Previously on "The
Rookie"... Bailey. Jason.

I'm John Nolan. And
you are? Her husband.

I'm trying to protect this city.

So you think putting
a 16‐year‐old into juvie

is gonna turn the tide
in the war on drugs?

I am in a good place.
James is great.

What did you find out?

Jason Wyler is the most charming
man on the planet.

He whispers
in all the right ears,

and whoever is his enemy ends up
on the wrong end of a shank.

What is happening? Why am I...

He's framing me.

Hearing that she's finally
facing some consequences,

it does well for my spirit.
I know who you are now.

And I'm coming for you.

BAILEY:
Let's talk about what's next.

Well,
it's pretty straightforward.

You can go to trial,
fight the charges,

or take a plea.

And if I fight and lose?

Most likely,
you'll do prison time.

And if I take a plea?

I feel confident
that we could get

a mandatory treatment program
and probation.

But I would still have
a drug charge on my record,

and at minimum, I would be
out of the Army Reserve

and I'd probably be fired
from the LAFD.

I would lose everything
that matters to me.

Except for you.

What?

It's nothing.

It's not nothing.

And I can't take another round
of gaslighting right now.

Okay, so, the Department frowns

on officers fraternizing
with convicted felons.

They can frown all they want.
They can't fire me.

Everyone who's important
knows you're innocent.

But just dating me
would hold you back.

[ Scoffs ]

I gotta give it to Jason ‐‐

he really
planned this perfectly.

You know, there is still
a third option.

We prove your innocence
and we take him down.

Morning.

Um... what were you doing
up all night?

Legal research.

Researching what?

Do you remember that, uh, kid I
was telling you about ‐‐ Tyler?

Oh, the one who robbed
the liquor store... Yes.

And then gave the store owner
a heart attack,

and the clown from the DA's
office blamed you for it?

No, I don't remember that.

[ Chuckles ]

Anyway, good news ‐‐

um, the store owner
was released from the hospital.

She's gonna be fine.
[ Coffee pours ]

Amazing. I bet Tyler's relieved.

Yeah, but he's not
out of the woods yet.

I have been up all night
trying to research ways

that the state
can show him leniency.

I've just got to convince
that clown

to charge him as a minor.

Well, Tyler's lucky he has you

looking out for him.

Aww. I knew I was.

Oh. [ Chuckles ]

I mean, not that long ago,

I was on the streets,
as desperate as he was,

and then I did
the smartest thing

I think I've ever done ‐‐
steal your car.

Okay. Agree to disagree.

No, seriously.
Crime totally pays.

And Tyler's lucky to have you.

You're cute!

JAMES: This is nice.

Actually spending
the night together.

Doing couple things
in the morning before work.

Yeah, who knew we had to
share custody schedules

before we hooked up?

I actually should
get going, though.

I gotta ‐‐ I gotta do a thing.

That sounds ominous.

No, it's fine.

I just have to have a talk
with Curtis Jones.

About Tyler.

Wait. Is he still leaning
on Tyler's family for money?

Yeah, and I‐I need
to convince Curtis

to cut his losses and let it go.

Okay, well, I'm coming with you.

[ Chuckles ] No.

Yes, I'm ‐‐ Nyla, no.

No, you can't be there.

Look, if ‐‐ if word gets out

that a cop is hovering
on my shoulder,

they'll stop trusting me.

Well, I hate to break it to you,

but you're dating a cop,
so that's gonna get around.

I know, which means
I have to work extra hard

to stay independent.

Look, if I lose the trust
with the community,

I'll never get it back.

I hear you, but I don't like it.

And Curtis is a dangerous guy,

and if anything
were to happen to you,

I'd be sad for, like,
at least a couple days.

[ Chuckles ]

Funny. Funny.

But I can handle myself.

Alright?

I'll call you after.

I wish we could open an official
investigation on this.

No, sir, I get it.

