Short filmTranscript
00:00You didn't nap, did you?
00:10I didn't have time.
00:11I gotta find a new place to live.
00:13No excuse, boot.
00:14Napping is the key to midnight shift.
00:17No shorter than 20 minutes or longer than 40.
00:19But hey, if you're comfortable ignoring my institutional wisdom...
00:21I'm getting evicted.
00:23Whose fault is that?
00:24Not mine.
00:25I'm turning my building into condos.
00:27That's what happens when you gentrify a working class neighborhood.
00:40What the hell is that?
00:42What?
00:44That.
00:50There was a guy standing there with a mask on.
00:53He was like seven feet tall.
00:55Mm-hmm.
00:57I saw him.
00:58He was right there.
01:00Bo, if you'd make me get out of this car for hallucinations...
01:03He was right here.
01:08Make-believe time is over.
01:10He was right here.
01:25Make-believe time is over.
01:29Stop!
01:42Police!
01:43Tim?
02:13Step out. Step out!
02:23Hands where I can see them.
02:27Peel the mask off, slowly. Slowly.
02:32Welcome to Midnight, Optimus Jen.
02:50No. No!
03:02Hey. Happy to be back on days?
03:05God, yes. I don't know if you heard, but it was good.
03:10Tim had shirts made.
03:11Of course he did.
03:12Well, you know, just wait until it's your turn, officer in bed by 10.
03:16What can I say? I'm a morning person.
03:19Mm-hmm.
03:22Good morning.
03:23You're here bright and early.
03:24Hey, if you're not early, you're late.
03:26That's a stupid sign.
03:27What's the problem?
03:28Bad.
03:29I want my name, too.
03:30It's not the t-shirt, although it is annoying.
03:32I can't find a place to live.
03:34You could always move back home.
03:35No, I really can't.
03:37You can bunk up with Nolan. He lives in a mansion.
03:39Hey, it's not a mansion. It's a guest house of a mansion.
03:42But you're welcome to crash on the couch if you need to.
03:45Yeah, thanks.
03:46But I am determined to find a nice, clean, affordable place to live, even if it kills me.
03:51It's not a mansion.
04:00I don't know, officer Nolan.
04:03You will be leading the roll call this morning.
04:07Sir?
04:08I didn't stutter. Get up there.
04:09I didn't stutter. Get up there.
04:20What now?
04:21The clipboard.
04:24Memo to all divisions from the chief of police.
04:27Complaints about police officer entitlement have risen sharply during the last few months.
04:32Sir?
04:33Do you know what that means?
04:35Police officer entitlement.
04:37I assume it has to do with unauthorized perks, free food, things of that nature?
04:41And what is LAPD's policy on gratuities?
04:47No officer shall receive any gratuity, gift, favor, or promise thereof as it may result in or be perceived as payment in exchange for influence, bias, or direction of an investigation or enforcement of punishable offenses.
05:01Nicely done.
05:05Chen West, will you please join Officer Nolan up front?
05:16Have your training officers discuss this policy with you?
05:19Yes, sir.
05:20And what was your takeaway?
05:21Sir, if I may?
05:22Oh.
05:23Sounds like a little CYA.
05:25No, sir.
05:26Buddha and I walked the straight and narrow.
05:28But businesses like having cops around.
05:30A half-priced meal every once in a while is just community relations.
05:33Doesn't mean we show them favoritism.
05:35You agree with this, Officer Bishop?
05:37I'm not saying I've never accepted a free cup of coffee, but it's usually the exception, not the norm.
05:43What about you, Officer Nolan?
05:45I got into this job to help people, not to help myself to free stuff.
05:49Cute line.
05:50It's a bunch of bull, but...
05:53It's not.
05:54Really?
05:55Do you pay fair market value for that beach house you live in?
05:58No, sir, but I act as caretaker for the main house when Ben is away, so technically I'm exchanging services for my rent.
06:04And what happens when that exchange isn't enough and your buddy gets a ticket or worse?
06:10Then he'll have to pay for his actions.
06:12Okay.
06:13Favors are a slippery slope, people.
06:16And so are freebies.
06:17Look, I like to keep it real in here.
06:20There is the letter of the law and there is the spirit.
06:23It is your job to know the difference.
06:26But make no mistake.
06:28As police officers, you have power.
06:32Usually we like to focus on the kind that you holster on your side.
06:36But the power that lives within your badge can be equally as dangerous.
06:42That's it.
06:43All right, guys, be safe out there.
06:48Seven Adam 19, break in at Westside Fertility Clinic.
06:51We haven't received a single freebie since I've been with you, so why did you defend that degree?
06:55Because hard rules like that are stupid.
06:57What we do doesn't exist in a vacuum.
06:59Circumstances dictate actions, not the other way around.
07:03Police?
