00:01Previously on The Rookie.
00:02What's Metro doing here?
00:03Metro would be a good fit for Tim.
00:05There's an opening in Metro.
00:07Lieutenant Pine just called me and I'm going over.
00:09That's great.
00:10Monica, what are you doing here?
00:11Elijah Stone is my client.
00:13Elijah's attorney?
00:14We used to be engaged.
00:15Hi, I'm his mother.
00:17The boxes.
00:18Your mother sold me snake oil.
00:19This is my boss's wife.
00:21Do you have any idea what this could do to my career?
00:23Goodbye.
00:24All right, turn to your left.
00:31Turn to your right.
00:33You know, the Boerbuck is a public place.
00:35I have a right to perform.
00:36It does not give you the right to pick your audience's pockets.
00:39You know I can get out of these, right?
00:42You can try.
00:46Voila.
00:47I'm a master escape artist.
00:54Cute.
00:55Let's go.
00:56You know, no cage can hold me.
00:58Yeah?
01:00All right.
01:01What about this cage?
01:03A magician is always prepared.
01:14How did you think that was going to work?
01:15Yeah, no, I didn't get that far.
01:17Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:20Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:21I'm gonna win for you like I know you want me to do.
01:36No, you said that to me.
01:38Can I already explain you to...
01:39That's ridiculous.
01:40No, absolutely not.
01:42No, I'm done.
01:44No, I am done.
01:45Your mom?
01:46How'd you know?
01:47Shoulders are touching your ears.
01:49What's the latest?
01:50She is devastated that she hasn't been invited to the wedding.
01:53Did you tell her we're not doing a big thing?
01:55We literally have two guests.
01:56Explained all that?
01:57Doesn't matter.
01:58Still a knife through her heart.
01:59Look, if it helps, I don't mind inviting her.
02:01No, no way.
02:02No, it's not even about the wedding.
02:05She wants me to pay her not to come.
02:07$10,000.
02:08What?
02:09I know.
02:10Don't worry.
02:10She is not coming.
02:11I will not let her ruin our wedding.
02:16Oh, shit.
02:28Did I miss it?
02:29It's cute.
02:31Why are you up so early?
02:33I was going to get a photo of your reaction.
02:35It's Metro training today.
02:37As the newbie, it's my job to haul in the gear and the ammo.
02:40Yeah, the newbie.
02:42The boot.
02:43I'm a sergeant.
02:44You're still a boot in my book.
02:48Oh, hey.
02:50Are you just getting home?
02:51Must have been I kept a party.
02:53Yeah.
02:54Rager.
02:57Did I interrupt something?
02:59No.
02:59No, I was just heading out.
03:01Can't be late on my first day.
03:04Bye.
03:04Hey.
03:06You're going to be great today.
03:08Knock them dead.
03:09Bye.
03:10Bye.
03:10Bye.
03:10Bye.
03:10Bye.
03:11Bye.
03:11Bye.
03:11Bye.
03:12Bye.
03:13Bye.
03:15Good morning.
03:18Whatever.
03:19Well, of course you'd say that.
03:21Because it's the truth.
03:22Like you've ever cared about the truth.
03:23Okay, that's enough.
03:24I'd ask where this animosity is coming from, but I have an idea.
03:27Okay, this has nothing to do with our past and everything to do with the law.
03:30Let's focus on the law then, shall we?
03:33You're presenting a motion to exclude.
03:34Yes, Your Honor.
03:36You disagree.
03:37Mr. Parker is an eyewitness to this crime.
03:39He picked the shooter out of a lineup.
03:41His testimony is essential to this case.
03:43Ms. Stevens.
03:44You know as well as anyone eyewitness testimony is flawed, and this witness had a gun pointed
03:49at him.
03:50High levels of stress negatively impact memory.
03:52Okay, but any eyewitness to a crime has experienced high levels of stress.
03:57Are we throwing out the very notion of witnesses?
04:00Do not put words in my mouth.
04:02Okay.
04:02I'm inclined to side with Monica on this one.
04:07I'm excluding his testimony.
04:09On what grounds?
04:10That's absurd.
04:11Watch yourself.
04:13I'm sorry.
04:15I meant no disrespect.
04:18I'm going to need a few minutes to confer with my team.
04:21Good idea.
04:37Okay, you have an active shooter still at large.
04:40Your job is to locate the suspect and stop the threat.
04:58Bang, you're dead.
04:59You're telegraphing.
05:00You're dead.
05:00Bang, you're dead.
05:01You're dead.
05:02You're dead.
05:02Bang, you're dead.
05:03Bradford, this isn't patrol.
