The Rookie 2x16

1. [ Man vocalizing in distance ] I just wanted to give the judges some happy juice

2. before we got started.

3. The world needs more love, man.

4. I agree, but meth smoothies are a felony.

5. My backpack. I left it in the green room.

6. It has my ID in it.

7. Go get it, Boot. Meet me down at the shop.

8. It's the fluffy one.

9. I'm sorry.

10. Oh. Sorry.

11. Uh, so sorry.

12. There you are. Come on. Oh, no, I —

13. You're up next. I'm actually not —

14. First you'll speak to Ryan, then you go in front of the judges.

15. You'll only have 15 minutes, so make them count.

16. They're — That's act— Let's go!

17. Hello. Hi.

18. Oh! Hi.

19. You're — I like it. The cop uniform.

20. That is fun. Um...

21. What's your name? Um, uh, I'm — I'm Lucy Chen,

22. but that — there's actually been a mistake. Hi, Lucy.

23. I'm not supposed to — No, look, I understand.

24. You're nervous. Everybody is. No.

25. Just before you get in there, take a deep breath. It's time.

26. No, I'm not — And do your thing.

27. What? Sing your heart out, okay, Lucy?

28. Uh...

29. How are you? How are you?

30. - Uh... - Hold on. Are we okay?

31. - Yeah. Hi. - Hi.

32. Uh, right in the center there. Are we in trouble?

33. No, no. Of course not. I...

34. I-I got pushed in here, and, uh, it's it's...

35. Are you a co— a contestant?

36. Um, you know, I...

37. I seem to be wearing a sticker right now.

38. Okay, who are you?

39. Hi, I-I'm Lucy Chen.

40. I'm from Los Angeles.

41. Are you in the right place?

42. There was a very, uh, sweet woman that

43. put a sticker on me, and Seacrest kind of

44. - Well, welcome to the show. - Thank you.

45. - I mean, yeah. - Okay.

46. Um, Officer, what are you going to sing for us today?

47. Oh. Uh...

48. You're on the tee. You got the number.

49. - You got the number. - Yeah.

50. I'll sing, um, "I-I Never Loved a Man" by Aretha.

51. It's one of my favorites.

52. Oh, wow. Okay.

53. Hmm.

54. Wow! Wow!

55. Chen? Chen, where are you? Wow!

56. Uh, I'm so— What?

57. I have to go. Lionel and Katy: Wait, no, no, no, no,

58. no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

59. - Wait, wait! - No!

60. - Coming! - Wait, wait.

61. What are you doing here?

62. Uh, nothing. Let's go.

63. Why the suit?

64. Court appearance.

65. Ever given blood before?

66. Every eight weeks, like clockwork.

67. Good for you.

68. Yeah, save lives, get a personal oil change.

69. It's win-win.

70. I didn't know machines had blood.

71. You know the drill. Light squeezes.

72. How's it going, Mr. AB Negative? Good.

73. Donating blood is bringing back some complicated memories

74. of when Henry was born.

75. He had TOF.

76. I spent a lot of time in the hospital banking blood.

77. I had no idea.

78. What's TOF? Tetralogy of Fallot.

79. It's a heart defect.

80. Four defects, actually.

81. Three of them he had before he was a year old.

82. Since we share the same rare blood type,

83. I donated approximately 16 gallons.

84. But everything's okay right now, right?

85. Oh, yeah. All his checkups have been fantastic.

86. Thank God.

87. So, when are we going out again?

88. How about this weekend? I can't.

89. Um, Oliver's coming, and I'm gonna take him to Disneyland.

90. Oh, I could tag along.

91. Um... Or not.

92. It's just — I only have him every other weekend, so I...

93. No need to explain. How about dinner tonight?

94. Great. Yeah, that sounds good.

95. Make sure you drink the whole thing down.

96. Woman, I'm a grown-ass man. I don't need a juice box.

97. Whoa.

98. You okay?

99. Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

100. Sir, did you just faint?

101. No, I briefly succumbed to gravity.

102. Sorry. I was trying to be quiet.

103. It's not you. It's the wind that keeps waking me up.

104. Yeah, it's supposed to get worse by tonight.

105. These graveyard shifts are brutal.

106. But tonight is the last one.

107. And then five days in Napa.

108. I have every detail planned.

109. Horseback riding, couples massages, hot-air-balloon ride.

110. You're forgetting a very important word here.

111. Wine.

112. Oh, I got reservations at six tasting rooms.

113. Good. Mm-hmm.

114. Mm.

115. Now go away so I can sleep.

116. Yes, ma'am.

117. I love ya.

118. I love you, too.

119. Don't act so happy to see me.

120. If you're here in person, it means something is wrong.

121. It's Lila.

122. What's Lila?

123. Wait.

124. Don't freak out.

125. She's having nightmares again.

126. Three nights this week,

127. she woke me up saying she heard screaming.

