ACOSTA BENNETT COLE CRISTINA DETECTIVE_CATES DETECTIVE_WILSON DISPATCH DOCTOR ESPADA GINA HARLEE LINDA LOMAN MEDICAL_EXAMINER MYERS NATE PHELPS RAMSEY STAHL TESS TUFO VANESSA VERCO WOZNIAK ZWERLING HARLEE Previously on “Shades of Blue”. DOCTOR Bullet is lodged right up against the bone, you need me to remind you what happens if it moves? MYERS Did you share with her your belief that Agent Stahl is back in the city? HARLEE You now have independent corroboration. GINA I couldn’t tell you this before because Harlee was there, but Harlee was as obsessed with Agent Stahl as she said he was with her. MYERS Your only witness retracted her story. HARLEE Gina! STAHL Now debt needs to be paid. HARLEE Intelligence is in bed with the Riohacha cartel. He’s also protecting Enrique Ortiz. COLE You two detectives, move along. BENNETT We have her statement. HARLEE Was Bennett ordered to kill James Nava? COLE Improvised. VERCO Cops investigating cops is dangerous business. Going against that blue wall is a lonely path. HARLEE Theo Bennett, you’re under arrest for the murder of James Nava. VERCO Prepare to be unpopular. HARLEE It’s a purchase agreement for a property in Red Hook - a bonded warehouse. COLE I’ll find out. HARLEE Ramsey’s bringing in another shipment. WOZNIAK Don’t make a scene. LOMAN What is it? HARLEE Requesting immediate back up! LOMAN Cover’s here! Wait, wait, wait! They’re turning back! WOZNIAK The blue wall – once you cross it, you’re alone. TESS Turn around or I swear to God I’ll shoot you right here. TESS Forty-two, twelve, roll a code three, ten-thirteen to sixty-seven West Street. Responding to officers in distress. HARLEE You'd think sirens would scare these guys away. WOZNIAK Not if they're cops themselves. DISPATCH Backup on the way. TESS Negative, they all turned around. Six black and whites aborted. I'm here by myself. Call it again. DISPATCH Copy. All units, roll a code three at sixty-seven West Street LOMAN Patrol car! One came back. TUFO Just one? ESPADA Thirty-four thousand cops in this city and only two still like us? WOZNIAK It’s a start. ESPADA Shots are subsiding. HARLEE So we take the door? TUFO Tess, no! Tess, pull back! HARLEE The sole responder? It's Tess? TUFO Kamikaze style. ESPADA She's alone? TUFO And crazier than we thought. WOZNIAK Sometime crazy is good! WOZNIAK ESPADA Woz! WOZNIAK Ow! TUFO Whoa, whoa whoa. Easy there, easy there Sheriff. TESS Did anybody get hurt? HARLEE You're our only backup. TESS Someone had to come save your asses. LOMAN Did you see anyone? TESS They didn't wait for an introduction. They sprayed cover fire and took off. WOZNIAK Look at this, not one bruise. Yep. HARLEE Cocaine? WOZNIAK Beats Granny Smith. HARLEE So, our intel was solid. Ramsey is using this warehouse to move shipments for the cartel. WOZNIAK The one sample that they didn’t get to move out. HARLEE If we can link these drugs to Intelligence, we have our charge to hold Bennett. ESPADA Ah, here we go. The cavalry. Brave sons-of-bitches. LOMAN Blue wall had a change of heart? TUFO Little late to answer the bell now. WOZNIAK Twenty-seven years I've worn a badge. Twenty-seven years, I banked on one certainty. That if I made a distress call, a brotherhood would be there at my aide. HARLEE When we expose the Intelligence Unit, we'll get them back. WOZNIAK Twenty-seven years! HARLEE Woz, once people know the truth. WOZNIAK How many times did I tell you this would happen if you arrested a cop?! A member of the Intelligence Unit. HARLEE Look, we still have a few more hours to charge Bennett and turn this whole P.R. war around. WOZNIAK This isn't about P.R. This isn’t about you. We were all left to die. We're all alone, Harlee. We tried it your way and now we're not part of the tribe anymore. TUFO Save your ammo. You missed the action. VERCO We heard the code three. Where are the responding officers? WOZNIAK Minutes away. VERCO Nobody showed, huh? WOZNIAK You did. VERCO Is that a thank you? WOZNIAK Did you hear me say “thank you”? VERCO Guess I don’t have to say “you're welcome”, then. What are you doing at an offline bonded warehouse? HARLEE Nothing much. Just intercepting a meeting between an international cartel and their fixer in Brooklyn. VERCO No arrests, huh? LOMAN We might have if backup had shown up. VERCO I can't