00:02Stop! Police!
00:20Damn it, it's locked.
00:21Susser going down the north roof access stairwell behind a locked door.
00:24Taking the South's stairwell to cut him off at the street.
00:30You could be the magic with the name of the light.
00:34All you wanna do is win the price.
00:37What do you want?
00:39Oh, that's a first.
00:48Clear.
00:50Clear.
00:51There.
00:56Nolan.
00:59Look.
01:06It's turning on 15.
01:09How do I read her that in?
01:10That's, uh, 415.
01:12My Spitalanny.
01:13Whoa!
01:14Whoa!
01:15Whoa!
01:16Whoa!
01:17I'm gonna win for you like I know you want me to do.
01:27Are you cleaning, or are you just moving the mess around?
01:30I can't find my keys because someone keeps letting our toddler play with them.
01:34I cannot be late for my meeting with the captain.
01:37Well, maybe it could be seen as a power play, making him wait to hear your demands.
01:41They're not demands. They're respectful requests.
01:44Now, if he doesn't address them to my satisfaction, then they become demands.
01:48Hmm. Found them.
01:50Key fob casserole. She's a culinary visionary, just like her mom.
01:53Speaking of dinner, what time will you be home? I invited a few friends over.
01:57Our friends or your friends?
01:59They're community activists.
02:01In that case, I am busy. I am filling in on patrol and cases are just piling up.
02:05Nyla, come on. The latest corruption scandal exposed a lot of dirty cops and people want answers.
02:10Isn't that why you are going to see the captain?
02:12I am just going to tell them the same thing that I am telling you. We are handling it.
02:16The department is just as motivated to get bad cops off the street as you are.
02:22All right, maybe not just as, but we are working on it.
02:25For now, historically, there's always a lot of talk about accountability, but the second the press moves on, it's all
02:31swept under the rug.
02:32I think it would help if the community heard from an officer who shared their concerns.
02:36Someone like my gorgeous, smart, funny, talented, amazing wife.
02:44Fine.
02:45But that is just because you said I was funny and not enough people acknowledge that.
03:01I'm telling you, it's going to be funny.
03:02What's this?
03:02What's this?
03:03The bipcally silescal
03:03The bipcally silescal
03:04The bipcally silescal
03:08The bipcally silescal
03:14It's a little bit
03:40What the hell are you doing, Booth?
03:41I'm going to work, sir.
03:42Yeah, I'm not blind.
03:43I'm asking why you've been coming to work
03:45like you're leaving for a six-month appointment.
03:46Well, this whole thing,
03:47it's a little cross-training trick
03:49I picked up from my high school football coach.
03:51Heavy backpack equals easy cardio.
03:52Well, do it on your own time.
03:54Cops don't walk to work.
03:55I know L.A. is not a walking city,
03:57but I didn't think y'all would care so much
03:59how I got myself places.
04:00I care when it's an officer's safety issue.
04:02What, you worried someone's going to jump me
04:03for my milk money?
04:04No.
04:05I'm worried that some hardcore criminal
04:06pissed at you for locking up his buddy
04:07might sneak it behind you and slit your throat.
04:09That'll put an abrupt ending to your easy cardio.
04:12You're a pretty intense guy.
04:13You know that?
04:14What's your point?
04:17Woo!
04:18Do we know what day it is?
04:21Yo, I can't believe it's finally plane closed day.
04:24I mean, it's normal to be nervous, right?
04:26Yeah, of course.
04:27And listen, Nolan wouldn't have authorized it
04:29if he wasn't sure you were ready.
04:31Yeah.
04:32Yeah, yeah, you're right.
04:33I bet your plane closed day was a breeze, huh?
04:35Actually, I almost washed out.
04:39But Nolan's not Tim.
04:40And I don't think he's going to mess with your head.
04:42Yeah.
04:43You need to mess with her head.
04:44The only way to make sure she's ready.
04:45Yeah, that's not exactly my style.
04:47Your style is also being evaluated today.
04:50But Wada's is a good cop.
04:51She messes up as much your failure as it is hers.
04:54Wait a minute.
04:54Lucy is a great cop, and you almost washed her out.
04:57I did, but you're not me.
04:59Everyone knows I'm an exceptional T.O.
05:01You, on the other hand, you have to prove yourself.
05:03It's the only way to prove a T.O.
05:05doesn't have to play mind games
05:06in order to train a good rookie.
05:08It's not enough to win.
05:10I have to crush Tim in this competition.
05:12Okay, so the contest is just about T.O. styles?
05:15I mean, what else would it be about?
05:17Nothing.
05:18She thinks it's about the breakup.
05:20And she's not alone.
05:21I am so over the breakup.
05:24We had friendly, professional competition
05:26long before we dated,
05:27and this is just that.
05:29So, back in uniform.
05:31How does it feel?
05:32Itchy.
05:33I am already sweating.
05:35But we are rooting for you today, Juarez.
05:38Patrol really cannot afford
05:39to lose another body right now.
05:43The boys are obsessed with this mass vigilante.
05:46Jack, too.
05:47Whoever he is, he isn't making my job any easier.
05:49Citizen's arrest is perfectly legal.
05:51Yeah, but false imprisonment isn't,
05:52and the fuzzy line between the two
05:53is for the jury to decide.
05:54Well, at least he isn't hurting anyone.
05:57Yet.
05:59I hope you don't mind,
06:00but the captain wants me to sit in
06:01on this morning's proceedings.
