- What does Tim
wanna show us?

- He'll kill me if
I ruin the surprise.

- It's not a waffle truck.

I asked.
- Oh.

- Welcome.

Wanted you guys be
the first to see my new office.

Look, if I'm gonna be
a more "out on the street"

watch commander, I need
to take my office with me.

- Is this the new
interceptor utility vehicle?

- It is, 700 horsepower,
8,000-pound towing capacity,

Level 4 ballistic door panels,
dark mode,

and 270-degree monitoring
to analyze moving objects

for potential threat levels.

- He calls it a Super Shop.

- That's a working title.
- [laughs]

- You see, we got hats
and bats, infrared camera,

breaching tools.

- Oh, yeah.

- Two 32-inch screens.
- Whoo.

- Wow.

Can I be watch commander?

- No, but you are
riding with me today.

- Yes.
- Oh, hey, show them Droney.

- Oh, yeah.
Check this out.

[upbeat music]

[drone whirring]

- [laughs]

Isn't he cute?

- She.
- Really?

- Yeah.
- Oh.

- Super Shop makes
the Batmobile look

like a kiddie toy.

And I can control it all
right here from my phone.

[siren chirps]

See?

[car alarm blaring]

Damn it.
[horn honking]

Whoa, whoa, damn it.

- Playing Tim's Pump Up Jams.

[upbeat pop music]

Stop, stop, stop.

- ♪ And I'm staying home
tonight ♪

♪ I'm telling you now that
we're gonna get down ♪

♪ I'm gonna shake it down ♪

- It's not gonna be
as easy as you think.

- Based on this morning's
demonstration, I'm well aware.

- It's not just that
you're taking

the watch commander duties
on patrol.

You're also exposing yourself
to chain-of-command confusion

when you land at a scene,
even if you stay in the SUV.

- Super Shop.

It's a working name.

Good morning.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- All right, listen up,
we're gonna do things

a little different today.

There'll be two supervisors
out on the street,

Sergeant Chen and myself.

[all groaning]

I know. I know.

No one wants the boss
showing up to their calls,

second-guessing
their every move.

That is not my intention, okay?
Nothing has to change.

I just put wheels on my office.

And while we work
out the details,

Officer Nolan will be
riding with me to help

facilitate the transition.

Any questions?

- Can I pick the playlist?

It's a dumb question.

- All right, second order
of business, Officer Juarez

will be on temporary
duty assignment

with the Detectives Bureau.

Did you choose your focus?

- Yes, Missing Persons.

- Oof.

- Are you sure about that?
- Yeah.

- Your call.

All right, I have some
updates from the night shift.

- Is Missing Persons
really that bad?

- Detective Desmond
has a reputation.

- Like a Harper reputation?

- No, opposite.

- Last day at the DA's office.

Excited?
- I'm relieved.

When the DA had
one foot in retirement,

now that Vivian's DA-elect,
she's gonna have free reign.

- Well, none of that
will matter

once you quit and open
a private practice in Malibu

with a view of the ocean.

- Uh, with that commute,
you'd never see me again.

- Well, in my dream,
I also work in Malibu.

I have a robot
helicopter that flies

the kids to school and a pony.

- Well, sorry to kill
another one of your dreams.

But I already reached out
to my old landlord,

and the only view
from that office

is the Ethiopian place
on the first floor.

- Oh, before you go, make sure
you pass off my cases

to the right prosecutors.

Daniels doesn't touch homicide.

- Give mine to Cosgrove.
He is solid.

- That might be an issue.

Cosgrove just quit.

I gotta go.
- Good luck.

- Wesley,
it's so good to see you.

- Yeah, right.

- I'm serious.
No hard feelings on my end.

- Yeah, because
you destroyed me.

- Well, exactly.

I made good on the promise
I made you when you

threw your hat in the ring.
It's nothing personal.

In fact, I agree with you
on a lot of the issues.

And I know that together,
we can take the DA's office

in a positive direction.

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.

- You're not gonna
fall for that, are you?

- No.

I was about to hand in
my resignation letter.

- Well, she won't accept it.

With Cosgrove,
Garcia, and Martin

already out, she can't
afford to lose anyone else.

- Martin quit?
- Keyed her car on the way out.

- A hero to us all.
- [laughs]

- Come on.

- Hey, sorry about
the election.

That should have been
me facing Vivian.

You were handed
a poison chalice.

- I drank from it willingly.

How's Logan?

- He's good.

He just got another chip.

He's been clean now
almost four months.

- That's great.

What about you?

You gonna do the Rothwell
and Pierce thing?

- No, I'm--

I'm gonna stay here.

And you should too.

