Previously on "The Rookie"... You're back.
Interviewer: Another crazy story--
how could I stay away?
This gonna take long? Because, uh, we got work to do.
Interviewer: I heard you were happy with how
the last documentary came out.
Oh, my God. It was so good, and-- and--
[ Laughs ] And I got so many compliments.
Oh, that's great. How about you?
Didn't see it.
[ Dog barks ]
We found four kilos of black tar heroin inside of it.
What? Yo, that's crazy.
Lucy: Um...
That is disturbing.
Juicy: [ Laughs ] Oh, what is taking so long?
Do I look okay? Lisa: You look hot.
Right? [ Chuckles ]
God, I mean, this lip balm.
It's fire.
So, what are we doing here?
Girl, you know what we're doing.
No. For, like, posperiority.
[ Chuckles ] I think it's "posterity."
Mnh-mnh. That don't sound right, girl.
Okay. So...
[ Man speaks indistinctly over P. A. ]
...I'm waiting for Jake to get out of prison. Mm-hmm.
He just did six months on a drug charge,
and I found out today he's getting released early.
Ooh. For good behavior?
Girl. Overcrowding.

I'm good! How are you?
Good. Alright. Alright.
What do you want to do first?
You know what I want to do first.
No. After that.

Are we going straight or what?
Nah. Screw that. Let's be bad.

