Mrs. Taylor (to Davis): Officer, could you turn off the lights and siren? I don't care if it takes a little bit longer to get there.
DavisYes, ma'am.
Finney (to Davis): Oh, I'd like to drive.
DavisOh, I'm sure you would. PPOs don't drive. I will let you do all the paperwork produced by our unit until I feel you've earned the right to drive. How about that?
Swersky (during roll call): Okay, listen up! I got a few announcements.
DavisYeah, I got one too, Lieu. Um…Monroe made detective everybody. Actually, I guess you always were one, right? I got called down to IAB yesterday, had a little chat with Captain Finney, all of a sudden our little community-oriented holier-than-thou Detective Monroe walks in, yelling at Captain Finney about her cover being blown. Her IAB cover.
Finney (to Davis): Man, what the hell happened to you?
DavisSasha Monroe.
Finney (to Davis): I keep getting this feeling that everybody knows.
DavisOf course they know, Brendan. The man was "working on his car" in a suit. They're professional police officers. It doesn't matter that they know. This is…this is what they do. They all showed up at my house, too. I was seven years old, but I can still see 'em. Whispering to each other, looking at us. They all knew my dad had another family. They knew he was taking money. Sure some of 'em knew the guys that killed him were right there in the room. Nobody says anything. If the story's at all plausible and makes 'em look good, they go with it. It's what they do.
DavisWhat do you do?
What do you mean "what do I do"?
DavisTo, like uh kick back, have like uh, sully fun, what do you do? I sort of picture you sitting at home in your boxer shorts watching old movies on black and white TV.
This is what you do, conjure up images of me in my underwear?
DavisI'm not saying its pretty.
You are way off, you know.
DavisAbout what?
I got a color television.
[When nobody is answering the door]
DavisYou want me to kick it in?
I tell you what, Tarzan. Why don't we keep that as a backup plan, but let's see if the super has keys first.
DavisYeah, that could work too.
DavisI was scared Sully. I was too scared.
We all were.
DavisNot Bosco. He was fearless, running around like a madman.
He is a madman and he's stupid to boot. There's some guys that think they're invincible and they believe that right up until the moment they get shot. And then they all end up with this stupid-ass look on their faces like there's been some kind of terrible mistake.
DavisGod really does answer prayers.
Yeah, I was just thinking, wouldn't it be great if two girls young enough to be my daughters had car trouble.
Davis (to Sully): I just…I thought he was gonna kill you, man. I thought he was gonna…
I know you did.
DavisDamn.
Now you gotta go tell them that.
Sully (to Davis): Forget about the outcome! You saved my life!
DavisI don't think I'm cut out for this job. I just…
Then quit! Go to law school. Do something with your life. Hell, join the circus. I don't really give a damn. But unless you go down to that station, tonight and set this right, you're gonna go to jail.
DavisYou guys didn't hear about Kim?
What do you mean? What about Kim?
DavisShe overdosed.
No way.
Kim was usin' heroin?
No, she did it on purpose. She tried to kill herself. Her son found her.
That poor little boy found her?
DavisYeah, she's gonna be okay, though.
We should call the guys at 55. See if there's anything that we can do for Kim.
What did we learn the first day of paramedic training? "Cops are all jerks."
DavisYou guys all right?
Yeah. Yeah.
DavisYou sure? You're good?
Yeah.
You know what they taught us the first day of cop school? "Take a look around before you insult somebody."
DavisWe found a woman, she was beaten, robbed and raped in her car.
Do you think there's any connection?
I hope not.
Why?
Because she said it was police officers that did it to her.
Shouldn't we just knock on the door first?
We don't wanna tip him to anything.
DavisWe're talking about a guy we know here.
We're talking about a guy with a gun. We gonna hang here and head over there later with a mop and bucket?
DavisAnd your way of handling it no one gets hurt, right?