05:05This is metro.
05:06Major crimes.
05:06Terrorism.
05:07Barricades.
05:08Hostages.
05:09We are an elite unit.
05:10Reform's got to be perfect, man.
05:12All right.
05:13Let's take 10.
05:16What, there's only one way to clear a room?
05:18That's news to me because I've actually done this a million times successfully.
05:21Don't worry.
05:21It happens to everyone.
05:22Metro takes some getting used to.
05:24You'll get it.
05:26That is the dumbest ruling I've ever heard.
05:29Yeah, I agree.
05:30But we're going to have to make this case without Parker's testimony.
05:33Do you really think the jury will convict without?
05:35No, I'm filing for a continuance.
05:38My team needs to regroup.
05:39I guess I'm not testifying today.
05:41That's just as well.
05:43I was going to have to hand this one over to you.
05:44Well, there's nothing like a baby to win over a jury.
05:46Oh, we're going to need all the help we can get without that testimony.
05:50Didn't something similar happen in one of Lopez's cases?
05:53Just, like, last month.
05:55I've never assigned anything she's investigated.
05:57I remember she was pissed.
05:58She handed your office a perfect case, practically had a bow on it, and then it fell apart in trial.
06:04It was the same judge.
06:05Well, judges can be fickle.
06:06It's hard to predict how they'll rule.
06:08But Rivas has been solid until recently.
06:11True.
06:13You know, I clerked for him back when I was starting out.
06:15Monica and I both did.
06:16Mine like a scalpel.
06:17Yeah, but he is getting older.
06:19I mean, if he's starting to slip, someone should talk to him about retiring.
06:23I mean, maybe a former clerk who knows how to cushion the blow.
06:30Sorry, can't stop.
06:31Not even for a second.
06:32No, it's okay.
06:33I've literally been there.
06:34You go.
06:35I'll deal with Rivas.
06:36Yeah.
06:37Yes, what is going on?
06:43Oh, hey, I just heard of a new place to try for lunch.
06:46It's Chinese-Ukrainian fusion.
06:49Is it cheap?
06:50No.
06:51But what?
06:52You're rich.
06:52No, my parents are rich, okay?
06:54And I'm not going to take any more of their money.
06:56Since when?
06:58Since my mom showed me a prototype of a new Aaron Thorsen action figure.
07:01Well, that sounds awesome.
07:03No, look, I worked hard to have people take me serious as a cop.
07:06I'm not going to undermine it for a couple million dollars.
07:09Hold on.
07:09I'm sorry.
07:10A couple million?
07:11Yeah.
07:11Dude, if you're not going to do it, I will.
07:13Lucy Chen, fist of justice.
07:16What are you doing?
07:17Hi.
07:18I'm working on my side hustle.
07:21Oh, what's on your head?
07:22You have a little something on your head.
07:26Uh, no, it's nothing.
07:27I just need to get situated into my new office.
07:30Metro police liaison.
07:32Best of both worlds.
07:33That's right.
07:39Well, at least it won't take too long to move in.
07:42Nope.
07:42She's your mom.
07:56I mean, how can you not have your mom at your wedding?
07:58She's a narcissist and a borderline conroy.
08:01She tried to flee Sergeant Gray.
08:03Okay, that's not good.
08:04And not even close to the worst thing she's done.
08:06Yeah, but she's your mom.
08:08Look, my mom's challenging, but I can't imagine getting married without her, which probably means I'll have to get married in her living room.
08:14Look, I run into this all the time.
08:17You have a fundamentally good mom.
08:20So, of course, you can't imagine my situation.
08:22You're right.
08:23I don't know what you've dealt with.
08:25I shouldn't judge.
08:26I will.
08:27She's your mother.
08:29She gave you life, man.
08:30We caught you trying to pawn your mother's jewelry to buy drugs.
08:33You don't get an opinion.
08:37Seriously, how do you live on a cop's salary?
08:40It's not that bad.
08:41I mean, we make good money.
08:43My paycheck just evaporates.
08:45I mean, my dry cleaning bill alone is $500 a week.
08:47How are we supposed to afford that?
08:49We're not.
08:50What are you dry cleaning?
08:52Your jeans?
08:53Everything.
08:54Erin, do you know how to do your laundry?
08:57Laundry ruins your clothes.
08:58Dry cleaning is the most cost-effective in the long run.
09:01What?
09:01Who?
09:02Where did you hear that?
09:03My mom.
09:07Hey, what's up?
09:08I'm at my babysitting job and things are weird.
09:11Cosmo says when he woke up, both of his parents were gone
09:14and now no one's answering their phone.
