Rookie Blue (2010–2015): Season 5, Episode 7 - Deal with the Devil - full transcript

Investigating a firebombing in Little Italy, the rookies find a thumb in a trash bag. Andy faces off with Duncan at his hearing; Chris ditches work and Dov goes after him, forgetting Chloe's birthday.

Angus, we're celebrating, my friend.

Could I have another round, please? Andy!

Angus, three. Buy one for the lady.

Hey-hey!

Sammy, I am a man of the people,

and the idea of sliding these chiseled abs

back into a blue shirt makes
me so happy, I could weep.

What are we celebrating?

Oliver's last week in a white shirt.

- Come on.
- Yes.

- I liked that you were the boss.
- I'll always be the boss.



Just now in a Springsteen kind of way.

- Thank you.
- And...

A little something extra
on the house, right?

As always, a rock star, Angus.

- Thank you, man.
- You got it.

Always, always.

- And it's not just the hair, pal.
- I love the hair.

Mock all you want. Tip large.

- Oliver.
- Hey.

Your reign was short but so, so sweet.

The king is dead!

Long live the king.

Hey, guys. Hi.

Good morning. How are you?



Nick Collins. How are you, man?

Did you catch that game last night?

- Which game, sir?
- Nice, buddy. Up top.

All right.

Parade in 10. Do not be late.

Hey.

Are you out of your mind?

In what way, Inspector?

I make you an offer like
that and you turn me down?

Ah, John, I belong on the street.

Look around, Oliver. It's working.
Things are running smoothly.

Your officers love you,

they'd do anything for you,
and that makes my job easier.

I... I understand that, Inspector,

but, you know, the white
shirt's just not in my DNA.

It's not, and I'm okay with that.

I am okay with that.

Today is day two of Operation Cannoli.

Do you mean cannelloni?

No, I mean Cannoli.

It's a pastry tube filled with cream.

What is a cannelloni?

Pasta tube filled with cheese.

Ah, copy that.

We are investigating a
fire-bombing in Little Italy.

A witness I.D.'d this
man, Vincenzo Pizzuti...

A.K.A. Vinny the Quitter
...fleeing the crime scene.

- The problem is...
- Hey, hang on.

Why is he called Vinny the Quitter?

Well, he used to be
called Vinny the Smoker.

Problem is, we can't find him.

So, a few of you are gonna help
our D's expand their search.

Collins, I want you to take Price

down to the Tre Voci Sports
Club and have a look around.

Whoa, whoa, wait.

Does that mean that I'm
finally off desk duty?

Happy Birthday.

Peck, you too.

Sorry. My birthday's in November.

I mean you're going, as well.

Assignments are on the board.

McNally, you're with me.

Where's Diaz?

Somebody should tell him to get off his ass

and into work while I'm
still in a good mood.

Hey. Hey, hey.

I got the letter from
Professional Standards.

Um, Duncan's dismissal
hearing is in two weeks.

Okay, we'll be prepared.

No, I really think we
should go over our paperwork.

No, we're gonna be ready
because I am amazing,

and you are Andy McNally, A-type goddess,

organizer of piles and...

de-clutterer of, uh...

- I dunno, clutter.
- What's happening?

Well, I can't pass this off
to my successor like this,

whomever it may be.

And you... take this as a compliment...

are the most anal copper that I got.

Sorry. Are you asking
me to clean your office?

I could... I could order you to do it,

but that seems a little shameless.

Here we go.

3-0-3-1.

Hey. While you're in there,
can you bring me back a Cannoli?

Thanks for calling,
Gail. That's very helpful.

Officers, what can I do for you?

Oh, we were just in the neighborhood.

Thought we'd drop in, say hi.

You know what? Actually,

have you, uh... have you seen that
friend of yours, Vincenzo Pizzuti?

Why? Is he in trouble for something?

Well, we want to talk to
him about a fire-bombing

that happened in Little Italy on Sunday.

What kind of an animal
would do something like that

on the Lord's day?

Hey.

On the house. Prego.

Thank you, but, no, we can't accept.

