01:50Right. It's a stupid question
01:53But but how your body handles a high-stress lifestyle is based on your physiology
01:57Is that a fancy way of saying I'm old?
02:00Well, I mean maybe a little most cops enter the job in their 20s when they can handle the stress hormones and french fries
02:07And french fries by the time the cops are in their 40s. I mean, they're trained in stress management
02:12But you jumped into the deep end. Yeah, but I've handled stress before I mean

05:47I'm living proof of what this job can take from you. If you don't good advice. Thank you
05:53Nick
05:54In the interest of confronting things head-on
05:56Rosalyn said something to me the last time I saw her. I hate to even bring it up. Let it fly
06:01I'm in a good place
06:03She said she had one more secret about you and that it was bad
06:11You warned me not to let her get back into my head and you turned around and let her get into yours
06:18She is playing you John. I'm all out of secrets
06:22That's what I thought. Thank you. I'm sorry. I even mentioned it. You're just practicing what I preached. You're welcome
06:29Getting a dog is a big mistake. I don't remember asking you well tough
06:34It's my job to train you how to succeed and adding a dependent is only gonna distract you. Yeah, how about a cute snuggly dependent?
06:42Not the point
06:44Who's watching the dog while you're working? I paid a neighbor and Jackson's fine with it. Of course, I wouldn't be she should have asked me
06:52Did you say anything?
06:53Everything she went through absolutely not. Then what are you complaining about? She should have consulted me. I'm a roommate probably but it's her apartment
07:02She's the one on the lease. So you're saying I'll have a leg to stand on pretty much
07:07Just face it you don't like dogs
07:10Wrong. I love dogs. I just think there are a lot of responsibility and I'm not sure you're ready for it
07:15Oh, but you were when you were my age
07:18At your age, I've done two tours in Afghanistan and Iraq the second in charge of a squad of ten soldiers
07:27Nothing police
07:32You're too late it's gone. Yes, we had a call about a peeping Tom
07:39Wendy loves to tan in the morning last few days. This drone has shown up hovering overhead spying on her
07:46Well, we can put out an alert but drones can be tricky to track down it's bad enough guys are constantly hitting on her whenever
07:52We go out now. She's not even safe in her own home. You guys don't believe me
07:57It's like a gravitational pull and he has no control over
08:02Honey, they say they can't do anything about the drone
08:06I'm sure that's not true. The next time I tan you can come watch
08:12Oh
08:14Ma'am are you hitting on my wife? What? No get the hell out of my house sir now
08:27Don't freak out
08:28They ran out of falafel who the hell runs out of falafel
08:32What'd you give me shawarma? Did you get hot sauce? I bet you
08:38Looks like happy hour came early
08:41Sir, have you been drinking?
08:44Rainbow lozenge hidey-hole
08:46Rainbow lozenge hidey-hole forget booze. That's an ecstasy written all over it that manscape or acid
08:52Sorry, just put your hands on your back
08:55Sir, are you okay?
08:59Whoa
09:03So, can you tell us what happened to you hamster puddle tortilla things been shot hamster puddle tortilla
09:10715 in pursuit of robbery suspect
09:15White male in purple pants
09:19In there
09:40Clear
09:55Clear
09:58Show me your hands. Oh, I'll move you down on the ground face down
10:08What'd you touch a dead body
10:28You
10:31He's incredibly lucky the damage isn't worse the bullet appears to have lodged itself in his speech Center
10:37It's not a young orange Beyonce. Is that why he's talking nonsense?
10:40It's not nonsense to him. The bullet is causing aphasia where the words he intends to say and what actually comes out are different
10:48Well, it's small envy. You were shot in the head. Mr. Hollenbach. We're getting you prepped for surgery
10:53We're gonna need that bullet once it's removed
10:55I can tell the surgeon but there is a chance that we may need to leave it in even with a bullet
10:59I'll doubt we'll find the shooter
11:01Why not?
