Oh, thank you for coming out so quickly.

Not a problem.

You said you'd been a victim of a robbery?

Yes.

Sorry. I'm a little shaken.

Perfectly understandable.

I didn't think something like this could happen.

Everything seemed so safe.

And, uh, what all was stolen?

A poleax, a cloak of undying, and my giraffe, Nexi.

I have to get her back.

It took two weeks of grinding to save up for her egg.

Oh, don't look at me.

This is not my brand of out there.

Um, sorry. I'm lost.

Uh, they broke into your apartment...

Not this place. My "Cloudmaster" mansion.

In Shadow Realm.

Someone stole these items from a VR world?

Not someone... DragonSlayer6498.

Here. You can question him yourself.

Oh, the... Okay.

Wow.

No, no, no.

No. Nope. Nope. Can't see.

Now, every week, a new real estate agent

wants to list the house.

I really should consider selling mine.

Tim and Genny made a fortune

selling their dad's place, right?

Yeah, they sure did.

But you still have tenants in yours.

And they're great.

This sweet older couple that have been together for 50 years.

It's very inspirational.

And what do you charge for rent?

$3,000 a month.

And your mortgage is $2,000. That is great passive income.

Right?

Theoretically.

They don't always pay their rent on time.

Late a few days?

More like a few months.

Bailey, how... how long has it been since they paid rent?

Did I mention that they were high-school sweethearts?

Six months.

They haven't paid their rent in six months. I'll talk to them.

Now, I think maybe I better handle it.

We all know that old people are your kryptonite.

My grandmother raised me.

And she did a lovely job.

Solving crimes one meme at a time?

Uh, balancing the awfulness of humanity

with a little baby time.

Leah's huge.

When did that happen?

I know. She's gonna be crawling any minute now.

Hmm. Unlike Angela, who skipped right to walking.

Damian, what are you doing here?

I need a favor.

If this is about baptizing Jack, can you just...

Oh, I already handled that.

What? Yeah.

Last time I was over for dinner,

I brought a little holy water and...

Is that kosher?

Different religion.

Oh, you mean if it's cool? Uh, yes.

Technically, I have a license to baptize anytime, anywhere.

Without even asking?

You'll thank me later.

I'm here about one of the gang members

I've been counseling, Mateo Ramirez.

He was about to renounce the life, and then he disappeared.

His family hasn't heard a word, and I'm worried.

Who does he run with?

Quinlan Wright's crew.

We know Quinlan.

He's been coming up fast with a young crew.

Yeah. He's been making big moves,

scooping up Elijah's territory.

So you'll look for Mateo?

He's a good kid, deserves a fresh start.

Sure. Text me his cell number,

and we can start tracking him where it was last pinged.

Thank you.

Those kids are lucky to have you.

But next time you come to my house,

I'm gonna search you for communion wafers.

Hey.

What was wrong with the old coffee machine?

Ooh. Lead levels, for one.

Mice infestation, for two. Here.

Thank you very much.

Here, let me do it.

See? It's easy.

That is easy.

Yeah. I watched a ClipTalk tutorial.

So, what'd you guys get up to last night?

Nothing.

I went to the new Chagall exhibit.

Oh, yes. Bailey wants to check that out.

You should totally take her.

You get such a great sense for the evolution of his style.

It's good. We will. Okay.

Thank you for the rec and the bar.

Yeah. See ya.

"Nothing?" You had all morning to come up with a cover story,

and that's what you went with?

Whoa, whoa. He bought it, didn't he?

Mm. What if he had asked you

a follow-up question about the exhibit?

Let him. I read the catalog for the exhibit cover to cover.

Mm-hmm.

I hear you have Citizen's Academy today.

I do. Do you have any tips?

Yeah. Uh, look, you're gonna get a lot of busybodies

who are way into their neighborhood watch.

But the ones you have to be most careful with... screenwriters.

Mm. Do not give them your business card.

You'll be up to your eyeballs in scripts.

Okay. Thank you. Yeah.

