[ dramatic music plays ]

Pilot: Okay, guys,
I got your suspect.

He's gonna be on top
of the tanks here.

Okay, he's up and running.
He's up and running southbound.

Units on the east side,
give me a perimeter.

Start to get the perimeter.
Surround the tanks.

On every side of that tank
and wait for him to come down.

Oh, he's pointing
a gun at us.

He's shooting at us!
He's shooting at us!

We're taking rounds, partner.
We're taking rounds.

All right,
give me some altitude.



He's firing at us.

Everyone all right?
Everyone good?

Yeah.
All right.

[ alarm blaring ]
oh, shit.

We got hit in the --
we got hit in the fuel tank.

I-I smell fuel. I'm thinking
we got hit in the fuel cell.

I got gas
on my foot.

Fuel's raining.
Patrol, officer needs help.

We're putting this thing in.

Most cops manage to stay sane

Despite the chaos
all around them.

But in their hearts, they know
everyone has a breaking point.

[ bird squawks ]

[ bird squawks ]



Laurie: How's that new pillow
work for you?

Great.
Slept like a rock.

Yeah?

Laurie: Hey, listen,
about the painters.

Oh, they can paint
in there.

It's okay.
I'm, uh...

I'm gonna be moving back home
tomorrow.

John.

Look, you know
what dr. Steward said.

I think I know myself better
than the shrink, all right?

You've been amazing.

Above and beyond.

But I'm ready
to go it alone and...

You won't have to lock up the
knives in the kitchen anymore.

Oh, come on.

Look at me.

It's okay.

[ scoffs ]

Listen,
have a good day, okay?

Go outside and go for a walk
or something.

It's beautiful out.

I will. You too.

[ door closes ]

[ chuckles ]

He was right.
There was really
no other reason.

I just need
a little bit of help.

[ laughs ]
it's all right.

Morning. Thought I'd
bring you a coffee.

Jesus.
Oh.

What are you doing?
I'm brooke,
by the way,

The girl he stopped seeing
so he could just [bleep] you.

Okay, all right.
What's your problem,
you psycho bitch?

How the hell
did you know where I live, huh?

Brooke, brooke, brooke.
Well, I put an app
on his phone.

Come on.
Don't be mad at me.

I did it for you.

I came by so I can warn you.
Don't [bleep] touch me!

Hey!
What the --
what the [bleep]

Hey!
No!

No, I came here
for you!

Oh, for me?
He's gonna [bleep] use --

Thanks a lot!
Hey, come on!

Now leave us alone!
Get rid of her.

You crazy [bleep]

Doesn't belong to you!
[bleep] [bleep]

Hey, hey!
You got to let go!

Just go!
Leave us alone!

Shit!

Okay, all right.

I hope you go have some
[bleep] demon babies.

Get some help.
Go [bleep] die.

I'm fine.
Go!

[bleep] you!

He was fine when we woke up
this morning.

I had any idea that he was sick,
I would not have taken him out.

Russell:
No, fresh air is good.

Did you take him
to the park?

Um, no, the cooper/lucero
crime scene.

I had to see for myself.

Maybe for his birthday,

You could take him
to the dahmer house?

Russ, I feel bad enough
as it is, okay?

[ chuckles ]

All right, so, you have
baby motrin here on the side,

Extra diapers in the bag,
wipes in the bag.

Cool. Yeah, I got it.
I can figure it out.

Are you sure?

Go catch bad guys.

All right.
I know you got it.

Thanks, russ.

See you later.

Hill:
So, unfortunately, nothing new.

We got phillip, cody.

Those are still the first names
of the suspects

That r.H.D. Is working with.

We got their truck.

License number is 1,
edward, 49901.

So, we're still
on modified tac alert,

Us and midtown bureau,

Which means
you're gonna be seeing brass

And detectives in uniform,
uh, until further notice.

Now, um,
r.H.D. Wants you --

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait. That's it? After 18 days?

You got to make this
an "us or them"?

