02x07 - Safety

[bunniefuu]

Eric Weddle
with a tackle...
Thattaboy, Weddle!

...just shy
of the first down marker.

Thattaboy, baby! Come on!

Rams defense needs a stop here
One more! One more stop.

to have any hopes of a win.
That's all we need.
One more stop.

We're coming on air live

with a car chase
in Los Angeles County.

Oh, come on!

The driver
has been eluding police

for the better part
of a half-hour.

Dispatch, Officer Tim Bradford,
badge 34831.

Log me in for overtime in
pursuit of a high-speed suspect.

LAPD!

Put your hands
outside the window!

Open the door from the outside,
and step out of the car!

You sidestep
over to your left,

face down on the ground,
arms out to the side.

You got him?

All good.

The ball is tipped,
intercepted by Weddle

Yes! Run, Weddle! Run!
He's at the 20, the 10...

Touchdown! Eric Weddle!

Um, I'm late.

Roger that.
Breakfast is almost ready.

No, no, no.
I'm I'm late.

Okay. Alright, I'll just get you
a a coffee to go.

I've got a travel mug
right here,

and you're

You're late, as in...?

Yeah.
Oh, boy.

Or girl.

How late?
Three days.

Okay. That doesn't necessarily
mean you're pregnant.

There are two things
in this world

that always run
on time

Swiss watches
and my cycle.

Right.

Okay, um

Wha Uh...

First, we should be
absolutely sure.

Yes, okay. Um...I've got
a staff meeting

first thing this morning,

but I'll pick up a test
on the way in,

and I'll call you
as soon as I know.

Okay, and

and no matter
what happens,

we'll make
the best of this.

Okay.

I mean,
talk about terrible timing.

Though, Henry was born

at a less-than-ideal time,

and he's the best thing
that's ever happened to me.

Not that I'm saying
I hope she's pregnant.

I Not that I'm saying
I hope she's not pregnant.

What am I saying?

Just wish she would call.

How hard is it
to pee on a stick?

Oh, I'm sorry.
Are Are you talking to me?

What's going on?

Roll call.

Is everything alright?

Hundred percent.

Nice of you to finally deign
to sit with us.

Enh, the front row's
too close to the boss.

Lopez still out?

Yeah.
Taking care of Wesley.

She's got him
back on his feet.

Good.

Okay, listen up.

Why is community policing
important?

Officer Chen?

Uh, because
it builds trust

between the police
and the public,

leading to a reduction
in crime.

Exactly.

And today, we're gonna do
a little trust-building.

Officer Nolan, so, you know
Dr. Sawyer at Shaw Memorial?

Uh, we went
to the same college, sir.

Eh, before I got my now-ex
pregnant with my son and

It was a yes or no question,
Nolan.

Sorry, sir.
Yes, I know her.

Good. She requested an officer
to assist with a seminar.

You're going.
What kind of seminar?

Don't know, don't care.

Whatever it is,
it's open to the public,

which means you have a chance
to show the community

that the LAPD does more
than just lock up people.

We do?

That's not funny.

And you don't want
to piss me off, Bradford,

considering what I have
lined up for you.
What's that?

Watts Rams need
additional coaches

for their fall clinic,

and you're gonna need company.

Officer West.

Your dad
is always bragging

how you're
a high-school football star.

Is he lying?

No, sir.

All-State safety,
four years running.

I could actually pull up
my highlight reel

if you want to
check it out.

It's on
my YouTube channel.

That won't be necessary.

Change into your PTs,
head out with Bradford.

Harper and Chen,

you will serve as liaisons

to the Mid-Wilshire
Community Council.

They're coming in
for a sit-down.

What is this?
The 1950s?

The boys go
to football practice

while us girls
attend a PTA meeting?

Fair point.

Guess there's really
only one way to settle this

Challenge coins.

Chief gave me mine
personally.

That was nice.

Mine was given to me
by the governor.

What is
a challenge coin?

How do you not
know that?

It's a medallion bearing
an organization's insignia,

given only to those
deemed worthy.

They're used to show respect
or, uh, settle minor disputes.

Okay.
Closest to the edge wins.

Oh!

Alright.
Harper, football's all yours.

Nah,
Bradford can have it.

You gotta be kidding me.
Nope.

Only football I watch
is English.

Whatever.

