The Rookie (2018–…): Season 4, Episode 13 - Fight or Flight - full transcript

Oh, sorry.
Visitors can't park down here.

I-I know.
I'm not.

My dad sent me down
to his car

to get the coffees
he bought for us.

Oh.
Who's your dad?

- Steve Miller.
- Property Crimes?

Yeah.
T-That's him.

We don't, uh, get to see
each other too often

since the divorce.

Mom got full custody.

So he makes me stop by
the station



for some "father-son"
coffee time before school.

Oh. That's nice.

After you.

Thanks.

♪ Don't care what you say

Four, right?
Huh?

Property Crimes?
Four?

Uh, yeah. Yeah.
Thanks.

Yeah.
Divorce is tough.

I have a son a few years older
than you.

I remember when his mom and I
split up,

I wanted to do everything
I could just to show him

that I would still
be there for him.

You know, still be Dad.



I'm sure your father's just
trying to do the same for you.

Yeah.

And this is my stop.

Nice to meet you.

Uh, you, too.

Oh.

Just wanted to say
thank you for the pep talk.

I -- I needed it.

No problem.

♪

We need to figure out
how he got access to the roof.

Okay.

Hey.
What's happening?

Someone stole
a police helicopter.

- What?
Nolan.

Sir, I just heard about
the airship.

- Do you know
who took it?
- No.

But you do.

♪ Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
whoa, oh, oh ♪

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

Airship Three,
I repeat, do you copy?

Sir, in Nolan's defense,
a teenager stealing

a police helicopter --
it's highly unexpected behavior.

We're cops.

"Highly unexpected"
is what we do before breakfast.

Hey, kid,
I know you can hear me.

See, right now I have the FBI,
Homeland Security,

and the DOD
blowing up my phone,

and they're all saying
the same thing --

we should launch fighter jets
and blow you out of the sky.

Now, do you copy?

This is Airship Three.
Please identify yourself.

Sergeant Wade Grey, LAPD.

'Sup, Wade?
Listen, I know

they're not gonna blow me
out of the sky

while I'm over
a populated area,

so tell them to just save
the jet fuel, okay?

This is a joy ride,
not DEFCON 1.

I'm just gonna have
a little fun.

I'll return your helicopter
good as new.

Listen here, boy, I --If I may.

Hey. This is John Nolan,
from the elevator.

Hey! Yeah, yeah.
The divorced dad.

Look, you are super good
at bonding, by the way.

I mean, I-I really felt
the emotional connection.

Yes. Thank you.

Listen, we know Steve Miller's
not really your father,

so why don't you tell us
who you really are

and what you want?

Who I really am
is the hero of my own story.

And what I want is to
complete the hero's journey.

Whoa!

What is it?
What happened?

I just saw a cyclist almost get
demolished by a vehicle.

I mean, this city really needs
to add more bike lanes.

But, hey, look, this has been
fun, but I gotta go

because flying a real
helicopter is a lot harder

than the video-game simulation
made it seem.

So, we'll talk soon, okay?

No, no, wait,
wait, wait.

Hero?

Okay, uh,
do we believe him?

I mean, he seemed like
a sweet kid on the elevator.

He's not talking like
he's planning on

doing anything violent.

And he's right.
They won't shoot him down

unless he poses
an imminent threat.

So, how do we get him down
with no casualties?

We got four hours
to figure that out.

That's how much fuel
he's got left.

Nolan, get out there and
shadow him the best you can.

Can I take Lucy with me?
She'll help me get in his head.

Okay. Good idea.

And, Nolan, get him to land
before gravity does it for him.

Yes, sir.

♪

Hey. You ready to roll?

Oh. Actually, Grey assigned me
to ride with Nolan

to trail helicopter kid.

Alright. Let me know
if you need anything.

Mm-hmm.

Hey. Guess who's sitting
in a holding cell right now?

Yeah.
I don't do guessing games.

Your old friend,
Dez Robinson.

What'd he do?
Cabot and Lodge
pulled him over

for a traffic violation.

They found a diamond bracelet
in his car that was taken

during a home invasion
that left a family dead.

That triple murder
in Larchmont Village?

Yeah. I'm about to go
question him. You want in?

Bet your ass I do.

I'm surprised you've stayed out
of prison for this long,

given that you're dumb enough
to drive around

with stolen property
when you're still on probation.

The bracelet was stolen?
I had no idea.

I-I bought it
from a pawnshop

to give to my mother
for her -- her birthday.

Yeah, which pawnshop?
Man,
I don't remember that.

I went to like nine of them
you know,

looking for
the perfect gift.

- I love my mom.
- Do you have the receipt?

No.
I don't believe in them.

