00:00What do you want?
00:02What do you want?
00:04What do you want?
00:06What do you want?
00:08I wanna tell you all my dirty little secrets
00:10I wanna give it up
00:12Maybe you can keep it
00:14I wanna-
00:16Ten minutes long.
00:18Sussling down the north roof access stairwell
00:20behind a locked door. Taking the south stairwell
00:22to cut him off at the street.
00:24You could be the magic with the name of the light
00:28All you wanna do is earn the price
00:30What do you want?
00:32Oh, that's a first.
00:42Clear.
00:44Clear.
00:46Nolan.
00:52Look.
01:00Seven out of fifteen.
01:02How do I rate her that in?
01:04That's 4-15.
01:06Mass vigilante.
01:12I'm gonna win for you
01:14Like I know you want me to do
01:16Are you cleaning or are you just moving the mess around?
01:24I can't find my keys because someone keeps letting our toddler play with them.
01:28I cannot be late for my meeting with the captain.
01:30Well, maybe it could be seen as a power play, making him wait to hear your demands.
01:36If not demands, they're respectful requests.
01:38Now, if he doesn't adjust them to my satisfaction, then they become demands.
01:42Hm. Found them.
01:44Key fob casserole.
01:46She is a culinary visionary, just like her mom.
01:48Speaking of dinner, uh, what time will you be home?
01:50I invited a few friends over.
01:52Our friends or your friends?
01:54They're community activists.
01:56In that case, I am busy. I am filling in on patrol and cases are just piling up.
02:00Now, come on. The latest corruption scandal exposed a lot of dirty cops and people want answers.
02:04Isn't that why you are going to see the captain?
02:06I am just gonna tell them the same thing that I am telling you.
02:09We are handling it.
02:10The department is just as motivated to get bad cops off the street as you are.
02:17Alright, maybe not just as, but we are working on it.
02:19For now. Historically, there's always a lot of talk about accountability, but the second the press moves on, it's all swept under the rug.
02:26I think it would help if the community heard from an officer who shared their concerns.
02:31Someone like my gorgeous, smart, funny, talented, amazing wife.
02:39Fine.
02:40But that is just because you said I was funny and not enough people acknowledge that.
02:56that is just for a reason.
02:57I was so annoyed with it.
02:58We are so familiar with that.
02:59Don't tell her the sounds.
03:00That is how I could go.
03:01When you see the mic is too low.
03:02I was like to have a lot of information, even though.
03:03I was like oh my god.
03:04I was so scared.
03:05But that is the reason why I could go to another one.
03:06I was so scared of something.
03:07That is how I could go.
03:08That is my friend.
03:09Really nice.
03:10I like you.
03:11That is how I can go.
03:12Long time.
03:13We are always good.
03:14I got you.
03:17My son we are poor.
03:18I got you.
03:19I got you.
03:20I know you.
03:21It ain't why I'm sorry and I'm sorry,
03:22I'm sorry I'm sorry.
03:23What the hell are you doing, Boot?
03:35I'm going to work, sir.
03:36Yeah, I'm not blind.
03:38I'm asking why you've been coming to work like you're leaving for a six-month appointment.
03:40Well, this whole thing, it's a little cross-training trick I picked up from my high school football coach.
03:45Heavy backpack equals easy cardio.
03:47Well, do it on your own time.
03:48Cops don't walk to work.
03:49I know L.A. is not a walking city, but I didn't think y'all would care so much how I got myself places.
03:54I care when it's an officer's safety issue.
03:56Aren't you worried someone's going to jump me from my milk money?
03:58No.
03:59I'm worried that some hardcore criminal pissed at you for locking up his buddy might sneak it behind you and slit your throat.
04:03That'll put an abrupt ending to your easy cardio.
04:06You're a pretty intense guy, you know that?
04:08What's your point?
04:11Woo!
04:12Do we know what day it is?
04:15Yo, I can't believe it's finally plane closed there.
04:17I mean, it's normal to be nervous, right?
04:20Yeah, of course.
04:21And listen, Nolan wouldn't have authorized it if he wasn't sure you were ready.
04:25Yeah.
04:26Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.
04:27I bet your plane closed there was a breeze, huh?
04:29Actually, I almost washed out.
04:32But Nolan's not Tim.
04:34And I don't think he's going to mess with your head.
04:36Yeah.
04:37You need to mess with her head.
04:38The only way to make sure she's ready.
04:39Yeah, that's not exactly my style.
04:41Your style is also being evaluated today.
04:43But Wada's is a good cop.
04:45She messes up as much your failure as it is hers.
04:48Wait a minute.
04:48Lucy is a great cop, and you almost washed her out.
04:51I did.
04:52But you're not me.
04:53Everyone knows I'm an exceptional T.O.
