The best deal all around is an only child.

The kid gets all the attention. The parents get to stay focused.

Plus, if anything's broken, you always know who did it.

But what about all the knocking heads with your brother? All that girl stuff

do with your sister?

That's what a kid needs.

There should be a whole house full. In fact, you should have ten kids.

Why?

You can play any sport with two teens of five.

Oh, you're so male.

You just want your wife barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

No, I want my wife surrounded by servants, showered with diamonds on a

Oh, yeah, I could live with that.

Showtime. Police!

Drop the can! Put your hands on the railing!

I got it.

Please,

I'm sorry. I don't... I didn't... Put your hands behind your head.

TV7 in pursuit of a misdemeanor suspect now in the water on the North Side of

Santa Monica Pier.

Roger, we're TV7.

Who has mystery, taught to fear her majesty.

Lonely children, void of rare.

Maniacs don't care, because they are.

Because they are.

I know this guy from TV.

A friend?

A acquaintance.

Well, whoever he is, he owes you big time. He's still breathing.

The pulse is good.

Call an ambulance, will ya?

1 -PB -7, I need an ambulance from Santa Monica Pier.

Roger, 1 -PB -7.

Last guy I'd expect to be catch of the day.

Stand and see, it was for me.

Take a look around,

just another day in LA.

Spacey is free.

Someday.

One minute down.

Just another day.

Oh.

Merritt, that's medical emergency response interlinked team.

Cooperative venture between the Santa Monica PD, the fire department, and the

County lifeguards. Lieutenant Palermo and I had the privilege of launching

new project, which includes paramedic level care and life support equipment up

and down the boardwalk on bikes ready to go.

Now we made sure to get the two best people on the planet to kick it off, Dan

Foster and Alexa Sholak.

Woo!

Protecting future.

You guys need to recertify for EMS.

Dan and Alexa, check out on the bikes. You'll train each other.

Can I get a flu shot out of this?

All right, all right. The public expects a certain level of professionalism.

Let's not try to have too much fun, huh?

All right, good, Victor, volunteer. You and Corey are up first.

That's fine.

I'm going to get you some training wheels there, Daniel.

Just lead on, hotshot. Let's go.

Hey, Lonnie, if you have some time later on, we could talk about yesterday's

peer -diver. All right. I'll be at the substation all day.

Great. All right.

And how much work you put into this? I just wanted to say thanks.

Well, I heard you were coming on board. I made it all worthwhile.

No, you said that to all your old girlfriends?

Not even close.

I just hope your husband's okay with it.

Tony, my husband isn't my husband anymore.

See you later.

I don't know.

Not bad, I guess.

Do I look stressed?

No more than usual.

That bad, huh?

Actually, this is the worst it's ever been.

How so?

Trickle of water can erode even the strongest rock.

Interesting choice of words. Do you view yourself as a rock?

I used to. And what's eroding you?

Blood.

From all those people I couldn't save. From that woman who died when I turned

back.

So how do you know Dennis Morrow, Lonnie?

When he isn't spray -painting walls or jumping off a pier, he's president of

Green Earth.

Lonnie was one of the founders of Green Earth in the late 80s.

We were all about peace, love, and Mother Nature.

Dennis joined when he was a teenager.

He was radical even then.

We know he got busted for tree spiking in Redding. Blogger lost his hand, but

they couldn't prove the connection.

Tip of the iceberg.

This guy's extreme.

How extreme?

Sabotage, violence, bombing.

He chained himself to a Petramco tanker. It's not extreme, it's nuts.

Which is why I left Green Earth when this faction took over.

Knowing you, I'm sure you've made some calls.

Word is, Dennis is about to launch a total war against Petramco.

I'm not sure how it's going to shake down, but I am sure I'll be wishing he

still spray painting graffiti.

I think it looks thick.

Don't start then.

I have not begun to start.

Well, that sounds vaguely like a threat.

I didn't mean it to be vague.

Let it go.

