FunTranscript
00:00Control, 7 Adam 15, show us on a vehicle, stop Sherman, Grubb, and Wingate, clear for plate.
00:04Go ahead.
00:052 Frank, Adam, Nora, 3, 2, 1.
00:09They're bailing.
00:10Control, we got multiple runners east and westbound, need code 3 units and an airship.
00:21Driver's heading east. Nolan, with me.
00:30Copy.
01:01So, um, how is she?
01:04She made me run out to buy her concealer at 6am to cover the tattoo. She does it every morning.
01:09Well, wouldn't you? I mean, can you imagine walking around with a serial killer's brand on you?
01:14When can she have it removed?
01:16Four weeks, two days, nine hours.
01:19Hey, for your first day back, I thought you could use some sugar and some carbs.
01:22Oh, that's sweet.
01:24Literally.
01:26So, are you ready?
01:28Absolutely. Doctor signed off on physical, department shrink signed off on mental.
01:32Oh, but could you do me a favor?
01:34Anything.
01:35I just don't want everybody clapping during roll call.
01:37Well, that's tradition, though. You know, I mean, you survive something like that, they're going to want to show you some respect.
01:44I'll see what I can do.
01:46Hey, did Henry and Abigail make it in last night?
01:48Yes. Boy, they have a whole long list of waiting venues they need to investigate.
01:53Fine.
01:54No?
01:55Yes. No, I mean, yes. It's just, it's a lot to take in, you know?
02:00It seems like only yesterday Henry was a toddler on my shoulders, holding on to my hair, his little feet in my hands.
02:08Oh, that's sweet.
02:10It's a bit of a puker.
02:12It's hard to get that smell out of your hair.
02:18Hey, so what's your plan?
02:20For what?
02:21Watch Chen. I'm sure you've got some alpha strategy to get her back on the horse, so what is it?
02:26Your standard input overload. Force her to push through dynamic engagements, hone in her fight or flight response.
02:30So basically get her into as many fights as possible.
02:33I'm going to remind her that she's a cop and not a victim.
02:35She knows she's not a victim. Look, Chen doesn't need to fight.
02:39She needs to make peace with the voice inside of her head telling her she's never going to be safe again.
02:44Look, I've been training rookies a lot longer than you. I know what she needs.
02:47That's ego talking.
02:52What happened to Chen is every woman's worst fear.
02:56I'm aware of that.
02:57But you have never lived that fear.
03:00It's clear that you have her best interest at heart.
03:02I'm just asking you to consider whether she might be better served by someone who has been through what she has been through.
03:12And that someone's you.
03:21Okay. I'll tell Gray to make the switch.
03:29Hey, what are you guys doing here?
03:31Oh, the wedding venue we were going to look at got shut down by the health department.
03:35Oh.
03:36I guess you're crossing that one off your list.
03:37Are you kidding? It'll be super cheap now. Which is our price point.
03:41Well, I am just starting my shift, so I really can't hang out with you.
03:46Actually, I was hoping I could hang out with you.
03:49I've done a lot of self-reflection since I dropped out of school.
03:52And meeting you, seeing how you reinvented your life has been really inspiring.
03:56Wow. Abigail, thank you. That's a very nice thing to say.
03:59It's made me want to become a cop.
04:02So I was hoping I could do a ride-along today.
04:07Ha! You almost had me. This is another I'm pregnant, psych, I'm not pregnant bit. Yeah, I'm not falling for it.
04:13No, no. She's serious, Dad.
04:16Totally.
04:17Um, oh, okay. Sorry. Uh, oh. Well, given your history, Abigail, with the arson, I don't know that that's possible.
04:24She was 17 when that happened.
04:26And I was never convicted.
04:28Right.
04:29The DA cut me a deal. I realize it won't be easy, but I really want to try.
04:33Well, I'd have to ask the watch commander.
04:36But, you know, he's always saying recruit the brightest and the best, so...
04:39Great. I'll just grab my jacket from the car.
04:41Okay.
04:44You can't let her become a cop.
04:46What?
04:47Yeah, she's been talking about this for weeks, and I'm trying to be encouraging,
04:51but I'm barely okay worrying if you're going to make it home every night. I can't do that with her.
04:56Well, this sounds like something you should discuss with her.
04:59Dad, please, can you just make sure she has a bad time?
05:02Hey, Marie, I can't do that.
05:04Please.
05:06I can lean into the bad parts.
05:08Great.
05:10Reporting for duty, sir.
05:13This is going to be great.
05:16Have you tried this?
05:17Yeah.
