Previously on "The Rookie"...

Six months ago, I packed
everything I own into a U-Haul,

moved here to become a cop.

Cholesterol level I've never
seen in a rookie.

I'm something of a pioneer.

We got some new blood
this morning.

Lucy Chen, Jackson West,

and John Nolan,
who was born before disco died.

I don't give a damn
about your age.

Show me what you got.

I hate what you represent...
A walking mid-life crisis.

LAPD isn't a place
for you to find yourself.

Everything is a test,
Officer Chen,

and you just got another "F."

Show me those hands. Now!

7-Adam-19.

Officer down.

Get out your gun and cover me!

If you don't have what
it takes on the streets,

then you're not a cop.

Freeze up again,
and you're done.

I know about you and Nolan.

Break things off before
it's too late.

7-Adam-15, in pursuit of
red Jeep, heading south on Vine.

Do we need to review
high-speed pursuit protocol?

- No.
- What about that PIT maneuver

you failed to execute
two blocks ago?

Police regulations recommend
that an officer

not attempt a PIT maneuver
at over 35 miles an hour.

They also state that the risk
of civilian injuries grows

exponentially with every minute
of urban pursuit.

Everything you hit requires
a separate accident report.

I know.

So maybe hit fewer things.

7-Adam-15,
in pursuit of red Jeep,

heading up
into the Hollywood Hills.

Requesting backup and airship.

Okay, I'm gonna PIT him.

Okay, just tap him.
Just tap... Now!

I feel you judging me
with your eyes.

It's not my eyes
you should worry about.

It's my pen
when I write your evaluation.

Police! Get out of the car!

Driver, step away
from your vehicle!

Show me your hands!

Get on the ground!

Seriously?

Go get her, Boot.

Ma'am?

Ma'am, I need you to come back!

Really?

Ma'am?

Wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait, don't do that.

Stay back! I will. I will.

Don't, don't, don't, don't,
don't, that's not an escape.

That's not an escape.
If you jump, you die.

I know. That's why I'm here.

Just... Just...

Okay, but wait,
just... get... just one second.

Just...

I don't love heights.

Okay.

Tell me about it, okay?

Just talk to me.

Maybe I can help. You can't.

Clark proposed to me
right here a year ago.

We were supposed
to get married today,

but I caught him with my cousin,
and he dumped me.

You can't let this guy
ruin your life.

Too late.
I lost my job, my apartment.

Even the cat ran away.

My life is a country song.

I got nothing to live for.

Okay, whoa, whoa,
wait, wait, wait.

I have...

One second here. Hang on.

What is that?

A lottery ticket.

Drawing's on Thursday.

It's $50 million if you win.

Now you have something
to live for.

You're kidding.

No, I-I've been
where you are, you know?

Not literally. I've never
actually been up here.

It's... It's... It's pretty.

But... But I've...

10 years ago,
back in Pennsylvania, my...

My construction company
was going under,

I was up to my eyeballs in debt,

tanking my marriage because
I thought I was a failure...

But I went into a liquor store

to buy the biggest bottle
of booze I could find

and I left it on the counter

and I bought
a lottery ticket instead.

And i-it gave me
just enough hope

to make it through
the bad times.

It's been my ritual ever since.

I buy one a week, but I-I don't
need it anymore.

So, um...

I'm giving the hope to you.

I'm scared.

I know.

Yeah, I know.

But I can help.

No! No!

Are you okay?

No!

I dropped the ticket.

A little help! Aah!

What are you thinking about?

Ending it all.

Something I did? Or didn't do?

What if I hadn't saved her?

But you did.

Yeah, but it could've just
easily gone the other way.

Then you would've dealt with it.

Take the win.

There'll be plenty of losses
to come, you know?

You think they'd get mad
if we called in sick week one?

Yes. But we could spend
the day together.

We could do L.A. stuff, yoga.

Yoga? You do yoga?

No, but I'm starting
a new life here.

Maybe the new me loves yoga.

I don't know. Maybe he hates it.

But I'd be with you.

That is painfully romantic.

Right?

Sadly, if we took
the same sick day,

we may give ourselves away.

Yeah.

I mean,
we are surrounded by cops,

and odds are somebody's
gonna figure it out.

Well, we'll have to
be extra sneaky.

