The Rookie (2018–…): Season 5, Episode 22 - Under Siege - full transcript

After one of their own is shot, the team suffers a series of close calls and realizes their division may be a target for a group of masked assailants.

- I'm just saying,

I never would've thought
to cast that spell.

- Well, what can I say?
I'm a natural-born warlock.

And look, if you tell
anybody I said that,

I'm gonna put a hex on
your wisdom save, okay?

- Man, is it even worth
trying to get some sleep

before our shift?

- No, look, trust a
professional party kid

like me, it's better
to just tough it out

than try to get a
lame hour and a half.

Whoa. What was that?



- What was what?

Look, I love wandering
around in dark alleys

at 4:00 in the morning
like anyone else,

but if you go looking
for trouble, you find it.

Okay?

I heard that.
- Should we call it in?

- And, what, get laughed
at when we find out

it's just a cat in heat?

No thank you.

Mm.

You go right over here.

- Psst.

- Hey.

- Aaron?



Aaron!

- Yeah.

- Whoa!

Guys, put your gun down.
We are police officers.

You do not wanna do this.

- Celina, look out!

- Remember this:

Covered face, shroud of shame.

No escape when you're to blame.

Cry me a river,
back to the start.

Dog deliver a live part.

- Officer down. Officer down.

Officer...

Aaron.

Aaron.

Aaron. Aaron.

- You should be asleep.

- Well, I don't sleep so well
when you work the late shift.

- Right back at ya.

- But I did need
to turn the corner

on Simone's garage conversion,
so it's for the best.

Engine-53,

I have a priority
dispatch to a GSW.

Male victim, not
conscious, not breathing.

Off-duty officer involved.

I'll show you en route.
- John, I gotta go.

A cop's been shot.

- Do you know who?
What division?

- No. But I'll call when I can.

Hello?

- What happened?

- Over here!

- Celina! What happened?

- They shot him.

I couldn't stop it.

- It's not your fault,
it's not your fault.

GSW to the left shoulder.

I can't find an exit wound.

Tell St. Stephens we
have a level one GSW.

Large amount of blood
loss on the scene.

Prep a massive
transfusion protocol.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Don't move. Don't move.

Don't move.

Did you lose consciousness?
- No, I don't think so.

Wait. Maybe I did.

- Any numbness? Tingling?

- No, I'm fine.
Just a little dizzy.

Help him.
- We will, but I need you

to stay still.

- Set a perimeter
to two blocks out.

I'm setting a command
post at Wilton and Third.

I need six additional
units for canvassing.

Notify crime scene
and the lieutenant.

- Sir, we got ambushed.

Three men in these crazy masks.

I don't know where
they went, or...

Or how long ago, but we
need to secure the scene,

look for the shell casing...

It must've ejected
near the north wall.

- Celina, we're on it.

Harper's gonna meet
you at the hospital

to take a statement, all right?

- Hey, how bad?

- It's bad.

- Hey, I heard it was Thorsen.

- GSW to the back.

Celina says they were ambushed.

Three men with masks.

- I'll coordinate with
the canvassing officers.

- Run everyone in
a 5-mile radius

who's on parole, probation,
for assaulting a cop.

- Yes, sir.

- I can walk by myself.
- I know.

- Did you set the ADT alarm?
- Yes.

Uh, hi, my wife's
water just broke.

Doctor Schneider
told us to come in.

- Gunshot to the
posterior left shoulder.

He has a pulse, but he's
critically hypertensive.

Blood pressure 80/54.

We gave him two large bore IVs.

- GCS?
- Seven.

- Oh, no.

- One, two, three.

I need trauma labs.

Hang a unit of blood. O neg.

Patient's not
protecting his airway.

Prepare to intubate. I want
a 7.5 tube, 23 to the T.

Start 20 Etomidate, 80 of roc.

Positive breath
sounds, both sides.

Pulse is weak and thready.

I need to see what
we're dealing with.

- The ultrasound unit is ready.

- Hey, I'm looking
for... Thank you.

Hey, what happened?

- They rushed Aaron to the ER.

- What about Celina?
- I don't know.

- I didn't know she was
hurt. My water broke.

- Let me up! I got work to do!

- Hey, hey.
- Let me up!

Okay, I'm fine.
- Hey, hey, relax, relax.

Hey, it's me, okay.
Relax. They're just gonna

check you out and make
sure you're not hurt, okay?

- He told me something,
the guys in the masks

they said I... I
needed to remember.

