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
00:12If you can keep it
00:14I wanna-
00:16Damn it, it's gone.
00:18Sussling down the north roof, access stairwell behind the locked door.
00:20Taking the south stairwell to cut him off at the street.
00:30What do you want?
00:36That's a first.
00:42Clear.
00:44Clear.
00:50Nolan.
00:52Look.
01:003-9-15.
01:03How do I re-do that in?
01:05That's 4-15.
01:06Mass vigilante.
01:08Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
01:11I'm gonna win for you
01:13Like I know you want me to do
01:21Are you cleaning, or are you just moving the mess around?
01:24I can't find my keys
01:25Because someone keeps letting our toddler play with them.
01:28I cannot be late for my meeting with the captain.
01:31Well, maybe it could be seen as a power play, making him wait to hear your demands.
01:35They're not demands, they're respectful requests.
01:38Now, if he doesn't address them to my satisfaction, then they become demands.
01:42Hmm, found them.
01:44Kefob Casserole.
01:45She is a culinary visionary, just like her mom.
01:47Speaking of dinner, what time will you be home?
01:50I invited a few friends over.
01:51Our friends or your friends?
01:53They're community activists.
01:54In that case, I am busy.
01:56I am filling in on patrol, and cases are just piling up.
01:59No, come on.
02:00The 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 going to 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.
02:16All right, maybe not just as, but we are working on it.
02:19For now.
02:20Historically, there's always a lot of talk about accountability,
02:22but 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.
02:46For now, the man is killing his fellow, and they're weeping.
02:49I'm going to review a lot of people, and I'm gonna call him this guy.
02:49We're so sorry.
02:50I had to see him here.
02:50I was talking to people, and they're sick of me.
02:51So I was taking a cup of drink, and I wanted to drink.
02:51So I needed to drink, and I was going to drink so much.
02:53I was the tea being that I wanted to drink, and I was getting fat quick.
02:54I wanted to drink, and I wanted to drink a cup of coffee.
02:55So I made my pop up my biology.
02:57The thing that's why I did not understand the tea,
02:58I was soft and I wanted to drink.
02:59It's just a good deal.
02:59So I wanted to drink and drink a tub, and I want to drink.
03:00I like my tea.
03:01What is your name?
03:06Oh, I don't know.
03:11Don't even go to the bathroom or I know how it's done.
03:14I don't know.
03:19I don't know how to make this work.
03:26What the hell are you doing, boot?
03:35I'm going to work, sir.
03:37Yeah, 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 an old 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.
03:56Don't you worry 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 day.
04:18I 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 running.
04:25Yeah.
04:26Yeah, yeah, you're right.
04:27I bet your plane closed day 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.
04:44But 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, have yet to prove yourself.
04:57It's the only way to prove a T.O.
04:59doesn't have to play mind games in order to train a good rookie.
05:03It'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, I am already sweating.
05:29But we are rooting for you today, Juarez.
05:32Patrol really cannot afford to lose another body right now.
05:37The 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.
05:45But 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.
05:51Not yet.
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 going to 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, still, it's 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.
06:18Not one word.
06:20I was just going to say thank you both for your sacrifice that 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, you guys are my first call.
06:34We should go.
06:35Yeah.
06:36Have a good meeting.
06:37Thanks.
06:38See you, Mark?
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.
06:52Hey, have you guys seen sex?
06:53No.
06:55Two minutes.
07:00That's right.
07:01That's right.
07:02Everybody, settle down.
07:04It 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.
07:16Which 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.
07:23Ooh.
07:24That representative is James Murray.
07:26Look, I know we all have friends lose their pensions over this mess, but they made that
07:30bet.
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.
07:36Now, I'm sure you've all heard about this jackass running around trying to be some masked
07:42avenger.
07:42He's called the Watcher.
07:44Yeah, I'm not calling him that.
07:49He'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
07:55since we've been shorthanded.
07:57Look, if the residents start thinking this clown is more reliable than us, we have a huge
08:00problem.
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.
08:14Everyone, 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.
08:24Be safe out there.
08:26Huh, kind of funny.
08:28But one day you guys are back in uniform, I get to wear my savings all shit.
08:31It won't be so funny if Selena doesn't pass.
08:33Why wouldn't it?
08:36Oh, how much coffee is too much coffee?
08:42How many fingers am I holding?
08:43Me too, but they're vibrating.
08:44Okay.
08:45Take a deep breath.
08:48All right, you got this.
08:51All right, let's go over how this is going to go.
