Previously on The Rookie.

How's it going with Raj?

Long distance is challenging, but his European tour ends next week.

Is there a cell phone?

As soon as you have something.

Rita Sanchez, this is Bradley Worth.

We work with the Democratic Party, and we want you to run for district attorney.

If you're not in 100 percent...

I'm in.

Now you're in the spotlight, and you will stay there until I find a way to hang these murders around your neck and lock you away forever.

I'm not moving to D.C.

John.

No, I can't tear my life apart.

Why are you blowing it all up like this?

I'm trying to save our marriage.

I didn't realize it was in jeopardy.

Bailey.

I really don't see how candles and crystals are going to improve my love life.

Rose quartz will open your heart chakra and treat your emotional wounds.

Also, I'm picking up a black tourmaline crystal to protect Raj on his journey home.

Oh, tour spelt in the oak?

Yes, and I'm looking forward to a little, you know.

Is there a crystal for straight up getting laid?

I mean, there are some pretty frisky gemstones.

But mostly a crystal store is just a very calm and healing place.

I paid you $500 for love spelt that didn't work.

With that attitude, I'm not surprised, Mark.

Negativity is toxic.

Give me my money back or I'm going to slap the taste out of your mouth.

Sir, let's dial it back.

Try it and I'll curse you.

Go ahead, you crazy witch.

Your teeth are not here.

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, there's nothing.

All right, come on, buddy.

I'm a cop.

I'm telling you it's time to go.

Sir, she stole $500 from me.

Come on.

Hey, remember eight weeks ago when I bought the perfect Valentine's Day gift for Tim?

Oh, you mean eight weeks ago when I started my morning commute?

Seriously, how is it possible that L.A. traffic keeps getting worse?

I don't know.

Blame car culture or inadequate mass transit.

Hey, but let's focus back on the baseball autograph by Fernando Valenzuela that I bought Tim

and which I hid so well and now cannot find.

How is that possible?

I don't know.

I think I re-hit it after a few tequilas.

What do I do?

I feel like he probably got me something amazing.

Hey, can I call you back?

Sure.

I will just be here ripping up the floorboards.

And I will still be in traffic.

Hey.

Hey, sis.

I need your help.

Let me guess.

You forgot to buy Lucy a Valentine's Day present.

No.

I ordered one months ago.

That full Korean skincare line that she loves.

That's amazing.

What's the problem?

It never came.

And they're not responding to my emails, so I need a last-minute present.

What about jewelry?

That's so cliche.

I wanted to get her something special.

You're cute, but women really love...

Hey.

Hey.

Morning.

Coffee.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Hey, we're not doing presents right now, though, right?

We're doing it...

We're doing it tonight, right?

No, no.

Yeah, tonight.

Yeah.

After the fundraiser.

Oh, yeah.

Okay, good.

Good.

You are gonna love what I got you.

Oh.

Same.

What happened to your face?

Oh, an accident.

Yesterday at the crystal shop.

Although Selena thinks it's the curse.

I don't believe in that kind of thing.

Oh.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

My eye!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

I'm sorry to curse.

Enough said.

By the way, I can't believe you volunteered to host Wesley's fundraiser.

Oh, yeah, well, Bailey's on ship the whole week at the firehouse if we're going through

a bit of a rough patch.

I thought, why not mask my Valentine's misery with a hundred wealthy strangers and a dozen

middle-class friends.

Smart.

I'm assuming the move to D.C. is causing the strife.

Yeah.

