Breakup? Interpersonal conflict?
No.
What if I can't get past this, Luce?
How will I ever do the job again?
SGT. GREY: Your wife made a deal
to be a confidential informant.
- What?
- You want me to wear a wire?
TIM: He's on to her.
He knows she was a cop.

Nothing you could've done to stop it.
I could've blown the operation
early before she went in.
And then you would've gotten
yourself fired.
Torturing yourself
isn't gonna help us find her.
She's dead, Angela.
Vance killed her the second they
got free of our surveillance.
- You don't know that.
- Yes, I do.
Just like I always knew
I'd end up looking for her body.

This is Officer John Nolan.
I was just attacked in my home.
The suspect is in custody.
He's, uh, unconscious but breathing.
Requires an ambulance.
5439 Chautauqua.
Thank you.
This is bad.
But he attacked me.
Yeah, and in five minutes,
this place
is gonna be flooded with cops
who will instantly know
that you and I slept together.
Well, who's to say this
wasn't just a friendly hangout?
At 1:00 in the morning?
I didn't tell investigators about us
when they interviewed me
after your shooting,
and they asked me point-blank
about your relationships.
That's a lie they could fire me for.
Okay, then just go.
Go before they get here.
He knows someone was here.
NOLAN: Look, look.
He has just suffered
a fairly serious head injury.
Odds are he's not
gonna remember anything,
and even if he does,
he didn't see you, okay?
It's a harmless lie, Lucy.
It doesn't change anything
about what happened here.
Just go.

You sure you don't need
to go to the hospital?
No, I'm fine.
Good thing
you got that gun away from him.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Officer Nolan.
I did not expect
to see you again so soon.
Me neither, sir.
Well, can you brief me while
it's still fresh in your head?
Yeah, of course.
Uh, I couldn't sleep,
went to the kitchen for a bite to eat.
I noticed the sliding door was open.
I went to investigate.
That's when he hit me with the bat.
Why didn't he just shoot you?
I think he had something
he needed to get off his chest.
He was clearly feeling guilty
about what happened with his brother.
He said that?
No, not exactly,
but that's what he meant.
How did you overpower him?
I knocked him off balance
when he fired the gun.
The bullet hit the floor over there.
And we fought, and
I threw him through the glass.
And who lives in the big house?
My friend Ben.
Uh, we were college roommates.
He's away traveling.
So you, uh... You were home alone?
Yes, sir.
I was alone.
♪ ♪
So what are you doing here?
Why aren't you at the hospital?
Because I can't do brain surgery.
But I can catch the guy who
put that bullet in her head.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Compared to her.
If she survives surgery,
doctor says she might have a chance.
She strikes me as a fighter.
Yeah.
She's definitely that.
Tim...
Wolfe and Vestri were
doing their jobs with Isabel.
Making what happened personal
is not gonna get you what you want.
You understand?

Yeah.
♪ ♪
You know what Vance did
to your girlfriend?
Who?
You sent Isabel Bradford out to
make a buy for you last night,
and Marcus Vance shot her in the head.
Ouch.
- Listen!
- Hey, hey!
Carson, today is
not the day to screw around.
Where can we find Vance?
No way.
I tell you that, they'll put
a bullet in my head, too.
Son, you don't have a play here.
If you don't give him up,
every cop in this building
will make sure word gets back to Vance
that you ratted him out.

