I'm not a kid anymore, Dad.

I'm going to college in a few months.

Are you gonna shadow me across campus?

Don't think I haven't considered it.

Actually, I was thinking of moving.

- To where?

- Here.

I think it's a great idea.

- Where are you?

- An open house.

Are you are you and

Chris, uh, moving in together?

You guys are happy, right?

Do you want to get dinner sometime?

I owe it to Chris to end

things the right way with him.

Ask me again. After.

Deal.

Anything else you need me to install

Yes. But I couldn't possibly impose

Just arrest me already.

Oh, you're for sure under arrest.

[BREATHES HEAVILY] Then let's go.

I just gotta call my

Ah, well, I'm glad you got a plan,

First, we're gonna

take you to the hospital

and get you checked out

before we can process you.

Shall we?

How about next time,

you run and I drive?

Let me get back to you.

[HORNS HONKING]

Thought you said Dominique was

supposed to meet us here at noon.

She was.

She's usually early.

Maybe she was up late studying.

- Or partying.

- [LAUGHS]

You check her ClipTalk?

It won't tell us much.

It's her cover page.

- Her what?

- You know the kids.

They have their real

social media accounts

and then the fake ones that

they give to their parents.

Are you

And you're okay with that?

She tells me everything.

I don't need to stalk her.

She tell you why she is late?

No.

But I do know where her dorm room is.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

LUNA: Hi. You must be Marta.

Dominique has said the

nicest things about you.

Oh, right. You're the parents.

Yeah. We're the parents.

And we're looking for Dominique.

She was supposed to

meet us at the hotel.

I'm sure if you guys had plans,

she'll be home any minute.

Marta, I appreciate you

having my daughter's back,

but now is not the time

to cover for your roommate.

Her bed's made. It hasn't been slept in.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Honestly, I don't know where she is.

Let's just call her.

We have. Several times.

Is this her desk?

Yeah.

She's studying finance.

These are all humanities courses.

Oh. Um

So she didn't tell you

that she switched majors?

No, she did not.

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

When was the last time you seen her?

Uh, just after dinner.

Like 12 hours ago?

I'm sure she's fine. She

has all of these rules.

Uh, never leave your drink unattended,

be smart about social

media, never walk alone,

always keep a phone charger with you.

"Wade's Way." [CHUCKLES]

I thought I was talking to myself.

Did she happen to tell you

where she was going after dinner?

Saint Genesius.

The church?

Just a couple bumps and bruises.

The scrape on his forearm

is about the worst of it.

Oh, thank you. And,

uh, thanks for the ice.

Any time. I'll get the

hospital clearance form for you.

Be right back.

- NOLAN: Hey.

- Hey.

Ryan checks out. We can

take him to processing.

Great. I just got a

call from the movers.

Turns out the manager

wasn't blowing me off.

So they found the bracelet?

One of the movers fished

it out of the trash.

Why was one of her prized

possessions in the garbage?

He's looking into it.

He'll call me back.

Hmm.

Hey, can we go now?

I've never seen anyone

so anxious to go to jail.

Hmm.

You know, you haven't said

anything since we pulled out.

I'm just thinking about things.

I'm a good listener.

[INHALES, EXHALES DEEPLY]

Uh yeah, I-I need

to break up with Chris.

- Finally.

- What?

Look, he's a good dude and all,

but, like [CHUCKLES]

nowhere near your level.

I just don't know how to handle it.

You know, I don't want to hurt him.

Okay. Well, let's act it out.

You know, if you've rehearsed it,

then it'll be a breeze.

Okay.

Um

the process of buying a house together

has made me think

about some things and

Wait, hold on. Time out. Time out.

Y-You're buying a house together?

T Yikes.

That is not helpful.

You're right. I-I'm sorry.

- As I was saying

- Yeah.

[CLEARS THROAT] Okay.

Chris, it's not fair

that we move in together

when I'm having this much hesitation.

And you're such a great guy.

You know, you deserve someone

who is sure of all of

What

Are you crying?

[VOICE BREAKING] I'm

sorry. It's just that, um

It's okay.

