(Nolan): Previously
on The Rookie...

I read my sister's case file.

My mom lied to me.

(Aaron): I'm here because
I have to do this,

because what happened to me
was so awful

I need to make sure it doesn't
happen to anyone else.

(Edwin): Celina's mom had
been in a car accident.

Our doctors prescribed opioids.

(Nolan): On the day your sister
was abducted,

your mother was buying drugs.

All these years, I mean,
do you have any idea

how much I blamed myself?

Hey, you were just a kid.
It wasn't your fault.

I know. It was hers.

(suspenseful music)

(yawns)

(Nolan): Oh, don't you
look cozy.

(Bailey): It's my day off,
and I intend to relax.

-You're going to relax?
-Oh, yeah.

(Nolan): Okay, let me translate
that into Bailey.

That means you're going to teach
four capoeira classes,

do a 10-mile hike,
run for mayor?

Excuse me, governor.

Oh. No, I'm doing
absolutely nothing.

-Okay.
-(Bailey): I'm serious.

I'm gonna read trashy magazines

and stream '90s sitcoms
and do nothing.

I give the whole
thing 20 minutes.

(Bailey): I can do anything
I set my mind to. Even nothing.

You go, girl.

Supposed to be beautiful
this weekend.

I was gonna power wash
the outdoor furniture.

Oh, I can do that.

Oh, you're baiting me. Nice try.
I'm doing nothing today.

Sure you are.
Listen, if you change your mind

about the governorship,

I'd be honored to be
your first gentleman.

Governor Nune.

Kinda like it.

(rhythmic theme music)

(Tim yawns)

-Hey.
-Hey.

When did you get in?

Uh... depends. What day is it?

That bad, huh?

Look, I'm-I'm 80%
sure it's Thursday.

It's Tuesday. Yeah.

What were you guys
working on last night?

(Tim): Murder suspect.
We were there all night.

I stayed up anyways.
Thought maybe I'd get lucky

and he'd turn himself in.

Not quite.
He did show up, though.

-(Lucy): Mm.
-Yeah.

-Oh, babe.
-Yeah.

Took on five Metro officers?

You got to love that confidence.

(Tim): Yeah.

Mm. What's all this?

Wha-- I'm studying
for the detective's exam.

-Since when?
-I didn't tell you?

No, I don't think so.

(Lucy): If I'm gonna
work undercover,

the best move is to become
a detective in some division

like Intelligence
or Narcotics, right?

(Tim): Right.
So you got the tap?

Harper and Lopez
are backing me.

All I have to do is score
in the top 12, which--

Which you will.

Mm.

Well, I guess we should
get used to not seeing
each other so much.

Right. Yeah, between
detective's hours
and Metro hours.

Hmm. It's okay.
We'll figure it out.

Yeah. Yeah.

(Celina): Hey, I'm sorry
I haven't been around
as much lately.

I've been busy.

I actually started working
on your case.

(tense music)

Well, I-I-I haven't made
much progress,

unless destroying
my relationship with Mom counts.

Look, I know you'd want me
to forgive her, but I don't...

I don't think I'm ready.

(birds chirping)

Well, I got to get to work.

(Lopez): Where's Celina?

Oh, she's visiting
her sister's grave.

Today's the anniversary
of the day she was taken.

I know. That's what I have
to talk to her about.

I found two similar kidnappings,
one four years after Blanca

and another seven years
after that.

In every case,
the victim was six years old,

taken while playing outside,

and the parent has a history
of substance abuse.

That sounds like
a serial killer.

But why target
the children of drug addicts?

I don't know. And every case
happened on the same day.

Today?

I'll handle it.
Thank you very much.

Is that the sign-up list
for the detective's exam?

It is. Two weeks to go.

-I'll be ready.
-I have no doubt.

Brave move, Chen.

I don't know about that.

I think it's the next
step for me.

Sure, but you'll never
make top 12.

(Lucy): What is that
supposed to mean?

One of the detectives
has it out for you,

so no matter how well
you do on the written,

they're gonna sink you
on the oral.

What? Who?

(slurps)

I don't know. Good luck.

-Is he right?
-Rarely.

But I will ask around,
see if there's any truth to it.

Thanks.

(Celina): He abducted more kids?

(Nolan): Two that we know of.

And on the same day
as your sister.

That's today.
Okay, that's creepy.

So there could be
another one today.

Or not.

Right.

You know, I-I visited
her grave this morning.

And she wasn't there.

I know you think that's crazy.

That aside, why do you
think she wasn't there?

I don't know.

