ADRIAN AYRES BAKER BIANCHI CAMPAIGN_MANAGER CAPTAIN_MCMANUS CRISTINA ESPADA FEMALE_NEWS_ANCHOR FEMALE_NEWS_READER FEMALE_OPERATOR HARLEE INTERNAL_AFFAIRS_OFFICER LOMAN MALE_OFFICER NATE PEOPLE_IN_HOTEL_HALLWAY ROBERT STAHL TESS TUFO VERCO WOZNIAK HARLEE Previously on Shades of Blue. WOZNIAK I'll do anything for Julia. Don't make me choose. VERCO Tom Verco, Internal Affairs. Keep up the good work. WOZNIAK I saw the Feds at the dock. AYRES Feds? WOZNIAK I wanna make sure that they don't get you. NATE Sorry, Dad. BIANCHI Don't find yourself at Wozniak's house tonight. AYRES You better not miss. BIANCHI Say something nice at his funeral. WOZNIAK The assassination attempt, it was staged. She knew it was gonna happen. And the shooting at my house that put my son in the hospital. HARLEE I killed Miguel. He threatened me, he threatened Cristina, and I snapped his neck. HARLEE Stahl knows. Caddie helped me bury Miguel. STAHL Brought some more. HARLEE My best friend got killed because of me. STAHL If you thought I was watching you before, you're not gonna believe how close I'm gonna get now. ROBERT Robert. Your badge. STAHL Your secrets have poisoned you, but soon I'm gonna heal you. HARLEE We still have that chore to do tonight. WOZNIAK It's handled. I have your back. HARLEE Where did you put the body? WOZNIAK Where we used to take Cristina. HARLEE That place is too good for Miguel. FEMALE OPERATOR Nine-one-one what's your emergency? STAHL Yeah, uh, I'd like to report something strange on the old abandoned Greenbelt campsite. FEMALE OPERATOR Is it an emergency? STAHL I think it's a dead body. I was hiking, my, my dog started barking next to this metal container. FEMALE OPERATOR May I ask what is your name, sir? LOMAN You think Wozniak will get the nod if Ayres becomes Mayor? HARLEE Nod for what? LOMAN Police commissioner. HARLEE I don't think he has political ambitions. CRISTINA Mom? HARLEE I'll be up in a second. What's wrong, Cristina? Why aren't you in school? CRISTINA Um, he's dead. HARLEE Who's dead? CRISTINA My dad. HARLEE What? You can't know that. CRISTINA No, grandma Lorena, um, had to go to the morgue. HARLEE But that just means they don't know it's him. He's a missing person and they found a John Doe that fits his, his general description. CRISTINA No, no, he, um, he had to get surgery when he broke his leg, and there were screws with serial numbers. HARLEE When did they find him? AYRES When we started this campaign, no one thought we stood a chance. To those who said it was a waste of time, I said investing in your city's future never is. TUFO Yeah, she always did have a way with words. ESPADA Yeah, but not the ones you could say on television. WOZNIAK Putting taxpayers' money to good use? TESS Having friends in high places should come with some perks. WOZNIAK She hasn't won yet. ESPADA Don't jinx it. WOZNIAK We've had too many distractions lately. I don't care what happens in City Hall, the real work gets done by us on the streets. AYRES And I'm here to say that every vote counts. So get out and vote, take your husband, your wife, your parents, neighbors, friends. VERCO Hmm. HARLEE They found Miguel. An anonymous hiker early this morning. WOZNIAK Wha- How did they ID him so fast? HARLEE He had an orthopedic screw. Must've broke his leg when he was in prison. WOZNIAK I wish we burned Miguel in Raul's oven before they turned off the gas. HARLEE You dumped him at an abandoned campsite which should've been fine. WOZNIAK So they found him, or part of him. So what? Just means he's dead. It's not gonna come anywhere near you. It's away from Saperstein. HARLEE Stahl knows. WOZNIAK Stahl suspects. The lye dissolved any evidence linking you to the body. HARLEE Someone else could put it together. Miguel's mother knew that I threatened him. Do you think that he told her that I paid him off? WOZNIAK Listen to me, you are not on the list of suspects. Miguel just got out of prison, he's a career criminal. Just stay focused, all right? This is not gonna come back to us. VERCO Hi, I need a team to execute a warrant search? It's an open