Harlee discovers that the intelligence unit's involvement in criminal enterprises goes deeper than she thought. Ramsey strikes back. Tufo pulls away from the crew. Loman meets a girl.
- Previously,
on "Shades of Blue"...
Somebody!
Stahl is back.
I'm not crazy!
- Harlee Santos is
a psychopath.
We can have her question
her own sanity,
and then we can both be free.
- My daughter died from a
drug overdose when she was 19.
- I've stood by while
the Intelligence Unit
killed the only decent man
that I ever loved.
No, no, no, no!
- You don't take down
fellow cops.
The entire department
will turn against us.
- Who killed Nava?
- I can only tell you
who ordered it,
and he tends to outsource.
- Your brother's gonna be
muscle for a dealer.
- You're gonna let him
dive head first
into a world
that put him in prison.
- He volunteered
for a noble cause.
- Who is this guy to you?
- Move along.
We got it from here.
- You wanted your taste, no?
- Step out the car, now.
- Because you arrested someone
who's under our protection,
an entire gang could
be wiped out tonight.
- Think it's an ambush?
- God, I hope not.
♪
- 10 o'clock.
That van's from Wallace's work.
♪
- Someone left in a hurry.
- Damn it, we're too late.
- Dispatch, tango 306
requesting immediate backup
at abandoned warehouse silos
on Oakwood and Hunt's Point.
Possible officers down.
Should we pursue?
- No, we find Woz and Tufo.
Guard the exits.
Make sure there's
no latecomers.
♪
Scene is still hot.
Don't become a target.
♪
NYPD, hands in the air!
♪
- Get an ambulance.
- Help is already on the way.
- Who ordered this hit?
- Stay with me, Wallace.
- Does the name Ramsey
mean anything to you?
If you want to get
in that ambulance, you tell me!
- Woz, a dead perp
doesn't help us.
- He beat Wallace to a pulp!
Who are you working for?
- Woz!
♪
- It was an ambush.
The Intelligence Unit?
- I'm not saying
they're behind it.
- Only that they knew.
- Look, by the time I found out
that Wallace was involved, you
weren't answering your phone.
- Did they know that we had
a man inside?
- Unclear.
- Well, make it clear.
- They're the NYPD
Intelligence Unit.
They traffic in information.
Why were you using
Tufo's brother?
- Why were you talking
to the Intelligence Unit?
- Loman and I arrested
a domestic abuser
under their protection.
- On purpose?
Harlee.
- No, it wasn't retribution,
okay?
It wasn't that kind of warning.
I don't even think Cole
meant to blurt it out.
- You said it yourself.
They're the Intelligence Unit.
They don't blurt things out.
- Looking back, I think
he felt guilty.
- LOC, altered mental status.
27 year old male
assault victim.
Multiple fractures.
Head trauma. Contusions.
He was responding in the rig,
then his GCS dropped to a 7.
- Check the responders
at the scene.
Make sure we get
the evidence first.
- I already told the sergeant
on site.
♪
- Pupils are sluggish.
- Stay with me, Wallace.
You hear me?
You're Superman, remember?
You're Superman.
- Where'd you find him?
- He's one of ours.
NYPD family.
- BP is falling--BP 84 over 53.
- Let's open up his fluids.
Make sure we got
trauma units on hand.
- Is he gonna recover?
- I need you all
to stay out there.
- No, that's my brother.
- I understand that,
but we need room
to evaluate and treat him.
- I'm a cop.
- I know, but they're doctors.
Let them do their job.
We're just gonna be
a distraction here.
Give them room, give them room.
- On three, two, one.
♪
- Versed 2 milligrams IV push.
♪
- Hang on.
We're gonna give you something
that'll make this easier.
- It's okay, you're at--
- A hospital now.
- I'm sorry, did I miss
your med school graduation?
- He's got his brother's
stubborn genes.
He's gonna survive.
- He's stubborn all right.