05:34Sorry, I didn't try.
05:35Yeah, you're dead to me.
05:37Welcome back, Officer Chen. How are you feeling?
05:39Can't wait to get on the street, sir. Just get back to normal.
05:42Glad to hear that. We're going to mix things up a bit.
05:44You're going to be riding with Hoffer this week,
05:46which means, Nolan, you and your ride-along are with Bradford.
05:49Sorry, wait, what? Ride-along?
05:51Which brings us to Officer West.
05:53Tell me, son, you enjoyed the red carpet last night?
05:56What? How did you know?
05:58LAPD media relations.
05:59Sent me a link.
06:00And now some hot goss from hot suspect star Sterling Freeman.
06:03TV's favorite cop has been hitting the town with real-life LAPD officer Jackson West.
06:08Looks like these cops should call the fire department,
06:11because it's getting hot in here.
06:14Okay. Yeah. No, no, no. Keep laughing.
06:17I also gained 10,000 new Instagram followers overnight.
06:20West, the only followers you should worry about are your superiors.
06:23Think about us next time you're out in the town.
06:26Yes, sir.
06:27All right. That's it. Stay safe out there.
06:30Nolan, did you schedule the ride-along without clearing it with the CO first?
06:33No, sir. I cleared it with Detective Harper. She said it was all right.
06:36I guess you knew she wasn't riding with you today.
06:39All right, so who am I saddled up with?
06:41Uh, it's my future daughter-in-law, Abigail, over there.
06:44She's considering signing up to the academy.
06:46She's like nine pounds. And I'm not interested in chasing tame calls today.
06:50Oh, no need to. I think Abigail would benefit from seeing the harsh side of police work.
06:55You don't want her to be a cop?
06:56I'm merely concerned about her suitability.
06:59So perhaps we should show her what she'd be signing up for.
07:03No problem. Scaring rookies off the job is my specialty.
07:11Hi. I'm Abigail.
07:12My name is Officer Bradford. You'll address me only as Officer Bradford. Do you understand?
07:16You signed the liability waiver?
07:18Yes, sir. Officer Bradford.
07:20Good. Then you understand you could be injured, maimed, paralyzed, burned, or killed during this ride-along.
07:24I mean, yeah. Sure.
07:26We're not tour guides. We're the police. We drive towards the sound of gunshots.
07:30So if that's going to be a problem, you should bail out now.
07:33No problem at all. Let's go find some gunshots.
07:40So, why the switch?
07:42Tim felt you'd be better served riding with me.
07:44Yeah, right. This has to be some kind of elaborate Tim test that he roped you into.
07:49Do I strike you as someone who can get roped into anything, especially by Bradford?
07:53Fair enough. So, I'll ask you again. Why the switch?
07:59I convinced Tim that I would have more insight into what you were going through
08:03and could therefore be more helpful to your reintegration onto the street.
08:07Did you go on a date with a serial killer, too?
08:11Uh, no.
08:13Well, then I'm not sure how much help you'd be.
08:15But it's fine, because I don't need any help.
08:17I've already worked through the trauma using both cognitive and exposure therapy
08:21combined with mindful breathing and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing.
08:25So, it's fine.
08:29You don't get it. Gray didn't show that red carpet stuff just to tell you how to act appropriately off-duty.
08:33He's sending you a message. Fame and police work don't mix.
08:36Come on. Look, it was just my 15 minutes.
08:38That's not a thing you should want.
08:40Unless you want to say goodbye to doing undercover or joining SWAT or robbery-homicide.
08:44I'm just going to want to ride with a celebrity.
08:46Okay, look, you're blowing this way out of proportion.
08:48Okay, it was just the red carpet. I have it under control.
08:51Does that guy look familiar?
08:53You mean Captain Suspicious?
08:55Yeah.
08:56I think I saw him in a bolo back at the station.
08:58We're on his plate.
08:59I'm guessing we're looking at our first arrest of the day.
09:03If you really want to be a cop, the first thing you need to come to terms with is death.
09:06In all its forms.
09:08Stay here.
09:09I'll never get used to the smell of death.
09:11It's actually not that bad.
09:12But I kind of got a thing for armpits.
09:14The funkier the better.
09:15I don't need to know that.
09:17We got a jumper.
09:18Did a header from the roof.
09:19You really don't want to see this.
09:21No, I kind of do.
09:23If you're going to hurl, kid, do it over there.
09:27Huh.
09:28I'm not even sure what I'm looking at.
09:30Impact velocity tends to turn people into piñatas.
