ASSISTANT BAKER CAPTAIN COLE CRISTINA CSU_TECH ESPADA GRAHAM HANDLES HARLEE JARED LIBRARIAN LILY LINDA LOMAN MEDICAL_EXAMINER MICHAELA MORGAN MYERS NAVA PLAYERS RAMSEY SHOOTER STAHL TESS TUFO WALLACE WOMAN WOZNIAK HARLEE Previously, on “Shades of Blue.” STAHL You’re not going to shoot me. HARLEE I shot an innocent man. Because I can’t stop seeing Stahl. WOZNIAK Five victims. They’re all dead. COLE Parker? WOZNIAK You knew him? COLE He’s my partner. N.Y.P.D. intelligence unit. HARLEE I think you knew your partner was in danger. Did you know who would want to kill him? COLE Parker was meeting a dock worker named Orlando, only Orlando was too scared to show. HARLEE What was Orlando so afraid of? RAMSEY Hello, Matt. I need a little favor. Happy to repay it. WOZNIAK Ramsey has Quince. HARLEE How did Intel know where to find Quince? WOZNIAK Because they have reach, Harlee. HARLEE And you want to deliver Orlando to them? WOZNIAK No. I want you to. HARLEE They killed one of their own men. I’m not going to deliver a man to his death. WOZNIAK You have to do it. I’m not starting a war with the secret police. I want things back to the way they were. HARLEE And I don’t. I’ll stand alone. Seriously, I like it. It’s nice to see you happy for a change. No! No! No! No. TESS Come on. HARLEE WOZNIAK Harlee. WOZNIAK I know there isn’t anything that I could say that. HARLEE So don’t try. WOZNIAK I’m going to find whoever did this. HARLEE We already know who did this. Me. Okay? I killed him. WOZNIAK Harlee. No. HARLEE Don’t. Just let me feel it. I want to remember exactly how this feels. WOZNIAK Trust me, you don’t forget. TESS Harley, you don’t gotta be strong. Got that part covered. HARLEE I should have been there. WOZNIAK Then it’d be you under the sheet. HARLEE I mean, I could have stopped it. ESPADA Harlee, this wasn’t your fault. WOZNIAK Harlee, you can’t take this on. HARLEE Intelligence already did. WOZNIAK Look at me, look at me. I’m going to handle this. Whatever it takes. I’m going to make this right. HARLEE Nothing will ever make this right. Anything on the first sweep? CSU TECH Nothing that stands out. We’re still processing the vehicle for prints. WOZNIAK Hey, unless you want to be clearing carpet stains for the rest of your career, the results come to me first. You got it? CSU TECH Yeah. WOZNIAK Me. HARLEE What would you do, “Woz?” Would you stand down? They took him from me. WOZNIAK And I can’t let them take you, too. Go home. Cristina’s going to be worried. TESS I can take care of her. HARLEE No, I need to tell her. Then I need to call Gail Baker. TUFO What? Why do you want to involve the F.B.I.? HARLEE Because I saw Stahl. WOZNIAK Harlee. We’re not going to let you stand alone. LOMAN Yeah, I’ll drive you. HARLEE No, I think I want to walk. CRISTINA It’s about time. Shouldn’t it be the teenager stumbling in so late that it’s early? HARLEE Cristina. CRISTINA It’s okay. I’m cool with playing responsible for the day. Maybe tomorrow we can return to regularly scheduled programming? That’s my way of asking if I can go out with Michaela tonight, but at least I’m asking with juice. Mom, what is it? HARLEE Baby, something terrible’s happened. CRISTINA What is it? HARLEE Nava is dead. He’s gone. ESPADA Looks like the party waited for us. WOZNIAK I told them to. This guy’s ours. ESPADA So he travelled all the way from here to Nava’s place, just to mug somebody? That feel right to you? WOZNIAK His fingerprints were at the scene. That’s the only story I need. WOZNIAK n.y.p.d.! show me your hands! ESPADA I get surprised, you get shot. WOZNIAK Cesar, are you here? Clear. ESPADA Clear. WOZNIAK Surprise. ESPADA Somebody get me an ambulance out here. WOZNIAK Forget the pretense. Call the coroner. ESPADA This is Nava’s killer? I don’t get it. WOMAN Hey, Lieutenant Wozniak in here? ESPADA Five years for assault, the first thing this guy does when he gets out is kill the A.D.A. that put him away, then hangs himself? TUFO Bad morning all around. This guy kill Nava? WOZNIAK His prints were all over Nava’s car. Didn’t exactly place himself on the Mount Rushmore of crime. ESPADA Check this out. Looks like defensive wounds. And that bruising right there? Definitely didn’t come from that belt. WOZNIAK Well, maybe struggled when he was hanging there. TUFO Guess