Courageous
Hey! Hey, no! No! No. Hey, stop!
Get off, man. Get off.
No, stop the truck!
You trying to die?
No.
No. Stop the truck!
Let go, man. You trying to die?
Stop the car! Ah!
Stop the car!
Let go, dawg. Let go, dawg.
Don't!
Ah!
Let it go. Let it go.
Forget this, man. Let's go.
Hurry up, man. This ain't
worth it, dawg. Come on.
Get in.
Sir. Sir. Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Just lay still. We're calling
for help. We're getting help.
Don't worry about the car.
I'm not worried about the car.
It's all right, sweetheart.
It's okay.
There is a baby in the car.
Please hurry. Is he okay?
It's okay.
Yeah, I think it's his dad
that's with him.
Yeah, I think he's all right.
It's okay, it's okay.
Did you notice any other markings?
Maybe a tattoo?
No, sir. It happened so fast.
I think he had on a black do-rag
or something like that.
You know you could've lost your life.
Yes, sir.
But I couldn't risk losing my son.
I was hoping to meet you guys under
better circumstances on Monday.
Monday?
Yep. I start work with you next week.
Nathan Hayes. Kept wondering
how I recognized your name.
Adam Mitchell.
Hi.
Shane Fuller.
Hey, good to meet you.
Good to meet you.
So why Albany?
I wanted to move back to give
my family a better, slower pace.
Heh. I'd say welcome back,
but I hate to say it after a rotten day.
Well, my son is okay,
so I still say it's a good day.
So would you have held on
to the wheel?
Well, I can think of a few ways
he could've died,
but I guess he did
save his kid's life.
I don't know. Would you?
Four-four-five-five-zero.
Where have you been?
Working on reports.
Trying not to miss another deadline.
You missed
Emily's piano recital.
She asked if she could
stay up till you got home.
Dylan is out running.
When he gets back, he's gonna
ask you about that 5K race again.
I'm gonna say no again.
I tried to tell him that.
But he is determined that
And here we go.
Hey, Dad. Can I talk to you?
As long as it's not about a 5K race.
Why not? Other guys are
running it with their dads.
You're already on the track team.
They hardly ever let me run. I
can't sign up unless you run with me.
Doesn't bother me
that you like to run.
This is not the only 5K race.
There's gonna be others.
Can I suggest that you
spend more time with him?
All he wants to do is
Well, then go run with him.
to spend time with him.
Well, you have got
to do something.
He can help me build the shed.
He's gonna see that as your project.
Besides, he's at school
most of the time anyway.
Hey, Daddy.
Hey, sweetheart.
I'm sorry I missed your recital.
That's okay. I messed up three times.
You did?
Yeah.
But then Hannah Stuart messed up
four times, so I felt a little bit better.
You little stinker.
Oh, by the way,
Emily has been invited to
Hannah's birthday party next Friday.
But I told her she was gonna
have to ask you first.
Please. Please let me go.
I promise I'll do my chores
and my homework every day.
She committed any crimes
or misdemeanors lately?
Actually, no.
She's been very good.
She even cleaned her room
without me asking her.
Not by putting everything
in the closet, right?
Ah.
All right,
but you owe me a really big hug.
- Yes. Thank you, Daddy, thank you.
- All right, princess.
Too many birthday parties.
You have too many friends.
All right, you go on to bed.
What are you gonna do?
Come over and eat one.
That's what I'm talking about.
You've got no life.
You come over too.
I've got a life, man.
What are you doing?
This Saturday?
Yeah.
Well, I mean,
I mean...
Hey, I'll see you on Saturday.
All right.
If everyone's here, let's get started.
First things first, Deputy Thomson
has now survived his rookie year.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
I guess that means you can start
using real bullets now. Ha, ha.
I'm gonna see you out there.
Anytime.
I wanna introduce
Thomson's new partner.
His name's Nathan Hayes.
He'll be joining our shift.
He has eight years of experience
in Atlanta, but he's from here.
And we're glad you're here.
Let's welcome him.
Okay, guys,
we have two new warrants out today.
Clyde and Jamar Holloman,
two frequent fliers who have
opened up a new drug operation
on the 600 block of Sheffield.
I'd like both warrant teams
to handle this one.
Everyone else,
stick to your normal beats.
The sheriff
has something to share.
Sheriff.
Thank you.
Had an e-mail come across my
desk I'd like to share with you.
"A study was done on the increase
in violent gang activity.
In almost every case, each
gang member had a similar attribute.
Runaways, dropouts, kids on drugs,
and teens in prison.
That attribute is that most of them
came from a fatherless home.
To put it another way,
when a father's absent
kids are five times more likely
to commit suicide and abuse drugs,
twenty times more likely
to wind up in prison. "
I know your shift work's hard,
and I know you see
the worst side of people.
But when you clock out,
go home and love your families.
All right, you're dismissed.
Get out of here.
Victoria, the truck with the lumber's
about to show up.
Just tell them to pile it
next to the driveway.
Right. Yeah, hold on.
Hey, that's the sheriff.
I gotta take this.
Okay. Love you. Bye.
Hey, sir.
Yes, sir.
We did that.
Thank you. We'll take care of it.
All right. Love you. Bye.
Oh, no, no, no.
Did you just tell the sheriff
that you loved him?
I can't believe I did that.
Should I call him back?
Why? To tell him that you don't?
Heh, heh, heh.
Six-93-C en route to the 600 block
of Sheffield, 10-99 reference.
Hey, five-0.
Yo, five-0, five-0.
Thomson, Hayes, you got the back?
Ten-four.
It's not them, but they're up to no good.
Yeah.
I got a feeling about this one.
I'm feeling it too.
You got the back door,
rookie?
Yeah, I'll take it.
I'm not a rookie anymore.
Who is it?
Sheriff's office.
Yeah?
We have a warrant for the arrest
I don't want nothing to do with this.
I ain't even supposed to be here.
Ready?
Clear.
They use the same interior decorator
you use, Shane.
Just watch my back, Mitchell.
Clear.
Shane.
Clyde and Jamar Holloman,
we have a warrant for your arrest.
We can do this the easy way or the
hard way. I suggest you come down.
One, two, three.
Stairs.
This is your last chance.
Don't make this any harder
than it needs to be.
What are you doing up here?
Uncle Clyde told me to walk
around here until he gets back.
Come on down.
That's them.
Back door! Back door!
Get in the car.
Thomson, stay with them.
No lights, no lights.
Ah!
Shane. 600 block is uphill north.
North.
Copy that.
- 400 block of Hartford.
- 400 block of Hartford.
David, help me out.
Where's Hartford?
