The Rookie

7‐Adam‐15, show us Code 6 at Shaw Memorial.

What's going on?

A guy came into the ER intoxicated,

complaining of stomach pain.

He's clearly been shot but insisting he's not.

Sir. I hear you're having a little trouble.

Uh, no, just, um, ate some bad sushi.

What's your name? Arnold.

Arnold what?

I‐I don't have to tell you that.

Hey, why ‐‐ why'd you call them?

Sir, she's required by law

to call us when a patient's been shot.

I told you, I ain't been shot.

Just too much gas station sushi.

Well, unless the wasabi

burned a hole straight through your stomach,

I'm forced to assume you're lying to us.

So, how about you tell us what really happened?

Um...

Uh...

He did it!

That's my husband. What ‐‐ Excuse me.

What's going on? Why are you here?

Nolan! Hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

Aah! Hey! Careful, man.

I been shot!

You gonna run away again?

‐No. ‐You got him?

Aah!

Get him an IV antibiotic,

and add 5 milligrams of lorazepam.

‐Are you okay? ‐Yeah, no, yeah, fine.

No, I just ‐‐ I was ‐‐ I got, uh, distracted.

Oh, by what?

Simon, this is Nyla Harper

and...John Nolan.

Uh, nice to meet you, Officers.

You must spend a lot of time here.

Oh, he's here all the time.

Get ‐‐ Got ‐‐ Well, the criminals

and the injury ‐‐ it's constant stuff.

Oh. W‐Well, it's nice to meet you both.

Hey.

Dispatch said you got a gunshot victim.

Yeah, he belong to you?

Unfortunately, yeah.

Guy ate all the sushi

at a gas station on Melrose and Fairfax

and refused to pay.

Things got heated. The owner shot him.

Who's the dude close‐talking with Grace?

That's her husband.

I thought she was divorced.

Not technically.

What?

Nothing. Nothing.

I forgot my deodorant again.

Here. Use mine.

Oh.

I do love a manly musk.

Just not on me.

You're gonna have to start leaving some things here.

Yeah?

Yeah.

What?

Nothing.

You know it's illegal to lie to a cop.

Last week,

I interviewed for my dream job and...

I got it.

Hey, hey! That's great!

It's in New York.

Oh.

Yeah.

Well, I s‐‐ I mean, y‐you have to take it.

Dream jobs only come around once.

Yeah, I know.

When do you start?

Next month.

They have cops in New York.

Yeah.

Do you know where you're gonna live?

Not yet.

Maybe you could, um,

help me target some neighborhoods tonight.

Yeah.

Sure.

We're skipping roll call today.

Grey's got us on special assignment.

Sounds cool and mysterious.

Negative.

We will be escorting some juvenile felons

through a Scared Straight program at Cal Correctional.

Oh, and let me guess ‐‐ you'd rather be on the streets

chasing real criminals. Yep.

I've been to these things before.

It's a lot of chaos and noise ‐‐ and the jury's still out

as to whether it actually makes a difference.

Well, if it helps even one kid, it's made a difference.

This is ‐‐ I ‐‐

Meet me at the Sally Port.

Thank you.

Hey, you. How you doing?

Not great.

Oliver is in some trouble at school.

That's why Simon was here yesterday.

Sorry to hear that.

ICU Nurse Adams to recovery. Thanks.

You know, and I'm sorry

that it was awkward meeting my ex.

You know, it just didn't feel like the right time or place

to introduce you as my boyfriend.

I understand. I knew you would.

Like I know you'll understand

that I need to reschedule dinner tonight.

I think Simon and I have got to get on the same page

about how to handle Oliver.

Over dinner?

I mean, it's the only time he can get off work.

Yeah, right. Of ‐‐ Of course, yeah.

And family comes first.

Um, I have to go right now, but I will talk to you later.

You got a problem.

Both of us?

No, just you.

In the attempt to combat

the high cost of civil litigation,

the LAPD has adopted a pilot program

which uses an algorithm

to target officers who are most likely to get sued.

Seriously? Yeah.

They hired a tech company

run by a supposed genius ‐‐

Elvis Grimaldi.

All due respect, why do we care what this dude thinks?

Because he flagged you

as the most problematic officer in this station,

and he's got the Chief's ear.

Come on, Sarge. I just got the tap for detective.

I'll get passed over if this guy dings me.

Which is why I got him to agree to spend a day with you,

collect more data for his "algorithm."

So you are going to show him

you are a by‐the‐book cop with love in her heart.

Take only the tame calls,

and give him the answers he wants to hear.

You might just skate through this thing.

Alright, line up. Against the van.

Marco Leland ‐‐ assault and battery.

Tyson Renner ‐‐

Hey, unh‐unh.

Up. Off the van. Stand up straight.

Tyson Renner ‐‐ vandalism.

Fletcher Perry ‐‐ auto ‐‐

Auto theft. That turn you on, baby?

Nothing like getting hit on by a 12‐year‐old delinquent

to get your day started.

Hey, yo, I'm 15.

Not better.

What about you? What's your story?

Okay, good talk.

Hector Duran, 17.

Spent three months in juvie for theft and drug possession.

Okay. I'm Officer Nolan. This is Detective Harper.

Together, we're gonna be taking a little field trip

down to the California Correctional Facility.

For those of you who complete today's program,

the rest of your sentences will be commuted.

But this is your last chance.

Get busted again, and the prison we are going to

will become your new home.

Fine by me.

Really? You ever been there?

Hell yeah.

My brother's doing a bid up there.

Not something to be proud of.

Alright. Road trip time.

So, I made some calls.

This Grimaldi guy made a fortune

on a dating app that he sold to Google.

Claims his algorithm is so good

that it can predict compatibility

with a 90% success rate.

Bull.

Maybe. But rumor is Bieber used it to land Hailey.

I don't know who those people are.

You the brain messing with my livelihood?

Mr. Grimaldi, I am Officer West.

This is my training officer, Officer Lopez.

Call me Elvis. Mr. Grimaldi are my dads.

You don't look as dangerous as I anticipated.

And you don't look as smart.

Yeah, think I'm gonna go.

You, um ‐‐ You'll lose out

on gathering more data points for your algorithm,

and that'll delay exiting the beta phase by weeks.

You understand about beta phases.

Yes, sir.