And I've been trying to come up with a solution that would make both of us happy, but, you know,

marriage is about compromise not always sometimes it's about one person making a sacrifice for the

other i did it when dominique was born and i chose to stay home now that i'm back to work

wade is clearly having a hard time with the time commitment of my new career

i never see her it's like i'm a bachelor without the fun of being single

i was hoping you would tell me it wasn't so bad hey i love my wife and i support her just like

you support bailey 100 but do i like falling asleep every night waiting for her to come home from work

or canceling plans because she caught an extra ship no i do not still she's happy if she's happy then

i'm happy sounds like i'm happy yes sir thank you for your perspective sir

what about a watch for tim's present

uh what does this tim need a watch no but he didn't need a signed baseball either

it was instinct you know i mean i i saw the curse coming and i just like kid behind miles

i know i know my job is to run towards danger not use my partner for cover i mean how can i say i'm

fit to be a cop when i'm clearly a coward you selena you are not a coward and curses they're not real

so just you know cut yourself a little bit slack okay i think he's gonna be okay

sir i need to search you is there anything sharp in your pockets that can stick me nope

be careful of the spiders

ow ow what the hell what's wrong with you man i like spiders

okay uh sir any more surprises in your pockets no just the spiders okay we'll finish this search

at the station jump in watch your head

you okay yeah yeah just having one of those days

i don't need to think it's confirmation of the curse weird stuff happens all the time on the job

oh 100 but maybe you should take an uber back to the station just for my safety

call it in

glasser murdered 10 people they all deserve justice

look i agree but we both live in the real world where our first priority is taking the strongest case

to trial the one we know we can win okay so you're just dumping remy darden no no but for

now i have to hold back on prosecuting glasser for remy's murder but the dna buffet that glaser

created to contaminate his killing floor ruined any chance of using forensic evidence now if you

could have identified him in the basement then yeah but i couldn't neither of us thinks that i

should have lied about that of course not but it makes the path to conviction more difficult which

is why i need to be mercenary and only prosecuting glasser for what i can prove to a jury

hope you told his dad yet because if he calls you as much as he calls me to check in look i haven't

but i will right after the deposition is there anything i should be thinking of going in

but given the obstacles the dna issues the other serial killer the patsy the glasser used

you need to be perfect great no pressure

you know putting out fires is our job i'm gonna have to report you for a union violation

so any idea who set the swan on fire nope what does it say the swan was floating alone on a lake

when it ignited they never saw anyone aboard gasoline and laundry detergent just basically napalm

this was set by a pro using a mechanism to delay the ignition here it is he placed a lit cigarette

between the coils cover the boat and napalm and set it out on the lake the arsonist has about five

minutes to clear it you want to know what makes this even more interesting our first call this

morning was a fire at the sig free dry cleaners with a coil that looked just like this swan and

sig free to use that it cannot just be a coincidence i'm not seeing the connection

ah the story of swan lake the lovers were odette and siegfried what we have culture in sexes

so we are looking for a serial arsonist who loves the ballet um why don't you see if you can get the

security camera footage from the boathouse and see if anybody has a video on their cell phone

yes sir oh happy valentine's day i guess that depends on your definition of happy right

why don't i uh meet you at the station and lend my arson expertise to your investigation

sounds good

hey i'm almost home i'm just a flight and a layover and a flight away yay maybe we could have dinner

tomorrow i mean if you're not too tired and if you don't mind having a meal with a coward

are you kidding the whole reason i booked this planes trains and automobiles ass return trip is so i

could get back to you as quickly as possible translation estoy tan emocionado de verte

oh well then hurry up and get trans back here yes ma'am see you soon bye

ah see clearly the curse did not get on you please help help me no no no i need help

are you all right uh a witch she put a curse on me oh my god i was there what happened to you

yeah it all started this morning when i slipped in the shower and i chipped my tooth i i took a

ceiling fan to the head when it spun off the mount i was chased for three blocks by a pack of stray

dogs i lost my wallet my phone please i need to get this curse taken off me even if she did put a

curse on you it's not technically a crime you should go tell the owner you're sorry beg for

forgiveness i mean even offer her money anything to get her to reverse it and the sooner the better

okay okay thank you thank you yes all right yes you okay yeah uh yeah it's just it's just a guy was

it was hit by a truck earlier and it happened like right in front of us that's terrible he'd

been cursed never mind but i saw it with my own eyes yesterday at this crystal shop i go to no

judgment none given i spent way too many hours looking at the lizards at my local pet store

