Thanks.

Hey. DA's office just
thanked me for a 14% decrease



in officer no-shows in court.

Not bad for one week.

Well, instead of putting
the court notices

in the officer's box, I
serve it to them directly,

that way they can't
say they didn't get it.

That's great, but isn't
that a lot of work?

What else do I have going on?

Well...

Oh, down to my last one.

What, Smitty?

He avoids court like a salad.

Hey, Smitty.

Hey, it's "House
Mouse" Bradford.

How's court liaison
treating you?

All good.

Oh, sorry. No can do.
That's my day off.

You don't like money?

Yeah, I like money.

You get OT the
whole day, you know.

It's not just comp time?

No, you scroll down to the
bottom of your time sheet

and click "For Pay."

20 years, no one told me that?

Good looking out.
I owe you a beer.

Oh, no, no. No, it's all good.

Good work. You
made Smitty happy.

Hey. Hang in there.

Good morning. Today's
gon' be a tough one.

Heat wave has maxed
out the power grid.

Expect more citywide
rolling blackouts.

Officer Juarez,
what's the acronym

that best applies to heat waves?

Oh.

Cheetah?

I'm sorry, sir. I'm having
a blackout of my own.

See me after.

Yes, sir.

"Cheetah?"

You know this.

CHEAP.

"C"... Check the vulnerable.
Check your partner.

"H"... Hydrate.

"E"... Eat light meals.

"A"... Avoid prolonged sun.

"P"... Pace yourself.
You can't do everything.

Look, conserve your
energy. Make smart choices.

Heat equals more violence.
Blackouts equals more theft.

It's gon' be a busy day today,

so pace yourself.

Don't worry. The city
has laid out top dollar

for a state-of-the-art
generator,

which should turn on
right about... now.

Not everyone else
is gon' be so lucky,

so be safe out there.

Everyone's 10-8.

Yes, sir? The heat wave's
been here for a week.

She doesn't know what CHEAP is?

Uh, well...

I assume you
reviewed it with her.

Uh... Nolan, either you
reviewed it with her

and she forgot, or you
forgot to review it with her.

So who do I have a problem with?

I did go over it
with her. Yes, sir.

She... She just forgot.

She's riding with
me today. Sir?

I want to see what
else she forgot...

What else you didn't
drill into her.

Are you evaluating her
or are you evaluating me?

You. You have an
issue with that?

No, sir. No. No, I...

Did the A/C come back
on? Because it's so...

Officer Juarez, you're
riding with me today.

Come on.

Any advice?

Uh, yeah. I would just go
light on the astrology talk

and crystals.

And auras. And
tarot cards, too.

And... And definitely no dreams.

Okay, so keep it
professional. No hobbies.

Yes. Unless you come up with
one of those case-solving

insights, then yes,
you speak right up.

Okay. So you want
me to be myself?

Yes. And also no.

Just if you get one of those
feelings, go back and figure out

the facts that led you
to feeling that way.

Okay, so don't be my... me.

Juarez, let's go.

You're gonna be great.

Please be great.

Hey. How's it going?

I see you have a
lot to, uh, liaise.

And enjoying every minute of it.

I thought we said we would
never lie to each other.

That was a lie.

You're miserable.

No. Mm-hmm.

No, it's not that bad.

You know, nice
people. Low stress.

Wait, wait. Um,
that reminds me...

Next week.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Be safe out there.

I'll see you at
the end of shift.

I, uh, speak Spanish.

Okay, that's not good.

Great spot. Tell me why.

Well, I'm not sure.
I can just tell

something's wrong.

Bad aura? A feeling? A hunch?

Well, stopping someone
on a hunch is illegal,

Sergeant Grey. Correct.

Tell you what.

Why don't we walk that way
while you talk it through?

Pretend you don't see them.

Okay, well, the store is open.

No one's in distress,

and there's an
employee with them.

He's even laughing.

Why does it bother me?

So we're getting closer.

Tell me what you
know or we walk away.

There's a crime happening
right now, Officer Juarez.

Each one of those saws
is about 900 bucks.

I mean, that's almost
nine grand in tools.

In a blackout, debit
cards don't work,

and who walks around
with nine grand cash?

See, that, Celina, is
absolutely perfect.

Control, 7-Adam-200.
I got a plate.

2-William-Adam-Charlie-4-8-4.

