Previously on "The Rookie"...

- Bailey.
- Jason.

- I'm John Nolan. And you are?
- Her husband.

I'm trying to protect this city.

So you think putting
a 16-year-old into juvie

is gonna turn the tide
in the war on drugs?

I am in a good place. James is great.

- What did you find out?
- Jason Wyler

is the most charming man on the planet.

He whispers in all the right ears,

and whoever is his enemy,

ends up on the wrong end of a shank.

What is happening? Why am I...

He's framing me.

Hearing that she's finally

facing some consequences,

- it does well for my spirit.
- I know who you are now.

And I'm coming for you.

BAILEY:
Let's talk about what's next.

Well, it's pretty straightforward.

You can go to trial, fight the charges,

or take a plea.

And if I fight and lose?

Most likely, you'll do prison time.

And if I take a plea?

I feel confident,

that we could get

a mandatory treatment program
and probation.

But I would still have
a drug charge on my record,

and at minimum,

I would be out of the Army Reserve

and I'd probably be fired
from the LAFD.

I would lose everything
that matters to me.

Except for you.

What?

It's nothing.

It's not nothing.

And I can't take another round

- of gaslighting right now.
- Okay, so,

the Department frowns

on officers fraternizing
with convicted felons.

They can frown all they want.

They can't fire me.

Everyone who's important
knows you're innocent.

But just dating me would hold you back.

[SCOFFS]

I gotta give it to Jason...

he really planned this perfectly.

You know, there is still
a third option.

We prove your innocence
and we take him down.

Morning.

Um...

What were you doing up all night?

Legal research.

Researching what?

Do you remember that, uh,

kid I was telling you about... Tyler?

- Oh, the one who robbed the liquor store...
- Yes.

and then gave the store owner
a heart attack,

and the clown from the DA's
office blamed you for it?

No, I don't remember that.

[CHUCKLES]

Anyway, good news...

um, the store owner
was released from the hospital.

She's gonna be fine.

Amazing. I bet Tyler's relieved.

Yeah, but he's not
out of the woods yet.

I have been up all night

trying to research ways that

the state can show him leniency.

I've just got to convince that clown

to charge him as a minor.

Well, Tyler's lucky he
has you looking out for him.

- Aww.
- I knew I was.

- Oh.
- [CHUCKLES]

I mean, not that long ago,

I was on the streets,
as desperate as he was,

and then I did the smartest
thing I think I've ever done...

Steal your car.

Okay. Agree to disagree.

No, seriously. Crime totally pays.

And Tyler's lucky to have you.

You're cute!

JAMES: This is nice.

Actually spending the night together.

Doing couple things
in the morning before work.

Yeah, who knew we had
to share custody schedules

before we hooked up?

I actually should get going though,
I gotta...

I gotta do a thing.

That sounds ominous.

No, it's fine. I just have to have a,

a talk with Curtis Jones.

About Tyler.

Wait. Is he still leaning
on Tyler's family for money?

Yeah, and I-I need to convince Curtis

to cut his losses and let it go.

Okay, well, I'm coming with you.

- [CHUCKLES] No.
- Yes, I'm...

Nyla, no.

No, you can't be there. Look, if,

if word gets out that a cop

is hovering on my shoulder,

they'll stop trusting me.

Well, I hate to break it to you,
but you're dating a cop,

so that's gonna get around.

I know, which means
I have to work extra hard

to stay independent.

Look, if I lose the trust
with the community,

I'll never get it back.

I hear you, but I don't like it.

And Curtis is a dangerous guy, and...

If anything were to happen to you,

I'd be sad for, like,
at least a couple days.

[CHUCKLES]

Funny. Funny.

But I can handle myself.

Alright?

I'll call you after.

I wish we could open an official
investigation on this.

No, sir, I get it, there's not even

circumstantial evidence
connecting Jason

to planting those drugs.

Thank you, again, for authorizing my...

- "vacation."
- Of course.

Take as much time as you need.

So, what's your plan?

Find the money.