But lately, she's felt so,
like, far away.

And I don't know what's changed.

(dispatch over radio):
7-Adam-15, we have a possible

207 at 9215 Detroit Street.

That's kidnapping.

Possible kidnapping.

7-Adam-15, show us responding.

-I can take the lead on this.
-No, I'm good.

You know, when Blanca was taken,
there were dozens of cops,

and most of them
were terrifying.

But there was one that made me
feel like everything

was going to be okay.

I want to be that person
for someone else.

(Lucy): Maybe it's Caradine.

I called him out for stealing
my lunches from the fridge.

Okay. And you think
he's that petty?

Maybe. I...
(sighs)

Who do you think it is?

I think, and stay
with me on this one...

-Mm-hmm.
-...maybe you shouldn't

believe everything Smitty says,
or anything Smitty says.

But what if he is right?

The oral part of the exam
is so subjective.

If even one person on the panel
has it out for me,

it'll tank my score.

Yeah, I never expected
a police station

to be so much like high school.

I know. Except, you know,

I mean, now I'm one
of the cool kids.

(mid-tempo electronic music)

It's him. It's the same guy.

I... We don't know that.
Most of the time,

they're playing somewhere
and we find them in minutes.

That's not what this is.
I can feel it.

-Did you find her?
-No, ma'am. I'm Off--

We have to find her.
She's six. She's scared.

We know. That's why we're here.
We just need a few details.

What details?
My daughter is missing.

-I said that on the phone.
-Okay. Maybe you can

let us inside.
We can help you look.

She's not inside. I looked.
She was playing outside,

and I heard a scream,
and she was gone.

(ominous music)

-You heard a scream?
-(mother): Yes.

7-Adam-15, I need additional
units on my location.

Notify search and rescue.

What's he doing?
Is he calling someone?

He's calling everyone.
In 10 minutes,

there will be dozens
of police officers

and volunteers looking
for your daughter.

Olivia. Her name's Olivia.

That's a really pretty name.
How about I help you

find a photo of her? Yeah?

(sirens wailing)

(speaking indistinctly)

(Harper): Nolan.

-Here we are.
-(Harper): Any updates?

(Nolan): We turned
the house upside down,
checked the adjacent yards.

-We're widening the search.
-Security cameras?

We got what we can.
A lot of people aren't home.

-It's him, isn't it?
-We don't know that.

Look, we see the parallels,

but you cannot leap
to conclusions.

I mean, it's the anniversary.
She's six years old,

taken from her front yard.

What was that?

(somber music)

I checked.

Olivia's mother has
a history of drug abuse.

Just like my mom. I mean,
just like the other victims.

We're all done.
Just double back

to check if anybody wasn't home.

We'll interview
friends and family.

-Okay.
-Oversee the canvass teams

and widen the perimeter.

Hey. How can we help?

We need to comb through
the other cases,

find any connections
we can between them.

And the other girls
that were taken,

-did any of them survive?
-No. All the girls

were found dead less than
a month after they disappeared.

Except Blanca,
who was found near death.

What was different about her?

Best guess, she was the first.

He didn't know
what he was doing.

(Harper): Well, he does now.

He won't make
that mistake again.

You know your jobs. Get it done.

-Celina.
-Yeah?

Look, I just wanted to say
that I remember

what it was like to not
know what happened
to someone you love.

I mean, there were a bunch
of times I thought we had

a lead and nothing
ever panned out.

So don't get my hopes up.

Yeah, I guess that's
what I'm trying to say.

(police radio chatter)

Yeah. No. Thank you.
I gotta stay objective. Yeah.

(Nolan): Anything south
of Hobart Street.
Take it all the way down.

(indistinct conversations)

Hang on a second.
You got that? Bailey.

Okay.

I know what I said
this morning,

but I heard you need more
bodies for the door-to-door.

-So here I am.
-I wasn't gonna say anything.

I'm just gonna check in
with the civilian team.

(Nolan): Hey,
what's on your hands?

Uh, wood stain.

(Nolan): Okay, so you went
to power wash

the outdoor furniture.

(Bailey): It just looked so bad

after all the rains
that I had to sand it

and refinish it.
I tried to do nothing.

Yeah. I know.
It's important you tried.

-Yeah.
-You're doing great.

(Bailey): Okay.

(Grey): Yeah. I'll call
you back. Alright, bye.

Detective Dave Delgado.

-Sergeant Wade Grey.
-(both laughing)

Man, thanks for coming down.
Have a seat.

Oh, man.

I heard you had a lead
on the Juarez case.

I ran three red lights
getting over here.

