[ Distorted voice ]
Y-You're not listening.

I can destroy your life
with the click of a button.

These pictures will go
to every one of your contacts.

Todd: Please, I don't have
that kind of money.

[ Knock on door ]

5,000 in Bitcoin
or you lose everything.

Nolan: LAPD.

I'll, uh -- I'll --
I'll get right back to you.

[ Beep ]

[ Sighs ]

Afternoon.
Can I get your name?

Uh, Dennis Kern. Why?
What's, uh -- What's going on?

We got a report
from your neighbor.

Someone in this apartment's
stealing Wi-Fi?

Todd: Police! Help!
Can you hear me?

-Who was that?
-Nothing.

Help!

Step back, Dennis.

Hello?

O-Over here.
On the computer.

Oh. Hello.
Who are you?

Todd Asher. I'm that little
bastard's PE teacher.

He's blackmailing me
with pictures

he hacked from my computer.

Oh, well, that was stupid,
Dennis.

And very illegal.

Gonna have to call
your parents.

Which one do you think
will be less pissed?

Um...my dad.

Great.
What's your mom's number?

Sir, I'm gonna need
your address

so we can send a unit to your
house to take a statement.

Sure, but I have to get
those photos back.

Please.
I-If they get out --

Alright. How about I --
Oh!

-♪ Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
-Whoa. Is that your --

♪ Oh, oh ♪

♪ I'm gonna win for you
like I know you want me to do ♪

[ Sizzling ]

[ Humming ]

Hey. Good morning.

Good morning.
I hope you're hungry.

I'm making pecan pancakes.
Your favorite.

Uh, they would be,
except for the whole

I'm-allergic-to-nuts thing.

You are?
Since when?

Uh, that would be since the day
you birthed me.

And your flight back to
Pennsylvania is in three hours.

A-Are you packed yet?

Oh, I canceled
my ticket.

You what?
Mom, we -- we agreed

you'd only stay
the one night.

-No, you agreed.
-[ Doorbell rings ]

-I'll get that.
-Mother.

Turn them
before they burn.

Mom, this is not
entirely optimal for me.

You know I have to be
hyper-focused on work right now.

Come on. Come on.

Put them right there
in the corner.

What's in the boxes?

Well, I thought since you're
"hyper-focused on work"

that I'd make use
of my time.

I came across this great deal
from a wholesaler of CBD oil.

Professor Hempstein's
Organic CBD Oil?

Relax. Marijuana is legal
in California.

As a cop,
you should know that.

I do. So this is what you spent
your money on

when you sold
the engagement ring?

No!

W-- I mean,
not all of it.

A-And what, do you plan
on staying here until
you sell it all?

Don't you think you should have
asked me first, Mom?

-[ Smoke alarm beeping ]
-[ Sighs ]

I told you to flip
the pancakes!

[ Breathing heavily ]

Doug:
Show me your hands now!

Ronda:
What are you doing?!

Lady, I will knock
your ass out!

Shawn: Get your hands off
my wife! Everybody on the ground
now!

I-I live up the street.
I'm a cop.

Relax. It's me.

Sarge.
Good morning.

I, uh, saw the shop
creeping up --

I get it.

My dad's a cop.
I'm a cop.

I shouldn't panic
at the sight --

West,
I've been a Black man

a lot longer
than you have.

I get it.

Why are you here, sir?

You were right.

Benching Officer Stanton
isn't enough.

He's a disgrace to the badge.
He has to go.

But your hands are tied,
right?

Mine are,
but yours aren't.

So, son, what are you willing
to risk

to take Stanton
off the job?

-Whatever it takes, sir.
-Good.

See, I've crossed paths with
a hundred cops like Stanton,

the kind that dip their toes
over the line constantly,

but nothing egregious,

nothing flagrant,
nothing actionable.

And he knows
what he can get away with.

-Yep.
-So how do I get him?

You're going
to "keep book."

Chronicle every offense,
big or small.

If we're lucky,
the accumulation of infractions

will be enough to take his gun
and his badge.

Isn't this
how Nolan and Harper

got in trouble
with Internal Affairs?

They didn't have supervision.
You got me.

For now,
you're just keeping book.

When we get enough,
we go to IA.

If we go before, we put
your father in a bad position.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

I won't let you down.

Now, listen closely.

Doug Stanton can know nothing
about this.

Act like his best friend.

Don't give him any reason
to suspect.

Only Bradford and Chen
are in the know about this.

I'm gonna assign you all
to the same sector,

so every time you and Stanton
take a call,

they will be
automatically filled.

Okay,
I can handle myself.

Non-negotiable, West.

If you're going after Stanton,
you're gonna have backup.

