00:01Previously on The Rookie.
00:02Detective Harper, did you tell my client,
00:04I will find a way to hang these murders around your neck and lock you away forever?
00:08As an officer of the court, I have no choice but to report your conduct with Glasser to internal affairs.
00:16You should go to D.C.
00:17John.
00:18No, I mean it.
00:19We are strong enough to navigate the separation, and you really want it.
00:247 Adam 15 and Adam 300 to monitor.
00:271067 in the alley at 4th and Cole.
00:30Woman covered in blood, pounding on doors.
00:417 Adam 15, code 6.
00:47Any more information from that 911 call?
00:50No, just a bloody woman in distress.
01:06You guys, we got blood here.
01:10Adam 300, requesting additional units.
01:12Copy that, Adam 300. Additional units in row.
01:17Pulling your way
01:21Through the night
01:30No!
01:31Easy.
01:32Easy.
01:33Got you.
01:34Get the med kit.
01:35Request RA, female victim, multiple stab wounds.
01:38You'll be all right.
01:38You have an ambulance on the way.
01:44Jordan.
01:45Jordan?
01:45Is that who hurt you?
01:52No, you're a man.
01:53I'm your man.
01:55I'm your man.
01:56I'm your man.
01:57I'm your man.
01:57Adam 300.
01:58Be advised, that man in the vault.
02:01You're me hydrated.
02:20Control, we have another victim in a van.
02:45Hey, I'm sorry for inviting myself over like this.
02:48No, no, no, no. James has the school run this morning, so I'm all good.
02:53Show me.
02:55So, Jordan Sharp, Courtney Sutton. Best friends since Palm's Middle School.
02:59No criminal records, no fixed address.
03:01Jordan's parents say that they were taking a year off to do the whole van life thing,
03:05trying to chart a path post-college.
03:06Is there an early theory on why they were brutalized?
03:08According to Border Control, they were going back and forth to Baja, Mexico,
03:12six times just this year.
03:14So, drug mules.
03:15Yeah.
03:16Pretty girls with clean records, that is a cartel's dream.
03:19Border Patrol just waves them through.
03:21Yeah, I mean, young women like this with the confidence to just go out into the world
03:25and deal with whatever it hands them, they're usually pretty naive about the world.
03:29I know I was.
03:30Hold up.
03:31You were hashtag van life.
03:33I dropped out of grad school and took a little bit of time to find myself.
03:38I spent nine months showering outdoors and eating roadside burritos.
03:41Oh, okay.
03:41We are going to put a pin in that conversation.
03:43Any clue on who they could be mewling for?
03:46You know, their social media posts, um, where is it?
03:50Yeah, okay.
03:51It said that they spent a lot of time in Scorpion Bay.
03:53That is Costa Sangres' territory.
03:56Well, that explains the brutality of the murders.
03:59The cartel was trying to send a message.
04:01I mean, but why?
04:02It could be a dozen reasons.
04:03They screwed up.
04:04They stole.
04:04They were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
04:07My love, defensive wounds like this, they fought like hell to survive.
04:12I mean, the last thing Courtney did was try to just get her friend help.
04:17I know they made mistakes, but they did not deserve to die like this.
04:20This is crazy.
04:20No, they didn't.
04:23I want in on this.
04:25Yeah?
04:28And you charged your headphones?
04:29Yes.
04:29And you remembered to pack everything?
04:31Yep.
04:32Your night guard?
04:32Nope.
04:33Oh, gosh.
04:37And contact lens solution.
04:39Dang it!
04:42How did you know exactly what I'd forget?
04:45You've never once remembered in all our travels.
04:47Really?
04:48Yeah, I've learned to ask for a contact lens solution in four languages.
04:51Are you going to do okay?
04:53I'm fine.
04:54We are going to be fine.
04:56We're going to be better than fine.
04:58This is a trial run.
05:00It's five days.
05:01I'm going to go look for an apartment, meet the new team.
05:03I'm not moving, moving until the end of the month.
05:08Oh, the car is here.
05:10I got to go.
05:11I love you.
05:12I love you.
05:15Go.
05:16Okay.
05:18Bye.
05:18Bye.
05:25Now, it's a non-starter.
05:26Look, you want to call down the wrath of God and Costa Sangre in L.A.?
05:29I'm all in.
05:30But an undercover op with Lucy in Mexico?
05:32Forget it.
05:32We got no jurisdiction.
05:33TID found a cigarette pack in the weeds under the van.
05:37Mexican packaging.
05:38And the girls don't smoke.
