If I may have your attention for a moment.

Previously on "The Rookie"...

I am proud to announce that my rookie

has reached the capacity of solo beat officer.

Being Detective Harper is easier than being mama.

Or missus.

That one is really tough right now.

The constant arguing over policing is wearing me out.

Does anybody else smell smoke?

- Ahh! - What's going on?

Pick up the fire shelter.

Have you ever used one of those?

Saw it on YouTube once.

Gloucester's here.

You here to help volunteer?

Get lost. I'm talking to Kylie.

He's with the Sixth Street Devils.

Let me help you.

I have to tell Harper.

I would give James a chance to come clean first.

Down! Down! Get down!

I need a big piece of plastic!

Get any piece of cloth and hold it on James's wound.

Hurry!

Yeah.

- James was shot. - Say... say again?

There was a drive-by at the shelter,

and they got James. It's bad.

It's... it's... it's really bad.

Yeah.

Oof, I still smell like a trash fire.

I think we need to go to Wi Spa and get a salt scrub.

Ooh, and manicures.

My nails are a mess.

Everyone decent?

Yeah, we're clocked out.

Whatever it is, get Midnights to do it.

What happened?

It's James.

Sorry.

What are we supposed to do with these?

Inhale, keep the yellow ball in place.

It's supposed to help repair your lungs.

Does it work?

No idea.

GSWs, rib cage and upper torso.

Pressure dressings are in place.

Started a 16-gauge in the AC

and gave 800 milliliters of saline.

- That's James. - Yeah.

Right here. Lock the wheels.

And...

I got this end.

- Already here. - Steady.

Yep. Watch the lines.

On three.

One, two, three.

ABCs for our male victim.

Airways are clear.

Breathing's adequate with O2. Pulse is thready.

Estimated blood loss on scene is 900 ccs.

OK, trauma surgeon?

- Set up in OR one. - Yes, Doctor.

Double gunshot wound to upper torso and rib cage.

The bullet's still inside.

- Where's that Type O? - Coming.

- Spiking Type O. - You're gonna be OK.

- You're gonna be OK. - Vitals.

Heart rate 120, BP 138 over 92, respiration's 20.

28-year-old female, GSW to the torso

with sucking chest wound,

treated with three-sided dressing.

Hey, what the hell happened?

Drive-by.

Where is he?

They just pushed him into the ER.

Is it bad?

Yeah.

Hey, baby. I'm here. I'm here.

- Let's get him to the OR. - You're going to be fine, OK?

You're going to be fine.

- He's in good hands. - Mm-hmm.

- OK? - Mm-hmm.

Who is she?

Um... uh...

Kylie something.

She works at the community center with James.

Are they close?

I don't know.

Come here.

Oh, God.

- Synced and corrected by synk - - www.addic7ed.com -

Hey.

It's not great, but it's all they had.

Kids are squared away. Lila's with Donovan.

The boys are with their mom,

and Leah can stay with Lopez as long as you need.

- What do they know? - Nothing yet.

That can wait till tomorrow.

OK.

Hey, um, he looked really bad.

Yeah.

Like, I don't know if I've seen anyone survive

those kind of injuries.

I have, a couple times.

OK.

I think you're lying to me, but I don't mind.

The doctors here are amazing.

He's gonna be OK.

Right, right.

Now, listen, half the station's milling about outside.

If you need anything, they're all eager to help.

Who is the lead investigator?

Angela.

Good, 'cause what I need

is for whoever did this to be behind bars.

They will be.

What?

Nothing.

Hey, any word?

No, not yet.

Do you need anything?

Nothing that you can give me.

Yeah.

- I need to steal Nolan. - That's fine.

I will be here.

I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

We're still processing the reunification center,

but we can confirm the shooter is Connor Lowe.

Why is that name familiar?

He's a member of the Sixth Street Devils.

We've got units kicking in doors as we speak.

So far, no sign of him.

He shot a cop's husband.

If he has any sense, he's halfway to Mexico.

We're checking known associates.

His face is out to every law enforcement agency in the state.

He can't hide for long.

Any theories on motive?

The other victim, Kylie Thomas, came up in the same neighborhood,

used to run with the same crowd.

Lately, she's been spending more time

at the community center, getting herself squared away.

