Deputy (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 12 - 10-8 Agency - full transcript

Previously onDeputy...

There's no more space
for men like you.

Not in this city, and certainly
not in this election.

People don't want a gunslinger
in this office.

Get out.

Today I announce my candidacy

for sheriff
of Los Angeles County.

MINNICK:
A deputy was shot yesterday.

I'm Luna's informant.

SOCIAL WORKER:
I am obligated to inform you

that Roberto and Camilla's
maternal grandmother



has filed for custody.

Oh, you have gotten so big!

Grandma said we're gonna see her
all the time now. Is that okay?

I can't let this happen.

- I'm not gonna.
- BILL: Hey, honey.

- PAULA [on phone]: There's a shooter.
- Where's the gunman?

You! Get off the phone, now!

BILL [on phone]: Paula!

I'm not exactly
a philosophical guy.

I take things as they are.

Once you start thinkin'
about how they oughta be,

well, that's
dangerous territory.

Especially for a lawman.

But then there's
the other side of it.



Accountability.

Now I've had plenty to say
about this department,

where it is now,
where it's headed.

But there's ten million people
in this county.

Maybe it's time
for them to speak.

Let the chips fall
where they may.

♪

[footsteps approaching]

PAULA: What?

You said you had
a handle on this.

- Paula.
- I know. I heard you.

I'm just tired and annoyed.

I haven't slept.

And I've tried everything,
I've tried therapy, meds...

exercise.

BILL: Honey.

You are one of the top
three surgeons in California.

Taking some time off
won't change that.

I appreciate you saying that.

That's not an option.
Not with all the drama

that I've just had
with the funding.

Okay.

I'm here if you need me.

[gasps]

[sighs]

[exhales]

So does everyone
get a beach shift

at the end of training
or only the best?

Only mine.

I came up with
the watch commander down here.

We have a little
exchange program.

You know, I think
you're gonna miss me.

Maybe we should head back
to Lennox so you can focus.

Maybe we should hit the beach
after our shift.

- You brought your bikini with you?
- You wish.

DISPATCHER [on radio]:
Attention units.

Oh. Eyes up, baby face.

DISPATCHER:
There's a 459 in progress,

1823 Franklin.

- 101-Adam responding.
- DISPATCH: Copy that.

Code in 3.

[siren wailing]

♪

JOSEPH: Yeah.

I could do this.

- Wow.
- Boot.

Yep, I'm comin'.

[alarm blaring]

[alarm continues]

Sheriff's Department!

Don't move!

- Hey!
- MINNICK: Stop!

- Stay down.
- MAN: I didn't do anything.

I was checking on Raymond.

I live in the backhouse.

You gotta help him.
He's hurt.

Hands behind your back, now.

Joseph!

- Boot!
- JOSEPH: Yo!

He's still breathing.
Call the ambulance.

101-Adam requesting 902R
to my location.

Male, adult, unconscious,
head injury.

DISPATCH:
Copy that.

[theme music playing]

Good morning, papi.

Morning, mija.

Mom, what did I say?

Your daughter is growing
and she needs to...

No. Cooking.

- Mags, you ready for today?
- Nope.

Good. Neither am I.
[chuckles]

There he is.
Man of the hour.

[sighs]
If you say so, Jorge.

- BILL: Morning.
- Good morning.

This is a good time to announce.

I trust your judgment.

JORGE: Incumbent always
has the advantage

in the sheriff's race.

Name recognition.

Technically, the incumbent died.

True.

You know, Bradford came to me.

- Few weeks before it happened.
- For what?

The Latino vote.

BILL:
And what did you tell him?

Learn Spanish.

I told him to open up.

Be accessible.

That's why I set up
this interview today.

But you're the expert.

I'm just curious what
you all might say about me.

Nothing we wouldn't say
to your face.

Speak for yourself.

[chuckles]

It's the LA Times.

Them having access to the
sitting sheriff and his family,

it's a big story.

They'll play nice.

And we have something
to humanize you

when we launch the campaign.

Didn't know I needed humanizing.

JORGE: You're larger
than life, Bill.

So we show 'em
your heart, your family.

And then, with your speech,
you show the people

that Bill Hollister
is an Angeleno,

through and through.

When they vote for you,

they are voting for themselves.

That's how we win.

Well, the speeches I don't mind.

It's the glad handing.

The gold digging.

I don't want anyone thinking
I owe them a favor.

