ADRIAN ANNA_KATE BAKER BARISTA COLE CRISTINA DETECTIVE_BILL DETECTIVE_LEFEVRE DISPATCH ENRIQUE ESPADA HARLEE INTERN KAREN LINDA LOMAN MYERS NATE OPERATOR_911 PHELPS RAMSEY RYDEL STAHL TESS TUFO VERCO WOZNIAK HARLEE Previously, on “Shades of Blue”. Where’s the M.T.A. footage of Stahl on the subway? It’s not him? STAHL Harlee killed that prostitute. She is calculating. You know I may never see my son, never again? Well, she’s not gonna lie her way out of this one. HARLEE What is this about? STAHL Make her lie to you. Ask her if she’s ever killed anyone. MYERS Have you ever killed someone and buried the body? WOZNIAK My daughter died from a drug overdose when she was nineteen. NATE You are under investigation and the N.Y.P.D. hates your guts. WOZNIAK And you believe it? NATE Does it matter? TESS What’s this one gonna cost me, “Woz”? I’ve been using the credit cards to stay afloat, but the ship is sinking. PHELPS You’ve been taking the hit for so long for Wozniak. Ramsey rewards loyalty. HARLEE Ramsey’s in bed with Enrique Ortiz and the Riohacha cartel. WOZNIAK I think I have something you want. RAMSEY A cartel leader’s first born? I think we can find a deal that works for everyone. HARLEE Cole doesn’t know we burned him, now we just have to avoid Ramsey killing him. COLE Ramsey knows your plan and now he has one of his own. HARLEE This is a set up. Let’s go. DISPATCH Attention all units, Lieutenant Matt Wozniak is wanted in connection to a terrorist cell. HARLEE Anyone follow you? ESPADA Would I be here if they did? Where's “Woz” hiding out? HARLEE My place. He's radioactive. ESPADA Are people buying this terrorist crap? It's all over the scanner. HARLEE Be grateful they have him flying solo. No mention of any of us. COLE Cut off the head, the body dies. ESPADA Not likely. Your boss is gonna have to take on all of us. HARLEE Make sure you’re on time to the precinct tomorrow. We don't want to look suspicious. ESPADA 'On time' might be suspicious. COLE Did you pick up that travel cash? HARLEE You can't go. COLE So you're not my ride out of town? HARLEE Can you just give me one day to come up with a plan? If you run now, there's no play left. COLE Running is the play. HARLEE Ramsey’s gonna expect you to leave…he’s gonna have eyes everywhere. COLE One day. Figure out your plan. If you don't hear from me, send flowers. HARLEE Where? WOZNIAK You weren't followed. HARLEE They don't have to follow me here to come looking. It's top of the list. WOZNIAK I'm not gonna stay long. HARLEE Have you spoken to Linda since becoming a fugitive? WOZNIAK No, she's upstate waiting for the dust to settle. She’s not happy about it. HARLEE Cristina refused to miss school, too. I gave Espada the assignment. WOZNIAK Good. Because…peace talks are over. HARLEE We're don’t have a lot of leverage here, “Woz”. WOZNIAK We've got Enrique. HARLEE What we need is an ally. Cole knows where the bodies are buried. WOZNIAK Where is he? HARLEE I don't know. I’m just weighing the options. So far, he's the only one. WOZNIAK He doesn't strike me as a hero. So I wouldn’t count on him. I gotta take Enrique somewhere Ramsey would never look. It’s best if we’re both on…the move. HARLEE Where will you go? WOZNIAK It’s my city. I know all her dark corners. HARLEE Time to find one of those corners. DETECTIVE LEFEVRE Detective Harlee Santos, this is a warrant…to seize your car for forensic evidence. TESS Well, this escalated quickly. End of the line had to come sometime. TUFO If Internal Affairs wanted to squeeze us…Verco would have separated us by now. Oh, here we go. Deny, deny, deny. TESS I look like a virgin to you? VERCO Hey, guys. Sorry to keep you waiting, place is hopping – there’s a fugitive on the run. TUFO Right, Wozniak and his terrorist cell. Don't tell me you bought that creative writing exercise. VERCO I try not to jump to conclusions. For instance, I was catching up on this fender bender over breakfast. Says here you were chasing a robbery suspect when you crashed into the U.S. Marshals accompanying Enrique Ortiz, a man arrested by your unit. Oh, and look, seems Enrique was liberated from his transport three minutes after the collision. TUFO Has more pop when we tell it. VERCO I'm all ears. TESS Well, now that you've ruined the ending. VERCO That's the point, Officer. We’re