homicide involving a police officer. HARLEE Should've never entangled you in this mess. WOZNIAK I entangled myself ten years ago. And I don't regret a single day of it. I would do. Go away! VERCO Hey, Detective Santos, can I please have a conversation with you in the interrogation room? WOZNIAK HARLEE We're in the middle of something. VERCO It's politely phrased but it wasn't a request. WOZNIAK Never is with you. VERCO You can come with me voluntarily and answer a few questions, or you can both hand over your badges right now. Refusing an Internal Affairs interview is cause for immediate suspension. You know that, Lieutenant. WOZNIAK You know what they say about gamblers? It's not the winning they're addicted to winning, it's the losing. VERCO I've a few questions for you as well, Lieutenant. I believe you're both intimately acquainted with the recently deceased Miguel Zepeda. VERCO I know it's been a rough few days for you. But certain evidence has come to my attention that I can't ignore. VERCO Has this man ever assaulted you? HARLEE Does punching-my-face-in count? VERCO In most states. At what point did Miguel's habit of punching-your-face-in abate? HARLEE When his habit of boosting cars relocated him. VERCO Right. Six-year stretch on a Grand Theft Auto, right back in for a homicide a month after he was released. HARLEE Sad story. VERCO Yeah. HARLEE And a common one. VERCO Lieutenant Wozniak was the investigating officer on that homicide, about the time you joined up with his squad. HARLEE He's good at what he does. VERCO What's that? Send the wrong guy up? HARLEE I'm not confident he did. VERCO When Miguel's conviction was vacated you and Wozniak had a big problem. HARLEE How so? VERCO Guy spent almost a decade in a cage. You don't think Miguel he comes out with a major axe to grind? HARLEE That man took a part of me that I will never get back. Dwelling on it won't accomplish anything. So I decided a long time ago to never let him steal another moment of my life. VERCO You never spoke in person after his exoneration? HARLEE I had no reason to. VERCO You had one. Yeah. INTERNAL AFFAIRS OFFICER We found something. VERCO In the garage? INTERNAL AFFAIRS OFFICER Along with a bag of lye. VERCO Back in a blink. VERCO If you've someplace to be, I can call and I can cancel for you. This could take a while. WOZNIAK I was thinking of exercising my civic duty. VERCO While they still let you vote? You know, felons? WOZNIAK I get it. VERCO Do you do much yard work, Lieutenant? WOZNIAK Enough to know when someone's beating around the bush. VERCO Because we found some tools in your garage so clean you'd think they'd never touched a speck of dirt. WOZNIAK As much as I'd love to sit around here all day and trade household tips. VERCO We found strands of hair in the drain on your garage floor. Long, black hair. Unless it's been down there a real long time, I think it's a safe bet they're not yours. WOZNIAK My dog has a great head of hair. VERCO All right, right, well, I guess we'll know soon enough. I mean, it's being analyzed right now. WOZNIAK Quick search warrant, good for you. VERCO Ah, just exercising my civic duty. VERCO The other night when Bianchi had gunmen hose down Wozniak's house. You heroically drove his son to the hospital. Yes? HARLEE I mean, slammed my foot on the pedal and made a few short turns. I don't know how heroic it is. VERCO Officers at the hospital discovered a shovel and a tarp in your trunk. HARLEE Like I told them. I chip in at the Brooklyn Community Garden. VERCO One of three things are gonna happen right now. You go down. Wozniak goes down. Or you both go down. It's in your hands. HARLEE You forgot option four. You keep running laps between us and we give you nothing. VERCO All your years grinding suspects into confessions, how many times did option four ever happen? VERCO Detective Loman. LOMAN What's all this? TESS Verco and his goons are sweating Woz and Harlee about something. LOMAN Something we need to worry about? TUFO I don't know. But Linda called. Said IA just ransacked their garage. BAKER Thanks. See you