Please, I don't want
to see those men again.

- I understand...
- They said they'd kill me

if I ever talked
about what happened.

- That's not going to happen...
- She said no.

If you'll just hear me out,
Mr. Hill...

I-I've heard enough;
she's 16 years old

and she's been through hell.

I'm taking her back to Chicago.

- I know it's difficult...
- She's not testifying.

(sighs)

I don't blame her old man
for being pissed.

The sex trafficking laws say
the victims must appear in court

to prove they were coerced
by the defendants.

That's crazy.

47 other states agree with you.

Check out the other victims?

Yeah, they're in
even worse shape.

This girl's our best shot.

Run the case again.

These animals aren't gonna walk.

(camera shutter clicking)

Come on.

Okay.

Deal's done. We got our guy.

Let's pick him up.

We got company.

It looks like
one of ours.

You got a second
for me, detectives?

Tommy, what the hell
are you doing here?

That's what we need
to talk about.

Right.

What the hell
did we step in this time?

You look like hell.
You getting any sleep?

That's what I get
for having a kid at my age.

Detective Tommy Pierce,
my partner,

Detective Maria Baez.

Tommy works for
the Organized Crime Task Force.

Which doesn't explain why
we're letting our suspect flee.

Your suspect just
did business with

the Lion's Head drug cartel.
- Which explains why

the Organized Crime Task Force
is interested in our suspect.

Been building the case
for months,

we're about to make our move.

And you don't want us
to scare him off.

I can give you my word that
once we take down the cartel,

we'll make sure
that you have everything

you need to make your collar.

- Really?
- Really.

- Well, then we only got one question.
- Shoot.

Do you need two extra bodies
for the takedown?

I think I can make that happen.

Okay.

(sighs)

Told you you weren't
gonna like it.

Why were we out
of the loop?

They didn't come up with this
over breakfast this morning.

Chief Assistant D.A. said
it was an oversight.

Coming out of the bathroom

with your fly down
is an oversight.

Declaring the D.A.'s office
will no longer

prosecute marijuana laws?

That's a shot across the bow.

To be fair, Brooklyn D.A.'s been
operating under the same policy.

I don't care. Marijuana laws
are still on the books.

- But if the law's antiquated...
- Change the law.

His statement
also recommends legalizing

the possession of marijuana.

So, if I'm walking down
the street smoking a cigar,

I get a summons,
but if I'm smoking a joint,

I'm cool.

I get what you're saying, boss,
but if the D.A. won't prosecute

pot cases, why waste
our guys' time making arrests?

Because we choose to do
the job we were hired for.

I'm real comfortable with that.

Set up a meeting
with the D.A. forthwith.

You sure you don't want
to take a beat?

Maybe cool down a little?

Forthwith.

(siren wailing)

(tires screeching)

Ramos!

We got a guy with a gun
in the bodega!

Six to eight civilians
trapped inside.

(crowd murmuring)
Everybody stay back, clear the area!

ESU and HNT?

On their way!

Back off!
(people screaming)

Or I'll kill everybody in here!

(bullets ricocheting)

(woman wails)

(gunfire continues)

Ramos, move in!

Copy that.

WOMAN:
Help me.

(crying)
Ma'am, ma'am, let's go.

(guns firing)

JAMIE:
Hide behind the door, okay?

Stay put right here. Stay put!

OFFICER (over radio):
Suspect is in custody.

(panting)

OFFICER 2 (over radio):
Central, 10-13.

We've got an officer down.

Officer shot at this location.

(grunting)

PERP:
Come on, get off me.

(handcuffs click)
Ah, my wrists.

Keep him there.
I'll call a bus.

PERP:
Get off me.

Ramos. Ramos, how you doing?

- We got, we got him, boss.
- Okay.

St. Benjamin's three blocks
away. Let's get him in the car.

Here we go, keep pressure on it.

(indistinct chatter)

- Hey.
- You okay?

Not the one who got shot.

I talked to Ramos' partner.

He said you made the right call.

I sure hope so.

You had to send them in, Jamie.

Could have waited
for ESU to show up.

Shooter had hostages, right?

All alive and unharmed
at the time.