say I didn't warn you. HARLEE Santos. DETECTIVE WILSON Detective Wilson from the eight-five. Do you know a Gina Romero? HARLEE A little. Why? DETECTIVE WILSON We found your card in her place. Were you investigating a vice crime? HARLEE She's a witness in a fugitive case. DETECTIVE WILSON Not anymore. DISPATCH DETECTIVE WILSON This is not a museum for morbid curiosity. HARLEE Detective Santos. You called me. DETECTIVE WILSON You didn't have to come. F.B.I. confirmed an active investigation. HARLEE Who found her? DETECTIVE WILSON Neighbor. HARLEE You like any other names for it? DETECTIVE WILSON In her line of work, I'd say the phone book. HARLEE Murder weapon on site? DETECTIVE CATES Aren't you in Matt Wozniak's unit? HARLEE Last I checked. I’m gonna need access to all forensics. DETECTIVE WILSON Oh, that part of the six-four. DETECTIVE CATES If you'll excuse us, Detective, but we can't have you polluting the scene. HARLEE This could be my suspect. All right? He’s a.he’s a client turned stalker. DETECTIVE CATES If we need you, we’ll call you. HARLEE He threatened her, all right? He is dangerous and he won't stop. DETECTIVE CATES Well, at least he stabs his victims in the front. HARLEE Yeah, straight through the heart. STAHL I just decided it was finally time you paid for all the things you’ve done, Harlee. It’s a long list of desperate acts. You must be in a bad way to make that offer. Remember your scenario training, Harlee. You forget how well I know you. You can learn something from me, Harlee. That silver ring, I accept it from you. Soon I’m gonna heal you. HARLEE CRISTINA Hi, mom. HARLEE Hey, where are you? CRISTINA At Michaela's cramming for History. HARLEE I'll be right there. CRISTINA Is everything okay? HARLEE You know the man who took me? He attacked someone. CRISTINA Someone we know? HARLEE It's not for sure it was him yet. But there's a chance he is, and I'm being extra cautious. But maybe you should ask Michaela's parents if you can spend the night. CRISTINA What are you going to do? HARLEE Uncle Woz needs me. We have a very bad man locked up at the precinct and time’s ticking. TUFO I'm going to take a wild guess.and say it didn't go well. TESS I'm the only cop out there willing to do.their job and I'm the one getting called in on the carpet? No freaking way. I'm gonna find out if our new.little Captain's still in the building and tell him.I am sick of quietly taking this beating. TUFO Tess, that is not a good idea. TESS What? So, I should thank Sergeant “Asshat” for keeping me riding with that rat? TUFO Stone wrote you up? TESS Yeah, and I'm supposed to play nice. TUFO Well, maybe don't point a gun at him for the next few days. TESS Oh, what? You think this is on me? TUFO Never. You're a model of restraint, Tess. TESS I have given this department over a decade of my life. I have followed Woz and Harlee.into war, sacrificed my marriage. All the nights I’ve missed with my kids. And what do I get? TUFO You're a loyal soldier, Tess. Everybody knows that. TESS No, I got a demotion and now.and now the threat of.of a suspension. Like it wasn't hard enough to stay afloat. TUFO I i i can't let you go in there. Not in this state. TESS What state? TUFO Well, the Captain's ego and your mouth.that's a pink slip waiting to happen. TESS Get out of my way, Tufo. I mean it. TUFO I do too. TESS Let go of me, Tufo. Let go of me. TUFO That's the thing. I can't. We do not let go of each other. You go in there, I go too. ESPADA Woz is looking for you. He's in with Verco. HARLEE Any luck on something to charge Bennett? LOMAN Well, remember when he and, uh, Cole made that domestic assault call.at the Embassy Hotel go away? HARLEE Cartel guy, Enrique Ortiz. LOMAN The room was being held in his battered girlfriend's name. ESPADA Vanessa Ruiz. According to D.H.S., she never left the country. LOMAN We find her, she testifies that Bennett shows up and the son of a cartel kingpin.got a free pass. HARLEE Not exactly a smoking gun. LOMAN It suggests the Cartel has him on payroll. VERCO It’s a simple question, Lieutenant. WOZNIAK Should I be more insulted at the accusation or that you think that I'd be stupid enough to call the cops to my own stash house? VERCO Maybe you knew they wouldn't show up. HARLEE Wait. How did it become our stash? VERCO