Well, I'm hoping
we didn't waste your time.

Eh, if I wasn't here,

I'd be watching Bosch
in my underwear.

-(laughing)
-Never retire.

Look, we know everything
in the case file.

What we need is what's
not in the file.

Well, there was this one guy,

Drew Heslov.

Lived in the area,
didn't have an alibi,

and he's a Megan's Law
290 sex offender.

Not much to build a case around.

Exactly. But I interviewed him.

Real creep. Felt like he was
enjoying the whole thing.

Well, we'll check him out.

I hear the, uh...

the sister's a rookie here.

She is.

She'll make a good
detective one day.

She has great instincts.

Yeah, well, she came by them
the hard way.

Something like that happens
when you're a kid,

changes the way
you see the world.

(somber music)

Yeah.

(children shouting,
playing faintly)

(girl, echoing): Celina,
vamos.

(girl giggles)

(girl): Celina!

Celina.

-Officer Chambers.
-(laughing)

-Hey!
-I thought I might see you

at the cemetery this morning.

Well, I-I must have missed you.

You know, I saw the picture
of your graduation,

but it's a whole other
thing in person.

I'm so proud of you.

Thank you.

There's someone
I want you to meet.

This is my T.O., John Nolan.

This is Officer Joel Chambers.

-Pleasure.
-Nice to meet you.

Yeah. Joel is one of the cops

who helped look for Blanca.

Oh. Joel Chambers.

Thank you, sir.

I don't remember seeing
your name on the report.

We've been going over
the case file.

I-I didn't write a form three.

A case like this,
everyone just pitches in.

Right.

And when we found her,
when she was in the hospital,

Joel visited every day.

(officer): I have something.
It's a shoe print.

Excuse me.

(Joel clears throat)
Can I offer a hand?

Oh, sorry, I can't let
anyone inside without
detective approval.

I promise I know better than
to contaminate a crime scene.

Rules are rules.

Of course. She's a good kid.

(helicopter blades whirring)

(cellphone rings)

Smitty. What's up?

I don't want you to worry about
the detective's exam. I'm on it.

-Wait, what?
-Leave it to Smitty.

-(Lucy): No, Smitty,
please d--

(phone beeps)

(sighs)
He hung up.

So you won't be making
detective.

But, um, there's other
career paths, right?

(Lucy): This the guy
that Delgado mentioned?

Yeah, Drew Heslov.
Back in the aughts,

he did five years for lewd acts
with a minor.

He's been on probation
ever since.

We are less than a mile
from Olivia's house.

-Officers.
-Can we come in?

We both know I can't stop you.

Mm-hmm.

Where were you between
10:00 and 11:00 this morning?

Why? What happened?

Sir, just answer the question.

-I was here.
-Alone?

Yeah.

Move aside.

(sighs)

(ominous music)

That's a gift.

(Lucy): Really? For who?

-One of my nieces.
-You don't have any nieces.

I like dolls.
That's not a crime.

Per the terms of your
probation,

you're not allowed
to own children's toys.

This is harassment.
I think you two should leave.

Sit down. Now.

Do not move.
Do not touch anything,

or you will be in violation
of your probation.

(scoffs)

7-Adam-7, we need additional
units to 7858 West Cedar.

(Nolan): Detectives.
You have a minute?

-What's up?
-Earlier today,

an officer dropped by.
He worked Blanca's case

back in the day.
According to Celina,

he visited constantly.

A little over-involved?

Maybe. And today, he tried

to get inside the crime scene's
inner perimeter.

Maybe these kinds of cases
hit home for him

and he wants to help.

Or maybe he wanted an excuse

for his DNA to be at the scene.

I looked into him.
He had a daughter.

Lost custody of her
when she was six years old.

Same age as the missing girls.

And today was his
daughter's birthday.

(helicopter blades whirring)

(Harper): Look, I know
it's not a slam dunk,

but I think it deserves
a closer look. Nolan is right.

There's something off
about Officer Chambers.

How you want to proceed?

(Lopez): Joel's been on duty
all morning.

We want to check his shop's GPS,

see if he went anywhere
near her house.

He has a history
with Olivia's family.

I can bring him in
under the guise

of needing background intel.

(Grey): Good. The minute
he realizes he's a suspect,

he'll ask for his rep
and shut down.

Lucy and Aaron
have a new suspect.

I'll check in with them
and report back.

Alright. Keep me posted.

(police radio chatter)

Do you see that?

Harper and Lopez are making
secret calls in their car.

They'll update us when they
get something concrete.

-(siren wailing)
-You know what's going on.