08:53Today, 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.
09:16Now, to help simulate the experience of riding solo,
09:20this will be the last time I speak to you until the end of shift.
09:24Finally.
09:24Usually, I can't get you to zip it.
09:27Oh, you're serious.
09:29Okay.
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.,
09:38you'd be spending the rest of your shift scrubbing holding cells with a toothbrush.
09:42Well, I'm glad that he's not my T.O.
09:43Do you want to run alongside the shop while you reconsider your attitude?
09:50No, ma'am.
09:51Sorry.
09:55Good.
09:58Because I don't want to be that kind of T.O., ma'am.
10:00But you showing up late for your second ever roll call,
10:03either you don't respect me or...
10:05No, of course not.
10:08Well, you're not taking your training seriously, Ridley.
10:11Hey, Officer 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,
10:19and it ran...
10:21It ran late.
10:22So, it's not...
10:23It's not going to happen again.
10:27Good.
10:28So, since I'm making all the decisions today,
10:31I guess that means I can do...
10:34Yes.
10:37Damn.
10:38Okay, I thought for sure that'd get you to crack.
10:41All right.
10:43Seven Adam 15, I have an in-progress 211 home invasion at 623 Layden.
10:48RP is homeowner Walter Fields, 82.
10:51Advice RP to lock himself in the bathroom
10:53and find out if there are any firearms in the house.
10:58RP has locked himself in the first floor bathroom
11:01and is armed with a handgun.
11:03Control responding code 3.
11:04I am code 6 on scene.
11:20Making entry sent backup.
11:21Police!
11:22I am inside your house!
11:39Come 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.
12:06All right, I'm going to need you to put that gun down.
12:10Is it down?
12:11Yeah.
12:13All right.
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.
12:22Nice and slow.
12:22Just walk towards me, okay?
12:24I'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.
12:31Well, I know, but the...
12:33Oh, my God, no.
12:35No.
12:35No, let me go.
12:36That's my granddaughter.
12:38Let me go.
12:40I heard footsteps in the hall.
12:43There 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.
12:52Oh, please.
12:52She'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.
13:05It's...
13:05I hate playing close, eh?
13:12Fine, let's hear it.
13:13Well, 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,
13:21and he mistook her for an intruder.
13:23Thanks.
13:23I'll take it from here.
13:24Okay, well, do you need me to take Walter in for processing?
13:27He's been through enough.
13:28He doesn't need to see the back of his shop.
13:30I'll handle it.
13:31I 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,
13:52it undermined my authority with a man who is already more inclined to trust someone who looks like you over someone who looks like me.
14:00Just something to think about.
14:01Community 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 in them?
14:17Excuse me, officers?
14:20Yes, ma'am.
14:21What can we do you for?
14:22Would you mind helping me bring my garbage bin in so heavy?
14:25Yes, ma'am.
14:26I'd be happy to.
14:28You 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.
14:38All right, if there's nothing else you need from us, ma'am, we're going to 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.
14:44She knows what 9-1-1 is.
14:45Well, 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?
14:50You have a minute to talk?
14:52Depends.
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.
15:06You're going to have to forgive me.
15:07I'm still learning.
15:08Okay.
15:09Well, then, I'll educate you.
15:11This used to be a nice neighborhood to raise a family.
15:16Then 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 or to use
15:25us as an example for young officers like yourself.
15:29See the watcher there?
15:30Now, I don't know if the watcher is helping, hurting, or just playing crazy.
15:35But at least he's here.
15:36And you'd be surprised what a big difference that makes.
15:40Well, sir, next time you've got a problem, you can contact me directly and I will personally
15:45make sure that the police respond.
15:48That's a smite.
15:53Ridley.
15:54How's good?
15:55I would not have agreed to this if I knew we were doing foot patrol.
15:59Tell me about it.
16:00And James is having people over for dinner tonight, so I can't even put my feet up when
16:04I get home.
16:05Thanks for the invite.
16:06Oh, trust me, you do not want one.
16:08It'll be James, a bunch of angry community members, and then me answering for the sins
16:13of the LAPD.
16:14You're right.
16:15I'm good.
16:16How have things been since the scandal broke?
16:18Tense.
16:18I 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 high, but also exhausting.
16:31It's much easier now that he works for the DA's office.
16:34If only I had that option.
16:37Hey, my bag!
16:43Can't be on your back.
16:45Two babies each and we still got it.
16:47Control, I need transport at the corner of Cochran and 8th for a 2-11.