07:04Anyone here?
07:06Yes.
07:07We had a break in.
07:08Yeah, I can see that.
07:10There's been a rash of burglaries in the neighborhood recently.
07:12Mostly addicts looking for stuff to sell.
07:14This wasn't an addict.
07:16They took embryos.
07:17That's a new one on me.
07:19Do I write this up as a burglary or an abduction?
07:23You want to put out 50 amber alerts?
07:24It's a burglary.
07:25Officer, there's a crucial time element here.
07:28Without proper temperature control, those embryos will be compromised.
07:32Any idea who took them?
07:33They're part of an ugly custody dispute.
07:36A lesbian couple.
07:37The eggs we harvested were from only one of the women, Marilyn Tinney.
07:40Her ex is suing for custody rights even though she doesn't have a biological connection.
07:45Okay.
07:46We're going to need names and addresses for both women.
07:47Of course.
07:48But you should know, when I called Marilyn to tell her, she got very upset.
07:54Said she was going to kill her.
07:55License and registration, please.
07:56Look, I don't have time for this.
07:57Look, no one does.
07:58But you blew through that stop sign.
07:59Because Prince Charles is going to die.
08:00Excuse me?
08:01My dog.
08:02He's a King Charles Cavalier and he just ate a whole bag of macadamia nuts.
08:03Look, I'm sorry, but I still have to write you.
08:04You're kidding.
08:05I'm racing him to the vets.
08:06They have to pump his stomach.
08:07Those nuts are toxic for dogs.
08:08Look, I understand, but this will only take a minute.
08:09License and registration, please.
08:10If he dies.
08:11Hope your dog's okay.
08:12Have a nice day.
08:13Go to hell.
08:14Okay.
08:17What the hell?
08:18I'm going to help.
08:19I'm not going to be here.
08:20I'm going to be here.
08:21To your dog.
08:22You're here and he just ate a whole bag of macadamia nuts.
08:23I'm sorry, but I still have to write you.
08:24You're kidding.
08:25I'm racing him to the vets.
08:26They have to pump his stomach.
08:27Those nuts are toxic for dogs.
08:28Look, I understand, but this will only take a minute.
08:30License your registration, please.
08:31Oh, si.
08:33If he dies.
08:35Hope your dog's okay.
08:37Have a nice day.
08:38Do you think a ticket was the best resolution, Officer West?
08:43You heard Sergeant Gray this morning?
08:45We have to remain vigilant.
08:46If we let everyone who's in a rush off the hook,
08:48the city would be undriveable.
08:49Her dog is dying. A warning would have been sufficient.
08:52Okay, a dog that size would have to eat a pound of nuts
08:54to induce ataxia.
08:55She drove through the stop sign in the school zone.
08:57It's a pretty serious infraction.
08:58We blow stop signs all the time,
09:00and park on lawns and drive on the wrong side of the road.
09:03Okay, that's different. We're cops.
09:05We only do it when necessary.
09:06Exactly. Discretion is an important part of this job,
09:08even if the outcome is different than following the letter of the law.
09:11With all due respect, I was raised differently.
09:14Law is a law.
09:17Those are mine!
09:18They are not yours! They're mine!
09:20Give them to me!
09:21Give them to me!
09:22Don't stare at me again!
09:23Listen, I said give them to me!
09:25LAPD, we're coming in.
09:27They're mine too!
09:28Hey, put down the weapon.
09:29Those are my embryos. She stole them from the clinic.
09:32No, they are your eggs, and we had them fertilized
09:35by a sperm donor together, you remember?
09:37Yeah, and the judge ruled that I get to use them.
09:39Do you remember that?
09:40Not if they're gone!
09:41Officer Chet, secure her.
09:44Give me the tubes.
09:46No.
09:47Please.
09:48Those...
09:50Those are my last chance to carry my own baby.
09:54Please.
09:55Don't take that from me.
09:59Please.
10:02We're supposed to have kids together.
10:06I saw you through your whole cancer treatment,
10:09and then you dumped me for a yoga instructor?!
10:12Wait, wait, wait, wait.
10:13Mr. Nui.
10:15You're angry.
10:16You have every right to be.
10:18But doing this, it won't put your marriage back together.
10:23Okay?
10:24Nothing will.
10:27But you will come to hate yourself if you go through with this,
10:30so put the tubes back in that container.
10:33You think I'm compromised living at Ben's house?
10:50Probably.
10:51You asked.
10:52Yeah, but I meant what I said to Sergeant Gray.
10:54If he asked me for a favor, I'd say no.
10:56Why even put yourself in that position?
10:58If it were me, I'd have to pay my own way.
11:00Like a grown-up.
11:03Driver okay?
11:04He's been stabbed.
11:05Left side.
11:06Looks like he passed out, then hit his head in the crash.