128. Then last night, she said she saw a ghost outside her window.

129. A ghost? I could barely console her.

130. She wanted you. She said only Mommy can help.

131. Did you look outside her window?

132. For a ghost? No.

133. She was having a nightmare.

134. It has nothing to do with ghosts.

135. You think it's about what happened?

136. Of course.

137. Okay, um, thank you for telling me.

138. I can come by the house in a little bit

139. and talk to her myself.

140. Can you do that while you're on duty?

141. Yeah, when it's important.

142. Good. Good.

143. Captain Kitty: I need to get a restraining order.

144. Okay. Uh, against whom?

145. My cat.

146. Meow Tse Tung.

147. I'm sorry, sir. We only handle complaints here against people.

148. Don't you want to know what he did?

149. I really don't.

150. I hope you have a nice day.

151. Hi. I'm Valerie Castillo.

152. I work for the Los Angeles Herald.

153. I'm here to see yesterday's case reports.

154. Okay.

155. You a crime reporter?

156. Um, not yet.

157. I write for the Style Section, going on 15 years.

158. Oh. But I'm over it.

159. It's all been reduced to sex tips and celebrity gossip.

160. You know, the clickbait.

161. Mm, so you're fishing for a real story?

162. Actually, I've already got one.

163. Do you know anything about

164. a bunch of robberies at five-star hotels?

165. Mm, first I've heard of it.

166. Well, a concierge at the Borden

167. told me that two guests were beaten and robbed there

168. in the last few weeks.

169. Now, neither victim want her to contact the police.

170. When I went to other stations

171. to look through the crime reports,

172. I found three similar incidents in hotels around town.

173. Is there a description of the attacker?

174. No, because none of the men gave one.

175. But the cases have to be connected.

176. Yeah, I mean, it sure seems like it. Right?

177. You know, you don't want the case reports.

178. There's actually a lot more information

179. in the CAD printouts.

180. What are those?

181. Computer Aided Dispatch reports.

182. Why are you volunteering to show her those?

183. This is a reporter from the Herald,

184. and these are public-facing documents.

185. Valerie Castillo.

186. They're only public-facing when asked for.

187. Can I see the CAD reports, please?

188. Fine. Give 'em to her.

189. Thank you. Not a fan of the press?

190. Eh, Herald's got a bias against the police.

191. No, we don't. It's implicit.

192. Unlike your bias against me. Cute.

193. You know, the media will say or do anything

194. to get you to back up their headline.

195. And make sure she gives you those printouts back.

196. And get ready to roll.

197. We're gonna hit the streets as soon as I change.

198. Yes, sir.

199. You shouldn't let him talk to you like that.

200. He's my training officer. That's just kind of his style.

201. Well, being an ass isn't style.

202. But he sure can wear a suit.

203. I thought that only happened in Road Runner cartoons.

204. It's the Santa Ana winds.

205. You're officially an LA resident now.

206. Nyla!

207. Is that you?

208. It's been too long!

209. Yeah, no, yeah. It sure has.

210. Sorry about you and Donovan.

211. You were always such a lovely family.

212. Benjamin and I are in a bit of a rough patch right now, too.

213. Why are relationships so hard?

214. Because most people suck.

215. Well, I-I'll let you go.

216. I hope to see you around more often.

217. Oh, yeah. You, too.

218. Who was that? No clue.

219. Don and I bought this house

220. while I was neck-deep in undercover work.

