(engine sputters)

DRIVER: Damn it.

(engine knocking)

Not again.

(steam hissing)

(indistinct chatter)

Hey, Ronnie? Its Carl.

Damn thing broke down again.

I thought you said they fixed this thing.

(door handle clinks)

Hey, hey, truck.

Yo, just grab and go.

Come here. You see anything?

Take these, take these.

(excited chatter)

(siren whoops)

MAN: Run, run!

Come on, go!

(indistinct shouting)

OFFICER: Put the boxes down! Hands on the wall!

Nobody move. Youre under arrest.

All Im seeing are a bunch of people stealing from a truck.

That was left on a certain block at a certain time

for a certain reason.

GORMLEY: If you want to catch

a fish, you got to bait a hook.

That kind of down-home

wisdom isnt how its playing.

What? Entrapment? Give me a break.

GARRETT: I would love nothing more,

but thats how its being taken.

All across the spectrum.

GORMLEY: Well, Im not buying that.

Well, Im not selling it.

(TV shuts off)

GORMLEY: How many people you think, all added up,

have watched

Cops at some point?

Watched which cops?

Cops,

the TV show.

(laughing): I dont know.

Millions, tens of millions.

And theyll look at that and theyll say,

"Smart, that is smart police work there.

Good for the NYPD."

Well, your

Cops

fans dont seem to have

the news outlets or op-ed pages.

GORMLEY: And merely affording a person and opportunity

to commit a crime does not make it entrapment.

But steering people toward one does.

You see the logo on that truck?

And the driver acting like it broke down... Enough.

First of all, youre not actually saying that

the people stealing shoes are the victims here?

Its not me saying.

This is being widely condemned

as a violation of community trust.

Second... who was in charge?

The supervisor was Jon Harvey,

hes a Special Operations Lieutenant out of the 2-1.

Bring him in.

You want me to release a statement that hes

under review?

No. Were not doing anything

till we have context.

What do you mean?

That footage came from our cameras,

which means one of our own leaked it,

which means the kids lifting sneakers

arent the only ones who got snookered.

We did.

(shaver buzzing) Hey, you got a minute, Sarge?

Hey, hows it going, Tony?

Not good; they just told me you got me

working a set of midnights next week.

Just the one set, yeah.

Bradleys out DIF. So I need you to cover.

Cant someone else do it? I did last week.

Youre up.

Why do I feel like youre giving me special treatment

and not the good kind?

No ones getting special treatment; good or bad.

Okay, great, then I want next Friday off.

Why? Because I want

to take my son to the Rangers game.

Im sorry, I cant give you that one.

But you gave it to Bradley and Chris, so...?

Which is why I cant give it to you;

were down at minimum manning numbers here.

No special treatment, huh?

Whatever you say, Sarge.

What do we got?

No weapon, no witnesses, no video.

We got next to nothing so far.

Not even a name?

Charlotte Huntington.

Management says shes been renting here the past two years.

Hmm. No one saw or heard anything?

Not till the neighbor found her this morning.

Great. Whoa.

Charlotte sure did seem to love her hip-hop.

White girl in her 30s; wouldnt peg her as the type.

Hey, look at that; shes even got

an autographed copy of Playa Boy Shines album.

Wouldnt peg you as the type, either.

Look at all these covers of Tone Beast

magazine.

Remind me again how you know about all this?

Two teenage boys, theyve schooled me on everything rap.

Including the headaches in the car,

you know, from playing the music so loud.

Seems Charlotte has some, uh, credibility

in the hip-hop community.

Shes got her own Wikipedia page.

She seems to have an in with all the, uh,

major players in the hip-hop scene, too.

Maybe she wrote a piece about one of them,

they didnt like it and... bada-boom.

But I thought all these rappers were all talk.

Well, a lot of them are.

But some of them are real, like, uh, this guy right here.

Cameron Gooding. Hes real.

That his real name or his rap name?

Thats his real name. His rap name is Thin Majesty,

but he changed it back to Cameron Gooding

when he got rich enough to be respectable.

