Previously on "nypd blue"...

Captain fraker,

Your wife and kids know
about detective pearson?

You stay the hell away
from my family.

Back off rodriguez.

Then you and your friend can
romp around all you like

While mom and the kids
sit at home ignorant
and proud of daddy.

I was a decent, honest cop,
and you mowed me down.

Whether or not you knew
you were dirty,

You got dealt a hand
I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

But what you are now‐‐

Bitter, petty, vengeful‐‐
that’s on you.

So you call me a rat if that’s
what gets you to sleep at night,

But my conscience is clear.

Rita...

I really hope
we can stay friends.

After two people break up,

The whole "let’s stay friends"
thing is a little naive

And kind of insulting,
to be honest.

I’m glad you made it out.

I am, too. Our schedules
haven’t made it easy.

We should think
about getting married...

If you want to.

Yeah.

I do.

Look at you.

Light milk.

Light sugar.

You’re scoring points left
and right here.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.

So I spent the night.

Yep.

And from what I can tell,
neither of us is freaking out.

Not at all.

You take honey
in your coffee?

Nope. [ Sighs ]

[ Laughing ] no!

Yeah.

We can’t!
Sure, we can.

We’re gonna be late.

Just a little bit.

[ Sighs ]

Mm‐mmm!

John, you‐‐

You can’t just walk in here and
pour honey on me

Then lick it off
and get me...

All excited and then make love
to me all over again.

Keep talking.

You can’t just do that,
john.

Damn.

You can’t just...
[ Sighs ]

[ Groans ]

Turn over.

Turn...over.

Mmm...

[ Chuckles ]

[ Moans ]

John, we can’t.

Yes...we can.

[ Moans ]

Morning.

Hey. Uh, d. O. A.’S the owner‐‐
korean.

Robbery?

Money’s
still in the register.

Witnesses?

Nothing yet.

Call you later.

Blood trail coming from
behind the counter.

Close range.

We’re pulling
the security video,

See if it caught anything.

Vcr wasn’t plugged in.

Perfect.

Still got his wallet on him.
Maybe this was a beef.

Yeah, or he wouldn’t open
the till.

Morning, everybody.
Morning.

Morning, rita.

Save it, okay?

[ Scoffs ]

How much more of this bullshit
am I gonna have to take?

You were expecting...

A little civility, maybe.

So not a lot of female
interaction

Growing up in that bubble.

It’s been a month.

Okay. So, back
to the dead guy here?

Yeah, sorry.

Nothing on the canvass.

2‐5 Caught a grocer homicide
last night, the same m. O.‐‐

Guy in a mask,
no robbery.

Korean grocer?

Pakistani.

There’s no witnesses,
but their security camera showed

The perp touching
a freezer case on his way out.

Crime scene got a good lift.

It came back to
a terry parkhearst.

Took a collar for public
intox two years ago.

He’s clean past that.

Got an address
on parkhearst?

Fifth and d.
John, I miss any calls?

No calls, detective.

Try to stay cool, greg.

I‐i’m fine.

He’s on the list
for second grade.

Announcements out today?

I’ve been on the list five times
before, so it’s no big deal.

That said,
i’d prefer not to jinx it.

Snatch up this parkhearst?

I’ll meet you downstairs.

Detective mcdowell?
Judge eileen walden.

Um, can you tell her to hold
on one sec?

This your friend the judge?

Yeah, everything else is on
hold‐‐ the food, cake.

I’m just waiting to see
if she’s available, so...

You sure this
is what you want?

You planned this awful fast, and
it’s gonna be real small.

Doesn’t have to be.

Oh, I don’t want big.

I‐i don’t want vegas,
but small, at home,

With friends‐‐ yeah.

Then let’s do it.

Well, I don’t know
if she’s available yet.

Answer the call
and find out.

But this is what you want,
right?

Look, if the wedding’s in
a church or a shoe box,

It don’t matter to me.

I just want
the marriage part.

Andy, you got a minute?

Yeah.

[ Sighs ]

[ Laughs ]

Eileen, hey.

How have you been?

What’s up?

Just got off with
deputy commissioner mueller‐‐

No detectives working
in the same squad.

I know the policy.

He was supposed to find
a way around it.

Mueller took it as far
as the commissioner.

Request denied.

Whatever you two decide
transfer‐wise, i’ll understand.

