Ready? Ready? [glass smashes] (man)
Go back inside!
Dallas Police! Lay down!
Get on your face. [explosion] (man)
If I don't pass the PT test, I'm gone. [grunts] Back off, guys. <i>That goes look like body armor.</i> Hang on. <i>[men yelling]</i> Let me see your hands! [rock music] (man)
Barricaded suspect, armed and dangerous. (man)
Suspect is inside. (man)
We're going to hit
the ground running. (man)
♪ Adrenaline's running higher. ♪ ♪ Strap the metal to my back. ♪ (man)
30 seconds to the target house. Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! ♪ ♪ Police!
Police! I'm on my way
heading into a warrant. It's a narcotics sale
of marijuana, and I think they also said
they do cocaine. But you never know, you know? You never know,
once you get into a house, until you get there and find out
everything that they got. [rifle action clicks] We're ready to rock and roll. All righty. Every one is dangerous, whether it be high quantities
or small quantities. The name of the game is, just make sure
you know what you're doing. Supposedly the suspects
are some Latin males. Basically, tonight Andre and I
will be doing a break-and-rake on this apartment complex. This is one of
the break-and-rake tools that I'll be using. Our responsibility
is to give the entry team some cover from the outside. Real simple. Push this bad boy
through the window, clear out the glass,
and pull it back out. This thing works great.
It's a real good tool. We don't know how dangerous
these guys are. You know, they don't want
the police to stop them. Guys, we're ready
to move. <i>(Taylor)
Go ahead.</i> <i>Time to go to work.</i> <i>(man)
Careful, brothers.</i> <i>(man)
All right, guys, here we go.</i> <i>(Rossi)
Okay, the guys are going in.</i> <i>(man)
30 seconds out.</i> <i>(Rossi)
30 seconds.</i> Heads up, guys.
We got a runner. [metallic clang] Get on your face. [explosion] (man)
Ready? Ready? [glass smashes] [men yelling] (man)
Down on the ground! <i>Policia!
No se vuela!</i> [glass and metal clanking] [men yelling] [distant explosion] (man)
They're in! They're in! They're in! (man)
Police!
Let me see the hands! Go back inside!
Dallas Police! Put your hand behind your back.
Yeah. Are we clear everywhere? (man)
Yes. (man)
Clear here. (man)
Go one walking. <i>(man)
Bring him out.</i> Got him?
I got him. Another one walking. <i>(man)
Another one walking.</i> One walking. Well, it looks like we got
about three so far. And we had the runner
when we came up and ran it,
took control of him. And it went pretty good so far. We're still working on it. <i>(man)
Ma'am, is that your dog?</i> <i>(woman)
Yeah.</i> <i>(man)
Why don't you take him</i> <i>and go on back inside
right now?</i> <i>(woman)
Oh, okay.</i> Another good night, Big D. Plenty of weed, man. Yeah, a lot of weed? <i>(man #1)
Good job, boys.</i> <i>(man #2)
Appreciate it.</i> <i>(man #1)
Bosses will be happy.
