00:00Previously on The Rookie.
00:01Stan will be taking over the training of Officer West.
00:04Someone broke into your home.
00:05So who are you claiming these days, D?
00:06He did something that really bothered me.
00:08The way he treated this one family.
00:10Black family.
00:13I am hereby placing you under administrative leave.
00:15Gun and badge.
00:16I think I could be really good at undercover work.
00:18The op today is simple.
00:20Trade drugs for cash.
00:21Then arrest everybody and try to get them to flip on Aldo Salonga.
00:24I need to see that you really know the science.
00:26Are we done?
00:27When it comes to your child, there is nothing you won't do to protect them.
00:32Her son was her humanity.
00:34With him gone, what's come?
00:40How's Henry?
00:41Oh, he's good.
00:42Thanks.
00:43Sarah and Abigail have him set up in Arizona.
00:45I'll do his rehab there.
00:46I'll join them once I graduate to B2.
00:48Ten more days.
00:50Harper says you're focused on becoming a TR.
00:51I think that's where I can do the most good.
00:54Any advice?
00:55Think how hard it is doing this job.
00:57Now think about doing it while babysitting an armed toddler.
01:01Got it.
01:02But seriously, if you have any more wisdom on how to be better prepared, I would appreciate it.
01:07Yeah, sure.
01:09Automatic weapons.
01:10A lot of them.
01:11So, one of 19 shots fired.
01:12Multiple shooters.
01:13Rescue cemetery.
01:14Of course, the airship.
01:15A backup.
01:16A little nicer.
01:24Where are these guys?
01:39Come on, let's go!
01:54Police, don't move!
01:59Got him?
02:00Yeah.
02:05How did he make it this far in this condition?
02:07He hit a battle.
02:09Seven to 19.
02:10One in custody.
02:10Not conscious.
02:11Not breathing.
02:12Let's go find out where he's coming from.
02:25So,
02:43look, I don't want to alarm you, but our guest list is out of control.
02:46What are you talking about?
02:47I mean, we're almost at maximum capacity and half your cop friends haven't even responded yet.
02:50Yeah, cops don't really respect RSVPs.
02:54Especially for...
02:56Especially for what?
02:58First marriages.
02:59Uh-huh.
03:00So, they just think that I'm your starter husband.
03:02Yes, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 72% certain you're my forever husband.
03:08Only 72%?
03:09Goes up to 81 if you make me breakfast.
03:14Lopez.
03:16Yes, sir.
03:17Text me the address.
03:19What?
03:21The war just started.
03:25Hey, looks like Cesar Madrigal has been using the cemetery as a supply depot.
03:37Guys were loading a car with narcotics.
03:38Got ambushed.
03:40Definitely Hermanos Dorados.
03:42All sporting the yellow sneakers.
03:44Looks like she said five shooters, including the one that was shooting at us.
03:46They came out on foot and opened up on Cesar's guys.
03:48Unfortunately for yellow kicks, they miscounted the enemy.
03:51Got caught in a crossfire of two of Cesar's crew.
03:53They didn't see.
03:53Less than a minute, there's a baker's dozen of DBs.
03:55You're up to speed?
03:56Getting there.
03:57Where's Sergeant Carradine?
03:58Sweating the cemetery on her.
03:59She's clearly on Cesar's payroll.
04:01It's only going to get worse.
04:03Lafayette is out for blood.
04:05And Cesar is just strong enough to put up a decent fight.
04:08You don't think he can win?
04:09No.
04:09Lafayette has a lot more resources than Cesar.
04:11And honestly, a level of brutality that his crew's never seen before.
04:14I can't just stand by and watch him shoot up the city.
04:16I mean, we got lucky this time.
04:17No innocence for her, but that can't last.
04:19Word is Sandra flew back from Guatemala after burying Diego.
04:22She's bunkered down at Hotel Matilde, running out the whole ninth floor.
04:25Good to be queen.
04:26How about Cesar?
04:27According to narcotics, he's in the wind.
04:29Yeah, I know someone who might have some insight on where to find him.
04:32Mac Daniels.
04:33He's working for Cesar's dad after getting fired by LAPD.
04:36Who did he talk to you?
04:37Got him in rehab.
04:38I can give him a call, see if he has any idea where Cesar might hold up.
04:41Do it.
04:41And you, go talk to Lafayette.
04:43Impress on her the need to stand down.
04:46Cesar killed her son.
04:47I don't think there's anything I can say that'll get through to her.
04:50But I'll try.
04:53All right.
04:54And I thought my day was going to be chasing down cop RSVPs for the wedding.
04:58It'll only take like two minutes for Lafayette to tell you to go screw yourself, so...