Huh. You like him?

I love him! Hes good.

Hes got great rhymes; hes got swag.

I meant do you like him for the murder?

Oh, well, I dont know about that.

But thisll be a good excuse to meet him.

Officer Bradley.

Here.

Officer Janko.

Present.

Officer Thomas.

Here.

(giggling)

Officer Wallace.

Something funny?

(clears throat)

JANKO: Sarge.

Your shield.

Its upside-down, sir.

(Tuna giggling)

Uh-huh.

Oh, come on, Sarge, youre styling.

Thats very funny. Thank you.

Everyone, lets get to work. Fall out.

Hey, Ill meet up with you.

So, thats the second prank in as many weeks.

Y-You got to give him a rip.

I have no proof it was him.

But you know it was.

He needs to learn some respect.

I will earn everyones respect in due time

and in my own way.

How? By letting Tuna walk all over you?

No, by leading by example.

Jamie, youve got to be the boss here.

I am the boss.

And right now, youre late

for your patrol post, Officer Janko.

(men giggling)

And your Honor, in conclusion,

were only here because of an illegal stop.

Based on the total fabrication

that my clients taillight was out.

Since the predicate for the stop was illegal,

this court must suppress the guns the police recovered

from my clients car.

Good luck with that.

Dont count your chickens.

The last two cases we had on Russell Heatly,

he walked after a suppression hearing.

ADA Richardson, does the prosecution have a response?

I sure wish that was you up there instead of Richardson.

Hes ready.

Hes nervous; look at him.

I was, too, for my first big case.

RICHARDSON: Your Honor,

as you saw earlier in the video

from the buildings surveillance camera,

I do not believe it definitively shows

Mr. Heatlys taillight was out.

That sounds like you agree with the defense.

The video was blurry,

Your Honor.

The defenses argument is inconclusive.

JUDGE: Anyone you wish to call to the stand?

Perhaps the officers who pulled Mr. Heatly over?

No. Your Honor.

Do you have the officers in the courtroom?

No, your Honor, I do not.

An illegal search?

What the hell happened, Martin?

Ask the judge.

Cant believe she let him out of jail.

Well, I can; you didnt even call

the police officers as witnesses.

I shouldnt have needed to.

We went over this.

We couldnt afford any risks with this guy.

I gave it my best shot, Erin.

Did you? Yes. You got a beef?

Tell it to the judge.

♪

♪

So I should just keep my mouth shut,

is that what youre saying?

I didnt say that.

But feel free to keep your mouth shut.

I just want straight questions

and straight answers,

not slanted questions

and defensive answers.

(door opens)

Lieutenant Harvey, sir.

(exhales heavily)

Commissioner.

Lieutenant Harvey.

Commissioner Moore.

Lieutenant Gormley.

Sit down, Lieutenant.

(grunts)

Hear you got reporters for garden gnomes since yesterday.

Yeah. Yeah, Id say there ought to be a law,

but I checked. The laws in their favor.

This whole thing has been blown out of proportion.

In your opinion.

HARVEY: Yes.

In my opinion.

Youre not the only one.

Why do you think that, Lieutenant?

This was a specifically targeted operation

to lure gang members out of hiding.

Weve got a number of warehouse blocks in the 2-1,

and weve had a growing problem with break-ins

and hijacked shipments.

So it wasnt entrapment,

just a sitting duck you could control and harvest.

Yes, sir. And with those controls,

with the video records, we were able to identify

and arrest several high-level members of the Ace Double Treys.

What about the other civilians arrested at the scene?

HARVEY: Anyone without an outstanding warrant

was issued a desk appearance ticket

and released.

Sure, they were inconvenienced,

but its not like they had the purest intentions, either.

No, they did not.

HARVEY: Im sorry for the fallout, sir.

But my tactics were effective, and the results were valuable.

And thats all that matters.

Not

all

that matters.

It is also not the least of the problems

that comes from this operation.

Sir?

