00:07I
00:31So, which one of these is your first choice?
00:33Whichever one I get into.
00:35Honestly, I just grabbed a handful of brochures
00:37in the counselor's office.
00:38I really didn't look at them.
00:41Morning, sleepyhead.
00:42Morning. What's all this?
00:43Bailey is helping me with my college applications
00:45before school.
00:46Isn't it a little late in the year to be applying?
00:48Yeah. I have analysis paralysis,
00:51otherwise known as overthinking.
00:52Right.
00:52Plus a well-documented procrastination disorder,
00:54you know, like Elvis, Mozart, and the Game of Thrones guy.
00:57I also like to prioritize other more enjoyable interests.
00:59Basically, I've been frozen with fear about my future,
01:01and now I find myself up against it with time almost run out.
01:04When is it due?
01:05Midnight.
01:06Midnight tonight?
01:07I also need letters of recommendation.
01:09Bailey already wrote me one,
01:10but I was kind of hoping that you would write me one, too.
01:12By tonight?
01:13Uh, well, I mean, today's gonna be a little bit hectic.
01:16LAPD is transferring Heath Everett from Terminal Island
01:19to the courthouse downtown.
01:21That's the guy who crashed the plane you were on
01:24and then escaped?
01:25Briefly escaped, yes, and it's down to us
01:27to make sure he doesn't do it again.
01:28But I think we should have him round-tripped by late afternoon.
01:33I can write your letter then.
01:34You are quite literally the best after Bailey.
01:37Now that goes without saying.
01:39Wesley!
01:40I know.
01:41I mean, seriously?
01:42The contractor promised that the new offices
01:44would be repainted by Friday,
01:47which he also promised last week.
01:49But Del Monte and I are moving in on Monday no matter what.
01:54Hey, good morning.
01:56You know, this is ridiculous.
01:58When I said you could keep the ring here,
01:59I didn't expect you to come visit it every day.
02:01Okay, it's not every day.
02:04Fine, but I-I can't keep it at the house,
02:05can risk Lucy finding it.
02:07Well, you can't keep it here anymore,
02:08because Emmy found it and stuck it up her nose.
02:10What?
02:10Don't worry, I cleaned it.
02:12Okay, so what do I do with it now?
02:15How about give it to Lucy?
02:18You do have a plan for the proposal, right?
02:20I mean, I'm cycling through options.
02:23You know, I-I want the moment to be perfect.
02:25Given that the whole station knows you're gonna propose,
02:27you got a day, two tops, before Lucy finds out.
02:35Bomb squad just finished clearing all ingress and egress routes
02:37to the courthouse.
02:38And underground access points, boxers.
02:41Guarded out of the preemptive strike school.
02:43Metro executed them early this morning.
02:44We've got 20 of Everett's known associates in custody.
02:49Hey.
02:51What do you think prison feels like to a guy
02:53whose whole life was luxury?
02:56I mean, the bathroom on Everett's yacht's
02:58bigger than his prison cell.
02:59Look, Everett did time in the army, okay?
03:01He is not soft.
03:01Plus, I will bet you anything,
03:03he does not believe that he's gonna remain in prison for long, so...
03:10Wow.
03:12A lot of lawyers.
03:13And yet,
03:15this is just a fraction of my legal dream team.
03:19I'm adding new ones every day.
03:22Like this guy.
03:25What's your name?
03:26Malcolm Walsh.
03:27Oh, right!
03:29You're the guy who, uh,
03:30you got the serial killer of, right?
03:32Alleged.
03:32Yes, sir.
03:33Liam Glassman.
03:35I mean, come on.
03:37That doesn't happen.
03:38If I were you guys,
03:40I would pack up my little pants and just go.
03:43You gotta be kidding me.
03:44I watched you murder a man in cold blood.
03:47There is an illegal team on the planet
03:49that's gonna keep you from spending the rest of your life in prison.
03:51Well, that's not why we're here.
03:53Today is solely about your court appearance.
03:56Hmm.
03:56In four hours, you will be escorted to the courthouse for a preliminary hearing.
04:00This will be a multi-agency escort armed to the teeth
04:04and prepared to vigorously deny any attempts to free you from custody.
04:09And if anything does go wrong,
04:11the DOJ will immediately seek to transfer you to a supermax prison,
04:14while the full weight of the DOJ and the LAPD
04:18will be brought down upon your entire legal team for collusion.