05:39Finding a pack of Mexican cigarettes in L.A. is not out of the ordinary.
05:42Yeah, but there are other key forensics that also point to Mexico.
05:45And the murders were gruesome, even for the cartel.
05:48If that was done by a local, the streets would be buzzing.
05:50And I have heard nothing.
05:53I don't need your buy-in.
05:55I need your support to go to Gray.
05:58I hear the Monica task force is targeting Costa Sangre's boss, Rogelio Zambada.
06:02Those women were low-level drug mules.
06:04You're going to have to climb two miles of food chain to get to Zambada.
06:07And why isn't Lucy here with you, pushing for this?
06:10She wants this approved on its merits.
06:12Without the girlfriend factor.
06:13But she will use it if you say no to me.
06:17Have you heard back from I.A.?
06:20I got my notice of intent, but the hearing has not been scheduled.
06:23And if you are implying that I am using this as a way to delay my showdown with internal affairs,
06:30then...
06:30No, I'm wondering why you're spearheading a mission when you made it very clear over the last four years
06:34that you were done with long-term undercover work after it pretty much destroyed your life.
06:39When I was working undercover with the cartels, I knew so many girls that either ended up missing or dead.
06:46And nobody cared.
06:47If I.A. takes my badge, at least I know that I spent the last of my time here trying
06:52to get justice for these two women.
06:57Okay. That's my answer.
07:00So you'll support us going to the task force?
07:02Yeah.
07:03And?
07:04And I will find the resources to cover it.
07:06But none of this matters if Gray says...
07:08No.
07:09Zimbab is not a front burner target.
07:10And even if I believe that you had a shot of getting close to him, Garza's not going to divert
07:15focus from our current targets.
07:17He will if you ask him, sir.
07:19If you don't say yes, we both know that these murders will go unsolved.
07:24Careful, Sergeant.
07:25I've seen plenty of tragedy on this job.
07:27I don't need a lecture on justice.
07:32With all due respect, sir, I...
07:37You've never been these girls.
07:39You have never experienced the particular type of pain and fear that they went through.
07:44How brave they had to be to go out into the world knowing how treacherous it is simply because they're
07:48female.
07:49And yeah, how that bravery and naivety caused them to be vulnerable to the cartel.
07:54I'm not excusing their criminality.
07:57I just...
07:59It shouldn't have cost them their lives.
08:03When you're looking back on your deathbed, you...
08:07No.
08:08Sorry.
08:10Sir, the politics and the bureaucracy of this will not matter.
08:14What will matter is that you stood up for these women.
08:23Well, so much for not lecturing me.
08:26Okay.
08:27Let's say I'm on board.
08:28What's this going to cost the task force?
08:30Very little.
08:31Tim can get us the funding and the physical resources.
08:34The only thing we need is one FBI agent to give the op legitimacy with the Mexican government.
08:38Preferably someone who speaks Spanish.
08:47What?
08:47So Bailey on her way to D.C.?
08:49Yeah.
08:50Her flight left 20 minutes ago.
08:51So you won't mind if I loan you to Lopez for a surveillance assignment?
08:54No, whatever she needs.
08:55We're good.
08:56You want to fill them in?
08:57Sure.
08:59Man of the hour is Keyshawn DeMarco, otherwise known as Hamster, but don't let the cute nickname
09:04fool you.
09:05Keyshawn has an affinity for brute force trauma that he's parlayed into a growing leg-breaking
09:09business.
09:10Last week, you saw the two witnesses in a RICO case I'm trying.
09:13Almost caused a mistrial.
09:14We have a warrant for his arrest, but he's gone off the grid.
09:16I got round-the-clock surveillance authorized on several of his haunts.
09:19I need you and your rookie to post up outside his baby mama's house, Kennedy Stowe.
09:25Whoa.
09:26Try not to let the impressive front porch distract you from the fact that Kennedy threw a classmate
09:30through a window in high school.
09:32She's hot and dangerous.
09:33Officer Penn, this assignment could last until you're scheduled to graduate the FTO program.
09:37You'll be under a microscope until it's complete.
09:39Yes, sir.
09:40I won't let you down.
09:48Six hours.
09:49No one's coming or out.
09:50Well, if Hamster was easy to find, Lopez wouldn't have half the station on it.
09:58You know, quit looking for the hot mama sighting, and why did you focus a little bit?
10:03We'll give your eyes a rest, and you'll learn about the neighborhood.
10:10It's a roll call.
10:11It looks like random letters and numbers, but it's a list of gang members.
