Okay?

Thirty minutes for lunch. Cool?

-Is that good?

-Cool with me.

Dude, watch it.

-Watch what?

-The chair.

You watch yourself.

-Hey, there. How's it going?

-Hey.

You were the arresting officer

on that suicide three nights ago?

Yeah.

Brought you your incident report.

Doesn't the watch commander

usually bring the arrest reports?

Yeah, I just...

I wanted to make sure you're adjusting okay.

And you might not be smiling

after you read that.

-He in there?

-Excuse me.

Why was this lunatic allowed bail?

He was deemed not to be a flight risk

and paid the cou?.

Somebody died.

She killed herself.

His bail was set at a million.

He paid it!

Why are we even talking about this?

He was waving a gun at police officers.

They should revoke his bail.

We got killers, we got drug dealers

overwhelming our system.

This is one step removed

from a domestic dispute.

He had a gun in her office.

lt was her gun registered to her.

He claims he took it away from her

to protect her and himself.

We played the 9-1-1 tape. He's not lying.

Co-worker called it in.

Said she was brandishing the gun

and he was the hostage.

-You did the evaluation on Hatch?

-Yes.

I requested a 72-hour mandatory hold.

He was a stalker with a restraining order,

and the woman died.

I agree. I requested a 5150 on Hatch.

Court didn't agree with me.

See this?

This is the pile of

the-court-didn't-agree-with-mes.

-Welcome to Detroit, Paul Visitor.

-I think he's mentally unstable.

So was she.

Rose Walker was under

comprehensive psychiatric care.

She's suicidal.

Yeah, it's probably related to him.

Hatch has no record at all. He's clean.

It's unbelievable.

Someone else is going to get hurt.

Let me know

if there's anything else I can do for you.

You can let me...

You can let me buy you dinner.

I've got... I've got way too much work to do.

Sounds familiar.

But you do have to eat, though, don't you?

A lot of the times I don't.

How about tonight

you make an exception for the new guy?

If I say yes, would you please shut up?

-Yeah.

-Okay. Yes.

Yeah.

So why Detroit?

lt was the best offer at the time

for a rookie police psychologist.

-Why LA?

-Born there.

Why a cop?

Action, adventure, romance.

Okay.

You know, people who feel

the need to rescue other people

are often running away

from their own problems.

You help people.

What are you running away from?

A relationship.

Excuse me. May l?

-Thank you.

-With who?

Well, right now, with you.

Who's looking for a relationship?

Is this how you normally

talk your barricaded suspects out?

You just wear them down?

I'm not looking to win any negotiations here.

Good.

Because if you are looking

to get any action tonight,

it's not going to happen.

-This is insane. I never do things like this.

-Yeah, me neither.

I mean, I've only known you, like, four hours.

Tomorrow. 1200. Grand Circus Park.

You are gonna make somebody a great wife.

Okay, I think my manhood's

just been questioned.

Nobody is questioning that. Trust me.

You see that?

You're famous.

You want to talk about it?

No.

You busy tonight?

Yeah, I've gotta work tonight.

What about tomorrow night?

Meetings.

You work too much. You know that?

I know.

Sir, do you know how hard it is to catch

a direct flight from Rio to Detroit?

No, and I really don't care. Let's take a walk.

I don't like rush jobs, Hatch.

-Haven't told you what the job is yet.

-So tell me.

-Remember Belgrade?

-Yeah.

It's like that. Only bigger.

So, this is approved?

Was Belgrade approved?

Who's the target?

It's a need-to-know basis.

Pay is the same as usual.

Need you to get me everything on this list.

Roger that.

You guys have any idea

how much lead, asbestos, carcinogens

and toxic mold is in this tower?

-You're like a broken record, bro.

-Whatever, man.

No, seriously, you can catch cancer

hanging around here.

Yes, you can.

Wear your gas mask. You'll be fine.

That's why I have it.

All right, time for our first walkthrough.

I want you guys to memorize

every inch of this tower.

Burn it into your brain.

I want you all to pass this certification.

We got six days to go.

Hey, is this gonna be a problem, sir?

-No. No problem at all.

-Perfect.

How's that patch coming?

It ain't coming at all.

-Look alive. Man-down drill.

-Slow and steady.

-Keep your eyes open, guys.

-Look alive. Look alive.

Speed it up just a tad, guys.

Contact door.

Contact window. Left. Quick.

Contact door. Left.

Contact door.

Contact left window.

-Contact left door.

-Contact window.

-Left window.

-Contact window.

Move, move.

Contact left window.

Day eight. Here's the scenario.

Barricaded suspects in the car,

possible hostages.

We split.

Get on the ground.

Hands up! Get out ofthe car.

-Hands up.

-Secure him.

Move it around. Move it around.

Secure him.

Good.

Welcome to day nine.

Structured clearance

and close quarter combat.

Everything counts double here.

-Contact door.

-Contact window.

Down, down, down, down.

Police.

-Man.

-Sh*t.

Time. And by "time", I mean you guys

took too much of it. Drill complete.

What are you talking about?

Listen, when you're clearing a structure,

it's like a dance.

You need to be in sync, okay?

Thinking and moving as one.

-Quickly.

-Man, I got shot, like, 50 times.

Yeah, well, you need to learn to shoot

straighter or duck faster.

Did any of you guys get a little tingle

in your throat? Don't laugh at me.

You're not dying, Stockton. You're not dying.

You don't think?

-No, relax.

-Maybe.

You would be dying from that girl

I saw the other night, if anything.

-Exactly.

-Your mom.

Got your message, a**hole.

The wallet on the table.

You can have the jewelry.

Sorry. Mistake. l...

Police.

-Yeah.

-It's okay.

Yeah?

First you lose a hostage.

Now you break into the wrong house.

I don't know if your reputation

is gonna survive.

-Yeah, well, I'm a survivor.

-So am l.

And I'll be going to your funeral.

We triangulated the call to a cell phone tower

about a block away. He was close.

You get a number?

Pre-paid cell phone.

Could have bought it anywhere. Untraceable.

Google Earth?

The last satellite image taken of this area

was 10 hours ago.

Sir.

C-4 and Semtex.

This is military grade.

This bomb would've taken out half the block.

Thank you.

-What's this?

-Plane ticket.

I want you out of Detroit. Tonight.

You're a target.

Leaving won't stop him,

and I have a team to certify.

I'm not going anywhere.

Yeah, we're good. We're good.

-Hey. What's up?

-We need to talk.

-About what?

-Walter Hatch.

Wait, he planted a bomb?

Yeah, but he called me first. Warning me.

I don't know if he's homicidal. l...

Okay, the fact that he called you first,

put you on guard,

it's almost like he wanted you

to look for the bomb.

What am I dealing with here?

Well, he's a high-functioning bipolar

borderline personalify.

You know, I think that you have

become the object of his fixation.

He was obsessed with Rose Walker.
