00:00♪ Everybody gather round, it's time to break through the ups and downs ♪
00:06Professor Ryan.
00:08Oh, Officer Nolan, little late for class, don't you think?
00:11My apologies for missing the exam. I got stuck at work, last minute call, armed robbery.
00:16Is everyone alright?
00:17Yes, thank you, but about the exam, is there any way I could make that up?
00:21I made my policy clear on the first day, a missed test is a failed test.
00:25Yes, you also said in your first lecture that strict law is often great injustice. Cicero.
00:32Oh, okay. Well, if you want an exception, you'll need to earn it.
00:36Tell me what I have to do.
00:38You have to answer one legal question.
00:39Okay, that's easy.
00:41Um, a woman witnesses a stabbing in a nightclub.
00:46She's pretty sure the assailant is black and that he has a scar on his right arm.
00:52Wait, she's sure that he has a scar on his right arm, but not sure that he's African American?
00:55Did I say African American?
00:57Right, black, sorry.
00:58Mm-hmm. Uh, there are over 400 club goers, so it's going to take a while to interview them all.
01:05And the longer you wait...
01:07The more their memories will have a chance to degrade, and it will give the assailant a chance to destroy any evidence.
01:11And if you do not find the culprit tonight, you probably never will.
01:14So who do you round up to question?
01:17A. All the black men. B. All the men, regardless of color. Or C. Everyone.
01:25Are there any more facts? This isn't really easy to answer based on what you've given me.
01:30Well, this is not an easy class.
01:32Get me the right answer by end of day tomorrow, and I will let you make up the exam.
01:37Right, thank you. I will.
01:48Hey, sorry to do this by text, but it's just not working with us.
02:12Yeah, what's going on?
02:13Well, I set up a lunch for you with the head of the mass security detail.
02:17There's a driver position opening, higher profile, better pay, and it'll get you to I.A. faster.
02:22Thank you, but, um, I'm just not sure that's where I want to end up, you know?
02:28Well, I thought after the Doug Stanton situation, you'd be motivated to clean up the department.
02:32You want to be where you can do the most good, right?
02:34Yeah, yeah, of course, but...
02:35Then it's settled.
02:39I can't believe him.
02:40I know. Maneuvering me to I.A. like I have no say in it.
02:42No, not your dad, Emmett. Breaking up with me by text? What is he, 14? He doesn't have the guts to do it in person?
02:47Most guys don't. Look, just be happy he didn't ghost you.
02:50Can we get to work now?
02:51Did Emmett talk to you about this?
02:53No, why would he?
02:54Because you're friends.
02:55We don't talk feelings. We drink and watch sports together.
02:58That's guy for friends.
02:59Well, straight guy for friends.
03:01Look, you want my advice? Walk it off. He's clearly not the right guy for you.
03:06That is the same advice he would give me if I got hit by a pitch. What is wrong with men?
03:10So much. Look, I'm really sorry to hear that, but I will pick up some tequila and ice cream on the way home,
03:17and we can listen to my breakup playlist on repeat and maybe throw a few little shady prank calls at Emmett.
03:23Thanks.
03:24Here you go. Change of clothes, prenatal vitamins, antacid, anti-gas, ginger chews, and magnesium supplements.
03:30I've never loved you more.
03:32Have you heard anything from the kidnapper?
03:34Have you heard anything from the kidnappers?
03:36Not since the last ransom demand, but I'm waiting on DNA results from the crime scene.
03:40Hopefully they come in before I get back to the Abassi house.
03:43How's Judge Abassi holding up?
03:45As well as can be, I suppose, considering his son was abducted.
03:49You've argued in front of him. You know anyone who want revenge?
03:52Every criminal who ever stepped foot in his court. Half the lawyers.
03:56I'm gonna need more clothes.
03:59DNA results?
04:01No, it's your mom texting me again.
04:03Yeah, sorry, she wants to talk about the baby's trust fund.
04:06Whatever the question is, my answer is yes.
04:08That has been well established, but believe me, there are complications to having money.
04:13Like always being able to pay the rent or buy food?
04:16Like having a child kidnapped for ransom.
04:21Finally, my DNA results.
04:25Um, I gotta get changed. You can handle your mom, right?
04:29Yeah, Mom, you're breaking up. I'm gonna have to call you back.
04:32Perfect. Love you.
04:34I love you too.
04:38I need a couple of unis on my kidnapping case. Could you spare Harper and Nolan?
04:41Sure thing. What do you need them for?
04:43I'm running down a lead. I have a conflict of interest.
04:46Something I should know about?
04:47Not yet.
04:48Okay, I'll call Harper and Nolan back in.
