10x17 - Keep You Safe

Post by bunniefuu »

And we said no special treatment.

We have to keep it professional.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

I saw one of your medics

making out with Chief Hawkins.

What's that about?

[PHONE RINGS]

CFD brass.

That was the deputy chief paramedic.

He wants to see me in his office

first thing tomorrow morning.

His name's Javi.
He's only ten years old,

unaccompanied immigrant,

and he's kind of latched on to me.

I know that we don't have
room here for a ten-year-old

but we have room in our hearts.

Okay, I made PB&J again.

- Javi says he likes it, so...
- Uh, yeah, that's fine.

I am taking Otis into daycare
a little early today.

- [SPEAKING SPANISH]
- English.

Do you know... fracciónes?

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Yeah, I do. Here.

I think I do.

You know, let...
Let's look at this later, okay?

'Cause we're running late.

Cuanto tiempo...

How long will you take me to school?

Well, uh, we have a meeting
with your case worker

in two days,
and, uh, then we'll find out

how long you'll be here.

Miss Melissa said maybe an aunt

is there for me?

[SOFT SENTIMENTAL MUSIC]

Somewhere?

Uh, yeah, um, that's one
of the things they'll tell us.

Okay, you two.

- I have to wake up Otis.
- [SIGHS]



Okay, here we go, eh?

Okay, let's go,
let's go, let's go, let's go.

Wait, what do you mean
the jury is still out?

Like, literally a jury?

Basically, yeah.

It's an official complaint.

I gave the deputy chief paramedic

my side of the story,
and now a whole bunch

of white shirts meet
and, uh, decide my fate.

Ugh, Evan, this sounds serious.

You said this was just a frowning matter

not a f*ring matter.

It turns out
it depends on the complaint.

Let's not panic just yet.

No, I am panicking now.
When do they meet?

I have no idea.

I... I hope that you don't get, uh...

Can reschedule my appointment

- with... with Dr. Baldwin.
- I'll wait for you.

Um, I'm gonna need the full work-up

or, you know, I... I freak out,
so that would be great.

Violet!

Chief Boden is looking for you!

Got it. Um, so yeah, let me...

Let me know if anything opens up, okay?

I gotta run.

[APPREHENSIVE MUSIC]



I'll catch up with you later.

Okay.

Hey, Cruz, wait up.

Hey, what's this?

Eh, Cindy, she put together
a bunch of clothes

that the boys had outgrown for Javi.

I know... I know he lost
everything in that fire.

Thank you, Herrmann.
Javi will love these.

So how's everything going with him?

[SIGHS] He's a great kid.

Truth is, me and Chloe
are getting pretty attached.

But it's complicated 'cause, you know,

he's anxious to find a relative,

and the case workers,
they're out there looking, so...

- Uh, good morning to you.
- Good morning.

Violet.

Come on in. Meet your new partner.

Emma Jacobs. Great to meet you, Violet.

- Same.
- Emma's been working

out in Glen Ellyn for a few years.

She just transferred to CFD.

Oh, well, you are gonna love
the action here.

[ALARM BLARES]

Ambulance , Squad , Truck ...

And on cue.

Motor vehicle accident,

intersection of Kedzie and Ogden.

[SIRENS WAILING]

[TENSE MUSIC]



- Just one vehicle involved?
- Yeah, it was crazy.

They had to be going miles an hour

- when they hit that light pole.
- Give us some space.

Give us some sp...

Where's the rest of it?

[GRUNTING]

[TENSE MUSIC]

Hey, hang tight, all right?
Help is on the way.

All right, squad, extricate these two

while we figure out what
happened to the rest of this car.

Yeah, will do.
Hey, Cruz, grab the Hurst.

Copy that.

Okay, to Main, give me
a three-ambulance response.

- Get a C-collar on this guy.
- On it.

Not entirely joking,

did the rest of it just disintegrate?

I think it went that way.

Hey, whoa.

Gallo, Mason, you go get the backboard

- and the Hurst tool, all right?
- Copy that.



, I got another victim.

Copy, .

She's alive.

- [COUGHING]
- Just relax, okay?

You've been in an accident.

All right.

Okay, let's get this collar on you.

Cruz, we're never
gonna get this door open.

Maybe we can pull him out
through the back?

Yeah, let's get the driver out first.

- We'll get a better look inside.
- Copy.

