Morning.
- Ready for our run? - Yeah.
Just let me hit the mouthwash.
Celina told me you were living in your car,
but she did not tell me how cool it was.
Well, I wish it was a little less cool
and a little bit more comfortable.
I hear that.
But at least you don't have a rodent problem.
Last week, a rat tried to bum a cigarette off me
while I was in the bathtub.
I finally got the landlord to call in some guys
for what he called an aggressive intervention,
so celina's letting me sleep over for a few days.
Is, Lucy ok with that?
Yeah, totally.
- What? - No... no, nothing.
She's happy to have you.
She just doesn't want it to be, like, a permanent thing.
No way. I love my place.
Or I will once my own houseguests are gone.
Yeah, well, at this point,
I'd be happy to share an apartment with a few critters
if it came with indoor plumbing.
Shall we?
- Go! - Wait! Hey! Not fair!
Wait!
Sorry. Parking was a nightmare.
I'm almost there.
Great. We're both running late.
Fantastic first impression.
I'm sure the social worker will understand.
We're asking her to trust us with a baby.
We need to be perfect.
- I... I see her. - I gotta go.
Bye.
No.
Ms. Greer.
Hi, I am so sorry I'm late.
Don't worry about it. Parking here is awful.
One minute.
I just need to respond to this email.
- Yeah. - It's always something.
Ms. Greer, so nice to see you.
I am so sorry that we're late.
Of course. Thank you for meeting me here.
It is such a nice day, I figured we could sit outside?
No.
No, my allergies are just very
do you mind if we sit inside?
Sure, I guess.
Whatever makes you comfortable.
- Thanks. - Ok.
What's wrong with you?
God.
This place has the best muffins.
I love muffins. Can you show me?
So the good news is we are now up to two dozen members
and we are branching out.
So Leonard in west la, singer in southwest,
and thorsen up in north Hollywood
are all putting together a list of cops who they believe
would be able to take a stand for police reform.
Are there any rumors about pushback?
Not yet.
So far, we've managed to stay under the radar,
but it won't last.
That's when the pressure campaign will start.
They'll accuse us of being woke and betraying the badge.
Any possibility that that's already started?
And that the billboard calling me out
for being a dirty cop is the pushback,
trying to undercut us before we get started?
Well, billboards are not cheap.
And most likely, they would come after all of us.
Whoever did this billboard seems like they hate only you.
Who would hate me?
Dozens of people currently sitting in prison.
Fair enough.
And there's no way that we can just
get the billboard taken down?
I mean... I mean, it's not technically libel.
They're just asking a question.
Yeah, a question that's gonna keep us from adopting.
So your first solo ride. Are you nervous?
You know, I'm looking forward to it, actually.
There's a certain freedom that comes with
making all my own decisions.
Good. You're gonna do great.
And we're all just a radio call away.
I'm just a call away for you, too.
Everything ok?
Luna got Rachel an interview at the hospital,
but she didn't show up.
That's not like Rachel.
I mean, it didn't used to be.
But now, I... I don't know.
I-I feel like something has been off ever since New York.
Look, I'm sure she'd talk to you if something was wrong.
I'm not sure she would.
I mean, as soon as she moved out,
it just feels like she's been avoiding me.
Do you think maybe we should talk to her?
I mean, that... that sounds more like
a best friend situation than an ex-boyfriend situation.
Thanks for the support.
Yeah, anytime.
Let's go, boot.
Would you care for my two cents?
Yes, always.
If she's going through something,
knowing someone cares might be exactly what she needs.
- Hi. - Hi.
I totally forgot to tell you
the cable guy is coming to fix the Wi-Fi today.
- Could you let him in? - Yeah, of course.
All I'm doing today is finishing up this song
about this super-sexy girl.
Hold that thought.
I gotta arrest a guy.
Ok, sorry.
You were saying something about a sexy girl who
it was gonna be about how
she lights up the room with her beautiful smile,
but now it's about how she wields her fists of fury.
Ooh, hold that thought.
Well, why can't I be both?
You know, a girl that can light up a room and also kick butt?
That you can.
Listen, I want to make a demo of this,
but I don't have any of my gear.