Community Council
will be here in 20.

Ma'am, would you like me
to prepare anything

for the meeting?
Uh, coffee.
Black, Officer...

Uh, Chen.
It's right there.

No, the only name I know
is Nolan's,

and you are not him.

So today,
you are Not Nolan.

I'm Not Nolan.

It's often
how I think of you.
Oh. Funny.

Do you have any advice
on how to get on her good side?

I actually don't know
that she has one,

so good luck.

Hey, nice move.

Ooh!
Great hands.

That is AJ.
Most pure talent on the team.

Kid's gonna get
recruited hard.

Oh, we don't care
about that.

When AJ joined us,
his grades were in the trash.

Now he's on the honor roll,
wants to go to college.

That's what we care about.

Hey, you, uh
you like that move?

It's alright
against a 12-year-old.

You're gonna have to up
your footwork

when you get to
real competition, though.

Nah, I run footwork drills
every morning. I'll be ready.

And at night?
Catching drills.

Harder to see the ball,
increases hand-eye coordination.

Any other questions?

No, not at this time.

AJ.

What is she doing here?

I'll be right back.

His mom.

Just got released
a few months ago.

Transition's been rough
on both of them.

What was she in for?

Armed robbery.
Pretty serious crew.

-It's Eric Weddle, man.
-Weddle, Weddle!

Hey.
Can we play?

Weddle.

Tim Bradford,
is that you?

You know him?

Man. We played against
each other in high school.

I sacked Bradford so hard
in the championship game,

he decided Fallujah was better
than turning pro.

Yeah, smart man.

The NFL's only getting
harder and faster.

Yo, you're Robert Woods.
I have your USC jersey at home.

Whoo!
Me too.

Hey, man, great to have you
back in L.A., bro.

Good to be back.

Alright.
Great.

Alright.
Thanks, guys.

Yo. You just bro-hugged
Eric Weddle.

Don't make it weird.

You know, it's not about
what you want.

I got to do
what I think is best.

Oh, now it's about you?
I don't want to go!

Everything okay?

AJ's dropping football.

Got a lot going on
right now.

Come on.

...tops, and then we go do
real police work.

Oh, I see why you chose this.
Lowest impact on our day.

Yep. Community meetings
are quick and easy.

Just don't promise them
anything.

Whatever the complaint,
just nod and say,

"We are aware
of the problem,

and we have a task force
working on it."

Ooh, a task force?

Yeah,
these busybody types

love it when cops say
"task force."

Okay. Well,
I'll just follow your lead.

Oh, I'm not talking.
You are.

Wh What?
I don't do
community meetings.

Go on.

Yeah.
Okay.

Hi. Uh, I'm Officer Lucy Chen,

and the Mid-Wilshire
Police Station

is proud to partner with you
today

There is
no partnering with us

until first you partner
with the Earth.
Oh, come on.

What's LAPD doing
about the city's

lack of
drought-tolerant plants?

Oh. Yes.

We are aware
of this problem,

and we have a task force
working on it.

Oh. Sweet.

Officer, can you do something
about my neighbor?

He's constantly
feeding the squirrels.

Uh...yes.

We have a task force
working on that.

A squirrel task force?

Yes, ma'am.
This is serious.

Squirrels attract coyotes,
and I have small dogs.

And any time I try
to talk to my neighbor,

he's just hateful.

I'm scared for the safety
of my babies.

Yeah. Uh, listen, why don't you
give me his address,

and I'll make sure that
the task force is following up.

Is there a task force
for abandoned cars?

There's one
in front of my apartment.

I'll give you
my address.

Hey, Jess, it's me.

I-I thought I would have
heard from you by now.

Are you
Are you still in your meeting?

Are you having trouble peeing?
Because the trick is to

You know, I got to go.
Call me when you know.

Hey, John.
Hey.

Appreciate you doing this.

My pleasure.
What are we doing?

They didn't tell you?
No.

Oh, we're hosting
our monthly free seminar.

Great. For who?

Pregnant mothers.

What's wrong?
Uh, nothing.

I couldn't be
more excited.

How's Wesley?

Driving me crazy.

He was stabbed.

Well, yeah, but it's not like
any major organs were damaged.

God, I miss cop humor.

Corporate world
is so buttoned up.

Everyone's always
running scared of H.R.

Is Stabby here?

