00:008,000-pound towing capacity, level 4 ballistic door panels, dark mode, and 270-degree monitoring to analyze moving objects
00:07with potential threat levels.
00:09Calls it a super shop.
00:10That's a war kick for the title.
00:11See, we got hats and bats, infrared camera, breaching tools, two 32-inch screens.
00:21Can I have you watch, Commander?
00:22No, but you are riding with me today.
00:24Oh, okay. Show them droning.
00:26Oh, yeah.
00:27Check this out.
00:35Isn't he cute?
00:36Hey, really?
00:38Yeah.
00:38Look, super shop makes the Batmobile look like a kitty toy.
00:41And I can control it all right here from my phone.
00:45See?
00:48Damn it.
00:50Whoa, whoa.
00:51Damn it.
00:53Playing Tim's Pump-Up Japs.
00:54Damn it!
00:56Stop, stop, stop.
01:06It's not going to be as easy as you think.
01:08Based on this morning's demonstration, I'm well aware.
01:11It's not just that you're taking the watch commander duties on patrol.
01:14You're also exposing yourself to chain of command confusion when you land at a scene, even if you stay in
01:19the SUV.
01:20Super shop.
01:21Uh, it's a, it's a working thing.
01:28Morning.
01:29Morning.
01:30All right, listen up.
01:31We're going to do things a little different today.
01:33There'll be two supervisors out on the street.
01:36Sergeant Chen and myself.
01:39I know, I know, no one wants the boss showing up to their calls, second-guessing their every move.
01:44That is not my intention, okay?
01:46Nothing has to change.
01:47I just put wheels on my office.
01:48And while we work out the details, Officer Nolan will be riding with me to help facilitate the transition.
01:53Any questions?
01:55Can I pick a playlist?
01:58Stump question.
01:59All right, second order of business, Officer Juarez.
02:02We'll be on temporary duty assignment with the Detectives Bureau.
02:05Did you choose your focus?
02:06Yes.
02:07Missing persons.
02:08Oof.
02:09You sure about that?
02:10Yeah.
02:11Your call.
02:13All right, I have some updates from the night shift.
02:14This missing person's really not bad.
02:17Detective Desmond has a reputation.
02:19Like a, like Harper reputation?
02:21No, um, opposite.
02:24Last day at the DA's office.
02:26Excited?
02:27I'm relieved.
02:28When the DA had one foot in retirement, now that Vivian's DA elect, she's gonna have free reign.
02:32Well, none of that will matter once you quit and open a private practice in Malibu with a view of
02:36the ocean.
02:36Uh, with that commute, you'd never see me again.
02:39Well, in my dream, I also work in Malibu.
02:42I have a robot helicopter that flies the kids to school.
02:45And a pony.
02:45Well, sorry to kill another one of your dreams, but I already reached out to my old landlord,
02:48and the only view from that office is the Ethiopian place on the first floor.
02:52Oh, before you go, make sure you pass off my cases to the right prosecutors.
02:55Daniel's doesn't touch homicide.
02:56Give mine to Cosgrove.
02:58He is solid.
02:59That might be an issue.
03:00Cosgrove has quit.
03:01I gotta go.
03:01Good luck.
03:03Wesley, it's so good to see you.
03:04Yeah, right.
03:05I'm serious.
03:06No hard feelings on my end.
03:08Yeah, because you destroyed me.
03:08Well, exactly.
03:09I made good on the promise I made you when you threw your hat in the ring.
03:12It's nothing personal.
03:12In fact, I agree with you on a lot of the issues,
03:15and I know that together we can take the DA's office in a positive direction.
03:18Mm-hmm.
03:20You're not gonna fall for that, are you?
03:22No.
03:23I was about to hand in my resignation letter.
03:25Well, she won't accept it.
03:26With Cosgrove, Garcia, and Martin already out, she can't afford to lose anyone else.
03:29Martin quit?
03:30Keyed her car on the way out.
03:31A hero to us all.
03:33Come on.
03:37Hey, sorry about the election.
03:38That should have been me facing Vivian.
03:40You were handed a poison chalice.
03:41I drank from it willingly.
03:43So.
03:44How's Logan?
03:45He's good.
03:46You know, he just got another chip.
03:48He's been clean now almost four months.
03:50That's great.
03:51Yeah.
03:52What about you?
03:53You gonna do the Rothwell and Pierce thing?
03:55No, I'm, uh...
03:57I'm gonna stay here.
03:58And you should, too.
03:59Mm.
04:00Come on, Wes.
04:00You joined this place to change the culture from within.
04:03To ensure that justice, not punishment, was our paramount virtue.
04:08Remember?
04:08It's a very inspirational message.
04:10That just lost by 23 points.
04:12Look, Vivian ran on tough on crime.
04:15She's gonna deliver.
04:15Yeah, which is why the city needs people like us here.
04:18Now more than ever.
04:19Look, we still can make a difference.
04:21John.
04:22You're here already.
04:23Let's work together one last time.
04:24If at the end of the day you still want to quit, I won't stand anyway.
04:28This job is where ambition goes to die.
04:32Wait, what?
04:32Missing persons.