That's good.</i> <i>Guess he was
a pretty busy guy, huh?</i> <i>(man #2)
Yeah.</i> You guys are the man. Look at this bad boy. Wow, good deal. They've got
about three dresser drawers full of marijuana: one loose, two in bags. And then they've got some marijuana stashed
throughout the house. The operation was successful. The narcotics guys
got the guys here with the narcotics in the house and got the bad guys
with the dope, so good work. (Rossi)
The thing about these guys is,
they're very religious. They got flowers for Guadalupe. Hopefully, this guy
will be away for a while. (Taylor)
I just got finished with 14 hours of work today, so I'm kind of tired. Currently, I am 31 years old. I am, I guess, one of
the younger guys in SWAT. There are some guys over here
that are 49 years old, and they still can do the job, and they do the job well
as an operator. It's hard to say how many years
you have left in SWAT. It just depends on the person. Today's my first day
back at work after about three months. I had a pretty serious injury in my lower back,
and it got the point to where I couldn't
do my job effectively, so I elected to have surgery, and I had the lower part
of my spine fused. Today I'm going back to work to see
if it's gonna work out. And that's my girdle. Well, my doctor's orders
were originally to stay out
for about four months. There's not really any rehab; you just have to sit around
and wait for it to heal. And after two months,
I can't stay in here any longer. I'm heading down
to the SWAT office to pick up my gear. When you're on injury time,
they take away all your toys and emasculate you and force you to go beg them
to give it back to you. (Rossi)
Welcome back, Richard. I missed Rich. I got sick and tired
of seeing him naked, laying in a hospital bed, so it's good
to have my boy back. I missed him. I'd rather you see me
like this. He's back. P.C. Every one of them's happy
I'm back. Rich,
what's up, man? <i>(Emberlin)
What's up, Mikey?</i> I need
my stuff back. It'll cost you. <i>It's already cost me.</i> <i>Where's it at?</i> Your gear's right over there,
Go and grab it. <i>All right,
one more thing</i> before you actually
get out and about. <i>I got to issue you</i> your official shirt. <i>(Emberlin)
Thank you, Mike.</i> <i>I'll take a pass.</i> Thanks, Mikey. For you, bud, anything. <i>[laughs]
Thanks, Rich.</i> (Emberlin)
Starting today,
I'll be able to act as a full-time SWAT operator, but it's kind of like being
on probation. I still have
a physical fitness test, or the PT test,
to pass later on this week. [cell phone rings] Hello. What's he doing? All right,
I'm already on my way in, so I'll just head that way. out to a barricaded person. The neighbors called, said there was a guy out here
acting erratically, waving a rifle around. Patrol responded out here, and he retreated
into his house. There he is, right there. Where? [rifle action clicks] It's been about three months since I've put on
all this gear, so... so far, so good. That bag there is probably
the heaviest thing I have. But we're shooting tear gas,
sponge rounds. All that stuff's in here,
and it's pretty heavy. (man)
We're ready? We're ready. Okay; okay.
Whoa, oa, whoa, Yeah, that'll save us
from these windows here. (Emberlin)
Suspect's barricaded
in the house. We've got two APCs on the front corners
of the house, and we've got sniper coverage
in the back. We got him
real tightly contained. He's not going anywhere. My role right now
is to find out as much information
as possible. The more information we have
about this individual, the better. <i>Okay.</i> Yeah. [cell phone ringing] Hello. Okay. Okay. A child inside? Who says that? Neighbors? Okay, thanks a lot. (Emberlin)
Right now we're
trying to ascertain whether there's a child
or anyone else inside, 'cause if there is, it's definitely gonna
change our tactics. I don't care if they
hold themself hostage. We'll get 'em out. But we want to get
hostages out alive, no other way. (Byas)
What else we got on this guy? Not a lot. <i>This is who we think
is in there.</i> He's got a history <i>of fighting the police.</i> [dog barks] Aggravated assault
on a public servant. (Emberlin)
Any barricade situation's
a tough situation, but when they've assaulted
police officers before, it makes it that much
more difficult. Curtains are moving
in the window. He's right at the window. (Byas)
Can you tell if he's got someone
in there with him? (man)
No, I can't. [line ringing] <i>Okay.</i> [line continues ringing] (Byas)
Did we get ahold of Mom? <i>(man)
All right,
hold on quick.</i> <i>How you doing,
ma'am?</i> I'm sorry to hear that. <i>Okay, can ask you
some quick questions?</i> Then I'll try
and fill in later on. Number one, would he be
in the house by himself? <i>While you're at work--
so it's just you two</i> that live there? Okay, so there's only him
inside the house. Stand by. We thought he was
in there with a child, but he does not have a child. That doesn't make the situation
any less dangerous. We still don't know
why he's doing this or what his intentions are. Okay, the next question. You said he got
out of the hospital <i>six months ago?</i> Does he take medication? He's supposed to go get therapy
and get it? All right, please stay
by the phone, okay? And I will be giving you
a call back shortly and kind of keep you updated
what's going on, okay? <i>Bye-bye.</i> Whoo!
