The Rookie (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Episode #1.8 - full transcript
I know about you and Nolan.
When this gets out,
and it will get out,
it'll brand her.
So if you care about her
like you say you do,
you wouldn't even put her
in this position.
Are you breaking up with me?
Yeah, Lucy, I am.
I was just notified that
detectives made a drug bust.
It's your wife.
Isabel isn't a dealer.
Bradford and Isabel
were rookies together.
So she's a cop?
Was. Undercover narcotics.
Who's Carson Holland?
Carson stashed a kilo of heroin
in my heating unit.
You're facing 10 to 20.
I'm sorry.
7-Adam-15, burglary in progress.
609 Hollywood Boulevard.
Police!
7-Adam-15, in foot pursuit
of a 459 suspect.
Requesting backup.
Dispatch, do you copy?
Sometimes these old concrete
buildings can block signal.
Hey!
- Show me your hands!
- Do it now!
Against the wall. Got me?
Backpack down.
Give me your right hand.
Hold up.
Where the hell are we?
This door's locked.
No other doors, no windows.
What's that?
A code.
You've got to be kidding me.
- What?
- This is an escape room.
Stay. A what?
Where hipsters pay
to be locked in a room
filled with puzzles
that they have to solve
to get out.
Yes. Yes, yes.
That sounds like fun.
Yeah, maybe on a day off,
not after a long shift.
No signal.
Guess we're gonna have to solve
the puzzles now.
Sorry.
Looks like this one requires
three or more people.
Forget it.
The quicker we get out of here,
the quicker I go to jail.
So I'm happy to spend the night.
That's okay.
You wouldn't have been
much use anyway.
What's that supposed to mean?
Don't worry. We can just wait
till they open up again
in the morning.
I mean, eight hours
will just fly by.
Absolutely not.
It's a cipher.
Maybe a Caesar shift.
Caesar what?
Didn't you take Whitman's extra
credit class at the academy?
No, I was gonna but I...
"The first step towards freedom
lies in the last step
from captivity."
What are you, some kind
of secret genius?
It's not a secret.
Captivity.
Greenwich.
Harbledown.
Harbledown.
Canterbury.
Canterbury.
"Pallida mors aequo..."
Is it another code?
It's Latin.
"Pale death knocks
with the same tempo
upon the huts of the poor
and the towers of Kings."
Catholic school.
Towers of Kings.
Skeleton's missing a rib.
Nice!
You're holding back.
I wish I was.
Okay.
Okay. Okay.
I could watch this all day.
And now I can.
Are you recording this?
Yeah, just for,
teaching purposes.
Focus.
Ooh! There you go!
Nice takedown, Nolan.
Thanks.
Lucky move.
I don't know what to say.
You worked really hard for this.
You deserve it.
Thank you.
I'll sign up for
the detective's exam today.
You should thank Wolfe
and Vestri.
They're pulling for you.
I got the Tap.
I heard. Congrats.
Don't forget about us when you
get your detective's badge.
I'm sorry, do I know you?
Insufferable already.
You'll fit right in.
Hey, I mean,
it's not a done deal yet.
I still have to take the exam.
Well, we both know that
if the detectives want you,
you're in.
Hey, are we good?
I know you wanted it, too.
Of course.
I'm happy for you.
What's going on?
Talia just got the Tap.
No kidding. That's great.
What is she doing back here?
What the hell's going on?
They were supposed to hand her
to the D.A. for prosecution.
Your wife made a deal
to be a confidential informant.
What?
She has a lot of contacts
on the street.
Because she's a drug addict.
With police training.
Which will get her killed
if someone finds out.
They won't let that happen.
At least this way
she stays out of prison.
I heard Talia got the Tap.
You okay?
I'm fine. She's my friend.
I'm happy for her.
Whoo! Yeah, baby! Come on.
She's comin' round the outside,
going down...
All right, race is over.
Get off.
Did I win?
Sure.
Have you been drinking, ma'am?
No.
I'm high.
You're under arrest.
What? I paid for this ride.
Get down.
Okay.
What the hell is that?
Looks like a foot.
The real question is, why?
Why what?
Why do you have a dead foot?
It fell off.
Of who?
My boyfriend. He had gangrene.
And you're keeping it
because it reminds you of him?
No. I thought I could sell it.
All right. Come on.
Grab the foot.
You're not gonna puke on me,
are you, Boot?
No, ma'am.
I'm glad that my discomfort
is cheering you up.
Me too.
Dispatch, show us Code 6
and on location.
How many times has this alarm
gone off in the last month?
Six that I see.
Thanks.
We'll check the premises
and advise.
You gonna miss all this
when you're a fancy detective?
Not at all. What about me?
Even less.
Don't you move.
Dispatch, 7-Adam-15.
We have a woman with a gun.
Requesting backup.
Who wants to try me?
Don't move.
Put the gun down.
They tried to rob me.
Drop the gun now.
Take the one on the left.
Get down! There's nowhere to go.
Stop!
Where are your keys?
I need a car!
Drop the gun! Put it down!
Get out of the house.
Get outside.
Go, go, go.
Drop the gun!
Don't move.
Drop the gun!
7-Adam-15, shots fired.
One suspect down.
Requesting R.A.
and a supervisor.
Copy. Starting Code 3 fire
and ambulance.
7-Adam-15.
Negative on the ambulance.
Suspect is deceased.
Notify the watch commander.
Copy. Time of death?
Time of death 0955 hours.
He pulled a gun...
We can't talk about this until
after we're both questioned.
It could compromise
the investigation.
Right. Of course.
So, what's next?
It's a homicide.
I'll secure the scene,
preserve the evidence.
Homicide, right.
