The Rookie (2018) s05e14 Episode Script

Previously on "The Rookie"
What's Metro doing here?
Metro would be a good fit for Tim.
There's an opening in Metro.
Lieutenant Pine just called me,
and I'm going over.
That's great.
Monica. What are you doing here?
Elijah Stone is my client.
Elijah's attorney?
We used to be engaged.
Hi.
I'm his mother.
- The boxes?
- Your mother sold me snake oil?
This is my boss' wife.
Do you have any idea what this
could do to my career?
Goodbye.
Alright. Turn to your left.
Turn to your right.
You know, the boardwalk
is a public place.
I have a right to perform.
Well, it does not give you the right
to pick your audience's pockets.
Let's go.
You know I can get out of these, right?
You can try.
- Voilà.
- I'm a master escape artist.
Cute.
Let's go.
You know, no cage can hold me.
Yeah?
Alright.
What about this cage?
A magician is always prepared.
How did you think that was gonna work?
Yeah, no.
I didn't get that far.
No, you said that already.
And I already explained it to you.
That's ridiculous.
No.
Absolutely not.
No.
I'm done.
No
I am done.
Your mom?
How'd you know?
Your shoulders are touching your ears.
What's the latest?
She is, uh, devastated
that she hasn't been
invited to the wedding.
Did you tell her we're
not doing a big thing?
We literally have two guests.
Explained all that.
Doesn't matter.
Still a knife through her heart.
Look, if it helps,
I don't mind inviting her.
No.
No way, no.
It's
It's not even about the wedding.
She wants me to pay her not to come
$10,000
- What?
- I know.
Don't worry.
She is not coming.
I will not let her ruin our wedding.
Mm.
Oh.
Did I miss it?
It's cute.
Why are you up so early?
I was gonna get a photo
of your reaction.
It's Metro training today.
As the newbie, it's my job to, uh,
haul in the gear and the ammo.
Yeah, the newbie.
The boot.
- I'm a sergeant.
- Mnh-mnh.
You're still a boot in my book.
Oh. Hey.
Are you just getting home?
Must've been a heck of a party.
Yeah.
Rager.
Mm.
Did I interrupt something?
No. No,
I-I was just heading out.
Uh, can't be late on my first day.
Mm-hmm.
- Bye.
- Hey.
You're gonna be great today.
Knock 'em dead.
Bye.
Good morning.
- Whatever.
- He is!
- Well, of course you'd say that.
- Because it's the truth.
Like you've ever cared about the truth.
Okay, that's enough.
I'd ask where this
animosity is coming from,
but I have an idea.
Okay, this has nothing
to do with our past
and everything to do with the law.
Let's focus on the law, then, shall we?
You're presenting a motion to exclude.
- Yes, Your Honor.
- You disagree.
Mr. Parker is an eyewitness
to this crime.
He picked the shooter out of a lineup.
His testimony is essential,
to this case.
Miss Stevens.
You know as well as anyone
eyewitness testimony is flawed,
and this witness had
a gun pointed at him.
High levels of stress
negatively impact memory.
Okay, but any eyewitness to a crime
has experienced high levels of stress.
Are we throwing out
the very notion of witnesses?
Do not put words in my mouth.
Okay.
I'm inclined to side with Monica
on this one.
I'm excluding his testimony.
Wha
On-on what grounds?
- That's absurd.
- Watch yourself.
I'm sorry.
I meant no disrespect.
Um
I'm gonna need a few minutes
to confer with my team.
Good idea.
Thank you.
Okay,
you have an active
shooter still at large.
Your job is to locate the
suspect and stop the threat.
Bang. You're dead.
- You're telegraphing.
- You're dead.
Bang, dead.
You're dead.
Dead.
Bang, dead.
Bradford, this isn't patrol.
This is Metro.
Major crimes, terrorism,
barricades, hostages.
We are an elite unit.
Your form's got to be perfect, man.
Alright.
Let's take 10.
What, there's only
one way to clear a room?
That's news to me,
'cause I've actually done this
a million times successfully.
Don't worry.
Happens to everyone.
Metro takes some getting used to.
You'll get it.
That is the dumbest
ruling I've ever heard.
Yeah, I agree.
But we're gonna have to make this case
without Parker's testimony.
Do you really think the
jury will convict without?
No, I'm filing for a continuance.
My team needs to regroup.
Well, I guess I'm not testifying today.