221. I could barely focus on my family, let alone the neighbors.

222. Everything okay?

223. Uh, yeah.

224. No, I just — I haven't been inside since we separated.

225. Hey. Hi.

226. Donovan, nice to see you again.

227. Yeah. You, too.

228. Come on in. Thank you.

229. You redecorated.

230. Yeah. Place needed some new energy.

231. So, uh, did you hire a decorator, or...

232. No. Did it all myself.

233. Oh.

234. What?

235. Nothing. No. You said, "Oh."

236. I — It — You just never really had — had style before.

237. Mommy!

238. Hi, baby.

239. Mm.

240. Let's go talk in your room, 'kay?

241. Okay.

242. Something to drink?

243. Oh, no, I'm good, thanks.

244. Sorry to hear that you've been having some rough nights.

245. Yeah, it's not the first time.

246. She's been having nightmares on and off for over a year,

247. ever since...

248. it happened.

249. Ever since what happened?

250. So Daddy tells me

251. that you are not sleeping so good.

252. Mnh-mnh. I keep getting woken up.

253. By the nightmares? They're not nightmares.

254. I hear somebody screaming.

255. Honey, it's probably just the wind.

256. I mean, the Santa Anas are really blowing.

257. No, but it started before them.

258. Okay.

259. And then last night, did you tell Daddy you saw a ghost?

260. I said it looked like a ghost.

261. Ghosts aren't real.

262. Okay, so, what did you see, then?

263. Well, I saw a woman...

264. walking down the street.

265. In a nightgown.

266. She had blood on her hands.

267. It was right before we split.

268. Nyla had been working undercover

269. for almost a year,

270. had barely come home.

271. We were in a bad place,

272. but we were trying to make it work.

273. And then she took Lila to the supermarket.

274. You know why we moved out here?

275. 'Cause it's a nice neighborhood?

276. 'Cause it was nowhere near where Nyla worked.

277. She couldn't run the risk of running into a criminal

278. who knew her as someone else on the street.

279. And that's what happened at the store.

280. A drug dealer she'd put away.

281. He recognized her.

282. And tried to kill her in front of my daughter.

283. Do you believe me?

284. Honey, I-I —

285. No lies. You promised.

286. Yes.

287. I believe you.

288. And I'm glad you wanted to tell me.

289. You're a police officer, and someone needs help.

290. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything.

291. No, no, it's, um...

292. What? What's going on?

293. Just waiting on you. How'd it go?

294. Uh, Lila says it wasn't a ghost and it wasn't a nightmare.

295. And I believe her.

296. Then what was it? I don't know.

297. But, um, I would like to stay here tonight,

298. maybe do some surveillance, if that's okay.

299. You really think that's necessary?

300. Well, Lila needs to see that we're taking her seriously.

301. Oh, and I don't?

302. I-I am sure that's not what she meant.

303. It's not. I ju—

304. I just want to be here for her.

305. Okay. Sure.

306. Come back tonight.

307. Okay.

308. Don told you about what happened.

309. It sounded awful.

310. Yeah, it was, and he used it against me in court.

311. He convinced the judge

312. that Lila wasn't safe around me unsupervised.

313. That was also awful.

314. What is it?

315. Uh, Lila's room is right there.

316. She said the woman with the blood on her hands

317. was right about here.

318. Does that look like blood to you?

319. Could be.

320. Or oil or transmission fluid.

321. Want me to call in a forensics team?

322. For a ghost hunt? No, they'd laugh me off the radio.

323. I could call it in.

324. Rookies get laughed at all the time.

325. I appreciate that, but odds are it's nothing.

326. Alright, uh, back to work.

327. I'm telling you. Reporters always have an agenda.

328. To get the truth? Sounds horrible.

329. Don't be so naive.

330. Well I am not naive.

331. I'm just not like you.

332. God, you don't trust anyone.

333. 'Cause trust has to be earned.

334. All I'm saying is watch your back

335. when dealing with the press.

336. 7-Adam-19, 415-fight.

337. Manager versus customer in a physical.

338. Multiple RPs. E&L Auto Body. 3905.

339. Copy that. En route, Code 3.

340. $2,000. That's final.

341. That's not what you quoted me!

342. I'm not giving you a penny more than $500!

343. $2,000! No pay, no car! I keep!

344. Like hell you will.

345. Say hello to William Snakespeare, bitch!

346. Hey! Drop the snake! Drop it!

347. Ohh! Ohh! Drop the snake!

348. - Aah! - Oh.

