The Rookie (2018–…): Season 5, Episode 8 - The Collar - full transcript
Officers John Nolan and Celina Juarez are in a race against time to stop the source of an explosive rampage.
♪ Get up, we're
getting ready to roll ♪
What about Kilimanjaro
for the honeymoon?
You mean like to climb?
It's more of a strenuous hike.
Is there a beach at the top?
Ooh, I don't want to lie,
but I do want you to say yes.
Celina: Morning!
Morning. Morning.
I made you coffee, and I
found your special milk.
Thank you. No. No,
no more special milk.
No more extra pillows.
Hotel Nolan is
officially closed.
Two nights is more than enough.
I know. I'm back in my
place tonight, I swear.
Uh, my new mattress and
white-noise machine arrived today.
I wish I had that
machine last night.
That sound was driving me crazy.
I didn't notice
anything. I did.
Every time I thought
it was going to stop,
it just ramped back up again.
Was I snoring?
No. It was much
softer than that.
Like scratching.
Oh, probably a raccoon.
I'll check the crawl
space when I come home.
What do you know about
the history of your house?
I know what year it was built.
No, I mean, like,
has anyone died here?
My house is not haunted.
You don't know that.
The only unwanted
entity in this house,
I'm looking at right now.

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪

Bah-bah-bah. Ohh. [

Any chance you're gonna make it to
the pediatrician appointment today?
I mean, if everyone just
confesses to their crimes,
sure, but I doubt it.
Well, the thing is
Jack is due for his
vaccinations today.
And you're usually
there to soothe him.
He'll be fine. Just give
him Tylenol and cuddles.
I know. I just don't want
him to feel betrayed.
Like I took him to this place
he got jabbed by needles.
Better he feels I betrayed him?
Y-Yeah. [ Chuckles ]
I can see who's gonna
be the disciplinarian.
I got to go.
Bye, honey!
[ Children's music playing ]
[ Both laughing ]
So, uh, I've been thinking.
Things are good between us.
Yeah. You know, we've
been through a lot,
and we've come
through it stronger.
I agree. [ Chuckles ]
So, uh, maybe it's time
to move in together.
[ Chuckles ] Maybe. Sure.
I mean, your place is
kind of small, though.
I-I know, but with
my new promotion,
I could maybe afford a cardboard
box deep in the Valley.
Wait. You want to buy a house?
Yeah. That's what
grownups do, right?
And I know you won't go
anywhere without Tamara.
So what if we got a place
with a converted garage?
I'll have to think about it.
Great. Let's talk tonight.
I'll start looking at listings.
So, I think I've proven
myself, you know,
with my contributions to cases,
and, you know, I-I
know I'm young,
but I really think that I
could really help out around...
Hey, sir, I was wondering
if I could have a minute.
You got 20 seconds. Go.
Okay. So you remember
the diamond case, right?
It was my... my first case.
Look, you're not gonna get
to the point at this rate.
Okay. I want to
be a detective,
and I will do anything
to make that happen.
Is that it?
Yes. Alright.
Shadow Harper and Lopez today.
- Hey, Tim.
- Yeah?
I'm reassigning Aaron for today.
Lucy, that means you're
back on gopher duty.
Okay. [ Clears throat ]
I could handle one day alone.
Is there some reason you
two can't ride together?
♪♪
Of course not. No, sir.
Good.
Sorry.
Um...
I'll go get the gear. Okay.
Officer Thorsen
reporting for duty.
Grey just signed off on it.
Told you he would.
I didn't realize you
wanted to be a detective.
I mean, to me, it seems
like the most effective way
to make sure other people
aren't railroaded like I was.
'Cause the detective that
was assigned my case,
he dropped the ball
every step of the way.
Well, he was French.
So, what, you've never seen,
like, a bad American detective?
That's fair.
But I do have to warn you,
being a detective is nothing
like being on patrol.
The hours are brutal,
and the cases are
emotionally devastating
in a way that patrol
can't prepare you for.
Are you sure you want this?
Yes, I'm sure.
What do you say we
start with a test? Oh.
How about a game
of five questions?
Okay. Let's go. Yeah.
