1
00:00:01,402 --> 00:00:02,755
Previously, on
"SWAT"...
2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,227
Truth be told,
part of me still feels
3
00:00:04,311 --> 00:00:06,070
like I've got big shoes to fill.
4
00:00:06,155 --> 00:00:07,465
You do,
but the reason we chose you
5
00:00:07,549 --> 00:00:08,617
is because you're unique.
6
00:00:08,702 --> 00:00:10,422
It's up to us now working
together as a unit.
7
00:00:10,506 --> 00:00:12,064
I know Street
covered for you today,
8
00:00:12,148 --> 00:00:13,515
but you keep playing it fast
9
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,375
and loose, and that winning
streak's gonna dry up like that.
10
00:00:16,515 --> 00:00:19,539
This pilot program was
actually founded by a police officer.
11
00:00:19,624 --> 00:00:21,423
It's really important that
civilians like yourselves
12
00:00:21,507 --> 00:00:23,251
and Nichelle are at
the forefront of this program.
13
00:00:23,335 --> 00:00:26,102
Would you be interested in
continuing to oversee COPE
14
00:00:26,187 --> 00:00:27,465
even if it were
a part of the LAPD?
15
00:00:27,549 --> 00:00:28,901
How could I? I'm a civilian.
16
00:00:28,985 --> 00:00:31,101
So am I.
What do you say?
17
00:00:36,123 --> 00:00:37,866
Hey, you're up early.
18
00:00:38,023 --> 00:00:39,390
Let me guess.
19
00:00:39,474 --> 00:00:41,876
The baby's doing karate all
up in your belly again, huh?
20
00:00:41,961 --> 00:00:43,524
No, she's been good.
21
00:00:43,608 --> 00:00:44,758
Mm.
22
00:00:45,734 --> 00:00:49,281
I was just looking over
the agenda for my OIG meeting.
23
00:00:49,531 --> 00:00:51,141
Oh, that's right,
today's your big first day.
24
00:00:51,225 --> 00:00:53,649
- Mm-hmm.
- Ah, I bet the inspector general's excited
25
00:00:53,734 --> 00:00:55,744
to have the brains of the
COPE Program on her panel.
26
00:00:55,828 --> 00:00:59,105
Keeping COPE on track is only
a tiny part of this job.
27
00:00:59,189 --> 00:01:01,829
Advising
on LAPD procedure changes,
28
00:01:01,914 --> 00:01:03,859
complaints against officers,
even reviewing
29
00:01:03,944 --> 00:01:05,428
other community initiatives.
30
00:01:05,587 --> 00:01:07,244
There's a lot
that's gonna be new for me.
31
00:01:07,328 --> 00:01:08,664
You'll get the hang of it.Ah.
32
00:01:09,081 --> 00:01:12,125
I hope so.
Trying to be super-prepared
33
00:01:12,210 --> 00:01:13,511
for today's topics.
34
00:01:13,596 --> 00:01:14,765
Oh, wow.
35
00:01:14,850 --> 00:01:16,992
LAPD Good Neighbor program
up for review.
36
00:01:17,195 --> 00:01:18,856
More like on the chopping block.
37
00:01:18,948 --> 00:01:20,312
I was doing some reading.
38
00:01:20,397 --> 00:01:21,867
I don't know that
much about it yet.
39
00:01:21,952 --> 00:01:23,680
Well, it gives police
discounts on homes
40
00:01:23,765 --> 00:01:25,291
in low-income areas.
The idea is
41
00:01:25,376 --> 00:01:27,686
to turn cops and community
into neighbors.
42
00:01:27,773 --> 00:01:28,847
You know, Luca
bought his house through
43
00:01:28,931 --> 00:01:30,189
that program, you
should talk to him.
44
00:01:30,273 --> 00:01:32,047
Oh, that would
save me a ton of time.
45
00:01:32,132 --> 00:01:35,008
And it'd be good to hear from
someone who's actually done it.
46
00:01:35,383 --> 00:01:38,101
You okay if I stop by today
and ask him a few questions?
47
00:01:38,195 --> 00:01:39,929
You know you are always welcome.
48
00:01:40,497 --> 00:01:42,023
Hey.
49
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:44,397
Stop stressing.
50
00:01:44,668 --> 00:01:46,140
You're gonna be great.
51
00:01:46,597 --> 00:01:47,820
I love you.
52
00:01:47,905 --> 00:01:49,004
I love you, too.
53
00:01:53,931 --> 00:01:56,291
Witnesses say it felt
like a coordinated attack...
54
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,215
Press is calling 'em
"flash mob robberies."
55
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:01,907
Bunch of shoplifters hit
a store at the same time,
56
00:02:01,991 --> 00:02:03,300
then scatter. It's clever.
57
00:02:03,488 --> 00:02:05,050
On-site security gets
overwhelmed.
58
00:02:05,135 --> 00:02:06,651
By the time patrol shows up,
the thieves are in the wind
59
00:02:06,735 --> 00:02:08,325
with thousands of dollars
worth of merchandise.
60
00:02:08,409 --> 00:02:09,889
This is the second incident
in a week.
61
00:02:09,999 --> 00:02:12,134
First was a hardware
superstore in the Valley.
62
00:02:12,219 --> 00:02:14,311
No this electronics store
on the west side.
63
00:02:14,395 --> 00:02:15,528
Those are really
different targets.
64
00:02:15,612 --> 00:02:17,271
- What do we know about the crew?
- There isn't one.
65
00:02:17,355 --> 00:02:18,977
Events are organized online.
66
00:02:19,062 --> 00:02:20,328
Suspects don't even know
each other
67
00:02:20,412 --> 00:02:21,851
when they converge
on their target.
68
00:02:21,951 --> 00:02:24,411
RHD has been coordinating
with Cybercrime.
69
00:02:24,496 --> 00:02:26,236
Now they found
some social media accounts
70
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,238
that hype the idea
to their subscribers.
71
00:02:28,322 --> 00:02:29,848
And then they drop
the details of the event
72
00:02:29,932 --> 00:02:31,067
right before it's happening.
73
00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:32,764
So the followers can
decide if they want
74
00:02:32,848 --> 00:02:34,113
to jump in
on the action.
75
00:02:34,197 --> 00:02:35,263
As if the Internet
doesn't enable
76
00:02:35,347 --> 00:02:36,316
enough bad behavioral ready.
77
00:02:36,401 --> 00:02:38,206
Well, the word is, there's
gonna be another flash mob
78
00:02:38,290 --> 00:02:39,551
- robbery today.
- Yeah, but, Commander, these
79
00:02:39,635 --> 00:02:42,731
are memes and TikToks, created
by teenagers and opportunists.
80
00:02:42,816 --> 00:02:44,167
Is this what SWAT's
on high alert for?
81
00:02:44,251 --> 00:02:45,630
Well, these thieves are not
major threats
82
00:02:45,714 --> 00:02:47,083
individually,
but as a collective,
83
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:48,171
they're doing
real damage.
84
00:02:48,255 --> 00:02:49,433
I mean,
businesses are all over
85
00:02:49,517 --> 00:02:50,869
the mayor,
she's all over the chief.
86
00:02:50,953 --> 00:02:52,175
Patrol's stretched thin.
87
00:02:52,259 --> 00:02:53,160
They're asking
for our help.
88
00:02:53,245 --> 00:02:55,199
LAPD needs to shut one
down as it's happening.
89
00:02:55,284 --> 00:02:57,543
So I want 20-David dressed out
and standing ready.
90
00:02:57,644 --> 00:02:59,704
Once Cybercrime gets wind
of the next target,
91
00:02:59,788 --> 00:03:01,358
I want SWAT rolling.
92
00:03:11,408 --> 00:03:12,567
LAPD!
93
00:03:12,652 --> 00:03:14,419
Don't move! Drop it!
94
00:03:14,552 --> 00:03:15,372
You're done.
95
00:03:15,456 --> 00:03:16,653
Scoop 'em up.
96
00:03:16,738 --> 00:03:18,709
Guess Cybercrime was right
about a store here being
97
00:03:18,793 --> 00:03:19,928
the next flash mob target.
98
00:03:20,013 --> 00:03:21,365
We're here
to crash the party.
99
00:03:21,450 --> 00:03:22,653
Patrol's set a perimeter.
100
00:03:22,738 --> 00:03:24,089
Let's get inside.
101
00:03:30,213 --> 00:03:31,911
Shoplifters gone wild.
102
00:03:32,028 --> 00:03:33,346
All right, that's
our entry point right there.
103
00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:35,479
We work to the back. Deacon,
Luca, you take the south side.
104
00:03:35,563 --> 00:03:36,724
Street, Powell,
you take the north.
105
00:03:36,808 --> 00:03:38,569
Tan and I will clear things
up out here. Now remember,
106
00:03:38,653 --> 00:03:40,397
most of these people
are non-violent threats.
107
00:03:40,481 --> 00:03:42,352
Let's do it, go.
108
00:03:43,288 --> 00:03:45,231
LAPD. Who wants to go to jail?
109
00:03:45,316 --> 00:03:46,522
Put it down.
110
00:03:46,607 --> 00:03:47,959
Hey, hey! Put it down!
111
00:03:48,184 --> 00:03:49,232
Turn around.
112
00:03:49,316 --> 00:03:50,411
Give me your hands.
113
00:03:50,496 --> 00:03:52,236
Put it down. Make me.
114
00:03:53,972 --> 00:03:55,630
Let's go.
115
00:03:55,715 --> 00:03:57,283
I'm coming.
116
00:03:59,195 --> 00:04:00,808
You got him? Yes, sir.
117
00:04:00,892 --> 00:04:02,083
Thanks.
118
00:04:02,263 --> 00:04:04,103
Open the cash register!
You know you can do it.
119
00:04:04,374 --> 00:04:06,249
- I-I can't! I don't have keys.
- Do it!
120
00:04:06,333 --> 00:04:08,425
I got two suspects
with crowbars.
121
00:04:08,509 --> 00:04:10,862
LAPD! Drop the crowbar. Cops!
122
00:04:12,861 --> 00:04:14,170
Powell, with me.
123
00:04:14,644 --> 00:04:18,169
Got a shortcut. Powell!
124
00:04:22,305 --> 00:04:24,220
Don't shoot!
I work here. Please!
125
00:04:30,357 --> 00:04:32,362
Suspect's down.
126
00:04:32,884 --> 00:04:34,416
You can't just take off
like that.
127
00:04:34,501 --> 00:04:36,148
You don't know what could've
been behind that door.
128
00:04:36,232 --> 00:04:38,194
Relax.
