Previously on Cracked...

You killed two people
in the line of duty last year.

We lost a great asset
when she left us.

Well, I'll be around a lot
with Psych Crimes.

Why would McCray
let that happen?

Are you...
are you avoiding me?

What? No.
We'll talk.

You'll keep me in the loop
about Aidan's behaviour.

- Do I have to worry about you?
- I'm fine.

- Do you trust her?
- Yeah. I do.

Leave me alone!
(breathing rapidly)

Enough! Enough! Enough!

(Shouting)

(Yelling in distress)

(Whining)
Krisztian! Petra!

Where are you?!

Enough. I'm going.

- Sir, I can't let you in!
- Open up! Let me...

- My kids are in there!
- It's against regulations!

Sir, I can't let you in!

It is against the regulations!

You're gonna have to leave.
I will call the police!

(She gasps.)

(Kids screaming)

(Man whining)

Ah... ah...

Petra! Krisztian!

Petra!

Petra!

Krisztian!

Petra! Krisztian!

Murder vic,
found this morning. So far,

we know she was beaten to death
in an alley in Lawrence Heights.

Spray paint in the jacket.
Could be a gang tag.

Someone marked the woman
as territory?

Well, we're checking
her prints for affiliations,

but the symbol doesn't match
any gang known to us.

Serial killers sometimes
get off on leaving signatures.

- Was she sexually assaulted?
- No.

Well, it's a beautiful day to
skulk around yet another alley.

Hold that thought.
Aidan, I need a word.

You failed to show.

OK, I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Failed to show up for what?

Your appointment
with Juvina Kapoor.

Your police association lawyer.

Oh. Yeah, no,
I, uh... I had a thing.

And what about
your appointment last week?

- It was a two-week thing.
- Aidan,

your testimony at the coroner's
inquest starts tomorrow

and you haven't even met
your lawyer. Look, I know

you thought this thing was over
after SIU cleared you.

We all did.

But you shot a sick man
aboard a school bus last year,

and a little boy was...

I know.

This is a hot-button issue.

The coroner had no choice
but to call an inquest.

So far, they've heard
from the school board

and mental health associations.

And tomorrow, they're going
to hear from you.

Homicide can deal
with their own homicide.

Look, Aidan, you're not on trial here,
but you do have to defend yourself.

Got a name on our spray-paint
woman, Lorilette Beaudry.

Single mom, two kids. No gang affiliations.
Where is everybody?

Aidan's in that meeting
with the lawyer.

Oh, the inquest.
What a crock of shit.

Tell me about it.
People need somebody to blame.

Poppy Wisnefski.

Mrs. Novak?

OK, uh, slow down.

I can't understand
a thing you're saying.

OK, um, yeah, I'm on my way.
No, it's fine.

- I'll be there soon.
- Everything all right?

Yeah, just, uh...

just, uh... my neighbour.

My old neighbour.
I just... I gotta go.

Yeah, get out of here. I'll get the
profile started on... the victim.

(knocking on door) Come in.

- I'm, sorry. I'm looking for...
- Me. You're looking for me.

Juvina Kapoor. Have a seat.

We've got a lot to cover.

You're familiar
with how inquests work?

Yeah, I get up on the stand, spill my guts,
and then get misquoted in the press.

Something like that.

The main thing to remember:
You're not on trial.

You're being called as
a witness, not as a defendant.

Then why do I need a lawyer?

Because everyone has one. There's
gonna be a whole table full of them

representing the school board,
the bus company,

as well as the Crown Attorney
herself.

She's probably gonna ask you
some pretty tough questions,

but as long as you don't lose
your cool, you'll be OK.

- I'm not worried about it.
- Great.

Let's, uh, go
through your testimony.

I don't think so.

I need to know
what you're going to say.

Look, I've been through this
with SIU, three...

actually, four... psychiatrists.
I think I'm good.

It's great
that you're confident,

but the jury's going to be
hearing this for the first time.

And while they can't find you
criminally responsible,

their findings can pave
the way for civil litigation,

charges under
the Police Services Act...