[HURST TOOL BUZZING]

Hey, man, can you swing your legs around

- nice and slow?
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

Here you go.

Easy, oh, whoa.

- Easy, easy, whoa.
- No, no, I'm good.

No, no, no. Take a seat here.

There you go. Just relax, okay?

We'll do all the work.



- Good?
- Yeah.

All right.

Guys, help me peel back the windshield?

Yeah.

- ETA on that backboard?
- [SOBS]

Coming in, Lieutenant.

- Here we go.
- [WHIMPERS]

- Lieutenant, this door?
- Yeah.

- All right. I got you.
- [HURST TOOL BUZZING]

- What's your name?
- Adriana.

Pretty name. My name's Stella.

W... where are the others?

They're about feet away.

Back at the intersection.

But hey, let's not worry
about them right now, okay?

Let's just focus on you.

- All right?
- [WHIMPERS]

Breathe in through you nose.
[METAL RATTLES]

[GASPS]

- That's good, that's good.
- [WHIMPERING]

Okay, very good.

Gonna put a C-collar on you. Okay?

All right.

Mason, I need your long webbing.

Take a few deep breaths.
A few deep breaths.

- I got it, I got it.
- Okay.

- It's okay.
- All right.

I know you feel okay right now,

but that is because you have
a lot of epinephrine

coursing through your blood stream,

which is also known as adrenaline.

You could be hurt and not even know it,

so I need you to stay put, okay?

All right, I'm gonna get a listen.

Can you breathe for me?

Paramedic chief is here.

Uh, yeah, can you bring him up to speed?

Uh, sure, but you're the PIC.

I'm just gonna check on the passenger.



Jacobs, where are we at?

Uh, we got the driver out.

There's still one more victim
in the front seat

and another in the back which is, like,

way the hell over there.

- Ready, Cruz?
- Yup.



His injuries are beyond the
scope of medical intervention.

DOA.

We got a broken arm, lacerations,

and possible head trauma.

Okay, , take her to Med.

I got two more ambos on the way.

One will take the body to the coroner,

the other will take the driver.

Where's the driver?

I don't know, he was right there.

We got a runner.

The car is registered to a Luke Weber.

It hasn't been reported stolen.

Is this our runner?

No, that looks like the DOA
in the passenger seat.

- Really?
- Yeah, you can check

with the coroner, but either way,
that's not the driver.

You guys got, what, half a dozen

firefighters on the scene
and nobody sees

- this guy walking away?
- Hey.

We were a little busy.

Look, I didn't smell booze
on his breath,

the medics didn't think
he was on anything.

He was a little rattled,
but we didn't think

he was gonna bolt.

So what's the story here?

If not a DUI, they weren't
fleeing from the police,

not a street race,

why are they trying to break the
sound barrier on south Kedzie?

Run of the mill stupidity?

Stupidity could get him manslaughter,

no wonder he ran.

Where'd the other survivor end up?

- I'll see what she has to say.
- Chicago Med.

Thanks.

[SIGHS] That was pretty heavy.

What was?

The call we were just on?

Where the car was ripped in half

and the front passenger was DOA?

Oh, yeah. Crazy.

So what was up with you
avoiding Chief Hawkins?

I... I wasn't avoiding him.

He seems okay to me.

I know some people think
he's kind of uptight.

You don't like him?

I like him fine.

It was like a giant tore the car in half

and threw the pieces
in the opposite directions.

I've never seen anything like it.

I've seen a handful of those in my day,

but not this bad
and never with survivors.

[SIGHS]

What's wrong?

That was Javi's school.
They want me to go

to a parent-teacher conference
after shift.

- Oh, that can't be good.
- Mouch.

He's right. When you get called in,

means the kid done wrong. Trust me.

I don't know how to handle
something like this.

- Otis doesn't get in trouble.
- Because he can't talk yet.

You're into a whole new world now

with a kid Javi's age.

[GROANS]

- Hey!
- Hey.

Looks like the, uh, woman from the crash

- is gonna be okay.
- Yeah?

Yeah, she just has a concussion,
no internal injuries.

They're gonna keep her for a few days,

but I think she should be fine.

Oh, good news.

She could have had it a lot worse.

No kidding.

- Thanks, Vi.
- Uh-huh.

- Lieutenant.
- Hi.

