00:02Suss! Police!
00:20Damn it, it's locked.
00:21Suss are going down the north roof access stairwell behind a locked door.
00:24Taking the south stairwell to cut him off at the street.
00:30There's a perfect line.
00:31It could be the magic with the name of the light.
00:34All you better do is win the prize.
00:37What do you want?
00:40Oh, that's a first.
00:48Clear.
00:50Clear.
00:56Nolan.
00:59Look.
01:06715.
01:09How do I radio that in?
01:11That's, uh, 415.
01:12Mask with Jelani.
01:13Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I'm gonna
01:18win for you, like I know you want me to do.
01:27are you cleaning or are you just moving the mess around i can't find my keys because someone keeps
01:32letting our toddler play with them i cannot be late for my meeting with the captain well maybe
01:37it could be seen as a power play making them wait to hear your demands they're not demands
01:42they're respectful requests now if he doesn't adjust them to my satisfaction then they become
01:47demands found them key fob casserole she is a culinary visionary just like her mom speaking of
01:54dinner uh what time will you be home i invited a few friends over our friends or your friends
01:59they're community activists in that case i am busy i am filling in on patrol and cases are just piling
02:05up nyla 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 i am just going to tell them the same thing
02:14that i
02:14am telling you we are handling it the department is just as motivated to get bad cops off the street
02:20as you are all right maybe not just as but we are working on it for now historically there's always
02:27a lot of talk about accountability but the second the press moves on it's all swept under the rug i
02:32think it would help if the community heard from an officer who shared their concerns someone like my
02:37gorgeous smart funny talented amazing wife fine but that is just because you said i was funny and not
02:50enough people acknowledge that
02:52hmm
02:52hmm
02:55hmm
02:57hmm
02:58hmm
02:58hmm
02:58hmm
02:59hmm
03:02hmm
03:03hmm
03:03hmm
03:10hmm
03:12hmm
03:13hmm
03:25hmm
03:26hmm
03:40What the hell are you doing, boot?
03:41I'm going to work, sir.
03:42Yeah, I'm not blind.
03:44I'm asking why you've been coming to work
03:45like you're leaving for a six-month appointment.
03:46Well, this whole thing, it's an old cross-train trick
03:49I picked up from my high school football coach.
03:51Heavy backpack equals easy cardio.
03:53Well, 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 up 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 there.
04:23I 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 there 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 Watt is a good cop.
04:51She messes up as much your failure as it is hers.
04:54Wait a minute.
04:55Lucy is a great cop, and you almost washed her out.
04:57I did.
04:58But you're not me.
04:59Everyone knows I'm an exceptional T.O.
05:01You, on the other hand, have yet 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.
05:19And she's not alone.
05:21I am so over the breakup.
05:24We had friendly, professional competition
05:26long before we dated, and 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 to lose another body right now.
05:43Well, the 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 is for the jury to decide.
05:55Well, 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 on this morning's proceedings.
06:02Not at all.
06:03Just don't think I'm gonna go easy because 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 fly out my ass.
06:14Well, it still looks pretty good to me.
06:16Pretty good?
06:17I moved to have my previous comments stricken from the record.
06:20You ready for your meeting?
06:21The real question is, are they ready for me?
06:24Okay.
06:24Not one word.
06:26I was just gonna say thank 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, if I need a crime scene babysat today,
06:37you guys, my first call.
06:40We should go.
06:41Yeah.
06:42Uh, have a good meeting.
06:43Thanks.
06:44See you, Mike.
06:44Yeah.
06:45Be 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.
06:53You'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 Seth?
06:59No.
07:01Damn it.
07:06That's right.
07:07He's trying to tell me.
07:08All right, everybody, settle down.
07:10It is 8 a.m. on the dot, which 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 for a rookie to be late to roll call?
07:20There isn't one.
07:21That's right.
07:22Which means today, you'll be starting in the loss column.
07:25Moving on.
07:26Lieutenant Gray is in a meeting with a captain and a community activist.
07:30That representative is James Murray.
07:32Look, I know we all have friends lose our pensions over this mess, but they made that bet.