suicide wasn’t his forte, either. ESPADA If it was suicide at all. WOZNIAK Yes, Lieutenant, I’m going to round up the neighbors and take some statements because I’m a cop and that’s what I do for a living. That’s how I get paid. Come on. This isn’t going to be a popular call. But we’re not going to ask any questions. ESPADA “Woz,” this isn’t some random case. Someone killed this guy WOZNIAK And for now, they get away with it. As far as anybody on the outside is concerned, “Stretch” was a troubled ex-con who couldn’t deal. TESS That’s not going to be good enough for Harlee. WOZNIAK Harlee’s not going to know. If she thinks there’s a thread that leads to Intelligence, she’s going to go right after Ramsey. ESPADA She won’t be going alone. WOZNIAK She can go with God’s own thunder. It’s not going matter. TUFO The Intelligence Unit is untouchable. I get it. Cloaked in blue, beyond the chain of command. But do we have to help them cover up a murder? WOZNIAK To keep Harlee safe? Yes. ASSISTANT Detective Santos, Director Baker is clearing time for you. If you’ll just have a seat. BAKER Granting oversight is not a license to mismanage, even for HARLEE I saw him. BAKER You know, the F.B.I. doesn’t have an open door policy, right? HARLEE Apparently you don’t have a policy on catching rogue agents, either. BAKER You saw Stahl. HARLEE On the “J” train to Manhattan. He’s in New York. BAKER Look, Harlee if we had anything new on Stahl, anything that put him in the area you would be the first to hear about it. HARLEE I know what I saw. He’s back. MYERS At this point, I doubt he could afford a bus ticket. HARLEE That’s not going to stop him. MYERS There’s been no indication that Robert Stahl has come back to New York. No contact with any known associates, no attempt to see his son. HARLEE He’s not going to telegraph his intentions. MYERS Even an obsessive can move on when his primary fantasy has been broken. I believe his was shattered beyond repair. HARLEE I’m sorry, who are you? MYERS Special agent Katie Meyers, Phoenix office. BAKER Agent Meyers has been tracking Stahl for four months in Arizona. MYERS Stahl’s clever but so are we. Even former F.B.I. agents run out of resources. We burned three different aliases, two in Phoenix, one outside of Yuma. Last contact was on State Route nineteen, just north of the Mexican border. HARLEE And that’s where you think he is? Mexico? BAKER As far as we know. Yes. HARLEE I saw him last night. I’m not crazy. MYERS I know what it’s like to be a victim, detective. How it plays with your mind. It’s not fair for anyone to have that power. Believe me, I want to find Robert Stahl just as much as you do. HARLEE Then you have a lot to prove. TESS Is this guy going to show or what? What do you think? Five more minutes? Yo, Tufo. TUFO What? TESS I know it’s a rough day. I need you to be focused. TUFO Just doesn’t feel like the time to be running protection. Especially with “Woz” back to work. You talk to Harlee? TESS I stopped by her house. She wasn’t home. She knows we have her back. Oh, damn. This just got more fun. TUFO Not for him. TESS N.y.p.d. Hands on your head. JARED Oh no, you guys got me. TESS Shut up. JARED Yo, what the TUFO Ladies. JARED Man, I should get a discount for this kind of abuse. You know? TESS Well, we had an audience. Just sell it. TUFO Uh-uh. Keep it shut. I do not want to know what you’re transporting. JARED All right. You know, I never thought that I’d feel so safe riding with cops. Hey, uh, I got some friends, right? And I know that they would pay top-dollar to ride with New York’s finest. TESS You got some friends? Who? JARED Like this fence, right? And I mean, he moves like, a lot of cash. TUFO Sorry. Referrals not accepted. TESS Right. We only work with scum we know. JARED I’m just trying to contribute to ya’ll’s retirement fund. TUFO Oh, yeah? Because if we hear any talk on the streets about this arrangement, your next ride is free. And one way. LOMAN You think he was strangled? ESPADA Windpipe looked crushed. A belt doesn’t do that. LOMAN And Harlee doesn’t know anything? ESPADA For her own good. Why? LOMAN She sure looks like someone who knows something. I’m just going HARLEE Why wasn’t I told? Espada, why wasn’t I brought into the scene? ESPADA There wasn’t much to be done there. HARLEE