Punch Card

Previously on "The Rookie"
I think we should have a baby.
How do you feel about having sex
in the back of an ambulance?
I'm guessing she's in some
kind of contest with herself
to see how fast she can conceive.
You violated procedure and
roped in two other officers?
I can't just go back
to the way things were.
Are you breaking up with me?
I'm sorry.
I got stood up.
Who the hell
would stand you up?
- I mean, you are a catch.
- [CHUCKLES]
Did Tim really get
kicked out of Metro?
- Yeah.
- First day back on patrol.
I need you to take
Dr. London on a ride-along.
You asked the department
shrink to, to babysit me?
I-I think you're right.
I am mad at myself.

There's no way I can

Client has to do some time.
She's got a rap sheet

Nobody reads anymore, Wesley.
And her rap sheet is irrelevant.
We'll never get this deal
negotiated with that attitude.
Then we can go to court.

No, no.
Don't, don't check it out.

We didn't get a chance
to talk about me leaving Metro.
Water under the bridge, bro.
See ya, Doc.
Are you
No, I'm actually heading up
to five to drop off some paperwork,
just got on the wrong elevator.
Everything okay with Mad Dog?
Can't discuss a patient.
Technically shouldn't have
told you he's a patient.
How are you doing?
Did seeing a former
squad mate upset you?
Well, last I checked,
we're in an elevator
and not your office, so
Of course.
Sorry.
Still internalizing the
rules of engagement.
I'll see you Thursday.
Yeah.
Looking forward to it.
How's it working out
with your new roommate?
Technically,
she's about to move in.
But wait, why are you asking?
We're thin today.
Got a bunch of sick calls,
and Nolan took a personal day.
So I need you
to ride with Celina.
Oh, uh, but I'm

Is that something

I'm all-powerful.
Oh, okay.
But is it gonna be a problem,
overseeing your roommate?
No, sir.
Officer Juarez and I
are both professionals.
Good answer.
Sorry, I-I can come back.
No, no, no, no.
Officer Chen needs to go
round up her boot.
Boot?
Really?
Give her the all-powerful gag?
Yeah.
Have a good shift.
Yeah, you too.
Wow.
That wasn't awkward at all.
Believe it or not, it's

Well, you need to fix it.
Dysfunction kills team efficiency.
And I'm not going out like that.
So you need to work it out.
Otherwise, I'm gonna

and who transfers
to North Hollywood.
And trust me,
it won't be
Officer Chen who goes.
Understood.
In the meantime,
I've got another fun
assignment for you
Helping your old Metro team.
They're looking for someone
who knows pre-raid surveillance
and dynamic entry SOPs.
Great.
I'd be happy to lead the team.
- You know the target?
- Barrio Rosa.
But, um, you're not
leading anything.
They want you on point to keep

Yes, sir.
Hi.
We're here to see Dr. Bhatia.
You know, when I say
"fertility doctor,"
it sounds so weirdly
18th century, right?
Like he's gonna prescribe
a cocaine and morphine tincture
for my consumption.
Pretty sure you wouldn't
see a fertility doctor
for consumption,
even in the 1800s.
Oh, well, yes,
if we're gonna split hairs.

Oh, hey,
what are you doing here?
Monica got attacked in her home.
She shot the intruder.
- Disgruntled client?
- No idea.
Paramedics are bringing them both in.
Ow!
Could you make the ride any rougher?
I have a head injury.
Wait, are you guys okay?
Yeah, no,

No.
I'm supposed to be in court.

What's her story?
She's almost as
tight-lipped as our guy here.
Said he broke in,
assaulted her.
She got a couple of shots off.
And then we went
down the stairs.
And you managed to shoot him in
both feet before the tumble?
That's what I said.
- Do I need to talk slower?
- No.
It's just that TID told me
that they found
one shell casing upstairs
and the other one
down in the foyer.
You ask her about the shell casings?
- Doing it now.
- Look, it's not my job
to teach you the physics
of shell casing ejections
during a violent struggle.
And if your intention is to try
and take this opportunity
to paint me as the bad guy
in my own assault,
then I'll see you both
in court.
Slow your roll, Red.
We're just doing our job.
Well, go do it somewhere else
so the doctor can examine me
and stitch up my head.
No problem.
We will talk later.