y'all got our hobbies right yeah well the thing is i well i was there when the curse happened and i

hid behind miles so it wouldn't get on me and now miles has had a run of bad luck and this guy is dead

and i'm worried that miles is next and it's my fault i mean i should have jumped in front of the

bullet i mean the curse whatever the point is my cowardice put my roommate in jeopardy you've gotten

two accommodations for bravery the last 18 months no one can call you a coward yes that's true but

how do you know that oh yeah um i i i looked you up after our last uh case together not in a creepy way

i just um hey i i heard there's some kind of big party going on tonight you going to that

oh uh it's it's a fundraiser for uh wesley's campaign oh no no no you should you should

probably come oh yeah you know just like donate donate books or something you want me to yeah

it'll be fun okay yeah all right great um looking forward to it okay i'll see you

oh man hey oh no no no what what what happened oh suspect had a pocket full of spiders turns out

i'm allergic but i slammed some benadryl okay no miles we have to go back to the crystal shop and get

the curse reversed what no i can't no no no miles the guy she aimed it at is dead got hit by a truck

this morning oh okay that's crazy but i really can't go right now let's go to power through it

detective harper you claim you were attacked in the westview basement i did not claim i was attacked

and did you see this person's face no well i appreciate the fact that you've been honest about

that from the start but it means that you ultimately decided my client was the attacker

based on what a feeling no other factors my 15 plus years as a police officer his physicality

his physicality aren't there millions of people in la county with the same approximate height and weight

asked and answered detective harper cannot definitively identify liam glasser well i'm

simply establishing that detective harper jumped to conclusions about my client's involvement without

any evidence that's a big swing do you want to lay foundation for that assertion or should we just

strike that now detective harper on the day that you first met my client at the mid-welshire station

did you subsequently follow him to his truck for a conversation at approximately 5 30 pm i did

and what was the nature of your conversation with mr glasser i told him that i thought he was involved

in the westview murders what specific unarticulable facts landed you at that conclusion i did not have

any evidence at this time so you just decided to find a way to frame my client i resent that allegation

did you tell my client quote i will find a way to hang these murders around your neck and lock you away

forever unquote may i remind you that you're under oath i'm aware

yes i did say that but i didn't record show detective harper answered in the affirmative

find a way wait till the jury hears that

good news i got harris to cover the back half of my shift so i can spend valentine's night with you

and if we're too tired to work things out we can have satisfying yet emotionally complicated sex uh

tempting not saying no but we would have to do it in front of the hundred or so mostly strangers who

are invading our house tonight wesley's fundraiser right i forgot

i'm ready for my first arson 101 lesson oh you don't look good oh it looks a lot worse than what

it really is although the uh spider bites is pretty bad okay okay well in a fire investigation we look

for seven things do you have any idea what those are what kind of accelerant they use diffuse to light it

and uh all right all right um five other things point of origins burn patterns fire behavior forced

entry missing items correct and when i put those factors through the arson database arnold mckenna's

name popped out arnold's been a fire starter for the last 20 years in and out of prison including a

stint that was two years ago last august so what's his motive other than really liking fires revenge

mostly he burned down the home of a former employer a carpet cleaner that stiffed him and the car

of an ex-girlfriend that he claimed cheated on him so what the swan did him wrong somehow what's

going on yeah there seems to be a disconnect the whole valentine's day element i mean has he set

thematic fires before no i mean it would be new for arnold all right well let's go get him uh how about

you do that solo and let me give some medical attention to miles yeah okay how's the present hunt

going ah badly you can't still be in the car no i am back in the car after a day of wrangling 17

hormonal preteens in an un-air-conditioned classroom oh my gosh okay um so i'll try and be quick um

i remember tim talking about this book that he used to read over and over again it was it was his escape

when the things were bad it's a sci-fi book right yes do you remember the title i want to get him a copy

of it for valentine's day sorry i don't but i can picture the cover it was this buff guy with a

