11'Arise My Love, Shake Off This Dream'James GrayAaron GuzikowskiFebruary 27, 20140.342[9]
White police officer Harold Jensen investigates an NYU student who has gone missing in the woods in the Ramapo Mountains, near the Lenape Native American settlement. Since the white and Native communities historically have not gotten along, the locals keep quiet about the disappearance, so the case stalls. Meanwhile, a dangerous member of the tribe, Phillip Kopus, returns from prison to set up an illegal prescription drug operation. He recruits his friend Mike, an outcast tribe member and visits his estranged mother Marie, who has recently been diagnosed with cancer. Harold tries to keep the peace in his home with his beloved but mentally unstable wife Jean. Though they dated as teenagers, Jean now despises Kopus because she believes he deliberately failed to prevent her brother Brian’s drowning when they were in high school. She is a recovering alcoholic who struggles with their teenage daughter, Rachel, who is dating a Lenape boy named Junior, who is Kopus' half brother. The young couple visit with Kopus, and ask if they can stay in his cabin over night. When Rachel doesn't come home that night, Jean has a nervous breakdown and drives up to the mountains to search for her daughter, but she soon becomes involved in a hit and run accident that nearly kills a Lenape youth and impacts the whole town.
22'The Wolf and the Dog'J. Michael MuroAaron GuzikowskiMarch 6, 20140.288[10]
Believing Jean actually ran over the Lenape boy, Harold covers up the truth when he fixes the damage to his wife’s vehicle, but Jean wants to make a statement. Seeing Harold’s despair over the accident, Kopus seizes the opportunity to blackmail the officer to look the other way as his illicit drug business starts up. Meanwhile, Jean and her lawyer pay a visit to the police station to go over her version of the story but she is clearly delusional and mixes up the current case to her brother’s death long ago. After spending some time at her parents' house to rest, Jean starts hearing the voice of Rachel as a little girl, beckoning her for help. When she tries to jump out a window, Harold checks his wife into a psychiatric hospital. Harold also faces the father of the hospitalized Lenape boy at his home, while Kopus has a run-in with a man from his past.
33'The Woman Who Fell from the Sky'J. Michael MuroBridget CarpenterMarch 13, 20140.169*[11]
Kopus and Mike let Junior in on their drug operation when all three break into a nursing home for more supplies. The Lenape chief and a former tribe member-turned-NYC-lawyer Sky Van Der Veen lead protestors who gather outside the police station to seek justice for the hit and run victim. Meanwhile, Jean's emotional turmoil worsens when she confesses to her doctor about hearing voices in her head since her pregnancy with Rachel, prompting Harold to move their daughters to his in-laws' home. While there, Rachel discovers a suitcase full of cassette tapes in a closet that has voice recordings by her late uncle Brian. While the search for the missing NYU college student continues, the case turns when Harold presses one of Kopus' drug buddies for information.
44'The Bad Weapons'Lodge KerriganZack WhedonMarch 20, 20140.202*[12]
The Lenape chief calls in a favor to tip off the DEA, who raid a squatter's house in the mountains for drugs, causing Harold to get caught between his law enforcement duties and his truce with Kopus. Meanwhile, Jean is diagnosed as schizophrenic, which leads to a major change in her outlook on life. Though Harold refuses to believe the diagnosis, Jean is somewhat relieved to finally know what she is up against, and hopes that she may improve with proper medication. Feeling he is keeping the wrong company, Rachel breaks up with Junior, who falls deeper into the drug trade, while she continues to listen to her uncle's tapes. Junior tries to help Marie by giving her stolen pills for her cancer, but the medication quickly runs out. A pair of NYPD detectives pay a visit to Harold's home to personally ask him some pressing questions about the college student case. After another supply run, Mike reveals to Kopus that his father Jack was the one who sent him to jail by setting him up, leading Kopus to kill Mike for concealing the betrayal and informing on him to Harold.
55'The Great Snake Battle'Lodge KerriganAaron GuzikowskiMarch 27, 20140.152*[13]
After learning new information about his father, Kopus heads to Brooklyn armed with a gun to confront him. Harold uses a crude map Kopus gave him to find where the college student's body is located. Captain Warren questions Harold as to how he knew to check 3 miles outside of the search radius, but Harold deflects this by reminding Warren that it was by the same lake where Jean's brother was killed. To cover up Mike's murder, Kopus tells Junior he got freaked out by the DEA's raid and left town. A settlement is reached with the parents of the little boy hit by Jean. Much against the Lenape Chief's wishes. When Jack Kopus' fingerprints are found on the murder weapon, the NYPD detectives get a warrant to arrest him and the results are disastrous. The truce is off when Harold tells Kopus he received an anonymous tip where his drugs are stored. Jean makes a bold choice after her father tells her she is responsible for the hit and run.
66'Snaring of the Sun'Terry McDonoughAaron GuzikowskiApril 3, 20140.107*[14]
Harold discovers the gut-wrenching truth about Jean's brother's death when he listens to Brian's tape that he made right before he died. Wanting to make everything right with his wife, he then lets Jean listen to the recording. Later, Jean pays Kopus a surprise visit at his motel and their powerful mutual attraction is reignited. Walking together into the woods, Jean declares her love for her husband, but she can't resist a passionate embrace with her former lover. Kopus tells her he wasn't responsible for Brian's death and Jean tells him that she finally knows this is true. Still angry that she had him run out of town, Kopus refuses to believe that Jean has only learned of his innocence that day. He storms off and leaves her alone in the woods, causing her to have a mental breakdown by a lake. In a daze, Jean walks into the lake and is nearly drowned, but Harold has been searching for her and pulls her out of the water in time. Junior learns Rachel is back to her old life and hanging out with the popular kids in school. After his drugs got raided in the cave, Kopus finds himself in imminent, life-threatening danger both from his father, who comes to Maria's house armed with a shotgun, and Albanian gangsters, his drug backers who track him down while in the back of Harold's police vehicle.