My point of view is that
you have a wealth of knowledge,

- I knew it.
Okay, please tell me
that I am the obstacle.
I mean,
I've already had a child,
but it was a long,
long time ago.
Maybe something's changed.
No, your sperm density is adequate.
But my ovaries aren't.
It's not your ovaries,
which is good.
But there's some damage
to your fallopian tubes,
which is making it difficult
for your eggs
to move from the ovaries
to the uterus.
The good news is, we can
get around that with IVF.
- In vitro?
- Yes.
Now, obviously, at your age,
you're considered
a geriatric pregnancy
a technical term no one loves.
But after 35, there are
increased risk factors.
That said,
I see no reason that, in time,
you can't get pregnant.
Okay.
Okay.
That's great, right?
How much time?
The IVF process takes
six to eight weeks,
but the odds of it working
on the first try
are on the lower side.
And it's expensive.
But we don't care
about the money.
A single IVF cycle normally
costs 15,000 to 20,000.
Whatever it takes.
I think you two should take
a little time to digest this.

to the head and torso.
Garcia was behind him,

Mad Dog got lucky.

the brunt of the blast.
He's a pincushion,

The mission was last-minute.
It was close to the vest.

the warrant was in the loop.
All right.

Uh, sir.

As long as you get
cleared by the doctor.

already downstairs in the morgue,

You were very lucky.
A few more inches to the right,

It was not that close.
Anything near you is too close.
Fair enough.
Did you get to see

No, I heard you were in trouble,
and I ran out of there.

Hey, whoa.
I appreciate your help,
but it's my operation.
It's my team.
Try not to go
picking it apart, right?
No, I'm not.
Just, it's Barrio Rosa.
They come strapped at all times.
- And I don't see certain things
- Are you serious?
These guys feel like
you let them down.
You quit on us
when we welcomed you,
and now you got the nerve
to come back
and give me notes
on my ops plan?
Okay, this isn't

- I'm just trying to be helpful.

Nobody wants to hear from the

Yeah.
Just be careful

Oh, yeah. Sorry.

Say it again.
Get up.
Wait, what are you doing?
Taking him somewhere else

Let's try this again,
without your friends around.
Okay?
- Name.
- I told you.
Bite me.
Can you head back out
to the waiting room
and see if anybody knows
the name of the kid
who's spilling
Eastern Front secrets?
- You wouldn't do that.
- Hm?
She's not gonna do that.
I'll do whatever
she tells me to.
I'm a rookie, and she's my TO.
But we're gonna find out
your name no matter what.
So why are you sweating us?
Fine.
I'm Slak.
Thank you.
Babayan.
All right, and you are
an Eastern Front wannabe.
Nothing wannabe about me.
I'm all in, and they know it.
No doubt.
I think you should want
to help us figure out
who killed your boss.
- Armen's dead?
- Yeah.
He died about an hour ago
on the operating table.
Did you happen to see
who pulled the trigger?
- No.
- No?
The blood splatter on your face
and your clothes
says otherwise.
I'd say you were standing right
next to him when it went down.
Wrong.
Listen, Slak,
if you have a name,
just give it to us, okay?
There's no reason anyone needs
to know that it came from you.
But it just points us
in the right direction
so we can go and make a case.
Forget it.
I mean, even if I did know
who killed him,
that's for us to handle.
Us?
Do you really have that in you
after what you just went through,
watching your friends
get shot and stabbed

You have barely got a foot

Hasn't even asked for a lawyer.
Well, as a lawyer,

I wouldn't call it a problem.
I'd call it an obstacle.
- But obstacles can be overcome.
- I knew it.
Okay, please tell me
that I am the obstacle.
I mean,
I've already had a child,
but it was a long,
long time ago.
Maybe something's changed.
No, your sperm density is adequate.
But my ovaries aren't.
It's not your ovaries,
which is good.
But there's some damage
to your fallopian tubes,
which is making it difficult
for your eggs
to move from the ovaries
to the uterus.
The good news is, we can
get around that with IVF.
- In vitro?
- Yes.
Now, obviously, at your age,
you're considered
a geriatric pregnancy
a technical term no one loves.
But after 35, there are
increased risk factors.
That said,
I see no reason that, in time,
you can't get pregnant.
Okay.
Okay.
That's great, right?
How much time?
The IVF process takes
six to eight weeks,
but the odds of it working
on the first try
are on the lower side.
And it's expensive.
But we don't care
about the money.
A single IVF cycle normally
costs 15,000 to 20,000.
Whatever it takes.
I think you two should take
a little time to digest this.

Nothing critical,
a little banged up.
We were, um
we were pulling out
Mad Dog and Nash
when half the ceiling
came down on us.
How bad are they wounded?
Nash is bad.
Shrapnel wounds
to the head and torso.
Garcia was behind him,
leg got all torn up.
Mad Dog got lucky.
The first two took
the brunt of the blast.
He's a pincushion,
but according to the medic,
it's mostly superficial.
Look, it's clear that
they knew we were coming.
It seems like they knew
what door we would be using.
You think there's a leak?
It's the only thing
that makes sense.

It was close to the vest.

the warrant was in the loop.
