Tony, put out a BOLO
on FBI Agent Robert Stahl.

He's to be considered armed, dangerous,

and likely holding a hostage.

[thwack]

Any luck with the real estate?

No dice, Stahl doesn't own any
property outside of the city.

Woz, Woz, you got any idea
what the hell Gail Baker's

doing in your office?

How sure are you that Stahl has her?

You don't have time
to cover your ass, Gail.

I heard Harlee was a person
of interest in a homicide, Matt.

From who? Stahl?

Harlee wouldn't go anywhere
without Cristina.

You know that.

[sighs] I can assign an HRT team

to assist in the search.

You run deep background checks
on your employees, correct?

Does Stahl have any property?

Not that I'm aware of.

What about his dead partner?

Do you want me to run
every property owned by agents

in New York, Matt?

Gail, you're too good
at your job not to know

that Stahl was screwing
his partner's wife

- while he was undercover.
- If I had known that,

he would've been gone a long time ago.

You've been doing damage control for him

since you picked me up!

I'd check your sources on that, Matt.

And you've been feeding
information to Internal Affairs

so one of us gets pinched so
Stahl's investigation blows up,

and you can cut him loose!

I'm not gonna let you do
the same thing to Harlee.

Where was Stahl screwing his mistress?

They met somewhere upstate.

It was her place. That's all I know.

Do you have an address?

I can get it.

You wore a wire.

You gave me enough evidence
to convince the highers up

this wasn't a colossal waste of time.

That terminates your obligation
to the bureau, Matt.

I wish I could say "congratulations."

Oh, God, I love this time of year.

[creaking]

Have you ever watched a moth
circle around a flame, Harlee?

It's pure instinct.

It's a desire that's
so consuming you just cannot

fight it with logic or reason.

Why would you want to?

It's a beautiful thing,
just kind of dancing

on the edges of survival.

The danger, the pain,
none of that matters.

It doesn't mean anything.

And once you get close enough,
actually feel the heat,

the burning, and you realize

it's been your entire purpose,
and that's why you don't let go.

That's why you push yourself
further into the flame,

giving up all resistance,
consumed entirely.