I mean, who -- seriously,
who's that gonna help, dewey?

Sarge, come on, man.
This is bullshit.

Coop already said that
he had to give up his pin number

To these little pricks.

You think they didn't go try
to get some money out?

Where the [bleep]
are the atm photos?

And why is r.H.D.
Sitting on that shit?

I don't have an answer for that,
dewey.

I --

[ clears throat ]
hey, john.

John: Sarge.

I thought it was, uh,
your day off, no?

It was.

I guess rabinkski needed a break
from humping the pine to detox,

You know,
from all the stress.

We swapped days.

Okay, great.
That's good.

Uh, have a seat.
We just, um...

Yeah, we're just saying we got,
uh -- just talking --

We got new citation books,
so, uh,

Make sure
you trade your old ones in

At the kit room,
all right?

And then some of you
aren't getting your supervisors

To sign your log
at the end of watch,

So make sure
you take care of that, okay?

Uh, that's it.
We got any questions?

All right, good.
Roll out and, uh...

Yeah, roll out.

So, this hippie lady --
fran o'brien --

She wasn't sure the guy she sold
her truck to was named cody?

Yeah, like it says
in our report.

Well, uh, what gave you
that feeling,

I mean, other than
her saying so?

What you want?
A percentage?

57%, yeah.
No, 67%.

We're just trying
to get a sense here.

Look, let's just
cut to the meat here.

We know the suspects
had their wallets.

They had to use their credit
cards or something at some time.

Did you guys
get any hits?

Nothing...
Credible at this time.

What? What?

Wh-what -- I mean,
what does that even mean?

Did you or did you not
get a hit, man?

It means that we're not
at liberty to say.

Okay.
How about dna?

We hear the suspects
cut their own hair.

There had to be clippings
everywhere.

Where'd you hear that?

Now you -- now you gonna answer
her question with a question?

This -- this is us
sharing information?

Hey, listen, guys,
we're on the same team.

We just don't want you
chasing ghosts.

You ain't
on my team.

Now, when our intel
is credible,

We'll pass it down
to the divisions.

We'll keep you apprised.

Ganson: Next.

I talked
to my buddy matt.

He's on the team
working my break-in.

What'd he say?

Well, he said
that strokeface

Was actually
at a strip club that night.

They got him
on video.

Asshole wasn't lying.

Doesn't mean
he didn't call it in.

I mean, he could have gotten
one of his poo-butts to do it.

When he was alive
and I was gunning for him,

You try
to cool me off.

Now he's dead.
You think he ordered it.

Hey, I was trying to keep you
from doing something stupid.

Considering
he got shish-kebabbed,

Maybe I had a point?
[ laughs ]

Matt also said that
there was a couple in their car

Making out that night.

They saw
a crappy green civic

With a red hood
burning rubber down the street

Away from my house.

We'll keep
our eyes peeled.

We sure as hell will
keep our eyes peeled.

I'm doing that ride-along
with the airship.

Thanks for
letting me know.

You know, partners are
supposed to share shit.

Come on.
It's a half a day.

I thought you'd like
going all lone wolf.

[ car door closes ]

Mine's great. It's like hay
you just ordered wrong.Y acid.

What's with the health kick,
anyway, huh?

[ laughs ]

Get out -- are you [bleep]
the gang detective?

I just want to give her the
washboard abs she deserves, man.

And trust me --
she's been earning them.

[ laughs ]
ah!

No.

No.
There's no red hood.

From langer's, man --
number 19.

Beats those crap places
around here.

I got lunch plans.

Keep it anyway.

They mean well,
okay?

It's just -- well,
it's a tough situation.

Past 2 1/2 weeks,
I have had these book-smart,

Street-stupid b.S.S. Experts
telling me

How I'm supposed to feel
before I go back on the streets.

And now I got this --
what?

This -- this peer counseling
bullshit?

I mean,
half the time,

These guys won't even
look me in the eye,

And the rest of the time,
it's, "oh, hey, hey, coop.

