00:10We can't stay here!
00:12Drop back. Help the others get out. I'll hold them up as long as I can.
00:16You sure? Yeah, go, go. I'm right behind you.
00:40You are the manliest of men.
00:43Oh, you're just saying that because you want something from me.
00:47Not from you. For us.
00:49I fail to see how moving to D.C. for your job is for us.
00:53Happy wife, happy life.
00:54Look, I totally get that D.C. police would be a lateral move at best,
00:59and at this stage of your career, starting at the bottom, is a no-go.
01:03But going federal is a step up, right?
01:06You're saying the FBI is better than the LAPD?
01:09No. No.
01:11But there are multiple federal law enforcement agencies that would be lucky to have you.
01:15You're just not gonna give up on this, are you?
01:17John, it's my dream job.
01:19Would you just investigate if there is a federal cop job that would excite you?
01:28Sure.
01:33It's not fair.
01:35Men's choices are simple.
01:36Blue suit or a gray suit.
01:38Red tie or a blue tie.
01:40The struggle on what constitutes dressing professionally for women is real.
01:44You look amazing in everything.
01:47How's the speech coming?
01:48Well...
01:49Oh, my God.
01:50What am I gonna wear to your announcement?
01:51I'm running for the D.A., not the president.
01:53Be lucky if I get a blurb on page 12.
01:55That's a lie and you know it.
01:57Los Angeles district attorney is a race that generates national attention.
02:02I really don't have the right outfit for that.
02:04Can we focus on my speech, which I have to give in less than 48 hours and is terrible?
02:08Well, we're in Hollywood. Just get a punch up from a few A-listers, like the Oscars do.
02:13Yeah, but I don't need ozempic jokes. I need something that captures my ethos, who I am as a candidate.
02:18First of all, never say ethos again. You need to be relatable. A progressive family man who is also tough
02:24on crime with the backing of law enforcement.
02:26You're describing a unicorn. I can't please everybody, Angela.
02:30Right now, you're not even pleasing me. Seriously, what am I gonna wear?
02:34I know. I'll make Harper go shopping with me on our lunch break.
02:40Right. But what about my speech?
02:43It's gonna be great.
02:44It's gonna be a nightmare.
02:46You don't know that.
02:48All right, fine. Maybe it will. Maybe your presentation on the biology of single cell organisms is gonna go horribly
02:54wrong, resulting in a major wardrobe malfunction and expulsion for emotional defenestration.
03:01You know I don't like public speaking.
03:03No one does, except for sociopaths. But you are smart and you are charming and it's gonna be great, okay?
03:09And no matter what, I love you.
03:13It's gonna suck, but I love you too.
03:17There's so many things I love about living with you, but carpooling is tops because I get to sleep in
03:22for an extra half hour and finish my makeup in the car.
03:24You weren't sleeping this morning.
03:27Don't look so pleased.
03:28Why not? It was pleasing.
03:33Isn't carpooling great?
03:34I was just saying that.
03:35Sir, how you doing this morning?
03:36I'll be better once the conversation shifts from eyeliner to assault and battery.
03:39I'll stop. We were practicing judo throws last night in the backyard for two hours. Your man card is fully
03:44punched.
03:48Now that's a car.
03:52That's Aaron!
03:53What's that?
03:54Hey!
03:56Now Thorsten's family's loaded.
03:58Aw, hey.
03:59Despite that, he's become a half-decent cop.
04:01I heard that. You think I'm half-decent?
04:03Sergeant, you get those flowers I sent you, right?
04:05Yes, they were lovely, but too much.
04:07No, no, no. You deserved him for acing the exam.
04:10Also, I heard you scored higher than Sergeant Bradford.
04:12That's not the point.
04:13And a word of advice, when you buy out half the floor, she'd make a boyfriend look bad.
04:17Go big or go home, right?
04:18Speaking of, you gotta be Texas.
04:20Yes, sir. Miles Penn.
04:22Aaron, you almost finished with the FTO program, right?
04:24Graduating next month.
04:25We'll see about that.
04:26Don't listen to him.
04:27So, hey, what are you doing here?
04:28Oh, Gray wanted to bring me in to talk about joining the Monica Task Force.
04:32Oh, that's so cool.
04:33Yeah.
04:33Probably because you're partying in the same big money but despicable universe as many elite criminals.
04:37Well, I like to think it's because he respects my work.
04:40But it could be both.
04:46I'm on track to graduate, right?
04:51Don't rush to calm my fears or anything.
04:53What?
04:53About whether I'm on track to complete the FTO program on schedule?
04:56Oh, yeah, yeah, sorry.
04:57Yeah, I just got something on my mind.
04:59I would say that as of this moment, you have sufficiently completed the necessary checklist in the prescribed timeline.
05:06But the next month will be crucial.
05:09Comforting?
05:10Not really.
05:12Anything I can help with on the distraction front?
05:14Oh, no.
05:17Was your former girlfriend fully on board with your dreams to move to L.A.?
