Hey, hey!

- Oh!
- It's all right, mam.

Where did he go?

He's up there.

Okay, stay here.

Call for backup.
- All right.

It's Toby Logan, yeah, IIB.

All right, look, just get here quickly.

IIB, stop right there!

He drew on me.

I didn't have a choice.

How's it going?

Hey, how's Michelle doing?

She's got her game face on.

I think it's wearing on her.

It's never easy.

That's why I like this job, you know?

I prefer the stitching 'em up,

helping to make 'em feel
better part of the equation.

Me too, kinda miss it.

All right, have a good one.

See ya.

I received a tip that
Morganstern had counterfeit money

plates in his possession.

That's a huge break.

Yeah, he's the poster
boy for disappearing acts.

So I had to move fast.

Who's the source?

It was synonymous, blocked number.

I back channeled word we
were interested to anyone

that cared to share.

He had lots of enemies.

And you brought Toby into
all this without backup?

Yeah, well, have you
ever tried to shake Toby

in an emergency?

Look, I gave him the low down,
and he insisted on coming.

Since when is that his call?

We're a team.

Alvin, we work together.

We know each other's moves.

He could have escaped
without Toby being there.

All right, well, you know the drill.

I booked you an appointment
with a psychologist.

Yeah, okay, just get the shooting team

in as soon as possible, okay?

I have too much on the go

to get sidelined by their schedule.

I will tell them it's a priority.

Constable Partack, how goes the search?

We covered the alley.

No sign yet of the dead guy's gun.

Uh-huh, do me a favor, cover it again.

Goes without saying, sir.

I've also got officers checking the roof,

the fire escape landings, window ledges,

and any other possible
crevices it may have landed

in on the way down.

Appreciate your thoroughness, constable.

Looks good to me.

- Thanks.
- Hey, how'd she do

with the psychologist?

I don't know yet.

Her door's locked, her phone's off,

and she's just sort of staring at stuff.

Right, pro procedure.

So when's the shooting team get here?

I don't know, but I hope soon.

We don't get Michelle
back until they sign off,

and there's been some new developments.

Oh yeah, did you talk to Metro?

Yeah, they searched Morganstern's room.

There was no sign of
any counterfeit plates

or any illegal doings whatsoever.

Kidding, oh great.

So that means that anonymous tip was crap.

Yeah.

Michelle's gonna want to
eat that guy for breakfast.

We gotta find him, serve
him up on a platter for her.

Yeah, hey, Oz, what's up?

Hey, buddy, I got a line
on some Raptors tickets

for tonight.

I know you're busy, but
they're playing the Lakers.

So it'll probably be a blood bath.

Do you wanna come with me?

You know, I'm gotta get
back to you on that one, okay?

I'll tell you what, I'll
get the tickets anyway

and then if we can't use 'em,

I'll just find a way to get rid of 'em.

Sounds good.

Hey, what gives?

I ordered a sexy nurse
like 20 minutes ago.

What, ooh.

Okay, that was worth the wait.

Hey, guess what?

What?

I heard that Langley
is stepping down as head

of emergency services,

and they're looking
internally for a replacement.

Really, are you gonna
throw your hat in the ring?

Not me, you.

What?

Sandy, I just passed my supervisor's exam.

What are you talking about?

Okay, they're looking for someone

who can bring emergency
services, the paramedics,

and the hospital together.

Oz, you're that guy.

I mean, I have my foot in both worlds,

but I can't do that to Ryder.

After all he is done for me, he'd kill me.

Here's the posting.

They're doing interviews today.

We can still get you in.

This doesn't gimme a lot
of time to prepare, Sandy.

Ah, you're handsome, you're charming,

you're quick on your feet, you'll be fine.

I am charming.

And just think, we'd actually get

to spend a little more time together,

and there's a really nice salary bump.

Wait, you don't know how much I make.

How do you know?

You make more than that?

- Whoa.
- Yeah.

Wow.

- Do me a favor.
- Sure.

Send Officer
Brian over in a second.

Lemme just finish here.

I'll catch up with you.

The lab boys are wrapped up here.

