Tim bradford & lucy chen II their full story [1x01 - 6x10]

Officer Bradford. I've been shot! What? Where are you, Boot? What? I'm bleeding to death. You have to call for help. Where are you? Now I'm dead. It's your fault. Get out. What? Get out and walk. You can get back in when you know where you are. Why you became a cop? Here, I'll do it for you. You wanted to piss off your parents for making you an emotional science experiment. You ever get the hot sauce, did you, Boot? I've been long for this. Hey. What are you doing here? Heard you got Wrigley. He always dumps his rookies here while he goes home to eat mac and cheese in his undies. I'm around the corner. I was getting takeout. Right. Mac and cheese, huh? I didn't know you were an essay fan. With all due respect, sir, you're a pain in my ass. That's my job. Now get some rest. See you tomorrow. It's good to have you back. Damn straight. I'll see you tomorrow. Who the hell are you to tell me this? You think I don't know? I'm your rookie. And I need you to train me, not put me in danger because you can't handle losing your wife. Thanks. She likes you. She was doing me a favor. That's all. I'm married, Officer Chet. This isn't something you and I talk about. Keep your eyes peeled for our DUI. Yes, sir. You know what? Maybe you could wash the dishes. Bet you might want to glove up. Good night. I've been riding with you for too long. You project the rogue cop thing, but you are always on the right side of the law. If you came all the way over here to psychoanalyze me, you wasted your time. I came here to remind you, you'll regret helping her. Because it's not going to change her. But it'll sure as hell change you. You did the right thing. Not for Isabel. You did the right thing. Letting them find Isabel's drugs? They weren't hers. But she's in this situation because she let herself get taken advantage of. I'll be back when I'm done. Tim? For what? Doing my job. Don't open it until end of shift. Whatever you wrote in here, I'm going to prove you wrong. I knew you'd say that. I know everything you're going to do. Before I leave Officer Bradford, I just wanted to give you this. It's my evaluation of you. That's not how it works, boo. Yeah, well, if you don't want to read it, don't. What is it? Their bar tab. That little? Was it Isabel? Look, Murphy was our investigating officer. Okay, but you're not Isabel, so what's her beef with you? Not your concern. Start the paperwork. You're having fun, aren't you? No. What the hell are you doing, boo? You still have one shot on your checklist. It's too late. The shift's over. The shift's over when we punch out. We're not punching out until we get you a meth possession. Come on, Gray approved the OT. Let's go. After I pass, there won't be any more daily evaluations to write. Whether I evaluate you daily or weekly, I will continue to judge you every minute. Understood? Yes, sir. I just checked with Dr. Morgan the vaccine's minutes away. Lying isn't one of them. You think I'm good at things? It's gonna be okay. I really believe that. I'm sure you do. But if it isn't... Don't think like that. Got it. Why are you treating me like it's day one all over again? Because it is. Today was day one of stage two of your training. So what? Does that mean I've lost all the respect that I earned? You lost that when you lied on a report. What? I read your account of what happened at the quarantine house. Okay. When I thought I was infected, I told you I'd rather take my life than bleed out. I was trying to protect you. They would have put you on leave, required therapy. You weren't even actually suicidal. Not your call. You should have detailed everything, regardless of the consequences. Oh, yeah? Like I should have filed a report detailing everything you've done to protect Isabel? The number one mistake new leaders make is to think themselves suddenly infallible. The best leaders understand that even the lowliest patrol officer has something valuable to teach them. Repeat that last part back to me. Here. What's this? It is split-second leadership, leading men in the line of duty, the audio book. This book's out of print. There's no audio book. Yeah, which is why I recorded one for you. You want to set me up? Forget it. Given if this wasn't your dumbest idea yet, there is no way you'd be able to pick someone right for me. Um, I bet I can. I hope it wasn't too unbearable. It was fine. He was fine. I know he can come off like this smug, hard-ass, but, you know, deep down, he has a really good heart. Hey, could I borrow your, uh... Short sleeves. Uh, I'm not a whiskey girl. To the end of the world. Whenever that