Am I this sore because I'm old

or because being a cop
is hard...

And don't answer that.

You're sore because this job's
like running downhill

as fast as you can.

Sure, it's exciting,
but one wrong step

and things get ugly, fast.

Yeah.

Except you said Tim did
everything right,

and he still got shot.

Checkout time, Officer.

Yeah, no.

I'm walking out of here.

Hospital policy.

I don't care.

So, who's picking you up?

A cab.

Is that all we are to you?

- Hey.
- You know, it's funny.

He didn't tell us
he was getting out.

'Cause he's a tough guy.

Who doesn't need anybody's help.

Are you two finished?

Nope.

Smile.

Hey, how's it going?

Great.

All right, fine.

I didn't get much sleep.

Are you worried about something?

No, no. Just, excited
to get back out there.

Hey.

Did you break up with him yet?

Look, I appreciate you looking
out for me...

Boot, you misunderstand.

I did you a solid.

You only get but one.

You want to sabotage your career
before it starts,

that's on you now.

Very funny, you guys.

Of course, you know, this means
now I have to throw them.

All right, the honeymoon's over.

3, 5, 21.

Officer Nolan, you care to guess
what these numbers represent?

Combination to your heart, sir?

3 is the number
of opportunities you had

to disable Runaway Bride's car
yesterday.

5 vehicles were damaged
because you failed to do so.

And the last number.

Officer Bishop.

$21,000 in property damage
the city has to pay.

Correct.

All in all,
Officer Nolan's first pursuit

reveals room for improvement.

Yes, sir.

Onward.

Officer Chen is in need
of a training officer

until Tim Bradford
is cleared for duty.

Officer Scott Wrigley,
you get the nod.

That's it. Stay safe out there.

Lopez, West,
see the captain on the way out.

What do you think she wants?

Nothing good.

I was reading over your report

on the Officer Bradford
shooting.

First off, neither of you
had your body cams on,

which I understand.

You were under fire.

What I don't understand
is how Officer Lopez

emptied two magazines,
striking the suspect in the leg,

but Officer West...

you didn't fire a single shot.

If I may.

Officer West did not
have a protected position

from which to fire,
so I urged him to stay down

while I engaged the suspect.

Is there anything that
you would like to add?

No, ma'am.

Okay. Get back to work.

Thanks.

I didn't do it for you.

The golden boy with the VIP dad
flunks out on my watch,

I can wave detective goodbye.

I just hope protecting you
doesn't get me killed.

Are you sure I can't carry that?
Absolutely.

I've been on the job 12 years,

never fired my weapon.

You took on a couple
high-powered jokers,

saved your T.O. on day two.

So that makes you a rock star
in my book.

And rock stars don't
pack-mule the gear.

I was just trying
to not get killed.

Aww. Modest, too.

I can see why Tim's been
boasting about you.

He has?

No.

But I'm not like that.

I give credit where it's due,

and you have earned
a free pass today.

So anything you need, just ask.

So, just how badly
did I mess up that pursuit?

Average.

You hesitated to hit a car

because you spent your life
avoiding accidents.

Well, that's true
of every rookie.

True, but you've lived longer,

which means those instincts
are harder to break.

This job is all
about doing things

that run counter
to human nature.

If you can't overcome your
programming, you won't make it.

Failure's not an option, okay?

I've been around guns my whole
life, never froze up before.

It's different
when they're shooting at you.

Yeah. Yeah, well, now I know.

Look. It... It won't
happen again.

Not good enough.

I don't want to spend
every call wondering

if you're gonna freeze up again,
so today, we get proactive,

take all the high-risk calls
and see how you do.

You better do well.

Wilshire units,
415 at Presbyterian church.

PR states man on PCP attacked
a priest.

Units on scene
requesting backup, Code 3.

Perfect.

7-Adam-07, responding.

A morning
of rolling-stop citations

should take us nicely
into lunch.

We're gonna
sit here all morning?

Hey, writing tickets
is the heart of the job.

Do you want to,
quiz me or something?

Nope.

What's going on?

Blaster on PCP walked
into the church,

and threw the priest
through a stained-glass window.

Tore the place up.

We're waiting for special ops
and a supervisor.

Big guy?

You could say that.

Okay, cool.