It's all right. Let him talk. We're very interested.

Don't patronize me, lady.

Hey, Rembrandt.

I'll take that tone with my partner. You don't get it.

I'm one of the good guys.

Could have fooled us.

Patramco.

They're the enemy.

Groundwater contamination.

You know what that means?

Innocent children getting cancer.

kidney failure, blood diseases.

And how does your little paint job change any of that?

It lets the people know what criminals like Petramco are doing.

Just for the record, I don't totally disagree with you, but there's a right

and a wrong way to fight.

They hide behind borders, bend the letter of the law, pay bribes to

How right is that?

Out of our jurisdiction, if they spray paint the side of your house, we take

them in too. The paint's just a warning, officer.

It's going to get a lot uglier than that before it's over.

I like the way you blow that whistle, pretty lady.

This is Mackenzie, 10 -3 -3. It's Tower 12. I repeat, 10 -3 -3.

That's right up ahead.

Nobody's going to get hurt, okay? Put the knife away and just move on.

Oh, nobody's going to get hurt. You and I are just going to play a little bit,

huh?

You're going to pay for that.

So in a couple weeks, you won't even have a scar.

Get over here.

What's up?

You don't ever, ever insert yourself in police action again.

They attacked a friend of mine.

That's not the point, Dan.

First time I saw a dead person was on this job.

I couldn't sleep for a week afterwards.

Well, I want you to know that is a normal reaction.

Yeah. You see, that's the problem.

I sleep like a baby now.

That is.

Also a normal reaction.

You're going to tell me that I'm insulating myself against the pain,

way of dealing with the pressure. There's nothing wrong with protecting

after such a traumatic event.

Yeah, there is.

Because it means that death doesn't affect me anymore.

I don't want to become that person.

I just realized something. I want to kiss you so bad. My lips ache.

Suck on ice.

TC, come on. Remember, we made a promise. Not on the job.

Before we were here, alone.

And who knows when this moment might happen again.

Any Pacific Blue units? Possible malicious mischief complaint. Pico storm

Hold that nut.

This is 1PB7 responding.

Reluctantly.

I've almost got it.

Back away from the pipe now, Dennis.

I don't think you want me to.

Just do it. And slowly.

Let me see your hands.

Whatever you say.

You got it wrong.

You know you're right to remain silent. Use it! Chris!

I'm okay!

Has anybody heard? Everybody got clear.

Have you lost it completely? What were you thinking?

It wasn't my bomb! You lion sack of... He did!

He did do it!

You alright?

Yeah, I'm okay. How are you?

Okay, I guess.

You don't sound sure.

What do you want to hear? That it's a miracle more cops aren't killed in the

line of duty?

Do you ever think about it being you?

Of course I do.

But only afterwards.

When something's going down, you just let adrenaline carry you through.

Like when the bomb went off. Yeah.

Later I realized I could have been spread all over that beach like meat

but at the time, I... You enjoyed the intimacy with danger.

I don't know if I want to admit that.

We agreed to talk to you without our attorney.

At least give us the benefit of the doubt.

So why don't you tell us the truth?

We did.

Patramco uses that drain pipe.

We got a tip to test the runoff for high concentrations of chromium.

But you can't tell us who called you. We get anonymous tips all the time.

So you went to go test the water, and that's when you found the bomb.

Correct.

Then I saved everyone on the beach.

Why are you treating me like a criminal?

Because as far as we're concerned, you are criminals.

You've made terrorist threats in the past, and you've been known to carry

out. If I was going to bomb Protramco, you think I'd waste my time with a

pipe? It's obviously a setup.

A multinational corporation with billions of revenues is so concerned

they're willing to bomb their own facilities.

This is a war.

A stunt like this is cheap to fix, highly visible, and easy to blame on

earth.

meant to take us out with the explosion.

And they damn near did.

Try to look past your uniforms.

Maybe you'll see what's really going on.

Ask yourself this.

What if we're telling the truth?