tomorrow. STAHL Field awareness one-o-one, "Not paying attention to your surroundings can lead to trouble." BAKER Not as much as violating the conditions of your suspension. STAHL I'm just doing a little shopping. How is my Julia Ayres investigation coming? BAKER It's not your investigation anymore, Robert. You know that. STAHL Taking down the next mayor-elect of New York City. A big bust like that could put a woman on the short list for Assistant Director. BAKER You were the one who stalked Harlee's teenage daughter. You can't come back from that. STAHL Unless it became clear that my actions were about exposing Harlee for who she truly is, and that she manipulated this whole situation to stop me from doing that. BAKER I gotta go. STAHL A woman's capable of murder, she's capable of just about anything, wouldn't you say? It turns out Harlee is a pretty scary ex-girlfriend. VERCO I know everything, Harlee. I, I know Miguel came to you angry, making demands. You knew he wouldn't leave you alone. Or your daughter. We'd do anything for our kids. HARLEE Sure. Like cook dinner. So if don’t have any more questions. VERCO Well, I have questions, questions seem to follow you everywhere you go, Detective. I have questions about Bianchi's abrupt ending. I left them unanswered. He took a shot at cops, after all. HARLEE And tried to kill an ADA. VERCO Self-defense. From one human being to another, I think you could claim the same thing, too. Self-defense. Justifiable homicide. But know that I have iron-clad forensics linking Wozniak to that body. If I don't hear the truth straight from your mouth, he's facing an obstruction charge. VERCO Well, free to go. As soon as you confirm Harlee's story. WOZNIAK I have four detectives who can testify that I've cooperated with you for three hours. I'm going home. If you want to waste more of my time, schedule a circle jerk with my union rep. VERCO Give me a minute, Lieutenant. "Miguel came at Harlee. She defended herself, should've called nine-one-one. Instead she panicked and hid the body. When she thought it was safe, she moved the remains and used lye to accelerate nature. You wanted to help after the fact, she refused." I'm not exactly buying the last part, but you know, I'll take it with the rest. WOZNIAK Swing and a miss. Nice playing with you. VERCO If you confirm that Harlee borrowed your tools, I will speak to the DA about mitigating circumstances. Manslaughter, at worst. She's looking at, uh, maybe a dime, less with good behavior. The offer ends the moment you step outside that door. Lieutenant. WOZNIAK Of course it does. 'Cause that's the moment your bluff collapses. VERCO That campsite where they found what's left of Miguel? Harlee said you used to take Cristina there when she was little to look at the stars. What can I tell you? The lady finally cracked. Pressure of the last few days. Can you blame her? WOZNIAK Do yourself a favor. When I crack, run. WOZNIAK Hey. HARLEE You cleaned the tools you used at your house? WOZNIAK Cleaning out the drain must have slipped my mind once my son was shot. WOZNIAK Verco said you cracked. HARLEE What a coincidence. He told me you did. WOZNIAK You didn't say anything to him? HARLEE Zero. HARLEE What? WOZNIAK He knew the spot that I dumped Miguel was where we went camping with Cristina. HARLEE What-We- In my apartment Stahl. He must have ears in my house. He's our anonymous hiker, and sent the care package to Verco. WOZNIAK Pasty-ass-son-of-a-bitch, he's gotta go down. AYRES Because it's about you, about us. WOZNIAK I still need to weigh in on this election. HARLEE Have you talked to Julia at all since- WOZNIAK Hey, just focus on Stahl. You have to draw him in close. We're gonna get through this, I promise. STAHL This is Robert Stahl, leave a message. HARLEE I'm ready to give you what you want. AYRES I really don't know where this road leads. But I can promise you one thing. AYRES I will never forget the people who were with me from the beginning. You're the reason that I'm here. And I am, I am truly grateful. So, enjoy yourselves tonight, but not too