- I got him.

- Officer Harmon.

- Diaz.

Next time we show up here, you're gonna

be leaving in the back of an ambulance.

[body cam beeps]

- Camera goes off after enforcement.

- I know. I know. I'm sorry.

- Suspect's inside.

- [Traci on radio] Copy. En route.

Stand down until I get to you.

- Didn't you hear me say "stand down"?

- [Alex] Yes, I did.

Entering alone is not smart.

What was I supposed to do,

huh? Just let him get away?

Yo, check it out!

It's the police, bro!

Get the f*ck out of here!

Come on. You've

gotta be kidding me.

[firework exploding]

Jesus. Call it in.

Charlie-85, we've got a big crowd

down here. Unruly. sh**ting fireworks.

Multiple vehicles

drifting. Please advise.

See you later, m*therf*ckers!

[dispatch] Charlie-85,

pull back and observe.

They want us to

sit back and watch?

Yeah. That's what

it sounds like.

That doesn't seem right.

Well, that's the new policy.

Believe me, I don't like

it any more than you do.

- Hey. Hey. Excuse me.

- Yeah?

You're not gonna do anything?

Sir, we're monitoring

the situation.

How about stopping it?

[dispatch] All units ADW in progress.

Magnolia and Crescent Boulevard.

That's right around the corner.

[Rolland on radio] Show Charlie-97

on scene. Eyes on suspect.

Sir, can you do me a favor?

Can you go back inside

until this cools down?

Para que me sirven?!

[dispatch] Charlie-97,

help call activated.

That's Rolland.

[Lasman on radio] Charlie-89

Come in.

Last known location

[Rolland on radio] Help!

Officer down! I need assistance!

Let's go.

Hey! Clear a path!

Move, move, move!

Move, move, move!

Diaz with me!

[indistinct

shouting] Move, move!

Get out of the way! Move!

Charlie-85, I'm with 97.

Requesting EMS ASAP.

Get up!

[groans]

[Traci] Diaz, you all

right? Diaz, you okay?

- m*therf*cker!

- [Traci] No, no, no!

Hey, hey, hey. It's too dangerous.

We're getting out of here.

What are you talking about?

He assaulted your rookie

and cracked the victim's

head with this thing.

And priority is getting

them medical attention.

No, I'm fine! I'm fine!

Diaz, listen to me.

Go get him! Now! Go!

- No, it is too dangerous, all right?

- [Lasman] What are you talking about?

That's bullshit. Somebody's

going to jail for this.

Help me.

[dispatch] I need an

update, Charlie-97.

[Lasman] Code 4, Charlie-97.

Suspect is outstanding

and vic is in custody,

but he's gonna need a medic.

[dispatch] Roger.

Crowd estimate?

Not that big.

It's over 200. Unruly. Advise.

[dispatch] Fall back. Give a two-block

perimeter. Advise every 20 minutes.

Copy that.

Rolland, come on.

[Traci] Help me.

Give me a lift.

Diaz!

Get out of the way! Open up!

Get the f*ck out!

Come on. We're gonna get

you. One, two, three!

- Got him?

- [Diaz grunts]

Secured him? Okay.

Out of the way! Move!

I need you to clear a

path! Move, move! Move!

Move, move, move!

Hey! Hey!

We have a victim here!

Ronnie! Ronnie!

I got him. I got him.

- Okay.

- [grunts] All right. Yeah.

- You got him?

- Let's get him down.

Hold on, hold on.

- Thanks.

- [panting]

Hey, hey. No, he needs

to be checked out too.

No, no, I said I'm

fine. I'm fine.

Diaz, let's go.

[door opens]

- Hey.

- Hey. Morning, Sarge.

You're here early.

Yeah. I wanted to

get a workout in.

Oh, yeah? Hitting the heavy bag?

Nah, just the weight pile.

You need hand

speed for this job.

Lifting sh*t up and down

just makes you tight.

Speaking of which,

how's your swing?

Golf?

No, no, no. Bat. Softball.

Oh, uh, you know, played

some baseball in high school.

Okay.

We got a tournament coming

up in a couple of weeks.

All divisions

against each other.

I do not want to lose

to North again. You in?

- Hell yeah.

- All right.

Hey. Let me see this.

[scoffs]

You know, I came up a million years

ago when you handled your business.

Now everybody's so woke, nobody

wants to put shitheads in jail.

But general principle

they hit us, we

gotta hit 'em back.

All right?

Order versus Chaos.

Laws of the universe.

I'm gonna go hit the

bag a little bit.