Is it ok if I bring over some of my sound system from home?
A sound system? That sounds like a whole thing.
No, it's totally noninvasive, I promise.
Boy. I gotta go.
Are you showing off?
No, sir. Just got lucky.
- Well, keep it up. - Yes, sir.
Eyes up, boot.
Sorry, sir.
I just had a momentary weakening of spirit.
I was looking at apartments,
hoping they had magically gotten cheaper.
I thought you were gonna hold off
till after you graduated from the fto program.
Yes, sir.
My Nana always said you can't get lard
unless you borrow the hog.
Meaning you gotta do the hard work to get what you want.
If I spend the next year saving money,
I should be able to afford a decent place.
That's admirable.
Yeah, too many people these days subscribe
to the "treat yo-self" school of self-care.
As opposed to the monastic life you live?
No disrespect intended.
I aspire to a level of discipline
boot, stop while you're behind.
Yes, sir.
Just call her.
You're right. Thank you.
Hey. How are you?
Hey, I'm good.
I... I heard that you missed your interview
at the hospital this morning.
Are you... are you ok?
That was so embarrassing.
They sent out a gmail after I scheduled the interview,
but I use outlook.
The wires must have gotten crossed
and it landed on the wrong date.
Ok.
Well, I... I bet you Luna would appreciate a call.
Absolutely. On it.
I should go. Crazy day.
That was weird.
She was weird, right?
I don't know her well enough to answer that.
But it did seem a little over explaining
with a side order of forced cheerfulness.
Exactly.
Control, we have a 23-103
headed north on Benedict canyon.
Expired plates.
Belongs to a Viggo Nash. It's clear and valid.
All right. Let's check it out.
Hey, fill us in.
The victim's name is Viggo Nash.
He's a Las Vegas native.
Moved to boyle heights with his wife, Sadie, about a year ago.
Any idea what he was doing in this neighborhood?
No, but he does have a record in Vegas.
Several misdemeanors, and one armed robbery.
But nothing since he moved to la.
Nothing that we know of.
Any luck on the bike?
No. It's a red Ducati 1198.
No plates. We got a bolo out.
I sent waters to put eyes on the victim's house
until Nolan and chan can make the death notification.
All right, go.
I will reach out to Vegas pd
and see if they can give us any context on our victim.
Hey, officer, what's going on?
Hold up.
Penn? Is that you?
Aj?
Aj, how you doing, man? It's been a minute.
It sure has.
Man, look at you rocking that LAPD uniform.
Look at me? Look at you!
Word on the street is
you taking the chargers all the way to the super bowl.
Yeah, man, it's a great team.
A lot of talent on that field, man.
But hey, I got some,
folks stopping by the house later tonight.
You should come by.
I mean, unless you got work.
My shift ends at 6:00, but then I'm free.
- Love that. - All right, man.
It's good seeing you.
Yeah, man.
Was that aj Knox?
Yes, sir. I take it you're a fan?
I mean, I've only watched every snap
he's taken with the chargers.
He's the reason you guys won that college championship.
Don't I know it. Aj's got a golden arm.
And a $100 million contract.
And he's driving my dream car.
- Stings a little? - Nah.
Nah, I'm good.
I'm saving lives and he's playing a game.
Hey. This isn't a good time.
Just a quick question.
Is it ok if I flip the couch around just temporarily?
I guess so, but why?
I'm not getting the full perceptual nuance I need.
My god.
Is that my living room?
Well, I... I... I thought you said it was noninvasive.
Why are the speakers so huge?
I'm so glad you asked.
It's because bigger speakers
are more sensitive than smaller ones.
They suppress less of mid range and treble.
You get more of an even frequency response.
Get them out.
Before Lucy gets home, they better be gone.
Ok, but you're missing out
on a truly satisfying aural experience.
Whatever.
Wait, did the cable guy ever come fix the Wi-Fi?
Yeah. He was useless.
I told him I'd handle it.
And did you?
No.
But I will.
That's the bike.
- I gotta go. - What?
Control, 7-Lincoln-13.
I need a couple more units for an atl.
I have the suspect motorcycle on the 246,
located at the victim's house.
