So which one of these
is your first choice?
Whichever one I get into.
You mean you have no preference?
Honestly, I just grabbed
a handful of brochures
from the counselor's office.
I really didn't look at them.
Morning, sleepyhead.
Morning. What's all this?
Bailey is helping me
with my college applications
before school.
Isn't it a little late
in the year to be applying?
Yeah. I have analysis paralysis,
otherwise known as overthinking.
- Right.
- Plus a well-documented
procrastination disorder.
You know, like Elvis, Mozart,
and the "Game of Thrones" guy?
I also like to prioritize other,
more enjoyable interests.
Basically, I've been frozen
with fear about my future,
and now I find myself up against it
with time almost run out.
When is it due?
- Midnight.
- Midnight tonight?
I also need letters of recommendation.
Bailey already wrote me one,
but I was kind of hoping
that you would write me one, too.
By tonight?
Uh, well, I mean, today's gonna
be a little bit hectic.
LAPD is transferring Heath Everett
from Terminal Island
to the courthouse downtown.
That's the guy who
crashed the plane you were on
and then escaped.
Briefly escaped, yes.
And it's down to us to make
sure he doesn't do it again,
but I think we should
have him round-tripped
by late afternoon.
I can write you a letter then.
You are quite literally the best.
After Bailey.
That goes without saying.
Wesley.
- I know.
- I mean, seriously?
Contractor promised
that the new offices
would be repainted by Friday.
Which he also promised last week.
But Del Monte and I are moving
in on Monday, no matter what.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Hey. Good morning.
You know, this is ridiculous.
When I said you could
keep the ring here,
I didn't expect you
to come visit it every day.
It's not every day.
[QUIRKY TENSE MUSIC]
Fine, but I
I can't keep it at the house
and risk Lucy finding it.
Well, you can't keep it here anymore
because Emmy found it
and stuck it up her nose.
- What?
- Don't worry, I cleaned it.
OK, so [SIGHS]
what do I do with it now?
How about give it to Lucy?
You do have a plan
for the proposal, right?
I mean, I'm
I'm cycling through options.
You know, I I want the moment
to be perfect.
Given that the whole station
knows you're gonna propose,
you got a day, two tops,
before Lucy finds out.