11:02the best explanation for the impact angle and lack of killing velocity is that some idiot fired his gun into the air and the gravity
11:08Brought it down in daddy's skull and given the math of ballistics
11:11We're looking at a firing radius of almost a mile which in Los Angeles is a suspect pool of several thousand suspects. Oh
11:19Oh
11:21Here I am thinking I could take it slow my first day back
11:27Broken neck
11:28Yeah, and it wasn't an accident
11:30That lump at the top of his back avulsion of the vertebrae his neck was snapped by someone who knew what they were doing
11:36Time of death. We're still waiting on the coroner to arrive, but I checked his legs based on lividity
11:42I'm guessing 12 hours or so. You can't miss the scene yet. Not yet
11:46Okay, why don't you start that detective Harper and I'll finish up here divide and conquer don't
11:51Hey
11:53Any idea? No, just this
11:59Soup kitchen voucher
12:01He was homeless. His clothes are new. Yep, brand-new transient coming into money. It would definitely make him a target check a street wallet
12:10Homeless folks sometimes keep their valuables in their shoes
12:16Hmm
12:22Props must be given hotel room key. There we go
12:36Excuse me. Hey, what's up?
12:39Do you know who owns this camera you're working on? I need to get a hold of the footage. I
12:43Could give you a name, but it'd be a waste of your time
12:45Cam has been broken for a week. That's why they called me out. I was just swapping in a new one
12:51But I grabbed the case. I'm sorry. Hey, does that thing work? I've been thinking about buying one. Oh, I just got it
12:57I'm supposed to Nolan. Hey, let's go
13:03We found a key card on the victim from an SRO downtown Armstrong's meeting us there
13:07No, yeah, I'll be right there
13:10Where my apartment?
13:12Not unless it's a crime scene
13:16Oh, no, oh my god
13:23Kojo what did you do?
13:30How did you do that, come on
13:45This is Jackson's varsity jacket, he's gonna be so upset. I don't really have to say anything. Do I I'd rather you didn't
13:55Manager said our victim checked in three days ago under the name Joe de la Cruz paid a week in cash
14:01You go in yet and ruin the surprise. It's always better to not enter a scene alone
14:06So no one can accuse you of malfeasance later. Exactly
14:16I
14:18Look like Joe went on quite the shopping spree. Yeah
14:23New clothes shoes
14:28Two different sizes
14:30Nothing's like a clue
14:32I'm guessing the manager didn't mention someone staying with Joe
14:34This is not the kind of establishment that pays that kind of attention on cash used to be about five or six grand
14:40I
14:44Sorry wrong room
15:00Said not a 15-foot pursuit of suspect 29 100 spring white male

16:32Resisting arrest for starters. The rest is up to the DA
16:35Right and how exactly
16:37Did the cops end up in my hotel room? She can't tell you that. Yeah, but you can't I
16:44Can't be in violation of the victim's privacy
16:48victim
16:52What happened to Joe it's Joe, right I've already said too much
16:57Too easy dead
16:59Detectives will come speak with you shortly
17:01Mitch inside
17:04I
17:12Doesn't seem to like you very much. I'm the reason he lost his leg
17:19My son was attacked so you need to go down there get the guy and arrest him poor guy my psycho neighbor
17:27He shot my son's drone down. Is that right? Yeah, guess what? We got video proof
17:32Show them the the video from the drone camera dad. It's okay. It's not a big deal. Can we just go?
17:37No, show the cop the damn video
17:40I
17:56Can explain there's no need it's got good taste and Wendy is hot sir, what your son did was actually illegal
18:10One second
18:14Lopez West I
18:16Just saw two crimes sitting in my office Bradford and chins peeping Tom and your gunshot victim
18:23You just saying
18:25You guys don't really think I killed him, right? We don't know anything. That's why we're talking to you
18:29Yeah, me said that Joe died from internal decapitation
18:33He suffered spinal trauma from an acute compression injury
18:38Someone who knew how snapped his neck was me
18:46With the money under the mattress come from a couple days ago Joe comes to me says he found
18:52fortunate cash
18:53In this building. He's looking to
18:56Millions of dollars stacked high on pallets millions
19:02And a bunch of machinery
19:05guarded by some
19:07Heavy-duty guys with serious weaponry, but he managed to steal something. I share the money with you because we were tight
19:15He's a fellow vet. You got a taste of the rich life
19:19Decided you want the rest of the money for yourself?