As a detective, you need
to ask the right questions,
so I'll send you the
first page of a case file.
You can ask us five questions
and five questions only.
So think carefully about what
you need to know to solve it.
Oh, I got this.
Alright, so the
records get dodgy,
but so far I haven't found
anyone who's died in your house.
On your land is a
bigger question.
Okay. I appreciate
all the hard work.
I think I'm just gonna
call an exterminator.
Look, I-I think you need to
broaden your understanding
of what's possible. Have
you tried ayahuasca?
Nolan: Hmm.
You know, it really shifts
the way you see the world.
I think it'd be good for you.
Is that the one that makes
you vomit uncontrollably?
It's very cleansing.
Yeah, I-I think I want to keep
my perception the way it is.
[ Police radio chatter ]
So...
how's single life going?
It's good. No one to complain
when I watch
football all Sunday.
You didn't leave the house once?
I walked Kojo.
Tim, what? [ Chuckles ]
I spend all week outside.
No, I know, but we
live in a vibrant city.
There's always something
amazing going on.
Okay, so, don't get me
wrong, I love L. A.,
but it is not a
vibrant city, okay?
It's a loosely stitched together
patchwork of strip malls.
You're hopeless.
[ Cellphone rings ]
Chris: Hey! You busy?
Uh, no. Wh-Where are you?
An open house. It was
on my way to work.
Uh, what do you think?
It needs some work,
but, uh, it's three bedrooms.
Yeah, I... I can't really see
anything. Can we talk later?
Okay. Love you.
Yeah.
Are you... Are you and Chris,
uh, moving in together?
No. Uh, it's... I mean,
he seems to think you are.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
He kind of sprang it
on me this morning.
You guys are happy, right?
Yeah. Those are the
obvious next steps.
Yeah, no, we're super
happy. It's... It's good.
Dispatch: 7-Adam-100, I have
an in-progress vandalism
on West 3rd south of Olympic.
Yeah. Show us responding.
[ Siren wails ]
Krishna: No, no, no,
no! Not the Corvette!
You should've thought of that
before you flirted
with that whore!
Babe! Aah! Lucy: Oh, my God.
Our accountant? She's 60!
And a stone-cold fox!
Tim: Okay, ma'am... ma'am, put down
the golf club. Krishna: Oh, yeah?
Sir, no! Put the
golf club down!
You wouldn't dare! Is
this what you want?
Okay, that's it!
Enough! Weapons down!
Weapon? It's a golf club.
Now.
I... Look, Officer, this
is a misunderstanding.
Who called you?
That doesn't matter.
It was the busybody across
the street, wasn't it?
I bet she's posting on Nextdoor!
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
of course she is.
You know, what else has she
got in her sad little life?
She needs to put down the phone
and take in her garbage bins!
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Actually, can you guys do
something about that, huh?
She just leaves them
out there for days.
Not our jurisdiction.
[ Sweetly ] Okay. Fine.
Mm. So where do you want
to go for brunch? In bed.
Mmm. I like the way
you're thinking.
Okay. Either of you
want to make a report
about the damage to your cars?
[ Sighs ] At this point,
we have the body
shop on speed dial.
♪♪
So, have you thought
of your first question?
Yes.
I already went over
the file you gave me.
The remains were
found on the grounds
of the La Brea Tar Pits complex,
and a female guard went
missing one month prior.
Correct.
And it's always the boyfriend.
Okay. First question.
Was she seeing anyone?
Yes. And he also
worked at the museum.
A paleontologist.
Oh, okay. So he had
access to the grounds.
Interesting. Did
he have an alibi?
No, he did not.
Okay.
So why haven't you
and Bailey set a date?
Oh, we're enjoying
being engaged.
Hm. Have something to
do with her crazy ex?
Are they even divorced?
Uh, yeah, they have
been for a while now.
How did you even
know about that?
I mean, cops gossip.
Really? About me?
What else do they say?
Well, they don't say,
like, anything bad.
They just mention...
[ Engine revs, tires
screech ] Whoa.
Light it up.
[ Siren wails ]
[ Tires screech ]
Ma'am?
Uh, ma'am, can you turn
the engine off for me?
