ADRIAN AGENT_MYERS AGENT_RICE BABY BENNETT CRISTINA DEALER DELIVERY_BOY DOCTOR DOCTOR_CURTIS ESPADA ESTHETICIAN FIT_GUY FLORIST GINA HANDSOME_BARTENDER HARLEE KAREN LANDON LOMAN MOLINA MURPHYS_BARTENDER NATE NAVA OSCAR PARAMEDIC_1 PARAMEDIC_2 PHELPS PRIEST SKINHEAD STAHL TESS TUFO WALLACE WOZNIAK WOZNIAKS_SON HARLEE Previously on “Shades of Blue”. WOZNIAK Part of you is still trapped in that cabin. You’re seeing things that aren’t there. STAHL You’re not gonna shoot me. HARLEE I shot an innocent man because I can’t stop seeing Stahl. ADRIAN Quince took my mom! WOZNIAK LANDON Those are the two murders your dad covered up. You really don’t know your dad, do you? WOZNIAKS SON I saw the photo of you and Donnie on the boat. Are you gay? WOZNIAK She’s an escort. STAHL What’s your name? GINA Harlee. Agent Stahl had very clear instructions. You were his fantasy. Do you really want to hear all this? HARLEE Until he’s caught. I saw him again. NAVA Stahl? HARLEE I swear that he was real. NAVA You can’t act as if it never happened. HARLEE No! No, no! WOZNIAK The guy who did it, Cesar Molina, is an apparent suicide, unless you look closer. Ramsey: And if you decide not to? WOZNIAK I still want Quince. HARLEE Not the terms you agreed on? Nava’s dead! And his killer probably wears a badge! WOZNIAK The Intelligence Unit is more dangerous than you realize. HARLEE I’m glad you got your revenge, Woz. I hope that it cures everything that you need it to. DOCTOR CURTIS T-twelve. Send that vertebrae some good thoughts. It's your new best friend. WOZNIAK Isn’t T-eleven gonna get jealous? DOCTOR CURTIS The bullet is lodged here, right up against the bone. You need me to remind you what happens if it moves? WOZNIAK I feel a tickle? DOCTOR CURTIS Try not feeling anything. From the waist down anyway. Judging on the position of the bullet, I'd say the epidural veins are at risk. Stop me if you’ve heard this. WOZNIAK I’ve heard this. DOCTOR CURTIS You need to consider the surgery. It's a high risk procedure, but it’s not as high risk as walking around with a sharp piece of metal playing footsies with your spinal cord. WOZNIAK It’s not my first foray into high risk behavior, Doc. DOCTOR CURTIS Four months ago I gave you a prescription - two weeks worth of painkillers. You haven't refilled it. WOZNIAK I don’t like to wait in line. DOCTOR CURTIS Nice. You looking to suffer? All those nerve clusters in the vicinity, honestly, I don't know how you're walking right now. WOZNIAK Like this. NATE It’s a good thing you can pull off a suit because we might be making a late entrance. WOZNIAK I don't think Nava’s gonna mind. NATE I'm doing a piece on his murder but things aren't quite adding up with Cesar Molina. The dead suspect? WOZNIAK Strange. You were always good at math. NATE Cesar's father doesn't think he killed Nava, dad. Or that dock worker doesn't believe he was even anywhere near that neighborhood when it happened. WOZNIAK He’s playing you. He's reaching out to you so you'll reach out to me. He wants the investigation re-opened. NATE I reached out to him. WOZNIAK Fathers will do or say anything to protect their boys, even in death. HARLEE Life is a precious gift. Delicate and fleeting. When it's gone, we wish for just one more moment of it. Like waking up from a beautiful dream. When that dream is taken from us, we ache for one more chance to say the things we wanted to say, to the person who deserved to hear it most. James Nava awakened something in me that I had forgotten how to feel. It's a rare thing, to have someone who, someone who, James made me a better person. He made me laugh. He made me want to build the world as he saw it. Through his job, James saw humanity at its absolute worst and still believed in our infinite goodness. James couldn't help it. He didn't try to be noble. He just was. I will miss him every day. PRIEST Scripture tells us: "Come, you who are blessed by my Father, says the Lord, Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food." WOZNIAK Listen to me, I need you to stand tall right now. Can you do that? Good man. I'm on my way. TESS Hey, new friends, Woz? I thought everyone