349. Get that away from me! Aah! Aah!

350. Oh, no.

351. Where the hell did it go? I don't know.

352. Sir, just stay where you are. The ambulance is on its way.

353. He's not gonna make it. Animal control's 10 minutes out.

354. EMTs won't step foot in here

355. until that snake's been neutralized.

356. Damn it, well, we can't stay up here while he's dying.

357. Alright, we'll just flush it out in the open.

358. I'll end it. You can't kill it.

359. What the hell are we supposed to do with it? Snuggle?

360. Boot, don't be a hero. It's venomous.

361. Whoa.

362. Hey, there, Snakespeare.

363. It's okay.

364. I'm not gonna hurt you. I just...

365. Ohh.

366. Oh.

367. Okay.

368. Hoo! It's not his fault his owner's an idiot.

369. Control, advise fire and ambulance

370. our scene is Code 4 — clear to enter.

371. Can I ask you a favor?

372. Sure.

373. No, never mind.

374. Come on. What is it?

375. Yeah, this whole spending the night

376. at my ex's house thing is —

377. You're nervous.

378. Y-Yeah, yeah, that one of us is gonna

379. end up leaving in a body bag.

380. It would be nice if I, you know, had a... buffer.

381. And you're good at...

382. people... things.

383. You know what? Never mind. Forget it.

384. This is a bad idea. No, no, no, it's not.

385. I just have, uh, a dinner date with Grace,

386. but I can reschedule it.

387. No, no. Go on your date.

388. No, it's fine. I'll be fine.

389. No, really. It's not a problem.

390. I'll see you tomorrow.

391. Hey, roomie!

392. Oh, man, I feel like I haven't seen you in forever!

393. Well, because you haven't. Night shifts suck.

394. Oh. You try sleeping in our apartment during the day.

395. The sirens, construction, helicopters.

396. All so Lopez can have her wine country vacation.

397. Well, hang in there.

398. You've only got one more night of vampire ops.

399. Then five days off,

400. and I'll relish every minute.

401. Mm-hmm.

402. Valerie. Hey, you're back.

403. Hey. Yes. To thank you for getting me those CAD reports.

404. Yeah. Well, did they help with your story?

405. You're kidding me. It's even bigger than I thought.

406. You know, every one of those assault victims lives in town.

407. Who gets a hotel room in the same city that you live in?

408. Uh, well, men who are hooking up with sex workers.

409. Exactly. I'm convinced it's a Murphy scam.

410. You know, the rich guy meets an escort at the hotel —

411. Yeah, and gets beaten up and robbed by her accomplice

412. but can't report it because then he'd be copping

413. to his own crime. This was the story that I was looking for

414. and my editor said to run with it

415. and I couldn't have cracked it without you.

416. So I want to buy you a drink to say, you know, thank you.

417. Oh, uh, I shouldn't.

418. Why? Because your training officer would disapprove?

419. Uh, no, no. Okay, listen, listen.

420. You helped me, and I want to return the favor.

421. So any time I get any information on crimes,

422. I can feed it to you, and you can make the arrests.

423. This week has been ass.

424. I get it. You're tired. I'm tired.

425. So tonight, we're the dream team.

426. We'll take turns copping some Z's...

427. while the other keeps their eye on the on board

428. and listens for calls.

429. Wesley excited about the trip?

430. That's an understatement.

431. Guy's got it planned to the nth degree.

432. We're gonna get massages, ride horses,

433. fly in a hot-air balloon.

434. Oh, damn.

435. What?

436. The boy's gonna propose.

437. What?

438. Hot-air balloon?

439. Proposal.

440. Shut up. You're wrong.

441. Okay.

442. Damn it, you're right.

443. Salut.

444. So, you've got a bunch of victims who aren't talking.

445. Wrong.

446. They're not talking to the police,

447. but I got one of the guys to talk to me off the record

448. this afternoon. And...?

449. It's exactly what I thought.

450. He hooked up with a woman online.

451. They went to a hotel, they go upstairs,

452. they get naked, then a guy walks in with a gun.

453. He steals the guy's watch, money, phone,

454. and then tells him, "If you talk,

455. your family's gonna get hurt."

456. Did you get a description?

457. Better. He gave me the woman.

458. Now we're gonna catch her in the act.

459. Uh, we— um...

460. Y-You lied to me.

461. No. No, I-I didn't.

462. I told you I was gonna help you,

463. and this way I was gonna get a killer story

464. and you were gonna get a high-profile arrest. I'm a rookie.