06:02None at all.
06:03Just don't think I'm gonna go easy
06:04because we're friendly.
06:05Of course not.
06:06I'll see you up there.
06:07Wow.
06:08Look at you.
06:09Reminds me of the first day we met.
06:11I hate it.
06:12Forgot how much these pants flatten out my ass.
06:14Well, so it's pretty good to me.
06:16Pretty good?
06:17I moved to have my previous comments
06:19stricken from the record.
06:20You ready for your meeting?
06:21The real question is,
06:22are they ready for me?
06:24Okay.
06:24Not one word.
06:26I was just gonna say
06:27thank you both for your sacrifice.
06:29The detectives owe you one.
06:30You've owed me 200 bucks since the Super Bowl.
06:32I want my money.
06:33Understood.
06:34But seriously,
06:35if I need a crime scene babysat today,
06:37you guys are my first call.
06:39Mm-hmm.
06:40Hmm.
06:40We should go.
06:41Yeah.
06:42Have a good meeting.
06:43Thanks.
06:43See you, Mike.
06:44Yeah.
06:44Be careful today.
06:46Not a fan of that detective?
06:47Not at liberty to say.
06:50Didn't see your boot in the locker room, Chen.
06:51He's late for roll call.
06:52You'll be in the hole before the day even starts.
06:54He has a few minutes.
06:56Yes, 43 seconds.
06:58Hey, uh, have you guys seen sex?
06:59No.
07:01Damn it.
07:06That's right.
07:07He's trying to leave a message.
07:08All right, everybody, settle down.
07:09It is 8 a.m. on the dot,
07:11which means roll call has started,
07:12and Officer Chen's boot is officially...
07:14You're late, boot.
07:16Late.
07:16Sorry, I didn't...
07:18Officer Chen, what's an acceptable excuse
07:19for a rookie to be late to roll call?
07:20There isn't one.
07:21That's right,
07:22which means today
07:23you'll be starting in the lost column.
07:25Moving on.
07:26Lieutenant Gray is in a meeting
07:27with a captain and a community activist.
07:29Ooh.
07:30That representative is James Murray.
07:32Look, I know we all have friends
07:33lose their pensions over this mess,
07:35but they made that bet.
07:36They cross lines we can't cross.
07:37Now it's up to us
07:39to regain the community's trust.
07:40Otherwise, we'll be dealing
07:41with nonsense like this.
07:44Now, I'm sure you've all heard
07:45about this jackass running around
07:47trying to be some masked Avenger.
07:48He's called the Watcher.
07:50Yeah, I'm not calling him that.
07:55He's just an attention-seeking
07:56wannabe desperate for Internet fame.
07:58But you might be right.
07:59But there has been a measurable spike
08:00in crime in the neighborhood
08:01since we've been shorthanded.
08:03Look, if the residents start thinking
08:04this clown is more reliable than us,
08:05we have a huge problem.
08:07That's why today,
08:08we're going to be doing
08:09some good old-fashioned community policing.
08:11You mean foot patrol?
08:12Yeah, we're not doing that.
08:17Fine, but only to show up
08:18that masked weirdo.
08:20Everyone, get out there,
08:21shake hands, kiss some babies,
08:23hand out business cards.
08:24Let the residents feel your presence.
08:26Everyone except Nolan and Juarez,
08:27who will be on plainclothes day.
08:29All right, that's it.
08:29Be safe out there.
08:32Huh, kind of funny.
08:34If one day you guys are back in uniform,
08:36I get to wear my civvies.
08:37I'll share.
08:37It won't be so funny
08:38if Selena doesn't pass.
08:42Why wouldn't?
08:44Ooh.
08:46How much coffee is too much coffee?
08:47How many fingers am I holding?
08:49I do, but they're vibrating.
08:50Okay.
08:51Take a deep breath.
08:54All right, you got this.
08:57All right, let's go over
08:58how this is going to go.
08:58Today, I am here
09:00in a purely observational capacity.
09:02I will not advise, assist,
09:04or help you in any way.
09:05Every decision will be yours.
09:08If you get into some trouble
09:09that you can't handle,
09:10I will step in.
09:11Just know that that will affect
09:12your final evaluation.
09:14Understood.
09:15Mount up.
09:22Now, to help simulate
09:24the experience of riding solo,
09:26this will be the last time
09:27I speak to you
09:28until the end of shift.
09:29Finally.
09:30Usually, I can't get you to zip it.
09:33Oh, you're serious?
09:35Okay, here we go.
09:37And by we, I mean me,
09:38because I am riding solo.
09:41You are so lucky.
09:42If Sergeant Bradford was your T.O.,
09:44you'd be spending the rest of your shift
09:45scrubbing holding cells
09:46with a toothbrush.
09:48Well, I'm glad
09:48that he's not my T.O.
09:53Do you want to run
09:54alongside the shop
09:54while you reconsider your attitude?
09:56No, ma'am.
09:57Sorry.
10:00Good.
10:04Because I don't want
10:04to be that kind of T.O., ma'am.
10:06But you showing up late
10:07for your second ever roll call,
10:09either you don't respect me
10:11or...
10:11No, of course not.
10:14Well, you're not taking
10:15your training seriously, Ridley.
10:17Officer Chin,
10:18I promise you
10:19that is not the case.
10:20I...
