You ever dance with the green fairy?
I can't help you, Adam.
I'm talking about absinthe. It's the 19th century version of magic mushrooms.
S8 E4Officer Involved
Adam, what do you get when you have a sergeant involved in a shooting, his wife who works in the crime lab and an IAB investigation? Conflict of interest.
Oh, oh. I'm... Oh, I'm sorry. I... Is he okay?
Oh, yeah, he's fine. He's got a couple stitches in his head. He's gonna give a statement to Internal Affairs.
All right, well, you tell him that we're all thinking about him.
I will. Thanks, Adam. Tell EDNA I said hello.
Shoot to stop.
Hmm?
What you're taught at the academy. Fire in bursts of twos and threes.
Yet here we have a single gunshot wound to the chest, almost perfectly placed. Bullet lodged in the heart.
Could mean Officer Cooper kept cool. Took an opportunity. Lucky shot in an unlucky situation.
Of course, he may not have had a gun at all, Mac. In which case, she fired by mistake and killed an unarmed man.
Let me take you to the hospital.
I'm fine, babe. I got to stay here for them.
There's nothing you can do for them now, honey, except maybe bleed all over them.
She's right, Sergeant Messer. Can't mess around with a head injury. I'm Lieutenant Adler, Internal Affairs. How you doing?
It's not… it's not a head injury.
Great. Then you won't mind answering a few questions.
Actually, he does mind. We're on our way to the E.R.
You're not going to make me pull rank here, are you? You know you got to talk to me.
Look, Lieutenant. According to regulations, he has 24 hours before he can be compelled to make a statement. So he can talk to you then.
Run me through it, Danny.
All right, so, uh, we... came here for a drink after shift, just to blow off some steam. The guy in the white shirt, he's a sloppy drunk.
This was the victim?
Yeah. He got aggressive with Cooper. She said, you know, she told him to back off. He was reluctant to leave. So I showed him the door.
You identify yourself as a policeman?
No, Mac, I mean, the guy was wasted... I show him my shield, it makes things worse. The guy was a jerk. And I didn't give it a second thought... till a few hours later. Next thing I know, I'm looking up into the sky, my off-duty piece is in Cooper's hand and this guy is dead.
Why did Officer Cooper have your weapon?
I was the only one carrying.
It was three men that jumped you?
That's right, three of them. Foley and Cates, they start fighting with them. Vic pulls out a nickel-plated revolver.
Well, you didn't see that, Danny... you were unconscious.
That's what my people are saying.
I see what this is. It's an officer-involved shooting, talking three-ring circus... those cops are the main attraction, right?
Not just them. You're their supervisor. You were in the bar. Somebody got shot. The gun is missing. Bosses will want someone to answer. You're the one with the stripes, Danny. Get ready.
GSR field test came back positive.
Means the victim had a gun.
Maybe. Officer Cooper told Danny that she checked the victim's vitals after shooting him.
Maybe the GSR transferred from her hands to his.
They all had their stories straight. Just like they rehearsed it.
Makes sense. They'll be under so much scrutiny, one little detail's off and they're all screwed.
So we got no witnesses, no gun. There's four off-duty cops and a dead civilian.
S8 E5Air Apparent
[after getting Sam a job in the NYPD]: That's what siblings do, they look out. Good times and bad.
Sometimes nepotism is a good thing.
S8 E6Get Me Out of Here!
We're canvassing the area.
Expecting the dead to speak?
For the murder weapon.
S8 E7Crushed
Flack, what are we looking at?
A parent's worst nightmare. Victim throws a party while mom and dad are out of town. Someone spills their drink on the new carpet.
Flack, how does this happen?
Starts out as a group of high school juniors getting a buzz on. The party goes viral. Jumps to 700 in under two hours. Welcome to the end of the world as we know it.
50 kids jumping up and down. Whoever the morons were decided to add a table should have known that was a bad idea.