10:15The numbers stand for letters in the alphabet.
10:17Exactly.
10:18Simple code, but it can give you a lot of information.
10:21Most of the numbers up there are 14 and 2.
10:2414 for N, and 2 for B means no whole boys.
10:28Hamster's gang.
10:29Exactly.
10:29It means he feels safe here.
10:31He feels he's amongst friends.
10:32So I'll be back.
10:36And Sugar Land are new things.
10:40Like if you saw Misty Foreman packing up the kids to take to her mother's,
10:44I mean, her husband Carl was dealing again.
10:47But it's different here.
10:49Something's going on at once.
10:51I feel like I'm running behind.
10:54I keep thinking I should hit some neighborhood hangouts in my off hours.
10:57You know, keep a low profile and get a better feel for what's going on.
11:01Okay, that's a bad idea.
11:02Not only is it inherently unsafe, but it's against regulations.
11:05Don't go policing in your off-duty hours.
11:09All right.
11:11We'll leave us here.
11:12I'll do a deep dive into the Noho boy database tonight.
11:15Great.
11:15I'm going to make cheesesteak and watch Commando.
11:18Two things Bailey hates.
11:20El Mezquitel campsite.
11:22This is where Courtney and Jordan spent their time in Baja.
11:25I pulled previous satellite imagery for the last six months.
11:28There's obviously a lot of camper turnover, but a few of the vehicles have been there the whole time.
11:32Understood.
11:34Receipts from Jordan's van show that they bought Ozempic from a local farmacia and sold it across the border for
11:39a hefty profit.
11:39We think this is how the cartel targeted them as potential mules.
11:43So we'll follow in their footsteps.
11:44Hopefully they'll see us as equally easy targets.
11:46Great.
11:46Let's talk undercover personas.
11:48The Bureau of Cyber Unit has the ability to launch social media pages for each of you that appear to
11:53go back over several years.
11:54And they will hold up to a metadata check?
11:56Yeah.
11:57Score.
11:58All right.
11:58So I have one.
11:59My name is Shia Sun, but I go by Shia.
12:02I was born in Chicago.
12:04I went to Kansas City Art Institute where I got a degree in fiber arts.
12:18I sold a couple of pieces, but I realized that there wasn't much money to be had in textile sculpture.
12:24I met the love of my life two years ago, and we've been joined at the hip ever since.
12:29And I am that love of her life, Avery Reed.
12:32I was raised in Alaska, but hated every frigid moment of it.
12:36So I left and went to California at the age of 18 and never looked back.
13:01Surfing is my passion.
13:03I work odd jobs, but never really wanted a career.
13:06I just want enough cash to chase the endless summer.
13:14It'll be four weeks.
13:17Minimum.
13:18I don't know.
13:19You just moved in.
13:21It's like you're already moving out.
13:22You could think of it as an excuse to play your video games at full volume all weekend.
13:28Okay.
13:29You make my life sound so empty.
13:31No, no, no, no.
13:32Okay, okay.
13:32How about this?
13:34The longer I'm gone, the happier you'll be when I come back.
13:46Hey, sweetie.
13:47Mommy's got to go now.
13:49Okay.
13:50Leah.
13:51Yes?
13:52Remember, Mommy said I was going to have to leave for a little while.
13:55You'll be back?
13:56I will be back, yes, as soon as I can, okay?
13:59Okay.
14:00I love you.
14:04Mommy, would you please?
14:07Okay.
14:11What are you trying?
14:12One.
14:15Hey.
14:17I hate that Vanna's guest up and ready to go.
14:21Okay, let's do this.
14:23I'll let you guys say goodbye.
14:30I want you to know it is a tribute to your excellent mothering that she is so secure.
14:37Okay.
14:38You got this.
14:39Okay.
14:39Come on.
14:40I love you.
14:41I love you.
14:42I love you, too.
14:46All right, come on.
14:55I know.
14:55I know.
14:58It'll be worth it.
14:59Okay.
15:02You ready?
15:03Yeah.
15:13Lord, I wish we had something to do out here.
15:15You keep drinking all that coffee, you'll have something to do, all right.
15:19Why are you so tired, anyway?
15:21I've been up nights, studying, trying to get inside, hamster the world.
15:27This could be him.
15:31Set around 15 possible suspect sighting.
15:34Sent back up to 3200 Falk Drive.
15:40That's him.
15:41Let me get inside.
15:43Carp!
15:44Why?
15:45Stop!
15:46I'm going to tell the PD!
15:47Enjoy it!
