It was like a w*r zone.

These guys unloaded,

Hey.

Went down just like

OK, so there's no audio,

make some sort of demand.

The pharmacist fights back.

All hell breaks loose.

Caught him completely off guard.

That's how they ended up

More innocent people would have d*ed.

Yeah.

Yo, yo.

I got a witness who was
at the pharmacy the whole time

saying she saw the whole thing.

The offenders are looking
for pseudoephedrine.

They're cooking meth.

That's why the pharmacist
keeps it in the vault.

She wouldn't open it for them, so...

All right, so get on the horn

Anyone with a meth sheet.

And one of the offenders got sh*t,

so have the lab run any blood

Mr. Gibson is on plenty of meds,

Went home to get some stuff

Oh, man.

This is my partner, Detective Upton.

Hey, Lenny. I heard a lot about you.

You did a real good thing.

We just have a couple questions for you

to help us catch these guys.

Fire away.

All right, before it all went down,

did you hear them say anything?

Did they have an accent,
anything like that?

No, no.

I was on the other side of the store.

I was...

I was just grabbing a pop.

And then I...

I heard the sh*ts, and it was,

well, you know, game on.

Did you see their faces
without the masks?

No.

Any descriptors at all?

No.

I'm sorry.

It was too fast.

Hey, don't be sorry, all right?

Just hang tough. Rest up.

Hey.

Let's do it again sometime.

You bet.

Excuse me.

I'm Nolan, Lenny's buddy.

Did you find these sons of b*tches?

We're working on it.

You serve together?

Hooah.

You all still active duty?

AGR.

Hooked in with Joint Forces,
Narcotics ops.

Multinational cartel targets.

- Lenny too?
- Nah.

But he's the most decorated

Defused IEDs for our unit.

But he did his time.

He did it well.

Thanks for looking after his family.

This is two months ago in Brighton Park.

This is two weeks later down in Chatham.

Robbery-homicide worked both of them.

Same height, weight, build.

Same freaky mask, same weapons.

Same target... pseudoephedrine.

They boosted , cold medicine pills

in these two robberies alone.

Oh, so this latest robbery
was an escalation?

Yeah, so they started out

by hitting
pharmaceutical transport trucks

on the way to the big box stores.

But last month, the stores hired
off-duty cops to escort those trucks.

So this time, they waited
for the stuff to be delivered.

Escorts left, heat d*ed down.
Then they hit it.

But we can't move yet on

on our BOLO, witnesses.

Just got a call.