04:33It's not a real department.
04:35It's a halfway house for cases on the way to real departments.
04:38That's a lot of reports for a fake department.
04:41Ninety percent of these cases will solve themselves.
04:43Teenager just needed to blow off steam.
04:45A wife went on a bender, came home when she sobered up.
04:48Kid fell asleep playing hide-and-seek.
04:49Well, I've been on patrol for three years.
04:51I know most missing persons reports go nowhere,
04:53but there are people in this stack who are victims of real crimes.
04:58Crimes with their own departments, like trafficking or homicide.
05:01Sorry to interrupt.
05:03Homicide was on the graph case.
05:05A fisherman found a body, looks like murder.
05:06Rest in peace.
05:11Okay.
05:12Obviously, you know the job way better than I do,
05:14but it wouldn't hurt to look through the case files,
05:17see if there's anyone we can help.
05:19Knock yourself out.
05:26This thing drives like a dream.
05:29In these seats.
05:31Ten minutes in a regular shop, my ass is barking.
05:33Well, don't get used to it.
05:34You're just here while I work out the kinks.
05:37Once Penn is back from training, you're back in the shop,
05:39and I'm on my own.
05:39I have a 415 at 5th and Western.
05:42RP reports two shirtless men circling each other.
05:457 at 100, two blocks away, show us responding.
05:48You sure?
05:48Sounds like your basic alcohol feels like that.
05:51Yeah, I have to test response times,
05:52and even the most basic of calls.
05:56The captain's calling.
05:58Bradford.
05:58Can you hold?
06:00Yeah, I'll hold.
06:05I'll be right there.
06:06I got this one.
06:08LAPD, you guys break it up.
06:11Sorry, he was just called into a meeting.
06:13Can you hold just a minute longer?
06:14Thanks.
06:14No, I'm at...
06:26Sorry to keep you waiting.
06:27No problem, sir.
06:28We're getting a lot of complaints about vagrants in Stoner Park.
06:31I've got to say, renaming it would be a strong start.
06:34It's important that people feel safe in public places.
06:37Couldn't agree more.
06:37I'll have additional units in the area starting today.
06:40Okay, is that it?
06:41One more thing.
06:42I just want to say,
06:43your tireless commitment to justice and the people of this...
06:46Thank you, sir.
06:50Good job, sir.
06:51You supervised the hell out of that.
06:53You're still here.
06:54And I think I found a workable case.
06:56Sadie Bell, 30th, was reported missing last week,
06:59but according to her best friend, Joe,
07:00Sadie never misses visitation with her kid on the first Tuesday of every month.
07:05Walk with me.
07:08Reporting party's address?
07:09Oh, 5206th Street?
07:12It's a homeless shelter.
07:13Joe is unhoused, meaning Sadie's unhoused.
07:15Not the most reliable bunch.
07:16On the other hand, sir,
07:18unhoused women are highly vulnerable to physical and sexual assaults.
07:21True, and they're also more likely to be substance abusers
07:23who miss things like supervised child visitations.
07:26Well, I know.
07:27Well, I think it's worth investigating,
07:29so what's our first step?
07:30Why are you so gung-ho, Officer Horace?
07:33And don't just say the indefatigability of youth.
07:38My sister was abducted when I was a child, sir.
07:41I lived the fear of not knowing where a loved one is.
07:45Understandable.
07:47And quite noble.
07:48But I would caution you
07:49that the thousand files in my office
07:51are not an unending stack of potential happy endings.
07:54For the subset that are not just runaways or miscommunications,
07:58the endings are mostly heartbreaking.
08:04I haven't had a chance to review the reports,
08:06but it's at the top of my list.
08:07Okay, I appreciate the reminder.
08:11How did Gray make it look so easy?
08:13Well, the scowl helped.
08:14Yeah.
08:15You don't want to bother that face
08:16with anything less than an absolute emergency.
08:18My scowl is legendary.
08:20It was, but then Lucy moved in.
08:24You know what?
08:25I'll take it back.
08:27Hey, Dash, everything all right?
08:29Hey, so, lesson for the future.
08:31If somebody asks you if you want to see a dead body,
08:33say no.
08:35Dash, are you standing over a dead body?
08:39Yep.
08:40He's been here for at least a day.
08:42Won't know how long for sure
08:43until T.I.D. gets here and we turn him over.
08:45Kenneth Morris.
08:46K-Dog?
08:47For real?
08:49Oh, Kenny's my English teacher.
08:50Was my English teacher.
08:52Okay, so, uh, who found the body?
08:55Dakota.
08:56We're in fourth period together,
08:57but I didn't think it was real.
08:58She's always gossiping about something.
09:00Last week, she told me she was quitting school
09:02because she landed some influencer brand deal
09:04with Pop-Tarts.
09:05Turns out it was just a regional campaign.
09:07No offense.
09:07It just doesn't seem like Coastwood is your scene.
09:10Oh, it's not.
09:11Uh, but my mom said I needed a strong senior year
09:13in order to get into a good college.
09:15So, she landed an office job here.
09:17That way I get a major break on tuition.
09:18Dad, not in the picture?