19:21We took 10 grand
19:23We burned through half of that in a day. Look I
19:27Try to tell him not to go back there for more
19:30He got lucky the first time
19:33And I should have gone with him because he would have gone with me
19:44So the money we found in Joe's hotel room was counterfeit, are you sure that's fake I've seen but it's definitely a fake
19:50You say where it came from building downtown. So there's millions more
19:55The machines Joe saw could they have been printers
20:03I
20:07Was abandoned it's probably intentional if I were printing millions of dollars, I'd want to stay below the radar
20:12All right, look sharp. These guys are ex-military. They're gonna put up a fight
20:33You
20:42Not exactly the counterfeit money-making operation we were sold on still believe your army buddy story. Yeah, I do
20:50They must have cleared out of here after Joe's murder
20:52You
21:00Find something
21:03Yeah
21:05The name of a security company, but I know this I've seen it somewhere
21:09This morning when I was canvassing it was on the side of the van
21:12The worker with the van was fixing the camera across the street from where Joe was killed
21:17He said the camera had been down for a week. Do you have a name? No, I thought it was a dead end
21:22I have no body
21:26Okay
21:35That's it he must have taken down the camera so we couldn't trace it we should run his face through the database
21:44Hey, sir, we are here we're in the building it's empty
21:47We're about to call in TID negative you're to exit the building immediately and come back to the station
21:53Sir, shut it down and get back here now
22:01Call from the chief
22:03Your search warrant rang an alarm way up the food chain. So we're just supposed to walk away from a murder investigation
22:09No, but you can't follow it down this path and what that path leads us to our killer
22:12So
22:16What are we into search I
22:19Don't know and I pushed hard to find out but this comes from on high and it's non-negotiable. Let's take the night
22:26We were a group in the morning
22:29That's it hey this isn't right no, but it's a direct order
22:38So that's it
22:41You walk away if we're smart
22:45That's not a yes
22:51What do you think this is clearly a federal operation that we don't have enough information to know how to proceed
23:00So we get more how do we get insight in a federal operation boot
23:05We call LA clear
23:08You sure? Yeah, I owe Mitch that much
23:12You remember the personal questions. They ask you for clearance, right? Yeah
23:16Maybe you should all step outside. Not a chance. I think

24:36Will you take him for a walk Jackson? Hello?
24:52I'm free to go. So I mean you got the guys that killed Joe not yet, but you found the money
24:58No, it was gone we're working leads so what now now you go home
25:07I'm I'm sorry that I can help you find a bed in the shelter. You really want to do something for me
25:13You find out who killed Joe
25:15He was a good guy. He served his country with honor
25:19He didn't deserve to go out like that
25:21He didn't deserve to go out like that
25:26Sorry, I have to answer this she'll escort you out you take care of yourself. That's Tim Bradford
25:44The DIA operation Defense Intelligence Agency
25:47That's national security
25:49La clear tell you anything else. It's a contact name Colonel Norman Jenga's
25:54The hell is the National Security Agency doing counterfeiting money? This is way bigger than we thought we should take the night
26:00Like gray said and see how we are feeling in the morning Harper's right
26:04Conducting an off-the-books operation is high risk on a good day. This ain't a good day
26:18Hmm
26:41Hey pal, we need to talk
26:48You invite me in how about you tell me who you are first
26:55Right now I'm your friend John and that's a good thing because you don't want me as an enemy
27:02Don't invite me in
27:11Nice place
27:13Done good work fixing it out. I'd expect no less based on your history. I
27:19See your play
27:21Come in walk around sir dominance
27:24very nice
27:26So tell me who is Colonel Norman Jenga's a name and a form nothing more, but you are DIA
27:32Yeah, but my team operates in the shadows. We do stuff. No one wants to admit
27:38So why come from me?