Maybe the gang saw James as a threat.

They've done worse for less.

There's another motive we need to explore...

jealousy.

There's evidence that James and Kylie

were more than friends.

What evidence?

Yesterday, at the reunification center,

I saw James and Kylie kiss.

Are you sure?

Yes.

You're wrong. James wouldn't cheat.

Now, you have to admit,

Harper and James have been fighting a lot recently.

They've been fighting since the day they met.

Yeah.

In my head, that was a better counterargument.

The defense will argue that Harper knew about the affair...

Now it's an affair?

And had Connor kill her husband

and his mistress.

Oh, that's a stretch.

The jury is supposed to believe that

she trusted some random criminal to get the job done?

They didn't even know each other.

Harper arrested Connor 18 months ago on a gun charge.

Wait, how long have you known about the kiss?

- A few hours. - Hours?

During which the world was on fire.

OK, OK, enough.

Wesley's right.

Harper's the spouse.

She's automatically a suspect.

I'll handle the investigation into her involvement.

The best way to prove that she's innocent

is to find Connor and get a confession.

On it.

Uh, I got to get to the office.

The DA wants a briefing.

- We'll keep you updated. - OK.

Where do you want me?

With me.

And Nolan,

you cannot tell Harper what you saw.

She's a suspect.

I decide when and what she knows.

Understood.

I need to talk to Harper.

Then we'll head out.

Yes, sir.

Hey, I got here as fast as we could.

- How's James? - We don't know yet.

I heard you got the fire contained.

Yeah, we got lucky with the winds.

Does Harper need anything?

Are you OK?

It's just a headache.

You need to get some rest.

Oh, jeez, hey! Bailey?

Can I get some help here?

- What happened? - I don't know.

She just passed out.

Easy.

There you go.

Hey, I leaned on a few CIs.

I think we have a motive for the shooting.

Kylie works at The Phoenix Room.

Wasn't there a murder there last week?

A member of the Rolling 60s was shot and killed outside.

We confirmed with the manager, Kylie was there that night.

And you think she saw something?

Tracks with the altercation yesterday.

Connor tried to intimidate her.

Whatever she said made him think

she was going to talk, so he came back to silence her.

So James was never a target.

Did we ever think he was?

Anything's possible.

I need you two out there looking for Connor.

You got it.

- Any news? - No.

But there's something we need to discuss.

We've identified the shooter, but the motive is unclear.

So you have to rule me out.

Right?

Maybe I got tired of James leaving the seat up

and I had him killed.

Look, I know this is hard.

No, it's fine. I'm the wife. I get it.

And I will sign any consent to search forms

and anything else you need.

I appreciate it.

Hey, how are you holding up?

I can't remember the last thing I said to him.

It's like I...

I was so focused on getting Glasser,

we barely even saw each other these last couple weeks.

You're going to say everything you need to when he wakes up.

What happened?

It's nothing.

She almost died.

I was a little dehydrated.

"Dangerously dehydrated" is what the doctor said.

They exaggerate.

You are an EMT.

You should know better.

Well, there was a lot going on,

and there's still a lot going on.

Why are you two even here?

Well, me, my wife almost died, so...

I was a little lightheaded.

He's supposed to be with Grey.

You should go. I've got this.

- Really. - OK.

If she tries to discharge herself...

I will physically detain her.

- All right. - I'm right here.

I can hear you.

You rest.

The city will get by without you.

- Will it? - Yeah, we'll muddle through.

Thank you. Call me with anything.

Oh, OK, well, we should get you a room.

No, I'm fine out here.

There are so many people injured worse than me.

You were there when it happened, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I went outside when I heard the shots, but...

I, uh...

I went to Kylie first, the other victim.

Yeah, she was in worse shape, so I started helping her.

Well, that's what you're supposed to do.

Yeah, but James is one of us.

If he dies because of those seconds I was with her

and not him...

I've been there.

When every second counts,

you rethink every tiny move you made.

But you did the right thing.

James is going to be OK.

Yeah.

Do you remember when we danced at their wedding?

Of course.

You wore that dress with the, um...

The sleeves?

I was going to say the shiny stuff.

Right, very... that's very astute.

You looked amazing.

All units, be advised.

