You live inside my heart, brown eyes in
the line of fire.

I get worried when you're gone too long.

Sorry, did you say something?

No, you just were making a face. Is
everything alright?

Yeah, yeah, totally. It's just, um,
well, Raj wrote a new song about me.

I mean, he's so talented and he's so
beautiful and it's all...

A little overwhelming. Yeah. I wish
somebody was writing love songs about

me. The three of you are so happy. My
love life is as cold as a frosted frog.

You're young, Penn. There's plenty of
time to find true happiness.

Yeah, or learn to love being alone.

All right, let's focus.

Just got out of a meeting with the
brass, and everyone is feeling the

pinch. Recruitment numbers are down.
Retirement numbers are up. Bottom line,

prepare to work more OT with the
Department of Management Staff and

Shortages when we launch this new
recruitment drive.

What's going on? We won!

We won!

Won what? The lottery.

Shangri-La has been played every week
for 12 years.

We're rich, bitch!

Smitty, out.

When did you say this recruitment draft
was?

I'm gonna win for you like I know you
won't need to die.

You should call in sick. Hang out with
me on my day off.

That would be a bad look on my first day
back.

Oh, it would be fine.

I mean, do you even have an official job
yet? No, and I'm trying so hard to be

zen about that. My former position was
perfect.

It's my own fault for taking a leave and
going to D.C. Any idea what Kevin

Foster's going to give you? No, we're
talking first thing this morning.

So what are you going to do today?

I'm going to find out how many naps is
too many naps.

My plan is to do absolutely nothing.

Oh, you were going to fix the drain in
the shower.

Absolutely nothing except fix the drain
in the shower. Okay.

Though I know it's not my hair in there.

What was that?

I said have a good day out there.

Okay.

I'm confused. I just voted for you. Why
are you two going to work? Shouldn't you

be doing the whole last minute
campaigning thing?

Rita wanted him to, but we talked about
it and... I'm going to lose.

Badly. Rita gave us the latest poll
numbers and then quit. So rather than

waste another minute on a failed
campaign that neither one of us enjoyed

for a second, we are first day of the
rest of our lives in here. Okay.

Well, I can't complain about having my
bestie back on the job.

Hey, why don't we do dinner tonight?
Just the four of us. You're not going to

watch the return?

No. No point.

I love you, Luther.

I love you, too.

You would have made an amazing DA.

Thanks.

Bye.

Vivian is going to fire him the second
she wins, isn't she?

A hundred percent.

Yeah. All right. I'll be right in.

All right.

Hey, how would you feel about having a
small gathering at your house tonight?

Oh, what's the occasion?

Wesley tanking the DA, right?

Is that?

cause for celebration no but it is a
time for friends to get together and

support each other no matter what also
it needs to be a surprise or else we'll

just try and talk me out of it got it
yeah sure we can have it here great i

will start a group chat all right do you
need me to and you hung up here's what i

love the clear amount of industry and
effort that you've put in but but

it is a little you know narrowly
focused.

Join the LAPD, the badass hero, protect
the innocent.

It's reflective of your lived
experience, but it's not exactly

reflective of the multitude that is the
LAPD.

Yeah. You're in charge of staffing this
up. What? Hold on. No, that's... I was

not trying to... Fine.

Penn! Forrest!

You're on a special assignment today.
What? Penn's still a rookie. Exactly.

Who better to give insight to a recruit
than someone going through training?

Guys, get started. The paperwork's in
the car.

Hey, how's it going? Good. Did the brass
send you down here to help me with the

recruitment drive?

In a consulting capacity.

And only if you need me.

So say you don't need me so I can go
back to work.

Ah! Oh, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

committee! What?

You quit!

No!

I took an unscheduled day off while I
briefly submitted my retirement papers,

but that's all done now.

Why? What happened?

Oh, they say I didn't kick in for my
share of the ticket, so I don't get my

share of the payout. But I'm always late
with my lieutenant. They know I'm good

for it.

