?

Yeah, I don't know about
coral for the countertops.

Well, how about...peach?

One more. Keep smiling.

Ugh. You said that
five photos ago.

This is
a momentous occasion.

Honey,
I'm opening a bake shop.

I'm not building
the Sears Tower.

You guys are no fun.

How about mint?

It's kind of sweet and subtle.

What about orange and blue?

Does everything in your life
revolve around the Bears?

What's your point?

Hey, Dad.

Hey, Mr. Kowalski.

Hi.

- How was your day?
- Fine.

We're looking over
the color palettes

for the interior of my bakery.

That's nice.

Would you care to weigh in?

No. I'll leave
that to the experts.

Thanks for refilling
the ice trays.

Okay.
What was that?

Oh,
just a bad day at work.

Did something happen?

Honey, he just got home.

Give him a few minutes.
He'll be fine.

- What are you doing?
- What?

We're not here
to investigate the homicide.

I know.

Well,
what's with the gloves?

In case
I stumble across a clue.

No stumbling, please.

Just focus on our case,
okay?

- Got it.
- One question.

What?

Do you want to be
Cagney or Lacey?

I'm kidding.

You know, I always prefer
Starsky and Hutch.

Me too.

The way Starsky would slide
across the hood of the car.

So sexy.

Yeah, right?

Stabbed in the back.

Looks like betrayal
if you ask me.

Who the hell are you two?

Flores and Kowalski.
Internal affairs?

You have a problem with
a crime scene photographer?

Detective.
Find Davies.

Tell him the rat squad's here.

Now, before you talk
to this yahoo criminalist

who filed this complaint,

I just want to go
on record as saying

that we have never had a problem
with Lucas in the past.

Are we talking about
Lucas "Flash" Givens?

- Yeah.
- You know him?

Yeah, I used to run
into him on crime scenes

all the time
when I worked patrol.

He's like a walking
Bears encyclopedia.

You're wearing gloves.

Precaution.

No, it's good.

Your partner
should be wearing them too.

See, any delinquent
skin or hair fibers--

Can contaminate
an entire crime scene.

Homicide Detection 101.

Now did you learn that
on Nancy Drew,

or you just angling
for a spot on homicide?

Both.

It's about time
you people showed up.

You the complainant?

That's right,
and you guys are late.

That whacko already split.

Okay, calm down.

Just tell us what happened.

I was minding my own business,
doing my job.

That photographer
hauls off and hits me.

He just hit you
out of the blue for no reason?

Said I stepped into his light.

I was like ten feet away.

Do you have a history
with Lucas Givens?

No, we never
worked together before.

But he was acting erratic
from the moment he arrived,

and I smelled alcohol
on his breath.

Would you excuse us?

Look, I don't want to color
your investigation here,

but this criminalist Davies
is a new guy.

He's a transfer
from Orlando

who's having a little trouble
fitting in with the team.

What does this have to do
with the complaint?

He doesn't quite
get the collegial atmosphere

that we like to cultivate
here in homicide.

You're saying he should
have turned the other cheek?

I'm saying he should have
kept it in the family,

handled it like a man.

I sent a car to Lucas' house
to try locate him.

In the meantime,

we should split up
and talk to the other workers,

see if anyone
witnessed the assault.

Don't bother.
Nobody saw a thing.

Then it'll be quick,
won't it?

How about
I save you the trouble?

Rat squad wants to know

did anyone see anything?

What'd I tell ya?

Never had a problem
with Lucas.

He's fast and good.

And in 30 years,
he's never had a case

or any piece of evidence
thrown out of court

because of a bad photo.

Lucas sounds
like a perfectionist.

Maybe the kind that would
slug a guy for ruining his shot?

No. Besides being
a consummate professional,

the guy's a Teddy Bear.

The only time I've ever
seen him upset

was when I tried to get him to
switch to digital photography.

He wouldn't comply?

Well, he argued
that digital photography

can be manipulated,
and, according to him,

shouldn't even
be allowed in court.

What defense attorney
can refute a negative?

True. You can't argue
with logic.

Watch your step.

You okay?

Yeah.

It's just, uh,
it's really small.

And there are no windows.

You want to wait outside?

No. I'm okay.
Go.

This is definitely
not like Lucas.

