In tonight’s The Rookie episode, Officer Nolan thinks he might have moved in with his girlfriend. It was definitely not planned. She just started staying over a lot and now he was doing both of their laundries. They never had an official talk about it. It was kind of like she stayed one night and then stayed the rest. Nolan would have liked to talk to Bailey about it, but she was away thanks to an Army Reserve thing and so Nolan was sounding off about it to his best friend Officer Chen.
They were partnered up together. They were responding to a call about suspicious activity when they came across a bomb. They were forced to run for their lives and they managed to make it out of there just barely. As for the bomb, it took out a power grid.
The FBI came in once the bombing was suspected to be a terrorist attack. The FBI was hearing a lot of chatter on the dark web about a possible terrorist attack and they had no clue where it would happen much less who was behind it. But once LA was dealing with a power grid that was taken out, the FBI felt that was a terrorist attack.
They came on the scene and sorta took it over. They first talked with the man who called in the suspicious activity. The guy identified the man who was acting out of character as white with a scar on his face. He also spoke with a Russian accent. His girlfriend noticed it.
But the DNA they got off the detonator led back to Ezekiel Freemont. He was black and American. The FBI came to suspect that the Zeke was working with a terrorist organization and that there might be more bombs. They brought in Simone Clark. She was the oldest FBI trainee in the program. She was also Zeke’s guidance counselor.
She was flown out to LA where she was asked about Zeke and she told him that he didn’t match their description. He wasn’t some terrorist. He was an anxious kid suffering from sensory overload and he would hide in an area that is dark and quiet. He wanted to feel safe after the bombing.
The FBI hadn’t appreciated what Simone had to say. They were all prepared to fly her back to Quantico and trust only their profiler’s word, but Nolan listened to her. He listened and he realized she had more to offer than what the FBI believed. He took Simone out into his car.
They went looking for Zeke. They later found him after Simone commandeered his patrol vehicle and so Simone knew what she was talking about. She found Zeke. He remembered her from high school and he only agreed to talk to the FBI if it could be Simone he talks to. The FBI reluctantly agreed to this. They sent in Simone to talk to him and Zeke opened up.
Zeke had been broke when he got an offer on the dark web to make several detonators. The man who bought at least six detonators had claimed he only needed them for research and by the time Zeke came to mistrust him – he tried to kill him. Zeke barely made it out of there.
He’s been hiding ever since and that’s when Simone and Nolan found him. Simone had done her part. She had helped and afterward, the FBI told her to return to Quantico. Nolan promised her that he would have it from her and the LAPD did pursue a lead. They realized that the terrorist had targeted the power grid because he wanted to go after the National Guard’s Armory in the area without power.
The LAPD went to the Armory. They spotted someone driving off in an armored truck and they pursued him. They eventually cornered him. Only for the guy to turn out to be a black man that was hired by the Russian man with a scar on his face. The hired guy had no clue where the Russian was or what his plans were. The only thing he did know was that the man stole over two hundred pounds of C4. This could mean the man was making huge bombs. Full-scale terrorism bombs. But Simone wasn’t happy with being sent home. She came back and she asked to be put on the FBI task force. The woman she spoke with had tried telling her to keep her head down.
How women don’t usually survive the boys club that is the FBI. Simone heard all of that and she realized she was never going to hide who she is. She’s forty-eight. She was never a fresh recruit and what she did have that the others didn’t experience. Simone was able to assist Harper and Lopez who was talking to a man who thought he got broken into by an alien.
Simone realized he was going through a psychotic break. She asked the detectives if she could question him and she was able to determine that this man didn’t have his house broken by an alien. It had actually been the Russian.
The man was a professor of transportation. All of his maps of the roads had been stolen and that coupled with the fact that so much C4 was taken had everyone believing that the infrastructure would be targeted next. What they couldn’t figure out was why the man’s fingerprints were classified.
They got the fingerprints from the house he broke into and they put them into the database. It kept coming back as classified. It also said it had something to do with AREA 51. That place was known for aliens, but it could be a cover for top-secret fly missions and so everyone was now worried about what the terrorist would do with the information he had and they didn’t.
And so Simone talked her way onto the task force where she’s proving to be of great help.
THE END!
