Hardly.

Oh, yikes.
Well, I know you'll find
a way to motivate them.
- Mm.
- Hey, roomie question.
Yeah.
I mean, should I expect to
see Tim around more often?
What? Why?
Well, I mean, no, nothing.
It's just that, I mean, we
might wanna make a schedule.
With Rodge on tour,
we're fine for now.
I mean, but we might
run into hot water issues.
Are you just assuming that
Tim and I are back together?
You're a sergeant, he's a sergeant.
Problem solved.
There were a lot of other problems.
And we still need to have
a serious conversation
before anything more can happen.
Right.
So what are you waiting for?
We're on opposite schedules.

Lucy's asleep,

Well, you might break it again

[SIGHS]
Hey.
What's that?
Oh, this is my wall of Oscar.
Only it's not up on a wall,
because then it'd be a crazy wall.
And I'm not crazy, I'm just
- Obsessed?
- Yeah.
No.
Well
Yeah.
This Oscar Hutchinson is
the worst person in the world.
I just need him behind bars.
I don't find that to be irrational.
It's not.
But do you pull this
out and stare at it
every time I leave the house?
No.
No.
I just
Whenever I get a hit from one of
the
law enforcement databases,
I pull it out,
and I add it to the Oscar chart.
Well, what was today's alert?
Oh, uh
Sal Detto was murdered yesterday
at a motel in Barstow.
Sal and Oscar used
to be running buddies
back in the late '90s.
They were part of a three-man
crew that stole $10 million
worth of diamonds from a
jewelry store in Las Vegas.
But if Oscar had that kind of cash,
why wasn't he living
on a beach somewhere?
Because when the crew was
on their way back to Los Angeles,
the cops caught on to them.
So they split up, managed to hide out.
Oscar escaped, but
Sal Detto was arrested,
as was the third member
of the crew, Reggie Acosta.
But the diamonds were never recovered.
So they hid them before the arrest?
One of them did.
And I think it was Reggie Acosta.
Because Oscar wasn't
rolling in money afterwards.
Exactly.
And Sal Detto got out
of prison five years ago.
He's been living in an SRO ever since.
Logically, the only one who knows
where those diamonds are hidden,
is Reggie Acosta.
When does Reggie get out of prison?
Today is the day Reggie
Acosta gets out of prison.
Now, it's clear to me that Sal
was going to Barstow,
to wait for Reggie.
Stands to reason Oscar
would do the same thing.
But knowing Oscar, he killed Sal
so he wouldn't have to share.
And it's more than likely
he's going to kill Reggie,
once he retrieves the diamonds.
Did you reach out to
the Feds about this theory?
Well, Garza was kind
enough not to laugh at my face.
U.S. Marshals, not so much.
I mean, it's definitely a stretch.
But since you feel
so strongly about it,
I will grant you a
temporary duty assignment.
Congratulations.
You are officially Detective
Nolan for the next 48 hours.
Give Barstow PD a heads up,
- and take Harper with you.
- Yes, sir.
Hey, hey, hey.
Get this off my desk.
[CLATTERING]
Just leave.
Just leave.
It's all just so confusing.
Like, I know I've been out
of the game for a minute,
but I didn't think I was
gonna have to learn
a whole new language
just to be on the dating apps.
- Like what?
- Like what does
"ethically non-monogamous" mean?
It's when people in the
relationship are all dating,
and/or sleeping with other people,
with the consent of everyone involved.
Well, what if I just wanna be
monogamous, monogamous?
That's still allowed.
Cool.
Well, how do I find it?
Um
You
Oh, you specify under Intentions.
Would you say you're looking
for a short-term relationship,
long-term relationship,
long-term open to short,
or short-term open to long?
Well, that's
That's a lot going on.
You know, back in my
day, we just went to bars.
Oh, yes, sir.
Well, I was just filling out,
you know, a profile or two,
but maybe nothing'll come from it.
As long as you don't
put down that you're a cop.
- Why? It's what I do.
- Which would be fine
if you were an
accountant or a realtor.
Look, people have very
strong opinions about cops.
Some people hate us,
won't give you a chance.
And some people love us
too much, which is just as bad.
Yeah, well, we had badge
bunnies back in Sugarland
I mean, not that I have any
personal experience with them
because I was with
Camilla for so long.
Look, it shouldn't be on your profile.
All right, well, I'll take it off.
- You know how to do it.
- Let's go, Boot.
All right.
[ANIMAL CHIRPING]
Thanks again for doing this.
I know getting Oscar is a long shot.
Yeah, I'm happy to help.
And honestly, having a bed
to myself for a whole night
more than makes up for it.
- [CHUCKLES]
- And what a crazy year it has been.
You have no idea.
Strike that.
You actually were knocked
around worse than we were.
Yeah.
But we all made it through,
- mostly intact.
- Mostly.
You know, I'm
actually feeling excited.
Getting back in the
dating game should be fun.
Man, dating in LA is the worst.
You haven't even started yet.
I was actually hoping
for a little encouragement.
From me?
Right.