27:40Cuz you're the weak link
27:44Bradford served two tours in country
27:46Harper's taken on cartels and
27:49intense survived a serial killer
27:51you
27:53built houses
27:56And you always push on the weak link so
28:01I'm pushing
28:05What do you want to warn you and your little cop buddies just leave this alone
28:13Calling LA clear big mistake
28:17Let it be your last. All we want is whoever killed Joe Dela Cruz the homeless guy
28:23Why he was a human being the man was a soldier. He sacrificed the time I was understand something here
28:30We're on the same team you me Joe
28:34We make sacrifices on the daily to save people's lives. I just do it on a more
28:39Global scale than you and that's why it's okay for you to murder people their casualties in every war
28:46you just
28:48Really don't want the next one to be you
28:50You
29:04Get the tracking device on his car, yeah, I can follow him wherever he goes great. Let's hit the road. No
29:11This is a two-person job
29:13Harper and I got it from here screw that you go we go
29:17That's admirable really, but if this thing goes sideways we could face demotion suspension even jail
29:23Look, I've got a golden ticket Bradford has an unblemished record odds are we can weather the storm
29:29Rookies are at will employees. They don't even need a reason to fire you. Okay. Well with all due respect
29:35I've been buried alive by a serial killer
29:38This rabbit hole does not scare me
29:40I love this job more than I imagined I could the day I stopped giving it my all is the day I walk away
29:48All right, let's roll and hope you leave this to the money
29:52You
30:16We're in position
30:18Why are you the reason Mitch lost his leg?
30:25Because I let him slide on something.
30:28It doesn't matter what, just that I cut him a break.
30:32When I shouldn't have him because I did, he went back out on patrol.
30:36Got blown up.
30:38That is the most Tim Bradford thing I've ever heard.
30:42You showed humanity. There's nothing to feel guilty about.
30:45Rules matter, Boone.
30:49Then what the hell are you doing out here?
30:53Some things matter more.
30:55Bradford, Chen, let's go.
30:57Hang on. First lesson in black ops, make sure the lights don't come on when you open the door.
31:15That's got to be the pallets of money.
31:42That's got to be the pallets of money. Waiting to put it on a ship to who knows where.
31:46Should we call Long Beach PD?
31:48Not yet.
31:49Why not?
31:50For one thing, we don't know if that's the counterfeit money. Pallets are covered.
31:54We've only got one shot at this. We absolutely cannot be wrong.
31:57So we confirm it's the counterfeit money before we call in the cavalry.
32:01Use the arrest to figure out who killed Joe.
32:03Exactly.
32:04So how do we do that?
32:06No idea.
32:12Something's up.
32:21They're getting a new forklift.
32:31Now's our chance. Let's move.
32:41I'll take it from here. Watch my six.
33:11You'll be dead before you break leather.
33:42John, what the hell?
33:45I warned you.
33:46You did.
33:47You didn't listen.
33:49I didn't.
33:50I'm disappointed.
33:52Thought you were smart.
33:53No. Smart ones might T.O.
33:56She plans for everything.
34:01It's a .50 Cal.
34:08I don't need to tell you what that bullet will do to your body.
34:11Hey, Pettigrew.
34:13Didn't we face this exact scenario down in Columbia?
34:17Yeah. We're all still here.
34:19Because it's a no-win situation.
34:22If you're a shooter, it turns me into mist.
34:24My guys turn you into organ donors.
34:26So what we need is a negotiated settlement.
34:29I'm listening.
34:31One of you killed Joe De La Cruz.
34:34You give him up, we walk away.
34:37And the money?
34:39Not our problem.
34:41Not our problem.
34:55Fine.
34:57Pettigrew.
34:59Surrender yourself.
35:01What?
35:03After everything we've been through, he's going to turn me in like that?
35:06Your sloppiness jeopardized our operation, so you are being sacrificed for the greater good.
35:11But, all they have is circumstantial evidence.
35:15So keep your mouth shut, listen to the lawyer, and you'll be on no time.
35:20Yes, sir.
35:31We good?
35:36Yeah.
