Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "nypd blue"...

She didn't come home.

There's not a lot
we can do for her

If she's gonna keep going back
to this guy.

Michelle.

Just stay still.
I'm gonna get you some help.

Your sister
had abdominal bleeding.

She went into labor,
and we discovered the extent.

The baby.

A girl‐‐
eight weeks premature.

Michelle's bleeding
was very bad.

I'm on my way.

What is it?

Connie's sister.
She d*ed from her injuries.

I should've seen
this coming!

No, don't you talk
like that.

You gotta think
about her baby now.

What do we got?

Pete costello
from anticrime.

He's d. O. A.,
And his partner's wounded.

Maya anderson's
his partner, right?

She's gonna be okay.
She took one in the arm.

Anyone in custody?

We don't even have
a description yet.

Pete and janie have been
married, like, 10 years.

Somebody's gotta talk to her.

Hey, baldwin.

Hey. You all right?

Yeah. The b*llet
just went through.

Did you hear about pete?
Yeah.

Somebody's gotta go
and tell his wife janie.

I'll take care of it.

Right now you need to tell us
what happened.

We were on patrol, and we saw
two guys trying to boost a car.

What'd they look like?

Black, in their 20's.

We identified ourselves,
but they started sh**ting.

As you were approaching?

Yeah. I got hit and fell down,
then pete got hit.

Did you get any sh*ts off?

I think I hit one of them
in the chest.

Can you i. D. Him?
I don't think so.

Would you recognize him if you
saw him again?

Maybe. I don't know.

Anything else you can give us‐‐
clothes, facial hair?

He had a blue shirt‐‐
the one who got hit‐‐

And dark pants
and some kind of jacket.

All right.
We'll be back later.

Hang in there.

You let the doctor
take care of you.

I'll come by
and see you later.

Okay.

Okay.

Perp's hit in the chest‐‐
how far could he get?

Hey, do me a favor
and get this man out of here.

Sorry. With a d. O. A.,

I'm supposed to wait
for crime scene and the m.e.

He's a cop.

I don't like him lying there
in the street

With everybody gawking.

Yeah. Okay.

We appreciate it.

Hey, you think maya's gonna be
any good for info later

Or is that it?

I don't know.

I'll stick close by,
see if she thaws out.

Connie and rita say they got
a guy who saw a black male

Run into a building a block away
about 20 minutes ago.

Looks like
he might be injured.

You guys handle
the crime scene.

Anything?

We got blood here.

Where's the witness?

We got his information.
He took off.

What's up?

You see anybody go in the
building bleeding?

Didn't see nobody.
Heard some running around.

We're gonna take
a look around.

Don't step in the blood.

Good‐bye!

Over here!

I went and ordered some flowers
for officer costello's family.

I put your name on the card.

Oh, I took care of it.

We'll all kick in.

You knew costello?

We talked when I was working
anticrime.

He was a kind man
and a good officer.

We got the dead perp's sheet.

Name was deshawn troy.

Couple collars for grand larceny
auto and other petty stuff.

Running buddies?
Nothing listed.

Who bailed him out
each time?

His mom.

Are you all right?

Same florist
that did michelle's funeral.

Yeah.

They do a good job,
anyway.

You still gonna pick up
michelle's daughter tonight?

If this thing wraps, yeah.

If not,
I'll call the hospital

And see
if I can do it tomorrow.

It's the last thing we need,

But there's a possible child
abduction on sixth and avenue b.

The other guys
still on canvass?
Yeah.

I'll get rita
to meet you there.

Let me know if you need
any manpower.

Anything
on the second sh**t?

Nothing. I'm gonna make
some more calls on it.

Did you know costello?

No. I heard a lot of good things
about him.

He showed me pictures
of his daughter last week.

10 Months, I think.

Kid's named marcello zapeta.
2 Years old.

Got taken 40 minutes ago.

Mother put in the call
and got her husband down here.

Alberto and colata zapeta.

That woman
saw him get taken.