We're going in.

We are?

I mean, hell, yeah, we are.

It's your funeral.

Whoa! He is a big one.

What do we do here,
Officer West?

Phencyclidine... or PCP...
Is a dissociative sedative

that makes the user feel
invulnerable and,

sets his body temp
through the roof,

which is why he took off
all his clothes.

He's basically the Hulk,
unable to feel pain.

If you shoot him,
it just makes him mad.

So what we need to do
is calm him down.

I'm not looking
for a dissertation.

You stop.

I want to know how you're gonna
get him into cuffs

and then our shop.

Come here! Carefully.

7-Adam-15, vehicle on fire,

MacArthur Park, Code 3. Respond.

Park right there!

Stay away from the flame.

Step back from the flame.

What is going on?

Ma'am, did you do this?

Yeah, 'cause Fungus
ripped me off.

Who's Fungus?

Fun Gus. My meth dealer.

Your meth dealer drives a Prius?

So why burn your dealer's car?

I gave him $20 for meth, and he
only gave me 10 bucks worth.

Girl, that's just not right.

I know.

I work hard for my money.
I bet you do.

So what say we go find this
Fungus and get you squared away?

Okay. Yeah.

Only I don't know where he's at.

The kid I stabbed said
this was Fungus's car.

I lit it up so he'd show.

Wait. You stabbed a kid?

Yeah. Fungus's brother.

Turn around. What?

- Put your hands on the tree.
- He... Hey!

Hands behind your back.

I got a knife here.

Blood's not even dry.

The kid you stabbed,
he still alive?

I don't know.

It's okay.

Look, I'm just gonna come
a little bit closer, okay?

Okay.

Hey, hey, no, we're good.
We're good.

It's okay. We're good, right?

Listen to me,
just a quick second.

You're thirsty, right?

You got to be thirsty.

Okay, you like water?
I can get you water...

Nice, refreshing water, right?

Just put these bracelets on.

Put these bracelets on,

and I will give you
all the water that you want.

Sweet, sweet water.

Special ops, my ass.

Bunch of meter maids.

Where is he? I don't see him.

I don't know.
I stabbed him over there.

Bishop.

Is he alive?

Skin's cool, no pulse.

Don't feel bad for him.

I'm the one who got ripped off.

7-Adam-15,
our call is now a 187.

Have Homicide respond
to our location.

Great morning, Officer Chen.

I'm gonna drop you here
for lunch.

What?

I like to go home
to eat, you know,

get these wool pants off,
air things out.

Be back in 40.

It's just such a waste,
losing your life for so little.

See that thing
you're doing right now,

looking for meaning in tragedy?

That's an old-life instinct.

It's not helpful here.
It's human.

So is stupidity and murder.

Why the long face, Boot?

Hey. What are you doing here?

Heard you got Wrigley.

He always dumps his rookies here
while he goes home

to eat mac and cheese
in his undies.

So, what,
you came to check on me?

I live around the corner.
I was getting takeout.

Right.

So, how's it going?

It's good.

Officer Wrigley is, um...

Yeah, he... he's cautious.

He's... He's what
we call a slug...

Just doing his time,
allergic to real police work.

Yeah. Yeah.

You must like the quiet, though.

Wilshire units,

store owner called
with suspected shoplifter.

Caucasian male,
yellow track suit.

314 Franklin Drive.

That's three blocks
from here, Boot.

What, a-am I supposed
to respond?

My T.O.'s not here,
and I don't have a car.

You've got legs, don't you?

7-Adam-21 responding on foot.

Skipping out on the bill?

No, no. Right.

Whatever.

Run, Boot!

Run!

Police! Stop!

Hey! Hey! Police!

Watch out, watch out.

Stop!

Police!

Hey.

Stay on the ground!

Hands behind your back.

Do your thing, girl.

All right, Officer Chen.

Show me how you process
an arrest.

First...

Take the prisoner
out of the shop.

Come on.

Then search the back seat.

- Next, take off...
- Shoes and socks.

Hold the feet.

Next, remove jewelry.

All right.

Get finger and palm prints.

And now your thumb.

Not your thumb.

Still not your thumb.

Let's try the big one.

Mug-shot time.

Now turn to the right.

Finally, lock them up.

Aah!

