Please, I dont want to see those men again.

I understand...

They said theyd kill me

if I ever talked about what happened.

Thats not going to happen...

She said no.

If youll just hear me out, Mr. Hill...

I-Ive heard enough; shes 16 years old

and shes been through hell.

Im taking her back to Chicago.

I know its difficult...

Shes not testifying.

(sighs)

I dont blame her old man for being pissed.

The sex trafficking laws say the victims must appear in court

to prove they were coerced by the defendants.

Thats crazy.

47 other states agree with you.

Check out the other victims?

Yeah, theyre in even worse shape.

This girls our best shot.

Run the case again.

These animals arent gonna walk.

(camera shutter clicking)

Come on.

Okay.

Deals done. We got our guy.

Lets pick him up.

We got company.

It looks like one of ours.

You got a second for me, detectives?

Tommy, what the hell are you doing here?

Thats what we need to talk about.

Right.

What the hell did we step in this time?

You look like hell. You getting any sleep?

Thats what I get for having a kid at my age.

Detective Tommy Pierce, my partner,

Detective Maria Baez.

Tommy works for the Organized Crime Task Force.

Which doesnt explain why were letting our suspect flee.

Your suspect just did business with

the Lions Head drug cartel.

Which explains why

the Organized Crime Task Force is interested in our suspect.

Been building the case for months,

were about to make our move.

And you dont want us to scare him off.

I can give you my word that once we take down the cartel,

well make sure that you have everything

you need to make your collar.

Really? Really.

Well, then we only got one question.

Shoot.

Do you need two extra bodies for the takedown?

I think I can make that happen.

Okay.

(sighs)

Told you you werent gonna like it.

Why were we out of the loop?

They didnt come up with this over breakfast this morning.

Chief Assistant D.A. said it was an oversight.

Coming out of the bathroom

with your fly down is an oversight.

Declaring the D.A.s office will no longer

prosecute marijuana laws?

Thats a shot across the bow.

To be fair, Brooklyn D.A.s been operating under the same policy.

I dont care. Marijuana laws are still on the books.

But if the laws antiquated...

Change the law.

His statement also recommends legalizing

the possession of marijuana.

So, if Im walking down the street smoking a cigar,

I get a summons, but if Im smoking a joint,

Im cool.

I get what youre saying, boss, but if the D.A. wont prosecute

pot cases, why waste our guys time making arrests?

Because we choose to do the job we were hired for.

Im real comfortable with that.

Set up a meeting with the D.A. forthwith.

You sure you dont want to take a beat?

Maybe cool down a little?

Forthwith.

(siren wailing)

(tires screeching)

Ramos!

We got a guy with a gun in the bodega!

Six to eight civilians trapped inside.

(crowd murmuring)

Everybody stay back, clear the area!

ESU and HNT?

On their way!

Back off!

(people screaming)

Or Ill kill everybody in here!

(bullets ricocheting)

(woman wails)

(gunfire continues)

Ramos, move in!

Copy that.

WOMAN: Help me.

(crying)

Maam, maam, lets go.

(guns firing)

JAMIE: Hide behind the door, okay?

Stay put right here. Stay put!

OFFICER (over radio): Suspect is in custody.

(panting)

OFFICER 2 (over radio): Central, 10-13.

Weve got an officer down.

Officer shot at this location.

(grunting)

PERP: Come on, get off me.

(handcuffs click)

Ah, my wrists.

Keep him there. Ill call a bus.

PERP: Get off me.

Ramos. Ramos, how you doing?

We got, we got him, boss.

Okay.

St. Benjamins three blocks away. Lets get him in the car.

Here we go, keep pressure on it.

(groans)

♪

(indistinct chatter)

Hey. You okay?

Not the one who got shot.

I talked to Ramos partner.

He said you made the right call.

I sure hope so.

You had to send them in, Jamie.

Could have waited for ESU to show up.

Shooter had hostages, right?