05:03We should split the RSVP list.
05:05It'll get done faster.
05:06Yeah, I'm not doing that.
05:10Fine, you know me the list.
05:13You should have read the fine print on that old man of ours.
05:15I'm not kidding.
05:16I'm just saying, the cop who tackles the perp should be the one to do the paperwork.
05:20No, the cop who didn't risk life and limb running down a methed out
05:23sous chef should have to do it.
05:25Otherwise, you are disincentivizing hands-on policing.
05:28You could just let me go, then there's no paperwork.
05:32Oh, what's that, Sarge?
05:34You need me?
05:36Sorry, partner.
05:36Paperwork's all yours.
05:37Fine, but you're tackling the next three guys.
05:40Let's go.
05:41You can teach him what the hell sous vide is.
05:46Yes, sir?
05:47You heard about the mass casualty event this morning?
05:50Yes, sir.
05:51But we knew a gang war was coming, right?
05:53Yes, and it's far from over.
05:55Which Detective Harper tells me presents an opportunity.
05:59In times of chaos like this, it's not just the criminal pecking order that gets shaken up.
06:03Undercover operations get upended.
06:06Long-term UCs and CIs are neutered when their bosses get killed or caught.
06:10But the upheaval also gives us a chance to put new UCs in the field.
06:14I got a call from Jun Jiang this morning.
06:16Aldo Salonga is out of prison and he is desperate to cook product to move.
06:21So we called her cover identity and asked about you.
06:24You want me to go back in as the chemist?
06:26Jun is already up on another operation, so she told Salonga that you might be available.
06:31I'm ready.
06:31Not so fast.
06:32This wouldn't be a sting operation like the last time.
06:34This would probably be a long-term placement.
06:37Which means you'll be on your own, without a surveillance team or access to immediate backup.
06:42It normally takes months to properly train an officer to go deep undercover like this.
06:46Hundreds of hours of classroom and field training.
06:49I told Detective Harper she has today to evaluate your readiness.
06:53If she doesn't sign off with confidence that you can handle it, I will not approve the assignment.
06:59Yes, sir.
07:01I won't let you down.
07:03It's not about letting me down, Officer Chen.
07:05There is no failure for finding yourself unprepared for a job you did not prepare for.
07:11Is that clear?
07:12Yes, sir.
07:12Go get changed.
07:14I'm throwing you on the deep end.
07:47Nice hideout.
07:53It's not a hideout.
07:54It's a base of operations.
07:56I know you.
07:57You were at my dad's hospital.
07:59That's right.
08:00The day you tried to kill Lafayette.
08:01Allegedly.
08:02Nothing alleged about what happened this morning.
08:04You lost a lot of men.
08:05And product.
08:05I don't know what you're talking about.
08:07Sure you do.
08:07You started a war you can't win.
08:09Says who?
08:10Everybody.
08:10You're a minor league ball club next to Fiyara.
08:12Even if you could compete, you killed her son.
08:15She's up for blood.
08:16Your blood.
08:17She's also a businesswoman.
08:19Wars are expensive.
08:20Unpredictable.
08:21Word is she made a deal with your father to take over.
08:24Now, if you offered to honor that deal, she might let you walk away with her life.
08:29What belonged to the father will be inherited by the son.
08:32That's in the Bible.
08:34So this bitch could run around all she wants claiming she made some sort of deal with my dad,
08:37but no one's going to believe it.
08:38You better hope not.
08:38If you lose the support of your father's lieutenants,
08:41they'll jump ship and you'll be all by your lonesome.
08:43Hey, you guys wouldn't happen to know where La Fiyara is, right?
08:48In case I want to pay my respects.
08:50Sorry, you have to figure that one out on your own.
08:52Yeah, I'm working on it.
08:56So what now?
08:58Hope Lopez is doing better with La Fiyara.
09:03Police.
09:04I'm here to talk to Sandra de la Cruz.
09:06Detective Lopez.
09:08We haven't met yet.
09:09No, but you match the description of the man who threatened my fiance.
09:12That doesn't sound like me.
09:14I get along with everyone.
09:15And yet I can tell you're not going to get along with me.
09:17My heart breaks.
09:18Is Sandra inside?
09:19Do you have a warrant?
09:20Not yet.
09:21Is that a problem?
09:23Not yet.
09:29Hermana, thank you for the flowers you sent for Diego's funeral.
09:34They were lovely.
09:34We held the service at Casa de Dios.
09:37Thousands attended and walked with me as we buried him in Chichicastenango.
09:42In a bright yellow tomb to honor the sunshine he brought into my life.
09:46You should have stayed in Guatemala.