What should I do?
Nothing.
You're the suspect.
Wait in the hall.
You did the right thing,
letting them find
Isabel's drugs.
They weren't hers.
She's in this situation
because she let herself
get taken advantage of.
Do you really believe that?
It's an officer-involved
shooting.
It's Nolan.
Officer Nolan?
Officer Nolan.
Yes.
How many shots,
from which direction?
He was standing over there,
I was here.
I'm only able to ask two
questions at this time...
"How many shots,
from which direction?"
One.
Two?
One.
That way.
Your companion officer?
To guide you
through the process.
Anyone you want.
It's your choice.
Grey.
I-I want Grey.
Is that all right?
That's perfect.
He'll take you to the station.
Do I get the foot back?
- No.
- Fine.
I still have the other one.
- Hey, what's up?
- Booking's closed.
We got a bus in the garage
to take everyone to county.
Why? What's going on?
There was a shooting.
Things feel, um, really strange.
Time is all over the place.
Tachypsychia.
It's a common response
to a traumatic event.
You'll feel better
after you've slept.
So, what now?
Now you meet with your lawyer,
put together
your written statement.
Union rep is on his way.
He wants to go
over a few things.
Then there's the interview,
conducted by Internal Affairs,
with the lead
homicide detective,
district attorney,
and the independent
police auditor in attendance.
Lot of people.
Just tell the truth to the best
of your ability.
It'll be fine.
End of shift?
No.
They're here to answer
some questions.
About you.
How would you
characterize Officer Nolan?
Officer Nolan
is one of the finest people
I've ever known.
Back at the academy,
when everyone was gunning
for each other,
he'd stay up late
and help you study,
even if that meant
bombing the test himself.
Is he on any medication?
Not that I know of.
I think he has allergies.
Has Officer Nolan
ever talked about
wanting to use force?
Wanting to? No.
Is he going through anything
in his personal life?
I mean, isn't everyone?
Anything traumatic?
Death of a parent?
Breakup?
Interpersonal conflict?
No.
Where's my brother?
Why isn't he here?
Your brother was involved
in a shooting.
Is he in the hospital?
I'm afraid that's all
I can tell you at this time.
Hey, no, no, no. Is he dead?
Is he dead?
Come on.
Bishop.
You okay?
Yeah. How's Nolan?
Hasn't really hit him yet.
Have you ever...
Taken a life? No.
Me either.
Thanks for looking out for him.
You should go home.
And do what?
Watch TV? Order in?
I need to get to work.
I need to focus
on something else.
All right.
In that case,
report to Vestri and Wolfe.
They're working a big case,
and you need
to get your feet wet
if you're going to take
the detective's exam.
Yes, sir.
Captain.
Commander West. Please, come in.
Thank you.
It's good to see you again.
You too.
Anything I should know
as the investigation begins?
Officer Nolan and his T.O.
responded to a 211
at a convenience store.
He pursued an armed robber
into an occupied house.
Fired one shot.
Hopefully it's as
straightforward as it sounds.
Is this the first officer
under your command
to take a life?
Yes.
But you've been
through the process yourself.
You read my file, Commander.
Back when my son
was assigned here.
I understand that he and Nolan
are pretty tight.
Officer Nolan's pretty close
with both of his fellow rookies.
You like him?
I admire what he's trying to do.
Okay.
I'll keep you updated
about the investigation.
Dad.
When I got the call
about your station,
I was worried it was you.
I'm okay.
If it had been me,
I'd handle it.
I know.
You know,
Nolan's a great officer.
I'm sure it's a good shoot.
That's what I'm here
to determine.
You don't know who to call.
Can it wait?
The PIO will be briefing
the press soon.
You don't want your family to
hear about this on the news.
Who can handle a call like this?
Sarah. My ex-wife.
Sarah, it's me.
Hey, I've been meaning to call.
Did you look at Henry's course
load next semester?
Yeah, listen...
I'm worried
he's over-extending himself.
Sarah, I...
It's not the number of credits.
It's the difficulty.
Sarah, you're gonna see some
things on the news.
I want you to know I'm fine.
And tell Henry I'm fine.
John, what's going on?
I killed someone.
What?
On the job.
I killed someone.
Civil liability is covered
up to $2 million
under your plan.
I'm sorry.
I don't...
I'm a little...
Who are you?
Simon Paige, your union rep.
What?
If you don't remember,
say you don't remember.
Under no circumstances
do you express guilt.
But I feel terrible.
Guilt implies
you did something wrong.
Now, they're gonna tell you
your statement
can't be used against you
in a murder trial.
Technically true,
but it can and will be
used against you
in any civil proceeding.
Right.
You were saying,
about a civil trial?
Is that likely?
Quite.
If liability exceeds $2 million,
your wages will be garnished,
pursuant to...
To subdivision F
of California Government Code
Section 3303
or as otherwise required by law.
You're Jackson's dad.
We met at graduation.
Yes, we did.
But right now,
I'm the head
of Internal Affairs,
and you're being interviewed
about a shooting
that happened earlier today.
Right. Yes, sir. Sorry.
Now, do you understand
your rights
as I've described them?
No.
Only civilians have the right
to remain silent.
If you choose not to answer
any of my questions,
you will no longer be a cop.
Understand? I understand.
Let's begin.
Did you have any less-than-lethal
weapons available?
Taser? Pepper spray? Yes.
Did you attempt to use
any of these
less-than-lethal weapons?
No.
Why not?
I'm not sure.
I didn't have time.
You're not sure
or you didn't have time?
I-I didn't have time.
My hand was on my gun.
I couldn't reach for my Taser.
Did you have cover
or concealment?
No.
