How about you, how are the
students?

crazy.
I swear I learn a new vulgarity
from them every single day.
- [Colton] From 5th graders?
- [Lauren] Yeah, they're
like little sailors.
What's this?
- Oh, that's a guy I met on a
call.
- A pastor?
- [Colton] Yeah.
- And he gave you his card?
- You're holding it.
- I just didn't know if he gave
it to you
or if you asked him for it.
- I didn't ask for it, he gave
it to me.
- I just thought maybe--
- I'm not ready yet, okay?
- Okay.
It just would be nice to find
somewhere
to go to church together, as a
family.
[Colton sighs]
[thoughtful music]
- [Colton] Oh man, I forgot to
tell you, I got that guitar.
- Taylor?
- Yeah.
- Aw, she let you get it, huh?
- Well, I don't know about
let, but, yeah, I got it.
- I gotcha you, easier to ask
forgiveness
than permission.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, you definitely need
to be at church Sunday.
- Yeah? [laughing]
- [Davie] I'll tell you
what, bring it over,
I'll teach you how to play
something.
- Okay, but what are we talking
here?
Like real rock, or some of
that soft Christian stuff?
Easy listening?
- Really?
- Yeah.
- By the time I'm through with
you,
I'll have you ready for the
praise team
or the mosh pit, your pick.

statement.
- What a night.
- Yeah, I'm over it.

You seeing this?

Brandon said a bad word.

- Yeah, he said--
- Uh-uh, don't say it!
- Fourth grade, I can't wait for
fifth.
- [sighs] I know, right?
- Hey, I was thinking we
could go throw the football,

Pizza?

Come on man, open the

some Chinese knockoff!
Come on!
Come on, man!
Only a gram, yo!
It's a Blu-ray!
Blu-ray, man.
[twangy country music]
- [Larry] What you think
we can get for this, Daryl?
- [Daryl] I don't know let me
see it.
- [Larry] Wanna beer?
- I don't know, Larry.
Don't we already have, like, two
of these?
- Well, now we got three.
- So don't get mouthy
with me little brother.
Oh, here we go.
- What'd you get this time?
- Uh, Blu-rod
- Hmm.
You got something against cash
or do you plan on eating it?
- That guy said that was
expensive.
It's a Blu-rod.
- [Denise] You idiot,
I can get one of these
for 30 bucks at Walmart.
- Well then go sell and get 30
bucks.
- [Denise] Do I look like
a Walmart to you, moron?
Ain't nobody gonna give
me 30 bucks for it.
- I'll take it.
- [Denise] Don't be
stupider than your brother.
- Woman, them are mine.
- [Denise] Not until you
go get divorce papers
signed by a judge, till then,
everything is just as
much mine as it is yours.
- Why don't you go back in
the house and leave us alone.
We're busy right now.
- Well, I can see that.
Why I married someone as
worthless as you, is beyond me!
- Don't you do it.
- [Denise] Do what, huh?
Yeah, worthless.
- You're gonna get out of here
before I up and throw you out of
here.
Daryl can help me lift.
- Not really with my bad arm,
Larry.
- That's all right, man.
- Watch, watch, here it is.
Boom!
- Oh!
- Are you watching another one
of those ridiculous cat videos?
No offense, Jessica, I know
how much you love your cat.
- None taken, sir.
- All right, before we start
briefing,
as you've you've noticed
we have some new meat.
Just finished his rotation on
days,
so it's time to show him how
to do some real police work.
- [Officer] Woo-hoo, stand up
kid.
Tell us something about
yourself.
- My name's Jacob Furman, and--
- And I'm a future alcoholic.
- [Captain] All right, all
right,
enough from the peanut gallery.
Go ahead, kid, you married,
kids, pet hamster, what?
- Have a girlfriend.
- Is she hot?
- Yeah, she's hot.
- Wrong answer, rookie.
- Ooh, where's your address?
'Cause we might need to
send some extra patrols
while you're on shift.
- I wanna get on that patrol.
- Enough out of you, Shep.
- Come on, Cap, I'm just
trying to get to know him.
- Oh, you want to get to know
him? Good.
You know, 'cause I'm gonna
assign you as his FTO.
[officers laughing]
The next four weeks
you can get real close.
- What, I've literally had the
last four.
- Yeah, you finished?
- Yes, sir.
- All right, we've got calls
holding.
Uh, the prosecutor's office,
they request more detail in our
reports.
Want more quoted testimony,
so take good notes, okay?
All right, some things never
change.
All right, you be safe out there
guys.
[Jessica clears throat]
And girls.
- Aren't you lucky.
- I know.
I'm always nice to you.
- [Captain] How about be
nice to your new partner?
- Hey, rook.
My name's Colton, lots
of people call me Colt.
- I'm Shep, looks like you're on
my detail
for the next four weeks.
Let's go see what you're made
of.
Start with coffee.
We can get us a couple down
here.
[speaking in foreign language]
- [Shep] What, you
heard the Captain, rook.
Be sure to take good notes.
- [Colton] Yeah, we want to see
some quoted testimony in your
report.
- Okay, ma'am--
[speaking in foreign language]
- How long should we leave him?
- Ah, a few more seconds.
All right rook, come on,
we'll handle the report.
- Thank you, ma'am.
What just happened up there?
- No idea.
You guys hungry?
- I'm eating with Lauren and
Gabe.
- Such a family man.
- You're just jealous, 'cause
I have someone who loves me.
- Your wife loves everybody.
So what do you eat?
- I like--
- Today you like hamburgers,
let's go.
- [Colton] All right, see ya.
- [Shep] Tell Lauren, hi
- [Colton] Yep.

- Here you go, sir.
- Oh, thank you.
- Did you catch any bad guys,

- [Colton] [laughs] No, not yet.
- [Gabe] That's boring.
- Hey, sometimes boring is good.
- Yes. I went ahead and ordered,
so we'd have a little time.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Hey, you didn't tell me that

is also your new chaplain.
- I didn't know that.
- Yeah.
- Where'd you hear that?
- Here you all go.
- Thanks very much.
The department spouse support
group sent out an email.
All right.
Gabe, you want to bless the
food?
- Yes, ma'am.
- Okay.
- God is great, God is good.
Let us thank him for our food,
amen.
God bless America, amen.
- God bless America.
- That's right. [laughs]
- Nice job.
- Good job, bud.
- Nice.
[Lauren laughing]
- Oh, please keep my daddy safe.
[warm music]
- Thank you, buddy.
Okay, ready?
- I'm so tired of this game.
- You dropped it last time.
- Colton, no, I'm terrible.
Don't throw it.
- You have to catch it.
- No, I can't catch it.
You know I'm terrible
- All right, ready, one, two,

- All right.
- Need any refills here?
- Ah, no we're good.
I think just probably a
couple boxes and the check.
- [Waitress] The boxes I can do,
but there ain't no check.
- Um.
- It's been taken care of.
[twangy guitar music]
- Got his head.
- Man, I'm hungry, man.
- Well, me too.

- [Daryl] [sighs] Whatever.
- Dang, man.

house?
- Oh, it's half mine too,
remember?
- It's my mama's.
- Why ain't there no food in
there?
- Well, I don't know.
Maybe because my worthless
husband spent all his disability
on beer for him and his stupid
brother!
- Come on, Denise, I ain't in
the mood for your mouth today,
why don't you just shut your
lip.
- Oh, I'm scared.