No. His mom took him
to physical therapy.

I was planning a spa day
until you said

I can make two grand
for 8 hours' time.

Yep, and trust me,

you're gonna love
working private security.

I've done some moonlighting,
but nothing fancy like this.

Who am I guarding?

Mingus Kemp.

He's a high-end
jewelry broker from Vegas.

Comes to L.A. every month
to buy diamonds.

You'll keep him safe while our
driver runs you around town.

Anything else I need to know
about the protectee?

He thinks he's a player.

Inherited the business
from his dad.

He'll hit on you a little,
but he's mostly harmless.

Okay. Uh, I still get paid
if he gets k*lled, right?

Yeah.

I wouldn't let him
know that, though.

Hello, Ms. Clemons.

I'm Officer Bradford.
This is Officer West.

We met at the, uh
I-I remember.
What do you want?

Just want to make sure
everything's alright.

Pulled AJ off the team
so fast,

wanted to make sure
there wasn't a problem.

No problem.
Thanks for stopping by.

Everything okay, buddy?

He's fine.

How about you? You seem to be
moving out in a hurry.

Something going on?

Um, it's none
of your damn business.

Actually, it is,
Ms. Clemons.

You're still on parole
for armed robbery.

Your P.O. know
you're moving?

So, what?
You gonna violate me?

No, nobody wants that.
We're just here to help.

Get down!
Get down!

Control, 7-Adam-19.

We have a 246 with a firebomb
at our location.

Two masked suspects
fleeing south on Gramercy

in a black Impala.

So, you have no idea
who they were?

Not a clue.
Come on, Ms. Clemons.

I mean, two masked suspects
and a Molotov cocktail

that wasn't some random act
of v*olence.

You were targeted.

Tell me why.

Am I under arrest?

Of course not.
Then can I go?

Not yet.

Look, I just need
a list of the personal property

that was damaged
during the fire.

Hey, man. Hit me.

I wasn't gonna say it
earlier,

but, uh...you got
some serious talent.

If you're running drills
every morning on your own,

you clearly love
the sport.

Yes, sir.

I, uh...take this ball with me
everywhere I go.

Sounds like me.

You know, in some ways,
this game saved me.

How?

You know,
growing up in my house

was...a bit chaotic.

Yeah, I, um...

I know a little something
about that.

My old man had
a hair trigger.

Never knew
what would set him off.

And football was the only place
I had any control.

Yeah, I, um...I know a little
something about that, too.

Football taught me discipline,
teamwork.

It wasn't just a game.

Yeah?

And, uh, what game
are we playing right now, huh?

We connect over sports

and then I talk about my mom
behind her back?

I'd never ask you
to do that.

But, look, if you ever
need anything...

just let me know,
alright?

You're too pretty
to be a cop.

Sir, I think we should
keep this professional.

Of course. Of course.
How about a selfie?

Sorry, that would compromise
security.

Right. Right. Yeah.

No, um...you know,
I knew that.

That was That was
That was a test.

Hey, you want to see
something?

By the end of today,
this will be filled

with $2 million
in diamonds, Angela.

You ever seen, uh,
$2 million before?

Saw 10 times that in a drug raid
in a cartel stash house.

Had a bunch of brains
scattered across it, though.

Cool. Yeah.

Control, 7-Adam-15,
show us Premise Check, Code 6.

Copy that.

Okay, so,
according to Mr. Elson,

there are vagrants
squatting in the storm drain.

Great job.

We are about to go fishing
in the armpit of Los Angeles,

full of the complete
hepatitis alphabet,

not to mention rats.

You first.
Okay, it's disgusting,

but isn't the whole point
of community policing to

No, Not Nolan.

The whole point
of any kind of policing

is to do what I tell you.

Trust me, you don't want to be
good at community policing.

Why?

Once the higher-ups
see it,

then running
community meetings

will be all they will ever
let you do.

Okay.

LAPD.
Anyone in here?

What were they smoking?

Uh, it smells like b*rned donuts
from a plastic oven.

That's definitely meth.

And the pipe's still warm.

Keep your eyes open.

Mm-hmm.

Clear.

Clear.

Aaah!

Are you okay?

Behind you!

Hook him up.
Yeah.

Thank you.

He got me good.

Forget
what I said earlier.

Community meetings are clearly
all you're good for.

