The Rookie (2018) s04e09 Episode Script
Breakdown
1
Previously on "The Rookie"
I would like to formally
give my endorsement for union rep,
John Nolan.
Dad was a monster.
Dad's dying.
I'm really sorry
about today.
I'm still not going to
see him.
La Fiera took Angela.
I need to know where
she's holding her.
No problem. I'll do whatever
it takes to get her back.
You work for me now.
Making a deal with
Elijah was the only way
that I could get you home safe.
- Well, you're not becoming a C.
- I.
I will do everything humanly
possible to keep him safe.
We can't screw this up.
We won't.
Ugh.
7-Adam-15, Code 4.
Suspect is in custody.
- Are you looking at engagement rings?
- Maybe
- What do you think of this one?
- Oh, for Bailey?
Oh, my God.
- Are you going to propose?
- Uh, maybe.
I mean, I'm thinking about it.
I-I know we haven't
been dating very long
No, what matters is how you feel,
and-and
I've never
seen you happier.
Me and my lady got
hitched after three weeks,
and we're still going strong.
- When you know, you know.
- Exactly.
The only thing I don't know,
is what kind of ring she would like.
But that's that's
pretty, right?
No one wears emerald cut
anymore.
There's a reason
I left that behind.
Was Henry excited when you told him?
Henry.
They haven't even met.
I can't think about proposing
until I get his blessing.
Invite them both over for dinner.
He's in Japan through Christmas.
Oh, you know what?
This is good, it'll give you time
to plan the proposal,
and I know of a photographer
- that's not too expensive.
- A photographer
for a proposal?
I could hook you up
with the choreographer
- that designed mine.
- Choreographer?
Okay, um,
see I was just thinking about
going to a nice restaurant,
and, you know
Asking.
Yeah.
Let's workshop it,
back at the station.
Come on.
Oh, I see
what you're doing there.
You asked me,
to help decorate your tree.
Yes, that was to trick you
into staying for a few more days.
No trickery required.
Mm.
You know, in spite of myself,
I have really enjoyed this whole
being taken care of
thing the last few weeks.
And now that my leg
is feeling better,
I want to start making it up to you.
Well, while I like the sound of that,
it's really
Really not necessary.
I mean, that's one of
the many built-in perks
of being in a healthy relationship.
Which, by the way,
do you still feel you're
terrible at intimacy?
I may have graduated to mediocre.
Oh, I'd say you're at least
intermediate, if not proficient.
- Oh.
- By the way,
Henry's supposed to call this morning.
I was hoping the two of you could talk
and finally get a chance
to know one another.
I would love that,
but it's my first day
back from medical,
and I can't be late.
Speaking of
Is he free tonight?
Uh, well, he might be in meetings.
Tonight is tomorrow,
for him, I think?
I don't know.
I keep forgetting
how the time change works.
Okay, another day then.
I'm so sorry, I have to go,
- and tell Henry I said hi, okay?
- Okay.
- Bye.
- See ya.
Oh, um, there's, uh
Hey.
Hey, Dad.
Sorry I'm late.
- Dinner ran a little long.
- Uhm
No, no problem.
How's Japan?
Well, Nolan says
an open concept sells better,
so I'm thinking we,
take out this wall,
and then move on to the kitchen.
Do you remember how
Mom used to make us
pose by the window,
for every formal dance?
Oh, my gosh.
My mom did that, too.
And I always had to
have a wrist corsage.
Yes,
why was that ever a thing?
No
No more reminiscing,
this is about fixing up the house,
and selling it, that's it.
What? Wait, wait, wait.
Hold on.
I mean, you guys are ending
a huge chapter in your lives.
You guys need closure.
What?
I said you need closure!
What?
You're an idiot.
Did you vote yet?
The polls just opened
20 minutes ago.
- We have all week.
- I know.
Vote for change.
I just know that,
low voter turnout is an
epidemic in this country,
and I don't want to
lose to apathy.
Can I ask you something?
Do you think marriage proposals
have to be a big spectacle nowadays?
No.
No,
all those viral flash mobs are tacky.
It should be an intimate moment,
not some desperate grab for likes.
Okay, that's what I thought, but,
Lucy seems to think I need
to plan something extravagant.
Is Lucy the one
- you're proposing to?
- No.
- Am I the one you're proposing to?
- No.
So why are you
talking to either of us,
- about this?
- Right.
The only person's opinion
who matters is Bailey's.
Yeah, I-I'm not even sure
myself yet, I'm just
Testing the waters. Mm-hmm.
Well, whenever you do,
make sure that you let her help you
pick out a ring.
Donovan got me this massive
diamond that cost a fortune,
and was not my style,
- at all.
- Really?
One of the best things,
about the divorce,
was finally getting
to sell that thing.
Huh.
Tamara, hey.
Oh.
Hey, John.
Do you know where
Sergeant Grey's office is?
I sure do.
The big glass one right there.
- Oh. Thank you.
- See ya.
Hey.
Ready for our interview?
I am so sorry, I
Something came up.
Is there any way we can
reschedule to next week?
Uh, my criminal sociology
paper's due on Friday.
But it's fine, I'm sure
whatever you're doing
is way more important.
Remind me what this paper's
about again.
Um, how aging affects
perspectives
of cops throughout their career.
And Lucy told me you'd be
the perfect candidate
because you're an old
I'm sorry, uhh
I mean veteran officer.
Right.
Follow me.
Smitty.
This is Tamara.
She'll be shadowing you.
You mean like a ride-along?
No, not
You are not to step foot outside
this station with her.
Just show her around,
answer her questions.
Sure thing, boss.
There's nothing I don't know
about policing.
Ask me anything.
You spelled
"magnet" wrong.
So, our target is Elijah Stone.
He's smart
and ruthless.
Multiple agencies have tried
to get listening devices
in his base of operation.
Every attempt has failed.
But other agencies didn't have
our ace in the hole
Wesley Evers.
As Elijah's lawyer,
Wesley is ideally situated
to place a listening device
in Elijah's main office.
Please familiarize yourself
with the briefing materials
and be ready to roll out in an hour.
That's it.
You don't have to do this,
you know.
Yes, I do.
This is the bug you'll be planting.
Did you read the list of
suggested locations
I put together?
I did, but I doubt I'm gonna have time
to unscrew an electrical socket.
With limited time, I would focus on
someplace high, or someplace low.
The most important thing
is doing it safely.
Agreed, if you do not have
the opportunity today, that's fine.
We can try again when
you meet with him next time.
Wesley, Metro wants to go over
a few things.
I know cops aren't
supposed to make promises,
but promise me,
you'll keep him safe.
We promise.
So, you've been on the force for
30 years.
What's been the biggest
challenge as you've gotten older?
The change in technology?
Procedure?
Yes.
Hey, you ever heard of ClipTalk?
I'm trying to upload a meme.
You can't be serious.
This is how you want to
beat your opponent?
Hell yeah.
Help me go viral,
and I'll buy you a candy bar.
- Surveillance is in position.
- Copy.
Rescue Vehicle One in position.
Wesley should arrive for
his meeting with Elijah in about
10 minutes.
Oh, my skip tracer
just sent his report.
- Your skip tracer?
- Well, yeah.
I can't use
police resources
to run personal background checks, so,
I got a guy
on retainer.
You should have one, too.
What do you got him
looking for?
Leverage.
I'm trying to find anything I can use
to keep Donovan from getting custody
and moving Lila to San Francisco.
And?
- Did he find anything?
- Uh, no.
Quote, "Your ex is so boring,"
"I am charging you double."
You guys are so lucky.
I begged my mom and
dad to have a sibling.
They got me a turtle.
Um, it was cute, but a little smelly.
Cute and smelly pretty much sums up
Tim's teenage years.
You didn't miss much.
Wow.