07:36They cross lines we can't cross.
07:38Now it's up to us to regain the community's trust.
07:40Otherwise, we'll be dealing with nonsense like this.
07:44Now, I'm sure you've all heard about this jackass running around trying 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 wannabe desperate for internet fame.
07:58You might be right.
07:59But there has been a measurable spike in crime in the neighborhood since we've been shorthanded.
08:03Look, if the residents start thinking this clown is more reliable than us, we have a huge problem.
08:07That's why today, we're going to be doing some good old-fashioned community policing.
08:11You mean foot patrol?
08:12Yeah, we're not doing that.
08:17Fine, but only to show up that masked weirdo.
08:20Everyone, get out there, shake hands, kiss some babies, hand out business cards.
08:24Let the residents feel your presence.
08:26Everyone except Nolan and Juarez, who will be on plainclothes day.
08:29All right, that's it.
08:30Be safe out there.
08:32Huh, kind of funny.
08:34When one day you guys are back in uniform, I get to wear my civvies.
08:37I'll shoot.
08:37It won't be so funny if Selena doesn't pass.
08:42I wouldn't.
08:44Ooh, how much coffee is too much coffee?
08:48How many fingers am I holding?
08:49I mean, two, but they're vibrating.
08:50Okay, take a deep breath.
08:54All right, you got this.
08:57All right, let's go over how this is going to go.
08:59Today, I am here in a purely observational capacity.
09:02I will not advise, assist, or help you in any way.
09:06Every decision will be yours.
09:08If you get into some trouble that you can't handle, I will step in.
09:11Just know that that will affect your final evaluation.
09:14Understood.
09:15Mount up.
09:23Now, to help simulate the experience of riding solo, this will be the last time I speak
09:28to you until the end of shift.
09:29Finally.
09:30Usually, I can't get you to zip it.
09:33Oh, you were serious.
09:35Okay, here we go.
09:37And by we, I mean me, because I am riding solo.
09:41You are so lucky.
09:42If Sergeant Bradford was your T.O., you'd be spending the rest of your shift scrubbing holding
09:46cells with a toothbrush.
09:47Well, I'm glad that he's not my T.O.
09:53Do you want to run alongside the shop while you reconsider your attitude?
09:56No, ma'am.
09:57Sorry.
10:01Good.
10:01Of course.
10:04Because I don't want to be that kind of T.O., ma'am.
10:06But you showing up late for your second ever roll call?
10:09Either you don't respect me or...
10:11No, of course not.
10:14Well, you're not taking your training seriously, Ridley.
10:17Officer Chin, I promise you that is not the case.
10:20I...
10:21I know it's no excuse, but I had a doctor's appointment this morning, and 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 all the decisions today, I guess that means I can do...
10:40Yes.
10:43Damn.
10:44Okay, I thought for sure that'd get you to crack.
10:47Oh, my.
10:497 Adam 15, I have an in-progress 211 home invasion at 623 Layden.
10:54RP is homeowner Walter Fields, 82.
10:57Advise RP to lock himself in the bathroom and find out if there are any firearms in the house.
11:04RP has locked himself in the first floor bathroom and is armed with a handgun.
11:09Control responding code 3.
11:217 Adam 15, shots firing side 2827 Layden.
11:24We are...
11:24I am code 6 on scene.
11:26Making entry, send backup.
11:41I am inside your house.
11:44Please, come 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 is conscious and breathing.
12:04Homeowner, this is the police.
12:06Is there anyone in that bathroom with you?
12:08No.
12:09Did you find a guy?
12:10I think I got him.
12:12All right, I'm going to need you to put that gun down.
12:16Is it down?
12:17Yeah.
12:19All right.
12:19I'm going to need you to open the door.
12:21Come toward me nice and slow with your hands where I can see them.
12:28Nice and slow.
12:28Just walk towards me, okay?
12:30I'm going to have to put you in handcuffs.
12:31What?
12:33I'm the one who's being robbed.
12:34No, I understand.
12:35It's standard procedure.
12:36It's not up for debate.
