The robbers, though not seen initially, were attempting to escape a heist they had commited, trying to flee the chasing Linden County police in the process. As they were chased, Rick, Shane, Leon, Lambert, and several other King County policemen set up a roadblock and waited for them. The roadspikes set punctured the robbers tires and flipped the car over, resulting in a wreck. The men from both stations then surrounded the trio and ordered their surrender. The men, one by one, vegan exiting the vehicle, firing at the officers, almost injuring some.

After the initial shootout, Rick reveals that he was wearing a kevlar vest, saving his life.
