02:01well everyone else well i i certainly hope that your co-workers aren't as focused on your breasts
02:06as i am my co-workers are 60 percent men well they will find out eventually yeah but i have to make
02:13my mark as detective before they do once they know i'm pregnant they're gonna treat me different

02:46and we've just been sitting in it day after day
02:48that's enough in the wake of recent events several changes have been instituted department-wide
02:53officer bradford you want to read the top line change
02:56yes sir any officer requesting a copy of a police report must get written approval by a sergeant
03:01after use all copies must be destroyed failure to do so will result in discipline
03:05officer west every recruit in the academy must now report all contact with active duty officers
03:11no matter how small and officer nolan no officer shall buy own or possess a phone
03:15even for personal use without also providing the department with a number
03:18do i have to tell my girlfriend about it too
03:20these changes are necessary
03:24what nick armstrong did has tarnished the badge
03:28it made all of our jobs harder

05:22but uh i'm not one of them
05:24let's go
05:25craig's right
05:31we need to rededicate ourselves to doing this job the right way
05:34which means the last 25 days of your training
05:36are going to be even more intense
05:37we should check the chop shops
05:38see if anyone brought my car in
05:40that's what you're focused on
05:41even as parts
05:42your car is worthless
05:43not to me
05:45let the hunk of junk go
05:47and focus on the end of your training
05:48is that what you would do
05:49let someone get away with stealing the thing that means the most to you
05:53the only constant in your life for the last ten years
05:56it's a car

06:40about what's going on in this community
06:42the only staff this place when the department's doing damage control
06:45well that way the higher-ups can congratulate themselves
06:48on how much they care without actually doing anything

11:11Oh, no.
11:15Something dying there?
11:17You checking balming fluid levels?
11:19Last night, but they haven't been touched,
11:21and nothing else seems to be missing.
11:23Why would someone break in and not take anything?
11:25Could be a weird sex thing.
11:34You okay?
11:35Uh, yeah, it's just...
11:39Did you cremate someone this morning?
11:42No, not for a few days.
11:56So who's that?
12:03Got him.
12:04Hey, come on, take it easy.
12:06It's okay, we're just resting in for burglary.
12:08Stealing this backpack.
12:08What, you need four cops for a kid stealing a bag?
12:11Let's go, my man.
12:11It's okay, it's okay.
12:13Look, calling for backup is simply protocol.
12:15We don't know if the suspect is armed.
12:17Better safe than sorry.
12:17Safe for who?
12:19Not for people who look like him or me.
12:21You want us to stick around?
12:22No, we're cool.
12:23I'm not cool.
12:24Are you?
12:26Look, this guy just made one of your neighbors a victim.
12:30Okay, he's going in, so...
12:31It's never that simple.
12:33All right, if the city wasn't spending 50% of his budget on cops,
12:37then maybe he would have gotten a leg up instead of the short end of the stick.
12:39Look, I hear you.
12:40Trust me, I do.
12:42But I don't have a time machine, okay?
12:43So right here, right now, this guy just broke someone's window,
12:46which is not cheap to fix, and he took their property.
12:49So if you want to help him, help him get a good lawyer.
12:51I will.
12:57Are you supposed to ignore crime in his eyes?
12:59It's not that easy.
13:01He's fighting against a rigged system, and he is not winning.
13:05Where's your down?
13:08Uh, you mind taking a walk back to the center?
13:11I, uh, can still make the Lila school on time.
13:13No, yeah, of course.
13:14What are you going to do about the food?
13:15Improvise.
13:16Good luck.
13:21Dispatch, can you connect me to city services?
13:25City services, this is Mike.
13:26Hey, Mike.
13:27Uh, this is Officer John Nolan.
13:29I'm standing at a park gate on the 500 block of West Elm
13:33with a bike lock on the gate.
13:34Is that you guys?
13:35A bike lock?
13:36No way.
13:37So you wouldn't have an issue if I took it down?
13:38No, sir.
13:39Excuse me.
13:40Hi.
13:41Me again.
13:42I don't suppose you have a pair of cable cutters I could borrow.
13:45Sure.
13:45You're trustworthy enough, I guess.
13:47I don't know if James would agree with you, but yes.
13:49Not yet.
13:49You've been working with this crew long?
13:51No.
13:52James just throws me jobs when he can.
