HARLEE You called her by my name. What profile does that fit? STAHL Obsession. HARLEE Wozniak isn't the informant. I am. TUFO I have lost track of what it means to wear that. I need some time away. WOZNIAK Donnie's dead. HARLEE It was self-defense. We all have to carry our own sins. HARLEE Or bury them. STAHL Tell me what fifty-seven four-f has to do with Detective Saperstein. MOLLY You botched this operation, Agent Stahl, and then you have sex with me, already knowing I'd be your fall guy. STAHL We stick to the assignment. Julia Ayres got my partner killed. WOZNIAK And Bianchi took it as a personal challenge. There's gonna be blood. BIANCHI They say, there's a bullet waiting for us all. You tell Ayres, I can call hers in. AYRES You forced me to make an enemy tonight. HARLEE You and I have different priorities. AYRES Well, good luck to you, Harlee. HARLEE Julia? Julia, are you hit? AYRES HARLEE nypd!

HARLEE Yeah. Me too. AYRES Yes, come in. AUSTIN The press pool is gathering. Are you sure you don't need anything else, ma'am? AYRES No, I'm fine, Austin. Just, uh, put those there and tell 'em we'll be down in five. Thank you. AYRES Yeah. I think we should keep you in the blue family. Well, you can't go on camera with blood on you. HARLEE I came here as your friend, all right? Not as a stage prop. AYRES Like it or not, this is the biggest story in New York. Hell, it's even gone national. Either you address the media tonight, or you address them on your front stoop tomorrow. It's your choice. PEOPLE IN HOSPITAL TUFO Hey! I got a call my brother is here. Wallace Tufo. NURSE You're the NYPD officer? TUFO Yeah, that's me. How bad is he? TUFO Who did this? WALLACE Forget about it. TUFO No, I get a call that the only family I got left is busted up in the hospital. I'm gonna find out who put him there. WALLACE Quince, shot caller on Astoria. TUFO Wallace, I left you alone for six hours and you're already back to running? WALLACE I had a debt to pay. Drive a car from here to there. Old lady runs a red, T-bones me. Car was hot, so I had to ditch it. Couple hours later, Quince and his boys find me. That's the last thing I remember. TUFO You've been out for one damn day. I stood up for you, Wallace. WALLACE WALLACE I owed the man. TUFO WALLACE He kept me safe on the inside. Protection ain't free. WALLACE Marcus, leave it be. TUFO I got an off-the-book situation. ESPADA You turned in your badge. Everything's off-the-books with you. TUFO We're carrying heavy in the A.M. ESPADA On who? TUFO Some son of a bitch that has it coming. And I need all the party favors. Can you hook me up? WOZNIAK A Jack Russell's a fine animal. Not the biggest, but they got a lot of spirit. You pit one of them against a Rottweiler or a German Shepherd, they'll fight to the death, just to be the alpha. ELENA Must be why Max took such a liking to you. You're both all balls, no brains. WOZNIAK I've been looking for your boyfriend. Went to his house, to his restaurant, to his clubs. Where is Mister Bianchi? ELENA You're him, aren't you? You're that crazy cop. I told him a war with the NYPD was, well not a good idea. ELENA He's been pretty good to me and he-- He took care of my dad, when he was sick. WOZNIAK I don't care. I don't care. I don't care. ELENA Do you mind if, um if I have a smoke? ELENA Ugh. These things will kill you. WOZNIAK Check the clip before you pull the trigger next time, sweetheart. ELENA Get off me! Get off! WOZNIAK Tell me! Where is he? ELENA I-I'm just a good lay to him, I'm nothing. WOZNIAK He almost killed a friend of mine tonight! Come on, one more lie. ELENA WOZNIAK Tell me one more lie! ELENA Italy! Italy! He's in Italy. He said he needed to lay low for a while. WOZNIAK The old country? That's what you're gonna go with? ELENA It's the truth. Whatever you want, I'll do it. Please. Please, no, please. WOZNIAK You're lucky I like dogs. MALE FBI AGENT 1 fbi! MALE FBI AGENTS Get on the ground! Drop it! On the ground now! On the ground! Let's go! Roll away! MALE FBI AGENT 1 All right, get him up! Move. STAHL ESPADA STAHL Looks like you're planning on giving somebody one heck of a wake-up call. Me, too. Detective Carlos Espada, I'm Robert Stahl, I'm with