Sorry I kept you waiting
on that webbing.

- Unacceptable.
- It was two seconds.

I wouldn't call it a fire able offense.

I'm gonna work the kinks
out of my system.

It won't happen again.

I'm gonna show you a little trick

that I picked up from Captain Casey.

You always put your long webbing

in your left pocket.

All right? [CLICKS TONGUE]

- That's a great tip.
- Mm-hmm.

I'm gonna set it up that way right now.

All right.

[APPREHENSIVE MUSIC]



Yeah. Thanks for the update.

Hey, so that cop, Hedrick?

He says the woman in the back seat

can't remember how the accident happened

and that everything's a blur.

Did she ID the driver?

No, I guess she only
really knows the deceased.

The driver's just a friend of his.

Well, I found this in my coat pocket.

- Not yours?
- Uh, good luck withdrawing

, bucks from my checking account.

- Looks like blood.
- Also not mine.

Look, the withdrawal was made
this morning,

minutes before the high-speed crash.

How'd it end up in your coat pocket?

I mean, it didn't fall in.

I think that woman put it in there,

but why?

Adriana?

Uh, you remember me? Stella?

Yeah, um, hi.

- Hey.
- Hi.

- How you feeling?
- Okay.

- Ah.
- Yeah.

Thank you.

Well, f... for rescuing me.

I was just... Just doing my job.

I, um...

I think this might be yours?

I found it in my coat pocket
after, um, the accident.

It's not mine.

Did they catch the driver?

- No, not yet.
- Hmm.

[APPREHENSIVE MUSIC]

How did Luke know the guy?

Luke?

Sorry, I... I thought you told police

that you were friends
with the other passenger.

Um, yeah. Yeah, right.

Um, but, like, I... I don't know

how they knew each other.



Um...

Sorry to bother you.

Uh, yeah, you should get some rest.

How long were you working the suburbs?

Uh, couple years.

Just been waiting for
the chance to dive in here.

How'd you end up a paramedic
in the first place?

Actually I started by studying pre-med

at Johns Hopkins for undergrad.
Class of .

Wow, that's... That's not a usual path.

I was thinking
emergency doctor at first,

but ultimately decided
the adrenaline rush

of ambulance work was better
than the inside of any hospital,

so I headed back to Chicago.

You just gotta be ready.

Like, for example, all right?

Teacher says, "Uh, your daughter glued

another girl's head to the table."

So you get a shocked look on your face

and you say, "What kind of school

would use glue that strong
around children?"

See? You flip it.

- Glue?
- Yeah.

I use the same approach
with scissors too.

All right? "How could you have

"real scissors around teenagers?

You had to have seen it coming."

Huh.

Hey, Violet?

How long does it take
for a bruise to fade

and get a purple color going?

About two or three days I guess.

But everybody's different. Why?

Come on.

It's nice to meet you, Mr. Cruz.

Oh, uh, Joe, please.

Okay, then have a seat, Joe.

Uh, you know, the thing is,
uh, Ms. Selig, um,

Javi is a... a really great kid.

Oh, I agree with you.

You do?

Javi isn't in trouble, Joe.

[SIGHS] Oh.

[CLEARS THROAT]

I called you in because
Javi's been acting differently

the past week or so.

Much happier, to be honest,

and more interactive with the class.

And he's starting
to use his English too.

He's coming out of his shell.

[SOFT SENTIMENTAL MUSIC]

Um, that's re... That's really great.

Whatever you and your wife are doing,

it's making a big difference.

He told me yesterday
you two can help him

with his homework?

- A... absolutely, yes.
- That's wonderful.

Here is a packet of all of the upcoming

and past due assignments

so you can get started right away.

Oh, wow.

This seems like a lot
for a fourth grader.

Uh, but no problem.

Yes, we got this.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

She insisted
that the receipt wasn't hers.

- Did you call her on it?
- I was about to,

but then I saw this bruise on her neck.

And Violet confirmed
that she probably had it

- prior to the accident.
- What does that mean?

That...

This girl is being super cagey.

So I think that that bruise
is part of the reason why.

I mean, look, she was wearing
a high-necked top

when we came upon her,
but in a hospital gown

there's no hiding it.

You sure this bruise is relevant?

That could have been from anything.

No, it couldn't.
That's the kind of bruise

you get when you... somebody's
trying to choke you out.