04:50Actually, have them meet me at the Abassi house.
04:52Will do.
04:53Appreciate it.
04:55Looking good, Officer West.
04:57Don't always, Detective Lopez.
04:59So, Officer West, I've decided who it is you'll be riding with today.
05:02Great. Who's the lucky officer?
05:04Me.
05:05Sir?
05:06Considering your upcoming graduation from the FTO program,
05:09I thought it'd be a good idea if we talked about your future in the department.
05:12Funny. Just had a similar conversation with my dad.
05:15Did he enlist you to help steer me to IA?
05:17No. IA is not the right path for you.
05:20But you know what it is.
05:21Yes, I do.
05:23Now, go set up our shop.
05:30If you were to single out all the black men for questioning,
05:33it wouldn't be technically profiling,
05:36because the added element that they were all in the building
05:39when the crime was committed makes it legally okay, right?
05:42It's a dark, crowded bar. Are we sure the witness even saw a black guy?
05:45No. The witness wasn't definitive.
05:47So, what's the answer?
05:49Well, you're going about this all wrong.
05:51It's not about finding the right answer.
05:53It's about finding the answer that she wants.
05:55Or the one that she doesn't want.
05:57I can't imagine she'd think me worthy of retesting
05:59if all I said was a question of the black men.
06:02Why? Because she's black?
06:03Yeah, right?
06:05What?
06:07She could just be testing you.
06:09To see if you'd censor yourself with her to curry favor.
06:13Hey, let me bring you up to speed.
06:16This is Austin Abbasi, age 20.
06:19Son of Judge William Abbasi.
06:21Three days ago, Austin was kidnapped from his apartment in Hollywood.
06:24The kidnappers sent an untraceable email demanding a $100,000 ransom.
06:27On Thursday night, a backpack full of cash was left at the designated drop-off spot,
06:31but Austin wasn't returned.
06:33Let me guess. They came up with the $100,000 so fast the kidnappers wanted more?
06:36A million. That's when the judge finally called the police.
06:39We processed the crime scene.
06:40A female DNA sample was found on an empty beer bottle.
06:43Did you get a match?
06:44She's not in our system, but a familial DNA test to determine the sample
06:48comes from the offspring of someone we currently have behind bars.
06:51Someone I can't interview because of a conflict of interest.
06:58Oscar?
06:59You've got to be kidding me.
07:00I'm guessing your conflict of interest is that he stabbed your fiancee.
07:03Technically, my conflict is a desire to kill him for that.
07:06But you wouldn't really.
07:07I'm pregnant. Don't try me.
07:08Okay, so wait. Oscar has a daughter?
07:11Not according to any official records. In fact, I can't find any records of a relationship.
07:15That doesn't surprise me. Oscar is too much of a narcissist to keep a girlfriend.
07:19What's going on?
07:20Did something happen?
07:22Judge Abbasi, Mrs. Abbasi, this is Detective Harper and Officer Nolan.
07:26They're going to be running down a lead regarding this man, Oscar Hutchinson.
07:29He's currently serving 40 years at Cal Correctional for multiple violent felonies.
07:33Harper and Nolan will be going to the prison to question him.
07:36Whatever resources you need, you'll have them.
07:39Yes, and if there is a deal to be made, please make it.
07:43We need Austin back safely.
07:45Well, the good news is, with Oscar, there's always a deal to be made.
07:51Sir, feel free to call us if this stereo gets that loud again.
07:56Have you ever been dumped out of the blue before?
07:58Let me think.
08:00One time, my wife left the house in the middle of the night, and I didn't see her again for two years.
08:05Okay, I get it. In the grand scheme of things, this isn't that bad.
08:08I just want to know why. Can you please ask?
08:13Somebody tagged our shop?
08:16It can't be.
08:18It's been almost a decade.
08:20Since what?
08:22No, it's definitely him.
08:24The color palette, the angle of the letters.
08:27What is happening right now?
08:34Get back up, get up, go get it!
08:36Control, 7 out of 19, I got an on-view felony, 594.
08:40Send in a command post at Pico and La Brea.
08:42Strive me to have units for a six-block perimeter.
08:44Canvas team, forensics team, air support, notify the press information officer.
08:49Oscar has to be behind this kidnapping somehow, right?
08:52No record of any female visitors, and none of his mail has ever referenced a daughter.
08:56So either Oscar's been keeping her a secret from us...
08:58Then why do that?
08:59Or he's unaware that she even exists.
09:01Which presents a clear argument for nature over nurture as a predicate for criminal behavior.
09:05If she's involved in the kidnapping at all,
09:08and not just some kid who had a beer at Austin's apartment and went home before he got grabbed.