the FBI. You're under arrest. CADDIE Sorry I missed you. Leave a message. HARLEE Caddie, it's Harlee again. Don't disappear on me. Where are you? Call me as soon as you get this. NAVA I thought we were past the walk of shame phase. HARLEE No, I just have to go debrief Captain McManus. this morning. NAVA I, uh, felt like you were having bad dreams. HARLEE You're not ready to hear my nightmares. NAVA Try me. HARLEE I'm not ready to tell you. NAVA After a shooting, it's normal to have a certain amount of PTSD. HARLEE This isn't the first time I've fired my weapon. NAVA First time you killed someone. PEOPLE AT STATION ESPADA Can we speed this up, man? I'd like to make my phone call. STAHL Uh, may take be a while, Detective. Sunday shift. Limited resources. You understand. ESPADA Hey, no problem. I'm happy to reschedule. STAHL Well, I'm afraid I can't help you there, Detective. You are, uh, welcome to use mine, if you want. NATE You assaulted a superior officer with pocket change? TESS A roll of quarters balled up in your fists inflicts some serious hurt. NATE Uh, can we go back and start with how you joined the unit? TESS That is how I joined the unit. But you're not interested in all that, you're here to interview our hero cop. NATE NATE I'm interested in everybody. A former member of your unit is running for mayor and another member prevented her assassination. TESS And you're hoping being the boss's son gets you an exclusive. NATE I'm hoping you finish your story. TESS Well, I'd just earned my gold shield and the Manhattan North Homicide unit was, uh, needing some estrogen. Hold on. Detective Santos' desk. No, no, no. She's still not back yet. I-I don't know. Anyway, this first grade detective offered to take me under his wing, although he was more tormentor than mentor. Then when the jokes escalated to ass grabbing, I got fed up, and I filed a sexual harassment complaint. Up went the blue wall, and fast. HARLEE Tess, did you take an incoming call for me? TESS Only from every major news outlet from here to Tokyo. NATE Back at work less than twelve hours after taking out an assassin. That is impressive. HARLEE Nate. Are you here for your dad? NATE Sort of, except he doesn't know it yet. Is the old man working this weekend? HARLEE Oh, you could have solved that mystery with one phone call. NATE I'm writing a piece for the Post. I was actually hoping you'd sit down with me for an interview. HARLEE Exactly what I was trying to avoid. NATE Gotta warn you, I can be tenacious. HARLEE Yeah. Last name Wozniak. HARLEE Seriously? Do you not watch the news? I got a little sidetracked last night. ESPADA I didn't realize you were still on retainer with this jackoff. HARLEE Espada? How did you get this phone? Where are you? TESS Hey, wanna hear this or not? NATE Mm, edge of my seat. TESS So one night, he tries to unbutton my jeans. NATE And you introduced him to a fist full of Washingtons. TESS And I felt pretty damn good about it, too. Until I was suspended without pay pending an official review. NATE Something wrong? TESS And then one night, I, uh, was sitting in my apartment stewing and there's a knock at the door. And I had never met your dad before but I'd heard about him, and he'd heard about me now. And apparently, I was the kind of stubborn bitch he was looking for. HARLEE When was the last time you saw Tufo? CHURCH CHOIR TUFO A heavily connected dealer in Queens. LOMAN Who tuned-up your brother. TUFO Yeah, put him in the Intensive Care Unit, and I need to have a conversation with the man. LOMAN Are we arresting him after this "conversation?" TUFO Well, God knows what kind of illegal activity we'll find on the premises. LOMAN So we wait till tomorrow, go in with a warrant. TUFO Wallace is on parole. They can put him back in just for associating. I mean, normally, I'd blaze in with the crew, except there ain't no crew. And Espada's MIA. LOMAN What constitutes "associating?" TUFO Mike, this is personal. This is family. This is also dangerous and I need backup. Now, I'm asking for your help. Right now. All right? Right now. LOMAN AYRES I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the bravery of the NYPD, and in particular, to Detective