Good morning. You ready to go? [ Door closes ]

As I'll ever be. You?

We'll head out right after roll call.

See you in there.

[ Door opens ]

Yo, you should've come out with us last night.

We hit this barista jam down in the Arts District.

A what?

Yeah, uh, celebrity baristi

pull espresso shots from artisanal beans,

whip up latte art.

It's total fire.

Okay, I know all those words separately, but together...

Oh, then we jammed with this Cowpunk band till like 4:00 a.m.,

then went to Venice Beach to watch the sunrise.

Okay, you have a singular way of making me feel [ Cellphone ringing ]

Sorry. Hang on one second.

Yo! This is he.

What?

Well, there must be some mistake.

No, um, I will look into that today. Thank you.

I'm so sorry about that. Thank you.

What?

Uh, my tuition payment for Henry's college

didn't go through -- insufficient funds.

I thought you had his whole four years squirreled away.

I do. It's -- I'm sure it's just a mistake.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Okay, before you hit the street today,

a few orders of business.

One of my duties as Sergeant

is to run periodic assessments on officers under my command

to ensure that the duty manual is being followed

and that, personally, you are all above reproach.

Then I hope you didn't read my diary.

[ Laughter ]

Uh, what exactly is being assessed?

Occupational integrity.

From how we maintain our equipment

to the upkeep of all of our certifications.

If we can't obey every rule,

how can we expect that from citizens?

Exactly.

This is a list of all minor deficiencies.

Officer West will be in charge

of sharing those infractions with you

and making sure this station is in compliance

with all regulations.

So I won't be riding with Officer Lopez today, sir?

No, she and I will be out of the station

for the rest of the day.

So, that being said,

Sergeant Roberts from Pacific Division

will be filling in.

I expect to hear good things.

That's it.

Officer Nolan, a word, please.

Nolan: Yes, sir? Any problem?

I didn't want to say this in front of everyone,

but your credit score's been red-flagged.

A credit risk is 620.

You're at 300.

That's impossible.

I check my credit score every six months.

I've never been below 700.

Well, it's under it now.

A cop in financial trouble

is susceptible to bad actions.

If you don't raise your score to acceptable standards ASAP,

they will cut you from the program.

Yes, sir. I'll fix it. Good.

First, Henry's tuition bounces. Now this?

Something's really wrong.

Man: Here you go.

So, are you nervous about meeting Rachel's dad?

Please.

It's got to be a tick nerve-racking.

Rachel adores her dad.

And he's gonna love me.

Colin was a sheriff for 30 years.

Yeah, in a town with two stop lights.

L.A. or Mayberry, a cop's a cop.

Oh, no, he's from Sweet Home, not Mayberry.

No, I-I know. It's --

Mayberry, like, the TV show?

What TV show? Never mind. [ Sighs ]

Hey, where are Lopez and Grey going?

Lompoc Prison.

Guy who shot Grey and killed his partner is up for parole.

Parole? But he killed a cop.

It's been 10 years.

Must've gotten credit for good behavior.

I doubt they'll release him.

Why is Lopez going?

Lopez and her T.O. were first on scene.

Officer Rowland died in her arms.

That's awful.

10 years ago, Lopez would've been a rookie.

It was her first shift.

We'll get there in two hours if you heavy-foot it.

So, I cleared the way with local law

so they don't sweat a black-and-white blur on the interstate.

Well, we won't need to stop for food.

Turkey jerky. Gummy bears.

And breath mints.

The Advocate Group send that over?

Yep. Victim Emergency Bags.

Everything a survivor needs to get through the stages of grief.

I appreciate the thought,

but I went through all those stages a long time ago.

Feels like yesterday.

That it does.

You speak with Christine?

Yeah. Yeah, um, last night. She's not going.

We'll have to speak on the widow's behalf.

[ Sighs ]

You ready?

Yep.

[ Engine starts ]

Nolan: No. No, no, no. This is a nightmare.

I only carry one credit card.

My credit report says I have seven.

Someone obviously stole my identity

and opened cards in my name.

And ran up big balances.

And they emptied Henry's college account.

How am I gonna fix this?

Detective Summerland, Identify Theft Division.

He'll know what to do.

Alrighty. Here we go.

Now, first thing we got to do is super important.

We got to separate all the legitimate charges

from the illegitimate charges, alright?

So, we're gonna need one of these...

[ Keyboard clacking ] Let's see.

Looks like you spent $19,000,

uh, for an ocelot coat?

I'm sorry. What is an ocelot again?

Something that would like its fur back.

That's -- No. Okay, okay.

So, I think we all agree that charge

is pretty gosh darn illegitimate, right?

Okay. [ Whistles tunelessly ]

Looks like you also paid $15,000 for tennis shoes.

$15,000?

Do they come with a car?

[ Laughs ]

Okay, look, none of those charges

on those six cards are mine,

but the college account is, and it's been emptied.

How long will it take for the bank to put that money back?

Uh, yeah,

so the -- the bank,

um, they...will not give you your money back,

because you only have 60 days

to notify them of fraudulent activity,

and if you don't, then no way, Jose,

are they on the hook.