All right, he's
gonna check you out

and make sure you're all right.
- No, no, no!

I need to tell you
now. What if I forget?

All right, all right.
Stop, stop, stop!

Just give a second,
just give a second.

All right, this is
officer John Nolan,

badge number 25253,

taking a statement
from Officer Juarez

on the assault on her
and Officer Thorsen.

Go.

- Remember this:

Covered face.
- Covered face.

Shroud of shame.
- Shroud of shame.

No escape when you're to blame.

- No escape when
you're to blame.

Celina, look out!

- Cry me a river.

- C-cry me a river.
Back to the start.

- Dog deliver a live part.

- Dog deliver a live part.

- Dog deliver a what?

- A live part. I don't
know what it means.

That's what he said, I swear.
- Okay, no. It's okay.

You got... you did
great. I got it.

- I'm sorry, but we
need to treat her.

She could have a fractured
skull, brain bleed.

Put a rush on that CAT scan.

How is he?

John.

- Uh, I don't... I don't
know. It... it looks bad.

- Why isn't he in surgery yet?

- They have to do
a FAST exam first.

Do we know if they
were targeted?

- I don't know if we
know anything yet,

but she had me record a riddle

that they told her
during the assault.

- A riddle?
- I know. It sounds crazy,

and with her head injury, I'm
not even sure she got it right,

but she was adamant.

We have to get you upstairs.

- It's fine, it's
just early labor.

- Angela.

Okay.

- Excuse me.

- But... but send me the riddle.

If this baby's
anything like Jack,

it'll be a while before
she makes an appearance.

Wesley and I can fill the
time before she comes.

- All right. Good luck.
- Thanks.

Hey.

Vance is the best
trauma surgeon around.

Aaron's in good hands.
- Okay.

So, what... what do we do next?

- Well, Celina's your rookie.

No one will hold it against
you if you stay by her side.

- Trust me, I will never
hear the end of this

if I don't get straight to
figuring out who did it.

- She said they
were wearing masks.

- What kind?
- The terrifying kind.

- I'll get a sketch artist
to come in and sit with her,

soon as the doctors are done.

- Right upper quadrant, clear.

Pericardial sac, clear.

Pelvic area, clear.

Left upper quadrant...

I'm seeing free fluid.

Most likely the spleen.

BP is plummeting!

I can start more blood.
- No time.

We gotta get him to the OR.

- Prepare for
exploratory laparotomy

and probable splenectomy.

Stay on top of the blood.

Estimated blood
loss, at least 500.

Start Levophed.

- All right, listen up. All
time off has been canceled.

All OT approved.

Catching these suspects is
the department's top priority.

- All right, this is
what we know so far:

at approximately 4:00 a.m.,

Officers Thorsen and
Juarez were attacked.

Officer Thorsen was shot
and is currently in surgery.

A blood drive has been
set up at the hospital.

If you can donate, please
do at the end of shift.

- Officer Juarez
sustained a concussion,

but has been
providing Nolan and I

with the details of the assault,

including sketches of the
masks the assailants wore.

- Those are not store-bought
Halloween masks.

- No, they are not.

So, our first job is to try
and identify the manufacturer

and then hopefully track
them back to our assailants.

- I'd like to help with that.
- Sold.

We are currently pulling
cell tower records

for that area.

There shouldn't be
a lot of activity

at that hour in the morning.

- Intel is also combing
through social media

to see if anyone
has posted video

of the attack or the aftermath.

- Yeah, and I've also
compiled a list of everybody

that's done time for
assaulting a police officer,

but so far, nobody's
jumping out.

- Most of those guys were
drunk and sucker punched a cop.

It's something else.

- A lot of this still
doesn't make sense.

So we need a list

of top-priority
questions to answer.

- I mean, it seems obvious
that they were targeted.

Why else the masks
and the riddle?

So was this specifically
about Aaron and Celina?

- Yeah, and why not
just kill Aaron?

Look, from the description

that Celina gave
of the shooting,

they easily could've just
shot him in the head.

All I am asking is if there
was a reason they did not.

- Fair enough. What else?

- Thorsen's not just a
cop, he's a public figure.

So is it related to his family?

- Right. Or were
they sent by Elijah?

Even behind bars,
he still has power.

- You'd think he'd target
Angela first, but you're right.

We should look into
it. Anything else?

- Are they done?

Uh...

I'm not sure you
should be doing that.

- It's fine. They
have computers.

Ah, you know what?

How about I take over, okay?

