The Rookie

Y-You're not listening.

I can destroy your life with the click of a button.

These pictures will go to every one of your contacts.

Todd: Please, I don't have that kind of money.

5,000 in Bitcoin or you lose everything.

Nolan: LAPD.

I'll, uh -- I'll -- I'll get right back to you.

Afternoon. Can I get your name?

Uh, Dennis Kern. Why? What's, uh -- What's going on?

We got a report from your neighbor.

Someone in this apartment's stealing Wi-Fi?

Todd: Police! Help! Can you hear me?

Who was that?Nothing.

Help!

Step back, Dennis.

Hello?

O-Over here. On the computer.

Oh. Hello. Who are you?

Todd Asher. I'm that little bastard's PE teacher.

He's blackmailing me with pictures

he hacked from my computer.

Oh, well, that was stupid, Dennis.

And very illegal.

Gonna have to call your parents.

Which one do you think will be less pissed?

Um...my dad.

Great. What's your mom's number?

Sir, I'm gonna need your address

so we can send a unit to your house to take a statement.

Sure, but I have to get those photos back.

Please. I-If they get out --

Alright. How about I -- Oh!

Hey. Good morning.

Good morning.I hope you're hungry.

I'm making pecan pancakes. Your favorite.

Uh, they would be, except for the whole

I'm-allergic-to-nuts thing.

You are? Since when?

Uh, that would be since the day you birthed me.

And your flight back to Pennsylvania is in three hours.

A-Are you packed yet?

Oh, I canceled my ticket.

You what? Mom, we -- we agreed

you'd only stay the one night.

No, you agreed.

I'll get that. Mother.

Turn them before they burn.

Mom, this is not entirely optimal for me.

You know I have to behyper-focused on work right now.

Come on. Come on.

Put them right there in the corner.

What's in the boxes?

Well, I thought since you're "hyper-focused on work"

that I'd make use of my time.

I came across this great deal from a wholesaler of CBD oil.

Professor Hempstein'sOrganic CBD Oil?

Relax. Marijuana is legal in California.

As a cop, you should know that.

I do. So this is what you spent your money on

when you soldthe engagement ring?

No!

W-- I mean, not all of it.

A-And what, do you planon staying here untilyou sell it all?

Don't you think you should haveasked me first, Mom?

I told you to flip the pancakes!

Doug: Show me your hands now!

Ronda: What are you doing?!

Lady, I will knock your ass out!

Shawn: Get your hands off my wife!

Everybody on the ground now!

I-I live up the street. I'm a cop.

Relax. It's me.

Sarge. Good morning.

I, uh, saw the shop creeping up --

I get it.

My dad's a cop. I'm a cop.

I shouldn't panic at the sight --

West, I've been a Black man

a lot longer than you have.

I get it.

Why are you here, sir?

You were right.

Benching Officer Stanton isn't enough.

He's a disgrace to the badge. He has to go.

But your hands are tied, right?

Mine are, but yours aren't.

So, son, what are you willing to risk

to take Stanton off the job?

Whatever it takes, sir. Good.

See, I've crossed paths with a hundred cops like Stanton,

the kind that dip their toes over the line constantly,

but nothing egregious,

nothing flagrant, nothing actionable.

And he knows what he can get away with.

Yep. So how do I get him?

You're going to "keep book."

Chronicle every offense, big or small.

If we're lucky, the accumulation of infractions

will be enough to take his gun and his badge.

Isn't thishow Nolan and Harper

got in troublewith Internal Affairs?

They didn't have supervision. You got me.

For now, you're just keeping book.

When we get enough, we go to IA.

If we go before, we put your father in a bad position.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

I won't let you down.

Now, listen closely.

Doug Stanton can know nothing about this.

Act like his best friend.

Don't give him any reason to suspect.

Only Bradford and Chen are in the know about this.

I'm gonna assign you all to the same sector,

so every time you and Stanton take a call,

they will be automatically filled.

Okay, I can handle myself.

Non-negotiable, West.

If you're going after Stanton, you're gonna have backup.

Really?

What? Our baby has weird taste.

Probably gets it from your side of the family.

This is awful.

Full of fat,preservatives, sugar.

It's evil in a jar. Don't evenget me started on the pickles.

Wehave to watch what you eat.

You don't have to watch anything.

Hey, did you make an appointment to see my mom's OB/GYN yet?

I'm not going to your mom's lady doctor.

I'm happy with mine, just like I'm happy

eating pickles Santa style.

She's a renowned specialist.The best.

I mean, don't you want the best for our baby?

Wesley, I love you dearly,

but you're so WASP-y sometimes.

I get it. You're an only child.

But my mom brought five kids into this world

while working two jobs

and eating whatever the hell she wanted.

Women have babies all the time.

It's easy. Don't make it so hard.

Angela, I just think that we --

Stop micromanaging my pregnancy.

Ourpregnancy.

Oh, really?

Who wears the stretchy pants in this family?

Exactly.

You're driving today. I am?

Mm-hmm. Until about 9:05.What happens at 9:05?

Actually, it's what happens at 9:00 a.m. sharp that matters.

Lila wants to take this summer class at the Music Academy,

and spots are extremely limited,

so if I miss the registration window,

she can't get in.But what if we get a call?

Wouldn't it be safer if your ex did that?

You think that I can't handle

enrolling my own daughter into a class?

No, of course not.'Cause my baby wants classes at the Music Academy.

I -- I can get her classes at the Music Academy.

Is this a repeat of an argument you had earlier

with your ex-husband?

No.

Get into the shop.

Let's go.

Catch the game last night?

Yeah. It was brutal.

Can't believe they were able to come back on us.

Uh-huh. Yeah, I believed.

That's why I won 200 bucks.

Anything look out of place to you?

Uh, I don't --

Dispatch, 7-Adam-07,

show us at a pedestrian stop, Waring and Seward.

Seward and Waring. Let's go.

Relax. We can't be too obvious.

Doug realizes we're shadowing him, Jackson's screwed.

We'll get close, wait to see if it escalates.

Hey, bud. Live around here?

No, sir. Just came from a friend's.

Ah. Where you off to now?

Bus stop.Bus stop's that way.

Got any I.D.?

Yes, sir.

Dispatch, 7-Adam-07.

Clear for a party. Last of Gusta, first of Armand.

DOB, 7-26-1990.

Have you on your way in a second.

Unless she comes back with bad news.

You got any outstanding warrants?

I've never been arrested, sir.

Dispatch: 7-Adam-07, Gusta comes back clear and valid.

There you go.Bus stop's that way, sir.

Thank you, officers.Of course.

See that's the kind of citizen I like.

Knows his place, respects authority.

You know, we wouldn't have half the problems we have

if more of them behaved like that one.

7-Adam-07, Code 4, show us clear.

This so isn't fair to Jackson.

I know. Having to ride next to a guy,