10:21I know it's no excuse,
10:23but I had a doctor's appointment
10:24this morning,
10:25and it ran...
10:27It ran late.
10:28So it's not...
10:29It's not going to happen again.
10:32Good.
10:34So, since I'm making
10:35all the decisions today,
10:37I guess that means
10:38I can do this.
10:43Damn.
10:44Okay, I thought for sure
10:45that'd get you to crack.
10:47Oh, my.
10:497 Adam 15,
10:50I have an in-progress
10:51211 home invasion

10:58in the bathroom
10:59and find out
10:59if there are any firearms

11:04RP has locked himself
11:05in the first floor bathroom
11:07and is armed
11:07with a handgun.
11:09Control responding
11:10code 3.
11:217 Adam 15,
11:22shots firing side
11:222827 Layden.
11:24We are...
11:24I am code 6 on scene,
11:26making entry sent backup.
11:40Police!
11:41I am inside your house!
11:44Come out with your hands up!
11:53Call it in.
11:56I need an RA to my location.
11:59Teenage female GSW to the chest.
12:02She was conscious
12:03and breathing.
12:04Homeowner,
12:04this is the police.
12:06Is there anyone
12:06in that bathroom with you?
12:08No.
12:09Did you find a guy?
12:10I think I got him.
12:12All right,
12:12I'm gonna need you
12:13to put that gun down.
12:16Is it down?
12:17Yeah.
12:18All right.
12:19I'm gonna need you
12:20to open the door,
12:21come toward me nice and slow
12:23with your hands
12:23where I can see them.
12:28Nice and slow.
12:28Just walk towards me, okay?
12:30I'm gonna have to
12:30put you in handcuffs.
12:31What?
12:33I'm the one
12:33who's being robbed.
12:34No, I understand.
12:35It's standard procedure.
12:36It's not up for debate.
12:37Well, I know,
12:39but the...
12:39Oh, my God, no.
12:41No.
12:41No, let me go.
12:42That's my granddaughter.
12:44Let me go!
12:47I heard footsteps
12:48in the hall.
12:49There have been
12:49a lot of break-ins
12:50around your leg.
12:51So I thought,
12:53listen,
12:54I need to go
12:55to the hospital
12:56to make sure
12:56she's okay.
12:57I'm sorry, sir,
12:58I believe you.
12:58Oh, please.
12:59She's only 17.
13:01They have to save her.
13:02They're gonna do
13:02everything they can
13:03to help her, okay?
13:09Fill me in.
13:11It's...
13:15I hate playing
13:16close to A.
13:18Fine, let's hear it.
13:19Well, Victor
13:20is the 17-year-old
13:21granddaughter
13:21of homeowner
13:22Walter Fields.
13:23An open window
13:24in the laundry room
13:25suggests she may have
13:26been trying to sleep
13:26back in after a night out
13:27and he mistook her
13:28for an intruder.
13:29Thanks.
13:29I'll take it from here.
13:30Okay, well,
13:31do you need me
13:31to take Walter in
13:32for processing?
13:33He's been through enough.
13:34He doesn't need
13:35to see the back
13:35of his shop.
13:36I'll handle it.
13:43I, uh...
13:45I don't expect
13:46you to respond
13:47because I know
13:48you're not here today,
13:49but I need to say something.
13:51I thought I did
13:52a pretty good job
13:52handling that call,
13:53so I don't really understand
13:54why you stepped in
13:55to take leave.
13:56You know, besides the fact
13:57that I'm supposed
13:57to be making
13:58all the decisions today,
13:59it undermined
14:00my authority
14:01with a man
14:01who is already
14:02more inclined
14:03to trust someone
14:03who looks like you
14:04or for someone
14:05who looks like me.
14:06Just something
14:07to think about.
14:15Community policing
14:16in a city the size
14:17of L.A. is a lot
14:17more complicated
14:18than whatever you're
14:19used to back in Texas.
14:20You mean I can't
14:21just pop down
14:21to the bingo hall
14:22and shake hands
14:23with all my cousins
14:23and them?
14:24Uh, excuse me,
14:26officers?
14:26Yes, ma'am.
14:27What can we do you for?
14:28Would you mind
14:29helping me bring
14:29my garbage bin in?
14:31It's so heavy.
14:31Yes, ma'am.
14:32I'd be happy to.
14:35You know,
14:35I would have thought
14:35a woman in as good
14:36a shape as yourself
14:37would have no problem
14:38bringing this bin in.
14:39Well, just because
14:40a woman can do
14:40something herself
14:41doesn't mean she
14:42doesn't enjoy
14:42watching a handsome
14:43young man do it
14:43for her.
14:44All right,
14:44if there's nothing
14:45else you need
14:45from us, ma'am,
14:45we're gonna need
14:46to be moving on.
14:47You have a great day,
14:47ma'am.
14:489-1-1 is a number
14:49if you need us again.
14:49Let's go.
14:50She knows what 9-1-1 is.
14:51Well, you told me
14:52to be friendly.
14:52That kind of friendly
14:53will get you a suit.
14:54Next time,
14:54just focus on professional.
14:56Hey, excuse me, sir.
14:56Do you have a minute
14:57to talk?
14:58Depends.
14:59What about?
14:59Well, this is
15:00Officer Chen.
15:01I'm Officer Ridley.
15:02We're introducing
15:02ourselves around
15:03the neighborhood.
15:04We're trying to get
15:05a sense of what we
15:05can do to better
15:06serve the community.