09:11There's so many unknowns, and I for one am confident that Oscar's gonna answer all of them.
09:17I'm kidding, he's gonna be a giant pain in the ass.
09:21Hey, it's my two favorite police officers.
09:23As you can see, we've mostly cleaned up the place after the riot.
09:27It's really hard to get brains out of cinder block.
09:29I guess you'd know.
09:30You don't get a lot of visitors, do you?
09:32I'm not sure what the point would be.
09:34I'm not going out of here on my feet.
09:36Unless you come bearing a pardon.
09:38No such luck.
09:39Then what are you doing here asking questions about visitors?
09:42DNA turned up at a crime scene that links directly to you.
09:46But you have been in here, so...
09:48What are the matches in the polymorphic markers?
09:50You learn a lot about DNA in my line of work.
09:52Six out of thirteen.
09:54That's first degree relative.
09:57Since both my folks are dead, and I'm an only child...
10:03I got a kid.
10:05What do you do?
10:06She is connected to a kidnapping.
10:08A way to go.
10:09You really had no idea you were a father?
10:11No.
10:14Wow.
10:15That's a lot to process.
10:16Well, all this time I had an organ donor on the outside.
10:19I'm going to really hit that prison hooch harder now.
10:21Okay, I'm going to need you to make a list of every woman that could be the mother.
10:26Yeah.
10:27That's not going to be that easy.
10:29I don't like to brag, but I was quite popular back in the day.
10:33All right, on to the next thing.
10:35Hold up now.
10:36Hold.
10:37Um, a drive around my old haunts might really jog the memory.
10:42Forget it.
10:43You got to give to get, detective.
10:44You want help?
10:45I want a day pass.
10:46You're going to do it.
10:47Because we both know you wouldn't have driven all the way out here if you had any other leads.
10:55Road trip.
10:59Judge Abasi must have friends in high places to get this approved so fast.
11:02You know Austin's going to try to wrap it the first chance he gets, right?
11:05We're not going to give him that chance.
11:13They say fashion is cyclical.
11:15Think this is coming back in?
11:17Yeah, that's going to take a few more cycles.
11:19I am happy to see they updated your look with some modern jewelry.
11:22All right, so here's how this is going to work.
11:24You stop cooperating, it's back to prison.
11:26You mislead us, it's back to prison.
11:28You say a joke that I don't really think is funny, it's back to prison.
11:32I'm sensing a pattern.
11:33You try to escape, it's back to prison.
11:35Maybe by way of the emergency room.
11:37No, that's not how we roll.
11:39But Judge Abasi might not be as dispassionate.
11:41And I bet he can get you transferred to a supermax just as easily as he got you out on furlough.
11:46There's no reason to be like that.
11:48We're a team.
11:49So where's my stuff?
11:55All the names and numbers of my conquests are right on here.
11:59You got a charger?
12:01When was the last time someone went through this?
12:06I could get a few bucks for this on eBay.
12:08Keep looking.
12:12For Lila.
12:13Ah, this is the charger.
12:16Juice this baby up in the car while we're getting an early lunch.
12:20It's cruel and unusual punishment to deprive a prisoner of his freedom.
12:23Start boobing.
12:24Well, the Three Eyes was active from 2006 to 2010.
12:27Victims all over the city.
12:28Just when I thought I got close to catching him, he stopped.
12:31I thought maybe he died or got arrested on other charges.
12:34I still check VCAP every three months to see if he pops up in another city.
12:37He must have been a seriously hardcore guy for you to be obsessed like that.
12:40What was his main crime?
12:43This.
12:45He's a tagger.
12:46He wants to see hundreds of people.
12:48He wants to see hundreds of people.
12:50He's a tagger.
12:51He wants to see hundreds of thousands of dollars.
12:54And property damage.
12:55It doesn't explain why you were so obsessed with...
12:58Hold on.
13:00Three Eyes tagged your shop?
13:02Back when you were a rookie?
13:04My T.O. was chasing a suspect.
13:06I was guarding a vehicle full of evidence.
13:08A vehicle that was ten feet away from your shop?
13:12It was right under your nose.
13:13I was ordered to keep my eyes on the car.
13:16I just left the army.
13:17Will you follow orders to a T?
13:18Oh man, I could just imagine the relentless teasing.
13:20Did they give you a nickname? Please say yes.
13:22No.
13:23That's why you're so intent on catching this guy.
13:25It's personal.
13:26He's a criminal and it's our job to stop him.
13:28I mean, the statute of limitations on these crimes ran out years ago.
13:32Even if we were to track him down for tagging our shop,
13:35it's a misdemeanor.