Kid, it ain't the banana in the tailpipe.

It's just coffee.

You know, I bet you like coffee.

Mm. I've had enough, thank you.

You know, I got a son.

Oh, yeah?

- He's a real catch.
- I bet he is.

Handsome, like his father.

You Italian?

No. Portuguese.

- Forget about it.
- Hey, uh, Mr. Grassi,

you mind if we take a
look down in your basement?

Please, call me Mario.

And, yes, I do mind.

Unless you got a search warrant.

I'll tell you what. Leave me your card.

If Vinny shows up here, I'll call you.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, thanks for the hospitality.

Oh, my God.

You know that "Q" comes before "S," right?

Yeah. It's just,

I think it's an "end of the
alphabet" kind of letter.

"Q" should be after "S."

Professional standards just phoned.

They've moved up the
hearing. It's in two hours.

- What?
- What?

Professional standards, Duncan,
his lawyer, your union rep...

they're all gonna be here soon.

I suggest you get your notes in order

because the kid's career is on the line.

All right, just remember, Duncan,

he's the only one on trial here.

- And you just got to tell the truth.
- Okay.

Oliver, I got to tell you something.

I mean, I was gonna speak to the union rep

when I met him and then
figure out how to tell you.

I just didn't know that my hearing

- was gonna be this afternoon.
- Ugh. Spit it out, McNally.

I fudged some of Duncan's
performance reviews.

To make him seem worse?

No. To make him seem better.

McNally, that's bad.

I know.

What'd you guys get?

Well, we asked around,
but they weren't having it.

Went inside to have a look,

but without a warrant,
there's not much we can do.

The owner shut us down.

Yeah, our hands are pretty much tied

unless we can get a search warrant.

You know what? I can't hand-hold
you guys through this today.

No, I got too much on my plate.

Show a little initiative and figure it out.

Initiative. All right.

Sounds good.

Okay, I'm just spit-balling here,

but how about we just,
like, pull the fire alarm

and see if Vinny runs
out? What's happening?

Hey, hey!

Whoa! Hold on a second.

We're gonna take these.

Want to grab those two?

What's the plan, Nick?

What is all that?

Oliver told us to show a little initiative,

- so we took Mario's garbage.
- It stinks.

Public property, so we
didn't need a warrant.

Yeah, I'm gonna go write that report.

That's good.

Dig around. See what you can find.

Okay, but, um, Swarek, Swarek...

It's my birthday.

I don't really want to
smell like garbage all day

because Dov is, well... I think Dov is...

Happy Birthday, Price.

...planning something, so...

This is a traffic stop,

and you said that his performance

was "satisfactory with
room for improvement."

Is that true?

- It's this one.
- Wait. Which one?

- No, you shouldn't even touch this.
- Okay.

It's... it's right here.

Yeah, traffic stop with a broken taillight.

Uh, yeah. There was a soccer mom

with two kids in the back seat.

When she went to go
reach for the registration

in the glove box, Duncan
actually pulled his weapon.

I mean, the kids thought it was hilarious,

but obviously she didn't.

That... that is "satisfactory
with room for improvement"?

Okay. All right.

Well, next one. Uh, this is a robbery call.

It's February 5th,

and you're backing up Diaz and Collins.

- Yep.
- Yep.

Yep. Um...

After we cleared the house,

uh... Duncan used the bathroom.

Okay. Let me guess...

"satisfactory with room for improvement."

I mean, look, I don't even know why
he's going ahead with this hearing.

Okay, when I ran into him last week,

it seemed like he'd given up.

- Oh. What? What... what did you say?
- What?

I ran into him at the Penny last week.

So you talked to him after he
was suspended from active duty?

It just happened.

- It just...
- It did.

He was paying his tab, and I...

I didn't plan on running into him.

I told you not to talk to him.

I was just trying to be civil.

What?

Uh, sir, it's your wife... your ex-wife.

Zoe's here.

Do not move. Do not touch anything.

I'll be right back.

Zoe, what's going on?

It's your daughter.

She got suspended from
school for two weeks.

- What happened?
- It's totally bogus.

