Previously on SWAT...
You know Lee Durham?

The new kid that just
joined 60-Squad?

He gave me this book.

It promotes
surveilling citizens
with no criminal ties.

When he gave me
the book, he used the words
"walk with dignity."

I remembered that list of
white nationalist
code phrases.

Yeah, how'd it go? "I aim
to walk the path
with dignity."

"Pure of body and spirit."

He worked patrol
in Granada Hills.

Black residents make up
5% of that population.

30% of Durham's arrests.
Targeting?

When Durham said those words
to you, it might've been

an attempt to feel you out.
You can use it the same way.

Deacon, nice to see you, man.
DEACON: Gibson and Ellis.

Man, I haven't seen
you clowns in ages.

Here's to walking
the path with dignity.

Pure of body and spirit.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)
Told you guys.

(SIRENS WAILING)

(GRUNTING SOFTLY)

MAN: Keep punching.

(PUNCHES LANDING ON PADS)

You were right about Durham
and the code phrase.

What happened?
Well, last night,

he had a little
backyard get-together.

I went.

He made a toast using the
first half of the phrase.

"Walk with dignity."

When I responded with
the second half, he lit up.

It's like he was pleased
I was one of them.

He wasn't the only cop there.

I saw two other guys I know
from my patrol days,
Gibson and Ellis.

You tell Hicks yet?

No.

(SIGHS)

Still trying to make
sense of this.

Make sense of what, man?

If these guys are walking
around with a badge and a gun,

using racist beliefs
to do their job,

they don't belong
on the force, period.

Maybe they were
just blowing off steam.

Maybe it was
the beers talking.

Or maybe you're just
making excuses for them now.

Do you know how many
squared away cops

I have heard say questionable
things and not mean it?

No, Deacon.

I can't imagine.

Because when
I walk up to those
same cops, they go silent.

That stuff
doesn't fly anymore.

So, what do you suggest I do?

Go to Internal Affairs,
get these guys fired

over backyard beer talk?

You can't just do nothing.

I'm not doing nothing.

I'm telling you.

(PUNCHES CONTINUE LANDING
ON PADS)

Good morning, Venice!

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)
This is exactly
what you think it is.

Follow our instructions
and we'll be gone
before you know it.

All loose cash
goes in the bag.

Don't panic.
Don't worry

if you miss a few bills.

We're not greedy.

Relax, we're on
the same side.

The bank's the only one
getting hurt today.

Speaking of, where
is the manager?

Come out before I shoot
this poor guard's head off.

Hey, hey. Okay, okay,
okay. I'm right here.

You bank big shots are
all the same.

Cowards who care more
about money than people.

On your knees.
No, come on, man.

(shouts) (people gasping)

DISPATCHER:
All units, 211 in progress.

Silent alarm activated
at Windward and Pacific.

(SEABIRDS SCREECHING)

This is 25-David off-duty.

I'm two blocks away.
Responding.

Why are you crying?

It's not even your money,
it's theirs.

You just make the rules about
how much of it they can have.

They are the real hostages.

Now you get to see
how it feels.

Your life is
in my hands now.

Doesn't feel good, does it?

Let's go!

We will deliver this back
to working people!

LAPD! Drop your weapons!

(WOMAN WHIMPERS)

Robbery's one thing,
murder's another. Let's talk.

I will save the real
victims of this city.

(WHIMPERS)
Ma'am, you all right?

WOMAN: I think so.

(SIRENS WAILING)

(TIRES SCREECH)
OFFICER: LAPD!

Drop the weapon!
Hey, hey, I'm a cop.

I'm a cop!
Now, or we shoot!

I'm off-duty SWAT.
My badge is clipped
to my pants.

Don't move!
There was a robbery.
The van's getting away!

(TIRES SCREECH)

Mix-up really that
entertaining?

Well, yes. But I think
these guys are the real draw.

We will deliver this back
to working people!

End crony capitalism,
or we will end it for you!

A crew with a cause?

That guy I faced off
with thinks he's
a robber for the people.

You believe him,
or this all show?