What if we decided
to just go forward?

If I knew about it,
i’d have to kick it upstairs.

But what you don’t know
can’t hurt you, right?

Andy, you’re not gonna get
a problem from me,

But if it gets out of this
command, one of you has to go.

I’m sorry.

Thanks for trying.

[ Door opens ]

You want me to help you
break the door down?

I can hear you in there!
Open up!

[ Grunts ]

Sorry.
I don’t move so fast.

We’re looking for
terry parkhearst.

He’s not here.

You mind if we check?

The butler will take
your coat.

Who are you?

I’m mike parkhearst,
terry’s brother.

Who are you?

Detectives clark and sipowicz.
Where’s terry now?

Why?

We want to talk to him.
When do you expect him back?

Not soon.
What’d he do?

You know where
he might have gone?

He takes long drives
I don’t go on, so, no.

Now, what did he do or you get
the hell out of here.

Somebody saw him
near a crime scene.

We want to know if he got
a look at the perp.

So you generally barge in
on potential witnesses?

I don’t think I buy that.

Could‐‐ could you hand
me that towel?

Your brother been having
financial trouble?

Terry wouldn’t do a robbery.

He’s quiet.
He reads.

Not your guy.

Why you sweating, mike?
Something bothering you?

An onrushing urinary‐tract
infection,

One of the joys of my
little deal here.

Thanks for your concern.

You need medication?

I got some.

You in the service?

Army.
What unit?

101St airborne.
Served in the gulf.

That what put you
in the chair?

Land mine.

This is fun, but I don’t
know where terry is,

And I don’t know when
he’s gonna be back,

But I do know that you are
looking for the wrong guy.

Can you account for him
this morning?

He was with me from early last
night till about 20 minutes ago.

Still, tell him to call us
when he gets in.

Right.

D.o.a.’S son said they were
being shook down

By some thug in their
neighborhood.

Supposedly hooked up with
some asian g*ng‐‐ jimmy kim.

We’ll go grab him up.

[ Laughs ]

You got it?

Yeah!
Second grade, baby!

Hot off the teletype!

Way to go, greg.

Yeah,
getting promoted friday.

Congratulations!

Yeah, hey, at this rate, i’ll
make first grade when i’m 90.

Don’t downplay it, medavoy.
This is a big deal.

You should be really proud.

Thanks.

You know, actually,
I was thinking last night,

Regardless of whether
I got the promotion,

And I started taking stock of
my time on the job

And how much it’s meant to me,
and i’ll tell you,

The words really started
flowing.

So I wrote it down.

Um, if you don’t mind,
i’d like to read it to you.

How long is this thing?
Andy...

Go ahead, greg.

"Men and women of valor
are we,

"Defending peace
as best we can,

"And though it may not be plain
for everyone to see,

"We’re the luckiest sons of
b*tches in the land.

For when evil rides in
on his dark horse..."

That’s beautiful,
detective.

It really is, greg.

Uh...

I‐i’m gonna hang it by
my desk,

And you can finish reading
it when you want.

Anyways...

Rita, you got a sec?

Sure.

One minute.

Come on.

You’re acting like I left you

With four hungry children
and a crop in the field.

How long you been saving
up that line?

Am I missing out on
something here?

Did we not date for a while,
and it was fun,

And then it faded out,
and we called it off?

I’m glad to hear
it meant that much to you.

It did, but we’ve moved on,
right?

That’s right.

Why am I constantly having
to worry if rita is in a mood?

Oh, my god, could you be any
more condescending?

It’s true,

And then again today with these
looks and comments.

I wouldn’t have my new
boyfriend drop me off

In front of a crime scene
when I knew you’d be there.

I had her drop me off a block
away out of respect for you.

Oh, you’re so respectful.

Okay, you know, next time,
i’ll have her drop me off

Six blocks away
from the crime scene,

And i’ll wear a trench coat
and groucho glasses.

Will that make
you feel better?

You know, sometimes you can
be a real assh*le.

[ Chuckles ]

Oh...

Jin yon kim, 19 years old.
Have a seat.

I go by "jimmy," sir.

"Suspect in a series of home
invasions,

Suspect in extorting
local businesses."

Ran with the wrong crowd
for a little while.

Turned my life around.
I go to suny now‐‐ 4.0.

These charges look pretty
recent to me,

Unless you’re calling these
cops and detectives liars.