16:51Person at suspect.
16:52Copy.
16:53Show 7 at a 15 in route.
16:57How's the war's doing?
16:59She's doing great.
17:00Me, on the other hand, I'm struggling a little bit.
17:03We had an incident that got a little dicey, and I wound up taking the lead.
17:08Afterwards, she questioned whether I was making the right call.
17:11Well, unless she was dying or on fire, you definitely did not.
17:14I didn't even realize I was doing it.
17:16The instinct just kicked in.
17:18You've got to learn to control that impulse.
17:20Yeah.
17:21I had no idea being on the TO side of playing close date would be this hard.
17:25Of course it's hard.
17:26You've been training her for the past nine months.
17:28You're invested in her success.
17:30But the only way she will succeed is if you give her the room to fail.
17:38What can you tell me about that guy crossing the street?
17:40Late teens, early 20s, 5 foot 10, 6 foot tall, slim builds, colors, and tattoos suggest that he's affiliated.
17:47Without getting any closer, I'd say he's a part of the 6th Street Devils.
17:51And what's our authority to stop and talk to him?
17:54Well, the standard for probable cause and detention states that we need to have a reasonable belief
17:57that the person in question has or will commit a crime.
18:00For example, if this was a 11-5-32-A,
18:03loitering for the purpose of selling drugs,
18:05then we could stop him.
18:06Follow that suspect!
18:17LAPD, stop!
18:18Seven out of 19, we got shots fired in the alleyway of Beverly.
18:21Sir, the ambulance is on its way.
18:42Good, I'm good.
18:43This ain't the first time I've been shot.
18:45You're still going to the hospital.
18:46He hit a car, get away.
18:48Did you get the plane?
18:48The mink, Ridley.
18:52Where did they go?
18:53What direction did they go?
18:59Control 7-9-15, vehicle stop on 2 Queen Charles Edward 265.
19:03The registered owner, Arnold King, has a no bail out of Long Beach.
19:06Start me another unit and be advised that I am riding solo.
19:10Copy item 15, additional unit in road.
19:14Damn it.
19:17What the hell's taking so long?
19:18Sir, I need you to get back in your car.
19:20You can't just hold me here.
19:22Sir, if you do not get back in your car now,
19:25you will be in violation of peanut code section 148 resisting an officer.
19:29You have my permission to call me a badass.
19:48You have my permission to call me a badass.
19:54You are a badass.
19:56You're an embarrassment.
19:58Not only did you fail the radio in your location while chasing an armed suspect,
20:02you were unable to provide any details that might help us identify his vehicle.
20:08These are the fundamentals, Officer Ridley.
20:12Things they teach you the first week at the academy.
20:14There's no excuse, sir.
20:15You're damn right.
20:19Step outside.
20:20I need to speak to Officer Chin for a minute.
20:22Let me be blunt.
20:30Do you think Ridley has what it takes to make it through the FTO program?
20:35I think Officer Ridley shows a lot of potential.
20:42Very diplomatic.
20:43Now I need your honest opinion.
20:45I think he's smart, thoughtful, and empathetic.
20:49But he's made some very basic mistakes,
20:52which I understand at this stage in his training is to be expected.
20:55I think at this point it's too soon to tell.
21:01Every rookie makes mistakes.
21:03But we're under a microscope right now.
21:06So if you ever start to think that he might be a liability,
21:11I need you to let me know right away.
21:13Yes, sir.
21:15All right.
21:20Officer Chin, I'm sorry.
21:21No, you need to stop apologizing, all right?
21:23Get your head in the game.
21:24Go study your Rookbook.
21:26Yes, ma'am.
21:30Here the vigilantes 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.
21:38A little.
21:39Look, being a T.O. is hard.
21:42Being a good T.O. is even harder.
21:45First lesson I learned is you can't let their failures be your fault.
21:48Not the beginning.
21:49You have to make those failures a teachable moment.
21:51Well, that's very enlightened of you.
21:53Don't sound so surprised.
21:55How's it going with Officer Texas?
21:57So far, so good.
21:58Still 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.
22:08And 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.
22:12I'm a devil, baby.
22:14Devils take it to the grave.
22:16Oh, what a motto.
22:17You think with there being so many cops in the neighborhood, the Watcher would have picked
22:20a different day to escalate to attempted murder.
22:22Yeah, but it wasn't just an escalation.
22:24This was a completely different M.O.
22:26I mean, everyone else was stopped while committing a crime.