about to write the ending. TUFO We thought we recognized one of the suspects from the wanted sheets in the briefing room. We flashed our lights, the guy took off running. TESS Admission of guilt. TUFO So we gave chase in our patrol car. VERCO Not on foot? TUFO I ain't sprinting three blocks. I roll through a stop sign and this unmarked. VERCO Describe the suspect. TUFO White male, late twenties, slim, maybe five-eight. VERCO Maybe five-eight? You're a cop, you know what five-eight looks like. What was he wearing? TESS This is all in the report. VERCO Then you should recall. TUFO A hoodie. VERCO What color? Eh. Too late. Accessory charges. Gray. A gray hoodie is listed. Listen, Captain Pines could be coming through the door in the next five to seven minutes. He might bring a member of the Intelligence Unit with him. They are looking for scalps. Details never mattered like they do this morning. TUFO We were in pursuit of a robbery suspect. White male, late twenties, slim build, five-eight, gray hoodie. HARLEE They impounded my car. You couldn't give me a heads up? MYERS Gina Romero's murder is not my investigation. HARLEE No, finding Stahl is. Though you wouldn't know it. You shared information that I confided in you. MYERS I was obligated to pass it on to the investigative authority. HARLEE I brought you the knife. Now you're trying to use it against me? MYERS You know how this works. They have to look into all leads. HARLEE You get good reception in here? MYERS Some places. HARLEE Like the interrogation room? Robert Stahl. MYERS What about him? HARLEE He’s here. Maybe closer than I think. WOZNIAK TUFO I thought Adrian would be at school. KAREN I'll take him to his cousin's place after lunch - they have a Playstation. Food break. ADRIAN Thanks, mom. WOZNIAK Crusts cut off the bread? KAREN Yes. WOZNIAK Thank you. LOMAN They're looking for “Woz” in all the wrong places. HARLEE Did Agent Myers deliver that subway footage to you in person? LOMAN Who? HARLEE Special Agent Myers, F.B.I. You took the package for me. LOMAN No, it was a messenger. Why? HARLEE She was at Quantico with Stahl. Then he saved her life in the field. I think she's repaying the favor. LOMAN What makes you say that? HARLEE It was the way she was interrogating me. I was sitting across from him. The questions she asked, the things that she knew. And then I saw an earpiece on her desk, small enough to be invisible. LOMAN It's a long shot. HARLEE The warrant I requested for the C.C.T.V. footage after Nava's death. I ignored it because I thought I had seen the footage. LOMAN You think it was fake? HARLEE Agent Myers might be able to alter a copy, but she can't erase the original. LOMAN What time? HARLEE Eleven thirty-seven. I ignored my gut because of a video sent by someone I didn’t even know. LOMAN It was the F.B.I. Anyone would have assumed it was true. HARLEE There. Stop. Play it from here. Look up, you son-of-a-bitch. LOMAN Harlee. That's him. HARLEE You didn't believe me. It’s okay. I didn't believe myself. Myers had me thinking I was crazy. LOMAN So what now? HARLEE Now I give her crazy. NATE Ugh. You pack enough for one day? LINDA Funny how all you need is one day away to make you start missing home. NATE Nice of dad to arrange another vacation on the run. LINDA I am not running anymore. NATE Dad? You here? DETECTIVE BILL Oh, good. LINDA Matt? DETECTIVE BILL You're home. LINDA What are you doing in my house? DETECTIVE BILL My job. Warrant's on the table. NATE Warrant for what? What is this? DETECTIVE BILL When was the last time you saw Matt Wozniak? HARLEE Recognize him? I thought you might. BAKER I don't understand. HARLEE No, you don't. That's why Agent Myers is here to explain. MYERS I'm just as lost as she is. HARLEE Agent Myers sent me this. Same night, same camera. No Stahl. MYERS I never sent you anything. HARLEE Anything that wasn't doctored. What you're looking at is the original footage from the Transit Authority. BAKER Why haven't I seen this? MYERS The lab said it was corrupted. HARLEE Show me the paperwork. In fact, show me anything you've done to try to track down Robert Stahl. BAKER Stahl in New York certainly changes the focus of the Gina Romero murder investigation. I'll make sure your you’re your car is returned. HARLEE I don't give a damn about