you cared about was inside. WOZNIAK Well, some people appreciate my help more than others. TESS Oh, man, she'll come around. She’s just busy being strong as hell right now. WOZNIAK Do you still take orders from me? TESS Until I'm in one of those boxes. WOZNIAK Keep an eye on her. TESS All right. WOZNIAK Let’s look on the bright side. You got me out of a funeral. You know I have your back. ADRIAN That's not why I called. WOZNIAK You want me to smuggle you out in my trunk? ADRIAN It's my mom. I think something is wrong. WOZNIAK Hasn't she been by to see you? ADRIAN She visits on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. But she missed Saturday, and when I called her back, she sounded like she wanted to get off the phone. WOZNIAK Okay, I'm gonna stop by to check on her. But don't worry, Quince is not a problem for either you or your mom, ever again. ADRIAN They left me alone because they thought I worked for him. But, now that he's gone. WOZNIAK Look, you took down one bad-ass cop. You keep your chin up, your shoulders back. Now, I’m gonna come and visit you in a couple days, okay? You even look in the kid's direction again, the next time this pasty head is shaved, I'm gonna be holding the razor. And I'm very twitchy. SKINHEAD It wasn't me. I didn't touch him. WOZNIAK You make sure nobody does. TESS She did good in there. I couldn’t imagine. LOMAN I'll go pull the car around. TESS Thanks. LOMAN Your dad sure knows how to make an exit. NATE Lots of practice. LOMAN Easy, easy. Criminals don't work around holidays and funerals. NATE Yeah. Terrible thing to happen. LOMAN Mm-hm. Hey, you need a ride to the cemetery? NATE You know the guy that killed him? Cesar Molina? His dad talked about how Cesar found God in prison. Did you guys run a profile on him? LOMAN You know, Nate, I'm not sure this is the right time. NATE Yeah, but do I have the right cop? LOMAN To comment on an ex-con's father peddling a story? NATE If there is a story, shouldn't someone be willing to listen? CRISTINA I cannot wait to see my own bed. HARLEE Maybe you should stay home tomorrow, take another day. CRISTINA So I don't beat up another cashmere troll? I will if you will. HARLEE It's a deal. CRISTINA So, did you see Uncle Woz leave the funeral early? HARLEE Yeah, he probably got called away on a case. CRISTINA You guys aren't fighting? You barely looked at him. It doesn't take a genius. HARLEE Honey, I’m gonna need you to go inside, okay? CRISTINA What? Why? Who is that? HARLEE Work stuff. I'll be right in. You should have called. GINA I'm sorry. I didn't know where to go. I need some cash. I need to leave town tonight. HARLEE Okay, slow down. Tell me what happened. GINA I was walking home and right before I went inside, I saw him. HARLEE Saw who? GINA Stahl. I saw Stahl too. WOZNIAK Karen! Don't make me go get the ram from my car. Come on, open up. KAREN Look, I appreciate you visiting my son, but out here.police visits that don't end in handcuffs, end in body bags. WOZNIAK You missed your Saturday. Adrian is worried about you. KAREN I had a double-shift packing produce. WOZNIAK Your son shot me in the gut but I could still hear. I heard you cock the gun that you're holding. KAREN Look, I’m just trying to make it to next Saturday so I can see my baby. That’s it. WOZNIAK Hazard of the drug trade? KAREN No. I made a promise. To Adrian and to myself. WOZNIAK I see broken promises all day long. KAREN Do you really think I'm gonna go back to that life after what they did to my boy? WOZNIAK Then put the gun away and open the door. WOZNIAK You always this hospitable? KAREN It’s precautions. My roommate is missing. BABY WOZNIAK And she left you to babysit? KAREN It was supposed to be an overnight supply run. Shauna's been gone three days now. WOZNIAK Your son is alone and scared and seen more than any nine-year-old should ever see. KAREN You don't think I know that? WOZNIAK He shouldn't have to worry if his mom's going to show because she's out slinging dope. KAREN Yo, I told you. I don’t run for them no more. WOZNIAK Well, then why the precautions? KAREN Because they wanted me for the transport job but I