Apparently, her and her friends crashed
an assembly with the superintendent

in nothing but their underwear and these.

It was a performance-art protest

because they are cutting the drama program

and giving all the money
to the stupid football team,

which I told you about,

- and you said to do something.
- You put her up to this?

No, no, no, no. You know what I meant?

I meant you write a letter, go grassroots.

Uh, dad, you said, "take initiative,"

so that's exactly what I did.

You created the problem.
You can deal with it.

Today is really not a good day.

Too bad. I'm back at work now.

I'm not the boss like you.

- I got to get back there before I get fired.
- Zoe...

Unless you want to
renegotiate support payments.

- Look. It's great.
- Yep.

Come.

Sir, I could take her if you want.

She'd eat you for breakfast,
Epstein. Open this.

Peck.

Y... yes, sir?

You're gonna put Izzy to
work for a little while, okay?

Why? Can't we just hang out
in your office or something?

We're not doing that.

Well, then can I just go home?

Uh, you know, I'm not gonna reward you

for getting kicked out of school. Sit down.

Hey, how come Chris can't do it?

He's great with kids, especially
when they're not really his.

Epstein!

Is Diaz here yet?

I'm sure he's on his way.

Whatever is going on with that guy,

he better figure it out!

I am done being Mr. Nice Guy!

Peck.

I am entrusting you with my firstborn.

Please, don't let me down.

How's your prep coming?

Uh, it's going fine.

Who's that?

That is my daughter.

What's she doing here?

Uh, she is here because she
got thrown out of school.

It was... it's an art project.

She's at that age.

Yeah, my niece was the same.

I told her mother send
her to Vandeen Academy.

Have you heard of it?

It's a great alternative school.

They channel all that "creativity."

It's a bit pricey but manageable
at a staff sergeant's salary.

Bu...

I just threw up in my mouth.

I actually just threw up
in my mouth a little bit.

Big birthday plans tonight?

Uh, well, Dov has kept it all on the D.L.,

which means it'll probably be epic.

But, honestly, I'd be happy
with my old birthday tradition.

Oh, yeah? What's that?

Well, don't laugh.

- It's kind of dorky.
- I won't laugh. I swear.

I like to eat popcorn and
watch "The Breakfast Club."

Oh, that's very sweet.

It is dorky, but it's sweet.

Oh, my God!

What? What is it?

I think it's a penis.

Huh.

It's a thumb.

I thought it was a penis.

It's a thumb.

Can you get a print off it?

I think there's too much tissue damage.

It should be enough to
get us a warrant, at least.

They got Al Capone for tax evasion.

Yep. All right.

I want you to get over there right now,

tear that place apart, and
bring me whoever's inside.

Vinny, nice to see you.

- I didn't do anything.
- Oh, yeah?

Then why were you hiding
in the wine cellar?

Because I like wine.

Okay. You know what?
You're gonna come with us.

How many guys we got?

We got seven.

How many thumbs?

14.

Watch your head.

Vinny the Quitter.

Congratulations on kicking the habit.

Did you, uh... you do it with gum or

the patch or just go cold turkey?

I thought you brought me
here to talk about a thumb.

You like Italian food, Vinny?

What is this, a joke?

Somebody fire-bombed a restaurant

on College Street Sunday night.

They threw a molotov cocktail
right through the window.

I figure anybody who'd do
that must really hate the food.

Wouldn't know anything about that.

I was, uh... I was at
the cemetery that day,

visiting my mother.

- Really?
- Yeah.

All day?

I don't like to talk about it.

I'm still grieving.

You guys are usually pretty
meticulous. I don't get it.

We both know I didn't do anything.

That's funny, because we have
a witness who says different.

Ask her again.

I didn't say it was a female.

Gonna be safe... yeah...

yes, you're gonna be safe
'cause we're gonna protect you.

You know, you're...
you're already involved.

Fine, fine, fine, fine. Forget it.

Yeah, forget it.

They got to your witness.

My only witness.

Without her, I don't have a case, so...

It's over.

We've still got a thumb.