Oh, it's just as well.
I was gonna have to
hand this one over to you.
Well, there's nothing
like a baby to win over a jury.
Oh, well, we're gonna need
all the help we can get
without that testimony.
Didn't something similar happen
in one of Lopez's cases
just, like, last month?
I'm never assigned to
anything she's investigated.
I remember she was pissed.
She handed your office a perfect case.
Practically had a bow on it,
and then it fell apart in trial.
- It was the same judge.
- Well, judges can be fickle.
It's hard to predict how they'll rule.
But Rivas has been solid,
until recently.
True.
You know, I clerked for him
back when I was starting out.
Monica and I both did.
Mind like a scalpel.
Yeah, but he is getting older.
I mean, if he's starting to slip,
someone should talk to him
about retiring.
I mean, maybe a former clerk
who knows how to cushion the blow.
Mm. Sorry.
Can't stop, not even for a second.
That's okay.
I've literally been there.
You go.
I'll deal with Rivas.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Oh!
Hey.
I just heard of a new
place to try for lunch.
It's Chinese-Ukrainian fusion.
- Is it cheap?
- No, but
What? You're rich.
No, my parents are rich, okay?
And I'm not gonna take
any more of their money.
Since when?
Since my mom showed me a prototype
of a new Aaron Thorsen action figure.
Wha
That sounds awesome.
No, look, I worked hard
to have people
take me serious as a cop.
I'm not gonna undermine it
for a couple million dollars.
Hold on.
I'm sorry.
- A couple million?
- Yeah.
Dude, if you're
not gonna do it, I will.
Lucy Chan, Fist of Justice.
- What are you doing?
- Hi.
I'm, uh
I'm working on my side hustle.
Oh.
What's on your head?
You have a
You have a little
something on your head.
Uh, no.
It-it's nothing.
I just need to get situated
into my new office.
Metro-Police liaison.
Best of both worlds.
That's right.
Well, at least it won't
take too long to move in.
No.
Alright.
She's your mom.
I mean, how can you not have
your mom at your wedding?
She's a narcissist,
and a borderline con woman.
- She tried to fleece Sergeant Grey.
- Okay, that's not good.
And not even close
to the worst thing she's done.
Yeah, but she's your mom.
Look, 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.
Look, I run into this all the time.
You have a fundamentally good mom,
so, of course,
you can't imagine my situation.
You're right.
I don't know what you've dealt with.
I shouldn't judge.
I will.
She's your mother.
She gave you life, man.
We caught you trying to pawn
your mother's jewelry to buy drugs.
You don't get an opinion.
Seriously, how do you
live on a cop's salary?
- It's not that bad.
- I mean, we make good money.
My paycheck just evaporates.
I mean, my dry-cleaning bill
alone is $500 a week.
How are we supposed to afford that?
We're not.
W-What are you dry-cleaning?
Your jeans?
- Everything.
- Aaron
Do you know how to do your laundry?
Laundry ruins your clothes.
Dry cleaning is the most
cost-effective in the long run.
What
Who
- Where did you hear that?
- My mom.
Hey, what's up?
I'm at my babysitting job,
and things are weird.
Cosmo says when he woke up,
both of his parents were gone,
and now no one's answering their phone.
Okay.
We'll be right there.
Thanks for coming.
Yeah, of course.
Cosmo's in here.
These are the cops
I was telling you about.
- Hi.
- You good?
- How's the cereal?
- Mm, it's cereal.
Hey, I offered you unicorn cloud bread.
You're the one who wanted Wheetie Bran.
Weirdo.
Can I play on the Switch?
Go ahead.
- How's he doing?
- He hasn't said much,
but I know he's scared.
He just doesn't want to admit it.
Did you notice any signs of
forced entry when you got here?
No, I-I used my key to get in.
I looked around for a little.
Everything seems normal.
No broken windows or anything.
How well do you know the family?
I've been working here for six months.
The dad's a little aloof.
He works a lot.
Some investment thing.
The mom's around more.
She runs a nonprofit.
Alright, well, we'll check
with their employers.
Mr. Laetner.
I've been calling you.
You called the police.
Sorry, uh, yeah, um
I couldn't find anyone.
I was scared.
I'm so sorry.
It's all been so crazy.
We had a family emergency.
My wife had to fly home,
to deal with an aunt
who had a heart attack.
I should have told you.