12:37Well, I know, but 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 in the hall.
12:49There have been a lot of break-ins around your leg.
12:51So I thought...
12:53Listen, I...
12:55I need to go to the hospital to make sure she's okay.
12:57I'm sorry, sir.
12:58Oh, please.
12:59She's only 17.
13:01They have to save her.
13:02They're going to do everything they can to help her, okay?
13:09Fill me in.
13:12It's...
13:15I hate playing close day.
13:18Fine, let's hear it.
13:20Well, victim is the 17-year-old granddaughter of homeowner Walter Fields.
13:23An open window in the laundry room suggests she may have been trying to sleep back in after a night
13:27out,
13:28and he mistook her for an intruder.
13:29Thanks.
13:30I'll take it from here.
13:30Okay, well, do you need me to take Walter in for processing?
13:33He's been through enough.
13:34He doesn't need to see the back of his shop.
13:36I'll handle it.
13:43I, uh, I don't expect you to respond because I know you're not here today, but I need to say
13:50something.
13:51I thought I did a pretty good job handling that call, so I don't really understand why you stepped in
13:55to take leave.
13:56You know, besides the fact that I'm supposed to be making all the decisions today,
13:59it undermined my authority with a man who is already more inclined to trust someone who looks like you over
14:04someone who looks like me.
14:06Just something to think about.
14:16Community policing in a city the size of L.A. is a lot more complicated than whatever you're used to
14:19back in Texas.
14:20You mean I can't just pop down to the bingo hall and shake hands with all my cousins and them?
14:24Uh, excuse me, officers?
14:26Yes, ma'am.
14:27What can we do you for?
14:28Would you mind helping me bring my garbage bin in?
14:31It's so heavy.
14:32Yes, ma'am.
14:32I'd be happy to.
14:35You know, I would have thought a woman in as good a shape as yourself would have no problem bringing
14:38this bin in.
14:39Well, just because a woman can do something herself doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy watching a handsome young man do
14:43it for her.
14:44All right, if there's nothing else you need from us, ma'am, we're going to need to be moving on.
14:47You have a great day, ma'am.
14:48911 is a number if you need us again.
14:49Let's go.
14:50She knows what 911 is.
14:51Well, you told me to be friendly.
14:52That kind of friendly will get you a suit.
14:54Next time, just focus on professional.
14:56Hey, excuse me, sir?
14:57You have a minute to talk?
14:58Depends.
14:59What about?
14:59Well, this is Officer Chen.
15:01I'm Officer Ridley.
15:02We're introducing ourselves around the neighborhood.
15:04We're trying to get a sense of what we can do to better serve the community.
15:07Better?
15:07Son, are you new?
15:08Actually, yes, I am.
15:12You're going to have to forgive me.
15:13I'm still learning.
15:15Okay.
15:16Well, then I'll educate you.
15:19This used to be a nice neighborhood to raise a family.
15:23Then the gang started moving in and the drugs.
15:25And now the only time the police ever seem to show up is to make an easy arrest or to
15:32use
15:32us as an example for young officers like yourself.
15:35See the watcher there?
15:36Now, I don't know if the watcher is helping, hurting, or just playing crazy.
15:41But at least he's here.
15:43And you'd be surprised what a big difference that makes.
15:46Well, sir, next time you've got a problem, you can contact me directly, and I will personally
15:52make sure that the police respond.
15:55I just might.
15:59Ridley.
16:00That's good.
16:02I would not have agreed to this if I knew we were doing foot patrol.
16:05Tell me about it.
16:06And James is having people over for dinner tonight, so I can't even put my feet up when
16:10I get home.
16:11Thanks for the invite.
16:12Oh, trust me, you do not want one.
16:14It'll be James, a bunch of angry community members, and then me answering for the sins
16:20of the LAPD.
16:21You're right.
16:21I'm good.
16:22How have things been since the scandal broke?
16:24Tense.
16:25I mean, I'm just sick of having the same conversation over and over again.
16:31God, I remember when Wesley and I used to get into it over police procedure.
16:35It was kind of hot, but also exhausting.
