Bailey?

Bailey, you okay?

Bailey.
Give me your belt.

Your belt. Give me your belt.

Control, this is
Detective Lopez.

I have a fully engulfed
structure fire

at 1600 Quiet Valley Lane
in Newhall.

I need fire rescue
and an RA

for a woman with a puncture
wound to her left leg.

Fred's still in there.

Don't move.

We have to help him!

Hey, whoa, whoa!
What are you doing?

I'm fine.

You're not fine.
Come on.

Back in bed.
Back in bed.

Watch your legs.

How's the patient?

Did they find Fred?

I'm afraid so.

His body sustained extensive
damage in the expl*si*n,

but the Deputy Fire Chief
made a positive ID.

I'm sorry.
I know you were close.

I thought we were.

Then he turned out to be
a serial k*ller,

so it would seem that
the guy I liked

was just a disguise
he was wearing.

Seems like he knew
we were onto him ‐‐

wanted to go out
on his own terms ‐‐

one last fire.

Hey, you okay?
I heard you got the guy.

Thanks to Nolan
and Bailey.

So we need to close out
the case tomorrow.

Do you mind
partnering with Lopez?

Yeah,
whatever you need.

Sarge, I was hoping
I could take the day tomorrow,

just to help Bailey
get settled at my place.

I told you I'd be fine
in my apartment.

I'm sure you would be,
but I'm not budging on this.

I don't want to impose.

It's not an imposition.

Okay, here we go.

Watch your step.

You're pretty good
on those.

Gymnast all through
high school and college.

If you can sprain it, twist it,
or dislocate it, I have.

All I want is a couch.

You don't want to go
straight to bed?

Not yet.

First, I'm gonna have
a big cry and eat some carbs,

probably cry again,

then I can sleep.

Okay.

I will get the tissues
and ice cream.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

So I rolled a stop sign.
What's the big deal?

No, you ran a red light
and a stop sign,

and when we tried to
pull you over,

you flipped us off and led us
on a medium‐speed pursuit.

I was late for an appointment
with Orchid, my life coach.

Well, she's doing
a terrible job.

Go stand over there.

Is there anything we can do
about this lighting?

Hey, so I've been
meaning to talk to you

about our bet
from the treasure hunt.

The bet I won?
No, the bet I won.

I had the gold
in my hands.

Because I stopped to arrest
an armed gunman.

Eh, technically,
I arrested him.

All you did was stand there
with your arm out.

Which is even more
impressive.

Sir, what do you think?

What?

You okay, sir?

Something wrong
with the booking slip?

No. No.
What do you need?

An umpire.

Um, who do you think won
our treasure hunt bet?

It was a tie.
Oh...

We need a rematch.
Oh, I have an idea.

Why don't we race each other
in an escape room?

Hard pass.

No,
we need a neutral party

to decide the terms
of the competition.

And that would be me.
Okay.

I'm gonna assign each of you
a penal code violation

at random.

First one to make
their arrest wins.

Officer Chen,
your crime is 266i ‐‐

You didn't?

Hmm.
It's unfair.

So is life.
Deal with it.

Hmm.

Oh, thank you.

Is there any way
I can get a single?

No. I'm afraid not.

Maybe I can make a donation

to the policemen's fund
or something.

Okay, don't add bribery
to your charge.

It's a whole other
stack of paperwork.

Let's go.

What if I give you

I know about
a real crime.

I could cut a deal, right?

Like in the movies.

That depends.
What's the crime?

They're alleging you b*at a man
to death with a tire iron.

Dude deserved it.
He's banging my ex‐wife.

That's a street violation.
That demands repercussions.

Right. Sadly, street violations
don't hold up in court.

Says here there's a witness.

Yeah, some nosy old man

saw the whole thing.

Well, that's a problem.
Why?

He's the one that's watching us

Yes, and up 'til recently,

you've always chosen

But now, the way

I think that's a bit extreme.

I've ever seen that turn out ‐‐

you end up disbarred

Okay, I think that ‐‐

I'll let you know if
there's gonna be a service.

Okay, bye.

I made breakfast.

You sure did.

I was feeling
a little powerless,

You're not gonna

This smells amazing.

