00:00What do you want?
00:01Is that the police?
00:03What do you want?
00:05What do you want?
00:07What do you want?
00:09What do you want?
00:11What do you want?
00:13I wanna tell you all my dirty little secrets
00:16I wanna give it a day if you keep it
00:19I wanna...
00:20Damn it, it's gone.
00:21Susser come down the north roof access stairwell behind a locked door.
00:23Taking the south stairwell to cut him off at the street.
00:26I wanna give it a lie
00:28I wanna give it a little character to break up your face
00:31You could even love it with the name of the light
00:33All you ever do is win the price
00:36What do you want?
00:38Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!
00:40Well, that's a first.
00:47Clear.
00:49Clear!
00:51Mmm! Mmm!
00:53Mmm!
00:54Mmm!
00:55Nuh!
00:56Nolan.
00:58Look.
01:0523915.
01:08How do I radio that in?
01:09That's uh, 415.
01:11Mask but Jelani.
01:12I'm gonna win for you like I know you want me to do.
01:23are you cleaning or are you just moving the mess around i can't find my keys because someone keeps
01:31letting our toddler play with them i cannot be late for my meeting with the captain well maybe
01:36it could be seen as a power play making them wait to hear your demands they're not demands
01:41they're respectful requests now if he doesn't adjust them to my satisfaction then they become
01:45demands found them keep off casserole she is a culinary visionary just like her mom speaking of
01:53dinner uh what time will you be home i invited a few friends over our friends are your friends
01:58they're community activists in that case i am busy i am filling in on patrol and cases are just piling
02:04up now come on the latest corruption scandal exposed a lot of dirty cops and people want answers isn't
02:09that why you are going to see the captain i am just going to tell them the same thing that i am telling
02:13you we are handling it the department is just as motivated to get bad cops off the street as you
02:19are all right maybe not just as but we are working on it for now historically there's always a lot of
02:26talk about accountability but the second the press moves on it's all swept under the rug i think it
02:31would help if the community heard from an officer who shared their concerns someone like my gorgeous
02:37smart funny talented amazing wife fine but that is just because you said i was funny and not enough
02:50people acknowledge that
02:57hmm
03:01hmm
03:05hmm
03:11hmm
03:15hmm
03:17What the hell are you doing, Booth?
03:40I'm going to work, sir.
03:41Yeah, I'm not blind.
03:43I'm asking why you've been coming to work like you're leaving for a six-month appointment.
03:45Well, this whole thing, it's a little cross-training trick I picked up from my high school football coach.
03:50Heavy backpack equals easy cardio.
03:51Well, do it on your own time.
03:53Cops don't walk to work.
03:54I know L.A. is not a walking city, but I didn't think y'all would care so much how I got myself places.
03:59I care when it's an officer's safety issue.
04:01Aren't you worried someone's going to jump me for my milk money?
04:03No.
04:04I'm worried that some hardcore criminal pissed at you for locking up his buddy might sneak it behind you and slit your throat.
04:08That'll put an abrupt ending to your easy cardio.
04:11You're a pretty intense guy, you know that?
04:13What's your point?
04:16Woo!
04:17Do we know what day it is?
04:19Yo, I can't believe it's finally plane closed day.
04:23I mean, it's normal to be nervous, right?
04:25Yeah, of course.
04:26And listen, Nolan wouldn't have authorized it if he wasn't sure you were ready.
04:30Yeah.
04:31Yeah, yeah, you're right.
04:32I bet your plane closed day was a breeze, huh?
04:34Actually, I almost washed out.
04:37But Nolan's not Tim.
04:39And I don't think he's going to mess with your head.
04:41Yeah.
04:42You need to mess with her head.
04:43The only way to make sure she's ready.
04:44Yeah, that's not exactly my style.
04:46Your style is also being evaluated today.
04:49But Juarez is a good cop.
04:50She messes up as much your failure as it is hers.
04:53Wait a minute.
04:53Lucy is a great cop, and you almost washed her out.
04:56I did.
04:57But you're not me.
04:58Everyone knows I'm an exceptional T.O.
05:00You, on the other hand, have yet to prove yourself.
05:02It's the only way to prove a T.O. doesn't have to play mind games in order to train a good rookie.
05:07It's not enough to win.
05:08I had to crush Tim in this competition.
05:11Okay, so the contest is just about T.O. styles?
05:14I mean, what else would it be about?
05:16Nothing.
05:17She thinks it's about the breakup.
05:18And she's not alone.
05:20I am so over the breakup.
05:23We had friendly, professional competition long before we dated, and this is just that.
05:28So, back in uniform.
05:30How does it feel?
05:31Itchy.
05:32I am already sweating.