09:19No, he kind of lurks in the background like the Babadook,
09:23specializing in bad decisions and hot cougars.
09:25Right.
09:27Uh, so you said Dakota found the body originally?
09:29Uh, no, Dakota said CJ told her about it,
09:31who heard about it from Ilya and Autumn,
09:33who might have heard about it from somebody else.
09:36So, how many teenagers came out to the woods,
09:39saw a dead body, and did nothing about it
09:41except tell their friends?
09:42Unknown.
09:43But I bet they all took selfies with it.
09:44I'm starving.
09:46Can we order green juice or something?
09:48Your intermittent fast doesn't end until one.
09:50We can talk after that.
09:51No one is asking you to spy on your friends.
09:54No, we have hidden surveillance set up
09:56to capture candid conversations.
09:57Tight.
09:58Uh, but they're not my friends.
09:59No.
10:00How's my hair?
10:01It's fine.
10:03Who were you trying to impress?
10:04No one.
10:05Autumn.
10:09She's pretty.
10:10It's like saying that the hanging gardens of Babylon
10:12were cool instead of a feat of unparalleled engineering
10:15that redefined elegance and beauty in the ancient world.
10:18But I'm a little biased.
10:20Clearly.
10:21She's nice.
10:22Hey, Dad.
10:23Do you want to come to my premiere tonight?
10:25Uh, yeah, totally.
10:26I would love to.
10:27No, wait.
10:28My publicist said we already did our charity work for the year,
10:31so you're out of luck.
10:32Sorry.
10:34What are you premiering?
10:36The new LaPorte film.
10:37It's already getting Oscar buzz.
10:38Oh.
10:38Who do you play in the movie?
10:40Young Attic No. 2.
10:41No lines, but my featured reactions really carry the film.
10:45Oh, by the way, I have a hard-out at three.
10:47Blam Squad's coming to my house.
10:48Well, we'll try to get you out in time for the full-face shellacking.
10:52Do you have a parent or guardian with you?
10:53Oh, no, thank you.
10:56I was legally emancipated when I was 13,
10:58so I could, um, work adult hours on set.
11:01I don't need them here.
11:03Great.
11:03Let's interview you first.
11:05I see.
11:06Please tell me Jack won't be going there.
11:08It's not definite,
11:09but Jack's preschool is the feeder school for Coastwood.
11:13It would be an easy transition.
11:16Logistically, maybe, but emotionally.
11:18Won't you die a little?
11:19Yes.
11:20But L.A. elementary schools are more competitive than Stanford,
11:23and having an easy path would save hundreds of hours of stress.
11:26Yeah, but then he'd be going to school with kids like these.
11:29That's where it falls apart.
11:30And what can you tell me about Morris?
11:32Oh, Kenny was such a sweetie.
11:34Even when I had to miss a lot of class last year,
11:36he was so chill about it.
11:37Why did you have to miss school?
11:38I was doing this indie project.
11:40We were supposed to premiere at Sundance,
11:42but then the director had all these, like,
11:45harassment allegations or whatever
11:46and got basically blackballed.
11:47And now my career has to suffer.
11:49Like, did Kenneth have any disagreements
11:51with other teachers, faculty?
11:53No.
11:54I really can't imagine anyone wanting to hurt Ken Ken.
11:56It wasn't traditionally attractive, sure,
11:58but that's no reason to be murdered.
12:00Right?
12:02Can I vape in here?
12:04I have a note from my therapist.
12:05He does.
12:06I have it right here.
12:08No.
12:08Who first told you about the body in the woods?
12:11It was Sushi Tuesday,
12:12so I was pretty laser-focused,
12:14and whether I wanted ahi or uni,
12:17I think I ended up getting both.
12:19Let's focus here.
12:21Where did you hear about the body?
12:23Well, I remember Autumn mentioning something earlier in the day
12:26when she was talking to Ilya,
12:28but Ilya said he had heard it from...
12:30Zoe.
12:30I guess she originally saw something about it
12:33in a DM from Lynette
12:34when she was going through CJ's phone,
12:35and given what happened on the school trip last year,
12:38it is super sketchy that he was DMing Lynette.
12:42Backup, where do we think the rumor started?
12:45Nowhere.
12:45Like, everywhere.
12:46How are we further from figuring this out
12:48than when we started?
12:49I'll call for backup.
12:50Hi again.
12:51Thank God.
12:52Normal teenager.
12:53No offense, it's just your classmates tend to be...
12:57Overwhelmed by their own champagne problems.
12:59I get it.
12:59My dysfunction is a little bit more proletariat.
13:02Yes, that's one way to put it.
13:03Yeah, I don't really hang out with them much outside of school,
13:05and that's not just because I didn't make Forbes 20 under 20,
13:08but it's definitely a factor.
13:09Well, we're not done with the interviews yet,
13:11but so far no one we have talked to has said
13:13they're the one who started the rumor.
13:15They all claim to have heard it from someone else.
13:17Right.
13:17So, Reese heard about it from CJ,
13:19who heard about it from Zoe,
13:20who saw it in a DM from...
13:23You said that Reese heard about it from CJ?
13:25That's what she told us.
13:26That doesn't make any sense.