Trust me,

there's gonna be many times
your child's first year

where you're gonna want
to rush to the Internet

to check out their symptoms.

Resist that urge.

Yes?

Um...if the dad
was doing dr*gs

when we made
my baby...

There's no evidence
that a father's addiction

affects the baby.

Okay.
Thank you.

You're welcome.

Okay. Now it's time
to introduce Officer Nolan.

John?

Yes.

Officer Nolan
is gonna show you

how to properly install
an infant's car seat.

Yes, I will.
Yeah.

You can't
You can't do that?

No. I mean, pregnant mothers
feel more comfortable

when it comes
from a police officer.

Really?
I mean,
don't get me started.

Nine years to become
a doctor

and they trust
a handsome cop more?

Well, to be fair, a handsome cop
in a super-cool uniform.

Hi, guys.

I'm, uh, Officer Nolan,

and, um, uh, car seats
are the safest way

to transport your soon-to-be
bundles of joy,

and...it's the law.

So, uh...

installation
is super-simple.

We're gonna start
with the base.

Guys, they make this stuff
just idiot-proof.

It's backwards.

And it's...it's it's
this is forwards,

which is, of course
is wrong,

'cause you want it
backwards.

The baby has to face
the

Again, guys,
idiot-proof.

So, simply take
these security straps

and use the

I think
the word that you're looking for

is "latch."

"Latch."
Yes. I'm so sorry.

I have to take this call.

It can't wait?

It...

It really can't.

I'm I'm One

Yes? Hey.
How's it going?

Um...
No, no, I'm whispering

because I-I'm right
in the middle of a thing.

Right.
No, no, you can just tell me.

Get up.
You can't be here.

Get Get up.
No, you can't be here.

Get up.
The judge said.

She's my kid, too.
Hey, let her go.
No, get

Back off!
This is between us!

Hold it. Get over.
Give me your hands.

Are you okay?
Yeah. Thank you.

You're gonna need
stitches.

Thanks.

Something on your mind?

No, ma'am.

Yeah,
that's what I thought.

You're wrong about me.

Uh, no, I'm not.

I can do so much more
than just community meetings.

You're right. You're probably
really good at paperwork.

But you can't fight.

I can fight.

I've gone toe-to-toe
with plenty of suspects and won.

Not that one.

He's huge!

And yet, I took him
and his buddy.

You want to hit me right now,
don't you?

Yeah,
I see it in your eyes.

Someone a little more
your size.

Well, come on.

What?

Hit me, Not Nolan.

That is an order.

Hey
Do it for real!

Come for me like that tweaker
came for you!

Now!

Aah!

Stay down, and get used
to that position.

Because in case
you didn't know,

you are not a 6'2",
180-pound man.

Now, Tim might be
a good T.O.,

but he can't teach you
how to fight like a girl.

We get a higher show of force,
especially from men.

So, guess what,
sweetheart?

You are always
going to be tested,

and when you are alone
against a desperate suspect,

and you are between
them and freedom,

your thoughts can never be,
"Oh, my, he's bigger than me."

Look here, Not Nolan,

if you're going to survive
these streets as a 5'6" woman

and one of color,
no less

you better learn what these boys
don't know to teach.

You ever think
about having another kid?

I did, for the first
three of four years

after Oliver was born.

Then what happened?

Then I spent too much time
in emergency rooms.

I don't have to tell you

there's there's
so much tragedy out there.

I just I can't bring
another life into it.

Jess.

Hey.
Hey.

I-I-I couldn't get
in touch with you,

so I called Grey,
and he said you were he

Oh, my God.
What happened?

Just a Kn*fe fight. No big deal.
Are you okay?

I'm gonna leave
you two alone.

It's nice seeing you again.
Yes, yes, you, as well.

Thank you.

Uh...

I'm sorry
it took so long.

I just, uh...

I needed to have
some time to process.

No, okay.
No, I get it, I see.

Um...

so, you're pregnant.

No, I'm not.

Okay.

O-Okay, yeah,
that's great, too

But I want to be.

I'm sorry, you're gonna have
to help me out here

a little bit, Jessica.

I'm I'm a little
confused.

Yes, well, I was, too,
at first.

And when I took
the pregnancy test

and it came back negative,
I was just...

I was so disappointed.

And I-I-I couldn't
shake it.