The parents are saying look at
the birth mother.

The kid's adopted.

I'll take the witness.

Mr. And mrs. Zapeta?
Detective ortiz.

Can you tell me
what happened?

I was walking marcello,

And I saw this dog running in
the street,

So I went after it just to keep
it from being run over.

It was maybe 10, 15 seconds.

When I turned around,
he was gone.

What was he wearing?

Blue shorts, yellow top,

And a white hat with turtles
on the brim.

You didn't see
who took him?
No.

You told the officer the birth
mother was someone to talk to?

Luisa salazar.

A few months back,
the adoption agency called.

The woman wanted to
start seeing marcello,

But we agreed
there'd be no contact.

They said she kept calling
and to be cautious.

Do you know where she lives,
what she looks like?

We only met her once,
in the hospital.

She's 19, maybe.
Lives in the city.

That's all we were told
about her.

She wouldn't hurt him,
would she?

You need to go home.
An officer will go with you.

Oh, my god.

Write down the name
of that adoption agency.

I'll be right back.

She says the kidnapper
was heavyset, late 20's,

And spanish.

Did she see his face?

The guy had a hat
pulled low.

The sergeant radioed

Asking if we need to get
aviation and canine rolling.

Both, but hold
on the amber alert

Till we're clear
what's going on.

Right.

Come on.
Let's get you home.

If you hear or think of
something later,

Call that number.

Yeah, okay.

[ Knocks ]

Who is it?

Police.

How you doin'?

Your parents home?

My dad's at work.

What about your mom?

It's just my dad.

I'm detective clark
from the 15th precinct.

What's your name?

Robert dupree.

Were you home
this morning?
Yeah.

Skipping school?
I got a cold.

There was a sh**ting outside
this morning.

You know anything about it?
Heard two policemen got sh*t.

How'd you find that out?
Neighbor told me.

Which neighbor?
Some guy.

You don't sound like
you have a cold, robert.

Did you see something?

No.

Robert, one of the policemen
who got sh*t d*ed.

Now, I know you want to help
find the person who did that,

So let's just lay it out,
okay?

I was coming out
of the building,

I saw the policeman
on the ground,

And these two guys running
all scared.

But I didn't see their faces,
so I can't help.

How did you know
they were scared?

I don't know.

If it was you who got sh*t,

And some guy saw it
and lied about it,

And they let the guy
who sh*t you go free,

How would that
make you feel?

He said he'd k*ll me
if I told.

He k*lled a cop.

He's not gonna do anything
the rest of his life

Except sit in a jail cell.

Let's go down to my work so we
can talk about this some more.

I should call my dad
and tell him.

We can do that
from down there.

Kid's in there?

Yeah, and he's saying
the two perps,

One of them was bleeding,
holding his stomach.

And he's saying that
the second perp,

The one who threatened him if
he'd say anything,

He was also bleeding,
from his right hand.

What's up with his parents?

Mom's out of the picture.
Dad's at work.

Robert said he should check
in with him.

Just now he said that?
Back at the apartment.

But nothing recently?
Not since the apartment.

Kid asks again to talk to his
old man, we deal with it.

Till then, we keep it tight
between us that we got him.

What about the boss?

It's just gonna be a problem
for him.

It could be a problem
for us.

I'm looking
for a cop k*ller.

What do you think
I'm doing?

I'll get
to all area hospitals

For male blacks
with hand injuries.

You get the kid set up
with the mug books.

Excuse me.

Luisa salazar work here?

Luisa salazar?
Detectives ortiz and mcdowell.

We need to talk to you
a minute.

I'm working.

We can see that.
We need to talk to you.

Where were you between 9:00
and 10:00 this morning?

Working. Why?

The little boy you gave up
for adoption,

Somebody snatched him
this morning.

Oh, my god. Oh, my‐‐
oh, my god, is he all right?

We don't know.

Have you had any contact with
the family that adopted him?

No. I don't even know
where they live.