13:27They got in a huge fight last week
13:28about, you know,
13:29whether or not sending nudes to other people
13:31counts as cheating.
13:32They haven't spoken to each other since,
13:33and word in the halls is that Zoe and CJ
13:35are the new it couple.
13:36Oh my God, yes.
13:37I was totally picking up on that vibe,
13:38but I saw that Zoe wasn't following CJ on Instagram,
13:41so I put it from my head,
13:42but when I double back to check,
13:44it looks like she does follow him,
13:45but only with her Finsta.
13:47With her Finsta, yeah.
13:49Okay, this is actually all starting to make sense.
13:51It is?
13:53So, Lynette and Emma,
13:54they went to the bathroom
13:55to do a fit check
13:56for their joint Instagram account,
13:58and Lynette said that she hears somebody crying
14:00in one of the stalls,
14:01and she says that it's Reese
14:03because she recognizes her leather tabbies.
14:05Travis tells Paul in the parking lot
14:07that he heard about a dead body
14:09from some bitch in first period,
14:11and who does he have first period with?
14:14Reese.
14:14And Dash heard about the body from Dakota,
14:17who is Reese's second best friend,
14:19but she has been fighting for that number one spot,
14:22so, I mean,
14:23she would do anything that Reese says.
14:25So if Reese told Dakota to lie
14:27about where she heard about the body...
14:29This is all coming back to Reese.
14:31Okay, so is Reese witness zero,
14:34or is she the killer?
14:37Sadie!
14:44Yeah.
14:46Okay.
14:48You know, the night Sadie went missing,
14:50it was pouring rain,
14:51and the shelter was full,
14:52so I'm thinking she crawled in here
14:54to stay dry and got trapped.
14:57A couple months ago,
14:58I found a bunch of guys
14:59living it up in an access tunnel.
15:01Electricity, Wi-Fi, the whole thing.
15:04They had the right idea.
15:06But you also have electricity and Wi-Fi.
15:08Yeah, but I have to pay for it.
15:12You know, one of those gays,
15:13if they locked behind her,
15:14she could be trapped
15:15or too injured to crawl out.
15:16Yeah, but at this point,
15:18she's probably dead from dehydration.
15:20Wait, what?
15:24Sadie!
15:26If you can hear me,
15:27make a sound!
15:38Desmond,
15:39where are you?
15:40I'm inside a service tunnel
15:41looking for Sadie.
15:42I called the shelter.
15:43She showed up this morning.
15:44You're kidding.
15:45Well, why didn't they call us?
15:46They never do.
15:47So she was fine this whole time?
15:48Yeah, it turns out
15:49that her friend had the visitation date wrong.
15:51But hey, cheer up.
15:53At least you only wasted your own time.
15:58I am so sorry.
16:09Oh, hey, Selena.
16:12Hey, I heard about the missing person
16:14who wasn't missing.
16:15Already.
16:16I just got back.
16:17Smitty was with you.
16:18Right.
16:19Oh, I'm gonna owe a lot of favors
16:21after dragging the cavalry
16:22through the sewers.
16:23Okay, first of all,
16:24do not refer to any group
16:25that includes Smitty
16:26as the cavalry in second.
16:28Those guys will forgive you.
16:29Or, you know,
16:29somebody else will screw up way worse
16:30and then they'll be focused on that.
16:32Well, I'm kidding.
16:33Hey, one misstep
16:35does not change the fact
16:36that your instincts here
16:37are legendary.
16:38So just take a second
16:39to wallow in this
16:40but then get cleaned up
16:41and get back out there, yeah?
16:42Yeah.
16:48Hey.
16:50Oh, you're too kind.
16:51And yes,
16:52I'm really looking forward
16:53to working with you as well,
16:54Madam Mayor.
16:54Okay, bye-bye.
16:56Sorry.
16:57I've been so busy.
16:58Before I make the big move upstairs,
17:00I wanted to get our house in order
17:02a little bit clear of the deck.
17:03So we have 27 felony arrests
17:06waiting prosecution.
17:08We just do not have the manpower
17:09to take them all to trial.
17:11Why?
17:11Did you lose some ADAs or something?
17:14There's been turnover, yes.
17:16So I've got plea deals
17:18approved for all these cases
17:19and I need you both
17:20to get them signed ASAP.
17:21Murder, too?
17:22This guy robbed a convenience store
17:24and the clerk had a heart attack.
17:25That is felony manslaughter
17:26at best.
17:27And the teen who pegged
17:28his principal with a football
17:29is assault with a deadly weapon?
17:30Did the DA sign off on these?
17:32I pointed to the significant mandate
17:33voters handed me
17:34and he agreed.
17:35Well, their lawyers
17:36are not going to agree
17:37to these terms.
17:38Make them agree.
17:41Okay.
17:42Okay.
17:44Okay.
17:46Okay.
17:50Apple Pruitt.
17:51She lives in my building.
17:52Her mother reported
17:53her missing a month ago
17:54when she didn't return
17:54from Coachella.
17:56Every year we get
17:57a spiker in ports
17:58after Coachella.
17:59This is one time
18:00this guy disassociated so hard
18:01he reported himself missing.