Pam: I can't stop. I have
to keep driving. I'm sorry.
Ma'am, I need you
to stop the car.
What is that around your neck?
He made me put it on.
He said to drive
or he'd kill me.
Ma'am, is that a bomb?
[ Crying ] I have to go.
I'm sorry. I
don't want to die.
I have to go.
Ma'am? Ma'am? No. No!
[ Tires squeal ]
♪♪
Pilot: Air-3 is lifting off now.
ETA... 5 minutes from target.
You made the right call. We have
to assume it's a real explosive.
Coordinating with
the bomb squad now.
Yes, sir. What would
you like us to do?
Follow her, but stay out
of radio range. Yes, sir.
If the bomb has
a remote trigger,
our radio signal
could set it off.
Celina: Dropping back.
We'll clear the streets.
Air support's on its way.
Sir, maybe we can
get a court order
for all the cell carriers.
Get phone numbers attached
to her home address.
It's already in process.
7-Adam-100, 2331,
stand by for victim information.
Copy. Copy.
Where do you want us?
Scout for a staging area.
Bomb squad needs
a wide-open space.
We have to limit
potential casualties.
There's an empty lot
near Nolan's location.
Perfect. I'll send
backup to you now.
So, Harper, Lopez, Nolan says
the driver's under duress.
Said she was told
to keep driving
or the bomb would detonate.
Did he give her a destination?
No. Doesn't seem to
be about a target.
She's the target.
So we need to find
whatever we can on her.
Whoever chose her
did it for a reason.
We're on it. Nolan...
bomb squad needs to know what they're
dealing with. Can you get a picture?
No problem. Turning
off radio, going dark.
Want you to pull up
next to that car.
Try and stay parallel.
The bomb car? Yeah.
Okay. Getting closer
to the bomb car.
[ Engine revs ]
Alright.
Closer. Alright.
[ Crying ]
Uh, it's a hinged collar
secured around her neck,
kind of like
handcuffs. Nolan...
With quarter-twenty tapped
standoffs at regular intervals.
Nolan.
The explosive is built
into the side of the unit.
Contains C-4. It's connected
with red and green wires.
J-John! Almost done.
No, we have to fall back.
I just need a better
look at the clasp.
It's... It's secured
under her chin
with a pin post lock, dual-post
shackle-style mechanism.
[ Tires screech ]
God. Did you get it? That
was some slick driving.
Thanks.
Okay. Hopefully,
that's all they need.
I-I mean, that was a
pretty precise description.
Oh, in my previous life,
I was a contractor.
I'm surprised you
remember your past lives.
Celina.
I'm sorry. Just kidding.
Lopez: We're on our way
to the victim's house now.
I need a scrub of all
social-media posts.
Thanks. Pam's a lawyer.
We should start with
her client list.
I already put in a call
to her old law firm.
She had a
criminal-defense practice,
so there's no telling
who she pissed off.
Look at you.
I mean, if I want to become
detective before I'm 30,
I got to be on my game, right?
Does that mean you've thought
of your third question?
I have, but I don't
want to just assume
that the paleontologist
boyfriend did it,
so I need a more complete
picture of the guard's life.
Does she have a criminal record?
As a matter of fact, she
was under investigation
at the time of
her disappearance.
They suspected her of stealing
small artifacts from the museum
and selling them on
the black market.
Maybe she got greedy
or threatened to
go to the police,
and whoever she was working with
decided she was a liability.
Is there a question in there?
Not yet.
[ Police radio chatter ]
Perfect. There's
plenty of space to...
[ Punk music playing,
skaters chattering ]
Boy: Awesome, dude.
Flag on the play.
Parking lot is not empty.
Sgt. Grey: Clear it out now.
I'm redirecting the bomb
squad to your location.
Hey! LAPD! We need you guys
to clear out! Let's go!
There's a bomb! Run like hell!
Let's go!
[ Children shouting ]
Boy: Let's roll! [ Skaters
shouting indistinctly ]
[ Siren wails ]
We have Pam's mobile number.
[ Cellphone rings ]
Hi. It's Pam, right?
My name is John.
