Hi.

Hey. How you doing?

I'm doing okay. How are you doing?

Good.

Mmm.

What? Did you just look at your watch?

No.

I'm not touching you until you take that watch off.

I'm gonna take off more than my watch.

Ugh.

I'm terrible. I'm terrible!

No, it's feeling really good. Let's just go another one.

I can't get it poppin'.

What's in the bottle, Alicia?

H2O, like it says.

Russian water.

Andy, Andy, let her be.

Give me that bottle, Alicia.

No! Give it to me.

Don't you dare! Give it to me, Alicia. Give it to me. Give it to me.

No! Let -- No! Come on!

You're not an artist! You don't know what an artist needs!

Talent. Inspiration. Maybe just a little bit of discipline.

But a liter of vodka at 11:00 in the morning?

What are you doing?

You don't own me. That's what Normandy would say.

Just take all that pain

and put it into the music where it belongs.

Look, let's -- let's go again. Give her an auto-tune track.

You sing it.

Come on, stop being a baby, Alicia.

I hate you so much right now!

Uhh! Uhh! Stop!

Leave me alone! Ugh!

Look, that is the grief talking. Use it!

Damn!

Nice work, Andy.

I just wanna tell y'all...

...that I'm free today 'cause I put my trust in God.

I accepted Jesus as my co-pilot.

I lost my brother,

a man I loved like a brother

since were little kids in the East Bay.

But nothing can bring him back.

And then to have the whole world thinking

that I did that to him?

We'd like to thank the Acting D.A., Martin Reardon,

for his courage in showing a commitment to justice,

not politics.

We've needed change like this for years.

Maybe now we can finally break

the police department's choke hold

on the D.A.'s office.

Choke hold? Billy...

why'd you run?

I was scared.

Because innocence doesn't keep black men breathing in America.

Yeah, you saw how that cop shot the guy he thought was me.

Billy panicked. He was trying to stay alive.

We're coming to you live from the Oakland office...

Shit...of Nathan Woodward, the attorney --

They're all scum on that side of the aisle.

Woodward's a punk.

Mm, well, if Siletti hadn't run over that civilian --

He hit her. He didn't run over her.

Just to be accurate for the record. Okay, but dead no matter what.

I mean, the point is, Siletti would've charged to the max...

Right...and -- and then he would've kept him inside,

and we would have time it to -- to build our case.

Right, but outside, Billy has room to make mistakes, guys.

That's how we're gonna take him down.

Mm-hmm. That's all we got. Yep.

You need to be 100% safe. 110%.

That means you drive under the speed limit.

You don't contact anybody of interest. You get me?

You stay close to home with Rainelle.

You behave like you are strapped with an ankle monitor.

Because they will be watching you, for a while.

But you are a waste of scarce resources

if you don't produce results.

Let's give Sunday thanks for tight budgets.

Nathan...

I hope you don't charge by the word

'cause you use so many.

No, ma'am.

All right.

Thanks, bro. Mm-hmm.

You keep showing up, Mario. You just keep showing up.

What do you want?

Still my office, my chairs, my desk.

Can you get to the point, please? One of us is busy.

Eddie Moss.

What about him?

I, uh, caught his name on your witness list in the rape trial.

Yeah, well, the defendant couldn't resist bragging to him

when they were in jail together.

College don't make you smart.

Now without the informant,

all you have is "he said, she said," right?

A college kid versus a paid escort.

That's weak for rape.

And I told you that back when you charged, remember?

Then we got lucky, I guess. It happens.

Can you put that down, please?

You planted the informant, Marty, to shore up your case.

You have lost your mind. I did no such thing.

After your defendant already had an attorney,

thus the right it remain silent, which you violated.

The defense is gonna shred you like pulled pork.

Moss' name is in our database --

There's no outside access to our database.

It won't pass as a coincidence

that a snitch in so many other cases

wound up next to your chatty defendant in custody.

Well, I'm going to assume

that if I didn't know anything about that,

neither will the kid's attorney.

You need to make a deal, Marty.

That's not your call anymore.