[DOOR BUZZES]
Bomb squad just finished clearing
all ingress and egress
routes to the courthouse.
And underground access points?
Blocked, searched, and guarded.
How did the preemptive strikes go?
Metro executed them
early this morning.
We've got 20 of Everett's
known associates in custody.
Hey.
What do you think
prison feels like to a guy
whose whole life was luxury?
I mean, the bathroom
on Everett's yacht's
bigger than his prison cell.
Look, Everett did time
in the Army, OK?
He is not soft.
Plus, I will bet you anything
he does not believe
that he's gonna remain
in prison for long, so.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Wow. Lot of lawyers.
And yet,
this is just a fraction
of my legal dream team.
I'm adding new ones every day.
Like this guy.
What's your name?
Malcolm Walsh.
Right. Oh, right!
You're the guy who, uh
you got the serial killer off, right?
Alleged.
Yes, sir. Liam Glasser.
[CHUCKLES] I mean, come on.
That doesn't happen.
If I were you guys,
I would pack up my
little tents and just go.
You gotta be kidding me.
I watched you murder
a man in cold blood.
There isn't a legal team on the
planet that's gonna keep you
from spending the rest
of your life in prison
That's not why we're here.
Today is solely about
your court appearance.
Mm.
In four hours, you will be escorted
to the courthouse
for a preliminary hearing.
This will be a multi-agency
escort armed to the teeth
and prepared to vigorously deny
any attempts to free you from custody.
And if anything does go wrong,
the DOJ will immediately
seek to transfer you
to a supermax prison while
the full weight of the DOJ
and the LAPD will be brought down upon
your entire legal team for collusion.
Now, I don't expect you
to give a crap about that,
but they sure will.
This is outrageous.
If you think you can intimidate
us with this dog and pony show,
you got another thing coming.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You've mistaken this
conversation for a threat.
It is not a threat, it is a promise.
Today will go smoothly
or lawyers will start catching fists.
[CHUCKLING] Oh.
Act accordingly.
See you later.
[INDISTINCT DISTANT SHOUTING]
He's a smug bastard.
Yeah, but is it because
he's up to something
or because
he's just made of privilege?
So I would definitely
bet on the former.
I agree.
[DOOR BUZZES]
Tim, we're gonna go
alpha level on the escort.
Understood. I'll set it in motion.
- Everett?
- Yeah.
Day can't be over soon enough.
Have you ever written
a recommendation letter?
- Nope.
- Never?
Now, there are very few people
I recommend for anything,
and the beauty
of being Tim Bradford is,
people are too scared to ask.
Right.
Is that it?
Yeah.
Can I see?
She's gonna love it.
- You think?
- I do.
Just gonna put it loose
in your pocket like that?
Yeah, that box is too cumbersome.
And to be honest,
I don't trust the locker room.
Morning. Big day, huh?
Every day is a big day
in the LAPD, Penn.
[LOCKER SLAMS]
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Good morning.
Uh, sorry to just drop by unannounced.
I don't like that
you know where I live.
May I come in?
I have a business offer that
I think you might appreciate.
Close the door.
New offices will be ready next week.
Exciting.
Listen.
It's no secret
that my profile has blown up
since I got Glasser off.
In fact, I've just taken on
Heath Everett as a client.
I'm handling the state charges.
- So you came here to brag?
- No.
To make amends.
Deep down, I know that my success
is based in your misfortune.
And I'd like to try
to balance the scales.
Pass.
But thank you for your concern.
Sergeant Tim Bradford is claiming that
Everett offered up $10 million
to help him escape.
Yeah, well, he tried
to corrupt the wrong man.
Tim is as straight an arrow
as it comes.
Still, there's no evidence
to support Bradford's account.
And given the scale of
the charges against my client,
attempted bribery just seems petty.
Everett feels that
Bradford is acting like
a little bitch.
His words.
Well, I think Everett has
more to worry about
than the smallest item
on his charge sheet.
Oh, I don't disagree,
but he's a client.
He wants it dropped.
You are much better positioned
to persuade Bradford than I am.
Why would I say yes?
Lawyers need clients
and law offices aren't cheap.
[SOFT SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Look, you and I both know that
Everett is made of money
and not afraid to spend it.
You will be paid handsomely,
regardless of outcome.
♪
Hmm.
In exactly 12 hours,
I will be a graduate
of the FTO program.
I think.
What do you mean, "I think"?
Nobody else has brought it up.
Oh.
- Oh, what?
- Nothing.
- What? Celina, what?
- It's it
it's just Nolan spoke to me
about my graduation
multiple times through
the weeks leading up to it.
Well, he hasn't said a word to me.
And according to my math, the
six-month extension ends today,
so why the radio silence?
It's been crazy around here
the last few weeks.
Maybe it just fell through the cracks.
Or maybe he knows I'm gonna fail out
so he's not wasting his time.
Uh, if Nolan wanted to bounce
you, he'd just bounce you.
Unless it's not Nolan
who's planning to bounce me.
Penn, return your gear.
You're not going out today.
Juarez, you'll be riding with
Nolan in the escort convoy.
Why wouldn't I be going out?
[SIGHS] Excuse me.
Hey. Uh, why are you grounding Penn?
Uh, I'm not.
I'm reassigning him to help you.
You're the one I'm grounding
by giving you a temporary promotion.
Oh, so you're taking my
position in the escort convoy?
What can I say?
Grey wants the Super Shop.
No, seriously,
this has nothing to do with
lack of faith in you.
It's just after
everything that happened
with Everett last time,
we can't risk the task force
being caught by surprise.
OK, I get it.
You're taking everyone capable
and leaving me with the scrubs.
There are no scrubs
in the LAPD, Sergeant Chen.
But I did reassign Penn
to help bolster your roster.
- [KNOCKS]
- Got a second?
Nope.
[CHUCKLES] Don't be grumpy.
I would talk fast.
So I've been hired
to be a part of, uh,
Everett's legal team.
Just a small part
focusing on the bribery charge.
OK, what about it?
Guy tried to bribe me,
he's being charged with it
end of story.
Yeah, it's just that
there's no body cam footage
of the proffer,
so it's your word against his.
And Everett is facing
a dozen life sentences
on far more serious crimes.
I just figured we could take
this off everybody's plate.
There's no body cam
because he turned off my feed
when he tried to bribe me.
And I'm fine with this on my plate,
but if you have too much
on your plate,
maybe you shouldn't be representing
a literal war criminal.
OK, there's no need
to make this personal.
I'm just doing my job.
No, it is personal,
'cause you were hired
because we're friends
and that friendship just ended.
- Tim.
- No, you know what?
You're not even part
of the DA's office anymore,
so you don't have the
same privileges you once had
when we were fighting the same fight.
So from here on out,
you're required to go sign in
and get a visitor's badge
like everyone else.
Now get the hell out of here.
Understood.
Oh, I have a quick question
because I didn't see it in the file.
Did you fingerprint your body cam?
Just so there's proof that it
was Everett that cut the feed.
Otherwise, how's the jury gonna know
if this attempted bribe
was offered by him
or solicited by you
and rejected?
I look forward to
answering all your questions
in deposition, counselor.
Mm-hmm.
OK.

