All language subtitles for Tommy.S01E05.To.Take.a.Hostage.WEBRip.x264-ION10.en

Previously onTommy... I am Abigail Thomas.

Usually just Tommy.

Are you the new
security detail?Abnar Diaz.

You wanted to see me, boss?

You used to be a
detective, right?

The best.

I will call my daughter.

She is a school psychologist,
married.

Things aren't great
with her and Henry.

She talk to you about that?

How bad is it?He's living
in the guesthouse.

I launched an investigation
into a friend of the mayor's.

LAPD!

Turn around!
Put your hands behind your back.

I'm trying to figure out
this Arturo Lopez situation.

If you hear things
from reporters,

would you mind sharing?Sure.

You're covering
the Arturo Lopez case, right?

Every sordid detail.

Arturo Lopez just got shanked

in county jail. He's dead.

Lot of people must be relieved.

Arturo knew where a ton
of bodies were buried.

Kiley Mills,
brilliant sports agent.

This is my former soul mate,
Abigail Thomas.

Feminist savior of the LAPD.

Uh, Tommy. Good to meet you.

This is 213
in pursuit of a black SUV.

Ran a red on Franklin

and Hillhurst. He's
heading north towards the 5.

Copy.

Picking up speed.
Requesting backup.

Copy that. Requesting backup

and supervisor for pursuit
of black SUV heading north.

I just realized
who I should've married.

Wow.

It's not even 7:00.

There was this guy
in my grad school class,

and I was already with Henry.

It's-it's nothing now,
but at the time...

We had a connection right away.

You know what I thought?

It was a sign
I should marry Henry.

The fact that I could resist
someone I preferred

made me feel like
I was already his wife.

Nothing's ever perfect, honey.

Not with Henry.

Not with your grad school guy,
either, probably.

Henry came back last night.

He didn't say a word.

Just went out to the guesthouse.

More like a hostage.

I'm gonna tell him we
need to talk tonight.

Just be honest with him.

If I'm really honest, I need
to tell him I want a divorce.

Remember,

nothing true is ever so bad
that it can't be said.

I don't imagine
that is your science project.

Luna and I negotiated
a deal last night.

If she'd go to sleep,
I'd help her finish.

I'm just trying to get the
girl some sleep, you know?

Ready, boss?

Hey, Diaz.Kate. Nice solar system.

I didn't know you crafted.

You got skills.

You check your phone?

Why?We got a pursuit.

Our chopper is in the sky

bringing you live footage
of the car chase...

Now, the car belongs
to Austin Blaine.

Uh, it looks like
he's the driver, too.

Isn't that
the music festival guy?

Wasn't he supposed
to be arraigned this morning?

Apparently, he decided
to make a run for it instead.

Blaine is the runner?Where is he?

Uh, he just got off the
105 a few minutes ago.

He's working his way
through South-Central

at 50 miles an hour.

Maybe we should back off
with the ground units,

let an airship track him.

If we stop chasing him,
maybe he'll slow down.

Chief, this is now
a national story.

It would be a major statement
to just give up.

Blaine is a nonviolent offender.

He's easy to find.
We'll pick him up later.

I don't want to kill
a pedestrian

so we can nab
a failed concert promoter on TV.

It wasn't just a concert. It
was more of a lifestyle week...Shh, shh, shh.

Blake has a point, and
he's up on federal charges,

so the FBI is all over it.

I have a meeting with the mayor.
When it's done,

if this guy is still leading
a parade around town,

we're gonna
discuss this again.

Copy that.

Hey, Nichelle.
Is he ready for me?

Good morning, Chief.

Mr. Deputy Mayor.

The mayor sends his regrets.
He can't make your meeting.

He had an emergency breakfast.

Never heard of a breakfast
emergency, but all right.

Well, you know, every day
has its little surprises.

Um, so,

your budget proposal
before the council.

Ourbudget proposal.
Yes, for 500 new officers.

Well, we thought
you had the votes,

but it looks like you don't.

The mayor assured me
he was behind it.

He-he said
he could get the votes.

Well, he is behind it.

But?

Well, any muscle he has
with the council

he has to save
for his homeless initiative.

It's coming up shortly.

That's his legacy.

But the mayor wants you to know
that he loves the measure.

500 new cops,

funding for a program to attract
more diverse recruits,

that's gonna make
a real difference.