So, um, what are you doing tonight?

"Nothing"... I hope.

Nothing sounds perfect.

Hello.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Welcome to Citizen's Academy.

Uh, I'm Officer Lucy Chen,

and I will be your instructor today.

So, as you know, this is an outreach program

where you learn a little bit about the LAPD

and how we do things here.

And one of the first things we always do

is run background checks on everybody who signs up.

So, Chris Pike, Jack Harris,

you have prior felony convictions

for robbery and assault,

so that will disqualify you from learning

how we do business here.

Officer Simmons will show you out.

Thank you.

And, Janet White...

Not only do you have a record,

but you have an outstanding warrant for your arrest.

Finn will happily escort you to processing.

Right this way. You can tell me

why stealing a fire truck seemed like a great idea.

Okay.

So now that that's out of the way, let's get started.

Yes?

We're allowed to use whatever happens here in our scripts,

right?

As long as we change the names?

Mm-hmm.

Hey, so, I have some ideas on how I think we can increase

the LAPD's social media presence.

Think I should run them by Grey?

Absolutely.

Are you just saying that so you can watch him shoot me down?

Genny? What's up?

I'm at Tyler's baseball practice.

Spellman Field.

Things are getting really ugly

between one of the parents and the coach.

No! Why can't you just...

On our way.

How is he supposed to show you what he can do

when he is stuck in the outfield?!

I know what he can do.

I want Cody on that pitcher's mound immediately

or I'm having you fired!

You do know I'm coaching the kids for free, right?

Then we're paying you what you're worth.

Okay, guys, maybe we could discuss this in private.

What's the problem?

Oh, this... this idiot wants to put my kid on the outfield!

He's a pitcher! No, he's not.

Blake is the only one with any actual pitching skill.

Uh, I don't have to pitch, Coach.

Really, I-I like the bench.

See? Bench him.

You want to know why your son's in the outfield, Celeste?

Because he's terrible!

He is the worst player I've ever coached.

Okay, ma'am, now you're going to jail.

What? No, I... Woman: Oh, my God, what just happened?

But, uh, he's a pitcher.

Sir, are you okay?

No.

I quit.

Does this mean practice is canceled?

He's our third coach.

Might mean the season's canceled.

Hang on. What about... What about Tim?

What about Tim?

Nothing.

No, it's a great idea.

You love baseball, and you wanted to be

more involved in Tyler's life.

Please, Uncle Tim. We'll have the best time.

I promise.

It's an important distinction.

A robbery is when you take something

through the use of force or fear,

and a burglary is when you break into a structure

to commit a crime.

Yeah? What's a B&E?

The...

That is a TV term.

Under California statutes, it's not a thing,

so don't use it.

Yeah?

What happens when you call the police about domestic violence?

Well, great question.

A domestic violence call is a mandatory arrest.

If we're called to a home,

somebody is going away in handcuffs.

The days of cops looking the other way are long gone.

But, like, what happens to the victim,

you know, if they don't have a place to stay?

Um, there are amazing shelters in the city.

It's a scary situation,

um, and it might seem like there's no place to go,

but I promise, everyone has options.

I mean, I was just curious.

Yeah, no. Of... Of course.

Six months is a long time to go

without paying rent, but times are hard.

I can understand Bailey's reluctance to force the issue.

Permission to speak freely, sir?

Proceed.

You and Bailey are too nice to be in the L. A. landlord game.

You think they're taking advantage of us?

Oh, I-I know they are.

Look, my cousin, he let a tenant stay so long,

he changed the locks and took advantage of the squatter laws

to all but steal the house.

To be a landlord in this town,

I mean, you got to be willing to cut a bitch...

Well, figuratively speaking, sir.

Got it... so less Mr. Nice Guy, more stone cold killer.

Mm-hmm.

Good morning.

Oh, hello, Officers. How can I help you?

Bailey Nune is my fiancée and also your landlord.

She mentioned you might be a little behind on rent.

Six months late, in fact.

Malcolm, can you come here? He's here about the rent.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Officer.