15:07Better?
15:08Son, are you new?
15:08Actually, yes, I am.
15:12You're gonna have
15:13to forgive me.
15:13I'm still learning.
15:15Okay.
15:16Well, then,
15:16I'll educate you.
15:19This used to be
15:21a nice neighborhood
15:21to raise a family.
15:23Then the gang
15:23started moving in
15:24and the drugs
15:25and now the only time
15:27the police ever
15:28seem to show up
15:29is to make an easy
15:30arrest or to use us
15:32as an example
15:33for young officers
15:34like yourself.
15:35See the watcher there?
15:36Now, I don't know
15:37if the watcher
15:38is helping, hurting
15:39or just playing crazy
15:41but at least he's here
15:43and you'd be surprised
15:44what a big difference
15:45that makes.
15:46Well, sir,
15:48next time you got
15:48a problem,
15:49you can contact me
15:50directly and I will
15:51personally make sure
15:52that the police respond.
15:54I just might.
15:59Ridley,
16:01how's good?
16:02I would not have
16:03agreed to this
16:04if I knew
16:04we were doing foot patrol.
16:05Tell me about it.
16:06And James is having
16:07people over for dinner
16:08tonight so I can't
16:09even put my feet up
16:10when I get home.
16:11Thanks for the invite.
16:12Oh, trust me,
16:13you do not want one.
16:14It'll be James,
16:15a bunch of angry
16:16community members
16:17and then me
16:18answering for the sins
16:19of the LAPD.
16:21You're right,
16:21I'm good.
16:22How have things been
16:23since the scandal broke?
16:24Tense.
16:25I mean,
16:26I'm just sick
16:26of having the same
16:27conversation over
16:29and over again.
16:30God,
16:31I remember when
16:32Wesley and I used
16:32to get into it
16:33over police procedure.
16:34It was kind of hot
16:36but also exhausting.
16:37It's much easier
16:38now that he works
16:38for the DA's office.
16:40If only I had
16:41that option.
16:43Hey, my bag!
16:50Happy on your back!
16:51Two babies each
16:52and we still got it.
16:53Control,
16:54I need transport
16:55at the corner of
16:55Cochran and 8th
16:56for a 2-11.
16:57Person at suspect.
16:59Copy,
16:59show 7 out of 15
17:00in route.
17:04How's the war's doing?
17:05She's doing great.
17:06Me, on the other hand,
17:07I'm struggling
17:08a little bit.
17:08We had an incident
17:10that got a little dicey
17:12and I wound up
17:13taking the lead.
17:14Afterwards,
17:15she questioned
17:16whether I was
17:16making the right call.
17:17Oh, unless she was
17:18dying or on fire,
17:19you definitely did not.
17:21I didn't even realize
17:22I was doing it.
17:23Instinct just kicked in.
17:24You gotta learn
17:25to control that impulse.
17:26Yeah.
17:28I had no idea
17:29being on the TO side
17:30of playing close date
17:30would be this hard.
17:31Of course it's hard.
17:32You've been training her
17:33for the past nine months.
17:34You're invested
17:35in her success.
17:36But the only way
17:37she will succeed
17:38is if you give her
17:40the room to fail.
17:44What can you tell me
17:45about that guy
17:45crossing the street?
17:46Late teens,
17:47early 20s.
17:48Five foot ten,
17:49six foot tall.
17:50Slim builds,
17:51colors and tattoos
17:52suggest that he is
17:53affiliated.
17:54Without getting any closer,
17:55I'd say he's a part
17:55of the Sixth Street Devils.
17:57What's our authority
17:58to stop and talk to him?
18:00Well, the standard
18:01for probable cause
18:01and detention states
18:02that we need to have
18:03a reasonable belief
18:04that the person
18:04in question has
18:06or will commit a crime.
18:06For example,
18:07if this was a 11-5-32-A
18:09loitering for the purpose
18:10of selling drugs,
18:11then we could stop him.
18:20Follow that suspect!
18:23LAPD, stop!
18:24Seven out of 19,
18:25we got shots fired
18:26in the alleyway
18:27of Beverly.
18:47Sir, the ambulance
18:48is on its way.
18:49I'm good, I'm good.
18:50This ain't the first time
18:50I've been shot.
18:51You're still going
18:52to the hospital.
18:53He had a car,
18:53get away.
18:54Did you get the plate?
18:56The make?
18:57Ridley.
18:59Where did they go?
19:00What direction did they go?
19:05Control 7, Adam 15.
19:07Vehicle stop on 2,
19:08Queen Charles Edward 265.
19:10The registered owner,
19:11Arnold King,
19:11has a no bail
19:12out of Long Beach.
19:13Start me another unit
19:14and be advised
19:15that I am riding solo.
19:17Copy, Adam 15.
19:18Additional unit in road.
19:21Damn it.
19:24What the hell
19:24is taking so long?
19:25Sir, I need you
19:26to get back in your car.
19:27You can't just hold me here.
19:29Sir, if you do not
19:31get back in your car now,
19:32you will be in violation
19:33of Pinot Code Section
19:34148 resisting an officer.
19:56You have my permission
19:58to call me a badass.
20:01You are a badass.
20:03You're an embarrassment.
20:04Not only did you fail
20:06the radio in your location
20:07while chasing an armed suspect,
20:10you are unable
20:10to provide any details
20:12that might help us
20:13identify his vehicle.