And we'll get it... in time.

Recruiting new officers
is our biggest issue.

We're never gonna
change this department

if we don't get new people.

That is mylegacy.

He understands that.So,

who are these no votes

the mayor didn't want
to use his muscle on?

Uh, council members
Peet and Cordero.

And it's really too early

for you to be thinking
about your legacy.

LAPD!

Get on the ground!

LAPD!

Drop the gun!Drop it!

Drop the gun!

Shots fired! Shots fired!

We got a problem.

Austin Blaine got
into an accident

near Fairfax and Venice.

He and another guy ran
into a fast-food joint

before officers
could get to them.

They're armed

and holed up with we don't
know how many people.

So, our white-collar
criminal now has hostages.

Six months ago, Austin Blaine
was selling tickets

to what he called
the biggest music festival

and luxury extravaganza ever.

Dubbed Wylde Weekend,

it was supposed to be three days
of music and luxe lifestyle

on an island
off Baja California.

But when the weekend arrived,
there was no music,

no plush hotels,
no gourmet food.

The only thing Wylde,
it turned out,

was the fraud.

Today, Austin Blaine was
supposed to be answering charges

in federal court.

Instead, he ended up here,

hiding out at a restaurant.

Police have...

The incident commander

says there's been
no communication

since Blaine and the
other guy ran inside.

So, what about this other guy,
the accomplice?

We don't have a name.

Uh, a security camera
got a partial photo.

Tech's trying
facial recognition,

but they're not hopeful.

Has anybody tried
calling Blaine's phone?

He doesn't answer.
So,

we have a hostage situation, but
he's not asking for anything.

Well, he's getting press.

Blake's already down
there. It's a mob scene.

Got to give it to the man.
He's a PR genius.

How long did you run
the hostage negotiation unit?

Seven years, give or take.

Blake is right.
We got a lot of eyes on this.

I need an experienced hand.

I'd like you to run it.

Can I take Diaz?
He seems to know

about this guy.
Sure.

Bring your team off to this
side. I want the east side.

Cooper!

What the hell are you doing
here? Got bored hiding

behind your desk?
Johnson.

I'm just here
to make sure you don't

completely screw this thing up.

Abnar Diaz, Davey Johnson.Hey.

Hey.What have you got?

Inner and outer perimeters
are secure.

We've evacuated
a one-block radius.

Airship's up.
Snipers in position

on front
and back entrances.

Kind of hoping
we won't need the snipers.

Anything else?We got one of the hostages.

Yeah.

Name's Jocelyn Smith. Waitress.

Apparently, when Blaine
and the other guy came in,

she ran out the back.

Got a couple of blocks away

before she figured
she should, you know,

talk to us.

Ms. Smith, I'm Chief Cooper.

This is Detective Diaz.

We're very sorry
about what you've been through.

Can you tell us what happened?

I was just
waiting at the register,

and the two of them busted in.

How many people were in the
restaurant when they came in?

Evelyn and myself
at the register,

and Javi and his two guys were
in the kitchen.

So, five with you.
Did anyone else get out?

No. I mean, I'm pretty sure no.

Can you tell us anything
about the second man?

Did they seem like
they were friends?

Um...

I only saw 'em talking to each
other for, like, a second,

but I did see the documentary,

and I don't think the other
guy was in it.

Also, he had the gun.

The other guy.

So, the other guy is armed.

Did Blaine have a partner
in this festival?

No.

Then who the hell
is in there with him?

We appreciate your cooperation

under these circumstances,

and we're asking
that you say and show nothing

about where the officers

are positioned.

Questions?

Vincent?Are any hostages hurt?

And can you give their names?

As far as we know, no
one has been injured,

and we're not identifying
anyone at this time.

Mina.The footage clearly shows

two men going inside.

Who's the second man?

As I said, we're not identifying
anyone at this time.

Does the LAPD have a comment
about the Wylde Festival?

I leave that to the imagination

of the readers of
your blog, Lydia.

Anyone else with
a real question?

Austin,
we just gave you a phone

with a direct line
to us.

Please call. We want to talk
about what you need.

How long do we have to wait?

As long as necessary.

Just stay calm and wait
for them to make a move.Oh, funny.

That never worked
with my ex-wife.

What? It was funny.

Chief Cooper, LAPD. This Austin?

No one comes in.

Leave us alone,
or people will get hurt.