- Hmm.

- Come on, Wes, you joined this
place to change the culture

from within,
to ensure that justice,

not punishment, was our
paramount virtue, remember?

- It's a very
inspirational message

that just lost by 23 points.

Look, Vivian ran
on tough on crime.

She's gonna deliver.

- Yeah, which is why the city
needs people like us here

now more than ever.

Look, we still can
make a difference.

- Sean.
- You're here already.

Let's work together,
one last time.

If at the end of the day,
you still wanna quit,

I won't stay in your way.

- This job is where
ambition goes to die.

- Wait, what?

- Missing Persons.

It's not a real department.

It's a halfway house for cases
on the way to real departments.

- That's a lot of reports
for a fake department.

- 90% of these cases
will solve themselves.

Teenager just needed
to blow off steam.

A wife went on a bender,
came home when she sobered up.

Kid fell asleep
playing hide-and-seek.

- I've been on patrol
for three years.

I know most missing persons
reports go nowhere,

but there are people
in this stack

who are victims of real crimes.

- Crimes with their
own departments,

like Trafficking or Homicide.

- Sorry to interrupt.

Homicide wants
the McGrath case.

Fisherman found the body.

Looks like murder.
- Rest in peace.

- Okay, obviously,
you know the job

way better than I do,
but wouldn't hurt

to look through
the case files,

see if there's anyone
we can help?

- Knock yourself out.

- This thing drives
like a dream--

and these seats.

Ten minutes in a regular shop,
my ass is barking.

- Well, don't get used to it.

You're just here while
I work out the kinks.

Once Penn is back
from training,

you're back in the shop,
and I'm on my own.

- I have a 4-15 at
5th and Western.

RP reports two shirtless men
circling each other.

- 7-Adam-100 two blocks away.

Show us responding.

- Are you sure?

Sounds like your basic
alcohol-fueled slugfest.

- Yeah, I have to test
response times on even

the most basic of calls.

[phone rings]

Captain's calling.

Bradford.

- Can you hold?

- Yeah, I'll hold.

[light jazzy music playing]

I'll be right there.
- I got this one.

LAPD. You guys, break it up.

Come on.

- Sorry, he was
called into a meeting.

Can you hold just
a minute longer?

Thanks.
- No, I'm out on--

[siren wailing]

♪ ♪

- Hey.

- [grunts]

- Hey, keep your hands
where I can see them.

Just stay right there.

- Sorry to keep you waiting.
- No problem, sir.

We're getting a
lot of complaints

about vagrants in Stoner Park.

- I've gotta say, renaming it
would be a strong start.

- It's important that people
feel safe in public places.

- Couldn't agree more.

I'll have additional units
in the area starting today.

Okay, is that it?

- One more thing,
I just wanna say,

your tireless commitment
to justice

and the people of this city--

- Thank you, sir.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Good job, sir.

You supervised the hell
out of that.

- You're still here.

- And I think I found
a workable case.

Sadie Bell, 30, was
reported missing last week,

but according to her
best friend, Joe,

Sadie never misses
visitation with her kid

on the first Tuesday
of every month.

- Walk with me.

Reporting party's address?

- 5200 6th Street.

- It's a homeless shelter.

Joe is unhoused,
meaning Sadie's unhoused.

Not the most reliable bunch.

- On the other hand, sir,
unhoused women

are highly vulnerable to
physical and sexual assaults.

- True, and they're also
more likely to be

substance abusers who miss
things like supervised

child visitations.

- Oh, I know.

Well, I think it's
worth investigating.

So what's our first step?

- Why are you so gung ho,
Officer Juarez?

And don't just say
the indefatigability of youth.

- My sister was abducted
when I was a child, sir.

I lived the fear of not knowing
where a loved one is.

- Understandable
and quite noble.

But I would caution you
that the thousand files

in my office are not
an unending stack

of potential happy endings.

For the subset
that are not just

runaways or miscommunications,

the endings are
mostly heartbreaking.

[pensive music]

- I haven't had a chance
to review the reports,

but it's at the top of my list.

Okay, I appreciate
the reminder.

How did Grey make it
look so easy?

- Well, the scowl helped.

Yeah, you don't wanna bother
that face

with anything less than
an absolute emergency.

- My scowl is legendary.

- It was.

But then Lucy moved in.

You know what?

I take it back.
[phone buzzing]

Hey, Dash,
everything all right?

- Hey, so lesson
for the future,

if somebody asks if you wanna
see a dead body, say no.

- Dash, are you standing
over a dead body?

[tense music]

- Yep.

- He's been here
for at least a day.

Won't know how long for sure
until TID gets here

and we turn him over.

