Emmy worthy performances by all. Very realistic portrayal of street gangs and living in gang territory. The team having to do their jobs, remain professional, and not compromise the case is all acted perfectly.
The randomness of gang violence and culture is at the forefront and the difficulty of getting witnesses to talk.
We get to see how much of a family the team is as well as meet Tao's wife.
The last scene with Provenza and Sanchez- have tissues ready.

Watched this again for possibly the 3rd or 4th time. Honestly I think they get better on each viewing as you are tuned in to nuances of the characters' relationships. Detective Julio Sanchez is obviously centre stage in this episode and he gives a stellar performance through every emotion associated with grief. But it doesn't feel like a "performance" with such a skilled ensemble I felt totally involved in the pain and frustration of this case. Brilliant all round. I was sobbing with the sadness of the hospital waiting room - each awkward exchange protracted and painful.
Also, on repeat viewing I was more observant of technical details like the scene switches and differently paced speeds for Julio's different running patterns at the beginning and end. So good at so many levels. This season is an emotional roller-coaster and it's not always an easy ride but I really appreciate the work all involved bring to this series.

...memorable episode of the entire show. And I haven't even finished it yet.
Raymond Cruz was outstanding. "Outstanding" doesn't do his performance justice.
From the very first scene to the very last. It did not miss. I applaud the writer of this episode. It's so tragic but captivating. All it came down to was a single item. An inanimate object. Makes the heartbreak that much more.
We can't forget that a good director makes the writer's work come to fruition. Kevin did his job amazingly. No surprise since we already seen his directing in a previous episode where Chief Johnson gets shot at.
I wish I watched this show sooner but I'm a fan for life. TNT hit gold with this show and reviews have all stated as such.