[indistinct radio chatter]

All right, who are you?

Why were you in the house?

Corey Kemp.
I rent the guest house.

Hadn't seen Raymond in days.

His car didn't move.
I got worried.

Why didn't you just call us?

I don't know. I just...

I thought I should see
if he was in trouble first.

Anyone else come by the house
the last few days?

Any suspicious activity?

I heard him having a fight
with someone in the house

a couple days ago.

It was pretty heated.

With who?

I don't know who you think
you're protecting,

but I suggest you
watch your own ass.

Minnick,
I found the vic's cell phone.

Thirty-two missed calls
from Oliver.

That's his son.
You should talk to him.

Yeah, thank you.

Also, a bunch of texts
and missed calls from Becca.

I don't know who she is.

You said that real fast.

Go make yourselves useful.

You sure you don't know Becca?

That wasn't bad
for your first attempt.

I couldn't even stand up.

Well, neither could I
my first go.

Hey, come here.

Listen, it's not about
standing up

your first time on a board,

or even your second
or your third.

It's about feeling the waves,

getting to know the water
and understanding its power.

You call that water knowledge.

If you don't respect the ocean,
it'll take you down.

What's up, kiddo?

We don't wanna
live with grandma.

We wanna live with you.

Hey, listen.

Don't you guys
worry about that, okay?

Leave that to me and Teresa

'cause we're gonna fight
tooth and nail

to have you guys
keep living with us.

You wanna know why?

'Cause we're a family.

And nothing's gonna change that.

Nothing.

Bring it in.

♪

[elevator dings]

I thought I made myself
clear the last time.

RILEY: We need to talk.

You drop your
phony investigation yet?

Give me a reason.

I shouldn't have to.

I know you're announcing
your run for sheriff.

Are you sure
that's what you want?

Have you asked yourself
the same question?

Keep handing out deals
to corrupt cops

then try walking down
the street in South LA.

Or even getting a dinner
reservation on Bunker Hill.

I'd rather be effective
than popular.

Sorry, Carol.
That's my brand.

Phone wasn't password protected.

Hasn't made a call in two days.

Oh. [sighs]

Corey wouldn't be
stupid enough to do this

and hang around for two days,
then break in.

I don't know.

He doesn't exactly
seem like an intellectual.

Well, let's meet the kids.

WOMAN:
Can we make this quick?

We should be with our dad
at the hospital.

MINNICK:
I understand.

The more you tell us,
the quicker this goes.

What happened?

We think your father
was pushed down the stairs.

Becca.

- I knew it.
- OLIVER: Oh, come on.

She's a lot of things,
she's not a killer.

He's not dead yet.

Who's Becca?

He has missed calls
and texts from her.

His... girlfriend.

She just so happens to be
younger than both of us.

Did they fight a lot?

REAGAN:
I couldn't tell you.

I refused to visit
when she was there.

How long have
they been together?

OLIVER: Two years.

We tried to stage
an intervention,

- get Dad to end it.
- But what do we know?

We're only his flesh and blood.

We wanted to protect him
and his money.

Tenant out back said
he heard Raymond fighting

with a woman yesterday.

Corey? He's probably
spying on them.

Why do you say that?

[scoffs]
I mean... Come on.

He's a little off.

REAGAN:
It wouldn't be the first time.

You should definitely
talk to Becca.

Do you have an address?

Uh, all I know is that

she lives in an apartment
near the airport.

I'm sensing a little tension
between you and your father.

[scoffs]

We'll be in touch
in the next few days, okay?

Great.

The point of the story

is to put a human side
to Sheriff Hollister.

We wanna know
the man behind the badge.

The father. The husband.
The son-in-law.

Bill Hollister is real,
that's what you need to know.

He's the only person
we trust with our daughter.

Even after what happened
at the prison?

Your daughter was held hostage
because of the sheriff.

That's not even fair.

You can't blame Dad
for what bad people do.

Any implication that our lives

have been negatively affected
by Bill's choices

is completely dishonest.

We all make sacrifices.

That's what public service
is about.

That's why he's sheriff.
That's why he will stay sheriff.

JORGE: Would you like
some more coffee?

REPORTER: Yes, please.
Thank you.

[cell phone ringing]

JOSEPH: Hey.

Wow, that was fast, yeah.

Send it to me.
Okay.

What's up?

We're up on Becca's phone.

MINNICK: Oh, great.

I remember the first time
I took you to school.