04:55You, on the other hand, you have to prove yourself.
04:57It's the only way to prove a T.O. doesn't have to play mind games in order to train a good rookie.
05:02It's not enough to win.
05:04I have to crush Tim in this competition.
05:06Okay, so the contest is just about T.O. styles?
05:09I mean, what else would it be about?
05:11Nothing.
05:12She thinks it's about the breakup.
05:13And she's not alone.
05:15I am so over the breakup.
05:18We had friendly, professional competition long before we dated, and this is just that.
05:23So, back in uniform.
05:25How does it feel?
05:26Itchy.
05:27I am already sweating.
05:29But we are rooting for you today, Juarez.
05:32Patrol really cannot afford to lose another body right now.
05:35The boys are obsessed with this mass vigilante.
05:40Jack, too.
05:41Whoever he is, he isn't making my job any easier.
05:43Citizen's arrest is perfectly legal.
05:45Yeah, but false imprisonment isn't.
05:46And the fuzzy line between the two is for the jury to decide.
05:48Well, at least he isn't hurting anyone.
05:51Yet.
05:53I hope you don't mind, but the captain wants me to sit in on this morning's proceedings.
05:56None at all.
05:57Just don't think I'm gonna go easy because we're friendly.
05:59Of course not.
06:00I'll see you up there.
06:02Wow.
06:02Look at you.
06:03Reminds me of the first day we met.
06:05I hate it.
06:06Forgot how much these pants flatten out my ass.
06:08Well, it still looks pretty good to me.
06:10Pretty good?
06:11I moved to have my previous comments stricken from the record.
06:14You ready for your meeting?
06:15The real question is, are they ready for me?
06:18Okay, not one word.
06:20I was just gonna say thank you both for your sacrifice.
06:23The detectives owe you one.
06:24You've owed me 200 bucks since the Super Bowl.
06:26I want my money.
06:27Understood.
06:28But seriously, if I need a crime scene babysat today,
06:31I guess my first call.
06:34We should go.
06:35Yeah.
06:36Uh, have a good meeting.
06:37Thanks.
06:37See you, Mike.
06:38Yeah.
06:39Be careful today.
06:40Not a fan of that detective.
06:41Not at liberty to say.
06:44Didn't see your boot in the locker room, Chen.
06:45He's late for roll call.
06:46You'll be in the hole before the day even starts.
06:48He has a few minutes.
06:50He has 43 seconds.
06:51Hey, uh, have you guys seen sex?
06:53No.
06:55It's in the minutes.
07:00That's right.
07:01It's on time for me.
07:02All right, everybody, settle down.
07:03It is 8 a.m. on the dot, which means roll call has started.
07:06And Officer Chen's boot is officially...
07:09You're late, boot.
07:10Late.
07:10Sorry, I didn't...
07:12Officer Chen, what's an acceptable excuse for a rookie to be late to roll call?
07:14There isn't one.
07:15That's right, which means today you'll be starting in the loss column.
07:19Moving on.
07:20Lieutenant Gray is in a meeting with a captain and a community activist.
07:24That representative is James Murray.
07:26Look, I know we all have friends lose their pensions over this mess, but they made that bet.
07:30They cross lines we can't cross.
07:32Now it's up to us to regain the community's trust.
07:34Otherwise we'll be dealing with nonsense like this.
07:38Now I'm sure you've all heard about this jackass running around trying to be some masked avenger.
07:42He's called the Watcher.
07:44Yeah, I'm not calling him that.
07:48He's just an attention-seeking wannabe desperate for internet fame.
07:52You might be right, but there has been a measurable spike in crime in the neighborhood since we've been shorthanded.
07:57Look, if the residents start thinking this clown is more reliable than us, we have a huge problem.
08:01That's why today we're going to be doing some good old-fashioned community policing.
08:05You mean foot patrol?
08:06Yeah, we're not doing that.
08:11Fine, but only to show up that masked weirdo.
08:13Everyone, get out there, shake hands, kiss some babies, hand out business cards.
08:18Let the residents feel your presence.
08:20Everyone except Nolan and Juarez, who will be on plainclothes day.
08:23All right, that's it.
08:23Be safe out there.
08:24Oh, kind of funny.
08:28The one day you guys are back in uniform, I get to wear my savings.
08:31I'll share.
08:31It won't be so funny if Selena doesn't pass.
08:36Why wouldn't?
08:36Oh, how much coffee is too much coffee?
08:41How many fingers am I holding?
08:43I do, but they're vibrating.
08:44Okay.
08:45Take a deep breath.
08:48All right.
08:49You got this.
08:51All right.
08:51Let's go over how this is going to go.
08:52Today, I am here in a purely observational capacity.
