Armstrong Reveals How He Framed Nolan - The Rookie 

During Armstrong's first episode I knew something was off but then I grew to like him and now look where we are

If someone is gonna stand alongside Nolan it has to be Harper, he helped her with her kid, plus they were in this together.

If only nolan was wearing a body cam

The broken walls in Nolan's home support the idea that he was *looking* for something. Why would he tear apart a house he just finished remodeling if he knew where the stash is?

I’m so mad Nolan didn’t at least tell Harper where he was going and that Armstrong called him and confessed. Damn crooked ass Armstrong

I was absolutely devastated at the ending and couldn't believe that Armstrong was such a nasty piece of work. I really hope that they renew the show. The show has been absolutely brilliant and addictive. I also have great respect for the person or team that chose the songs as you have given me some amazingly brilliant but under-rated songs to listen to.

Just a few observations. Nolan had the foresight to wear a bullet proof vest so maybe he had the foresight to record the conversation and/or tell Harper what was going on. Another thing, yes there is evidence hidden at his house but those are classified police files. Nolan, as a rookie, doesn't have access to those. If he had tried to get any of those files he would have been caught. One last thing, Nolan and Harper spent the day looking at the evidence against Armstrong and trying to find rock solid proof so Harper knows what is going on and has Nolan's back. Also I see Grey seeing through this. The man is not stupid, he will listen to Nolan's side and believe it. Partly because of the evidence, such as the lack of access to those files, partly because of Harper and partly because he knows Nolan.

If the show doesnt get renewed and we end off like this im gonna be soooo pissed.

Aside from all the plot holes and non-believable things that happen in this show for the sake of making a tv show.. Nick Armstrong's disappearing/re-appearing lisp is one of the most interesting additions to the show..

This season finale was crazy. Love the whole series. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The worst part is, this hasn’t been renewed yet...

I love this show. I love how everyone has their minute in the sun, i love the dynamic between all the characters, i love how the couplings arn't too cliche and i especially love that even though nolan is the main character, the sun dosn't shine out of his ass.

Why is this always happening in every cop show I watch. There is always gonna be framing someone

The way he says "Everybody falls down" is so good.

I thought right here that Nick had a change of heart and wanted to help John. Too bad he died a bad guy. I liked the guy.

I seriously hope Nolan was smart enough to have been wearing a recorder of some sort. They can still pull that spin in the opening of the next season. Nolan being arrested and then pulling out a recorder he had on him, getting Armstrong's confession. That is the ONLY sure way out for him. If there is no season 3, I will be SO PISSED. And this will go down along with my top most hated finales. (The others are Perception, Scorpion and The Finder.) PLEASE BE RENEWED!

0:28 I think this is my favorite line from this episode. Speaking from experience, Nolan is telling the truth, and I think Armstrong is a prime example of what not to do when you fall down.

Armstrong was a good Detective, a nice side character, but sad that it turned that away.

This is why you never trust the guy with a perfect record.

I'm gonna be so pissed if there's no season 3

Wahoo what an ending! Loved every moment of it and was hooked to see how would Armstrong react Really challenging situation for Nolan! Even if he were to record the conversation, Nick didn't exactly say something that can be used against him, cannot wait for season 3!!

SEASON THREE IMMEDIATELYYYY

This part was broke my heart. Until this scene I really wanted to believe in Armstrong. When he start to shoot Nolan, I lost my every faith. I'm disappointed, because he was a nice and interesting character, the other people in the department loves him...

Love this show. I hope it gets renewed for a third season

I can't believe the ending, damn and now we will have to wait for months for SEASON 3, NO WAY THIS WILL BE CANCELLED. The only thing going for Nolan, he told Harper and they been investigating this. Harper has Nolan back and his team. Also, the files Serj had, came from easy access, access Nick would have had. Yeah, Nick may have set this up but no way will anyone believe it. Nick had a day to put this in motion, he would have made mistakes. Also, the files may have been found in Nolan house, where is the trail. Harper better tell her boss what is going on. Also, Nolan was an idiot, he should have told Harper about Rosalind and him seeing Nick. I don't think they will drag this out though, end in max 2 episodes and I think Nick will die in the end, suicide or suicide by cop.

Hope there is a season 3 and that armstrong admits the truth to grey and the team

Damn I was rooting for Armstrong I was really hoping it was all just a big misunderstanding smmmmh

Once Nolan said "You are a coward" I died

THEY LEFT US ON A CLIFF HANGER

All John had to do was keep the radio on, and everyone would have heard the confession

Just saying, Officer Bradford (Eric Winter) posted on his instagram saying #letsgoseason3 so season 3 is highly likely to happen.

I'm just so curious what will happen to Officer Nolan when season 3 comes. 😬😬😬

What a cliffhanger this episode was. We need season three.

Loved this series

I knew Armstrong was a little unhinged but I honestly never expected him to be dirty.

Man come on season 3 I love this show

Nobody: Villains in anime:

This ending made me so mad I need season 3 omg not Nolan! He is nothing but kind

this was the number 1 season finale of any show that messed me up!!!! they better not cancel this show!!!!!

Love this series

Okay now this is very interesting! Can't wait to watch this.💯✨🙏🏼🕵️

this was such a tv show finale though. youre telling me john didnt have ridiculous levels of security at his house? he already had someone break in and try to kill him, he had a hit put on him by a high level gang...he wouldve surely at least had cameras, but more than likely would have advanced security. the second armstrong shows up at his house he wouldve been done. Like not even a doorbell cam? not to mention the fact he told nobody he was confronting armstrong, and had no insight to make records of anything, or have a device recording armstrong admitting everything

omg loved harold on LOST and romeo + juliet movie

This is nice even though I am watching this mid-way.