Hamilton Peet.

He won a special
election last month.

He's a former cop, right?

For ten, 12 years.

He represents the 17th district,
which is heavily Valley.

White, conservative.

Leakey campaigned with him.

They're old friends.

Vanessa Cordero. 20th district.

Uh, runs from downtown
through East L.A.

She's up for reelection
next year.

What's her district like?A lot of working class.

Korea and Latinx.

She's a rising star on the left.

Was a community organizer
before she ran for office.

These guys could not be
more different,

and yet I have
to convince them both

to vote for this measure
by 5:00 p.m.

If you'll give me a chance,
I think I can bring her around.

How?
She's running
for reelection.

It's political,
as far as she's concerned.

I can talk to that.

I can do more for you
than write speeches.

Hello? Hi.

I'm Ashley Kim, tech specialist.

I used to work for Decker,
but he's gone,

so I'm leading
the department right now.What's up?

We ran Austin Blaine's phone,
and he made a call

to his parents
just before the chase started.

Has anyone tried calling
Blaine's parents?

I wanted to check
with you first.

Do you have their
number and address?

Yeah, right here.

Analog. I hear
that's what you prefer.

Yes. Thank you.Okay.

All right.
There is no way

I'm gonna get to both
of these people today.

Do you really think
you can turn Cordero?

Absolutely.

All right, go ahead.

Hey. Cooper.

Yes. I've got something.

Copy that.

Boss wants you to go
to Blaine's parents' house.

I'll text you
the address.

On it.

As the scene develops,

we will bring you
the latest updates.

Hey, Blake? Blake, can I
talk to you for a second?

Uh, yeah. What's up?

You know Lydia?

Yeah. She's a pain in the ass.And normally

I wouldn't snitch, but...What's going on?

I think she's made contact
with one of the hostages.

She's talking to somebody,
and it sounds like

she wants her to appear
live on her site.

Wells, get Chief Cooper,
and-and get him here right now.All right.

Okay, where is she?

Okay, Evelyn,
what else can you see?

From right where you are.

Lydia?

Hold on a sec.Who are you talking to?

None of your business.

Do you have a direct
line to a hostage?

You have no right
to interfere. Leave me alone.

I'm here. I'm here.

Please surrender
your phone to me

before I ask SWAT to take it.

I get that
people like you

aren't motivated
by a conscience,

but how are you gonna feel
when people actually get killed

for your 50,000 likes?

You can't do anything to me.

I'm leaving.

I could arrest you.For what?

Everything I can think of.

Give me the phone.

This is...

This is Chief Cooper, LAPD.
Who is this?

Evelyn.

Evelyn, are you all right?

Yeah. I mean, scared.

I'm sure you are.

I just want to ask you
a couple of questions,

and then I want you to turn off
the phone and hang up.

Who are you talking to?

Give me that.

This is Austin Blaine.

If you want to talk to somebody,
you talk to me.

This is Donn Cooper.

I'm glad that
we're getting a chance to...

No, I'm the one who talks.

Okay. Talk to me.

I am a great businessman,
and I have been disrespected.

It's not okay.

I understand.
Uh, what do you need?

More than
your understanding, bro.

Bring me $376,000 and a car.

Okay, we can, uh...

Or I start killing people.

You have one hour.

$376,000?

That's a pretty specific number.

What do you think it is?

Don't know,
but it would help to find out.

All right, well,
I'll have the techs dig in,

see if they can find
any connection.

Ma'am, Blaine's
erratic and unstable.

Maybe we shouldn't wait
this one out.

There are a lot of people
at risk in there.

Let's give him some time
and see what happens

when reality sets in.

Well, from what I've heard about
this guy, reality often doesn't.

So, he's given us an hour.

Wisdom says let's wait it out
and then see what happens.

And if it look like he's
really gonna hurt somebody,

then, Johnson, your guys
are gonna have to take him.

We're ready.

Anything from Councilman Peet?

Tried three times.

His secretary
just says he's out.

I know, it's 2020

people want to be reached,
you can reach them.

So keep trying.
Make yourself obnoxious.

My pleasure.

Thanks for agreeing
to see me, Councilwoman.

I was a little surprised
you called.

You work
with Chief Thomas.

Is this about
her recruitment proposal?

Yeah. We would like you
to support it.

Why would I do that?

You're up for reelection.