Don't know yet.

I let your bank robbers
get away.

BURROWS:
Don't beat yourself up.
You did more than you think.

One of the crew
dropped his gun
during your chase.

Ballistics is
processing it now.

How long has Robbery-Homicide
been after these guys?

About a month.

This is their fourth robbery.

Same team of three every time.

They roll in,
knock around the bank manager,
take what they can.

Total take's over 200 grand.

Yeah, but why beat
on the manager?

It's not like it gets them
a bigger score.

The spectacle's part of
their pattern, too.

These guys aren't camera shy.

This is from
their last robbery.

This money's for you,
Los Angeles!

(WHOOPS)

Who keeps filming them?
It doesn't look like

it was just caught
on some bystander's phone.

Nah, you see that
watermark in the corner?

That's a way for stringers

or independent cameramen
to mark their material

when they sell it to the news.

My brother Terry chases
this kind of stuff.

Flame's on both videos,
they're shot by
the same person.

I already called
the TV station.

They won't say
who gave them the footage.

You know what,
Terry might know.

Stringers all swim

in the same circles.
(PHONE CHIMES)

Looks like we caught a break.
Ballistics got a hit

on the dropped gun.
Registered to a Scott Zarba.

The gun from today also
matches a slug pulled

from the wall of the Jericho
Pharmacy last year.

That was an RHD case
we never solved.

Retired cop was unlucky
enough to be there

when the place was robbed.
Pulled his personal weapon,
ended up paralyzed.

The guy I chased was masked,
but the description of Zarba,

that sounds like the robber
I squared off with.

Burrows, let me tag along
to pick him up.

I might be able to I.D. him.

HONDO: Commander?

Got a second?

What's up?

You're closing the door.

That's never a good sign.

Sir, you told me a ways back

that the brass was committed
to improving how it handles
racial violations.

Have you seen something
you need to report?

I'm not saying that I did.

But let's say
I know an officer
with firsthand knowledge

about a group of active,
racist cops.

Now this officer may not want
to come forward

because he knows
the case wouldn't
get anywhere.

But I want to know
what the department will do
to guarantee that it does?

Well, um...

I'm supposed to tell you

this officer needs to report
these racist cops

to I.A. immediately.

We'll stick 'em
on administrative duty,

investigate the claims,
and if they're guilty,

we'll fire their asses.

But we both know it never
actually works like that.

Tell me something
I don't know.

I wish I could.

But burden of proof is still
the same to make
a charge stick.

Cops will always stick up
for their teammates.

And union lawyers,

they will fight tooth and nail
to keep their clients' badges.

(SCOFFS)
So, after all that talk,

system's still not set up
for good people
to come forward.

What do you want me to say?

It comes down
to hard evidence.

Yeah, I know.

Hondo?

So are you gonna tell me
who I need to be
worried about?

It's not my place, sir.

But maybe Durham could be next
up on Armory rotation.

Scott Zarba?
LAPD.

What do you want?

How about you come out and
show us your hands
for starters?

Where were you this morning?

Here, working on my ride.

Then why'd we find your gun
at a bank that was robbed?

40 caliber Sig.

Purchased four years ago.
Ring a bell?

You got the wrong guy.

I lost that piece a while ago.

Was that before or after
you robbed the
Jericho Pharmacy

and shot an off-duty cop?

(METAL CLANGING)

(GRUNTING)

ZARBA: Okay, okay!

I threw that gun away.

Tossed it in a dumpster.

But I didn't rob any bank.

Been here all morning.

Ask the neighbors.

He's not the guy
I chased this morning.

Still got him
on the pharmacy job.

On your stomach.
Hands behind your back.
(HANDCUFFS CLICKING)

(KNOCKING)

Dom and Street,
come on in.

Been waiting for you.

Welcome to my little slice
of paradise.

It's been a minute
since we caught up.

Is it all good here?

Yeah. Band upstairs
finally moved out.

The Thai place
across the street
knows my order by heart.

Finally pulled the trigger on
a home entertainment system.

So, yeah, life is good,
my friend.
Listen.

