00:31So, which one of these is your first choice?
00:33Whichever one I get into.
00:35Honestly, I just grabbed a handful of brochures
00:37from the counselor's office.
00:38I really didn't look at them.
00:41Morning, sleepyhead.
00:42Morning. What's all this?
00:43Bailey is helping me with my college applications
00:45before school.
00:46Isn't it a little late in the year to be applying?
00:48Yeah. I have analysis paralysis,
00:51otherwise known as overthinking.
00:52Right.
00:52Plus a well-documented procrastination disorder,
00:54you know, like Elvis, Mozart, and the Game of Thrones guy.
00:57I also like to prioritize other, more enjoyable interests.
01:00Basically, I've been frozen with fear about my future,
01:01and now I find myself up against it with time almost run out.
01:04When is it due?
01:05Midnight.
01:06Midnight tonight?
01:07I also need letters of recommendation.
01:09Bailey already wrote me one,
01:09but I was kind of hoping that you would write me one, too.
01:12By tonight?
01:13Uh, well, I mean, today's gonna be a little bit hectic.
01:16LAPD is transferring Heath Everett
01:18from Terminal Island to the courthouse downtown.
01:21That's the guy who crashed the plane you were on
01:24and then escaped.
01:24Briefly escaped, yes.
01:26And it's down to us to make sure he doesn't do it again.
01:29But I think we should have him round-tripped by late afternoon.
01:33I can write your letter then.
01:34You are quite literally the best after Bailey.
01:37Now that goes without saying.
01:39Wesley!
01:40I know.
01:41I mean, seriously?
01:42The contractor promised that the new offices
01:44would be repainted by Friday,
01:47which he also promised last week.
01:49But Del Monte and I are moving in on Monday no matter what.
01:54Hey, good morning.
01:56You know, this is ridiculous.
01:58When I said you could keep the ring here,
01:59I didn't expect you to come visit it every day.
02:01Okay, it's not every day.
02:04Fine, but I-I can't keep it at the house,
02:05can risk Lucy finding it.
02:07Well, you can't keep it here anymore
02:08because Emmy found it and stuck it up her nose.
02:10What?
02:10Don't worry, I cleaned it.
02:12Okay, so what do I do with it now?
02:15How about give it to Lucy?
02:18You do have a plan for the proposal, right?
02:20I mean, look, I'm cycling through options.
02:23You know, I-I want the moment to be perfect.
02:25Given that the whole station knows you're gonna propose,
02:27you got a day, two tops, before Lucy finds out.
02:35Bomb squad just finished clearing all ingress and egress routes
02:37to the courthouse.
02:38And underground access points, boxers.
02:40They're just guarded.
02:41How did the preemptive strikes go?
02:42Metro executed them earlier this morning.
02:45We've got 20 of Everett's known associates in custody.
02:49Hey, what do you think prison feels like to a guy
02:53whose whole life was luxury?
02:56I mean, the bathroom on Everett's yacht's
02:58bigger than his prison cell.
02:59Look, Everett did time in the army, okay?
03:01He is not soft.
03:01Plus, I will bet you anything,
03:03he does not believe that he's gonna remain in prison for long, so...
03:10Wow.
03:11A lot of lawyers.
03:14And yet,
03:15this is just a fraction of my legal dream team.
03:19I'm adding new ones every day.
03:22Like this guy.
03:24What's your name?
03:26Malcolm Walsh.
03:27Oh, right!
03:28You're the guy who, uh...
03:30You got the serial killer off, right?
03:32Alleged.
03:32Yes, sir.
03:33Liam Glassman.
03:35I mean, come on.
03:37That doesn't happen.
03:38If I were you guys,
03:40I would pack up my little pants and just go.
03:43You gotta be kidding me.
03:44I watched you murder a man in cold blood.
03:47There is an illegal team on the planet
03:49that's gonna keep you from spending the rest of your life in prison.
03:51Well, that's not why we're here.
03:53Today is solely about your court appearance.
03:56Hmm.
03:56In four hours, you will be escorted to the courthouse
03:58for a preliminary hearing.