11:08Any ID?
11:09Not that I can find.
11:10Control, I need you to run the following plates.
11:115 Frank Victor Alpha 2-7.
11:14Call registered to Matthew Rodriguez.
11:16Date of birth, 7-7-1990.
11:19Copy that.
11:20Send another unit to our location for an accident report.
11:22It appears Mr. Rodriguez has been the victim of an assault.
11:25We're accompanying RA to the hospital.
11:26We'll follow you.
11:27Got it.
11:28My guy didn't get stabbed driving alone, so either it happened before he got in the car,
11:33or his attacker bolted after the accident.
11:36I gotta admit, I thought there'd be more mysteries on this job.
11:40We'll be happy there aren't.
11:41The unknown is a pain in the butt.
11:43Sure, but still, every once in a while you want, I'll puzzle this off.
11:47I said with Adam 15, suspect, the victim, on foot, force, scissor, Chavez, southbound.
12:05Okay.
12:06Now I really want to know what happened.
12:14So our vehicle is registered to Matthew Rodriguez, but our stabbing victim is not Matthew Rodriguez.
12:20Hmm.
12:21Looks like Mr. Rodriguez has a rap sheet with gang orders.
12:24You know what those are?
12:25It means a judge ordered him not to associate with gang members, wear their colors, or go to their neighborhood.
12:29Odds are a guy like that is connected to our John Doe stabbing.
12:32I thought officers were supposed to avoid making assumptions.
12:35There's a big difference between making an assumption and a likely scenario.
12:38Which is?
12:39Oh, let me guess.
12:40When it comes from you, it's a likely scenario.
12:42There's hope for you yet, Officer Nolan.
12:44Now, let's pay Mr. Rodriguez a visit and see if he can shine some light on our stabbing victim.
12:49707, respond to a false imprisonment call, 9740 Campus Street.
12:54Hi, are you the manager?
12:55Yes.
12:56Hi.
12:57Sir, we received a call that one of your customers is being held against their will.
13:00He's not a customer.
13:01He's a scam artist.
13:02Excuse me?
13:03This guy sets up first dates with women, runs up the bill, and then sneaks out the back door.
13:08He's been doing it at restaurants all over the neighborhood.
13:10He tried to do it to that poor woman over there, but one of our kitchen staff caught him and locked his ass in the walking fridge.
13:16Give us a minute.
13:22Seems like you're having a pretty bad day.
13:24Tinder is like the clearance rack at an outlet store.
13:27Dating apps are all bad.
13:28He ordered a $500 bottle of wine for lunch, and then the charcuterie board, and the cheese plate, and that steak au poivre.
13:37The bill is $680.
13:40I don't know how I'm going to cover my rent this month.
13:43Did you already order dessert?
13:46No.
13:47Go ahead and get something.
13:48Maybe two things.
13:50Why?
13:51Look, I know what you're doing.
13:53She bumped up the bill to $700.
13:55We can charge a date with a felony.
13:56Very good, Officer West.
13:58It's not our job to put our thumb on the scale and change the outcome here.
14:01Are you lecturing me on police work, boo?
14:03No, but it's still-
14:04But nothing.
14:05Go hook up our Dine and Dasher.
14:11Definitely get the creme brulee.
14:15The best creme brulee in the city.
14:18Seriously?
14:19You're totally fine with this.
14:21Susan isn't stuck paying the bill since the owners can write it off as theft.
14:24The only person paying for the crime is this jerk who committed it.
14:27That's the spirit of the law.
14:29Now, take a bite.
14:30No, I don't want it.
14:32Come on, get off your high horse and try a little.
14:34No.
14:35I think it's-
14:36Just a little bite.
14:39Wow.
14:40Mm-hmm.
14:41Told ya.
14:42Matthew Rodriguez!
14:43Police!
14:44Open up!
14:45Nolan.
14:46Ready?
14:47Mm-hmm.
14:48I guess now we know who stamped our John Doe.
14:49You sound disappointed.
14:50No.
14:51I just thought it might be a little less cut and dry.
14:54Well, believe me.
14:55Cut and dry is a little better.
14:56You're right.
14:57You're right.
14:58You're right.
14:59You're right.
15:00You're right.
15:01You're right.
15:02You're right.
15:03You're right.
15:04You're right.
15:05You're right.
15:06You're right.
15:07You're right.
15:08Cut and dry is a lot less paperwork.
15:10Seven item 15.
15:11We need a homicide unit at 4495 Barrington.
15:14Our John Doe is now a murder suspect.
15:21You're not done yet?
15:23At this stage in training, you should have knocked that out in two minutes.
15:26What's the problem?
15:27I'm-I'm not sure how to write it.
15:29It's a simple grand theft report.
15:31It's not simple.
15:33Or we made that case of felony.