05:21Yeah.
05:22Totally.
05:23At first.
05:25We were in love.
05:27We thought as long as we were together, everything would work itself out.
05:30Feels naive now to think that somehow we could overcome wanting different things in life.
05:35Why?
05:36You think of the movie?
05:36No.
05:37Well, I don't know.
05:40Hey, how's it going with Raj?
05:43Good.
05:45Yeah?
05:46Long distance is challenging.
05:48But his European tour ends next week.
05:50So that'll be nice.
05:51All units, shots fired near Jacoma and Lincoln.
05:54Seven at 15, responding.
05:56Seven at 15, also responding.
05:57Hey, man.
05:58Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
06:05Control, we're code six, along with seven at 15 at shots fired scene.
06:09We have a Sheriff's vehicle parked.
06:10Driver's door open.
06:12No sign of occupants.
06:13Copy that.
06:14We have not been notified that they are in the area.
06:15I'll check with their dispatch.
06:16Control, we have a door open.
06:17at 1701 South Myer Street.
06:19We are investigating.
06:20Send two additional units, please.
07:06I have an officer down over here.
07:09Yeah, me too, me too.
07:11Deputy, is the shooter still here?
07:12They took off.
07:13We were ambushed.
07:14I need an RA to my location,
07:16two wounded officers,
07:17one male, 30s,
07:18second female, 20s,
07:20both conscious and breathing.
07:21It's gonna hurt like hell,
07:22but I need to stop the bleeding.
07:23Oh, man.
07:27Easy, easy.
07:28What the hell happened here?
07:29Who are we looking for?
07:30A royal.
07:31Who's a royal?
07:31He's a CI.
07:32He said he had intel,
07:33but when he showed up,
07:34he started shooting.
07:39What it do, Luke?
07:40Come on, Lieutenant.
07:43Thanks for coming in.
07:44Ooh, old school.
07:45I like it.
07:45These are all the apex predators
07:47Monica claims she can help us take down.
07:49Yeah, so naturally he thought of me.
07:50Actually, it was my idea.
07:52This is my niece, Elena.
07:53She just graduated from Quantico,
07:54where she specialized in cybercrime
07:56and giving her uncle heart palpitations.
07:58He's being dramatic.
07:59You can't break the evasive driving course record
08:01without getting it up on two wheels
08:02at least once.
08:04Wait, look, if you're looking for speed,
08:05I got the 60th anniversary Lambo outside.
08:08You know, we could hit the track
08:09and maybe...
08:09Never mind.
08:10For the last year,
08:11my team has been chasing rumors
08:12of a next-gen communication system,
08:14a private phone network
08:15used by the top 0.1%
08:16of heavy hitters
08:17and terrorist organizations.
08:19But because the clientele
08:20is so exclusive,
08:22the FBI hasn't been able to prove it.
08:24And then Monica made her immunity deal
08:26and provided us with the first proof
08:27that this network exists.
08:29That is literally a million-dollar phone.
08:32It is untappable
08:33and untraceable by law enforcement
08:34because it's run through
08:35a private satellite network.
08:36Our first goal is to get our hands on one,
08:38not with the intention of making arrests,
08:40but of secretly infiltrating
08:41and bugging the network
08:42so we can then spy on all of their calls.
08:46Unfortunately for them,
08:47I only had one client,
08:48elite enough to possess a phone,
08:50and he and his phone
08:52were turned into a crater
08:53by a U.S. Reaper drone
08:54just outside Syria last month.
08:56This is all beyond cool,
09:00but, uh, why me?
09:02Have a look.
09:04Kadir Ghazmi,
09:05the biggest heroin trafficker
09:06in North Africa
09:07and a man you
09:08were incarcerated with
09:09in Paris.
09:10I would like for you to reconnect.
09:18You done?
09:19Almost.
09:21Hey, uh, can you believe...
09:22Ten more seconds.
09:24Right.
09:25Sorry, it's just...
09:33Okay.
09:34Yeah.
09:35It's not good.
09:36Okay.
09:37It's trying to please everyone.
09:40It's full of platitudes
09:41and cookie-cutter aphorisms.
09:43Ten to one,
09:44your writer just had AI take a run at it.
09:46You should fire them
09:47and just write it yourself.
09:49I'm not a speech writer.
09:50Will you take a pass?
09:51Uh, I mean,
09:53I'm flattered.
09:55But wouldn't your campaign manager
09:57have to sign off?
09:57I can't imagine
09:58they'd be thrilled
09:59that a community activist
10:00slash wild-eyed radical
10:02who believes in universal health care,
10:04basic income,
10:05and the inherent corruption
10:06of the justice system
10:07is who they want
10:09crafting your message.
10:10So more of a ghostwriter
10:11kind of thing.
10:13Look, will you at least
10:14write a few paragraphs
10:15just as a jumping-off point
10:16for the social justice
10:17section of the speech?
10:21All right,
10:21but I'm not going to hold back.
10:22I don't want you to.