We got the guy, didn't we?
129
00:04:38,278 --> 00:04:41,025
25-David. We're circling
around to the stockroom access.
130
00:04:42,225 --> 00:04:44,230
26-David.
131
00:04:44,594 --> 00:04:45,554
We've got gunfire.
132
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:46,988
30-David, responding.
133
00:04:47,196 --> 00:04:49,332
LAPD. Drop the gun!
134
00:04:50,377 --> 00:04:55,123
Whoa, check fire,
Deac, to your right!
135
00:04:55,207 --> 00:04:56,386
Moving.
136
00:04:56,470 --> 00:04:59,127
Hondo, armed male suspect
heading your way.
137
00:04:59,211 --> 00:05:01,388
Wounded, left arm.
138
00:05:09,697 --> 00:05:11,264
Suspect down.
139
00:05:11,735 --> 00:05:13,435
Clear.
140
00:05:13,965 --> 00:05:15,576
Got a body down.
141
00:05:18,012 --> 00:05:19,190
She's gone.
142
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,307
Deacon, that's
the direction we fired from.
143
00:05:21,971 --> 00:05:23,260
Do you think it's possible...?
144
00:05:23,458 --> 00:05:25,268
It might've been my shot.
145
00:05:28,410 --> 00:05:29,456
Cover!
146
00:05:30,858 --> 00:05:32,207
He's got a kid.
147
00:05:32,728 --> 00:05:34,124
Back off!
148
00:05:34,209 --> 00:05:36,526
This is LAPD. We got
the place surrounded.
149
00:05:36,611 --> 00:05:38,050
You let that kid go.
150
00:05:38,135 --> 00:05:39,042
If you're really a cop,
151
00:05:39,127 --> 00:05:40,393
then we're on the same side.
152
00:05:40,485 --> 00:05:42,542
This is Sergeant Harrelson,
LAPD SWAT.
153
00:05:42,777 --> 00:05:45,432
You put that gun down,
nobody gets hurt.
154
00:05:47,167 --> 00:05:48,440
Okay.
155
00:05:48,815 --> 00:05:50,120
I'm putting my gun down.
156
00:05:50,430 --> 00:05:51,910
Slowly.
157
00:05:54,963 --> 00:05:56,659
Tan, move in.
158
00:05:59,141 --> 00:06:00,621
Keep your hands up.
159
00:06:02,274 --> 00:06:03,191
Purdue?
160
00:06:03,275 --> 00:06:05,063
It's okay, Hunter.
161
00:06:05,147 --> 00:06:07,152
- They're police.
- Good.
162
00:06:07,236 --> 00:06:08,371
You know this guy?
163
00:06:08,455 --> 00:06:10,195
Yeah, he's my bodyguard.
164
00:06:20,099 --> 00:06:21,732
She was an employee.
165
00:06:22,426 --> 00:06:24,738
Only wrong choice she made
was coming into work today.
166
00:06:24,823 --> 00:06:26,029
How is that fair?
167
00:06:26,864 --> 00:06:29,326
We got 14 shoplifters
in custody.
168
00:06:30,248 --> 00:06:31,740
Injury count's
still climbing.
169
00:06:32,011 --> 00:06:34,353
Don't think there'll be any more
flash mob robberies for a while.
170
00:06:34,437 --> 00:06:36,094
Talk to me about
the bodyguard.
171
00:06:36,178 --> 00:06:38,096
His name's
Roger Purdue.
172
00:06:38,180 --> 00:06:39,750
His protectee
is Hunter Wright.
173
00:06:39,834 --> 00:06:42,405
The kid's a VIP.
His father's Gregory Wright.
174
00:06:42,489 --> 00:06:44,407
Big-time real estate developer.Yeah.
175
00:06:44,491 --> 00:06:45,756
Purdue was part
of the gunfight?
176
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:47,410
Claimed it was self-defense.
177
00:06:47,494 --> 00:06:48,976
According to Purdue,
the guy we took down
178
00:06:49,060 --> 00:06:50,587
is one of four
masked gunmen.
179
00:06:50,671 --> 00:06:53,024
Tan's pulling
the security tapes to confirm.
180
00:06:53,108 --> 00:06:55,243
Commander?
181
00:06:56,069 --> 00:06:57,865
May I have a word?
182
00:06:58,287 --> 00:07:00,245
Yeah.
183
00:07:01,029 --> 00:07:03,861
Um... I spoke to Hondo.
184
00:07:04,457 --> 00:07:05,731
This fatality...
185
00:07:05,888 --> 00:07:08,689
- She might've been caught in the crossfire.
- Mm-hmm.
186
00:07:09,994 --> 00:07:11,529
There's a possibility...
187
00:07:12,380 --> 00:07:13,751
it's my fatality.
188
00:07:13,836 --> 00:07:15,231
Oh.
189
00:07:15,427 --> 00:07:16,743
All right.
190
00:07:16,827 --> 00:07:19,116
Well, you're benched until
the ballistic report comes back,
191
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,702
effective immediately.
Give RHD
192
00:07:20,787 --> 00:07:22,182
your statement
and your weaponry.
193
00:07:22,712 --> 00:07:24,240
Yeah.
194
00:07:32,399 --> 00:07:33,891
Sir?
195
00:07:34,141 --> 00:07:35,632
An unarmed Black girl
196
00:07:35,716 --> 00:07:37,721
shot by a white cop.
If it's true...
197
00:07:37,805 --> 00:07:39,853
I don't need to tell you
how bad this could get.
198
00:07:39,937 --> 00:07:41,289
Let me worry about that.
199
00:07:41,373 --> 00:07:42,563
We don't have all the facts.
200
00:07:42,648 --> 00:07:44,516
Speculation is not
gonna help Deacon.
201
00:07:44,601 --> 00:07:45,727
Or that young woman.
202
00:07:45,812 --> 00:07:47,601
And once you guys pull the
security tapes, you can turn
203
00:07:47,685 --> 00:07:48,776
over the scene.
204
00:07:49,228 --> 00:07:51,838
No video.
Store's security cameras
205
00:07:51,923 --> 00:07:53,956
all lost power two minutes
before the looting started.
206
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,479
That didn't happen at any of
the other flash mob robberies.
207
00:07:56,563 --> 00:07:58,916
Yeah, it gets stranger.
Witnesses saw four gunmen,
208
00:07:59,001 --> 00:08:00,564
confirmed they were
armed and aggressive.
209
00:08:00,648 --> 00:08:02,265
But none of them were
carrying any merchandise.
210
00:08:02,349 --> 00:08:03,527
True for the guy we saw, too.
211
00:08:03,612 --> 00:08:05,212
No shopping bag, just a gun.
212
00:08:05,297 --> 00:08:07,650
Why come to a flash mob robbery
and not steal anything?
213
00:08:07,735 --> 00:08:09,230
Maybe they weren't here
to steal.
214
00:08:09,314 --> 00:08:11,363
Now Hunter is
a high-value target.
215
00:08:11,447 --> 00:08:13,055
What if the gunmen are
after him?
216
00:08:13,140 --> 00:08:15,260
Hunter had an appointment with
a stylist. They could've known
217
00:08:15,344 --> 00:08:16,654
exactly what time
he was gonna be here.
218
00:08:16,738 --> 00:08:18,482
And used the flash mob
thing as a diversion?
219
00:08:18,567 --> 00:08:20,947
It wouldn't be hard to get
a rumor going on social media,
220
00:08:21,032 --> 00:08:22,799
whip up a crowd to help cover
your real crime.
221
00:08:22,883 --> 00:08:25,307
Figure they could grab up Hunter and
get away before the cops came.
222
00:08:25,391 --> 00:08:27,814
They just didn't realize
we were already here.
223
00:08:27,898 --> 00:08:29,639
Hey, Purdue?
224
00:08:31,603 --> 00:08:33,972
Has Hunter been the target
of any threats recently?
225
00:08:34,057 --> 00:08:35,212
Yes.
226
00:08:35,297 --> 00:08:37,258
His father doesn't play around
when it comes to business.
227
00:08:37,342 --> 00:08:39,304
Lots of angry letters
and phone calls.
228
00:08:39,388 --> 00:08:40,696
There was an incident
last week.
229
00:08:40,780 --> 00:08:42,306
Someone broke
into his dorm.
230
00:08:42,390 --> 00:08:43,917
A kidnapping attempt? Couldn't rule it out.
231
00:08:44,001 --> 00:08:46,398
Mr. Wright has no shortage
of motivated enemies.
232
00:08:46,482 --> 00:08:48,182
We're gonna need
those letters.
233
00:08:48,266 --> 00:08:49,423
All call recordings.
234
00:08:49,524 --> 00:08:51,795
I recommend you and Hunter
come back to SWAT headquarters.
235
00:08:51,879 --> 00:08:54,406
- Is that necessary?
- Well, if these gunmen staged
236
00:08:54,490 --> 00:08:56,016
an event this bold
to get Hunter,
237
00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:57,931
they're going to strike
again, faster and harder.
238
00:08:58,015 --> 00:09:00,496
LAPD can't risk that.
239
00:09:45,005 --> 00:09:48,236
Hunter Wright's family is
secure. Mom's coming in now.
240
00:09:48,321 --> 00:09:50,658
And Dad accepted
our protective detail.
241
00:09:50,743 --> 00:09:51,869
Smart move.
242
00:09:51,954 --> 00:09:53,831
Some serious haters in these
threat letters, from
243
00:09:53,915 --> 00:09:55,925
environmental activists
to other developers.
244
00:09:56,024 --> 00:09:57,924
The gunmen could be
working for any of 'em.
245
00:09:58,009 --> 00:09:59,622
We're running some partial
prints and tracing some
246
00:09:59,706 --> 00:10:01,986
phone numbers, but
nothing in these messages
247
00:10:02,071 --> 00:10:03,757
points directly
to today's attack.
248
00:10:03,841 --> 00:10:06,020
Okay, I got an ID on the
gunman that Hondo brought down.
249
00:10:06,104 --> 00:10:07,325
Simon Cong.
250
00:10:07,409 --> 00:10:10,002
Immigrated from
China on a student visa.
251
00:10:10,087 --> 00:10:12,330
Worked as a bouncer until
about six months ago. Yeah.
252
00:10:12,414 --> 00:10:15,111
The bar owner he worked for
said Cong was kind of a loner.
253
00:10:15,196 --> 00:10:17,596
He didn't know much
about him. China. Hang on.
254
00:10:18,438 --> 00:10:20,916
Gregory Wright broke ground
on a luxury hotel
255
00:10:21,001 --> 00:10:22,197
in Beijing last year.
