Your timing is incredible.

Remember when I thought this job would be cool and sexy?

Having second thoughts?

Not really. Two days ago, we landed on an aircraft carrier in the high seas.

But today is not that day. How are you? Good. Just waking up after a blissful

night of sleep, uninterrupted by your snoring. Uh, I am not the one who

Oh, yeah, that's right.

So, no aircraft carriers today? No.

Today is back -to -back meetings about the technical specifications for the

-gen tactical triage kit.

Very funny.

Will you call me later?

Yeah, I sure will. It's a date.

Love you. I love you, too.

You don't have clearance to be here. Carl likes me. Carl's going to be

parking tickets in hell after this. Be mad at me. Don't take it out on Carl.

You don't get to tell me how to process this, Luna.

You have a hots for another guy. That is reductionist. What's that, SAT word?

We've been married 20 years. You cannot tell me that in all that time, your eye

never wandered. Not in a way that will result in you moving into a hotel.

LA's full of pretty girls, but none of them are you, Luna.

I'm trying to figure out what to do. Quit your job. Never see him again. Say

you're sorry. I got more if you need them. I am sorry.

But it's not that simple.

And I will not quit this job.

Then I don't know what there is to talk about.

All right. Let's get started.

Here's what I have to report from the overnight watch.

Nothing. Here's what I have to report from the brass.

Nothing. And here's what I have to report about today's forecast.

Nothing. Okay, I'm sorry. If that's the case, then why are we still having roll

calls? Because the nothingness of it is alarming.

Yeah. Saying things that are too quiet is a cliche, but like most cliches,

there's a little bit of truth to it. Chen's right.

The odds of getting no instructions from up the food chain, no activity from

overnight that requires follow -up, nothing actionable in today's forecast

abnormal. And we hate abnormal.

This is all I have for you today. Keep your heads on a damn swivel and stay

safe. That's it.

Thank you.

There he is.

Thank you.

Hey. Sorry to just drop by.

Shouldn't you be in school?

School is a state of mind. Today I want to go to the school of John Nolan.

It's a professional development day. Can I go on a ride along?

Because you're thinking of becoming a police officer?

That, and I'm making a short film, and I need some dynamic police footage.

Ah, because you saved my life.

I'm going to say yes, but I'm going to warn you, patrol work can be

unpredictable, honestly. We could be watching grass grow at the edge of a

scene all day. Or you could be involved in an epic car chase throughout the

streets of Los Angeles with a gritty French connection vibe, hopefully at or

near sunset.

Or something equally cinematic.

Careful what you wait for, Dad.

Where's the fun in that?

You take this?

Heavy? Yep.

Off we go. Yep.

It's going to go great.

By all accounts, Ryan Dearborn has turned his life around. He's on the

medications, and he's been clear and consistent about what Glasser did to

He's a Hail Mary, and we both know it. The guy was arrested hiding under the

floors of his RV. He confessed to Glasser's murders, and he knew details

the killer could know. Because Glasser groomed him inside Westview. Yeah, but

the end of the day, it's still going to come down to whether the jury believes a

man who has struggled with severe mental illness over a family man, a model

citizen. They'll believe because you'll make them believe.

That's sweet, but I do not have the upper hand here.

Sorry to interrupt.

Just wanted to tell you both good morning. Someone's in high spirits?

Are you not? I guess I'm just a morning person. Or maybe I'm anticipating your

latest star witness being another dud.

I just really love watching somebody else's train wreck.

Well, see you in there.

Hey, how are you? Fine is the only answer I have time for.

I wonder if you can do me a bit of an odd favor.

Are you going to ask me to do something classified?

No. Literally, I'm going to ask you to knock on the door until you open it.

Remember the criminal Nolan and Garza flew back from Vegas?

Everett, right? The military contractor who forced the aircraft to crash and

escape? Briefly escape, but yes. Something's come up as we've been

deeper into his criminal operation.

An unexplained...

connection inside the Pentagon.

Literally, it's an office number that we can't get clarity on without making it

known that we're interested.

And you want me to wander down the hall and see who's in it? Obviously, act like

it's the wrong office if someone opens the door. Okay, I'll do that after my

next meeting.

What is the office number?

I am not in your movie. Right, sorry.

I think you have a jawline that screams leading man.

Uh -huh.

So what time do things usually get crazy? I feel like most criminals sleep

Well, every day is different, but most of the people we deal with are not

criminals. They're just ordinary citizens who make a bad choice in a high

-stress situation.

