DANNY:
What do we got?

Two perps roll up in
a black van wearing masks.

Robbed the vic here,
Alan Josephson,

at gunpoint.
Fired one shot.

- Anyone hit?
- Just cuts from the broken glass.

All right, we got it from here.

(Indistinct chatter)

Excuse me.
Detective Reagan and Baez.

It's about time.

We understand
you were robbed?

You have a unique gift
for understatement.

Okay, sir, why don't you just

tell us what happened,
all right?

I was checking my emails
when these two jackals

shoved a gun in my face
and demanded my watch.

- Did you comply?
- Not without a fight.

Not the best choice
you could make.

You could've got yourself
or somebody else killed.

Yeah, you can always
buy another watch.

An Astronomic Souveraine?

I'm a Timex guy.

F.P. Journe.
Incredibly limited run.

Cost me over $900,000.

Whoa. Was it insured?

Obviously,
but it's not about the money.

You have no idea
what I had to do

to get my hands on that watch.

And I had it
for less than a week.

- Well, we'll do what we can.
- Okay.

Are you familiar
with the Josephson Galleries?

No.
Well, the mayor's wife is.

She's one of my best clients.

Good to know.

Find my watch.

900 grand?

Might as well wear
a sign that says, "Rob me."

(Sighs)

Hey, boss,
wanted to see me?

Annette Jennings is being
promoted to detective.

I heard.
She's a talented officer.

One of our best.

Won't be easy to fill her shoes.

Did you have someone in mind?

That's my question for you.

- Sir?
- I want you

to recruit
Jennings' replacement.

I appreciate your confidence
in my judgment.

Oh, no, this isn't a vote
of confidence, Reagan.

It's a test. A field intel team

is only as strong as its
personnel and the intel sergeant

needs to be able to identify
and nurture talent.

- I understand.
- The team needs driven

individuals who can think
outside the box.

We have some excellent
officers right in the 2-9.

Good.

Just know, whoever you choose,

you own 'em.

Sink or swim.

No pressure.

That's all.

Thank you, boss.

(Indistinct chatter)

I understand
Andrew Green confessed.

Yes, felony murder for
the death of Mia Daltrey.

A ten-year-old girl
playing in the park.

The park adjacent
to the bank

where he was committing
armed robbery.

Apparently he missed
the memo that shooting it out

with the cops
seldom ends well.

Well, I'm sure he will have
plenty of time

to think about it while
he's doing 20 to life upstate.

An excellent result
on a high-profile case.

My compliments.

I'll pass it along.

I understand Green identified

an accomplice
as part of his plea?

James Baxter.

A.D.A. Simms will interview him
this afternoon.

Actually, I want you to handle
this one personally.

Simms is completely
capable of doing it...

I'm sure she is. But Green's
confession is a big win for us.

And I don't want it undermined
by his accomplice walking away.

I understand, but pulling an
A.D.A. in the middle of a case...

Happens all the time.

Unless, of course, your plate
is full with other priorities?

I'm on it.

Great. Keep me posted.

Officer Lester.

Have a seat.

Do you know why you're here?

No, sir.

26 months ago you were cleared
in the shooting death

of Louis Lamar.

By a Queens jury and the NYPD.

I know that.

Well, the mayor has requested

that the department
re-open the case.

I don't understand.

That makes two of us.

Is there some kind
of new evidence?

No, nothing
they've shared with us.

Then how is this fair?

I didn't say it was.

Lamar's family has been
pressuring City Hall

to re-examine the shooting.

I was innocent then,

and I'm innocent now.

What happened that night,
from your perspective only?

Lamar's car fit the description

of a vehicle used
in a gunpoint robbery.

I pulled him over,
and I ordered him

to keep his hands on the wheel.

Instead, he reaches
into his jacket, quick-like.

No way you could know
he was going for his cell phone.

Or that he had nothing
to do with that robbery.

I hate what happened,

and it eats me alive.

But if it happened
again tomorrow,

I'd do the exact same thing.

I'd have to.

So you're at peace
with your actions?

I'm very far from at peace
and probably always will be.

But I did my duty,

and I'm doing my best
to live with the fallout.

