- Oh.
- [MUSIC STOPS]

You're here.

I live here.

I went to bed at : ,
and you still weren't home.

Oh, I came home around then.

I must have just missed you.

Trivia went late.

And how was trivia?

Amazing.

I came up with this obscure
fact about Josephine Baker,

so I'm feeling pretty
good about myself.

You are such a smooth liar.

And I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

All that undercover training.

I'm not lying.

I saw Tim drop you off.

[SIGHS] Thank God.

I am so over coming
up with cover stories.

Okay. Why the big secret?

You're both single.

I mean,
we're just keeping it under wraps

until we figure things out.

Well, if you ever need me to,
uh, clear out for the night,

you know, play my music real loud,
just let me know.

We're not sleeping together.

Why not?

We're taking it slow.

We want to do this right.

So you're not sure how you feel?

No. I know exactly how I feel.

I mean,
this is the most amazing relationship

I've been in since ever.

Okay. And you're waiting why, again?

Morning.

Morning.

Um...

Tonight is the night.

Oh. Really?

Yes, really.

My place or yours?

Jealous dog or nosy roommate?

Tamara knows.

What? You told her?

No, she has eyes. I didn't have to.

But, she is staying at
her friend's tonight, so...

SGT. GREY: Hey.

Coincidence. I was just gonna call you.

Lopez needs Aaron's
help on a surveillance,

so I was thinking,

why don't you two ride together today?

- Great.
- Yeah, whatever you need, sir.

Great.

Mm, this is gonna be awkward.

It doesn't have to be.

We've ridden together
hundreds of times.

Never as a couple.

On the streets, we won't be.

So are you telling me
you're not gonna be

thinking about tonight?

Not at all.

- Thank you.
- Me neither.

I can't tell you about
the Elijah investigation.

I know.

I just need to make
sure someone is on it.

Wesley, a major drug kingpin,

just used the LAPD,
to take out two of his rivals.

Quite a few someones are on it.

He's not done with me, or Angela.

I know,
the lawsuits made that very clear.

The lawsuits, were a game.

He doesn't care about her badge,

or my family's money.

He wants to t*rture us.

And then quite possibly k*ll us.

That does not change the fact

that we cannot have this conversation.

Are you hassling Harper about Elijah?

No, I'm trusting the process.

I said nothing. I was never here.

Good.

Remember, the nanny's staying late.

- Date night.
- How could I forget?

So, who are we surveilling?

His name's Serrano Rivers.

I got a tip from a CI
that he's running g*ns.

It's not enough for a warrant, but...

But maybe he'll screw
up and we can catch it.

It's weak, but it's all I got.

- Let's do it.
- All right.

I could tell Grey that
I got food poisoning.

Just to get out of riding with me?

Yeah, I mean, I get the day off,

we avoid [SIGHS] all this weirdness.

- Wins all around.
- You're overthinking this.

We leave our personal life at the door,
just like always.

Oh.

And you can just, shut it off?

At : , I'm your girlfriend.

At : , I'm...

I'm your what? Your subordinate?

- Yeah.
- Really? Hmm.

What?

My duty belt. My Taser
is on the wrong side.

Normally, you would be all
over me for something like this.

- You did that on purpose?
- Mm-hmm.

You don't do Tim Tests. I do Tim Tests.

Well,
that's 'cause this isn't a Tim Test.

It's a Lucy Lesson.

And admit it,
you are taking it easy on me.

We're not even on duty yet,
and our dynamic has changed.

You wanted to see us?

See, a prisoner's en route
to St. Stephen Hospital.

He's donating a kidney.

And you want us to help stand guard?

The guy must be pretty bad if

the sheriffs can't
handle it themselves.

[SIGHS]

It's Oscar Hutchinson.

You got to be kidding me!

Wait, who's Oscar Hutchinson?

He is the worst person in the world.

I'm sorry. My-My brain broke a little.

Did you say he's donating a kidney?

Yes, his daughter, Ashley,
had a kidney infection

which resulted in
end-state renal disease.

So, our Oscar Hutchinson,
is donating a kidney

just out of the kindness of his heart?

I don't buy it either.
He has some play here.

Hospital does have lower
security than the prison does.

And all the dr*gs and
sharp objects he could want.

So round up whoever you need, okay?