Anything on your end?

Good news and bad news.

Bad news first.

We haven't recovered the gun.

And the good news?

We still have some more ground to cover.

I'm a glass half full kind of guy.

The gun'll turn up.

Glass half full kind of guy.

All right, well, when it does,

be sure to notify me right away.

You'll be my first call.

Please tell me you found the gun.

It's a work in progress.

Where are we with this tipster?

Well, I ran Michelle's phone records.

Her source called from a payphone.

Those still exist?

I don't think I've seen
one of those in years.

You haven't been to
a sketchy coffee shop

in a while, have you?

The call came from a
place called Lucky's Coffee

and Donuts.

I sent a unit, but unfortunately,

there were no usable prints on the phone

and no one saw the caller.

So not all that lucky.

Can I help you?

Staff Sergeant Slater.

This is Staff Sergeant
McCoy, Internal Affairs.

We are here to see Sergeant McCluskey.

Well, she's sequestered.

She's waiting on a shooting team debrief.

The shooting
team won't be coming.

We're taking over the investigation.

Based on what?

That information is strictly
on a need-to-know basis.

Well, I need to know.

We're talking about my
best operative here.

Alvin, I'm Sergeant McCluskey.

Look, if this is about my
unpaid parking tickets,

I'm contesting them all in court.

I'm pretty sure the traffic
officer had a crush on me.

You're under investigation
for the shooting death

of Matt Morganstern.

What, did the shrink say
I didn't ring my hands hard

enough or something?

I hope you can appreciate

how serious this matter is, Sergeant.

Yeah, of course.

Look, I just wanna clear this
up as quickly as possible.

I have other active cases
on the go at the moment.

Your unit is free to continue
it's to work without you

while we conduct our investigation.

We're gonna need your hardware.

You are removed from active duty

until we complete our investigation.

At which point, based on our findings,

you may face criminal charges.

If so, a union lawyer
will be appointed to you.

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

Yeah, I understand.

We've been over this 20 times.

Well, let's make it 21.

I received a tip that
Morganstern had counterfeit money

plates in his possession.

I was given an address
where I could find him,

but told he was about
to go back underground.

And you vetted this tip.

You background-checked your source.

I didn't have time.

Didn't have time for a lot of things,

like arranging a search warrant.

Well, he would've been long gone

before I had a chance to use it.

Okay, take us through what happened

when you arrived at the rooming house.

IIB!

While you were there,

did you see any counterfeit plates?

No, but we didn't have
time to do a thorough search.

Morganstern was on the run.

In your haste, could you have alerted him

to your presence prematurely?

No, we followed proper procedure.

You said that you tracked Morganstern

to another apartment, but
what isn't clearer is how.

How did you know where he was hiding?

He's still in the building.

Intel, I had corporal Clark
examine a building schematic

to look for alternate exits.

The room in question, it had
a balcony with street access.

Continue.

We
entered just as he was exiting

to the fire escape.
- IIB, mam,

which way did he go?

You all right?

You're okay?

Morganstern made it out

onto the street, and we followed.

Where did he go?

He's up there.

Once we were on the roof,

I had my partner take
cover and call for backup

while I continued to look.

Morganstern had backtracked
towards the fire escape,

and he was about to
descend when I spotted him.

IIB, stop right there!

I yelled for him to stop,

and that's when he went for his weapon.

What kind of weapon?

It was a Beretta, I think,
but I didn't get a good look,

And was it in his
right hand or his left?

His right hand.

Morganstern is left-handed.

Well, it all happened very fast.

So you can't say for certain.

Hey, why are they coming
down so hard on Michelle?

I don't know.

It's coming down from on high.

Superintendent Price?

No, he's in our corner.

Someone higher than him even.

I'll poke around upstairs,
see what I can find out.

All right, well, that gun's
gotta be somewhere, right?

The paramedics, they were
there early on the scene.

Maybe one of them saw something.

I can give them a call.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Do that.

All right, I will.

Hey, if we don't find this gun,

I mean, how bad is it
gonna be for Michelle?

It's not gonna be good,

but she has you to back her up, right?