Aah! And get the watch commander

to sign off
on all the paperwork.

Officer Chen.

Good.

Officer West.

Also good.

Officer Nolan.

Did you check this, Bishop?

Yes, sir.

Try reading more carefully
next time.

Yes, sir.

Once again with feeling,
Officer Nolan.

Yes, sir.

Sorry.

Sergeant? Yeah.

I know you have a problem
with Nolan,

but I feel like I'm taking
friendly fire here.

Is that how you see it?

'Cause Officer Nolan's not
the only one being tested.

You're ambitious,
anxious to make detective.

Nothing wrong with that.

Unless you're more interested
in your next job

than the one you got. No, sir.

Good.

'Cause training Officer Nolan's
gonna require you to dig deep,

and failure could impact
your promotion.

You're dismissed.

I feel like Goldilocks.

This training officer's
too hard, this one's too soft.

I don't know.

An afternoon of traffic stops
sounds good right about now.

Who are you, and what have you
done with Officer Extra Credit?

And yes, that's what we called
you back at the academy.

Always the first to volunteer,

the most prepared rookie
in the history of the LAPD.

I'm still that guy.

Officer West, time to go.

Is he okay?

Um, he said he's having
some trouble sleeping.

I'm gonna check on him later.

What?

You're a good guy, is all.

So, did you struggle
as a rookie?

No.

Really? Yes.

This job is all about making
split-second decisions in chaos.

My childhood was pretty,
turbulent,

so I got really good
at reacting quickly.

Look out!

Ma'am, are you all right?

Just stay right there, okay?
We have an ambulance coming.

All right?

Help! Help! 7-Adam-15,

requesting an R.A. for a female,
20s, struck by a car.

Help me! Help me!

There's duct tape on her wrists.

Don't let him get me. Who?

No, please,
don't let him take me.

Who? Please don't let
him take me again!

Who?! My God!

- Dilated pupil.
- Shh, listen. Listen.

No, no, they're trying
to help you, okay?

She's been heavily drugged.

Emma. Who... Who is Emma?

Who's Emma?

You need to get out
so we can treat her.

No! No!

- Nurse!
- Officers, out, now!

Emma!

No.

You okay?

At least it can't get worse.

See, clearly, you misinterpreted
my lecture about vehicle damage,

'cause hitting civilians is not
what I was advocating.

Sir, it wasn't
Officer Nolan's fault.

She ran in front of our shop.

Way to go, Mad Max.

Officer Nolan,
Detectives Motta and Paige,

Major Assault Crimes.

Did you manage to get an I.D.
from the photo we sent?

I'm sorry. Does your rookie
think we work for him?

Of course not.
He's just highly motivated.

Christine Holbeck, 27.

Missing-persons report was filed

by her roommate a week ago.

Our victim happen to mention
who took her?

No, she was drugged.
She has no idea

where she was held or even
how long she was running.

Before you ran her over?
It was an accident.

She mentioned a name... Emma.

She said she...

She was sorry she left.

Could she be another victim,
someone who's still there?

We'll run the name,
see if anything turns up.

Well, what can we do to help?

Canvass while we wait
for her to detox.

Done. I'll assign Bishop
and three other units,

get overnight
to pick up the baton.

Let's go.

Will you let me know
how she's doing?

Yeah.

I pulled a high-risk warrant
to serve.

Brenner Plank, a member
of the Aryan Nation

who enjoys long walks on
the beach and felony assault.

Hope you're ready for a fight.

Can't wait.

I don't get it.

A woman running for her life

with duct tape
around her wrists?

How does nobody see her?

It's L.A.

7-Adam-15, show us Code 6.

All right.

13 down, 100 more to go.

How does kidnapping women
become somebody's normal?

Don't worry, that's a "how do we
get this guy" question,

not a search for meaning.

I know your position on that.

No, you don't.

You've been hardwired
to ask why, but out here,

the why is mostly irrelevant.

Look, "how we find the guy"
is the right question to ask.

But honestly, I'm not sure
you're prepared for when we do.

See, at some point, you're gonna
be faced with a doorway

to a very ugly place,

one people have tried to avoid
their whole lives.

Are you gonna be a cop
in that moment,

or are you gonna be a guy
who's in over his head?

7-Adam-15, GTA in process.