He learns from Jack Kopus, who is in prison that the blue sludge is paint from an auto plant, who paid the cops to look the other way so they could pump 60,000 tons into the iron mine shafts on the entire mountain.

Also, Harold learns in his absence, the town and the tribe are blaming each other for the toxic sludge.

LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva answers questions in a news conference on the shooting of a sheriff's deputy.

LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva answers questions following a press conference on the shooting of Deputy Joseph Gilbert Solano.

Southern California sheriff’s deputy Joseph Gilbert Solano, who was shot and critically wounded on Monday while getting food at a fast-food restaurant, has died, officials announced.

Solano, a 13-year-veteran deputy with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, died Wednesday afternoon surrounded by loved ones.

Rhett Nelson, a 30-year-old Utah man who his family had reported missing, was identified as the suspected gunman, investigators said. He was arrested a day after the shooting when his father called authorities to turn him in.

“We have the suspect in custody,” Sheriff Alex Villanueva said at a news conference Wednesday.

“We are continuing processing all the information, all the evidence to present a solid case for prosecution,” he added.

Nelson was suspected of walking into a Jack in the Box restaurant in the eastern Los Angeles suburb of Alhambra on Monday night and shooting Solano in the head.

The 50-year-old deputy was off duty at the time. Paramedics rushed him to the hospital in grave condition and doctors put him on life support, Villanueva said.

Solano was not wearing anything that would identify him as a law-enforcement officer and investigators said the shooting appeared to be random.

He added that there was “no prior knowledge, there’s no indication that he knew that the person was a law-enforcement officer.”

Rhett Nelson, 30, of St. George, Utah, was arrested by Long Beach police. Surveillance footage showed the suspect accused of shooting an off-duty deputy. (LA County Sheriff’s Department)

He continued, “The deputy was alerted in the restaurant that someone was following him and that’s when he turned to confront it and that’s when the shooting happened.”

Villanueva added, “The motive or rationale from the suspect, that’s a million-dollar question.”

Long Beach police took Nelson into custody Tuesday after he stopped at a church and called his father in Utah, Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau Capt. Kent Wegener said.

“In that call, he referred to committing a murder in Southern California,” he added.

Wegener said Nelson’s father called police who traced the call to the church, and shortly thereafter, Long Beach officers spotted him in a car near the church and arrested him without incident.

Investigators said they were looking into whether he killed another man an hour earlier on Monday in what appeared to be another random attack.

Chief Michel Moore with the Los Angeles Police Department said a 30-year-old man standing on a street near downtown Los Angeles on Monday was shot and killed after somebody inside a vehicle “had a brief exchange with our victim” and “gunfire erupted.”

He added that Nelson’s description and the car he was driving matched those seen at both shootings.

At the news conference Wednesday, Villanueva acknowledged police also were investigating whether Nelson was linked to numerous armed robberies in the San Diego area.

“It’s an astonishing level of violent crime in such a short period of time and we can only think that but for this last incident that crime spree may have continued,” said Villanueva.

“But, we’re fortunate that the father of the suspect made a very key phone call to the Long Beach Police Department that allowed us to put the resources together to detain him so there were no further victims in this person’s crime spree that didn’t look like it would be abated until he was actually arrested.”

Nelson’s father issued a statement on Tuesday saying he was “saddened beyond words” by the shooting “and to learn that our son Rhett is being held in connection with this horrifying and senseless attack.”

He said his son disappeared on May 26.

In a May 30 Facebook post, Nelson’s father said his son “has a history of opiate abuse and has been clean for about 6 months, but we know what a terrible struggle that is. We are praying for his safe return.”

The Salt Lake Tribune reported that Nelson did not have a violent criminal history in Utah but previously had pleaded guilty to driving with a “measurable amount” of a controlled substance in his body.

(Fox 11)

Solano was most recently assigned to the department’s custody division. Villanueva described him as a family man well-liked by everyone who worked with him.

“Not only did I lose a father figure but a best friend,' Solano’s step-daughter told reporters on Wednesday as she held back tears. “I would like to thank everybody who has supported us, sent us prayers, and the whole entire law enforcement.”

(Fox 11)

His son also got emotional as he spoke at the news conference calling Solano “a really good dad.”

Solano’s girlfriend called the attack a “senseless tragedy” and thanked law enforcement for “apprehending the perpetrator.”

She added, “Although the outcome was not what we wished it to be, we have solace knowing that he is in a better place now.”