15:50Set 1150.
15:51Foot in field for pursuit.
15:52Eastbound over fence.
15:53Spine 3200 Falk Drive.
15:55Suspect all in black.
16:07Suspect heading south towards Santa Monica Boulevard.
16:09In!
16:12Eastbound over fence.
16:14Eastbound over fence.
16:15Eastbound over fence.
16:22Eastbound over fence.
16:25Eastbound over fence.
16:28Eastbound over fence.
16:29Eastbound over fence.
16:33Eastbound over fence.
16:35Eastbound over fence.
16:37Eastbound over fence.
16:39Eastbound over fence.
16:44Where'd he go?
16:45How the hell should I know?
16:46You're the one who had eyes on him.
16:47I don't know how I lost him.
16:48He was right in front of me, didn't I?
16:49Why did you go in after him?
16:51You should have just held the perimeter on the backside.
16:53No, I'm sorry.
16:54I'm sorry.
16:54All right, Jen, you guys, backtrack where we came from.
16:56See if you can track him down.
16:58You guys circle around the backside of the building.
16:59I'm going to wait out here on the front.
17:00I said that at 15.
17:01We're code four.
17:02Suspect unaccounted for.
17:03Get in the car, Bubbles.
17:08Forget police tactics.
17:09It's a failure of common sense.
17:11Yes, sir.
17:12There's no excuse.
17:13Maybe if you hadn't been burning the midnight oil
17:15playing NoHo Ketchup, you could have focused better.
17:18And now Hamster knows we're up in his spots.
17:20He's going to burrow deeper underground.
17:22I should ask Harper to keep an eye out for him
17:24in case he makes a run for Mexico.
17:35Man, I used to love this.
17:37Heading into the great unknown
17:39after I bailed on grad school,
17:41suddenly it was like anything could happen.
17:42Life is just pure possibility.
17:45Why did you drop out?
17:49Okay, so one day I was talking to a professor
17:52about career paths,
17:53and suddenly my heart just started beating so fast
17:56I couldn't breathe.
17:57I had no idea what was going on.
17:59You were having a panic attack.
18:00It felt like somebody had turned the lights on,
18:03and I could see all of my choices in this entire chain.
18:07And at the start, my parents were just acting like
18:09if I didn't get an advanced degree,
18:11I would end up homeless.
18:12So two Dr. Chans weren't enough?
18:14They wanted three?
18:15Five, actually.
18:16My dad's parents were doctors, too.
18:18Really?
18:19Anyways, that panic attack made me realize
18:21that I hadn't ever really made a choice for myself.
18:24I was just always doing what they wanted,
18:26so yeah, I bailed.
18:29Yeah, you know, I had issues with my parents,
18:31but they always only ever wanted me to be me.
18:34And all I wanted was to be a cop.
18:40You know, Nyla, I know about the I.A. investigation.
18:45If you want to.
18:47Yeah, that is Nyla's business.
18:49You know what Avery is focused on?
18:52Six swells and cold beers.
18:54Yes.
18:56And finding the next song
18:57in our perfect road trip playlist.
18:59Ooh.
19:15You ready, Avery?
19:17Ready, Shy.
19:21Oh, wow.
19:23So nice here.
19:25Why haven't we come here before?
19:27Hey, new faces.
19:28I like it.
19:29I'm Chase.
19:30Hi, Avery.
19:32She's Shy.
19:33Shy?
19:34Hope not.
19:36Hey, what brings you to Baja?
19:38Um, hello.
19:39I mean, it's gorgeous.
19:42I thought you said we'll be able to hear him.
19:44One sec.
19:45Shocker and Lake needs fine-tuning.
19:47We came to the right place.
19:48Perfect beach, babe.
19:49Do you, sir?
19:50Yeah, mostly I fall.
19:53But keep trying, though.
19:54War is checking.
19:55You know, when I volunteered for this,
19:57I thought I was going to be Nolan and Bailey in Prague.
20:00Not me in a ditch fighting a losing battle
20:03against bugs and snakes.
20:06Yeah, well, you should have read the fine print.
20:08Yeah.
20:09So anyway, it's a pretty chill group.
20:11But if anyone gives you trouble, just let me know.
20:13We will.
20:15Oh, we do a drum circle by the fire every night.
20:17You should join.
20:18Great.
20:22That sounds fun.
20:23Really.
20:24I mean, for Avery.
20:25You're going to hate it.
20:26Yeah, I am.
20:32Dude, I am too close to graduation to mess up this badly.
20:35I gotta make it right.