05:34But we are rooting for you today, Juarez.
05:36Yes, patrol really cannot afford to lose another body right now.
05:42The boys are obsessed with this mass vigilante.
05:45Jack, too.
05:46Whoever he is, he isn't making my job any easier.
05:48Citizen's arrest is perfectly legal.
05:50Yeah, but false imprisonment isn't.
05:51And the fuzzy line between the two is for the jury to decide.
05:53Well, at least he isn't hurting anyone.
05:56Yet.
05:58I'll be on mine, but the captain wants me to sit in on this morning's proceedings.
06:01None at all.
06:02Just don't think I'm going to go easy because we're friendly.
06:04Of course not.
06:05I'll see you up there.
06:07Wow.
06:07Look at you.
06:08Reminds me of the first day we met.
06:10I hate it.
06:11Forgot how much these pants flatten out my ass.
06:13Well, it still looks pretty good to me.
06:14Pretty good?
06:16I moved to have my previous comments stricken from the record.
06:19You ready for your meeting?
06:20The real question is, are they ready for me?
06:23Okay.
06:23Not one word.
06:25I was just going to say thank you both for your sacrifice.
06:28The detectives owe you one.
06:29You've owed me 200 bucks since the Super Bowl.
06:31I want my money.
06:32Understood.
06:33But seriously, if I need a crime scene babysat today, that's my first call.
06:39We should go.
06:40Yeah.
06:41Have a good meeting.
06:42Thanks.
06:42See you, Mike.
06:43Yeah.
06:43Be careful today.
06:45Not a fan of that detective?
06:46Not at liberty to say.
06:48Didn't see your boot in the locker room, Chen.
06:50He's late for roll call.
06:51You'll be in the hole before the day even starts.
06:53He has a few minutes.
06:55Yes, 43 seconds.
06:56Hey, have you guys seen Seth?
06:58No.
07:00Damn it.
07:05That's right.
07:06Sorry.
07:07All right, everybody.
07:08Settle down.
07:08It is 8 a.m. on the dot, which means roll call has started.
07:11And Officer Chen's boot is officially...
07:14You're late, boot.
07:14Late.
07:15Sorry.
07:16I didn't...
07:16Officer Chen, what's an acceptable excuse for a rookie to be late to roll call?
07:19There isn't one.
07:20That's right, which means today you'll be starting in the lost column.
07:24Moving on.
07:25Lieutenant Gray is in a meeting with a captain and a community activist.
07:29That representative is James Murray.
07:31Look, I know we all have friends lose their pensions over this mess, but they made that bet.
07:35They cross lines we can't cross.
07:37Now it's up to us to regain the community's trust.
07:39Otherwise we'll be dealing with nonsense like this.
07:43Now I'm sure you've all heard about this jackass running around trying to be some masked avenger.
07:47He's called the Watcher.
07:49Yeah, I'm not calling him that.
07:53He's just an attention-seeking wannabe desperate for internet fame.
07:57You might be right, but there has been a measurable spike in crime in the neighborhood since we've been shorthanded.
08:02Look, if the residents start thinking this clown is more reliable than us, we have a huge problem.
08:06That's why today we're going to be doing some good old-fashioned community policing.
08:10You mean foot patrol?
08:11Yeah, we're not doing that.
08:16Fine, but only to show up that masked weirdo.
08:18Everyone, get out there, shake hands, kiss some babies, hand out business cards.
08:23Let the residents feel your presence.
08:25Everyone except Nolan and Juarez, who will be on plainclothes day.
08:28All right, that's it.
08:28Be safe out there.
08:31Huh, kind of funny.
08:33One day you guys are back in uniform, I get to wear my savings all shit.
08:36Won't be so funny if Selena doesn't pass.
08:38Why wouldn't you?
08:43Ooh.
08:45How much coffee is too much coffee?
08:46How many fingers am I holding?
08:48I mean two, but they're vibrating.
08:49Okay.
08:50Take a deep breath.
08:53All right.
08:53You got this.
08:56All right.
08:56Let's go over how this is going to go.
08:58Today I am here in a purely observational capacity.
09:01I will not advise, assist, or help you in any way.
09:04Every decision will be yours.
09:07If you get into some trouble that you can't handle, I will step in.
09:10Just know that that will affect your final evaluation.
09:13Understood.
09:14Mount up.
09:14Now, to help simulate the experience of riding solo, this will be the last time I speak
09:27to you until the end of shift.
09:28Finally.
09:29Usually I can't get you to zip it.
09:32Oh, you're serious.
09:34Okay.
09:35Here we go.
09:36And by we, I mean me.
09:37Because I am riding solo.
09:40You are so lucky.