And to think
I was actually excited
when they brought you
home from the hospital.
Little did I know.
What is it?
There's, there's something in the wall.
Ooh, is it my Malibu Barbie?
She's worth a lot now.
No, it's, it's metal.
What the hell is a gun
doing in our wall?
How long has that
been back there?
It's hard to say.
Look
The serial number's been filed off.
That's what criminals do,
right?
We need to run ballistics.
Wait, you don't actually think
it was used in a crime?
Well, it's our job
to find out.
We'll be back as soon as we can.
But it's your day off.
You said you'd help.
It won't take long.
C'mon, Chen.
I knew you'd find
some excuse to leave.
Genny,
this is serious.
It's fine.
Go.
Uh
Hey, she's got a point.
I mean, you could've called
someone to handle this.
- You still can.
- No.
A good sergeant doesn't
create work for his officers.
Even on his day off.
And it's not at all
about the emotions
this house is stirring up?
It's just a house.
- Holy crap.
- What?
My skip tracer looked into
Penelope,
Donovan's fiancée.
She used to be an escort.
Whoa.
Yeah, she's,
she's been lying to him this whole time.
Well, you don't know that.
She may have already told Donovan.
Or, heck, that could be
how they met.
Oh no, no.
Donovan is such a prude.
If he found out, he would lose it.
And if the court found out
- You'd win your case.
- It just doesn't feel right,
bringing her into our fight.
And the fact that
she was a sex worker
has no bearing on her
as a stepmom.
Neither does you doing undercover,
but he's using that against you.
Sure, but using her past against her
makes me just as bad as Donovan.
I can't, I-I
I got to figure out something
else to change his mind.
- Okay, any ideas how?
- No.
Heads up.
Wesley's going in.
Elijah's expecting me.
Cellphone.
Come in.
Sit down.
So
How are we getting Reyes
out of trouble?
I can get the witness testimony
thrown out, but the,
uh, surveillance video
is a whole other problem.
Looking for something?
You guys paint since I was last here?
No.
Room looks different.
Must be the Christmas decorations.
As I was saying,
the video is a problem,
but your bigger issue is,
your guys don't know how to
- get arrested.
- He's doing great.
They can't keep
assaulting police officers.
Yeah.
He'll be fine.
Resisting arrest is making
my life harder.
You hear that, Moreno?
Our friend thinks I'm making
life too hard for him.
- No, it's just
- It's what, Counselor?
What part of our arrangement
is about making your life easier?
Hmm.
Nothing.
Piece of unsolicited advice
fire Reyes as soon as possible.
So?
He punched the arresting officer.
Reyes is good people.
Reyes is a moron.
He bragged about the assault
to an inmate in lockup,
ended up being an informant.
Where is he?
Making a run to the food bank.
Alright, when he's done,
get him in here.
Someone needs a refresher course
on keeping his damn mouth shut.
Now
I'm hearing whispers,
about a threat on the horizon,
but I can't get traction on it.
That's news to me.
Well, what about your wife?
Has she heard anything?
Uh,
I don't know,
You guys are
lucky to have me.
That's the signal.
Point to all units.
Friendly has given the signal.
Go ahead and initiate "Blind Eye."
I can't make any promises,
but
What's going on?
We may have a problem.
Get your hands up!
- Get your hands up!
- Hands up!
- Don't move!
- Hands behind your head.
Get down on your knees.
Well, that's not ours.
No.
Never seen him before.
- Everything okay, guys?
- Yeah, it's nothing.
Just, uh
That's the second signal.
He's planted the bug.
Music has been deployed.
Stop units can clear.
He did it.
Now get out of there.
Well, that's it.
That's all I got for you.
He's walking out now.
Okay, good work,
Counselor.
Keep me updated on Reyes.
Will do, but seriously,
fire him,
or teach him to keep his mouth shut.
Boaz.
Come walk out the lawyer.
He's ready to go.
Go again.
Boaz, do you copy?
Come get the lawyer.
That's static.
The bug Wesley planted
could create interference
with a two-way radio.
We didn't know they use
walkie-talkies in there?
- Harper, come in.
- Already on it.
All units, stand by.
Be ready to breach on my go.
I can't hear you.
Come again?
Can I just walk myself out?
I mean, seriously,
I have a
meeting across town in 30 minutes.
Oh, no, no.
Slow up, Counselor.
It can wait.
This is very interesting.
You know, from what I recall,
when the sirens went off,
you didn't even jump.
Didn't even bother to look.
It's almost like you knew
they were coming.
What the hell are you talking about?
Mm.
We may need a new exterminator.
We have to go now.
No. Elijah's too smart
to hurt Wesley
while we're listening.
All units hold.
What is that?
No, no, no, no.
Don't even play.
Testing, testing.
Can you hear me?
Whoever you are.
Is it the FBI?
The DEA?
Oh, wait, no.
Of course.
What am I thinking?
It's the LAPD.
I bet your lovely wife
is out there listening,
too, isn't she?
Angie.
You out there, sweetheart?
You're smart.
You know I don't say anything
incriminating
in front of your husband,
so you turned him into
a Trojan Horse to leave a bug behind.
And your little game almost worked,
too.
Speaking of games,
you know what my favorite is?
"I Spy."
I spy, with my little eye,
a pest control van.
No. No.
No, you wouldn't be in there.
That's too "Miami Vice."
Oh.
There's a mail truck.
No, no, no.
That has to stay on the move,
lest someone get suspicious.
Oh. The minivan.
Roomy enough for equipment,
yet nondescript.
So, tell me, Angie,
did I win the game?
Of course I did.
I always win.
You know why?
Because I play by the rules.
Which means I'm gonna
report your husband
to the California State Bar.
That's right.
I'm gonna have his law license revoked
for betraying the trust of a client.
This is not over.
For you, it is.
Wesley, come on, man.
He's all yours.
I just fired him.
- Listen to me closely.
- Uh-huh.
You lay a hand on him or his family,
it'll be the last thing you do
as a free man.
I don't need to touch him.
He just screwed himself.
Let's go.
Walk away.
Until we meet again, Counselor.
Hey, ballistics came back on
the gun we found in the wall.
- That was fast.
- Yeah, I mean,
I had to buy a case
of Girl Scout cookies
from Derek's kid.
You're welcome.
Okay, so,
the striations from the
gun match up with a bullet
from a homicide from 25 years ago.
The murder victim's name
was Frank Ochoa.
He lived down the street.
I was 14 when he was murdered.
According to the case file,
Frank's murder was
the result of a suspected
botched home invasion.
Well, I think we can rule that out
now that we found the gun in our wall.
Do you remember anything
from that night?
Yeah,
I had a football game.
Uh, my mom took me and Genny, and,
when we got back,
there were cops everywhere.
My dad hated that guy.
Your dad had an alibi.
Um, Frank's wife, Monica.
She was at the house.
He was helping her with her taxes.
Monica is not a solid alibi.
They were having an affair.
My mom didn't know
- But I did.
- Uh, if
If Frank discovered the affair
My dad would have
had motive to kill him.
That's how the gun
ended up in the wall.
Okay, but why hide it in there?
I mean, why not just dump it
in a storm drain,
- or an ocean?
- I don't know.
You did good today.
Not good enough.
The radio interference
wasn't your fault.
Doesn't make me
any less scared.
- What's next?
- We regroup,
and hit this
in the morning.
You two go home, cuddle Jack.
Install the VARDA system.
And get to know
your security detail.
VARDA?
Don't worry, it's only
the most intrusive
and creepy security
system ever invented.
Thank you for everything.
I wish I could do more.
Hey.
Why are you letting Smitty
walk all over you?
I'm not letting Smitty
Yes, you are.
I've been here watching Smitty talk
smack about you to the other officers.
I-It's obscene.
