JACKSON: Last day of training.

Last day of Tim barking orders.

Last day that they can fire us
at a moment's notice.

Last day of them recording
every flaw for posterity.

It's kind of bittersweet.

Nope. Just sweet.

[CHUCKLES]
Sorry. Sorry.

Guys, stop apologizing.

You guys have finally made it,

and I will be right behind you.

Look, the extra month will fly by.

You know it, now...

Is Tim gonna do anything special

to memorialize
your last shift together?

Not knowingly.

You know, when you move on

from an important relationship,

there are steps you should take
to ensure a healthy parting.

We are going to work through
every single one of them.

Uh, how, if he doesn't know
you're doing it?

Trickery. Bye.

That's... Yeah.

Who are you gonna ride with today?

No idea.

Grey's busy, and Smitty's
getting a back tattoo.

- That's...
- Yeah. Don't ask.

So, we are out of TOs, and I'm guessing

I'm finishing my rookie year
at the front desk.

- Huh.
- LOPEZ: Boot.

Where's our gear?

Wait, what?

We started this journey together.

I think we should end it that way.

- Don't you?
- Yeah.

Then let's go.

♪ ♪

I thought we were tight.

You did? Um, we are.

That's... I mean, why? What?

You told your ethics professor

she should come for a ride along?

- No, we... No.
- Mm.

We didn't even, uh, discuss it,

but I-I need to pass this class, so...

It's super important
she doesn't get shot today.

No promises.

You ride with me, you ride
the roller coaster.

Okay, Nyla, I know that...

- Hi. Good morning.
- Good morning.

Uh, Professor Ryan, this is Detective

Nyla Harper, my training officer.

I'm told you're gonna be going

on a ride along with us today.

I hope that's okay.

I didn't want to put you
in an awkward position,

by asking you,
but your watch commander said

that you'd feel cheated,
if I didn't ride with you,

- so...
- And he was right.

[CHUCKLES]

- Uh, shall we?
- Mm.

Okay.

HARPER: So, you, uh,
sign all the paperwork

that says that we are not liable

if you are maimed or killed?

I did. It seemed a bit excessive.

Mm. No, it's not.

I mean, we will try our best
to protect you,

but we cannot guarantee your safety.

You will be exposed,

to all the same dangers that we are.

Well, more farmers die yearly
than cops do.

I didn't have to sign
a liability waiver

to go apple picking.

HARPER: That's because
you weren't picking them

- out of a wood chipper.
- NOLAN: Uh, hey,

have you ever seen
a body camera up close?

- No.
- Well, they're always running,

uh, until we actually need them.

We switch them on,
then they start recording,

and they go back two minutes

so we can catch any of that
last-minute action.

Oh, yet they're always broken

whenever the cops cross the line.

You'd be surprised
how many police officers

actually want a body camera.

- Oh.
- That way,

it makes it easier to
disprove complaints.

Okay, then you will not mind

if I record the ride along myself...

as research tool.

No problem.

when we hit the strip club
for the lunch buffet.

Not really.

Come on.

I mean, we've been riding
shoulder to shoulder

- for over a year now.
- [ENGINE STARTS]

And soon, there'll be a new
rookie sitting in that seat,

annoying the crap out of me
for 12 hours a day.

So, you're not gonna miss
riding with me at all?

It's a job, not happy hour.

Mm. Denial. Check.

- What?
- Hmm?

Nothing.

So, you teach full time?

No. Just nights and weekends.

My day job is civil rights litigation.

When do you sleep?

Sleep? What's that?

Oh, is that what you were doing
in my class on Monday?

- [CHUCKLES]
- What?

No. Uh, no.

Sometimes, I just... I hold a blink

for a really long time.

You sure lying to your teacher
is the way to go here?

Actually, now that I hear it out loud,

- I'd like to revise my answer.
- Yeah. Uh-huh.

- [CHUCKLES]
- So, uh, given

how busy you are,

why take the time for a ride along?

Well, I'm finishing up a book
on the future of policing.

