HoltGood morning Karly, Tani, looks like you're keeping the machines running smoothly.
Whatever.
Holt[To himself] Karly will be the first to go.
HoltHere's everything you need to know.
It's blank?
HoltIt's a metaphor! You get nothing, You lose! Good Day, Sir!
Well, frankly, I pity the lot of you. You look out there and see a problem, I look out there and see an opportunity. I'm gonna slide on that slippery floor all the way from Holt's office to the elevator.
You're gonna do the F.B.P.!
That's right, Rosa. I'm doing the Full Bullpen!
[Jake prepares by stretching. Terry puts on Jake's helmet and Amy kisses Jake before strapping him on.]
Here we go.
[When Gina waves the starting flag, Jake slides across the floor to the tune of Starship's "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now". Everyone cheers him on.]
[in slow motion] Yes!
[Everyone continues to root for Jake until he arrives at the elevator, which opens. Holt is inside to everyone's horror.]
[in slow motion] Nooooo!!!!
[in slow motion] OOOOHHH!!!
Holt[in slow motion] What?
Hold on, I can't stop!
[Jake collides with Holt and the elevator closes. Everybody cringes. The elevator opens again and Holt and Jake exit. Holt grabs Jake's hand and raises it up.]
HoltTHE FULL BULLPEN!
HoltI don't need Monty Hall ruining my place at work when Monty Hall has already ruined my home life.
Come on, sir. The math thing isn't the problem. The night shift is keeping you and Kevin apart. You two just need to bone.
[Mortified squeak]
HoltWhat did you say?
[whispers] Don't say it again.
I said you two need to bone.
[Amy closes her eyes.]
HoltHow DARE YOU, DETECTIVE DIAZ. I AM YOUR SUPERIOR OFFICER!
[5 minutes later, Amy is shuddering in her seat, Diaz is apathetic, and Holt is at his doorframe.]
HoltBONE!!!!
[10 minutes later]
HoltWhat happens in my bedroom, Detective, is none of your business.
[21 minutes later, Amy is still shuddering in her seat, Diaz is still apathetic, and Holt is bouncing at his doorframe.]
HoltBONE??!!
[40 minutes later]
HoltDon't ever speak to me like that again.
[Holt leaves, Amy lifts her head to Diaz.]
Why did you do that?
Dude was pent up. Now he knows. Problem solved.
Oh, Captain! I know you don't wanna talk about Monty Hall, but I did contact a Math professor.
HoltNo need, Santiago, it's all good.
So the fight with Kevin is over?
HoltYup!
Because you understand the math now?
HoltNope!
Because you guys...
HoltYup!
I knew it. [Diaz goes to leave but quickly turns back to Amy] See what happened is your dads had sex.
[Amy quickly stands up to leave] Okay, Rosa!
Hello. We're here to honor Captain Jason Stentley, who single-handedly brought down a major drug ring. So it is my pleasure to bestow upon him the Medal of Honor. Captain Stentley.
Bestow me, baby! Oh, wow. That's a lotta people. Uh... Baba-booie! Cornholio! That's it for my prepared remarks. Any questions?
Will taking down one drug dealer make a big difference in the overall level of drugs moving into the city?
No idea. Next!
What's your philosophy for dealing with international narcotics supply chains?
Didn't understand the question. Next!
Why was Flaco targeted for this operation?
Okay, there's a question I can answer. Uh, uh- well, it all started because I lost a huge bag of cocaine, so I totally biffed it. Uh-
[Deputy Commissioner Ultrecht commandeers the podium.]
Thank you, Captain. That is- that's plenty.
That was a train wreck.
HoltYes, he never should've been put in that position. Whoever recommended him for the medal and called all those reporters really messed up. [Smiles]
Wait, what are you saying?
HoltOh, nothing. It just seems as if CJ has been... overmined.
And you used my made-up word!
HoltI did. I hated it, "overmined!" [Sighs] What have I become? Was this whole thing even worth it?
It was no snacksident.
[Doug Judy, the Pontiac Bandit, and his foster brother George have Jake and Holt at gunpoint.]
What the hell, Judy? I thought we were friends!
I don't know why you thought that.
Because you kept saying we were! We had hard plans to go to Niagara Falls!
So bro, you friends with this cop?
No. This thirsty-ass bitch just desperate for attention.
"Thirsty-ass bitch"? Okay, Captain, now I know you're gonna step in to defend me.
HoltWell, you were begging me to compliment you earlier.
Oh, my God, this is the worst day of my life! Where's Charles?
So if you're not friends, you won't mind if I waste 'im, right?
Of course he minds! I mean, sure, we're enemies, but in a playful way. Like Tom and Jerry. Oh, my God, was Tom trying to eat Jerry? My whole life is a lie!
Shoot 'im.
No, no, no! Those can't be my last words! Uh, ¡ay, caramba!
[George Judy pulls the trigger, but his pistol dry-fires.]
The hell?
[Doug Judy slams his pistol into his foster brother's head, knocking him out.]
Whoops. Looks like someone forgot to put bullets in his brother's gun.
HoltI just got off the phone with the D.A. And for aiding in the capture of George Judy, you have officially been granted immunity from all your past crimes.
So I'm a free man?
Holt[Nods] Mm.
[Doug Judy leans back and takes in his first breath as a free man.]
Nope. Still smells the same.
I'm sorry that I doubted you. But you did drive off with the guy we were chasing.
Had to. I saw he was about to get away, so I tricked him into thinking I was on his side. It's crazy how good I am at your job.
HoltLook, I owe you both an apology. Doug Judy, I underestimated your honesty. And Peralta, I underestimated your instincts.
Yeah, I'm gonna need a lot more from you than that.