Thanks for coming in.
We'll be in touch.

Hmm.

This thing's going
to beat him up pretty good.

Keep an eye on him.

*BLUE BLOODS*
Season 13 Episode 04

Episode Title: "Life During Wartime"
Aired on: October 28, 2022.

(Buzzer sounds)

Do you recognize this man,
Mr. Baxter?

Andrew Green. So?

Mr. Green confessed

to committing a robbery
at a bank

and exchanging gunfire
with the police.

What's that got to do with me?

We'll ask the questions.

Do you know who this is?

If I knew there was a test,
I would've studied.

You got a lousy sense of humor.

James.

This is Mia Daltrey.

She was killed by a stray bullet

shot from Mr. Green's gun.

I don't know anything
about that.

Can we get to the point?

When Mr. Green confessed,

he named your client
as his accomplice.

- He's lying.
- ABETEMARCO: We got security footage

of you with Green

an hour before the robbery,

and a block from the bank
when it went down.

ERIN:
Mr. Green is going away

for felony murder.

You're looking
at the same charge.

However,
if you admit your guilt,

I will recommend the
minimum sentence to the judge.

No!

There's no damn way I'm going
down for something I didn't do.

My offer expires the moment
you walk out that door.

(Door closes)

Checked in with Major Case.

Apparently, they confirmed
there's a string

of armed robberies
targeting luxury watches.

Great. Let's let them handle it.

That way, we don't got to put up
with that hump Josephson.

Boss got a call from downtown.

Apparently, that hump does know
the mayor's wife,

so it's our case.
Great.

So what do we know?

They're smart,
they're organized,

and they're after watches.

You know, I got to say,

I've never heard of a watch
that cost so much.

It's crazy. You can't turn on
the TV without hearing

about how crime's
spiking in the city.

This moron's walking around

with a three-bedroom house
on his wrist.

It's a free country, I guess.

Yeah, it's a free country,
but people are struggling

to make ends meet.

And no watch is worth
a million dollars.

Well, if you got it like that...

Nothing is worth a million
dollars that goes on your wrist.

Oh. Unless it's this watch.

Found Josephson's watch.

White gold dial, 68 jewels.

Oh, look. You can try it on.

Yeah. No, thanks.

- Not even a little?
- Maybe a little.

- Look at that. It looks good.
- Mm. Yeah.

Well, now you know what
to get me for Christmas.

Hey, Cooper, Chris to?

What's up, Sarge?
Sergeant Reagan.

Congratulations
on your commendation

for breaking up
that carjacking.

Thank you, sir.

My partner's a regular hero.

You mind if I borrow him?

Hell, you can keep him.

Meet you outside.

You got an excellent record.

- Thank you, sir.
- I'm looking to fill a slot

in Field Intelligence.
Are you interested?

- Absolutely, sir.
- Okay, I'll be pulling

your personnel folder,
looking at past evaluations.

Are you good with that?

Yes, sir. I'm grateful
for the opportunity. Thank you.

All right. I'll be in touch.

Andrew Green
implicated Baxter

as the lookout
for the bank robbery.

It's enough
to get an indictment.

But what other evidence
do we have

that proves Baxter
was involved?

He and Green both got popped for
two other robberies last year.

It doesn't prove he was
involved in this robbery.

The last call that Green got

before entering the bank came
from Baxter's phone.

Okay, but unless Baxter left
a message implicating himself

in the crime, the call
itself proves nothing.

Do I got to remind you?

This is Baxter across from the
bank at the time of the robbery.

He's turned away from the bank.

He's not much of a lookout.

Oh, so him standing there...

That's just a coincidence?
Really?

Did Baxter call Green

and warn him
that the police were on the way?

No. He ran off like the cowardly
skel that he is. Listen.

Baxter's fingerprints are all
over this thing, believe me.

If they were, we wouldn't be
having this conversation.

(Sighs)
Right now, all we have

is Green's ID and a mountain
of circumstantial evidence.

Corroborated by a dead kid,

which is all the evidence
that I need.

If Baxter didn't do this, he did
something else, I'm telling you.

That's not the way
we do business.

Maybe this time, it should be.