We need your help with a case.
We're looking for a stringer
who shot some footage

of a bank robbery.

I would probably help you out.
I got out of the game

a couple months ago, though.
You quit?

Yeah.
But you shoot great stories.
What happened?

THESE NEW KIDS,
THEY'RE VIDEO JOURNALISTS.

The competition is younger,
faster, cheaper.

Just couldn't keep up.

Don't... (CHUCKLES)

don't worry about me, Dom.

I still catch
the 2:00 a.m. special

at Mel's every night
with the old crew.

Probably be nocturnal
for the rest of my life.

You might still be able
to help us then.

You know who shoots
with this logo?

Mm. Her name's
Lindsey David.

She puts a fire logo
on her things

'cause she thinks
she's hot stuff.

(CHUCKLES)
I'll see what we have on her.

Thanks, man.
Yeah, brother.

(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

So, how much all this
set you back?

Oh, I got more than I expected
when I sold off
some of my gear.

I have some free time
on my hands, so why not
live a little, right?

This doesn't sound
like much of a long-term plan.

Don't stress, bro.
Something else
will come along.

And how long's
that gonna take?
As long as it takes.

Because the right wave comes

(LAUGHS)
when it comes.

HONDO: Hey, Deacon.

What's up?

I want to show you something.

I looked into those other cops
that you mentioned

from Durham's
little backyard luau.

Gibson has a list
of excessive force complaints
longer than my arm.

Ellis switched
departments twice

for undisclosed reasons.

Both their arrest records

are as racially skewed
as Durham's.

Why are you showing me this?

Because this isn't
just a few guys making jokes
at a barbecue, man.

This is a group of cops
whose screwed-up views on race

have directly affected
their actions on the job.

So what are we gonna
do about it?

I already did something,

I went to my team leader.

What more
do you expect from me?

More.

Are you really okay
with what you heard?
No, of course not.

But I'm not going to I.A. with
just my word against theirs.

That's not enough.

Those charges
would never stick.

That's why we need
hard evidence.

Evidence that Durham
and his pals can't deny.

You want me to record them?

Well, I highly doubt
that I'm gonna be invited
to the next barbecue.

Cops don't turn on other cops.

But it's okay for them
to turn on Black people?

Other minorities?

Deac, I am trying to make
a difference
in this department.

In this city.

I can't do this by myself.

Well, I can't do that.

I don't want these guys
protected either, but...

I can't do that.

Okay.

STREET: You shoot this,
Lindsey?

It's very good work.
Right?

Made a pretty penny
selling it.

Yeah, I really love
how close you get
to the action.

That angle on the door
as they roll out?

Talk about perfect timing.

Almost seems like
you knew the robbery
was gonna happen

before it happened.

You get there early,

you set up across the street.

These bank robbers
buddies of yours?

I got a text from an unknown
number with
a time and a place.

I'm a stringer, I chase tips.

Look, we just want to stop
these guys before
someone gets killed.

Just let us see your phone
and help us figure out
who they are.

I don't have to do that.

You can't compel me
to give up a source.

You knew a bank robbery
was gonna happen,

and instead of warning
someone, you filmed it.

So if you want us
to come after you...

How? I'm a news-gathering
organization.

I have rights.

You're not getting
ahold of my phone.

Hicks says you found something
big on this robbery crew.
What do you got?

Zarba may not be
one of our robbers,

but his gun was used by them.

Took some digging,
but Deac and I
looked at security footage

within a mile radius
of Zarba's pharmacy robbery
from a year ago, found this.

DEACON: That's Zarba
dumping his gun,

and that's about
30 minutes later.

That's Jon Hardy,
a dishwasher
at the restaurant.

He was laid off a few weeks
later due to cutbacks.

Well, he's got no record.

Says he lives in The Jungle,
has his whole life.

The Jungle?

Hardy's neighborhood used to
be a gang hot spot
in the '90s.

Cops called it The Jungle
because it's small,

dense and dangerous.

But the locals call it
The Jungle because
of the trees.