09:41If Sergeant Bradford was your T.O., you'd be spending the rest of your shift scrubbing
09:44holding cells with a toothbrush.
09:46Well, I'm glad that he's not my T.O.
09:52Do you want to run alongside the shop while you reconsider your attitude?
09:55No, ma'am.
09:56Sorry.
09:59Good.
10:02Because I don't want to be that kind of T.O.
10:05But you showing up late for your second ever roll call, either you don't respect me or...
10:10Of course not.
10:11Well, you're not taking your training seriously, Ridley.
10:16Officer Chin, I promise you that is not the case.
10:19I...
10:20I know it's no excuse, but I had a doctor's appointment this morning, and it ran...
10:26It ran late.
10:27So, I...
10:27It's not...
10:28It's...
10:28It's not going to happen again.
10:32Good.
10:32So, since I'm making all the decisions today, I guess that means I can do this.
10:42Damn.
10:43Okay, I thought for sure that'd get you to crack.
10:447 Adam 15, I have an in-progress 2-11 home invasion at 6-2-3 Layden.
10:53RP is homeowner Walter Fields, 82.
10:56Advice RP to lock himself in the bathroom and find out if there are any firearms in the house.
11:00Okay.
11:03RP has locked himself in the first floor bathroom and is armed with a handgun.
11:07Control, responding code 3.
11:207-15 shots, firing side, 2-8-2-7 Layden.
11:23We are...
11:23I am code 6 on scene.
11:25Making entry sent backup.
11:26Police!
11:39I am inside your house!
11:43Come out with your hands up!
11:52Call it in.
11:53I need an RA to my location.
11:58Teenage female, GSW to the chest.
12:01She is conscious and breathing.
12:03Homeowner, this is the police.
12:05Is there anyone in that bathroom with you?
12:07No.
12:08Did you find a guy?
12:09I think I got him.
12:11All right, I'm going to need you to put that gun down.
12:15Is it down?
12:16Yeah.
12:17All right.
12:18I'm going to need you to open the door.
12:20Come toward me nice and slow with your hands where I can see them.
12:23Nice and slow.
12:27Just walk towards me, okay?
12:28I'm going to have to put you in handcuffs.
12:30What?
12:32I'm the one who's being robbed.
12:33No, I understand.
12:34It's standard procedure.
12:35It's not up for debate.
12:36Well, I know, but the...
12:38Oh, my God, no.
12:40No.
12:40No, let me go.
12:41That's my granddaughter.
12:42Let me go.
12:44Woo!
12:44Woo!
12:45I heard footsteps in the hall.
12:47There have been a lot of break-ins around here lately.
12:50So I thought...
12:52Listen, I...
12:53I need to go to the hospital to make sure she's okay.
12:56I'm sorry, sir, but...
12:57No, please.
12:57She's only 17.
12:59They have to save her.
13:00They're going to do everything they can to help her, okay?
13:07Fill me in.
13:08I hate playing closed, eh?
13:17Fine, let's hear it.
13:18Well, victim is the 17-year-old granddaughter of homeowner Walter Fields.
13:22An open window in the laundry room suggests she may have been trying to sleep back in after a night out,
13:26and he mistook her for an intruder.
13:28Thanks.
13:28I'll take it from here.
13:29Okay, well, do you need me to take Walter in for processing?
13:32He's been through enough.
13:33He doesn't need to see the back of his shop.
13:35I'll handle it.
13:38I, uh...
13:42I don't expect you to respond because I know you're not here today, but I need to say something.
13:49I thought I did a pretty good job handling that call, so I don't really understand why you stepped in to take leave.
13:55You know, besides the fact that I'm supposed to be making all the decisions today,
13:58it undermined my authority with a man who is already more inclined to trust someone who looks like you
14:03or for someone who looks like me.
14:05Just something to think about.
14:06Community policing in a city the size of L.A. is a lot more complicated than whatever you're used to back in Texas.
14:18You mean I can't just pop down to the bingo hall and shake hands with all my cousins in them?
14:23Excuse me, officers?
14:25Yes, ma'am.
14:25What can we do you for?
14:26Would you mind helping me bring my garbage bin in?
14:29So heavy.
14:30Oh, yes, ma'am.
14:31I'd be happy to.
14:33You know, I would have thought a woman in as good a shape as herself would have no problem bringing this bin in.
14:37Well, just because a woman can do something herself doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy watching a handsome young man do it for her.
14:42All right, if there's nothing else you need from us, ma'am, we're going to need to be moving on.
14:45You have a great day, ma'am.
14:469-1-1 is a number if you need us again.
14:48Let's go.
14:48She knows what 9-1-1 is.
14:50Well, you told me to be friendly.
