00:01Previously on The Rookie.
00:02How's it going with Raj?
00:03Long distance is challenging,
00:04but his European tour ends next week.
00:06Is there so fun?
00:09As soon as you have something.
00:10Rita Sanchez, this is Bradley Wirth.
00:12We work with the Democratic Party,
00:14and we want you to run for district attorney.
00:15If you're not in 100%...
00:17I'm in.
00:17Now you are in the spotlight,
00:19and you will stay there
00:20until I find a way to hang these murders
00:22around your neck and lock you away forever.
00:26I'm not moving to D.C.
00:27John.
00:28No, I can't tear my life apart.
00:30Why are you blowing it all up like this?
00:32I'm trying to save our marriage.
00:34I didn't realize it was in jeopardy.
00:36Bailey.
00:46I really don't see how candles and crystals
00:48are going to improve my love life.
00:51Rose quartz will open your heart chakra
00:54and treat your emotional wounds.
00:55Also, I'm picking up a black tourmaline crystal
00:57to protect Raj on his journey home.
00:59Oh.
01:00To a spell in the open?
01:01Yes.
01:01And I'm looking forward to a little...
01:04you know.
01:05Mm-hmm.
01:06Is there a crystal for straight up getting laid?
01:08I mean, there are some pretty frisky gemstones.
01:11But mostly a crystal store is just a very calm and healing place.
01:14I paid you $500 for love spells that didn't work.
01:18With that attitude, I'm not surprised, Bach.
01:19Negativity is toxic.
01:21Give me my money back or I'm gonna slap the taste out of your mouth.
01:25Sir, let's dial it back.
01:26Try it and I'll curse you.
01:27Go ahead, you crazy witch!
01:37You okay?
01:39Yeah.
01:40Yeah, there's nothing.
01:41All right, come on, buddy.
01:42I'm a cop.
01:44I'm telling you it's time to go.
01:46Sir, she stole $500 from me.
01:48Come on.
02:02Hey, remember eight weeks ago when I bought the perfect Valentine's Day gift for Tim?
02:07Oh, you mean eight weeks ago when I started my morning commute?
02:10Seriously, how is it possible that LA traffic keeps getting worse?
02:13I don't know.
02:14Blame car culture or inadequate mass transit.
02:16Hey, but let's focus back on the baseball autograph by Fernando Valenzuela that I bought Tim and
02:21which I hid so well and now cannot find.
02:24How is that possible?
02:25I don't know.
02:26I think I re-hit it after a few tequilas.
02:31What do I do?
02:32I feel like he probably got me something amazing.
02:36Hey, can I call you back?
02:38Sure.
02:39I will just be here, ripping up the floorboards.
02:41And I will still be in traffic.
02:45Hey.
02:45Hey, sis.
02:46I need your help.
02:47Let me guess.
02:47You forgot to buy Lucy a Valentine's Day present.
02:49No.
02:50I ordered one months ago.
02:51That full Korean skin care line that she loves.
02:53That's amazing.
02:54What's the problem?
02:55It never came.
02:56And they're not responding to my emails, so I need a last minute present.
02:59What about jewelry?
03:00That's so cliche.
03:01I wanted to get her something special.
03:03You're cute, but women really love it.
03:06Hey.
03:07Hey.
03:07Morning.
03:09Coffee.
03:09Happy.
03:11Happy.
03:11Happy Valentine's Day.
03:12Happy Valentine's Day.
03:14Hey.
03:14We're not doing presents right now though, right?
03:16We're doing it.
03:16We're doing it tonight, right?
03:17No.
03:18Yeah.
03:18Tonight.
03:18After the fundraiser.
03:19Oh, yeah.
03:19Okay.
03:20Good.
03:20Good.
03:20You are gonna love what I got you.
03:22Oh.
03:23Same.
03:29What happened to your face?
03:31Oh.
03:32An accident.
03:33Yesterday at the crystal shop.
03:34Although Selena thinks it's the curse.
03:37I don't believe in that kind of thing.
03:39Oh.
03:41Oh!
03:42Oh!
03:43Oh!
03:44Oh!
03:44Oh!
03:44My eye!
03:45Oh!
03:47Oh!
03:47Oh!
03:48Who's the idiot that deployed pepper spray?
03:50Officer Pencer.
03:52Oh!
03:52Something about a curse.
03:54Enough said.
03:56By the way, I can't believe you volunteered to host Wesley's fundraising.
04:00Oh, yeah.
04:01Well, Bailey's on ship the whole week at the firehouse.
04:03We're going through a bit of a rough patch.
04:04I thought, why not mask my Valentine's misery with a hundred wealthy strangers and a
04:09dozen middle-class friends.
04:12Smart.
