What happened?
Found her on the waterfront,
shot twice.
She was your CI, right?
Maria Duran.
Any idea who shot her?
Ruiz. Who else?
You sure it couldn't be somebody
from the human trafficking ring?
I can ask around... I know it was Ruiz.
I'm gonna kill that drug-dealing...
You got a target on your back.
Or did you forget that there's a hit out on you?
So, what? We're just gonna let him walk free? Yeah, for now.
Make sure the girls are safe first,
and then we'll go get him.
Maria's a good person.
She was just trying to find her sister. Duran...
What's her sister's name?
Carla.
I heard that name mentioned in the human trafficking ring
when we were moving the girls. You did? When?
Yeah, a couple weeks ago.
You have any idea what she looks like?
She looks a lot like her sister.
They even have matching tattoos
on the inside of their wrists from when their mom passed.
You think she's here? In New York?
I'm damn well gonna find out.
Good to see you, Bugs. Detective Reagan.
The hell do you want?
Ten months in there.
Figured you could use a ride or a hot meal.
Are you out of your mind?
You think I'm gonna break bread with you?
Come on. I got you out early, didn't I?
But you also got me arrested,
and you also got my brother killed,
remember that? I'm sorry about what happened to Marcus.
I am. But the only person that got him killed
was the guy who pulled the trigger.
It was your investigation.
He died getting information for you.
It should've been you instead.
Man...
Come on. Come on. All right, don't touch me.
Don't even get near me. All right.
Tough time inside?
My cellmate was a Ace Double Trey.
So what the hell do you think? What set did he run with?
Kings County, man.
How long has he been in there?
A while. At least since...
So that's it. What?
This is some gang investigation you're running.
Don't play me, Reagan!
I'm not running any investigation.
You always have an angle.
And you always use me as a pawn in your little games.
Just like my brother was until he got dead.
Get the hell out of my face.
"We seldom recognize the heroes of the NYPD marching band.
"They are a symbol of hope in these trying times.
"They sound the horns of justice.
"They drum the beat of equity.
"They play ceaselessly
and without fail, often without thanks... "Boss..."
Think you might want to hear this.
Anything beats Garrett reading
a fourth version of this speech.
Sorry it's a little over your head, Sid.
And what do I want to hear?
Sergeant Bruns just called from the 2-7.
He said they've taken someone into custody
for disorderly conduct and assault.
And they called this office?
The perp played your courtesy card.
Who did?
Tess Ross.
Lenny's kid?
Exactly.
She's hardly a kid.
And what did she do this time?
Discon, engaging in violent and tumultuous behavior,
and being generally uncooperative
with anyone and everyone.
She hit a girl at the bar.
Lenny gave her your card?
Yeah, I asked him to.
Sorry you asked?
Too soon to tell.
I thought I told you to leave Bugs alone.
You did.
Then why the hell is his parole officer
telling me that Anthony barged into a meeting
and conducted a full interrogation?
Don't worry. I played nice... ish.
- He's my CI. - Well,
he has information we need. Real funny
that he just happened to end up in a cell
with a guy from the gang that you're investigating.
What are the odds?
Lot of gang members locked up in there.
I'm talking to her.
You arranged that, didn't you? Yes.
We thought it would be useful to have
an ear close to these guys, and now it is.
You went behind my back?
Well, I didn't realize
you were so touchy about your CIs.
Well, if you would've looped me in
in the first place,
I would've told you that there's no way on earth
the Ace Double Treys would ever tell
any information to... That's funny,
because he is an Ace Double Trey.
What? Yeah, he started running with them
when he was locked up. Bugs? No way.
He admitted it, Danny.
He even showed Anthony the tattoo
they gave him. So, yeah, we are going
to use him to crack this case,
and we're gonna do it with or without you.
Am I getting out?
Please come with me.
Did they get me a lawyer?
Wait, they call and you come?
Well, it is my name you dropped.
I figured it was more like a reference or something.
I got this, Jimmy.
Okay, Tess.
What happened?
Okay, look, this is all a big misunderstanding.