20:15These are the fundamentals,
20:17Officer Ridley.
20:18Things they teach you
20:19the first week
20:20at the academy.
20:21There's no excuse, sir.
20:22You're damn right.
20:26Step outside.
20:27I need to speak
20:28to Officer Chin
20:28for a minute.
20:36Let me be blunt.
20:38Do you think Ridley
20:40has what it takes
20:41to make it through
20:41the FTO program?
20:45I think Officer Ridley
20:47shows a lot of potential.
20:49Very diplomatic.
20:50Now I need your armist opinion.
20:52I think he's smart,
20:54thoughtful,
20:55and empathetic,
20:56but he's made
20:57some very basic mistakes,
20:58which I understand
21:00at this stage
21:01in his training
21:01is to be expected.
21:05I think at this point
21:06it's too soon to tell.
21:08Every rookie makes mistakes,
21:10but we're under
21:11a microscope right now.
21:13So if you ever
21:14start to think
21:16that he might be a liability,
21:18I need you to let me know
21:19right away.
21:20Yes, sir.
21:22All right.
21:27Officer Chin,
21:28I'm sorry.
21:28No, you need
21:28to stop apologizing,
21:30all right?
21:30Get your head in the game.
21:31Go study your rookbook.
21:33Yes, ma'am.
21:37Here the vigilante's
21:38escalated to attempted murder.
21:40Too bad he got away.
21:41Are you seriously here
21:42to gloat about how badly
21:43my rookie screwed up?
21:44Of course not.
21:45A little.
21:46Look, being a T.O.
21:48is hard.
21:48Being a good T.O.
21:50is even harder.
21:52First lesson I learned
21:53is you can't let
21:53their failures be your fault,
21:55not the beginning.
21:56You have to make
21:56those failures
21:57a teachable moment.
21:58Well, that's very
21:58enlightened of you.
22:00Don't sound so surprised.
22:01How's it going
22:02with Officer Texas?
22:04So far, so good.
22:05Still got half a shift left.
22:06Hmm.
22:10Why are you trying
22:11to leave the scene
22:11before the ambulance arrived?
22:13I promised my grandma
22:14I'd take her to church.
22:15And you were going to take her
22:15with a bullet in your shoulder?
22:16She hates missing the homily.
22:18Well, you have been
22:19very unhelpful.
22:20I'm a devil, baby.
22:21Devils take it to the grave.
22:22Oh, what a motto.
22:24You think with there being
22:25so many cops in the neighborhood,
22:26the Watcher would have
22:27picked a different day
22:27to escalate to attempted murder.
22:29Yeah, but it wasn't
22:30just an escalation.
22:31This was a completely
22:32different M.O.
22:33I mean, everyone else
22:34was stopped
22:34while committing a crime.
22:36This doesn't feel
22:37like his other missions.
22:38This one feels personal.
22:39Okay, so what do
22:41those other missions
22:41have in common?
22:42They're almost all
22:43single perpetrator robberies
22:44or assaults
22:45all in the neighborhood.
22:46And patrol's long
22:47response times
22:48have been giving him
22:49a chance to get
22:49to the scenes first.
22:52I might have an idea.
22:54So where exactly
22:55do you live?
22:55Must be pretty close
22:56to the station.
22:57Over on Stanley?
22:58I can smell the tarp
22:59pitch from my apartment.
23:00Probably why I got
23:01such a good deal.
23:03Hey, what's up?
23:04Harper and I have a plan
23:05to track down
23:06the vigilante.
23:07Can you and your boot
23:07back us up?
23:08Yeah, absolutely.
23:14Seven out of 100,
23:16what's your ETA
23:16for that 415
23:17in the alley off Fuller?
23:19Still six minutes out.
23:20Be advised,
23:20original RPS
23:21called back multiple times
23:22to report screaming
23:23from that event.
23:24Copy.
23:24We'll be there
23:25as soon as we can.
23:32Police!
23:33Hands up!
23:34Police!
23:34Show me your hands!
23:34Show me your hands!
23:35Search them, boot.
23:35Keep your hands on your head!
23:36I got a gun
23:37and the hole
23:37from my right hip.
23:41It's a 9mm.
23:43Same as the one
23:43used to shoot Bicho.
23:45Hold on, hold on.
23:46I didn't shoot anybody.
23:50Thomas Forsythe,
23:51you're under arrest
23:51for attempted murder.
23:53I want a lawyer.
23:55Get up!
24:00Looks like you had
24:01a pretty eventful
24:03plainclothes day,
24:04officer-wise.
24:04Yes, sir.
24:06Had a few missteps.
24:07As did Officer Nolan.
24:09But overall,
24:11I'm impressed on how
24:12you handled
24:12some tricky calls today.
24:15What?
24:16I mean,
24:16does that mean I passed?
24:18Yes, you passed.
24:22Thank you, sir.
24:23You're welcome.
24:25Now, Officer Nolan,
24:26for a first-time T.O.,
24:29not terrible,
24:30but definitely room
24:31for improvement.
24:33Yes, sir.
24:34All right.
24:35That's all.
24:36Good job.
24:39Explain something to us, Tom.
24:40What makes a middle-aged guy,
24:42a former cop,
24:43decide to start running
24:43around his neighborhood
24:44in a mask
24:45playing superhero?
24:46My client saw a need
24:47in the community
24:47and used his training
24:48as a retired law enforcement
24:49officer to lend a hand.
