You know, I want to be
one of those people that spends

their sunny days laying
out at the beach.

We're at the shore,
aren't we?

Yeah, but we're
in the wrong kind of suits.

What do you got?

A floater.

A floater. Great.

What's your least favorite thing
on the job besides floaters?

Well, that's number two.

I think ripe ones
are worse.

Yeah. I guess
pedophiles, for me.

Mine's headless floaters.

Headless floaters?
Yeah.

You find the body?
Yeah,

I was on a foot post
and he was right over there,

near the rocks.

The head wash up?
Not yet.

Any visible wounds
or bullet holes?

Not that I could see.

It's gonna be a bitch
to determine cause of death

without the head.

I think the tattoo
says it all.

The Black Hand.

Mexican Mafia.

Yeah. Mexican Mafia.

600 square feet.

You've got east view, hmm?

And you're right next
to the elevator.

Nice, huh?

Yeah. Absolutely.
But why are you...

This is your new office, Erin.

I'm promoting you
to bureau chief.

Congratulations.

W...

I guess I have to ask.

Is this because of Monica?

Why does that matter?
Well, she was

my friend and she was murdered

and it just feels weird to just...
- Keep going?

That's life, Erin.

There's no room for
sentimentality in this office.

Meaning?
Everyone knows

you got two brothers on
the job, your father's PC,

you're sympathetic
to law enforcement.

I have always followed
the letter of the law.

I have no doubt.

But I just want you to know

that people will be watching you
more closely

than they ever have before.

People?

Me.

Let me know if
you need anything.

Actually...

...I'd like to stay
in my office,

and I'd like to keep Anthony
ABETEMARCO as my investigator.

- There's that sentimentality creeping in.
- It's just

the geography I'm used to.

Have it your way.

And...

thank you.

Very much.

Of course.

And the final item is the fallen
heroes dinner with the mayor.

It's now moved
to the 15th.

Anybody home?

My son Jamie

and his partner Eddie
got engaged this weekend.

Whoa! Good for them!
Congratulations!

Great!

That's great!
Thank you.

Thank you very much.

And it is their plan

to still keep riding together
as partners.

Oh.

Boy, that's a problem.

It is?

Why?

Why? A million good reasons.

First of all,
it's against regulations.

Well, technically, it's not.

There's nothing in the book
forbidding it.

Really?

Really.

Well, there ought to be.

If you feel that strongly,

why not just issue
an interim order against it?

Draw one up, Sid.

- Hey! Uh, please...
- What's going on with this guy?

Someone! Hey, we
got a problem here!

Maybe he just had dinner
with his fiancée's family.

How many times
we got to do this?

I'll let you know. Hey, hey!
Hey, hey!

- Officers, officers, please, please, in here!
- All right, all right. Get back,

- get back, get back.
- Help me!

Stay back, stay back!
Stay back, stay back!

Hey.
Okay, ma'am, ma'am.

Help me, please!
Take it easy.
All right, all right.

Stay calm.

- Help me!
- Ma'am, stay low! Get back!

- You need to stay calm, okay?
- Step back! Get down! I'm calling an engine.

We got you, okay?

Central, 12 David, we got a 59
at a residential building.

Wait for FD. I'll be right back.

Like hell.

Help me!

Stay inside,
sir! Get back!

Okay, I'm going back.

I'm gonna get the woman.

I got Grandpa.

Okay, meet right back here.

Okay.

Hello?!

Hello?! Hey! Hey!

Is anybody in here?

Anybody else back here?

Anybody back here?!

Hey! Hey!

Anybody back here? Ma'am!

Help me.

Ma'am, I got you.
Hey, I got you, I got you.

All right, we're walking out
of here. Can you stand?

Can you walk?

All right,
just hold on to me, okay?

We're leaving. I got you.

Okay, stay with me.

Watch your step.

Hold on to me.

Anybody else back here?!

Anybody else in here?

- No, no.
- Hey, Eddie!

I'm right behind you!

All right, let's go!

Eddie.

Sir, are you okay?
Eddie!

Eddie!
Come on.

Come on, let's go.
Eddie!

Hey! Hey!
My partner's inside.

We'll get your partner.

My partner's inside.

We'll get your partner.

Hey! Hey, hey!

Got the door.

We need help!

- We got him, we got him, we got him.

We got you, we got you.
Okay.

- Yeah.
- Hey!

You're an ass!

What'd you say?

The hell's wrong with you, huh?

Jamie.