Public safety is
a winning electoral argument.

Uh...

lower crime rates,
safer streets.

People respond to those.In Hancock Park.

Pacific Palisades.

Upper-class white neighborhoods.

Not in my district.

Our problem is
over-policing.

Oh, I-I understand...Some people

in my district are scared
of people in uniform.

They're worried
about being deported.You know LAPD

has nothing to do with
immigration enforcement.

A uniform's a uniform.

Besides, my district has filed

hundreds
of racial profiling claims.

Which is why the proposal
also funds retraining

and recruitment
from diverse backgrounds.

Diversity's great.

But real change comes
from diversity at the top.I understand.

But I don't think you appreciate
what the proposal does.

And I am not leaving here
until I get you to yes.

Unless that is rude.

I mean, I'm
not saying

that I'm gonna, like,
occupy your office or anything.

Obviously.

Mr. Rosey, I appreciate your...

passion.

But it's no.

So?
I went from
obnoxious

to outright rude
didn't work.

This man Peet does not
want to talk to you.

Who do you know at
the Parking Enforcement Bureau?

Can I help you?Robert Blaine?

Yeah.

Abnar Diaz.
I'm with the LAPD.

I'm here to talk to you
about your son Austin.

Can I come in?

Um, I-I'm afraid
we're too busy right now.

Too busy?If you'll excuse me.

Mr. Blaine, you know
how much trouble your son is in?

I'm trying to help him.

You want to talk to me.

Fine.

My wife Janice.

How do you do?
I'm pretty
good, thanks.

What's this about?

Your son made a call to
the house this morning

around 7:30, spoke
to one of you?

Mm... no, there was no call.

Yeah, there was.

No, I'm afraid you're mistaken.
There was no call.

Why isn't your TV on?

What do you mean?

Whole city's watching your son
on television.

Yours isn't on.

Haven't asked me once about
how your son is doing.

Now you're
lying to me,

because I know he called.

What's this all about?

Come on, now.

I can't do it.Don't.

Austin called to say he
was coming back to the house.

He said that there was
another man in the car

and not to ask questions,
because...

...because he was
being held at gunpoint.

He told us not to contact the
police under any circumstances.

Do you think they're
telling the truth?

They're too freaked out
to be making it up.

So, somebody kidnapped Blaine,
and they were taking him

back to the house
when they ran a red.

So why were they heading
back to the house?

There are rumors
that Austin stole cash

when his assets were seized.

Maybe it's here.

All right, I'll get a warrant,

and I'll send a team
to search the place.

You stay there,
see if you can get

anything else
out of the parents.Okay.

Can you get Judge Keyes
on the phone?

I need a warrant.

Cordero's a no.

Pretty firm. I was thinking
we could strategize

some other ways to approach her.Ken, you said
you could handle it.

I can.Well, asking for help
is not handling it.

Asking for help
is asking for help.

I'll handle it.Good.

Hi. Yes.
Judge Keyes?

Police have cordoned off
this corner

where people are
usually seen walking.

My wife can't watch.

She went upstairs.

His mother and I
feel horrible.

And Austin, he...

he feels guilty, too.

Uh, that's what people
don't understand.

Never goes anywhere.

Too depressed.

He been staying in a lot?

All the time.

Where does he hang
when he's here?

He's down in the basement
all day,

playing his arcade games.

Whoa.

Hey, boss, I hit the jackpot.

Thanks.

They're still counting, but it
looks like more than $2 million.

So, Blaine's a hostage, too.

If the other guy's
calling the shots

and he's using Blaine
as a mouthpiece,

let's talk to him. Once we find out who he is,

we'll talk to him.Gonna say

something soon
hour's up in 17 minutes.

Hello?

Is this okay?

If you can't talk, I understand.

No, I got a minute. Barely.

I know what it's like
when a day catches fire.

Although with me, it's usually
because a wide receiver

got arrested in Vegas
with a hooker.

That's not exactly
what you're dealing with.

I just... I just wanted to say,
if you can't make tonight,

it's no problem
we'll just do it another time.

No, I'm hoping we can.

Let's just, um, you know,
see where the day goes.

Sounds good.
And, uh...

I'm not a half-bad negotiator,
if you need any help.

All right, well,
my people are pretty solid,

but I will keep you in mind.

All right,
I'll talk to you later. I hope.

Okay.

Boss?