"how about a group hug?

Hey, buddy, can we, uh,
help you wash your dick?"

I'll get them
off your back.

When do I
get to carry again?

This rubber-gun squad
is like salt in the wound.

I mean, come on.

These numb-nuts know
I have five guns at home, right?

I can eat one there
just as easily as here.

I'd keep that out of your
next therapy session, huh?

Terry...
I'm okay, all right?

You know me.

Just get me
back out there.

It's above
my pay grade, john.

You got them
to sign off on you.

I had
a partner get killed.

You had a son.

A son, terry,
and somehow,

You're not chained to your desk,
and your holster's not empty.

My situation
is my situation.

How I handled it
is my business.

Yours is
out of my hands.

We clear?

Face the wall.

Spread your legs.

Just gonna see
your ink here.

Hey, man,
what the hell?

Open your hand.

Oh, man, what the hell?
Ow! Man. What's up, man?

Did you break into
my house?
What?

Take this,
scare the shit out of my kid?

Hell no, man.
What you talking about?

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa!

I didn't
take nothing, man.

Hey, this is my stop.
This is my guy.

I didn't steal shit.
Just relax.

This is my dad's [bleep] ring
from playing in the rose bowl.

This [bleep]sucker
stole it!

Hey, hey! Hold it!
All right, all right.

[bleep]
all right, all right,
all right.

I bought that thing, man.
Bullshit!

No, man.
Bullshit!

I bought it from some guy
at a club, all right?

He was selling shit.
I came up.

Who?
What is his name?

I don't know. Man, somebody
called him chris or something.

No, his street name.
What's his [bleep] street name?

I don't know all that,
all right?

This asshole's
coming with us.

All right.
I won't touch him.

Okay, okay.
Just bring him.

[ beep ]

Hey.
Hi.

I'm sorry we couldn't talk
at the funeral.

I was --
no, I understand.

I understand.

I-I wanted you to know
I don't blame you for anything.

I know you did
the best you could.

Um...

I heard you and hank,
the night before, went to a bar.

A gay bar.

Is that true?
Yes.

So hank was gay?

He was pretty clear
he wasn't.

It would explain a lot --

Why we grew apart...

How he was sometimes.

So please, you don't have
to keep his secret.

If you -- if you were lovers,
just say --

No. No.

We weren't.

Asshole could still
be lying.

Really?

With a 211 warrant
on him?

He had every reason
to spill.

Plus,
he did not flinch

When they asked him
about the green-and-red civic.

Oh, and I got
the gang detectives

Running, uh, chris
through their system,

Every spelling,
even with a "q."

I wouldn't put it past
these fools.

If, um, anything
jumps out at them

And they can't reach me
while I'm in the air,

I told them
to give you a call.

No worries.
I got you.

Keep a hard-on
for that car.

Yeah.
You know what?

I'm gonna find it,
all right?

All right.
You got your sea-sick bands?

I don't need them.

Iron stomach.

How's it going?

Man:
Good, man, good.

The minute he called me
with this,

I knew we had
to get you guys involved.

Lydia: Hey.

Hey, lydia,
how you doing, kid?

I'm good. You?
I'm doing all right.

What's up?

He's my partner,
chuck.

It's cool.

Munoz: [ clears throat ]
all right. Lookit.

I got this piece-of-shit
mid-level dope dealer
by the name of jyreese.

He goes and brings me a gun
today.

Now, he got this gun
from a couple of tweakers

He deals with all the time
in exchange for some dope.

Come on, man.
Let's just show her.

It's a beretta 92fs.
Police issue.

We ran
the serial numbers.

That's hank lucero's gun.

[ sighs ]

We bring this to r.H.D.
And they mess it up,

We'll never
forgive ourselves.

Grab up jyreese.

Thank you.
Wrap that up.

Let's roll.

You knowdirty,
what cop killers get, huh?

Stop!

I wouldn't waste a bullet
on your ass, bitch!

Stop! Stop!
Do this.

