00:01Previously on The Rookie.
00:02Hey, get back!
00:03Sam!
00:04No, Chris!
00:05No sign of the suspects?
00:06No, but we did recover his weapon.
00:07Wait a minute.
00:08There's supposed to be a gun.
00:09Officer Aaron Cole never switched her camera on during the raid.
00:11Armstrong!
00:12No!
00:13Armstrong!
00:14She said his name before she saw him.
00:16You did good, my friend.
00:17Very good.
00:18Do you realize what you are accusing him of?
00:19But if I'm right, he's betraying everything we stand for.
00:22So we gather more evidence.
00:23Not enough.
00:24We gotta trip him up somehow.
00:25We gotta get into his head.
00:26Tell me what you know about Armstrong.
00:27A hidden compartment in the laundry room wall.
00:30You broke into my house to kill me because I found out you were dirty.
00:33No one's gonna believe that.
00:34I won't be the only one saying it.
00:35There's another cop on my payroll.
00:36John Nolan.
00:39Control, this is Officer Nolan.
00:40You don't have time for that, John.
00:42You gotta go.
00:43Or they're gonna find us.
00:44The evidence in your house.
01:00Sir, it's a setup.
01:01Nick Armstrong's on his way to the hospital.
01:16Says you tried to kill him.
01:17Says you're on the Darien's payroll.
01:19It's a lie.
01:20Nick's the one who's the dirty cop.
01:21He murdered Aaron Cole.
01:22He's setting me up.
01:23Okay, okay.
01:25Let us inside so we can take a look around.
01:28You and I can talk.
01:29Do you have a warrant?
01:31Nolan, you do not wanna play things this way.
01:34Actually, sir, this is exactly how you want me to play things.
01:37Two cops are dead and a third one is a murderer.
01:39We're both gonna be under the microscope on this.
01:42So we need to play this exactly by the book, which is why.
01:45You need a warrant and I need to call a lawyer.
01:53Warrant's in process.
01:55Sit tight.
01:56Do not make this worse for yourself.
01:58Hey, Nolan, what's up?
02:15Is Angela okay?
02:16Yeah, no.
02:17I'm not calling about her.
02:18Wesley, I need you.
02:19I need your help.
02:20I have to hire you.
02:21Yeah, of course.
02:23Hey, tell me what's happening.
02:24Nick Armstrong is framing me.
02:26He murdered Aaron Cole.
02:28He planted evidence in my house,
02:29which is now surrounded by cops.
02:30I told Gray he needs a warrant to come in.
02:32You were right to demand the warrant.
02:34My job is to keep them from getting it.
02:35Judge Paloma is the on-call judge tonight.
02:38It's ten minutes from my house.
02:39Is the evidence that Nick planted easily found?
02:41Yeah, he wasn't very subtle.
02:43All right.
02:44Look, this is what I need you to do.
02:50Worsley.
02:53Worsley, are you there?
02:55Uh...
02:56Yeah.
02:57Yeah.
02:58Yeah.
02:59Uh...
03:00Listen.
03:01What I need you to do is bag the evidence.
03:02Hide it somewhere else.
03:03Somewhere it won't easily be found.
03:04I can't tamper with the evidence.
03:05No, you won't be.
03:06Legally, we'll argue that with knowledge of at least two dirty cops,
03:08you had no choice but to secure the evidence until you knew it was going to be safe.
03:10Well, that might fly in court, but I could lose my job.
03:11Forget about your job, Nolan.
03:12I'm trying to keep you out of prison.
03:13You here for Nolan?
03:14Yeah, he called me.
03:15This is just a signature and a search warrant.
03:16There's nothing for you to do here, go home.
03:17Clearly, I've never seen me in a probable cause here.
03:18It was, um...
03:19Everything all right?
03:20Everything all right?
03:21No.
03:22Everything is a deal.
03:23I'm trying to keep you out of prison.
03:24I'm trying to keep you out of prison.
03:35You here for Nolan?
03:36Yeah, he called me.
03:37This is just a signature and a search warrant.
03:39There's nothing for you to do here, go home.
03:41Clearly, I've never seen me in a probable cause here.
03:44Is, um...
03:47Everything all right?
03:48No.
03:49Everything is a dumpster fire.
03:50Two cops are dead, and I'm here to get a warrant on a friend of mine.
03:53Is there anything else bothering you?
03:56Oh, boy.
03:58And I was having such a lovely dream.
04:01Okay.
04:02Let's make this quick.
04:03Raise your right hand and repeat after me.
04:05Hey!
04:06You gotta get Nolan.
04:09Did you arrest him?
04:11Is he in custody?
04:12Not yet.
04:13We shouldn't talk about this.
04:14I know you're friends, but Nolan's a killer.
04:15You can't trust him.
04:16You hear me?
04:17Yes, sir.
04:18I hear you.
04:19Jackson.
04:20Dad.
04:21How is he?