Sgt. Grey: Hey. Good morning.
Good morning. How you been?
Fine. Uh, busy.
[ Chuckles ] Yeah?
Yeah. Um... I-I'm sorry.
I'm still a little unclear
what your documentary is about this time.
I mean, what are the odds
that two cops would end up arresting two criminals
who look just like them?
Small. Infinitesimal.
And this is gonna be, like, a whole movie?
I hope so.
All I can do is start filming
and see where it takes me.
Here she is.
Hi.
[ Sighs ] I'm a little nervous.
Why? You're an old pro at this point.
I-I know,
but, you know, the other documentaries,
they weren't about... me. [ Chuckles ]
You're not interviewing me with Tim this time?
No, I thought it would be valuable
to hear from you separately.
[ Sighing ] Okay.
So, how did you first meet Jake Butler?
A case.
My roommate, Tamara,
bought a car at a police auction,
only to find drugs hidden inside.
So, we traced that back to Jake and arrested him.
Which brings us to the elephant in the room.
Right. Yeah. The whole look-alike thing.
He really didn't look that much like me.
♪
How can you say that? You look almost identical.
Says you.
Says me. They could have been twins.
Why do you think they called him Dim?
Interviewer: Wait. What? [ Chuckles ]
[ Laughs ] Oh, yeah.
We nicknamed Tim's doppelganger "Dim."
Interviewer: That's funny, but also a little prejudicial,
don't you think?
In what way?
I mean, the fact that you were denigrating his intelligence
comes to mind.
I mean, if the shoe fits.
Look, when you have been doing this job as long as I have,
it becomes very clear that most criminals are...
well, dim.
No comment.
Well, just 'cause you're too nice.
I-I would say a good 70% of the people we arrest
couldn't explain how a revolving door works.
Okay. Maybe 30%.
Yeah. Anyway, the job is super stressful,
and cops have a dark sense of humor.
So a nickname was born. Interviewer: Wait.
If you called Jake "Dim," what did you call Sava?
Hello?!
- Juicy. - Juicy.
Juicy. Juicy.
[ Laughs ] Juicy.
[ Laughs ]
They called her..."Juicy."
Interviewer: "They"?
[ Sighs ] We did. We-- Look, I...
I really tried not to, but it was a losing battle.
And then you and Sergeant Bradford
went undercover as your doppelgangers,
Dim and Juicy. Yes.
So, uh, Tim first, and then I joined him
on a UC operation in Las Vegas,
where we put some very bad people behind bars.
And was it around this time
that you and Tim became intimate?
N-- [ Sighs ] N-No.
We-- We had to pretend at intimacy
while we were undercover.
But Tim and I were both in relationships at the time.
We didn't start dating until after, you know,
when-- when we were both single again.
I want to dial in on that.
Do we have to? I...
The odds of you and Tim coming face-to-face
with Dim and Juicy are already astronomical,
but for both couples to hook up--
Interview's over. I need Chen. Hey.
Hey. Oh. What's wrong?
Not here.
Uh, excuse me.
Interviewer: Yeah.
♪
Nolan and Celina responded to a missing-persons call.
It was Sava. Jake's missing.
What?
♪
Oh.
Uh, my boyfriend, Jake, he's missing.
I-I-I can't find him.
Hello?! Hello?!
Yeah. No. Okay. Yeah.
Uh, just slow down.
Start at the beginning.
Tell us what happened. Okay.
Uh, we-- we were in the study.
He was getting a beer, grabbing me my lobster salad,
and, um, he just disappeared.
I don't know where he went. Interviewer: Back up.
What were Dim and Juicy doing at a Beverly Hills mansion?
Have you seen the movie "Parasite"?
Yeah, after Dim got out of prison,
he and Juicy started targeting rich people a-and celebrities,
getting hired to work at their homes.
Handymen, chefs, nannies.
When you say "celebrities"...
Lance Bass. Lance Bass.
I hired those two to take care of my house.
Woman: Is that Lance Bass?
Well, Jake first.
Hey, guys!
Uh, but then my sensualist quit,
and, uh, Jake recommended Sava.
Interviewer: I'm sorry. What's a sensualist?
They optimize the pleasurability of your surroundings.
Every element, from the tactile to the olfactory.
I have an incredibly stressful job,
so I want every aspect of my home experience to be...
euphoric.
Oh. [ Inhales sharply ]
More colorful.
An alien would never dance like that.
Mm, uh...
The mac and cheese.
Sorry about that.
No problem.
So what happened after you hired them?
I fired them. Why?
During the three days they worked for me,
they had sex on every surface of my house.
By "every," you mean...
Every even vaguely flat surface--
floors, beds, couches, dressers, counters, the diving board.
Even inside the dog crate.
It was only after Dim and Juicy were gone
that he discovered they'd also stolen
several expensive watches and some jewelry.
Interviewer: Were they arrested? No.
By the time police questioned them,
the stolen property was gone.
Likely pawned, so there wasn't
enough evidence to press charges.
What we didn't know at that point was
that Dim and Juicy were already casing out their next target.
Mm. The Baudelaires.
Oh, baby, this place is perfect.
Oh. No. It's on us.
Ooh. Right there. That's our in.
[ Grunts ] Listen to me.
You go back to that house, I'll shoot you in the face!
You got it?
Sent the guy packing. Took his job.
Well, they caught a break
when Jake showed up to work on day one
and discovered that the Baudelaire family
had recently lost their nanny.
So Juicy slid right in.
What?
That's just a really descriptive way to put that. [ Chuckles ]
Interviewer: How long did they work there before Dim went missing?
Three weeks.
And what can you tell me about the Baudelaires?
They were made of money.
And-- And then he just disappeared.
I-I don't know what happened to him.
Karen, why is there a police car outside?
Karen?
I'm sorry, Mr. Baudelaire, but, um,
Skip is missing.
Uh, sorry. And by Skip, you m-- you mean Jake?
Yes. Yes.
Uh, Skip and I, you know, we got pet names for each other.
He calls me Sava. I call him Jake.
It's not...
That's not even-- Okay.
So ha-- hang on a second. I just need...
First of all, your name is?
Charles Baudelaire.
And this is your house? Yes.
[ Laughs ] I know, right?
Oh, Meredith, you have to try this cleanse.
Like, I have dropped an entire size.
Yeah, and I have to get all my clothes tailored now, but--
Oh, my God. The cops are here.
[ Gasps ] Look at this.
Charles: And this is my wife, Camille.
Karen says that Skip is missing.
[ Gasps ] How awful.
Oh, God. Did you hear that?
Apparently, now our handyman is missing.
Okay. I need to unpack all of this.
I think the fastest way to do it would be
to get a statement from you first.
Officer Juarez, will you please
take the Baudelaires into the living room?
Sure. Sir, ma'am, do you mind?
I'm super confused, but okay.
Camille: Hey, Meredith, I have to go.
But, girl, you have to try this cleanse.
I'm serious.
This is why it took so long to call you guys.
Nolan: Because you're doing something illegal.
No. No.
Jake and I, we have gone straight.
I am working here as a nanny.
And he is a handyman.
Like I said, a lot to unpack. Let's stay on track.
You said Jake disappeared?
Mm-hmm.
Babe. Hey!
Hey, what-- what time-- what time they back?
Like 3:00.
3:00. Alright.
Remind me to clear that security footage, alright?
We don't want another mishap
like that last Halloween situation.
Yeah. That's true.
Oh!
I'mma get me another beer.
You want anything?
Yeah.
Can you see if they got that lobster salad?
Lobster salad. Yeah.
Yeah, I'll get you lobster salad.
Lobster salad! All day.
Lobster salad life.
Ooh! You love it?
Lobster sa--
Okay, so Dim walked into the hallway at 2:03 p. m.
But there are no cameras in that hallway. Right.
So he walked out of this shot at 2:03.
[ Beeps ]
And never emerged from the hallway.
We have hours more footage of those two rooms,
but Dim never reappears. [ Beeping ]
Interviewer: That's unusual, to say the least.
Do you have a theory on what happened?
No, but Juicy sure did.
Okay.
Alien abduction.
Oh, yeah. Later, she added, uh,
"portal to another dimension."
But she didn't appreciate your suggestion.
Spontaneous combustion.
Interviewer: Oh. Like the drummers in Spinal Tap.
Thank you for getting the reference.
So we opened up an investigation.
Most likely the explanation is just that
there was a glitch in the security system.
Interviewer: Right. But why wouldn't he tell Juicy
where he was going?
Relationships are complicated.
Every couple has their secrets, you know?
No matter how strong their moral compasses may be.
Mm.
Which is something Jake and Sava clearly didn't have.
Do Tim and I keep secrets from each other?
I mean... nothing big.
I-I feel that honesty is the most important thing
in a relationship.
I'm literally sitting in this office
because of a secret she kept.
Despite everything, it really did seem
like Dim and Juicy loved each other.
Which made what happened next so tragic.
7-Lincoln-7.
Code 6 at 911 call location.
Any clarity on the smell they reported?
Dispatch: That's a negative, 7-Lincoln-7.