256
00:10:22,282 --> 00:10:23,978
Was supposed to be
low-income housing,
257
00:10:24,063 --> 00:10:25,779
but Wright made
a big bid on the land.
258
00:10:25,863 --> 00:10:27,290
He upset a lot of locals.
259
00:10:27,375 --> 00:10:28,825
So kidnapping Hunter
could be some kind
260
00:10:28,909 --> 00:10:30,566
of protest or payback.
261
00:10:30,650 --> 00:10:32,688
Yeah, but we need
more concrete info.
262
00:10:32,954 --> 00:10:34,044
There's three other gunmen.
263
00:10:34,566 --> 00:10:36,094
We ID them,
we find them
264
00:10:36,179 --> 00:10:38,159
- before they strike again.
- Okay, security cameras
265
00:10:38,243 --> 00:10:40,010
were down before they arrived
in the store.
266
00:10:40,095 --> 00:10:41,816
Yeah, but those weren't the only
cameras in the building.
267
00:10:41,900 --> 00:10:43,818
There were dozens of shoppers
with cell phones.
268
00:10:43,902 --> 00:10:45,627
RHD collected recorded videos
269
00:10:45,712 --> 00:10:47,088
along with people's
witness statements.
270
00:10:47,172 --> 00:10:49,438
And we have two dozen
shoplifters in custody.
271
00:10:49,523 --> 00:10:51,180
Their phones are
in an evidence locker.
272
00:10:51,265 --> 00:10:53,727
People are dumb enough to film
themselves committing a crime.
273
00:10:53,812 --> 00:10:54,908
Anything to boost the 'Gram.
274
00:10:54,992 --> 00:10:56,432
All right, get the phones,
pull the video,
275
00:10:56,516 --> 00:10:57,996
and find those IDs.
276
00:11:01,592 --> 00:11:03,766
Tan's working on more IDs
for the rest of the gunmen.
277
00:11:03,851 --> 00:11:05,634
Collecting footage
of the robbery now.Great.
278
00:11:05,719 --> 00:11:07,594
Oh, hey, uh, real quick?
279
00:11:07,731 --> 00:11:10,188
Speaking of the
robbery, uh...
280
00:11:10,407 --> 00:11:12,543
I kind of wanted to talk
to you about something.
281
00:11:12,954 --> 00:11:14,675
Powell ignored orders,
didn't she?
282
00:11:14,759 --> 00:11:16,369
Now it's not the first time
she's been dinged
283
00:11:16,453 --> 00:11:17,589
for being reckless.
Come to think of it,
284
00:11:17,673 --> 00:11:18,736
it's not the second time,
either.
285
00:11:18,820 --> 00:11:20,433
That's why I wanted to talk.
286
00:11:20,894 --> 00:11:23,596
I corrected her in the field,
but she didn't get the issue.
287
00:11:23,681 --> 00:11:25,207
But, see,
that is the issue.
288
00:11:25,345 --> 00:11:27,698
Mistakes happen, but she is
not learning from them, Street.
289
00:11:27,993 --> 00:11:29,977
Now my team needs
to be able to rely on her.
290
00:11:30,062 --> 00:11:31,588
- But right now...
- I know, I know.
291
00:11:31,673 --> 00:11:34,165
So I was thinking maybe
you can talk to her.
292
00:11:34,250 --> 00:11:36,212
Drop some Hondo
wisdom. Look.
293
00:11:36,414 --> 00:11:37,876
Powell is stubborn,
294
00:11:37,961 --> 00:11:40,140
but I really do think that
she's worth investing in.
295
00:11:40,759 --> 00:11:42,485
All right, then you do it.
296
00:11:42,570 --> 00:11:43,899
I tried. You try again.
297
00:11:43,984 --> 00:11:45,385
You're not in the heat
of the moment right now.
298
00:11:45,469 --> 00:11:47,228
So you've got some time
to go dig into her.
299
00:11:47,313 --> 00:11:48,774
If we can figure out
300
00:11:48,859 --> 00:11:51,782
why Powell does what she does,
then maybe we can fix it.
301
00:11:51,938 --> 00:11:53,334
And I'm starting to think
you might be
302
00:11:53,418 --> 00:11:54,987
the only one
who can get her to open up.
303
00:11:55,187 --> 00:11:56,540
Okay.
304
00:11:56,625 --> 00:11:58,235
Hey, Hondo?
305
00:11:59,174 --> 00:12:01,397
Thanks. Don't thank me yet.
306
00:12:01,482 --> 00:12:03,573
If Powell doesn't make changes
and follow procedure,
307
00:12:03,658 --> 00:12:06,051
I will bounce her,
before somebody gets hurt.
308
00:12:39,575 --> 00:12:41,798
Ballistics report came back
309
00:12:41,883 --> 00:12:43,986
from the bullet pulled from
the dead employee's wound.
310
00:12:44,070 --> 00:12:45,837
Okay.
311
00:12:46,844 --> 00:12:49,259
It didn't match any
of SWAT's rounds.
312
00:12:52,056 --> 00:12:53,753
Okay.
313
00:12:57,404 --> 00:12:59,711
Um, her name?
314
00:13:01,484 --> 00:13:03,501
Her name was La To ya Turner.
315
00:13:06,185 --> 00:13:08,625
She'd worked at Coleson's
for five years.
316
00:13:09,169 --> 00:13:11,566
Started as a... stylist,
317
00:13:11,659 --> 00:13:13,384
worked her way
up to a buyer.
318
00:13:13,469 --> 00:13:15,866
You're not responsible
for her death, Deacon.
319
00:13:16,185 --> 00:13:17,751
She was, no, she was just
320
00:13:17,836 --> 00:13:19,837
- in the wrong place at the wrong time.
- Yeah.
321
00:13:21,794 --> 00:13:24,469
Those are the ones that
eat at me the most.
322
00:13:24,610 --> 00:13:26,484
As they should.
323
00:13:26,569 --> 00:13:28,139
20-Squad's tracking the IDs
324
00:13:28,224 --> 00:13:30,055
of the other gunmen.
325
00:13:30,373 --> 00:13:32,368
Do you need
some time, or...
326
00:13:32,453 --> 00:13:34,716
you want me to clear you
back into the field?
327
00:13:42,951 --> 00:13:44,303
Clear me.
328
00:13:44,387 --> 00:13:45,493
All right.
329
00:13:45,578 --> 00:13:46,962
I want to get these guys.
330
00:13:47,047 --> 00:13:49,791
And give La To ya Turner
some justice.
331
00:13:49,876 --> 00:13:51,094
Good.
332
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,938
Any luck identifying
the other gunmen?
333
00:14:02,023 --> 00:14:03,810
No, but I need to show
you guys something.
334
00:14:03,961 --> 00:14:05,665
I think we got their
motives all wrong.
335
00:14:05,781 --> 00:14:06,829
I'm listening.
336
00:14:06,914 --> 00:14:09,040
All right, so the gunmen
stay masked the whole time.
337
00:14:09,438 --> 00:14:11,591
I was able to organize
all the videos
338
00:14:11,675 --> 00:14:13,201
into a rough
chronological order.
339
00:14:13,285 --> 00:14:15,943
There's Hunter Wright, but
the crew moves right past him.
340
00:14:16,027 --> 00:14:17,902
There's no way
they missed seeing him.
341
00:14:17,986 --> 00:14:19,991
So we were wrong.
They weren't after Hunter. These guys didn't engage
342
00:14:20,075 --> 00:14:21,949
with Hunter's
security intentionally.
343
00:14:22,033 --> 00:14:23,611
So if the gunmen
weren't there for the kid,
344
00:14:23,695 --> 00:14:25,222
- what were they after?
- Don't know yet.
345
00:14:25,306 --> 00:14:26,641
Now as the robbery goes on,
346
00:14:26,726 --> 00:14:28,731
the store continues to
clear out, they disappear
347
00:14:28,816 --> 00:14:30,001
from view a couple times.
348
00:14:30,086 --> 00:14:32,157
But I think I see them
in the back of this clip.
349
00:14:32,242 --> 00:14:33,855
I was gonna blow it up...
350
00:14:34,374 --> 00:14:35,766
Right there.
351
00:14:35,868 --> 00:14:38,419
They grabbed someone and that
was definitely a gunshot.
352
00:14:40,219 --> 00:14:41,834
It's La To ya Turner.
353
00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:43,663
That's the woman who was killed.
354
00:14:44,099 --> 00:14:45,985
We assume she was hit
with a stray bullet,
355
00:14:46,070 --> 00:14:47,243
but she was the target.
356
00:14:47,328 --> 00:14:49,188
These guys could've
killed La To ya anywhere.
357
00:14:49,452 --> 00:14:50,891
Instead they engineered
358
00:14:50,976 --> 00:14:52,884
an entire flash mob robbery
to cover it up.
359
00:14:52,969 --> 00:14:54,944
Which means whatever the
connection is between La To ya
360
00:14:55,028 --> 00:14:56,859
and these gunmen, they
wanted it kept secret.
361
00:14:56,944 --> 00:14:59,563
Wait, I found video of
La To ya during the robbery.
362
00:14:59,683 --> 00:15:01,266
They found me.
363
00:15:01,464 --> 00:15:03,164
Just go!
Get out of the apartment now.
364
00:15:03,248 --> 00:15:05,297
The apartment.
She's talking to someone that
365
00:15:05,381 --> 00:15:06,994
isn't at the store, which means,
that there's someone else.
366
00:15:07,078 --> 00:15:08,736
There's another person that
these gunmen are after.
367
00:15:08,820 --> 00:15:10,379
Tan, trace the number
La To ya called.
368
00:15:10,464 --> 00:15:11,817
I'll let Commander Hicks
know that Hunter
369
00:15:11,901 --> 00:15:13,385
and his family can leave
protective custody.
370
00:15:13,469 --> 00:15:15,048
I'll look into
LaToya's background.
371
00:15:15,133 --> 00:15:17,225
See if I can find out why
someone wanted her dead.
372
00:15:17,568 --> 00:15:20,527
They found me. Just go!
Get out of the apartment!
373
00:15:24,206 --> 00:15:25,950
Hey, I got this. All right.
374
00:15:26,058 --> 00:15:27,266
- How are you?
- Hi!
375
00:15:27,351 --> 00:15:29,774
We got our hands full
with that flash mob robbery,
376
00:15:29,884 --> 00:15:31,410
but Hondo said you might
come by for me.
377
00:15:31,494 --> 00:15:32,680
- I'll be quick.
- Mm-hmm.