We were just kids
when we got together.
So I took her to the beach,
gave her a ring so small,
it could have came
from a Cracker Jack box.
I've seen her ring. It's huge.
A series of upgrades
over the years, my friend.
The point is,
it doesn't have to be flashy,
but it does have to be thoughtful.
Well, she does love the beach.

A giant magnet?
Yeah. Look, I was planning
to stay here and supervise.
- Um
- Oh, look. No worries.

Good, because the captain
just asked me to figure out

Of course.
OK, you know how
I put Lucy's engagement ring
in my pocket this morning?
Yeah, well, I I can't find it.
And you think you lost it here?
Well, I'm I'm hoping.
It should be pretty easy to spot.
It's it's pretty shiny.
Yeah, so is the 12 pounds
of broken glass
scattered everywhere.
Oh, right.
OK, but, uh, if it's here,
I I will find it.
Um, question, though.
Uh, technically,
if I find the ring
on the ground at a crime scene,
does that not make it, then, evidence
that needs to be bagged and tagged?
I mean, I I'd say it's a gray area.
It's not really part
of the criminality
that had transpired,
but if it ends up
in that evidence locker,
it'll be there for months,
if not years.
Right. Uh, OK, how about this?
If I find
when I find it,
I will document everything
with a whole bunch of photographs.
That way,
if it becomes an issue later,
we are at least covered.
Perfect.
Listen, I I really appreciate this.
You got it.
Oh, um, can I bring Celina
in the fold?
That would make the search
a lot easier.
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Do what you gotta do.
Just let me know
the second you find it.
Will do.
- What's going on?
- Uh, funny story.
I can't help you.
Were I in any way complicit
with Mr. Everett's actions
this morning,
I'd be subject to disbarment
and criminal charges,
and I'm too smart for that.
If you're trying to get me to violate
attorney-client privilege
by betraying protected conversations,
well, I'm gonna need a record of that.
[DEVICE BEEPS]
This is Malcolm Walsh
informing Detective Lopez
and Agent Garza that I am now
recording this conversation.
That way, when I file my lawsuit,
neither of them
would be able to walk away
with either their badge
or their pension.
Mutually assured destruction.
And what does that mean?
It means that
I've been chatting with the FBI
about the Ryan Dearborn incident.
I already told you.
I had nothing to do
with his breakdown.
He's a very sick man.
Who I believe was made sicker by you,
the same way I believed
you leaked information
about Glasser's killings
to Harrison Novak
so he could falsely confess
those crimes.
And now that Detective Lopez
has brought these
very serious allegations
to the Bureau's attention,
I have a duty to investigate,
and I promise you that
I will use every resource
at my disposal and the disposal
of the Justice Department
to get to the truth, and ooh,
will that be so very public.
Which will knock you right
back down to the minor leagues
of defense lawyers.
Or
you could help us find Everett.
I deny wholeheartedly
that there's any truth to
the detective's allegations.