passed. Shauna jumped on the fast cash so I made an introduction. WOZNIAK Who are we talking about here? KAREN Eddy Dixon. WOZNIAK Quince's old crew. KAREN Yeah, and if she misses delivery, I’m on the hook. AGENT RICE Agent Stahl didn’t say anything to you? GINA He might have called out my name. AGENT RICE You wouldn't recognize his voice? GINA By then I was already running. AGENT MYERS You've been meeting with her once a week? HARLEE Hypomnesia. Repeated interviews increase detail recollection. AGENT MYERS And you pay her for these sessions? HARLEE Doesn't make her information any less valuable. AGENT MYERS It might. Either consciously or subconsciously, she wants to please you. HARLEE Lying to the F.B.I. is a felony. I doubt she wants to please me that much. AGENT MYERS Did you share with her your belief that Agent Stahl is back in the city? HARLEE You now have independent corroboration. AGENT MYERS Fear can have a powerful influence on how we see things. HARLEE And eye-witnesses should have a powerful influence on the zip codes of your investigation. AGENT MYERS I understand you've been under a lot of stress, letting this woman stay in your home last night. HARLEE I have to keep her here. Stahl is in New York. Right now! AGENT MYERS I promise you we're taking this investigation seriously. HARLEE Yeah, so where’s the M.T.A. footage of the night I saw Stahl on the subway? AGENT MYERS I told you, the I.T. department is retrieving the data. The video files were corrupted. HARLEE I've been a detective for over a decade. I know when I’m being hustled. AGENT MYERS You're being hustled, ust not by the bureau. WALLACE Thanks for the ride. And the coffee. TESS If your job's half as boring as mine, you're gonna need it. TUFO Gotta say, I'm not loving these seat assignments. WALLACE Sorry little brother, I swore I'd never end up back there again. TUFO Rather I make you walk home after falling asleep on my couch? TESS Wallace, don't apologize. I like him where he is. He can’t monopolize the radio. WALLACE Anything to be of service to the six-four. TUFO Hey, don't forget to get to that parole officer meeting ten minutes in advance. Tess, roll my window down. They notice stuff like that. WALLACE Officer, could you please ask your suspect if I can go to my actual job now? TESS Don’t worry, I got him. Get outta here. TUFO You didn’t think I saw that? TESS What? TUFO Off limits, Tess. All right, now let me out. Yo, unlock the doors. No, no. Unlock the door, Tess. TESS Did you say something? Huh? WOZNIAK So, we have zero connects to Quince's old crew? ESPADA Four months is an eternity on the streets. WOZNIAK While I'm fighting for my life, you let Brooklyn turn into Lord of the Flies. ESPADA I had to give you a reason to come back. Or not. I'll pull the phone records on this missing woman. WOZNIAK Loman, call around hospitals, see if they admitted a Shauna Davis or any Jane Does, black mid-twenties. LOMAN Shauna Davis. Got it. Listen, you got a sec? WOZNIAK When you find my missing person. LOMAN After the funeral, Nate started asking questions about Nava's murder. WOZNIAK Yeah, Nate’s a reporter. LOMAN And unfortunately, a pretty good one. He's kicking the tires on the dead suspect, Cesar Molina. WOZNIAK Nate's sole source is one of a thousand fathers who think that their ex- con son is innocent. LOMAN Well, this one is, Woz. It’s not only that Nava who was killed, if he starts looking into Orlando, that thread could unravel Harlee's bad shoot at the Sunrise. WOZNIAK And then lead to you. LOMAN Do you want the Intelligence Unit thinking you fed information to your son? WOZNIAK So, did you lie to him. LOMAN Well, yeah. WOZNIAK Assured him there's no story. LOMAN Assured's a strong word. WOZNIAK On a scale of one to ten. LOMAN On what? WOZNIAK Nate's questioned multiple police officers. What are the chances that he leaves this alone? LOMAN A six? WOZNIAK Make it a four. So, you know what to do. LOMAN Go to the source? WOZNIAK Well, we're not going to break my son's knee caps. CRISTINA Maybe I should trade in my cello for a nine millimeter. HARLEE Slow down, Double Oh-Seven. We're just taking