465. I can't just run around arresting people by myself.

466. Come on. Why not?

467. What?

468. Holy crap.

469. That's Alex Shaw.

470. Who? The huge movie producer.

471. And his wife is super pregnant.

472. This is suddenly a front-page story.

473. This is amazing!

474. Oh, no, no, no, no. They're gonna leave. Let's go.

475. What? I booked the room right next to hers.

476. Come on!

477. Let's go, Lucy.

478. Hey. Hey.

479. Just about to get dinner started.

480. You hungry? Um, I could eat.

481. Hey, Mama. Hi, baby.

482. I can take the couch tonight if you want the bed.

483. No, sleep in my room.

484. No, I will take the couch because I am not here to sleep.

485. I am here to keep an eye out, right?

486. Right. Right.

487. Ohh. Wow.

488. What? Uh, nothing.

489. It's just... a little stiff.

490. No, it's not. It's structured. Mm-hmm.

491. Did daddy really pick this couch out himself?

492. No. The lady helped him.

493. What lady?

494. The lady from the store.

495. Go wash your hands for dinner.

496. Am I in trouble?

497. Oh, no, honey.

498. I am.

499. Don't do that.

500. Do not use her to get information about me.

501. I wa— I wasn't doing that. I-I didn't... mean...

502. You always mean to.

503. This...

504. Hey! Here we are! And we brought dinner!

505. What? Uh...

506. Nolan came to help with the stakeout.

507. Yeah, and I brought a dinner guest.

508. I hope that's okay. Hi. I'm Grace.

509. Uh, Donovan. Yes, come in, please.

510. I'll... go get some... plates for this.

511. - I'll help. - Thank you.

512. Thank you.

513. No problem. How's it going?

514. I think he's seeing someone.

515. This place looks way too nice.

516. Y-You do know you're divorced, right? It's not about that.

517. It's about him bringing someone into our child's life

518. that I have never met.

519. Okay.

520. Oh, God. Quick.

521. Take a selfie with me.

522. It's too far away. I can't see their faces.

523. I need to get closer. Come on.

524. Not without blowing it.

525. What are you doing?

526. I'm texting Tim. I need a senior officer here.

527. No, you don't! He'll just steal the credit.

528. Look, I am out on a limb here, okay?

529. And as a rookie, that could get me fired.

530. So we either do this by the book or I walk.

531. Fine.

532. Your daughter's got a lot of talent.

533. Art has been a really great outlet for her.

534. It's been a tough year. For all of us.

535. But especially for Lila.

536. Divorce is — is hard on kids.

537. I'm going through one myself,

538. and I feel like every decision and thought that I make

539. is built around how it will affect my son.

540. He does not believe this,

541. but, yes, I feel the exact same way.

542. Why are you putting words in my mouth?

543. Are you saying that you've never said that?

544. We're not having this fight right now.

545. - Sounds like a good idea. - Oh, great.

546. So now you're taking his side? Oh, no.

547. You know what? How about we just get this out into the open?

548. You are obviously allowed to date someone new.

549. Thank you? But you should have introduced me to her

550. before bringing her into our daughter's world.

551. What are you talking about? I'm not dating anyone.

552. Okay, so, I'm just supposed to believe

553. you redecorated all by yourself?

554. Yeah. You are.

555. You were using towels as curtains when I met you.

556. Okay, you know what?

557. We agreed we would take it slow and we would give each other

558. the courtesy of meeting whomever we were dating.

559. Again, not dating anyone.

560. It really sounds like he's not dating anyone.

561. I'm sure before Nolan met your son, you... talked to your ex.

562. Actually, I still haven't met Oliver.

563. Yeah, there just hasn't been the right time.

564. Right, and this is — it's still new.

565. It doesn't mean anything. Yeah. No, I mean, I know. Yeah.

566. - Yeah. So...

567. What you guys talking about?

568. Me? What did I do? Now I can't relax.

569. I'm gonna be reading into every little thing Wesley does,

570. waiting for him to propose.

571. Now I have to be "on" the whole time,

572. worrying about what I'm wearing and how my hair looks.