Every criminal that
passes through that door
needs to be thoroughly searched
for contraband and weapons
first by the arresting officer,
and then by processing.
I know. And I did.
So then how did Bledsoe
end up with a gun
inside a holding cell?
Did you deviate from
normal pat-down procedures?
No. But he was combative.
It took two of us to control him.
So it's possible you missed a gun?
No.
I searched him thoroughly
after he was restrained.
- I did.
- So then how did this happen?
I don't know.

[TENSE SOMBER MUSIC]
♪
All right, everybody, listen up.
GPS from the drone that Nolan
and Juarez found on the bridge
shows that it launched
from the Port of Los Angeles.
Now we've connected it
to an international maritime
company, Demetrius, LLC.
They have a fleet of three dozen boats
currently operating on the West Coast.
One of which
is a decommissioned
military transport ship
that is departing imminently
from the Port of San Diego.
Now we believe that
Heath Everett is on that boat.
Satellite imagery shows at least
three dozen private soldiers
along with equipment,
vehicles and weaponry
have been loaded on board
in the last hour.
Now given Everett's deep ties
inside the DOD,
we have to assume that any effort
to go through normal channels
to coordinate a larger raid
would risk alerting them.
Therefore, we are going it alone.
Small strike force will gain
covert access onto the boat,
locate, recapture Everett,
and then get the hell out of there.
Without starting a shooting
war with a superior force.
Exactly.
How big is the boat?
Bigger than I'd like.
She's 800 feet, bow to stern.
Has four cargo decks,
three crew decks,
a bridge, and an engine room,
so it'll take a while to search.
But on the plus side,
it'll spread out their manpower
in case our little
stealth mission gets noisy.
[TENSE METAL MUSIC]
♪
What are you doing here?
Coming with. You're gonna need a medic
and I'm not taking no for an answer.
♪
Now best guess, Everett will
be staying here, level three.
It's on the upper deck.
It's where the
captain's quarters are located.
But he could be
in the officer's dining room
two decks below.
Bottom line,
we need to be prepared
to search multiple areas,
so we'll split into three teams.
Team one will cover the top decks,
team two, the cargo decks,
team three will head
to the engine room
to disable the ship.
So they can't come after us
once we leave.
Correct. Now, I wish I had
better operational intel to give you,
but if we don't get going right
now, we're gonna lose him.
Given his infinite resources,
we may never get another
opportunity to get him back.
- So any last questions?
- Yeah.
Who's buying beers when we're done?
You know, real men
don't need their wives
to do their camo makeup.
Oh, shush.
Hey. This doesn't seem real.
But it is.
The situation might be unique,
but the moves are the same.
It's tactical infil.
We search and clear rooms
the exact same way.
Communicate and coordinate
every action we take.
What are the odds we find Everett
in the first place we look?
Nonexistent.
You really aren't
a glass-half-full kind of guy,
are you?
I'm a realist.
OK, realist.
What are the odds
we even pull this thing off?
Let's get going.
Why can't you just lie?

Female officer coming in.
So what's the verdict?
Sit down.
So I scrubbed through 32 hours
of security video.
I can tell you for a fact
that the gun in question
belonged to one Moses Foley.
Who's Moses Foley?
A small-time stickup man.
Officer Wingate from night shift
brought him in for trespassing.
Both he and Officer Samuels
in processing claim
that they searched Foley,
but both of them failed
to find a weapon in his boot.
He didn't want to get
pinched at the courthouse
for his arraignment, so
he ditched the gun in the cell.
And that is where Bledsoe found it
and made a bad decision
to use it to try and escape.
Both officers are
on administrative leave,
pending a full investigation.
Wait, w-what about me?
You are in the clear.
Is is that it?
What, you want an apology
or something?
No, ma'am.
I guess I'm
I'm just relieved
none of this was my fault.
Correct.
Good job handling
a dangerous situation.
Now go home.
Tomorrow's another day.
As a rookie?
The thing is I thought
this was my graduation day.
I counted the
six-month probation and
Did you count the time
that you were in specialized training
for crisis management
and de-escalation?
No, I thought that all went towards
It does not.
You still have about
three weeks left as a rookie.
Although given how