04:00This will be a multi-agency escort,
04:02armed to the teeth
04:04and prepared to vigorously deny any attempts to free you from custody.
04:09And if anything does go wrong,
04:10the DOJ will immediately seek to transfer you to a supermax prison,
04:14while the full weight of the DOJ and the LAPD
04:18will be brought down upon your entire legal team for collusion.
04:21Now, I don't expect you to give a crap about that,
04:24but they sure will.
04:24This is outrageous.
04:26If you think you can intimidate us with this dog and pony show,
04:29you got another thing coming.
04:30Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
04:31You're mistaking this conversation for a threat.
04:33It is not a threat.
04:34It is a promise.
04:35Today we'll go smoothly,
04:36where lawyers start catching fists.
04:43Act accordingly.
04:45See you later.
04:49He's a smug bastard.
04:50Yeah, but is it because he's up to something
04:52or because he's just made a privilege?
04:54So I would definitely bet on the former.
04:56I agree.
04:58Tim, we're gonna go alpha level on that escort.
05:01Understood.
05:02I'll set it in motion.
05:03Everett?
05:04Yeah, day can't be over soon enough.
05:06Have you ever written a recommendation letter?
05:09Nope.
05:10Never.
05:11Now, there are very few people I'd recommend for anything,
05:13and the beauty of being Tim Bradford is
05:15people are too scared to ask.
05:17Right.
05:19Is that it?
05:20Yeah.
05:21Can I see?
05:26She's gonna love it.
05:27You think?
05:28I do.
05:30Just gonna put it loose in your pocket like that?
05:32Yeah, that box is too cumbersome.
05:34And to be honest, I don't trust the locker room.
05:37Morning.
05:37Big day, huh?
05:38Every day is a big day in the LAPD pen.
05:50Good morning.
05:51Uh, sorry to just drop by unannounced.
05:55I don't like that you know where I live.
05:57May I come in?
05:59I have a business offer that I think you might appreciate.
06:01Close the door.
06:03New offices will be ready next week.
06:07Exciting.
06:08Listen.
06:10It's no secret that my profile has blown up
06:13since I got Glasser off.
06:15In fact, I've just taken on Heath Everett as a client.
06:17I'm handling the state charges.
06:19So you came here to brag?
06:20No.
06:21To make amends.
06:23Deep down, I know that my success is based in your misfortune.
06:27And I'd like to try to balance the scales.
06:30Pass.
06:30But thank you for your concern.
06:33Sergeant Tim Bradford is claiming that Everett offered up
06:35ten million dollars to help him escape.
06:37Yeah, well, he tried to corrupt the wrong man.
06:39Tim is as straight and narrow as it comes.
06:41Still, there's no evidence to support Bradford's account.
06:43And given the scale of the charges against my client,
06:47attempted bribery just seems petty.
06:51Everett feels that Bradford is acting like a little bitch.
06:55His words.
06:56Well, I think Everett has more to worry about
06:58than the smallest item on his charge sheet.
07:00Well, I don't disagree.
07:00But he's the client.
07:01He wants it dropped.
07:03You are much better positioned to persuade Bradford than I am.
07:09Why would I say yes?
07:10Lawyers need clients.
07:12And law offices aren't cheap.
07:16Look, you and I both know that Everett is made of money
07:18and not afraid to spend it.
07:20You will be paid handsomely, regardless of outcome.
07:26Hmm.
07:27In exactly 12 hours, I will be a graduate of the FTO program.
07:31I think.
07:33What do you mean, I think?
07:35Nobody else has brought it up.
07:38Oh.
07:39Or what?
07:40Nothing.
07:40What? Selena, what?
07:42It's...
07:42It's just...
07:44Nolan spoke to me about my graduation multiple times
07:47through the weeks leading up to it.
07:49Well, he hasn't said a word to me.
07:51And according to my math, the six-month extension ends today.
07:54So why the radio silence?
07:55It's been crazy around you the last few weeks.
07:58Maybe it just fell through the cracks.
07:59Well, maybe he knows I'm gonna fail out, so he's not wasting his time.
08:04If Nolan wanted to bounce you, he'd just bounce you.
08:07Unless it's not Nolan who's planning to bounce me.