I ain't do shit!
[ engine revs ]

I ain't do shit!
You lying bitch!

Lydia: Yeah, yeah. You know
that gun you gave bear?

It's a cop's gun --
a dead cop's gun.

No! Like I told him,
I got it from this tweaker.

Yeah, what's his name?
I don't know!

Dewey: You're full of shit!
Let me go!

Lydia: You know what?
Bear doesn't want this
type of heat on him.

We might as well
just make you road kill.
Ruben: You're a lying
mother[bleep] huh?

Stop!
You are going to hell.

Stop! Look, they two
crazy-ass tweakers.

They buying from me
all the time, okay?

I'll take you
to them.

Hey, sam, are you sure you want
to stick around boyle heights?

I could take you up
to sly stallone's house.

One of the pilots told me
that they got women

Swimming around naked
in the swimming pool.

No, I'm good.

What'd you say
we're looking for again?

Crappy green civic
with a red hood.

All right.

[ tires squeal ]

Adam 36.
I need an o.P.G. At my location.

Got to impound a car.

Glad you finally succumbed
to the allure of my pimp mobile.

Lydia: Is that
how you got angela?

Oh, yeah. Back seat --
whole lot of stories.

[ laughs ]

W30,
we have a possible.

Here they go.
Here they go.

[ brakes squeal ]

I got two phones, dude,
and I got a gps.

Yo, no. Cash.
I told you cash.

I'm gonna
bring you cash.

I will, dude.
I'm just --

Cody: Get back
in the car.

Lydia: Go. Go, go,
go, go, go, go. Williams 40.

We're in pursuit
of a green toyota rav4,

No plate,
headed southwest on repetto.

Get out
of the [bleep] car!

Get out of the car!
Son of a bitch!

This is as fast
as this thing goes?

We got it. We got it.
Here we go.

[ tires screech ]

Shoot. Clear, clear,
clear, clear.

[ engine revs ]

[ gunshot ]

Oh!
Shit!

[ tires screech ]

What's he doing?

What's he doing?

Whoa! Watch out,
watch out, watch out!

Oh!

[bleep]

Oh, damn.

He used to kiss barb.
[ laughs ]

I almost
decked him once.

He was a character.
Dig in. Come on.

You know, I'm --
I'm working the desk.

I'm not really
that hungry.

Well, I shouldn't be,
but...Shit,

Now that I'm off the sauce, I've
been eating like a racehorse.

You stopped drinking?
Yeah.

The night
you went missing.

Wound up driving around all
night listening to the scanner.

I even hooked up
with danny choi.

You remember him?
Yeah.

Fat now.
[ laughs ]

Shit.

Anyway, he gave me a ride
to help out on the hunt,

And I vowed
that if you were found alive,

I'd clean up.

It's been 18 days.
Shit.

I'm, uh,
glad I could help out.

Yeah.
[ chuckles ]

New lease on life,
huh?

For both of us.
[ laughs ]

Yeah.
It's funny in a way.

So, you, uh --
you're all good now, huh?

I mean, you always were
a tough son of a bitch.

Yeah.

I'll take some credit for that,
thank you very much.

[ chuckles ]
yeah, I'm fine.

Listen,
I got to ask.

Some of the boys and I
were talking.

Why the hell
did you give up your guns?

I mean, after that [bleep] up
thing back in the '60s

And all the hoopla there was
about that --

If I taught you anything, it's
you don't give up your guns.

Come on, man.

Hey,
I'm just talking here.

There's no need
to leave.

John.
Johnny, come on.

Well, is --
is that one of them?

Who said that?
Lydia: You did.

We're detectives, too,
remember?

What I want to know is how you
have a picture of the suspect.

We had an atm photo
from when he, uh,

Tried to use
their bank cards.

That might have been nice to
have before we rolled up on him.

And what about patrol?

You have them
pull these guys over

For a busted taillight and not
know that they have cop killers?

Hey, hey, hey.

You got a problem,

You take it up with
captain mullen, all right?