Okay? This piece of trash at a bar
thought I was hitting on her boyfriend,
so one thing led to another
Lenny said you've been six months sober.
Well, the wagon must've hit a rock,
threw me right off.
Something happened.
I already told you,
this chick just started...
Lenny.
He passed away last night.
The cancer caught up with him.
I
I just talked to him two weeks ago.
He didn't want anyone to know.
And how are you doing?
How does it look like I'm doing?
I'm in jail.
Just tell your guys to let me go.
I can't do that, Tess.
What?
Of course you can.
Okay.
I won't.
I thought my dad was your best friend.
He was my best friend.
And I'm gonna honor that
by doing what's best for his daughter.
Quinn's late. Man, I don't like this.
Just relax, Fence, everything is fine.
With all the heat from the cops?
What if they already got him?
What if they know about this place
and they're waiting to come in right now? They don't.
How do you know this?
Because they'd already be here.
But we're gonna clean house
until the heat dies down
and we're taken care of that cop.
- That Joe Hill guy? - That's right.
How we gonna take care of him, boss?
My business partner's gonna handle that.
We are going to move
all the girls in the network to a safe house.
- Where's the safe house? - I'm gonna give you
pickup locations and changeover points.
Should take four trips. Changeover points?
You're gonna leave the van with two of my other guys.
They'll drive the rest of the way.
Then rinse and repeat.
I'm keeping everything compartmentalized from now on.
What happens to the girls at the safe house?
Why do you want to know, Dolan?
Just seems risky to have them all in one place.
Once I have them under one roof,
I'm shipping them out.
Sending them someplace
no one will ever see or hear from them again.
It's time for a fresh start, gentlemen.
We need more manpower up in Harlem.
Sure, absolutely.
I'm on it, boss.
I know you love to dig into the details,
but I've never seen you so worked up
about our crossing guards.
You sure everything's okay?
Yes.
He was your best friend.
Anything else you got for me?
All right, fine.
Say what you got to say so we can get back to work.
Did you really just leave Lenny's kid in the holding cell?
She was booked on assault.
Sheesh.
What? Nothing.
I mean, talk about tough love...
Her arraignment.
And?
Well, I just thought you'd want to know.
Just in case you wanted to...
What? Set a bad example?
I was going to say, be there for her.
Could we take this up after lunch, please?
You can't treat her like a Reagan when she's a Ross.
She's a person who broke the law.
And she's not the only person in the world
who has lost someone.
Clearly.
What was I supposed to do?
Big-foot my cops to forget they ever saw her?
No, but you could've bailed her out.
And when I get a call the next day?
Should I bail her out again?
You did it for her dad for years.
I did it for her dad once.
Look, Lenny was a great guy with a whole lot of flaws.
And one of them was letting his daughter
get away with whatever she wanted.
So, when he asked me to look out for her,
he knew what he was signing up for.
I think that's why he asked me.
But now Lenny's gone and it's just you and her.
You're not playing backup anymore.
I think I know that.
That is all, Baker.
I don't pretend to know
what the two of you are going through.
But I do know when you left her in that cell,
it probably felt like the only person who did understand
just turned his back on her.
Maybe that's what she needs,
but do you really want to be that guy?
Got to take a leak.
I need to see your hands. Come on, all of you.
Come on, hands up, hands up!
I know one of you's got drugs on you.
You, come on, get out of the van.
Why?
Come on, right now, get up. No.
Let's go. Let's go. Get out.
Get out, get out.
Come here.
Kick me in between the legs and run for it.
What... What are you talking about? Just do it.
Now's your chance to get out of here. Come on.
Come on. W-What about the other girls?
I'll get them out, too.
But right now, you need to run. Go.
Why are you doing this? Who are you?
I'm a friend of your sister's.
She's been looking for you.
Maria? Maria's been looking for me? Yeah. Yeah, come on.
We don't have time for questions. Just go, just go.
Hey, what the hell are you doing? Hey.
This one was acting up.
So I figured I'd teach her a lesson.
I've never seen you go for one of the girls.
Yeah, I was just checking for drugs.
