1
[Harmon] Previously,
on On Call
What happened to your sister?
You said she was a cop.
She was injured in
the line of duty.
I just wanted to let you know
that the sheriff was walking
around here the other day.
What's going on
with your brother?
- Gabriel has a hit on his head.
- [Diaz] Over what we did
[Harmon gasps]
for grabbing Maniac.
I need to talk to
your guy, El Toro.
- They want to kill my brother.
- We're not going back to Smokey's.
So, you need to
find another angle.
[sirens]
[shouting]
- Hey!
- Hey! Hey! Calm down!
- [man] I'm gonna fuck your shit up!
- Hey!
- [man] Look what you did!
- Hey! Back it up!
Back it up, okay? Back
it up! What happened?
This little shit's been racing
up and down the street all day
making goddamn TikTok videos.
- I wasn't speeding.
- Oh, back up!
Let him finish.
I told him he was gonna kill
someone and now he hit her!
- Her?!
- I didn't fucking see her!
'Cause you were going
100 miles an hour!
- Hey!
- Whoa, back up! To the curb!
Diaz, cuff him!
- Wait, what? I didn't do anything!
- Turn around!
- You should be cuffing him!
- Turn around!
[Harmon] Step back, step back.
[dog whining]
Call Animal Control, now!
- [dog whimpering]
- [sirens approaching]
Who does she belong to?
[woman] She's a stray. Shows
up around here all the time.
[Harmon whispers] Good girl.
[car approaches]
[police radio chatter]
- [door closes]
- What do we got, Diaz?
These two were
about to go at it.
This one was racing up and
down the street in the Eclipse.
He hit a dog and was just
gonna leave it there.
I called Animal Control, but
they're they're backed up.
Shit was an accident. Can you
get the cuffs off of me, man?
Sit there and shut up.
They're always backed up. It's
only one car for three cities.
Sir, do me a favor, go
back to the sidewalk.
You, do not move.
Want some water?
[whining]
- It's okay. Shh, shh.
- [dog whimpering]
Harmon?
So, we got any witnesses
that saw the kid hit the dog?
- [Diaz] No.
- Nobody other than the big guy.
It's he said, he said.
[dog crying]
Where the fuck is
Animal Control?
Said they're about
two hours out.
Look, we're, um We're gonna
have to handle this ourselves.
[sighs] Fine. Let's just get her in my
cruiser, I'll find an animal hospital.
Harmon. Harmon! Look at her.
She's not gonna make a ride.
So, what do you want to do?
No!
Look, I get it. It's the
humane thing to do though.
Wait, you guys are
saying that we sh
We can dispatch an animal
when they're suffering.
- But she can still make it.
- No, she can't.
Fuck it. Report me. I'm
putting her in my car.
[Lasman] Harmon. Harmon!
- All right, come on. Come on, girl.
- [barks]
[dog whining]
- [dog barking]
- [Lasman] Traci!
You're just hurting her more.
I can't.
You don't have to.
You guys, clear
these people out. Go.
Everybody, get inside
of your homes. Come on.
Ma'am, go back inside your house. Make
sure that the kids don't see this.
Okay.
Sir, could you step back?
[dog continues whining]
Hey, girl. Hey,
puppy. It's okay.
I'm assuming we've got nothing
to arrest shithead for.
No. Nothing that'll stick.
- [dog whining]
- It's okay. It's okay.
I got you.
It's okay, I got you.
[sighs]
[gunshot]
[indistinct radio chatter]
Noise complaint. Looks
like it's in Naples Island.
Low priority.
Yeah?
Probably just some rich
asshole throwing a party.
We don't have enough units
out here already. Hard pass.
[Diaz] Okay.
Hey, look, um I want to apologize
for what I said last shift.
Forget it.
No, no, I was I
was way out of line.
Plus, I never really
believed that stuff.
Man, that bullshit's been
haunting me since it happened.
And you were gonna hear about
it one way or another, so
[phone buzzing]
Your mom?
[sighing] Yeah.
What's going on
with your brother?
It's not your
problem, all right.
What happened?
He was jumped in
the yard yesterday.
Apparently, it was
like three guys.
You know, COs, they
broke it up, but yeah.
Why didn't you tell me?
For what? There's
nothing you can do.
We can get him into
protective custody.
I promised him that
I wouldn't do that.
That's more important to
you than saving his life?
I gave him my word. All
right? I can't break that.
Not after all the shit
he's been through.
I've seen enough death today.
- [tires squealing]
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- Where the hell we going?
- To go see Smokey.
I thought you said
that bridge was burned.
Yeah, well, maybe we can
find a miracle in the ashes.
Charlie-85, show us at 115
Noretta Place for a bar check.
- [dispatcher] Copy, Charlie-85.
- What's the move?
I talk. You keep your eyes open.
No matter what,
you do not pop off.
You got some titanium balls
showing up here, lady.
I need to see Smokey.
Nah.
How's your brother, little homie?
Heard he got all jammed up.
Walking the main line in the
piñta can be dangerous, huh.
[passing truck horn]
Yo, what the fuck?!
Yo, bitch, I told you,
you're not gonna see him!
[whistles] It's
okay. Let her in.
[easy Mexican folk
music playing]
What's with all the muscle?
Take a guess.
You didn't give up Maniac?
Why should the bosses
come down on you?
I got a nephew about your age,
just got on with La Mesa PD.
It's más chingon,
especially these days.
Why my brother? He's got
nothing to do with anything.
Mano, you grew up
around this shit.
You know the rules.
What do we gotta
do to call it off?
The 211 Outlaws
they've been a pain in my
ass over on the South Side.
Maybe some cases fall on 'em?
Come on, Smokey, that
shit ain't happening.
I've always been
above board with you.
I guess your brother's
shit out of luck.
I swear to fucking God,
if you touch my brother!
Cálmate, calma.
Sit down, sit down.
I put Maniac in cuffs. It was my
call. I am the one that you want.
It's more fun making you watch.
Let's go.
Heard guys up in Corcoran
were a little embarrassed
things didn't end differently.
They won't miss twice.
[intense ambient music]
Were you trying to get us killed?
I told you not to pop off!
Yeah, well, fuck him, okay?!
You heard what he said.
Call your brother,
see if he's all right.
- I can't.
- Call him!
I can't! Okay, I can't!
They confiscated his phone when
they fuckin' jumped him, man.
Fuck!
Oh, God, it's just
wait and see now.
[on radio] Any unit to respond
Code Three to a possible overdose
of three people at
5436 Ravenna Drive.
That's where the noise
complaint came from.
[siren blaring]
[music thumping]
[tires squeal]
Got the med kit?
[party noise]
'Bout time. I called hours ago!
They've been blasting
that shit all day!
[woman laughing] Woo!