Citizen reports a possible suspect Connor Lowe's vehicle.

Northbound Pico at 26th one minute ago.

- Any unit in the area? - 7-Adam-100.

We're right around the corner. Attach.

Control, 7-Adam-100.

We have suspect vehicle 26th at Lester.

He's going to run when we light him up.

We're not going to light him up. He's going to run if we do.

Get us a few more units out here.

Code-3.

He spotted us. He's picking up speed.

He's running.

Control, 7-Adam-100 is in pursuit.

Southbound Vermont, speed 60, light traffic.

Where's the nearest unit?

7-Adam-20 is coming Code-3 from Sterling.

Looks about four out.

Speed approaching 70, and we're Eastbound Washington at 44th.

Oh, truck, truck.

We lost visual. Standby.

He's 100 yards out.

Correction, suspect vehicle is making a right onto Carson.

I gotta close the distance.

Tim!

- Watch it! - Jeez.

Dude hit the old lady.

7-Adam-100, suspect has hit a pedestrian,

70-year-old female, broken leg,

compound, bone exposed.

We need an RA to Carson and Alhambra.

Going with the victim now.

- I'm grabbing the first aid kit. - OK. We're here, ma'am.

We're here. Ambulance is on the way. OK?

I need a belt. I need a belt to tourniquet.

Hand me... you have a belt? Thanks.

All right. Anyone see which way he went?

Anyone?

Vehicle versus pedestrian. She was bleeding out.

No c-spine tenderness or step-offs. We scooped her up rather than wait.

Good move.

She's in hemorrhagic shock.

Get those IVs started.

We need emergency release blood.

Who's going to tell Grey that we had Connor Lowe

in our sights and we lost him?

Maybe lead with the part that we saved an old woman's life.

Clear.

She's not safe yet.

Copy that. Update the BOLO to include vehicular assault.

Connor Lowe struck a pedestrian

and fled the scene.

He's currently at large.

Are you OK?

I know that searching James and Harper's house is protocol.

Doesn't mean I'm going to like it.

Especially since the only reason

the spotlight is on Harper in the first place

is because I saw something I shouldn't have.

See, you can't unring that bell, Nolan.

Best just to push forward and get this done as quickly

and efficiently as possible.

What? You find something?

Maybe, but nothing to do with the shooting.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is James

palling around with Leonard Kelce.

He's an anti-police extremist.

Kelce does more than just protest.

He has a warrant for his arrest for burning up

a bunch of cop cars in December.

And this photo was taken six weeks ago,

which means James invited a known fugitive into his home.

Then Harper has a whole new problem to deal with.

'Sup, girl?

How you livin'?

Oh, me?

I'm just hydrating.

That's quite the bandage you have there.

Yeah, wildfire cooked up me and my boy.

I'm just trying to get some oxy from Nurse Foxy

so we can bounce.

You know what I mean?

You know, when...

when I'm fixed, I can slip you one if you want.

My mama taught me to share.

You're looking for painkillers?

Yo, check out my arm, yo.

What about him?

Smoke inhalation made him nauseous.

Hmm.

All right.

Oh, hey.

I told Nolan I'd check in on you,

but I don't want to hover.

I'm just waiting for my IV to drain.

But can you do me a favor?

Sure thing.

These two guys across from me,

one said he was burned in the fire

and that the other was feeling nausea

from smoke inhalation.

OK.

Except he's lying.

Nausea comes from low oxygen.

But he's at a 98%, which is normal.

And the burns?

More consistent with acid,

hydroiodic or hypophosphorous acid, to be specific.

- Hypo-what? - Hypophosphorous.

It's an acid byproduct that's created

when you cook meth and get sprayed.

OK, if they were injured doing something illegal,

why are they hanging out here?

Because they're waiting around to score pain meds.

I think they figured with all the fire injuries,

no one would notice the difference.

Well, damn, first case as a P2.

I'm going to locate their lab

and have narcotics enforcement take it down.

- All right, keep me posted. - Lopez.

Bye.

Any news on Connor?

Patrol found his car abandoned in Hollywood.

We're sending extra units to search now that he's on foot.

Kylie's in surgery, but it doesn't look good.

And still no updates on James' condition.

I know you didn't find anything at that house

connecting Nyla to Connor, but please give me

that good news officially, because I need some right now.