Did you at any point suggest

that Duncan should drop his
wrongful-dismissal claim?

Maybe I made a joke.

Maybe? Okay.

That's your defense? You're
gonna go with "maybe"? Okay.

Maybe you were trying to
coerce him down at the Penny.

Maybe you... you could get him to drop it.

Maybe you were so far in over your
head that you made him seem better

so you could cover your own
inadequacies as a training officer.

Whoa. Inadequacies?

Maybe. Maybe... that's
what they're gonna go with.

No. Hold on a second.

He was making rookie mistakes.

That's what I thought.

- Okay.
- That almost got you killed.

Fine, fine. But that's
when I said something.

Didn't I? Here's the thing.

If I wrote down every stupid,
bumbling mistake that he made,

he would've looked like
a complete screw-up.

- He's a total screw-up.
- Well, you know what?

I didn't want him to
be labeled as a failure

without even having a
chance to prove himself.

Good.

Professional standards, if they press you,

you say that... exactly that.

You keep it brief.

You know, listen, Andy, I totally get it.

Okay? You were trying to help him out.

- You were trying to give him a shot.
- Yeah.

What you weren't doing was your job.

Um, I missed lunch,

so I was wondering if you could make me

one of your PB&Js with the chips inside.

Okay, Izzy, I'm just a
little bit busy right now.

- Well...
- I know. Peck! Peck!

Sir, I... I told her to stay at my desk.

- Oh, Uncle Sammy, hey.
- Hey, what are you doing here?

Oh, I'm considering a
job in law enforcement.

Gail, take this to the morgue.

- Absolutely not.
- See if Holly can get a print off it.

- Is that a thumb?
- It's a thumb.

Great idea. Hit a
drive-through on the way.

Take Izzy with you. Take it. Go.

Izzy, go with her.

- What?
- Fine.

- Yeah. Off you go.
- You stay close behind me,

or I'm gonna put you in
the back of my squad car.

What is that smell?

I'm smelling a smell.

Uh, Collins and Price... why... why...

why does my parade room look like a dump?

Uh, it's the wall colors, sir.

They wash everything out.

Professional standards is
gonna be here really soon.

This place has got to be spotless.

I want it spotless.

Hey, Chris, it's me again.

Just starting to get a little worried.

Can you give me a call back

and let me know where
you are when you get this?

Thank you.

- Well?
- "Well" what?

Where's Diaz? Why
haven't we heard from him?

I just talked to him.

Turns out he's got a head
cold, and it's really bad.

Okay. Is there a reason
he didn't phone it in?

Yeah, he took some meds last night.

They made him really
drowsy, so, you know, he...

he slept through the morning.

Diaz called in sick.

Food poisoning. Puking all morning.

Those aren't cold meds.

The tissue's atrophied quite substantially.

I'm gonna have to get Dr. Stewart.

You can't just do it yourself?

Oh, I'm not certified.

You can't just try, Rodney?

Come on. See what happens.

I'm getting Dr. Stewart.

Slacker.

Whoa.

Hey!

He's really dead. What?

This is a human being. Show some respect.

Correction... he was a human being.

Actually, the term "human"

refers to our species in general,

so, dead or alive, he's still human.

Who are you?

Uh, Izzy Shaw, teenage delinquent.

No food or drink in the lab.

It's, um, so good to see you.

So, you've got a thumb.

Yep.

That is a thumb.

I'll rehydrate the tissue.

Any luck, there's enough
left to give us that print.

You two used to bone?

Please don't use that expression.

What, did it offend you?

No. It's just inaccurate.

Mr., uh, Grassi, do you
know why you're here?

Nope. I don't.

Well, for one, we found Vinny Pizzuti

hiding in the basement of your café.

I never go down there. Too damp.

Yeah.

But I'm really glad
that you caught your guy.

Yeah, actually, we hit a snag,
which I'm sure you've heard.

Our witness recanted.

Ooh. That's terrible.

Yeah. Seems, upon further reflection,

she did not see Vinny
fire-bomb a restaurant.

You know, years ago, I
used to sing that song...

