Transcript
00:00Stop! Police!
00:20Ten minutes long.
00:21Stop circling down the north roof access stairwell behind the locked door.
00:23Taking the south stairwell to cut him off at the street.
00:30It could be the magic of the name of the light.
00:34All you better do is earn the price.
00:36What do you want?
00:40Well, that's a first.
00:47Clear.
00:49Clear.
00:56Nolan.
00:58Look.
01:00715.
01:06How do I rate her that in?
01:08That's a 415.
01:10Mask with Jelani.
01:12Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:17I'm gonna win for you like I know you want me to.
01:21Are you cleaning or are you just moving the mess around?
01:29I can't find my keys because someone keeps letting our toddler play with them.
01:33I cannot be late for my meeting with the captain.
01:36Well, maybe it could be seen as a power play, making him wait to hear your demands.
01:40They're not demands, they're respectful requests.
01:43Now, if he doesn't address them to my satisfaction, then they become demands.
01:47Hmm, found them.
01:48Kefob Casserole. She's a culinary visionary, just like her mom.
01:52Speaking of dinner, what time will you be home? I invited a few friends over.
01:56Our friends or your friends?
01:58They're community activists.
02:00In that case, I am busy. I am filling in on patrol and cases are just piling up.
02:04Nyla, come on. The latest corruption scandal exposed a lot of dirty cops and people want answers.
02:09Isn't that why you are going to see the captain?
02:11I am just going to tell them the same thing that I am telling you. We are handling it.
02:15The department is just as motivated to get bad cops off the street as you are.
02:21All right, maybe not just as, but we are working on it.
02:24For now, historically, there's always a lot of talk about accountability, but the second the press moves on, it's all swept under the rug.
02:31I think it would help if the community heard from an officer who shared their concerns.
02:35Someone like my gorgeous, smart, funny, talented, amazing wife.
02:43Fine.
02:45But that is just because you said I was funny and not enough people acknowledge that.
02:51I am now in the world.
02:53I am a fan of my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather.
02:57And I am kind of calling the people who are working for you.
02:59I am happy that you're working on a lot of things.
03:01I see you.
03:02There are people who are working on this time.
03:04Stay comfortable, please don't have to worry, don't have to worry, don't be comfortable.
03:08There are people who are anxious to be sure they are feeling the same thing.
03:10Stay up.
03:11Stay independent.
03:13Stay safe.
03:15Stay safe.
03:18Stay safe.
03:19Stay safe.
03:20What 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?
04:20Yo, I can't believe it's finally plain clothes 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 plain clothes 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 Watt 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, you have 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.
05:09I have 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.
05:21I am so over the breakup.
05:23We had friendly, professional competition long before we dated.
05:26And 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.
05:37Patrol 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 hope you don't mind, 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 taken 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, you guys, my first call.
06:37We should go.
06:40Yeah.
06:41Have a good meeting.
06:42Thanks.
06:42See you next time.
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 sex?
06:58No.
07:00Two minutes.
07:05That's right.
07:06Sometimes we...
07:07All right, everybody, settle 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.
07:15Late.
07:15Sorry, I 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.
07:54He'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.
08:19Everyone get out there, shake hands, kiss some babies, hand out business cards.
08:23Let the residents feel your presence.
08:25Everyone accept Nolan and Juarez, who will be on plainclothes day.
08:28All right, that's it.
08:28Be safe out there.
08:29Huh, kind of funny.
08:33The one day you guys are back in uniform, I get to wear my savings, I'll share.
08:36It won't be so funny if Selena doesn't pass.
08:40Why wouldn't?
08:43Ooh, how much coffee is too much coffee?
08:46How many fingers am I holding?
08:48I mean, two, but they're vibrating.
08:49Okay, take a deep breath.
08:53All right, you got this.
08:56All right, let's go over how this is going to go.
08:57Today, 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.
09:21Now, to help simulate the experience of riding solo,
09:25this will be the last time I speak to you until the end of shift.
09:29Finally.
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, because I am riding solo.
09:40You are so lucky.
09:41If Sergeant Bradford was your T.O.,
09:43you'd be spending the rest of your shift scrubbing holding 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.
10:00Of course.
10:00Because I don't want to be that kind of T.O., ma'am.
10:05But you showing up late for your second ever roll call,
10:08either you don't respect me or...
10:10No, of course not.
10:13Well, 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,
10:24and it ran...
10:26It ran late.
10:27So, it's not...
10:28It's not going to happen again.
10:32Good.
10:33So, since I'm making all the decisions today,
10:36I guess that means I can do...
10:39Yes.
10:42Damn.
10:43Okay, I thought for sure that'd get you to crack.
10:47Bye-bye.
10:487-0-15, I have an in-progress 2-11 home invasion at 6-2-3,
10:52Layden.