24:51I just wanted
24:51to make my neighborhood safer.
24:53By shooting gangbangers?
24:54I told you,
24:55that wasn't me.
24:56Check my alibi.
24:56We are,
24:57but why carry a gun
24:58if you didn't intend to use it?
24:59Come on.
25:00You know any cops,
25:01active or retired,
25:02who aren't carrying
25:02at all times?
25:19So this alibi checks out.
25:21Which means we've got a copycat.
25:26Woo!
25:27I wasn't sure
25:28if you wanted to go out
25:29after your shift,
25:30so I stashed this in the freezer
25:32just in case.
25:33Let me guess,
25:34the ice cream in there
25:34was for if I failed?
25:36Yes.
25:37But that doesn't mean
25:38we can't still eat it.
25:39See, now we're talking.
25:42How's it look?
25:44Oh, girl,
25:45it looks like you took on
25:46a dude twice your size
25:47and still won.
25:48Here's to you
25:49and being an absolute badass
25:51and crushing
25:52your plain clothes day.
25:55Hmm.
25:58I am quite proud of myself.
26:00As well you should be.
26:02I mean, look how far
26:03you've come in the last
26:04nine months,
26:04how much you've grown.
26:06It's crazy thinking back
26:07to that first shift.
26:09I wasn't so far
26:10over my head,
26:11I can't believe
26:11I didn't get washed out.
26:13Hmm.
26:14How are things going
26:15with Seth?
26:18Yeah, he had
26:19a pretty crap day.
26:21I don't know
26:21what the answer is.
26:22That's why I think
26:23we need to narrow down
26:24our action items
26:25and put them in writing
26:26for the captain.
26:28Hey, there she is.
26:30Uh, everyone,
26:31this is my wife, Nyla.
26:34Hello.
26:34Good to meet you.
26:38Are you here
26:38to give us
26:39some real answers?
26:40Because if you're just
26:40going to parrot
26:41the department line,
26:42I'm not interested.
26:43Okay, let's just give her
26:44a few minutes
26:44to settle on, okay, George?
26:46Help yourself
26:47for some more food and wine.
26:49I'm so sorry.
26:50It got a little bigger
26:51than I had planned.
26:52You think?
26:52You said a few.
26:53In what version
26:54of the English language
26:55is this a few?
26:57I do not appreciate
26:57being ambushed
26:59in my own home.
26:59It's not an ambush.
27:02Word got around, okay?
27:04More people wanted to come.
27:05What was I supposed to say?
27:06No.
27:06It's a complete sentence, James.
27:09Where are you going?
27:10To change.
27:32Oh, could you get it?
27:34I used up all my steps
27:35for the day.
27:36Hmm, okay.
27:38Oh.
27:42It's Nyla.
27:46Hey, everything okay?
27:47Was the dinner a disaster?
27:49If by dinner you mean
27:50town hall meeting
27:51in my living room
27:52with 20 strangers,
27:53then yes.
27:54He didn't.
27:55Oh, he did.
27:55I'm sure James didn't mean
27:57for it to get that big.
27:58He probably...
28:00I'm going to stop talking
28:01and go check on the kids.
28:06What did you say to him
28:07when you left?
28:08Oh, uh, nothing
28:09because I climbed out the window.
28:12I am not proud of it.
28:14Why not?
28:15I'd be proud of myself
28:15for not burning the house down.
28:18It's James.
28:21Tell James we're doing
28:22a spouse swap.
28:23I get you.
28:24He can have Wesley.
28:25That would solve
28:26a lot of problems.
28:30You know it's illegal
28:30to live in a vehicle
28:31parked on the street?
28:32Oh, sweet suffering, Lord.
28:33You scared the crap out of me.
28:34Exactly.
28:35You're completely exposed.
28:36Not to mention
28:37it's against the law,
28:38which you're sworn to uphold.
28:39Of course.
28:40But I can't afford
28:41to bring a place right now,
28:42all right?
28:42I've got some debts to repay.
28:44That doesn't make it better.
28:45Officers in financial trouble
28:46are much easier to corrupt.
28:48What if someone
28:48steals your vehicle
28:49or breaks into it
28:50and steals your service weapon
28:51or police equipment?
28:53You'd be terminated on the spot,
28:54which is exactly
28:55what I should do right now.
28:56No, wait.
28:56Don't do that.
28:57Please.
28:59I need this.
29:04I screwed up.
29:06All right, I played football
29:07in college
29:07and I thought
29:08I was going pro.
29:10So I spent some money
29:11before I technically had it.
29:12And you blew out your knee
29:13jumping off the roof
29:14at a frat party
29:15like an idiot,
29:17which is a tragedy
29:18because you were destined
29:19to be one hell of a running back.
29:20Well, all that's in the past.
29:22And right now
29:22I'm giving you 24 hours
29:24to find yourself
29:24a legal place to live.
29:26Otherwise,
29:27you're going to have to find yourself
29:27a third career to screw up.
29:36Mr. Fields?
29:39I'm...
29:39I remember.
29:41Hard to forget
29:42the worst moment
29:43of your life.
29:48So, um,
29:51how's Chelsea?
29:52Ten hours in surgery
29:53and they say she's...
29:55she's going to need
29:56another one
29:57in a couple of days.
29:58Her parents
29:59will be here by then.
30:04Hey, tell me,
30:05how do families
30:06survive something like this?