Who was that
on the phone?

Fred's old captain.

His family's dealing

so I'm contacting some

That's me.
I'll take this real quick.

Hey, what's up?

I just wanted to call

Bailey's doing.

different kinds of pancakes.

I'm not sure

What's next?
Uh, cleaning.

Then organization.

She can't fix what happened,

Uh, well,
she's staying with me.

Yeah, well,
when she changes the drapes,

just roll with it.
Right.

Thanks for checking in.
I gotta go.

I am so sorry, David,
but can you repeat that?

When were you at Lake Mead
with Fred?

Last Fourth of July.

And you were with him
the whole time?
Yep.

It was supposed to be
a week‐long camping trip,

but, uh, a couple days in,
he got a nasty stomach bug.

He got so dehydrated,
I had to take him to Henderson.

He spent the rest of the trip
in the hospital.

Never thought that'd be
the last time I'd ever see him.

And he will be missed.

I will let you know
if there's any details

about the funeral.

Take care, okay?
Thanks, Bailey.

You too.

Okay, I know
I'm on pain pills and all,

but you heard
what I just heard, right?

We know Fred was in Nevada
July 8th,

and that lined up
with an unsolved arson‐homicide.

But he was in the hospital.

Fred has an alibi.

That means Fred was set up,

and the real k*ller
is still out there somewhere.

What about the watch

and all the keepsakes
I found in his house?

Whoever framed Fred
must have planted them there,

counting on us
finding them.

I gotta call Lopez,

have her reopen
the investigation.

Don't just call.

You need to go into work.

Find that bastard.

Are you sure?

We have a deal,

Oh. Yeah. Maybe.

Is that really your focus?

Come on.

I know that you bribed Nell

Yes.

Um, she's selling
psychiatric dr*gs?

Oh, the whole
"westside buffet."

What's Sloan's last name?

Hey, any news?

Valley Hospital in Henderson
verified that Fred was a patient

from July 6th
to the 10th.

Okay, so there's no way

he committed the m*rder
and arson in Nevada.

No, we're gonna have to go back
and re‐examine everything

going back to the first
hit and run.

Whoever did this
is covering his tracks,

so we need to separate

the things our k*ller
wanted us to believe

from the facts
of the case.

bad circumstances.

I ‐‐ I don't know
what I'm trying to say.

Yeah, we're all struggling
with what happened.

Uh, what did happen?

Uh, people were saying
that it was a gas leak,

and one of the firefighters said
it could be arson.

And now I'm standing
in a police station.

I really don't know
what to think.

Uh, well, I'm afraid
there's not much I can tell you.

Of course. Right.

Did you notice anything
out of the ordinary

in the last few days?

Other than a big ball
of fire, no. Sorry.

Well, if you can think
of anything else,

you have Nolan's number.

Absolutely.

Thanks again.
Yeah.

Uh...chocolates.

at the firefighter party.

He is buying gifts

Come on.
He's a badge bunny.

Just for
a different badge.

Hey. Anything?

We struck out
with Fred's gardener.

He has access
to Fred's property,

but he has an alibi
for almost every m*rder.

He's definitely not
our guy.

And the mail carrier
alibied out, too.

So, that leaves us with...

The handyman.

His name's Ricardo Fuentes,

and he has a couple of
as*ault charges from years ago.

Did you talk with him?
Yeah, and he was
less than helpful.

When I asked for his whereabouts
on the dates of the murders,

he refused to answer.

That doesn't make him
a suspect.

I mean, maybe he just
doesn't trust the police.

True,
but when I asked him

why he went to Fred's house
yesterday morning,

he had an odd answer.

He said he got a call
to go to Fred's house

to strap
the water heater down

and that he was told
to enter the property

if no one was home.

And the odd part is?

How he claims he was paid.

With cash, in an envelope
taped to the water heater.

But of course,
he threw away the envelope.

So, maybe he's
telling the truth,

and this is him going
to strap down the water heater.

Or he's setting the b*mb
that k*lled Fred.

Okay, well,
that's easily verifiable.

I can just swing by Fred's house
on the way home,

see if Ricardo
did the work.

Thanks.

Sorry. It's been

pick something up.

Okay, I forgot.