- Kenneth Morris.

- K-Dog? For real?

Oh, Kenny's my English teacher.

Was my English teacher.

- Okay, so who found the body?

- Dakota.

We're in fourth
period together.

But I didn't think it was real.

She's always gossiping
about something.

Last week, she told me
she was quitting school

because she landed
some influencer

brand deal with Pop-Tarts.

Turns out it was just
a regional campaign.

- No offense,
it just doesn't seem

like Coastwood is your scene.

- Oh, it's not.

But my mom said I needed
a strong senior year

in order to get into
a good college.

So she landed
an office job here,

and that way, I get
a major break on tuition.

- Dad not in the picture?

- No, he kind of lurks in the
background like the Babadook,

specializing in bad decisions
and hot cougars.

- Right.

So you said Dakota found
the body originally.

- No, Dakota said CJ told her
about it, who heard about it

from Ilya and Autumn,
who might have heard

about it from somebody else.

- So how many teenagers
came out to the woods,

saw a dead body,
and did nothing about it

except tell their friends?

- Unknown.

But I bet they all
took selfies with it.

- Starving.

Can I order Green Juice
or something?

- Your intermittent fast
doesn't end until 1:00.

We can talk after that.

- No one is asking you
to spy on your friends.

No, we have hidden surveillance
set up to capture

candid conversations.
- Tight.

But they're not my friends.
- Oh.

- How's my hair?

- It's fine.

Who are you trying to impress?

- No one.

Autumn.

- She's pretty.

- That's like saying that the
Hanging Gardens of Babylon

were cool instead of a feat
of unparalleled engineering

that redefined elegance and
beauty in the ancient world.

But I'm a little biased.

- Clearly. She nice?

- Hey, Dash, do you wanna
come to my premiere tonight?

- Uh, yeah, totally.
I would love to.

- No, wait.

My publicist said
we already did

our charity work for the year.

So you're out of luck. Sorry.

[laughter]

- What are you premiering?

- The new Laporte film.

It's already
getting Oscar buzz.

- Oh, who do you play
in the movie?

- Young Addict Number Two.

No lines,
but my featured reactions

really carry the film.

Oh, by the way,
I have a hard out at 3:00.

Glam squad's
coming to my house.

- Well, we'll try to
get you out in time

for the full face shellacking.

Do you have a parent
or guardian with you?

- Oh, no thank you.

I was legally emancipated
when I was 13

so I could work
adult hours on set.

I don't need them here.

- Great.
Let's interview you first.

- Please tell me Jack
won't be going there.

- It's not definite,
but Jack's preschool

is the feeder school
for Coastwood.

It would be an easy transition.

- Logistically, maybe,
but emotionally, won't you--

- Die a little? Yes.

But LA elementary schools are
more competitive than Stanford,

and having an easy path
would save

hundreds of hours of stress.

- Yeah, but then he'd be going
to school with kids like these.

- That's where it falls apart.

- And what can you
tell me about Morris?

- Oh, Kenny was
such a sweetie.

Even when I had to miss
a lot of class last year,

he was so chill about it.

- Why did you have
to miss school?

- I was doing this
indie project.

We were supposed to
premiere at Sundance,

but then the director
had all these, like,

"harassment allegations"
or whatever

and got basically blackballed.

And now my career
has to suffer.

- Did Kenneth have
any disagreements

with other teachers, faculty?

- No, I really can't imagine
anyone wanting to hurt Ken-Ken.

He wasn't traditionally
attractive, sure,

but that's no reason
to be murdered, right?

[quirky music]

- Can I vape in here?

I have a note
from my therapist.

- He does.
I have it right here.

- No.

Who first told you about
the body in the woods?

- It was Sushi Tuesday,
so I was pretty laser-focused

on whether I wanted ahi or uni.

I think I ended up
getting both.

- Let's focus here.

Where did you hear
about the body?

- Well, I remember Autumn
mentioning something earlier

in the day when she
was talking to Ilya,

but Ilya said
he had heard it from--

- Zoey.

I guess she originally saw
something about it in a DM

from Linette when she was
going through CJ's phone.

And given what happened on
the school trip last year,

it is super sketchy that
he was DM'ing Linette.

- Back up.

Where do we think
the rumor started?

- Nowhere, everywhere.

- How are we further
from figuring

this out than when we started?

- I called for backup.

- Hi again.

- Thank God, normal teenager.

No offense, it's just
your classmates tend to be--

- Overwhelmed by their
own champagne problems.

I get it.

My dysfunction is a little
bit more proletariat.

- Guess that's
one way to put it.

- Yeah, I don't really
hang out with them

much outside of school.

