- Previously on
"The Rookie"...

- Isabel.
I've been trying to find you.

Are you okay?
- I'm fine.

- That was my wife.

- You were a nurse?
- No, a cop.

Narcotics.

- Hi, it's Skip Tracer Randy.

I'm a bounty hunter now.

- Promise you'll call me
if you get into any trouble.

- Of course.

- Weird guy.
- Mm-hmm.

- Bailey?

Ooh.

Are you okay?

- Why is alcohol?

- You and Libby really
tore it up, didn't you?

I didn't even hear you
come in last night.

- I'm officially too old
to do shots.

- How many did you do?

- Which bar?
- Yikes.

Well, maybe
you should think about

not trying to relive
your college days.

- It is all Libby wants to do.

She says it makes the other
360 days of diaper changing

more tolerable.

Like tonight, she wants to go

to some underground party

where a van picks you up
on a street corner

and blindfolds you.

- Yeah, that's not a party.

That's a--that's a kidnapping.

Just tell her
you don't want to go.

- I can't.
- Why not?

Dude.

Last night was so much fun.

Oh, thanks again
for letting me crash here.

But don't tell Roger
if he calls.

I'm using the hotel allowance

to upgrade our festivities.

Why are you down there?
- Oh.

I'm, um--I'm just posing

for this photography project
that I'm working on.

It's like--it's like
the disconnect

between beauty and, um...

- Aging.

Not aging.

Consumerism.

- Fun.

Well, I'm gonna go for a run.
Do you wanna come?

- Yeah, of course.

Just let me put my clothes on.
I'll be right there.

There are other rooms

you were sleeping in today.

No classes.
- I was,

but then I was pulled
out of my slumber

by the smell of pancakes.

- Yeah? You want some?

One or two?
- Uh, three, please.

Three.

No, wait. Um, shoot.

Totally forgot.

Um...

Isabel, uh, texted me.

She's in town
and needed to talk,

so I--I just told her
to come here.

I hope that's okay.

Oh, yeah, um...

Of course.
- Hey, I'm sorry.

I meant to tell you after
you got out of the shower,

but you know,
I got in the shower, and--

- Stop.

- Oh, please, stop.

I'll get it.

- Sorry.
- It's okay.

- Hi. You must be Isabel.

I'm Tamara.
- Hey.

- Hey.

Look at you. You look great.

- Oh, thanks.

Amazing what a few years
of sobriety does for the skin.

It's nice to see you again,
Lucy.

Thanks for letting me
crash your breakfast.

- No, no, not at all.

Um, can I get you something?

- Wouldn't say no
to some coffee.

- Okay.

- Come over here.

- When did you get in?
- A few hours ago.

- Is that theIsabel?

The ex-wife, Isabel?

- Stop. You're so loud.

Yes.

- Tim invited her here?

That's weird, right?

- No.
I mean, it's totally fine.

It's...

It's a little weird.

- I'm going to do
a little digging.

- No.
- Yes, I am.

- Tamara, seriously, don't.

- So is everything okay?

- Oh, yeah, I'm fine,

but I need your help.

I worked a UC assignment
eight years ago,

before I fell from grace,

infiltrating the Teska family.

- Oh, I know all about 'em.

Yeah, they're big time
in Sylmar.

Guns, drugs, prostitution.

- Yeah, back in the day,
they were up-and-comers,

but they had big ambitions.

The boss was Frank.

He had a 10-year-old daughter,
Dara.

Great kid. Super bright.

- I'm sure you took her
under your wing.

- Yeah. I mean, someone had to.

He was a single dad.

Barely paid any attention
to her.

I was part of the crew,

so I was at the house
all the time,

and we became close...

in that weird way you do

when you're pretending
to be someone else.

But after we arrested her dad,

I scattered, you know,

left that identity behind,
and went on to the next case.

I hadn't heard from her
in eight years.

- Until now.

- Yeah,
I had a answering service

through the department
as a firewall

between that life
and my real one.

Last night, they forwarded me
a message from Dara.

- Nikki, it's Dara.

I know it's been forever.

I don't even know
if you still check this,

but I'm scared,

and I didn't know who to call.

Sorry. This was dumb.
I shouldn't have--

I have to go.

- I called her back
a few hours later.

No answer.

Ran a quick social media check.

Reached out to her friends.

No one's seen her.

- And you can't go
knocking on doors

in the old neighborhood
'cause you're out of cover.

- Exactly.

- No, why don't you
come down to the station?

I'll get a warrant
for her phone.