Harlee Santos, whose courage under fire saved my life and the lives of countless others. BAKER Over a three-point bump in online polls and rising. STAHL Well, we'll see what kind of figure she cuts doing a perp walk on the eleven o'clock news. BAKER Every step Ayres takes closer to the Mayor's office makes the burden of proof that much higher. STAHL In twelve hours, we should have it straight from her mouth. BAKER You're confident that Wozniak will finally surrender? STAHL Well, if not, our sad little guest over there will be processed and moved to MCC. BAKER Putting a cop in Metro, you're throwing him in a shark tank. STAHL Let him get eaten. We'll see how long Wozniak's crew stands by him. WOZNIAK Where's Stahl keeping him? HARLEE Downtown. The FBI detention center. It had to be the assassination attempt. He felt Julia slipping away and he reacted by picking up Espada. WOZNIAK WOZNIAK I should've finished him off when I had my hands around his throat. HARLEE Do we tell the crew? WOZNIAK Get them more pissed off and paranoid than they already are? Let me get Espada first. HARLEE You know what that's gonna take? Stringing Stahl along wasn't gonna work forever. TESS Hey. Tufo's not answering. Do you think he's hot enough to move against this Quince guy on his own? HARLEE Well, his brother's lying in Mercy with a cerebral edema. And he asked Espada for enough weapons to fuel a small revolution. WOZNIAK You know what? Arrest the dealer before Tufo gets to him. Okay? WOZNIAK Hey, Nate! Hey, you okay? What happened? NATE Nothing. I mean, I'm working. WOZNIAK Is your mom all right? NATE She's fine, Dad. I'm writing a freelance on your unit, how Councilwoman Ayres' time here saved her life. Think I can get an interview? WOZNIAK You know, it's not that I'd like to do more. But I-I just can't do it right now, I can't. Later? Scumbags don't keep banker's hours. NATE My next tattoo. TESS What, are we gonna pretend we're selling Girl Scout cookies? HARLEE We'd be better if we were in uniform. TESS I'd prefer Espada's arsenal. Where is he? HARLEE Rough night, rougher morning. He's in no condition to help anyone, including himself. TUFO We're NYPD! I'd listen to him, sweetheart. QUINCE You got the AK, Karen. Just smoke 'em. TESS Guns down! Now! HARLEE Police. On the floor! KAREN Put them down! TUFO We've already been through that part. QUINCE You're in no position to be laying out terms, Hero. Maybe you ain't noticed, but baby girl here is packing an automatic. Nineteen rounds per second. TUFO Yo, Loman. LOMAN Yeah. TUFO Baby girl blinks, you drop her ass first. HARLEE Easy, Tufo. LOMAN No need. Baby girl ain't gonna light-up a room full of cops with her little man watching, now is she? KAREN Adrian. Get to your room! HARLEE Look, I'm not telling anybody what to do. I prefer to lead by example. TESS Harlee, don't even think about it. HARLEE Now you've got a choice. HARLEE Let's think about what you do next. You can waste a bunch of cops. Assuming they don't waste you back, you spend the rest of your life in solitary. Or we can have a conversation. QUINCE Conversation is, his dumb ass brother wrecked my delivery car. Ditched a high value shipment. HARLEE Where is the car now? QUINCE Where you think? The ride was stolen. LOMAN Police impound. HARLE All right, well, the good news is we're police. What Why don't you let us help you out? QUINCE Can you be more specific, dollface? HARLEE We liberate the vehicle, deliver it to you, and his brother's debt is paid. Forever. LOMAN Did I have a stroke? Because it sounds like you promised to steal a car from NYPD for the banger who just tried to kill us? TUFO I say we place an anonymous call, make sure SWAT finds a pound of smack in Quince's bedroom. HARLEE And he implicates your brother for trafficking before the arrest report is filed. Is that what you want? TUFO I'm looking for payback. HARLEE And you thought you'd get it by banging through the door with no badge and a set of brass knuckles? TUFO Loman had a badge. I was an observer. LOMAN Wait, wait, wait. You turned in your shield? TUFO I'm taking some time to evaluate. HARLEE How's Day One working out? WOZNIAK Hey. I'm here to see Carlos Espada. I'm his