- Don't do that.
- Do what?

Armchair quarterback yourself.

You did the right thing.

Tell that to Ramos.

We're in a tough spot with

your sex trafficking case.
- Tell me about it.

Without Tonya Hill's
testimony, we can't prove

that she was coerced
into prostitution.

A law that makes no damn sense.

I agree, but the new legislation
that would change

the standard is stuck
in Albany politics.

You should see what they did
to these girls, Erin.

Locked up in apartments
for months.

Turning ten
tricks a day.

Which is why we need
Tonya to take the stand.

So we, what, serve a subpoena
on a traumatized girl?

So she can go relive her
nightmare in open court?

Forcing reluctant victims
to testify feels lousy,

but letting the bad guys
go free feels even worse.

I'll tell you what--
you get Tonya to testify

and I will ask the D.A. to lobby
the governor to sign

the new sex trafficking law.

That way, we won't have to go
through this nightmare again.

It's the best we can do.

(sighs)
Hey.

Heard Tonya Hill's father

hired a lawyer
to fight the subpoena.

Ugh, yeah, she's
scared to death,

so I don't blame him.
- What are you gonna do?

I'm going to ask
the judge for an adjournment

to try to buy ourselves
some more time.

Did you see the D.A. about
the new sex trafficking law?

Yeah, and he agreed
it's long overdue.

That's good.

He also agreed that Governor
Mendez is the only one

who can get it done.

- So he's gonna make a call.
- No.

- Why the hell not?
- Apparently, he and Mendez

are not on speaking terms.

- Oh, here we go.
- Chatwal came out

against his
sentencing law

that the governor had
sponsored last year.

We're talking about young girls
here; let's get over it.

Apparently, he is not a
"get over it" kind of guy.

So that's it?
The law's dead in the water?

Not exactly.
Chatwal chose someone else

to lobby the governor.

- Who's that?
- Me.

He said, as Trial Bureau
Chief, I supervise the cases

impacted by the
current law.

Yeah, well, he's got
a point there.

You can do this.

You think?

I have no idea; I'm just trying
to be supportive.

Thanks.

We've identified a sit-down
that will put

all the Lion's Head bosses
in the same place.

One-stop shopping.

Then we can charge
them under the RICO Act

with conspiracy.
- Exactly.

We do this right,
we'll cripple their operation.

Team leader will
break down the details.

Save me a seat, okay?

How's Val and the baby?

Have a look?

Wow.
(chuckles)

Look at that smile.
Yeah.

She's getting so big.

Yeah, you haven't seen her
since the christening.

- Yeah.
- Meant a lot to us, having you

and the boys there.

Come on, after all
you guys went through

to have her in your life,
how could we miss it?

I'll be digging out
from under those

fertility bills till
this one's driving.

Yeah, but it's worth it.

- Yeah, in spades.
- Yep.

How are the boys
doing? Okay?

- Yeah, they're, they're adjusting.
- Yeah.

It helps that Val
stays in touch, you know?

- Means a lot to them.
- Yeah.

- - You're a lucky man.
Thanks, Danny.

Sir, ADA Reagan is here.

ADA Reagan is here?

Let's have her.

Good afternoon.

How many times
that son of a bitch

gonna send you to take his heat?

You mean the district attorney?

Yeah. If he's gonna pursue this
ridiculous marijuana policy,

he ought to have the balls
to show up himself.

Well, in that case, the right
son of a bitch is here.

It's my policy, not his.

(sighs) Remind me to bring the
penal code to dinner on Sunday.

I am sure you think
it's misguided.

I don't think; I know.

But eliminating marijuana
possession cases

will relieve a huge
strain on the system.

What? You're inconvenienced?

No, overwhelmed
by nothing cases.

So the solution is
to undermine cops' morale.

We make arrests
you don't pursue.

In order to free up resources
for more serious crimes.

Boy, there's some
half-assed logic.

Meaning?

Meaning, failing to
prosecute lesser crimes

undermines the rule of law,
encouraging more serious ones.

Erin, if you think
you're overwhelmed now...

I don't think; I know.

(sighs)

A lifetime in police work,
and I missed the wisdom

of letting lawbreakers skate.

