Original subtitles

Jack. Yeah.

Sean. Coming.

Time to go. Come on. Coming, Dad.

Coming. All right.

Where's my left attack?

Right here. All right. And my right attack?

Here. That's what I'm talking about. You guys get your helmets and get your

stuff ready. Mom will take you to practice.

Got it.

Maid's off today, Danny.

Huh?

Dishwasher.

On your fourth?

Something wrong?

Something's got to be wrong because I don't want to be your personal servant.

Well, I don't know. You've just been giving me the stink eye since I rolled

of bed.

Yeah, at noon.

Is that what this is about?

Hello? I worked a midnight tour.

That's why I asked you to mow the lawn and take care of the leaves yesterday.

I didn't mow the lawn.

I'll get it.

Get out of here. I'll get it.

It's been a real pleasure.

There's a suggestion box around the corner, detective.

I don't know how you can stand it around here.

Well, it's the little things. You know, the deluxe accommodations, first class

travel. Right.

What's going on? One of your lackeys tossed my case.

That was my call.

Your call?

Yeah, you have one witness who's got a rap sheet longer than the purse. Well,

I'm sorry his eminence, the Archbishop, didn't just happen to be standing in an

alley on 125th Street the night my victim was mugged. Danny, we cannot

money on cases we know we're not going to win.

You think you can't win. You don't know you can't win.

No, I do, which is why they went to the trouble of painting my name on the door.

If you guys aren't going to prosecute these people, we might as well just

them in the street.

What's this?

Oh, you don't want this stuff?

You know, I thought it had some sentimental value to you, and that's why

left it in the car that I'm driving today. I thought Rubino grabbed them.

did you think Rubino filled the gas tank, too?

You know what happens if my partner and I are chasing down some mutt and he

squirts because the tank is empty?

I'll fill it up now. No, you'll fill it up at the end of your tour, the way

you're supposed to, the same way every other detective around here does. You

it?

Everything okay, Brady? Everything's fine, sir. Just peachy keen.

Kelsey and I are just going over ways to make things more efficient around here,

right?

Right. Come on, Reagan. We just got off our tour.

Just want to have a clean car.

Enjoy your tour?

Yeah, it'll be a good one.

He tried to kill me.

Hold on, hold on. The weapon was a cantaloupe? Yeah, down from that window.

Nearly hit me in the head.

Could have given me a concussion.

Oh, and you decided to throw it back up? Yeah, and these masks, the window glass

was flying everywhere.

Look! All right, here's what we're going to do. We're going to go find someone

who's an actual criminal. Maybe someone with a honeydew, okay? Hey!

This was attempted murder.

And that is assault on a police officer.

How would you like it if I arrest you, ma 'am? Hey, why don't you do your job,

huh? What are we paying you for? Well, you're paying me to deal with fruitcakes

like you. Oh, really? Fruitcake with him? Fruit.

Are you going to let him talk to me this way? No, shut up. Be a man.

I'm going to arrest you, okay?

It's fine if you earn my pay. I'm going to earn it right now.

No,

come on now.

I'm going to arrest you.

Step aside. Step aside.

Where are you going?

The guy chased me. He's got a gun.

Move away. Get back.

Drop the weapon.

Believe. I said drop your weapon.

Come back.

We have one perp down. We have a 10 -85.

Still breathing. Get a butt.

We need an ambulance in the corner of 18th and McDonald.

Jackie.

Look out.

We have a 10 -13.

We have an officer down.

How bad?

I'm not going to lose you! Jackie!

Go faster!

Hey, hey, hey, hey. You keep your eyes open. Do not close your eyes on me, damn

it!

Hey,

let's go.

Come on.

Who's the doctor here?

We've got two rounds to check.

Nine millimeter. About 12 minutes to go. You hear me? Come on. We got him. Hurry

up. We got him. Help him. Help him.

There

you

go.

Any news?

They had to remove part of his lung, Jack.

He's got internal bleeding and concussion from falling down the steps.

It's Tedesco's wife.

I heard her talking to the doctor.

Look at me.

Danny, it was a good shoot.

There's nothing good about this, Jackie.

He did not identify himself as a police officer.

You did what you were supposed to do. We did what we were trained to do. You

didn't fire.

Because the cantaloupe people were in my way. But you know what? If they

weren't, I'd be in the exact same boat as you.

Don't do this to yourself.

Detectives Reagan, Curitola, Captain Derek Elwood.

I'll be the shooting team leader on this. Are you two holding up?

Fine, sir.

Yeah.

As you know, Detective Reagan, I'm going to need to ask you some questions. But

before I do, I need to advise you that you're entitled to have your union

representative and counsel present if you wish to do so.

