Operator Page #3

- Okay. Okay.

Just don't hurt her.

I'll see what I can do.

Okay, guys... guys! So you had to check

out an accident and then it happened.

Yeah, man, like I just told you.

Home-boy here plowed straight into me.

Wait a second.

That doesn't add up at all.

- No sh*t!

- Radio for 2670.

- Go for 670.

- I've got a lead on that suspect.

Somebody spotted him

at 1731 Weathervane Drive

requesting a code 12.

Are you able to pursue?

Confirm that. That cruiser

was damaged in the crash.

We're gonna be cruising in

Cruiser 644 from this point.

Hold on! Wait! Are you out of your mind?

- You can't leave the scene of an accident.

- Unless we're pursuing a suspect.

For?

- Attempted homicide with a vehicle.

- You don't know what the hell he looks like.

That's what we're going to find out.

Are you coming?

Well done, Pam.

That police officer, do you know him?

- Why would I know him?

- You called him by his name.

Jeremy I think it was.

I heard it over the radio.

Are you attracted to him, Pam?

I know the names

of a lot of police officers.

I talk to them all the time.

Doesn't mean that I know them

or that I am attracted to them.

And if he has another mishap, and can

no longer walk away from the scene.

Or if he is killed

in the line of duty...

tell me, Pam...

would you shed a tear

for officer Jeremy?

No.

- What day of the week is it?

- Friday.

So where the hell is everybody?

- Long weekend, maybe.

- Nah, I don't think so. Something's up.

Let me have a look around.

Make sure no one leaves here.

Copy that.

Anyone here? Police officer!

670 for Radio.

- Go, 670.

- We got a code 23.

Nobody here, it's empty.

Hey, Howard, you got anything?

No, I got nothing.

You got to be kidding me.

Williams!

2670, please, come in.

I don't think he copied.

- You son of a b*tch!

- Watch him.

- Then leave me alone, you sick...

- We got a 10-33!

10-33, officer down!

We need backup now.

Ten-four, 670.

All units, all units! We have a 10-33.

It's 1731 Weathervane Drive.

Officer down.

Easy, partner.

- Did you see anything?

- No, nothing.

What about Williams, where is he?

Jeremy, Howard, do you copy?

670 for Radio, we're okay.

We might have a possible 10-54 here.

- We need backup right now.

- Ten-four. They're on the way.

You even know the name of his partner.

You do care about this one.

They'll find you. Do you know

what they do to cop-killers in prison?

For me to go to prison

I would have to get caught first.

But I have no intention

of getting caught.

You underestimate him.

He will find you.

He?

Who's he? Pam, tell me...

is the hero going to barge in,

in his police blues

and throw handcuffs on the bad guy?

Is that how it's going to play out?

How many times have you received an

emergency call from a bad neighborhood

only to discover that the police

wouldn't go there

simply because they're not

guaranteed their safety?

Or have your ever been walking home,

heard a scream of someone calling for help.

What do you do?

Do you rush to their assistance?

Or do you put your head down

and just keep walking?

We're all bad guys, Pam.

We're all complicit in crimes.

We turn a blind eye to death everyday.

No one weeps for the victims.

We only care when it happens

to someone important to us.

- You're insane.

- Am I?

Or am I the only one with clear head?

The only difference between you and I

is that I have the conviction

to go after what I want.

And on that note,

I have another crime to report.

No.

No, I'm done helping you.

- Are you there? Did you hear me?

- Watch your screen.

No. No, please.

- Please stop.

- Mommy! Help!

Remember, a 911 call operator

must remain calm at all times.

Please. Stop, I'll do whatever you want.

I understand your hesitations, Pam.

But don't for a second think

that I am not prepared

to do what is necessary.

Don't defy me again!

What do you want me to do?

Send officer Jeremy and his partner

to 12 Westmont Circle.

Breaking and entering.

The only cop I knew who used

to take his kids to school every day.

He used to play

with Cassie all the time.

We all end up the same way

sooner or later.

He played us, you know that?

Waiting for us to get to the scene.

Why do you say that?

Read this.

Jesus Christ, why didn't you

tell me about your daughter?

Don't you think we should call this in?

He's got dispatcher, hears everything.

Every damn thing we say.

No.

Go, 670.

I've got a report of a signal 42

at 12 Westmont Circle.

- Are you available to check it out?

- Looks like it's just you and me, Howie.

This a**hole can't know we're on to him.

- Okay?

- Right.

Ten-four. We're on our way.

- What?

- Incoming.

Aren't you gonna answer that?

You better do something.

She's making a scene.

- How many calls did you put on hold?

- Grace.

What are you waiting for?

Answer the damn thing.

I'm... No!

Hello, are you really there?

You just hung up on them.

- You b*tch.

- What the hell is going on here?

- She's ignoring callers.

- That's not true.

- Grace, I don't...

- Tony. Tony.

What are you, nine years-old?

Enough drama.

- She's ignoring callers.

- If she were, I would know about it.

Alright, everyone, thank you very much.

Back to work, please.

Take a 15.

- Hello. 911. What's your emergency?

- You broke rule number one!

- My co-worker pressed the button.

- Don't let it happen again.

This is 670. ETA to the location

is approximately three minutes.

Ten-four, 670.

Are you sure there isn't something

going on between the two of you?

His last name wouldn't happen

to be Miller, now would it?

If you already know it is,

then why are you asking me?

No questions. You've been lying to me.

I didn't lie. We're separated.

Is he handsome?

He has brown hair, blue eyes.

He's a good...

- He's a thoughtful man.

- And yet you're not with him!

Is he a crooked cop?

No, he's a good person.

Then why, Pam?

Why aren't you with him?

Alright, that's enough for now.

Compose yourself.

You don't need anyone asking questions.

We're almost there.

Something on your mind?

Yeah, sure.

He's got my wife and daughter.

Can't do anything about it.

Untraceable numbers.

The guy's just covering his tracks.

The thing is when I was working as state

detective before we rode together,

we had this case,

untraceable numbers, dozens of them.

You can't break them.

Even got the FBI involved.

So, some idiot is pulling prank phone calls

and you couldn't find him. Big deal.

Howard, think about it.

To go to this much trouble

is gonna be a bigger pitcher, right?

Like hacking into security cameras

of a state operating building, right?

Exactly.

What happened with you and Pam?

That night, with the fire,

with Cassie nearly got killed...

hit me hard, you know.

I went off the deep end,

I got suspended, I got demoted.

- This is how you ended a bag in uniform.

- Sure.

Pam left you because

she blames you for the fire?

She blames me because

I wasn't there that night.
