00:01Last day of training.
00:03Last day of Tim barking orders.
00:05Last day that they can fire us at a moment's notice.
00:07Last day of them recording every flaw for posterity.
00:10It's kind of bittersweet.
00:12Nope, just sweet. Sorry, sorry.
00:15Guys, stop apologizing.
00:17You guys have finally made it, and I'll be right behind you.
00:20Look, the extra month will fly by. You know it.
00:22Now, is Tim gonna do anything special
00:24to memorialize your last shift together?
00:27Not knowingly.
00:28You know, when you move on from an important relationship,
00:31there are steps you should take
00:32to ensure a healthy parting.
00:35We are going to work through every single one of them.
00:38Uh, how if he doesn't know you're doing it?
00:40Trickery!
00:41Bye.
00:42That's...yeah.
00:44Who are you gonna arrive with today?
00:46No idea.
00:47Gray's busy, and Smit is getting a back tattoo.
00:49Yes.
00:50Yeah, don't ask.
00:51So we are out of TOs,
00:52and I'm guessing finishing my rookie year at the front desk.
00:55Boo!
00:58Where's our gear?
00:59Wait.
01:00What?
01:01We started this journey together.
01:03I think we should end it that way.
01:04Don't you?
01:05Yeah.
01:07Then let's go.
01:08I thought we were tight.
01:14You did?
01:15Uh, we are.
01:16That's...I mean, why?
01:17What?
01:18You told your ethics, professor, she should come for a ride along?
01:21No.
01:22We know.
01:23We didn't even, uh, discuss it.
01:24But I-I need to pass this class, so it's super important she doesn't get shot today.
01:29No promises.
01:30You ride with me, you ride the roller coaster.
01:32Okay, Nyla, I know-
01:33Hi!
01:34Good morning!
01:35Good morning.
01:36Uh, Professor Ryan, this is Detective Nyla Harper, my training officer.
01:39I'm told you're gonna be going on a ride along with us today.
01:41I hope that's okay.
01:42I didn't want to put you in an awkward position by asking you,
01:45but your watch commander said that you'd feel cheated if I didn't ride with you, so...
01:48And he was right!
01:50Uh, shall we?
01:52Mm.
01:53So, you, uh, sign all the paperwork that says that we are not liable if you are maimed
01:58or killed?
01:59I did.
02:00It seemed a bit excessive.
02:01No, it's not.
02:02I mean, we will try our best to protect you, but we cannot guarantee your safety.
02:07You will be exposed to all the same dangers that we are.
02:10Well, more farmers die yearly than cops do.
02:13I didn't have to sign a liability waiver to go apple picking.
02:16That's because you weren't picking them out of a wood chipper.
02:19Uh, hey, have you ever seen a body camera up close?
02:22No.
02:23Well, they're always running.
02:24Uh, until we actually need them, we switch them on, then they start recording,
02:28and they go back two minutes so we can catch any of that last-minute action.
02:31Oh.
02:32Yet they're always broken whenever the cops cross the line.
02:35You'd be surprised how many police officers actually want a body cam.
02:39Oh.
02:40That way, it makes it easier to disprove complaints.
02:42Okay, then you will not mind if I record the ride along myself as a research tool.
02:48No problem.
02:49Hmm.
02:50Just as long as you turn it off when we hit the strip club for the lunch buffet.
02:55She's kidding.
02:56That buffet is terrible at that strip club.
03:01Ready to go?
03:03You got yours on?
03:04Yeah.
03:05It's our last shift together.
03:06It's crazy, huh?
03:07Not really.
03:08Come on.
03:09You've been riding shoulder to shoulder for over a year now.
03:24Soon there'll be a new rookie sitting in that seat annoying the crap out of me for 12 hours a day.
03:28So you're not going to miss riding with me?
03:29Not all?
03:30It's a job, not happy hour.
03:31Hmm.
03:32Denial.
