The Rookie

I don't think new posters are gonna cut it.

What?

You're gonna need to up your campaign game.

Well, perhaps my campaign manager has some ideas.

You mean besides all the e-mails I sent you?

I should probably read those.

Nolan, Lopez needs a unit

to accompany her this morning, and that's you.

Yes, sir. My pleasure.

Uh, sir --

Can I count on your vote?

I'm still doing my due diligence with the candidates.

It's Smitty!

You got my vote.

Thank you.Not mine.

I'm not in the union yet.

Right.

Looks like we're gonna be riding together.

Everything good? Uh, yeah.

We have to interview one of these Sovereign Citizen idiots.

He allegedly assaulted an IRS agent

who had a few questions about why Marvin Reynolds

wasn't paying any of his taxes.

Angela, I thought we were gonna talk more this morning.

I woke up, you were gone.

Yeah, I have a job, remember?

Uh...

I'll wait for you by the shop.

I'm right behind you.

Angela.

I don't have time for this conversation right now.

How many times can I apologize?

I told you, I didn't have a choice.

Look, making a deal with Elijah

was the only way that I could get you home safe.

I understand why you did what you did.

I can even understand why you kept it from me --

you don't want to stress out the new mom.

But to tell me I need to stay out of it

after asking for my help --

Look, I didn't mean for you --

I got myself into this.

No, you got us into this,

and I'm going to get usout.

Well, how do you plan to do that?

By telling Elijah Stone you don't work for him anymore.

And if he's got a problem with that,

me and a couple hundred of my closest friends --

No, you can't.

He has leverage on me.

He could take it to the state bar.

I could lose my license.

Last night, you swore you didn't break any laws.

I haven't.

There could be some ethical questions.

I can't do this right now.

We'll talk tonight.

He can't really believe

he can buy votes with water bottles.

I mean, not when I have a real message,

a message of change.

Actually, he's beating you.

I did some polling,

and you are definitely behind.

I'm losing to Smitty?

Oh, that's embarrassing.

You know what would really help?

An endorsement from someone respected within the department.

No, don't drag me into this.

No, I have never endorsed a candidate, and I never will.

Voting is a private matter.

Here, maybe this will help wash away the taste of defeat.

This bottle's been opened.

Oh, those bottles are recyclable.

It's just my way of giving back to the environment.

Where's the water from?

My bathroom sink.

Water's water.

Everything okay with you and Wesley?

No.

I get it.

Sarah wanted to divorce me at least three times

during Henry's first year.

It felt like I couldn't get anything right.

It's rough, those early days.

You know, it's a lack of sleep, it's fear of the unknown,

a baby that won't stop crying ---

It's not about that.

What is it about?

Right now, it's about you not minding your own business.

Put the shop in drive and let's go.

I will have to put it in reverse

before I can actually put it --

I know that look. No more jokes.

Tim: Genny.

Sergeant Bradford.

You look skinny.

Have you been eating?

Every day. Uh-huh.

This is a restricted area. How'd you get in here?

Oh, the guy who's handing out waters let me in.

Okay. Yeah. Don't drink that.

Um...

So, what are you doing here?

I just wanted to see my big brother.

Oh, hi. I'm Lucy Chen.

I know that we just met,

but if you have any embarrassing stories

from his childhood, that --

So you just wanted to see me?

I didn't even know you were in town.

So you're not just not returning my calls,

you're also ignoring the messages

telling you I'm coming to town.

Because I know why you're here,

and I've made my position very clear.

We have to talk about it.

Look, I gotta get to work.

Maybe we can have dinner tonight.

So you can blow me off at the last minute?

No.

Why don't I do one of those ride-along thingies?

That way, we could have the whole day to catch up.

Yeah.

See, you gotta get permission to do a ride-along.

It's --

It's a long process, a ton of paperwork.

Hey, you're a sergeant now.

You can just approve it yourself.

Great.

Let's hit the streets.

Let's.

Did Tim have any, um,

nicknames when he was a kid?

So, it's been six weeks.

Any thoughts on my progress?

I write an evaluation every day.

Those are my thoughts on your progress.

Right, I mean, that's the technical stuff,

but I was just wondering, like,

what you thought of me as a person.

What matters is what I think about you as a cop.

You want people to like you, go make some friends.

Harper.

What?

Oh, no, no.

This is the first I'm hearing about this.

He can't do that, though, right?

Maybe? W-What do you mean maybe?

You -- You are the lawyer.

Shouldn't you know that for sure?

Okay, well, I-I'ma need you

to get some damn clarity and call me back.

Is everything okay? No.

My ex-husband is getting married,

and he wants to move to San Francisco

and take my daughter with him.

Can he do that?

I don't know.

This is Detective Angela Lopez, badge number 1777.

I need complete histories, statewide and CJIC,

for the personal file numbers --

NWC-057, JPA-733, BXR-389.

And if any of those queries generate other file numbers,

can I get completes on those, too?

Thanks.

What was that about?

Uh, another case I'm working on.

Anything I can help with?

No, I got it handled.

Genny: Oh, yeah, he tried to highlight his hair right before prom.

He ended up looking like Slim Shady.

Hm! Oh, you know what?

I think I have a picture of it.

Oh, my God, yes! Genny.

What, you'd -- you'd rather I keep this photo private?

That's fine. Let's talk about dad.

I have nothing to say.

Okay.

What's your cellphone number? I'll text it to you.

Genny, come on. We don't need your distractions.

Police work is serious stuff.

Ooh, boy.

Tim: Hey, ma'am, I'm gonna need you to pull over.

You'll never catch me!

Have you been drinking?

It's not illegal to drink and bike.

Actually, it is.

The way you were swerving in and out of traffic --

Oh. Uh...

You could have caused an accident. Alright?

I just wanna get some tacos!

Don't be such a butt.

Okay, ma'am, we can cite you for public intoxication,

or if you don't cooperate, we'll charge you with a DUI.

Screw you, you Ken-doll-ass-looking mimbo --

Hey, honey.

Honey, I know you're having a bad day,

but that doesn't give you the right to be rude.

They're just doing their jobs.