[ Humming ]

Really?

What?
Our baby has weird taste.

Probably gets it from your side
of the family.

This is awful.

Full of fat,
preservatives, sugar.

It's evil in a jar. Don't even
get me started on the pickles.

We have to watch
what you eat.

You don't have
to watch anything.

Hey, did you make an appointment
to see my mom's OB/GYN yet?

I'm not going to your mom's
lady doctor.

I'm happy with mine,
just like I'm happy

eating pickles
Santa style.

She's a renowned specialist.
The best.

I mean, don't you want the best
for our baby?

Wesley,
I love you dearly,

but you're so WASP-y
sometimes.

[ Chuckles ]

I get it.
You're an only child.

But my mom brought five kids
into this world

while working two jobs

and eating
whatever the hell she wanted.

Women have babies
all the time.

It's easy.
Don't make it so hard.

-Angela, I just think that we --
-Stop micromanaging
my pregnancy.

Our pregnancy.

Oh, really?

Who wears the stretchy pants
in this family?

Exactly.

-You're driving today.
-I am?

-Mm-hmm. Until about 9:05.
-What happens at 9:05?

Actually, it's what happens
at 9:00 a.m. sharp that matters.

Lila wants to take this summer
class at the Music Academy,

and spots
are extremely limited,

so if I miss
the registration window,

-she can't get in.
-But what if we get a call?

Wouldn't it be safer
if your ex did that?

You think
that I can't handle

enrolling my own daughter
into a class?

-No, of course not.
-'Cause my baby wants classes

at the Music Academy.

I -- I can get her classes
at the Music Academy.

Is this a repeat
of an argument you had earlier

with your ex-husband?

No.

Get into the shop.

Let's go.

Catch the game
last night?

Yeah. It was brutal.

Can't believe they were able
to come back on us.

Uh-huh.
Yeah, I believed.

That's why I won
200 bucks.

Anything look out of place
to you?

Uh, I don't --

Dispatch, 7-Adam-07,

show us at a pedestrian stop,
Waring and Seward.

[ Siren chirps ]

Seward and Waring.
Let's go.

Relax.
We can't be too obvious.

Doug realizes we're shadowing
him, Jackson's screwed.

We'll get close,
wait to see if it escalates.

[ Police radio chatter ]

[ Sighs ]

Hey, bud.
Live around here?

No, sir.
Just came from a friend's.

Ah.
Where you off to now?

-Bus stop.
-Bus stop's that way.

Got any I.D.?

Yes, sir.

Dispatch, 7-Adam-07.

Clear for a party.
Last of Gusta, first of Armand.

DOB, 7-26-1990.

Have you on your way
in a second.

Unless she comes back
with bad news.

You got
any outstanding warrants?

I've never been arrested,
sir.

Dispatch: 7-Adam-07, Gusta comes
back clear and valid.

-There you go.
-Bus stop's that way, sir.

-Thank you, officers.
-Of course.

See [sighs] that's
the kind of citizen I like.

Knows his place,
respects authority.

You know, we wouldn't have
half the problems we have

if more of them behaved
like that one.

[ Clicks tongue ]

7-Adam-07, Code 4,
show us clear.

This so isn't fair
to Jackson.

I know. Having to ride
next to a guy,

hoping he doesn't cross
the line.

Can't imagine
what that's like.

I can.

Look,
my first day as a rookie,

I thought you were gonna be
my Doug.

Excuse me?
How am I anything like that guy?

Do you remember
our first day out?

I was walking
alongside the shop,

then those Spanish-speaking
gardeners honked at us.

You turned it
into a Tim Test,

and when I didn't translate

your less-than-PC words
to them correctly,

you took my head off.

So what?
I'm a bad cop now?

No. Not at all.

But that was a bad stop.

How do you think those men felt
about that interaction with you?

You think
it was a positive experience?

I'm not looking
for five-star Yelp reviews.

-I've got a job to do.
-Well, so did they.

They were just trying
to get to work,

and then they met you.

Excessive and unnecessary use
of the horn is against the law.

Plus they had several
vehicle violations.

I could've impounded
their truck.

And that justified you
terrorizing them?

-Terrorizing?
-Yeah.

Really?
That's it.

You know, don't say another word
to me.

We're done
with this conversation.

It's 8:58.

Class registration
is about to begin.

Can you pull over, please?
Thank you.

-We are not taking any calls.
-What if we get a priority one?

Why are you trying
to jinx me?

-Officers! Officers.
-How can I help you?

You need to know what's going on
in my neighbor's backyard.

[ Sighs ]
And you jinxed me.

No, I didn't.
What seems to be the problem?

He has been out there building
this thing for -- for weeks.