Meantime,
you mind telling me

How, uh, major asshole winds up
hamburgered in your suspension?

Ruben: Uh, we got
a few anonymous tips.

Uh,
the first one --

That there's a tweaker
who fit the description.

He liked to cop his dope
in an alley off of repetto.

We found him, tried to talk
to him, and, well, he bolted.

And the second one
was that a dead cop's gun

Can be found in a dumpster
on 4th and central.

We called
our buddy chuck munoz.

He works vice
over there.

He's got a black-and-white

That's holding that down
for you guys now.

[ chuckles ]

Yeah, well, the moment
those tips came in,

You should have
let us know.

Well, why?

We're on the same team,
aren't we?

The last thing we'd want

Is for you to be wasting
your time chasing ghosts.

So when we have information
that's credible, of course,

We'll keep you apprised.

Yeah,
that's, uh, teamwork.

Makes your dream work.

Thanks for
running him over.

It wasn't exactly
my intent.

[ sighs ]

And losing
that other guy.

Don't be too hard
on yourself.

Look, john, I am clashing
with r.H.D. On this,

So I'm taking my own tack.

But if you don't want to talk
about this, I totally get it.

I don't know
what I can say.

I told them
all I could remember.

I want to do
something else.

It's gonna feel weird,
but...

I want to see if I can get you
to look at this

From another perspective.

Can you imagine
you're a video camera

Looking down on yourself?

The house,
everything that happened?

Don't be in it,
be above it.

And then tell me
if you can see anything new.

No, I don't --
I don't, uh...

I don't see shit.

Okay.
I appreciate you trying.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Stay strong, john.

And we'll be
in touch.

Sul-sulfur.

What?
The guys's clothes.

They smelled like sulfur,
like rotten eggs.

When they got close,
their skin, clothes...

Sulfur.

Okay.

[ birds chirping ]

[ whistles ]

Oh, shit.

I told you to get rid of that
shit you stole, but did you?

Man, I don't know
what you talking about.

Don't lie to me again,
you stupid [bleep]

You're leaving town tonight.

What?
[bleep] that.

That's your big fix
to get the cops off my back?

It's not about the other house
you robbed, genius.

Who do you think I am?
The king of l.A.?

I can't just
make shit go away.

Oh, okay.

So I stick my neck out
for you,

And now you can't
return the favor.

[ chuckles ]
if I do get grabbed,

I'm gonna let them know
you're a dirty-ass cop.

Is that a threat?

Huh?
Are you threatening me?

'cause you
go right ahead.

They'll put me on a desk,
there will be an investigation,

And we'll see
who lasts longer.

What does that mean?

What do you think the nbks
are gonna do

When I tell them
you broke into a house

And tried to pin it
on them?

You wouldn't do that.

Oh, I would.
And I will.

You're done, moco.

You're done.
But I can't leave.

They stole my car.

You breathe a word of this
to your sister,

And I will
personally bury you.

[ dog barks ]

Man on p.A.:
Attention all units.

This is
an end-of-watch broadcast

For police officer 3,
henry lucero.

Attention all units.

This is
an end-of-watch broadcast

For police officer 3,
henry lucero.

Officer lucero, or "hank,"
as his friends called him...

...Was also awarded
several commendations

In the course of his career,

Including the life saving medal
in 2006

For saving a 3-year-old
from a burning house.

Officer lucero
recently transferred

Into hollywood division,

Which was his last division
of assignment.

He leaves behind his loving wife
of 16 years, adina,

His daughter, felicia, 13,
and his 8-year-old son, rudy.

He will be sadly missed
by both his family

And his l.A.P.D. Family.

Officer lucero,
thank you for your commitment

And your service
to the citizens of los angeles.

And, hank,
you are now end of watch.

Hey.
Yo. [ sighs ]

Do you
know a cody?

Or jody or...

Cody.

All the sulfur -- they use it,
making matches, bombs.

Your favorite shampoo from
the "soul train" commercials --

Make your hair real silky.

Why do you know
that information?