MAN (over P.A.): Blue Team to
ICU. Paging Blue Team to ICU.

Excuse me. Looking for a gunshot
victim named Prentiss.

- Oh, she's headed to surgery.
- Can we see her for a minute?

She's got a bullet
in her abdomen.

Make it quick. Over there.

Okay. Thanks.

(Indistinct chatter)

Excuse me. Detective Reagan and Baez.
How you doing?

I've had better days.

Can you tell us
what happened?

I walked out of my brownstone.

Two men with masks came...
out of nowhere.

They wanted my watch.

How'd you get shot?

Ugh.

I just got a carry permit
for my Ruger.

I pulled it out of my bag.

That's when they shot you?

I got the gun for protection,

in case something
like this happened.

(Groans, sighs)

So much for that.

Not your fault.

I'm guessing
it was a pricey watch?

Richard Mille.

My wife gave it to me
for our tenth anniversary.

Never heard of it.
How pricey we talking here?

I'm embarrassed to say.

It's okay.

Around $200,000.

The OR is ready.
Excuse me.

We're taking her to surgery.

I guess these guys are
starting to play rough.

Yeah. We got
to nail these sons of bitches

before somebody's dead.

Pulled the case folder
and trial transcript.

(Door closes)

Lester was deemed justified
in using deadly physical force.

It was a good shoot.

Which is exactly why
our shooting team cleared him

and a jury acquitted him.

And why I signed off on it.

So it was a tragedy,
not a crime.

And nothing has changed
about that.

Except the times.

Meaning what?

Come on, really? Meaning
we have a minority victim.

And a minority cop.

A distinction
without a difference these days.

A cop's not Black or brown
or white. They're just blue.

What's that off,
a bumper sticker?

No.

Sounds like it. As thin
as the decal it's printed on.

It's conventional wisdom
out there.

Yeah, well,
we're not out there, Garrett.

We're in here.

And any wisdom is built
on actual facts.

A record number of people
left the department this year.

Most in NYPD history.
That's a fact.

So,

my wisdom here is,

I can't afford
to lose another good cop.

And Lester is, in fact,
a good cop

who was completely cleared
on a tragic incident.

Boss, I never thought
I'd say this,

but you sound a little like me.

Except way more eloquent.

So you're saying "no"
to the mayor?

I'm saying "no"
to the conventional wisdom

that it is somehow justice
to hound a person

for as long as you need to

until you get the thing
you want.

I can maybe spin that into,
"We're working on it."

Yeah, but that's gonna sound
like we're stonewalling, right?

Let me work my magic.

But they're
gonna go,

"Cops protecting cops
again, same old story."

Well, if we don't,
who will? (Sighs)

One PP starts going
after cleared cops,

the rank and file
are gonna go nuts,

and there's gonna be another
stampede for the exits.

Yeah, and get that
in there, too.

How?

I have no idea.

But we're counting on you.

(Door opens)

Mrs. Daltrey, I'm Erin Reagan.

I appreciate you seeing me.

Please.

I'm so sorry
about your daughter.

I still expect to see her
walk in the front door.

I can't imagine
what you've been through.

The only thing keeping me going
is making sure

the men
who killed her are punished.

I understand.
That's why I'm here.

To thank you for putting
Andrew Green in prison.

Well, I hope it's brought you
some level of peace.

It has.

And now I want James Baxter
to pay for what he did.

I am reviewing
Mr. Baxter's case.

I know you
and Detective Abetamarco

will do the right thing.

You spoke with Anthony?

He was investigating
the shooting.

He told me you were the one
who's going to put Baxter away.

(Indistinct chatter)

(Door closes)

I just met Mia Daltrey's mother.

Nice lady.

She wanted to talk
about the Baxter case.

She wants justice
for her daughter.

So you told her to look for me?

I may have mentioned your name.

Give me a break.
You wanted her to seek me out.

She has a right
to express her opinion.

You engineered her visit
to put pressure on me

to present a case
to the grand jury.

She said she had questions.
I'm no lawyer,

so I told her
to ask you directly.

You used a grieving mother

in an to attempt
to influence my decision.

You asked me
to look into the case.

