Get a rush job on the

blood work for both kids.

Yeah. I'm on it. And, uh, by the way,

Brent's been grounded from skateboarding.

Why? What'd he do?

A security guard caught

him on private property.

That's why I keep telling you,

you can't leave this kid alone.

You know what? He's a kid,

he's gonna make mistakes,

but you gotta give him the

benefit of the doubt.

Well, that view blew up in

your face once, remember?

Oh, here we go... you're just gonna keep

bringing up Marcus Alva, aren't you?

I think it's a valid point, don't you? You

cut him slack, just like you do for Brent.

Right.

- OK, can I go do my job now?

- Yeah. Please, do.

She's back from the

hospital already.

Yep. They said she's fine.

Langford.

Grandma's in no way

a suitable guardian.

She just had a kidney transplant.

- Pills are everywhere.

- Then, I guess I'm gonna have

to get a guardian for the girl,

and I'll call Social Services

and have them go check on Grandma.

Seems to me the kid is the

guardian of the old lady.

All right. Thanks, West.

Hey, Holly.

Hey...

How's my grandma?

She's OK.

But I think you and I both know she's in no

condition to be your guardian right now.

Is there anyone else that

can take care of her?

No.

Then, they're probably gonna

have to move her in the morning.

To where?

A state-run nursing home.

Uh, probably Happy Meadow.

It's the best place for her to be

right now till this blows over.

So here's what's gonna happen.

You're gonna have to spend

the night at juvenile hall.

OK?

Just try and get

some sleep tonight.

- Langford.

- Got the prelim toxicology

reports for Blake and Holly.

Both kids had the

prescription medication

Centanyl in their systems.

But Brooks had twice

the amount as Hamilton,

and she had a blood

alcohol content of .12.

God, so she was hammered.

Listen to this:
Brooks

was also on an MAOI

inhibitor for depression.

It causes a dangerous

drug interaction with Centanyl.

It's worse than alcohol.

Right. So drug-wise,

it was the perfect storm.

For Blake. Unfortunately,

it seems Centanyl

is another strong pain med that's

catching on as a recreational drug.

And Holly was definitely

under the influence too?

- No doubt.

- Right. Thanks.

So it looks like grandma

paid no premiums,

but had great health coverage.

Prescriptions from

legitimate doctors, but...

Well, if Holly got all these online,

this is some weapons-grade hacking.

Do you think we have

enough for intent to sell?

- Is that a trick question?

- Detective?

Make sure you bag and tag all the

pharmaceuticals in this room.

Yep.

Yeah, you're right, that'd be

really great. Thank you. Hey...

- Hey.

- What were the captain