The incorporation titles are listed in Lieutenant Wozniak's name. HARLEE To Ramsey's bonded warehouse? VERCO To everything related to a shell corporation named Magnolia. Since its inception.in two thousand and seven. WOZNIAK Since sundown. Another gift from Intelligence. VERCO Not according to the County Clerk's office, it’s not. WOZNIAK Do you actually believe that Ramsey's not capable of switching ownership documents? VERCO I'm running out of reasons to stick my neck out for you. WOZNIAK No one’s asking for a favor, just do your job! VERCO Lieutenant, doing my job would mean putting cuffs on you right now. WOZNIAK Then put me in cuffs! Put them on! VERCO If that warehouse isn’t yours, how did you know to look there? HARLEE Bennett. VERCO Okay. You’re telling me that a member of the Intelligence Unit caved under your questioning? HARLEE You know that something is not right here. That's why you let us hold Bennett. Just run out the clock and your bargain may pay off. VERCO It's your bargain. And in less than sixteen hours Cinderella gets out of here a free man. WOZNIAK He hung us. HARLEE Ramsey’s panicked. We're getting close. That's why he's trying to lay off culpability. WOZNIAK This was inevitable. You begged me to take on Ramsey and now we're getting our asses handed to us just like I said we would, and then you disappear on me. HARLEE The eight-five called me to the site of. WOZNIAK The eight-five? What? Are you switching precincts? They didn’t show up either. Nobody showed up! HARLEE I will find how the warehouse deed got switched. Loman right now is working on a lead to charge Bennett with racketeering. Then we can use him to get Ramsey. WOZNIAK Forget the stutter step and just beat it out of the son-of-a-bitch. HARLEE Bennett’s never gonna talk. Can’t we just stick with Cole. WOZNIAK Cole who led us to the ambush? HARLEE I know better now. HARLEE Surprised to see me alive? COLE Better come inside if you wanna keep it that way. HARLEE So you can shoot me at closer range? COLE If we'd been shooting to kill, no one would've walked out. HARLEE You were there? COLE I tried to warn you. HARLEE So, what was that? An ambush? A setup? Both? COLE Ramsey got nervous. He canceled his meeting with the cartel. He sent us to move product he was storing for them at the warehouse. Only you were already raiding the place. HARLEE And the bullets flying at our heads? What was that? Just a precaution? COLE They were only meant to pin you down so we could get what we came for. HARLEE Always so helpful. Only it's never clear who you're helping. COLE I still have to answer to Ramsey but I made sure everyone walked out alive. WOZNIAK Go on, take a bite. BENNETT Said the snake to the righteous. WOZNIAK You’re the righteous one, huh? You’ve already sinned, what do you care? BENNETT Burden of proof. How inconvenient. WOZNIAK Did you know Pabst never won a blue ribbon for his beer? BENNETT It’s not my label. WOZNIAK History is whatever story sticks. COLE The information wasn't wrong, there were cartel drugs at the warehouse. HARLEE That mysteriously switched owners within hours? COLE Ramsey leads an intelligence force. You don't think he can leverage a computer hacker to switch a name? HARLEE Was it his idea to use me, or yours? WOZNIAK We tracked down your lead to your boss's warehouse Magnolia Inc. BENNETT Never heard of it and never gave you a lead. WOZNIAK Tell that to Ramsey when he joins you in general population. He lost a lot of cash when we intercepted his shipment. BENNETT Didn't know apples were that valuable. WOZNIAK So, you're saying that he does ship them. BENNETT I'm exercising my right to silence. WOZNIAK Really? From Colombia, I believe. Riohacha cartel, huh? COLE I am on your side. HARLEE Then prove it. Tell me where Vanessa is. COLE Who's Vanessa? HARLEE A loose end- Enrique's battered girlfriend. If she's still in New York, she can establish a racketeering link between Bennett and the cartel. COLE And me. HARLEE So now it's your turn to trust. WOZNIAK Ramsey always has a contingency plan. What do you think it is for snitches? BENNETT I'd be more concerned about his plan for you. WOZNIAK Ooh, who's he gonna get to go after me? BENNETT I'll volunteer. WOZNIAK Like you volunteered to kill Parker in that diner after he went