Dietrich, Wojo, and Harris are sent on a call for an officer in distress, that ultimately turns out to be a sanitation department officer getting too overzealous while on patrol. When Levitt volunteers to go on a call to get a group of kids to disperse from a construction site, he gets injured for his efforts. A car thief has a crisis of conscience after a run-in with Wojo and confesses to stealing a DeSoto nearly 25 years ago.