- you could have the case reopened by SIU.
- That's why I have a lawyer.

Yes, and I'm just trying
to be straight with you.

And let me be straight with
you: I'm done with this dance,

so you're gonna hear it on the
stand along with everyone else.

But thank you.

Hey, hi.

Sorry. Thanks for calling.

I'll take care of it.

(Man shouting): Damn it!!

Dad?

Smidge?
What are you doing here?

Dad, this place is a mess.

Are you planning on paying any
of these bills any time soon?

Well, you don't live here! And I got enough
on my mind without worrying about that!

Mrs. Novak called. She said
you were yelling at her kid.

She did, huh?
Did she tell you why?

Did she say that he was in my
house while I was downstairs,

and he stole my money?
Did she tell you that?

- What money?
- The emergency money!

The emergency money!
A thousand dollars! It's gone!

Calm down. Just start
at the beginning, and tell me...

- Where's the money?!
- Calm down. Just...

All right! I was downstairs,
I needed a hundred bucks

because the guys are going out
after work, all right?

And I came up, I opened
your grandmother's old

cookie tin. It was empty.

So then I go outside
on the porch,

and there's the Novak kid, and he's
just out there grinning at me!

- Wait, why the cookie tin?
- Because that's where I keep

- the money!
- What? No. Your tackle box.

Since I was six, you've been telling
me to stay away from that thing.

Oh, my god. It's all here.

(He laughs.)

It's all here.
Aw, God. I don't know...

I don't know what the hell
I was thinking.

You should probably apologize
to the Novaks.

Yeah, yeah.

I will, I will, I will.

But I'm late for work now,
so, uh, thanks for coming over.

- OK, yeah, of course.
- Thank you, sweetie.

And, uh, don't, uh,
don't bother locking up.

OK, I won't. I...

(door opening)

(door closing)

The thing that concerns me right
now is the revised witness list.

There's a sergeant on there
named Eric Phalen.

He worked with Aidan for a while
on Team Seven. From what I can

tell, was not present the day
of the school bus shooting.

- Uh-huh. Then why is he testifying?
- I figured I'd ask you.

Well, I know Sergeant Phalen. I don't
think he has anything against Aidan.

OK. There's another name
on there. Third page.

Me? What do they want to talk
to me about?

I don't know, but I don't like it. The Crown
Attorney's Marcela Housman. You know her?

I do.

Then you know what she's like
towards witnesses.

Except I've been there
the whole time observing.

Seems like she's taking it easy, and
now she produces this witness list

for Aidan's section that is
twice as long as the others,

with names on there that don't
relate to the incident.

All right, what are
you saying, Juvina?

Inquests are supposed to be
about facts, not blame.

But it seems as though they're trying to
discredit Aidan in front of the jury.

If I were the suspicious type, I would
say someone's trying to take Aidan down.

(Girl screaming)

Kids, get down!

Drop the weapon!

Drop it, sir! Do it now!

(Kids screaming)

Hi. Did I miss it?

What are you doing here?

- I came to hear your testimony.
- What for?

I'm your partner.
Where else would I be?

(Juvina): Detective Black?
They're ready for you.

(Woman): State your name
for the record.

Aidan Alexander Black.

(Woman): Do you swear that the evidence
you will give will be the whole truth

and nothing but the truth,
so help you God?

- I do.
(Woman): - Please be seated.

Detective Black.

Can you state your current rank
and assignment, please?

Detective, assigned to the Psych Crimes
and Crisis division of the Metro Police.

And before that?

Sergeant, Special Weapons
Team Seven Tactical Unit.

In your own words,

could you describe the incident
that took place on May 16, 2012?

We arrived at the scene
at 8:35am.

The suspect,

Mr. Dominik Laszlo,
had killed the bus driver

and taken the children hostage. He
moved to the rear of the vehicle,

picked up a child,
held a knife to his throat.

A decision was made to enter the vehicle.
I engaged the suspect,

demanded that he drop
his weapon. Do it now!

He failed to comply.

At that time, I determined that I had
no choice but to fire my weapon.

(Kids screaming)

Thank you, Detective.