Ah! Oh, God, you are not okay.

Smitty, make yourself useful and get the
lieutenant down to St. Stephen's. No,

no, I can drive myself. No, you can't,
but I can call an ambulance.

Or your wife. We can call your wife. No,
no, definitely not.

Let's go, Smitty.

I do not want to hear about your lottery
situation.

No problem. But I do have a teletherapy
appointment starting at 5, so you might

overhear a bit.

Good morning.

Oh, good morning. Come on in. Thank you
for being so understanding.

I know I left you in the lurch when I
went to D.C.

All good.

So, what do you have in store for me?
Well, obviously, your old job is gone.

But we do have a new class of paramedic
recruits, and I want you to train one.

You're giving me a rookie?

I am.

Oakley!

Yes, sir?

This is Bailey Noon. You'll be training
with her.

Pleasure to meet you. I need you to get
started.

I've read everything there is to read on
triage medicine, not just in the U.S.,

but as far afield as Mumbai. They
published a fascinating study 12 days

ago on emergency medicine in
high-density populations.

I can send you a link.

Do you read Hindi by any chance, or do
you need the English translation?

Good luck.

Officer in agony here.

Bed 11.

Oh, hell no. I changed my mind. I'm
fine. I'm fine.

Oh, what is going on? He woke up with a
stabbing pain in his lower back. It

hurts when he pees. Smitty! What? I
could hear you cursing from outside the

station bathroom. Oh, God.

Wait. You're that doctor. You're the
one. Smitty! Get out of here now.

Back to the station. Yes, sir. Good
luck.

I'm the doctor that what?

You don't know. I really don't? But you
know what? That can wait till we figure

out what is going on with you. I want a
different doctor.

I am the only one who's free right now.
Oh, wait.

You sure?

Yeah.

Okay.

Please tell me you haven't napped yet
and that you haven't forgotten to fix

the bathroom drain. No, of course not. I
just called to see where you were

assigned. I got a rookie.

I knew you secretly wanted to be me.
I've never trained anyone before. It's

my first day back and this kid is kind
of green.

So are you looking for some tips?

Would you come meet us? Give a first
blush eval and maybe a few pointers?

Yes, of course.

But it's going to cost you.

I hope so.

I gotta go. All right. Looking forward
to you hung up as well.

A buttload of hematotic gauze as
requested.

How can I help?

Watch first. I like things a certain
way. A lot of people put the first in

bag on the gurney, but I like it in the
outside compartment.

That way I can grab the gurney while you
grab the bag. Smart.

You know, in earlier grand societies...
Let's just focus on modern emergency

medicine.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

But I find that understanding the
history of things can give context to

modern emergency medicine and elucidates
the reasons why we do things the way we

do today.

All right, look, you can spot the losers
a mile away. Don't waste any time with

anyone you know won't pass the physical
exam or the psych-out. Got it. Fill out

a questionnaire.

Let them know that we follow up with a
polygraph and a background check.

That'll knock out at least a third of
the duds. Okay, just so I can set

expectations, what ratio of good
candidates to losers should we expect?

Does the background check include
Florida?

Well, I have been arrested before, but I
wasn't convicted. Does that count?

Depends. What was the charge?

Be fouling the punch bowl at a company
picnic.

And felony murder.

And I thought to myself, why not take
this white-hot rage that I feel every

second of every day and use it for
something positive? Like curb-stomping

violent felons.

Okay. Try MMA.

Nick.

Morning.

Heard about the personnel shortage.

And, uh, well, you guys need cops, and I
went back in. So, how can we make this

happen?

Where did you go to school?

Johns Hopkins for my master's in
neuroscience.

Well, actually, it was a double master's
in that and philosophy.

Okay. Well, when we... I did a PhD in
molecular biology at UCLA.

Then I spent a year at Oxford doing
medical research.

That was around the time I started to
think, maybe I should have some real

life experience.