04:22The bullet went straight through.
04:23Doesn't seem like he hit anything vital, but he's definitely gonna do surgery.
04:25What did he say to you?
04:26Same thing he said at the scene.
04:28Nolan tried to kill him after admitting that there was damning evidence hidden at his house.
04:31I'm sorry.
04:32Like, I don't believe it.
04:33I mean, Nolan's a great cop.
04:34Best of us.
04:36So is Armstrong.
04:38Stop.
04:39Stop.
04:40Your job is to collect facts right now, not form opinions.
04:43Understood?
04:44Yeah.
04:45I'm sorry.
04:46It's been a horrible few days, Chris's death, and now this.
04:49It's easy to lose focus, but that's exactly why it's vital that we don't.
04:53I need you to stay here and keep an eye on Armstrong once I'm gone.
04:57Report back on everything he says.
04:59Yes, sir.
05:00I won't let you down.
05:02Good.
05:08Commander.
05:09We don't have to talk now, but when we do, you have the right to have a union rep present.
05:13I don't need a rep.
05:14I need protection.
05:15From who?
05:16Harper.
05:17She's in order too.
05:39Nolan, what the hell is going on?
05:41Harper, I really stepped in.
05:43Armstrong lured me to his place.
05:45Made me think it was to confess, but it was a set up.
05:47He planted evidence in my house.
05:48Why the hell didn't you call me before you went?
05:51Please tell me you at least taped the conversation.
05:54Yeah, that would have been smart.
05:55Well, that would explain why there are cops at my front door.
05:58Armstrong needs to frame both of us in order for this to work.
06:01You break into your house too?
06:02No.
06:03My security system would have nuked him.
06:05I should really invest in one of those.
06:06Yep.
06:07It's a little late for that.
06:08I am really sorry, Nyla.
06:10Yeah, and I am really looking forward to yelling at you when we are on the other side of this.
06:15I think you mean if.
06:19Be smart, Nolan.
06:20It only gets bumpier from here.
06:23Let's go.
06:25Try not to make a mess.
06:26There's a gun safe in the hall closet.
06:28Keys are here.
06:29Lock up when you're done.
06:31Can we go under the station?
06:32No.
06:33Internal Affairs.
06:35Is this right?
06:36I'm afraid so.
06:37Your Honor, may I see the state's probable cause affidavit?
06:40Care to cite?
06:411538.5 PC in Theodore.
06:43Your Honor, I would object under evidence code 1040 through 1042 on the grounds that it may unnecessarily reveal information sources and investigative tactics.
06:52Well, given that the subject of the search is a police officer familiar with investigative tactics, evidence code section 1040 should not apply.
07:01Respectfully.
07:02What exactly are the charges the state is considering against Officer Nolan?
07:05Well, for starters, assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder of a peace officer, and conspiracy.
07:10Clearly an act of self-defense.
07:13Detective Armstrong lured Officer Nolan to his house, pulled a weapon, and fired.
07:17Now, Officer Nolan returned fire in self-defense.
07:20And no physical evidence listed here asserts otherwise.
07:22Sadly, Your Honor, an informant has corroborated Detective Armstrong's account.
07:26In a sworn statement, he identified Officer Nolan as working with the Darien crime family.
07:31Um, but their informant has not been certified tested or reliable.
07:35And with personal jeopardy as a murder suspect in this very case, his account can hardly be considered credible without cross-examination.
07:46The state makes the case corruption exists within the division.
07:50Officer Nolan is connected to that.
07:51And there is imminent threat to the destruction of evidence without expedient action.
08:00Aren't you two married?
08:02Almost.
08:03Good luck.
08:04Good luck.
08:05And good night.
08:09You did great back there.
08:10Thanks.
08:11You didn't make it easy.
08:13Wesley, tell Nolan I'm rooting for him.
08:21Sergeant, Judge Paloma signed the warrant at 0319 hours, endorsed for night service.
08:26You're green and go.
08:27Please be careful.
08:29Nolan, you're out of time.
08:30They're coming in.
08:31Don't resist.
08:32Don't say anything.
08:33We'll meet you at the station.
08:34Don't say anything.
08:35We'll meet you at the station.
08:36Don't say anything.
08:37Don't say anything.
08:38We'll meet you at the station.
08:39We'll meet you by the station.
08:40We'll meet me at the station.
08:41We'll meet you at the station.
08:42We'll meet you at the station.
08:43We'll meet you at the station.
08:44We'll meet you at the station.
08:58A864 vertexes, from South Milwaukee.
09:00New Kilburg, 950 señora.
09:01Put your hands behind your back.
09:04Yes, sir.
09:05Am I under arrest?
09:07Not yet.
09:09We gotta do everything by the book.
09:11Let's go.
09:16Please tell me that Armstrong has got cops all over him.
09:19Yeah, I can't do that. You know why.
09:21Come on.
