L.A.'s Finest

Good meeting?

Routine, Nico. Painfully routine.

Well, your bone density looks good.

And I don't see any hairline fractures.

Congratulations. You're free.

No cast. Okay.

Gonna give you a little something for the swelling

just in case, but other than that,

you guys are good to go.

No follow-ups. Pharmacy just down the hall.

Thanks. I'll get this filled and meet you in the car.

All right. I'll sign you out.

Thank you for coming in.

Yeah. I know you're super busy and...

Yeah, it's fine. It's my job. Happy to do it.

Speaking of jobs, um, how have you been?

You been busy?

Yeah. Been pretty busy.

You know, life's, like, complicated with work and...

You know. Sounds like the,

the brooding cop routine.

I don't really remember how

the rest of that goes, though. Could you remind me?

There's, like, a whole... You know, I...

I actually put my life on the line every day.

And I see gruesome things

that I can't get out of my head. "Gruesome." I-I'm sorry.

I can't really relate. I work in an ER,

and, I mean, usually, we have puppies

and cupcakes in here. We pass them around

for a couple hours and call it a day. Okay, okay.

Your job is as traumatic as mine.

Thank you. Happy?

I...

Like clockwork. I have to handle this.

I'm sorry, there's a...

Cupcakes and kittens. Yeah, exactly.

Um...

I'll see you again soon, Detective?

Right.

Jen's tape.

Quality was bad,

so I got Fletcher

to work his magic.

What did it cost you?

Dodger tickets. Behind home plate.

He tried to negotiate a dinner for two with you.

I thought about it.

Well, it was cheaper than the tickets.

Fletcher restored and digitized

all the footage he could recover.

Hi.

If you're watching this, then you realize that I'm not dead.

I'm sure you have lots of questions,

and let me just...

Wait, what'd she say?

And I...

I'm not sure.

I wish I could tell you everything, but...

I love you, Emma.

And I miss you.

I miss you so much.

Jen, Jen.

Jen, what'd you take?

Jen, focus.

Look at me, Jen. I am looking at you, Emma.

Just think about those fun times at St. Croix.

Video, Emma, St. Croix.

You know what any of it means?

No.

Yeah?

Hey, we caught a body.

All right, I'll be right there.

I got to go.

You sure you're okay?

Yeah, Jen...

Jen called me Emma once.

She was high,

and I-I had no idea what she was saying,

and I-I didn't ask.

You can't beat yourself up over that.

How were you supposed to know it meant anything?

No, it... It's not that I didn't ask.

It's-it's...

Jen was my friend,

and it didn't even occur to me to ask.

So, to recap, you go have a drink

to avoid fighting with your husband,

you meet Bar Dude, who's cute and a doctor

and cool hanging out with you without any expectations,

and you have somehow convinced yourself that that's a bad thing.

It just felt more innocent

before I knew his name was Luca and he's a doctor.

Unclutch your pearls, McKenna.

You're overthinking this. You got a drinking buddy.

Big whoop.

What we got?

Vehicular homicide.

A neighbor was letting her dog out last night,

saw an SUV driving down the street like a bat out of hell.

Jumped the curb, ran across the grass,

and hit our victim and sped off.

Witness get a make and model on the vehicle?

No, it was too dark.

He's young. Teenager.

His name is Sean Moore. Student I.D. said

that he went to Cal Highlands University.

Go Bullfrogs.

Notify next of kin? We're working on it.

He didn't have a phone, so we got some boots

tracking down his parents.

Teenager without a phone? Little sus.

Well, this is definitely not an accident.

This is Detective Walker. There's also this.

This is a collect call

from the San Jacinto Women's Correctional Facility.

Rolex. Nice. Yep.

With a call from...

Figured he was wearing it. When he got hit, it came off.

This is a $15,000 Rolex if I'm not mistaken,

and I am never mistaken.

Your fly's down.

I don't have one today.

I mean, this is pretty expensive,

even for a rich kid.

Think?

Your phone is blowing up today,

Your hairline's blowing up.

We all have jokes today.

Well, he's a water polo player.

Looks like we're going back to school.

When you go, make sure you check out the Wall of Fame.

Just might be a trophy case with some soccer trophies won by...

You know who.

My God.

Soccer. That's so rad.

My God. That's, like, everything.

Why are you guys trying to make me feel bad?

- I actually kind of like soccer. - Me, too.

Man U's my team. Chelsea's much better.

He probably was the manager.

Are you ticklish?

What's everyone looking at?

We were sent an anonymous e-mail this morning.

Yeah? You've got another supporter.

What's she holding?

A feather tickler.

Okay, I'm not even gonna ask how you know that, Stephen.

Supporter, you say?

See the poster?

This will help with younger voters.

Well, whatever gets my message out, right?

Relax your mind... And just...

ASM what?

ASMR. I know I am.

It's what kids do these days.

This is your quiet time.

Yeah.

Excuse me, everyone.

It's a good thing.

Cannonball run!

You suck. Now I'm gonna beat you.

You suck.

Word travels fast. Yeah, someone saw the crime scene.

News about Sean's death was all over the school's news feed

by this morning.

Coach Gilbert?

Yes.

I'm Detective McKenna.

This is Detective Burnett.

We're with the LAPD.

We spoke with your athletic director. Sorry for your loss.

- Thank you. It's hit us really hard. - Really?

Team seems to be coping pretty well

so soon after news of Sean's death.

Well, we had a team meeting this morning.

Sean was the heart and soul of this program.

And what better way to honor him

as well as channel their emotions?

Sounds like a good kid.

He was. I recruited him myself.

He was from Iowa. Man, that kid never missed a practice.

Hell, he was never even late.

Heard this was a hit-and-run?

We think it's a little bit more serious than this.

Coach, we suspect that it might be a homicide.

You know if Sean

ever got in trouble? Had enemies?

Beef with anyone?

I mean, not that I'm aware of.

Sean was a good kid. Everybody loved him.

This is terrible.

If it's all right with you, we'd like to talk to some of Sean's teammates.

You know, some of the guys who knew him best.

Of course.

Listen up!

Had you noticed Sean acting out of the ordinary?

He had a bad practice yesterday.

Dropped a couple dry passes.

Like his head wasn't in the game, really.