It
Completely slipped my mind.
Where did you say your wife was?
Cincinnati.
Uh, she probably forgot
her phone charger. Typical.
This is all a-a big misunderstanding.
And where were you?
Your son woke up alone.
I
Took her to the airport.
I thought I could get back
before he woke up.
Is he okay?
He's fine.
He's in his room.
I'll go talk to him.
I'm so sorry you came out for nothing.
Well, we need to talk to your
wife to, uh, verify she's okay.
It's protocol.
- You understand, right?
- Right.
Um
I'll get you her aunt's number.
I know I have it somewhere.
Here.
Just give us her full name
and approximate age,
and we'll find it.
Of course.
Should I take Cosmo to school?
You know what?
He's missed half the day already.
Can you stay and look after him?
- No problem.
- Great.
Again, I'm so sorry
we wasted your time.
I'll see you later.
- You buying that?
- Not a word.
We should loop in the detectives.
Hey.
I'm taking a poll.
How old were you when you did
your first load of laundry?
Ooh.
No idea.
I was living at home, though,
so 14?
Okay, Aaron's answer was never.
- He was never years old.
- What?!
He doesn't know how.
I don't know
why I should be so shocked.
What about you?
6, I learned early my
mom wasn't gonna do it.
Also not shocking.
Alright, well, I got to go, babe.
I'll see you later at lunch.
Yeah, wouldn't miss it.
It is a good thing you wore a
helmet. I think you're gonna be fine.
Aah!
Hey.
You hurt?
I'm fine.
My partner just went into surgery.
- Who shoots at an ambulance?
- I don't know.
I saw a red sedan speeding off.
I wish I could be more helpful.
I'm sorry.
I mean, don't apologize.
You jumped in front
and hit the brakes.
That's badass.
Badass or bad luck?
This is the second partner
I've sent into the hospital.
Well, if you really think
you have bad luck,
I know a great curandera.
She'll cleanse it right out.
I might take you up on that.
Just got word from the hospital.
Your partner and the patient
are gonna be okay.
Oh, God. Thank you.
They'll have police escorts
until we figure out who the target was.
Think they were
shooting at the patient?
It could have just been
a random drive-by. I don't know.
Well, we've got officers canvassing,
looking for security footage.
We'll know more soon.
So, when you get done here,
check in with Sergeant Hadley.
She'll be coordinating the grid.
On it.
I don't suppose you'll be
taking the rest of the day off?
Because I got shot at?
Silly question.
Sorry I asked.
You'll call me if you need anything?
Thank you.
I will.
What's so important you can't
even let me get to my office?
We think Judge Rivas is on the take.
- That's a big accusation.
- I know.
But I also know him.
I know how his mind works.
And his rulings have been
inconsistent over the past three months,
and it's not random.
They're all tied and connected
to Monica and her firm.
He overwhelmingly rules in her favor.
So you think she's bribing the
judge to protect Elijah's guys?
With Elijah writing the checks,
she's under tremendous
pressure to bring results.
I wouldn't put it past her
to bribe a judge.
I'll try to get a warrant
to search his financial records.
- Be careful.
- Judges look after each other.
You have to approach someone you trust.
Judge Zuckerman and I go way back.
She will not warn Rivas.
But will she openly
go against another judge?
There's only one way to find out.
If Rivas is corrupt,
it calls all his cases into question.
Even the ones he didn't throw.
No telling how many criminals
could go free.
I know.
Keep me posted.
How much do you spend on food?
I'm not sure, but I think I still have
all my takeout receipts.
Okay.
How much do you order in?
You know, I feel like
there's a right answer,
but I don't have an idea what it is.
Cooking is a lot more
cost-effective, but
You do know how to cook, right?
- Oh, yeah.
- I make the perfect martini.
You were right about Sonia Laetner.
She wasn't on any flight manifest,
and none of her family in Ohio
has heard from her.
What about her cellphone?
It last pinged near their house,
then went dead.
We're gonna find her body
in Griffith Park, aren't we?
Bring her husband in.
I want to talk to him.
Okay.
There's no excuses for a bad shot.
Metro never misses.
Good call.
Mikey's a lovely man.
Although his ex-wife might disagree.
Yeah, Bradford.
Nice.
Well, clearly
you got the goods to be here.
And now that you're one of us,
you get the company ink.
What are you talking about?
What ink?
It's the tattoo we all have, brother.
