Morning.

You weren't kidding when you
said we were riding in style.

Ah, don't get too excited. Comfort?

It's not a word used to
describe military transports.

The good news is, is that the hop

between Vegas and Los Angeles
takes about an hour or so.

Ah, that's fine.

With Bailey in DC, there's
not a lot to rush home to.

Well, you know, my first wife,

she used to say that distance,
that's just a test to see

how far love will travel.

- That's poetic.
- Yeah, I know.

Of the three of them,
she was my favorite.

Everett give you any grief
after I left the takedown?

No.

For a master of the
universe/merchant of death,

he's been pretty circumspect
about the possibility

of life without parole.

Oh, here they come.

What? That's...

- No, no.

- But seriously, that's...

for a full year while
they were still married.

A Croatian enforcer
named Bozac, Captain Cannibal,

Geraldine Gage, and...

- Don't say Oscar.
- And Oscar.

Luckily enough, all
the prisoners were outfitted

with a GPS wristband.

Absolutely.

At least the data should give

before they did.

This is a citywide tactical alert.

It's Garza.

I want you to put your military

How does Everett play this thing out?

Well, it's a binary decision.

Run or hide.

I mean, clearly, he's got
almost infinite resources,

which strongly suggest he'll run,

get out of town as fast as he can.

But that comes with extensive risks,

given the massive amount
of state and federal resources

mobilizing to catch him.

You think he'll go to ground?

It's the unexpected play.

I have to imagine he has
safe houses in LA he can use.

What do you think?

I think Heath Everett believes himself

to be the smartest guy in every room.

So, yeah, he's gonna get a big
kick out of lying low in style

while hundreds of cops

looking for him.

That's a good call.

Bozac's been in jail for
so long, most of his crew

has been k*lled or in prison,

but there's an old safe house
still operating in West Adams.

Let's go check it out.

You can't beat yourself up.

No? Watch me.

We knew, right?

We knew that Everett had
almost infinite resources.

And we went the extra mile
on every aspect

of our security protocols.

Sometimes you just get
outspent and outhustled.

The only thing that matters
is running him down quickly

before anyone else gets hurt.

I assume you're monitoring
the phone network?

Of course.

But if we use it to grab Everett,

we are gonna risk
burning it as a resource.

Isn't that tomorrow's problem?

No, not when tomorrow,
we might be able

to use it to thwart a t*rror1st attack

or stop an assassination. No.

Then we figure a way to
corroborate the information

we get from them.

We could have got it from
any alternative source.

We gotta try.

Elena, I want real-time surveillance

on the network, OK?

Focus it on Everett.

No, I know. I know. I know.

Just... just do what I say, OK?

OK.

Just wait on my call.

Is everyone in place?

Yeah.

You sure this is gonna work?

If we have to go in and get him,

it's going to be a bloodbath.

It'll work.

All Elena's gonna do is reach out

to confirm that address is
one owned by a shell company

we know Everett controls.

Once that happens,
he's gonna get a heads up.

They'll all bug out,

assuming we're miles away
from here, so...

True.

But they are all armed
for w*r and willing to fight.

That's why we brought
the sound cannon.

Elena, make the call.

Oh. Relax! Relax!

I just wanna make you
an offer I don't think

you're gonna want anyone else to hear

Save your breath.

I don't take bribes.





And 10 million more
if I'm still free in a year.

Not interested.

You really should think a little

before you speak, Sergeant.

This is untraceable money
in a Cayman Island account.

All you have to do is
let me walk out of here.

You tell them I got
the better of you and escaped.

And then you go from
Sergeant Bradford, poor person,

to George Clooney on the Amalfi Coast.

And I can trust you'll just
pay me after I let you go?

That's insulting.

No, what's insulting is that you think



That's a parking ticket!

I'm worth billions.

What means something to me is my word.

That you can take to the bank,
along with the $10 million.

Here's the thing, Everett.

I'm a simple guy.

I like where I live and what I do.

I don't need that kind of money.

I don't even want it.

Maintaining my integrity?

That's priceless.

You're making a mistake.

I make them every day.

Yeah, well, trust me,

this mistake will come back
to haunt you.

You have my word on that.

What are you building, Geraldine?

- My friend Marsha's house.
- [GRUNTS]

It's where I wished I lived
when I was little.