I mean, those drugs cost upwards
of 10 grand,

but according to my skip tracer,
Jason's broke.

He had to pay restitution

for his embezzlement conviction,

and he's been working
a minimum-wage job

ever since his release.

So chances are, he's mixed up
in something illegal

that gives him access
to money or drugs or both.

And I'm gonna follow him till
I find out exactly what it is.

Call me as soon as you have
something actionable,

even if it's a simple parole violation.

Once he's in custody,
he's more likely to crack.

[CELLPHONE CHIMES]

I gotta go. Caught a homicide.

- Let me know if you need anything.
- Thank you.

Say, listen, Nolan,

there's something
you need to think about.

If Bailey assumes fault
for the drugs...

I know, if I can't prove
Jason planted those drugs,

I'll have to choose between my career

and the woman I love.

No biggie.

Thanks.

ADA Sanford.

Officer Chen.

Did you hear the news?

The store owner from
Tyler's case pulled through.

- I heard.
- Mm-hmm.

I'm as relieved as you are.

Great. So,

let's continue, with the positivity.

Charge Tyler as a minor.

He committed a crime with a gun.

It was unloaded.

Look, I'm not saying that
there shouldn't be consequences,

but he's 16.

He's not old enough to drink,
vote, join the military,

and you want to lock him up

with a bunch of grown men?

- Look, studies show that...
- No, please,

don't quote studies at me.

And definitely don't start lecturing me

about the science
of stilldeveloping brains

in men under 21.

I wasn't gonna do that.

[SCOFFS]

Look, if Tyler becomes a CI
against his crew,

I can definitely give him a break.

Uh...

Wait, s-sorry. Let me...

Let me just get this clear.

So, instead of risking his life
in prison,

you want to risk his life
on the streets?

Do you understand that he is

a low-level drug runner?

He is the bottom of the food chain.

Nobody in his crew is
gonna even trust him,

with any real intel.

- Everything okay?
- Yes.

Mr., uh, Rookie ADA here

was telling me
how he was gonna make his bones

- by ending a kid's life.
- Okay.

You're clearly feeling a
little dramatic this morning,

and I have to go to court.

[CHUCKLES]

I will be following up with you!

Can you believe the nerve of that guy,

calling me dramatic?

I mean... Um, do not start.

Exactly how many cups of coffee

did you have this morning?

I'm just going to apologize
to you right now.

Um, it's gonna be a really
long day for you, and...

- And I'm sorry.
- [SIGHS DEEPLY]

- Aaron.
- Mom, what are you doing here?

Hi, baby. Mwah.

Look at you in this uniform.

How handsome.

Look, I said no yesterday,
and I meant it, okay?

- Uh-huh.
- So please stop asking.

But you're not thinking it through.

- The hell I'm not.
- Whoa, what's the problem?

Nothing, just having a
conversation with my mother.

Now I know you did not just speak

to your mother in that tone.

Ma'am, I am Nyla Harper,

Aaron's training officer,

and he is going to apologize
to you right now,

or I will write him up, for conduct

unbecoming of an officer.

[SCOFFS]

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

And thank you, Nyla.

Of course, Mrs. Thorsen.

- It's Yvonne.
- Yvonne.

See you in the shop.

Oh.

I like her.

- Look, Mom...
- I like her.

I'm sorry for going off, okay?

But I don't want to be a part
of this reality TV show.

Sweetie, it's only gonna help you.

How?

By disrespecting the memory of Patrick?

By trivializing the time
I've spent in prison

for a crime I didn't commit?

Not if we control the narrative.

Mom,

I love you, okay?

You've been on my side
through everything, but,

the answer's no.

Now I have to go.

- Oh, good.

Hey, Randy.
RANDY: Skip Tracer Randy here!

Yes. I know, Randy.

I said your name.

Oh, well, maybe you know
12 Randys, I don't know.

Would you like to know what I found,

or do you want to keep
making me feel bad

about how I put myself out
in the world?

No. No, Randy, you're right.

I'm sorry. What did you get?