Kind of sounds like my mom's dating history. Although, she got better after

divorced my dad. Now they're all just losers, not podcast ads for toxic

masculinity. I'm sorry, that can't be easy.

Fine.

Sarcasm heals most wounds.

Just wanted to be happy, you know?

27 Lincoln 15, are you available for a wellness check -out at the old Westview

Hospital facility?

That sounds boring. Maybe pass on that? I thought Westview shut down last year.

It did. They've had a remediation crew working there for the last six months to

make it safe for demolition.

According to the supervisor, they haven't had contact with the crew since

yesterday.

They sent another truck this morning and haven't heard back from them either.

This is 7 Adam 11 Radio and cell traffic at that site are spotty on a good day.

It was a real issue for us during the Glasser investigation.

Yeah, I can go check it out. No reason for you to go back there. You heard

Bradford. We are being extra vigilant today.

It's a huge campus. It's better for two units to respond.

All right. I'll see you there. Hey, you know we don't have to respond.

There's zero judgment from this seat. I appreciate that you think I care about

your judgment of me.

I was trying to be nice. And yet that is the one thing that I am not evaluating

one.

You got something else to say?

No, ma 'am.

Oh, so now you're lying to me. No, ma 'am.

It's just, when you're in the mood, you can start a fight in the empty house.

What is this place?

What remains of the Westview Hospital.

Back in the 1940s and 50s, it housed hundreds of patients, many of them

with polio. That's not even to mention the massive mental hospital complex that

was recently condemned.

Is it haunted?

No. Is that like a hard no, or is that like a I don't believe in that sort of

thing?

Is that a dead body?

Control, we got a DB.

Control, this is 7 Lincoln 15. Do you copy?

Pick your phone.

Yes, sir.

Stay in the car. But this is the perfect... Stay in the car.

Is anybody else in your drive -in? No.

It's a ghost town. According to dispatch, the original crew is 20

could be the guy they sent in to check on them. I think they sent more than

The passenger doors are wide open.

You're selling radio out too?

Yeah.

Is that drone kid in your car?

Yeah, Dash. He wanted to go on a ride -along.

And you chose today?

You're in uniform? I thought you were a detective.

A story for another time. Stay in the car.

What happened to him?

What the hell was that?

Take the kid and drop back until you find a signal. Call for backup. We'll

with the body. Right.

We will?

I mean, yeah, we will.

Look out!

Easy,

easy.

Oh!

I got to go find him. Twice again, these guys got exposed to something causing

some kind of acute neurotoxicity, turning them into homicidal maniacs.

makes them victims no matter their current psychological state. That's all

and good. While you stand, we let them kill us, are we going to be in a fight

for our lives? No, no. Just that lethal force cannot be our first option.

Right now, we have two priorities. Find him, protect the kid, and get a call out

for backup.

All right, I'm going after Dash.

We should split up, increase the odds of one of us finding a cell or radio

signal. All right, get going.

Mr. Dearborn, thanks for coming in. I wasn't sure what to wear.

You look great.

This is Malcolm Walsh. He represents Liam Glasser. Oh, I didn't realize...

law allows me to access evidence prior to trial in order to provide an adequate

defense, which means I can participate in your deposition.

Okay.

No problem.

But you're not going to get mad if I tell the truth about your client, right?

I promise.

Only if you promise not to get mad at me for questioning that truth.

With vigor.

Deal. All right. Do you recall confessing to the murders attributed to

Glasser? Yes. I was at the police station.

And do you recall why you confessed?

I was unmedicated at the time in the midst of a mental breakdown.

A part of me believed that I did those horrible things.

But now I know I didn't. Why did a part of you believe that you committed those

murders? I was coerced into thinking that I hurt people during psychotic

when I lost time.

Coerced by who?

Liam Glasser.

Over the course of the next two years, he began to fill my head with details of

murders he said I committed.

Whenever I would waver, he'd threaten me. Are you saying that you made a false

confession because he made you believe that you committed those crimes, or

because you were afraid of what he would do if you didn't?

A bit of both.

You have to understand, the voices I hear, the faces I see, they can be

but nothing...

terrified me as much as Liam Glasser.

The look in his eyes when he told me what he did, as he described in minute

detail what it felt like to carve a person up,

it made my own demons pale in comparison.

We should take a break.