[woman crying]
- [Woman] Oh my God, please, my
baby!
- Got eyes on the victim,

- I'm pulling up now.
[woman crying]
Get your gun out, keep your eyes

Ma'am, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

[sirens blaring]
Colt, Colt!
Come on, man, get, [groans] come
on!
[woman crying]
[sad music]
[sirens wailing]
- David!
[sobbing]
[screams]
- Hey, looks like the
same MO as the last guy.
- Oh, we got a solid lead
though, he's not getting away.
- Good.
Another great day, right?
You know, the kid didn't even
live here?
Just the wrong place, wrong
time.
You all right?
- You believe in God, Shep?
- You getting philosophical with
me?
- Why does he let this happen?
- You are getting philosophical
with me.
- I mean it.
Why does a kid die and drug
dealer get off scot free?
- Well, the only answer to
that is there isn't a God.
- I don't get it.
[sighs] I don't get it.
Same thing, cops get killed.
People that kill them get off
scot free.
It's bull.
- David, again.
Colt.
Look, man.
What happened that night, it
happened.
You know, there's not like
a rhyme or reason to it.
It just, it happened.
We know the risk every time
we put on this uniform, okay?
You know it, I know it.
Come on, David knew it.
- Yeah, that doesn't make it
better.
You don't know.
You don't, okay, you weren't
there.
You didn't see it happen.
You didn't hold him when he
died.
- You gotta let it drop, okay?
That's it, you gotta let it drop
or you're not gonna be
able to do this job.
- Let it drop, huh?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, that's real easy
for you to say, real easy.
- Yeah, Colt, and you know
what, it is easy for me to.
Stop it, you know what?
Don't think I haven't noticed
every time,
every time stuff starts hitting
the fan
you start wigging out.
- That is not true.
- Yeah, it is.
You wanna know something else?
You better get your head back in
the game.
'Cause if not, it's gonna be me.
Okay, it's gonna be me or
someone else
you're lying there holding
dead in the street one night!
- Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Everything good here?
- We're good, you all right?
- Good!
Log this, narcotics from in the
house.
- Sure thing, Sarge.
Get out of my way.
- Out of your way, out of
your way, out of your way.
[slow, pensive music]
- [David] Oh, what a night,
Colt.
- [Colton] I'm over it.
- [David] Me too.
So how are you and
Jesus, man, you all good?
- [laughs] Here we go.
- I'm serious, how's your
faith, man, how's the walk?
- It's good, it's good.
- [David] That's good.
- Not as good as yours,
probably.
- [David] Just can't
imagine doing this job
without some backup, man.
- [Colton] Well I'm your
backup, that's all you need.
- I've seen you shoot.
It's more of an assurance than
backup.
Just knowing that when
I go into that call,
no matter what happens, good
or bad, God's in control.
Anything that happens, it's all
good, man.
- Yeah, it's true.
- We're a different breed,
brother,
we're a different breed.
You've got all these
people walking around,
head in the clouds, man, just
waiting.
No idea what's waiting
around the corner for them.
Knowing those wolves are there.
They're like little sheep.
And the wolves are just
waiting to pounce on them.
We're the shepherds.
Me and you, we're the shepherds
here to protect the sheep.
- You are getting deep on me,
David.
- Aye, I'm more than a pretty
face, okay?
- I don't know.
- Speaking of pretty faces,
you bringing Lauren to church
Sunday?
- Yeah, yeah, we'll be there.
- Well good, maybe we'll
go out to eat afterwards.
- Yeah, you owe me.
- All right, all right.
That's fair, I'll buy.
[sobbing]
- Colt, come on, man!
[pensive music]
[horn honks]
[horn honking]
- Colton.
[tense music]
Colton?
What...
You okay?
Babe, oh my god, babe!
Oh, honey.
[Colton sobbing]
I got you.
Peanut butter and jelly, right?
- Yes, ma'am.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Hey, hey, not too far.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Ever think about having
another one?
- Mm, only everyday.
I just don't want him to be an
only child.
Do you think you might
want to have another one?
- To have, I don't know, I mean,
sometimes I think it's cruel
to bring kids into this world.
Other times I think they're the
only ray of hope left in it.
- Wanna talk about it?
- Having another kid?
- No.
No, I don't want to talk about
it.
- Come on, Colton, what
is it, is it the job?
- Yes, it's the job.
It's always the job.
- Well, then, talk to
me, I'm here for you.
- Lauren, you wouldn't
understand.
- Well, I definitely don't
understand now.
I mean every time I ask,
it's always just, same old.
[scoffs] Come on, Colton,
you need to talk to somebody.
You need help.
And if not to me, maybe
somebody who has more
experience in this area.
- I am not talking to a shrink.
- Okay, I'm not talking
about a shrink, necessarily,
maybe a pastor or that new
chaplain?
Anybody, honey, but you can't,
you can't go on like this, you
know that.
When you're out on patrol
and you run into something
that concerns you, you
call for backup, right?
So just think of it as calling
for backup.
If you won't do it for yourself,
will you at least
consider doing it for me?
For him?
[thoughtful music]
- [Gabe] Love you, dad.
- I love you too, buddy.
I'll call the pastor tomorrow.
- About time, sunshine,
I was starting to think you got
lost.
- I was on the phone.
What's going on?
We going fishing or something?
- CID snagged the driver
of the drive-by that killed the
kid.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
And of course, he's spilling
the beans on the shooter,
hoping to catch a break.
[dispatcher speaking faintly]
- Nice guy.
- Yeah, he's a real altar boy.
His name is Omar Cesar.
The driver's given us the
details on a buy
that's taking place in that
parking lot
down there by the river.
Looks like we're gonna be the
new customers for the buy.
- No SWAT or street crimes on
this one?
- No time, the deal's about to
go down.
But they're getting prepped just
in case.
And in case the genius
tries to take a swim,
we got the boys from the
river unit on the water,
out of sight, on stand by.
- There's only one way
into the parking lot,
so once Omar's pulled in,
we've gotta move fast,
before he realizes that
we flipped the buyer.
- Sounds like a plan.
- Let's do it.
- Let's get it done.
- So we good?
- [sighs] Yeah, we're good.
- Are you, good?
- I'm good.
- Okay, let's go catch a
scumbag.
[dramatic music]
- Move on target, move on
target!
[intense music]
- 224 to headquarters, we've got
a runner!
He's headed toward the golf
course.
- I got him.
- [Colton] Out of the way!
River patrol, he's headed for
the water.
Don't move!
- [Shep] End of the line, Omar!
- Give me a reason, Omar.
- Get on the ground.
Get on the ground, now!
- You can't shoot me bro, I
ain't armed.
- What about that kid?
What was he armed with?
- Say, bro, that was an
accident.
I wasn't even aiming for him.
- Tell his mother that!
- Colt.
Colt!
[engine whirring]
- [Jacob] I got him!
- Wow.
- River Unit, you mind
fishing my rookie out also?
- [Man] Yeah, I guess we can do
that,
since he's right there.
[both laughing]
- [Shep] It's all right.
- [Colton] Easy.
I believe you were looking for
this one.
- Omar, looks like you went for
a swim.
- Man, this psycho almost
shot me for nothing.
- Stop whining, let's go, come
on.
- [Sarge] I got nothing.
- [Shep] You got to be kidding
me, man.
- Can we go back to the
station so I can change?
- You're not getting
my cop car soaking wet.
See you back at HQ.
- [Jacob] What am I supposed to
do, walk?
It's over a mile away.
Is he serious?
- Well, there's a bright side
rook,
maybe you'll be dry by
the time you get there.
[gentle music]
Well, you outdid yourself.
This thing is littered with
spell check.
- [Shep] I checked on that,
we can get rid of that.
- [Colton] Unbelievable.
- Oh, hey.
[everyone whistling, clapping]
- Hey, rookie?
You know it'd be better if
you take the uniform off
before you wash it, right?
[men laughing]
- [Captain] Seriously,
though, congratulations.
- For what?
- The River Unit called,
they said you passed your
swimming test.
[men laughing]
- All right, all right.
Rook, go get changed, we've
got reports to finish.
- Way to go rook!
- All right!
- Three more weeks!
Three more weeks, Wiggy.
- What I'd miss, why's he all
wet?
- Don't ask.
- Ah, I actually like that guy.
[gentle music]
- All I'm saying is one.
Just one text.
- I just can't guarantee
you'll get the number though.
- Either one of them, man.
- I'm holding out.
- You lay the foundation and
I'll finish it, all right?
[men laughing]
- You guys are a riot.
- Aren't we though?
Aren't we?
- Three weeks.
- [Colton] That's good
rook, stay right there.
- I like you.
- One, two three, aw, yeah.
Yep.
2-2-4 is 10-8.
- [Dispatcher] 2-2-4, step back
inside.
You have someone here at the
desk waiting.
- 10-4, headed back in.
- Deputy Miller, so glad to see
you again!
- Pastor Roberts.
- Please, call me Michael.
- As long as you call me Colton.
- Deal.
Can't tell you how glad
I am you reached out.
- I gotta be honest, I didn't
expect to see you here.
I thought that maybe
we'd meet at your office.
- Actually we're meeting at
yours.
I'm riding with you tonight.
- Oh.
- Yeah, your Captain set it up.
Plus, I've always wanted
to ride in a cop car.
- [scoffs] Okay, uh, that sounds
great.
I'll show you around, come on.
- [Colton] So these are just
some of the offices down here.
[twangy country music]
- Got him.
- Oh, good one.
Yeah, that was a good one.
20 bucks if you get him in the
head.
- Ooh.
- [Daryl] Ah.
- Well, go get'm.
- Mm-mmm.
Uh, your turn.
Remember I got 'em last time.
- No.
No, you didn't get them
last time you idiot.
- Don't call me an idiot, Larry.
I got 'em last time.
- I'll call you whatever
I good well please,
this is my house.
Now get the darts, Daryl!
- The old my house thing, again,
right?
Everything's a fight to you.
[Larry laughing]
Really?
You're going to hit me in the
butt.
- I need another beer, man.
- Well, hold on, let me
open up the washing machine.
Three in a row, you get 20
bucks, man.
- I got it.
This is the one for you, little
buddy.
[Daryl laughs]
I'm gonna kill you for that.
- [Daryl] Ow! [grunts]
You're spillin' my beer.
Get off me.
Get off, Larry.
Get off me!
- Yeah, my stupid husband
is fighting with his stupid
brother.
Yeah, that's right, 911!
- [Daryl] I'll kill you Larry.
- Get here as fast as you can,
please.
Get here, this is an emergency.
- So how long you been a cop,
Colton?
- Seven years.
How long you been a pastor?
- Oh, about seven months.
- Really?
- Yeah, but I've been in
the business 15 years.
This is my first gig as
the lead pastor, though.
- Yeah, you likin' it?
- You know, I'm still trying
to fill the pews, unfortunately.
But, yeah, I like it.
How 'bout you, you like your
job?
- Used to.
Not so sure nowadays.
- Not as exciting as it used to
be?
- Well, it's plenty
exciting, that's the problem.
Some days I think, I might be
better off
mowing the lawn or painting a
house.
You know, anything that doesn't
involve
people bleeding or crying or
both.
- That's understandable.
Man, can't be easy seeing the
things you do, day after day.
- No one calls 911 when they're
having
a good day, that's for sure.
- I guess your job and
mine have a lot in common.
We're both there for the
worse of people's lives.
So what keeps you going?
- Several things, I guess.
First, just the thought that
God wouldn't have me here
if he didn't think I could
handle it.
Secondly, I just can't stand the
thought
of somebody needing saving
and me not being there
when they do.
But I imagine that's also
something else
you and I have in common.
- [Dispatcher] 2-18 copy a
disturbance, 150 Rosewood
Street.
- You gonna respond to that?
- 2-1-8, 10-4.
- What are you mad or something?
- No, I'm not mad.
- Well, why are you so mopey?
- My underwear is still wet.
[laughing]
- Oh, you're all right, you're
all right.
[Larry coughing]
- Hey, Daryl.
- Hit me in the back with a
friggin' dart!
- I still got it, brother.
- I'm bleeding.
[Larry sighs]
You know, I'm bleeding.
- [Michael] Something wrong?
- If I had a dollar for every
time I dealt with these three,
I could retire early.
- Guess I've gotta stay in
there?
- That's the rule.
- Hey, don't you say nothing,
I ain't going back to jail.
- Great.
[Larry groans]
Here we go again.
- Hey, let's let the
rookie handle this one.
- Anything I should know?
- Look it here, got a new fish.
Pick you up at the day care?
- Sir, we received a call
from this residence about a
disturbance.
- Nah, ain't no disturbance
here.
- Why don't you just
tell me what's going on
and we'll get to the bottom of--
- There ain't nothing going on.
Me and my brother's just having
a little fun playing darts,
wrestling around, ain't no
law against that is there?
- [Jacob] Stay here.
- Sure thing, Lieutenant.
- The Chaplain in the car?
- Oh, yeah.
- You're not gonna get all
religious on me are you?
- It's just a ride along.
- Oh, is that what they call it?
- That is what they call it.
- Okay.
- Anything going here, sir?
- Ah, nothing going on.
Well I mean there's, no.
- Did anything happen here,
today?
- It's all good, all good in the
hood.
- All right let's go bail him
out.
- Yep.
- Larry?
Why are we here?
- 'Cause that fool woman called
you.
And she ain't going quit calling
you
till she gets me thrown
in jail for something.
- Okay.
What're you doing to Daryl?
You picking on him again?
[pounding on door]
- Denise!
Come out, let's talk.
- He going to jail this time?
- What for, Denise?