girl with ridiculous breasts and they were fighting a tentacle creature it took place on the moon okay

cool thank you i could definitely work with that

no no that's not gonna work i need the full line cleanser serum toner all of it no i didn't wait to

buy a gift i ordered it from korea and it didn't okay you know what can you transfer me to the jewelry

department please yeah thank you i didn't do it every time there's a fire in this city you always

drag me in here well it wasn't me so just give me the details i'll give you my rock solid alibi

and i can get on with my day where were you this morning home alone so much for rock solid you weren't

near echo park lake a swan boat was set on fire nope what about at 6 a.m there was a fire at secret

dry cleaners swan lake cute but it wasn't me i hate the ballet but you'd love a 1.7 2.3 ratio of

gasoline to laundry detergent to create your accelerant with a uh susan of orange juice concentrate to make

it nice and sticky not like i patented that or anything no but you might have taught it to someone

who's doing a little bit of valentine's day fire starting give us a minute

hey hey what's going on lafd just put out a fire at the romeo bakery and they found a half burned

mosquito coil at the scene well it couldn't have been arnold which means he definitely has a protege

out there i'll get a court order to tap his phone whoever his student is arnold might reach out and give

him an anaboy we should definitely be putting eyes on everything and anything julietta jason mr darton

how do you feel about the prosecutor's office declining to charge lamb glasser with the murder

of your son remy what we have a source to say as a district attorney's office dropped the charges

no no that's not right no glasser killed my son i was promised wesley evers promised me that glasser would

pay i was gonna call him first thing this afternoon but the deposition ran long gabriel

darden should not be hearing this from a reporter somebody leaked it my bets on vivian she sees you

coming up in the polls she's looking to take your legs out by destroying your grieving father she's a

cold-blooded predator that's the reason you're running in the first place to bring empathy back to

the da's office we need to put out a statement i'll send you a draft in 20.

so what's the damage from my deposition honestly pretty catastrophic if i call you as a witness to

trial malcolm will have free reign to impeach your testimony he will paint you as a crooked cop to the

jury i never not once stepped out of line on that case with regard to evidence yeah but you let your

emotions get the better of you i just i wanted to wipe that smart coffee's face okay

i screwed up but angela can testify she was there for most of it she's not the lead detective

and she's my wife which is just another way that the defense will highlight the prejudice

against glasser plus if i don't call you malcolm will likely add you to his list he'll put you up there

postal witness it's a mess and unfortunately nyla it gets worse as an officer of the court i have no

choice but to report your conduct with glasser to internal affairs if i don't make the call to i

hate malcolm will and then i get disbarred for covering it up

like one million dollars i miss this huh you me out laughing about our nonsense me too

hey i've been thinking how would you feel if we designate one night a week as date night

that way no matter how busy we each get this on our calendar oh and why is this funny i just i'm

just i am just appreciating the role reversal for two decades i wanted you to have a more predictable

schedule and so now the shoe is on the other foot and i'm completely empathetic but i'm also a little

amused touche hey stranger hey you look like you could use a drink that obvious tim might have

mentioned trouble on the home front need a shoulder to cry on i owe you oh no you don't i mean i appreciate

the offer but uh we're working it through i think i'm here i'm here oh god we've really packed it in

here i could barely get in our front door hi wow you look beautiful oh so do you thanks

happy valentine's day oh i didn't get i thought we weren't doing presents i'm gonna go scope out

the dessert table thank you for the beer good for a lifetime of cohabitation would be the noon

until death do us part i don't i don't get it i'm not going to dc i'll call russ in the morning and

i'll tell what you have always been there for me john through secret husbands impetuous behavior

and emotional minefields and over the last few days i realized how hard it must have been for you to

tell me no about dc and i also realized instead of listening i took your head off and ran away from

the conversation you are the love of my life john i don't want to be anywhere you're not i feel the same way

when were you going to tell me you're going after harper who now is not coming by the way okay i'm not

going after her i have a legal obligation which you didn't feel when i threatened to kill elijah