If you're keeping something
from me because you think

I'm too close to the case,
please don't.

How well do you know Joel?

We've kept in touch. Why?

Does he ever talk
about his daughter?

The one he lost custody of
when she was six?

No.

(ominous music)

Wait. You don't...

You don't think he did this?

Did you know today
is her birthday?

So you think, what?

He just takes these girls
to replace her?

(Nolan): Maybe. It's a theory.

No, it's a coincidence.

Maybe that's
why he gets involved,

because it reminds him of her.

Okay, I know this is hard
for you to hear--

"Hard to hear"?
He's the reason I'm a cop.

Because of him. So you're wrong
and he didn't do this.

(camera shutters clicking)

-Find anything?
-No sign of Olivia.

He could have built all sorts
of hidden areas over the years.

-We need dogs and infrared.
-Already requested.

(Lopez): Mr. Heslov,
I'm Detective Lopez.

Does the name Olivia Vargas
mean anything to you?

That's what all this is about?

You think I did
something to her?

Answer the question.
Have you ever met Olivia Vargas?

Oh, it's hard to say.
A picture might jog my memory.

Yes or no?

Come on, give me a few details.

We are going to turn this house
inside out.

If we so much as find a hair
that doesn't belong here,

you're going to prison.

Do you need details on that,

or do you remember
what it's like to be a pedophile

behind bars?

(sighs)

(Harper): These cases
are the worst.

Just every parent's nightmare.

You have kids?

Yeah. A daughter.
Losing her would destroy me,

so if you need any help,
I'm here.

(Nolan): He's wearing
different shoes.

-Are you sure?
-I am.

His other ones had a zipper
on the side

so they don't have to be tied.

He saw that we found
a shoe print at the scene.

Probably threw the old ones
in the L.A. River.

I mean, or his old ones
were uncomfortable.

Or Nolan's wrong.

(Grey): Celina, I'm aware
of the history,

but if you can't examine
the facts objectively--

Sorry. I'm-I'm good.

Joel was called to Olivia's
house several times

before the abduction.
He was also called

to the second and third
victims' homes.

We got to know if Blanca
fits the same pattern.

Bring Karla in.
Let's see what she remembers.

There's no record of an arrest

or any sort of calls
made to our house.

Only your mom knows for sure.

We'll find out.

(Grey): According to the logs,
Joel was at a premise check

at a warehouse at the time
of the abduction.

GPS on the shop says
that he was there 30 minutes.

How far is the warehouse
from Olivia's house?

Far enough he would
have to drive.

Maybe he had
a car stashed there.

Look, I can go to the location,
drive the route from Olivia's

and back. See if it even works.

-Keep me updated.
-(Tim): Yeah.

So, according to the file,

you answered a 4-15
at Olivia's house.

That's right.
It was about a month ago.
Neighbor called it in.

Olivia's mom
was kicking out her...

most recent deadbeat boyfriend.

Yeah, we are actually
looking into him.

And did you see Olivia?

Yes. She was, uh,
hiding in a corner.

Pretty badly shaken.
She begged me not
to take her mom away.

-And you didn't.
-No signs of abuse.

There wasn't much I could do
but refer them

to Child Protective Services.

You ask me, we're far too
lenient with parents.

You're getting no argument
from me there.

CPS is overwhelmed.
Even when there's abuse,

the parents get them back
half the time.

It is maddening. I
mean, so many deserving parents

out there just struggling
through the adoption process.

Exactly.

You also participated
in the search

for Celina's sister.
Is that right?

It is. Why? You don't think
the two cases are related?

Well, it's just
an avenue we're exploring.

(breathes shakily)

(door opens)

(Karla): Oh.

I really need to get
home. My birds are--

(Celina): I know, okay,
but this is important.

We'll get you home
just as soon as we can.

We just need to know
if you remember meeting

an Officer Joel Chambers.

Oh, of course.
He was very helpful.

He-He still checks
in on me years later.

When did you first meet him?

(soft music)

(sighs)
It was such a long time ago.

Mami, I need you
to tell me everything.

No matter how upsetting.

There were so many
police officers around.

Okay, so you met him after
Blanca was taken?

-I guess so.
-Mami!

Celina.

(exhales softly)

Look...

I get it.

I-I used to think
you wouldn't leave the house

because you didn't have answers.

Because everyone you crossed
on the street

could be her killer.
But I understand now.

You left once,
and the world ended.

So you never left again.

Guilt is what's kept you
locked away.

And the only way out
is to tell the truth.

Okay.

About a month before
Blanca got taken...