Did the suspect
discharge his firearm?
No.
How many rounds did you fire?
- One.
- What were you aiming at?
Him, his chest.
Center mass,
like we were trained.
Did you hit
what you were aiming at?
Yes.
Describe what he did
or what you saw
to make you think
you struck the suspect.
There was blood. He fell.
Finally, appreciating
that police work
involves rapidly changing
and dangerous,
fluid environments,
is there anything you would
have done differently?
What are you doing here?
I'm helping out
the detectives today.
You got the Tap?
Yeah.
Congratulations.
I know how much you wanted it.
Look, I know this is weird.
I was at your wedding...
Officer Bishop,
thanks for joining us.
Thanks for having confidence
in me.
You're all caught up
to speed on the case?
Our C.I.'s boyfriend, Carson,
is a low-level dealer.
He gets his drugs
from Marcus Vance.
We've been trying to get eyes
on him for years.
And this is our opportunity.
When is the next time
Carson plans on
meeting with Vance?
Um, tomorrow night
at some motel.
He's gonna buy another kilo.
Can you get him to
take you along?
What? You want me to
wear a wire?
I-I-I thought you wanted
information.
What's the best way
to get information?
I've never gone with him
on a buy before.
I can't just ask
out of the blue.
It'll look suspicious.
So be convincing.
Maybe we should start slower.
Sending her into a buy to make
her certified reliable...
- That's as slow as it gets.
- You don't understand.
Carson's paranoid.
H-He'll know something's up.
Then we'll have to get him to
think it was his idea.
I can't imagine
what Nolan's going through.
Can you?
Yeah.
My second year as a T.O.,
a prisoner transport
went sideways.
My Boot didn't search
the suspect properly,
lost her gun.
The guy would've killed us both
if I hadn't pulled the trigger.
What happened to the Boot?
I don't know.
She wasn't a cop after that.
Is there anything
anyone said or did
that helped you through it?
No.
I just had to make
my peace with it.
Don't leave town.
You must be available
for questioning
within an hour of notification.
And remember, you can talk
to your fellow officers,
but they could be called in
to testify
about anything you say.
So think about whether you want
to drag them into this.
I understand, sir.
Hey. Are you all right?
Yeah.
Feel like I haven't seen you
in years.
Is there anything you need?
Ready to go?
Yeah.
Everybody will do their jobs.
I'm sure it'll be over shortly.
Just go get some sleep.
Thanks.
Nolan.
The rest of them
would have told me
I did the right thing
whether I did or not.
I knew if I asked you,
you'd tell me the truth.
So, why haven't you asked me?
I don't think I'm ready
to hear the answer.
He had a gun on you.
He refused repeated orders
to surrender.
I would've done exactly
what you did.
Get outside. Go, go, go.
Drop the gun! Put it down!
Don't move.
7-Adam 15. Suspect is deceased.
- What should I do?
- You're the suspect.
Is there anything you
would have done differently?
That's Isabel's boyfriend?
Our girl's fallen off a long way
since Bradford.
Come on.
Carson Miller.
I know you?
Nope.
But I know you.
Come on. Let's go.
Hands on the car.
Why? I didn't do anything.
You're on parole, Carson.
We can search you
whenever we want.
Hope you didn't
have plans today.
- Do you have a minute?
- Of course. Come in.
Get the door.
How are you doing?
Good.
No. That's...
That's not true at all.
There was something I was hoping
you could help me with.
Um...
I wanted to see my body-cam
footage of the event,
if that's okay.
You have a right to see it.
But honestly,
I don't think you should.
Look, I've been
where you are now.
It was an alley
instead of a bedroom,
rapist instead of a robber,
but the results were the same.
I understand
that you want answers,
but watching
the body-cam footage,
I don't think you're ready
for how traumatic that can be.
I need to see it.
Okay.
Drop the gun! Put it down!
Get out of the house. Get outside.
Go, go, go.
Drop the gun!
Don't move.
Drop the gun!
He was scared.
Maybe he wasn't
gonna pull the trigger.
Maybe I could have talked him
down another way.
Hey.
That's not what I saw.
You think he was gonna kill me?
I think you did exactly
what we trained you to do
when you saw that your life
was in jeopardy.
Thank you.
One more thing.
The other robber,
Kyle Montgomery,
posted bail this morning.
He gave an interview stating
that you killed his brother
in cold blood.
Now, obviously,
we know that the facts
don't match his version.
John, I want you to know
that the department
has your back, 100%.
Thank you.
Hey, it's me. We got trouble.
What happened?
I got pinched with drugs on me.
A lot?
Enough to keep me
from meeting Vance tonight.
Can you reschedule?
No. You don't reschedule
with a man like that.
God, you're an idiot. Yeah.
Okay, fine. I got it.
Hey, um, is there someone else
you trust to go instead?
You know, maybe... maybe Rusty?
Rusty's an even bigger idiot
than you.
Damn it.
You're gonna have to do it.
No way.
If I don't pay Vance back,
I'm dead.
So you're gonna do this.
Yeah. Fine, okay.
I'll do it.
Good work.
We'll get you out of here once
we take your boyfriend
to the courthouse.
Hey.
Are you sure you're up
for tonight?
No.
But I can't go to prison,
so guess I have to be.
Have you heard from Nolan?
Not since yesterday. You?
No.
I didn't know if I should call.
Maybe he needs us to reach out.
I don't know.
He'll tell us what he needs.
You didn't.
That was different, okay?
I was ashamed.
Maybe he is, too.
The Rooks were asking
how they can help Nolan.
I found heavy drinking really
helped knock out the nightmares.
Maybe keep that to yourself.
Detective Talia graces us
with her presence.