Well, you've come to the right place.

Rescue 53, respond to 31488 12th Avenue.
Managed distress, unknown description,

unknown injuries.

And there's no better time to start
control. This is Rescue 53. Show us your

funding.

Control, this is Rescue 53 on scene. The
distressed male at 12th Avenue.

I thought we'd be doing this over
coffee.

What better way to evaluate him than
seeing him in action? Seeing him in

action. Exactly.

Jace, this is my husband, John. He's off
to the LAPD. Nice to meet you. He looks

way more than distressed. Let's flip him
over, grab his head, and keep him

stable. On three. One, two, three.

He's alive, but unconscious, probably
from heavy blood loss.

Oh. Gunshot wounds. That explains the
heavy blood loss.

Easy, easy. I'm pushing Academy.

We're trying to help you.

Let's get him to St. Stephen's. All
right. I'll mobilize LAPD. Radio's in

the car.

Get away from him.

Flething? With the radio.

Please don't hurt us. Get up, traitor.

He can't answer you. I gave him a
sedative.

Then wake him back up. That's not how
medicine works. And who the hell are

you, huh?

I'm a doctor. I'm just doing a
ride-along. No, you can't stay here.

Get Isaac in the car. You can't do that.
That'll kill him. And get him in the

ambulance. You're going to keep him
alive until we get what we need.

I'm on it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, back up. They got
it.

What do you want to do with this guy?

I need him. I'm just a paramedic. He's a
doctor.

All right, search him and let's get
going. Meet us back at the office.

Hands up.

Go.

Come on, come on, come on.

Get in.

You know, the history of Battlefield
Madison is truly fascinating.

Until about 50 years ago, most major
wounds were guaranteed.

Do you want to die?

No, not particularly.

Then shut up and drive.

What did this guy do to you, anyway?

Stole our money.

Isaac here was in charge of keeping it
safe. We were supposed to meet, divvy it

up. Now he's stashed it somewhere.

Trying to keep it all for himself, but
that's not going to happen.

This money he stole, assuming he
recently stole it from someone else?

Brinks truck?

Bank? What? You ask a lot of questions,
Doc.

Shut up. The only answer I care about
is, what exactly is your plan here?

Three steps. Wake the traitor up, get
him to tell us where the money is, kill

him. This man is barely stable. What
happens if the third step comes first?

Then you're dying in this ambulance
along with him.

I knew Seth still had dreams of being a
cop, but I did not think he would try

again at mid-worship.

Yeah, well, he thinks he's catching us
at a vulnerable moment. He's right. We

need cops in the street now, not in six
months after the applicants finish

training. Technically, all he has to do
is pass his physical, and he's back in

uniform. The physical is not my concern.

It is everything else. Listen, that has
changed. I know it's hard to believe,

but he's committed to a different path.
You are biased, Penn, because he saved

your life.

Guilty as charged, but he deserves a
second chance.

Okay. I'm ready. Whatever you guys need.
The only way I'll even consider

recommending you for reinstatement is if
you pass a polygraph.

Okay.

Let's do it. Why are you refusing
treatment?

I'm not.

I just saw a doctor. He told me I had
kidney stones.

Major ones.

I'm sorry. I heard that pain is
excruciating.

Well, while you are being treated, I am
your patient advocate.

So, is there anything that you would
like me to advocate for?

Yes. I was severely mistreated by Dr.
Ashton. I want him fired.

Wade. You asked.

I will check on you in a little bit.

Luna.

What? Can I talk to you?

Did you and your husband separate
because of me what no

You were something of a

catalyst I'll admit to enjoying some
harmless flirting, but if I ever gave

you the impression that I wanted
anything more you Absolutely gave me

that impression if I had suggested over
dinner that we check into a hotel you

wouldn't have said no

Probably not.

You tell yourself that it's harmless,
but what it is is selfish.

It doesn't matter to you what the
fallout could be, because you can just

walk away.