[phone snaps] <i>Hasn't been
himself lately.</i> <i>He's supposed to be
going to get his meds.</i> So he hasn't even
got his meds yet. Okay. What set him off,
I don't know. If I can get to talk to him,
I can find that out. The neighbor says
that this cat-- I was just talking to him. He says this cat
was out here yesterday saying that the devil's
speaking in his mind and won't leave him alone. [dog barks] When suspects are mentally ill, it can make our job
even tougher, because they become
more unpredictable and erratic. <i>So I'm setting up
my 40-millimeter launcher</i> with a sponge round. Sponge rounds stun,
surprise, and hurt suspects. But it allows us
to bring 'em into custody without shooting 'em
and killing 'em. This is the Defense Technology
40-millimeter gas gun. We use it to deliver tear gas... [gunshot] Or to shoot less-lethal
munitions at the suspects. Got a range of about 100 yards. It's extremely accurate. less-lethal is just a new way to bring people into custody
without killing 'em. [gunshot] Saves lives. The plan now is,
where if he comes out, we're gonna hit him
with a less-lethal round and the arrest team is gonna
go up and lay hands on him. Johnny? <i>Gotcha.</i> I'm on you
for the less-lethal. When you think
you can nab him, if he starts going back in,
I'll light him up, and you-- <i>Okay.</i> <i>I won't miss.</i> This comes with
a guarantee, Johnny. Yeah.<i>
All right.</i> (man #1)
Are we ready? (man # 2)
We're ready. This is Dallas Police SWAT. Come out here and talk to me. There's nothing wrong
out here. We're just concerned
about you. I need for you
to come out the front door. Put your hands
clearly away from your body. <i>I know you know there's
a lot of police out here,</i> <i>but I assure you,
nobody wants to hurt you.</i> I want to know what's going on. [rifle action clicking] <i>We talked to your mother.
She's concerned too.</i> <i>You talk to me,
or you talk to your mother.</i> Where?
Where? Heads up, guy. <i>(man #1)
Curtains are moving
in the window.</i> <i>(man #2)
In Alpha 1?</i> I can see you at the window. Make it real easy.
Come out the front door. Just talk to me. <i>(man)
Lifting the blinds.</i> <i>[Jackson over PA]
That's good
you lifting the blinds.</i> <i>You're looking out.
You can see.</i> <i>Nobody's trying
to surprise you.</i> <i>There's a lot
of police out here.</i> He's got body armor on. Does look like body armor. Back off, guys. Does look like body armor. Looks like our soft body armor. Those are velcro straps
over his shoulders. (Emberlin)
If he's got body armor on,
then he has a history of fighting
with police officers. He needs to be real careful
about what he's doing. <i>[Jackson over PA]
Come to the front door
and talk to me.</i> Shaking his head "no." (Emberlin)
He's been in there so long. He may have fortified it,
'cause he's hunkered down, and he's gonna
hunker down even more. (man)
And if he does
have weapons in there and he intends to fight it out,
then that's-- of course,
that changes everything. <i>[Jackson over PA]
You tell me what's going on.</i> <i>I see you at the window,</i> <i>but I can't hear you
if you're talking.</i> <i>You're gonna have
to come through the front door.</i> <i>(man #1)
He dropped the blind.</i> <i>(Emberlin)
He's away from Alpha 1 now.</i> [grunts] That hurt. Probably break that window. <i>Gonna get tear-gassed</i> and get the full ride. You got to come out. That's the rules. A 517 in that room
would do good. [rifle cocks] I've only got one
less-lethal gun, and right now
it's loaded with gas, so I hope we don't need
the sponge rounds later. [dog barks] I mean, we know
where he's at right now. We put some in the attic here,
put one in 3 and 4, we've got him moved
where we want him. man with a scope rifle
out in front of the house. He waved it around
and retreated into the house. They called us. Got body armor on. Back off, guys. That does look like
body armor, guys. He hasn't even got his meds yet. You got to come out. That's the rules. <i>(man)
Where'd he go?</i> <i>Door.</i> (Emberlin)
Front door. (man)
Rich, forget the gas. Get less-lethal.
We need it now. <i>(Jackson)
Why don't you come
towards my voice?</i> <i>Come towards my voice.</i> Okay, Rich, Rich... <i>I'm coming.
I'm coming.</i> <i>(man)
We can't let him
go back in.</i> Come on, man.
Come on out. Look at me. I need you to come off the--
[gunshot] Come off the porch. What's going on, man? Come on, man. <i>I ain't got
no weapon.</i> Relax.
