All language subtitles for Tommy 1x01 - In Dreams Begin Responsibilities (English)

Dear fellow Angelenos.
This week, Abigail Thomas

took office as the first woman
to be named chief of police

in the history of our city.

To be clear, I didn't hire Chief Thomas

only because she is a woman.

There was a prostitution scandal

involving several police
officers and an underage girl

with a learning disability,

the previous chief was accused
by eight different women

of sexual harassment and there
is a pending federal lawsuit,

but I would never make
a decision like this

out of political expediency.

Public safety is more than my
most important responsibility.

- It is a sacred...
- Battery's dead.

Why can't I say that I hired her

- because she's a woman?
- It's not good.

I just hired the first
female police chief

in the history of Los Angeles,

not to mention Chicago and New York.

Why is that not a good thing?

You dropped a line.

- I'm not saying that line.
- "There are a few

bad apples in every barrel."

A federal judge made me

hire a woman...
That's known to everyone, right?

Police union asked if you could say it.

There are no apples in Los Angeles.
It never gets cold enough.

- It's a proverb.
- A cop

who pimps out a 15-year-old girl
with an 80 IQ

is not an apple, he is not a quince,

he is not a loquat, he is a scumbag.

It will look like you submitted
to political pressure,

not to your voters, to swing voters.

These are the pleasures of term limits,

my friend. You've got to think
about what's next.

Apples.

What am I, the mayor
of Burlington, Vermont?

? In my heart ?

? I thought that... ?

Madison!

You cannot detain this woman.

She is under arrest and in my custody.

Arrest for what?

Broken taillight.

Attention.

Okay, guys. We're not gonna do that

all the time or you're all gonna
need knee replacements.

Dale, what's going on down there?

ICE went to detain an illegal alien,

Maria de la Puerta, with her daughter.

An LAPD officer got there first,
took her into custody.

He says he made a lawful arrest.

The ICE people say he got in their way.

Now they won't let him leave.

So, uh, the four cars around
our patrol car are all ICE?

They won't budge.

Yeah, nobody ever budges.
I mean, people budge.

No, they don't. They
just stop not budging.

Who's giving them their orders?

A guy named Weathers.

Decent enough guy.

He runs ICE out here.

You thinking about going down there?

Chief, right now it's one rogue cop.

If you get involved,
it's the LAPD versus ICE.

So if it spins out of control,
you're gonna wear it.

All right, look, I-I know you all think

that you're auditioning for your jobs,

but I-I didn't come out here
to go to golf tournaments.

I'm a cop. I got to see for myself.

Oh, and see if you can get
this, uh, Mr. Weathers to budge

down there, too.

Who wants to go downtown and get
hit in the head with a bottle?

Oh, I don't think it's safe for
you to go out there, Chief.

I'll take this guy.

The last thing I need is security detail

who's worried about hurting
his drinking hand.

Well, I'm not afraid of nothing.

Not in that suit.

I have the same tailor in
New York as Al Sharpton.

- What's your name, Flash?
- Abnar Diaz.

- Bronx?
- Mott Haven.

- Hicksville.
- Hicksville?

- Long Island.
- Hicksville?

H-Hicksville's not Hicksville.

Hicksville is Hicksville.

No, Hicksville is not being
able to get a bagel.

I see where you're going with this.

Hicksville is not being able
to get a slice.

You can't.

- Here.
- I got a guy.

A real New York slice?

Diaz, these are invaluable skills.

Uh, Chief, the mayor's office
asked that you hold off

making any kind of statement.

The office asked? What, it was like,

Beauty and the Beast,
where the furniture talks?

Uh, the deputy mayor
for Homeland Security...

Are we being invaded?

...and Public Safety.

- Um...
- You tell the deputy mayor

that, uh, public safety
is the job of the police.

And I'm sure he can find
something else to do.

Mr. Weathers.

Uh, can we, uh,
have the room cleared, please,

so, uh, Mr. Weathers and I
can talk in private?

