- Christ, Jimmy, it's been weeks.

[sighing]

When you first asked me to join SIU

I thought it was a joke.

[chuckling]

I did.

Jimmy Blue.

The Jimmy Blue wants a beat cop.

[chuckling]

For his new unit.

You know I'd been passed over for detective four times?

Of course you knew that.

[solemn music]

Of course you knew that, mmm-hmm. [chuckling]

Come on, Jimmy.

- When I stumbled into an SIU case,

I just knew.

SIU.

Mmm.

But I tell you, Jimmy, when I got that call from SIU

I couldn't believe it, man.

I just knew I was coasting.

I mean, what we see, what we do.

It was like nothing I've ever known.

[solemn music]

[muffled speaking]

- Jimmy, I'd like you to open your eyes now.

[solemn music]

Tess is good.

Tess, Tarik and I, we're holding down SIU

until you get back.

We've had some cases.

I'll spare you the details.

Tess is a machine.

No stone left unturned.

Tarik's a good man.

Probably even a better cop.

You're rubbing off on him.

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Say YOLO, please.

- [Man] Hello?

[emotional music]

- Oh, Jimmy.

I'm not to be trusted.

[tense music]

[muffled talking]

- Who the fuck are you?

- Fuck, I'm the mother fucker with the gun.

Is that your coke?

Get the fuck outta here!

Get the fuck outta here!

[door slamming]

[sighing]

- And I'm trying to hold it together, but I...

I feel myself coming apart.

You said you'd never leave me.

You promised me.

- I'm ready, Ez.

Rez, and it's like.

I just need a little bump, I'll be good.

Where's my?

- [Jimmy] Get up, get up.

- Where's Tina?

- You don't need a bump, come on, you're okay.

Let's get you covered up, all right?

- [Yolanda] Wait, no I need them.

- Oh, no, no, no.

You don't need that.

- [Yolanda] I need that.

- [Jimmy] You definitely don't need that.

You need this--

- [Yolanda] Oh!

- [Jimmy] Don't need any more of that.

We don't need any more of that.

Jesus Christ, I'm so sorry.

- [Yolanda] Hi.

- I should have been here sooner.

I should have been here.

- Hi.

But you made it.

- [Jimmy] Hi, okay.

I'm sorry.

- Why are you sorry?

- I should have been in here sooner.

I'm so sorry.

Fuck.

I'm sorry.

- Hi.

Why are you sorry?

- Oh my God, it's just been a really rough week.

- Yeah.

- Oh, hey, hey.

Sit up, sit up, and I'm gonna quick

get you to the hospital.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey.

- Hi.

- Hey, hey, we gotta get you cleaned up, okay?

Come on.

- [Yolanda] I'm not going to hospital.

- [Jimmy] What?

- I'm not going to a hospital,

I'm going to a hospital.

You don't care about me.

- Of course I do.

Of course I do, okay?

Okay?

Okay?

Hey, hey, hey.

- [Yolanda] So tired.

- Hey, Jesus.

- I'm so tired, Jimmy.

- Okay, sweetheart, no.

No, please.

No, no.

- [Yolanda] I need coke.

- Jesus Christ.

- I know you're here, but you're not here

and you left.

I have no right to ask this,

but I need you to open your eyes.

For me.

I need your strength, Jimmy.

I'm not strong enough to do this.

[sighing]

And someone is gonna notice

and they're gonna wanna now why.

Why I'm the head of SIU.

- When I first met you I was in love.

I'm serious.

Do you remember what you said?

Neither do I.

I was kind of hoping you'd say something.

It was something like, are you half as good as your reports?

And I said, yeah.

Better.

To which you said, "We're starting a team

"and you're on it."

It's the trust.

It's the tea.

Bonding over the tea.

It's the work.

[police radio chatter in background]

[sniffing]

- This wouldn't happen to be--

- Sometimes you just gotta relax.

- [Jimmy] What do ya got right now?

- I had to do some very unwomanly things

to get those records back so quickly.

- [Jimmy] Ooh, well have some tea.

What did you find?

- Jesse's records are clean.

But Jesse needed the money and he felt like

it was his duty to protect the kid.

- [Jimmy] Did he ever file a complaint?

- It looks like he filed several, but I know.

- 'Cause he's the mayor and the mayor bought him quietly.

- Exactly.

Kind of sucks.

- And the money?

- Nothing yet, but I'll let you know if we find anything.

