Jackson: No! Chris!No sign of the suspect?

Harper: No, but we did
recover his weapon.

Wait a minute.
There's supposed to be a gun.

Officer Erin Cole never switched
her camera on during the raid.

Armstrong.
No!

Armstrong.She said his name
before she saw him.

You did good, my friend.
Very good.

Do you realize what
you are accusing him of?

If I'm right, he's betraying
everything we stand for.

So we gather
more evidence.It's not enough.

We got to
trip him up somehow.

We got to
get into his head.

Tell me what you know
about Armstrong.

A hidden compartment
in the laundry room wall...

Armstrong: You broke into
my house to kill me

because I found out
you were dirty.

No one's
gonna believe that.

I won't be the only one
saying it.

There's another cop
on the payroll. John Nolan.

Aah!Control,
this is Officer Nolan.

You don't have time
for that, John.

You got to go,
or they're gonna find it.

He murdered Erin Cole.
He's setting me up.

Okay, okay.

Let us inside

so we can take
a look around

and you and I can talk.

Do you have a warrant?

Nolan, you do not want to
play things this way.

Actually, sir, this is exactly
how you want me to play things.

Two cops are dead,
and a third one is a murderer.

We're both gonna be
under the microscope on this.

So we need to play this
exactly by the book,

what I need you to do
is bag the evidence.

Hide it somewhere else.

easily be found.

I-I can't tamper
with the evidence.

No, you won't be.
Legally, we'll argue that...

with knowledge of
at least two dirty cops,

you had no choice
but to secure the evidence

until you knew
it was gonna be safe.

Well, that might fly in court,

I hear you.

Percy: Jackson.
Dad.

How is he?The bullet went
straight through.

Doesn't seem likeit hit anything vital,

but he's definitely
gonna need surgery.

What did he say to you?

Same thing he said
at the scene --

Nolan tried to kill him

after admittingthat there was damning evidence

hidden at his house.

I-I'm sorry.Like, I-I don't believe him.

I mean,Nolan's a great cop,

the best of us,

but so is Armstrong.

Stop. Stop.

Our job is to collect facts
right now, not form opinions.

Yeah. I'm sorry.

It's been a horrible few days --Chris' death, and now this.

It's easy to lose focus,

but that's exactly why
it's vital that we don't.

taped the conversation.

that would have been smart.

Armstrong needs to frame
both of us

No. My security system

Your Honor,
I would object

under evidence code 1040
through 1042,

on the grounds that it may
unnecessarily reveal

information, sources,
and investigative tactics.

[ Chuckles ]

Well, given that
the subject of the search

is a police officer familiar
with investigative tactics,

evidence code section 1040
should not apply.

Respectfully.What exactly
are the charges

the state is considering
against Officer Nolan?

Well, for starters,
assault with a deadly weapon,

attempted murder
of a peace officer,

and conspiracy.

Clearly an act
of self-defense.

Detective Armstrong lured
Officer Nolan to his house,

pulled a weapon,
and fired.

Now, Officer Nolan returned fire
in self-defense,

and no physical evidence
listed here asserts otherwise.

Sadly, Your Honor,
an informant has corroborated

Detective Armstrong's
account.

In a sworn statement,
he identified Officer Nolan

as working with
the Derian crime family.

Um, but their informant
has not be certified "tested"

or "reliable."

And with personal jeopardy

as a murder suspect
in this very case,

his account can hardly
be considered credible

without cross-examination.

[ Sighs ]

The state makes the case

corruption exists
within the division.

Officer Nolan
is connected to that,

and there is imminent threat
to the destruction of evidence

without expedient action.

Technically,
you're not under arrest.

You're cooperating.

But once you're not free to
leave beyond a brief detention,

that constitutes an arrest
and starts the clock.

present their case against you.

I know that.

Of course.

But I also know
that you're in shock,

and I need you to focus.

If convicted,
you're looking at 25 years,

which is why you need to
let me do all the talking.

One mistake,
one ill-chosen word,

and you are going
to prison.

But we don't have to
play it like that.

And you think
that means something?

[ Scoffs ] If you were
any other defendant --

[ Sighs ]
What?

Never mind.No, I want to know.

If I was
any other defendant, what?

You are a white man.
A cop.

You have already been treated
with a level of deference

my other clients
would never get.

If you were Black
or Brown,

the police would've created
exigent circumstances

and kicked the door in,

shot you if they thought
you reacted aggressively,

arrested you
if you surrendered,

confident that the D.A.
would bully you

into a plea deal.

That's not fair.
I'm not that kind of cop.

Neither is Grey.You telling me
you've never bent the rules?

Not like that.

Look, you have a chance
to survive this

because of who you are.

But only if you do
exactly what I say.

Can you handle that?

It's been alleged
that the Derian crime family

recruited you during your tenure
as an undercover operative.

In exchange for money
and concealing your identity,

you provided
sensitive police intelligence

which helped them
avoid prosecution.

Now, is there any truth
to this?

Any bit at all?

Absolutely not, sir.

That is Armstrong's truth.

He did those things,

and he is using me and Nolan
to cover his tracks.

Detective Armstrong
has an unblemished record

here in this Department.

So I'm gonna need to see
some pretty serious evidence

to substantiate that.

Yes, sir.

We have body cam
and dash cam video

that shows Armstrong making
a series of texts

at critical moments
during the hunt

for Officer Rios' killer.

It was Armstrong
who redirected Nolan

into booking the murder weapon
into evidence

so that Erin Cole could steal
the gun from Nolan's shop.

Look, you can see here --
Armstrong hands her a note.

Do you have that note?

No, sir.

Then how can you know
what was on it?

I can't know for sure,
but I --

Armstrong says
that you and Nolan

lured him to the oil fields
under false pretenses

planning to kill him
because he was onto you.