08:56I will not advise, assist, or help you in any way.
08:59Every decision will be yours.
09:02If you get into some trouble that you can't handle, I will step in.
09:05Just know that that will affect your final evaluation.
09:08Understood.
09:09Mount up.
09:09Now, to help simulate the experience of riding solo, this will be the last time I speak to
09:22you until the end of shift.
09:24Finally.
09:24Usually, I can't get you to zip it.
09:28Are you serious?
09:30Okay.
09:30Here we go.
09:31And by we, I mean me, because I am riding solo.
09:35You are so lucky.
09:36If Sergeant Bradford was your T.O., you'd be spending the rest of your shift scrubbing
09:39holding cells with a toothbrush.
09:42Well, I'm glad that he's not my T.O.
09:47Do you want to run alongside the shop while you reconsider your attitude?
09:50No, ma'am.
09:51Sorry.
09:54Good.
09:58Because I don't want to be that kind of T.O.
10:00But you showing up late for your second ever roll call, either you don't respect me or...
10:05Of course not.
10:06Well, you're not taking your training seriously, Ridley.
10:11Officer Chin, I promise you that is not the case.
10:14I...
10:15I know it's no excuse, but I had a doctor's appointment this morning, and it ran...
10:21It ran late.
10:22So, I...
10:23It's not...
10:23It's...
10:23It's not going to happen again.
10:27Good.
10:27So, since I'm making all the decisions today, I guess that means I can do...
10:33Yes.
10:34Damn.
10:35Okay, I thought for sure that'd get you to crack.
10:35Okay.
10:36I have an in-progress 2-11 home invasion at 6-2-3 laden.
10:38RP is homeowner Walter Fields 82.
10:42Advice RP to lock himself in the bathroom and find out if there are any firearms in the house.
10:55RP has locked himself in the first floor bathroom and is armed with a handgun.
11:02Okay.
11:03Control responding code 3.
11:047-1-15 shots, firing strike 2-8-2-7 laden.
11:17We are...
11:18I am code 6 on scene.
11:20Making entry.
11:21Send backup.
11:34Police!
11:35I am inside your house!
11:38Come out with your hands up!
11:41Call it in.
11:51I need an RA to my location.
11:53Teenage female GSW to the chest.
11:56She is conscious and breathing.
11:58Homeowner, this is the police.
12:00Is there anyone in that bathroom with you?
12:02No.
12:03Did you find a guy?
12:04I think I got him.
12:06Alright, I'm going to need you to put that gun down.
12:09Is it down?
12:11Yeah.
12:12Alright.
12:13I'm going to need you to open the door.
12:15Come toward me nice and slow with your hands where I can see them.
12:21Nice and slow.
12:22Just walk towards me, okay?
12:23I'm going to have to put you in handcuffs.
12:25What?
12:26I'm the one who's being robbed.
12:28No, I understand.
12:29It's standard procedure.
12:30It's not up for debate.
12:31I know, but the...
12:33Oh my God, no.
12:34No.
12:35No, let me go.
12:36That's my granddaughter.
12:37Let me go!
12:38I heard footsteps in the hall.
12:42There have been a lot of break-ins around your leg.
12:45So I thought...
12:47Listen, I...
12:48I need to go to the hospital to make sure she's okay.
12:51I'm sorry, sir, but...
12:52Oh, please.
12:53She's only 17.
12:54They have to save her.
12:55They're going to do everything they can to help her, okay?
13:02Fill me in.
13:03It's...
13:04It's...
13:09I ain't playing close to A.
13:10Fine, let's hear it.
13:12Well, victim is the 17-year-old granddaughter of homeowner Walter Fields.
13:17An open window in the laundry room suggests she may have been trying to sleep back in after a night out, and he mistook her for an intruder.
13:22Thanks.
13:23I'll take it from here.
13:24Okay, well, do you need me to take Walter in for processing?
13:26Well, he's been through enough.
13:27He doesn't need to see the back of his shop.
13:29I'll handle it.
13:31I...
13:32I don't expect you to respond because I know you're not here today, but I need to say something.
13:44I thought I did a pretty good job handling that call, so I don't really understand why you stepped in to take leave.
13:49You know, besides the fact that I'm supposed to be making all the decisions today, it undermined my authority with a man who is already more inclined to trust someone who looks like you over someone who looks like me.
13:59Just something to think about.
14:09Community policing in a city the size of L.A. is a lot more complicated than whatever you're used to back in Texas.
14:13You mean I can't just pop down to the bingo hall and shake hands with all my cousins and them?
14:17Uh, excuse me, officers?
14:19Yes, ma'am.
14:20What can we do you for?
14:21Would you mind helping me bring my garbage bin in?
14:24It's so heavy.
14:25Yes, ma'am.