He's what you would call
a clean freak.

How do you put up with this
all day long?

It's not easy.

Crime scene photographers
take it in.

Close up.

The job has a pretty high
turnover rate, actually.

What about alcohol abuse?

It's not uncommon.

There were over 400 homicides
in Chicago last year.

It's a miracle anyone
on this job can stay sober.

What about Lucas?
Ever suspect him

of being under
the influence at work?

Never.

Better get used to it
if you want to be in homicide.

Who's this?

Uh, it's Matthew,
Lucas' son.

Yeah.

Okay.
Be right there.

They need me upstairs.

You two all right
here by yourselves?

We'll manage.

Oh, leave the door open.
Please.

Thank you.

Kid looks sad.

Must have wanted a truck
instead of a sweater.

I remember one Christmas
when we didn't get any toys.

You must have been bad
that year.

Hey.

Hey.
Why didn't you call me?

I didn't know
you were still here.

Everything okay?

- Yeah.
- No, it isn't.

Do you want
to talk about it?

What would you think
about me retiring?

You ask me that
every other month.

Well, this time I'm serious.

Oh, and you weren't
the last 20 times?

What are you gonna do
with yourself all day?

Lots of things.

Fish, hunt, golf.

You don't golf.

Well,
then it's time I learn.

Did something happen?

Honey, I'm a cop.
Something happens every day.

Look, you know
I'd back you 100%

no matter what
you decide to do,

but I wish you told me before
I decided to open up a business.

Yeah. Well, timing
was never my strong suit.

Thank you.

Hey.

Hey.

Patrol officers
went by Lucas' house.

He's not there.
What'd you find out?

Lucas' supervisor
and Detective Rosene

were both covering for him.

According to his file,

this isn't
his first complaint.

He's had two arrests
for public intoxication

in the past 18 months.

30 years on the job,
seeing what he sees,

uh, he might need
a drink or two

to unwind
at the end of the day.

If cops do it, why not
crime scene photographers?

He can unwind
all he wants off-duty,

but it's our job to make sure
he's not doing it at work.

Okay, fine.

If he's drinking at work,

he'd have a bottle
lying around somewhere.

We should go
search his locker.

Would you say that's
half empty or half full?

- Oh, my God.
- What is it?

It's the victim
from the alley.

We need to call homicide.

These photos
prove a definite link

between Lucas
and the murder victim.

Lucas moonlights
for extra money.

It's not against the law
or department policy.

That doesn't
explain these photos

turning up in his locker.

True.
I've known Lucas for years.

I can't believe
that he's a murderer.

I'll look into his alibi,

but you should know
we have another suspect.

- Who?
- It's confidential.

Let me remind you,
Detective,

Internal Affairs has authority

over every department
in this agency.

That includes Homicide.

Sorry, Lieutenant.

We're looking for a boyfriend

who neighbors witnessed
having a heated argument

with the victim the night
before she was murdered.

We don't have a name yet,
but we have a description,

and it ain't Lucas.

Then how do you explain his
behavior at the crime scene?

He's an alcoholic.

I've run into him
at A.A. meetings in the past.

My guess is
he was intoxicated.

Why didn't you tell that

to my detectives
at the crime scene?

I wasn't asked.

I could charge you with
impeding an I.A. investigation

for withholding
that information.

You want to charge me,
go ahead.

But being an alcoholic
doesn't make Lucas a murderer.

Hell, if that were the case,

half the C.P.D. should be
under an investigation.

Detective, you gonna look at
Lucas for this murder, or not?

Definitely.
I'm gonna get on that ASAP.

He's not
gonna follow through.

We'll make sure he does.

Stay on Lucas.
See what else you can find.

Hey.

Hey.
What are you doing over here?

Have to file
some paperwork with H.R.

SWAT looks good on you.

Thanks.

You liking it?

Yeah. Love it.

You okay?

Seem a little off.

It's this case.

I saw these photos, and I
cannot get them out of my head.

Crime scene photos.

Yeah.
There's this one...

Do you remember that Christmas
where we didn't get any toys?

We always got toys.

No, there was one Christmas
where all we got was clothes.

Oh, right. Yeah.

That was the Christmas
that you cried

because you couldn't
get some stupid football.