What do you two think?

Guilty as hell.

Chris? I'm the one who's guilty.

I've made a job much harder than it needs to be.

Officer Kelly,

stress debriefings are strictly confidential.

Nothing that's said here can be repeated or accessed by anyone else.

They're for your benefit only.

I'm seeing a fellow officer.

And it's affecting you.

I'm worried that he's going to get hurt. He's worried that I'm going to get

hurt.

Now I know why they discourage these things.

What do you plan on doing to ease the additional stress?

I don't know.

I mean, I love the job.

And I'm falling in love with him.

Those are good things.

I've always loved this place.

When things started to go sour between Rod and me, I used to come here just to

think.

Yeah.

I have a place to plug it right up the beach.

It feels weird to be here with someone that I actually trust.

I guess I just got so used to being alone.

Yeah.

Alone isn't all it's going to have to be.

So many times I wish things had turned out differently.

Maybe they have now.

I have a lot of other issues in my life that make things more complicated than

that.

I understand.

When you're ready, I won't be that hard to find, huh?

Okay, what is START and when do we use it?

Standard triage and rapid assessment. It's the protocol for prioritizing

in a multiple casualty incident.

Good. What constitutes an MPI?

Anytime victims outnumber rescuers.

Okay, you're the first rescuer on scene in a bus crash.

Take me through the steps.

Tony?

First I separate any people who aren't hurt, then I go right to assessment.

Which is?

ABC, airway, breathing, circulation.

I would do a head tilt, chin lift, and make sure the air passage is clear, and

then check for breathing and pulse.

And if either one is absent?

I would tag him black and move on.

So you never do CPR during triage?

Not as long as there are victims still waiting to be triaged.

Wow, that's not so mercenary.

I mean, you could save somebody's life.

True, but you'll do more good in the long run if you help the victims that

the greatest chance of survival.

Initial triage is very quick.

You might have some time to come back and help the others, but remember, an

is utter chaos.

Triage is the eye of the storm.

I got that new gasket for the pressure gauge. Should be okay now.

What do we got here?

So you guys go ahead. You can probably service that, and then I'll check back

a half hour.

Nate Kelly?

You got him.

I'm Sergeant Callaway.

What's up, Sir Kelly?

Pleasure.

What's on your mind?

Do you know a guy named Dennis Morrow?

Well, if I didn't, you wouldn't be here.

But you got a complaint you want me to sign?

That won't be necessary.

What is it exactly?

Petramco filed seven complaints against Green Earth in the last year. I saw the

legal and administrative people you have in your company.

I was just wondering why your name is on the bottom of each form.

Chief of security.

Pleasure falls on me.

So it's nothing personal.

Oh, no. I never even met the little ass OB.

Mr. Morrow is claiming that Petramco is allowing toxic chemicals to slip through

in its water runner.

Mr. Morrow has accused us of everything except covering up the alien crash at

Roswell. With that aside, sir, he went to test the runoff water from the storm

pipe and found a bomb that you planted in.

Oh, he did, did he?

Dennis Morrow, he's kind of a fanatic, you know what I mean? A saboteur.

He likes to point the finger at us because that way he makes us look like

bad guy. That's his deal.

Well, just to tell him, we'd like to know that you're available just in case

have any more questions.

Oh, yeah. I'm not going anywhere.

But I got a question for you.

I mean, what's it going to take? A dead body for you to see that man for what he

is?

Thank you very much.

Later.

After tomorrow's shift, I want you two to resume regular patrols. You get Chris

and TC to jockey with our friends in red for a few days, huh?

What in the hell was that?

Sounded like thunder.

On a day like this?

All units, record if a possible gas is...

Office Park Speedway and Nautilus respond code 3 the BB 1 2 & 5 responding

I need you and Corny to work this area here. Got it.

Victor and Tommy, I'm going to need you for a search inside.

Use manuals to find precautions and a long -axis drag. And get back out here

fast. Come on, bro. Go.