- Back off!
-Jamie!

Come on, come on!
Back off!

Get over here.

What's that about?

Nothing, nothing. It's nothing.

Hey, him.

- Let's talk to him. Come on.
- Hey. We didn't get your name earlier.

- What's your name?
- Hey.

Justin Mathews.

Is everyone out?
Did everyone get out?

You know how this fire
got started?

Please. I need to know. Did...

did everyone get out?

I-I think so, but we don't know

everyone that lives
in that building yet.

You smell like gasoline, Justin.

That hand looks
like it's pretty burned up.

No one was supposed
to be in there.

Is that why you started
this fire, because there wasn't

supposed to be anyone in there?

You almost got us all killed!

- All right, all right. Hey.
- I didn't know.

Give me the bag.
You're under arrest for arson.

I didn't know.

Hands behind your back.

Give me the bag.

Give me the bag.
The backpack.

Hey. Am I gonna find
anything in here, Justin?

- No.
- I'm gonna take it easy,

but I got to cuff you up,
all right?

Are you sure it was Manny?

Yes, we're sure.
The M.E. used a DNA kit

to identify the body.

Any idea who killed him?

I have no idea.

Can I go now?

No. Sit down.

Look, why don't

you stop with the innocent
victim routine, okay?

We know he bought
and sold drugs.

We know he was a member
of the Mexican Mafia.

You look at a couple of tattoos
and you've got all the answers?

That's why cops are dicks.

Okay.

Well, why don't
you enlighten us.

So I end up like Manny,
floating down the East River?

Floating down the East River
with a severed head.

Don't forget that part.

Just stop!

You do realize that
your son or daughter,

when they grow up,
is gonna want to know

what happened to
their dad, right?

Manny was a drug runner.

But when I got pregnant,
he wanted out of that life.

Manny's uncle
even hooked him up with a job

at the carpenters union.

Then, a few days ago,
Manny gets a text

that the cartel wants him

to deliver 40 kilos of cocaine

from a ship container
in Red Hook up to a stash house

in the Bronx.

Manny turned
that job down.

You don't turn
those kind of jobs down.

What cartel?

What cartel?

Mano Sangriento.

You know who it was
who reached out to him?

Manny always kept those things
from me.

But there's a man.

He's in the gang, and he's...

the hit man
for one of the cartels.

This guy have a name?

La Pantera.

The Panther?

Because he sneaks up behind you

without a sound,

and he's lethal.

You're facing serious
felony charges, Justin.

There was two family
members in that building

at the time of the fire.

One of them is in critical
condition-- a grandpa.

- N-No, no.
- Oh, you're so concerned

about him,
why'd you set the fire

in the first place?

'Cause he said
no one was in there.

Who's he?

Who said?!

No one.

But you just said,
he said no one was in there.

I want a lawyer.

Get up. Let's go.

The Panther wasn't

in the system, by the way.

Because he doesn't
have a record.

His real name
is Luis Delgado.

How do you know?

I just got off the phone
with a friend from the DEA.

Delgado's on
their radar, too.

A friend at the DEA?

This wouldn't happen
to be the friend

you were dating
from the DEA,

the one with the
Mustang, would it?

- Might be him.
- Oh, my God.

You're back together
with that clown?

No, but I do miss
that Mustang.

- Oh.
- Danny.

No. Hey, date whoever
you want. I don't care.

Come on. I know the look.

According to the DEA,

Delgado's the one
that set your house on fire.

The commissioner is waiting
for you in his office.

Oh, you don't have
to do all that.

Sit down,
Officer Reagan.

I know you have reservations
about me riding with Eddie.

A little more than reservations.

But as you've pointed out,

there's nothing
in the book that says you can't.

- That's right.
- There is

one thing the book says
has to happen, though.

Our C.O. has to be informed.

And has been?

Haven't had the opportunity.

Then find one.

Or you want me to?

No, I'll tell him.
We'll tell him.

Forthwith.

I promise you...
my riding with Eddie

won't affect my performance
on the job.

Why'd you get into it
with the firefighter today?

I was going back in
for my partner.

- Your fiancée.
- Partner. As I would for any partner.

Come on, Jamie. Don't lawyer me.

I'm not lawyering you.

Yeah, you are.

There's nothing on the books
about riding with a fiancée.

That's a fact.
I'm asking you

to trust me, trust us.

No, you're asking me
to bend the rules for you.

There are no rules, Dad!