to I.A.? How’d you convince yourself that betrayal was loyalty? BENNETT Parker also thought that he could outsmart Ramsey. Didn't count on him having eyes and ears everywhere. WOZNIAK Ah, so he has people in I.A. Thanks for the information. HARLEE Cole thinks Ramsey changed the warehouse deed electronically. He deals with hackers all the time. WOZNIAK Yeah. No one could've guessed that. Text me this hacker's name and address. HARLEE Woz, it's five A.M. and he can't exactly ask Ramsey. But he is getting a location on the cartel girlfriend. WOZNIAK Your Cole's got a P.H.D. in half-answers. HARLEE He admitted to being at the warehouse. WOZNIAK So he sent us into an ambush and then shot at us. That's a reliable source. HARLEE We'll see if he delivers on Vanessa, the cartel link. WOZNIAK I'm not sitting on my hands waiting for information to fall in my lap. I'll flush out this hacker myself. MEDICAL EXAMINER You looking for a good listener? HARLEE I knew the victim. I was hoping to get some information on her murder. MEDICAL EXAMINER Haven't seen anything like it in a while. She had ligature marks on her wrists but no evidence of intercourse. Single stab wound, directly into her heart, severing the ascending aorta. HARLEE Cold blooded. Methodical. Skillful. MEDICAL EXAMINER Probably dead before her brain even registered the pain. WOZNIAK Hey! Black? Black with milk? NATE Thanks. I'm already three cups in. WOZNIAK I tried calling you. NATE Yeah, I watched it ring all through my staff meeting. WOZNIAK There’s a callback feature that reduces the risk of embarrassing visits from your father. NATE Dad, I'm swamped. What do you need? WOZNIAK Do you remember the computer hackers that we used for that thing with Julia? NATE That thing? You sound like a mobster, Dad. WOZNIAK This is important to me. Can you get in touch with them? I need them to lead me to a particular hacker. NATE Well, it’s not exactly like we trade Christmas cards. WOZNIAK But you can reach them? NATE You see this reporter over here? The one that looks like a professor? He's breaking a piece on cops and drug trafficking. And he just asked me in front of a room full of people if you and I were related. WOZNIAK Yeah, what did you tell him? NATE That it's complicated. WOZNIAK Don't believe everything you read in the papers. NATE No, no, it's not just in the papers, Dad. It is everywhere. There are links between you and a South American drug kingpin- secret protection, hidden real estate. WOZNIAK Do you know how to verify a story? NATE And when you got close to being busted by the N.Y.P.D.'s Intelligence Unit, you arrested one of their men to deflect attention. WOZNIAK And you believe it? NATE Does it matter? WOZNIAK To me. Yeah. It matters. NATE I wish I could say my father would never do that. COLE Monarch Hotel. Seven blocks up to the right. HARLEE How did you find her? COLE I have to share every secret? HARLEE When you shoot at me, yeah. COLE Don't worry. If anyone knows how you found this woman, the bullets will be aimed at me. HARLEE As soon as Vanessa I.D.’s Bennett, I'll drive her back and file her statement under an alias. It'll be like she was out for an afternoon of shopping. COLE No one in my crew besides Bennett and Ramsey knows who she is. Let alone where to find her. WOZNIAK Hey! You parked in my spot. VERCO Is there a sign or did you urinate? WOZNIAK I'll give you a pass in exchange for a favor. VERCO That's not really a pass. WOZNIAK File a sixty-one saying that you're following a lead into the computer hacker that altered the deed to yesterday's drug warehouse. VERCO Why not you just give me the lead? WOZNIAK I don't have it yet. Hence the favor. VERCO You're out of favors with me, Lieutenant. But feel free to call me when you come up with any actual evidence. WOZNIAK Ramsey has a rat in your department. VERCO Last time I checked, Internal Affairs embeds informants in other departments, not the other way around. WOZNIAK You've had your suspicions. You know it. You're too good of a cop not to. VERCO A compliment? Wow. You really are desperate, huh? WOZNIAK Bennett confirmed it. 