I think I have an I.D.
on the second guy.

Nothing turned up in the
database of the festival

for $376,000, so
I checked to see

if there were any vendors
whose losses added up to that.

Smart.Yeah, I thought so.

I found this guy.

Fred Stint.
Runs a catering business.

Ran it, actually.
It went under.

He was making food for workers
in Baja who were trying

to build Blaine's
festival stage and whatnot.

According to the lawsuit,

Blaine kept promising to pay
and never did.

He's owed $376,000.

Mm-hmm.And this is the image

the security camera got
outside the restaurant.

That's him.

Any family?A wife in Van Nuys.

All right,
we need to talk to her.

Get as much information
as you can on this guy

and send it to
Cooper right away.

Good work.

So, Stint kidnaps Blaine,

planning to get some money
out of him.

And Blaine's driving
nervously, he runs a red.

Next thing they know,
LAPD is on 'em.

You don't take
hostages by accident.

I'm telling you, this guy
did not wake up this morning

planning to be in there.

What's it matter?
He's there now.

Hello.

Hour's up.
Where's the money and the car?

Austin, let me talk to Fred.

Who's that?

I want to talk to Fred Stint.

Put him on the phone.

They want to
talk to you.

They know.

Dude, you have
to end this.

Yeah?

Fred, this is Chief Cooper.
How are you?

Okay.

And how about those people
in there?

Everybody all right?
Anyone hurt?

They're fine.
Where's the money?

We're working on it.

I know you have food and water.

Anything else you need?

No. Uh-uh. No.

Don't act tough, all right?
That's not the move.Shut up.

Shut up!

Where's the money?

Like I said,
we're working on it.

But about those people
in there with you

they're a lot to keep an eye on.

You sure you don't want
to let some of them out?

No. Uh-uh. No.

You got Evelyn, Javi,
Rodrigo and James, right?

They got nothing
to do with this.

Well, they're kitchen workers,

like the people
that worked for you.

I bet they're tired and scared.

You don't want them hurt.

Just send some of them out.

It's easier all around.

Look...

I'm trying
to help you here, Fred.

Just listen
to him, okay?

No! No, you're not!

You're trying
to manipulate me

to do what you want me to do.

What, you think I don't know
what that sounds like?!

Bring me the money,
or people start dying!

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Okay, okay, okay, okay,
okay, okay! Stop, stop!

Stop, stop, stop, stop! Just...
just wait. Listen. Okay. Okay.

Please just stop.

Stop. Stop.

Move, move.

Okay, this way.
Come on. Come on.

It's safe, man.
Let's go. Move, move.

The press are gonna be
all over this. Do you need me?

No, you go.Right.

You did a great thing, Fred.

Good for you, man.

Okay. They're out.

Now, I want you
to transfer the money

into an account
in my wife's name.

Your wife's account?

That's right.

Or I kill Blaine.

Now I'm worried.

He didn't ask for a car.

So?

He doesn't need it anymore.

He thinks he's gonna die.

This is Councilman
Harrison Peet.

Tell Chief Thomas
she has my attention.

I'm sorry
about the boot.

Was running out of time,
the vote is tonight,

but you know that
because you're voting.

I guess I should
pay my tickets.

So you used
to be a cop.Mm-hmm.

You know how much
we need new officers.

What is your problem
with this proposal?

500 new cops is a good thing
if they're good cops.

That's what the
academy is for.

Your bill's not
about 500 new cops.

It's a diversity bill.
It's about a political agenda.

You can't police a
community without members

of that community
to help police it.

A good cop's a good cop.

It's got nothing to do
with race or ethnicity.

"Recruitment is down for
police departments all over.

"Outreach to broader pools
of officers is the best way

for departments to
grow and flourish."

That was you two years ago.

Why are you killing
this proposal?

Does loyalty mean something
to you, Chief?

Loyalty to who?Milt Leakey.

He is the reason
I'm on the council.

He got cops to vote for me,
they put me over the top.

He also helped me get
my kid into rehab.

I owe Milt a lot.

When Leakey was chief,
hetried to get more cops.

He wanted the same thing.Yeah.

And if you're able to get 'em

when he couldn't,
that's an embarrassment.

Did, did Leakey

put you up to this?
You're voting no

because if he couldn't do it,
I shouldn't

be able to, either?
What-what is that?

Bottom line, I'm a no,

unless Milt Leakey
tells me otherwise.