14:26I'd be happy to.
14:27You know, I would have thought a woman in as good a shape as yourself would have no problem bringing this bin in.
14:32Well, just because a woman can do something herself doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy watching a handsome young man do it for her.
14:37Alright, if there's nothing else you need from us, ma'am, we're gonna need to be moving on.
14:40You have a great day, ma'am.
14:419-1-1 is a number if you need us again.
14:43Let's go. She knows what 9-1-1 is.
14:44Well, you told me to be friendly.
14:46That kind of friendly will get you a suit.
14:47Next time, just focus on professional.
14:49Excuse me, sir?
14:50Do you have a minute to talk?
14:51Depends.
14:52What about?
14:53Well, this is Officer Chen.
14:54I'm Officer Ridley.
14:55We're introducing ourselves around the neighborhood.
14:57We're trying to get a sense of what we can do to better serve the community.
15:00Better?
15:01Son, are you new?
15:02Actually, yes, I am.
15:05Um, you're gonna have to forgive me.
15:07I'm still learning.
15:08Okay.
15:09Well, then, I'll educate you.
15:12This used to be a nice neighborhood to raise a family.
15:16And then the gangs started moving in and the drugs.
15:19And now the only time the police ever seem to show up is to make an easy arrest.
15:24Or to use us as an example for young officers like yourself.
15:28See the watcher there?
15:30Now, I don't know if the watcher is helping, hurting, or just playing crazy.
15:34But at least he's here.
15:36And you'd be surprised what a big difference that makes.
15:39Well, sir, next time you got a problem, you can contact me directly.
15:44And I will personally make sure that the police respond.
15:47I just might.
15:52Ridley.
15:53How's good?
15:55I would not have agreed to this if I knew we were doing foot patrol.
15:58Tell me about it.
15:59And James is having people over for dinner tonight, so I can't even put my feet up when I get home.
16:04Thanks for the invite.
16:05Oh, trust me.
16:06You do not want one.
16:07It'll be James, a bunch of angry community members, and then me answering for the sins of the LAPD.
16:14You're right.
16:15I'm good.
16:16How have things been since the scandal broke?
16:18Tense.
16:19I mean, I'm just sick of having the same conversation over and over again.
16:24God, I remember when Wesley and I used to get into it over police procedure.
16:28It was kind of hot, but also exhausting.
16:30It's much easier now that he works for the DA's office.
16:33If only I had that option.
16:34Hey!
16:35My bag!
16:36Can't be on your back.
16:37Two babies each and we still got it.
16:38Control, I need transport at the corner of Cochran and 8th for a 2-11.
16:39Person at suspect.
16:40Copy.
16:41Show 7 at a 15 in route.
16:42How's yours doing?
16:43She's doing great.
16:44Me, on the other hand, I'm struggling a little bit.
16:47We had an incident that got a little dicey and I wound up taking the lead.
16:52Afterwards, she questioned whether I was making the right call.
16:55Oh, unless she was dying or on fire, you definitely did not.
16:56I didn't even realize I was doing it.
16:57Instinct just kicked in.
16:58You gotta learn to control that impulse.
16:59Yeah.
17:00I had no idea being on the TO side of playing close date would be this hard.
17:02Yeah.
17:03No, no, no, no.
17:04No, no, no.
17:05No, no, no, no.
17:06No, no.
17:07No, no, no.
17:08No, no, no.
17:09No, no, no, no.
17:10No, no, no.
17:11No, no, no.
17:12No, no, no, no, no.
17:13No, no, no, no.
17:14No, no, no, no, no.
17:15No, no, no, no, no, no.
17:16No, no, no, no, no.
17:17No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
17:34Yeah.
17:35I had no idea being on the TO side of playing close date would be this hard.
17:39Yeah, of course, it's hard.
17:40You've been training her for the past nine months.
17:41You're invested in her success.
17:42But the only way she will succeed is if you give her the room to fail.
17:46he's affiliated. If that get any closer, I'd say he's a part of the Sixth Street Devils.
17:50And what's our authority to stop and talk to him? Well, the standard for probable cause
17:55and detention states that we need to have a reasonable belief that the person in question
17:59has or will commit a crime. For example, if this was a 11-532-A,
18:03loitering for the purpose of selling drugs, then we could stop him.
18:06Follow that suspect. LAPD, stop. Seven out of 19. We got shots fired in the alleyway of Beverly.
18:36Sir, the ambulance is on its way. I'm good. I'm good. This is the first time I've been shot.
18:45You're still going to the hospital. He had a car. Get away. Did you get the plane?
18:49The mink? Ridley. Where did they go? What direction did they go?
