Nate's killer was gunning for him. It wasn't random. As soon as Nate gets out of the car, the killer, a thin guy in black blue jeans a white t shirt and black blue jeans starts across the street. I think he has extensive neck tattoos but I won't swear to that. It's not a bat, it looks like a tie road with a bunch of big ugly bolts and washers at the end. He comes up and is met by a plaid shirt guy...And then you can see the weapon come out from behind his leg. It wasn't one of the guys Nate and Sammy were talking to. It seems his identity will be important in this arc, as during Sammy's desperate attempt to get Nate to the car, the killer gets four close ups. He'll be caught, ladies and gentlemen. I don't recognize the guy from the show....but he'll be caught.

So ironic, watching Nate signal the chopper code 4-everythings cool-then the baseball bat. Watching Sammy trying to protect him. So real, how things can spiral out of control so fast when you're a cop. Amazing episode, top 5 in my opinion.

I wish Sammy would have shot a few more of those guys. At the start of the show I thought maybe his wife lost her baby, then when they got out of the car I kind of knew what was gonna happen.

As I posted in the spoiler thread about this episode, I figured it was going to be Nate because--he's on True Blood now, and he can't do both shows at once, I would imagine...
I haven't seen this episode yet but I've been bracing for it because SouthLAnd doesn't do ANYTHING half-assed, and I knew this was going to hurt when I watched it :(

Why Nate?I thought he was the best,didnt see it coming,i was like in shock,trying to figure out what just happen? boy I will miss Nate he was the best so down to earth....
I knew someone was going to die this season, as was mentioned on this website perviously, but I was not expecting it to be this soon, nor for it to be Nate. Even in the flashback part at the beginning I kept saying that there is no way nate is going to die. Definitely one of the best, if not the best, episodes of the show. And I agree with AnneMarie, best show currently on television.

Best show on television, hands down. If you haven't seen the first season, I highly recommend it.
That was rough, I never saw it coming, I love Nate, I never thought he was the one in danger! That scene was gut wrenching and so real, Southland just brings it, every week, it really shows us the danger the police deal with every day! I don't think I could watch that scene again!

As a wife of a South Florida Law Enforcement Officer, this episode really hit home, especially in the wake of the loss of two Miami-Dade Police Officers and the St. Petersburg Officers. I know that this episode was filmed well in advence but it's ironic it aired this week.
I coldn't agree more. I was so SHOCKED when I saw Nate go down, and in the end when his wife screams... we knew it! We were asking why Nate? Could it be realted to that eye witness in that episode who id'd "spider"? Nate will be missed, he was my favorite next to Sherman.