Now, can you direct
your attention to the screen

over here?
This is a cell-phone video

shot during the incident
you just described

by a student on the bus.

I'd like to review it
for the jury as Exhibit K.

Proceed.

Petra! Krisztian!
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

(Laszlo shouting in distress)
Oh, my God!

Kids, get down!

Drop the weapon! Drop it!

Throw it down! Drop the weapon!

(Gunshot) (Kids screaming)

(Kids screaming)

I just have
one more question, Detective.

Were you ordered
to take the shot

that killed Mr. Laszlo
and Jacob Beckmeyer?

Mr. Coroner, I object to
the phrasing of that question.

My mistake. My mistake.

Were you ordered to take
the shot that killed

Mr. Laszlo, or did you make
that decision yourself?

I made that decision myself.

(Court audience whispering)

Patrol found Ms. Beaudry's purse in a
dumpster a couple blocks away.

Cleaned out.

Any activity
on the credit cards?

Not as of yet.

Robbery doesn't really
track with the spray paint.

Unless you're trying
to make it look like a robbery.

OK, I give! Jesus!

Sweet move.

Next time I won't
go so easy on you.

Oh, yeah? Next time you won't
be able to catch me.

(laughing)
Oh, sorry. Uh, Leo,

this is my partner... I mean,
this is my brother, Darius.

- This is my partner, Leo Beckett.
- Pleased to meet you. Nice to meet you.

So, what'd you call me for?

- What's up?
- Have you seen Dad lately?

No. Why?

I was over there
the other day, and he seemed...

confused. He couldn't remember that
he kept his money in the tackle box,

and was blaming Mrs. Novak's kid
for stealing it.

- That kid is creepy.
- Yeah, I know,

but the point is he couldn't
remember where the money was.

OK? And, look,

and this isn't the first time
this has happened, OK?

I was there last week, and he was going
on and on about his convertible.

- He sold that thing eight years ago.
- So what?

Aren't you worried?
(He laughs.)

Are you serious? This is Dad.

He's a cop.
He's got more important things

- to worry about.
- Yeah, look, I know, OK?

But, I don't know. I just...

Lately he seems... distracted.

- You haven't noticed anything?
- Never.

Doctor, you signed the death
certificates for Jacob Beckmeyer

- and Mr. Laszlo?
- I did.

And according to your report,
Mr. Laszlo was

killed by gunshot, and Jacob Beckmeyer
stabbed by Mr. Laszlo's knife.

- That's correct.
- Tell us, Doctor,

what is a "cadaveric spasm"?

Uh, it's a rare phenomenon that
sometimes occurs in violent deaths.

Certain muscle groups
in the body...

such as the forearms and hands...
contract suddenly.

And these contractions,
would they be violent enough

to cause Mr. Laszlo's knife
to penetrate Jacob's throat?

(gunshot)
Under the right circumstances,

it's possible.

(Court audience whispering)

Mr. Laszlo was my patient
for two years.

I diagnosed him with paranoid
schizophrenia and depression,

and prescribed him with
a combination of risperidone

and bupropion,
as well as psychotherapy.

Were you aware of his capacity
for violence?

From time to time, Mr. Laszlo would
resist taking his medication.

In those circumstances,
he exhibited aggressive tendencies.

However, I don't believe he would have
harmed those children deliberately.

- And what do you mean by that?
- Mr. Laszlo had children of his own

who were removed from his care
following his diagnosis.

Whenever he was
off his medication,

he would drive around
searching for them. I believe

that's what he was doing
when he boarded the school bus.

Is the witness trying
to suggest that Mr. Laszlo

wasn't dangerous? He'd already killed the
driver of the bus I'm wasn't saying he wasn't

dangerous. I was saying that he
wouldn't have harmed the children.

Mr. Laszlo loved kids.

And it is my opinion that
if he had not felt threatened

by Detective Black pointing
a gun at him,

Jacob Beckmeyer would be
alive today.

(Court audience whispering)

Couldn't resist, huh?

Well, I hate to disappoint you,
but it's not a psych crime.