Please tell me you're
planning on hitting back.
Okay, I agree
it's not great,
but Smitty has chosen his path,
and I'm not gonna get
anywhere if I resort to
the same tricks he does.
But you're still not
gonna get anywhere
if you let this happen, either.
You could lose.
I think negativity
turns off voters.
I'm gonna run a clean campaign,
and apologies,
I do have a call
scheduled with my son.
Can we pick this up later?
- Sure.
- Thank you.
Don't tell me you have
more interview questions?
Just one.
You want to go viral?
I'll help you
make the video.
What's your ClipTalk password?
Hey, where you going?
Monica Ochoa's in Interrogation.
I'm gonna get to
the bottom of this.
Whoa, whoa.
Wait, wait, wait.
You're going to question
your father's mistress?
She's his alibi.
If anyone knows whether or
not
my dad killed her husband,
- it's her.
- Yes,
but you can't be
the one to question her.
Look, we need to do this right.
You do it.
Thank you for coming in,
Mrs. Ochoa.
Of course.
So, what is this all about?
Your husband's murder.
We recently had a break
in the case,
and we just wanted to go over
a few details with you.
What do you mean,
a break in the case?
It's been 25 years.
I'm afraid I'm not at liberty
to discuss the details at this time.
What do you remember.
about that night?
I have been over this
so many times.
Don't you have the report?
It's all in there.
I'm sorry.
I realize this is a painful subject.
I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.
I was across the street
at the neighbors'.
The Bradfords.
Right.
Tom was helping me with our taxes.
Um,
I had made a mess with them,
and he was a CPA.
When I got back home,
the door was open,
and, um
The place was a mess.
I-I'm sorry, um
It's been a very long time
since I've had to talk about this.
Uh, just
Take your time.
I found, uh,
my husband, Frank.
He was
His body was in the kitchen.
Um
There was blood everywhere.
I guess he surprised
whoever broke in,
and, um, they shot him.
You were close,
with the Bradford family?
We socialized,
like neighbors used to.
So, the night of the murder,
you were at their house,
working on your taxes,
and, uh,
the rest of the Bradford family
was there?
Uh, no,
Mrs. Bradford and the kids were at, um,
a basketball game or something.
Okay,
so you were alone with the husband.
Was this a regular occurrence?
What are you getting at?
I-I'm just trying to understand
what happened, uh, did
Did Mr. Bradford, um,
leave at any point?
Uh, I-I'm sorry.
Could we maybe do this another time?
It would be easier if
we got it done now.
I don't know.
Uh, you just sprung this on me,
and, um,
you're asking a lot.
Yeah.
You know what?
If we just
get a few more questions, we'll,
we'll be done,
and get you right out of here.
No, I-I want to go now.
Tim?
Mrs. Ochoa.
Did my father leave
at any point that night?
Of course not.
You think that I lied to the police?
Look, I know you were
having an affair
- Excuse me?
- It's fine.
It was a long time ago, but,
if you're protecting him
Okay, that's it.
I'm done.
She's covering for him.
Maybe,
but we can't prove that.
Thanks so much.
So, we have two officers
standing guard on rotation,
for the next 72 hours,
motion sensors
in the front yard,
and an alarm system
that will bypass 911
and send a red alert
to every cop in the area
if anything happens.
No way Elijah makes
it through that door.
How long do we have
to live like this?
Hey, the only thing
that matters
is that our family is safe.
It's gonna be okay.
Totally.
And I'm probably gonna
lose my law license, but
On the bright side,
more time with Jack.
Where you going?
Back to work.
I'm not letting
that criminal beat us.
Hi.
Thanks for
Coming all the way down
here at the last minute.
What am I doing here,
Nyla?
Okay. Well, uh,
I know that we're back to
talking through lawyers,
but I thought we could have
an actual conversation
and avoid dragging Lila
through another painful custody fight.
Okay.
What are you proposing?
Since Lila has her school
and her friends here,
I am proposing that
she spend the school year with me,
and the entire summer,
she can be with you.
And obviously,
you can visit any time.
What are you thinking?
I think there's more to consider
than just school and friends.
Okay, like what?
Like the fact that you've been an
absentee parent until recently.
Look, I will admit
that my old job
took up a lot of my time,
but that is why
I switched to patrol.
I'm sorry, why are we meeting
in front of your station
instead of the restaurant
you suggested this morning?
Because I am working
overtime on a case.
Right.
So you want me to give you
full custody
so a nanny
can raise our child?
That is not fair.
Come on, Donovan,
what is this really about?
Let me guess
- What happened at Halloween?
- No. No.
Yes, it is.
You feel guilty,
- that we slept together.
- It was an accident.
That we both made,
= so stop punishing me over it.
= I'm
I'm not.
For two years,
I have been the only parent
helping her with her school
work, going on field trips,
taking her to every single
doctor's appointment.
Where were you?
Okay.
I think the court would agree
that I am the parent
- that is the most
- Please do not do this.
Not just to me.
But to our daughter.
She's adaptable.
She'll make friends at school,
and when she gets home, she'll have
two parents there waiting for her.
Nyla
Penelope and I
can give her stability.
Oh, right. Penelope.
What's that supposed to mean?
Nothing.
I will see you in court.
Oh, man.
Never thought
I'd see your face again.
Genny tell you to visit?
Wow.
Liver really did
a number on you, old man.
I don't have it so bad.
Nurses here all love me.
It's just
No one will bring me that shot
of Patrón I keep asking for.
Ah.
Apple juice.
It's a joke.
You always seem to have
someone looking after you,
even when
you don't deserve it.
Something on your mind,
son?
Remember Frank Ochoa?
Lived down the street.
Shot to death
25 years ago.
Well, I-I'm sure you remember
his wife, Monica.
Can't say that I do.
Come on.
You were sleeping with her
behind Mom's back.
Where'd you get that from?
Because I saw you two together
when I was 13.
Oh. Crap.
For some reason,
that I still don't understand,
I lied for you,
lied to Mom.
Poor little Tim-Tim.
What are you bitching about?
You kept your mouth shut.
You did good.
Now get over it.
You know, I found the gun that
you hid in the wall.
I know you killed Frank.
But why'd you do it?
You wanted Monica
all to yourself?
Ruining one family just wasn't
enough for you, was it?
And so what if I did?
What are you gonna do about it?
Get back in bed.
Make me.
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
You're right.
I killed Frank.
But he had it coming.
So, screw him,
and screw you.
Put the cuffs on me.
Drag me away from my death bed
like a big man.
This isn't over.
Get the hell out of here.
Okay, one second.
Here comes Bailey.
Everyone on?
- Hi, Henry.
- Hey, Bailey.
It's nice to finally
Buddy,
you're breaking up.
Now Now you're frozen.
Now he's gone.
Hang on a second.
I'll ring him up.
Oh, there he is, hang on.
I'll answer.
There you are, Henry.
Can you hear me?
Hey, sorry, service is
a little spotty over here.
I'm just happy
my two favorite people
finally get
a chance to meet.
Henry, your dad tells me
you're in Japan for work.
Yeah.
Some first
Ben is
Buddy, you're breaking up.
Sorry, I gotta go.
We got a call.
Right, you go.
You go, Bailey.
So, was that
Wait, what
Now you're frozen again,
and you're still breaking up.
Henry, can you hear me?
There you are.
Grey and Lopez have something.
Great.
What's going on?
Lopez figured out how Elijah
smuggles drugs into the country.
We were replaying the tapes from
Elijah's office,
and something stuck out.
Elijah said that one of his
guys, Reyes,
was making a run
to the food bank.
He doesn't seem like
the selfless type.
Exactly.
So we dug into his finances
and found that he's been
making large donations
of canned goods from a factory
in Mexico every month.
Cans are sealed.
Dogs can't smell the drugs.
