New mugshot.

And when we do, it's a no-knock deal.
It's all about the first three seconds of engagement.
We lose the element of surprise; whole new rulebook.
Wordsworth: Who's their inside man? Naismith's isn't saying, but they've had a narcotics cop deep undercover for 8 months.
And today is christmas.
And it's a record-breaking score.
A brief little window of opportunity before it disappears onto the street.
Eight months of prep.
And they get to watch us fly in for the grand finale.
You ain't got the guts that's why we get the cool pants.
That's what I'm saying.
Practice area reset.
We're a go for round five.
All right, guys, one more time.
Practice makes perfect.
- Ready, sam? - I've cleared bad guys before.
It's serving a warrant for the search of the gentlemen's premises for the highly corroborated presence of narcotics.
Speed, surprise, and aggressive action.
Hey, so what about tonight? Not gonna happen.
It's gonna be a long day, you're gonna get hungry.
- Dinner's a very important meal.
- Sam.
A burrito and couple of beers, what's the big deal? All right, I'm not trying to flatter myself, I know you're just being nice, I don't want to read into this.
I've just worked way too hard to be here, to screw it up by getting personal.
It's not worth it.
There's like 500 cops waiting to get into the sru.

So, I'm sorry, but the team comes first.
Jules, it was just a burrito.
See you at practice.
Jackson.

Hey, ella.
Hey, how are you? Sweetie, just go inside for one sec, okay? Corrie you're gonna show up here with a toy and everything's gonna be okay? - She's my niece.

Then when, all right? It's eight months, four days and I am clean.
I got a job, I'm doing the steps and I miss my family.
I'm sorry, the money you stole - I'll pay it back.
- $680 dollars? I'll pay it back.
That money was ella's for music lessons I promised her, because $680 dollars takes a long time to save.
- I'm sorry.
- Yeah, you were sorry before.
Look, I promise it's always promises with you.
If you want me to trust you, you gotta show it.
Okay.
I'll get you the money.
Okay, you get the money and then we'll talk.

We're out of glass.
Thank you, corporal, that was very convincing.
Good work, sam, you'll stand our lead entry.
I'm sure our special ops guest will agree that we covered every eventuality, backwards and forwards and in high heels.
Yeah, well, if your subject can fight these guys off, tell him we could use him in kandahar.
Good.
All right, let's recap in the briefing room while we wait for the warrant.
Good job.
I was wondering if you could lend me, I don't know, maybe, like, uh like $700 dollars or $600 dollars? hey, uh, yeah, it's jackson.
I was just thinking maybe I could work for a week or a couple of weeks, if that's okay.
no.
Yeah.
Okay.
Um, okay.
Well, thank you.
Thank you very much.
uh, like uh $600, $700 dollars.
All right, no problem.
Thank you, though.
I could give you, like, forty dollars.
That's all I got right now, but you can totally have it.
You know what, it's uh it's okay, don't worry about it.
It's not a problem.
Are you still gonna stop by? Jackson? So, you're gonna join us or what? My work here is done.
"Deeds not words," my friend.
- Isn't that right, braddock? - That's right.
What do you mean, "deeds not words"? Sarmypecial ops motto.
Used to be his motto.
Right, right.
So how you been? Sun always shines on kandahar.
Sally, is that warrant in? Still waiting.
Yeah.
Jackson.
Where you been, little man? No phone call, no postcard.
All this time and that's the first thing you ask, you ask me for money? No, you know what? No problem.
Why don't you come over and we can talk about it.
Okay, I'm on my way.
What's the deal on the guy you're taking down? Name's sean keenan, got a boatload of priors, squeaked his way out of a couple homicide charges.
He's looking at his third strike today.
Oh, so he's got nothing to lose.
Aw, man, it's the worst kind.
But still, days like today - yeah, they make you feel alive.
I know.
- That's right.
- Look, you know sam braddock was in our unit, right? - Yeah.
What, something I should know? It's not my place to say.

I'm saying that watch your team's back.
- Good luck today.
- Yeah.
Warrants in.
Team one, you're up.

Just waiting on word from geddes.
Seconds away.
Here's the elevator service key.
Geddes' your undercover? - Harlan geddes? - Yeah, you know him? Yeah, we partnered at 21 together.
Had a barbecue a couple of weeks ago.
What's his in? He's worked his way up through the ranks over the past eight months from, uh, low-life to mid-level runner.
Trust factor's pretty high, so ass-hat's givin' geddes a slice to sell to the neighborhood kids.
Anything else we need to know? Yeah, you know about the double homicide, right? Yeah-yeah, how'd he beat the rap? Joys of the justice system.
Look, if this guy feels cornered, he's gonna bite, okay? Speed and surprise, we get it.
Yeah, you do this right, geddes gets a shower and shave.
Takes miriam out someplace nice for a change.