Don't let your guard down for a second.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

All right.

Let's split up.

Greg, Emma,
you guys set up at the nurses' station.

I want three of you
on the north hallway,

three of you on the south hallway.

Hospital security already
has the staircases covered.

Thanks.

All of this for one man?

Yes.

One man convicted of m*rder
and multiple violent felonies.

One man who has
escaped a prison convoy,

stabbed our friend Wesley,
and escaped federal agents.

Now, he is selfish,
amoral, brutal, unethical,

ruthless, unconscionable, and selfish.

Already said selfish.

Yes, I did,
because he really, really is.

Lambert,
Juarez. Anything we need to know?

Nothing out of the ordinary for Oscar.

He already hit on three nurses

and picked his handcuffs
with a pen he stole.

I hear you got a history.

That's an understatement.

Hi, John.

Uh, what, no get-well gift?

I was hoping for chocolates.

You can't eat them anyway,
too close to surgery.

Well, there's teddy bears, balloons.

You are aware of my heroic
and unselfish act here, yes?

The last thing you are is selfless.

This is all a ploy.

We're simply here to make
sure you don't succeed.

He only sees the bad in people.

Whereas I, on the other hand,
only see the good.

And you are looking very good to me.

You didn't tell me you had
such a sexy rookie, John.

Bailey must be jealous.

Okay. Maybe quit staring.

You're freaking me out.

She's freaking me out.

You're gonna die.

Nice. Nice try.

I've been threatened by
girls a lot tougher than you,

- and taller.
- I-It is not a thr*at.

Death is coming for him.

[LOUD CLATTER]

All right.

Okay, she's for real?

When it comes to Officer Juarez,

I've come to trust her instincts.

If she says you're gonna die,

I-I'd be worried.

Well, hell,

we're all gonna die, right?

Yeah, some of us sooner than others.

Okay.
Can we swap Harper back in?

'Cause she's a lot less creepy.

We're not here for your comfort, Oscar.

We're here to arrest you
when you try to escape.

And endanger the life of my daughter?

You misjudge me.

I don't have any ulterior motives.

I'm here as a father.

ASHLEY: He's extorting me.

I had to put $ in his
prison commissary account

before he'd even pick up the phone.

He says after the surgery,
I owe him $ a week.

I am so sorry about that.

At least he's going
through with the surgery.

I thought I was gonna
be in dialysis until I d*ed.

I had just gotten out of prison,

finally got my life together,
then this hit.

I heard you had your sentence
reduced for good behavior.

Seems like you've learned your lesson.

Yeah...

"Don't be like Dad."

It should be me.

No.
No, you love it here.

No, I do, but,

there isn't an open
sergeant supervisor job

anywhere else in the division.

I checked.

Which means you would
have to take a demotion.

And that's not happening.

- So...
- Lucy, I...

No, it'll be fine.

Rookies leave their first station

after making P all the time.

That's true.

So this is the best move, right?

Maybe. But we don't
need to decide right now.

How you feeling?

Good.
Oscar's ready?

He'll be right behind you.

You were right.

The new doctor is not a doctor.

I ran a surveillance still
of him through ViCAP.

His name is Troy Hoffman.

Multiple priors, in and out of prison,

including a stint with Oscar.

Do you think he's here
to help Oscar escape?

I don't know.

But he certainly has
leverage on Oscar's doctor.

I mean, we can cancel the surgery,
regroup.

I don't want to spook anybody
till we know what's going on.

We need to separate
Troy from the doctor.

- Can you run interference?
- Piece of cake.

Let's go.

Well, Oscar, how does it feel to

finally do something good for a change?

Awful.
Never again.

CELINA: I'm sorry.
I-I know you're busy,


but I-I've been having
this pain on my side.

Do you think it's cancer?

Unlikely.

Well, you can't be certain
without examining me, right?

I looked it up online.

Or,
uh, Cast Syndrome.

Cast Syndrome. That...
That seems really bad.

Who is this guy? We
know he's not a doctor.

Three men broke into
my house last night.

They're holding my family hostage.

If I don't k*ll Oscar
during the surgery,

they say I'll never see them again.

I'm sorry.
What?

Uncuff me from this bed,
Nolan. I want to get off.

Shut up.

We need to get this guy off the board

before he can warn his friends.