I’ve changed my life, sir.

You know a jun ho shin,
owns a bodega on 7th and "c"?

He got k*lled today.

I know the bodega,
don’t know him.

We got it on good authority

That you were trying to shake
him down for protection money.

[ Chuckles ]
no, not me.

Can you account for
your day?

Mostly at school.
Check with my teachers.

If something went bad with
the owner of that store,

You need to level with
us now.

I’m telling you,
I didn’t do this.

Why do you victimize your own
people, jimmy, huh?

’Cause you know they won’t
go to the police?

No.

Or is it ’cause you’ve been
treated bad by the round eye,

So you go after who you
think is lower than you?

No.

Or because they embarrass you
with their accents?

Are you afraid that somebody
might confuse you with them?

Or do you just think it’s not a
crime if it’s your own people?

I didn’t do it.

I’m a full‐time student getting
straight a’s.

Take your straight a’s
and shove ’em up your ass.

I’m just telling you
who I am, sir.

And don’t call me "sir,"
you phony little prick!

I was with
the wrong crowd‐‐

If you deny it one more time,
you’re gonna get hit.

Whatever the reason, jimmy, you
need to know something‐‐

It rubs me the wrong way,

And now you are gonna force
your own people

To start keeping g*ns
behind the counter

Just like the dominicans
had to end up doing,

And one day, you’re gonna get
your brains blown out

Or you’re gonna get i. D.’D

Or you’re gonna leave
a fingerprint somewhere,

And i‐‐ look at me!

I am gonna be the guy

That drags you out of
your house in cuffs.

Or maybe you end up with
nothing.

Same thing you got now.

You won’t make it to 21, jimmy.
I promise you.

Your day‐‐

Every minute of it.

Come on in.

How are you, tony?

Great. You?

I tried to alert you
a long time ago

That this command
was out of control,

And now it’s clear that my
concerns have been realized.

You got a serious problem
on your hands.

Namely?

I’ve had my men sit on
your squad.

10 Times, detectives
have left early.

15 Times, detectives
have come in late.

Four times, detectives
have taken 2‐hour meals.

Don’t tell me they wore white
socks while they ate.

And detective sipowicz’s
chumminess

With local drug dealers?

That’s called keeping
your ear to the ground.

So they’re informants.

Yeah.
Registered informants?

If they weren’t, he must have
been trying to turn ’em out.

You also had a detective
who moonlighted as a bouncer

At a club that serves
alcohol.

I’m not messing around
this time, tony,

So you might want to lose
the stupid grin.

This has nothing to do with
how I run my squad.

This is a personal vendetta.

If it were only that easy
for you.

I’m calling the chief of
detectives,

And i’m letting him know
it’s obvious

You’re out to get me
and detective sipowicz.

You want to cut to the chase
and call the chief of d’s,

I’ll present my case backed up
with factual evidence

Of negligence and dereliction,
and you can stomp your feet

And cry about how
you’re getting picked on.

I grew up in washington
heights, captain.

I can take anything you throw
at me plus.

By 5:00, I want all your sign‐in
and‐out books, roll calls,

And movement logs since
you assumed command.

I’m in the middle
of a homicide investigation.

I’ll get to it
when I get to it.

Whoa, what’s this?

I don’t know.

How long they been
in there?

A few minutes.
He just barreled in.

It’s too garbled.

Don’t be obvious about it,
medavoy.

My luck, i’m promoted one minute
and in cuffs the next.

He’s coming out.

[ Door opens ]

I’m gonna need access to your
old case files,

Four specifically.

My office will be in touch.

What are you
talking about?

My office will be in touch,
sipowicz.

Stay available
for interviews.

What the hell’s up
his ass now?

He’s got a list
of grievances‐‐

Extended meal periods,
leaving early.

Which of my cases
is he talking about?

What he laid out to me,

It didn’t have anything
to do with old cases.

He say anything about...
Free dry‐cleaning?

Not specifically.
Meantime‐‐ d. O. A.?

The korean kid didn’t go
for it, decent alibi.

We’ll keep an eye on him.

Lady who lives across the street
from the second crime scene,

She didn’t see it go down,

But she saw a black monte carlo
screeching off.

Terry parkhearst owns
a black monte carlo.

So we got him tied to
both m*rder scenes?

We got a line on him?

I called his place five times.
No answer.