09:49No.
09:51I have unfinished business here.
09:54Listen to me.
09:56Up until this point, you've managed to fly mostly under the radar.
09:59Away from the eyes of federal law enforcement.
10:01But you announced yourself in a big way this morning.
10:03A dozen dead bodies elevates you to the top of the watch list.
10:07I have nothing left to lose, Hermana.
10:09But there is a very simple thing you can do to end this war before it goes any farther.
10:13And what's that?
10:15We both know you were wiretapping a dying man's hospital room.
10:20You heard him promise to give me control.
10:22But he slipped into a coma before he could tell his people.
10:26You want this war to end?
10:28Give me that recording.
10:33You were offered A plus one.
10:35You crossed that out and wrote plus four.
10:39Emotional support animals are not wedding guests.
10:46Hey Mildred, Don Nolan here.
10:48Yeah.
10:49So listen, here's the thing.
10:50What Tim is too embarrassed to say is that he screwed up.
10:53He told Angela the wrong venue cap.
10:54Now they have too many guests.
10:55We just need a few people to...
10:58You will?
10:59Thank you so much.
10:59I know the couple will be so pleased.
11:01All right.
11:01Bye.
11:03Pretty proud of yourself?
11:04Throwing a federal officer under the bus?
11:06I think Detective Lopez would approve of my methods.
11:09Control, seven out of 19.
11:17Run a plate three John Robert Queen 158.
11:20Send details to our box.
11:25His name is Miguel O'Fair.
11:27He's got quite a list of priors.
11:29We're getting a very good picture of Cesar's operation here.
11:32Two buttons of this intel will be irrelevant once Lafayette wipes him off the map.
11:39Hey, how'd it go?
11:41The good news is I can stop the war.
11:44How?
11:45By giving Lafayette the wiretap recording of her and Madrigal making their deal.
11:49Oh, let's do it.
11:49We'll stop the body count.
11:51Not all of it.
11:52She's going to kill Cesar no matter what.
11:53Better one homicide than a second massacre.
11:56Can we do that though, ethically speaking?
11:58Pick the winner of a drug war?
12:00What's our number one mandate?
12:01Protect the lives of the people of Los Angeles.
12:04So we end the violence today, we go after Lafayette tomorrow.
12:07Exactly.
12:07I'll run it up to Blackpool.
12:09Any luck finding Cesar?
12:10He's up and acting.
12:11Hold up in a cabin.
12:12We're documenting the comings and goings of his crew and keeping an eye out for trouble.
12:15I gotta go.
12:16Looks like the feds have joined the party.
12:21I'm headed to my lady doctor next.
12:23Want to come to that too?
12:25Special Agent Taggart, DEA.
12:27We need to talk.
12:28Well, thanks for agreeing to talk to me.
12:30Of course.
12:30Yeah, Nolan said you were interviewing cops for your book on police reform.
12:34I'd talk about that all day.
12:35John mentioned that you come from a police family.
12:38Yep.
12:39Dad, uncles, a few aunts, half a dozen cousins.
12:43Now the West are blue through and through.
12:45And Black.
12:47Yeah.
12:48You want to know if being Black affects my stance on police reform?
12:52Does it?
12:53Hell yeah.
12:54I've seen firsthand how the right kind of policing
12:58can serve our communities and make people's lives better.
13:01So when an officer abuses their power in those communities,
13:06I take it personally.
13:06That's interesting.
13:07Given your family, I might have expected a blue wall of silence answer from you.
13:10There definitely was a time when I had more faith in the system,
13:14but recently I've seen firsthand how broken it is.
13:18How so?
13:19It needs to be a lot easier to fire bad cops.
13:25Almost died trying.
13:27Why the cloak and dagger?
13:28You were in Lafayette's hotel suite for 17 minutes, nine seconds.
13:32What did you talk about?
13:33Makeup tips, cutest members of BCS.
13:36Be careful, detective.
13:37Just got to the big kids table.
13:39I could easily have you put back in uniform.
13:40No, you can't.
13:42You know what else you apparently can't do?
13:44Wiretap Lafayette.
13:46Because if you could, you wouldn't be asking me what we're doing here.
13:49I'm not asking you.
13:50I'm asking you.
13:50I'm asking you.
13:51I'm asking you.
13:51I'm asking you.
13:52I'm asking you.
13:53I'm asking you.
13:53I'm asking you.
13:54I'm asking you.
13:54I'm asking you.
13:55I'm asking you.
13:55I'm asking you.
13:56Ask me what we talked about for 17 minutes and nine seconds.
14:00Now, why am I here?
14:01I'm running a multi-agency task force.
