What happened?

Found her on the waterfront,

sh*t twice.

She was your CI, right?

Maria Duran.

Any idea who sh*t her?

Ruiz. Who else?

You sure it couldn't be somebody
from the human trafficking ring?

- I can ask around...
- I know it was Ruiz.

I'm gonna k*ll that drug-dealing...

You got a target on your back.

Or did you forget that
there's a hit out on you?

So, what? We're just gonna
let him walk free?

Yeah, for now. Make sure the girls
are safe first,

and then we'll go get him.

[SIGHS]

Maria's a good person.

- She was just trying to find her sister.
- Duran...

What's her sister's name?

Carla.

I heard that name mentioned
in the human trafficking ring

- when we were moving the girls.
- You did? When?

Yeah, a couple weeks ago.

You have any idea what she looks like?

She looks a lot like her sister.

They even have matching tattoos

on the inside of their wrists
from when their mom passed.

You think she's here? In New York?

I'm damn well gonna find out.

- Good to see you, Bugs.
- Detective Reagan.

The hell do you want?

Ten months in there.

Figured you could use
a ride or a hot meal.

Are you out of your mind?

You think I'm gonna
break bread with you?

Come on. I got you out early, didn't I?

But you also got me arrested,

and you also got my brother k*lled,

- remember that?
- I'm sorry

about what happened to Marcus.

I am. But the only person
that got him k*lled

was the guy who pulled the trigger.

It was your investigation.

He d*ed getting information for you.

It should've been you instead.

Man...

Come on. Come on.
All right, don't touch me.

- Don't even get near me.
- All right.

Tough time inside?

My cellmate was a Ace Double Trey.

- So what the hell do you think?
- What set did he run with?

Kings County, man.

How long has he been in there?

A while. At least since...

- So that's it.
- What?

This is some g*ng
investigation you're running.

- Don't play me, Reagan!
- I'm not running any investigation.

You always have an angle.

And you always use me as
a pawn in your little games.

Just like my brother was
until he got dead.

Huh? Get the hell out of my face.

"We seldom recognize the heroes
of the NYPD marching band.

"They are a symbol of hope

"They sound the horns of justice.

"They drum the b*at of equity.

"They play ceaselessly

- without thanks..."
- Boss...

Think you might want to hear this.

Anything beats Garrett reading

a fourth version of
this speech. [SNORTS]

Sorry it's a little over your head, Sid.

And what do I want to hear?

Sergeant Bruns just called from the 2-7.

He said they've taken
someone into custody

for disorderly conduct and as*ault.

And they called this office?

The perp played your courtesy card.

Who did?

Tess Ross.

Lenny's kid?

Exactly.

She's hardly a kid.

And what did she do this time?

Discon, engaging in violent
and tumultuous behavior,

and being generally uncooperative

with anyone and everyone.

She hit a girl at the bar.

Lenny gave her your card?

Yeah, I asked him to.

Sorry you asked?

[SIGHS]

Too soon to tell.

I thought I told you
to leave Bugs alone.

You did.

Then why the hell is his parole officer

telling me that Anthony
barged into a meeting

and conducted a full interrogation?

Don't worry. I played nice... ish.

- He's my CI.
- ERIN: Well,

- he has information we need.
- DANNY: Real funny

that he just happened
to end up in a cell

with a guy from the g*ng
that you're investigating.

What are the odds?

Lot of g*ng members locked up in there.

I'm talking to her.

- You arranged that, didn't you?
- Yes.

We thought it would be useful to have

an ear close to these guys,
and now it is.

You went behind my back?

Well, I didn't realize

you were so touchy about your CIs.

Well, if you would've
looped me in in the first place,

I would've told you
that there's no way on earth

the Ace Double Treys would ever tell

- any information to...
- That's funny,

because he is an Ace Double Trey.

- What?
- Yeah, he started running with them

- when he was locked up.
- Bugs? No way.

He admitted it, Danny.

He even showed Anthony the tattoo

they gave him. So, yeah, we are going

to use him to cr*ck this case,

and we're gonna do it
with or without you.

Quinn's late. Man, I don't like this.

Just relax, Fence, everything is fine.

With all the heat from the cops?

What if they already got him?

What if they know about this place

and they're waiting to come
in right now?

- They don't.
- How do you know this?

Because they'd already be here.

But we're gonna clean house

until the heat dies down

and we're taken care of that cop.