Kindergarten.

I don't, thank God.

All the other kids
they were crying,

refusing to go in but not you.

You just gave me
a kiss on the cheek

and told me not to worry.

Ha.

And then I started crying.

You okay, Mom?

- Yeah, I'm fine.
- Really?

'Cause both abuelaand I
are worried about you.

There is nothing to worry about.

I thought we didn't lie
to each other.

I just can't get her face
out of my head.

Did you do
the breathing exercises?

Yeah, they're not
working anymore.

What did Dr. Hake say?

That I have to face my fears.

Well, you don't have to alone.

You've got me. And Dad.

Yeah, well, I don't have myself
right now and it pisses me off.

[sighs deeply]

I'm so proud of you.
I am.

You've been through so much
these past few months

and the way that
you've handled everything

it just really shows
the woman that you're becoming.

Yeah, it took me a minute
to understand

but I get it now.

I need Dad...

so does LA County.

I guess we're just gonna
have to learn to share.

MINNICK:
She still inside?

JOSEPH: Yeah.

MINNICK:
She's taking her time.

You would too if you had access
to that kinda cash.

Here we go.

[siren chirps]

Becca?

I paid for everything
this time, relax.

Uh, actually we're here
about Raymond.

- What about Raymond?
- There was an incident.

Wait, what are you
talking about?

BECCA: Raymond found me
at just the right time.

I'd been sleeping in my car,
doing what I could for money.

He never judged.

Seems like his kids might.

I get it.
I'm younger than them.

But that doesn't change
the way I feel about Ray.

If the same thing
happened to my dad,

I don't know what I'd do.

But not throw an intervention,
I know that.

Oh, you heard about that, huh?

There's nothing
Raymond doesn't tell me.

And I can't exactly be mad.

If they hadn't have done that,

we would've
never gotten married.

Wait, you're married?

In the living room
in our bathrobes.

Raymond made a few calls and
someone was over the same night.

But I thought you had
an apartment across town.

I... I do.

I'm not stupid.
I know what this looks like.

Young woman.
Older, rich man.

I demanded I keep my place
and we signed a prenup

'cause I never wanted anyone
questioning my intentions.

Did you get into an argument
with Raymond that afternoon?

No, that was Reagan.

His daughter?

Yeah, she found out
we were married

and she got pretty upset.

She didn't tell you?

No, it must have
slipped her mind.

[indistinct chatter]

CADE: What happened?

Jogger found the body
early this morning.

We're still canvassing,
but nothing yet.

Thank you, Deputy.

So what's up?
Why are we here?

When Homicide comes in,

I like to run it
through the system.

- Just in case.
- You do love your homework.

BISHOP: So did this guy.

He was a CI.

Is he one of ours?

Actually he was yours.

♪

All right.
You got my number.

Okay, thanks.

Well, nobody can tell me
when he went missing,

where he was living, nothin'.

Which means everything.

That many people clam up,
they know something,

that's for damn sure.

Well, who was he?

Jeffrey Williams.

Ran guns for Excise Seven
until his son got shot

seventeen times by a rival gang.

And then he turned informant.

You know I put a lot
of bad dudes behind bars

because of Jeffrey.

Back in my Pentagon days,

someone gets offed liked that,

they're an example
for everyone else

not to go rogue.

It's a tricky thing
about the path to redemption,

a lot of people won't let you
climb out of that gutter.

Where do we look first?

Oh, I got an idea,

but I'm gonna need
the sheriff's help first.

You all right?

Yeah.

Not gonna lie, this one
hurts a little bit,

but I got something
I need to handle

- on the personal side, too.
- [cell phone buzzing]

Oh, speaking of personal.

No.

Oh, come on, Bish,
give me the dish.

Fine.

Julie works with Dr. Reyes

and is helping me
find an apartment,

which is proving difficult
on a single deputy's salary.

Ooh, and maybe
she needs a roommate?

Hmm. This is me walking away.

- [chuckles]
- Hey!

Hey, Bill,
I have a favor to ask.

You need a trim?

MAN: Hey, Sheriff.
How you doin' today?

BILL: Thanks, guys.
Jacob?

Ol' Curtis.

Well, if it isn't the sheriff
of Los Angeles County.

You know Jeffrey Williams?

That's Bobby's boy.

Heard he caught a bad break.

- You know why?
- Word on the street is

he found a better deal
with the competition.

Management must not have been
too happy about that, huh?