378
00:15:32,765 --> 00:15:34,813
I started working in the
inspector general's office.
379
00:15:34,898 --> 00:15:37,556
Yeah. And we're reviewing the
Good Neighbor program.
380
00:15:37,641 --> 00:15:39,321
Wanted to ask you
about your experience.
381
00:15:39,406 --> 00:15:41,272
You know what,
using it might be
382
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,231
the best decision
I ever made as a cop.
383
00:15:43,316 --> 00:15:44,668
I mean,
I'm part of a block.
384
00:15:44,845 --> 00:15:47,821
Makes me think differently
about people, be more open.
385
00:15:48,110 --> 00:15:49,950
What are you guys doing
with the program?
386
00:15:50,034 --> 00:15:52,493
Actually, we're debating
ending it.
387
00:15:52,609 --> 00:15:54,024
Why?
388
00:15:54,282 --> 00:15:57,259
Look, after Street and I moved
in, our neighborhood got safer.
389
00:15:57,344 --> 00:15:58,790
People don't try
as much shady stuff,
390
00:15:58,875 --> 00:16:00,244
'cause they know we're
there looking out for them.
391
00:16:00,328 --> 00:16:02,407
If the officers stick around,
then, yes,
392
00:16:02,492 --> 00:16:03,801
the program is effective.
393
00:16:03,935 --> 00:16:06,212
Problem is,
there are a lot of cops
394
00:16:06,297 --> 00:16:08,128
who use the program
to get a cheap house,
395
00:16:08,213 --> 00:16:10,044
stay exactly
as long as they have to,
396
00:16:10,129 --> 00:16:11,555
and then sell
for a big profit.
397
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,931
Yeah, sure, the contract only
makes you stay for two years,
398
00:16:14,015 --> 00:16:16,516
- I bet that some cops move on...
- A lot of cops.
399
00:16:16,639 --> 00:16:18,236
I've been reviewing
the data all morning.
400
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,260
But you know there are
officers out there like me,
401
00:16:20,344 --> 00:16:21,736
who believe in the
Good Neighbor program.
402
00:16:21,820 --> 00:16:23,142
I can put you in touch
with some of them.
403
00:16:23,226 --> 00:16:25,766
I-I'd be happy to hear
from other participants,
404
00:16:26,007 --> 00:16:28,491
but I don't know, Luca.
I can't deny the stats.
405
00:16:28,576 --> 00:16:30,962
Right now, the initiative is
a waste of resources.
406
00:16:31,384 --> 00:16:33,321
And I owe it
to the inspector general
407
00:16:33,406 --> 00:16:35,150
to make a fair recommendation.
408
00:16:35,235 --> 00:16:36,163
I guess.
409
00:16:36,248 --> 00:16:37,922
Just doesn't seem
like you ever let the numbers
410
00:16:38,006 --> 00:16:39,921
get in the way
of a good idea before.
411
00:16:40,768 --> 00:16:43,554
Okay, I got to go.
412
00:16:56,753 --> 00:16:58,491
Phone number La To ya Turner
413
00:16:58,576 --> 00:17:00,696
called right before she was
killed belongs to a burner
414
00:17:00,780 --> 00:17:02,538
activated three days ago,
but whoever has it
415
00:17:02,665 --> 00:17:04,105
switched the phone off,
so we can't ping it.
416
00:17:04,189 --> 00:17:05,452
I looked further
into La To ya.
417
00:17:05,537 --> 00:17:07,150
No criminal history,
no contact
418
00:17:07,235 --> 00:17:08,858
with anyone even
the tiniest bit shady.
419
00:17:09,042 --> 00:17:10,234
If she's spotless,
why target her?
420
00:17:10,318 --> 00:17:12,443
- Drugs? Maybe gambling debts?
- Well, if she's
421
00:17:12,527 --> 00:17:14,607
got a problem, it's not
showing up in her financials.
422
00:17:14,771 --> 00:17:16,819
But this is.
Three days ago,
423
00:17:16,904 --> 00:17:18,585
a charge to a prepaid
phone company.
424
00:17:18,873 --> 00:17:21,661
That burner you mentioned,
La To ya activated it herself.
425
00:17:21,746 --> 00:17:23,905
That's odd.
And she withdrew some cash, too.
426
00:17:24,085 --> 00:17:25,829
She broke from her
usual routine,
427
00:17:25,913 --> 00:17:27,831
and made two trips to the
grocery store this week.
428
00:17:27,915 --> 00:17:29,920
Plus she used
her work discount
429
00:17:30,004 --> 00:17:31,601
to purchase clothes.
And this emailed receipt
430
00:17:31,685 --> 00:17:33,254
says none of them
are in her size.
431
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,707
Food, clothing, cash.
All basic needs.
432
00:17:35,792 --> 00:17:37,797
We heard her say,
"Get out of the apartment."
433
00:17:37,882 --> 00:17:39,561
What if La To ya is
sheltering someone?
434
00:17:39,646 --> 00:17:41,733
Patrol didn't find anything
unusual at her place.
435
00:17:41,818 --> 00:17:44,741
Well, when LAPD reached out
to notify LaToya's next of kin,
436
00:17:44,932 --> 00:17:46,850
they contacted
her sister, Nicole.
437
00:17:46,934 --> 00:17:48,335
She's a property manager
438
00:17:48,427 --> 00:17:49,898
at an apartment building
in Santa Monica.
439
00:17:49,982 --> 00:17:51,597
In that building,
there is one vacant unit.
440
00:17:51,681 --> 00:17:53,555
Even if La To ya was
stashing someone there,
441
00:17:53,653 --> 00:17:55,092
they're long gone.
442
00:17:55,176 --> 00:17:56,746
They might've left something
behind. I'll call the sister.
443
00:17:56,830 --> 00:17:58,705
If La To ya was borrowing
this unit,
444
00:17:58,789 --> 00:18:01,534
it's worth a shot.Okay.
445
00:18:01,618 --> 00:18:04,145
Empty unit number's 229.
446
00:18:04,229 --> 00:18:06,364
You know, if my sister asked
to borrow a whole apartment,
447
00:18:06,448 --> 00:18:08,366
I'd ask
some follow-up questions.
448
00:18:08,450 --> 00:18:09,890
Busted window.
449
00:18:09,974 --> 00:18:12,153
Looks like
the door's broken, too.
450
00:18:12,237 --> 00:18:14,366
Gunmen must've figured out
LaToya's shelter spot.
451
00:18:14,452 --> 00:18:16,474
Could still be inside.
452
00:18:16,559 --> 00:18:18,390
Stay sharp.
453
00:18:18,761 --> 00:18:21,201
Hey! Hold up!
454
00:18:21,285 --> 00:18:22,637
- We got a rabbit!
- Go.
455
00:18:22,721 --> 00:18:24,335
30-David, we got a solo runner
456
00:18:24,420 --> 00:18:26,425
heading east
on Montana.
457
00:18:26,682 --> 00:18:28,085
Hold up!
458
00:18:32,514 --> 00:18:34,649
Hey! LAPD! Stop running!
459
00:18:34,733 --> 00:18:36,172
Stop!
460
00:18:36,256 --> 00:18:37,483
LAPD.
461
00:18:37,568 --> 00:18:39,007
You're police?
462
00:18:39,264 --> 00:18:40,616
Real police?
463
00:18:40,739 --> 00:18:42,222
I thought you were the guards
464
00:18:42,306 --> 00:18:44,224
- coming back to get me.
- The guards?
465
00:18:44,308 --> 00:18:45,624
From the factory.
466
00:18:45,709 --> 00:18:47,149
You're the person
La To ya sheltered.
467
00:18:47,233 --> 00:18:49,282
The one the gunmen
are looking for.
468
00:18:49,437 --> 00:18:51,572
We've got you.
You're safe now.
469
00:18:51,664 --> 00:18:52,886
But my brother.
470
00:18:52,971 --> 00:18:54,367
We escaped the factory together.
471
00:18:54,537 --> 00:18:56,687
I was out of the apartment
when La To ya called.
472
00:18:56,950 --> 00:18:58,242
When I came back,
473
00:18:58,327 --> 00:19:00,893
I saw them dragging
my brother to a car.
474
00:19:00,977 --> 00:19:02,503
Please.
475
00:19:02,587 --> 00:19:04,546
You have to save him.
476
00:19:12,621 --> 00:19:14,234
The factory that you worked in,
477
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:15,757
- you say you made clothes?
- Yes.
478
00:19:15,897 --> 00:19:18,642
Sewing all day.
Sunup to sundown.
479
00:19:18,734 --> 00:19:21,174
No breaks allowed.
And then they'd say
480
00:19:21,258 --> 00:19:23,655
we messed up
and don't deserve full wages.
481
00:19:23,739 --> 00:19:25,178
Long hours, low pay.
482
00:19:25,263 --> 00:19:26,483
Sounds like a sweatshop.
483
00:19:26,568 --> 00:19:28,269
Hold on, let's go back.
484
00:19:28,744 --> 00:19:30,030
How did you end up there?
485
00:19:30,115 --> 00:19:32,210
A man said he'd help us
immigrate from China.
486
00:19:32,443 --> 00:19:35,616
Promised us work,
a better life.
487
00:19:35,944 --> 00:19:37,383
It was all lies.
488
00:19:37,468 --> 00:19:39,499
- How many workers are there?
- Eight.
489
00:19:39,584 --> 00:19:41,763
We had to share
two old mattresses to sleep on.
490
00:19:41,906 --> 00:19:43,694
So you couldn't leave
at all?
491
00:19:43,779 --> 00:19:45,697
The guards watch us
every minute.
492
00:19:46,109 --> 00:19:48,549
One time, another girl
tried to get out.
493
00:19:48,633 --> 00:19:49,819
They caught her.
494
00:19:49,904 --> 00:19:52,170
Beat her up. She died.
495
00:19:52,353 --> 00:19:53,357
They killed her?
496
00:19:53,913 --> 00:19:55,121
I don't know.
497
00:19:55,436 --> 00:19:57,203
She was all bloody,
and they took her away
498
00:19:57,288 --> 00:19:59,551
and we never saw her again.
499
00:20:00,317 --> 00:20:02,061
That's what they're gonna do
to my brother.
500
00:20:02,473 --> 00:20:04,460
- You have to save him.
- Hey.
501
00:20:04,627 --> 00:20:07,002
We've got a squad heading to the
address you gave us right now.
502
00:20:07,086 --> 00:20:09,091
If your brother's at that sweatshop,
we'll find him.