Aaron: I mean, it's an alley in L. A.
They all smell. It'd be a miracle if it didn't.

7-Lincoln-7.
Send an R. A. to my location,
and alert Sergeant Grey.
I just found a body, and it's Sergeant Tim Bradford.
What?
Give me that.
No, it's not. I'm at the station.
I-It was Dim, obviously.
But, you know, in the moment, I-I-I thought it was Tim.
And, um...
you know, anybody could have made that mistake.
He's not wrong. They looked so much alike.
My mind broke a little when I saw Dim's body.
Interviewer: Why were you there?
We responded to Aaron's call for an ambulance,
but there was nothing we could do.
Dim was... way dead. Yeah.
Rigor mortis had come and gone, blowfly eggs had been laid,
but hair slippage hadn't started yet,
which placed the time of death
approximately 30 hours before Aaron found the body.
So around 6:00 p. m. the day of Jake's disappearance.
Interviewer: Did it bother you, seeing his body?
What do you mean?
To see a version of yourself dead in a dumpster,
no matter how much you protest
that you don't see the resemblance,
I mean, it had to be a little disconcerting.
Yeah, a little, I guess.
I have nightmares.
Interviewer: Do you think Tim does?
No.
You know, he's been doing the job a lot longer than I have,
so his walls are pretty high.
But, you know, they have to be.
Otherwise, the constant violence would just consume you.
Sounds like a part of you is envious
that he can divorce himself from feeling a lot more easily.
No, I...
Listen.
Empathy can be painful, but the alternative,
at least for me, is unthinkable.
I do this job to help people.
You know, I have to feel for them.
Do the walls make it hard to be in a relationship with Tim?
No.
But that's because I know, behind those walls,
he's just a big softy.
Do I look like a big softy?
No, sir.
So, Officer Thorsen found the body.
Dim disappeared from the mansion at 2:03 p. m.
and was killed four hours later.
So we had new mysteries to solve.
How did Dim get out of the house?
Where was he for those missing four hours?
And how did he end up shot dead in a dumpster?
Unfortunately, there were no security cameras
around the alley,
so they had no idea who dumped the body.
It was at this point that Detective Lopez and I
were assigned to the investigation.
[ Elevator bell dings ] Miss Wu, thank you for coming in.
Yeah. Sure.
What's with all the cameras?
They're filming a documentary.
I would love to interview you at some point.
Lopez: Don't worry about them. Let's go talk.
Uh, you want a water, coffee, anything?
No, thank you.
Okay, this way.
Go. Go. Get ahead of them.
Did you guys find anything?
Harper: Uh, we-- we're following up on a couple of leads,
but, uh, we need your help to get some clarity on some things.
Do you mind if we record this?
No. I-- Whatever you need.
How you holding up?
[ Sighs ] I mean, I'm not gonna lie.
You know, I'm struggling.
I still can't believe he's dead.
Look, we know you and Mr. Butler
were engaged in a host of illegal activities,
but we're not focused on that right now. Yeah.
All we care about is catching the person who killed him.
So, if you are holding back because you're afraid
that you are gonna get in trouble, stop.
You need to come clean.