Yeah, I... um...

My ex.

[APPREHENSIVE MUSIC]



[CLEARS THROAT]

It sounds like it's time

to get this receipt to the police.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

So a verbal warning.

That doesn't sound that bad.

I wouldn't say
it was a lot of fun either.

[GROANS]

But...

The real issue is from here on out

I'll be under a microscope.

- And you too, maybe.
- [GROANS]

I can't believe we kissed on shift.

The kiss isn't the real issue.

They seemed more concern
with how much time

and attention I've been giving you.

Covering full shifts on ambo,

popping by the firehouse
as often as I do.

You know, basically all
the stuff that annoys Gallo.

Wait, was the kiss even
mentioned in the complaint?

I do not know.

I'm not allowed to see it.

So is there a chance that Righetti

isn't the one who filed the complaint?

And maybe it was Gallo.

You know him better than I do.

But whoever it was...

This is obviously becoming a problem.



Violet, I think we need
to take a step back from us.

Just some time apart.

I'm sorry.



- Hey, guys.
- Hey.

What do you got for me?

So this came from the scene
of that accident.

It's a high-value ATM withdrawal

just prior to the crash.

Seems like it might be
worth looking into.

Huh, interesting.

Where'd you find it?

One of my guys picked it up.

Was the cash in the car?

Or on any of the victims?

No, not... Not that we saw.

Be nice to catch a break in this case.

Forensics couldn't pull a
single useable print from the car.

I'll run this down,
see what we can find out.

- Thanks for bringing it by.
- Yeah, you bet.

What?

Nothing.

Okay, sure, I'll take
states and capitals.

Maps are fun, right?

All right, then I guess I will take...

colonial America.

[GRUNTS]

Well, I don't remember
anything about that, but...

Me neither.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Okay, only two subjects left
to divvy up.

We're doing great.

English and math. Ooh.

You're reading "Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory"?

- Oh! I'll take that.
- [STAMMERS]

And I have to take
dividing unit fractions?

No way.

[SOFT SENTIMENTAL MUSIC]

- No way.
- [CHUCKLES]

Hey, careful, all right?

This is a battle you don't want
to get stuck in the middle of.

All right, rock, paper, scissors.

- Bring it on.
- Uh-oh.

- [CHUCKLES]
- One, two...

- Oh, ho, ho!
- No!

"Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory," here I come.

Oh! No fractions for me. Hey!

- No! Oh, hey!
- [LAUGHS]

Javi, hold me, hold me.
She's crazy, she's crazy!

- No! No!
- Oh, my God, oh, my God, no!

Okay, okay!

That ATM receipt was a real find.

The account belongs to Luke Weber,

the owner of the vehicle.

Guy that d*ed in the crash.

He actually made
three withdrawals that morning.

All within an hour,
all at different branches,

and all for the maximum amount.

Sounds like he was being
pressed into it.

You got that right.

We pulled footage
from the bank security cameras.

Does, uh, this guy look familiar?

Yep. That's the driver.

It's all starting to make sense now.

So your gunman here,
he kidnaps or carjacks

the other two and then he drives around,

draining the victims' bank accounts

- , bucks at a time?
- Simple as that.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

That woman you pulled out of the wreck,

she's in a stable condition now, right?

Mm-hmm.

She didn't explain any of that to you?

She took a real sh*t to the head.

Can't recall anything from that morning.

So we still don't have a name,
still can't find the guy,

but at least now we know what happened.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

- Stella.
- Hey there.

You look great.

How you feeling?

A little better.

I gave the cops that receipt,

and they took a look
at the security footage

from the ATM machine.

Look, Adriana,

I can't say for sure
what's going on here,

but I do have a pretty good idea.

I think that you do know

the guy who was driving that car.

I think you know him really well.

I think that he is the kind of guy

who likes to take people by the neck.

And I get it.

You're scared.

And you want to do the right thing.

But slipping that receipt
into my coat pocket,

it's not enough.

The cops, they want to know his name.

But if you don't tell them
before they figure out

what your relationship really is...

There's nothing anybody can do
to help you.


You don't understand.

Yeah, I do.

[APPREHENSIVE MUSIC]



It's hard.

Turning in somebody
that you once cared about.

It feels like a betrayal.

But... God, he has already betrayed you.

And he'll never stop

until you take a stand.

