00:00Is that my car?
00:01Wait, what?
00:02Did your dad kill a cop?
00:03Now that it's out, this kind of stuff's not gonna stop.
00:06Whoever put these out, you got one warning.
00:08You mess with Gamble, you mess with 20 Squad.
00:10That means you mess with me.
00:11I just, I want you to know I can handle the judgment that's coming my way.
00:14It won't stop me from doing my job.
00:23One thing I miss about Oakland, summer ended when summer was over.
00:27Thanks for coming in early.
00:28It is 100 degrees outside, and the A.C. broke in my apartment.
00:32HQ feels heavenly in comparison.
00:34Well, don't get too comfy.
00:35Hicks needs us first. Special protection detail.
00:38Rest the 20 Squad en route?
00:39No, they're all on standby today.
00:41With any luck, the heat's gonna keep folks inside
00:43for anything too crazy from popping off.
00:45But this detail's a good chance for you and me to catch up.
00:52Commander?
00:54Think's your teammate, I see.
00:55Who's the principal on the protection job?
00:59Everybody's favorite mayor.
01:01Mayor Castro?
01:02Doesn't he have his own security team?
01:03We're bolstering it.
01:04The brass believes there's an imminent threat against Mayor Castro's life.
01:08You got any idea who's behind it?
01:09Yeah.
01:10Suspect is Paul Kang.
01:11He's a resident of K-Town.
01:13He took a few pot shots at the mayor's car two days ago,
01:16and then slipped patrol.
01:16They haven't been able to locate him since.
01:18What's his beef with Castro?
01:20Kang's wife, Jessie, was stabbed to death by a transient in Venice a few months back.
01:24Random attack.
01:25Kang blames the mayor's soft stance on crime for what happened now.
01:29Guy's a bit of a whack job, but he's not entirely wrong.
01:33All right.
01:34We better get moving.
01:37A hondo, Ward.
01:39In private?
01:40Gamble, really?
01:48I mean, this isn't exactly low-profile covering the mayor.
01:52Are you sure she's right for this?
01:54I'm sure.
01:54Fire four mags, two for shooting hand, a 10-20 and 30-yard intervals,
02:16then we'll move on to HKs.
02:18I'll be evaluating you on accuracy and speed, but it's not a race.
02:21Remember our golden rule?
02:22Stoke is smooth.
02:23Smooth is fast.
02:24Good.
02:24First four, step up to the shooting bay, start on the beep.
02:42Sloppy groupings, Ruiz.
02:44They're coming on my day off to watch you whip.
02:48It's more like it.
02:51Hold your positions.
02:52Power outage.
02:53Generators should kick in.
03:02Hey.
03:02You won't always be shooting bad guys in broad daylight.
03:05Treat this as low-visibility training.
03:08Shooters ready!
03:12Hold your fire!
03:13Hold your fire!
03:13Make your weapons safe.
03:18We'll finish this exercise later.
03:20All available officers that are report to the Eagle's Nest ASAP.
03:26Was having coffee nearby when I got the alert.
03:28Seems like most of the neighborhood lost power.
03:30Power's out all over.
03:31My family group chat's blown up about it.
03:33What the hell are you doing?
03:47Uh, standing here.
03:49Stevens and I have a game going.
03:50Oh, this piece was already off the board.
03:53Your game is fine.
03:54It's not about the game, pal.
03:56It's about SWAT superstition.
03:58Never mess with the chess head during an active game.
04:00Bad things happen when you do.
04:02Did I summon the chess boogeyman?
04:06Good luck today, pal.
04:08You're gonna need it.
04:09Listen up!
04:10It's a massive power outage affecting the entire San Fernando Valley.
04:14Now, given that it's roughly 500 degrees outside, the rest of the grid is buckling under the strain.
04:19The whole city could lose power today.
04:22Sir, how long until the power company is able to fix the issues?
04:25Well, they're assessing the root cause.
04:27Early indications show a cascading grid failure.
04:29Best case scenario, it'll take hours.
04:32I got here as soon as I could.
04:33It's a mess out there.
04:34I'm executing the Sepulveda protocol effective immediately.
04:38All available SWAT will be deployed on the streets to patrol,
04:41along with every available officer from Metro.
04:44A power outage just like this brings spikes in robbery, vandalism, arson.
04:49People will be overheated, angry, and desperate.
04:53So be ready for anything out there.
04:55Sergeant K will assign patrol pairings and coverage areas.
04:58All right.
04:59Pal, you're with me.
05:00Espinosa and Thompson.