Name dates back
to when it was built.

Jungle may have had
its rough days
in the past, but it's mostly

working-class families now,
just trying to get by.

In their videos, the crew
promised to deliver the bank's
money back to working people.

Maybe The Jungle's
where they were talking about.

Let's call the team.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

All right, listen,
Hardy lives on
the second floor.

Deac and Street, take point.
Chris, cover the stairs.

Tan and I will take
the courtyard.

What's going on?
Sir, I need you
to go back inside.

Has this got something to do
with the bank robberies?

Why? You know something?
Nah.

(CAR ALARM BLARING)

HONDO:
It's time to move, now.

Do not engage
with the residents.
We're here for Hardy.

Hondo.

MAN: Get out of here.
WOMAN: Hell no!

You have no business here!

Those are good boys
you're after!

How do you know
who we're looking for?

I'm not saying anything
to you.

LAPD!

We got eyes on Hardy.

(DOOR OPENS)

Someone just let Hardy
into their unit!

Complex knows we're here
for Hardy.

Tan! Don't fire, don't fire.

(FIRECRACKERS POPPING)

STREET:
Is that gunfire?
That's a negative, Street.

It's just the neighborhood,
they're covering for Hardy.

Don't lose him.

STREET: Hardy's not in here.
There's a window
to the back alley.

Pursue on foot.
Tan and I will cut Hardy off
in the A.V.

Move, Tan, move.

TAN: Get out of the way!
Move!

HONDO: Don't escalate.
Hold up, hold up.

Look around, man.

(CAR ALARM CONTINUES BLARING)

DEACON: There's nothing
but trees back here.

I've got no sign of Hardy.

He's gone, Hondo.

(PEOPLE MURMURING)

Whole block helped Hardy
escape yesterday.

As far as I'm concerned,
that makes them accomplices.

What do you want to do, arrest
the entire neighborhood?

Just because they knew
what was going on

doesn't mean they were
involved in the robberies.

If they're taking money
they know was stolen?
Might as well be.

This ain't a block full
of criminals, Tan.

Things are a lot
more complicated than that.

Ma'am, listen,
we're not here to hassle you.

We just want to find Hardy
before he hurts anyone else
worse than he already has.

Those boys haven't hurt anyone
who hasn't had it coming.

Besides, plenty of people here
getting hurt every day

and no one's doing
nothing about it.

Just tell us what's
going on, then.

Rest of the world
might be getting back
to normal,

but here,
we're still suffering.

Most of us haven't
got our jobs back.

Doesn't matter that we're
trying, system doesn't care.

They're done waiting,
so they're throwing people
out of their own homes,

replacing them
with people who can pay.

Hold up. No one can
evict you right now.

The city put a hold in place
last year that's still
in effect.

Can't evict you, no,

but they can figure out
other ways to get you out.

They can turn off your power,
your plumbing.

I was only two months behind
when they did it to me.

When I called the police,

they asked if I was sure
I had paid my utility bill.

What's happening
with you isn't right.

Call me if it happens again.

TAN: But you're still here.
So, guess
you sorted it out somehow?

The neighborhood pitched in.

The greedy bastard who owns
this place-- Bosowski,

he's the one trying
to drive us out.

He owns half the buildings
on this block.

That's the real criminal
you should be going after.

You're wasting your time
chasing after good men
trying to help here.

These guys are playing
Robin Hood.

They're stealing money to pay
the rent for their neighbors.

Which means I doubt
we'll find anyone else
willing to talk here.

Then we follow the money.

If the stolen cash is in
the hands of the landlord,

then he's who we need
to be talking to.

(PHONE VIBRATING)

Hey, what's up?

Hey, buddy. I heard things
didn't go so well
for you guys with Lindsey.

She's been running her mouth
in our circles

saying that she stood up
to SWAT.

You really called
to tell me that?

No, I called you
because I'm staring
right at her.

I didn't like hearing
your name in her mouth,

so I went by a few of her
old haunts, trying to see if

I could see
anything suspicious.
Found her instead.

Terry, don't get involved
in this.

