The Rookie (2018) s07e08 Episode Script
Wildfire
1
Previously, on "The Rookie"
Seth told me that his
high-school girlfriend
died of an OD, but then
he told Miles that she died
in a car accident there's
something off with him.
Uh, Nolan. This is my sister, Genny.
What can you tell me about
that guy crossing the street?
His colors and the tattoos
suggest that he is affiliated.
I'd say he's a part of
the Sixth Street Devils.
I messed up with Lucy, I think.
- So you want to talk now, or
- Do we need to talk?
We can go back to normal.
It seems clear that we have
a second serial killer at large.
I think Glasser is my guy.
Now you are in the spotlight,
and you will stay there,
until I find a way to
hang these murders
around your neck,
and lock you away forever.
[BIRD SCREECHING]
Do you ladies have any
advice for a newly minted P2?
Oh, I have so much advice
about so many things.
You're going to have to
be a little bit more specific.
Here's the thing, every
year on the job is different.
Every case is different.
You never really stop being a rookie.
I like that.
Oh, god, it's 8:00 a.m.,
and it's already scorching.
He couldn't have picked
a trail with more shade?
Glasser lives at
the bottom of the hill.
He hikes this trail twice a week.
How does a serial
killer find more time
to work out than I do?
He has a lot of time on his hands.
With the LAPD watching his every move,
he hasn't been able to
indulge in his favorite hobby.
Wait, are we sure about that?
I thought Grey cut
his surveillance in half.
I have been picking up the slack.
OK, on top of all your other
cases and being a mom?
You must be exhausted.
It's not so bad, and
it's not going be forever.
Glasser will slip up,
and when he does,
I will be the one to
put the cuffs on him.
Does anybody else smell smoke?
Yeah, there must be a
fire up north somewhere.

I have no idea when I'll be home.
No, that's okay.
Court's going remote today.
They don't want
anybody getting stranded.
Okay, bye.
Mwah.
BOTH: Love you.
Bye.
So, uh,
it's just you and three

Just for an hour.
Sidney gets in around 9:00.

Hey, Sidney, yeah, I was
just thinking about you.

No, no, no, no, no, I get it.
The roads are a mess.
There's no point endangering yourself.
Just, um, stay home.
I got this. [CHUCKLES]
[CRYING CONTINUES]
Is it a mess?
Yeah.
According to LAFD, fire
is zero percent contained,
moving at wind speed
south toward structures.
Natural causes or deliberate 4-51?
Unknown at this time.
Harper thinks Glasser set it.
- Lucy says it's too soon.
- All right.
I'll order mandatory holdover
and authorize paid overtime.
Coordinate with North
Hollywood for staging areas,
evacuation routes, and make
sure that the fire broadcast
updates on the mutual aid channel.
Copy.
Where do you want us?
Tim won't have time to train today.
- Take Officer Penn.
- Happy to.
Check in with Harper.
She's coordinating the
Western District evacuation.
Yes, sir.
Should I join Officer
Chen in the field?
No, I need extra pair of hands here.
Yeah, I'm happy to help.
Don't get too excited.
Your job's to be yelled at all day.
Right.
We need to be in constant contact
with city, state, and
federal agencies.
This one is for FEMA.
This is National Weather Service,
and this is LAFD.
Now, each phone has several lines.
It's important to keep them straight.
Okay, got it.
Why aren't you writing
any of this down?
Oh, I'll remember.
Son, today is going to
hit you like a freight train.
In an hour, you won't
remember your middle name.
Every time I look at you,
I want to see paper
and a pen at all times.
Yes, sir.

Right, it's the

Thank you.
This entire neighborhood,
all the way down to Sunset,
is under mandatory evacuation,
- so I need you doing door to door.
- Copy that.
Ooh, these are a lot more comfortable
than our regular uniforms.
Yeah, why can't we
wear this every day?
Because we look like mall security.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind that.
Oh, um, Grey wanted
your help at the shelter
- and reunification center.
- Okay, you got it.
- See you guys.
- Bye.
Later.
All right, start with the north side
and make note of everyone you talk to.
What if they don't want to go?
Then you ask them
for their dentist's office,
because we will need a
way to identify their remains.
Will do.
All right.

duty taking over?
Grey can't spare the manpower.

You need to pack up and
head to the Hollenbeck shelter.
Are you here to help us or watch us?
Oh, I don't think the,
uh, LAPD is gonna have
time to harass us today, honey.
They're going to

They just don't know it.
Genny, everything okay?
No.
I just got a call from
the boys' school.
They're closing early
because of the air quality
a thing that never happened
when I lived in Ohio.
The problem is I just left
work on the West Side,
and with all the road
closures, it's going to take me
It won't even give me an estimate.
I think the map is laughing at me.

for protective sweep
during an evacuation,

Perfect.

No, he is not, he switched
cars and disappeared.
You are harassing an innocent man.

That doesn't make sense.
Why would he ask Theo to lie?
It makes perfect sense
If your husband knew that one day
he'd be on the run from the police

No. The human

No, he is not, he switched

No.

Ma'am, according to your son,
your husband has a secret
vehicle a brown van.

He's lying, traffic

I'm sorry.
Dad told me one day the
police might be after him,
and if they were,
I should talk about a brown
van and say it was a big secret.
He's using your son to lie for him.
You okay with that?
That doesn't make sense.
Why would he ask Theo to lie?
It makes perfect sense
If your husband knew that one day
he'd be on the run from the police
and his son would be questioned.
Your husband's a methodical planner.
He spent years
grooming a mental patient
to take responsibility for his crimes.