There isn't a commanding officer

in this city
who would keep two people

who are engaged to be married
as partners.

You know that.

- I don't know that, no.
- That's why you haven't told your C.O.

Why can't you just trust
my judgment?

You're the commissioner's son,
and you are waiting

for me to make
an exception for you.

That's not true.

So I look the other way,
you get married,

the two of you get taken out
in the same action.

What do you want me
to do with your kids?

Aah.

Congratulations
on your promotion.

Thank you.

You really came all the way
down here just to tell me that?

Absolutely.

Not. Why don't you
tell me why

you're really here.
Because God knows

everyone in this family has
an ulterior motive

for just about everything.

I just wanted to know what's
going on with Justin Mathews.

The tenant,

Mr. Fowler, the grandfather,

died of smoke inhalation,

so the charges
against Justin

are being bumped up
to murder two and arson.

You can't charge him
with murder.

I can,

and I have.
Whether he thought

the building was empty or not
is irrelevant, Jamie.

It's a felony murder.

In commission of an arson,

he caused a death.

I think
someone put him up to it.

What are you talking about?

At least give us a chance,

before you charge him
with murder, to look into it.

Okay, see, this is what
you and Danny don't understand.

I can't just trust your gut
every time you walk in here.

I've got a guy
who admits to lighting

a building on fire, I've got
evidence that proves that.

I can't just sit on that.
You can charge him with arson.

Uh...

That's enough to hold him,
and it'll give us six days

before you have to indict him.

I cannot play around
with murder charges

because my baby brother
has a hunch!

- Thank you.
- Ugh!

My detail ready?

There's a ten-minute delay.

For what?

Me.

Okay.

Look, you're married to a cop.
What do you think?

That it's not the issue here.
We're not partnered on the job.

Thank you.

Okay, what do you think
of the issue here?

I think an interim order
prohibiting partners

from having
a romantic relationship,

coming from you, is a mistake.

Because?

I know you know
the answer to that.

Because I'd be
singling out my son

as much as if
I looked the other way.

Exactly.

Maybe tell Sid
to put a pin in that?

No maybe. And the moment
I'm back at my desk.

But...

there is no way,
no way you are saying

couples riding together
is a good idea?

There's a lot of valid reasoning
in forbidding it.

Thank you.

But maybe to Jamie's
side, there's also

no data or evidence,
much less an actual rule.

It's just a tradition.

Some traditions are born
of common sense.

Yes, like Catholic priests
being forbidden to marry,

because common sense tells us

you couldn't possibly
tend the flock unless

your personal life
was utterly devoid

of the comforts of human touch
and companionship.

Not the same thing, Abigail.

No, it's not the same thing,

but it's not
that distant a cousin, either.

Tell my detail I'm ready.

Yes, sir.

Yeah. I got it. Thanks.

Sauerkraut,

onions, mustard and ketchup.

Thank you.

So, uh, what exactly
does this bump mean?

Well, I'll be supervising
50 attorneys,

and more time with the D.A.,

and any big press case--
it will go through me.

That's great.

Yeah, and you will be
exclusive to me.

That's like hundreds
of cases, Erin.

I can't handle that on my own.

Let me tell you something.

I've been with the D.A.'s office
for 15 years,

and I have a lot
of acquaintances,

and a lot of coworkers,

and there's only one person
I truly trust, and that's you.

- How's that kale?
- What do they do?

Mow a lawn, rake it up and pour
dressing on it? This is brutal.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

Congrats on
the promotion.

I need a warrant.

I'm fine. And you?

For what and who?

Luis Delgado.

He's the guy
who set my house on fire.

How do you know?

I know because a witness said

that a drug runner and hit man
from Mano Sangriento

nicknamed "Panther,"
AKA Luis Delgado,

set a cop's house on fire
last year.

We also have
reason to believe

that this is the same person
who killed Manuel Sanchez.

That's the floater.

Exactly.

Has that been ruled a homicide?

No. Without the head,
it's technically

"Causes Undetermined
Pending Police Investigation."

Until the M.E. rules it
a homicide,

I cannot give you a warrant
based on a hunch.

It's not a hunch.

And you know
that chopping off a guy's head

is the preferred method of
homicide of the Mexican Mafia.

Maybe it got severed
by a boat propeller.

Really?

It's possible.

Really?

I don't think

that's what happened, but...
- Exactly.

You gonna help me or not?

It cannot look
like I'm doing you favors.

The judge will never
sign off on it.

