Pretty Hard Cases (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 11 - Chipped Nails - full transcript

Scrambling to get back on the job, Sam and Kelly's mission to find the real corrupt cop becomes personal when Sam's career is put on the line and Kelly's reputation is at stake.

Zorka. Seventh-generation psychic.

We wanna talk to you about Balda.

She gave me a USB.
I should give it to you.

If my charges are dropped.

Why does Adeline have this?

This is how she got the cartel
to supply the Coyotes the pink cocaine.

"Sell me your drugs or I tell your
macho friends that you like teenage boys."

Davidson and McConnell filed an official
complaint against you this morning.

Hello from limbo.

Adeline French's evidence files
have been scrambled.

So Adeline has someone inside
covering her tracks.



Which means the OCE has a dirty cop.

The Briggs Legacy Center
has a really nice ring to it.

Don't you think?

It's a youth job program
the Deputy Mayor set up to help.

Judes.

Oh, were those the earrings
you were wearing?

Always the sharp one.

A thumb drive containing a virus
was found in your locker.

I'll hand it over
to Detectives Laffert and Harmon.

You're gonna have to surrender
your badge and your gun.

We have to suspend you.

If you think she's a dirty cop,

then you're an even bigger idiot
than I thought.

You're on administrative leave
until further notice.



That's...

With pleasure, sir.

Don't worry.
Your daughter's not expecting you home.

Get up. Richie, let me in. Come on.

Hey, you know that thing where you lie
in the bed and you stare at the ceiling?

'Cause I can tell you something.

I know every crack and water stain
above my bed,

but eventually you gotta get up.

Go away. I'm asleep.

I got breakfast sandwiches.

Food. It works every time.

You know what I think?

I think the right sandwich could topple
an empire or solve ancient differences.

Oh.

What the hell is this?

That, uh...

I thought you were supposed
to get me a breakfast sandwich.

Yeah, it is.
It's a vegan breakfast sandwich.

Oh, yeah, that...
that's like a bacon substitute.

You wanna get that in ya.
That's the good stuff.

No, thank you.
I'll make something later.

It's not like I gotta rush back to work.

Hey, guys. I got that job
at the private airport.

Hey! Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

Yeah, congratulations, Richie.
That's amazing.

Thank you. Um, I'm heading out
to cop some work shoes.

I'm gonna be starting work
in a couple of days.

I'll see you guys later.

Make me proud.

Now I don't even have a job
'cause I'm a corrupt cop.

Oh, come on.

Anyone with half a prefrontal cortex
knows that this is a set-up.

We just gotta prove it.

Come on,
we gotta get back on the job.

Two problems with that.

Professional Standards
and Unit Commander Michaels.

Oh, God, don't remind me.

I wish Shanks never left.

This never would have happened
if she was there.

You're right.

I am right.
We gotta get her back.

Oh, uh, hey, whoa, my man.
Didn't I ask for two creams?

Yeah, and I gave you two.

Eh, I watched you.
You put in one.

Have as much cream as you like.
Be my guest.

Yeah, whatever.

So y'all thought that was funny?

It's all good, man. Just don't shoot
the guy before I can get a muffin, okay?

Yeah, that's my bad.
That's my bad.

My day is off to a crap start.

Oh, yeah? What happened to you?

You know, I thought I was out
when Kelly dumped me.

But she's still finding ways
to mess with my life.

Would you believe I had to use
a vacation day to come over here

to meet with Professional Standards
over something she did?

That's always the way, but...

Duff's in some hot-ass water,
from what I heard.

That's right. It's boiling.

You know what? Good.

Everyone looked at me like I was a devil
when we split.

I'm more than happy
to watch her get a taste of it.

Or if you want,
let me throw this at you.

You can give her a bigger taste.

Maybe even the whole cake.

Hey, look, if we don't stick together
and trust each other,

these females are gonna start
picking us off one at a time.

That's why you gotta beat them
at their own game.

You hear me?

Okay, well, come on, fill me in.

Oh, man, these days,

sexual harassment
grinds anyone's career to a halt.

And it's perfect.

Men are going down all the time,
so why not the women?

Nobody's gonna believe that about Kelly.

Really? They believed it about Shanks.

