Deputy

Previously on "Deputy..."

Asking me to look into an LAPD case

on your old buddy is no small ask.

I need you to understand the political repercussions

prior to inserting yourself

into another agency's investigation.

I finally heard from the County, and we're approved.

We're officially qualified to be foster parents.

Are you serious? You might be pregnant?

I'm here to talk about something that happened earlier today

with the LAPD and one of my deputies.

I'm a sheriff's deputy.

- My name is Joseph Harris. - Down on the ground!

Turn around, Detective.

Are you sure this is how you want it?

- Hey, honey. - There's a shooter.

- Where's the gunman? - You! Get off the phone.

- Now! - Paula!

There's not a manual for how to save hostages

when one's your wife, is there?

Why is this happening?

Is it because you're sheriff?

I know that because I'm sheriff

I'm in a position to stop them.

I just want Mom to be okay.

Me too, baby. Me too.

How long you been up?

Is this our life now?

Which part?

This.

You okay?

Yeah. I'm just trying to figure out

if I'm gonna have to drive through a wall of reporters

every time I go to work until you retire.

No.

What happened at the jail will be old news by tomorrow.

It's not just that.

First Luna. Then the cop you arrested.

And now this. It's you.

You're the news.

You sure you're okay?

Yes.

I have too much work not to be.

With the Santa Clarita fire

only at five percent containment,

the Los Angeles Fire Department has enlisted the help

of the Sheriff's Department to evacuate residents...

Are you going up there?

If it comes to it, yeah.

Officials are worried about the winds picking up...

What are they waiting for?

Ugh. Ignore them.

Just, let's have breakfast.

I can't eat.

I think I'm getting the flu or something.

Hmm. Do you wanna stay home?

Yeah, I think so.

Are they gonna be here every day?

Not every. Just for now.

So, Mom gets held hostage

and they trap us in the house?

Why can't you just go back to being a deputy?

You are the boss, right?

Ah, Bishop's here.

They'll follow me, so you can make your clean getaway.

You're getting pretty good at it.

It'll get better, I promise.

I know you want that to be true.

So do I.

- I'll see you tonight. - Love you.

Guys, come on, let's go.

Sheriff Hollister, how is your wife coping?

None of your business.

What's your plan on dealing with the subpoena?

Do you think going up against the LAPD

is gonna hurt your chances for reelection?

Every day crimes are committed.

Every day people struggle.

I'm running a department filled with deputies

who wanna make that struggle go away.

Every day.

Today's no different.

So you wanna talk about that, you know where to find me.

You wanna talk about my wife,

go stand on somebody else's lawn.

Thank you.

You have any comments on the Santa Clarita fire?

There's more to come on that.

Hi.

I'm headed out.

I gotta go up to Santa Clarita.

Organizing the evac with all these fires.

Okay.

- So... - So...

What do you say...

we tell them tonight?

I don't know.

And it's not too soon?

- For us or for them? - Both.

Wish things were a little bit more... settled.

You know, it's so early.

Just don't wanna...

get our hopes up again.

Maybe we should wait

until we know this is really real.

Hey, hey, hey. This is real.

This baby's the one.

I know it.

I can feel it.

A baby means you're gonna get rid of us, doesn't it?

Department of Psychological Services

is offering to sit down with you.

Not a chance.

LAPD's Criminal Investigation Division called again.

LAPD's taken up enough of my time lately.

What else?

Media training with the department's

public relations for interviews...

Hard pass.

You've put this off three times, boss.

This LAPD thing is not going anywhere.

Just catch and release.

Or they'll keep coming after you.

Well, I'm not going anywhere.

Do the training.

- Next. - Oy.

Okay. Well, you're not gonna like this one either,

but I hear London is planning

a huge fundraiser for his campaign.

Really?

Good for him.

You're okay with that?

Ah, it's a free world.

If he wants...

Not seeing a lot of fat to trim around here.

Can we just focus on the task at hand, please?

Put your arms up.

I mean, how could somebody expect

you to make budget cuts when...

Aren't you supposed to make that hurt less?

You bruised three ribs.

Hurting less

isn't gonna be in your vocabulary for a while.

How long is this gonna take?

If you stop moving, ten minutes.

If not... forever.

I'm sorry.

It's just we have a very full day.

Yeah, not anymore you don't.

Wait, what are you talking about?

I'm talking about a concussion,

10-stitch laceration and you mentioned back pain, correct?

No, I'm-I'm fine.

Well, we'll be the judge of that.

After a CAT scan and a period of observation.

Now hold still.

Sheriff, you got that budget meeting up first,

- and then... - I'm on it.

Well, you say that now but a day like this

could easily be derailed.

Bishop, just concentrate on getting better.

Me and the day, we'll take care of ourselves.

Yes, sir.

Hey, how you doin'?

You all right?

Yeah, I'll push through.

How are the fires lookin'?

It's bad. It's comin' off strong.

I was on my way out there to help when I heard.

How's Bishop?

She got a concussion. She'll be fine.

What about you? You good?

Me? I'm good.

You sure about that?

Well, Teresa and I are gonna have a baby.

She's pregnant.

Whew. Congratulations, brother.

Father of three.

That's a pretty big deal.

Fingers crossed, man. It's still early on yet.

Now Roberto thinks us having a baby means

we're not gonna want him and Camilla around anymore.

Well, nothing could be further from the truth.

Right?

Everything's gonna work out the way it's supposed to.

All right, I'll handle these clowns.

All right.

Hollister.

Sheriff, it's Deputy Tabnick.

Up in Angeles National Forest.

- Hey. - Can you hear me all right?

I can. You working fire evac, Tabnick?

No, I'm southeast of the fires.

I got something else.

Lay it out.

Found a car up here.

Came off Crest Highway.

Driver's gone. Passenger too.

There's blood on the scene, so somebody got hurt.

The VIN's removed so I ran the plates.
