Hey. Get up.

We gotta go. Come on.

- No, no, no.

- Get up.
- No! No!

Uhh!

Mmm! Hot.



Our top story this morning:
gunshots rang out late last night

near Monument Park as police
gunned down a telekinetic man

during an attempted robbery.

Channel 7 has obtained footage
from the incident,

but viewers need to be warned.

It is quite graphic.

Freeze! Put your hands in the air!

This marks the fifth deadly incident

in less than a month between police
and people with power.

Good.

It's hot as hell out here, man.

I almost hope nobody shows up.

That'd be refreshing.

Oh... delicious.



Here we go!

Lot of guys today, man.

Don't worry about it. I'll get us in.
Hey, Joe! Joe, over here, man.

Hey! Get behind the brawn.

Yeah, okay.

What we got?
What do we got here?

Uh, Class 2 Brawn.

Class 2?

Yeah.

Prove it.

Hey-hey! Hey!

Come on, man!

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

Okay. You're in.

What about you?

Certified electrician.

You special or not?

You need an electrician or not?
You're lucky my guy called in sick.

Okay. You and you, let's go!

Man, what are you talking about?

Buddy, I'm so broke, I'll lift rocks,

I'll pick up a car,

I'll carry your grandma.

I don't care.

Whatever, it's too hot out, man.
You don't want to work.

I said almost.
Almost don't want to work.

Hey!

It's short.

No it ain't.

We agreed to a hundred.
That's a full day.

You guys only worked six.

You serious, man?

That's the rate.

You don't like it,
I'll find some others that do.
You're lucky I picked you up
in the first place.

You need to pay us
what you owe us.
Or what?

I think we should just forget
about this guy, yeah?

Let's just get out of here.

This is bullshit.

Fucking special.

Okay.

Oh shit!

Call it even!

You wait, cocksucker!

I'ma catch you!

The fuck!

Delta 109.

109, go ahead.

Got report of a smashed windshield
at 2745 Westmount.

Two specials
last seen running eastbound.

One Class 2 brawn,
the other unknown.

1078's cleared for deployment
on contact.

Possible Code 8.

Solid copy.
109 on the way.

You couldn't have waited
until we were dropped off

to smash that window?

Yeah, yeah. Sorry, man.

I'm so sick of this shit every day.

And for a couple bucks,
it's barely worth it.

I could set you up with my cousin.

Always looking for guys,
especially with your skills.

Nah, hitting homes ain't a job.

Call it what you want,
but it's a paycheck.

Unlike you, I gotta spend
to keep this face pretty.

Yeah, you're overspending, Freddie.

Suspects spotted at 144 Liberty.

Confirmed, Class 2 brawn.

One unidentified, no criminal record.

Copy that.

You are authorized to...

This is the police.

Stop where you are,

and do not move!

We will approach you.

What the fuck is this?

Don't--don't move. Don't move.

1078s deployed and in positions.

Scene secure.

Good job, 109.

10-alpha-20?

10-alpha-20, go ahead.

You are clear to approach.

Copy that.

Approaching two suspects
at 144 Liberty.

What are these clowns doing
way out here?

Going where the job takes them.

Same shit we're doing.

Don't think so.

Let me see your hands, please.

Put your hands in the air, now!

Turn around.

You have any weapons on you?

No.

Long way from home,
ain't it, fellas?

What are you talking about?

We live right up the street.

Yeah, right.

That's a real fucking funny joke
to you, huh?

Hey, watch your mouth!

Easy.

They're clean.

We got a report of a vandalized truck
on Westmount.
I'm guessing you two don't know
anything about that, right?

You're right, we don't know anything
about that.

Just two guys taking a nice stroll
around the neighborhood.

In steel toes.
Steel toes.

You got something you wanna say?

Yeah, I got plenty I wanna say.

Say it.

Yeah?

Freddie.
Look, man, we're just trying to get home.

I understand that.

Guy stiffed us, okay?

Now it's settled.

You know, it's a felony
to use your power

to settle fights.

I didn't use my power.

But you smashed that window.

And a smashed window's nothing
to what we deal with

every fucking day.

All right, you didn't use your power.

You still broke the law.
I have to take you in.

Wait, you're arresting me?

No, that's bullshit!

Get the fuck back!

Turn around and put your hands
behind your back.

No, no, I'm not going anywhere.

Face the other way--

What the fuck are you doing?

Get the fuck off him!

Get off me!
- Wait!
- Stop fighting! Stop!

Hey!

Stop fucking moving,
motherfucker, settle down!

I'm gonna fuck you up!

Shots fired! Shots fired!

Are you okay?
You're gonna be okay!

Hey, call an ambulance, man!
Phone it in!

Need EMS to 1-4-4 Liberty!

No, no, no! Stay down! Stay down.

Just--just--shit.
Get down on the ground with
your hands behind your head.

If you do not comply,
you will be shot.

1078s ROB is set to aggressive.

You're all right, just--just...

Fuck. Fuck.