I know
he doesn't have a permit.

Okay.
Sounds like an illegal add-on.

You make your call,
get Lila in that course,

and I will take care
of this.

Alright.
Radio if you need me.

-Right.
-But only if you really need me.

I --

-Shall we?
-Yes. Please.

Just so you know,
Gary's a bit of a --

what's the word? --
moron.

See?
This can't be legal.

[ Metal clatters ]

Uh, sir? Can I have a word
with you about --

Uh, not now.
I'm trying to find my helmet.

We're at T-minus
10 minutes.

Where you headed?

Up.

-[ Vehicle door closes ]
-[ Dialing ]

-[ Line ringing ]
-[ Clears throat ]

Receptionist: Music Academy.
How can I help you?

Hi, uh, yeah.
I-I'm trying to get my daughter

into the summer program.

-Is there still room?
-Let me check.

Delores:
He's a Flat Earther.

Says he's out to prove
the world is a pancake.

No. No.
Not a pancake.

A disc within a dome,
hmm?

Sir,
you can't launch that.

W-Why not?
I have permission.

From whom?

Sir. Step on out.

I'd stand back
if I were you.

Sir, just step on out

before you do
anything silly.

Ten, nine, eight...

-[ Engine roars ]
-...seven, six...

Yes, there is.
Can I get her name?

Uh, yes. Yeah.
Her n--

[ Beep ]

[ Explosion ]

[ Thud ]

[ Groans ]

-Did I make it to space?
-You sure did.

And when you landed,
you said the Earth was round.

It is?

Recorded message: We're sorry,
but registration

for the Music Academy
is now closed.

[ Beep ]

Oh, my --
I can't believe this.

I promised Lila I would get her
into that class.

Well, you can't
blame yourself.

I don't.

I-I see. Look, uh,
this could be a good thing.

I mean, a teachable moment
for Lila.

Show her that life
has disappointments.

Right. Like when her mother lost
custody of her for two years.

Nolan, my daughter knows
all about disappointments.

What I'm trying to do right now
is show her

how Mommy can come through
for her.

I'm sorry.

It's not over yet.
Give me the keys.

Thank you.

-Are you still mad at me?
-I'm not mad.

Really?
Because you look mad.

At least madder
than usual.

Anakela:
Thank you for coming.

We keep getting
our deliveries stolen.

Most people on the block
are having the same problem.

Sounds like
a porch pirate.

No front door camera.

We'll walk around
and see

if any of your neighbors
have one.

Okay, I'm not mad,

but I am upset.

I knew it.

At myself.
You're right.

I used the situation
with the gardeners

without thinking
about the impact I had on them.

I c-can't undo it,

but I can make sure
I never do it again.

That's progress.

I'm proud of you.

-I'm thrilled.
-Mm-hmm.

♪ You better run, run, run,
run, run, go ♪

Wait. The porch pirate
is a doggy?

♪ You better run, run,
run, run, run ♪

♪ Chasing that dream ♪

♪ Chasing that dream ♪

♪ Chasing that dream ♪

♪ You better run, run,
run, run, run ♪

Good boy!
Who's a good boy?

Who's a good boy?

Who's under arrest?

Bad dog. Bad dog.

Hey, what are you
doing here?

We need to talk.

About seeing my mom's OB/GYN
for prenatal care --

Shut up with that.

They don't know I'm pregnant,
remember?

Look, I wasn't that loud.
They're not gonna figure it out.

They're detectives.

Figuring out things
is in the job description.

Speaking of which,
why are you so hung up on me

going to
your mom's OB/GYN?

She's a specialist.

So you've said.
What's going on?

Look, after my dad died,
I took a genetic test.

Turns out I'm predisposed
to Fragile X Syndrome.

It can cause
mental disabilities, seizures...

Why are you just now
telling me?

I don't know.

We didn't plan to get pregnant
this soon.

I wanted to tell you.
I-I didn't know how to do it.

You and the baby mean everything
to me,

-and if my DNA --
-Stop.

I'll make an appointment to see
your mom's doctor.

Look, I-I have to get back
to work.

-Angela --
-I'll see you at home.

[ Sighs ]

Like I said, I-I called
at 9:00 on the dot,

and --
and I got through,

but then a man fell
from the sky and --

Please spare me
the theatrics.

No, no, no. T-This really
actually happened.

I can show you video
on my --

I'll give you points
for originality,

but rules are rules.

Better luck next year.

No, sir, I have it
right here. I --

Nyla, right?

Alonzo Smith.
Holly's dad.

Is she the one
with the long hair?

God, no.
The one with the braids.

Long hair Holly's
a monster.

She really is,
isn't she?