much. Because hopefully, we're gonna have a lot of work to do, starting tomorrow morning. AYRES Hey. Glad you're here. I was afraid this party would be boring. WOZNIAK We need to talk. Alone. CAMPAIGN MANAGER Julia, WNBC only postponed five minutes. AYRES Can it wait? WOZNIAK No. AYRES You know, I got in to this race to bring up the issues, all the stuff we used to talk about during those endless stakeouts. And now. Here we are. WOZNIAK No thanks. AYRES Wow, that's gotta be a first. AYRES You know there are several hundred people out there throwing a party for me. So, what are we doing in here? WOZNIAK Bianchi said that there's more to the story behind the shooting. He died, I didn't get a chance to hear it. AYRES God, he was messing with your head. WOZNIAK There's nothing that I'm missing? AYRES Bianchi got what he deserved. Now come one, let's go out and eat those canapés I've paid way too much for. AYRES Wozniak lives by a code. If you violate his home, his family, he'll come after you. BIANCHI Are you saying. AYRES I'm saying you better not miss. WOZNIAK Tell me what I'm missing, Julia. AYRES That isn't what it sounds like. WOZNIAK Don't! AYRES Listen, I had to appease Bianchi, I had to. It was only meant to scare you off. Nobody was supposed to get hurt. Nobody. WOZNIAK You lie again, it's gonna be the last thing that you say to me. AYRES I had to protect myself. You were gonna let the feds take me down. WOZNIAK You did this. You, not me. AYRES You should have come to me. In the beginning. We could have found a way out. Together. WOZNIAK I was doing everything I could! I was risking everything! AYRES But you couldn't save both of us, could you? Harlee wouldn't let it go. I mean, come on, Matt, I always knew it was gonna come down to her or me. WOZNIAK She didn't make you do this. AYRES And somehow I knew it would end up being her. WOZNIAK I would rather die than betray you. I trusted you. I loved you. AYRES You still do. You still do. Even if you don't know why. This can stay between us. It's the best for everyone. For you. For Nate. We have all made mistakes. You know mine, I know yours. But we can all walk away from this. WOZNIAK It's tempting. It really is. AYRES It's the best way to go, Matt. WOZNIAK It's the easy way. FEMALE NEWS ANCHOR Late-breaking story on this election night. Recordings have surfaced between Mayoral candidate Julia Ayres and the recently-deceased mafia boss, Michael Bianchi. New York Ledger reporter Nate Wozniak broke the story. It alleges Julia Ayres worked with Bianchi to stage her own assassination attempt and to plan the attempted murder of NYPD officers. AYRES I guess Nate didn't trust you not to lose your nerve. WOZNIAK No. I didn't trust myself. I gave Nate the nod. Between the two of us, he's much braver than I. AYRES Why? Why didn't you just kill me? Why? WOZNIAK I don't know. AYRES Yes, you do. WOZNIAK Julia. Don't. Julia. AYRES I didn't, I didn't know! I didn't know that Nate was gonna be there. WOZNIAK There's other ways. Stop! AYRES If I had known any of it. WOZNIAK You can make a deal with the feds. AYRES Oh. WOZNIAK Okay? AYRES No, I can't live in a cage, Matt. WOZNIAK Yes, you can. You can survive. You'll. AYRES No. I've survived too much already. I'm so tired of surviving. I'm so tired. CAMPAIGN MANAGER Councilwoman? AYRES Don't make me face them, please. Don't make me face them. CAMPAIGN MANAGER Julia, we have a problem. AYRES Please, Matt. Please. Please forgive me. Please, Matt. CAMPAIGN MANAGER Councilwoman? AYRES Please. CAMPAIGN MANAGER Julia! FEMALE NEWS ANCHOR The votes have been cast and counted. Julia Ayres has been elected Mayor. AYRES I'm the Mayor of New York. PEOPLE IN HOTEL HALLWAY CAPTAIN MCMANUS Lieutenant? Matt. WOZNIAK I tried to stop her. She was too far away. CAPTAIN MCMANUS They waited to pronounce at the hospital. The chief is headed there now to release the news officially. WOZNIAK Julia's dead. CAPTAIN MCMANUS After hearing that tape, I suppose there was only one real likely outcome here. WOZNIAK Yeah. HARLEE I wasn't sure you were going to come. STAHL