503
00:20:09,175 --> 00:20:10,617
The gunmen
from this morning's robbery
504
00:20:10,701 --> 00:20:11,976
could be the sweatshop's guards.
505
00:20:12,060 --> 00:20:14,671
Yeah, but they came to the store
specifically for La To ya.
506
00:20:14,928 --> 00:20:16,968
Did La To ya Turner help you
507
00:20:17,053 --> 00:20:18,405
and your brother escape?
508
00:20:18,490 --> 00:20:20,886
Yes. La To ya is an angel.
509
00:20:21,272 --> 00:20:23,078
She found the factory
when she was picking
510
00:20:23,163 --> 00:20:24,663
new clothes for her store.
511
00:20:24,748 --> 00:20:27,450
I begged her for help,
and she did.
512
00:20:27,740 --> 00:20:30,090
- Is that how you found me?
- Grace?
513
00:20:31,420 --> 00:20:32,917
I'm sorry to tell you this.
514
00:20:33,002 --> 00:20:35,874
Um... La To ya was killed
this morning.
515
00:20:38,217 --> 00:20:40,480
She was in danger
because we escaped.
516
00:20:43,717 --> 00:20:45,671
And now my brother is, too.
517
00:20:49,383 --> 00:20:50,736
Right now,
we got nothing.
518
00:20:50,821 --> 00:20:52,069
Hey, we got a problem.
519
00:20:52,154 --> 00:20:55,031
That factory that Grace pointed us to?
There's no workers,
520
00:20:55,131 --> 00:20:56,639
no equipment,
not even product.
521
00:20:56,744 --> 00:20:58,553
When Grace and Park
disappeared, the guards
522
00:20:58,678 --> 00:21:00,708
must've got spooked,
moved the entire operation.
523
00:21:00,792 --> 00:21:02,188
We have to find them.
524
00:21:02,272 --> 00:21:03,773
Grace said that there are
seven other workers
525
00:21:03,857 --> 00:21:04,862
out there,
including her brother.
526
00:21:04,946 --> 00:21:06,299
Deacon,
the guards are in the wind,
527
00:21:06,383 --> 00:21:07,736
and we don't know if Grace's
brother is even alive.
528
00:21:07,820 --> 00:21:09,272
La To ya Turner was
murdered trying
529
00:21:09,365 --> 00:21:10,673
to help these people.
530
00:21:10,884 --> 00:21:13,092
So I'm sorry, but if
there's a tiny chance
531
00:21:13,196 --> 00:21:16,112
that we can help save them,
we got to take it.
532
00:21:17,038 --> 00:21:18,958
All right, what about
that building they vacated?
533
00:21:19,085 --> 00:21:20,923
- Must've been a name on the lease.
- Shell corporation.
534
00:21:21,007 --> 00:21:23,078
That warehouse was their only
property. It's a dead end.
535
00:21:23,162 --> 00:21:25,124
All right, whoever's
in charge of this sweatshop
536
00:21:25,208 --> 00:21:27,311
obviously covered
their tracks.
537
00:21:27,396 --> 00:21:28,922
Grace was inside.
538
00:21:29,007 --> 00:21:31,077
So maybe she saw something
or heard something...
539
00:21:31,162 --> 00:21:32,946
Right now,
she's our only lead.
540
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:38,703
Did you save Park?
541
00:21:38,826 --> 00:21:40,482
- Can I see him?
- I'm sorry.
542
00:21:40,715 --> 00:21:43,327
We sent a team to the sweatshop,
but no one was there.
543
00:21:44,053 --> 00:21:45,905
It's my fault.
544
00:21:47,659 --> 00:21:49,707
I should have protected him.
545
00:21:49,792 --> 00:21:52,320
Hey, we are still looking
for your brother.
546
00:21:52,888 --> 00:21:54,806
We just need
to find another way.
547
00:21:54,897 --> 00:21:56,721
Grace...
548
00:21:57,444 --> 00:21:59,663
I need you to think
about the guards.
549
00:22:00,124 --> 00:22:02,944
Was there a leader or a boss?
550
00:22:04,203 --> 00:22:05,947
I didn't like looking
at him too long.
551
00:22:06,608 --> 00:22:07,819
He was scary.
552
00:22:07,903 --> 00:22:09,303
Yelled at us.
553
00:22:09,388 --> 00:22:11,348
Did you ever hear him talking
to the other guards?
554
00:22:11,999 --> 00:22:13,346
Maybe they mentioned his name?
555
00:22:13,430 --> 00:22:14,869
No.
556
00:22:14,953 --> 00:22:16,479
He only ever talk about work.
557
00:22:16,865 --> 00:22:18,631
How many pieces
we make in a day.
558
00:22:18,716 --> 00:22:20,420
How we need to do more. Uh...
559
00:22:20,505 --> 00:22:22,181
money and clothes, that's
all he ever talk about.
560
00:22:22,265 --> 00:22:23,538
Wait, the clothes.
561
00:22:23,850 --> 00:22:25,358
If we can ID the clothing
562
00:22:25,443 --> 00:22:27,230
the sweatshop was making,
563
00:22:27,315 --> 00:22:28,780
we can go talk to the brand.
564
00:22:29,054 --> 00:22:30,554
They'd know who was
running the factory.
565
00:22:30,638 --> 00:22:32,178
Did you ever sew a tag?
566
00:22:32,263 --> 00:22:34,007
Or-or maybe see a logo?
567
00:22:34,247 --> 00:22:36,654
I didn't attach the tags.
568
00:22:36,758 --> 00:22:38,584
Uh, sometimes there was
569
00:22:38,669 --> 00:22:40,587
a little T
on the shirts,
570
00:22:40,892 --> 00:22:42,569
but it didn't look
that special.
571
00:22:42,696 --> 00:22:43,842
It's something.
572
00:22:43,927 --> 00:22:45,710
And I know a guy
who might be able to help us.
573
00:22:45,794 --> 00:22:48,147
All right, well,
let's run with it and find out.
574
00:22:48,507 --> 00:22:49,511
Grace?
575
00:22:49,596 --> 00:22:51,340
Can you draw
the logo for me?
576
00:22:51,439 --> 00:22:53,833
And anything else you remember
about the clothes?
577
00:22:57,616 --> 00:23:00,140
Hey.Hey.
578
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,584
Tan took Luca to meet some
old C.I. from his Vice days.
579
00:23:04,897 --> 00:23:06,573
They think this guy
can ID the brand
580
00:23:06,657 --> 00:23:09,184
- that's using the sweatshop.
- Cool.
581
00:23:09,284 --> 00:23:11,721
We need to talk through
what happened this morning.
582
00:23:13,194 --> 00:23:15,109
Not this again.
583
00:23:15,666 --> 00:23:18,628
You went through a door alone,
not knowing
584
00:23:18,712 --> 00:23:20,456
what was on the other side. Sure I did.
585
00:23:20,665 --> 00:23:22,545
It was a stockroom, a shortcut.
586
00:23:22,629 --> 00:23:25,228
There could've been suspects
587
00:23:25,313 --> 00:23:27,399
hiding in there,
waiting to ambush you.
588
00:23:27,484 --> 00:23:30,074
They weren't going to ambush me.
They were suburban moms
589
00:23:30,159 --> 00:23:31,790
grabbing free perfume.
590
00:23:31,875 --> 00:23:33,904
You always think you know
better than procedure.
591
00:23:33,989 --> 00:23:35,733
But it says we stick together
592
00:23:35,993 --> 00:23:37,438
for a reason.
593
00:23:38,071 --> 00:23:39,867
You probably pulled my records
594
00:23:39,952 --> 00:23:42,890
already,
but before I was LAPD,
595
00:23:42,998 --> 00:23:44,524
I worked
in the sheriff's department.
596
00:23:44,743 --> 00:23:46,626
No, I-I never
read your file.
597
00:23:46,871 --> 00:23:48,563
Well, I worked
search and rescue.
598
00:23:48,813 --> 00:23:51,899
My partner, Gabe,
had been on the job 20 years.
599
00:23:52,008 --> 00:23:54,012
Real... dad energy.
600
00:23:54,362 --> 00:23:56,410
Loved the outdoors.
601
00:23:56,696 --> 00:23:58,116
And the rules.
602
00:23:58,232 --> 00:24:00,323
- What happened?
- Got called out
603
00:24:00,408 --> 00:24:02,218
to an injured climber
stuck on a cliff face.
604
00:24:02,365 --> 00:24:04,892
Gabe went up,
rocks were sliding around.
605
00:24:04,976 --> 00:24:06,704
And I had a weird feeling.
606
00:24:06,805 --> 00:24:09,243
So I told him to forget
about attaching
607
00:24:09,328 --> 00:24:11,290
the extra lines,
get the guy down now.
608
00:24:11,374 --> 00:24:13,665
But Gabe followed
every procedure to the letter,
609
00:24:13,750 --> 00:24:17,017
so he was still up there when
the whole cliff face gave way.
610
00:24:17,242 --> 00:24:19,571
Climber died.
Gabe might as well have.
611
00:24:19,689 --> 00:24:21,343
Spinal cord injury.
612
00:24:21,427 --> 00:24:23,650
Lives in a hospital now.
613
00:24:23,734 --> 00:24:25,978
I'm sorry. That-that
must've been really hard.
614
00:24:26,063 --> 00:24:28,423
If he would've listened to me,
they would've been safe.
615
00:24:28,521 --> 00:24:31,963
It was the protocol,
made up in some boardroom
616
00:24:32,047 --> 00:24:33,721
to cover liability
or whatever.
617
00:24:33,806 --> 00:24:35,314
I'll never let nonsense
like that get
618
00:24:35,398 --> 00:24:37,055
in the way of me
doing actual good again.
619
00:24:37,139 --> 00:24:38,868
Powell, just hold
on a sec... hey!
620
00:24:38,953 --> 00:24:41,172
Hey, just wait a second.
621
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,861
Look, what happened to Gabe,
that was not your fault.
622
00:24:46,971 --> 00:24:48,715
But you keep
this attitude up,
623
00:24:48,868 --> 00:24:51,156
you will hurt someone
or worse.
624
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,939
Look, you've been
lucky so far.
625
00:24:53,096 --> 00:24:55,515
But I don't want me
or anyone on 20-Squad
626
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,515
around when that
luck runs out.
627
00:25:11,551 --> 00:25:15,614
Nichelle.Theo. Thank you
for meeting me before tonight.
628
00:25:16,308 --> 00:25:18,226
I just wanted to
run some thoughts
629
00:25:18,310 --> 00:25:20,185
past another O.I.G. auditor.
630
00:25:20,620 --> 00:25:22,183
What did you want to talk about?