05:02You'll take Chatsworth.
05:03Ruiz, you and Lambert, you've got Silver Lake.
05:06Oh, it's nasty out here.
05:08Even warmer in Noho, where Stevens and I are heading.
05:11Hope that Los Profetas don't get trigger-happy in this heat.
05:14Where'd you two get assigned?
05:15Studio City.
05:17Jackpot, baby.
05:18Should be a pretty easy patrol.
05:19Wouldn't count on it, Nico.
05:20No, it'll be rough out there all over.
05:22Not just crime.
05:23People are going to need our help.
05:25Just keep your windows down, heads on a swivel.
05:27Let's roll.
05:29Hey, we can still blast the AC, right?
05:30As high as it'll go.
05:39Multiple heat-related 507s reported in Balboa Park, near the playground, and at Ventura and Colfax.
05:43Nearest available units respond code 2.
05:45People are already getting riled up.
05:47Maybe we'll get lucky and Hollywood will stay quiet.
05:50Not likely.
05:50I heard you touched the chess set this morning during an active game.
05:54Well, what is with this damn chess set?
05:56Edwards from 50 Squad put away the chess pieces one night, not realizing there was a game going on.
06:01He got shot in the leg the next morning.
06:04That's when the superstition began.
06:05Whatever.
06:06I'm happy to take on this so-called curse for the day.
06:09You didn't just bring it on yourself.
06:11You put that curse on everybody.
06:13You're going to get blamed for anything that goes wrong today.
06:15Probably shouldn't have swiped this, then.
06:19Powell, what are you doing?
06:20There's a reason the superstition exists.
06:22You don't poke the bear.
06:24I grew up with Filipino ditas who were convinced that any bad thing that happened was a result of our ancestors cursing us from the grave.
06:30Know what I learned?
06:31What's that?
06:32That bad luck and superstitions are all in your head.
06:42This is 15 Atom requesting additional units for traffic control.
06:4524 David to dispatch.
06:4724 David to dispatch.
06:4724 David to dispatch.
06:59Have a TC on main and oak.
07:04It's going to be a long day.
07:05I'll see you later.
07:27I'll see you next week.
07:28I'll see you next week.
07:35Yes, sir. Copy that. Loud and clear.
07:52Commander Hicks just instituted Sepulveda protocol.
07:54All available SWAT officers are out on control.
07:57He thinks it'll get that bad?
07:58Last time it happened, there were riots in Midtown, Boyle Heights.
08:01City Hall's got backup generators to keep the lights and A.C. running,
08:06but there's a lot of folks out there that ain't gonna have that same luxury today.
08:12Hicks wanted you to pick someone else for the assignment, didn't he?
08:16I know the look when I see it. It's been pretty much nonstop since I got here.
08:20Hicks is fine. Don't worry about it.
08:25USGS confirmed there were no earthquakes in the area.
08:28Then find out what knocked the grid offline.
08:29I want updates every 20 minutes. People's lives depend on it, Nick.
08:33Ah, my SWAT babysitters.
08:36Sergeant Harrelson, I've seen you on the news a few times.
08:38Just doing my job, sir.
08:40This is Officer Devin Gamble.
08:41Now, you, I don't know. Been with LAPD long?
08:44Started my career here, then did a 10-year stint up in Oakland.
08:47Bet you glad you're back.
08:49Now that you two are here, we can get to work.
08:51I've told EMD I want to hand out water and emergency supplies
08:54in the areas affected by the power outage.
08:56Sir, there's an active threat on your life.
08:57I think it's better you stay here at City Hall where we know it's secure.
09:00Angelinos need help today.
09:02They also need their mayor alive.
09:04I'll let you in on a dirty little political secret.
09:08If someone isn't trying to hurt me, I'm not doing my job properly.
09:12Besides, I've got SWAT at my side.
09:15Can't get much safer than that.
09:18Excuse me.
09:19Real glad to be back.
09:28Reports of traffic collusion in Tarzana, at Ventura and Donna,
09:31Tampa and Wells, and Victory at Wilbur.
09:33Vandalized fire hydrant at Hillside and Manor.
09:35We didn't get hit by that beamer, so I'd argue that it was good luck.
09:39Maybe it was a higher power that was looking out for us.
09:42Or the lucky jade crystal I keep in my pocket at all times.
09:45That's ridiculous.
09:46Crystals are nonsense.
09:48You draw the line at crystals, but buy into chess pieces?
09:52Explain your belief system right now, please.
09:53Right now?
