Officers Harmon and Diaz are thrown into a violent street takeover and a gruesome homicide investigation, uncovering a mysterious connection to “the Sherriff” and the East Barrio gang following Delgado’s murder. Amidst the chaos, their partnership is tested as Diaz chafes under Harmon’s strict safety lessons, while internal affairs begin scrutinizing Harmon’s actions, putting Diaz in a difficult position.
Episode 3: “South of Heaven”
Officers Harmon, Diaz, Holt, and Barlowe pursue a hatchet-wielding robber, during which Diaz heroically saves a bystander but loses his weapon, later recovered by Holt who warns him against Harmon’s past. Harmon, meanwhile, privately investigates leads suggesting “Maniac” is still in Long Beach, while a crisis unfolds as Holt accidentally overdoses at a homeless encampment, forcing Diaz to administer Narcan.
Episode 4: “Unsung”
Following medical leave for Holt, Officer Harmon opens to Diaz about her sister’s past as a cop. After Delgado’s funeral, Harmon and Diaz covertly track “Maniac” to a motel, leading to a tactical raid and Harmon’s solo pursuit and capture of the suspect at an abandoned Walmart. Bishop questions Harmon’s uncanny success, prompting Harmon to confide in her, unaware of potential professional repercussions.
Episode 5: “Not Your Savior”
While on patrol, Diaz learns his brother has a hit on him from East Barrio due to Maniac’s arrest, sparking tension with Harmon who dismisses his attempts to intervene. Their strained partnership faces a terrifying test when they witness a man self-immolate at a gas station, nearly killing his son. Later, Harmon reveals the truth behind her controversial past, explaining why many officers, including Lasman, resent her.
Episode 6: “L.A. Woman”
Responding to a reckless driving dispute, Harmon and Diaz find an injured dog that Lasman euthanizes. After Diaz’s brother is attacked, Harmon seeks help from Smokey, learning a rival gang’s arrest could lift the hit.

Episode 7: “War Machine”
After Harmon shows Delgado’s parents her plaque, Diaz’s mother confronts him at the station, leading to Harmon intervening and earning the mother’s gratitude. Harmon and Diaz are then dispatched to a robbery at Smokey’s dispensary, followed by a second robbery at a nearby residence where Smokey’s daughter, Leona, is found injured. As Lasman initiates a tactical alert against East Barrio, Diaz gets Leona to identify an attacker. Harmon and Diaz then find Smokey and another occupant shot, leading to a heated argument between Harmon and Lasman over the alert’s effectiveness, before Koyama propositions Harmon with a plan to arrest Smokey.
Episode 8: “How the West Was Won”
As Diaz’s 60-day review approaches and Harmon’s transfer seemingly advances, a drug bust goes awry at a truck stop: Leona, not Smokey, takes the drugs, leading to a shootout. Diaz is shot by Leona, who is then killed by Koyama, while Harmon apprehends Smokey. Later, Diaz recovers, but Harmon’s transfer is denied. She confronts Lasman, then Bishop, who admits to blocking the transfer due to Harmon’s methods in finding Maniac. Bishop reluctantly allows Harmon to continue training Diaz, who then symbolically returns his “Get Out of Jail Free” card to her before they resume patrol.
