RRookie

Start again?

Yeah, get right back on the horse.

RRookie

But what happens the day after that and the day after that? It's only my third day out of the academy.

It happens. You got scared. But I see a good cop in you.

RRookie

But you've also seen rookies die.

That's not the point.

RRookie

Can't you just show me a picture or something?

ID from a line-up is more likely to hold up in court.

NNatalie

If I ID him, how long will he be in jail?

A long time.

NNatalie

I don't know. I'm not comfortable.

Bless us, O Lord, and these Thy gifts which we are about to receive from Thy bounty, through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

So how long was Detective Gee on the job before he retired?

23, 24 years.

Then he goes civilian and then he comes back?

Why?

You're a pro athlete, sure.

Or you're a geezer rock band going on a farewell tour.

Matadors? A lot of them start their so-called final appearances in their 30s, keep going till they're 50.

But that's the same thing! The rush of the crowd. Cops, we don't get a rush of the crowd. We get a crowd screaming "Get the hell outta here!"

Maybe it's the satisfaction of service. Some of us find a nugget most days.

Well, I guess there's that.

Yeah. You don't think that's possible?

No, I'm sure it's possible.

What's the thing you say to me all the time? Something, something, a day in your life

Find something you love to do...

And you'll never work a day in your life. -

There you go.

Uh-huh.

I think I'm with Eddie on this one. I mean, there are a lot of things that I really love to do, and they don't really pay.

Not true. They're paying knuckleheads on ESPN right now for skateboarding and playing video games.

So there's hope for you yet.

Ha, ha.

I just mean it feels like a very long time since I had an outcome that felt like voilà.

What, like, rescuing a cat from a tree type thing?

Or reuniting a scared little kid with his family?

Well yeah.

Well, see? There's the nugget.

Yeah, forget voilà .

We're both in a business where no one walks away all, "Yes!"

The only victories are in making it a little less terrible for somebody.

Taking a rock out of their backpack.

And when you can truly say things could've been worse well, sometimes that's the rush.

MMackenzie

If you ask me, that judge should be investigated.

I can't do that. It would look like I'm strong-arming him.

Guy who wrote 100 Years In Solitude...

Gabriel Garica Marquez.

Thank you. Anyway, he said that everyone has three lives: public, private, and secret. I have always thought that should be taught at the Academy. It would help police understand motive.

SSam

I'm good.

You're good? Walking around, breathing, just surviving, that's your bar?

SSam

I set my own bar. I ain't gonna be no cop.

A Reagan in crisis only goes to one place, and I knew this church was your favorite. How are you doing?

You're the strongest woman I know.

I wish I was as tough as everyone thinks I am.

It's okay to ask for help, you know.

Ninety nine times out of a hundred, I go by the book. I make that call to IAB.

I know.

The one time I didn't was when it came to you.

Did Jamie do something to you?

MMcNichols

Not your husband.

My father-in-law?

MMcNichols

Frank Reagan is a hypocrite and a fraud. He sits up there in 1PP saying we're all one big family, but he doesn't give a rat's ass about any family except his own, and certainly not mine.

Buddy Malone.

JJoe

Joe.

Joe what?

JJoe

Joe None Of Ya Business.