15:35Something that should have been a citation.
15:36We turned into a weekend in jail.
15:38And you wouldn't be able to lie on the report.
15:41I seem to remember writing a report about you.
15:45Second day on the job.
15:47And the truth about your cowardice in the line of fire.
15:51Ringing a bell?
15:52Yeah.
15:53And I'm grateful you know that.
15:56But I'm not-
15:57But what, Boot?
15:58More than any other rookie, you should know the difference between the spirit and the letter.
16:02Unless you don't think it applies to you.
16:05Are you the exception, Officer West?
16:07No, ma'am.
16:08Yeah, here you are acting holier than thou.
16:11Tell me something.
16:13Do you carry a push knife?
16:15One of those fight for your life, last resort, do or die kind of knives.
16:19You know that I do.
16:20I mean, my dad gave it to me.
16:22Oh, right.
16:24Your father, Huelba, walks in water.
16:27Only this knife is illegal.
16:29Yeah, right.
16:30I mean, half the department carry these.
16:32Penal code section 12020.
16:34The very bottom.
16:35Technically, it's a dagger.
16:37Look it up if you don't believe me.
16:40Look, if it's true, then I just won't carry one anymore.
16:45That is the wrong lesson to learn here.
16:48You're in for a hard fall if you can't see the difference between righteous and rigid.
16:52And if that wasn't the first thing your father taught you, he failed you.
16:59Now fill out the damn report.
17:01We gotta get back out there.
17:05It doesn't seem right to lock up Marilyn too.
17:07She was only trying to protect her embryos.
17:09There's nothing we can do.
17:10She committed an assault.
17:11Domestic violence laws are strict for a reason.
17:13What happened to circumstances dictate actions?
17:16Oh, trust me.
17:17This is one rule I'm all for.
17:18Cemeteries are filled with women who'd still be alive if cops have been forced to hook
17:21up their spouses the second he or she laid hands.
17:24That is a very enlightened attitude.
17:27You seem surprised.
17:28Sir, you surprise me every day.
17:30Uh-huh.
17:31Go gas up the shop.
17:35Hey, how's it going?
17:36Hey.
17:37It's been an interesting morning.
17:38How about you?
17:39Same.
17:40Found a dead body to Langston or Holscher.
17:42How was it?
17:43Bruce.
17:44Guy took a bullet right to his, uh...
17:45Oh, wait.
17:46Not the body.
17:47The apartment.
17:48Oh, uh, it was nice.
17:50Surprisingly upscale for a gang member.
17:52Are you asking for you?
17:54Well, the building needs to disclose if someone was killed in the apartment.
17:57So, might mean a break in rent.
17:59Yeah, just a bit of a questionable way to find a place to live, no?
18:02Yeah, well, traditional clearly isn't working out, so...
18:05Let's go, boot.
18:06Captain wants to see us.
18:07That should hold you until you get to the hospital.
18:12Captain.
18:13What's going on?
18:15That's our murder suspect.
18:16He's not a suspect, Officer Nolan.
18:17He's an undercover narcotics detective.
18:18Robert Ortiz.
18:19I'm sorry about the ambulance thing.
18:21I've been undercover in Salaoma for almost a year, working my way closer to the offshoot
18:25in Boyle Heights called Ocampo Loco.
18:26They control the cash flow and then bundle the drug money and ship it back to Mexico.
18:27How much money are we talking?
18:28Right now, at least a million.
18:29The word is they're going to ship it tonight.
18:30I was about to report it when my cover was blown by Matthew Rodriguez, who tried to kill
18:35me, so I shot him in self-defense.
18:36You know the rest?
18:37Officer Ortiz has bravely volunteered to go back in to protect his cover in the city
18:40of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city.
18:41And he's been in the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city.
18:44I've been undercover in Salaoma for almost a year, working my way closer to the offshoot
18:47in Boyle Heights called Ocampo Loco.
18:49They control the cash flow and then bundle the drug money and ship it back to Mexico.
18:52How much money are we talking?
18:53Right now, at least a million.
18:54The word is they're going to ship it tonight.
18:55He's bravely volunteered to go back in to protect his cover and set up our tactical operation.
18:59Last time I was at the house, there was four Alcones guarding the money.
19:03Heavy hitters.
19:04We're going to gear up heavy, position ourselves down the street, being ready to initiate a
19:09full-blown raid on the house once Ortiz gives us a signal.
19:12Rookies, this is your first high-level tactical operation.
19:16Let's be prepared.
19:17Did you read the search warrant?
19:19Yes, ma'am.
19:208531 Winchester Boulevard.
19:22I've been licensed since the 1800s Victorian with five bedrooms and two bathrooms and a guest house.
19:26Front door?
19:27Solid oak with a copper handle on the right side.