573. Okay, you might be over-thinking this.

574. He better not propose on the hot-air balloon.

575. I get motion sickness.

576. What if I throw up?

577. What if I drop the ring from a thousand feet up?

578. Okay. You crazy.

579. And I'm going to sleep.

580. Thank you so much for doing this tonight. Of course.

581. It was fun.

582. Okay, I mean interesting. Ah.

583. You know, that seems to be a theme with our dates —

584. chasing down stolen cars,

585. uncomfortable dinners with your partner.

586. Maybe next time you can take me to a funeral.

587. Well, when you say it like that, it sounds weird.

588. Listen, um, earlier tonight, uh, with Oliver...

589. John, it's not that. I don't want you —

590. Thank you so much for coming. Ah.

591. I mean, two buffers is definitely better than one.

592. Of course. Sorry that I have to rush out.

593. I only have my sitter until 9:00.

594. Oh, my God, now I feel even worse.

595. You wasted a date night here?

596. Don't be silly. I'm happy to.

597. Good luck with everything.

598. I hope that Lila is okay.

599. - Thank you. - I'll walk you out.

600. Good night.

601. Hey, thanks for coming. Mm-hmm.

602. I'm in trouble, aren't I? Mm-hmm.

603. If he punishes you in any way, I'll write a story about it.

604. No, don't do that. Do not do that.

605. You know that doesn't work.

606. But there's an app for it.

607. Really? No.

608. Shaw still in there with the escort?

609. Yeah, but there's no sign of her accomplice.

610. Maybe he's not coming.

611. Maybe he doesn't exist.

612. He exists, okay?

613. And when he comes, he's gonna be armed and dangerous.

614. If so, you'll be nowhere near the action.

615. And what if it's not on the hot-air balloon?

616. What if he proposes

617. while we're riding horses and I fall off? Okay.

618. Please just let me go to sleep!

619. 7-Adam-19, requesting another unit

620. to the Coldwater Hotel for a 647-B event.

621. Contact me in the lobby.

622. 7-Adam-07, attach us to 7-Adam-19's event.

623. Show us en route.

624. Wow.

625. Wind is really picking up.

626. I'll take the chair. You take the couch.

627. Oh, I can't have that. I'll take the chair.

628. Trust me, you are getting the worst end of the deal.

629. Seriously? Mm-hmm.

630. Wow. Right?

631. What? I mean... I know.

632. Hey, can we talk about me for a second?

633. Yeah, sure. What do you think it means

634. that Grace doesn't want me to meet her son?

635. Uh, that she's a good mother

636. who is putting her child's welfare

637. before everything and everyone else.

638. So, not that she's... not that into me?

639. Are you kidding me? No. She digs you.

640. Seems to be her only flaw.

641. What?

642. Uh...

643. I see a ghost.

644. Police! Drop your weapon!

645. It has to die!

646. Ma'am, I need you to put that shotgun down right now.

647. Turn around.

648. Hands on your head. Interlace your fingers.

649. What the hell are you doing?

650. Hunting. Who?

651. It. It?

652. The coyote that killed my Snowball.

653. Your what? My Westie.

654. Your dog? My baby.

655. We went out for a walk last night, and a coyote attacked us.

656. Is that what happened to your hand?

657. I tried to get between them.

658. I fell. Snowball ran.

659. She was so scared.

660. The coyote went after her, and I haven't seen her since.

661. That damn jackal!

662. He — He murdered her!

663. I know it!

664. That's him. And he's armed.

665. Dispatch, be advised,

666. suspect at my location is armed with a handgun.

667. White male, 6'2", black jacket, blue jeans.

668. Here we go.

669. Alright, stay...

670. Where is she? I don't know.

671. Ah! Aah!

672. Hang on!

673. He's running!

674. Give me your hand! Let go of the phone!

675. No, no, no, no! I have a photo of Shaw in — in bed.

676. Valerie, drop the damn phone!

677. Give me your hand! Come on! Let go!

678. Let it go!

679. 7-Adam-19 in pursuit of the suspect, heading to the lobby.

680. I'm tired, stressed, and emotional.

681. If you make me chase your ass through this hotel,

682. believe me, you will pay.