09:21You cannot believe that Nolan is dirty.
09:24We don't, Jen.
09:25I gather from here.
09:28Head to Nolan's. Assistant's search.
09:29Yes, sir.
09:30Sergeant?
09:32Um...
09:35Never mind.
09:39Sir.
09:40Save it for upstairs.
09:42Nolan, do you understand?
09:44Nolan.
09:46What?
09:47Technically, you're not under arrest.
09:49You're cooperating.
09:50But once you're not free to leave beyond a brief detention,
09:53that constitutes an arrest and starts the clock.
09:55DA will have 72 hours to present the case against you.
09:57Yeah, I know that.
09:59Of course.
10:02But I also know that you're in shock, and I need you to focus.
10:05If convicted, you're looking at 25 years, which is why you need to let me do all the talking.
10:09One mistake, one ill-chosen word, and you're going to prison.
10:12We don't have to play it like that. The truth is on my side.
10:14And you think that means something?
10:17If you were any other defendant...
10:19What?
10:20Never mind.
10:20No, I want to know. If I was any other defendant, what?
10:22You are a white man.
10:27A cop.
10:28You have already been treated with a level of deference my other clients would never get.
10:31If you were black or brown, the police would have created exigent circumstances and kicked the door in.
10:37Shot you if they thought you reacted aggressively.
10:41Arrested you if you surrendered.
10:42Confident that the DA would bully you into a plea deal.
10:44That's not fair.
10:45I'm not that kind of cop. Neither is Gray.
10:47You're telling me you've never bent the rules?
10:50Not like that.
10:54Look, you have a chance to survive this because of who you are.
10:58But only if you do exactly what I say.
11:02Can you handle that?
11:05It's been alleged that the Darien crime family recruited you during your tenure as an undercover operative.
11:11In exchange for money and concealing your identity, you provided sensitive police intelligence, which helped them avoid prosecution.
11:19Now, is there any truth to this? Any bit at all?
11:22Absolutely not, sir. That is Armstrong's truth. He did those things.
11:26And he's using me and Nolan to cover his tracks.
11:30Detective Armstrong has an unblemished record here in this department.
11:35So I'm going to need to see some pretty serious evidence to substantiate that.
11:40Yes, sir.
11:41We have body cam and dash cam video that shows Armstrong making a series of texts at critical moments during the hunt for Officer Rios' killer.
11:48It was Armstrong who redirected Nolan into booking the murder weapon into evidence so that Aaron Cole could steal the gun from Nolan's shop.
11:56Look, you can see here, Armstrong hands her a note.
11:59Do you have that note?
12:01No, sir.
12:02Then how can you know what was on it?
12:03I can't know for sure, but I...
12:05Armstrong says that you and Nolan lured him to the oil fields under false pretenses, planning to kill him because he was onto you.
12:13That's another lie.
12:14We were trying to identify the burner phone number he was using in hopes of getting our hands on his call and text records.
12:20And did you get any?
12:21No.
12:22I mean, we did identify the phone number, but the phone had just been activated that morning.
12:27Which is when we decided that Officer Nolan should go speak with Rosalind Dyer in prison.
12:33What?
12:34Why?
12:34We figured she would have some sort of insight into his criminality.
12:37She also tried to have Armstrong murdered a few months ago, which makes it believable that Nolan went to her to conspire with her.
12:44No.
12:44No, that is not what happened.
12:46Look, this is Nolan's body cam from when Armstrong shot Aaron Cole.
12:49You can clearly see that she says his name before she sees him.
12:53Why didn't you come forward with Officer Nolan's suspicions prior to taking investigative action on your own?
12:59Why didn't you instruct your trainee to trust the system?
13:03I can see now that I made a mistake.
13:06But at the time, I did not think that it was in the department's best interest to disparage a fellow officer without additional evidence.
13:13That is not your damn job!
13:16What does the placard say on my desk?
13:19Commander Internal Affairs.
13:21This office is the only investigative unit required by the California Constitution.
13:28Do you know why?
13:29Because police officers are infused with the power of the state.
13:33The power to take a life in pursuit of justice.
13:37Power that is all too easily abused.
13:41And yet at every turn, cops like you look at us like the enemy, the rat squad.
13:46How the hell do you expect me to root out problem cops when I'm sabotaged at every turn?
13:56We are going to tear your life apart, detective.
13:59And if we find as much as a typo in the statement you're about to write, you won't be a cop anymore.
14:06We should be tearing Armstrong's house apart, not Nolan's.
14:13Relax, Pooh.
14:14We're doing both.
14:15We have a job to do.
14:16We can't play favorites.
14:17There is no way that Harper and Nolan are dirty.
14:19Three days ago, you just said the same thing about Aaron Cole.
14:22Sure, but I know Nolan a hell of a lot better than I knew Aaron, and so do you.
14:26He's got the strongest moral compass of us all.
14:29Maybe.