Set up on it,
cover the whole area.

Use a team from anticrime
if you need to.

This is our guy.

[ Sighs ]

What’s up?

Boss gave me some news
earlier.

I’ve been mulling it over.

About this‐‐ fraker?

From employee relations,

But fraker nosing around
may have an impact.

They denied our request.

[ Sighs ]

And I was all for saying the
hell with it until fraker shows.

Well, we could put it off

Till we find out
what he’s after.

I can’t stand the idea of that
weasel dictating my life plans.

Then we go ahead with it
and one of us transfers.

That’s an option.

And since you’ve been here much
longer than me‐‐

No‐‐

Andy, it’s all right.

The other option is just
doing it

And keeping our traps shut,
see what happens.

I don’t like going behind
the boss’s back.

He already said if any
heat comes down,

It won’t come from him.

So we keep it quiet.

Good.

Unit 2, be advised‐‐

Negative response
at subject’s apartment.

10‐4 Unit one.

You got plans after work?

You asking me out?

No plans.

We’d like you to come over
to the apartment

For a little something‐‐
a ceremony, a wedding.

You’re kidding.
That’s great.

Yeah,
it’s gonna be small‐‐

Just the squad
and a few friends.

So this is the real deal.

This is it.

Judge friend of connie’s
is presiding.

I’ll be there.

We gotta keep it under wraps on
account of the job.

They could t*rture me.
I won’t cr*ck.

Seriously, congratulations.
I’m really happy for you.

Thanks.

Is it gonna be a problem
if ortiz is there?

Not for me.

If she pushes your buttons,
are you gonna rise to it

Or you gonna let it slide?

I’ll respect the occasion.

Appreciate it.

I’m gonna throw you a wicked
bachelor party.

[ Scoffs ]

Black monte carlo.

Unit 2, be advised‐‐

Subject just entered the block.

10‐4. We got him.

Give him a chance
to park the car.

Whoa, what the hell
are they doing?

He made ’em.
Son of a bitch.

[ Tires screeching ]

Get out of the way!
Move it!

Oh, come on, man!

Go around!

Oh, son of a bitch!

[ Horn honks ]

We searched the area.
Anybody get injured?

No, just shook up.
What happened?

Anticrime spooked him.

Got another bodega sh**ting.
The guy went d. O. A.

Same m. O.?
Sounds like it.

Son of a bitch must have just
been coming home from doing it.

Have mcdowell and ortiz
respond.

You guys wait for this assh*le’s
brother to show up.

Arab, owned the store.

Robbery?

No, same as the others.

Witness said the perp
walked in, fired, walked out.

Did he get a look
at the guy?

No, perp wore a mask.

Like we need this.

Same guy?
Fit the pattern?

Yeah.

What happened to the guy
you were sitting on?

We lost him.
He made us in the street.

So when I walk back to
that chief

And he asks why it went wrong,
what do I tell him.

The guy wrecked three cars
getting away.

We gonna mow down a bunch of
pedestrians going after him?

What now?

I don’t know.

How’d you and rita do
on the canvass?

Nothing, and I got word
from uniform

That terry parkhearst’s car
was found abandoned.

Our judge, eileen, said her
jury’s deliberating,

And they asked that
the entire testimony

For three witnesses
be read back.

She’s not gonna be out
till midnight.

So, justice of the peace?

It’s getting late.

Sorry to eavesdrop,
but have you considered

A friend becoming
a minister online?

The universal church of
tomorrow‐‐ or today‐‐

Something like that‐‐
will ordain anyone online.

It takes 15 minutes,
costs $10.

And it’s legal?

My friend does weddings,
funerals, baptisms, all legal.

Great, let’s do it.

John, would you mind?

Mind what?

Getting certified
and doing the ceremony.

We’re down
to the wire here,

And we got a psycho
on the loose.

I’m flattered‐‐

I’d be honored.

Great, get going.

I need to use anticrime’s
computer to go online.

Anything after I left?

Yeah, the same m. O.
And height/weight description

As the other two homicides.

Medavoy and jones are sitting on
terry parkhearst’s place

Waiting for him
or his brother mike.

We got anything to use
on this mike,

Something to persuade him to
help get his brother?

A wounded gulf w*r vet with no
record‐‐ not much to work with.

What else are we doing?