We have the bomb squad on
the way to help you out.
You are gonna be okay.
Right now, I need
you to follow us.
Can you do that?
I need to call my mom.
I need to tell her
that I love her.
We can do that, but right
now, I need you to follow us
so we can meet up with
the bomb squad, okay?
He told me to keep driving.
He said that I would
die if I didn't.
Pam, that's a lie.
Bomb squad says there's no
GPS on your collar, alright?
He can't tell if
you're stopped or not.
Are you sure?
Yes. Yes, Pam, I am sure.
Now we're gonna pull
out in front of you
and you're gonna
follow us, okay?
[ Breathes shakily ] Okay.
[ Engine revs ]
[ Siren wails ]
[ Helicopter blades whirring ]
Pilot: I have a visual.
Will maintain contact.
Alright, Pam.
Now, I want you to park
right up next to the orange cone
that Sergeant Bradford
is setting out.
Okay? Okay.
♪♪
Yeah, you got it. Gonna
take you to a safe spot.
Alright, Pam, just checking
in. How are you doing?
Um... not great.
Please get this thing off of me.
That's what we're here to do.
Alright. And there they
are. Bomb squad is here.
We're gonna have you
out of that in no time.
Now, Pam, earlier you said you
wanted me to call your mother.
Is there anyone else you
want me to get ahold of?
No. Not really.
Is that pathetic?
Not at all.
There's nothing like
a traumatic event
to make you realize that
your... That your life is empty.
Come on, Pam. I
don't believe that.
[ Sniffles ]
My entire life is work.
I have no friends.
I'm completely alone.
You're not alone, Pam.
'Cause I'm here now.
Everyone here is
here to help you.
I need you to cut off
your engine now, Pam.
You see that guy behind
you in the doughboy suit?
That's Mike. Mike is
absolutely the best there is.
Alright? He's gonna get you
out of there in no time.
The only problem is, uh,
he tells very bad dad jokes,
so I'm gonna have to
apologize in advance.
Alright. He's there
at your window.
Mike: It's locked.
I just need you to reach down
and open the door, okay, Pam?
I can't. I can't move. Hey...
Yes, you can do this.
You can do this, Pam.
Just take a... Take
a nice deep breath.
Reach down. Unlock that door.
[ Crying ] I-I can't.
I can't. I can't.
You got this. I know as soon as I
move, this thing's gonna go off!
No, come on. Come on,
Pam. It's almost over.
Mike is right there.
You just need to open
the door for him.
Okay, okay. Okay, okay,
okay. You got this, Pam.
Okay. Okay.
[ Exhales sharply ]
I'm gonna reach over.
I'm gonna...
I'm gonna unlock it, okay?
[ Collar beeping ]
It started beeping.
Do you hear that?
Why is it beeping?
It's beeping. Why
is it beeping?
Uh, don't worry about that,
Pam. Just open the door, okay?
[ Collar beeping rapidly
] Just open that door.

kids out of here!
Celina: Okay.

Girl: Yo, this is
so crazy, yo. Wait.
We were just
skating. Look, look.
Look at this. Look at this.
I need you all to back
up another 10 yards.
Yo, Officer, what happened?
I heard a lady blew up?
We're not sharing any
information at this time.
Back up!
[ Siren wails ]
[ Fire extinguisher spraying ]
[ Indistinct conversations ]
I pushed back the perimeter.
Good.
Do you think she felt it?
Her death? Yeah.
No.
But everything up to
that point was torture.
What'd the bomb squad say?
They confirmed what
we already suspected.
Device appears to be homemade
using items you can find
at any hardware store.
Do they know what
triggered the explosion?
Most likely, the
device was on a timer,
but they need to put the bomb
back together to be sure.
Ah, that's gonna be a
hell of a jigsaw puzzle.
I'm sure videos are already
popping up on social media.
And the news choppers
are already here.
[ Helicopter blades whirring ]
Okay, well, if her car and her
license plate get leaked online,
it's not gonna be long
till her name does, too.
Ohh, I can't imagine
finding out something
about someone I love
like this on ClipTalk.
We're not gonna let that happen.
Nolan, I want you and Juarez
to go to the victim's house.