Any lifetime includes revisions
and reinventions.

And when they change the law,
we'll change our enforcement.

I was really hoping we would
come to an understanding.

Okay. We'll arrest,
you'll prosecute.

How's that sound?

(indistinct chatter)

TOMMY (over radio):
All units, on my mark. Three...

two... one.

Mark.

(screaming)

Do not move!
Drop your weapons!

(screams)

(screams)

OFFICER:
Cover my right!

Clear.

All clear.

Take cover!

(screams)

Get down!

(groaning)

Tommy.

(whispering):
Cover.

I can't see him.
Take the shot.

What the hell
are you doing, Tommy?

(speaking Spanish)

- Danny!
- Yeah!

Officer down.

- Damn it.
- You okay?

- Yeah.
- Where the hell was Tommy?

I don't know.

I don't know what
the hell happened. (groans)

Hey.

Hey, Tommy.

What the hell happened
back there?

Is your arm okay?

Yeah, don't worry about my arm.

Why didn't you take the shot
and take out the shooter?

Couldn't be sure there weren't
Task Force members behind him.

There was a Task Force member
about to get taken out.

- - It was a complicated situation.
Complicated how?

I would've been shooting blind.
The cop still had his gun.

He could've taken
the guy out himself.

While he was bleeding out?

Look, I'm sorry you got hurt.

I really am, but this
operation was a success.

I stand
behind my actions.

What do you think?

Look, I know Tommy.

If he stands by his call,
it's good enough for me.

It sounds more like an excuse
than an explanation.

I don't know.

I don't know.

ADA Reagan.

Governor, thank you so much
for making time to see me.

My pleasure. Please.

You hungry?

Tuna tartare
is outstanding.

I'm fine, thank you.

I'm used to doing business
with a different Reagan.

This is definitely
an upgrade.

I know you're busy,
so I'll get right down to it.

I want to discuss the new
sex trafficking law.

I'll save you some time.
I'm all for it.

- You are?
- Damn right.

Those animals
should rot in jail.

But your real point is: why
haven't I enacted the new law?

Well, yeah, I can't imagine
that sex traffickers

have a powerful lobby.

You are an upgrade.

No. The assembly speaker
opposes it.

On what grounds?

On the grounds that
the bill's attachment

doesn't include funding
for a new bridge

over some river
in his home district,

among other cuts of pork.

Is there a deal to be made?

There's always
a deal to be made.

The trick is making one
you can actually live with.

Young lives are being
destroyed, Governor.

Can you live with that?

It's not that simple.

I understand, but is it fair

that young boys
and girls have to suffer

because of some
bureaucratic dispute?

No, it's not fair,
but it is politics.

GORMLEY: Weighing pot
on a cop car?

Look at this dirtbag,
will you?

Okay, now I've seen everything.

Where the hell
are the officers?

On their meal
across the street.

Has the boss
seen this yet?

- Not that I know of.
- If I know him...

I want the entire command staff
in my office in one hour.

(indistinct radio transmission)

(siren chirping)

- What's up?
- Kid flagged us down.

His folks are going at it
pretty good upstairs,

says his old man's got a knife.

Okay.

We'll head upstairs, Sarge.

No, you two stay with the kid.
I'll go in.

But we can handle this.
I know you can. Call it in.

At least let us back you up.

Sit tight. I need help,
I'll call for an 85.

The defendants are charged with
sex trafficking, Mr. Richardson.

Yes, Your Honor.

Which requires you to prove
the plaintiffs were forced,

coerced, or defrauded
into performing sex acts

by the accused.

And we are pursuing
that testimony.

May I be heard,
Your Honor?

Court recognizes ADA Reagan.

Thank you, Your Honor.
While we strenuously

take issue with the current
sex trafficking laws,

we will not
argue them here.

That said, requiring
underaged victims

to prove they didn't have

consensual sex with an adult,

when, as minors, they're not
legally qualified to do so...

The court is aware of the
inherent conflict, Ms. Reagan.

The People request
an adjournment in this matter.

To what end?

In order to produce a witness

that is capable of testifying
to the alleged crimes.