Mrs. Daltrey's a part of the
case, maybe the biggest part.

I have great sympathy
for anyone who lost a child.

But I need to make my decisions
based on facts.

Green ID'd Baxter,
and that's a fact.

And that should be enough.

Well, I intend to find out.

Don't you ever pull a stunt
like this again.

(Door closes)

You and Cooper have been
partners for the past 18 months?

Yeah. Didn't think we'd make it
18 seconds at first.

No? Well, why is that?

He's from a cop family, kind of
uptight, real by the book.

Not that there's anything
wrong with that.

(Chuckles)
But you guys made it work?

Cooper's a straight arrow,
but a hell of a cop.

Always has my back.

I see how you two
have led the precinct

in collars the past
seven months straight.

We think the same way out there.

How's that?
We're paid to take

bad guys off the street,
so that's what we do.

Tough time
for cops out there.

You guys don't let that
get in the way, huh?

No, we don't look for excuses.

Coop is fearless.

Always the first guy
to run towards trouble.

Field intelligence work requires
strategic thinking.

Outside the box.
You think he's good for that?

Coop's a smart cop.
But can he handle

cases that aren't always
what they seem to be?

Look, Sarge, I'm a street cop.

This stuff's above my pay grade.

My partner's a great cop,
and I trust him with my life.

That's good enough for me.

Thanks.

These guys are ripping off
watches all over town.

It's tough to see a pattern.

The MO's consistent.

Trouble is figuring out how
they identify their victims.

- Maybe they use a spotter.
- Maybe.

That would indicate
a much larger operation, though.

- Right here, sir.
- Excuse me.

Hi.

I'm Rishi Patel.

Are you the detectives
handling the watch thefts?

Unfortunately, yes.
What can we do for you?

My family owns
a news stand in Midtown.

- Mm-hmm.
- This morning,

two guys came in
when I was opening up.

Let me guess.
Masks and guns?

Yeah.

Took my watch.

Anything else?
Didn't ask for my wallet,

didn't touch the register.

Okay. Uh, what kind of watch
we talking about here?

That's the weird part.
It's just an old watch

my grandpa bought back
in the '70s

when he opened the news stand.

Oh.
What do you think it's worth?

Grandpa was great,
but he was seriously cheap.

If he paid a hundred bucks,
I'd be shocked.

I wouldn't even
report it, but, um,

my grandpa passed it down
to my dad, who gave it me.

I've got a little boy now.

I was hoping
to continue the tradition.

Yeah, understandable.
Okay, why don't you,

uh, give us a description
of the watch?

We'll see if we can help.

Mrs. Lamar, I'm Robert Lester.

We know who you are.

I don't mean to bother you,

and I know you must hate me.

You killed our son.

I want you to know,

I think about Louis every day.

I killed a man

I never met,
and that kills me.

You want to tell us
about your pain?

You don't know the meaning
of the word.

GORMLEY:
Robert?

Come on.

Let's go.

Make sure he keeps his hands
where you can see them.

(Door closes)

What are you doing here?

They got a doorbell camera.

Called it in the moment
you showed up.

I just want
to tell 'em I'm sorry.

Robert, it's not the time
or the place.

Brad Haller.
Watched his girlfriend's baby

while she was at work.

Wouldn't exactly be my
first choice for a babysitter.

When she got back,
the kid wasn't acting right.

She took him to the ER, baby
showed signs of being shaken.

- That son of a bitch.
- No witnesses,

detectives can't
get him to give it up.

Gonna have to cut him loose
if he doesn't confess.

You want to give it a shot?

Yes, sir.

(Door opens)

I'm Officer Cooper.

I got nothing more to say.

I hear you like
to beat up little kids.

You hear wrong.

Well, you were the only one

with that baby that night,
Mr. Haller,

so no one else
could've done it.

Okay, okay.

Either you tell me
exactly what you did,

or you're gonna get a lot worse
than what you gave that kid.

(Scoffs)

(Yelling):
Start talking, Brad!

I didn't do it!

I didn't! I didn't do it!

(Panting):
God.

I didn't.

(Panting)

(Panting)

This isn't over.

(Door opens)

(Door closes)

(Quiet chatter)

You've got an excellent eye.