"How do you solve a problem
like Maria?"... for my kids.

And one day, I heard the song,

and I found out that I
had all the lyrics wrong.

Well, memory is fleeting.

That's right.

Yeah.

We also found a thumb in your trash.

Oof! That's gonna be bad for business.

I mean, who's gonna want to buy cannoli

from a guy who throws out thumbs?

Am I right?

You don't seem too bothered by that.

No, no, no, I am very bothered by it.

And I would really love to help
you get to the bottom of this,

but I don't know anything
about that, either.

I feel like I'm gonna throw up.

Hey, you are gonna get through this,

and I am getting out of this shirt.

Superintendent Brooks.

How are you?

- Staff Sergeant Shaw. Good to see you.
- You too.

By the way, thanks for
expediting this hearing.

I have a family emergency.
I have to fly out tomorrow.

We look forward to settling the matter.

We're all set up in the parade
room. It's right over there.

Great. What do you say? 20 minutes?

Great.

- Thank you, Brandon.
- Ma'am.

That's Sharon Kaplan.

She's the best lawyer on
police services payroll.

Let's go.

Great. So Duncan gets
some hot-shot lawyer,

and mine hasn't shown up yet?

His stepfather is the police commissioner.

And I'm sure he'll be here any minute.

Sorry for the delay.

Hey.

Barry Bradley, union rep for Officer...

- McNally.
- McNally. Right.

Andy.

Barry Bradley.

Um, we spoke on the phone. Didn't we?

- Yes. Last week.
- Yes. Great.

It's all coming back to me now.

You must be Staff Sergeant Shaw.

Wow. That's a mouthful.

Okay, then, let's get started, shall we?

I'm here today to determine the validity

of Staff Sergeant Shaw
and Officer McNally's claim

that Officer Duncan Moore

is unfit to serve and
has committed misconduct,

specifically neglect of
duty, item 2-C in our code.

I would like to make a
decision by the end of today.

That's excellent.

We are more than eager for
everyone to hear the truth.

I thought this was gonna be way cooler.

That should do it.

I'll see if I can get that print.

Yeah, okay.

Can I just go wait in the car?

No.

I'm bored. I just want to
go hang out with my dad.

Well, your dad dumped you on me,

so obviously he feels a little different.

Hey, Sam.

I just got off the phone with Gail.

- The lab got a print.
- What?

The thumb belongs to Mario Grassi's son,

also named Mario.

He goes by "Little Mario,"
for obvious reasons.

So Junior's thumb gets cut
off and ends up in dad's trash?

You think Mario cut
off his own son's thumb?

Uh, no. I doubt he even knows about it.

So the question is, then, who did?

Where's Junior now?

York region's picking him up.

He should be here in 20. How's Andy doing?

- Who knows?
- We're ready.

Go ahead, Ms. Kaplan.

Duncan was your first
assignment as a training officer?

Yes, ma'am.

Do you think his performance suffered

because you were new at the job?

No, she doesn't.

Mr. Bradley, we need to
hear it from Officer McNally.

No, ma'am.

I don't think that was the case.

Why not?

Because I don't think
that Duncan was willing

to learn from me or anyone else.

So all of a sudden, you
know everything about me?

That's not what I said.

I don't think Officer Moore

ever really bought in to
the rookie/T.O. dynamic.

And I don't think that he was prepared

for the stresses of this job

or was ever really willing
to put himself in harm's way.

Okay. So now... now
she's calling me a coward.

You're just gonna sit
there and just let her...

It's her turn. She's
just giving her version.

It's not my version. It's
exactly what happened.

I called you for backup, and
you turned off your radio.

I told you, the battery was dead.

And I checked it, and it wasn't! I checked.

You left me hanging, okay?

I had a 12-year-old witness in there

with an armed gang member.

All right, all right, let's
all just take a breath.

We'll agree that the facts are in dispute.

They are, as are many
other "facts" in this case.

Officer McNally,

are you aware that there are some

discrepancies in your reports?

We are aware, yes, that there
were a few occasions early on

when Officer McNally's performance reviews

of Officer Moore's were too generous, yes.