- He and his stupid brother was
fighting.
- Brother said nothing happened.
- Well, that's a lie, take him
to jail.
- [Colton] Denise, you are all
drunk.
- I gotta stay drunk to
be married to that fool.
- Okay, did anything physical
happen?
[laughs]
- Ain't nothing physical
happen with that man, never.
- In 15 years, right?
- Mm-hmm.
May as well be in jail, gave me
no babies!
- Okay.
- 'Cause I was like,
watching up at late night.
He took that thing, wah-pow!
Right through a melon and a beer
can.
I had to buy that thing.
- I would, too.
- Yeah.
- That's great, hey, guys, guess
what?
Larry just bought a new ninja
sword.
- It's awesome.
- Is that right?
- Anything?
- No, nothing.
- Larry, please don't make
me come out here again.
- I'm telling you, it ain't
me, it's that fool woman.
- Okay.
- Yep.
Bye, Larry.
- Well, you boys be careful.
Lot of crazies out there,
so be sure and write now.
- Why, you can't read.
- That ain't funny.
- 2-2-4 headquarters,
myself and 2-18 are 10-8.
No report.
- [Dispatcher] 10-4, 10-8, no
report.
- [Michael] It's sad people
choose to live this way.
There's definitely something
missing in their lives.
- 1995.
- Intelligence.
- Actually, I was thinking
more like love, hope, Jesus.
- [Colton] Pretty sure Jesus
would not be welcomed here,
Pastor.
- [Michael] Have you ever asked
them?
- That's more your line of work.
- Actually, that's all our line
of work.
Theologically speaking.
You been saved Colton?
- Years ago.
I guess it took.
Good, then you understand.
Jesus didn't just die for the
good ones.
He died for the bad ones, too.
Even those we may not
particularly care for.
They may just be the ones
who need him the most.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
- What about that one?
That one looks like an old
beater.
- Come on, you gonna go pull
over
some blue hair, Betty Crocker
type?
- Well.
- No.
There.
That's a good one.
So what's the PC for the stop?
- Uh...
- Better hurry, if he saw
us he's gonna pull over
and park real quick.
- Uh...
- His mirror's busted!
Come on let's go, light 'em up.
- Sorry, that was an accident.
- You do that again, I'm
handcuffing you to the light
bar.
And he just pulled off, he
pulled off.
- Well how was I supposed to
know?
- Stop.
- I couldn't even see--
You're supposed--
- [Dispatcher] 2-18,
copy a suspicious person.
- 2-1-8, 10-4.
- How did you get through the
Academy?
Really?
- [Michael] Got a family, Colt?
- Yeah, I got a wife, son, nine
years old.
- [Dispatcher] 2-2-4, check
with 2-18 and copy detail.
- Here we go.
- [Michael] Blessed are the
peacemakers.
- Some days I wonder.
2-2-4, go ahead.
- [Dispatcher] 500 block Wanze
Street.
White male acting erratic,
possibly CDS.
- 2-2-4, copy.
2-2-4, Headquarters, I'm 10-97.
I'll be out with him.
- What're gonna do?
- I don't know.
Make sure he's not a danger
to himself or anyone else.
- [Michael] I'll be in here
praying.
- [Colton] How we doing tonight,
sir?
Easy.
- Get away from me!
- [Colton] Easy, settle down.
Is this your residence?
- You're the spawn of Satan!
- That's new.
- Leave me alone, demon!
- What is your name?
What is your name?
- Satan is coming!
- Shep, step it up!
- Satan is coming!
- This one's going crazy.
Yeah, listen--
- Leave me alone!
- Sir, easy, easy.
Do not move, okay?
Listen to me, I'm here to help
you.
I promise.
Breathe, what is your name?
- Get away from me!
- Easy.
- [Man] No!
- Down, sir.
- Satan is coming!
[intense music]
Satan is coming!
[man groaning and yelling]
No!
No!
No!
[man yelling]
You won't take me!
No, oh, no, no, no, no!
[man crying]
- [Shep] There's no demons
in there, buddy, no demons.
Just some spiders, watch out for
that.
[man screaming]
- What was that about?
- It's called meth.
Don't try it.
- Did you check the house?
- Yeah, let's see if
anyone knows this guy.
[man screaming]
- Demon! [screams]
[intense music]
- What ya got?
- Oh, surprise, more meth heads.
All right, Col, go ahead and
knock.
[knocking on door]
- [Colton] Sheriff's Office,
open up.
- Three, two, one.
There they go.
- [Colton] Sheriff's Office!
- Col, I've got a girl not
moving.
She's unresponsive, go, go, go!
[Colton] All right.
- [Shep] We clear?
- All right.
She's unresponsive, grab your
CPR mask.
- It's in the car.
- Come on!
Come on, come on.
- How we looking?
- [Colton] Not good.
Flip her over.
Come on!
[girl retching]
There it is.
- There we go.
- There we go.
- Easy, easy.
- Hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey, welcome back,
princess.
- [Jacob] She's alive!
- We've got you.
- [Jacob] We saved her.
- Breathe.
- Yeah, we did.
I'll make sure medical's coming.
- Yeah.
- Stay with her.
- This happens every night?
- Just about.
She gonna make it?
- Thanks to you, she'll
live to see another day.
- [Colton] Thank you.
- You guys have a good night.
- Come on, I want to show you
something.
Methamphetamine.
It's pure evil.
Destroys everything it touches.
And people want more.
God allows it to exist.
Think Jesus is welcomed here?
- I know seven years of seeing
things like this everyday;
I get why you called.
But you can't let the
darkness overtake you.
You have to be the light.
- Pretty sure my light
went out awhile ago.
- You just saved a girl back
there.
- I answered a call, same
as anyone else would have.
- I don't know that I would
have.
Takes someone special to
answer a call like that.
- I don't think so.
'Cause that same girl will be
doing
the exact same thing next week.
- Possibly.
But I think God used you to
give her a second chance.
- Why does she deserve that?
My best friend, he didn't
get a second chance.
Got shot, killed, guy
that shot him got away.
That fair?
- If you look at it from
an earthly perspective, no.
It's not fair.
This is a fallen world.
Filled with sin and problems.
We're all gonna die one day.
There's no getting around that.
God's work is eternal.
From that perspective, what's a
few years
of unpleasantness, compared
to a lifetime of joy?
I wonder how many people has God
put
in your path who don't know
Jesus?
How many people who don't know
hope
because no one's ever told them?
You're the one they call
when they need help.
You're the one God's
called to be a shepherd.
To watch over his sheep.
You'll never be able stop all
the bad things from happening.
The Bible says it rains on
the just and the unjust.
But you can be a light in the
darkness.
- You are giving me way
too much credit, Pastor.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
- When someone broke into my
house,
held a gun to my wife's
head, who did God send?
Never forget, you have a choice.
You can either let the
darkness overtake you,
or you can be a bearer of the
light.
- I almost killed a man
yesterday.
[forlorn music]
He shot this little kid during a
drive by.
I had my gun pointed at him,
I could have pulled the trigger.
No questions asked.
I just kept thinking that this
guy killed
this little boy over
something as stupid as drugs.
I wanted to make him pay for it.
- But you didn't.
- I wanted to.
- There's no sin in
wanting justice, Colton.
But consider this,
what if that man died
without knowing Christ?
Your job is tough, man.
You're put into situations
that would make the rest
of us run away screaming.
But God's chosen you because
he knows you can handle it.
You've been called to be a
light.
Remember what the Bible says,
the harvest is plenteous but
the laborers, they're few.
God needs you to do his service.
It's noble that you'd
run in a burning building
and rescue someone's life.
But what good does it do
if you rescue their life,
forget about their soul?
What good is it if you
rescue them from that fire
and yet they're gonna
spend eternity in flames?
Can I pray with you?
Lord, I pray that you be
with Colton, right now.
God help him to find the
faith that he once knew.
Or help him to realize that
you've given him a calling.
Lord, I pray that you would
help him to follow that calling.
Lord, I pray that you would
help him take a stand for you.
To realize that you've got
a greater purpose for him.
Lord, I pray that you would help
him
to realize that we've got to
reach people.
People right where they're at.
[Lauren moans]
- Hey.
Everything okay?
- Yeah.
Yeah, everything's great.
[rousing music]
- Let's go, come on, one more
rep.
Come on my grandmother can
do this and she's dead Col!
Get it up, hey, there it is!
Right on, rack it!
- I liked your grandma.
- So did I.
- You know I got a couple more
than you.
- Congratulations.
How about next time when a
bad guy crawls on top of you
and lie real still you
just bench press him off.
- Shut up.
- That'd be easy, right?
- Get on the bag, I'm gonna do
it.
- All right, show me.
All right, let's see it.
- See, this is how you
handle the bad guys.
- [Colton] There it is.
- Hey, you ain't going soft are
you?
- No, I'm not going soft.
What makes you say that?
- I saw you the other night
hanging the head with that
pastor.
What am I supposed to think?
- Yeah.
I was just trying to get
some things right in my head.
That's all.
- Are they right?
- I'm getting there
for the first time in a while,
yeah.
- Oh, good.
Hey, man, it's cool if you,
like, found Jesus and all that.
More power to you.
I just want to know, uh,
I just want to know if I can
count on you
to get my back, is all.
- What are you talking about?
Of course you can count on me,
come on.
- Okay, all right.
- You know, Lauren and I did
check out
his church, Sunday, though.
Wasn't bad, actually.
You should come with us next
time.
- Forget it.
- Just saying it might be cool,
you know,
for all of us to go.
- Stop it.
God and I have an agreement.
I stay out of his way, he
stays out of mine, it works.
- There it is, nice.
- You already leaving?
- Yeah, I promised Gabe
I'd hang before shift.
- [scoffs] Oh my gosh, family!
- It's a bummer, isn't it?
- Yeah, it is.
- Hey, promise me something.
What's that?
- Promise me you'll
come to church with us.
Once, man, it's not gonna kill
you.
- [Shep] Once, I'll do once for
you.
- You'll do one?
- Yeah.
- He'll do one!
- For you.
- See you tonight.
- See you.
[Colton sighs]
- Okay, I'm out of here.
- I don't want you to go to
work, dad.
- I know, buddy.
I gotta help those that need it,
okay?
I'll be back.
- Why don't you just call in
sick tonight.
- Oh, you think they'd believe
me?
- Yeah.
You'd pull it off.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
- Okay.
- Get out of here.
- All right, I'm out.
- Dad, wait, policeman's
prayers.
- Oh, how could I forget?
- Of course.
- Okay.
[rousing music]
Lord, I ask for courage.
Courage to face and conquer my
own fears.
Courage to take me where
others will not go.
I ask for strength.
Strength of body to protect
others.
Strength of spirit to lead
others.
I ask for dedication.
Dedication to my job to do it
well.
Dedication to my
community to keep it safe.
Give me, Lord, concern for
all those who trust me.
And compassion for those who
need me.
And please, Lord, through
it all, be at my side.
Amen.
[Daryl snoring]
[can clatters]
[Daryl gasps]
- Well, Larry, I'm going to bed.
[Daryl groans]
[Larry sighs]
- Larry I have told you
to stop using my bathroom.
You stink it up!
You are--
You're worthless.
You're supposed to sell it, not
use it!
- Hey!
Go back in the house,
Denise, before I kill you.
- I have had it with you,
I am calling the cops.
And this time you are going to
jail.
I will be so glad to get rid
of your worthless, no good--
[thuds]
[Denise groans]
- That's the last time you
call the law on me, woman.
The last time!
- [Dispatcher] 911,
where's your emergency?
Hello?
911, where's your emergency?
Hello?
[thunder rumbling]
Hello, anyone there?
- I look over, Shep judo
chops this guy, right?
He hits the pavement,
I thought he was dead.
I mean, I thought he killed him.
- I know, he resisted.
- Resisted, what'd he sneeze?
- No, it's the soft-handed
technique, Sarge.
It's not my fault the pavement
was hard.
- Yeah, what about the big
dent on the front of your hood?
Same story?
- No, he tripped.
- Well there she is.
I was about to call search and
rescue.
- Why, you look like you're
just about to float away.
All right, club with fries,
a grilled chicken salad.
- Aw, the fat guy orders the
salad.
Hey, hey, endoscopy,
colonoscopy,
cholesterol, high
glycerides, low glycerides.
[sniffs food]
Keep it up big boy, your day's
coming.
- Well, where'd our cheeseburger
go?
He didn't get called out did he?
- He's probably in the bathroom
mirror
practicing his Dirty Harry pose.
- Does sound like him.
- All right, well, let me know
if you boys need anything else.
- Thank you, dear.
- Ah, that's a mistake.
- Oh, boy.
This is what happens.
- This didn't go well last time.
- No, it didn't.
- Shep, you ain't right!
You ain't right!
- I'm not.
- [Dispatcher] 2-0-6
copy a suspicious person
in Mill Haven Estates.
- Where was that?
- That was on four, they gave it
to six.
- 2-0-6 is en route.
- Sounds busy.
I was hoping for a slow night.
- You just had to go and say the
S word.
- Come on, Sarge.
- I know, I know.
Everything come out all right,
sunshine?
- [Shep] Did you remember to
wash your hands, young man?
- Of course.
[spits]
[men laughing]
Oh!
Really?
- [Shep] Hey, wash it down, wash
it down.
- Here, rook, drink some water.
Drink some water.
- The best.
- Down the hatch, good boy.
That better?
- [Dispatcher] 2-2-4 copy a 911
hang up.
- Never fails.
2-2-4, go ahead.
- 911, hang up, 150 Rosewood
Street.
No voice and no answer on call
back.
- Denise and Larry at it again.
2-2-4 and 2-2-8 en route.
- [Dispatcher] 10-4.
- Well, you can have my steak,
Sarge.
Just make sure you