Always trying to save me,
impress me.
Whatever he thought
he was doing.
- We're gonna get the bastards
who did this,
and no one's gonna
be able to save them.
- No problem, they're right
here--you did this.
Espada did this.
I did this.
- How could anybody know?
- My brother got beaten
halfway to death
with a baseball bat.
Don't you get that?
But you're right.
We're beyond saving, Woz.
♪
- Tufo, wait.
- Let him be, Harlee.
Look, what we got
to do first is we got to--
we got to figure out
who the dead suspect is.
- A car was leaving
when we pulled up.
- Did you get a model
or the make or license plate?
- No, all we saw was
the tail lights.
- Harlee? Harlee?
- Her pressure is
bottoming out.
- She's in hemorrhagic shock.
Another round of fresh
packed red cells
and 3 CCs of epinephrine.
- We're losing her.
- Come on, Harlee.
Stay with us.

- Not a fan of needles?
- No, I love them.
I love everything
about this scenario.
Constriction, needles.
Are you sure a clown
can't pop out
and make this nightmare
complete?
- I should have brought
my red nose.
- I thought you left.
- I'm a sucker
for a free bag of cookies.
So clowns, huh?
- How'd you end up
down here, Woz?
A couple of wrong turns on
your way to the greater good?
- More than a couple,
my friend.
More than a couple.
- Well, this one's on decisions
made behind my back,
and now my brother
is breathing through tubes.
We won't even know
how bad it is
until the swelling
in his brain subsides,
and all because
I wasn't strong enough
to say no to something
you started.
- You gave Wallace
what he was asking for.
- No.
- A chance to make
a difference.
- How much longer here?
- Why do you think
he never asked you
to come visit him in prison?
Why do you think he walks
to work every morning
with his head down?

- Traffic cam shows
four vehicles in the area
of those silos within a minute
of my distress call,
all registered to owners
with no criminal records.
- Any of them reported stolen?
- No, but the plates
on the Chrysler 300
returned DMV registered
to a green Ford Taurus.
- So someone lifts
and switches plates.
- Sounds like forethought
of douchebaggery.
- What about the dead
douchebag found on site?
- No ID, but I asked
the medical examiner
to put a rush on his prints.
Good chance he's in the system.
- Speaking of which,
did Homeland Security
get a name for our Latin lover?
- Unless it's a terrorist
threat, they'll take
over a week.
- Can we pretend it is?
- The night desk did give him
his one phone call,
so I'm guessing someone
will claim him soon.
- All right, ladies, let's stay
focused on the dead suspect
who jacked up Tufo's brother.
- If we tighten the screws
on Ramsey's client over there,
and then we could trade
what he gives us
for intel on the Wallace front.
- What about your source
in Ramsey's unit?
- I think he dried up.
- Okay, if you want to work
a domestic abuser over, fine,
but right now we got to focus
on justice for Tufo.
We got to find the supplier
before he goes underground.
- What, are you
scrapbooking now?
- Time to play bad cop,
worse cop.
- If you wanted alone time,
you just had to ask nicely.
- We could lose your paperwork.
Nobody'll ever know
you were here.
- Uncuff me, and I
might forget I was.
♪
- You like it don't you?
The feeling of striking someone
who can't defend herself.
Or is it other shortcomings
that make you so insecure?
- If you're so curious, you can
check it out for yourself.
- A lot of guys in lockup
would be more than happy
to take you up on that.
- You're gonna need
a second career
when you realize who I am.
- I know exactly who you are.
No work ethic.
No intellect.
Thinking you can charm
your way through life,
but in those moments
when you realize
how small a man you really are,
you bully your way out,
desperately trying to prove
that you are not worthless.
- If you know everything,
why put on a show?
- What hooks do you have
in Captain Ramsey,
the head of the NYPD
Intelligence Unit?
- Don't worry your pretty
little head, bonita.
This will all be over soon.