04:13I'm assuming the move to D.C. is causing the strike?
04:15Yeah.
04:16And I've been trying to come up with a solution that would make both of us happy.
04:20But, you know, marriage is about compromise.
04:23Not always.
04:25Sometimes it's about one person making a sacrifice for the other.
04:30I did it.
04:31When Dominique was born and I chose to stay home, now that I'm back to work, Wade is clearly
04:37having a hard time with the time commitment of my new career.
04:41I never see her.
04:42It's like I'm a bachelor without the fun of being single.
04:44I was hoping you would tell me it wasn't so bad.
04:46Hey, I love my wife.
04:48And I support her, just like you support Bailey.
04:51100%.
04:51But do I like falling asleep every night, waiting for her to come home from work?
04:56Or canceling plans because she caught an extra ship?
04:59No, I do not.
05:02Still, she's happy.
05:03If she's happy, then I'm happy.
05:05Sounds like it.
05:09I'm happy.
05:10Yes, sir.
05:10Thank you for your perspective, sir.
05:19What about a watch for Tim's present?
05:22Does Tim need a watch?
05:24No.
05:25But he didn't need a signed baseball, either.
05:30It was instinct.
05:32You know, I mean, I saw the curse coming, and I just, like, hit him.
05:35Behind miles.
05:36I know.
05:36I know.
05:38My job is to run towards danger, not use my partner for cover.
05:42I mean, how can I say I'm fit to be a cop when I'm clearly a coward?
05:46You...
05:47Selena, you are not a coward, and curses, they're not real.
05:52So just, you know, cut yourself a little bit of slack, okay?
05:54I think he's gonna be okay.
05:57Sir, I need to search you.
05:58Is there anything sharp in your pockets that can stick me?
06:00Nope.
06:03Be careful of the spiders.
06:04Ow!
06:05Ow!
06:05What the hell?
06:06What's wrong with you, man?
06:07I like spiders.
06:08Okay.
06:09Sir, any more surprises in your pockets?
06:11No.
06:12Just the spiders.
06:12Okay.
06:13We'll finish this search at the station.
06:15Jump in.
06:15Watch your head.
06:18You okay?
06:19Yeah.
06:20Yeah, just having one of those days.
06:23No need to think it's confirmation of the curse.
06:25Weird stuff happens all the time on the job.
06:27Oh, 100%.
06:29But maybe you should take an Uber back to the station, just for my safety.
06:39Call it in.
06:41Glasser murdered 10 people.
06:43They all deserve justice.
06:45Look, I agree, but we both live in the real world, where our first priority is taking the strongest case
06:48to trial.
06:49The one we know we can win.
06:50Okay, so you're just dumping Remy Darden.
06:52No.
06:52No.
06:52But for now, I have to hold back on prosecuting Glasser for Remy's murder.
06:55Look, the DNA buffet that Glasser created to contaminate his killing floor ruined any chance of using forensic evidence.
07:01Now, if you could have identified him in the basement, then...
07:03Yeah, but I couldn't.
07:04Neither of us thinks that I should have lied about that.
07:06Of course not.
07:07But it makes the path to conviction more difficult, which is why I need to be mercenary and only prosecuting
07:11Glasser for what I can prove to a jury.
07:13I hope you told his dad yet, because if he calls you as much as he calls me to check
07:16in...
07:17Look, I haven't, but I will right after the deposition.
07:20Is there anything I should be thinking of going in?
07:22Well, given the obstacles, the DNA issues, the other serial killer, the Patsy that Glasser used, you need to be
07:29perfect.
07:30Great.
07:31No pressure.
07:37You know, putting out fires is our job.
07:40I'm gonna have to report you for a union violation.
07:42So, any idea who set the swan on fire?
07:45Nope.
07:45Witnesses say the swan was floating alone on a lake when it ignited.
07:49They never saw anyone aboard.
07:52Gasoline and laundry detergent, which is basically napalm.
07:57This was set by a pro, using a mechanism to delay the ignition.
08:03Here it is.
08:04He placed a lit cigarette between the coils, cover the boat in napalm, and set it out on the lake.
08:09The arsonist has about five minutes to clear it.
08:13You wanna know what makes this even more interesting?
08:15Our first call this morning was a fire at the Siegfried dry cleaners, with a coil that looked just like
08:21this.
08:23Swan and Siegfried.
08:24That cannot just be a coincidence.
08:26I'm not seeing the connection.
08:28Ah, the story of Swan Lake.
08:31The lovers were Odette and Siegfried.
08:34What?
08:35We have culture and sexism.
08:36So, we are looking for a serial arsonist who loves the ballet.
08:40Um, why don't you see if you can get the security camera footage from the boathouse, and see if anybody
08:45has a video on their cell phone.