So Elijah has his food bank
import the cans,
and then his crew distributes them
throughout the Southland.
- So, that's it.
- No.
It's our theory.
Enough to get a warrant.
And Elijah's no one's fool.
He knows we heard him
reference the food bank.
He's probably clearing
the place out as we speak.
Look, I know we're going deep
into overtime territory
Screw that.
You're family. We're in.
Police!
Search warrant!
Drop it!
It's over!
I ain't saying nothing.
You don't have to.
We have enough to put you and Elijah
away for a long time.
Hey.
Hey.
My dad confessed
to Frank Ochoa's murder.
- I'm typing up the report.
- Tim
- Do me a favor and call the DA.
- But, Tim, stop.
Look, while you were gone,
I brought Monica Ochoa back in.
Why?
Because I knew there was
more to her story.
You
You couldn't see past the version
that you wanted to see.
What'd she say?
You brought me a present?
Think of it more as a
Push.
You didn't kill Frank.
Sure I did.
Now, come on.
Cuff me,
let's just get this over with.
Monica confessed.
Leave her out of this.
Frank was beating her.
She fought back.
She shot him.
She was terrified,
so she ran to you.
You came up with
the burglary story,
helped her stage the house,
then you hid the gun in case the
cops
got too close, and you
needed to frame someone else.
He was a brutal,
abusive bastard.
She deserves a medal
for what she did.
He was an abusive bastard?
What?
You think I'm like him?
I was nothing like Frank.
I taught you what
you needed to know, son.
You're a man now
because of me.
No, I'm who I am,
in spite of you.
Oh.
Goodbye, Dad.
I hope it hurts.
You okay?
No.
He was protecting her.
He never did anything
to protect us,
but his mistress
Broke half a dozen laws for her.
They picked her up.
She's being processed right now.
I don't think the DA
is gonna prosecute your dad
on his death bed.
Doesn't matter.
He'll get judged soon enough.
The Tim Tests
Those don't make me like him.
I know.
You're nothing like him.
I
Come here.
You're nothing like him.
Hey.
How'd it go
with Donovan earlier?
Mm.
Don't ask.
I didn't tell him.
I couldn't.
That's really very sweet
of you,
but he's not playing fair,
and unless you want to
lose your kid,
you have to start playing hardball.
Use Penelope's history
to get him to back off.
There's no other way for me to
win this,
- is there?
- No.
Penelope's a grown woman.
She can take care of herself.
You, take care of Lila.
Alright.
I'll call my lawyer
and tell her to use it.
Hey.
Judge signed off
on the warrant for Elijah.
Let's go get him.
Three blocks away.
Kill lights at the next intersection.
Sergeant,
we just got a 911 call.
Multiple shots fired
at your warrant address.
Did SWAT move in early?
No, sir.
They're still two minutes out.
I don't know who's shooting.
Control, we don't hear gunfire,
but there's evidence of it.
Tell SWAT we're going in.
Police!
What the hell happened here?
LAPD!
Come out with your hands up!
Give me your hands.
Who did this?
Abril.
She is not yours anymore.
No!
Abril's in Guatemala.
La Fiera's cartel
fractured when she died.
No, she took control
and then came for revenge,
'cause I'm the one who told
Wesley where to find you.
Her name is Abril Rodas.
The late La Fiera's
top sicaria.
Abril came to get revenge
on Elijah
for giving us the intel
that led to my rescue
and La Fiera's death.
But she wasn't only here
for retribution.
Her sicarios hit three competing gangs
at the same time she
cut down Elijah's crew.
They took back
all their lost territory.
BOLOs are out for Abril,
and the DEA and FBI
are launching
a joint task force.
We will keep heightened
security precautions in place
for Detective Lopez and her
family until Abril is caught.
Lucky me.
What are you doing here?
Making things right.
So, alright.
Good work today, everyone.
For those of you 20
hours into a 12 hour shift.
Go home,
you've earned the rest.
So, what do you want
this video to be?
Something embarrassing for Nolan.
I can't beat the guy on the issues.
He actually has a platform.
I didn't know we needed one.
I gotta play dirty to beat him.
I can't beat the guy on the issues.
I gotta play dirty to beat him.
That's not me.
I can't beat the guy on the issues.
I gotta play dirty to beat him.
I can't beat the guy on the issues.
I gotta play dirty to beat him.
She said she wasn't recording.
There's no expectations
of privacy here.
- A good cop should know that.
- I gotta play dirty to beat him.
I can't beat the guy on the issues.
Here, let me, let me help.
I got it.
I'm good at cleaning
things up on my own.
I know you are.
I'm-I'm sorry, I haven't been
here to help more.
Sorry I haven't been
a better big brother.
You're not that bad.
When you're around.
Well
All that changes now.
I'm coming to visit you
every holiday.
I'm gonna be calling you
at least twice a week.
And I will handle fixing up
this place,
and selling it.
You should go home.
Be with your family.
You're my family, too.
How about this?
We fix and sell this place together,
and then we'll both be done with it.
All of it.
Yeah.
What ever happened
with that gun?
Hey.
- Hey.
- I'm talking to Henry.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Outstanding.
Hey there, buddy.
How long you guys been talking?
Oh, about an hour.
Has it been that long?
I have to go get in the shower.
Really nice finally
talking to you, Henry.
I'm going to need you to
describe that Jiro dinner
in excruciating detail
when you get home.
Deal.
Oh, thank you.
Mm. Thank you.
Bye, Henry.
So
You guys finally
got a chance to talk.
What do you think?
I think that there's a reason
you've been trying
to get us to FaceTime
for the last two days.
Are you proposing?
Um, not-not yet.
I just wanted to make
sure you liked her, 'cause
things are getting serious.
Well, I'm happy for you.
And when you decide to ask,
there are some really beautiful
venues out here,
in Japan.
Destination weddings
are all the rage right now.
Thank you, buddy.
Arigato.
I had no idea
you would stoop this low.
Okay, hold on, hold on.
I-I tried to have
a conversation with you,
but you left me no choice.
I did what I thought was best.
- For Lila.
- Congratulations.
Penelope and I broke up
and Lila is devastated.
You broke up?
- That's not what I was
- Oh, please.
It's exactly what you wanted.
The move is off.
You won.
Okay, look, I'm sorry,
but I did what I had to do
to stay in my daughter's life.
You were doing the same thing,
digging into my past.
Because your past has actually
harmed our daughter.
Penelope's had nothing to do
with anything.
Then why'd you break up with her?
Because she didn't tell me.
And I can't be with another
woman who lies to me.
I guess there's no telling when
we'll be rid of the alarm system.
No, but if Abril
wants me dead,
I doubt that thing's
gonna stop her.
She killed eight armed men
by herself.
Hello?
Buenos dÃas.
Abril, where are you?
I just crossed the border.
In 20 minutes,
I'll be on a plane back home.
How's the baby?
None of your business.
What? You don't think
I would hurt him? Or you?
I spent my day wading
through dead bodies.
There's nothing
I'd put past you.
Oh, no, that was just business,
you know?
Unlike La Fiera,
I kill only when it's
strategically advantageous.
But killing a police detective
and her family
No, that is bad business,
and it will stay that way,
unless you come after me
in Guatemala.
- I'm good here.
- Bueno.
Then this is goodbye.
So, do you see
anything you like?
Um, everything.
I'm warning you right now,
I will be photographing
- all of our food.
- Go for it.
So
I've been thinking a lot,
about us lately.
Me too.
You're a pretty decent roommate.
Thanks.
And you are
a super good kisser.
And the fact of the matter is,
I'm in love with you.
Thank God.
'Cause I'm in love with you, too.
Bailey.
Jason.
I
When did they let you out?
Uh, last week.
Uh, who are you?
I'm John Nolan, her boyfriend.