- All right, well see what you can find

on the mayor and the DO.

- What are you thinkin'?

- Well, just a little landscaping.

- You got it, boss.

- Keep me posted.

- Will do.

- You know my dad and I, we talk about you.

I know he respects you.

Tell you one day, Jimmy, you've got to meet my dad soon.

But he also thinks that you're a [mumbling].

Mr. Carpenter?

SIU.

Detective Tarik.

I got a couple questions for you.

- What the fuck do you want, man?

- Let's ah, let's try this again, huh?

NYPD, Special Investigation Unit.

- Yeah, I heard you the first time.

Just because you're a cop doesn't mean

I gotta kiss your ass.

- Think you need to calm down, young man.

Plus you got a little somethin' on your breath.

- Well, I can take your fuckin' badge, though, huh?

[grunting]

[banging]

- You're comin' in with me.

- Come on, man.

Yolanda and Tess. [chuckling]

They holdin' it down, man.

They holdin' it down.

I mean, Yolanda is a strong woman.

I'm startin' to think that she's a little bit

stronger than you.

Hmm.

Oh, and that Tess.

Oh my gosh, man, Tess is a rock.

Tell me why I'm seeing more of you inside of her, man.

[scoffing]

I just need you to teach me the ways of you, Jimmy.

Mmm.

You were right about that pizza, though.

[chuckling]

Jimmy, was this it?

Was this what you warned me about?

[traffic roaring]

You wanted to see me?

[traffic roaring] [muffled talking]

- Sometimes the only way out is through it.

[traffic roaring] [muffled talking]

Bad things happen for a reason.

Sometimes something so simple suddenly isn't.

You find yourself in a place where it doesn't matter.

[traffic roaring] [muffled talking]

It doesn't matter if it was good or bad.

All that matters is the now.

[traffic roaring] [muffled talking]

It don't matter if you fight, but you do.

But at least come and do it.

Sooner or later there is gonna be a reckoning.

- Well, I'm with you.

Jimmy, we're all with you.

[traffic roaring]

Jimmy, it's comin'.

Jim, I need you to get up, man.

Jimmy, it feels wrong, man.

Jimmy, it feels like I'm playin' a part

and sooner or later people is gonna notice.

[solemn music]

It's gonna happen.

- For someone who is always picked last in gym class,

to be picked first is like swoon.

I'm fallin' apart, Jimmy.

Sooner or later everyone's gonna realize

I'm faking it until you come back.

Can you move your hand?

Just asking.

- If you're left with me, you'll be fine.

[solemn music]

This is emotional, Jimmy.

I asked you to leave, and what did you say?

This city had given you nothing.

Nothing.

Do you remember what you said?

You know, since I moved here,

I never left the city.

But lately I've been thinking about getting away.

- Where would you go?

- Oh, I want us to start over somewhere else.

A fresh beginning, I don't know.

I just.

- Gloria.

I don't know what to say.

I, babe, my life is here.

- Jimmy.

That day I went... [phone buzzing]

When I went to your place I wanted to talk.

I wanted to talk to you.

[phone buzzing]

- I'll wait.

- Pick the phone, please.

Pick up the phone. [phone buzzing]

- I have to go inside, okay?

I have to go upstairs.

Gloria, please look at me.

I'll call you.

All right, we need to talk, okay?

Gloria, please, I'll call you later.

[kiss smacking]

I'm sorry.

I'll call you.

[solemn music]

- You didn't want to come with me, so you did this.

And then I stay.

Well, it worked.

I love you, papi-pa.

Maybe if we can get our shit together.

I love you.

But I can't wait for you anymore.

I can't.

What if, what if you?

What if you fight?

What if you wake up right now and fight for your life?

[solemn music]

- We're on the case.

We just don't have a lot to go on.

But let me give you the run down.

You were shot more than once

and now you're in a coma.

- All right.

Okay.

Let's run it again.

- Yeah.

So Jimmy walked out here and we know it because--

- We have two witnesses.

- They saw a man that fit Jimmy's description

walking down here.

- Followed by three guys.

- Shouting, gunshots.

- They call 911.

- Clean.

- Clean.

- Yeah.

- What were you doing down that alleyway?

[suspenseful music]

It doesn't make any sense, Jimmy.

What? Why?

Why would you go down there?

- Jimmy, what made you go down there?

[suspenseful music] [muffled speaking]

- Back up.

You have a partner.