18:59Control 7-9-15. Vehicle stop on 2 Queen Charles Edward 265. The registered owner,
19:04Arnold King, has a no bail out of Long Beach. Start me another unit and be advised that I am
19:09riding solo. Copy item 15. Additional unit in room.
19:14Damn it.
19:17What the hell is taking so long? Sir, I need you to get back in your car.
19:20You can't just hold me here. Sir, if you do not get back in your car now,
19:25you will be in violation of Pinot Code Section 148 resisting an officer.
19:29You have my permission to call me a badass.
19:53Sir, you are a badass. You're an embarrassment. Not only did you fail the radio in your location
20:00while chasing an armed suspect, you were unable to provide any details that might help us identify
20:07his vehicle. These are the fundamentals, Officer Ridley. Things they teach you the first week at the
20:13academy. There's no excuse, sir. You're damn right.
20:16Step outside. I need to speak to Officer Chin for a minute.
20:29Let me be blunt. Do you think Ridley has what it takes to make it through the FTO program?
20:38I think Officer Ridley shows a lot of potential.
20:41Very diplomatic. Now I need your honest opinion.
20:45I think he's smart, thoughtful, and empathetic, but he's made some very basic mistakes, which I
20:52understand at this stage in his training is to be expected.
20:58I think at this point it's too soon to tell.
21:01Every rookie makes mistakes, but we're under a microscope right now.
21:05So if you ever start to think that he might be a liability,
21:11I need you to let me know right away.
21:12Yes, sir.
21:15All right.
21:20Officer Chin, I'm sorry.
21:21No, you need to stop apologizing, all right? Get your head in the game.
21:24Go study your rookbook.
21:26Yes, ma'am.
21:30Here, the vigilante has escalated to attempted murder.
21:33Too bad he got away.
21:34Are you seriously here to gloat about how badly my rookie screwed up?
21:37Of course not. A little. Look, being a TO is hard. Being a good TO is even harder.
21:45First lesson I learned is you can't let their failures be your fault. Not the beginning.
21:48You have to make those failures a teachable moment.
21:51Well, that's very enlightened of you.
21:53Don't sound so surprised.
21:54How's it going with Officer Texas?
21:57So far, so good. Still got half a shift left.
21:59Why are you trying to leave the scene before the ambulance arrived?
22:06I promised my grandma I'd take her to church.
22:07And you were going to take her with a bullet in your shoulder?
22:09She hates missing the homily.
22:11Well, you have been very unhelpful.
22:13I'm a devil, baby. Devils take it to the grave.
22:15Oh, what a motto.
22:17You think with there being so many cops in the neighborhood,
22:19the watcher would have picked a different day to escalate to attempted murder.
22:22It wasn't just an escalation. This was a completely different MO.
22:26I mean, everyone else was stopped while committing a crime.
22:29This doesn't feel like his other missions. This one feels personal.
22:32Okay, so what do those other missions have in common?
22:35They're almost all single perpetrator robberies or assaults.
22:38All in the neighborhood.
22:39And patrol's long response times have been giving him a chance to get to the scenes first.
22:45I might have an idea.
22:47So where exactly do you live? Must be pretty close to the station.
22:50Over on Stanley? I can smell the tall pits from my apartment.
22:53Probably why I got such a good deal.
22:56Hey, what's up?
22:57Harper and I have a plan to track down the vigilante.
23:00Can you and your boot back us up?
23:01Yeah, absolutely.
23:07Seven out of 100, what's your ETA for that 415 in the alley off Fuller?
23:12Still six minutes out.
23:13Be advised, original RP has called back multiple times to report screaming from that event.
23:17Copy. We'll be there as soon as we can.
23:18Police, hands up, show me your hands.
23:27Police, show me your hands.
23:28Search him, boot.
23:28Keep your hands on your head.
23:29I got a gun in the hole for my right hip.
23:31It's a nine millimeter.
23:35Same as the one used to shoot Beecho.
23:38Hold on, hold on.
23:39I didn't shoot anybody.
23:42Thomas Forsythe, you're under arrest for attempted murder.
23:45I want a lawyer.
23:47I want a lawyer.
23:48Get up.
23:53Looks like you had a pretty eventful plainclothes day, officer-wise.
23:57Yes, sir.
23:58I had a few missteps, as did officer Nolan.
24:02But overall, I'm impressed on how you handled some tricky calls today.
24:08What? I mean, does that mean I passed?
24:11Yes, you passed.
24:16Thank you, sir.
24:16You're welcome.
24:18Now, officer Nolan, for a first time TO, not terrible, but definitely room for improvement.
24:26Yes, sir.
24:27All right. That's all. Good job.
24:32Explain something to us, Tom. What makes a middle-aged guy, a former cop,
24:35decide to start running around his neighborhood in a mask playing superhero?