19:31You know the specs of this equipment, Officer Chen?
19:33It's a Black Hawk Dynamic Entry Special Operant.
19:37How much does it weigh?
19:3860 pounds here.
19:39Hold it tight.
19:40You'll be the breacher.
19:41You'll buy a round for every swing it takes to knock that door down.
19:43Walk me through a tactical gear check.
19:46Stock zip ties in the loops of the tack vest.
19:49And then?
19:50Secure any loose gear, tack vest, helmet, etc.
19:53Finally, secure firearm to a thyroid.
19:55Very good.
19:56Any questions?
19:59What if I have to pee?
20:01I'll hold it.
20:02I'm good.
20:03All units.
20:04We're 30 seconds out.
20:05Get ready.
20:06Be safe.
20:07Officer West.
20:08You do the 844.
20:09Stand by to initiate.
20:10Ortiz is in.
20:11Where the hell you been?
20:12Rodriguez was talking to the cops.
20:13He tried to stink me when I called him out.
20:14So I put a bullet in his head.
20:15We gotta get out of here.
20:16You couldn't give him this place.
20:17How the hell are we gonna do that?
20:18We got a million in casualty.
20:19We gotta get out.
20:20It's too hot to stay here.
20:21That's the signal.
20:22Initiate.
20:23That's the signal initiate.
20:53Police.
20:54Open the door.
20:55We have a search warrant.
20:56Open the line.
20:57Open the door to the right.
20:58Don't let me eat.
20:59Open the door.
21:00Don't let me eat.
21:01Open the door.
21:02Show me your hands.
21:03What's right there?
21:04On the ground.
21:05Step back or I'll shoot.
21:06Get down on your knees now.
21:07Clear.
21:08You good?
21:09Hey.
21:10Hey.
21:11Hey.
21:12Hey.
21:13Hey.
21:14Hey.
21:15Hey.
21:16Hey.
21:17Hey.
21:18Hey.
21:19Hey.
21:20Hey.
21:21Hey.
21:22Hey.
21:23Hey.
21:24Hey.
21:25Hey.
21:26Hey.
21:27Hey.
21:28Hey.
21:29Hey.
21:30Hey.
21:31Your fingers head behind your head.
21:34You okay?
21:35Yeah, barely.
21:36Well, that hurts at the hospital on the way out.
21:38Clear.
21:39Coming out.
21:45It's the best of assignment.
21:47Follow me.
21:51It's all right. Here's what happens now.
21:55The money counters and the videographer are on their way.
21:58In the meantime, you three get to watch the money.
22:01Two people with it at all times. No selfies.
22:05Enjoy.
22:12Where does all this money go?
22:14Cass sees during drug raids goes back to narcotics,
22:17where it's used again for undercover ops.
22:19That's more money than I've ever seen in one place.
22:22Can you imagine?
22:25I'd buy a car. No, a helicopter.
22:29And learn to fly it so I could avoid all the traffic.
22:31Yeah, that first big purchase is always tricky, right?
22:34The barber in Foxburg, he won the lottery,
22:37bought a big, fancy boat, ran it aground in Freeport.
22:41Coat the gills. I don't think a boat is a good idea.
22:43What about you? What'd you spend it on?
22:45I'm not playing that game. It's drug money.
22:48Mom, we're just talking.
22:49A million dollars lands on your doorstep.
22:52What do you do? Go.
22:54And don't say you'd set aside 30% for taxes.
22:57Um, a new car, I guess.
22:59Um, or maybe a trip.
23:02Been wanting to do a little traveling.
23:04Let me guess.
23:05You'd visit police departments all around the world.
23:08Learn their techniques?
23:10No.
23:10I'd pay all of Henry's tuition with the money.
23:18Because we didn't have those student loans hanging over us dead.
23:21Yeah, they're no fun.
23:23I'll be paying mine off until I'm 60.
23:26Yeah, well, with this money, you could pay them all off
23:29and still rent an amazing place by the ocean.
23:32Meanwhile, I couldn't afford to buy the room in the house I'm living in.
23:35Better would have got you something pretty nice back in Foxburg, though.
23:37Mm, biggest house in town and then some.
23:41Still can't get used to the cost of living in Los Angeles.
23:43It's like you have to add an extra zero to everything.
23:46You know, I never really thought about money growing up.
23:48We all just had enough, you know?
23:50Yeah, that's what I thought.
23:52Until my parents went bankrupt when I was nine.
23:56It took a couple of really bad years before we got back up on our feet.
24:00Well, I've been there.
24:00If it had been days, I would have killed to be sitting across from this much money.
24:07There for the taking.
24:08Hey, don't even joke about that.
24:10I've heard too many stories from my dad about cops who started filling their pockets,
24:14convincing themselves that it was a victimless crime,
24:16that they were entitled to a little extra compensation for their troubles.