Copy. Attaching units
for an attempt to locate on the 246 suspect.
7-Adam-15 is five minutes out.
They are advising you wait to enter.
Negative, control.
Signs of distress coming from inside.
I'm making entry. Please alert responding units.
Police!
I'm in the house!
Come out and your hands better be empty!
You're ok. Everything's ok.
Control, 7-Lincoln-13.
Requesting an ra at my location.
I have a female victim.
She's semi-conscious and breathing.
Clear signs of torture.
I
Ok, I hear the suspect fleeing the house, back door.
I... I have to stay with the victim.
Where's my backup?
Police! Put your hands up!
Do it now!
Grenade!
Control, our 187 suspect's fled the scene
after trying to kill us with a grenade.
Black pants, black jacket, striped helmet.
Mobilize airship and backup.
- You ok? - No, I'm pissed off.
It's not in our job description to be dodging grenades.
Are you ok?
Thank you.
Nice work disabling the motorcycle.
Thank you.
She's stable and they're taking her to St. Stephen.
Did she identify her attacker?
No, she wasn't conscious. He was clearly torturing her.
So the bike is registered to Mac Wheeler,
known associate of Viggo Nash.
They've pulled a number of jobs together over the years.
I guess they had a falling out.
Mack threw a grenade at Viggo.
Why not take out the wife the same way?
Maybe Viggo was a rush job because we pulled him over.
Or maybe he's worried about what he'll say to the cops.
Seems likely.
Nolan.
Come on.
Seriously?
Well, it's for reference.
And the group chat.
All right. Thanks.
The wife is in bad shape.
Traumatic brain injury, broken facial bones,
and a ruptured spleen.
She won't be able to talk any time soon.
I'm gonna double the security detail
once she's out of surgery.
That's a good call.
I know that is not what I think it is.
And why would they use that picture?
This was more fun when it was just Nolan.
Well, this is good news.
I fail to see how.
Ok.
Nolan's bus ad crosses the line.
Fun fact, it was meant to be a question Mark,
but the printer screwed up and put a period instead.
Which is great for us because it states
that his alleged corruption is a fact rather than a question,
a fact that is provably untrue
and, because you're a public officer,
is libel, slander, and defamation of character.
You have been investigated by ia.
Yeah, and exonerated.
Which is the important part.
The preponderance of evidence is heavily in your favor.
Ok, what about us? Ours is just a question.
Yeah, yours, is... is trickier.
Meaning there's nothing you can do?
For now.
But it does say something about who's behind this, right?
If it's a criminal,
it's someone all three of us put away.
I'll start putting together a list.
I'll subpoena the advertising company, see who paid for them.
Howdy.
Today's reports.
Every I dotted, every t crossed.
Just view and approve.
That was fast.
You got big plans tonight?
Aj invited me over.
Yeah, that sounds like fun, but
rp on the unattended death case,
I don't see a transcript of her statement.
It's a 911 call.
You need a separate statement.
Do it by phone. It'll take you 15 minutes.
- Hey. - Hey.
- Having trouble? - Yeah, a little.
I'm exhausted.
Tell me about it.
What happened to your face?
That was grenade number two.
There's a grenade number one?
Ms. Greer.
Did we have something scheduled for today?
No.
Well, I was driving home
and I saw a billboard with your face on it.
And a bus.
And an ad on top of the taxi.
I don't know what that's called.
Yeah, I can explain that.
I can't wait.
Hold on there, partner.
- I know you? - No, sir.
I'm friends with the homeowner, aj.
We used to play ball together. He invited me to stop by.
I'm gonna need to frisk you.
Yeah, that ain't gonna happen.
I'm an off-duty cop.
I got my piece on my hip and joy in my soul.
Seriously, you ain't gonna put your hands on me.
Aj say anything to you about a cop coming by?
Yeah. Yeah, let him in.
Thank you kindly.
Sean Larson.
Miles penn.
This way.
Nice party.
It's not a party. It's a Tuesday.
And sadly, I haven't met Taylor yet, but huge fan.
There he is.
I see you already met Sean, my childhood best friend.
Currently his personal trainer and chief of staff.
That's just a fancy way of saying he makes my smoothies.