Unknown make and model,
white and orange in color.

Details to follow.

We're not gonna respond to that.

Crime doesn't stop
while we canvass.

No. It's just a matter
of priority.

Yeah, well, that junkie seemed
pretty low priority

till she turned out
to be a murderer.

7-Adam-15, show us responding.

Sir, I need you pull
the scissor lift over.

Sir, stop the lift,
and pull over right now.

No.

Sir, that scissor lift
is not street legal.

And you stole it.

Right.
Should've opened with that.

I didn't steal it.
I liberated it.

Supervisor owes me two weeks
pay, so I'm gonna pawn this.

Unfortunately,
it doesn't work like that.

I need you to stop the lift
and come down.

No.

Sir, I do not have time
for this.

Nolan. Stop the vehicle.

Sir, I don't have time for this.

You're escalating the situation.

Do not hit that... Si...

It's gonna be a lot
of paperwork, isn't it?

Yeah.

Too bad he wasn't home.

I was in the mood
to hook an Aryan up.

We're gonna go right back.

Just need you to grab snacks
first, definitely some caffeine.

Copy that.

Bathroom?

Thank you.

Do I need a key
for the bathroom?

Thank you.

Police!

West!

I should be out there looking.

You're part of a team now.

Overnight has units canvassing,

and you'll be on it
when your shift starts.

Tell me this, and be honest.

Am I too set in my ways?

No. You changed your whole life,

moved across the country
to become a cop.

Yeah, but that's all external.

Talia thinks my age makes me
risk-averse

and less able to change
and over-invested

in helping this girl.

I'm sure I'd feel just as
invested if I'd, you know...

Hit a kidnap victim
with your car?

My God, I just hate
saying it out loud.

Okay, look.

You want to help everyone.

That's why you joined the force.

But the hardest thing
for any rookie to learn

is that we can't.

Yeah?

Thank you.

Why don't we ever stay
at your place?

Because I live in a one-bedroom

with a view
of a methadone clinic.

Right.

How come I've never met this
mystery landlord of yours?

Because he's in Spain.

No, um, China.

I actually have no idea
where he is.

After college,
his trust fund vested,

and he just
never stopped moving.

But the upside is,
I get to live here for free,

and it works out for both of us.

Speaking of which,

you could keep some
of your things here

so you don't have to always just
run home in the morning.

I know.

I just think we should,
um, keep it casual.

Her name is Emma Vasquez.

Reported missing
three weeks ago.

Detectives think she's the one
that Christine left behind.

I've approved
extra shifts and O.T.

until we find this girl.

Everyone canvasses
between calls.

Anything else?
Yes, one more thing.

Officer Nolan.

The motor pool is considering
taking out a hit on you

for all the damage you've caused
to their vehicles.

I talked them into,
a different solution.

Sweet.

Try not to damage her?

I'm never gonna live this down.

You're welcome?

You know, I was thinking maybe
we should go to the hospital

before we start canvassing,

just to see
if Christine remembers anything.

Detectives are on that.

Yeah, I checked
the detectives' table.

Motta and Paige are actually
working a lead right now.

Emma cannot wait.

6-P-C-I-4-8 and a 1.

Do you like
this kind of policing?

I like going home to my family.

My kids like having a dad.

Your training officer got shot,

and you still don't realize
how close to dying you came.

Yeah, I do.

And yet you're still anxious
to get back out there,

which means deep down,
a part of you liked it.

That's not me,
so I write the tickets,

I take the low-risk calls
so cops like you

can get your thrill on.

He grabbed me in the garage.

Must've snuck in
after I pulled inside.

I never saw him.

Just felt a needle
go in my neck,

and then everything went black.

Do you remember anything
about the house?

He kept me in the basement
with Emma,

wore a mask
when he came to see us.

I don't think it was
because he was gonna let us go.

I think he liked it.

Anything else?

Anything that can help us
find this place?

It sounds crazy, but I...

I heard a voice saying "wait"
over and over, day and night.

Emma couldn't hear it, but
I could swear it was there.

What are you doing?

I'll come check on you later.

We came by
on our way to canvass.

Protocol is key here, Talia.

Everything goes through us.

You know that.
Hey, what is the problem here?

We're all trying to catch
the same guy.