Am I speaking with sean keenan? Yes you are.
How can I help you, greg? You want to tell me what's going on here today? Why, greg? What's on your mind, hmm? Option a: We let the boss talk him out.
Option b: We try to isolate keenan, maybe we got a shot at a clean rescue.
What about immediate entry? Wordy, hold off.
Well, sean, a firearm was discharged in your vicinity - in your area, in your neighbourhood - and we were just wondering if everyone in there was all right.
We're great.
Thank you very much for asking.
And how 'bout you, greg? How you doin'? hurry up! You know what, sean, let's cut the pleasantries and get to the point, okay? We both know why my team and i are here, right? Yeah? Well, why don't you tell me all about it.
Thanks, sally.
- Weapon keenan's carrying is called a "jury".
- A jury? It's a street name.
It's new.
It takes five rounds - shotgun and single bore.
- Explains the size of the wound.
- Yeah.
- Hey, man, hang on - Easy, easy, easy.
You're gonna be okay, all right.
- You gotta- you should get out.
- You know how I remember you? At the green grouse, it was you who arrested me.

- No-no-no, man, don't be sorry.
Turned my life around.
Kid go on, get out.
We got a guy dying in there.
He's in the line of fire.
And we also have an unknown who's in the line of fire.
What are we saving cops or we saving drug dealers? Don't let it get personal, wordy.
I'm just saying.
He had the gun pointed at the kid.
- Lover's quarrel.
- Body language.
Haircut, nice clothes, it just doesn't add up.
We do an explosive entry, flashbangs Keenan still has time to fire his weapon.
He's right.
We got more than one life here.
I'm not putting this kid at risk.
I don't give a flying king-sized crap what you do for a living.
I've got a friend in there and I want to get him out alive.
You're a smart guy, I expect you're fully familiar with how to use a toilet.
Hey, you've done this before.
I got nothing but the best and brightest for you, sean.
Very important to us, so if we can both handle this professionally, the boys and I won't have to come in there and trouble you at all.
So you do what you gotta do.
go on, get out.
No, man, we're both gettin' outta here.
Can't do it.
'Cause there's only a couple of ways this can go, right? We're not looking for more people to get hurt.
This guy's on his third strike.
It's gonna be all about the blaze of glory.
How's geddes doing? He's hanging in there.
- I don't know how much longer.
- Options.
We're not coming up with any other choices, boss.
We go through the window? And he'll use you as target practice.
No.
All right.
Thanks, sal.
Okay.
Our unknown is jackson barcliffe, He was arrested 8 months ago for possession.
His parole officer says that he's been on the wagon ever since.
On the wagon until today, I guess.
Sean, we can resolve this, peacefully, right now, if you make the right choice.
Place your weapon on the floor and you come out your door okay, greg, I hear ya.
I just need to think over my options over here.
well, you do.
You think about those options, but you think about them very carefully because you're already apprehended, right? That's a given.
- What about the kid? - Come on, he's made his choice.
- How's he doing? - He's still breathing.
If you want to make things better for your future, you should think about showing us that you can make the right choice.
Running out of time, ed.
yeah? It's the kid in the room.
Jackson.
My name's ed, I'm a police officer with the sru.
I want to help.

Okay, is he breathing? Yeah-yeah-yeah, he's breathing.
Okay, his name's harlan.
Now I need you to do me a favour, jackson.

No, no, he's conscious, he's fine.
Okay, that's good.
That's good.
Look, um, I can't talk long, if sean comes in if he comes back, jackson, just put the phone down.
Okay, just put the phone down, but leave it on, all right? That way we can hear you.

But I need to know that my team is on my side.

Jules, you're my secondary.
Sean, you don't want to do this, man.
Okay? I invest in you.
Look, let's think it through, okay? And you spit on all that to make yourself a deal? It couldn't be jacks, okay? Just leave the kid alone.

One more word.