We are law enforcement officers,

just like you. Just like yo...

Guy, I'm sorry, I think
we-we skipped the intros.

I'm Abigail Thomas. Usually just Tommy.

Last person who called me
Abigail was my father,

and he died when I was five.

That woman...

Maria whatever...
She may be a very nice person,

she could be Mother Teresa
for all I care.

She still entered this country illegally.

- I agree with you.
- And under the law... Under...

No, I-no, I agree with you.

- Under...
- I-I agree with you.

I'm a cop, you're a cop,
my father was a cop.

We enforce the law because
that's how we can best serve

the people who need our protection most.

That patrolman deliberately
interfered with our arrest.

Yeah, which we will properly investigate.

W-Which is not gonna happen tonight.

What will happen tonight...
Because we're cops...

Is we're gonna defuse that bomb out there

so everybody gets home safe.

And if I determine that that
officer exceeded his authority,

he will be, uh, disciplined.

You have my word on that.

All right.

Hi. I'm Abigail Thomas.

Uh, you can call me Tommy.

Hablo espa�ol

solamente un poco. �Hablas ingl�s?

What's going to happen to Madison?

You understand

that you're under arrest,
that your daughter

can't come with you.

Do you have a relative
who can pick her up?

If I'm sent home to Mexico...

Oh, oh, slow down. First of all,

we need to get you away
from here, where it's dangerous,

and take you and your daughter
to police headquarters

where it's safe.

I understand.

And if you don't have a relative

who can pick her up,
I am the chief of police

and I promise you she will be safe.

Madison, you want to take a ride
in my police car?

Okay, come on.

You're the chief of police?

Yeah. Think somebody made a mistake.

I thought she wasn't
gonna make a statement.

Technically, it's not a statement.

She walks fearlessly through
a violent crowd of protestors

and lifts the little girl
up into her arms,

having defused the crisis, and
that's not making a statement?

- It's a compelling image.
- You admit

that's making a statement.

You're the mayor.

Didn't we talk about this?

Sure. It's making a statement.

And you told them no statement.
Didn't you?

We heard she had sharp elbows.

Doug, I really want you
to think before you speak.

For your own good, because when
you make these stupid excuses,

it hurts you and me because we're trying

to make people think you're
smarter than you actually are.

Did you ask her about her sexuality?

When?

In the interview.

What does her sexuality
have to do with this?

Well, gay people are
more independent-minded,

by definition,

'cause they're diverging
from the majority view.

So I just fired
the previous chief of police

for texting penis pics to his
chief of traffic enforcement,

police officers were caught
running a prostitution ring

with an underage girl
with a learning disability,

a consent decree placed
the entire department

under the control of a federal judge

who made me hire a qualified woman,

of which there are about
three in the entire country,

and you think that it would have
been a good idea for me

to ask her in the interview
if she's a lesbian?

It explains a lot.

It explains a lot about you.

If the girl that got arrested

was a gang member

or a prostitute instead
of Our Lady of Guadalupe...

Which we're all supposed to think...

Then it's no longer compassion.

It's incompetence.

Do you know something?

Can we call this a win for us?

Well, uh, you understand that's not

why I did it. But, uh, yeah.

I'll take it.

We're not finding
any relatives for Madison.

All right, well, keep looking.

Worse come to worst,
I'll just take her home with me.

Chief, you take a look at this?

The social worker
won't let you take her home.

It's the law.

Tell the social worker
I want to talk to her.

ICE agents followed the little girl,

knowing she would
lead them to her mother.

And then Officer Reed got in the mix.

Who runs someone in
for a broken tail light?

Which he broke. That's why
ICE was so ticked off.

Then there's this.

Uh, Reed's location history.

This is his regular patrol area.

Then...

he goes all the way over here.

What was he doing out of his area?

I'm sorry I'm late.

No, sit down, gentlemen.

Officer Reed, what were you thinking?

You mean did I arrest her
so that ICE couldn't?