20:37By doubling down on your screw-up?
20:40Trust me.
20:40I am the poster child for that kind of behavior.
20:44And that, that is the wrong way to go.
20:47Just own your mistake.
20:50Save going rogue until it's harder to get fired for it.
20:52Rogue?
20:53It's not going rogue.
20:54I mean, it's kind of going rogue.
20:55It's just some unpaid OT watching a baby mama all night.
20:58What's in it for me?
20:59Other than the satisfaction of helping a friend?
21:02Okay.
21:02If something comes from it, I'll cut you in on the credit.
21:05It'll help smooth your path back into the FTO program.
21:08And, uh, what if it all goes wrong?
21:11Then you'll never do it.
21:12Easy.
21:16Okay.
21:17Cheers.
21:18Cheers.
21:29That's the house.
21:30You really think this guy Hamster's going to be coming back?
21:33Nope.
21:33And I'm hoping she'll get a late-night booty call and lead us straight to him.
21:44Hang that dream up to dry.
21:50Get those streams up or die.
21:57Giddy up now.
21:59We gotta go.
22:00We're close to you now.
22:18I can't sleep.
22:19Yeah, me neither.
22:20You did this for fun for nine months.
22:23Uh, worse.
22:23I lived in a hatchback, so I actually had to pitch a tent every single night.
22:29Yeah, James wants to go on a family camping trip, and I am just not sure that our marriage
22:33can survive that.
22:34Well, after everything you guys went through last year, I feel like you guys are pretty battle-tested.
22:39Yeah.
22:40You know, I was still scared to tell James that I screwed up so badly with the Glasser case.
22:47Did he lecture you about policing?
22:49No, worse.
22:51He was completely on my side.
22:52Me, you wanted to fight?
22:55Jeez.
22:56You know, it's easier to defend yourself if you're being attacked, but there is no defending,
23:01telling someone you're going to hang the case around their neck when you have no evidence.
23:07And I'm like, he's a serial killer.
23:09Yeah, and he might get away with it, because I let my emotions get in the way.
23:15Wesley's got this.
23:16Oh.
23:18Glasser's going to prison for a very long time.
23:21I hope so.
23:31You actually do look like you know what you're doing, and you would be really good at this.
23:39Who is this guy?
23:42You know, I might keep my Etsy shop open when this is done.
23:46I think jewelry making is good for my mental health.
23:49Well, it looks like we might have a nibble.
23:51Hola, pretty ladies.
23:54Como estas?
23:56Bien, bien.
23:57Your girls are new at the campsite, right?
23:58Are you just getting this?
24:00I am named Shia.
24:02I don't recognize them from the campsite.
24:04Shia.
24:04It's a big cartel.
24:05Yeah, it's short for Shia.
24:08Sorry, it's Chinese.
24:09Cool.
24:11This jewelry is beautiful.
24:13Do you sell those?
24:14Mostly up north.
24:15There's a farmer's market in Malibu.
24:17Lots of rich people out there to buy from you, right?
24:19Yeah.
24:22Rafael Rafa Navarro, mid-level lieutenant for Costa Sangre.
24:27Did I see you girls last week at the Farmacia in town?
24:31It's possible we were over there.
24:34Huh.
24:34Maybe jewelry is not the only thing you sell to reach ladies in Malibu.
24:40Listen, we're not doing anything wrong.
24:42No, of course not.
24:43We're all allowed training a living, right?
24:44It's your time, your effort, your ability to buy cheap or something here and sell it for
24:49three times as much in the States.
24:52Look, to be honest, I do the same thing.
24:55I mean, come on, everyone here does it.
24:59Only that I can make it across the border this week.
25:05Would you girls be interested in taking my shopping with you?
25:09Come on, I can even have a friend meet you to collect the pharma.
25:12I don't know.
25:13I mean, we just do it to afford our lifestyle, you know?
25:16Of course, yes.
25:16And I'll be more than happy to contribute.
25:19Let's say $1,500 U.S.
25:24Hmm?
25:25Come on.
25:28We could get that laser welder.
25:30Yeah?
25:33Yeah.
25:33Yeah.
25:35Okay.
25:37Excellent, excellent.
25:41See, I told you.
25:43Nothing illegal, just some local low-priced medicine to resolve.
25:47There is a number in the box.
25:48Just call it when you land in Los Angeles and my friend come pick it up.
25:54Bye, girls.
25:56Hey.
25:59Did you see the...
26:01Cigarettes?
26:01Yeah.
