- Christ, Jimmy,
it's been weeks.
[sighing]
When you first
asked me to join SIU
I thought it was a joke.
[chuckling]
I did.
Jimmy Blue.
The Jimmy Blue wants a beat cop.
[chuckling]
For his new unit.
You know I'd been passed over
for detective four times?
Of course you knew that.
[solemn music]
Of course you knew that,
mmm-hmm. [chuckling]
Come on, Jimmy.
- When I stumbled
into an SIU case,
I just knew.
SIU.
Mmm.
But I tell you, Jimmy, when
I got that call from SIU
I couldn't believe it, man.
I just knew I was coasting.
I mean, what we see, what we do.
It was like nothing
I've ever known.
[solemn music]
[muffled speaking]
- Jimmy, I'd like you
to open your eyes now.
[solemn music]
Tess is good.
Tess, Tarik and I,
we're holding down SIU
until you get back.
We've had some cases.
I'll spare you the details.
Tess is a machine.
No stone left unturned.
Tarik's a good man.
Probably even a better cop.
You're rubbing off on him.
I don't know if that's a
good thing or a bad thing.
Say YOLO, please.
- [Man] Hello?
[emotional music]
- Oh, Jimmy.
I'm not to be trusted.
[tense music]
[muffled talking]
- Who the fuck are you?
- Fuck, I'm the mother
fucker with the gun.
Is that your coke?
Get the fuck outta here!
Get the fuck outta here!
[door slamming]
[sighing]
- And I'm trying to hold
it together, but I...
I feel myself coming apart.
You said you'd never leave me.
You promised me.
- I'm ready, Ez.
Rez, and it's like.
I just need a little
bump, I'll be good.
Where's my?
- [Jimmy] Get up, get up.
- Where's Tina?
- You don't need a bump,
come on, you're okay.
Let's get you covered
up, all right?
- [Yolanda] Wait,
no I need them.
- Oh, no, no, no.
You don't need that.
- [Yolanda] I need that.
- [Jimmy] You definitely
don't need that.
You need this--
- [Yolanda] Oh!
- [Jimmy] Don't need
any more of that.
We don't need any more of that.
Jesus Christ, I'm so sorry.
- [Yolanda] Hi.
- I should have
been here sooner.
I should have been here.
- Hi.
But you made it.
- [Jimmy] Hi, okay.
I'm sorry.
- Why are you sorry?
- I should have
been in here sooner.
I'm so sorry.
Fuck.
I'm sorry.
- Hi.
Why are you sorry?
- Oh my God, it's just
been a really rough week.
- Yeah.
- Oh, hey, hey.
Sit up, sit up,
and I'm gonna quick
get you to the hospital.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
- Hi.
- Hey, hey, we gotta get
you cleaned up, okay?
Come on.
- [Yolanda] I'm not
going to hospital.
- [Jimmy] What?
- I'm not going to a hospital,
I'm going to a hospital.
You don't care about me.
- Of course I do.
Of course I do, okay?
Okay?
Okay?
Hey, hey, hey.
- [Yolanda] So tired.
- Hey, Jesus.
- I'm so tired, Jimmy.
- Okay, sweetheart, no.
No, please.
No, no.
- [Yolanda] I need coke.
- Jesus Christ.
- I know you're here,
but you're not here
and you left.
I have no right to ask this,
but I need you to
open your eyes.
For me.
I need your strength, Jimmy.
I'm not strong
enough to do this.
[sighing]
And someone is gonna notice
and they're gonna wanna now why.
Why I'm the head of SIU.
- When I first met
you I was in love.
I'm serious.
Do you remember what you said?
Neither do I.
I was kind of hoping
you'd say something.
It was something like, are you
half as good as your reports?
And I said, yeah.
Better.
To which you said,
"We're starting a team
"and you're on it."
It's the trust.
It's the tea.
Bonding over the tea.
It's the work.
[police radio chatter
in background]
[sniffing]
- This wouldn't happen to be--
- Sometimes you
just gotta relax.
- [Jimmy] What do
ya got right now?
- I had to do some
very unwomanly things
to get those records
back so quickly.
- [Jimmy] Ooh,
well have some tea.
What did you find?
- Jesse's records are clean.
But Jesse needed the
money and he felt like
it was his duty to
protect the kid.
- [Jimmy] Did he ever
file a complaint?
- It looks like he filed
several, but I know.
- 'Cause he's the mayor and
the mayor bought him quietly.
- Exactly.
Kind of sucks.
- And the money?
- Nothing yet, but I'll let
you know if we find anything.
- All right, well
see what you can find
on the mayor and the DO.
- What are you thinkin'?
- Well, just a
little landscaping.
- You got it, boss.
- Keep me posted.
- Will do.
- You know my dad and
I, we talk about you.
I know he respects you.
Tell you one day, Jimmy,
you've got to meet my dad soon.
But he also thinks that
you're a [mumbling].
Mr. Carpenter?
SIU.
Detective Tarik.
I got a couple
questions for you.
- What the fuck
do you want, man?
- Let's ah, let's
try this again, huh?
NYPD, Special
Investigation Unit.
- Yeah, I heard
you the first time.
Just because you're
a cop doesn't mean
I gotta kiss your ass.
- Think you need to
calm down, young man.
Plus you got a little
somethin' on your breath.
- Well, I can take your
fuckin' badge, though, huh?
[grunting]
[banging]
- You're comin' in with me.
- Come on, man.
Yolanda and Tess. [chuckling]
They holdin' it down, man.
They holdin' it down.
I mean, Yolanda
is a strong woman.
I'm startin' to think
that she's a little bit
stronger than you.