It wasn't just any football.

It was a 1985
Bears NFC Champions

commemorative football.

I still can't believe
I didn't get it.

Yeah, well,
no one got toys.

I got to go.

Lucas.

Heard you were
looking for me.

Are you okay?

Yeah...

Detective, I'm Lucas'
union rep, Oscar Phelps.

And you came prepared.

I moonlight for extra money.

Took these photographs
for Brenda's portfolio.

So you admit you knew her?

Yeah.

I freaked out when I saw her
at the crime scene.

It was so...

It was so surreal
seeing her like that.

Take your time, Lucas.

I have to disassociate
myself from the victims

in order to do my job.

I can't think of them
as people

who were living and breathing
a few hours prior.

When was the last time
you saw her?

I can't remember.

Do you remember
when you took these photos?

I can't say.

You can't say,
or you won't?

My memory
isn't what it used to be.

Do you recall
where you were last night

between 10:00 p.m.
and midnight?

Don't answer that.

I'm confused, Detective.

We came here to discuss
the altercation

between Mr. Givens and his
colleague at the crime scene.

Why are you asking my client
about a murder?

He knew the victim.

In a professional manner.

Now, if Mr. Givens is
a suspect in her homicide,

I'll advise him not to answer
any more questions

until a lawyer's present.

So how would you
like to proceed?

Lucas, why did you
assault the criminalist?

He made a joke
about Brenda.

It was inappropriate.

I got angry.

Why did you
flee the crime scene

after the altercation?

I'd been drinking
before I arrived.

I...

I have a problem.

Which Mr. Givens
is addressing

by voluntarily
admitting himself

into a 30-day rehab program.

His health
is our main priority,

so unless you have
reason to hold him,

he'll be available
post-treatment.

I want to see the photos

he took of Brenda Ortiz's
crime scene pre-treatment.

I don't have 'em.

I lost the camera.

When?

Don't know.

I think I might have left it
at the crime scene.

I wa--I wasn't thinking.

Did you file
a property loss report

with the department?

It was my personal camera.

If there's nothing else...

Homicide's gonna
want to talk to him.

We'll head there now.

Rehab?

I've seen this bullshit tactic
a dozen times.

You know Lucas
has a drinking problem.

We found a bottle
in his locker.

We can connect him
to a homicide,

and now he decides to come clean
about his drinking problem?

You don't find that
convenient?

You saw the look
in his eyes.

The guy's a wounded animal.

He might be telling the truth
about the alcohol,

but he is definitely
hiding something.

We need to find that camera.

Fine. We'll get a warrant
and search his house.

See,
I can't even grow a fern.

He's raising an orchid.

This place is definitely
not what I expected.

That's some storm.

That's some rainbow.

Yeah, it's a lovely photo.
Shall we?

Oh, my God.
Abby.

What's up?

You find something?

This.

Shit.

You still think
he's harmless?

Where's Kowalski?

Trying to track down
Lucas' ex-wife.

What have we got?

Our victim's wedding dress

matches the dress
all four brides are wearing

in the crime scene photos,

and, like Brenda,
they're all stabbed in the back.

Not only that,
they're all photographed

at the same altar
in the exact same church.

You think we're dealing
with a serial killer?

Checked ViCAP.
No matches.

Do we know what church
these photos were taken at?

We're waiting to hear back.

What do we know
about the other victims?

We haven't been able
to match any of the brides

to actual murder victims yet.

But missing persons
is running a nationwide search

for any women matching
their descriptions.

These women all look alike.

They're all
young and beautiful.

I'm thinking they're
all models like Brenda.

And if we can track down
her modeling agency,

it might give us some clues
as to who these other women are.

Flores.
When?

Okay. Thanks.

- Lucas is on the run.
- What?

His union rep checked him
into rehab this afternoon.

He disappeared
shortly afterward.

I got to get on the horn.

He could be
in friggin' Canada by now.

We better track down
that modeling agency

before Lucas finds himself
another bride.

Abby and I'll talk
to the ex-wife.

She might know
where he would run.

I'm heading home
for the night.

You two should knock off.

We tracked down
the modeling agency,

left word for the manager.

Just waiting to hear back.

What about the ex-wife?

Abby?

Sorry.
What?