Terry’s got no phone to dump
for associates,

And no one in the building knows
him or where he hangs out,

So we’re gonna run
his social security number

And talk to past employers.

Afternoon.

Sipowicz, clark.

Bartens.

Let’s talk in there.

Veteran or not, if it takes
putting a thumb on his brother,

Do what you gotta.

We need this guy in.

How come every time I come
into this squad,

I feel like it’s me back
on my heels?

’Cause you got a bad guy
above you‐‐ fraker.

What’s his problem now?

What are you talking about?

You’ve been watching my guys

And are prepared
for a full‐scale investigation.

He said this was something
ongoing, this investigation?

Ongoing for weeks.

There’s no recent
investigation of this squad

That I ever heard of.

Then what is this?

Fraker’s been having
a tough time lately.

Apparently, he was having
an affair with a subordinate,

And last week,
he got found out.

He’s up on charges?

The subordinate’s coming in to
meet with our inspector at 3:00,

Her and her lawyer to discuss
a sexual‐harassment suit,


But as far as the department
coming down on him,

Nothing official yet.

Or maybe not at all?

He was supposed to make deputy
inspector this friday,

But he got passed over.

What’s got him coming here?

He was on a fast track before
he tangled with this squad.

Maybe he’s taking a last sh*t
to break your balls

Before he’s sent packing.

I don’t gotta stand for some
i. A. B. assh*le

Breaking my balls freelance.

If he comes in again,
you give me a call.

I will.

[ Sighs ]

So you haven’t spoken with your
brother all day, mike?

Not since he left
this morning.

You told the other detectives

You were with your brother
all night.

Because him being with you
during the time of these murders

Is getting more and more
implausible.

Yeah?
Well, it’s the truth.

Put the groceries on the table,
and don’t take nothing.

Mike, we understand you wanting
to cover for your brother,

But we’re at a point now
where it’s not helping him.

As opposed to putting
him in jail?

You need to understand‐‐

Time in jail and
the quality of that time

Depends on the reason
behind these killings.

If he could explain why he did
it, he could help himself out.

Like why koreans and arabs.

That got something to do
with what happened to you?

Terry didn’t do anything.

You been living together since
you got back from the w*r?

Yeah.

He sees the difficulty
that you suffer.

Maybe you got some bitterness
toward arabs

That you haven’t been
afraid to express.

He took all this and went
on a k*lling spree.

Call it a misguided attempt to
square up what happened to you.

If that’s the case,

That’s something the judge
needs to hear.

You think i’m stupid?

If you don’t help us,

We’ll have to find him ourselves
and maybe have to k*ll him.

He was with me.

Okay...

How long do you think
you could survive

Without your
veteran’s benefits?

You can’t stop my benefits!

Yeah? Well, we can hold
’em up five, six months.

That and your social security.

You guys are sick!

I served my country!

We got three people
m*rder*d.

We need your brother.

Honestly, i‐i don’t know
where he is.

You know some of the places
he hangs out?

Maybe a few.

I’ll give you
the addresses.

No, you’re coming with us to
help us look for him.

Can I finish putting up my
groceries?

Later. Let’s go.

Medavoy and jones are driving
around with mike parkhearst

Looking for terry.

Good.

How you holding up with
the wedding? Nervous?

Not at all.

Maybe a jitter or two.

You’re marrying
a good woman.

What do you got to
worry about?

When I stand in front
of people

And i’m the center
of attention

And it’s a formal‐type
occasion,

I tend to, uh, sweat a lot.

Just wear an undershirt.

A situation like that,

I could sweat through
a down jacket.

You’ll see.

I’ll be your corner man.
I’ll have a towel ready.

Bring the smelling salts,
too, just in case.

b*at it.

Alejandro hernandez‐‐
three years ago,

You pulled him out of his
apartment

Without a scratch on him,
and somehow,

Between there and
this squad,

He ended up with a busted lip
and two broken ribs.

Alejandro hernandez who r*ped
his 6‐year‐old niece?

How did he get the injuries,
detective?

Slipped on a banana peel.

You abused him under
collar of authority,

And i’m gonna get him
to testify to that.

Enjoy it while you can, ’cause
i’m gonna have your shield.

You want to bring up charges
on me, you go ahead,

But don’t go following me
into the pisser

And squawking like
chicken little.

You think that’s all I got?

Try tampering
with crime scenes

And cohabitating with
a fellow detective.

