The Rookie (2018–…): Season 3, Episode 11 - New Blood - full transcript
Two new Boots start at the mid-Wilshire station - Lucy gets jealous of how her FTO Tim treats his new charge. John's professor comes to the Sergeant with an annoying issue that goes from minor to terrifying overnight.
♪♪
There they are.
Ooh.
Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
They got no idea
what's coming for them.
Please tell me we did not
look that nervous
our first day
as rookies.
Alright. Let's go give them
a warm Mid-Wilshire welcome.
Hey.
New recruits?
Welcome, guys.
My name is --
John Nolan.
Yeah. Hi.
Wow.
It is such a pleasure
to meet you.Wow.
You were my inspiration for
coming into the department.
And when I think about
six months ago,
I-I was data auditing
the AP matrix
in the IT department.
Well, thank you for
saying that.
We're very happy
to have you.
Uh, I'm Lucy,
and this is Jackson.
Hey.
Welcome to Mid-Wilshire.
Hey.
Are you rookies, too?
Not anymore.We're --
W-Well,
we'reactually P2s.
While I selflessly
held myself back
so that you guys could
get your bearings.
Come on.
Do you know
who your T.O. is yet?
I think his name
is Bradford.
Oh, he was my T.O.
He's great.
You will learn so much.
But?
He can be intense.
But don't worry.
If you find yourself
in a self-doubt spiral,
I'm always around.
Thank you.
Nolan: Rookies
sit in front row.
This way.
Right here?
Yeah. Plant her.
Thank you.
You betcha.
Sorry about that.
How much did you
have to bribe Grey
to not give you
Bizarro World Nolan?
As a training officer
in the LAPD,
it is my duty to train
any and all recruits
assigned to me.
Alright.
Settle in.
We got
some new blood today.
Stand up
so everyone can see you.

You earned the right
to be in this room,
but you have to prove
yourselves to stay.
The way we do things
matters.
Tradition and protocol
are the metal
from which every cop
in this city is forged.
That being said,
it's my pleasure
to welcome you
to the FTO program.
State your name
and badge numbers.
Barnes, Katie.
Badge number 44313.
Uh, hi.
I'm Larry Macer.

Nolan: Washing out at roll call
on your first day?
That has gotta be
a record.
I heard about a recruit who
ran over his captain
driving into
the parking lot.
But I'm sure
it's an urban myth.
Watch your head.
Henry: Dad!
Henry! I had no i--
This is amazing.
This is --
This -- This is awesome.
Hey, buddy! I didn't know
I was gonna see you today.
Oh, that's why we're here.
We just wanted to say hello.
Oh, that's great.
Uh, you remember my son, Henry,
his lovely fiancée,
Abigail.
Hi.
It's good to see you.
You guys just flew in
this morning?
We drove, actually.
From my mom's new place
in Arizona.
We helped her
get moved in.
Yeah, the road trip was
a little us time
before Henry starts
the new job.
Oh, that's right.
Congratulations.
What exactly will you
be doing again?
Uh, Henry is
the new youth liaison
for, uh,
Ben's new nonprofit,
uh, clean water
foundation.
You don't know
what that means, do you?
Not really, no.
I'll be traveling
the world,
connecting with
youth activists
to build partnerships
between the nonprofit
and the communities
they serve. That --
Andpromoting it all
on social media.
That's why Ben needed to hire
somebody young and hip.
Nolan: That's right.Yeah.
So when am I gonna
see you guys tonight?
You won't.
We're staying in Malibu.
Oh.
Henry has an early session
tomorrow,
so the company got us
a hotel room.
I totally get it.
L.A. traffic, all that.
Don't worry.
Text me
if anything changes.
Will do.
Have a safe shift.
You bet.
Have a great first day training.
Thank you.Bye, guys.
Later, guys.
Bye.
Knock 'em dead.
Oh, it's killing him
to be so supportive.
It's killing me
to be so supportive.
Think he can tell?
Not at all.
I will. I will.
Bye.
That was my mother.
Is she still
mad about the cake?
Patrice doesn't do mad,
she does disappointed.
I had told her
that we were
having a hard time
finding a venue,
so she called
her country club.
That club where that asshat
asked me for a clean fork?
That's the one.
And they had an opening,
so she booked it.
Without asking us?
Why would she?
It's only our wedding.
I'm not getting married
at that country club.
Agreed.
So, which one of us
is gonna tell her?
Um...
Together: Tim.
Hey. You got a minute?
Professor Ryan.
Come in.
Isn't our sit-down scheduled
for next week?
This is about
something different.
What's going on?
For over a week now,
somebody has been
leaving notes on my car.
At home, at work,
the market, dry cleaners.
Now, the notes are creepy,
but they are not
threatening,
which is smart,
because --
Because without
credible threats,
there's no crime.
Exactly.
It's just enough
to send a message --
"I'm watching you."
But this morning,
I found my car window smashed,
and, uh,
this was inside.
Whoever is behind this,
he or she is escalating.
Is there
anyone you can think of
that could do
something like this?
I'm one of the faces
behind a loud
criminal justice
reform movement.
I'm all over social media,
cable news.
And a lot of people do not like
what I have to say.
Does anyone know what you drive,
where you live?
No, no.
I've worked very hard
to make sure
that that is not
public information.
What's your schedule
today?
Uh, well,
I have yoga at 11:00,
and then, uh...
teaching tonight.
Let's get a report
written up,
and I will assign
Nolan and Harper
to patrol the areas
you'll be in today.
Thank you, Sergeant.
After you.
Tim: This is a shop.
It's not a cop car, squad car,
or black-and-white.
It's a shop.
It's where you work.
First, we examine
the exterior for damage.
Any nicks, scratches,
dents, or dings,
you write 'em up.
Got it?