You never tried
to contact them?

No. I called the agency,
but that was different.

Why'd you do that?

I wanted to know if there was
a chance I could see him.

They said no, I said okay.

And you let it go at that?

I made changes in my life.

I wanted them to know
about it.

We pulled your arrest record‐‐
picked up twice holding meth.

You had to know that wasn't
gonna open doors.

I've been clean
for 16 months.

Eventually they gotta take that
into account.

Then maybe I could be a part
of his life.

They do do that.
There is open adoption.

You still with the father?

No.

I am definitely
without him.

When did you see him last?

When I told him
I was pregnant.

And you haven't
talked to him since?

I got no reason
to talk to him.

No desire to get your little
family back together?

I wouldn't raise a kid
with that assh*le.

What's his name
and where can we find him?

He didn't want the baby then,
why would he want it now?

Let us worry about that.

Javier cerrota, okay?

He works at queens auto body
on northern boulevard.

Keep yourself available.

She doesn't leave without us
getting a call.

So, javier...

How old are you?

39. You could've asked me
that at work.

39.

So how old was luisa salazar
when you knocked her up?

She said she was 18.

She told me her birthday,
I did the math.

I think you came up
a little short.

She making some kind
of complaint?

Pick her up cruising
the high schools?

She lived a few doors down,

And then she lived with us
for a while.

You and your wife?

She couldn't get along
with her folks,

My wife felt sorry about it,
we took her in.

And you nailed her.

I'm not saying it's right,
it just happened.

Now, what's going on?

The son by you and luisa was
kidnapped this morning.

You know anything about it?

Nothing at all.

Explain a little more about
your relationship with the girl.

You know her parents?
They know about you and luisa?

No.

I told her how much damage she
would do if she told.

I told her the best thing would
be an abortion.

So you were screwing
with her head, too.

I said I would pay for it and
then drive her to the clinic,

But the day of the appointment,
she disappeared, ran away.

That's the last you heard
of her?

My wife gets updates from
luisa's mother.

You and luisa, you've had no
relationship since then?

No. Probably no other guy,
either.

Her mom told my wife
she went q*eer.

You're saying
she's a lesbian?

She's got a girlfriend‐‐
teresa or "t."

Where can we find her?
I don't know.

Maybe luisa's mom
got some idea.

What's her number?

Is this gonna get back
to my wife?

What's the point if I wasn't
involved in the kidnapping?

Write who can verify
where you were this morning,

And maybe you're not a collar
for r*pe.

Your wife,
that's your problem.

Yeah, all right.

Thanks.

How's the kid doing?

He's still looking
at mug books.

I got josh keeping
an eye on him.

He ask for his dad again?

No.

He's hungry.
I'm gonna get him something.

15Th squad.
Oh, sure, hold on, sergeant.

Ballistics report came back.
Lieutenant.

The slug found
in pete costello

Didn't match our d.o.a.
sh**t's g*n.

The second sh**t who's in the
wind is the one who k*lled pete.

Detective mcdowell, mrs. Perry
called from social services.

They need your signature on
the foster‐care release.

Can you
call her back for me,

Tell her
what we're dealing with,

And see if I can do it
by fax?

Of course.

Today's the big day?

I was hoping.
We'll see what happens.

Where you at on your case?

I need to look into the birth
mother's girlfriend teresa,

See what the deal is there.

That was the desk sergeant.

He tells me a cop on the third
floor went into the bathroom

And found a little kid who said
he was brought there

By detective clark.
You know anything about this?

He got a look at the second
sh**t this morning.

He can i. D. The guy?
Yeah.

How old is he?
12.

You have any plans
on telling me about this?

I'm the one said
we should keep it tight.

It was both our decision.

You haven't talked
to his parents.

He hasn't been asking.

This is our only witness,
so we can't risk anything.

The risk
is calling his parents.

You do nothing more with him
until his parents give the okay!