Really? ESPADA Look, I swear to God it wasn’t my call. HARLEE Which part? The part where you skipped me on the forensics? Or where you I.D.’d the killer, found the body, processed the scene, and neglected to tell me any of it? ESPADA “Woz” thought the case was too close to home. He’s not wrong. HARLEE You don’t get to make that call. And neither does “Woz.” ESPADA Harlee. Cesar Molina. His prints were all over Nava’s car. Nava put him away five years ago for assault. He was released two weeks ago. HARLEE Revenge killing? ESPADA We think so, yeah. HARLEE Then why off himself right after? ESPADA Maybe he don’t want to go back in? HARLEE Just happened to put his prints all over the car? ESPADA I didn’t say he was smart. HARLEE No sign of foul play? ESPADA No. Nothing. HARLEE This is why you lose at poker. ESPADA Harlee, you want to see him? I’ll take you to the morgue. They’re going to give you the same answers. HARLEE You’re not giving me answers. Loman, let’s go. LOMAN Uh, go where? HARLEE Like you didn’t hear everything? You got more tells than Espada. WOZNIAK You made a mistake last night. RAMSEY If I made it, it wasn’t a mistake. WOZNIAK I would have delivered your witness myself. RAMSEY We were playing so nice. Until your girl drove off with my end of the deal. I only place nice once. WOZNIAK A good man got killed. RAMSEY Then I sincerely hope she learns from the experience. Cause and effect. WOZNIAK I got the guy that did it. He was hanging at his house. Apparent suicide. Unless you look closer. RAMSEY And if you decide not to? WOZNIAK Then I’d expect an guarantee of Harlee’s safety. RAMSEY She could have guaranteed that herself. WOZNIAK One thing I learned overseas, it’s the loose ends that can come back to bite you. You’re moving so fast you can’t catch all of yours. RAMSEY I’d make sure I can control my own crew before I made promises, Lieutenant. WOZNIAK I still want Quince. RAMSEY I’m afraid that deal has expired. WOZNIAK Your witness is dead. It cost you nothing. Quince had me shot. Consider it a gesture of good faith. RAMSEY You want to know what I learned overseas? You make your own advantage. If I have food, I make sure everyone’s starving. I have the high ground, I wait. And if I have one bullet left and the enemy’s closing in WOZNIAK I control my fate. RAMSEY Your dealer stays where he is. But I’m impressed that you found me. MEDICAL EXAMINER Cesar Molina is being prepped for autopsy. I’m afraid we can’t show you the body. HARLEE Well, I need the report as soon as you get it. MEDICAL EXAMINER I’ll have it sent to the precinct. HARLEE Just call me directly. MEDICAL EXAMINER Will do. HARLEE Wait, I need to see another case. LOMAN What does he keep in his safe? HARLEE Case files, as far as I know. He must have been rushed or he would have said more. LOMAN Explains why the phone was smashed. He was probably trying to use it when they attacked. Try again, the text said 1, 2, 4. HARLEE I know the numbers. LOMAN Harlee. HARLEE I’m fine. LOMAN Yeah? HARLEE I’m fine. LOMAN It’s okay, we’ll figure it out. HARLEE The safe was a shot in the dark. Those numbers could mean anything. Could you just give me a minute? I’ll meet you down in the car. LOMAN Sure. NAVA You know, I was thinking. This would be a great day to be a criminal. All the supervision in one place. HARLEE Thinking of running a stop sign? NAVA Or robbing a bank. Moving somewhere sandy, just you, me, the ukulele I’d learn to play. All the time in the world. TESS Your friend didn’t tell me it would be two stops. Alonzo: What do you care? We’re paying you twice your rate. TESS Keep with the attitude, you’ll be walking to your next stop. Alonzo: There goes your five-star rating. Keep it running. TESS Oh, man. SHOOTER Easy, we just want the other bag of cash. TESS I’m not a big sharer. WOZNIAK How long has this been going on? TESS Since the demotion. I needed cash, “Woz.” New York is still New York. WOZNIAK You should have come to me. TESS What, after you got shot? I don’t think you needed another “woe is me speech from me.” WOZNIAK And what the hell were you doing? TUFO I recused myself. WOZNIAK Ah, noble. What were you carrying? TESS I don’t even know. They must have been fencing something high-dollar, because the runner had a lot of cash. WOZNIAK This is why we don’t