08:46Yes, sir.
08:48Oh.
08:50Happy Valentine's Day?
08:52I guess that depends on your definition of happy.
08:54Right.
08:56Why don't I, uh, meet you at the station and lend my arson expertise to your investigation?
09:02Sounds good.
09:05Hey, I'm almost home.
09:07I'm just a flight and a layover and a flight away.
09:09Yay!
09:10Maybe we could have dinner tomorrow.
09:12I mean, if you're not too tired, and if you don't mind having a meal with a coward.
09:16Are you kidding?
09:16The whole reason I booked this planes, trains, and automobiles ass return trip is so I could get back to
09:21you as quickly as possible.
09:22Translation.
09:23Estoy tan emocionado de verte.
09:26Oh, well then, hurry up and get trans back here.
09:30Yes, ma'am.
09:31See you soon.
09:32Bye.
09:37See, clearly the curse did not get on you.
09:39Please help!
09:40Help me!
09:40No, no, no, no!
09:41I need help!
09:44Are you all right?
09:45A witch!
09:46She put a curse on me!
09:48Oh my God.
09:49I was there.
09:50What happened to you?
09:51It all started this morning when I slipped in the shower and I chipped my tooth.
09:55I took a ceiling fan to the head when it spun off the mount.
09:58I was chased for three blocks by a pack of stray dogs.
10:00I lost my wallet, my phone.
10:03Please, I need to get this curse taken off me.
10:05Even if she did put a curse on you, it's not technically a crime.
10:10You should go tell the owner you're sorry.
10:12Beg for forgiveness.
10:12I mean, even offer her money.
10:14Anything to get her to reverse it.
10:15And the sooner the better.
10:16Okay, okay.
10:18Yes, yes, yes.
10:37You okay?
10:38Yeah.
10:40Uh, yeah.
10:41It's just a guy was hit by a truck earlier and it happened like right in front of us.
10:47That's terrible.
10:48He'd been cursed.
10:49Never mind.
10:50But I saw it with my own eyes yesterday at this crystal shop I go to.
10:54No judgment.
10:55None given.
10:56I spent way too many hours looking at the lizards at my local pet store.
10:59We all got our hobbies?
11:00Right.
11:01Yeah.
11:02Well, the thing is, I was there when the curse happened and I hid behind Miles so it wouldn't
11:08get on me.
11:09And now Miles has had a run of bad luck and this guy is dead and I'm worried that Miles
11:13is
11:13next and it's my fault.
11:14I mean, I should have jumped in front of the bullet.
11:15I mean, the curse, whatever.
11:17The point is, my cowardice put my roommate in jeopardy.
11:21You've gotten two accommodations for bravery the last 18 months.
11:25No one can call you a coward.
11:27Yes, that's true, but how do you know that?
11:32Oh, I looked you up after our last case together.
11:37Not in a creepy way.
11:39Hey, I heard there's some kind of big party going on tonight.
11:42Are you going to that?
11:43Oh, it's a fundraiser for Wesley's campaign.
11:46Oh.
11:47No, but you should totally come.
11:49Yeah, you know, just like donate donate bucks or something.
11:51You want me to?
11:52Yeah.
11:53It'll be fun.
11:54Okay.
11:54Yeah.
11:55All right, great.
11:56Looking forward to it.
11:57Okay.
11:58I'll see ya.
12:00Oh, man.
12:01Hey.
12:02Oh, no, no, no.
12:03What happened?
12:04Oh, suspect had a pocket full of spiders.
12:06Turns out I'm allergic but I slammed some Benadryl.
12:08Okay, no, Miles.
12:09We have to go back to the crystal shop and get the curse reversed.
12:11What?
12:12No, I can't.
12:13No, no, no, Miles.
12:14The guy she aimed it at is dead.
12:16Got hit by a truck this morning.
12:18Okay, that's crazy.
12:20I really can't go right now.
12:22Just gotta power through it.
12:26Detective Harper, you claim you were attacked in the Westview basement.
12:30I did not claim.
12:31I was attacked.
12:33And did you see this person's face?
12:35No.
12:36Well, I appreciate the fact that you've been honest about that from the start,
12:39but it means that you ultimately decided my client was the attacker based on what?
12:44A feeling?
12:45No.
12:46Other factors.
12:47My 15 plus years as a police officer, his physicality...
12:51His physicality?
12:51Aren't there millions of people in L.A. County with the same approximate height and weight?
12:55Asked and answered.
12:57Detective Harper cannot definitively identify Liam Glasser.
13:00Well, I'm simply establishing that Detective Harper jumped to conclusions about my client's involvement without any evidence.
13:05That's a big swing.
13:06Do you want to lay foundation for that assertion, or should we just strike Dad now?