Was that the Music Academy
director you were talking to?

Uh, yeah.

I, uh --
I missed registration,

so I was hoping
I could come down here

and try to appeal
in person.

[ Chuckles ]
Did you miss registration, too?

Overslept.

So I thought I'd try
swaying him

with some cronuts
from DKs.

Oh, I love DKs.

Take one.

No, no. I can't.

No, that's your bribe.
[ Chuckles ]

I insist.

If he wasn't moved
by a cop in uniform,

what's a box full of sugar
and dough gonna do?

[ Chuckles ]

-My ex is going to kill me.
-Mm. So is mine.

No, I'm serious.
I got like an hour to live.

So if you get called
to a homicide in Silver Lake,

-that'll be me.
-[ Chuckles ]

At least I'll get
to see you again.

[ Chuckles ]

Look, I'm gonna poke around,
see if I can find an angle

to work
to get Holly in.

You want me to let you know if
I find a work-around for Lila?

Yeah, actually.
Uh, I'd appreciate that.

[ Police siren chirps ]

Doug: You know you ran
that stop sign back there?

License, registration,
proof of insurance.

They're in my bag.

Is it okay if I reach in
and grab them?

Slowly.

-Why're you so nervous?
-No reason.

Erika. Anything illegal
in the car or on your person?

-No, sir.
-Doug: Great.

You won't mind
if we search the car, then?

Uh, we don't need to search
the car.

Like you said,
nothing illegal in here,

so you don't mind if we conduct
a search, right?

Uh, yeah.
Yeah, I guess so.

But...there are guns
in the trunk.

Hands where I can see them.
Step out of the car.

They're my ex-husband's.

I was on my way
to the police station

-to turn them in.
-Head to the sidewalk.

Look, we're finalizing
our divorce,

and he's not happy
with how it's going,

and he's been threatening
to kill me.

Did you get
a restraining order?

Yes.
But it doesn't stop him

from driving by the house
every day.

You don't live
with your husband?

Ex-husband.
And no.

So how'd you get
the guns?

I used my old key.

-Erika, you're under arrest.
-What?

Burglary, possession
of stolen property...

Wh--

...illegally transporting
firearms.

Why? No. I-I told you
I was going to turn them in
to the police.

You can tell all that
to the judge.

Okay, can I talk to you
for a second, sir?

Take a seat on the curb.

Look, do we really need
to take her in?

Let's just book the guns
and write it up for DA review.

C'mon, man.
What do you say?

First of all, never speak to me
like that again.

"C'mon, man"?

I'm your superior officer,

not one of your homeboys.

-Yes, sir.
-And secondly,

that woman just admitted
to three felonies.

She says she's turning in
the weapons,

but who's to say
she wasn't on her way

to blast
her ex-husband's brains out?

She's going in.
Fill out her booking sheet.

I'll call in a tow.

-Come on.
-Oh, please.

Please, you don't have
to do this, okay?

Look, help me.
Look, I can't go to jail.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Please.

I'm telling you,
it was awful.

"Awful but lawful."

Look, and, by the way, her story
completely checked out.

She has a restraining order,
called 911 a bunch of times.

She needed protection
from her ex.

But instead of helping...

turns out that she needed
protection from the cops, too.

Tim and I were stuck
on a call.

If we'd been free,
maybe we could've --

No, no.
This is my fault.

Grey wanted to bench Doug.

I...I pushed him
to do more,

and now that woman is in jail
for no reason.

You can't blame yourself.

Getting rid of Doug
is gonna take time.

But how many more people are
gonna get hurt in the meantime?

I just -- I thought you
supported me

staying on the job
a while longer.

I do.

What you are trying to do here
is important.

But I'm not gonna
just sit around

waiting to start
my second act.

So what,
you want a job?

Maybe.
I don't know,

but that's what I'm here
to talk about.

Oh. Okay, great.

Um, have you considered
volunteering?

Oh, I'm not here to talk
to you.

I need to reinvent myself,
find my new purpose,

and who knows more about that
than John Nolan?

-[ Cellphone chimes ]
-[ Giggles ]

I didn't know
you could do that.

-Do what?
-Giggle.

-I don't giggle.
-Uh-huh.

Who you texting?

No one.

It's just -- It's --
It's another one of the parents

that's trying to get his kid
into the Academy.

His kid. Oh, is he single?
Is he nice?

Nope.
We are not doing this.

-Hey, guys.
-Luna, hi.

Hi. John, I have got a favor
to ask.

Of course.

I'm starting to think about
my second act in life,

and I was wondering
if I could pick your brain.

I would be honored.
Yes.

Oh, great.
I'm gonna get a cup of coffee.

Can I get
you two anything?