16:37It's much easier now that he works for the DA's office.
16:40If only I had that option.
16:43Hey, my bag!
16:50Captain, you're back.
16:52Two babies each and we still got it.
16:53Control, I need transport at the corner of Cochran and 8th for a 211.
16:57Person at suspect.
16:58Copy, show 7, Adam 15, en route.
17:04How's the war's doing?
17:05She's doing great.
17:06Me, on the other hand, I'm struggling a little bit.
17:09We had an incident that got a little dicey, and I wound up taking the lead.
17:14Afterwards, she questioned whether I was making the right call.
17:17Oh, unless she was dying or on fire, you definitely did not.
17:21I didn't even realize I was doing it.
17:23Instinct just kicked in.
17:24You gotta learn to control that impulse.
17:26Yeah.
17:28I had no idea being on the TO side of playing close date would be this hard.
17:31Of course it's hard.
17:32You've been training her for the past nine months.
17:34You're invested in her success.
17:36But the only way she will succeed is if you give her the room to fail.
17:44What can you tell me about that guy crossing the street?
17:46Late teens, early 20s.
17:485 foot 10, 6 foot tall.
17:50Slim builds, colors, and tattoos suggest that he is affiliated.
17:54If that get any closer, I'd say he's a part of the 6th Street Devils.
17:57And what's our authority to stop and talk to him?
18:00Well, the standard for probable cause in detention states that we need to have a reasonable belief
18:04that the person in question has or will commit a crime.
18:07For example, if this was a 11-532-A,
18:09deutering for the purpose of selling drugs, then we could stop him.
18:20Follow that suspect!
18:24LAPD, stop!
18:257 out of 19, we got shots fired in the alleyway of Beverly.
18:47Sir, the ambulance is on its way.
18:49I'm good, I'm good.
18:50This ain't the first time I've been shot?
18:51You're still going to the hospital.
18:53He hit a car, get away.
18:54Did you get the plane?
18:56The make?
18:58Ridley.
18:59Where did they go?
19:00What direction did they go?
19:06Control 7, Adam 15, vehicle stop on 2, Queen Charles Edward 265.
19:10The registered owner, Arnold King, has a no bail out of Long Beach.
19:13Start me another unit and be advised that I am riding solo.
19:17Copy, Adam 15, additional unit in road.
19:21Damn it.
19:24What the hell's taking so long?
19:25Sir, I need you to get back in your car.
19:27You can't just hold me here.
19:29Sir, if you do not get back in your car now,
19:32you will be in violation of peanut code section 148,
19:35resisting an officer.
19:57You have my permission to call me a badass.
19:59Sir, you are a badass.
20:03You're an embarrassment.
20:05Not only did you fail the radio in your location while chasing an armed suspect,
20:10you were unable to provide any details that might help us identify his vehicle.
20:15These are the fundamentals, Officer Ridley.
20:18Things they teach you the first week at the academy.
20:21There's no excuse, sir.
20:22You're damn right.
20:26Step outside.
20:27I need to speak to Officer Chin for a minute.
20:36Let me be blunt.
20:37Do you think Ridley has what it takes to make it through the FTO program?
20:45I think Officer Ridley shows a lot of potential.
20:49Very diplomatic.
20:50Now I need your armist opinion.
20:52I think he's smart, thoughtful, and empathetic,
20:56but he's made some very basic mistakes,
20:59which I understand at this stage in his training is to be expected.
21:05I think at this point it's too soon to tell.
21:08Every rookie makes mistakes,
21:10but we're under a microscope right now.
21:13So if you ever start to think that he might be a liability,
21:18I need you to let me know right away.
21:20Yes, sir.
21:22Bye.
21:27Officer Chin, I'm sorry.
21:28No, you need to stop apologizing, all right?
21:30Get your head in the game.
21:31Go study your rookbook.
21:33Yes, ma'am.
21:37Here the vigilantes escalated to attempted murder.
21:40Too bad he got away.
21:41Are you seriously here to gloat about how badly my rookie screwed up?
21:44Of course not.
21:45A little.