The spray paint came after. A bunch
of kids thought she was drunk.

- You're kidding.
- No. I wish. Turns out, it was

her ex-husband. He tried to make it look
like a robbery. We're bringing him in.

How did it go?

It went.

Yeah? So it's done?
It's over?

You can finally put that chapter
behind you?

I guess, yeah.

(Cell phone ringing)

Detective Liette.

Oh, yeah,

I did call you.

Um, I was just wondering

if I needed to dr...

Actually, you know what?
Um, can I call you back?

Who was that?

Nobody who you need
to worry about.

(Cell phone ringing)

You gonna get that?

Hey, Ridley.
What's up?

OK, OK, slow down, slow down.
Yeah, yeah, I'll be right there.

I gotta...

Mm.

- What's going on?
- Phalen's just been sworn in.

Sergeant Phalen, I realize you're
probably confused as to why you're here.

Uh, yes ma'am. I wasn't there that
day, so I'm not sure why I'm here.

Understood, understood.
But you did work

with Detective Black
on several other occasions?

Yes. He was my team leader
for the better part of a year.

And I want to ask you
about an incident

that took place in February
of last year.

You were called
to the Doralis Building...

(Juvina): Mr. Coroner,
I fail to see the relevance...

(Marcela): - Relevance will become clear in a moment.
(Coroner): - All right, proceed.

Yes. There were reports of a
gunman loose in the building.

(Marcela): And what happened?

Well, um,
we locked down the exits

and tracked our suspect
to the basement.

Once there, we engaged him
and, uh...

(Marcela): And?

And...
Sergeant Black shot him.

Shot him. Dead.

Just five months prior to
the shooting of Dominik Laszlo

on the school bus,
Detective Black shot another man

in the basement
of the Doralis Building?

- Mr. Coroner, I object.
- Ma'am, you have to understand...

Oh, no, I think I understand perfectly.
We're here to discover the truth

about what happened
on that school bus.

And the truth is,
Mr. Laszlo was shot dead

by a police officer with
a proven history of violence.

And Jacob Beckmeyer died
as a result.

This is outrageous.
Mr. Coroner, please.

(Marcela): Thank you.
You're dismissed.

(Caligra): They can't
seriously get away with this.

I'm afraid they can.
In theory,

the standard of evidence
for an inquest is similar

to that of a regular trial,
but in practice...

- It's a free-for-all.
- Yeah.

If the coroner believes
that Aidan's past actions are

relevant to the circumstances
in Laszlo or Jacob's death,

he'll let Housman introduce
anything she wants.

So we'll just have to convince the jury
that the Doralis shooting was justified.

Which it was.

Well, you know that,
and I know that,

but the jury doesn't know that.
The guy was out of control.

He'd just shot up a convenience store.
I'm not gonna apologize

for firing on some guy
who had me in his sights.

No, nobody's asking you to.

We just need to go over
the details of the shooting

to make sure it's viewed in
the best possible light.

No.

Housman smells blood. She's
gonna be all over you tomorrow.

- Tell her to bring it.
- Aidan...

I'm serious. You guys want
to stay here all night

and talk about this, go ahead.
I'm going home.

Can you talk to him?

Don't look at me.

You know, there's someone
I can talk to.

Marcela.

Diane. You know
you shouldn't be here.

We've known each other
a long time.

I have always been straight
with you,

and I believe you've
always repaid the favour.

So tell me what the hell's
going on.

Why are you gunning
for my best detective?

Because I'm tired of trigger-happy
cops getting a free ride from SIU.

You and I both know that Aidan
is a great cop that got caught

in two terrible situations.

You tell that to
Jacob Beckmeyer's parents.

It wasn't his fault
that boy died.

Listen, if we lose Aidan,

we lose the entire Psych Crimes
unit. The work we're doing is

designed to prevent the kind of
incidents that you're talking about.

Well, I guess we'll just have
to see what the jury says.

Destroying a man's reputation
at a coroner's inquest is

a long way to go to jump-start
an anti-cop-violence campaign.

What are you getting
out of this?

Hmm?

Promotion?

Offers from the private sector?