Yeah.

Heat of the moment, your heart's racing,

adrenaline's surging, your
eyes can play tricks on you.

I know what I saw.

He had a gun.

Yet to earlier, you weren't
sure if there was a gun.

"He had a Beretta, I think."

That's not what I said.

That's actually exactly what you said.

Well, that's not what I meant.

Let's move on, shall we?

Tell us about your ex-husband, Adam.

We've reconciled, and I
don't see how this is relevant

to your investigation.

Quite the checkered past, your man.

He made his mistakes.

That's behind him now.

What is the connection here?

Morganstern was a heavy gambler.

Poker, that's your husband's game.

Adam doesn't play anymore.

Well, a source told us that your husband

and Matt Morganstern shared
a high stakes poker table

at the end of last year.

Well, that would be news to me.

Morganstern's rumored
to hold some big markers.

A lot of people owe him a lot of money.

If your husband's one of them--

This is crazy.

You guys have no evidence.

None of this will stand up in court.

I mean, really, this is the best you have?

Actually, sergeant,
we're just getting started.

One of the
paramedics saw a homeless guy

at the scene.

Homeless guy standing
around in a crime scene,

you really think he'd just take a gun?

Well, I hope so, man.

We tried everything else.

Did you even get a flash
that he was still here?

How do you know?

It's just the closest park to the alley.

That's good work, Murdock.

Thanks, Crabtree.

Hey, you think this is the guy?

- Right here?
- Uhuh.

Hey, how are ya?

I'm Toby.

This is my buddy, Oz.

What's your name?

They call me Fisher.

Fisher, all right.

Kinda hoping you could help us out.

We're looking for something
that's gone missing.

Aren't we all, buddy?

I lost kidney sometimes ago,

and I still don't know where to find it.

Well, a kidney's pretty important.

We're actually also looking
for something important.

Yeah, we're looking for
something connected to a crime.

- No, I'm innocent.
- Whoa.

- I'm innocent.
- Okay.

- I'm innocent.
- All right.

Calm down.
- Yep.

Any chance you
were near Foreman Avenue

early this morning?

Yes, I was dumpster diving down there.

Cops saw that.

Heard yelling.
- IIB, stop right there!

Woman's voice.

Right, you hear anything else?

Loud, like bang.

It was gunshot.

But you didn't leave, right?

You stuck around.

You were waiting around, looking around.

So it's free country.

- We're on your side, man.
- I didn't do nothing wrong.

All right, I'm just wondering maybe

if you had picked up a gun.

- No, hell.
- All right.

If I did, I would trade
for bottle of whiskey.

Yeah, right?

I gotta move.

It's really cold so.

All right, get moving.

- Yeah.
- Thank you, keep warm.

Yes.

- He's telling the truth.
- Is he?

Yeah.

I'm just trying to help
Michelle here, you know?

Hey, I get it, man.

She's your partner.

She'd go through a wall for you, right?

Yeah.

We'll find the gun, Toby, okay?

You were there on the roof.

You saw the gun in the guy's hand.

We will find the gun.

I saw a glint.

A glint?

Toby, a glint could be anything,

a wrist watch, bracelet, keys.

Or a gun.

Could be a gun.

You're not sure he had the gun, are you?

Man, if you're not sure he had the gun,

this becomes a whole other thing.

Come on, you think I don't know that?

Superintendent.

We're not talking.

Since when can't friends talk?

Sergeant McCluskey
is under investigation.

I can't make it go away.

She's innocent.

It was a good shooting.

I guess that's what the
investigation will discover then.

Well, it's not that simple.

It should have been an SIU interview.

Someone triggered Internal Affairs on her

before she had a chance
to catch her breath.

Alvin, I don't know who
it is, but between us,

I tried to stop 'em.

IA already had their orders,
and once they opened the file,

they're the only ones who can close it.

What if I can prove her innocence?

Can I count on your support?

You get me proof, we'll
make this disappear,

but if you can't, this
witch hunt is gonna end up

in a burning.

You were trying to take
this man down for how long?

A few years.

Would you say he was an obsession?