683. Damn. Thought you were scary during the day shift.

684. Did you arrest her?

685. Well, we confiscated the shotgun, cited her out.

686. Uh, good news is we solved the ghost mystery.

687. Thank you.

688. And, uh, I can tell Lila in the morning.

689. I'd like to peek in on her before I go.

690. And speaking of going...

691. Oh, right. Mm, thank you for, uh —

692. I owe you. No, you don't.

693. I'll see you tomorrow.

694. Girl, quit faking.

695. How'd you know?

696. Mamas always know.

697. Scoot over.

698. We caught your ghost.

699. It was just a nice lady who was looking for her lost dog.

700. Did you help her find it?

701. I wish we could have, honey, but we...

702. I know. It's sad.

703. Can you stay till I fall asleep?

704. Yeah, sure.

705. Snowball?

706. Snowball, is that you, girl?

707. Well, we thought you got eaten by a coyote.

708. Way to survive!

709. Come here!

710. Come here. Hey!

711. No, don't worry.

712. It's okay. I'm a police officer.

713. Snowball?

714. Hey.

715. Hey, there. How you doing?

716. Ho, ho, ho, ho! We were worried about you!

717. You were...

718. I don't want this.

719. I didn't want this, either.

720. From the looks of it, neither does he.

721. Don't talk about Benjamin! Don't even look at him!

722. So...

723. What's happening here?

724. He tried to leave me.

725. So I-I needed to show him that he still loved me.

726. By drugging him?

727. He was making too much noise.

728. He w— wouldn't listen.

729. Now he hears me.

730. A-And I'm winning him back.

731. And we were almost happy again

732. and then you showed up outside and I couldn't let you find him.

733. I — You can't be here.

734. Okay, c— You're gonna ruin everything!

735. Okay. I'll be happy to leave. Just untie me, and I'll go.

736. I'm not stupid.

737. You're a cop. I can't just let you go.

738. We ju— We can't have you here.

739. We s— We need our privacy.

740. I have to kill you.

741. Mama? Mm-hmm?

742. What if I still have nightmares?

743. Well, I told you, honey, there's nothing to be afraid of.

744. It wasn't a ghost. Not about that.

745. Sometimes I have dreams

746. that — that you're getting hurt.

747. Like at the grocery store.

748. Hey.

749. It's okay.

750. You know I'm okay, right?

751. And that's never gonna happen again.

752. Sometimes back then,

753. I had to pretend to be a bad guy.

754. How come?

755. So that real bad guys

756. would tell me all the bad things they were doing.

757. And when I found out, I'd stop them.

758. Is that why that scary man at the store was so mad at you?

759. Yeah, he figured out that I wasn't really a bad person,

760. that I was just a good one who was pretending.

761. Were you scared?

762. Yeah. I was.

763. Until I knew you were safe.

764. Because protecting you —

765. It's all that matters to me.

766. Alright, now, get some sleep, honey. It's late.

767. And no more bad dreams, okay?

768. I love you.

769. Mama?

770. Yes, Lila?

771. You said the ghost was a woman who lost her dog.

772. But who was the man?

773. What man, baby?

774. The one I heard screaming.

775. - Ohh.

776. I need to do this.

777. For Benjamin.

778. I love you so much.

779. I can't lose you.

780. If you do this — If you kill me,

781. you'll lose him, for sure.

782. Shut up!

783. Gah!

784. What's — What's wrong with it?

785. The safety.

786. Ohh! Aah.

787. Aah!

788. Wait! Wait! It's gonna be loud.

789. Your neighbors are gonna hear it.

790. They'll call the police.

791. Damn it, he's right.

792. You're right. Oh, God.

793. What am I gonna do? Benjamin, help me.

794. I-I could stab him to death.

795. Ah, no, no. All the blood.

796. Even if I clean it up, they — they'll find it

797. because they have the sprays and — and the lights and the...

798. I know.

799. I could beat you to death.

800. No, whoa, whoa! No, no, that's gonna be a lot of blood.

801. It's — Even more than if you used the knife.

802. It'll go everywhere.

803. Damn it!

804. You die if you can't breathe.

805. I know that.

806. I mean, that's just basic biology.

807. Wait! Wait!

808. Nyla? It's the middle of the night. I know.

809. I'm sorry, but ...

810. Have you seen my partner?

811. The guy that I was with earlier on today?

812. No. Why?

813. Because he left the house a while ago,

814. and his truck is still here.