22:29This doesn't feel like his other missions.
22:31This 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.
22:43I might have an idea.
22:47So where exactly do you live?
22:49Must be pretty close to the station.
22:50Over on Stanley?
22:51I can smell the tall fish 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.
23:08Seven out of 100, what's your ETA for that 415 in the alley-off cooler?
23:12Still six minutes out.
23:13Be advised, original R.P. has called back multiple times to report screaming from that event.
23:17Copy.
23:18We'll be there as soon as we can.
23:25Police!
23:26Hands up!
23:27Police!
23:27Show me your hands!
23:27Show me your hands!
23:28Search him, boot.
23:29Keep your hands on your head!
23:30I got a gun in the hole from my right hip.
23:34It's a 9mm.
23:36Same as the one used to shoot Bicho.
23:38Hold on, hold on.
23:39I didn't shoot anybody.
23:43Thomas Forsythe, you're under arrest for attempted murder.
23:46I want a lawyer.
23:48Get up!
23:48It looks like you had a pretty eventful plainclothes day, officer-wise.
23:57Yes, sir.
23:59Had a few missteps, as did Officer Nolan.
24:02But overall, I'm impressed on how you handled some tricky calls today.
24:07Officer Nolan, for a first-time T.O., not terrible, but definitely room for improvement.
24:25Yes, sir.
24:27All right.
24:28That's all.
24:30Good job.
24:32Explain something to us, Tom.
24:33What makes a middle-aged guy, a former cop, decide 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 to lend a hand.
24:44I just wanted to make my neighborhood safer.
24:46By shooting gangbangers?
24:47I told you, that wasn't me.
24:49Check my alibi.
24:49We are, but why carry a gun if you didn't intend to use it?
24:52Come on.
24:52You know any cops, active or retired, who aren't carrying at all times?
25:12So his alibi checks out.
25:14Which means we've got a copycat.
25:19Woo!
25:19I wasn't sure if you wanted to go out after your shift, so I stashed this in the freezer just in case.
25:26Let me guess, the ice cream in there was for if I failed?
25:29Yes.
25:29But that doesn't mean we can't still eat it.
25:31See, now we're talking.
25:35How's it look?
25:36Oh, 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 playing close day.
25:45Mm.
25:47Mm.
25:49I am quite proud of myself.
25:53As well, you should be.
25:55I mean, look how far you've come in the last nine months, how much you've grown.
25:58Mm.
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.
26:05Mm.
26:06How are things going with Seth?
26:10Yeah, he had a pretty crap day.
26:12I 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.
26:19Hey, there she is.
26:23Uh, everyone, this is my wife, Nyla.
26:26Hello.
26:27Hey, hello.
26:27Are 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 to some more food than one.
26:41George, I'm so sorry.
26:43It got a little bigger than I had planned.
26:44You think?
26:45You said a few.
26:46In what 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, what 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.
27:31Oh.
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,
27:44with 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...
27:52I'm going to stop talking and go check on the kids.
27:58What did you say to him when you left?
28:00Oh, nothing, because I climbed out the window.
28:04I 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.
28:11Tell James we're doing a spouse swap.
28:15I get you.
28:16He can have Wesley.
28:18That would solve a lot of problems.
28:22You know it's illegal to live in a vehicle parked on the street?
28:25Sweet 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.
28:33But I can't afford to burn a place right now, all right?
28:35I've got some debts to repay.
28:36That doesn't make it better.
28:37Officer, officers in financial trouble are much easier to corrupt.
28:40What if someone steals your vehicle or breaks into it and steals your service weapon or
28:44police equipment?
28:45You'd be terminated on the spot, which is exactly what I should do right now.
28:48No, wait.
28:49Don't do that.
28:49Please.
28:50I...
28:50I need this.
28:53I 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, jumped off the roof at a frat party like an idiot.
29:10Which is a tragedy because you were destined to be one hell of a running back.
29:13Well, all that's in the past.
29:15And right now I'm giving you 24 hours to find yourself a legal place to live.
29:19Otherwise you're going to have to find yourself a third career to screw up.
29:21Mr. Fields?
29:31I'm...
29:32I remember.
29:34Hard to forget the worst moment of your life.
29:41So, um...
29:43How's Chelsea?
29:44Ten hours in surgery.
29:46And they say she's...
29:47She's going to need another one in a couple of days.
29:50Her parents will be here by then.
29:56Hey, tell me.
29:58How do families survive something like this?
30:01I mean...
30:02How am I supposed to?