Did you?

ICE stakes out little girls

at school to arrest their mothers.

Nobody thinks I did anything
wrong here except the LAPD.

Which I think is
a very interesting commentary

on the state of affairs.

Why was your car outside your area?

- It's my old area.
- And?

And I don't always stick to my area.

So, no special reason?

Look, if you guys
want to suspend me, go ahead.

The union will back me up.

I got nothing else to say.

Mr. Reed, I would say
you're an unpersuasive idealist.

You're dismissed.

You trust him?

Can I trust you?

When I was chief of staff
for your predecessor,

I, uh, I found out about
an affair he was having

with a subordinate... O-one of many.

I, uh, knew about it because

the woman involved asked me
to keep it a secret.

So I did.

I did not report it. In fact,

I tried to hide it.

Who else knew?

My wife.

I'm not a talker.

There was a bomb down there tonight.

I had to defuse that bomb.

And you did it.

So you think it's over?

You're on the front page of the newspaper

rescuing that woman from ICE.

And-and all we know about her
is that she broke the law

at least once to come into the country

when she was 12 years old.

And yet, somehow,
has no relatives in Los Angeles?

That's a lie.

And ICE is so gung-ho to get her

that they wound up in a standoff
with LAPD, but they say

it was just routine. That's a lie.

Reed says it was a traffic stop he made

while nostalgically
wandering the old area.

That's a lie.

So, did you defuse the bomb?

I would say you threw your body

on top of it.

If I fail,

it will be 20 years before they give

another woman this job.

Thanks for being straight.

Goes a long way with me.

Children's shelters are full.

- You're sure?
- We have

63,000 kids living
on the street in this city.

I am the chief of police
of the city of Los Angeles.

I don't care if you're Angelina Jolie.

Okay, I will take her myself.

- You?
- Yes, I will take her home with me.

Are you a relative?

No.

Married?

Divorced.

Address?

I am staying at the Airport Westin.

Just until I find a place.

Little girl...

I am putting you on a bus.

A social worker will meet you

at the other end.

There's room in a shelter in Sacramento.

What just happened?

You expect me to release
this little girl into

your custody when you are
not a relative, not married

and living in a hotel?

And that is the reason why
Brad Pitt left Angelina Jolie.

Because she thought the whole
world revolved around her.

I promised her mother that

I would take responsibility
for her. I promised.

All right, I will call my daughter.

She is a school psychologist.

Uh, married, owns her house.

Her husband is an engineer.

He makes an excellent living.

They have an eight-year-old
child and a golden retriever.

Her name?

When were you gonna call me?

I wasn't gonna call you.

Mm. So you only called
'cause you needed help.

No, Kate, you asked me not to call you.

"This was a win for mothers."

Is that really what you said?

L-Look, they stuck a
microphone in my face.

Hey, Henry.

Hi, Tommy.

It's funny, I don't remember
you ever being a mother.

Can we go?

Door's open.

One bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and a side

of mashed potatoes.

Are you the new security detail?

- Abnar Diaz. Who are you?
- Ken Rosey.

The chief said I could ride
with her this morning.

She told me.

Then why did you act surprised?

Just messing with you.

I'm the speechwriter.

I thought you were
the SWAT team commander.

Oh, I thought you were the new shortstop.

Are you here for the poetry reading?

Keep my car up front,
I'll give you a nice tip.

'Cause it's nobody's business.

You and the mayor are
the twin faces of the city.

I don't want to know
what Buddy does in bed, either.

The youngest in the history of the NYPD

to pass the captain's exam.

The youngest to get a precinct command.

In 2008, you accused a deputy
chief of sexual harassment...

I thought this was
a speech about Title IX.

...and your career stalled.

You don't think your sexuality
is relevant to that?

I'm gay, Ken... It's not a secret.

But if you don't talk about it...

Announce it to the universe?

It's a missed opportunity.

You got a mint?

Ah.

What am I missing?

He tried to rape me in my hotel room.