10:53R.P. is homeowner Walter Fields, 82.
10:56Advice R.P. to lock himself in the bathroom
10:58and find out if there are any firearms in the house.
11:03R.P. has locked himself in the first floor bathroom
11:05and is armed with a handgun.
11:08Control responding code 3.
11:097-0-15 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!
11:40I am inside your house!
11:43Come out with your hands up!
11:45Call it in.
11:56I 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
12:22with your hands where I can see them.
12:27Nice 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.
12:37I know, but...
12:38Oh, my God, no.
12:40No.
12:40No, let me go.
12:41That's my granddaughter.
12:43Let me go.
12:45I heard footsteps in the hall.
12:48There 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.
12:57But we need to...
12:57Oh, 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?
13:02Fill me in.
13:09It's...
13:10I hate playing close to A.
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?
13:31Well, he's been through enough.
13:33He doesn't need to see the back of his shop.
13:35I'll handle it.
13:41I, 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,
13:52so 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,
13:57it 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.
14:14Community 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 bangle hall and shake hands with all my cousins in them?
14:23Uh, excuse me, officers?
14:25Yes, ma'am.
14:26What can we do you for?
14:27Would you mind helping me bring my garbage bin in?
14:29It's so 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 yourself 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.
14:49She knows what 9-1-1 is.
14:50Well, you told me to be friendly.
14:51That kind of friendly will get you a suit.
14:52Next time, just focus on professional.
14:54Excuse 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.
15:16This used to be a nice neighborhood to raise a family.
15:21Then 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
15:30us 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.
15:40But 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 and I will personally
15:50make sure that the police respond.
15:52I just might.
15:58Bradley, how's good?
16:01I would not have agreed to this if I knew we were doing foot patrol.
16:04Tell me about it.
16:04And James is having people over for dinner tonight, so I can't even put my feet up when I get
16:09home.
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
16:18of the LAPD.
16:19You're right.
16:20I'm good.
16:20How 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.
16:29God, 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!
16:50Two babies each and we've 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, en 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.
17:08We 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.
17:16Oh, unless 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.
17:23You gotta learn to control that impulse.
17:25Yeah.
17:25I 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.
17:35But the only way she will succeed is if you give her the room to fail.
17:39What can you tell me about that guy crossing the street?
17:45Late teens, early 20s, 5 foot 10, 6 foot tall.
17:49Slim builds, colors, and tattoos suggest that he is affiliated.
17:52If that gets any closer, I'd say he's a part of the 6th Street Devils.
17:56And what's our authority to stop and talk to him?
17:58Well, the standard for probable cause in 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, then we could
18:10stop him.
18:19Follow that suspect.
18:207 out of 19, we got shots fired in the alleyway of Beverly.
18:46Sir, the ambulance is on its way.
18:47I'm good, I'm good.
18:48This is the first time I've been shot.
18:49You'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, Adam 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, Adam 15, additional unit in road.
19:19Damn it.
19:19What 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, you will be in violation of Pinot Code Section
19:32148 resisting an officer.
19:34You have my permission to call me a badass.
19:53You have my permission to call me a badass.
19:57You are a badass.
20:01You are an embarrassment.
20:02Not only did you fail the radio in your location while chasing an armed suspect, you 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.
20:24Step outside.
20:25I need to speak to Officer Chin for a minute.
20:27Let me be blunt.
20:35Do 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 honest opinion.
20:50I think he's smart, thoughtful, and empathetic, but he's made some very basic mistakes, which I understand at this stage in his training is to be expected.
21:00I think at this point it's too soon to tell.
21:05Every rookie makes mistakes, but we're under a microscope right now, so if you ever start to think that he might be a liability, I need you to let me know right away.
21:18Yes, sir.
21:19Bye.
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 Rook book.
21:31Yes, ma'am.
21:35I hear the vigilantes escalated to attempted murder.
21:38Too 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.
21:46Being 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?
22:02So far, so good.
22:03Still got half a shift left.
22:04Hmm.
22:05Why are you trying to leave the scene before the ambulance arrived?
22:11I promised 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.
22:22You think with there being so many cops in the neighborhood,
22:24the watcher would have picked a different day to escalate to attempted murder.
22:27It wasn't just an escalation.
22:29This was a completely different M.O.
22:30I mean, everyone else was stopped while committing a crime.
22:33This 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.
22:48I 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 pits 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.
23:06Seven out of 100, what's your ETA for that 415 in the alley off Fuller?
23:17Still six minutes out.
23:18Be advised, original RPS called back multiple times to report screaming from that event.
23:22Copy.
23:22We'll be there as soon as we can.
23:24Okay.
23:30Police!
23:31Hands up!
23:32Police!