may be. You make that your home screen, you're going to be running the academy training course in a bomb disposal suit. I would never do that. It is now my lock screen. Sorry. I wouldn't have gotten this stupid plaque if you didn't have my back today. So, you know, thanks. For what? Doing my job? Hey. Caleb from the bar last night. Yeah. I hope this isn't weird, but you left with your perp before I had a chance to ask your number. We don't call them perps. You got a last name there? Caleb? Uh, yes, sir. Right. With a W. What do you do? If you say screenwriter, you're going in a cell. I manage a medical supply company downtown. I'm sorry about him. Things are a little crazy right now. What? What are you doing? Nothing. Ten bucks, that isn't even his dog. I believe Caleb is Rosalind's protégé, and he took Officer Chen. I've got her! I've got her! Have you been here all night? Yeah, I'm starving. You know what I really want to eat right now? Veggie burger and fries? Extra pickles? You know me so well. Too well. It wasn't your day of death, Officer Chen. It was the first day of the rest of your life. And no one can take that away from you. Thanks. Are you riding with me tomorrow? Yes, sir. Good. Get in early. War bags need restocking. Okay. You said at the end of the day, we only think we know other people, but you're wrong. Okay, Lucy. No. When I was in that barrel, I knew you would find me, no matter what it took. I found you because of your ring. Okay? You saved yourself. And I really hope what happened with Rosalind today doesn't screw with your head. If it does, I'll deal with it. And I know you'll help me. Plus leaving. Plus an apology. I crushed this test. Nice recovery. Soon there'll be a new rookie sitting in that seat and whining the crap out of me for 12 hours a day. So you're not going to miss riding with me? At all? It's a job, not happy hour. Denial? Check? Nothing? I have feelings for you. We've been through a lot this year. I mean, you saved my life. And I didn't want to say anything before because I didn't want to put you in a weird position. But now, I mean, I think... I think the reason why you're so protective of me and why you don't want me to be an undercover cop is because... Because you have feelings for me, too. Um, listen. Are you kidding me? Are you sorry? It's a copy of your final evaluation. I wrote it before our shift today. Like plain clothes day? Only this time I didn't have to rewrite it. Officer Chen impressed me with every decision she made today. I will miss riding with her. Um, I have a gift for you. It's a thank you. For every lesson I had to learn. Should I open it now? Absolutely. Really? It's been a blast, sir. I'll see you tomorrow, Lucy. See you tomorrow, sir. Registration, please. You don't really need that. You should come to the party after work. We'd have fun. Yeah. Alright, I won't let you go with a warning this time. But slow down, okay? Yeah, I promise. Thank you so much. Have fun at that party. Nice suit. Nova would be impressed. Nova was a little thirsty. I like to think of her as a sardine. Hey, Chen. Yeah? Save me a dance. What are you doing? I am paying you back. By going with booties again? I am disappointed. I thought you were more original. It has been a busy couple of days. Plus, I... I accidentally ordered twice, so... You're welcome. You and Nolan... You did good work today. I've been told that it's important for a supervisor to give praise. Oh. Well, thank you. What else do you appreciate about me? That you know when not to push your luck. Yes, okay. Good night. If you want the job, all you gotta do is ask. What? You sabotaged when? I don't know what you're talking about. His cat personality? Well, that's got you written all over it. Look, if you want me to ride with you, you don't need to make up an excuse. Just ask me. How's it going, Sarge? Fine. How come Smitty's not doing the paperwork? He claims to be allergic to paper. That's not funny. You should have just asked me. I was doing you a favor. How? By telling the entire station that you would rather ride with Smitty than me? So are you saying you want the job? If you're saying you want me to do it. What the hell? Let's do it. You get here an hour before roll call tomorrow, and I'll get you up to speed on all the new protocols. Will do. Thank you. You're welcome. Good luck with your paperwork. You think you'll ever have kids? Honestly? I thought I would have had some by now. Isabelle and I, we made all these plans, popped out three kids, watched them grow up, have kids of their own, but... Things don't always work out. Who finds the treasure first? You're on. If we