'Eyes and ears’- his exact words. VERCO You know Intelligence Officers are trained in spreading misinformation. WOZNIAK So am I. Just file the report, the mole tells Ramsey, Ramsey covers his tracks. He leads me to his hacker. VERCO How do you know that there is a hacker? WOZNIAK The deed was changed in less than two hours. VERCO I love nothing more than to be owed favors from dirty cops. But Class C felony charges for submitting a false report - not so much. WOZNIAK It's a snapshot of your understanding at the time. VERCO If you ever teach a corrupt cop seminar, you sign me up. WOZNIAK You have a leak, Tom. And, in your gut, you know it. VERCO I do not know it and I'm not breaking the law for you. But seeing as we’ve had this breakthrough, I'm gonna forget you asked. Good luck, Matt. Good luck. COLE It’s not the most subtle frame job I've seen. HARLEE He's taunting me. COLE The rogue F.B.I. agent who abducted you? I do my research. HARLEE Quite thoroughly. That case file is sealed. COLE The subject matters to me. Hey, hey, he, you really think he would risk killing a woman just to mess with your head? HARLEE He hired her to play out his obsessive sexual fantasies. He pretended she was me. Called her by my name. COLE And now he's murdered her. HARLEE He still has two conflicting impulses -to possess me and to kill me. That day in the woods, I took the choice away from him. In his twisted reality, he thinks he's the one who can save me. COLE Do you want me to get rid of it for you? HARLEE You just help Detective Loman bring in Vanessa. I’ll dispose of the knife. ACOSTA That’s it gentleman. ZWERLING Okay, I’m off to interrogate those “narco” guys who use dope as cologne. VERCO This genius files five separate arrest reports using the pseudonyms Bird, Parish, McHale, Maxwell, Johnson. ACOSTA Tom, hold back a second, will you? Shut the door. You've been holding a member of the Intelligence Unit for almost forty-eight hours. VERCO Theo Bennett. Uh, uh, two anti-crime detectives who work the six- four arrested him. ACOSTA Oh, I'm familiar. The same detectives you investigated last year. VERCO They made a persuasive case. ACOSTA Before or after they were implicated in a scheme involving a cartel warehouse? VERCO I'm looking into that. ACOSTA Well, in the meantime, I'm cutting our losses and releasing Bennett right now. You bet on the wrong horse, Tom. VERCO Yes, ma'am. Deputy Commissioner? I have a lead on a computer hacker that may have interfered with the deed of ownership of that bonded warehouse. LOMAN Enrique is locked up. He can no longer hurt you. VANESSA He doesn't need to do it himself. LOMAN Look, all we need you to do is point out one of the police officers who showed up at that other hotel the other day. VANESSA Where's your partner, the lady? TESS All right. What's the play here? WOZNIAK I set the bait and you, Tufo and Espada wait for Ramsey or his guys to lead us to this hacker. TESS So, another Hail Mary black op? WOZNIAK Certain things you have to do yourself. TESS What’s this one gonna cost me, Woz? WOZNIAK I'm working on the detective shields. Just need to get out from under all this. TESS Patience doesn't pay the bills. My salary's been decimated. We got no “extracurriculars”. I've been using credit cards to stay afloat but the ship is sinking. WOZNIAK How much are you under? TESS I think we’re passed that point. WOZNIAK No, come on, let me help you. TESS No, I can’t always go crying to daddy. WOZNIAK Just give me a number. Set aside an advance, work out a loan. What? TESS One hundred and fifty-seven thousand, four hundred and twelve dollars. WOZNIAK Whoa. ESPADA Where's Harlee? LOMAN She's supposed to meet us here. Is the lineup ready? ESPADA Yeah, I'm assembling volunteers. I’m just waiting on Verco to observe. I filed it under an unrelated case. LOMAN Good idea. Listen, there's going to be a one-way glass, all right? All you gotta do is point out the police officer who intervened on Enrique’s behalf at that hotel. ESPADA What the hell are you guys doing walking through here? He's a witness. HARLEE Ten to one the blood on that knife matches Gina Romero. MYERS Am I going to find any prints on it? HARLEE I don’t think Stahl's that stupid. But he's a lunatic. Anything's possible. Myer: And what do you believe he's trying to accomplish? HARLEE He’s trying to destroy my life, undermine my credibility. MYERS When was the last time you saw Miss Romero? HARLEE Right before she called to change her