09:16Okay, we'll be right there.
09:28Thanks for coming.
09:31Of course.
09:33Cosmo's in here.
09:35Okay.
09:38These are the cops I was telling you about.
09:40Hi.
09:41You good?
09:42How's the cereal?
09:44It's cereal.
09:45Hey, I offered you Unicorn Cloud Bread.
09:47You're the one who wanted Weedy Brand.
09:49Weirdo.
09:50Can I play on a switch?
09:52Go ahead.
09:52How's he doing?
09:58He hasn't said much.
10:00I know he's scared.
10:00He just doesn't want to admit it.
10:02Did you notice any signs of forced entry when you got here?
10:05No, I used my key to get in.
10:07I looked around for a little.
10:08Everything seems normal.
10:10No broken windows or anything.
10:11How old do you know the family?
10:12I've been working here for six months.
10:15The dad's a little aloof.
10:17He works a lot.
10:18Some investment thing.
10:19The mom's around more.
10:21She runs a non-profit.
10:23All right.
10:23Well, we'll check with our employers.
10:26Mr. Leitner, I've been calling you.
10:28You called the police.
10:29Sorry.
10:30Yeah.
10:31I couldn't find anyone.
10:32I was scared.
10:33I'm so sorry.
10:33It's all been so crazy.
10:35We had a family emergency.
10:37My wife had to fly home to deal with an aunt who had a heart attack.
10:39I should have told you.
10:40It completely slipped my mind.
10:42Where did you say your wife was?
10:44Cincinnati.
10:45She probably forgot her phone charger.
10:47Typical.
10:48This is all a big misunderstanding.
10:50And where were you?
10:51Your son woke up alone.
10:52I took her to the airport.
10:54I thought I could get back before he woke up.
10:57Is he okay?
10:58He's fine.
10:59He's in his room.
11:00I'll go talk to him.
11:01I'm so sorry you came out for nothing.
11:04Well, we need to talk to your wife to verify she's okay.
11:07It's protocol.
11:08You understand, right?
11:09Right.
11:11I'll get you her aunt's number.
11:12I know I have it somewhere.
11:14Here.
11:14Just give us her full name and approximate age and we'll find it.
11:19Of course.
11:20Should I take Cosmo to school?
11:22You know what?
11:22He's missed half the day already.
11:24Can you stay and look after him?
11:26No problem.
11:27Great.
11:28Again, I'm so sorry we wasted your time.
11:31I'll see you later.
11:33You buying that?
11:35Not a word.
11:36We should loop in the detectives.
11:38Hey, I'm taking a poll.
11:40How old were you when you did your first load of laundry?
11:42Oh, no idea.
11:44I was living at home though, so 14?
11:46Okay, Aaron's answer was never.
11:48He was never years old.
11:49What?
11:50He doesn't know how.
11:52I don't know why I should be so shocked.
11:54What about you?
11:55Six.
11:56I learned early my mom wasn't going to do it.
11:58Also not shocking.
11:59All right, well, I got to go, babe.
12:00I'll see you later at lunch.
12:02Yeah, I wouldn't miss it.
12:02It is a good thing you wore a helmet.
12:07I think you're going to be fine.
12:07I'll see you later.
12:24Hey, you hurt?
12:51I'm fine.
12:53My partner just went into surgery.
12:55Who shoots at an ambulance?
12:56I don't know.
12:57I saw a red sedan speeding off.
12:59I wish I could be more helpful.
13:00I'm sorry.
13:01I mean, don't apologize.
13:02You jumped in front and hit the brakes.
13:04That's badass.
13:05Badass or bad luck?
13:06This is the second partner I've sent into the hospital.
13:08Well, if you really think you have bad luck,
13:10I know a great curandera, she'll cleanse it right out.
13:12I'd take you up on that.
13:14She's got a word from the hospital.
13:15Your partner and the patient are gonna be okay.
13:17Oh, good. Thank you.
13:19They'll have police escorts until we figure out who the target was.
13:22I think they were shooting at the patient.
13:23It could have just been a random drive-by.
13:25I don't know.
13:26Well, we got officers canvassing, looking for security footage.
13:29We'll know more soon.
13:31So when you get done here, check in with Sergeant Hadley.
13:33She'll be coordinating the grid.
13:35On it.
13:36I don't suppose you'll be taking the rest of the day off?
13:38Because I got shot at?
13:39Silly question. Sorry I asked.
13:41You'll call me if you need anything.
13:42Thank you. I will.
13:50It's so important you can't even let me get to my office.
13:52We think Judge Rivas is on the take.