Why is your boot talking?

Again with this? It's all good.

Let's get to work.

What is their problem?

They think they're better
than us.

When you make detective,
are you gonna behave like that?

Hell, yeah.

But it'll actually be true.

You got something?

I think I might know
what the voice is.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

Wait. Walk. Walk.

It's called
an accessible pedestrian signal,

designed for
the visually impaired.

And there's only one
on our search grid,

'cause there's a school for the
blind right around the corner.

Our guy's house would have
to be right here

in order to hear that voice
from a basement.

And I would peg that one
for mid-century kidnapper.

Let's ask the neighbors first.

Security guys are always nosey.

Walk. Walk. Walk.

7-Adam-15, show us Code 6 and out
of our vehicle. Walk. Walk. Walk.

3017 Bailey Avenue.

Walk.

Walk. Walk.

Walk. Walk.

Walk. Walk.

Hello, there, sir.

Good morning.
How can I help you?

Your neighbor over there,
across the street on the corner,

do you know him at all?

Yeah, yeah.

Um, yeah, he doesn't
get out much.

Kind of keeps to himself.

All right. And,
what about these two girls?

You seen them around?

No. Are... are they okay?

Well, we sure hope so.

Nolan!

Nolan! I'm going in!

7-Adam-15 requesting help.

Shots fired, 2311 Bailey Avenue.

7-Adam-21 responding.

I'm going, whether you're in
the car with me or not, so...

Nolan!

Emma?

It's the police. Emma?

I'm Officer Nolan, Emma. I'm
here to get you. Please help me.

Look out!

No, no. No, no, no, no.

No. No.

No. No, no, no, no.

No, don't leave me, please!

Shh. It's okay.
You're gonna be okay.

Whoa, hey, are you okay?

Yeah. He's on the move.

I need someone to stay with Emma.
I'll do it.

7-Adam-21...
Need an R.A. and supervisor

at 3017 Bailey Avenue.

Suspect heading east
on foot into Rosedale Cemetery.

Send backup and airship.

Stay down!

Freeze!

Nolan!

That's enough.

He's done.

Hook him up.

Okay.

They should've called us

before they went
into the suspect's house.

Why?

'Cause it's our investigation.

Last I checked,
it was my investigation,

and a girl's life was at stake.

And come to think of it, I think
you should be thanking them

for rescuing the girl
and closing your case.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

Look at that.

Isn't that nice,
all my kids getting along?

You two, get out.

Got to admit it,
that felt pretty good.

You should temper yourself,
Officer Bishop.

May I remind you, you drove
your shop into a house.

Give me a minute
with Officer Nolan.

Yes, ma'am.

How are you doing?

Okay.

I've always known
that people can be capable

of horrible things,
but to see it first-hand was...

Can't let it infect you.

Look, as a civilian,
you can be driven by emotion,

but as a cop, you rise above it.

It is not your job to punish
that man for what he did.

Do you understand?

Overcoming that impulse
will be the hardest thing

that you do in this job.

Have a good night.

Nice work today, Officer West.

Thank you.

You took a very bad man
off the street,

proved you got some fight
in you.

So, this mean we're good or...?

No.

One ticket at a time.

Great working with you,
Officer Chen.

Yeah. You, too, sir.

I'm cleared for duty.

Turned in my paperwork.

You had me assigned to him,
didn't you?

Everything is a test,
Officer Chen.

Lucky for you,
you passed this one.

Now, if you had been cool
half-assing it with Wrigley,

then I'd know
you weren't serious

about becoming a good cop.

With all due respect, sir,
you're a pain in my ass.

That's my job.

Now, get some rest.

See you tomorrow.

Last one.

Good job today.

Thank you, sir.

Most rookies spend the first
few months with blinders on,

but you looked out
for that girl.

And as a present for your
maturity, I got your paperwork.

Police report,
property damage report,

use of force report,
pursuit memo...

Thank you. And collision memo.

Godspeed.

Sorry.
He didn't get you anything.

Yeah, he did.

What are you doing?

Helping.

Hey.

It's, um... Officer Nolan.

Did something happen?

Yeah. We caught him.

Emma's safe.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I don't understand.

I mean, how did you do this?

This shop is brand-new.

Bribery.

So please drive very carefully.

Right.