13:54Most days I just line up at the local Home Depot,
13:56take whatever work drives up.
13:58Used to own my own construction company,
14:00but that went belly up when the economy tanked.
14:02I was in construction in Pennsylvania before I became a cop.
14:05Yeah, I had more than a few very lean years.
14:08Lean's being kind.
14:09I almost lost my house.
14:11Something to be said for day work, though.
14:12Doesn't pay great, but it also doesn't keep me up at night
14:15worrying about how I'm going to make payroll.
14:16You know what?
14:18Write your name and number on the back of one of those for me.
14:20I have cops coming to me asking me to do jobs for them all the time.
14:23I would be happy to throw them your way.
14:25That'd be great.
14:26Thanks.
14:26No problem.
14:27I'll be right back with these.
14:28Write down that number.
14:28Yeah.
14:39Park's open.
14:40What the hell is wrong with you?
14:43It was a simple burglary call.
14:45You could have closed up the case as a non-worker.
14:47Instead of hearing that you have the coroner and a full CSU team on site.
14:50Yes, sir.
14:51It's a possible homicide.
14:52No.
14:53It's an albatross around your neck.
14:54Those ovens burn at 1,800 degrees.
14:56The DNA is most likely cooked.
14:58And unless you have a victim, the lab moves you to the end of the line
15:00so they won't even get to those fragments for months.
15:04No victim, no cause of death means no homicide.
15:07All you have is a health and safety code violation
15:09for improperly disposing of a body.
15:13I'm impressed.
15:14We made it over that fence.
15:15Couldn't do that, even back when I was your age.
15:18You ever think about a career in SWAT or Metro?
15:20Only all the time.
15:21A buddy of mine's commander over at SWAT.
15:23Can put in a good word.
15:24Yeah, that would be amazing.
15:26All right.
15:30Get out of my car.
15:31Get out of my car.
15:31Show us code 6 for an army of 415.
15:33This is your house.
15:34Get out.
15:35Now.
15:35What seems to be the problem?
15:37The problem is the drug giant in my back seat.
15:39We landed here 20 minutes ago, and he refuses to get out.
15:42Sir, get out of the car.
15:43Can you please stand on the sidewalk?
15:44Don't hurt the car.
15:45It's my only source of income.
15:46What is the goal of this call, Officer Chen?
15:49To get the Mountain's ugly cousin out of the car.
15:51Wrong.
15:52It is to get him out of the car without making things worse.
15:55And do you think you can get him out without relying on your weapons?
15:57Really?
15:58A TIM test right now?
15:59Our goal as police officers should be to de-escalate whenever possible.
16:02This is from the guy who set me up to fight a suspect on day one.
16:05Does this mean you're not up to the challenge?
16:06No, sir.
16:06I am game for whatever you want to throw at me.
16:09Great.
16:09So here's the deal.
16:10We start with 100 points.
16:11Reach for anything on your belt, and you lose points.
16:14Baton is 10.
16:14Taser equals 15.
16:15If you take out your gun, that's 50.
16:17Leave this call with 85 points or less, and you lose.
16:20And I write up a blue page on you.
16:21Getting one of those at this stage of your training would be a real problem.
16:23Can I earn points?
16:25Absolutely.
16:25You get him calm, five points.
16:27He agrees to get out of the car, 10.
16:29You get him to apologize to the driver, 20 points.
16:31But if you use any of your weapons, game over.
16:34You lose.
16:35Back up.
16:36I got this.
16:38Excuse me.
16:39Hi.
16:40I'm Officer Chen.
16:41What's your name?
16:42I want the pretty girl.
16:43Where'd the pretty girl go?
16:44Well, she's right out here.
16:45Why don't you come out and see her?
16:47You're trying to trick me.
16:48They told me all about that in the Marines.
16:50You're a Marine?
16:51Two toys in country.
16:52You're raw.
16:55Thank you for your service.
16:57Why don't you get on out and let the pretty girl have her car back?
17:00Don't tell me what to do.
17:01Oh, that's 15, Officer Chen.
17:03You're already in the lost column.
17:06Let's go out.
17:07Eat a bag of drink.
17:08Not helping.
17:09I'm not a bad guy.
17:10Sir, look.
17:11Back off.
17:11Okay.
17:12Okay.
17:13Look.
17:14I get it.
17:15It's been hard being home, back in your life where nothing feels normal.