Yeah, that's more than one person.

- Makes no sense.

Why?

Why would you?

Who were you following?

Who followed you?

God, Jimmy tell me who was out there.

Okay.

Now what about Hans?

Is he saying anything?

- No, I stopped by there, but that's Jimmy's relationship.

He said he was gonna handle it.

But I talked to my old man.

He says men like Jimmy have enemies so long

that they start lookin' like friends.

- You think he knew who did this?

So what we know.

We know you knew the...

We think you knew the person.

People.

[suspenseful music]

- It's like whatever leads that we had

aren't even there.

I just, I can't explain it.

- Jimmy, I...

Jimmy, I've never seen a more dead end trail than your case.

- I met someone.

He's nice.

You'd hate 'em.

He's a prosecutor.

We met in a bar.

But then...

Well, and I went to subpoena the records

of the two witnesses of your shooting,

there he was.

And he helped.

[solemn music]

It's a work in progress.

I think I'm just tired of judging my life

by the pain I feel.

I just wanna

try to feel something different.

So what do we know?

[suspenseful music]

We know you went down an alley by yourself

without your backup.

We know that.

Not sure why you have a partner.

You don't call your partner.

No, you didn't.

- Yeah, what was it?

Were you mugged?

Jimmy, is it that simple?

- This is not for Papi.

You need to wake up and tell who did this.

For me.

[suspenseful music]

- I mean, we're talkin' about Jimmy here.

You mean to tell me he couldn't get one shot off?

Not one?

- None of the local hospitals have anyone

matching the description of--

- The muggers.

- Assassins.

- We're talkin' about three tall black men, average size.

From head to toe no piercings, no earrings,

no tattoos, no nothin'.

Dressed in all black.

What?

- Where were you the night of the 21st?

- Don't start with me.

I was with my old man watchin' reruns.

[laughing]

- Reruns, huh?

- [Tarik] Yes.

- Oh, no lady in your life.

- No, but that's not due to a lack of missing anything.

And I mean nothing.

- Oh, relax, it'll happen.

- Isn't she optimistic.

[laughing]

I did have a conversation with Jimmy, though.

I felt like he was trying to warn me or somethin'.

He said something big was about to happen.

You think this was it?

- You think he knew he was in trouble.

- Have you seen him?

Yeah.

Yeah.

- Let's run it again.

I'm gonna take the back room.

- All right.

[suspenseful music]

- Okay.

You'll always be mine.

- I promise I will not let you down, Jimmy.

I'll leave it just the way you left it.

It'll be ready for you when you come back.

- I got nothin', Jimmy.

I have no tests.

I have no DNA samples.

I have no bullets.

Except for the ones they pulled out of you

and those don't even match anything.

I promise you, Jimmy.

I won't stop looking.

- I promise you I'm gonna close this case, Jimmy.

I promise.

[sighing]

- [Woman] I know who shot Jimmy.

[dramatic music]

- And you are?

- Internal affairs.

Here to talk.

[dramatic music]

[scoffing]

- Thank you.

- We haven't met or been formally introduced.

- No, but I know who you are.

- I'm sorry about your partner.

- Are you?

- All right, fine.

No small talk.

Are you aware that Jimmy and his former partner

Darius Thompson were/are under investigation?

- Yes.

For [mumbles], yes.

- I respect Jimmy.

He's a good cop.

Or he was.

- Is.

- Shit, maybe he still is.

I don't know.

But he is guilty.

[scoffing]

- Go to hell.

- Wait, here me out, please.

[dramatic music]

Look, I'm here off the record,

and if I'm wrong, which I'm not,

then we're back where we started.

But right now there are bigger fish out there.

It's all connected.

Jimmy's assassination,

the warehouse theft,

the Albanians.

It all circles in on itself.

[dramatic music]

- Okay.

- This is just a you and me thing.

All right?

- No.

This is an SIU thing.

[dramatic music]

Let's talk tomorrow.

- My place.

- Tess's.

- Fine.

- Fine.

[car horns honking]

[dramatic music]

Thoughts?

[sighing]

- I think that there was no proof

that Jimmy and Darius did anything.

- That's true.

They covered their tracks very well.

- Maybe you should stop assuming that they're guilty.

- They are.

You don't have to like it.

Here's what scares me.

Everywhere Robert and I turn, we're hitting roadblocks.

As if slowly all the links between Darius and Jimmy

and the Albanian organization are disappearing.