We've been struggling a little recently.

But... But we have the money.

I-It's just tied up. But it shouldn't be much longer.

I understand. I get it. I've been where you are.

But Bailey has given you lots of time to resolve this.

I agree completely.

I will hand-deliver the rent on Wednesday.

But I-I will have to take a couple hundred off.

We've had a few maintenance issues.

Oh, did you bring those up with Bailey?

Oh, no, no. We... We didn't want to trouble her.

I am also a contractor.

If anything else comes up, you just shoot them over to me,

and I'll be here Wednesday for the back rent.

Absolutely. Thank you.

You bet. Thank you.

I'm not gonna see them Wednesday, am I?

I'm telling you, just sign over the lease now.

7-Adam-15, 2331,

we're working a missing person, Mateo Ramirez.

His cellphone last pinged at the old Florence Kitchen.

You free to meet us there?

Can do.

I don't like this.

Something bad happened.

The unfortunate effects of supply chain issues?

No. No, this is as close as I've ever felt to evil...

Find anything?

True evil. Huh?

The place does give off a certain vibe.

And this is weird.

What?

This is fresh plasterboard.

Why fix a wall in a place destined for a wrecking ball?

I'm gonna call Mateo's cell, see if we can hear anything.

Careful.

Ohh. Ugh.

You need a minute? No, sir.

You ever seen anything like this before?

Not exactly like this,

but I have seen plenty of things I wish I could unsee.

I mean, I've known how brutal the world can be

since I was a kid, but, I mean, it's still shocking

when you come face to face with it.

And yet it's when it stops being shocking

that you really need to worry.

Yeah.

Alright. What can I do?

TID's on the way to process the scene.

Why don't you go outside, wait for them,

and show them the way in?

So, we thinking cartel?

Or cartel-inspired. Mateo was affiliated.

He ran with Quinlan Wright's crew.

I'd bet money the rest of these guys did, too.

Yeah. We'll know for sure once we I. D. them.

Celina okay?

Yeah. She will be. I'm not sure if it helps

or if it hurts that she sees this as...

Evil incarnate?

Yeah. You believe in that?

A hundred percent.

Uh, do I believe in the embedding

of a metaphysical force within the body

that turns people into monsters?

No comment.

But I know for a fact that this is only gonna get worse.

If this really is Quinlan's guys,

then this is likely the beginning of a gang war.

With who?

Moses Warden.

That's my pick.

They've been fighting over Elijah's territory for months.

Well, maybe we pay both these guys a visit,

impress upon them how bad it would be

if they were to take it any farther.

It's worth a try.

A shot across the bow is not gonna stop them,

but it might slow them down long enough

for us to put bracelets on the monsters who did this.

You avoiding the pastries. I don't blame you.

They look sad.

I need to watch my figure.

My boyfriend hates women who let themselves go.

Oh, well, what does it matter what he thinks? It's your body.

He's helping me.

You know, I need the motivation to be the best I can be.

Oh, and if you slip up? What does he do then?

Uh...

He's cool about it.

It's my body. You know, like you said.

You know, sometimes controlling behavior...

It... it can be, like, a red flag.

Um, t-that's not...

Uh, he's just looking out for me.

I-I shouldn't have said anything.

The bathroom's that way, right?

Yeah. Mm-hmm. Okay.

You'll never guess who's coaching Little League.

Nolan?

No. Sergeant Friendly.

What? How did that happen? Can I watch?

Guys, it's not that big of a deal, alright?

Uh, Tyler's coach quit,

so I'm just gonna sub until they find a replacement.

Hmm.

What's this?

Uh, so, one of the "students"... Kyra Cook.

Um, her boyfriend, Oliver, is recently divorced,

and his ex has a restraining order against him

for domestic violence.

Hmm. Do you think he's abusing Kyra?

Yeah, I do. I mean, I'm not...

I'm not sure how I can help, though.

Well, if she won't admit it's happening,

what can you do?

She came to Citizen's Academy for a reason.