08:09Ben, turn your gear. You're not going out today.
08:11Wattis, you'll be riding with Nolan in the escort convoy.
08:15Why wouldn't I be going out?
08:19Excuse me.
08:20Hey, uh, why are you grounding Penn?
08:22Uh, I'm not. I'm reassigning him to help you.
08:25You're the one I'm grounding by giving you a temporary promotion.
08:29Oh, so you're taking my position in the escort convoy?
08:31What can I say? Gray wants a super shop.
08:33No, seriously, this has nothing to do with lack of faith in you.
08:36It's just after everything that happened with Everett last time,
08:38we can't risk the task force being caught by surprise.
08:40Okay, I get it.
08:41You're taking everyone capable and leaving me with the scrubs?
08:43There are no scrubs in the LAPD, Sergeant Chen.
08:46But I did reassign Penn to help bolster your roster.
08:50Got a second?
08:51Nope.
08:52Don't be grumpy. I would talk fast.
08:55So I've been hired to be a part of, uh, Everett's legal team.
08:58Just a small part, focusing on the bribery charge.
09:00Okay. What about it?
09:02Guy tried to bribe me and be in charge of it. End of story.
09:04Yeah, just that there's no body cam footage of the proffer.
09:07So it's your word against his and Everett is facing a dozen life sentences
09:10on far more serious crimes.
09:12I just figured we could take this off everybody's plate.
09:14There's no body cam because he turned off my feed when he tried to bribe me.
09:16And I'm fine with this on my plate, but if you have too much on your plate,
09:19maybe you shouldn't be representing a literal war criminal.
09:21Okay, there's no need to make this personal. I'm just doing my job.
09:24No, it is personal, because you were hired because we're friends.
09:26And that friendship just ended.
09:28Tim.
09:28You know what? You're not even part of the DA's office anymore,
09:31so you don't have the same privileges you once had when we were fighting the same fight.
09:34So from here on out, you're required to go sign in and get a visitor's badge like everyone else.
09:38Now get the hell out of here.
09:40Understood.
09:44Oh, I have a quick question because I didn't see it in the file.
09:46Did you fingerprint your body cam?
09:48Just so there's proof that it was Everett that cut the feed.
09:51Otherwise, how's the jury gonna know if this attempted bribe was offered by him
09:57or solicited by you and rejected?
10:01I look forward to answering all your questions in deposition, Counselor.
10:05Mm-hmm.
10:06Okay.
10:48I appreciate you coming off the injured list to help out today.
10:51I was scheduled for return next week anyway.
10:53I bet you need to get back into some trouble.
10:54Trouble?
10:55Let's make sure we don't find any today, okay?
10:57Yes, sir.
10:59I know I was skeptical, but this mobile watch command office is pretty damn sexy.
11:04I guess it'll be yours soon enough if the task force ended, I assume you want your job back.
11:10Closing up the task force is gonna take months.
11:12After that, I'm not sure what my next move is.
11:15That's you asking me to step in while you're planning the wedding.
11:18In that case, I'm happy to help out.
11:19Does everyone in the station know I'm gonna propose?
11:21I heard three separate sources.
11:23Great.
11:24Which means you gotta pop the question ASAP.
11:27So, what's the plan?
11:30There is no plan.
11:32Look, I don't want some big Instagram-ready production.
11:36I'll find the right moment and I'll ask.
11:39Tim, this is a story you're gonna tell your grandchildren.
11:42You can't wing it and hope for the past.
11:44How did you propose to Luna?
11:46We were just kids when we got together.
11:48So, I took her to the beach, gave her a ring so small because it came from my crackerjack box.
11:52I've seen her ring. It's huge.
11:55A series of upgrades over the years, my friend.
11:57The point is, it doesn't have to be flashy, but it does have to be thoughtful.
12:03Lucy does love the beach.
12:05The waves remind her how we're all interconnected.
12:08Sure.
12:08And also, it's pretty at sunset.
12:12Alrighty, almost to the bridge.
12:26Trouble?
12:27Maybe.
12:28All you as possible, bogey.
12:30Give me eyes on that plate and run out the whole hole.