Why do you think the footage was leaked, Lieutenant?

Ive been asking myself that.

Well,

Im

asking you.

Straight up? I dont know.

Someone got a beef with you?

No, not that I know of.

Well, Im gonna find out.

You sure you dont want to save me some time?

If I had a name, Id give it to you.

Okay. Thank you. Thats all.

Thank you.

(door opens)

(door closes)

It was a harmless prank, Eddie,

and it was kind of funny.

Maybe the first time.

But hes been coming after Sergeant Reagan since day one.

Then let Sarge deal with it.

I guess. Look,

Look, I know you guys used to be partners,

but hes the boss now.

Maybe he has had some of this coming.

How so?

Come on.

Nah, stripes are something you sew on.

Respect is something you earn.

Puts the stripes first, if you ask me.

I thought you came around on him.

I did, just not all the way around.

(sighs) Weve been through all this.

Theres nothing thats gonna get us

more evidence against Heatly.

Yeah, but maybe we missed something,

a technicality or...

No, Erin.

That traffic stop was our lucky break,

and we lost it.

You never should have given this

to someone as green as Richardson.

The way he handled it didnt make any sense.

Theres got to be more to this.

Every time you make a mistake, theres got to be more to it.

Can you just stay? Humor me.

(sighs)

(light knock on door)

You wanted to see me?

Yes. Come on in and close the door.

Youre a good lawyer, Martin.

Ive been watching you for the past few months.

Youre diligent, thorough, uncompromising. Thank you.

Which makes me wonder how you conducted

the most ineffective suppression hearing Ive ever seen.

I already told you, the judge...

Tell me something true.

Heatly got to you, didnt he?

No, he didnt.

Dont lie to me.

He got to my mom and sister.

Sent some of his goons to threaten them.

So you tanked it for him.

No. I got them out of town.

Look, did it rattle me?

Maybe. Did I tank? Hell no.

I did my job, Erin.

Now, if youll excuse me, I got some work to do.

(sighs)

You know, my old man went from being

an apprentice framer to having his own contracting company.

You know what he always said?

No, I dont, Anthony.

"Youre not really a boss until youve fired someone."

(elevator bell dings)

Detectives Reagan and Baez.

We need to speak with Cameron Gooding.

Is this about Charlotte Huntington?

(clicks tongue)

Marty, uh, these detectives are here to talk to Mr. Gooding.

Oh. Marty Ellis. Cams partner.

Im afraid I know what this is about.

Mm. We loved her.

We adored her.

Such a tragedy.

Charlotte, youre talking about?

Yeah.

Loved her.

We want to talk to your partner about her.

Hes pretty broken up.

Well, were just gathering information here.

Honestly, its nothing to be worked up about.

Okay. Follow me.

(clears throat)

Nice to meet you.

You know, Im a big fan of yours, by the way.

I dont think Ive ever heard a cop say that before.

Well, I got cool kids.

What can you tell us about the murder of Charlotte Huntington?

Sad.

Thats it?

Thats it.

The last few stories she wrote about you were pretty harsh.

(chuckles) Well, she still had access.

That should tell you a lot.

BAEZ: All it tells us

is that youre still trying

to seem relevant,

like youre worth the ink.

GOODING: So your theory is that

I killed her over a little disrespect in a rag?

You know, not for nothing, but, uh,

people have been killed over stupid beefs

in the rap game before, just saying.

No matter how high you climb,

they still come around here harassing you.

They got their little job to do.

DANNY: Yeah, cause the murder of a woman

is a

little

thing now, right?

You got nothing on me.

Did you know that Charlotte was writing a book

about the rise of Dead Dove Records?

Mm-hmm. I knew.

And she received a very sizable advance,

which means she was probably promising the goods.

And we were fully cooperating.

Look, she was hard on a hundred other artists.

Why dont you go waste their time?

We plan on it, after we find out

where you were two nights ago,

starting at around, I dont know, 7:00 p.m.

In the studio, as usual.

Do you have proof?

You got a warrant?

