Rookie Blue (2010–2015): Season 1, Episode 12 - In Blue - full transcript

This is your rookie evaluation form--

your report card.

It says your training officer
thinks that you're a good cop.

It says one day that he thinks
you're gonna be a great cop.

This is an excellent evaluation, McNally.

Let me talk you through the categories--

problem solving, report writing, uniform--

you got very high marks across the board.

You're not smiling.

I'm sorry. Um...

I'm glad it's a good evaluation.



It's just that...

what happened tonight
really scared the hell out of me.

It should. You had a rough shift.

No, it's not just this one shift, sir.

It's every single shift.

It's like it's all adding up.

It's creeping up on me,

and it just took today for me
to finally see it.

See what?

The cost of doing this job.

(Dov) Any more intel yet?

Negative, and we still don't know
if it's happening before or after shift.

Uh, your tie is on crooked.

I can't get this thing to sit right.



Relax. They can't fire us for not knowing
how to tie a tie, right?

The uniform makes the cop, okay?
Plus it's a clip-on.

I don't know why you guys are so worried.
They're just evaluations.

- Of course. She's not worried.
- Yeah.

No, like, worst-case scenario--
you won't get cut loose.

You'll still have to ride with your T.O.,

or big deal-- you'll get transferred
to another division.

I cannot get transferred, okay?
I mean, this is my family.

3 o'clock. Don't look.
I said don't look.

He's holding yellow forms.
(copier beeps)

What, you think those are them?

Can you--
Honestly, can you relax?

You're gonna know
what he says soon enough.

Those are definitely them.

(copier whirring)

Hey, I think he forgot some.

Well, we should probably take
those back to him right away.

I mean, before somebody else
accidentally finds 'em.

Okay, but we're not looking at them.

"Diaz is great at following the rules,

but he has to step up,
learn to think for himself."

There's no way they're cutting me loose!

See, I told you we shouldn't have read this.

At least yours doesn't say, "I'm concerned
about Epstein's level of professionalism.

He needs to take the job more seriously."

I can't believe Oliver wrote this about me.

Hey, there you guys are.

Everything all right?

- Yes, sir.
- Uh, yes, sir.

Good. Listen, evaluations after shift tonight.

So, uh, go ahead and spread the word.

(door squeaks closed)

So what do we do now?

We got one last shift to serve, protect,

and prove everybody else wrong.

(hands slap)

So then he says that he broke up
with the yoga instructor,

and he wants to clean up his act.

He wants to try again, and...
I mean, I don't know.

Having him around
would make this job easier.

But then there's Jerry, right?

Right?

Do I look like Oprah to you?

You said you wanted me to distract you.

Yeah, with something
that I'm interested in hearing.

Well, you want to give me a heads-up
on my evaluation?

Uh-huh.

Does it say that, uh,

you know, my childcare situation
has made me unreliable?

Or that you question my priorities?

Uh, would I be asking you
to stick a needle in my ass

if I thought that a woman couldn't be
a single mom and a good cop?

(phones ringing)

- Hey.
- Hey, sunshine.

Can I talk to you for a second?

I see "sunshine" was a little off the mark.

Look, you got nothing to worry about.
You're gonna get cut loose.

- Yeah, well, it's actually about my dad.
- Is he okay?

You know how he's been going
to those meetings every night this week?

I went to go meet him there tonight,
and he didn't show up.

I mean, what if something happened?

Maybe he just went to another meeting.

(P.A.) Detective Callaghan,
HQ on line four.

(clears throat) Look, Andy, I'm sorry.
I have to take this, okay?

I'm sure he's fine.

It's a door, McNally.
You knock, it opens.

- (Andy sighs)
- You all right?

Yeah. Nothing a solid ten hours
on the job can't fix.

Yeah, be careful with that.

Putting on the uniform
to get away from your life

makes it harder and harder
to take it off.

Well, thank you for your concern,
but I have no problem taking it off.

I mean...

You know what I mean.

Dad, where are you?

I'm kind of freaking out a little.

All right, please just call me.

I've never seen you do a proper
radio check before, Epstein.

Did you and Diaz
switch bodies or something?

I'm just trying to focus on the job.