What is it?

Is that Leonard Kelce?

Taken at Harper's house.

This is bad.

I'm going to reach out to North Hollywood,

see where they stand on the case.

Look, I don't need to tell you that we need

to keep this between us for the moment.

The list of things I'm not telling my partner

and best friend just keeps getting longer.

How else can this day go wrong?

Well, I can think of a couple ways.

Hey.

When were you planning on telling me about this?

The photo of James and Leonard Kelce

was listed in our search warrant receipt.

I'm assuming that's how you learned of it.

I would have appreciated a phone call.

I didn't realize you were taking over for Wesley.

Yeah, Wesley recused himself because he's, you know,

too close, obviously.

Obviously.

Look, James's relationship with Leonard Kelce,

while concerning,

is not relevant to our shooting investigation.

What about the investigation into Detective Harper?

You know as well as I do there's nothing there.

Oh, careful, Wade.

Don't let your confirmation bias

drag you into a conclusion too quickly.

I resent the implication.

Detective Harper has a relationship with Connor Lowe.

She arrested him on a gun charge.

- They're not friends. - Yeah, maybe not.

But her husband is palling around with anti-police fringe

and wanted fugitives, not to mention

making out with a woman 20 years his junior.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

There's only evidence of a single kiss.

All I'm saying is maybe Detective Harper

got tired of cleaning up her husband's messes,

thought it'd be easier with him gone.

All it would take is a phone call to Connor.

All her problems would be over.

I think your theory is garbage.

But we are following every lead,

crossing every T and dotting every I.

See that you do,

because I'm eyes-on this investigation.

We'll make sure this department isn't any more compromised

than it already is.

I got a call that my mother was in some kind of accident.

Her name is Shirley Van Walden.

V-A-N space...

Excuse me. Hi.

Are you Mrs. Van Walden's daughter?

I am. Who are you?

I'm Sergeant Bradford. This is Officer Chen.

We responded to your mother's accident.

She was in a crosswalk, and she was struck by a motorist.

Oh, my God. Is she all right?

She has glaucoma, so her eyesight isn't very good,

and she's on blood thinners.

Here, I brought all of her medica...

Wait, is she...

They were able to resuscitate her.

They did have to put her on a ventilator to help her breathe.

She has a DNR.

That's something for you to discuss with the doctors.

Now, that said, they don't think she'll survive

when she's removed from life support.

Can I see her?

- Yes, of course. - Yeah.

This way.

Oh. A.D.A. Eckert.

Detective, how you holding up?

As well as can be expected.

But this is not a sympathy call.

No, I'm afraid not.

Have you seen this before?

No. And how did you get it?

It was discovered during the search of your house.

Does your husband know where Leonard Kelce may be hiding?

I have no idea, and you know what?

You can ask him yourself when he wakes up.

But you acknowledge that he might be keeping secrets from you?

What is this about?

'Cause as far as I know,

James was in the wrong place at the wrong time,

and Kylie was the target.

Yeah, he seemed pretty certain about that.

But how well does your husband know Kylie Thomas?

If you are implying something...

We have a witness who saw your husband

and Kylie Thomas sharing a very intimate moment

just hours before the shooting.

What... what do you mean "intimate"?

I mean they were clearly more than just good friends.

Are you saying that you know nothing about that either?

OK, I am not answering any more questions

without my union rep, John Nolan.

Well, that's going to be difficult,

because Officer Nolan is the one who found

the photograph at your house,

and he is also the witness who saw your husband kissing Kylie Thomas.

What's going on here?

Detective Harper and I were just having a little chat.

More like an interrogation.

Vivian, a word in the hall, please.

- Look, I wasn't trying... - Now.

Just what the hell do you think you're doing?

You cannot question one of my officers

without following protocol.

There are rules.

I am not questioning her.

I'm just simply trying to determine how much she knows about the facts.

Did you read her the Miranda rights

or the Lybarger Warning?

Did you advise her that this could lead to discipline?

Exactly which section

of the Peace Officer's Bill of Rights didn't you trample on?

The part that says that officers are held to a higher standard.

Mid-Wilshire is fresh off a corruption scandal.

And it's not your first.