I broke his nose.

They talked me into calling it
sexual harassment.

Nothing happened to him.

I lost ten years of my career

and became a feminist icon.

Frankly, I would rather
have the ten years back.

Got something I can wash my hands?

I know it's hard.

I just think some things
should be private.

It's also the way you transform
the soul of the department.

One hard thing at a time.

- He fired me.
- I was there.

Maybe it looks different
when you're the one

whose ass is getting fired.

He did not fire you. Buddy loves you.

Don't talk to me like
I'm one of your girlfriends.

Hey, Chief Leakey, looking good.

Oh, I still got it, baby.

Oh, well, we miss you, man.

He let you retire at full pension.

Yeah, Buddy's a good dude, but...

Anyway, what's a girlfriend?

I was gonna say you're out of bed early.

Well, you don't pay 'em
to come over, Milton.

You pay 'em to leave.

Um...

Are you saying the door's open?

Not entirely open.

I mean...

I love my new job.

You're great on TV.

The door's still open...

Buddy said that?

You're still beloved
by the rank-and-file.

Butch Cassidy has been here a week.

Who knows what could happen.

Yeah, I know she's only
a week in the job, but...

- Tommy.
- Tommy.

We agree.

She let her emotions take over.

Who gets blamed?

Let me tell you something.

Those ICE guys, they're lazy.

Takes a lot to get them off their ass.

That little se�orita
is guilty of something.

Bank records from my police sources

show cash deposits... $5,000 a month.

For an illegal immigrant?

With a sixth-grade education and no job?

Where's that money coming from?

If she's a gang
member or a prostitute, uh...

I'm sorry, Chief Thomas, then
it's not compassion anymore.

It's incompetence.

Video from the ATM confirms
the payments were made in cash.

Aren't we just doing

ICE's dirty work for them?

ICE is under pressure from Washington

to detain more people.

Oh, you mean like a little girl's mother?

Now we're the ones investigating her?

- You're a speechwriter.
- I'm also a lawyer.

An overqualified speechwriter.

We shouldn't cooperate
with ICE on any of this.

We also found this

in the gang database.

Jos� Hern�ndez
of the 13th Street Rollers.

He's Maria's cousin.

The girls in these gangs
buy guns, run drugs.

Sometimes more.

- You sound like Milt Leakey.
- Milt Leakey

had a lot of friends
in LAPD, and still does.

- Are you one of those friends, Chuck?
- Leakey had nothing

to do with the minor who was prostituted.

All the women he had affairs with

were consenting adults.

His wife might have a beef, but I don't.

Maybe talk to Maria, Chief.

Ask her where she got the money.

You get as far away
from Maria as you can.

It'll look like you're
meddling in an investigation.

And with everyone watching you,

including everyone around here...

You were a hero when you
walked into that riot.

That's still our story.

Wait a minute. Is-is this a head shot?

Apparently, he's also an actor.

You seemed like you wanted
to say something in there.

I'd like to know what Chuck would say

if his old boss asked him
to sit on his desk.

Did you?

- Did you?
- Um...

before or after I became a feminist icon?

I-It's a game with these guys.

You're-you're friendly,

but not in a way
that could be misconstrued.

You stay between him and the door.

And then, if something happens...

- Then you lost the game that day.
- If Chuck loses his job,

then some other guy like Chuck...
Maybe even named Chuck...

Will give Chuck a job

as head of security at
Chuck Corp. I-If I lose my job,

I'm-I'm sleeping on my mother's
boyfriend's couch in Pacoima.

Blake...

I don't want you
to play that game anymore.

Understood?

I don't lose.

Listen...

the mayor wants me to meet in his office

with community leaders

to discuss the situation with Maria.

Should I go?

It's an ambush.

But I think you can handle yourself.

You wanted to see me, boss?

You used to be a detective, right?

The best.

I'll be the judge of that.

Anything for me to go on?

You know anything about acting?

How do I look?

You look like the chief of police.