How we gonna take care of him, boss?

My business partner's gonna handle that.

♪ ♪

Why do you want to know, Dolan?

Just seems risky to have them
all in one place.

Once I have them under one roof,

I'm shipping them out.

Sending them someplace

no one will ever see or
hear from them again.

It's time for a fresh start, gentlemen.

[SIGHS]

We need more manpower up in Harlem.

GORMLEY: Sure, absolutely.

I'm on it, boss.

I know you love to dig into the details,

but I've never seen you so worked
up about our crossing guards.

You sure everything's okay?

Yes.

He was your best friend.

Anything else you got for me?

All right, fine.

Say what you got to say
so we can get back to work.

Did you really just leave
Lenny's kid in the holding cell?

[SIGHS]

She was booked on as*ault.

Sheesh.

- What?
- Nothing.

I mean, talk about tough love...

Her arraignment.

And?

Well, I just thought you'd want to know.

Just in case you wanted to...

What? Set a bad example?

I was going to say, be there for her.

[SIGHS]

Uh, could we take this up
after lunch, please?

[DOOR CLOSES]

[SIGHS]

You can't treat her like
a Reagan when she's a Ross.

She's a person who broke the law.

And she's not the only person
in the world

who has lost someone.

Clearly.

What was I supposed to do?

Big-foot my cops to forget
they ever saw her?

No, but you could've bailed her out.

And when I get a call the next day?

Should I bail her out again?

You did it for her dad for years.

I did it for her dad once.

[SIGHS] Look, Lenny was a great
guy with a whole lot of flaws.

And one of them was letting his daughter

get away with whatever she wanted.

So, when he asked me
to look out for her,

he knew what he was signing up for.

I think that's why he asked me.

But now Lenny's gone
and it's just you and her.

You're not playing backup anymore.

I think I know that.

That is all, Baker.

I don't pretend to know

what the two of you are going through.

But I do know when you left her
in that cell,

it probably felt like the only
person who did understand

just turned his back on her.

Maybe that's what she needs...

but do you really want to be that guy?

[SIGHS]

Got to take a leak.

[DOOR BELL CHIMES]

I need to see your hands.
Come on, all of you.

Come on, hands up, hands up!

I know one of you's got dr*gs on you.

You, come on, get out of the van.

Why?

- Come on, right now, get up.
- No.

Let's go. Let's go. Get out.

Get out, get out.

Come here.

Kick me in between the legs
and run for it.

- What... What are you talking about?
- Just do it.

Now's your chance to get
out of here. Come on.

- Come on.
- W-What about the other girls?

I'll get them out, too.

But right now, you need to run. Go.

Why are you doing this? Who are you?

I'm a friend of your sister's.

She's been looking for you.

- Maria? Maria's been looking for me?
- Yeah. Yeah, come on.

We don't have time for
questions. Just go, just go.

FENCE: Hey, what the hell are you doing?

Hey.

JAMIE: This one was acting up.

So I figured I'd teach her a lesson.

I've never seen you go
for one of the girls.

Yeah, I was just checking for dr*gs.

FENCE: Think I'm stupid?

Boss said hands off.
Get back in the van, now.

[WOMEN WHIMPERING AND SOBBING]

I'm watching you, Dolan.

You go near those girls again

and I'm going straight
to Quinn, you hear me?

[SCOFFS]

Hey, you got something?

Just found out that Quinn
and Ruiz are partners.

Partners?

Quinn mentioned a partner recently,

but never before.

He said that's who's supposed
to take care of you.

I hope he tries.

Don't be stupid, Joe.
Remember, our priority is to...

- To get the girls out safe, I know.
- That's right.

Any luck finding Maria's sister?

What?

Yeah, I found Carla.

Great. Where is she?

I was transporting her,

I tried to give her an out
to make a run for it,

but Fence came back before
I could get her out of there.

Any luck finding out
where they took her?

A safe house. I don't have an address.

You can plant a GPS tracker
or something?

No, Quinn has us comb
the vans between every trip.

Are you serious?
You just let her get away?

It's too risky.

And you're too afraid to take a chance.

Hey, if someone found a tracker
on either her or the van,

Quinn might've had us torch it
with them in it.

Okay? He's ordered it before,

and I don't want someone else
to end up like Maria.

[SIGHS]

You're right.

I didn't mean it like that.

Yeah, you did.

And you're right.