Wait, are you telling me
Shanks didn't actually harass you?

Look, man,
all I'm saying is she didn't need to.

I only needed to say she did.
That's the beauty.

Thank you.

What did I tell you?

No, I hear you, Ron,
but with all due respect,

it did not take
McConnell and Davidson long to spill.

You could have...

No, you could have
wrapped this up much quicker.

Of course I understand due process.

As a matter of fact, I'm considering
a little due process of my own.

I'm considering filing a lawsuit
about how this whole thing was handled.

No, no, no, no, think about it.

A proud gay Black woman
in a toxic work environment.

No, I am pretty sure
they're gonna stand up and take notice.

No, I'm not joking.

Yes, I do know how much spicy paperwork
it'll put on your desk.

Okay, you know what, Ron?
Aw, Ron. No, Ron.

I-I hate doing this to you.
So how about this?

How about you reinstate me at OCE today?

We can talk about it more calmly.

Okay.

Now I have to dress and get back to OCE
where I belong.

Ooh, first order of business,

um, is that you get us reinstated, right?

So we can get back to OCE.

Where we belong.

Yay.

No, that's not how we do.

What do you mean?

You were suspended. You have
your own due process to go through.

Oh, come on, Boss.
You know I'm no mole for the Coyotes.

I do know that,
which is why I am fully confident

that once we go through
all the necessary steps

that you will be cleared.

Uh, me too, right?

Insubordination is its own beast.

What do you mean? What? Come on.

Look, can you two please just
leave me in peace and let me pack?

I need to get out of this godawful shirt.

What are we supposed to do?
Sit around, drink tea, do our nails?

Don't knock it. I've been
indulging in myself for six weeks.

Oh, Boss, um,
I do have a Crown attorney pal, Bibi.

Yeah, I know Bibi.

So I asked her to find out

which cop got Zorka Farkas' fraud charges
dropped last year.

If Zorka had a friend on the force,

then it might be the same friend
that Adeline's leaning on.

Okay, when she responds,
send it to me and I will take care of it.

Now, the both of you,
go indulge yourselves

and remember who you are
without work.

Unit Commander Shanks
is back in the saddle.

Thank you, ladies.

Yeah!

Look at you, relaxing with
Professional Standards in the house.

This is not relaxing.

I mean, how could Michaels think
that Duff is wrapped up with the Coyotes?

Well, it's now somebody else's job
to look into that.

But we can look into this.

Tobin Myers.

Yeah, I recognize him
from Adeline's party.

Yeah, but we didn't have anything on him.

Until now.

I reached out to Jackie Sullivan
to see if she heard anything.

This guy's been recruiting kids
to transport empty suitcases.

I don't know, man. I feel like
this kids pretty low on the food chain.

There's nothing wrong
with working our way up,

especially now that all the big dogs
are either in the box, in the wind,

- or in the...
- Freezer.

Exactly.

Well, we could use a win right about now.

Yeah.

Hello, Brad.

Edwina.

Boss suits me fine. I'm back.

And if you don't mind, I'd like my seat.

Uh...

This is sudden.

Overdue is the way I'd put it,
but I guess it's a matter of perspective.

And from where I'm standing,
you're still behind my desk.

Of course.

I only meant to ask for a moment
to put in a call to Hill to...

gather my things.

Ron's expecting your call
and Guns and Gangs could use your focus.

And as for your things,
what do you say to an hour?

That's about as much time
as it took you to move in here, right?

An hour sounds perfect.

Great.

Looking forward to working with you again,
Detective Sergeant.

Would you care for a cloth
soaked in ice and eucalyptus?

Oh, yes.

Oh, my God.
Are you gonna start feeding us grapes?

I'm joking, I'm joking. I'm joking.

It's just I feel like I'm Dionysus,
you know, lounging over here and stuff.

- Let me...
- Shh.

Shh. Yeah, sorry.

Mm, mm, mm.

Hey, you were supposed
to leave that in your locker.

I know, I forgot.
I'll just... I'll ignore it.

What if it's Bibi, the Crown prosecutor?

Maybe...

Maybe she found out
who wanted to drop Zorka's charges.

Yeah, I know. I-I'll check later, okay?
I'm still in my chill vibes.