Sir, if it's all right

That extra half-second
counts.
There's only three reasons

Don't destroy anything unless
it needs to be destroyed.

It'll be an adjustment,
but you're gonna be fine.
Wanna get a coffee?
Stop.
It's not a big deal.
Yes, it is.
You're turning 18.
You're finally getting
your own place.
Come on.
This is exciting.
Yeah,
my first solo apartment,
you could literally
reach the stove
without getting
out of bed.
In my first place,
I eventually stopped
fighting with
the cockroaches,
and I just treated them
as pets.
But I'm sure yours will be
much nicer than that.
I lived under a bridge.
Bugs don't bother me.

Where are we, Boot?"
Man, she's gonna be
wearing that coffee

Are you smiling?
I'm sorry, all you did
for the last year was
complain about
how Tim treats you,

the same thing to her?
That's a little
messed up.

Hey.
What are you doing
in my neck of the woods?
James!
Harper: Uh, just a little covert
undercover police work.
Ohhh, staking out
the yoga studio, huh?
Always had a bad feeling
about that place.
No one should be that happy
after exercise.
How's the Community Center
going?
Swimming upstream every day.
I'm trying to get this
self-defense class going,
but I just lost
my instructor.
Well, Detective Harper
is an expert
at hand-to-hand combat,
and a phenomenal teacher.
Really?
Ah, but I-I'm -- I'm sure
you have plans tonight.
Uh, I-I could probably swing by