13:37Is that really the best use of our time?
13:41I will get us a fresh shop.
13:45Colleen, this is Oscar.
13:47Hey.
13:48Listen, is there any chance I knocked you up in the late 90s?
13:53Hello?
13:58Sasha.
14:00Baby.
14:01It's Oscar.
14:05Okay, I'm gonna take that one as a no.
14:08Hello?
14:09Betty.
14:10I'm thinking about you.
14:11You know, I've been just thinking of you too.
14:12Okay, put it on speaker.
14:14We always tore it up, didn't we?
14:16Sure as hell did.
14:18Listen, um, is there any chance you and I had a kid together?
14:22No, but I'm down to try.
14:24I still have a few eggs left in me.
14:26Well, listen, they give me conjugal visits.
14:28Okay, you know what? That's it.
14:30Are you there?
14:31This is not a dating service.
14:33If you are not helping, you are going back.
14:38Baby, I'll call you back.
14:42Look, if it's not Betty, it's probably Margaret.
14:45She works at a diner, like, I don't know, ten blocks or so from here.
14:48Worth a shot, right?
14:51Fine.
14:58I think you should teach at the academy.
15:01I mean, yeah, sure, when I'm Nolan's age.
15:05They need you now.
15:07The good you can do as a teacher is exponential.
15:10I know it's not what you were picturing, but keep an open mind.
15:12Once you hit P2, I can steer you to assignments that will help prepare you to teach.
15:17I'm obviously grateful for your faith in me.
15:21Great. I'll set up a lunch with a few instructors on Tuesday.
15:24Um, I'm actually supposed to be meeting with the mayor's team on Tuesday.
15:29But I'm sure I could do both.
15:32I'm sorry.
15:38Control, 7 out of 7, have an on-view 594 tagging in progress at South Red Pond Olympic.
15:57Sir, are you okay?
15:59I'm good, go!
16:04Officer down, South Red Pond Olympic.
16:06Are you having a heart attack, sir?
16:07No, no, it's my back.
16:08Are you sure?
16:09Yeah, I'm sure.
16:10Is he having a heart attack?
16:11No, it's just my back.
16:12Where's the tagger?
16:13He went left, around the corner.
16:14I stay here and call an ambulance.
16:17Don't move.
16:19Sir, don't get up.
16:28Oh, God!
16:58Oh, God!
17:28Son of a...
17:37Questioning every man at the nightclub would be more palatable.
17:40That's not racial profiling.
17:41But it would take forever.
17:43What I should do is take a photo of everybody holding their IDs as they leave the club.
17:47That way I can circle back.
17:48Yeah, but that's not one of the options.
17:49I know.
17:50Wren versus U.S. Supreme Court says you can profile as much as you want,
17:53as long as there's at least some pretense.
17:55I don't think that's what they meant.
17:57It is what they meant.
17:58I got my law degree online two years ago.
18:00You know I'm licensed to practice in five states and the unincorporated territory of Guam.
18:04Okay, what's your take on this?
18:06There's a stabbing at a nightclub.
18:08The victim says she's pretty sure the suspect is black and he has a scar on his right arm.
18:12Wait a minute, wait a minute.
18:13She's sure about the scar, but only pretty sure that he's black?
18:16That's what I said.
18:17Something's off.
18:19Obviously she's creating a diversion while he's probably in the back robbing the place.
18:23That's what you get for asking a sociopath.
18:28I love the smell of a greasy spoon.
18:30Sit wherever you want.
18:32Oscar?
18:33I thought you were in prison for the next 40 years.
18:36Early release, good behavior.
18:38Seriously?
18:39No, he's helping us with a case and then he's going straight back.
18:42Okay, you're no fun.
18:43Can I have some pie?
18:44Did you and Oscar have a good...
18:46God, no.
18:49Oscar?
18:50I am sorry, do I know you?
18:52You liar!
18:54I am sorry, do I know you?
18:56You lousy...
18:57Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, man.
18:59What's all this about?
19:00You knock me up and disappear and then I find out you're in jail for murder?
19:04Wait, Ashley is Oscar's kid?
19:06You cheated on me with Cindy?
19:08Hold on, I think it's coming back to me.
19:10You son of a...
19:11Ladies, ladies, please, I appreciate how difficult this must be for you,
19:14but right now we need to speak with your daughter.
19:16Is she in trouble?
19:17I hope not, but the sooner we find her, the sooner this guy gets back behind bars.
19:21Let me get a pen.
19:25Sir, don't get up.
19:26I'm such a...
19:27Remind me, which one of us gives the orders?
19:31You do, sir.