No, I Okay.
Um...

It's just
a little surprising.

I know. I was
I was surprised, too.

Look, I I never wanted
to be a mom before.

But being with you...

it it changed me.

You see the good
in people.

You do the right thing,
even when it costs you.

I miss that part
of myself.

Are Are you...against
having another kid?

No. No.
No, I ju Um...

You're just throwing a lot
at me right now.

I know, I know.

And I'm not quite sure
what to say.

Okay,
then don't say anything.

Okay?
At least not yet.
Right.

I've had the whole morning
to think about this,

and now it's your turn.

We'll talk later.

Right.
Good idea.

Okay.
Okay.

I am ahead of schedule.

I'm never ahead
of schedule.

You're good.

Yes, I am.

You know, with my businesses
growing like crazy,

I actually think I need to hire
a security chief here in L.A.

I already have a job,
Mingus.

But does it pay you
a quarter mill a year?

Not at the present, no.

I haven't even gotten
to the perks yet.

Hey.
Hey, hey.

Police!
Move and you're dead.

What the hell
are you doing?

This is my cousin, Lev.

I asked him
to meet us here.

You okay?
Yeah.

Let's go.
Yeah.
What is her problem?

Only two more
nuisance complaints.

We can knock them out once
we get back on the street.

You were right.

I should've followed
your playbook

at the community meeting.

That was my bad.

So, uh, you got a challenge coin
from the governor.

What's he like?
You know what, Not Nolan,

I don't really do
chit-chat.

Uh, okay.
Uh, look.

Um...

I want to learn how to do
the job the way you do it.

Be like you.

No, you don't.

Are you kidding?

Y-You're
a decorated detective

with a storied
undercover career,

not to mention the governor

personally gave you
one of his challenge coins.

I mean, that's huge.

What's huge is the cost
of having a career like mine.

What do you mean?

Hopefully you never
find out.

Because none
of the commendations

or the promotions
or even the challenge coins

will ever make up
for what I've lost.

So don't be me.

I don't even want
to be me.

Are you sure
you're okay to keep working?

Officer Nolan.

What? Um...yes, sir.
What did you say?

Your arm you want to take
the rest of the day?

Oh, no. I'm I'm
No, I'm fine.

Thank you, I'm good.

Alright.

Um, sir...

how long had you been a cop
when your daughter was born?

Two years.
What was that like,

having a baby at home
and being on patrol?

Long days at work,
late nights at home.

Trying to master two jobs
at the same time.

It was hell.

Only good sleep I got was in the
back of my shop during lunch.

Yeah.

Yeah, but she was
worth it.

Yeah, kids always are.

Why are you asking?

No reason, sir.
Mm-hmm. How's Jessica?

She's great, sir.

Give her my best.
I will.

Hey. Hey.

I need your help.
What's wrong?

I'm I'm looking
for Officer Bradford.

He's out on patrol, son.
What's going on?

It's my mom.
She's missing.

My mom went to borrow
her cousin's car

so we could
get out of town,

but she never came back.

-When was this?
-Right after you all left.

Wait,
that was hours ago.

Have you spoken
with your cousin?

Yeah. He said
my mom never showed.

I-I tried calling,
texting.

I'm telling you guys,
something happened.

We believe you,
but now it's time for you

to be straight with us.

Okay. Does this have anything
to do with the people

who firebombed her car?

AJ, I know you're scared.
I get it.

But you're not betraying
your mom's trust

by telling us
what's going on.

Let us help her.

A few weeks back,
one of my mom's ex-boyfriends

started hounding her
about being a getaway driver

in some heist
he was putting together.

She agree to do it?
Hell no.

My mom isn't about
that life anymore.

She swore never to risk
going back to prison

and not being there
for me.

Okay, so she said no.
What'd the ex-boyfriend say?

He said he was gonna k*ll me
if she didn't do it.

That's why she pulled you
off the team,

why she wanted to get you
out of the city

to protect you.

What's the ex-boyfriend's
name?

Ian Shaunesy.
So if he grabbed her,

it was to force her
into pulling the robbery.

Which means
it's happening soon.

AJ, do you know
what the target is?

No, all I know is
that it's happening downtown.

Alright.
You guys get down there.

I'll get detectives
on this.

Put a BOLO out on the mom
and the ex-boyfriend.