14:51You're that kind of friendly will get your suit.
14:52Next time, just focus on professional.
14:54Hey, excuse me, sir?
14:55Do you have a minute to talk?
14:57Depends.
14:57What about?
14:58Well, this is Officer Chen.
14:59I'm Officer Ridley.
15:00We're introducing ourselves around the neighborhood.
15:02We're trying to get a sense of what we can do to better serve the community.
15:05Better?
15:06Son, are you new?
15:07Actually, yes, I am.
15:11You're going to have to forgive me.
15:12I'm still learning.
15:13Okay.
15:14Well, then, I'll educate you.
15:18This used to be a nice neighborhood to raise a family.
15:21And then the gangs started moving in and the drugs.
15:24And now the only time the police ever seem to show up is to make an easy arrest or to use us as an example for young officers like yourself.
15:34See the watcher there?
15:35Now, I don't know if the watcher is helping, hurting, or just playing crazy.
15:39But at least he's here.
15:42And you'd be surprised what a big difference that makes.
15:44Well, sir, next time you got a problem, you can contact me directly.
15:49And I will personally make sure that the police respond.
15:53That's a smite.
15:58Ridley.
15:59How's it going?
16:01I would not have agreed to this if I knew we were doing foot patrol.
16:04Tell me about it.
16:05And James is having people over for dinner tonight, so I can't even put my feet up when I get home.
16:10Thanks for the invite.
16:11Oh, trust me, you do not want one.
16:13It'll be James, a bunch of angry community members, and then me answering for the sins of the LAPD.
16:19You're right.
16:20I'm good.
16:21How have things been since the scandal broke?
16:23Tense.
16:24I mean, I'm just sick of having the same conversation over and over again.
16:28God, I remember when Wesley and I used to get into it over police procedure.
16:33It was kind of hot, but also exhausting.
16:36It's much easier now that he works for the DA's office.
16:39If only I had that option.
16:42Hey, my bag!
16:48Happy on your back!
16:49Two babies each and we still got it.
16:52Control, I need transport at the corner of Cochran and 8th for a 2-11.
16:56Person at suspect.
16:57Copy, show 7, Adam 15, in route.
17:02How's the war's doing?
17:03She's doing great.
17:05Me, on the other hand, I'm struggling a little bit.
17:07We had an incident that got a little dicey, and I wound up taking the lead.
17:13Afterwards, she questioned whether I was making the right call.
17:16Unless she was dying or on fire, you definitely did not.
17:19I didn't even realize I was doing it.
17:21Instinct just kicked in.
17:22You gotta learn to control that impulse.
17:25Yeah.
17:26I had no idea being on the TO side of playing close date would be this hard.
17:30Of course it's hard.
17:31You've been training her for the past nine months.
17:33You're invested in her success.
17:34But the only way she will succeed is if you give her the room to fail.
17:42What can you tell me about that guy crossing the street?
17:45Late teens, early 20s.
17:475'10", 6' tall.
17:48Slim builds, colors, and tattoos suggest that he is affiliated.
17:52If that get any closer, I'd say he's a part of the 6th Street Devils.
17:56What's our authority to stop and talk to him?
17:58Well, the standard for probable cause and detention states that we need to have a reasonable belief
18:02that the person in question has or will commit a crime.
18:05For example, if this was a 11-532-A loitering for the purpose of selling drugs,
18:10then we could stop him.
18:11Follow that suspect!
18:21LAPD shots!
18:23Seven out of 19, we got shots fired in the alleyway of Beverly.
18:26Hours and miles.
18:27From the hair and on the breast.
18:30The very crooked sides and sex.
18:33We have a trap in crap this day that this day on exams.
18:38Can't see if it's uptown that holds off my table.
18:42Sir, the ambulance is on its way.
18:47I'm good, I'm good.
18:48This is the first time I've been shot.
18:50You're still going to the hospital.
18:51He had a car, get away.
18:53Did you get the plane?
18:54The mink?
18:56Ridley.
18:57Where did they go?
18:58What direction did they go?
19:04Control 7-9-15, vehicle stop on 2 Queen Charles Edward 265.
19:08The registered owner, Arnold King, has a no bail out of Long Beach.
19:11Start me another unit and be advised that I am riding solo.
19:15Copy item 15, additional unit in road.
19:19Damn it.
19:22What the hell is taking so long?
19:23Sir, I need you to get back in your car.
19:25You can't just hold me here.
19:27Sir, if you do not get back in your car now,
19:30you will be in violation of penal code section 148 resisting an officer.
19:41You have my permission to call me a badass.
19:59You are a badass.
20:01You're an embarrassment.