There's not even
circumstantial evidence

connecting Jason
to planting those drugs.

Thank you, again,
for authorizing my...

"vacation."

Of course.

Take as much time as you need.

So, what's your plan?

Find the money.

I mean, those drugs cost upwards
of 10 grand,

but according to my skip tracer,
Jason's broke.

He had to pay restitution
for his embezzlement conviction,

and he's been working
a minimum‐wage job

ever since his release.

So chances are, he's mixed up
in something illegal

that gives him access
to money or drugs or both.

And I'm gonna follow him till
I find out exactly what it is.

Call me as soon as you have
something actionable,

even if it's a simple
parole violation.

Once he's in custody,
he's more likely to crack.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

I gotta go.

Caught a homicide.

Let me know
if you need anything.
Thank you.

So, listen, Nolan,

there's something you need
to think about.

[ Door closes ] If Bailey
assumes fault for the drugs ‐‐

I know.

If I can't prove
Jason planted those drugs,

I'll have to choose
between my career

and the woman I love.

No biggie.

Thanks.

ADA Sanford.

Officer Chen.

Did you hear the news?

The store owner from
Tyler's case pulled through.

I heard. Mm‐hmm.

I'm as relieved as you are.

Great.

So, let's continue
with the positivity.

Charge Tyler as a minor.

He committed a crime with a gun.

It was unloaded.

Look, I'm not saying that
there shouldn't be consequences,

but he's 16.

He's not old enough
to drink, vote,

join the military,

and you want to lock him up
with a bunch of grown men?

Look, studies show that ‐‐

No, please,
don't quote studies at me.

And definitely
don't start lecturing me

about the science
of still‐developing brains

in men under 21.

I wasn't gonna do that.

[ Scoffs ]

Look, if Tyler becomes a CI
against his crew,

I can definitely
give him a break.

Uh... wait. S‐Sorry.

Let me ‐‐
Let me just get this clear.

So, instead of risking his life
in prison,

you want to risk his life
on the streets?

Do you understand that he is
a low‐level drug runner?

He is the bottom
of the food chain.

Nobody in his crew

is gonna even trust him
with any real intel.

Everything okay?

Yes.

Mr., uh, Rookie ADA here

was telling me
how he was gonna make his bones

by ending a kid's life. Okay.

You're clearly feeling
a little dramatic this morning,

and I have to go to court.

[ Chuckles ]

I will be following up with you!

Can you believe the nerve of
that guy, calling me dramatic?

I mean ‐‐ Um, do not start.

Exactly how many cups of coffee
did you have this morning?

I'm just going to
apologize to you right now.

Um, it's gonna be
a really long day for you,

and ‐‐ and I'm sorry.
[ Sighs deeply ]

Aaron. Mom, what
are you doing here?

Hi, baby. Mwah.

Look at you in this uniform.

How handsome.

Look, I said no yesterday,
and I meant it, okay?

Uh‐huh. So please stop asking.

But you're not
thinking it through.

The hell I'm not.

Whoa.
What's the problem?
Nothing.

Just having a conversation
with my mother.

Now I know you did not just
speak to your mother in that tone.

Ma'am, I am Nyla Harper,
Aaron's training officer,

and he is going to apologize
to you right now,

or I will write him up

for conduct
unbecoming of an officer.

[ Scoffs ]

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

And thank you, Nyla.

Of course, Mrs. Thorsen.
It's Yvonne.

Yvonne.

See you in the shop.

Oh. I like her.

Look, Mom... I like her.

I'm sorry for going off, okay?

But I don't want to be a part
of this reality TV show.

Sweetie, it's only
gonna help you. How?

By disrespecting
the memory of Patrick?

By trivializing the time
I've spent in prison

for a crime I didn't commit?

Not if we control the narrative.

Mom, I love you, okay?

You've been on my side
through everything,

but the answer's no.

Now I have to go.