17:19But she's just trying to do her job.
17:21And I know your mother didn't teach you to disrespect women.
17:25Don't talk about my mom.
17:27She died when I was over there.
17:30I'm so sorry.
17:32You know she would tell you that you're better than this.
17:36You fought for freedom, and that includes this girl's freedom from you harassing her because...
17:41Because you got drunk and lonely.
17:44You're right.
17:53I'm sorry.
17:54Don't apologize to me.
18:01I'm sorry.
18:02Bite me.
18:05Fine.
18:06Thanks.
18:08Do you live here, sir?
18:10Yeah, upstairs.
18:11All right.
18:12Head on up.
18:12Straight to bed.
18:13And just take it easy next time you're at the bar.
18:15Yeah.
18:15Yeah.
18:18Calm.
18:19Plus leaving.
18:20Plus an apology.
18:22I crushed this test.
18:25Nice recovery.
18:26Mm-hmm.
18:26Have a great day, ma'am.
18:27Oh, uh...
18:28Just wait one second.
18:29Have you seen this car while you've been driving around?
18:32Oh, super cute.
18:33Yeah, thanks.
18:34You know what?
18:35I did see it.
18:36Where?
18:42There it is.
18:45Somebody's inside.
18:48Control 7-Av-19, Occupy, 10-8-5-1, Wilshire, Norman, Station.
18:52Stop right there.
18:52Put your hands on top of your head.
18:54Fingers interlaced.
18:59You are under arrest for auto theft.
19:01No, you don't understand.
19:02I didn't steal the car.
19:03The guy who owns it lent it to me, but he lost the keys.
19:05I'm the guy who owns the car.
19:07You didn't even lock it.
19:09What did you expect?
19:09Yeah, well, it doesn't lock.
19:10It does now.
19:11What?
19:12How did you fix it?
19:13It was easy.
19:14Just popped out the door panels.
19:15Took like two minutes.
19:17Wait, are you living in here?
19:18How old are you?
19:20Seventeen.
19:20Where are your parents?
19:23Dead.
19:23Anything in here that's going to stick me?
19:30Needles?
19:30Knives?
19:31No.
19:31How long have you been living on the street?
19:33You're careful with that.
19:39Sorry.
19:40Must be hard living like this.
19:42What do you care?
19:43Uh, I'm not going to press charges.
19:49Here, stand up.
19:52Seriously?
19:53Yeah, it's my car, my prerogative.
19:55Who?
19:56We'll get you set up over at a children's shelter, all right?
19:58Uh, you don't have to.
19:59I got someplace else I can go.
20:00Does it have doors that lock and people that care about you?
20:03Does the children's shelter?
20:04You know how many times I got my stuff stolen from there?
20:07It's too far from school.
20:08You still go to school?
20:09Yeah, I do.
20:10And I get good grades.
20:12Any more dumb questions?
20:15Look, I don't want to make getting to school hard for you.
20:17But I don't have a choice here.
20:19So it's either jail or the shelter.
20:21But I won't just dump you there, okay?
20:22I'll help you find a permanent place.
20:24Is she for real?
20:24Officer Chen, a word.
20:27You stand here, hands on the car.
20:33Congratulations.
20:34On what?
20:35On your first puppy.
20:36What?
20:36Every rookie adopts a puppy at some point.
20:38Someone they think they can save.
20:40Honestly, I'm surprised it took you this long.
20:42Did you have a puppy?
20:43But that's not relevant here.
20:45What is, is that it never goes well.
20:47Okay, well, she's not a puppy.
20:48She's a girl in trouble.
20:49And I'm going to help her.
20:51Okay?
20:527-Adam-7, show us code 6 on the burglary call at 1119 Brower.
20:577-Adam-7, copy.
20:59Hey, I'm DeAndre, and these are my folks.
21:03I don't really speak much English.
21:04Most African?
21:05Uh, Somalia, actually.
21:07I was born in Long Beach.
21:08So, uh, someone broke into your home.
21:10Yeah.
21:11We spent the night in Bakersfield for my basketball tournament.
21:14Just got home a few hours ago, and door was busted open.
21:16I see TVs, computers, and my mom's jewelry.
21:19Sorry to hear that.
21:20I used to play a little ball back in high school.
21:22Used to call me the Duggernaut.
21:23You got a nickname?
21:25Not really.
21:27Uh, D sometimes.