- Hold on.

Are you saying what I think you're saying?

- She's saying she's thinking a dirty cop.

What a surprise for an IA officer to think that.

- It makes sense.

And that's why we're here.

That's why this stays here.

[dramatic music]

- All right.

What else?

- We had a witness.

Zakhia, Robert would've been off grid.

- You know what pisses me off?

We finally get Darius for rollin' on Jimmy,

and we get nothin' from the wire.

And now he pulls this vanishing act.

- I have good news.

- Yeah?

Give me good news.

- We got a break.

Armando Zania.

He's on the books as a janitor at the warehouse.

We know he has very close ties with

the Albanian mob.

Very close.

- And?

- And he clocked in at 7:00am and never clocked out.

- You think he was there?

- [IA Officer] I think he saw it.

- All right.

Quietly.

Do not let Jimmy or Darius get wind of this.

Find him and bring him in.

- One step ahead of you.

[dramatic music]

[shouting in background]

- [Man] Armando.

- [Armando] Yeah.

- How about a little chat, huh?

- Yeah.

What do you wanna do?

- Shit. Go!

Hold it!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

- What, I didn't do nothin', man.

I want my lawyer.

- You didn't do nothin'?

- Naw.

- Or do you want a lawyer?

- Both.

- Both.

Go grab a coffee, huh?

I got him, I got him.

Let's take a little walk.

- You're makin' a mistake, man.

- Two days later Armando ends up dead.

[people chatting in background]

We don't know how, we don't know by who,

but I can guess.

- That doesn't say dirty cop.

That says mob boss tryin' to clean up house.

[fingers snapping]

- [Yolanda] Mmm-hmm.

- Argon, reported head of the Albanians,

prizes family to a fault.

After the death of his son,

Armando became his right-hand man.

And Darius goes missing.

According to Chief Riles,

he asked for a leave of absence,

so nobody's looking for him.

Jimmy ends up in the hospital.

And Darius's daughter,

who's suffering from a rare form of cancer,

is now a ward of the state.

And the only reason Darius wouldn't see his daughter is--

- Because he's dead?

- Or he's running from something.

- Not only do we need to find Darius,

but we need to find a link between the Albanians,

the murders and the shootings that's solid.

- You know what this means if we do this?

- We'll be helping to prove that Jimmy was

part of the warehouse shooting.

- But you'll find the man who shot Jimmy.

- I promised him.

Promised him we would solve it.

- Yeah.

- Where do you need us?

- Back with your witnesses.

- Put some pressure on, see what happens?

- But I have to stay out of it.

[scoffing]

- Can we run things from here, Tess?

- Mi casa su casa.

- We'll take the witnesses.

- Sure.

- We'll keep you in the loop.

Daylight's burning.

- And I need this done yesterday

before the trails go cold or just disappear.

[suspenseful music]

- Okay, I'm here.

- Okay.

- This is so weird.

- I agree, but Tess's right.

I might have information you don't,

and we can't waste time.

She's got Tarik on her phone.

[suspenseful music]

- [Tarik] Anyone home?

- [Ethan] Yeah.

- Yup, loud and clear.

Let's go find this guy.

- How can I help you, officer?

- I have a couple questions about a shooting

that happened about six weeks ago.

A Detective Jimmy Brutt.

- Oh.

Yeah, man, yeah.

I, um, I heard about that, man.

That is crazy.

Did they ever catch the guys who did that?

- [Yolanda] No one's home.

- Maybe there's a manager.

- You know, maybe there's a manager.

- Hang on.

Hey.

Detective Yolanda Rodriguez.

Mind if I ask you a few questions?

- No, not at all.

- You are?

- Tommy.

Sheldon.

- Tommy Sheldon.

- Yeah.

- Do you know Christopher Allen?

Is he your neighbor?

- Yeah, I know Chris.

- [Yolanda] You do?

- Yeah.

- Ah, I'm just here to follow up on a couple leads.

Hopin' you can tell me somethin'.

[sighing]

- Yeah.

He tell you about the shooting that happened

a few weeks back?

- He did.

- Oh, he did.

So, ah, you know where Chris is now?

- Gone.

He moved to Florida.

- It's bad on bad, right?

Think you have it rough and then somethin'

like this happens, you realize

maybe your life ain't so rough.

- Yeah, it's all perspective, right?

- [Ethan] Yeah.

- Look, I don't know what I can tell you.