03:33Check.
03:34What?
03:35Nothing.
03:36So, you teach full time?
03:37No.
03:38Just nights and weekends.
03:39My day job is civil rights litigation.
03:41And then there's lecturing, the writing, the cable news hits.
03:43When do you sleep?
03:44Sleep?
03:45What's that?
03:46Oh, is that what you were doing in my class on Monday?
03:47What?
03:48No.
03:49No.
03:50No.
03:51Just nights and weekends.
03:52My day job is civil rights litigation.
03:54And then there's lecturing, the writing, the cable news hits.
03:57When do you sleep?
03:58Sleep.
03:59What's that?
04:00Oh, is that what you were doing in my class on Monday?
04:02What?
04:03No, sometimes I just hold a blink for a really long time.
04:06Are you sure lying to your teacher is the way to go here?
04:09Actually, now that I hear it out loud, I'd like to revise my answer.
04:10Actually, now that I hear it out loud, I'd like to revise my answer.
04:12Yeah.
04:13So, given how busy you are, why take the time for a ride-along?
04:18I'm finishing up a book on the future of policing.
04:21What would you say is the biggest challenge you face day-to-day?
04:26Finding a safe bathroom.
04:29That is true.
04:30I mean, we can't use a stall bathroom for safety reasons.
04:32The door has to go floor to ceiling.
04:34And the location of the bathroom is also very important,
04:36so that not a lot of people can see us entering and leaving.
04:387-N-M-15, residential burglary alarm, 1330 Monrovia.
04:44A hundred bucks, it's an accidental trigger.
04:46That is a hard pass.
04:48She's kidding.
04:49No way we'd blow off a service call.
04:52Copy.
04:53Respond.
04:55Do you see yourself as my mentor?
04:58No.
04:59I'm your T.O.
05:00It's my job to make sure you're not dangerously incompetent
05:02when you hit the streets without supervision tomorrow.
05:05You know, when I was a rookie, I couldn't wait to get off probation.
05:07Oh, I am excited.
05:09Believe me.
05:11But I also know the importance of acknowledging your loss
05:14when going through something like this.
05:16Acknowledging your loss?
05:18Mm-hmm.
05:19What is this, some intro-to-psych closure BS?
05:22It's not BS.
05:23It's a widely used psychological model
05:25to help people cope with the end of a relationship.
05:28Relationship?
05:29Partnership.
05:30Mentorship.
05:31Whatever you want to call it.
05:32Look, I don't want to call it anything.
05:34It's not like you won't see me tomorrow at the station.
05:36You know, what's there to talk about?
05:38A lot.
05:39I have a list.
05:41A list?
05:45You know, littering is a $250 fine.
05:48Worth it.
05:50What are you smiling about?
05:51Well, we were at denial,
05:55but now we've moved to anger.
05:58It's progress.
06:06Gives me out of the office.
06:08I mean, not just for today.
06:09I mean, you could have bounced me from the program
06:11after that first day.
06:13Tell you my career.
06:15You sell for a sandwich when you're Felipe's.
06:18I mean, you just had breakfast.
06:19You questioning your pregnancy?
06:21No, ma'am.
06:22No, ma'am.
06:23What?
06:23I mean, I'm going to be a mom.
06:27And?
06:29I don't know.
06:30I mean, a lot's happened since we started out together.
06:34I knew my T.O. would be important in my career,
06:36but I don't know.
06:38I didn't realize how important it would be in my life.
06:42Lay off the sappy stuff.
06:43I'm nauseous enough as it is.
06:48Have you read my word?
06:49I have.
06:51I actually follow you on social media.
06:53Oh.
06:54And?
06:55I'd make a lot of the reforms you're pushing for.
06:58But some just aren't based in reality.
07:00Well, maybe not your reality.
07:03Look, either you want my opinion or you don't.
07:05If you are just here to confirm your own point of view,
07:07then I will stop engaging.