Yeah, it breaks my heart
to see you out of uniform.
You seem... shorter.
I need to talk to you.
Come on, Boot!
How is she? Not good.
I can only imagine
how you've been handling...
I don't need to commiserate.
I need to know what's going on.
If the detectives know
I revealed anything about the
operation... Then don't.
They want Isabel to wear a wire
to a drug deal.
Tonight.
A wire? Why don't they just shoot in
her in the head and be done with it?
Be a hell of a lot quicker.
Excuse us.
You enter my office again
without knocking,
I will put you on admin leave
without pay.
Is that understood?
You can't let them do this,
all right?
She's an ex-cop.
As if being an informant
wasn't enough,
now they want her to buy a kilo
of heroin wearing a wire?
I looked at her file.
She took part in dozens
of drug busts
when she was
a narcotics detective.
This is different.
Explain to me how it is
that you know the details
of their operation.
You don't know her
like I do, okay?
You've read her file.
You know who she was.
I know who she is now.
And the Isabel in that file
is gone.
I'm sorry.
All I can do now is put you
on rescue detail.
If the deal goes south,
you will be
the first in the door.
I'm sorry I barged in.
It won't happen again.
John.
Hey. Hey.
How long have you been
standing here?
People are staring.
Yeah, I get that a lot.
Tell me what's going on.
I can't.
If I talk to you about it,
they could call you to testify.
Then I'll testify
you're one of the best people
I know.
I can't stop thinking about it.
I was so amped up
chasing that guy,
and then he turned,
and then he was dead.
What if I can't
get past this, Luce?
What... How will I ever
do the job again?
Um... You know what?
I'm sorry. I should go.
Hey. No, no, no, no.
Um...
Come with me. Yeah?
Done with the investigation?
For now.
Don't suppose you could
tell me anything.
You know I can't.
Yeah.
Hey. Can I, um,
take you to dinner?
Told your mother I'd take her.
I mean, you both can come.
I don't think she's ready
for that.
Um, see you at church?
Looking forward to it.
What are we doing here?
I can't imagine what you're
going through.
And maybe if I was
in the same place,
I'd think about quitting, too.
But...
they're alive
because you did your job.
You put your own life at risk
to protect them,
and if you're ever
in that position again,
I know you'll do the same thing.
Um... Thank you very much
for the ride
and, the therapy session.
Of course.
Um... Can I make you a drink?
I could, whip you
up a cappuccino.
Really? No.
I don't know
how to work the machine.
I hate it.
I'm a little scared of it.
Maybe next time.
Yeah. No, of course.
I'm sure
you have someplace to be.
Yeah. I should, um...
Um...
We'll be right here.
Anything goes wrong,
we'll be inside in a heartbeat.
We can call this off.
I'm fine.
No, you're not.
This'll help.
Methadone? Thank you.
Hey, um, what...
What happens after tonight?
They won't arrest Vance
immediately.
They'll want to watch him
for a while,
make cases against
the rest of his crew.
His lieutenant, his supplier,
the supplier's supplier.
Yeah.
This is never gonna end, is it?
Stop! What are you doing?
I want to remember this.
Come on. This is our last day
as fun, carefree single people.
Only boredom and drudgery
from here on out.
I'm afraid so. It's in the vows.
There's still time. Great.
Yeah. Go.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Are you kidding?
Hanging out near the airport
is a normal Tuesday night
for me.
You'd be right here
if the situations were reversed.
And I brought fries.
Thanks.
You know, you'd have to be
in an actual relationship
for the situations
to be reversed.
What are you, my mother?
Okay. Here we go.
- Who are you?
- Carson sent me.
- She's nervous.
- She's fine.
She's done
stuff like this before.
Get out of here, junkie.
Hey.
I have the money
that Carson owes Vance.
Does he want it or not?
You Vance?
You got my money?
- Yeah.
- Count it.
The money's all here.
How fast can you move that?
Couple of weeks.
Good.
Tell Carson next time he sends
you to do his work for him,
I'll assume you're in charge
and put him in the ground.
It's done.
Just take the brick and go.
Hey, wait. Um...
we could move more than this.
What the hell is she doing?
Another kilo at least.
Really?
'Cause Carson always said no
to that much weight.
What is she doing?
If he sends for another kilo,
we can follow his guys
to their source.
She wants to end this.
Smart. No, desperate.
Gonna make him suspicious.
Okay.
I'll get you another kilo.
But you'll have to wait.
Sure.
I got no place else to be.
This place got a mini-bar?
We should go in now.
Negative. We wait for the drop.
That was...
A mistake.
A fun,
never-going-to-happen-again
mistake.
Right. Yeah.
Exactly.
Agreed.
I know you from someplace?
I don't think so.
I do. You look really familiar.
I'm an addict,
and you're a dealer,
so I'm sure we've crossed paths.
He's on to her.
He knows she was a cop.
It's a big city.
He could have seen her anywhere.
Or she busted one of his friends
back in the day.
Could be.
Maybe you just have
one of those faces.
Sure.
Yeah. I, get that all the time.
What happened?
We lost signal.
- We lost her.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's probably just a glitch.
Or he's on to her.
We need to go in!
All units, hold position!
He's on to her. I'm going in.
No. It's just a glitch, Tim.
Hold position. All units, hold.
Damn it. Go. Go, go.
Police!
Clear!
They must have gone
out the back.
- You did this!
- Hey, hey!
- You did this!
- Hey!
- You!
- Hey!
- Come here!
- Calm down!
Calm down!
What if it wasn't a mistake?
What?
I'm gonna make something to eat.
Do you want something?
Not for me. Thank you.
Lucy?
Hey.
You know who I am?