Hey, ed? - Got you a new mugshot.
- Thank you, sally.
- Warrant? - Not yet.
New mugshot.
We're sure he's gonna be alone, right? We don't proceed unless he is.
And when we do, it's a no-knock deal.
It's all about the first three seconds of engagement.
We lose the element of surprise; whole new rulebook.
Wordsworth: Who's their inside man? Naismith's isn't saying, but they've had a narcotics cop deep undercover for 8 months.
And today is christmas.
And it's a record-breaking score.
A brief little window of opportunity before it disappears onto the street.
Eight months of prep.
And they get to watch us fly in for the grand finale.
You ain't got the guts that's why we get the cool pants.
That's what I'm saying.
Practice area reset.
We're a go for round five.
All right, guys, one more time.
Practice makes perfect.
- Ready, sam? - I've cleared bad guys before.
It's serving a warrant for the search of the gentlemen's premises for the highly corroborated presence of narcotics.
Speed, surprise, and aggressive action.
Hey, so what about tonight? Not gonna happen.
It's gonna be a long day, you're gonna get hungry.
- Dinner's a very important meal.
- Sam.
A burrito and couple of beers, what's the big deal? All right, I'm not trying to flatter myself, I know you're just being nice, I don't want to read into this.
I've just worked way too hard to be here, to screw it up by getting personal.
It's not worth it.
There's like 500 cops waiting to get into the sru.
do something that I shouldn'T.
So, I'm sorry, but the team comes first.
Jules, it was just a burrito.
See you at practice.
Jackson.
- You can't just- - I know.
I, uh should have called, I'm sorry.
Hey, ella.
Hey, how are you? Sweetie, just go inside for one sec, okay? Corrie you're gonna show up here with a toy and everything's gonna be okay? - She's my niece.
- Not today.
Then when, all right? It's eight months, four days and I am clean.
I got a job, I'm doing the steps and I miss my family.
I'm sorry, the money you stole - I'll pay it back.
- $680 dollars? I'll pay it back.
That money was ella's for music lessons I promised her, because $680 dollars takes a long time to save.
- I'm sorry.
- Yeah, you were sorry before.
Look, I promise it's always promises with you.
If you want me to trust you, you gotta show it.
Okay.
I'll get you the money.
Okay, you get the money and then we'll talk.

Nice work, guys.
Say it.
- Again! - Again! Let's reload the window.
We're out of glass.
Thank you, corporal, that was very convincing.
Good work, sam, you'll stand our lead entry.
I'm sure our special ops guest will agree that we covered every eventuality, backwards and forwards and in high heels.
Yeah, well, if your subject can fight these guys off, tell him we could use him in kandahar.
Good.
All right, let's recap in the briefing room while we wait for the warrant.
Good job.
I was wondering if you could lend me, I don't know, maybe, like, uh like $700 dollars or $600 dollars? hey, uh, yeah, it's jackson.
I was just thinking maybe I could work for a week or a couple of weeks, if that's okay.
no.
Yeah.
Okay.
Um, okay.
Well, thank you.
Thank you very much.
uh, like uh $600, $700 dollars.
All right, no problem.
Thank you, though.
I could give you, like, forty dollars.
That's all I got right now, but you can totally have it.
You know what, it's uh it's okay, don't worry about it.
It's not a problem.
Are you still gonna stop by? Jackson? So, you're gonna join us or what? My work here is done.
"Deeds not words," my friend.
- Isn't that right, braddock? - That's right.
What do you mean, "deeds not words"? Sarmypecial ops motto.
Used to be his motto.
Right, right.
So how you been? Sun always shines on kandahar.
Sally, is that warrant in? Still waiting.
Yeah.
Jackson.
Where you been, little man? No phone call, no postcard.
All this time and that's the first thing you ask, you ask me for money? No, you know what? No problem.
Why don't you come over and we can talk about it.
Okay, I'm on my way.
What's the deal on the guy you're taking down? Name's sean keenan, got a boatload of priors, squeaked his way out of a couple homicide charges.
He's looking at his third strike today.
Oh, so he's got nothing to lose.
Aw, man, it's the worst kind.
But still, days like today - yeah, they make you feel alive.
I know.
- That's right.
- Look, you know sam braddock was in our unit, right? - Yeah.
What, something I should know? It's not my place to say.
I don't do innuendo.
You got something to say about a member of my team, say it.
I'm saying that watch your team's back.
- Good luck today.
- Yeah.
Warrants in.
Team one, you're up.
You're up.
greetings.
Nothing if not punctual, huh? What, only two sentries? That's interesting, a day like today.
You want a no-tip-off guarantee? How 'bout we round up the whole neighborhood.
How's it look? It's good.
Just waiting on word from geddes.
Seconds away.
Here's the elevator service key.
Geddes' your undercover? - Harlan geddes? - Yeah, you know him? Yeah, we partnered at 21 together.
Had a barbecue a couple of weeks ago.
What's his in? He's worked his way up through the ranks over the past eight months from, uh, low-life to mid-level runner.
Trust factor's pretty high, so ass-hat's givin' geddes a slice to sell to the neighborhood kids.
Anything else we need to know? Yeah, you know about the double homicide, right? Yeah-yeah, how'd he beat the rap? Joys of the justice system.
Look, if this guy feels cornered, he's gonna bite, okay? Speed and surprise, we get it.
Yeah, you do this right, geddes gets a shower and shave.
Takes miriam out someplace nice for a change.
I thought "junkie chic" got you into all the good restaurants? Good to go? - Absolutely.
- Okay.
Did he say "ass-hat"? He said "ass-hat".
Hey, nice shoes.