We'll find her.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Well, that's where
that lives now.

- I got it.

- Show-off.

- You can start maternity leave
at any time.

Too many open cases.

I'll take my leave
in a couple weeks.

- All right.

Are you sure you're okay?

- I have to pee
every five minutes,

there's a stabbing pain
in both my hips,

and I barely sleep,

but I am glowing, right?

- Radiant.

Thorsen.

You're assigned
to Detective Lopez

as her personal aide
until further notice.

- Yes, sir. Thank you.

- Don't thank me yet, son.

- Officer Thorsen,
at your service.

What you need?

- Honestly?

Antacids. Like, a lot.

I bought this on my way in
to work this morning.

- You know, I don't think

you're supposed to take
that many.

Antacids it is.

Need anything else
while I'm out?

- No.

Uh, yes.

canned meat's gonna help
with your indigestion.

No.

"Welcome back"?

Were you on vacation?

- No, I was on leave

I just got cleared.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

Well, mostly.

Lucy thinks
I should start meditating.

I know, right?

- The famous Isabel.

- Yeah.

You ever work with her?

- No, but I knew of her,

first as a rock star UC,
then as a cautionary tale.

Why is she back?

- Uh, and old case.

- You okay with that?

- Why wouldn't I be?

It's not a big deal.

I mean, he--he's over her.

- Totally. I--stop it.

- Yeah--what deep dive?

- The one we talked about.

I'm pretty sure she's single,

deserves an exception,

it is Juarez.

- Side note--got something.

Bailey has a friend from
college visiting us right now.

- Oh, let me guess.

They are partying
like it's 1999.

- I have never seen Bailey
so hungover.

- I have a friend like that.

She texts me every Friday night
at midnight

to ask me what I am up to

as if I do not have
babies at home.

All right, so when does
Princess Bad News leave?

Tomorrow, which is good.

I don't think Bailey's liver
can take another day.

Oh.

- Do not answer that. Oh, you--

- Randy, is this another
butt dial?

- Nyla Harper, you jokester.

I would never dial you
with my buttocks.

No, I actually have a teensie,

Hypothetically,
when is trespassing a crime?

- Always.

- But what if you're trying
to help somebody?

- Randy, I don't know how
to make this any clearer.

Do not trespass.

- Okie-dokies.

Danke schoen, my wisest friend.

- What was that about?

- I hope to never find out.

- Thanks for coming in.

I'm Sergeant Bradford.

We got a call this morning
about your niece Dara.

- Ugh,
Ed always gave me the creeps.

He used to talk
directly to my chest.

- What did you do?
- Nothing.

I was trying to get a foothold.

I needed him to like me.

- Said she seemed to be
in a bit of distress last night

and hasn't been able
to get in touch with her since.

- I haven't seen her
since yesterday morning.

She's 18; she comes and goes
as she pleases.

What friend was this?

- I've got her name
written down over at my desk.

Um, listen.

What I'm trying
to figure out here--

can you think of any place

that Dara might like
to hang out?

A boyfriend's house?

- Not that I know of.

You sure this isn't just
an excuse to jam me up,

business I'm in?

- No, sir. No.

This is purely a welfare check
on your niece.

You know, her dad gets
out of prison tomorrow.

What's his relationship like
with her?

Any strife
about him coming home?

- Nah, nah.
We're excited to have him back.

Gonna throw a party.

- That's great.

You did bring up your business.

I mean, is there any chance

that could be connected
to her disappearance?

- Look, you--

you keep saying "disappeared."

- Deal.

Dieter's all yours.

- It's Randy.

Dieter was my uncle.

He is not
a very good detective.

What's up, guys?
What's the haps?

- Randy, we need you
to tell us everything

about why you were in
this house.

- Don't answer that.

- What are you doing here?

- Representing my client.

- Monica is your lawyer?

How do you two
even know each other?

- He's helped me track down
a few...

hard to locate witnesses.

- Oh, yeah,
that guy was hard to find,

but no one hides

from the fingers
of Skip Tracer Randy.

- Look,
we're just treating Randy

as a witness in this case,

not as a suspect.

We just want him to tell us
what he knows.

- That's fine,
as long as I'm present.

- My freedom's been restored.

What should I do with
this second chance at life?

Eat a ghost pepper?

Oh, declare my secret love

Okay, so what's next?

- Right. Okay.

So a bar is a place
where people--

- I'm giving him back
to Scanlon.

- Hold on.

Randy, I know linear thinking
is difficult,

but try.

- Emily Johnson.