You're Kyle Montgomery.
You're Alex's brother.
No! No, no, no, no, no.
I don't got a brother no more.
You killed him.
I didn't have a choice.
He was gonna shoot me.
You're a liar!
He wouldn't have hurt anybody.
You can't know that.
You weren't in the roo...
When this gets out,
and it will get out,
it'll brand her.
So if you care about her
like you say you do,
you wouldn't even put her
in this position.
Are you breaking up with me?
Yeah, Lucy, I am.
I was just notified that
detectives made a drug bust.
It's your wife.
Isabel isn't a dealer.
Bradford and Isabel
were rookies together.
So she's a cop?
Was. Undercover narcotics.
Who's Carson Holland?
Carson stashed a kilo of heroin
in my heating unit.
You're facing 10 to 20.
I'm sorry.
7-Adam-15, burglary in progress.
609 Hollywood Boulevard.
Police!
7-Adam-15, in foot pursuit
of a 459 suspect.
Requesting backup.
Dispatch, do you copy?
Sometimes these old concrete
buildings can block signal.
Hey!
- Show me your hands!
- Do it now!
Against the wall. Got me?
Backpack down.
Give me your right hand.
Hold up.
Where the hell are we?
This door's locked.
No other doors, no windows.
What's that?
A code.
You've got to be kidding me.
- What?
- This is an escape room.
Stay. A what?
Where hipsters pay
to be locked in a room
filled with puzzles
that they have to solve
to get out.
Yes. Yes, yes.
That sounds like fun.
Yeah, maybe on a day off,
not after a long shift.
No signal.
Guess we're gonna have to solve
the puzzles now.
Sorry.
Looks like this one requires
three or more people.
Forget it.
The quicker we get out of here,
the quicker I go to jail.
So I'm happy to spend the night.
That's okay.
You wouldn't have been
much use anyway.
What's that supposed to mean?
Don't worry. We can just wait
till they open up again
in the morning.
I mean, eight hours
will just fly by.
Absolutely not.
It's a cipher.
Maybe a Caesar shift.
Caesar what?
Didn't you take Whitman's extra
credit class at the academy?
No, I was gonna but I...
"The first step towards freedom
lies in the last step
from captivity."
What are you, some kind
of secret genius?
It's not a secret.
Captivity.
Greenwich.
Harbledown.
Harbledown.
Canterbury.
Canterbury.
"Pallida mors aequo..."
Is it another code?
It's Latin.
"Pale death knocks
with the same tempo
upon the huts of the poor
and the towers of Kings."
Catholic school.
Towers of Kings.
Skeleton's missing a rib.
Nice!
You're holding back.
I wish I was.
Okay.
Okay. Okay.
I could watch this all day.
And now I can.
Are you recording this?
Yeah, just for,
teaching purposes.
Focus.
Ooh! There you go!
Nice takedown, Nolan.
Thanks.
Lucky move.
I don't know what to say.
You worked really hard for this.
You deserve it.
Thank you.
I'll sign up for
the detective's exam today.
You should thank Wolfe
and Vestri.
They're pulling for you.
I got the Tap.
I heard. Congrats.
Don't forget about us when you
get your detective's badge.
I'm sorry, do I know you?
Insufferable already.
You'll fit right in.
Hey, I mean,
it's not a done deal yet.
I still have to take the exam.
Well, we both know that
if the detectives want you,
you're in.
Hey, are we good?
I know you wanted it, too.
Of course.
I'm happy for you.
What's going on?
Talia just got the Tap.
No kidding. That's great.
What is she doing back here?
What the hell's going on?
They were supposed to hand her
to the D.A. for prosecution.
Your wife made a deal
to be a confidential informant.
What?
She has a lot of contacts
on the street.
Because she's a drug addict.
With police training.
Which will get her killed
if someone finds out.
They won't let that happen.
At least this way
she stays out of prison.
I heard Talia got the Tap.
You okay?
I'm fine. She's my friend.
I'm happy for her.
Whoo! Yeah, baby! Come on.
She's comin' round the outside,
going down...
All right, race is over.
Get off.
Did I win?
Sure.
Have you been drinking, ma'am?
No.
I'm high.
You're under arrest.
What? I paid for this ride.
Get down.
Okay.
What the hell is that?
Looks like a foot.
The real question is, why?
Why what?
Why do you have a dead foot?
It fell off.
Of who?
My boyfriend. He had gangrene.
And you're keeping it
because it reminds you of him?
No. I thought I could sell it.
All right. Come on.
Grab the foot.
You're not gonna puke on me,
are you, Boot?
No, ma'am.
I'm glad that my discomfort
is cheering you up.
Me too.
Dispatch, show us Code 6
and on location.
How many times has this alarm
gone off in the last month?
Six that I see.
Thanks.
We'll check the premises
and advise.
You gonna miss all this
when you're a fancy detective?
Not at all. What about me?
Even less.
Don't you move.
Dispatch, 7-Adam-15.
We have a woman with a gun.
Requesting backup.
Who wants to try me?
Don't move.
Put the gun down.
They tried to rob me.
Drop the gun now.
Take the one on the left.
Get down! There's nowhere to go.
Stop!
Where are your keys?
I need a car!
Drop the gun! Put it down!
Get out of the house.
Get outside.
Go, go, go.
Drop the gun!
Don't move.
Drop the gun!
7-Adam-15, shots fired.
One suspect down.
Requesting R.A.
and a supervisor.
Copy. Starting Code 3 fire
and ambulance.
7-Adam-15.
Negative on the ambulance.
Suspect is deceased.
Notify the watch commander.
Copy. Time of death?
Time of death 0955 hours.
He pulled a gun...