And you are?
Uh, her husband.
Previously on "The Rookie"
I would like to formally
give my endorsement for union rep,
John Nolan.
Dad was a monster.
Dad's dying.
I'm really sorry
about today.
I'm still not going to
see him.
La Fiera took Angela.
I need to know where
she's holding her.
No problem. I'll do whatever
it takes to get her back.
You work for me now.
Making a deal with
Elijah was the only way
that I could get you home safe.
- Well, you're not becoming a C.
- I.
I will do everything humanly
possible to keep him safe.
We can't screw this up.
We won't.
Ugh.
7-Adam-15, Code 4.
Suspect is in custody.
- Are you looking at engagement rings?
- Maybe
- What do you think of this one?
- Oh, for Bailey?
Oh, my God.
- Are you going to propose?
- Uh, maybe.
I mean, I'm thinking about it.
I-I know we haven't
been dating very long
No, what matters is how you feel,
and-and
I've never
seen you happier.
Me and my lady got
hitched after three weeks,
and we're still going strong.
- When you know, you know.
- Exactly.
The only thing I don't know,
is what kind of ring she would like.
But that's that's
pretty, right?
No one wears emerald cut
anymore.
There's a reason
I left that behind.
Was Henry excited when you told him?
Henry.
They haven't even met.
I can't think about proposing
until I get his blessing.
Invite them both over for dinner.
He's in Japan through Christmas.
Oh, you know what?
This is good, it'll give you time
to plan the proposal,
and I know of a photographer
- that's not too expensive.
- A photographer
for a proposal?
I could hook you up
with the choreographer
- that designed mine.
- Choreographer?
Okay, um,
see I was just thinking about
going to a nice restaurant,
and, you know
Asking.
Yeah.
Let's workshop it,
back at the station.
Come on.
Oh, I see
what you're doing there.
You asked me,
to help decorate your tree.
Yes, that was to trick you
into staying for a few more days.
No trickery required.
Mm.
You know, in spite of myself,
I have really enjoyed this whole
being taken care of
thing the last few weeks.
And now that my leg
is feeling better,
I want to start making it up to you.
Well, while I like the sound of that,
it's really
Really not necessary.
I mean, that's one of
the many built-in perks
of being in a healthy relationship.
Which, by the way,
do you still feel you're
terrible at intimacy?
I may have graduated to mediocre.
Oh, I'd say you're at least
intermediate, if not proficient.
- Oh.
- By the way,
Henry's supposed to call this morning.
I was hoping the two of you could talk
and finally get a chance
to know one another.
I would love that,
but it's my first day
back from medical,
and I can't be late.
Speaking of
Is he free tonight?
Uh, well, he might be in meetings.
Tonight is tomorrow,
for him, I think?
I don't know.
I keep forgetting
how the time change works.
Okay, another day then.
I'm so sorry, I have to go,
- and tell Henry I said hi, okay?
- Okay.
- Bye.
- See ya.
Oh, um, there's, uh
Hey.
Hey, Dad.
Sorry I'm late.
- Dinner ran a little long.
- Uhm
No, no problem.
How's Japan?
Well, Nolan says
an open concept sells better,
so I'm thinking we,
take out this wall,
and then move on to the kitchen.
Do you remember how
Mom used to make us
pose by the window,
for every formal dance?
Oh, my gosh.
My mom did that, too.
And I always had to
have a wrist corsage.
Yes,
why was that ever a thing?
No
No more reminiscing,
this is about fixing up the house,
and selling it, that's it.
What? Wait, wait, wait.
Hold on.
I mean, you guys are ending
a huge chapter in your lives.
You guys need closure.
What?
I said you need closure!
What?
You're an idiot.
Did you vote yet?
The polls just opened
20 minutes ago.
- We have all week.
- I know.
Vote for change.
I just know that,
low voter turnout is an
epidemic in this country,
and I don't want to
lose to apathy.
Can I ask you something?
Do you think marriage proposals
have to be a big spectacle nowadays?
No.
No,
all those viral flash mobs are tacky.
It should be an intimate moment,
not some desperate grab for likes.
Okay, that's what I thought, but,
Lucy seems to think I need
to plan something extravagant.
Is Lucy the one
- you're proposing to?
- No.
- Am I the one you're proposing to?
- No.
So why are you
talking to either of us,
- about this?
- Right.
The only person's opinion
who matters is Bailey's.
Yeah, I-I'm not even sure
myself yet, I'm just
Testing the waters. Mm-hmm.
Well, whenever you do,
make sure that you let her help you
pick out a ring.
Donovan got me this massive
diamond that cost a fortune,
and was not my style,
- at all.
- Really?
One of the best things,
about the divorce,
was finally getting
to sell that thing.
Huh.
Tamara, hey.
Oh.
Hey, John.
Do you know where
Sergeant Grey's office is?
I sure do.
The big glass one right there.
- Oh. Thank you.
- See ya.
Hey.
Ready for our interview?
I am so sorry, I
Something came up.
Is there any way we can
reschedule to next week?
Uh, my criminal sociology
paper's due on Friday.
But it's fine, I'm sure
whatever you're doing
is way more important.
Remind me what this paper's
about again.
Um, how aging affects
perspectives
of cops throughout their career.
And Lucy told me you'd be
the perfect candidate
because you're an old
I'm sorry, uhh
I mean veteran officer.
Right.
Follow me.
Smitty.
This is Tamara.
She'll be shadowing you.
You mean like a ride-along?
No, not
You are not to step foot outside
this station with her.
Just show her around,
answer her questions.
Sure thing, boss.
There's nothing I don't know
about policing.
Ask me anything.
You spelled
"magnet" wrong.
So, our target is Elijah Stone.
He's smart
and ruthless.
Multiple agencies have tried
to get listening devices
in his base of operation.
Every attempt has failed.
But other agencies didn't have
our ace in the hole
Wesley Evers.
As Elijah's lawyer,
Wesley is ideally situated
to place a listening device
in Elijah's main office.
Please familiarize yourself
with the briefing materials
and be ready to roll out in an hour.
That's it.
You don't have to do this,
you know.
Yes, I do.
This is the bug you'll be planting.
Did you read the list of
suggested locations
I put together?
I did, but I doubt I'm gonna have time
to unscrew an electrical socket.
With limited time, I would focus on
someplace high, or someplace low.
The most important thing
is doing it safely.
Agreed, if you do not have
the opportunity today, that's fine.
We can try again when
you meet with him next time.
Wesley, Metro wants to go over
a few things.
I know cops aren't
supposed to make promises,
but promise me,
you'll keep him safe.
We promise.
So, you've been on the force for
30 years.
What's been the biggest
challenge as you've gotten older?
The change in technology?
Procedure?
Yes.
Hey, you ever heard of ClipTalk?
I'm trying to upload a meme.
You can't be serious.
This is how you want to
beat your opponent?
Hell yeah.
Help me go viral,
and I'll buy you a candy bar.
- Surveillance is in position.
- Copy.
Rescue Vehicle One in position.
Wesley should arrive for
his meeting with Elijah in about
10 minutes.
Oh, my skip tracer
just sent his report.
- Your skip tracer?
- Well, yeah.
I can't use
police resources
to run personal background checks, so,
I got a guy
on retainer.
You should have one, too.
What do you got him
looking for?
Leverage.
I'm trying to find anything I can use
to keep Donovan from getting custody
and moving Lila to San Francisco.
And?
- Did he find anything?
- Uh, no.
Quote, "Your ex is so boring,"
"I am charging you double."
You guys are so lucky.
I begged my mom and
dad to have a sibling.
They got me a turtle.
Um, it was cute, but a little smelly.
Cute and smelly pretty much sums up
Tim's teenage years.
You didn't miss much.
Wow.
And to think
I was actually excited
when they brought you
home from the hospital.