Oh, so you're willing to benefit from perjury,

obstruction of justice,

violation of constitutional rights --

Mario! Mario, this kid is a monster.

Of course he is!

And you're trying to protect the victim. I get it.

But I would hate to see you ruin your career over this, Marty.

I mean, you're too good a lawyer.

This...

...is my desk.

You are sitting in one of my chairs.

Do you get that? Is that resonating with you?

You are never coming back, Mario, okay?

So get used to it, okay?

You don't take my good advice, you will lose the case.

You will be publicly humiliated.

You were the one who was in charge.

Y- You! You are such a hypocrite.

I believed in the integrity of my subordinates.

Apparently, I was wrong.

You know what?

You used to care about the victims.

Hmm? You remember that?

Back before you went and put yourself

on the wrong side of the aisle.

You did that to yourself.

I am living proof

that not every defendant is guilty as charged.

Well...I came as a friend.

We were never friends.

Oh, now you're just trying to be mean.

At least I won't feel sorry for you when you lose, Marty.

Good luck in court.

Hi. Hey.

You okay? Yeah, I'm okay.

Are you okay? I think so.

Oh.

All right, Billy James definitely had enough cash

to skip town.

What was he waiting on?

Mm. Or who?

Hey. Uh... Uh, my guess is Daphne.

...my guess would be Daphne.

So we sit on them?

Right. Well, yeah, I mean, if -- if we're right,

one of them's gonna make a move.

It'll just be a matter of time.

Yeah. Lust makes you stupid.

Alicia?

It's me.

Babe?

Alicia?

Honey?

Baby.

I'm comin' in.

Alicia?

Alicia!

Alicia, baby. no. No, no, no. Come on.

Alicia. Come on, baby. Come on.

Alicia, wake up. Wake up! Wake up.

Hold on.

Stay with me. Come on. Come on.

Get you out of here. You're okay.

What have you done? What have you done?

Come on. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Come on.

Come on, one shot, man.

I'm just doing my job here. Okay? Come on.

- Did you not hear me? Back! Back!

Back up! Back up!

Out of the way! Make some room!

No, uh, I don't know what she took.

it could've been anything, e- everything.

Okay, and who are you, exactly? I'm her attorney.

Look, I-I-I need to be with her. Can -- can I go with you guys?

I just... Get in the back.

Cozy.

Terry:

Whoa.

What happened in here?

Girl's a slob.

Probably never picked up anything in her entire life.

Oh.

These are worth more than my mortgage payment.

Normandy had to deal with all this?

Well, her house, her rules, her hot bod.

Okay.

This guy's medicine cabinet

looks like it belongs to an old man.

Well, that's what Burnside said, right?

Uh, all prescribed by the team doctor.

Dr. Feel-Good.

Dr. Feel-Good-Enough-to-Play. Mm.

Ooh. Question. Mm-hmm?

Why would a star athlete in the prime of his life

need beta blockers?

Although, if this crazy chick were my girl,

my blood pressure would spike, too.

Those the same doctor?

Uh, no. This one's Jack Kaplan.

Kaplan.

Okay.

Got it. Pacific Heights.

Ooh. Fancy.

Cardiologist. Stanford-educated.

Guy's the real deal.

Address? Number?

Yeah. Saved.

You good?

I'm good.

Why was he taking a beta blocker?

I want to help, but I cannot disclose medical information

without my patient's consent, which he cannot give me anymore.

All right, so as Normandy's primary physician,

you were acting in his best interest, correct?

Yes, of course.

So, Dr. Kaplan, why stop there?

I would think he would expect you to cooperate with us.

This isn't a breach

if you're presupposing Normandy's consent

to solve this murder.

You're doing nothing wrong, sir.

He came to me experiencing atrial fibrillation,

specifically, a fast, irregular heartbeat.

I prescribed Atenolol to slow down the heart rate.

A.F. is a manageable condition

if there are no complicating factors.

Like an aneurysm?

We saw the autopsy reports.

You knew about the aneurysm.

Of course.

It showed up in the echocardiogram.

I was monitoring it for -- for any growth.

But early surgery

d- doesn't bring long-term survival advantage.