I'll take that.

- Oh. Okay.

- Hi. Is this the
puzzle palace?

- Mm-hmm.
- Luna, how are you?

- A little shaken,
but I'm not the one

who's about to push out a kid.

- Not sure how "about to" I am.

My cervix refuses to dilate.

I was always told the
second birth was easier.

- They just tell
you that so that

you'll go through it again.

Is that the riddle?

- It is.

Please tell me you majored
in riddles in college.

- Not quite, but I do three
crossword puzzles a day,

so I am here to offer my brain.

- We're happy to
have you. Okay.

"Covered face, shroud of shame.

"No escape when you're to blame.

"Cry me a river,
back to the start.

Dog deliver a live part."

- Well, the first line
seems pretty obvious,

given that they
were wearing masks.

"Covered face,
shroud of shame."

The mask hides someone's shame.

- They're guilty,
and they know it.

- But is that too easy?

What if the covered
face is figurative

and it's about the
victim, not the attacker?

- "No escape when
you're to blame."

When you're to blame,
not when I'm to blame.

So this person thinks that
Aaron and Celina are guilty.

- "Cry me a river."
Don't make excuses.

- "Back to the start."

Where did this all begin?

- With an arrest?

If it's someone that
Aaron and Celina arrested,

that would make sense.

These attackers are blaming them

for ruining their lives.

- I'm sure Grey has someone
pulling their unit histories.

Have you heard any
updates on Aaron?

- Just that he's in surgery.

BP and O2 are falling.

- We got a bleeder somewhere.

The lungs are
filling with fluid.

Prepare a chest tube.

Okay.

On to the next problem.

- Hey!
- Can we come in?

- Of course.
- We wanted you to have

a calming place
of recovery, so...

Quartz for healing,

obsidian for protection.

- Thank you. You didn't have
to go through all this trouble.

- It's Los Angeles.

We got this in the
hospital gift shop.

- And if you're up
for a challenge,

your favorite meatball sub.

I am starving.

I could eat two of those.

- I knew it. I bought you two.

Bailey called me crazy.

- I stand corrected.

- Um, any updates on the case?

- Well, we have a long list
of people that didn't do it.

- Then that's progress, I guess.

Can I, um...

Can I ask you something?

- Of course. Yeah.

- I'm gonna go see if
there's any updates on Aaron.

- Thanks.

What's on your mind?

- I should've called it in.

The second we heard something,
I shouldn't have left his side.

- Look, if there's something
you can learn from this...

A lesson you take... great.

But this doesn't sound
like a rational assessment.

This sounds like
blaming yourself.

- I am. How can I not?

- You were ambushed, and
you were outnumbered,

and despite a nasty
knock to the head,

you managed to call for help
and administer first aid

before EMTs could arrive.

Celina, because of you,
Aaron has a chance.

So no more blaming yourself.

- And if you ask me very nicely,

I could help you
with these subs.

- Get your own.

- Worth a shot.

- Great news. Aaron's
out of surgery.

- I'll go check.
I'll let you know.

- We ran into a few hiccups,

but the surgery went as
well as can be expected.

- He's gonna be okay?

- Well, I can't promise that.

The next 12 hours are
gonna be critical.

Any word on his parents?

- They're on a plane
flying back from Dubai.

- Happy to update
them once they arrive.

Thank you, Doctor.

- Hey. We heard the
good news about Aaron.

Unfortunately, none of our
CIs have heard anything

about a gang targeting cops.

- And we're in the same
boat with the masks.

They're clearly custom,
but we've struck out

with every manufacturer
in Southern California.

- What about Elijah?
- They've been going over

communication in
and out of prison,

and nothing indicates that
he's playing at anything.

- Anything positive
on the riddle front?

- Not yet. The front half
is deceptively simple,

but he back half is
a head-scratcher.

Angela and Wesley
are deep into it.

- I hate to say it, but this
is not gonna break tonight.

Go home, get some sleep.

Night shift will run
whatever leads come in.

The rest of us will
have clearer heads

in the morning, I hope.

- You're gonna stay with Aaron?
- Yeah.

And I'll keep an
eye on Celina too.

- Thank you.

- It's gonna be all right.

- It's gotta be.

I can't lose another.

- I know.

Why don't we get
some dinner in you?

Gonna be a long night.

- Yeah.

- ♪ It's gonna

♪ Kill you all

- ♪ It's gonna

♪ Kill you all

♪ Coming up on the horizon

- Come here.
- Yeah.