Maybe I should propose

"coffee with a cop"
in Cordero's district.

Maybe.

We could throw a big event
for the community.

If they don't like cops,

they probably don't want
the cops holding a fiesta.

It's a hard day all around.

I have to tell that
nice candidate in there

for the police commission
that she needs to go home

because there's no way

the chief's gonna find time
to talk to her.

The police commission?

There's a vacancy
on the police commission.

Lora Stint?

Chief Cooper.
Thanks for coming.

I came as soon as I heard.

How's Fred? Is he all right?

He's not injured.Good.

What can I do?

Well, anything you can tell
me about him would help.

Okay, um, Fred

he's actually
a very responsible person.

When the,
when the festival fell apart,

and there was
no money was coming in,

he actually made sure

that he paid everybody,
all the vendors.

I just think he didn't realize
how much it would hurt.

He lost the business,
we lost our home.

He just...

he feels like a loser.

Like he's lost
all his dignity.

I think he feels
he has nothing left.

He needs to talk
to someone he loves.

Tell me what to say,
tell me how to try to...

Just tell him you love him.

You don't have
to think too hard.

Just say what's in your heart.

I can do that.And if-if he asks

if money's been transferred
into your account, say it has.

Has it?

Say it has.

For him.

Look, I'm not gonna tell you

voting for the proposal will
change the nature of conflict

between underserved communities
like yours and the LAPD,

but that doesn't mean
it's not worth doing.

I just don't think
it does enough.

What if we could
do more? I've spoken

with the chief and
the mayor's office.

We can offer you a seat
on the police commission.

So I'm one voice
on a commission.

Where you can speak and
people will hear you.

About the profiling claims
and the issues with uniforms.

It's something,
which is better than nothing,

which is what will happen
if the proposal fails.

You know, the LAPD has never
asked my support before.

Oh.

I'm sorry?

And here you are, coming
to see me twice in one day.

And you're right
it is something.

Okay.

You have my yes.

Wait.

Uh, seriously?

I'm...

That is so great.Yeah.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. I should
stop, shouldn't I? Um...

Okay.

Yeah?

It's Chief Cooper, Fred.

Lora's here. Will
you talk to her?

My wife?

Hi, baby.

Hey.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm, uh...

Yeah.

Let me take you out of here.

I know you don't want to hurt
anybody. Let's just go home.

Did they transfer the money
into your account?

Did they do that?

Yeah, they did.

No, they didn't.

They did.

I swear.

It's okay. Um...

They were never going to.

Um, I get it.

It's over.

Nothing is over!
Freddy, please!

We still have each other.

I'm sorry.

Don't say that, please.

I wish that, um,

you didn't see any of this.
I wish...

Buddy. Baby, please.

I love you.

Goodbye.

Freddy! Freddy! No! No!Ma'am.

Sorry about that.

So, I met
with Councilman Peet today.

Ah, great guy. The best.

He's against my proposal to the
city council for more officers.

Ham's an independent,
maverick.

Cut the crap, Milt.
We both know why he's doing it.

So, what do you want so you will
tell him to vote for it?

What do I want?

Well, I want my life back.

I'm a troll under a bridge
ever since I left this place.

I want my reputation repaired.

There's only so much I can do
in regard to that.

But you want me to bring you
back into the conversation,

demonstrate that the department
values your contribution...

No, no, no, no.

I want much more than that.

I did a favor
for you

with the Guzman case.

I let you back in here,

let you speak to the press.

This is much bigger.

I want an office
in the building.

Not stuck
in some oddball corner.

Main corridor.

A position.

Executive Consulting...
something.

When the budget
measure does pass,

I want credit.

I've been barking after this

long before you waltzed
into town.

And when it does pass, you and I

are gonna have
a very frank conversation

about these diversity
provisions.

You're all round the bend
on this stuff.

Did you hear about this hostage
thing we got going on today?

Yeah. Good luck.

Yeah. They're
a mess.

Yeah.

It makes you think.

What you are willing to trade
to get what you want.

Peet doesn't vote
for your measure,

it doesn't pass.

That's right.

Wa-Wa-Wait.
Wait a minute.

You're saying no?

That's right.

I got to get down
to the crime scene.

Oh, you are welcome to stay here
as long as you like.

It's, uh
it's right on the main corridor.