finish your salad, first.
- Come to papa.
- Oh, that doesn't look good.
- Hope it doesn't rain.
- Really?
R word, R word, S word.
- See you guys later.
[thunder rumbling]
- Stupid woman.
[thunder cracks]
[phone buzzes]
- Hey, baby, nice photo.
- [laughs] I thought you might
like that.
I just wanted to call and say I
love you
before we go to bed.
- I love you.
I'm headed out on a call,
but tomorrow I was thinking
date night, you and me.
Maybe we can catch a movie or
something.
- Uh, if you're talking about
something
not animated for a change,
you are definitely on.
- Exactly.
Well, I love you, have a good
night, okay?
- Okay, hey, hey.
Hold on, Gabe wants to say
goodnight.
It's dad.
- Goodnight, dad, I love you.
- I love you, buddy.
Sleep well, okay?
- I will.
- All right, I'm gonna get him
to bed.
I'll see you soon, I love you
babe.
- Okay, I love you.
I'll be home soon.
- Goodnight.
- Bye.
2-2-4, headquarters, any luck
on getting ahold of that caller?
- [Dispatcher] Negative,
2-2-4, we're trying again.
[dramatic music]
- It's my steak dinner,
somebody's taking a ride.
- [Jacob] You know, I
think I'm finally starting
to figure this guy out.
Just an annoying, harmless
drunk.
- [Shep] How drunk do you gotta
to be.
- She has a pulse.
2-2-4, headquarters, roll
medical to our location.
Possible aggravated battery,
victim's unconscious.
I'll stay with her.
Keep your eyes peeled.
- Yep, he made it easy for us
this time.
- So much for harmless.
- [Man on radio] 2-0-6 will
be heading that way also.
- Want me to go ahead
and knock, or? No, no.
[Larry screaming]
[gun firing]
- Shots fired, shots fired!!
- Jake, you got eyes?
- I've been shot.
- 2-18, Headquarters, shots
fired, no eyes on shooter!
I repeat, no eyes on shooter!
- Came from the camper, Shep!
- [Colton] Jake's been hit!
- Jake, Jake, you all right?
- I don't have eyes!
2-2-4, headquarters,
officer down, officer down.
He's got to be in the camper.
Jake, crawl to me!
- I can't breathe!
I think I'm gonna die.
- You're not gonna die.
Crawl to me now!
- I can't feel my leg.
[gun fires]
- [exclaims] Golly!
- 2-2-4, headquarters, be
advised
armed suspect barricaded
inside the camper.
- [Dispatcher] 10-4,
2-80 is activating SWAT.
- Larry!
Larry, stop shooting!
- I can't get around the
camper, I don't have shot.
You have a shot?
- Don't have it.
- What are we gonna do?
- Shut up!
- Larry, stop this and come out
unarmed!
- I wasn't going back then,
and I ain't going back now!
You's gonna shoot me!
- God, I'm going to kill him.
[Jacob groaning]
- Let's get him out, okay?
Larry, is Daryl in there?
- [Daryl] Yeah, I'm in here.
- Just shut up and sit back
Daryl.
- [Daryl] I'm in here!
- [Colton] Daryl, come out!
- Big brother's gonna take care
of this.
- [Daryl] You're gonna
get us killed, Larry.
- Larry, you don't have
to die tonight, come on.
- Well I ain't going back to
jail.
- Larry, this is not worth it.
You've shot one cop, all right?
Let's end this.
- Ain't the first cop I shot.
That's right, you were there.
- Col, is he talking about
David?
[dramatic music]
- [David] Driver, step
out of the car for me.
- Hey, you seeing this?
- No, no, Colt, I'm not seeing
that.
I'm seeing we got 45
minutes left on shift.
My paperwork's done,
my evidence is logged.
And I see you really don't care.
- I don't.
- You wanna go after that.
- Let's get 'em.
- All right.
Well, you're gettin' the runner.
- No, I pulled something, man,
I think it's like my hammy.
- It's your stop, you
get the runner, rookie.
- We'll see.
[sirens blipping]
- It's the cops, man.
- [Larry] I ain't going
back to jail, boys.
- [Colton] Excuse me, sir.
Stop!
Stop where you are.
- [David] Driver, step
out of the car for me.
Gun!
[gun fires]
[gun firing]
[tires screeching]
- Larry, I do not want to kill
you.
Come outside right now.
- Hold on, don't shoot, I'm
comin' out!
I'm coming out, I'm unarmed!
- Come to me, get on the ground,
now!
On the ground now, crawl to me!
Get on the ground, move!
- Larry, come outside right now!
Be smart like Daryl here, come
on out!
- [Shep] Get down right now!
- All right!
You win!
Here I come boys.
- Drop the gun, Larry.
Larry, drop the gun.
- Oh, you coming' with me?
- Larry don't do it.
Don't, don't do it!
[gun fires]
[Larry groans]
Get down, get down, get down.
- Oh, God, please move, give
him space, give him space.
Colt, you all right, man?
[sirens approaching]
This is bad, this is bad.
Hold on, hold on.
No, it's fine, man, you got
this.
Cavalry's on the way, okay?
Cavalry's on the way.
Come on, we have an
officer down over here!
We're over here!
No, Colt, stay with me, come
on. No, no, no, stay with me!
Colt, you stay with me!
Don't you leave, come on!
Come on, get over here, guys!
Come on, come on, stay with me.
Stay with me, come on.
Breathe, breathe, man.
[solemn music]
Colt, Colt!
Someone get in there!
Guys, come on!
Come on, Colt.
- Hey, I'm the chaplain.
Somebody called me about
a deputy being shot.
- You're doing good buddy, hang
in there.
Come on buddy.
- Wait, wait, wait.
We're almost there.
- Colt, Colt!
- [Colton] Talk to Larry.
- What are we doing, come on!
- Talk to Larry?
- Get him in there.
- What about Larry?
- You get back, come on!
Get him in there, come on Colt!
Stay with me, stay with me!
Stay with me!
Come on, come on.
- [Gabe] Hurry, mom!
- Hi, hi, my husband Colton
Miller,
was brought in.
- Lauren, Lauren.
- Where's my dad?
- He's uh--
- Is he okay?
I mean, can we see him?
- Yeah, he'll be fine, he's
gonna be fine.
[gentle music]
[machine whooshing]
[ECG beeping]
- Morning, Pastor.
- Any changes?
- Nah, nothing, yet.
You would know he would wake up.
If this guy makes it and Colton
doesn't,
I might go in here and
finish him off myself.
- May I speak with him?
- I'm sorry, Pastor, we're not
letting anybody in right now.
He's got a slew of charges.
- Please, it's important.
Colton asked me to.
- Colton?
- Before he went into surgery.
- [sighs] I don't know, Pastor.
- It was Colton's request.
- All right, but just for a few
minutes.
- You ain't no doctor.
- No, I'm a Pastor.
- Well you're just wasting
your time here then.
- Colton didn't seem to think
so.
- Who's Colton?
- The deputy you shot.
The one lying a few doors down.
His name's Colton.
- I just knew him as boss.
Is he gonna make it?
- At this point, only God knows
that.
- How 'bout the other one, the
new guy?
- He's got a few cracked
ribs, some bruises.
But he's gonna live.
The doctors sent him home.
- Well, I wish the other one,
Colton?
Hadn't jumped in the way like
that.
He was just supposed to shoot
me.
- Why'd you want him to shoot
you?
- 'Cause I couldn't do it
myself.
I figured if I--
[groans]
What am I sayin'?
I was high.
He was just supposed to shoot
me,
so I could end this miserable
life.
- But he didn't.
- Well, the new guy sure did.
I guess Colton's just too
scared.
- No, that's where you're wrong.
In that moment Colton was
fearless.
He did what he did because
he cares about you.
[Larry scoffs]
- I don't think so, nobody cares
about me.
- When they were wheeling
him into surgery,
Colton said to make sure
that hell didn't get you.
Told me to tell you that
Jesus loves you, Denise, too.
- Now why would he say
something like that?
- Colton's a man of faith.
I honestly can't explain
why he did what he did.
I know it wasn't in his own
power.
At that moment, he was most
certainly moved by Jesus.
He could have shot you.
And by God's standards, he
would have been justified.
At least in my interpretation.
- Well, he should have.
I shot that deputy.
Killed his friend.
- And in return, he saved your
life.
Why'd you want to die Larry.
- Been worthless my whole life,
Pastor.
Just a worthless toke.
- No one's worthless, Larry.
- Well, I am, I ain't nothing.
Been drug using, cop killin',
alcoholic.
I ain't nothin'.
[gentle music]
- Some people might say so.
But Colton looked beyond that.
So does Jesus.
So do I.
You've certainly made mistakes.
There's no stain that the blood
of Christ can't wash away.
Right now, you can be made brand
new.
- Pastor.
I'm going to jail.
The only new beginning
for me is a life sentence.
- You're right.
You've done some horrible
things.
You're gonna be held
accountable.
The apostle Paul was jailed.
God used him to do some
wonderful
things while he was there.
You're going to a place where's
there's hundreds of people
that don't know the love of
Jesus.
God can use you while you're
there.
If you'll let him.
- I'm no preacher.
I'm no preacher.
- But you can be made brand new.
You can experience the
love, the forgiveness,
the compassion that
Jesus wants you to know.
The same love and forgiveness
and compassion that Colton
showed you
and risked his own life for.
Life's about second chances
and Colton showed you
great mercy and compassion
so that you could experience
that second chance.
Larry, don't you want
to be made brand new?
- I do.
- Heavenly Father.
God, I'm so thankful that you
care
about each and everyone of us.
Lord, that no matter what our
past,
you're willing to forgive
us if we'll just ask.
God, I pray right now for Larry.
[forlorn music]
[machine beeping]
- [Shep] Hey.
- [Lauren] I'm really glad
you're here.
- [Gabe] Hey.
- Yeah.
- See ya.
- Yeah, I'll be in there.
- Good morning, brother.
- Morning, Pastor.
- I'll make it.
- [Sarge] Pastor.
- [Gabe] Hey, Michael.
- [Michael] Hey, Gabe.
- Thank you so much for
everything.
- [Gabe] Thank you.
- Colton was such a special man.
- And a dad.
- Yes, he was.
Praying for you guys.
- Thanks, see you in there.
- Okay.
I'm truly sorry about Colton.
- Colton was a great man.
- Yes, he was.
- Guess you didn't pray
hard enough for him, huh?
I'm sorry.
I forgot.
You were too busy praying over
the dirt bag who killed him.
- I understand your
frustrations.
- Do you?
I lost two friends in one year
to that same piece of trash
you were so concerned about
in that hospital room.
They're always talking about
Jesus this and God that, so
where was he, Pastor?
His radio must not have been on
'cause he sure didn't show
up to save either one of 'em.
- He did save 'em, just
not in the way you wanted.
- God works in mysterious ways,
huh?
This may come as a shock to you,
Pastor.
I'm not here for you.
I'm here to fulfill a promise
that I made to one of those
friends.
[solemn music]
- Good morning.
Thank you for coming to church
today.
I had a message prepared,
but I can't get Colton off my
mind.
A few months ago, I came home
to the worst situation
a man can come home to.
There were police cars in my
driveway.
A criminal had broken into my
house
and taken my wife hostage.
An officer approached me,
placed his hand on my
shoulder and said, trust us.
Not an easy thing to do.
Those officers managed to
rescue my wife from harm.
I marvel how these men could be
so brave
in the face of such danger.
Later, I met that young officer
who placed his hand on my
shoulder.
His name was Deputy Colton
Miller.
I learned that Colton had
some demons, as we all do.
His faith had been shaken.
You see his friend and fellow
officer had been killed.
Shot in the line of duty.
He wondered how a God could
allow
something like that to happen.
Now we're gathered here again
today,
wondering the same thing.
I was there when they
wheeled him into surgery.
Just before they took him back
he asked me to express
his love for his family.
He also asked me to express
his love for his fellow man.
He even asked me to tell
the guy who shot him
that Jesus loves him.
Jesus was asked what the
greatest commandment was.
He said, to love the Lord
God with all your heart.
And the second was like it,
to love your neighbor as
yourself.
Colton not only believed that.
But his last step was to prove
that.
I later met the man who shot
Colton
in the intensive care unit.
I told him what Colton had
asked me to share with him.
I watched as this criminal, this
murderer,
asked the Lord to forgive him of
his sins.
Some of you may be bitter today.
But I recall what Jesus said:
"I am the good shepherd.
"And the good shepherd lays
down his life for his sheep."
That's exactly what Colton did.
And as I watched Colton's life,
as he became a man of faith,
a man, that was filled
with fearless faith,
as he trusted God and he
proved that he was willing
to do what others would not do.
Jesus said, "don't fear
them that can kill the body,
"but can't kill the soul.
"But rather fear him who can
destroy
"both the soul and body in
hell."
There are several police
officers here today.
No doubt you've heard the
verse, "Yea, though I walk
"through the valley of
the shadow of death,
"I will fear no evil."
But I wonder how many of you
have that kind of fearless
faith?
I wonder how many of you
can go to that next call,
that next briefing, and
that next bad situation,
knowing if things don't turn out
well,
that Jesus has laid claim to
your soul.
If you don't, I urge you to.
So would Colton.
Lord God,
I pray for your mercy
and compassion upon us.
Lord,
help us to have a faith that
Colton had.
Help us to have that fearless
faith.
Please bring comfort.
Our hearts are grieving
but we're trusting you.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
- Nice speech.
- It's not what I had planned.
Sometimes, God changes our
plans.
- Did Colton really say all
that?
- He did.
He said it.
He believed it.
Colton didn't want anyone
to perish, even his enemies.
But especially his friends.
Would you like me to pray with
you?
♪ You're no longer a slave
- [Michael] Dear Heavenly
Father.
Thank you for the life of
Colton.
Thank you for his fearless
faith.
I pray that you would help
us have that kind of faith.