-I'm set.
-No, no, I'm good. Thank you.

Okay, great, thanks.

Whatever you do,
do not give her any advice.

That's exactly
what she asked for.

Oh, my God.
You cannot be this naive.

The boss' wife wants
to "rethink her second act"?

That is between her
and the boss.

Trust me, you do not want
to get involved.

Just listen, smile,
and nod.

But what if I can actually
help her?

But what if Sergeant Grey
doesn't like the help you give?

Who do you think
he will blame then?

-Good point.
-Mm-hmm.

Just smile, nod,

and sympathetically say,
"I hear you."

You got it?

I hear you.

Doug: Hey, what's the deal
with Jackson?

Kid's questioning
all my stops.

Sounds like the mark
of a good student.

I don't see you letting Chen
question your every move.

My last rookie
didn't ask questions.

And he was a "brotha."

Maybe the issue isn't
the student, it's the teacher.

Huh.

Yeah,
maybe you're right.

Whatever nonsense Lopez
was teaching him,

I got 20 days
to straighten him out.

Luna: I climbed the ladder
to VP of Sales,

but that was 19 years ago.

Yeah, I hear you.

Now Dominique's in college,
and Wade, he's busy as ever.

It just feels like everyone
is moving forward except me.

Mm. I hear you.

So now you know
my whole life story.

[ Chuckles ]

What --
What do you think?

Well, um...when my son went off
to college

and my divorce
was finalized,

I-I just -- I felt a little
lost, you know? Just like you.

So how did you figure out
what to do next?

Well, looking down the barrel
of a gun during a bank robbery

will give you some clarity,
but I advise against it.

[ Laughs ]

Okay.
Well, what would you advise?

I would advise...

...just wait.

And be open
for your eureka moment.

My eureka moment.

I love it.

Yes. It's perfect.

It's -- It's profound

yet...so simple.

-Thank you.
-Okay.

I will speak kindly of you
at your funeral.

No more pain,
no more anxiety.

By the way, do you know my son,
Officer Nolan?

He swears by this stuff.

I mean, how else
would a 48-year-old rookie

make it in the LAPD?
[ Laughs ]

I'm 46. I'm 46.

-Hi.
-Hi.

-I'm his mother.
-Oh.

-Evelyn.
-Hi. Hi. Oh.

And this is gonna
change your life.

20 bucks a pop, 3 for $50.
Certified organic.

Mom --

I see why
you use this stuff, Nolan.

My neck's already better.

I don't, Smitty. I don't --
I don't actually use it.

Mom, what are you doing?
These are my co-workers.

Now they're my customers.

Nolan.
We gotta roll.

Uh...please stop
being here.

Just go home, okay?
Uh, so good talking to you.

Thank you
for the advice.

Why should he have to go
through this with Stanton?

If I did one-tenth of the things
that that guy does on the job,

I'd be gone so fast.

As a rookie, sure,

but not once
you're off probation.

There are layers
of safeguards

that protect cops
from getting fired,

and some of those safeguards
are important,

considering the risks
we take.

It doesn't explain
why he gets a pass

on being
a complete monster.

He doesn't get a pass.

He gets POBOR.
Peace Officer Bill Of Rights.

And he gets a union
and a legal defense team.

If he gets fired,
he gets to appeal.

If he gets convicted,
he gets to appeal.

And those lawyers,
which our union dues pay for,

will tear apart every detail
surrounding his termination.

If they find one thing
out of order

or it just seems excessive,

he gets his job back,
including back pay.

-And then --
-He gets emboldened,

with a huge chip
on his shoulder,

and that negative attitude
is contagious.

The weight of this shouldn't
all fall on Jackson.

There's got to be more
we can do

than just be guardian angels
out there,

hoping that we get to Jackson
in time if something goes wrong.

It's...

Sgt. Caradine: We got a body
in a bag found near LAX.

No head, no hands,
no witnesses.

No problem.
I'm on it, Sarge.

Actually,
this one's gonna go to Vargas.

But I'm next
in the rotation.

Under my discretion.
Is there a problem?

No, sir.

[ Mouse clicks ]

Does Sarge give a lot of cases
out of rotation?

Almost never.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Beeps ]

Hello?

Sgt. Grey: Nolan, are you
some kind of con man?

What?

You talked my wife into
finding her eureka moment,

then your mother swooped in
for the kill?

Wait, I'm sorry.

My mom sold Luna
a bottle of CBD oil?

Not a bottle,
all the bottles.

My wife paid your mother
$10,000 for her franchise.

Mom.

You are giving Luna
her money back.

Yeah, well,
that's not gonna happen.

Besides,
she doesn't want it back.

She's happy
with her purchase.