Why?
I read books.

Hey, where's cody?

Oh, shit!

We clear.

[ train whistle blowing ]

William 40.

We have a 187 suspect
contained in the tank yard.

We need an airship.

Get s.W.A.T. Rolling.

So, these tanks -- they go on
for acres, all right?

We don't want
to go in there.

We'll wait for airship
to get here to get eyes.

But I bet he's on top
of one of those things.

Yeah, he's a sitting duck
up there.

Yeah, well,
not so fast, okay?

We're not gonna rush
in there.

If he's got
cooper's gun,

It's still got 14 rounds
in the mag.

Yeah, I'm sure
he wasn't suggesting

That we climb up there
and get picked off one by one.

Yeah, what the hell's wrong
with you, man?

What's wrong with me?
Yeah, you.

What's wrong with you?
This is the second time today

That you've kept major intel
from r.H.D.

So I got to wonder about
you guys' priorities, huh?

You want
to get these assholes,

Or you want to get yourselves
in the headlines?

Oh, wow.
You're accusing us of that?

After not sharing
a single lead?

Are you kidding me?
What's wrong with you, man?

What's wrong with you,
huh?

Mommy got you
on a short leash here?

[ indistinct shouting ]
yo, what's wrong with you?

Are you ignoring me?
I'm standing right here.

I will knock you
the [bleep] out, man.

You're an idiot.
Keep talking to me like that.
I will rock you to sleep.

You are not [bleep] anything,
you understand me?

I can barely hear you.
Man: Break it up.
Break it up.

Wait. W-w-what's wrong?

Where are you going?

Oh, my god. All right.
I-I'll be right there.

I got to go.
What's going on?

I got to go. I got to go.
You okay?

You want me
to go with you?

No. You stay here
and get this guy.

Pilot: Okay, guys,
I got your suspect.

He's gonna be on top
of the tanks here, guys,

On top of the tanks,
hiding behind a utility box.

He's up and running.
He's up and running southbound.

Units on the east side,
give me a perimeter.

Start to get the perimeter.
Surround the tanks.

The tanks are right in
front of you. Let's
surround those, okay?

Let's get everybody
on every side of that tank

And wait for him
to come down.

Oh, he's pointing a gun
at us.

He's shooting at us!
He's shooting at us!

We're taking rounds, partner.
We're taking rounds.

All right,
give me some altitude.

He's firing at us.

Everyone all right?
Everyone good?

Yeah.
All right.

[ alarm blaring ]
oh, shit.

We got hit in the --
we got hit in the fuel tank.

I-I smell fuel. I'm thinking
we got hit in the fuel cell.

I got gas
on my foot.

Fuel's raining.
Patrol, officer needs help.

We got to land this thing.

Okay.
Just hang on, sammy.

We're gonna be all right.
We're gonna be all right.

Uh, looking for
a place to land.

Control,
send an r.A. To our location.

Have them track our location.
Control, control.

We're at harbor division.
Control, harbor division.

Send an r.A. Make it a health
call. Officer needs help.

Officer needs help.
We're putting this thing in.

Dispatcher: A35, copy.
[ siren wails, engine revs ]

All available units
for traffic control,

Airship may make
an emergency landing.

Pilot:
Our fuel cell has been shot.

We are going in at our location.

We're at harbor division.
Control, send an r.A.

I got a lot of wires over here,
partner, a lot of wires.

Fuel cell has been shot.
We are going in at our location.

We need a unit quickly.

Need to find a place to land.

Tell -- tell me --
tell me he's okay.

Oh, he's great.
It's okay.

Yeah.

He's just getting his diaper
changed right now.

He's fine.
What happened?

Uh, he had
a febrile seizure.

What's that?

It sounds worse
than it is.

The doc said that it's common
when a baby's fever spikes.

You know what?

He -- he, like, stiffened up
a little bit.

His eyes started to flutter,
so I raced him over here,

And he was done
by the time I got here.

Oh, my god.
Oh, look at him.