10:24Famous last words.
10:26We have a thoracic trauma,
10:27GSW,
10:28below the right clavicle,
10:29BP 150 over 99.
10:31We have no exit wound.
10:32Advise the trauma surgeon,
10:33we have a penetrating
10:34GSW subclavicular
10:36going to OR3.
10:38You want a cartopine for both?
10:39Her BP is 145 over 95.
10:40Let's get her to OR4.
10:44What happened?
10:45Uh, a CI by the name
10:46of Salvador Arroyo
10:48attacked two sheriff's deputies.
10:49You know them?
10:50Yeah, Arroyo used to run
10:51with La Pesadilla,
10:52but they kicked him out
10:53for being too crazy.
10:54Too crazy for a narco gang.
10:55They're saying something.
10:56Any idea why he decided
10:57to shoot cops?
10:58No, they said it came
10:59out of the blue.
11:00Lucy and Selena
11:00stayed back at the scene.
11:02Yes, ma'am.
11:02Waiting on TID.
11:03Good, reach out to the gang unit.
11:05Make sure we have
11:05the current address
11:06on file for Arroyo.
11:07We need to get him
11:08off of the street ASAP.
11:09Yes, ma'am.
11:11Everything okay?
11:12No.
11:13A mom from Lila's school
11:14just texted,
11:15congrats on having
11:15a certified kidfluencer.
11:17What the hell is that?
11:18Hell if I know.
11:21Oh, uh, okay.
11:23It seems that my daughter
11:24has a secret Clip Talk account
11:26that has just reached
11:28a quarter of a million followers.
11:29I thought you said
11:30she was afraid of getting up
11:31in front of her class
11:32this morning.
11:32She was.
11:33Well, she's clearly
11:35not an introvert.
11:36Wearing a wire is too risky.
11:38Plus, you are not going in there
11:40to get evidence against Kadir.
11:41You're gonna go in there
11:42to do the guy a solid.
11:43I am.
11:44We have to assume
11:45that he knows you're a cop.
11:47But our belief is
11:49that you owe him something
11:51for keeping you alive in prison.
11:53Yeah, he looked out for me,
11:54for sure.
11:55How does one become friends
11:56with a major narcotics trafficker?
11:59We bonded over a mutual love
12:00for Les Microbies Les Silence.
12:02MBS.
12:03It's a Algerian hip-hop group.
12:05That's it?
12:06You like the same band?
12:07And because of my natural charm.
12:08Well, the plan is for you
12:10to lean into your desire
12:11to make things right by him.
12:12So, you're gonna warn him
12:13about an imminent
12:14law enforcement operation.
12:15Look, Kadir is a smart dude.
12:17Okay?
12:18And without any specifics,
12:19he's gonna get suspicious.
12:20That's why Agent Garza
12:21is going to burn
12:22an actual FBI investigation.
12:25Well, I can't imagine
12:27the narcotics division
12:28is happy about that.
12:29They're not.
12:29But, last week,
12:30I managed to convince
12:31the deputy director
12:32that getting years
12:33into this secret network
12:34is worth the pain,
12:35and they agreed.
12:36The FBI has infiltrated
12:37Kadir's New York operation
12:38and are poised to intercept
12:39a massive shipment landing
12:41in two days.
12:42You're going to
12:43put your career on the line
12:44by warning him about that.
12:45And once you do,
12:46we expect that he's gonna use
12:47the encrypted phone
12:48to warn New York.
12:49Right, but how does that help you?
12:51You guys already said
12:52that you can't tap
12:52or trace the million-dollar phone.
12:54It's not about
12:54tracing the call per se.
12:56It's about isolating
12:57the unique frequency range
12:58the phone uses.
12:59We do that,
13:00and I can trace those frequencies
13:01back to the server farm
13:02that controls the network.
13:08What?
13:09Hmm?
13:11Nothing.
13:12I...
13:14Hey,
13:15does this make sense to you?
13:17The scene?
13:18Yeah.
13:19Uh, I feel like
13:20I should say no.
13:21Only if you feel that way.
13:23Well, why don't you tell me
13:24why he feels wrong,
13:24and I'll check your math.
13:26Fair enough.
13:27Okay, so,
13:28first, the car outside.
13:29Why is it on the curb?
13:30Why is the door open?
13:31They thought they were coming here
13:32for a friendly meet
13:33with a CI.
13:34Well, cops park on the curb.
13:35All the time.
13:35But the open door
13:37is more troubling.
13:38Uh, maybe they
13:39left the door unlocked
13:40and Arroyo went through it afterwards.
13:42Yeah, maybe.
13:43But, okay,
13:44so then there's the crime scene, right?
13:45They came in the same way
13:46that we did,
13:47but then clearly
13:48they split up
13:49when they got into this room.
13:50Yeah, like we did.
13:51Which is how we found
13:52Colleen's blood over here,
13:54and Nolan found Ian
13:55all the way over there.
13:55I know, but why split up?