provide cover or hold product for anyone. TESS It wasn’t drugs. We said no to drugs. WOZNIAK The streets don’t care. You had their cash and you lost it. Now we’re all on the hook for it. TUFO Yeah, but to who? TESS I don't know. WOZNIAK Oh, I bet you they know who you are. TUFO I might have a way to find out. WOZNIAK Then find out. It’s time we got back on offense. HARLEE Hard to believe. I was the first one to even turn this thing on. WOZNIAK There’s a protocol with evidence. I’m guessing you skipped a few steps. HARLEE Yeah, I had to. You gave up looking. WOZNIAK Because we found the guy that did it. HARLEE Oh, that’s right. Convenient suicide. All wrapped up in a bow. Question is, who are you gift-wrapping for? WOZNIAK Harlee. This has got to stop. HARLEE No. Not when every instinct in me says that Ramsey’s behind this. WOZNIAK These instincts haven’t been doing you any favors lately. HARLEE Thanks for the vote of confidence. WOZNIAK Harlee. Sit down, please. I want to protect you. HARLEE You think it was a coincidence? That hours after Intelligence loses Orlando, he winds up collateral damage in an unrelated attack on Nava? WOZNIAK Listen to me. You killed a man thinking that it was Stahl. You’re seeing things that aren’t there, Harlee. Part of you is still trapped in that cabin. It’s clouding your judgement, and I need you to trust mine. COLE It was a mistake. He wasn’t supposed to be part of it. HARLEE How would you know that unless you were there? COLE I wasn’t, I wasn’t. I swear. HARLEE Who killed Nava? COLE I can only tell you who ordered it, and he tends to outsource. HARLEE But you knew. You knew and you didn’t stop it. COLE I found out after. I wasn’t involved. Why would I be here if I was? HARLEE I don't know. Death wish? COLE I’m trying to help you. HARLEE Help me? A huge part of my life died on that sidewalk last night. And you let that happen. My whole crew thinks I’m crazy. I think I was better off before you started helping me. COLE Before this is over, my help might save your life. HARLEE Don’t you dare play savior. If it weren’t for COLE For what? Your own choice to turn that car around? The dumb luck of you showing up at The Sunrise when you did? You’re not crazy. It’s all connected. This is what I know. Ramsey was working with two longshoremen, Orlando and Morris, to smuggle illegal cargo through the docks. You took out Morris at The Sunrise, so Ramsey needed Orlando. HARLEE Why? COLE Because they were trying to give evidence to Internal Affairs. A shipping container that arrived the day of The Sunrise, I think my partner had them hide it at the yard and change the I.D. number. HARLEE But if Orlando had the number, then why did Ramsey have him killed? COLE Because he went bad. Your friend, he got in the way. Tried to protect Orlando. HARLEE What was in the container? COLE I don't know. Ramsey wasn’t sharing. HARLEE Why risk trusting me? COLE Because I couldn’t save my partner. Thought you might be able to help expose what he died for. CAPTAIN You want something from me, you and I need to come to an understanding. WOZNIAK The understanding is simple, Captain. I do my job, you take the credit. CAPTAIN Tempting. But I haven’t risen to this position by fronting vigilantism. WOZNIAK Hard work and competency, no doubt. CAPTAIN Or tripping over the N.Y.P.D.’s most powerful entity. WOZNIAK All our crew wants is our little corner of Brooklyn. CAPTAIN That’d be a start. WOZNIAK Then I need detectives Tufo and Nazario off patrol and back on my team immediately. CAPTAIN After their disciplinary probation, I’ll review their appeal. WOZNIAK Assurances were made. CAPTAIN You’re not hearing me, Lieutenant. Captain McManus no longer leads this precinct. I do. You agree to run anti-crime with a modicum of accountability? I’ll be your biggest champion. But your days of running roughshod through this community are over. WOZNIAK I built this unit from the ground up twenty years ago. You guys come and go so often I confuse you with the furniture. But the unit always stands, and you know why? CAPTAIN Your people skills? WOZNIAK Commitment. Commitment and results. CAPTAIN Results are a team effort. A team assigned by this desk. Anything else, Lieutenant? TUFO You actually look like you know what you’re doing. WALLACE Little brother, all “growed up” in his patrol blues. TUFO There somewhere we can talk? TUFO How’s the job treating you? WALLACE Monotonous as the one I had in prison. But feels like an accomplishment at the end of the day. TUFO Well, accomplishment’s a good feeling. WALLACE Yeah. So is the end of the day. TUFO Yo, I need a favor. WALLACE Arrest a hooker. TUFO I’m above that, currently. I was hoping you could reach out to your old connects. We need to find a fence operating off Fulton. WALLACE They’re a “dime a dozen.” TUFO Well, this one’s going to be aggravated. He lost a lot of cash today. WALLACE Must be important, you want me to take a step toward that life. TUFO Only because I trust you to come back. MICHAELA It’s amazing you’re at school. I’d be like, fetal under my couch. CRISTINA I don’t really want to talk about it. LILY Oh, my God. MICHAELA First, the thing with your dad, and then your mom in the hospital. CRISTINA Low key, please. MICHAELA And now the best thing to come along in forever, a really great guy. It’s okay not to be okay. CRISTINA I’m sorry, is something funny? LILY Oh, no. I love telenovelas. CRISTINA One more time? LILY Nothing. Just, the daddy issues, the hospital, the “single momma drama.” MICHAELA You’re such a bitch, Lily. CRISTINA No, no. Let her continue, since my life is clearly so interesting to her. LILY Not really, your mom’s though, damn. All these men that keep dying around her? Scandalous. CRISTINA You want scandalous? MICHAELA Cristina, no! LIBRARIAN Break it up! WOZNIAK You sure this is our guy? WALLACE His name is “Handles” and he’s been turning the streets upside down for a payment lost in transit. TESS It was stolen. I’ve got the facial trauma to prove it. TUFO You wear it well, like an accessory. TESS Shut your mouth, or we’ll see who wore it best. WALLACE Well, I’m not sure I’m doing you a favor by making the intro. This guy’s no joke. TUFO This is the part where you turn back into a civilian. WOZNIAK Yeah? ESPADA “Woz,” we’ve got a problem. WOZNIAK We’re on quite a streak. On a scale from one to ten? ESPADA Harlee had Loman request a warrant to access the Red Hook dock yard WOZNIAK That’s a number from one to ten? How’d you find out? ESPADA I saw a copy on Loman’s desk. It’s got to be connected. The longshoreman who got killed with Nava worked at Red Hook. WOZNIAK What’s the target? ESPADA It’s a shipping container. The I.D. code is one, two, four, five WOZNIAK All right, all right, just text it to me. TESS Trouble at the farm? WOZNIAK Nothing that Espada can’t get me to fix. Which one of you guys is Handles? WOZNIAK The guy you’re looking for, only you don’t know it yet. HANDLES You got my money? TESS I was ambushed, but this slid under the seat. It’s all yours. HANDLES What about Hector? WOZNIAK Corner doesn’t think he’s going to make it. HANDLES I’m going to need a full refund or we start talking about your car service to anyone who wants to listen. Two hundred thousand. WOZNIAK Well, that’s two hundred thousand too much. HANDLES Plus ten percent. For Hector. TESS “Woz.” WOZNIAK Don’t put my crew in danger and then try to negotiate. It makes me hostile. HANDLES If I had known this was going to get violent, I would have brought my nine year old. That’s you, right? That’s you, right? The cop who got shot by a third grader? Word is, Quince is still you there, laughing his ass off. WOZNIAK It’s the last laugh that counts. You’ll know it when you hear it. HANDLES Hard to laugh with a bad back. HARLEE Have you met Cristina? Dean’s list every year. Straight A’s. No truancy, no probation. MORGAN Her record is outstanding. That’s not the issue. HARLEE Then why are we even talking about suspension? MORGAN I’m aware how difficult this year must have been for you. With the stress of your job, with everything that’s going on. A little time off might be the best thing we can do for her. HARLEE Maybe I should argue with my checkbook. MORGAN That isn’t what I’m saying. HARLEE No one understands more than me that violence is never the answer. But neither is taking away the opportunities from a girl who already has to work twice as hard for them. She stood up to someone today who tried to make her feel small. You want to blame somebody for that? Blame me. I’ve been teaching her how to do that ever since she could