- I know you can move it, but--|Central Nine Adam 3 7.

Nine Adam 37, go ahead.

Possible 4 1 5 family.|52 42 Radford.

Nine Adam 37, roger.

You're my little sweetie.|Come on.

Just coming up over|the Hollywood Freeway

where it is slow|going this morning.

There's a SIG alert|south of Highland. A tractor

trailer is broken down|in the number-one lane.

If you're travelling north,|consider using side streets.

They're late.

They'll be here.|Just stay cool.

I'm cool.

I'm cool.|It's just so freakin' hot in here.

Try taking three of these.

It'll definitely help|calm you down.

Don't worry about it.

That's about it for out here.|Let me show you the vault.

I have one key,|and Randy has the other, okay?

- It won't open with just mine.|- Okay.

Let me show you something.

A little tool of the trade here.|You know what this is?

- Twenties.|- No. Two bands.

See here? Dye pack.

Dye pack. Gotcha.

We keep one in here,|one in each of the drawers.

You try and leave|the bank with

this, and the|battery...

makes the red dye|explode all over the bills.

It's the bomb.

One time we had this robber, right.|He leaves the bank with this...

drops it on the way|out, picks it up,

shoves it down his|pants and boom.

It goes off. I don't think|he's gonna be having kids any time soon.

Did you, uh, get robbed a lot?

About three or four|times. But not here.

At the other branches|I worked at.

Look. It's all insured, okay?|You never argue.

Look. It's all insured, okay?|You never argue.

-Just give them what they want.|- Okay.

- All right? Let's go get some coffee.|- Okay.

- Yeah. Yeah.|- Okay.

At that point, I kicked the door.

I understand the old guy|had to get seven stitches.

That doesn't concern me.

What does concern me is|that you went charging

in there like some freakin'|John Wayne...

and left your partner alone|in a room with four felons.

I know you've been going through a tough time, son.|Your father was a great--

Lieutenant, I'm fine. That's got|nothing to do with it. I had a bad day.

Nine thousand cops|in the LAPD, Donnie...

and only 60 are good enough|to make it to SWAT.

We can't afford|to have bad days.

Now, you're taking|some time off to mourn, kid.

I need you making decisions,|the right decisions, from here on in.

Next time it might not be some|70-year-old man behind that door.

- I don't need the time off.|- And I'm not asking your opinion.

That's all.

- Here you go, Frank.

- Thank you, Ralph.|- Good as new.

Should last you another 20 years.

Yeah, I'm sure it will.

- But what about me?|-

You're a survivor, Frank.|You know that.

Let's hope so.

- Hey, Donnie.|- Frank.

- How are you?|- Not bad.