Morganstern floated millions of dollars

in counterfeit bills, even
more in credit card fraud.

He was a sleaze, and he
ruined people's lives.

Of course I wanted to take him down,

but there are far worse criminals
out there to obsess over.

He wasn't worth it.

It's interesting that you talk

about the lives ruined by Morganstern.

Is it?

Inspector Leo McCluskey,

he ran the major crimes unit for Metro.

He tussled with Morganstern, didn't he?

He never caught him.

It's a shame what happened
to your father's career,

dishonorably discharged in '96.

You know, some say it was Morganstern

who put the fix on your father
that led to his downfall.

That was a rumor.

Why keep it from us?

I didn't keep it from you.

It isn't relevant.

Everything's relevant, sergeant.

Gives you motive.

This is insane.

I'm a cop.

I am not a criminal.

And that's for us to decide.

I'm sorry, what exactly
is there for you to decide?

Whether this was an act of
self-defense in accordance

with the law or an execution?

Thank you.

Hey, Klein, I got something.

I just spoke to a witness
who was in the alley

around the time of the shooting.

He saw Mitchell's squad
car pull into the alley

before the shot was fired,
no lights, no sirens.

Well, you called for backup, right?

Yeah, seconds before the shot was fired.

There's no way a car gets there that fast.

Could it be a coincidence,
sketchy neighborhood,

unrelated investigation crossing paths?

No, a squad car was in the
alley before Morganstern fell.

I'll get Dev to check
with Metro Dispatch

and see what cars were in the vicinity,

who the first responder was.

Mr. Klein, you have
Corporal Clark report

to the conference room, please?

Of course.

I also would like a
private word with you.

- Hey.
- Hey.

How'd it go in there?

Well, they wanted to know how
I knew Morganstern was still

in the building.

I couldn't exactly tell
them you're a telepath.

No, they shut us down.

Yeah, I said that Dev
was feeding us intel.

They didn't buy it.

That's why they called him in.

Well, he's a smart guy.

He's gonna see the trap
and steer clear of it.

Yeah.

You want a coffee?

Yeah.

So you had no idea
that McCluskey's father

had also investigated Morganstern?

This is the first I've heard of it.

And you didn't examine the case history

before authorizing his
daughter to take over the case?

Michelle's an excellent detective.

I don't check her homework.

I don't have to.

She had an angle, she tracked
him down, I said go for it.

Well, that is an interesting approach

to team leadership and responsibility.

You're trying to imply something.

Why don't you just come out and say it?

That you're not in
control of your officers

or even aware of their motivations?

Excuse me?

Michelle picks up one of
her father's old cases

and now she's crooked?

Do you want character references?

I'll give you dozens from
people you have to respect.

You know, you might find
that you have fewer friends

in high places than you thought

just as soon as the facts come out.

Cup of sugar, a bit of coffee,

just the way you like it.

Thanks.

So how you feeling?

Have we found the gun?

Not yet.

Then I've been better.

It's just a matter of
time before I'm called in.

Is there anything that I should know?

Like what?

How sure are you that he had a gun?

You were there.

You saw it go down.

I have to be sure.

I had to ask.

I've got your back.

Don't doubt that.

He had a gun.

Why didn't you tell me
you had a personal interest

in Morganstern?

I didn't.

Really, because I just
heard he cost your old man

his career.

You're saying you didn't know?

My dad worked hundreds of cases.

Do you want me to flag every
single one that got away?

I just covered for you in
there, and I felt like an idiot.

- Easy, come on.
- Stay out of this.

The appearance of
objectivity, full disclosure,

that never occurred to you?

I'm sorry, Alvin.

I never really picked our
cases based on whether

or not I could cover your
ass, and for the record,

we worked several cases that
you had a personal stake in,

and I never once questioned your judgment.

Sergeant McCluskey put
you on the fast track,

recommended you for
promotions normally reserved

for more experienced officers.

I have skills that more
experienced officers don't.

Hmm, you're referring

to your criminal background in hacking?

I was investigated, never charged.

Even after she learned of
your past, she stood by you,

trusted you, even elevated your career.