13:54That's a big accusation.
13:55I know.
13:56But I also know him.
13:57I know how his mind works.
13:58And his rulings have been inconsistent over the past three months.
14:00And it's not random.
14:01They're all tied and connected to Monica and her firm.
14:04He overwhelmingly rules in her favor.
14:06So you think she's bribing the judge to protect Elijah's guys?
14:09With Elijah writing the checks,
14:11she's under tremendous pressure to bring results.
14:14I wouldn't put it past her to bribe a judge.
14:16I'll try to get a warrant to search his financial records.
14:19Be careful. Judges look after each other.
14:21You have to approach someone you trust.
14:23Judge Zuckerman and I go way back.
14:25She will not warn Rivas.
14:26But will she openly go against another judge?
14:28There's only one way to find out.
14:29If Rivas is corrupt,
14:31it calls all his cases into question.
14:35Even the ones he didn't throw.
14:37No telling how many criminals could go free.
14:40I know.
14:41Give me a poster.
14:43How much do you spend on food?
14:46I'm not sure,
14:47but I think I still have all my takeout receipts.
14:50Okay.
14:51How much do you order in?
14:53You know, I feel like there's a right answer,
14:55but I don't have an idea what it is.
14:56Cooking is a lot more cost-effective,
14:58but you do know how to cook, right?
15:00Oh, yeah. I make the perfect martini.
15:02You're right about Sonya Leitner.
15:03She wasn't on any flight manifest,
15:05and none of her family in Ohio has heard from her.
15:07What about her cell phone?
15:08It last pinged near their house and went dead.
15:10We're gonna find her body in Griffith Park, aren't we?
15:12Bring her husband in. I want to talk to him.
15:14Okay.
15:23There's no excuses for a bad shot.
15:25Metro never misses.
15:30Good call.
15:31Mikey's a lovely man.
15:32Although his ex-wife might disagree.
15:34Good call.
15:35Mikey's a lovely man.
15:36Although his ex-wife might disagree.
15:37Yeah, Bradford. Nice.
15:39Well, clearly you got the goods to be here.
15:40And now that you're one of us, you get the company ink.
15:46What are you talking about?
15:47What ink?
15:48Well, it's the tattoo we all have, brother.
15:49It's how we show our loyalty.
15:50Oh, come on.
15:51We all know that as soon as a group of cops get the same tattoo,
15:52they're going to prison.
15:53What are you trying to say?
15:54All right, let me see it.
15:55Well, clearly, you got the goods to be here.
16:03And now that you're one of us, you get the company ink.
16:06What are you talking about? What ink?
16:08Well, it's the tattoo we all have, brother.
16:11It's how we show our loyalty.
16:13Oh, come on.
16:14We all know that as soon as a group of cops get the same tattoo, they're going to prison.
16:18What are you trying to say?
16:22All right, let me see it.
16:25Lighten up, brother. Here.
16:32Here.
16:33Have a unicorn.
16:35Too kind.
16:36Too kind. Thank you.
16:40We're testing you, seeing how far you'll bend.
16:43Yeah, I saw the same kind of thing when I was in the military.
16:45Not about how many stripes on your sleeves with this crew.
16:49It's all good. Team building.
16:51If you're going to lead this team, they need to know who you are.
16:54To him, the Tim Bradford that was tapped to join Metro in the first place.
17:02Thanks.
17:05Mr. Lightner, if your wife Sonia is in Ohio, do you have any idea why her car was parked in Hollywood with her phone and purse still inside?
17:13I don't know.
17:14See, in my line of work, when a woman takes a last-minute trip with no money, nine times out of ten, her husband's got something to do with it.
17:23So where's Sonia?
17:24I don't know.
17:26I swear, that's the truth.
17:28Look, you're right.
17:29I did lie to your officers earlier, but he said if I involved the police, he'd kill Sonia.
17:34Who said that?
17:35The man who took her.
17:38Sonia never came home last night.
17:40I was about to call the police when my phone rang, and they said if I ever wanted to see her again, I'd have to pay him $250,000.
17:47I need the number.
17:48It said blocked.
17:49Listen, I know, I shouldn't have lied, but I'd really prefer to handle this myself.
17:56Unfortunately, that's no longer an option, Mr. Lightner, and you owe it to your wife to use every resource available to bring her home safely.
18:01What do you think I've been trying to do?
18:07You're right.
18:08I'm sorry.
18:09It's all right.
18:09It's a stressful situation.
18:12Now, what can you tell me about the man's voice?
18:15To the left.
18:16To the left.
18:17To the right.
18:18To the left.
18:19Oh, watch out.