[girl] Please, help them.
[Harmon] What's your name?

[Harmon] Charlie-85 requesting
additional units for crowd control.
Misty, do me a favor. Get
somebody to kill this music.
Okay. Um
- [Harmon] What'd they take?
- [Misty] Um, coke.
It must have been laced, I
think. It's right over there.
[Harmon] Nobody touch that.

Okay, breathe. Hey, breathe.
Breathe, in, out, in, out. Atta boy.
- That's it.

Two non-responsive. How
far out are paramedics?
[dispatcher on radio]
Paramedics are arriving now.
Oh, my God! That's my sister!
Fuck!
No, no, you've gotta wait between
doses. At least three minutes.
Check her pulse.
[boy] Wake up!
Please, wake up!
- [Diaz] Fuck, no pulse.

[boy] Wake up!
Please, wake up!
[Harmon] Somebody, turn
the fucking music off!

We got a pulse. Get the stretcher in here.
We gotta get her to the ER, right now!
Whose house is this?
You and me. Let's go.
[Diaz] Hey, let them
work, okay? Step back.
[Harmon] Miss, give
us a minute, please.
Where are your parents?
In Palm Springs.
Do they know that
you're having a party?
- No.
- Where'd the drugs come from?
- I don't know.
- [Harmon] You don't know?
I swear, somebody
else brought them.
Call your parents. Now.
Uh, I-I don't have my phone.
- [Harmon] Well, where is it?
- Downstairs.
There's a Louis
Vuitton case on it.
There's a Louis fucking
Vuitton case? Great.
Avery, hey. Go downstairs with
him, make sure he finds his phone
and calls his parents.
Get them down here now.
Come on, follow me.
- Thanks, guys.
- Of course.
Hey. She's your sister?
Yeah. I, I should go with her.
You're supposed to be
looking out for her.
- I fucked up, I don't know
- [Harmon] You fucked up?
She could be dead!
[police radio chatter]
I need her to be okay.
Is she gonna be okay?
Just go be with her. Go. Make sure
you get in the ambulance, okay?
And make sure you call your
parents from the hospital.
Fuck
[indistinct radio chatter]
I don't know what you
guys did before Narcan.
Hope and prayed EMS
showed up before we did.
Hey, I need a favor.
Can you wrap this up?
Sure. You good?
Yeah. Hey, we gotta roll.
[Diaz] Yep.
Where we going?
Welfare check.
[overlapping chatter]
[Diaz] Welfare
check at the beach?
You gonna tell me
what's going on?
I told you my sister was a cop.
She was injured in the
line of duty, right?
[Diaz] Mm-hmm.
Yeah, well, an injury wasn't
what ended her career, per se.
She was prescribed Oxy. And
then, when that wasn't enough,
it was heroin and whatever else
she could get her hands on.
Six months, she went from patrolling
the streets to living on them.
Jen was everything to me.
She surfed, I surfed. She
became a cop, I followed.
And she's out here?
Hey! I'm looking for
Jen. You know her?
Who?
The Sheriff.
[laughs]
Over there. Past the bathroom.
[man laughs]
[dog barks]
- You want me to go with?
- No, I'm gonna be quick.
[woman] they think
that we're blind
but we see exactly
what they're doing
pulling at our brains
I know you feel this.
It's more than like a metaphor.
I want you to trust when it
- [man] Hey, Sheriff.
- [Jen] What?
Don't worry. It's
just my little sister.
I need to talk to you.
It's okay.
[ship horn blows]
[scoffs]
It's time for you
to come home, Jen.
Yeah, mom kicked me out.
Because you stole from her.