04:22Now, I don't expect you to give a crap about that, but they sure will.
04:24This is outrageous.
04:26If you think you can intimidate us with this dog and pony show,
04:28you got another thing coming.
04:30No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
04:31You're mistaking this conversation for a threat.
04:33It is not a threat.
04:34It is a promise.
04:35Today will go smoothly or lawyers start catching fists.
04:43Act accordingly.
04:45See you later.
04:49He's a smug bastard.
04:50Yeah, but is it because he's up to something
04:52or because he's just made a privilege?
04:54So I would definitely bet on the former.
04:56I agree.
04:58Tim, we're gonna go alpha level on that score.
05:01Understood.
05:02I'll set it in motion.
05:03Everett?
05:04Yeah.
05:04Day can't be over soon enough.
05:06Have you ever written a recommendation letter?
05:09Nope.
05:10Never?
05:11No, there are very few people I'd recommend for anything.
05:13And the beauty of being Tim Bradford is people are too scared to ask.
05:17Right.
05:19Is that it?
05:20Yeah.
05:21Can I see?
05:26She's gonna love it.
05:27You think?
05:28I do.
05:30She's gonna put it loose in your pocket like that?
05:32Yeah, that box is too cumbersome.
05:34And to be honest, I don't trust the locker room.
05:37Morning.
05:37Big day, huh?
05:38Every day is a big day in the LAPD pen.
05:50Good morning.
05:51Uh, sorry to just drop by unannounced.
05:55I don't like that you know where I live.
05:58May I come in?
05:59I have a business offer that I think you might appreciate.
06:01Close the door.
06:03New offices will be ready next week.
06:07Exciting.
06:09Listen.
06:10It's no secret that my profile has blown up since I got Glasser off.
06:15In fact, I've just taken on Heath Everett as a client.
06:17I'm handling estate charges.
06:19So you came here to brag?
06:20No.
06:21To make amends.
06:23Deep down, I know that my success is based in your misfortune.
06:27And I'd like to try to balance the scales.
06:30Pass.
06:30But thank you for your concern.
06:33Sergeant Tim Bradford is claiming that Everett offered up $10 million to help him escape.
06:37Yeah, well, he tried to corrupt the wrong man.
06:39Tim is as straight and narrow as it comes.
06:41Still, there's no evidence to support Bradford's account.
06:43And given the scale of the charges against my client, attempted bribery just seems petty.
06:51Everett feels that Bradford is acting like a little bitch.
06:55His words.
06:56Well, I think Everett has more to worry about than the smallest item on his charge sheet.
07:00Well, I don't disagree.
07:00But he's a client.
07:01He wants it dropped.
07:03You are much better positioned to persuade Bradford than I am.
07:09Why would I say yes?
07:10Lawyers need clients.
07:12And law offices aren't cheap.
07:16Look, you and I both know that Everett is made of money and not afraid to spend it.
07:20You will be paid handsomely, regardless of outcome.
07:26In exactly 12 hours, I will be a graduate of the FTO program. I think.
07:33What do you mean, I think?
07:35Nobody else has brought it up.
07:38Oh.
07:39Or what?
07:39Nothing.
07:40What? Selina, what?
07:42It's...
07:42It...
07:43It's just...
07:44Nolan spoke to me about my graduation multiple times through the weeks leading up to it.
07:49Well, he hasn't said a word to me.
07:51And according to my math, the six-month extension ends today.
07:54So why the radio silence?
07:55It's been crazy around you the last few weeks.
07:58Maybe it just fell through the cracks.
07:59Well, maybe he knows I'm gonna fail out, so he's not wasting his time.
08:04If Nolan wanted to bounce you, he'd just bounce you.
08:07Unless it's not Nolan who's planning to bounce me.
08:09Ben, return your gear. You're not going out today.
08:11Waters, you'll be riding with Nolan in the escort convoy.
08:15Why wouldn't I be going out?
08:19Excuse me.
08:20Hey, uh, why are you grounding Penn?
08:22Uh, I'm not. I'm reassigning him to help you.
08:25You're the one I'm grounding by giving you a temporary promotion.
08:29Oh, so you're taking my position in the escort convoy?
08:31What can I say? Gray wants a super shop.
08:33No, seriously, this has nothing to do with lack of faith in you.
08:36It's just after everything that happened with Everett last time,
08:38we can't risk the task force being caught by surprise.
08:40Okay, I get it. You're taking everyone capable and leaving me with the scrubs.
