JACKSON: Two firearms
for two gift cards.
Thanks for making our
streets a little safer.
So, we're just gonna destroy these?
What if one was used in a crime?
Hey, "no questions
asked" means just that.
And it's the best way to get people
to turn in their unregistered weapons.
That and the $100 gift cards.
NOLAN: Oh. Hang on a second. Sorry.
Let me help you with those.
Oh. Thank you... Officer Nolan.
- Yeah. And you are?
- I'm Alma.
Nice to meet you.
NOLAN: Are all these yours?
Oh, no, no. They...
They were my father's.
He was a paratrooper
back in World War II.
- [GROANS]
- And when he came back from the war,
he brought all this with him.
I've been carrying it with me
since he passed in '74.
Oh, Alma...
this is in good condition.
You could get real money for this.
Oh, no. I wouldn't know where to start.
Besides, I'm moving in
with my son's family.
I don't want these around my grandkids.
Well, we are here to help.
ALMA: Oh, those were his pistols.
He brought them from
Germany to San Francisco.
And that one there is Ginny.
♪ ♪
[SHAKILY] Alma, is that a land mine?
Yes, a claymore, I think.
From his time in Vietnam.
Uh, can we get a bomb squad
to the front lobby? Now.
Well, I'm so glad you brought this in,
because these are extremely unstable.
Tell you what. I'm gonna
stay here to dispose of this.
Officer Chen is gonna get
you to a safe distance,
and then we'll get you those
gift cards we talked about.
Oh, uh, what about the ones in my trunk?

you get back to campus.
Love you, too. Bye.
- BEN: Hey.
- Hey!
BEN: Oh... oh, I know
I said Sedona had some easy hikes,
but you should at least put on shoes.
Sarah just accepted
an offer on the house.
That's my girl. Well,
it's a seller's market.
Besides, it's not like
you're going back to Foxburg.
Unless the house was your safety net
- in case this didn't pan out.
- No.
- Okay.
- I just always imagined
Henry raising his own
kids there, you know?
Mark their height on the same doorjamb
and camping in the backyard like we did.
Aww. That's sweet, Mr. Cleaver.
But Henry's 18.
Like, the last thing he's thinking about
is inheriting your house.
He's out there starting a new life.
As are you.
So go get dressed.
We have quite an adventure ahead.
- Yes, we do.
- [CELLPHONE BEEPS]
"Mandatory Emergency
Callback for all patrol."
Huh. What does that mean?
It means we're having
different adventures today.
CAPT. ANDERSEN: Thank you for
coming in on your day off.
The Vice President is making an
unscheduled visit to our city.
So it's all hands on deck.
- Agent Danvers.
- Thank you, Captain.
As always, the Secret Service
appreciates the LAPD's assistance
in clearing and securing
"Redwood's" route.
- These are your Operation Plan Manuals.
- [CELLPHONE BUZZES]
AGENT DANVERS: Each officer's
name has been listed
under a specific Quadrant and Zone,
along with your responsibilities.
Your watch commander
will liaison with me
- throughout the day as issues arise.
- [CELLPHONE BUZZES]
[MUTTERING] Come on...
I'm sorry. Officer West.
Is there something you want
to share with the group?
Um, no, sir. Uh...
I'm sorry. I just, uh...
I had plans I needed to cancel.
So did everyone here, yet
they're paying attention.
Yes, sir.
These assignments are
your sole priority today.
You will not field calls from dispatch.
Let the day shift deal with that.
Captain?
Most of you know the drill.
For our rookies... Today
is going to be ugly.
Everything we do to ensure
the safety of Redwood
will create gridlock.
It's important to be
patient and vigilant.
That's all. You're dismissed.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
SGT. GREY: Bishop and Nolan.
Agent Danvers has a
special assignment for you.
We've got a Class 2 threat
we need chased down.
Class 2?
Class 1 is someone
who's made overt threatening statements
but made no overt action.
Class 2 are individuals
who have a history of
assaultive behaviors
toward authority figures.
And Class 3?
Had agents on their doorsteps
the second we learned of this visit.
Stanley Knott.
Guy's made repeated
threats against the VP
over the last few years.
AGENT DANVERS: Nothing actionable,
but he's got previous assault charges
against a host of supervisors.
I need you to make sure
he's not planning anything.
- Happy to do it, ma'am.
- AGENT DANVERS: Great.
Call me if you need any assistance.
- "Happy to do it"?
- What?
Nothing. I've just never heard
you use that word before.
LUCY: I don't get all the fuss.
It seems like we're
getting a day of overtime
just to close roads and hang signs.
That's like saying being drawn and
quartered is fun time with horses.
We're literally creating traffic jams
during rush hour on purpose.
Everything we do today is
gonna piss someone off.
- Quadrant One.
- Quadrant Two.
I mean, we deal with
angry people every shift,
but a day of OT means I can finally fix
- the air-conditioning on my car.
- [CHUCKLES]
What?
Air-conditioning makes you soft.
You gotta get comfortable
with being uncomfortable.
- That's the job.
- Is he serious?
As a heart attack, Boot. Which...
I gotta say...
you almost gave the watch
commander back there.
Seriously, playing with your phone
during a briefing is a cardinal sin.
I-I lost focus.
I only hope you were
canceling something important,
because Grey won't
forget that for a while.
Just, uh, breakfast with my mom.
- Is that all for us?
- Yep.
Extra road flares for
the uptick in accidents.
Extra ticket books for
the increase in idiots.
Extra crime-scene tape
for blocking sidewalks.
- And cones for closing roads.
- Okay, okay, I get it.
Oh, we're not done yet. Hats and Bats.
Tactical helmets and 42-inch
batons for riot control,
along with heavy-duty
vests if things get ugly.
And my personal favorite,
the 40-millimeter tear-gas launcher
for when democracy gets real.
But, hey, at least you'll
be able to ride in comfort.