Hey, guys, quick question.
Great tools there.

Did you pay cash or card?

Hey, hey, hey. Sgt. Grey: Hey.

Turn around. Turn around.

You good?

Yeah, I'm good.

No, I agree.

A dollar is a lot for
a glass of lemonade,

but that's just smart business,

not price gouging.

Certainly doesn't buy you
the right to threaten anyone.

Yeah, especially not a
bunch of 9-year-old girls.

Turn to the left.

Kicking over their
stand, threatening them.

They were terrified.

You're lucky that the oldest one

doesn't have her black belt yet.

That could have been
a lot worse, Andrew.

Yeah.

Okay. According to Grey,

they should be back
on about... now.

I guess you need
Grey's magic touch.

Yeah. Want to go check it out?

Oh, you guys are already on it.

Any luck?

I think it's dead.

Check the battery?

Yeah. All good.

Maybe the coolant leaking?

I don't see any.

Maybe the shut-off valve is
closed. I'll check it out.

Hey. Buddy, hey, we got it.

You know, it's a
little crowded in here.

You mind?

You guys from this precinct?

I'm new here, so maybe
we haven't met yet.

I am.

Bobby here's usually
with the 57th.

Okay. Huh.

Well, nice to meet you.

LAPD doesn't have precincts.

No such thing as the 57th.

Impersonating an officer
and stealing police property

are both felonies.

I'm sure they didn't
teach you that

in your imaginary
police academy.

We weren't trying to
steal the generator.

Then what were you doing?

I noticed the
smell this morning.

You smell it? Yeah.

I-I figure an animal
got in there and died.

Could be a rat, but it's
a big smell for a rat.

Maybe a raccoon.
Skunk. Mountain lion.

You think a mountain lion
got in there and died?

Well, there's one
way to find out.

Can I see those lock cutters?

Maybe I should cut it.

I mean, if it's a mountain lion,
you probably want to shoot it.

Well, I mean, if it's dead, I
won't need to shoot it, right?

Oh, good point.

Control, Seven-L-19.
I'm at unit 15.

About to cut the
lock to make entry.

Whew. Ugh.

That ain't good.

Poor thing probably got
trapped looking for food.

That's not good.

So if you weren't trying to
steal the generator, then what?

Our friend got pinched this
morning, and we thought,

you know, knock out
the power, get her out.

You do realize locks work
without electricity, right?

Wait, this ain't
maximum security?

We like to keep things
simple, like our criminals.

We find low tech
gets the job done.

Hey, you guys Code-4?

Yeah. That
state-of-the-art generator

was in a state of disrepair.

Those guys had done
a real number on it,

but we managed to
get it working.

Good, 'cause General
Services would take

about a week to fix it.

As soon as you get
finished processing them,

I need you back 10-8.
Pending calls are piling up.

I have to open up a CP just to
deal with these power issues.

Celina's going to be my lead.

Really? That's great. That's...
So things are going well?

So far.

Yeah. She's very
well-trained, don't you think?

She has good instincts.
You can't teach that.

No, no, but you can
certainly teach someone

to sharpen those skills.

Command Post lead...
That's pretty impressive.

Yeah, they almost never
give that to an officer

who's got less
than five years on.

We... We never spoke about it.

Yeah, but she'll
do fine, I'm sure.

Which is what we want.

It is about her, right?

Yeah, no, yeah,
definitely. Yeah.

Body was in a freezer.

The power's been in
and out for days.

The surge must have
finished the freezer off.

Victim thawed in the heat.
Manager called it in.

The manager said the unit
was rented by an RJ Cash.

Alright.

RJ Cash, huh? Looks like him.

Are y... Are you
identifying him?

Oh, not officially, but, yeah.

Career criminal...
Mostly nonviolent,

but career scam artist.

Loves to target the
elderly... Or loved.

My uncle used to
refinish pianos.

I can tell you right now
that is worth a fortune.

Mm. Yeah, I bet a lot
of the stuff in here is.

So, stolen?

Or grifted.

Uh, get as many serial
numbers as you can

and run them through RMS.

Maybe we can track down
some of his victims.

You got it. You want
to get some air?

Yeah, for sure. I stopped
breathing three minutes ago.

I'm about to pass out.

Is there any chance we
could get Tim in on this?

He's Court Liaison. What
does that have to do

with this? Nothing.