20:02Not only did you fail the radio in your location while chasing an armed suspect,
20:07you were unable to provide any details that might help us identify his vehicle.
20:13These are the fundamentals, Officer Ridley.
20:16Things they teach you the first week at the academy.
20:19There's no excuse, sir.
20:20You're damn right.
20:21Step outside.
20:25I need to speak to Officer Chin for a minute.
20:34Let me be blunt.
20:36Do you think Ridley has what it takes to make it through the FTO program?
20:40I think Officer Ridley shows a lot of potential.
20:47Very diplomatic.
20:48Now I need your armless opinion.
20:50I think he's smart, thoughtful, and empathetic,
20:54but he's made some very basic mistakes,
20:57which I understand at this stage in his training is to be expected.
21:01I think at this point it's too soon to tell.
21:06Every rookie makes mistakes,
21:07but we're under a microscope right now.
21:11So if you ever start to think that he might be a liability,
21:16I need you to let me know right away.
21:18Yes, sir.
21:20All right.
21:25Officer Chin, I'm sorry.
21:26No, you need to stop apologizing, all right?
21:28Get your head in the game.
21:29Go study your Rookbook.
21:31Yes, ma'am.
21:35Here the vigilante has escalated to attempted murder.
21:37Too bad he got away.
21:39Are you seriously here to gloat about how badly my rookie screwed up?
21:42Of course not.
21:43A little.
21:44Look, being a T.O. is hard.
21:47Being a good T.O. is even harder.
21:50First lesson I learned is you can't let their failures be your fault.
21:53Not the beginning.
21:54You have to make those failures a teachable moment.
21:56Well, that's very enlightened of you.
21:58Don't sound so surprised.
21:59How's it going with Officer Texas?
22:01So far, so good.
22:03Still got half a shift left.
22:04Mm-hmm.
22:05Why are you trying to leave the scene before the ambulance arrived?
22:11Promised my grandma I'd take her to church.
22:12And you were going to take her with a bullet in your shoulder?
22:14She hates missing the homily.
22:16Well, you have been very unhelpful.
22:18I'm a devil, baby.
22:19Devils take it to the grave.
22:20Oh, what a motto.
22:21You think with there being so many cops in the neighborhood, the Watcher would have picked
22:25a different day to escalate to attempted murder.
22:27Yeah, but it wasn't just an escalation.
22:29This was a completely different M.O.
22:31I mean, everyone else was stopped while committing a crime.
22:34This doesn't feel like his other missions.
22:36This one feels personal.
22:37Okay, so what do those other missions have in common?
22:40They're almost all single perpetrator robberies or assaults.
22:43All in the neighborhood.
22:44And patrol's long response times have been giving him a chance to get to the scenes first.
22:50I might have an idea.
22:52So where exactly do you live?
22:53Must be pretty close to the station.
22:55Over on Stanley?
22:56I can smell the tall fish from my apartment.
22:58Probably why I got such a good deal.
23:01Hey, what's up?
23:02Harper and I have a plan to track down the vigilante.
23:05Can you and your boot back us up?
23:06Yeah, absolutely.
23:12Seven out of 100, what's your ETA for that 415 in the alley off Fuller?
23:16Still six minutes out.
23:18Be advised, original RP has called back multiple times to report screaming from that event.
23:22Copy.
23:22We'll be there as soon as we can.
23:26Police!
23:31Hands up!
23:32Police!
23:32Show me your hands!
23:32Show me your hands!
23:33Search them, boot.
23:33Keep your hands on your head!
23:34I got a gun in the hole from my right hip.
23:39It's a 9mm.
23:41Same as the one used to shoot Beecho.
23:43Hold on, hold on.
23:44I didn't shoot anybody.
23:47Thomas Forsythe?
23:49You're under arrest for attempted murder.
23:51I want a lawyer.
23:53Get up!
23:56It looks like you had a pretty eventful plainclothes day, Officer Lawrence.
24:02Yes, sir.
24:03Had a few missteps, as did Officer Nolan.
24:07But overall, I'm impressed on how you handled some tricky calls today.
24:11What?
24:14I mean, does that mean I passed?
24:16Yes, you passed.
24:21Thank you, sir.
24:21You're welcome.
24:23Now, Officer Nolan, for a first-time T.O., not terrible.
24:28But definitely room for improvement.
24:31Yes, sir.
24:31That's all.
24:35Good job.
24:37Explain something to us, Tom.
24:38What makes a middle-aged guy, a former cop, decide to start running around his neighborhood
24:42in a mask playing superhero?
24:44My client saw a need in the community and used his training as a retired law enforcement
24:47officer to lend a hand.
24:49I just wanted to make my neighborhood safer.
24:51By shooting gangbangers?