Tim is as straight an arrow

Still, there's no evidence

attempted bribery just seems petty.
Everett feels that
Bradford is acting like

Well, I think Everett has
more to worry about
than the smallest item
on his charge sheet.
Oh, I don't disagree,

on your plate,
maybe you shouldn't be representing
a literal war criminal.
OK, there's no need
to make this personal.
I'm just doing my job.
No, it is personal,
'cause you were hired
because we're friends

You're not even part

same privileges you once had

Oh, I have a quick question
because I didn't see it in the file.
Did you fingerprint your body cam?
Just so there's proof that it
was Everett that cut the feed.

No. But he was combative.

All right, everybody, listen up.
GPS from the drone that Nolan
and Juarez found on the bridge
shows that it launched
from the Port of Los Angeles.
Now we've connected it
to an international maritime
company, Demetrius, LLC.
They have a fleet of three dozen boats
currently operating on the West Coast.
One of which
is a decommissioned
military transport ship
that is departing imminently
from the Port of San Diego.
Now we believe that
Heath Everett is on that boat.
Satellite imagery shows at least
three dozen private soldiers
along with equipment,
vehicles and weaponry
have been loaded on board
in the last hour.
Now given Everett's deep ties
inside the DOD,
we have to assume that any effort
to go through normal channels
to coordinate a larger raid
would risk alerting them.
Therefore, we are going it alone.
Small strike force will gain
covert access onto the boat,
locate, recapture Everett,
and then get the hell out of there.
Without starting a shooting
war with a superior force.
Exactly.
How big is the boat?
Bigger than I'd like.
She's 800 feet, bow to stern.
Has four cargo decks,
three crew decks,
a bridge, and an engine room,
so it'll take a while to search.
But on the plus side,
it'll spread out their manpower
in case our little
stealth mission gets noisy.
[TENSE METAL MUSIC]
♪
What are you doing here?
Coming with. You're gonna need a medic
and I'm not taking no for an answer.
♪
Now best guess, Everett will
be staying here, level three.
It's on the upper deck.
It's where the
captain's quarters are located.
But he could be
in the officer's dining room
two decks below.
Bottom line,
we need to be prepared
to search multiple areas,
so we'll split into three teams.
Team one will cover the top decks,
team two, the cargo decks,
team three will head
to the engine room
to disable the ship.
So they can't come after us
once we leave.
Correct. Now, I wish I had
better operational intel to give you,
but if we don't get going right
now, we're gonna lose him.
Given his infinite resources,
we may never get another
opportunity to get him back.
- So any last questions?
- Yeah.
Who's buying beers when we're done?
You know, real men
don't need their wives
to do their camo makeup.
Oh, shush.
Hey. This doesn't seem real.
But it is.
The situation might be unique,
but the moves are the same.
It's tactical infil.
We search and clear rooms
the exact same way.
Communicate and coordinate
every action we take.
What are the odds we find Everett
in the first place we look?
Nonexistent.
You really aren't
a glass-half-full kind of guy,
are you?
I'm a realist.
OK, realist.
What are the odds
we even pull this thing off?
Let's get going.

Female officer coming in.
So what's the verdict?
Sit down.
So I scrubbed through 32 hours
of security video.
I can tell you for a fact
that the gun in question
belonged to one Moses Foley.
Who's Moses Foley?
A small-time stickup man.
Officer Wingate from night shift
brought him in for trespassing.
Both he and Officer Samuels
in processing claim
that they searched Foley,
but both of them failed
to find a weapon in his boot.
He didn't want to get
pinched at the courthouse
for his arraignment, so
he ditched the gun in the cell.
And that is where Bledsoe found it
and made a bad decision
to use it to try and escape.
Both officers are
on administrative leave,
pending a full investigation.
Wait, w-what about me?
You are in the clear.
Is is that it?
What, you want an apology
or something?