No, sir.

They made it clear
he understood that.

Crystal.

Appreciate it.

MAYOR:
When you announcing?

Tomorrow actually.

It's about damn time.

Everyone keeps tellin' me
I gotta become a politician.

You know I can't do that.

You already are, Bill.

Just not the kind
they're used to.

Everyone's supposed
to be this or that.

Left or right.

You've never been
anything but Bill.

That's why you're gonna win.

Thanks for the confidence.

I'll see ya.

Yes, sir.

BILL: Cade.

You were right.

It was Williams' own people
who did that to him.

They were sendin' a message
not to play both sides.

[gunshots]

Interesting place for a meeting.

Well, I had already had
too much coffee today, so...

What's this about?

I saw you lurking around
my fundraiser.

What, you doing
some oppo research?

No, I like to think of myself
as an informed voter.

And I wanted to see

what a Carol Riley
administration might look like.

What'd you learn?

You've genuine concern
for the county

with an unparalleled
conviction rate.

Your peers respect you.

Some of them fear you.

The men do.

I did some research on you, too.

Army intelligence.
Time at the pentagon.

Some private contracting.

And you did the whole
whistleblower thing before it was cool.

Some pretty thorough research.

It's what I do.

Sheriff Hollister isn't like
the men you so clearly resent.

His character is what
serves him best in this job

and now that you know
my history,

you'll know I like an insurgent.

I don't need your vote, Bishop,

but after I win,

I do hope I can
earn your respect.

♪

If you win.

[door opens]

Deputy Ward.
What are you doing here?

Are the children okay?

Oh, they're fine.

They're better than fine.
That's...

why I came here to talk, Carmen.

I wanna keep my kids.

Well, I'm sure
this can't be easy,

but the children
belong with family.

Exactly.
As far as me and my wife

and the kids are concerned,
we are family.

The law disagrees.

Look, can't we work out
some sort of compromise here?

Where Camilla and Roberto
can keep the stable home

that Teresa and I
created for 'em

and still have you
a big part of their lives?

Look, I was in the system
and bouncing between homes

isn't good
for their development.

This is a stable home.

And with the money
that the state

is going to give me
for keeping the kids...

These kids aren't a paycheck!

Let me remind you, you were MIA
when they needed you most.

Oh, you mean when
you killed their father?

What kind of a grandmother
would I be

if I allowed those kids
to stay with a murderer?

You know how long it took us
to gain their trust...

and make them feel safe again?

I need to protect them.

I get that you're trying to be
a white knight, Mr. Ward.

I just wish people like you
would stop coming around

thinking that brown folks
need you to save them.

CADE: Race has
nothing to do with this!

I love those kids and I'm gonna
keep fighting for 'em.

Can you say the same?

Well, you will lose that fight
when I call DCFS.

Do you raise your voice
to the children

the way you do with me?

Now get the hell out of here

before I call the police, too.

[knocks on door]

I was serious, Riley.

I'll have you escorted back
down to the eighth floor.

Not a good look.

I'm just wrapping up
my investigation.

This is a courtesy call.

Oh, I doubt that.

If I pass the case along
to Justice Integrity Division,

there will be indictments.

Yourself and Deputy Harris
amongst them.

I told you once
about threatening my godson.

Or... you reconsider
your announcement.

I believe your kind
refer to that as extortion.

Ah, semantics.
If you're not sheriff,

then you're not a threat
to the system.

So, really,
I'm saving taxpayer money.

I thought you'd appreciate that.

See you on the news, Bill.

Hey, babe.

[sighs]
I think I just blew it.

Big time.

Call me back, would ya?

I need you back home.

Damn it!

♪

Best thing on the menu
is the tongue.

Deputy Minnick.

Levon.

You good?
You look a little jumpy.

I'm actually thinking
about leaving town.

Who are you runnin' from now?

It's not even like that.

It's time to find
a different life.

Where are you headed?

- I...
- Actually, I don't wanna know.

Look...

thank you for keeping me on
after Luna went.

You didn't have to do that.

Yeah, I did.

You helped me
close his last case.

I know that would have
meant a lot to him.

[cell phone chimes]

Look, I gotta roll, but...

I just wanted to say goodbye.

Take care of yourself.

You, too, Levon.

- Cade. Hey. Can I get your help?
- Yeah, shoot.

BISHOP: All right.
Minnick, Harris, and Carter

are working a case in Malibu,
we got two suspects on.