09:33Five stories on the asphalt and its limbs akimbo.
09:36That's its left leg.
09:37That's its spine.
09:38Oh, okay.
09:39Yeah, I see now.
09:40We've got no time to waste.
09:41Let's go.
09:42Okay.
09:44That's its spine.
09:45Oh, okay.
09:46Yeah, I see now.
09:47We got an I.D.?
09:48Yeah.
09:49Heston Dayton, 22.
09:50Thinking homicide?
09:51Suicide?
09:52I won't know until I do an autopsy.
09:53And even then, it might not be clear given the state of the body.
09:56Have you notified next to Kim?
09:57Not yet.
10:01Okay, let detectives know that we'll take care of it.
10:03Come on.
10:07That was cool.
10:08He's a human being.
10:10I'm about to go tell his family that they'll never see him again.
10:127 Adam 7, be advised.
10:14Vehicle is registered to a felon with outstanding warrant.
10:17I love being right.
10:18First name, Jedi.
10:19Last name, Monet.
10:20Sending detail to your box.
10:23Oh, seems Mr. Monet has an affinity for armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon.
10:28Light him up?
10:29No, get backup going first.
10:30Better safe than sorry with this clown.
10:327 Adam 7, headed south on Hauser near 9th.
10:35Need backup for a felony car stop.
10:37You sure?
10:38Hell yeah.
10:397 Adam 19 responding.
10:40We're approximately 30 seconds out.
10:42Heading northbound.
10:47Five bucks, you rabbits.
10:53You can pay me after.
10:54You never accepted the bet, son.
11:04Driver, turn off the vehicle and place both hands outside the window.
11:10Oh, my God!
11:14Oh, my God!
11:15Jackson, get him the hell out of here!
11:17Ladies, you need to step back.
11:18Ladies, ladies, ladies.
11:20You need to get back.
11:21You need to get back.
11:29Get out of the store.
11:30Get out of the store.
11:33Move!
11:34Move!
11:40Move!
11:44It's empty!
11:45Hey!
11:47Stop where you are!
11:48Police!
11:49Stop right there!
11:50Hands behind your head.
11:51Fingers laced.
11:52Down on your knees.
11:53Control, show us one in custody.
11:54Code 4.
11:56Nice of you to join us.
11:57Maybe our suspect wants your autograph.
12:10Play your favorite song.
12:13Get your armor ready.
12:15Take two deep breaths.
12:18As your hands get steady.
12:20Get your game face on.
12:23Hold it up tight.
12:25Call your war cry.
12:27Getting ready for the night.
12:29Hey, I just wanted to say I'm sorry about before.
12:31At the crime scene.
12:33I wasn't thinking about the family.
12:35I get it.
12:36But listen, what we're here to do is awful.
12:38Death notifications always are.
12:40You spend the drive over dreading it.
12:42Trying to come up with words that will somehow soften the blow knowing that there aren't any.
12:48This boy lived here with his mother and his sister.
12:50And what we're about to tell them has the potential to destroy lives.
12:53There's no shame in waiting in the shop if you're not up for it.
13:00Police!
13:03What?
13:04What do you do this time?
13:05I'm Officer Bradford.
13:07This is Officer Nolan.
13:08Can we come in?
13:09No.
13:10Ma'am, I think it's best if...
13:11Can you just tell me what Heston did?
13:14We regret to inform you that your son was killed this morning.
13:19What?
13:20What's going on?
13:22Mom?
13:26Your brother's dead.
13:31No.
13:32I'm afraid so.
13:33What happened?
13:34He fell from a building in downtown.
13:37Possibly jumped.
13:38No, he would never do that.
13:40Never.
13:43Do you know what he was doing downtown?
13:45No.
13:47I haven't seen him in a couple of days.
13:53I'm so sorry.
13:56Who are you?
13:57I'm Abigail. I'm doing a ride-along.
14:01It doesn't matter.
14:02Did you see him?
14:04His body?
14:06No.
14:09Is there anything I can do?
14:10Like what? Make him alive again? Can you do that?
14:14No.
14:15You asked what Heston had done now.
14:17What kind of trouble was your son into?
14:18Just hanging around with idiots.
14:20Anybody we should talk to?
14:28What did you do?
14:29Guys?
14:30What the hell did you do?
14:31What?
14:32It's your fault he's dead!
14:33What the hell are you squabbling about?
14:34Hey, leave her alone!
14:35Hey!
14:37Ma'am, calm down.
14:38Who is this guy?
14:39He's the reason Heston's dead!
14:41What are you talking about? I just talked to him this morning.
