- Sorry, did you say something?

- No, you just--
you were making a face.

Everything all right?

- Yeah, yeah, totally.

It's just, um--well, Rodge
wrote a new song about me.

I mean, he's so talented,
and it's so beautiful,

and it's all...

- A little overwhelming?
- Yeah.

- I wish somebody was
writing love songs about me.

The three of you are so happy,
and my love life

is as cold as a frosted frog.

- You're young, Penn.

There's plenty of time
to find true happiness.

- Yeah, or learn
to love being alone.

- All right, let's focus.

Just got out of a meeting
with the brass,

and everyone
is feeling the pinch.

Recruitment numbers are down.
Retirement numbers are up.

Bottom line,
prepare to work more OT

while the department
manages staffing shortages

and we launch this
new recruitment drive.

[phones buzzing]

- Oh!
- What's going on?

- We won!

We won!

[all cheering]

- Won what?
- The lottery!

Shangri-La has been playing
every week for 12 years.

We're rich, bitch!

Smitty out.

- When did you say
this recruitment drive was?

[upbeat music]

- ♪ I'm gonna win for you ♪

♪ Like I know
you want me to do ♪

- You should call in sick,
hang out with me on my day off.

- That would be a bad look
on my first day back.

- Oh, it'd be fine.

I mean, do you even have
an official job yet?

- No, and I'm trying so hard
to be Zen about that.

My former position was perfect.

It's my own fault for taking
a leave and going to D.C.

- Any idea what Captain
Fossett's gonna give you?

- No, we're talking
first thing this morning.

So what are you gonna do today?

- I'm gonna find out how
many naps is too many naps.

My plan is to do
absolutely nothing.

- Oh, you were gonna fix
the drain in the shower.

- Absolutely nothing except
fix the drain in the shower.

- Okay.

- Though I know
it's not my hair in there.

- What was that?

- I said,
have a good day out there.

- Okay.

[door opens, closes]

- I'm confused.
I just voted for you.

Why are you two going to work?

Shouldn't you be doing
the whole last-minute

campaigning thing?
- Uh, Rita wanted him to.

But we talked about it, and--

- I'm gonna lose. Badly.

- Rita gave us the latest
poll numbers and then quit.

- So rather than waste another
minute on a failed campaign

that neither one of us
enjoyed for a second,

we are "first day of the
rest of our lives-ing" it.

- Okay, well, I can't
complain about having

my bestie back on the job.

- Hey, why don't we
do dinner tonight?

Just the four of us.

- You're not gonna
watch the returns?

- No, there's no point.

- I love you, loser.

- I love you too.

- You would have made
an amazing DA.

- Thanks.

Bye.

- Vivian is gonna fire him
the second she wins, isn't she?

- 100%.
- Yeah.

All right, I'll be right in.

- All right.
- [sighs]

[line trilling]

- What's up?
- Hey.

Um, how would you feel about
having a small gathering

at your house tonight?

- Oh, what's the occasion?

- Wesley tanking the DA race.

- Is that cause
for celebration?

- No, but it is a time
for friends

to get together and support
each other no matter what.

Also, it needs to be a surprise
or else they'll just

try and talk me out of it.
- Got it.

Yeah, sure,
we can have it here.

- Great.
I will start a group chat.

- All right,
do you need me to--

and you hung up.

- Here's what I love--
the clear amount of industry

and effort that you've put in.

- But?

- But it is a little,
you know, narrowly focused.

Join the LAPD, be a badass
hero, protect the innocent.

It's reflective
of your lived experience,

but it's not exactly reflective
of the multitude

that is the LAPD.

- Yeah.

All right, you're in charge
of staffing this up.

- What?
Hold on, no, that's--

I was not trying to--

- Mm.

- Fine.

Penn, Juarez, you're on
a special assignment today.

- What? Penn's still a rookie.
- Exactly.

Who better to give insight
to a recruit than someone

going through training?

- Guys, get started.
The paperwork's inside.

- [sighs]

- Hey, how's it going?
- Good.

Did the brass send
you down here to help me

with the recruitment drive?

- In a consulting capacity,
and only if you need me.

So say you don't need me
so I can go back to work.