Cause if not, this conversation is over.

Is there a problem?

A problem? You know damn well theres a problem.

My cuffs, they were double-locked.

I collared a perp today, and he almost got away

because I couldnt cuff him.

Someone double-locked them?

Dont play dumb with me, Sarge.

Watch your tone, Tuna.

Youre lucky Im no snitch,

or Id report you to IAB.

Officer Janko, may I have a word with you?

He had it coming.

Hes been disrespecting you since you got here.

And thats gonna help?

It might.

It wont. Itll just escalate the chaos,

not to mention undermine my authority.

I was just trying to have your back.

Having my back doesnt mean going tit for tat

with a bully in a prank war, Eddie.

Okay. Jamie, this is not that big of a deal.

It-it is.

Another officer couldve been put in danger.

You know I would never do anything to hurt someone.

I know, but I got to give you a rip.

The suspect then entered the Danbys Donuts on 49th Street.

The officers followed him in.

He was apprehended without incident.

Well, except for the damage to the supply of chocolate glazed.

(chuckling)

Lieutenant, what about

the entrapment in the 2-1?

If youre referring to the operation...

Okay, "sting."

It netted a number of violent offenders

with outstanding warrants against them.

As well as

a dozen citizens with no record at all.

Surely you know that the community is up in arms.

Surely some of the community are grateful

for the proactive police work.

Has any disciplinary action been taken toward Lieutenant Harvey

and the officers under his command?

No. Now, if theres...

Is the NYPD doing anything to deal with Harveys actions?

How about you guys get the full story

before you hang him out to dry?

You dont think Harvey crossed a line?

It was an operation to address a specific condition

perpetrated by gang members in the area.

So everyone arrested on that video was a gang member?

No.

MAN: Then the NYPD

is condoning entrapment.

It wasnt entrapment.

It was a sting.

A beautiful sting that some lowlifes walked into!

End of story!

(reporters shouting questions)

It wasnt entrapment. It was a sting.

A beautiful sting that some lowlifes walked into!

End of story!

(TV shuts off)

(sighs)

Little piece of advice.

No, thanks.

When you yell "end of story"

at a group of reporters, youre telling them

right then and there that theres more to the story.

What the hell were you thinking?

That I was speaking for the NYPD

and defending Lieutenant Harvey.

Your briefings

are the Metro section, not the op-ed page.

Whos gonna speak for him?

No one has to.

What do you think this is, the U.N.?

The guys got reporters all over his front yard.

I cant care.

This is an internal affair.

We keep our own counsel, we speak as one,

and only after

weve

decided where we landed.

You got that, Lieutenant?

Loud and clear. We let Harvey swing in the wind.

Watch it, Sid.

Easy.

I thought I was

just telling the truth.

Truth is, Harvey shouldve weighed his actions

not just against his CompStat grades

but against the image

of this department as a whole.

What?

TARU just got back to us.

The proprietary footage was leaked

by a Detective Justin Powl.

He went to some lengths to try and remain anonymous.

♪

Thank you in advance.

For being a traitor?

No.

For helping with a police investigation.

You seemed pretty certain Id come down here immediately. Why?

Charlotte spent a lot of time at the studio.

For her book?

Partly.

Was there something else going on?

They were sleeping together.

Id book their hotels and taxis.

It was my job to keep it discreet.

So what happened, they have a fight, break up?

Not exactly.

Well, why was she writing these hit pieces in magazines

and contracted to write a book to take him down?

He didnt know about the book.

So he knew about the hit pieces?

Well, he helped her write the magazine pieces.

They were designed to make him look hard.

He was worried that people thought

all the money had made him look soft, like hed lost his cred.

Okay, Im a little bit confused

as to why you asked me down here.

She started talking to me...

without him controlling the conversation.

About?

About stuff he wouldnt want in a book.

About checks delivered to young women in other cities.

About the NDAs he made even the liquor delivery guy sign.

About stuff I knew.

Did he know she was talking to you about this stuff?