13:57It was a meet,
13:58not some hostile environment.
14:00Maybe he was using this meet
14:02as an opportunity
14:03to better train his rookie.
14:04You know, clear the space
14:05no matter what
14:06the expected threat level.
14:07Yeah, I mean,
14:08I guess that does make sense.
14:10Okay, so let's say
14:11that they did split up
14:12for legitimate safety reasons, right?
14:15And then Arroyo
14:16comes in from behind,
14:17opens fire, right?
14:18Now we're in a classic
14:19triangle position.
14:20We have Arroyo at the point,
14:21then we have Colleen
14:22and Ian opposite
14:24of each other.
14:29The blood spatter.
14:31Exactly.
14:32I mean,
14:33if she was supposed
14:34to be getting hit
14:35from over there,
14:36then the blood spatter
14:37would be behind her,
14:38but instead it's on the wall
14:39with the window as if...
14:40As if she was shot
14:41from her training officer's position.
14:44Oh, you think they're lying
14:46about what happened?
14:46I don't know.
14:47I don't know.
14:48It could be
14:49that the limited statements
14:50we got from two wounded officers
14:52were unclear
14:52and led to some
14:53wrong assumptions
14:54on my part,
14:55but we don't know for sure
14:56without the body cam footage
14:57and they did not engage them.
15:00We can't just take
15:01their word for it.
15:02They're cops.
15:04I wouldn't say
15:05any of this out loud
15:06until you are sure.
15:07No, I agree.
15:08So, I mean,
15:10yeah, so let's be sure.
15:11Excuse me.
15:12I'm busy.
15:13And soon to be busier.
15:14That's not what
15:15I need to be hearing right now.
15:17Hi.
15:18Sorry.
15:19Fighting a bit of anger.
15:20Shouldn't have skipped breakfast.
15:21Okay.
15:21Uh, I need a quick
15:23and thorough assessment
15:24at the scene.
15:25It's Noxie Moran
15:25quick and thorough.
15:26Well, no one's asking you
15:28to do a rush job,
15:29but two cops have been shot
15:31and their shooter is at large,
15:32so anything we can learn
15:33about what happened here
15:34will help us find him.
15:35Now, that means
15:36a diagram of bullet paths
15:37and blood spatter patterns
15:38plus rushed ballistics.
15:40Can you do that for us?
15:44And then reach out?
15:46Is this your cell phone?
15:55You call
15:56as soon as you have something.
15:58Mm-hmm.
15:59Thanks.
16:03Hmm.
16:06What?
16:08Oh, nothing.
16:09I think I just need
16:09to reassess your innocence.
16:12I'm just saying.
16:16According to the gang unit,
16:17the only person Salvador Arroyo
16:19ever loved was his mother.
16:20She died six months ago,
16:21and he goes to visit her grave
16:23every Wednesday.
16:27Adam-15 got a possible
16:29headed to the Royal Gravesite.
16:40We got him.
16:44Explain something to me.
16:45Why ambush two cops
16:46on the same day
16:47you have a standing appointment
16:48to visit the dearly departed?
16:50For executive function skills.
16:51Who's to say
16:51why psychopaths do anything?
16:53Fair enough.
16:53Then they ask me this.
16:54Given the guy's a psycho
16:55who's just shot two cops,
16:57why exactly don't we have
16:58a SWAT team charging him
16:59right now?
16:59Because we take care
17:00of our own business.
17:01And the element of surprise
17:03is often better
17:03than overwhelming force.
17:05Ever try to hide
17:05a SWAT team in a cemetery?
17:12Bueno.
17:13Que te cuento.
17:17Police!
17:18Get down on your stomach.
17:20Arms and legs spread.
17:24I said...
17:24I said get down
17:25on your stomach.
17:26Yeah.
17:26I heard you.
17:30But I'm not in the mood.
17:32This is sacred time.
17:33You got no right
17:34jamming me up here.
17:35What you did earlier
17:37made this necessary.
17:41All I did today
17:42was bump some Muglies
17:43and eat some cereal.
17:45But not necessarily
17:46in that order.
17:47Last chance.
17:47Get down on the ground
17:48or we will take you down.
17:54Looks like you aren't
17:55the only one with backup.
17:59Control sent three
18:00additional units
18:00to my location.
18:01Code three.
18:02You got a problem?
18:03Not if you get back
18:04on your bikes.
18:05You miss the fun
18:05of fighting cops?
18:06Seriously,
18:07you don't want to do that.
18:07Listen, I don't know
18:08what you guys
18:09are all worked up about,
18:10but today is not the day
18:12to mess with me.
18:12So either pack it up
18:13and get out of here
18:14or we're going to brawl.
18:18One, two, three, go!
18:19One, two, three, go!
18:39One, two, three, go!
18:43One, two, three, go!
18:46One, two, three, go!
18:54One, two, three, go!
18:55One, two, three, go!
18:56One, two, three, go!
18:59One, two, three, go!
19:04One, two, three, go!