21:46Look, being a T.O. is hard.
21:49Being a good T.O. is even harder.
21:52First lesson I learned is you can't let their failures be your fault.
21:55Not in the beginning.
21:55You have to make those failures a teachable moment.
21:58Well, that's very enlightened of you.
22:00Don't sound so surprised.
22:01How's it going with Officer Texas?
22:04So far, so good.
22:05Still got half a shift left.
22:10Why are you trying to leave the scene before the ambulance arrived?
22:13I promised my grandma I'd take her to church.
22:15And you were going to take her with a bullet in your shoulder?
22:16She hates missing the homily.
22:18Well, you have been very 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 so many cops in the neighborhood, the watcher would have picked
22:27a different day to escalate to attempted murder.
22:29Yeah, but it wasn't just an escalation.
22:31This was a completely different M.O.
22:33I mean, everyone else was stopped while committing a crime.
22:36This doesn't feel like his other missions.
22:38This one feels personal.
22:39Okay, so what do those other missions have in common?
22:42They're almost all single perpetrator robberies or assaults.
22:45All in the neighborhood.
22:46And patrol's long response times have been giving him a chance to get to the scenes first.
22:52I might have an idea.
22:54So where exactly do you live?
22:55Must be pretty close to the station.
22:57Over on Stanley.
22:58I can smell the tarp hits from my apartment.
23:00Probably why I got such a good deal.
23:03Hey, what's up?
23:04Harper and I have a plan to track down the vigilante.
23:07Can you and your boot back us up?
23:08Yeah, absolutely.
23:15Seven out of 100, what's your ETA for that 415 in the alley off Fuller?
23:19Still six minutes out.
23:20Be advised, original RP has called back multiple times to report screaming from that event.
23:24Copy.
23:25We'll be there as soon as we can.
23:32Police!
23:33Hands up!
23:34Police!
23:34Show me your hands!
23:34Show me your hands!
23:35Search him, boot.
23:36Keep your hands on your head.
23:37I got a gun the whole summer right here.
23:41It's a nine millimeter.
23:43Same as the one you used to shoot Bicho.
23:45Hold on, hold on.
23:46I didn't shoot anybody.
23:50Thomas Forsythe, you're under arrest for attempted murder.
23:53I want a lawyer.
23:55Get up.
24:00Looks like you had a pretty eventful plainclothes day, officer-wise.
24:04Yes, sir.
24:06Had a few missteps, as did Officer Nolan.
24:09But overall, I'm impressed on how you handled some tricky calls today.
24:15What?
24:16I mean, does that mean I passed?
24:18Yes, you passed.
24:23Thank you, sir.
24:23You're welcome.
24:25Now, Officer Nolan, for a first-time T.O., not terrible, but definitely room for 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, a former cop, decide to start running around his neighborhood in a mask playing
24:45superhero?
24:46My client saw a need in the community and used his training as a retired law enforcement officer to lend
24:50a hand.
24:51I just wanted to make my neighborhood safer.
24:53By shooting gangbangers?
24:54I told you, that wasn't me.
24:56Check my alibi.
24:56We are, but why carry a gun if you didn't intend to use it?
24:59Come on.
25:00You know any cops, active or retired, who aren't carrying at all times?
25:19So his alibi checks out.
25:21Which means we've got a copycat.
25:28I wasn't sure if you wanted to go out after your shift, so I stashed this in the freezer just
25:32in case.
25:33Let me guess, the ice cream in there was for if I failed?
25:37Yes, but that doesn't mean we can't still eat it.
25:39See, now we're talking.
25:42How's it look?
25:44Oh, girl, it looks like you took on a dude twice your size and still won.
25:48Here's to you and being an absolute badass and crushing your plainclothes day.
25:58I am quite proud of myself.
26:00As well you should be.
26:02I mean, look how far you've come in the last nine months, how much you've grown.
26:06It's crazy thinking back to that first shift.
26:09I was in so far over my head, I can't believe I didn't get washed out.
26:14How are things going with Seth?
26:18Yeah, he had a pretty crap day.
26:21I don't know what the answer is.