The defendants are currently
in custody.

They have a right
to be faced by their accusers

in a timely fashion.
- Your Honor...

Therefore,
no adjournment

will be granted.

Once a trial
has commenced,

the People must call

the victims to prove
the crimes charged.

If not, I'll be forced

to dismiss the
indictment.

Thank you, Your Honor.

How'd it go with
Infernal Affairs?

We're not the subjects. They're
looking at the cartel raid.

Anything
I should know?

Detective Reagan?

- How's the arm?
- Fine.

I'm investigating claims that a
certain member of the Task Force

failed to take
proper police action.

Well, the operation
was a success.

The cartel chiefs
are in custody,

and everyone
did their job.

Maybe not everyone.
Several team members say

Detective Pierce
froze under fire.

All hell broke loose.

Tommy was pinned down
just like the rest of us.

But unlike Pierce,

you managed to come to the aid
of your fellow officer.

I was in the right place
at the right time.

From what I'm told,

the injured officer was here.

You were here.
Detective Pierce was here.

Pierce clearly had
a clearer path

to the shooter than you did.

Look, there are hundreds
of variables in any firefight

that you can't really define
in some drawing, okay?

Okay. Tell me what I'm missing.

There's always gonna be second
guessing in any major operation,

especially when
one of our own gets hurt.

Sometimes it's justified.

Just because
an officer goes down

doesn't mean somebody
screwed up.

You and Detective Pierce went
to the Academy together, right?

Yeah, so?

You're personal friends?

Doesn't mean
I'm covering for him.

I'm glad to hear that.

Fact is, you had the best view
of Detective Pierce's actions.

And he did his job.

I hope so, because
if I find out Pierce froze

and you weren't
straight with me,

I'm coming after both of you.

You on another
stakeout?

No. You and I got to chat.
Let's take a walk.

That's why they
make barstools.

Yeah, well, we can't be seen
together right now, you and me.

Heard IAB's
asking questions.

You heard right. They're
looking at the takedown.

- Looking at me?
- Yup.

Saying I froze up
out there?

Something like that.

What did you say?

What do you think I said?
I had your back.

- I appreciate it, Danny.
- Uh-huh.

Look, they're not gonna
give up on this, IAB.

They're gonna
call me back in.

I need to know what
really happened in there.

Hey, like I
told you, I...

No, I know what you told me,
okay, and I'm not buying it.

You want me to
stick up for you,

you got to give
me the truth.

Honestly, Danny, I don't know
what the hell happened.

I've been in a lot
tighter spots than that.

Yeah, Tommy, I get it.

There's nobody I'd rather be
in a foxhole with,

but something changed. What?

No, it was like...

All I could think about was...

was my baby girl, you know?

What would've happened if...

Plenty of cops have kids.

But you still got to be able
to do the job

or you're gonna put
people's lives in danger.

I know, I know,
it's just still brand-new.

You know?
And we waited so damn long.

Look, I-I know
it's a big ask, Danny,

but if you stand up for me,
IAB has no case.

I promise you
this will never happen again.

Tommy, it better not.

ERIN:
Thank you both for coming in.

MR. HILL: My lawyer told
me not to come.

We're flying home tonight,
so whatever you have to say,

say it fast.

I appreciate your position.

I need you to understand mine.

We have the power

to compel Tonya's testimony,

and no lawyer can quash
a legitimate subpoena

from this office.

(sighs)

So you're gonna force me
to take the stand?

To see those men?

I have the responsibility
to make sure

the men who victimized you
pay for their crimes.

Give me a break.

With what you're gonna
put her through,

y-you guys are almost
as bad as they are.

However, despite the fact
this is our only chance

for a conviction, I have decided
not to force Tonya to testify.

Are you serious?

Thank you, Ms. Reagan.

The men who hurt you didn't care
about the pain they caused.

I do. I don't want you
to suffer anymore.

I just want this
all to be over with.

I know.

Unlike the men who did this,
I'm gonna give you a choice.

You can fly
home tonight.

But if you do,
the men who hurt you

will go right on hurting others.

I-I don't want that to happen.

Then you have
a decision to make.