Hmm.
Oh, and that Tess.
Oh my gosh, man, Tess is a rock.
Tell me why I'm seeing more
of you inside of her, man.
[scoffing]
I just need you to teach
me the ways of you, Jimmy.
Mmm.
You were right about
that pizza, though.
[chuckling]
Jimmy, was this it?
Was this what you
warned me about?
[traffic roaring]
You wanted to see me?
[traffic roaring]
[muffled talking]
- Sometimes the only
way out is through it.
[traffic roaring]
[muffled talking]
Bad things happen for a reason.
Sometimes something so
simple suddenly isn't.
You find yourself in a place
where it doesn't matter.
[traffic roaring]
[muffled talking]
It doesn't matter if
it was good or bad.
All that matters is the now.
[traffic roaring]
[muffled talking]
It don't matter if
you fight, but you do.
But at least come and do it.
Sooner or later there
is gonna be a reckoning.
- Well, I'm with you.
Jimmy, we're all with you.
[traffic roaring]
Jimmy, it's comin'.
Jim, I need you to get up, man.
Jimmy, it feels wrong, man.
Jimmy, it feels like
I'm playin' a part
and sooner or later
people is gonna notice.
[solemn music]
It's gonna happen.
- For someone who is always
picked last in gym class,
to be picked first
is like swoon.
I'm fallin' apart, Jimmy.
Sooner or later
everyone's gonna realize
I'm faking it until
you come back.
Can you move your hand?
Just asking.
- If you're left with
me, you'll be fine.
[solemn music]
This is emotional, Jimmy.
I asked you to leave,
and what did you say?
This city had given you nothing.
Nothing.
Do you remember what you said?
You know, since I moved here,
I never left the city.
But lately I've been
thinking about getting away.
- Where would you go?
- Oh, I want us to start
over somewhere else.
A fresh beginning, I don't know.
I just.
- Gloria.
I don't know what to say.
I, babe, my life is here.
- Jimmy.
That day I went...
[phone buzzing]
When I went to your
place I wanted to talk.
I wanted to talk to you.
[phone buzzing]
- I'll wait.
- Pick the phone, please.
Pick up the phone.
[phone buzzing]
- I have to go inside, okay?
I have to go upstairs.
Gloria, please look at me.
I'll call you.
All right, we need
to talk, okay?
Gloria, please,
I'll call you later.
[kiss smacking]
I'm sorry.
I'll call you.
[solemn music]
- You didn't want to come
with me, so you did this.
And then I stay.
Well, it worked.
I love you, papi-pa.
Maybe if we can get
our shit together.
I love you.
But I can't wait
for you anymore.
I can't.
What if, what if you?
What if you fight?
What if you wake up right
now and fight for your life?
[solemn music]
- We're on the case.
We just don't have
a lot to go on.
But let me give
you the run down.
You were shot more than once
and now you're in a coma.
- All right.
Okay.
Let's run it again.
- Yeah.
So Jimmy walked out here
and we know it because--
- We have two witnesses.
- They saw a man that
fit Jimmy's description
walking down here.
- Followed by three guys.
- Shouting, gunshots.
- They call 911.
- Clean.
- Clean.
- Yeah.
- What were you doing
down that alleyway?
[suspenseful music]
It doesn't make
any sense, Jimmy.
What? Why?
Why would you go down there?
- Jimmy, what made
you go down there?
[suspenseful music]
[muffled speaking]
- Back up.
You have a partner.
Yeah, that's more
than one person.
- Makes no sense.
Why?
Why would you?
Who were you following?
Who followed you?
God, Jimmy tell me
who was out there.
Okay.
Now what about Hans?
Is he saying anything?
- No, I stopped by there, but
that's Jimmy's relationship.
He said he was gonna handle it.
But I talked to my old man.
He says men like Jimmy
have enemies so long
that they start
lookin' like friends.
- You think he
knew who did this?
So what we know.
We know you knew the...
We think you knew the person.
People.
[suspenseful music]
- It's like whatever
leads that we had
aren't even there.
I just, I can't explain it.
- Jimmy, I...
Jimmy, I've never seen a more
dead end trail than your case.
- I met someone.
He's nice.
You'd hate 'em.
He's a prosecutor.
We met in a bar.
But then...
Well, and I went to
subpoena the records
of the two witnesses
of your shooting,
there he was.
And he helped.
[solemn music]
It's a work in progress.
I think I'm just tired
of judging my life
by the pain I feel.
I just wanna
try to feel something different.
So what do we know?
[suspenseful music]
We know you went down
an alley by yourself
without your backup.
We know that.
Not sure why you have a partner.
You don't call your partner.
No, you didn't.
- Yeah, what was it?
Were you mugged?
Jimmy, is it that simple?
- This is not for Papi.
You need to wake up
and tell who did this.
For me.
[suspenseful music]
- I mean, we're talkin'
about Jimmy here.
You mean to tell me he
couldn't get one shot off?
Not one?
- None of the local
hospitals have anyone
matching the description of--
- The muggers.
- Assassins.
- We're talkin' about three
tall black men, average size.
From head to toe no
piercings, no earrings,
no tattoos, no nothin'.
Dressed in all black.
What?
- Where were you the
night of the 21st?
- Don't start with me.
I was with my old
man watchin' reruns.
[laughing]
- Reruns, huh?
- [Tarik] Yes.
- Oh, no lady in your life.
- No, but that's not due to
a lack of missing anything.
And I mean nothing.
- Oh, relax, it'll happen.
- Isn't she optimistic.
[laughing]
I did have a conversation
with Jimmy, though.
I felt like he was trying
to warn me or somethin'.