You're doing the dirty work of ICE.

What happens when you release her?

You can't answer!

ICE comes and grabs her. Those ICE people

wait outside the courthouse.

Even a woman who goes to
court for a restraining order?

Nothing has changed, nothing.

No, it was our officer

- who protected her from ICE.
- That officer is a hero.

Okay, okay. Tommy, Arturo Lopez.

He's a great supporter of the mayor,

and not only just for Latinos,

also, for example,

the Year of the Woman initiative.

- Mm-hmm.
- Arturo, would you like to say something?

Yes, thank you, Doug. Look,
my people didn't go to Oxford

like my friend the mayor.

They don't know about "sanctuary city."

All they see is this
beautiful Latina girl

is still in jail. Why?

And her daughter living with,
who, some Anglos?

She's living with my daughter
and her family.

Instead of living with her own mother.

The only way I can
protect Maria right now

is by keeping her in jail.

By law, you can only
hold her for 48 hours.

Or you can petition
a judge to extend that,

and we have, starting with
bank records that gave the judge

reason to believe that Maria de la Puerta

is guilty of a serious crime.

So whoever leaked those

bank records to make me look bad...

I guess it backfired.

Who wants to go see Grandma?

Grandma's not here.

Where's your Grandma live?

- Oregon.
- No, other Grandma.

She's in her office. We can walk.

Does Grandma like dogs?

Grandma loves dogs.

Will you just tell me the next
time you're coming downtown?

- I tried to call you.
- I've just been...

You know what? I'm not even gonna say it.

I know you're busy.

Can we just stipulate
that, uh, I'm a terrible mother,

- I've always been a terrible mother.
- You were a terrible mother.

I was not a terrible mother.

I was a B. B-minus.

I don't even know why I even keep trying.

Look, Kate, you left home for reasons

that had nothing to do with me...

I left to live with Dad.

...or your dad. How is Madison doing?

You can't just
change the subject like that.

This is police headquarters.
I can do whatever I want to do.

You want to yell at me,
invite me to dinner.

She sucks her thumb.

Well, you sucked your thumb.
Not at age 12.

I brought her downtown to go shopping

and I thought since I was in the
neighborhood maybe you'd want

to see your granddaughter
more than once a year.

You left, Kate. You left.

This is the relationship you wanted.

My mother didn't get out of bed
after my father died.

I was five. You have no idea
how hard life can be.

And I'm stuck in my pants.

Come to dinner.

- I'm sorry, Kate, I just...
- Tomorrow night.

Come on, kids.

"Let me get this straight.

I steal your dope,
beat the crap out of your..."

"Mealboy."

"Mealboy."

- Jos� Hern�ndez?
- You're up, bro.

Wait a minute, are you Jos� Hern�ndez?

That movie you did with Steven Seagal...

I had seen a lot of people
who were killed at the time,

so I used that.

I had the worst audition
of my life today.

You want to get a drink?

Yeah.

He's not in his gang anymore.

He's in his gang the way
Derek Jeter's still a Yankee.

But he's still in the database?

The database is forever.

So what's the story?

ICE has to show results, right?

Jos� Hern�ndez looks like
he'll rape your grandmother.

They arrest him, that looks like results.

- Is this a story or a theory?
- A cop told him that.

Put that face on TV, that's all they see.

Looks like he's involved
in something bad,

it looks like Maria's
involved in something bad,

while what Jos� Hern�ndez
is mostly involved in

is bad TV shows.

- So what was Reed doing there?
- I don't know.

And where did the money come from?

You sitting down?

Si... Where am I going?

The mayor's friend
from the meeting, Arturo Lopez,

he's the little girl's father.

Let me get around this traffic.

What?

How do I look?

Impressive.

- Not tired?
- I like it when people say

I look great for how tired I must feel.

I'll take it.

You like the Glock?

Y-You like to shoot?

I'm from Michigan.

How do you like L.A.?

We're not like this in Michigan.

Old habits die hard.