12:41Alright, here we go.
12:45Send the perimeter.
12:46Protect the prisoner at all costs.
13:17Let's go.
13:42Let's go.
14:38Let's go.
14:48Let's go.
14:51Let's go.
14:53Let's go.
15:04Let's go.
15:06Let's go.
15:12Let's go.
15:14Let's go.
15:30Let's go.
15:38Let's go.
15:47Let's go.
15:50Let's go.
15:51Let's go.
15:54Let's go.
16:07Okay.
16:07Okay.
16:12Any news?
16:13No, not yet.
16:14Listen, I have a favor to ask and it's a little bit delicate.
16:17Of course.
16:18Okay, you know how I put Lucy's engagement ring in my pocket this morning?
16:21Yeah, but I can't find it.
16:23And you think you lost it here?
16:25I'm hoping.
16:26It should be pretty easy to spot.
16:27It's pretty shiny.
16:28Yeah, so is the 12 pounds of broken glass scattered everywhere.
16:33Right.
16:34Okay, but if it's here, I will find it.
16:37Um, question though, technically, if I find the ring on the ground at a crime scene, does
16:43that not make it then evidence that needs to be bagged and tagged?
16:46I mean, I'd say it's a gray area.
16:49It's not really part of the criminality that it's inspired.
16:51But if it ends up in that evidence locker, it'll be there for months, if not years.
16:54Right.
16:55Uh, okay, how about this?
16:57If I find...
16:58When I find it, I will document everything with a whole bunch of photographs.
17:03That way, if it becomes an issue later, we are at least covered.
17:05Perfect.
17:06Listen, I really appreciate this.
17:08You got it.
17:09Oh, um, can I bring Selena in the fold?
17:11That would make the search a lot easier.
17:14Yeah.
17:15Yeah, of course.
17:15Do what you gotta do.
17:16Just let me know the second you find it.
17:17Will do.
17:19What's going on?
17:19Uh, funny story.
17:21I can't help you.
17:23Were I in any way complicit with Mr. Everett's actions this morning, I'd be subject to disbarment
17:26and criminal charges, and I'm too smart for that.
17:29If you're trying to get me to violate attorney-client privilege by betraying protected conversations,
17:34well, I'm gonna need a record of that.
17:37This is Malcolm Walsh informing Detective Lopez and Agent Garza that I am now requiring
17:43reporting this conversation.
17:44That way, when I find my lawsuit, neither of them would be able to walk away with either
17:48their badge or their pension.
17:52Mutually assured destruction.
17:54And what's that mean?
17:55It means that I've been chatting with the FBI about the Ryan Dearborn incident.
17:58I already told you.
17:59I had nothing to do with his breakdown.
18:02He's a very sick man.
18:03Who I believe was made sicker by you.
18:05The same way I believed you leaked information about Glasser's killings to Harrison Novak so he
18:09could falsely confess those crimes.
18:11And now that Detective Lopez has brought these very serious allegations to the Bureau's attention,
18:16I have a duty to investigate, and I promise you that I will use every resource at my disposal
18:20and the disposal of the Justice Department to get to the truth, and ooh, will that be so very public.
18:26Which will knock you right back down to the minor leagues of defense lawyers.
18:30Or you could help us find Everett.
18:36I deny wholeheartedly that there's any truth to the detective's allegations.
18:50Demetrius.
18:51Who's that?
18:52After this morning's meeting at the prison, I heard Mr. Evers' lead counsel reference the name on a phone call.
18:57Specifically, whether Demetrius was ready.
19:02That's all I know.
19:03And now, I'm leaving.
19:13Ten bucks, he just pulled that name out of his ass.
19:15I don't know.
19:16He's-he's rattled.
19:19There's a chance he might be for real.
19:22Come on.
19:28Gun!
19:42You got him?
19:43Yeah.
19:44Gun!
19:46Got the gun?
19:47Got the gun?
19:48Got it? Got it!
19:49Requesting RAs to Mid-Wilshire Station.
19:51Multiple GSW victims.
19:53Penn, are you okay?
19:54Yes, ma'am.
19:55Okay, good.
19:57Want to tell me how the hell a gun got in here?