24:52I told you, that wasn't me.
24:54Check my alibi.
24:54We are, but why carry a gun if you didn't intend to use it?
24:57Come on.
24:58You know any cops active or retired who aren't carrying at all times?
25:01So, his alibi checks out.
25:19Which means we've got a copycat.
25:24Woo!
25:25I wasn't sure if you wanted to go out after your shift, so I stashed this in the freezer
25:29just in case.
25:30Let me guess, the ice cream in there was for if I failed?
25:33Yes.
25:34But that doesn't mean we can't still eat it.
25:36See, now we're talking.
25:40How's it look?
25:41Oh, girl, it looks like you took on a dude twice your size and still won.
25:46Here's to you and being an absolute badass and crushing your plain clothes day.
25:52I am quite proud of myself.
25:58As well, you should be.
25:59I mean, look how far you've come in the last nine months, how much you've grown.
26:02It's crazy thinking back to that first shift.
26:06I was in so far over my head, I can't believe I didn't get washed out.
26:11How are things going with Seth?
26:13Yeah, he had a pretty crap day.
26:17I don't know what the answer is.
26:20That's why I think we need to narrow down our action items and put them in writing for
26:24the captain.
26:26Hey, there she is.
26:28Uh, everyone, this is my wife, Nyla.
26:31Hello.
26:31Are you here to give us some real answers?
26:37Because if you're just going to parrot the department line, I'm not interested.
26:40Okay, let's just give her a few minutes to settle on.
26:43Okay, George?
26:44Help yourself for some more food and wine.
26:46I'm so sorry.
26:48It got a little bigger than I planned.
26:49You think?
26:50You said a few.
26:51In what version of the English language is this a few?
26:54I do not appreciate being ambushed in my own home.
26:57It's not an ambush.
27:00Word got around, okay?
27:01More people wanted to come.
27:02What was I supposed to say?
27:03No.
27:04It's a complete sentence, James.
27:07Where are you going?
27:08To change.
27:21Oh, could you get it?
27:31I used up all my steps for the day.
27:33Hmm, okay.
27:36Oh.
27:40It's Nyla.
27:43Hey, everything okay?
27:45Was the dinner a disaster?
27:46If by dinner you mean town hall meeting in my living room with 20 strangers,
27:50then yes.
27:51He didn't.
27:52Oh, he did.
27:53I'm sure James didn't mean for it to get that big.
27:55He probably...
27:57I'm going to stop talking and go check on the kids.
28:03What did you say to him when you left?
28:05Oh, nothing, because I climbed out the window.
28:09I am not proud of it.
28:11Why not?
28:12I'd be proud of myself for not burning the house down.
28:15It's James.
28:18Tell James we're doing a spouse swap.
28:20I get you.
28:21He can have Wesley.
28:22That would solve a lot of problems.
28:27You know it's illegal to live in a vehicle parked on the street?
28:29Sweet suffering, Lord.
28:31You scared the crap out of me.
28:32Exactly.
28:33You're completely exposed.
28:34Not to mention it's against the law, which you're sworn to uphold.
28:36Of course.
28:38But I can't afford to burn a place right now, all right?
28:40I've got some debts to repay.
28:41That doesn't make it better.
28:43Officers in financial trouble are much easier to corrupt.
28:45What if someone steals your vehicle or breaks into it and steals your service weapon or police equipment?
28:50You'd be terminated on the spot, which is exactly what I should do right now.
28:53No, wait.
28:54Don't do that.
28:54Please.
28:54I need this.
28:58I screwed up.
29:03All right, I played football in college and I thought I was going pro.
29:07So I spent some money before I technically had it.
29:10And you blew out your knee, jumped off the roof at a frat party like an idiot.
29:13Which is a tragedy because you were destined to be one hell of a running back.
29:18Well, all that's in the past.
29:19And right now, I'm giving you 24 hours to find yourself a legal place to live.
29:24Otherwise, you're going to have to find yourself a third career to screw up.
29:33Mr. Fields?
29:36I'm...
29:36I remember.
29:39Hard to forget the worst moment of your life.
29:43So, um, how's Chelsea?
29:49Ten hours in surgery.
29:51And they say she's going to need another one in a couple of days.
29:56Her parents will be here by then.
30:01Hey, tell me, how do families survive something like this?
30:06I mean, how am I supposed to?
30:10Well, it isn't easy.
30:11But it is possible.
30:14It just takes time.
30:17I don't...
30:18I don't think I have enough years left in me.
30:22I mean, even if Chelsea and my daughter find it in themselves to forgive me, I'll never forgive myself.
30:28Okay.
30:29It was an accident.
30:30I don't understand.
30:31When did I get so afraid?