story, I think. MYERS When I told you that she recanted, did you try to contact her? HARLEE Agent Myers, is this an official interrogation? MYERS No physical evidence linking Stahl to the victim. No witnesses that put him on site. But you were seen at her apartment both before and after the murder. HARLEE You think I killed the only other person in New York City who had seen Stahl, then forgot the murder weapon, went back and retrieved it under the nose of about a dozen N.Y.P.D. officers, only to then walk it over to the F.B.I. MYERS Well, there's one inconsistency. HARLEE Only one? MYERS Stahl created an extensive profile on you. Thorough, detailed- designed to draw reliable behavioral forecasts. HARLEE And what would those be? MYERS You would've gotten rid of the knife. WOZNIAK Four! RAMSEY I'll have to switch to a club with a more exclusive door policy. WOZNIAK For a second there, I mistook you for an Intelligence Agent. First sign of danger, you’re supposed to switch up your routine. RAMSEY Only with serious threats. WOZNIAK You’re gonna have to re-calibrate your risk assessment if you want to survive prison, so you’ll get plenty of free sex. RAMSEY Even your threats are getting soft, Matt. WOZNIAK Sudden death is overrated. I prefer a life sentence, this way I can watch the life drain from your eyes over the next thirty years. RAMSEY You don't get to where I am without staying two strokes ahead. WOZNIAK Your man Bennett, he sure can sing. RAMSEY Is that supposed to trick me into giving you a fighting chance? WOZNIAK You'll find out in court when the hacker testifies. RAMSEY The hacker? Didn’t you hear? The man suffered a fatal car accident. A tragedy, really. Talent like that is hard to come by. Come back and visit any time. I can teach you a couple moves. ESPADA The victim is a twenty-two-year old M.I.T. dropout. He was investigated back in October for some online scam but no charges were filed. WOZNIAK Let me guess, Intelligence. ESPADA Officer Phelps is listed on the case file. I doubt we’re gonna find anything back at his apartment. WOZNIAK I told, there’s a mole. VERCO A car accident is proof of that? WOZNIAK It was timed perfectly. VERCO You promised me that you had a plan. WOZNIAK For a trap to work, I have to know it's set. VERCO You never mentioned a man's life was in danger. WOZNIAK What did you think Ramsey was gonna do? Send him an e-mail? VERCO Congratulations, Lieutenant. It only took one dead stranger to confirm Ramsey's reach in Internal Affairs. No wonder you're so popular in the department. HARLEE What the hell happened? Where's Vanessa? WOZNIAK She spooked when she saw Bennett. Loman went looking for her now. HARLEE What were those two even doing in the same room together? VERCO Stairwell. Nobody knew she was coming and Bennett was being escorted to Captain Pines’ office to have his confiscated service weapon returned. HARLEE Returned? VERCO Standard protocol when a police officer is released from custody. HARLEE We have a witness linking Bennett to the son of a cartel kingpin. VERCO And we had a deadline. HARLEE Three hours from now. VERCO Look, I held him as long as I could. I was overruled. Bennett was discharged before I got back here. HARLEE We were waiting for you. VERCO Yeah? And where were you? My advice? Stop making enemies of the N.Y.P.D. And stay out of the way until Bennett's crew comes to pick him up. HARLEE Wait. Bennett's still in the building? HARLEE Where are you? COLE Not right now. I'm, uh, I’m in Brooklyn. HARLEE With your team, on your way to my precinct for a pickup? COLE Must be the smoke alarm. Dad's been having some trouble with it. HARLEE How far out are you? COLE I'm sure he'll be right back. HARLEE Find a way to peel off. COLE Well, is there, uh, is there any smoke? HARLEE Bennett saw Enrique's girl at the precinct. The moment he reveals that, Ramsey knows he has a leak. COLE Um. Yeah, go ahead. HARLEE We can drive Bennett to One Police Plaza, paint him as a snitch. Where were you picking him up? COLE Try the back door. HARLEE Woz. The motor pool. Try to find an excuse not to go back to headquarters. COLE That’s, uh, it’s.it was worth a shot. I'll tell him. PHELPS House on fire? COLE No, it’s a.it’s a faulty alarm. My dad's neighbor needed permission to get inside. PHELPS