21:29D, huh?
21:29D-Ball.
21:30Nice.
21:31I like it.
21:32So, did anyone know you'd be gone?
21:34Did you post on social or anything like that?
21:36Got any tattoos, D-Ball?
21:37I mean, one.
21:41A little tiny dot I gave myself when I was 13.
21:45See?
21:46So, who are you claiming these days, D?
21:49What?
21:50I'm not claiming anybody.
21:52I'm not in a game.
21:53So, you're not Murder East Nation?
21:54State line crew?
21:55No, dude.
21:56We got robbed.
21:57Do anybody money, D-Ball?
21:59Sometimes, burglaries will have personal motives.
22:02My partner is just trying to narrow the suspect field.
22:05Sir, could I ask you a favor?
22:07Partner to partner.
22:09What is it?
22:10Officer Lopez never let me do any interviews alone.
22:12And I could use the practice over the next three weeks
22:14before I end up riding solo.
22:16You'd be doing me a real solid, sir.
22:20All right.
22:21I'll be back in the shop.
22:23But your report better be bulletproof.
22:25If I find as much as a typo, it's a blue page.
22:27Understood.
22:28But, like, I, um, I gotta apologize about my partner.
22:34He's done a lot of work with gangs
22:35and gets kind of stuck in his head.
22:39Will you please show me the point of entry, sir?
22:41Yeah.
22:41Round of applause for the conquering hero.
22:45What happened?
22:45I snagged a deep dish pizza on the way there.
22:48Because Donovan is from Chicago, so you know.
22:51Heritage.
22:51And kids love pizza.
22:52Only thing they ate.
22:53One mom, she brought this jellied fish thing.
22:57One kid cried.
22:58When he saw it.
22:59Looks like I went at momming.
23:00Not sure that's exactly how you're supposed to see it.
23:02Super, Josh.
23:03I'm enjoying my triumph.
23:06Anyway, how are things going here?
23:07Great.
23:08I signed off on a couple of fix-it tickets.
23:10Came up with some ideas for reaching out to the community.
23:12Would you like to hear them?
23:13Sure.
23:14All set.
23:16Thanks for letting me do that.
23:18Mm-hmm.
23:20Get to work on that report.
23:23Did one of you clip the bike lock in the park?
23:26I did.
23:27Yeah.
23:27Are the kids using it?
23:28Yeah.
23:28Luckily, my oldest found the dirty needles in the sandbox before little kids played in it.
23:34I had no idea.
23:35Did you at any point stop to wonder why the lock was even there?
23:39Those lights have been busted for a year.
23:41Do you know what happens in a dark public park?
23:43Yes.
23:44Drug dealers.
23:44Yeah.
23:44And junkies.
23:45And who the hell knows what else.
23:47We locked the park to keep them out.
23:49We could have helped.
23:50You should have called 911.
23:51So do what?
23:52Clear them out for the night?
23:53Maybe kill someone in the process?
23:54We're not all trigger happy.
23:57I mean, most of us want to help.
23:58I don't know about most.
24:01But I can't roll the dice that a good cop is going to show up.
24:04So we found our own solution.
24:05The lock was there to protect us.
24:07To protect our kids.
24:09Look, you shouldn't have to trade a place to play for safety.
24:12No.
24:13We shouldn't.
24:15But we do.
24:15The city gave you permission to work on this yourself?
24:39Uh, yeah.
24:40It took some convincing, and I got to do it on my own time.
24:42All the city has to do now is come and inspect.
24:45Until then, lights are working.
24:48Hey, that's just great.
24:50You must feel real good about yourself.
24:52Actually, my shoulders and my back are a little angry with me.
24:55And what about tonight?
24:57When they break the lights again, what then?
24:59Uh, cameras are on the way,
25:00and the watch commander has approved more patrols in the area,
25:02so if anybody's caught messing with the lights,
25:03they'll be arrested.
25:05So more black and brown people in prison.
25:08And then you'll be gone,
25:09and it'll just go back to the way it was.
25:11I'm just trying to help.
25:15You ever wonder why cops spend so much time in neighborhoods like this?
25:20It's because the arrests are easy.
25:22Hell, I've lost count of the amount of times I've seen rookies
25:24brought here and taught,
25:26this is what a junkie looks like,
25:27and this is what a dealer looks like.
25:29And from that moment on, that's how cops see us.