Right.
Who would do
something like this?
[ Helicopter blades whirring ]
It's officially a homicide.
Was anyone else injured?
Nothing serious.
That's strange, right?
I mean, bombs are usually
for mass-casualty events.
If you want to kill one
person, a gun is a lot easier.
They didn't just want her dead.
They wanted her terrified.
[ Cellphone chimes ]
Hold on. I just got video
footage from Pam's house.
Can't see his face.
Alright. The garage camera's
triggered 7 minutes later.
Is there any other angle?
No, that's it.
Wait, wait. Go
back real quick.
Yeah. I feel like
she recognizes him.
Yeah, she doesn't seem scared.
Whoever he is, she
wasn't expecting trouble.
Alright, mother's name
is Marianne Winfield.
62, works in PR, and...
man, she's about to receive
the worst news of her life.
Alright. I'll do the talking.
It's better if only
one of us speaks.
That way, the person can focus
a little easier on what
we're telling them.
Well, I can do it.
You sure?
I have to make my first
death notification sometime.
Might as well be today.
Okay.
Don't speak in euphemisms.
No "passed on" or
"in a better place."
Just be direct.
"We have bad news.
Your daughter Pam was killed
today in an explosion."
You know, when the
police told my mom
that they'd recovered my sister,
they said, "We found her."
And for a second, we thought...
So you understand how
important this is.
Yeah. I do.

The last moments of her
life must have been agony,
just wondering if the
bomb was gonna go off,
praying it wouldn't.
I'm guessing that was the point.
No way someone goes through
that much trouble of building
something like that unless they
want to terrorize their victim.
Yeah.
[ Cellphone rings ]
Hey.
I saw the news. Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine, but
it's crazy out here.
Okay. Look, if you don't
have time, I get it.
But a Realtor friend of mine
just slipped me a listing.
It hasn't been
posted online yet.
So, uh, if you like it, I
think we should move on it.
Wow. Um, okay.
Chen, chat with your
boyfriend on your own time.
He's in a mood.
I'll let you go.
Just text me and let
me know what you think?
Yeah, I-I'll do that.
Thanks.
Pam Winfield was an in-house
counsel at Sunvale Oil
for the past five years.
Security e-mailed
me a list of people
who sent threatening
letters to the company.
The first guy lives
over on Orange Grove.
Alright, let's go
pay him a visit.
How's the Tar Pits case going?
I haven't been
thinking about it.
After what happened,
it seems kind of silly.
Part of being a detective
is juggling cases,
switching between
wildly different gears.
Okay. Um...
Okay. We have the boyfriend.
We have the artifacts broker.
Both have motive
to kill the guard.
I-I feel like I need to
know more about the theft.
Like, how did she get roped
up in this in the first place?
Is that a fourth question?
Yes. Did the guard take
the job at the museum
in order to gain access
to the artifacts?
It's hard to say, but we do know
that her black-market contact
was also her
high-school sweetheart.
Another love interest?
[ Pen clicks ]
Okay. Now we're
getting somewhere.
This is a lot.
Watching her die, having
to tell her mother.
It's more than anyone should
have to deal with in a day.
But our shift isn't over yet.
I know. I'm okay.
[ Cellphone rings ]
Hey. Where are you?
I'm under the house.
Why?
I keep hearing this noise,
and it's driving me crazy.
And you thought it
would be a good idea
to go under there by yourself?
That's why I FaceTimed you.
That's not the
same. It's not...
Wait. What is that?
What is what? Aah!
Bailey?
Bailey?! What is
what?! Bailey!
Sorry. False alarm.
It's just this guy.
Oh, God!
What is that doing under there?
I don't know. Should
I move it? Yeah.
No! No! Not till you
consult an exorcist.
Look, if you don't want to
move in, just tell Chris that.
That's...
The question is, why
don't I want to move in?
I don't get what the problem
is. I mean, Chris is great.
We're great together.
We never fight.
Maybe that's the problem.
Oh, you think we should be like
that couple from this morning?
No, I'm not saying
that, but... No.
But do you guys not fight
because you don't
disagree on things,
or because you don't think