precautions. You remember how to load it? CRISTINA You act like it’s my first time. So, um, how long is Gina staying? HARLEE One more night. She's in some trouble. CRISTINA So, Gina’s in trouble and we're at a gun range. No connection there, I'm sure. HARLEE The man who killed your father and then told you he was a private investigator is back in town. CRISTINA I thought you said he would be stupid to come back to New York. HARLEE Look, I can't guess what he's thinking. But, if you see him, you don't hesitate. Just shoot. Feels heavier now, doesn't it? CRISTINA Yeah, a bit. But it's nice to know what's going on. HARLEE One more time. Remember, let each shot surprise you between breaths. CRISTINA Empty the clip? HARLEE Until he goes down. STAHL Soon, I’m gonna heal you. WALLACE So, what's so special about this drug mule? WOZNIAK She's been missing for seventy-two hours. ESPADA Tufo said you ran with Quince's crew in prison. You keep up with Eddy Dixon? WALLACE Associating with known felons would be a violation of my parole, officer. WOZNIAK That’s only if it makes the paperwork. ESPADA Dixon has been in and out for the last decade. We know you did time together. WALLACE He recruited me on the inside. Got out last month. Real hustler. Always wanted to be number one. ESPADA You know where he conducts business? WALLACE I can find out. Dixon always said, "holla if I need anything." OSCAR Wallace, these grinders don't work themselves. This ain't China. WOZNIAK Wallace is still on break. WALLACE I can find that location. WOZNIAK Look, if you get a bad vibe, you clam up and walk away. Your gut is your best early warning system. WALLACE Right about now it's saying don't tell my brother. WOZNIAK Well, arrangements like this are strictly confidential. WALLACE I'll hit you up when I know something. ESPADA This is a bad idea. Tufo's playing helicopter mom to keep Wallace away from that life. WOZNIAK Wallace wants to help find this missing young mother, who am I to deny purpose? ESPADA His brother's boss. WOZNIAK Come on. GINA I've dealt with a lot of messed up Johns, some weird stuff, but I've never met anyone with such. HARLEE Darkness. GINA Scariest part was how he could hide it with that boy scout look. HARLEE Not anymore. DELIVERY BOY Harlee Santos? TUFO Look who's big time now, calling for a patrol car. TESS Don't get used to it. We work for the taxpayers. LOMAN Yeah? Good thing I pay my taxes. TUFO Need some privacy to question a witness. LOMAN Tomas Molina? MOLINA Who's asking? LOMAN Did you contact Nate Wozniak, a reporter for the New York Ledger? MOLINA Hey! Register's open. Just take whatever you want. LOMAN We don't want your money. MOLINA Or my wine, apparently. LOMAN Grand theft auto, grand larceny, armed robbery, you, my friend, need a better getaway driver. Your son, too. MOLINA I paid my debt. And my son paid with his life. LOMAN He had just been released from prison, right? Mister Molina? MOLINA I, I couldn’t recognize him, in a good way. He changed when he was inside. Found a higher power that he could respect. This is his. This was his. He was already leading a Bible study for parolees. My boy didn't kill those men. And he sure as hell didn't kill himself. LOMAN I get it. You want to protect your son's memory. Any father in your position would want to do the same. But with a rap sheet like yours, assault on a police officer could land you back in prison. MOLINA With the week that I've just had, it's still tempting. LOMAN Don't contact Nate Wozniak. If he calls you, don't answer. If he won't let it go, change your story. TUFO Damn, man. You really channeled Michael Corleone in there. I didn't know you had it in you. LOMAN Yes, you did. You all made sure of it. TESS Oh, Loman, I know it sucks. But you protected all of us, especially Harlee. You should be proud of yourself. LOMAN I just bullied a grieving father, Tess. I’m not proud of anything. ESPADA Nothing intercepted from D.E.A. or Homeland, no arrests under the name Shauna Davis. You think she took the money and ran? WOZNIAK What, with a baby waiting at home? FLORIST It's possible. I really don't remember. HARLEE But this