It's creepy in here.

not okay.

Testing. Testing.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

That was badass.

I got it on camera.

Here.

Sweet.

Thanks. Here, cuff him.

You okay?

Wish I'd stretched first, but, uh, not bad.

From now on, try to stay with the group.

Well, it wasn't exactly on purpose, but, uh, I'll do my best.

Where's everybody else?

Exactly.

Come on.

Thank God.

Are you hurt?

No, just terrified.

Were you in the truck that came to check on the main crew?

Yeah, with Hank and Gail.

Well, the crazies caught him the second he got out of the truck. They kept

beating and tearing at him. I don't know what happened to Gail. I started

running.

But I'm safe now.

Yeah, stay fresh.

Thanks. There's not many of us here, and we can't get a signal out to call for

backup. How is that safe at all? Because when the LAPD doesn't hear from us,

they will send more people. I just have to keep you safe until then.

Get out of here.

Well, you wouldn't be well.

Can I help you? Oh, hi. Yeah, I was looking for a Colonel Ratcliffe. I was

his office was here.

No.

Okay, there's no name on the signage, so who exactly are you?

Sorry.

I'm just looking for a little help here. Have you been in the office long? Maybe

he used to be here? I can't help you.

No problem.

What happened to that?

Something overloaded their limbic systems, forcing their body to produce

amounts of stress, chemistry, cortisol, histamine, cytokines. But they're

wearing hazmat suits.

Yeah, at the cleanup site where we've been remediating the project's ultra

-chemicals. But I heard they just discovered it wasn't the only area on

that was contaminated. Where our crew was staging was also compromised,

with thallium and iofetamine. They were exposed to both of those in high doses

over time.

You managed to get a call out?

I got a brief signal next door, but my phone got smashed.

Where's Miles?

I don't know.

I hope he got out.

Let's move.

Move.

No, but by this point dispatch would have started this reunion when we didn't

check in, right?

Right.

Who's missing?

I've been in meetings.

Repeat,

you're breaking up.

Oh.

Hold on, we got movement.

Did you see the brush?

Yeah. We're going to investigate.

Something's going on here.

We got a dead body.

We need backup.

Hey, look out.

Stay right there, sir.

Just stay where you are.

Hey, sir?

Code Alpha, Westview Hospital. Repeat, all units, Code Alpha, Westview

Where's Lucy?

Lucy?

I'm here.

I'm over here.

Are you hurt?

Lucy? No.

He said I couldn't hide.

I know.

Officer Chen.

I'm going to have to ask you a few questions, and then we will get you to

hospital, okay?

Did you fire any shots?

No.

Did you use deadly force against anyone else? Is there anyone still outstanding?

We got separated.

Stop. This isn't the conversation, okay? I have to do this by the book.

Because you used deadly force, I'm going to have to take your duty belt and any

other weapons you might have on you and book them into evidence.

I wouldn't speak to anyone until you've spoken to your attorney and your union

rep. Do you understand?

Yeah.

Oh, it's no one at heart.

They're banged up, but they're fine.

Campus is secured. We're code four.

Okay. Now I'm going to put you into an ambulance. We'll get you to the hospital

so you can get checked out before I take you to the station where your clothes

will be bagged and you'll be photographed from front to back.

I know all of this. But you've never been through this before.

You're in shock.

Come on.

Hey, it's going to be okay.

It's all right.

It's going to be okay.

I know, I know. It's late. I'm finishing up now. You're not in trouble. It's

crazy over here, too. There was some kind of riot at Westview earlier.

Harper was involved, but she's okay.

A riot? How could there be a riot at closed?

I don't know. I don't have all the facts that something to do with the cleanup

crew that got poisoned, but that's not why I'm calling.

What could be more pressing than that?

Dispatch alerted me to a call that came in. A caregiver from Hillwood Supportive

Housing called 911 half an hour ago.

Brian Dearborn had an incident.

What kind of incident?

It's not clear.

His room was trashed. There was blood. He might have hurt himself during some

kind of episode, and now he's missing. Angela.

I know. Look, he was doing so well. His testimony was strong.

I mean, the deposition today was the first time that I felt hope since I

what Harper said to Glasser. I know, but try not to panic. We don't know what

happened yet. Look, whatever happened, Malcolm Walsh will use it to undermine

Ryan's testimony on the stand, and I will be back with square one on this

Wesley?

What's wrong?