Danny. It's all right.

I got nothing to hide.

I don't know.

And you're certain that he never identified himself as a police officer?

And how sure?

He never said he was a cop.

Did he say anything?

I don't think so.

You don't think so?

There was a train coming in overhead. It was noisy.

I don't think so.

Okay.

Why don't you go back to your squad, Detective?

Fill out your firearms discharge report, and we'll be in touch.

Officer Tedesco's still in surgery.

I'm afraid he's critical, Frank.

His wife and son are here, and we're doing everything we can to make him

comfortable. I'd like a moment with her when she's up to it.

Of course. I read Tedesco's file. He's a good cop.

Danny's okay.

As you were.

Ed, did we know why Officer Tedesco was in pursuit?

No, he was off duty. We're checking, but it doesn't appear that he made any 911

calls. We do know that he lives in the vicinity.

Possibly he came upon a crime in progress.

That's no not guess. What about the male white he was chasing?

Nothing yet, sir.

We need to find him, Ed.

Commissioner, Commissioner, is it true this was a friendly fire incident?

We're still in the information gathering phase of this investigation, so we

won't be discussing details until we have all the facts. A blogger is

that your son was the detective who fired the shots, Commissioner.

Can you confirm that? Okay, people, how many times do we have an officer down?

As much as we'd appreciate your understanding and compassion in this

circumstance, I realize that is an unrealistic hope. Okay, Jane, Matt, you

what? Why don't you come this way? Let me share what details I can offer.

Danny. What are you doing here? Of course I'm here.

Who's with the kids?

Aaron and Nikki. They're fine. They sound asleep.

How are you?

I'm all right.

I'm all right. I'm not so sure about that. I'm fine.

It's fine. And everything's going to be fine. Okay?

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, me too.

Danny.

How many times do you have to hear?

And Officer Dow, as much as we'd appreciate your understanding and

this delicate circumstance, I realize that is an unrealistic hope.

And while the commissioner will not give details on the shooting, there is one

eyewitness, Ms. Angela Jackson, and she described Detective Reagan as being

angry and agitated immediately before the incident.

Angela, can you please tell us what happened?

Yeah. He was out of control.

He was screaming at me for no reason, and then he was even screaming at his

partner, and then the next thing I know, He turns around and he shoots the guy.

I'm telling you, he was out of control.

It appears that witness Angela Jackson has an axe to grind with Detective

Reagan. It would be nice if one of the hundred reporters she gave her exclusive

to did some actual reporting and dug that up.

Other witnesses on the street also described Detective Reagan as...

being agitated.

People who don't have an axe to grind with Detective Reagan?

Yes, but this investigation is far from complete. I mean, there's precedence for

waiting to hear. We're not going to look for reasons not to go by the book here.

Is that clear?

Yes, sir. You will conduct a complete, thorough, and impartial investigation.

Thank you.

Yes, sir.

You know, you're the worst client I've ever had. Thank you.

You pop off at the hospital.

The press is salivating, Frank.

When do they not? I'm just saying it wouldn't hurt if you told the media what

you just told Cat Millwood. Wouldn't hurt. You might kill me. Here we go.

we go what, Garrett?

Here you go making our jobs ten times more difficult than they have to be.

You're making the right call.

The press would lap it up. Just let them. No, I will not just let them. Why

hell not? Because I don't like pandering on my best day.

He's my son, Garrett.

I don't teach this stuff at the academy.

You could recuse yourself.

You're gonna have to do something, Frank.

I have a credible report that a member of my department was, quote, out of

control just before he shot a fellow officer.

I know damn well what I have to do.

Jack. Hey. Yeah. Here, we'll load up the surveillance video from the subway

platform. Hey, anything?

Oh, yeah. Come on.

Take a look.

Oh, what do you know? That's our guy. Oh, yeah. They're distributing a screen

grab of this kid's mug citywide. We find him, we find out what Tedesco was

doing. There's no train that's taken. No, they probably came up from the

ran up one staircase and down the other one.

Yeah. That's Tedesco.

You all right?

Yeah.

Look, you see that?

Yeah.

Look.

A gun.

What, is he strapped?

Oh, we saw him.

Watch.

He asked who was looking for it as we speak.

Go help him.

Come on, Sarge, we just got our first break.

Can it wait? No, it can't wait.

Okay.

What is it?

You're being put on modified assignment.

Word just came down from the commissioner's office.

Some house mouse.

You can't leave that desk.

And you know what else?

I'll keep them warm for you, detective.

You did what you had to do.

You got nothing to feel guilty about.