19:32Yeah.
19:37Sam?
19:38Oh, you work with Emmett, right?
19:40Yes, and yes.
19:44Is your unconsciousness any point?
19:46No.
19:47Any pain in your chest?
19:48No.
19:49I threw my back out.
19:50It happens two times a year like clockwork.
19:53Well, I still got to take you and make sure there's nothing else.
19:55So, you're going out with Emmett, right?
19:57Was.
19:58Oh, sorry.
19:59Where the hell would he break up with you? You're gorgeous.
20:02Do I really need to be here for this?
20:03No, sir.
20:06I finished canvassing.
20:07No one got a good look at the tag?
20:08We're ready to transport him.
20:10You'll follow?
20:11No, I have to wait for my T.O.
20:13Officer West will take over from here.
20:15Too bad.
20:18Do you want to go out later?
20:19Tonight?
20:20God, yes.
20:21Okay, great.
20:23Jackson, we'll give you my number.
20:26Bye.
20:28What are you doing?
20:29What?
20:30A girl can ask a guy out.
20:31You're not a guy that works with your ex.
20:33That is not why I did that.
20:36No comment.
20:37Poot, let's go.
20:38Not a word about the shop.
20:40Give him my number.
20:41I'll see you.
20:45So, you're my dad, huh?
20:47Mom told me you were a roadie for Matchbox 20.
20:50Better than telling you I was serving 20.
20:52It's more like 40.
20:54How do you know Austin Abbasi?
20:56We're dating a little.
20:58When was the last time you saw him?
21:00I don't know, a week ago, maybe two.
21:02Is he okay?
21:04He's been kidnapped.
21:05And you're lying to us.
21:06I'm not.
21:07Crime scene techs found your DNA on a beer bottle in Austin's apartment.
21:11That DNA wouldn't have survived a week.
21:13You need to come clean.
21:14Right now.
21:15As Ashley's lawyer, I'm going to advise her not to talk to you until we've conferred.
21:19Okay, that's not going to happen because you're not a real lawyer.
21:21And even if you were, there are rules against family representing family.
21:25Wrong.
21:26I pass the bar.
21:27And as far as that being rules, it's more like guidelines.
21:30And even if they were rules, we're family by blood only.
21:33You do not want him as your lawyer.
21:36He's a nine-time loser.
21:37If you tell them anything without first getting advice of counsel, you're guaranteed to do jail time.
21:43Okay.
21:45He's my lawyer.
21:46He's my lawyer.
21:48Could I have a moment alone with my client, please?
22:00So you're in on it?
22:02Maybe.
22:03Come on, kid.
22:04Sniffing out cons is on the family crest.
22:08Okay.
22:09Austin's parents cut him off, so we figured if he was kidnapped, his parents would have to pay up.
22:15Okay, that's not the most original idea, but still, it would be executed properly, I guess.
22:20Where is he now?
22:22Friend's apartment in Culver City.
22:24Okay, I'm going to see you through this.
22:26But you have to insist that I'm with you every step of the way.
22:29They're going to try and separate us.
22:31Okay.
22:32You know, I really can't picture you and Mom together.
22:37You're kidding me.
22:38She was the love of my life.
22:41Officers!
22:46Yeah, what we have here is a victimless crime.
22:50Austin was having a disagreement with his parents about money.
22:53So he faked his own kidnapping?
22:55Not the most original idea.
22:57And not victimless either.
22:59Austin's parents have been going through hell with worry.
23:01Whatever.
23:03They're loaded.
23:05Not a million dollars loaded.
23:07They have been frantically trying to pull money together.
23:10Who said anything about a million?
23:12Austin sent an email asking for a hundred K.
23:13That was delivered yesterday.
23:16And he didn't tell you?
23:18That snake's trying to cut me out.
23:21I'm going to kill him.
23:23That's my girl.
23:25And as your lawyer, I recommend that you refrain from making any kind of threats.
23:28Even in jest.
23:30Do you know where Austin is now?
23:32Yeah.
23:34I don't want to be in handcuffs.
23:37Oh, no one does. You get used to it.
23:44Austin?
23:46That bastard, he must have taken the money and split it.
23:49Everybody freeze.
23:52Control 7, item 15.
23:54Update my call to a suspicious circumstance.
23:56I have blood at the location and the occupant is missing.
23:59Possible 207.
24:01And I need a unit to escort a prisoner back to Cal Correctional.
24:04Uh, wait a minute.
24:06Who else did you tell about your fake kidnapping plan?
24:08Don't answer that.
24:10Your so-called lawyer does not have your best interest at heart.
24:11He is only looking to extend his time out of prison.