- It's how we show our loyalty.
- Oh, come on.
We all know that as
soon as a group of cops
get the same tattoo,
they're going to prison.
What are you trying to say?
Alright, let me see it.
Lighten up, brother.
Here.
Here.
Have a unicorn.
Too kind.
Too kind.
Thank you.
They're testing you,
seeing how far you'll bend.
Yeah, I saw the same kind of
thing when I was in the military.
Not about how many stripes
on your sleeves with this crew.
It's all good.
Team building.
If you're gonna lead this team,
they need to know who you are.
Show them the Tim Bradford
that was tapped to join
Metro in the first place.
Thanks.
Mr. Laetner,
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?
I don't know.
See, in my line of work,
when a woman takes a last-minute
trip with no money,
9 times out of 10, her husband's
got something to do with it.
So where's Sonia?
I don't know.
I swear.
That's the truth.
Look, you're right.
I-I did lie to your officers earlier.
But he said if I involved
the police, he'd kill Sonia.
- Who said that?
- The man who took her.
Look, Sonia never came home last night.
I 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.
- I need the number.
- It said "blocked."
Listen.
I know I-I shouldn't have lied,
but I'd really prefer
to handle this myself.
Unfortunately, that's no longer
an option, Mr. Laetner.
And you owe it to your wife
to use every resource available
to bring her home safely.
What do you think
I've been trying to do?!
You're right.
I-I'm, I'm sorry.
- It's alright.
- It's a stressful situation.
Now, what can you tell me
about the man's voice?
To the left.
To the left.
To the right.
To the left.
Oh! Watch out! Mm.
I thought you were gonna
get first place.
You don't want to play again?
You know, I don't like to brag,
but I'm, like, really good
friends with the cops here.
They're doing everything they can
to make sure your mom
comes home to you.
And until she does, you can call me.
Whenever you want.
Even if it's just to talk.
Got it?
Cosmo, let's go.
- He did not look happy.
- He's not.
What happened?
Claims Sonia was kidnapped for a ransom
but doesn't want the cops involved.
- Do we buy that?
- He's already lied to us once.
I'm not taking anything at face value.
You spend a lot of time at the house.
- Do you think he'd hurt her?
- No. He's
He's never been violent.
I've heard them argue maybe like twice.
Why?
Do you think he killed her?
I'm not ruling anything out.
We need a team to search the house.
Once they're done,
I want units parked outside.
If he leaves for any reason,
- I want him followed.
- You got it.
I'm gonna get a warrant for his phone.
For whatever reason,
he cannot be allowed
to make a money drop alone
if there even is a money drop.
Alright. Come on.
Detectives just got a partial plate
from the surveillance footage
near the ambulance shooting.
Shooter left driving a 1992 red Sentra.
What do you got here?
New car fire.
No obvious sign of arson,
but that's for the
investigators to decide.
Let's call in an 11-85
- for an impound to our location.
- Copy that.
So any news on that shooting
from this morning?
It's got all my guys a little on edge.
Yeah. We got a lot of good
detectives working on that.
We'll let you know
as soon as we learn something.
- Appreciate it.
- Tow truck's 30 minutes out.
Right.
Get down.
Get down.
Pull him up.
We got you.
We got help coming.
- Call it in.
- Control, shots fired at our location.
We have a firefighter down.
He is conscious and breathing.
Send an R.A. and backup.
Control, also send an airship.
Suspect fleeing location,
red sedan, east on Olympic.
We answer more than 1,000 calls a day.
My people can't do their jobs
with a bull's-eye on their back.
Effective immediately,
the LAPD will dispatch units
to accompany your
firefighters on calls.
We had cops at the burned-out car.
Didn't help.
You need to catch this guy.
Now.
Yeah.
You wanted to see me, sir?
Yes.
Your mother called.
- Sir?
- As in me.
As in asking why her
son is dodging her calls.
She even called Dispatch.
I am so sorry.
Save your apologies.
I don't want to hear
from your crazy mother again.
I'll get If you
I'll
Go.
You okay?
I'll be better once
there's not some psycho
gunning for every
fire crew in the city.
We'll find him.
It's only a matter of time.
Yeah.
- Mom?
- Well, it's from a different number.
- Hello.
- Hello. I'm Dr. Schnitzel.
Your mother was just admitted,
and we need to verify her insurance.
Really?
Dr. Schnitzel?