14:03DEA, FBI, BNE.
14:05Why not LAPD?
14:07We're on the front lines of this.
14:08You should be bringing us in.
14:09I have over 25 years experience dealing with cartels.
14:12I say when it's time to bring in local PD.
14:14So here's the carrot.
14:16You tell me what you know, and I'll consider inviting you into the inner sanctum.
14:21We have a recording of Tomas Madrigal giving Lafayette a control of his drug operation.
14:26I want a copy of that tape.
14:27That's funny.
14:28So does she.
14:29To submit her control, which is why you can't give it to her.
14:31We need time to analyze that.
14:33Go over the angles.
14:34Do you even speak Spanish?
14:35What does that have to do with anything?
14:3725 years of experience with cartels.
14:40Do you speak the language?
14:41Do you know the culture?
14:42Do you see how the US policy has created more chaos and crime in Latin America?
14:49No wonder we're losing.
14:50Look, I'll take your request under advisement, but it's LAPD's recording.
14:55We'll decide what we do with it.
14:57Now, you see, you played that all wrong.
15:00Because unlike you, your boss knows that the best path to putting Lafayette behind bars
15:04is through a federal court.
15:06So I'm just going to go over your head, take that tape,
15:10and leave you watching from the sidelines.
15:20So what's my first test?
15:22Buying drugs without getting ID, or are you going undercover as a tweaker?
15:26No.
15:26So that wouldn't be a very useful test.
15:28I can't cram 100 hours worth of training into one shift.
15:32So I have to get to the heart of what you need to know in order to survive.
15:38When you are a UC, you have to be on triple duty.
15:41So what does that mean?
15:42It means I need to keep three things in my head at all times.
15:44Yes, what are they?
15:46First, I always have to be aware of the law and proper procedure.
15:50There are certain actions I can take as a UC.
15:52I can be the lookout for a burglary.
15:54I can drive the getaway car.
15:56And a lot of actions that I can't take.
15:59I can't get high.
16:00I can't assault or victimize someone.
16:03Second.
16:03I always have to be my character.
16:06Spend every moment channeling Nova Lynn and not Lucy Chen.
16:10Third, you have to not get caught or killed.
16:16If you really were a drug cook, the only thing that you would be worried about
16:20is whether you are getting paid or popped at the end of your cook.
16:24But as a UC, you have to have three complicated streams of consciousness
16:29going through your mind at all times.
16:31How much time have you spent on your backstory?
16:33I filled four journals.
16:36What?
16:37It's just going to be interesting to see what you thought was important about Nova and what was not.
16:43Anyway, I'm going to step out.
16:45I'm going to give you five minutes to get into character.
16:48And then we're going to a party.
16:50All right.
16:56Officer West, we just received an anonymous tip on one Lafayette stronghold.
17:00Units from Hollywood Division are on their way.
17:02Meet them there and keep me in the loop.
17:04Yes, sir.
17:05You think Cesar Madrigal called it in so we can do his dirty work for him?
17:07I do.
17:08Which makes him smarter than I thought.
17:10Yes, sir.
17:11Still, we'd rather arrest these guys quietly than have a repeat of this morning's bloodshed.
17:14I'm on my way.
17:16Officer West, Midwilshire.
17:30Came by to see if you guys needed a hand.
17:31Thanks.
17:32We're just bringing the rest of the guys out now.
17:33Not enough long guns to harm a small battalion.
17:35Well, well, well.
17:37Look who it is.
17:37You were fired.
17:38I was.
17:39Turns out being saddled with an incompetent rookie isn't grounds for termination.
17:43Even if that rookie's daddy does run high.
17:46This is the rookie you were telling us about?
17:48Yep.
17:48Officer Jackson West.
17:50Kid who stabbed me in the back.
17:52Let's go.
18:08Sniper, where you been?
18:17I had some trouble.
18:18Nothing I couldn't handle.
18:19This, this is Nova.
18:21I don't think you two have met yet.
18:24I'd remember.
18:25Likewise.
18:28Careful, you're about to burn that burger.
18:31You know your way around a grill?
18:33I usually cook in a more controlled environment.
18:36That's so.
18:37Do you cook?
18:38All sorts.
18:39Mainly catering.
18:40Big orders.
18:43Nova came through for me recently.
18:45I'm gonna go grab a beer.
18:46You two, talk.
18:50Where'd you learn to cook?
18:52Here and there.
18:52I've been every top chef in this form of training.
18:55Sure.
18:56But I only just met you.
18:57You don't see me asking where you did time.
19:02What makes you think I did time?
19:04Get you at the beast.
19:05Well, if you're friends with Sniper, that means you're in the business.