All alive and unharmed at the time.

Dont do that.

Do what?

Armchair quarterback yourself.

You did the right thing.

Tell that to Ramos.

Were in a tough spot with

your sex trafficking case.

Tell me about it.

Without Tonya Hills testimony, we cant prove

that she was coerced into prostitution.

A law that makes no damn sense.

I agree, but the new legislation that would change

the standard is stuck in Albany politics.

You should see what they did to these girls, Erin.

Locked up in apartments for months.

Turning ten tricks a day.

Which is why we need Tonya to take the stand.

So we, what, serve a subpoena on a traumatized girl?

So she can go relive her nightmare in open court?

Forcing reluctant victims to testify feels lousy,

but letting the bad guys go free feels even worse.

Ill tell you what-- you get Tonya to testify

and I will ask the D.A. to lobby the governor to sign

the new sex trafficking law.

That way, we wont have to go through this nightmare again.

Its the best we can do.

(sighs) Hey.

Heard Tonya Hills father

hired a lawyer to fight the subpoena.

Ugh, yeah, shes scared to death,

so I dont blame him.

What are you gonna do?

Im going to ask the judge for an adjournment

to try to buy ourselves some more time.

Did you see the D.A. about the new sex trafficking law?

Yeah, and he agreed its long overdue.

Thats good.

He also agreed that Governor Mendez is the only one

who can get it done.

So hes gonna make a call. No.

Why the hell not?

Apparently, he and Mendez

are not on speaking terms.

Oh, here we go.

Chatwal came out

against his sentencing law

that the governor had sponsored last year.

Were talking about young girls here; lets get over it.

Apparently, he is not a "get over it" kind of guy.

So thats it? The laws dead in the water?

Not exactly. Chatwal chose someone else

to lobby the governor.

Whos that?

Me.

He said, as Trial Bureau Chief, I supervise the cases

impacted by the current law.

Yeah, well, hes got a point there.

You can do this.

You think?

I have no idea; Im just trying to be supportive.

Thanks.

Weve identified a sit-down that will put

all the Lions Head bosses in the same place.

One-stop shopping.

Then we can charge them under the RICO Act

with conspiracy. Exactly.

We do this right, well cripple their operation.

Team leader will break down the details.

Save me a seat, okay?

Hows Val and the baby?

Have a look?

Wow. (chuckles)

Look at that smile. Yeah.

Shes getting so big.

Yeah, you havent seen her since the christening.

Yeah. Meant a lot to us, having you

and the boys there.

Come on, after all you guys went through

to have her in your life, how could we miss it?

Ill be digging out from under those

fertility bills till this ones driving.

Yeah, but its worth it.

Yeah, in spades. Yep.

How are the boys doing? Okay?

Yeah, theyre, theyre adjusting. Yeah.

It helps that Val stays in touch, you know?

Means a lot to them. Yeah.

Youre a lucky man.

Thanks, Danny.

Sir, ADA Reagan is here.

ADA Reagan is here?

Lets have her.

Good afternoon.

How many times that son of a bitch

gonna send you to take his heat?

You mean the district attorney?

Yeah. If hes gonna pursue this ridiculous marijuana policy,

he ought to have the balls to show up himself.

Well, in that case, the right son of a bitch is here.

Its my policy, not his.

(sighs) Remind me to bring the penal code to dinner on Sunday.

I am sure you think its misguided.

I dont think; I know.

But eliminating marijuana possession cases

will relieve a huge strain on the system.

What? Youre inconvenienced?

No, overwhelmed by nothing cases.

So the solution is to undermine cops morale.

We make arrests you dont pursue.

In order to free up resources for more serious crimes.

Boy, theres some half-assed logic.

Meaning?

Meaning, failing to prosecute lesser crimes

undermines the rule of law, encouraging more serious ones.

Erin, if you think youre overwhelmed now...

I dont think; I know.

(sighs)

A lifetime in police work, and I missed the wisdom

of letting lawbreakers skate.