13:10Detective Harper, on the day that you first met my client at the Mid-Wilshire Station,
13:15did you subsequently follow him to his truck for a conversation at approximately 5.30 p.m.?
13:20I did.
13:21And what was the nature of your conversation with Mr. Glasser?
13:25I told him that I thought he was involved in the Westview murders.
13:28What specific unarticulable facts landed you at that conclusion?
13:32I did not have any evidence at this time.
13:35So you just decided to find a way to frame my client?
13:37I resent that allegation.
13:40Did you tell my client, quote,
13:42I will find a way to hang these murders around your neck and lock you away forever?
13:47Unquote.
13:53May I remind you that you're under oath?
13:55I'm aware.
13:57Yes, I did say that, but I didn't...
14:00Let the record show.
14:01Detective Harper answered in the affirmative.
14:05Find a way.
14:07Wait till the jury hears that.
14:11Good news.
14:12I got Harris to cover the back half of my shift so I can spend Valentine's night with you.
14:17And if we're too tired to work things out, we can have satisfying yet emotionally complicated sex.
14:23Uh, tempting.
14:24Not saying no, but we would have to do it in front of the hundred or so mostly strangers who
14:29are invading our house tonight.
14:31Wesley's fundraiser.
14:32Right.
14:33I forgot.
14:35I'm ready for my first arson 101 lesson.
14:38Oh, you don't look good.
14:40Oh, it looks a lot worse than what it really is.
14:43Although the, uh, spider bites, it's pretty bad.
14:45Okay.
14:46Okay.
14:47Well, in a fire investigation, we look for seven things.
14:51Do you have any idea what those are?
14:52What kind of accelerant they use, the fuse to light it, and, uh, all right, all right, um, five other
15:00things.
15:00Point of origins, burn patterns, fire behavior, forced entry, missing items.
15:06Correct.
15:06And when I put those factors through the arson database, Arnold McKenna's name popped out.
15:12Arnold's been a fire starter for the last 20 years, in and out of prison, including a stint that was
15:17two years ago last August.
15:19So what's his motive, other than really liking fires?
15:22Revenge, mostly.
15:23He burned down the home of a former employer, a carpet cleaner that stiffed him, and the car of an
15:29ex-girlfriend that he claimed cheated on him.
15:31So what, the swan did him wrong somehow? What's going on?
15:33Yeah, there seems to be a disconnect, the whole Valentine's Day element.
15:37I mean, has he set thematic fires before?
15:39No, I mean, it would be new for Arnold.
15:41All right, well, let's go get him.
15:43Uh, how about you do that solo and let me give some medical attention to Miles?
15:48Yeah, okay.
15:50How's the present hunt going?
15:51Uh, badly. You can't still be in the car.
15:54No, I am back in the car after a day of wrangling 17 hormonal preteens in an un-air-conditioned
16:00classroom.
16:01Oh my gosh. Okay, um, so I'll try and be quick. Um, I remember Tim talking about this book that
16:07he used to read over and over again. It was, it was his escape when things were bad.
16:12It was a sci-fi book, right?
16:13Yes. Do you remember the title? I want to get him a copy of it for Valentine's Day.
16:17Sorry, I don't. But I can picture the cover. It was this buff guy with a girl with ridiculous breasts
16:24and they were fighting a tentacle creature.
16:27It took place on the moon.
16:28Okay, cool. Thank you. I could definitely work with that.
16:37No, no, no. That's not gonna work. I need the full line. Cleanser, serum, toner, all of it.
16:43No, I didn't wait to buy a gift. I ordered it from Korea and it didn't...
16:47Okay, you know what? Can you transfer it to the jewelry department, please?
16:52Yeah, thank you.
16:54I didn't do it. Every time there's a fire in this city, you always drag me in here.
16:59Well, it wasn't me. So just give me the details, I'll give you my rock solid alibi, and I can
17:04get on with my day.
17:05Where were you this morning?
17:07Home. Alone.
17:08So much of a rock solid.
17:10You weren't near Echo Park Lake? A swan boat was set on fire.
17:14Nope.
17:15What about at 6 a.m.? There was a fire at Siegfried Dry Cleaners.
17:18Swan Lake. Cute. But it wasn't me. I hate the ballet.
17:22But you'd love a 1.7 to 0.3 ratio of gasoline to laundry detergent to create your accelerant with
17:29a, uh,
17:30Sousin of orange juice concentrate to make it nice and sticky.
17:36Not like I patented that or anything.
17:39No, but you might have taught it to someone who's doing a little bit of Valentine's Day fire starting.
17:46Give us a minute.
17:52Hey, hey.
17:53What's going on?
17:54LAFD just put out a fire at the Romeo Bakery, and they found a half-burned mosquito coil at the
17:58scene.