07:09No, no, no.
07:09That's not what I'm looking for.
07:10I'm just used to cops taking my head off
07:12any time I suggest changing a status quo.
07:14Well, you would be surprised how many cops
07:16actually know the system has to change,
07:18but just feel powerless to make it happen.
07:23Homeowner set off the alarm accidentally.
07:25A hundred bucks.
07:26Just put it on my tab.
07:27So, you two getting along, huh?
07:29My two teachers?
07:30Yeah.
07:31We're bonding by making fun of you.
07:33Oh, outstanding.
07:34Let me get in on that.
07:35Have you noticed how much I've been saying like lately?
07:40Child abduction.
07:41Suspect is driving a gold Tacoma truck.
07:43Plate number 2 Queen Robert Ida 445.
07:46The victim was kidnapped from...
07:48City of Angels Hospital.
07:50How old?
07:51Uh, five hours.
07:58Here we go.
08:03Air 3 is lifting now.
08:05I'm 10-9-7.
08:06Searching for the suspect vehicle.
08:07A newborn baby girl went missing 20 minutes ago.
08:12The hospital is going over the surveillance footage.
08:14Wait, don't all babies get lojacked these days?
08:16Yeah, it was found in the elevator and cut off.
08:18Who owns the Tacoma?
08:20Uh, that would be the father, Jared Young.
08:22It's like they're going through a messy divorce.
08:24He was visiting the hospital earlier that day,
08:27but security had him leave.
08:28There may have been some kind of threat.
08:29So, he went back in and he just took the baby?
08:31Jared's got quite an extensive criminal history here.
08:33A lot of narcos, uh, narco possession,
08:35possession of cell.
08:36Under the influence?
08:37Mm, just the guy you want taking care of your newborn.
08:39Well, we got the whole city looking for him.
08:40We won't get far.
08:41So, this baby that the, uh,
08:43whole city's mobilized to find,
08:45is she by any chance white?
08:48We issue plenty of Amber Alerts
08:50for children of color as well.
08:52Do you have a kid?
08:54Daughter.
08:55And, uh, you're sure your daughter
08:57would get the same attention as his son?
08:59From the media?
09:00No.
09:01But out here, we, we look just as hard.
09:05Mrs. Young, this is Detective Lopez.
09:07I'm out here searching for your baby.
09:09You have to find her.
09:10Yes, ma'am.
09:10We're doing everything we can,
09:11but I need your help.
09:12Is there any place your husband might take her?
09:14He lives in Bell Gardens.
09:16Yes, ma'am.
09:17We have officers on the way to his apartment now,
09:19but if he's not there, where would he be?
09:21He's out buying drugs if he has any money.
09:25And if he's not?
09:26Jared will do anything to get a fix,
09:28including selling our baby.
09:34I'll pick up two blocks up.
09:40Negative. Texas plates.
09:44Five hours old.
09:45That poor mother must be going out of her mind.
09:49Let me guess.
09:50You think if the parents had properly worked
09:52through their separation,
09:53this whole thing could have been avoided?
09:54No.
09:55Mom needs to get as far away from him as possible.
09:58But I do think that having easier access
10:00to counseling and mental health resources
10:02could prevent situations like this.
10:04Sure, but most guys still wouldn't go.
10:06Yeah, because we stigmatize mental health,
10:07treated as less important than physical health.
10:10It's ridiculous that they teach sex ed in schools,
10:12but not how to be in a relationship.
10:14I wish someone taught me how to be in this one.
10:16Oh, so we are in a relationship.
10:18So what's the focus of your book?
10:22Reinventing policing with a more limited mandate.
10:26Amen to that.
10:27You agree with taking resources away from police?
10:29If it lessens our low, then yes, absolutely.
10:32Yeah, we complain about it all the time.
10:34Police have become the catch-all for the city's problems.
10:36We're expected to be cops,
10:38psychologists, social workers, teachers, mediators.