We needed a title for tax purposes.
This house is... it's ridiculous.
I know.
Hey, you gonna hang all night, right?
Yeah, for a while. I'm off tomorrow.
Hey, yo, man, I got plenty of rooms,
rooms I don't even go in.
All right? So just pick a bed and crash.
That way, you can just enjoy yourself.
You deserve it.
Yeah.
- Yeah, you know what? I do. - Aj.
It's interview time. Hey, come with me.
Thank you.
How do I look?
Like you're living your dream.
Hey, aj.
The guys are almost ready for you.
Thanks. We're good to go on this end.
Aj, thanks for taking the time.
Always a pleasure.
- How's the off season going? - Great.
Getting my two-a-days in,
trying to get a little more lean, a little more nimble.
All right, the draft is coming up.
If you were the gm, who would you pick?
Are you trying to get me in trouble with the boss?
I got to get at least one super bowl ring
before I can make personnel decisions.
Look, it's no secret
that I could use better protection on the blind side.
And a little more depth at rb wouldn't hurt.
In fact, I wish I could hand it off to this beast again.
You remember miles penn, my old college running back?
Now he's a big-time cop here in la.
Of course, we did a whole story
on the untimely end of your college career.
Yeah, well... thank you for bringing that up.
But it was the best thing that could have happened to me.
Right. Well, miles, thank you for your service.
Aj, you brought up the super bowl.
The chargers are the favorites to win it all.
Hey, anything can happen.
But there was a corruption investigation?
Yes, but that was because I was being framed
by another cop, Nick Armstrong.
John was a hero.
What can you tell me about the incident
during the honeymoon?
There was a small hostage situation.
Weird fluke. You know how those happen.
Weren't you held hostage on a bus recently?
Starting to sound like a habit.
Well, I... I mean
I'm sure you've placed children with first responders before.
I mean, we all got crazy stories.
Yours are in another stratosphere.
I understand your ex-husband passed away recently.
That is correct.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
May I ask what happened, how he died?
He was shot by a hitman.
Which I... I know that sounds bad.
And you're probably going to ask about
when I drowned in that tank,
- but... - I'm sorry, what tank?
You know
that was... that sounds far more dramatic than it was.
Maybe it would be quicker to talk about
the workdays you didn't almost die.
Those don't look like the usual duties
for a chief of staff.
You know, this room is off-limits.
Does aj know you're palming his jewelry?
Aj said I could borrow it.
All of it?
Even that ice around your neck?
Now, these were a gift.
Ok.
Why am I getting the third degree?
I mean, you're not on duty.
Just looking out for my qb.
That's my job now.
So why don't you go enjoy
a glimpse of the life you threw away?
And make sure to check out that pool deck.
Just don't get any ideas jumping from that roof again.
Well, I think I have what I need
unless there's another near-death experience
or a toxic family member
or criminal arch-Nemesis I need to know about?
No, I think you pretty much
covered them all in great detail.
Listen, you both are brave, dedicated people,
and I can see the love that you have for each other.
I have no doubt in my mind about your characters.
But there's no adoption agency in the world
that would consider you given the extreme amount
of danger you have in your lives.
I'm sorry.
No, we just got here.
We don't have to leave, all right.
Let's just go somewhere more quiet.
I didn't come here for quiet. I came here to dance.
Hey, you're Lucy's friend, right?
Do I know you?
I'm miles. I work with Lucy and Tim.
I'm the new rookie.
Right.
Hey.
We're talking.
Doesn't seem like she's interested.
Why don't you back off?
Walk away and do not speak to her again.
- Thanks. - Anytime.
So what, brings a cop to a party like this?
A strange drive to humiliate myself, I guess.
Ok.
I love this song!
Yes... yeah, it's great, but,
it's almost 4:00 A.M. and I'm about to turn in.
Come on, one more dance.
No, how about I give you a ride home instead?
Boring.
Hey!
What happened?
Hey, so I'm at this party.
You know aj Knox, the chargers quarterback?
Dude, if you call me this late at night
- to talk football... - No, no, no, no.
Sorry, the thing is, your friend Rachel is here,
and maybe I'm overreacting, but
miles, say what you're gonna say, man.