It's gonna be okay.
Alright?

Outside of actually spotting
AJ's mother or her ex-boyfriend,

what exactly
are we looking for?

Robbery targets.

There are a dozen banks
and payday lenders

between here and Flower.

So, how do we
whittle it down?

Look for anything odd
or out of the ordinary.

Well, this is downtown L.A.
That describes everything.

What's up?
What's going on?

Why are you
patrolling downtown?

How do you know
where we are?

I just saw you drive by.

We, uh, got intel on
a possible heist in the area.

What's the target?

Unknown.

I'm on 5th and Hill.
You just passed me.

Working a security detail
on what could be
a potential target.

Gotta be honest with you,

I wouldn't hate
having an escort.
Woman:

Excuse me.
We need to leave now.

I am in the middle
of a conversation.

No, you're at
the end of it.

Say goodbye
to the pretty lady.

Hey, what
Come on.

Are you out
of your mind?

Go, go, go, go, go!

Police!

Give up the damn case.

What?
You're insured.

Give up the damn case,
or they'll k*ll us.

No, your job is
to protect my merchandise.

My job
is to keep you alive,

and I'm nine b*ll*ts
from failing.

Give up the case!

Wait! Hold fire!

Let's go, let's go.

Cover me.

Open the door.

Open the door!
Right now.

Open it.

Let's go!

Drop the g*ns!

Do it now!

Drop your g*ns
right now!

Let's go, back up.
Back away from the car.

Get down on your knees.

Down on your knees!
Spread your arms.

You okay?

I am now.

Step out of the car, get
your hands where I can see them.

Let's go.

They kidnapped me.
Forced me into this.

I know.
AJ told us everything.

But I got to place you
under arrest

until we work something out
with the D.A.

Put your hands up there.

Is it safe?

All clear.

Hey, hey, hey. No, no.
That's evidence now.

You'll have to come collect it
from the station

after we process it.

Can you do something?

Nope.

And this marks
the last stop

on our
community policing tour.

Bradford and West are facing off
against heist crews,

and we are here to...?

To talk to a neighbor
about feeding squirrels.

Sorry.

Make it up to me by getting
a start on that paperwork.

What?

Sir, your neighbors
are complaining

that you are
feeding squirrels.

So what?
Los Angeles
Municipal Code 53.06.5,

which says it is illegal
to feed wild animals.

Punishable by a fine
of up to $1,000,

and/or six months'
imprisonment.

They're squirrels.

Doesn't matter.

What happened
to your hand?

It was a lawn mower.
Are we done?

Yes, sir.
Have a good one.

Hey, uh, so,
should I mark that down

as being given
a verbal warning?

No, run
a background check.

You want to give me a hint
at what we're doing here?

The guy was missing
two fingers.

Damage like that was caused
by an expl*sive device.

Maybe he was
in the m*llitary.

He said
it was a lawn mower.

Ernie Bosk.

Records check are negative

on any m*llitary
or law-enforcement service.

You studied bombings
in the Academy?
Mm.

Did they cover
the UCLA bombings in 2009?

Yeah, of course. They recovered
an unexploded pipe b*mb.

With a red hair
inside of it.

You think that's him.

Well, we'll need a DNA sample
to be sure, but

Whoa, what are you doing?
Getting a warrant.

We don't need one if we can get
a sample from his trash cans.

And I can search that
without a warrant.

Okay.

What happens
if you get caught?

You know, if you're right,
this guy makes bombs.

You really want him
throwing one your way?

Not really.

Well, then you're gonna need
someone to distract him.

Hi. How are you?
What do you want?

Uh, to talk to you
about the importance

of drought-resistant
vegetation.

I know it's a boring topic,

but if you just give me
three minutes,

I guarantee that I will make it
worth your while.

Uh, each year, we waste
millions of gallons of water

on plants and flowers
that are non-conducive

to Southern California's
climate

I'm gonna stop you
right there.

I don't care.

Uh, uh, sir, please
Um, could

could I have
a glass of water?

I I've been out
all morning.

Maybe you should be
more drought-resistant.

Yes, sir.

The water?

Fine.

Sir? The water?

You a cop, too?

Uh, yeah.

That's my partner outside
conducting a lawful search,

so you just need
to relax.

Harper, he's running!

Hey.
7-Adam-15,

start me up another unit.