And they probably made that "clear" to you

in, like, criminally small print, so...

I only check the account once a semester

when I make the payment.

Okay, well, what about Nolan's credit?

Because if we can't get that sorted,

he is out of the F.T.O. program.

10-4. I got you guys covered.

I will have a gorgeous case file for you

by end of business,

and the case file should be enough for the LAPD, so...

Okay, well, that's good news.

Henry's gonna get kicked out of the school

if they don't get that money.

Okay, let's -- let's not go that far.

We just need to find the guy who stole it.

Actually, when you do nab your man,

you will still need to persuade the court

to force him to make restitution, so...

How long will that take?

Oh, just three years. Five years, tops.

Five years? No, no, sorry.

Uh, what I should say is it will be three to five years

unless the thief happens to be overseas,

in which case it'll be more like never.

Wait a minute.

He bought an Allenbach.

Does that have fur, too?

No, better.

It has GPS.

It's a watch, and I am betting

our thief is wearing that right now.

So, have you decided where you're taking Rachel's dad for dinner?

I mean, too fancy, and he'll think you're a showoff.

But he is from out of town,

so you got to deliver a celebrity sighting.

We have a reservation for 7:00 p.m. at The Smokehouse.

Ooh. Old school.

I like it. [ Cellphone rings ]

Oh, Rach. We were just talking about you.

That's -- That's awful. Yeah, we're on it.

-What's up? -I calculated the value

of all the items

that Officer West catalogued at the residence so far,

and when you cross-reference the valuation

of all the seized assets against the --

Okay, d-d-don't get all mathy on him.

Oh, gosh, sorry.

We know that Mr. Neil,

he stole close to $2 million, right?

However, the value of his seized assets,

they're only worth $700,000.

So, where's the missing money?

My guess is that the money is probably

sitting pretty in an offshore account.

How can we find that?

The information is most likely on his computers.

However, his computers happen to be R.S.A.-encrypted,

which means there's totally no way we can crack them.

But if we have Jordan's computers,

he doesn't have access to the money either, right?

N-Not unless he's got a backup...drive.

Which is the first thing he'll head for

once he bails out,

leaving all of his victims to get pennies on the dollar

while he slips off to a non-extradition country

and sips Mai Tais on a beach.

What are you doing? I'm calling Jackson,

[ Sighs ] The odds of finding one person are miniscule.

But all 4 million aren't breaking into cars

in this neighborhood, are they?

No, sir. See? We've already narrowed it down.

The thing is, if he's smart,

he hit as many cars as he could in 10 minutes

and then jumped on the freeway.

He could be in Barstow by now.

"If he's smart"?

When you have you ever known a criminal to be smart, Lucy?

He's probably taking a break nearby,

having tacos with extra cheese, extra salsa.

That your guy?

Hey. Did something happen with my dad?

He's been acting weird ever since you got his bag back.

Rachel, I'm so sorry. Just...

He told you.

We should go talk.

No, we shouldn't.

This is none of your business.

Rachel, I -- This is my life, Tim.

Jackson: That's Tony Coulson,

the victim in the vandalism case

I found behind the file cabinet.

I ran that fingerprint that was inside

and got a match -- a suspect.

Great.

No? No, the suspect is dead,

found beaten to death

just a block from Tony's house --

just one day after the crime.

So, you think it was Tony getting some payback.

Well, I would need a senior officer present

so I can interrogate Mr. Coulson.

Forget it. Your entire case is circumstantial.

The only way to close it is to get a confession,

and that guy looks way too calm.

Kick it up to Homicide and move on.

No, no, he's primed and ready to break.

Look, I've kept him waiting an hour and a half,

maxed out the heat in there so his core temperature

is triggering a fight-or-flight response.

Look, he just needs a push. I'm looking at the guy.

He's nowhere near ready to break.

I did it!

It was me!

I killed him!

That bastard came back the next day

to graffiti my garage again!

Can you believe that? I had just painted it!

I chased him for a block,

and he came at me, we fought,

and then the -- and then -- it was an accident.

You were saying?

I got a hit on that SUV,

the one that was idling in front of Jordan's place.

It belongs to a seriously bad guy.

Daxton Reid.

He runs everything from heroin to weapons

out the back of his auto shop,

and he carries around a machete

because he likes the way it cuts through bone.

Daxton Reid. I know that name.

He's on the list of Jordan's victims.

That's why he was skulking around Jordan's place.

He found out who stole his money,

and now he wants it back.

It also explains Jordan's split lip.

A little "motivational violence."

What are the odds that two of the people he ripped off

are a cop and a psycho?

It'd be funny if Jordan wasn't about to end up

cut into pieces.

Well, we got to find Jordan before that happens.

How? His watch was logged as evidence.

Actually, I let him keep that

just in case we needed to find him again.

Officer Rowland's murder

being released back into society

And I urge the Board

to reject his application for parole.

Sergeant Wade Grey to make a statement.

Sergeant Grey, would you state your name for the record?