35:44All right, let's get this done.
35:46What happens with the money?
35:48It'll fund black ops for the next five years.
35:51The U.S. government spends billions in covert operations.
35:54I bet Bradford here watched backpacks full of ghost money being handed out in Afghanistan.
36:00I did.
36:02See, that money has to be authorized and tracked.
36:04But counterfeit money doesn't.
36:06We printed freedom.
36:08All right, let's wrap this up.
36:16Let me get this straight.
36:20You all just happen to be taking a stroll on the docks.
36:24And Joe De La Cruz's killer appears and turns himself in.
36:28Yes, sir.
36:30And when the chief calls me tomorrow screaming-
36:32He won't.
36:37I'm going back to bed.
36:39Paperwork on this better be spotless.
36:42Yes, sir.
36:57Where's the dog?
36:59Gone.
37:01Really?
37:03Yeah.
37:04Yeah.
37:06It wasn't fair to you and I'm really not ready for a dog yet.
37:12I'm sorry about your stuff.
37:18Look, I'm sorry too.
37:21I actually like Kojo.
37:25Did he go to a good home?
37:28Yeah, he did.
37:35What's up?
37:37Close the door.
37:43You're lucky.
37:45You had a good outcome last night.
37:48But no matter how good your intentions are,
37:51going off the books always comes back to bite you.
37:55I'm sorry.
37:57I'm sorry.
37:59I'm sorry.
38:01I'm sorry.
38:02Going off the books always costs you.
38:06The law matters, Nolan.
38:10The second you start thinking you know better, you risk losing yourself.
38:14Nick.
38:16I lied to you yesterday.
38:18There is one more secret.
38:21I broke the rules to catch Rosalind.
38:23I went into her house without a warrant and used what I found there to get one.
38:28Somehow she knew.
38:30She never said anything.
38:32Would you have gone free if she had?
38:34No.
38:36At this point, we'd caught her red-handed.
38:38But if she hadn't been, if she'd gone free because I crossed the line,
38:42I never would have forgiven myself.
38:46Don't put yourself in that situation, you hear me?
38:51You don't want that kind of stress.
38:54No, I don't.
38:56Thank you for telling me.
38:58I see you caught him.
39:00Yeah.
39:03Yeah.
39:05Mitch.
39:08What's this?
39:10First Congregational needs a live-in guard.
39:13I put in a good word for you.
39:15Look, it's not a handout, alright? It's a job.
39:19And a roof over your head.
39:21Thanks.
39:23You're welcome.
39:28It's not your fault, you know?
39:29You know what happened to me?
39:32It's nobody's fault.
39:37Take care of yourself, Mitch, alright?
39:41Come on.
39:49Not a word.
39:56You were supposed to wear this all week.
39:57You were supposed to wear this all week.
39:59I actually think it was causing me more stress.
40:01You have to find a way to listen to your body.
40:04I just had a patient who had been feeling off for a couple weeks.
40:08He didn't go to the doctor.
40:10We found a tumor.
40:12And we caught it just in time.
40:14Because he listened to his body?
40:16No, I mean a bullet fell from the sky and punctured his skull.
40:19When we did the x-ray we found a mass.
40:22I mean that bullet saved his life.
40:24So the moral of the story is?
40:25Don't count on a stray bullet to save your life.
40:28Sound medical advice.
40:31You need to find yourself a de-stressor.
40:33That's two morals.
40:35I actually did some research though.
40:37And I did find a couple of ways that I think I could reduce my stress.
40:40Okay.
40:42One of them though, I think I would need your help.
40:45Of course.
40:47You get sweaty.
40:49Really?
40:51I like sweaty.
40:53What exactly do you have in mind?
40:55A gun.
40:57My gun.
40:59I thought I had a gun.
41:01A gun.
41:05Oh yeah.
41:07What?
41:09No, I don't have a gun.
41:11Okay.
41:13Here you go.
41:14No, thank you.
41:16Okay.
41:18Here you go.
41:20Oh man, this is gonna be a great day.
41:22Yeah.
41:23Damn it.