You just missed the left. COLE Ah, is this one way? I hate Brooklyn. BENNETT Miss me already? HARLEE We didn't have time to debrief. BENNETT Well, I'm sure there'll be a reunion. WOZNIAK Has it occurred to you that nobody’s come to pick you up yet? HARLEE We're heading to Manhattan. We can give him a lift. Can't we, Woz? WOZNIAK I don’t know forty-eight hours in a holding cell, he’s kinda ripe. BENNETT Last time I got into a car with you, it didn't turn out so well for anyone. WOZNIAK Shut up. HARLEE Oh, come on, don't say that. We got to know each other, didn't we? HARLEE We found Ramsey's warehouse, we found Enrique's girl. Word travels fast. Best bet is for you to switch teams. BENNETT I'm a free man. There’s no reason for Ramsey to believe I'd work with you. HARLEE Or you worked with us and now you're a free man. WOZNIAK Do you know what happened to captured Soviet spies during the cold war once they were returned to Moscow? BENNETT A bullet between the eyes? WOZNIAK What do you think, Harlee? HARLEE Ramsey's nervous. If he thinks he has a snitch. We all know how that ends. WOZNIAK Or we pull the trigger ourselves, save Ramsey the trouble. HARLEE Unless you give us a good reason to keep you alive. WOZNIAK I'll keep it running. Make sure you cut the zip ties when you're done. HARLEE Coin flip? WOZNIAK Sure. Heads, one bullet. Tails, two. HARLEE I'm not following the play here. WOZNIAK I'm not playing. HARLEE Oh, you want to kill him? WOZNIAK I need you to choose, Harlee. Right now. HARLEE We deliver Bennett to Ramsey and regroup. That's not surrender. WOZNIAK There's no nailing this guy straight up. You want justice for Nava? It's gotta be done at the dirty end of the field. HARLEE What? An execution? WOZNIAK Making this right and doing what's right aren't the same thing. HARLEE No. More death isn't going to fix anything. Stahl killed Gina. A stab through the heart meant for me. We continue down this path and I will never escape him. WOZNIAK Kill this him, or don’t kill him. I don't care. I just want you home. NATE Look at these though. I used to always listen to it before bedtime. LINDA It would be a miracle if that is not scratched useless. WOZNIAK Hey. LINDA Oh, you're home early. WOZNIAK Checking out the latest moth population? NATE Jay bought a record player for the house. So, I figured since these were just collecting dust.These should do for now. You want me to take the rest upstairs? LINDA I i thought you were staying for dinner. NATE Yeah, I don't want to leave Jay to eat by himself. LINDA He's more than welcome and you know that. NATE It's okay. I'll call you tomorrow, okay? WOZNIAK Leave it. I’ll take it. LINDA Matt, why don’t you let him take care of it? WOZNIAK Nah. He's clearly in a hurry and in no mood to help. I’ll take care of it. NATE Mom's right, with your back and everything. WOZNIAK Now you got my back, huh? NATE This is slightly different from breaking the law, dad. WOZNIAK That someone suffered a fatal car accident because you didn't trust me enough to help. NATE Are you sure that's on me? WOZNIAK I’m positive. NATE Because, in my experience, people tend to get hurt around you an awful lot. LINDA What is this about, Matt? WOZNIAK Nothing. I shouldn't have brought it up. NATE Nothing? You're under investigation for drug charges and the entire N.Y.P.D. hates your guts. Are you really this blind? His job. His everything. WOZNIAK Time for you to go. NATE Don't you think she has the right to know? LINDA Nate, that's enough. NATE Wait, wait, wait. You're seriously defending him? After all the lies, this man, everything he's done to you? You guys sure deserve each other. WOZNIAK Thank you. LINDA I did not raise my son to speak to his father like that. WOZNIAK He always was strong willed. LINDA I wasn't taking your side. WOZNIAK I know. There's always been a wall between us. I used to think I put it up, but maybe he did- maybe he knows he's safer that way. Better off without me. Maybe they all are. LINDA They? Who's they? WOZNIAK You know. LINDA Yeah. I do know. WOZNIAK Ow! TUFO You know, I think I know what you need. Release some tension. TESS I think I sense a indecent proposal on the horizon. TUFO No, not by me. I mean, not that you're definitely, like, you know what I’m saying. TESS Aren't visiting hours