- Previously
on "The Rookie"...

- Remember the criminal
Garza flew back from Vegas?

- Everett, right?

- As we've been digging deeper
into his criminal operation,

an unexplained connection
inside the Pentagon.

- Hey, Counselor.
Harrison Novak.

Hunting my victims,
that just fills me up.

- It seems clear that we have a
second serial killer at large.

- I think Glasser is my guy.

- They're in my head.

- Ryan Dearbourne's misfortune
is Liam Glasser's blessing.

- If you're implying I had
something to do with this

[people growling]

[tense music]

- [shouts]
- [groans]

- He's dead.
Do you know his name?

- His name was Martin.

[floor creaks]

- Don't worry. I'm up.

- Mm, you're looking
pretty horizontal to me.

- [groans softly]

Yeah.

- Hey.

There is no shame
if you're not ready, all right?

And what you experienced
was deeply traumatic.

And it doesn't just disappear
in a few weeks.

- It just would be
easier to process

if he was a violent criminal,
you know?

But he's not.

He's a victim too.

- I-I hear you, but listen.

It doesn't matter, OK?

And this is gonna sound
cold-blooded,

but in the moment,

Martin Carpio
was a homicidal maniac

about to drive a linoleum knife
through your chest.

If you hadn't acted...

I was gonna spend
the last couple weeks

picking out a coffin

and putting your body
in the ground.

And I know this
is complicated for you,

but for me, it is very simple.

You're alive because
you did what you had to do

to stay that way.

- OK.

I need a shower and a coffee.

- I'm on it.

- Thank you.
- Of course.

- Look, you're not gonna have
to worry about me, OK?

I-I will pull my weight.

- Yeah.
If you can, you will.

But what I need most
from you right now

is the truth, all right?

Do not push yourself
to failure.

Because that failure
can get other cops killed.

- Understood.
- All right.

[somber music]

♪ ♪

- I'm afraid
I have some bad news.

Given the severity
of the challenges

to prosecuting Liam Glasser,

the DA has instructed me
to offer a plea deal.

Involuntary manslaughter
for the death of Grant Nogales.

- What?

One charge?
For a serial killer?

And how is manslaughter
even on the table?

- [sighs]

The dearth
of physical evidence,

the tainted
police investigation,

the lack of eyewitnesses,
the false confession

and subsequent mental breakdown
of Ryan Dearbourne,

the fact that Glasser
piggybacked his burial site

with another killer's bodies.

- OK, but Harrison Novak
is clear that

he didn't kill
Glasser's victims.

And Dearbourne was drugged
into a mental health crisis.

- Ryan had drugs in his system,

which Glasser's lawyer
will argue he took himself,

even though
I think Glasser's lawyer

is the one
who did the drugging.

- But we have zero evidence

that Malcolm Walsh
did anything.

Right?

- Unfortunately.

Celina and I
went over the CCTV footage

and spoke to the staff
at Ryan's halfway house.

There's no proof that anyone
tampered with Ryan's meds.

- [sighs]

- But what about that guy
we found handcuffed

in Glasser's shower,
stuck full of needles?

I know it's not murder,
but we gotta be able

to convict him for that

and for attacking Nolan
in the basement.

- Glasser claims
that Phil Warren

was an unhoused person
who broke in and took shelter

from the fires

and that he thought that
we were looters, not cops,

so he was defending himself.

- Bottom line, it's all a mess.

Look, I'm sorry.

We did our best.

At least with the plea deal,

Glasser will be off the streets
for a decade

while we continue
to gather evidence

to charge him
for his other crimes.

- Well,

No, they're always

- What if I told you
Bailey saw their tattoo

on a woman at the Pentagon?

- This connected
to the Everett case?

- Yeah.

So we don't know
how he's involved,

but a war criminal
with ties to the Pentagon

is all kinds of bad.

operator in that spec-ops team.

- I'm not taking the bait,
Vivian.

So you can just

the Glasser plea deal.

It's a rough break.

- You know, I think
the important thing is

that he'll be off the streets.

He's gonna do some time.
- Mm-hmm.

It's not really worthy of
a press release, though, is it?

Serial killer does some time
over heinous murders.

On a happier note, I'm heading
over to Mid-Wilshire.

Yeah, Harrison Novak is coming
in to confess to more crimes,

after pleading guilty to all
the ones I charged him with.

If only you'd caught his case