20:00Uh-uh.
20:02Was Tim upset we didn't find the ring?
20:04Yeah, but once I told him we found a piece of Everett's surveillance drone,
20:08he agreed getting it to Tech Squad was the priority.
20:13Hey, I have not written the, uh, recommendation letter yet.
20:17Oh, it's fine.
20:18I saw the news and you're kind of living in a Dwayne Johnson movie right now.
20:21So I took the liberty of writing it myself.
20:23All you have to do is sign it.
20:24Oh, I don't know if I'm comfortable with that.
20:26I mean, it's-it's my letter.
20:27I should write it.
20:28Are you sure?
20:29Because drone magnet helicopter escape is trending right now.
20:32You know what?
20:33Speaking of, can you confirm that these are pieces of a drone?
20:37Uh, yeah.
20:38That's the guts.
20:39It's flight controls, image stabilizer, GPS.
20:43Can we use that to figure out where it launched from?
20:45That's kind of what GPS is for.
20:47All right, you know what?
20:47Your hurtful sarcasm is going to be noted in my recommendation letter.
20:51You're too sensitive.
20:52Remember, at midnight my college career turns into a pumpkin.
20:55Good luck.
20:56Got it.
21:02Every criminal that passes through that door needs to be thoroughly searched for contraband and weapons.
21:07First by the arresting officer, and then by processing.
21:11I know, and I did.
21:12So then how did Bledsoe end up with a gun inside a holding cell?
21:15Did you deviate from normal pat-down procedures?
21:18No.
21:18But he was combative.
21:20It took two of us to control him.
21:21So it's possible you missed a gun?
21:24No.
21:24I searched him thoroughly after he was restrained.
21:26I did!
21:27So then how did this happen?
21:28I don't know.
21:29I can pull the security footage.
21:30No, Harper's handling that.
21:32You're sidelined until we get this sorted out.
21:37Yes, ma'am.
21:39Any word on Hall and the prisoner Bledsoe shot?
21:43Hall is in surgery.
21:45And the prisoner died in the ambulance.
22:00All right, everybody, listen up.
22:01GPS from the drone that Nolan Iwata has found on the bridge shows that it launched from the Port of
22:05Los Angeles.
22:06Now we've connected it to an international maritime company, Demetrius LLC.
22:10They have a fleet of three dozen boats currently operating on the west coast.
22:14One of which is a decommissioned military transport ship that is departing imminently from the Port of San Diego.
22:20Now we believe that Heath Everett is on that boat.
22:22Satellite imagery shows at least three dozen private soldiers along with equipment, vehicles, and weaponry have been loaded on board
22:29in the last hour.
22:30Now given Everett's deep ties inside the DoD, we have to assume that any effort to go through normal channels
22:35to coordinate a larger raid would risk alerting them.
22:37Therefore, we are going it alone. Small strike force will gain covert access onto the boat, locate, recapture Everett, and
22:43then get the hell out of there.
22:44Without starting a shooting war with a superior force.
22:47Exactly.
22:47How big is the boat?
22:49Bigger than I'd like. She's 800 feet bow to stern, has four cargo decks, three crew decks, a bridge, and
22:55an engine room.
22:56So it'll take a while to search. But on the plus side, it'll spread out their manpower in case our
23:01little stealth mission gets noisy.
23:15What are you doing here?
23:16Coming with. You're gonna need a medic, and I'm not taking no for an answer.
23:24Now, best guess, Everett will be staying here. Level three. It's on the upper deck. It's where the captain's quarters
23:29are located.
23:30But he could be in the officer's dining room, two decks below. Bottom line, we need to be prepared to
23:35search multiple areas.
23:36So we'll split into three teams. Team one, we'll cover the top decks. Team two, the cargo decks. Team three,
23:41we'll head to the engine room to disable the ship.
23:43So they can't come after us once we leave.
23:45Correct. Now, I wish I had better operational intel to give you, but if we don't get going right now,
23:50we're gonna lose him.
23:50Given his infinite resources, we may never get another opportunity to get him back. So, any last questions?
23:55Yeah. Who's buying beers when we're done?