That's another lie.

We were trying
to identify

the burner phone number
he was using

in hopes of getting our hands
on his call and text records.

And did you get any?No.

I mean, we did identify
the phone number,

but the phone had just been
activated that morning.

Which is when we decided
that Officer Nolan

should go speak
with Rosalind Dyer in prison.

What? Why?We figured
she would have

some sort of insight
into his criminality.

She also tried to have Armstrong
murdered a few months ago,

which makes it believable

that Nolan went to her
to conspire with her.

No. No.
That is not what happened.

Look,
this is Nolan's body cam

from when Armstrong
shot Erin Cole.

You can clearly see

that she says his name
beforeshe sees him.

Why didn't you come forward
with Officer Nolan's suspicions

prior to taking investigative
action on your own?

Why didn't you instruct your
trainee to trust the system?

I can see now
that I made a mistake.

But at the time,
I did not think

that it was in the department's
best interest

to disparage a fellow officer
without additional evidence --

That is not your damn job!

What does the placard say
on my desk?

Commander.
Internal Affairs.

This office is
the only investigative unit

required by
the California Constitution.

Do you know why?

Because police officers
are infused

with the power
of the state,

the power to take a life
in pursuit of justice,

power that is
all too easily abused.

And yet at every turn,
cops like you

look at us like the enemy --
the rat squad!

How the hell do you expect me
to root out problem cops

when I'm sabotaged
at every turn?!

We are going to tear
your life apart, Detective.

And if we find
as much as a typo

in the statement
you're about to write,

you won't be a cop
anymore.

[ Breathes deeply ]

We should be tearing Armstrong's
house apart, not Nolan's.

Relax, Boot.
We're doing both.

Look, we got a job to do.
We can't play favorites.

There is no way that
Harper and Nolan are dirty.

Three days ago, you'd
have said the same
thing about Erin Cole.

Y-- Sure.

But I know Nolan

a hell of a lot better
than I knew Erin, and so do you.

He's got the strongest
moral compass of us all.

Maybe. Or maybe that's only
who he is when it's easy.

Look,

we only think
we know other people.

came to your house
to kill you.Yeah.

But first,
he told you about

a bunch of evidence
hidden at his place?

Why would he waste time
doing that?

You know him.Yeah. I do.

But he's not a boaster,

and he's definitely
not stupid.

Did we do all this?

apart before he came in.

Why would Nolan do that?

that Nolan tried to kill him.

I am required to advise

that you do nothave
the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can
and will be used against you.

Refusal to fully and completely
answer all of my questions

will result in
your immediate termination

to the District Attorney

No. He won't.

Not another word.

No matter
the consequences.

If everything
you just said is true,

then why did you flee

because he was in fear
for his life.

Is that true?Not completely.

John.I left Armstrong's...

after he told me
he had hidden

incriminating evidence
at my house.

Honestly, I panicked.

Rosalind got into my head
at the prison.

She gave me slim odds
at survival against Armstrong

because he was smarter
than me

and more ruthless.

And she was right.

the frame coming.

Tim,
it's not a problem.

Okay.
Yeah, we can handle it.

I know I made a mess of this.

You have to let me tryand fix it.You can't.

Even if everything

and Detective Armstrong

your actions might very well
have allowed him

to muddy the waters enough
to escape punishment.

Yes, sir.
I understand.

And that'll be
my burden to bear.

But right now, we have

as it sounds.

Yes.Yes, it is.

O-Okay, listen.
Just...

Ruben Derian is used to
playing with loaded dice.

He's always
a step ahead of us

because Armstrong's
been feeding him intel,

but now, for the first time,
he's flying blind.

He's gonna be desperate
to know what's going on,

whether the frame on me
is working,

whether Armstrong
has flipped.

And why would
he listen to you?

I'm the only guy
more desperate than he is.

Look, Armstrong is burned
in this department

no matter what.

But if Ruben can get Serj
to admit to the frame,

I'm redeemed.

I can stay on the job.

it would take

to cut a hole in the wall
and plant evidence.

Yes, sir. Good job.

Where you at now?Cemetery.

Armstrong spent 31 minutes here
after he left Nolan's.

Probably saying goodbye

things went sideways.

That's what I thought,

Word is that Armstrong has
a go-bag hidden somewhere.

No. But I'm gonna do

I still have a job.

Don't celebrate yet.

You're not gonna like

Detective Harper.

Sir, can I say something,
please?

As a training officer,
I have one job,

and that is
to teach Officer Nolan

the right way
to be a cop.

And...I failed.

I should bear
all the consequences.

Nyla, no.Yes.

As touching as this is,

Officer Nolan has received
enough instruction

to know
right from wrong.

Clearly, I have given you both
way too much leeway.

That's on me.

What is Noble Cause Corruption,
Officer Nolan?

When an officer justifies
bending or breaking the rules

if they believe that infraction
is being done

in the name of justice.

The ends justify the means.

The mind-set
that bad behavior is okay

as long as
it produces justice

is a cancer.

And it's long past time
we treat it as such.

Big changes are being made
moving forward.

Those changes are starting
right here, right now.

You both will receive

letters of reprimand
in your file.

In addition,
Officer Nolan,

you will be held over
the FTO program

for an additional month,

and you will have to pass
a Review Board Test to advance.

Yes, sir.
To be clear,

receiving a letter of reprimand
as a rookie

is almost certain

to keep you from advancing
in the department.

So any hopes of joining
a specialized unit

or making detective
should be abandoned.

Given those constraints,
you will have to decide

if the life of a patrol officer
is good enough for you.

Alright, go home.
Get some rest.

I am so sorry.[ Scoffs ]

John, I --It's not your fault.
