The Rookie (2018) s02e19 Episode Script
The Q Word
♪♪
Nolan: Swear to God,
now he has this woman tied up,
his own aunt.
He has a shotgun rigged
with duct tape and a string
so he can shoot her
from the fireplace.
Yeah, while Chen's across town
going toe-to-toe with the 5-4.
Yeah, thirty gang members
against me and my T.O.
[ Chuckles ] Oh, my God,
that's hardcore.
How the hell'd
you get out of that?
No joke, my T.O. goes,
"When you're in the LAPD"
Together:
"You're never alone."
And right on cue, an airship
arrives with a SWAT team.
[ Laughing ]
Damn,
there's me thinking
discharging my weapon this year
was a big deal.
Aw, don't beat yourself up,
Chris.
I'm sure someday
you'll catch up.
[ All murmuring ]
Oh, it's like that?
Oh, yeah.
It's like that.
Come on, you guys. We're not
in the Academy anymore.
We don't have to be
competitive about everything.
Well, it's not a competition
when I always win.
[ Group "Oh"s ]
Ooh, that's a deep cut!
But he does have a point.
That's it, West.
Hmm?
You and me,
right now --
We're gonna settle this thing
once and for all.
Mm.
[ Cheering, laughter ]
Drink up. Drink up.
[ Cheering ]
I can't believe they still can't
let go of their rivalry.
Can't you? They were first
and second at the Academy.
Their dads were
first and second.
Oh! Sorry! Sorry!
Oh, ho, ho!
[ Chuckling ] You okay?
Yep.
Nope.
I was just gonna get some air.
How about you join me?
[ Exhales sharply ]
Sorry.
No, no, no. Don't.
[ Cheering ]
So, I'm actually fine.
Justa little worried
about Chris.
I mean, you always gave
the best advice at the Academy.
Thank you.
Uh, what's going on?
At first, I thought
it was just a rocky transition.
You know, going from
being top of the class
to being just another Boot.
Buthe never
really evened out.
Did you know he barely passed
our six-month exam?
Can you believe that?
Actually, I can.
If he came in
expecting it to be easy,
I mean, it is not.
I'm worried.
What if he's really
not ready?
Should I say something?
I can't answer that
for you.
I can tell you that this year
has been tough for all of us.
I mean, no vacation,
no sick days,
constantly under
a microscope.
We've all stumbled.
Yeah.
If I were you,
I would just
tell Chris
you're there for him.
And if he can bear down
for one more month,
then he can
take some time off
and just clear his head,
you know, reset.
I've been trying to convince him
to go on the road with me,
take an RV and camp,
hike,
just disconnect
from all the noise
before we come back
as P2s.
See,
that would be perfect.
Yeah.
Thanks.
I knew I'd feel better
talking to you.
50 bucks.
Nolan!
I need your help.
I'm sorry.
How is this helping?
Jackson and I are tied.
One more event
will settle this.
If you hit Nolan,
you lose.
Wait,
what game is this?
Suicide darts.
Suicide darts.
Ow!
[ Alarm clock ringing ]
[ Ringing stops ]
I do not wanna
go to work today.
Mm, you can be
a few minutes late.
[ Scoffs ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Groans ]
Yeah, and do push-ups
in between every call
and jog behind the shop?
No, thanks.
Mm.
Oh, come on!
Mnh-mnh!
Bradford's chill.
I mean, maybe if you're
playing pick-up with him,
but not when
he's your T.O.
He once designed an IED
to blow up baby powder
in my face
just to make a point.
Is he allowed
to do that?
I just need to get through
the next thirty days,
and then I will be free.
No more mind games.
No more Tim Tests.
No more chewing me out
in public.
Okay, so you're saying
thirty days,
and then I can
make you late?
Mm.
Hm?
Mm.
Umlisten.
If we bump into
each other at work,
can we please
just play it cool?
I'm not cool?
No!
You know what I mean!
Like, on theD.L.
The D.L.?
Yep, I said that.
I'm sorry.
[ Laughing ]
Don't laugh!
Don't you work
with your roommate?
Oh, Jackson's got my back.
He would never talk.
Well, I can't promise I'll be
able to keep my eyes off of you,
but otherwise, deal.
Thank you.
Mm.
Aah!
[ Both laugh ]
But, wait,
Grace might actually
let her ex-husband
come back home?
For the sake of her son.
Look, I-I get
where she's coming from.
I mean, I did something similar
with my ex.
Staying together
for the kid,
even when you knew
the relationship was doomed.
Did that actually make things
better for Henry?
No.
But what am I gonna do?
Mansplain to her that
she's making a mistake?
How well
is that gonna go over?
Yeah, not well.
But if you
leave her alone,
you risk giving the ex
an opening.
Tough one.
I'm looking for
some sage advice here.
If you haven't noticed, my
personal life's a dumpster fire.
All I can say is
I'm rooting for you two.
Good luck, buddy.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Claps hands ]
You can do it.
I'm telling you.
[ Laughs ]
Today is our rookies' one-year
mark in the F.T.O. program.
Congratulations
on not washing out.
[ Cheering ]
Yet.
We'll see.
There's still time.
That also means
today is the start
of your Thirty Day Push.
Why is that important,
Officer Nolan?
Because in one month,
we will no longer be
probationary employees,
but fully fledged
patrol officers of the LAPD?
No.
Damn it.
Because, as your T.O.s
have pointed out,
you are not there yet.
The end of the race
is always the hardest.
The Push is to remind you
not to celebrate
until you cross
the finish line.
Understand?
Together: Yes, sir.
Good.
Andthat's all I got.
For the first time
in history,
the night shift
did their jobs --
left no open cases
that require follow-up.
So, go on,
find some crime.
And be safe out there.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
It's weird we haven't had
any calls yet.
Crime doesn't run
on a schedule, Boot.
[ Police radio chatter ]
What are you
so happy about?
What? Nothing.
Can't I smile?
You've just been doing it
a lot lately.
I didn't realize
happiness was an impediment
to being a good cop.
I'm just surprised
you haven't tried
to talk my ear off
about whatever it is.
So, what?
Did you rescue a kitten?
Adopt a star?
My personal life
is none of your business.
Finally.
There's hope for you yet.
[ Scoffs ]
Lopez: My mom
is driving me crazy.
She's teamed up
with Wesley's mom,
so every time
I try to make a decision
about the wedding,
I'm outnumbered.
You're the bride.
Shouldn't you get final say?
I'm the only girl
in either family,
so they're
living vicariously.
And I don't have
the bandwidth to push back
because I'm so focused on
making detective.
If I don't make
the next round of promotions,
I'll have to take
the detective's exam again.
But while
I'm distracted,
those viejas
are hijacking my wedding.
Come on. I'm pretty sure
it's not that bad.
They decided the color scheme
should be pink and peach.
Oh, no.
Do I look like a woman
who's ever worn peach?
No. You're definitely
an autumn.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Police radio chatter ]
Is that?
No.
No.
Wait a second.
No. Forget it.
Okay, so, how about you make
visual confirmation
before you speak?
Roger that.
You a little nervous
about court today?
My lawyer says,
with all of my positive changes
that I've made
and my improved relationship
with Donovan, there's no reason
the judge shouldn't grant me
shared custody.
That's great!
Yeah, except the judge
is a real hard-ass
and has a reputation for being
unorthodox in his rulings.
I'm sure you have
nothing to worry about.
Man! I don't know that I've
ever had a shift this quiet.
[ Tires screech ]
Did you really just say
the "Q" word in my shop?
What? Quie--
Na-na-ah-ah-ah-ah!
Stop!
You do not,
under any circumstance,
ever use the "Q" word
while on duty.
That is like
saying "Macbeth" in theater
or talking about a no-hitter
in the dugout.
Okay. I had no idea
you were superstitious.
That is not superstition.
That's fact.
[ Seatbelt clicks ]
Where are you going?
I am going to get
the trauma plate for my vest,
'cause I have a feeling
I'm gonna need it.
You and your big mouth probably
just cost me custody of my kid.