09:54I believe that I'm driving for the rest of the day.
09:57For safety.
09:58Can't move three blocks without responding to a radio call anyway.
10:01All units armed robbery reported in the 1,000 block of Lebray Avenue.
10:05Suspects are two Hispanic males, five feet, eight inches tall,
10:07carrying baseball bats.
10:08One suspect wearing lime green Jordan sneakers.
10:11Lime green Jordans?
10:12Subtlety's a lost art.
10:14All right, we'll head back towards Lebray, roll the side streets.
10:17Maybe we'll get lucky.
10:27God bless whoever invented the bikini tub.
10:31Hey, you know what?
10:32I think I'm done.
10:33Hey, watch out!
10:33Watch out!
10:36You can't just run in front of the car like that!
10:38Look, man, my baby's missing.
10:40All right, I can't find Jimmy John.
10:42Can you describe the child?
10:47Wait, Jimmy John's a snake?
10:49Yeah, he's a snake.
10:50Been together for 10 years.
10:51Sir, you need to call Animal Control, not LAPD.
10:54Why can't y'all help?
10:55One, it's not her department.
10:57Two, I don't like snakes.
10:58Especially big ones.
11:00That's racist, man.
11:01Man, how can you be racist against a reptile?
11:03That's racist!
11:06You weren't lying.
11:08Studio City is weird.
11:10When people don't get their kombucha and wheatgrass shots, all bets are off.
11:13Excuse me.
11:14Officers, I think you need to do a wellness check on my neighbor, Travis.
11:17His car hasn't moved in a few days, and he's not answering his door.
11:20Are you sure he's not traveling or maybe at a friend's place?
11:22No, he's got a young son who stays with him.
11:25I'm worried about them both, especially in this heat.
11:27All right, we'll take a look.
11:28Which one's your building?
11:29Right there.
11:35Travis Brown, this is the LAPD.
11:37Your neighbors are worried about you.
11:38If you're in there, open up.
11:40Hey, you smell that?
11:42Yeah, meth.
11:42Travis.
11:48Hey, Travis.
11:49Hey.
11:50Hey, can you hear me?
11:51Got a real faint pulse.
11:54Yeah, looks like he was doing goofballs.
11:5625 David are requesting emergency transport for an adult male at 1500 Moorpark, apparent drug overdose.
12:02Gonna hit him with Narcan.
12:05Hey, lady said he had a kid, right?
12:07Yeah.
12:07Police, is anybody in there?
12:16No.
12:18No, no, no, no, no, no.
12:2025 David, I need an additional RA to the same address for a young child, approximately four years old.
12:25Very faint pulse.
12:26I need it ASAP.
12:27Hey, hey.
12:28Wake up, buddy.
12:28Hey.
12:30Hey, don't quit on me.
12:32Hey, wake up.
12:33Hey.
12:34Come on, look at me.
12:36Oh, hey.
12:39Hey.
12:39All right, I'm with the police.
12:41We're gonna get you some help.
12:42All right?
12:42Everything's gonna be fine.
12:44I need you to sit down, all right?
12:45No, I'm good.
12:46I'm good.
12:46Pinky promise.
12:49Hey, Alphara!
12:51He's just a kid!
12:53Son of a bitch!
12:54Alphara, man!
12:55Hey!
12:55Get off him, man!
12:57Hey!
12:58What the hell?
12:59Stay with the kid!
13:00Yeah.
13:01Kill him!
13:03The city's working diligently to restore power to citizens.
13:12Meanwhile, I feel a personal responsibility to help Angelenos during this crisis.
13:17I'm a native son.
13:18I grew up with...
13:18I thought you liked the idea of this type's like Castro.
13:20You were one yourself.
13:22Was.
13:23A lot can change in ten years.
13:26Are you good?
13:30Actually, no, I'm not.
13:31What the hell am I gonna have to do to prove myself on SWAT?
13:37Gamble, when I asked you to come back, you said you could deal with it.
13:39I thought I could.
13:40But the hazing, the endless comments, the side-eyeing...
13:47I'm not sure it's worth it.
13:52Well, hold up.
13:53That silver pickup truck on the corner, does that look familiar to you?
13:56I thought I saw a drive-by a while back.
13:58I couldn't see the plates.
14:02You think it's Kane?
14:04I'm not sure.
14:06But we should get Castro back to City Hall to be safe.
14:11Thank you so much.
14:12Sir, we need to think about getting you back inside.
14:14There's still two palaces.
14:15Supplies to distribute.