HoltFine. You're a good cop, even if you are a thirsty-ass bitch.
Wow. Solve a pretty intense murder and just crap all over me.
Hey, Cap'n, got you a little somethin'-somethin'. [Pulls the cover off a nearby car, revealing a red 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Spyder convertible.]
HoltGertie?
Nope. But she is the same make, model, and color.
HoltOh, my God, you stole this! I can't be seen driving a stolen-
Relax, man. I bought this at a used car lot for, like, $600. This is not a nice vehicle.
Yeah, it's not.
And by the way, her name's not Gertie. It's Sexarella.
HoltHello, Sexarella.
Are they gonna be looking at our desks? Also, unrelated, someone left a bunch of swords at my desk.
I have a similar question about browser history.
HoltJust throw your computer away.
Roger that.
All right, everyone. As you know, the NYPD intends to shutter one precinct in Brooklyn. I'll be evaluating the 9-9 and sending my findings to the Deputy Commissioner. Any questions?
Yeah. Veronica, are you sure you're the best person for the job, given your and my...
Sexual past?
[visibly annoyed] Thank you, Detective Boyle.
Sergeant Jeffords, don't be silly. I won't let our past interfere with my assessment in any way, whatsoever.
HoltWell, that's certainly good to hear.
I mean, sure, it took me years of intense therapy to get over, and it's given me a fear of intimacy that has affected every subsequent relationship. But that does not mean that I cannot remain unbiased.
The way you say that, it kind of makes it sound like you actually are biased.
[Menacingly] I have no idea what you mean. That is all.
I see you filming, Linetti! What's in the yogurt?
Normal stuff. Nothing you'd use to make a sidewalk with.
HoltAttention, squad. I just got word from Peralta and Boyle.
Did they make their bust? Did they save the precinct?
HoltNo, they decided to bring in a bigger fish. They're not gonna make the hearing.
So Jake's doing the right thing instead of the selfish thing? [To Amy] You did this to him.
HoltLook, I know we want this precinct to survive, but I'm proud of them. Loyalty to your friends and fellow officers is important, but what's more important is our loyalty to this city, and its citizens. I guess what I'm trying to say is... let's go get drunk.
[The detectives are meeting at a bar after the 99th Precinct was saved at the last minute]
HoltApparently the community came to our aid. There was a swell of online support orchestrated by an organization called "Ginazone".
I think you mean "Ginazon". I was behind the bar the whole time. Another great Gina Linetti entrance.
I told you- you can't be back here.
And I told you- I already am!
What did you do?
I was live-streaming a prank when Captain Holt made his big speech about how you did the right thing for the city. I guess people were moved, they were like, "What can we do to help?" and I said "Call the Commissioner's office."
The G-Hive is real! I can't believe you did it! Gina, you're a legend! To the Nine-Nine!
To the Nine-Nine!
[Everyone drinks the toast but immediately spits out the beer bottles' contents.]
[live-streaming the prank with her phone] Y'ALL JUST DRANK CEMEEEEENT!
Holt': I want to show you a picture from last night that really upset me.
Okay, but in my defense Rosa bet me fifty cents I couldn't drink all that shampoo.
HoltThat's not what I want- you drank shampoo?
What? No. You're the one farting bubbles.
HoltDo you know what disappoints me most about this picture? That I'm not in it. I can't remember the last time I saw the 9-9 so happy. And I wasn't there.
Because you were working on the presentation, to get us a win.
HoltYeah, well, it wasn't a real win. I wish I'd been in that photo.
I know. And I'm sorry you didn't have more fun this weekend. But it's not over. And we are still in Rochester.
HoltWhat are you saying?
I think you know what I'm saying.
HoltDiaz, I've been calling you. Why won't you answer your phone?
Don't have it. Charged it and stuck it on a truck headed west.
HoltWhat's with the suitcase?
Going to Malaysia.
HoltYou're going to Malaysia?
No, the suitcase is going to Malaysia. I'm getting on a bus to Florida.
HoltWhat's in Florida?
Airport. I'm flying to Argentina.
HoltThis is very complicated.
Thank you. Adrian has a ranch in the Andes where he goes when he's on the run. He's already there, getting rid of the scorpions. Or... adding more scorpions. I don't know, the reception was real bad.
HoltDiaz, I know you're scared. But things are starting to turn around. We're on the money trail, and we just found a new lead.
With all due respect, sir, we both know that none of that is gonna pan out. And you said yourself that I should take action. So I am. In Argentina, surrounded by scorpions. Or not surrounded by scorpions. I'll find out when I get there.
HoltLook, I know you're innocent, but fleeing the country is a crime. I could arrest you right here!
Do it, then. [Holt stares at her but does nothing] I didn't think so. [Tosses Holt an apartment key] The mortgage is paid off. You can give the place to whoever you want. I don't care. Actually, I do care. Don't give it to Hitchcock.
So how's prison?
Nobody likes cops in here so I had to earn their respect by starting a bunch of riots, I got thrown in solitary for a week, what's going on with your face?
I hate seeing you like this so I'm flexing my eyes real hard to keep from crying. It's okay, we can still have a normal conversation. So, how's the food?
HoltPay no attention to him, Rosa. He's very emotional, Rosa.
Why are you saying my first name?
HoltWell, Rosa... I read an article on the medical journal that said one destabilizing aspect of incarceration is the constant dehumanization, Rosa. You need to be reminded that you're more than just a number, Rosa. You are Rosa... Rosa.
Yeah, that fixes prison.
Is there anything we can do to help you? Anything you need done on the outside?
No, I'm good.
It's not a problem...
Holt...Rosa.
We're here for you...
Holt...Rosa.
Whatever you need...
Holt...Rosa.