23:59You know, real men don't need their wives to do their camo makeup.
24:03Oh, shush. Hey, this doesn't seem real.
24:06But it is. The situation might be unique, but the moves are the same. It's tactical infill. We search and
24:12clear rooms the exact same way. Communicate and coordinate every action we take.
24:15What are the odds we find Everett in the first place we look?
24:19Non-existent.
24:21You really aren't that glass half full kind of guy, are you?
24:25I'm a realist.
24:26Okay, realist. What are the odds we even pull this thing off?
24:30Let's get going.
24:32Why can't you just lie?
24:50Let's get go.
25:00Wink.
25:11Let's get go.
25:46Please be careful.
25:47I will.
25:51No makeup.
26:52No effort.
27:24Let's go.
27:24Be down.
28:54On the ground.
28:55Now.
28:58Down.
28:59Down.
28:59Down.
29:23Down.
29:53Don't move.
29:59I don't know.
30:36I found the nest, but it's empty.
30:42Sir.
30:47I got eyes on the prize.
30:48C-Deck, he's got about seven of friendlies with him.
30:51I need backup.
30:52Copy.
30:52Moving to you.
31:06Moving to you.
31:07Can you hear me about a family tour?
31:08Hands!
31:09It's only your hands.
31:10Down.
31:11You two now.
31:15Everyone face down on the ground.
31:17Do it now.
31:19Except you, Everett.
31:20You're coming with us.
31:22Like hell I am.
31:24Don't do it.
31:30Pilot door.
31:31Should be right above our boats.
31:37You move, you die.
31:45We have the prize, making our way out the Starbird pilot door.
31:49Top 10, evac now.
31:51Top clear.
31:52Copy.
31:52Evac it now.
32:08Go.
32:09Go.
32:09You sure?
32:09I got it.
32:11Go.
32:12You sure?
32:35Get up.
32:36They got him.
32:37They got him.
32:38Get down.
32:39They got him.
32:39Oh, my God.
33:14Oh, my God.
33:51Oh, my God.
34:12Oh, my God.
34:42Oh, my God.
34:43Female officer coming in.
34:46So, what's the verdict?
34:48Sit down.
34:53So, I scrubbed through 32 hours of security video.
34:56I can tell you for a fact that the gun in question belonged to one Moses Foley.
35:03Who's Moses Foley?
35:05A small-time stick-up man.
35:06Officer Wingate from night shift brought him in for trespassing.
35:09Both he and Officer Samuels in processing claim that they searched Foley, but both of them failed to find a
35:16weapon in his boot.
35:20He didn't want to get pinched to the courthouse with his arraignment, so he ditched the gun in the cell.
35:25And that is where Bledsoe found it and made a bad decision to use it to try and escape.
35:30Both officers are on administrative leave pending a full investigation.
35:35Wait, what about me?
35:37You are in the clear.
35:40Is that it?
35:43What, are you on an apology or something?
35:47I'm out.
35:48I guess I'm...
35:49I'm just relieved.
35:51None of this is my fault.
35:53Correct.
35:54Good job handling a dangerous situation.
35:57Now go home.
35:58Tomorrow's another day.
36:00As a rookie,
36:02the thing is, I thought this was my graduation day.
36:05I counted the six-month probation and...
36:06Did you count the time that you were in specialized training for crisis management and de-escalation?
36:11No, I thought that all went to us.
36:12It does not.
36:13You still have about three weeks left as a rookie.
36:19Although, given how you handled yourself today,
36:22I might just put in a recommendation to Sergeant Bradford that your timeline be accelerated.
36:29Yes, ma'am.
36:30I appreciate it, Detective Harper.
36:49Dash?
36:50What?
36:51Oh.
36:52Hey.
36:53Um, sorry.
36:54I must have fallen asleep.
36:56I was coming to bring you guys a thank-you bottle of champagne,
37:00but you guys weren't home, so I figured I'd wait.
37:02Well, that is so sweet of you, but completely unnecessary.
37:06I-I just wanted to thank you guys in person.
37:09Not just for actually writing the letters on time,
37:12but for all the nice things that you said in them.