19:04One, two, three, go!
19:06One, two, three, go!
19:07One, two, three, go!
19:07One, two, three, go!
19:08One, two, go!
19:09Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
19:19Remind me to not get in your backside!
19:39Hey, how's it going? Uh, here to see Mr. Cosme.
19:42He's not expecting me, but I was in the neighborhood, so...
19:50You really think the Jeopardy is minimal?
19:52Yes. Even if Kadir believes it's a trap, there's no upside in hurting the cop.
19:56And if we're wrong, the fast response team can be there in 30 seconds, so...
20:00Yeah.
20:02Maybe 60.
20:03Munami! What a wonderful surprise.
20:05Heard you were finally in L.A. Had to come through.
20:07I'm glad you did. You look good.
20:09Yeah.
20:10Please.
20:12So, what can I do for you?
20:14It cannot be a coincidence that I landed in Los Angeles a few days ago,
20:17and you show up on my doorstep.
20:19Look, I'm gonna be totally transparent with you, okay?
20:21You looked out for me when we were in prison, and I feel like I owe you.
20:25Munami, I told you you didn't.
20:26I know, but a man pays his debt.
20:28You kept the Algerians away from me, and you didn't ask for anything in return,
20:30so this is me repaying my debt.
20:32Well, I'm not gonna argue any further, but I'm not sure what you could do that would square us.
20:36I'm a man with few needs.
20:39Look, I know we didn't talk about your business in La SantƩ, but I heard the rumors.
20:44Mm-hmm.
20:44And now that I'm a cop, look, I'm jeopardizing my career even talking to you.
20:50Get to it, my friend.
20:52The FBI infiltrated your New York operations, and they're getting ready to intercept your latest shipment and make mass arrests.
20:59How do you know this?
21:00Because I was brought on as extra manpower last week in a joint LAPD-FBI task force.
21:05You know, nothing to do with narcotics, but while I was at the bureau, I overheard your name in the
21:09hallway,
21:10along with two lieutenants, Azir and Marwin.
21:13And it sounds like one of them might be talking to us.
21:15Just don't know who.
21:17And that's all I could find out without drawing any suspicion.
21:22Hey, thank you for looking out for me.
21:26Perhaps our path will cross again in the future, huh?
21:28You'll have to forgive me if I hope that they don't.
21:31For both our sakes.
21:40Okay, where do we go from here?
21:42Now I go to work.
21:43We spend every moment of every day being bombarded by signals we can't see.
21:48All of our cell phones, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices are constantly communicating with cell towers and satellites,
21:53sending data, searching for updates.
21:55Over the last few days, we've mapped all the signals going in and out of Kadir's mansion.
21:59Now we're looking for a new one, the million-dollar phone.
22:02We just need him to use it to make a call to New York.
22:05It's a simple question.
22:06Where were you this morning between 9 and 10?
22:09I told you.
22:10Uglies and cereal, right?
22:12Will your girlfriend attest to that?
22:14It wasn't my girlfriend that I was with.
22:17You start asking questions about her, my life gets messy.
22:20You are facing two charges of attempted murder.
22:22A jealous boyfriend is the least of your problems.
22:25Clearly, I'm not the guy you're looking for, because I don't attempt murder.
22:28I get it done.
22:30So whoever you're looking for, it ain't me.
22:33Let's put a pin in that admission.
22:35We have two witnesses who put you down on Southmire Street at the time of the shooting.
22:38They're lying.
22:39They're cops.
22:41Think that absolves them?
22:43Hell, cops lie more than most of the criminals I know.
22:45And who are the two that say that I'm the shooter?
22:48Ian Coleman and Colleen White.
22:50They're in surgery right now to remove the bullets that you put in them.
22:54Didn't happen.
22:55I haven't seen Coleman in a minute.
22:58But you know what?
23:00It doesn't surprise me that he's trying to pin this on me.
23:03I'm not saying he's dirty, but he ain't clean.
23:06Gotta be covering up some bad business he got into.
23:10Maybe with Little Miss Rookie.
23:12What does that mean?
23:13He likes to get the young, cute rookies under his wing
23:17and take him to that green motel off of Ocean Park.
23:20And from the looks of it, Colleen looked eager to play along.
23:26That's all I'm saying.
23:29Guys, Arroyo did an ambush then.
23:31How do you know?
23:32We don't know, but the facts are in line with Selena's statement.
23:36Nothing at the scene supports their story of being ambushed by another shooter.
23:39The only showcases we found were consistent with the two guns the deputies were firing.
23:43Right, and it's highly unlikely that Arroyo was packing a police-issued Glock or using an old-school revolver.
23:47He could have picked up his brass, which I admit seems out of character.
23:51And not supported by the physical evidence.
23:53Yeah.
23:53The number of empty shell casings corresponds exactly with the number of shots fired by the two deputies.
23:59You think they shot each other and they made up a story about an ambush?
24:02The blood evidence tells us they were shot 20 feet apart.