30:05Well, it isn't easy.
30:08But it is possible.
30:09It just...
30:11takes time.
30:12I don't think I have enough years left in me.
30:17I mean, even if Chelsea and my daughter find it in themselves to forgive me, I'll never forgive myself.
30:23Okay.
30:23That it was an accident.
30:25I don't understand.
30:28When did I get so afraid?
30:31You know, I was...
30:31I was the man that people called in a crisis.
30:35Suddenly my daughter talks to me like I'm a...
30:38a child.
30:40You shouldn't do that.
30:43You know, did you remember to do this?
30:45She begged me to give that gun up.
30:53She said she would pay for a better security...
30:55a better security system.
30:59And I told her no.
31:01I said no.
31:02Come on, I can take care of myself.
31:04Because, you know, giving up the gun was admitting defeat.
31:08It was like acknowledging that you're not the man that you thought you were.
31:15And that terrified me, you know.
31:18Now her little girl's in there fighting for her life.
31:22Because I was too proud to accept my own limitations.
31:26I was too scared of looking feeble.
31:30And then all that fear...
31:34The second that I saw Chelsea laying on that floor...
31:37I realized that I didn't know what fear was.
31:42I had no idea.
31:50Hey.
31:51Hey.
31:52Hey, I got the shop all set up.
31:54I came in early to top it off with some gas.
31:56I put some air in the tires.
31:57I 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 I actually wanted to talk to you about that.
32:06The reason I came in late yesterday and why I took my eye off the ball with the vigilante.
32:14Four years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer.
32:17And it was aggressive.
32:19And my eyes weren't very good.
32:22But I did beat it.
32:24But a week ago, I went in to get some routine blood work done and my results came back as irregular.
32:31I'm sorry.
32:32I'm sorry.
32:33That sounds incredibly stressful.
32:36Seth, you know, I'm the one that's responsible for your safety on the job and you really should have told me.
32:45I know, I know, I know, it's just, people treat you different when they know that you're sick.
32:51Yeah.
32:52But there's no excuses.
32:54You're right.
32:55And I should have told you.
32:57Well, when do you get the results back?
33:00Soon, I hope.
33:02But it feels like forever.
33:05Yeah, there's nothing we can do about that now, right?
33:11What 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, a kid from the same gang as our shooting victim yesterday.
33:21And witnesses saw the watcher running from the scene.
33:24We dug in and found that both victims were persons of interest in the murder of an 18-year-old girl,
33:28seeing a Sanchez shot to death six months ago.
33:30But the DA's office couldn't convince anyone to testify against the gang, and so the case fell apart.
33:34So you're thinking someone from Sienna's family is out for vengeance?
33:37Makes sense.
33:38Apparently 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.
33:48The mother's gonna need someone with a soft touch.
33:51I'll send Nolan Juarez.
33:52They'll be sensitive.
33:53Perfect.
33:54Emile de Sanchez, 47, widow.
33:57Any other kids?
33:58No, just Sienna.
34:00To lose her husband and her child within a few years,
34:03I mean, that'll break her heart.
34:06And heart and curse.
34:08Lopez just smashed Emile de's car to a traffic cam footage
34:11leaving the area of both shootings.
34:14She's our copycat.
34:15Remember, sympathetic or not,
34:16she's our murder suspect, considered armed and dangerous.
34:19I'll copy that.
34:22Looks like the 6th Street Devils have figured out Emile de's the killer, too.
34:25Control, 7 out of 15.
34:38I have at least four armed men outside 2202 Norton.
34:41No sign of Emile de Sanchez, homeowner.
34:43I'm assuming more armed suspects inside.
34:45Requesting backup and airship.
34:47Code 3.
34:48Copy, out of 15.
34:49Backup and airship are en route.
34:50What about Emile de?
34:51Let's go see what we can see.
35:08Control, be advised, 7 out of 15.
35:11Code 6, approaching Sanchez residents from the rear.
35:14Advise responding units, possible blue on blue.
35:17Let her go.
35:26They killed my daughter.
35:27Back away.
35:29Whoa.
35:31Behind the bridge.
35:377 out of 100 shots fired at our location.
35:39Oh, no.
35:39Oh, no.
35:40Oh, no.
35:41Oh, no.
35:42Oh, no.
35:43Oh, no.
35:43Oh, no.
35:44Oh, no.
35:45Oh, no.
35:46Oh, no.
35:47Oh, no.
35:47Oh, no.
35:48Oh, no.