631
00:25:22,268 --> 00:25:23,792
The Good Neighborprogram.
632
00:25:23,877 --> 00:25:26,393
I've been talking to some
officers who've used it,
633
00:25:26,573 --> 00:25:29,716
and they are passionate
about how well it works.
634
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:30,799
I'm sure they are.
635
00:25:30,884 --> 00:25:32,454
And they're not alone.
636
00:25:32,539 --> 00:25:33,949
I know what the stats are,
637
00:25:34,034 --> 00:25:36,605
but I think
we should consider
638
00:25:37,385 --> 00:25:39,377
recommending
the program continue,
639
00:25:39,462 --> 00:25:42,207
maybe with some more
provisions.
640
00:25:42,456 --> 00:25:45,384
Look,
I told the inspector general
641
00:25:45,469 --> 00:25:47,596
that bringing you in was
a mistake, but even I thought
642
00:25:47,731 --> 00:25:50,041
you'd wait for a bit
to start roadblocking us.
643
00:25:50,125 --> 00:25:51,268
Excuse me?
644
00:25:51,353 --> 00:25:54,026
- You're a cop's girlfriend.
- The inspector general
645
00:25:54,111 --> 00:25:55,915
knew that
when she offered me the job.
646
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,918
Sure, she's fine with it.
647
00:25:58,206 --> 00:25:59,964
Doesn't mean the rest of us are.
648
00:26:00,048 --> 00:26:01,542
I mean,
649
00:26:01,627 --> 00:26:03,417
you live with this guy, right?
650
00:26:03,713 --> 00:26:04,882
You talk shop with him?
651
00:26:04,966 --> 00:26:07,355
Uh, Hondo doesn't dictate
my opinions.
652
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:08,189
Still,
653
00:26:08,273 --> 00:26:09,669
it makes me wonder
what you're doing
654
00:26:09,753 --> 00:26:11,540
in the inspector general's
office.
655
00:26:11,624 --> 00:26:13,760
You're basically a spy
for the cops.
656
00:26:13,845 --> 00:26:15,761
Not at all. I can be objective.
657
00:26:15,846 --> 00:26:17,764
We're standing
in SWAT's headquarters
658
00:26:17,848 --> 00:26:19,151
at your request.
659
00:26:19,236 --> 00:26:23,464
Theo, I asked you here
because it's closer
660
00:26:23,549 --> 00:26:25,685
to your office
than my South L.A.
661
00:26:25,769 --> 00:26:26,328
community
662
00:26:26,412 --> 00:26:27,339
center.
663
00:26:27,424 --> 00:26:29,602
But you're telling me you want
to rubber-stamp an LAPD program?
664
00:26:29,686 --> 00:26:31,256
Well, not because
it's a cop thing.
665
00:26:31,340 --> 00:26:32,997
Because I think
there's more to the story
666
00:26:33,081 --> 00:26:34,433
than what the numbers say.
667
00:26:34,517 --> 00:26:36,087
Did you decide that before
668
00:26:36,171 --> 00:26:39,285
or after talking to the officers
who are so passionate about it?
669
00:26:39,370 --> 00:26:41,114
And be honest,
were any of these guys
670
00:26:41,199 --> 00:26:43,375
your boyfriend's buddies?
671
00:26:45,823 --> 00:26:49,653
Like I said,
bringing you in was a bad idea.
672
00:26:57,379 --> 00:27:00,458
A Fashion District connection
named Snazzy B?
673
00:27:00,543 --> 00:27:02,271
It's almost too perfect, bro.
674
00:27:02,356 --> 00:27:03,636
Know him from
my Vice days.
675
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,116
The merch might
all be counterfeit,
676
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,465
but the style's
all cutting edge.
677
00:27:06,549 --> 00:27:07,988
Let's just hope
he can ID the brand
678
00:27:08,072 --> 00:27:08,887
that was using the sweatshop.
679
00:27:08,972 --> 00:27:09,976
Officer Tan.Hey.
680
00:27:10,216 --> 00:27:11,394
Black on black?
681
00:27:11,479 --> 00:27:12,918
How boring.
682
00:27:13,003 --> 00:27:15,037
Yeah, function over style, man.
This is Officer Luca.
683
00:27:15,121 --> 00:27:16,965
What up? What up, man?
What's up?
684
00:27:17,059 --> 00:27:18,294
Yeah, I need you
to take a look at this
685
00:27:18,378 --> 00:27:19,671
and tell me
if you recognize the logo
686
00:27:19,755 --> 00:27:21,195
or any
of these clothing designs.
687
00:27:21,303 --> 00:27:23,525
Hmm. How about
while I look this over,
688
00:27:23,609 --> 00:27:27,225
you fellas look these over?
689
00:27:27,309 --> 00:27:28,704
Yeah.
690
00:27:28,788 --> 00:27:30,837
No, thanks, man.
I'm gonna spend my money,
691
00:27:30,922 --> 00:27:32,162
it's gonna be on something real.
692
00:27:32,246 --> 00:27:33,405
They really tell time
693
00:27:33,489 --> 00:27:36,277
and shade your eyes.
It's the consumer
694
00:27:36,361 --> 00:27:38,265
who decides how much
a brand name is worth.
695
00:27:38,350 --> 00:27:40,740
It's worth something to you, you
took the trouble to spoof it.
696
00:27:40,824 --> 00:27:42,652
He's got you there, man.
697
00:27:44,083 --> 00:27:45,348
Huh.
698
00:27:45,433 --> 00:27:47,351
This logo, this letter T,
plus the,
699
00:27:47,609 --> 00:27:49,725
uh, drapey tops...
700
00:27:49,809 --> 00:27:51,148
I think this is
701
00:27:51,233 --> 00:27:52,324
Tremblay's latest line.
702
00:27:52,409 --> 00:27:53,979
Tremblay? That's a designer?
703
00:27:54,181 --> 00:27:56,070
Vivian Tremblay would
call herself a designer,
704
00:27:56,155 --> 00:27:57,408
but I say
she's just another person
705
00:27:57,492 --> 00:27:59,801
shoving '70s style
in my face again.
706
00:27:59,993 --> 00:28:01,215
Bell-bottoms died
707
00:28:01,413 --> 00:28:02,937
for a reason. Yeah, noted.
708
00:28:03,022 --> 00:28:05,027
All right,
I'll call Hondo.
709
00:28:05,173 --> 00:28:06,833
Thanks for the info.
710
00:28:06,918 --> 00:28:09,222
Hey, be good now.
Don't hurt nobody.
711
00:28:09,307 --> 00:28:12,005
Yo, we got 'em.
712
00:28:13,940 --> 00:28:15,162
Hi.
713
00:28:15,262 --> 00:28:16,989
Welcome to Tremblay.
Can I help you?
714
00:28:17,074 --> 00:28:19,536
LAPD. We're looking
for Vivian Tremblay.
715
00:28:19,622 --> 00:28:21,453
- Just want to ask her a few questions.
- Oh.
716
00:28:21,552 --> 00:28:23,231
She's in the back.
I can get her for you.
717
00:28:23,316 --> 00:28:25,535
Oh, that's okay.
We'll find her.
718
00:28:29,604 --> 00:28:31,736
- Vivian Tremblay?
- Cops are here.
719
00:28:33,442 --> 00:28:34,747
Excuse me.
720
00:28:36,325 --> 00:28:38,818
Stop!
721
00:28:38,902 --> 00:28:40,472
Don't move!
722
00:28:40,556 --> 00:28:43,040
Up against the wall.
She dropped it in the toilet.
723
00:28:44,473 --> 00:28:46,304
Who was that?
724
00:28:46,388 --> 00:28:48,001
Was that the sweatshop operator?
725
00:28:48,085 --> 00:28:51,741
Where are the workers, Vivian?
Where are they?!
726
00:28:55,372 --> 00:28:57,837
Phone company pulled the
last number that Vivian called.
727
00:28:57,921 --> 00:28:59,833
Belongs to a burner.
It's switched off.
728
00:29:00,020 --> 00:29:01,576
It's got to be
the sweatshop operator.
729
00:29:01,661 --> 00:29:03,554
She warned him, probably
told him to move the workers
730
00:29:03,638 --> 00:29:05,280
- out of L.A.
- Which means we got to find this guy
731
00:29:05,364 --> 00:29:06,802
before he gets them out
of the city.
732
00:29:06,887 --> 00:29:08,897
Tan and Powell are going through
Tremblay's business records
733
00:29:08,981 --> 00:29:10,608
from the showroom office,
looking for anything
734
00:29:10,692 --> 00:29:11,894
that can give us an ID.
735
00:29:11,978 --> 00:29:13,418
Well, it seems
like Vivian was involved
736
00:29:13,502 --> 00:29:14,854
in the sweatshop in a real way.
737
00:29:14,938 --> 00:29:16,464
But I doubt she has his name
in her records.
738
00:29:16,548 --> 00:29:17,770
Look, it's a long shot,
but we need some way
739
00:29:17,854 --> 00:29:19,097
to get to these workers.
740
00:29:19,181 --> 00:29:20,294
Hondo and Deacon
are talking
741
00:29:20,378 --> 00:29:23,080
to Vivian now.
We're working on it.
742
00:29:23,164 --> 00:29:24,727
I don't know
what workers
743
00:29:24,811 --> 00:29:26,174
- you're talking about.
- Okay.
744
00:29:26,258 --> 00:29:28,253
That phone call that
my colleague and I interrupted...
745
00:29:28,337 --> 00:29:29,434
What was that about?
746
00:29:29,518 --> 00:29:30,751
- Something else.
- Vivian,
747
00:29:30,836 --> 00:29:33,799
- we raided the sweatshop.
- We live in America.
748
00:29:33,884 --> 00:29:36,182
There haven't been sweatshops
here in decades.
749
00:29:36,267 --> 00:29:37,972
It's funny, because
one of your seamstresses...
750
00:29:38,056 --> 00:29:40,479
She told me that just yesterday,
she was in yours.
751
00:29:40,564 --> 00:29:42,329
Tremblay employs
no seamstresses.
752
00:29:42,414 --> 00:29:44,564
Piecework is sent
outside of the company,
753
00:29:44,649 --> 00:29:46,479
and I don't know anything
about the labor conditions.
754
00:29:46,563 --> 00:29:49,524
Come on. You were trying
to destroy your phone.
755
00:29:50,141 --> 00:29:51,721
That tells me
that you're trying to cover up
756
00:29:51,805 --> 00:29:53,157
how involved you really are.
757
00:29:53,519 --> 00:29:56,142
This goes better for you
if we save those workers.