[ Insects buzzing ]

I think this may be
our strangest date yet.

Really?

Stranger than fighting
a Russian spy?

We're surveilling
your ex‐con current husband

who has framed you
for a drug crime.

Estranged ex‐con
current husband.

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh, good.

Hey, Randy. RANDY:
Skip Tracer Randy here!

Yes. I know, Randy.
I said your name.

Oh, well, maybe you know
12 Randys. I don't know.

Would you like to know
what I found,

or do you want to keep
making me feel bad

about how I put myself out
in the world?

No. No. Randy, you're right.

I'm sorry. What did you get?

Jason listed an SRO downtown
as his current address,

but the man
at the front desk says

he's only seen him
once or twice.

So, he could be staying
somewhere else.

That could be a violation
of his parole.

Mm‐hmm. That is correct.

I'll call back
if I find anything else.

Thank you, Randy.

Well, that makes sense.

Jason is a total snob.

[ Sighs ]

Is this really
the best we can do?

Just spy on him

until he hopefully
does something overtly criminal?

Welcome to police work.

We're never gonna catch him
by being reactive.

He's too smart.
We have to get in his head.

If that's really
what you want to do,

I know who to talk to,

but it would
officially cement this

as 1,000%
the strangest date yet.

Well,
when you put it that way...

[ Door buzzes ] [ Chuckles ]

At this point, you should
probably deputize me.

Hello.

Who did you bring for me, John?

Oscar, this is Lieutenant Nune.

Bailey.

I'm Jason Wyler's... wife.

Well, I'd salute you,

but I can't get my arm
over my shoulder.

I'm told you're an expert

in narcissist psychopaths.

Guilty as charged.

Literally.

We need your help
to get inside his head,

figure out
what he's gonna do next.

And I would love to do that.

I just need to figure out
what I get out of it.

Oscar.

I wrote a letter to get you
transferred out of here.

And that's what I got yesterday.

Let's discuss what I get today.

Today, I go
to the Warden's office

and rip up yesterday's
letter. You're bluffing.

Let's go.

Okay, fine. I'll help you.

Um, alright, where do we stand?

Jason and I
were married for a year

before he went to prison.

During that time,
he was psychologically abusive,

he tore me down constantly

and terrorized me
when I asked for a divorce.

Two weeks ago,
he got out of jail

and set out to ruin my life.

He planted drugs in her car
and got her arrested. Okay.

So, he's highly intelligent,

he's very good
at getting inside people's heads

and pitting people
against one another.

He's also deeply insecure.

That's why he's constantly
pounding you down,

making you small.

It's the only way
he can make himself big.

How do we use that against him?

Well, best way
to throw him off of his game

is... demean him.

Make him feel stupid.

Belittle him.

Of course, he's gonna retaliate,
like, ten‐fold.

How did he get his hands on
those drugs in the first place?

Probably a contact in prison.

Whoever it was he was paying
for protection on the inside.

But he wouldn't have gotten
the drugs for free.

Well, it's not hard
to get money,

I mean, if you're willing
to con someone.

In fact,
there's an entire network

of nightingales out there

that are just waiting
to help rehabilitate

some poor, misunderstood man.

Speaking from experience?

I get a little money
in my commissary account.

They get a romantic fantasy.

I mean... everybody wins.

Now, your boy, though,
he's playing the long game.

He's probably targeted
a dozen or so women

just to find the right one.

The warden will have copies
of all of Jason's mail.

We can start there.

Yeah.

[ Siren wails, police chatter ]

Alright. Thank you.

Thanks. You called us?

Yeah, a jogger found a female DB

under the overpass.

Blunt force trauma to the head.

Sounds like you got it handled.

What do you need a sergeant for?

I don't. I need Lucy.

Do you know her?

No. Uh, why?

Your roommate does.

[ Music playing in distance ]

Alright, how do you want
to handle this?

I don't know.