We can't talk about this until
after we're both questioned.
It could compromise
the investigation.
Right. Of course.
So, what's next?
It's a homicide.
I'll secure the scene,
preserve the evidence.
Homicide, right.
What should I do?
Nothing.
You're the suspect.
Wait in the hall.
You did the right thing,
letting them find
Isabel's drugs.
They weren't hers.
She's in this situation
because she let herself
get taken advantage of.
Do you really believe that?
It's an officer-involved
shooting.
It's Nolan.
Officer Nolan?
Officer Nolan.
Yes.
How many shots,
from which direction?
He was standing over there,
I was here.
I'm only able to ask two
questions at this time...
"How many shots,
from which direction?"
One.
Two?
One.
That way.
Your companion officer?
To guide you
through the process.
Anyone you want.
It's your choice.
Grey.
I-I want Grey.
Is that all right?
That's perfect.
He'll take you to the station.
Do I get the foot back?
- No.
- Fine.
I still have the other one.
- Hey, what's up?
- Booking's closed.
We got a bus in the garage
to take everyone to county.
Why? What's going on?
There was a shooting.
Things feel, um, really strange.
Time is all over the place.
Tachypsychia.
It's a common response
to a traumatic event.
You'll feel better
after you've slept.
So, what now?
Now you meet with your lawyer,
put together
your written statement.
Union rep is on his way.
He wants to go
over a few things.
Then there's the interview,
conducted by Internal Affairs,
with the lead
homicide detective,
district attorney,
and the independent
police auditor in attendance.
Lot of people.
Just tell the truth to the best
of your ability.
It'll be fine.
End of shift?
No.
They're here to answer
some questions.
About you.
How would you
characterize Officer Nolan?
Officer Nolan
is one of the finest people
I've ever known.
Back at the academy,
when everyone was gunning
for each other,
he'd stay up late
and help you study,
even if that meant
bombing the test himself.
Is he on any medication?
Not that I know of.
I think he has allergies.
Has Officer Nolan
ever talked about
wanting to use force?
Wanting to? No.
Is he going through anything
in his personal life?
I mean, isn't everyone?
Anything traumatic?
Death of a parent?
Breakup?
Interpersonal conflict?
No.
Where's my brother?
Why isn't he here?
Your brother was involved
in a shooting.
Is he in the hospital?
I'm afraid that's all
I can tell you at this time.
Hey, no, no, no. Is he dead?
Is he dead?
Come on.
Bishop.
You okay?
Yeah. How's Nolan?
Hasn't really hit him yet.
Have you ever...
Taken a life? No.
Me either.
Thanks for looking out for him.
You should go home.
And do what?
Watch TV? Order in?
I need to get to work.
I need to focus
on something else.
All right.
In that case,
report to Vestri and Wolfe.
They're working a big case,
and you need
to get your feet wet
if you're going to take
the detective's exam.
Yes, sir.
Captain.
Commander West. Please, come in.
Thank you.
It's good to see you again.
You too.
Anything I should know
as the investigation begins?
Officer Nolan and his T.O.
responded to a 211
at a convenience store.
He pursued an armed robber
into an occupied house.
Fired one shot.
Hopefully it's as
straightforward as it sounds.
Is this the first officer
under your command
to take a life?
Yes.
But you've been
through the process yourself.
You read my file, Commander.
Back when my son
was assigned here.
I understand that he and Nolan
are pretty tight.
Officer Nolan's pretty close
with both of his fellow rookies.
You like him?
I admire what he's trying to do.
Okay.
I'll keep you updated
about the investigation.
Dad.
When I got the call
about your station,
I was worried it was you.
I'm okay.
If it had been me,
I'd handle it.
I know.
You know,
Nolan's a great officer.
I'm sure it's a good shoot.
That's what I'm here
to determine.
You don't know who to call.
Can it wait?
The PIO will be briefing
the press soon.
You don't want your family to
hear about this on the news.
Who can handle a call like this?
Sarah. My ex-wife.
Sarah, it's me.
Hey, I've been meaning to call.
Did you look at Henry's course
load next semester?
Yeah, listen...
I'm worried
he's over-extending himself.
Sarah, I...
It's not the number of credits.
It's the difficulty.
Sarah, you're gonna see some
things on the news.
I want you to know I'm fine.
And tell Henry I'm fine.
John, what's going on?
I killed someone.
What?
On the job.
I killed someone.
Civil liability is covered
up to $2 million
under your plan.
I'm sorry.
I don't...
I'm a little...
Who are you?
Simon Paige, your union rep.
What?
If you don't remember,
say you don't remember.
Under no circumstances
do you express guilt.
But I feel terrible.
Guilt implies
you did something wrong.
Now, they're gonna tell you
your statement
can't be used against you
in a murder trial.
Technically true,
but it can and will be
used against you
in any civil proceeding.
Right.
You were saying,
about a civil trial?
Is that likely?
Quite.
If liability exceeds $2 million,
your wages will be garnished,
pursuant to...
To subdivision F
of California Government Code
Section 3303
or as otherwise required by law.
You're Jackson's dad.
We met at graduation.
Yes, we did.
But right now,
I'm the head
of Internal Affairs,
and you're being interviewed
about a shooting
that happened earlier today.
Right. Yes, sir. Sorry.
Now, do you understand
your rights
as I've described them?
No.
Only civilians have the right
to remain silent.
If you choose not to answer
any of my questions,
you will no longer be a cop.
Understand? I understand.
Let's begin.
Did you have any less-than-lethal
weapons available?
Taser? Pepper spray? Yes.
Did you attempt to use
any of these
less-than-lethal weapons?
No.
Why not?
I'm not sure.