But if we wait for any longer,

Carla will be gone for good
and it won't be because of me.

Now you're running around
with the Ace Double Treys?

What the hell's wrong with you?

- BUGS: And what about you?
- DANNY: What?

Talking about you want to come see me

and there's no investigation...

Come on, get a room, you two, huh?

Can we just focus here, please?

Fine.

ERIN: Our intel says there's a shipment

of g*ns coming in any day now.

Our wiretap went dead.

We need you to figure out
the when and the where.

Not gonna happen.

ABETEMARCO: Well, you're gonna help us,

or I'm gonna mark your every step.

And one slipup, I'm gonna
have you back in jail.

And this time without the cushy deal!

Don't talk to him like that,
all right? Take it easy.

We don't have time for easy.
It's 100 grand worth of g*ns.

That's what we're talking about here.

Well, my cellmate did have a
cousin that's kind of high up.

He probably knows something.

ABETEMARCO: Good.

Let's go pay him a visit.

- No. I'll go with him.
- This is our case, Danny.

DANNY: He's my CI.

- Not anymore, he's not.
- He's my CI!

BUGS: I'm not even a
person to you two, am I?

Just some brother on the block
that you can use.

You two are exactly alike.

You are going to help us.

Because if this shipment comes in,

a lot of people are gonna die.

Like you care.

- Let's go.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where do you think you're going?

You want information on the shipment,

this is how it's going down. Stop.

Information gathering only.
Everything aboveboard.

And I want a full report.

DANNY: Don't worry.
I'd never go behind your back.

Tread lightly.

Copy that.

Please, have a seat, Tess.

I didn't know Dad fished.

He was terrible at it.

Had the attention span of a gnat.

TESS: Looks like he wasn't that bad.

He just wanted to hold it for a picture.

Yep, that sounds about right. [CHUCKLES]

Well, I guess I should thank you...

for the bail or whatever.

You're welcome.

And thanks for letting me
spend the night

my dad d*ed in prison.

You put yourself there.

- Right.
- Oh, okay.

Booze put you there.

Look, Lenny helped you get sober.

Maybe you should stick with it,
honor his memory?

You know, I thought

just maybe, you'd called me
up here to offer to...

Forget it.

Tess, I'm trying here.

You're off the hook, okay?

You don't have to act like you care.

- I do care.
- Yeah?

And when this as*ault charge
ends with me serving time,

will you care enough to help me then?

I will be there for you.

But I won't bend the law.

If my dad were still here,

you know exactly what
he would ask you to do.

And I'd tell him no.

[SIGHS]

It's funny, you didn't
want any part of this.

I didn't.

So what made you agree to help?

Because I didn't realize

these dudes was buying
enough g*ns for a small army.

It's just not right.

[CHUCKLES] Okay.

So what's your next hustle after this?

I can't even ride in a car
without an interrogation.

I'm just asking.

Sincerely, what are you
gonna do after this?

I'm getting the hell out of here.

Chicago, L.A., wherever.

It don't matter. Just not here.

You're giving up on New York?

- For what?

Month or so ago.

and it leads to an alley, and...

Thank you.

Okay, just think about
what you're doing.

- Just shut up.
- Just think about what you're...

Keep moving.

Police!

Let him go.

QUINN: Detective Joe Hill.

Nice to finally meet you.

It's over, Quinn.

There's nowhere to go.

Seems like I still have
some leverage here.

JAMIE: Don't do anything stupid, Joe.

We can do this the safe way.
Nobody has to get hurt.

He's right. Listen to him.

Listen to him.

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

- Hands behind your back.
- [GROANS]

[PANTING]

The family thinks I'm the crazy one.

I guess we're related after all.

[CUFFS CLICKING]

He's in the conference room.

- Oh.
- We just finished interviewing him.

And?

Funny thing,

the Ace Double Treys
didn't bring enough money

to buy even half of those g*ns.

- They didn't? Oh.
- Mm-hmm.

Maybe they were playing a game
on the sellers.

Yeah. I'm sure that's it.

We good?

Yep.

BUGS: Detective.

Nice to see you're still
in one piece, Bugs.

Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?

Oh, after what happened back there,

I thought you may have
a target on your back.

They think you're the one
that took that first sh*t.

If anybody got a target on their back,

- it's you.
- Well, good.

Interesting thing.
Uh, that car you jumped in,

about half the money for the buy
has gone missing.

That right?

Mm-hmm.