If you're in some way saying

that I'm blinded by loyalty,--

How did Morganstern
come to your attention?

He was a person of interest
in a number of fraud cases.

Sergeant McCluskey had been
tracking him since her days

as a regular RCMP.

She needed a tech profile to help narrow

down his location, activity, targets.

But you were unsuccessful.

He stayed one step ahead of
any counterfeiting technology.

He was good.

In order to catch a guy like that,

you gotta get him in the process of making

or moving bogus cash.

How did McCluskey react
to this alleged tip?

She was fired up.

We all were.

She thought after years
of tracking this guy,

she finally had something.

She spent years on this case?

Would you say she was obsessed?

I'd say she was committed.

It's a fine line sometimes, isn't it?

During investigations,
is it common for you

to provide remote technical support?

Absolutely, whatever the team needs.

And in this case,
Sergeant McCluskey claims

that you were providing
schematics on the building

where Morganstern was found.

Yeah, that's correct.

Huh.

Yet, our records show that
the building was built in 1902

and that no schematics exist on record.

Thanks for coming here with me.

Come on, it's what partners do.

You know, after my dad was discharged,

he was never the same.

Losing his career the way he did,

it didn't just destroy him.

It killed him.

That's not gonna happen to you.

Well, we don't have a gun.

Morganstern is somehow connected
to my father and to Adam.

I mean, the IA thinks
I was out to get him.

Well, it feels like
someone's trying to get you.

I should have just
let him get a shot off.

What are you saying?

I mean, you did nothing wrong.

You did what you had to do.

Yeah, well, tell that to Klein.

He knows.

He's just upset that you
held something back from him.

He'll get over it.

Look, I don't wanna talk about it,

but that's not a problem for you, is it?

You know, you can just go into my head.

I'm sure Klein has asked you to, right?

He probably ordered you to.

He didn't, Michelle, all right?

If he did, I would refuse.

You gotta trust me here.

You're doubting yourself.

You're second guessing yourself.

We got your back.

We're gonna get to the
bottom of this witch hunt.

I got a date on the hot seat.

I gotta get back.

Yeah, I'll drive you.

Thanks.

I'm sorry.

No, don't be sorry.

Oz, how'd the interview go?

Lemme tell you something.

I didn't even want this job
in the first place, okay?

Sandy gets me all these ideas,

and then I'm in the interview,

and I'm starting to realize
all the changes I can make,

and then I realize this
is a dream job for me.

That sounds good, brother.

No, that's not good.

You know how I get when I want something.

I'm sweating like a
drug mule on prom night,

I was making just really
inappropriate jokes.

You know I told the
joke about the four nuns

and the holy water?

That is not joke material
for an interview, my friend.

I completely blew it.

I can't imagine it was that bad.

You know what?

At least I don't have to have
that conversation with Ryder

about leaving EMS.

I was not looking forward to that.

Thank you very much.

You did it, you did it.

You got the job.

Toby, I'll call you back.

What are you talking about I got the job?

How do you know?

Okay, I may, I may have
offered Langley's executive

assistant lunch in exchange
for, you know, some information.

I don't understand.

They decided already?

They must interviewing hundreds of people.

This is a hospital, for crying out loud.

Shut up, okay?

The point is they're
putting together an offer.

You did it.

You're gonna be the new
head of emergency services.

I'm the new head of
emergency services.

So this anonymous tip, did
you hear the call personally?

No, I did not hear the call.

Michelle took the call in her office.

How'd she react?

Well, afterwards, she
was excited, you know?

We've been trying to find
this guy for a while.

Hmm, did she tell you that
her father had pursued this man

for several years?

No.

Do you now see her enthusiasm
in a different light?

No.

Just to confirm, you're a consultant?

Yeah.

Can you tell me exactly
what it is that you do?

Yeah, I read facial expressions.

I figure out where people are coming from,

whether they're telling the truth or not.

Do you have any formal training,

any certification for that?

It's a gift.

I was born with it.

It's pretty accurate actually.

We could do a test
right now if you'd like.

I don't think that'll be necessary.