Well, you and a cryptic invitation, tough combination to resist. HARLEE Mm, I thought I was pretty clear. STAHL Gimme what I want? Longer list than you might imagine. HARLEE You and I both know what's at the top. STAHL Oh, you must be in a bad way to make that offer. HARLEE Well, you should know. You seem to have ears everywhere. How did you hack into my Wi-Fi? Cristina? STAHL I know that you have to be vigilant with home networks these days. There's all kinds of malware out there. HARLEE Well, server's down now. No keepsake recordings tonight. STAHL I sent an email to myself, Harlee. It said that I was meeting you here. Time, date, and location. Just in case you were planning on solving this problem the same way you solved Miguel. HARLEE This isn't about payback, okay? No gun. This is about me, asking you to make it go away. This is what you wanted. If it isn't, why hold on to the silver bullet? You must have a recording of everything Wozniak and I said here last night, that's enough to put me away for a very long time. But you didn't use it, because you don't want me to go away. You want me, right here, in front of you, needing you. STAHL If you want something from me, Harlee, then say what you mean. HARLEE I'm gonna go to prison for killing Miguel. But we both know you can stop that from happening. STAHL How exactly would I do that? HARLEE Help me put the body on someone else. STAHL And it's just that easy for you, huh? Frame someone else for murder? Ruin another life? HARLEE His life is already ruined. Like mine. So none of it matters. STAHL His? So you've already got someone in mind then? HARLEE Caddie. I don't know if you shot him up intentionally, or you gave him the drugs to do it himself, but you and I both know that his death is on you. That's how you found Saperstein's grave. STAHL Caddie's death falls at the feet of his own addiction. HARLEE Well, that's not a denial. TUFO Just walking through the door gave me the creeps. ESPADA Yeah, be careful not to touch any surfaces. Especially if there's a picture of Harlee nearby. TUFO This laptop is full of 'em. This FBI guy has a real stalker vibe. STAHL Framing a man for murder requires evidence. HARLEE I've got that covered. After I found Caddie's body, I searched his place. STAHL For any dirt that might come back on you? You're always looking out for number one, aren't you? HARLEE Says the guy who killed Caddie to gain control over me. He still had the boots that he wore to the cemetery. STAHL The chisel that made dental identification impossible. HARLEE Caddie was there for me. And if he could help me right now, he would. HARLEE So, where's this evidence? I assume you want me to place it somewhere it can be found, transfer any suspicion away from you. HARLEE That's exactly what needs to happen. TUFO Video file deleted. Let's get out of here, man. STAHL I get? HARLEE Whatever you want. Look, I know that you hate me just as much as you want me. That's why you dimed me out to Verco. So I would need you to save me. STAHL Maybe 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. HARLEE If it keeps our little secret between us, I'm willing to add to it. STAHL Once you go down this road, Harlee, there's no stopping. Be sure. HARLEE I've made my choice. HARLEE This is surrender. STAHL You forget how well I know you, Harlee. STAHL I accept your surrender. FEMALE NEWS READER The NYPD has confirmed that Mayor-Elect Ayres was declared dead at New York Presbyterian Hospital with what's been reported as a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Earlier tonight, the New York Ledger broke the news of a secret recording between Ayres and the recently deceased head of the Bianchi crime family. TESS Oh, my God. Woz, what happened? Did Julia really kill herself? Were you there? WOZNIAK I just drove past her block, Harlee's light is still on. LOMAN Yeah, she hasn't contacted us yet. WOZNIAK Well, how long does it take to make a guy pass out? TESS She's not answering her phone. LOMAN Whoa, whoa, whoa, we can't just storm in. Look, if Stahl makes us, this whole thing's a bust. That's