Day Break (2006)	comment	Today Detective Brett Hopper will be accused of shooting state attorney Alberto Garza. He will offer his rock solid alibi. He will realize he's been framed. And he will run. Then he will wake up and start the day over again.Day Break was a 2006 action thriller television series starring Taye Diggs as a cop framed for murder. He's on the run from the police, a local Latin gang who want to track down the key witness he's hidden away, and the shady mobsters who want him to take the fall. With each loop Hopper gets another chance to fix all his mistakes and try to escape the day.What sets this apart from other time loops is the fact that injuries sustained carry over in the loop, so dying is not an option. Also, he can inspire individuals to fix their own problems by leading them towards their own personal epiphanies, which keeps him from having to fix everyone's problems everyday. This can cause problems when people don't do what he expects.It's up to Hopper to find the true murderer, save his loved ones, get his witness to trial in one piece, and make it to tomorrow.Not to be confused with the British breakfast television show or the Netflix series.

Uncle Nick killed Hopper's father, who was about to blow the Jane Doe case wide open, to protect his own ass. In the final loop he tries to set Damien and Hopper against each other, but Damien realizes something isn't right and turns on Nick instead. Nick makes a rather pathetic plea for mercy before Hopper allows Damien to Do with Him as You Will.

This proves to be ill-advised, since his wife will just burst in with a shotgun, forcing Hopper to use less dramatic means in the next loop.

However, since the Big Bads want him alive as the fall guy for their plot to frame him for murder, his biggest risk is usually getting captured (and forced to watch loved ones murdered) rather than killed himself.

He also shows disgust when he learns that Nick killed his former partner, Hopper's father, even offering Hopper the option of killing him in Damien's place. Hopper manages to break Garza's wife (who lied about him having killed her husband) during interrogation by revealing that Booth had Isabella Contrares murdered because of her pregnancy. While talking to Booth, Barry Colburn shows some disdain that his junior partner's inability to "keep it in his pants" is what's finally going to bring their conspiracy down. Colburn himself is apparently a devoted family man despite his warped sense of justice.

Day Break (2006) / int_329a19a0	comment	Hollywood Healing: With the amount of days Hopper has to go through, some of them involving being knocked out or beaten, we see perhaps a little bit less permanent physical harm than expected. However, there are some clear aversions: Hopper winces and checks his ribs after the first night of being kidnapped and kicked around. Hopper's gunshot wound requires serious treatment, has a life-threatening regression when the day resets and his stitches disappear, and requires attention from Hopper every morning for many days (and episodes) thereafter to keep the wound clean, bandaged, and healing properly. Rita also asks about it when she discovers the scar later - although why this didn't seem to be an issue nearly every day thereafter is unclear.

Day Break (2006) / int_37fcf16	comment	Death is Cheap: Despite the presence of a "Groundhog Day" Loop, this is deconstructed and also partially averted. Wounds that the main character suffers carry over into the next day, so Hopper can't use Save Scumming to get away with being reckless and getting into unnecessary gunfights - if he dies, that's it. He also can't just dismiss other people dying even though they do generally come back, as he has no control over the loop. When someone asks him why he doesn't just "try again the next day" when Hopper isn't certain about someone's safety, he admits that his worst fear is that someone he loves will be killed for good because the loop has stopped.

We learn his name — Conrad Detweiler — only several episodes later. Then he is heard taking orders from somebody else — Tobias Booth. Who in one episode even executes him for allegedly leaking information to Hopper.note Incidentally, in the last aired episode Hopper learns Detweiler's name and address, assumes that he has found the boss who has answers and can make it all stop, but then some nameless and faceless man orders to bury Detweiler alive to make an example of him. And then the series was taken off air and the rest was released much later. But Booth is actually subordinate to Barry Colburn, who is the ultimate leader of the conspiracy. Hopper eventually learns the truth, but Colburn is actually so high up in the criminal chain that all his tracks are covered and Hopper can't do anything about him, so he remains a free man.

Possibly used to show that Hopper doesn't respect Chad much even when dealing with him professionally. Also a result of One-Steve Limit: because Rita kept Chad's last name from when they were married, it would be confusing to call either of them "Shelton" (even in-universe).

Once he is in a church, with the ornate high ceiling and wall furnishings captured above him. Another is in the finale, filmed from steps below and framing him against the backdrop of the courthouse behind him. Both times, we get the sense that he's in the middle of something far bigger than himself - but at the same time, he's made to look like he's got the strength to face the world if he has to, as is typical for this shot.

In the original version of the "Groundhog Day" Loop they install hidden microphones and cameras at Hopper's apartment (killing an accidental witness), tail Hopper, filming his every step, deliver threats to a corrupt policeman who wasn't helping the conspiracy diligently enough, and stand guard while Hopper is being beaten. In the subsequent iterations they prove to be the smartest and toughest agents of the conspiracy Hopper has to face again and again. By the way, they are neo-Nazi.

In episode 2, Hopper escapes from the hospital after beating up Detective Choi. He accuses Choi of planting the gun with the fake fingerprints in his closet, which they haven't found yet. In episode 10, Hopper wants Battle to look into all murder cases done execution style. When Spivak hears this he notes that this further incriminated him since Garza was killed that way and the information was not released to the public. Battle is not impressed by this detail and sticks with Hopper. In episode 11, Hopper tells Rita in the morning that he did not kill Garza though he should not have known about the murder at this point which makes Rita suspicious. In the finale, Andrea intercepts the faked physical evidence, meaning that the only other person who would've known is the one who planted it - Chad Shelton, who sneers at Hopper for getting away with murder despite his prints on the murder weapon.