815. And he's not answering his cell.

816. Oh. Weird.

817. Weird. No, Ben and I have been asleep for hours.

818. Haven't seen anything.

819. Okay. Thank you.

820. I hope you find him.

821. That was Nyla.

822. I really hope she gets back with Don.

823. We always had so much fun with them.

824. Remember?

825. Ohh!

826. Ohh!

827. Hey. Hey. You alright?

828. I gotcha. I gotcha.

829. How's John?

830. Uh, he might need a couple stitches and a Valium,

831. but, um, he'll be okay.

832. I think it might be time to move.

833. This neighborhood's a mess.

834. Benjamin and Griffin were such a great couple.

835. But so were we at one point in time.

836. Oh, come on. There's no comparison.

837. We had our dark days, sure, but never a full psychotic break.

838. I don't know. I got close a couple times.

839. Uh, thank you for...

840. letting me come tonight.

841. Thank you for listening to our daughter.

842. I should have done a better job with that.

843. Are you kidding?

844. You are a great dad.

845. I mean, with everything that I put you through,

846. you could have turned Lila against me.

847. But you didn't.

848. You'll never know how much that means to me.

849. It's late.

850. You should grab a couple hours.

851. And, um...

852. I think Lila would love it

853. if you were here when she wakes up.

854. I'd like that, too.

855. Mm.

856. Uh...

857. I'm not dating anyone.

858. Mm, you should start.

859. It's time.

860. Night. Good night.

861. Oh, God.

862. Once you're satisfied with your written statement,

863. just sign the bottom.

864. I am so sorry. Don't worry about it.

865. Listen, I should have been straight with you

866. from the beginning. You took advantage of me because I'm a rookie.

867. You knew that a senior officer would never have let you

868. get involved in a dangerous takedown.

869. Yes, and it was very unfair of me,

870. but, listen, I've been stuck for so long.

871. I needed this.

872. To be taken seriously.

873. And yet, when push came to shove,

874. you went for the tabloid photo instead of the news story.

875. Hey, you ready to go?

876. What?

877. Now?

878. Yeah. Why not?

879. You know, you can sleep in the car.

880. We'll get to the hotel by early check-in.

881. I think I got everything.

882. Will you just double-check for me?

883. Uh, I think so.

884. Oh, my God. I know, right?

885. Look, I-I-I've been going nuts trying to plan the perfect trip,

886. the perfect proposal, but the pressure is killing me.

887. I mean, what if something goes wrong or I lose the ring

888. or the ring goes over the side of the hot-air balloon

889. from a thousand feet?

890. So, what if, instead of a proposal vacation,

891. we have an engagement vacation?

892. Unless you're about to say no?

893. You won't know if you don't ask.

894. Angela, you're my best friend,

895. and you are the sexiest woman I have ever seen.

896. You make me laugh and cry sometimes.

897. I fell in love with you

898. the second that I met you,

899. and I have been falling ever since.

900. Will you marry me?

901. Yes.

902. Surprise!

903. I'm gonna start calling you Humpty Dumpty.

904. Don't do that. He never gets fixed.

905. It's because everyone around him is incompetent.

906. All the king's horses and all the king's men?

907. Nobody could think to get the king's doctor?

908. And why horses? Hardly qualified.

909. Voilà.

910. I put Humpty together again.

911. Thank you.

912. And thank you for coming last night.

913. I-I lied at dinner.

914. Simon and I are separated,

915. but we haven't actually started the divorce process yet.

916. Oh.

917. I j-just assumed. I know.

918. And — And I'm sorry

919. that I wasn't clear about that from the beginning.

920. I mean, it's — it's not because

921. the relationship is still alive.

922. I mean, it is over, I promise.

923. But you had a family and now you don't and it's heartbreaking.

924. Yeah.

925. And...

926. I feel like I'm a failure.

927. You're not.

928. You're not, but...

929. I get it.

930. I really do.

931. This is my first relationship since my marriage blew up,

932. and...

933. I just — I need to take it slow.

934. Is that okay?

935. Yeah.

936. It's more than okay.

937. I promise.

938. Now, I have roll call in about an hour, so I have to go.

939. Whoa. I mean, that's it?

940. No kiss, or...?

941. You said you wanted to take it slow.

942. Well, not that slow.