Lucas' ex-wife.
Did you get ahold of her?

Uh, yeah.

She's coming in
first thing in the morning.

Okay.
Have a good night.

You okay?

Yeah.
Just a bit tired.

I'll see you tomorrow?

Wait, you called me
all the way over here

just to talk about
Christmas '85?

Steve, you live
three blocks away.

Yeah,
with two kids and a wife

I'd like to spend
some time with.

This will take five minutes

if you just focus
and tell me what you remember.

When is Richie coming back?

I already talked to Richie.
He doesn't remember anything.

Neither do I.

Steve. Come on.

All we got was clothes,
no toys.

Wait, okay.

Was that the year that Santa

pinned all those
dollar bills to the tree?

I think that was mom,
actually.

Duh.

Come on. Do you know
why we didn't get any toys?

Probably
'cause dad was sick.

I mean, he was the one
who always got all the toys.

Dad was sick?

Yeah, he, uh--
I think he had the flu.

It wasn't the flu.

What was it?

He was depressed.

Why didn't anyone
ever say anything?

Well, it was
25 years ago, honey.

What happened?

All I know is

your father went
Christmas shopping after work,

but he came home empty-handed.

And he crawled into bed,

and he stayed there
for three days.

I could barely get him
to eat or drink anything,

let alone talk.

He never told you
what happened?

No, he never did.

And I asked him several times.
In the beginning.

But he said he just
couldn't talk about it.

So I--I felt
the best thing to do

is just to back off
and wait until he could.

But he never did.

When my son Matthew was six,

Lucas disappeared with him
for two days.

When they came back,

Lucas couldn't remember

where they'd been
or what they'd done.

And that's when we left.

Did Lucas ever abuse you
or your son?

No.
He wasn't that kind of drunk.

He wasn't angry.
He was despondent.

He'd disappear
into the bottle.

It was scary,
but he never hurt us.

Why did you
return all his letters?

'Cause I love Lucas.

And I knew if I didn't
cut him off completely,

we'd end up back together,

and that's not the kind of life
I wanted for my son.

Did your son know Lucas was
trying to get in touch with him?

He thought
his father was dead.

So you lied to him.

I protected him.

And if what you're saying
about Lucas is true,

then I was right
in what I did.

We're gonna need to speak
with your son right away.

I told you everything
you wanted to know.

Why drag him into this?

Lucas is on the run.

There's a chance he may
reach out to your son.

That's impossible.

Matthew's in Afghanistan
with the army.

The army.

How old is Matthew?

21.

So Lucas hasn't
seen his son in 15 years?

Um, hi.
Is Abby working tonight?

Is she here?

Uh, excuse me.

Could you tell me
why you called me down here?

You're freaking me out.

What?

You took your dad's file?

I know.
I didn't mean to.

It was just there.

In the women's bathroom?

No, in the file cabinet.

- Under "K."
- Abby.

Well, I--I was
looking through the cabinet

for a suspect's file,
and I realized

I have access
to my entire family.

Uh-oh. I don't like
where this is going.

Neither do I, which is why
I haven't opened it yet.

Wait, is this because you
didn't get toys on Christmas?

No.
Well, yeah, kind of.

You don't understand my dad.
He loves Christmas.

He's a bigger kid
than we are.

And for him to lie in bed
for three days and miss it,

something had
to happen to him.

Okay, but, Abby, you and your
dad are finally speaking again.

If he finds out
you took his file...

I know. I know.

I just--the answers
to my questions are in here.

Yeah, and ones
that you don't want to know.

Abby, you coming?

Yeah, I'll just be a sec.

Hey.

Hey.

Are you home for lunch?

I've been craving
your chicken salad.

How's your day going?

What are you working on?

Loan application
for my bake shop.

It's, uh, so overwhelming,

all this little detail.

You have to have
a degree in marketing

just to get through it.

Yeah,
paperwork is never fun.

How do you handle it?

I make a rookie do it.

Well, seeing as
I don't have a rookie,

you have any other
brilliant ideas?

What if I help you?

- Really?
- Sure.

Just as soon
as I make myself a sandwich.

You want one?

Sure.

So how is your day going?

You really want to know?

Only if you
want to tell me.

Still thinking
about retiring?

Me? Are you crazy?