I've ‐‐ I've never delivered
a death notification

to someone I care about.

♪♪

I know what to do as a cop,

and I know how to do it

but, you know,
those are different approaches.

Thank you. Mm‐hmm.

[ Knock on door ] Come in.

Forget something?

No.

[ Door closes ]

They found a body this morning.

It was your friend. Becca.

What?

No.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no.

No, I‐it can't be her.
[ Chuckles ]

It wasn't Becca. I'll call her.

I'm sorry.
It definitely was her.

There was a photo
of the two of you on her phone.

♪♪

Oh, look. Here's one of mine.

A desperate plea
to respond to my lawyer.

Fun memento.

Here's one from Jason
to an Evelyn Reed.

"When we met, I was so broken.
You healed me."

Oh, he's still using
the same material he used on me.

I can't believe
I was this stupid.

No, you weren't stupid.
You were just... trusting.

Here's one from Evelyn
back to Jason.

"Dear Jason, I must have
read your last letter

a thousand times.

Though steel bars
may separate our bodies,

they can't separate our souls."

Barf.

But that does sound like someone

who would do anything for him.

What's her address?

LUCY: Did Becca ever mention
someone she was scared of?

No.

But we haven't talked
in a while.

Almost three months.

With school and moving in here,

I just lost track.

Okay, any idea
where she was crashing?

[ Sighs ]

She mostly lived on the street.

There was a shelter
that sometimes had room.

And a couple of kids
who had families

who'd let you sleep on the floor

every once in a while.

And if you were
desperate enough,

there was always swiping.

What's that?

You go on ClipTalk
and just swipe

until you find someone
to hook up with.

And if you're lucky,

you might get a warm shower
and a meal

when it's all over.

TIM: Okay, if she was still
doing that,

we need a list of the guys
she met up with.

I'll reach out
to the tech department,

see if they can
get into her account.

No. I bet
I can guess her password.

HARPER: So, what's the deal
with your mom?

[ Sighs ] That is a long
and boring story.

Which stakeouts are made for.

Oh, is that
what we're doing here?

Who are we staking out?

We're just keeping an eye
on a friend.

Is it one of those guys?

Stop trying
to change the subject.

You and your mom.
Look, it's complicated.

You're gonna have to threaten me
with a blue page

if you want me to say any more.

Alright. Fair enough.

Oh, now it makes sense.

Why didn't you just say we was
here to watch your boyfriend's back?

Look, James is looking out
for a neighborhood kid.

He's pushing back
against a local dealer,

so we are here in case
anything goes sideways.

Look, I heard you're still
trying to collect Tyler's debt

from some of his family members.

The kid owes me.

Curtis, he ‐‐ he's in jail

'cause he tried
to get your money.

It's not my fault he can't
stick up a liquor store.

Alright, Lopez sent a PDF
of Becca's ClipTalk account.

It looks like
she was routinely hooking up

with four different guys.

No DMs indicating

that they made plans
to meet up in the past week.

Yeah, well, Lopez should
look into all of them.

ClipTalk might not be
the only way they communicate.

You okay?

Yeah, Tamara knew about
the whole swiping thing,

like, right away.

Did you get the impression

that maybe
she used to do it herself?

She ever mention it to you?

As close as we are,

there's a lot
she won't talk about.

Don't take it personally.

She might just have a hard time
opening up to you.

But I'm sure Tamara will share
when she's ready to.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Who are you?

I'm Jason's wife. Right.

The bitch who won't
give him a divorce

'cause she's obsessed,

and you're

Excuse me? Okay.

Ma'am, none of that is true.

May we come in
and talk?
Hell no.

Ms. Reed, Jason is a dangerous
and manipulative man

who may be involved
in illegal activities.

[ Scoffs ] Lies.
Okay, how about this?

Is Jason living here?

Because if he is,

he has not reported this address
to his PO,

which means I can report
the violation of his parole

in one phone call.