attorney. STAHL Matt Wozniak, esquire. Could've at least worn a suit, Matt. WOZNIAK I wanna talk to him. Now! STAHL No, not here. There's no visitors here. Not until he's three hots and a cot at Metro. This is what happens when you don't play ball with me. The rest of the team gets to pay for your errors. WOZNIAK He doesn't know anything about Julia. You're drilling a dry hole. But I'm sure you're used to that by now. STAHL I'm not even looking for anything from him. I'm collecting on your debt. So at nine a.m. tomorrow, Detective Carlos Espada of the sixty-fourth precinct is going to be arraigned in U.S. District Court. And after that, it's out of both of our hands. So you should start looking at group rates on a really good lawyer. WOZNIAK Yeah, and you're never gonna get who you're really after. STAHL I'm not getting her now. So, that's it, it's over. I know it's hard playing a martyr when you're inflicting all this damage on everybody around you. So go ahead, you protect one lousy whore for the mob. Or you wear the wire. You get Councilwoman Ayres on record. And you deliver it to me, not in a week, not in a month, but soon enough for me to stop Espada's arraignment. HARLEE Your brother really did a number on this. TUFO Yeah, wasn't his fault, some senior lady ran a light. HARLEE I'm thinking Tess shows up here in about an hour with a low cut blouse, bats her eyes at our friend at the gate and then asks for help with a vehicle on the other side of the lot. TUFO And when Officer Slick busts a move, I drive the Civic through the exit. HARLEE Close. I drive it out. Then I drop it off with you and Loman at the precinct. And then you can take it to Quince. TUFO Whoa, it's my brother. Just because you crashed Quince's crib does not mean you get to call the plays. I mean, as far as I'm concerned, you can head back to the bench. HARLEE Okay, coach, but unless you know how to replace a distributor cap on a ninety-six Civic, this engine's not turning over. TUFO That's gonna make up for selling out the people that risk their lives for you every damned day. HARLEE All I've ever cared about is protecting this family. Look, I shouldn't have lied to you. And I'm sorry. But consider one thing. TUFO Oh, this should be good. HARLEE If I had not crashed Quince's, you'd be a Jackson Pollack all over his wall right now. TUFO I'll go find you that distributor cap. WOZNIAK Good news, they got a gluten free option on the menu. ESPADA Just took a dump in front of two meth heads and you're over here cracking jokes. This is on you. WOZNIAK Oh, because you're such a choir boy. You've made choices, too, my friend. ESPADA I thought you and Harlee made a deal with the Feds. WOZNIAK We did. ESPADA But what? You had to give up a pound of flesh, and I was the most disposable. WOZNIAK What? You're lucky I can't come over there and slap that sourpuss right off your face! ESPADA Anyone ever tell you that you blow at giving pep talks? WOZNIAK Listen, keep your shoulders back. You're a cop on the inside. Stop sulking, and don't show any weakness. ESPADA They'll arraign me in the morning. Even if I beat the charges, my career's over. WOZNIAK I'm figuring out a play to get you out of here, but in the meantime, stand tall. ESPADA Figuring out, as in you don't have one. WOZNIAK You're walking out of here a free man tomorrow. You have my word. Home safe. WOZNIAK Indisputable fact, Harlee. Nobody knows where a man's skeletons are buried like the woman in his life. HARLEE Now, No, that doesn't mean she has something to say. And I don't think Stahl lets people in like that. He compartmentalizes. WOZNIAK Maybe now. But there has to be a reason for that. He didn't turn into a psycho overnight. HARLEE You learn how to hide 'cause something's someone's chasing you. WOZNIAK If anybody knows who's chasing Stahl, it's her. Look, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But if I'm right, we're having Bloody Marys with Espada tomorrow morning. HARLEE I'll punch through the final bell with you, Woz. I will. But you have to realize that Stahl has you locked in a corner. WOZNIAK But we're not there yet. HARLEE Then Well, then, I think that you have the best chance with the former