I thought that everything that we've

been through together,

like, this meant something.

What are you doing? What are you doing?

- I'm channeling Chris's pain.

- What?!

You need to be prepared for

an emotional response, okay?

Let's just take it from the top.

This time, I'll go the angry road.

- No.

- Yes.

What

DISPATCHER: 7-Adam-19,

we have an R.P. claiming

there's a Na'vi breaking into a car.

Uh, a what?

Na'vi. It's an inhabitant

of Pandora from "Avatar."

Ask her if it's a full-grown one,

'cause those things

are like 9 feet tall.

Aaron, it's a fictional character.

LAPD.

Whoa.

Oel ngati kameie.

Excuse me. What?

I-It's Na'vi. It means "I see you."

[CHUCKLES] Sir, we received a report

that you're trying to

break into this vehicle.

No. No, no, no. This is This is mine.

I just locked my keys inside.

Even worse, I locked my

tickets in there, too,

and the preview screening

starts in like 20 minutes.

For what movie?

BOTH: "Avatar: The Way of Water."

Yeah, man! I cannot wait!

I already got my

tickets for opening day.

Oh, man. It's gonna be so great.

Okay. Look. We can help

you get into the car,

but we need to see some

identification first.

Is that in the car as well?

No. It's in my loincloth, but it's

- it kinda slipped underneath

- Uh, OK okay.

We're good. Could you please run

to the shop and grab my slim jim?

- Yeah.

- I'm gonna take a flyer on this one.

- Oh, I'm so excited!

- Oh, there's Oh!

Oh, sir [CHUCKLES] You're

You're just covered in blue paint.

Oh.

Hey!

Genny. Hey. No one

told me you were here.

I'm here to see Nolan.

He was trying to track down my bracelet.

The one with the charms?

What happened to it?

Uh, well, I tracked down the movers.

They said they saw a

kid throwing it away.

They said it sounded like Tyler.

But he knows I love that thing.

Why would he

Because he's mad at me and

blames me for the divorce.

- I should go.

- You want me to talk to him?

No. It's fine. I got it.

- Thanks again.

- Of course.

[BUZZER]

This is taking too long.

We'll get you in front of a

judge just as soon as we can.

I don't care what they charge me with.

I need to post bail and get out of here.

Just calm down. You'll get your turn.

girlfriend's gonna bail him out?

What the hell was she doing there?

Seriously.

You know how many

times I tried to get her

- Not now, Luna.

Avenge me.

thy serious hearing,

to what I shall unfold.

We are looking for our

daughter, Dominique Grey.

Do you know her?

Thou shall be bound to revenge

We seek thou helpist

That is the lady Ophelia,

Another plays in her stead.

Hey, hey, speak English, dammit!

Dom's not here. She flaked.

Her understudy's playing Ophelia.

Dom? She hates that name.

Yeah, and she gets stage fright

ordering from the drive-through.

When's the last time you saw her?

At last night's show.

- Before the cops were called.

- Called for what?

Gertrude saw her boyfriend

with another girl,

and the two went at it.

We had to call the cops.

Dom and Gertrude left after that.

Where'd they go?

No idea.

Gertrude wanted to burn her

boyfriend's vinyl collection.

Maybe she did.

All I know is neither

of them showed up today.

Should we start calling hospitals?

We're gonna find her.

And she's gonna have a crazy

story about losing her phone

and crashing with a friend of a friend.

And forgetting that her

parents were flying in today?

No, that is not like her.

Experimental theater is not like her.

I don't think we can rule out anything.

Here she is.

Hey.

Sergeant Grey. Mrs. Grey.

Detective Olivia Terry.

I hear you're worried

about your daughter.

Yes, Dominique. She's a student at NYU.

We flew out for a visit,

and she never showed up.

How long?

We were supposed to meet up around noon.

She was last seen at

10:00 p.m. last night.

You know what I'm gonna say, right?

We have to wait 24 hours for

a missing persons. I'm aware.

But we do know that there was a fight

at the performance she was at.

Cops were called.