24:05Yeah, and the blood spatter angle only makes sense if they shot each other.
24:08Okay, but from what I remember, you found Colleen just a few feet from Ian.
24:11I think they got into an argument. Things got heated. She jumped out of the car.
24:15He gets out, chases her into the building, leaving the car door open.
24:19Once inside, things escalate. Shots are fired.
24:21Now they're wounded behind cover and they can hear the sound of sirens coming,
24:24so they make a truce and decide on the story.
24:28Picking the criminal, Coleman knew it forced us into a fight, hoping we'd kill him,
24:31which would end all the questions.
24:34Great work. Looks like we're going to the hospital.
24:36Right after we pick up a preteen from middle school and put the fear of God in her.
24:40Happy that.
24:43So, uh, what now?
24:46Oh, uh, we need you back at the lab. We need those ballistics back ASAP.
24:49Right. All right. Okay.
24:51Bye. Bye.
24:53This man's got a sledgehammer for a right hand.
24:56Guy made me run. You four busy?
24:58Depends. What are we volunteering for?
25:00Okay, listen up. This is a classic good news, bad news scenario.
25:03The good news is that thanks to the digital prowess of Agent Flores
25:06and the silky smooth persuasion skills of Officer Thorson,
25:09we've been able to isolate the unique frequencies used by an illicit phone network used by the top 0.1
25:13% of expert criminals.
25:15Now...
25:15The bad news is that the biggest concentration of those frequencies,
25:18which indicates the location of the server farm that controls the network, was traced to here.
25:22Now, clearly there's no visible server farm in the middle of the LA River, which means what, Officer Noah?
25:27Well, that the servers are underneath. Excavated, built in secret, probably using one of the surrounding buildings as an access
25:35point, most likely a warehouse.
25:38Okay. Well, how big of a construction project are you talking?
25:41Massive. And massively expensive. I'm sure they brought in one of the cartel's tunnel kings from Mexico to build it.
25:49Okay. Well, could you give us your best estimate as to which building might make the perfect access point?
25:53If I was to undertake a construction project of that scale in secret,
25:57I would target a facility that already housed construction equipment.
26:02That way, no one would blink twice at how many trucks were moving in and out of the site.
26:06Right, right, right.
26:10Bingo. Give this man a raise.
26:12I'd settle for a spot on the team.
26:16Obviously, you're going in.
26:17Yes, but not to raid the place.
26:19We need to be ghosts sneaking into the facility to plant the malware, which will then allow us to tap
26:23the network,
26:24and then we get the hell out of there without a trace.
26:25Well, then you're definitely gonna need me.
26:28Without blueprints, your entry team would be flying blind.
26:33Welcome to the app.
26:39Not only are you losing your phone privileges, you are losing your laptop, your TV, your Kindle, even the damn
26:45microwave.
26:45Anything with a screen.
26:47You are going to be living like a monk for the next month.
26:50You're not listening to me.
26:51I finally found something I'm good at.
26:53You want me to throw it away just because you watched too much Dateline?
26:55Oh, boy.
26:56Oh, oh, I haven't watched too much Dateline, okay?
26:59I have lived it.
27:00I have seen what happens firsthand to kids who have too much of an online presence, especially young girls.
27:07And I am not going to let my own daughter become a statistic.
27:12You sure you don't want me to dress?
27:13I'm fine.
27:14Second of all, you are good at plenty of things, the least of which is unboxing junk food and rating
27:19different flavors of lip gloss.
27:21Have you even watched my videos? Do you know how much effort I put into them?
27:25The edits, the graphics, the content, that's all me.
27:29Some people actually find it impressive.
27:31I mean, her tips on dressing for your color season are valuable.
27:34For the longest time I thought it was an autumn, but now I'm thinking that this is something she can
27:37dig into offline.
27:38Did you know that influencing is one of the few careers where women make more money than men?
27:42Oh, let me guess, the gender pay gap talking point worked real well on your dad?
27:48No, he doesn't know about the account either.
27:51Oh, so you have successfully lied to both of your parents. Wow, that makes me feel so much better.
27:57You know what? Now I'm wishing I did tell dad. Maybe he would actually listen to me.
28:04Why is my husband here?
28:09What's wrong?
28:09I need your advice. I asked James to help me with my speech and he basically has me advocating to
28:14dissolve the LAPD and empty the jails.
28:15I'm sure it's not that bad.
28:19You can't say that.
28:21I know.
28:21Hey, I'm here for a prisoner pickup.
28:24We will finish this conversation later.
28:26No, we won't.
28:28What?
28:30Hi.
28:31Hi.
28:31My husband has to talk to you about something.
28:35Good luck.
28:49That is a hell of a lot of security for a construction supply company.
28:53Yeah, just the right amount of security for the entrance of a half a billion dollar criminal enterprise.
28:57Yeah.
28:58Yes, sir.
28:59Mike, this is Officer John Nolan from the LAPD.
29:02He'll be joining you on the mission.