08:43There are no scrubs in the LAPD, Sergeant Chen.
08:47But I did reassign Penn to help bolster your roster.
08:50Got a second?
08:51Nope.
08:52Don't be grumpy. I would talk fast.
08:55So I've been hired to be a part of, uh, Everett's legal team.
08:58Just a small part, focusing on the bribery charge.
09:00Okay. What about it?
09:02Guy tried to bribe me of being charged with it. End of story.
09:04Yeah, just that there's no body cam footage of the proffer.
09:07So it's your word against his, and Everett is facing a dozen life sentences on far more serious crimes.
09:12I just figured we could take this off everybody's plate.
09:14There's no body cam because he turned off my feed when he tried to bribe me.
09:16And I'm fine with this on my plate, but if you have too much on your plate,
09:19maybe you shouldn't be representing a literal war criminal.
09:21Okay, there's no need to make this personal. I'm just doing my job.
09:24No, it is personal, because you were hired because we're friends.
09:26And that friendship just ended.
09:28Tim.
09:28You know what? You're not even part of the DA's office anymore,
09:31so you don't have the same privileges you once had when we were fighting the same fight.
09:34So from here on out, you're required to go sign in and get a visitor's badge like everyone else.
09:38Now get the hell out of here.
09:41Understood.
09:44Oh, I have a quick question because I didn't see it in the file.
09:46Did you fingerprint your body cam just so there's proof that it was Everett that cut the feed?
09:51Otherwise, how's the jury gonna know if this attempted bribe was offered by him
09:57or solicited by you and rejected?
10:01I look forward to answering all your questions in deposition, Counselor.
10:05Mm-hmm.
10:06Okay?
10:48I appreciate you coming off the injured list to help out today.
10:51I was scheduled for return next week anyway.
10:53Get you to get back into some trouble.
10:54Trouble?
10:55Let's make sure we don't find any today, okay?
10:58Yes, sir.
10:59I know I was skeptical, but this Mobile Watch Command office is pretty damn sexy.
11:04I guess it'll be yours soon enough with the task force ending.
11:08I assume you want your job back.
11:10Closing up the task force is gonna take months.
11:12After that, I'm not sure what my next move is.
11:15That's you asking me to step in while you're planning the wedding.
11:18In that case, I'm happy to help out.
11:19Does everyone in the station know I'm gonna propose?
11:21I heard only three separate sources.
11:23Great.
11:24Which means you gotta pop the question ASAP.
11:27So?
11:28What's the plan?
11:31There is no plan.
11:32Look, I don't want some big Instagram-ready production.
11:36I'll find the right moment and I'll ask.
11:39Tim, this is the story you're gonna tell your grandchildren.
11:42You can't wing it and hope for the best.
11:44How did you propose to Luna?
11:46We were just kids when we got together.
11:48So I took her to the beach, gave her a ring so small it could've came from my crackerjack box.
11:53I've seen her ring.
11:54It's huge.
11:54A series of upgrades over the years, my friend.
11:58The point is, it doesn't have to be flashy, but it does have to be thoughtful.
12:04Lucy does love the beach.
12:05The waves remind her how we're all interconnected.
12:08Sure.
12:08And also, it's pretty at sunset.
12:12All right.
12:13He almost to the bridge.
12:26Trouble?
12:27Maybe.
12:28All units as possible, bogey.
12:30Give me eyes on that plate and run out the horror hole.
12:41All right, here we go.
12:45Set the perimeter.
12:46Protect the prisoner at all cost.
12:50Two hundred.
12:51Two hundred.
12:52Two hundred!
12:52Five hundred!
12:54Sometimes I'll kill you.
12:56Two hundred!
12:56Five hundred!
12:58Five hundred!

18:34Let's go.
18:36Let's go.
18:36I deny wholeheartedly that there's any truth to the detective's allegations.
18:50Demetrius.
18:51Fuck who's that?
18:52After this morning's meeting at the prison I heard Mr. Eversleet consultants reference
18:55the name on a phone call.
18:57Specifically, whether Demetrius was ready.