And once again, I would like
to hear it from Officer McNally.

Yes, ma'am.

I was concerned

that Duncan would be labeled a failure

before he really had a
chance to prove himself.

I just wanted to make sure

he had every opportunity to succeed.

Hey, I... I just wanted
to say thank you for today.

It's my job.

Yeah, and if you're not busy later,

I'd love to take you out
maybe for a drink and...

I don't know... apologize.

You had a chance to apologize...

the day after you walked out on me

or the week after...

or any one of the times I
called and you didn't pick up.

I know. Just... just give me a chance,

- 'cause I really want to explain myself.
- Gail...

I'm seeing someone.

I'm sorry.

That's fine.

Izzy!

We made a list of all the discrepancies,

so you can see that

in no way did Officer
McNally mislead anyone.

Thank you, Staff Sergeant.

As you know, my client's already
given his written statement

about the matter of his dismissal.

- Brandon?
- Yes,

the same one we filed with
your offices three weeks ago.

Read it.

I think you'll find that there's been

an interesting development since then.

Officer McNally sought out
and spoke with my client.

I did not seek him out.

Officer Moore will outline
exactly what happened.

Officer Moore?

Yeah. Um...

I, uh... I went to the Black Penny.

That's our local bar. I went
there to settle my tab, and...

Andy saw me and...

and started to talk to me about the case.

Did you think that was appropriate?

No. But she, uh...

she wanted to bury the hatchet,
so I decided to let her talk.

What'd she say?

She admitted that the
whole thing was her fault.

- I did not say that.
- Why would she do that?

I don't know. I... I
guess... I guess she just...

she wanted to clear her conscience.

You don't know, and you guess.

How can we believe any of this?

With all due respect, Superintendent,

I wouldn't have allowed my client

to even mention it if we
didn't have irrefutable proof.

Really? What proof?

I recorded it on my phone.

What?!

G... given that the evidence
was not formally submitted,

I don't see how we can allow this.

Staff Sergeant, you said you were eager

for everyone to know the truth.

Is that the case or isn't it?

I'm going to allow it.

What does he got on you?

I don't know.

Okay.

Want to tell me how that happened?

Yeah, I got it caught in a meat slicer.

At your father's café?

No, I was... I was at
home, making a sandwich.

Tell me about Vincenzo Pizzuti.

He works for my father.

What does he do for him?

He's a punk.

He runs errands,

kisses my dad's ass, and that's about it.

Burns down buildings?

I don't know anything about that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't
know anything about it.

What'd the kid have to say?

Lost his thumb in a meat slicer.

I haven't heard that one before.

Thing is, junior's not too keen on Vinny.

Well, that's something.

Have a seat, Junior.

What's... what's going on?

Mr. Grassi, I was very sorry to hear

about your meat-slicer accident.

Thank you.

Is it just me, or is it really dry in here?

In case you get thirsty.

Wait, wait, wait. Where you guys going?

Crime doesn't sleep, Mr. Patootie.

We have other matters to attend to.

Let me help you.

Look, kid...

If you're gonna...

use a meat slicer,

you gotta pay attention
to what you're doing.

You can't be texting your girlfriend.

My father took care of that.

The point is,

the girlfriend shouldn't
have been there to begin with.

You lay a hand on me ever again,

it's your funeral.

So Vinny cut off Junior's thumb

for screwing up the fire-bombing.

You think Mario Sr. knows?

Let's find out.

Gesu mio.

I'm okay, Pop. It's nothing.

I... it was your thumb they found?

Mr. Grassi, please have a seat.

Mr. Grassi, I want to extend
my heartfelt condolences

regarding your son's accident.

It's a tragedy.

No child should lose an
appendage to a kitchen appliance.

I'm sorry.

What does... what does any
of this have to do with me?

Go ahead, Junior. Tell your dad.

You did this to my son?

No, Mr. Grassi, I didn't...

Did he do this to you? Huh?

- No!
- Shut up!

I asked you...

did he do it?

Junior, you're obviously a smart kid.