Little did I know.
What is it?
There's, there's something in the wall.
Ooh, is it my Malibu Barbie?
She's worth a lot now.
No, it's, it's metal.
What the hell is a gun
doing in our wall?
How long has that
been back there?
It's hard to say.
Look
The serial number's been filed off.
That's what criminals do,
right?
We need to run ballistics.
Wait, you don't actually think
it was used in a crime?
Well, it's our job
to find out.
We'll be back as soon as we can.
But it's your day off.
You said you'd help.
It won't take long.
C'mon, Chen.
I knew you'd find
some excuse to leave.
Genny,
this is serious.
It's fine.
Go.
Uh
Hey, she's got a point.
I mean, you could've called
someone to handle this.
- You still can.
- No.
A good sergeant doesn't
create work for his officers.
Even on his day off.
And it's not at all
about the emotions
this house is stirring up?
It's just a house.
- Holy crap.
- What?
My skip tracer looked into
Penelope,
Donovan's fiancée.
She used to be an escort.
Whoa.
Yeah, she's,
she's been lying to him this whole time.
Well, you don't know that.
She may have already told Donovan.
Or, heck, that could be
how they met.
Oh no, no.
Donovan is such a prude.
If he found out, he would lose it.
And if the court found out
- You'd win your case.
- It just doesn't feel right,
bringing her into our fight.
And the fact that
she was a sex worker
has no bearing on her
as a stepmom.
Neither does you doing undercover,
but he's using that against you.
Sure, but using her past against her
makes me just as bad as Donovan.
I can't, I-I
I got to figure out something
else to change his mind.
- Okay, any ideas how?
- No.
Heads up.
Wesley's going in.
Elijah's expecting me.
Cellphone.
Come in.
Sit down.
So
How are we getting Reyes
out of trouble?
I can get the witness testimony
thrown out, but the,
uh, surveillance video
is a whole other problem.
Looking for something?
You guys paint since I was last here?
No.
Room looks different.
Must be the Christmas decorations.
As I was saying,
the video is a problem,
but your bigger issue is,
your guys don't know how to
- get arrested.
- He's doing great.
They can't keep
assaulting police officers.
Yeah.
He'll be fine.
Resisting arrest is making
my life harder.
You hear that, Moreno?
Our friend thinks I'm making
life too hard for him.
- No, it's just
- It's what, Counselor?
What part of our arrangement
is about making your life easier?
Hmm.
Nothing.
Piece of unsolicited advice
fire Reyes as soon as possible.
So?
He punched the arresting officer.
Reyes is good people.
Reyes is a moron.
He bragged about the assault
to an inmate in lockup,
ended up being an informant.
Where is he?
Making a run to the food bank.
Alright, when he's done,
get him in here.
Someone needs a refresher course
on keeping his damn mouth shut.
Now
I'm hearing whispers,
about a threat on the horizon,
but I can't get traction on it.
That's news to me.
Well, what about your wife?
Has she heard anything?
Uh,
I don't know,
You guys are
lucky to have me.
That's the signal.
Point to all units.
Friendly has given the signal.
Go ahead and initiate "Blind Eye."
I can't make any promises,
but
What's going on?
We may have a problem.
Get your hands up!
- Get your hands up!
- Hands up!
- Don't move!
- Hands behind your head.
Get down on your knees.
Well, that's not ours.
No.
Never seen him before.
- Everything okay, guys?
- Yeah, it's nothing.
Just, uh
That's the second signal.
He's planted the bug.
Music has been deployed.
Stop units can clear.
He did it.
Now get out of there.
Well, that's it.
That's all I got for you.
He's walking out now.
Okay, good work,
Counselor.
Keep me updated on Reyes.
Will do, but seriously,
fire him,
or teach him to keep his mouth shut.
Boaz.
Come walk out the lawyer.
He's ready to go.
Go again.
Boaz, do you copy?
Come get the lawyer.
That's static.
The bug Wesley planted
could create interference
with a two-way radio.
We didn't know they use
walkie-talkies in there?
- Harper, come in.
- Already on it.
All units, stand by.
Be ready to breach on my go.
I can't hear you.
Come again?
Can I just walk myself out?
I mean, seriously,
I have a
meeting across town in 30 minutes.
Oh, no, no.
Slow up, Counselor.
It can wait.
This is very interesting.
You know, from what I recall,
when the sirens went off,
you didn't even jump.
Didn't even bother to look.
It's almost like you knew
they were coming.
What the hell are you talking about?
Mm.
We may need a new exterminator.
We have to go now.
No. Elijah's too smart
to hurt Wesley
while we're listening.
All units hold.
What is that?
No, no, no, no.
Don't even play.
Testing, testing.
Can you hear me?
Whoever you are.
Is it the FBI?
The DEA?
Oh, wait, no.
Of course.
What am I thinking?
It's the LAPD.
I bet your lovely wife
is out there listening,
too, isn't she?
Angie.
You out there, sweetheart?
You're smart.
You know I don't say anything
incriminating
in front of your husband,
so you turned him into
a Trojan Horse to leave a bug behind.
And your little game almost worked,
too.
Speaking of games,
you know what my favorite is?
"I Spy."
I spy, with my little eye,
a pest control van.
No. No.
No, you wouldn't be in there.
That's too "Miami Vice."
Oh.
There's a mail truck.
No, no, no.
That has to stay on the move,
lest someone get suspicious.
Oh. The minivan.
Roomy enough for equipment,
yet nondescript.
So, tell me, Angie,
did I win the game?
Of course I did.
I always win.
You know why?
Because I play by the rules.
Which means I'm gonna
report your husband
to the California State Bar.
That's right.
I'm gonna have his law license revoked
for betraying the trust of a client.
This is not over.
For you, it is.
Wesley, come on, man.
He's all yours.
I just fired him.
- Listen to me closely.
- Uh-huh.
You lay a hand on him or his family,
it'll be the last thing you do
as a free man.
I don't need to touch him.
He just screwed himself.
Let's go.
Walk away.
Until we meet again, Counselor.
Hey, ballistics came back on
the gun we found in the wall.
- That was fast.
- Yeah, I mean,
I had to buy a case
of Girl Scout cookies
from Derek's kid.
You're welcome.
Okay, so,
the striations from the
gun match up with a bullet
from a homicide from 25 years ago.
The murder victim's name
was Frank Ochoa.
He lived down the street.
I was 14 when he was murdered.
According to the case file,
Frank's murder was
the result of a suspected
botched home invasion.
Well, I think we can rule that out
now that we found the gun in our wall.
Do you remember anything
from that night?
Yeah,
I had a football game.
Uh, my mom took me and Genny, and,
when we got back,
there were cops everywhere.
My dad hated that guy.
Your dad had an alibi.
Um, Frank's wife, Monica.
She was at the house.
He was helping her with her taxes.
Monica is not a solid alibi.
They were having an affair.
My mom didn't know
- But I did.
- Uh, if
If Frank discovered the affair
My dad would have
had motive to kill him.
That's how the gun
ended up in the wall.
Okay, but why hide it in there?
I mean, why not just dump it
in a storm drain,
- or an ocean?
- I don't know.
You did good today.
Not good enough.
The radio interference
wasn't your fault.
Doesn't make me
any less scared.
- What's next?
- We regroup,
and hit this
in the morning.
You two go home, cuddle Jack.
Install the VARDA system.
And get to know
your security detail.
VARDA?
Don't worry, it's only
the most intrusive
and creepy security
system ever invented.
Thank you for everything.
I wish I could do more.
Hey.
Why are you letting Smitty
walk all over you?
I'm not letting Smitty
Yes, you are.
I've been here watching Smitty talk
smack about you to the other officers.
I-It's obscene.
Please tell me you're
planning on hitting back.