- It's a beautiful piece.
- Thank you.

Uh, are those real diamonds
on the round thingy?

Oh, it's called the bezel.

And those rocks
are the real deal.

Wow.
Internally flawless.

Want a closer look?

- That's why I'm here.
- Teddy Marx.

Senior sales associate.

Detective Reagan, NYPD.

Investigating a series
of high-end watch robberies.

I-I heard about the incident
with Mr. Josephson.

It's terrifying.

Yeah, he purchased
that watch here.

I know. He's one
of our best clients.

Ironically, it turns out several

of the stolen watches
were purchased here.

- That's not surprising.
- Why not?

(laughs) We've been the city's
top luxury watch boutique

for over a decade.

But still, I mean, you know,

more than one of those watches
being purchased here...

It's kind of a long shot,
don't you think?

You think
our clients are being targeted?

Well, it's very possible

someone's setting up shop
outside.

They wait
for your clients to leave,

and then they make a move,
or it could be

it was an inside job.

One of our employees?

You know,
I checked the sales record

for Mr. Josephson's watch,
and your name was on it.

What are you suggesting?

I'm not suggesting anything.
Just asking questions.

Well, um, for your information,

one of my associates sold
Leslie Prentiss

the Richard Mille watch
that was just stolen.

That's interesting, because

the Prentiss robbery
hasn't been made public yet.

I saw to that myself.

So the only way

you could possibly know about it
was if you knew about it.

Maybe we should talk downtown.

I want to apologize.

I was out of line earlier.

Okay.

And thing is, uh,
my wife and I

just had a baby girl.

Yeah, she's amazing,
you know, but

the kid won't stop crying,
you know?

(laughing): I haven't
slept in... in three nights.

I'm losing my mind.

It can drive you nuts.

Yeah.

And sometimes,

when you can't sleep,
you-you do things

that you would never do.

Am I right?

Brad?

(Sighs)

It's gonna be all right.

I didn't want to hurt that kid.

I just wanted him to be quiet.

(Door opens)

Detective Reynolds,
I appreciate you coming in.

All good. What are
we talking about?

The Green case.

One for the good guys.

You did excellent work.

Yeah, well, we had him cold.

But you got him to confess.

(Chuckles)
That's why I get the big bucks.

And a two-fer.

Getting Green
to give up Baxter... that's huge.

No honor among thieves.

But unlike Green,
the only solid evidence

we have against Baxter
is Green's ID.

I'm just the dogcatcher.

You guys decide
whether to toss 'em in a cage.

High-profile case, lot of eyes
on this, lot of pressure

going around.

Let's cut to the chase,
Counselor.

Did you offer Green anything
to give up Baxter?

The usual. "I'll tell the D.A.
you cooperated."

And did you?

Yeah.

And Green got 20-to-life
instead of 25.

Lucky he didn't get the max.

Well, not so lucky for Baxter.

Yeah, well, just so you know,

I don't give a damn about
Andrew Green or James Baxter.

How about the truth?

I got Green to confess
to killing a little girl

and to give up Baxter.

I did my job.

The rest is up to you.

(Elevator bell dings)

(Indistinct chatter)

Cooper.
Sergeant.

How's Chris to?

Oh, he-he took one
in the side, sir.

He's in surgery now.

(Sighs)
What the hell happened?

What happened, Cooper?

There was an armed robbery
on 9th, sir,

at an electronics store.

We-we were the first ones
on the scene.

We-we saw through the window

that the suspect was armed
with an AR15, sir.

And so what did you do?

Chris to wanted to contain,

call for backup.

Smart move.

I should've listened to him.

I decided to go in.
And Chris to?

He-he was right behind me,
like always.

What happened
once you guys got inside?

Suspect turned around
as soon as we entered, sir.

He opened fire.

Chris to pushed me down
to the ground and returned fire.

He took the guy down,
but not...

Just not before he got hit, sir.

Well, what made you decide
to go in?

My mom was a transit cop, sir.

And she always taught me
that a good cop never hesitates.

All due respect,
that's not always true.

If he doesn't make it, sir...

...that's on me.