He said something big
was about to happen.
You think this was it?
- You think he knew
he was in trouble.
- Have you seen him?
Yeah.
Yeah.
- Let's run it again.
I'm gonna take the back room.
- All right.
[suspenseful music]
- Okay.
You'll always be mine.
- I promise I will not
let you down, Jimmy.
I'll leave it just
the way you left it.
It'll be ready for you
when you come back.
- I got nothin', Jimmy.
I have no tests.
I have no DNA samples.
I have no bullets.
Except for the ones
they pulled out of you
and those don't
even match anything.
I promise you, Jimmy.
I won't stop looking.
- I promise you I'm gonna
close this case, Jimmy.
I promise.
[sighing]
- [Woman] I know who shot Jimmy.
[dramatic music]
- And you are?
- Internal affairs.
Here to talk.
[dramatic music]
[scoffing]
- Thank you.
- We haven't met or been
formally introduced.
- No, but I know who you are.
- I'm sorry about your partner.
- Are you?
- All right, fine.
No small talk.
Are you aware that Jimmy
and his former partner
Darius Thompson were/are
under investigation?
- Yes.
For [mumbles], yes.
- I respect Jimmy.
He's a good cop.
Or he was.
- Is.
- Shit, maybe he still is.
I don't know.
But he is guilty.
[scoffing]
- Go to hell.
- Wait, here me out, please.
[dramatic music]
Look, I'm here off the record,
and if I'm wrong, which I'm not,
then we're back
where we started.
But right now there are
bigger fish out there.
It's all connected.
Jimmy's assassination,
the warehouse theft,
the Albanians.
It all circles in on itself.
[dramatic music]
- Okay.
- This is just a
you and me thing.
All right?
- No.
This is an SIU thing.
[dramatic music]
Let's talk tomorrow.
- My place.
- Tess's.
- Fine.
- Fine.
[car horns honking]
[dramatic music]
Thoughts?
[sighing]
- I think that
there was no proof
that Jimmy and
Darius did anything.
- That's true.
They covered their
tracks very well.
- Maybe you should stop
assuming that they're guilty.
- They are.
You don't have to like it.
Here's what scares me.
Everywhere Robert and I turn,
we're hitting roadblocks.
As if slowly all the links
between Darius and Jimmy
and the Albanian organization
are disappearing.
- Hold on.
Are you saying what I
think you're saying?
- She's saying she's
thinking a dirty cop.
What a surprise for an
IA officer to think that.
- It makes sense.
And that's why we're here.
That's why this stays here.
[dramatic music]
- All right.
What else?
- We had a witness.
Zakhia, Robert
would've been off grid.
- You know what pisses me off?
We finally get Darius
for rollin' on Jimmy,
and we get nothin'
from the wire.
And now he pulls
this vanishing act.
- I have good news.
- Yeah?
Give me good news.
- We got a break.
Armando Zania.
He's on the books as a
janitor at the warehouse.
We know he has very
close ties with
the Albanian mob.
Very close.
- And?
- And he clocked in at
7:00am and never clocked out.
- You think he was there?
- [IA Officer] I
think he saw it.
- All right.
Quietly.
Do not let Jimmy or
Darius get wind of this.
Find him and bring him in.
- One step ahead of you.
[dramatic music]
[shouting in background]
- [Man] Armando.
- [Armando] Yeah.
- How about a little chat, huh?
- Yeah.
What do you wanna do?
- Shit. Go!
Hold it!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
- What, I didn't
do nothin', man.
I want my lawyer.
- You didn't do nothin'?
- Naw.
- Or do you want a lawyer?
- Both.
- Both.
Go grab a coffee, huh?
I got him, I got him.
Let's take a little walk.
- You're makin' a mistake, man.
- Two days later
Armando ends up dead.
[people chatting in background]
We don't know how,
we don't know by who,
but I can guess.
- That doesn't say dirty cop.
That says mob boss
tryin' to clean up house.
[fingers snapping]
- [Yolanda] Mmm-hmm.
- Argon, reported
head of the Albanians,
prizes family to a fault.
After the death of his son,
Armando became his
right-hand man.
And Darius goes missing.
According to Chief Riles,
he asked for a leave of absence,
so nobody's looking for him.
Jimmy ends up in the hospital.
And Darius's daughter,
who's suffering from
a rare form of cancer,
is now a ward of the state.
And the only reason Darius
wouldn't see his daughter is--
- Because he's dead?
- Or he's running
from something.
- Not only do we
need to find Darius,
but we need to find a link
between the Albanians,
the murders and the
shootings that's solid.
- You know what this
means if we do this?
- We'll be helping to
prove that Jimmy was
part of the warehouse shooting.
- But you'll find the
man who shot Jimmy.
- I promised him.
Promised him we would solve it.
- Yeah.
- Where do you need us?
- Back with your witnesses.
- Put some pressure
on, see what happens?
- But I have to stay out of it.
[scoffing]
- Can we run things
from here, Tess?
- Mi casa su casa.
- We'll take the witnesses.
- Sure.
- We'll keep you in the loop.
Daylight's burning.
- And I need this done yesterday
before the trails go
cold or just disappear.
[suspenseful music]
- Okay, I'm here.
- Okay.
- This is so weird.
- I agree, but Tess's right.
I might have
information you don't,
and we can't waste time.
She's got Tarik on her phone.
[suspenseful music]
- [Tarik] Anyone home?
- [Ethan] Yeah.
- Yup, loud and clear.
Let's go find this guy.
- How can I help you, officer?
- I have a couple
questions about a shooting
that happened about
six weeks ago.