Was thinking maybe that's why
you got involved in this thing

in the first place.

There'd be 100 grand lying around.

Maybe some of it disappears

and magically ends up in your pocket.

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Right.

You want to search me?

Nope.

You're gonna come harass me
until you find something?

No, I'm not gonna do that.

[SCOFFS]

I didn't know about the second car.

I really didn't.

I know.

And thank you...

for saving my life.

[TAKES DEEP BREATH]

Don't mention it.

[DOOR OPENS]

Even though you should,
'cause this ain't the first time

- I saved you.
- Don't make me change my mind, Bugs.

When the world come to an end,

all that's left is Bugs.

Remember that, Reagan.

[MACHINE BEEPING STEADILY]

Detective.

There's someone here to see you.

Carla.

- I'm so sorry.
- It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

[CRYING] Everything is gonna be okay.

- [CRYING]
- [SIGHS]

So, you and Maria, huh?

What are you talking about?

Well, it doesn't take a detective.

I'm glad they're both okay. That's it.

Whatever you say.

So, I guess that's it for you, huh?

No more undercover work.

Job done.

- That's good.
- Mm-hmm.

Hey, listen, I'm sorry

that I didn't always follow your lead.

- Yeah, whatever.
- No, no, I'm serious.

Look, you can apologize all you want,

but from what I've seen,
you're never gonna change.

What can I get...

Hi.

Let me guess,



Nice try.

Irish, neat.

But not tonight.

[SIGHS]

So, tell me your logic,

trying to stay sober
working behind a bar.

Oh, I-I never drank at work.

And after a shift in this dive,

the last place I want to be is a bar.

[CHUCKLES]

That's pretty good.

Pretty good.

What's this?

A damn good defense attorney.

Oh.

Uh, thank you.

Listen, I'm, uh, working on my eulogy.

If there's anything in particular

you'd like me to say,

just call it in to Detective Baker.

So, are they gonna sh**t off
g*ns or something?

[CHUCKLES]: No.

No.

But he will have an honor guard.

Bagpipes?

Of course.

[CHUCKLES]

He hated bagpipes.

Yeah, but he'd love the old dogs
bursting into tears.

That's what bagpipes do.

That's fair.

- He'd get a kick out of that.
- Yeah.

Laughing in all the wrong places,

- his specialty.
- [CHUCKLES]

That, and laughing at his own jokes.

Well, no one was funnier than him,

to him.

Yeah.

[CHUCKLES]

We're not very good at this, are we?

Terrible.

I'm sorry, Tess.

He loved you dearly.

Last few years,
you were all he talked about.

[SNIFFLES]

Uh, I should, um, get back to work.

[SIGHS]

Sure.

Thank you for this.

Yeah, sure.

[SIGHS]

My family gets together
for dinner every Sunday.

We'd love to have you.

I know it's the night
before the service,

so...

I'll be there.

ERIN: All right, I got the salad.

DANNY: And I got the potatoes.

HENRY: Yeah, how are they?

You like them burnt, right?

I like 'em crisp, yeah.

Nailed it.

[LAUGHTER]

- Hey, remember this guy?
- Hey.

- You shaved and everything.
- [OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

[LAUGHS]

DANNY: You know, you could've
at least kept the Fu Manchu.

- [LAUGHTER]
- Yeah.

So, uh, where is she?

Hey.

I got to admit. I was kind of hoping

- you'd keep the tattoos.
- Yeah?

Even the neck one?

Especially the neck one.

[LAUGHTER] Wow. We're about to eat.

Yeah, and the food is ready.

I've never been so excited
about a meal in my life.

Why is there an extra table setting?

Are we expecting someone else?

Yeah, is, uh, Joe coming?

Uh, no, I asked someone.

Just, uh, doesn't look like
she's gonna make it.

You invited Tess?

May I say a few words before grace?

- Of course.
- [OVERLAPPING AGREEMENTS]

Um...

Well, first of all, welcome home, Jamie.

[LAUGHS]

You clean up pretty good.

[SCATTERED CHUCKLING]

There's also someone who ate
here with us over the years

but who won't be back.

Lenny Ross was my, uh, oldest friend,

my closest confidant,

my getaway driver,

and I lost him this week,
and it hurts like hell.

But...

Lenny would hate it

if we got all teary and quiet and sad.

So, Lenny...

we'll miss you.

And save me a seat at your table,

and I'll see you on down the road.