I was in and out of
this office all the time

with the old chief.

How can I help you?

Oh, no, no, uh, how can I help you?

Knock next time?

Can I speak off the record?

Well, why don't we start on the record.

Do you have a relationship
with Maria de la Puerta?

Maria de la Puerta and I

have been in a romantic
relationship for years.

I helped her get into this country...

And this is off the record...

Illegally, which is not unusual,

as we are all very aware.

And, yes, I am the father of her child.

And I can see you doing the math already.

She was 15 when she became pregnant,

and I was in my 30s.

Hey, in my country,
it's not that uncommon.

I've always taken care of them.

Look, um...

I knew your investigation
would ultimately find

the connection between me and Maria.

Maria and I, we-we had a quarrel.

She wants to spread her wings.
Hey, I understand it,

but I got jealous.

I-I was sure there was another man.

I knew Reed from police charities,

to which I always give,

and just asked him to keep an eye on her.

Which is why he was on the scene
when ICE tried to detain her.

If my situation
with Maria comes to light...

it will be very hurtful for my wife

and-and personally embarrassing to me.

What... To-to what purpose?

Well, if we weren't off the record,

I would say you just confessed

to the international
sex trafficking of a minor.

Maria's had a great life,
the life she wanted,

a beautiful daughter. Where's the harm?

Why do I feel like
this isn't the whole story?

You, uh, came to Los Angeles
to do other things

than torment Arturo Lopez.

If you do me this favor I can help you

in many, many ways

as diverse and, uh, magical

as this city you now call your own.

Just as, uh, I have helped

many, many others

who you will have to work with.

I just think

that it was imprudent
to talk to him about it.

He showed up in my office.

- Out of the blue?
- Mr. Mayor,

what about the substance
of these allegations?

- Might I interject?
- No, Mr. District Attorney,

you may not interject.
If you're suggesting

that I had any knowledge
that Arturo Lopez

smuggled an underage girl
into this country and had

- gotten her pregnant...
- He's not a friend of yours?

Oh, what's a friend?

- Might I interject?
- I barely knew him.

I put him on the Ethics
Commission as a favor to...

- I don't remember, somebody.
- The daughter

is 12. That means Maria was 15
when she got pregnant.

I know.

The optics are terrible.

No, it's not just the optics, Buddy.

I think what Blake is trying to say

is it's Kremlin time.
Airbrush him from the picture,

don't return his calls.

- He never existed.
- If I don't

arrest him, it's a cover-up.

- Might I interject?
- Sure, Bob,

- interject at will.
- Would I want Arturo Lopez

for my son-in-law? No.

Unless she testifies

against him, which I doubt,
what's the case?

That's not a cover-up, Tommy,
that's real life.

Tommy.

Stick around for a minute.

Clif Bar?

I've been doing this a
very long time, Mr. Mayor.

Do I have a case? I have a crime.

Bob Flake was elected
years ago by promising

to decriminalize marijuana,
which he actually told me

at one point makes him a better lawyer.

There are no term limits
on the D.A., okay?

Bob Flake is, like,

the furniture, he's here
until he dies of...

whatever, weed cancer.

But I'm the one that runs this city.

Can we say we run it together?

I have two years left until,
as the kids say,

I have to figure out
what I'm gonna do with my life,

and after that, city's all yours.

Well, then you had better tell me

what you are looking for here.

You do what you need to do.

Clear?

Okay, Mr. Mayor...

- Buddy.
- Ah.

Mr. Mayor, thank you for your time.

Next time, if you got a problem,
call me on my cell.

Okay? Leaks,

- disloyalty.
- Ah.

Your office sounds
very much like my office.

I had a mentor when I first started out.

I asked him,
"What's the secret to politics?"

He told me to watch The Godfather.

I'm sorry I'm late for dinner.

I'll just put it in the microwave.

Is Henry at work?

Well, they don't pay you
all that money for nothing.

Is that what you were gonna say?