find it first, you have to stay quiet in the shop for an entire shift. Okay. And if we win, you have to do something completely out of your comfort zone. My choice. Enjoy a little poetry club. Enjoy reviewing 18-year-old evidence from a cold case. I hear those are super easy to crack. Me and Jerry win. You know, we would have been here first, but we had some police matters to deal with. Great. Good job. We still won. Nope. We're gonna call it a tie. What? No way it was a tie! 100% a tie. Oh. Hey, so I've been meaning to talk to you about our bet from the treasure hunt. The bet I won? No, the bet I won. I had the gold in my hands. Because I stopped to arrest an armed gunman. Technically, I arrested him. All you did was stand there with your arm out. Which is even more arresting. All right, mic me up. Let's get this over with. It's a little too high. I know what I'm doing. You okay? No. I was protecting her. He never did anything to protect us. But his mistress broke half a dozen laws for her. You're nothing like him. Kojo is just like... Well, I mean, he's kind of just like Tim. He's big, gruff, a whole lot of bark. But, you know, you should, um... You should tell Tim how you feel. No way. Never ask a man to choose between his dog and his girlfriend. There's a whole genre of country songs that warn him about that. You know that call you took earlier? It was... It was Ashley. Why is my girlfriend calling you? She wanted to know if Kojo was a dangerous dog because you told her he used to be mine. Okay. That's ridiculous. I mean, he growled at her a few times, but he's just getting used to her. I mean, it's not a big deal. It is to her. And you're so concerned about my love life because... Because I don't want to drive around on patrol with you while you are moping about screwing this up. Look, if you like this girl, you should listen to her. What's his name, Gerald? God, shut up. Don't. It's nothing. No, it's something. Okay, we had a 211 and a petting zoo. All the animals got loose. So we nab our suspect, we get him back to the shop, and that's where we find... Gerald, the goat. He is so cute. He's sitting in Lucy's seat. Because I forgot that I had rolled down the window. You know, who knew goats could jump? She tries to talk him out of the shop, but it's a goat, right? So she spends five minutes making goat noises at this thing. Yes, he called me Goat Whisperer for all of last February. It was great. Darn thing never moved. So, you know, we finally had to call animal control. Why are you so funny? You know, technically, I still owe you a dance. I mean, there's no technically about it. A debt is owed. It's all you. Listen, I know you think I've been taking credit for your work, but... I know, I know. You said that's what happened. I did. But, like, um, that's not what I was gonna say. Um... You're a good cop. Maybe even one of the top five I've ever trained. I cracked the top five, huh? Look, I want you to have a successful career. I have decided to enlist you as the arresting officer on all future reports. But you're senior officer. I know. But you deserve to be recognized. Thank you. Ooh, it's like a war. Look at Bradford move. Yeah. Are you proposing to Ashley? What? Of course not. We've only been dating a few months. Okay. But if you take a girl to Hawaii, there's gonna be expectations. You might not be aware of some of the signals that you're sending. What kind of signals? The kind that makes her get a manicure because she's assuming she'll be sending pictures of her hand to all her friends. You're going to Hawaii. Congratulations on your engagement. Ah, told you. I'm not getting engaged. Does your girlfriend know that? Yes, it's not an issue. Is he really this clueless? Yes, trust me, it is a daily struggle. Let's go. Be honest. Can you see yourself married to her? Yeah, I can. I'm sorry, Ashley, look, I need to clear the air about something here. Look, the reason Lucy was so annoying today is that she is convinced that you think I'm taking you to Hawaii to propose. But you don't think that, right? Because I'm not. I mean, I think we are magic together, but I... Shh. It's okay. Okay, so, um, you were on the run from the cops. A bank robbery gone wrong. You ended up in my building, frantic, looking for a place to hide, and... and I opened the door for you. I lied to the cops, but, you know, they got me so hot that we hooked up while they were still searching the building. Pretty good. Thank you. Look, we should, we should probably, if we're going to sell that girl... Yes, I'm ready. I'm sorry, is that it? You know what, if you're going to criticize me... I'm fine. I can