18:03No, but this one's weird.
18:04Apple has a strong
18:06social media presence
18:06but didn't post anything
18:08about what happened this year.
18:09There was a massive dust storm.
18:11They canceled day two
18:12at the Sahara tent.
18:13I mean, everyone
18:13was posting about it.
18:14It's not exactly
18:15the smoking gun.
18:16Okay, listen.
18:17I know how this sounds
18:18but something is telling
18:18me to investigate.
18:21I see what's going on.
18:23You said she lives
18:23in your building?
18:24Mm-hmm.
18:24Classic move.
18:26You take a case
18:27near your house
18:28so you can investigate
18:29it from your living room.
18:30When the shift ends
18:31you're just a few steps
18:32from your futon.
18:32I'm not trying
18:33to go home early.
18:35That's too bad.
18:37I thought you were
18:38finally catching on.
18:41There's no obvious
18:42connection between
18:42Reese and Mr. Morris.
18:44He did tutor her
18:45every week
18:45but he tutored
18:46a lot of the kids.
18:47Yeah, and his Venmo
18:48transactions show
18:48that he was pulling
18:49down six figures
18:50on top of his salary.
18:51Why is tutoring
18:52in quotes?
18:53And one of the parents
18:54added a winky face emoji.
18:59Every student who paid
19:00for tutoring got an A.
19:01The only kid who was
19:02struggling was Dash.
19:03Yeah, his mom was
19:04barely scraping tuition
19:05together.
19:05They couldn't afford
19:06anything extra.
19:07Okay, so the parents
19:09are paying for grades
19:09so the kids get into
19:10a better college
19:11but I mean,
19:12why kill him?
19:13Maybe.
19:14He couldn't deliver.
19:15If I spent that
19:15kind of money
19:16and my kid didn't
19:17get into their dream
19:17school,
19:18I'd be pissed.
19:21Reese, have you decided
19:22what college you're
19:23going to?
19:23Um, I think I may be
19:25taking a gap year.
19:26From your social media
19:27accounts, it seems like
19:28you're all about Yale.
19:30It's kind of my mom's
19:31thing.
19:32But you did apply.
19:33Yeah, I applied to
19:34lots of places
19:35but I didn't get in.
19:38So.
19:39Was your mom upset?
19:41Yeah, I guess.
19:43Reese, we know it was
19:44you who started the
19:44rumor.
19:45No, I heard it from
19:47CJ.
19:47We know that's not
19:48true.
19:49But you did tell
19:50Dakota and Travis
19:52and Lynette.
19:54You know what that
19:54tells me?
19:57You wanted someone
19:58to know.
19:59You wanted the police
20:00to know but you just
20:01didn't want to be the
20:01one to call.
20:03It didn't seem right
20:04that he was just
20:05lying out there.
20:07How do you know
20:08he'd been killed?
20:12I stayed late on
20:13Tuesday.
20:14My mom wanted to
20:15talk to Mr. Morris.
20:16She was so angry
20:18about Yale.
20:19She was yelling at
20:20him and he wanted to
20:21talk somewhere private
20:22so they went out
20:23back behind the
20:25school.
20:25I waited and
20:27waited and finally
20:29my mom came back.
20:32Just her.
20:33Not him.
20:35and her hands
20:37were.
20:38She wouldn't talk
20:39about it but I
20:41I knew she did
20:42something.
20:45I didn't want any
20:46of this to happen.
20:47I don't even care
20:47about college.
20:54Well, at least I know
20:56why I was failing
20:56in the class.
20:57Your mom wasn't
20:58bribing the teacher.
20:58Yeah, then I never
20:59did any homework.
21:02Listen, your mom
21:03is stuck at school.
21:03Things are about as
21:04hectic over there
21:04as you can imagine
21:05so your dad's
21:06going to come take
21:06you home.
21:08Is that right?
21:09Yeah, it's fine.
21:10He shows up every
21:11six to eight months
21:12to remind everybody
21:13where my mom got
21:14sole custody.
21:14I'm telling you
21:15you cannot lose.
21:17You would be a fool
21:17not to invest.
21:18Hit me up on socials.
21:19I will tell you
21:20more about it, okay?
21:21Hey, this is my guy.
21:23How you doing?
21:24I still haven't had
21:24that grocery yet, huh?
21:25I'm pacing myself.
21:26Hey, sorry I haven't
21:27been around much.
21:28Been working crazy hours.
21:30But good news.
21:31Tiger Bear has
21:32one more investor
21:32signed on with a
21:33non-binding verbal
21:34agreement.
21:34Tiger Bear?
21:35It's a soup.
21:36It's a breakfast soup.
21:37Dash, come on.
21:38No, that was the last one.
21:39Tiger Bear Whiskey Tequila
21:40is the whiskey-less startup.
21:42It's going to be huge.
21:43You should get in
21:44on the grand floor, champ.
21:45I'm telling you
21:45an investment of ten grand
21:46will triple by the end
21:48of the year, guaranteed.
21:49You do know your son
21:50found one of his teachers
21:50dead behind the school gym
21:51today.
21:52Damn it.