What's this?

- A pastor?
- [Colton] Yeah.
- And he gave you his card?
- You're holding it.
- I just didn't know if he gave
it to you
or if you asked him for it.
- I didn't ask for it, he gave
it to me.

- Okay.
It just would be nice to find
somewhere
to go to church together, as a
family.

- [Colton] Oh man, I forgot to
tell you, I got that guitar.
- Taylor?
- Yeah.
- Aw, she let you get it, huh?
- Well, I don't know about
let, but, yeah, I got it.
- I gotcha you, easier to ask
forgiveness
than permission.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, you definitely need
to be at church Sunday.
- Yeah? [laughing]
- [Davie] I'll tell you
what, bring it over,
I'll teach you how to play
something.
- Okay, but what are we talking
here?
Like real rock, or some of
that soft Christian stuff?
Easy listening?
- Really?
- Yeah.
- By the time I'm through with
you,
I'll have you ready for the
praise team
or the mosh pit, your pick.
- Okay, oh, that's a bold
statement.
- What a night.
- Yeah, I'm over it.
- [Davie] Yeah, me too.
You seeing this?
- Hey, dad.
- Hey, buddy.
How was school?
- [Gabe] Great, but today
Brandon said a bad word.
- Oh, he did, huh?
- Yeah, he said--
- Uh-uh, don't say it!
- Fourth grade, I can't wait for
fifth.
- [sighs] I know, right?
- Hey, I was thinking we
could go throw the football,
what do you think?
- Yeah.
- And for dinner?
Pizza?
- Pizza!
- Pizza.
- Pizza.
Pizza it is.
- All right.
- I like that.
- What we got here?
[suspenseful music]
[car alarm blaring]
[pounding on door]
- [Man] Who is it?
- Yo, it's me, it's Benny, man!
Come on man, open the
door, I need a boost.
I got something.
I got one of those already.
- This was expensive, yo.
Come on man, it's not
some Chinese knockoff!
Come on!
Come on, man!
Only a gram, yo!
It's a Blu-ray!
Blu-ray, man.
[twangy country music]
- [Larry] What you think
we can get for this, Daryl?
- [Daryl] I don't know let me
see it.
- [Larry] Wanna beer?
- I don't know, Larry.
Don't we already have, like, two
of these?
- Well, now we got three.
- So don't get mouthy
with me little brother.
Oh, here we go.
- What'd you get this time?
- Uh, Blu-rod
- Hmm.
You got something against cash
or do you plan on eating it?
- That guy said that was
expensive.
It's a Blu-rod.
- [Denise] You idiot,
I can get one of these
for 30 bucks at Walmart.
- Well then go sell and get 30
bucks.
- [Denise] Do I look like
a Walmart to you, moron?
Ain't nobody gonna give
me 30 bucks for it.
- I'll take it.
- [Denise] Don't be
stupider than your brother.
- Woman, them are mine.
- [Denise] Not until you
go get divorce papers
signed by a judge, till then,
everything is just as
much mine as it is yours.
- Why don't you go back in
the house and leave us alone.
We're busy right now.
- Well, I can see that.
Why I married someone as
worthless as you, is beyond me!
- Don't you do it.
- [Denise] Do what, huh?
Yeah, worthless.
- You're gonna get out of here
before I up and throw you out of
here.
Daryl can help me lift.
- Not really with my bad arm,
Larry.
- That's all right, man.
- Watch, watch, here it is.
Boom!
- Oh!
- Are you watching another one
of those ridiculous cat videos?
No offense, Jessica, I know
how much you love your cat.
- None taken, sir.
- All right, before we start
briefing,
as you've you've noticed
we have some new meat.
Just finished his rotation on
days,
so it's time to show him how
to do some real police work.
- [Officer] Woo-hoo, stand up
kid.
Tell us something about
yourself.
- My name's Jacob Furman, and--
- And I'm a future alcoholic.
- [Captain] All right, all
right,
enough from the peanut gallery.
Go ahead, kid, you married,
kids, pet hamster, what?
- Have a girlfriend.
- Is she hot?
- Yeah, she's hot.
- Wrong answer, rookie.
- Ooh, where's your address?
'Cause we might need to
send some extra patrols
while you're on shift.
- I wanna get on that patrol.
- Enough out of you, Shep.
- Come on, Cap, I'm just
trying to get to know him.
- Oh, you want to get to know
him? Good.
You know, 'cause I'm gonna
assign you as his FTO.
[officers laughing]
The next four weeks
you can get real close.
- What, I've literally had the
last four.
- Yeah, you finished?
- Yes, sir.
- All right, we've got calls
holding.
Uh, the prosecutor's office,
they request more detail in our
reports.
Want more quoted testimony,
so take good notes, okay?
All right, some things never
change.
All right, you be safe out there
guys.
[Jessica clears throat]
And girls.
- Aren't you lucky.
- I know.
I'm always nice to you.
- [Captain] How about be
nice to your new partner?
- Hey, rook.
My name's Colton, lots
of people call me Colt.
- I'm Shep, looks like you're on
my detail
for the next four weeks.
Let's go see what you're made
of.
Start with coffee.
We can get us a couple down
here.
[speaking in foreign language]
- [Shep] What, you
heard the Captain, rook.
Be sure to take good notes.
- [Colton] Yeah, we want to see
some quoted testimony in your
report.
- Okay, ma'am--
[speaking in foreign language]
- How long should we leave him?
- Ah, a few more seconds.
All right rook, come on,
we'll handle the report.
- Thank you, ma'am.
What just happened up there?
- No idea.
You guys hungry?
- I'm eating with Lauren and
Gabe.
- Such a family man.
- You're just jealous, 'cause
I have someone who loves me.
- Your wife loves everybody.
So what do you eat?
- I like--
- Today you like hamburgers,
let's go.
- [Colton] All right, see ya.
- [Shep] Tell Lauren, hi
- [Colton] Yep.
- [Gabe] Hey, dad.
- Hey, hey, buddy.
- Hey, baby.
- Hey babe, how are you?
- [Lauren] Good.
How's the shift going?
- Oh, the usual.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Here you go, sir.
- Oh, thank you.
- Did you catch any bad guys,
yet?
- [Colton] [laughs] No, not yet.
- [Gabe] That's boring.
- Hey, sometimes boring is good.
- Yes. I went ahead and ordered,
so we'd have a little time.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Hey, you didn't tell me that
that pastor
is also your new chaplain.
- I didn't know that.
- Yeah.
- Where'd you hear that?
- Here you all go.
- Thanks very much.
The department spouse support
group sent out an email.
All right.
Gabe, you want to bless the
food?
- Yes, ma'am.
- Okay.
- God is great, God is good.
Let us thank him for our food,
amen.
God bless America, amen.
- God bless America.
- That's right. [laughs]
- Nice job.
- Good job, bud.
- Nice.
[Lauren laughing]
- Oh, please keep my daddy safe.
[warm music]
- Thank you, buddy.
Okay, ready?
- I'm so tired of this game.
- You dropped it last time.
- Colton, no, I'm terrible.
Don't throw it.
- You have to catch it.
- No, I can't catch it.
You know I'm terrible
- All right, ready, one, two,
three.
[laughing]
- [laughs] That's the closest
we've come.
- [Dispatcher] Copy your
resident at 1170 Pine Street.
[sighs]
- 2-2-4 en route.
- [Dispatcher] 10-4, I got you
en route.
- I'm sorry.
- Love you, be safe.
- Love you buddy.
- Love you.
- Okay, I will.
Taking this for the road.
- See you later.
- Bye.
- Hey, eat your food, okay,
buddy.
- Every time.
- I know, I know.
- If you don't mind, I'd like to
pick up
that family's check right over
there.
- All right.
- Need any refills here?
- Ah, no we're good.
I think just probably a
couple boxes and the check.
- [Waitress] The boxes I can do,
but there ain't no check.
- Um.
- It's been taken care of.
[twangy guitar music]
- Got his head.
- Man, I'm hungry, man.
- Well, me too.
- We got anything to eat?
- Uh, Blu-ray player. [laughs]
[Larry laughs mockingly]
- How'd you like me to use
your head as a T-stand, Daryl?
- [Daryl] [sighs] Whatever.
- Dang, man.
- Home run.
[refrigerator humming]
- [Denise] What you doing in my
house?
- Oh, it's half mine too,
remember?
- It's my mama's.
- Why ain't there no food in
there?
- Well, I don't know.
Maybe because my worthless
husband spent all his disability
on beer for him and his stupid
brother!
- Come on, Denise, I ain't in
the mood for your mouth today,
why don't you just shut your
lip.
- Oh, I'm scared.
What ya gonna do, Larry?
[chair clatters]
- I said shut it!
- Go ahead Larry, hit me.
I'll call he cops and they'll
send you back to jail.
That what you want?
- Woman, you shut your mouth
right now,
before I give you a
reason to shut your mouth.
[phone beeping]
- 9-1-1.
- Here we go.
- [Dispatcher] 911,

- Yeah, my husband is trying to

Yeah, I'm looking at the

No, I am not leaving my house.

- Gee, thanks.

- I just went in there
to get a sandwich.
- He's always drunk.
- She starts yelling at me.
- I don't wanna hear it Larry.
- She's smokin' my cigarettes.
- I hate that man.
He's always putting me down.
- So get a divorce.
- Can't afford one.
Plus there ain't no way
he's getting half of my mama's

- Right, okay, so nothing

- Well I ain't been physical

years.
- No, I mean, did he hit you?
- No, but he's yellin' at
me in my face like this:
Do you like this?!
I don't like this!
- Okay, okay.
- It's about time, this
guy will not shut up.
- I know it.
- Anybody goin' to jail?
- [Colton] No, unfortunately.
- [Sarge] We're done here.
- [Colton] Yeah, 10-8?
- What's up boss?
- Larry, get inside, okay.
Stop talking to her.

crayon waiting on you darling.
- [Denise] He's got dope in

- [Larry] I do not!
- That's because you flushed it
down
because you knew the cops was
coming.
- All right, Denise,
get back in your house,
Larry will stay in his, okay?
- You don't, you need a search
warrant.
- No, that's not happening.

Come back here and take him to

He's a bad [screams].

[woman crying]
- [Woman] Oh my God, please, my
baby!
- Got eyes on the victim,
where you at Shep?
- I'm pulling up now.
[woman crying]
Get your gun out, keep your eyes
peeled.
He could still be in the area.
- Ready?
- Yep.
- Let's move.