14:30Or maybe that's only who he is when it's easy.
14:32Look, at the end of the day, we only think we know other people.
14:35I learned that the hard way.
14:37What time is it?
14:49Time for another fresca.
14:50What's going on?
14:51Not much, really.
14:53General Hospital's on in a few.
14:54No.
14:56With Nolan.
14:58Oh, he's in custody, getting the full cavity search from I.A.
15:01You know, I never trusted that guy.
15:03Nobody's that nice.
15:04They find anything at his house?
15:06What?
15:06You're awake.
15:07You're supposed to text me.
15:08Well, he's filling me in.
15:09It's not really his job.
15:12As long as we're talking, can I ask you a question?
15:15Yeah, of course.
15:16Look, you said that Nolan came to your house to kill you.
15:20Yeah.
15:20But first, he told you about a bunch of evidence hidden at his place.
15:24Why would he waste time doing that?
15:26Nolan's a talker.
15:28You know him.
15:29Yeah, I do.
15:30But he's not a boaster, and he's definitely not stupid.
15:33You accusing me of something, Boop?
15:39No, sir.
15:41Just trying to wrap my brain around this.
15:45Huh.
15:46I get it.
15:48I get it.
15:50We all feel betrayed.
15:53It's heartbreaking to find out that somebody you cared about isn't who you think they are.
15:58I mean...
15:59I'm sorry.
16:03I gotta close my eyes.
16:04That surgery took it out of me.
16:05I'm just...
16:06Sure thing.
16:08We'll be right outside.
16:09Yeah.
16:11It's me.
16:11Find anything?
16:27Not yet.
16:27Maybe there's nothing to find.
16:29Or maybe Nolan was trained to know where cops would look.
16:31Hell, he built this place up from the studs.
16:33Probably designed a hidey hole we'll never find.
16:35Did we do all this?
16:36Grace had the walls ripped apart before he came in.
16:38Why would Nolan do that?
16:40Don't know, don't care.
16:41No, think about it.
16:42Armstrong insists that Nolan tried to kill him.
16:44But then why did Nolan leave before the job was done?
16:46Why rush back here and tear the walls up?
16:48I'll tell you why.
16:50It's because he's looking for the evidence, too.
16:52Bradford.
16:56You see, now that's a proper hidey hole.
16:58For a civilian.
17:00You just got done saying Nolan would build something we'd never find.
17:03Maybe I overestimated the guy.
17:04No.
17:05Look, Nolan's a lot of things, but he's not sloppy.
17:08He comes in here, desperate, rips open the walls,
17:12ends up in the bedroom, finds the opening behind the bed
17:15filled with whatever Armstrong hid in there.
17:18And then what?
17:19And then...
17:20You don't think that's random garbage, do you?
17:41No, that's Nolan being smart.
17:43He knew he'd find the goods, so he chucked him down the hill.
17:44Our warrant is for Nolan's property, not the neighbor's,
17:47so if we open that bag without a Stiegald warrant,
17:49anything we find in there will be inadmissible.
17:51Exactly.
17:52So let's go get that warrant.
17:53Go for it, but it's a waste of time.
17:57What?
17:57Look, that is not the evidence.
17:59Nolan wouldn't jeopardize evidence by throwing it down a hill
18:02where it could be damaged or destroyed.
18:04If I'm right and he's innocent,
18:05then that means the real evidence is hidden somewhere in this house.
18:09That bag is just a fake-out meant to buy him some time.
18:12Time for what?
18:12To talk his way out of this.
18:14Just remember, don't say a word.
18:16I'll do all the taco.
18:20We'll be making our own recording of this interview,
18:23as is our right.
18:24Further, I'm exercising our right to identify everyone monitoring.
18:27Very well.
18:28I'm Commander Percy West of the Internal Affairs Unit.
18:30Behind me in observation is Sergeant Wade Gray
18:33and Assistant District Attorney Luca Bravin.
18:36First of all, I'm...
18:37Oh, no.
18:38It doesn't work that way.
18:39Officer Nolan, per Government Code 3300 and Liebarger,
18:43I am required to advise that you do not have the right to remain silent.
18:48Anything you say can and will be used against you.
18:51Refusal to fully and completely answer all of my questions
18:55will result in your immediate termination
18:57and referral to the District Attorney for Prosecution.
19:01Do you understand?
19:02Yes.
19:03Having received the Liebarger warning,
19:06do you give up your right to remain silent
19:08and will you honestly and without reservation
19:10answer all of my questions?
19:12Commander, my client has no intention of answering.
19:15Yes.
19:15Yes.
19:16I'll answer all of your questions.
19:17Honestly, completely, and without reservation.
19:19No.
19:20He won't.
19:21Not another one.
19:22I have to do this.
19:24No matter the consequences.
19:25If everything you just said is true,
19:34then why did you flee the scene?
19:36I object to that characterization.
19:38Officer Nolan left Armstrong's house
19:39because he was in fear for his life.