Is it harder to take the stand
and tell your story

or live with the knowledge

that you could've saved others
from a similar fate?

(door opens)

(door closes)

What the hell are you doing?

- Checking the meat.
- That's not what I'm talking about

and you know it.

None of your
officers showed up

for their scheduled
court appearances on Friday.

Must've put quite a strain
on the system.

You could have at least
given me the heads-up

you were disrupting
active cases.

Like the heads-up I got
on the new marijuana policy?

That is the D.A.'s decision.

Look at you, passing the buck.

No, it is my policy.

But the timing and scope
of rollout rests with the D.A.

Look, anyone who asks the NYPD
not to enforce the laws

is gonna get the same response.

Being what?

Take a hike, respectfully.

This needs more time.

And the poor guy's insurance
wouldn't pay for it.

- That's terrible.
- Yeah.

What was he thinking?

Hey, could we talk
about my wedding?

My wedding?
You marrying yourself?

It's just the way women
phrase it, Jamie.

Okay, our wedding.

Pretty sure I remember you
telling us

we're not allowed
to talk about your wedding.

You're okay to talk about it
if I bring it up.

Oh!

Any other guidelines
we should know about?

I vote for a destination
wedding. Someplace beachy.

You do have some idea
what a cop makes, right?

It's tradition
for the father of the bride

to pay for the wedding...

I'm so sorry.

Hey, that's okay.

Okay. How can we help?

Well, are there any family
traditions that I should...

we should be thinking about?

Well, church.

Any particular one?

I'm guessing Roman Catholic?

I know, I meant, wha-- uh,
the-- wh-where did you get...?

Oh, um, Point O' Woods
on Fire Island.

Jack's family had spent
summers there for generations.

- Episcopals.
- Pop.

We had to ship in a priest
for the day.

Literally
bring him over by boat.

All right, you need
to get over it, Pop.

Maybe one day.

Where was yours again, Dad?

Holy Trinity in Bensonhurst.

Yeah, I remember all the stained
glass and that marble.

Yeah, but now there's
a Home Depot on that site.

DANNY:
Not for nothing,

but mine and Linda's place does
fit all the criteria,

and it's on Staten Island,
which is kind of a destination.

(laughs):
That's not what I meant.

What? It's Staten Island.

It's an island. It has beaches.

Yeah, but the name...

- What?
- It's not...

Our Lady of Perpetual
Sorrows, right?

Okay, the name stinks,
but the ambiance is wonderful.

I'm sure it is.

Well, why not St. Angelus?

I got married there,
we go to church there

every Sunday.

It's about as strong a family
tradition as you could ask for.

That'd be nice. Of course,
it's totally up to you two.

- Yeah.
- You?

Okay by me.

ERIN:
Great.

Done. How about the honeymoon?

Um, what did you do?

Oh, well, we rented
the cutest cottage

on Cisco Beach in Nantucket.

We had a blast.

- Yeah.
- Mm.

And remember
those lobster rolls?

- Oh, my gosh.
- We went to that lobster roll place

six days in a row, it was so delicious.
- So good.

Pop, we rented those bikes.
You could ride around

that whole island
in three hours.

(overlapping chatter)

Remember, the blues were
running early that year?

Wait... wait.
We could whistle them in.

NICKY:
Obviously, I wasn't born yet,

but my whole life,
I've heard these stories.

Oh, a thousand times.

Wait, you all went
on Erin's honeymoon?

ERIN: Yeah.
- Yeah.

Yeah, it was, like,
a family affair.

Of course we did.

All of us.
You should see the pictures.

- Okay. I get it.
DANNY: The lobster, the food, the clams...

Okay. You guys, you all had me
for, like, a second.

What?

What do you mean, "what"?

Never mind. Sorry.

No, please, I-I...
it was just...

Well, to be fair,

you did ask us
about our family traditions.

(chuckling)

(chuckling)

You guy-- not again, please.

(laughter)
You guys.

Really?

- Again?
- It's too easy.

So easy.

Ah, it's too easy.

Irish exit?

I have a lot of work to do.

How do you do that?

Do what?

One minute, you and Grandpa
are in a cold war...