why we parked out of sight. TESS Who said anything about storming in? WOZNIAK Harlee? Harlee? LOMAN She didn't get his finger prints on it. We don't have anything to plant at the crime scene. Nothing at the camp site. WOZNIAK This is the only scene I'm concerned about. TESS Her clothes are missing. STAHL I was wondering when you were gonna come out of it. You okay? You feel sick? STAHL I'll get you some water. HARLEE What did you do to me? STAHL Your clothes got a little dirty when I moved you. I would never take advantage like that. And you've always looked great in black. HARLEE They're gonna come looking for me. STAHL Come on. Harlee, take it. Drugs dehydrate you. Harlee, you were the one with the loaded syringe. Not me. I just followed your lead. Now, come on, get a drink. STAHL Here we go. Here we go. Okay, good. Good girl. HARLEE Where are we? STAHL It's nice, right? The owner bought this as a, uh, investment property. Mostly vacation rentals now. I tell you, when the season's over, this place is so quiet and solitary. HARLEE Wozniak knew I was meeting you. STAHL Harlee, you had a lot of heat coming down on you from Internal Affairs. Pending DNA results, it was just a matter of time. I think Wozniak will understand why you ran. HARLEE And left my daughter behind? STAHL I know, I know that was hard. But it's better that she's abandoned than living some life on the run. Right now she has a chance at a good life. And I think that's noble, Harlee, that's a noble sacrifice. I admire that. That's the kind of loving mother I always knew you were. TESS Espada's back at the precinct scanning through traffic cam footage. He'll let us know when he's got a hit. TUFO There's a city-wide APB out on her car. State Police and Highway Patrol are on lookout as well. WOZNIAK It's been hours, they could be anywhere. Packed her clothes, car is gone. TESS But, Woz, she, she would never run. She would never do that- WOZNIAK He's trying to make it look like she did. I mean, he needs a place that's remote. See, he's thinking on the fly, so he's probably gonna want something that's familiar to him. TUFO So we'll pull his financials and see if has any real estate nearby. LOMAN What makes you so sure he, he took her somewhere? WOZNIAK 'Cause I don't think he wants to kill her. He wants her all for himself first. VERCO Hey, everybody. Did I miss roll call? You know, if you're planning to escape, Lieutenant, I suggest losing the entourage. TESS Harlee is missing. VERCO Probably figured the DNA results would be conclusive and decided to run. But we will find her. For now, I'm gonna have to detain you, Lieutenant. LOMAN He's not going anywhere. VERCO Finally drank the Kool-Aid, I see. You guys are hell-bent on sharing a cell block, huh? WOZNIAK You a quick draw, Detective? VERCO Maybe I was wrong about the entourage. WOZNIAK If you want to solve Miguel Zepeda's murder, look into Robert Stahl, he's a former FBI agent. He's obsessed with Harlee. TESS He killed Zepeda and now he has her. VERCO And then he washed his tools in your garage? WOZNIAK He needed me out of the way. He knows I'd do anything to get Harlee. VERCO So, I should just take you at your word for it, after all you've been so stand-up with me, right? TUFO If you did five minutes of actual detective work, you wouldn't have to take anyone's word for it. WOZNIAK You get in the way of us finding Harlee, one of your Internal Affairs cronies is finally gonna get the chance to arrest me for what I'd do to you. HARLEE Hard to eat with no hands. STAHL Last time your hands were free, you tried to jab a needle in me. Mm... HARLEE Seriously? STAHL Remember your scenario training, Harlee. Survival first. Open up. HARLEE No! STAHL Fine. Suit yourself. You'll get hungry eventually. HARLEE Woz and Linda are Cristina's guardians if something happens to me. If Miguel's murder gets put on him- STAHL I know that Cristina is the most important thing in your life, Harlee. I'll always look out for her. I promise. HARLEE I guess that means we're not going far then? How does this end? Robert? STAHL Well, if