Jason listed an SRO downtown
as his current address,

but the man at the front desk says

he's only seen him once or twice.

So he could be staying somewhere else.

That could be a
violation of his parole.

Mm-hmm.
- That is correct.

I'll call back if I find anything else.

Thank you, Randy.

Well, that makes sense.

Jason is a total snob.

[SIGHS]

Is this really the best we can do?

Just spy on him until he hopefully

does something overtly criminal?

Welcome to police work.

We're never gonna catch him
by being reactive.

He's too smart.

We have to get in his head.

If that's, really,

what you want to do,

I know who to talk to, but it would

officially cement this as

1,000% the strangest date yet.

Well, when you put it that way...

- [DOOR BUZZES]
- [CHUCKLES]

At this point, you should
probably deputize me.

Hello.

Who did you bring for me, John?

Oscar, this is Lieutenant Nune.

Bailey.

I'm Jason Wyler's...

- Wife.
- Well, I'd salute you,

but I can't get my
arm over my shoulder.

I'm told you're an expert,

in narcissist psychopaths.

Guilty as charged.

Literally.

We need your help
to get inside his head,

figure out what he's gonna do next.

And I would love to do that.

I just need to figure out
what I get out of it.

Oscar.

I wrote a letter,

to get you transferred out of here.

And that's what I got yesterday.

Let's discuss what I get today.

Today, I go to the Warden's office

and rip up yesterday's letter.

- You're bluffing.
- Let's go.

Okay, fine. I'll help you.

Um, alright, where do we stand?

Jason and I were married for a year,

before he went to prison.

During that time,
he was psychologically abusive,

he tore me down constantly,
and terrorized me,

when I asked for a divorce.

Two weeks ago, he got out of jail and,

set out to ruin my life.

He planted drugs in her car
and got her arrested.

Okay, so...

He's highly intelligent,

he's very good at getting
inside people's heads,

and pitting people against one another.

He's also deeply insecure.

That's why he's constantly
pounding you down,

making you small.

It's the only way
he can make himself big.

How do we use that against him?

Well, best way to throw
him off of his game is...

Demean him.

Make him feel stupid.

Belittle him.

Of course, he's gonna retaliate,
like, ten-fold.

How did he get his hands on those drugs

- in the first place?
- Probably a contact in prison.

Whoever it was he was paying

for protection on the inside.

But he wouldn't have gotten
the drugs for free.

Well, it's not hard to get money,

I mean,
if you're willing to con someone.

In fact, there's an entire network

of nightingales out there

that are just waiting
to help rehabilitate

some poor, misunderstood man.

Speaking from experience?

I get a little money in
my commissary account.

They get a romantic fantasy.

I mean...

Everybody wins.

Now, your boy, though,
he's playing the long game.

He's probably targeted
a dozen or so women

just to find the right one.

The warden will have
copies of all of Jason's mail.

- We can start there.
- Yeah.

[SIGHS]

She mostly lived on the street.

There was a shelter

there was always swiping.

- Yes, uh...

Lopez interviewed all of the men

that Becca was swiping with.

They all have solid alibis.

We did find out that Becca stole a watch
from one of them,

right before she died,

so if we can trace her back there,

we might be able to find out
what happened to her.

Do you have any idea
what Becca would have done

with a stolen watch?

Tamara, hey.

Uh, it's okay.

There's no judgment here.

Um...

there's a pawn shop we used to go to.

Harvey's.

It's just two blocks.

Okay, yeah. We'll check it out.

- Are you okay here?
- Yeah.

Yeah. I'm good.

Okay.

So, all parties here are in agreement

on the terms of the deal...

you, Jason Wyler,

admit to residing in an address

not registered
with your parole officer.

You admit to the crime
of laundering money

for the Southern Front
criminal organization.

And you admit to the
crime of planting cocaine

in a vehicle owned by Bailey Nune.

He does.

And, I regret all of it.

Oh, come on.

In exchange for your cooperation

with an investigation
into Southern Front,

we are prepared to offer you

a reduced sentence of 18 months.

18 months?

He nearly ruined my life,
