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.

[door slams]OFFICER: 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.

KEN:
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.

[tires squealing,
siren wailing]

OFFICER: This is 213
in pursuit of a black SUV.

Ran a red on Franklin

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

OFFICER 2:
Copy.

OFFICER: Picking up speed.
Requesting backup.

OFFICER 2:
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.

[laughs]:
I don't feel like I'm married.

More like a hostage.
[sighs]

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.

[chuckles]
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?

[knock on door]

[keys jangle]

Ready, boss?

Hey, Diaz.Kate. Nice solar system.

I didn't know you crafted.

[chuckles]You got skills.

You check your phone?

Why?We got a pursuit.

NEWSMAN:
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.

TOMMY: 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?

DOUG:
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.

[chuckles]: 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.

COOPER:
We got a problem.

Austin Blaine got
into an accident

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.

[whispers]:
He's coming.

MAN:
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.

TOMMY [over phone]:
$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.

[indistinct police radio
transmission]

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.

[chuckles nervously]

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.

[sighs]:
We got to up our game.

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.

[sighs]

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.

TOMMY:
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?

MINA:
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

playing his arcade games.

Whoa.

Hey, boss, I hit the jackpot.

[indistinct radio chatter]

COOPER:
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.

[sighs]

Hello?

KILEY:
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.

[chuckles]: 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.

ASHLEY:
Boss?[knocks]

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.

[phone ringing]

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.

[helicopter blades whirring]

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!

[panting]

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!

[clattering]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.

[door squeaks opens]

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.

[phone ringing]

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.

[groans]

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.

[phone ringing]

[phone ringing]

Yeah?

It's Chief Cooper, Fred.

Lora's here. Will
you talk to her?

My wife?

[panting]

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.

[sighs]
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--

I'll go in.

Don't know about that, Chief.
