Deputy

Previously on "Deputy..."

I was wrong about you, son.

And I do not accept your resignation

because your dad wouldn't want that.

Jerry London, you've been served.

Sheriff. This is Genevieve.

She tells me you're the reason

she moved to LA.

Instructions are on the cup.

We have a 50% shot here.

We're officially qualified to be foster parents.

You cannot keep chasing down

every call in Los Angeles County.

If I feel like it, yeah.

When this is all over, you and me,

we're gonna step outside

and we're gonna get on the same page.

Kept me up half the night.

- That damn bumpity bump. - I understand, ma'am.

The other day, I saw a group of 'em hot boxing,

you know, that's when they're in the car smokin' dope

with the windows up.

All right, don't worry, we'll get this all squared away.

Time to take it inside.

Hey, I'm not gonna ask you again.

You turn the music off, you take it inside.

All right, stand back, ma'am.

12 Adam Seven requesting an RA for a male, 30 to 40s,

with an apparent gunshot wound to the head.

Located at Venice Boulevard and Ocean.

Copy that...

Come on, back, back.

Okay.

- Watch this, bro. - Yeah.

Like a Ball brother who didn't make it.

Yeah, okay, all right.

- Let's see. I got you. - Let's go.

I'll show you what you really meant to do.

You meant to do this.

See, that's your problem, man.

You never knew how to close out.

Michael Jordan got benched in high school too.

Only made us stronger, all right?

Bro, don't ever compare yourself to Michael Jordan, please.

You gotta stretch out too, man,

'cause we going in on this next one.

Are you Matthew Evans?

How can I help you, officers?

- Is your name Matthew Evans? - It is not.

Can I ask what this is about?

Where is he?

Hey!

Yo! Hey! Stop running, bro!

Stop running!

Sir, I'm a deputy. Getting you my badge.

Stand there and shut up!

Just gonna show you my badge.

I'm gonna show you my badge right now.

Hands! Slowly!

Get down on the ground or you will get shot!

I'm a sheriff's deputy. My name is Joseph Harris.

Down on the ground!

14 Boyd. I'm detaining one at gunpoint.

My partner's in foot pursuit.

Stay down!

Don't move.

Honey, you look beautiful.

The hospital called another board meeting.

The old dog and pony show, huh?

Sounds like fun.

Yeah, it sounds like budget cuts.

We have the most gunshot wounds in the county

and the least amount of federal grants.

God bless America.

Well, if anybody can straighten it out,

it's you, honey.

I'm not so sure this time.

You're the only thing I've ever been sure about.

You got this.

Aw.

I love you.

I love you.

Sheriffs!

Buzz off!

Hey, let yourself in.

Where's the nurse?

I fired her.

- She was stealing. - She wasn't stealing.

Stole my dignity every damn day.

Mix us up a snack, would you?

I see you got your new Batman suit on.

Figured you'd be showing off those stars soon enough.

Well, the uniform comes with the territory.

Yeah, well, you sold out,

moved up to the 10th floor with those other brass holes.

I didn't ask for it.

- Job came calling. - A calling?

You're some kinda great savior now?

You can't wing it anymore, kid.

You screw up as sheriff,

it's not just the bad guys

who are gonna be comin' after you.

Thanks. Appreciate that.

Want something to eat?

I got some leftover pizza in there.

You were always great at breakfast.

Dad.

You all right?

Why don't you sit down? I'll get it.

I'm all right.

Can you believe they made my son sheriff?

Boy, I always knew you had it.

Hey, would you do me a favor?

Would you tell him I said hi?

And ask him to stop being so cocky around me, would you?

I don't know why he does that.

Will you remember that?

- I'll do that, sir. - Thank you.

Hey.

I was worried about you. You're usually home by now.

I lost track of time, sorry.

Okay.

What's really up?

You talked to the ocean. Now, talk to me.

Well, I was thinking...

how great it would be to have a family.

How I can teach Roberto and Camilla how to surf.

And then I thought about what if they don't wanna learn how to surf,

I don't even know if they can swim.

And what if they always see me as their father's killer,

instead of looking at me as their dad?

And what if I make a terrible father?

I mean, I never had a dad,

so what the hell do I know about it?

Wow.

That is a lot of thinking.

It's a big ocean.

You'll be a wonderful father.

That's why I married you.

Don't do this to yourself.

Look, you said a few weeks ago, you know,

"We may want them, but do they really want us?"

And then I thought, "You know what?"

You're absolutely right.

I'm rushing this. We're trying to have our own baby

and then and I bring two kids home without even asking you.

You did the right thing. And we will do right thing.

We have to decide or we're gonna lose 'em.

Mm.

You've been holding out on me, huh?

Thought I'd keep you guessing.

Like how you could put together such an amazing breakfast

without using a single pan?

Oh.

Okay, so maybe Postmates helped a little.

- It's the thought that counts. - Mm-hmm.

Not letting you off easy.

You wanna make it up to me?

Unpack those boxes,

they've been sitting there since we moved in.

I was thinking we could just throw those away.

You serious?

The things in those boxes belong to someone else.

DC was a whole other life.

And I'm a whole different person now.

You're right.

LA is all about new beginnings.

Help you?

All right.

What are they saying?

First-degree murder.

They think I popped that guy Trent

trying to take his corner.

Saying they got hard evidence.

I thought you were done dealing.

I am. I was.

I'm telling you, man, it's messed up

how they doin' us in here.

Guilty until proven innocent.

Hey, stay strong.

They built this place to break you.

All right?

Promise me if things go down,

you'll look after my Moms.

She doesn't deserve to go through this.

You know I got you.

You know I didn't do this, right?

Yeah, I do.

But that's not gonna be enough.

I'm sick and tired of this!

When is it gonna stop?

Today I had a gun pointed at the back of my head

by an LAPD officer.

And you and I both know

that almost had a different ending!

And I would've been another headline, right?

Damn it!

Look at me.

I hear you.

I did not get this badge