19:07And if you're in the business, eventually you catch a charge.
19:15You might be able to use someone with your background.
19:18Yeah, I'll need to do my due diligence first.
19:19I only work with professionals.
19:21Well, by all means, ask around.
19:28Something wrong?
19:29No.
19:35Did you kill them?
19:36No.
19:37I just don't like seeing a girl being mistreated.
19:40I can fix that.
19:42Watch and grill.
19:44Hey!
19:45Yeah, you!
19:46Boy, come here!
19:48What's the problem?
19:49This kid put his hands on the girl.
19:50Nova didn't like it.
19:51Yeah, she's, uh, she's sensitive that way.
19:53Me, I think a girl could use a little more focus.
19:57What?
19:59Go on, tell her.
20:00You should treat that girl better.
20:02Kiss my ass.
20:04What did you say to me?
20:05Nothing, sorry.
20:07Won't happen again.
20:08See that it doesn't.
20:09Now piss off.
20:15Nice gun.
20:16It's all right.
20:18It's a cop gun.
20:23Yeah.
20:25They use them because they're reliable when things get real.
20:27It's good enough for me.
20:35Let's eat.
20:40Let's eat!
20:48Took you long enough.
20:49LA traffic, what do you want from me?
20:50Got one unmarked car, two sets of civvies, fresh from lost and found.
20:55You were supposed to pull clothes from our locker.
20:57We texted you our combinations.
20:59Oh, I didn't do that.
21:00Why do we rely on you for anything?
21:02I've been wondering that myself.
21:04Oh, um, Smitty, one more thing, um, about Lopez's wedding.
21:08Yeah, she got my RSVP, right?
21:09Yeah, that's just it.
21:10You can't send an RSVP card to a wedding you weren't invited to.
21:13Oh, of course I'm invited.
21:15I'm the DJ.
21:17He's not the DJ.
21:19You're not the DJ!
21:20It's not right.
21:21Those bodies are on our murder board.
21:23The DEA can't just force us to follow their command.
21:25That tape could end the bloodshed right now.
21:27Angel, stop.
21:28The chief already sent a recording to the feds.
21:30He never lets us go.
21:32He's back.
21:33Who?
21:33Doug Stanton.
21:34He was disposed on our pitch.
21:35He's back on the job.
21:36He's in the Hollywood division.
21:37Damn it.
21:38I'm so sorry.
21:40Looks like Stanton appealed his termination and won.
21:43Wait, and no one cared to tell me?
21:44The brass is under no obligation to notify you or me of their ruins.
21:48After everything he did!
21:50Not a single repercussion!
21:51That's not entirely true.
21:52He lost his seniority and got demoted to P-2.
21:55Where he'll be for the rest of his career.
21:56He'll never be a training officer again.
21:58But he still wears the badge.
22:00The police commissioner and the board of rights ended up seeing things his way.
22:04Because they were more interested in avoiding a wrongful termination suit
22:07than punishing a corrupt cop.
22:10Look, Sarge.
22:13This man left me there to die.
22:18This isn't over.
22:19I'm gonna bring it up at the sergeant staff meeting.
22:21I'm not done fighting for you.
22:23Yeah, don't bother.
22:25You both know I won't do any good.
22:28Stand one.
22:30Stand two.
22:33Thank you very much.
22:34And now we have cut the list by 27 guests.
22:37That's not bad.
22:38You told them I was so guilt-ridden, I've been crying in bed all day.
22:41It really helped paint the picture.
22:42You do remember I hold your fate in my hands.
22:45Do we know that?
22:484-7-9-19, be advised, Cesar is on the move with his crew.
22:51Requesting airship to aid in our surveillance.
22:55I did good, right?
22:56You did great.
22:57I knew it was a setup.
22:58No, you didn't.
23:00I couldn't know for sure, but you should be in school.
23:02Relax, Lila wrote me a note.
23:04See you tonight?
23:05Yeah.
23:06Hey, who was that boy?
23:10Do you know?
23:11They're not dating, right?
23:12Because I did not like that kid.
23:15Never mind.
23:16So what's next?
23:17You never know what comes next when you're undercover, so why would I tell you now?
23:29Get your ass off my desk.
23:47Are you not housebroken yet?
23:49We decided that Sandra De La Cruz can have the recording.
23:52You could have called to tell me that.
23:54So why are you here?
23:55We installed malware on this drive.
23:57She plugs this into her computer, snakes its way throughout her entire network.
24:01Tablets, phones, routers.
24:03In one fell swoop, we get evidence on the whole operation.
24:05But you need someone she trusts to deliver it to her.
24:08Is this really the best idea you've got?