30:34You know, I was the man that people called in a crisis.
30:40Suddenly my daughter talks to me like I'm a child.
30:45You shouldn't do that.
30:48You know, did you remember to do this?
30:50She begged me to give that gun up.
30:58She said she would pay for a better security...
31:00A better security system.
31:03And I told her no.
31:06I said no.
31:07Come on.
31:08I can take care of myself.
31:09Because, you know, giving up the gun was admitting defeat.
31:13It was like acknowledging that you're not the man that you thought you were.
31:18And that terrified me, you know.
31:23Now, her little girl's in there fighting for her life.
31:27Because I was too proud to accept my own limitations.
31:31I was too scared of looking feeble.
31:35And then all that fear.
31:39The second that I saw Chelsea laying on that floor, I realized that I didn't know what fear was.
31:45I had no idea.
31:55Hey.
31:56Hey.
31:56Hey, I got the shop all set up.
31:59I came in early to top it off with some gas.
32:01I put some air in the tires.
32:02I even got you a coffee.
32:04You know that doesn't wipe the slate clean from yesterday's mistakes, right?
32:08Yes, ma'am.
32:09But actually, I wanted to talk to you about that.
32:11The reason I came in late yesterday and I took my eye off the ball with the vigilante.
32:19Four years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer.
32:22And it was aggressive.
32:24And my eyes weren't very good.
32:27But I did beat it.
32:29But a week ago, I went in to get some routine blood work done.
32:33And my results came back as irregular.
32:37I'm sorry.
32:39That sounds incredibly stressful.
32:42Seth, you know, I'm the one that's responsible for your safety on the job.
32:48And you really should have told me.
32:50I know, I know.
32:51It's just people treat you different when they know that you're sick.
32:56Yeah.
32:57But there's no excuses.
32:59You're right.
33:00And I should have told you.
33:02When do you get the results back?
33:05Soon, I hope.
33:07But it feels like forever.
33:11Yeah, there's nothing we can do about that now, right?
33:15What do you say we focus on other people's problems for today?
33:18I'd love that.
33:19We have a lead on the coffee camp vigilante.
33:22Midnight shift caught a homicide.
33:23A kid from the same gang as our shooting victim yesterday.
33:26And witnesses saw the watcher running from the scene.
33:28We dug in and found that both victims were persons of interest in the murder of an 18-year-old girl.
33:33Sienna Sanchez shot to death six months ago.
33:35But the DA's office couldn't convince anyone to testify against the gang.
33:38And so, the case fell apart.
33:39So, you're thinking someone from Sienna's family is out for vengeance?
33:42Makes sense.
33:43Apparently, our two victims bragged openly about the murder.
33:45We made a list of all her family and friends that need to have their alibis checked.
33:49We were hoping patrol would help us knock those out.
33:51Of course.
33:52Whatever you need.
33:52The mother's going to need someone with a soft touch.
33:56I'll send Nolan Juarez.
33:57They'll be sensitive.
33:58Perfect.
33:59Emilda Sanchez, 47, widow.
34:02Any other kids?
34:03No, just Sienna.
34:04I mean, to lose her husband and her child within a few years, I mean, that'll break her heart.
34:11And heart and curse.
34:13Lopez just smashed Emilda's car to a traffic cam footage leaving the area of both shootings.
34:18She's our copycat.
34:20Remember, sympathetic or not, she's our murder suspect considered armed and dangerous.
34:24Copy that.
34:24It looks like the 6th Street Devils have figured out Emilda's the killer, too.
34:41Control, 7 out of 15.
34:43I have at least four armed men outside 2202 Norton.
34:46No sign of Emilda Sanchez, homeowner.
34:48I'm assuming more armed suspects inside.
34:50Requesting backup and airship code 3.
34:53Copy, out of 15.
34:54Backup and airship are en route.
34:55What about Emilda?
34:56Let's go see what we can see.
34:57Control, be advised, 7 out of 15.
35:15Code 6, approaching Sanchez residents from the rear.
35:19Advise responding units, possible blue on blue.
35:22Let her go.
35:31They killed my daughter.
35:32Back away.
35:36Out of the bridge.
35:427 out of 100, shots fired at our location.
35:44Set them out of 15.
36:04We are under fire in the foot alley in the east side of this attached garage.
36:07Hey, what's your position on a liberal use of flashbangs?
36:16Do it.
36:22Chet, we're going to flashbang them.
36:23Be ready.
36:24They're low on ammo.
36:25Just wait for the reload.
36:26Copy.
36:32Now.
36:33Now.
36:37Let's go.
36:44Not a bad hit for a running back.
36:47Jan, take him.
36:50Let's go.
36:51Nolan, we're coming up behind them.