(Oliver) Oh.

Did, uh...
(Dov clicks gun clip)

uh, I sleep with you and I forgot to call?

I just want to do the job right, sir.

Mm. All right,
well, let's get right on to the food.

- You get to choose today.
- Yes, sir.

Falafel, burrito...
You want to go for a burger?

- I'm not really hungry.
- And you call yourself a copper?

(helicopter hovering)

It's quiet tonight.

Yeah. I'm just thinking.

I meant the streets.

It's Friday night. Should be busier.

You're not worried about jinxing us?

(scoffs) Listen, you wear this uniform
long enough, you'll see.

The calls come when they come.

No one's calling 911
just 'cause I said it was quiet.

(woman on radio) All available units,
we've got a code 1. 911.

My bad.

Code 1 for a 911 call.

Possible sudden death
at 216 Hillstreet Avenue.

Victim is a teenage girl.
Witnesses are fleeing the scene.

(siren wails)

This is 1515. Show us en route.
Do you have any more info on the call?

(woman on radio) No call back.
Stand by for the 911 patch.

(girl on phone) Oh, my God.
We need an ambulance.

This girl-- oh, my God!
It looks like she's dead!

(gasping) I think she's dead!

(woman on radio)
EMS has arrived on scene.

(siren whooping, tires screech)

(sirens, police radio chatter)

We need you to clear this area!

Everybody, into the living room!

Come on. Let's go. Let's go.

(Noelle) All cell phones in your pockets!
If I see 'em, I take 'em.

(Andy)
Girls, I'm sorry. You gotta go.

Thank you.
Whose party is this?

(Andy)
Come on. Somebody help him up.

You know this girl?

I've never seen her before in my life.

So what's she doing at your party?

Uh, having a good time
like everybody else.

Do your parents know
that you're having this party?

Uh, they're in London.
That's in England.

Oh, well, then I guess
there'll be no one around

to bail your funny ass out of jail.

I really don't know who she is, ma'am.

That's what I thought.
In the living room.

(EMS tech) She's ice cold.
We've already pronounced her.

Looks like she broke her neck
when she hit the ground.

Jumped or pushed?

That's your job.

Thanks.

This is McNally.
We need C.I.B. here.

The victim's been pronounced.

(police radio chatter)

Hey, did you get her name?

No. Anybody who's
sober enough to remember

ran off when they heard the sirens.

(officer)
Hey! Put that beer down!

Here we go.

(officer)
All of you, take a step back.

Her name is Ashley Kennedy.

(officer) Hey, hey, hey,
stand inside the living room.

This is not her ID.

(officer) Keep it down in there!

Tonight's not our night, McNally.

Yeah, there's gotta be some reason why
she has this ID in her back pocket.

I say we go to this address
and see who opens the door.

Uh, I say we let the D's chase that.

We gotta help lock this place down.

Yeah, but there's more
than enough guys here.

Karpenko, Day,
you're on the body.

(man) You got it.

All right, rookie, you take the lead.

According to the logbook,

Mr. Joseph signed in
at 0900 this morning.

No breach of conditions so far.

Okay, thanks.

(cell phone rings)

(ring)

(beep)

Is Leo all right?

You said you were gonna
stay with him all night.

Yeah, I know.
I'm gonna visit someone special.

(slaps phone closed)

I'm at work, Dex.

For you-- lilies, your favorite.

(Traci sighs)

Now come on.
People get flowers at work all the time.

Not cops.

I wanted to see you in your uniform.

Rob a bank.

Look, Trace,
the more I hang out with Leo,

the more I realize what we're missing
not being a family.

And don't we owe it to him
to see if we can make this work?

(sighs)

How about we start with breakfast?

After your shift, just the three of us.

Please get out of here.
Take your flowers.

Ruiz, can you get everybody
into the dining room, please?

Everybody, we need you
to move into the dining room!

Into the dining room, please!
Follow Officer Ruiz.

(Ruiz) You heard the man!
Right through here!

(Gail) Oh, that's encouraging.

These kids are graduating,
and they still can't spell.

(Sam chuckles)

Maybe they go to Spanish school.

Voil?.

(man) Tell them to get back here.

You guys, over here.
You two, over on the wall.