I'd go nuts sitting around
this house all day.

They're gonna have
to drag me off the street.

All right, ladies,
let's get up on stage, please.

Do you sexually harass
all your models,

or just the underage ones?

She's 18, and "harass"

isn't the word
she just whispered into my ear,

but it's not
that I have to explain--

Detective Flores
and Kowalski.

Oh. Well, how can I help
you stunning ladies?

Are you, uh,
thinking of a career change?

We have some questions
about Brenda Ortiz.

Oh. What, is she in some kind
of trouble or something?

She was found dead yesterday.

How?

She was murdered.

Oh, my God.

I just saw her.

I just spoke to her
two days ago.

She was on her way
to a photo shoot.

Was this the photo shoot

with a photographer
named Lucas Givens?

Yeah.
Did he do this?

You know, I knew she
shouldn't have taken that job.

Why do you say that?

'Cause the guy was cagey.

I mean, I didn't like him

the moment he stepped
into the agency.

He made Brenda sign this
confidentiality agreement

telling her not to discuss

any of the details
of the photo shoot.

Is that normal
in your business?

Some high-end designers
do it

when they're trying to keep
a new label under wraps.

I just assumed
that's what the job was.

So you have no idea

what was supposed to happen
on this photo shoot?

No, I wasn't even
allowed on the set.

I mean, hell, I--I didn't even
know where it was.

I recognize her.

Who, Tanya?

Yeah,
her face is everywhere.

She's one of
the dead brides.

Lucas is recreating
a crime scene

he photographed in Saint
Oswald's several years ago.

So the brides in the photos
are models?

Tanya identified
several of them.

We confirmed they're alive.

We're waiting to hear back
about the others.

So if the models
in the photos are all alive,

how'd she end up dead?

Maybe Lucas' obsession
about the crime scene

escalated into actually
carrying out the crime,

or our victim
did something to upset him.

Maybe she refused to go through
with the photo shoot.

Well, that would explain

why we didn't find photos
of her in the church.

Abby's gone to the church
to talk to the priest.

You think the priest
knows what Lucas is up to?

Someone had to give him
access to the sanctuary.

I've been ministering
to Lucas for 15 years.

I can assure you
he's no killer.

Well, there's an entire police
department hunting him down

as though he is.

If what you're saying is true,
I need your help,

because Lucas' life
may depend on it.

Lucas struggles
with pretty severe demons.

Alcohol being one of them.

What's another?

Post-traumatic
stress disorder.

Brought on by photographing
the crime scene in your parish.

That's correct.

I know about
the crime scene.

What I don't know
is why he's recreating it.

The memories we fear
are the ones that haunt us.

By reliving
the crime scene,

he's facing his fear
head on?

It's a therapy of sorts.

It seemed to be helping him.

And when it didn't,
what would he do?

He would pray.

Is your church open now?

Our doors are always open.

Thank you, father.

Lucas?

Are you okay?

Do you believe the saying
that a bullet never lies?

What are you talking about?

They say that
a bullet never lies.

Lucas, what are you doing
with that gun?

They say if you load a single
bullet into the chamber,

spin the cylinder,
put the gun to your head,

pull the trigger,

the bullet won't judge you.

If you're guilty, bang.

What if you're innocent?

Click.

You live another day.

Like Russian Roulette.

One bullet...

One chance for the truth.

What truth
are you looking for?

I need to know
if I killed Brenda.

Lucas,
put the gun down.

I need to know the truth.

She was such a sweet girl.

Whatever happened to Brenda,
it wasn't your fault.

How do you know that?

I know you didn't kill
the other brides.

But you don't know
if I killed Brenda.

I don't know
what happened to Brenda,

but I don't think you did it.

You have too much
of a big heart, Lucas.

You feel too much for life.

And, more importantly,

a Bears fan could never do
something like that, right?

So much pain, so much
ugliness inside my brain.

I just want
to pull it all out, end it.

God. No more nightmares,
no more sleepless nights,

no more death.

You can do that, Lucas.

You can take your life.

But then the storm wins.

What are you talking about?

I saw your photograph
in your apartment.

The rainbow surrounded
by storm clouds?

That's what it's like,
isn't it?

A war in your mind?