This is my boss' wife.

Do you have any idea what this
could do to my career?

This has nothing to do with you,
honey,

or your precious career.

Luna and I got to talking.

She liked my business,
and so I sold it to her.

-For 10 grand?
-I wanted 25,

but she's a hell
of a negotiator.

This is just like back home
with my construction business.

Oh, there you go
with that old chestnut again.

I-I would finish a job,
and then you would use

my good name
to sell my customers

fraudulent
home insurance policies.

Oh, will you please
just let that go?

I almost lost
my business license.

This is the problem with men,
you and that Sergeant Grey.

What are you
talking about?

You look down on women.

Luna is
an excellent salesperson.

You watch. She's gonna double
her investment.

Mother,
I'm begging you...

for me, please,
give Luna her money back.

It isn't her money.
It's mine.

That crap your mom sold me
is poison.

Take a look at this thing
on my neck.

Oh, Smitty, you should get
that mole checked.

No, not the mole.
I've always had that.

-Below that.
-[ Gasps ]

Yeah.
And I'm not the only one.

[ Knock on window ]

Sir, Mrs. Grey,
I'm so sorry.

John,
no need to apologize.

My husband needs to.

Officer Nolan...

I'm sorry for accusing you and
your mom of scamming my wife.

Luna's assured me that CBD
is a growth market

and she's guaranteed to make
money on this stuff, so --

N-No!
That's toxic!

-It's what?
-Toxic?

Uh, cops are breaking out into
rashes all over the department.

Your mother sold me
snake oil?

Yes. But I don't think
that she knew that she did --

-at least I-I hope she didn't.
-What'd I tell you?

I'm sitting on $10,000 worth
of skin irritants.

I can fix this
in one phone call --

Mom?

The CBD oil is toxic.

You have to give Luna
her money back.

-I'm with Sergeant G--
-[ Line disconnects ]

Hello? Hello?

Two phone calls,
and...

Lucy:
So, what are we doing here?

Doug mentioned
his last rookie was Black,

so I thought he might be
inclined to give us

some dirt on his old T.O.,
something actionable.

-That's great. Who is he?
-[ Vehicle approaches ]

Ben Owens.
And he's right on time.

Now, look, I don't know this
guy, so we can't tip our hand.

Alright, we make no accusations
and no demands.

-Understood?
-No accusations, no demands.

I got it.

Officer Owens?

I'm Bradford,
this is Chen.

Thanks for agreeing
to meet up.

No problem. Asked around,
heard you're good people.

-So, what's up?
-I need some insight,

but on the DL
if you know what I mean.

Ten-thirty-six.

Code of silence.
Talk to me.

Doug Stanton.
He was your T.O.

[ Chuckles ] The Dougernaut.
What about him?

You ever see him doing
anything shady?

Relax. Um...we were
just wondering

if you liked the way
he does business.

No. No way.
He's a hater.

But what do you really want
to know?

Whatever you feel comfortable
sharing with us.

It's --
This is stupid.

We all know
what we're talking about.

Do you think Doug
is a racist?

Have you ever seen him
treat minorities unfairly?

If I saw something
outside of policy

and I failed
to report it,

I'd be looking
at disciplinary action, too.

We're not here for that, okay?
Just be real with us.

He's creating some grief
on our end.

Hey, you got a good rep
and all,

but I don't know you.

I do know Doug Stanton,
and I am well aware

of what he can do to me
and my career.

Yeah, what about what he's doing
to civilians out on the street?

I'm weeks away
from joining Metro.

I can do more good
in that unit

than I can
by throwing it all away.

I'm sorry.
I can't help you.

You have a good day.

Well, that was a bust.

No, it wasn't.

Did you see him?
How conflicted he was?

-[ Engine starts ]
-We just got to give him time.

Trust me.

My mother is claiming

your money is tied up
in other investments,

but I have the address
of the supplier.

I'll get your refund.

Forget it.
I'll handle it.

No. I will.

You two can tag along.

Fine. Nolan and I can't handle
a personal matter in uniform,

so let's go change out.

You can listen
to me brainstorm

on how I'm going
to punish you.

Wade,
it is not his fault.

Punishing him
for his mother's behavior

would be like punishing me
for my dad's.

I see your point.

I'll find Harper,
tell her you're riding

-with me this morning.
-Yes, sir.

Thank you for that.

I'm guessing your dad
was a bit of a scammer, too?

Alcoholic.

It's brought me
a lifetime of pain.

Almost broke up
my marriage.

So what are you supposed to do
when someone you love is --

is ruining your life but you
don't know how to help them?

I know what I had to do.
But I'm not you.

And my father
isn't your mother.