29:03Yes, sir.
29:03Mike Walker. Pleased to meet you.
29:05Likewise.
29:05I stole Mike away from SEAL Team 4.
29:07Technically, it was the ACL surgery that ended that ride.
29:10But Agent Garza was kind enough to offer me a job near my kids.
29:13Who else will be joining us?
29:14Officer Thorson and Elena, who despite my protestation successfully argued that her sole focus on the illicit phone network makes
29:20her the only quote-unquote badass ninja hacker qualified for the job.
29:24So, I'm sorry, excuse me just one second.
29:26Yeah.
29:28Hey.
29:28Hi.
29:29Just checking to see if you learned anything on the federal cop front or if you checked out the apartment
29:35link.
29:35Uh, no, not yet.
29:36It's been an epically crazy day, so.
29:38Well, I might have made a few calls.
29:41Yeah, Bailey.
29:41No, no, it's fine.
29:42I just put a couple feelers out and I'm waiting to hear back.
29:45But if you get time.
29:46I get it.
29:46I just, I really have to go right now.
29:48Okay?
29:50Garza, you got a second?
29:52Not really, but sure.
29:56Sorry.
29:57Um, Bailey is taking a job in D.C., Pentagon, and she wanted me to ask you about the viability
30:03of a move to the FBI.
30:05Something tells me you're not exactly excited about the idea.
30:08No, it's...
30:10I really love my job.
30:12I just am not thrilled about the idea of starting at the bottom again.
30:15Well, then my answer's gonna put you fierce arrest.
30:17The age cut off to join the FBI is 35.
30:20Oh.
30:20Unless you have other government experience.
30:22The same goes for all federal agencies.
30:24And even if age wasn't an obstacle, the odds of being assigned to D.C. right out of Quantico, non
30:29-existent, so.
30:30Sir.
30:30Yeah.
30:30Operation lights out.
30:32Ready at the staging area.
30:33Time for us to get in position.
30:34Copy that.
30:35John, is your head in the game?
30:38Yes, sir.
30:39Good.
30:39Let's get this thing done.
30:46Operation lights out in motion.
30:48Breed's team, get ready.
30:49Pursuit team will take out the transformer in three, two, one.
30:57Power's out.
30:58Power's out.
31:00The guards are distracted.
31:01The field is clear.
31:02Breed's team, go.
31:11Heads up.
31:12Four guards on your nine o'clock moving in to check on the accident.
31:14Ah.
31:38Heads up.
31:40How does he get here?
31:41Michaels, the mails, the ŠæŠ°Š»heim?
31:41Yes.
31:42Heads up if he was work at theoline, this man's just gonna work on the Was tank too.
31:42Heads up into this guy, man's just gonna move on.
31:44An Ted's dr day.
31:44No, I think he goes.
31:44Three guards are re-entering the warehouse.
31:49Got it.
31:56Alpha team descending to the stairwell.
31:58East corner looks to be about five levels down.
32:16Which way?
32:19L.A. River is...
32:21that way.
32:29Feels weird not having my gun out.
32:31Stealth is the whole point.
32:32We get into a firefight. The op is blown.
32:38That was some kind of accident on top.
32:41Guy getting chased by the cops. Who knows?
32:42That can't be one of them burning this place down.
32:45Nah, management's worried the network's been compromised.
32:47As soon as we upload the OS to Vegas,
32:49this place is getting nuked.
32:50And I hate Vegas. It's so hot.
32:52Not as hot as this place is gonna get in about nine minutes.
32:57Boss, we got a big problem.
32:59Kadir must have flagged our infiltration into his New York operation
33:02as a possible compromise of the phone network.
33:05They're bugging out after they upload the main operating system.
33:07Well, can't you plant them out work before they're done,
33:09ride the upload to the next server farm?
33:11I can try.
33:11We gotta move fast.
33:23Which way?
33:25There.
34:03That's not good. All the security cameras gonna be back online now.
34:05Alpha Team, we have a problem.
34:07I know. Power's back. Can you stay hidden until they all bug out?
34:10No. We just heard that they are going to nuke the place after the upload is finished.
34:14Not sure what that means, but it is meant to get very hot.
34:17You're screwed.
34:19No. No, I am not. Listen to me very carefully. We are gonna raid the place, okay?
34:23With any luck, they'll think that we're a step behind and that we got there too late to bug the
34:27upload.
34:27You just need to figure out a way to bypass all the cameras between there and the warehouse. Copy?
34:31Uh, that's impossible.
34:33I sent you for a reason, John. It's time to pull your weight.
34:35Done.
34:36Mission accomplished. Get your asses out of there. Now!
34:40What are you looking for?
34:41All these servers create a tremendous amount of heat.
34:43That hot air has to be vented as cold air is pumped in to replace it.
34:46The most efficient way to get rid of hot air is a straight line, straight up.
34:59Hello?
35:02Yeah.
35:03Change of plans. We're going in. Weapons up.
35:06Change of plans. We're going in.