Diane, my only goal is for
cops to stop shooting people.

And Aidan Black is a poster boy
for reckless endangerment,

and I intend
to pursue a jury finding

that he is responsible
for Jacob Beckmeyer's death.

- Got it.
- Great.

Have a good one, Diane.

- I really appreciate this, Leo.
- Oh, it's all good.

Six years at St. Stephen's, I've had a bit
of experience with this kind of thing.

Morning.

Plus, my grandmother,
she had Alzheimer's.

Not that that's what it is. I'm just
saying, from what you told me...

It's OK. Let's go.

She walks into the room...

(Poppy's dad laughing)
I just about drop dead.

Holy sm... Beautiful hair.
Gone! Totally gone

OK, for the last time,
it was a pixie cut. It was in

at the time. The Matrix?
Carrie-Anne Moss?

It was cool.
You looked like a little boy.

(laughing) And it doesn't help

that you inherited
your mother's figure...

- straight up and down.
- Oh, Jesus.

- Why are we talking about this?
- Oh, here, I'll get you...

It's all right. I got it.
(Leo laughing)

Dad, seriously.
He's my partner.

Leo? Get your stuff. He's gone
to get my yearbooks,

and we are not sticking around for that. I'm
sorry I dragged you all the way out here.

What?

I found this in the fridge.

Wha...?

(Daniella):It's gonna be OK.

Yeah, except for the fact that the
jury thinks I'm a cold-blooded killer.

You did fine. It's not as bad
as you think.

The Crown just added a witness.

He's testifying in 10 minutes, which
means they had him all along,

but they kept him off the list
so I couldn't prepare anything.

- Who is it?
- Dr. Sean McCray,

Chief of Psychiatry,
St. Stephen's Hospital.

(Marcela): Thank you.

- I thought he was a friend of yours.
- Dr. McCray,

please tell us why you're here. I was
asked by the Crown Attorney to do

a comprehensive review of
Detective Black's service record,

as well as the findings

of the psychiatrists who have evaluated
him over the last 12 months.

And as somebody who works closely
with Detective Black,

I've also been perfectly positioned
to observe his behaviour.

And in light of that review,

what is your opinion of
Detective Black's mental state?

I believe Detective Black
suffers from a combination

of both pre-existing
and trauma-related conditions,

including PTSD, anxiety issues,
and anti-social tendencies.

And these conditions were brought on, or
aggravated, by the first shooting incident

in the basement
of the Doralis Building?

Yes. Detective Black was
profoundly affected

by that shooting, as evidenced by the
psychiatric examinations and his subsequent

erratic behaviour. Detective Black should
never have been allowed to return to work

without a comprehensive course
of treatment.

So, in your opinion,

at the time of the school bus
shooting...

Detective Aidan Black was
unfit for duty.

You son of a bitch.

Look, it is my job

to look out for the welfare
of the mentally ill.

Given that your partner has
a disturbing tendency

to shoot them, do you really
think that he's the best choice

to be the lead detective
in a Psych Crimes unit?

So you destroy
his career and mine?!

Your partner is
profoundly unstable.

Da... I did it
out of concern.

Wow.

You didn't even blink
when you delivered that lie.

- You really don't care.
- Don't be absurd.

How did I miss it?

The exploitation, the hypersensitivity
to insults, the inability

to see anybody's point of view
but your own...

Daniella, please.
You're embarrassing yourself.

You're a narcissist. That's
why you did this to Aidan.

It's payback, isn't it?
Because I left.

Because I don't need you
and you can't stand it!

And you think
that I'm the narcissist?

(Sigh)

(Music playing)
(Knocking on door)

I should have called.

I wouldn't have answered.
Come in.

Can I get you a drink?

You can stay for a drink,
Ridley. One drink.

Mm. That's not as bad
as I th... Oh.

(Aidan chuckles.)
Right?

I don't know why, but I feel
the need to apologize for Sean.

You shouldn't.

For what it's worth, I don't
agree with his diagnosis.

I don't think you meet

the full criteria for PTSD,
and you're not anti-social.