It's gonna be one big hassle
about, "is the kid safe?,"

"Are we gonna protect him?,"

And in the end, the dad is
still not gonna cooperate,

The kid's testimony is worthless
if we don't notify the parents.

We just need him to point out
the sh**t.

This goes by the books,

So call the parents in,
or I'll call them myself!

That's just great.
That is just great.

I got a few words
for this assh*le

Who went running to the sergeant
instead of coming to us.

Detective clark,
there's a call for you.

Detective clark.

Hey, jerry.

Yeah, what's he doing?

Can you put him in a cab?

Okay, I'll take care of it.

Thanks, jerry.

What's that about?

Bartender
from the brickhouse grill.

I guess my dad is drunk,
and he's causing a scene,

Like I need this right now.

How long has your dad
been drinking?

First I heard of it.

He won't leave.
I gotta do something.

Get down there
and deal with it.

I'll call robert's dad, and
bring him something to eat.

Go.

Hey, jerry.

John. I'm sorry to call,

But he got into it
with a couple of guys.

Did you call him, jerry?

These were guys just laughing
a little loud.

They're disturbing the
atmosphere, bothering patrons.

What'd he do about it?

He showed his badge,
got in their face.

I just asked could they possibly
show a little courtesy,

Which you might also do by
minding your own business.

What's going on, pop?

It's my day off.

I came in for lunch
and a little highball.

I think you might've let the
highballs get ahead of you.

That doesn't happen.

Why don't you let me get you
back home?

Why don't you mind
your own business?

You and him.

And refill that!

I'm gonna make
my own way home, john.

Come on, pop.
This is your place.

You don't want
to sour things here.

We had a cop k*lled
this morning.

Don't make this day
worse for me.

Jerry, I'll come back
for his tab.

Forget it, john.

We appreciate you coming in
to talk to us, mr. Alpadido.

Yeah, look, are you gonna put
my name in some computer?

Are we gonna find something
if we do?

12, 15 Years ago, I got involved
in some scrapes.

Nothing too serious.

I don't want you guys all,
"you didn't tell us."

We got the heads up.

Now tell us about the sh**ting
this morning.

Where were you?

At the window
in my kitchen.

How far away is that
from where it happened?

Across the street,
four stories up,

Maybe 50 yards south.

Too far away to pick anyone
out of a lineup.

What'd you see?

Two black guys standing next
to a car,

Two cops walk up to him‐‐
one guy, one girl.

How could you tell
they were cops?

Were they in uniform?

No, just clothes,
but they had the walk.

I mean, you could tell.

So, the cops
get the two guys separated.

This is after
the sh**ting started?

That's coming later.
When later?

While they
were frisking them.

The two black guys
didn't start sh**ting

Right when the cops
walked up?

No. I said what I said.

You sure about that?

What's going on here?

Just tell it
the way it happened.

That's
what I've been doing!

While the cops are frisking
the two guys,

The one with the girl cop
pulls a g*n.

He starts sh**ting,
the cops sh**t back.

About a second later,
they're both on the ground,

And the two black guys
are hauling ass.

Would you care to explain why
you're here six hours later?

The last thing I want to do

Is introduce myself
to a big crowd of cops.

But I ran a few errands, and it
was kind of eating at me,

And when I came back, I found
your card under my door,

And I took it as a sign
to speak up.

We're glad you did.

Don't sound like it.

I can walk out that door and
forget it if you want me to.

No, just write down
what you told us.

I'm gonna head out.

Yeah.
I'll wait to hear from you.

How you doing?

Good.
I should be released soon.

I need a minute alone.

Sure.

All right.

What's wrong?

I just talked to a witness

Said you and costello were
about to cuff the perps

When the sh**ting started.

We were walking up.

I talked to him, maya.
He's solid.

It was like I said.

I know what you went through
this morning,

And if you're confused,
that's understandable.

But this witness
isn't going away.

And there could be more.

Well, I heard something,

And I thought pete's guy
was giving him trouble.

This is after
you tossed your guy?