However, you did offer me
some advice,

so I will return
the favor.

Find your limits, John.

We can't change their behavior.
They have to want it.

So be honest,
be merciful,

and do whatever you have to do
to protect yourself.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

'Sup, my brotha?

You sure?

Thanks for the heads-up.

Everything okay?

We're about to find out.

Just got a tip.
Let's go see if it's real.

Jackson:
Control, 7-Adam-07.

I have an on-view
eleven-three deal

in alley
between Lomita and Vineyard.

[ Siren chirps ]

[ Tires screech ]

Follow the backpack!

7-Adam-07,
foot pursuit!

Male, adult, Black,
blue shirt, black jeans!

-We're not close.
-Then punch it.

[ Siren wailing ]

There!

Police!
Don't make me kill you!

I-I got it!
I got it. I got it.

Damn it.
Jackson, I lost my body camera.

-Doug: You seen it?
-No.

But what I do see is a lousy
attempt at hiding evidence.

Like I can't get someone
down there to get that.

-What's your name, dumbass?
-Ask your mama.

She was screaming it
all last night.

You and me are gonna have
a lesson in respect.

Teach your mama some respect.
Get that ho off the streets.

-Look --
-Mm!

Officer West,
preserve the evidence.

I'm gonna take our friend
back to the shop.

I-I can take him, sir.

No.
I got it.

You stay here.

Come on.
Let's go, son.

[ Dialing ]

[ Line ringing ]

Sgt. Grey: You've reached
Sergeant Grey

of LAPD's Mid-Wilshire
Station.

Please leave a message.

Sarge,
it's -- it's Jackson.

Look, I-I think Doug's about to
beat the crap out of a suspect,

and he lost his body cam,
so there won't be a record.

[ Siren wailing ]

Found my body cam.

More importantly,
what are you doing here?

Told you to guard
the drugs.

Uh...

I don't remember
calling for backup.

Tim: We were in the
neighborhood. What's going on?

Well, this rookie doesn't know
how to follow orders.

Yeah, I-I was just,
um...

making sure you were alright,
sir.

You know, my last rookie
did everything I told him to.

Guy's name was Owens.

You know him?

Always had my back.

Still does.

Too bad Jackson
isn't more like him.

Since when do you
drink decaf?

I know
when I made detective,

I was drinking like two quarts
of hi-test a day.

[ Chuckles ]

-Everything okay?
-Yeah.

[ Sighs ]
No, not really.

I'm getting sidelined.

Why?

This stays between us?

I'm pregnant.

Wh-- That's --
That's amazing.

Congratulations.
Wait.

Wait, Caradine can't bench you
for that.

Technically, no.

Just assigning the good cases
to the non-preggers.

Bastard. That is exactly why
I hid my pregnancy.

I banked my vacation and
took the last two months off.

It's not fair.
No one ever asks a man

how he's gonna balance being a
dad and a cop at the same time.

Oh, I know.

Did you have to get
an amniocentesis?

Is that the long needle
in the belly thing?

No.
Why? Do you have to?

Yeah.

And the messed-up part is

even if the mutated gene
we're afraid of is detected,

we won't know if my baby's
affected until...

it's born.

I thought being a mom
was gonna be so simple.

Hmm.

-Does it get easier?
-Uh, it hasn't yet,

but if it ever does,
you are my first phone call.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Ugh.

I'm getting a rash
just being in here.

No wonder
the oil's toxic.

Yeah.
This feels like my mom's style.

Good afternoon.

-What do you want?
-Direct. I-I like it.

You recently sold 20 cases
of Professor Hempstein's CBD oil

to my business partner,
Evelyn Nolan.

The product is defective,
and I would like a refund.

No refunds.
Get lost.

-Listen, man --
-I appreciate that.

But if we leave
without recompense,

I will be forced to alert
the Health Department

and the
Better Business Bureau.

Knock yourself out.
Just don't do it from here.

If I may?

My friend, you really don't
want to make this a thing.

This stuff will take the paint
off your car.

Once that gets out,
your business will dry up.

Just give her
the 10 grand back --

10?
That crap only cost two.

Pretty hefty franchise fee
your mom charged us.

-Your mom?
-[ Laughter ]

I-I know.
Just...don't start.

She's good for it, okay?
Or -- Or at least I am.

Look, don't be an ass
and give me the money back.

Get the hell outta here.

And next time,
bring some muscle

that's not past
its expiration date.

You hear that, Officer Nolan?
He thinks we're old.

Nolan: Yes, I did,
Sergeant Grey.

Though I prefer to think
of myself as "well-seasoned."

Luna, why don't you go
wait downstairs, baby?

Yeah, we'll let the lawyers
straighten this out.