19:41Is that true?
19:42Not completely.
19:43John?
19:43I left Armstrong's
19:45after he told me he had hidden incriminating evidence at my house.
19:49Honestly, I panicked.
19:50Rosalind got into my head at the prison.
19:52She gave me slim odds at survival against Armstrong
19:56because he was smarter than me
19:58and more ruthless.
20:00And she was right.
20:02I never saw the frame coming.
20:04Where's the evidence Armstrong planning?
20:07It's in the water heater.
20:09I'll lock it open.
20:11I told you so.
20:16We got police files, a couple pistols, and a bunch of cash.
20:19All right.
20:19CSU will process it.
20:21If there's as much as a single DNA strand
20:23from Armstrong on it,
20:25we'll know he's involved.
20:26You up for another assignment?
20:27Whatever you need.
20:28Drive up to Chowchilla
20:29and retrieve the security footage
20:31of Nolan's meeting with Rosalind Dyer yesterday.
20:35Sir, I'm not sure we're the right team
20:37for that assignment,
20:38given Chen's history with Rosalind Dyer.
20:39What assignment?
20:41It was to get the surveillance tape
20:43from Nolan's meeting with Rosalind yesterday.
20:44What the hell was he doing meeting with Rosalind?
20:46It's your call, Bradford.
20:47You're her T.O.
20:48I trust your judgment.
20:50Tim, it's not a problem.
20:56Okay.
20:56We can handle it.
20:59Sir, good intentions aside,
21:01I know I made a mess of this.
21:02You have to let me try and fix it.
21:03You can't.
21:04Even if everything you told me is true
21:06and Detective Armstrong is guilty as sin,
21:09your actions might very well have allowed him
21:12to muddy the waters enough to escape punishment.
21:14Yes, sir.
21:14I understand.
21:15And that'll be my burden to bear.
21:16But right now,
21:17we have bigger fish than Armstrong.
21:18Ruben Darien has been laughing
21:20at this department for years.
21:22Because of him, two cops are dead.
21:24He has to pay for that.
21:25And I can make it happen.
21:27Let me wear a wire.
21:28No.
21:29Look, it's not as crazy as it sounds.
21:31Yes, it is.
21:32Okay, listen, just...
21:33Ruben Darien is used to playing with loaded dice.
21:36He's always a step ahead of us
21:37because Armstrong's been feeding him intel.
21:39But now, for the first time,
21:41he's flying blind.
21:42He's got to be desperate to know what's going on,
21:45whether the frame on me is working,
21:47whether Armstrong is flipped.
21:48And why would he listen to you?
21:49I'm the only guy more desperate than he is.
21:51Look, Armstrong is burned in this department,
21:53no matter what.
21:54But if Ruben can get Surge to admit to the frame,
21:57I'm redeemed.
21:58I can stay on the job.
22:00Ruben will see the value in that.
22:02He'll have a new mall
22:02with another 20 years left on the job.
22:0615 minutes.
22:06We're done.
22:07Officer Nolman.
22:10He just saved your life.
22:12The odds of Ruben buying your act
22:13are slim to none.
22:14He wouldn't have to buy it.
22:16Meeting alone would constitute
22:17conspiracy.
22:19And if he shoots you on sight?
22:21And the D.A. couldn't end up a capital murder.
22:25Sir.
22:28Sergeant.
22:29I know I can't undo the mistakes I've made,
22:32but I can help make things right.
22:35No matter what it costs me.
22:44You are, without a doubt,
22:46the biggest pain in my ass I've suffered
22:48in 25 years on the job.
22:50Is that a yes?
22:52Vice has a C.I. in the Darien organization.
22:54He works at one of their karaoke bars.
22:57We can use him to spin Ruben,
22:59giving you a fighting chance
23:00to convince the Darien's
23:01that you're desperate to make a deal.
23:05I quit.
23:15Hey.
23:16How's it going?
23:19Uh,
23:20my client just staged a mutiny.
23:22Now he's trying to get himself killed.
23:23Can we talk?
23:24I can't.
23:25I'm retracing Armstrong's movements for I...
23:26Wesley?
23:31You know I peed on that, right?
23:32Angela.
23:33I'm just saying,
23:34you might want to wash your hands.
23:35Angela.
23:36Why didn't you tell me?
23:37What do you think?
23:38I mean, you don't want to have a kid?
23:42This isn't how it was supposed to go.
23:45I wanted the story of a wedding
23:46and the honeymoon that we never forget.
23:50I wanted the romance before the responsibility.
23:54I wanted to be ready.
23:56We can still have all of that.
23:58No, we can't.
23:59It won't be the same.
24:00No.
24:00No.
24:00Not all of it.
24:07But here's what will be the same.
24:09You are going to look beautiful in your dress.
24:11And I will cry
24:12when I see you walking down the aisle
24:14and you'll make fun of me for it
24:15for the rest of our lives.
