You have to believe me! Wait. Wait! Wait!
We've got to get in there. We will.
We just need Tim and Lucy to get into place.

Lopez: Okay, how do we split up the points?
I told you.
I know, I know. You're not playing.
But we need to figure out how to split them up right.
It's not tricky, just give him more.
Wait, uh, are you guys trying to rig it so Tim wins?
N-- Why would we do that?
I don't know. This --
This competition is clearly an emotional thing for him.
I just...
It's personal. From when he was a rookie.
Oh.
Is it Isabel?
I-I met her once.
I know that they were rookies together
before they got married.
Yeah. Yeah, and they loved The Roundup.
They had an epic competition.
Do you really think holding on to this
is what he needs?
Maybe it's better for him to lose.
This contest is the one day a year he feels connected to her.
Do you really want to take that away?

After some complicated math,
the winner is...
...Bradford and Chen!
Which means their drinks are also free.
-Hey! -Congrats, man.
-Eh.
I'll give you a hug. Thank you.
♪ Where in the world have I been? ♪
Hey.
When's the last time you lost something? What?
You broke all your dad's records at the Academy.
You were the first in your class.
When's the last time you lost at a competition?
I don't know. I can't remember.
Sounds exhausting.
Yeah. It is, okay?
Look, I just need to prove that I belong here,
that I didn't just inherit this spot,
that I earned it.
Can I give you some advice?
Sure.
Nobody cares how you got here if you can do the job.
So give yourself a break every now and then.

-Hey. -Hey.
Thanks for looking out for me today.
Oh, um, it was -- it was my pleasure.
I'm glad you won.
You were right.
You are my favorite.
Look, Nell, I-I should tell you,
I'm married.
Huh. I didn't know that.
Yeah. It's complicated.
But I-I can still buy you a drink to say thanks.
Yeah, sorry.
I don't do complicated.
But, um, thanks for the book.
Yeah.
Hey.
Sorry you lost.
No. I'm -- I'm happy you won.
Uh, look, I-I lied, uh, when I said
I wasn't bothered by Antonio hitting on you.
But it's not my place to be jealous, so --
Of what?
I said no.
I didn't break up with you so I could date somebody else.
I did it so I could focus on being a cop.

Wow, you really have changed.
It's not funny.
Give yourself a break, John.
When was the last time you were single?
Before I was married. No.
No, I dated Cindy Carducci all through high school.
So...never.
Wow. Yeah.
You deserve some you time.
To be a little immature and figure out who you are
now that you're a single guy in L.A.

Be on your own.
I don't like falling on my face.