A Detective Jimmy Brutt.
- Oh.
Yeah, man, yeah.
I, um, I heard about that, man.
That is crazy.
Did they ever catch
the guys who did that?
- [Yolanda] No one's home.
- Maybe there's a manager.
- You know, maybe
there's a manager.
- Hang on.
Hey.
Detective Yolanda Rodriguez.
Mind if I ask you
a few questions?
- No, not at all.
- You are?
- Tommy.
Sheldon.
- Tommy Sheldon.
- Yeah.
- Do you know Christopher Allen?
Is he your neighbor?
- Yeah, I know Chris.
- [Yolanda] You do?
- Yeah.
- Ah, I'm just here to
follow up on a couple leads.
Hopin' you can
tell me somethin'.
[sighing]
- Yeah.
He tell you about the
shooting that happened
a few weeks back?
- He did.
- Oh, he did.
So, ah, you know
where Chris is now?
- Gone.
He moved to Florida.
- It's bad on bad, right?
Think you have it rough
and then somethin'
like this happens, you realize
maybe your life ain't so rough.
- Yeah, it's all
perspective, right?
- [Ethan] Yeah.
- Look, I don't know
what I can tell you.
He, uh, he took off
not too long ago.
He was talkin' about moving
to the Keys for like forever.
Good for him, right?
- Right.
- Things finally turned around.
- How so?
- Um.
Let's see, I saw your detective.
He was talkin'
with a couple guys.
They went walkin' down an alley
and I just went back
to drinkin' my coffee,
waitin' for the bus.
- Ask him about the bus.
- I mean, one minute you
lose your job at a bar,
next thing you know
your aunt and uncle
die in a car wreck and
you've got the money to move.
- Huh.
The reports didn't mention that.
- [Tommy] Yeah, well.
- Talk to him about the bar.
- Huh, well thank
you for your time.
- Yeah.
- Tommy.
- Tommy.
- [Yolanda] Sheldon.
- Yup.
- Oh, ah, the bar.
Do you remember
where it was located?
- Anything else?
- No.
You know, actually.
The bus line.
What color was it?
- Blue.
- Blue.
So was that before or
after the shooting?
- Ah, it was before.
- [Tarik] So that
means you missed it.
- Yeah, yeah, I missed it.
Hey, you mind?
- Somewhere on 10th and uh.
- Is it the corner
of 10th and 122nd?
- 10th and 122nd?
- Yes, that's the one.
- [Yolanda] Thanks.
Have a great day.
- You too.
- Hey, you mind if
I get back to work?
- No.
- All right.
- Thank you for your time.
- You get all that?
- Okay, let's meet
back here and check in.
- Get that, Tess?
Gotta love modern technology.
- I'll take that
as a compliment.
[suspenseful music]
[sirens wailing]
- Tess, check the bus schedules.
Make sure they line up
with Ethan's statement
and Jimmy's shooting.
- On it.
- How did you know
about the bar?
- It's a place
where Armando set up
for a meeting with Robert.
Armando never showed.
They then said they
closed it for remodeling.
Darius goes missing.
- We could've started there.
- No, she's right.
We should start
with the evidence.
But we don't keep
things from each other.
This is a team.
We work together.
We share everything,
even if it's a hunch.
- Noted.
- Okay, I'm pulling up
their records right now.
- That still doesn't
prove anything.
I mean, just because Armando
had a drink at the bar.
- No, but too many
people are missing,
shot and presumed dead.
It all links to the bar.
Yolanda?
- I hate to say it, but I agree.
- Okay, so the bar was run
by a guy named Kyle Guest.
He manages the bar,
but it's owned by
a company called ECO Homestead.
It's a private company,
so I can't really
dig any further.
- That alone's not unusual.
- ECO Homestead is
a legal company.
Alan Turnbow is the president.
Alan was last seen in
the company of these two.
- Andre Brown and Fiona Leeden.
- With names like
that, let me guess.
Associates of Argon Meldrid?
- You got it.
- Tarik?
- Yes?
- How do you feel about
taking me for a drink?
[chuckles]
I hear there's a bar at 10th
and 122nd we can check out.
- Hey, I thought
you'd never ask.
- Well, I'm askin'.
- Oh, I'm followin'.
Let's go.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Mmm.
This is good.
How are you holdin' up?
- How are you?
- You know you do
that, don't you?
- What?
- Answer a question
with a question.
Come on, you can talk to me.
- I just want to
find Jimmy's shooter.
- Makes two of us.
- Maybe we all do that.
- Mmm.
Maybe it's part of the job.
- Mmm.
- Or maybe we shouldn't, huh?
- Maybe we shouldn't.
Tarik?
- Mmm-hmm?
- You ever think about
the fact we could be
proving Jimmy innocent?
- Mmm.
Yeah.
- Yeah.
- How's the um,
how's the new man?
- Don't do that.
Don't do, don't--
- I'm just askin'.
- I'm...
Tarik.
- [Tarik] Oh, shit.
- Zakhia know you're here?
- It was his idea.
[suspenseful music]
- [Tarik] Get him.
All right, ladies.
We're sending you a picture now.
- That's Argon.
And the woman in the picture?
That's Fiona Leeder.
- That's Darius.
- Well, I guess we know
where Darius has been.
- Could something have
happened to Chris?
- [Tarik] Guess he didn't
make it to Florida, huh?
- Okay.
According to the bus schedule,
the night Jimmy was shot
the bus Ethan says
he missed actually
arrived 30 minutes after
he said it did.
- So he lied.
At least we know where
to start tomorrow.
- No, we don't
know anything yet.
But we will.
