The Rookie

Officer Harper subjects Officer Aaron to a plain‑clothes exercise. Meanwhile, the rest of the team work to track down the perpetrators responsible for killing the witnesses who are due to testify in the forthcoming grand‑jury case as the deadline approaches.

Hit List is a television programme presented in the format of an episode, forming part of a larger series that follows law‑enforcement officers as they tackle complex cases. The show is built around the day‑to‑day challenges faced by a specialised team, offering a glimpse into both procedural work and the personal dynamics that arise within a police unit. In this particular installment, Officer Harper takes Officer Aaron under his wing for a plain‑clothes drill. Harper pushes Aaron through a series of undercover‑style scenarios designed to test his instincts, judgement and ability to operate without the usual uniformed support. The exercise is meant to sharpen Aaron’s skills in blending into civilian environments while still maintaining a keen awareness of potential threats. At the same time, the rest of the squad is busy hunting down the individuals responsible for the murders of several witnesses. These killings are directly linked to a forthcoming grand‑jury proceeding, and the team is under pressure to locate the perpetrators before the case moves forward. Their investigation involves tracking leads, interrogating suspects and piecing together the chain of events that led to the fatal attacks. The episode intertwines the two storylines, juxtaposing the intense training session with the urgent field work. As Harper mentors Aaron, the broader team races against the clock to bring the killers to justice, underscoring the high stakes of protecting witnesses and ensuring the grand jury can proceed unhindered.