14:43Get up.
14:457-Adam-15, can you run a name for me?
14:47Everest Jones, born 0201-96.
14:50Wait, he's not really dead, is he?
14:52Yes, he is.
14:53If you know anything about it, you need to tell us right now.
14:55Dude, I don't know anything.
14:56Liar!
14:57Do you have a specific accusation?
14:59No.
15:00That represents Heston's been hanging out with this loser.
15:01He's been getting himself in trouble.
15:037-Adam-15, first name Everest, last name Jones.
15:05Prized for criminal threats and banishing a firearm.
15:08Everest, assault and battery.
15:10It's had to be.
15:11The detectives will come by later to talk to you and your mom.
15:13If you have any questions, give me a call.
15:21Thanks for jumping in the fight.
15:25No problem.
15:26And sorry for biting your head off.
15:29It's okay.
15:30I can't even imagine what you must be feeling right now.
15:34Take care of yourself.
15:42You okay?
15:46Better than her.
15:49Come on.
15:52Turn to the right.
15:54Okay, and that concludes today's festivities.
15:56Transport will be here soon.
15:58You want me to do the paperwork?
15:59No.
16:01Nice job out there.
16:02Thanks.
16:04So you're just not going to let me help you at all?
16:06I don't need any help.
16:07I already told you I'm fine.
16:09We'll see.
16:12Abigail?
16:13Hey.
16:14Hi.
16:15I'm so glad you're okay.
16:17Did you get the flowers we sent?
16:18And the basket.
16:21So, you're Nolan's ride-along.
16:23How's it going?
16:24It's, uh, a lot.
16:26Mm-hmm.
16:27The hell is this?
16:28I let you run around with Harper for half a day
16:29and you start hugging people on duty?
16:31Don't listen to him.
16:32He's all bark.
16:33I gotta pee.
16:37All bark?
16:38She is not buying what you're selling.
16:40It's because I don't hold her fate in my hands.
16:43Heard you dodged a bullet.
16:44Yeah.
16:45A few.
16:47What, are you keeping tabs on me?
16:50If you need me, then.
16:51You let me know.
16:52You got a time machine?
16:57I wish I did.
16:59All right, Everest.
17:00Time to come clean.
17:01You need to tell us what you know about Heston.
17:03Maybe he did really jump.
17:04How the hell should I know?
17:05His sister tried to scratch your eyes out.
17:06She thinks you're responsible.
17:07Well, I was at the DMV in Culver City all morning
17:09clearing out tickets, so...
17:10They got cameras there, so if you're lying...
17:12I'm not.
17:13And I know my rights.
17:14And I don't have to talk to you two anymore, so...
17:15Get him processed.
17:16I'll get the detectives' table up to speed.
17:18Right.
17:21You warned me, and I didn't listen.
17:23Like it or not, I'm a celebrity now.
17:25Celebrity adjacent.
17:26Whatever.
17:27Look, either way,
17:28somebody almost got hurt today because of me.
17:30Because I thought it would be cool
17:31to walk down the actual red carpet.
17:33Have people take my picture.
17:34Make me feel important.
17:35You're young.
17:36You still think popularity matters.
17:37So what do I do?
17:38You're young.
17:39You still think popularity matters.
17:40So what do I do?
17:41You're young.
17:42You're young.
17:43You're young.
17:44So what do I do?
17:45I can't answer that.
17:47You think I should break things off with Sterling?
17:50Unless you got another way to stay under the radar.
17:54Yeah.
18:03A little hungry?
18:04No.
18:07I get it.
18:08I get it.
18:10This job isn't how you imagined it would be.
18:14What's going to happen with Everest?
18:15Well, you've got an alibi.
18:16Detectives will run it down.
18:18If it's real, I'll get started out.
18:20Be home before dark.
18:21It's still possible Heston's death was an accident.
18:24Or a suicide.
18:25An autopsy's going to shed some light on that.
18:27Look, it's good that you see now
18:29how rough this job can be
18:31before you sign on.
18:32Now you can move on
18:34and figure out what it is you really want to do.
18:37I really want to do this.
18:38Now more than ever.
18:40Your job affects people.
18:41Makes a difference in their lives.
18:43If there had been a cop like you around
18:45back when I needed help,
18:47things would have been different.
18:50Thanks for making today happen.
18:52And for believing in me.
19:03Hey, where's your ride along?
19:05Oh, Henry came to pick her up.
19:06They're crashing a wedding in Malibu
19:07to see if they'll like the place.