Y-Y-You really think
I'm gonna buy that?
- I don't
- Look, You tell my mom,
it's not happening.
Alright?
A-And word of advice
Don't let her pull you
into any of her schemes.
- What was that?
- Ah, vintage Mom.
She's moved on to number 5
in her playbook
Pretend to be sick for sympathy,
get me to give my credit card
number to an accomplice.
Cosmo would love this.
I've never seen a kid
who was such a health nut.
You've been putting in
a lot of hours at their house.
Not that many.
And you're working
the night shift somewhere.
This morning, you were
not coming home from a party.
Not dressed like that.
You were coming home from a job.
What's going on with you?
You need money or something?
I got to get that first month,
last month,
and security deposit.
It's not like I can stay here forever.
Why would you say that?
Of course you can.
How's that gonna work?
You, me, and Tim?
And that's assuming you wouldn't
want to get your own place.
Either way, there's no room for me.
Hey.
Sorry I'm late.
Ready for the movie?
I found out that "Time After Time"
is on a streaming platform.
I think I'm gonna crash.
Are you sure?
David Warner is amazing in this.
Well,
I guess it's just us.
- Popcorn?
- Yeah, sure.
Any chance your judge signed off
on the warrant?
Uh, short answer, no.
"Insufficient probable cause."
No judge wants to imply
that a fellow member of the
bench is guilty of malfeasance.
Well, no warrant, no evidence.
No way of proving your judge is bent.
I'm having a hard time
believing it myself.
He's one of the most
honorable people I know.
Yeah, I guess no one is incorruptible.
You know, his chambers
are just a few doors down.
What if I go talk to him?
I've been where he is.
Maybe he'll open up.
I don't have any better ideas.
I got to go.
Wesley.
- You're working late.
- Yeah, you, too.
- Just chatting with Rivas?
- Reminiscing.
You know, a lot's changed.
We split up.
You got all sanctimonious.
You sold your soul to the devil.
It's really that simple to you,
isn't it?
Good and evil.
In this case, yeah.
It is.
- See you in court.
- Hmm.
Mr. Evers.
I'm afraid I was just leaving.
I'll be brief.
I know you're throwing cases.
I beg your pardon?
I don't have any evidence.
Monica's too smart for that.
Elijah Stone is too smart for that.
You didn't know, did you?
He is her biggest client.
Every time she asks you
to rule in her favor,
it's for one of his guys.
You're helping rebuild his empire.
I'm helping? The whole reason
he's back on the streets
- is because of you!
- I know!
I am well aware of my part in all this.
Which is why I know that
you haven't slept in months,
you can't concentrate,
and sometimes your heart races so fast,
you think you're having a heart attack.
A life lived in the service of justice.
I always wanted that to be my legacy.
It still can be.
Help me put Elijah where he belongs.
He goes after anyone who crosses him.
I'm sure you could cut a deal
for witness protection.
And I'm sure I have no idea
what you're talking about.
Please leave.
You know how to reach me
if you change your mind.
- Hey.
- Any updates on Cosmo's mom?
Uh, no.
We had units parked outside all night.
There was no movement, but.
You know, they have his phones tapped,
so if the kidnappers call, we'll know.
Do you think she's still alive?
Listen.
If it's about money,
they have every incentive
to keep her alive
until they get what they want.
- Cosmo?
- Dad says I'm not going to school,
and he won't come out of his office.
Can you come over?
I'll be right there.
Hey.
I don't think that's a good idea.
I have to.
Tamara?
Um, I'll be parked outside, okay?
- You got here early.
- I did.
I had a thought this morning.
Our shooter is specifically
targeting firefighters.
You don't just get up one morning
and decide to start shooting at LAFD.
This is what it escalated to.
Okay, so you thought
it may have started somewhere.
Exactly.
So I started looking into
any case that involves
the fire department
complaints, lawsuits, patrol calls
- Anything and everything.
- I can help.
No need.
I got him.
His name is Anthony Pickett.
He's a firefighter
Ex-firefighter, to be specific.
Got cut and didn't take it well?
Yeah, he made it through the academy
but washed out during probation.
Other firefighters found him
to be difficult and aggressive.
He actually picked a fight with
an old-timer who later found
the hose had been cut
on his breathing apparatus.
Mm.
Short fuse.
Few days after that, he showed
up at the station that cut him
looking to get his job back.