17:59Well, it couldn't have been Arnold, which means he definitely has a protege out there.
18:03I'll get a court order to tap his phone.
18:05Whoever his student is, Arnold might reach out and give him an attaboy.
18:09We should definitely be putting eyes on everything and anything Julietta Jason.
18:14Mr. Darden, how do you feel about the prosecutor's office declining to charge Liam Glasser with the murder of your
18:18son Remy?
18:19What?
18:20We have a source that says the district attorney's office dropped the charges.
18:25No, no, that's not right.
18:27No, Glasser killed my son.
18:29I was promised.
18:31Wesley Evers promised me that Glasser would pay.
18:36I was gonna call him first thing this afternoon, but the deposition ran long.
18:40Gabriel Darden should not be hearing this from a reporter.
18:42Somebody leaked it.
18:44My bet's on Vivian.
18:45She sees you coming up in the polls.
18:47She's looking to take your legs out.
18:49By destroying your grieving father.
18:50She's a cold-blooded predator.
18:52That's the reason you're running in the first place, to bring empathy back to the DA's office.
18:57We need to put out a statement.
18:59I'll send you a draft in 20.
19:05So what's the damage from my deposition?
19:08Honestly, pretty catastrophic.
19:10If I call you as a witness to trial, Malcolm will have free reign to impeach your testimony.
19:15He will paint you as a crooked cop to the jury.
19:17I never, not once, stepped out of line on that case with regard to evidence.
19:21Yeah, but you let your emotions get the better of you.
19:24I just, I wanted to wipe that smart off his face.
19:26Okay.
19:29I screwed up.
19:30But Angela can testify.
19:32She was there for most of it.
19:33She's not the lead detective.
19:35And she's my wife.
19:37Which is just another way that the defense will highlight the prejudice against Glasser.
19:41Plus, if I don't call you, Malcolm will likely add you to his list.
19:45He'll put you up there as a hostile witness.
19:46It's a mess.
19:47And unfortunately, Nyla, it gets worse.
19:52As an officer of the court, I have no choice but to report your conduct with Glasser to internal affairs.
19:57If I don't make the call that I hate, Malcolm will.
19:59And then I get disbarred for covering it up.
20:16It's worth $1 million.
20:20I miss this.
20:21Huh?
20:22You, me, out laughing about our nonsense.
20:26Me too.
20:29Hey, I've been thinking.
20:30How would you feel if we designate one night a week as date night?
20:36That way, no matter how busy we each get, it's on our calendar.
20:41Oh.
20:42And why is this funny?
20:43I just, I'm just, I am just appreciating the role reversal.
20:46For two decades, I wanted you to have a more predictable schedule.
20:50And so now the shoe is on the other foot and I'm completely empathetic.
20:56But I'm also a little amused.
20:58Touche.
21:02Hey, stranger.
21:03Hey.
21:04You look like you could use a drink.
21:05That obvious?
21:06Tim might have mentioned trouble on the home front.
21:09You need a shoulder to cry on.
21:10I owe you.
21:11Oh, no, you don't.
21:12I, I mean, I appreciate the offer, but, uh, we're working it through.
21:17I think.
21:18I'm here.
21:18I'm here.
21:19Oh, God, we've really packed it in here.
21:21I could barely get in our front door.
21:23Hi.
21:23Hi.
21:24Wow.
21:24You look beautiful.
21:26Oh, so do you.
21:27Thanks.
21:29Happy Valentine's Day.
21:31Oh, I didn't get, I thought we weren't doing presents.
21:33I'm gonna go scope out the dessert table.
21:35Thank you for the beer.
21:41Good for a lifetime of cohabitation would be the noon till death do us part.
21:47I don't, I don't get it.
21:48I'm not going to DC.
21:50I'll call Ross in the morning and I'll tell.
21:52What?
21:52You have always been there for me, John.
21:55Through secret husbands, impetuous behavior, and emotional minefields.
22:01And over the last few days, I realized how hard it must have been for you to tell me no
22:08about DC.
22:09And I also realized, instead of listening, I took your head off and ran away from the conversation.
22:18You are the love of my life, John.
22:21I don't want to be anywhere you're not.
22:24I feel the same way.
22:29When were you gonna tell me you're going after Harper?
22:31Who now is not coming, by the way?
22:33Okay, I'm not going after her.
22:35I have a legal obligation.
22:36Which you didn't feel when I threatened to kill Elijah in his kitchen.
22:39That was a sanctioned sting operation.
22:41There's no gray area here, Angela.
22:43I'm trying very hard, very hard not to blame Nyla because she is our friend.
22:48But I might actually lose this trial because of what she did.
22:51Liam Glasser might walk free.