24:10Glorified spam link?
24:12Will you give it to her or not?
24:27A booty call?
24:32He's in the middle of a gang war and that's his priority?
24:34That's how his father knew.
24:35He would just run the business into the ground.
24:37That's why he sold out the La Fiera.
24:40Let's find out who his school friend is.
24:41I'll run her plates.
24:42Control?
24:44It's Officer West.
24:46Professor Ryan.
24:48What can I do for you?
24:48Well, Jackson called to tell me about Officer Stanton being reinstated.
24:52He asked for my help.
24:53What kind of help?
24:55Exposure.
24:55A black rookie officer being abused and left to die by his white T.O.
24:59And the guy keeps his job?
25:02If it were up to me, we'd be on CNN right now.
25:04So what stopped you?
25:05I felt like I owed you a heads up, sir.
25:08Son, you don't owe me anything.
25:09I understand your anger just like I understand your instinct to go public.
25:13But I believe you'll be making a mistake.
25:15The department has left me with no other option.
25:18If my life is worth less to the department than the cost of a lawsuit,
25:22why should I protect them?
25:23You should.
25:23You should protect yourself.
25:25And I'm telling you, going on TV,
25:26putting Doug on blast will just cause the department to circle their wagons.
25:30They will shield Doug to defend their own reputation.
25:34You'll be inadvertently making a martyr out of him and isolating yourself.
25:37And that right there is why things will never change.
25:40Until cops speak up about what is really happening, change will never come.
25:44I hear you.
25:45But at what cost?
25:46This young man's career?
25:48Sarge, I have to do something.
25:50Jackson is willing to step up and risk losing everything.
25:54But you insist it won't work.
25:56So tell me, what will?
25:57You've been a cop for a long time.
25:59Tell me what we can do to make the department turn against Doug Stanton.
26:04Or we'll be on the 6 o'clock news.
26:10Lucy Chin, meet Sergeant Mark Murray, aka Shea.
26:17It's a pleasure, sir.
26:18And that burger was truly delicious.
26:21You made a nice save with the kid.
26:23Besides being a grill master, Shea is a court-certified expert
26:26in clandestine narcotics labs.
26:28Manufacturing dope is part of my official duties.
26:31Now, Detective Harp informs me that you're going to be posing as a chemist?
26:34Yes, sir.
26:35Okay, come on.
26:37So, Dilaudid, meth, heroin, fentanyl.
26:41Chemically speaking, what's the difference between nasal decongestant and meth?
26:44One oxygen molecule, just one.
26:47And to add that molecule?
26:48You have to break the pseudofedrin down, then add methyl alcohol
26:51and evaporate it so that the oxygen can...
26:54Half the chemicals just burned up.
26:55Improvise.
26:56Where do you get the methyl alcohol?
26:58Where?
27:00Windshield washer fluid, then fertilizer with anhydrous ammonia,
27:05sodium metal, or lithium metal.
27:07You can get that from batteries.
27:11Yes, you can.
27:12Good.
27:13We're going to spend the afternoon cooking.
27:15Knowing what to do is one thing.
27:16Knowing what to do when everything goes wrong,
27:18that's what's going to keep you alive.
27:19All right?
27:21Show me what you got.
27:27Where's your doorman?
27:28I'm running an errand.
27:34Cafecito?
27:35You must have some.
27:37I have it shipped in daily from my country.
27:39We have the best in the world.
27:44Guatemalan style.
27:46Very sweet.
27:47But don't worry.
27:48The beans are called huehuetenango.
27:50Low in acid, easy on the tummy.
27:53Your baby won't mind.
27:54Now, you have something for me, no?
27:59There's a condition.
28:00The war stops today.
28:01You declare an immediate ceasefire
28:03and a guaranteed protection of Cesar Madrigal.
28:06You ask a lot of a grieving mother.
28:08You chose this line of work.
28:09This is the price of doing business.
28:13Say it.
28:14No harm will come to Cesar Madrigal.
28:18You have my word.
28:35La Federal has put a Trojan horse in here, yes?
28:39Brand new and air-gapped,
28:40so it can't connect to your network.
28:44Of course.
28:46You watch us, hermana.
28:48We watch you.
28:50Tell the DEA better luck next time.
28:54Getters like that always underestimate chicas like us.
29:10Control, be advised, Cesar is on the move.
29:12Have the nearest unit pick up the tail.
29:14We're gonna crush him and go for it.
29:18My son is foolhardy and rash,
29:20but he's still my blood.
29:22Cesar will be provided for.
29:24You have my word.
29:26Then you, Miss De La Cruz,
29:29I want you to continue my legacy.