I dont know for sure.

But he probably suspected she wasnt just taking dictation?

Those office walls arent soundproofed like the studios.

You could hear them fighting.

Its very festive, Pop.

Yeah, thanks.

But I dont deserve all the credit; Nicky helped.

Oh, really?

NICKY: Class was cancelled on Friday,

so I came over and we spent the day together.

Yeah.

ERIN: Thats funny.

I still couldnt get a return phone call.

NICKY: I was revisiting

my childhood. It didnt have a cell phone.

(laughter)

But a tad early for decorations, dont you think?

HENRY: Nah.

Never too early for Christmas.

To quote the guys who own the big-box stores.

Nah, I just tune all that stuff out. Im with Pop.

How do you tune it out?

The malls start blasting "Jingle Bells"

literally the day after Halloween.

Who made you the resident Grinch?

Like father, like son?

What does that mean?

Dad, you spoiled Santa

for us way before Mom wanted that one to happen.

Well, it was time. You needed to be...

ERIN: He was the same way as a kid,

if its any consolation. He used to steal

all the Christmas presents.

All right, I didnt steal anything.

Okay, hid them.

I was preparing you for a life of detective work.

Oh, please.

He did the same to us.

You spilled the beans about Santa too early to us, too.

Ive never really forgiven you for that.

It was good. You needed to grow up.

I was five.

(laughter)

I was five.

Mom wasnt having any of it.

She kept signing all the gift tags "from Santa" anyway.

Aw.

Still probably be doing it today.

HENRY: Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Who tried to tell you there wasnt a Santa?

Kids at school. I ran with an older crowd.

Oh.

When you were how old?

I was third grade and they were fifth and sixth.

But didnt your parents still try to convince you?

I guess so.

When my dad was being sentenced for fraud and embezzlement,

he used to say, "Where do you think all that stuff came from?

Santa Claus?"

Whoa, whoa.

(laughter)

I didnt mean it to come out like that,

but I do like Christmas,

I just dont have any personal experience

with the whole happy family Christmas memories.

Well have to get you started.

Yeah.

But you cant force it.

If you force it, it wont do any good anyway.

Isnt it just stressful?

It is for a lot of people.

Well, then you just shift your weight for those two weeks.

You just emphasize your thanks

for being part of the family of man.

Where my bar is set is Christmas morning in 1914,

when British and French soldiers laid down their arms,

climbed out of the trenches

and spent the day playing soccer with their German enemies.

I heard that was a myth.

Well, nobody knows where it began or how it spread,

but it did happen, Jack.

HENRY: Over 100,000 men,

up and down the Western Front.

FRANK: How old was I,

when you first told me about that?

Just old enough to understand it.

(chuckles)

So now, after every Christmas dinner,

we put down our weapons, go out back, and play soccer.

(laughter)

Little true.

(laughter)

Think youre real funny, dont you?

Morning to you, too, boss.

Open it, now.

Open what? My locker.

You clipped the lock and replaced it, am I wrong?

I dont know what youre talking about.

Im not gonna ask you again.

What are you gonna do, count to ten?

Okay. Then youre riding with me until the pranks stop.

Whoa! No, Sarge. Hey, Im serious.

So am I. Suit up.

The officers were surprised

they were not notified about the hearing.

I told you, I thought I presented enough evidence.

You also told me that Heatly threatened your family,

clearly in an effort to get you to tank the case

against him, and I believe

you acted for that result.

What are you saying?

Youve given me no choice but to terminate you.

Im sorry.

And the Bar Association? You notifying them?

That will be up to the DA.

Im not gonna make a scene.

Your work here is done.

Of course I have a permit.

I cant believe that he gave me a rip

and let Tuna off the hook.

Well, Tunas not off the hook.

Didnt you hear? Hes riding with Reagan.

Better than getting a rip.

Uh, speak for yourself.

Im speaking from experience.

Dont you think youre being a little hard on him?

So how long has it been?

How long has what been?

You and him.

How long have you been sleeping together?