Sgt. Grey: In the days following Dim's disappearance,
officers were searching the property, looking for him.
In the confusion after finding Dim's body,

Interviewer: Whose body did they find?
♪
Officer: Holy [bleep]
It's the Baudelaires' nanny, Holland Po.
What-- I thought she was out of the picture
before Sava and Jake showed up.
Maybe they popped her before Dim beat up the handyman.
Well, the nanny's been dead over a month.
The handyman got beat up three weeks ago.
Why kill her and then wait to strong-arm him?
Let's go ask her.
Lopez: Tell me about Holland Po.
Who's that?
The Baudelaires' nanny before you.
Oh. I mean, I-I never met her.
She was gone before we even knew about the Baudelaires.
Harper: Can you prove that?
Turns out she could. Yeah.
Dim and Juicy were actually on vacation in the Caribbean
at the time of the nanny's murder.
Paid for by the sale of the property
they stole from Lance Bass.
Which turned our attention
to the most obvious suspects--
The Baudelaires. The Bau-- The Baudelaires.

Charles: It's uncanny.
It's freaky is what it is.
You look like twins.
Okay, let's get back on track here.
You say that Holland did not show up for work that Tuesday.
And you never heard from her?
That's right.
No call, no text, no e-mail, no Snapchat,
no ClipTalk, no-- We get it.
And you were never aware that she went missing? Charles: No.
We were paying her under the table,
so I guess no one knew to contact us.
Should we have our lawyer here?
That's up to you.
But then it becomes a whole thing.
Yeah. Right now, we are just trying to get some clarity.
It can't be a coincidence
that two people that work for you showed up murdered.
You're looking at the wrong people.
I mean, we were scammed by Karen and Skip--
Jake and Sava. Whatever their real names are.
We're the real victims here. Of course.
But without another suspect,
you can see why we are talking to you.
Jesse.
Who's Jesse?
Harper: So, Mr. Long,
you worked for the Baudelaires as a contractor for three years.
That's right.
Lopez: What exactly did you do for them?
I'm sorry. I can't say.
I signed an NDA. I don't want to get sued.
Getting sued is the least of your problems right now.
Let's just say that I handled everything
from repairs to new construction.
What can you tell me about Holland Po?
What do you want to know?
I mean...
she worked as a nanny while I did some repairs on the house.
Nice girl.
Did you two get along?
Yeah. I mean, I didn't see her much.
You know, you stopped working for the Baudelaires
less than a week after she disappeared.
Got a better gig.

Great. So, what can you tell me about Emir Sadik?
Nothing.

It's common knowledge that Mr. Sadik is a Turkish national
who works for Meyer Balik,
an infamous international arms dealer.
I'm not prepared to speak on that. Okay.
Can you explain the connection to Jake Butler?
I'm not prepared to speak on that.
How about the mystery item that Emir was so intent on getting
from Mr. Butler and Ms. Wu?
I'm not prepared to speak on that.
Then why did you agree to the interview?
The agency is committed to transparency wherever possible.
It turns out Dim and that arms dealer--
Meyer Balik?
Yeah. That's the guy.
Dim and Meyer were distant cousins.
I found out through a back-channel source at the DOD
that the, uh-- the agency had been surveilling Emir
for-- for months now, while he and Meyer were working
on a massive arms deal for the Iranians.
But during the deal-making process,
Emir went to Barbados.
Where he met with Dim.
But not Juicy?