18:21I thought you were going to get first place.
18:24You don't want to play again?
18:30You know, I don't like to brag, but I'm like really good friends with the cops here.
18:37They're doing everything they can to make sure your mom comes home to you.
18:41And until she does, you can call me.
18:44Whenever you want.
18:46Even if it's just a talk.
18:47Got it?
18:52Cosmo, let's go.
18:59He did not look happy.
19:01He's not.
19:02What happened?
19:02Claims Sonia was kidnapped for a ransom, but doesn't want the cops involved.
19:05Do we buy that?
19:06Well, he's already lied to us once.
19:08I'm not taking anything at face value.
19:10He spent a lot of time at the house.
19:11Do you think he'd hurt her?
19:13No, he's never been violent.
19:15I've heard the margin maybe like twice.
19:18Why?
19:18Do you think he killed her?
19:19I'm not ruling anything out.
19:24We need a team to search the house.
19:26Once they're done, I want units parked outside.
19:27If he leaves for any reason, I want him followed.
19:30You got it.
19:30I'm going to get a warrant for his phone.
19:31For whatever reason, he cannot be allowed to make a money drop alone.
19:35If there even is a money drop.
19:36Detectives just got a partial plate from the surveillance footage to the ambulance shooting.
19:54Shooter left driving a 1992 Red Sentra.
19:57What do you got here?
19:59New car fire.
20:00No obvious sign of arson, but that's for the investigators to decide.
20:02Let's call in an 1185 for impound to our location.
20:05Copy that.
20:06Any news on that shooting from this morning?
20:08It's got all my guys a little on edge.
20:09Yeah, we got a lot of good detectives working on that.
20:12We'll let you know as soon as we learn something.
20:13Appreciate it.
20:14Toad truck's 30 minutes out.
20:15Right.
20:16Get out, get out.
20:21We got you.
20:22We got a hub coming.
20:23Call it in.
20:24Control, shot started at our location.
20:25We have a firefighter down.
20:26He is conscious and breathing.
20:27There are a and backup.
20:33Control, also send an airship.
20:34Suspect, fleeing location.
20:35Red Sedan, Eastern Olympic.
20:37We answer more than a thousand calls a day.
20:44My people can't do their jobs with a bullseye on their back.
20:46Effective immediately.
20:47The LAPD will dispatch units to accompany your firefighters on calls.
20:53We had cops at the burned out car.
20:54Didn't help.
20:55You need to catch this guy now.
20:58Yeah.
20:58You want to see me, sir?
21:03Yes, your mother called.
21:06Sir?
21:06As in me.
21:08As in asking why her son is dodging our calls.
21:11She even called dispatch.
21:14I am so sorry.
21:16Save your apologies.
21:18I don't want to hear from your crazy mother.
21:20Again.
21:21Oh.
21:21Get, if you, go.
21:23You okay?
21:30I'll be better once there's not some psycho gunning for every fire crew in the city.
21:34We'll find him.
21:36It's only a matter of time.
21:37Yeah.
21:40Mom?
21:40That's from a different number.
21:42Hello?
21:42Hello, I'm Dr. Schnitzel.
21:44Your mother was just admitted and we need to verify her insurance.
21:47Really?
21:47Dr. Schnitzel?
21:48You, you, you really think I'm going to buy that?
21:50I don't.
21:51Look, you tell my mom it's not happening.
21:54All right?
21:55And, and word of advice, don't let her pull you into any of her schemes.
21:58What was that?
21:59Uh, vintage mom.
22:00She's moved on to number five in her playbook.
22:02Pretend to be sick for sympathy.
22:03Get me to give my credit card number to an accomplice.
22:08Cosmo would love this.
22:10I've never seen a kid who is such a health nut.
22:13You've been putting in a lot of hours at their house.
22:17Not that many.
22:18And you're working the night shift somewhere.
22:20This morning you were not coming home from a party.
22:23Not dressed like that.
22:24You were coming home from a job.
22:26What's going on with you?
22:28You need money or something?
22:31I gotta get that first month, last month, and security deposit.
22:38It's not like I can stay here forever.
22:40Why would you say that?
22:41Of course you can.
22:43How's that gonna work?
22:44You, me, and Tim?
22:46And that's assuming you wouldn't want to get your own place.
22:49Either way, there's no room for me.
22:54Hey.
22:54Sorry I'm late.
22:56Ready for the movie?
22:57I found out that Time After Time is on a streaming platform.
22:59I think I'm gonna crash.
23:03Are you sure?
23:04David Warner is amazing in this.
23:11Well, I guess it's just us.