Ma'am, over on the wall.
Put that beer down.

You, hair, let's go.

(Gail) Sir, you should see this!

(Oliver) Okay, I want to see your IDs.

- If your IDs belong to your older brother...
- What do you got?

(Oliver)...or sister,
go in the living room.

This leads up to the roof.

(police radio chatter,
helicopter hovering)

Okay, well,
she must have fallen from here,

'cause it's right over the backyard.

So she's up here
because she wants a smoke,

she needs some fresh air, what?

You really think
she came out here by herself?

I mean, you're at a party full of people,
and you climb out onto the roof alone?

Well, teenagers are idiots.
Anything's possible.

Maybe she jumped.

Maybe.

All right, there's too many people
coming and going down there.

I want you in charge of that body
until the coroner comes.

Well, I mean, I can take statements
and brief the detectives when they get here.

You got a problem babysitting a body?

No. Dead bodies are part of the job.

Okay.

- I mean look at us--
- (Oliver) Everybody, get out your IDs.

putting up party decorations
while he deals with the witnesses.

Well, maybe if I took my job more seriously,
he'd let me question them.

I'm the one who needs to step up.
Remember?

Not if I step up first.

Everybody, against the wall.
Everybody, line up. Make a line.

I got questions, all right?

- (vomits)
- Ohh!

- Sir, I'd like to question the witnesses.
- Me, too.

Well, look at 'em.
They're drunk, and they're freaked out.

What makes you think
they're gonna talk to the two of you?

I speak that language.

Um, I could seize their cell phones,
you know, as evidence,

and not give 'em back to them
until they start talking.

(sighs)

Well, the two of you better
make good on this, all right?

We need these little nobs
to start talking right now.

(officers speaking indistinctly)

(dog barking in distance)

(police radio chatter)

(doorbell rings)

McNally, are you here
to borrow a cup of sugar

or do some investigating?

I'm just trying to look friendly.

Well, you look like a weirdo.

Ashley Kennedy?

Yes?

I'm Officer Williams.
This is Officer McNally.

Can we come in, please?

Sure.

Are your parents home?

Uh, it's just my mom,

but I shouldn't wake her unless it's important.

Can you have a seat, please?

Is there any reason why someone else
would be in possession of your identification?

What do you mean?

May I see your license, please?

Okay, but I don't understand why.

Um...

it should be here.

Could anyone have taken it?

No.

Well, actually, my little sister Julia

asked if she could borrow it
a few days ago, but...

I didn't give it to her, obviously.

And where's Julia tonight?

She's sleeping. She doesn't really
go out when mom's back.

- Back?
- Go wake her up, please.

Okay.

This is exactly why I didn't want
to chase that ID here.

- What are you doing?
- If that girl isn't in her room,

this is gonna turn
into a death notification,

and you're gonna do it.

(lowers voice) What? Me?

Look, they taught you how to do it
in the academy, right?

Yeah, in a classroom.

All right, look,
you-- you sit 'em down,

and you be sympathetic,
but don't drag it out.

I think this is what you're looking for.

This is the hardest thing
that we do in our job. All right?

No matter how it goes, you're gonna
feel like you didn't do it right,

that you didn't do enough.

(door closes)

You can do this, McNally.

Julia's not in her room.

What's going on?

Um, ma'am, I'm Officer McNally,
and this is Officer Williams.

Please have a seat.

Why?

- Is this Julia?
- Yeah.

I'm really sorry to have to tell you this,

but there's been an accident.

Julia was at a party,
and she had a fall.

(voice breaking)
Is she okay?

Actually, she's...
She's not.

I'm sorry, but she's dead.

(camera shutter clicks)

Excuse me, folks.
Excuse me.

(police radio chatter)

(speaking indistinctly)

So, uh, they're almost done here.

You can go in and help
with the witnesses.

I should stay with her--
um, with the body--

un-until they take it away.

Okay. Fine with me.

- (man) I think that's it.
- (2nd man) Okay, yeah.

The coroner's already here.

Yeah, we'll be right down.

What was the cause of the fall?

We're still investigating the incident.
It's really early.

(voice breaking)
I want to see her.