Yep, yep, me too.
Look at me. So chill, so chill.

- So chill.
- Oh, I'm so relaxed, I can't handle it.

Although I could...
I could turn the ringer off.

I mean, if you're gonna turn the ringer
off, you might as well just look.

Okay, I'll just look
while I'm turning the ringer off.

It'd be great.

What'd it say? What is it? What is it?

Beauchamp.

Gabrielle? What? Why?
Why would she try to pin this on you?

I mean, I can think of a few reasons.

Oh, come on, Nathan,
no, no, that's extreme jealousy.

But I was also responsible
for her getting shot.

Well, not really.
But you know what?

If she is involved with the Coyotes,

maybe she's not the sweet,
innocent person that we thought.

You know what?

I did catch her snooping
through Michaels' desk the other day

and it was hella suspicious.

But if she's working for the Coyotes,
why were they trying to shoot her?

Maybe they wanted Gabrielle to shut up.

Mm-hmm.
I think we ought to pay Gabrielle a visit.

We have a few interviews offsite,
so we're heading out for the day.

Will you be here tomorrow?

Absolutely.

Brad.

Yeah.

What are you doing?

Detective Laffert
asked me to drop off this report,

so I'm right here, dropping it off.

A report on what exactly?

I'll let, uh,
PS loop you in on that, Boss.

You wouldn't want to break protocol,

not under
such scrutinizing circumstances.

Thanks for the reminder.

Excuse me, I'm just gonna
run some stuff out to my car.

You know, downsizing.

I trust that's the last of it.

Yeah, it's all yours.

Balls. Balls. Balls!

Hello. I have a copy of the file.

Adeline's last means of blackmailing
the cartel is literally in my fingers.

Grubby.

Need I remind you if these grubby fingers
hadn't scrambled that drive,

the cartel would go down
and so would you.

I'm gonna take you up on that job offer.
I'm assuming it's still on the table.

Head of security. That's right.

Oh, and have we located Adeline yet?

Kind of arrogant
when you think about it, flight.

We pack into oversized mascara tubes
at 30,000 feet.

Just a few inches of metal
between us and the universe.

Human resilience in action.

Or stupidity.

Or both.

Okay, okay, Judy.

You talk so much, I just thought
you'd be a better listener, okay?

No, I-I don't have
my blood pressure medication.

It makes me jittery.

What are you doing, baby? Huh?
It's like you want them to find you.

Word is out now.
The General sees you as a liability.

Now, I've got your passports
and your new IDs.

But we gotta be smart about it.

Okay, so what's the price on my head?
Like, 200,000?

Three hundred?

Well, the rumor is 50 for you
and 100 for the thumb drive.

How budget.

Hey, how are we gonna escape
with every Coyote on the lookout for you?

We're supposed
to get out of this together.

I am so very serious about us.

- We need to find a way out of here.
- We have a way.

Right over there.

I can't have anything nice.

Let's see.

I told you, use your finger pads
when you open up the locker.

I know.

Do you even think Gabrielle's home?

Well, she's not at work. Where are we
when we're not at work? Home.

But she's more balanced than us.

There's no way she's balanced.

True.

Jogging's pretty balanced.

Oh, yep.

- Oh, hey. How's it going?
- Hey.

Good. Oh, we were just driving by
and we saw you, so...

Funny 'cause I saw your car
parked there about half an hour ago.

Oh, like, we were driving by
and we thought it was you,

but then it wasn't you,
and now that you're here,

we're thinking, "Oh, my gosh,
maybe it was you."

Look, we just wanted to come
and talk to you about a few things.

That's it.

You were both suspended.
I can't discuss work with you.

It's cool.

I just wanna make sure that everything
between me and you is all right.

Like, you don't hold a grudge against her
because of Nathan or anything like that.

Nathan and I have our own reasons
for breaking up

that have nothing to do with you.

Okay. Um...

Look, I saw you
going through Michaels' desk.

What was that about?

Why am I being interrogated?
By two suspended cops, no less.

You're not being interrogated,
Gabrielle, okay?

But someone scrambled that hard drive,

and I think it's the same person that had
the charges against Zorka Farkas dropped.

Do you know who that could have been?

'Cause we do.