- And what else did he say?
- That I'm a jerk?

That one I agree with.

That went down fast.

Well, wait till you try
the second one.

So, I was supposed to go with my boyfriend
right after high school, but...

We even bought Eurail tickets.

It's OK.
Europe's not going anywhere.

No, it...
it's not that.

I just went through
a rough patch back then.

Well, whatever it took to get you
where you are now, it was worth it.

OK.

Your turn.

Tell me something
I'd never suspect.

Caligra asked me
to go to Jamaica

- after the school bus shooting.
- I knew that one already.

I never went.

What'd you do instead?

I followed school buses around.

(Faintly): Drop the weapon!
Kids, get down!

(Gunshot)
(Kids screaming)

I just wanted to make sure the
kids got to school safe, you know?

You just had a flashback,
didn't you?

Yeah.

First one in a long time?

No, I have 'em all the time.

Oh, Aidan.

I just get better
at hiding 'em.

I'm so sorry.

I should go.

Yeah, I'll, uh,
I'll call you a cab.

No, it's OK.

I can hail one.

Ridley.

Glasses.

Right.

Thanks for coming over.

Hey, Smidge.
Back so soon?

- We gotta talk, Dad.
- Uh-oh.

It's about the haircut crack,
right? I'm sorry, sweetie.

I didn't mean
to embarrass you.

It's not about that.
How are you feeling?

- I feel great. Why?
- Leo found a remote in the fridge.

Ah. Is that
where it went? Huh.

All right, come on, come on.
Spit it out. It's not gonna keep.

You're slipping.

Come on. Don't...
you're seeing the signs too.

Don't act like that.
Don't get pissed off.

Look, if it wasn't that, then why
was the remote in the fridge?

You want to know?
I'll tell you.

The guys were over
watching football.

I got up to get some beer.

I had the remote in my hand.

I accidentally left it behind
when I picked up the dip.

Any further questions?

You're a cop, Dad.

You carry a gun!
I had to ask!

It's dangerous.

Who else did you tell?

You just don't get it,
do you?

I am 63 years old.

I've got a fat pension
that keeps getting fatter.

You don't think the brass are
just dying to cut me loose?

Not to mention all those
young punks that want my job?

Accusations like this stick
to guys like me,

false or not!

Dad.

- Dad, I'm sorry.
- Well, sorry doesn't cut it.

I love you, but from now on

would you please just keep
your damn mouth shut?!

I call to the stand
Inspector Diane Caligra.

Do you swear that the
evidence you will give

will be the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth,

so help you God?

I do.

Please be seated.

You ordered
four psych evaluations

for Detective Black following
the school bus incident.

Why?

I wasn't satisfied
with the answers I was getting.

You mean they wouldn't
give him a clean slate?

No.

I mean the exact opposite.
None of these psychiatrists

could give me a firm diagnosis
about Aidan,

and without one, the folks
upstairs were getting nervous.

I figured I needed a label
in order to protect him.

- And yet you never got one.
- Nope.

Eventually I let Aidan's job
performance speak for itself.

See, that's the thing that
nobody's told you about Aidan.

He's a fantastic cop
who loves his job.

And the fact that he's been
through incidents like these,

it actually helps him
to understand the situations

he deals with on a daily basis
in Psych Crimes.

Tell me about this new unit, pairing
Detective Black with a psychiatrist.

- What do you want to know?
- Was there any strategy behind it?

I could have paired him
with a podiatrist,

but I think the results would
have been less positive.

(Various chuckles)

Well, did you ever have
occasion to consult

with Dr. Ridley about
Detective Black's behaviour?

What do you mean
by that exactly?

Well, it's a fairly
simple question, Inspector.

Did you ever ask Dr. Ridley
about Detective Black?

Occasionally.

And what kinds of things
would you discuss?

You're under oath, Inspector.

What kinds of things would Dr. Ridley
tell you about Detective Black?

She would keep me apprised
of Aidan's state of mind.

And these consultations,
were they at your request?

Did you ask Dr. Ridley
to keep you informed

about Detective Black?

Yes.

And she agreed to this?