in his kitchen that was a sanctioned sting operation there's no gray area here angela

i'm trying very hard very hard not to blame nyla because she is our friend but i might actually lose

this trial because of what she did lean glasser might walk free so take a moment consider who you're

mad at right now and whether that's deserved you two are so cute love the passion

well we are very passionate about justice i am not having a good time with this campaign join the club

i can't wait any longer no look i'm all for being adventurous but this might cross a line

get your mind out of the gutter i want to give you your gift oh wow okay i really hope it's the right

one you said how much this meant to you i tried to find you a new one but they're out of print

i can't is this signed yeah the librarian who helped me find it knows the author who lives in la

i'm sorry you knew she was going to give me the most thoughtful gift ever and you didn't say anything

you you told me to buy jewelry i got earrings she like them i didn't give them to her not after

this it's not a competition to see who can get the best gift okay you know what it is now i'm gonna

it out yeah uh gilmar um i am so sorry um i feel like um thanks i'm sorry excuse me

thank you thank you thank you for coming now i joined the da's office because i believe that

everyone regardless of their means their race or their social status deserves justice liar oh what about

my son

this is a nightmare you acted in self-defense protected your wife who didn't even protect him by the way but

i love that you did it okay i assaulted a grieving father we need to make a statement no you are

blowing up the internet getting praise across the political spectrum hell joe rogan called you an

american hero oh this is rogan's people i'm trying to get you on the podcast today hey this is breaking

my brain the people that usually hate progressives are suddenly my demographic whatever it takes we're in

this to win it so you need to find a way to be a badass and a saint at the same time

these are beautiful you open them well yeah we kind of got lost in all the excitement from last night

and i happen to find myself looking through your pockets and i i love them okay good but just know

it is a second choice gift i mean i bought you every item above that overpriced south korean face stuff

you love but it didn't ship in time and then you got me the most thoughtful present in recorded history

and i'm so sorry that it's not a better gift are you kidding yeah they match my necklace

these are incredible okay thank you you know i actually bought you a different gift first too

oh yeah yeah the fernando valens with a baseball hidden behind the washing machine you found it

and you didn't tell me i didn't want you getting mad at me for criticizing your hiding spots what green

warning the academy would have found that in like six seconds but i love you

name is mandy fisk she did six months for arson last year harold mckenna called her last night

at 9 34. you sure you're all right uh yes sir elevated door caught me good as i was leaving

this morning but i just need to walk it off hi can i help you you sure can why don't you invite us in

and i'll tell you how

clear the couch carefully what's this about why don't you have a seat and i'll try to explain

the la pd has been monitoring a phone that belongs to arnold mckenna he called you last night 9 34.

oh that's who that was i heard static on the line so i hung up the call lasted for three minutes

over the last 36 hours several fires have been started that match arnold's mo however they've

got a bit of a romantic streak that really doesn't fit arnold's temperament yeah he's more of a revenge guy

look arnold's a creep we were in the same halfway house when i got out of prison he

took a shine to me kept boasting about how powerful he was thinking it was going to help

him get in my pants wouldn't listen when i told him that i don't like boys for real he was obsessed

and i told him to get lost but not before you stole his special method for starting fires

no that's what the phone call was about last night someone is using his formula and setting

fires but it isn't me and i told him that it's not just you you have a partner you're wrong come

on swan lake romeo and juliet you're flirting with someone through fires a call in response so who is

your other half no one baby you gotta see this the juliet cake shop went up like a torch check out this

video on my phone and i'd love to see it perhaps i'll take a look while officer pen puts you both

in cuffs and reads you your rights watch your head

hi thank you thank you so much for coming in i want to make this clear right up front my client

does not accept any legal liability for events that have occurred since her argument with greg clark

two days ago oh no i'm not trying to arrest reanan for anything i want her to remove the curse off my

friend miles to promise any kind of restorative action could be taken as an admission of guilt no

please listen it's it's my fault okay i should have protected him and i know you're you're a good