to save my girlfriend.
She needs a heart

She'll die without it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
The only doctor who can
save Boyana is in Switzerland.
To get there from her village
in Bulgaria will cost 5,000.
And the procedure
itself is nearly 50,000.
So you robbed a bank?
I know it was wrong.
But she has revolving myeloma.
It's a rare disorder. Her
blood type keeps changing.
A transplant is near impossible.
- Is that a thing?
- If it is, it's news to me.
- How did you meet Boyana?
- Social media.
She liked one of my
posts, and we just hit it off.
So you two haven't met in person?
No, we just talk online.
Hmm.
You notice anything
weird about her hands?
No.
Seven fingers on one
and three on the other?
[QUIRKY MUSIC]
Okay. Like a birth defect?
No.
Like this is AI-generated.
Revolving myeloma isn't real.
People's blood type
doesn't magically change.
Someone posing as
Boyana is scamming you.
That's
No.
- No, you're wrong.
- I'm not.

multiple felonies,
and you're going to jail.

Still excited to jump

Less and less.

cameras are broken out here.

Oscar Hutchinson.
Yes, sir.
Photos have circulated
to local and state police.
We'll keep our eyes out.
- Any other motels in the area?
- No, sir.
This is the only spot for 40 miles.
Is there anything else
I can do for you guys?
No, we're gonna set up here.
Yes, ma'am.
All right, Detective Nolan.
What do you see?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Okay, well
Nothing is really knocked over.
Our victim was lying in the
bed, presumably watching TV.
Hears a knock at the door,
walks straight to the door.
Assailant comes in, stabs him.
He staggers back,
lands there, face up.
It makes sense that
he would open the door
for Oscar, a familiar face.
And viciously stabbing
an old friend to death
is so very Oscar.
Yeah.
All right, get us a couple
rooms with a vantage point.
You got it.

I pull it out,

Well, what was today's alert?
Oh, uh
Sal Detto was murdered yesterday
at a motel in Barstow.
Sal and Oscar used
to be running buddies
back in the late '90s.
They were part of a three-man
crew that stole $10 million
worth of diamonds from a
jewelry store in Las Vegas.
But if Oscar had that kind of cash,
why wasn't he living
on a beach somewhere?
Because when the crew was
on their way back to Los Angeles,
the cops caught on to them.
So they split up, managed to hide out.
Oscar escaped, but
Sal Detto was arrested,
as was the third member
of the crew, Reggie Acosta.
But the diamonds were never recovered.
So they hid them before the arrest?
One of them did.
And I think it was Reggie Acosta.
Because Oscar wasn't
rolling in money afterwards.
Exactly.
And Sal Detto got out
of prison five years ago.
He's been living in an SRO ever since.
Logically, the only one who knows
where those diamonds are hidden,
is Reggie Acosta.
When does Reggie get out of prison?
Today is the day Reggie
Acosta gets out of prison.
Now, it's clear to me that Sal
was going to Barstow,
to wait for Reggie.
Stands to reason Oscar
would do the same thing.
But knowing Oscar, he killed Sal
so he wouldn't have to share.
And it's more than likely
he's going to kill Reggie,
once he retrieves the diamonds.
Did you reach out to
the Feds about this theory?
Well, Garza was kind
enough not to laugh at my face.