I didn't have time.
You're not sure
or you didn't have time?
I-I didn't have time.
My hand was on my gun.
I couldn't reach for my Taser.
Did you have cover
or concealment?
No.
Did the suspect
discharge his firearm?
No.
How many rounds did you fire?
- One.
- What were you aiming at?
Him, his chest.
Center mass,
like we were trained.
Did you hit
what you were aiming at?
Yes.
Describe what he did
or what you saw
to make you think
you struck the suspect.
There was blood. He fell.
Finally, appreciating
that police work
involves rapidly changing
and dangerous,
fluid environments,
is there anything you would
have done differently?
What are you doing here?
I'm helping out
the detectives today.
You got the Tap?
Yeah.
Congratulations.
I know how much you wanted it.
Look, I know this is weird.
I was at your wedding...
Officer Bishop,
thanks for joining us.
Thanks for having confidence
in me.
You're all caught up
to speed on the case?
Our C.I.'s boyfriend, Carson,
is a low-level dealer.
He gets his drugs
from Marcus Vance.
We've been trying to get eyes
on him for years.
And this is our opportunity.
When is the next time
Carson plans on
meeting with Vance?
Um, tomorrow night
at some motel.
He's gonna buy another kilo.
Can you get him to
take you along?
What? You want me to
wear a wire?
I-I-I thought you wanted
information.
What's the best way
to get information?
I've never gone with him
on a buy before.
I can't just ask
out of the blue.
It'll look suspicious.
So be convincing.
Maybe we should start slower.
Sending her into a buy to make
her certified reliable...
- That's as slow as it gets.
- You don't understand.
Carson's paranoid.
H-He'll know something's up.
Then we'll have to get him to
think it was his idea.
I can't imagine
what Nolan's going through.
Can you?
Yeah.
My second year as a T.O.,
a prisoner transport
went sideways.
My Boot didn't search
the suspect properly,
lost her gun.
The guy would've killed us both
if I hadn't pulled the trigger.
What happened to the Boot?
I don't know.
She wasn't a cop after that.
Is there anything
anyone said or did
that helped you through it?
No.
I just had to make
my peace with it.
Don't leave town.
You must be available
for questioning
within an hour of notification.
And remember, you can talk
to your fellow officers,
but they could be called in
to testify
about anything you say.
So think about whether you want
to drag them into this.
I understand, sir.
Hey. Are you all right?
Yeah.
Feel like I haven't seen you
in years.
Is there anything you need?
Ready to go?
Yeah.
Everybody will do their jobs.
I'm sure it'll be over shortly.
Just go get some sleep.
Thanks.
Nolan.
The rest of them
would have told me
I did the right thing
whether I did or not.
I knew if I asked you,
you'd tell me the truth.
So, why haven't you asked me?
I don't think I'm ready
to hear the answer.
He had a gun on you.
He refused repeated orders
to surrender.
I would've done exactly
what you did.
Get outside. Go, go, go.
Drop the gun! Put it down!
Don't move.
7-Adam 15. Suspect is deceased.
- What should I do?
- You're the suspect.
Is there anything you
would have done differently?
That's Isabel's boyfriend?
Our girl's fallen off a long way
since Bradford.
Come on.
Carson Miller.
I know you?
Nope.
But I know you.
Come on. Let's go.
Hands on the car.
Why? I didn't do anything.
You're on parole, Carson.
We can search you
whenever we want.
Hope you didn't
have plans today.
- Do you have a minute?
- Of course. Come in.
Get the door.
How are you doing?
Good.
No. That's...
That's not true at all.
There was something I was hoping
you could help me with.
Um...
I wanted to see my body-cam
footage of the event,
if that's okay.
You have a right to see it.
But honestly,
I don't think you should.
Look, I've been
where you are now.
It was an alley
instead of a bedroom,
rapist instead of a robber,
but the results were the same.
I understand
that you want answers,
but watching
the body-cam footage,
I don't think you're ready
for how traumatic that can be.
I need to see it.
Okay.
Drop the gun! Put it down!
Get out of the house. Get outside.
Go, go, go.
Drop the gun!
Don't move.
Drop the gun!
He was scared.
Maybe he wasn't
gonna pull the trigger.
Maybe I could have talked him
down another way.
Hey.
That's not what I saw.
You think he was gonna kill me?
I think you did exactly
what we trained you to do
when you saw that your life
was in jeopardy.
Thank you.
One more thing.
The other robber,
Kyle Montgomery,
posted bail this morning.
He gave an interview stating
that you killed his brother
in cold blood.
Now, obviously,
we know that the facts
don't match his version.
John, I want you to know
that the department
has your back, 100%.
Thank you.
Hey, it's me. We got trouble.
What happened?
I got pinched with drugs on me.
A lot?
Enough to keep me
from meeting Vance tonight.
Can you reschedule?
No. You don't reschedule
with a man like that.
God, you're an idiot. Yeah.
Okay, fine. I got it.
Hey, um, is there someone else
you trust to go instead?
You know, maybe... maybe Rusty?
Rusty's an even bigger idiot
than you.
Damn it.
You're gonna have to do it.
No way.
If I don't pay Vance back,
I'm dead.
So you're gonna do this.
Yeah. Fine, okay.
I'll do it.
Good work.
We'll get you out of here once
we take your boyfriend
to the courthouse.
Hey.
Are you sure you're up
for tonight?
No.
But I can't go to prison,
so guess I have to be.
Have you heard from Nolan?
Not since yesterday. You?
No.
I didn't know if I should call.
Maybe he needs us to reach out.
I don't know.
He'll tell us what he needs.
You didn't.
That was different, okay?
I was ashamed.