I'm just trying to find a way to
keep him from losing his mind.

Is there no other
position he can move into?

No. Everything is
at a standstill.

All right, well,
then you're gonna

have to shake things
up... Create an opening.

Like when a team needs a player,

but they're up
against a salary cap.

Well, what does that mean?

It means you got
to get creative.

Find a weak link and
start a five-player trade.

Whoa. Say more.

All right, let's say that
Tim wants to go to Vice.

McNichols is already there,

but everyone knows
he wants Narcotics.

That was a very ambitious plan,

trying to take out the station's
power to spring your friend.

Loyalty's important.
Plus, she owes me money.

Unfortunately, you won't
get a chance to spend it

unless it's at the prison store.

Uh...

Destruction of government
emergency equipment... felony.

Grand theft... felony.

Impersonating a police
officer... felony.

Attempted rescue of
a prisoner... felony.

Carrying a loaded firearm
in the commission of a crime

is... Felony?

That's right. Wow.

I hope your friend
appreciates your sacrifice.

Maybe this wasn't the
best plan on my part.

You think? Tell you what...

You knock down my charges
and give me probation,

and I'll give you something
better than some fool

in a cop uniform running
around in your basement.

Okay. It's got to be
something really great.

It is.

You know about ghost guns?

Any luck with the
serial numbers?

Yeah. I mean, I
got over 100 items.

About 30 victims. Nice work.

And I found RJ's most recent
employer, Beatrice O'Malley.

I imagine some of the stolen
property must be hers,

so let's get her
in here as well.

Yeah, you got it.

Oh, what's Metro doing here?

Uh, Lopez caught a break
on a ghost gun dealer.

It's their case.
They move as a pack.

That's the alpha and her
right hand, Kevin Hicks.

Metro would be a good
fit for Tim, hmm?

It's a tough gig.
The hours are brutal.

Hicks looks dead on his feet.

I know he's got
triplets at home.

His wife does publicity
for the department.

I mean, Hicks might
be up for a transfer.

A bit more family time.

And if he left Metro,
Tim could take his spot.

You make it sound easy.

Hicks would only leave
for a comparable job,

and there aren't that many.

And if there were,
they're filled.

How do you create that opening?

I don't know, like you
said, the five-player trade.

What could go wrong?

A lot, for both you and Tim.

If sergeants feel like
they're being manipulated,

then they will never
trust you again.

And they talk. So the
next time you need

a favor, and you will, the
answer will be no forever.

So tread lightly.

Lieutenant Pine, Angela Lopez.

Oh, Angela. This
is Kevin Hicks.

Thanks for looping us in.

Of course. It's Metro's case.

It just fell in our laps.

Okay, listen up. This
is Detective Lopez.

She's about to share
some information

your sorry asses couldn't find
if it was gift wrapped for you.

Detective, please tell
my team how it's done.

Okay. I'm gonna
make this quick.

Come on, come
on, just pick up. Pick up.

Celina, did you reach DWP's
Joint Response Coordinator?

Left messages, sir. Three.

So what about Fire's
Emergency Response Captain?

Did you get ahold of FEMA?

No, sir. I-I'm
still working on it.

ADT? They were next
on the list, sir.

Celina, you got to get
ahold of these people.

What about the other
Watch Commanders?

We need Civil
Unrest React Teams.

Do you need something?

I can help her.

No, it's okay. I've got it.

No, you don't, Boot.

I got a buddy at
DWP Joint Response.

I can give you his direct line,

and I can help coordinate
the React Teams.

Please do.

Come on, Boot. You want
to learn how to do this

or not?

Hey, you're Hicks, right?

Yeah. Alright, what you need?

Got an op about to jump off.

Oh, um, I heard
you have triplets.

That must be a lot of work.

Yeah. Tougher than
anything LAPD can throw at me.

Yeah, I bet. I
imagine having kids

must make you reevaluate
your priorities.

Yeah, wife's not too happy.

So, listen. Um, my roommate

is an excellent babysitter,

and she's always looking for
work if you ever need someone.

Really? Mm.

Detective, Lieutenant.

They say it's gonna hit 100.

Thanks. Nolan and
Thorsen are the ones

that made the original
bust that gave us our tip.

Nice work.

Thank you. Right place
at the right time.

I know you. You're
the guy who got

the golden ticket, right?

That's right, I did.

Expected you to go Metro,
but you took T. O. instead.