person who wouldn't want her abilities to harm an innocent man not that they have or will this

conversation is over no no okay please i'll pay call it a charitable donation i'll sign whatever waiver

you want thousand dollars cash done yeah i will send it after my shift

i'm sorry it's not your fault wesley was just doing his job have you heard from iay yet no they'll need to

review all the facts before bringing me in but it would probably be best for us to keep things

purely professional until this is all over yeah i guess so

i said all the fires sally had nothing to do with it mandy don't look given we have her confessing to

setting one of the fires and we have it on video that's not going to stick please i talked her into

it she she's not even really a fire bug she's just in love with me and i took advantage she doesn't

deserve to go to prison she lit the fires mandy i can't just let her go look you can always try your

luck with the da's office look i'm not judging you it's your money but if this rhiannon woman truly

believed in her mystical power she wouldn't be jacking you up for a thousand bucks just to clean up her

spray and pray method of cursing yeah totally but i have to save miles then i'm taking my crystal

business elsewhere yeah oh my god

sir sir hey are you okay is he okay

this entrance is what's cursed oh my god oh my god

okay let me let me talk to nolan i'm sure he'll let us take miles for a few hours to get this

curse room thank you i'm afraid to wait any longer to get this done

what happened oh my god there was an explosion in this alleyport jeez

oh careful careful you got a huge piece of glass in your arm no no no leave it leave it leave it we

gotta get you a tourniquet first right right yeah okay okay we have to help everyone i need to find

miles i need to find miles first go to the kit room grab all the respirators yeah

ah jeez oh i'm here i'm right here

uh

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Okay. There's masks in the box.

I'm going to go back there.

Okay.

Are you okay?

Okay.

All right.

On three. Ready?

One, two, three.

I'll get the mask.

I'll get the key.

Here.

Can you walk?

Come on.

Take your way out.

I'll get the mask.

Oh, my God.

Ah.

Help.

Claire?

Robert.

Bradford!

Bradford, let's go! Come on!

Put this on.

Come on, get up.

No!

We can't stay here.

I'm not leaving her behind.

Hank, over here, it's Jan.

We need the soapbox.

Oh, damn.

Mom!

I'm about to go.

I, uh, I'm checking on a patient, uh, Mandy Fisk, she was burned in that fire.

Arnold McKenna, you're under arrest for use of a weapon of mass destruction and attempted

murder times a thousand.

And just so you know, Mandy and her girlfriend are gonna make it, but you're gonna go to prison

for the rest of your life.

Get them out of here.

Hey.

Hey.

Oh.

I thought I lost you.

Thanks for the save.

It's what we do.

Um, although it would be so great if we never had to survive a fire again.

Tell me about it.

Look who I found out in the lobby.

James should be landing any minute.

We need to talk each other down on the way over here.

Thanks.

I know you said we should keep it purely professional, but how about we start that tomorrow?

Come here.

Oh.

Oh.

Hey.

How's he doing?

Oh, he's okay.

Concussion.

Lots of blunt force trauma bruising, some second degree burns, but it could have been a lot

worse.

But it wasn't, because you saved him.

It was my fault he was in danger in the first place.

Okay.

Regardless, that's taken care of now, too.

I gave Rhiannon a thousand dollars to lift the curse.

She promised it's effective right away.

Oh, my God.

I will pay you back.

Oh, please.

I sold so much merch on my tour, I'm loaded.

Are you, uh, huggable?

Gently.

Well, I have a newfound respect for firefighters.

And you in general, as if I need it back.

And I have an even greater respect for your stubborn-headed bravery.

But next time, leave the fire rescue to the professionals.

We dress for it.

Yes, dear.

You should go to D.C.

John.

No, listen, I, I mean it.

We are strong enough to navigate the separation, and you really want it.

I took it personally, and it was never about us.

You think I'll get bored of this in a year and chase a new challenge back home.

I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.

Hmm.

That's right.

I'll see you.

I'll see you next time.

See you.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Damn it.