22:52So take a moment, consider who you're mad at right now, and whether that's deserved.
22:58You two are so cute.
23:00Love the passion.
23:03Well, we are very passionate about justice.
23:07I am not having a good time with this campaign.
23:09Join the club.
23:13I can't wait any longer.
23:15No, look, I'm all for being adventurous, but this might cross a line.
23:17Get your mind out of the gutter.
23:19I want to give you your gift.
23:21Oh.
23:23Wow, okay.
23:24I really hope it's the right one.
23:30You said how much this meant to you.
23:32I tried to find you a new one, but they're out of print.
23:35I can't...
23:37Is this signed?
23:38Yeah, the librarian who helped me find it knows the author who lives in L.A.
23:41And he was just so thrilled that the book meant so much to someone.
23:45Do you like it?
23:48I love it.
23:49No, I love you.
23:55It's incredible.
23:59I get mine now?
24:03I'm sorry.
24:05I'll be right back.
24:06Okay.
24:11Excuse me.
24:13I need her for a minute.
24:15I was having a connection.
24:17You can do better.
24:19She found it.
24:21Cool.
24:22You knew?
24:23Yeah, she needed help remembering the title.
24:26It's signed.
24:27That's amazing.
24:28I'm sorry.
24:28You knew she was gonna give me the most thoughtful gift ever and you didn't say anything?
24:32Really?
24:32You told me to buy jewelry.
24:34I got earrings.
24:35She like them?
24:36I didn't give them to her.
24:37Not after this.
24:38It's not a competition to see who can get the best gift.
24:40Okay, you know what?
24:41It is now.
24:42I'm gonna see if I can plan a trip to Paris in the next 10 minutes.
24:44If she asks where I am, just cover for me.
24:51You made it.
24:52You kidding?
24:53Pretty girl asks you out to a party, you don't say no.
24:55You can buy a suit and some pricey Corona.
24:58Wow, you look beautiful.
25:01Oh, thank you.
25:02Oh, whoa.
25:02No, sorry.
25:03Sorry.
25:03That's not.
25:04Selena.
25:05What?
25:06Hi.
25:08I thought you were not supposed to land until tomorrow.
25:12Well, I forgot that you gain a day when you're coming back.
25:14And I'm nine hours off.
25:15And, uh, am I interrupting something?
25:19Yeah, of course not.
25:20What?
25:20You asked me out.
25:21No, I did not.
25:22No, I said you should come.
25:24That it would be fun.
25:26And, well, I'm now realizing that could be misinterpreted.
25:29But it wasn't my intention to...
25:31Sorry, I'm too jet-lagged to follow this.
25:33Do I have anything to worry about?
25:34You do not.
25:34Great.
25:35I'm gonna get a drink.
25:36Why don't you guys come find me after you work it out?
25:38Yeah.
25:41Gilmar, I am so sorry.
25:43Um, I feel like, um...
25:46Thanks.
25:48I'm sorry.
25:50Excuse me.
25:58Thank you for coming.
25:59Now, I joined the DA's office because I believe that everyone,
26:02regardless of their means, their race or their social status,
26:06deserves justice.
26:07Liar!
26:08What about my son?
26:13You're gonna find your back.
26:18Who's this?
26:33This is a nightmare.
26:35You acted in self-defense, protected your wife, who didn't even protect him by the way, but I love that
26:39you did it.
26:39Okay.
26:40I assaulted a grieving father.
26:41We need to make a statement.
26:42No.
26:43You are blowing up the internet.
26:45Getting praise across the political spectrum.
26:47I...
26:47Hell, Joe Rogan called you an American hero.
26:50What?
26:50This is Rogan's people.
26:51I'm trying to get you on the podcast today.
26:53Hey.
26:54This is breaking my brain.
26:56The people that usually hate progressives are settling my demographic.
26:59Whatever it takes.
27:00We're in this to win it.
27:01So you need to find a way to be a badass and a saint at the same time.
27:05Mmm.
27:05Perfect.
27:11These are beautiful.
27:13You open them.
27:15Well...
27:16Yeah.
27:16I...
27:17We kinda got lost in all of the excitement from last night,
27:21and I happened to find myself looking through your pockets and...
27:27I...
27:27I love them.
27:29Okay.
27:30Good.
27:31You know, it is a second choice gift.
27:32I...
27:32I mean, I bought you every item about that overpriced South Korean face stuff you love,
27:37but it didn't ship in time.
27:38And then you got me the most thoughtful present in recorded history,
27:42and I'm so sorry that it's not a better gift.
27:45Are you kidding?
27:46Yeah.
27:46They match my necklace.
27:48Yeah.
27:48These are incredible.
27:49Okay?
27:51Mmm.
27:52You know, I actually bought you a different gift first, too.