14:17Protecting you out here in public is making our job a lot harder, sir.
14:20Whoa.
14:20Whoa, whoa, whoa.
14:21Whoa, whoa, whoa.
14:22Hey, Z.
14:22Hey.
14:23I got you.
14:24I got you.
14:24I need you over here.
14:25Come on.
14:25Get right here.
14:26He's got a rapid pulse.
14:28Skin's burning up.
14:29It's probably heat stroke.
14:30Let's get him in the shade.
14:31We got to cool him down.
14:32Call it in.
14:3326 David got an adult male with signs of heat stroke near 3,400 void.
14:37Requesting an RA.
14:38Excuse me.
14:38Excuse me.
14:39Mayor, Mayor.
14:39Gamble, go with him.
14:40Go.
14:40Got it.
14:41Everybody back up, please.
14:42Back up.
14:42Everybody back up, please.
14:44Here you go.
14:45Is it, Mayor?
14:45Back up, please.
14:46Just call us a little bit more about what we're talking about.
14:47This man needs space and privacy.
14:49Please back up.
14:51Este hombre necesita espacio y privacidad, por favor.
14:53Is he going to be okay?
14:57Yeah, I think so.
14:59EMTs are on the way.
15:12EMTs got the kids stabilized.
15:13They'll be okay.
15:15You want to tell me what the hell you were thinking in there?
15:18I wasn't.
15:18I guess I just snapped.
15:22Well, that'll sound great in the incident report.
15:24Whoa, whoa, whoa.
15:25Hold up.
15:26Before I joined Long Beach SWAT, I worked the juvenile investigation division.
15:29Okay?
15:30I worked with a lot of kids who had deadbeat parents like Travis.
15:33Most of those kids ended up in the streets, in prison, or dead.
15:36When I saw that kid caged up like a damn zoo animal, I just lost it.
15:42The kid's dad deserved worse than he'd gotten.
15:45But we can't be the ones that do it.
15:47I got included all in the report.
15:49Oh, come on, man.
15:50Cut me some slack.
15:51That kid's barely alive.
15:55Oh, this is BS.
15:58I swear to God.
15:59How does anyone have the energy to go on a robbery spree in this heat?
16:09I get it if they stole ice cream, but sneakers and Dodgers ads?
16:13I don't know.
16:14Some people are just compelled to take things they shouldn't.
16:17Is that a dig?
16:18Depends.
16:19You gonna hit me with one of your crystals?
16:21If I can find one big enough.
16:23Hey, check it out.
16:25Lime Green Jordans.
16:28Sea Armed Robbery Suspects.
16:30Almost too easy.
16:3124 David to dispatch.
16:32Visual on our 411 Suspects.
16:341600 Block of Gower.
16:36LAPD, stay where you are.
16:40I got Jordans.
16:49Hey!
16:49Hey!
16:50Hey!
16:50Hey!
16:50Hey!
16:50Hey!
16:50Hey!
16:51Hey!
16:51Hey!
16:51Hey!
16:52Hey!
16:52Hey!
16:52Hey!
16:52Hey!
16:53Hey!
16:53Hey!
16:53Hey!
16:53Hey!
16:53Hey!
16:53Hey!
16:54Hey!
16:54Hey!
16:55Hey!
16:56Hey!
16:57Hey!
16:58Hey!
16:59Hey!
17:00Hey!
17:01Hey!
17:02Hey!
17:03Hey!
17:04Hey!
17:05Hey!
17:06Hey!
17:07Hey!
17:08Hey!
17:09Hey!
17:10Hey!
17:11Hey!
17:12Hey!
17:13Hey!
17:14Hey!
17:15Hey!
17:16Hey!
17:17Hey!
17:18Hey!
17:19Hey!
17:20Hey!
17:21Hey!
17:22Hey!
17:23Hey!
17:24Hey!
17:2524 David, second suspect in custody.
17:35Send transport to the coroner of Selma and Cadet.
17:43Hey, Scraps.
17:44Yeah.
17:45Hey, Powell, is this gate open?
17:47These substations are usually very secure.
17:49Wide open.
17:50Didn't see any workers.
17:51Smells like an electrical fire.
17:55It's dead cord.
17:59It's used to trigger high explosives.
18:00Who's playing with high explosives around electrical transformers?
18:10Clear.
18:16The control box has been sabotaged.
18:19SoCal Water and Power never reported this.
18:21Think it might be an inside job?
18:23Maybe.
18:23One thing's for sure.
18:24These power outages?
18:26They're no accident.
