The Rookie

Previously on "The Rookie"...Sandra: "Querida Angela, in my country,

we tie a red ribbon around the baby's wrist

"to ward off evil."

I'll be out of here - before you know it. - No, you won't.

You can lie to yourself about it if you want...

just like you lied to yourself about Diego.

Diego!

You look amazing.

All right. And something new.

It's like Mary Poppins in there.

Uh, the wedding's in 10.

I'm coming!

Angela?

Breach team is in position.

Copy that... no sentries on roof.

But drone infrared is not able to penetrate the structure,

so I don't know what's waiting for you inside.

Well, let's go find out. Just say the word.

I repeat, we're green and go.

Nolan: Guys, Angela's gone. Lucy: I can't find Jackson.

Harper: Malos Dorados just hit the prison transport.

- They freed La Fiera. - Tim: She must've taken them.

Lucy: We got surveillance video

of Lopez and Jackson being taken.

It's being uploaded now.

Tim: Sir, the breach team is ready.

We're ready to breach.

Sarge, are you there?

Stand by.

Drone's finishing its pass.

Sarge, you should wait for my guys to breach.

- We can be ready in 20. - It's been three hours

since Officer West was killed and Lopez taken.

We traced the kidnap vehicle here.

We're going in now.

Breach team, take the warehouse.

- Clear. - Clear.

Harper: Clear.

Guys, it's Lopez's dress.

Stop!

There's a trip wire running from the dress under the SUV.

C4... couple pounds of it.

All right, we're outta here... same way we came in.

Everyone move slowly and keep your eyes peeled

for any more booby-traps.

Tim: Sir, the warehouse is empty,

but they left an IED behind.

We're gonna need the bomb squad.

Understood.

Any sign of Lopez? Just an empty wedding dress.

Most likely, they had a switch vehicle in place.

Given the timeline, I'd say they've been on the road

- at least 40 minutes. - It's too much time.

They could be halfway to anywhere by now.

Sir, we need that bomb squad ASAP

so we can process this scene.

Our only hope of finding Lopez

is to ID the switch vehicle.

Nolan: Guys?

They didn't have a switch car waiting.

They used this old road as a makeshift runway.

They had a plane.

I told you I'd be out before you know it.

Where are you taking me?

Home...

where I am the strongest.

You're wondering why you're still alive.

It's not hard to guess.

Killing me quickly wouldn't be satisfying

after I called you out for Diego's death.

So you're taking me with you

where she can break out the toolbox and make it hurt.

No.

Abril isn't here to hurt you, her man a.

She is here to protect you.

Or rather, to protect Axel niño.

You see, I'm not going to kill you.

Not yet, anyway.

Not until...

my baby is born.

- That's not good enough. - Taggart: With all due respect,

you wouldn't be in this meeting unless a U.S. Senator

didn't owe your family a favor.

My fiancée was just abducted by a cartel queen pin

who is running circles around the DEA,

so don't give me that... Okay! Okay, okay.

This is getting us nowhere.

So...

what are you doing to get my detective back alive?

The DEA is using all available resources

to track down any intel on La Fiera's recent actions.

But here's the hard truth... you have no proof

that Detective Lopez was even on that plane.

If they were going to kill her, they would have done it

at the same time as Officer West.

She's still alive...

and I'm not gonna lose another cop.

- Do you understand me? - If we get proof that Angela was on that plane,

you'll go get her?

Look, believe it or not, I am not a bad guy.

But when you are this high up the federal food chain,

there is a layer of politics that needs to be navigated.

Now, the reality is, you could bring me that proof.

I can't act on it... not right away.

If we don't move heaven and earth to protect our own,

it'll be open season on cops!

Even a suit like you should understand that.

Sergeant, I share your frustration...

My frustration?!

I lost a kid who was like a son to me!

What I'm feeling... is biblical!

So, if you are done wasting my time,

I have a killer to catch and a friend to save.

Do you at least know where La Fiera would take Angela?

Ascertaining that information

is our number-one priority.

Mine, too.

Welcome to your new home.

It's beautiful, no?

I had it built with the look of the old world

with the comforts of the new.

And the security.

This place is defensible against everything

short of an air strike.

Para hacerta fácil.

I'll save you the trouble.

We have six guard teams, two with dogs.

But we rotate them daily so they don't fall into a routine.

But you'll never get to test that,

because for the next three months,

I will not be leaving your side.

Lucky me. Come.

Let me show you to your room.

Bienvenida.

You didn't tell me que es tan bonita.

This is Dr. Morales.

She brought my angel Diego into this world.

And she'll be living here with you,

solely focused on you and the baby.

Let's get you settled so I can check your vitals...

make sure the baby's fine after all your recent stress.

Don't touch me.

Hermana, you seem to misunderstand.

You have no choice here.

No free will.

You are here as a surrogate for my child.

As long as you play nice, you will want for nothing.

A life full of pure luxury.

But if you resist...

if you cause trouble...

Dr. Morales will put you into a twilight sleep,

and you will spend the next three months

as an incubator...

not even conscious when your baby comes

and your life ends.

Lucy: I almost got us all killed.

That trip wire was nearly invisible.

I only saw it because I had the right angle.

That's not the point. I should've known to look.

Well, that sounds like a failure in training.

Perhaps you should bring it up with Tim.

Can you imagine?

I ca... I can't believe Jackson's gone.

I know.

Do you really think that Lopez is still alive?

Yes, I do.

Why?

'Cause they took her.

If they wanted to kill her,

it would've been easier just to do it on site.

Yeah, but maybe less satisfying.

Maybe La Fiera wanted to kill her personally.

Look, we can't think like that.

Tim: No, Harper's right.

We have to look at this with cop eyes.

Now, give me a reason why La Fiera would go through the trouble

of taking Lopez to Guatemala with her.

The baby.

The two women bonded over motherhood.

Diego's death would have devastated La Fiera.

Psychologically, she'd need a scapegoat

- for her anger and grief. - That was Cesar, and she killed him.

Yeah, but that didn't bring her son back.

And then we caught her.

Could that turn her rage on us?

Specifically, on Lopez, who she felt

betrayed the bond that they shared.

If La Fiera truly wants to hurt Lopez,

taking her baby is the ultimate revenge.

- Yeah... that, I buy. - Mm-hmm.

What happened?

- We're on our own. - Lucy: What?

How can the DEA - not help us? - Politics.

Harper: - W-We can't just do nothing. - Sgt. Grey: We're not going to.

Job one... track down the man who killed Officer West.

I reviewed the security footage.

Our killer clearly reacted to something physical

right before he shot Officer West.

He yanked his arm back.

Nolan: Jackson scratched him. He knew he was gonna die.