758
00:29:56,227 --> 00:29:58,165
Now, if you help us,
maybe we can get some
759
00:29:58,287 --> 00:30:00,554
of the charges reduced, get a
few of them taken off the table.
760
00:30:00,638 --> 00:30:02,124
I...
761
00:30:03,820 --> 00:30:05,896
I don't know
where they're being held.
762
00:30:06,465 --> 00:30:08,755
Then give us the name
of the sweatshop operators.
763
00:30:08,904 --> 00:30:11,816
Now, before you go turning
your nose up, know this.
764
00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:13,412
We are going
through your files,
765
00:30:13,497 --> 00:30:15,067
and we have his building.
766
00:30:15,171 --> 00:30:17,779
Now, it may take a minute,
but we are gonna find this guy.
767
00:30:17,906 --> 00:30:20,288
And when we do, I wonder if he's
gonna say that you don't know
768
00:30:20,372 --> 00:30:23,291
anything about what's going on
in your own clothing factory.
769
00:30:23,376 --> 00:30:25,427
Or maybe he just might
have some new insight
770
00:30:25,512 --> 00:30:27,552
into La To ya Turner's death.
771
00:30:29,059 --> 00:30:31,365
I will give you his name.
772
00:30:32,316 --> 00:30:35,099
But I want a deal
in writing first.
773
00:30:36,695 --> 00:30:39,091
She is 100% involved
in this thing.
774
00:30:39,667 --> 00:30:41,672
And we're offering
her a deal?
775
00:30:41,757 --> 00:30:43,513
There are other ways
to get this guy's name.
776
00:30:43,612 --> 00:30:44,943
But this is the fastest.
777
00:30:45,028 --> 00:30:48,380
We get the sweatshop operator's ID,
we can get to these workers
778
00:30:48,465 --> 00:30:50,068
before he can move 'em
out of the city.
779
00:30:50,153 --> 00:30:52,090
Deacon, he skips town
with them, they get tossed
780
00:30:52,175 --> 00:30:53,702
into some new bad situation.
781
00:30:53,795 --> 00:30:54,818
Maybe another sweatshop,
782
00:30:54,903 --> 00:30:56,168
maybe something even worse.
783
00:30:56,253 --> 00:30:57,867
What if we don't find this guy?
784
00:30:58,147 --> 00:31:00,715
Or what if the workers
are already dead?
785
00:31:01,262 --> 00:31:03,180
Then we've let her walk
for nothing,
786
00:31:03,710 --> 00:31:06,420
- La To ya Turner has died for nothing.
- You were the one
787
00:31:06,505 --> 00:31:09,508
who said, if we had a chance
to save those workers,
788
00:31:09,593 --> 00:31:10,815
we have to take it.
789
00:31:10,899 --> 00:31:14,076
I know. I know.
790
00:31:16,013 --> 00:31:17,333
All right, call the D.A.
791
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:18,832
Get the deal in writing,
792
00:31:18,917 --> 00:31:21,052
and get the sweatshop operator's
name from Vivian.
793
00:31:21,137 --> 00:31:22,591
Yes, sir.
794
00:31:31,193 --> 00:31:33,240
I got the name of the
sweatshop operator.
795
00:31:33,427 --> 00:31:36,667
William Chen. Look at this.
He makes frequent trips
796
00:31:36,751 --> 00:31:38,138
to China.
797
00:31:38,273 --> 00:31:40,218
He's probably the guy who
recruited Grace and her brother
798
00:31:40,302 --> 00:31:41,193
in the first place.
799
00:31:41,277 --> 00:31:42,474
Here are Chen's properties.
800
00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:44,456
Sweatshop lease was under
a shell company name,
801
00:31:44,541 --> 00:31:45,616
but Chen had
to move the workers
802
00:31:45,700 --> 00:31:47,097
out of that building
with no notice.
803
00:31:47,181 --> 00:31:49,172
He wouldn't have had time
to secure a new hidden spot.
804
00:31:49,256 --> 00:31:51,366
They're probably at a property
he already had available.
805
00:31:51,450 --> 00:31:54,031
His apartment?
Risky to try to bring in seven people
806
00:31:54,116 --> 00:31:56,013
- without a neighbor seeing something.
- Yeah.
807
00:31:56,098 --> 00:31:57,590
This here's a storage unit,
808
00:31:57,675 --> 00:32:00,163
but that company is big
on upgraded security.
809
00:32:00,248 --> 00:32:01,522
Cameras in every hallway,
810
00:32:01,607 --> 00:32:02,867
he'd have been caught
on tape for sure.
811
00:32:02,951 --> 00:32:04,216
Leaves this storefront.
812
00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:06,131
Paint shop, Chen's a co-owner.
813
00:32:06,215 --> 00:32:07,651
But it's a public place.
814
00:32:08,708 --> 00:32:10,381
But what about
the rear entrance?
815
00:32:10,466 --> 00:32:11,781
He sneaks them in
through the back.
816
00:32:11,865 --> 00:32:12,794
No one's the wiser.
817
00:32:12,879 --> 00:32:14,928
Chen only needs to stash
his workers for a few hours,
818
00:32:15,012 --> 00:32:16,322
while he makes arrangements
to get 'em out of town.
819
00:32:16,406 --> 00:32:18,366
Betting Vivian's call
sped up his plans.
820
00:32:18,451 --> 00:32:19,706
Let's roll. All right.
821
00:32:21,925 --> 00:32:23,443
30-David. We're set.
822
00:32:25,092 --> 00:32:26,458
26-David in position.
823
00:32:26,543 --> 00:32:27,939
We got one suspect
824
00:32:28,024 --> 00:32:29,463
by a van.
825
00:32:29,548 --> 00:32:31,031
Plate's registered to Chen.
826
00:32:31,116 --> 00:32:32,569
Probably how he intends
to move them.
827
00:32:32,654 --> 00:32:33,681
According to Grace,
828
00:32:33,765 --> 00:32:34,897
there are seven other workers.
829
00:32:34,981 --> 00:32:36,445
Might be looking at three
or four armed guards,
830
00:32:36,529 --> 00:32:37,326
including Chen.
831
00:32:37,411 --> 00:32:39,141
All right,
I got a second suspect visible.
832
00:32:39,225 --> 00:32:41,044
He's loading three
workers into the van.
833
00:32:41,224 --> 00:32:42,446
Could be more inside already.
834
00:32:42,554 --> 00:32:44,080
I... I don't have a visual.
835
00:32:45,036 --> 00:32:46,318
Still can't see
836
00:32:46,403 --> 00:32:48,187
the other workers or Chen.
837
00:32:50,650 --> 00:32:52,123
Van's pulling out now.
838
00:32:52,522 --> 00:32:54,571
All right, let's go. Go!
839
00:32:56,483 --> 00:32:57,745
22-David coming in.
840
00:33:20,860 --> 00:33:22,038
Out of the van!
841
00:33:22,131 --> 00:33:23,846
Get out of the van!
842
00:33:23,931 --> 00:33:26,486
Get out now!
Show us your hands!
843
00:33:26,571 --> 00:33:29,530
Your hands up!
Don't even think about it!
844
00:33:30,983 --> 00:33:32,637
LAPD!
845
00:33:32,940 --> 00:33:35,598
Out! You two, out! Move!
846
00:33:35,683 --> 00:33:36,556
Move!
847
00:33:36,641 --> 00:33:38,252
Get on the ground!
848
00:33:39,812 --> 00:33:41,643
Going hands on!
849
00:33:41,969 --> 00:33:43,539
Give me your hands.
850
00:33:43,624 --> 00:33:45,041
Suspect one in custody!
851
00:33:45,126 --> 00:33:46,261
Get out.
852
00:33:47,004 --> 00:33:48,439
Suspect down.
Tan, you got him?
853
00:33:48,523 --> 00:33:50,090
Yeah.
854
00:33:53,525 --> 00:33:56,180
Third suspect's approaching.
He's rabbiting!
855
00:34:03,004 --> 00:34:04,689
Two! Two! Give me two!
856
00:34:04,774 --> 00:34:06,556
With you. With you.
Go. Go.
857
00:34:11,507 --> 00:34:14,945
Drop the weapon!
Show us your hands!
858
00:34:26,094 --> 00:34:28,446
Suspect three in custody.
859
00:34:28,530 --> 00:34:30,194
Nice job, Powell.
860
00:34:33,101 --> 00:34:36,155
It's okay.
We're police.
861
00:34:36,848 --> 00:34:38,895
Hey, there's six workers
in here.
862
00:34:40,112 --> 00:34:41,378
Come on.
863
00:34:41,501 --> 00:34:43,763
Deac,
there should be one more worker.
864
00:34:59,136 --> 00:35:01,999
LAPD! Stop right there!
Don't move!
865
00:35:02,084 --> 00:35:06,436
20-Squad, I got eyes on the
seventh worker and William Chen.
866
00:35:10,679 --> 00:35:13,085
Park Lin, your sister Grace
showed us your photo.
867
00:35:13,240 --> 00:35:15,061
Grace? She's okay?
868
00:35:15,146 --> 00:35:16,364
We got her. She's safe.
869
00:35:16,449 --> 00:35:18,019
I shoot him!
870
00:35:18,103 --> 00:35:19,107
Come on now, Chen.
871
00:35:19,191 --> 00:35:21,196
- Back up!
- Park needs medical attention.
872
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,842
- Let me leave!
- Can't do that.
873
00:35:22,927 --> 00:35:24,445
You're not gonna get away
from us, Chen.
874
00:35:24,529 --> 00:35:26,233
- Let's make a deal.
- Like what?
875
00:35:26,318 --> 00:35:29,021
We know about the sweatshop
and La To ya Turner's murder.
876
00:35:29,279 --> 00:35:30,936
We got Vivian Tremblay
in custody.
877
00:35:31,021 --> 00:35:32,593
She's saying she had nothing
to do with any of it.
878
00:35:32,677 --> 00:35:34,686
She's a liar and a snake!
879
00:35:34,771 --> 00:35:37,302
Take it easy. Chen.
Relax, Chen.
880
00:35:37,485 --> 00:35:39,139
Let's talk about this.
881
00:35:39,958 --> 00:35:42,395
Go!
882
00:35:46,552 --> 00:35:48,293
On your stomach!
883
00:35:49,849 --> 00:35:51,365
20-David to Command.
884
00:35:51,544 --> 00:35:54,216
Fourth suspect in custody.
We're Code Four.
885
00:35:54,683 --> 00:35:56,903
It's over.
886
00:36:11,927 --> 00:36:13,117
Pardon me.