18:27Crippling the power grid on the hottest day of the year means someone's out to cause chaos.
18:30They didn't attack the power grid on a whim.
18:32Chaos might be a prelude to something even worse.
18:34Let's move.
18:39Just got off with RHD.
18:42At least three power substations were sabotaged.
18:44And who's ever behind it?
18:46Shot and killed a supervisor in the Encino substation.
18:48Explains why the damage went unreported.
18:50The cascading grid failure that followed must have made it impossible for the SCWP to pinpoint the root cause of the damage until now.
18:56The suspects used strategically placed C4 charges at all three substations.
19:00Powerful enough to blow the control boxes, but small enough to go unnoticed by neighbors.
19:04They got access to C4.
19:05We're hell bent on bringing down the power grid.
19:07We need to know why.
19:08The power outage has most security systems offline.
19:11Could be a robbery crew going after a big score.
19:13If that's true, there's no shortage of vulnerable targets.
19:15Banks, jewelry stores, federal buildings.
19:17There's no way to know them for sure until we ID the suspects.
19:20Power substations usually have security cameras.
19:22Maybe one of them got a look at the suspects before the power went out?
19:24Run it down and let me know what you find.
19:26I'll update Hondo and gamble the situation.
19:29You, Deacon, and pal, start notifying high-value targets that we may have a heist crew on the loose.
19:33On it.
19:34Understood, Commander.
19:36The blackout wasn't an accident.
19:38Hicks has the grid's under attack.
19:40You think it has anything to do with the attacks on Castro?
19:42I'm not sure.
19:43It might be something else, but the mayor's definitely not safe here.
19:47Sir?
19:48Any update on the man we helped?
19:50He's recovering at Pleasant Green Hospital.
19:52He'll be fine.
19:53But, mayor, please, we really need to get you back inside.
19:55We know you want to help people.
19:57Been watching you do it all day.
19:58But you being out here actually puts these people in more danger.
20:02If you really want to help them, let us take you back to City Hall.
20:06You know, if all officers were more like you two, I'd have a lot less headaches.
20:12Make a deal.
20:15Give me five minutes to make sure these folks are okay, then we go.
20:20Make it three minutes.
20:22Three minutes.
20:23Hey, how about earlier?
20:31You're still catching heat from other SWAT officers?
20:34Hey, Campbell, tell me who it is and I'll talk to him.
20:36I'll put it to bed.
20:37You don't deserve to take blame for what your father did.
20:39Pick up truck's back.
20:43You stay close to Castro.
20:44This is the LAPD!
20:51I need you to turn off that engine and put your hands out the window now!
21:03Move!
21:04Move!
21:05Get out of there!
21:06Get out of there now!
21:07Get down!
21:07Get down!
21:08Get down!
21:08Hands on the wheel, don't move.
21:22Gamble, Kang's not in the truck.
21:23Stay down!
21:40Give me your hands!
21:45Gamble, you good?
21:46I'm good.
21:47Sir, are you okay?
21:48Yeah, I think so.
21:4920 David, we have Kang and a second assailant in custody.
21:52Mayor, we are taking you back to City Hall right now until we can verify there are no further threats to your safety.
22:01Let's go.
22:09Hey, I heard you're up here trying to deal the suspects behind the blackout.
22:12Need any help?
22:14You can start going through the Encino substation footage.
22:21I was wrong, you know.
22:22For what I did earlier, how heated I got.
22:27Got a chance to cool off?
22:29Mostly.
22:31I still can't stop imagining kicking the crap out of that guy for what he did, though.
22:36A while back, we had a barricaded suspect at a trailer park.
22:40Guy was a PCP and heroin addict, totally off his rocker.
22:43When we breached, I found his wife and one-year-old in a closet.
22:47And they'd been locked in there five days before.
22:52Wanted to bash that guy's skull in.
22:53But deep down, I knew it wouldn't make the anger go away.
22:58Sometimes you have to put in extra work to keep yourself balanced.
23:02Yeah.
23:02Usually I work through that stuff in the gym, but wind sprints and pull-ups just aren't cutting it lately.
23:09I had to change my coping strategy a couple times.
23:11I started by meditating, moved on to weight training.
23:15Now I play basketball until I can't feel my arms and legs.
23:17Point is, you gotta find an outlet that works, otherwise the stress of this job will consume you.
23:26I think I got something.
23:28This van, parked at the substation, can't see the suspects, but got a clear shot of the plate.
23:35Plate traced back to a Bob Hayes from Bishop, California.
23:39Now that's up north in the Owens Valley.