Any lifetime includes revisions and reinventions.

And when they change the law, well change our enforcement.

I was really hoping we would come to an understanding.

Okay. Well arrest, youll prosecute.

Hows that sound?

(indistinct chatter)

TOMMY (over radio): All units, on my mark. Three...

two... one.

Mark.

(screaming)

Do not move!

Drop your weapons!

(screams)

(screams)

OFFICER: Cover my right!

Clear.

All clear.

Take cover!

(screams)

Get down!

(groaning)

Tommy.

(whispering): Cover.

I cant see him. Take the shot.

What the hell are you doing, Tommy?

(speaking Spanish)

Danny! Yeah!

Officer down.

Damn it. You okay?

Yeah. Where the hell was Tommy?

I dont know.

I dont know what the hell happened. (groans)

Hey.

Hey, Tommy.

What the hell happened back there?

Is your arm okay?

Yeah, dont worry about my arm.

Why didnt you take the shot and take out the shooter?

Couldnt be sure there werent Task Force members behind him.

There was a Task Force member about to get taken out.

It was a complicated situation.

Complicated how?

I wouldve been shooting blind. The cop still had his gun.

He couldve taken the guy out himself.

While he was bleeding out?

Look, Im sorry you got hurt.

I really am, but this operation was a success.

I stand behind my actions.

What do you think?

Look, I know Tommy.

If he stands by his call, its good enough for me.

It sounds more like an excuse than an explanation.

I dont know.

I dont know.

ADA Reagan.

Governor, thank you so much for making time to see me.

My pleasure. Please.

You hungry?

Tuna tartare is outstanding.

Im fine, thank you.

Im used to doing business with a different Reagan.

This is definitely an upgrade.

I know youre busy, so Ill get right down to it.

I want to discuss the new sex trafficking law.

Ill save you some time. Im all for it.

You are? Damn right.

Those animals should rot in jail.

But your real point is: why havent I enacted the new law?

Well, yeah, I cant imagine that sex traffickers

have a powerful lobby.

You are an upgrade.

No. The assembly speaker opposes it.

On what grounds?

On the grounds that the bills attachment

doesnt include funding for a new bridge

over some river in his home district,

among other cuts of pork.

Is there a deal to be made?

Theres always a deal to be made.

The trick is making one you can actually live with.

Young lives are being destroyed, Governor.

Can you live with that?

Its not that simple.

I understand, but is it fair

that young boys and girls have to suffer

because of some bureaucratic dispute?

No, its not fair, but it is politics.

GORMLEY: Weighing pot on a cop car?

Look at this dirtbag, will you?

Okay, now Ive seen everything.

Where the hell are the officers?

On their meal across the street.

Has the boss seen this yet?

Not that I know of.

If I know him...

I want the entire command staff in my office in one hour.

(indistinct radio transmission)

(siren chirping)

Whats up?

Kid flagged us down.

His folks are going at it pretty good upstairs,

says his old mans got a knife.

Okay.

Well head upstairs, Sarge.

No, you two stay with the kid. Ill go in.

But we can handle this.

I know you can. Call it in.

At least let us back you up.

Sit tight. I need help, Ill call for an 85.

The defendants are charged with sex trafficking, Mr. Richardson.

Yes, Your Honor.

Which requires you to prove the plaintiffs were forced,

coerced, or defrauded into performing sex acts

by the accused.

And we are pursuing that testimony.

May I be heard, Your Honor?

Court recognizes ADA Reagan.

Thank you, Your Honor. While we strenuously

take issue with the current sex trafficking laws,

we will not argue them here.

That said, requiring underaged victims

to prove they didnt have

consensual sex with an adult,

when, as minors, theyre not legally qualified to do so...

The court is aware of the inherent conflict, Ms. Reagan.

The People request an adjournment in this matter.

To what end?

In order to produce a witness

that is capable of testifying to the alleged crimes.

