Davis, you'll be in 5-5 David with a brand new probationary patrolman fresh from the academy.
A rookie? Seriously?
Oh, after the fine homicide arrest you made the other day, I'm making you a Field Training Officer.
The new officer's name is Brendan Finney.
Finney? He's gonna have a bitch of a time with that name. The only other Finney on the job I know is that filthy rat bastard Captain from IAB.
Sully…
This guy's the dirtiest cop I know. Now he's the one that's investigating all of us.
Sullivan! This is Probationary Officer Finney. Captain Finney's son.
You gotta be kidding me.
Finney (to Davis): Oh, I'd like to drive.
Oh, 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?
Finney (to Davis): You really think I give a damn what you people think of my father?
Grace, what sign are you?
I don't know.
Everyone knows what sign they are.
Okay. How about I don't care?
I'm a Virgo.
I know.
The lover.
Virgo is the virgin.
I knew it had something to do with sex.
Sully (to Monroe): CT Finney is scum. And anyone or anything that touched him is scum. You got a problem with that, I can drop you off back at the station.
Sully (about Finney): Do this punk a favor, Davis, and get him out of my face.
Davis (to Finney): I'm your Field Training Officer. That means I evaluate you at the end of each day. So far you've run another RMP off the road, you've pointed a gun at a 10-year-old, and you've completely disrespected a superior officer. I would suggest you adjust your attitude and start listening to me or your career's gonna be over before it starts. I don't give a damn who your daddy is.
He's on a motorcycle. He could be anyplace. He could be right here in this sector. A sector that you and I are responsible for. Did they not teach you that in the academy?
I know how this works. I grew up around it.
Oh, you grew up…You think you're a grown up? I've seen no indication of that.
Cruz (to Miller): You and I? We're probably never gonna be friends, okay? That's cool. You... you're doing your job, I'm doing mine. But I know this precinct. I know these streets. So instead of ordering me around all the time, why don't you just let me do my job? I'm damn good at it.
Finney (to Dr Hansen): When I got to your wife, she was conscious…and she asked me to write this down for you.
What hospital?
It's her, um… she wanted everything left to you.
Finney (to Dr. Hansen's husband & daughter): She wanted your daughter to know that there was nothing she couldn't do. Nothing she couldn't achieve. That she was special and smart and pretty. She wanted you to know that she wasn't frightened and she loved you both. I'm sorry.
Davis (to Finney): You did, uh, you did good.
Doesn't feel like it.
That's rough. That's the hardest thing you're ever gonna have to do.
They forgot to tell us about that at the academy.
Oh, everyday you're gonna come across things they never told you. The academy's like a foundation. Out here's where you learn to be a cop.
Ever feel like you weren't gonna be able to do it?
The job? Yeah. All the time. Look…when you're out here you can't control the day. That's what I was trying to tell you earlier. You... you don't get to choose what happens to you. And you don't just go running around balls out from one thing to the next. Doesn't work like that. The only real control you have is to be as prepared as you can possibly be. For whatever. Whatever the public needs from you that day. To me, that's what it means to be the police. So that's my little speech.
Carlos (after Levine kisses him): What the hell was that?
The beginning of a love-work relationship. Don't mess it up