I'm serious, man.
You sure?

I mean, she kind of digs me.

Now is the wrong time
to try playing cop.

I get you got nothing
going on in your life,

but please,
don't make mine harder.

Go home now.

All right, enough, tough guy.

I was just trying
to help you out.

Talk to you later, Dom.

Terry's trying to tail
Lindsey on the down-low.

Down-low? Your brother's
the size of a mountain.
There is no down-low with him.

If he wanted to keep chasing
folks, he shouldn't have quit

being a stringer
for no good reason.

Well, he said that he quit
'cause he couldn't

keep up anymore.
You don't believe him?

Terry's never stuck
with a job in his life.

Okay? He does what he loves
till he doesn't anymore.

Then it's on
to the next thing,
like a new toy.

Lot of people are like that.
Yeah, well,

I don't have to look out
for a lot of other people.

Who do you think's
gonna cover the rent when
he's in between paychecks?

I'm the one who keeps him
from hitting rock bottom.

I wouldn't even mind
doing it so much

if he took things
more seriously.

But right now he's jobless,
he's living off leftovers,

and instead of figuring out
his next steps,

he's running around
playing P.I.

Feels like he knows
I'm always gonna be there
to catch him when he falls,

so he just keeps jumping.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Talk to them up there.
All right?

Ah, it's gonna be a beauty.

Either of you
looking for a place?

Mr. Bosowski, we believe
tenants in your buildings

have been robbing banks
and using the stolen money

to pay off rents in
their neighborhood.

Recognize this guy?
Lives in The Jungle.

He's working with two others
we need to find.

Look, a lot of people,
especially in that area,

do all kinds of things
to make rent.

It's not my responsibility.

Well, if we can get
a look at your books...

(SCOFFS) Not without
a warrant. Sorry.

I got a business to protect.

Even if you have to shut off
some lady's power, right?

Long as you get your
money in the end?

You know,
when the city froze evictions,

they gave a green light
for every cheat in the city

to just stop paying rent.

A lot of those people
can't control what's happening
with their jobs.

I have bills to pay, too.
I can't just stop paying them.

You know what?
I do recognize that guy.

Yeah, he came to an eviction
protest last spring.

Two of his buddies
chained themselves
to my building.

One of them spit on me, so
I took a picture
for my lawyers.

See what I'm dealing with?

I saw that guy in
The Jungle yesterday.

Maybe just found our crew.

We got to get out
of town, lay low.

BARTIS:
What?

Yo, you saw how the block
rallied around us yesterday.

We're heroes. I want
to hit another bank today.

We still got a little cash
left from the last time
we can give out.

I had three more families
reach out to me this morning.

We swore we would try
to save everyone.

We've done a lot of good.

We've helped a lot of people.

But I'm quitting now,

while we're still ahead.

You can't quit.

The job takes three.
Right.

One on the cash,
one on the customers,

while, uh, you beat the hell
out of the manager for fun?

The message is as important
as the cause.

Yeah.

Or maybe you just like
hurting people.

Or being on TV.

Fine. Go.

We can do it ourselves.

I'll have to watch
the customers, so

maybe I'll shoot the bank
manager in the head.

Could shoot the tellers, too.

Much more efficient. Hmm?

Or...

...we do it the way
we always do.

The three of us.

Hey, Sarge, wait up.

Hey, Lee, how's it going?

I'm bored out of my mind.
Hicks got me on Armory duty

all week, and it's not
even my turn.

Rocker says it's
"haze the new guy,"

but Malhotra's new, too,
and he's in the field, so

maybe it's just
"haze the white guy."

We all have to pay our dues.

Yeah, right.
Well, almost all of us.

Hey, the guys and I are
gonna grab a drink

after the shift tomorrow.
Ah, you know what, I can't.

Oh, come on, man,
they want to hear
some real SWAT war stories.

I've been on a leash
ever since I joined.

We're still working
that robbery crew, so, uh...

But you know what,
I'll-I'll think about it.

Sounds good. Hey.

Don't get too caught up
doing Harrelson's job for him.