Adriana, if you come forward,

I will do everything in my power

to keep you safe.

That's a promise.

I need to draw some blood, hon.



Hey, I couldn't help but notice

you walked right by me
in the locker room.

And again in the common room.

And right now in the tower.
Violet, what's going on?

You're really gonna pretend
you don't know?

Wha... I don't have to pretend,
'cause I don't know.

[ALARM BLARES]

Ambulance , multiple victims down,

north Broadway.

[TENSE MUSIC]

[SIREN WAILING]

Hey, you guys better hurry up.

It's a w*r zone in there.

The EFC got chippy
with the other team again.

EFC?

Yeah, the Edgewater Fight Club.

It's the beer league
hockey team over here.

Bunch of bench brawlers
that ruin every practice.

- Hey, over here.
- What happened?

Classic stick duel,

he got caught in the cross-check.

I was trying to stop these pinheads,

and somebody cracked me
right in the mouth.

- Well, what's the damage?
- Let me have a look.

Aw, jeez, it's bad. Is it bad?

Uh, no, no, I've... I've seen worse.

Um, are you having
any trouble breathing?

Not really. Well, I mean,

vision's a little im... A little fuzzy

- in my right eye.
- Yeah, it's 'cause your nose

got knocked completely sideways.

- Aw, really?
- Yeah.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Emma, I'll take over here.

Why don't you check on
that gentleman, please.

Okay. What happened to you?

[VOICE MUFFLED] I lost a tooth.

Uh, no, you lost two teeth.

Oh, that means I must
have swallowed the other one.

Well, this one still has its roots.

Just soak it in some milk, keep it moist

until you can see your dentist.

As for the other one, it'll pass

through the narrowest part
of your digestive tract

within to hours.
Put that on your mouth.

You okay? What happened to you?

And let's reach out to Hope Lutheran

in Indianapolis too.

Sounds good. Thanks, Ellen.

- Sorry about that, guys.
- No problem.

new refugee minors
entered our system this week.

It's been a nightmare
trying to place them all.

We just don't have enough
sponsor homes available.

We're putting calls out everywhere.

Damn.

Well, thank you for all that you do.

- You have an amazing program.
- Appreciate that, Joe.

Now, let's talk about Javi.

As you guys know, our first goal is

to reunify a child with their family,

but in Javi's case, the chances are slim

and narrowing as we speak.

What about an aunt?

Javi was under the impression
that was a possibility?

We've put leads out everywhere,

but haven't found a trace.

[SIGHS]

Javi's gonna be so disappointed.

He's brought it up a couple of times.

I'm sorry.

And we appreciate all you two have done.

But if this situation with Javi
isn't going to work out

for you long-term,
I need to know that now

so we can start looking
for a new home for him ASAP.

I think a total of six teeth were lost

at that one scrimmage.

Couple of those guys, might be time

- to hang up the skates.
- Yeah.

You're pretty unflappable
with the bloody stuff.

Have you always been that way?

Yeah, it's never really bothered me.

- Hmm.
- Hey, we make a great team.

Never been much for the touchy-feely.

- Yeah, I noticed that.
- [TRUCK DOOR SLAMS]

Uh, I'll be inside in just a minute.

- How could you do that?
- Do what?

- Vi, what's going on with you?
- I know it was you

that outed my relationship
with Hawkins to the brass.

- Are you serious?
- You made it very clear

that you were not a big fan
of me and him.

- Who else would it have been?
- Look, stop.

Righetti was at Molly's the other night

and he was telling everyone that he saw

you two kissing at Med.

[APPREHENSIVE MUSIC]

Wait, what? Who did he tell?

Anyone that would listen.

And I told him if he kept spreading

rumors about you, I'd lay him out.

But I was too late.

That's what you were trying to tell me.

Mm, yeah.

I wanted you to know he'd
already filed the complaint.

Blake, I'm... I'm so, so sorry.

I just thought 'cause of the way

- you acted before that it had...
- No, it...

No matter the way I've acted,
over-protective, jealous,

whatever you want to call it, I...

I would never do anything to hurt you.

You're one
of my closest friends, Violet.

I mean, I thought you were.



Adriana.

I didn't know what he was planning.

- Look, I had no idea.
- It's okay.

It's...

Come on, just sit down.

Look, he just pulled a g*n on this guy

and told me to get in the car.