- Aidan.
- Aidan, wait!

You're not dismissed yet.

Sit down.

Detective Black is
the finest officer I know.

Nobody cares more!

It's too late, Inspector.

(Sound muted)

(Crying)

(Knocking on door)

Caligra told me
what happened.

Come on in.

Don't mind the mess.

I can see
you're taking it well.

Actually, I'm feeling
pretty good.

This... this helps.

- Aidan, listen...
- Are you seeing someone?

Is it serious?

I don't know yet.

Does he treat you good?

Yeah.

Well, that's good.
You deserve that.

Aidan, you deserve
good things too.

You are angry about
how things turned out.

You're angry at yourself
for losing that kid.

I get it now.
But that does not mean

that you can just give up.
If you don't stand up

for yourself, nobody will.

Liz, don't.

You're right.
It's... it's my mess.

I gotta clean it up myself.

Juvina. I want you to get me
back on the stand.

That's gonna be tricky.
You've already testified.

Just do it.

OK.

I would like to request that
Detective Black be recalled.

I think we've heard
all we need from that witness.

Ms. Housman,
you yourself pointed out

that the purpose of this inquest
was to discover the truth.

Detective Black's sudden
departure during testimony

yesterday may have unfairly
prejudiced the jury against him.

He would like... and I certainly believe he
deserves... a chance to explain himself.

This isn't a confessional.
Tell him to write a blog entry.

I don't think it's your call
to make anymore.

Now hold on here!

I've allowed you considerable
latitude here, Ms. Housman,

which you have used to paint Detective
Black in a highly negative light.

I am not about
to deny the same latitude

to the man himself.
Call your witness.

You're still sworn in,
Detective.

(Aidan clears his throat.)

Our first day on patrol,

we were called to an apartment

where a drugged-up father had
tried to drown his little girl.

When we got there, she wasn't
breathing. She was blue.

I didn't think
she had a prayer.

But then my partner began
to give her CPR.

And I just sat there
and watched.

Then suddenly...
she gasped for air

and her little body spasmed.
I mean, he literally

brought her back to life.

That was a good day,

but... they're not
all like that.

Most times, we're called in to
situations that we can't really fix.

It's desperate people making

desperate decisions.

Shut down, ignored by society,

they feel like they have
nowhere else to turn.

And that's when we get to see the
worst five minutes of somebody's life

play out in front of our eyes.
Kids, get down!

That's when cops have to make
split-second decisions...

life and death decisions...
with little or no information.

(Gunshot)
(Kids screaming)

(Kids screaming)

Get an ambulance in here!

No cop goes into a situation
hoping for death as an outcome.

And it's the worst thing
that can happen, because

you have to live with it
for the rest of your life.

I've replayed that incident
with your son

in my mind a thousand times.

And I've wondered

if there was something else
I could have done to save him.

But that's all I can do,
is wonder,

because there's no amount of second
guessing that's going to bring him back.

I did what I thought was right
in the moment.

I wanted to save 34 kids, but...
but one didn't make it.

I'm so sorry.

I can't begin
to imagine your pain.

(Leo): - Hey.
- Hey.

- How'd that go with your dad?
- Oh, it was fine.

He told me what happened.
It was just a stupid mistake.

You sure about that?

He wasn't always...

My dad's been there for me
my whole life.

You know, from the time
I was five and my mom died,

he did it alone.

He raised me
and my four brothers.

And he went out of his way
to make sure I felt special.

Piano lessons, gymnastics...

He took me to buy my first bra,
for God's sake.

So, the thing is,

I'm not prepared
to destroy his life

just because he left the damn
remote in the fridge one time.

Is that OK with you?

Yeah.

The official coroner's report won't
be published for a few weeks,

but the jury came back
with a unanimous decision.

You've been unequivocally absolved of any
wrongdoing in Jacob Beckmeyer's death.

- You're joking.
- No.

Congratulations.

You should go celebrate.

Yeah.

Thanks, but I don't think so.

Detective Black?

Hey.

I'm so sorry.

- We know it's been hard for you.
- Thank you.

I'm sorry.