Right, because getting
a murderer off the street

would be doing a favor for me.

The facts don't add up, Danny.

No. You know what
doesn't add up is

that of all the times
that I've had to come here

and beg, plead and grovel,

it would be when I was
coming to get help

to catch the son of a bitch

who burned down the house
where my kids and my wife slept!

But I guess not.

Mr. Delgado?

We really can't come in
here without a warrant.

Door was open.

Somebody could be in danger.

It's clear.

Come on, take a look around.

Police! Don't move!

Don't move, or I'll blow your
brains all over that wall.

Get your hands up!

Now! Now!

Come on, get 'em up!

You okay, partner?

- I am now.
- You can't arrest me.

- I haven't broken any laws.
- Yeah, you did.

You assaulted a
police officer.

You didn't even
identify yourselves as cops.

I'm Detective
Daniel Reagan.

That ring a bell?

Let's go.

- You have no right to keep me here.
- Yeah, I do.

You assaulted
a police officer.

Now, sit down and shut up.

You guys came in my house
without a warrant even.

But I get it,

that's what you cops do:
you lie to get what you want.

You're known as the Panther.

I've never heard
that name before.

How about Manuel Sanchez?
You ever heard that name before?

- No.
- Where were you yesterday

between the hours
of 12:00 and 5:00?

I was home,
reading the penal code

so I know when my rights
are being violated.

You torched a cop's house
last year.

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

Fine, then you can write down
that you know nothing.

I'm gonna go get
a legal pad

and a pen.

Your house went up
like a stack of kindling.

My only regret:

that your family wasn't
in it at the time.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Cut it out!
Son of a bitch

just admitted
to burning my house down.

Knock it off!
He just admitted to torching my house!

- I didn't say anything.
- Yes, you did, you son of a bitch!

Danny, I told you,
we have to do everything

by the book on this one.

Did you admit to torching
Detective Reagan's house?

I never said that.

Yes, he did.
He's lying.

- Danny.
- We've already answered

the question about your
brother's house, Counselor.

Move on.

You attacked Detective Baez.

I thought she was a burglar.

Detective Baez and
Detective Reagan

were trespassing
on my client's property

without a
search warrant.

They did not identify
themselves as police.

Detective Reagan accosted him.

He murdered
Manuel Sanchez.

Oh. I'm sorry.

I missed the part where you
have any evidence of that.

I've had enough.
You cannot hold

my client with
no evidence against him

and an illegal search.

He has no priors.

We are not answering
any more questions.

A moment, Counselor.

It's your word against his.
Now, if you wanted

to interrogate him
about a murder,

you should have videotaped it
like you're supposed to.

Then we would have
a confession on tape.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Somebody was in the box,

so I had to talk to him
in the boss's office. - Okay.

What the hell's the difference?
- He admitted it! - Okay, fine!

Fine. I can't do anything
without a confession.

He did confess.

He told me he burned
down my house.

- Prove it.
- I don't have

to prove it; he admitted it!
- I cannot go

to the jury and ask them
to take your word for it.

- Yes, you can.
- No, I can't.

I will not be able to find
12 people in New York City

who is going to take
a cop's word

over a man who has no record.

Now, cut him loose.

What are we doing here?

- The detectives have the case. We can't...
- You know what?

I'm getting tired of people
telling me what I can't do.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, ma'am.
Do you know anything

about this building that burned
across the street?

All I know is that poor family
went through the mill.

How so?

Landlord used to turn off
the heat in the winter,

turn off their water
and electricity.

What about the other tenants?

The owner got rid
of all the other tenants.

They were the last holdouts.

He really
wanted them

to vacate
so he could sell the place.

That's a motive.

I talked to the prior tenants
who lived in the building.

They were all harassed
into vacating,

because the owner wanted
to sell the building.

The Fowler family were
the last holdouts.

Do we know anything
about the owner?

See, that's where
it gets interesting.

The building
is listed as an LLC

called Fergus Limited.

So I went to the
Buildings Department.

It's owned by
a Samuel Arpel,

who used to be married
to Linda Mathews.

Mathews?

She was pregnant
when he divorced her.

She had a boy
she named Justin.

They shared joint custody,

but he, uh... he kept
his mother's last name.

So the father put him up
to setting that fire?

It looks that way.

You think you can coax
him into coming in?

I can be very charming,
you know that.

I have no doubt.

Bless us, O Lord,
and these, Thy gifts,

which we are about to receive
from Thy bounty.