♪♪
What are you doing?
Uh, just taking
some pictures.
I'm on public property.
Harper:
Pictures of what?
Birds.
Fiona:
What's going on?
Nolan: This gentleman was
taking photos of you.
Is that true?
Wait a minute.
I know you.
You were in one
of my classes.
Your Torts class,
two years ago.
I-I sat
in the front row.
I came to all
your office hours.
So you just happened to be
photographing birds
in front of
her yoga class?
Wild, right?
It feels like fate.
Nolan: No,
it feels like stalking.
Did you break into
Professor Ryan's car
this morning?
No.
Give me your camera.
Don't.Don't.
Why?
It's an unreasonable
search.
Uh, no.
This is evidence
that can be easily deleted.
So we have the right
to examine it.
I disagree.
You need a warrant.
He has rights.
Thank you, Fiona.
Well, don't take it
personally.
The law is the law.Alright, fine.
We will get a warrant.
But we have the right
to detain him
while we are
waiting for it.
So I'm gonna do that.
Put your camera in your bag
and your hands behind your back.
So, he's been
stalking you?
Somebody has.
Nolan: Oh, sorry.
James, this is Fiona --
Ryan.
Yeah, I know.
I follow you
on social media.
Yes,
I follow you, too.
You're doing some
really important work
in this neighborhood.
Thank you.
Hey, if you ever need
a civil rights litigator,
please give me a call.
Wow. I hope you mean that,
because I will.
Anytime.
Tell Nyla I'll text her
the details for tonight.
Will do.
You're all right following us
to the station?
Yeah.
And...
you're okay, right?
Of course.
Okay.
Katie: I heard you were
a real hard-ass.
Random tests,
getting into people's heads.
Why not with me?
Or is this part of it?
You're messing with me
right now, aren't you?
Well, yes and no.
Okay, then.
How am I doing?
Fine so far.
You'll have some challenges,
but you'll push through 'em.
What kinds
of challenges?
People with strong
military backgrounds
can struggle with
the transition to being a cop.
That won't be me.
I've been on combat patrol,
doing exactly this.
Wrong.
There are three major
differences between
police and military,
and if you want to be a cop
instead of a soldier,
you'll have to conquer
all of them.
Tell me.
One, cops are expected
to be proactive.
You don't wait
for orders.
Two, you are no longer bound
by military objectives.
The actions you take are
up to your discretion.
And, three, the people
we come up against on the street
aren't enemy combatants.
They're our
fellow citizens.

Tim put his hand
on her shoulder.
Man, I saved his life
on my first day.
I didn't even get
a fist bump.
So, it seems Andy Becker
got fixated on you
when you gave him an F
in your class.
He thought it was
to get his attention.
Everything since
has been the long game
to get you to fall in love
with him.
I know.
Did you find any evidence that
he broke into my car?
No. He didn't take
any pictures of that.Oh.
So he's a creep,
but there's no evidence
that he actually
committed any crimes?
Right.
You think that I'm an idiot
for keeping you
from doing that search without
the warrant.
No.
Y-You've dedicated
your life
to protecting
civil liberties.
If anything,
I-I respect you more
for sticking to it
when it's this personal.
Now, I did put an emergency
restraining order on him.
Hopefully,
he'll get the message.
Thank you.
See you in class?I'll be there.
What are we doing
here?
You'll see.
You were right.
About earlier.
That was different
than the Army.
One second,
a guy's trying to kill us.
The next,
we're saving his life.
You're still in
the headspace where
everyone is either a friendly
or an enemy combatant.
It's my job to help you change
that mind-set.
These people are all
your neighbors.
Now, some are neighbors
with problems
who do stupid things,
crazy things, selfish things,
but they're just
people.
I want you
to take a look around.
What do you see?
Ah.
Finally getting a Tim Test?
We passed six people
on our way in.
Four males,
two females.
There's one ingress
and egress road.
The hillside to our back
gives us a tactical advantage.
That's well-spotted.
But I want you to be
in the present,
not thinking about
potential threats.
What do you see here?
Katie: Uh...
A ladybug.
It's...very cute, sir.
No.
It's adorable.
You see the tiny spots?
Focus on them.
Focus on them.

a deep breath.
Feel the sun.
Go ahead.
Close your eyes.
I'll cover you.
♪♪
Thisis your present.
You made it home.
Life is good.
You're safe.
When you're in country,
everything's hostile.
You never turn it off,
you only turn it down.
Cops who are fearful,
they use officer safety
as a way of treating everyone
like the enemy.
But they're not.
In fact, you're doing the job
wrong if you are.
I don't know how to live
like that anymore.
You'll remember.
Just give it time.
Be in the moment.
That's it?
It's harder
than you think.
At least
it was for me.

leave the war behind.

Well, my gut tells me
it's your stalker, Andy.

how this sounds,
how about I just
follow you home,
just to make sure
it's safe?

trying to get
a group of
Black activists
out of their house,
and when they couldn't
get them out,
they fired 10,000 rounds
of ammunition
into a house
with children in it.
Then they dropped a bomb
on the roof --
killed 11 people,
including 5 kids.
I remember there was
a-a huge fire.
Did your grandmother's
house burn?
Mm. Yeah.
Along with 60 others.