The defendants are currently in custody.

They have a right to be faced by their accusers

in a timely fashion.

Your Honor...

Therefore, no adjournment

will be granted.

Once a trial has commenced,

the People must call

the victims to prove the crimes charged.

If not, Ill be forced

to dismiss the indictment.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Howd it go with Infernal Affairs?

Were not the subjects. Theyre looking at the cartel raid.

Anything I should know?

Detective Reagan?

Hows the arm? Fine.

Im investigating claims that a certain member of the Task Force

failed to take proper police action.

Well, the operation was a success.

The cartel chiefs are in custody,

and everyone did their job.

Maybe not everyone. Several team members say

Detective Pierce froze under fire.

All hell broke loose.

Tommy was pinned down just like the rest of us.

But unlike Pierce,

you managed to come to the aid of your fellow officer.

I was in the right place at the right time.

From what Im told,

the injured officer was here.

You were here. Detective Pierce was here.

Pierce clearly had a clearer path

to the shooter than you did.

Look, there are hundreds of variables in any firefight

that you cant really define in some drawing, okay?

Okay. Tell me what Im missing.

Theres always gonna be second guessing in any major operation,

especially when one of our own gets hurt.

Sometimes its justified.

Just because an officer goes down

doesnt mean somebody screwed up.

You and Detective Pierce went to the Academy together, right?

Yeah, so?

Youre personal friends?

Doesnt mean Im covering for him.

Im glad to hear that.

Fact is, you had the best view of Detective Pierces actions.

And he did his job.

I hope so, because if I find out Pierce froze

and you werent straight with me,

Im coming after both of you.

You on another stakeout?

No. You and I got to chat. Lets take a walk.

Thats why they make barstools.

Yeah, well, we cant be seen together right now, you and me.

Heard IABs asking questions.

You heard right. Theyre looking at the takedown.

Looking at me? Yup.

Saying I froze up out there?

Something like that.

What did you say?

What do you think I said? I had your back.

I appreciate it, Danny. Uh-huh.

Look, theyre not gonna give up on this, IAB.

Theyre gonna call me back in.

I need to know what really happened in there.

Hey, like I told you, I...

No, I know what you told me, okay, and Im not buying it.

You want me to stick up for you,

you got to give me the truth.

Honestly, Danny, I dont know what the hell happened.

Ive been in a lot tighter spots than that.

Yeah, Tommy, I get it.

Theres nobody Id rather be in a foxhole with,

but something changed. What?

No, it was like...

All I could think about was...

was my baby girl, you know?

What wouldve happened if...

Plenty of cops have kids.

But you still got to be able to do the job

or youre gonna put peoples lives in danger.

I know, I know, its just still brand-new.

You know? And we waited so damn long.

Look, I-I know its a big ask, Danny,

but if you stand up for me, IAB has no case.

I promise you this will never happen again.

Tommy, it better not.

ERIN: Thank you both for coming in.

MR. HILL: My lawyer told me not to come.

Were flying home tonight, so whatever you have to say,

say it fast.

I appreciate your position.

I need you to understand mine.

We have the power

to compel Tonyas testimony,

and no lawyer can quash a legitimate subpoena

from this office.

(sighs)

So youre gonna force me to take the stand?

To see those men?

I have the responsibility to make sure

the men who victimized you pay for their crimes.

Give me a break.

With what youre gonna put her through,

y-you guys are almost as bad as they are.

However, despite the fact this is our only chance

for a conviction, I have decided not to force Tonya to testify.

Are you serious?

Thank you, Ms. Reagan.

The men who hurt you didnt care about the pain they caused.

I do. I dont want you to suffer anymore.

I just want this all to be over with.

I know.

Unlike the men who did this, Im gonna give you a choice.

You can fly home tonight.

But if you do, the men who hurt you

will go right on hurting others.

I-I dont want that to happen.

Then you have a decision to make.

Is it harder to take the stand and tell your story

or live with the knowledge

that you couldve saved others from a similar fate?