Did you discuss his condition with the team doctor?

Normandy refused to let me. He...

he didn't want anyone to know, not even his own family.

It wasn't a medical decision.

In your opinion,

do you think Normandy put his life in jeopardy

by playing football?

A cardiac event cannot be predicted.

Watchful waiting makes sense for the typical patient his age.

But Normandy wasn't typical. Violence was his profession.

The risk was higher for him. of course,

as I fully informed him.

But patients have the right to make up their own minds.

The irony is, it -- it wasn't the cardiac condition

that killed him.

Just...a man with a gun.

What a waste.

Why was Normandy willing to roll the dice like that?

Just for the money?

It's hard to give up that kind of stardom, you know?

Now who are you when you used to be Normandy Parker?

Yeah, making $14 mil a year on the field.

That'd be, what? Like, a hundred years for us?

No, 50, after he pays his taxes.

Well, I guess he has a big nut to cover though, right?

I mean, between the wife and the house and the kids

and his boys, his toys, his personal payroll.

Maybe he had to play.

We'll need a forensics accountant. Doctor what?

Adler. I'll call her.

All right. Then you two of you go relieve Molk and Navarro.

Too much close time together,

they start to act like rats in a cage.

Yeah. Yes, sir.

Terry. A minute?

Sure.

You and Hildy are my strongest team.

I can't have that jeopardized by pheromones.

Oh -- Don't interrupt me.

I'm talking to you as a friend here.

If there's something going on between the two of you,

or about to go on --

and I'm not asking for an answer -- it stops now,

or one of you needs to transfer out.

Uh, there's no departmental policy on this.

Yeah, well, there is in my command. I have the option.

Look, I-I can't have my detectives

multitracking on the job.

You screw each other, you screw the work.

Am I being clear enough?

Yes, sir.

You know you're next in line for my desk,

if and when I make a move, right?

What happens to Hildy then?

You have an ongoing relationship with a subordinate?

Or a bad history?

Either way, it's a mess.

All right, this has to go away now, Terry,

or I'll let the two of you decide

which one of you leaves the division.

The job comes first while I'm in charge.

Work it out.

Are you finished, sir?

I'm not the problem.

There is no problem.

Oh, "retirement's" a beautiful word.

You're depressing me, Molk.

Ah, nice. Aw, man.

No, look, look.

Mm-hmm? No, what I'm saying is -- is that

as opposed to buying a bar or a business,

what you do is you buy -- buy the building

that they're in, right? Mm-hmm.

And then you lease it back to them. Mm.

See what I'm saying? So then you get into real estate.

Now that's where you stretch your...

...stretch your pension.

My p-- 58's a long way off. Used to be.

Sometimes, I hate you, you know?

Yes!

Hey!

All right, what's going on?

Hello. Fresh babysitters. Thank you!

Yeah.

Stakeouts are a test of mental discipline.

Mm-hmm, and bladder control.

Smells ripe in here. Mm-hmm.

Has Billy budged? Oh, sure, at, uh...

9:12, he came out to water the roses.

At 11:34, he carried out the trash.

At 2:10, he took grandma on a short postprandial walk --

Molk's word of the day. You're welcome.

Any visitors?

Mnh-mnh. Grandma must not approve.

On the positive side, Molk's convinced me

to dump my mutual funds and buy real estate.

Good. I just said you should diversify.

You're not listening. Yeah, diversify my nuts, man.

I am not interested in your nuts, man.

Car's around the corner. All right. All right. Okay.

I wish you would listen to me. I'm just talking about your -- Bye, guys.

Look, I mean, I have Later.

These are important decisions.

Bye. See ya.

What does "prandial" mean? No clue.

Okay, why are you sharing this with me?

As an act of conscience.

You know, I'm hurt that you look surprised.

I am an officer of the court, same as you, Al.

It's the right thing to do.

You probably even know the young man's attorney in this case.

Yeah, as a matter of fact.

You don't need to show him the file.

Which is highly confidential and probably illegal.

Did you know that the attorney-client privilege

is the oldest privilege recognized

by Anglo-American jurisprudence?