almost over? TUFO Yeah. Walk you to the subway? TESS You kidding me? Joe’s got the kids and I just paid six bucks for this drink. I ain’t going nowhere. TUFO Well, home safe. TESS Safe tomorrow. TUFO You know, Tess, um, I thought I would hate being back in that patrol car. But two days without you. Now I know I do. TESS Some of us are just slow learners. TUFO Right. PHELPS Alone at the bar. Is that how they treat heroes in your unit? TESS You say that like it's a bad thing. PHELPS Doesn't scream self-satisfaction. TESS Well, shows how much you know. PHELPS I know it's not just the demotion. Or the divorce, or the loan default, or the four maxed-out credit cards. No, what I think it comes down to is dignity. You've been taking the hit for so long for Wozniak. For what? TESS Look, if you came to humiliate me, why don’t you just get in line? PHELPS Ramsey rewards loyalty, especially the fierce kind you demonstrated. He takes care of his own. TESS Oh yeah? How much is a soul going for these days? PHELPS A hundred and fifty-seven thousand, four hundred and twelve dollars. TESS I'm not that kind of girl. PHELPS You might surprise yourself. TESS Or your left temple with my right hook. PHELPS Measure of good faith. You'll be back on patrol with that good-looking partner of yours by tomorrow morning. TESS Oh, yeah? Maybe I should set the two of you up. PHELPS No, that man has eyes for you. MYERS You're going to kill me if you keep doing that. STAHL I can’t exactly drop by the office. MYERS That’s funny. Whose fault is that? STAHL Technically, it’s Harlee Santos. MYERS You're right. She's good. I got a decent Argentinean malbec. If that works. STAHL Well, I remember when two buck chuck was enough for you, you're becoming quite refined. MYERS It's the city. I'm adaptable, I guess. So are you. STAHL Survival of the fittest. MYERS Harlee made a surprising adaptation today. STAHL Well, that’s one of her strengths. MYERS Makes you wonder if she had anything to do with that prostitute's murder. STAHL Which is exactly why she did it. Listen to me Harlee Santos is smart, she’s manipulative and she’s ruthless. You can never let your guard down with her. COLE Thanks for the warning. HARLEE I'm sorry. Bennett was never supposed to see Vanessa. COLE Yeah, well, when you play with fire. HARLEE Did Bennett tell Ramsey about her? COLE Ramsey called me for a meeting. HARLEE What? Here? COLE No, I turned my phone off as soon as I got the text. HARLEE Well, he can still track you. COLE A dead battery is easy to explain, pulling my SIM card out- not so much. HARLEE Yeah, you know, you can't start acting guilty. You know, it's possible that we found her on our own. COLE Under a fake name at a hotel across town? Ramsey will know you got tipped and it could only be Bennett or me. HARLEE Well, the longer you stay off the grid the more suspicious you look. COLE I need to get my go-bag. And any cash you can get your hands on. HARLEE You leave now and you can never come back. All right, there’s gotta be another way out of this. COLE Last time Ramsey was feeling jumpy and betrayed we had a diner full of dead bodies. HARLEE Can you get ahead of it? Say that we followed you. COLE I had no reason to set foot in that new hotel. HARLEE Wozniak's great in the box. He got it out of Bennett. COLE Our job is keeping secrets. HARLEE Unless he revealed information under duress. COLE Or I kept my mouth shut. Loyalty under fire. HARLEE What? COLE I mean, it's.it’s no picnic but it's better than the alternative. HARLEE What? How are you going to pull it off? COLE Torture. The kind that leaves a mark. It.it explains my absence. It.it gives me credibility. Maybe even buys some sympathy. HARLEE Ramsey’s still gonna want to eliminate the leak. COLE As long as I can exonerate myself, he'll look elsewhere. This would certainly do the trick. HARLEE No. COLE It’s searing flesh, Harlee. I'm not going to be able to do it to myself. HARLEE No! All right?! I can't do that. I won’t do it. COLE Well, then I'm a dead man! Thank you. Don't hold back. You have to make it look believable. HARLEE Should we have a safe word? COLE Kinda defeats the purpose, don’t you think? HARLEE You told me to make it look believable. COLE Don't stop until you’re finished. HARLEE This might hurt a little. COLE