(door opens)

(door closes)

What the hell are you doing?

Checking the meat.

Thats not what Im talking about

and you know it.

None of your officers showed up

for their scheduled court appearances on Friday.

Mustve put quite a strain on the system.

You could have at least given me the heads-up

you were disrupting active cases.

Like the heads-up I got on the new marijuana policy?

That is the D.A.s decision.

Look at you, passing the buck.

No, it is my policy.

But the timing and scope of rollout rests with the D.A.

Look, anyone who asks the NYPD not to enforce the laws

is gonna get the same response.

Being what?

Take a hike, respectfully.

This needs more time.

And the poor guys insurance wouldnt pay for it.

Thats terrible.

Yeah.

What was he thinking?

Hey, could we talk about my wedding?

My wedding? You marrying yourself?

Its just the way women phrase it, Jamie.

Okay,

our

wedding.

Pretty sure I remember you telling us

were not allowed to talk about your wedding.

Youre okay to talk about it if I bring it up.

Oh!

Any other guidelines we should know about?

I vote for a destination wedding. Someplace beachy.

You do have some idea what a cop makes, right?

Its tradition for the father of the bride

to pay for the wedding...

Im so sorry.

Hey, thats okay.

Okay. How can we help?

Well, are there any family traditions that I should...

we

should be thinking about?

Well, church.

Any particular one?

Im guessing Roman Catholic?

I know, I meant, wha-- uh, the-- wh-where did you get...?

Oh, um, Point O Woods on Fire Island.

Jacks family had spent summers there for generations.

Episcopals.

Pop.

We had to ship in a priest for the day.

Literally bring him over by boat.

All right, you need to get over it, Pop.

Maybe one day.

Where was yours again, Dad?

Holy Trinity in Bensonhurst.

Yeah, I remember all the stained glass and that marble.

Yeah, but now theres a Home Depot on that site.

DANNY: Not for nothing,

but mine and Lindas place does fit all the criteria,

and its on Staten Island, which is kind of a destination.

(laughs): Thats not what I meant.

What? Its Staten

Island.

Its an island. It has beaches.

Yeah, but the name...

What? Its not...

Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrows, right?

Okay, the name stinks, but the ambiance is wonderful.

Im sure it is.

Well, why not St. Angelus?

I got married there, we go to church there

every Sunday.

Its about as strong a family tradition as you could ask for.

Thatd be nice. Of course, its totally up to you two.

Yeah. You?

Okay by me.

ERIN: Great.

Done. How about the honeymoon?

Um, what did you do?

Oh, well, we rented the cutest cottage

on Cisco Beach in Nantucket.

We had a blast.

Yeah.

Mm.

And remember those lobster rolls?

Oh, my gosh.

We went to that lobster roll place

six days in a row, it was so delicious.

So good.

Pop, we rented those bikes. You could ride around

that whole island in three hours.

(overlapping chatter)

Remember, the blues were running early that year?

Wait... wait.

We could whistle them in.

NICKY: Obviously, I wasnt born yet,

but my whole life, Ive heard these stories.

Oh, a thousand times.

Wait, you all went on Erins honeymoon?

ERIN: Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it was, like, a family affair.

Of course we did.

All of us.

You should see the pictures.

Okay. I get it.

DANNY: The lobster, the food, the clams...

Okay. You guys, you all had me for, like, a second.

What?

What do you mean, "what"?

Never mind. Sorry.

No, please, I-I... it was just...

Well, to be fair,

you did ask us about our family traditions.

(chuckling)

(chuckling)

You guy-- not again, please.

(laughter)

You guys.

Really?

Again?

Its too easy.

So easy.

Ah, its too easy.

Irish exit?

I have a lot of work to do.

How do you do that?

Do what?

One minute, you and Grandpa are in a cold war...

Its not a war. Its more like a disagreement.

And the next, youre playing tricks together.

You mean dinner?