walk. HARLEE Should have never let you come to school today. CRISTINA Look, I’m sorry you had to come. HARLEE Me, too. CRISTINA Mom, it was Lily Mather. She said that you HARLEE I don’t care what she said. You go to the best school in Brooklyn, you know that? You can open any door, but if you can’t restrain yourself long enough to walk away from some entitled bitch, then you throw that future away. CRISTINA How can you even think about my future after everything that’s happened this morning? HARLEE How can I think of anything else? CRISTINA Mom, he’s gone. HARLEE I can’t. CRISTINA Okay, well how about you buy me lunch? Burned hella calories kicking that girl’s ass. GRAHAM I see my warnings about taking it easy have gone unnoticed. WOZNIAK No, my wife knows them verbatim. GRAHAM Maybe she’ll have better luck. WOZNIAK I don’t get paid to do yoga. GRAHAM Last I checked, the abdominal muscles are relatively useful and worth the rest. And that’s if you just pull them. WOZNIAK Do you have a diploma on the wall that says I should listen to all this? GRAHAM All right, on your back. WOZNIAK Just give me a minute. GRAHAM I think we have a chain of command issue, here. WOZNIAK I just need some time. GRAHAM Oh, don’t worry about it. It happens. WOZNIAK You got Helen of Troy over there doing her flexibility exercises. It kind of makes it GRAHAM Um, why don’t you take a few minutes and I’ll come back. LINDA Hey. WOZNIAK Hey. LINDA How’d it go? WOZNIAK It’s good. LINDA Huh? WOZNIAK Yeah. LINDA Did he tell you to listen to your wife? Huh? WOZNIAK Let’s get out of here. LINDA I guess he took my side, huh? LINDA There’s a definite caveman vibe going on here. WOZNIAK Just go with it. LINDA Uh-huh. I guess there are exceptions to taking it easy. WOZNIAK Yeah? LINDA Uh-huh. LINDA I hope that didn’t set back your recovery schedule. WOZNIAK If it did, it was worth it. LINDA You know if there is a silver lining to to what happened. It’s that I kept you home. WOZNIAK Yeah, you should have shot me years ago. LINDA It’ll get easier. WOZNIAK More months of foam rollers and pain killers. LINDA You’re not taking the pain killers, Matt. I see you. I see the war going on in your head. I know that bullet broke things that that can’t be fixed with foam rollers. WOZNIAK Maybe I broke myself. LINDA You have always been able to put it back together again. WOZNIAK I don't know. I’ve been gone a long time. The crew had to go and find their own things. LINDA There’s no crew without you. They may not appreciate, but they need their leader. WOZNIAK What if he died on the precinct floor that day? LINDA You do what it takes to revive him. LOMAN You still got that number? HARLEE Memorized. “Head on a swivel,” Loman. LOMAN They don’t know we’re here. That warrant is classified. HARLEE It’s Intelligence we’re talking about. Nothing’s classified. LOMAN Maybe we should radio it in. HARLEE No, I don’t want to call any unwanted attention. LOMAN You trust this guy? Cole? HARLEE I didn’t say that. LOMAN You’re acting on his intel. HARLEE Intel he didn’t know he was spilling. He doesn’t know about Nava’s last text. LOMAN You sure about that? Look, I looked this guy up. A lot of “black op” stuff. Files I couldn’t access. Doesn’t seem the kind of guy to ask for help. HARLEE Here it is. Nava sent those numbers for a reason, and I don’t need to trust this guy to use what he knows. All right, pull, Loman. Let’s see what’s worth killing for. LOMAN Not exactly the lead I was hoping for. Come on, Harlee, let’s go. There’s nothing here. HARLEE God, when does it stop? I can’t. I can’t do this anymore. I can’t do it anymore. I can’t LOMAN No, don't say that. HARLEE I can’t save me. There’s no forgiveness. There’s no going back. LOMAN Harlee, don't say that. HARLEE Leave me alone! Everything! Everything! LOMAN Stop. Stop. HARLEE Everything that I touch. Everything. Everything. LOMAN Stop. Stop. Stop. HARLEE HARLEE How did you get my cell? COLE The container was empty, wasn’t it? HARLEE What, are you following me? COLE No, I was following the person who got there first. HARLEE Ramsey didn’t have the number. COLE He got it. Wozniak made a deal. HARLEE No, “Woz” wouldn’t do that. COLE You sure? There’s no limit to what my boss will do to get what he wants. HARLEE Okay. And what did he get for his