19:02that's all i know and now i'm leaving
19:1310 bucks he just pulled that name out of his ass i don't know he's he's rattled
19:19there's a chance he might be for real come on
19:41you got him yeah yeah gun got the gun
19:49requesting ra to mid wilshire station
19:51multiple gsw victims pen are you okay yes ma'am okay good
19:57you want to tell me how the hell a gun got in here
20:01uh was tim upset we didn't find the ring yeah but once i told him we found a piece of
20:06everett
20:07surveillance drone he agreed getting it to tech squad was the priority
20:13hey i have not written the uh recommendation letter yet oh it's fine i saw the news and
20:18you're kind of living in a duane johnson movie right now so i took the liberty of writing
20:22it myself all you have to do is sign it oh i don't know if i'm comfortable with that i
20:26mean
20:26it's it's my letter i should write it are you sure because drone magnet helicopter escape is trending
20:31right now you know what speaking of can you confirm that these are pieces of a drone uh yeah that's
20:38the
20:38guts it's flight controls image stabilizer gps can we use that to figure out where it launched from
20:45it's kind of gps for all right you know what your hurtful sarcasm is going to be noted in my
20:50recommendation letter you're too sensitive remember at midnight my college career turns into a pumpkin
20:55good luck got it
21:02every criminal that passes through that door needs to be thoroughly searched for contraband
21:07and weapons first by the arresting officer and then by processing i know and i did so then how
21:12did bledsoe end up with a gun inside a holding cell did you deviate from normal pat down procedures
21:17no but he was combative it took two of us to control him so it's possible you missed a gun
21:23no i searched him thoroughly after he was restrained i did so then how did this happen i don't know
21:29i can pull the security footage no harper's handling that you're sidelined until we get this sorted
21:35out yes ma'am any word on hall and the prisoner bledso shot hall is in surgery and and the
21:46prisoner
21:47died in the ambulance
21:59all right everybody listen up gps from the drone that nolan iwata is found on the bridge shows that
22:04a launch from port of los angeles now we've connected it to an international maritime company
22:09demetrius llc they have a fleet of three dozen boats currently operating on the west coast one of
22:14which is a decommissioned military transport ship that is departing imminently from the port of san
22:19diego now we believe that heath everett is on that boat satellite imagery shows at least three dozen
22:25private soldiers along with equipment vehicles and weaponry have been loaded on board in the last hour
22:30now given everett's deep ties inside the dod we have to assume that any effort to go through
22:34normal channels to coordinate a larger raid would risk alerting them therefore we are going it alone
22:38small strike force will gain covert access onto the boat locate recapture everett and then get the hell
22:43out of there without starting a shooting war with a superior force exactly how big is the boat bigger
22:49than i'd like she's 800 feet bow to stern has four cargo decks three crew decks a bridge and an
22:55engine room
22:56so it'll take a while to search but on the plus side it'll spread out their manpower
23:00in case our little stealth mission gets noisy
23:15what are you doing here coming with you're gonna need a medic and i'm not taking note for an answer
23:24now best guess everett will be staying here level three it's on the upper deck it's where the
23:28captain's quarters are located but he could be in the officer's dining room two decks below bottom line
23:34we need to be prepared to search multiple areas so we'll split into three teams team one will cover
23:39the top decks team two the cargo decks team three we'll head to the engine room to disable the ship
23:43so they can't come after us once we leave correct now i wish i had better operational intel to give
23:48you but if we don't get going right now we're going to lose him and given his infinite resources
23:52we may never get another opportunity to get him back so any last questions yeah who's buying beers
23:56when we're done you know real men don't need their wives to do their camo makeup oh shush man this
24:05doesn't seem real but it is situation might be unique but the moves are the same it's tactical infill we
24:12search and clear rooms the exact same way communicate and coordinate every action we take what are the
24:16odds we find everett in the first place we look non-existent you really aren't that glass half full
24:23kind of guy are you i'm a realist okay realist what are the odds we even pull this off let's
24:30get going
24:31why can't you just lie
24:33so
25:00so
25:10so
25:16so

36:19Although, given how you handled yourself today,
36:22I might just put in a recommendation to Sergeant Bradford
36:25that your timeline be accelerated.
36:28Yes, ma'am. Thank you.
36:30I-I appreciate it, Detective Harper.
36:49Dash?
36:50What? Oh!
36:52Hey!
36:54Um, sorry, I must have fallen asleep.
36:56I was coming to bring you guys a thank-you bottle of champagne,
37:00but you guys weren't home, so I figured I'd wait.
37:02Well, that is so sweet of you, but completely unnecessary.
37:06I-I just wanted to thank you guys in person.
37:09Not just for actually writing the letters on time,
37:12but for all the nice things that you said in them.