Yeah.

Well,
I started to toss him.

You're not sure?

It happened so fast.

So you looked over at pete
to see if he needed help.

It was just a second,
baldwin.

Crying is not gonna do anything
for us right now, maya.

I need to know
what the hell happened.

I started to toss him,
and I missed the g*n.

[ Sobs ]

Okay.

We gotta correct this.

I'll talk to the a. D. A.,

See what we can do
about your statement.

Everybody's gonna hate me.

We're gonna work this out.

Don't talk to anyone else about
this till you hear from me.

They're gonna hate me.

[ Whimpers ]

I'll talk to you later.

You're doing a real good thing
here, robert.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Your dad will be here soon,

And I don't know
what's gonna happen,

But you're doing
a real good thing.

When I heard
the policeman d*ed,

It made me sad 'cause of all the
policemen that d*ed on 9/11.

Really wish I could've done
something that day,

Just to help.

We all felt like that.

What matters
is you're helping now

'Cause we really want to try
and get the guy who did this.

Okay.

Hey, robert.

Hey.

How you doing there,
champ?

Good. I haven't recognized
the guy yet.

Okay.

How'd it go?

I got him home.
I'll check in on him later.

Something's eating at him.

Yeah.

Your suspect‐‐ teresa?

T.t. We picked her up
at her apartment.

Any sign of the baby?

No.

Robert.

Dad.

Are you all right?
Yeah.

Come here.

I'm detective sipowicz.
Detective clark.

Lieutenant rodriguez.

Robert's been a big help.

Let me save everybody
a lot of time.

He's not being a witness.

A police officer
was k*lled.

I'm sorry to hear that,

And I know you guys are doing
everything you can,

Which explains why you took
my son out of the apartment.

I'm willing to look past that,

Like you're gonna look past
robert being a witness.

We'll make sure
he does not have to testify.

I'm not putting him
in danger!

The safest thing
for your boy

Is to get the guy who did this
locked up quick.

It's not gonna happen.
Let's go, robert.

Well, it's a good thing
we played this straight,

'Cause we're
in terrific shape now.

Go ahead and believe
what you want, andy.

Just keep working the case.

In narcotics, you lose a
witness, you're out a kilo.

This is a dead cop
we're talking about,

And he ain't coming back!

Don't you ever say something
like that to me again!

Our only witness is gone,
lieutenant‐‐ gone!

I'm warning you!

Detective.

What?!

Bellevue e. R. Just admitted
a black man

With the tip of his
right finger missing.

Cool down
or don't come back here!

Connie...

Real quick.

I'll get the car.

Yeah.

We've talked about this,
but I gotta hear it now‐‐

That if I get gunned down,
you'll take care of theo.

Is this what got you going
with the boss?

Tell me you'll take care
of theo.

You know I will.

You don't ever have to worry
about that.

Don't do this.
You're not alone.

I'm here.
I'm not going anywhere.

All right.

Go to the hospital, okay?

In an hour,

This whole thing with the boss
is gonna blow over.

Thanks, josh.

So, teresa, t. T.,

Where were you this morning
between 9:00 and 10:00?

My apartment.

You weren't anywhere near
sixth street and avenue b?

Not a chance.

How long you and luisa
been together?

Who's luisa?

Luisa salazar,

Who you bailed out
on a meth charge last year.

So, how long‐‐

A year, year and a half?

Like that.

You help get her straight?

Yeah. So what?

So why are you sending
her away?

What are you talking about?

A witness saw you carrying
that little boy.

We go federal with the
kidnapping charge.

That's 20 years minimum.
No time off.

You do every day,
you and luisa.

I ain't said nothing
about her.

You're in this together.
You're linked.

I tell you to break the law,
I'm as guilty as you are.

You can't do that!
It's already done.

The only thing
working for you now

Is how bad we want
that little boy back.


Tell us where he is,
and if he's safe,

There'll be consideration
for both of you.

We're gonna find him with you
or without you, t. T.