She wants you back.
She's worried.
[train whistle
blows in distance]
What about you? Will
you want me back?
Hm.
You know what? I'm fine.
I'm just hanging
here with my friends.
- Your friends?
- [Jen] Yes.
There's Cosmo (raises
voice) and Mandy
- Let's just go.
- and Elroy No, I am staying!
You never once apologized for
all the shit you put us through!
What shit?
I had to buy mom a wedding ring,
to replace the one that you pawned!
- Allegedly, allegedly
- Let's just fucking go!
I said no!
Then I am going to arrest you!
- Okay. Okay.
- All right?
Before we go
I gotta tell you something.
What?
Chicken butt! [laughs]
Oh! You were serious! [laughs]
I'm not gonna be the one who tells
mom you OD'd on some beach, all right?
[laughing] Ow, ow!
If you going to jail means
getting clean, then so be it!
What are you doing?
I, uh I-I saw that there were
people here, so I just thought you
- might need some back-up.
- Search her.
- Are you Are you sure?
- [Harmon] Do it!
[Jen] You can't do this!
I am the fucking
Sheriff out here!
- Hey!
- Turn around, please.
Be careful with that!
Hey.
- Is she clean?
- Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, no drugs
Just, um just this.
Can I say something?
I am the fucking Sheriff!
No.
I'm the Sheriff
There is a better
solution to this.
You don't know the history here.
Look, I get it, all right. There's
There's a lot about today we can't change.
But this this is a choice.
So, you're going to criticize
my decision making now?
No, I'm just telling you
that this is not the answer.
Okay, yeah. So, you
know what's best.
I know what jail does
to families, okay?
I don't know. Everywhere that
we take her to get clean,
she escapes. She's
like a fuckin' Houdini.
I I know somewhere where
she won't be able to get away.
All right. It's
safe and not far.
Just trust me.
[indistinct chatter
with Diaz and women]
Hey, yeah, it's
cool. She can stay.
What is this place?
It's a safe house.
Yeah, me and my brother
used to take my mom here
after her boyfriend
knocked her around.
They, they help
women get clean, too.
Nobody goes in or out
until they're supposed to.
All right.
Come on. Got you a place.
Wait.
[keys rattling]
You just gonna leave me here?
I'll check in on you.
You promise?
[handcuffs clinking]
Come on.
[woman] Come on
inside. You'll be okay.
Can I, um Can
I have a minute?
Yeah, of course.
Look I know what
this means to you.
So, I'm gonna hold onto
it until you get out.
[crying, sniffles]
You do that.
[sniffles]
[crying]
Hey, I had an idea
about your brother.
We move him.
No, I don't mean into protective
custody, I mean, to a different facility.
You You can do that?
Yeah, I could try
cashing in a favor.
Where to?
Somewhere East Barrio
doesn't have reach.
Come on. Coffee's on me.
Next, on On Call
- I went to see Smokey.
- And?
And the bosses are pissed at
him for not protecting Maniac.
- [woman groans]
- You need to talk to us.
That's what started this shit!
Then help me end it!
I got a better angle.
Stage Two tactical alert. We go
full court press on East Barrio.
We serve warrants on every documented
member in the neighborhood.
They want to fight each other,
let 'em do it in our lockup.
[closing theme music playing]