Here at Saint Genesius?

Yes.

She may have gone with a friend

to confront one of the combatants.

We just don't have

any names or addresses.

Look, she's a college student

feeling her new freedoms.

Are you a parent?

I'll get you the names

and give you a call.

But remember, your

badge means nothing here.

Don't go all cowboy on my streets.

You need something, reach out.

Thank you.

Okay, one more visit today

and you guys get a free X-ray.

Yeah, you get your card punched

every time you get your face punched.

[LAUGHS]

Should I assume that

prisoner brawl in holding

equals a boatload of paperwork?

- Uh, technically, it's two boatloads.

- Mm.

EMT: Move! We're coming through!

MAN: Folks, we got a code blue.

Let's get that crash cart prepped.

What happened?

Found him in his cell unresponsive.

One, two, three.

No pulse. His heart stopped

twice on the way here.

CELINA: As the arresting officer,

it's my responsibility to keep him safe.

Yes, but we have no

idea what went wrong,

so let's not make any assumptions.

But what happens if he

doesn't pull through?

an in-custody death.

NOLAN: Sir, for what it's worth,

I don't believe Officer Juarez

did anything wrong.

I hope you're right.

I'm gonna have to put

you on admin leave.

- W Am I fired?

- You are not fired,

but you cannot act in a police

capacity until you're cleared.

Until then, I'm gonna

need your g*n, your badge,

and your body cam.

You'll get these back once

you're cleared of any wrongdoing.

♪♪

And if I'm not cleared?

If you're not cleared,

you could be facing m*rder charges.

♪♪

- You hear about Ryan Davis?

- Yeah.

You were the acting Watch Commander

- when the death occurred?

- Yep.

Where's Officer Juarez now?

In interrogation with Officer Nolan.

You allowed her T.O. to wait with her?

He's her union rep.

A-and you don't think that's

a conflict of interest?

That's up for I.A. to

decide, and they cleared him.

Once we're finished with Juarez,

we'll need to talk to you.

To get your official statement.

And so you can walk us through exactly

what protocols you followed

after the death occurred.

Before we get started,

I just wanted to say

these kinds of interviews are

uncomfortable for all of us,

but Mr. Evers and I are here to

protect the city of Los Angeles.

WESLEY: Which means we'll

be conducting this interview

as if you were a suspect

in a m*rder investigation.

- Got it?

- Mm-hmm.

This has been explained

to Officer Juarez.

You're aware as a police officer,

you do not have the

right to remain silent?

Yes. I.A. advised me

of my Lybarger rights.

Let's jump right in.

After you tackled Mr. Davis,

did you notice any

signs of a head injury?

No, he seemed perfectly fine.

He didn't exhibit any,

um, confusion, dizziness,

sensitivity to light?

N-not that I observed, but

we took him to the hospital

just to make sure.

Before the encounter,

did Mr. Davis do or say anything

that might have made

you want to hurt him?

N-no. No, of course not.

Remember, you don't

have anything to hide.

WESLEY: That's what

we're here to determine.

If you did everything by the book,

that's good for both you and the city.

It limits our liability.

But until we know for sure

whether your actions contributed

to Mr. Davis's death,

we need to be prepared.

To prosecute me for m*rder?

Yes.

WESLEY: Shall we continue?

She's never even mentioned

a friend named Gertrude.

I'd remember.

Well, they're close enough for

Dominique to follow her here

to confront her boyfriend.

Looks like something

else she kept from us.

Have you seen this girl?

SGT. GREY: [CLAPPING] Hey. Hey.

Can I get your attention?

We are looking for our

daughter, Dominique Grey.

My wife and I have a photo.

If you wouldn't mind taking a look,

we'd appreciate it.

Hey, hey, you.

- Do you know who thi

- [SIGHS] Wha What's going on?

LUNA: This is our daughter, Dominique.

You might know her as Dom.

We're her parents. We've

been searching for her.

- Dom is missing?

- Yes.

We heard that she might

have come here last night

with her friend Gertrude.

Yeah, that's that's

me. I'm I'm Gertrude.

