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 yougonna 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?

We started this journey
together.

I think we should end it
that way.

I thought we were tight.

You did?

Um, we are.

I mean, why? What?

You told
your ethics professor

she should come for
a ride along?

No.

We -- No.

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

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.

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.

Has she been depressed
lately?

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

but Rita refused any help.

drinking a lot?

No, the doctor prescribed
antidepressants,

Updated Amber Alert.

New suspect vehicle isa green Ford Fiesta.

License plate3-Paul-Charles-Ida-0-2-6.

Suspect is Rita Cissane.

31-year-old white femalewho lost her baby to SIDS.

This case is all the nightmaresin my closet combined.

I know. Sorry.

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

With all the things we seeon the job,

the -- the things I knowabout 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 differentfrom 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 womenwould 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 bea reality show so bad.

Right? I would watch
the hell out of that.

Rita is negativeon any previous 5150 holds,

and there are no registeredfirearms 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 wedon't have enough information

to know what
we're dealing with.

But that's every call.

It's a constant struggleto figure things out

before it's too late.

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

Go for 7-Adam-19.

Did you studypostpartum 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 attachmentand then guilt

for not feeling attached.

Some are overwhelmed by paranoia --

visions of horrible thingshappening to their own child.

I see Rita turned downtreatment.

That tells me she's probably dealing with shame,

trying to cope alone,isolating.

Now add to that
the trauma

of finding her childunresponsive.

That could precipitatea mental break.

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

she could be thinking aboutharming 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.

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

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.

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.

of my ex-wife.

Please call us

anything else.
Okay.

Control, 7-Adam-19, I got
the vehicle, unoccupied.

She's on foot.

We need backup

to secure
a 10-block radius

I don't like this.

She wouldn't have abandoned
the car

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 situationwas 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 tenuoussituation.

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.

eyes on the suspect.

Fourth Street Bridge.

She has the baby.
She's standing at the railing.

Possible jumper.

[ Baby fusses ]You never feel like
what you're doing...

She's trying to
convince herself

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

What happens when
she figures out the truth?

It's hard to say

Hi, Rita.

I'm here to help.

Is this Casey?

Yes.

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 ]

How far along are you?

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.

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?

Just look in those pretty,
brown eyes.

[ Engine shuts off ]

Well, thank you
for today.

This is an experience
I will not forget.

Well, we should schedule

another one of theselittle ride alongs

so that we can continuethe 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.

I will see you in class.

Looking forward.

I think that went well,
all things considered.

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

How'd it go
with Professor Ryan?

Good, I think.

She's gonna be calling you to
talk about, uh, police reform --

for her book.