36:53Copy, Dad.
36:54We're in the foot alley.
36:55We have four shooters posted up behind the Honda.
36:57Sixth Street Devils, you are surrounded and outgunned.
37:00You have five seconds to lay down your guns,
37:03get on the ground, arms and legs sprayed.
37:07Come on.
37:14Get up.
37:17You, down.
37:19Secure Emilda.
37:21Drop the gun.
37:22Do it right now.
37:24Drop it.
37:25Emilda.
37:26Emilda.
37:27Drop the gun.
37:28Look around.
37:30There's no chance of you walking out of this alive
37:32unless you do what I say.
37:33I don't care.
37:35They killed my daughter.
37:37They deserve to die.
37:38Every last one of them.
37:40Maybe.
37:42But if you don't let them go,
37:43I will be forced to end your life in order to save his.
37:47Does that sound like justice to you?
37:49I want to die.
37:50But I don't want to kill a grieving mother
37:54for avenging her daughter's murder.
37:57Please.
38:08On your knees.
38:08Three days in.
38:21How are you feeling?
38:23Well, I'm like an imposter.
38:25But there have been a few moments
38:26where I felt like I was making a difference
38:28that has made all those other times worth it.
38:32What about you?
38:33It doesn't really matter at this point.
38:35Unless one of y'all haven't moved,
38:36I can run off the seat.
38:37No.
38:38Sorry.
38:38No worries.
38:39Well, it was great working with y'all,
38:40no matter how briefly.
38:42What are you talking about?
38:43Well, Tim's bouncing me.
38:45He found out I was living in my car
38:46and gave me 24 hours to find a legal residence.
38:50Let you be up in a few hours.
38:51So find something.
38:53Well, I can't find a place you're renting
38:54and moving by tonight.
38:57I might have a solution.
39:07So, how mad are you?
39:12Pretty mad.
39:15How mad are you?
39:17Pretty mad.
39:20Don't you just call it even?
39:21I would love to, but I don't think we should.
39:28Okay.
39:31What exactly does that mean?
39:36Sometimes I worry that we got married too fast.
39:39Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
39:41Wait, wait, wait, what?
39:43Nyla, we've built a great life together.
39:46We have a beautiful daughter.
39:48We love each other.
39:49We do.
39:50I love you, James,
39:52but that does not change what I do for a living.
39:56Something I also love
39:57is in direct conflict with your work.
40:00Which is equally important to me.
40:03Yeah.
40:07Then I guess
40:08we have to work at
40:11trying to figure out a pathway through this.
40:14That's what I'm saying.
40:20But
40:20we can start tomorrow
40:22because Mama's tired.
40:26How about
40:26I run you a bath
40:28while you kiss the kids goodnight?
40:31That sounds good.
40:34There's no way
40:35we were that clueless.
40:37I mean, I know we were rookies,
40:38but we had
40:39some common sense.
40:41No rookie has common sense.
40:42After my first day
40:44as a T.O.,
40:45I wrote Harper
40:46a very long apology letter
40:48and sent her
40:48a Spoggy certificate.
40:49Aw.
40:50Aw.
40:53Forget it.
40:54You made my life hell.
40:56Besides,
40:57any amount of gratitude
40:58you might have been owed
40:59was more than paid off
41:01while we were dating.
41:02Fair enough.
41:03Mm-hmm.
41:04All right,
41:05that is it for me.
41:06I'm going to go home
41:06and soak my entire body
41:08in ice.
41:09All right, have a good night.
41:10See you tomorrow.
41:10All right.
41:15So, uh,
41:17your boot
41:18handled himself
41:19okay out there today?
41:20Yeah.
41:21He's, um,
41:23yeah,
41:23we're,
41:24we're figuring it out.
41:27How was Texas
41:28the rest of the day?
41:32I'm about to find out.
41:33Oh.
41:35Time's up, boot.
41:36You find a place to live?
41:37Howdy.
41:39I sure did.
41:40Let me introduce you
41:40to my new landlord.
41:44Bradford,
41:45just welcoming the kid
41:46to the neighborhood.
41:47Pass him back to my boot.
41:50It's only temporary
41:51until I bank enough money
41:53to get my own place.
41:54Yeah,
41:54that's what every guy said
41:55when they first moved
41:56into that lot.
41:56All right.
41:58I'll see you tomorrow.
41:59You buy yourself
42:00another shift.
42:03Don't listen to Brad
42:04for this place
42:05is Shangri-La.
42:07All the beer,
42:08barbecue,
42:08and sports you want.
42:10And pants
42:11are always optional.
42:12Things are gonna get better.
42:17Things are gonna get better.
42:17Things are gonna get better.