24:19Okay, well, relax.
24:21It's not us.
24:22Yeah, that's what they thought at first, too.
24:23But then you take a body of the creme brulee,
24:25and the next thing you know, you're doing three to five for felony theft.
24:28I'm sorry, creme brulee?
24:31Never mind.
24:32Oh, man.
24:34What?
24:34I just, I still have to pee, but with all this...
24:38I'll be right back.
24:43All done?
24:45Just finished.
24:46Bad guy's on the way to jail, Ortiz on his way to the hospital, so we're headed out.
24:49You're not waiting for us?
24:50Nope, but we're leaving a shot behind.
24:52Remember, shift starts tomorrow at noon,
24:54but you want to get in early to do tonight's paperwork.
24:56Copy that.
24:57Are the money counters going to get here soon?
24:59I'd get comfortable if I were you.
25:01Those guys work at their own pace.
25:03Yeah.
25:04Oh, where's the...
25:05I'd still do the job.
25:16Even if I came into money.
25:18That's a lot of shock.
25:19You know, I would, too.
25:24You've known what you've wanted to do since, Worth, but I just figured out.
25:28There's no way I would bail now.
25:31What about you?
25:34Having money makes things easier, not better.
25:37That's not an answer.
25:39Would you quit the job?
25:41And pass up on being hazed on a daily basis by training officers ten years of my junior?
25:45You're going to come.
25:55All right.
25:57Officers Brazier and Williams are riding on the scene.
25:591.17 a.m.
26:00We're leaving three uniformed officers.
26:02What are your names?
26:03Nolan Chen West.
26:05Anyone else?
26:05Come in or out?
26:06No, ma'am.
26:06Great.
26:09Get the rope.
26:10We got it from here.
26:15You coming?
26:17We might never see this much money again.
26:20If there's ever another raid and they need someone to sit and wait until the wee hours,
26:25I have a feeling it'll be us.
26:32Nolan, wake up!
26:35Nolan!
26:37Nolan!
26:43Did I oversleep?
26:48Ship starts at noon.
26:49Captain called me to bring you in early.
26:50Why?
26:51She didn't say.
26:52That sounds bad.
26:53It's not good.
26:53Do I have time to...
26:54Get dressed.
26:59What's going on?
27:00They told us to gather our boots same as you.
27:04We have a situation.
27:05Money counters are telling us that we're missing $250,000.
27:09And you three were the only ones left alone with the money.
27:18Well, the money counters must have made a mistake.
27:20There's video of them entering the garage and relieving you.
27:23And then they counted the money.
27:25And got $750,000 and not a million.
27:27Let me remind you, an officer was recently convicted of third-degree official misconduct for taking $70 from a crime scene.
27:33He served him two years behind bars.
27:35What do you think would happen to a cop who steals a quarter million dollars?
27:38But we didn't take it.
27:39Maybe the assumption was wrong.
27:42Maybe it was always $750,000.
27:43That's not what the intel shows.
27:45The guys on the bar are saying it's a million.
27:46Okay, well, we can all vouch for each other.
27:49Not good enough.
27:50The only thing that will clear you is passing a polygraph.
27:52No, I can't, by law, make you take one.
27:55It would have to be strictly voluntary.
27:56What if we decline his grounds for suspension pending an investigation?
28:00And it possibly could lead to your termination.
28:03Well, that's not much of a choice, but...
28:07Yeah, we'll do it.
28:09Okay.
28:10Let's go.
28:11What, now?
28:12Now.
28:21You think one of them really could have done it?
28:23Not by themselves.
28:24No one came back into the house to use a bathroom.
28:26One of the other two could have hidden some of the money then.
28:29Came back, picked it up later.
28:31There's no way Wes participated.
28:32That kid is squeaky clean.
28:34Well, if it was a chance, you wouldn't get caught like this.
28:35Sounds like a compliment.
28:37I'm just saying, she's smarter than that.
28:39It doesn't matter if they did it or not.
28:41If they don't walk out of there with a flawless polygraph, they're done.
28:49What am I saying?
28:50The pressure pad that registers if you attempt to try to cheat the polygraph by clenching your buttocks.
28:57Well, that can't be a real thing.
29:00You just clenched.
29:01Really?
29:03What am I doing now?
29:05Officer Wes, do you seem uncomfortable?
29:09Is there something you'd like to get off your chest before we begin?
29:12Yes.
29:14I, um, I had a bite of creme brulee, okay?
29:17And yes, it was delicious.
29:19Like, I know it was wrong, but now that taste is in my mouth.
29:23That sweet flavor of corruption.
29:25It's just, but I want to let you guys know that I've learned my lesson and it will never happen again.
29:31Okay, let's begin with a few controlled questions.
29:37Answer with a simple yes or no.