Maybe... Maybe she wants help, but she's still too afraid.

I think I just need to find a way

to make her feel comfortable enough to ask for it.

Bailey's tenants sent over a list of things

they say need repairing.

It numbers in the hundreds. Replace the spa jets?

She doesn't even have a hot tub.

You still struggling?

No.

Well, a little.

I know. I-I need to get over it. I'm a cop.

I'm going to see messed-up things.

True. It doesn't mean you have to act like

it doesn't have an impact on you.

I mean, Harper didn't blink.

Harper has seen things

that would give Freddy Krueger nightmares.

Alright. So who's this guy we're going to jam up?

Quinlan Wright. Got his start working corners.

Graduated to trafficking. Spent two years in Pelican Bay

and got out just in time for Elijah's fall.

Okay, how do you keep all these players straight?

I mean, it seems like they're rising

and falling every five minutes.

Takes work. Uh, CIs on the street, regular check-ins

with the different desks... Detectives, narco, gangs.

I was planning on waiting till you had a few more months

under your belt to do that deep dive.

Oh, I'm ready now.

The more I know, the less surprised I'll be.

Ah, if only that were true.

You know the name.

Hi, there. We're here to talk to Moses.

And don't say he's not here, because we watched him

pull in a few minutes ago.

You moved up in the world, Moses.

I know you?

I hooked you up a couple times when I was working patrol.

Oh, yeah.

Didn't recognize you without the lady cop bun.

Congratulations on the promotion.

You look good out of uniform.

Oh, I know. We're here about the bodies

that you dropped in Mid-Wilshire.

Walled them up, hoping we wouldn't find them.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Come on. Everyone in town knows

you and Quinlan are fighting for territory.

Trust me, if I was gonna make a move on Quinlan,

I wouldn't make it a mystery.

I'd string his guys up so everyone would see.

Look, I don't want this getting out of hand

any more than y'all do, alright?

I'm not thinking about retaliating against Moses.

You've already set something in motion.

Harper, Lopez, heads up.

You got trouble headed your way.

I hope you've enjoyed this little taste of police work today.

I know I've enjoyed sharing with you. So thank you.

Your questions were very eye-opening.

Have a nice day.

Yeah.

Kyra, could you stay a minute?

I was just thinking about your question,

"Where do domestic violence victims go

when they don't have anyone to stay with?"

I was just curious.

Of course. I, um...

I would just kick myself if I didn't...

If you're scared to go home,

I could get you a place in the shelter tonight.

No one would ever need to find out where you are.

What would happen to him?

Would you arrest him?

Depends what you tell me. Does he hit you?

No. He would never do that.

He just loses his temper...

You know, punches walls, stuff like that.

Yeah. I can only imagine. That's really scary.

You know, that kind of violence, it can escalate really quickly.

So just be honest with yourself.

Do you feel safe with him?

Not always.

Why don't we get you a bed for tonight?

Maybe a little bit of time away would be good.

Okay.

Thank you.

You guys okay? Yeah.

Moses's shop has seen better days.

Where's he?

Slipped out the back as soon as the shooting started.

You know he's gonna go back at Quinlan twice as hard.

Be sure to brief the midnight shift and the gang desk.

This war's gonna keep escalating

until they take each other out.

Guys, nice work. There's room for improvement,

but I'm seeing a lot of heart out there, okay?

Uh, Blake, let's see you pitch.

Alright. Let's go back out. Back to drills.

Hi. Um, who are you?

What? I...

The... "A lot of heart"? They're kind of a mess.

They're kids. It's supposed to be fun.

Yeah.

This is weird, right?

Our dad coached Tim's a little league team

for all of three days.

He has literal scars.

He's trying not to be like him.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, there is such a thing

as over-correcting.

Hey, guys. Bring it in. Huddle up.

What are you doing?

You know, kids need to have fun,

but they also need a little bit of structure.

Hey, hustle up. Okay.

Uh, my name is Lucy. I am Coach Bradford's friend,

and we're gonna start with the basics... throwing the ball.