24:14If you actually care about Austin, you'll help us find him.
24:17The only way you're going to stay out of prison is by moving your way up the food chain.
24:23Take us to your boss.
24:30You order takeout?
24:32No.
24:42Don't hurt me. I'm...
24:44Police. What's in the bag?
24:46I don't know. It's a Task Fast gig.
24:48Pick it up from A, drop it off at B.
24:50Where was point A?
24:52Car wash. On Melrose.
25:01I'll drain a pint of blood every two hours until I get my million bucks.
25:05Oh, my God.
25:12Angela.
25:14Don't know what to congratulate you on first.
25:16Detective or baby?
25:18As long as your president is letting me keep this case, it doesn't matter.
25:21Ooh, sorry.
25:23Judge Abbasi already reached out to the SAC personally.
25:25My guys are en route.
25:27We'll take it from here.
25:29You should, uh, you should go home.
25:31Get some rest. Put your feet up.
25:34Angela.
25:36Angela.
25:38Angela.
25:40Angela, you're gonna be a mom.
25:42Congratulations.
25:44You know, I recently became a parent myself, if you want any tips.
25:46Oscar Hutchinson?
25:48And you must be the daughter, girlfriend, co-conspirator?
25:52And my client. You can't speak to her alone without me present.
25:55You're a felon. And a family member.
25:58Well, we can stand here arguing about my standing.
26:01Or we can say goodbye to LAPD, go in, make a deal, catch the kidnapper, and have you home by dinner.
26:07All right. Let's go.
26:09Both of you.
26:11Sir, you can't trust him.
26:13This is not my first day, officer.
26:15Listen, it was really nice seeing you two again.
26:18And, Nolan, because you're such a good Samaritan, I'm gonna help you answer that law class question.
26:22The answer is A, detain all the black guys.
26:24Because, well, that's what cops do.
26:28And, Angela, listen, if you need a birth coach, I just got my doula certification.
26:33And, you know, we can negotiate a really good, nice price.
26:36All right, let's go, smart guy.
26:38Good job not killing him.
26:40Thanks. I'm gonna go pack up my stuff.
26:46Yes?
26:48Professor Ryan, it's John Nolan.
26:50Do you have an answer for me?
26:52Not yet. Am I limited to the answers that you gave me?
26:54Yes.
26:56The thing is that description isn't reliable, so as an officer, I'd have to hone in on the other witnesses.
27:00She hung up on me.
27:02This isn't funny.
27:04I'm sorry.
27:05Test.
27:07I know. I'm a suck. I'm a suck.
27:09Where should we go tonight? Do you think he likes sushi?
27:11Everybody likes sushi, right?
27:13What? You disapprove?
27:15You think I'm just dating him to make Emmett jealous?
27:17And, yeah, maybe I am, but he disturbs it.
27:20And it's...
27:22Will you say something? Please?
27:24Today's the first time you've talked about Emmett in weeks.
27:26Well, you hate it when I talk about personal stuff.
27:28Yeah, you still do.
27:30But in all those conversations, you haven't said one word about your boyfriend.
27:33What are you saying?
27:35Look, maybe Emmett treated the relationship like it didn't matter because you treated it like it didn't matter.
27:46Alright, focus up. You read the file.
27:48You think Three Eyes is done for the day?
27:50Um...
27:52No.
27:54He tagged two police cars, but they're already being repainted, and he got interrupted when he tagged that building.
27:59He'll want to throw up a full tag somewhere that makes a statement.
28:03Exactly. And we'll be there to catch him.
28:09Eagle Eye.
28:11What?
28:13The nickname I got.
28:15After the shot got tagged under my nose.
28:17But it wasn't. My T.O. came up with it, and it was Isabel.
28:21It kind of became her pet name for me.
28:23Aw, that's sweet.
28:26Yeah.
28:27Yeah.
28:29Seven Adam 19. Falling accident. 8950 South Ridgely Drive. Injuries unknown.
28:35Seven Adam 19 responding.
28:41Where's Jackson? Cab report said officer's down. He's not answering his cell.
28:45Percy, Jackson's fine. I got hurt. He's just getting us a cup of coffee.
28:49What happened?
28:51Tried to chase down the tagger, threw my back out.
28:53You know you're too old for that. Follow my lead, take a desk job. Pays better.
28:58I hear you've been pushing Jackson toward I.A.
29:01We need him. There's a lot more dugs to weed out.
29:04That's true. But Jackson's in a unique position to make a difference.
29:08So I think he'll have more of an impact at the Academy than I.A.
29:11Well, he's my son. You don't think I know what's best for him?
29:14I know he's your son. I'm not trying to...