29:39Is your name Jonathan Nolan?
29:41Yes.
29:41Do you live at 72 14 and a half Alvaro Street, Apartment F?
29:46For the moment.
29:47A simple yes or no, officer.
29:49Sorry.
29:49Um, yes.
29:50Are your eyes brown?
29:51Um, well, my mom always says they're more of a dark chestnut, but brown is fine.
30:00Did you witness anyone taking money?
30:02No.
30:02Were you ever alone with the money?
30:04Yes, sir.
30:05No, no, sir.
30:06No.
30:08Like, I'm sorry.
30:09These wires make me really nervous.
30:11I can't...
30:12Have you ever lied to protect another officer?
30:16No.
30:19Let's try that again.
30:20Have you ever lied to protect a fellow officer?
30:26Yes.
30:27Regarding the missing money?
30:29No, ma'am.
30:33Why didn't you tell them about creme brulee?
30:35I don't know.
30:35It came up naturally.
30:36There were yes or no questions.
30:38How does creme brulee come up naturally?
30:40Boots, you've all passed your polygraphs.
30:43But this is far from over.
30:45Go home.
30:46The detectives will contact you soon about follow-up and abuse.
30:48I've got to find out what happened to that money before you hit the street again.
30:51Yes, ma'am.
30:54Hey, you know what I'd like to do after I've been suspected of a felony?
30:58A drink?
30:59Damn straight.
30:59I've got a stocked fridge.
31:00Anyone want to join?
31:01I'm down.
31:01Lucy?
31:02Yeah, it's barely lunch and I should make use of the time off and go apartment tending.
31:06You okay?
31:06Why would I be?
31:13Hey.
31:15We all got cleared.
31:17You're cops.
31:17We supposed to be impressed you're not criminals?
31:20No, sir.
31:21Part of the job description, really.
31:22And you won't be cleared until the money's found.
31:25But we'll do our best to try and find it.
31:30Natalia's right.
31:31If they don't catch who stole that money, cops are going to think we did it.
31:35No matter what the polygraph said, we'll never be trusted again.
31:38No, you're not wrong.
31:39So what do we do?
31:42Hey, Lucy.
31:43You're on with me and Jackson.
31:44You know, if they don't find the money, we're screwed.
31:47We were just talking about that.
31:49I keep going over it in my mind.
31:50The only thing I can think of is that money was gone long before we ever got to the garage.
31:55What the hell is this guy doing?
31:58Like what?
31:59This black SUV, he's riding my ass.
32:04He just hit me.
32:06It looks like he's trying to run me off the road.
32:08Where are you?
32:09I'm driving south on Griffith Park Drive.
32:11I just passed Mineral Wells Trail.
32:18Lucy?
32:19Lucy?
32:25Bishop, Lucy's in trouble.
32:41Someone tried to drive her off the road.
32:43Griffith Park Drive.
32:44Jackson and I are on our way there now.
32:45Okay, it's two left.
32:56Clare!
33:20Phone's in the car.
33:22Officer needs help requesting backup and airship.
33:24Vans clear.
33:25Griffith Park Drive.
33:26Be advised, plainclothes officers in pursuit heading northwest into the woods.
33:29Seven out of 19.
33:31We're five minutes out.
33:31Hold until we get there.
33:49Which way?
33:51I don't know.
33:52You seeing that?
33:56Yeah.
34:00That way.
34:02You sure?
34:02No.
34:03Drop the gun.
34:25What do you want?
34:29The money you stole.
34:30You're with Laoma?
34:35And you're with the LAPD.
34:36Officer Lucy Chen.
34:38Lives at 7214 and a half Alvarado Street.
34:41Apartment F.
34:42How do you know all that?
34:43Public records.
34:44Addresses.
34:45Police reports.
34:46Damn, everything's on the net.
34:48So I already know.
34:49You were guarding our money.
34:51And 250 G's went missing.
34:53And I know you're the cop that took it.
34:54I...
34:55I didn't steal anything.
34:57Oh, please.
34:58We've seen your place.
35:00Ran your credit.
35:01We need a serious cash infusion.
35:04So, where's our money?
35:07I already told you.
35:09I don't have it.
35:11Tough girl, huh?
35:12Well, everybody's tough at first.
35:14Until they're not.
35:15Andres.
35:18Cut her up a little.
35:19This isn't about the money, Chica.
35:29A quarter million is a rounding error on our gas budget.
35:32This is about sending a message.
35:35You can't steal from us.
35:38Even if you carry a badge.
35:40I saw you.
35:42What?
35:42Outside the house, right before we raided it.
35:45You're wearing those boots and carrying that duffel bag with the red stripe.
35:48Somebody tipped you off about the raid.
35:51You took the money.
35:53You got in before we hit the place.
35:54You thought no one would notice.