I was pressured
into having those charges dropped. Okay?

And I didn't feel great about it
at the time.

And then with this investigation,
no indiscretion is too small. I...

I started to feel really weird about it.

Who pressured you to do it?

Brad.

When we were dating.

He told me she was an important informant.

Why couldn't he do it himself?

He wouldn't say.
Lately he's been hovering around me.

I thought it was because
he was still interested,

but I'm starting to think
he's making sure I'm not talking.

Once I realized Zorka was connected
to Will and Adeline, I stopped sleeping.

So are you saying that
Michaels is the Coyote connect?

I'm saying Brad has got
a hell of a lot more answers than I do.

Sergeant Beauchamp.

You must know your romantic history
with Detective Sergeant Michaels

makes this a little more complex.

I understand, Detective.

Do you have anything
to corroborate your claims

that you got Zorka Farkas' charges
dropped on behalf of Michaels?

No.

But I have never had
any personal connection

with Zorka or her kids.

And if you start looking,

I'm pretty sure
you'll find out Michaels did.

I know you still need
to verify my statement,

but I was just doing my job.

Well...

I can't quite believe it.

Right? It's crazy.

Mm.

Did, uh, PS bring in Michaels yet?

- Nope.
- Why not?

Don't know.
They have to play this one right, I guess.

- Have they suspended him at least?
- Didn't have to.

He left a resignation letter
on my desk two hours ago.

Michaels has left the building.

Well, if that doesn't say guilty,
I don't know what does.

Girl...

Okay, please, Boss, we really need
to get back on the job. Please.

Or do you wanna leave Guns and Gangs
to Watts and company?

Come on, you can't be serious.
Michaels totally pinned this on me.

I already talked to Hill
and the guys upstairs.

I need you two on the job
now more than ever.

Thank you.

- Mm-hmm.
- Thank you.

Yes! Yes!

The other way, other way.

- Yes!
- No. Okay.

Okay, so what now?

Well, if we can figure out
the Coyotes' next move,

we might be able
to clarify Michaels' role in all this.

Any new leads?

Yeah, we put a spin team on Tobin Myers,
AKA the Coyotes' chemist AKA Hazmat.

Hey, that's the same van
Hazmat was loading

outside Will's
Port Credit drug lab property.

Yeah, guy's the same height,
same little rat stature.

Whoa, let me see this.

You know them?
We didn't get any hits on the database.

He is Dane Owens from Marshall Court.

Richie said his friends
were involved in something shady.

Well, right now,
those kids are the best lead we have.

All right, now, it's a bit different here
than private airports, okay?

We get the suitcases on bins like that one
and we wheel them on the plane.

Okay. Um, that's cool.
So is it just us two on shift today?

Oh, no.
Most the team started last week.

Hey, Tobin.
I got another one here for you.

Yo, Richie.
You're in this now too?

I thought you're too good for us.

You Richie Clarke?

- Yeah.
- You'll be working with him.

Oh, yeah!

All right, everybody get to work.

Mom, you have been gone for three days.
Why don't you call me back?

Aren't you the one
who prides herself on prompt replies?

I'm getting worried.
Call me back.

Hi, sweetie.
I'm having a blast at St. Anne's.

It's great up here,

even though I ate two pieces of apple pie
and almost threw up.

Remember that time
we were staying in that horrible hotel

and you threw up eating apple pie
because the ice cream was rancid?

Ah, dreamy days, weren't they?

Anyway, I'll be home soon.
Okay? Bye, Sammy.

Sammy?

Hey, you don't sound like yourself.
What's going on? Can you call me back?

And why is your phone
going straight to voicemail?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

What's wrong with you?

Uh, my mom went to St. Anne's Spa

and I don't know what room she's in
or what friend she's with.

You know what?
She probably just needs a break from you.

I don't know, these past few months,
all she can do is guilt trip me

'cause I don't spend enough time with her.

She's probably just trying
to make you miss her.

You know how they do.

In the message,
she called me Sammy.

She hates when people call me Sammy.

Maybe she's needling you.

Yeah, maybe. Yeah, yeah.

Okay, sorry.

So, Judes, what was
the hidden message in your message?

I don't know what you're talking about.
I did exactly what you asked.