♪ Meet me at the meadow

♪ When the petals

♪ Are falling off

- Remember when we entered
the Caverns of Depravity

and faced off against Glabrezu?

Baldr-Ray kept calling
it the Labradoodle.

Of course that ugly
four-armed hellspawn

went straight for
the spellcaster.

40-some points of damage.

You were down zero.

Your first death save
failed, and the second,

and I thought it was over.

But then, on your third roll,

a natural 20.

And before it even knew
what was happening,

you thunderwaved that
Labradoodle into lava flow.

That's what we need
now, Aaron, okay?

I need you to roll a natural 20

and destroy that Labradoodle.

Well, I... I guess
in this analogy,

the Labradoodle is... is death,

but you know what I mean.

Come on, Aaron.

- Okay, so I know we
usually watch TV and relax,

but how would you feel
about perusing the Internet

for creepy masks?

- Ooh, dream date.

I'll get my laptop.

Excellent.

Hey, um...

Join me in the bedroom
just for a second.

- Why?

- Because one of them is right
outside the kitchen door,

and I want you to call 911.

- Okay.
- You good?

- Yep.

I'll set the table.

- 911. What's your emergency?

- Officer in trouble.
2273 Lakeview Drive.

This is connected to the
shooting this morning.

- Show yourself. Now.

Hands in the air.

- Send police and ambulance.

- Bailey!

- Come on.

- It's over.

The cavalry's
coming. Give it up.

- Do it again.

- Final warning,
dumbass. Give it up!

- Hey!

- Officer Nolan,
can you hear me?

- We're Code 4. Shooter
is down in the kitchen.

- Hey. You okay? You hurt?

- No, I'm just a
little banged up.

- You?
- No, same, same.

We have to warn everybody.

If they came after us, they
could be going after them too.

- Whew. Leah's finally asleep.

I swear, that kid
is part nocturnal.

- I don't think that's a thing.

- Then you explain it. Here.

- No. I gotta stay sharp.

- How can I help?

- You can't. I can't even
seem to help right now.

These guys just attacked
two of our police officers

and then just disappeared
without a trace.

- They even collected their
shell casings on the way out.

Hey.

We have to go! Now!

- What? What? What?

- Leah! Grab my gun.

No, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

No.

- Nyla! Gun!

- She's gone.
- What? What do you mean?

- Where is she? Where is she?

Oh, God.

Call... call 911.

Silver sedan. License
plate says L or I, or...

I can't see it.

Get that...

I can't tell what it's...

Here, here!

Hi! Hi!

- Hey, baby.
- Hi.

Oh.

- Hey, sweetie.

- Oh.

- Who hired you?
- I don't know

what you're talking about.

I'm just a tourist here to
see the glamour of Hollywood.

- And kill cops.
- You're pretty smug

for someone who just
got shot and stabbed.

- It's not the first time.

- No, we know.

We ran your prints.

- Hamza Young.
Professional mercenary

wanted in connection with
three foreign assassinations.

- You don't get out of bed
for less than 20K a day.

- Who hired you?
- If you read my file,

you know I'm not a
guy who talks to cops.

So let the medics through.

I need a hospital and a lawyer.

- All right, listen. We're
in DEFCON 1 territory.

We have to assume all hitters
have the same skill level,

which means we need to isolate
everyone we care about.

- That is gonna take
a lot of space...

A whole floor of a hotel.

- Aaron's parents just
rented one at the Peninsula.

I tried to talk 'em out of it,

but they texted back,
"It's only money."

- All right. We'll need
heavy security in the lobby

and a SWAT team guarding
every elevator or stairs.

- We should move
everyone covertly,

make the homes seem occupied,

see if we can draw them
into another attack.

- Two teams on each
home should be enough.

- How many officers is that?

- On top of the ones
at St. Stephens?

45, 50.

I'm pulling everyone I can.

- How are Harper,
James, and the baby?

- Shaken up. They took
Leah to get checked up

at the hospital, which is
where you guys are going

to get cleaned up.
- Fine, but after that,

I'm getting right
back into the game.

It's time we start
playing offense.

- Celina must've heard
the last line wrong.

Maybe it's "dog
deliver a live heart."

- Okay, and what
would that mean?

No idea.

Okay, uh, bog deliver,
fog deliver...

Why are we taking
this at face value?

We've already established

that the first few
lines are deceptive.

What if the last line isn't
what it seems to be, either?

- Well, dog backwards is god.