could be him? FLORIST You know how many customers I see a week? HARLEE That pay in cash and didn’t give a name? FLORIST More common than you think. HARLEE Excuse me. WOZNIAK You’re working a case? HARLEE No, following a lead. WOZNIAK Is that how you take a personal day? HARLEE Somebody sent me flowers. No card, paid cash. A flower stand in Bed- Stuy with no video security. WOZNIAK Oh. Why didn't you say so? I'll hold down the florist, you grab the phonebook. HARLEE I'll settle for no interruptions. WOZNIAK You're worried it's Stahl. HARLEE Don't say that like I'm crazy. WOZNIAK I think a little crazy is normal. HARLEE This is how Stahl operates. All right? He feeds off your fears and then he holds on like a vulture. WOZNIAK I sent the flowers. I didn’t know what to say on the card. HARLEE Your name might have helped. WOZNIAK Is it possible that maybe you're using Stahl as a distraction? HARLEE A distraction from the fact that I stood by while the Intelligence Unit killed the only decent man that I ever loved? Or that you helped cover the tracks? WOZNIAK You see? Hard to put on a card. HARLEE We cleared it up. You're free to go. WOZNIAK You're not crazy. Just overwhelmed. HARLEE And on my way to Jersey to comb through a hooker's apartment searching for a psychopath. WOZNIAK Harlee, listen, you know deep down, what I did for you, you'd do the same thing for Cristina. The same way that you know to be free of Stahl, you have to stop chasing his ghost. It's up to you how much more you want to sacrifice. HARLEE What kind of flowers? WOZNIAK What? HARLEE What kind of flowers did you send? WOZNIAK I let them choose. ESPADA At what point do we call backup? WOZNIAK What, did you leave your balls at the precinct? We're picking up a girl. WALLACE Damn, y'all got here quick. WOZNIAK You said you had timely information. WALLACE Right. You see that beauty salon across the street? That's where Dixon takes his drug mules. Supply chain got cut off or something so he started improvising. ESPADA Take a look around? WALLACE It's shut down today for a reason. I overheard Dixon on a call. Something went wrong. WOZNIAK Shauna? WALLACE Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he sounded pissed when he mentioned this place. WOZNIAK Wallace, are you high? ESPADA Come on, man. What the hell is wrong with you? You're out here partying, while some girl's life is in danger? WALLACE With Dixon. I had to gain his trust. You think he was gonna slip up about his drug operation sober? WOZNIAK What went wrong with the girl? WALLACE He didn't say. You asked for a location. There it is. WOZNIAK Police! Open up. Esthetician: We're closed for the day. WOZNIAK Open the gate. We’re not here for a facial. ESPADA Who else is in there with you? ESTHETICIAN No one, I promise. ESPADA Step aside. It’s all clear here, boss. DEALER Ah! WOZNIAK Where's the girl? ESTHETICIAN Room four. WOZNIAK Police! DOCTOR If I let go, she'll bleed out. WOZNIAK She swallowed all these? DOCTOR She was impacted. I told them I couldn't safely extract the drugs but one of the bags ruptured, she was ODing. CRISTINA Mom? GINA It's just me. Your mom's not home yet. CRISTINA Are those my clothes? GINA Yeah, I saw you had some laundry in the dryer. Figured I'd help out whereever I can. CRISTINA While you're at it, do you want clean my room? GINA Careful. I didn't clean my room as a teenager and look where it got me. CRISTINA Yeah. Where was that? GINA Hotel hospitality. CRISTINA How do you know my mom again? GINA We, uh, share a common admirer. CRISTINA Yeah, he's so unpredictable. It's a good thing you're here. PARAMEDIC 1 Well, that butcher did something right, he gave her Narcan to counter the effect of the ruptured bag of heroin in her stomach. WOZNIAK Well, you’d expect a drug smuggler's doctor to have plenty on hand. PARAMEDIC 2 Blood pressure’s dropped, she’s going into shock. We gotta roll. ESPADA Street value of a quarter million. There’s no way Quince's old muscle is bankrolling a smuggling operation like this on their own. WOZNIAK One of us has to give Wallace a ride home. ESPADA I'll drive him. You can tell Tufo. WOZNIAK There's