Hey, what would you say is the, uh,

biggest challenge you face day to day?

Finding a safe bathroom.

Uh, that is... that is true.

I mean, we can't use a stall bathroom,

for safety reasons.

The door has to go floor to ceiling.

And the location of the
bathroom, also very important,

so that not a lot of people
can see us entering and leaving.

No. I'm your TO.

It's my job to make sure you're
not dangerously incompetent

when you hit the streets without
supervision tomorrow.

You know, when I was a rookie,

I couldn't wait to get off probation.

Oh, I am excited.

Believe me.

But I also know the importance of

acknowledging your loss

when going through something like this.

"Acknowledging your loss"?

Hmm.

What is this,
some "Intro to Psych" closure BS?

It's not BS.

It's a widely used psychological model

to help people cope with
the end of a relationship.

Relationship?

Partnership. Mentorship.

Whatever you want to call it.

Look, I don't want to call it anything.

It's not like you won't see me
tomorrow at the station.

You know, what's there to talk about?

A lot.

I have a list.

- So...
- A list?

You know, littering is a $250 fine.

Worth it.

What are you smiling about?

Well, we were at denial,

but now we have moved to anger.

That's more progress.

Thank you.

Who owns the Tacoma?

Uh, that would be the father...

Jared Young.

Looks like they're going through
a messy divorce.

He was visiting the hospital
earlier that day,

but security had him leave.

There may have been
some kind of threat.

So, what, he went back in
and he just took the baby?

Jared's got quite an extensive
criminal history here.

Lot of narcos, uh, narco possession,

possession to sell,
under the influence.

Mm, just the guy you want
taking care of your newborn.

Well, we got the whole city
looking for him.

whole city is mobilized to find...

Is she by any chance white?

you think if the parents had properly

worked through their separation,

No...

Mom needs to get as far
away from him as possible.

But I do think that having

easier access to counseling,

and mental health resources

could prevent situations like this.

Sure. But most guys still wouldn't go.

Yeah, because we stigmatize
mental health,

treat it as less important
than physical health.

It's ridiculous that they teach
sex ed in schools,

but not how to be in a relationship.

I wish someone taught me
how to be in this one.

Uh, reinventing policing...

With a more limited mandate.

Amen to that.

You agree with taking resources
away from police?

If it lessens our load,
then yes, absolutely.

Yeah, we complain about it
all the time.

Police have become the catch-all

he was a detective when I was born,

trying to make a name for himself.

Lot of long hours.

But you were close.

Yeah, eventually.

got more stable hours.

"Both the good and the bad..."

And "express gratitude."

Okay.

So, what have I taught you
that you're grateful for?

Um... hmm.

Not to second-guess myself.

Yeah, early on,

one look from you could
send me into a tailspin.

- Mm-hmm.

But I've learned to trust my instincts,

even if they go against
what you would do,

which will be crucial
for undercover work.

You serious about being UC?

Yeah.

Why? Do you not think I'm tough enough?

No, it's not about being tough.

I mean, look,
you're as tough as they come.

It's just, you're...

Look what happened with Tamara.

You gave her your car,

And today...

Today, this whole need
to relive the last year,

talk about our feelings.

I happen to think
that caring about people,

connecting with them,

is what makes me a good cop.

It does.

Just not a good UC.

Look, to work undercover,

you have to be able to lie
to someone's face...

Make them believe
you're their best friend,

and then stab them in the back.

I just don't think you have
that killer instinct.

Ouch.

is because...

Because you have feelings for me, too.

what most people consider to be SIDS

is actually, accidental suffocation,

from soft bedding or a toy.

Uh, right now, we have to
focus on your wife.

Is there anywhere you think
she might have gone?

I don't know, I've reached out

to everyone I can think of,

but she's not really herself right...

- Right now.
- Has she been depressed lately?

Yeah. I mean, she hasn't been
eating or sleeping.

The doctor said she had, um...

PPD,

but Rita refused any help.

Uh, has she been drinking a lot?

- Any drugs or medication?
- No.