And then Detective Harper's husband is mysteriously

gunned down with his lover?

Now we find out they're harboring a fugitive?

- Come on. - You are...

you are misconstruing the facts, and you know it.

Yeah, you're blind to the facts.

You need to go in there and put her on admin leave,

or you're going to be the next cop I'm investigating.

Hey.

Walls are thin.

I'm not asking you to hand over...

You don't have to ask.

Here.

She's right. Appearances matter.

If we lose the trust of the public,

we lose everything.

I promise we'll get to the bottom of this.

You better, because I do not have a fallback career.

Sir?

Yeah.

Eckert said that James was engaged in

an "intimate moment"

with the girl that he was shot with, and...

It was a kiss.

Beyond that, I just don't know.

OK.

I got something on Kelce.

I tracked down the other two men in the photograph.

According to them, they are both adamant that Kelce is innocent.

- They got any proof? - No.

But they believe the fire was set by

a white supremacist militia group

intent on discrediting their movement.

Wouldn't be the first time.

Right.

Now, the kiss is a whole other thing,

but if Kelce is innocent,

then Vivian can't charge James with aiding and abetting

or Harper with fraternizing with a fugitive.

This was originally North Hollywood's case, right?

Yes, but near as I can tell, they decided

Kelce was guilty just based on his social media posts alone.

I mean, the guy talks a big game, but no history of violence.

Go back over their investigation.

Let me know as soon as you get anything tangible.

Yes, sir.

Are you OK?

That woman is about to lose her mother.

And for what?

Look, if you try to ascribe logic to evil, you'll drive yourself crazy.

I know.

It's just sometimes this job

just feels like we're screaming into the void,

like no matter how many bad guys we catch...

We can't protect the people we care about.

Should we check on Harper before we leave?

Yeah.

The clerk said that you're the officers

that brought in Shirley Van Walden.

- We are. - Are you a relative?

- I'm her daughter. - Oh, great.

OK, I'm not sure if your sister's had a chance to...

- I'm sorry... my sister? - Yeah.

I am that woman's one and only daughter.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

- Heather. - You know this woman?

This woman's my mother's maid.

I'm her caregiver.

Which doesn't give you the right to rob me.

Rob?

Do you have any idea what I've had to put up with

for the last seven years?

Your mother's hit me,

thrown things at me, spit at me.

Which is what we pay you for.

Well, it's not enough. I deserve this.

Ma'am, give me the rings.

You know, the last few times her mother was in the hospital,

she didn't even bother to show up.

I had to say I was Shirley's daughter

just so the doctors would talk to me.

OK, I'm afraid that doesn't matter.

You are committing a crime.

Put your hands behind your back.

I believe those are mine.

No, absolutely not.

Those still belong to your mother.

You can claim them alongside the rest of her possessions

if she passes away.

Is a doctor coming in?

'Cause my pain is maxing out that frowny face chart.

Right, Bradley?

Uh, yeah, sadly, not yet.

And I have more bad news.

See, when you both arrived,

you told the intake nurse that your injuries

came from your house burning down.

But according to our records,

you live 10 miles away from the fire.

I don't mean our house.

However, LAFD did report an explosion

less than a mile away from you,

and they determined it came from a meth lab.

- That's crazy. - Yeah.

You know, what's crazier is we ran tests

on samples taken from your burns,

and it's positive for hypophosphorous acid,

a byproduct of cooking...

you guessed it... methamphetamine.

You can tell that?

It's all right here.

Gentlemen, I'm going to have to arrest you both

for manufacturing a controlled substance,

unless you confess...

Yo, yo, yo, we didn't make any meth, I swear.

Yo, shut up, Bradley.

I'm serious.

We just robbed these guys.

Bro, seriously, you need to sh...

Uh, OK, now... now we really need a doctor.

Mind if I join you?

Any word on James?

They... they finished one surgery

and then started another.

And then during that surgery, they found something else was wrong.

And honestly, I am losing track of the things that are broken.

I know things are dark right now,

but you have to have faith.

Mm.

I know you know about the kiss.

I do.

And there's this fugitive photo.

Yeah.

Was James cheating on me?

Nyla...

Listen, I... I know that you guys

are best friends and you have your bro code,

but you are my friend too.

And I am losing my mind here.