She'd read online about my fame
as a skip tracer bounty hunter

and asked to meet me.

- At a bar.
- Exactly. Yeah.

She told me she was being
stalked by a man

named Nelson Friske,

and would I scare
the bejesus out of him?

I don't know who is
this "BeJesus,"

but is he, like,
from the sequel?

- Uh, yes.

Okay, so you showed up
at Nelson Friske's house,

and he was already dead?

- Oh, as a dormouse.

- Who exactly is Nelson Friske?

- A 43-year-old day trader

with a prolific side hobby
of being an internet troll.

- Oh, so potentially
dozens of suspects.

- Yes, which is why
we need to find

this Emily Johnson.

Do you have a phone number
for her?

- Yeah, I can send to you.
- Great.

- Now you go home.
- But why?

I want to be with you guys,
my partners.

- Sorry, Randy, you're just
too close to this one.

So I think, legally,
it's best for you

just to sit at home and wait
for us to unravel this mystery.

- He's right. Go home.
Stay out of trouble.

Of course,

because trouble
is not my middle name.

It's actually Randy.
Randy Randy.

Yeah. If anyone cares.

- So how long
you been dating Lucy?

- A few months.
- Mm.

- Are you seeing anyone?

- I was, and then I wasn't.

And then I wa--
you know the drill.

They were nice.

It just--
you set the bar really high.

- Here we go.

Frank Teska.

I'm Sergeant Tim Bradford.

I'm in charge
of locating your daughter.

She's missing.
- What do you mean, missing?

You talk to my brother, Ed?
- I did.

He said he hasn't seen her
since yesterday.

Has she been in contact
with you at all?

Not recently.

I get a card at Christmas.

Not for Father's Day, though.

Can't say I blame her.

- Can you think of anywhere
she might go

when she's upset?

- I don't know.

I mean, who'd go after Dara?

She's never hurt anyone.

- Yeah, I mean, you've made
a lot of powerful enemies.

Is there any chance

someone's trying
to get to you through her?

- No one would dare.

- Okay.
Well, if you think of anything.

- She's a good kid.

She deserves better than...

Find her.

- Yeah, we're doing
everything we can.

- Yeah. Thanks.

- How long
till he makes the call?

Sergeant, I have the tap

on that call
from the prison to Ed Teska.

- Patch it through.

- Where the hell's
my daughter?

Police are telling me
she's missing.

- Relax.

She's a teenager.
She'll turn up.

- When I'm out of here
tomorrow,

you and I are gonna
have to have a talk.

I'm hearing things,
and I'm not happy.

- Stop listening
to the rumors.

People are trying
to come between us.

Don't let 'em.

- Find my kid.

- Well, maybe
Ed's telling the truth.

Maybe he doesn't know
where Dara is.

- Maybe, but he is
a professional liar.

He once had Frank convinced
someone greenlit a hit on him.

Had him running
from his shadow.

The motel.

- What?

- When Frank thought
he'd been greenlit,

he told me to take Dara
somewhere safe

while he dealt with it.

We stayed at a motel
by the beach.

Maybe she's there.

- Okay.

- So the number Randy gave us
for Emily was a fake.

- Well, then I'm guessing
her name was fake too.

- Well, if she is
one of Nelson's victims,

a fake name would make sense.

She wouldn't want us
to track her

through her online
communications.

- But then why involve Randy?

- To create reasonable doubt?

I mean, it wouldn't even
have to be a good frame job

in order for it to work.

All her lawyer would have to do

is point to the 6'4" German man
found at the crime scene

covered in the victim's blood.

Oh, speaking of.

- Huh.

- Tell me you are at home.

- Are you familiar with
the Britney Spears classic

"Oops!...I Did It Again"?

Uh, I have to go.

I'll see you
back at the station.

- Let me see your hands!

- Again.

Hey, friends.

- Randy, you're making it
very difficult

for us to not prosecute you.

- I was just trying to help
you guys find the real killer.

- If you find a lead,
just text us.

- The good news is, we know
that fake Emily's real name

is Ariel Riser.

- Uniforms found
$5,000 in cash

in her bedroom,
along with a note

that had your phone number
on it.

- Mm, so someone paid her
to frame my client

and then killed her
to cover their tracks?

- Yes, that is
what it looks like.

But the question is, why Randy?

Was he just a patsy,

or does our killer hold
a grudge against him too?

- Why would anyone have
a grudge

against Skip Tracer Randy?

Everybody loves me.
- Right.

But pretending they don't,

why don't you give us a list
of all your bounties

and skip traces
from the past five years?