No, the doctor prescribed
antidepressants,

but Rita wouldn't take them.

I'm just so scared that...

- Thank you, sir.
- Okay, thank you.

Please don't hurt her.

- She's not herself right now.

You have to promise me that
you won't hurt her, please.

Updated Amber Alert.

New suspect vehicle is
a green Ford Fiesta.

License plate 3-Paul-Charles-Ida-0-2-6.

Suspect is Rita Cissane.

31-year-old white female,

who lost her baby to SIDS.

This case is all the nightmares
in my closet combined.

I know. Sorry.

How am I ever gonna let my kid
out of my sight?

With all the things we see on the job,

the -the things I know about people...

Look, the things we see are outliers.

Look, every day, we show up
on people's worst day.

We see the exception, not the rule.

I know that up here...

- But...
- Look, whether the kid

is with you or Wesley or a nanny,

they'll be fine, okay?

It's just so different
from the way I grew up.

Wesley was raised by a nanny.

But, when my mom went to work,

she put me in the back room,

and the other women
would check in on me.

Can't exactly drop off Lopez Jr.
in Holding every morning.

[CHUCKLES]
I don't know.

Smitty is surprisingly maternal.

[CHUCKLES]

That is the most horrifying idea
I've ever heard...

And I want it to be
a reality show so bad.

Right? I would watch
the hell out of that.

Rita is negative on any
previous 5150 holds,

and there are no registered
firearms in her name.

If this woman's doctor

couldn't get through to her,
how will you?

I-I mean, this woman is in crisis.

She needs a psychiatrist.

Yeah, but the baby needs a cop.

The honest truth is we
don't have enough information,

to know what we're dealing with.

But that's every call.

It's a constant struggle
to figure things out,

before it's too late.

Uh, 7-Adam-19, go to channel nine.

Go for 7-Adam-19.

Did you study postpartum depression

- in your psych major?
- Yeah.

PPD is fairly common,
affects 1 in 8 new moms.

In most cases, they feel tired,
alone, guilty.

Some feel a lack of attachment
and then guilt,

for not feeling attached.

Some are overwhelmed by paranoia...

Visions of horrible things,

happening to their own child.

I see Rita turned down treatment.

That tells me she's probably
dealing with shame,

trying to cope alone, isolating.

Now add to that the trauma

of finding her child unresponsive.

That could precipitate a mental break.

If it's an extreme case of PPD,
which is rare,

she could be thinking about

harming herself or her baby.

Tim. Green Fiesta.

Plates match. That's our car.

Nolan, we found Rita's car.

21000 block of Manningham.

On our way. Let's go.

♪ ♪

LUCY: Control, 7-Adam-19,

we've located the Fiesta from
the revised Amber Alert.

21000 block of Manningham.

- [PLEASANT MUSIC PLAYS ON STEREO]
- No sign of suspect or child.

It's still hot.
She must have just ditched it.

MAN: Hey. You looking for the driver?

TIM: Yeah, you see where she went?

Nah. I was walking by
when she parked on the curb.

- LUCY: How long ago?
- About five minutes.

Enough time for Butch and I
to circle the block.

- Did she have a baby with her?
- No idea.

I just watched her totally
demolish that parking spot.

[LAUGHS] Reminded me
of my ex-wife.

Uh, yes, sir. Please call us

- if you remember anything else.
- Okay.

Control, 7-Adam-19,

I got the vehicle, unoccupied.

Witness says the suspect here
less than five minutes ago.

She's on foot.

We need backup and an airship

to secure a 10-block radius

for a grid search.

♪ ♪

I don't like this.

She wouldn't have abandoned the car

unless she stopped for a reason.

Odds are it won't be a good one.

We gotta find her fast.

FIONA: Is this crazy?

There's no way we find
her and the baby in time.

We've got multiple units
and an airship searching.

- We will find them.
- How?

- They could be anywhere.
- No.

On foot with a newborn
and a five-minute head start,

she's definitely within our grid.

Someone will have seen her. Just...