35:13Boys! Show us your hands!
35:16Well, well, well, well!
35:25I was really hoping for an elevator.
35:27Guess we're gonna see how solid this ACL repair really is.
35:30Here, help me up.
35:31Get her on my back, zip tie her arms around my neck, and her feet in front of me.
35:36Get away from the vents!
35:38Get away from the vents!
35:53Get away from the vents!
35:57Start climbing!
36:06Okay.
36:18I'm good. I'm good.
36:19Okay. We got a call with it. Let him know where we are.
36:22Boss, the Alpha Team is in the warehouse.
36:26Uncle Matt, calms her down.
36:28We got to move. Leave her there.
36:30We'll get EMTs to pick her up once we secure the scene.
36:32Mike, you take point. Let's move.
36:41Get him out of here. We'll cover you.
36:47We can't stay here.
36:48Drop back.
36:49Help the others get out. I'll hold them up as long as I can.
36:51You sure?
36:52Yeah, go, go. I'm right behind you.
37:07Where's Helena?
37:09She took Mike to safety. He got shot.
37:12Where else is secure?
37:28How's my T.O. doing?
37:30The surgery was a success.
37:32His recovery process will be more challenging than yours, but he's going to pull through.
37:36You're both very lucky. I'll be back to check on you in a few.
38:08I know you're awake.
38:08Colleen, is she, is she okay?
38:10Let's cut the crap, shall we?
38:12Your story has holes big enough to drive a truck through.
38:14So, who wants to make a deal?
38:17I do.
38:18Wait, if anyone's going to get a deal, it's going to be me.
38:26They just took Mike into surgery, and the surgeon is confident he's going to pull through just fine, so...
38:30Thank God.
38:31Yeah.
38:32Well, I, for one, am not certain I can get up without making a sound unbecoming a law enforcement officer.
38:37Well, how would I go first?
38:39I'll give you some cover.
38:40You're a good man.
38:45Oh, man.
38:47The road ahead is not easy, but neither is the fight for justice.
38:52We have over-criminalized our communities, and we have made policing a catch-all for societal ills that is simply
38:59not equipped or trained to handle.
39:01So, I am announcing my candidacy for the district attorney of Los Angeles because I believe our justice system is
39:07fundamentally flawed,
39:08and that the prosecutor's office should play a primal role in fixing it.
39:14It was a good speech.
39:16And he should have talked about racial disparities in sentencing.
39:19But, yes, it was a good speech.
39:23Wait.
39:25I'll go start dinner.
39:28I am sorry.
39:30Wait, you're not mad anymore?
39:33No, I still am mad, but I could have handled it better.
39:36I could have listened.
39:36And I should have listened.
39:39And it occurs to me that the reason you didn't tell me in the first place is because you knew
39:42I wouldn't.
39:44Yeah.
39:45Okay, so I'm sorry.
39:49You want to tell me you're sorry, too?
39:51No.
39:53Okay, fine.
39:53I'm sorry that I didn't tell you, didn't ask you whether or not what I was doing was okay.
40:01So, does that mean I can keep doing it?
40:04How about this?
40:05We will sit down with a cyber security expert who will help make sure that you are being as safe
40:10as you can in this world full of predators.
40:13And if he's satisfied, then I guess I will be, too.
40:21I'm not moving to D.C.
40:24John.
40:25No, I...
40:27I've been playing along because I love you and I want you to be happy, but I can't tear my
40:32life apart here to do that.
40:34I'm not asking you to.
40:35Yeah, you are.
40:37And I keep wondering, why isn't our life here together enough for you?
40:41I didn't realize you were so mad.
40:44Neither did I.
40:46It's not that it's not enough for me.
40:49I just want to go do this.
40:52But why?
40:53And don't say it's because the job is cool, because so is being a firefighter and a soldier and all
40:57the other things you do in your spare time.
40:59Well, something tells me you already think you have the answer to this.
41:02I think you have a pathological need for movement.
41:06Pathological?
41:07Yeah.
41:08And we have joked about it, about how you can't sit still and how a day off for you means
41:13doing six different projects, and I thought it was cute, but it's not.
41:17What are you afraid will happen if you stop moving, if you let yourself be happy with what you have
41:24and where you are?
41:25Nothing.
41:26I am happy.
41:27I just got excited to go do this job.
41:30Why are you blowing it all up like this?
41:32I'm trying to save our marriage.
41:35I didn't realize it was in jeopardy.
41:39Bailey.
41:47Don't hang up.
41:49This isn't a trap.
41:50It's me going rogue.
41:52Tell your boss the secure phone network is no longer secure.
41:58Federal ears are listening.
42:00Now, if he's smart, he won't tell anyone and take advantage of the power vacuum that's coming.
42:06No.
42:08This piece of information is free of charge.
42:12But what comes next, that's going to cost a fortune.
42:15No.
42:17No.
42:21No.
42:22No.
42:23No.
42:25No.
42:43True.
42:58Damn it.
