The Rookie

Previously on "The Rookie"... Sgt. Grey: Rosalind Dyer, the most rare of unicorns...

a female serial killer.

Congratulations. I underestimated you.

Rosalind, you are never going to walk free.

Who are you supposed to deliver the drugs to? Roy Hajek.

Wisco will give you your cash on the way out.

Or you could do another job for me.

And we'll need a driver, so bring your old lady.

Hello!

If we're gonna sell that we are, you know,

actually boyfriend and girlfriend,

then we might have to...

I just received a formal request

to temporarily assign you to another station.

That means I'll miss my T.O. exam.

The station you're going to is four hours away, on the border.

Good morning.

What a beautiful day for a trial.

Oh.

And who are you?

Your shadow... Deputy Suriel.

I'll be with you every second you're outside of this prison.

Hmm.

Well, then, I hope you're good company.

Oh, I'm great company... if you're not my prisoner.

This is not a break-in.

I'm just coming home from the run.

Surprise! What?

Happy birthday!

Thank you. But it is not my birthday.

I know. It's your half birthday, which is just as important.

Oh, my God. Does that count against my actual age?

No. In fact...

It was the only candle they had at the store.

Thank you. This is so great.

When did you even have time to do this?

I was gone 30 minutes. Yeah, I was gonna mention,

you know, you really should think about

doing some more cardio at your age.

Cake says I'm 20. The cake is a lie, John.

Oh, well, it's very sweet.

And I'm sure not at all an effort to cheer me up

because today is Rosalind's trial.

Well, you know, you can ask to be assigned somewhere else.

I know, but somehow that just doesn't feel right.

Shall we have some of this cake?

After I cheer you up in the shower.

Oh, God, it is my birthday.

Yeah?

Morning. Uh, hi.

Um, are you on your way to school? In a few.

You should take the long way around.

You know, they already started blocking off

some of those streets around the courthouse.

I know. You told me.

I could blow off class if you want.

We could go shopping or see a movie.

I'm gonna be fine.

I'm not gonna be anywhere near Rosalind.

Tim and I are station-bound,

waiting for the phone to ring.

On your undercover thing?

Yeah. The original go-time fell through,

and it's just been radio silence since then.

Is this the same undercover thing you and Tim

were discussing the other night?

I already told you that kiss didn't mean anything.

Right, right.

It was for the case.

Make out. Stop crime. That totally tracks.

Go to school.

Okay.

Well, have a great day.

With your boss.

Who you kissed.

Get out!

And close the door!

Lopez: You kissed Lucy?

No, no.

No, Dim kissed Juicy, okay?

Or Jake kissed Sava. Whatever.

The... The point is,

we had to be comfortable going undercover,

so we practiced being a couple.

How much did you practice?

It was just a kiss. Not that big of a deal.

Then why are we talking about it?

Because what if it wasn't just a kiss for her?

You think Lucy has feelings for you?

No.

Then she probably sees it how you do.

Just a weird thing you had to do for work.

Right.

Timothy.

Do yo have feelings for Lucy?

No. No, I'm dating Ashley.

And Lucy is with Chris.

And I'm her superior officer, so...

All true. Not what I asked.

What's the Chief doing here?

Sgt. Grey: All right, settle down and listen up.

We got a big day ahead of us.

The Rosalind Dyer trial is going to complicate all of our lives.

But before that,

Chief Coleman has some good news.

Chief. Thank you, Sergeant. I'm sure you're all aware

of Officer Nolan's heroic stand down at the border

which landed a dozen dangerous felons in custody.

In light of your courageous and exemplary service,

I've decided to offer you any assignment in the LAPD.

Any unit, any division, any position you want

the department to train you for is yours.

It's what we unofficially call the Golden Ticket.

Thank you, Ma'am.

It's a big decision. Don't rush it.

I won't.

Sergeant. Chief.

What'd I miss? Nolan got a Golden Ticket.

Wow.

Congratulations, Officer Nolan. Thank you, sir.

I once said you'll never make detective.

I happily stand corrected.

Don't waste your ticket by becoming a detective, Nolan.

You know how hard they have to work?

Go with recruiting.

You get paid to fly around the country

and talk up the LAPD.

Boring. You go with air support.

The city will pay for flight school,

and you'll always have a backup career.

Do I need a backup career?

K-9 is the way to go.

Overtime is $200 an hour, and you get to keep the dog.

Sgt. Grey: And if all you want is money,

the department will pay you to learn computer forensics.

Or I could use the ticket to get back on track

for becoming a training officer this year.

That's funny. Yeah.

Kidding. No, I mean, uh... no.

I, uh, certainly have some thinking to do, yeah.

He's gonna pick something lame. Oh, for sure.

Sorry. Jake's phone.

It's Hajek.

Sgt. Grey: All right. Back to Rosalind Dyer.

Yo, I thought you were never gonna call.

Hajek: Had to iron out a few details, but the job's back on track.

Is your lady squared away? Hell, no.

You think we don't got lives of our own,

waiting around on some mystery gig?

Relax. The payday's worth the suspense.

Wisco and Lyon are taking point.

And we're adding your buddy Dayvion Mosby for extra muscle.

Yo, Dayvion's money.

Dayvion's handsy. Get someone else.

He's already hired. Deal with it.

So what time we meeting up? Two hours.

I'll get back to you with the details.

This Dayvion guy shows up, it's over.

Then I need to make sure he doesn't.

Hey. Hey.

Kind of, uh... kind of a circus.

Seriously. Which makes it that much harder for me

to wrap my head around the fact

that you and Rosalind have a relationship.

It's not like we were dating. Uh, changing the subject...

Chief of Police gave me a Golden Ticket.

As in Willy Wonka?

As in I can pick any job I want in the department.

Wow. What are you gonna pick?

Uh, am I crazy for wanting to use it

to get back on track to being a training officer?

Well, you know, they give you a dog

if you join the K-9 Unit?

Okay, if you want a dog, we can just get a dog.

Del Monte: All right, everybody, listen up. Can you gather around?