Yeah.

Every once in a while,

as often as we can, dinner needs to be a green zone.

But how do you just put aside whatever you...?

With a lot of effort.

Because its important.

Because it may just be the best tradition this family has.

There had to have been one where you just couldnt?

Theres been a lot, and youve been at a lot.

And then what?

When dinners over, the war resumes?

Disagreement.

And, yes, sometimes you cant just...

paint over it or laugh it off.

Maybe...

I-I really do have a lot of work, so...

Call me when you get home.

(crowd cheering on TV)

Hanging out with your friends?

Ha, ha.

49 to 30?

How do you stay interested?

For the lessons in character.

Sorry Im not very good company tonight.

No, no.

Is that what you were doing the other day,

bigfooting that call?

Giving those cops a lesson in character?

That was nothing.

Thats not what I heard.

Sergeants handle jobs in the field every day.

You saying it had nothing to do with Officer Ramos?

Thats right.

Every cop in the precinct thinks you did the right thing, Jamie.

Including Ramos.

So I should just get over it?

Yeah. You did your job.

Well, maybe this job isnt for me.

And hows that?

JAMIE: Because I signed on

to maybe prevent tragedies, not set them in motion.

Can I get you anything?

No, were, uh, were all good, Pop, thanks.

So, what, youd just give back the stripes?

Danny never became a boss, and hes a hell of a cop.

Yeah, youre not Danny.

You can do whatever you want with this job.

You could be PC if you want.

Just because you can do something

doesnt mean you should.

I was a damn good cop on the street.

Maybe I shouldve just stayed there.

(phone ringing)

Reagan.

Yeah, okay.

Close the door.

What are you doing down here, boss?

Im not here.

Come again?

This meeting never happened. We never talked.

Oh. This is about the IAB investigation.

This is about you being smart, Danny.

Mm-hmm. Ive known Tommy Pierce for 25 years.

So buy him a silver tea set.

But dont toss your career away for him.

You dont understand.

I understand fully. All right?

Pierce froze and hes going down for cowardice.

The only question is whether youre going with him.

No. IAB said they need my statement to nail Tommy.

Theyre not getting my statement.

Yeah, they are.

Okay, look, maybe he froze up for a second.

Okay? But you know it happens.

Not with a fellow officer bleeding a few feet away.

Theres no excuse for that.

I get that, but its just one tiny little second

in decades of great work.

We dont get to pick our defining moments, Danny.

Oh, it was the old man who sent you here? Is that it?

You know better than that.

You also know he wont step up

and save your shield if you lie to IAB.

And you ought to know better that I would never ask him to,

nor would I want him to.

Danny, you got to get ahead of this thing.

(sighs)

I cant.

You ran away from home nine months ago?

Yes. My parents and I were fighting.

How did you meet the defendants?

I met them on the street.

They bought me a meal and they said

they had an apartment where I could stay.

(door opens)

What happened there?

They forced me to have sex with men.

And the men paid them.

Did you try to refuse?

Yes, but, um,

they would tie me up and beat me,

burn me with lit cigarettes.

These are photos of Ms. Hills injuries on the day

authorities rescued her.

Are the individuals who did this in the courtroom today, Tonya?

Yeah.

(sniffles)

Thats them.

You sandbagged me, Counselor.

Sir?

Ive got a daughter her age. But you knew that, right?

Hmm, you figured Id watch that kid fall apart,

see her old man go to pieces,

and Id have a come-to-Jesus moment, am I right?

I just thought you should see the reality

of what these victims go through.

I get lobbied 24/7, Counselor.

By people selling their souls on layaway plans.

I understand that.

In my position,

if I allow emotion to govern my decisions,

Id be out on my ass.

And yet, in your position, youre the only one

who can help us stop these sex traffickers.

You want this real bad, huh?

Of course I do.

All right.

I could cut a deal with the speaker

to push the law through.

You could or you will?

Im rolling out a pretty tough crime bill this spring.