24:39My client saw a need in the community and used his training as a retired law enforcement officer
24:43to lend a hand.
24:44I just wanted to make my neighborhood safer.
24:45By shooting gangbangers?
24:47I told you that wasn't me. Check my alibi.
24:49We are, but why carry a gun if you didn't intend to use it?
24:52Come on.
24:53You know any cops, active or retired, who aren't carrying at all times?
24:56So this alibi checks out, which means we've got a copycat.
25:16I wasn't sure if you wanted to go out after your shift, so I stashed this in the freezer just in case.
25:25Let me guess, the ice cream in there was for if I failed?
25:28Yes. But that doesn't mean we can't still eat it.
25:31See, now we're talking.
25:35How's it look?
25:35Oh, girl, it looks like you took on a dude twice your size and still won.
25:41Here's to you and being an absolute badass and crushing your plain clothes day.
25:45Mmm.
25:50I am quite proud of myself.
25:52As well as you should be.
25:55I mean, look how far you've come in the last nine months, how much you've grown.
25:59It's crazy thinking back to that first shift.
26:01I was in so far over my head, I can't believe I didn't get washed out.
26:05Hmm.
26:06How are things going with Seth?
26:10Yeah, he had a pretty crap day.
26:13I don't know what the answer is.
26:15That's why I think we need to narrow down our action items and put them in writing for the captain.
26:21Hey, there she is.
26:23Uh, everyone, this is my wife, Nyla.
26:26Hello.
26:30Are you here to give us some real answers?
26:32Because if you're just going to parrot the department line, I'm not interested.
26:35Okay, let's just give her a few minutes to settle on.
26:38Okay, George?
26:39Help yourself with some more fruit and wine.
26:41I'm so sorry, it got a little bigger than I had planned.
26:44You think?
26:45You said a few.
26:46What version of the English language is this a few?
26:49I do not appreciate being ambushed in my own home.
26:52It's not an ambush.
26:55Word got around, okay?
26:56More people wanted to come.
26:57What was I supposed to say?
26:58No.
26:59It's a complete sentence, James.
27:02Where are you going?
27:03To change.
27:14Oh, could you get it?
27:26I used up all my steps for the day.
27:28Hmm, okay.
27:35It's Nyla.
27:38Hey, everything okay?
27:40Was the dinner a disaster?
27:41If by dinner you mean town hall meeting in my living room with 20 strangers, then yes.
27:46He didn't.
27:47Oh, he did.
27:48I'm sure James didn't mean for it to get that big.
27:50He probably...
27:53I'm going to stop talking and go check on the kids.
27:59What did you say to him when you left?
28:00Oh, uh, nothing because I climbed out the window.
28:03I am not proud of it.
28:06Why not?
28:07I'd be proud of myself for not burning the house down.
28:11It's James.
28:13Tell James we're doing a spouse swap.
28:15I get you, he can have Wesley.
28:17Hmm, that would solve a lot of problems.
28:22You know it's illegal to live in a vehicle parked on the street?
28:24Oh, sweet suffering, Lord.
28:26You scared the crap out of me.
28:27Exactly.
28:28You're completely exposed.
28:29Not to mention it's against the law, which you're sworn to uphold.
28:31Of course.
28:32But I can't afford to bring a place right now, all right?
28:35I've got some debts to repay.
28:36That doesn't make it better.
28:38Officers in financial trouble are much easier to corrupt.
28:40What if someone steals your vehicle?
28:42Or breaks into it and steals your service weapon or police equipment?
28:45You'd be terminated on the spot, which is exactly what I should do right now.
28:48No, wait, don't do that, please.
28:52I need this.
28:56I screwed up.
28:59All right, I played football in college and I thought I was going pro.
29:02So I spent some money before I technically had it.
29:05And you blew out your knee jumping off the roof at a frat party like an idiot.
29:09Which is a tragedy because you were destined to be one hell of a running back.
29:13Well, all that's in the past.
29:14And right now I'm giving you 24 hours to find yourself a legal place to live.
29:19Otherwise, you have to find yourself a third career to screw up.
29:29Mr. Fields?
29:29I'm, I remember.
29:34Hard to forget the worst moment of your life.
29:41So, um, how's Chelsea?
29:4410 hours in surgery and they say she's, she's gonna need another one in a couple of days.
29:51Her parents will be here by then.
29:52Hey, tell me, how do families survive something like this?
30:01I mean, how am I supposed to?
30:05Well, it isn't easy.
30:08But it is possible. It just takes time.
30:14I don't think I have enough years left in me.
30:16I mean, even if Chelsea and my daughter find it in themselves to forgive me, I'll never forgive myself.
30:23Okay, that it was an accident.
30:25I don't understand.
30:28When did I get so afraid?