- Hopefully, one of the names
on that list

will match one
of Nelson's victims,

and we will have our killer.

- Great,
and I will start looking

at Nelson's social media.

- No, you will not.

You will get us that list,

and then you will go home.

- Randy, as your lawyer,
I'm begging you to stay there.

- God, you are no funs.

You are zero with the funs.

You're like a monkey
allergic to bananas.

- Please remind me
why we had to drive

all the way to this
specific coffee cart

instead of the one
five minutes from my bed.

- Because they have
a liquor license,

and it...

Hi.

- Oh, hang on.

Please tell me we did not come
all the way here

so you could meet up
with some guy.

- What?
We've been chatting online,

and he asked if we could meet.

- Is that why you came to LA?

- No!

Oh, come on, Bails, please.

I need this.

- What about your husband?
- Ugh, whatever.

Roger's in love
with his physical therapist.

Okay, fine.
- Yes.

- But I'm staying here
with you.

I'm not having you get murdered

by some random man
you met on the internet.

You are the best.

Grab us some margaritas?

- Dara and I stayed here
for a week.

We ate junk food,
swam in the ocean,

danced on the bed.

I know it doesn't sound
like much,

but when you're spending
every second of the day

on high alert, waiting
for it all to go sideways,

it--it feels good
just to breathe.

- I get it...

'cause I held my breath

every time you left
on a long-term assignment.

And then you'd come home,
and...

- And I'd still be gone
in my head,

no matter how much
I wanted to be there with you.

- Anyway, um, so is that escape

why you think
Dara will come here?

I don't know.

I could be projecting.

It just--she was scared.

She--she called me
for a reason.

Maybe it's 'cause
this is where she felt safe.

- Okay, well,
if she does come here,

you're gonna need backup,
all right?

You're not a cop anymore--

no gun, no badge--

so Lucy's on her way here.

- I can't believe, after
everything I put you through,

you're dating another UC.

- I know.

But Lucy's different.

- She isn't a junky in waiting?

- You know
that is not what I meant.

- I know, I just--

seeing you again brings it all
back up, you know?

- I do.

- I still have not
been able to find

a connection between Friske
and Randy.

What about you?

- Uh, no, but I did make a list

of all the people
that Friske was trolling

who seem most likely
to kill him.

- Who's at the top?

- Brian Cole.

He is an accountant
from Glendale.

Friske hacked Cole's
dead wife's ClipTalk account

to send him taunting messages.

- That's sick.
- Yeah.

But he has an airtight alibi.

Next on the list are

a chef in Venice
whose restaurant closed

after Friske posted
a wave of fake reviews

and a gym owner in Hollywood
who lost his wife

after Friske leaked DMs
he'd sent to a female employee.

- Mm.
- Hey, Nolan.

You're fiancée's here.

- Oh, great. Uh, reception?
- Holding.

Just got brought in
for being drunk in public.

- Mm.

- Excuse me.

- Uh, hey, why haven't you
arrested Randy yet?

He's been found
at two murder scenes.

- Okay, I know from the outside
it doesn't make any sense--

- To the DA, it looks like

you took Scanlon's case
to help out a friend.

- Tell the DA
to come say that to my face.

- Look, I know that's not
what's happening here,

but if you don't make some
headway on a new suspect soon,

the DA's talking about
going over your head.

- All right.
Thanks for the heads up.

- Of course. Where's Angela?

- Uh, lunch.

Again.

Again.

Thank you.

Hey.

Hey.
- What happened?

- Libby took me on her date

with a guy she met
on the internet.

He turned out to be a creep.

She started throwing fists

and ran away
when the cops showed up.

- Okay, I'm starting to think
that maybe

Libby isn't the greatest friend
to have around.

I know.

I'm just so tired,

and I just really want
to go home and sleep.

- I'm so sorry. Um...

Randy, this really isn't
a good time.

- John, I found the killer!

I'm in the trunk of his car
right now!

- Randy combed through
Friske's troll accounts

and came to the same conclusion
I did.

Brian Cole is a prime suspect.

- Except for the fact that
Cole has an airtight alibi.

- Exactly,
but Randy didn't know that.

So he went to Brian's house
to "gather evidence,"

and...

Hid in the trunk of Brian's car

when Brian came out
to take out the trash,

and now he's stuck in there.

- Kay.

Is that the car?
- That's him.

- Okay, we gotta get him
out of there on the DL.

Otherwise,
the DA is gonna flip out,

have the case reassigned,
and throw the book at Randy.

- I might have an idea.