Henry maximizes the addictive
power of a search algorithm,

and he makes 20 times what I make.

You don't think that's a problem?

Well, there does seem to be
some kind of a problem.

I have to get the kids to bed.

They want to sleep in sleeping bags.

Uh, you still gonna be here?

It's Madison.

Not just the thumb sucking.

She's fearful.

She wets the bed.

She won't take her clothes
off in front of me.

Just a lot of warning signs.

All right, tell me.

I think she was being sexually abused.

God.

What is wrong with people?

Use a mitt.

Sometimes the plate gets hot.

Girls, did you brush your teeth?

I'll take care of it.

This is my granddaughter, Luna.

This is my daughter, Kate.

What a smile.

Like her father.

Madison looks so happy.

So, uh, who was Madison's father?

I don't know.

You were 15 years old

when Madison was born.
You don't remember?

Is it the same man

who brought you into the country?

Yes, he takes...

He took care of us.

You mean he sent you money.

If you're under arrest and
you don't want to talk to me,

I have to respect that.

It's called Miranda rights,

the right to remain silent.

So, you are no longer under arrest.

I don't understand.

I am the chief of police.
You're free to go.

Go. They just have to process you out.

And then what?

The money stopped a month ago
because you tried to leave.

Am I right?

He's a powerful man.

Even the police obey him.

I can tell by the way
he looks at my daughter,

the way he touches her...

Is that why you left?

She's almost the same age I was.

I know when she comes into her
time, he will do the same thing.

Maria, it is possible

that he already has.

You don't owe him your place
in this country.

You don't owe him your daughter.

You don't owe him your silence.

I know who did this to you,

but I want you to be able
to say his name.

LAPD!

Turn around!
Put your hands behind your back!

We got him.

Suspect coming out.

Mommy! Mommy!

Mommy! Mommy!

- Hola.
- Hola.

Thank you.

I'm late. Walk with me.

Okay. Couple of things.

Uh, Maria's now in witness protection,

since she's testifying against
a politically powerful man.

Good. Now ICE can't touch her.

And then there's Reed.

Should we suspend him?

I don't know. What do you think?

He lives up in Santa Clarita.

Transfer him to Harbor,
admin detail, nine-to-five.

He'll have four hours a day
in rush hour to contemplate

the privilege of wearing the uniform.

Go ahead. Say it.

- What?
- I launched

an investigation
into a friend of the mayor's.

In my otherwise forgettable
30-year career,

there have been six chiefs
of police, and I'm still here.

Mostly 'cause I never
do anything like that.

So you think it was dumb?

No. I get a kick out of it.

Good first week, Chief.

So, my topic tonight is Title IX,

which introduced into American law

the gender equality so many of us

have benefited from.

Okay. You know what, I'm gonna, uh...

I'm a cop.

Uh, I'm a woman.

I am a gay woman.

And...

So, I'm gonna put my speech over here.

Uh...

All right, so, let's
talk about how it feels

to be not only

the first female chief of police
in Los Angeles,

but also how it feels to be a gay woman

in America in the year 2020

who also happens to be
the chief of police.

These were the calls we used
to get at the nurses' station.

Oh, people are funny.

You think that's funny?

Don't you?

That's when I decided
to go back to graduate school.

I don't know why I ever
left graduate school.

I'm gonna have my second glass
of wine in my pajamas.

Interested?

That's the nicest offer
I've had in a long time.

Then take it.

Mm. I'm just not very good at this.

It's not an exam.

Well, the sad truth is

I am at a point in my life

where I'd rather have
the extra hour's sleep.

It was really nice meeting you, Tommy.

My marriage is falling apart.

What, did you have a fight?

I want you to come stay with us.

Are you sure?

You never...

Oh, it's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

How can I forgive someone
I don't even know?

Who I was...

...I didn't know either.

I didn't know who I was.

I wish I could have saved you
and your father all that pain.

Is that what love is?

What?

Like a wish,

more than a real thing.

Let me go pack.