Interesting move.

I like teaching the kids.

Matter of fact, my
trainee is heading up

the Command Post as we speak.

You don't say. Well, if
you ever do consider Metro,

give me a call.
It's a tough test,

but I will make sure
you get a good tutor.

Thank you very much.

Shall we?

Listen up. Today's op
is a UC gun buy-bust.

I'm the UC.

Targets are using a pharmacy
as a front to sell ghost guns.

Trouble sign is hands up,
gun out, or running away.

Bust sign is fingers
through the hair.

Hold sign is dropping the purse.

Metro Sergeants Shab and
Watson have been working

this case for months,
but Detective Lopez here

uncovered the code the
gun sellers need to hear

in order to sell weapons.

We weren't able to get close
enough for our own visuals,

but luckily, Metro was able to
hack into the security cameras,

so their cameras are
now our eyes and ears.

Everybody sharp today.

No fear, no regret, no
mistakes, no excuses.

"Metro" on three.
One, two, three.

Metro.

Metro seems normal.

You'll have a blast there.

Oh, no, thanks.

Text Lopez... Eric Mills, A.
K. A. "Knuckles" on her six.

Hawaiian shirt, jeans.
Unknown if armed.

Picking up? Dropping off.

I have an issue that
needs to "go away."

My prescription's for
Charcoal Cough Syrup.

Sure. We've got
that. Cash only.

It's got to be untraceable.

Wait, I know this chick.

How do I know you?

You don't know me, and
you don't want to know me.

Yeah. I do.

Damn it. We have
rolling blackouts.

UC's in trouble and
we have no visual.

No visual.

Seven-Adam-15 moving
in for rescue.

I need eyes on the UC.

Nearly there. Trying
to get visual.

You got 10 seconds, and
then we're going in.

Start talking.

Hold. Everyone hold.

Negative! Officer rescue now!

I see her purse. She's
deployed the hold signal.

Stand by.

Look, I don't know
who you think I am,

but I ain't her.
I am in a hurry.

Now, either we have a deal

or I can take my
cash somewhere else.

All right, all
right. Take it easy.

What do you want?

I need a .45, 15-round mag,
and it has to be a ghost.

1,000 bucks. Untraceable.

Thanks.

Go get them. Go! Go!

Police! Officer
#2: Get down on the ground.

Don't move!

Juarez, you want to
tell me what's going on?

Yeah, well, I left word for
the, uh, Watch Commander

at Hollywood Division. I'm
still waiting to hear back.

Okay, you can 10-22 all that.

I'm more concerned about you.

Okay, sir. I'm so sorry.
I'm usually more focused.

You trying to reach someone?

My mom. She's barely
left the house in years.

She's a shut-in.
She lives alone.

Her power went off
earlier, and she's not

answering her phone.
I'm just worried.

Why didn't you say something?
She needs a welfare check.

Yeah, I wanted to, but
with the Command Post...

Hey, remember CHEAP?
C... Check in.

That is your job.

Come on. I'll
clear it with Grey.

RJ is dead?

We found him this morning,
stuffed in a storage locker.

Oh, that's awful.
What happened?

We're not sure, but I understand
that he worked for you.

Yes. He was such a help.

I'm not so good at
computers.

He set up my online banking.

All those passwords are
just impossible to remember.

I don't know what I would
have done without him.

Have you checked your
accounts recently?

Oh, everything's on autopay.

Okay. You need to do
a thorough accounting.

RJ was a thief and a grifter,
and he wipes out his targets.

No, no, th-that's not
right. He wouldn't do that.

I'll call her son.
He lives in New York.

We'll get this all sorted, okay?

Did you ever see RJ
argue with anyone?

Did he ever seem scared at all?

No. He was fine until
he stopped coming in.

Okay. Thank you for your time.

If you remember anything at
all, just give me a call.

Sir, there's one thing
I haven't told you.

You know how I spent the day
doing administrative work?

What about it? Well,
my mom sort of thinks

that's what I do
all day, every day.

She doesn't know I go on patrol.

So you want me to lie for you?

Well, not lie, exactly.

Just focus on the small
portion of the truth

and then exaggerate it. No.

Celina. Mama, I've
been calling you.

You didn't pick up.

My phone died. No
power to charge it.

This is my boss,
Sergeant Bradford.

And this is my
mom, Karla Juarez.