Wesley. He's here.

Who?

Ryan?

Are you in danger?

I don't know what to do.

That's okay with me.

You don't have to do anything. Wesley, get out of there. Hey, Ryan. Ryan.

You're safe here, Ryan, so why don't you put the broken glass down? No! No!

No! I need every available unit to the DA's office, sixth floor, code three. I

can never stay. Okay.

They're in my head.

I thought they were gone, but they're back.

They're back.

Okay, I can't imagine how you feel, Ryan. The nightmare that you've gone

through, that you're still going through.

I need it to stop.

Okay, I understand. I want to help you. Nobody can help me.

Nobody!

I know you must feel that way right now.

And I know how exhausted you must be.

But you deserve more than this.

You can have more than this.

You are more than this.

But I need you to put that broken glass down and let me help you, please.

Put it down.

Hey, it's okay.

We're okay.

Are

you

okay? Yeah.

Good, because I'm going to kill you. Angela.

You don't try to reason with someone who's in the throes of a psychotic

And when your wife says, get out of there, you get out of there. I'll do

next time.

It's not funny.

I was scared.

Do they know what happened to him? Not fully.

Doctor said that Ryan's pupils are massively dilated, like he did a huge

amphetamines, which would induce psychosis in a healthy patient. For a

schizophrenic, it's like sending a wrecking ball through their brain. It

make sense. He's in a managed care situation at the halfway house. A nurse

administers his meds. And they could have made a mistake?

And gave him speed?

No way.

Wesley, you okay? I came as soon as I heard.

I'm fine.

Thanks. Tragic.

He's doing so well today.

Which wasn't good for your client.

I don't know why that's relevant right now. Sure you do. Angela. All I'm saying

is that Ryan Dearborn's misfortune is Liam Glasser's blessing.

If you're implying I had something to do with this... I'm not implying anything.

I'm putting you on notice. I will find out exactly what happened with Ryan, and

if you had anything to do with it. I didn't.

And I'd advise your wife to be very careful about making wild accusations in

these litigious times.

And I would advise you that the quickest way to end up in one of these beds...

is to disrespect her.

Thanks for coming by.

Of course.

And again, I'm glad you're doing okay, even if your case isn't.

He did this.

Maybe, but he's not wrong. We need ironclad evidence or he will sue us into

poverty. If it exists, I will find it. I have no doubt.

So, what exactly happened at Westview?

Zombies.

Apparently. Oh.

Thank you very much.

Well, I hope you were satisfied with your ride along.

No offense, but I can't exactly give you five stars.

That's fair. You sure you don't want me to call your mom?

It's for the look on her face when I show her this footage.

Listen, what you went through today could haunt you for a bit. I'm happy to

recommend a trauma therapist if you need one. I appreciate that. And hey, thanks

for putting my life in jeopardy and then immediately saving it.

I guess that makes this even.

Totally. I'll check on you tomorrow.

Looking forward to it.

And hey, man, I'm telling you, jawline.

Detective Harper said that I proved myself today.

Really? I did not. I said that he did not embarrass himself.

Ah. But it's almost six months before she told me that.

You, um, heard about Lucy?

Yeah. Lopez said she saw her at the hospital, said she's still pretty out of

She's on her way here. She's going to need her union rep to look out for her.

I'll have her back.

Everyone all right?

In the most basic sense, yes.

Your wife is calling me. I asked her to do a thing. No need to tell her about my

dad. I don't want to worry her. No problem. Go get cleaned up.

She should be here in 20.

Right.

Hey.

What'd you find out? Honestly, I don't know. The office has no occupants

A very unfriendly woman answered the door, which set off my spidey sense. I

couldn't get a name, but I did see a special operations tattoo with the

ego inimicus.

It's Latin for I am the enemy. I made a drawing. I'll send it to you. Great. I

owe you. No, you don't.

I hope things are okay with Luna.

Yeah, thanks.

Okay.

Ellen, I'm sorry. Did you say something?

I did.

But it's okay. We can go over it again later.

Time is doing funny things.

I know.

It did that for me, too.

It'll get better when you get some sleep.

Wait, John.

Do you know his name?

His name was Martin.

He's ready.

Thank you. Yeah.

You ready for bed?

Yeah.

No.

I think I'm just gonna stay up for a little bit.

All right.

Hey, listen.

This man is right.

It's going to be okay.

I know.

I'll be in a bit.

Jim.
