Operation Zero Tolerance

Summary

  Note: this is part of the Operation: Zero Tolerance (OZT) crossover.

  Aguinal and Cleveland were happy to be cops in a low-crime area, until they find Marrow's bones in the fuse box. Then she pounces and leaves them unconscious.

  Cecelia yells at Bobby for getting her trapped in the police interrogation room, but he just stares into the two-way mirror until he sees the red eyes of the Prime Sentinels, then tells her to duck. They are attacked; Cecelia's force field activates, and they are pushed backward through the wall to find themselves caught between real police and Sentinels.

  Kelly has second thoughts about his support of OZT, but Gyrich doesn't mind the carnage.

  Bobby freezes and breaks a wall, then makes an ice slide to let all the cops out. Cecelia guards his back, then he makes an igloo to shelter them from the collapsing ceiling.

  In the cells, Marrow scares the inmates into keeping still.

  At the docks, Sabra fells some would-be thieves.

  Charlotte, wounded, shoots the remaining Sentinel and explains that they took her son (captive in a mansion in Connecticut). Cecelia stabilizes her, then Marrow shows up and starts bickering with her. Bobby decides they should all get away from the Sentinels. They find the streets deserted, and Bobby (consistently too late in his suspicions), realizes it's a set-up. Sentinels surround them.