19:09Well, let her know I thought she showed
19:10some solid instincts today.
19:12She's clearly got some fight in her,
19:14so I'd be happy to put in a word when she turns 21.
19:17That's very nice of you.
19:18You should know,
19:19she's got a little trouble in her past, you know.
19:21She knows that's going to make the world
19:22a little harder for her,
19:23but she's committed.
19:25Okay, what kind of trouble?
19:27Ex-boyfriend put some revenge porn on the internet
19:30when she was 17.
19:31She kind of torched his car.
19:33She'll never be a cop.
19:34She knows she handled it the wrong way.
19:35She did a ton of communication.
19:36Does it matter?
19:37The law sees it as an incident of domestic violence.
19:40It's a hard pass at the academy.
19:41There's got to be something she can do.
19:43There isn't.
19:44It's a shame.
19:45She seemed like a good kid.
20:04You're not going to shower?
20:05Uh, I'm going to do it at home.
20:08Oh, but you're not going home.
20:09What?
20:10Ready.
20:11Almost.
20:12I'm sorry.
20:13Ready, ready for what?
20:14We have plans.
20:16Girls' night.
20:17Oh, I get it.
20:18You've seen that I'm fine on the job,
20:19but you're still not convinced.
20:21No, that's not it.
20:22We just thought it would be fun.
20:23But if you're not up for it...
20:25Oh, wait.
20:26No, I am.
20:27It's...
20:28You guys have just never asked me out before,
20:29but that's great.
20:30Uh, cool.
20:31So where are we going?
20:32A bar?
20:34A club?
20:41Oh, uh, this is a joke, right?
20:44You were right.
20:45I have never gone on a date with a serial killer,
20:48and you have.
20:49And that would make anyone question their judgment.
20:51Yeah, sure, but, uh, this...
20:52But nothing.
20:53Look, you can never truly know that you are fine
20:55until you know that you can trust your judgment again.
20:58So we're here in this controlled environment
21:00with zero stakes so you can meet
21:02and evaluate a succession of men.
21:05You can call them men.
21:06Look, I appreciate what you're trying to do here,
21:08and actually, it's fairly psychologically sound.
21:10But this... this is unnecessary.
21:13Well, it'll just be a great story for tomorrow.
21:15You are not gonna take no for an answer, are you?
21:17I am just real committed to getting you to say yes.
21:25Okay, fine. Yes.
21:27Great. We will be sitting over there,
21:30having just some B.Y.O.
21:32Yeah, I don't know.
21:33If I'm doing this, so are you guys.
21:36Can't have a controlled study without independent data.
21:38Otherwise, how will I know that my judgment is sound?
21:41She's got a point.
21:42Don't make me pull the buried alive card.
21:48Screw it, I'm in.
21:57Hey. Hey.
22:02Well, at the risk of sounding like my mother...
22:04Is that what you're wearing tonight?
22:06We got that restaurant opening, the vodka launch,
22:08the runway show.
22:10I just thought we could stay in tonight.
22:13I ordered pizza, extra large with all the toppings.
22:16See, my PR rep had to pull massive strings
22:19to get us into that vodka launch.
22:20Well, I'm not dating your PR rep,
22:22and I don't care about vodka launches and runway shows.
22:26Well, that's not true. You're right.
22:28I would love to go to a runway show, just not tonight.
22:32Okay, hey, hey. What is going on with you?
22:39I got recognized at work from the red carpet last night.
22:42That is so cute.
22:43No, it's not. It was a real problem.
22:45Look, Sterling, I have to be anonymous for my job.
22:48What are you saying?
22:50I don't know.
22:52Look, but if we could just stay in tonight,
22:54you'd really mean a lot to me, please.
22:56Look, this PR stuff, it's part of my job.
22:58It's how I make connections, stay relevant.
23:02Jackson, don't make me go without you.
23:06We'll have fun.
23:07Yeah, but we can have fun here.
23:08I can't. I have to go.
23:13Okay. Yeah.
23:17Thanks.
23:22For nothing.
23:27You ready?
23:29Uh, I guess.
23:42Okay, let's do this.
23:44Okay, let's do this.
23:46Do you ever have any intrusive thoughts?
23:49I mean, I know it's not PC to say,
23:52but women are paid less because they just naturally take full risk.
23:56So there I was, wandering the crash site carrying this guy's leg.
24:00Mm-hmm.
24:02Did you have any early behavioral issues?
24:04How would you describe your relationship with your mom?
24:06And would you submit yourself to a full background check?
24:09If not, why?
24:12Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't say anything.