I didn't ask you to talk
about apple pie and throwing up.

Well, I was rambling.
I don't have my pills,

combined with being kidnapped
gives me verbal diarrhea, okay?

Hey, Nicky Noodles, do you have that phone
I asked you to get?

Yeah, babe.

I need you to film us.

All right, smile.

Hey, Richie. You good?

Yeah, I'm at that new job, Terminal V,
but something's up.

Whoa, well, what's going on?

You know that cop? The one who tried
to frame me for the shooting?

He's here.

Michaels? Michaels is at the airport?

Yes. I mean, it's not just him.

Dane, some Marshall Court kids.

Last time I checked, they were all
trying to get in on some hustle.

Something suss is definitely going on.

Okay, Richie, listen to me.
You need to get out of there now.

But... what if I'm overreacting?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Listen to me, Richie.

This may be connected to the Coyotes
and if it is, it is not worth it, okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I hear you.

So Terminal V, or whatever they call it,
is Michaels' new gig?

It's all connected.

Michaels was doing favors for the Coyotes
and now he's working at the airport.

We know that those kids
are working for Tobin,

who's the key player
in distributing the Coyotes' coke,

and now they're working at the airport.

It only makes sense
that this VIP terminal

is the Coyotes' new way
of smuggling in pink coke.

Okay, so everything about this gang
says no hierarchy,

but there is definitely
somebody in charge at this airport.

They knew exactly what they were doing
when they hired Michaels.

- Hey, Detective Wazowski.
- Hey.

Armstrong couldn't find you,

said some guy left this for you
at the front desk.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

Okay, so what I think we should do,
if we can get our guys...

Give me... give me a minute.

Hey, Sam? Sam! Wait up!

Sam, what's going on?

Oh, nothing. I'm... I'm...
I just feel a little bit queasy.

- Sam...
- No, I just need...

Duff, I just need a minute.

What the hell is going on?

Okay, but you have to swear
on your whole family

that you will not say anything.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- What?
- I can't take it.

Duff, I don't know what to do.

- We need to alert somebody right now.
- No, no, no, no, no.

No, stop. Stop. Listen.
You swore. You can't tell anybody.

- We have to...
- Wait, no, stop.

She left a note. She left this note.

Sam, we have to tell them.

No, look. Look at this phone.
She left this phone. She's gonna call me.

We don't have time to wait for her to...

Okay. Yeah, just take a deep...

No. Take a deep breath.

Hi, Sammy, it's me. It's Balda.

Where's my mother?

Oh, she's with me. Um...

You know, when I found out
that you and your partner

were very determined to bring me down,
I had to find leverage against you.

And your mother
was so desperate for friends,

it just made her an easy target.

Is she okay?

Isn't it funny
how you bonded with my mother

and now I'm bonding with yours?

Of course, you screwed my mother over
and locked her up.

And I'm usually
a tit-for-tat kind of girl,

but if you do what I ask,
I'm gonna make sure your mom's fine.

Is she taking
her blood pressure medication?

Oh, uh, no, sadly. I think that's why
she's seeming, like, a little bit off.

But as soon as you
get me out of this country,

I'm gonna tell you
exactly where she is.

How? I can't do that.

I need you to put it in the system
that I've been arrested, okay?

And then word's gonna spread
amongst the Coyotes.

They're gonna go underground
in a panic, thinking that I'm talking.

And they'll be far too worried to kind of
notice me slipping out of the country

like a cute, little, sneaky mouse.

I can't make it look like I arrested you.

I'm gonna have to bring you in

and parade you
in front of the officer in charge.

They'll put you in the system
and then I can let you go after.

No, I'm not coming into the station.

Just figure it out and then once
it's in there, the Coyotes will know.

And in case you haven't noticed,
they have, like, people everywhere.

Oh, and I need you to do it
within the next three hours.

Adeline, please.

Just let my mother go.

Tit for tat, Sammy.

And tell nobody.
Or she's gonna die.

Sam, we gotta at least
bring the guys in on this.

We can't do this on our own.

If Adeline killed her own brother,
she will kill my mother in a heartbeat

if we give her reason.

Now, I shouldn't have told you.
I shouldn't have done that, but I did.

And now you're in this with me,
but you promised.