[KNOCKING]
CAPT. ANDERSEN: Officer Nolan, come in.
- Is everything okay?
- Have a seat.
You've officially been cleared
in the Alex Montgomery shooting.
It was deemed a justifiable homicide.
[SIGHS]
That's a relief. Thank you.
I thought you were calling me
in here for bad news.
Well, there's more.
A new investigation has been opened
into your altercation last night.
Kyle attacked me.
- What is there to investigate?
- It's pro forma.
Shouldn't take, uh, but a day or two.
As long as you've been truthful,
there shouldn't be an issue.
You'll be restricted to the station
while we get this straightened out.
But I'm sure
you could enjoy a day of quiet
after everything you've been through.
Just go ahead and check in
with Officer Yamada
at the front desk.
Thank you.
♪ ♪
What happened?
They put me on desk duty
until they investigate.
- What if they find out the truth?
- They won't.
Don't worry. It'll be fine.
Uh, are we okay?
Yeah, why?
Oh. Right.
Look, hooking up was
a heat-of-the-moment thing.
We just need to make sure
that we don't do it again.
Yeah.
What's going on in roll call?
Oh. Wolfe and Vestri got
a couple possible locations
on the dealer that shot Tim's wife,
so we're getting ready
to hunt the guy down.
Be careful.
Yeah. You too.
So, according to Carson,
Vance is most likely located
at a warehouse facility
in South Gate at this address.
All right, Detectives Wolfe and Vestri
will stake it out with
patrol units from that division,
while you guys will head over
to Bronson Estates,
where Carson says Vance's
girlfriend, Cesiah Olivo, lives.
DETECTIVE WOLFE: But Carson doesn't
know which apartment she lives in,
so we'll have to do
some knocking on doors.
All right, listen up.
This has the potential of being
a very dangerous operation.
Vance is a heavy hitter.
He has a well-armed crew.
So he won't go down easy.
All right, watch each other's
backs out there,
and be careful.
Hey, I'm so sorry about Isabel.
Yeah. Thanks.
Go kit up our shop.
Ask Mike for the Bradford Special.
What is that?
You'll see.

Fill out one of these.
Officer Yamada? Uh, John Nolan.
I've been assigned to
your watch for the time being.
Didn't think they made rookies my age.
Yeah, well, with age
comes wisdom, right?
My wisdom's about to retire.
In two weeks, I'll be drinking mojitos
on my houseboat in Havasu.
Sounds very nice.
So, what do we do here...
just help people
who walk in off the street?
Well, this may look like reception,
but we're really the front lines.
We get all sorts of people
coming in here,
with all kinds of complaints.
So, what do we do?
You fill out one of these.
Stamp it right here, in

Dad, hey.
Heard you were tasked
to the shooting of that C.I.
Yes, sir.
You here to tell me to be careful?
Well, that goes without saying.
No, I want to ask you
about your friend Nolan.
Why? I heard he was cleared
on the shooting.
He was. It's just, uh,
most officers never face
a fatal shooting
or a violent home invasion.
Nolan's had both in a 48-hour span.
Look, if you're concerned
about his head space,
don't be.
Okay, he was the guy at the Academy
talking everyone else off the ledge.
He's just hit some bad luck.
Hmm.
You don't think so?
Yeah, let's...
let's just say something
feels a little off.
Be careful out there.
FLAWLESS: Are you deaf?

Soon-to-be ex-husband.
We have our custody exchange
scheduled for now,
and he's late, as usual.
Scheduled for here at the station?
Yes. Here.
Court ordered. W-What are you, new?
Actually, yeah, I am.
You seem kind of old to be new.
Uh, thank you?
Look, Wendell's father
and I hate each other
with the passion
of a thousand burning suns.
So the judge thought the police station
would be the best place
for us to make our switch.
- Makes sense.
- Only I am going to get fired
if I'm late for work again.
So can I leave him with you?
Oh.
Um... yeah, of course.
- Just make sure he has your number.
- Thank you.
Wendell, I've got to go.

You know why they call
this place the Bronson Estates?
'Cause a guy named Bronson built it?
No. Back when you were in short pants,
there was a movie called "Death Wish."

to your house
in order to kill him.
That's ridiculous. Why would I do that?
That's what I thought.
But I have to ask...
You didn't do that, right?
No.
Great.
Good.
Oh. You know, he also said
one other thing.
He insists there was
someone else at your house.
Says he heard a voice
before you knocked him out.
You said you were alone, right?
Yeah.