He's great.
Hey.

And his temperature's normal.
Okay.

He's teflon,
like his mama.

Right?
[ laughing ] yeah.

Hey. Hey.

[ laughs ]

Oh, save me some.

Don't worry.

There wasn't much left
to begin with.

Here.

Hey, hey.
I saw on the news.

God, john.

You still haven't given me
an answer...

...About the baby.

I mean, I had time
to think about it.

Now the more I do,
the more sense it makes to me.

I mean,
the two of us...Parents?

Come on,
that's a home run.

I know.

Look, I just --
now is not a good time

For us to be making decisions
like this.

No, no, no.
Now is exactly the time.

I see things...Clearly,
like -- like I never have.

What do you say?

I mean, is it the whole
funky-family thing

That's bugging you?

'cause, I mean,
we could -- we could --

We could even consider
living together.

I mean, why not?
John, john.

We could
make this work.

Hey.

I don't want
to have a baby.

Not with you.

[ voice breaking ]
not anymore.

I'm so sorry.

Sammy:
All I could think about,

All I could see was nate,
you know?

Who would tell him or --
or how he would act

Or if he'd even remember me
when he was 3.

That -- I'm telling you --
that was the scariest part,

Him not knowing me,
you know?

Hey.
I'm sorry. Baby.

Hey, why don't you just meet me
in the café?

It's moco.
Okay. All right.

I think
he's in trouble.

Okay. Look, let's let
sammy rest, all right?

I'm sorry.
Baby.

What's wrong?
He left l.A.

He left l.A.
I think something's wrong.

Okay, maybe he's just
sleeping one off, okay?

No, no.
He called me.

He said he --
he's moving to atlanta,

That he got some job
or some shit.

Shh.
Calm -- calm down.

Chris, a job.

Okay, okay, okay.
All right. Calm down.

Okay. Okay.
All right?

Okay, I'm gonna fix it.
Okay.

Okay? All right.
Come on.

[ sniffles ]

Smith: ...Commander andrew smith
from media relations,

And I'll be introducing
our chief, charlie beck.

[ camera shutters clicking ]

Thank you,
commander smith.

And I want to thank
the outside agencies

Who participated
in this manhunt.

But I want to give
special credit

To the detectives that brought
this case to a close.

As all of you know,
robbery-homicide division

Is our most elite
detective unit,

But they couldn't do their job

Without
the divisional detectives.

And I want to bring forward
an individual

Who brought this case
to a close.

He'll tell you
a little bit about it.

Detective ruben robinson.

Ruben.

Excuse me.

[ camera shutters clicking ]

Thank you, chief beck.

He called me -- cooper --
after s.W.A.T. Took cody down.

He wanted
to thank me.

Nice.
Yeah.

Hopefully that will get him
some peace, you know?

What are you doing here,
anyway?

You gonna let r.H.D.
Get all the glory?

[ scoffs ]

Trust me --
ruben is up there on that dais

Representing
for both of us.

Oh!

Even though he is
way in the back.

[ both chuckle ]

You think
he's warm enough?

Are you kidding?

You got him wrapped up here
like the michelin man.

You know the michelin man
is white?

Dude's supposed to be
made out of tires,

And they make him white.
[ laughs ]

You ever
think about that?

Give me this guy.
You're crazy.

[ laughs ]
hey, buddy.

I think
he likes you.

Mm. All right.

Even more than me.

Oh, yeah, probably.

Mm.

What are we doing here,
lyd?

I don't know.

[ sirens wailing ]

Hey.
Hey.

I brought you
some clothes.

Thanks, man.

You.
What's up?

How's it going,
man?

Good.
Yeah?

Yeah.
She's good?

Yeah,
she's all right.

She didn't --
she didn't look good.

[ laughs ]
she's all right, man.
Yeah?

No. It's all right.

You okay?

Alive.
Yeah.

Yeah.

You know,
after you left...

I started thinking.

If I were an asshole
who robbed a cop,

I thought maybe somebody
saw my car, what would I do?