25:32Okay, look, I wasn't trained like that.
25:34Well, that's because your training officer looks like us.
25:36Like, the only person you helped this morning is you.
25:38You made yourself feel good
25:40while you put a Band-Aid on a systemic wound.
25:44You want to make a real difference?
25:47Stop picking on us
25:48and attack crime at the source.
25:51Keep meth out of this neighborhood.
25:53Anything less,
25:54you're just wasting both our time.
26:00Morning.
26:01You okay?
26:05Uh, Tamara left the shelter during the night.
26:08The girl who stole my car.
26:10Right.
26:11Sorry.
26:11I, like, wrapped up a mile in a little drama.
26:13Mm-hmm.
26:14I talked to her caseworker.
26:16Tamara's had it rough.
26:17Both of her parents OD'd.
26:19She got taken in by relatives,
26:20but there was violence in the house,
26:22so she split.
26:23What are you gonna do?
26:24Try and find her.
26:25Even though Tim's giving me a hard time,
26:26he calls her my puppy,
26:28says that every rookie gets one.
26:29He's just being judgy.
26:31You know how he is.
26:32All due respect,
26:33screw Tim.
26:34Yeah.
26:35And all the other T.O.'s.
26:36You know, I am so sick
26:38of being at the bottom of the food chain,
26:39like, constantly jumping through
26:41somebody else's hoops.
26:42Well, are you all right?
26:43What is up with all this drama?
26:45Doug, like...
26:46He did something yesterday
26:49that really bothered me.
26:51The way he treated this one family.
26:54Black family.
26:55Did he put hands on them?
26:57No.
26:57No, it's just the way he talked to them.
27:00Like, the disrespect was like...
27:0424 more days.
27:08Yeah.
27:12No.
27:14It's super healthy.
27:15Then you eat it.
27:16I have too much work to do
27:17just for the next half hour puking.
27:19Can I help?
27:21I'm dead in the water.
27:23Our unknown suspect forced entry
27:25into a funeral crematorium
27:26and disposed of a body.
27:28No prints, no DNA,
27:29no gender, age, or race.
27:31All we got is a sneaker print
27:33from the most popular brand on earth.
27:35There has to be something.
27:39Suspect approaches,
27:41forces entry,
27:42alarm goes off.
27:43According to the alarm company,
27:45he enters a code.
27:46Enters it again,
27:47alarm is still going off,
27:48so he cuts the wires.
27:53He didn't try two different codes.
27:55He tried the same code twice.
27:59Gotta go.
28:08Now she's got me doing it.
28:10We got to get something straight.
28:14Okay.
28:15I was super pissed
28:16when I went home last night,
28:17the way you pushed me yesterday.
28:19Then I realized
28:20you just don't know any better,
28:22so it's my job
28:23to teach you the right way
28:25to think on the street.
28:26Officer Lopez did that already.
28:27Yeah, sure.
28:29But I got a very different perspective
28:30than your former T.O.
28:32I've seen a ton of gang activity
28:33in my time,
28:34and that experience has taught me
28:36that crooks and dirtbags
28:37always try to hide who they are.
28:39No, DeAndre didn't seem
28:40like a crook or a dirtbag.
28:42They never do.
28:43Do you know the significance
28:44of that dot tattoo,
28:45Officer West?
28:47Is he has three more on his chest,
28:50so when he puts his hand
28:51over his heart
28:52and holds up two fingers,
28:54it makes the area code 213,
28:57birthplace of Crips.
28:58That kid, D-Ball,
28:59is a straight-up gangster.
29:01Maybe I'm wrong.
29:02If so, that's on me,
29:03but I've seen far too many good cops
29:05get caught flat-footed
29:07making the wrong assumption.
29:08You must remain ever vigilant
29:09on this job,
29:10otherwise we end our shift
29:12in a body bag.
29:18Morning.
29:20You are six minutes late.
29:22Sorry, I was putting up
29:23lights at the park.
29:24You know they're just gonna
29:25smash those out again.
29:26That's what James said,
29:27but the lights are up,
29:28which means crime will be down,
29:30and the patrols and cameras
29:31will keep the lights working.
29:32That's gotta be value-add, right?
29:34Okay, I know you.
29:35I know your heart
29:35is in the right place,
29:37but you can't come at this
29:39like you are some kind of...
29:42savior.
29:45You mean white savior.