She's wasted. All right?
And I tried to offer her a ride home,
but she said no and I don't want to just leave her here,
but I'm worried somebody's gonna take advantage of her.
I got it.
Will you just text me the address?
And I will head over there right now.
- All right. Thank you. - No, thank you.
Thank you so much. Thanks for looking out for her.
There's something in here.
Ooh. Sorry, is it too loud?
No, no, not at all.
Wait, did somebody scream earlier?
That was me. Ghosts are scary.
Rodge fixed the Wi-Fi.
Yeah, I updated your firmware
and I added a wireless repeater to supercharge your speed.
- And... - Where are you going?
Actually, Rachel is partying in bel-air,
and apparently, she needs help, so.
Do you need company?
No, no. It's ok.
Well, I, for one, would feel better if you had some backup.
And what exactly would you do if things went sideways?
I'm gonna let celina and her fists of fury handle it.
Ok.
I wrote a song about it. I'll sing it to you on the way.
Awesome.
Ooh, what about this one?
Margarita lehrer voted number one adoption attorney
in southern California.
Margarita says,
"I can help make your family's dreams come true."
Does she specialize in dangerous adoptive parents?
We're not dangerous.
Our lives are just... full of danger.
Look, let's say we ignore the agency's concerns
and we hire a lawyer.
The way adoptions work today,
the birth mother would still have to pick us,
you know, over all the other
candidates who don't risk their lives every day.
And then let's say we get a baby,
and heaven forbid something happens to one of us
or both of us.
What then?
I mean, it's not like we have any family that can help out.
You have Pete.
Like I said, there would be no help.
I mean, maybe the social worker is right.
I spend my days running towards gunfire
and you spend your days literally running into fire.
We both love our jobs.
Some people go their entire lives
without finding their passions.
Right. I found my passion.
And then I found you.
And I wake up every day and I think to myself,
I am the luckiest guy in the world.
We do have a great life, don't we?
We really do.
Then why do I feel so sad?
Hello.
New uniforms?
This is not official business.
We're just here to look for a guest.
It'll only take a minute.
Thank you.
I don't have a badge, but I am with them.
I just came with them.
Celina!
He's with me.
Rachel.
Lucy!
- Hello. - Hi! What are you doing here?
Are you here with Mitch?
Miles.
Yeah, I thought you learned your lesson
about dating at work.
But, hey, I get it.
He looks like he knows his way around.
- No, no. No more of that... - celina!
And guy I don't know.
That's my boyfriend, rodge.
Hi, boyfriend rodge.
You guys look like you could use some drinks.
Well, I mean, rach, the sun is out.
I mean, the bartender's probably gone home.
She seems mostly fine, thank god.
This house is amazing.
Wonder what kind of speakers he's got.
"She seems fine."
Are you here to check up on me?
Ok, so miles called.
And, after what happened at the hospital this morning, I
I admit I was worried.
Don't be.
Ok.
I can take care of myself.
Ok.
Ooh, ok. So now what do we do?
We need to find her.
No, no. Look, look, listen, listen.
I am not backing out.
I'm just saying maybe we wait a beat.
There's a complicating factor.
Morning.
How'd you sleep?
I didn't.
There's a whole party still going on.
Nah, Duncan's cleaning out the stragglers.
Hey, you want some of this protein coffee?
Sean special-orders the beans from Colombia.
I'm sure it's costing me an arm and a leg.
Maybe later.
Hey, listen, about Sean.
I caught him palming some of your stuff last night.
He tried to play it off like you was loaning it to him,
- but... - yeah.
He thinks he's slick.
Wait, so you... you know that he's stealing from you?
Well, he calls it borrowing, and I let him.
But I don't leave any of the good stuff around
where he can get to it.
You're already paying him.
He shouldn't be skimming, too.
And the people who were hanging out in your house
basically trashed the place.
They ain't your friends, aj.
They should have more respect for you.
I know.
I was alone a lot growing up.
My mom worked two jobs
and the apartment was barely big enough for the two of us.
No way I could have friends over.
I just remember thinking one day, I'm gonna be rich.