I'd probably ditch it,
right?

Maybe set it on fire.

So, uh, I called around,
you know,

To the
various police garages,

And I ask them,
"have you towed a civic

With a red hood recently?"

And guess what.

[bleep] today,
in our division,

They impounded a car
that matches that description.

[ paper rustling ]

They even faxed me
a report.

And get this --

The car is registered
to a cris d. Herrera.

This mother[bleep] --
I run -- I run his name,

And he is a half a gangster
with the street name moco.

Moco.
[ chuckles ]

That's the street name
of my...

Of my partner's
girlfriend's brother.

Ain't that right?

[bleep] man.

So many lies, ben, and --
and you [bleep] almost had me,

All the way up until the end,
but in the final hour,

You used
your own badge number.

And I wonder,
"now, why would he do that?

"just inexperience,
maybe ego,

Or perhaps that's just
what happens when he panics."

You think
I broke the code?

[ scoffs ]

No.

You broke it first.

I stuck my neck out.

No questions asked.

And I lied to I.A. When you
beat the shit out of tammi.

I backed you, man,
100%,

Said there was
no [bleep] tape.

And then
when you can't shake the guilt,

Can't live with yourself,
like some goddamn altar boy,

I'm supposed
to let that happen?

[ siren wails ]
no.

No.

I did
what I had to do.

What any sane person
would do.

I did it so you wouldn't
mess up your whole life.

That's shit.
You know it.

You did it for you,
like you always do.

You did it
for yourself.

Hey, I have --
I have saved your ass

More times than I can count.
You saved my ass?

You --
that's your [bleep] job.

You want
a pat on the back?

And, by the way,
you saved my life

After you put my life
in danger,

After you put my son's life
in danger!

So, you want
a pat on the back?

Maybe I'll give chief beck
a call,

And he can give you another
hero's award, officer sherman.

You [bleep] poster boy.

Is that what you want?

[bleep] you.

[bleep] me.
You piece of shit.

[ both grunting ]

Get off me.

We were partners!

We were partners!

Were.

That's right -- were.

Piece of shit.

[ sniffles,
breathing deeply ]

Sammy: You're right.

I did come back to patrol
to try and make a difference...

To help cops avoid
some of the mistakes I made...

Hell...

Some of the mistakes
I continue to make.

But all I can do is show them
by how I act out there...

To hold on to who I am

And see if anybody cares.

I won't help everyone.

I couldn't possibly.

I-I can see that now.

But I don't really have to,
you know?

That's not all it is for me.

[ engine turns over ]

[ engine shuts off ]

Hey, what the hell
are you doing?

Get off
my damn property.

John: I told you if I had to
come back here again,

We were gonna have
a problem.

[ engine turns over ]
leave it off.

[ engine shuts off ]

I'm gonna bust your ass
for your little grow operation

You got going here.
You want to go to jail?

Oh, you're that cop.
My brother told me about you.

Yeah, apparently,
he didn't tell you enough.

We're not growing pot,
idiot.

They shut off our power
'cause we missed two payments.

We're running that so we can
cook and keep our lights on.

Is that
a [bleep] crime now?

Yeah, it is a crime.
It's a noise violation.

You're keeping
my wife up.

Tell her
to shut her windows.

Man:
Shut up out there!

[bleep] pig.
What did you just say?

You heard me.

Just 'cause
you're a cop

Doesn't make you
any less of an asshole.

[ sirens wailing ]

[ siren chirps ]

Police! Let me
see your hands!

Let me see
your hands!

Stop!

Turn around slowly.

[ breathing deeply ]

Let me see
your hands!

Gun! Gun!

Clear that gun.

Weapon secure.

All right, hey,
let's get an r.A.

Hey,
this guy's a cop.

This is john cooper.

Hey, get an r.A.
Hurry up.

Come on, man,
stay with me. Come on.

Come on. Stay with me.

[ helicopter blades whirring ]

Keep breathing.
Come on, buddy.