23:32Show me your hands!
23:32Show me your hands!
23:33Search him, boot.
23:33Keep your hands on your head!
23:34I got a gun in the hole for my right hip.
23:36It's a 9mm.
23:41Same as the one you used to shoot, Bicho.
23:43Hold on, hold on.
23:44I didn't shoot anybody.
23:47Thomas Forsythe, you're under arrest for attempted murder.
23:51I want a lawyer.
23:53Get up.
23:58Looks like you had a pretty eventful plainclothes day, Officer Warrens.
24:02Yes, sir.
24:03Had a few missteps, as did Officer Nolan.
24:06But overall, I'm impressed on how you handled some tricky calls today.
24:13What?
24:14I mean, does that mean I passed?
24:16Yes, you passed.
24:19Thank 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.
24:32All right.
24:33That'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 in a mask playing superhero?
24:44My client saw a need in the community and used his training as a retired law enforcement officer 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.
24:57You know any cops, active or retired, who aren't carrying at all times?
25:17So his alibi checks out.
25:19Which means we've got a copycat.
25:21I wasn't sure if you wanted to go out after your shift, so I stashed this in the freezer just 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.
25:45And here's to you and being an absolute badass and crushing your plainclothes day.
25:52I am quite proud of myself.
25:58As well you should be.
26:00I mean, look how far you've come in the last nine months, how much you've grown.
26:04It'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?
26:15Yeah, he had a pretty crap day.
26:18I 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 the captain.
26:26Hey, there she is.
26:28Everyone, this is my wife, Nyla.
26:31Hello.
26:32Hey, hello.
26:32Are 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 in.
26:43Okay, George?
26:44Help yourself to some more food and wine.
26:45I'm so sorry.
26:48It got a little bigger than I had planned.
26:49You think?
26:50You said a few.
26:51What 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.
27:09Oh, 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, then 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, uh, 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.
28:22Hmm, that 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 bring 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?
28:47Or breaks into it and steals your service weapon?
28:49Or 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, please.
28:55I need this.
29:01I 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.
29:09And you blew out your knee, jumping off the roof at a frat party like an idiot.
29:14Which 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 have to find yourself a third career to screw up.
29:26Mr. Fields?
29:36I'm...
29:36I remember.
29:38It's hard to forget the worst moment of your life.
29:41So, um...
29:47How's Chelsea?
29:49Ten hours in surgery.
29:51And they say she's...
29:52She's going to need another one in a couple of days.
29:56Her parents will be here by then.
30:01Hey, tell me.
30:02How do families survive something like this?
30:04How am I supposed to?
30:10Well, it isn't easy.
30:13But 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.
30:29That it was an accident.
30:30I don't understand.
30:32When did I get so afraid?
30:35You know, I was...
30:36I was the man that people called in a crisis.
30:40Suddenly my daughter talks to me like I'm a...
30:43A child.
30:45You shouldn't do that.
30:48You know, did you remember to do this?
30:54She begged me to give that gun up.
30:58She said she would pay for a better securities.
31:02A 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.
31:30I was too scared.
31:32I 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.
31:49Hey.
31:56Hey.
31:56I 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.
32:02And I even got you a coffee.
32:04You know that doesn't wipe the slate clean from yesterday's mistakes, right?
32:07Yes, ma'am. But actually, I wanted to talk to you about that. The reason I came in late yesterday, and I took my eye off the ball with the vigilante. Four years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer, and it was aggressive, and my eyes weren't very good, but I did beat it.
32:29But a week ago, I went in to get some routine blood work done, and my results came back as irregular.
32:37I'm sorry. That sounds incredibly stressful. Seth, you know, I'm the one that's responsible for your safety on the job, and you really should have told me.
32:50I know. I know. It's just... People treat you different when they know that you're sick. Yeah. But there's no excuses. You're right, and I should have told you.
33:02Well, when do you get the results back? Soon, I hope, but it feels like forever. Yeah, there's nothing we can do about that now, right?
33:15What do you say we focus on other people's problems for today? I'd love that.
33:19We have a lead on the copycat vigilante. Midnight Shift caught a homicide, a kid from the same gang as our shooting victim yesterday, and witnesses saw the watcher running from the scene.
33:29We dug in and found that both victims were persons of interest in the murder of an 18-year-old girl, Sienna Sanchez, shot to death six months ago.
33:35But the DA's office couldn't convince anyone to testify against the gang, and so the case fell apart.
33:39So you're thinking someone from Sienna's family is out for vengeance?
33:42Makes sense. Apparently, 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, whatever you need.
33:53The mother's going to need someone with a soft touch.
33:56I'll send Nolan Juarez. They'll be sensitive.
33:58Perfect.
33:59Emilda Sanchez, 47, widow.