(DURHAM CHUCKLING)

Using this photo from
an eviction protest
a year ago,

we were able to I.D.
the rest of our crew.

We already knew Hardy.

No record, using a gun
he found by chance.

Not the hardened
criminal type.
What about these two?

CHRIS:
Aaron Landolt falls
in the same boat.

Still lives in the same
apartment where he grew up.

Bounces between minimum-wage
work to pitch with the rent.

No record either.
Ben Bartis, on the other hand,

he's been brought in
for trespassing, vandalism
and disturbing the peace.

All charges you might get
for expressing

your First Amendment right
a little too loudly.

Hardy and Landolt
lost their jobs last year.

We think Bartis
recruited them

when their landlords began
looking for creative ways
to evict people.

Screwed-up solution
to a screwed-up problem.

If it were just about
the money,

Bartis wouldn't need
to assault a bank employee

or tip off a camera crew;
it's about something more.

When I saw him at the bank,

I didn't see empathy
in his eyes, only anger.

Hey, I just got a call
from Terry.

He's been following
that stringer Lindsey all day.

Lindsey just set up her camera
outside a bank in Brentwood.

This institution
is a sickness!

You should be ashamed
of yourself.

We're good!

HARDY: Time's up. We gotta go.

You're the sick one!

(PEOPLE GASPING)

Let's go!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

LAPD. Drop your weapon!
Weapons on the ground!

Come on, let's go.
Let's go!

(PANTING)
What the hell was that?

We had to get away.

We shot at cops.

I'm done.

He's right, man.
This is crazy.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(OFFICER GROANS)

They went that way.

DEACON: Street and I
will stay with them,
check the bank.

30-David. We got
an officer down.

Need an R/A to our location.

Street, grab
the med kit.

Chris, Tan, with me.

Hey, she knew about
the robbery. Grab her up.

Hey, turn that off now.

(SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE)

Chris, go.

TAN:
Clear!

Hardy and Landolt.

Had to have been Bartis
who did this.

CHRIS: Kill his own partners?
Why?

Maybe his mission
wasn't their mission.

If Bartis didn't hesitate
to shoot his own crew
in the back...

What else is he willing to do?

Just heard from Rocker.
50-Squad searched

Bartis's apartment,
no sign of him.

I doubt he's coming back.
Said the place was bare,
no personal effects.

He really never spent a cent
of that stolen cash
on himself.

RHD's scouring
all known associates.

He can't hide forever.
No, Bartis won't be hiding.

The situation in The Jungle
hasn't changed, and that's
what it's always been about.

So many people have wronged
that neighborhood

over the years, he could be
going after anyone.

All the more reason
to find him before
someone else gets hurt.

I don't know
what gets me more,

that The Jungle
turned to Bartis
instead of us,

or that we let 'em down
in the first place.

Building trust in the police
is never easy,
especially in L.A.

We're gonna find him, Tan.

Durham said he's
on Armory duty.

You told Hicks, didn't you?
I didn't use your name.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

HONDO: Hey.
Hey.

You all right?

No.

No. It's uh...

It's been
a hell of a few days.

Talk to me.

You always find time
for my drama,

now it's my turn to listen.

(CHUCKLES)
Have a seat.

Sit.

Yes, ma'am.
(CHUCKLES)

One of my guys

he uncovered a group of racist
cops in the department.

Yeah.

So we had some words on how
we were gonna deal with them.

Long story short,

he'd rather
sit this fight out.

Damn. I mean, you'd think
after years of

working side by side with you,
he'd see the struggle.

The cop in me gets it.

He'd be putting his entire
career on the line,

and if other cops found out...

...there's no coming back
from that.

And that's just how
the PD is, everywhere.

But there's another part of me
that's just so angry at myself
for not pushing him harder.

(SIGHS)
He's a good man.

I mean, hell, he's,
he's a great man.

I just don't understand
the compromise here.

He's had his own experience,

probably very different
from yours.

I've been working
so hard to do good.

I tell the people
in this community

the police can do better,
that we will do better.