Officer Chambers found me
passed out in my car.

I was high. I had drugs on me.

I begged him not to arrest me.

I told him I had to get home
to you and your sister.

And he drove me home.

Did he talk to your
daughters at all?

(sniffles)

He waited in his car,

and I went and brought
them outside.

He watched us play.

Then he drove away.

I'll let Harper know.

Wait.

(ominous music)

You don't think he took her?

We're not sure yet.

I was so grateful he didn't
arrest me. I never thought...

(Karla breathing shakily)

Is that the reason
he took Blanca?

Because of me?

(Karla breathing heavily)

(cellphone chimes)

Uh, just one more thing.

We talked to Celina's mom,
Karla.

She says you picked her up
before the kidnapping.

You could have arrested her,
and you didn't.

Really?

Yeah. You said you didn't
meet them

until after Celina's
sister went missing.

Oh.

Uh, I guess I forgot.

-Oh.
-You meet so many people

-in our line of work.
-(chuckles)

Do you remember everyone
that you picked up

-when you were on patrol?
-Oh, God, not a chance.

I have two kids, so I can
barely remember breakfast.

Uh, give me a minute, will you?

Of course. Hey, am I free to go?

It'll just be a second.

(door opens)

(Aaron): Detective Lopez,
found something.

(ominous music)

What is it?

According to Tim,
Joel had plenty of time

to drive from the premise
check to Olivia's house.

Just because he could have,
doesn't mean he did.

(Harper): I saw his face
when I caught him in the lie.

-He was terrified.
-Well, do you think

you could get more
if keep questioning him?

No. He asked
if he was free to go.

He knows he's a suspect.

He's forcing you
to show your hand.

(cellphone rings)

Angela, you're on speakerphone
with Wesley and Nyla.

(Lopez over speaker): We found
something at Drew's house.

It's Olivia's teddy bear.

Drew's our guy. He took her.

(indistinct chatter)

(muffled sounds)

(camera shutter clicking)

(girl, echoing): Celina.

(Nolan, faintly):
Starting with your left hand,

put your fingerprints
on the scanner.

(girl): Celina.

-(Nolan): Celina.
-Yes?

Lopez wants him
in interview three.

Yes. Right.

(buzzer, door opens)

So this means
Joel's innocent, right?

We don't know anything for sure.

(police radio chatter)

-Hey.
-(Grey): Hey.

You sure it's Olivia's
teddy bear?

Lab's working
on a DNA match now,

and Olivia's mom ID'd
it as hers.

So where does that leave us
in the Joel theory?

I still like Joel. He has been
overly involved in both cases.

And he lied to us about
his prior contact
with Celina's mother.

Yeah, but any good
defense attorney will argue

that his only crime
is caring too much.

Both abductions happened
on his daughter's birthday.

-Coincidence?
-Well, that's why he got

so involved. He saw his daughter
in these two girls.

It's shaky, but you only need
one jury member to buy that.

(Lopez): The teddy bear,
on the other hand,

Drew's lawyer will have
a hell of a time
explaining that away.

You found it in his backyard.
Anyone could have gained access.

L-Look, if you are Joel,

you know that they found
a boot print.

The first thing you do
is throw those boots away.

The second thing you do is throw
suspicion on someone else.

He knew Drew was a suspect
back in the day.

The perfect patsy.
I can sell that.

Okay, we're a long way
from a jury.

There's a missing girl
out there. She's our priority.

Now, can you press Joel,
get a confession?

No. He knows I'm on to him.
We could arrest.

But that starts a clock.

We have 72 hours
to bring charges.

(sighing)
And we're not ready for that.

Then we let him go.
Keep working Drew.

On it.

(police radio chatter)

So, I wanted you to be
the first to know.

-We got him.
-Really?

I don't know if you remember
the guy from Blanca's case,

Drew Heslov?

Yeah. He, uh,
had a prior conviction.

Yeah, that's the guy.

They found Olivia's
teddy bear in his yard.

Did you bring him in?

Uh, yeah, he's in
processing right now.

-Huh.
-So, thank you...

-Oh.
-... for all of your help.

Of course. Of course.
Listen, it's time for me
to clock out,

but if you need anything else,
you got my cell.

-Yeah.
-Okay.

(suspenseful music)

(HarpeR): We need
a surveillance team.

That's six cops not out there
looking for Olivia.

I told him that we found
Olivia's teddy bear,

but he did not ask about Olivia.
He doesn't need to.

He knows exactly where she is.
I am telling you, it is Joel.

We can't let him out
of our sight.