Unit was called out, but,
he seemed to accept his fate.
But apparently, he couldn't let it go.
Okay, how do we know it's him?
Cross-referenced his registered vehicle
with our description and partial plate.
It's a match, I already put out a BOLO.
I'll send units to sit on the house.
Maybe we'll get lucky.
Good work.
Thank you.
I know I volunteered us for
the most boring detail ever.
Of course.
You're worried about Tamara, I get it.
- Yeah.
- Plus, it gives me time to apartment-hunt.
Mm.
It's hard to find a place with a pool.
Yeah, I mean, you might need to be
a little flexible with that one.
Well, I used your "rent should be 30%"
- "of your salary" rule
- Oh.
And there's, like,
nothing in my price range.
Well
Hold on. That place is cute.
- Yeah.
- This place is trash.
Uh, that place looks like my apartment.
I'm gonna go check on your dad.
No.
You listen to me.
If you do anything to hurt her,
I swear
That's not possible.
You're not giving me enough time.
I need more time.
I can't!
No.
She's got nothing to do with this.
And how do I know that?
Please, let me talk to her.
Put her on.
- Hey.
- I think Deon's on the phone
- with the kidnappers now.
- I don't have your money!
- I can hear him shouting.
- What's he saying?
I can't make it out.
He's emotional.
I'm sorry.
Please put her on.
- It has to be them.
- Please.
Tamara, the detectives are listening
to all of his known phones, okay?
He's under surveillance,
just let the
investigators do their job.
All you got to do is
make sure that kid is safe.
- That's it.
- His known phones.
What if he's on a burner?
Tamara
No.
She's got nothing to do with this!
How do I know that?
Huh?
Please, let me talk to her.
Put her on.
He's saying,
"Let me talk to her. Put her on."
"I don't have your money.
I spent it."
- think you'd miss it.
- "I didn't think you'd miss it."
- I'm sorry.
- "I'm sorry."
- Please, don't hurt her.
- "Please, don't hurt her."
Uh, Tamara,
don't let him know
that you heard him, okay?
Just get as far away as you can.
- We're heading in right now.
- That bastard.
This happened because of him.
He hung up.
I got to go.
What are you doing?
- Listening in?
- Yeah.
I heard everything.
You did this for money?
- You don't understand.
- You're right.
I don't understand.
Police are on their way.
- Let them help you.
- No. These guys will kill her!
Police!
Mr. Laetner, you need to come with us.
Time to come clean.
Which one of your
clients did you steal from?
Are you sure Cosmo's okay?
Tamara is with him.
He's fine.
You need to focus.
We know you were skimming money,
and we know someone took
your wife in retaliation.
Who was it?
Reed Butler.
That wasn't very smart.
He's killed for a lot less.
I know.
But
I figured he's a criminal.
I'm stealing back the money he stole.
It's justice, kind of.
How noble of you.
Look, I know I'm not innocent
in all this,
but my wife is.
Please help.
I need you to call
the people who have your wife
and tell them you've got the money.
Set up a place for the exchange.
He knows I don't have the money.
He'll know I'm lying.
Tell them a family member came through,
wired it to you this morning.
Okay.
A-And then?
Then you're gonna
write down a confession
detailing how you embezzled
money from a client.
I'm going to jail, aren't I?
Probably.
I'm such an idiot.
No argument
from this side of the table.
Rivas texted early this morning.
- Is it a full admission of guilt?
- "Can we talk?"
He's been careful
not to admit anything,
but I can tell he wants to.
Judge Rivas?
He's cold.
It looks like there's
no injury, no blood.
It looks like maybe a heart attack.
Elijah did this.
We don't know that for sure.
- At his age
- But Monica saw me last night.
She knew I could get through to him.
Elijah had him killed, to protect her.
Alright, everyone switch to channel 9.
Listen up. We have
a confirmed hostage situation
at that compound across the street.
Hostage is Sonia Laetner.
White female, dark hair.
Last seen with an orange sweater
and black pants.
We've identified five suspects onsite,
but there could be more.
We don't know which building
our hostage is being held in,
so we need to clear everything.
Detective Lopez will be our spotter.
She'll provide overwatch.
Why not let Metro provide overwatch?
Because we need all
our boots on the ground.
And there's no one I'd rather
have on my six than La Adelita.
Oh.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I-I-I had no idea.
You're a legend at the range.
No worries.
Go get her back.