- Live part
backwards... Evil trap.

- That's it.

Semordnilap.

- Do not have a
stroke on me now.

- "Palindromes" backwards.

And if the word is backwards,
maybe the sentence is, too.

"Trap evil a reviled god."

Yeah, that's not better.

- Uh, what's this?

- Work.

- We actually put important
things on that board.

Anyway, it's time.
We're at 24 hours.

Time to have this baby.
- Great.

Uh, one minute.

"Trap evil a reviled god."
It's a line from a play.

- Huh.
- Okay, I do think giving birth

should be the
priority right now.

- Totally, I just need
to make a quick detour.

- Detour? Do I look
like a taxi service?

- Yeah. Let's go.
- Okay. Come on, honey.

- So according to the feds,
Hamza flew in two weeks ago

from Poland, then
disappeared off the grid.

- How's Leah?

- She's fine, thank God.

James is taking
her to the hotel.

- Listen, to piggyback off
your question from yesterday

as to why they
didn't kill Aaron...

Why didn't they
take your daughter?

Why grab her just
to leave her behind?

- I don't know.

I've been asking myself
the same question.

- It's almost as if their goal

is to torture you
as much as possible.

- Nyla. We solved the riddle.

It pointed us to an
obscure one-act play,

Look at their costumes.

I airdropped it to you.

- Okay, we talked to Harper.
Now we really need to go.

- Yeah, we got this.
Go have that baby.

A play?

- We have a suspect.

- The masks our
attackers are wearing

were for a play back in 1996.

It ran for three
weeks before closing.

The theater company sold all
of their props and costumes

to Second Life Theater Supply.

- Where they sat on a shelf
until 15 of them were purchased

last week by Roy Gracco.

- Gracco is a two-time felon
with a history of violence.

- What's his beef
with Mid-Wilshire?

- We don't know yet, but
his first felony conviction

came from an arrest
that we made,

but the arresting officers
have since transferred.

- I still don't understand
the point of this riddle.

Why are they pointing
us down this path,

and should we follow?
- We have no choice.

But we're showing up
with overwhelming force

in case there's another ambush.

Everyone stay on
your toes. Let's go.

- Alpha ready.
- Bravo ready.

- Three, two, one.

- Clear.

- Front room clear.

- It's freezing in here.

- Clear.

- Clear.

- Drop the gun! Drop it!

- On your front side!

- I think he's dead.

- Control, suspect is down...

Not conscious, not
breathing, cool to the touch.

He's 10-5-5.

- Must've cranked the
AC to slow the decomp.

- It's Gracco.

But why?

- It's a trap.

- Abort! Abort! Abort!

- Fall back!
- Everyone out!

- Let's go!
- Let's go, let's go!

- Get out now!
- Go, go, go, go, go.

Control, I need the bomb squad

to the target house
for a full sweep.

Send the M.E. and TID out here,

standing by for
a priority search

once the house is clear.

- I don't understand.

Was Gracco in charge
of this crew or not?

- M.E. puts Gracco's
time of death

before Aaron and
Celina were ambushed.

- So the riddle lead
us to Gracco's house

so we could be blown
to kingdom come.

- Are we any closer
to catching this guy?

'Cause it's starting
to feel like

we're not getting anywhere.

All we've done since
Aaron has been shot

is follow the clues
they wanted us to have.

- TID is processing the house.

These guys are pros. We're
not gonna find anything.

We should move on.
- What? No.

Not yet. Look, if
Gracco is a patsy,

then we should be
asking why him?

- He's a felon with a
history in Mid-Wilshire.

- Yeah, sure, but there are
hundreds of guys like that,

so why Gracco?

Did they pull his name
out of a database,

or is there some
kind of a connection?

- You think it's personal?

- I mean, look, if...
If I was gonna go

to the extreme of
targeting police officers,

why not take out some of
my enemies along the way?

Costs us nothing
to run with that.

Check Gracco's known associates,

family, coworkers,

anyone he did time with
that might hold a grudge.

Run them against people
that we arrested.

And say a prayer
while you're at it.

We can use a little

divine intervention right now.

It's Wesley.

What's wrong?
- Uh, nothing.

Angela had the
baby. It's a girl.

- Hey!
- Hey!

Ooh!

That is some
much-needed good news.

Sending our love.

- Hi!
- Hey!

- Did you catch
the bad guys yet?

- Not yet, but we're on it.

- You just focus on you
and that little angel.

- Hey, um, what about Aaron?