Stood on the roof of the old
Porter building for three hours

during a thunderstorm
waiting to take that shot.

I was sure I was gonna
get struck by lightning.

What happened?

The rain stopped,
the clouds parted,

and that rainbow appeared.

I know my job.
This won't cloud my judgment.

I can't take that risk.

There's a civilian in there.

Along with my sister.

Which is exactly why
I'm ordering you to stand down.

This is bullshit.

She's my sister.

I should have her back.
No one else.

You can either sit this one
out like a professional,

or do it in the back
of a squad car.

You're up. If he makes
one threatening move, pull.

Sir.

Sergeant.

Take it easy.
I know your daughter's in there.

Sending in the TAC team?

I haven't
determined that yet.

What the hell
are you waiting for?

Look, I've already ordered
your boy to stand down.

Now you're welcome to observe,

but if you don't
stay out of my way,

you'll be doing it
behind the yellow tape.

That's my daughter in there.

We're going to get her out.

Will you give me the gun,
Lucas?

No.
I still don't know the truth.

I still don't know
if I killed Brenda.

What do you remember
from that night?

Last thing I remember,

she was lying on the altar
in the wedding dress.

I was taking photos.

I woke up in the morning,
I got called to the job,

and there she was
in the alley.

Why weren't her photos in
the portfolio with the others?

They're still in my camera.

Well, the answers
may be in those photos, Lucas.

If you put the gun down,

we can figure it out together.

Hello.

Sheila.

What's wrong?

It's Abby.

What happened?

Well,
I need you to stay calm.

Tell me what happened.

Well, we don't know
what's going on,

but it looks like
she's in the middle

of a hostage situation
at a church.

What is she doing in there?

I don't know, but I promise you
we're gonna get her out.

What church?

- Sheila.
- What church?

I need you to promise me
you won't come down here.

What church?

Saint Oswald's.

What happened?

Your mother's on her way.

I care
because someone I love

went through what
you're going through now.

P.T.S.D.?

I don't know.

He wasn't affected
the way you are,

but something
definitely happened.

Will you help me, Lucas?

How?

Well, you can start by telling
me why that crime scene

affected you the way it did.

It wasn't the crime.
It was the place.

The church?

When I was a boy,
I was usually left alone.

Sometimes I'd wake up
from a nightmare.

I'd get so scared.

I'd sneak out of the house,

slip into the church
down the street,

curl up under one of the pews
and fall asleep.

It was the only place
in my world that felt safe.

Until that day.

When you saw the dead bride
at the original crime scene?

She looked so beautiful.

Like an angel
asleep at the altar.

I didn't even see the knife
sticking out of her back.

Why do you care
what happens to me?

Hey.
That was Richard.

He's trying to get
the next flight back home.

Have you talked to mom?

Something's happening.

What's going on?

Your daughter is standing
in the line of fire.

She's purposely blocking
the sniper shot.

You got to send in
the TAC team.

Sergeant, get these men
out of my A.O.

You can't do that.

Watch me.

Dad, dad, dad, no.

Hey. Hey.

Back off.
Back off.

Take it easy.

You still have a son, Lucas.

He doesn't want anything
to do with me.

That's because
up until a few hours ago

he thought you were dead.

What are you talking about?

Your ex-wife lied to him.

Matthew didn't know anything
about your letters.

All these years
she kept him away from me?

She lied to you.
She lied to me.

Matthew is in the army.

She said he was off serving
in Afghanistan.

He's been back for a week.

He's a soldier?

And he's your son.

He wants to see you.

Maybe Irene was right.

He's a grown man, Lucas.

He can make that decision
on his own.

Please, give your son
a chance to know you.

Sorry!
I'm so sorry!

Abby.

You all right?

I'm okay.

What are you thinking,
tackling a guy with a gun?

You ever try something
like that again,

I'll shoot you myself.

Thank God that bullet
went through a window

and not your head.

Do you think they'll make me
pay for the window?

Well, couple of
"our fathers" should do it.

Sorry to interrupt.
We need that camera.

Uh, yeah. I'll meet you
back at the office.

Where's dad?

He, uh, he went inside.

Okay.

Dad.

I was just thanking
St. Michael for protecting you.

Oh.

Which is no easy task.

What were you thinking?

He needed help.