Think I'm stupid?
Boss said hands off. Get back in the van, now.
I'm watching you, Dolan.
You go near those girls again
and I'm going straight to Quinn, you hear me?
Hey, you got something?
Just found out that Quinn and Ruiz are partners.
Partners?
Quinn mentioned a partner recently,
but never before.
He said that's who's supposed to take care of you.
I hope he tries.
Don't be stupid, Joe. Remember, our priority is to...
To get the girls out safe, I know. That's right.
Any luck finding Maria's sister?
What?
Yeah, I found Carla.
Great. Where is she?
I was transporting her,
I tried to give her an out to make a run for it,
but Fence came back before I could get her out of there.
Any luck finding out where they took her?
A safe house. I don't have an address.
You can plant a GPS tracker or something?
No, Quinn has us comb the vans between every trip.
Are you serious? You just let her get away?
It's too risky.
And you're too afraid to take a chance.
Hey, if someone found a tracker on either her or the van,
Quinn might've had us torch it with them in it.
Okay? He's ordered it before,
and I don't want someone else to end up like Maria.
You're right.
I didn't mean it like that.
Yeah, you did.
And you're right.
But if we wait for any longer,
Carla will be gone for good and it won't be because of me.
Now you're running around with the Ace Double Treys?
What the hell's wrong with you?
- And what about you? - What?
Talking about you want to come see me
and there's no investigation...
Come on, get a room, you two?
Can we just focus here, please?
Fine.
Our intel says there's a shipment
of guns coming in any day now.
Our wiretap went dead.
We need you to figure out the when and the where.
Not gonna happen.
Well, you're gonna help us,
or I'm gonna mark your every step.
And one slip up, I'm gonna have you back in jail.
And this time without the cushy deal!
Don't talk to him like that, all right? Take it easy.
We don't have time for easy.
It's 100 grand worth of guns.
That's what we're talking about here.
Well, my cellmate did have a cousin that's kind of high up.
He probably knows something.
Good.
Let's go pay him a visit.
No. I'll go with him. This is our case, Danny.
He's my CI.
Not anymore, he's not. He's my CI!
I'm not even a person to you two, am I?
Just some brother on the block that you can use.
You two are exactly alike.
You are going to help us.
Because if this shipment comes in,
a lot of people are gonna die.
Like you care.
Let's go. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Where do you think you're going?
You want information on the shipment,
this is how it's going down. Stop.
Information gathering only. Everything aboveboard.
And I want a full report.
Don't worry.
I'd never go behind your back.
Morning, Abigail.
Tess Ross is here.
I told her to wait in your office.
Tread lightly.
Copy that.
I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here.
Please, have a seat, Tess.
I didn't know Dad fished.
He was terrible at it.
Had the attention span of a gnat.
Looks like he wasn't that bad.
I caught the fish.
He just wanted to hold it for a picture.
Yep, that sounds about right.
Well, I guess I should thank you,
for the bail or whatever.
You're welcome.
And thanks for letting me spend the night
my dad died in prison.
You put yourself there.
Right.
Okay.
Booze put you there.
Look, Lenny helped you get sober.
Maybe you should stick with it, honor his memory?
You know, I thought
just maybe, you'd called me up here to offer to...
Forget it.
Tess, I'm trying here.
You're off the hook, okay?
You don't have to act like you care.
I do care. Yeah?
And when this assault charge ends with me serving time,
will you care enough to help me then?
I will be there for you.
But I won't bend the law.
If my dad were still here,
you know exactly what he would ask you to do.
And I'd tell him no.
It's funny, you didn't want any part of this.
I didn't.
So what made you agree to help?
Because I didn't realize
these dudes was buying enough guns for a small army.
It's just not right.
Okay.
So what's your next hustle after this?
I can't even ride in a car without an interrogation.
I'm just asking.
Sincerely, what are you gonna do after this?
I'm getting the hell out of here.
Chicago, L.A., wherever.
It don't matter. Just not here.
You're giving up on New York?
It gave up on me.
Here we go.
Ace Double Trey bar at the end of the block.