services? COLE Closure. Say hello, Quince. HARLEE Why bring him to me? COLE I convinced Ramsey that it would divide your crew. But between you and me, I thought you should know. The game is rigged, Harlee. Two solo acts are not going to cut it. HARLEE I’d have to trust you. COLE We’re halfway there. Now I know I can trust you. We’re in the same position. The sooner you realize that, the better. HARLEE You don’t know anything about my position. Or me. COLE I know one thing. We’re both tied to men who make us do things like this. HARLEE What the hell are you doing? COLE What I’m told. I’m sure you know how that feels. And why doing the right thing is a luxury better left for other people. Second leg of the delivery’s yours. WOZNIAK Son of a bitch! HARLEE Not the terms you agreed on? WOZNIAK I didn’t know I had to specify “breathing.” HARLEE Yeah, I’m running low on sympathy. WOZNIAK Hey, how about some sympathy for the nine-year-old kid who’s life is ruined because of this guy? I went to see Ramsey to make sure that you were safe. He had requests, I had requests. HARLEE That’s right. Keep defending yourself. Double down on the betrayal. WOZNIAK You really want to go down that road, Harlee? HARLEE I needed you today. Everything that I know is broken. I’m broken. And you made me think that I was crazy. WOZNIAK At least you get to go home tonight. Whether you want to admit it or not, trauma has its fallout. And until you’re right again, I had to get the target off of your back. HARLEE Oh, so this had nothing to do with your and your vengeance quest. WOZNIAK This is about you getting to see Cristina grow up. Ramsey’s more dangerous than you realize. HARLEE Than I realize? Nava’s dead. And his killer probably wears a badge. WOZNIAK Until I take it from him. HARLEE You know what the real tragedy is here? That the next time you’re actually trying to protect me, I’m going to wonder if I’m being played. WOZNIAK It won’t stop me from doing it again. So take your grief and your guilt and take it all out on me. At least it keeps you alive. HARLEE Give me your keys. I’m taking your car. I’m glad you got your revenge, “Woz.” I hope that it cures everything that you need it to. CRISTINA I have a speech prepared, you want to hear it? HARLEE I think it’s more of a “Cliff Notes” night, baby. CRISTINA At its core, it’s an apology, but I still effectively maintain that family’s worth defending. HARLEE I agree. But what some girl says at school is not something you have to defend me against. I’ve gotten through worse. CRISTINA Do you think you’re going to get through this? HARLEE I got a pretty damn good reason to make sure that I do. Look, I know this hasn’t been easy. You’ve had to deal with things most people would never even understand. Must feel CRISTINA Frustrated. A little. It’s mostly just because I can tell that there’s something going on beneath the surface. You don’t always have to be strong for me. It can work both ways. We’re a team. HARLEE Pretty damn good one. Always will be. CRISTINA I can handle the truth. Not a kid anymore. HARLEE Truth about what? CRISTINA Why Nava was killed. Do you know? HARLEE It was a revenge killing. Ex-con who just got released. Nava was the prosecutor who secured his conviction five years ago. CRISTINA So sorry, Mom. Did they get the guy? HARLEE “Woz” got him. PLAYERS Right here, right here. Aw, man. Look like my grandmother, man. Yeah, get his shot. I don’t lie. HANDLES Yo, hold ball. Right on time. Beautiful night for a refund. You got my two hundred “k” right? WOZNIAK I always deliver. Come on let’s take a walk. HANDLES Facing reality. Good on you. WOZNIAK I knew this kid, from the projects of New Lots. Grew up with absolutely nothing. He didn’t have a pot to piss in. But eventually he crawled himself out of that property. He did whatever he had to do. Built himself a kingdom. And then once he got on top, he got cocky. He got lazy. Foolish. He made a bad choice. HANDLES Hold up, is that Quince? WOZNIAK Yeah, he went up against the wrong adversary. I think our debt is paid. Unless you have any objections. HANDLES Nah, we’re cool. Forget the cash. TESS Want a turn? WOZNIAK Eh, twice dead is good enough for me. TESS Thanks for the assist today. Just bought me some sleep. WOZNIAK TESS What? WOZNIAK It’s good to be back.