24:17No, I won't.
24:18Yeah, I will.
24:22This is our path, Angela.
24:24And it is not the one that we thought
24:25we were on yesterday,
24:26but we are still on it together.
24:28I promise.
24:29When we look back at this moment,
24:32it will feel like the gift that it is.
24:35You say that now,
24:36but once the hormones kick in,
24:37you're in for a rough ride.
24:38Bring it on.
24:40This is the part where you kiss me.
24:42I would, but I'm feeling super puky right now,
24:44so rain check.
24:56What kind of a prison doesn't have audio
24:58on their surveillance camera?
24:59Sound costs money.
25:00I'll head back to the shop
25:01while I go get a statement from Roslyn.
25:03What?
25:04No way.
25:04It's for your own good.
25:05You have a personal connection.
25:06So do you.
25:07It's not the same.
25:08If I can't handle talking to Roslyn
25:09while she's in a cage,
25:10I shouldn't be a cop.
25:16A few questions to ask you.
25:18Shouldn't take long.
25:19Hmm.
25:19This is about John, isn't it?
25:21We know you talked to him
25:22about Armstrong yesterday.
25:23Can you describe the content
25:24of that conversation?
25:26You know, I am so impressed with you.
25:30The way you handled what was obviously
25:31a very traumatic experience.
25:35It's inspiring.
25:36Thanks.
25:37That means a lot coming from you.
25:39Well, you're so defiant.
25:42All right, let's stick to Nolan.
25:44Just like you were
25:45when the lid came down
25:46in that barrel.
25:47You must have driven Caleb crazy,
25:50denying him the fear
25:51he so desperately wanted
25:52to see in you.
25:55How do I know that?
26:01You think the camera
26:02in the barrel was for Caleb?
26:04Don't listen to her, Chin.
26:04She's just playing mind games.
26:05Oh, I am totally playing mind games.
26:08But I'm not lying.
26:09Stars shining bright above you
26:14Night breezes seem to whisper
26:19I love you
26:20Birds singing in the sycamore tree
26:24Knock it off.
26:26Ah.
26:27The fierce protector.
26:29We're done here.
26:30Let's go.
26:31We'll have IA follow-up.
26:34Armstrong's lasted this long
26:35because his contingency plans
26:37have contingencies.
26:39Whatever you've already found,
26:40there's more.
26:42What did she mean by that?
26:44Armstrong's prepared to run.
26:45He's got to go back
26:46hidden somewhere.
26:48Lopez, I got something
26:49for you to chase down.
26:51So we have to assume
26:52the Darians are watching
26:53the station,
26:54so you'll be on your own
26:55the second you leave.
26:57I heard a whisper.
26:58He all wore up to something
26:58I wanted.
26:59Forget it.
27:00You are still under
27:00active investigation.
27:02And before you say
27:03so's Nolan,
27:03there's no operation without him,
27:05which is the only reason
27:06why he's involved.
27:07Understood?
27:08Yes, sir.
27:09Good, then take a walk.
27:11We will monitor you
27:13through audio bugs
27:14and GPS.
27:14You have to believe the lie
27:15or else you can't sell it.
27:17Ruben needs to feel
27:18like you are desperate enough
27:19to betray everything
27:20you care about.
27:21That shouldn't be too hard
27:22to sell.
27:22Anything else?
27:23Be careful.
27:25But not too careful.
27:27Undercover is all about offense,
27:29even when you are
27:29playing defense.
27:30Are you done?
27:31Yes.
27:33No, no.
27:34Don't be afraid
27:36to pull the ripcord, okay?
27:38Arresting Ruben Darien
27:39is not worth your life.
27:41Now I'm done.
27:43Are you ready to do this?
27:46Yes, sir.
27:46We have some breaking news
27:48in the recent scandal
27:49rocking the LAPD.
27:51A source inside the department
27:52tells KZYO
27:53that Officer John Nolan,
27:55a rookie in the
27:56Mid-Wolshire Division,
27:57has been suspended
27:58without pay
27:59and it appears
28:00that criminal charges
28:01will be filed
28:01at any moment.
28:19Who is this?
28:20It's John Nolan.
28:21I'm hanging up.
28:22Wait.
28:25If you don't help me,
28:26I'm a dead man.
28:26I'll do anything.
28:27I'll keep your phone on.
28:32We're in business.
28:348500 team.
28:35Subject's in play.
28:40Lopez, what's up?
28:41Just cementing
28:42Armstrong's timeline.
28:43The good news
28:44is that his cell phone GPS
28:45puts him at Nolan's house
28:46for over an hour yesterday.
28:47That's about how long
28:48it would take
28:48to cut a hole in the wall
28:49and plant evidence.
28:51Yes, sir.
28:52Good job.
28:52Where are you at now?
28:53Cemetery.
28:54Armstrong spent 31 minutes
28:56here after he left Nolan.