23:41Bob Hayes reported his plate stolen two weeks ago.
23:44Well, five other Bishop residents reported their plate stolen in the same time frame.
23:49Could be the work of our suspects.
23:50Let's get a bolo out on the van and all six stolen plates, I'll tell Commander Hicks.
23:56Hey, what you got?
23:58If this blackout's about pulling off a heist, these are the most valuable or at-risk targets.
24:03Whittled it down to about a hundred or so.
24:05A few dozen cash storage facilities, high-end art galleries, museums.
24:08Plus all of Rodale Drive and some churches that store priceless religious relics.
24:13Reminds me.
24:16So it's true.
24:18This thing?
24:19Yeah, the old timers.
24:21Keep giving me a hard time about it, so I'm putting the damn thing back.
24:25There.
24:26No harm, no foul.
24:28That's not what I hear.
24:29Oh, not you too.
24:31Steven said the bad juju continues until the game is finished by the original players.
24:34Oh, come on.
24:35I don't want that mala lache.
24:37Sorry.
24:38This is ridiculous.
24:40To you, maybe.
24:41I'm not taking any chances.
24:42Please?
24:44Steacon, we're rolling out.
24:46It's truly ridiculous.
24:50Bolo hit on our bombing suspect.
24:52Red light camera spotted the suspect's van in Toluca Lake.
24:55Any high-value targets in that area?
24:56No, they're heading into a residential neighborhood.
24:58So they attacked a power grid just to rob a house?
25:01Nah, I'm not buying that.
25:02Think they might be after a person.
25:04One of SCWP's lead engineers lives two blocks away from the Bolo hit, Alice Burks.
25:08She's been an SCWP employee for over 20 years.
25:11Now, I called her office.
25:13Her assistant said she left work to deal with an emergency at home.
25:15Could be a target or an inside man.
25:17But either way, that's where our suspects are headed.
25:18Deacon and Pal rolled a few minutes ago.
25:20They're in the area, but they're going to need backup.
25:22So go, go.
25:32Pal.
25:3430 David to command.
25:36Signs of force entry.
25:37Moving inside.
25:48Pause it only.
25:49Please, don't hurt me.
25:51I'll do anything you want.
25:53Cop!
25:55L.I.P.D., drop your weapon!
25:58Get her out to the van!
26:0424 David, shots fired!
26:06Cover now!
26:09Pal!
26:13Hey.
26:15Pal, you good?
26:16Talk to me.
26:17I'm good.
26:18Hit me in the vest.
26:20Go.
26:21I've got him.
26:3530 David to command.
26:37Three armed suspects in our bolo van with one female hostage fleeing north on Foreman.
26:40Okay.
26:44Now I believe in the curse.
26:51Gamble stand with the mayor.
26:52Until we get an all clear from the brass.
26:54These are suspects who attacked the power substations.
26:56And shot Pal while abducting an SCWP engineer.
26:59Now all four from the Owens Valley and plaintiffs in a very prolonged lawsuit against SoCal Water and Power over water rights.
27:06Now they've been battling the utility in court for almost a decade, alleging extensive corruption, theft, malfeasance by the SCWP employees against the Owens Valley and its residents.
27:16Well, SCWP's got a pretty dicey history with that, Harry.
27:18Battle of Water and L.A.'s right to claim it goes back a hundred years.
27:21I think we could be looking at another chapter of that storied history.
27:24I mean, these guys clearly got a vendetta.
27:26The question is, what's their endgame?
27:28Well, they took down the power grid and kidnapped an engineer.
27:30That tells me they need access to a secure location.
27:33I'll get on the phone with the head of the utility and see what their most vulnerable sites are.
27:36In the meantime, let's hope Deacon and Pal can get Ricky Lawson to cough up something about their plans before this gets even worse.
27:46Los Angeles has stolen our land and water for decades.
27:49It's not stolen.
27:50The city has compensation agreements in place with the Owens Valley.
27:53Agreements that destroy people's lives.
27:54My father built and ran a hardware store in my hometown.
27:59Had to lease the land from your utility company, despite L.A. being 250 miles away.
28:05A couple years ago, when he wanted to retire, SCWP said he wasn't allowed to sell or transfer the property lease.
28:12Can you believe that?
28:13His own business.
28:15What did he do?
28:16Well, he had two choices.
28:17Stop paying and risk eviction, or return the land to its original state.
28:21He demolished everything he'd built over 30 years, raised his own legacy to the ground, and died of a broken heart.