Oh.

Okay, Mami, I'm the police now.

You'll always be my baby.

God, it must be 100
degrees in here.

Reminds
me of a sauna.

It's good for your skin.

Yeah, in 10-minute
increments, not all day.

You have birds?

Lorca y Neruda.

They're my muses. I sell
paintings of them online.

It's how I pay my bills.

Okay, Mama, you can't stay here.

You got to come with
us to a cooling center.

What about the birds?
You can bring them.

I can't.

It's been years since
she's left the house.

It's dangerous out
there. I worry so.

And I told you, you have
nothing to worry about.

I'm safe at the station.

That's right. Taking calls
and gathering information.

Well, thank you for
keeping my baby safe.

Of course, ma'am.

Listen, I've got
an apex generator

in the back of the shop.

Let me bring it in here and
get the A/C up and running.

No, no, no, I don't
want to be a bother.

Oh, it's not for you.
It's for Lorca and Neruda.

I'm sure they could use
a little cooling off.

Okay. For the birds.

Is he single?

This, my dear, is how garlic
shrimp scampi changed my life.

And this is how a brilliant man
won my heart with a generator.

I do
feel a tiny bit guilty

being the only ones with power.

And air conditioning.
And air conditioning.

I know. We must have
gotten 40 calls today,

all from people needing help.

It's bad out there. It's
only gonna get worse.

Well, here's to a quiet evening.

Cheers.

Pardon me.

Oh. Did you check your texts?

I didn't, but...
Uh, our power is out

and it is too hot
for Leah to sleep,

and we have some personal
things that are about to go bad.

No, please. Welcome.
You're welcome.

Come, come, come.
Oh, thank you.

Oh, aww. Are you
sure you don't mind?

Of course! What
do you guys need?

Your fridge.

Oh, yeah. Stick that
in right over there.

But not next to the creamer,
though. That would be bad.

It happens.

We have shrimp scampi.
Do you guys want any?

He's allergic to shellfish.
I'm allergic to shellfish.

Can I make something
else for myself?

There's plenty in there.
Please help yourself.

Hey. Hey.

Sorry. We know it's late.

Can you believe how
hot it is out there?

Right, at this time of night?

Whew. Oh, my God. Air
conditioning feels so good.

Hey. Hey.

The only air conditioning
we have is in the car.

Can I charge the car?
Yeah. I'll get you a cord.

Can I get you a
glass of wine first?

Yes. Yes, please. Ohh.

Hey, bud. Daddy
needs some wine.

Hey.

Lucy. Sure, why
not? Come on in.

Oh, you look surprised.

Wait, weren't you
on the group text?

No, no. I turn off
my phone when...

Wine?

Tequila. Double.

I need it. We have
a big problem.

I got it.

Hicks leaves Metro, goes to IA.

Remington moves to Motors.

That means Watson
gets into SWAT.

Halsey comes over to Metro.
There's still a spot for Tim.

Remington's wife won't
let her on a motorcycle,

so that's a non-starter.

Okay, um, Fujii retires, hm?

Halsey goes to Metro and
Madison goes to Robbery.

Hmm?

Primm will go to Vice?

No, they hate each other.

Okay. Um, Jones goes to SWAT.

And Bob's your uncle.

Yes.

Oh, no. What?

Well, the only way this works

is if Fujii retires,
and the only person

who can convince
her to do that is...

Smitty. Yeah.

Hey, Tim. This is unexpected.

What's your... What is
the... What's the...

What are you... What's up?

Uh, I-I heard you had power.

I was hoping you
had the game on.

Yes. Yes. I mean,
yes, we have power.

The game is... We
can... Come in. Come in.

But is that Lucy's car?

Uh, yes.

Come on in. Hey,
guys, look who it is.

It's a party. What's going on?

Nothing. Just
enjoying the A/C.

You okay?

Yeah. Couldn't be better.

15 years. That's what you're
looking at for arms trafficking.

Wait, don't I have a Second
Amendment right to sell guns?

It's a right to bear
arms, not sell them.

Right.

You know, I've
done a lot of time.

Kind of done with the
whole prison thing.

Then give us something.

All right. What about...

Oh, no, if I give him
up, he'll kill me.

We can protect you.

Not from this dude.

Oh, what about... No,
she owes me 12 large.

Wait. If someone owes me
money and they get arrested,

I'm out that money,
right? Probably.