29:47Look, that's the last thing
29:48I'm trying to beat,
29:49but what am I supposed to do?
29:50How can I be an ally
29:51to the people that live here?
29:53Stop pretending like
29:54you know what they need,
29:56and just ask.
29:58Mr. Moore,
29:59thanks for coming by.
30:01You all painting in here?
30:03Something like that.
30:04Have a seat.
30:06Would you like some coffee or water?
30:08I could use a beer.
30:09You used to work
30:10at St. Dubois Funeral Home.
30:12Is that correct?
30:13Barely.
30:14I mean, it's been so long.
30:16Your pay stubs show
30:17that you worked there
30:17up until two months ago.
30:19Feels longer.
30:20Records also indicate
30:22that you had your own access code
30:24for the security system.
30:26It was your code
30:27that was entered
30:27during a recent break-in.
30:29Anybody could have seen that code,
30:30tried to use it.
30:31True.
30:32But the wear on shoes
30:33is as unique as a fingerprint.
30:34No two people walk
30:35exactly the same way.
30:36This, you may remember,
30:37is your shoe.
30:39And this
30:40is from the crime scene.
30:49Okay, yeah,
30:50I broke in.
30:50But I didn't kill anyone,
30:51I swear.
30:52I just burned the body
30:53like all the others.
30:54Others?
30:56Like in more than
30:57one dead body?
30:59Yeah.
31:01Okay, I'm going to stop you
31:03and redo your rights.
31:04You have the right
31:05to remain silent.
31:06Anything you say can
31:07and will be used against you
31:08in a court of law.
31:09You have the right
31:09to an attorney.
31:10If you cannot afford an attorney,
31:11one will be provided for you.
31:13Do you understand
31:14the rights I've just told to you?
31:16Yeah.
31:16I'm not stupid.
31:18Of course not.
31:19And with these rights in mind,
31:21do you wish to speak to me?
31:23Okay.
31:25Mind if I invite in a friend?
31:26Is she cute?
31:28How many bodies did you dispose of
31:29while you worked there?
31:30Not many.
31:31Seven, 12.
31:33I don't know,
31:34it was like once every couple months.
31:36But then I got fired
31:37and I was really scared
31:38to tell the guys,
31:39so when they brought me
31:40another body,
31:40I just broke in.
31:42And who are the guys?
31:45They'll kill me.
31:46You can be a good witness
31:47or an accessory to murder.
31:49Up to you.
31:50Okay, fine.
31:52K-Town Mafia.
31:53Brian Samoro's crew.
31:55But he's crazy.
31:56I need secret service protection.
31:57You mean witness protection?
31:59That too.
32:00Give me all of it.
32:00Pretty sure that albatross
32:04just flew away.
32:05Nice work, detective.
32:08I'll finish up here
32:08with Mr. Moore.
32:09Go coordinate with Ezra
32:10and the gang unit.
32:11This is gonna be
32:12a front page arrest.
32:13What's an albatross?
32:21Okay, and you've reattached
32:22your front license plate,
32:24which means I can sign off
32:26on this fix-it ticket
32:27as prepared.
32:29There you go.
32:30Thank you so much
32:31for coming in.
32:31As you can see,
32:32it's been just a little slow.
32:34Still getting up to speed.
32:35Don't forget to send in
32:36the $10 as a...
32:38Processing fee.
32:39Another satisfied customer.
32:40Go for John Nolan.
32:45Hey, it's Hugo.
32:47I lent you bulk oders yesterday.
32:48Great!
32:49Yes!
32:49Hey, how are you?
32:50Uh, I'm on a job right now.
32:53We're doing a commercial kitchen.
32:54They want vinyl composition tiles
32:56in the food prep area.
32:57Pepper!
32:58So we're going through
32:59lots of denatured alcohol,
33:00paint thinner,
33:01drain cleaner.
33:02Building codes forbid
33:03vinyl composition tiles
33:04in food prep areas.
33:05He knows that.
33:06He knows I use that.
33:06I know it's great,
33:07but the coffee is terrible.
33:08All the filters I found
33:10are stained red,
33:11plus no AC
33:12until we get the freon.
33:13And don't even get me started
33:15on the propane
33:16while the brass
33:17in the tanks turn blue.
33:18Red phosphorus
33:18gets run through coffee filters,
33:20freon, denatured alcohol.