26:02You think he's the one that killed Jordan and Courtney?
26:05Could be.
26:06Maybe they tried to break free, but he couldn't take the risk.
26:09They told someone and blew up his whole operation.
26:12All right, let's get moving.
26:13We'll coordinate the handoff surveillance with Tim on the way.
26:16I have an insomnia that doesn't break me.
26:19I just take care of nothing.
26:21I don't care.
26:21I have an insomnia since I turned on the TV.
26:24Nothing new.
26:24The news changes out of my control.
26:26A thousand buttons.
26:27I put the same channel again.
26:28With the same smiley girl.
26:30I suppose that I'm always going to sleep.
26:31Simplemente ya debo matarla.
26:38Not a word.
26:39I would never.
26:41Oh, but Tim?
26:45I hate you.
26:46I know.
26:51This is Elphi, you in there, landing.
26:53Copy.
26:53Harper and Lucy are landing.
27:02Here we go.
27:06They're being filmed in the blue SUV.
27:09Copy.
27:10Alpha unit says the swap's being filmed by the blue SUV.
27:14Silver sedan is exiting the parking lot.
27:16Follow units.
27:16They're all yours.
27:23Welcome to Astro Burger.
27:24Can I take your order?
27:25No, but I've got something else you can take.
27:28I'm a sucker for a man in uniform.
27:30Easy.
27:30Go on to the guys that you gave Rafa's drugs to and the blue car recording the exchange.
27:34To blackmail us.
27:35That means we'll be making the trip for the hardcore drugs next.
27:38Any clarity on who killed Jordan and Courtney?
27:40Maybe.
27:42Our cartel contacts amongst the brand we found at the murder scene.
27:45That's pretty weak.
27:46Yeah, I know.
27:48All right, back to it.
27:49That'll be 1070.
27:54See you soon.
27:55I'll be here.
28:03Miles.
28:04Oh.
28:05It's been two weeks, man.
28:07How much longer are we going to do this?
28:09You're already going above and beyond.
28:12You can tap out of your town.
28:14I'm not going to leave you out here alone.
28:17But this is going to be last night.
28:20Dude, you're exhausted.
28:22You're pulling double duty.
28:23The last thing that you want to have happen is things go sideways on the job because you're a zombie.
28:30You're right.
28:32And I appreciate you for looking out.
28:34Don't get me wrong.
28:36This has been really fun.
28:38And feeling relevant again in the whole thing.
28:42That being said, I got to pee.
28:43You want anything from 7-Eleven?
28:44God, no.
28:56Come on, man.
28:57Where you at?
29:06You spying on my girl?
29:09No, man.
29:10I'm just, uh, looking for bats.
29:13But it's not a problem.
29:14I'll just dip.
29:15Who dumb do you think I am?
29:17They're the cop that chased me through the car wash.
29:19Get your ass out.
29:21Reach for a piece.
29:22They'll be picking brains out of your poultry for weeks.
29:24All right.
29:24All right.
29:31Where's your gun?
29:32It's under my jacket.
29:34Take it off the holster.
29:35Load it into the gutter.
29:36Carefully.
29:37I can't leave a loaded gun on the street.
29:40It's dead.
29:40I'll leave it there attached to your dead body.
29:47Now your phone.
29:54We're gonna go for a little ride.
29:56What are you doing?
29:58Getting rid of your problem.
29:59You can't kill a cop.
30:00Is he really dead if he never found a body?
30:02Baby, you just can't.
30:03This is crazy.
30:04This is crazy.
30:05Stop arguing.
30:07I'll be telling you for weeks.
30:19Seth, what's going on?
30:20Miles is in trouble.
30:22Where is he?
30:23Outside of Kennedy's house.
30:24Jameson came back and he's got Miles.
30:26What is he doing at Kennedy's house?
30:28What are you doing there?
30:29I...
30:29Never mind.
30:30Just...
30:31I'm on my way.
30:32Do not engage.
30:35911, what's your emergency?
30:36This is Officer John Nolan.
30:38I'm calling to report a kidnapping in progress.
30:40Go back in the house, girl.
30:41You're calling me out here.
30:42What do you think was gonna happen?
30:43Baby, this is crazy.
30:44Stop arguing.
30:45I'll call you in a couple weeks when the heat dies down.
30:48Give me a kiss.
30:55You got your cuffs on you?
30:58Yeah.
30:58Cuff yourself.
31:01Be smart here, Keyshawn.
31:03Killing a cop ain't it.
31:04Get in.
31:04Slide across.
31:05Say another word.