And that's not just because I
didn't make "Forbes"

20 under 20,
but it's definitely a factor.

- Well, we're not done
with the interviews yet,

but so far,
no one we have talked to

has said they're the one
who started the rumor.

They all claim to have
heard it from someone else.

- Right.

So Reese heard
about it from CJ,

who heard about it from Zoey,
who saw it in a DM from--

- You said that Reese
heard about it from CJ?

- That's what she told us.

- That doesn't make any sense.

They got in a huge fight
last week about, you know,

whether or not sending
nudes to other people

counts as cheating.

They haven't spoken
to each other since.

And word in the halls
is that Zoey

and CJ are the new it couple.

- Oh, my God, yes, I was

totally picking up
on that vibe.

But I saw that Zoey wasn't
following CJ on Instagram,

so I put it from my head.

But when I doubled back
to check,

it looks like she does follow
him, but only with her finsta.

- With her finsta, yeah.

- Okay, this is--
this is actually

all starting to make sense.

- It is?

- So Linette and Emma,
they went to the bathroom

to do a fit check for their
joint Instagram account.

And Linette said that
she hears somebody

crying in one of the stalls.

And she says that
it's Reese because

she recognizes
her leather Tabis.

Travis tells Paul in the
parking lot that he heard about

a dead body from
"some bitch in first period,"

and who does he
have first period with?

Reese.

And Dash heard about
the body from Dakota,

who is Reese's
second-best friend,

but she has been fighting
for that number one spot.

So, I mean, she would do
anything that Reese says.

- So if Reese told Dakota
to lie about where

she heard about the body--

- This is all coming
back to Reese.

- Okay, so is Reese
witness zero?

Or is she the killer?

- Sadie?

Yeah, okay.

You know, the night Sadie went
missing, it was pouring rain,

and the shelter was full.

So I'm thinking she
crawled in here to stay dry

and got trapped.

- Couple months ago,
I found a bunch of guys

living it up
in an access tunnel--

electricity, Wi-Fi,
the whole thing.

They had the right idea.

- But you also have
electricity and Wi-Fi.

- Yeah, but I have
to pay for it.

- You know, one of those gates,
if they locked behind her,

she could be trapped
or too injured to crawl out.

- Yeah, but at this point,
she's probably

dead from dehydration.

Wait, what?

- Sadie, if you can
hear me, make a sound.

- [grunting]

[phone buzzing]

Desmond.
- Where are you?

- I'm inside a service
tunnel looking for Sadie.

- I called the shelter.
She showed up this morning.

- You're kidding.
Well, why didn't they call us?

- They never do.

- So she was fine
this whole time?

- Yeah, it turns out
that her friend

had the visitation day wrong.

But hey, cheer up.

At least you only
wasted your own time.

[quirky music]

- I am so sorry.

♪ ♪

- Oh, hey, Celina.

Hey, I heard about the missing
person who wasn't missing.

- Already? I just got back.

- Smitty was with you.

- Right.

Oh, I'm gonna
owe a lot of favors

after dragging the cavalry
through the sewers.

- Okay, first of all,
do not refer

to any group that includes
Smitty as the cavalry.

And second,
those guys will forgive you.

Or you know, somebody else
will screw up way worse,

and then they'll
be focused on that.

Whoa, I'm kidding.

Hey, one misstep
does not change the fact

that your instincts here
are legendary.

So just take a second
to wallow in this,

but then get cleaned up
and get back out there, yeah?

- Yeah.

- Oh, you're too kind.

Yes, I'm really looking
forward to working

with you as well, Madam Mayor.

Okay, bye.

Sorry, I've been so busy.

Before I make
the big move upstairs,

I wanted to get
our house in order,

a little bit clear the deck.

So we have 27 felony arrests
awaiting prosecution.

We just do not
have the manpower

to take them all to trial.
- Why?

Did you lose some ADAs
or something?

- There's been turnover, yes.

So I've got plea deals
approved for all these cases,

and I need you both to
get them signed ASAP.

- Murder 2?

This guy robbed
a convenience store,

and the clerk
had a heart attack.

That is felony manslaughter
at best.

- The teen who pegged his
principal with a football

is assault with
a deadly weapon?

Did the DA sign off on these?

- I pointed to
the significant mandate

voters handed me,
and he agreed.

- Well, their lawyers are not
going to agree to these terms.

- [laughs] No.

- Make them agree.

- Apple Pruitt.
She lives in my building.

Her mother reported
her missing a month ago

when she didn't return
from Coachella.

- Every year, we get a spike
in reports after Chella.

This one time, this guy
disassociated so hard

he reported himself missing.

- No, but this one's weird.