- Like, I didn't want to, but...
- But you were scared.

Right, and I... And I told myself,

"Why make him mad?"

This will all be over in ten minutes.

But then he saw how much money
this guy had in his bank account,

and he just got this look in his eye.

And then all the ATMs,
they just stopped paying out.

They probably hit
their daily withdrawal limit.

Yeah, but Tiller, he... He wanted

to wait until the next day
and do it all over again.

Tiller.

Y... yeah. Yeah.

And he wanted to take this guy

and hold him prisoner overnight.

And I told him, like,
"Baby, we cannot do this."

But he wouldn't listen to me.

So I tried to get out of the car,

but then he just hit the gas
and he went faster and faster,

and I couldn't get out of the car,

and then we...

And then you crashed.



[SNIFFLES]

It's okay.

Adriana...

Can you help the police find Tiller?

I think so.



Yeah, sounds good.

Okay, thanks.

Tiller Martell was just picked
up at his cousin's house.

He's in custody.

Thanks for the tip.

You got a safe place to go?

Um, my sister. She lives in Oak Park.

Grab your things, I'll give you a ride.

What kind of protection can she expect

- for coming forward?
- Protection from what?

This dirtbag is good
for aggravated kidnapping

and first-degree m*rder.

He's gonna be in adult diapers
by the time he gets out.

You and I both know

that a lot has to go right first.

So until then, you need
to keep her in the loop.

Where he's being held,
when he gets transferred,

if he makes bail, all of it.

She has to hold up her end too.

People always talk the talk
at this stage,

but when it comes time to testify...

She already stuck her neck out for you.

Do not abandon her.

[APPREHENSIVE MUSIC]

We'll loop her in every step of the way.

You got my word.



Hey, you reach out
to any of those numbers

that I gave you,
they're great organizations.

And you need anything else,
just call me.

Okay?

Thank you, Stella.



Good.

I thought...

I thought Violet was coming out tonight.

So did I.

- What are you gonna do?
- [CHUCKLES]

It's time for another one of these.

Maybe slow down there, friend.

This round's on me, guys.

Thanks for the warm welcome at .

- It is much appreciated.
- Ooh, what timing.

What he means is "thank you."

But the... The timing was impeccable.

[CHUCKLES] Well, I'm happy

it worked out for you, Gallo.

I'm gonna run to the restroom,

and then I'll be back to join you.

- She's all right.
- I guess so.

Hi.

Hi.

Uh, you know,
hovering around my apartment

isn't exactly keeping a distance.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, that's subjective.

Mm, no, it's really not.

Fair.

Um, turns out, staying away?

That's not so easy.

Seems impossible even.

Violet...

Why do I miss you so much
when I'm not with you?

Maybe because we're not
supposed to be apart.

[SENTIMENTAL MUSIC]



Okay, uh, show us what you got.

- [GASPS] !
- Yes!

[BOTH LAUGH]

- An , that is a B!
- [INDISTINCT]

He got a B in fractions.

- Uh-huh, yeah, I saw.
- Oh, we did so good, Javi.

Yes!

Una B en fracciónes.

Chloe is good helper.

- Yeah, I know.
- This is all you, Javi.

We're really proud.

Uh, hey, Javi, um,

we gotta talk to you about something.

[SIGHS]

Uh, so, um,

we... we... we saw Eddie,

your... your case worker.

Uh...

Sweetie, they can't find your aunt

or any other family in the U.S. for you.

I'm sorry.

No... no aunt?

Uh, no, no. I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I... I don't want to live

with someone else I don't know.

Even if they are called an aunt.

Maybe...

I can stay here?



Yeah, of course, Javi,
that's what we want too.

Sí, sí. [SPEAKS SPANISH]

- Sí?
- Sí.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

- Sí!
- Sí.

- [LAUGHS]
- Aww.

Oh! [CHUCKLES]

Thank you.



First-degree alone is years, so...

knock on wood,

he will be locked up for a long time.

I gotta admit, for a while there

I was worried
you were walking a fine line.

But you knew
exactly what you were doing.

[SIGHS]

You should be happy.

This is the best possible outcome.

I mean, tell that to Adriana.

She still has to live with the scars,

the constant worry of, you know,

something going wrong
and him walking free.

Stella...

You did all you could do.

And you did good.