It's not a war.
It's more like a disagreement.

And the next,
you're playing tricks together.

You mean dinner?

- Yeah.
- Every once in a while,

as often as we can,
dinner needs to be a green zone.

But how do you just put aside
whatever you...?

With a lot of effort.

Because it's important.

Because it may just be the best
tradition this family has.

There had to have been one
where you just couldn't?

There's been a lot,
and you've been at a lot.

And then what?

When dinner's over,
the war resumes?

Disagreement.

And, yes, sometimes
you can't just...

paint over it or laugh it off.

Maybe...

I-I really do have
a lot of work, so...

Call me when you get home.

(crowd cheering on TV)

Hanging out with your friends?

Ha, ha.

49 to 30?

How do you stay interested?

For the lessons in character.

Sorry I'm not
very good company tonight.

No, no.

Is that what you were
doing the other day,

bigfooting that call?

Giving those cops
a lesson in character?

That was nothing.

That's not what I heard.

Sergeants handle jobs
in the field every day.

You saying it had nothing
to do with Officer Ramos?

That's right.

Every cop in the precinct thinks
you did the right thing, Jamie.

Including Ramos.

So I should just get over it?

Yeah. You did your job.

Well, maybe this job
isn't for me.

And how's that?

JAMIE:
Because I signed on

to maybe prevent tragedies,
not set them in motion.

Can I get you anything?

No, we're, uh,
we're all good, Pop, thanks.

So, what, you'd just
give back the stripes?

Danny never became a boss,
and he's a hell of a cop.

Yeah, you're not Danny.

You can do whatever you want
with this job.

You could be PC
if you want.

Just because
you can do something

doesn't mean you should.

I was a damn good cop
on the street.

Maybe I should've
just stayed there.

(phone ringing)

Reagan.

Yeah, okay.

Close the door.

What are you doing
down here, boss?

I'm not here.

Come again?

This meeting never happened.
We never talked.

Oh. This is about
the IAB investigation.

This is about you
being smart, Danny.

Mm-hmm. I've known Tommy Pierce
for 25 years.

So buy him a silver tea set.

But don't toss
your career away for him.

You don't understand.

I understand fully. All right?

Pierce froze and he's going down
for cowardice.

The only question is whether
you're going with him.

No. IAB said they need
my statement to nail Tommy.

They're not getting
my statement.

Yeah, they are.

Okay, look, maybe
he froze up for a second.

Okay? But you know it happens.

Not with a fellow officer
bleeding a few feet away.

There's no excuse
for that.

I get that, but it's just
one tiny little second

in decades of great work.

We don't get to pick
our defining moments, Danny.

Oh, it was the old man
who sent you here? Is that it?

You know better than that.

You also know
he won't step up

and save your shield
if you lie to IAB.

And you ought to know better
that I would never ask him to,

nor would I want him to.

Danny, you got to get ahead
of this thing.

(sighs)

I can't.

You ran away from home
nine months ago?

Yes. My parents and I
were fighting.

How did you meet the defendants?

I met them on the street.

They bought me a meal
and they said

they had an apartment
where I could stay.

(door opens)

What happened there?

They forced me
to have sex with men.

And the men paid them.

Did you try to refuse?

Yes, but, um,

they would tie me up
and beat me,

burn me with lit cigarettes.

These are photos of Ms. Hill's
injuries on the day

authorities rescued her.

Are the individuals who did this
in the courtroom today, Tonya?

Yeah.

(sniffles)

That's them.

You sandbagged me, Counselor.

Sir?

I've got a daughter her age.
But you knew that, right?

Hmm, you figured I'd watch
that kid fall apart,

see her old man go to pieces,

and I'd have a come-to-Jesus
moment, am I right?

I just thought you
should see the reality

of what these
victims go through.

I get lobbied 24/7, Counselor.

By people selling their souls
on layaway plans.

I understand that.
In my position,

if I allow emotion
to govern my decisions,

I'd be out on my ass.

And yet, in your position,
you're the only one

who can help us stop
these sex traffickers.

You want this real bad, huh?

Of course I do.

All right.

I could cut a deal
with the speaker

to push the law through.