23:14Popcorn?
23:15Yeah, sure.
23:15Any chance your judge signed off on the warrant?
23:20Uh, short answer, no.
23:22Insufficient probable cause.
23:23And no judge who wants to imply that a fellow member of the bench is guilty of malfeasance.
23:26Well, no warrant, no evidence, no way of proving your judge is bent.
23:30I'm having a hard time believing it myself.
23:32He's one of the most honorable people I know.
23:34Yeah, I guess no one is incorruptible.
23:35You know, his chambers are just a few doors down.
23:41What if I go talk to him?
23:42I've been where he is.
23:44Maybe he'll open up.
23:45I don't have any better ideas.
23:49I gotta go.
23:51Wesley, you're working late.
23:54Yeah, you too.
23:55Just chatting with Rivas.
23:56Reminiscing.
23:57You know, a lot's changed.
23:59We split up.
24:00You got all sanctimonious.
24:01You sold your soul to the devil.
24:02It's really that simple to you, isn't it?
24:07Good and evil.
24:08In this case, yeah.
24:10It is.
24:11See you in court.
24:25Oh, Mr. Evers.
24:27I'm afraid I was just leaving.
24:29I'll be brief.
24:30I know you're throwing cases.
24:32I beg your pardon.
24:34I don't have any evidence.
24:37Monica's too smart for that.
24:39Elijah Stone is too smart for that.
24:43You didn't know, did you?
24:45He is her biggest client.
24:47Every time she asks you to rule in her favorites for one of his guys,
24:51you are helping rebuild his empire.
24:53I'm helping?
24:54The whole reason he's back on the streets is because of you.
24:56I know.
24:57I am well aware of my part in all this,
24:59which is why I know that you haven't slept in months,
25:02you can't concentrate,
25:03and sometimes your heart races so fast you think you're having a heart attack.
25:05A life lived in the service of justice.
25:08I always wanted that to be my legacy.
25:10It still can be.
25:11Help me put Elijah where he belongs.
25:15He goes after anyone who crosses him.
25:17I'm sure you could cut a deal for witness protection.
25:21And I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.
25:24Please leave.
25:28You know how to reach me if you change your mind.
25:29Any updates on Cosmo's mom?
25:50No.
25:51We had units parked outside all night.
25:53There was no movement.
25:54But, you know, they have his phones tapped,
25:56so if the kidnappers call, we'll know.
25:58Do you think she's still alive?
26:00Listen, if it's about money,
26:03they have every incentive to keep her alive
26:05until they get what they want.
26:10Cosmo?
26:10Dad says I'm not going to school,
26:12and he won't come out of his office.
26:14Can you come over?
26:15I'll be right there.
26:17Hey, I don't think that's a good idea.
26:19I have to.
26:22Tamara, I'll be parked outside, okay?
26:28You got here early.
26:29I did.
26:30I had a thought this morning.
26:33Our shooter is specifically targeting firefighters.
26:36You don't just get up one morning
26:37and decide to start shooting at LAFD.
26:40This is what it escalated to.
26:42I guess you thought I may have started somewhere.
26:43Exactly.
26:44So I started looking into any case
26:45that involves the fire department.
26:47Complaints, lawsuits, patrol calls, anything and everything.
26:50Well, I can help.
26:51No need.
26:52I got him.
26:54His name is Anthony Pickett.
26:55He's a firefighter.
26:57Ex-firefighter, to be specific.
26:59You aren't cutting didn't take a while.
27:00Yeah, he made it through the academy,
27:02but washed out during probation.
27:03Other firefighters found him to be difficult and aggressive.
27:05He actually picked a fight with an old-timer
27:07who later found the hose had been cut on his breathing apparatus.
27:12Short fuse.
27:14A few days after that,
27:15he showed up at the station that cut him,
27:16looking to get his job back.
27:18The unit was called out,
27:19but he seemed to accept his fate.
27:21But apparently he couldn't let it go.
27:23Okay, how do we know it's him?
27:24Cross-referenced his registered vehicle
27:26with our description and partial plate.
27:28It's a match.
27:29I already put out a bolo.
27:30I'll send Eunice to sell my house.
27:31Maybe we'll get lucky.
27:33Good work.
27:36I know I volunteered us for the most boring detail ever.
27:39Of course.
27:39You're worried about tomorrow.
27:40I get it.
27:41Yeah.
27:41Plus, it gives me time to apartment hunt.
27:44It's hard to find a place with a pool.
27:48Yeah.
27:48I mean, you might need to be a little flexible with that one.
27:51Well, I used your rent should be 30% of your salary rule.
