Escape Plan

Previously on "The Rookie"
- Bailey.
- Jason.
- Who are you?
- I'm John Nolan, her boyfriend.
- And you are?
- Her husband.
Jason is behind
bars for eight years.
Gundo's expecting me.
A hit man came after me.
I need to know who sent him.
Batista needs child care.
- And his former nanny
- Our current nanny.
Is willing to sing your praises.
I'm here to see Christian Batista.
I have an appointment.
If you're here for
the hot prison goss,
it's going to cost you.
Eric Ramsey is the man after me.
- You need to take him out.
- That's where you come in.
Kelso. He's a dangerous man.
He was also Ramsey's right hand.
I want you to help
me break out of prison.
Deal.
- Who was the investigating officer?
- Pearson.
If he gives me up,
the recordings from your
sessions go straight to IA.
It's a simple question.
Did they flip
the shrink or not?
You're my lawyer.
You're supposed to know
these things.
Morning.
No. No.
That's not right.
- You tell them

- Good morning.
- Hi.
I was waiting for you to wake up
but then I'm going to have to
go pretty soon, so I had to
- What's wrong?
- Nothing.
I have just been doing
a lot of thinking.
And, I know what you said about
not being willing to go through
with the whole IVF routine,
and I completely
support you on that,
but I have been watching you
these past few days.
And you've been putting
on a very brave face,
but you are sad.
And I am tasked with your happiness
With our happiness.
And I think that there is a path
that is still open to us
that will bring a child into our home
and bring us that happiness.
And
I think we should adopt.
- "Adopt"?
- Yes.
There are so many kids
out there who need a good home
and a loving family.
And, Bailey, that's us.
So what do you think?
I-I think it's
a beautiful idea.
- Also a lot to think about.
- Of course.
And, I've done a little bit
of light research.
There's an email waiting
for you in your inbox.
Peruse it as you will
through your morning coffee
and, your breakfast,
and probably lunch.
I said "light research."
That was the wrong adjective.
It was really, honestly,
pretty extensive.
[CHUCKLES]
I got it.
Any chance you're going to be
home tonight so we can discuss?
Uh, that much I don't know.
Things are pretty crazy
at the station right now.
I mean, we still
don't know how many cops
Blair London has compromised
or who's controlling her.
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
Sorry.
It's Grey.
Yes, sir.
What's going on?
We're operating
under the radar for now.
There's still too many unknowns,
including how deep
the conspiracy runs.
So we are setting up
a secret war room
at the station
using only officers
that we know we can trust.
You up to speed on Pearson?
- No. What happened?
- He's gone.
Wife said he took
the garbage to the curb,
- never came back.
- Do we think he's running?
I think he's dead,
or on his way there.
Okay.
Well, how can the FBI help out?
Simple We don't know who we
can trust in our own house,
which means we need
your resources
to keep our investigation
under the radar.
Of course.
What's your path to clarity
as to who's been compromised?
That would be Blair London.
She's the department shrink
who's been turning cops
and selling police intel
to an unknown number
of criminal organizations.
And where is this
Blair London now?
I'm here to tell you
that this deal is the best shot
your client has for a future,
and that future will definitely
involve prison time
- At least three to five years.
- No.
No, I can't go to prison.
- I need total immunity.
- That's not going to happen.
You were directly responsible
for a deadly attack
on police officers.
You would have to give us
the equivalent
of Hannibal Lecter or
Pablo Escobar to skate on that.
So take the morning,
but I'm going to need a "yes"
or "no" on this deal
by nightfall.
Wesley isn't lying.
Three to five is a solid deal
given your criminal liability.
This is a nightmare.
Unfortunately, it's very real.
And you need to accept the fact
that judgment day is here.

[LINE TRILLING]
The shrink is flipping.
She just met with an ADA at his house,
and she's got a surveillance
team watching her.
Making a play will be risky.
Understood.
We need to take
the shrink off the field.
I know,
but the payday is immense.
I know we can't spend it
if we're dead or in prison,
but we're smart, we're quick,
and we're destined
for a long life of badassery,
so cowboy up.
Let's go get her.
[ENGINE TURNING OVER]
You could at least pretend to help me.
I'm here in more
of an oversight capacity.
[SCOFFS]
Yeah.
Smitty,
get your ass into gear.
- Yes, ma'am.
- How's it going?
I really wish there were
more cops on the no column.
But, after comparing
the list of Blair's patients
to the list of potentially compromised
police investigations
that Nell provided,
the maybe column's
starting to fill up.
God, you weren't kidding
when you said out of the way.
I think this is where they
store all the old asbestos.
- What?
- It's fine.
Just breathe shallow.
We needed a place where
no one would just wander by.
And you trusted Smitty
to keep all this a secret?
We had a conversation about
the consequences of loose lips.
She threatened to hurt
me in graphic detail.
Used the term "gut dump."
Relax.
I won't say nothing about nothing.
Guys, I know
who Blair's working for,
and you're not going to believe it.
- Tell me.
- I did a deep dive.
I mean, we're talking
kindergarten-yearbook deep.
But, the answers lay
during her time in grad school,
where Blair London moderated
a student-led panel on insanity
as a legal defense.
We are extremely lucky to
have an expert on the nexus
between mental
health and criminal law,
Monica Stevens.
- Son of a puta.
- That makes total sense.
Monica represents half
the criminals in the city.
Selling Blair's intel
on police operations
would make Monica a fortune.
What other evidence
do you have?
This isn't enough?
To prove criminal conspiracy?
Not a chance.
To a judge, all that means
is they met three years ago.
We need definitive proof
that the relationship continues
- and involves criminal activity.
- Normally, I agree.
But, add it to our other
investigations into Monica,
and I say we have enough
to at least get a wiretap order.
Maybe.
Start writing it up.
I'll go to Grey and see if he'll
authorize a surveillance unit.
You should notify Chen,
let her know that her undercover
operation is a top priority.
Right.
Smitty, get in plain clothes.
I'm adding you
to Lucy's support team.
Score.