So, first things first,

make sure the ball is secure in your mitt.

Eyes on the target.

Step out with the opposite leg from your throwing arm.

Follow through.

Ball lands back in the mitt.

And we'll cycle through that, okay?

We're not gonna move on until everybody gets it.

So spread out. Let's give it a try.

You heard her.

Oh. Oh.

Alright. Are you ready to get tough about the back rent?

Oh, big time.

Why are there so many lights on, though?

I don't know.

Weird.

You here for the shoot?

What shoot?

Where's Maeve and Malcolm?

I don't think they're here.

Are they filming a porno? On my furniture?

I prefer the term "adult film."

How much are they charging you to film here?

$1,500 a shoot, four shoots a week.

$1,500... That's...

Six thousand dollars. A week.

I'm... I'm gonna kill them.

I think you two should co-coach. You were great together.

Oh, no, no. I'm... I'm ready to hand over the reins entirely.

Not a chance.

No, but seriously.

I saw today why you work so well together.

I-I... It's just, uh...

We spend so much time together on... out on the job. Mm-hmm.

It's so great that Tyler

has been making friends so quickly after moving here.

Yeah. I mean, Blake's mom works crazy hours,

so he practically lives at our house. Mm.

Hey, guys? We're about done. Let's wrap it up.

My mom just texted,

my dad's coming to the game tomorrow.

Oh, that's great. We'll make sure he gets

the best seat in the house.

Here, honey.

What's up?

Blake's dad ran out on them a year ago.

Oh. Do you know why?

Outstanding warrants for assault and attempted murder.

If he shows up tomorrow, we're gonna have to arrest him.

Blake will be devastated.

Well, maybe we'll get lucky

and he'll flake on his son again.

Yeah, here's hoping.

Excuse me. Hello.

Officer Chen, it's Sherice from the shelter.

The woman you sent over... Kyra... she's a problem.

What's going on?

She kept asking if her friend Linda was here,

and when I told her it was illegal for me

to disclose anything about the people who stay in my shelter,

she asked to be moved.

Yeah, I think I know what's going on.

Uh, I'm sorry about that. I-I'll head over right away.

Thanks.

What's wrong?

There's something going on with my domestic.

You want me to come?

No, it's okay. I got it.

You're leaving?

A friend says that I can stay with her.

Kyra, you don't have to lie to me.

You're going back to Oliver.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You asked about Linda, right?

I know that your boyfriend's ex-wife is named Linda.

You're crazy.

Did he tell you to ask for her and the kids?

She stole his kids and pumped them full of lies.

He just wants to explain.

Kyra, we know that he has been beating her for years.

You don't understand.

No, I do.

I think he's using you.

And maybe you were telling the truth earlier

that he doesn't hit you,

but statistics say that he will, okay?

So you need to get out of that house.

I'm done talking.

Wait.

Look, take my card, okay?

You can call me. Take it.

Kyra, get in.

You don't have to go with him.

You don't.

Yeah, she does.

Get in the damn car.

Oliver, you need to wait.

Kyra and I are still talking.

I've got nothing more to say to you.

You have yourself a nice night.

There's nothing you can do until she files a police report.

She's not gonna do that. She's under his spell...

Which is baffling to me,

even though I understand the psychology behind it.

Listen, I-I had this... This case early on,

and the woman would call us, we'd arrest her husband,

she'd change the story.

The details made no sense.

D.A. couldn't prosecute,

and she'd go stay at a shelter for a while,

and then she'd go back to him.

I just... I could never make sense of it.

What happened to her?

He killed her.

And afterwards, the, uh, doctors showed us a C. T. scan,

and there was so much damage,

you would think she was a professional boxer.

Oh, God.

No wonder her story changed so much.

These cases are frustrating and hard.

All you can do is keep circling back.

And she may never be ready to leave,

but it's important she knows that we'll be there when she is.

Thank you.

Hey. Sorry to interrupt.

Did you get my e-mail about the deadbeat tenants?