27:54Oh.
27:54And there's, like, nothing in my price range.
27:57Well, hold on.
27:58That place is cute.
28:00Yeah.
28:00This place is trash.
28:02That place looks like my apartment.
28:15I'm going to go check on your dad.
28:30Hey.
28:31I think Dion's on the phone with the kidnappers now.
28:45I can hear him shouting.
28:46What's he saying?
28:47I can't make it out.
28:48He's emotional.
28:50It has to be them.
28:52Tamara, the detectives are listening to all of his known phones, okay?
28:55He's under surveillance.
28:56Just let the investigators do their job.
28:58All you got to do is make sure that kid is safe.
29:00That's it.
29:01His known phones.
29:02What if he's on a burner?
29:03Tamara.
29:04He's saying let me talk to her.
29:15Put her on.
29:19I don't have your money.
29:20I spent it.
29:21I didn't think you'd miss it.
29:25I'm sorry.
29:27Please don't hurt her.
29:31Tamara, don't let him know that you heard him, okay?
29:34Just get as far away as you can.
29:35We're heading in right now.
29:36That bastard.
29:38This happened because of him.
29:42He hung up.
29:43I gotta go.
29:47What are you doing?
29:48Listening in?
29:49Yeah.
29:50I heard everything.
29:51You did this for money?
29:53You don't understand.
29:54You're right.
29:54I don't understand.
29:56Police are on their way.
29:58Let them help you.
29:59No.
29:59These guys will kill her.
30:01Police!
30:03Mr. Lainer, you need to come with us.
30:10Time to come clean.
30:11Which one of your clients did you steal from?
30:13Are you sure Cosmo's okay?
30:15Tamara's with him.
30:16He's fine.
30:16You need to focus.
30:18We know you're risking me money,
30:19and we know someone took your wife in retaliation.
30:21Who was it?
30:23Rebuild.
30:24That wasn't very smart.
30:25He's killed for a lot less.
30:26I know, but I figured he's a criminal.
30:29I'm stealing back the money he stole.
30:31It's justice, kind of.
30:32How noble of you.
30:34Look, I know I'm not innocent in all this,
30:36but my wife is.
30:39Please help.
30:40I need you to call the people who have your wife
30:42and tell them you've got the money.
30:43Set up a place for the exchange.
30:44He knows I don't have the money.
30:45He'll know I'm lying.
30:46Tell them a family member came through.
30:48Wired it to you this morning.
30:49Okay.
30:50And then?
30:51Then you're going to write down a confession.
30:53Detailing how you embezzle money from a client.
30:58I'm going to jail, aren't I?
31:00Probably.
31:02I'm such an idiot.
31:04No argument from this side of the table.
31:06Rivas texted early this morning.
31:08Was it a full admission of guilt?
31:10Can we talk?
31:10He's been careful not to admit anything,
31:12but I can tell he wants to.
31:13Judge Rivas?
31:17Judge Rivas?
31:29He's cold.
31:30It looks like there's no injury, no blood.
31:34It looks like maybe a heart attack.
31:36Elijah did this.
31:37We don't know that for sure.
31:39At his age...
31:39Look, Monica saw me last night.
31:41She knew I could get through to him.
31:45Elijah had him killed
31:46to protect her.
32:00All right, everyone, switch to Channel 9.
32:03What's up?
32:04We have a confirmed hostage situation
32:05at that compound across the street.
32:07Hostage is Sonya Leitner,
32:09white female, dark hair,
32:10last seen with an orange sweater and black pants.
32:12We've identified five suspects on site,
32:14but there could be more.
32:15We don't know which building
32:16our hostage is being held in,
32:17so we need to clear everything.
32:18Detective Lopez will be our spotter.
32:20She'll provide overwatch.
32:21Why not let Metro provide overwatch?
32:23Because we need all our boots on the ground,
32:25and there's no one I'd rather have
32:26on my sixth than La Enelita.
32:29Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am.
32:31I had no idea.
32:33You're a legend at the range.
32:34No worries.
32:35Go get her back.
32:36You heard her.
32:37Let's move.
32:38No mistakes.
32:42Let's move.
33:12In position.
33:18Are we clear?
33:25Main concourse is clear.
33:26Green and go.
33:26Go.
33:42In position.
34:00Go.
34:01Police! Drop the weapon!
34:28Step away from the weapon. Put your hands up.
34:30Turn around. Put your hands on your head.
34:37B team, two in custody.
34:55Adam team, need trailers for one in custody.
34:57Ramp room. Moving forward on our sweep.
35:08Police! Police!
35:10Get on the ground! Don't move!