But if I can't get
a good cop like him on board,

how is it ever gonna work?

It's gonna work because
it's the right thing to do,
period.

It's not your job
to convince your friend
of what your struggle is.

You're not his tutor
on racism.
(CHUCKLES)

You know, your guy really is
a lucky man to have you
to keep him in check.

(SIGHS) Um...

I need to tell you something.

We ended things.

Last month, actually.

Why didn't you say anything?

These talks, I didn't
want them to stop.

I didn't want to mess that up.

Nichelle,

this has been one of the
roughest years of my life.

You've been there for me.

The last thing
that I would want to do
is mess that up.

You need to take the burden
off yourself, Hondo.

Your friend, if he is
truly a good man,

he'll find his way.

So you got a call
from that woman you gave
your car to yesterday?

She was crying.
I could barely
understand her.

I think her landlord is
pulling another fast one.

They're throwing us out.
All of us.

Bosowski is saying
because she paid rent

with stolen bank money,
it's a felony.

The city's eviction ban
doesn't protect her anymore.

He can legally evict anyone

who took cash
from the robberies.

I mean, that's practically
the, the entire block.

You think Bartis
knows about this?

Loretta, have you seen
Ben Bartis since yesterday?

Is it true what they're saying
he did to Jon and Aaron?

Yeah, it is.

He was here this morning.

When he saw the notices,
he started yelling.

Said this had all been
for nothing.

Bartis was trying
to help these people,

now they're all gonna be
evicted because of him.

There's nothing
holding him back.

He's going after Bosowski.

(SIRENS WAILING)

(GUNFIRE)

Gunfire from the trailer.

(SIREN WAILS)

Bartis is on the move!
Deac and Street,
check the trailer.

Tan, Chris, you're with me.
We got Bartis.

Go!
(GUNSHOTS)

Chris, count the floors. Move.

Tan.

Fourth floor.

Tan, go right, I got left.

TAN: Bartis, stop!

No way out of this, Bartis!

Your neighborhood's
still gonna grieve
if you end up in a body bag!

I already fixed everything!

(GRUNTS)

What do you mean
you fixed everything?

DEACON: 30-David.
We found Bosowski inside.

Shot in the chest.

We couldn't save him.

Congratulations.
You solved absolutely nothing.

(PANTING)

(ELLIS OVER PHONE)
And I'm just thinking,
"Why are you crying?

Your son was a thug."

GIBSON: It was a double
homicide. Those animals
killed each other.

There's no civility
down there.

DURHAM: Look, I can't wait
for my first raid.

Every bullet is justified,
if you ask me.

Hey. How was
your night?

Was that Lee's voice?

Yeah, um, him
and some of his friends.

That's who I was
with tonight.

Why were you recording them?

It's complicated.

(SIGHS)
Actually, no. It's not.

(GRUNTS SOFTLY)

(EXHALES)

They're racists, Annie.

They crack jokes, brag
about breaking the rules,
targeting minorities.

And, uh, tonight, they,

they invited me to join.

What does this kid see in me?

I mean, he could've--
he could've asked anybody.

Lee sees you
as a SWAT leader,

a mentor, fellow father.

No, it's not just that.

We've talked a lot
about the job

a-and I've agreed with some
of the things he said.

I still do. Uh, cops are
being unfairly vilified.

The only way that you should
get ahead is your merit.

No, David, thinking that
doesn't make you a racist.

No.

But the stuff on here?

(EXHALES) I mean, if you
really believe those things,

there's no way that you can
police in an unbiased way.

Hondo tried to tell me,
and I...

I didn't want to believe him.

Yeah, but in the end,
you did.

This time.

But, what, 20 years,

I've laughed off
remarks like that?

Is that who Lee saw?

What kind of person
does that make me?

You are not like those men.

Okay, let's say
that that's true.

Maybe that's not
enough anymore.

DURHAM: Every bullet
is justified, if you ask me.
Bam, bam.

Just freed up a prison cot
for someone who can
actually be rehabilitated.

I don't need
to hear anymore.

You're gonna need
to watch your back.