I did.

Bailey is renting to these nightmare septuagenarians

who have a history of torturing landlords.

They grew toxic mold in their last rental

to avoid paying rent.

Which means you need to start playing hardball.

Oh, listen, I can do that.

Mm. I have my doubts.

Look, it's just that him and Bailey

are just way too nice to be landlords.

Totally. O-O-Okay, hold on.

You are a complete badass out on the streets,

but off-hours... I mean, you're a little...

Easy target. A push over.

Hmm. Alright. The good news is they haven't paid rent,

so you can start the eviction process today.

Based on their history, they'll probably take it to court.

Because of the backups, it'll take a while to get a date.

Uh, if you're lucky, you'll be rid of them in three months.

Three...

So meanwhile, I'll be out legal fees,

and they'll pocket $18,000 renting out the place

to make "adult films." Wonderful.

Okay, wait... They're doing a porn set?

You didn't tell me that.

I was afraid you would find a way

to make it my fault.

No, no. Regardless, that is what's gonna save you.

Yeah, he's right. The lease terms

specifically prohibit that.

Makes the case more clean cut.

Great. Just you wait and see how much of a pushover I can be.

I-Is it too late to call in sick?

No sick days for rookies.

Taking Elijah off the board gave us brief peace.

Now there's blood in the streets.

Moses has been around for a long time.

He even has legitimate businesses as fronts.

He's smart and measured until he's pushed into a corner.

And Quinlan is young and wild and not trying to wait his turn.

Did the night shift hear anything

about Moses hitting back?

No. Not a peep, which somehow makes me more nervous.

At least that means there's no new bodies.

Or none that we've found yet.

I'm not religious per se, but there's a lot

I'd like to get off my chest.

The confessional's really just for Catholics.

Uh, totally get it.

Uh, maybe we could talk on your way out.

Mnh-mnh.

Or not.

I have a lead.

A kid in my congregation... One of Mateo's friends...

He came to me this morning and asked me to tell you something.

When you say "friend," you mean they used to bang together?

Yeah.

He told me Moses's crew is transporting

a big shipment of drugs today,

hidden in merchandise for his auto shop.

Wait, I thought you said your informant is in Quinlan's gang.

He is.

What?

There's just... There's no way

a street-level kid would know something like that,

especially about a rival gang.

Unless someone wanted him to know.

Quinlan sent him to tell you.

He wants the LAPD to do his dirty work for him.

I'm... I'm not following.

He tips us off so we take Moses off the board.

Quinlan wins the war without losing any more of his guys.

So you're not gonna act on the tip?

Oh, no. We definitely are.

Doesn't matter if Quinlan's trying to play us.

Any chance we have to put Moses behind bars,

we're gonna take it.

Hello.

Where the hell did you go, huh?!

Lucy? Where the hell did you go?!

Kyra, are you okay?

He's really mad. I told you to find her!

He says that it's my fault that he can't see his kids. It's gonna be worse for you

if I have to find her! Yeah, okay.

What I'm gonna need you to do right now, Kyra,

is get into a public place, okay?

Who the hell are you talking to?

Nobody.

I'm sorry.

Kyra?

Control, I have a possible 2-73-5

at 9213 Longview Avenue.

Send additional units.

LAPD! I'm coming in!

Hey! Get off her.

Hands where I can see them.

Back up.

Make me. You really want to add

assaulting a police officer to your charge?

In for a penny.

Oh!

Put your hands behind your back.

Kyra, put the gun down.

He's not a bad guy.

He just gets mad sometimes.

He was about to kill you.

No. I overreacted. I shouldn't have called.

No, you made the right decision. You are in danger here.

They took his kids.

He is the reason he lost them.

No! His wife... she...

No, no, no, no.

I know what he said to you, Kyra, and that's a lie.

You don't understand.

Okay.

None of that matters.

What matters right now is the choice that you are making.

Okay? If you shoot me, you're not gonna save him,

but you will go away to prison forever, okay?

Just... put the gun down.