28:31We're sorry that happened to your father, but you can't take your anger out on innocent people.
28:35Entitled Angelenos who steal and hoard our water are not innocent, and now they'll pay.
28:41Some of the water gets misused, I'll give you that.
28:43But a vast majority of it is an essential service for survival.
28:47Yeah, well, they should have found a different way to get L.A. its water, because now you're all going to drown in your own greed.
28:56We're running out of time and resources. Tell me you made some headway.
29:00Ricky Lawson seems obsessed with water, so I think the remaining three suspects are looking to sabotage a major L.A. water source.
29:05So they knocked out the power, leaving the water systems vulnerable.
29:08Exactly.
29:09SoCal Water and Power reassigned their personnel to fix the grid.
29:12By doing that, they left key water systems operating with skeleton crews.
29:15Okay, but there's dozens of filtration plants, pumping stations, reservoirs throughout the city, not to mention the L.A. aqueduct.
29:22So what part of the water system are they going after?
29:24If they wanted to blow the aqueduct, they could have done that anywhere between Santa Clarita and the Owens Valley.
29:29They want to do something here in L.A. to make a statement.
29:32Well, Hank Fonda owns a demolition company. He'd have access to high explosives.
29:35And any statement they make could result in a catastrophic loss of life.
29:39Just did a deep dive on Alice Burks, the engineer they abducted.
29:42She was recently promoted to lead the Hollywood Reservoir Restoration Project.
29:46Hollywood Dam? That holds two billion gallons of water.
29:49And its security systems could have been compromised by the blackout.
29:52If they blow that dam, all of Hollywood washes away.
29:54People, buildings, historic landmarks.
29:56Thousands of lives lost and billions of dollars in damage.
29:59It's the perfect target for these suspects.
30:00Go!
30:00I'll have patrols start evacuating the area below the dam.
30:1360 seconds out!
30:15All right, the Hollywood Dam is massive.
30:16It's a quarter mile wide, runs five levels deep underground.
30:20Looks like a maze of tunnels in there.
30:21It is. We'll go top to bottom, close the net.
30:24Think they'll try to blow holes through the dead center of the dam?
30:26A few strategically placed charges is more likely.
30:28And that kidnapped engineer will know exactly where to place them.
30:31Let's just hope the suspects haven't had time to set the charges.
30:33Otherwise, anything downhill of the dam gets washed away, including us.
30:37All right, here we go!
30:37We've got one security guard down at the entrance of the dam.
30:59Deacon Tan, go right.
31:04Miko, check her out.
31:05Help's on this way.
31:07What happened?
31:08They wanted me to shut down the dam's safety system.
31:11They shot me when I said no.
31:1320 David requesting emergency transport for one female victim.
31:17GSW to the abdomen.
31:18Which way did the men go, ma'am?
31:20Sorry, she's out.
31:21Oh, no!
31:22Miko, get her to safety.
31:23Pal, let's go.
31:23What do you got, Deacon?
31:30The whole dam could blow any second.
31:35Can you disarm it?
31:36It'll take time we don't have.
31:37They're using a blasting box.
31:39It also switches and triggers the C4 remotely.
31:41It's usually a small, brightly colored construction case.
31:44We've got to find it ASAP.
31:46Deacon and Tan clear to level three.
31:48Pal, you're with me on the lower levels.
31:49Let's move.
31:4930 David, shots fired.
32:07Third level, east side.
32:09Visual on all three suspects.
32:14We've been busy.
32:16I'll go set the final charge.
32:19Dan, I'm banging it.
32:27Not the weapons!
32:30Two suspects down!
32:3530 David, last suspect is headed to lower levels.
32:38Let's move.
32:42We've got to split up to a couple more ground.
32:44Go left.
32:45Watch your six.
32:45Roger.
32:4924 David, suspect is on the bottom level, easternmost corner.
32:58He has the blast box.
33:03Hondo, I have no clear line of sight on this level.
33:16I can't get a shot.
33:17I can't get a shot.
33:19Damn it, it's no good.
33:28He's going to blow the dam.
33:4120 David, last suspect down.
33:43We're cold for.
33:53We're cold for.
34:03You okay?
34:04Dinged my elbow pretty good down in the dam.
34:06Covered in six different layers of sweat,
34:08and I've got this vengeful chest curse hanging over my head,
34:11so yeah, I'd say peachy.
34:13Maybe you should buy more crystals.
34:14I will hit you.
34:15Okay.
34:16Fair enough.
34:19Listen, um, curse or not,
34:22when you got shot, I,
34:25my heart just dropped down in my shoes.