Then definitely not her.

Oh, you're a regular phone book.

I stay busy.

Oh. What about Kingston?

Prentiss Kingston?
The King of Fentanyl?

One of his lieutenants
buys from me.

Does that get me anything?

I think we could
work something out.

Sold.

Gotta love career criminals...
They know how to play the game.

Your gun dealer rolled?

Gave us a major
fentanyl distributor.

Wesley's working out
his plea deal now.

What's that?

Uh, I got the ME's
report on my dead body.

The cause of death was a
bilateral pulmonary embolism

caused by ingesting
metallic mercury.

He was poisoned.

Yeah, over a long
period of time.

It looks like he was
suffering from confusion,

mood swings, tremors.

Beatrice's caretaker
had a tremor.

Maybe whoever targeted
RJ is also targeting her.

I don't know who any
of those people are.

No reason you should.

Awesome. Great.

Chen.

Smitty.

Want some?
Uh, no, I'm good.

But I... I could use a favor.

A favor? Hmm. That
would mean you'd owe me.

Technically.

Lay it on me.

You went to the academy
with Lauren Fujii.

I did. Well, she
needs to retire,

and I need you to
talk her into it.

Hmm.

If Lauren Fujii retires,
Watson goes to Vice,

Primm goes to Motors,
Hicks could move over,

and Tim takes the
open spot in Metro.

How...?

I'm smarter than people think.

Uh...

Yeah. Smitty,
you got to do it.

I mean, if not for
me, think of Tim.

Tempting, but Fujii and I
had a bit of a falling out.

Oh. I'm afraid to ask why.

Let's just say it had something
to do with salsa night.

Okay, okay. Well, um...
here's how you can make up

for whatever you did.

Her family lives in San Jose,

and A-I Meta Network is looking
to hire a new head of security.

They're paying 400 grand a year.

You would be her hero if
you brought her this job.

400 G's? Maybe I'll take it.

Oh. You would be great,
but that doesn't really

help me out.

And also, Smitty,
it's a lot of work.

Pass. Yeah.

But if I talk to her,
you got to do me a favor.

Mm-hmm. Nothing weird.

Nothing weird.

Promise.

Deal. Deal.

Thank you.

What are we singing?
Oh, nothing, sir.

Listen, I know I
screwed up yesterday.

I appreciate the second chance.

Celina, these evaluations
aren't meant to punish you.

They're meant to make you better
at the thing you're worst at.

Do you know what that is?

Asking for help. That's right.

Tim told me about your mom.

Look, you've endured
unimaginable loss,

and you've carried
that weight alone.

But now you have a new family
of brothers and sisters.

Remember that.

Copy that, sir.

Next time I need
help with something,

I won't keep it to myself.

Very good.

Now, today is a do-over.

Today, every call that
comes up, you're in charge.

And you're driving.

Did you find out
what happened to RJ?

We are making progress.

Tell me, did you work at
Mercy of Saint Vincent's

from '96 to '05?

Oh, that's how I injured
my hip. I had to retire.

Okay. Did you know that
nine patients died there

from heavy metal poisoning?

Oh, I-I wasn't aware of that.

Mercury was found
in all nine victims,

all of which were your patients.

Were they? Um...

That was such a long time
ago. I don't really remember.

Mercury poisoning is
also what killed RJ Cash.

And your caretaker,
Sharona, is at the hospital.

I noticed that her
hand had a tremor,

which is also a symptom
of mercury poisoning.

The doctors are looking
at her right now.

Thank you.

For what?

For catching me.

I-I don't know why
I keep doing this.

S-Sometimes it's like I'm
watching somebody else.

Thank you for stopping me.

Hey, what's going on?

Lopez's gun dealer says
a huge amount of fentanyl

moves through that house.

What if we get exposed?

Incidental contact won't
give you an overdose,

especially if it's already
been cut or pressed into pills.

But what if it
hasn't been cut yet?

Pure fentanyl? Mm-hmm.

Two micrograms kills
you if inhaled.

That's less than
half a grain of rice.

Okay, Juarez. You're
senior officer on scene.

What do we do?

Well, I mean, we
call a sergeant.

Great. You're here. Proceed.

That's usually correct.

But very soon, you might be
most senior officer on scene.

So what do we do?

I mean, you surround
and call out.