33:21These are all ingredients
33:22that produce
33:22anhydrous ammonia gas.
33:25Gas that turns
33:26brass fittings
33:27on propane tanks blue.
33:29Where are you?
33:30Can't say,
33:31but you keep those jobs
33:32open for me.
33:33Of course I will.
33:35Red phosphorus,
33:36ammonia gas,
33:36I don't...
33:37It means that Hugo
33:37has been roped
33:38into building
33:39a meth lab.
33:40Probably a super lab.
33:41We gotta go save him.
33:42All right,
33:43I will call Metro.
33:44I'll tell them
33:44to get a SWAT team together.
33:45No, we have to go.
33:47SWAT doesn't know
33:47what Hugo looks like.
33:48What if they lump him
33:48in with the narcos?
33:49This is it.
34:04This is where Hugo's phone
34:06was when it last sent
34:06that signal,
34:07but there's nothing here.
34:09Nolan, look over there.
34:11Gases from a meth lab
34:12kill any vegetation
34:13near the vent ports.
34:14It's somewhere over there.
34:15All right, listen to me.
34:19Some gases from
34:20a ruptured meth cook
34:21can kill you instantly.
34:22So, even with this on,
34:24that'll give you
34:25about 30 seconds.
34:25Pops.
34:29We hear a boom,
34:30we get out of there
34:31immediately.
34:32Do you copy that?
34:36Ready?
34:36Go, quick!
34:37Go, quick!
35:07Thank God you found us.
35:13Then we're gonna let us go.
35:14Where are the keys?
35:15Up on the wall!
35:18Hurry!
35:18We gotta get out of here.
35:20Come on!
35:20What is next?
35:21Come on!
35:22Oh my God!
35:23Oh!
35:24Oh!
35:29Let's get out.
35:30Nolan, we have got
35:30to get out of here.
35:32Let's get out of here.
35:33Come on, come on, come on!
35:34Okay, let's go!
35:35We gotta go!
35:36Nolan, come on!
35:37We gotta go!
35:38I'm not leaving it behind!
35:39We gotta get out of here!
35:40We gotta get out of here!
35:41Come on, listen.
35:43Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
35:44We gotta get out of here!
35:45Yeah, come on!
35:45Get down!
35:46Oh, my God.
36:1629, 28, 27, 28,
36:2424, 23, 22, 21, 22.
36:3024.
36:42Oh, you're OK.
36:44You're good.
36:45Yeah.
36:46Don't watch.
36:51Trust me.
36:53There's nothing we can do for him.
37:05Tamara.
37:06How did you find me?
37:07Well, I checked all the local high schools
37:09to see where you were registered,
37:10and they told me that you're usually hanging out
37:12at the library until closing time.
37:14You can take me back to the shelter, but we both know I won't stay.
37:18I know.
37:19But living on the street isn't any better.
37:21You know, you deserve more.
37:22There isn't more.
37:23There's just this.
37:25You don't believe that.
37:27Otherwise, you would have given up, dropped out.
37:30I think you believe that there's something better out there.
37:33You just need someone to help you find it.
37:35So, look, um, I'm going to give you my car.
37:40What?
37:41Just until you get back on your feet.
37:42You know, I know it doesn't run great, but it took me to college.
37:45It saw me through three really bad relationships,
37:48and it kept me sane after...
37:51Well, after I almost died.
37:53What's the catch?
37:54You gotta let social services help you find a place to live.
37:57One that I'll make sure is safe,
37:59and you have to keep checking in with me regularly
38:01until that happens so I know you're okay.
38:03Like once a week?
38:04Like once a day.
38:06It's a free car.
38:07That barely runs.
38:08Once a day until you're off the street or no deal.
38:16Thanks.
38:23How's life without Lopez?
38:25Definitely not the same.
38:27Hey, have you ever seen anyone with one of those 213 dot tattoos?
38:32Not in like a decade.
38:33That's some old school gang stuff.
38:35Did Stanton tell you about that?
38:37Yeah.
38:38Right after he told me that I should listen to him
38:40because he has a different perspective than Lopez.
38:42Look, Stanton was originally an LA County Sheriff.
38:44Rookies in the Sheriff's Department,
38:46they don't start out in the streets.
38:47They do two years as guards, mostly at the Twin Towers.
38:50That sounds like a nightmare.