I'm gonna throw the best parties
and everyone is gonna wanna hang out at my house.
Look, the chargers gave me a $100 million deal.
No way I could spend that much money in two lifetimes.
But I like to have people around.
And if that means I gotta keep the drinks flowing
and put some people on the payroll,
I'm cool with that.
I get that.
But if something crazy goes down at one of these parties,
it's gonna be your name in the headline.
It's your life and career on the line.
Not Sean's.
You gotta be careful who you let get close.
You volunteering?
Nah, man.
I already got a job.
Yeah, but does it pay 300k?
Because that's the salary I'd start you on
to come run my security detail.
I mean, that... that is some real money, but
hey, no, no. Don't say no just yet, man.
Just think about it.
All of this.
My lifestyle...
Would be your lifestyle.
His name is Mac Wheeler.
My husband pulled a few jobs with him in Vegas.
Why did he torture you?
To see if Viggo told anyone else about the job
they were supposed to pull.
Before Viggo got cold feet.
What job?
Robbing some rich guy's house.
Viggo thought it was supposed to be
just a straight-up robbery, but then he found out
there was more to it, so he told Wheeler he was out.
More to it like what?
I don't know, but it must have been bad
because Viggo and his guilty conscience.
He was going to the guy's house to warn him.
When Wheeler caught him and blew him up.
Ma'am, do you have any idea of who the target might be?
Some football star.
Aj Knox.
A bowling alley? God, how big is this place?
Every time I feel like we've searched it all,
we find another room.
You know, maybe Rachel took an Uber home.
God.
Hey, I gotta take this.
Yeah.
Hey. Is Rachel with you?
- No. Are you here? - Well, yeah.
We've been looking for her,
but she must have gone to ground or passed out somewhere.
Morning, my brothers.
Today's smoothie is strawberry spinach.
- With bee pollen? - Yes, sir.
No, thanks. I'm allergic to strawberries.
Sorry, what?
Nothing. I... I wasn't talking to you.
Hold on. Harper's calling me.
I'm gonna go look when I... when I'm free, a'ight?
Ok.
Hey.
I heard you're at aj Knox's place.
Yeah?
We think he's being targeted by a home invasion crew.
What?
And there's an inside man.
He drugged the smoothies! I gotta go! Send... send backup!
Sean, show me your hands!
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Relax, relax.
Come on! We gotta go.
Let's go.
Thank god.
Jeez.
I sang her a lullaby and she passed right out.
Was that... yes. Lock the door and barricade it.
I don't understand.
Sean sold you out. I don't know why.
But that home invasion crew means business.
You have a pool inside, too?
Damn, he's got a pool inside, too?
Hey. What is going on?
We got two men,
one shotgun, one handgun, and inside man, Sean.
Ok, well, backup's been called.
We just gotta hold them off until they get here.
Watch out!
Got me between a rock and a hard place here, miles!
You sold me out?
I had no choice!
I got in bed with the wrong people,
owed them too much money.
This was supposed to be an easy job.
It was supposed to look like
you got hurt in a home invasion.
I put money on you not being able to play this season.
It would have paid out more than enough
to get me out of debt,
but old home week had to show up and ruin it all!
Damn, son.
You didn't learn that on the football field.
Don't move!
Slowly place your weapons on the ground.
Interlace your fingers on your heads and step down to me.
Turn around.
You don't have a grenade hidden on you anywhere, do you?
Well, not to judge,
but that sounds like poor planning.
You did all right today.
Thanks.
What?
Nothing.
Come on, man. Spill it.
Aj offered me a job.
Private security, twice the salary as LAPD.
What'd you say?
Haven't given him an answer yet,
but I'm thinking about it.
It's a sweet life.
Sleeping in mansions, flying on private jets.
I mean, it beats watching smitty
do tai chi in his undies every morning.
You disagree?
You go with aj...
You'd be a go-fer personal assistant,
paid friend.
The life you wanted that aj has,
that wouldn't be yours, it'd be his.
And it would eat you up inside once you realized it.
With all due respect, sir,
half the time, I feel like I'm your go-fer.
Except you don't have hot girls around you 24/7
and I live in my car.
All right, man.