Kyra...

you have the power right now to save me, okay?

Just put the gun down.

It's okay.

Turn around.

According to our source,

Moses's truck should be pulling in any minute.

Copy that.

Can I ask you a question while we wait?

Go for it.

What's your take on true evil?

Does it exist?

Evil as in the devil or guys with broken brains

who get off on torture?

The first one.

Look, I think looking for some mythical creature to blame

for all the messed up stuff human beings do is a cop out.

I disagree.

I mean, yeah, there are some depraved people in the world,

but you can't say that you haven't seen people act

in a way that you can't explain.

That's it... green cab.

Standby for the hand-off.

And there it is.

Move in.

Police!

Show me your hands! Now!

Face the truck.

You good?

Yeah.

Turn around.

Score.

Drugs confirmed inside.

Congratulations. You're both under arrest.

Any idea how much weight they're transporting?

Not yet, but even if a quarter of these boxes are loaded,

we're talking tonnage.

It's weird how your worst day is suddenly our best.

What would make it better for both of us...

Get your guns outside the vehicle.

Hands behind your back.

Let's go. Drop them!

Out of the car. Step out of the car.

Go. Out.

Turn around. Hands against the car.

We're code-4.

We need R. A. s for five G. S. W. victims.

I think we need to have a talk with our informant.

I was just thinking the same thing.

My brother says you told him about the drug shipment.

What we need to know is who told you.

It's alright, Ricky. You can tell her.

It was Quinlan. Mm, no.

See, you wanted us to think it was coming from Quinlan.

But why would your boss ask the LAPD

to intercept his rival's drug shipment

and then send his own guys in?

He had to know they'd get arrested.

I think someone else asked you to tip us off.

Someone who would benefit from both Quinlan and Moses

being taken down.

We just need you to tell us who that is.

I can't. He'll kill me.

Who?

Listen to me. I know you're scared.

We can protect you, but only if you help us.

Angela's telling the truth.

You know she's my sister, right?

If she says she has your back, she's got it.

He paid me $5,000 to tell you about the shipment.

Who paid you?

Elijah Stone.

Moses didn't kill Quinlan's guys.

Elijah did, to provoke a war.

He had Moses and Quinlan soften each other up,

then he sent us in for the kill.

Not that we can prove any of it.

All we have is Ricky's testimony.

Which Elijah will claim that he tipped off the police

about an illegal activity,

like any upstanding citizen would.

After everything we went through to take him down,

less than a year later,

he's right back where he started.

I have to tell Wesley before he finds out some other way.

Angela can't be anywhere near this investigation.

Neither of them can.

I know.

She won't like it, but Elijah's seven steps ahead.

One wrong move, he'll have her badge.

Come on, hit it!

God! Every time!

Be encouraging.

Yes. Good. Good job. Good try.

We're gonna work on that.

Blake, you're up, bud.

Alright, you've got this. Eye on the ball.

Let's go, let's go.

Good job, buddy.

Whoo!

He looks scared.

You make him nervous. I'm nervous, huh?

You're making him nervous.

Blake, you got this, bud.

♪ You were cheering me on ♪

Yeah! Whoo! Yeah! Whoo!

Calm down.

They left my bed. Of course they did.

Well, at least you got them out.

I feel so stupid.

How could I fall for this?

After Jason, you'd think I'd learn.

Listen. After everything you've been through,

you still have it within you to trust people.

I find that admirable.

♪ I didn't know I was the one to root for ♪

I mean, yeah, sure, you could pull it back a smidge.

So, what now? Do we put out an APB?

Tempting. But given their track record,

I would think they're halfway to another state by now.

Now, let's just focus on finding some new tenants

and do the mother of all background checks.

No. I'm ready to sell.

Really? Yeah.

This is my old life.

You and your place... It's my future.

And we're gonna have to do some work on this place,

though, before we sell.

"We"? I-I mean, I'll help,

but I'm not a contractor.

No. You're more of a supervisor. Mm.

Gotta play to my strengths. Mm-hmm.