Good morning.
Monica Stevens
to see Eric Ramsey.
I don't have an appointment,
but I do have a sensitive
matter to discuss,
and I'm betting
he'll want to see me.
Hello, Mr. Ramsey.
Sorry to bother you, sir.
You can wait out here.
I should be safe inside.
I'd prefer to at least take
you to his office.
I appreciate that,
but I'll be fine.
After this crisis is behind us,
we should discuss your future.
- I've been impressed.
- Thank you, ma'am.
But I think trying
to protect you long-term
might make my head explode.
- No offense intended.
- None taken.
I like the honesty.
Miss Stevens?
This way.
[SIGHS]
Good morning.
Small talk or no?
- No.
- Good.
I know you tried
to have me killed,
though I'm still in the dark as
to what I did to provoke that.
It's not so much what you did
versus what you could do,
down the road.
You think I've learned
something about your operation
that could compromise
you, but I haven't.
I'd never even heard your name
before yesterday.
It doesn't matter.
Given the rapid growth
of your information network,
it's only a matter of time
before you do,
and that gives you
leverage over me,
not to mention
something to trade
when you eventually
get arrested.
Listen, if you've done
your homework about me,
you know that I am ruthless,
but practical.
And I'm here to tell you that
there is a deal to be made,
after you pay me a significant
apology fee, of course.
[CHUCKLES]
Do you know why I'm going
to say no, Miss Stevens?
No, but I'm excited
for you to tell me.
Because you
You have a resources problem.
You provide counsel and information
to a who's-who of
criminals in this state,
but you don't have a crew.
No one's got your back
unless you pay them,
and I can pay them more,
to put a bullet in it.
So
I'm going to pass.
God, that's so foolish.
Do you know why?
You have an imagination problem.
You're trying to put me in the
same box as your competitors,
be it cartel boss, or drug lord.
But I
Don't fit in that box.
And you don't have the imagination
to predict the things that I can do
or conceive of the forces
I can mobilize to end you
forces that are in play
at this very moment.

Judge wouldn't sign off

meaningful with my life,

Now two of my patients
are dead, and it's my fault.
I should have stood up to her,
but, I was too afraid.
You can still make this right.
Just testify against her.
It's too dangerous.
She has spies everywhere.
No, the FBI is involved now.
That means you'll be
in federal protective custody.

Monica has her claws
into the department,

I need a yes right now.

Very fashionable.
All right, so
Who are we working with in-country?
Local contractors, CIA-adjacent,
strictly tour guides.
- Why not local law?
- Because we have no proof
that Blair was kidnapped.
Charlie saw her get on
the plane on her own volition.
So local law enforcement
- will not intervene?
- That's right.
Officially, I'm there
to "collect intelligence"
"from a confidential local resource."
- Okay, why am I there?
- You're not.
And if we do
find out
that Blair is, in fact, kidnapped,
and being held against her will,
- what do we do then?
- Nothing.
You are here
to observe and report.
We'll bring any evidence
to our liaison at State,
who will then pass it along
to local authorities.
By which time two weeks
will have passed.
By then, she'll be either dead or MIA.
But we would consider
a hostage rescue,
they might consider a kidnapping.

just yesterday, what happened?

Charlie.
Charlie?
Monica's leaving the country.
I just dropped her at a private plane,
and she's not going alone.
There was hired muscle
and a woman that didn't look
too happy to be going.
What did she look like?
Late 20s, Caucasian, petite,
shoulder-length brown hair, pretty.
Blair.
Any chance you get the tail number?
Do you have a pen?
Make yourself comfortable.
Monica is on her way to Argentina.
Oh, that is great,
because I am running on fumes.
I could use the sleep.
Ooh, I love the hair.
- You too.
- What's this?
Desert-wear,
so you're dressed properly.
- It's gonna be dusty.
- Is it cute?
Oh, please.
Girl, I got you.
Very fashionable.
All right, so
Who are we working with in-country?
Local contractors, CIA-adjacent,
strictly tour guides.
- Why not local law?
- Because we have no proof
that Blair was kidnapped.
Charlie saw her get on
the plane on her own volition.
So local law enforcement
- will not intervene?
- That's right.
Officially, I'm there
to "collect intelligence"
"from a confidential local resource."
- Okay, why am I there?
- You're not.
And if we do
find out
that Blair is, in fact, kidnapped,
and being held against her will,
- what do we do then?
- Nothing.
You are here
to observe and report.
We'll bring any evidence
to our liaison at State,
who will then pass it along
to local authorities.
By which time two weeks
will have passed.
By then, she'll be either dead or MIA.
But we would consider
a hostage rescue,
they might consider a kidnapping.
They can fight us
with automatic weapons, John.
We can't legally possess a slingshot,
so we observe and report.
If you don't like it, I suggest
you get off this plane now.