same MO as the last guy.
- Oh, we got a solid lead
though, he's not getting away.
- Good.
Another great day, right?
You know, the kid didn't even
live here?
Just the wrong place, wrong
time.
You all right?
- You believe in God, Shep?
- You getting philosophical with
me?
- Why does he let this happen?
- You are getting philosophical
with me.
- I mean it.
Why does a kid die and drug
dealer get off scot free?
- Well, the only answer to
that is there isn't a God.
- I don't get it.
[sighs] I don't get it.
Same thing, cops get killed.
People that kill them get off
scot free.
It's bull.
- David, again.
Colt.
Look, man.
What happened that night, it
happened.
You know, there's not like
a rhyme or reason to it.
It just, it happened.
We know the risk every time
we put on this uniform, okay?
You know it, I know it.
Come on, David knew it.
- Yeah, that doesn't make it
better.
You don't know.
You don't, okay, you weren't
there.
You didn't see it happen.
You didn't hold him when he
died.
- You gotta let it drop, okay?
That's it, you gotta let it drop
or you're not gonna be
able to do this job.
- Let it drop, huh?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, that's real easy
for you to say, real easy.
- Yeah, Colt, and you know
what, it is easy for me to.
Stop it, you know what?
Don't think I haven't noticed
every time,
every time stuff starts hitting
the fan
you start wigging out.
- That is not true.
- Yeah, it is.
You wanna know something else?
You better get your head back in
the game.
'Cause if not, it's gonna be me.
Okay, it's gonna be me or
someone else
you're lying there holding
dead in the street one night!
- Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Everything good here?
- We're good, you all right?
- Good!
Log this, narcotics from in the
house.
- Sure thing, Sarge.
Get out of my way.
- Out of your way, out of
your way, out of your way.
[slow, pensive music]
- [David] Oh, what a night,
Colt.
- [Colton] I'm over it.
- [David] Me too.
So how are you and
Jesus, man, you all good?
- [laughs] Here we go.
- I'm serious, how's your
faith, man, how's the walk?
- It's good, it's good.
- [David] That's good.
- Not as good as yours,
probably.
- [David] Just can't
imagine doing this job
without some backup, man.
- [Colton] Well I'm your
backup, that's all you need.
- I've seen you shoot.
It's more of an assurance than
backup.
Just knowing that when
I go into that call,
no matter what happens, good
or bad, God's in control.
Anything that happens, it's all
good, man.
- Yeah, it's true.
- We're a different breed,
brother,
we're a different breed.
You've got all these
people walking around,
head in the clouds, man, just
waiting.
No idea what's waiting
around the corner for them.
Knowing those wolves are there.
They're like little sheep.
And the wolves are just
waiting to pounce on them.
We're the shepherds.
Me and you, we're the shepherds
here to protect the sheep.
- You are getting deep on me,
David.
- Aye, I'm more than a pretty
face, okay?
- I don't know.
- Speaking of pretty faces,
you bringing Lauren to church
Sunday?
- Yeah, yeah, we'll be there.
- Well good, maybe we'll
go out to eat afterwards.
- Yeah, you owe me.
- All right, all right.
That's fair, I'll buy.
[sobbing]
- Colt, come on, man!
[pensive music]
[horn honks]
[horn honking]
- Colton.
[tense music]
Colton?
What...
You okay?
Babe, oh my god, babe!
Oh, honey.
[Colton sobbing]
I got you.
Peanut butter and jelly, right?
- Yes, ma'am.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Hey, hey, not too far.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Ever think about having
another one?
- Mm, only everyday.
I just don't want him to be an
only child.
Do you think you might
want to have another one?
- To have, I don't know, I mean,
sometimes I think it's cruel
to bring kids into this world.
Other times I think they're the
only ray of hope left in it.
- Wanna talk about it?
- Having another kid?
- No.
No, I don't want to talk about
it.
- Come on, Colton, what
is it, is it the job?
- Yes, it's the job.
It's always the job.
- Well, then, talk to
me, I'm here for you.
- Lauren, you wouldn't
understand.
- Well, I definitely don't
understand now.
I mean every time I ask,
it's always just, same old.
[scoffs] Come on, Colton,
you need to talk to somebody.
You need help.
And if not to me, maybe
somebody who has more
experience in this area.
- I am not talking to a shrink.
- Okay, I'm not talking
about a shrink, necessarily,
maybe a pastor or that new
chaplain?
Anybody, honey, but you can't,
you can't go on like this, you
know that.
When you're out on patrol
and you run into something
that concerns you, you
call for backup, right?
So just think of it as calling
for backup.
If you won't do it for yourself,
will you at least
consider doing it for me?
For him?
[thoughtful music]
- [Gabe] Love you, dad.
- I love you too, buddy.
I'll call the pastor tomorrow.
- About time, sunshine,
I was starting to think you got
lost.
- I was on the phone.
What's going on?
We going fishing or something?
- CID snagged the driver
of the drive-by that killed the
kid.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
And of course, he's spilling
the beans on the shooter,
hoping to catch a break.
[dispatcher speaking faintly]
- Nice guy.
- Yeah, he's a real altar boy.
His name is Omar Cesar.
The driver's given us the
details on a buy
that's taking place in that
parking lot
down there by the river.
Looks like we're gonna be the
new customers for the buy.
- No SWAT or street crimes on
this one?
- No time, the deal's about to
go down.
But they're getting prepped just
in case.
And in case the genius
tries to take a swim,
we got the boys from the
river unit on the water,
out of sight, on stand by.
- There's only one way
into the parking lot,
so once Omar's pulled in,
we've gotta move fast,
before he realizes that
we flipped the buyer.
- Sounds like a plan.
- Let's do it.
- Let's get it done.
- So we good?
- [sighs] Yeah, we're good.
- Are you, good?
- I'm good.
- Okay, let's go catch a
scumbag.
[dramatic music]
- Move on target, move on
target!
[intense music]
- 224 to headquarters, we've got
a runner!
He's headed toward the golf
course.
- I got him.
- [Colton] Out of the way!
River patrol, he's headed for
the water.
Don't move!
- [Shep] End of the line, Omar!
- Give me a reason, Omar.
- Get on the ground.
Get on the ground, now!
- You can't shoot me bro, I
ain't armed.
- What about that kid?
What was he armed with?
- Say, bro, that was an
accident.
I wasn't even aiming for him.
- Tell his mother that!
- Colt.
Colt!
[engine whirring]
- [Jacob] I got him!
- Wow.
- River Unit, you mind
fishing my rookie out also?
- [Man] Yeah, I guess we can do
that,
since he's right there.
[both laughing]
- [Shep] It's all right.
- [Colton] Easy.
I believe you were looking for
this one.
- Omar, looks like you went for
a swim.
- Man, this psycho almost
shot me for nothing.
- Stop whining, let's go, come
on.
- [Sarge] I got nothing.
- [Shep] You got to be kidding
me, man.
- Can we go back to the
station so I can change?
- You're not getting
my cop car soaking wet.
See you back at HQ.
- [Jacob] What am I supposed to
do, walk?
It's over a mile away.
Is he serious?
- Well, there's a bright side
rook,
maybe you'll be dry by
the time you get there.
[gentle music]
Well, you outdid yourself.
This thing is littered with
spell check.
- [Shep] I checked on that,
we can get rid of that.
- [Colton] Unbelievable.
- Oh, hey.
[everyone whistling, clapping]
- Hey, rookie?
You know it'd be better if
you take the uniform off
before you wash it, right?
[men laughing]
- [Captain] Seriously,
though, congratulations.
- For what?
- The River Unit called,
they said you passed your
swimming test.
[men laughing]
- All right, all right.
Rook, go get changed, we've
got reports to finish.
- Way to go rook!
- All right!
- Three more weeks!
Three more weeks, Wiggy.
- What I'd miss, why's he all
wet?
- Don't ask.
- Ah, I actually like that guy.
[gentle music]
- All I'm saying is one.
Just one text.
- I just can't guarantee
you'll get the number though.
- Either one of them, man.
- I'm holding out.
- You lay the foundation and
I'll finish it, all right?
[men laughing]
- You guys are a riot.
- Aren't we though?
Aren't we?
- Three weeks.
- [Colton] That's good
rook, stay right there.
- I like you.
- One, two three, aw, yeah.
Yep.
2-2-4 is 10-8.
- [Dispatcher] 2-2-4, step back
inside.
You have someone here at the
desk waiting.
- 10-4, headed back in.
- Deputy Miller, so glad to see
you again!
- Pastor Roberts.
- Please, call me Michael.
- As long as you call me Colton.
- Deal.
Can't tell you how glad
I am you reached out.
- I gotta be honest, I didn't
expect to see you here.
I thought that maybe
we'd meet at your office.
- Actually we're meeting at
yours.
I'm riding with you tonight.
- Oh.
- Yeah, your Captain set it up.
Plus, I've always wanted
to ride in a cop car.
- [scoffs] Okay, uh, that sounds
great.
I'll show you around, come on.
- [Colton] So these are just
some of the offices down here.
[twangy country music]
- Got him.
- Oh, good one.
Yeah, that was a good one.
20 bucks if you get him in the
head.
- Ooh.
- [Daryl] Ah.
- Well, go get'm.
- Mm-mmm.
Uh, your turn.
Remember I got 'em last time.
- No.
No, you didn't get them
last time you idiot.
- Don't call me an idiot, Larry.
I got 'em last time.
- I'll call you whatever
I good well please,
this is my house.
Now get the darts, Daryl!
- The old my house thing, again,
right?
Everything's a fight to you.
[Larry laughing]
Really?
You're going to hit me in the
butt.
- I need another beer, man.
- Well, hold on, let me
open up the washing machine.
Three in a row, you get 20
bucks, man.
- I got it.
This is the one for you, little
buddy.
[Daryl laughs]
I'm gonna kill you for that.
- [Daryl] Ow! [grunts]
You're spillin' my beer.
Get off me.
Get off, Larry.
Get off me!
- Yeah, my stupid husband
is fighting with his stupid
brother.
Yeah, that's right, 911!
- [Daryl] I'll kill you Larry.
- Get here as fast as you can,
please.
Get here, this is an emergency.
- So how long you been a cop,
Colton?
- Seven years.
How long you been a pastor?
- Oh, about seven months.
- Really?
- Yeah, but I've been in
the business 15 years.
This is my first gig as
the lead pastor, though.
- Yeah, you likin' it?
- You know, I'm still trying
to fill the pews, unfortunately.
But, yeah, I like it.
How 'bout you, you like your
job?
- Used to.
Not so sure nowadays.
- Not as exciting as it used to
be?
- Well, it's plenty
exciting, that's the problem.
Some days I think, I might be
better off
mowing the lawn or painting a
house.
You know, anything that doesn't
involve
people bleeding or crying or
both.
- That's understandable.
Man, can't be easy seeing the
things you do, day after day.
- No one calls 911 when they're
having
a good day, that's for sure.
- I guess your job and
mine have a lot in common.
We're both there for the
worse of people's lives.
So what keeps you going?
- Several things, I guess.
First, just the thought that
God wouldn't have me here
if he didn't think I could
handle it.
Secondly, I just can't stand the
thought
of somebody needing saving
and me not being there
when they do.
But I imagine that's also
something else
you and I have in common.
- [Dispatcher] 2-18 copy a
disturbance, 150 Rosewood
Street.
- You gonna respond to that?
- 2-1-8, 10-4.
- What are you mad or something?
- No, I'm not mad.
- Well, why are you so mopey?
- My underwear is still wet.
[laughing]
- Oh, you're all right, you're
all right.
[Larry coughing]
- Hey, Daryl.
- Hit me in the back with a
friggin' dart!
- I still got it, brother.
- I'm bleeding.
[Larry sighs]
You know, I'm bleeding.
- [Michael] Something wrong?
- If I had a dollar for every
time I dealt with these three,
I could retire early.
- Guess I've gotta stay in
there?
- That's the rule.
- Hey, don't you say nothing,
I ain't going back to jail.
- Great.
[Larry groans]
Here we go again.
- Hey, let's let the
rookie handle this one.
- Anything I should know?
- Look it here, got a new fish.
Pick you up at the day care?
- Sir, we received a call
from this residence about a
disturbance.
- Nah, ain't no disturbance
here.
- Why don't you just
tell me what's going on
and we'll get to the bottom of--
- There ain't nothing going on.
Me and my brother's just having
a little fun playing darts,
wrestling around, ain't no
law against that is there?
- [Jacob] Stay here.
- Sure thing, Lieutenant.
- The Chaplain in the car?
- Oh, yeah.
- You're not gonna get all
religious on me are you?
- It's just a ride along.
- Oh, is that what they call it?
- That is what they call it.
- Okay.
- Anything going here, sir?
- Ah, nothing going on.
Well I mean there's, no.
- Did anything happen here,
today?
- It's all good, all good in the
hood.
- All right let's go bail him
out.
- Yep.
- Larry?
Why are we here?
- 'Cause that fool woman called
you.
And she ain't going quit calling
you
till she gets me thrown
in jail for something.
- Okay.
What're you doing to Daryl?
You picking on him again?
[pounding on door]
- Denise!
Come out, let's talk.
- He going to jail this time?
- What for, Denise?
- He and his stupid brother was
fighting.
- Brother said nothing happened.
- Well, that's a lie, take him
to jail.
- [Colton] Denise, you are all
drunk.
- I gotta stay drunk to
be married to that fool.
- Okay, did anything physical
happen?
[laughs]