Let's alert Metro.

(suspenseful music continues)

Point walking to his personal
vehicle. Silver pickup truck.

California plates.
2-George-Adam-Tom-1-2-3.

(truck engine revs)

(car engine starts)

(Smith over radio):
North compass point has him.

Westbound Wilshire,
number two lane approaching
a stale green.

(Wheatley): Two for cover.

(Tim): Wheatley, Bradford.
(Wheatley): Go for Wheatley.

I can confirm we have
all six units on this.

Four compass points, two rovers.

(Wheatley): Affirm, boss.

Alright, good.
Everyone keep radios low,

cover coats on, and be ready
for Crazy Ivans.

He may do a counter.
We cannot let him get away.

Can you ID this item?

Aww! It's a teddy bear.

Was it hers? That Olivia kid
you were asking about?

Yes.

Oh, she must be young.

Eight years old?

Younger?

Have you ever seen
this item before?

No.

Then how do you explain
its presence in your backyard?

-What?
-How did Olivia's favorite toy

come into your possession?

It didn't.
I don't know. You're lying.

I'm not lying.
We found it in your backyard.

No!
(sighs deeply)

Look... I know what I am.

I know what I've done.
But I swear,

I've never laid
eyes on that kid.

(somber music)

(Wheatley over radio):
Bradford, this is Wheatley.

Target has landed
in the parking lot

of a home-improvement store.

I'm pulling into the other
entrance of the parking lot.

Alright, Bradford copies.
All units, compass up.

Stand by for roll call in three.

(Wheatley): Target is making
contact with another subject.

Male, white,
blue jacket, black pants.

-(camera shutter clicking)
-(Wheatley): Target is handing

the subject his gym bag.

Subject number two is walking
away with the gym bag.

(Tim): All units,
stay with primary.

(Smith): Confirm you don't
want anyone going

with that secondary?

(Tim): No, no, he knows
he's under surveillance.

He's trying to split the team.

(Smith): Secondary is
approaching a black Charger.

-(camera shutter clicks)
-(engine starts)

(Smith): He'll be away
in five, four, three, two...

Miller, Jones, Clark,
go with secondary.

Wheatley, Smith, and I
will stay with primary.

And get me six additional
units A.S.A.P.

(Wheatley): Copy that.
Secondary units,

work off encrypted channel 18.

(suspenseful music)

Bradford on point.

(motorcycle engine revving)

(Tim): Primary is approaching
a motorcyclist.

They're talking.

Alright, primary is taking
the motorcycle.

(Smith): I have eyes on primary.

(engine starts)

(tires screech)

(suspenseful music continues)

(Tim): Wheatley, Bradford.

What's the ETA on those
additional units?

(Wheatley): ETA, nine minutes.

(Tim): Copy that.
We have a fresh green.

Looks like
he's picking up speed.

(motorcycle engine revs)

(Wheatley): He knows we're
here. I just hit the lights.

(siren wailing)

("Psychic Tombs"
by The Lungs)

(Tim):Control, can I get an
airship assist to Metro?

Pico and Washington.

(pilot): Copy.
Air-5 is closest.

She's en route.
ETA, three minutes.

(Smith): Speed's
approaching 100.

(Wheatley): Sarge,
I can stay with him.

(Smith): He's now 120.

Getting on the 405 North.

(Wheatley): On the shoulder.

Negative. Shut it down.

(Wheatley): Sarge,
he took a kid.

(Smith): Speed's 130.

Negative. Shut it down.

It's not worth plowing
into some innocent family.

(Wheatley): Copy that.
Shutting down.

(Smith): Primary is gone.

Damn it.
(sighs)

-You let him get away?
-Celina.

-Excuse me?
-Joel has her. I mean,

he's probably on his way
to kill her right now.

(Grey): We're all aware of
the situation, Officer Juarez.

Okay, then why weren't
there more units?

-I mean, how could this happen?
-My apologies, Sergeants.

Officer Juarez, Joel is a cop.

He knew our techniques,
and he used them against us.

There's nothing Metro
could have done.

He is gone.

The only question now is where.

(soft, dramatic music )

Where could he be?

Better.

Listen up.

Our suspect is a cop.

He's been meticulous
and smart every step of the way.

We need to be smarter.

No one pulls something
like this off

without leaving a trail.

Find it. Let's go.

(conversing indistinctly)

(door opens, closes)

(footsteps approach)

(Celina): Uh, sorry.
I just needed a minute.

Oh, of course.

You know, I never knew
my father.

When I was little,
I used to wish Joel...