What makes you think I feel guilty?

Because you got a hero in that bag from Ziggy's with my name on it.

No shield and still one of my best detectives.

How's Tedesco?

He's still unconscious.

How are you?

We can't really talk about it, can we?

No, we can't.

You ever wonder why I never ask you to go fishing?

You got the attention span of a gnat.

Remember that summer Uncle Jim offered me a job as a telemarketer in Jersey?

I am still amazed you were able to resist the allure of hustling aluminum

siding. Yeah.

That took guts.

That was the same summer you told me you were going to take the cop test.

Remember what I said?

Never buy aluminum siding from a company with no fixed address.

The other thing I said.

New York's fine has just got a little better.

That's as true today as it was then.

I don't know that.

I do.

So would you say Detective Reagan was feeling angry?

No, I would not say that.

I have no earthly idea how he was feeling.

Erin. We're not arguing in front of a jury. There's no need for you to view me

as the enemy.

Really, Derek?

Well, it's nice to know that this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Don't forget that I am usually the one asking the questions.

Okay. Let's go to it, then.

Did Detective Reagan say anything to make you question his performance as a

York City police detective?

Absolutely not.

Are you sure he never said, uh...

If you guys won't prosecute him, maybe we should just shoot him in the street.

Come on. He was frustrated.

We had just tossed his case. He was just blowing off steam.

Oh, so you could tell he was feeling angry.

We're right there, okay?

You do more modified than most of my guys do full duty. I'm sorry. The desk

wasn't fixing that guy for nothing.

This is through these print reports looking for any width of activity within

half mile of the incident. And?

So far, I got an anonymous 911 caller reported a woman screaming 10 blocks

the L with.

Tedesco ran into us 18 minutes earlier.

Responding officer reported nobody was there.

Closed it out. 10 -98.

Okay, well, why was nobody there, Sarge? I mean, somebody was screaming, right?

What, did she disappear?

Don't you remember Patrol Reagan? We used to get 10 of these a tour.

It's probably some lady screaming because she saw a spider in the sink.

The lab came back on a gun your guy tossed.

No prints of value.

Great. But there was blood on it.

They're running it now, along with ballistics.

That's beautiful.

You hear that, Jack? Look,

this woman was giving us a hard time. Danny gave her a hard time right back.

That's how it goes on the job. You know that.

But what doesn't happen every day, two partners getting into it in the middle

the street.

Danny and I have a unique dynamic.

If what you're telling me is that you and your partner routinely scream at

other, maybe it's time one of you get reassigned.

That's not what I'm saying.

Then say what you're saying.

I think the issue here is whether or not Officer Tedesco identified himself as a

police officer, and I am telling you, he did not.

How can you be sure? Because I was there.

And you were there.

He was screaming at Detective Reagan and he was screaming at you and Mrs.

Jackson and all this is going on while a man is running down the stairs yelling

that another man with a gun is trying to kill him. I don't think it's a stretch

that we consider the possibility that maybe while all this was going on, maybe

Officer Tedesco did identify himself and maybe, just maybe, Detective Reagan was

not in the mood to listen.

Kat, don't do this.

We're not through yet, Detective.

Don't do this.

I'm doing my job.

Did Detective Reagan do his?

We were at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Danny did the right thing.

Hey, you're still here. Good.

Danny, this guy from IA... Don't worry about him.

Okay? I'm not worried about him.

You wouldn't worry about someone.

Let's worry about officers at the desk, okay? Let's worry about finding the guy

that he was chasing. Now, a 911 caller said a woman was screaming at this

address. Can you go find out why?

I don't know anything about that. I didn't hear anything.

Well, a 911 caller said there were screams coming from your house.

Maybe with the TV.

Are you sure, Mrs. Lee?

This is really very important.

Somebody made a mistake.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, you know what? My phone went dead.

I really need to call in to close this out. Do you mind if I use your phone?

I don't... Please, just take a second. My boss is going to kill me if I don't

finish this.

Thank you.

Please hurry.

I'm late for an appointment.

Yeah, just take one second.

I'm in Miss Lee's living room.

Yeah, my cell died.

You running the game?

Okay, I'll hold.

So, what were you watching last night?

A movie or one of those talk guys?

I don't remember.

Well, it's one of those talk guys and wouldn't be any screaming going on

it's some... Oh, wow.

That's a great photo.

Huh? What's in the photo with you?

Oh, that's...

My son.

Is that also your son?

Danny, we're coming in.

Yeah, get her in. Get her in.

He used to be a good boy.

He was going to go to college.

He was going to study hotel administration.

Your son's not reading too good from where we're sitting, Mrs. Lee.