Mrs. Stahl. I mean, you helped her secure full custody. WOZNIAK Yeah, but you share a common problem. MARTA We don't want any. I only answered 'cause I have a sick kid napping. HARLEE Wait, Marta Stahl? I owe you an apology. I'm the woman. From the video. MARTA The whore? HARLEE I need your help. I'm worried that he's gonna kill me. HARLEE Your ex-husband follows me. Some times every day. I'll come out of a store, and he'll just be standing there, watching. He doesn't won't say a word, he's just taunting me. MARTA Did you call the police? HARLEE He looks like an altar boy and works for the FBI. How does that play out? MARTA What is it you want from me? MARTA He did that? HARLEE And worse. MARTA Winning really matters to Robert. It's the only reason he wanted joint custody of Justin. HARLEE But he lost. He lost because of that video. MARTA Are you saying you did me a favor? HARLEE I'm-I'm saying that-- That now I need something like that. And I'm praying that you can give it to me. HARLEE Look, you don't owe me anything, but I'd appreciate any information that could give me a fighting chance. LOMAN You know, you might have mentioned that I was the lone badge before we kicked the door down. TUFO Would it have made a difference? LOMAN Maybe. TUFO Listen, man, I'm grateful. All right, and if you ever need me for anything, you just let me know, I'll be the first one in, no questions asked. But you gotta stop pretending like you're a victim of circumstance. LOMAN No, I was a victim of a half-baked plan. TUFO You're a grown man. You knew what we went there to do. LOMAN To take down a criminal, not do his work for him. TUFO A man's survival depends on his ability to adapt. LOMAN You can justify just about anything with that. TUFO Take a stand or get out of the way. LOMAN Okay. TUFO Okay. LOMAN But I'm looking in that trunk before we deliver anything to that son of a bitch. TUFO Third option, I'll send your ass back to church. And where's Harlee? WOZNIAK On assignment. I'm the designated car thief. TUFO Well, I wasn't looking to involve you, Woz. WOZNIAK First in a moron-athon of misjudgments. TUFO My brother is busted up, in debt to this drug dealer. I mean, I didn't have a lot of options. WOZNIAK No, you probably wouldn't when you turn your back on your friends. Hey, ye-yeah, uh, I got the car. What do you got? HARLEE Still a Hail Mary. The ex-wife gave me the name of the woman at the center of Stahl's career issues. WOZNIAK What, his psychiatrist? HARLEE The widow of his dead partner. The dead partner that has him so focused on Julia. WOZNIAK The partner killed while undercover? HARLEE That's the story. WOZNIAK But Well, what's the address? HARLEE And that's the hiccup. The widow was offered witness protection. WOZNIAK Witness protection? What the hell did she do? HARLEE I guess when your husband gets whacked while undercover with the Mafia, the bureau offers you protection. WOZNIAK Witsec is more than a hiccup. I mean, we-we got less than sixteen hours. Where do we even get started? HARLEE I think I might know. Ours is not the only house divided. LOMAN Let me remind you while why we're here. all right? TUFO Wha- All right. Okay. LOMAN We're stealing a car from police impound for a drug dealer! All in a day's work for this unit. TESS Shh TUFO Or an hour and a half. LOMAN Okay. We're doing this one thing for me. We're looking in into the trunk. TESS It's a shipment of Rolexes, for all we know. LOMAN Or a shipment of guns. Or a dead body? TUFO But we're never gonna find out 'cause I'm not gonna open the damn thing. LOMAN So you don't care who gets hurt? WOZNIAK Of course, he does, especially if it's his brother. Who, all of a sudden, canonized you, Loman? LOMAN I just wanna do the job that I signed up for. WOZNIAK We're a team! We're supposed to be looking out for each other! If that's broke, then nothing else works! Why is that so hard for you to understand? LOMAN If people get hurt in service of our needs then we're the broken ones! WOZNIAK You really think you're better than us? Let me remind you of something. I saved your ass. I saved your ass twice. LOMAN Covering up my mistake, an honest mistake. That was you saving me? WOZNIAK What do you mean an honest mistake? You killed a man. You killed a man and you're still a cop. LOMAN When was the second time, Woz? Hmm? Tell me. When was it? 