And not just
for Durham.

All three of the officers
you named

will be removed
from the field immediately.

Are you sure
you want to do this?

No.

But I can't do nothing.

In that case,

I'll need
to show Durham the desk

he'll be watching collect dust
until this is settled.

Thank you, Sergeant.

(DOOR OPENS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(GROANS) You two again?

(WHISPERS) Look, I already
told you everything I saw.

Bartis has been arrested.
It's all over.

Wish I could say that changes
anything around here.

Yeah, we know. That's why
we wanted to ask for a favor.

Do you mind introducing us
to some of your neighbors?

(LAUGHS)

We know the police
have let this
neighborhood down

in the past. We want
to change that.

I've done a lot of work
with a nonprofit law firm

that helps communities
in situations like yours.

They might be able to help.
We would love

to talk to as many people
as we can about it.

We wish we could do more,
but we wanted to do something.

(SIGHS) Not sure
you'll find many folks

interested in talking
to police today.

But I'll ask. Wait right here.

Thank you, Officers.

LUCA: Hey.
Mm.

You hear to chew me out
for tailing Lindsey?

Nah. We wouldn't have... got
that robbery crew without you.

Was still incredibly stupid,

but when has that
ever stopped you before?

I'm actually pretty impressed.

I mean, look,
you knew where to look,

followed your subject,
kept a low profile.

I see why you were
such a great stringer, man.

Look, dude, I told you,
I'll find a new thing.

I'll figure out a way to pay
the bills. Not a big deal.

You're too old
to keep doing this.

If I have a rough
couple of weeks

or months,
I'll handle it.

You just got to
let me be, bro.

Just looking out for you.
I'm...

It's what a big brother's
supposed to do.

You don't even know
what you've done for me
already, do you?

We're Lucas.

Grandpa was O.G. SWAT.

Dad was gonna make sure
that one of us
kept that legacy alive.

You were the go-to kid.
The oldest. I...

You took that burden,
shouldered it,
went down that track.

I...

I got to grow up
just being me.

Thank you for that.

Hey, you remember where Dad
took me on my 21st birthday?

Not a bar for my first beer,

he took me to enroll
in the police academy.

Yeah. But, I mean, it
paid off, though, right?

Look at you. You're rolling
with the best of the best.

Look, I love it. I really do.

But sometimes it feels

like I was cast in this role
without having a choice.

Never thought about
what else I could be.

Maybe that's why
I get on your case

every time
you switch careers,

'cause I'm a little jealous.

I never had that choice.

You're a grown-ass man.
You can do whatever you want.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

You got nothing
to prove to anybody.

You got a nest egg, right?

You and I,
take the food truck,
tour the country.

(LAUGHS)
Filling bellies,
solving crime.

I can't

talk to the team
about stuff like this.

Thanks.

That's what brothers are for.

DURHAM:
Hey, Kay!

Where do you think
you're going, huh?

An I.A. investigation? Really?

For some words? Is this
some kind of a joke?

Hey. Watch yourself.
You're talking to
a commanding officer.

Oh, are you scared
everyone's gonna hear

how you spied on
another officer?

Recorded me
without my consent?

Lee, why don't we
go outside?

I've got no respect left
for your rank.

You know they pulled me
off the streets
and put me on a desk?

What am I supposed
to tell my wife, huh?

Why don't you tell her
some of the things
you told me?

I'm not ashamed of anything
on that tape. Those are just
truths of the job.

It's the way it is.
We all think those things.

And if you tell me that
you don't, then you're a liar.

If you truly believe that
that's what this job is about,

you never deserved it
in the first place.

My PBA reps are gonna tear
this case to shreds,

and you're gonna be
the only person
hurt by it.

Yeah, they'll put me
back on the street.

But you have to watch your
back the rest of your career.

Whatever's left of it.

At least I won't have to worry
about seeing my face on TV

because something I did
caused this city
or this country

to tear itself apart again.

Good luck with everything.

Sorry it took me a while
to figure out
the right thing to do.

It's all right.

We good?

We're good.