36:03Shots fired northwest from our previous.
36:06Damn it.
36:07Ah!
36:12You messed it all up.
36:14Hey!
36:23Police!
36:24Don't move!
36:30Do not move!
36:32Stay on the ground!
36:35You got this?
36:36Yeah.
36:37I'm going after Lucy.
36:38Nice.
36:51Do you have cuffs?
36:52Yeah.
36:53Osper.
36:56What took you so long?
36:57Paramedics has taken our other suspects to Shaw Memorial.
37:06Homicide's working the outcome.
37:07This one killed.
37:08And the missing 250,000?
37:09Einstein had it stacked on his coffee table.
37:11Wes and Lopez are bringing it in now.
37:13All right.
37:13Good work.
37:16And how are you doing?
37:17Oh, good.
37:19I think I might have twisted my ankle.
37:20I met Officer Chen, Nolan.
37:23That was good work out there.
37:24Thank you, sir.
37:25I'm just relieved that we found the missing money.
37:27So I take it we're off the hook about the cash?
37:30You are.
37:31But to be clear,
37:33at no point did anyone actually believe that three rookies
37:35knew how to smuggle a quarter million cash out of a crime scene.
37:40But good work.
37:47Hey.
37:48Hey.
37:48Look, in case I haven't said this enough,
37:53I've been training to be a cop my whole life.
37:56I walked in here thinking I knew everything about everything,
37:59and I can only imagine how annoying that's been.
38:02I want to call it annoying.
38:03I call it, yeah, no, annoying's about right.
38:07Well, I'm sorry.
38:09You're my T.O., not my dad.
38:12I should let you teach me how to be a cop,
38:14even if some of your methods contradict the things that he showed me.
38:16But, look, I just hope that you'll understand
38:19if I need to take a moment to adjust.
38:22I guess I can give you that.
38:25And thanks for not giving up on me.
38:27I wouldn't be here without you,
38:29and I'll never forget that again.
38:40Good time?
38:41Of course.
38:42Come in, Captain.
38:43Let's see how you were doing.
38:44All-you-can-eat pudding.
38:48The only highlight of being in a hospital.
38:51You want one?
38:52No, no, no.
38:53You enjoy.
38:55Hey, uh, I thought you'd like to know
38:58we recovered the missing quarter million.
39:01Wow.
39:03That's really good news.
39:04Turns out it was gone before we even showed up.
39:07Gang member Franco DeSantis took it just before our raid.
39:09He pulled his cell records.
39:12Turns out there was an incoming call
39:13just before he grabbed the cash
39:14and walked it out the door.
39:16Do you know where that call came from?
39:19Mm-mm.
39:20I have no idea.
39:22The station.
39:26Did you think I made it?
39:31Oh, I know you did.
39:31You see, Franco admitted as much.
39:38Don't.
39:40You should enjoy your pudding.
39:43The stuff they give you in prison,
39:44phew, not nearly as good.
39:54Hey.
39:55Come in, come in, come in.
39:56So, this is my new place.
40:00It's great, right?
40:02Oh, uh, there's a giant bloodstain on the rock.
40:05Which is how I'm getting 25% off for the first year.
40:09Are you sure that's not because you're a cop?
40:11Yeah.
40:12He didn't even know before he cut me the break.
40:14Landlord was super eager to get it all done,
40:17especially because I said I would take it as is.
40:19As is?
40:21You mean that...
40:22Oh, yeah, which is why you're here.
40:25You see, friends help friends clean up crime scenes.
40:34We'll get poke after.
40:36Okay.
40:40So, what should we drink to?
40:43To paying your own way.
40:45That's strangely specific.
40:47Listen, I really appreciate everything you've done for me.
40:50You really helped me get back on my feet.
40:52But I'm back on them now.
40:54And I can't just keep living here for free.
40:58I don't need you to pay rent.
40:59I need me to pay rent.
41:00So, what would you list this place for?
41:03Oh, I don't know.
41:0512, maybe 11?
41:08How about we'll just call it $10,000 even.
41:10A month?
41:11I can't afford that.
41:13I'll tell you what.
41:14Why don't you pay what you can afford?
41:16I'll call it even.
41:19Deal.
41:24And I have to tell you, oh, my God, that's good.
41:27But I have to be clear.
41:30As a cop, I can't do you any favors.
41:33I can't fix a ticket for you.
41:35I can't help you out of any legal jeopardy.
41:38I just hope you understand.
41:41Totally.
41:42And you know what?
41:42I would never come to you for anything like that.
41:45Okay?
41:46I'm super tight with the district attorney.
41:48That's not better.
41:49So, this rent that you're going to be paying,
41:53is it retroactive from when you moved in?
41:56Um, yes.
41:58That's great.
41:59That's great.
42:28Damn it.