37:14I've been feeling kind of anxious and off my game,
37:19but reading all those nice things that you wrote about me
37:21when you could have just signed the letter that I gave you is...
37:25It felt really nice.
37:26Well, my young friend, I meant almost every word.
37:29Funny, um, but I've been thinking,
37:34and I don't think I really want to go to college.
37:37Not yet, at least.
37:38I want to take a year, maybe two,
37:42and become an indie film god.
37:44Make the kind of reckless movies that only an 18-year-old
37:46who isn't afraid of the world can make.
37:49Well, I...
37:51I think that's a great idea.
37:54Awesome.
37:55Do you want to help me tell my mom?
37:56Oh, no, no, you're on your own with that one.
37:59Why don't I make us some food before you go?
38:01Oh, you can't break your mother's heart on an empty stomach.
38:03Yeah, sounds right. Thanks.
38:04Where were you guys?
38:05Covert Ops? Romantic Escapade?
38:07Buddy Club?
38:08Uh, a little bit of each.
38:11Yeah.
38:12Yeah, you do lead an exciting life.
38:13Yeah, a little too exciting.
38:14You know what?
38:15It, uh, kind of just breaks my brain sometimes
38:17when I think about the guy I used to be back in Foxburg.
38:21Oh, the sheer normalcy of that first chapter of my life
38:26compared to this.
38:27I feel a life lesson coming on.
38:29No, not at all.
38:30It's...
38:32It's just that without that foundation of my old life,
38:37none of this, uh, the crazy job, the beautiful house,
38:41the sexy badass I get to spend the rest of my life with,
38:46none of it would exist.
38:47So no matter what you do, movies, college, food industry,
38:52none of it will define you.
38:53There will always be a path to reinvention.
38:57I'm living proof.
39:01Oh, I should have recorded that, um, for the mom compo.
39:04Can you, can you run that one more time?
39:06Yeah, um...
39:08Oh, what was the first part?
39:09I started listening at sexy badass.
39:15Hey, if you're here to plead Wesley's case...
39:17I'm not, but he only took Everett on as a client
39:20so he could secretly investigate Malcolm.
39:22Didn't bother to tell anyone that, of course,
39:23but that's for another day.
39:25I'm here now because I found your ring.
39:28What?
39:30Where?
39:30In the super shop.
39:32You should have asked for my help in the first place.
39:33I spend my days searching my car for lost Legos
39:36and miniature dinosaurs.
39:37I owe you big time.
39:38No, you don't.
39:39Tim?
39:40Shh, go, now.
39:44Hey.
39:45Who are you talking to?
39:46Ah, mailman.
39:48Did he give you some mail?
39:49That's what we were talking about.
39:51What?
39:51So rude.
39:52Listen, you know what?
39:53It is a beautiful day out,
39:55and I was thinking,
39:56how do you feel about going for a walk on the beach?
39:59That sounds nice.
39:59Yeah?
40:00Yeah, let me get changed.
40:01Okay.
40:06You know,
40:08I don't really take for granted
40:10how close we live to all of this.
40:11Yeah, I was surprised you suggested it.
40:14I thought you hated the beach.
40:15What?
40:16Just because I don't like the sand
40:18doesn't mean I can't be out here
40:19appreciating the time with you.
40:24Oh, wow.
40:31Do you ever have that feeling
40:33where a moment is so perfect
40:35you're trying to memorize it
40:37while you're experiencing it?
40:39Yeah.
40:42Yeah, I do.
40:54When we met,
40:56I had come to believe
40:58that the world was a really dark place.
41:00And for the last eight years,
41:03you've shown me
41:03just how much light there really is.
41:06You have healed me
41:08in places I didn't even know were broken.
41:12And I promise you,
41:14I promise to spend
41:16the rest of our lives
41:17doing everything I can
41:18to be worthy of that love.
41:21So, Lucy Chen,
41:25will you marry me?
41:29Yes.
41:30Yes, yes.
41:31Ooh.
41:38Yes, I like it.
41:42Oh, it's perfect.
41:52Hey, congrats.
41:57What?
41:59Oh, yeah.
42:08Keith Everett says
42:09Payback is a bitch.