nothing to tell. We found a mystery supplier. Wallace saved a girl's life. Two more hours and she wouldn't have made it. ESPADA Great, then you go tell Tufo his brother's a hero. WOZNIAK Hey, Wallace. Your car service is here. WALLACE Damn, I forgot my P.O. meeting today. WOZNIAK I'll handle it. You go home and make sure your brother doesn’t see you until you come down. ESPADA Come on, let's go, Rick James. WOZNIAK Hey Wallace, you did a good job. HARLEE Is it here? LOMAN The bureau sent a secure link. You need to log into the F.B.I. mainframe for the M.T.A security footage. HARLEE Can you take this to the lab for me? Tell them to cross check for Robert Stahl. He's in the system. LOMAN You got a fingerprint? HARLEE Yeah, off a reformed prostitute's intercom button. We'll see. LOMAN Agent Myers assistant also told me to tell you she's sorry. Any reason why the F.BI.’s apologizing to us? Okay. HARLEE It's not him. CRISTINA You were kidnapped? Kidnapped? Held hostage in the woods. That’s an important detail, don't you think? HARLEE I told you we set up a sting, do you remember that? CRISTINA You didn't tell me that he drugged you and tied you up! HARLEE I said he got the upper hand. CRISTINA You know, I thought that we were making progress, that you were being honest with me. But you started lying to me while you were still in the hospital. HARLEE I didn't lie. Okay? I just, I didn't share details that you didn't need to know. CRISTINA Let me guess. You were protecting me, right? HARLEE As a matter of fact, yes. CRISTINA That's your answer for everything, mom. HARLEE And my job. CRISTINA No! Your job is to be honest with me. HARLEE I’m not your girlfriend, Cristina. Okay? You're my daughter. And one day when you're lucky enough to have a child, you'll realize that part of being a mother is not burdening them with your problems. CRISTINA Our problems. They’re our problems, mom. But instead of being straight with me, so I can support you, I had to find out from a stranger. HARLEE What do you want to hear, Cristina? Do you want to hear how this psycho is obsessed with me? How he stalked me, how he stalked my teenage daughter? He invaded my life, tied and gagged me, dressed me up? Do you want to hear how he was going to rape and kill me out in those woods if I hadn’t slit my own wrist? Is that what you want to hear? Help me! Help me! Somebody! WOZNIAK Nate. What are you doing? NATE Changing a tire. WOZNIAK Take it down. NATE It was mom's orders. WOZNIAK She would have asked me. NATE She did. Two weeks ago. She’s decided she was ready to move on from that eyesore, dad. WOZNIAK It's a reminder. NATE Of what? The mess that seems to follow you around? WOZNIAK Of why I do what I do. NATE Forgive me if it gets old standing in the path of the hurricane, dad. WOZNIAK The dead suspect's father retracted his statement. NATE And my follow up calls are going straight to voicemail. Funny how you’re not surprised about that, though. WOZNIAK Not everyone enjoys talking to a reporter, Nate. Even the good ones. NATE I know you did this. God forbid the N.Y.P.D. should want to take a second look at something. WOZNIAK Second looks are for people who don't do it right the first time. NATE Yes, you guys think you're doing everything right? You won't even admit who you really are. WOZNIAK Put my tools back where you found them. NATE There was a story here, dad. I wish you would help me tell it. WOZNIAK There will be another story tomorrow. NATE At least you got your whole crew toeing the line this time, huh? Do you corrupt everyone who comes close to you? WOZNIAK Do you know why I keep these bullet holes untouched? Because it reminds me of how close I came to losing you. I look at it every day. And I make the same promise that I made when I first held you in my arms - to keep you safe. I've failed at a few promises. But that one I intend to keep. ESPADA From the highest shelf there is, Chicken Little. Take a breath, man. TUFO Top shelf is a waste of money. I'm angry drinking. LOMAN Ooo, what's her name? TUFO Wallace. My brother missed his parole hearing today. ESPADA Rescheduled. TUFO Mm-mm. Same difference. To