Thing is, Dez, that bracelet
wasn't just stolen.

It was taken from
a home invasion two nights ago,

where three people
were killed.

And we believe the same crew
is responsible

for two other home invasion
murders.

Oh, wow.
You guys really
don't like

to leave any witnesses,
do you?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Really. I-I was at work
two nights ago.

Just check with my boss.

Oh, I will.

Look, Dez...

you and I --
we go way back, right?

The joy of recidivism.

And while you've never been
afraid of a little violence,

you're not a killer.

So I don't think you'd shoot
that family in cold blood.

No. I think you hooked up
with this crew

not knowing they were killers,
and now you're tied to them.

If you tell us who they are,
we can make a deal.

If not, we hang the murders
around your neck

with the rest of your crew,
and you'll die in prison.

All we need is a name.

♪

Adrienne Mount.

Adrienne Mount
committed the murders?

No.
She's my lawyer.

I'd like to
talk to her, please.

Are you wearing makeup?

What?
No.

Okay, yeah.

Um... I thought that
I got that off.

Hmm.
Yeah. We had
a late-night shoot

at Club Avalon
for my reality show pilot.

How exactly does partying
at a nightclub

reset the world's image
of you?

Well, no.
We were, like, you know,

shooting the reenactments
of, like,

what my life was like
before the murder.

Which, actually,
was pretty cool.

Listen, Hollywood,

I will put up with
this reality show

as long as it helps
to clear your name.

But if it starts to affect
your performance --

It won't, okay?
I swear.

And, look, I couldn't be
any less "Hollywood."

Mr. Thorsen.
Good morning, sir.

I got you
your breakfast.

Who are you?

Kenton Scott,
Mr. Thorsen's assistant.

Uh, no.

I mean, yes, but he's only
supposed to be assisting me

when I'm working on
the show.

And right now,
I'm at my real job.

And I'm still
on probation,

so I need you to go now,
okay?

No.

W-What do you mean, no?
You work for me.

Uh, technically,
I work for your mother.

And she...scares the hell
outta me.

I-In the best way.
She's amazing. I love her.

But if I make a mistake, she'll
catapult me into the sun,

so I'm here for you
24/7.

So should I ride with you,
or just follow in my car?

Probably my car,
so I can run errands if you --

Kenton, Kenton, Kenton,
take a breath.

Okay? Uh, assistants
get lunch, right?

Yes. Absolutely.

Okay. I'm having
this wild pregnancy craving

for some, uh,
bulgogi tacos.

Great, I'm sure I can find that
around here --

Yeah. But not just
any bulgogi tacos.

They have to be from
Apollo Yang's food truck,

which is parked at
a different location every day.

And the only way
to obtain that location

is to text
a secret password

to a specific short code,
which... I don't have.

♪

On it.

Yeah.
That'll keep him busy.

I'm so sorry. That --
That won't happen again.

I'mma talk to my mom
about that, okay?

Mm-hmm.

You alright?
Yeah. I think so.

I just got uncomfortable
all of a sudden.

It's the baby?
I don't know.

Um, maybe we should,
um, stop by my OB's office

at the hospital,
just to make sure.

Okay.

Alright.

♪

Oh. They ID'd 'copter kid.

Leo Thomas, age 17.

No priors.

Grey's reaching out
to the family.

Clearly,
there's trouble there.

Well-adjusted kids don't steal
police helicopters.

I mean, it could
be classic

teenage attention-seeking
behavior.

You know, trying to stand out,
establish their identity.

The whole thing's gotten
exponentially worse

since social media.

Dying your hair is classic
attention seeking.

Stealing a police helicopter
is extremely dangerous.

Teenagers don't have
fully formed brains.

They don't perceive risk
in the same ways that we do.

You remember that age.

I remember working
two part-time jobs

- to save up for college.
- You never acted out?

Not in
any substantial way.

Well --

You know, I don't know why
I'm surprised.

Oh, like you were
such a rebel.

I'm --
You have no idea.

- Hello?
- How's Harper doing?

Still waiting to hear,
sir,

but the doctor
didn't seem worried.

Good.
Keep me updated.

In the meantime, I have
an assignment for you.

Yes, sir.

A riot broke out at
Men's Correctional this morning.

There were dozens injured and
one prisoner airlifted to Shaw

for emergency surgery --
Langston Bryant.

So I need you to relieve
the sheriff's deputy

that accompanied him.

And, Thorsen --
Sir?

Langston's 18 years into
a life sentence

for killing a cop

for a routine
traffic stop.

He did it once, he could
certainly do it again.

Watch yourself.

Yes, sir.

Nurse Howard to 2 West, please.

Hey, I'm here
to relieve you.