What do I tell Olivia's mom?

I mean, she's so scared.
She's counting on us
to find her.

-And we will.
-What if we're too late?

What if we have to tell her
that Olivia's gone

-and it's our fault that we--
-Okay.

Maybe you need to take
a little break.

I can't. I-I can't do anything
else until we find her.

(Lucy): Sarge.

Looks like they've
got something.

(soft, dramatic music)

We've been combing
through Joel's unit history,

every name, address,
license plate he logged

while on duty over
the last three months.

Yeah, six weeks ago,
he cleared a pair of squatters

out of a foreclosed home.

It's a low-income area,
mostly industrial,

but you could easily get in
and out without anyone noticing.

-That's a slim lead.
-Yeah, except,

it's less than a mile away
from Olivia's house,

and he cleared it three days
after he first met the family.

He was getting
everything in place.

Okay, well, that's it.
Olivia's there.

(soft, dramatic music )

Oh, boy.

(lock rattles)

(soft eerie music)

(engine shuts off)

All inbound units,
Metro unit on scene.

Vehicle registered to our
suspect is parked out front.

No sign of our 207 victim.

(Metro cop): Second team
is 9-7.

We're in the alley
behind target on Sheldon.

Alright, we need eyes inside.
Let's get a ball cam ready.

-What's the play?
-We need to get a better

look inside, see how much
firepower's in there.

-(squeaks)
-Ball cam's live.

(soft eerie music)

(Tim): Okay. I can see him.
He can see us.

-What about Olivia?
-No sign of her.

So we breach, right?
I mean, we have to find her.

No, if she's alive, that's
a sure way to change that.

We need to get him talking.
Her best chance

is if we can end this
without firing a shot.

You give me some cover,
I'll get a phone to Joel.

-(radio beeps)
-Phone drop.

Get ready to approach.

(distant helicopter
blades whirring)

(Nolan): Joel,

we're just gonna throw
a phone on the other side

of the door, alright?

All we want to do is talk.

Settle this before
anyone gets hurt.

(door creaks)

That confirms suspect
has a 9-millimeter

in his right hand.
No other weapons are visible.

Wait, what's that?
Turn it around.

(Aaron): She's out cold.
Probably drugged.

(camera whirrs)

(gunshot)

-What was that?
-He shot the camera.

-(cellphone rings)
-This is Sergeant Bradford.

Did you think I wouldn't notice
your little eye rolling around?

You know I had to take a look.

(Tim on phone):
Assess the situation.

Who's that?

-Is that Olivia?
-No more cameras,

-and get your guys back.
-(Tim): I can do that for you,

but I need you to do
something for me.

I need to make sure
Olivia is okay.

She's fine. I'm protecting her.

Okay, that's great.
But it would help
if we could see her.

No! Not a chance.

I show my face,
you're gonna blow it off.

-(cellphone beeps)
-He thinks he's protecting her.

That's gotta be
a good thing, right?

He thought he was protecting
Blanca, too.

(Lucy): He's probably justifying
the murders.

Death being better than
the life they were living.

(Aaron): Yeah, but if he's
not willing to talk,

then we need to go in.

(cellphone beeps, ringing tone)

-(cellphone rings)
-Here.

I am done talking.

It's me. It's Celina.

Joel.

Yeah?

I'm outside.

Listen, I-I know that
you don't understand.

-Her parents didn't deserve her.
-I know.

You did it to keep her safe.
Just like the others.

Just like... like Blanca.

I think they remind you
of your daughter.

I just want to be
a father again.

(Joel): Why don't
they understand?

They just keep crying
and begging to go back home.

(breathes shakily)
I gave them a better life

than they ever had!
And they want to go back
to some loser drug addict?!

Tell him what he wants to hear.

You're right.

They needed you.
They... They needed a father.

(Celina): Someone to...

to guide them, to...

to keep them safe.

But Olivia is not
safe right now, is she?

Not with all these
guns outside.

We need to get her
out of that house.

We're not leaving.

I don't trust anyone out there.

Okay, well, then,
what about me?

How about I-I come get Olivia?

Joel, it's over.
You need to know that.

End it by doing
what you wanted to do.

End it by protecting her.

(cellphone beeps)

Do you think
he's gonna let her go?

-I don't know.
-Alright, we're in position.

Soon as she's clear, we breach.

(distant helicopter
blades whirring)

(door creaks)

-(Aaron): Celina!
-(Nolan): Celina, hey!

(indistinct shouting)

(officer 1): Look alive.
Move, move. Go. Clear.

(breathing heavily)

Breach!