I'm gonna sign you up for

softball. No backing out now.

- I'll be there.

- Cool.

Hey. Wipe that sh*t off

your face. Just own it.

♪

- Let me see it.

- Hmm?

Oh, boy.

Come on.

- It's not that bad.

- [scoffs] Yeah. Got me good.

f*cking video of

it's going viral.

[chuckles]

How many likes did you get?

- That's funny. That's good.

- I'm sorry.

That's real good.

Should've f*cking

gotten the guy, man.

Then what?

- Then I'd

- Then you'd what?

Because I will tell you, he

would be back out on the street

before we are even finished

processing the paperwork.

And that is if he doesn't lay an

excessive force complaint on you first.

Yeah, I guess so.

What about him

assaulting Rolland, huh?

You're just gonna

let that sh*t slide?

Know what?

Where are we headed?

Oh, sh*t.

This is the spot.

Delgado bled out right there

trying to keep them safe.

And they don't have a clue.

Most don't care.

That's f*cked up.

Yeah. That's reality.

So you wanted to play the

hero last night for what?

Chasing that kid was

not gonna save anyone.

That was just to

appease your pride.

And I think about all the things that

I could've done to teach her better,

and I don't wanna have

to do that for you.

So the next time you wanna

run off after somebody

[dispatch] All available units respond

to Greenbelt Park, northeast corner.

Bus bench off Spring

Street. Possible homicide.

You just do me a favor

and you think it through.

4-Charlie-85, five minute ETA.

[Mystery Mary] Cops is here.

Oh, hey, hey. Hey,

Officer Harmon!

- Whoa, whoa. Back up.

- Hey, Mary.

- No, no. She's harmless.

- Yeah.

Hey, Mary, what happened?

Well, somebody left a

surprise in the park.

Okay. Did you ever call

that number that I gave you?

Ah, man. You know, I just got

out of rehab like yesterday.

Come on. I gave you that

number like a week ago.

And, voila, here I am!

Totally upright and awake.

Glory be to Mother Earth.

Hey, who's that guy?

Oh, he's my new trainee.

Mm, is he cool?

I don't know. Jury's still out.

Hey, Mary, can

you do me a favor?

Can you go wait wherever your tent

is, and I'll come talk to you?

Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah. I

just wanted to let you know

that the Sheriff was walking

around here the other day.

- Yeah?

- [Mystery Mary] Yeah.

Thought you said

you were in rehab.

- Hey, she's looking for you!

- Call that number, Mary.

- Sheriff?

- Ah, she's so geared up, I don't know.

Hey. This is a first.

Is it real?

Poke a finger and find out.

Jesus.

Who found it?

One of the zombies here.

Somebody called 911.

[Traci] You talk to him?

No. He's all f*cked up,

doesn't make much sense.

This is some real serial

k*ller sh*t right here.

Diaz, what do you think?

Was he m*rder*d here in the

park or is this just a drop?

I'd say drop. [clears throat]

I don't see any blood anywhere.

Hey, what's the matter? You

don't like a little head?

- [laughing]

- Man, come on.

Are the detectives on their way?

No. They're tied up.

They've only got two on.

Said they'd be at least 45.

Hey, go find that other rookie,

start searching the park.

Diaz, this whole place

is a crime scene.

Okay.

Watch the chair. [chuckles]

All right, sir. I

need you to back up.

Hey, give me some

space, all right?

Yo.

There he is. The

Pride of San Pedro.

sh*t, I'm the mero

mero. Don't forget.

Oh, you're a star, that's for sure.

Video from last night is everywhere.

Ah, guy went full

Tyson Fury on you.

Yeah, well, he ran

before I could grab him.

You know that chasing bad guys

is part of the job description?

Oh yeah? I guess you gotta

define "bad guys" these days.

- [grunting]

- [man] Hey! Hey! Give it to me!

Hey!

[Alex] Hey, back up!

Break it up! Break it up!

- They're trying to steal my bag.

- [Alex] Why do they want it?

'Cause they want what's in it.

- Show it to him.

- Let him see it.

- Sir, can I see?

- [man] No, no, no.

We're conducting an investigation.

Technically, we can take it.

He's just spooked,

okay? He's just spooked.

[spits] I ain't scared of you.

Dude, I just shined these!

I guess we got our first

customer of the day.

Hold up, hold up.

What's the deal?

- [Holt] This guy assaulted Diaz.

- No, he didn't as*ault me.

- There's something in his backpack.

- Okay, let him go.

All right? Hey, sir?