10:43And they only train us for one of those jobs.
10:45Gold truck, two cars ahead.
10:47That's it.
10:49Control 7, Adam 15,
10:50we have eyes on the Amber Alert suspect vehicle
10:53heading west on Pico, passing West Lake.
10:557, Adam 19, inbound on Olympic, passing Ardmore.
10:587, Adam 7, coming west from Wilshire and Rimpal,
11:01moving to intercept from the front.
11:02Air 3, responding, heading west from Bell Gardens.
11:04ETA to your location, approximately six minutes.
11:07Can you parallel suspect until I get eyes on?
11:09Affirmative.
11:10Parallel?
11:10Yeah, we follow on side streets and alleyways.
11:15Oh, so he doesn't spot you and run.
11:17Exactly.
11:17Last thing we want is him speeding through traffic
11:19with a baby in the car,
11:20especially since there's no wait.
11:21He's got an infant car seat in there.
11:22We'll just wait until we have enough units,
11:24and then we'll box him in.
11:25Intersection ahead.
11:26We still have him?
11:27Yeah, you better have a car length ahead,
11:28but he's speeding up.
11:29He might have seen us before we made our turn.
11:337, Adam 19, Maxwell and Pico,
11:35west of Target, waiting for him to pass.
11:37The suspect just went past speed 50 miles an hour.
11:43We'll move to parallel on the north.
11:44Copy that.
11:45Why don't you set up a roadblock?
11:46Roadblocks are considered a lethal measure.
11:48Didn't know that.
11:49There's a strong chance a desperate driver
11:51will ram a roadblock.
11:52Clear.
11:53We only use them unless we have no other choice.
11:55Watch out, watch out.
11:57I can't see around the truck.
11:59Move it, move.
12:00I got it after this car.
12:05You see him?
12:06No.
12:07Well, maybe he turned around and we got stuck.
12:10You said an M-19, we've lost visual.
12:12You got eyes on him?
12:13Negative.
12:13We haven't reacquired visual.
12:15Where the hell is that airship?
12:17Air 3 is overhead, arriving on scene.
12:19Watch the suspect's 20.
12:21We lost visual.
12:22Pico east of Maxwell.
12:23It's possible he turned off
12:24and headed either north or south.
12:25Copy that.
12:26We're going to orbit.
12:26We're going to orbit.
12:26We're going to orbit.
12:28Contact.
12:33Suspect vehicle now heading north on Livingston.
12:35Repeat, north on Livingston.
12:37Copy on our way.
12:39Speed is approximately 65.
12:40Looks like he's heading for the freeway.
12:47Hold on.
12:48Suspect has sideswiped another vehicle.
12:50He's lost control.
12:53Tell me that wasn't our guy.
12:54He just T-C'd into a telephone pole.
12:56Can you see inside the truck?
12:58No negative.
13:11No negative.
13:12Help!
13:12Police!
13:15Show me your hands!
13:17Where's your daughter?
13:18What?
13:19Keep your hands where we can see them.
13:21No kid.
13:27There's no kid in here.
13:27There's no kid.
13:28Your baby.
13:29Where is he?
13:29At the hospital with her mom.
13:31Then why did you run?
13:32Got him drugs.
13:36If he doesn't have the baby, who does?
13:38I never thought I'd be disappointed if meth head wasn't taking care of a newborn.
13:48I guess there's still plenty of time for the mess of this kid's childhood once we get her back.
13:53If we get her back.
13:54You know, whenever you need Halloween costumes for Lopez Jr., my mom has dozens in storage.
14:03I'm talking cop uniforms for every age.
14:05You never really wanted to be anything else?
14:09Astronaut?
14:10Ninja?
14:11Ninja astronaut?
14:12I think that would be cool.
14:14But no, I guess I just wanted to be my dad.
14:19It was like my way of feeling close to him when he wasn't around.