Thank God I came to my senses.

Okay, we're going to start with some
easy questions. Please restrict your

answer to either a yes or a no. Is your
name Seth William Ridley?

Yes. Do you live at 3200 Blix?

Yes. Are you 25 years old?

Yes. Okay, now to establish a proper
baseline, I'm going to ask you the same

questions, but this time I want you to
lie.

You understand?

All right.

Is your name Seth William Ridley?

No.

Do you live at 3200 Blick Street?

No.

Okay, let's start.

Did you ever tell me that your high
school girlfriend died from a drug

overdose?

Yes. Was that a lie?

Yes.

Were you in love with Tamar Collins?

Yeah, I wanted to marry her. Simple yes
or no?

Sorry, yes.

One year ago, did you have cancer?

I did not, no.

During that time, did you ever believe
you were sick?

No.

On the day of the Kenyon wildfire, did
the National Weather Service call you?

about the fire spreading across Eagle
Rock Road. Answer the question. Did you

receive a call from the Weather Service?

Yes.

Did you relay that information to the
officers in the field?

He means us.

Did you try to tell us?

No.

On purpose?

No.

I got distracted, and it was too late to
warn you. I knew that you were pinned

down. That was my fault.

I'm sorry, but I...

I was too afraid to say anything. No,
you lied.

To cover up your mistake like you always
do.

Yes.

No.

Not anymore.

Not anymore.

He's crashing.

Pulse is weak. He has a pneumothorax.
The pressure is building in his chest

cavity.

I told him steady, and my puncher is
shut.

If you won't take us to a hospital, I
need to be someplace not moving.

You need to listen to her. Or to the
doctor. Why is she doing everything?

I'm a radiologist.

We don't have time for resumes. We need
to stop the ambulance.

How long do we get to the office?

We're landing now.

I'll get the boss.

Let's get Isaac on the table. Clear it
off.

How's he doing? Not well. All the fluid
I transduced in him just keeps coming

right back out. He's running out of
time.

How long before your dispatch realizes
you're missing? A few hours.

Firefighters aren't as worried about
random violence as cops. Perhaps it's

time to revisit that policy.

I'm dying to know why you brought these
randos to the office and not my money.

Isaac took the cash and ran. We only
caught up to him after he hit it. He

started shooting.

You shot back before you got my money?
Allen's got a little excited.

Hey, we all emptied a clip. I told you
to call... Shut up!

You're making my head hurt.

How bad's our boy?

Critical. He needs a hospital.

Not happening. Wake him up. Give him the
Pulp Fiction shot right in the heart.

That shot, epinephrine, would kill him.

I'm only going to say this once.

You got ten minutes to wake him up so I
can find my money or I shoot this man

next.

Don't. No. I have to help him or he's
going to die. That's why I shot him.

Get him talking.

Now.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let me triage my
rookie or I cut your guy's carotid and

you'll never find your money.

Check out born identity, Barbie. What
about the Hippocratic Oath? They're

doctors, not paramedics.

Okay, how about this? You let her
resurrect Isaac, and you let me treat

Jace. Is that okay?

Fine. You go watch him. If he tries to
be a hero, cap them both.

You all right?

You know, not really.

That's a lot of blood. Yeah. I'm going
to need some hemostatic gauze on there.

Billy, we're going to need to work
together, so slow breaths, okay?

You're going to apply some serious
pressure on there? I might make some

noise. Right. Ready?

Okay.

I'm going to pass out now. Okay.

Hey,

forget about the bleeding. Boss said
wake him up. He's in hypovolemic shock.

His blood pressure has cratered. He's
about to die.

If he dies, we are screwed, man. If he's
bleeding out, give him more blood. I

don't have any. So unless one of you is
O negative, the universal blood donor,

we're out of luck.

Yeah, that's me.

I needed a transfusion after I took one
in the leg on the Long Beach job. They

told me I was O negative.