do this. Yo, finish up. We're landing. Lucy, if you change your mind, you just say the word. I will. Okay? Let's go. Wait. We're supposed to be cooking up in here. What? Oh, God. Yeah. You're really good at this, you know? Undercover thing. Thank you. Hey, you hungry? Yes. I would get some french fries if you're ordering. Yeah, okay. Do you want to talk about it? About what? The airplane bathroom, your apartment. Look, call me crazy, but it just doesn't feel like pretend. It's an intimate act. I mean, we'd have to be dead inside for it to not trigger something, right? It's basic biology. Okay, so wait to get out of these clothes. Yeah, I'm not going to miss that hairdo. I kind of like yours. Thank you for walking me out. No problem. Are you okay? Why didn't anyone tell me? I'm good. Doctor said I'm going to make a full recovery. And I told everyone to keep you in the... Why? I didn't want you to worry. You thought you might be paralyzed, but you were worried about me? You know what? Slow your roll, Chen. Clearly, I misspoke. I was worried about the station. I knew you'd be too concerned about me to take over for Smitty. Mm-hmm. I'm keeping you company. Are you and Chris moving in together? No. He seems to think you are. I mean, I don't know. He kind of sprang it on me this morning. You guys are happy, right? Yeah. Those are the obvious next steps. You know, we're super happy. It's good. If we do this and it doesn't work, I'll have ruined the most important relationship in my life. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have... No. You're right. So we should just keep going the way we have been, right? It's not worth the risk. Unless it is. Do you want to get dinner sometime? Yeah. No. Okay. No, no. It's just... Not yet. I owe it to Chris to end things the right way with him. Ask me again. Later. After. Deal. I'm gonna handle it my way. No. I'm not. Do you want to go out on a date? Yeah. I do. Hey, I'm almost there. No. No, you're not. No, I'm not. Sorry. Are you? No. What did you order again? Oh, the sea bass. Right. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I almost ordered the sea bass. Oh, cool. Mm-hmm. I feel like I might... I might just need you to reset your expectations a little bit. You're not gonna see me naked for... a while. I mean, I don't want to rush into that. I want to take things slow. Go on this date, maybe a second date. Have our first... real kiss. I just don't think we should jump into bed together just because we know each other so well. Right? I mean, do you... Agree. It's gonna be so weird going to a different station knowing I'm not gonna see you all day. There's no guarantee that our shifts will sync up. I hadn't thought of that. Wait, wait, wait. So by doing the right thing, we're gonna see each other a lot less? Most likely. No. I talked to Gray, and you're looking at the new court liaison sergeant. But that's a desk job. Yeah. Out of your chain of command. Look, you and I will get to see each other every day, and you won't have to travel to some... I don't know, faraway station where they're gonna make you work the midnight shift because you're a newbie. Tim, it's... It's done. Okay? Happy Valentine's Day. It's beautiful. Did you pick this out yourself? I did. Is that shocking? No. You clearly have good taste. Tim and I are in a really beautiful place. And that's all that matters. What's all this? I'm studying for the detective's exam. 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. You owe me. I don't owe you. You owe me. Ahem. There are other rooms in the apartment for that. Come here. You okay? Yeah. You? Yeah, I am now. We got the shooter, but the driver got away. Meet me at the laundry room in your building. Yes. See you in 30. Hey. That was really scary. Yeah, I thought I had a heart attack. Does Frank know who took a run at him? Not for sure, but he's clearly in a tenuous position, even with his own crew. If you need to tap out... No. The fact that he can't trust anyone actually strengthens my in. He needs an ally. I can be that. And hopefully bring the whole thing down from within. I know I made you promise to not watch Top Chef without me, but I couldn't wait. I'm sorry. Bad girlfriend. No. No? No, I'm sorry. Horrible. I can't lose you the way I lost her. You won't. I'll walk away before it ever gets close to anything like that, okay? I promise. This isn't gonna work if you're gonna lie to me. Fine. Did you undermine me today because you're scared that I'm gonna make Detective... What? No. Kim. No. And I'm upset you'd even think that. Look, I don't know. Maybe it wasn't deliberate. Maybe it was subconscious. So