Go ahead and relax, okay? Just relax your body. Now put your hands
behind your back. Relax your body. I thought I was going
back in the house, man. Relax your body. Relax your body. <i>I had to call my mama
to get permission to leave,</i> 'cause that's her house. Get up and walk.
Get up and walk. We'll make sure you're
all right, all right? Is my mama's house
secure? Yeah, we're working
on it now. We've got her
on the phone and all that good stuff,
all right? He took that less-lethal
pretty easy. Yeah, he did. 810, suspect
is in the ambulance. We're good. (Emberlin)
In the end, this guy kind of
seemed like a harmless guy, but there was no way
for us to know that when we get here or until we get him
into custody, so we're gonna treat it like people's lives
are on the line until we get a resolution
to the problem. He had two weapons inside. They were BB guns. One had a scope on it, and he had duct-taped
a light kit on it and a bayonet, so he was ready
for some sort of action. That didn't take too long. I'm gonna head home now
and just kind of rest up. I got the PT test coming up, and there's a couple parts of it
I'm worried about. I think everybody
in the division gets nervous about the PT test,
because it's the one thing that can have you
thrown out of SWAT within a week. If you fail one part of it,
you're gone. So healthy or not, everybody worries
about the test. (Taylor)
Today we're going over
to Telos Fitness Center to see this guy named Everett, who is a acclaimed
and famous fitness guru. Pretty much, right now
I'm in very good shape, but I want to be
in the best shape possible for this job. Anyone who does SWAT work knows that it takes a toll
on your body. I don't know if Everett could have changed
Rich's back surgery scenario, but I don't want to wait till I've been in this job
six or seven years and then have back problems
or then have some issues that I could have avoided
by catching it early. Everett.<i>
How you doing, man?</i> Good to see you, bro.
You ready for this? Yes, sir. Let's see
what we can get done. First of all, we see
the feet kind of flaring out a little bit more
than they're supposed to be. This knee is kind of turned in
more than this one. This pelvis is in front
of this one. And it's also
quite a bit lower. Just try to bring
that knee up off there. That's it? And pull back. Good.
Hold right there. Now, you feel
that glute working? Yeah.
Good. Okay, good job.
Good. [whispering]
Wow. [laughs] Wow. I'll let you know,
I have a 75-year-old lady that does more
than that right there. I hate to tell you that. Man, that was something else. That hurt. You've got
all this strength up here, but it comes down
to weakness right over here that limits the potential
of everything else you have. All right, go ahead
and have a seat. The assessment lets me know
there's a long road ahead, but it'll correct
the issues that I have, and it'll make me
better long term, and you can't ask
for much more than that. I'm heading
into a narcotics briefing now where we're gonna hit a house. Possibly got a couple suspects
in there selling marijuana, maybe some crack. <i>The last time I was there,
I counted six people inside.</i> (Taylor)
The more people
you have in a house, the greater your potential
for violence and things to go wrong. Okay, DC1 will come in, and they'll try and knock down this chain-link
and wooden fence. They'll make entry
on the C side. The 7 AP team will report
to cover on these windows. (Taylor)
The APC I'm gonna be on
is gonna go to the side window, and I'm gonna provide cover
for the entry team through that side window. This is the house here. You guys can obviously see
how high up that is. (Taylor)
The window that I have to cover
is too high, so we're gonna
try something different. I'm gonna have to snag my way
on the APC soon as it stops to provide cover
for that entry team as they go through. Andre, there's really
no safe side, because as we're driving up,
the left side's exposed; as we turn in,
the right side's exposed. (Taylor)
Until I can get
on top of the APC, I'll be exposed
to potential gunfire from inside, so it's a little more dangerous
for me if I don't get up there, but, you know, it's a position
that the team needs, so, you know, you got to cover,
and you got to get the job done. <i>(man)
Hang on.
Hang on tight.</i> [fence crunching] g] [explosion] Open!
Open! Alternate!
Alternate! Alternate!
Alternate! [engine thrumming loudly] [glass shatters] [explosion] [all yelling indistinctly] Get down here. No, I'm good.
I'm good. <i>(man)
Is that good?</i> Yes, sir.
Got nothing. No suspects.
No suspects. (man #1)
They good?