29:17You can have my dad. I'll come back once you guys are finished planning my career.
29:23Okay.
29:33Ma'am, don't move. An ambulance is on its way.
29:36I think it's broken.
29:38Uh, Tim?
29:40Just one second. Ma'am, can you tell me exactly what happened?
29:42Eagle eyes. You should look up.
29:50Your three eyes?
29:51What? No.
29:53You tagged my shop. Twice.
29:55Technically three times.
29:57Shut up.
29:59It's not as easy as it used to be.
30:01I'm exhausted.
30:06So I get to participate in the prison garden program.
30:09It's three times a week.
30:11I practically smell the fresh air.
30:13And a case of ginger ale a week, name brand.
30:16Not the discount crap.
30:18Fine. Just tell me who's got Austin.
30:21Where was the proof of life photo taken?
30:23You know, speaking of ginger ale, I'm super dry.
30:26And I have an awful lot to tell you.
30:28Fine. But you're giving it all up when I get back.
30:52You know what we love about you, Oscar?
30:55It's that you're so damn predictable.
31:21So if we charge you with obstruction of justice,
31:23the warden's going to take away all of your privileges.
31:26Fine.
31:28But I want a cupcake. After.
31:31A cupcake?
31:33I heard they've gotten fancy since I went in.
31:35Deal. Now what do you know?
31:37Well, according to my daughter, the only other person that knew about the scam
31:39was Austin's drug dealer, Malcolm Green.
31:42Works out of a chop shop in Sylmar.
31:52All right. We're going to do some recon.
31:54See if you're telling the truth.
31:56No problem. I'll just hang out here by myself.
31:58Maybe I'll take a nap.
32:00Oh, come on, Oscar.
32:02We've been through far too much for you to pretend
32:04like you're not just trying to escape the second we turn our back.
32:08So we got you a babysitter.
32:11That's the guy you want me to watch?
32:13Yep. Give me your handcuff keys.
32:15What?
32:17So he doesn't trick you into letting him go.
32:19Like that could happen.
32:22Fine.
32:25If you hear gunshots, call in the cavalry.
32:28But do not leave him.
32:30You should tell Oscar about your plans to become a DJ.
32:33Happy to.
32:35Too harsh?
32:37For Oscar? No.
32:52It's time to send the judge another package.
32:54Go get a pot of blood from the kid.
32:56That's the same as a leader, right?
32:58Or should I know? I don't speak metric.
33:01But a plane's definitely less than a cord.
33:03Dude, same last time. Come on. Right?
33:07I don't see Austin, but I think we're running out of time.
33:10These two idiots are going to kill him without meaning to.
33:12Control, 7 Adam 15. We have the 207 suspects.
33:15We have exigent circumstances.
33:17We are making entry.
33:19I need code 3 backup. Notify the supervisor.
33:21Copy.
33:52Whoa. I've only seen that in movies.
33:57I'm going to buy a Porsche.
33:59And a stripper.
34:01Two strippers.
34:03What are you going to do with your money?
34:05Dude! Quit it!
34:07He doesn't look so good.
34:09He looks better than you.
34:11He's fine.
34:13He doesn't look fine.
34:16Well, I don't know.
34:18I don't know.
34:20Well, I earned more money than I did last year in that auto thing we did.
34:25Two dollars.
34:50It must have been a ghost or something.
34:53My grandma told me this story about this ghost that was haunting toilets.
34:57Grandma?
34:59Really creepy stuff, man.
35:01Out there type stuff.
35:03Police!
35:04Now!
35:05Get down on the ground!
35:06Hand on the ground!
35:07Drop it right now!
35:08Right now!
35:09Drop it!
35:10Get down on the ground!
35:11Down on your knees!
35:12Interlace your fingers.
35:15You got them?
35:16Got them.
35:17Got them?
35:18Got them.
35:21Seven out of fifteen.
35:23We got cold feet.
35:24Seems clear for EMTs.
35:26Twenty-five year old male. Unconscious.
35:28But breathing.
35:30Heavy blood loss.
35:32Okay, Austin.
35:33You're going to be alright, buddy.
35:34We got help on the way.
35:41You said you were going to make a deal.
35:44That I wouldn't see the inside of a jail cell.
35:47Yeah.
35:49Am I lied about that?
35:52You're the worst father ever.
35:54Is there a mug for that?
35:57Oh, hello.
35:58I love a man of his word.
36:00It's going to take a little while to process you.
36:02You're going to want to keep your blood sugar up.
36:04Cupcake.
36:06Thanks.
36:10I didn't know you had that kind of cruelty in you.
36:12Oh, it's not about that.