Are you good?
Yeah, I'll be all right.
What can I get you?
Fernando Ruiz. He here?
Never heard of him.
You're gonna tell me what I want to know
or I'm gonna have this place raided.
For what? I'll find a reason.
I'm one of those cops.
Yeah.
Ruiz. When's the last time you saw him?
Month or so ago.
He stopped coming around here.
Any idea where I might find him now?
Heard he took over our old location.
212 Jamaica Ave.
Queens.
Thank you.
You see this car right here?
It's gonna be here every single day
if you ever breathe a word about this to anyone.
You got me?
Yeah, I got you.
Yeah, we got a problem.
Don't move.
Put the gun down.
Not bad.
Put the gun down.
How's Maria doing?
They pull the plug on her yet? I said put the gun down.
Don't you die on me.
I'm not done with you yet. Come on!
My cellmate's cousin was higher up than I realized.
He hooked me up with a job.
A job doing what? They want me
to be a lookout for something coming up this week.
He said it was big.
Got to be the guns shipment.
Where's it going down?
He didn't say.
He just said wait for the call and be ready.
When they call, we'll be ready, too.
You two, outside.
I don't like it.
Why not? He came through.
It's too convenient. It's got "setup" written
all over it. Okay, Bugs may want
to kill me, but he doesn't want to kill me.
What is it with you and this guy?
I mean, you got a crush on him or something?
I don't get it. No.
His brother died on my watch.
Okay?
And you feel responsible?
Responsible, no.
Terrible, yes.
Okay, you're not thinking right.
This gives me even more reason
to suspect that he's baiting you into a trap.
He's not.
Trust me.
You killed Ruiz?
What the hell's wrong with you?
I didn't have a choice.
It was him or me.
Anyone else witness it?
Or did you lure him to that deserted street on purpose?
Because I'm the cowboy and you're the saint, right?
Did you at least get any intel off him before you wasted him?
No. No, of course not you didn't.
And now Quinn is pulling up the timeline.
He's shipping out Carla and the girls out as soon as possible.
What? Did he say when?
No, just soon.
What?
It's the hospital.
Maria's awake.
Want to talk about it?
Not really.
Who called you? Baker?
Somebody who was worried about you, doesn't matter who.
So you think I ought to rescue Tess, too?
What would Lenny want?
You know damn well what Lenny would want.
Doesn't make it right.
You're all Tess had.
She called on you. Where were you, Francis?
I was there for her.
The only way I know how.
But not the way she needed.
So screw that? Pop!
I treated her like I would my own kid.
And so would you.
You're not her father.
She just lost her father.
A father she didn't know existed
until a few years ago.
Can you imagine what that's like,
to have found something that you'd been searching for
your entire life,
and have it snatched away?
I think I can.
Maybe it's not just bail she was looking for.
I can't read minds, Pop.
You know
you and Tess aren't so different.
She hides in a bottle, you hide behind a shield.
I'm not hiding.
You want to know what to do about her?
Maybe look to yourself first.
Detective Hill.
How are you feeling?
Like I got shot.
I tried to call you.
I know.
I'm sorry.
You're safe now.
Ruiz is
taken care of.
And my sister?
She's alive.
Thank God.
We don't have her yet, but we're close.
We'll get her.
Thanks, Joe.
How did Ruiz find out you were helping us?
There was a new stash house he was using.
He wouldn't even tell his closest guys where it was.
I got curious.
Followed him.
But he saw me.
Where was it?
What is it?
Maria found a new stash house these guys have been using
right before she got shot. I just sent you the address.
You sure this is right?
Do you recognize it?
That's Fence's old place.
I helped him move out of there
a couple weeks ago.
I'll call you later.
Hey, Fence. Yeah?
We need to talk.
Dolan...
What the hell, man?
What the hell are you doing? Shh.
You trying to give me a heart attack?
I got your text. What's going on?
Ace Double Treys is here.
They on the first level garage.
And what about the arms dealer?
He coming in about an hour and it's,
like, two dudes in a U-Haul truck.