37:14I've been feeling kind of...
37:17anxious and off my game,
37:19but reading all those nice things that you wrote about me
37:21when you could've just signed the letter that I gave you is...
37:24It felt really nice.
37:26Well, my young friend, I meant almost every word.
37:29Funny. Um...
37:31But I've been thinking, and...
37:34I don't think I really want to go to college.
37:37Not yet, at least.
37:38I want to take a year, maybe two,
37:42and become an indie film god.
37:44Make the kind of reckless movies that only an 18-year-old
37:46who isn't afraid of the world can make.
37:49Well, I...
37:51I think that's a great idea.
37:54Awesome.
37:55Do you want to help me tell my mom?
37:56Oh, no, no. You're on your own with that one.
37:59Why don't I make us some food before you go?
38:01You can't break your mother's heart on an empty stomach.
38:03Yeah, sounds right. Thanks.
38:04Who were you guys? Covert Ops? Romantic Escapade?
38:07Fight Club?
38:09Uh...
38:09A little bit of each.
38:11Yeah.
38:12You do lead an exciting life.
38:13Yeah, a little too exciting.
38:14You know what? It, uh...
38:16God, it just breaks my brain sometimes
38:17when I think about the guy I used to be back in Foxburg.
38:21Oh.
38:22The sheer normalcy of that first chapter of my life
38:26compared to this.
38:27I feel a life lesson coming on.
38:29No. Not at all. It's...
38:32It's just that, without that foundation of my old life,
38:37none of this.
38:38Uh, the crazy job, the beautiful house,
38:41the sexy badass I get to spend the rest of my life with,
38:46none of it would exist.
38:47So no matter what you do, movies, college, food industry,
38:52none of it will define you.
38:53There will always be a path to reinvention.
38:57I'm living proof.
39:01Oh, I should have recorded that, um, for the mom convo.
39:04Can you, can you run that one more time?
39:06Yeah, um...
39:08Oh, what was the first part?
39:09I started listening at sexy badass.
39:15Hey, if you're here to plead Wesley's case...
39:17I'm not.
39:18But he only took Everett on as a client
39:20so he could secretly investigate Malcolm.
39:22Didn't bother to tell anyone that, of course,
39:23but that's for another day.
39:25I'm here now because I found your ring.
39:28What?
39:30Where?
39:30In the super shop.
39:32You should have asked for my help in the first place.
39:33I spend my days searching my car for lost Legos
39:36and miniature dinosaurs.
39:37I owe you big time.
39:38No, you don't.
39:39Tim?
39:40Shh, go. Now.
39:44Hey.
39:45Who are you talking to?
39:46Ah, mailman.
39:48Did he give you some mail?
39:49That's what we were talking about.
39:51What?
39:51So weird.
39:52Listen, you know what?
39:53It is a beautiful day out,
39:55and I was thinking,
39:56how do you feel about going for a walk on the beach?
39:59That sounds nice.
39:59Yeah?
40:00Yeah. Let me get changed.
40:01Okay.
40:06You know,
40:08I don't really take for granted how close we live to all of this.
40:11Yeah, I was surprised you suggested it.
40:14I thought you hated the beach.
40:15What?
40:16Just because I don't like the sand doesn't mean I can't be out here appreciating the time with you.
40:24Oh, wow.
40:31Do you ever have that feeling where a moment is so perfect you're trying to memorize it while you're experiencing
40:37it?
40:39Yeah.
40:42Yeah.
40:42Yeah, I do.
40:54When we met, I had come to believe that the world was a really dark place.
41:00And for the last eight years, you've shown me just how much light there really is.
41:06Now, you have healed me in places I didn't even know were broken.
41:12And I promise you, I promise to spend the rest of our lives doing everything I can to be worthy
41:19of that love.
41:21So, Lucy Chen,
41:25will you marry me?
41:29Yes.
41:30Yes, yes.
41:38Yes, I like it.
41:41Oh, it's perfect.
41:52Hey, congrats.
41:57What?
42:08Heath Everett says payback is a bitch.
42:24All right.
42:25You're a bitch.
42:32You're a bitch.
42:32Oh, yeah.
42:41You're a bitch.
42:42You're a bitch.
42:43Hey, guess what?
42:43Without a doubt, you're a bitch.
42:43Oh, yeah.
42:43Oh, yeah.
42:47Oh, yeah.
42:50That's a good time.
42:58Damn it.