26:22That's why I think we need to narrow down our action items and put them in writing for the captain.
26:29Hey, there she is.
26:31Uh, everyone, this is my wife, Nyla.
26:34Hello.
26:34Hey, hello.
26:35Good to see you.
26:36Good to meet you.
26:38Are you here to give us some real answers?
26:40Because if you're just going to parrot the department line, I'm not interested.
26:43Okay, let's just give her a few minutes to settle in.
26:45Okay, George, help yourself with some more food and wine.
26:49I'm so sorry, it got a little bigger than I had planned.
26:52You think?
26:52You said a few.
26:53In what version of the English language is this a few?
26:57I do not appreciate being ambushed in my own home.
27:00It'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?
27:11To change.
27:32Oh, could you get it?
27:34I used up all my steps for the day.
27:35Hmm, okay.
27:38Oh.
27:42It's Nyla.
27:46Hey, everything okay?
27:48Was the dinner a disaster?
27:49If by dinner you mean town hall meeting in my living room with 20 strangers, then yes.
27:54He didn't.
27:55Oh, he did.
27:55I'm sure James didn't mean for it to get that big.
27:58He probably...
28:00I'm going to stop talking and go check on the kids.
28:06What did you say to him when you left?
28:08Oh, uh, nothing, because I climbed out the window.
28:12I am not proud of it.
28:14Why not?
28:15I'd be proud of myself for not burning the house down.
28:18It's James.
28:21Tell James we're doing a spouse swap.
28:23I get you.
28:24He can have Wesley.
28:25That would solve a lot of problems.
28:30You know it's illegal to live in a vehicle parked on the street?
28:32Oh, sweet suffering, Lord.
28:33You scared the crap out of me.
28:34Yeah, exactly.
28:35You're completely exposed.
28:37Not to mention it's against the law, which you're sworn to uphold.
28:39Of course.
28:40But I can't afford to burn a place right now, all right?
28:42I've got some debts to repay.
28:44That doesn't make it better.
28:45Officers in financial trouble are much easier to corrupt.
28:48What if someone steals your vehicle?
28:49Or breaks into it and steals your service weapon?
28:51Or police equipment?
28:53You'd be terminated on the spot, which is exactly what I should do right now.
28:56No, wait.
28:56Don't do that.
28:57Please, I need this.
29:04I screwed up.
29:06All right, I played football in college and I thought I was going pro.
29:10So I spent some money before I technically had it.
29:12And you blew out your knee jumping off the roof at a frat party like an idiot.
29:17Which is a tragedy because you were destined to be one hell of a running back.
29:20Well, all that's in the past.
29:22And right now I'm giving you 24 hours to find yourself a legal place to live.
29:26Otherwise you're going to have to find yourself a third career to screw up.
29:36Mr. Fields?
29:38I'm, I remember.
29:41Hard to forget the worst moment of your life.
29:48So, um, how's Chelsea?
29:52Ten hours in surgery.
29:53And they say she's, she's going to need another one in a couple of days.
29:58Her parents will be here by then.
30:04Hey, tell me, how do families survive something like this?
30:09I mean, how am I supposed to?
30:13Well, it isn't easy.
30:15But it is possible.
30:17It just takes time.
30:20I don't, I don't think I have enough years left in me.
30:25I mean, even if Chelsea and my daughter find it in themselves to forgive me, I'll never forgive myself.
30:31Okay.
30:32It was an accident.
30:33I don't understand.
30:35When did I get so afraid?
30:38You know, I was, I was the man that people called in a crisis.
30:43Suddenly my daughter talks to me like I'm a, a child.
30:48You shouldn't do that.
30:50You know, did you remember to do this?
30:56She begged me to give that gun up.
31:00She said she would pay for a better security, a better security system.
31:07And I told her no.
31:08I said no.
31:10Come on, I can take care of myself because, you know, giving up the gun was admitting defeat.
31:16It was like acknowledging that you're not the man that you thought you were.
31:23And that terrified me, you know.
31:25Now her little girl's in there fighting for her life because I was too proud to accept my own limitations.