30:30You know, I was, I was the man that people called in a crisis.
30:35Suddenly my daughter talks to me like I'm a child.
30:40You shouldn't do that.
30:43You know, did you remember to do this?
30:46She begged me to give that gun up.
30:53She said she would pay for a better security,
30:57a better security system.
30:59And I told her no.
31:01I said no.
31:02Come on, I can take care of myself because,
31:05you know, giving up the gun was admitting defeat.
31:08It was like acknowledging that you're not the man that you thought you were.
31:13And that terrified me.
31:17You know, now her little girl's in there fighting for her life.
31:21Because I was too proud to accept my own limitations.
31:25I was too scared of looking feeble.
31:30And then all that fear.
31:32The second that I saw Chelsea laying on that floor,
31:38I realized that I didn't know what fear was.
31:40I had no idea.
31:50Hey, hey, I got the shop all set up.
31:54I came in early to top it off with some gas.
31:55I put some air in the tires and I even got you a coffee.
31:59You know that doesn't wipe the slate clean from yesterday's mistakes, right?
32:03Yes, ma'am.
32:05But actually, I wanted to talk to you about that.
32:06The reason I came in late yesterday and I took my eye off the ball with the vigilante.
32:14Four years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer and it was aggressive.
32:19And my eyes weren't very good.
32:21But I did beat it.
32:24But a week ago, I went in to get some routine blood work done.
32:28And my results came back as irregular.
32:32I'm sorry.
32:34That sounds incredibly stressful.
32:37Seth, you know, I'm the one that's responsible for your safety on the job.
32:43And you really should have told me.
32:45I know. I know. It's just...
32:49People treat you different when they know that you're sick.
32:51Yeah.
32:52But there's no excuses.
32:54You're right. And I should have told you.
32:57Well, when do you get the results back?
33:00Soon, I hope. But it feels like forever.
33:06Yeah, there's nothing we can do about that now, right?
33:08What do you say we focus on other people's problems for today?
33:13I'd love that.
33:15We have a lead on the copycat vigilante.
33:17Midnight shift caught a homicide.
33:18A kid from the same gang as our shooting victim yesterday.
33:21And witnesses saw the watcher running from the scene.
33:23We dug in and found that both victims were persons of interest in the murder of an 18-year-old girl.
33:27Sienna Sanchez shot to death six months ago.
33:29But the DA's office couldn't convince anyone to testify against the gang.
33:33And so the case fell apart.
33:34So you're thinking someone from Sienna's family is out for vengeance?
33:37It makes sense. Apparently, our two victims bragged openly about the murder.
33:41We made a list of all her family and friends that need to have their alibis checked.
33:44We were hoping patrol would help us knock those out.
33:46Of course. Whatever you need.
33:47The mother's going to need someone with a soft touch.
33:51I'll send Nolan Warrens. They'll be sensitive.
33:53Perfect.
33:54Emilda Sanchez, 47, widow.
33:57Any other kids?
33:58No, just Yenna.
34:00To lose her husband and her child within a few years, I mean, that'll break her heart.
34:04And heart and curse.
34:08Lopez just smashed Emilda's card to a traffic cam footage leaving the area of both shootings.
34:13She's our copycat.
34:15Remember, sympathetic or not, she's our murder suspect considered armed and dangerous.
34:19Copy that.
34:22Looks like the 6th Street Devils have figured out Emilda's the killer, too.
34:32Control, 7 out of 15. I have at least four armed men outside 2202 Norton.
34:41No sign of Emilda Sanchez, homeowner.
34:43I'm assuming more armed suspects inside.
34:45Requesting backup and airship code 3.
34:48Copy out of 15. Backup and airship are en route.
34:50What about Emilda?
34:51Let's go see what we can see.
35:08Control, be advised, 7 out of 15.
35:10Code 6, approaching Sanchez residents from the rear.
35:14We're advised responding units. Possible blue on blue.
35:21Ah!
35:22Shut up!
35:23Out of me!
35:25Let her go!
35:26They killed my daughter!
35:27Back away!
35:31Out of the bridge.
35:32Seven out of 100 shots fired at our location.
35:39We did hit hit hit hit hit hit hit hit.
35:45We are under fire in the foot alley in the east side of this attached garage.
36:08Hey, what's your position on a liberal use of flashbangs?
36:11Do it.
36:15Jen, we're going to flashbang.
36:18Be ready.
36:19They're low on ammo.
36:20Just wait for the reload.
36:21Copy.
36:27Now.
36:34Let's go.
36:39Not a bad hit for running back.
36:42Jen, take him.
36:45Let's go.
36:46Nolan, we're coming up behind them.
36:48Copy that.
36:49We're in the foot alley.
36:50We have four shooters posted up behind the Honda.