Okay, okay.

Hey, Hanlon, how's it going?

I'm starving. I haven't had lunch.

Go get lunch.

Oh, I'll wait till I get some relief.

Voila, relief's here. Right here.

Uh, that's okay.

Okay.

I'm serious. Um...

Listen, to be honest,
I came in here to avoid a guy

that I'm dating or, like, I was dating.

It's just super claustrophobic.

So listen, take ten minutes,
go grab a sandwich. I got you.

Okay.
Thanks, Wazowski.

Yeah.

And people say you're not cool.

Yeah.

Eight-four-six-two,
eight-four-six-two. Okay.

Eight...

I'm officially corrupt.

No, you're not.

I am.

I'll probably get fired.
There'll be criminal charges.

Sam, you were acting under duress.
It won't go that far.

When my mom said
she was going to St. Anne's,

I should've asked more questions, but...

I was just so happy
that she was out of my hair.

Sam, a watched phone never rings, okay?

And a chipped nail
should never see the light of day.

Hold on.

Hmm?

Nothing looks dumber

than a detective wearing chipped nails.

I don't care.

Give it to me.
Yes, I know you don't care.

It won't match.

- It won't match.
- Hey, hey, hey.

Yes, it will. Okay?

'Cause I bought it at the spa.

All right, just take a deep breath.

Relax, all right?

All right, look at that.
It's better, right?

It's better.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Now walk me through
your mom's message.

Okay. Uh...

She said nothing, really.

Then she said she was fine
and then she called me Sammy.

Okay, but...

That told you that something was wrong,
right? 'Cause she never calls you Sammy.

So she was sending you a message.
What else did it say?

Uh...

Hi, sweetie.
I'm having a blast at St. Anne's.

It's great up here,

even though I ate two pieces of apple pie
and almost threw up.

Remember that time
we were staying in that horrible hotel

and you threw up eating apple pie
because the ice cream was rancid?

Ah, dreamy days, weren't they?

Anyway, I'll be home soon.
Okay? Bye, Sammy.

Is there anything to that?

Uh, nothing. I mean, I don't think so.
I don't know. I don't think.

It's just my mom rambling.

But what about that-that memory?

Was it weird or out of place?
Anything about it?

Okay, I was a kid.

Our flight got delayed

and then we stayed at this
really crappy hotel near the airport.

Where'd you stay?

I don't know.

Come on, Sam, think about it.

I don't know.

I know. I know it's hard, but just try.

Okay, okay, I'll just...

Holiday Home Hotel.

Yeah. She said that she would
never stay in another Holiday Home.

Holiday Home Hotel.

Yeah.

Okay, let's start there.

Yeah.

Okay, Holiday Home.

It doesn't exist anymore.
Now it's called Dream State Inn.

Dream State Inn. Uh...

Dreamy days.
That's what she said in her message.

Do you remember dreamy days?

Dreamy State.

Hotel said two women
matching Adeline and Judy's subscription

checked in under the name Jillian Wood.

Hey. I need to talk to you.

Not now. Something came up.

Well, you okay?

- Hey, need some help?
- Not now, Len.

Kelly. Kelly, you're worrying me.

Yes, of course I'm interested
in the Superintendent promotion.

And yes, I'm more than happy
to attend the seminar,

but we're actually in the middle
of a really big investigation right now

and I just got back.

Oh, we arrested Adeline French?

Yes, yes, of course, yes,
we arrested Adeline French.

Okay, well, great, thanks.
Bye. Count me in. Bye.

Oh, hey. We arrested Adeline French?

Who?

Okay.

Where's Sam and Kelly?

I don't know, Boss.

Apparently someone
just arrested Adeline French

and it's leaked all over the police radio.

That's the first I've heard of it.

Okay, so good thing I came back
'cause nobody knows anything around here.

I just want you to know
that word spread about my arrest

just like we planned.

Where's my mother?

You're gonna have to wait
until I get to where I'm going safely,

and I might be traveling
under the name Balda Andrea Gaylene.

I mean, you don't know,
you'll just have to wait.

Adeline French, hi.
You're under arrest.

Go get your mom.

[By Hanni El Khatib]

Come on, get up.
Hands behind your back. Now.