[suspenseful music]

- Christ, Jimmy,
it's been weeks.
[sighing]
When you first
asked me to join SIU
I thought it was a joke.
[chuckling]
I did.
Jimmy Blue.
The Jimmy Blue wants a beat cop.
[chuckling]
For his new unit.
You know I'd been passed over
for detective four times?
Of course you knew that.
[solemn music]
Of course you knew that,
mmm-hmm. [chuckling]
Come on, Jimmy.
- When I stumbled
into an SIU case,
I just knew.
SIU.
Mmm.
But I tell you, Jimmy, when
I got that call from SIU
I couldn't believe it, man.
I just knew I was coasting.
I mean, what we see, what we do.
It was like nothing
I've ever known.
[solemn music]
[muffled speaking]
- Jimmy, I'd like you
to open your eyes now.
[solemn music]
Tess is good.
Tess, Tarik and I,
we're holding down SIU
until you get back.
We've had some cases.
I'll spare you the details.
Tess is a machine.
No stone left unturned.
Tarik's a good man.
Probably even a better cop.
You're rubbing off on him.
I don't know if that's a
good thing or a bad thing.
Say YOLO, please.
- [Man] Hello?
[emotional music]
- Oh, Jimmy.
I'm not to be trusted.
[tense music]
[muffled talking]
- Who the fuck are you?
- Fuck, I'm the mother
fucker with the gun.
Is that your coke?
Get the fuck outta here!
Get the fuck outta here!
[door slamming]
[sighing]
- And I'm trying to hold
it together, but I...
I feel myself coming apart.
You said you'd never leave me.
You promised me.
- I'm ready, Ez.
Rez, and it's like.
I just need a little
bump, I'll be good.
Where's my?
- [Jimmy] Get up, get up.
- Where's Tina?
- You don't need a bump,
come on, you're okay.
Let's get you covered
up, all right?
- [Yolanda] Wait,
no I need them.
- Oh, no, no, no.
You don't need that.
- [Yolanda] I need that.
- [Jimmy] You definitely
don't need that.
You need this--
- [Yolanda] Oh!
- [Jimmy] Don't need
any more of that.
We don't need any more of that.
Jesus Christ, I'm so sorry.
- [Yolanda] Hi.
- I should have
been here sooner.
I should have been here.
- Hi.
But you made it.
- [Jimmy] Hi, okay.
I'm sorry.
- Why are you sorry?
- I should have
been in here sooner.
I'm so sorry.
Fuck.
I'm sorry.
- Hi.
Why are you sorry?
- Oh my God, it's just
been a really rough week.
- Yeah.
- Oh, hey, hey.
Sit up, sit up,
and I'm gonna quick
get you to the hospital.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
- Hi.
- Hey, hey, we gotta get
you cleaned up, okay?
Come on.
- [Yolanda] I'm not
going to hospital.
- [Jimmy] What?
- I'm not going to a hospital,
I'm going to a hospital.
You don't care about me.
- Of course I do.
Of course I do, okay?
Okay?
Okay?
Hey, hey, hey.
- [Yolanda] So tired.
- Hey, Jesus.
- I'm so tired, Jimmy.
- Okay, sweetheart, no.
No, please.
No, no.
- [Yolanda] I need coke.
- Jesus Christ.
- I know you're here,
but you're not here
and you left.
I have no right to ask this,
but I need you to
open your eyes.
For me.
I need your strength, Jimmy.
I'm not strong
enough to do this.
[sighing]
And someone is gonna notice
and they're gonna wanna now why.
Why I'm the head of SIU.
- When I first met
you I was in love.
I'm serious.
Do you remember what you said?
Neither do I.
I was kind of hoping
you'd say something.
It was something like, are you
half as good as your reports?
And I said, yeah.
Better.
To which you said,
"We're starting a team
"and you're on it."
It's the trust.
It's the tea.
Bonding over the tea.
It's the work.
[police radio chatter
in background]
[sniffing]
- This wouldn't happen to be--
- Sometimes you
just gotta relax.
- [Jimmy] What do
ya got right now?
- I had to do some
very unwomanly things
to get those records
back so quickly.
- [Jimmy] Ooh,
well have some tea.
What did you find?
- Jesse's records are clean.
But Jesse needed the
money and he felt like
it was his duty to
protect the kid.
- [Jimmy] Did he ever
file a complaint?
- It looks like he filed
several, but I know.
- 'Cause he's the mayor and
the mayor bought him quietly.
- Exactly.
Kind of sucks.
- And the money?
- Nothing yet, but I'll let
you know if we find anything.
- All right, well
see what you can find
on the mayor and the DO.
- What are you thinkin'?
- Well, just a
little landscaping.
- You got it, boss.
- Keep me posted.
- Will do.
- You know my dad and
I, we talk about you.
I know he respects you.
Tell you one day, Jimmy,
you've got to meet my dad soon.
But he also thinks that
you're a [mumbling].
Mr. Carpenter?
SIU.
Detective Tarik.
I got a couple
questions for you.
- What the fuck
do you want, man?
- Let's ah, let's
try this again, huh?
NYPD, Special
Investigation Unit.
- Yeah, I heard
you the first time.
Just because you're
a cop doesn't mean
I gotta kiss your ass.
- Think you need to
calm down, young man.
Plus you got a little
somethin' on your breath.
- Well, I can take your
fuckin' badge, though, huh?
[grunting]
[banging]
- You're comin' in with me.
- Come on, man.
Yolanda and Tess. [chuckling]
They holdin' it down, man.
They holdin' it down.
I mean, Yolanda
is a strong woman.
I'm startin' to think
that she's a little bit
stronger than you.