Yesterday he did something that got a police officer shot, and that police

officer's in critical condition now.

It's the drugs.

He's not my Tyler anymore.

I don't know who he is.

So he was at your house last night.

So you were the one screaming.

When he runs out of money for drugs for him and his girlfriend, he comes to see

me. It takes money, whatever I have that he can sell.

It used to happen every now and then, and now it's all the time.

So your son gained the robbery yesterday?

I told him I wasn't going to give him another red cent.

And then he pulled out a gun.

On me.

His own mother.

And that's why he screamed?

I ran out of the house. I told him to shoot me.

I begged him.

To put me out of my misery.

And I looked in his eyes.

And there was nothing there.

I think he was going to do it.

And then that man came over.

You mean this man?

Go ahead, look out.

I didn't know he was a police officer.

He must have seen us fighting.

He came over and told Tyler to get his hands off me, and Tyler ran.

And that man ran after him.

Why didn't you call the police?

He's my son.

So... How was he when he left here yesterday?

He was normal.

Normal.

We're hearing that he was unusually tense yesterday, and we're just

when that started.

Danny is an intense guy.

He loves the job, and that's where he puts his energy.

He puts me and the boys.

Right.

So yesterday, there was nothing unusual.

Well, he left his dish on the counter. That's plenty usual.

And then what happened?

Then he went to work.

Okay.

I see.

Well, thank you very much for your hospitality.

It's much appreciated.

I'm just curious, how did that vase get broken?

I saw that face.

I told him it was an accident, but I don't know.

I think he got the wrong idea. You did the right thing, Linda.

The right thing.

I didn't even know what that is anymore.

You know, I'm sorry, but the years that you've given this department, the

sacrifices that you've made, the toll that it's taken on us and the kids, this

is the things we get in railroaded by some guy.

Baby, he's IA.

Okay, that's what they do.

Not right.

Someone could damn well tell him so.

Someone.

Would it be the end of the world if he stepped in?

It may not make a lot of sense.

And it may hurt like hell to hear it.

I know.

You're up. Well, I was going to leave a message, but... What do you got?

Well, the blood came back on Tyler Lee's gun.

It's Officer Tedesco's.

Tedesco? How could that be?

But wait, it gets better. Ballistic smashes the gun to a liquor store holdup

last week. Robber shot and killed the owner. Looks like our Tyler Lee is a

murderer.

Where are you?

Home.

Danny. Look, don't freak out, all right?

I'm sitting on Mrs. Lee's house.

Are you out of your mind? I said don't freak out.

Well, it's too late, Danny.

Seriously? You're modified.

If they catch you out there, you're going to be suspended or worse.

I know, I know, but I was thinking, if Tyler didn't get the money last time he

was going home, he was probably going to come back. And when he does, he's going

to find an old friend waiting for him. No, he's not. You need to get out of

there now.

Come on, Jack. Five more minutes. Danny.

Okay, fine. Listen.

Starting my car.

Hear that? Okay, and now I'm driving away.

All right, I'll call you tomorrow.

Sir, step out the car.

Look, it's okay, guys. I'm on a job. We got a call about a suspicious car in the

neighborhood. Can we see your shield?

I don't have it.

Tom Julian from the 2 -9 call.

Two of his people picked up Danny out on the street.

He was working.

What did you tell Tom to do?

His job.

Can you pass the corn, please?

Do I have to eat this?

Yes.

Grandpa, are you going to fire my dad?

Sean.

I'm sorry, Frank.

No, I'm not.

I think it's wrong to punish Danny for doing his job.

I mean, I get it. Uncle Danny shouldn't have been out on the street, but his

intentions were good.

Cop to cop, Dad. I think Danny's in a little leeway here.

Francis, in my day, we probably turned the other way too often when it came to

one of our own. But sometimes it was the right thing to do.

Being held to the same standard as everyone else is one thing, but it does

like Danny's being held to a higher one.

You're down straight, he is.

When I coached you in softball or you boys in hoops, I always held you to a

higher standard because you're capable of meeting it, and because you are, I

expect it.

Danny, I don't think there's a cop at this table.

Not your grandpa, not me, not Jamie, who wouldn't have made the same decision

you did in that split second.

But he worked the street without a shield.

And it can't matter why.

And it shouldn't matter that he's my son.

He's right.

Dad's right.

Orders are orders in every complex.

I was out of line.

I raised your father the way he raised all of you.

To know the difference between right and wrong.

Never thought I'd be almost sorry I did.

What's bothering you?

Nothing.

Hey, don't think I still can't sweat a guy.

I made this robbery caller.