I have no doubt you're gonna adapt

even with one mutilated hand.

Glass half full.

Detectives, I, uh...

I want to speak with you.

Privately.

You know that incident that, um,

you asked me about before?

The fire-bombing in Little Italy?

Yeah, your witness said

that she saw Vinny there and
then she changed her mind.

Yeah. Something must've spooked her.

Well, whatever that thing was, uh...

I don't think it's gonna
be a problem anymore.

Hmm.

Detective Nash, would you
like to cuff Mr. Pizzuti

- and show him to a cell?
- I'd love to.

Please stand, Mr. Pizzuti.

Hey, Andy. How you doing?

Uh, crappy.

You?

Uh, I just feel like I let everyone down.

You know, like my stepdad, Staff, you.

Come on. I mean, these things are...

- Maybe it was me.
- No.

Yeah. I mean, I never
trained an officer before.

I can't help but think that maybe
if I'd communicated better or...

You'd have done different
things, though, you know?

What if I was a different T.O.?

Would you do it differently?

Yeah, maybe. I don't know.

Look, my job was to get
you ready and you weren't,

so...

I guess I'm afraid that your
mistakes are really my fault.

You are unbelievable.

If I ever doubted that
you were a coward before...

- No, no, hold on.
- Andy!

- You lied about me!
- Andy!

- You said it yourself.
- What was I supposed to do?

I didn't lie about you!
I lied to protect you!

Officers, that's enough!

- You just tried to make yourself look good!
- Stop!

Either way, it's clear that Officer McNally

submitted less-than-truthful
performance reviews

and has now admitted
...on camera, in fact...

that she failed Officer Moore,

not the other way around.

Certainly seems to contradict
some of the testimony

that she gave here today.

I may need to expand the
scope of this investigation.

What does that mean?

Superintendent, can we take a short break?

That's a good idea.

Yes, I think we could all use a few minutes

to consider the implications
of what we've just seen.

Yeah, right here.

He set me up.

No, he didn't run into me at
the Penny by accident at all.

Okay, he knew exactly what he needed me

to say to make his case.

No, he's not that smart. He's connected.

Somebody put him up to it.

So what? Now he's gonna get his job back?

Maybe.

Are they gonna come after me?

I don't know.

Peck, yes.

I've been trying to reach you.

- What is it?
- Izzy's gone.

- Where did she go, Peck?
- I don't know.

She just took off from the morgue,

and I... I checked the school,

I... I went to your
house and even called Zoe.

- We're ready to reconvene.
- I just need a second! Just a second.

Everybody out. Go.

- You want me to go in with...
- Yeah, I'll be one second.

Andy, don't say anything.

Izzy, it's me. I am so sorry I didn't...

I didn't... I didn't pick up your calls.

Can you call me when you
get this, please? I...

I need to know that you're okay. Okay.

I take it it's not going well.

Some things were said about
Officer McNally in the hearing...

things that were taken out of context.

Superintendent Brooks is,

and I quote, thinking of "expanding
the scope of the investigation."

That's committee speak.

She wants to open an investigation

into Officer McNally's conduct.

That can't happen.

McNally's one of the best cops
that I got in this platoon.

Oh, next week, it won't be a problem.

It won't be your platoon.

- What if I changed my mind?
- Meaning?

You have all the power,
John. You're the inspector.

You can suspend Duncan's
inquiry, make it all stop.

Tell professional standards that
we'll handle this matter internally.

Yeah, you say that...

I'll take the job.

I can accept those terms...

If you take Duncan back.

That kid is not right for this job.

Look, you retrain him, you
bench him, I don't care.

A staff sergeant cannot be making enemies

of the police commissioner,
and neither can an inspector.

You understand?

Yeah.

- John.
- Helen, good to see you again.

Uh, I've spoken with Staff Sergeant Shaw,

and we've decided to handle
this matter internally.

You're suspending the hearing?

Yes, I am. And I

truly apologize for taking
up so much of your time.

And how exactly are you
"handling" the matter?

By giving your client his job back.

What?

Is that true, Staff Sergeant?