31:33I was too scared of looking feeble.
31:38And then all that fear, the second that I saw Chelsea laying on that floor, I realized that I didn't
31:47know what fear was.
31:49I, I had no idea.
31:58Hey.
31:59Hey.
32:00Hey, I, I, uh, got the shop all set up.
32:02I came in early to top it off with some gas.
32:04I put some air in the tires and I even got you a coffee.
32:07You know that doesn't wipe the slate clean from yesterday's mistakes, right?
32:11Yes, ma'am.
32:12Um, but I actually, I wanted to talk to you about that.
32:15The reason I came in late yesterday and, and, uh, I took my eye off the ball with the vigilante.
32:20Um, four years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer and it was aggressive and my eyes weren't very good.
32:30But I did, I did beat it.
32:32Um, but a week ago, I went in to get some routine blood work done and my results came back
32:38as irregular.
32:40I'm sorry.
32:42That sounds incredibly stressful.
32:45Seth, you know, I'm, I'm the one that's responsible for your safety on the job and you, you really should
32:53have told me.
32:53I know, I know.
32:55It's just, the people treat you different when they know that you're sick.
32:59Yeah, but there's no excuses.
33:02You're right and I should have told you.
33:05Well, when do you get the results back?
33:08Soon, I hope, but it feels like forever.
33:14Yeah, there's nothing we can do about that now, right?
33:18What do you say we focus on other people's problems for today?
33:21I'd love that.
33:23We have a lead on the copycat vigilante.
33:25Midnight shift caught a homicide, a kid from the same gang as our shooting victim yesterday.
33:29And witnesses saw the watcher running from the scene.
33:32We dug in and found that both victims were persons of interest in the murder of an 18-year-old
33:35girl,
33:36Sienna Sanchez, shot to death six months ago.
33:38But the DA's office couldn't convince anyone to testify against the gang and so the case fell apart.
33:42So you're thinking someone from Sienna's family is out for vengeance?
33:45Makes sense.
33:46Apparently our two victims bragged openly about the murder.
33:49We made a list of all her family and friends that need to have their alibis checked.
33:52We were hoping patrol would help us knock those out.
33:54Of course, whatever you need.
33:56The mother's going to need someone with a soft touch.
33:59I'll send Nolan Warrens.
34:00They'll be sensitive.
34:01Perfect.
34:02Emilda Sanchez, 47, widow.
34:05Any other kids?
34:06No, just Sienna.
34:08I mean, to lose her husband and her child within a few years, I mean, that'll break her heart.
34:14And heart and curse.
34:16Lopez just smashed Emilda's car to a traffic cam footage leaving the area of both shootings.
34:21She's our copycat.
34:23Remember, sympathetic or not, she's our murder suspect, considered armed and dangerous.
34:27I'll copy that.
34:30Looks like the Sixth Street Devils have figured out Emilda's the killer, too.
34:44Control, seven out of 15.
34:46I have at least four armed men outside 2202 Norton.
34:49No sign of Emilda Sanchez, homeowner.
34:51I'm assuming more armed suspects inside.
34:54Requesting backup and airship code three.
34:56Copy out of 15.
34:57Backup and airship are en route.
34:58What about Emilda?
34:59Let's go see what we can see.
35:16Control, be advised, 715, code 6, approaching Sanchez residents from the rear.
35:22Advise responding units, possible blue on blue.
35:33Let her go.
35:34They killed my daughter.
35:35Back away.
35:37Come on.
35:39Behind the bridge.
35:457 out of 100 shots fired at our location.
36:05Set them out, 15.
36:07We are under fire in the foot alley in the east side of the detached garage.
36:10Damn.
36:16Hey, what's your position on a liberal use of flashbangs?
36:19Do it.
36:25Chet, we're going to 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 for a running back.
36:50Jan, take him.
36:53Let's go.
36:54Nolan, we're coming up behind them.
36:56Copy that.
36:57We're in the foot alley.
36:58We have four shooters bolted up behind the Honda.
37:00Sixth Street Devils, you are surrounded and outgunned.