Perfect. Roll up your sleeve.

Hi. Hi.

I'm here to join the LAPD. What?

Are you serious?

Oh, God, no. I'd make a terrible cop. I
came by to say hi and to see if you had

had time to listen to the song.

I did.

I did.

Oh, I'm going to go grab a soda. You
want anything?

No, I'm good. I'll take a chocolate
milk.

You didn't like it? Are you kidding?

It made me cry the first 10 times I
listened to it, but it's a lot of

pressure, you know?

Imagine how Mona Lisa felt when Da Vinci
painted her. I mean, everyone constantly

judging whether she was worthy of being
memorialized like that. Wow, yeah, I

never thought about it like that.

Thank you for comparing me to Da Vinci.
That's an ego boost for sure.

Okay, I can change it up. I can add a
line about your morning breath or how

you pick me in your sleep. Okay, I do
not.

Do I? No. Hi.

I'm here to sign up for a cop job.

You are in the right place.

What drew you to law enforcement?

My boyfriend's a cop, and we don't get
to spend much time together, so I

thought this way we could see each other
every day. Well, that's amazing.

You probably know him?

Franklin Rose?

Franklin Rose?

Doesn't ring a bell, but you've been
here longer than me, so... Well, I don't

know him, but, I mean, it's a big
building. I'll show you a picture.

Is this recent? Yeah, I took it of him
last week before he went to work.

Do you mind if I take a picture?

Great. This will help me find him.

You know, here's an application.

Why don't you fill it out over there
while I track him down?

Okay, thanks.

Yeah?

What's wrong?

The badge is all wrong.

Yeah, this thing is from the 1970s.
Maybe he was just trying to impress the

girlfriend. By committing a felony?

You know, I have heard rumors about
low-level dealers getting ripped off by

cops who confiscate their drugs and let
them off with a warning.

Classic dope rip. All right, I'm going
to need to talk to her.

Not a problem. She's so awesome. We'll
get her.

Hey,

did you get everything?

Boy, did I.

You really think he's going to
appreciate us paying your demotion party

for it? If not, we will get him drunk
enough that he forgets it ever happened.

All right, I got to go. I love you. Love
you, too.

Hey. This must be burning. Oh, yeah?

Why?

Oh, just... I was watching a news story
about the election.

What's up?

Do you remember, like, a thousand years
ago when this all started, we talked

about doing an announcement speech to
lay out my full progressive agenda?

Yeah, before you chickened out. Well, if
I'm going to concede this election, I

want to go out swinging. I want everyone
to know exactly what I believe. Can you

give me an assist?

My speechwriter quit.

Sure, yeah, I sure can. You know, how
about you follow me into my office, step

in over here? Yeah. What kind of things
were you thinking about? I really like

what we did the first time around. I
didn't get to nail it. Oh, right.

So what's the verdict? Well, according
to the polygraph, you told the truth

about everything.

Which was unexpected and proves that
you've made a real effort to change.

Okay, great.

No? No?

Look, the fact that you knowingly let us
drive into danger, failed to do anything

about it.

and then lied to protect yourself is
unforgivable to the department.

Even though I sacrificed myself to save
Nolan's life, what about that? Does my

loss count for anything?

Honestly, it's not enough.

Even if you were to reapply to the FTO
program, I would have to share those

test results with Internal Affairs.

Wait.

So, this whole thing's a setup?

I catch 22, I lie about the fire, and I
fail the test.

I tell the truth, and then you're gonna
use it against me. I thought you were

giving me a fair shot here. Look, I'm
sorry. I can see that you are genuinely

trying to be a better person, but there
is no coming back from what you did. Not

here.

Okay, I understand.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity
to tell the truth.

I know that could not have been easy
given what I put you through.

Ah, man, I thought it would be enough of
me to come in here and to say I'm sorry

and to do the work and not be that guy
anymore, but...