34:02Any other kids?
34:03No, just the Anna.
34:05And to lose her husband and her child within a few years, that'll break her heart.
34:09And heart and thirst.
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.
34:24I'll copy that.
34:27Looks like the 6th Street Devils have figured out Emilda's the killer, too.
34:30Control, 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, item 15. Backup and airship are en route.
34:55What about Emilda?
34:56Let's go see what we can see.
35:00Control, be advised, 7 out of 15.
35:16Code 6, approaching Sanchez residents from the rear.
35:19Advise, responding units, password blue on blue.
35:26Ah!
35:27Stop it!
35:28Out of me!
35:30Let her go!
35:31They killed my daughter!
35:32Back away!
35:34Whoa!
35:36Follow the bridge.
35:427 out of 100 shots fired at our location.
35:44Oh, no!
35:44No!
35:44No!
35:45No!
35:45No!
35:46No!
35:46No!
35:47No!
35:47No!
35:48No!
35:48No!
35:49No!
35:50No!
35:51No!
35:52No!
35:53No!
35:54No!
35:55No!
35:56No!
35:57No!
35:58No!
35:59No!
36:00No!
36:01No!
36:02No!
36:03No!
36:04No!
36:05No!
36:06No!
36:07No!
36:08No!
36:09No!
36:10No!
36:11No!
36:12No!
36:13No!
36:14No!
36:15No!
36:16No!
36:17No!
36:18No!
36:19No!
36:20No!
36:21No!
36:22Shannon, we're going to flash bang them.
36:23Be ready.
36:24They're low on ammo.
36:25Just wait for the reload.
36:26Copy.
36:32Now.
36:39Let's go.
36:44Not a bad hit for a running back.
36:47Shannon, take him.
36:50Let's go.
36:51Nolan, we're coming up behind them.
36:53Copy that.
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.
37:11Come on.
37:14Get out.
37:17You, down.
37:19Secure Milda.
37:20Drop the gun.
37:22Do it right now.
37:24Drop it.
37:25Milda, drop the gun.
37:29Look around.
37:30There's no chance of you walking out of this alive unless 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.
37:40Maybe.
37:42But if you don't let him go, I 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.
37:52But I don't want to kill a grieving mother for avenging her daughter's murder.
37:57Please.
37:58On your knees.
38:08On your knees.
38:09Three days in.
38:21How are you feeling?
38:23Well, I was like an imposter.
38:24But there have been a few moments where I felt like I was making a difference that 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 and see you.
38:37No.
38:37Sorry.
38:38No worries.
38:39Well, it was great working with y'all, no 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 and gave me 24 hours to find a legal residence.
38:50I'll let you be up in a few hours.
38:51So find something.
38:53Well, I can't find a place to rent and move in 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.
39:19Why don't you just call it even?
39:22Yeah, I would love to, but I don't think we should.
39:28Okay.
39:31What exactly does that mean?
39:32Sometimes 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, but that does not change what I do for a living.
39:56Something I also love is in direct conflict with your work.
40:00Which is equally important to me.
40:03Yeah.
40:07Then I guess we have to work at trying to figure out a pathway to do this.
40:15That's what I'm saying.
40:20But we can start tomorrow because Mama's tired.
40:24How about I run you a bath while you kiss the kids goodnight?
40:32That sounds good.
40:34There's no way we were that clueless.
40:37I mean, I know we were rookies, but we had some common sense.
40:41No rookie has common sense.
40:42After my first day as a T.O., I wrote Harper a very long apology letter and sent her a Spoggy of certificate.
40:49Aw.
40:50Aw.
40:53Forget it.
40:55You made my life hell.
40:57Besides, any amount of gratitude you might have been owed was more than paid off while we were dating.
41:02Fair enough.
41:03Mm-hmm.
41:03All right.
41:05That is it for me.
41:06I'm going to go home and soak my entire body.
41:08Be nice.
41:09All right.
41:09Have a good night.
41:10See you tomorrow.
41:10All right.
41:16So, uh, your boot handled himself okay out there today?
41:20Yeah.
41:21He's, um, yeah.
41:23We're figuring it out.
41:25How was Texas the 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?
41:38Howdy.
41:39I sure did.
41:40Let me introduce you to my new landlord.
41:44Bradford, just welcoming the kid to the neighborhood.
41:47Pass him back to my boot.
41:50It's only temporary until I bank enough money to get my own place.
41:54Yeah, that's what every guy said when they first moved into that lot.
41:57All right.
41:58I'll see you tomorrow.
41:59You can buy yourself another shift.
42:03Don't listen to Bradford.
42:05This place is Shangri-La.
42:07All the beer, barbecue, and sports you want.
42:10And pants are always optional.
42:14Things are gonna get better.