my car! Arrest her. Gail, she knows where he is. She knows. And she's been helping him! MYERS I want Agent Stahl brought to justice just as much as. HARLEE You know, I've heard that line from you. You put an Agent on finding Stahl who had a personal connection? MYERS Okay, this is delusional. Director Baker knows that I was in the same Quantico class as Stahl - that's why she put me on this case, I can think like him. HARLEE God, I hope not. You know, one day you're going to look in the mirror and realize that you helped a murderer stay free long enough to kill again. You have blood on your hands. BAKER I can take it from here, Detective. HARLEE It doesn’t wash off. STAHL I was just thinking about you. MYERS Really? Were you thinking about the full conduct review I was just hit with? You sent Harlee doctored security footage? STAHL Look, babe, Katie, she was she was getting too close. MYERS Well, she's closer now. She found the original. You made a mistake. The whole F.B.I. knows you're back. They only had Harlee's word before. Now they have proof I cannot erase. Robert, you need to leave New York now. You will be hunted down. WOZNIAK Plan A. didn't work out. ENRIQUE You think I care? WOZNIAK You got two choices, Enrique. Give me a name of someone in your organization who can negotiate, or I let the time run out. ENRIQUE What happens then? WOZNIAK Who knows? One minute. ENRIQUE My people don't negotiate. Untie me and I might let you live. WOZNIAK In case you’ve missed this, I'm the one standing between you and your freedom. Now I have a good idea about what’s gonna happen next. But I'm gonna give myself one minute to see if I can think of a better one. Because mine is very messy and I hate messes. CRISTINA Mom, I have this whole school thing going on. HARLEE I'm sorry. I just wanted to tell you that Espada's gonna pick you up after rehearsal tonight. CRISTINA Okay, that sounds fun, but that's a text. Why did you come all the way here? HARLEE I needed a breath. Always helps to see you. CRISTINA Okay, well, next time, take a breath, like, an hour later. Get me out of “calc”. Mom? Is there a reason you want me with Espada? Nevermind. You’re not gonna answer that. How about are you safe? HARLEE I'm safe. Now go, get your butt to calculus. Tell me this isn't your one phone call. WOZNIAK Enrique agreed to give us an intro. Now's your chance to finish this. WOZNIAK You Rydel? RYDEL For the purpose of this conversation. Have a seat. Smoke? This one has quickly become my favorite. Family owned tobacco farm. Hand- crafted. No short-cuts. No exceptions. How's Enrique? WOZNIAK Alive. And ready to be reunited with his daddy. RYDEL You will be compensated for the transaction. WOZNIAK That's a start but money isn't the only ask. HARLEE Two stipulations - one, once we deliver Enrique, your business dries up in Brooklyn. Two, you cut ties with Jordan Ramsey. RYDEL I'm afraid you've misunderstood. This isn't a negotiation. WOZNIAK If you want to see Enrique, that's exactly what this is. HARLEE Just call your boss and let's get this done. RYDEL There’s no need. I know the answer. HARLEE This is his son. RYDEL This is business. Killing me doesn’t change your situation. WOZNIAK If your boss wants to see his son, make him see the light. Or Enrique never will. RYDEL Take the money. Deliver Enrique. That's the only deal you're going to get. WOZNIAK Then we don’t have a deal. BARISTA Large Kahlua cappuccino for Tess? Large Kahlua cappuccino for Tess? TESS Lucky guess. RAMSEY Hardly. Routines are easy to analyze. It's all data. Life is much more predictable than people think. TESS I like to keep things fresh. RAMSEY I'm here to help. Have a seat. TESS Does that seem likely to you? RAMSEY I have a lot of strings in my hand. All I have to do is pick one to pull. Or, I can leave it alone and you go back to worrying about little things like the housing market. TESS Doesn't seem to help. RAMSEY Shame. Losing the house can't help you in court. TESS You offering to take care of my ex? RAMSEY I'm offering to take care of you. To the tune of “name your price”. I want to know where Enrique is. And I won't hurt any of your friends past what they'll wake up from. TESS Unfortunately, I can't promise the same. RAMSEY Officer Nazario, all you have to promise is to empty my