24:15Let's just sit here until the timer goes off.
24:18Anyway, I learned my lesson.
24:20Don't wear open-toed shoes to a crime scene.
24:27She did good.
24:28Yeah.
24:29This has actually been really interesting.
24:31I feel like I learned something about myself.
24:32This is crepes.
24:34Yeah.
24:35Oh, you have a string coming.
24:38Hey, hey, hey.
24:40It's okay, it's okay.
24:43You know, you really shouldn't touch a woman without asking,
24:45but, you know, you don't need to make a thing of it, right?
24:47Are you okay? What happened?
24:59Good morning.
25:05How are you feeling?
25:06Just gearing up for a day of country clubs and wedding halls.
25:09I mean, how are you feeling about the not becoming a cop situation?
25:12I'm fine.
25:14It's not the first time I lost out on something because of what happened.
25:17And it won't be the last.
25:19Abigail.
25:20I'm going to take a shower.
25:21Hey.
25:22Good morning.
25:23Morning.
25:25She's heartbroken, you know.
25:26Yeah, I know.
25:27But, uh, I think it's for the best.
25:32Henry, I'm disappointed you feel that way.
25:34You love her, but you're rooting against her.
25:37All because you can't handle the idea of her being in danger.
25:40Okay, Dad, that's not fair. I'm trying to protect her.
25:43Deciding what's best for her is not protecting her.
25:45That's controlling her, and you're better than that.
25:48I shouldn't have played along yesterday, and that's on me.
25:50But I would be a failure as a father if I didn't tell you.
25:53You're falling down as a fiancé.
25:55Abigail deserves your empathy and your honesty.
26:00You can't give her that, and you should tell her it's over.
26:04Okay.
26:09Uh, yeah?
26:11I don't feel so good.
26:13Did you eat that whole pizza?
26:16I went for a slice when I got home, but the box was empty.
26:19Of course.
26:20I spent the whole night in bed, shame eating, while I refreshed Sterling's Instagram feed.
26:25Oh, no. FOMO overload?
26:27Oh, yeah. You have no idea.
26:29Red carpets, gift bags, and guess who Sterling sat next to at the fashion show?
26:33Mm.
26:34Lady Gaga.
26:35Oh, my God, and you missed her?
26:36I know.
26:37That's when I ordered another pizza.
26:39I'm sorry, what, you ate two pizzas?
26:41Mm, sounds so bad when you say it out loud.
26:43And completely unsustainable as a coping mechanism.
26:47Oh.
26:50What are you gonna do?
26:52I think I have to break up with her.
26:55I'm sorry.
26:56Yeah, me too.
26:58Just, I like him.
26:59Like, a lot.
27:01Well, on the bright side, you won't be alone in being alone.
27:04You know, we can FOMO together.
27:07Okay.
27:13Hey.
27:14You seen Nolan?
27:15Not yet.
27:16Hey, Lucy had a bit of a moment last night when we were out.
27:19It's not a big deal, she's fine.
27:20What the hell's Harper doing?
27:21Helping. Don't get all Tim on me, I just thought you should know.
27:24Lucy's okay?
27:26She will be.
27:27All right.
27:28Thanks for letting me know.
27:31Nolan, I got something.
27:33Me too. Who goes first?
27:34I do.
27:35Listen, medical examiner called. Heston Dayton wasn't a jumper.
27:38Pushed?
27:39More like tossed. He was dead before he left the roof.
27:41Strangled.
27:42Weirdly, he also had acid burns on his forearms less than a week old.
27:45Well, funny you should say that. I looked up the arrest records for Everest Jones.
27:49His burglary charge was for stealing drain cleaner, which contains sulfuric acid.
27:53Which is used to cook meth.
27:54You think they were cooking it in the trailer park?
27:56No, but I smelled it.
27:57So what now, bring the detectives up to speed?
27:59Not yet. Let's go to Everest first.
28:02I know what you're thinking, but I'm fine.
28:05You nearly broke that guy's arm.
28:07I was just doing what they taught us in the academy. React quickly, subdue the threat.
28:12He was picking a piece of thread off of your shirt.
28:16And you got triggered.
28:17Yeah, well, what do you know about it?
28:30When you're undercover, you can't let go for even a second.
28:34You have to maintain complete control over your responses.
28:37Read between every glance. It is physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting.
28:43Okay, and what, you slipped up and one of them figured out you were a cop?
28:54I always met my case officer at a bar.
28:57It was the one place that I could go where I could drop the character.
29:02And I could stop strategizing and just have a beer and be myself.