When's the last time you saw her?

[SCOFFS]

We came over to confront my boyfriend

about that skank he brought

to the show. I punched him.

And then we started making out.

All right, that tracks so far.

Where was Dominique in all this?

Well, Sian brought co-conut water

and that's not really Dom's scene,

so I think she got a

cab back to the dorms.

Fine. Thank you.

If she reaches out, please call us.

- Okay?

- Yeah. Totally.

Now we know why she didn't tell

us about her friend Gertrude.

Yeah.

♪♪

NOLAN: You can go home, you know?

No, I can't.

What if I'm the reason that guy's dead?

I don't think you are.

I looked at the body cam footage.

That was a takedown any one

of us had done 100 times.

More likely it happened

during the fight in processing

or a preexisting condition.

But even if he had an aneurysm

and I'm the reason it went off today

and not five years from now

Ryan robbed a jewelry store.

He ran from the police.

He made those choices.

I know what you're going through.

In my case, I was directly responsible.

I sh*t and k*lled a man

who pointed a g*n at me.

And it took me a long time

to come to terms with that.

But I did.

How?

How can you do your job

knowing it might happen again?

By focusing on the good I do.

I don't know if I can.

How did Ryan die?

We're trying to determine that now.

Did he have any health issues?

I don't know. We haven't

been dating that long.

Do you know where he's been staying?

He kind of just bounces

from motel to motel.

What about his baby?

What baby?

He has a kid. The mom bailed.

When he does jobs, he has this

soundproof box he puts the baby in.

He does what?

So the crying doesn't call attention.

You don't have the baby?

We looked into Ryan's

possessions and found this.

Well, he's not staying

at a Four Seasons.

That narrows it down a little.

There's still dozens of low-end

hotels and motels we need to search.

Everybody, listen up.

We have an eight-month-old infant

that was abandoned

four to five hours ago,

and we need to call every

motel within a five mile radius.

Then 10, then 15.

Based on what Ryan's girlfriend told us,

this has been Ryan's

M.O. for a while now.

So he knows how to stay under the radar.

He probably checked in under

a pseudonym and paid with cash.

Well, that's gonna make

it hard to find him.

Exactly, so start with

the lowest of the low,

places that rent by the

hour and don't check I.D.

and work your way up.

We don't stop until we

find this missing kid.

Got it?

[HORNS HONKING]

Okay, so she helps Gertrude

confront the boyfriend, then what?

I don't know.

Excuse me. Can I take a look at your

security footage from last night?

Sorry, no can do.

I'm a police officer.

That says Los Angeles Police Department.

I don't think that does

any good in New York.

Then there's the whole warrant thing.

Look, man, my daughter is missing.

We know she was at a

party at this building.

I just need to check to see

if she left with someone or alone.

I need to stop you there.

I would love to help

you out, but I can't.

I don't have the authority,

the privacy of our tenants.

D-do you hear what I'm telling you?

Hey, and we're gonna find her, okay?

Hey.

I'd rather you have my back

Excuse me.

Can I take a second, please?

Um, okay.

Am I a good cop or a bad cop?

I'm Sergeant Grey.

You, um, drove this girl last night?

Where'd you pick her up?

Where'd you drop her off?

Who are you again?

Sergeant Wade Grey.

Do you have a badge?

That's not NYPD.

Are you from the boonies or something?

L.A.

So why do I gotta talk to you?

The girl is missing.

Any information would

be greatly appreciated.

Oh, of course. Yeah.

I, um, picked her up outside some place.

Big party was popping off.

Dropped her at Sixth and Avenue C.

She lives on Fifth and B.

There was a truck blocking the street,

so she asked me to let her out.

Did you notice anyone following her?

Anyone that may have looked suspicious?

In that neighborhood?

Yeah, everybody.

I'm really sorry I couldn't

be any more help, guys.

One more question.

- Did she tip?

- Uh, yeah.

How much?

25%.

If you guys don't mind, I

I got another ride I gotta go pick up.

Yeah. Thanks for your time.

- She always tips big.

Yeah.