14:22Is that a lot?
14:23Yeah.
14:24I mean, he was a detective when I was born.
14:27Trying to make a name for himself.
14:29A lot of long hours.
14:31But you were close?
14:32Yeah, eventually.
14:34Mom was kind of on her own until I was 12.
14:37And that's when he moved up.
14:38We got more stable hours.
14:39i mean i always loved him don't get me wrong even when he wasn't around i have a lot of great
14:48memories you know of course you know you and wesley are going to be awesome parents i know
14:55it's just we both get so wrapped up in our cases we barely make time to have dinner together
15:02how are we supposed to make time for a kid wesley is loaded you get yourself a nanny
15:08or three so a stranger can raise my child i mean there won't be a stranger when you get to know
15:13him you know look you are not the first detective to have to balance work with the kid talk to harper
15:20about how she did it harper can you send three to a backup channel sure go to 11 don't record this
15:29i need you to give me the reels on something
15:35how difficult was it to go back to work after lila was born
15:38honestly i barely remember i almost died giving birth so
15:43but uh that's that's not gonna happen to you giving birth can be a wonderful experience
15:50i've been told definitely get the epidural
15:54don't worry i'm not a lunatic
15:56i'm thinking of scheduling a c but i'm worried that the stitches and everything will keep me
16:01off work even longer i worried about the same thing but you know what i got stitches anyway just
16:06not in my stomach okay change is back to channel one well i i think i want to hear this
16:13tell me the truth am i gonna put myself and i'm out wow i wish i could say no why can't we just do that
16:23twilight sleep thing they did back in the 50s i asked apparently it is grossly unethical detectives are
16:31you done yes sir
16:38we must seem callous joking while a kid is missing no i get it i'm sure it's hard to work these kinds of
16:44cases because evolving kids are the worst you can't help but think what if they were mine yeah i don't
16:50have kids but i feel the same way every time another black kid gets shot by police
16:59well hospital sent the video of the kid you can't see your face
17:06that is just terrifying a stranger snatching your baby when you're not there to protect them don't
17:11worry i will personally stand to watch over your kid until you leave the hospital you better do they
17:17have an id on the kidnapper not yet listen to me we're gonna find her all right and that baby's
17:24gonna be fine we'll see
17:32i don't have time for this every minute we waste waiting for an id on this woman is a minute she
17:36could be hurting this kid or worse look you need to get your head right in case this goes bad i'm
17:41squared away the fact that you just said that means you're not look you've been lucky on the job so
17:48far no all right sorry i came out wrong you've been through hell stuff that would have broken a lot
17:57of veteran cops but a dead kid is different dead kid changes you forever
18:03i really hope our last shift together doesn't end with that yeah me too
18:15okay so what's next on your list
18:21okay surround yourself with people who support value and energize you which you may have to wait until
18:29later then reflect on the lessons learned both the good and the bad and express gratitude
18:38okay so what have i taught you that you're grateful for um
18:46not to second guess myself yeah early on one look from you could send me into a tailspin
18:53plane close day but i've learned to trust my instincts even if they go against what you would
19:00do which will be crucial for undercover work are you serious about being a uc yeah
19:09why do you not think i'm tough enough no it's not about being tough i mean look you're as tough as
19:14they come it's just you're sensitive you are look what happened with tomorrow you gave her your car for
19:24crying out loud and today today this whole need to relive the last year talk about our feelings i happen
19:32to think that caring about people connecting with them is what makes me a good cop it does just not a good
19:39you see look to work undercover you have to be able to lie to someone's face make them believe
19:45you're their best friend and then stab them in the back i just don't think you have that killer instinct
19:54ouch i'm sorry but it's better you hear it now
19:58you're right and i appreciate your honesty you always tell me the truth no matter how painful it's gonna
20:14be and you deserve the same from me
20:21i've been struggling with being honest with you all day been hiding behind this stupid