31:06I knock out your fronts.
31:13Are you wearing something, then?
31:14Let's go.
31:50Okay, you got him?
31:51The baby mama's in on it.
31:52Let's get you out of here.
31:59You okay?
32:00Hey, man, you saved my life.
32:01What a problem, man.
32:02In our unit, the in-progress kidnapping, we're code four.
32:06You all right?
32:06He got his bell rung. Nothing life's ready.
32:08Good. I don't have to wait to yell at him.
32:11Sir, I...
32:12Now, shut up.
32:12You were doing off-the-book surveillance on a violent felon,
32:15and you brought Ridley? A civilian?
32:16No one's talking to you.
32:18Go to the hospital, get checked out.
32:20When you're finished, you get back to the station
32:22and clean out your locker. You're done.
32:26What were you thinking?
32:53Hey, that was a quick turnaround.
32:55No, when paradise calls.
32:57Baja's like a siren song. That's what I always say.
33:00And I am back in the ditch.
33:05How long do you think before Rafa makes contact again?
33:07A day or two.
33:09Or now.
33:11Heads up.
33:13Yeah, I see him.
33:16Hey, um, don't watch out for that guy. Bad news.
33:20Hey, take a walk.
33:21Gotta talk to the girls. No problem.
33:25Come on, girls. Go.
33:29Welcome back.
33:30Hmm? Any trouble?
33:32No, it's good.
33:34Glad to hear it.
33:36I need you to make another run.
33:38Right now, in a bigger package.
33:41Um, thanks, but no thanks.
33:43That was a one-time thing. I mean, we're set now.
33:46Wrong.
33:47Unless you want LAPD to see this,
33:49the girls work for me now.
33:51You wouldn't do that.
33:52Those are your men.
33:53Very expandable.
33:54Got a dozen more waiting in the wings.
33:57No, we can't.
33:59It's no different the last time
34:01you'll get waved through the border
34:02and meet my guys in L.A.
34:03Okay, but there has to be a better way.
34:05No, no, there's no better way.
34:07There's no other way.
34:08Open up the back.
34:11Look at this.
34:12Remember how I said there were a few vehicles
34:13that never left the campsite?
34:15When we landed here,
34:16I asked border control to run all the license plates,
34:18and Rafa didn't kill the girls.
34:21This was taken three hours
34:22after we found Jordan and Courtney's bodies.
34:24Chase was crossing back into Mexico.
34:26All right, you know what?
34:27That's enough.
34:28Get your ass in gear.
34:29We're gonna follow you to the border
34:30to make sure you don't chicken out.
34:33What are you doing?
34:34I'm talking to you.
34:35Hi, Dad.
34:36I, um...
34:37Daughter.
34:37Chase killed Jordan and Courtney.
34:40How do you want to play this?
34:41Give me a minute.
34:44Let me just talk to my girlfriend for one second,
34:47and we will go after that, okay?
34:50Hey!
34:54Chase killed the girls.
34:56What?
34:56He must be working for a cartel.
34:58Maybe Rafa.
35:00I say we hold on arresting him
35:03and make the drug run to L.A.
35:05What?
35:05No, no.
35:06This is major weight,
35:07which will make for a bigger arrest on the other side.
35:10No, Nyla.
35:12The whole point of us coming down here
35:14was to get those two women justice.
35:16It is the only thing that matters.
35:18Right?
35:19You're right.
35:20You're right.
35:22I'm sorry.
35:22No, don't apologize, Zach.
35:24I got you.
35:25Okay?
35:27Come on.
35:28Hey, let's go.
35:29Hurry up.
35:30Sorry.
35:30Yeah.
35:31Okay.
35:32Yeah.
35:32Selena, we are closing the door.
35:33I hope you are ready.
35:34I can't do this.
35:35I'm sorry.
35:36Come on.
35:36Please.
35:37And I'm out of the ditch.
35:47Police!
35:48Get on the ground!
35:49Policia!
35:50Maloca arriba!
35:51Policia!
35:52Put your hands on your head.
36:00Wow.
36:00That was unexpected.
36:02Yeah?
36:03You like that?
36:04Yeah, you're going to love this.
36:05Get your hands up on that van right now.
36:06What?
36:07Chase, you are under arrest for the murder of Jordan Sharp and Courtney Sutton.
36:10What?
36:10What?
36:11You think we're here just to amuse ourselves with the local drug trade?
36:14We're here to get justice for the two women that you murdered.
36:17Wait, hold on.
36:18Arms behind your back.