34:28I was supposed to have your six.
34:30Deacon, don't do that.
34:32Neither of us saw the shooter.
34:33You couldn't have done anything differently.
34:35Doesn't change how it feels, though.
34:39That bullet had been launched higher.
34:43Just glad you're okay.
34:45Me too.
34:46I'm going to shower now.
34:50Rid myself of this curse once and for all.
34:56You good?
34:57Yeah.
34:58I'll follow just call from the hospital.
35:00Alice Burks lost a lot of blood,
35:02but a bullet missed her vital organs,
35:04so she's going to pull through.
35:05Oh, good, good.
35:06And, uh, bomb squad,
35:07they cleared the rest of the C4 charges at the dam.
35:09There was enough explosive material there
35:11to blow that thing twice over.
35:13Close call.
35:14Yeah, a little too close.
35:15On the upside,
35:16we won't need a canoe to get home tonight.
35:19Annie and the kids okay with the blackout?
35:20In the valley.
35:21In this heat, with no A.C.?
35:22I know, Annie did offer them a payoff, though.
35:25If they're good and they limit their complaining,
35:27they get to polish off
35:29the half-melted ice cream in the freezer.
35:31Nice.
35:33Shift change should be happening soon,
35:35so we'll get you home for some rocky road.
35:37Hondo and Gamble are wrapping up
35:38at City Hall as we speak.
35:44The mayor's in the clear now.
35:47Patrol ID'd the truck drivers.
35:48Jeff Wright, Paul Kang's brother-in-law.
35:51Brass said they acted alone
35:53and there's no other active threats
35:54to Mayor Castro.
35:56You did really good work today, Dev.
35:59Why me?
36:03What do you mean?
36:04You had carte blanche
36:05to fill the open roster spot on 20 Squad.
36:07You could have picked anyone,
36:08and you chose me.
36:09I need to know why.
36:13Do you remember that shootout
36:14down on Hoover about 12 years back?
36:16A bunch of one-niners
36:17tried to blast their way out of a barricade.
36:19There was an elderly woman,
36:21a few doors down.
36:23A couple of niner bullets went through a window
36:24and scared the hell out of her.
36:25Mrs. Blake,
36:26one of the bullets shattered an urn
36:28with her husband's ashes in it.
36:29And you went and got that urn
36:31replaced for her on your own dime?
36:32It just seemed like the right thing to do.
36:35That's why I picked you.
36:37Because I bought an urn?
36:40Come on.
36:41Give it to me straight, Hondo.
36:42Gamble, I picked you because you care.
36:45The deck's been stacked against you forever.
36:47You are a black female officer.
36:49That already ain't easy.
36:50You come from a family of crooks
36:52and shady characters.
36:53Your father killed the cop.
36:55But you don't let any of that
36:57affect your work,
36:59despite the pressure of the scrutiny.
37:00You walk a just path.
37:03You keep your head down
37:04so you can help people
37:05who need and deserve it.
37:08It's rare to be a badass with empathy.
37:15I'm not really sure what to say.
37:17You don't have to say anything.
37:20Just stay
37:21and keep doing your thing.
37:23Any day now, guys.
37:46I would love to put this whole curse thing to bed.
37:48You can't rush brilliance.
37:58Screw it.
38:00What'd I say about talking?
38:05Checkmate.
38:05Hallelujah.
38:06Game over.
38:07Bad juju gone.
38:08I'm never going near
38:09the stupid chess set again.
38:10Dan, hold up.
38:24I read your incident log.
38:26You didn't report me.
38:27Why?
38:28Because some days on this job
38:29just flat out suck.
38:31And I wouldn't want my worst days
38:32to define me.
38:34I'm giving you a second chance.
38:35Just don't blow it.
38:37I appreciate it.
38:38Really?
38:39Checked in with social services.
38:42Kid's aunt's going to take him in
38:43and make sure he recovers.
38:47How you doing?
38:48Still pretty pissed off,
38:49but working through it.
38:51Figured I'd get a beer at Jimmy's,
38:54pin this jerk's face up
38:55and throw darts at it
38:56until I can't feel my arms.
38:57Any interest?
38:58You got an extra copy for me?
38:59You know it.
39:00Hey, did you say you're going to Jimmy's?
39:01I'd kill for a cold beer
39:02and a corn dog right now.
39:04Oh, come on.
39:04More the merrier.
39:05Are we sure the bar's open?
39:07Jimmy's never closes,
39:08but if they are closed...