887
00:36:13,771 --> 00:36:14,989
Watch your step.
888
00:36:15,396 --> 00:36:17,121
I will, Officer.
889
00:36:17,919 --> 00:36:18,949
It's Sergeant.
890
00:36:22,515 --> 00:36:24,537
So Vivian Tremblay
walks free, huh?
891
00:36:24,622 --> 00:36:25,811
Well, not exactly.
892
00:36:25,896 --> 00:36:28,139
The D.A. wasn't willing
to grant her full immunity.
893
00:36:28,224 --> 00:36:30,514
I mean, she's still gotta answer
for destroying evidence
894
00:36:30,599 --> 00:36:31,962
and obstruction of justice.
895
00:36:32,046 --> 00:36:34,327
So she pays a fine that
she can afford ten times over,
896
00:36:34,412 --> 00:36:36,287
and then goes back
to doodling overpriced pants
897
00:36:36,372 --> 00:36:37,248
like nothing happened.
898
00:36:37,333 --> 00:36:38,905
Making a deal got us
those workers
899
00:36:38,990 --> 00:36:40,803
before Chen could
get 'em out of town.
900
00:36:40,888 --> 00:36:42,365
They're what mattered most.
901
00:36:42,591 --> 00:36:43,974
Now it wasn't
the perfect option,
902
00:36:44,058 --> 00:36:45,933
- but it was the right one.
- That doesn't make it
903
00:36:46,017 --> 00:36:47,543
any easier, watching
her waltz out of here.
904
00:36:47,627 --> 00:36:49,719
I know, I know, but come on.
905
00:36:49,881 --> 00:36:51,779
Something else
I want you to see.
906
00:37:03,544 --> 00:37:04,607
Baby,
907
00:37:04,724 --> 00:37:06,388
you better get over to
the inspector general's office.
908
00:37:06,472 --> 00:37:08,869
- Your meeting starts soon.
- Don't think I'm gonna make it.
909
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:10,920
Letter of resignation.
910
00:37:11,005 --> 00:37:12,130
Gonna turn it in.
911
00:37:12,215 --> 00:37:13,915
Okay, hold up, hold up.
912
00:37:14,294 --> 00:37:16,647
Is this because of what
that Theo guy said to you?
913
00:37:16,732 --> 00:37:17,670
He is not
914
00:37:17,755 --> 00:37:19,357
the inspector general.
She believed in you.
915
00:37:19,441 --> 00:37:20,706
But Theo was right.
916
00:37:20,790 --> 00:37:22,334
I took a look at the numbers
917
00:37:22,419 --> 00:37:23,840
for the Good Neighbor program,
and then
918
00:37:23,924 --> 00:37:25,842
changed my mind
after I spoke to Luca.
919
00:37:25,926 --> 00:37:27,771
And if you quit,
what happens to COPE?
920
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:31,795
There are other great advisors
in the IG's office.
921
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,022
Hey, they are not you.
922
00:37:34,107 --> 00:37:35,156
Hondo, if
923
00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:36,341
I can't be objective,
924
00:37:36,426 --> 00:37:37,736
I'm not going to be able
to do the job.
925
00:37:37,820 --> 00:37:40,780
I disagree.
Nichelle, I am not impartial.
926
00:37:40,865 --> 00:37:42,724
I see a situation, and I think
927
00:37:42,841 --> 00:37:44,967
about it as a cop,
I think about it as a Black man,
928
00:37:45,075 --> 00:37:46,717
and a member
of the South L.A. community
929
00:37:46,802 --> 00:37:48,116
and a hundred other things.
930
00:37:48,201 --> 00:37:50,693
And my ultimate decision
is the better for it.
931
00:37:50,777 --> 00:37:54,389
That's true,
but I've seen the line you walk.
932
00:37:54,474 --> 00:37:57,522
I got a taste of it today...
The cop and the community side
933
00:37:57,607 --> 00:37:59,669
pulling me
in opposite directions.
934
00:37:59,762 --> 00:38:02,607
It's not easy, and I know
the toll it takes on you.
935
00:38:02,802 --> 00:38:05,882
You can do everything
I can backwards and in heels.
936
00:38:05,966 --> 00:38:08,912
Nichelle, trust yourself
937
00:38:09,567 --> 00:38:10,993
like I trust you.
938
00:38:16,912 --> 00:38:18,808
That's Nicole Turner,
LaToya's sister.
939
00:38:19,083 --> 00:38:20,882
When I let her know
that we secured the people
940
00:38:20,966 --> 00:38:24,031
that La To ya was helping,
Nicole asked if she could meet them.
941
00:38:24,693 --> 00:38:27,773
Thank you for saving my brother
and the others.
942
00:38:27,857 --> 00:38:29,514
It's the least
we can do.
943
00:38:29,943 --> 00:38:31,505
I just wish...
944
00:38:34,404 --> 00:38:36,061
You are like me.
945
00:38:36,372 --> 00:38:39,481
Always thinking I could have
done a better job somehow.
946
00:38:39,651 --> 00:38:41,693
Grace,
947
00:38:41,778 --> 00:38:44,138
I made some calls.
If you and Park need a place to stay, I...
948
00:38:44,222 --> 00:38:47,663
Oh, no need.
Nicole offered us a place
949
00:38:47,896 --> 00:38:49,839
and help to find real jobs.
950
00:38:50,060 --> 00:38:51,928
She said
it's what La To ya would want.
951
00:38:52,826 --> 00:38:54,539
I don't doubt that one bit.
952
00:38:55,146 --> 00:38:56,629
Excuse me.
953
00:38:56,714 --> 00:38:58,669
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
954
00:39:00,177 --> 00:39:01,763
Nicole,
955
00:39:01,848 --> 00:39:04,764
I'm David.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
956
00:39:09,382 --> 00:39:11,126
Theo?
957
00:39:11,583 --> 00:39:13,994
I was hoping to catch you
before the meeting.
958
00:39:14,078 --> 00:39:16,431
- Okay.
- You were right.
959
00:39:16,515 --> 00:39:19,880
The IG's office shouldn't
re-up the Good Neighbor program.
960
00:39:20,098 --> 00:39:23,302
But we shouldn't
cancel it, either.
961
00:39:23,481 --> 00:39:25,570
I don't understand.
962
00:39:25,942 --> 00:39:27,881
The reason I sided
with the officers
963
00:39:27,966 --> 00:39:31,154
who love this program isn't
because I'm knee-jerk pro-cop.
964
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:32,934
It's because the program works.
965
00:39:33,019 --> 00:39:34,850
And the numbers back that up.
966
00:39:35,055 --> 00:39:37,967
But they also tell us
what the problem is.
967
00:39:38,052 --> 00:39:40,217
Cops who abuse
the initiative for profit.
968
00:39:40,302 --> 00:39:41,880
You want to reform it?
969
00:39:42,255 --> 00:39:44,747
I just dropped off
some proposed changes.
970
00:39:44,864 --> 00:39:46,365
Cops stay in their homes
971
00:39:46,450 --> 00:39:48,115
that they purchase
for five years minimum.
972
00:39:48,199 --> 00:39:50,117
And if they choose
to sell before then,
973
00:39:50,201 --> 00:39:52,206
the Good Neighbor program has
a right to buy back the house
974
00:39:52,290 --> 00:39:53,555
at a fair cost.
975
00:39:53,639 --> 00:39:55,122
The inspector general
was intrigued.
976
00:39:55,362 --> 00:39:56,885
I am, too.
977
00:39:57,950 --> 00:39:58,950
But...
978
00:39:59,278 --> 00:40:02,042
it should be eight years
minimum commitment.
979
00:40:02,993 --> 00:40:05,821
I'm open to discussion.
980
00:40:07,644 --> 00:40:09,362
I still don't trust you.
981
00:40:09,447 --> 00:40:11,104
You don't have to.
982
00:40:11,265 --> 00:40:12,530
Shall we?
983
00:40:12,786 --> 00:40:14,622
After you.
984
00:40:16,878 --> 00:40:18,228
Hi.
985
00:40:21,821 --> 00:40:24,171
- Hey.
- Hey.
986
00:40:24,910 --> 00:40:27,046
Oh, uh, I spoke to Powell.
987
00:40:27,372 --> 00:40:29,348
It wasn't perfect, but...
988
00:40:30,427 --> 00:40:32,159
I think I got through to her.
989
00:40:32,614 --> 00:40:34,214
She followed procedure
at the paint shop.
990
00:40:35,044 --> 00:40:36,558
- That's a start.
- Yeah.
991
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,395
Oh, uh, by the way,
992
00:40:40,489 --> 00:40:42,256
you were right
about her opening up to me.
993
00:40:42,340 --> 00:40:43,605
And?
994
00:40:43,689 --> 00:40:46,956
Powell says she's got attitude
995
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,348
because protocol is made up.
996
00:40:49,629 --> 00:40:51,599
If you ask me,
it's 'cause she couldn't
997
00:40:51,684 --> 00:40:53,603
save someone she cared about,
and she doesn't want
998
00:40:53,687 --> 00:40:55,735
to feel like that again, so,
999
00:40:55,820 --> 00:40:58,171
she's decided not
to trust anyone.
1000
00:41:00,015 --> 00:41:01,514
Well, that's
an understandable response
1001
00:41:01,598 --> 00:41:03,317
for a human being, Street.
1002
00:41:04,333 --> 00:41:06,646
But it ain't ideal
for a SWAT teammate.
1003
00:41:08,332 --> 00:41:09,858
There's hope.
1004
00:41:10,292 --> 00:41:11,827
She heard me today.
1005
00:41:12,637 --> 00:41:14,070
Key word is "today."
1006
00:41:14,716 --> 00:41:16,159
I'm still worried
about tomorrow.
1007
00:41:16,669 --> 00:41:18,718
What you're describing doesn't
sound like the kind of thing
1008
00:41:18,802 --> 00:41:20,555
that goes away
from a single heart-to-heart.
1009
00:41:20,639 --> 00:41:22,466
I guess I'm in it
for the long haul then.
1010
00:41:22,737 --> 00:41:25,231
Look, she did listen to you
today, and you damn sure know
1011
00:41:25,316 --> 00:41:26,924
what it takes
to be a good SWAT officer.
1012
00:41:27,009 --> 00:41:28,887
I know I can do this, Hondo.
1013
00:41:29,833 --> 00:41:31,696
- I know it.
- All right.
1014
00:41:32,136 --> 00:41:34,225
You get Powell squared away.
1015
00:41:35,036 --> 00:41:36,907
She's your responsibility now.