(Door opens)

I feel like
I should call a lawyer.

- Why? You do something wrong?
- No.

- I didn't do anything wrong.
- Well, you know,

they say a broken watch is
accurate twice a day, Teddy.

So far, you are 0 for 1.

No one was supposed
to get hurt.

Well, you tell that to Leslie
Prentiss, who, luckily for you,

survived. Now spill it.

A couple of months ago,
a guy came up to me

at the coffee place
across from the store.

He knows where I work
and said he has a way

for us
to make some serious money.

Those words
have done more damage

than cocaine and booze combined.

Go ahead.

- Come on! Start talking.
- Okay.

I should've walked away.

- But you didn't.
- I...

Come on. What's the scam?

Whenever I'd sell a Grail...

- A what?
- Grail,

as in Holy?
A rare or crazy expensive watch.

I get it.
After I'd make the sale,

I'd reach out, I'd give this guy
the name and the address

of the client, the make
of the watch, that's it.

- No, that's not it.
- Your clients would then get robbed

at gunpoint for their watch.

He promised
there would be no violence,

that it'd be
a big win all around.

For your clients who get robbed?
How's that a win?

They'd steal the watch.

They'd sell it
to some shady online dealer.

We'd split the profits.

The client files
a big, fat insurance claim.

Then comes back
and buy another watch.

It's genius.

Genius
until the bullets start flying.

Yes.

Why'd you do it?

Were you hoping
to save up some money

and buy yourself one
of those zillion-dollar watches?

You kidding? I'd never sink that
kind of money into wrist candy.

It's a very high-risk
investment.

'Cause what you did wasn't
high-risk at all, was it?

You're in a lot
of trouble here, Teddy,

but you can help yourself.

(Soft chuckle)

Another offer I can't refuse?

Something like that.

Come on. What's the big secret?

I don't want to talk about it.

Oh, come on. Leave him alone.

It's just a Halloween costume.

- How bad can it be?
- DANNY: Yeah.

- I lost a bet.
- JAMIE: Uh-oh.

Ooh, let's hear it.

Britney Spears.

- Oh, my God. - Wow.
- Oh, yeah.

- Could be worse.
- JAMIE: Ooh.

Actually, it is.

How much worse?

There is a twerking contest.

JANKO: Oh. Oh.

Oh, and twerking is
so much harder than it looks.

How do you know?

I've-I've heard about it.

It's not too late
to fail a COVID test.

Yeah, or try witness protection.

Yeah.

Trust me, Sean.

All these guys wore
their share

of embarrassing costumes
over the years.

(laughter)
Yes.

Yeah, and then some.

Which we don't need

to discuss right now.

- Oh, I think we do.
- JANKO: Mm-hmm.

- Why not?
- ERIN: Let's just say

cross-dressing runs
in your immediate family.

You know,
that was a one-time thing.

You were one scary little witch.

(laughter)

You lose a bet, too, Dad?

- No.
- Please

- tell me there's pictures.
- Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Ah. Which will never
see the light of day, thank you.

Eddie, check with me
after dinner.

Okay.

I seem to remember
a Wonder Woman costume

that never saw
the light of day.

That was so wrong.

Yeah, you showed so much skin,

Mom wouldn't let you
leave the house in it.

Exactly.

Sounds scandalous.

Grandpa threw a sheet
over my head,

and I had to go
as the Statue of Liberty.

(laughter)

You're welcome.

Jamie?

No comment.

Oh, no. Jamie put wheels

on his R2-D2 costume,

and flew right down
the driveway.

Yeah, right into the side
of my car.

I was trying to make the jump
to light speed, okay?

Light speed.

Um, I went as a Brillo pad
when I was eight.

Then I broke out into hives.

- Wow.
- ERIN: See?

We all have Halloween skeletons
in the closet.

Yes. I feel better now.

Speaking of which, um, Dad?

Baseball player,
every year like clockwork.

Uh, well, not quite every year.

Hmm.

Remember,
I control your pension.

Okay, well, now we have to know.

Yeah, Henry, please
tell us. Please.

Let's just say
that he was the cutest little

six-year-old Teddy Roosevelt
you ever saw.

Aw.