I'll tell you what.

I know.

Looks like a central ignition point.

Unless there's no gas explosion.

Hello?

Oh, Lord.

It's 1PB1. We have one confirmed fatality.

Roger, 1PB1.

Is there anyone in here?

Anybody else in here?

I want you to keep your legs elevated. Let me know if you have any trouble

breathing. Flat close on the inhale. Open on the exhale.

I can't feel my legs at all.

Okay, you have a possible spine injury.

Does this hurt?

I can't even feel it.

Is she going to be all right? Sir, I need you to back up and give us a little

room. Hey, that's my girlfriend, all right? Then just get out of the way,

please. Don't start pushing me, lady.

Something's wrong.

Oh, damn.

Four, five, two more breaths. Come on, Tony.

Come on, Tony. Come on.

Easy, Tony. You're going to be okay.

What's the matter?

Hey, do something. She doesn't look good, sir. What does that mean?

You help her.

Come on, don't leave me, baby.

Karen.

It's her fault! She could have saved her!

You killed her!

You had a chance to save Karen and you let her die!

What have you done?

Everything was happening so

fast.

People were screaming. There was blood everywhere.

It's hard to imagine that it would get worse, but then... A dead body seems to

weigh less than a live one, like something's gone out of it.

I was so scared bringing out the lieutenant. It was weird, but he was

light as a feather.

When Victor put the lieutenant down, I actually got lightheaded. I just... I

wanted to throw up.

I never felt more helpless in my life.

Thank God for Alexa.

Lieutenant Palermo, everyone. Man of steel.

Hey, hey.

How you doing there, live wire?

I'm serious damage. Except I fried my favorite pair of tenons.

Pretty good for a guy who was clinically dead.

Hey.

Thanks for those kisses.

You brought me back.

I know. I can meet Tony.

I'd like to thank you. I owe you my life.

Don't worry about it.

What is this, the tailgate party or what?

Shouldn't you guys be on the beach?

Some things never change.

Lieutenant Palermo.

This is Frank Todd.

I guess I'm glad to see you're all right.

I know I speak for everyone when I say how sorry we are for your loss.

Yeah, save it, Lieutenant. The last thing I want is your sympathy.

Then what can I do for you?

Well, I guess I just wanted to look into the eyes of the man whose life meant

more to Ms. Sholak here than my girlfriend's.

Mr. Todd, Karen Jacobs died of a ruptured abdominal aorta.

Only a miracle could have saved her life.

She didn't know that then. She abandoned her to perform CPR during triage.

That's a clear violation of protocol.

I'm a lawyer.

This morning I filed a wrongful death action against Ms. Sholak and the

team on behalf of the family of Karen Jacobs.

See you on court.

Thanks.

No long tunnel, no bright light, no beckoning loved ones.

I think I would have liked that.

Just blackness and cold.

It was very cold.

I'm glad I was just a visitor.

How has the experience changed your perspective?

I don't think I've fully absorbed it yet, but I feel an appreciation.

For what?

You.

The taste of the stamp when I made my mortgage payment.

The bird that spotted my bicycle seat this morning.

For life.

Any downside?

My friend Alexa, she could lose everything for saving me.

Are you feeling survivor's guilt?

Why should I? Why should anyone feel guilty?

What kind of system puts you on a life and death line and then punishes you if

you make a wrong decision?

Do you think Alexa made the wrong decision?

Not for me.

Police!

Clear it.

Cover me.

What the hell's going on?

Three people with a weapon, Dennis?

Only the ones who knocked my door down.

What the hell's going on?

Search warrant.

Arrest warrant.

For what? Let me refresh your memory.

Office building.

Dynamite. Two people dead.

Whoa. Back up a second.

Did you miss something?

A woman named Karen Jacobs stopped by to have lunch with her boyfriend. A man

named Roscoe Sherman, 20 -year -old transcogeologist, left three kids

Roscoe Sherman?

Yeah, sound familiar?

