Harmon looks at him. For ten seconds, there is no dialogue. Eriq La Salle directs this episode, and he holds that shot of the two faces in the rearview mirror.
What did you think of Diaz’s choice? Should Harmon have stopped him? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.
This triggers the episode’s central conflict. Diaz wants to break the rules. He suggests "tactical waiting"—following Webb until he makes a mistake. Harmon, the 20-year veteran, refuses. She recites the mantra: "We enforce the law, we don't fix it."
When Internal Affairs reviews the clip, Diaz is threatened with suspension. Harmon is reprimanded for "escalating tone." Webb walks. Here is where On Call earns its R-rating and its complexity. As they drive Webb back to the precinct for processing on a different charge (loitering, a slap on the wrist), Diaz locks the car doors.