Are they good? Get down here. Good? Is that good,
if I hold it there? (man)
Hold it! (man)
No suspects home.
No suspects. Got the door.
Can you see? A-team got inside. They're in.
They're in. (man)
They're in. (man)
Watch that bunch in the front! (man)
Let me see your hands!
Let me see your hands! Pulling it back out, Sarge. Go ahead.
You're good. One walking. One walking down.
Coming down, guys. <i>(Taylor)
Hey, Drew,</i> you mind
keeping a look on this, bro? I want to go check that out
real quick. On a hit, you want to make sure
you go back, and you want to review to make sure that
your plan was effective, and if it wasn't effective,
how it could be better. (man)
Dude, I thought you were
too high, though. (Taylor)
No, uh-uh, 'cause I got here, here, here, and I did this,
which allowed me to see in. I could see the couch,
from here to here. Good deal.
It worked out fine. Well, as you see,
there was no way that you could have
got cover here. This window's already
over five feet. Got anything on you
I should know about? Are you sure?
And you live here? This your house? What are you doing here? (Taylor)
We didn't get
our original suspect. However, we did
get someone inside who had marijuana on him
and a gun right next to him. <i>Uh-uh.
I didn't even--</i> All right.
Good. I'm heading out
to our firearms training center, where we have
an obstacle course, and I'm gonna try
to run through. The obstacle course
is pretty different from the actual PT test, but it's pretty intense, and I'm hoping it'll
get me up to speed. Reege. Not much. <i>How's the back?</i> It hurts. It hurts
every day, dude. Yeah, we'll see
how it is. (Emberlin)
If I don't pass the PT test, I'm gone. I go somewhere else, and it's not gonna be
anyplace I want to go. You ready? On you, brother. Attaboy, Rich.
Good. Attaboy, Rich.
Good. Good form. Good.
Attaboy. (Emberlin)
Of course I'm worried
about my back. I've never tested it like this, and any time you're
rebuilding bone in your back, I'm sure bad things can happen. <i>Attaboy.</i> You all right? That wasn't my back.
That was my hamstring. I think he may have tweaked
something in his lower back, but knowing Rich, he'll probably
admit it to me later when it's over. How do you feel? Good. Attaboy. Get up.
Good. Yeah. <i>Nice.</i> Done real good, buddy.
How'd it feel? I'm tired. Jesus, we may have to get back into some
weight training later, but other than that,
he's doing good with the cardio
aspect of it. That was a beating. It was tough out there today. A lot of things hurt
and are gonna hurt tomorrow, but I've got my work
cut out for me. I've got a lot
of physical training to do. Hopefully, I'll have enough time
to make it happen. (man)
All right, listen up, everybody. <i>We have a narcotics
warrant today.</i> <i>We're going</i> to a pretty affluent
part of town, <i>and the suspect
we're looking for</i> <i>is a 26-year-old woman.</i> We've made two
controlled purchases of methamphetamines
from the female <i>that lives
at this location.</i> <i>She's approximately
5'2", 115,</i> <i>and I got a picture
I'll pass around</i> <i>if you want
to take a look at it.</i> (Emberlin)
This one's a little unusual, because we don't run
a lot of warrants against women, but if she is dealing the kind
of drugs they say she is, she must be doing
a pretty good business to live in the neighborhood
she lives in. <i>(man #1)
Okay, is anybody else
known to be at the location?</i> <i>(man #2)
There is a guy</i> who shows to be on parole. <i>He uses that address.</i> <i>He's got numerous charges,
from possession</i> to distribution to weapons,
resisting, evading. <i>He may be there.</i> We're gonna offload from the van
in the parking lot. <i>That's when we'll be
making our approach.</i> Go do it. (Emberlin)
I'll be on the entry team today going up the stairs
into the apartment, Wearing all that gear. even on a good day,
it hurts my back. Very beautiful woman.
Big trouble. Even though she's a suspect,
a very beautiful young lady. It's a shame
she's gonna go to prison. If she's found guilty. I like the plan. This plan's real thorough. Now we just have to wait and see
what doesn't go as planned. Might have runners. Somebody might come
flying off that balcony. That parole violator might come
flying out of that balcony. You never know. I got to go find Van 1. Earlier this week, I had my first
barricaded person. Now I've got my first warrant. It's a whole new series
of physical challenges. [groans] <i>(man)
Come on in here.</i> Y'all ready?