29:34And just like that, there is peace in Los Angeles.
29:44My abuelita's is better.
29:45You want the recipe?
29:46No.
29:46Stop acting like we're friends.
29:48For the moment, our interests align.
29:49And I'll stay that way if the violence stops
29:53and Cesar stays alive.
29:55I told you,
29:57killing Cesar would be unsatisfying.
30:01He must suffer like I suffer.
30:05Can I use your bathroom?
30:07This baby's bouncing on my bladder like a trampoline.
30:14Police, open up.
30:17Some questions for you regarding Cesar Madrigal.
30:20Don't know him.
30:20That's weird.
30:21We just saw him leave.
30:22May we come in?
30:24I'm calling my lawyer.
30:25Good, you really should.
30:27We're in the process of getting a warrant.
30:31Look, it's criminal 101
30:34for suspects to hide illicit items
30:36in their girlfriend's homes.
30:37Cash, contraband, you name it.
30:39That gets you arrested.
30:40That gets you put in prison.
30:41That gets you, baby, put in foster care.
30:44That is not the outcome we're hoping for.
30:47So let's sit down,
30:49have a talk about this taking a different path.
30:53Hey.
30:54I think Cesar might have a kid somewhere.
30:56And Lafayette is going to kill him.
30:58Yeah, a little ahead of you there.
30:59Do me a favor, call him back up.
31:00Code three high, 5917 Sycamore Court.
31:03Five shooters on site.
31:04You have a cast iron tub in your home?
31:06Yes, upstairs.
31:06Get your baby, get inside, lock the door,
31:08hide in the tub.
31:08Let's pull the roof.
31:12Call it off.
31:13Murdering Cesar's baby is twisted, even for you.
31:15I don't know what you're talking about.
31:17But if Cesar's child were to die,
31:20well, that's just karma balancing the scales.
31:22Does it bother you?
31:24Making another mother grieve the way you do?
31:26Like I said, I cannot stop what I did not order.
31:32What's the plan?
31:32They came here expecting to find a helpless woman and child.
31:35Let's show them how steep the price of admission is.
31:38Guyana, right?
31:39You work with La Fiera.
31:40I met you at the hospital last week, remember?
31:42You were dressed differently.
31:44Yeah, I was in uniform.
31:46Easy, gentlemen.
31:48I see a weapon, we're going to have a real problem.
31:51Look, I appreciate the position that you're in, officers.
31:53But you need to try to understand mine.
31:55We have a job to do.
31:56And the price of failure is death.
31:58So there is nothing for us to lose.
32:01You, on the other hand, you have options.
32:03I think he wants us to work together.
32:05You have options?
32:06I think he wants us to walk away.
32:08How much?
32:09How much do you want?
32:10Oh, I want to beat Batman, Rich.
32:11What's that take, like a billion?
32:12Way more.
32:13Yeah, like 10 or 20.
32:14Since I don't think you have that kind of cash on you,
32:16it looks like we're sticking around and I don't get to beat Batman.
32:18Then I guess we're done talking.
32:35Fall back upstairs?
32:36Negative.
32:36They'll just light the house on fire and shoot us when we come out.
32:39Our only option is to take the fight to them.
32:41It looks like we're done talking too.
33:05Don't even breathe.
33:29This is gonna hurt.
33:31But how are you for shooting me?
33:33You know the tools at the academy about fighting a guy with a knife?
33:35No, tell me.
33:36It says if you hold it the wrong way, you got a chance.
33:39If you hold it the right way, run.
33:43I'm gonna hold it the right way.
33:46You're gonna run?
33:48No.
33:55That's the best you got?
34:17First knife fight?
34:19Yeah.
34:20You hold it the right way?
34:21Yeah.
34:22Bro 7 to M-19, 5 in custody.
34:32Stella?
34:33Wade, come on in.
34:34Appreciate you taking the time.
34:35This is Officer Jackson West.
34:38Pleasure to meet you, ma'am.
34:39You too.
34:40But listen, I read the report on your attack in Doug Stanton's file.
34:44It's unconscionable.
34:45But your sergeant here knows as well as I do that when an officer is reinstated by the
34:49department, there's literally nothing their watch commander can do about it.
34:52With all due respect, ma'am, that's not true.
34:57Stella, we go way back.
34:59You know firsthand how hard it is to make meaningful changes inside the department.
35:04So all I'm asking is that you hear Officer West out.
35:10All right.
35:13You have my attention.
35:14As you all know, I have instituted new training protocols with the goal of moving us towards
35:19a more modern approach on policing.
35:21We're going to watch and discuss a new training video about ensuring your partner's safety.