Okay.
Way back then?

Well, what do you have
to say for yourself now?

Bully.
Ah.

(laughter)

(Sighs)

You've got
your marching orders.

Officer Lester was cleared
by a jury of his peers.

And the PC.
And nobody gives a damn.

I could refuse to
review the case.

And go to war with the mayor?

Pop, it's my job to stand
with my officer.

And you have 35,000 others
to worry about.

(Sighs)

Private conversation?

Cops only.

You got two right here.

This is about the Lester case?

Word's out, I see.

Yeah, every house in the city
is talking about it.

Make up your mind?

Not hardly.

If Lester skates,
public will call it a cover-up.

DANNY: Yeah, but if he
doesn't, then every cop

who's ever faced an excessive
force complaint

suddenly has a new target
on their back.

Me included.

You stay in this job
long enough,

someone's gonna
point a finger.

Well, sometimes
that's justified,

but not in this case.

Said another cop.

We're never gonna be
perfect out there.

Amen.

Lamar's not a bad guy.

All he did was reach for
his phone and he died for it.

He died because
he didn't obey

an officer's
explicit instruction.

Which means you can't
pin it on Lester.

I'm not placing any blame.

Well, unfortunately, the mayor's
trying to make that my job.

So, what are you
gonna do about it?

(Sighs)
Lester took it out of my hand.

What'd he do?
Turn in his papers?

Yup. Friday end of tour.

Wow.

Well, damn.
So he's a casualty, too.

Well, not quite.
I handed them right back.

And pointed out that a cop
under active investigation

can't resign.

Wait, that's in the book?

It is.

- Well played.
- JAMIE: So you threw the book at him,

why not just let him go
in peace?

Because I can't fight
this thing for all of us

without that one particular
officer right by my side.

Hip-hop music playing
over speakers...

Thank you.

You see anything you like?
Help yourself.

- I'll be over there.
- All right. Thanks.

- Could I see some chains?
- Yeah, I got you.

- Mm-hmm.
- Ah?

Nah.

Nah.

Maybe something yellow.

Mm.

Ah?

Boom.

Boom, she likes it.

Can you open that?

Nobody move!

Give up the watch!

All right.

All right, just don't shoot,
all right?

Here you go.
Got it.

Let's bolt.
(door beeps)

Come on, hurry up.
It's locked.

THIEF 1:
Yo, open the damn door!

Open the door!
Police!

Drop the gun right now!

On the ground!

On the ground right now.

Drop the gun!

Get on the ground!
(siren wailing)

Hands where we can see them.

Keep your hands
where I can see them.

Hey.

Jackass.

$50 fake, you should
probably know that by now.

Get 'em the hell out of here.

You know it's not too late
to drop this thing.

It's not gonna happen.
(door opens)

(Groans)

ERIN:
You are entitled

to have your lawyer present,
Mr. Green.

I got 20 to life.

What the hell else
can you do to me?

I want to talk
about James Baxter.

So talk.

You guys have known
each other a long time.

Yeah.

And he committed this robbery
at the bank with you?

That's right. And did Baxter
volunteer to be lookout

or did you ask him to do it?

I don't know.
What's the difference?

What was the signal?

- Huh?
- The signal...

that Baxter was gonna give you
when the cops arrived?

- We didn't have one.
- Is that because Baxter

didn't actually participate
in this robbery?

Ask that bitch detective.

Detective Reynolds?

She said she'd cut me a deal
if I gave up Baxter.

And she held up her end.

You gave up
your friend

even though he was innocent.

You guys wanted Baxter.
I gave him to you.

I'm aware of
the negative reaction.

I understand.
Yes, sir.

That was the mayor.

(Sighs) Didn't sound like
a pleasant conversation.

He's pissed that James Baxter
wasn't charged,

and he's not alone.

I issued a statement.

I read it.
You cited me by name.

It was your case.

Well, you saw to that.

And?
All we had on Baxter

was a weak ID
by a coconspirator.

But you already knew that.

I'm sorry?

I doubt that.

You assigned me
that case

because you knew

I would never present charges
to the grand jury

against an innocent man,

and I would be left holding
the bag when he walked.