Let's move on.

How would you describe
your working relationship

with Sergeant McCloskey?

Professional, honest, respectful.

It's a true partnership.

Maybe close?

Yeah, but not the way you mean.

Did you see Morganstern's weapon?

I was coming around the
corner when the shot was fired.

So that's a no?

No, I saw something, a glint.

A glint is not a gun, Mr. Logan.

No, it isn't, but it's something,

and I saw the face of a cornered
criminal intent on escape.

Wait, can I ask you a question?

Why are you out to get Michelle?

She's a problem.

It's time she gets dealt with.

We're Internal Affairs, Mr. Logan.

We're not out to get anybody.

The evidence speaks for itself.

What does the evidence say?

Whatever we want it to.

The investigation's ongoing, Mr. Logan.

Until that changes, we're not at liberty

to discuss our findings
with you or anyone else,

for that matter.

Is that true, Ms. McCoy?

No one else knows how this is gonna end?

Look your reaction

to your partner's situation
is Understandable.

It's even admirable
that you put your lives

in each other's hands every
day, but our objective here,

our job, is to get to the
bottom of what really happened.

If you're trying to intimidate us,

Mr. Logan, you won't succeed.

Someone already has.

We're done here.

Thank you.

I know I'm outta line.

Just tell me why they're pushing so hard.

Fair weather friends.

Apparently it's cold outside.

How'd you do?

Did you get anything?

Someone's gotten to McCoy.

They've sent her after Michelle.

This is not an investigation.

It's is a setup.

Hey, you.

This was a nice surprise.

You never call me during the day.

What's up?

I shot and killed someone.

Now I'm under investigation.

You okay?

It was Matt Morganstern.

You didn't tell me you
started gambling again.

It was only three times, Mich, okay?

No high stakes, and he
was at one of the games.

It was nothing.

They think I did it to cover your debt.

Well, that is crazy.

It was one game,

and I came out a couple
hundred bucks ahead, all right?

It's the truth.

I can get you witnesses.

They're just, they're trying
to get at me through you,

through my friends.

They even dug up my dad's history.

All right, you should
not be alone today.

I'm gonna shut down the club.

No, no, it's okay.

Look, it's fine.

Go back to work.

I just, I wanted you to
know what was going on.

Mich, I'm not leaving you
alone today, end of story.

I don't get it.

Why would Internal Affairs
wanna set up Michelle?

They don't.

McCoy's just a pawn for someone else.

Well, whoever's behind this
must have known her connection

to Morganstern.

And set them both up?

Yeah, and his amazing ability to escape,

but they took that option off the table.

Meaning it's him or her.

Either way, discredit the survivor.

Well, I'm starting to get

why no one found Morganstern's weapon.

And why a squad car showed
up to the party uninvited.

Yeah, I checked.

Okay, there was no official
dispatches from that area

before your call for backup.

That squad car had no
business being there.

Well, it's police business.

Maybe they're tracking Morganstern.

What just to grab the gun

that would exonerate a fellow officer.

Doesn't that sound like an
episode of the X-Files to you?

Well, then someone tell
me why Metro's duty officer

hasn't replied to my request
for badge numbers, notes,

scene reports?

Even if there was a
dirty cop on the scene,

what are the odds a guns
gonna end up in the alley?

Or maybe it was a spur
of the moment decision,

little bonus insurance?

One more nail in Michelle's coffin.

Mr. Klein, a moment?

What's the verdicts?

I'm afraid our initial
findings meet the criteria

for Sergeant McCluskey's
immediate relief of active duty.

For how long?

What's the next step?

It's formal charges from Metro Homicide.

Thank you for your cooperation.

We'll be in touch.

Hey, what gives you the right

to destroy a woman's career based

on the actions of her father?

Every bit as stubborn as her old man.

She won't let it go.

We're investigators, Mr. Logan.

We don't create the facts.

We just do our homework.

Really?

Well, you got it wrong this time,

but we both know that's
intentional, don't we?

Mr. Logan, let it go, the door.

Yeah.

Okay, we're now inside Metro's database.

What am I looking for exactly?

