The on the job shooting death of Medal of Valor recipient Officer Tom Porter, Malloy's colleague and close personal friend, is the impetus for Malloy to relay Tom's story, documentary style as the narrator. As Malloy was Tom's friend even before they joined the academy together, he and Reed had the unfortunate task of breaking the news of his death to Tom's wife, Marge, who Tom and Malloy first met when they applied to become police officers, as Marge was the clerk at city hall. His death leaves Marge to raise their two infant children on her own. Tom excelled at most things related to the academy training and later on the job work, but those few things in which he didn't he was harder on himself than anyone else could be. Although Tom and Malloy's naive dream of being partners never materialized, their professional paths crossed often. Malloy has the honor of telling his story, if only the reason to do so was different. Written by Huggo

Malloy and Reed pull over a driver on what looks to be a routine traffic violation. Beyond finding that the driver, Mr. J. Simmons, is inebriated, they have more pressing concerns about dealing with Mr. Simmons, which requires backup, albeit not of an emergency nature. Next, they are called to a pharmacy, where the pharmacist notices one of his regular customers changing his spending behavior well beyond his normal means, which may indicate some level of criminal behavior. The problem is that the perpetrator, generally known as a good person, is only nine years old. And as afternoon turns into night, Malloy and Reed, on patrol, notice a van on what looks to be suspicious activity. As they observe the goings-on of the two men in the van after the van is parked, they believe they've come across a high end auto parts theft and sales ring. They have to sit and wait for some illegal transaction to take place as a van full of auto parts alone does not a crime make. Written by Huggo