The only difference is what the
outcome is for you and luisa.

How'd you find the family
that adopted him?

Luisa saw them on the subway,
just by accident.

She followed them home.

That's when she got
the idea?

It's her baby! There should be
respect for that!

Assholes at the agency basically
told her to go screw herself!

You gave the boy to someone
after you took him.

Who was it‐‐
a relative, a friend?

I have to see luisa.

Tell us where the baby is!

We get him tonight,
we can arrange

For you to see luisa
before you go in the system.

I gave him to my aunt
in brooklyn.

I told her I was taking care
of him for a friend.

He's fine.
I call every hour.

You're taking us there.

You're not lying about me
seeing luisa, right?

We're not lying.

What's up?

Uh, I got
a little situation here.

All right.

Pete costello
who got k*lled today,

Well, his partner is
maya anderson.

Your girlfriend?

We dated.

What do you need,
baldwin?

She got sh*t.

He partner got k*lled
right in front of her.

So she wasn't thinking
straight.

When she did what?

When she gave her statement.

She left something out?

She said the perps started
sh**ting as they walked up,

But, actually, it happened
a little later.

Who was derelict?

She didn't toss her guy.
She took her eyes off him.

Did it get her partner
k*lled?

The perp we're looking for
got her partner k*lled

By pulling the trigger.
She just made a mistake.

All right.

Is there anything
we can do here?

Tell her to give me
a corrected statement,

And I'll put it in the file
with the notes from the scene.

Then she'll have two stories.
That's a red flag.

The only part
that's changing

Is how the whole thing
jumped off, that's it.

She's a cop, she's in a jam,
and she needs some help.

[ Sighs ]

Here's the file.

Give it back to me
by the end of the day,

And put what you need to
in it.

I owe you.

You don't owe me anything.

Where were you between 7:00 and
8:00 this morning, martell?

Home.

Doing what?

Getting the top of my finger
grinded off.

How'd that happen?

My girlfriend gets a peach pit
stuck in the garbage disposal.

So I reach in to fish it out.

She gets the bright idea
to turn on the light

So I can see better.

Problem is she hits
the garbage disposal.

Is that why I'm here?
Did she call you guys?

You get your finger
chewed off

'Cause your girlfriend
hits the switch

And see if you
don't backhand her.

We got witnesses saw you
and your buddy deshawn

Argue with those cops
this morning.

What?
Yeah.

So let's forget about peach pits
and garbage disposals

And talk about
what went wrong.

I think we got some wires
crossed up in here.

We could put this whole thing
on deshawn.

That's how you're gonna want
to play this.

I don't know no deshawn.

And I don't know nothing
about arguing with no cops.

Why'd you wait six hours
to go to the hospital?

I ain't got no insurance.

It wouldn't stop bleeding,
so I had to go.

We're gonna look into your life,
martell.

We're gonna run
your criminal record

And talk to everybody you know,
and if we see anything

About you and deshawn troy
having any contact‐‐

Look all you want.

Whatever it is got y'all pissed
off, I didn't do it.

I swear to god.

I can't write
with my left hand.

Work it out.

Where you been?

Canvass.

Anything?

No.

Where's jones?

He's talking to maya.

I guess she remembered
some extra details

About the sh**ting.

Like what?

I don't know.
He's headed down there now.

We like him?

Uh, maybe.
We'll look into him,

See if he has any connection
with the d. O. A. sh**t.

How's he explain
the finger injury?

Garbage disposal.
We'll check on that, too.

Hey.

Robert,
wait in the hallway.

Did you guilt‐trip him
about 9/11?

That's what he brought up to me
as a reason for wanting to help.

I didn't do that.
None of us would do that.

Your son brought that up
on his own.

I want you to be clear
we don't throw that around.

Well, he wants to help,

And I don't want to start
teaching him not to.

You got a really good son,
mr. Dupree.

If you want him to look at some
photos, that's fine,

But that's all he's doing.