He, uh, he took off not too long ago.

He was talkin' about moving to the Keys for like forever.

Good for him, right?

- Right.

- Things finally turned around.

- How so?

- Um.

Let's see, I saw your detective.

He was talkin' with a couple guys.

They went walkin' down an alley

and I just went back to drinkin' my coffee,

waitin' for the bus.

- Ask him about the bus.

- I mean, one minute you lose your job at a bar,

next thing you know your aunt and uncle

die in a car wreck and you've got the money to move.

- Huh.

The reports didn't mention that.

- [Tommy] Yeah, well.

- Talk to him about the bar.

- Huh, well thank you for your time.

- Yeah.

- Tommy. - Tommy.

- [Yolanda] Sheldon.

- Yup.

- Oh, ah, the bar.

Do you remember where it was located?

- Anything else?

- No.

You know, actually.

The bus line.

What color was it?

- Blue.

- Blue.

So was that before or after the shooting?

- Ah, it was before.

- [Tarik] So that means you missed it.

- Yeah, yeah, I missed it.

Hey, you mind?

- Somewhere on 10th and uh.

- Is it the corner of 10th and 122nd?

- 10th and 122nd?

- Yes, that's the one.

- [Yolanda] Thanks.

Have a great day.

- You too.

- Hey, you mind if I get back to work?

- No.

- All right.

- Thank you for your time.

- You get all that?

- Okay, let's meet back here and check in.

- Get that, Tess?

Gotta love modern technology.

- I'll take that as a compliment.

[suspenseful music]

[sirens wailing]

- Tess, check the bus schedules.

Make sure they line up with Ethan's statement

and Jimmy's shooting.

- On it.

- How did you know about the bar?

- It's a place where Armando set up

for a meeting with Robert.

Armando never showed.

They then said they closed it for remodeling.

Darius goes missing.

- We could've started there.

- No, she's right.

We should start with the evidence.

But we don't keep things from each other.

This is a team.

We work together.

We share everything, even if it's a hunch.

- Noted.

- Okay, I'm pulling up their records right now.

- That still doesn't prove anything.

I mean, just because Armando had a drink at the bar.

- No, but too many people are missing,

shot and presumed dead.

It all links to the bar.

Yolanda?

- I hate to say it, but I agree.

- Okay, so the bar was run by a guy named Kyle Guest.

He manages the bar, but it's owned by

a company called ECO Homestead.

It's a private company,

so I can't really dig any further.

- That alone's not unusual.

- ECO Homestead is a legal company.

Alan Turnbow is the president.

Alan was last seen in the company of these two.

- Andre Brown and Fiona Leeden.

- With names like that, let me guess.

Associates of Argon Meldrid?

- You got it.

- Tarik?

- Yes?

- How do you feel about taking me for a drink?

[chuckles]

I hear there's a bar at 10th and 122nd we can check out.

- Hey, I thought you'd never ask.

- Well, I'm askin'.

- Oh, I'm followin'.

Let's go.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Mmm.

This is good.

How are you holdin' up?

- How are you?

- You know you do that, don't you?

- What?

- Answer a question with a question.

Come on, you can talk to me.

- I just want to find Jimmy's shooter.

- Makes two of us.

- Maybe we all do that.

- Mmm.

Maybe it's part of the job.

- Mmm.

- Or maybe we shouldn't, huh?

- Maybe we shouldn't.

Tarik?

- Mmm-hmm?

- You ever think about the fact we could be

proving Jimmy innocent?

- Mmm.

Yeah.

- Yeah.

- How's the um,

how's the new man?

- Don't do that.

Don't do, don't--

- I'm just askin'. - I'm...

Tarik.

- [Tarik] Oh, shit.

- Zakhia know you're here?

- It was his idea.

[suspenseful music]

- [Tarik] Get him.

All right, ladies.

We're sending you a picture now.

- That's Argon.

And the woman in the picture?

That's Fiona Leeder.

- That's Darius.

- Well, I guess we know where Darius has been.

- Could something have happened to Chris?

- [Tarik] Guess he didn't make it to Florida, huh?

- Okay.

According to the bus schedule,

the night Jimmy was shot

the bus Ethan says he missed actually

arrived 30 minutes after

he said it did.

- So he lied.

At least we know where to start tomorrow.

- No, we don't know anything yet.

But we will.

[suspenseful music]

- Bastard.

[suspenseful music]

[solemn music]

[monitor beeping]
