- Mmm.

My partner and I, we...

But there was all this crazy magic stuff.

I mean, everything that happened

with Brown...

- Hey, hey, hey.

- ...and Hicks and Pollard and Ching...

- They wanted Officer Ward to shoot me.

- Hey. Nick.

They wanted to him to kill me

so they could get the Wand, remember?

And he wouldn't do it

'cause he's a stand-up guy.

He wouldn't do it. But then they said

they would kill me, so he...

he had to take action,

- like, with his gun, right?

- No. That's not my recollection.

Hey, Nick, why don't you just...

If you hold up a second...

- What?

- ...they'll ask us questions.

It's what happened, I swear to God.

We just returned to the call.

But there are forces at play

that are beyond.

- There was, uh, an Elf woman.

- Hey, Nick.

She owned the Wand. Right?

It must've been hers. Not a nice lady.

Dressed very well, but... Like you.

But she was a terrible woman. She...

- Uh, she served the Dark Lord.

- Nick...

- I know it.

- Let them...

- Let them ask us questions.

- They need to know this.

- Let him ask us questions.

- There was an Angel.

All right. That was then

when the gangsters were chasing us.

- Uh, the context is a little off.

- Tikka.

Oh, Tikka.

So sad. Tikka...

Tikka was a young Bright.

She... She... She...

She... She used the Wand

and she saved my life.

I was... My soul was leaving my body,

and she brought me back.

Officer Ward?

We responded to a 415 disturbance call.

Uh, upon approaching the residence,

we realized that it was a safe house

- for an extremist group.

- Full of weird...

We immediately took fire,

uh, at which point we called for backup.

And... unfortunately...

- officers were killed in the exchange.

- I've never seen shooting like it.

He turned around, sight unseen,

four of them, bang, bang, bang, bang.

Dropped...

like it was one bullet.

Sorry, keep going.

Gangsters showed up,

and it just went really sideways

from that point.

And had you guys not shown up...

it would've... it would've been really bad.

Uh, so the real heroes in this

are you guys.

So we wanna say thank you.

Nick, thank the nice federal agents.

Thank you.

So, let me say, unequivocally...

there was no Wand.

And there was no magic.

Just a couple of street cops...

doing our job.

Oh, I know what this is.

Then that's what happened?

Yes, sir. That's exactly what happened.

Yes?

No, I'm with him.

Unequivocally.

Faced with armed terrorists obsessed

with myths from thousands of years ago,

two of our officers held the line.

I hate seeing those scumbags

up there with Rodriguez.

Let it go, Ward.

We know, okay? That's enough.

Officer Daryl Ward, and our nation's first

Orkish police officer, Nicholas Jakoby.

Officer Jakoby.

Congratulations, Ward.