Apple has a strong
social media presence

but didn't post anything
about what happened this year.

There was a massive dust storm.

They canceled day two
at the Sahara Tent.

I mean, everyone was
posting about it.

- It's not exactly
a smoking gun.

- Okay, listen,
I know how this sounds,

but something is telling me
to investigate.

- I see what's going on.

You said she lives
in your building?

- Mm-hmm.
- Classic move.

You take the case
near your house

so you can investigate it
from your living room.

When the shift ends,
you're just

a few steps from your futon.

- I'm not trying
to go home early.

- That's too bad.

I thought you were
finally catching on.

- There's no obvious connection
between Reese and Mr. Morris.

He did tutor her every week,

but he tutored
a lot of the kids.

- Yeah, and his
Venmo transactions

show that he was
pulling down six figures

on top of his salary.

- Why is "tutoring" in quotes?

And one of the parents
added a winky face emoji?

- Every student who paid
for tutoring got an A.

- The only kid who was
struggling was Dash.

- Yeah, his mom was barely
scraping tuition together.

They couldn't afford
anything extra.

- Okay, so the parents
are paying for grades

so the kids get into
a better college.

But, I mean, why kill him?

- Maybe he couldn't deliver.

If I spent that kind
of money and my kid

didn't get into their
dream school, I'd be pissed.

- Reese, have you decided
what college you're going to?

- Um, I think I may
be taking a gap year.

- From your social
media accounts,

it seems like
you're all about Yale.

- That was kind
of my mom's thing.

- But you did apply.

- Yeah, I applied
to lots of places,

but I didn't get in, so.

- Was your mom upset?

- Yeah, I guess.

- Reese, we know it was you
who started the rumor.

- No, I heard it from CJ.

- We know that's not true.

But you did tell Dakota
and Travis and Linette.

You know what that tells me?

You wanted someone to know.

You wanted the police
to know, but you just

didn't wanna be
the one to call.

- It didn't seem right that
he was just lying out there.

- How did you know
he'd been killed?

[apprehensive music]

- I stayed late on Tuesday.

My mom wanted to talk
to Mr. Morris.

She was so angry about Yale.

She was yelling at him,

and he wanted to talk
somewhere private,

so they went out back
behind the school.

I waited and waited,

and finally, my mom came back.

Just her, not him,

and her hands were--

she wouldn't talk
about it, but I--

I knew she did something.

I didn't want any
of this to happen.

I don't even care
about college.

♪ ♪

- Well, at least I know why
I was failing the class.

- Your mom wasn't
bribing the teacher.

- Yeah, and I never
did any homework.

- Listen, your mom
is stuck at school.

Things are about as hectic
over there as you can imagine.

So your dad's gonna come take
you home.

- [sighs]
- Is that all right?

- Yeah, it's fine.

He shows up every
six to eight months

to remind everybody why
my mom got sole custody.

- I'm telling you,
you cannot lose.

You would be a fool
not to invest.

Hit me up on socials.

I will tell you
more about it, okay?

Hey, there's my guy.

How you doing?

Still haven't had that
growth spurt yet, huh?

- I'm pacing myself.

- Hey, sorry I haven't
been around much.

Been working crazy hours.

But good news, Tiger Bear has
one more investor signed on

with a non-binding
verbal agreement.

- Tiger Bear?
- It's a soup.

It's a breakfast soup.

- Dash, come on, no,
that was the last one.

Tiger Bear Whiskey Tequila's
the whisquila start-up.

It's gonna be huge.

You should get in on
the ground floor, champ.

I'm telling you,
an investment of 10 grand

will triple by the end
of the year guaranteed.

- You do know your son

dead behind

- Damn it.

Sorry, sorry, okay, keep going.

So Dash was working out, and--

- Just take me home.

Will I have to excavate

- He's joking.
I am a model citizen.

Don't say that.
- [mouthing words]

- Dash.

I'm around if you need me.

- Listen, we gotta
stop by my place first.

But we'll make it a bro out.

You know, we'll order some 'za.

We'll watch last week's UFC.

- Have a problem?

- Just the universal
unfairness of the world,

nothing actionable.

- Thanks for coming in.

This is a plea deal.

And before you ask,
it's the best deal

your client's gonna get.

I know, murder 2,
it seems excessive.

I mean, all you did was
rob a convenience store.

It wasn't your fault that
the clerk had a heart attack.

The man had end-stage
heart disease.

Now, a jury could see that
as extenuating circumstances.

- I mean,
if the jury was blind,

maybe they'd see that
as a gang tattoo.

But I don't have to risk
that possibility

if you just say yes
to the plea.

- I mean, who cares there's