Hmm.
Oh, and that Tess.
Oh my gosh, man, Tess is a rock.
Tell me why I'm seeing more
of you inside of her, man.
[scoffing]
I just need you to teach
me the ways of you, Jimmy.
Mmm.
You were right about
that pizza, though.
[chuckling]
Jimmy, was this it?
Was this what you
warned me about?
[traffic roaring]
You wanted to see me?
[traffic roaring]
[muffled talking]
- Sometimes the only
way out is through it.
[traffic roaring]
[muffled talking]
Bad things happen for a reason.
Sometimes something so
simple suddenly isn't.
You find yourself in a place
where it doesn't matter.
[traffic roaring]
[muffled talking]
It doesn't matter if
it was good or bad.
All that matters is the now.
[traffic roaring]
[muffled talking]
It don't matter if
you fight, but you do.
But at least come and do it.
Sooner or later there
is gonna be a reckoning.
- Well, I'm with you.
Jimmy, we're all with you.
[traffic roaring]
Jimmy, it's comin'.
Jim, I need you to get up, man.
Jimmy, it feels wrong, man.
Jimmy, it feels like
I'm playin' a part
and sooner or later
people is gonna notice.
[solemn music]
It's gonna happen.
- For someone who is always
picked last in gym class,
to be picked first
is like swoon.
I'm fallin' apart, Jimmy.
Sooner or later
everyone's gonna realize
I'm faking it until
you come back.
Can you move your hand?
Just asking.
- If you're left with
me, you'll be fine.
[solemn music]
This is emotional, Jimmy.
I asked you to leave,
and what did you say?
This city had given you nothing.
Nothing.
Do you remember what you said?
You know, since I moved here,
I never left the city.
But lately I've been
thinking about getting away.
- Where would you go?
- Oh, I want us to start
over somewhere else.
A fresh beginning, I don't know.
I just.
- Gloria.
I don't know what to say.
I, babe, my life is here.
- Jimmy.
That day I went...
[phone buzzing]
When I went to your
place I wanted to talk.
I wanted to talk to you.
[phone buzzing]
- I'll wait.
- Pick the phone, please.
Pick up the phone.
[phone buzzing]
- I have to go inside, okay?
I have to go upstairs.
Gloria, please look at me.
I'll call you.
All right, we need
to talk, okay?
Gloria, please,
I'll call you later.
[kiss smacking]
I'm sorry.
I'll call you.
[solemn music]
- You didn't want to come
with me, so you did this.
And then I stay.
Well, it worked.
I love you, papi-pa.
Maybe if we can get
our shit together.
I love you.
But I can't wait
for you anymore.
I can't.
What if, what if you?
What if you fight?
What if you wake up right
now and fight for your life?
[solemn music]
- We're on the case.
We just don't have
a lot to go on.
But let me give
you the run down.
You were shot more than once
and now you're in a coma.
- All right.
Okay.
Let's run it again.
- Yeah.
So Jimmy walked out here
and we know it because--
- We have two witnesses.
- They saw a man that
fit Jimmy's description
walking down here.
- Followed by three guys.
- Shouting, gunshots.
- They call 911.
- Clean.
- Clean.
- Yeah.
- What were you doing
down that alleyway?
[suspenseful music]
It doesn't make
any sense, Jimmy.
What? Why?
Why would you go down there?
- Jimmy, what made
you go down there?
[suspenseful music]
[muffled speaking]
- Back up.
You have a partner.
Yeah, that's more
than one person.
- Makes no sense.
Why?
Why would you?
Who were you following?
Who followed you?
God, Jimmy tell me
who was out there.
Okay.
Now what about Hans?
Is he saying anything?
- No, I stopped by there, but
that's Jimmy's relationship.
He said he was gonna handle it.
But I talked to my old man.
He says men like Jimmy
have enemies so long
that they start
lookin' like friends.
- You think he
knew who did this?
So what we know.
We know you knew the...
We think you knew the person.
People.
[suspenseful music]
- It's like whatever
leads that we had
aren't even there.
I just, I can't explain it.
- Jimmy, I...
Jimmy, I've never seen a more
dead end trail than your case.
- I met someone.
He's nice.
You'd hate 'em.
He's a prosecutor.
We met in a bar.
But then...
Well, and I went to
subpoena the records
of the two witnesses
of your shooting,
there he was.
And he helped.
[solemn music]
It's a work in progress.
I think I'm just tired
of judging my life
by the pain I feel.
I just wanna
try to feel something different.
So what do we know?
[suspenseful music]
We know you went down
an alley by yourself
without your backup.
We know that.
Not sure why you have a partner.
You don't call your partner.
No, you didn't.
- Yeah, what was it?
Were you mugged?
Jimmy, is it that simple?
- This is not for Papi.
You need to wake up
and tell who did this.
For me.
[suspenseful music]
- I mean, we're talkin'
about Jimmy here.
You mean to tell me he
couldn't get one shot off?
Not one?
- None of the local
hospitals have anyone
matching the description of--
- The muggers.
- Assassins.
- We're talkin' about three
tall black men, average size.
From head to toe no
piercings, no earrings,
no tattoos, no nothin'.
Dressed in all black.
What?
- Where were you the
night of the 21st?
- Don't start with me.
I was with my old
man watchin' reruns.
[laughing]
- Reruns, huh?
- [Tarik] Yes.
- Oh, no lady in your life.
- No, but that's not due to
a lack of missing anything.
And I mean nothing.
- Oh, relax, it'll happen.
- Isn't she optimistic.
[laughing]
I did have a conversation
with Jimmy, though.
I felt like he was trying
to warn me or somethin'.