He's one of the guys that arrested me.

Am I speaking with sean keenan? Yes you are.
How can I help you, greg? You want to tell me what's going on here today? Why, greg? What's on your mind, hmm? Option a: We let the boss talk him out.
Option b: We try to isolate keenan, maybe we got a shot at a clean rescue.
What about immediate entry? Wordy, hold off.
Well, sean, a firearm was discharged in your vicinity - in your area, in your neighbourhood - and we were just wondering if everyone in there was all right.
We're great.
Thank you very much for asking.
And how 'bout you, greg? How you doin'? hurry up! You know what, sean, let's cut the pleasantries and get to the point, okay? We both know why my team and i are here, right? Yeah? Well, why don't you tell me all about it.
Thanks, sally.
- Weapon keenan's carrying is called a "jury".
- A jury? It's a street name.
It's new.
It takes five rounds - shotgun and single bore.
- Explains the size of the wound.
- Yeah.
- Hey, man, hang on - Easy, easy, easy.
You're gonna be okay, all right.
- You gotta- you should get out.

- No-no-no, man, don't be sorry.
Turned my life around.
Kid go on, get out.
We got a guy dying in there.
He's in the line of fire.
And we also have an unknown who's in the line of fire.
What are we saving cops or we saving drug dealers? Don't let it get personal, wordy.
I'm just saying.
He had the gun pointed at the kid.
- Lover's quarrel.
- Body language.
Haircut, nice clothes, it just doesn't add up.
We do an explosive entry, flashbangs Keenan still has time to fire his weapon.
He's right.
We got more than one life here.
I'm not putting this kid at risk.
I don't give a flying king-sized crap what you do for a living.
I've got a friend in there and I want to get him out alive.
You're a smart guy, I expect you're fully familiar with how to use a toilet.
Hey, you've done this before.
I got nothing but the best and brightest for you, sean.
Very important to us, so if we can both handle this professionally, the boys and I won't have to come in there and trouble you at all.
So you do what you gotta do.
go on, get out.
No, man, we're both gettin' outta here.
Can't do it.
'Cause there's only a couple of ways this can go, right? We're not looking for more people to get hurt.
This guy's on his third strike.
It's gonna be all about the blaze of glory.
How's geddes doing? He's hanging in there.
- I don't know how much longer.
- Options.
We're not coming up with any other choices, boss.
We go through the window? And he'll use you as target practice.
No.
All right.
Thanks, sal.
Okay.
Our unknown is jackson barcliffe, He was arrested 8 months ago for possession.
His parole officer says that he's been on the wagon ever since.
On the wagon until today, I guess.
Sean, we can resolve this, peacefully, right now, if you make the right choice.
Place your weapon on the floor and you come out your door okay, greg, I hear ya.
I just need to think over my options over here.
well, you do.
You think about those options, but you think about them very carefully because you're already apprehended, right? That's a given.
- What about the kid? - Come on, he's made his choice.
- How's he doing? - He's still breathing.
If you want to make things better for your future, you should think about showing us that you can make the right choice.
Running out of time, ed.
yeah? It's the kid in the room.
Jackson.
My name's ed, I'm a police officer with the sru.
I want to help.

Look, um, I can't talk long, if sean comes in if he comes back, jackson, just put the phone down.
Okay, just put the phone down, but leave it on, all right? That way we can hear you.

I'm clean now.
Jackson, that's amazing.

Okay, we gotta get in there.
We gotta get in there and do our job.