You really think
Stint is a threat to himself?

Look, my guys
can take him.

But if he's suicidal and
he wants to kill Blaine,

it'd be impossible
to stop him.

I think we should try
to talk to him again.

Doubt we can get him
on the phone.

Let's do it face-to-face.
I'll go in.

Don't know about that, Chief.

We-We're trying
to get his attention, right?

Best way is a new face.

I don't know how we'd guarantee
your safety, ma'am.

We'll figure something out.

Fred!

It's Abigail Thomas,

chief of police.

Can we talk?

We won't shoot unless you do!

You have my word!

Don't worry, Austin.

Everything's gonna
be all right.

What do you want?

Well, I thought you
should know, Fred, that,

because of you, we found
$2 million that Austin stole.

It was in a, uh, pool table
at his parents' house.

You got to be kidding me.

I wish I could tell you
that you get the money,

but you don't.

It's all going into a fund

to make good everybody who
lost money on the festival.

We wouldn't have found the money
without you, Fred.

That was your doing.

But whether you live
or die today,

that's your decision.

But before you make it,

I would like you to think about
what you made possible today.

Your wife she's still here.

She very much wants
to see you alive.

All right. Let's go back.

Hands in the air!

Hands!

Come forward!
Come forward right now!

Hands on top
of your head!

All in a day's work.

Amen.

No, Ken, listen, you did great.

You got the vote.

Unfortunately, we needed both.

This is on me, not you.

Well, what now?

You know, we keep working.

We make inroads
into the communities,

we make better connections
with the council people

and, you know,
we'll pass it when we can.

Okay.

Ken, you're right.

You can do more
than write speeches.

And we'll get this eventually.

Thanks, Chief.

Hey.

Come on in.

I, um I wanted
to say thanks

for helping
with Lydia.

Uh, if you hadn't
said something,

that would have been
a disaster today.

No problem.

What's up?

Remember when you asked me
to look into Arturo Lopez?

Yeah, uh, you said
nothing came of that.

Nothing did.

But Sheriff just released his
report on the death yesterday.

Said Lopez was killed
for being a pedophile.

Which is what
everybody said, right?

Well, I went to talk,

uh, to the family of...

one of the guys
who killed him.

And I was thinking of
doing a story about, like,

lives intersecting,
blah, blah, blah.

Turns out, they are
living in a new townhome.

An expensive one.

I mean, like, really nice.

Not the kind of place you
would expect to find them in.

Just got in, apparently.

And when I asked
them how, they...

threw me out.

So you think
you think the new townhome

was payment
for killing Arturo?

From who?

I don't know.

But I want to find out.

Why are you telling me this?

You know I always like
telling you things, Blake.

Besides, if anything happens,

somebody should know.

Nothing's gonna happen to you.

Okay?

All right.

See you.

The octopus here is

almost as good as the
Adriatic.

Aren't they supposed to be,
like, really smart?

My daughter won't even eat 'em.

Daniel. Baby.

Hey. We missed you in Big Sur.

I hate myself for not being
there, but my doctor says

I need a break.You missed out.

The ayahuasca was amazing.

Allow me to introduce
to you Abigail Thomas,

our chief of police.

Hello, Daniel. Hello...

Jojo.Jojo.

Yeah, I'm on a
date with a cop.

And lucky for both of you

uh, and you, too,
probably, Jojo

I didn't hear a thing
about ayahuasca.

Nice to see you.

Yeah.

Sorry about that.

Someone you know
over there?

Yes.

It is my predecessor Milt Leakey

and...

the deputy mayor.

I know it sounds paranoid,

but I think they
are conspiring against me.

Wow.

How awkward for them
that you're here.

Should we send over a
bottle of champagne?

No.

Ineed the bottle of champagne.

Quickly.

I had a great time.

I'd love to
see you again.

I think
we should be friends.

I like to think of friendship
as a foundation for dating.

I used to work in Narcotics.

Like, I'm-I'm literally
a Narc.

I don't know
that I'm your type.

Why don't you let me worry
about that?

We don't have anything
in common.

Sure, we do.

There's no chemistry.

You sure about that?

Well...

even so.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Hi, guys.

Tommy.

I'm not wearing...

pants.Yeah.

Mm. Okay.

I'm gonna
I'll look down.

The, um...

the talk didn't go as planned.

Thank you for telling me
to be honest.

I love you.