21:55Sorry, sorry.
21:56Uh, okay.
21:56Uh, keep going.
21:57Uh, so Dash was
21:59working out and, uh...
21:59Just take me home.
22:01Will they have to
22:01excavate the passenger
22:02seat for parking tickets
22:03again, or...
22:04He's joking.
22:05I am a model citizen.
22:06Don't say that.
22:09Dash.
22:11I'm around if you need me.
22:13So we gotta stop by
22:14my place first,
22:15but we'll make it a pro app.
22:16You know, or some Zah.
22:16We'll watch last week's UFC.
22:18No problem?
22:20Just the universal
22:21unfairness of the world.
22:22Nothing actionable.
22:26Thanks for coming in.
22:27This is a plea deal.
22:29And before you ask,
22:29it's the best deal
22:30your client's gonna get.
22:31I know.
22:32Murder, too.
22:32It seems excessive.
22:33I mean, all you did
22:34was rob a convenience store.
22:35It wasn't your fault
22:37that the clerk
22:37had a heart attack.
22:39The man had
22:39end-stage heart disease.
22:40Now, a jury could see that
22:42as extenuating circumstances.
22:44I mean, if the jury
22:45was blind,
22:46maybe they'd see that
22:47as a gang tattoo.
22:48But I don't have to
22:49risk that possibility
22:50if you just say yes
22:51to the plea.
22:51I mean, who cares
22:52if there's no precedent
22:53for a felony prosecution
22:53this severe?
22:55So what if our only witness
22:56has been charged
22:56with perjury
22:57and false accusations
22:58in two other cases?
23:00I mean, if you think
23:01you could do better at trial,
23:02you just push that plea deal
23:03right back at me.
23:24The music is nowhere near
23:26too loud.
23:27I'm Officer Juarez
23:29with LAPD.
23:29Yeah, I'm following
23:30your roommate
23:31Apple Pruitt's case.
23:32Yeah, she hasn't
23:33come home, right?
23:34No.
23:34No, I'm, I'm,
23:35I'm very sick.
23:37Do you mind
23:38if I come inside?
23:39Sure.
23:40Yeah, of course.
23:46I've actually been
23:47boxing up
23:47Apple's things all day.
23:49It's officially
23:4930 days tomorrow.
23:51I just, I need
23:52someone else in here
23:52to help me
23:53with this crazy rant.
23:55Not that Apple
23:56is great about paying.
23:57She doesn't believe
23:58in money
23:59or monogamy
24:00or cleaning.
24:02She sounds like
24:03a lot.
24:04Oh, don't get me wrong.
24:05She was,
24:06is, um,
24:08one of my favorite people.
24:09Just not the greatest
24:10at cohabitation.
24:11Right.
24:13And the last time
24:14you saw her
24:14was right before
24:15she left for Coachella?
24:16She left going
24:17even though
24:17she had her issues
24:19before.
24:20I mean,
24:20bad drugs
24:21and aggressive guys.
24:22She definitely
24:23had some scares.
24:25And you think
24:25that's what happened
24:26to her?
24:27I, I don't know.
24:28Um, I mean,
24:30I'm just trying
24:31to be helpful.
24:32But I'm desperate
24:33for you to find her.
24:35Do you mind
24:36if I take a look
24:36at her bedroom?
24:37Yeah, no problem.
24:38It's, uh,
24:39it's right over there.
24:58I kind of heartbeat.
25:10I'm desperate.
25:10I'm desperate.
25:15You must have
25:15fired?
25:15I'm desperate.
25:17I'm desperate.
25:20I'm desperate.
25:25You must have
25:30I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
25:32It's not what you think.
26:18This is Officer Juarez, badge number 53397.
26:20I'm code 4 with a possible 245 suspect,
26:23also suspected of an 187-cent backup.
26:26I need an RATID to my location.
26:30You don't understand.
26:32She was the worst roommate ever.
26:37I'm pretty sure you're the worst roommate ever.
26:42So, this is just temporary,
26:45but the money train is chugging into the station.
26:49Then I'm going to be playing the how-many-square-feet-is-too-many-square-feet game.
26:53Want some?
26:54Uh, no thanks.
26:54I just shotgunned some gasoline.
27:05Oh, God.
27:06I had some serious stuff.
27:07Hey, um, so this fancy private school of yours...
27:10Where a teacher was just murdered?
27:12Really?
27:13How have you not been paying attention?
27:15Never mind.
27:16Of course you haven't.
27:16All I'm saying is, you're in the perfect spot
27:18to help your dear old dad raise some cash money capital.
27:21I'm having supply issues in the Czech Republic.
27:23But they specialize in neither whiskey nor chicken.
27:25Okay, that is besides the point.
27:27Anyways, you would be helping out the family
27:29if I can get you to make a few introductions.
27:31If I say I'll think about it, will you take me home?
27:34Come on, what's the rush?
27:35Party's just getting started.
27:38Guns!
27:39I know you went there.
27:40Open the damn door.
27:44We're gonna go out the window.
27:46No, we're not.
27:47I can hear you went there.
27:49Open the door or we kick it in.
27:50Uh, okay.