Well, you can see her as soon
as the investigation is complete.

I want to see her now.

I'm sorry, but we need to wait.

You can't just come into our house
and tell us this crap!

(mother) Shut up, Ashley!

If the officer says we have to wait
to see the body, then we wait.

"The body"?

(sniffles) Mom, we're talking about Julia.

(Ashley crying softly)

How do you expect me
to believe she's dead

if you won't let me see her?

I saw her.

It's definitely the girl in the photo.
I'm sorry.

Look, is-- is there anybody
that we can call--

you know, some family
or maybe a pastor or something?

No, there's no one to call.
There's no family,

and my platoon's still over there.

I'm the only one that got leave this time
because I've got kids.

(crying)

(telephone ringing,
indistinct conversations)

(beeping)

Hey. How are the prisoners this evening?

More sleepy than hungry.
You want one?

Mmm. Anything from you.

- Ooh.
- (Traci chuckles)

- Hey, just hang on.
- I just have to touch--

- Jerry.
- What's wrong?

Flowers?

Who'd throw away fresh flowers?

Allergies, something?

Lilies, huh?

- A lot of people like lilies.
- Mm-hmm. There's no--

There's no card.

They're from Leo's dad.

He just came by to talk about
Leo's day care, so...

Yeah, but...
he came here...

and he brought you a...
a bouquet?

I'm trying to be civil to him,
Jerry, for Leo's sake.

He's Leo's dad.

Yeah, but these aren't
child support checks, Traci.

These are...
These are flowers.

Which is why they were in the trash.

All right.

You know, the guy couldn't even take
10 seconds to sign a card.

We need to separate them,

find out all that we can about Julia--

who her friends were,
if she had a boyfriend,

if she was depressed.

Wait. Depressed?
Do you think it was a suicide?

I have no idea, McNally.
That's why we need to ask.

You want to take the mother?

What do I even say?

I mean, she obviously
doesn't want to talk to me.

All right, take the sister.
Find out what she knows.

Um, did Julia have a lot of friends?

Please don't do that.

Don't talk about her in the past tense.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure you probably
just want me to go away

so that you and your mother
can grieve in peace.

My mom's not waiting to grieve.
She's just like that now.

Well, it was probably really hard for her
to be away from you guys so often.

She wasn't always like this.

When Julia and me were little
and she'd come back from her tour,

she'd want us to sleep in her bed.

It was the only way she could sleep,

knowing we were close and safe.

And now?

(sniffles)

Since she reenlisted, it's been different.

She sleeps a lot now,

stays locked in her room.

T.C.O.

(laughs) Totally checked out.

That's what Julia and me call it.
(sniffles)

I don't really know how to ask you this.

Do you think Julia
would ever hurt herself?

What?

Ashley, if we're gonna find out
exactly what happened,

I'm gonna need you to help me.

She would never have done that to Mom.

She just wouldn't have.

(cell phone rings)

(velcro rips)

(ring)

Who is it?

Uh, it's... (closes phone)
It's just a personal call.

Is that how it's gonna be from now on--

every time the phone rings...

(voice breaking)
hoping it's someone calling to say

you made a mistake?

You guys came to the party together?

No. She went to get us some booze first
with her sister's ID.

Which we realize is totally illegal,

and we swear,
we've never done it before.

Did she do that a lot--
Drink? Party?

She used to think
getting crunked was lame.

But lately...

she's been drinking and... stuff.

All right.

I know you guys are scared.

You know that other officer,
the one who took your phones?

He's my BFF.

Now if something happened to him,

no matter how scared I was,

I'd want his parents to know the truth.

There's this guy, Adam.

Julia's been dating him
for a couple months.

He's a total wheel show.
He dates everyone.

- Anyway, they broke up.
- He's a complete douche nozzle.

Was he here tonight?

He took her upstairs.

He said he needed to talk to her.

The next thing we knew,
they were screaming at each other...

like they were gonna
kill each other.

(Sam) You've done this before,
so you know the drill.

Yeah, you take the lead.
I'm gonna ride shotgun.

Yeah. This is just a warm-up.
If he coughs up anything relevant,

we gotta call in the D's.

(door beeps open)

(Sam) Doesn't look good, Adam.