29:08So one night, one beer turned into two, which turned into, I don't know, I lost count.
29:15And if it were any other scenario, I would have sobered up, I would have cut myself off.
29:27Yeah, I wasn't with the crooks.
29:30I was with another cop.
29:35And I trusted him.
29:45I'm so sorry.
29:47Yeah, it was a long time ago, but...
29:50My point is, I shut down.
29:55I didn't even tell my husband.
29:58I just, I kept telling myself that I would deal with it when I was ready.
30:02But with every passing week, it just got worse.
30:05Maybe I pushed you too hard last night.
30:10But I know what it is like when you do not face things head on.
30:13Hey.
30:15Yeah?
30:17You're gonna get through this.
30:20I promise.
30:27What, what happened to him, your case officer?
30:30He fell down a flight of stairs, a few times.
30:33Had to take a disability pension.
30:36You and Chet are close, right?
30:38Yeah, I'd say so.
30:40How is she doing? I mean, really doing?
30:44She's good. Really.
30:47I think she'll be better once she gets to that tattoo room.
30:51Can you imagine that?
30:52Walking around every day branded by the worst thing that's ever happened to her.
30:56I mean, I don't know.
30:58I don't know.
31:00I don't know.
31:01Can you imagine that?
31:02Walking around every day branded by the worst thing that's ever happened to you.
31:05You think because it's physical it's worse?
31:07Tragedies always leave scars.
31:10Only some of them you can see.
31:20That can't be good.
31:21We saw two dead bastards leaving the park when we pulled in there yesterday.
31:24Can't be a coincidence.
31:25Let me guess, they saw a little mess?
31:26A lot of mess.
31:28And they wouldn't take Kylie to a couple of idiots trying to cook and sell in their territory.
31:31So they chuck Heston off of a roof, come back by the park to do the same to Evers, but leave when they see us.
31:36And now they came back to finish the job.
31:38Confiscate any product or cash they find on site.
31:40So what's our next move?
31:41Call in the cavalry and hope nobody gets killed while we're waiting.
31:49Seven out of fifteen in position for recon. Stand by for tactical assessment.
31:52Roger that. We just landed at the staging area around the corner.
31:55SWAT's mobilizing, but I'm not sure we can wait around for them to land.
31:58Set up an OP and then report back to me.
32:01Okay, Bradford and Nolan are hopping the wall to give us eyes inside.
32:05Get ready to move out.
32:25Okay.
32:42Get back here!
32:49Get him back inside!
32:51Sarge, if this thing is going south fast, I definitely don't think we can wait for SWAT.
32:55Copy that. You two proceed to target.
33:00That's my truck.
33:02What?
33:03I lent it to Abigail and Henry to go take a look at wedding venues.
33:07Are you sure?
33:08Yes. They must have come here to see Ellen. Abigail was talking about her last night.
33:15Sarge, we have a new situation.
33:21Where'd he cook?
33:22I don't know.
33:23Try again.
33:25Stop, stop! She doesn't know anything!
33:27Okay, how about you? You know where the kid cooked? Where he kept the cash?
33:31No.
33:32Ma'am, we don't know anything. We're just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
33:36A lot of that going around.
33:41People wandering into territory they got no business in.
33:44Message gotta get sent.
33:46You killed my brother.
33:47Nah, he killed himself, really.
33:49By being stupid enough to wander into the middle of a criminal enterprise like a turkey, staring up at the rain and then drowning.
33:56That's a myth, actually.
33:58What's that?
33:59Turkeys don't actually do that. Look up at the rain and drown.
34:01Okay, okay.
34:02If somebody don't start telling me what it is I need to know right now, then Big Beth is gonna drown you in a toilet.
34:12We're in position.
34:13All units, green light. I repeat, green light.
34:17Okay.
34:40Get on your stomach! Arms out, palms up!
34:47Stay right there.
34:49He's got the seizure device.
35:16Did you check the place?
35:17I did.
35:18Check it again.
35:32The hell you doing back there?
35:45Go, go, go, go, go!
35:46Get on the ground now!
35:47Get on the ground!
35:48Get down!
35:49Right now!
35:52Clear!
35:53All clear.
35:54Got him?
35:55Got him.
35:56Hey, you okay?
35:57What?
35:58Yes, we were okay.
35:59What?
36:04Police!
36:07Down on your knees!
36:08Hands behind your head, fingers laced. Don't move.
36:10Seven out of 19. Two suspects in custody. Code four.
36:17Got him.
36:33It's totally your fault.
36:34This is my fault? How is this my fault? This is all your fault.