- Ain't nothing physical
happen with that man, never.
- In 15 years, right?
- Mm-hmm.
May as well be in jail, gave me
no babies!
- Okay.
- 'Cause I was like,
watching up at late night.
He took that thing, wah-pow!
Right through a melon and a beer
can.
I had to buy that thing.
- I would, too.
- Yeah.
- That's great, hey, guys, guess
what?
Larry just bought a new ninja
sword.
- It's awesome.
- Is that right?
- Anything?
- No, nothing.
- Larry, please don't make
me come out here again.
- I'm telling you, it ain't
me, it's that fool woman.
- Okay.
- Yep.
Bye, Larry.
- Well, you boys be careful.
Lot of crazies out there,
so be sure and write now.
- Why, you can't read.
- That ain't funny.
- 2-2-4 headquarters,
myself and 2-18 are 10-8.
No report.
- [Dispatcher] 10-4, 10-8, no
report.
- [Michael] It's sad people
choose to live this way.
There's definitely something
missing in their lives.
- 1995.
- Intelligence.
- Actually, I was thinking
more like love, hope, Jesus.
- [Colton] Pretty sure Jesus
would not be welcomed here,
Pastor.
- [Michael] Have you ever asked
them?
- That's more your line of work.
- Actually, that's all our line
of work.
Theologically speaking.
You been saved Colton?
- Years ago.
I guess it took.
Good, then you understand.
Jesus didn't just die for the
good ones.
He died for the bad ones, too.
Even those we may not
particularly care for.
They may just be the ones
who need him the most.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
- What about that one?
That one looks like an old
beater.
- Come on, you gonna go pull
over
some blue hair, Betty Crocker
type?
- Well.
- No.
There.
That's a good one.
So what's the PC for the stop?
- Uh...
- Better hurry, if he saw
us he's gonna pull over
and park real quick.
- Uh...
- His mirror's busted!
Come on let's go, light 'em up.
- Sorry, that was an accident.
- You do that again, I'm
handcuffing you to the light
bar.
And he just pulled off, he
pulled off.
- Well how was I supposed to
know?
- Stop.
- I couldn't even see--
You're supposed--
- [Dispatcher] 2-18,
copy a suspicious person.
- 2-1-8, 10-4.
- How did you get through the
Academy?
Really?
- [Michael] Got a family, Colt?
- Yeah, I got a wife, son, nine
years old.
- [Dispatcher] 2-2-4, check
with 2-18 and copy detail.
- Here we go.
- [Michael] Blessed are the
peacemakers.
- Some days I wonder.
2-2-4, go ahead.
- [Dispatcher] 500 block Wanze
Street.
White male acting erratic,
possibly CDS.
- 2-2-4, copy.
2-2-4, Headquarters, I'm 10-97.
I'll be out with him.
- What're gonna do?
- I don't know.
Make sure he's not a danger
to himself or anyone else.
- [Michael] I'll be in here
praying.
- [Colton] How we doing tonight,
sir?
Easy.
- Get away from me!
- [Colton] Easy, settle down.
Is this your residence?
- You're the spawn of Satan!
- That's new.
- Leave me alone, demon!
- What is your name?
What is your name?
- Satan is coming!
- Shep, step it up!
- Satan is coming!
- This one's going crazy.
Yeah, listen--
- Leave me alone!
- Sir, easy, easy.
Do not move, okay?
Listen to me, I'm here to help
you.
I promise.
Breathe, what is your name?
- Get away from me!
- Easy.
- [Man] No!
- Down, sir.
- Satan is coming!
[intense music]
Satan is coming!
[man groaning and yelling]
No!
No!
No!
[man yelling]
You won't take me!
No, oh, no, no, no, no!
[man crying]
- [Shep] There's no demons
in there, buddy, no demons.
Just some spiders, watch out for
that.
[man screaming]
- What was that about?
- It's called meth.
Don't try it.
- Did you check the house?
- Yeah, let's see if
anyone knows this guy.
[man screaming]
- Demon! [screams]
[intense music]
- What ya got?
- Oh, surprise, more meth heads.
All right, Col, go ahead and
knock.
[knocking on door]
- [Colton] Sheriff's Office,
open up.
- Three, two, one.
There they go.
- [Colton] Sheriff's Office!
- Col, I've got a girl not
moving.
She's unresponsive, go, go, go!
[Colton] All right.
- [Shep] We clear?
- All right.
She's unresponsive, grab your
CPR mask.
- It's in the car.
- Come on!
Come on, come on.
- How we looking?
- [Colton] Not good.
Flip her over.
Come on!
[girl retching]
There it is.
- There we go.
- There we go.
- Easy, easy.
- Hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey, welcome back,
princess.
- [Jacob] She's alive!
- We've got you.
- [Jacob] We saved her.
- Breathe.
- Yeah, we did.
I'll make sure medical's coming.
- Yeah.
- Stay with her.
- This happens every night?
- Just about.
She gonna make it?
- Thanks to you, she'll
live to see another day.
- [Colton] Thank you.
- You guys have a good night.
- Come on, I want to show you
something.
Methamphetamine.
It's pure evil.
Destroys everything it touches.
And people want more.
God allows it to exist.
Think Jesus is welcomed here?
- I know seven years of seeing
things like this everyday;
I get why you called.
But you can't let the
darkness overtake you.
You have to be the light.
- Pretty sure my light
went out awhile ago.
- You just saved a girl back
there.
- I answered a call, same
as anyone else would have.
- I don't know that I would
have.
Takes someone special to
answer a call like that.
- I don't think so.
'Cause that same girl will be
doing
the exact same thing next week.
- Possibly.
But I think God used you to
give her a second chance.
- Why does she deserve that?
My best friend, he didn't
get a second chance.
Got shot, killed, guy
that shot him got away.
That fair?
- If you look at it from
an earthly perspective, no.
It's not fair.
This is a fallen world.
Filled with sin and problems.
We're all gonna die one day.
There's no getting around that.
God's work is eternal.
From that perspective, what's a
few years
of unpleasantness, compared
to a lifetime of joy?
I wonder how many people has God
put
in your path who don't know
Jesus?
How many people who don't know
hope
because no one's ever told them?
You're the one they call
when they need help.
You're the one God's
called to be a shepherd.
To watch over his sheep.
You'll never be able stop all
the bad things from happening.
The Bible says it rains on
the just and the unjust.
But you can be a light in the
darkness.
- You are giving me way
too much credit, Pastor.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
- When someone broke into my
house,
held a gun to my wife's
head, who did God send?
Never forget, you have a choice.
You can either let the
darkness overtake you,
or you can be a bearer of the
light.
- I almost killed a man
yesterday.
[forlorn music]
He shot this little kid during a
drive by.
I had my gun pointed at him,
I could have pulled the trigger.
No questions asked.
I just kept thinking that this
guy killed
this little boy over
something as stupid as drugs.
I wanted to make him pay for it.
- But you didn't.
- I wanted to.
- There's no sin in
wanting justice, Colton.
But consider this,
what if that man died
without knowing Christ?
Your job is tough, man.
You're put into situations
that would make the rest
of us run away screaming.
But God's chosen you because
he knows you can handle it.
You've been called to be a
light.
Remember what the Bible says,
the harvest is plenteous but
the laborers, they're few.
God needs you to do his service.
It's noble that you'd
run in a burning building
and rescue someone's life.
But what good does it do
if you rescue their life,
forget about their soul?
What good is it if you
rescue them from that fire
and yet they're gonna
spend eternity in flames?
Can I pray with you?
Lord, I pray that you be
with Colton, right now.
God help him to find the
faith that he once knew.
Or help him to realize that
you've given him a calling.
Lord, I pray that you would
help him to follow that calling.
Lord, I pray that you would
help him take a stand for you.
To realize that you've got
a greater purpose for him.
Lord, I pray that you would help
him
to realize that we've got to
reach people.
People right where they're at.
[Lauren moans]
- Hey.
Everything okay?
- Yeah.
Yeah, everything's great.
[rousing music]
- Let's go, come on, one more
rep.
Come on my grandmother can
do this and she's dead Col!
Get it up, hey, there it is!
Right on, rack it!
- I liked your grandma.
- So did I.
- You know I got a couple more
than you.
- Congratulations.
How about next time when a
bad guy crawls on top of you
and lie real still you
just bench press him off.
- Shut up.
- That'd be easy, right?
- Get on the bag, I'm gonna do
it.
- All right, show me.
All right, let's see it.
- See, this is how you
handle the bad guys.
- [Colton] There it is.
- Hey, you ain't going soft are
you?
- No, I'm not going soft.
What makes you say that?
- I saw you the other night
hanging the head with that
pastor.
What am I supposed to think?
- Yeah.
I was just trying to get
some things right in my head.
That's all.
- Are they right?
- I'm getting there
for the first time in a while,
yeah.
- Oh, good.
Hey, man, it's cool if you,
like, found Jesus and all that.
More power to you.
I just want to know, uh,
I just want to know if I can
count on you
to get my back, is all.
- What are you talking about?
Of course you can count on me,
come on.
- Okay, all right.
- You know, Lauren and I did
check out
his church, Sunday, though.
Wasn't bad, actually.
You should come with us next
time.
- Forget it.
- Just saying it might be cool,
you know,
for all of us to go.
- Stop it.
God and I have an agreement.
I stay out of his way, he
stays out of mine, it works.
- There it is, nice.
- You already leaving?
- Yeah, I promised Gabe
I'd hang before shift.
- [scoffs] Oh my gosh, family!
- It's a bummer, isn't it?
- Yeah, it is.
- Hey, promise me something.
What's that?
- Promise me you'll
come to church with us.
Once, man, it's not gonna kill
you.
- [Shep] Once, I'll do once for
you.
- You'll do one?
- Yeah.
- He'll do one!
- For you.
- See you tonight.
- See you.
[Colton sighs]
- Okay, I'm out of here.
- I don't want you to go to
work, dad.
- I know, buddy.
I gotta help those that need it,
okay?
I'll be back.
- Why don't you just call in
sick tonight.
- Oh, you think they'd believe
me?
- Yeah.
You'd pull it off.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
- Okay.
- Get out of here.
- All right, I'm out.
- Dad, wait, policeman's
prayers.
- Oh, how could I forget?
- Of course.
- Okay.
[rousing music]
Lord, I ask for courage.
Courage to face and conquer my
own fears.
Courage to take me where
others will not go.
I ask for strength.
Strength of body to protect
others.
Strength of spirit to lead
others.
I ask for dedication.
Dedication to my job to do it
well.
Dedication to my
community to keep it safe.
Give me, Lord, concern for
all those who trust me.
And compassion for those who
need me.
And please, Lord, through
it all, be at my side.
Amen.
[Daryl snoring]
[can clatters]
[Daryl gasps]
- Well, Larry, I'm going to bed.
[Daryl groans]
[Larry sighs]
- Larry I have told you
to stop using my bathroom.
You stink it up!
You are--
You're worthless.
You're supposed to sell it, not
use it!
- Hey!
Go back in the house,
Denise, before I kill you.
- I have had it with you,
I am calling the cops.
And this time you are going to
jail.
I will be so glad to get rid
of your worthless, no good--
[thuds]
[Denise groans]
- That's the last time you
call the law on me, woman.
The last time!
- [Dispatcher] 911,
where's your emergency?
Hello?
911, where's your emergency?
Hello?
[thunder rumbling]
Hello, anyone there?
- I look over, Shep judo
chops this guy, right?
He hits the pavement,
I thought he was dead.
I mean, I thought he killed him.
- I know, he resisted.
- Resisted, what'd he sneeze?
- No, it's the soft-handed
technique, Sarge.
It's not my fault the pavement
was hard.
- Yeah, what about the big
dent on the front of your hood?
Same story?
- No, he tripped.
- Well there she is.
I was about to call search and
rescue.
- Why, you look like you're
just about to float away.
All right, club with fries,
a grilled chicken salad.
- Aw, the fat guy orders the
salad.
Hey, hey, endoscopy,
colonoscopy,
cholesterol, high
glycerides, low glycerides.
[sniffs food]
Keep it up big boy, your day's
coming.
- Well, where'd our cheeseburger
go?
He didn't get called out did he?
- He's probably in the bathroom
mirror
practicing his Dirty Harry pose.
- Does sound like him.
- All right, well, let me know
if you boys need anything else.
- Thank you, dear.
- Ah, that's a mistake.
- Oh, boy.
This is what happens.
- This didn't go well last time.
- No, it didn't.
- Shep, you ain't right!
You ain't right!
- I'm not.
- [Dispatcher] 2-0-6
copy a suspicious person
in Mill Haven Estates.
- Where was that?
- That was on four, they gave it
to six.
- 2-0-6 is en route.
- Sounds busy.
I was hoping for a slow night.
- You just had to go and say the
S word.
- Come on, Sarge.
- I know, I know.
Everything come out all right,
sunshine?
- [Shep] Did you remember to
wash your hands, young man?
- Of course.
[spits]
[men laughing]
Oh!
Really?
- [Shep] Hey, wash it down, wash
it down.
- Here, rook, drink some water.
Drink some water.
- The best.
- Down the hatch, good boy.
That better?
- [Dispatcher] 2-2-4 copy a 911
hang up.
- Never fails.
2-2-4, go ahead.
- 911, hang up, 150 Rosewood
Street.
No voice and no answer on call
back.
- Denise and Larry at it again.
2-2-4 and 2-2-8 en route.
- [Dispatcher] 10-4.
- Well, you can have my steak,
Sarge.
Just make sure you
finish your salad, first.
- Come to papa.
- Oh, that doesn't look good.
- Hope it doesn't rain.
- Really?
R word, R word, S word.