- He's still in a coma.

- Come on, Aaron.

You can't let that
Labradoodle push you

into the Sea of Sorrow.

You have to rally.

Help me find the
Staff of Healing.

- We have a list.

These seven people
have a troubled history

with both Gracco and one of us.

- The top four are
the most hardcore...

Bill Gyst, Demarcus Hahn,
Keegan Ray, and Mariela Cruz...

All of them violent
felons we've arrested

in the last three years.

- Bradford, I want Metro
knocking on their doors.

Even if they're not
behind the attacks on us,

they like to fight.
- All right.

I'll get Lieutenant Pine
moving on setting up the raids.

- What about the other three?

- Non-violent offenders
who did time with Gracco...

Donald Weathers, Luke
Moran, and K.D. Howard.

- Nolan, Harper, you
check out Weathers.

- I'll take Moran.
- You're not going by yourself.

- I'll go with her. Pine's
got every Metro officer

in the city mobilized.

She can spare me.
- All right.

- I'll have Jan and
Rodriguez visit Howard.

But everyone, stay sharp.

If you even think you
see something off,

call for backup.

Let's go.

- You should be out
kicking doors with Metro.

- I'm good.

- I don't need
you protecting me.

- I know.

- So clearly what you're saying
is you need me protecting you.

Clearly.

- You know me so well.

- I'm happy it's you at my six.

- Back at you.

Police. Open up.

Luke Moran, we need
to talk to you.

- What do you wanna do?
- I wanna kick it in

and see if he's in there, but
we need a warrant for that,

and we're not gonna get
it without probable cause.

- Stop right there!
- Adam-100, we got a crowd

coming towards us,
multiple armed suspects.

We need help right now.
- Adam-100 issued a help call

at 52101 Santa Rosa...

- Hey, stop moving!
- Drop your weapons!

- Drop the weapons!

- Go, go, go!

- ♪ Oh

- Go. Up, up, up!

I'll hold 'em off.

- What? No. We have
the higher ground.

We stand a chance,
but only together.

- Okay.

We hurt as many as we can
retreat up the stairs.

- Okay, but they're
gonna expect us to push.

Let's go the other way.

- Pull not push... copy that.
- Yeah.

flesh and I said ♪

♪ Cash in now, baby

- Holy...

- Go, I'll try and even

- Whoa, whoa!
- Ah, oh, go, go!

- 7-Adam-15, I have Bradford
and Chen secured upstairs.

Freeze! Don't move!

- Control, I've got
two injured officers

and multiple suspects injured
by blunt force trauma and GSWs.

- Don't move!
- At least 12 for transport.

This is a mass-casualty event.

- All units, I have eyes on
Aaron and Celina's attacker.

Black pants, brown
jacket, and a mask.

Just ducked in a doorway
north end of the alleyway.

- Airship-1, inbound
from the east.

- Airship-2, inbound
from the south.

- Talk to me.

- I screwed up. They're on me.

- Hey, you knew it
would come to this.

- I know.

I just wish we hurt them more

for all they took from me.

- Trust me, you hurt them a lot.

- I couldn't have done
any of it without you.

- Oh, please.

I saw a wrong that
needed to be righted.

And hopefully, it's given
you a bit of dignity.

- It has. Thank you.

I've gotta go.

- Lincoln-200, I'm in the
basement looking for suspect.

- Just us.

You should be on your
way to the hospital.

- We'll go after.

- You're trapped, Luke!
- That's close enough!

- I must say, the list of
possible masterminds...

You were at the bottom.

- Doesn't surprise me at all.

- I don't get it.

You did 90 days for elder abuse.

How'd you end up here?

- Because that 90
days destroyed me!

I was beaten,

forced to humiliate
myself to survive.

My mom died while
I was in there.

I lost my job, my home.

Everything.

I was just a case
to you. But you...

You were my apocalypse.

- Well, it's over now.

Drop your gun and step out,

and keep your hands
where we can see 'em.

- No.

I'm not goin' back.

- What's happening?

- We have a code blue, room ten.

Code blue, room ten.

- Aaron.

- It just doesn't add up.

Oh, look at 'em go.

Hot damn, that is
money well spent.

- I mean, Luke had
motivation for days,

but how the hell
does a guy like that

afford to hire a
dozen mercenaries?

- Weaponizing Luke
Moran against the LAPD

has driven every cop in the
city away from our target.

And by the time they realize
the damage we've done,

we'll be long gone.

- Damn it.