Okay, when the U-Haul gets in the garage,
we'll be in position. Yeah.
Hey, wait a minute.
I'm gonna tell you something that I never told anyone.
You know what I felt the first year after my brother died?
I don't care.
Freedom.
The things that I used to think mattered,
that held me back, they, they just didn't matter anymore.
It wasn't important.
I don't know if I'm making sense, but
you can get over it if you want to.
Yeah.
ESU's in position.
As soon as you see the sellers drive in,
they'll converge on the back.
And then we'll move in
on these lowlifes, got it?
What's that?
Well, it ain't a U-Haul.
What the hell is this?
I don't know. Yeah, well, I do.
Your guy set us up.
It's too late now.
We got to stick to the plan.
Damn it, Bugs.
What the hell are you doing?
Get back to your spot, man.
Come on, bro, it's cold out. Got ice on my ass..
Plus, ain't nothing happening out there anyway.
I ain't gonna say it again.
Can't I just get in the car
and thaw out for a sec?
You know, get the seat heaters going?
Man, nobody's trying to hear about your ass.
Go outside.
Yeah, get your ass outside.
Let's go. Let's go.
Move, move, move, move, move!
Where the keys? I left 'em inside, bro!
Put 'em down right now!
Open the door! Open the door!
Get down on the ground! Get down!
Get down!
Keep your hands where I can see them! Hey!
Get down! Get down! Hey!
Turn around! Turn around!
Get him out of here.
Hey.
Bugs, come on, get out of the car.
Let's go.
Whoa, hey, hey!
Put the gun down.
Everything's under control, Bugs.
Drop the gun.
Drop the gun, Bugs.
What you want?
Is Quinn here?
Look, just arrest me if that's what you have to do.
But please don't make me do this.
You want your deal with the DA or not?
Now shut up and focus.
Come on.
What the hell are you guys doing here?
Sorry, boss, we didn't realize anybody would be here.
You remember our deal? Yes.
You wipe my gambling debt, I give you the property.
And never come back. I mean, I think I made that
very clear. We just finished clearing out the loft
and we wanted to blow off some steam.
Fence remembered that he had some pills
stuffed in one of the walls here.
Yeah, that's right.
What's that?
The girls are here?
We didn't realize this was the safe house.
We'll get out of here. No.
Now that you know,
you're here to stay.
Everyone's in position, let's move.
Hold up, boss.
Maybe we should get confirmation
that all the girls are in there first?
Your guy's got two minutes.
Thank you.
Join those guys at the back door.
I-I need to have a word with you.
What's going on, boss?
Who are you?
What are you doing? My name's Dolan.
Quinn asked me to watch the back door with you guys.
What's on the phone?
Cat memes.
I'm obsessed.
I just got a cat myself. You guys want to see pictures?
I'm good.
The hell is that?
That's sirens. Get up.
Hey. Wait, listen, listen.
Hold on, hold on. Wait. What's up? Hey, hey.
He sold us out to the cops.
Quinn, listen.
Shoot him and get the girls
out of here.
Hey, wait, wait. Wait. Let him go!
Listen, let him go. I'm the one you want.
What?
Police! Get on the ground!
On the ground!
Hey. Where you going? Stop!
Get on the ground, let me see your hands!
Come on, come on!
Excuse me.
You okay? Okay. Yeah, I'm okay.
But the-the cop... Where is he?
There's a hidden door at the back of the basement
and it leads to an alley, and...
Thank you.
Okay, just think about what you're doing.
Just shut up. Just think about what you're...
Keep moving.
Police!
Let him go.
Detective Joe Hill.
Nice to finally meet you.
It's over, Quinn.
There's nowhere to go.
Seems like I still have some leverage here.
Don't do anything stupid, Joe.
We can do this the safe way. Nobody has to get hurt.
He's right. Listen to him.
Listen to him.
Hands behind your back.
The family thinks I'm the crazy one.
I guess we're related after all.
He's in the conference room.
We just finished interviewing him.
And?
Funny thing,
the Ace Double Treys didn't bring enough money
to buy even half of those guns.
They didn't?