Pray we find her before
she does something rash.

♪ ♪

Up on the right.

[SIREN CHIRPS]

Not her.

Can I make a suggestion?

- Of course.
- Would it be helpful,

to have Rita's husband
brought down here for...

For when she's found?

That could be dangerous.

We don't know what the situation
was like at the house,

and even if the baby's death
truly was accidental,

there could have been marital issues

that added to Rita's PPD.

We'd be introducing a wildcard

to an already tenuous situation.

Wait, so it's all on you? I mean...

No matter what you
find when you get to her,

you have to be ready to deal with it?

What -What if you make a mistake?

We have to live with it.

If we can.

PILOT: All units, Air Three has
eyes on the suspect.

Fourth Street Bridge.

Repeat... Fourth Street Bridge.

She has the baby.

She's standing at the railing.

Possible jumper.
Repeat, possible jumper.

Here we go.

Control, advise Fire we have
a possible jumper

on Fourth Street Bridge.

See if they have a crash pad available.

We'll also need RA and
backup units, Code 2 high.

being a parent to a newborn...

She's not looking at the baby.

NOLAN: so much to learn.

- [BABY FUSSS]
- You never feel like

- She's trying to convince herself

that it's her baby she's holding.

Yeah. Deep down inside,
she knows it's not.

What happens when
she figures out the truth?

It's hard to say for sure.

It could break the spell or

it could send her over the edge,
literally.

Rita? I can get you some water.

Nolan.

Hey, Rita, I'm gonna introduce you

to my friend, Angela, okay?

Okay.

Hi, Rita.

I'm here to help.

Is this Casey?

Yes.

LOPEZ: I love that name.

My fiancé and I can't agree
on a name, for our baby.

How did you choose?

I don't know.

When she was born, she just
looked like a Casey.

[BABY FUSSING]

14 weeks.

I'm already scared about giving birth.

The pain.

Don't worry about the pain.

Once they put your baby in your arms...

And you look down into
those beautiful eyes,

it was all worth it.

I heard all newborns have blue eyes.

Not Casey.

Dark brown, right from the start.

The most amazing head of hair.

LOPEZ: I hope if I have a daughter,

she's born with hair.

My cousin's little girl, she was,

bald, for like the first 18 months.

Everyone thought she was a boy.

I love putting...

Casey's hair in little pigtails.

She always fights me,
but she looks so cute.

Rita...

Can you do something for me?

Can you look at Casey?

Well, thank you for today.

This is an experience
I will not forget.

Well, we should schedule

another one of these little ride alongs

so that we can continue
the conversation.

Oh, that won't be necessary.

[CAMERA CLICKS OFF]

The book's already written, isn't it?

I sent it to my publisher last week.

- Mm.
- What?

Then what was today about, then?

Just, an anecdote for the book tour?

No, I didn't know the day was
gonna end up the way it did.

But how do you write a book
about policing

without having seen it up close?

Oh, I have seen it. Believe me.

Today may have been
my first ride along,

but it was not my first time

sitting in the back seat of a cop car.

I see, but if you're going to
fix an engine,

don't you think it would be
helpful to look under the hood?

That is a flawed analogy,
Officer Nolan,

because a car is not actively

trying to keep you from fixing it.

Uh, excuse me.

Look...

I get that the path to real change

seems almost impossible.

I mean, police departments are
pros at circling the wagons,

when public opinion turns against them.

But...

I promise you,

the only way things really will change,

is if cops get on board.

I agree.

But cops only act when activists

make so much noise,
they cannot be ignored.

Like in Camden.

Look, you're talking to,

two police officers,

who would like to see things change,

and we're not the only ones

at the station that feels this way.

I just think that...

Uh, maybe you could benefit

from some of our insights.

Alright.

- You sold me.
- Great.

I'll tell Sergeant Grey.

I'm sure he'd love to
be part of the conversation.

Oh, thank you.

And thank you both, for the ride along.

Looking forward.

all things considered.

Oh, yeah. No, she's definitely
gonna give you an "A."