- Why?
- My house was small and noisy.

I got punished a lot.

Control, we're Code-6 at Holmby Park.

Eyes on fugitive Geraldine Gage.

- Send backup.

We're not gonna let her

Hey, can everybody get back, please?

All right, so what's the game plan?

Yeah, we're gonna do
this really carefully.

I can ask my mom if you can
come over and go in our pool.

We have a slide and a diving board.

No one likes a showoff, Riley.

But I haven't been
swimming in forever.

Oh, hey. Sorry.

We're not actually here for you.

We're here to take the girls
for ice cream.

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

What? I want ice cream.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You can't come with us 'cause
you're holding that knife.

[ALL GRUNTING]

Hands behind your back.

I really wanted that ice cream.

[HANDCUFFS CLICKING]

You know, maybe we'll
stop by a drive-through

on the way to the station.

Aw, thanks.

You wanna ride in the back
with me and make out?

There is nothing like a day on the job

to remind you how quickly
life can change.

Seriously.

I mean, Geraldine became
a completely different person

in the blink of an eye.

I mean, I'd say
she became her true self,

you know, without all
the filters and restraints

- that we all put on.
- All right.

Sure, but those filters
and restraints are necessary.

Society falls apart without them.

I agree, but you can't tell me

that most of those
restraints aren't driven

by a sense of fear,
you know, fear of being judged,

fear of failure. I don't know.

Maybe the world would be
a better place if more of us

stood up and spoke out. [SIGHS]

Some of us.

If some of us spoke out,
like your boyfriend.

Oh, I totally forgot about that.

His mom is in our house.

What are you gonna do?

I should let Tim handle it.

I know. I know.

I can't believe Oscar got away.

I don't wanna talk about it.

Harper.

You got a minute?

IA's decision came down?

Yeah.

We should probably
go somewhere private.

Nope. Just tell me now.

Am I out?

No.

Thank God.

But you have been removed
from the Detective Bureau.

What?

Starting tomorrow,
you're back on patrol duty.

For how long?

Until further notice.

- Is this a demotion?
- No, no.

No, you're still a detective.

You'll just be back in uniform.

[SIGHS]

Hey, this is a test.

Keep your head down,
and I mean way down.

Don't give them an opportunity

to kick you off the force for good.

I understand.

I'm sorry.

He's right.

You'll get through this.

I'll help you.

Does that mean you'll get
back into uniform with me?

- God, no.

Let's get cleaned up and find
the fanciest restaurant in town

to drown our sorrows in.

[DOOR CLICKS]

Timmy, is that you?

Um, no, Mrs. Bradford, it's me.

Tim is still finishing up
at the office.

It's been a busy day.

I saw the news. Is everyone OK?

Mostly, yeah.

Can I help in here?

Yes, please.

You can help me chop those vegetables.

- Yeah.
- Please call me Joy.

OK, I will.

You know, I'm glad that
it's just the two of us.

Yeah?

Yeah, 'cause I want to
apologize for this morning.

Well, that was fully Tim's fault.

Oh, I don't think so.

You know about Tim's father.

Yeah, I do.

I'm so sorry.

That must have been awful.

Even worse for Tim.

It's interesting.

Even as a child, he was a protector.

And the first people he would protect

would be me and his sister, right?

And sometimes Tim
would jump in, literally.

And he'd force his father
to take all that anger

and turn it toward him.

And more often than not,
I would let him.

That...

you were being abused.

You were terrified.

That's... that is not your fault.

No, I should have been the protector.

It was my job, not his.

And that's why he doesn't
tell me things.

Because he doesn't think
I can handle any drama.

So he keeps me from it.

And, you know,

I want to know my son so badly.

I want to know
what's going on with him.

A mother should be someone
you feel safe to talk to,

someone that you want to
go to because you know

they'll make things better.

Yeah.

You know, I...

I really think it's
possible for you guys

to have that relationship still.

But maybe the first step could be,

you know, telling him how you feel.

- [DOOR CLICKS]
- Hey.

Sorry I'm late.

Should we order...

- oh, hey.
- Hey.

Everything all right?

- Yeah.

No, it will be.

I'm gonna... I'm gonna get
changed before dinner.

- OK?
- OK.