38:52Nothing like having inmates pelting you
38:54with bags of feces on the regular
38:55to give you a jaded view of humanity.
38:57Or a certain color of humanity.
39:00Look, I hear he's a solid cop.
39:08Learn what's useful and ignore the rest.
39:12All right?
39:13If you quote me on that to Chen, I'll deny it.
39:15You all done?
39:16I gotta pick up the keys for my mom.
39:17Mm, how old?
39:1870.
39:19You were talking about moms, right?
39:20Mm, right.
39:2112 and 14.
39:22Mm.
39:23You got any?
39:24I do.
39:25Uh, her name is Lila.
39:26She's seven.
39:27Right on.
39:28Right on.
39:29You go up around here?
39:30Englewood.
39:31You still live there?
39:32Is this a side door into a conversation about cops
39:34living in the communities they serve?
39:35Busted.
39:36But you gotta admit, it wouldn't make a difference.
39:38Yeah, sure, but it would also mean that anyone who was angry
39:40at the police could take it out on me, my family, my home,
39:42my little girl.
39:43I don't know.
39:44I don't know.
39:45I don't know.
39:46You got any?
39:47I don't know.
39:48You got any?
39:49I do.
39:50Uh, her name is Lila.
39:51She's seven.
39:52I know.
39:53I know.
39:54I know.
39:55You go up around here?
39:56Englewood.
39:57You still live there?
39:58Is this a side door into a conversation about cops
40:00living in the communities they serve?
40:01Busted.
40:02Mm.
40:03But you gotta admit, it wouldn't make a difference.
40:04My little girl.
40:06Don't act like you don't know nobody who wouldn't do it.
40:09I mean, we're not tight, but I get it.
40:14I get it.
40:15It's complicated.
40:16Yeah.
40:17For both of us.
40:19But I appreciate you willing to talk about it.
40:22Thanks for looking out for Hugo.
40:24He said you straight up saved his life.
40:27Well, that wasn't just me.
40:29Nolan insisted that we both go personally
40:32so that SWAT would not see Hugo as a criminal.
40:35Don't write Nolan off.
40:36He is more of a guardian than any other cop I have ever worked with.
40:40I mean, right now his shift is over, and yet he's still inside
40:43waiting for kids to come by for tutoring.
40:45Anyway.
40:46Have a good night.
40:47Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
40:48You gave her your card?
40:49Listen, I can't deal with any more judgment.
40:50No.
40:51No.
40:52I was gonna say that's very generous.
40:53Thanks.
40:54Hey.
40:55Uh, hi.
40:56Come on in.
40:57Oh, thanks.
40:58These are my boys, Aaron and Michael.
40:59Uh, hi.
41:00I'm Joe.
41:01Hi.
41:02I'm Lucy.
41:03Nice to meet you.
41:04Look, I know I've been giving you a tough time, but I really do appreciate what you were
41:07trying to do this morning.
41:08Even though it was misguided?
41:09Yeah.
41:10Plus, they've changed the way they teach math again, so I'm a little lost.
41:13Well, you came to the right place.
41:15Lucy is excellent at math.
41:17Jackson is excellent at math.
41:18Yes.
41:19And he will be here soon.
41:20Why don't we get you guys settled?
41:21Right this way, Jensen.
41:22Look, I don't take handouts, so if you're gonna tutor my boys, I am gonna pay.
41:24Yeah, let me give you a tough time, but I really do appreciate what you were trying
41:28to do this morning.
41:29Even though it was misguided?
41:30Yeah.
41:31Plus, they've changed the way they teach math again, so I'm a little lost.
41:32Well, you came to the right place.
41:34Lucy is excellent at math.
41:35Jackson is excellent at math.
41:36Yes, and he will be here soon.
41:37Why don't we, uh, get you guys settled?
41:38Right this way, Jensen.
41:40Look, I don't take handouts, so if you're gonna tutor my boys, I am gonna pay.
41:46Well, how about this?
41:48We'll tutor Michael and Aaron,
41:50and you sit down and talk to us a little more
41:52about what this neighborhood really needs.
41:56I can do that.
41:59Perfect timing.
42:01Jackson, this is James.
42:02You met him outside the park?
42:03Yes.
42:04Right this way.
42:05These are the guys that need your help.
42:08This is the numbers, guys.
42:10Where did you have that?
42:11You're here.
42:13How old are you?
42:1413.
