The Rookie

We made it!

Say "honeymoon day one."

Honeymoon day one!

Are you taking a picture?

Video.

I wanted to see how long until you broke.

Hi. I'm Rafael.

- Hello! - That's my daughter, Elise.

Elise, hi, I'm John. That's Bailey.

- Hello! - Hi.

And we run the Oceanside Dreams.

I know that you booked our luxury villa.

- Yeah. - Yes.

So let's get you in there, yeah?

Oh, I like the sound of luxury.

You did say, villa, right?

Yes. Yes, sir.

We're still recovering from the last few hurricanes.

The power goes out sometimes.

The internet works sometimes.

But to us, this is still paradise.

Totally.

It's just that the pictures on the website,

they look a little different.

Yes, exactly.

We used AI to generate renderings.

So those are photos of what the place feels like,

yeah, according to the AI.

That's what separates us from the other resorts.

The false advertising?

What was that?

Oh, um...

possums, most likely.

They are loud.

But rest assured, if you hear anything at all,

it's either a mating sound or a killing sound.

Happy honeymoon.

OK.

That's good.

No, this is gonna be great.

- Mm-hmm. - This is--

I am so sorry.

Hey, did you get any sleep?

I will sleep when I pass this exam.

Yeah.

I don't think you're gonna sleep more

after you make detective.

How's it going?

I feel pretty good about my knowledge.

I mean, the written portion was easy.

But the oral exam is what is literally

keeping me up at night.

I mean, the test is so subjective.

If even one person on the panel has it against me,

I mean, it's over.

And you think Lieutenant Primm still hates you?

I brought him homemade cookies,

and he threw them in the trash.

OK. You can't control Primm.

You can only control you.

And now it's time for you

to step away from the highlighter.

Wait. No, no, no, no, no.

That's exactly right, though. See?

Because I can only control me, so I just need to be perfect.

You can over-prepare.

No, that is an idea that lazy people created.

No, I've seen it happen, OK?

You get in your own head.

You just need to trust yourself and then let it go.

Yeah, I don't think I can do that.

All right.

I'm gonna take a shower.

Right now?

Yeah.

Well--

Hmm, maybe I could take a break.

It was a wedding, you know.

Everything was all romantic-- music, soft light--

and I kind of...

kissed Celina.

Celina, who you work with?

Celina, who saved your life when you were shot?

That Celina? - Yeah.

Did I mention the light?

Because I really believe, like, the mood lighting

was 20% responsible.

How did she react?

Not good.

Yeah, the look she gave me was somewhere between horrified

and really horrified.

She doesn't share your feelings?

I'm not sure I share my feelings, you know.

We've been so close, and she was the only person

I could talk to. - Look.

It's very natural to confuse that kind of bond

with something romantic.

OK. So--so what do I do?

How do I fix this?

You and Celina have been through a lot together.

You have a shared trauma.

And as tempting as it is

to want everything fixed overnight,

that's not how these things work.

Now, when you say trauma, are you talking

about Celina rejecting me or me getting shot?

Because they have been equally traumatizing in my eyes.

You're both adults.

Clear the air.

Set some healthy boundaries and give her time.

OK.

Are we starting an OnlyFans?

I thought we would want to remember

this honeymoon forever.

Now of course, I'm not so sure.

Is this a button cam?

Mm-hmm.

- A drone? - Mm-hmm.

Are we launching an intelligence agency?

It came as a package, and it was on sale.

And I got excited.

Can I show you?

This one is waterproof.

It makes it perfect for swimming, kayaking.

Or we can do that thing where we go cage diving with sharks.

We can't. They don't have it here.

- Oh. - I made sure.

This one attaches right to us.

So when we go zip lining and you're zipping on past

and I'm watching from the ground,

we can cut into it later from all sorts of different angles.

OK, and this one is a button camera in case

we have to go undercover,

break up any monkey drug cartels.

And what about this one?

Oh, why is it so dark?

Hang on a second.

Night vision. - No.

- Yes. - No.

Totally. Just listen.

Listen.

I was thinking we can take one of these, set it up,

you know, outside.

See what the possums are doing.

Oh, yeah, totally, that's what you were thinking.

It is what I was thinking.

What were you thinking?

I think you know what I was thinking.

Hey, I'm married.

Celina, hi!

Aaron.

Are you cleared for active duty?

No, uh, not yet.

Soon.

I, um-- I got something for you.

Picked it up on the way to work.

Oh. No, you didn't have to do that.

Surprise. New laptop.

Aaron, that's completely unnecessary.

Yeah, but you were saying how your computer was slow.

I know what you're doing.

You're trying to apologize for the--

for the kiss, but you don't have to.

OK?

OK.

Yeah.

Anybody want a laptop?

Yeah. Yeah, I'll take it!

The murder scene exception is the misbelief

that when a crime scene is so heinous,

you are allowed to go around the search warrant.

Correct again. Next question.

What is my favorite leisure activity?

Um, excuse me?

You know, am I more of an outdoor or indoor cat?

Smitty, please just read from the cards I gave you, OK?

Look, you asked me for my advice.

I did not!

And my advice is,

you should do a little research on Primm.

Find out his likes, his dislikes, favorite hobbies.

Then you can take that knowledge

and score some bonus points.

I'm worried that I focused too much on Aaron

after the attack and did you a disservice,

let you fall through the cracks.

Oh, thank you, sir,

but I'm fine.

What about the wedding?

You went rogue.

You know better than to meet with a CI

without alerting other officers.

I do. I just thought that--

It would impress me?

Yes.

Well, it didn't.

That situation could have ended a lot worse.

Don't ever do it again. - Yes, ma'am.

Harper is needed back with the detectives.

He'll be riding with Sergeant Bradford until Nolan returns.