I'm sorry. We're just trying

to figure out what happened.

Have you seen anything unusual?

Show her. Show her

what you found.

Okay. We got him.

Thank you, thank you.

Can I take a quick peek?

No. I don't want to open it.

Why not?

I don't want the

coyotes to get it.

Okay.

I'll tell you what. If you

just let me take a quick look,

I'm gonna give you a prize.

A date with you?

Pretty close. How about if I

make you my deputy for the day?

- Okay. Okay.

- Yeah?

- Just a peek.

- Okay.

- Interesting.

- [Alex] What is it?

I got woke up last night

by the coyotes fighting.

That's when I found it.

It was like I was

chosen or something.

Yes. You definitely were. And this

is a very important discovery,

xso I'm gonna need to

hold on to it, okay?

But, hey, I promise I'm gonna

keep it safe from the coyotes.

Okay, Deputy?

Okay.

- Great.

- Okay.

[man] Hey, guys, check

it out. I got a sticker.

What does that ink

look like to you?

Jesus.

Judging by that, looks like somebody

cliqued up with East Barrio.

Okay.

We're gonna preserve

this for the detectives.

And start interviewing these people.

This did not just fall from the sky.

I'll call you when

I have more answers.

- Lieutenant.

- Harmon, what do you got?

A hand that likely belongs to our victim.

I think we can pull a print from it.

Okay. We're gonna need warrants

for every one of these tents.

It's a waste of time. I'd

start by notifying Gangs.

I think one of them might have

taken a lesson from the cartel

cut up our victim and

served him to the coyotes.

That's not their M.O.

Well, M.O.'s change when you're

trying to make a statement,

and this is big

f*cking statement.

Okay. I'll let the

detectives know.

Where are we on

Delgado's k*ller?

I'd tell you if

we had something.

Well, what about the

girl? Any ID on her?

- Not yet.

- Jesus. What are they doing?

Ma'am, respectfully,

just let me help them.

All right? I'm more plugged in

to East Barrio than they are.

You and your rookie went

off like an unguided m*ssile

and let the sh**ter

get away, remember?

I know you wanna

get them. We all do.

But let the task

force do their job.

You could've put me

on the task force.

I need you on patrol.

[dispatch] Narcotics Unit requesting

backup on suspicious vehicle.

West Anaheim Avenue

and Oregon Street.

Charlie-85, we'll take

it. Three minute ETA.

Diaz!

Hey, what do you got, gentlemen?

There she is. We're Code 4.

Our second unit beat you here.

Come on. You need

any help wrapping up?

Nah, we're set.

Heard someone lost their

head in Greenbelt Park.

Lost a lot more than that.

We just came from there.

What did you get here?

Twenty racks.

Found it under the driver's seat

with a few ounces of powder.

Just looking for

the last ingredient.

There's always a g*n.

Who trained you so well?

By the tats, I'd say they're

runners for L.B. Flores.

How's your rookie?

Uh, I don't know. We'll see.

He's got potential, but he

needs to pick his battles.

Karma's a b*tch, huh?

f*ck you. I was the best

trainee you ever had.

Can I talk to them?

[Koy] About?

Delgado's m*rder.

Come on. Just two minutes.

I'll deny it if anyone asks.

Thank you.

Hey.

You know these guys?

You seen them around?

They're East Barrio.

Come on.

If you take a look, I can see

what I can do for you here.

Hey. Let me take a swing?

Yeah. Can't hurt.

[speaking Spanish]

[speaking Spanish]

Okay.

Gracias.

She says she hasn't seen

anyone from East Barrio.

The whole g*ng's gone silent.

Like La Llorona took them away.

Who?

A ghost.

[Traci] Koy.

You're from the

neighborhood, right?

You gotta have an opinion on

what that girl said back there.

Well, um, East Barrio and L.B. Flores

used to be one big f*cked up family.

Those kids recognize him.

She wasn't lying, though.

She's scared.

Well, my guess is O.G.'s didn't

sign off on k*lling a cop.

Agreed.

What kind of what

kind of trainee was she?

- Delgado?

- Mm-hmm.

She was a f*cking

train wreck. [chuckles]

- Really?

- Yeah. At first.

But she had

she had a lot of heart she

came early, she stayed late.

She did it all while

her kid was in diapers.

Wow.

She wasn't even

supposed to be on.

She volunteered because

they were short.

East Barrio knows

they f*cked up.

They can't hide forever.

[dispatch] All

units, all units

[sirens wailing]

[dog barking]

What do we got?

Barbecue gone bad.