A daughter who lied about
an altercation with the vic,

and a new wife half his age.

- Rule one...
- Follow the money.

I know, but the wife
signed a prenup

and the kids are already
executors on the estate.

It just doesn't seem
motive enough.

You got paper to run financials?

- Yeah.
- All right, don't worry about motive

track what's going where.
There's always a trail.

And filter out the small stuff.

BISHOP: That's interesting.

CADE: What?

The wife has been wiring funds

to a joint account,
but the husband is not

the joint account holder.

Who is?

My guess is the person
who attacked Raymond Corrigan.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- What's going on?
- That was Bishop.

They dug into
Becca's financials.

Let me guess.
She spent it all.

No. Most of it's being
funneled into a different account.

Last transfer
was a few hours ago

to some shell company.

That seems a little too
high level for her, right?

JOSEPH: Hmm.

- [beeps]
- She's back at the house.

Just got word from the hospital.

Raymond passed.

CARTER: What,
so Homicide's just gonna step in

and snake our arrest now?

JOSEPH:
Not if we can get there first.

I'll change.
We can head back out.

Why? You look nice.

Looking nice
isn't part of the job.

And also... I know.

- Don't say it. Not a word.
- Do I look nice?

You're coming with me.

LONDON: Is he in?

You can't go in there.

LONDON: Your posse just
can't help themselves, can they?

Homicide specifically
told Deputy Minnick

they were taking over
the investigation.

And yet she continued
to work on the case.

With assistance
from Major Crimes.

My deputies only worked the case
till Homicide showed up.

They were late,
so we got a jump on things.

Otherwise the case
wouldn't have been solved.

Results don't justify
means, Bill.

Don't they?
You something, Jerry?

I've been doing
a lot of thinking lately.

What it is that I stand for,

what I'm trying to accomplish
in this department,

and the same answer
keeps popping up.

What's that?

I'm here to serve.

170 years of
experience and tradition

led to the policies
and procedures

that you undermine
on a daily whim.

Why is your judgment so superior
to those who came before you?

Why can't you stay in your lane?

For the sake of the department?

For those that'll sit in
your chair after you're gone?

Guys like you, you mean.

You know, believe it or not,
Bill, no, not guys like me.

While you were content to work
the streets your whole career

with no ambition
of higher office,

I was doing my homework,

learning on the tenth floor,
studying for the job.

Protocol is the backbone
of this department, Bill.

Deep down, you know that.

I'm announcing today.

I'd like you to be there.

Why would I do that?

Because I asked.

So?

Just got off with Homicide.

Oliver confessed.

What, to everything?

He and Becca had been
sleeping together for months.

Once he found out that he got
cut out of his dad's will,

he convinced her
to marry the old man.

Share the money.
They did it together.

Well, it's time for me
to celebrate with the boys.

It's 11:00 a.m.

Yeah. I've been up
for 36 hours.

So it's midnight
as far as I'm concerned.

You wanna come?

MINNICK:
After he finishes his paperwork.

And don't think
I don't know it was you

who convinced him
to pass off his reports

to Deputy Adams, Carter.

He needs to learn the right way
before he learns the shortcuts.

- Understood.
- MINNICK: Hmm.

I will see you soon.

I get it.
You don't like Carter.

I don't give a damn
about Carter.

Don't take this the wrong way,

but you have an opportunity

to be one of the best
this department has to offer.

I'm rooting for you,

but if you get wrapped up
with the wrong crowd,

you're gonna forget
how special you really are.

I'm hearing a couple
of things from that.

One, you think I'm very special,
which I appreciate.

[sighs] Okay, here you go
running your mouth again.

Two, there's no wrong way
to take it

because the fact that you are
thinking about me so much

is all that really matters.

Okay, I'm done.

Wait, am I close?

I'm in the ballpark, right?

Carol.
Close the door, please.

A woman always
loves to hear that.

I have information
that can hurt Bill.

- What are you waiting for?
- What are you offering?

Oh, so this is a trade?

No.

I want you to concede the race.

Serve in my administration.

What do you have on him?

- Do we have a deal?
- Let me get this straight.

You have information

that'll sink
Hollister's campaign,

clearing the path
for my election.

And you want me to concede?

Then, and only then
will I release it.

Wow.

Too bad, Jerry.

I am so curious now.

BISHOP: Really? I like
the one with the pool view.

Might make me forget
I'm in the valley.