You heard her.
Let's move.
No mistakes.
In position.
Are we clear?
Main concourse is clear.
Green and go.
Cover me.
Police!
Drop the weapon!
Step away from the weapon.
Put your hands up.
Hand up.
Turn around.
Put your hands on your head.
Hands behind your back.
B Team, two in custody.
Adam Team, I need trailers
for one in custody. Ramp room.
Moving forward on our sweep.
Freeze!
Police!
Down on the ground!
Don't move! Don't move!
The ground! Now!
C Team, two in custody.
Shut up already!
I said shut up!
Kill the power when I give the signal.
It is what it is.
Crying about it ain't gonna do no good.
Come on.
Just take one step.
Something's wrong.
Time's up.
It's okay.
Adam Team, one in custody.
Hostage is safe.
We are Code 4.
It's okay.
It's okay.
You're safe now.
7-Adam-15, eyes on suspect.
Police!
Don't.
You move an inch towards that trunk,
I'll be forced to shoot you.
Hands in the air.
Now!
Okay.
Step back towards my voice.
Again.
Again.
On your knees.
Suspect in custody.
We're Code 4.
Better bring in the bomb squad.
Someone brought a grenade to the party.
- You're welcome!
- For what?
Well, I created an Excel
spreadsheet for your expenses.
I used something similar
when I first started on the job.
It is super helpful.
- And I-I can send you the app, as well.
- Mm-hmm.
And trust me.
You're gonna feel so gratified
when you hit your target
at the end of the month,
and you'll see that those, um,
those juices
aren't on the daily budget.
- Sorry.
- Mm.
Appreciate that, but
I talked to my mom last night,
and she's
backing down on the
whole action-figure thing,
- so it's all good.
- Oh. So,
you're taking her money again.
Yeah, I-I just can't live in poverty.
Uh
It's not poverty.
Aaron!
Hey, Bradford.
- Good job out there today.
- Thanks.
They're a good bunch
once you get to know them.
- Yeah.
- I'll take your word for it.
Nothing against Patrol, but
Metro is a different beast.
We get called in situations that
are already at a boiling point.
That kind of stress,
creates a special bond.
And I'm on the outside of that.
And every single one of them
was, too, at some point.
Give it a little time.
Okay.
You want to grab a beer with us?
Do I have a choice?
It's tradition.
New guy buys a round.
Come on.
Yes, I'm happy
to send over my references.
And I can start whenever you need me.
Thanks.
Hey.
You looking for another job?
Uh, Cosmo's parents are
definitely getting a divorce.
Sonia wants to keep me on,
but she's not sure
if she can afford it,
with all the legal fees, so
You're not still worried about
having to move out, are you?
I just don't want to be a burden.
You're not.
Tamara, look.
I get it. Your whole life,
you've been displaced
from one home to another,
but that's over now.
Girl, we're family.
You couldn't get rid of me
if you tried.
Thanks.
But, I will get my own place eventually.
- Mm-hmm.
- I don't plan to be the weirdo roommate
when you and Tim start having babies.
That's a long way off.
But I don't know.
Maybe it could work out.
I heard you're
a really good babysitter.
You can't afford my rate.
It's like that?
- It is.
- Okay.
And you're really gonna
leave all your artwork behind?
Wesley. Keep bothering
me and my associates,
I'll happily alert the press.
Judge Rivas is dead.
Yes, I heard.
What happened?
Heart attack.
But we both know that's a lie.
Elijah had him killed for you.
That's ridiculous.
He believed in you
when you were starting out.
And for good reason.
I am an excellent lawyer
and profoundly litigious,
so watch the accusations.
I did warn you.
This is the price of
working for Elijah.
Well, if you're done mansplaining,
I've got some actual work to do.
I guess Elijah finally
found his perfect lawyer,
one with as little morality as him.
What I can't decide is if
the woman that I fell in
love with in law school,
who was kind and loving,
is just gone,
or, if she never really existed.
Were you always just a sociopath
putting on an act?
He'll kill you, too, you know.
Eventually.
Another text.
You are a hero to
firefighters everywhere.
So they admit
that police officers
aren't entirely useless.
Today.
Tomorrow, the rivalry resumes.
I'll take it.
Is that your mom again?
Foxburg Memorial Hospital.
Hello?
Yes, this is he.
I don't understand.
Oh.
Alright, thank you.
What?
My mom died.