20:28closure checklist trying to get up the courage to tell you something okay what
20:44i have feelings for you
20:50uh we've been through a lot this year i mean you saved my life
20:55and i didn't want to say anything before because i didn't want to put you in a weird position
21:02but now i mean i think
21:06i think the reason why you're so protective of me and and why you don't want me to be an undercover cop
21:12is because
21:16because you have feelings for me too
21:17lucy no listen i know it's complicated you're my to you're responsible for me i know that you would
21:29never cross that line but starting tomorrow i guess you're not and i
21:40uh
21:44first of all i i would just like
21:50thank you uh you're
21:56i'm flattered i am
21:59you're a great girl woman woman and i
22:12crap
22:14listen
22:15are you kidding me
22:23are you kidding me
22:24wait i'm sorry are you sorry wait just wait lie to your face check make you think i've fallen for
22:32you double check oh and stab you in the back when you think we're best friends triple check look
22:39me in the face and tell me you don't think i have the killer instinct to do undercover work look me in my face
22:55it's weird now isn't it nope i was just making a point and you're undermining it by feeling guilty
23:19you are out of your mind you want to try the camden experiment in los angeles i'm sorry what's
23:23the camden experiment uh fire all police officers make them reapply for their jobs oh just that
23:30well you're both good cops you'll be back on the force in no time but running new background
23:35checks on every single officer most especially combing through their social media posts that'll
23:39get rid of most of the problem we'd be coming back to a gutted force i mean you would be down
23:4410 percent maybe 20 but you would be coming back to a better force and what about the kid that
23:51goes missing the day we're all fired i mean it wouldn't happen overnight it happened gradually
23:56in stages but without major action things will never get better 7am 15 we have a possible suspect
24:05id on amber alert last name's the same first name rita suspect's husband called 911 make contact to take
24:12his statement address is being sent to your box copy that we got it on our way
24:19yeah if uh if she reaches out um please please please please call me okay yeah no i gotta go
24:31mr sussain i'm detective harper this is officer nolan i understand that your wife rita was here with the
24:37the baby yeah i don't i don't know where she is i i tried calling everyone that i know i tried to
24:44stop her from leaving but she was holding that baby it's just so little i know they can look so
24:50fragile at that age uh tell us about your wife is there anything that could have precipitated this
24:54you don't know we lost our daughter casey this morning to sid's rita went into the nursery to check
25:04on her and then i heard screaming so i ran in and she was so still so cold i'm so sorry sir how old was
25:16she two months that's why your wife was at the hospital today yeah we we raised casey to the emergency
25:23room hoping that they could do something but it was it was too late and then there was so many uh
25:30questions and and forms and it took me a while to realize that um that rita had left she wasn't answering
25:37herself so i thought maybe she came home but she wasn't here and then she just showed up like nothing
25:43had happened and she was just holding this little baby and calling her casey and saying that everything
25:50had been a big mistake okay uh we're gonna have to initiate child death protocol treat the police
25:56like a crime scene notify homicide the district attorney and cps wait we didn't kill our daughter
26:02it was it was it was since yes sir i understand i'm not saying that we believe that you harmed your
26:08child but we do have protocols we have to follow yes sir it's a hard fact is what most people consider
26:13her to be sidz is actually accidental suffocation it was off bedding or a toy uh right now we have
26:21to focus on your wife is there anywhere you think she might have gone i don't know i've reached out
26:25to everyone i can think of but she's not really herself right right now has she been depressed lately
26:31yeah i mean she hasn't been eating or sleeping the doctor said she had um ppd but rita refused any help
26:38has she been drinking a lot any drugs or medication no the doctor prescribed antidepressants but rita
26:44wouldn't take him i'm just so scared thank you sir okay thank you please don't hurt her she's not
26:50herself right now you have to promise me that you won't hurt her please
26:54i'm just so scared i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry
27:07updated amber alert new suspect vehicle is a green ford fiesta license plate three paul charles ida
27:14026 suspect is rita cizane 31 year old white female who lost her baby to sidz
27:24this case is all the nightmares in my closet combined i know i'm sorry how am i ever going
27:29to let my kid out of my sight with all the things we see on the job the things i know about people
27:34look the things we see are outliers look every day we show up on people's worst day
27:40we see the exception not the rule i know that up here but look whether the kid is with you or wesley
27:48or a nanny they'll be fine okay she's so different from the way i grew up wesley was raised by a nanny
27:56but when my mom went to work she put me in the back room and the other women would check in on me
28:03can't exactly drop off lopez jr and holding every morning i don't know smitty is surprisingly maternal
28:09that is the most horrifying idea i've ever heard and i want it to be a reality show so bad
28:16watch the hell out of that rita is negative on any previous 5150 holds and there are no registered
28:22firearms in her name if this woman's doctor couldn't get twitter how will you i mean this woman is in
28:27crisis she needs a psychiatrist yeah but the baby needs a cop the honest truth is we don't have enough
28:32information to know what we're dealing with but that's every call it's a constant struggle to figure
28:37things out before it's too late uh 7 out of 19 go to channel 9. go for 7 out of 19. did you study
28:47postpartum depression in your psych major yeah ppd is fairly common affects one in eight new moms in
28:53most cases they feel tired alone guilty some feel a lack of attachment and then guilt for not feeling
28:59attached some are overwhelmed by paranoia visions of horrible things happening to their own child
29:07i see rita turned down treatment that tells me she's probably dealing with shame trying to cope
29:13alone isolating now add to that the trauma of finding her child unresponsive that could precipitate a
29:19mental break if it's an extreme case of ppd which is rare she could be thinking about harming herself or
29:25a baby tim green fiesta play to match that's our car nolan we found rita's car 21000 block of manningham
29:31on our way
29:38control 7 adam 19 we've located the fiesta from the revised amber alert 21000 block manningham no sign of
29:45suspect or child
29:49it's still hot she must have just ditched it hey you looking for the driver yeah you see where she
29:54went nah i was walking by when she parked on the curb how long ago about five minutes enough time
29:59for butching out of circle block did she have a baby with her no idea i just watched her totally
30:04demolish that parking spot reminded me of my ex-wife uh yes sir please call us if you remember
30:09anything else okay i got the vehicle unoccupied lucas is a suspect here less than five minutes ago
30:15she's on foot we need backup in an airship secure a 10 block radius for a great search
30:23i don't like this she wouldn't have abandoned the car unless she stopped for a reason
30:27odds are won't be a good one i'm gonna find her fast
30:34this is crazy there's no way we find her in the baby we've got multiple units and an airship
30:39searching we will find them how they could be anywhere no on foot with a newborn and a five
30:43minute head start she's definitely within our grid someone will have seen her we just
30:48pray we find her before she does something rush
31:00up on the right
31:05not her
31:09can i make a suggestion of course would it be helpful to have rita's husband brought down here
31:16for for when she's found it could be dangerous we don't know what the situation was like at the
31:21house and even if the baby's death truly was accidental there could have been marital issues
31:26that added to rita's pbd we'd be introducing a wild card to an already tenuous situation so it's all
31:31on you i mean no matter what you find when you get to her you have to be ready to deal with it what
31:36what if you make a mistake we have to live in it if we can
31:42all units air three has eyes on the suspect fourth street bridge repeat fourth street bridge
31:48she has the baby she's standing the railing possible jumper repeat possible jumper
31:55there we go control device fire we have a possible jumper on fourth street bridge see if they have
31:59a crash pad available we'll also need r a and backup units go too high
32:05maybe i should stay back uh it's up to you but a friendly face not in uniform might actually
32:23calm the situation hey you wanna play this you go talk to her sure yeah i'll step in if i need to
32:28you know why why nolan he has a way of connecting with people in crisis situations hi rita i'm john