Great. I gotta get back
to the prison.

Damn, man,
are you okay?

Not even close.

The prisoner in there --
he's as dangerous as they come,

so be smart.

Yes, sir.
I've been briefed.

♪

Good morning, Los Angeles!

This is Airship Three coming to
you live and in the sky.

Looks like there's gonna be
traffic on...

all of the roads.

And I'm actually taking a poll

about where I should go
patrol next.

Um, you know, I-I could take
a trip over to Santa Monica,

maybe see what'll be underwater
when all the glaciers melt.

Hey, there, Leo.
Divorced Dad here.

- How's it going up there?
- Me? Can't complain.

You know where the bathroom is
in this thing?

Listen, Leo -- what you are
doing is really dangerous.

Your family is worried sick
about you.

Yeah,
that's not gonna work

and I'm disappointed
you thought it would.

So, see ya.

Look. Wait. Hang on.
Hang on. Hang on. Just --

Did you really learn to fly
from video games?

And a few
ClipTalk tutorials.

Ugh.
Wow. That's --

Hats off, man. Wow.
I mean, I --

I love me some video games,
but that's --

You know, uh,
"Breath of the Wild"

consumed my life
for about four months.

I beat Ganon -- twice. Impressive.

I-I bet you're feeling a little
bit like Link and his glider,

flying around up there,
don't you?

A little, yeah.

But even Link couldn't fly
forever, right?

He had to land sometime,
save Zelda, right?

That's right.
The hero always has a purpose.

Great. We're gonna find you
a nice, open place to land.

And he can also use help
from his allies.

Are you an ally,
Mr. Nolan?

Yes, I am.

Great.
So here's the deal.

In order to help me complete
my hero's journey...

I need you to complete
three quests.

If you succeed,
I'll give myself up.

This is not
a video game, Leo.

No.
It's something deeper.

Games, fantasy novels,
they're all built on

the same architecture --
the hero's journey.

A universal story
so central to our identities,

it's as if it's written
in our DNA.

He's been reading
Joseph Campbell.
Ah.

You're the mentor --
an older, wiser figure

like an Obi-Wan
or a Dumbledore.

They usually die towards
the end...

...to signify the hero's true
coming into himself.

Who knows?
Maybe you'll pull through.

Leo, this isn't a myth.

This is real life,
and you are in real danger.

I can't play along with
this quest nonsense.

Why not?

Why not slay dragons
for a kid

I think is
increasingly delusional?

Look, often the best way --
the only way

to deal with people
who are in a crisis situation

is to accept
their reality.

I mean, it's either this
or we drive around all day,

looking up.

Alright.
What are the quests?

I'm not gonna give you
all of them up front.

It doesn't work that way.

What do we have
to lose?

Lives?
A helicopter?

Fine. What is
the first quest?

♪

This is a quest
based in tragedy.

A bunch of kids from my school,

they started hanging out
at this abandoned house.

They party, make a mess --

just the typical rebellion
of youth.

And some hardcore guys saw
a market and they moved in.

They started selling
some hardcore drugs,

and a raven-haired girl

You killed a cop.

- Is he okay?
- For now.

We're just trying to make sure
he doesn't hurt himself,

So he hasn't
contacted you?

No. He wasn't there this morning
when I got home.

I work graveyard.

I called and texted,
but he never responded.

Is that typical

Suddenly now,

Brian --No, I'm sorry.

I try to do right
by that kid.

We both do,
but he makes it impossible.

He barely talks to us.

He spends all of his time
reading these fantasy books,

playing video games.

Did manage to get himself
kicked out of school.

Leo's not in school?

I teach him at home.

uh, with my hours.

I'm always tired.

I can't lose him.

And then after my conviction,
I found out

that there were
two eyewitnesses,

both who said the killer
was a short bald guy

who looked
nothing like me.

Okay. So, where was your lawyer
on all this?

Drunk off his ass.

Court appointed,
and he couldn't give a damn.

Now you see
what I'm saying?

Look, you need to file
for a retrial.

I mean,
that's what I did.

I don't have
your kind of money, my brother,

and I can't get a lawyer
to take me on pro bono.

From time to time.
Yeah.

Okay. He said he worked
two nights ago.

Yeah,
sounds about right.

We had a construction job
down in Hawthorne.

Picked up the night shift
for a few extra bucks.

Any chance he checked
in and then maybe ducked
out for a few hours?

Nah, I was there.
I would've seen that.

You sure?

Because, uh, Dez is suspected
in a triple murder

that happened that night,
so anyone who helps him

would be considered
an accessory.

Hey. Hold on.

I had no idea about that.

I want no parts of that,
alright?