bank account. KAREN Your turn to babysit. Lucky you. TUFO I can think of worse places to be. LOMAN Yo, you're late. TUFO I miss anything? LOMAN Well, sleeping beauty's been knocked out most of the day. Karen ran out of snacks. KAREN Because you ate them all. LOMAN That's my cue. All right, bro. TUFO Anyway I can convince you to spend the night at your cousin's with Adrian? KAREN You worried about me or him? TUFO We may be here longer than we thought. KAREN Then you’re buying takeout. KAREN No! No. TUFO Let her go. ENRIQUE Easy, loverboy. Don't be stupid. TUFO She has nothing to do with this. ENRIQUE Open the door. HARLEE We can't keep Enrique hidden for much longer. There's just too much heat around us. WOZNIAK Oh, is father will come around. Even if Enrique needs to persuade him. HARLEE “Woz”! WOZNIAK Where are you going? TUFO Enrique escaped! He can't be far! A block! Maybe less. ENRIQUE WOZNIAK You hit my car. ENRIQUE INTERN Hey Nate, you have a call from Anna Kate on line two. NATE What was the name again? INTERN Anna Kate. NATE Okay, thank you. This is Nate. WOZNIAK Hey, Nate. Anything interesting on the news today? MYERS Robert. You scared me. STAHL You know, lots of parents keep their children’s baby teeth. MYERS Doesn't look like a baby tooth. STAHL No. No, it doesn't. MYERS Whose is it? STAHL Miguel Zepeda, Harlee's ex. The man she murdered and man who’s murder she tried to put on me. Katie, this is it. This is the final piece. The last piece of evidence we need. MYERS So why haven't you used it? STAHL Because it needs to be found at the right time, in the right place. By the right person. MYERS That's not me anymore. Do you understand what happened today? STAHL You know, I found this in the grave. That’s that’s that’s kind of genius. Saperstein's grave. No one’s gonna think to to look there. Well, almost no one. MYERS You need to leave town, today. STAHL Listen to me. This proves Harlee killed Miguel! And if I leave now, she just gets away with it. She gets away with everything. MYERS When was the last time you saw Gina Romero? STAHL Don't do that. Don’t let her do that to you, Katie. She’ll get in your head. Harlee Santos distorts the truth. That’s what she does. She killed Gina. You’re not thinking clearly. MYERS I think I am. Your frame job’s over. Harlee's been cleared of that prostitute's murder. STAHL You know, one thing that I learned from Harlee is that truth, it can be manipulated, like a person, it could be used to betray us. And here you are, you’re harboring a wanted man. You’re lying to your superiors about, and faking evidence. And it would be a shame if you were exposed. MYERS I believed you. I was the only one who did. STAHL Then plant that tooth on Harlee. MYERS I can't. Harlee doesn't trust me. STAHL You can make this happen. MYERS No. No. This is over. You need help. STAHL What I need is my life back. MYERS Run, Robert. Disappear. STAHL I can't. MYERS Let me go. STAHL We were so close. We’re so close. MYERS Let me go. STAHL We were so close. MYERS Let me go! Please! HARLEE I didn't think you'd call. COLE Well, a girl gives me her number. Is your phone off? HARLEE I wasn't followed. COLE You wouldn't know. What about Wozniak? He still alive? HARLEE And kicking. Holed up with Enrique. COLE Strange feeling, being hunted. I used to look at the lights, now I look at the darkness between them. Like some unstoppable force coming closer with every breath. HARLEE I know the feeling. Lived with it for a long time. COLE Stahl? HARLEE And Ramsey. And others before him. Tried to intimidate me into making a mistake. Waiting for me to let my guard down. Sometimes I want to run, too. COLE What keeps you here? HARLEE I won't let them win. COLE You know something, Detective Santos? You're singular. HARLEE You could have left. What kept you here? You're stronger than you think, Cole. You made a choice when you gave me that lead on the Sunrise Cafe. You wanted justice for your partner. And want to do things right. But I can't do it alone. COLE Okay. Okay. If you still want my help, I'll come forward. HARLEE They might not give you a deal. COLE Doesn't matter. There's no immunity from Jordan Ramsey. But that doesn't mean that I have to let him win. So, what's the play? HARLEE Strike quickly, catch him off guard. COLE You can't