Okay, I agree
it's not great,
but Smitty has chosen his path,
and I'm not gonna get
anywhere if I resort to
the same tricks he does.
But you're still not
gonna get anywhere
if you let this happen, either.
You could lose.
I think negativity
turns off voters.
I'm gonna run a clean campaign,
and apologies,
I do have a call
scheduled with my son.
Can we pick this up later?
- Sure.
- Thank you.
Don't tell me you have
more interview questions?
Just one.
You want to go viral?
I'll help you
make the video.
What's your ClipTalk password?
Hey, where you going?
Monica Ochoa's in Interrogation.
I'm gonna get to
the bottom of this.
Whoa, whoa.
Wait, wait, wait.
You're going to question
your father's mistress?
She's his alibi.
If anyone knows whether or
not
my dad killed her husband,
- it's her.
- Yes,
but you can't be
the one to question her.
Look, we need to do this right.
You do it.
Thank you for coming in,
Mrs. Ochoa.
Of course.
So, what is this all about?
Your husband's murder.
We recently had a break
in the case,
and we just wanted to go over
a few details with you.
What do you mean,
a break in the case?
It's been 25 years.
I'm afraid I'm not at liberty
to discuss the details at this time.
What do you remember.
about that night?
I have been over this
so many times.
Don't you have the report?
It's all in there.
I'm sorry.
I realize this is a painful subject.
I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.
I was across the street
at the neighbors'.
The Bradfords.
Right.
Tom was helping me with our taxes.
Um,
I had made a mess with them,
and he was a CPA.
When I got back home,
the door was open,
and, um
The place was a mess.
I-I'm sorry, um
It's been a very long time
since I've had to talk about this.
Uh, just
Take your time.
I found, uh,
my husband, Frank.
He was
His body was in the kitchen.
Um
There was blood everywhere.
I guess he surprised
whoever broke in,
and, um, they shot him.
You were close,
with the Bradford family?
We socialized,
like neighbors used to.
So, the night of the murder,
you were at their house,
working on your taxes,
and, uh,
the rest of the Bradford family
was there?
Uh, no,
Mrs. Bradford and the kids were at, um,
a basketball game or something.
Okay,
so you were alone with the husband.
Was this a regular occurrence?
What are you getting at?
I-I'm just trying to understand
what happened, uh, did
Did Mr. Bradford, um,
leave at any point?
Uh, I-I'm sorry.
Could we maybe do this another time?
It would be easier if
we got it done now.
I don't know.
Uh, you just sprung this on me,
and, um,
you're asking a lot.
Yeah.
You know what?
If we just
get a few more questions, we'll,
we'll be done,
and get you right out of here.
No, I-I want to go now.
Tim?
Mrs. Ochoa.
Did my father leave
at any point that night?
Of course not.
You think that I lied to the police?
Look, I know you were
having an affair
- Excuse me?
- It's fine.
It was a long time ago, but,
if you're protecting him
Okay, that's it.
I'm done.
She's covering for him.
Maybe,
but we can't prove that.
Thanks so much.
So, we have two officers
standing guard on rotation,
for the next 72 hours,
motion sensors
in the front yard,
and an alarm system
that will bypass 911
and send a red alert
to every cop in the area
if anything happens.
No way Elijah makes
it through that door.
How long do we have
to live like this?
Hey, the only thing
that matters
is that our family is safe.
It's gonna be okay.
Totally.
And I'm probably gonna
lose my law license, but
On the bright side,
more time with Jack.
Where you going?
Back to work.
I'm not letting
that criminal beat us.
Hi.
Thanks for
Coming all the way down
here at the last minute.
What am I doing here,
Nyla?
Okay. Well, uh,
I know that we're back to
talking through lawyers,
but I thought we could have
an actual conversation
and avoid dragging Lila
through another painful custody fight.
Okay.
What are you proposing?
Since Lila has her school
and her friends here,
I am proposing that
she spend the school year with me,
and the entire summer,
she can be with you.
And obviously,
you can visit any time.
What are you thinking?
I think there's more to consider
than just school and friends.
Okay, like what?
Like the fact that you've been an
absentee parent until recently.
Look, I will admit
that my old job
took up a lot of my time,
but that is why
I switched to patrol.
I'm sorry, why are we meeting
in front of your station
instead of the restaurant
you suggested this morning?
Because I am working
overtime on a case.
Right.
So you want me to give you
full custody
so a nanny
can raise our child?
That is not fair.
Come on, Donovan,
what is this really about?
Let me guess
- What happened at Halloween?
- No. No.
Yes, it is.
You feel guilty,
- that we slept together.
- It was an accident.
That we both made,
= so stop punishing me over it.
= I'm
I'm not.
For two years,
I have been the only parent
helping her with her school
work, going on field trips,
taking her to every single
doctor's appointment.
Where were you?
Okay.
I think the court would agree
that I am the parent
- that is the most
- Please do not do this.
Not just to me.
But to our daughter.
She's adaptable.
She'll make friends at school,
and when she gets home, she'll have
two parents there waiting for her.
Nyla
Penelope and I
can give her stability.
Oh, right. Penelope.
What's that supposed to mean?
Nothing.
I will see you in court.
Oh, man.
Never thought
I'd see your face again.
Genny tell you to visit?
Wow.
Liver really did
a number on you, old man.
I don't have it so bad.
Nurses here all love me.
It's just
No one will bring me that shot
of Patrón I keep asking for.
Ah.
Apple juice.
It's a joke.
You always seem to have
someone looking after you,
even when
you don't deserve it.
Something on your mind,
son?
Remember Frank Ochoa?
Lived down the street.
Shot to death
25 years ago.
Well, I-I'm sure you remember
his wife, Monica.
Can't say that I do.
Come on.
You were sleeping with her
behind Mom's back.
Where'd you get that from?
Because I saw you two together
when I was 13.
Oh. Crap.
For some reason,
that I still don't understand,
I lied for you,
lied to Mom.
Poor little Tim-Tim.
What are you bitching about?
You kept your mouth shut.
You did good.
Now get over it.
You know, I found the gun that
you hid in the wall.
I know you killed Frank.
But why'd you do it?
You wanted Monica
all to yourself?
Ruining one family just wasn't
enough for you, was it?
And so what if I did?
What are you gonna do about it?
Get back in bed.
Make me.
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
You're right.
I killed Frank.
But he had it coming.
So, screw him,
and screw you.
Put the cuffs on me.
Drag me away from my death bed
like a big man.
This isn't over.
Get the hell out of here.
Okay, one second.
Here comes Bailey.
Everyone on?
- Hi, Henry.
- Hey, Bailey.
It's nice to finally
Buddy,
you're breaking up.
Now Now you're frozen.
Now he's gone.
Hang on a second.
I'll ring him up.
Oh, there he is, hang on.
I'll answer.
There you are, Henry.
Can you hear me?
Hey, sorry, service is
a little spotty over here.
I'm just happy
my two favorite people
finally get
a chance to meet.
Henry, your dad tells me
you're in Japan for work.
Yeah.
Some first
Ben is
Buddy, you're breaking up.
Sorry, I gotta go.
We got a call.
Right, you go.
You go, Bailey.
So, was that
Wait, what
Now you're frozen again,
and you're still breaking up.
Henry, can you hear me?
There you are.
Grey and Lopez have something.
Great.
What's going on?
Lopez figured out how Elijah
smuggles drugs into the country.
We were replaying the tapes from
Elijah's office,
and something stuck out.
Elijah said that one of his
guys, Reyes,
was making a run
to the food bank.
He doesn't seem like
the selfless type.
Exactly.
So we dug into his finances
and found that he's been
making large donations
of canned goods from a factory
in Mexico every month.
Cans are sealed.
Dogs can't smell the drugs.