A witness saw you follow him through a parking lot a few hours earlier.

Roscoe was my friend.

He was Green Earth Mole inside Patramco, the guy who gave me all my tips.

That's an interesting story.

That's the truth.

You always keep dynamite in your kitchen, Dennis?

It's not mine, I swear. They're setting me up.

Come on!

Hey.

I thought I'd find you here.

I'm glad you did.

You want to talk about it?

You just keep going through this loop.

I mean, could I have done anything else?

If I had spent a little more time, would I have found the internal bleeding? And

if I had, could we have saved her?

Doctors say no.

I know, but it doesn't help.

Hey.

Hey.

Come on.

It's all right, Connie.

Don't stop protecting me. I already know.

My officers have been subpoenaed to testify before a wrongful death, Harry.

I'm sorry.

They have to tell the truth.

Even if it ends my career.

The parents will know you acted in the best possible way. It depends.

And if they look at the rules or the results.

Because I definitely broke the rules to save your life.

And for that, I'll never be able to thank you enough.

to me.

I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know where I'm going.

I know I care about you so much.

But I can't bring you down.

That's it.

Hey, Dan.

Dan, wait up. I got nothing to say to you guys.

Hey, we had no choice.

About testifying, maybe.

But you didn't have to submarine Alexa.

Come on.

Pull over.

What'd you tell me?

We told them when I brought out the lieutenant there was enough personnel to

handle triage and that you managed the situation perfectly.

Even the lawyers know that Karen Jacobs' death was unavoidable. And Tony Palermo

owes Alexa his life.

Dan, we backed her up all the way.

They're going to jerk your ticket. I know it.

Not because of us.

That's great, Carrie.

Now, listen, keep me posted.

What are you saying?

I'm sure Merritt's going to be a big success.

But I can't do it anymore.

I've hit the wall.

The wall doesn't beat us. We beat ourselves.

I've been taking care of everyone else for years.

Now it's time to take care of me.

That's valid.

It's not a reason to quit.

Please, Tony, don't make this harder than it already is.

I won't.

But I can't make it any easier, either.

Hey, guys.

Hey. I heard they filed murder charges against Dennis.

Wish it turned out he may not deserve.

Surprised to hear you say that, T .C. No more surprise than me.

Investigators found this in Roscoe Fairman's pocket.

The post office receipt for a package he sent Dennis the day he died.

What? It's proof that they knew each other.

Roscoe's wife let us go through his personal effects, and we found a half a

dozen others dating back three years.

So Dennis wasn't lying. Roscoe was a mole for Green Earth.

Looks that way. The package was sent to a post office box Dennis owns.

If we could recover the contents.

Might help clear him.

But Dennis had motive, he had opportunity, and he had dynamite in his

possession. But if he's innocent, then we'll have to clear him.

He's the only one willing to stand up for the rest of us.

Cindy.

Cindy, wait a second. I don't have to talk to you.

We want to help.

So far, your track record sucks.

Please, leave me alone. Give us the envelope, Cindy.

Dennis' lawyer says I don't have to give it to you.

There's evidence in there that might help him.

You put him in jail.

Charged him with murder.

Look, Cindy, we know you're scared and confused, but think about it.

If they killed Roscoe to try and keep whatever's in that envelope a secret,

do you think will happen when they learn you have it?

Do you believe Dennis is innocent?

We're open to the possibility.

Do you know what's in that envelope?

Rasko said it was the smoking gun we needed.

It proves that Petramco knowingly diverts contaminated runoff into the

Please, don't let Dennis go to prison.

He didn't kill anyone.

arsenic benzene all known carcinogens all being dumped illegally by tramco

periodic runoff to the pico storm drain this is what a billion dollar

class action lawsuit looks like not to mention evidence in a double murder

are all stamped confidential eyes only above nate callie's signature the tramco

security chief you interview yeah and if we're right lieutenant it all lays out

pretty simply Nate Calley wanted to stop the leak of damaging information from

inside the tramco, so he killed Roscoe Sherman and then set up Green Earth to

take the hit.

