[Flack and Sam are at their grandmother's for lunch.]
Ah, no gran, come on, I'm stuffed.
You look like one of those POWs.
It's called being in shape.
Skinny is not a shape.
[Flack bows his head, taking the verbal hit. He just can't win.]
[Asking Sam] Still going with that boy?
No, we broke up. He was too clingy. I wanted to see other people.
[Sam kicks Flack.]
(About the parents of a boy that went missing 20 years ago) They promised each other they'd never move. They believe his soul is still with them in the house.
There were a lot of angry people around here. Death threats against Keith and his family. They were eventually forced to move away.
Looks like someone welcomed him back to the neighborhood.
Keith Milner, the only suspect in the disappearance of Tommy Lewis, is found dead in the park a block away from where the kid vanished exactly 20 years ago today. My guess is, this about payback, not a payday.
I'm sure there's still a lot of people in this neighborhood who'd love to see him dead.
Probably most of all Tommy's parents.
I'm curious to hear how they'd take the news of his murder.
That's if it's news to them at all.
Come and get it, sweetie. There you are, sleepyhead.
You hit me so hard with that right hand, I was gonna call your parole officer and have you violated.
That's why I let up at the end.
Come on. You beat me up the whole fight, but I got you fair and square right there.
Seriously, man, you've come a long way. Three months ago, that punch would've put you on your ass. You're learning to relax in the ring, keep your composure.
You're just saying nice things to keep me coming back, because you like getting paid to hit a cop.
Hey, you know I love you, Flack.
I know you love hitting me.
(Picks up the phone, knowing he is talking to his grandma all along) Hey, baby. Last night was amazing... I can't stop thinking about you. You were incredible. Grandma? Oh, sorry. Yes, I knew it was you (He laughs) I'm sorry.
How is it possible that a guy who murdered an eight-year-old boy turns into this model citizen?
All right. Maybe Milner wasn't the guy that everyone thought he was.
What do you mean?
There were a lot of bosses and experienced detectives calling the shots on that case. No one was very interested in the... opinion of a young detective. It always bothered me that he was the only suspect from day one. He was the perfect guy for them.
You think Tommy's father might have actually killed Milner himself?
Milner shows up in the neighborhood at the 20th anniversary of his kid's death. Certainly has motive.
I'm not quite sure how to say this, and I might be overstepping my bounds.
But you're gonna say it anyway.
I am. You've been back to work for over a month. And I've been going through Leonard Brooks' arson case, prepping for court. There were 200 reports in that folder, and not one of them has been written by you. And every court date you've had, you've had someone else take your notes and testify. That's just not like you, Mac. What's going on?
You're right. You're overstepping your bounds.
Mac, if something's wrong...
Nothing's wrong. Just doing what I should have been doing all along. I'm delegating. That's what bosses do.
(To Mac) You know... I might be a bit quirky, I may not be as organized as I would like, but don't let that fool you. I'm incredibly perceptive.
Well... this... is a mystery. All your connections are tight, nothing's leaking. So... how do you think this water got in the bucket that you put under the sink because you supposedly had a leak?
You're the detective. You figure it out.
Doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure this one out.
I need you to open the pickles.
What?
The pickles. I can't open them. I need you to loosen the top.
You're the only one who lives here, right? You opened the jar. How is it you can't close it... are you stronger than yourself?
You here for the mystery leak?
Yeah, and to open some jars.
What are you doing here?
Don't you play senile with me. You called me. And you set the table for three.