36:36Because I like going out. Are you crazy?
36:38You're the one that's putting your job ahead of our relationship.
36:40Because it is not a relationship.
36:41I'm just arm-candy to you and all your celebrity responsibilities.
36:43How do you say that?
36:44Because it's true.
36:46Look, if you're so unhappy, then walk away, okay? I'm not going to stop you.
36:49I know you won't. That's why it's over.
36:51Fine.
37:03You okay?
37:04Yeah, that was hard.
37:09That was awesome.
37:11Honestly, I'm glad we didn't get a chance to rehearse, because first take, always the best.
37:15I know, right? I mean, you're such a good actor, I totally believed you were breaking up with me.
37:18Dude, you were incredible. In fact, you were so good, I could probably get you a guest role on the show.
37:21Oh, that's so sweet.
37:23Focus. The public breakup was meant to get you out of the spotlight.
37:27As long as you guys stay off the radar, Jackson's choices in the department stay open.
37:31Right. Sorry, I got carried away.
37:33It's because you're passionate, is what I dig about you.
37:36Hey, you got any of that pizza left at your place? I'm starving.
37:42It was so funny.
37:43Can we go?
37:46I finally found the one thing that makes me not want to be a cop.
37:49Yes, the paperwork is a bitch.
37:52Who's a bitch?
37:53Oh, you're my bitch.
37:54Okay, we go home now.
37:56I have another 30 minutes here, but you guys should take off. I'll meet you at home.
38:00Sure.
38:03Today was scary.
38:05Yes, it was.
38:06Yeah, but you're used to it though, right?
38:08Used to it? No, no, no. Especially not with you two in danger.
38:12But we're trained to deal with our fear.
38:15You know, most people operate in fairly conflict-free environments, so when something shocking happens,
38:21they're overwhelmed and they panic or freeze.
38:24Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.
38:26Exactly. And cops are a little used to getting punched in the mouth.
38:30Conflict is literally in the job description, so we try to recognize fear and not let it paralyze us.
38:36Never thought about it that way.
38:38That man didn't freeze when the bullets started flying.
38:40He jumped on top of me. My hero.
38:45I'm not a hero. I have to tell you something.
38:48I wasn't supportive of you wanting to be a cop.
38:52I asked my dad if he could scare you straight, and he called me out for being selfish.
38:59And he was right.
39:02Oh.
39:03You deserve so much better, and I'll understand if you don't want to marry me anymore.
39:16That escalated quickly.
39:18You're not- you're not upset?
39:22A little. I don't know why you didn't just say something.
39:27But I get it. I'm a bit of a wild card.
39:32You grew up in a stable home with parents who believed in you.
39:36I'm used to people underestimating me.
39:40I just didn't think you were one of them.
39:43But we'll work through it.
39:46You're not getting rid of me that easily.
39:52Proud of you. Proud of both of you.
39:54And I think we should celebrate Henry who found maturity.
40:00This pie.
40:01Now you're talking.
40:02Wait, wait. Don't you have to finish your paperwork?
40:04I'll come in early tomorrow.
40:18Hey. Hi.
40:19You got no quit in you, do you, boo?
40:21No, sir. I get that from you.
40:23I don't think so. You walked in the door this way. It's what makes you so aggravating.
40:28I'm taking that as a compliment.
40:30It was meant to be.
40:32You have a good night.
40:33You too.
40:40You know, I got half a dozen scars. Bullet wounds, knife wounds, broken bottle.
40:48Then there's the ones you can't see.
40:50Isabelle's addiction.
40:52A dad who would tune me up on the regular.
40:55And whether I like it or not, they're a part of me.
40:59I know what you're trying to do, and I appreciate it.
41:02But this is different.
41:04I was tattooed by a sadist who etched my day of death into my skin.
41:09Okay, but you didn't die. You lived.
41:11And now he's the one in the ground.
41:14I'm not trying to tell you what to do with it.
41:17Okay, burn it off. Keep it. Whatever gives you peace.
41:20All I'm trying to do is give you some hard-won perspective.
41:24You can choose to see that tattoo as your greatest failure.
41:29But I see it as proof that you're a survivor.
41:33It wasn't your day of death, Officer Chen.
41:36It was the first day of the rest of your life.
41:40And no one can take that away from you.
41:45Thanks.
41:46Yeah.
41:48You're welcome.
41:52Riding with me tomorrow?
41:55Yes, sir.
41:56Good. Get in early. War bags need restocking.
41:59Okay.
42:26You're welcome.
42:56Damn it.