I thought he was just out here
cheating on his girlfriend.

I didn't know he was out here
killing people.

Does that mean you want to
amend your statement?

Hell yeah.
I'm gonna amend my statement.

Dez paid me 500 bucks
to clock him in

on the nights
that he needed an alibi.

Okay. So, to be clear,
Dez did not show up to work

- two nights ago?
- Right.

Oh, and...
he paid me yesterday

Hey. Dez's alibi

Nice work.

If you burp funny,
I wanna know.

He called you here,
didn't he?

And it wasn't about me.

Yes, ma'am. I, um --
I called them about Langston.

Are you trying to get everyone
in the LAPD to hate you?

Because that is
what is gonna happen

if you advocate
for a convicted cop killer.

I told you to drop this.

All due respect, if there is
even a sliver of a chance

that he is innocent,
it needs to be investigated.

Yeah, look.
That hardcore dude in there

is unrecognizable from the guy
that went in 18 years ago.

He's been institutionalized.
I've seen it a thousand times.

A nice haircut and a cute smile
does not mean he is innocent.

Yeah, and a conviction doesn't
mean that he's guilty, either.

I mean, I'm proof of that.

If I'd have stayed
in prison,

that's how
I would've ended up.

And now that I have
a platform

to help people
who are wrongfully accused,

I mean, I have to use it.

"rebrand" yourself.

To -- To reclaim

talk to him,

just see what kind of
impression we get.

Just to see
if there's any merit.

Okay.

Still waiting on
that third quest, Leo.

Unless you want to just skip it
and land?

You still up there, Leo?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm here,
just enjoying the view.

a little digging

after our last conversation.

Turns out Murray,
the guy with the alligator,

one of his known associates
is Brian Johst,

your mom's boyfriend.

I'm guessing they have
a little

distribution racket
running?

Yeah, and we'd bet money

that one of the dealers
they sell to

is the guy we arrested
in Quest One.

That's quite an epic tale.

Let's cut out this fantasy crap,
shall we, Leo?

We know you didn't send us
to that house

to avenge a classmate.
There is no classmate.

But I think there is a princess
you need us to save.

Your mom -- she has
a history of drug abuse,

but it seems like
she'd been clean for a while?

She relapsed
after my dad died.

Then she rallied,
got herself clean.

It was good,
like before.

Then she met Brian.

You have to get her
away from him.

He's killing her.

That's your third quest.
Leo out.

We have no evidence
tying Brian to the fentanyl.

We can't arrest him.

And Leo's got 40 minutes
before he runs out of fuel.

Yeah.

Tell me
you found something.

Some old gloves, possible
burglary tools, impact weapons.

Nothing that's gonna help us.
What's going on?

Dez is about to walk out of here
with his lawyer.

Right now,
all I can charge him with

is possession
of stolen property.

Can you stall them?20 minutes.

Webb: Sorry, Sarge.

We've turned this place
upside down.

These tools here
are all we could find.

- 'Cause you're only human.
- Excuse me?

L-100, I need 8706
at my location, Code 3.

Dispatch: Copy that. 8706?

Uh, why the hell
do we need him here?

You'll see.

Okay, taking your statement
into consideration...

And the few online articles that
we read about your case --

Come on, just -- you can just
tell me straight.

- Can you get me outta here?
- Way too early to tell.

But what I've read has
definitely triggered

some alarms.

I mean, it's clear
there were several

investigative discrepancies,
and clearly,

you were not given
adequate counsel.

- So what do I do?
Let me make some calls.

There are a few lawyers I would
trust to take your case.

- Pro bono?
- Pro bono.

That's great.

But there are
no guarantees here, okay?

There's no promises,
just a little hope.

That's all I can handle.

This will be the hardest fight
of your life.

I'm ready.

I appreciate you both.

Why?

Sheriff's Department combed
through security footage

from the prison riot.

Your innocent man here
stomped a guard.

Is he okay?
No.

He is paralyzed
from the waist down.

They are charging Langston

with attempted murder
of a peace officer.

That's a 20-to-life
sentence.

Which is why a retrial
is pointless.

He's not getting out
of prison.

Yo, this system is a joke.

I mean, if Langston wasn't
wrongfully convicted

in the first place,
he wouldn't have spent

half his life stuck in prison,
wouldn't have been caught up

in that riot, thinking
the only way to survive
was to stomp a guard.

I was terrified.

I would have to admit

Langston's case.

Why? I thought we agreed

He -- He paralyzed a guard.

Right. And he should
be punished for that.

But he may not have killed
that cop 18 years ago,

and we owe it to that officer's
family to find the truth.

Because if Langston's innocent,
then that means

there's someone out there