We'll meet you
in the hallway.

If he's not gonna testify,

There's no need to get all
formal with a lineup.

We just need to know we're
dealing with the right guy.

All right. Let's take him
in the observation room.

Robert, we're gonna lift this
shade up.

There's a 2‐way mirror, so the
person in there can't see you.

You tell us if you recognize
the man

Sitting at the table
in there, okay?

Okay.

That's him.

He's the one that said
he'd k*ll me.

Go on home now.

We'll be in contact
if we need to.

Hey, robert...

We really appreciate it.

So this is the cop k*ller.

That's him.

Do what you gotta do.

You're not gonna be able
to read it too good,

But I gave it my best sh*t.

That's all you can ask for.

I hear that.

So what's up?

How's your hand doing?

You know. Same.
Still hurting.

Bandage holding up?

Yeah.

Let me see.

Come on.

Cut it down to the bone,
did you say?

Yeah. A whole half a finger
is gone.

Garbage disposal
took it right off.

Ow!

You got picked out.
Picked out of what?!

We know you were with deshawn
this morning.

I was with my girlfriend
this morning.

Hey! Hey!
Take it easy, now, okay?!

You are gonna start telling
the truth now, martell.

You fall back on any of your
lame‐ass lies,

I'm gonna grind your stub finger
into this table!

I swear to god, I don't know
what you're t‐‐ aah!

Put it all on deshawn!
He's not gonna say different!

He's on a slab down at the
coroner's office!

A cop got k*lled martell.
The rules are different.

You're gonna give it up,

Or get put through pain
you never imagined.

Lay it all off on deshawn!

Okay!

Okay!

It was an accident.

But deshawn got it rolling.
He had the g*n.

He did the sh**ting.
I was just there for the car.

How does that make it
an accident?

We're working the car,
then the cops come up.

I'm nervous because deshawn's
been inside twice,

And he already said he ain't
going back.

But it's cool.
Everybody's behaving.

And then this chick cop turns
away from deshawn,

Gives him an opening.
He took it.

That's not an accident,
martell!

He started sh**ting.
They started sh**ting.

I just hauled ass
out of there.

But you did have a g*n
on you.

No.

Yes! Yeah, yeah, I had a g*n,
but I didn't use it.

Where is it?
My boy jason's.

Is it gonna match the b*llet

We took out of that cop
that got k*lled?!

That female cop
turned away from you.

You had the opening.

You took it.

You come looking to take
somebody in,

You don't turn your back
on them.

You can't do that.

You can't do that.

Thanks, hank.

So why am I here?

You know I'm gonna get fired.

The boy's back
with his parents.

We're gonna need
your statement, luisa.

Can't it just wait?

You got five minutes.

They were gonna lock you up
and‐‐

Can I hold her?

Just a little?

[ Sobs ]

We're gonna get through this,
okay?

I'm never gonna see you again.

No, that ain't gonna happen.

It's gonna be all right.

It's gonna be fine.

Did clark leave?

Had someplace to be.

I spoke with pete costello's
wife.

Meant a lot
that you got cates.

So, good work.
Pass that on to clark.

You know, procedurally,
as a boss,

There's a lot of bases I gotta
make sure get covered.

You know my side of it.

Is it gonna be a problem?

'Cause you and me butting heads
didn't help anything‐‐

Just wasted time.

The case cleared.

I'm asking, you and me‐‐
is it going past today?

All I cared about
was making the case.

That's all I ever care about.

Same here.

Then we're on the same page,
meaning this horse is dead,

But for some reason we're still
here b*ating it.

Tomorrow.

Yeah.

How'd you do?

They both went.

Rita's getting them
to central booking.

That social worker
call back?

All the paper work
came through.

It's wrapped up?

We're good to pick her up.

You all right?

Connie?

For the baby.

Rita, thank you.

Um, I'm sorry it had to come
about the way it did,

Losing your sister.

I know.

It's been hard knowing
what to say.

But I'm really excited
for you.