Ah!
- Whoa, are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Smitty.
- What?

- You quit.

- No.

I took an unscheduled day off
while I briefly submitted

my retirement papers.

But that's all done now.

- Why? What happened?

- Oh, they say I didn't kick in
for my share of the ticket,

so I don't get my
share of the payout.

But I'm always late
with my tenner.

They know I'm good for it.

- Ah!
- Oh, God, you are not okay.

- Okay, Smitty, make yourself
useful and get the lieutenant

down to Saint Stephen.
- No, no.

I can drive myself.
- No, you can't.

But I can call an ambulance.
- Or your wife?

We can call your wife.
- No, no. Definitely not.

Let's go, Smitty.
[groans]

I do not wanna hear
about your lottery situation.

- No problem.

But I do have a teletherapy
appointment starting in five,

so you might overhear a bit.

[knock at door]

- Good morning.

- Oh, good morning. Come on in.

- Thank you for being
so understanding.

I know I left you in the lurch
when I went to D.C.

- All good.

- So what do you have
in store for me?

- Well, obviously,
your old job is gone.

But we do have a new class
of paramedic recruits,

and I want you to train one.

- You're giving me a rookie?

- I am.

Oakley!

- Yes, sir?
- This is Bailey Nune.

You'll be training with her.

- Pleasure to meet you.

I'm eager to get started.

I've read everything there is
to read on triage medicine,

not just in the U.S.
but as far afield as Mumbai.

They published
a fascinating study

12 days ago
on emergency medicine

in high-density populations.

I'm can send you a link.

Do you read Hindi,
by any chance?

Or do you need
the English translation?

- Good luck.

- Officer in agony here.

- Bed 11.

- Oh, hell no.
I changed my mind.

I'm fine, I'm fine.
[groans]

- Oh, what is going on?

- He woke up with a stabbing
pain in his lower back.

And it hurts when he pees.

- Smitty!
- What?

I could hear you cursing from
outside the station bathroom.

- Oh, God.

- Wait, you're that doctor.

You're the one--oh!
- Smitty!

Get out of here, now.

Back to the station.

- Yes, sir.

Good luck.

- I'm the doctor that what?

- Like you don't know.

- I really don't, but you know
what?

That can wait till we figure
out what is going on with you.

- No, I want
a different doctor.

- I am the only one
who's free right now.

- I'll wait.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

[groans]
- Okay.

- [moans]

- Please tell me
you haven't napped yet,

and that you haven't forgotten
to fix the bathroom drain.

- No, of course not.

I, uh, just called to see
where you were assigned.

- I got a rookie.
- [gasps]

I knew you secretly
wanted to be me.

- I've never trained
anyone before.

It's my first day back,
and this kid is kind of green.

- So are you looking
for some tips?

- Would you come meet us,

give a first-blush eval
and maybe a few pointers?

- Yes, of course,
but it's gonna cost you.

- I should hope so.

I gotta go.

- All right,
looking forward to--

you hung up as well.

- A buttload of hemostatic
gauze, as requested.

How can I help?

- Okay, uh, watch first.

I like things a certain way.

A lot of people put
the first-in bag on the gurney,

but I like it
in the outside compartment.

- That way I can grab the
gurney while you grab the bag.

Smart.
- Mm.

- You know, in early agrarian
societies, they used to--

- Let's just focus on
modern emergency medicine.

- Okay. Yeah, of course.

But I find that understanding
the history of things

can give context
to modern emergency medicine,

and elucidates the reasons
why we do things

the way we do today.

- [chuckles]

- Look, you can spot
the losers a mile away.

Don't waste any time
with anyone

you know won't pass
the physical exam

or the psych eval.
- Got it.

- Have them fill out
a questionnaire,

let them know that we
follow up with a polygraph

and a background check.

That'll knock out at least
a third of the duds.

- Okay, just so I can set
expectations, I mean,

what ratio of good candidates
to losers should we expect?

[upbeat music]

- Does this background check
include Florida?

- So I have been arrested
before, but I wasn't convicted.

Does that count?
- Depends.

What was the charge?

- Befouling the punch bowl
at a company picnic.

[chuckles]

you've made a real effort

that you knowingly

failed to do anything about it,