Maybe they were playing a game on the sellers.
Yeah. I'm sure that's it.
We good?
Yep.
Detective.
Nice to see you're still in one piece, Bugs.
Yeah. Why wouldn't I be? After what happened back there,
I thought you may have a target on your back.
They think you're the one that took that first shot.
If anybody got a target on their back,
it's you. Well, good.
Interesting thing. That car you jumped in,
about half the money for the buy has gone missing.
That right?
Was thinking maybe that's why you got involved in this thing
in the first place.
There'd be 100 grand lying around.
Maybe some of it disappears
and magically ends up in your pocket.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Right.
You want to search me?
Nope.
You're gonna come harass me until you find something?
No, I'm not gonna do that.
I didn't know about the second car.
I really didn't.
I know.
And thank you,
for saving my life.
Don't mention it.
Even though you should,
'cause this ain't the first time
I saved you. Don't make me change my mind, Bugs.
When the world come to an end,
all that's left is Bugs.
Remember that, Reagan.
Detective.
There's someone here to see you.
Carla.
I'm so sorry. It's okay. It's okay.
It's okay.
Everything is gonna be okay.
So, you and Maria?
What are you talking about?
Well, it doesn't take a detective.
I'm glad they're both okay. That's it.
Whatever you say.
So, I guess that's it for you,
No more undercover work.
Job done.
That's good.
Hey, listen, I'm sorry
that I didn't always follow your lead.
Yeah, whatever. No, no, I'm serious.
Look, you can apologize all you want,
but from what I've seen, you're never gonna change.
What can I get...
Hi.
Let me guess,
12-year-old single malt, one ice cube.
Nice try.
Irish, neat.
But not tonight.
So, tell me your logic,
trying to stay sober working behind a bar.
I-I never drank at work.
And after a shift in this dive,
the last place I want to be is a bar.
That's pretty good.
Pretty good.
What's this?
A damn good defense attorney.
Thank you.
Listen, I'm, working on my eulogy.
If there's anything in particular
you'd like me to say,
just call it in to Detective Baker.
So, are they gonna shoot off guns or something?
No.
But he will have an honor guard.
Bagpipes?
Of course.
He hated bagpipes.
Yeah, but he'd love the old dogs bursting into tears.
That's what bagpipes do.
That's fair.
He'd get a kick out of that. Yeah.
Laughing in all the wrong places,
his specialty.
That, and laughing at his own jokes.
Well, no one was funnier than him,
to him.
Yeah.
We're not very good at this, are we?
Terrible.
I'm sorry, Tess.
He loved you dearly.
Last few years, you were all he talked about.
I should, um, get back to work.
Sure.
Thank you for this.
Yeah, sure.
My family gets together for dinner every Sunday.
We'd love to have you.
I know it's the night before the service,
so
I'll be there.
All right, I got the salad.
And I got the potatoes.
Yeah, how are they?
You like them burnt, right?
I like 'em crisp, yeah.
Nailed it.
Hey, remember this guy? Hey.
You shaved and everything.
You know, you could've at least
kept the Fu Manchu.
Yeah.
So, where is she?
Hey.
I got to admit.
I was kind of hoping you'd keep the tattoos. Yeah?
Even the neck one?
Especially the neck one.
Wow. We're about to eat.
Yeah, and the food is ready.
I've never been so excited about a meal in my life.
Why is there an extra table setting?
Are we expecting someone else?
Yeah, is, Joe coming?
No, I asked someone.
Just, doesn't look like she's gonna make it.
You invited Tess?
May I say a few words before grace?
Of course.
Um...
Well, first of all, welcome home, Jamie.
You clean up pretty good.
There's also someone who ate here with us over the years
but who won't be back.
Lenny Ross was my, oldest friend,
my closest confidant,
my getaway driver,
and I lost him this week, and it hurts like hell.
But
Lenny would hate it
if we got all teary and quiet and sad.
So, Lenny
we'll miss you.
And save me a seat at your table,
and I'll see you on down the road.
To Lenny Ross.
Hear, hear.
- To Lenny. - Hear, hear.