You set up a perimeter,
call into the house,

and you get them to
surrender. Is that right?

I'm not saying.
Make a decision.

Control, Seven-Adam-15.

Can I get six additional
units to 956 Oakwood Court?

Code-3.

Six units
en route, Code-3.

Good work. Now what?

Recon. See what
we're dealing with.

Let's go.

Alright. Come on with me.

There's a kid in there.

They've got a 5-year-old
little girl in there

while they're manufacturing.

Yeah, we found empty
cardboard boxes in the trash

which used to be packed
with gelatin capsules.

That means they are
cutting pure fentanyl

and filling the
capsules in the house.

We need to get that
kid out of there.

Should we try a diversion?

See if we can try the
old "Sorry Sucker" gag.

It's a classic.
You smash, I grab?

Copy that.

Does that mean I'm
not in charge anymore?

Only in spirit. Let's go.

You're with me.

Whoops.

You did not just hit my car!

Yeah, I did. Sorry about that.

Looks like minor damage, though.

Don't worry. The city
will pay for all the damages

and rental car inconvenience.

Yeah. I'll just need to get
some of your information

for the accident report.

Can I get your name?

Hi. My name is
Celina. What's yours?

Listen, I'm sorry
to stop the game,

but there's an emergency
and we need to go outside.

Do you want to come with me?

Hey, show me your hands.

Put your hands behind your head.

Baby girl!

Help! I got the kid! Help her!

Celina's still in there.

Watch out.

Celina!

Celina!

Celina!

Officer Juarez is down.
She's not breathing.

Let's go.

I need Narcan!

Come on.

Easy, easy. Come on. Come on.

Come on, Celina.

Celina.

Celina, come on, wake
up. Come on back.

Celina! Hit her again.

Come on. Come back
to us, Celina.

Celina?

Celina, can you hear me?

Come on, Celina.

Hey.

My hand.

What'd you say?

You're crushing my hand.

Oh, sorry. Sorry.
Hey. Hey. Hey.

Over here, guys. Come on.

Good work in there.

Mm-hmm.

Hey. Hey. How you feeling?

And don't just say fine.

I-I'm still pretty shaken.

But, um, thank
you for saving me.

Like I said, family.

Yeah. What you did
took guts today.

Yeah, saving a kid like that.

I mean, there's got to be
a medal in there somewhere.

There definitely is. I'll
get on the paperwork.

Or maybe it would be
better coming from her FTO.

I'm happy to do it.

I'm curious, though, would that
qualify me for a medal as well?

No. Yeah, that's not
what's important right now.

But having a training
officer's very first rookie

qualify for a medal in
her first few months

on the job would put me in
some pretty rarefied air.

But again, not
important right now.

Hey. Hey.

I just heard Lauren
Fujii is retiring.

Really? That's surprising.

Yeah, apparently she got
some great gig up in San Jose

paying her a ton of money.

Wow. Good for her.

With her out, Watson
moves over to Vice,

Primm winds up in Motors,
and Hicks takes his place.

I don't know how you
keep all that straight.

Don't you get it? It
means there's an opening

in Metro.

Well, at least there was.

Lieutenant Pine just
called me 15 minutes ago,

and I'm going over.

That's great. Congratulations.

Thanks. Grey gave me
a rock-star review.

Yeah, well, he should.
You're amazing.

I'm excited.

I'm excited. Let's go to
dinner tonight and celebrate.

T... Tonight, I
can't. I'm sorry.

I really, really
want to, but I can't.

I promised my friend
that I would help him

with something.
Tomorrow night.

Hm? Okay.

Okay. Sure.

Do you need any help?

No, no. It's something
I got to do on my own.

But tomorrow night,
it is a date.

We are gonna celebrate you.

Congratulations.

They're really
lucky to have you.

Thank you.

Okay. I got to go.

Good job.

Hola, mija. How was your day?

Oh, you know, just a lot of
filing, a lot of paperwork.

Almost done, though, so
I'll be heading out soon.

I always thought police
work was so dangerous.

It is.

I got a paper cut today.

Ay, mija, you need
to be careful.

I know.
I am. I promise.

I'll admit, I've been
lax about cleaning it.

How lax?

Uh, either Clinton or
Bush was the president.

W... Which Bush?

It's been a while.

A deal's a deal.

I'm happy it worked out for Tim.

Yeah. Oh! Hey. Whoa!