27:56Oh, yeah, yeah.
27:57The Fernando Valens with a baseball hidden behind the washing machine.
27:59You found it and you didn't tell me?
28:01I didn't want you getting mad at me for criticizing your hiding spots.
28:04What?
28:04A greenhorn in the academy would have found that in like six seconds.
28:07But I love you.
28:10Oh, my God.
28:14Oh, my God.
28:14My name is Mandy Fisk.
28:15She did six months for arson last year.
28:18Arnold McKenna called her last night at 934.
28:21You sure you're all right?
28:22Uh, yes, sir.
28:24Elevator door caught me good as I was leaving this morning,
28:26but I just need to walk it off.
28:33Hi.
28:34Can I help you?
28:35You sure can.
28:36Why don't you invite us in, and I'll tell you how.
28:43Clear the couch, carefully.
28:46What's this about?
28:48Why don't you have a seat, and I'll try to explain.
28:56The LAPD has been monitoring a phone
28:58that belongs to Arnold McKenna.
29:00He called you last night, 934?
29:03Oh, that's who that was.
29:05I heard static on the line, so I hung up.
29:08The call lasted for three minutes.
29:11Over the last 36 hours,
29:13several fires have been started that match Arnold's M.O.
29:16However, they've got a bit of a romantic streak
29:19that really doesn't fit Arnold's temperament.
29:22Yeah.
29:22Yeah, he's more of a revenge guy.
29:28Look, Arnold's a creep.
29:30We were in the same halfway house when I got out of prison.
29:32He took a shine to me.
29:35Kept boasting about how powerful he was,
29:37thinking it was gonna help him get in my pants.
29:39Wouldn't listen when I told him that I don't like boys.
29:42For real, he was obsessed, and I told him to get lost.
29:44But not before you stole his special method for starting fires.
29:47No.
29:48That's what the phone call was about last night.
29:50Someone is using his formula and setting fires,
29:53but it isn't me, and I told him that.
29:54It's not just you.
29:56You have a partner.
29:57You're wrong.
29:57Come on.
29:58Swan Lake, Romeo and Juliet,
30:00you're flirting with someone through fire.
30:02It's a call and response.
30:04So, who is your other half?
30:06No one.
30:07Baby!
30:07You gotta see this.
30:09The Juliet cake shop went up like a torch.
30:11Check out this video on my phone.
30:13Mmm.
30:15I'd love to see it.
30:16Perhaps I'll take a look
30:18while Officer Penn puts you both in cuffs
30:20and reads you your rights.
30:24Watch your head.
30:35Hi. Thank you.
30:36Thank you so much for coming in.
30:37I want to make this clear right up front.
30:39My client does not accept any legal liability
30:41for events that have occurred since her argument
30:43with Greg Clark two days ago.
30:44Oh, no.
30:45I'm not trying to arrest Rhiannon for anything.
30:48I want her to remove the curse off my friend Miles.
30:51To promise any kind of restorative action
30:53could be taken as an admission of guilt.
30:55No, please.
30:56It's my fault.
30:57I should have protected him.
30:58And I know you're a good person
31:00who wouldn't want her abilities
31:01to harm an innocent man.
31:03Not that they have or will.
31:04But this conversation is over.
31:06No, no.
31:07Okay, please. I'll pay.
31:08Call it a charitable donation.
31:11I'll sign whatever waiver you want.
31:14A thousand dollars.
31:16Cash.
31:19Done?
31:20Yeah.
31:21I will send it after my shift.
31:26I'm sorry.
31:27It's not your fault.
31:29Wesley was just doing his job.
31:31Have you heard from IA yet?
31:32No, they'll need to review all the facts
31:34before bringing me in.
31:37But it would probably be best for us
31:40to keep things purely professional
31:42until this is all over.
31:46Yeah, I guess so.
31:50I set all the fires.
31:52Sally had nothing to do with it.
31:53Mandy, don't.
31:54Look, given we have her confessing
31:56to setting one of the fires
31:57and we have it on video,
31:58that's not gonna stick.
31:59Please.
32:00I talked her into it.
32:01She's not even really a fire bug.
32:04She's just in love with me
32:05and I took advantage.
32:07She doesn't deserve to go to prison.
32:09She lit the fires, Mandy.
32:10I can't just let her go.
32:12Look, you can always try your luck
32:13with the DA's office.
32:22Look, I'm not judging you.
32:24It's your money.
32:24But if this Rhiannon woman
32:26truly believed in her mystical powers,
32:27she wouldn't be jacking you up
32:28for a thousand bucks
32:29just to clean up her spray
32:30and pray method of cursing.
32:32Yeah, totally.
32:32But I have to save my house.
32:34Then I'm taking my crystal business elsewhere.