Through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

Eddie, would you like
any cornbread?

Yes. Thank you.

Eddie?

Hmm?

Welcome.

Thank you, Commissioner.

Frank.

Or "Dad."

So, do you cook?

Oh, me?

- Yeah.
- Uh, yeah.

But not like this.

This... is amazing.

Yeah, usually.

Just don't use your phone

or iPad at the table.

Or curse.

They hate it when you curse.

I'm pretty sure she
gets it already, guys.

Really looks great, Erin.
I love mashed potatoes.

Thanks. It's my
mom's recipe.

Do you have
any actual proof

that Mom actually
made these potatoes?

You know,

evidence?

- What?
- I'm just saying.

Danny.

Well, Dad, should we
just take Erin's word for it,

based on, uh,
I don't know, a hunch?

My word on mashed potatoes does
not need to hold up in court.

- Whatever.
- Well, from where I sit

at this table,
you can be accused

of breaking rules
that don't even exist.

If you're talking about what
I think you're talking about,

a rule can exist
without being in a book.

But breaking an
unwritten rule

is pretty hard
to prosecute, now.

Legally, yes.

But not practically.

All right,
let's everybody just...

take a step back.

It gets like this sometimes.

Not always, but...

sometimes.

Most of the time.

Maybe you want
to chime in, too, Pop,

about whether Eddie and I
should ride together,

about breaking rules that don't exist.
Jamie.

Jamie, I happen to agree
with your father.

Mixing romance and police work,
never a good idea.

Romance? Seriously?

Eddie, am I
romancing you at work?

I... Mm...

Because as far
as I could tell, all we're doing

is our jobs,
which is what we've always done.

All right, quit
being so sensitive.

Gramps is just sayin'.

- Who's calling who sensitive?
- Oh, so now I'm sensitive?

Why? Because I want
to see justice done?

Oh, and I don't?

No, you don't.

Not at the table.

Not my choice.

It's my victim's
girlfriend.

Reagan.

Hello? Melissa?

You okay?

I don't think she's okay.

And do you know why?

You son of a bitch.

Because you messed
with the wrong man.

Delgado...

We should have charged Delgado
when you had the chance.

- You know I couldn't.
-You could've and you should've.

This is really good.

What are the little green bits
in the mashed potatoes?

Is that parsley?

Mmm.

Really gives it a zing.

So, I thought family dinner

was more, like,
a warm family get-together

once a week--
catch up, break bread.

I didn't say we don't
disagree about stuff.

Disagree?

Don't you think
it's a little more serious

than just disagreeing?

We need to think
about not partnering together.

What?

It'll solve the problems
with your dad and...

Eddie, you don't want
to ride together anymore?

No, it's just your dad
clearly has a problem

with us riding together.

You can't just
cave every time

you don't agree with
somebody in my family.

And you can't ignore it
like this is gonna go away.

Do you really want to hide
the fact that we're engaged

from the department

and fight with your dad
just to ride together?

I thought that's
what we both wanted.

I just want you.

Jamie feels strongly

that since there are no rules,
they should ride together.

I know my son, Pop.

I know the reasoning part of him
would agree that riding together

became a handicap
when love and sex and all

got in the car with him.

And love and sex and all tends
to push reason out of the car.

So why is he being so stubborn?
What am I missing here?

More than usual.

You completely ignored
the "new haircut" protocol

when he brought her in
and broke the news.

What are you talking about?

Say Baker shows up

tomorrow morning with
a radical new haircut

that you think is terrible.

What do you say to her?

I don't know.

"I'm sorry, it'll grow out"?

- No.
- No?

You say, "Nice haircut.
You look great."

I do?

Because what's done is done.

All you can do
now is be kind.

Look, I'm happy for Jamie,
I'm happy for Eddie.

But in the moment,

you took their news
like a bad haircut.

You went straight
to what was wrong

about them riding together.

And that's gonna take
some time to fade away.

Anything else I'm missing?

That we have another
cop in our family.

That we now have another
reason to stop our hearts

when we hear "officer down"
go out over the radio.

I'm sorry.

Not your fault.
Warrant or no warrant,

I should have had a radio
car sitting on her place.

Come on, Danny. Her boyfriend
was part of Mano Sangriento.

She knew the danger going in.

Yeah, well, now this guy's
got two bodies on him,

and I got nothing.

I got no hair, no fibers,
no DNA, no witnesses.

Well, Delgado is smart,
and he knows the law,

which is why
he's never been caught,

so we need to be smarter.