'Cause I forget. You know, don't tell me, tell them. WOZNIAK You can whine, you can sulk, you can lecture, you can could make all the judgements you want. It doesn't change the fact that you're a dirty cop. Ever since you killed that unarmed black man and lied about it, you became been a dirty cop. NATE Detective Loman? Are you Detective Loman? LOMAN Who's asking? NATE I'm Nate Wozniak. I'm Matt's son. LOMAN Now that's some bad luck. NATE Uh, I'm interviewing his crew for a news article. Can you spare a few minutes? NATE New guy on the squad, huh? Still learning the ropes? LOMAN You know, some days I feel like I'll never get a full grasp. NATE Yeah. Are you okay if I record this? LOMAN Why not? NATE Okay. Uh, I don't want this to be a puff piece. I'd love some texture. LOMAN Mm. NATE Interesting cases, unusual stories. Warts and all. Can you think of any? LOMAN Wel, Well, there's the two murders your dad covered up or the multimillion dollar heist of federal money he orchestrated with a missing Internal Affairs officer. NATE Why don't we just start where the bodies are buried. LOMAN Burned, not buried. LOMAN You really don't know your dad, do you? MOLLY The tikka masala and a side of dal. MOLLY Intimidation of a federal officer is a class C felony. WOZNIAK We just wanna have a conversation with you. MOLLY Thanks, but I prefer my own company. HARLEE I imagine it gets lonely when you're the scapegoat. You disappeared right after that FBI heist investigation went sideways. MOLLY Your skill sets do extend beyond extortion and grand larceny. WOZNIAK What backwater place did the FBI ditch your career in? MOLLY Mail fraud. And you have until dispatch answers to convince me not to report you. HARLEE Molly, we have a serious problem. MOLLY This is Agent Molly Chen. Violent Crime desk, Brooklyn-Queens, please. HARLEE It's Stahl. He's unstable. He's become obsessed with me and none of us feel safe. MOLLY You've met his boss. File a complaint compliant. WOZNIAK The Feds don't care how the sausage is made, they just want the results. MOLLY They're transferring me now. HARLEE Molly, we watched him kill a man, right in front us, cold blood. You've got that twinge in the pit of your stomach, because you've seen flashes of what I'm talking about. The ego, the recklessness, the sadism. WOZNIAK Stahl's dead partner, his wife is in the witness protection program. We need to talk to her. MOLLY Witsec files are sealed and top secret. WOZNIAK But not if you have clearance. MOLLY Which I don't, not anymore. WOZNIAK Well, maybe you know somebody who does. MOLLY Even if I could pry one open, it's a federal crime. HARLEE Look. Stahl doesn't even feel like a man unless he's manipulating a woman. He crawls inside your head, to all the places you feel safe, and he takes it away. But you know that because he's done it to you. MOLLY You're right, Harlee. He's cutthroat and erratic, which is exactly why I don't want back on his radar. WOZNIAK Duck and cover, the FBI way. We're not gonna mention your name. But Stahl's getting more cutthroat by the hour. You need to help us stop him. HARLEE Molly, if we don't stand up to him, nobody else will. MOLLY You ever approach me again, I'll call Gail Baker directly. WOZNIAK We pull the transport over. We say that we're US Marshals, and, and that we made a mistake. And then we just pull Espada out. And, and then we just take him. What? Well, it worked for Rossi! You have that friend, that counterfeiter. She owes you a favor, just get her to make us some badges. HARLEE What do you really wanna do? Woz, look at me. You got to make a decision. You said it yourself, we don't do something now, Espada's done. WOZNIAK Everything that Julia's done for us? HARLEE I understand. But just so you understand that not making a choice is a choice. WOZNIAK I, I can't choose to be a rat just like I can't choose to, to breathe underwater. That's just not gonna happen. HARLEE We reached the last stop on the line. WOZNIAK What's this "we"? You made your deal, you're free and clear. So why don't you