27:51Um, so, a few of my friends are here.
27:54Um, you gotta go hide.
27:56Why would I hide from your friends?
27:57Just go.
27:58Go.
27:59And don't come out.
28:00No matter what.
28:08Dash?
28:09I think I might be in some trouble.
28:14Fellas.
28:14Wait, wait, wait, wait.
28:15I'm sorry about the confusion.
28:17Your money, it's being transferred.
28:18It's just the act, you know?
28:19It takes a few days, so...
28:22Okay, where are you?
28:23Uh, the closet.
28:25Dad's apartment.
28:26They're beating him up.
28:27I can get your money just one more day.
28:30Like, two times.
28:31Wait, wait, wait, wait, no.
28:32All right, stay hidden until we get there.
28:34I can't.
28:36They'll kill him.
28:37I have to do something.
28:38No, Dash.
28:39Dash, no.
28:44I don't know how you can get your money.
28:46What the hell is this?
28:47It's, uh, my neighbor.
28:48He waters my plants.
28:53You are such a liar.
28:54Although lying to protect your kid is almost noble,
28:57it'd be ashamed if I had to break all his teeth,
28:59stump both his hands in a suit.
29:01Pass, pass, and pass.
29:03How about we go with my plan instead?
29:06Rob a bunch of rich kids that go to my school?
29:08Who wants a Rolex?
29:12You better not be lying, kid.
29:14Your dad is out of free passes.
29:18Let's go.
29:23Dash would never knowingly put someone in danger.
29:25So he tracked down whether any school families are out of town.
29:28The LaPorte premier.
29:29He's a pretentious auteur filmmaker.
29:31His new movie launches tonight.
29:33Autumn Harrington is in it.
29:34That's the girl that Dash has a crush on.
29:36Her address is in the system.
29:41Damn, who is this chick?
29:43Autumn?
29:43She's an up-and-coming it girl.
29:45Her new project's getting Oscar buzz.
29:47Yeah?
29:48Well, let's hope she get paid in diamond bracelets.
29:51You know, stuff that's easy to pawn.
29:53Otherwise, you and your dad gonna find out
29:55what the landfill tastes like.
29:57Out.
30:02Stay with Gus until I give you the signal.
30:04All right.
30:07Man, for what it's worth,
30:09no dad is the biggest train wrecker I ever met.
30:11My old man, he in prison.
30:13Trying to steal a FedEx plane with a tow truck.
30:15Well, if you're the ghost of my future self,
30:17I might just have to Virginia Woolf it.
30:20I don't know what that mean.
30:21She was arguably the most influential writer
30:23of the 20th century.
30:25Ended it all by walking into a river
30:26with rocks in her pockets.
30:30Nobody likes a comedian, kid.
30:32I'd argue, but the gun gives you the last word.
30:37Hey, if this is set up,
30:39I'm killing everybody.
30:40Got it?
30:41Yes, sir.
30:46You're not my agadashi tofu.
30:48You're not supposed to be here.
30:49Well, you cut me out of the movies
30:51when I wasn't on the list.
30:52Do you know how mortifying that...
30:55Who the hell are you?
30:56Hey, who else in the house?
30:57Nobody.
30:57My parents are in Monaco.
31:00All right.
31:00Get over here.
31:01I don't want to.
31:02No problem.
31:03I'll just shoot you.
31:10Who dance?
31:11What?
31:11Why?
31:12Whoa.
31:13It's even bigger on the inside.
31:15See, this is the kind of place
31:16I'm going to get when I get paid.
31:17Hey, man, shut up!
31:19Stay down here with the idiot, all right?
31:20Steal anything that's shiny.
31:25Now, take me to your parents, Raminade.
31:27Better have a boatload of watches and jurors.
31:28Hey, hey.
31:28Whoa, whoa.
31:29Those whiskey bottles worth like 500 each.
31:31I'm just going to grab a couple.
31:32Show me.
31:33All right, let me know.
31:38How about this?
31:39The Merlot, really?
31:40No, dude, those two are worth way more.
31:51All right, all right.
32:24Hey, where's the jewelry?
32:26Crozet.
32:27All right.
32:28All right.
32:29Come on.
32:29Hey, hey.
32:30Stay here.
32:34Okay.
32:41I can't believe you brought them to my house.
32:43I panicked, okay?
32:44They were going to kill my dad.
32:46Besides, you weren't supposed to be here.
32:47Whatever knowingly put you in danger.
32:49Because you're the odds for me.
32:51I have romantic intentions, yeah.
32:54But clearly you don't share them, so.
32:56It's not like you're not cute.
32:58You're just.
32:59Poor?
33:00Exactly.
33:06What are you doing?
33:07Looking for a gun.
33:08Oh, that's not a gun.
33:10Oh.
33:10Oh.
33:11Your parents are freaky.
33:12What the hell are you doing?
33:13Get away from there.
33:14Oh, no.
33:14Sorry.
33:15Sorry.
33:18I'm never going to be able to look my parents in the eye again.
33:21Me neither.
33:23Hey, Andre wouldn't really hurt my kid, right?
33:25This is a scare tactic.