What do you mean "we"?
What are you getting at?

Well, we don't have him
on the murders,

but Melissa said
Sanchez was killed

because he refused to do a drug run.
- Right.

So, what if we intercept
the next exchange,

get him on drugs?

- I mean, it's something.
-Well, that's great,

except I don't know
where it's going down,

when it's going down,

I got no way to find out
how it's going down.

Here's a warrant
for the text messages

on Delgado's cell phone
after the murders.

Get to work.

Black Escalade just pulled in.

Two males in front.

Silver Tahoe just pulled in.

It's him.

That's Delgado.

Move on my command.

Go. Go!

Go, go, go!

Police! Get
on the ground!

Put your hands in
the air right now!

You heard me!

Get on the ground with
your hands in the air!

Right now!

On the ground!

Get 'em up.
Keep 'em up.

Gotcha, kitty-cat.

- What you think.
- That's what I know.

- No, you don't have that kind of luck.
- How's that?

First, her house burns up,
then her chopper goes down?

That's some pretty bad mojo
you're carrying around.

Get him on his feet.

Turn him around.

You're a real
funny guy, Delgado.

Turn around.

We appreciate
your cooperation, sir.

You're free to go.

What are you talking about?

We're done here,
but we couldn't

have pulled it off without you,
so thanks for the help.

What are you talking about?
What are you doing, huh?

We're done here.

See you later.

Yeah, that's right.

Yup.

- You know what you're doing?
- Hope so.

You had him. You
just let him walk.

Hey, everyone hates
a snitch, right?

We just got a confession.

Nice work, Counselor.

I knew he would fold
in order to protect his kid.

In my experience,
most dads, even criminals,

would do anything
to protect their kids.

Something you
want to say?

The only reason why Dad doesn't
want you riding with Eddie

is because he's afraid
that will put you in danger.

He's not worried
about department policy.

He's worried
about your safety.

I just wish sometimes
he'd cut me some slack.

Well...

maybe you should
cut him a little.

I called the desk.

They said a supervisor
is on the way.

It looks like there's
a wallet in his pocket,

but I didn't want to check for
I.D. until the M.E. got here.

It's all right.

Pretty sure we know
who it is anyway.

Delgado?

Good a guess as any.

You okay?

Nothing is ever over.

You know, if there's one thing
I've learned in the last year--

closure's overrated.

This was meant for
your new office.

Well, it will look good
in this one.

Oh. How about over here?

Ah. Yeah.

Perfect.

I saw the DD-5s
for Mano Sangriento.

You applied

for a warrant
for Delgado's phone.

- And the judge signed it.
- And when the drugs

were intercepted, six Sangriento
members were arrested,

the seventh went free.

It was my understanding

that Detective Reagan and Baez
were hoping

Delgado would lead them

to someone higher
in the food chain.

Well, that's a theory.

Another is that
it gave the impression

that he was cooperating
with the police,

which led to his execution.

Or he was executed
because he was a drug runner,

and a hit man
most of his adult life.

What do cops call that?

Public service homicide?

Something like that.

Don't overwater it.

That is the mistake
most people make.

If you keep the balance
just right,

they last a lot longer.

I will keep that in mind.

And thank you very much.

Good night, Erin.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Good stuff.

Yeah. You owe me 68 bucks.

- I do?
- Yeah.

It's a congratulations present
from you to me.

Look, Jamie...

I couldn't be more thrilled
for you and Eddie.

If somehow you got
the idea that...

No, not congratulations
about that.

Okay.

Did you know that they, uh,
posted the results

for the sergeants exam today?

Oh, yeah. I think
it's on my desk somewhere.

But you didn't look
at the scoreboard?

This about Eddie?

She did okay, but, uh, no.

It's about me.

Number one.

You took it?

Yeah, I took it, and I...
I came out on top.

Why didn't you tell me?

With what we were going
through over it?

Well, maybe it could've saved us
both some pushing and shoving.

Yeah, but maybe
you would've thought

that I took it
on account of the pushing,

which would've been
a feather in your cap,

one I didn't feel
like giving you.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

You know, you don't have
to accept the promotion.

It is your choice.

And mine alone.

Yes.

I'm taking the promotion.

And you know...

that means
you can't ride with Eddie.

You know that, right?

I know that, yeah,
and so does she.

So, does that mean
that I have your blessing?

I couldn't be happier for you.

I'm not talking
about the promotion.

Neither am I.