Day Break (2006) / int_5cfeb43f	comment	Save Scumming: It's a "Groundhog Day" Loop, so this is obvious. However, it's subverted in some ways as well. Hopper occasionally mutters things like "I'll get there before [a past event] tomorrow" or "I've gotta do better with that next time", to the confusion of whoever he's with. A distinct example: Hopper needs several days to convince the prison warden in San Francisco to let him see Dominguez, trying various forms of bluffing, intimidation, and name-dropping along the way, often gleaning a scrap of information he can use on the next try. Subversion: It turns out people can change slightly from loop to loop. They may not remember what you did, but they're still pissed at you. And if you do something good for them, they still feel grateful. Another subversion: Injuries are carried through the "reset", but only for Hopper. Being shot in an early iteration locks him out of several more, as he keeps losing his stitches every time he loops.

Day Break (2006) / int_7aa989ea	comment	Token Evil Teammate: Damien Ortiz, Hopper's confidential informant, is an unapologetic criminal. He's got a reasonably honorable streak in him, and we see him at a niece's quinceanera, but he also murders people right in front of Hopper multiple times, often without trying very hard to be sure if they deserve it or not. His goons also turn out to be the culprits in the murder of an innocent bystander he's investigating.Unusually, Taye Diggs is a bit inscrutable as to Hopper's take on the guy. He never tries to come down on Damian very hard. But the reason why could range from basically being willing to live with everything he does, and continuing to work with him - to knowing that he's powerless on that day, but planning consequences later on for crossing the line. Given that Damien is the trigger man for the Do with Him as You Will situation in the finale, it might tend toward the former.

Every time Rita refused to testify against Brett, i.e. several times per episode, her brother got killed. In the last days Brett tells Rita to tell Billy to get out of town. He lives, his blackmailer dies, but the third strike is still hanging over him.

Initially Hopper is overly focused on only protecting himself and his girlfriend Rita and simply ignores the greater good. Not only does the day keep resetting anyway, during one loop Hopper comes across as so paranoid and deranged that he drives Rita right back into her ex-husband's arms. Eventually he accepts that he cannot prioritize his relationship with her above other people and truly sets out to Set Right What Once Went Wrong.

He becomes so despondent that he finds Safety in Indifference, taking Rita to Las Vegas and then Mexico for two weeks straight until he gets so bored with that he tells her the truth and that nobody else matters, laughing off that she will even remember the conversation they just had. When the day does change to reflect Hopper's bad behavior, he goes back to being his old heroic self.

In the order the Karma trope description summarizes the concept: The Arc Words about "decisions...consequences" is basically point 1. The interconnectedness of police work, personal issues, Brett, the people around him, past, and future is essentially what the show explores every day. When Brett has a particularly positive or negative breakthrough on one day, the "universe" changes the events of the day on future repetitions to reflect it. Hopper already resists abusing the Reset Button because it's simply wrong, but he must protect everyone from danger and avoid the callousness of despair for the day to resolve as it is supposed to.

Then he reminds Hopper of what could happen to his sister and her children if he didn't play along and confess to Garza's murder. Hopper returns this thread against Detweiler's family when he tracks down and confronts him in episode 6.

Day Break (2006) / int_e70127	comment	The Mole: Booth has somebody working for him within the police department who will tamper with some of the evidence for the Garza murder in order to frame Hopper. Hopper at first suspects it to be Spivak, since he's leading the investigation, has been incredibly hostile to Hopper in particular, and is under investigation by the Grand Jury himself. However, on the final day, he finds out that it was Chad all along, despite Chad seeming to be a Jerk with a Heart of Gold beforehand.

Chad Shelton, who tried to frame Hopper for the Garza murder. Uncle Nick and Hopper's father, who took the hush money and dropped the Jane Doe murder case. One of the SWAT members in the hostage episode is also involved in the conspiracy, and it's implied the SWAT leader is as well when he recites Detweiler's line.

This is because Nick felt a bit guilty about killing him, and stayed close to his partner's family to, in his mind, make up for it at least somewhat.

When the moment comes, the two are both ready for it, since Chad ended up picking up the call after all, off camera. After setting up a Race Against the Clock, the judges are shown meeting, while a prison van full of criminals unloads a crate of assault rifles in the courthouse hallway. Instead of bursting in on the defenseless judges, they find themselves in an empty room, and are then swarmed by a SWAT team led by Andrea, who Hopper tipped off beforehand.

Or it seems so, until Jared mentions an event that only occurred in a previous loop. The last seconds of the series implies that he may even be responsible for the loop, actually being some sort of Guardian Angel for Brett who gave him an opportunity to put his life back together.

Played with. At the end of the Hostage Situation, the otherwise dickish and obstructive Chad throws Hopper a bone after he's been taken into custody, telling him not to bother searching Chad's office in the next loop because he can find the file that Hopper needs in Chad's parked car. However, Chad probably thinks Hopper is insane, making the gesture meaningless. Either that, or he taunts him with the whole hostage mess being avoidable.