37:03You have five seconds to lay down your guns.
37:06Get on the ground.
37:07Arms and legs, spray.
37:14Come on.
37:17Get up.
37:20You, down.
37:22Secure Emilda.
37:24Drop the gun.
37:26Do it right now.
37:27Drop it.
37:29Emilda.
37:30Drop the gun.
37:31Look around.
37:33There's no chance of you walking out of this alive unless you do what I say.
37:36I don't care.
37:38They killed my daughter.
37:40They deserve to die.
37:41Every last one of them.
37:43Maybe.
37:45But if you don't let them go, I will be forced to end your life in order to save his.
37:50Does that sound like justice to you?
37:52I want to die.
37:55But I don't want to kill a grieving mother for avenging her daughter's murder.
38:00Please.
38:11On your knees.
38:12On your knees.
38:23Three days in.
38:25How are you feeling?
38:26Well, I was like an imposter.
38:28But there have been a few moments where I felt like I was making a difference that has
38:33made all those other times worth it.
38:35What about you?
38:36It doesn't really matter at this point.
38:38Unless one of y'all haven't moved me, I can rent off a cheap.
38:40No.
38:41Sorry.
38:42No worries.
38:43Well, it was great working with y'all, no matter how briefly.
38:45What are you talking about?
38:47Well, Tim's bouncing me.
38:48He found out I was living in my car and gave me 24 hours to find a legal residence.
38:53We'll let you be up in a few hours.
38:55So find something.
38:56Well, I can't find a place to rent and move in by tonight.
39:00I might have a solution.
39:12So, how mad are you?
39:16Pretty mad.
39:18How mad are you?
39:20Pretty mad.
39:23Why don't you just call it even?
39:26Yeah, I would love to, but I don't think we should.
39:32Okay.
39:34What exactly does that mean?
39:40Sometimes I worry that we got married too fast.
39:43Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
39:44Wait, wait, wait, what?
39:48Nyla, we've built a great life together.
39:50We have a beautiful daughter.
39:51We love each other.
39:53We do.
39:53I love you, James, but that does not change what I do for a living.
39:59Something I also love is in direct conflict with your work.
40:03Which is equally important to me.
40:06Yeah.
40:10Then I guess we have to work at trying to figure out a pathway through this.
40:18That's what I'm saying.
40:23But we can start tomorrow because Mama's tired.
40:29How about I run you a bath while you kiss the kids goodnight?
40:35That sounds good.
40:38There's no way we were that clueless.
40:40I mean, I know we were rookies, but we had some common sense.
40:44No rookie has common sense.
40:46After my first day as a T.O., I wrote Harper a very long apology letter
40:51and sent her a Spocky certificate.
40:53Aw.
40:54Aw.
40:57Forget it.
40:58You made my life hell.
41:00Besides, any amount of gratitude you might have been owed
41:03was more than paid off while we were dating.
41:05Fair enough.
41:06Mm-hmm.
41:08All right, that is it for me.
41:09I'm going to go home and soak my entire body.
41:11Be nice.
41:12All right, have a good night.
41:13See you tomorrow.
41:14All right.
41:19So, uh, your boot handled himself okay out there today?
41:24Yeah.
41:25He's, um, yeah, we're-we're figuring it out.
41:30How was Texas the rest of the day?
41:35I'm about to find out.
41:37Oh.
41:38Time's up, boot.
41:40You find a place to live?
41:41Howdy.
41:42I sure did.
41:43Let me introduce you to my new landlord.
41:47Bradford.
41:48Just welcoming the kid to the neighborhood.
41:51Pass him back to my boot.
41:54It's only temporary.
41:55Until I bank enough money to get my own place.
41:57Yeah, that's what every guy said when they first moved into that lot.
42:01All right.
42:01I'll see you tomorrow.
42:02You buy yourself another shift.
42:06Don't listen to Bradford.
42:08This place is Shangri-La.
42:10All the beer, barbecue, and sports you want.
42:13And pants are always optional.
42:18Things are gonna get better.
42:44Things are gonna get better.
42:56Damn it.