35:49Oh, no.
35:49Oh, no.
35:54Oh, no.
35:57Set them out at 15, we're under fire in the foot alley
35:59in the east side of this attached garage.
36:00Damn.
36:00Oh, no.
36:06Oh.
36:06Oh, no.
36:07Oh, no.
36:08Oh, no.
36:09Hey, what's your position on a liberal use of fast bands?
36:10Do it.
36:11Oh, no.
36:13Oh, no.
36:14Oh, no.
36:15Oh, no.
36:16Jen, we're gonna flash bang them. Be ready.
36:18They're low on ammo. Just wait for the reload.
36:20Copy.
36:26Now!
36:32Let's go!
36:38Not a bad hit for running back.
36:40Jen, take him.
36:42Let's go.
36:44Let's go.
36:46Nolan, we're coming up behind them.
36:48Copy that. We'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.
36:57Get on the ground, arms and legs sprayed.
37:06Come on.
37:09Get out.
37:11You, down.
37:14Secure Emilda.
37:16Drop the gun. Do it right now.
37:18Drop it.
37:20Emilda.
37:22Drop the gun.
37:23Look around.
37:24There's no chance of you walking out of this alive unless you do what I say.
37:28I don't care.
37:29They killed my daughter.
37:31They deserve to die.
37:32Every last one of them.
37:34Maybe.
37:35Maybe.
37:36But if you don't let him go, I will be forced to end your life in 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 for avenging her daughter's murder.
37:52Please.
37:53Please.
38:02On your knees.
38:03On your knees.
38:15Three days in.
38:16How are you feeling?
38:17Like an imposter.
38:18But there have been a few moments where I felt like I was making a difference that has
38:23made all those other times worth it.
38:26What about you?
38:27It doesn't really matter at this point.
38:29Unless one of y'all have a room I can rent off cheap.
38:32Sorry.
38:33No worries.
38:34Well, it was great working with y'all no matter, no 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 and gave me 24 hours to find a legal residence.
38:44We'll let you be up in a few hours.
38:46So find something.
38:47Well, I can't find a place to bring it and move in by tonight.
38:52I might have a solution.
38:54So, how mad are you?
39:07Pretty mad.
39:09How mad are you?
39:11Pretty mad.
39:13Why don't you just call it even?
39:16Yeah, I would love to, but I don't think we should.
39:22Okay.
39:25What exactly does that mean?
39:31Sometimes I worry that we got married too fast.
39:34Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
39:35Wait, wait, wait.
39:36What?
39:38Nyla, 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, but that does not change what I do for a living.
39:49Something I also love is in direct conflict with your work.
39:55Which is equally important to me.
39:58Yeah.
40:02Then I guess we have to work at trying to figure out a pathway through this.
40:09That's what I'm saying.
40:15But we can start tomorrow because Mama's tired.
40:20How about I run you a bath while you kiss the kids goodnight?
40:26That sounds good.
40:27There's no way we were that clueless.
40:31I mean, I know we were rookies, but we had some common sense.
40:36No rookie has common sense.
40:38After my first day as a TO, I wrote Harper a very long apology letter and sent her a Spocky certificate.
40:44Aw.
40:45Aw.
40:46Aw.
40:49Forget it.
40:50You made my life hell.
40:51Besides, any amount of gratitude you might have been owed was more than paid off while we were dating.
40:57Fair enough.
40:58Mm-hmm.
41:00Alright, that is it for me.
41:01I'm gonna go home and soak my entire body.
41:03Be nice.
41:04Alright, have a good night.
41:05See you tomorrow.
41:06Bye.
41:07So, uh, your boot handled himself okay out there today?
41:15Yeah.
41:16He's, um, yeah.
41:18We're, we're figuring it out.
41:22How was Texas the rest of the day?
41:27I'm about to find out.
41:28Oh.
41:30Time's up, boot.
41:31Can you find a place to live?
41:33Howdy.
41:34I sure did.
41:35Let me introduce you to my new landlord.
41:39Bradford, just welcoming the kid to the neighborhood.
41:42Pass him back to my boot.
41:45It's only temporary until I bank enough money to get my own place.
41:49Yeah, that's what every guy said when they first moved into that lot.
41:52Alright, I'll see you tomorrow.
41:54You buy yourself another shift.
41:58Don't listen to Bradford.
41:59This place is Shangri-La.
42:01All the beer, barbecue, and sports you want.
42:05And pants are always optional.
42:10Things are gonna get better.