30:08I mean,
30:09how...
30:11how am I supposed to?
30:13Well, it isn't easy.
30:15But it is possible.
30:17It just
30:18takes time.
30:20I don't...
30:21I don't think
30:22I have enough years
30:23left in me.
30:25I mean,
30:25even if Chelsea
30:26and my daughter
30:27find it in themselves
30:28to forgive me,
30:29I'll never forgive myself.
30:30Okay.
30:31It was an accident.
30:33I don't understand.
30:35When did I get so afraid?
30:38You know,
30:39I was...
30:39I was the man
30:40that people called
30:41in a crisis.
30:43Suddenly,
30:43my daughter talks to me
30:44like I'm a...
30:45a child.
30:48You shouldn't do that.
30:50You know,
30:51did you remember
30:51to do this?
30:56She begged me
30:57to give that gun up.
31:00She said she would pay
31:02for a better securities...
31:04a better security system.
31:06And I told her no.
31:08I said no.
31:10Come on.
31:11I can take care of myself
31:12because, you know,
31:14giving up the gun
31:14was admitting defeat.
31:16It was like acknowledging
31:19that you're not the man
31:20that you thought you were.
31:23And that terrified me,
31:25you know?
31:25Now her little girl's
31:27in there fighting
31:28for her life
31:29because I was too proud
31:31to accept my own limitations.
31:33I was too scared
31:35of looking feeble.
31:37And then
31:38all that fear,
31:41the second that I saw
31:43Chelsea laying on that floor,
31:44I realized that
31:46I didn't know
31:47what fear was.
31:49I...
31:50I had no idea.
32:00I got the shot ball set up.
32:02I came in early
32:02to top it off
32:03with some gas.
32:04I put some air in the tires.
32:05I even got you a coffee.
32:07You know that doesn't
32:08wipe the slate clean
32:09from yesterday's mistakes, right?
32:11Yes, ma'am.
32:13But I actually
32:13wanted to talk to you
32:14about that reason
32:15I came in late yesterday
32:16and I took my eye
32:18off the ball
32:19with the vigilante.
32:22Four years ago
32:23I was diagnosed
32:24with cancer
32:25and it was aggressive
32:26and my eyes
32:29weren't very good
32:30but I did...
32:30I did beat it.
32:32But a week ago
32:33I went in
32:34to get some
32:35routine blood work done
32:36and my results
32:38came back
32:38as irregular.
32:40I'm sorry.
32:42That sounds
32:43incredibly stressful.
32:45Seth,
32:46you know
32:47I'm the one
32:49that's responsible
32:49for your safety
32:50on the job
32:51and you really
32:52should have told me.
32:53I know.
32:54I know.
32:54It's just
32:57people treat you
32:58different when they
32:58know that you're sick.
32:59Yeah.
33:00But there's no excuses.
33:02You're right
33:03and I should have
33:05told you.
33:05When do you get
33:06the results back?
33:08Soon.
33:09I hope.
33:10But
33:12it feels like forever.
33:14Yeah.
33:15There's nothing
33:15we can do
33:15about that now, right?
33:18What do you say
33:19we focus on
33:20other people's
33:20problems for today?
33:21I'd love that.
33:23We have a lead
33:24on the copycat vigilante.
33:25Midnight shift
33:26caught a homicide,
33:26a kid from the same
33:27gang as our
33:28shooting victim yesterday.
33:29And witnesses
33:30saw the watcher
33:31running from the scene.
33:32We dug in
33:32and found that
33:32both victims
33:33were persons of interest
33:34in the murder
33:34of an 18-year-old girl,
33:36Sienna Sanchez,
33:36shot to death
33:37six months ago.
33:38But the DA's office
33:38couldn't convince anyone
33:39to testify against the gang
33:40and so the case fell apart.
33:42So you're thinking
33:43someone from Sienna's family
33:44is out for vengeance?
33:45Makes sense.
33:46Apparently our two victims
33:47bragged openly
33:48about the murder.
33:49We made a list
33:49of all her family
33:50and friends
33:50that need to have
33:51their alibis checked.
33:52We were hoping
33:53patrol would help us
33:54knock those out.
33:54Of course,
33:55whatever you need.
33:56The mother's gonna need
33:56someone with a soft touch.
33:59I'll send Nolan Juarez.
34:00They'll be sensitive.
34:01Perfect.
34:02Emile de Sanchez,
34:0347, widow.
34:05Any other kids?
34:06No, just Sienna.
34:08To lose her husband
34:09and her child
34:09within a few years,
34:11I mean,
34:11that'll break her heart.
34:14And heart and curse.
34:16Lopez just smashed
34:17Emile de's card
34:18to a traffic cam footage
34:19leaving the area
34:20of both shootings.
34:21She's our copycat.
34:23Remember,
34:23sympathetic or not,
34:24she's our murder suspect
34:25considered armed and dangerous.
34:27Copy that.
34:30Looks like the 6th Street Devils
34:31have figured out
34:32Emile de's the killer too.
34:44Control,
34:447 out of 15.
34:46I have at least
34:46four armed men
34:47outside 2202 Norton.
34:49No sign of
34:49Emile de Sanchez,
34:50homeowner.
34:51I'm assuming
34:52more armed suspects inside.
34:54Requesting backup
34:54and airship,
34:55code 3.
34:56Copy,
34:56item 15.
34:57Backup and airship
34:58are en route.