That and a confession will get you conviction.

What do you got here?

Speculation and circumstantial evidence.

Which brings us to the part of our program where we need your approval.

This is the Eagle. The pigeon has landed.

He's heading into the amusement park.

10 -4, just past our position.

Not bad.

Then it's taught me everything as a weak spot to attack.

Pretty young girl, aren't you?

Living in a cynical time.

You ought to know.

Is that the money?

Yeah.

I want to pile first.

Victor.

He's the reason why we're making this deal.

I would have turned this over to the cops and let them fry your miserable

Name's Victor, the new president at Greener. For the moment, for the very

moment. I'm not interested in being your friend, okay?

That's a two -way street, pal. But right now, we need each other.

You want the file, we want the money. You wearing a wire, Victor?

Are you going to take my word on it? No.

Turn around.

I don't do business with people that I don't know.

That's fine. We're out of here. Well,

do you think you're the only buyer in town?

I know the cops don't pay well, but I bet a smart, class -action lawyer would

give his children for these moms.

Documents that you signed, federal boy. Hey, slow down, Tiger, all right?

Make sure you make the right decision before you turn your back on me, all

right? Well, unless you're ready to shoot me right here, right now, in front

all these people.

I'd say in two hours, I'd be a rich man on a plane to Hawaii.

But Temco owns half of Hawaii, okay? You better run farther than that if you

want to get away from me.

There's a new era at Green Earth.

And we just don't turn the other cheek anymore.

I see. Your predecessor's in jail for murder.

The guy who sent these documents is deep fried.

What is it that makes you think that you're better, huh?

You think you scare me?

I don't. I don't want to do business with you, okay?

Because you're too stupid.

You bombed your own building just to stop us?

Maybe I'll bomb yours.

Maybe I'll bomb hers.

Give me the file, would you? I'll give you the money. You can go to Hawaii.

You'll never have to look over your shoulder again for the rest of your

Okay, I just have two things to tell you.

One, it was very smart to check me for a wire.

And two, it would have been smarter to check her.

I'm a police officer, and you're under arrest.

Family, mother works from two to three. Father is afraid to be, he

doesn't see him family.

Lonely children born to watch, maniacs for life adopt.

Living motor cars, beneath the smoky blue, turns me on.

It's called

death

by cop, Callie.

It's where a perp wants to die.

But you know when he takes a shot at three police officers and he has them do

the dirty work for him?

Go for it, Nate. Jump.

The fall doesn't kill you.

Maybe the pollutants that you pump into the oceans will.

All right, I'll want a lawyer.

No problem.

I'm sure Patranco's got hundreds of them you can choose from.

I'm sorry you had to fill in for me, Lani.

Nonsense. I'm viewing it as cross -training. I need more bike work anyway.

I feel like I'm letting you down.

We've all been where you are.

There isn't a person in uniform who doesn't understand.

I miss you already.

Me too.

Maybe that means I won't stay away too long.

I like that.

I'll keep a candle burning.

The time and place cheat us, Tony.

There's still time.

And I know a place on the beach.

Hey. Hey, you're on.

Bores, death in the line of duty, suicide, burnout.

Sooner or later, we all confront the black hole.

Try to find creative ways to deny it, but it's always there, stalking you like

some kind of demon in the night.

No one's immune.

No one's immortal.

We all succumb eventually.

Sounds pretty defeated.

I prefer realistic.

Any upside?

Plenty.

I'm satisfied to know that when my time comes, I'll be replaced by some of the

finest young people it's been my pleasure to serve with and train.

Is that enough for you?

More than enough.

Makes it all worthwhile.

Don't try to talk it down.

Why, everyone packed on my town.

Look, stand and see.

It works for me.

Take a look around.

Just another day in L .A.

Anybody, she's more than me.

Anybody,

please see it free.

Someday.

What is it now?

Just another day.