I am as shocked as you are.

At the photo, not so much.

An activist on the run is the exact kind of person

James would invite home.

Kylie?

No.

Never talked about her.

And he never expressed anything but absolute devotion to you.

Thank you.

I know you're in hell right now.

You'll get through it.

I have something tangible.

This is video from the night of the firebombing.

You can see that's our suspect,

and you can see he has the sleeve of a gray sweatshirt.

Kelce was arrested wearing a gray sweatshirt, Nolan.

- This ain't helping. - Yes, sir. Bear with me.

You notice the Explorer police shop he's standing next to?

That is exactly 70 inches tall.

Kelce is 5'10".

If this was him, his head would be in the picture.

This suspect's at least 6'2".

Yes, sir. Then I saw this man.

He is wearing a black hoodie, but it has...

Gray sleeves.

- Who is he? - His name is Brock Shohausen.

6'2", 260 pounds.

Video shows him before the bombing with a backpack,

after the bombing without a backpack.

This was found at the scene of the crime.

It is the same backpack.

Shohausen, he has one, two, three, four, f...

six counts of assault on an officer

with great bodily injury?

I'll call a SWAT team to pick him up.

Sir, I may have a safer idea.

Is that money?

Yep.

I guess you weren't lying about the robbery.

Told you.

Is he going to be OK?

He should be fine once we get the foreign objects out.

Are you going to cut me open?

No. Take three of these every hour

until nature takes its course.

But be forewarned, it's going to hurt more

coming out than it did going in.

OK, let me get this straight.

You guys knock over a meth lab, take the cash,

accidentally spill chemicals on yourselves.

I mean, it makes sense in a way,

but why stick money up...

We heard sirens and panicked.

We?

You also have?

Yeah.

Doc, we're going to need more pills in here.

Mr. Shohausen, I'm Officer Nolan.

I'm the one who called you.

Where's my dad? Is he OK?

He's going to be all right.

I'll take you to him right now.

You know, your father is very lucky

that the men who mugged him weren't carrying guns.

My dad's not here, is he?

No, he's not.

He's at home with an officer, making sure he didn't

answer your phone calls because you are under arrest

for arson and detonating an explosive device.

These gentlemen are with the LAPD's MMA team.

So if you decide to fight,

well, let's just say it won't last long.

Smartest thing you've done all day.

Turn around.

Hands behind your back.

Hey.

I know you're a busy man, so I'll get right to the point.

Can't wait.

You and I have an aligned interest,

Connor Lowe.

You know him as "Widows."

What about him?

He shot a cop's husband.

And we both know that brings more attention than you can handle.

This thing is spiraling so far out of control,

it might even alert the Rolling 60s that

you guys were behind the Phoenix Room shooting.

I never heard of the place.

You're not paying attention.

I don't care about your beef with the 60s.

I just want to find Connor.

Why would I help you with that?

You need to take him off your board

before he makes another desperate move

and you have an all-out war on your hands.

Nolan, I've got a location on Connor Lowe.

- You want in? - Hell, yeah, I do.

Where am I going?

Well, I'll give him this.

Never in a million years would I have thought

to look for Connor here.

His cousin's security guard.

According to George, he's laying low

on the set of a TV show that's on hiatus.

- What show? - Don't know. Don't care.

What are the odds he's laying low unarmed?

Nil.

He's in there strapped and desperate. So heads on a swivel.

Police, show me your hands.

Connor's on the run, east side of the stage.

Police! Stop right there!

Drop it!

Connor!

Jeez!

- "Cop a Feel." - What?

The TV show set the Connor was hiding on.

It's a police psychiatrist drama, "Cop a Feel."

It's great.

Oh, OK.

I've never heard of that.

He just woke up.

He's groggy.

- OK. Thank you. - Mm-hmm.

If they let you in to see me,

that must be a good sign.

Um...

The doctor said the surgeries went well,

and they are cautiously optimistic about your recovery.

I'm so sorry I put you through all this.

It's not your fault that you got shot.

I know.

But I have to tell you something about Kylie.

We don't have to talk about that right now.

You need to get rest.

So you know about the kiss?

I told you.

Now is not the time.

Yes.

Yes, yes, it is.

Before the shooting, Kylie did kiss me.