35:26Control, 7 Adam 7, A to B, I'm out with 3.
35:29Copy.
35:29Right behind you.
35:30Stop where you are.
35:31Look, you guys do not want to do this.
35:32Stop where you are.
35:44Oh,
36:04this is not what it looks like.
36:05Yes, it is.
36:06This is the truth about Doug Stanton.
36:09What kind of cop he is.
36:11One who won't have your back when you need it the most.
36:14Come on, guys.
36:15Come on, you, you know me.
36:17They do now.
36:22Hey, Lucy.
36:24So I just got off the phone with Shea.
36:28You rock the cook.
36:29He said you're more knowledgeable than half the guys that work for him.
36:32What?
36:32Wow.
36:33So what does that mean?
36:35Well, I spoke to Gray and I told him you're as ready as you could be considering the circumstances.
36:39And he approved the operation.
36:43There is no telling how long you will be off the grid.
36:46So you need to get your personal life squared away.
36:49Yes, ma'am.
36:50This assignment, it will be hard.
36:52It will be lonely.
36:53And at times it might even be boring.
36:55But you can never let your guard down.
36:59If you do, you are dead.
37:03You got it?
37:04Yes.
37:05All right, go home.
37:08The real work starts tomorrow.
37:10Oh, man.
37:20Paperwork on this one is going to take forever.
37:23I was going to order some food.
37:24How about Thai?
37:26You're a good cop, Nolan.
37:28I'll grant you that.
37:30Thank you, sir.
37:31I appreciate it.
37:32Is that a yes to Thai?
37:36How serious are you about becoming a training officer?
37:40Very serious.
37:41Training our next generation is the most sacred position an officer can hold.
37:45There's not a consolation prize or a rung on the ladder to your next promotion.
37:48I know that.
37:48No, I don't think you do.
37:49Because last month you wanted to be a detective.
37:51Then you found out that couldn't happen.
37:52Now you want to be a T.O.
37:55Sir, I don't want to be a T.O.
37:59I'm going to be a T.O.
38:02If you want to doubt my convictions, that's fine.
38:04You don't want to help me, that's fine too.
38:06But you're not going to deter me.
38:09I'm going to be a T.O.
38:14Let's get back to the club.
38:22Hey.
38:24I left messages for you.
38:26Lying in wait for the pregnant woman to walk out?
38:28Way to be creepy.
38:29How'd it go?
38:30Lafayette saw right through your play.
38:32Made an audio recording and ditched the thumb drive.
38:35That's my fault.
38:36Shouldn't have sent in a novice.
38:40When you look at her, all you see is a woman from a third world country with a fourth grade education.
38:46But she's smarter than you.
38:48Oh, really?
38:49But not you.
38:50No, she probably is.
38:52But I'm humble enough to know that.
38:54Which is why I'm going to be the one who takes her down.
39:09No, no, no!
39:31You screwed up?
39:32Betraying Mr. Salonga like that?
39:34I don't know what you're talking about.
39:36We grabbed up your friend Coco.
39:38It took a little cutting.
39:39But she told us that she was a cop.
39:40That you were all cops.
39:42You're lying.
39:43Coco would never say that because it's not true.
39:51Wait, wait.
39:52No, no, no!
40:00Look, I am not asking you.
40:01I already know.
40:03My question is, what else do the cops know about Mr. Salonga's operation?
40:08We've certain upcoming transactions.
40:10I need to know if they've been compromised.
40:13I have no idea.
40:22Last chance.
40:29Listen to me.
40:31Whatever Coco said to you, she's lying.
40:34That's what people do when they're being tortured.
40:36She would have admitted to being an elephant if you had asked her.
40:41You set that fire and Salonga is as good as dead.
40:46Word on the street is he's in debt to some really bad people.
40:50And I am the only one who can get him out of it by cooking him up a fortune.
40:54But I am not going to do that if you hurt her.
40:59So pull your head out of your ass and let us go.
41:06She's pretty good.
41:16Of course she is.
41:18I taught her everything she knows.
41:21Pass me a towel.
41:22Wow, you're a full service asshat.
41:25You'll thank me for it later.
41:27And you, you abducted me when you know what I have been through.
41:32That is exactly why I did it.
41:35And if you are looking for an apology, you're not going to get it.
41:38I needed to see how you would react.
41:40And honestly, you needed to see how you would react.
41:44It's your last test.
41:45Really?
41:46Because that's what you said after the last last test.
41:48Which is why you didn't see this one coming.
41:52Look at me.
41:55It's your final chance to back out.
41:57Do you still want this?
41:59After what you just experienced?
42:04Yeah.
42:11Yeah, I do.