28:57They're probably saying
28:58goodbye to his wife
28:58just in case things
28:59went sideways.
29:00That's what I thought.
29:01But then Tim called.
29:02Word is that Armstrong
29:03has a go-bag hidden somewhere.
29:05Wait a minute.
29:05You don't think...
29:06That he buried the bag
29:07on top of his wife's coffin?
29:08No.
29:09But I'm gonna do
29:09some digging anyway.
29:10Found it.
29:24What the hell was that?
29:34Nothing.
29:40It's been three hours
29:42long before we give up.
29:44Patience is a virtue,
29:45Officer Nolan.
29:46Yes, sir.
29:51Here we go.
29:53This is Nolan.
29:54Hudson Avenue, 12th Street.
29:55Ten minutes.
29:56A second late
29:57and we're gone.
29:59We're green and go.
30:00I repeat,
30:01we are green and go.
30:11I just landed.
30:1320 seconds to spare,
30:14no one in sight.
30:15We're in place.
30:16We're watching on the drone.
30:18Get ready, Nolan.
30:19Black SUV coming your way.
30:20I see it.
30:23Going dark.
30:28Strip.
30:30What?
30:30Clothes off.
30:31Shoes too.
30:32Let's go.
30:38You're stripping them
30:39with all the bugs.
30:44Seriously?
30:45You want to roll
30:45in your underwear?
30:47Should we pull the plug, sir?
30:49Negative.
30:50Hold position.
30:56For your head.
30:57No way.
30:57No hood, no go.
31:02I suppose you watch this
31:03after the last guy.
31:04Get in the car.
31:07All units,
31:08hold position.
31:09They'll be watching
31:09for movement.
31:10Throne operator.
31:11Do not lose them.
31:12Roger that.
31:12I have a call for you
31:31at the nurse's station,
31:33Sergeant Gray.
31:33Boss is calling.
31:35Probably to sing
31:36my praises.
31:49Hello?
31:51Hello, Nicholas.
31:52How's the gunshot wound?
32:00I'll survive.
32:01I'll survive.
32:03I'm not so sure
32:03about that.
32:05You have made
32:06quite a mess.
32:07You can't really believe
32:08that your slapdash frame job
32:10of Nolan
32:10is going to hold up.
32:11Still got a couple cards
32:12up my sleeve.
32:13Not anymore.
32:14You see,
32:15I've been turning
32:15those cards over for you.
32:17Who do you think
32:18told John
32:19about your little
32:19hidey hole?
32:20And now I've told them
32:22about your go bag.
32:23You're out of moves, Nick.
32:25Enjoy prison.
32:34Heads up.
32:35Loosing visuals.
32:36They're going in a tunnel.
32:37Moving to the other side
32:38to intercept.
32:38Let's tighten up.
32:39We need eyes on ASAP.
32:42You sure he said gray?
32:44Positive.
32:45Sweetie.
32:45What are you...
32:54Target reacquired.
32:57Sergeant Armstrong
32:57slipped his detail
32:58at the hospital.
32:59He's gone.
33:00All units,
33:00we need to get Nolan
33:01out now.
33:11Show me your hands!
33:12Show me your hands!
33:13What about your window?
33:14Get your window down.
33:19Nolan's out of the pocket.
33:21They must have switched
33:21him out in the tunnel.
33:24You wanted to talk?
33:52So talk.
33:53But maybe first
33:54explain to me
33:54the surveillance team
33:56that was following you.
33:56That's your fault.
33:58You didn't give me
33:58any time to lose a tail.
33:59What kind of sloppy
34:00protocols is Armstrong
34:01teaching you?
34:02Why don't you
34:02ask him yourself?
34:08It was a nice play,
34:10Nolan.
34:10It was a nice play.
34:12And it might have worked
34:12had I not called Ruben
34:13and told me you were
34:14way too much of a boy scout
34:16to ever sell your soul.
34:19Want to do the honors?
34:20It'd actually be my pleasure.
34:25Careful.
34:26Last time you tried this,
34:27you missed.
34:27Yeah, I made it
34:28too complicated.
34:29Having to pull the gun,
34:31flip the chair.
34:32This is going to be
34:33much simpler.
34:35I'd ask for last words,
34:36but I'm sick of hearing
34:38your voice.
34:39Wait!
34:39What the...
34:42What the fuck?
34:55What the fuck?
35:08What the fuck?
35:09He's dead?
35:38Drop the gun!
35:39Now! On the ground!
35:41Right now.
35:45Take out your phone.
35:46Dial 911, put it on speaker, place it next to your gun.
35:52911, what's your emergency?
35:54This is Officer John Nolan, badge number 25253.
35:58I have multiple suspects in custody requesting backup and ambulances, plural.
36:02One victim, multiple gunshot wounds.
36:05Status unknown. Now take off your clothes.
36:07Excuse me?
36:08Not you.
36:08Strip now.