I was surprised by it. and I did push away.

All right, I could tell that she was in trouble,

and I was just trying to help her.

Maybe I gave her the wrong idea.

But, Nyla...

I love you, and I am so sorry.

I would never hurt you.

I know.

I know everything at all times.

OK? Remember that.

Will do.

That's right, gentlemen. That's right.

Congratulations. I heard you got two arrests today.

Yeah.

You know, not bad for my first felony pinch as a P2.

Is that the money?

Yeah.

You want to know the worst part?

They thought this was 10 grand.

Turns out it's only 500.

Yeah, it's all small bills.

Doesn't seem worth the trouble.

Seriously.

Oh, I heard James is out of surgery.

Yes.

And Kylie is going to pull through as well.

They both have you to thank.

Two weeks in, and I'm already the best P2 ever.

Well, nobody said that.

It's in the subtext.

Is it, though?

Hey, you processed Sylvia?

Yeah.

She never stopped complaining about the abuse she put up with.

Honestly, I'm with her. Sylvia deserved that ring.

It turns out the old lady agreed.

Just got off the phone with Van Walden family lawyers.

Shirley left her an entire fortune in the will.

Huh.

Well, I guess she can afford a good lawyer now.

You headed home?

Um, actually, I'm going to pick up some food

and head to the hospital.

I'm sure James and Harper would appreciate the company.

Actually, I'm going to go sit with Kylie.

I mean, the whole station is rallying around

Harper and James, but I don't think Kylie has anyone.

You really need to cool it with the compassion.

You're making the rest of us look bad.

It's not a competition, but I am winning, so...

Connor confessed to everything.

Kelce has been fully exonerated,

and you have nothing.

Oh, I think you misunderstood me.

I couldn't be happier to have this whole thing behind us.

Us?

Yeah, we're all on the same team.

We all want a justice system that treats everyone equally.

And this had nothing to do with your campaign?

Of course not.

I really hope she doesn't win.

That's tomorrow's problem.

Tonight, I'm going home.

Any chance I could join you?

Angela's never going to forgive me

for keeping the kiss a secret.

Wesley, it was two hours max.

She's very strict.

I would offer you my couch, but I don't want to.

I guess I'll have to face the music.

Good luck.

- Hey. - Hey.

- I saw Vivian leaving. - It's done.

She's not pursuing charges,

and I'm reinstating Harper effective immediately.

That is good news.

I'm on my way to the hospital to pick up Bailey.

Do you mind if I tell Harper?

Be my guest.

Thank you.

Hey, am I intruding?

No, I was just resting my eyes.

They took James for X-rays.

Right. Uh, I have something for you.

Thank you.

And I have something I need to get off my chest.

I was the witness who saw James and Kylie kiss.

I already knew that.

You did?

Yeah, Vivian threw you under the bus.

And the guilt was just radiating off of you.

I wanted to tell you so bad, but then after the shooting...

I know it was an active murder investigation.

I get it.

So are you... are you two good?

He said that she kissed him and he pushed her away.

And I believe him.

OK, good, good.

Oh, that was really weighing on me.

Not that today is about me, but I just...

I really... I really did not like having to lie to you.

You are... and this is going to sound

goofy when I say it out loud,

but you are in no small way my hero.

And that's not just because you've helped me out

of some really tough spots, but because there's just...

there's just no one better as a cop, as a mom,

and as a human.

You just...

I know you had a hell of a day,

and I just hate that I was in any way a part of that.

I appreciate that.

OK, um...

if you need anything, do not hesitate.

I can be back here under 12 minutes.

John.

Thank you.

This is really sweet of you,

but I think I can walk from here.

Do not listen to her. I will take it from here.

Thank you very much.

You are overreacting.

I was dehydrated.

Oh, I'm not doing this because I was worried.

No, definitely not.

No, no, no. I'm doing this to keep an eye on the competition.

I heard that you busted a meth lab from your bed.

It was mostly Celina.

But I do think I qualify for a police pension.

I'll look into it.

And one of those badges I can flash

when I get pulled over for speeding.

How often do you get pulled over for speeding?

Not at all.

A small, reasonable amount of times.

How about we remember

how worried you were when I passed out?

Let's hold on to that.

Right.