That means a lot to me.

You'll call me later,
tell me how it's going?

I will.

Thank you.

So, are you ready?
We don't want to be late.

Yeah, I'm ready.

I don't want to rush you.

I'm ready.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

I called you a couple times.

I wasn't picking up.

Where you headed?

I'm gonna stay with my folks
a while.

I called the command.
I'm taking some time.

When are you coming back?

I don't think I am.

You don't need to make any big
decisions right now, maya.

I can't face work right now.

Everybody's gonna be talking
about it.

No one's gonna want to partner
with me.

I watch other people do the job,
and they're quick and confident,

And I see that's what I should
be, but I'm not.

I mean, I love the job, and I
love my fellow cops.

I'm just not good at it.

And pete‐‐
I can't believe he's gone.

He'd still be here
if it wasn't for me.

Martell cates k*lled pete,

And we got martell
locked up for it.

I gotta go.

Thanks for cleaning up the
statements for me.

Yeah, no problem.

Call me when you get there.

Maya, don't get down on
yourself, all right?

Things like this,
if you let them,

They build momentum and‐‐

Well, just don't get down
on yourself.

Okay.

I'll see you.

[ Television playing,
door opens ]

John, that you?

Yeah.

Nets are on.
Losing, unfortunately.

How you feeling?

I'm fine.

I shouldn't have been drinking
on an empty stomach.

And I ordered the pork chops,
which took too long,

So I had a few more
in the meantime.

Got away from it.

Oh, please, ref.

Dad, can you turn that off.

I'm watching it.

Well, I'd like to talk to you
about what's going on here.

Nothing is going on.

[ Sighs ]

[ Television stops ]

It's not normal, you getting
drunk in the middle of the day.

It's not normal,
you getting drunk at all.

Maybe you're not as perceptive
as you think you are.

You want to start talking
man to man? Fine.

You were shocked‐‐
no, stunned‐‐ to learn recently

That I have the same natural
urges as any other man.

Now you're learning
that I have a drink or two.

It's time you grew up.

[ Television plays ]

After you copped
to seeing that prost*tute,

Are you sure all you got from
i. A. B. Was a 10‐day rip?

You should've been fired.
Doesn't make any sense.

I just got the rip.

'Cause I know they offered to
turn you out as an informant

To save your job
and your pension.

Which I refused.

Are you sure?

You barely return my calls
since then.

And now I gotta drag you wasted
out of a bar at noon.

I'm a rat? That's what you
think about your father?

Your son finding out
that you're a whoremonger,

That's a little humiliating.

Putting a blemish
on a perfect career,

That is also humiliating.

All of which takes time
to work through,

Which I am sorry
is not up to your pace.

Something's going on.

Now I'm watching this game.

You want to watch with me,
that's fine,

But this conversation
is over.

I guess
I'll talk to you later.

Not about that.
You don't bring that up again!

[ Television stops ]

Should we ask
if there's a problem?

She said it'd be 10 minutes.
That was roughly 7 minutes ago.

But on the phone, she said the
paper work went through.

That's what she said.

[ Sighs ]

I'll probably need to get
a lawyer

For the official adoption.

She said it can get
complicated.

That's why you get
the lawyer.

I understand that.
I'm just a little concerned

'Cause when someone says it can
get complicated,

Who knows what they mean.

Probably paper work
and stuff.

There's a lot of things running
through my head.

Let them out.

Feedings, diapers, colic.

Will she sleep the night?
Will I sleep the night?

You want the whole list?

Got at least another minute.

Do you think valerie would know
a decent adoption attorney?

I mean, how often would she
interact with them?

Hi, connie.
We're all squared away.

So we can‐‐
we can take her home?

You can take her home.

In a few days,
you'll get some copies

Of the foster‐care paper work
and the birth certificate.

You have my card
if you need anything.

Thanks for your help.

Good luck.

Oh, my god, andy.

I can't believe it.

Come on.

Let's go home.