36:52Sixth Street Devils, you are surrounded and outgunned.
36:55You have five seconds to lay down your guns, get on the ground, arms and legs sprayed.
37:00Come on.
37:01Get up.
37:02You.
37:03Down.
37:04Secure Emilda.
37:05Secure Emilda.
37:06Come on.
37:07Come on.
37:08Get down.
37:09You.
37:10Down.
37:11Secure Emilda.
37:12You, down.
37:14Here, Imelda.
37:16Drop the gun. Do it right now.
37:19Drop it.
37:21Imelda, drop the gun.
37:24Look around.
37:25There's no chance of you walking out of this alive
37:27unless you do what I say.
37:28I don't care.
37:30They killed my daughter.
37:32They deserve to die.
37:33Every last one of them.
37:35Maybe.
37:37But if you don't let them go,
37:38I will be forced to end your life
37:40in order to save his.
37:42Does that sound like justice to you?
37:44I want to die.
37:47But I don't want to kill a grieving mother
37:49for avenging her daughter's murder.
37:52Please.
38:03On your knees.
38:12Three days in.
38:16How are you feeling?
38:18Well, I'm like an imposter.
38:20But there have been a few moments
38:21where I felt like I was making a difference
38:23that has made all those other times worth it.
38:27What about you?
38:28It doesn't really matter at this point.
38:30Unless one of y'all haven't roomed,
38:31I can rent off the cheap.
38:32No.
38:33Sorry.
38:33No worries.
38:34Well, it was great working with y'all,
38:36no matter how briefly.
38:37What are you talking about?
38:38Well, Tim's bouncing me.
38:40He found out I was living in my car
38:42and gave me 24 hours to find a legal residence.
38:45Let you be up in a few hours.
38:46So find something.
38:48Well, I can't find a place you're renting
38:49and moving by tonight.
38:52I might have a solution.
38:54So, how mad are you?
39:08Pretty mad.
39:10How mad are you?
39:12Pretty mad.
39:14Why don't you just call it even?
39:17Yeah, I would love to, but...
39:20I don't think we should.
39:24Okay.
39:26What exactly does that mean?
39:31Sometimes I worry that we got married too fast.
39:34Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
39:36Wait, wait, wait, what?
39:39Nyla, we've built a great life together.
39:41We have a beautiful daughter.
39:43We love each other.
39:44We do.
39:45I love you, James,
39:47but that does not change what I do for a living.
39:49Something I also love
39:52is in direct conflict with your work.
39:55Which is equally important to me.
39:58Yeah.
40:02Then I guess...
40:04we have to work at
40:06trying to figure out a pathway through this.
40:10That's what I'm saying.
40:11Yeah.
40:12But we can start tomorrow
40:17because Mama's tired.
40:21How about
40:21I run you a bath
40:23while you kiss the kids goodnight?
40:27That sounds good.
40:29There's no way
40:30we were that clueless.
40:32I mean, I know we were rookies,
40:33but we had some common sense.
40:36No rookie has common sense.
40:37After my first day as a T.O.,
40:40I wrote Harper a very long apology letter
40:43and sent her a Spoggy certificate.
40:44Aw.
40:45Aw.
40:48Forget it.
40:50You made my life hell.
40:52Besides, any amount of gratitude
40:53you might have been owed
40:54was more than paid off
40:56while we were dating.
40:57Fair enough.
40:58Mm-hmm.
41:00All right, that is it for me.
41:01I'm going to go home
41:01and soak my entire body.
41:03Be nice.
41:04All right, have a good night.
41:05See you tomorrow.
41:05All right.
41:06So, uh,
41:12your boot handled himself
41:14okay out there today?
41:15Yeah.
41:16He's, um,
41:18yeah, we're,
41:19we're figuring it out.
41:22How was Texas
41:23the rest of the day?
41:27I'm about to find out.
41:28Oh.
41:30Time's up, boot.
41:31You find a place to live?
41:33Howdy.
41:34I sure did.
41:34Let me introduce you
41:36to my new landlord.
41:39Bradford,
41:40just welcoming the kid
41:41to the neighborhood.
41:42Pass him back to my boot.
41:45It's only temporary
41:46until I bank enough money
41:48to get my own place.
41:49Yeah, that's what every guy said
41:50when they first moved into that lot.
41:52All right.
41:53I'll see you tomorrow.
41:54You buy yourself another shift.
41:58Don't listen to Brad
41:59for this place is Shangri-La.
42:02All the beer,
42:03barbecue,
42:03and sports you want.
42:05And pants
42:06are always optional.
42:08Things are going to get better.
42:12Oh.
42:13Oh.
42:13Oh.
42:14Oh.
42:14Oh.
42:15Oh.