weren't just a random target?
Jake just said they were crazy rich
and that we'd be able to party for a year
off of what we'd get out of their house.
Well, what we now know
is that Emir pointed Jake at the Baudelaires.
But it wasn't connected to the Iranian arms deal
that the CIA was so keen to stop.
It turns out, among the stolen antiquities
in the Baudelaires' vault was a very special rifle.
The miquelet, one of the earliest
and most sturdy flintlocks ever made.
And the most famous miquelet belonged to the Turkish sultan
Osman II, or Osman the Young.
I-I like to read.
You sure do. [ Both chuckle ]

as a proud Turk and a professional weapon aficionado,

Lucy: With Emir out of the picture as a suspect,
we went back to the car crash.
Somebody tried to run Jake and Sava off the road
two days before Jake was killed.
If it wasn't Emir, who was it?
Well, we had previously
gotten warrants for Jake's phone records,
but Sava told us
that, uh, Jake always carried a burner phone with him,
and we didn't have that number.
Interviewer: Until the incident with Emir.
Exactly.
Even though the CIA kept us from interrogating Emir,
they did search Emir's cellphone records
and came up with an anonymous number
that we ultimately tracked back to Dim.
Let's just say that there were several text messages
sent to and from that phone that were very... revealing.
I... Interviewer: What do you mean?
Jake was clearly cheating on Sava,
and he was the Shakespeare of Sexting.
It was [chuckles]
Would you read some of those texts for me?

[ Chuckles ]

No. You couldn't get Lucy to read them.

I'm serious. Okay.
I'm not reading them. Okay.
Interviewer: Would you mind reading some of these texts
out loud?

I'm not saying that.

Let me just find some PG content for you.
Oh. Here we go.
"Stop calling. I told you it's over."
The breakup text.
It was the, uh, proverbial smoking gun.
The text that would determine Dim's fate.
And just for clarity-- who was Dim sending these texts to?
Who was he having an affair with?
Uh, Lisa... Lisa Miller.
Li-- Miller? Lisa Miller?
That's Juicy's BFF.
Lisa: So, what are we doing here?
Girl, you know what we're doing.
No.
For, like, posperiority.
[ Chuckles ] I think it's "posterity."
Mnh-mnh.
That don't sound right, girl.
Okay. So...
I'm waiting for Jake to get out of prison. Mm-hmm.
He just did six months on a drug charge,
and I found out today he's getting released early.
Ooh. For good behavior?

Yeah. I missed you, too.
[ Chuckles ] Yo, Lisa!
[ Lisa screams ]
[ Laughs ] Hey!
At that point, it all started coming together.
Lisa couldn't handle the fact
that Jake was breaking up with her,
so she tried to run them off the road.
Look out! And when that failed,
she called up Jake, begged for his forgiveness,
and asked him to meet her.
Yeah, when he showed up,
she shot him with a .22-caliber pistol,
then dumped his body in the dumpster.
So, we went to arrest her.
I think that's her.

The thing about old guns is
that they're very imprecise weapons,

could have punched a hole in Nolan's bulletproof vest.
He's just lucky she didn't shoot him in the face.
Uh, not getting shot in the face-- that's a daily goal.
Yeah, it's true.

don't get shot in the face.

Well, uh, so Lisa was going to prison
for the murder of Jake and the attempted murder of Nolan.
But we were left with the question
of what to do with Juicy.
At the end of the day, it didn't make sense to charge her.
We could prove Dim's involvement,
but all we really had on Juicy was conspiracy.
D.A.'s office debated for a while,
but ultimately, we decided to cut her loose.
Interviewer: How did you feel about that?
On the whole...
good.
Whatever her faults, Juicy...
Sava had suffered a great tragedy--
betrayal, murder.
I'm hopeful that she'll take this opportunity
to learn from the experience, you know,
to change.
Of course she said that.
Listen. People never change, okay?
Sava is gonna end up in cuffs, one way or another.

Interviewer: Does it shake you at all--
the fact that your doppelgangers' relationship
was so dysfunctional?
I-- That's an unfair characterization.
It wasn't dysfunctional.
I mean, Jake cheated with Sava's best friend
after trying to cut her out of a big money deal.
Fair enough. But that doesn't change the question.
What are you implying?
That-- That we might suffer the same fate
because of a couple of people
who looked a tiny bit like us that were misfits?
I think it's a reasonable question.