36:14See, as parents, that's what we do.
36:15We sacrifice for our children.
36:17Sheriff's department will be here shortly.
36:19Take you back to prison.
36:21I do feel something, you know.
36:23About having a kid.
36:25Knowing the old Hutchinson bloodline isn't going to die with me.
36:28And yet, you still put yourself first every step of the way.
36:31That's all I know.
36:32I know I'm wasting my breath on this, but...
36:35If you really want to improve yourself in prison,
36:38stop taking random degrees and just take a hard look inside.
36:42If you want to be more than just a cautionary tale to that girl,
36:45you got a lot of work to do.
36:48Okay.
36:59So, I gotta know.
37:01Why'd you start up again after all these years?
37:04My husband dumped me for his massage therapist.
37:08And I realized I wasted the last seven years of my life.
37:11So what, you wanted to get back at him for leaving you?
37:14No.
37:17I just...
37:19wanted to feel young again.
37:35You're being charged with a misdemeanor.
37:38You'll have to pay a fine.
37:40Otherwise, you're free to go.
37:42And for what it's worth,
37:44you're still young.
37:47And your husband's an idiot.
37:50Thanks.
38:00Hey.
38:01Oh, hi.
38:03You still on for tonight?
38:05Um...
38:07I didn't have the purest motives when I asked you out earlier.
38:11You're trying to get back at Emmett.
38:13You know?
38:14Why did you say yes?
38:16Dude keeps beating me at Pictionary.
38:18I could use a win.
38:20So we're being equally petty.
38:22Great.
38:25Look, the guy broke up with you over text.
38:28He has this coming.
38:30But if you've changed your mind...
38:32Yeah, I have.
38:35I wanna go out for the right reasons,
38:37not because I'm hurt and angry.
38:39I respect that.
38:41But mark your calendar.
38:43I'm gonna ask you out again in two weeks.
38:44Deal.
38:56What?
38:58What?
39:00You called me down here.
39:02No, I didn't.
39:03I did.
39:05Look, I really appreciate you both
39:08for having such an interest in my future.
39:11And I know I wouldn't have these career options
39:12if you hadn't opened the door.
39:14Look, I have to find my own path.
39:17And it's way too soon to know what that is.
39:22I just hope that you both are okay with me coming to you
39:25for advice as I figure things out.
39:28Of course.
39:31Yeah.
39:34But you better come to me first.
39:36I am your father.
39:38He's right.
39:40But he is a little close to the situation
39:42so you better check in with me after.
39:44For a more balanced opinion.
39:46Right.
39:48Yes, sirs.
39:50Kidnapping yourself to get your parents' money?
39:53That is messed up.
39:55Sadly, I knew more than a few us in a bossy screw-up.
39:58You know, I always heard money could ruin a kid.
40:01I just thought that was something rich people said
40:04to keep poor people in our place.
40:08I'm gonna call Patrice tomorrow.
40:10Discuss how we structure the trust
40:12so that kid doesn't grow up to be an entitled jerk.
40:15That sounds like a plan.
40:19So, are we gonna talk about Oscar?
40:24When I found out Oscar was connected,
40:27I fantasized about tearing him apart with Bearcats
40:30and then peeing on what was left.
40:32Then I realized that saving that kid's life
40:34was the only thing that mattered.
40:36Oscar just wasn't worth the effort.
40:39Amen to that.
40:40You know, your fantasies are a little gruesome.
40:43That's not what you said last night.
40:51Professor Ryan.
40:53Oh, you almost missed your deadline.
40:55Almost.
40:57So, do you have an answer to my question?
40:59Yes. Uh, no, actually.
41:01I spent the day trying to figure out
41:03the answer you were looking for.
41:05Clearly, the racial element of the question
41:07wasn't accidental, so...
41:08It was just a test to see what I would do
41:11to avoid feeling great.
41:13And then I realized something
41:15that gave me the clarity that I needed.
41:17The consequences of doing my job wrong
41:19are too extreme to just pick an answer
41:22to curry favor with you.
41:24I can't pick A, question all the black men,
41:26because that would just be wrong.
41:28I can't pick B or C.
41:30There's not enough information.
41:32We both know what damage a false arrest can do
41:35to a person's reputation, to their psyche.
41:38If failing the answer to the question
41:40means I don't make up my exam and get an F,
41:44so be it.
41:51Okay.
41:56You have 45 minutes.
41:58Yes.
42:02Oh, do you mean right now?
42:04Uh-huh.
42:06Yeah, okay, that's fine.
42:08I didn't expect this.
42:10I didn't think it would work.
42:12John Nolan.
42:38Damn it.