If you've aided in
any of the crimes

he's committed in any way,

you can be charged
as an accessory.

Or... how about we just talk?

[ Door opens ]

Jason said that you might try

to get me to turn on him.

It isn't gonna work,

so come in and say
whatever you have to say,

and then go.

He told you about
his mother, right?

How close they were?

How broken he was when she died?

May I sit?

Uh‐huh.

That was what first drew me
to him.

That depth of feeling.

When we first met,

my father had just died,
and I was a wreck.

Jason was the only person
who understood.

He didn't try to fix me.
He just listened.

He held my hand,
made me his entire world.

So I made him mine.

I had no one else but him.

And he started
chipping away at me.

I wasn't smart enough,

thin enough, pretty enough.

But I was lucky to have him...

could ever want me?

Yes.

We're friends.

Friends? With an 18‐year‐old?

How about she found you

looking for sex on ClipTalk
a few months ago,

and you've been hooking up
every now and then

in exchange for letting her
sleep in your bed.

Look, what is she saying?

'Cause I don't know if you know,

but that girl is homeless,
unstable.

She's probably on drugs
or something.

She's dead.

What?

I didn't ‐‐

That wasn't me.

Where were you last night?

At home.

Look, Becca did come over,

but only for a few minutes.

I swear.

What time? Eight‐ish.

It was definitely before 9:00.

That's when
my girlfriend got home.

Your girlfriend?

Yeah, she travels. I get lonely.

What did Becca want? A
place to sleep, a shower.

I told her
my girlfriend was on her way.

Look, Becca threatened
to tell on me

if I didn't give her money.

All I had was a 20.

After she left,

I realized she stole
my Cerus watch.

Cost me 10 grand.

And you couldn't
file a police report

because you would have to
explain what happened

to your girlfriend.

Okay. Sit tight.

Please, I didn't hurt that girl.

You have to believe me.

There was no watch
on Becca's body.

Whoever killed her
probably took it.

Or maybe she sold it.
Tamara might know where.

Good news. They got inside
Jason's laptop

and found a very intricate
money‐laundering operation.

That's great.
Who's he working for?

They can't tell yet.

Jason works
a pretty skilled shell game.

But Financial Crimes
are monitoring the accounts,

and if he tries to move
any money, they'll track it.

He won't.
He knows we have his laptop.

He'll assume you're watching.

Well, he'll have to move
the money eventually.

Whoever he's working for
is gonna expect results.

So, what's his next move?

I don't know. Yet.

AARON: Uh‐oh.

Looks like your avoidance plan
just hit a speed bump.

Okay, our first official fight.

I ‐‐ Yeah, you were only there
in case something happened.

I get it. Sure.
But that's not the point.

I expressed my desire,
and you ignored it,

and that pisses me off.

when I tell you

then that's something
that we gotta work out,

trust each other ‐‐

Yes. Uh, Lopez interviewed

that Becca was swiping with.

They all have solid alibis.

We did find out
that Becca stole a watch

from one of them
right before she died,

so if we can trace her
back there,

we might be able to find out
what happened to her.

Do you have any idea

what Becca would have done
with a stolen watch?

Tamara, hey. Uh, it's okay.

There's no judgment here.

Um...

there's a pawn shop
we used to go to.

Harvey's.

It's just two blocks.

Okay. Yeah. We'll check it out.

Are you okay here?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm good.

So, all parties here are in

you, Jason Wyler,
admit to residing in an address

not registered
with your parole officer.

You admit to the crime
of laundering money

for the Southern Front
criminal organization.

And you admit
to the crime of planting cocaine

in a vehicle owned
by Bailey Nune.

He does.

And I regret all of it.

Oh, come on.

In exchange for your cooperation

with an investigation
into Southern Front,

we are prepared to offer you

a reduced sentence of 18 months.

18 months?

He nearly ruined my life,

this deal

we may be feeling toward you
is off the table.