This is all my fault.

I appointed Officer McNally

as Moore's training officer.

She wasn't ready.

If you'll excuse me, I have a
personal issue to take care of.

Excuse me.

Hey, you just sold me out in there!

I tried to fix some major
screw-ups in there...

major his, mine, and yours.

These are your mistakes.

I know that kid is a complete disaster,

but you filed false reports...

And managed to get yourself caught on tape

taking responsibility for everything.

You actually meant what you said?

If you were ready,

you would've known better.
We wouldn't be here right now.

Oliver...

"Staff Sergeant" or "Sir,"

not Oliver, not here.

She's outside. I had
the guys ping her phone.

Why didn't I think of that?

Forgot your thumb.

Thank you.

Did you find her?

She's outside.

Couldn't pay me to go back to that age.

I still act that age.

Come on. It's true.

I'm an impetuous, um...

I'm self-destructive.

I'm a... I'm a brat.

- Okay, you don't have to explain.
- No, it's... it's not okay, and...

I don't want to end up
a sad, sorry woman who...

who threw away the most
wonderful person she's ever met.

Good night, Gail.

I made this CD for you like five years ago.

I can't believe you're
still listening to it.

This is a wicked CD. I love this CD.

How did you get my keys?

I picked your pocket this morning.

Hmm.

You got to be more careful.

Mm.

Hey, you want to tell me
what's really going on?

I dropped by your house to tell you

what I was gonna do today.

And...

I walked in to candles and incense.

And, you know, at first,
I thought I was walking

into something way grosser.

But it was Celery.

And she was...

She was what?

Performing a fertility ritual.

I know. She told me not
to tell you, which...

I don't... I don't see you anymore, so...

- You know, if you're gonna have another baby...
- We're not having a baby.

You're not?

Not... not... not as far as I know.

Although, I mean, clearly...

Celery and I need to have a conversation.

Do you want to just hang out?

Or do you still have to help Andy?

Want to go to art school?

What?

Let's go get some cheeseburgers.

We'll hang out. We'll hang out proper.

We're due.

You rock.

Hey, Nick, have you seen Dov?

Yeah. Yeah, I saw him a little while ago.

He said he'd meet you outside.

No, I checked. He's gone.

Oh. Then I don't know. Sorry.

I spend all day digging through garbage,

and then my boyfriend ditches me.

Best birthday ever.

Hey, Chloe,

this was at the front
desk with your name on it.

- Have a good night.
- Thank you.

See? He came through.

Happy Birthday, Chloe.

You too.

Hey, man.

What's going on?

Hey.

I was just playing a little poker.

Why? What's up?

Nothing. Brought your truck home.

Oh, thanks.

I went out straight after work last night.

I was gonna pick it up today,

but then I... got hit
with the stomach thing.

Yeah, I heard about that.

You feeling okay?

Yeah, way better now. I
just needed to sleep it off.

Hey, do you want to...

get a bite to eat or something,

maybe get a pitcher and some wings?

I haven't eaten all day.

Well, what about your game?

It's fine. I can cash out.

Can I play a hand for you?

I'm starving, man.

I... I would... I would go right and...

What are you doing?

It's none of... it's none of your business.

It is when you're doing it in my house!

- And I'm lying for you all day!
- Nobody asked you to lie.

What is your problem?!

God. Look, I'm in our house, okay?

In my room, minding my own business.

It's not like I'm some junkie criminal.

No, you're a cop.

Well, you could always join the WNBA

if this whole police
thing doesn't work out.

Well, if Staff Sergeant Shaw was here,

this would be going through his face.

Want me to fight him for you?

I know I'm being juvenile.

Can you just let me, please?

First one to 10?

No, you're terrible at basketball.

I know, but I'm willing to humiliate myself

in order to make you feel better.

Don't be in a bad mood when I demolish you.

Those are pretty big
words coming from someone

who got chewed out by a rookie today.

You're dead. Check.

What's check?

Pass me the ball.

No. Okay, just...

Are we going?

Watch a new episode of Rookie Blue,

next Wednesday on Global.