count on a jury. I mean, even with my testimony, he'll find a way out. He has…he has contacts everywhere. HARLEE He won't get to use them. Not if it's all done in the open. We need to do this in public. WOZNIAK Try that again, and I'll introduce you to a shell from this gun. Daddy doesn’t want you back. Hurts, doesn't it? Guess what? I don't want you either. So, don't give me a reason to send you into the abyss. Here's a preview. NATE You remembered Jay was a realtor. WOZNIAK I'm a good listener. NATE No, you're not. You just needed something. WOZNIAK I'm being set up, Nate. I'm not a criminal. NATE Yeah, maybe not today. If it's hard to hear, it must resonate. WOZNIAK It's hard to hear because it's you saying it. NATE What do you expect, dad? Nothing changes. You send us out of town and you say “that’s a good day’s work”. But why not choose differently? WOZNIAK I don't have control over this. I'm not three steps ahead. I I I I don’t even have my pieces all on the board. NATE So, stop playing the game, dad. Just stop. Here. It’s an Op-Ed I'm working on. Let me know if you want to comment. WOZNIAK "My father was a police officer as long as I can remember. Now, I'm not sure what he is." Nate. NATE I'll submit anonymously. I'm gonna go check on mom. WOZNIAK Tell her that I love her. And I'm sorry. Maybe add a little poetry to it. NATE You know what, dad? Whatever's going on right now, it's gonna come down to two choices – you either do the right thing, or you do something else. WOZNIAK Black and white is a lazy way to see the world. NATE You've always been a hard worker. VERCO This could easily backfire. You are already under heavy scrutiny. HARLEE That's why I need to explain everything on record. VERCO Detective, you've just been cleared of murder, your boss is a wanted man. Do you think right now might be a good time to keep a low profile? HARLEE I have a witness who can help bring down Jordan Ramsey. VERCO Does this witness have a name? HARLEE Not until they testify in front of the commission on police corruption. VERCO What commission is that? HARLEE The one you're pitching to your boss. VERCO Top brass don't take a piss without knowing the details. HARLEE You have a rat. I give this witness's name, they're dead. VERCO Even if I was inclined to help, this is more than I can deliver. HARLEE Then tell them I want to testify. VERCO They are going ask real questions. You’re going to be in real legal jeopardy if you do that. HARLEE I already have a target on my back. I'm not stopping. VERCO I'll make a few calls. HARLEE I need you to make a few more. I need you to broker a trade with the Feds for a wanted cartel member. VERCO Ha, ha! In exchange for what? HARLEE No blow back. No questions asked. VERCO Right. Tell Wozniak I say hi. HARLEE Enrique Ortiz back in custody is a win-win. Just see this through with us. VERCO Like I said. I will make a few calls. Detective, I hope you know what you're doing. HARLEE Not as much as I do. WOZNIAK See? I'm not alone. TESS My first day, what was the lesson? Two is better than one. WOZNIAK And a crew is better than two, do you remember that? TESS That’s why I'm staying. WOZNIAK There’s a manhunt for me. Just me. If this place gets raided, I'm done. But I'm not bringing you down with me. That's an order. TESS Yes, Lieutenant. Okay. ANNA KATE "My father was a police officer as long as I can remember." "Now, I'm not sure what he is. I see the same blues, the same badge, but I have no sense of what they mean to him, if anything." He always did have a way with words. WOZNIAK He must get it from mom. Because right now the only words I can think to say are ANNA KATE Ones you don't need to say. WOZNIAK I've tried to save you so many times. Every case, every girl in trouble. ANNA KATE I know. WOZNIAK Drugs on the playgrounds. Harlee. Cristina. It's all you. ANNA KATE No, dad. It's you. WOZNIAK I can't lose you again. ANNA KATE You're never going to lose me. But you need to find yourself. "My father was a police officer as long as I can remember". WOZNIAK Harlee? HARLEE I think Verco went for the Enrique deal. Though to be honest, I'm not sure why you did. WOZNIAK It just seemed like the right thing to do. HARLEE You're full of surprises. How are you holding up? HARLEE “Woz”? WOZNIAK I'm here. I'm here. HARLEE I