Took this guy out with my ass. We never saw it coming.

What's going on?

Renzuli wasn't too happy about it.

Because I didn't draw my weapon.

This perp was armed?

No.

But, well, we thought he might have been.

Turns out it was just his hand in his pocket.

Well, then you're lucky you were riding with Renzuli and not me. I would have

knocked your teeth in.

The guy wasn't armed.

Why did you hesitate?

Come on, Jamie.

What if I hesitated to draw for the wrong reason?

Two cops, two Reagan cops involved in a shooting in the same week?

You're thinking like a lawyer.

Look, you're coming into your own as a cop.

You're improvising, that's good.

But when you're out on the job, you can't be thinking about what your

did or who your father is. You do your job.

Understand? Yes, Grandpa.

Like they used to tell us at the academy, better you should have to

the DA why you shot a guy than have someone have to explain to your family

you didn't.

Grandpa's right, son.

Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

We're most proud of you when you come home safe.

I picked up your steak out where you left off. Seems like Tyler did go back

mopping again.

You got him?

No. He sent a messenger. He better have.

Meet Lydia Pepper, Tyler's girlfriend.

How many times do you need to hear it?

I don't know where Tyler is. You do know where he is because he sent you to his

mother's house to go pick up clothes.

This boyfriend of yours, he must be some charmer, huh?

He pulls a gun on his own mother, and then he sends his little girlfriend in

fight his own battle?

And you're still sitting here, protecting him? Look, I told you, he

around. When he wants me, he finds me. Come on, Lydia.

We could tell you've been getting high so long that you're numb to the outside

world. But I also think that deep down, there's still someone else who needs to

do the right thing.

There is a police officer on life support right now because of what Tyler

His name is Lou Tedesco.

He's got a wife and a little boy and a baby on the way. Hey, look at this

picture. Look at the picture.

Look at the picture!

There's no running away from that one, you understand me? You could smoke every

rock in this city, but you will not get this one off of your conscience.

It's all her fault.

What?

She just did what Tyler said. None of this would have happened.

Wait a minute. Who are we talking about here, Lydia?

Tyler's mother, Mrs. Lee.

Why didn't she just give us the money?

So you were there.

Across the street.

What happened?

She and Tyler were on the stoop, yelling at each other.

She wouldn't give him anything.

Tyler was losing it. He started... grabbing her and suddenly this guy steps

and tries to break it up this guy officer tedesco he grabbed tyler and

put him up against the wall that's when mrs lee grabbed tyler's gun and whacked

him over the head then tyler and the guy took off running mrs lee grabbed a gun

and and and whacked officer tedesco in the head yeah hard when he

ran off he was stumbling like he was drunk

I'm gonna go make a call.

Detective Reagan's mental state at the time of the shooting appears to have

a negative factor in his decision -making.

But I have received some new information this morning that will shed light on

the circumstances of the shooting.

Please enlighten us. Officer Tedesco was struck in the head with the suspect's

gun at the start of the incident. Now, that would account for the head trauma

that had been attributed to his fall down the stairs after he was shot. He

received that blow before the foot chase.

His doctors are surprised he was able to walk, let alone identify himself as a

police officer, which supports Detective Reagan's testimony. And does any of

that excuse Detective Reagan's violation of his modified status?

All due respect, sir, that's not my call.

No, Captain.

It's mine.

We had a team on Tyler Lee's girlfriend all night. He never showed.

Now Kira told us, tailing her, thinking she may be headed for a meet.

She could use some backup.

Why are you telling me, Sarge?

Don't you see I'm busy sharpening pencils?

Oh. Did I forget to mention?

You've been restored to full duty.

Congratulations.

I heard you need a little backup.

Oh.

Look who got out of the penalty box again.

Yep. Except now it's official.

I kind of liked you in the office, you know.

Oh, you like my coffee, huh? Yes, exactly.

Always nice and hot.

Do you think she made it?

No.

No sense taking any chances, though. Give her a little space.

Is she texting again?

Do you think she's trying to get in contact with Tyler? Yeah, the first ten

times I thought so, but...

Now do you think he's got more friends than me?

There he is.

Oh.

Grab her.

I'm on him. Yeah.

Hey!

Get out of the way!

Hold on!

Still looking for the police dirtbag?

Huh? Guess what? I'm right here.

So the doctors said they'd never seen a patient fight their way back

the way you did.

And I said, what do you expect?

He comes out of the 6 '5". You're old house.

I see they taught you the job the same way they taught me.

No retreat.

No surrender.

Get well.

Get back on the street. Do us proud.

Yes, sir.

I see you have another visitor.

I'm not a great shot