Ill need your bosss support.

The D.A. doesnt consult me on policy.

Yeah, but he respects you. Otherwise, you wouldnt be here.

I could use a thumbs-up

from your old man, too.

But I havent read the bill yet.

Call it a leap of faith.

Okay.

(elevator bell chimes)

Welcome to the varsity.

You dont have to do this, Danny.

If it were me they were asking questions about,

youd have my back, too.

If you hung a wounded officer out to dry?

Not a chance.

Well, thank God the wounded officers

gonna be okay, and I took out the shooter.

Besides, youre not me and Im not you.

(sighs)

Danny.

Detective Reagan.

(knocks on door)

What are you doing here?

SLOAN: Your interview

is no longer required, Detective.

Because youre dropping the investigation?

Detective Pierce has made a full statement.

Meaning what?

Ill let you two discuss that.

Im done here.

Want to tell me what the hells going on?

I just did what I shouldve done in the first place.

Tommy, what are you talking about?

Danny, I couldnt live with what I did.

All right?

And I sure as hell couldnt let you

get jammed up because of me.

So whats gonna happen?

Im retiring, man.

I just turned in my shield.

Why the hell didnt you come and talk to me about it first?

What, so you could talk me out of it?

I dont know, maybe.

Look, its done. Okay, its done.

We both know its right.

Well, what are you gonna do now?

(sighs)

I dont know yet.

I mean, you guys gonna be okay?

Do you need help with anything?

Yeah, well be okay.

Its funny.

You know... being a cops been my whole life for so long.

Last few days, I realized...

its just not my life anymore.

Things kind of change when you become a dad, yeah.

That is my life now.

Everything else Ill figure out.

I know you will.

(hands clasp)

All right, Saturday morning, flag football.

I expect to see you and Sean.

Well be there.

Good.

See you around.

(sighs)

Here I am, Pop.

Thanks for coming out.

You know what this place is?

Yeah. Cop Arlington.

Police Arlington.

I know what it is, Pop.

Eddie talk to you?

No, she did not.

Give me some credit.

Ive known you since the day you were born.

Copy that.

Everyone that is buried here either died in the line of duty

or sent other officers to their death.

I accept the risk to me.

I signed up with eyes wide open.

But I dont think Im cut out for command.

The department cant function without command.

I get that.

I also get that Officer Ramos almost lost his life

as a result of my order.

Almost.

Almo-- Pop.

But one will die

one day, dont get me wrong.

And maybe not the only one.

But a strong leader, which is in you,

will have saved more lives than he lost

when it comes to the end of the day.

Got a minute?

That depends.

(sighs)

Hear me out. Please?

The six original hockey teams

played against each other 14 or 15 times in a season.

Real hatred sprung up, real teeth got knocked out,

real eyes got gouged.

And by the end of the season,

before the playoffs,

a lot of the guys wanted to kill each other.

This is you and me?

A custom took hold in the 1930s.

After each deciding game in the playoffs,

players lined up on the ice, shook hands,

congratulated, consoled each other.

They still do it today.

Unique in professional sports.

So you and I are gonna shake hands?

You sprung your new policy on me without a heads-up,

I took it personally,

I held my cops from your courts for a day.

That was aimed right at you.

Takes a lot to admit that.

Im not proud of it.

But I also think that I wouldnt change the way I handled it.

Look,

this isnt the first time and it sure wont be the last.

We cant be father and daughter out there.

On the ice.

So to speak.

We may very well

be playing against each other 14 or 15 times in the season.

And there is gonna be missing teeth and busted noses

and trash talk.

So to speak.

But no matter what,

we know we are lining up on the ice and shaking hands

after the final buzzer.

I have recommended a revised marijuana policy.

It mandates prosecution of any individual

that causes public harm through marijuana use.

A judgment call to be made by the NYPD.

I can try and live with that.

Thank you.

So...

Shall we?

Good game.

Good game.