He was hurting,
and I was there.

Heard you were asking
about Christmas '85.

Did St. Michael
tell you that?

No.
Heard it from another Saint.

Mom.

Why didn't you just ask me?

Would you have told me?

Depends on the reason
for wanting to know.

I guess
I was worried about you.

Well, that's not your job.
That's mine.

Where does it say a daughter
can't worry about her father?

It doesn't.
It's just an unwritten rule.

Fathers do all the worrying.

Then tell me.
So I'll stop.

It was Christmas Eve.

I was picking up
your gifts after work,

and I came upon an accident.

There was a little girl

not much older than you

pinned under a car.

I tried,
but I--I couldn't get her out.

I wanted to run and get help,

but she was so scared
that I couldn't leave her.

So I stayed,

and I held her hand,

and I told her
it was gonna be okay.

But I was lying.

It wasn't gonna be okay,

and there wasn't a damn thing
I could do about it.

It wasn't your fault.

I know.

But I realized
at that moment

how helpless I was.

That all of my training,

all of my strength

couldn't save
that little girl.

It shook me up
for a long time.

And now?

Are you okay?

Honey, we're cops.

We see things every day

that most people
never see in a lifetime.

We all have our vices.

Mine are your mother
and you kids.

If anything ever happened
to one of you...

Abby?

Sorry.
They need to debrief you.

I have to go.

Your mother's on her way.

She'll be upset
if she doesn't see you.

Tell her I'm okay.

I'll stop by the house later.

These are the photos
from Lucas' camera.

You recognize him?

It's Brenda's manager,
Rick Rose.

He was there at the church
the night she was murdered.

But he claimed he didn't even
know where the photo shoot was.

Well, it turns out he was the
boyfriend we were looking for.

And he killed her?

Confessed an hour ago.

Said it was a lover's quarrel.

Apparently he followed her home
after the photo shoot,

and they got into a real
knock-down, drag-out.

That was the fight
the neighbors overheard.

He started
threatening her.

He grabbed the knife
from the kitchen.

She tried to run.

Caught her outside,
stabbed her,

and dumped her body
in the alley.

So Lucas
is innocent after all.

Your instincts were correct.

Does this mean
we'll get treated better

when we show up to one
of your crime scenes again?

Not likely.

But I look forward
to working with you

in homicide someday.

I need that report.

What?

You really gonna leave me
for homicide?

Well,
you could come with me.

You know,
keep the partnership going?

What good is Starsky
without Hutch?

Wait, I'm starsky
and you're hutch.

Oh, come on.
There is no way

you could slide across the hood
of a car with that bump.

For your information,

sliding across
the hood of a car

is exactly
how I got this bump.

What?

Yeah, car wash day
at the Flores house.

Squirt guns,
wet T-shirts, hot wax.

It's, you know, how we keep
the fun in the marriage.

Someday you'll understand.

Okay.

Can I help you?

Yes, ma'am.

I'm looking
for Detective Kowalski.

I'm Detective Kowalski.

Did you just
call me "Ma'am"?

- Hi.
- Hi.

I'm Matthew Givens.

I'm, uh, Lucas' son.

Oh, Matthew.
I'm so happy to meet you.

I'm glad you're here.

Your father has a tough road
ahead of him.

Well, he won't
be doing it alone.

I'll be with him
every step of the way.

I'm glad.

Actually came here to, uh,

to thank you
for saving his life

and giving me a chance
to have my father back.

I was just doing my job.

I heard what you did.

I heard that you put yourself
in the line of fire.

Where I come from,
that makes you a hero.

No.
You guys are the heroes.

Out there every day,

risking your lives
to keep us safe?

Thank you.

I appreciate that.
Thank you.

Ma'am.

"Ma'am."
I hate that.

You okay?

Tough day.

Mom? You here?

Abby.

I went to the church.
You weren't there.

I know. I'm sorry.
Didn't dad tell you?

Yes,
but it's not the same.

I needed to see you
for myself

to see you're okay.

I'm okay.

When you joined I.A.,

I told myself I had
one less kid to worry about.

And then to get this call--

Abby, promise me you will never
do anything like this again.

Mom, I can't.

I'm a cop.
I took an oath.

Why didn't I
marry a plumber?