He said something big
was about to happen.
You think this was it?
- You think he knew
he was in trouble.
- Have you seen him?
Yeah.
Yeah.
- Let's run it again.
I'm gonna take the back room.
- All right.
[suspenseful music]
- Okay.
You'll always be mine.
- I promise I will not
let you down, Jimmy.
I'll leave it just
the way you left it.
It'll be ready for you
when you come back.
- I got nothin', Jimmy.
I have no tests.
I have no DNA samples.
I have no bullets.
Except for the ones
they pulled out of you
and those don't
even match anything.
I promise you, Jimmy.
I won't stop looking.
- I promise you I'm gonna
close this case, Jimmy.
I promise.
[sighing]
- [Woman] I know who shot Jimmy.
[dramatic music]
- And you are?
- Internal affairs.
Here to talk.
[dramatic music]
[scoffing]
- Thank you.
- We haven't met or been
formally introduced.
- No, but I know who you are.
- I'm sorry about your partner.
- Are you?
- All right, fine.
No small talk.
Are you aware that Jimmy
and his former partner
Darius Thompson were/are
under investigation?
- Yes.
For [mumbles], yes.
- I respect Jimmy.
He's a good cop.
Or he was.
- Is.
- Shit, maybe he still is.
I don't know.
But he is guilty.
[scoffing]
- Go to hell.
- Wait, here me out, please.
[dramatic music]
Look, I'm here off the record,
and if I'm wrong, which I'm not,
then we're back
where we started.
But right now there are
bigger fish out there.
It's all connected.
Jimmy's assassination,
the warehouse theft,
the Albanians.
It all circles in on itself.
[dramatic music]
- Okay.
- This is just a
you and me thing.
All right?
- No.
This is an SIU thing.
[dramatic music]
Let's talk tomorrow.
- My place.
- Tess's.
- Fine.
- Fine.
[car horns honking]
[dramatic music]
Thoughts?
[sighing]
- I think that
there was no proof
that Jimmy and
Darius did anything.
- That's true.
They covered their
tracks very well.
- Maybe you should stop
assuming that they're guilty.
- They are.
You don't have to like it.
Here's what scares me.
Everywhere Robert and I turn,
we're hitting roadblocks.
As if slowly all the links
between Darius and Jimmy
and the Albanian organization
are disappearing.
- Hold on.
Are you saying what I
think you're saying?
- She's saying she's
thinking a dirty cop.
What a surprise for an
IA officer to think that.
- It makes sense.
And that's why we're here.
That's why this stays here.
[dramatic music]
- All right.
What else?
- We had a witness.
Zakhia, Robert
would've been off grid.
- You know what pisses me off?
We finally get Darius
for rollin' on Jimmy,
and we get nothin'
from the wire.
And now he pulls
this vanishing act.
- I have good news.
- Yeah?
Give me good news.
- We got a break.
Armando Zania.
He's on the books as a
janitor at the warehouse.
We know he has very
close ties with
the Albanian mob.
Very close.
- And?
- And he clocked in at
7:00am and never clocked out.
- You think he was there?
- [IA Officer] I
think he saw it.
- All right.
Quietly.
Do not let Jimmy or
Darius get wind of this.
Find him and bring him in.
- One step ahead of you.
[dramatic music]
[shouting in background]
- [Man] Armando.
- [Armando] Yeah.
- How about a little chat, huh?
- Yeah.
What do you wanna do?
- Shit. Go!
Hold it!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
- What, I didn't
do nothin', man.
I want my lawyer.
- You didn't do nothin'?
- Naw.
- Or do you want a lawyer?
- Both.
- Both.
Go grab a coffee, huh?
I got him, I got him.
Let's take a little walk.
- You're makin' a mistake, man.
- Two days later
Armando ends up dead.
[people chatting in background]
We don't know how,
we don't know by who,
but I can guess.
- That doesn't say dirty cop.
That says mob boss
tryin' to clean up house.
[fingers snapping]
- [Yolanda] Mmm-hmm.
- Argon, reported
head of the Albanians,
prizes family to a fault.
After the death of his son,
Armando became his
right-hand man.
And Darius goes missing.
According to Chief Riles,
he asked for a leave of absence,
so nobody's looking for him.
Jimmy ends up in the hospital.
And Darius's daughter,
who's suffering from
a rare form of cancer,
is now a ward of the state.
And the only reason Darius
wouldn't see his daughter is--
- Because he's dead?
- Or he's running
from something.
- Not only do we
need to find Darius,
but we need to find a link
between the Albanians,
the murders and the
shootings that's solid.
- You know what this
means if we do this?
- We'll be helping to
prove that Jimmy was
part of the warehouse shooting.
- But you'll find the
man who shot Jimmy.
- I promised him.
Promised him we would solve it.
- Yeah.
- Where do you need us?
- Back with your witnesses.
- Put some pressure
on, see what happens?
- But I have to stay out of it.
[scoffing]
- Can we run things
from here, Tess?
- Mi casa su casa.
- We'll take the witnesses.
- Sure.
- We'll keep you in the loop.
Daylight's burning.
- And I need this done yesterday
before the trails go
cold or just disappear.
[suspenseful music]
- Okay, I'm here.
- Okay.
- This is so weird.
- I agree, but Tess's right.
I might have
information you don't,
and we can't waste time.
She's got Tarik on her phone.
[suspenseful music]
- [Tarik] Anyone home?
- [Ethan] Yeah.
- Yup, loud and clear.
Let's go find this guy.
- How can I help you, officer?
- I have a couple
questions about a shooting
that happened about
six weeks ago.
A Detective Jimmy Brutt.