[MAN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY IN DISTANCE]
NOLAN: Do you think our Class
2 threat is actually a threat?
Maybe.
TALIA: Maybe writing
hate-letters to the Veep
is just his way of blowing off steam.
Did you just "glass
half-full" our suspect?
Who are you and what have
you done with my T.O.?
Look, I'm trying a much
more positive approach.
But if you'd rather I go back
to yesterday's attitude...
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Uh, no one's a bigger
fan of positive than me.
That cannot be right.
- Problem?
- No. Sorry.
My ex is selling our house.
I largely stayed out of it
because, honestly, I didn't want her to.
NOLAN: But I just saw
the price she's getting.
The place has doubled in value.
Mm, that sounds like
a good thing to me, Officer Positive.
N-No, it is. Yes.
I was just thinking about
trying to buy her out, you know,
keep it in the family, but...
I can't match that price.
There's our guy.
Hey, Stanley.
Can we talk to you for a minute?
- What do you want?
- NOLAN: Haven't you heard?
Your friend's in town.
What friend? I don't have a friend.
Vice President.
So what?
So what's in the bag, Stanley?
- Nothing.
- Show us.
- No.
- We're not asking.
We have probable cause
based on your prior actions
and a clear distress.
[HORN HONKS, TIRES SCREECH]
[GRUNTING]
Come on. Hands. Let's go.
- Weapon.
- It's just a flare gun.
I don't need a license.
I looked it up online.
Were you planning on
pointing that flare gun
at the Vice President today, Stanley?
- He needs to be stopped.
- Sounds like a "yes" to me.
You're under arrest, Stanley.
Did we just foil a real-life
assassination attempt?
He's a nut with a flare
gun wrapped in underpants.
Not Jason Bourne.
But we just might have
prevented a tragedy.
Was that so hard?

No, I'm sorry. It's just my mom.
- I never got to call her back earlier.
- Now is not the time
for personal calls.
- Of course.
- Okay, folks, you can't be here.
There's a designated protest
area across the street,
- behind the barriers.
- We have a right to free speech.
- This is public property.

This is the hotel's property,

That's why you always carry an
extra uniform on days like today.
Yeah, I know. I, uh... I just...
Forgot?
Get it together, Officer West.
You can't afford to lose focus out here.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
Which side of the
building faces the street?
To the right.
Should we really be penalizing these
people for their civic engagement?
Supreme Court ruled that displaying
anatomically impossible pictures
qualifies as obscene,
so hanging erotic banners of the V.P.
in 10 windows of an apartment building
definitely isn't protected
by the First Amendment.
I'm just saying, the
guy should be flattered.
[CHUCKLES]
Police. Open up.
[MUFFLED MUSIC PLAYS]
What's up?
You have an obscene banner
hanging in your window.
It needs to come down.
Oh. Okay. Sorry.
My neighbor offered me 100
bucks to put that there.
Well, it's illegal.
No problem.
I'll make sure to take care of it.
Sir, is there something inside
you don't want us to see?
No.

Got it. Do we have to call ICE?
No, L.A.'s a sanctuary city.
Our job is to police the streets,
not check status.
But we're not letting this go.
Get his driver's license and do an F.I.
We'll be back tomorrow

Hi. Um, I need to get my blood tested.
I got stuck with a

If you could fill this out.
Have a seat in the waiting room,

You must be new,
because no experienced nurse
lets an armed cop sit with civilians.
What do you think happens if somebody
attempts to grab her weapon?

So set her up in a room

if I can just... match the offer.
It's not an investment

Well, I have some savings.
Maybe Ben will give me a loan.
The only thing worse
than going into debt
- is doing it with a friend.

It's just I built that
house from the ground up.
You know, everything...
The tree house in the backyard.
My son's whole life was at that place.
Sounds nice.
It was.
We never really talk
about where you're from.
Let's just say it didn't
have a tree house.
It's a good job on the Class 2.
As a reward, you get another assignment.

Every job is an opportunity, sir.

Positive? Good.

Ma'am, there's an obscene
banner hanging in your window.
We need you to remove it.
I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
JACKSON: We know your neighbor paid you.
But it's a violation
of Penal Code 415.5.
We can arrest you for having it up.
- I need that money.
- Ma'am, it's only $100.
Only?!
[SCOFFS]
Have you ever been broke, Officer?
Because I'm on the edge
of living on the street.
And that $100 is the difference
between me being able to
pay my rent this month
and getting evicted.
Look, ma'am, I'm very
sorry to hear that,
but, um, you have to
take the banner down.
[CELLPHONE BUZZING]
But we just became aware
of major code violations
in one of these apartments.
I see no reason why forgiving
your rent for a few months
couldn't be part of the
building owner's penalty.
Really?
Really.
Now go take down that banner.

Let us know if you need anything else.
So, what's with the positive attitude?