you were there pushing me.

Harper has a custody hearing

What the hell?
You got something?
Yeah, a police report.
There's more.
"Suspect -- Serj Derian."
His name's
all over these.
Someone inside
the department
has been feeding intel
to the Armenian mob.
And by someone,
you mean
A dirty cop.
Come in.
Close the door.
So, Bradford and Chen just found
confidential police documents
in Serj's home.
Case files for LAPD
investigations into the Derians.
You saying there's a mole
inside the department?
It'd explain why these guys
have been so slippery.
So, we haven't been able to make
a single case against them.
What does
internal affairs say?
They're mobilizing.
Commander West was keeping it
close to the vest,
but I got a sense they already
have a few cops in mind.
So, what do we do
in the meantime?
Serj's older brother --
Ruben.
[ Clears throat ]
He runs things
from his house in Glendale.
There's a chance
Serj is holed up there.
If not, Ruben's the first person
we should be questioning.
Why are you only
telling me all this?
I know I can trust you.
So I'm making you
acting detective
until this calms down.
You already passed the exam,
so I might as well
take advantage of you
until the brass realizes
what they're missing out on.
Copy that.
So, round up as many units
as you need,
call a judge for
a telephonic search warrant.

to get shot for it to happen.

Hey. How was court?
Did the judge --
He's gonna make his decision
tomorrow morning.
But how about we focus on
the murder weapon
that went missing
from the shop?
Okay, you saw me
bag it
and put it
in the lock box.
The only time we stopped between
the scene and the station
was at Serj's house,
for the raid.
Could one of his guys
have taken it?
No, not possible.
We had the perimeter
completely contained,
and I locked the car.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Mostly sure.
Almost mostly sure.
Even if I didn't,
it was secured in the lock box.
And there's no sign
of forced entry.
None.
You find the gun?
No, and I don't think
he's going to.
Why?
The lock box in the shop
wasn't broken into,
but the key for the boxes
is universal across the LAPD.
You think
a cop took the gun?
It's the only
logical explanation.
We know there's a dirty cop
connected to Serj.
They must have heard on the
radio I'd secured the weapon.
How long were you away
from the shop during the raid?
Uh, we were,
what, 20 minutes?
More than enough time for
one of the officers involved
to take the gun.
It makes sense,
but it's cold comfort.
Even if we get
the weapon back,
the chain of custody
has been destroyed.
The D.A. can't use it
to convict Serj
for the murder
of Officer Rios.
If we ever find the guy.
Oh, we'll find him.
I'm calling all the officers
from the raid
back to the station.
Officer Lopez
will be in charge
of going through
all the body cam footage.
What can we do?
You and Armstrong can
take a run at Ruben Derian.

something out of him.
It'd be my pleasure.