Good to go. Get ready. <i>All right, 10-4.
We're ready.</i> Are we good? We're good. <i>880 to 840.
We are intact.</i> <i>We're gonna
get out and go.</i> Hey, is that
our suspect? What's she doing? Watch for the boyfriend. Quiet.
Quiet. Let's go.
Go! Go! [whispered]
Wait for the bang.
Wait for the bang. [explosion] Police!
Police! [gunshot] Police! Police!
Police! Police. That's fine. That's it. I think we're secure. That was her in the car? It was empty.
She was out front. (Emberlin)
The suspect was in her car when we pulled up
to hit the place, and luckily, we had
a picture of her in briefing, so we recognized her
and picked her up on the way in. <i>(man)
Here she comes.</i> <i>Yep, that's our girl.</i> Keep going.
That's it over there. Keep going.
Right here. The detective right here is searching
the suspect's vehicle, <i>looking for maybe
some narcotics</i> <i>that might be stashed
somewhere inside the vehicle.</i> What's
nar-caut-ics? Narcotics is a drug-- Oh, narcotics. Okay, I got you. It's against the law. No, no, you don't
have to explain. That's why he's on the bag. <i>[dog whines]</i> The marijuana, yeah.
I told you. Oh, there's
nothing down here. (man)
Why you got a gun in your car? My ex-boyfriend
left that gun in the car when he went to jail. I actually forgot
that was in there. (Emberlin)
She can protest all she wants,
but the detectives found quite a stash of guns and drugs
in her apartment. The cookie,
that's about 50 grams, about 20 grams of ice, a couple grams
of powdered cocaine, of course their scale. <i>Oh, yeah.</i> <i>Really?</i> Good stuff. Every suspect I've ever arrested claimed they didn't know
what was going on, so it's part of the MO. It's all the phases
of getting arrested: first, shock; denial;
tears; acceptance; jail. Rich,
first warrant back, brother. It was good.
Excellent. That was a good
first warrant back. Biggest surprise was, she was out front,
which we didn't expect, and I didn't hurt my back,
which I was hoping I wouldn't. So I've got
the PT test tomorrow. I'm gonna go home
and take it easy. Today I got to take my PT test
to see if I get to stay here and continue on
doing SWAT stuff. What up?
Okay, man? Of course I'm a little
apprehensive about the PT test. SWAT's been
a big part of my life for about the past 12 years,
and today could be my last day. This test is pretty intense. I have to do
a series of exercises. I have to do push-ups
and sit-ups, vertical leap, bench press. And probably the killer for me is going to be
that mile-and-a-half run. Come on, Rich,
let's get this done. Ready. Lift. [groans] <i>(Rossi)
Oh, yeah.</i> [grunting] Anybody counting? You are. Suck it up, baby. <i>It's what we do, man.</i> [groans] Good job, buddy. That's the way to do it. We done? With the sit-up portion,
yes, sir, we are. He did good on that one. I was surprised. I though he was
going to maybe fail that part of the test,
'cause it is your lower back. [sighs] I guess all the training
I gave him paid off. <i>Let's go, brother.
Hit the track, baby.</i> (Emberlin)
Well, I made it this far. Next thing I got to go do
is the mile-and-a-half run, and to be honest with you,
I haven't run a mile and a half or gone running at all
in four months. We'll see how that goes. (Rossi)
Begin. Come on, baby. [claps] Attaboy, Rich. Good pace. <i>He's slowing down.</i> <i>You can see him
slowing down a little bit.</i> Rich needs some help.
Think I'm gonna go help him. You put all out,
like Rich was doing right now, you tend to gas on the last two. Last one, buddy.
You're doing good. Good pace. <i>54, 55...</i> Good job, buddy. Good job. Well, you passed. We're gonna keep you
for another six months. Six months.
That's all you got. Life six months
at a time. Not bad for an old guy. He ran a mile
and a half in 9:57. (Emberlin)
Feels good to pass the test, but over here in SWAT,
it's life six months at a time. I still have a lot of work to do
to get in good shape, but I'm back,