36:19I didn't kill anyone.
36:20The crew, I...
36:21The crew, you what?
36:24I'm just a spotter for a rival gang.
36:26I tell them when Costa Sondra is moving a big package into L.A. and they steal it.
36:29I never leave this beach.
36:30He's lying.
36:31We have you on camera at the border coming to Mexico from their murders with blood on you.
36:41They should have just let us rob them.
36:44They fought back, ripped my mask off.
36:46I didn't want to do it, but I didn't have a choice.
36:47They'd have given me up.
36:53Don't look at me.
36:54Don't look at me.
36:55Can somebody get him out of here?
37:12I'm sorry.
37:14No need.
37:17You're and Elena have it handled.
37:19Yeah.
37:20We can just hang out here, watch the water, and feel our feelings.
37:40Miles, hold on.
37:43Sorry.
37:44I wasn't in the mood to say goodbye.
37:46Good, because you'll only be gone for two weeks.
37:49Uh, what?
37:50In the light of day, I convinced Sergeant Bradford to adjust your punishment.
37:54Two weeks administrative leave, followed by a six-month extension in the program.
37:59Sir, thank you.
38:00Don't get too excited.
38:01Six-month extension is severe.
38:04It'll be a significant black mark on your record.
38:06One that'll hamper your career choices moving forward in the department.
38:09I understand.
38:11I truly appreciate you going to bat for me.
38:13I wouldn't do it if I didn't think you were worth it, Miles.
38:16You have the skills.
38:18You know the job.
38:20What you lack is the confidence.
38:22Acting like a cowboy, that's just a cover.
38:24Deep down, you worry that you're not worthy.
38:26You think everyone else sees it the same way.
38:28The only one who can change that mindset is you.
38:33So, I bought you six months.
38:36Convince us you have the maturity needed.
38:39Yes, sir, I won't let you down.
38:42I know.
38:43See you in two weeks.
38:45Two weeks.
39:00Here we are.
39:02Home away from home.
39:03Nyla, hey, thank you for letting me do this with you.
39:06Are you kidding?
39:07You were the perfect girlfriend.
39:09I'm right back at you.
39:10Aww.
39:12Hey, um, everything's going to be all right.
39:16You're too good of a cop for I hate a cut.
39:20I hope you were right.
39:22But thank you for saying that.
39:24Yeah.
39:31Do you see how it is?
39:33Hi, baby.
39:37Hi, baby.
39:47You okay?
39:48Yeah.
39:49Just back to reality.
39:53You know, whatever happens,
39:55they cannot take away who you are.
39:58They definitely can't take away what we've built.
40:02Okay?
40:03I love you, too.
40:09At one point, Jean-Claude Van Damme floats above the scene
40:13and delivers a six-minute monologue.
40:15And this is a good movie.
40:17It's a perfect movie.
40:18Okay, if you say so, then I'm in.
40:21Miles.
40:22Hey, you back.
40:23Yeah.
40:24You okay?
40:25Yeah.
40:26I'm, uh, I wasn't fired.
40:30That was on the table?
40:31Yeah.
40:32Okay.
40:33What happened?
40:36I, um, I really messed up, Selena.
40:43Oh, I'm sorry.
40:44You guys had plans.
40:45I'll get out of your way.
40:46No, no, no.
40:47Stay.
40:47You need cheering up.
40:48And have I got the movie for you?
40:50Movie night.
40:51I'll get the popcorn.
40:52Van life Lucy sounds fun.
40:53You couldn't handle van life Lucy.
40:56Oh, look, I'm aware.
40:57She definitely wouldn't have dated a cop.
40:59Actually, that time in my life was mostly bad.
41:02On the bright side, that's what led me to join the academy.
41:06I think I just wanted to be that person I didn't see around me.
41:09Somebody who cared.
41:11And then you got a training officer who punished you for caring too much.
41:15Yeah.
41:16But, you know, I won in the end.
41:21Yeah.
41:42Hey, I just got home.
41:44I know.
41:45I've been watching the security feed for the last hour.
41:47I ordered you some things.
41:49Boy, did you.
41:51Flowers, cake, beer.
41:53Well, I couldn't send myself, so I ordered some of your other favorite things.
41:57Flowers are really my favorite thing.
41:59Well, it was very sweet.
42:01Oh, I love you.
42:03I love you too.
42:04Now, it's late over there.
42:06You should get to bed.
42:06I know.
42:07But first, we're going to eat cake together.
42:14Oh, baby.
42:16They were out of chocolate?
42:53Damn it.