You're really gonna make me say it out loud?
Say what?
You're a good cop, Texas.
Or at least you will be when I'm done with you.
Look.
When you blew out your knee,
you could have grabbed on to aj's coattails then,
but you didn't.
You wanted to be your own man, right?
So don't go wasting all that talent taking the easy road.
I swear, if the scouts came to my high school,
I could have gone pro.
I could throw the ball over mount baldy.
Where'd you go to school that scouts couldn't reach you?
Exactly.
Who was that guy?
A nuisance.
Thanks for the threads.
I'll wash them before I give them back to you.
Nah, I got plenty.
Have you thought more about my offer?
I need you on my team.
I'ma have to decline.
You saying no?
For real?
The football life is... It's your calling.
My calling is here.
I'm glad you found your place.
If you ever need anything from me, it's yours.
I mean, how about season tickets?
For both of us.
Done.
That was a good decision.
Now go finish up that paperwork
so we can be squared away for tomorrow.
Get in early, get the shop set up.
We're 10-8 right after roll call.
Yes, sir.
Hey, Nolan.
- I got some great news for you. - Fantastic.
I could use a win.
Is everything ok?
No, I'm fine. Ignore me. Go ahead.
The billboards are no more.
- You're kidding. They're gone? - Yeah.
The billboard company feared a defamation suit,
so they threw the buyer under the bus immediately.
Who was it?
It's a complicated tangle of accounts
all leading back to Liam glasser.
Serial killer Liam glasser is the billboard man?
Well, his trial's coming up.
He's trying to taint the jury pool,
which is super-illegal.
Not a bad plan, though.
Make the prime witnesses against you look corrupt?
How'd he do it from prison, though?
I'd bet money his lawyer's in on it.
And if he is, I'm gonna get his ass disbarred.
Hey, thanks for coming to find me last night.
Or this morning, whenever that happened.
Of course. How's your hangover?
- Epic. - Yeah.
Yeah.
Look, Rachel,
I... I can't help but feel like something's going on.
I'm here for you.
You don't have to talk to me, of course.
But maybe you should talk to somebody.
I know.
My, dad died a few months ago.
- Prostate cancer. - My god.
I'm so sorry. I didn't know.
I didn't tell anyone.
I couldn't talk about it.
Living it was hard enough.
I was with him constantly.
First in the hospital and then in hospice.
Every day was so awful and draining.
And... I couldn't stop thinking about everything
he was going through.
I didn't want to be alone,
but I didn't want to talk about it.
And strangers don't ask me how I'm doing.
At clubs or parties, I can just stop thinking
and be someone else.
Someone who's not sad all the time.
I'm so sorry.
You are gonna get through this.
And I'm here for you, whatever you need.
I'm sorry.
Welcome home.
I took a nap in case
tonight's gonna be as much fun as last night.
I wouldn't exactly call that fun.
Wow, that smells amazing.
Thank you.
I did a couple semesters at, culinary school
before I devoted myself to music full-time.
Lucky me.
Listen, these last couple of days have been great.
- But you're kicking me out. - No, it's just
yes.
But not because you did anything wrong.
It's just too soon for us.
You know, we just started dating
and we have to build up to living together.
You know, new relationships need the space between.
New album title. I called it.
It's fine.
Rat squad finished up at my place today.
It's safe for me to return.
I bet those giant speakers really miss you.
Mock me all you want.
Once you've heard "burden in my hand"
on a vintage technics sl-1200 turntable
through sansui sp-g300 speakers,
you will never be the same.
I'll take your word for it.
- Hello. - Hey.
What is this?
A spontaneous la gun a beach getaway.
You and me, a couple of dinks.
- Excuse me? - Dual income, no kids.
Is this...
Is this your way of looking at the bright side?
It is.
I also think we should volunteer.
James said he'd help us find the perfect program.
I think that is a wonderful idea.
So no more grenades?
Just the one I'm about to set off in the bedroom with you.
Are you happy with the way that came out?
No, but you're gonna be happy with how
I know that's not gonna work either.
You wanna go have sex or you wanna keep trying?
On one hand, I'm no quitter.
On the other hand...
Damn it.