33:26I mean, I know I'm not a great dad, but I try, you know?
33:30When it's convenient for me.
33:32Like, I want to be better.
33:34Like, I really do.
33:34I think about it all the time.
33:37Well, not all the time.
33:39It's not the heart of the problem, really.
33:41I just got to be better.
33:42The kid deserves a role model, not the flaming hot mess I am on a daily basis.
33:48It feels really good to come clean about this, you know?
33:50It's kind of cathartic.
33:51Wake up.
33:51When the hell did you get here?
33:53Where's Dash?
33:54Let's go.
33:55No, she's staying here.
33:56She hasn't seen your face, so you're in the clear.
33:58Just, you can do whatever you want to be.
33:59Just let her go.
34:00Hey, man, you got balls, kid.
34:01Unlike your father, but she cannot stay here, all right?
34:03Let's go.
34:04There's a gold bar on that bedside table.
34:06Yeah, right.
34:06I'm serious.
34:07But if you want to leave it, like...
34:09All right, stay right here.
34:11Don't move.
34:17Get back.
34:19Drop it.
34:21Come on, get up.
34:24Hey, you all okay?
34:26Physically.
34:28Physically.
34:28Yeah, give me this.
34:30Come here.
34:31Ow.
34:32Thanks.
34:34And thanks for trying to save me.
34:36Yeah, any time.
34:38Oh, thank God.
34:40Although, I knew it was all going to be all right.
34:43Hey, um, maybe we don't tell your mom about this.
34:46You know, we just keep it a bro thing.
34:47Stop.
34:48Just stop.
34:49Everything that you do, everything that you say is just so selfish, so toxic.
34:54You haven't done one fatherly thing for me in my entire life.
34:57All you care about is yourself, and I'm just sick of it.
35:01I'm done with you.
35:03Forever.
35:04What?
35:11So, we met with all 27 defendants.
35:14It's the craziest thing.
35:15We tried our hardest.
35:16None of them would accept a plea deal.
35:17Not a one.
35:18Well, I hope you've kept your weekends clear, because now you've got 27 trials you're going
35:22to need to prepare for.
35:24About that, I quit.
35:27And I'd say, best of luck, but I hope you fail.
35:31Spectacularly.
35:31Sorry, Sean.
35:32I just can't.
35:33No.
35:33No worries.
35:34I can't either.
35:36I quit, too.
35:37Oh.
35:38Hey, what do you think of the law firm of Del Monte and Evers?
35:40Well, you haven't worked a day in your life as a defense attorney.
35:42Evers and Del Monte.
35:45Turn to the right.
35:46Way ahead of you.
35:47Not my first rodeo.
35:49Well, we just need your clothes for evidence, and then, uh, you need to go.
35:54After everything that happened?
35:56The DA may still press charges, but it's pretty clear you were under duress.
36:01I really wanted this time to be different.
36:03I was going to buy Dash a car with the tiger bear money.
36:06I looked to make up for lost time, you know?
36:09But she's right.
36:10I screw everything up.
36:11She's better off without me.
36:13Probably.
36:15I've had some experience with bad fathers, and the love the sons feel for them, no matter
36:20how many times they get their hearts broken.
36:23And unless you're willing to change, and I mean really change, the best thing you can do
36:29for Dash is just, leave them the hell alone.
36:41What were you thinking?
36:44I'm fine.
36:45Thanks for asking.
36:46Do you know how close you were to becoming a missing person yourself?
36:48If she would have succeeded in killing you, how would I have known?
36:50First thing she'd do is destroy your phone.
36:52So when I pulled to your last known location, it would be your building.
36:56So to me and the world, you were home, and then you vanished.
37:00I see that now.
37:01It's just I figured I'd stop by and ask a few questions.
37:04We have protocols for a reason.
37:07Yes, sir.
37:09I let my best intentions obscure my judgment, proving I still have a lot to learn about this
37:15job.
37:16But if I can be so bold as to ask a favor...
37:23You can ask.
37:25I remain undaunted.
37:28So if a file comes across your desk that gives you a feeling, call me.
37:32I am happy to run down any lead I can for you, free of charge.
37:41Deal.
37:43And for what it's worth, I'm glad you're okay.
37:47I've made all these mistakes, but I've made them mine.
38:01Your dad's gone, and your mom's on her way.
38:04Cool.
38:07You want to talk about anything?
38:10Uh, not really.
38:12I think I'm a little talked out for once.
38:15Understood.
38:18You're not at the risk of sounding overly earnest.
38:22You're a very special young man.
38:25Despite work.
38:27Maybe even because of what your father's put you through.
38:30Now, I know you know that you're not him in any, any way, shape, or form.
38:36But I also know that family pain is emotional and not intellectual.
38:46I'm just trying to say, um, if you ever need a reminder of this conversation, you have my number.
38:53Thanks.
38:55And just to be clear, you're saying I can call you every morning at the crack of dawn just to
38:59tell me I'm awesome?
39:00No.
39:01Every other morning.
39:02Twice a week, final offer.
39:04I can live with that.
39:05If you can live with unlimited text, DMs, and social media shout-outs.
39:10Just the calls.
39:11Okay.