34:58What about Emile de?
34:59Let's go see
35:00what we can see.
35:16Control,
35:17be advised,
35:187 out of 15.
35:19Code 6,
35:19approaching Sanchez residents
35:20from the rear.
35:22Advise,
35:23responding units,
35:24possible blue on blue.
35:33Let her go.
35:34They killed my daughter.
35:35Back away.
35:36Come on.
35:39Get behind the bridge.
35:447 out of 100 shots fired
35:46at our location.
36:05Set them out of 15.
36:07We are under fire
36:07in the foot alley
36:08in the east side
36:09of the detached garage.
36:10Damn.
36:16Hey, what's your position
36:17at a liberal use
36:18of flashbangs?
36:19Do it.
36:25Chet, we're going
36:25to flashbang them.
36:26Be ready.
36:27They're low on ammo.
36:28Just wait for the reload.
36:29Copy.
36:35Now.
36:42Let's go.
36:47Not a bad hit
36:48for a running back.
36:50Jan, take him.
36:53Let's go.
36:54Nolan, we're coming
36:55up behind them.
36:56Copy that.
36:57We're in the foot alley.
36:58We have four shooters
36:59posted up behind the Honda.
37:00Sixth Street Devils,
37:01you are surrounded
37:02and outgunned.
37:03You have five seconds
37:04to lay down your guns,
37:06get on the ground,
37:06arms and legs sprayed.
37:14Come on.
37:17Get out.
37:20You, down.
37:22Secure Emilda.
37:24Drop the gun.
37:25Do it right now.
37:27Drop it.
37:28Emilda,
37:30drop the gun.
37:31Look around.
37:33There's no chance
37:34of you walking
37:34out of this alive
37:35unless you do
37:36what I say.
37:36I don't care.
37:38They killed my daughter.
37:39They deserve to die.
37:41Every last one of them.
37:43Maybe.
37:44But if you don't
37:45let them go,
37:46I will be forced
37:47to end your life
37:48in order to save his.
37:50Does that sound
37:51like justice to you?
37:52I want to die.
37:55But I don't want
37:56to kill a grieving mother
37:57for avenging
37:58her daughter's murder.
38:00Please.
38:02Please.
38:11on your knees.
38:23Three days in.
38:25How are you feeling?
38:26Well,
38:27it's like an imposter.
38:28But there have been
38:29a few moments
38:30where I felt like
38:31I was making a difference
38:32that has made
38:33all those other times
38:34worth it.
38:35What about you?
38:36It doesn't really matter
38:37at this point.
38:38Unless one of y'all
38:39have a room
38:39I can rent off
38:40and see you.
38:40No.
38:41Sorry.
38:42No worries.
38:43Well, it was great
38:43working with y'all,
38:44no matter how briefly.
38:45What are you talking about?
38:47Well, Tim's bouncing me.
38:48He found out
38:49I was living in my car
38:50and gave me 24 hours
38:51to find a legal residence.
38:53We'll let you be up
38:54in a few hours.
38:55So find something.
38:56Well, I can't find
38:57a place you're renting
38:57and moving in
38:58by tonight.
39:00I might have
39:01a solution.
39:11So,
39:12how mad are you?
39:16Pretty mad.
39:18How mad are you?
39:20Pretty mad.
39:23Why don't you just
39:23call it even?
39:26Yeah, I would love to,
39:27but I don't think
39:29we should.
39:32Okay.
39:34What exactly does that mean?
39:40Sometimes I worry
39:41that we got married
39:42too fast.
39:43Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
39:44whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
39:44Wait, wait, wait.
39:45What?
39:47Nyla,
39:48we've built
39:49a great life together.
39:50We have a beautiful daughter.
39:51We love each other.
39:53We do.
39:53I love you, James,
39:55but that does not change
39:56what I do for a living.
39:59Something I also love
40:01is in direct conflict
40:02with your work.
40:04Which is equally
40:05important to me.
40:06Yeah.
40:10Then I guess
40:13we have to work at
40:15trying to figure out
40:16a pathway through this.
40:18That's what I'm saying.
40:23But we can start tomorrow
40:25because Mama's tired.
40:29How about
40:30I run you a bath
40:32while you kiss the kids
40:33goodnight?
40:35That sounds good.
40:38There's no way
40:39we were that clueless.
40:40I mean, I know
40:41we were rookies,
40:42but we had
40:42some common sense.
40:44No rookie
40:45has common sense.
40:46After my first day
40:48as a T.O.,
40:49I wrote Harper
40:49a very long
40:50apology letter
40:51and sent her
40:52a Spocky certificate.
40:53Aww.
40:53Aww.
40:57Forget it.
40:58You made my life hell.
41:00Besides,
41:00any amount of gratitude
41:01you might have been owed
41:03was more than paid off
41:04while we were dating.
41:05Fair enough.
41:06Mm-hmm.
41:08All right,
41:08that is it for me.
41:09I'm going to go home
41:10and soak my entire body
41:11in ice.
41:12All right,
41:12have a good night.
41:13See you tomorrow.
41:14Night.

41:37Oh.
41:38Time's up, boot.

41:51Pass him back to my boot.
41:54It's only temporary
41:55until I bank enough money
41:56to get my own place.
41:57Yeah,
41:58that's what every guy said
41:58when they first moved
41:59into that lot.
42:01All right,
42:02I'll see you tomorrow.