(officer 2): Go, go, go.

(officer 3): Clear. Clear!

(officer 2): Clear in here!

(officer over radio): Clear!

Clear!

(officer 4): We're good!

Here. Are you okay?
Are you hurt?

(officer 3): Clear!

(officer 4): Clear!

(officer 2): Clear!

(dramatic music )

Drop the gun.

Drop the gun!

-(Tim): Drop it!
-(gunshot)

(Tim over radio):
Suspect down. Send an R.A.

(sighs)

(Lucy): Hey, Harper.

Um,

Tim is still in with IA.

Look, the officer-involved
shooting interview

is very thorough. Tim's fine.

-Alright.
-Hey, Chen.

I've got news for you.

It's not a great time,
Smitty. I--

It's about the detective exam.

The detective
blocking you is Primm.

He heard about your little
scheme to help Bradford

and was less than impressed.

(sighs)
The five-player trade.

(Smitty): Turns out treating
people like puppets

wasn't the best way
to make friends.

Thank you, Smitty.

I did warn you.

I know.

(Harper): Hey, let him
talk to Grey first.

(Lucy): Yeah.

Hey, come in.

All done with IA?

Uh, yeah.

I'm sure you'll be cleared
to return to work in no time.

I hope so.

Hey.

You know you had
to take the shot.

I know.

Just 'cause he wanted
to die, doesn't mean
he wasn't dangerous.

I know.

(sighs)

I mean, is there
anything I can do?

(inhales deeply)

Can I get back
to you on that?

(sighs)

Take your time.

(soft music)

(Celina): You know,
it's her first time visiting
Blanca's grave.

I honestly never thought
she'd make it here.

How was she on the drive over?

Shaky. She didn't say a word.

She's still not here.

Blanca.

And I think I know why.

She moved on. She knows
I don't need her anymore.

You want to go join your mom?

Uh...

I brought him into our lives.

No. He preyed on your illness.
You can't blame yourself.

But I do.
(sniffles)

And I blame myself for all
the days and weeks

leading up to it.

I was barely there.

Short-tempered...
(sniffles)

Sleeping all the time.

(breathes shakily)

They-They were the last days
of her life.

And I wasted them.

You were addicted.
It's not your fault.

Ohh...

Mama, I know you can't
forgive yourself, but...

(Karla sobs)

I want you to know that...

I forgive you.

(soft, dramatic music )

(crying)

Ah. Oh, baby.

(sobs)
I forgive you.

(Karla): I'm sorry.

Jack is asleep,

and according to my watch,

I paced up and down our hallway

for a total of 12 miles.

(sighs)

I thought that was impressive.

What's this?

A mommy blogger posted
top 10 ways

to prevent your kid
from getting taken.

You know the vast majority
of missing kids are taken by a--

A non-custodial parent. I know.

This was a hard case.

(soft uplifting music)

Celina's mom...

I don't know
how you survive that.

If you're worried
about Jack's safety,

we could always
have Charlie come back.

Charlie?

Oh, the smoking-hot
ex-SAS bodyguard?

Look, I'm not saying
I want that.

Just thinking
about your peace of mind.

-Mm. How selfless.
-(laughs)

You are a badass.
And I'm no slouch.

Jack and the new baby
are gonna be safe.

Okay?

(chuckles lightly)

Yeah.

(baby crying)

I'll get him.

"AirTag your kids"?

(scoffs)
No.

Mm... no.

How are you doing
with everything?

I'll be okay.

You know,
maybe you should try--

Exercise before going to bed.

Yeah, I know. It's not
the first time I've--

No, I-I know it isn't.
I know that. I just...

I-I want to be helpful.

I know. Thank you.

You need help studying?

Look, there's no way
I would have scored as well

on the sergeant's exam
without you.

That's true. Uh, you owe me.

-I don't owe you.
-You owe me.

Okay.

We saved a kid,

solved a cold case,

and helped our friend
find closure.

(Bailey): There's still
technically three hours

left of my day off.

Ooh, there are.

I can finally rest.

Oh, I'm sorry, I can't let
you get any rest tonight.

-I have plans for you.
-Oh. Really?

Yeah. Yeah. So settle in

for a nice, long night of...

catching up on "The Bachelor."

Oh...

Oh, there's gonna
be limo arrivals...

-Hmm.
-...and rose ceremonies

and, sadly, lots of crying.

For every dream realized,
a hope will be dashed.

Honey?

Baby?

If you don't want me
to watch ahead without you,

just say so.

-I love you, too.
-(television clicks)

(up-tempo dramatic music)