32:37Yeah.
32:41Oh, my God.
32:47Sir.
32:47Sir.
32:48Hey, are you okay?
32:49Is he okay?
32:52This entrance is what's cursed.
32:55Oh, my God.
32:57Oh, my God.
33:00Oh, my God.
33:19Oh, my God.
33:19Hey, let me talk to Nolan.
33:21I'm sure he'll let us take miles
33:22for a few hours to get this curse removed.
33:24I'm afraid to wait any longer
33:25to get this done.
33:46What happened?
33:50Oh, my God.
33:52Oh, my God.
33:53There was an explosion in the Sally port.
33:56Jeez.
34:00Oh, careful.
34:00Careful.
34:01You got a huge piece of glass in your arm.
34:03No, no, no.
34:03Leave it.
34:04Leave it.
34:04Leave it.
34:04We gotta get you a tourniquet first.
34:05Right, right.
34:06Yeah.
34:06Okay.
34:08We have to help everyone.
34:10I need to find Miles.
34:11I need to find Miles.
34:12First, go to the kit room.
34:14Grab all the respirators.
34:15Yeah.
34:16Ugh.
34:17Jeez.
34:18Oh.
34:19Oh.
34:20I'm here.
34:21I'm right here.
34:47I'm.
34:49Oh.
34:53Oh.
34:57Oh.
35:00Oh.
35:01No.
35:12I'm coming!
35:15Help!
35:17I need help!
35:19God, I need help!
35:21I need help!
35:23I need help!
35:30Nylon! Nylon, you okay?
35:32Yeah, I'm okay.
35:34There's masks in the box.
35:36I'm gonna go back there.
35:40You okay?
35:41You okay?
35:46On three, ready?
35:48One, two, three!
36:01I'll get the mask.
36:02I'll get the key.
36:07Help!
36:12Here.
36:14Can you walk?
36:15Come on.
36:17Take your way out.
36:26Help!
36:27Help us!
36:29No!
36:33Come on.
36:34Come on.
36:37I can't breathe!
36:40Help us!
36:41Help!
36:43No!
36:44No!
36:46No!
36:47No!
36:47No!
36:49No!
36:51No!
36:54No!
36:56No!
37:08No!
37:11Oh.
37:13Oh, hot.
37:17Ah.
37:22Help.
37:23Oh.
37:40Bradford.
37:47Bradford!
37:51Bradford, let's go!
37:53Come on!
38:02What is that?
38:07Come on, go!
38:20No!
38:29We can't stay here!
38:30I'm not leaving him behind!
38:35Look at this!
38:38Hey!
38:39Over here!
38:40It's Chad!
38:41We need this open!
38:50Come on!
38:53Come on!
39:07Come on!
39:10I got to play!
39:12I got to play!
39:13I got to play!
39:40Mandy and her girlfriend are gonna make it,
39:42but you're gonna go to prison for the rest of your life.
39:44Get them out of here.
39:48Hey, hey.
39:50Oh.
39:53I thought I lost you.
40:02Thanks for the save.
40:06It's what we do.
40:07Um, although it would be so great
40:10if we never had to survive a fire again.
40:13Tell me about it.
40:17Look who I found out in the lobby.
40:19James should be landing any minute.
40:21We need to talk each other down on the way over here.
40:23Thanks.
40:24I know you say we should keep it purely professional,
40:27but how about we start that tomorrow?
40:34Come here.
40:35Oh.
40:51Hey.
40:52How's he doing?
40:53Oh, he's okay.
40:55Concussion.
40:56Lots of blunt force trauma bruising,
40:58some second-degree burns,
40:59but it could have been a lot worse.
41:02But it wasn't because you saved him.
41:05It was my fault.
41:06He was in danger in the first place.
41:07Okay.
41:09Regardless, that's taken care of now, too.
41:11I gave Rhiannon $1,000 to lift the curse.
41:14She promised it's effective right away.
41:16Oh, my God.
41:18I will pay you back.
41:19Oh, please.
41:20I sold so much merch on my tour, I'm loaded.
41:23Are you, uh, huggable?
41:25Gently.
41:27Well, I have a newfound respect for firefighters,
41:31and you in general, as if I need it back.
41:33And I have an even greater respect for your stubborn-headed bravery,
41:37but next time leave the fire rescue to the professionals,
41:41we dress for it.
41:42Yes, dear.
41:45You should go to D.C.
41:46John.
41:47No, listen.
41:47I mean it.
41:48We are strong enough to navigate the separation,
41:51and you really want it.
41:53I took it personally, and it was never about us.
41:57You think I'll get bored of this in a year
41:59and chase a new challenge back home?
42:02I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.
42:08Hmm.
42:20All right.
42:46Damn it.