This is why every cop should wear a bulletproof vest, no matter how uncomfortable it is. It is more comfortable than a hospital bed,

The broken walls supports the idea that he was hiding something God damn it.

Nick was so cool Character for first episodes with him....

I got so disappointed that Nick was dirty, because I really liked him as a character.

ABC would be stupid to not renew the show. I just read that this was how the season finale ended, the season had 20 episodes and ending on episode 20. Apparently, the outcome would be dealt in season 3, episode 1 so the truth of Nolan innocence would be out by the end of episode 1. So thankfully, this will not drag.

This last part had me on the edge man. fuckin loved it and cant wait to see how it ends.

I just knew something was up with Armstrong from the moment I saw him

omg im so sad it ended season 2 this way i need season 3

Why is everyone framing Nathan Fillion. 3XK was framing him back in Castle xD

We need season 3!

Yo such a cliffhanger when the police roll up on Nolan trying to find/ get rid of the planted evidence

Why arent the season episodes in order??? It confuses me when im watching. ☹

Now he calls Beckett 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

In case anyone was worried, Season 3 is back in production now!

Wow, another cliffhanger like last season

😑😑😑😑😑 *That's why he's a rookie. You can't do Tim like that*

What I did not understand: Why did Nolan 1. get involved in a meeting at all and 2. let his antagonist choose the meeting place? And why didn't he record Armstrong during the conversation/interrogation? - He's usually such a smart cop.

Boys we are good if you remember when Nolan grabs the headboard of his bed there was a finger print left on the headboard, Armstrong will be get busted!!

There better be a season 3 or I will lose my shit!!!!!

Great episode, but let´s face it, they took it out of the galley. Armstrong was a great cop and a great friend for Nolan. In one episode they made him corrupt, unsensible and Nolan's best enemy. They made a total new ark in the fist ten minutes. I didn´t like where they went with Armstrong character, but it was a good episode.

If John kept his finger down on the radio to conyrol, the confession would have been recorded to dispatch.😂

From that very first episode, I knew something was up. Especially when he says he does not use computers as he does not trust them and that he writes everything down. RED FLAG!

Armstrong wasn't perfect for sure, but I liked him. He unfortunately took bad habits along the way, turning him away from being a great cop, because he was. And despite him turning dirty cop, he helped Nolan and encouraged him. I wish they hadn't killed him off, he could have come back. Like Ali Larter's character who got written off as well.

The Rookie has been renewed

Harold Perrineau is a great actor but it seems he has a reputation for playing slimy and duplicitous characters (Michael on Lost, Manny in Constantine's lone season on NBC).

This was just on tv here lastweek in Australia 🤣

Man I don’t think the police department believes that Nolan is crooked.I hope he had cameras in his house.

I know many people will hate me but Armstrong is still my fave I was devastated when I found out he was bent. Him an Nolan has such a food thing goin on he seemed like a genuinely good guy😔

You're about to confront him and you don't think to turn your phone onto record?.

Essa série é muito top

He was the first one popped into my mind when the gun gone missing, but I think deep down he was a good cop that would put his own life in jeopardy for Chen. Obviously he’s too far gone here, should have just ran instead of framing Nolan, maybe even a redemption moment before dying.

Nathan Fillion -> John Nolan -> Nolan North -> Nathan Drake. Imagine how perfect. The fan film was amazing, but I want Nathan Fillion to BE Nathan Drake

He was to good to be real🥲

second time this guy has been framed. first time was by 3xk jerry tyson. but that time he had the best detective in new york in his corner

God if ur listening please help Nolan I don’t think my hart could take it

Hey! That guy is on the Unusuals with Jeremy Renner! He was a funny cop on that show. Definitely not corrupt like he is here 😅

I need to know how this ends plz 😢 i want season 3

Damn man! How about not posting spoilers for the people in countries waiting for the show!

Thanks for the spoilers - couldn't just wait 24h for us europeans right

Jesus, spoiler alert... at least wait a day

Nolan was acting like a dumb crooked cop in this episode....breaking and entering, and what the hell was he going to do once he got to house and found the planted evidence and money. He should have at least told his TO

The correct step is to complete the arrest and then speak with your union attorney. Don't return home. Certainly don't run away from an officer involved shooting to cover up evidence of a crime.

Terrible ending to the season, the most by the book cop and he ignores everything hes learned

the real shame here is nolan as a cop did start recording with his cellphone before confronting west

I cant wait for season 3 😄

Funny how this video was released November 5th and Harold Perrineau was in Oz a long time and his crime was ''Prisoner number 95H-522 Augustus Hill, convicted November 6th 95, possession of illegal substances, murder in the 2nd degree. Sentence? Life imprisonment''

season 3 pleaseeee

Officer Nolan should’ve been officer, Stanton

Annoying thing is this ended on a cliff hanger just like the last one.

#TeamChenford!

It's the mannie actor from Constantine Show

Augustus Hill is alive and walking? Dude hasn't aged a day since Oz

Please tell me this isn’t the last episode of the season

Bring back season 3 please! :D

Boy I swear if they dont renew this show for another season .... FFS they better man #RenewTheRookie

Wait was Armstrong played by the same actor who played Augustus Hill from OZ?