you are not gonna eat, you should rest. Close your eyes for a while. HARLEE Wait. I think I am a little hungry. STAHL Now, that's my girl. Here we go. Open. Mm. Oh! Sorry. Whoops. I'm new at this. Well, let's try that again. MALE OFFICER Found this under his bed. And a pair of muddy boots in the closet. VERCO Have CSU dust for fingerprints and check for our victim's DNA. Tony? Put out a BOLO on FBI Agent Robert Stahl. He's to be considered armed, dangerous and likely holding a hostage. WOZNIAK Any luck with the real estate? TESS No dice. Stahl doesn't own any property outside of the city. ESPADA Woz. Woz, you got any idea what the hell Gail Baker is doing in your office? BAKER How sure are you that Stahl has her? WOZNIAK You don't have time to cover your ass, Gail. BAKER I heard Harlee was a person of interest in a homicide, Matt. WOZNIAK From who, Stahl? Harlee wouldn't go anywhere without Cristina. You know that. BAKER I can assign an HRT team to assist in the search. WOZNIAK You run deep background checks on your employees, correct? Does Stahl have any property? BAKER Not that I'm aware of. WOZNIAK What about his dead partner? BAKER You want me to run every property owned by agents in the New York, Matt? WOZNIAK Gail, you're too good at your job not to know that Stahl was screwing his partner's wife while he was undercover. BAKER If I had known that, he would've been gone a long time ago. WOZNIAK You've been doing damage control for him since you picked me up! BAKER I'd check your sources on that, Matt. WOZNIAK You've been feeding information to Internal Affairs so one of us gets pinched, or Stahl's investigation blows up, and you can cut him loose! I'm not gonna let you do the same thing to Harlee. Where was Stahl screwing his mistress? BAKER They met somewhere upstate. It was her place. That's all I know. WOZNIAK Do you have an address? BAKER I can get it. You wore a wire. Gave me enough evidence to convince the higher ups this wasn't a colossal waste of time. That terminates your obligations to the bureau, Matt. I wish I could say congratulations. STAHL Oh, God, I love this time of year. Oh, the smell of cedar. My father taught me the trick to starting a good fire is you gotta split the wood first. The cracks expose it to heat. STAHL You ever watched a moth circle around a flame, Harlee? It's pure instinct. It's a desire that's so consuming you just cannot fight it with logic or reason. Why would you want to? It's a beautiful thing, just kinda dancing on the edges of survival. STAHL The danger, the pain, none of that matters. Doesn't mean anything. And once you get close enough, actually feel the heat burning, when you realize it's been your entire purpose. And that's why you don't let go. That's why you push yourself further into the flame, giving up all resistance. Consumed entirely. Never more alive. STAHL You, you've got goosebumps. Now we're both getting warmer. STAHL Oh, Harlee, all I ever wanted to do was help you. HARLEE You said you were gonna heal me. STAHL I tried, you weren't ready. HARLEE I am now. Prove it. If you really love me. Save me. STAHL Damn it, Harlee! HARLEE Help me. STAHL Why would you do this to yourself? HARLEE Help me. STAHL I can't, I can't stop it. HARLEE Help me! I need you. Help me! STAHL That's better. If you thought I was gonna let you go that easily Harlee. HARLEE And if you thought I would ever let you touch me, you're crazier than you seem. WOZNIAK We've got a location. Let's go get our girl. LOMAN Where is she? WOZNIAK It's a drive. ADRIAN Lieutenant, I need to talk to you. WOZNIAK Adrian, I can't talk right now. I have an emergency. ADRIAN Quince took my mom. You were supposed to keep her safe. WOZNIAK All right, look, look, go upstairs, talk to anybody in a uniform, okay? They'll help you. TUFO Come on, Woz, we gotta go. WOZNIAK We'll get your mom back I promise. ADRIAN I'm sorry. TUFO Woz! HARLEE Somebody! TUFO We need medics here! ESPADA Hold on, boss. Hold on. TESS Oh, my God, don't, don't talk! TESS Don't try to talk, okay? ESPADA Stay with us! ESPADA Come on, boss, stay awake!