Maybe he is, too.
The Rooks were asking
how they can help Nolan.
I found heavy drinking really
helped knock out the nightmares.
Maybe keep that to yourself.
Detective Talia graces us
with her presence.
Yeah, it breaks my heart
to see you out of uniform.
You seem... shorter.
I need to talk to you.
Come on, Boot!
How is she? Not good.
I can only imagine
how you've been handling...
I don't need to commiserate.
I need to know what's going on.
If the detectives know
I revealed anything about the
operation... Then don't.
They want Isabel to wear a wire
to a drug deal.
Tonight.
A wire? Why don't they just shoot in
her in the head and be done with it?
Be a hell of a lot quicker.
Excuse us.
You enter my office again
without knocking,
I will put you on admin leave
without pay.
Is that understood?
You can't let them do this,
all right?
She's an ex-cop.
As if being an informant
wasn't enough,
now they want her to buy a kilo
of heroin wearing a wire?
I looked at her file.
She took part in dozens
of drug busts
when she was
a narcotics detective.
This is different.
Explain to me how it is
that you know the details
of their operation.
You don't know her
like I do, okay?
You've read her file.
You know who she was.
I know who she is now.
And the Isabel in that file
is gone.
I'm sorry.
All I can do now is put you
on rescue detail.
If the deal goes south,
you will be
the first in the door.
I'm sorry I barged in.
It won't happen again.
John.
Hey. Hey.
How long have you been
standing here?
People are staring.
Yeah, I get that a lot.
Tell me what's going on.
I can't.
If I talk to you about it,
they could call you to testify.
Then I'll testify
you're one of the best people
I know.
I can't stop thinking about it.
I was so amped up
chasing that guy,
and then he turned,
and then he was dead.
What if I can't
get past this, Luce?
What... How will I ever
do the job again?
Um... You know what?
I'm sorry. I should go.
Hey. No, no, no, no.
Um...
Come with me. Yeah?
Done with the investigation?
For now.
Don't suppose you could
tell me anything.
You know I can't.
Yeah.
Hey. Can I, um,
take you to dinner?
Told your mother I'd take her.
I mean, you both can come.
I don't think she's ready
for that.
Um, see you at church?
Looking forward to it.
What are we doing here?
I can't imagine what you're
going through.
And maybe if I was
in the same place,
I'd think about quitting, too.
But...
they're alive
because you did your job.
You put your own life at risk
to protect them,
and if you're ever
in that position again,
I know you'll do the same thing.
Um... Thank you very much
for the ride
and, the therapy session.
Of course.
Um... Can I make you a drink?
I could, whip you
up a cappuccino.
Really? No.
I don't know
how to work the machine.
I hate it.
I'm a little scared of it.
Maybe next time.
Yeah. No, of course.
I'm sure
you have someplace to be.
Yeah. I should, um...
Um...
We'll be right here.
Anything goes wrong,
we'll be inside in a heartbeat.
We can call this off.
I'm fine.
No, you're not.
This'll help.
Methadone? Thank you.
Hey, um, what...
What happens after tonight?
They won't arrest Vance
immediately.
They'll want to watch him
for a while,
make cases against
the rest of his crew.
His lieutenant, his supplier,
the supplier's supplier.
Yeah.
This is never gonna end, is it?
Stop! What are you doing?
I want to remember this.
Come on. This is our last day
as fun, carefree single people.
Only boredom and drudgery
from here on out.
I'm afraid so. It's in the vows.
There's still time. Great.
Yeah. Go.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Are you kidding?
Hanging out near the airport
is a normal Tuesday night
for me.
You'd be right here
if the situations were reversed.
And I brought fries.
Thanks.
You know, you'd have to be
in an actual relationship
for the situations
to be reversed.
What are you, my mother?
Okay. Here we go.
- Who are you?
- Carson sent me.
- She's nervous.
- She's fine.
She's done
stuff like this before.
Get out of here, junkie.
Hey.
I have the money
that Carson owes Vance.
Does he want it or not?
You Vance?
You got my money?
- Yeah.
- Count it.
The money's all here.
How fast can you move that?
Couple of weeks.
Good.
Tell Carson next time he sends
you to do his work for him,
I'll assume you're in charge
and put him in the ground.
It's done.
Just take the brick and go.
Hey, wait. Um...
we could move more than this.
What the hell is she doing?
Another kilo at least.
Really?
'Cause Carson always said no
to that much weight.
What is she doing?
If he sends for another kilo,
we can follow his guys
to their source.
She wants to end this.
Smart. No, desperate.
Gonna make him suspicious.
Okay.
I'll get you another kilo.
But you'll have to wait.
Sure.
I got no place else to be.
This place got a mini-bar?
We should go in now.
Negative. We wait for the drop.
That was...
A mistake.
A fun,
never-going-to-happen-again
mistake.
Right. Yeah.
Exactly.
Agreed.
I know you from someplace?
I don't think so.
I do. You look really familiar.
I'm an addict,
and you're a dealer,
so I'm sure we've crossed paths.
He's on to her.
He knows she was a cop.
It's a big city.
He could have seen her anywhere.
Or she busted one of his friends
back in the day.
Could be.
Maybe you just have
one of those faces.
Sure.
Yeah. I, get that all the time.
What happened?
We lost signal.
- We lost her.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's probably just a glitch.
Or he's on to her.
We need to go in!
All units, hold position!
He's on to her. I'm going in.
No. It's just a glitch, Tim.
Hold position. All units, hold.
Damn it. Go. Go, go.
Police!
Clear!
They must have gone
out the back.
- You did this!
- Hey, hey!
- You did this!
- Hey!
- You!
- Hey!
- Come here!