(Quietly):
Wow.

If you're gonna run for D.A.,

you should really tamp down
the paranoia.

I never made an announcement.

There are no secrets
in this town.

If I decide to run,
one thing I will never do

is politicize the business
of this office.

Kind of naive
for a career prosecutor.

You're a really
good attorney, Kimberly.

But there's more to this job
than just that.

- Enlighten me.
- You need to be able to make

the tough calls
and take the blow back

even if it costs you
a few votes.

Tough to fit
on a bumper sticker.

I was really hoping
to leave the politics

at the water's edge.

Hope springs eternal.

(Door opens)

Hey.

Heard you were up and around.

Still breathing, anyway.

Docs said the surgery
was a success.

Bullet went right through.
Missed all the important stuff.

Sounds lucky to me.

Lucky would've been if
the damn thing hit someone else.

I'm putting you in
for the Combat Cross.

I just did my job.

You saved your partner's life.

And I took a look
at that carjacking footage

that Cooper got decorated for...

Wasn't for you,
that perp gets away.

Coop and I are partners.
We don't keep score.

During that interrogation,
Cooper didn't have a clue.

Went to get some water,
came back in,

knew just how to work that guy.

Cooper got the confession.

I just gave him a little push
in the right direction.

Like that push you gave him
in the electronics store?

Coop's a hell of a cop.

He's gonna do a great job
in Field Intelligence.

Your partner's no longer
a candidate for FIO.

You're making a mistake, Sarge.

No.

I just found someone
who's better.

I could never do that to Cooper.

It was his idea.

Congratulations,
Officer Christodoulopoulos.

Heal up fast.
We got work to do.

(Door opens)

(Door closes)

D.A.'s charging those clowns

with attempted murder
and armed robbery.

What about Teddy
the watch guy?

Cooperated,
so he'll got a break,

but he's looking at time, too.

Sting worked out
pretty good. Yep.

Kind of like your outfit.

Are you saying there was
something wrong with my outfit?

No, I liked it.
I'm saying you had swag.

Really? Well, thank you.

I mean, I had to, considering
how amazing you looked.

Oh... stop it.

It's true.
You looked amazing.

- Say it again.
- You looked wonderful.

RISHI:
Hi.

Got your message, Detectives.

Oh. Hey, uh...

I believe this...
belongs to you.

You found it.
Thank you so much!

D.A. took a photo
for evidence;

She agreed to give
the watch back to you.

Yeah, turns out
the watch dealer

who was working with the thieves
came in to your news stand.

He noticed the watch,
he tipped them off.

Why'd they want
this old thing?

Well, that old thing
happens to be

a Patek Phillippe
Nautilus 3700.

Exactly.
I didn't know

what that meant either,

but apparently,
the watch is worth 175 grand.

Kidding me. You could
send your kid to college

with that bad boy.

Yeah, but...

I could never sell it.

One word of advice, though?

Maybe think about
switching out the band

and just wearing
the watch face-in.

That way it's less noticeable

and you can kind of ensure that
you'll keep it in your family.

Thank you.

(Sighs)

Have a seat.

I've asked you here
to stand by my side

at a press conference
I've announced for this morning.

In five minutes.

Give or take.

We can't start
without you.

Unless you opt out.

I think we're getting
ahead of ourselves here.

Actually, I'm feeling
a little bit behind.

(Sighs)

Force Investigation and IAB
went over your case again

with the Hubble Telescope, and
you were cleared... yet again.

Good to know.

So I have satisfied
the mayor's request

and I will be
announcing our findings

at the press conference.

Thank you, sir.
But...

full disclosure,
our findings would not preclude

a review by the CCRB,
a-a potential civil suit

from the family,
or even

some kind of federal
civil rights violation.

But I will stand with you,

representing the 35,000 cops
who will be standing by you,

come hell or high water.

(Sighs)

One of my sons...

...suggested I was
less than generous

in not accepting
your resignation.

I didn't mean for it
to read that way, so...

I will accept it now,
if that is your decision.

(Inhales) If not,

I will ask you to stand by me

and stand up
for your department.

Or... duck the
rotten tomatoes with me,

which may well be the case.