OFFICER:
Deputy Bishop?

Here are those files from
the coroner you requested.

Thank you. Great.
Hey, I gotta go.

Yep.

Hi, is this Deputy Friedman?

This is Bishop
from Major Crimes.

Wondering if you can
help me out.

Nicholas Phillips,
did you know him?

Had Phoenix tags on his arms?

Yeah, I'm looking at
the coroner report right now.

I was wondering if you could tell
me whether he was one of ours.

An informant, yeah.

That's what I thought.

No, I know.

It looks like they did it
to make an example of him.

I will, thank you.

[gate buzzes]

I have some things
I need to say.

- And you're going to listen.
- ROSE: Is that right?

I'm all ears.

You're never gonna
see David again.

Was it worth that?

ROSE:
I didn't have a choice.

Sure you did.

No one else was gonna save him.

I would have found a way.

But you took that
power away from me

when you broke into the prison.

And since then, I just...

[sighs]

I've been letting you
hold onto some of my power.

Is that right?

Yeah, that's right.

But not anymore.

'Cause I know what I'm made of

and I am not gonna let
you affect my life anymore.

This all started
because you lost faith.

Here comes the God speech.

That's not the kind of faith
I'm talking about.

I'm talking about
faith in people.

If I can save someone,
I'm gonna do it.

I don't care who they are
or what they've done.

And my husband
lives by the same code.

Until you crossed the line.

And that's the choice
that you made.

Are you finished?

I am not afraid anymore.

Now I'm finished.

Weird guy out back,

Who can blame him for

Shot for the road?

No. Man, how do you
function tomorrow?

Practice and consistency.

Let's go.

CARTER:
Whoa. Watch yourself.

Hey. What'd you say to me?

I said why don't you
watch yourself?

Hey, hey, hey. Chill out.

Control your boy, man.

- What?
- JOSEPH: Hey, hey!

[groans]

Hey, get off of him, man.

Carter, Carter, come on, bro.

Carter!

Carter, Carter,
Carter, Carter, stop.

Hey! Enough!
Carter, let's go.

What the hell, man?

What the hell is Joseph
doing here anyway at this time?

Someone start talkin'.

This is on me, Sheriff.

This guy, he bumped into me...

BILL: The guy they just
took to the hospital?

Yeah.
And we had words,

Harris stepped in,
he-he deescalated by the book.

And then this guy just
started yelling at my boy.

Yelling what?

Just...

Racial stuff.

Slurs, sir.

And, uh, I just lost it.

I'm sure he's gonna
claim assault.

And-and I'm sorry,

but I'm always gonna
have my boy's back.

That how you recall things?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's pretty much
how it went down.

Put 'em in the tank

a better explanation.

You made it, Dad.

Hey.

I figured you needed
another Hollister man

here to witness this circus.

Don't get too sentimental.

Remember something for me.

This moment, all these cameras,

doesn't mean anything.

What you do with it,
that's what matters.

- I'm proud of you, son.
- Thanks, Dad.

- You good?
- I got closure.

- And now it's up to me.
- I know you can handle it.

- Thanks for coming.
- Of course.

- Jorge.
- You got this.

Go get 'em, Dad.

- I love you.
- I love you, too.

Here we go.

I shouldn't be standing here.

Came down to some bad luck,

and a single line
on a 170-year-old document.

We're all expected
to have faith in the system.

Well, nothing I've witnessed
over the past 108 days

has made me a believer.

Hypocrisy, corruption, fear.

That's the system.

That's not who we are.

That's not what it means
to pin this star to your chest.

What it means...

is that against all odds
I have the power

to change this world
for the better.

And with that power
comes grave responsibility.

The Hall of Justice,

it belongs to the people
of Los Angeles.

And the brave men and women
who put on this uniform every day,

prepared to make
the ultimate sacrifice.

That's who I serve.

And that's who I want
standing beside me.

The ones who hold the line.

And the ones we've lost
along the way.

My name is Bill Hollister.

I'm the sheriff
of Los Angeles County.

And I aim to keep this job.

But that...

that'll be up to you.

[cameras clicking]

- Thank you.
- [applause]

Hey, you headed down
to, uh, Bill's thing?

Wanted to,
but take a look at this.

I just ID'd another informant.

This one was found hanging
from a flagpole.

Are you telling me this is
connected to Williams' death?

It's hell of a coincidence
if it isn't.

BILL:

Two dead in two days.

They're all informants