So Elijah has his food bank
import the cans,
and then his crew distributes them
throughout the Southland.
- So, that's it.
- No.
It's our theory.
Enough to get a warrant.
And Elijah's no one's fool.
He knows we heard him
reference the food bank.
He's probably clearing
the place out as we speak.
Look, I know we're going deep
into overtime territory
Screw that.
You're family. We're in.
Police!
Search warrant!
Drop it!
It's over!
I ain't saying nothing.
You don't have to.
We have enough to put you and Elijah
away for a long time.
Hey.
Hey.
My dad confessed
to Frank Ochoa's murder.
- I'm typing up the report.
- Tim
- Do me a favor and call the DA.
- But, Tim, stop.
Look, while you were gone,
I brought Monica Ochoa back in.
Why?
Because I knew there was
more to her story.
You
You couldn't see past the version
that you wanted to see.
What'd she say?
You brought me a present?
Think of it more as a
Push.
You didn't kill Frank.
Sure I did.
Now, come on.
Cuff me,
let's just get this over with.
Monica confessed.
Leave her out of this.
Frank was beating her.
She fought back.
She shot him.
She was terrified,
so she ran to you.
You came up with
the burglary story,
helped her stage the house,
then you hid the gun in case the
cops
got too close, and you
needed to frame someone else.
He was a brutal,
abusive bastard.
She deserves a medal
for what she did.
He was an abusive bastard?
What?
You think I'm like him?
I was nothing like Frank.
I taught you what
you needed to know, son.
You're a man now
because of me.
No, I'm who I am,
in spite of you.
Oh.
Goodbye, Dad.
I hope it hurts.
You okay?
No.
He was protecting her.
He never did anything
to protect us,
but his mistress
Broke half a dozen laws for her.
They picked her up.
She's being processed right now.
I don't think the DA
is gonna prosecute your dad
on his death bed.
Doesn't matter.
He'll get judged soon enough.
The Tim Tests
Those don't make me like him.
I know.
You're nothing like him.
I
Come here.
You're nothing like him.
Hey.
How'd it go
with Donovan earlier?
Mm.
Don't ask.
I didn't tell him.
I couldn't.
That's really very sweet
of you,
but he's not playing fair,
and unless you want to
lose your kid,
you have to start playing hardball.
Use Penelope's history
to get him to back off.
There's no other way for me to
win this,
- is there?
- No.
Penelope's a grown woman.
She can take care of herself.
You, take care of Lila.
Alright.
I'll call my lawyer
and tell her to use it.
Hey.
Judge signed off
on the warrant for Elijah.
Let's go get him.
Three blocks away.
Kill lights at the next intersection.
Sergeant,
we just got a 911 call.
Multiple shots fired
at your warrant address.
Did SWAT move in early?
No, sir.
They're still two minutes out.
I don't know who's shooting.
Control, we don't hear gunfire,
but there's evidence of it.
Tell SWAT we're going in.
Police!
What the hell happened here?
LAPD!
Come out with your hands up!
Give me your hands.
Who did this?
Abril.
She is not yours anymore.
No!
Abril's in Guatemala.
La Fiera's cartel
fractured when she died.
No, she took control
and then came for revenge,
'cause I'm the one who told
Wesley where to find you.
Her name is Abril Rodas.
The late La Fiera's
top sicaria.
Abril came to get revenge
on Elijah
for giving us the intel
that led to my rescue
and La Fiera's death.
But she wasn't only here
for retribution.
Her sicarios hit three competing gangs
at the same time she
cut down Elijah's crew.
They took back
all their lost territory.
BOLOs are out for Abril,
and the DEA and FBI
are launching
a joint task force.
We will keep heightened
security precautions in place
for Detective Lopez and her
family until Abril is caught.
Lucky me.
What are you doing here?
Making things right.
So, alright.
Good work today, everyone.
For those of you 20
hours into a 12 hour shift.
Go home,
you've earned the rest.
So, what do you want
this video to be?
Something embarrassing for Nolan.
I can't beat the guy on the issues.
He actually has a platform.
I didn't know we needed one.
I gotta play dirty to beat him.
I can't beat the guy on the issues.
I gotta play dirty to beat him.
That's not me.
I can't beat the guy on the issues.
I gotta play dirty to beat him.
I can't beat the guy on the issues.
I gotta play dirty to beat him.
She said she wasn't recording.
There's no expectations
of privacy here.
- A good cop should know that.
- I gotta play dirty to beat him.
I can't beat the guy on the issues.
Here, let me, let me help.
I got it.
I'm good at cleaning
things up on my own.
I know you are.
I'm-I'm sorry, I haven't been
here to help more.
Sorry I haven't been
a better big brother.
You're not that bad.
When you're around.
Well
All that changes now.
I'm coming to visit you
every holiday.
I'm gonna be calling you
at least twice a week.
And I will handle fixing up
this place,
and selling it.
You should go home.
Be with your family.
You're my family, too.
How about this?
We fix and sell this place together,
and then we'll both be done with it.
All of it.
Yeah.
What ever happened
with that gun?
Hey.
- Hey.
- I'm talking to Henry.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Outstanding.
Hey there, buddy.
How long you guys been talking?
Oh, about an hour.
Has it been that long?
I have to go get in the shower.
Really nice finally
talking to you, Henry.
I'm going to need you to
describe that Jiro dinner
in excruciating detail
when you get home.
Deal.
Oh, thank you.
Mm. Thank you.
Bye, Henry.
So
You guys finally
got a chance to talk.
What do you think?
I think that there's a reason
you've been trying
to get us to FaceTime
for the last two days.
Are you proposing?
Um, not-not yet.
I just wanted to make
sure you liked her, 'cause
things are getting serious.
Well, I'm happy for you.
And when you decide to ask,
there are some really beautiful
venues out here,
in Japan.
Destination weddings
are all the rage right now.
Thank you, buddy.
Arigato.
I had no idea
you would stoop this low.
Okay, hold on, hold on.
I-I tried to have
a conversation with you,
but you left me no choice.
I did what I thought was best.
- For Lila.
- Congratulations.
Penelope and I broke up
and Lila is devastated.
You broke up?
- That's not what I was
- Oh, please.
It's exactly what you wanted.
The move is off.
You won.
Okay, look, I'm sorry,
but I did what I had to do
to stay in my daughter's life.
You were doing the same thing,
digging into my past.
Because your past has actually
harmed our daughter.
Penelope's had nothing to do
with anything.
Then why'd you break up with her?
Because she didn't tell me.
And I can't be with another
woman who lies to me.
I guess there's no telling when
we'll be rid of the alarm system.
No, but if Abril
wants me dead,
I doubt that thing's
gonna stop her.
She killed eight armed men
by herself.
Hello?
Buenos dÃas.
Abril, where are you?
I just crossed the border.
In 20 minutes,
I'll be on a plane back home.
How's the baby?
None of your business.
What? You don't think
I would hurt him? Or you?
I spent my day wading
through dead bodies.
There's nothing
I'd put past you.
Oh, no, that was just business,
you know?
Unlike La Fiera,
I kill only when it's
strategically advantageous.
But killing a police detective
and her family
No, that is bad business,
and it will stay that way,
unless you come after me
in Guatemala.
- I'm good here.
- Bueno.
Then this is goodbye.
So, do you see
anything you like?
Um, everything.
I'm warning you right now,
I will be photographing
- all of our food.
- Go for it.
So
I've been thinking a lot,
about us lately.
Me too.
You're a pretty decent roommate.
Thanks.
And you are
a super good kisser.
And the fact of the matter is,
I'm in love with you.
Thank God.
'Cause I'm in love with you, too.
Bailey.
Jason.
I
When did they let you out?
Uh, last week.
Uh, who are you?
I'm John Nolan, her boyfriend.
And you are?
Uh, her husband.