Lose your voice, sipowicz?

I’m in this ’cause of you,
and you’re going down with me.

What are you talking about?

You’re gone.
You’re done.

Uh‐huh.

Uh‐huh. Yeah.
I got that part.

Greg, where are you guys now?
The boss is asking.

Irvin still up
in anticrime?

I’m pretty sure.

What’s he doing
up there?

Yeah, thanks.

I’m sorry.

I didn’t know that you
saw me get dropped off.

I was running late,
so I caught a ride.

If that hurt you,
I apologize.

You can do what you want,
john.

I don’t want to make you
feel bad,

And i’m not being
condescending.

It’s just that I still care
about you, and I respect you,

And, hell, we were friends,
right?

Weren’t we friends?

We should be able to
work this out.

That’s sweet, and I appreciate
what you’re saying.

I’ll figure it out.

Come on, connie.

What are they doing?

Still driving him around
looking for terry.

Mike’s using the bathroom.

Mike’s not gonna give
up his brother.

You getting a sense for terry’s
possible motive on this?

His brother was k*lling
axis‐of‐evil types

To avenge mike getting
paralyzed in desert storm.

This morning’s d. O. A. Was
from south korea.

What axis are they on?

Obviously, terry’s gotta
be a little nuts.

Hold on.
Who’s who?

Mike’s the brother in
the wheelchair.

Terry’s the perp.

So terry’s out there doing
his own ethnic cleansing

Because of what mike went
through.

I guess mike’s rambling on
a list of complaints

About the gulf w*r‐‐ having to
jump into hot drop zones‐‐

Jumping into hot drop zones?
He didn’t say that.

Greg just said he did.

Greg, this guy say
that he jumped

Into hot d. Z.'S during
desert storm?

You’re sure?

Bring his ass in here now.

No, just do it.

How many combat jumps
you make in the gulf w*r?

Not in the mood
to tell w*r‐‐

5? 10?

Three.

That’s odd, because there were
no combat jumps in the gulf w*r.

What was your m. O. S.?

Why you being disrespectful
to me?

Do you even know what
it stands for?!

I don’t gotta take this.

"m*llitary occupational
specialty"!

And if you were an infantryman,
you would know

That your m*llitary occupational
specialty was 91‐bravo!

91‐Bravo!

Are you happy now?!

It’s 11‐bravo, terry.

The mug sh*t
we were going off of

Thinking it was your brother,
but, you know.

You draw in the beard, some of
that long hair, that’s you.

You got some balls.

Yeah? You got
scuffed‐up shoes, terry.

Not enough time to get out of
your superman outfit

After we chased you?

I served my country.

I gave up my legs so that you
could stand there and‐‐

Ow! What the hell’s
your problem?!

People who lie about doing
m*llitary service, for one!

Help me up.

Guys k*lling hardworking
immigrants,

That also gets to me!

Tell him to stop,

You want it to stop?!
Stand up and walk away, huh?!

Or just lie there,
pretending to be helpless

And we’ll see just how much
those legs can feel!

Get up. Get up.
Get up!

They seem to we working
fine now, you scumbag!

What the hell’s the matter
with you?!

Have you ever took care
of somebody that was sick?

Have you ever wiped
somebody’s ass?

Have you ever cleaned out open,
weeping bedsores?!

You ever tended to somebody
for 24 hours a day?!

And you listen to his
anger about them,

His bitterness about them.

They’re walking around!
He can’t!

Your brother.

I revered him
since I was a kid, man!

I looked up to him,

And I felt my heart turn
into a rock when he d*ed.

You have something to
do with him dying?

No, he had
an infected urinary tract,

Infected kidneys, blood
poisoning.

Did you dump his body so you
could keep cashing his checks?

I took care of him
for 10 years,

And I deserved those checks,
and I earned those checks!

So why’d you start k*lling
people?

If it wasn’t for them,
he’d be walking around today.

If it wasn’t for them,
i’d have a job.

I’d have a woman.
I’d have a life.

So k*lling those random people
was supposed to even the score.

They k*lled him.

They k*lled me.

You understand?

Sit down.

Took longer than I thought,
but we’re good.

I’m official.

That’s great, john.

6:30?

Closer to 7:00.

See you then.

See you guys later.

Uh, junior’s still
getting parker’s statement.

That guy’s a real talker.