36:23Gunshot victim unconscious, not breathing.
36:25I'll make this quick.
36:37N-O-I-D.
36:39What does that stand for, Officer Nolan?
36:40Notice of Intent to Discipline.
36:42Why are you smiling?
36:43Because it means I still have a job.
36:44Don't celebrate yet.
36:45You're not going to like what's coming.
36:47Neither will you, Detective Harper.
36:48Sir, can I say something, please?
36:50As a training officer, I have one job, and that is to teach Officer Nolan the right way to be a cop.
36:56And I failed.
36:58I should bear all the consequences.
37:00Naila, no.
37:00As touching as this is, Officer Nolan has received enough instruction to know right from wrong.
37:07Clearly, I have given you both way too much leeway.
37:10That's on me.
37:11What is noble cause corruption, Officer Nolan?
37:14When an officer justifies bending or breaking the rules if they believe that infraction is being done in the name of justice.
37:19The ends justify the means.
37:21The mindset that bad behavior is okay as long as it produces justice is a cancer.
37:28And it's long past time we treat it as such.
37:30Big changes are being made moving forward.
37:33Those changes are starting right here, right now.
37:35You both will receive letters of reprimand in your file.
37:39In addition, Officer Nolan, you will be held over the FTO program for an additional month, and you'll have to pass a review board test to advance.
37:48Yes, sir.
37:49To be clear, receiving a letter of reprimand as a rookie is almost certain to keep you from advancing in the department.
37:57So any hopes of joining a specialized unit or making detectives should be abandoned.
38:01Given those constraints, you will have to decide if the life of a patrol officer is good enough for you.
38:11All right, go home.
38:12Get some rest.
38:15I'm so sorry.
38:17John.
38:17It's not your fault.
38:18It's kind of a lot my fault.
38:21What are you going to do?
38:24Exactly what Grace said.
38:25I'm going to go home.
38:26I'm going to go to bed.
38:27In the morning, I'm going to get up and...
38:28try to earn back what I've lost.
38:39You were wrong earlier.
38:41About anything in particular or just in a global sense?
38:44You said at the end of the day, we only think we know other people, but you're wrong.
38:49Okay, Lucy.
38:49No.
38:51When I was in that barrel, I knew you would find me.
38:55No matter what it took.
38:56I found you because of your ring.
39:00Okay?
39:01You saved yourself.
39:02And I really hope what happened with Rosalind today doesn't screw with your head.
39:06If it does, I'll deal with it.
39:09And I know you'll help me.
39:11Uh, it's not really part of my job description.
39:13Mm-hmm.
39:14Hey, I was wondering, um, well, Chris's funeral is tomorrow.
39:19And, look, is it okay if I go home with you and we can just go together in the morning?
39:22Of course.
39:24We could talk about you joining IA on the way home.
39:27Dad.
39:27Look, I'm not saying you have to decide now, but if you really want to make a difference in this department, you should think about it.
39:35I will.
39:36I promise.
39:37Good.
39:39I'll ask you again next week.
39:40I have no doubt.
39:41I'm taking a long bath when we get home.
39:45I'm going straight to bed.
39:47No, you're not.
39:48These dogs aren't going to rub themselves.
39:51Pregnant lemon are very needy.
39:53I don't think you're fully prepared.
39:54Uh-huh.
39:55Lopez, I have some good news.
39:58Me too.
39:59Can I go first?
40:00It's the only bright spot in my day.
40:01Sure, what's up?
40:03It's been an honor having you under my watch.
40:06What?
40:06You will be reporting to Detective Sergeant Carradine from now on.
40:09Your promotion is official.
40:11Congratulations, Detective.
40:18Oh, I'm sorry.
40:19So, what's your good news?
40:20Well, she's...
40:21I'm going to take a bath and get my feet rubbed.
40:25Okay.
40:27Mine was definitely better, but okay.
40:30Thank you, sir.
40:31It wouldn't have happened without you.
40:33Have a great night, you too.
40:36Why didn't you want me to tell him?
40:38I've been trying to make Detective for years.
40:40If I show her pregnant on day one,
40:42that's all they'll ever see me as.
40:44They'll treat me as fragile,
40:45and they'll never get a real shot.
40:46Okay, so we'll keep it a secret for now.
40:49For now.
41:06Hello?
41:21Congratulations.
41:23I underestimated you.
41:25Rosalind.
41:26You won.
41:27I didn't win.
41:28People died.
41:30People I care about.
41:31I know.
41:31But there is a bright side.
41:33At least for me.
41:35Armstrong's criminality puts all of his cases in jeopardy.
41:39Including mine.
41:40Rosalind, you are never going to walk free.
41:43We both know that.
41:45Now, I'm hanging up.
41:47I'm calling the prison,
41:48and they're going to come confiscate that phone you're on.
41:49I know that it was worth it to hear your voice.
41:54I'll be dreaming about it.