just go, and I'll- HARLEE Because I love you. And, selfishly, I want us all together. You, me, Espada, Tess, Tufo. Safe. Whole. WOZNIAK Ho-How, how? How did you do it? Wear a wire. How do you do that? HARLEE I threw up. Never felt so alone in my life. Then I reminded myself of what I have to live for. And I focused on that and nothing else. You just have to remind yourself what you have to live for. WOZNIAK I'm not sure anymore. HARLEE Look, I won't lie. It'll be the hardest thing you'll you ever do. You'll never be able to look at yourself the same. It's a terrible choice. One I don't envy. But when I look at the scales, I see them tipped one way. Now you may see them different. But I know what decision I'd make. AIDE Latest numbers. Congratulations. You just became the dark horse candidate. TUFO Your debt is paid. WOZNIAK Okay. WOZNIAK Pour it like you mean it. WOZNIAK HARLEE Detective Harlee Santos. I have a delivery for Special Agent Robert Stahl. STAHL Eleventh hour. I was already prepping Espada for transfer. Where's Wozniak? HARLEE He wasn't up for it. STAHL Oh, that doesn't surprise me. Even Napoleon was a no show surrender. Too proud to hand over his sword I guess. HARLEE At least he fought his own battles. STAHL So she's on here? HARLEE Loud and clear. STAHL Indictable evidence? HARLEE You have it. STAHL All right. Well, I guess now that Wozniak has fulfilled his contract, our relationship is going to have to evolve into something little more civil. HARLEE It's not a relationship if only one person has a choice in it. STAHL Mm, you've always had a choice, Harlee, you just didn't make the right choice until now. HARLEE We can finally agree on something. PEOPLE IN RESTAURANT HARLEE I appreciate you talking to me. STAHL You went? HARLEE Hard place to find. WOMANS VOICE I always knew someone would come asking. Who told you about us? HARLEE Robert's ex-wife. WOMANS VOICE Robert tried to convince me that she didn't know. She knew. HARLEE An affair? WOMANS VOICE Yes. STAHL She's in witness protection. HARLEE I'm a very good detective. HARLEE And that's what you knew someone would come asking about? WOMANS VOICE I knew someone would come asking about how Robert got my husband killed. HARLEE I thought you enjoyed eavesdropping on my conversations. STAHL She is not well, Harlee. She doesn't know what she's saying. HARLEE I think you should hear her out. I mean, I traveled all night to bring that here for you. STAHL I'm having sending Espada sent to Metro, right now. He'll be arraigned by noon. HARLEE I made copies on the train. WOZNIAK HARLEE Julia Ayres didn't get your partner killed. You did. STAHL I told you. Julia Ayres outed my partner, an FBI agent, to her mafia benefactor. Two days after I briefed her, his tongue showed up here in a gift wrapped box. HARLEE Only he shouldn't have still been undercover. You kept him there because you were obsessed with his wife. STAHL That had nothing to do with it. We were on the verge of the biggest mob bust since John Gotti. HARLEE That's not how she puts it. She says you took advantage, emotionally manipulated her. And how she tried to end your affair when her husband told her he was punching out of this assignment and coming home. STAHL The job wasn't done. HARLEE Yeah, but you were already hooked. And you and I both know nothing gets in between you and your desires. HARLEE You extended your partner's undercover assignment, over and over again, playing the sympathetic friend, bucking him up and putting him back in the ring with no end in sight. STAHL Alan was my friend! I didn't play anybody, I didn't play anything, and he knew the risks! HARLEE This isn't just dressing up some prostitute and calling her by your asset's name. This is criminal negligence. STAHL Julia Ayres exposed him. She is the villain here. HARLEE Is that what you tell yourself? Because somewhere underneath all that rage and twisted passion, there's a real person trying to reconcile what happened to his partner. My arrest, getting Wozniak, pursuing Ayres, it's not vengeance. You screwed us! So you could save yourself! HARLEE Make a call. I want Espada out by the time I get downstairs. And then I never hear from you again.