now you're accusing me of being unaware of my actions? That's not better. You have to admit that what happened with Isabelle was deeply traumatic for you. I've never not admitted it. I admitted it the first day we met, okay? So the only thing I did today was have your back. But if you can't see that, then... You know what? You've got studying to do, so let's just take the night off. All right? I'll see you tomorrow. Here. Good job. You okay? Yeah, I'm great. Oh, hey, do you know where Tim is? Yeah, I think he's in interrogation. What is happening right now? I am gonna prove to you that I'm rooting for you. With a lie detector test? Yes. Wait, so I can ask anything? I mean, the point is for you to ask me about you making Detective, you know, or getting undercover, that sort of thing. Do you love me? Yes. We're gonna get through this. I love you. What's up, Isabelle? Look, there is definitely no prize for coming in last. But I'm pretty sure there's a prize for coming in 17th. Oh, my God. You really thought I was gonna come in first? Of course I did. I'm sorry for disappointing you. You could never disappoint me. This is cute. I did a good job. Yeah, you did. Are you hurt? You didn't have to take my hero suggestion so literally. I don't feel like a hero at all. Any news? He's still in surgery right now. What if he dies? What if I killed that guy? We'll deal with it. Let's go home. That present for me? Yep, and the beers for me. Thank you. What? Nothing. It's just, um, gift-giving isn't really your love language, so... Oh, yeah. What is my love language? Terse nods, mainly. Okay, well, I'm trying to change things up. Okay, well, can I open it now? Yeah, of course. I killed an action radio? Aw, that is so sweet. Oh, good. You're not dead. I'm sorry. Not good enough. I've spent the last 36 hours imagining you bleeding out at a variety of Los Angeles landmarks. I would have called you if I could. Telling me you're alive is not optional. What the hell are you into that's making you so crazy? I can't tell you. Why? Not gonna have my drama infect you. Then what are you doing here? I came to see you. And what? Order taken? Watch TV? Pretend like nothing's going on? No, I... If you are not here to tell me the truth, I need you to leave. Hey, what's wrong? Where are you? Lucy. Where the hell are you? I have no idea. No, no more excuses, Tim. You have to tell me what's going on with you. Right now. Now. Lopez Inn. It's different. She has less to lose than you. Please, just steer clear of this for me, okay? I can't. I won't. You clearly need help, and I am done being the good girlfriend, okay? You don't have to tell me everything, but you are gonna let me in. Lucy, I've been lying to myself for a long time. That's clear to me now. And I can't... I can't just go back to the way things were. Not right now. Maybe never. Wait. Are you breaking up with me? You don't... You don't get to do that. You don't... You don't get to lie to me. And then use that as an excuse to leave me. Okay? That's not okay. What you're doing is not okay. I know. You... You are an incredible person. No. No, you're incredible, okay? You deserve so much better. Oh, my God. That's why I'm walking away. Don't do this. Why are you doing this? I'm sorry. Hey. Lucy. Hey. I'm... Clocking out. Really? You really want to pretend like nothing is going on right now? Have you ever thought that maybe I have something I want to say to you? You were so concerned about what I deserve. How about a real adult conversation, Tim? Lucy. I can't give you what you're looking for. And you clearly have more to figure out than I realized. And you need somebody else besides me to help you with that. So, good luck. Oh. How are you? What are you doing? To be clear, I'm still mad at you, okay? This doesn't change anything. What doesn't? Are you okay? I am now. It's good to have you. Thanks. So... So I took your advice. Went to therapy. And my therapist turned out to be a blackmailing psychopath. You know that's not normal, right? One bad experience shouldn't tar the whole profession. Did you tell her anything revealing about me? I believe the term I used was freak in the sheets. You're the worst. You probably saved my life. You got him. I was upside down in a foot well and he was about to stab me in the face. No, I did not have him. So thank you. You're welcome. Listen. No, I ruined everything. Know how easy it would have been for you to turn on me. You don't have to do this. Yeah, I do. You will never know how much I appreciate the kindness you've shown me. And I will spend the rest of my life trying to pay it back. In whatever small doses you allow.