think I may have a plan to handle Ramsey through official channels. Yeah. Get some rest. I'll pick you up in the morning. Cristina? Cristina. STAHL There's, uh, there’s only one conclusion I can draw from the evidence at hand, Harlee - you're untouchable. You see, you lie and con your way through our partnership, you heist millions of dollars out from under my nose. You murder your ex- boyfriend. In this room. And I can’t get you for it. You let Saperstein die, you deceive your own daughter. No punishment. HARLEE Is that why you’re doing all this? Penance? STAHL Harlee, how many times do I have to tell you? You will never be healed if you don’t face your transgressions. HARLEE Gina deserved a better ending. STAHL Yeah, Gina deserved a better ending. Gina deserved a better life. She had a pure heart in that used up body. And yet you, you’re still breathing air. Doesn't seem fair. HARLEE Nothing is. STAHL What do you know about it?! You don’t know what it is to lose something that you want. You’ve never experienced it. And don't tell me about your boyfriend because you wanted to want him. I'm amazed he ever believed you. HARLEE You know who else believed me? Gail Baker. The F.B.I. knows that you're back. They're coming for you. And they’ll be after you. Not even Katie Myers can't stop them. STAHL Yeah, she turned on me. I guess we're all out of witty banter. The first one’s for you, and the next one’s for me. HARLEE No one has to die tonight. STAHL Don’t you get it? We were always meant to be connected. This was inevitable. HARLEE You're right. It was. Listen to me. Because I owe you this much - I'm a better person because of you. And I'm a better mother now because of you. You you have changed me. STAHL We’ve changed each other. HARLEE When I have a choice between what's right, and what's easy, I I think of you. I'm a better person because I met you. STAHL Harlee, you can’t even look at me. HARLEE That’s because I see my reflection in your eyes. I see how you see me. Wasted potential. Sullied, dirty. I feel it. Please. Please. No more blood. STAHL This is different. It’s going to be okay. This is gonna clean everything away. This is my last gift. HARLEE Stahl, wait! CRISTINA Hi, mom. HARLEE Hi, sweetheart. How was rehearsal? CRISTINA Fine. Someone was out of tune. I had fun with Espada though. STAHL She'll never forget this mess. HARLEE Stahl. Just walk out of here. I will let you go. STAHL No, Harlee. I won’t have that. I won’t have you letting me go. CRISTINA Sorry, forgot I owed you a hug. Don't hesitate. HARLEE Cristina, get behind the wall. CRISTINA Mom. HARLEE Now. STAHL HARLEE Don't move. CRISTINA Is he dead? STAHL I'm glad it was you. CRISTINA Mom, is he dead? HARLEE Yes. CRISTINA Mom, what are we gonna do? HARLEE We call the police. Don’t move. Back. OPERATOR 911 Nine-one-one operator, what's your emergency? HARLEE My name Detective Harlee Santos, I'm an off-duty police officer. I just shot and killed an intruder in my home. LOMAN You good? HARLEE No, but I'm a step closer. LOMAN I was listening to the scanner. Keeping tabs, seeing if they had any leads on the search for “Woz”. HARLEE And you heard this address? LOMAN No. Apartment in Greenpoint. Homicide. Black woman, thirties, identified as an F.B.I. agent. No doubt he was coming for you. HARLEE I got that feeling. LOMAN There's no gray here. Stahl came into your apartment with nothing to lose. HARLEE He was never walking out. LOMAN Good. Just so we understand. You did the right thing. HARLEE Cristina, you ready? ESPADA All right, I’ll call you back. I just spent the last ten minutes trying to convince “Woz” not to come over here. HARLEE Baby, get in the car. Get in the car. CRISTINA I'm okay. HARLEE I know. And I'm sure you have a lot of questions. CRISTINA It's over. He can't hurt you anymore. HARLEE Baby, I'm so sorry. CRISTINA No, mom. I am sorry. Okay? I’m sorry for doubting you. For making it so hard for you to protect me. HARLEE It wasn’t fair that I put you in danger in the first place. CRISTINA Mom, I need you to listen to me. And believe what I tell you. This is not your fault. None of this is your fault. HARLEE Baby, I wish that were true. CRISTINA It is. Believe it. Accept it. And move on. You understand? Good. You take the bathroom first. I’m gonna unpack. Go.