We're looking for
photos of the top brass.

Okay, not a problem.

If they're on the force, they
should be in the archive.

We'll go through 'em one by one.

Just say when.

All right.

All right, what's so important
that you couldn't tell me

on the phone?

Thanks for coming in.

All right, so I was right.

McCoy's working for
someone outside the agency,

but it's much bigger than we thought.

IA's supposed to be untouchable.

Who the hell has that kind of reach?

It's Metro Police.

He's high up.

That tracks with getting
someone inside Internal Affairs.

So who is this guy?

You got a name?

Better, take a look.

Walter Heath, the Deputy Chief.

You know this guy?

Yeah, we worked on a judicial committee

together years ago.

His service record is
the stuff of legends.

He's my go-to guy when I need
local cooperation in a hurry.

All right, so he knows us.

He knows Michelle.

And the case against Morganstern.

Interagency briefings
are CCed to his office.

So could this guy put a
below-the-radar police tail

on Morganstern?

Sure, but why?

What's his motive?

Sounds like Morganstern
had quite a knack

for staying one step ahead of the cops.

Just wanna make sure
everything in my apartment

is off the record, right?

Of course, what's said
in the kitchen stays

in the kitchen.

So he spent decades eluding the cops.

He made a fortune off of
identity theft, never busted.

Well, that's the connection to Heath.

He's helping Morganstern out along the way

for a slice of the pie.

No, it's easy to say, hard to prove.

You've been hanging
with a fuzz too much.

You're getting unusually
literally-minded on this.

My friend is looking
at prison time for what,

a bad cop on a power trip?

It means very easy to see things
black and white right now.

I had our archives check
out her dad's dismissal.

- Uh-huh.
- Officially,

the Morganstern case was never mentioned.

Michelle's dad wasn't the
officer in charge on that case.

Guess who was?

Heath, no, you're serious?

So maybe Heath knew
Michelle had Morganstern

in her sights.

Maybe.

So if he's connected

to Morganstern's racket paving the way--

Oh, he sees an elite IIB
unit closing in on him.

Why doesn't he just warn Morganstern?

You know what?

I heard some off-the-books
chatter about Heath

and a potential run at the mayor's office.

Okay, so you're saying,
well, he's maybe trying

to clean up his image, cut
his ties with Morganstern.

So he sets Morganstern up.

He sends him to the place, tells him

to await further orders.

Sends an anonymous tip to
Michelle about his whereabouts.

Mutually-assured self-destruction,

it's a very Heath generation idea.

Right, and just for
insurance, he sends a cop,

who's on his payroll to make
sure there's no loose ends.

Morganstern was gonna be swept

off the board one way or another.

Wow, I love how your mind works.

I have no idea.

I just, it's fun to watch.

I have my moments.

You're telling me.

It's great, very impressive.

I know what you want.

Yeah?

You want this.

Right, I should, yes.

Good call.

Can you put the mushrooms
in the pasta sauce

and stir up the noodles?

A theory is one thing.

No matter how damning it may be,

we still need the evidence to back it up.

All right, so what's next?

How do we go about bringing
down a deputy chief of police?

Same way we usually
get the impossible done.

Confront the one with a guilty mind.

Bingo.

He'll be with you shortly.

Thank you.

So how you doing?

I'm a lawyer, Logan.

I'm used to disappointment
where my colleague's moral fiber

is concerned, present company accepted?

Likewise, but you should be saying this

to Michelle, not me.

Yep, yep, three o'clock, good.

Alvin, good to see you again.

I was sorry to hear about McCluskey.

Yeah, not half as sorry as I am.

Deputy Chief, this is Toby Logan.

He's with the unit.

- Logan.
- How you doing?

- Call me Walt.
- All right, Walt.

This chief
stuff makes me feel old.

Not like Alvin to bring a wing man.

He must like you.

God help you.

Please, boys, take a load off.

- Thank you.
- Coffee?

We're conscious of your time,

and I suspect you know why we're here.

And you know I can't help
you, not with Internal Affairs.

Church and state, we're best separate.