It's been a while
since you've been to the spa, huh?

Let's go. Adeline French,
you are under arrest.

Okay, now let me...

Hey, I need to get
into Jillian Wood's room now.

Let's go, let's go.

I'll activate her key.

Jillian Wood. That it?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Room 1012.

Excuse me, folks.

Watch your head.

Nicky, I need you
to get these cops off me.

We gotta find the damn car first.

Drop it! Drop it! Now!

Freeze, Niccolo!
Hands on your head.

I said, you're under arrest.

Let's go.

Mom!

Mom!

Oh, my God, Mom.
You're okay.

You're okay, you're okay.
It's okay, it's okay.

I'll be fine.

If I had my gun,
none of this would've happened.

Okay, Mom.

Okay. Bye-bye. Yeah.

Hey. You don't mind staying with her?

I just... I gotta go type a few things.

- I wouldn't wanna be anywhere else.
- Okay.

I'll get it sorted out, then I'll
come back to your place, all right?

Okay.

Bye.

So this is, uh, twice that
you saved my ass in the past few days.

So thank you.

It's an ass worth saving.

For the record...

I also think our relationship
is worth saving.

Len, I can't go back.

Look, even before things ended,
we both know that proposal was too fast.

You were afraid of losing me.

I was afraid that it was
my last chance at a family.

But it wasn't right.

I gotta take care of me.

Right? And if I'm being honest,
I think you could do the same.

That's why I'm gonna
take some time off work again.

I'm gonna do some therapy,
avoid undercover, work on boundaries.

I just get too intense.

It works for the case,
but it screws everything else up.

You know?

Yeah, I know.

I'm happy for you.

I envy you.

Best undercover cop I know,
but you're always Kelly.

You think I got into this willingly?

It was all Ilya. It was...

Will, my brother, and I mean,
the only reason I had that video

of Enrique and his friend
was as insurance.

And now thanks to you,
the Coyotes know I have it

and now I'm the General's newest target.

Let me guess, uh, the General,
that's the head of that Coyote alliance?

The alliance runs itself.

I mean... I mean, some people
are more powerful than others,

and the General
is one of those people.

Is Brad Michaels the General?

I don't know Brad Michaels.

Come on.

He's the guy
that scrambled your hard drive.

He got your mom's charges
dropped last year.

He's clearly trying to help you.

Oh, that. Yeah, I know Brad Michaels.

Maybe he did it for Will.

Or maybe he did it for the General.

Or maybe he is the General.

I wouldn't know
'cause he never told me anything

because Will saw me as a liability.

I can't see why, kidnapping grandmas,
locking cops in a cellar

with the frozen corpse
of one of your victims.

Bishop?

I didn't... I'm sorry.
I didn't kill Bishop.

Of course you didn't.

Will did.

He got into whatever,
shtupping a, you know, undercover cop,

and then things got heated, so...

Is that what happened
between you and Will?

Things got heated?
Is that why you killed your brother?

I didn't kill my brother.

I'm...

I mean,
are you buying what she's selling?

My cart's full, but you know, I'm not
putting my credit card information in yet.

- Right?
- Mm.

In every lie,
there's a little bit of truth.

I'm thinking that that General
is that bit of truth, you know?

And maybe we find the General
before people find out

that I forged arrest records
and get fired.

Well, it'd be a hell of a lot worse
if she actually wasn't arrested.

Let's find out who's running that airport.

I'm on it.

"Terminal V for VIP."
What a bunch of assholes.

Looks like it just opened up this week.

It was supposed to open up
six months ago, but they had delays.

Go back, go back, back,
look at the board of directors.

Oh, that's the forward key.
Press the back. Press the back.

Oh. Look who's the chair of the board.

No way in hell.

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight...

Yo, do you even know
what he's checking these for?

Man, you don't ask questions,
Just do what they say and take the money.

Nah. Yo. I'm gonna quit.

You should too.

I mean, I'm just waiting for my...

Paychecks. I got 'em right here.

End of day, you get yours.

Uh, hey, man. Uh...

What's up?

Uh, the General just arrived.

What are you looking at?
Back to work.

Hey, I guess we get to see boss man.

I don't think it's a man.

So nice to see you, Deputy Mayor.