- Oh.
Yeah, man, yeah.
I, um, I heard about that, man.
That is crazy.
Did they ever catch
the guys who did that?
- [Yolanda] No one's home.
- Maybe there's a manager.
- You know, maybe
there's a manager.
- Hang on.
Hey.
Detective Yolanda Rodriguez.
Mind if I ask you
a few questions?
- No, not at all.
- You are?
- Tommy.
Sheldon.
- Tommy Sheldon.
- Yeah.
- Do you know Christopher Allen?
Is he your neighbor?
- Yeah, I know Chris.
- [Yolanda] You do?
- Yeah.
- Ah, I'm just here to
follow up on a couple leads.
Hopin' you can
tell me somethin'.
[sighing]
- Yeah.
He tell you about the
shooting that happened
a few weeks back?
- He did.
- Oh, he did.
So, ah, you know
where Chris is now?
- Gone.
He moved to Florida.
- It's bad on bad, right?
Think you have it rough
and then somethin'
like this happens, you realize
maybe your life ain't so rough.
- Yeah, it's all
perspective, right?
- [Ethan] Yeah.
- Look, I don't know
what I can tell you.
He, uh, he took off
not too long ago.
He was talkin' about moving
to the Keys for like forever.
Good for him, right?
- Right.
- Things finally turned around.
- How so?
- Um.
Let's see, I saw your detective.
He was talkin'
with a couple guys.
They went walkin' down an alley
and I just went back
to drinkin' my coffee,
waitin' for the bus.
- Ask him about the bus.
- I mean, one minute you
lose your job at a bar,
next thing you know
your aunt and uncle
die in a car wreck and
you've got the money to move.
- Huh.
The reports didn't mention that.
- [Tommy] Yeah, well.
- Talk to him about the bar.
- Huh, well thank
you for your time.
- Yeah.
- Tommy.
- Tommy.
- [Yolanda] Sheldon.
- Yup.
- Oh, ah, the bar.
Do you remember
where it was located?
- Anything else?
- No.
You know, actually.
The bus line.
What color was it?
- Blue.
- Blue.
So was that before or
after the shooting?
- Ah, it was before.
- [Tarik] So that
means you missed it.
- Yeah, yeah, I missed it.
Hey, you mind?
- Somewhere on 10th and uh.
- Is it the corner
of 10th and 122nd?
- 10th and 122nd?
- Yes, that's the one.
- [Yolanda] Thanks.
Have a great day.
- You too.
- Hey, you mind if
I get back to work?
- No.
- All right.
- Thank you for your time.
- You get all that?
- Okay, let's meet
back here and check in.
- Get that, Tess?
Gotta love modern technology.
- I'll take that
as a compliment.
[suspenseful music]
[sirens wailing]
- Tess, check the bus schedules.
Make sure they line up
with Ethan's statement
and Jimmy's shooting.
- On it.
- How did you know
about the bar?
- It's a place
where Armando set up
for a meeting with Robert.
Armando never showed.
They then said they
closed it for remodeling.
Darius goes missing.
- We could've started there.
- No, she's right.
We should start
with the evidence.
But we don't keep
things from each other.
This is a team.
We work together.
We share everything,
even if it's a hunch.
- Noted.
- Okay, I'm pulling up
their records right now.
- That still doesn't
prove anything.
I mean, just because Armando
had a drink at the bar.
- No, but too many
people are missing,
shot and presumed dead.
It all links to the bar.
Yolanda?
- I hate to say it, but I agree.
- Okay, so the bar was run
by a guy named Kyle Guest.
He manages the bar,
but it's owned by
a company called ECO Homestead.
It's a private company,
so I can't really
dig any further.
- That alone's not unusual.
- ECO Homestead is
a legal company.
Alan Turnbow is the president.
Alan was last seen in
the company of these two.
- Andre Brown and Fiona Leeden.
- With names like
that, let me guess.
Associates of Argon Meldrid?
- You got it.
- Tarik?
- Yes?
- How do you feel about
taking me for a drink?
[chuckles]
I hear there's a bar at 10th
and 122nd we can check out.
- Hey, I thought
you'd never ask.
- Well, I'm askin'.
- Oh, I'm followin'.
Let's go.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Mmm.
This is good.
How are you holdin' up?
- How are you?
- You know you do
that, don't you?
- What?
- Answer a question
with a question.
Come on, you can talk to me.
- I just want to
find Jimmy's shooter.
- Makes two of us.
- Maybe we all do that.
- Mmm.
Maybe it's part of the job.
- Mmm.
- Or maybe we shouldn't, huh?
- Maybe we shouldn't.
Tarik?
- Mmm-hmm?
- You ever think about
the fact we could be
proving Jimmy innocent?
- Mmm.
Yeah.
- Yeah.
- How's the um,
how's the new man?
- Don't do that.
Don't do, don't--
- I'm just askin'.
- I'm...
Tarik.
- [Tarik] Oh, shit.
- Zakhia know you're here?
- It was his idea.
[suspenseful music]
- [Tarik] Get him.
All right, ladies.
We're sending you a picture now.
- That's Argon.
And the woman in the picture?
That's Fiona Leeder.
- That's Darius.
- Well, I guess we know
where Darius has been.
- Could something have
happened to Chris?
- [Tarik] Guess he didn't
make it to Florida, huh?
- Okay.
According to the bus schedule,
the night Jimmy was shot
the bus Ethan says
he missed actually
arrived 30 minutes after
he said it did.
- So he lied.
At least we know where
to start tomorrow.
- No, we don't
know anything yet.
But we will.
[suspenseful music]
- Bastard.