What if we could prove that McCoy

and Slater made their
recommendations based

on something other than the facts?

So file an appeal.

We got a procedure in place for everything

from Shinola to shoelaces.

You know the drill on this crap.

An appeal would take months.

I need McCluskey back on the clock now.

There's still a few
loose ends that we'd like

to tie up in the
Morganstern investigation.

- Such as?
- How he's never been caught.

And why the two cops that
went after him the hardest

both lost their careers.

Now has it ever crossed your mind

that this could be an inside job?

This ends when I say.

You've got more to lose than I do.

Anything's possible.

See, we think that his gun was removed

from the crime scene, but we're
getting static on which one

of your guys was there at the time.

Good call grabbing the gun.

Just make sure it doesn't turn up.

I
don't see that happening.

Of course, I'm a glass half full guy.

I'll look into it, but like I said,

there's nothing I can do.

Well, you can't blame us for trying.

Nope, McCluskey was a great cop.

I hope you manage to clear her name.

Oh, we will.

We're glass half full kind of guys.

You look like you've seen a ghost.

So what, you got a
crush on me or something?

Constable Partack,

you're just the glass half full kind

of guy we were looking for.

Lucky for us you're easier
to find than a missing gun.

So what's IIB want with me?

Well, for starters, you can
tell us why you helped Walter

Heath destroy a senior officer's career.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

All right, well, let's
change the subject.

Let's talk about what's
in the trunk of your car.

The thing that you couldn't find.

- Coffee.
- How about that?

I'm good, thank you.

You think I took the gun?

Why would I do that?

Oh, I don't know, leverage maybe,

against whoever told you to take it.

But now you're left
holding the bag, man.

This is all on you.

What do you want?

Come on, you know what we want.

Here's the thing.

One of you is going down for this.

I really don't care which one that is

so long as my officer's name is cleared.

The ball's in your court.

Our next conversation is
gonna be with Walter Heath.

I'll give you 30 seconds to think it over.

You'll get what I promised,

but not until I'm sure
this thing is buried.

Didn't I tell you?

Cute couple.

Alvin, what the hell is this?

Arrest warrants.

We had a nice little chat
with Constable Partack.

He gave us everything.

I can't believe you
just threw it all away,

and you almost took me with you.

Alvin, you're gonna be
one sorry son of a bitch,

when I'm finished with you.

You have nothing.

Like I said, Partack gave us everything.

It's for you.

It's over, Walter.

Yeah.

Hey, Michelle, it's me.

It's over.

You're in the clear.

Okay, I'm coming in.

All right, see you soon.

Sir?

What is it?

I got you these.

- Raptor tickets.
- Yeah.

- Premium seats.
- Mmhmm.

I'm getting nervous, Mr. Bey.

Just how badly did you mess
up that you felt the need

to get me these?

You know that hospital
administrator's job?

I kind of applied for it and--

Yeah, congratulations.

You were the best man for the job.

Well done.

You know I got it?

Hold on, you're not mad?

Are you kidding me?

Come on, they called me, and
I gave you a glow review.

But I thought you
would've been disappointed.

I mean, after all that time
you spent helping me pass my

supervisor's exam, and then I go

and do something like this, you know?

Change is hard.

Get over it.

Besides, I'm still a young man,

and I'm gonna be here for a few years.

So you have got plenty of
time to usurp my throne.

Well, I'll keep my
usurping skills sharp, sir.

You do that.

Okay.

Oz?

Yes sir.

Against the Lakers, it's
gonna be a blood bath.

You got any plans?

- Count me in, sir.
- All right.

You gotta do a fist.

Do a fist, and then you blow it up.

Just take your ticket.

Thanks, just see you at the game, okay.

- There she is.
- Whoa.

Hey.

Oh nice.

I thought I was dreaming when you called.

I think I still am dreaming.

I owe you an apology.

No, I owe you one.

I should have disclosed my dad's history.

Yeah, you should have.

Your dad was a great cop and so are you.

Yo.

To great cops.

And great consultants.

Oh no, come on, great teams.

Oh, for God's sakes,
let's his drink already.

Sounds good.