Please, I didn't do anything.

What were you doing up there?
(door closes)

Talking.

(laughs) On the roof?

Upstairs in the--
in the bedroom.

She was super drunk,
and, you know, she--

I told her she shouldn't be drinking,

and-- and she said she felt sick,

and so she needed some fresh air.

So she's super drunk,
but you let her go out on the roof?

Well, she was being all dramatic,
and she was yelling at me

and saying that, you know,
she didn't care if she fell

and, you know, she didn't
care if it was over.

Look, I know I-- I shouldn't
have let her go out there,

but I swear she fell.

And you just ran?

I didn't know what else to do.
I was freaked out.

You could have called 911,
tried to get help,

tried to save her life.

I saw what she looked like down there,

and there was nothing to save.

Nothing to save?

You know that's a human being
that you're talking about.

That's not what-- what I meant.

No, it's not like she's a nobody.

You can't just push a girl off a roof,
walk away and forget about it.

I didn't push her!
It's not my fault!

Calm down. Calm down.

She shouldn't have been
drinking in the first place.

Why not? Why shouldn't she
have been drinking? Huh? Hmm?

She's a girl and...
You know what I mean.

No, I don't know what you mean.

Whatever it is you're not telling us, Adam,

it's time you came clean, okay?

Adam?

Got it.

(beep)

(lowers voice)
Things just got worse.

(whispers) What?

Boyfriend told Swarek
that Julia was pregnant.

Ohh.

He was on the roof with her.
Says she fell.

Yeah, or she was pushed.

Yeah, or maybe she doesn't want
to be pregnant, so she jumps.

No, I don't think she jumped.

Even Ashley said her sister
would never hurt herself.

Okay, so that's what Ashley says.

But maybe her mom knows different.

No, I think she's right.
Look, a parent like that--

stressed out
and head somewhere else--

Julia would have never wanted
to hurt her. I know.

All right. Well, now I gotta hurt her.

How can we possibly tell
those poor people more bad news?

'Cause that's our job.

(sighs)

(somber music plays)

(no audible dialogue)

Are you all right?

(voice breaking)
Yeah. I just want to be alone.

(indistinct conversations)

These kids are gonna be
grounded for life.

Yeah, that's getting off easy.
There's a dead girl outside.

(cell phone beeping)

Man, and none of these kids
saw her fall?

Dude, are you still working
on the cell phones?

Yeah. Manual says you should do
a full inventory of personal property.

Relax with the manual. Didn't you learn
anything from your evaluation?

Come on.

Don't tell me to relax.

I mean, it's not my fault

I don't think following procedure
is a joke, okay?

I mean, at least I do that
instead of goofing off.

Right, 'cause being a mindless grunt
is so much better.

Better than being a child.

I mean, "Hey, dude,
how's the washing machine work?

When's garbage day?"

Garbage day? You have a machine
that crushes up your pop cans.

- So?
- So real men use their hands.

Yeah, well, I guess real men
also date strippers.

Real coppers put their skills to use.

Now, I found out about that boyfriend.
What have you done?

(woman on cell phone video)
Oh, my God!

Whoa, wait, Dov.
I think I found something.

(screaming)

- (man) She fell! She fell!-
- (woman) Oh, my God!

Look.

- (people screaming)
- (man)...something horrible!

Hey, Dad. I saw that you called.

Just give me a call back.

(beep, shuts cell phone)

(distant clatter from downstairs)

Dana?

Sergeant?

Is everything okay?

Oh, my God.

What kind of mother have I become?

Dana, don't move.

Okay, let's just talk about this.

You know, one minute...

you're digging out IEDs...

and picking up body parts,

and the next, your little girl's
standing at the bedroom door

wanting to say good night.

How do you go
from one to the other?

I don't know.

And there's a part of you

that knows...

you should open up to her

because she needs you.

But you can't do it...

because if you crack that armor

long enough to let her in,

then you have to go back over there
with it cracked.

I understand.

(voice breaking)
You don't understand.

How can you possibly understand?

You wait.

You wait another ten years.

You just wait until this job
has ruined every relationship

you've ever tried to have.

You wait until some stranger
knocks on your door

to tell you that your baby's dead.