- See you guys later.
[thunder rumbling]
- Stupid woman.
[thunder cracks]
[phone buzzes]
- Hey, baby, nice photo.
- [laughs] I thought you might
like that.
I just wanted to call and say I
love you
before we go to bed.
- I love you.
I'm headed out on a call,
but tomorrow I was thinking
date night, you and me.
Maybe we can catch a movie or
something.
- Uh, if you're talking about
something
not animated for a change,
you are definitely on.
- Exactly.
Well, I love you, have a good
night, okay?
- Okay, hey, hey.
Hold on, Gabe wants to say
goodnight.
It's dad.
- Goodnight, dad, I love you.
- I love you, buddy.
Sleep well, okay?
- I will.
- All right, I'm gonna get him
to bed.
I'll see you soon, I love you
babe.
- Okay, I love you.
I'll be home soon.
- Goodnight.
- Bye.
2-2-4, headquarters, any luck
on getting ahold of that caller?
- [Dispatcher] Negative,
2-2-4, we're trying again.
[dramatic music]
- It's my steak dinner,
somebody's taking a ride.
- [Jacob] You know, I
think I'm finally starting
to figure this guy out.
Just an annoying, harmless
drunk.
- [Shep] How drunk do you gotta
to be.
- She has a pulse.
2-2-4, headquarters, roll
medical to our location.
Possible aggravated battery,
victim's unconscious.
I'll stay with her.
Keep your eyes peeled.
- Yep, he made it easy for us
this time.
- So much for harmless.
- [Man on radio] 2-0-6 will
be heading that way also.
- Want me to go ahead
and knock, or? No, no.
[Larry screaming]
[gun firing]
- Shots fired, shots fired!!
- Jake, you got eyes?
- I've been shot.
- 2-18, Headquarters, shots
fired, no eyes on shooter!
I repeat, no eyes on shooter!
- Came from the camper, Shep!
- [Colton] Jake's been hit!
- Jake, Jake, you all right?
- I don't have eyes!
2-2-4, headquarters,
officer down, officer down.
He's got to be in the camper.
Jake, crawl to me!
- I can't breathe!
I think I'm gonna die.
- You're not gonna die.
Crawl to me now!
- I can't feel my leg.
[gun fires]
- [exclaims] Golly!
- 2-2-4, headquarters, be
advised
armed suspect barricaded
inside the camper.
- [Dispatcher] 10-4,
2-80 is activating SWAT.
- Larry!
Larry, stop shooting!
- I can't get around the
camper, I don't have shot.
You have a shot?
- Don't have it.
- What are we gonna do?
- Shut up!
- Larry, stop this and come out
unarmed!
- I wasn't going back then,
and I ain't going back now!
You's gonna shoot me!
- God, I'm going to kill him.
[Jacob groaning]
- Let's get him out, okay?
Larry, is Daryl in there?
- [Daryl] Yeah, I'm in here.
- Just shut up and sit back
Daryl.
- [Daryl] I'm in here!
- [Colton] Daryl, come out!
- Big brother's gonna take care
of this.
- [Daryl] You're gonna
get us killed, Larry.
- Larry, you don't have
to die tonight, come on.
- Well I ain't going back to
jail.
- Larry, this is not worth it.
You've shot one cop, all right?
Let's end this.
- Ain't the first cop I shot.
That's right, you were there.
- Col, is he talking about
David?
[dramatic music]
- [David] Driver, step
out of the car for me.
- Hey, you seeing this?
- No, no, Colt, I'm not seeing
that.
I'm seeing we got 45
minutes left on shift.
My paperwork's done,
my evidence is logged.
And I see you really don't care.
- I don't.
- You wanna go after that.
- Let's get 'em.
- All right.
Well, you're gettin' the runner.
- No, I pulled something, man,
I think it's like my hammy.
- It's your stop, you
get the runner, rookie.
- We'll see.
[sirens blipping]
- It's the cops, man.
- [Larry] I ain't going
back to jail, boys.
- [Colton] Excuse me, sir.
Stop!
Stop where you are.
- [David] Driver, step
out of the car for me.
Gun!
[gun fires]
[gun firing]
[tires screeching]
- Larry, I do not want to kill
you.
Come outside right now.
- Hold on, don't shoot, I'm
comin' out!
I'm coming out, I'm unarmed!
- Come to me, get on the ground,
now!
On the ground now, crawl to me!
Get on the ground, move!
- Larry, come outside right now!
Be smart like Daryl here, come
on out!
- [Shep] Get down right now!
- All right!
You win!
Here I come boys.
- Drop the gun, Larry.
Larry, drop the gun.
- Oh, you coming' with me?
- Larry don't do it.
Don't, don't do it!
[gun fires]
[Larry groans]
Get down, get down, get down.
- Oh, God, please move, give
him space, give him space.
Colt, you all right, man?
[sirens approaching]
This is bad, this is bad.
Hold on, hold on.
No, it's fine, man, you got
this.
Cavalry's on the way, okay?
Cavalry's on the way.
Come on, we have an
officer down over here!
We're over here!
No, Colt, stay with me, come
on. No, no, no, stay with me!
Colt, you stay with me!
Don't you leave, come on!
Come on, get over here, guys!
Come on, come on, stay with me.
Stay with me, come on.
Breathe, breathe, man.
[solemn music]
Colt, Colt!
Someone get in there!
Guys, come on!
Come on, Colt.
- Hey, I'm the chaplain.
Somebody called me about
a deputy being shot.
- You're doing good buddy, hang
in there.
Come on buddy.
- Wait, wait, wait.
We're almost there.
- Colt, Colt!
- [Colton] Talk to Larry.
- What are we doing, come on!
- Talk to Larry?
- Get him in there.
- What about Larry?
- You get back, come on!
Get him in there, come on Colt!
Stay with me, stay with me!
Stay with me!
Come on, come on.
- [Gabe] Hurry, mom!
- Hi, hi, my husband Colton
Miller,
was brought in.
- Lauren, Lauren.
- Where's my dad?
- He's uh--
- Is he okay?
I mean, can we see him?
- Yeah, he'll be fine, he's
gonna be fine.
[gentle music]
[machine whooshing]
[ECG beeping]
- Morning, Pastor.
- Any changes?
- Nah, nothing, yet.
You would know he would wake up.
If this guy makes it and Colton
doesn't,
I might go in here and
finish him off myself.
- May I speak with him?
- I'm sorry, Pastor, we're not
letting anybody in right now.
He's got a slew of charges.
- Please, it's important.
Colton asked me to.
- Colton?
- Before he went into surgery.
- [sighs] I don't know, Pastor.
- It was Colton's request.
- All right, but just for a few
minutes.
- You ain't no doctor.
- No, I'm a Pastor.
- Well you're just wasting
your time here then.
- Colton didn't seem to think
so.
- Who's Colton?
- The deputy you shot.
The one lying a few doors down.
His name's Colton.
- I just knew him as boss.
Is he gonna make it?
- At this point, only God knows
that.
- How 'bout the other one, the
new guy?
- He's got a few cracked
ribs, some bruises.
But he's gonna live.
The doctors sent him home.
- Well, I wish the other one,
Colton?
Hadn't jumped in the way like
that.
He was just supposed to shoot
me.
- Why'd you want him to shoot
you?
- 'Cause I couldn't do it
myself.
I figured if I--
[groans]
What am I sayin'?
I was high.
He was just supposed to shoot
me,
so I could end this miserable
life.
- But he didn't.
- Well, the new guy sure did.
I guess Colton's just too
scared.
- No, that's where you're wrong.
In that moment Colton was
fearless.
He did what he did because
he cares about you.
[Larry scoffs]
- I don't think so, nobody cares
about me.
- When they were wheeling
him into surgery,
Colton said to make sure
that hell didn't get you.
Told me to tell you that
Jesus loves you, Denise, too.
- Now why would he say
something like that?
- Colton's a man of faith.
I honestly can't explain
why he did what he did.
I know it wasn't in his own
power.
At that moment, he was most
certainly moved by Jesus.
He could have shot you.
And by God's standards, he
would have been justified.
At least in my interpretation.
- Well, he should have.
I shot that deputy.
Killed his friend.
- And in return, he saved your
life.
Why'd you want to die Larry.
- Been worthless my whole life,
Pastor.
Just a worthless toke.
- No one's worthless, Larry.
- Well, I am, I ain't nothing.
Been drug using, cop killin',
alcoholic.
I ain't nothin'.
[gentle music]
- Some people might say so.
But Colton looked beyond that.
So does Jesus.
So do I.
You've certainly made mistakes.
There's no stain that the blood
of Christ can't wash away.
Right now, you can be made brand
new.
- Pastor.
I'm going to jail.
The only new beginning
for me is a life sentence.
- You're right.
You've done some horrible
things.
You're gonna be held
accountable.
The apostle Paul was jailed.
God used him to do some
wonderful
things while he was there.
You're going to a place where's
there's hundreds of people
that don't know the love of
Jesus.
God can use you while you're
there.
If you'll let him.
- I'm no preacher.
I'm no preacher.
- But you can be made brand new.
You can experience the
love, the forgiveness,
the compassion that
Jesus wants you to know.
The same love and forgiveness
and compassion that Colton
showed you
and risked his own life for.
Life's about second chances
and Colton showed you
great mercy and compassion
so that you could experience
that second chance.
Larry, don't you want
to be made brand new?
- I do.
- Heavenly Father.
God, I'm so thankful that you
care
about each and everyone of us.
Lord, that no matter what our
past,
you're willing to forgive
us if we'll just ask.
God, I pray right now for Larry.
[forlorn music]
[machine beeping]
- [Shep] Hey.
- [Lauren] I'm really glad
you're here.
- [Gabe] Hey.
- Yeah.
- See ya.
- Yeah, I'll be in there.
- Good morning, brother.
- Morning, Pastor.
- I'll make it.
- [Sarge] Pastor.
- [Gabe] Hey, Michael.
- [Michael] Hey, Gabe.
- Thank you so much for
everything.
- [Gabe] Thank you.
- Colton was such a special man.
- And a dad.
- Yes, he was.
Praying for you guys.
- Thanks, see you in there.
- Okay.
I'm truly sorry about Colton.
- Colton was a great man.
- Yes, he was.
- Guess you didn't pray
hard enough for him, huh?
I'm sorry.
I forgot.
You were too busy praying over
the dirt bag who killed him.
- I understand your
frustrations.
- Do you?
I lost two friends in one year
to that same piece of trash
you were so concerned about
in that hospital room.
They're always talking about
Jesus this and God that, so
where was he, Pastor?
His radio must not have been on
'cause he sure didn't show
up to save either one of 'em.
- He did save 'em, just
not in the way you wanted.
- God works in mysterious ways,
huh?
This may come as a shock to you,
Pastor.
I'm not here for you.
I'm here to fulfill a promise
that I made to one of those
friends.
[solemn music]
- Good morning.
Thank you for coming to church
today.
I had a message prepared,
but I can't get Colton off my
mind.
A few months ago, I came home
to the worst situation
a man can come home to.
There were police cars in my
driveway.
A criminal had broken into my
house
and taken my wife hostage.
An officer approached me,
placed his hand on my
shoulder and said, trust us.
Not an easy thing to do.
Those officers managed to
rescue my wife from harm.
I marvel how these men could be
so brave
in the face of such danger.
Later, I met that young officer
who placed his hand on my
shoulder.
His name was Deputy Colton
Miller.
I learned that Colton had
some demons, as we all do.
His faith had been shaken.
You see his friend and fellow
officer had been killed.
Shot in the line of duty.
He wondered how a God could
allow
something like that to happen.
Now we're gathered here again
today,
wondering the same thing.
I was there when they
wheeled him into surgery.
Just before they took him back
he asked me to express
his love for his family.
He also asked me to express
his love for his fellow man.
He even asked me to tell
the guy who shot him
that Jesus loves him.
Jesus was asked what the
greatest commandment was.
He said, to love the Lord
God with all your heart.
And the second was like it,
to love your neighbor as
yourself.
Colton not only believed that.
But his last step was to prove
that.
I later met the man who shot
Colton
in the intensive care unit.
I told him what Colton had
asked me to share with him.
I watched as this criminal, this
murderer,
asked the Lord to forgive him of
his sins.
Some of you may be bitter today.
But I recall what Jesus said:
"I am the good shepherd.
"And the good shepherd lays
down his life for his sheep."
That's exactly what Colton did.
And as I watched Colton's life,
as he became a man of faith,
a man, that was filled
with fearless faith,
as he trusted God and he
proved that he was willing
to do what others would not do.
Jesus said, "don't fear
them that can kill the body,
"but can't kill the soul.
"But rather fear him who can
destroy
"both the soul and body in
hell."
There are several police
officers here today.
No doubt you've heard the
verse, "Yea, though I walk
"through the valley of
the shadow of death,
"I will fear no evil."
But I wonder how many of you
have that kind of fearless
faith?
I wonder how many of you
can go to that next call,
that next briefing, and
that next bad situation,
knowing if things don't turn out
well,
that Jesus has laid claim to
your soul.
If you don't, I urge you to.
So would Colton.
Lord God,
I pray for your mercy
and compassion upon us.
Lord,
help us to have a faith that
Colton had.
Help us to have that fearless
faith.
Please bring comfort.
Our hearts are grieving
but we're trusting you.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
- Nice speech.
- It's not what I had planned.
Sometimes, God changes our
plans.
- Did Colton really say all
that?
- He did.
He said it.
He believed it.
Colton didn't want anyone
to perish, even his enemies.
But especially his friends.
Would you like me to pray with
you?
♪ You're no longer a slave
- [Michael] Dear Heavenly
Father.
Thank you for the life of
Colton.
Thank you for his fearless
faith.
I pray that you would help
us have that kind of faith.