I guess I finally understand that there
are simply things I just don't get

to have anymore. There are doors that I
closed that... that I'm never gonna

reopen.

Thank you. Appreciate everything you
taught me. I really do.

Good luck, Ridley.

You walk out of here knowing you finally
took responsibility for your actions.

And in my book, it accounts for
something.

Thank you.

Bad news, there's no cop in the LAPD
with your boyfriend's name. Check again.

He's closed massive cases. The mayor
gave him an award.

I'm so sorry, but none of that is true.

Well, if he's lying, why is his boss on
your wall?

You sure that's him?

Yeah, Captain Jennings.

Okay, well, that is problematic in a
whole different way.

Howard Jennings doesn't work here
either.

He retired.

Eight years ago.

Keep pumping. It needs to flow or it'll
coagulate.

Damn, bro.

The human body is so cool.

He's stabilizing.

You might want to take a look at this. I
think it's femoral hyperglobocystic

foliating.

As soon as they find out where the money
is, they're going to kill us. We can get

way out.

forgotten man right now. So if you see a
move to make, do it, not jump in.

Are you sleeping, beauty?

Where am I?

You're in hell, bitch.

Where's my money?

Screw you. Come on, Isaac. You can't
take it with you.

Okay, I'll tell you.

I'll tell you.

Just give him a second. He's still
coming out of sedation. He's never going

to tell us. He's just going to screw us
and then die.

I hope it hurts, man.

I hope you're in so much pain you're
praying for the sweet mercy of death

because it's coming.

I don't feel good. Can you unhook me?

Hey, lady, you might want to tighten
that tourniquet. Whoa, whoa. No!

No!

Tell me or I'll take a foot!

Hey, what's that mean?

His heart's not... Get him back!

Now! You yelled at us for shooting him,
then you chopped his arm off? What the

hell's wrong with you? I'm getting my
money. I spent six months planning to

get out from the safety of this office
while we're the ones sticking our heads

out.

Hey, stop arguing. Get over here and
help me. With what? To fix your boss's

mistake. I need you to pinch off his
artery so I can get a shot of

adrenaline. Do it.

Hey.

Down, honey.

He's a cop.

Yes, we did.

Because of you.

This is Officer John Nolan.

I need three units and an ambulance,
code three, multiple sale and send. One

critically wounded, paramedic.

Great job, honey.

I appreciate you coming in at such short
notice, Captain.

Are you kidding me? The Margaret Hoffman
case is the one I can never forget.

If you've got a fresh lead, I'll move
heaven and earth to help you bring her

killer to justice.

We've got a whole pile of blood out in
here.

Let's do it.

Captain, I am Detective Nyla Harper.
This is Detective Angela Lopez.

This isn't about Martha Hoffman. No,
sir.

I'll leave you to it.

Think you can intimidate me with your
little setup here? No, sir. You're a

legendary tough guy who inspired loyalty
in his men and fear in his enemies.

Who the hell are you to mock me?

Your worst nightmare.

That's the first thing that springs to
mind, but I don't know. It sounds a

little cringy when I say it out loud,
huh?

We'll workshop it later.

Right now, we're dying to know what
happened to you. Why cross over to the

dark side?

I have no idea what you're talking
about, and I'm leaving. I guess we'll

just have to get our answers from
Franklin Rose.

Or the other two felons that you
recruited, Marcus Kennedy and Jeremiah

Gomez.

And what crimes do you think these men
have been doing? Well, robbing drug

dealers so you can sell the products
yourself.

And before you protest that you've never
heard of them, we have Jeremiah and

Marcus in custody.

And they dropped your name the second
the cuffs came out. It's over, sir. We

will be placing you under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney. If
you cannot afford an attorney, one will

be provided for you. Do you understand?

Yeah.

Yeah, I understand.

My entire career, I never once crossed
the line. I was as straight an arrow as

you could be.

But my personal life was a bit...

More chaotic.

Three wives, six kids.