5611. Code 3.

Turn around.

Hands where
I can see them.

What the hell was that?

Burglar alarm system.

I built it myself.

It's my own private DMZ.

There are pressure plates
all throughout the floor.

They're rigged to IEDs.

You take one wrong step,

they'll be cleaning you
off the ceiling with a squeegee.

Chen!
No.

Harper,
don't come inside the house.

It's booby-trapped.

No, stay! Don't come in.
It's rigged.

Where's Bosk?

In the back room.

He's arming a b*mb,
a big-ass b*mb.

You got to get clear
of the house,

radio the b*mb squad,

and clear the neighborhood.

Mr. Bosk,
you don't need to do this.

Why not?

I'm caught.

May as well
go out with a bang.

How long ago
did you rig the house?

Months?
Years?

Almost a decade.

I've been waiting
that long

for cops to show up
on my doorstep.

A decade.

Avoiding
pressure plates.

Let go of the wire
slowly.

Turn around.
Hands behind your back.

Do it now!

Don't you want me to disarm
the bombs before you cuff me?

Nope.

My guess is
you'd enter a code

that would set it all off.

So we're going out
the window.

Hey.

Uh, house is still
booby-trapped,

but he didn't finish rigging
the fertilizer b*mb, so...

Nice work.
You got him?

Uh-huh. Yeah.
Alright.

You gonna puke?

No. No. No.

Maybe.

How you doing?

Well, my hands stopped shaking
about 15 minutes ago.

That's a good sign,
right?

Yep.

Oh, hey, um, I just wanted
to say...thanks.

You're welcome.

Sorry if I was such
a...you know.

Douche?
Yeah.

Uh, but listen, please come be
my head of security.

I'll give you
a 100K bonus.

No.
It's not about the money.

All today did was remind me
how much I love being a cop.

All these officers,

including the two
that saved our bacon

they're my family.

And I guess
I'm not ready to say bye.

However, I will take
a "save your life bonus"

if you're still
feeling generous.

Hey.

Nice working
with you today.

Yeah, you, too.

Look, I was wrong
to discourage you today.

Go as far as you want
in this job.

You say you want to be a cop
like me, screw that.

Be better than me.

You got what it takes,
Not Nolan.

I heard you call me Chen
back at the house.

I know you know my name.

Um...would it be alright

if I asked you for advice
from time to time?

Sure.

Just not too often.

I don't want to mess up
the whole lone wolf persona

I got going on.

It's, um, presumptuous,
I know,

but I was hoping
we'd have cause to celebrate.

But we don't, do we?

I'm sorry.

And that's it?
There's

There's no room
for discussion?

Jessica, um...

I love being
a father

And I would love to be
a mom.

And I want that for you.
I do.

But for me,

I'm not ready
to be a father again.

Not just yet.

Okay.

What does that mean?

You're already through

the steepest part
of your career,

but me, I'm...

I'm still just
finding my footing.

And I gave up my first path
20 years ago.

And I can't
do that again.

But if you can
just be patient with me,

we can come back to this

in a year,
two years tops

Years? No.

Yeah, Nolan, um...

it doesn't exactly
work like that for women.

I mean, I can't
I can't just sit around

and wait for the hopes

that maybe someday
you'll be ready.

I would resent you.

And I would hate you.

I don't ever want that.

So, what does that mean?

I'm I'm gonna go home.

And I'll come back
tomorrow

for my stuff
when you're not here.

Jess

There you go.

Thanks.

You ready?

Hike!

Attaboy!
Nice!

There you go!

You know, AJ,
back in high school,

I was ranked one of the top
quarterbacks in the state.

Weddle:
I could believe that.

The interceptions you threw me
were always perfect spirals.

So let's see
if you still got the skills.

You and AJ versus me
and the rook.

Let's go.
Let's do this.

Show 'em what you got,
baby.

I always do, Mama.

Hey, uh, don't get
your ankles broke, old man.

Kid, I am 26.
Don't play me.

Ooh, and you about
to get dusted by a 14-year-old.

How sad is that?

LAPD has great
medical coverage, right?

Yeah, yeah, very funny.

Real funny when you're gonna be
on the ground smashed.

Five-Mississippi.

Whoa!
Old lady, huh?

Okay.
Make it three.

Hike!
One, two, three.