Little too much tequila.

One of the kids says the wrong thing.

They walk out here to talk it out.

Bang-bang.

Punk-a*s move.

Yeah.

Already got the weapon.

The kid's f*cked.

- [Traci] Ghost g*n?

- [Rolland] Piece-of-sh*t 40.

[Valeria crying]

Please. Let me see him, please.

[Traci] Ma'am. Ma'am?

I got it. Thank you.

Ma'am, is that your son?

They shot him. They shot him.

[Traci] I know. I know.

Can you tell me what

happened so I can help?

I got a call. And I told him

not to come to this party.

Hey, rook, go get the tape.

This kid's circling the drain.

It's gonna be a homicide.

Hey. Go.

[Valeria crying] No!

Please, let me see him!

- No! No!

- [Traci] Ma'am ma'am, turn away.

Ma'am, let's walk away.

Come on. Come with me.

- f*ck you, traitor! f*ck you!

- [Traci] Ma'am. Ma'am.

- Watch your mouth, b*tch.

- [Valeria] f*cking stupid a*s Flores!

You're teaching our

kids to k*ll each other!

f*ck you! You were all down

with the clique before.

[Traci] Go back inside the

house, all right? Stay back, sir.

[Spyder] Shut your mouth, b*tch.

- Back up.

- Shut your f*cking mouth, puta!

- Back up!

- [Alex] Hey! Back up! On the sidewalk!

- Back up. Back up.

- f*ck you.

Oh, you think you're tough?

What happened to your eye, puta?

Hey! Hey! Sir, back up!

- f*ck you!

- Back up on the sidewalk!

Pick it up and do your chores!

You're lucky I don't

whoop your dumb a*s.

Walk away, guppy.

- Excuse me?

- You heard me. You're talkin' like an O.G.

Bet you've never even

walked the main line.

I did the SHU at Quentin.

Okay, you did the SHU? I bet you were

in the f*cking soft tank in Chino.

Make a move.

Make a move, b*tch.

p*ssy-a*s m*therf*cker.

Yeah, keep walking.

[wailing]

- I'mma see you, b*tch.

- Hey! Hey! I got you. I got you.

- [Valeria] f*ck you, Spyder!

- [Traci] Come on, let's walk. Let's walk.

Diaz, come out here.

Look, you showed

restraint tonight.

I like that.

But be a professional

we don't bait fights.

When you put on this uniform,

you leave the homeboy from

San Pedro behind, all right?

You are not your brother.

My brother? What

Yeah. The one doing a dime in

Corcoran for armed robbery.

Look, I did a background check.

You might be able to bullshit your

way through departmental paperwork,

- but not through me.

- I didn't bullshit anybody.

And that's supposed

to be confidential.

- Mm-hmm.

- Shouldn't even be locked up.

You saying he didn't do it?

I'm saying wrong

place, wrong time.

And they f*cking

buried him for it.

Hey, I'm not finished.

Look, coming up, knocking

people around was the norm.

That sh*t was never me.

I've never even fired

my weapon in 12 years.

So believe me,

you can walk the line and

still stay true to who you are.

I plan on it.

Good.

Act like it.

Hey.

Good instincts on the

187 in Greenbelt Park.

You were right g*ng-related.

Were you able to ID the hand?

Yeah. Juan Cortez, the driver.

East Barrio ex*cuted one of

their own for k*lling Delgado?

Anything's possible.

What about Maniac?

Still in the wind.

If we're lucky, he's coleslaw.

We'd know if he was.

Good night.

Good night.

So I guess you do have

some fight in you, huh?

All right, look, I didn't

mean to lose my cool. I

No. You handled it well.

I was actually proud of you.

Not sure my T.O.

feels the same way.

Yeah, well, I'm sure she was

just looking out for you.

Speaking of Harmon, I

gotta ask you a question.

You know I gotta flag all footage

that goes to the watch commander.

The other day

I found this.

Next time we show up here,

you're gonna be leaving in the back

of an ambulance instead of a cruiser.

And I am gonna personally make sure that

it is for an attempted m*rder charge.

That's five-to-seven.

You hear me, as*h*le?

So what went down there?

Come on, man. I'm asking

for your benefit and mine.

You gotta be straight with me.

Diaz, look at me.

Did she make a threat?

♪

[Traci] Next on On Call

[Holt] Have you not heard

what they say about Harmon?

- No.

- Can't trust her.

You and me, we got a mutual

respect. You know that.

Is Maniac in Mexico?

I'll make it simple.

Stop looking.