And the worst thing is...

you aren't even surprised

because everyone you've ever loved,

everyone who's gotten close to you,

eventually turns to dust.

This is not your fault.

(Andy) Oh, my God.

It is my fault...

Don't. Don't.

...because she needed me,

and I wasn't there for her.

Put the gun down.

Mom, please!
No, don't. Get back. Stop.

Put it down. Now.

If you pull that trigger,

all you'll be is a selfish woman

who forced her 21-year-old daughter

to bury her whole family in one day.

Are you gonna do that to her?

Huh?

Are you gonna make her scrub
your blood off these walls?

Are you gonna do that to us--

force us to take down one of our own?

What kind of soldier are you?
(begins to sob)

What kind of mother are you?

Drop the gun, Dana.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. (groans)

You get the body.
I'll get the gun. Okay?

(sobbing) I tried to be a good mother.
(handcuffs clicking)

(Noelle) I know. I know you did.
I know you did.

What-- what are you doing?
It's for her own safety.

- Ashley.
- Mommy.

Oh, baby.

- (Ashley crying)
- (Dana) I'm sorry.

(sobbing) I'm sorry.

(people on cell phone video,
shouting indistinctly)

(Julia laughs)

(man) Come,
I'll make you a drink!

(Julia laughs, speaks indistinctly)

You see?

The boyfriend
wasn't anywhere near her

when she slipped and fell.

Whoo! (laughs, speaks indistinctly)

- (man) Hey! Hey! She fell!
- (screaming)

- (man) She fell!
- (woman) Oh, my God!

All right, so that's the kid who taped it.

He was outside when the fight started.

I guess he thought
it was funny or something.

And donkey here doesn't think
to bring it to us right away?

(Dov) Actually, sir, he doesn't
remember taking the video.

Well, how did you find it?

It was Chris' idea to search the phones.

Oh? Good work, Diaz.

Thank you, sir.

Don't know how to turn this off.

- (Chris) Oh, uh...
- And, you, with the two girls.

Whatever those are,
wipe 'em off your faces.

You gotta get back
for your evaluations.

Hup two, hup, hup.

(crunches)

It's not like I was expecting
a hug or anything, but...

I know, but not even
a hair tousle or a high five?

Yeah.

Hey, for the record,
I do know when garbage day is.

Yeah, man, I...
I was being a jerk.

Me, too.

And the pop can crusher you have...

It's totally awesome.

(laughs) Thanks, man.

(Noelle) You ready?

McNally?

If you hadn't have come in,
she would have killed herself.

You don't know that.

Come on.
Boss is waiting for you.

(Andy)
It's like it's all adding up.

It's creeping up on me,

and it just took today
for me to finally see it.

See what?

The cost of doing this job.

(exhales deeply)
Sit down.

So what are you saying?

I'm saying I'm scared

of what happens when you wear
your uniform too long,

like that woman tonight.

That woman lost a child.

That woman screwed up her life
because she couldn't take her uniform off.

- You think that's gonna happen to you?
- It already is happening to me.

Every night, I lie in bed
weighing my decisions.

That family tonight-- the pain
that I brought into their home--

how am I supposed to just take
my uniform off and forget about that?

You don't.

You've had a heavy year, Andy.

It's okay to be affected by it.

No one expects you to be able
to just brush it off.

Every bad call is--
is like a ghost...

(sighs)

And I know firsthand what shoving
all those ghosts into a closet

can do to a cop.

You mean your old man?

(whispers) I'm sorry.

(voice breaking)
What if that happens to me?

Listen...

the uniform does not make the cop.

Andy, listen to me.

The uniform does not make the cop.

You--

The cop makes the uniform.

There are as many ways to do this job
as there are cops who do it.

Give me the badge.

(thud)

You've been carrying around
your father's badge.

It's a nice gesture,
keeping it in family.

But you need a new one--

your own badge, a fresh start.

But it's up to you.