35:12Now! Now!
35:14See team two in custody.
35:17Shut up already!
35:32I said shut up!
35:34Get on the power when I get the signal.
35:49It is what it is.
35:50Police aren't about anger doing no good.
36:04Come on. Just take one step.
36:09Something's wrong. Time's up.
36:11It's okay.
36:12Adam team, one in custody.
36:26Hostage is safe. We are code four.
36:29It's okay. It's okay. You're safe now.
36:32I said 950, nice on suspect.
36:33I said 950, nice on suspect.
36:37I love you!
36:40Set 950, eyes on suspect.
36:42I love you!
37:06Police!
37:09Don't.
37:10If you move an inch towards that trunk,
37:12I'll be forced to shoot you.
37:14Hands in the air.
37:16Now!
37:17Okay.
37:19Step back towards my voice.
37:21Again.
37:22Again.
37:23On your knees.
37:32Suspect and custody were code 4.
37:34Better bring in the bomb squad.
37:36Someone bar a grenade to the party.
37:40You're welcome.
37:41For what?
37:42Well, I created an Excel spreadsheet for your expenses.
37:43I used something similar when I first started on the job.
37:44It is super helpful.
37:45And I can send you the app as well.
37:46And trust me, you're gonna feel so gratified when you hit your target at the end of the month.
37:51And you'll see that those juices aren't on the daily budget.
37:56Sorry.
37:57I appreciate that.
37:58But I talked to my mom last night and she's backing down on the whole action figure thing.
38:02So it's all good.
38:03Oh.
38:04So you're taking her money again.
38:05Yeah, I just can't live in poverty.
38:06It's not poverty.
38:07Aaron!
38:08Aaron!
38:09Hey, Bradford.
38:10Good job out there today.
38:11Thanks.
38:12They're a good bunch once you get to know them.
38:13Yeah, I'll take your word for it.
38:14Nothing against patrol but Metro is a different beast.
38:16We get caught in situations that are already there.
38:19We're all wrong.
38:20You're like, hey.
38:21I'm going to do this right now.
38:22And so I'm gonna take your word for it.
38:23Fine, I'm just gonna take you to get my money.
38:24I'm gonna take my money.
38:25What?
38:26I'm just gonna take my money.
38:27I can't take my money.
38:28I'm gonna take my money.
38:29All right.
38:30I'm gonna take my money.
38:31Maybe I'm just gonna pay it back home.
38:32You don't pay my money.
38:33Yeah.
38:34I'm not gonna pay my money.
38:35I'm not gonna pay my money.
38:36You only pay them.
38:37I'm not gonna pay my money.
38:38You're not gonna pay my money.
38:39I'm gonna pay my money for that money.
38:40Metro's a different beast.
38:42We get called in situations that are already at a boiling point.
38:45That kind of stress creates a special bond.
38:48And I'm on the outside of that.
38:50And every single one of them was, too, at some point.
38:53Give it a little time.
38:55Okay.
38:57You want to grab a beer with us?
38:59Do I have a choice?
39:01That's tradition. New guy buys a round.
39:04Come on.
39:05Yes, I'm happy to send over my references.
39:11And I can start whenever you need me.
39:13Thanks.
39:15Hey. You're looking for another job?
39:18Uh, Cosmo's parents are definitely getting a divorce.
39:21Sonya wants to keep me on, but she's not sure if she can afford it with all the legal fees.
39:25So, you're not so worried about having to move out, are you?
39:29I just don't want to be a burden.
39:32You're not.
39:33Tamara, look, I get it.
39:36Your whole life you've been displaced from one home to another, but that's over now.
39:40Girl, we're family.
39:42You couldn't get rid of me if you tried.
39:45Thanks.
39:47But I will get my own place eventually.
39:49I don't plan to be the weirdo roommate when you and Tim start having babies.
39:53That's a long way off.
39:55But I don't know, maybe it could work out.
39:56I heard you're a really good babysitter.
39:58You can't afford my rate.
40:00It's like that.
40:01It is.
40:02Okay.
40:03And you're really gonna leave all your artwork behind?
40:07Wesley, keep bothering me and my associates.
40:09I'll happily alert the press.
40:10Judge Rivas is dead.
40:11Yes, I heard.
40:12What happened?
40:13Heart attack.
40:14But we both know that's a lie.
40:15Elijah had him killed for you.
40:16That's ridiculous.
40:17He believed in you when you were starting out.
40:18And for good reason.
40:19I am an excellent lawyer and profoundly litigious.
40:20So watch the accusations.
40:21I did warn you.
40:22This is the price of working for Elijah.