You could or you will?

I'm rolling out a pretty tough
crime bill this spring.

I'll need your boss's support.

The D.A. doesn't consult me
on policy.

Yeah, but he respects you.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be here.

I could use a thumbs-up

from your old man, too.

But I haven't read the bill yet.

Call it a leap of faith.

Okay.

(elevator bell chimes)

Welcome to the varsity.

You don't have
to do this, Danny.

If it were me they were asking
questions about,

you'd have my back, too.

If you hung a wounded officer
out to dry?

Not a chance.

Well, thank God
the wounded officer's

gonna be okay,
and I took out the shooter.

Besides, you're not me
and I'm not you.

(sighs)

Danny.

Detective Reagan.

(knocks on door)

What are you doing here?

SLOAN:
Your interview

is no longer required,
Detective.

Because you're dropping
the investigation?

Detective Pierce
has made a full statement.

Meaning what?

I'll let you two discuss that.

I'm done here.

Want to tell me
what the hell's going on?

I just did what I should've done
in the first place.

Tommy, what are
you talking about?

Danny, I couldn't live
with what I did.

All right?

And I sure as hell
couldn't let you

get jammed up because of me.

So what's gonna happen?

I'm retiring, man.

I just turned
in my shield.

Why the hell didn't you come
and talk to me about it first?

What, so you could
talk me out of it?

I don't know, maybe.

Look, it's done.
Okay, it's done.

We both know it's right.

Well, what are you gonna do now?

(sighs)

I don't know yet.

I mean, you guys gonna be okay?

Do you need help with anything?

Yeah, we'll be okay.

It's funny.

You know... being a cop's been
my whole life for so long.

Last few days, I realized...

it's just not my life anymore.

Things kind of change
when you become a dad, yeah.

That is my life now.

Everything else I'll figure out.

I know you will.

(hands clasp)

All right, Saturday
morning, flag football.

I expect to see you and Sean.

We'll be there.

Good.

See you around.

(sighs)

Here I am, Pop.

Thanks for coming out.

You know what this place is?

Yeah. Cop Arlington.

Police Arlington.

I know what it is, Pop.

Eddie talk to you?

No, she did not.

Give me some credit.

I've known you
since the day you were born.

Copy that.

Everyone that is buried here
either died in the line of duty

or sent other officers
to their death.

I accept the risk to me.

I signed up with eyes wide open.

But I don't think
I'm cut out for command.

The department can't function
without command.

I get that.

I also get that Officer Ramos
almost lost his life

as a result of my order.
- Almost.

- Almo-- Pop.
- But one will die

one day, don't get me wrong.

And maybe not the only one.

But a strong leader,
which is in you,

will have saved more
lives than he lost

when it comes to
the end of the day.

Got a minute?

That depends.

(sighs)

Hear me out. Please?

The six original hockey teams

played against each other
14 or 15 times in a season.

Real hatred sprung up,
real teeth got knocked out,

real eyes got gouged.

And by the end
of the season,

before the playoffs,

a lot of the guys wanted
to kill each other.

This is you and me?

A custom took hold in the 1930s.

After each deciding game
in the playoffs,

players lined up
on the ice, shook hands,

congratulated,
consoled each other.

They still do it today.

Unique in professional sports.

So you and I are
gonna shake hands?

You sprung your new policy on me
without a heads-up,

I took it personally,

I held my cops
from your courts for a day.

That was aimed right at you.

Takes a lot to admit that.

I'm not proud of it.

But I also think that I wouldn't
change the way I handled it.

Look,

this isn't the first time
and it sure won't be the last.

We can't be father and daughter
out there.

On the ice.

So to speak.

We may very well

be playing against each other
14 or 15 times in the season.

And there is gonna be
missing teeth and busted noses

and trash talk.

So to speak.

But no matter what,

we know we are lining up
on the ice and shaking hands

after the final buzzer.

I have recommended
a revised marijuana policy.

It mandates prosecution
of any individual

that causes public harm
through marijuana use.

A judgment call to be made
by the NYPD.

I can try and live with that.

Thank you.

So...

Shall we?

Good game.

Good game.