Seven. Oof, got expensive.

Got ridiculous.

Credit cards were all maxed out. I was
behind on everything.

You spend your entire career cleaning up
messes.

Desperate people made.

Feeling superior.

Turns out we all have a tipping point.

I was just going to do the dope rips
until I got caught up financially.

I thought, who the hell am I hurting?

Drug dealers?

They'd shoot their mother for a Trans
Am.

I gave my life to the job.

I did way more good for this city than
the wrong I did now.

That's right, Glenn.

Hi.

Hey, baby. I hope it's okay. I wanted to
surprise you.

Boy, did you.

They were having a recruitment drive,
and I thought, wouldn't it be fun if you

and me worked together?

It would. Yeah, it sure would. But
listen, baby, you haven't actually gone

inside and talked to anybody, have you?

No. I waited like you asked me to.

Great. Oh, that is so great.

Listen, so I do have a couple errands I
have to run. Why don't you come with me?

No. No!

Show me your head.

Turn around and walk to the grass. No.
Turn around.

All right.

Frankly, Ruth, you're under arrest for
felony robbery.

Let me call my boss.

No need, my man. Captain Denning is
already in holding.

Let's move.

Kitty, are you serious?

I really got a golden gut, huh?

I wouldn't know a decent guy if he came
up to me and said... Hey.

You weren't kidding when you said you
had to go do a thing before we could

drown my sorrows, huh?

Mm-hmm.

Hi. Hi.

Kitty Adams.

Seth Ridley. Nice to meet you, Kitty.
You, uh, new to town? You don't really

have a big city vibe going on, in a good
way.

Uh, Kitty, I don't think you should. Why
don't you blow off your friends and have

a drink with me instead?

I'll tell you my life story.

Go for it, dude.

Okay.

What? Nothing.

Maybe if it's a bad idea, it's actually
good.

Detectives from the Pacific Division
have connected our kidnappers to a bank

robbery in Santa Monica. They made off
with over $2 million.

All that explains why they were so
desperate to find it. And why Isaac was

so determined not to tell them. He took
that secret to the grave.

Which means that money's still out
there.

Hmm. Treasure hunt later?

But we just have to give it back.

Right. That's less fun. Less fun.

The good news is that I'm alive.

What's the bad news?

Well, all things considered, there is
none. The surgery was straightforward.

The bullet missed all your major organs.

Thank God.

But this leaves us with the outstanding
question.

Is this a life lesson or a cautionary
tale?

Something tells me you already know the
answer to that. Oh.

Cautionary tale all day.

Definitely a thinker and not a doer.

Well, personally, I think you would have
made an excellent paramedic. You have

more brain power than this entire
hospital and just the right amount of

bravery. That means a lot, coming from
the legend that is Bailey Noon.

And her husband's pretty cool, too.

I told you.

I'll keep him.

You know, this reminds me of a fun
allegory from Plato. It's much more

compelling in the original ancient
Greek.

I'm fine. I'll just catch a hooper.

You will not.

I will drive you to your hotel.

Look, you promised me that we would have
the chance to really talk, so I am going

to take you hostage until we do.

That's my girl.

For what it's worth, I slammed the door
in Ashton's face today.

Figuratively.

Disappointing.

Like I told you before, he was just a
temptation.

Nothing more.

But it did shake me up a bit.

You have to admit that our marriage has
been pretty static the last few years. I

would have said solid, but I understand
what you mean. I also understand now

that this is more than just a new job
for you.

It was the beginning of something.

But my question is, does our marriage
have a part in this new beginning?

Yes. I just got my head turned around
and I made a mess of things.

I want us to be healthy again.

I know we can't just click our heels
together and make that happen.

We can if we do it in therapy.

Yes. I think that's exactly where we
should be.

Look, how about if I take you home?

You can sleep in the guest room if you
want, but we can keep talking.

Okay.

I'd like that.

You're not getting under the knife. Just
being your crutch. I'm just saying.