He give you where he dumped
his brother?

A park near saratoga.
I notified state police.

They’re on their way
to the location.

Good.
You heading out?

Anticrime’s gonna get parker
to central booking.

Have a good night.

Good night, lieutenant.

Good night, reverend.

Uh...

We thought inviting you

Might put you in a bad spot
department‐wise.

It would.

So, um...

Have a nice wedding.

Thank you.

I have to change.
See you soon.

Okay.

You coming?

Right behind you.

[ Sighs ]

Don’t leave me hanging.

[ Laughs ]

Come on in.

What’s this?

Transfer request.

Yours?

Yeah.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

This is totally
out of the blue, rita.

I mean, why?

I just want to get back to
brooklyn, closer to home.

All of a sudden, the extra
20‐minute drive got to you?

I guess so.

This have anything
to do with you and clark?

No.

I can talk to him
if it does.

It doesn’t.

I respect you wanting
to keep this private,

But, um, if I don’t know
what’s bothering you

About working here,
I can’t fix it.

There’s nothing to fix.

I’m just ready to transfer
to another squad.

I’ve really enjoyed my time
working for you,

But I need a change.

Will you give me the chance
to talk you out of it?

My mind’s made up, lieu.

I’ll tell you what‐‐
sleep on it at least.

If you still want to transfer
tomorrow, i’ll sign it.

Okay.

Thanks.
I’ll talk to you tomorrow.

Hey.

Hey. Big night.

Yeah. [ Laughs ]

Are you coming?

Uh, i’ve been going back
and forth on it,

And I don’t know if i’d be
completely comfortable, but i‐‐

If you don’t think you’d
be comfortable,

You don’t have to come.

I don’t want to make it
about me.

It’s your night.

Don’t worry about that.

I just wouldn’t want to take
any attention away,

’Cause, um, I know he and I
don’t exactly put off

The most positive vibe when
we’re around each other.

I’m sorry.

I know you’re looking out
for me, and I appreciate it.

It’s been harder
than I thought.

I guess I was really,
you know...

In love with him...

More than I knew
at the time.

Let’s get some coffee.

No, you get out of here,
okay?

Have fun.
Enjoy the night.

And you’re gonna be okay?

Yeah, absolutely.

Call me if you need to talk.

Okay.

Get sipowicz in here.

Why?

’Cause I said so.

He’s gone for the night,
captain.

Get him in here now

Or do you want to get rung up
on insubordination?

I can try paging him.

You do that.

You sure came on the job
at the right time, tony.

Did i?

You know what the word
on you is.

I don’t.

If you weren’t
a puerto rican,

You wouldn’t have been
promoted past patrolman.

You’ve been drinking, captain.
That’s obvious.

So i’m gonna cut you
some slack.

But you sure pulled a number
on me, didn’t you?

Dropped that dime about me
sleeping with a detective,

Or was it sipowicz
who ratted me out?

I’ll get somebody
to take you home.

I don’t have a home now,
tony!

My wife found out about it today
along with everybody else,

And my clothes are apparently
on the front lawn.

Then get a hotel
and sober up.

If you do that, i’ll keep this
conversation between us.

You’re gonna do me favors
now, huh?

Where’s sipowicz?

I want him in here!

Captain fraker, either you leave
or I make a phone call.

Oh, so it was you
who ratted me out, wasn’t it?

Just like you did when I was in
uniform and you were undercover.

I didn’t then.
I didn’t now.

You’re a dirty spic rat,
tony,

And you’re a disgrace
to this job!

Okay, now your options
are either you leave

Or you get your ass kicked.

You ratted me out!

What’s it gonna be?

b*llet missed his heart
and spine,

But he’s got
a punctured lung.

Is he conscious?
No.

But he’s hanging in?

Yeah, and the vitals
are stable for now.

Doc says they keep going
back and forth.

How you holding up?

Okay.

You did real good.
He’s only alive because of you.

There’s a lot of press
out there.

Brass?

[ Sighs ]

I should head out
and deal with it.

When you’re ready.

Yeah.
A little while.

The kids are okay?

Yeah, my friend andrea’s
got them.

Was there anyone else invited?
I could wait for them.

Think I got in touch
with everyone.

If anybody shows up,
though,

Why don’t you let them know
the wedding’s on hold.

Tell them why.
Thanks, john.

So‐‐ stable.

So far.