a P.O., it's strike one. LOMAN You think he's been dipping a toe in his past life? TUFO I don't know. But I won’t let him go down that road again. ESPADA Maybe the train was delayed. It's Brooklyn. TUFO No, I should have driven him myself. MURPHYS BARTENDER Compliments of the brunette in the corner booth. TUFO Mm-hm. Now would be a good time to explain. PHELPS Pull up a chair. LOMAN I have a seat already, thanks. Don't you prefer diners to bars? BENNETT We felt you deserved a thank you for tying up loose ends. Your bill’s been taken care of. LOMAN Loose ends? BENNETT Tomas Molina, the liquor store owner. That was effective intimidation. LOMAN Wozniak made a deal with your boss. You can stop following me. BENNETT I respect a man who doesn't need to brag. You're talented. The way you snapped into action and covered up that shooting at the Sunrise? PHELPS Face it, Michael. You're a natural. We like naturals. BENNETT You're smart. You deserve more. LOMAN I'm good where I'm at, thanks for the drinks though. PHELPS Don't fight your ambition, Detective. It'll give you headaches. WOZNIAK Making new friends? LOMAN I handled it. WOZNIAK Oh, you handled it? Is that what you do now? ESPADA Woz! Come on! We need back-up! WOZNIAK Start without me. I got something I need to handle. WOZNIAK I'm going to ask you a question and I want a straight answer. Why did my son come to you? LOMAN What? WOZNIAK At the funeral. Why you, Loman? Why did my son come to you? LOMAN Woz, you had left. WOZNIAK He had already talked to me. You were there, surrounded by all the people who've known him since he was a little kid and yet he came to you. What made him think he could get secrets out of you? LOMAN I was straight with him last time. Last fall when he was writing that piece on Julie Aires. WOZNIAK And you shared with him what exactly? The finer points of police work? How I run my crew? LOMAN Your son knows who you are. It's no secret. WOZNIAK What's no secret? LOMAN You know. WOZNIAK No, I don't know. You tell me. LOMAN That you can be a hard nose son-of-a-bitch when it comes to getting results. WOZNIAK Did you tell him anything about Donnie Pomp? LOMAN I told him I got grilled by an Internal Affairs officer that you didn’t tell me was your friend. WOZNIAK I don't remember you asking. LOMAN And I told him that I killed him in your kitchen and that you protected me by burning the body. WOZNIAK Why would you tell him that? LOMAN Because not all of us can carry around this madness like you can, all right? Sometimes the truth just crawls out. WOZNIAK Next time you feel like confessing, you find a priest. HARLEE What are you doing in here? GINA I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. HARLEE What? Go through my stuff? Try on my clothes? GINA I, I didn't bring any clothes. Sorry, I should've asked before borrowing anything. HARLEE Maybe you should go back to your place. GINA No, please. I, I'm sorry. I just, after pretending to be you for so long, and, and seeing how obsessed Stahl was with you, I guess I, I was curious. Or, or jealous. I don’t know. I just, I needed to know what it was like, to be you. HARLEE Okay. You need to go. GINA Harlee, please, I promise, it won't happen again. HARLEE I know, because you're gonna get out of my house. Right now. GINA He'll come after me. You know that. HANDSOME BARTENDER What's your drink? WOZNIAK You got any Drano back there? HANDSOME BARTENDER Close enough. FIT GUY You're not drinking that for the taste. A friendly ear beats eighty proof Drano. WOZNIAK Don't get too close to me. Anybody that gets too close gets hurt. They get hurt. I end up here, trying to forget. FIT GUY I know a better way to forget. FIT GUY All business tonight, huh? WOZNIAK Don't talk. FIT GUY Relax. I won't bite. What's your problem? WOZNIAK Why would I want to be touched by some Williamsburg, hipster fairy? FIT GUY Let me go. Son of a bitch. You're dead. You should have run. WOZNIAK You don't know me very well. GINA I'm not going to steal anything. HARLEE Did you ever really see him? GINA I wouldn't lie to you. HARLEE But you're not sure. GINA I thought I was. HARLEE No. No more.