# I've left all my words to say #

# Back at home, dear #

# But I can take you there #

# And, if for the moment, I #

# Should have left those words
for a quiet prayer #

# It'd be 7 years gone #

# I'd still be asking why #

# I'd still be waiting #

# La, da, da, da-da-da #

# 7 years for one moment just to try #

# I'd still be waiting #

# Oh-ohh #

# That night's a familiar taste #

# In my mouth where #

# Words often keep their place #

# And, if for the moment, I #

# Would've left those words
for a better day #

# It'd be 7 years gone #

# I'd still be asking why #

# I'd still be waiting #

# La, da, da, da-da-da #

# 7 years for one moment #

# Just to try, I'd still be waiting #

# Oh-ohh #

# We faded once one time #

# The truth is I'm still wincing #

# That I only gave it one good-bye #

Ah. (laughs)

Hey. How'd you guys do?

Flying colors, all of us.
Wasn't worried.

Now it's official.
We're all part of the family.

What about you?

Yeah, me, too.

- Yeah? Yeah?
- Yeah! All right!

Um, am I the only one that's terrified?

(Traci) Oh!

(Frank) You've all been judged...

and you've been found...

capable...

(One Republic's "Good Life"
playing)

resourceful...

loyal...

dedicated...

courageous.

So it's with great pleasure

that I cut you loose today.

And in the great tradition of 15 Division,

I say to your training officers...

coppers, cut those ties.

(cheering)

# Oh, this has gotta be the good life,
This could really be a good life #

# Good life, I say oh #

# Got this feeling that you can't fight #

# Like this city is on fire tonight #

# This could really be a good life #

You sure you want to be here?

Yes, sir. I am.

(cheering)

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen--
the new and improved

rookies of 15 Division!

(cheering)

(sighs) All right, Trace.

- Ooh.
- Ooh.

All right, I can't watch anymore.

I'm gonna get another round.
Anybody want?

No, thank you.

Whoa.

(Andy) Wow.

Hate to dominate and dash.

What-- Leo?

Um, sort of.

Oh, nice to see that, uh,
you got your appetite back.

Yes, sir. Cut loose, ready to get...
(singsong voice) crunked.

(normal voice) Ah, that's what the kids
are saying these days.

Right. Well, it's a good thing
you speak idiot.

Kind of came in handy today.

You know, sir, for the record,
I do take my job very seriously.

You know, I actually know that.

You know? And the big, uh,
the big secret to policing

is just you are what you are.

You just gotta make the most of it.

Yeah, think about that
while you're getting crunked.

And by the way, Epstein,

the boss doesn't just
leave paperwork around

unless he wants you to read it.

(clink)

(lowers voice) Did you want me
to give you your shot before I go?

Mm, this is the only shot
that I need for now.

Um, to finally being free of our rookies.

(clinking)
Hooah!

Hooah!

Ah.

Look, I know that I could do it by myself,

but I'm...

I'm just not sure I should.

Are you sure?

Look, you have Dex.

All right, he may not be perfect,
but he's there.

Good night.

- (Sam) Good night.
- (Oliver) Congrats.

- Three more?
- (Jerry) Officer Nash?

An apple martini--
your favorite.

I was just heading out.

Mm. You want some company?

Actually, I'm going to see Leo.

Oh, I thought he--
Dex had him all weekend.

He does, but we're having
breakfast together.

I want to be there when he wakes up.

Right.

I'm sorry, Jerry.

Yeah.

Um, you give, uh,

you give Leo a little--
a little kiss for me.

Yeah.

(door squeaks)

- Okay, so any preferences?
- No, lady's choice.

Ooh. Tequila!

That's what I'm talkin' about!
(Gail laughs)

- Augh...eww.
- (Andy laughs)

- Hey! Congratulations.
- Hi!

Mwah. What did I say?
No sweat, huh?

Oh, very cute even when
you're being patronizing.

Let's get a drink.

(Gail) Thank you.

So have you, uh,
heard from your father yet?

Yeah, he called me
when I was in with sarge.

He just left a message saying
he decided to go to a different meeting.

- And so you were right.
- Hmm.

Well, at least now
you can relax and celebrate.

Yeah, except I have no idea
how I'm gonna tell him

I'm not gonna use his badge anymore.

Oh, come on. He'll understand.

He'll be too proud of you to be upset.

I hope so.

Are you okay?

Yep. Great. You?

Can we get some air?

Sure. Sure.