Come here to celebrate the death of Ben
Grilla?

Not at all.

It's been a challenging day all around.

I wanted to make sure you're doing okay.

Well, thanks, kid.

That's a lot more thoughtful than my
traitorous lottery neighbors have been.

They couldn't wait to get out of here.

I mean, it looks like they bought you a
few things on the way out, though. If

they think they can talk me out of suing
by buying me barbecues and ice makers,

they are sadly mistaken.

Does that mean that they're up for
grabs?

No, I'm not an idiot. I already sold
them on eBay for a buttload.

Okay. Since you're both here, I'm way
past due with flushing the septic system

on the RV. It'll take at least three
hands.

Oh, we got that. We got it. We got it on
the plan. That thing.

The thing. Yeah, that thing. Yep, yep.

Yeah. You have yourself a good night,
okay?

Okay. Bye, Mr. Smitty.

Hey, guys.

Thank you.

Early returns are coming in. Good news.

No, we're getting crushed.

Hey. Okay, so my concession speech is
pre-recorded, ready to be released into

the world just as soon as I officially
leave.

It's soon, babe. They're ready to call
in.

Listen, let us take you to dinner. We
know this great Mexican spot up in the

valley. Is it Nolan and Bailey's place?

You told.

He saw all the decorations.

What, did you want me to lie?

Yes. Fine. I can think of no better
place to celebrate my failures than with

all of my friends.

I

did.

Tried your best and you got wrecked and
now you're looking all depressed, oh.

You made a new mistake, you feel
ashamed, don't have to lie awake.

If you think you're on your own, just
come home.

We'll be waiting when you don't know
what to do anymore. That's what we're

here for.

Get me a piece to eat.

This feels weird.

Oh, that's my... Well,

thank you.

They're about to play your speech. You
want to turn on the news?

No. No, I think that's in our rearview
mirror now.

Well, the beam was going to fire you
anyways. Might as well speak your truth.

It felt so good to cut through the noise
and stop playing politics.

It also made me realize how little I'd
accomplished at the DA's office.

I mean, I tried to change the system
from within, but without being the boss,

without having that power, it's a losing
battle. So I think I'm going to go back

to being a defense lawyer.

I figured, but there are a lot of cops
who are going to feel betrayed.

Like you're siding with the enemy. Well,
there's only one cop whose opinion I

care about.

Oh. Yeah.

I'm all for it. Our sex life was unreal
and we're on opposite sides.

Yes, it was.

Oh. Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Here's the thing. I wrote the song
because I think you're incredible and

because I got really excited when I
realized that Selena rhymes with zebra

and subpoena. That's it, though. Close
enough for art.

Look, I'm sorry that it made you feel
self-conscious, but a song is not a

statement of truth. It's an opinion.

I think you're the most beautiful woman
in the world. That does not objectively

make you that. Okay, well, in case you
haven't noticed, I am a painfully humble

person. I mean, how can I not be? I'm
surrounded by the most amazing people on

the daily.

I mean, seriously.

Take a look at that group of badass
overachievers.

Every single one of them a unicorn in
their own way.

You belong right there with them.

I won't be taking any arguments at this
time.

Everyone, if you gather around, it is
official. Sadly, Wesley will not be the

new district attorney.

That's okay.

Wesley, clearly everybody in this room
is fiercely proud of you for...

Putting yourself out there and shining a
light on what is wrong with our system

and the ways in which it could be fixed
if we were only collectively brave

enough to try. So, we raise our glasses
to you. To Wesley.

Thank you.

I can't say that it was an enjoyable
experience, but man, was it memorable.

We've all gone through so much together
this year. Sometimes it felt like it was

more than we could handle, but it wasn't
because we had each other.

It's safe to say that...

I have no idea what the future has in
store, but I do know one thing. We won't

be going through it alone.

Because we're a family.

So thank you. Hear, hear.

Let's eat.

Please.