These guys aren't worth
the trouble.

There ain't gonna be no trouble,
right, son?

I got the feeling...

CBD isn't the only product
you guys have here.

Don't suppose you got anything
here I would consider...

uh, what's the word
I'm looking for?

-Illegal.
-That's the one.

This doesn't have to get ugly,
gentlemen,

but it will if we don't see
your hands in five seconds.

Screw five seconds.
Now.

Show me your hands.
Now.

Alright.

Alright.
Taking my hand out.

Back up.

Everyone on the ground.

Down. Face down.

Hands out.

Got 'em.

911, what's your emergency?

Yes, my husband
is a police officer,

and he is currently
in jeopardy

on the 10th floor
of 2108 Marcus Street.

Send backup.

-[ Pepper spray sprays ]
-[ Grunting ]

Oh!

And an ambulance.

Guns.

[ Groaning ]

[ Coughing ]

That's my girl.

-Hi.
-Hey.

What are you
doing here?

Had to give you the good news
in person.

No. You didn't?

But I did.

Both of our daughters are now
enrolled at the Music Academy.

How? How did you do it?
Extortion?

Quid pro quo.

The music director has a charity
near and dear to his heart

that's desperate for volunteers,
so [Inhales sharply]

you'll have to clear
your calendar a bit.

Ah.
Lila is gonna be thrilled.

How can I thank you?

Um...take me to dinner.

-You hungry?
-Uh...yeah.

But, um,
I can't tonight.

Uh...kid duty.

Ah.
Acceptable excuse.

But...you owe me.

I'm good for it.
[ Chuckles ]

[ Car alarm chirps ]

-Client got locked up?
-Yeah.

I'll be asleep
when you get home,

so...I'll see you
in the morning.

Angela, wait.
Please talk to me.

What do you want me
to say?

I'm scared.

So am I.

Hey, Sarge, a word?

I'm in a little bit
of a hurry.

I don't care.
What you did yesterday was crap.

Just because I'm pregnant
doesn't mean I can't do my job.

You gave my homicide
to Vargas,

so I'm putting you on notice,
Sarge.

I'm not hiding
this pregnancy.

I'd be doing a disservice
to every woman

who works here if I do.

So if I start waddling
or my ankles swell

or I knock over furniture
because my belly's so big,

don't ever skip me
in the rotation again.

♪ When my hands are tied ♪

First of all,
I gave that case to Vargas

because it had State Line Crew
written all over it.

He has two CIs inside.

Oh.

I wasn't aware of that.

And second,
you're pregnant?

-You didn't know?
-How could I?

But congratulations.

And just so you know, I'll work
you till you drop if you let me.

There's no mercy
for moms-to-be.

May I go now?

Yes, Sergeant.

And thank you.

You packed my bags?

You're throwing me out

I got you a room

Your flight leaves
at 6:00 a.m.

You know I hate
early flights.

Deal with it. Your problems
are no longer mine.

So what?
You want me to say I'm sorry?

I don't want to hear you
say anything.

I just...want you gone.

[ Sighs ]

[ Indistinct conversation ]

I got nothing to say
to you.

Oh, you had plenty to say
to Doug, though.

What happened
to code of silence?

What happened to cops
having each others' backs?

Yeah, Tim has mine.

-Who are you?
-The cop you just screwed over.

-Why'd you do it?
-Blue protects blue.

I know that, Doug knows that.
Why don't you?

Look, are you actually cool
with all this?

This is the game.

I didn't make waves,
and Doug hooked me up

with a spot on Metro.

So you can just ignore
all the pain he causes,

the abuse of power
to get that promotion?

The system
is not gonna change,

so what's the point of me
throwing myself off a cliff?

I gotta get what's mine,
and I advise you do the same.

Because Doug's not going down
without a fight.

Sir, you got a second?

What is it, Officer?

[ Sighs ]
I hate to do it,

but I had to write
a blue page up on the kid.

He disobeyed
a direct order,

leaving crucial evidence
unattended.

Now that drug dealer's lawyer
can get the charges dropped

because Jackson broke
the chain of custody.

I can appreciate the magnitude
of his error,

but I can personally attest to
Officer West being a solid cop.

Absolutely, sir.
Absolutely.

But as
his training officer,

it'd be a dereliction of duty
for me to let this slide.

He shouldn't be making mistakes
like this,

especially this late
in his training.

I mean, you understand,
don't you, Sergeant?

-I do.
-Yeah.

I mean,
it's a damn shame.

The kid has
such great potential.

Be such a waste to have him
wash out of the program.

[ Door opens, closes ]

[ Sighs ]

-[ Pencil scratching ]
-Damn it!