You know, for a cop, you make a lousy detective.

Come on.

Ill take that apology now.

Okay, okay.

DISPATCH: Units in the confines

of the 2-9 precinct, we have a 10-30,

Yeah, man. But I think I need to put in for a new pair of pants.

Ill see what I can do.

Hey, Sarge, that was some good shooting.

Nice work.

Thanks.

Come on, on your feet.

Come on. Lets go.

Sergeant Reagan? You okay?

Were all right. Were all right.

We heard gunshots.

Hey, sit him in an RMP.

Hes waiting on a bus.

Yes, Sergeant.

(panting)

I got one here for you...

That bad, huh?

Im okay.

JAMIE: We got shots fired. We got two under, one wounded.

So nobody gets in here, all right?

GORMLEY: Top tenth in your class at the academy.

Awarded the Combat Cross

before you joined the Technical Assistance Response Unit.

High marks from your boss there.

So what made you blow yourself up?

I think Lieutenant Harveys a good cop.

But some of his tactics go directly against

any understanding of community policing.

Except that hes effective.

I go fishing

and I drop a depth charge in the lake.

Im gonna haul a lot of bass.

Is that good fishing?

And you know this how?

You dont work out of his house.

I live in the 2-1.

My kids go to school in the 2-1.

My wife works at a dental practice there.

(exhales)

There is a very clear pipeline

for bringing complaints to this office,

from the community and from our officers.

Not for me.

What makes you so special?

Lieutenant Harveys my brother-in-law.

Okay.

I-Its not a racial thing, obviously.

Its... its a kids thing.

Jon thinks, youre in your teens or 20s in the 2-1,

youre either a felon or youre about to become one.

So he goes fishing with a depth charge and a big net.

Keeps everyone scared or suspicious of our cops.

And you thought this was the only way

to bring it to our attention?

I hoped it would be anonymous.

Your new-school tactics,

building trust,

he puts a torch to it, the way he operates sometimes.

And you put a torch

to the trust our cops have to have with each other.

Trust that is the bedrock of the NYPD.

You are suspended, effective immediately.

Lieutenant Gormley will take your gun and shield.

(indistinct chatter)

Cameron Gooding.

Detectives. You have a warrant?

Nope, no warrant.

Then you can go back the way you came in.

Cause I got work to do.

We know you were sleeping with Charlotte Huntington.

Doesnt mean anything.

Well, does it mean anything that she was betraying you?

Wrong again.

Now, why dont you get out of here before I call my lawyers?

Three past abuse allegations, drug charges,

illegal possession of firearms.

What are you talking about?

Well, those are some of the highlights

from the research Charlotte was doing for her book.

You know, the book you said you knew about,

but you really didnt know about?

Look, most of that stuff is public record.

No, it isnt. Not the juicy stuff, anyway.

That was all settled out of court

with big fat checks and non-disclosure agreements.

Let me see that file.

Read it and weep.

This-- this cant be real.

Except it is.

You guys made this up to get to me or something.

People close to Charlotte verified the details.

But she wouldnt do that.

We were serious.

I loved her, and she loved me.

And she was using you.

The whole time?

The whole time.

You did what you had to do.

ERIN: I know.

Uh, it it what it is.

I know.

Heavy lies the head that wears the crown.

Okay, enough.

You know Martin carries a gun?

So? You do, too.

He just didnt seem the type.

Well, he just doesnt seem the type

to throw a case for a gangster, either.

You cant judge a book by its cover. Live and learn.

Im gonna treat you to some new clichés for Christmas.

(chuckles)

(phone ringing)

Yeah, Jake.

W-Well come down. Keep an eye out.

Come where where?

I kept a guy sitting on Heatlys block.

Theres another guy sitting on Heatlys block

in a Honda with plates registered to Martin Richardson.

Who carries a gun.

What are you doing here?

Right back at you, buddy.

I need to talk to him.

Hey! I got a permit for that.

Youll get it back when you calm down.

I lost my job, I lost my career cause of him.

