27
Two black men call an ambulance before they attack a person with a machete. They repeat this every 27 minutes, in revenge for their brother, who had to wait 27 minutes for an ambulance when he was stabbed in a bar while celebrating his college graduation.
Tropes
- Arc Number: 27. This is the number of minutes it took the ambulance to reach the Unsubs' brother, and by then it was too late.
- Rescue Romance: Emily saves Mendoza's life. They end up dating.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: The UnSubs are bitter that it took the ambulance twenty-seven minutes to get to their brother, so now they attack people with machetes every twenty-seven minutes.
- Take Me Instead: FBI agent Andrew Mendoza offers himself in place of a civilian victim.