32:43how do you know my name uh ethan told me he's very worried about you i'm fine who's that you got there
32:52casey this is casey
32:54casey looks a little bit cold why don't we bring her inside off the bridge no she's fine with her
33:01mom do you mind if i just make sure stay back okay yeah i'll stay back we can just talk
33:17how's she doing uh it's touch and go what do you need keep them back we don't want to speak
33:23okay you know i know it can feel isolating being a parent to a newborn she's not looking at the
33:28baby she's trying to convince herself that it's her baby she's holding yeah deep down inside she
33:37knows it's not what happens when she figures out the truth it's hard to say for sure we could break
33:42the spell or get sent over the edge literally control what's the et on fire a free minute might as
33:48well in two hours are you thirsty nolan can i talk to her hey rita i'm gonna introduce you to my friend
33:57angela okay okay hi rita i'm here to help this casey yes i love that name my fiance and i can't agree on
34:10a name for our baby how did you choose i don't know when she was born she just looked like a casey
34:21how far along are you 14 weeks i'm already scared about giving birth
34:27the pain don't worry about the pain once they put your baby in your arms
34:33and you look down into those beautiful eyes it was all worth it i heard all newborns have blue eyes
34:43not casey dark brown right from the start most amazing head of hair i hope if i have a daughter
34:52she's born with hair my cousin's little girl she was bald for like the first 18 months
34:58everyone thought she was a boy i love putting casey's hair in little pigtails she always fights me but
35:05she looks so cute rita can you do something for me can you look at casey just look in those pretty brown eyes
35:19please rita i need you to look in her eyes
35:28it's not casey is it
35:40here i got her i'll get her back to her mother okay
35:49tell her i'm sorry
35:51okay thank you rita it's a very brave thing you did and now i need you to come with me okay
36:01my baby died i know i'm so sorry
36:08come on
36:21well thank you for today this is an experience i will not forget well we should schedule another
36:39one of these little ride-alongs so that we can continue the conversation oh that won't be necessary
36:43the book's already written isn't it i sent it to my publisher last week what then what was today
36:51about that just an anecdote for the book tour no i didn't know the day was going to end up the way
36:56it did but how do you write a book about policing without having seen it up close oh i have seen it
37:01believe me today may have been my first ride-along but it was not my first time sitting in the backseat
37:05of a cop car i see but if you're going to fix an engine don't you think it would be helpful to look
37:09under the hood that is a flawed analogy officer nolan because a car is not actively trying to keep
37:14you from fixing it um excuse me look i get that the path to real change seems almost impossible i mean
37:25police departments are pros at circling the wagons when public opinion turns against them but i promise
37:32you the only way things really will change is if cops get on board i agree but cops only act when
37:40activists make so much noise they cannot be ignored like in camden look you're talking to two police
37:47officers who would like to see things change and we're not the only ones at the station that feels
37:51this way i just think that maybe you could benefit from some of our insights
38:02all right you sold me great i'll tell sergeant gray i'm sure he'd love to be part of the conversation
38:09oh thank you and thank you both for the ride along i will see you in class looking forward
38:20i think that went well all things considered uh yeah no she's definitely going to give you an a
38:25you think no she is going to make you earn it in class like the rest of her students
38:30fair enough yeah you any plans for the rest of the night hugging my daughter until she is sick
38:34of it and then hugging her some more sounds nice no one i'll see you tomorrow all right sir wow
38:43how'd it go with professor ryan good i think she's going to be calling you to talk about uh police
38:48before for her book you pointed my way to get back at me for the ride alone no sir no i just know how
38:55committed you are to making things better even if it does mean having to admit you're wrong to do
39:00it oh i'm sorry when was i ever wrong well nothing comes to mind offhand i guess there was that one
39:10time you said if i succeeded your house would be flooded with middle-aged losers looking for an eat