You want to lose your life cause of him?

Those conversations never end well.

You got to think, Martin. Try to remember.

Remember what?

Remember when you were smart.

See if you can get that feeling back.

You lost?

No. You look lost.

Nothing for you to see here, pal!

Yeah. You doing all right?

Yeah. I feel good, actually.

Strange those two detectives came by.

Not really.

What do you mean?

I mean, Charlotte and I

Its not like youd hurt her. Would you?

Hypothetically?

Of course.

Suppose she was, um,

Taking advantage of my attraction to her.

I dont follow.

Trying to expose my past,

Then youd hurt her?

Maybe.

Youre my best friend, Marty.

Id do anything for you.

Youd do anything for me?

I would.

Id kill for you.

Id kill for you, too. You know that.

(rap song continues playing)

Did you?

Kill her?

I thought we were talking figure of speech here.

(chuckles)

Are you that good of a friend, Marty?

Yeah, I am.

(glass thuds)

Was I gonna let some twist take down a lifetimes work?

No. I took care of business.

Our business.

(laughs softly)

Yeah. Youre a good friend.

♪

(exhales, chuckles)

Thank you.

Bring it in.

Did I ask you to do that? I did not!

All right! Thats enough.

You always have to ask!

Hey!

Back it up.

Get what you need?

Yeah, we got what we need.

Good. At least somebody did.

Get him on his feet.

TUNA: And then Reagan goes, "Cover me,"

and then he jumps behind a dumpster,

then behind a car and then he shoots a guy

in the shoulder like we were in

Bad Boys.

(laughter)

I think that beer might be going to your head, Tuna.

Yeah, no, it definitely is.

Hey. Cheers, Sarge.

Cheers.

JANKO: Cheers.

Cheers.

JANKO: Mm.

Ill get us another round.

Ill come with you.

Thanks.

So Tuna, where does that nickname come from?

Oh, I had a summer job at the MTA when I was younger,

and my boss was a real piece of work, so right before I quit,

I hid an order of tuna sushi in his office.

It stunk up the place real bad.

They didnt find it for, like, a week.

So youve always been a prankster.

Look, I know you dont believe me,

but Im telling you the truth.

It wasnt me doing those pranks.

Seriously, Tuna, as long as theyve stopped,

all is forgiven. All right?

Well, he came and went.

Who?

Richardson.

To get his gun?

Yeah.

So thats it?

And said good-bye and thanks.

Said to you but not to me.

Well, you fired him, I didnt. Whats he gonna thank you for?

Right.

But he did pay you

what he owed you.

Surveillance shots from a traffic camera

right before Heatly was stopped by our cops.

Time stamped and crystal clear, showing

that his left taillight was out.

Richardson was sitting on this.

Well, not anymore. I had one

of your ADAs notify the judge and the defense attorneys.

Were due in chambers in 20 minutes.

With a lot of explaining to do.

Thats why they pay you the big, big bucks.

Justin?

(chuckles): Hey, Jonny.

What brings you in here?

Oh. Im supposed to meet the PC.

Me, too.

You, uh, you got the day off?

I got suspended.

It was you.

Leaked the footage?

Yeah.

Wow. Why?

Like I told you a million times...

What the...

Y-You realize your nephew,

your godson,

was one of the kids rounded up?

He was a block from that truck.

He got caught in the net, Jon. Your net.

Then you come to me.

You dont just throw me to the wolves, man.

Oh...

Here he is.

As you were.

Everybody know everything?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

I come from a cop family.

Cause of the change in the demographics here,

its a, uh, dwindling tradition, which makes each one left

that much more valuable.

A cop family

that has black and white cops,

one living in the others precinct,

is pretty much unheard of.

And about as valuable as it gets.

Potentially, anyway.

Right.

I hear you.

I took another look at your stats.

Got a lot of question marks.

Next round, I better not.

Yes, sir.

From now on,

you better have his back like you owe him your life.

Your life in this department, anyway.

Yes, sir.

You two have a good day.