16th century.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Meaning that I could pass along a tip

from a protected source -- you.

Public records speak for themselves...

once somebody knows where to look.

Wow. Office politics, man.

You people are brutal with each other.

Reardon doesn't deserve the job. This isn't personal.

Of course it isn't.

Do you care?

About your motives? No, not particularly.

Well, you did tell me to plan for my future.

Is this gonna help our case?

Yes.

So what'd Koto say?

Koto? When?

When he asked you to stay behind in his office,

and you went in and closed the door.

Oh, my God.

That's such a tell when you do that head thing.

Uh...

He said he thinks we've gotten, uh, personal.

How?

W- what did you say?

Nothin'. Nothing? You just sat there in dead silence?

Nothing. I mean, I listened to him.

I mean, he's a good cop. He's -- he's observant.

Are we ready to... go public?

Koto won't let us work together like that.

What, he'd break up our partnership?

No, worse.

He said that the two of us...

...could not continue

working Homicide if we're together and that, uh...

one of us would have to transfer.

Wow. That's... Yeah.

overstepping.

Yeah, it doesn't matter, 'cause...

he's above us in the chain of command

and, uh, it's his decision, so...

All right.

So I guess we just...

stay deep undercover, yeah?

Mnh-mnh. I wanna be a couple, baby,

not a... couple of sneaks.

Mm.

Well, you know, you know you'd have to be the one

to transfer, right? Not me.

Me?

I've worked my ass off to make Homicide, Terry.

I mean, I did, too.

Yeah, I know you did. But you're a guy. It's different.

You share the same hormones. You're welcome in any division.

You could do Vice. You could do Special Investigations.

So, okay, but I'm -- I'm supposed to transfer down

because you're a woman?

Is that what you're saying?

You know it would be easier for you than for me.

I'm sorry. I mean, I wish it wasn't true.

Homicide's everything to me.

It's all I've ever wanted. It...

I l-- I love this job.

Me, too.

I know, but it's not just about career for me.

I'm saying...

it's who I am.

It's who we both are.

Where does that leave us?

Right now?

On a stakeout.

Dr. Collins, dial 3-2-1-1.

Dr. Collins, dial 3-2-1-1.

Hi, baby.

Hi, Daddy.

I'm here, Ally.

Daddy's here.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so stupid.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no.

No, no, don't even start that.

Baby, I'm just glad you're alive.

You hear me?

Baby, they're asking me...

what you took.

I can't even remember.

How much you took.

Just...

tell them it wasn't on purpose.

Okay.

You go back to sleep, baby.

I'm right here.

I'm right here.

Let's not just run with the rumors, people.

Alicia is suffering from exhaustion and stress

and grief.

And she's overworked herself with her tribute to Normandy,

which is so important to her since the tragedy.

This is her last gift to him. She wants it to be perfect.

Now I don't need to tell you that she is a perfectionist.

It's not exhaustion.

Why do you lie like that? Paul, not helping.

I'm her father.

Alicia is a drug addict and an alcoholic

because of the losers like him living off her,

who lie every time their lips move.

Isn't that right, Andy?

My daughter was strong and clean and healthy

until Andy Lippman started pimping her out for publicity.

Isn't that right, Andy?

You made that happen, didn't ya?

Why don't you ask Mr. Barnes about the restraining order

that Alicia filed against him?

It's all public record.

You were supposed to protect her!

You made that happen!

Hey. Hey.

So Alicia OD'ed?

Suicide attempt? Writer's block? What do you think?

Yeah, I think you don't play well with others.

That's what I think.

I mean, whatever happened to our sharing arrangement?

When are you gonna give me a tip, huh?

Okay, well, there's some buzz online

that, you know, Alicia OD'ed out of guilt

for her involvement in Normandy's murder.

All right, conspiracy theories don't qualify as tips.

Are you sure she had no connection

with the murderer at all?

SFPD does not comment on ongoing investigations.

Come on. "No comment" sounds so shady.

It just means you haven't cut her

from your roster of suspects. All right, don't be cute. It means no comment.

You know, unlike you, we're looking for facts...

...not headlines.

You're worse than TV news, you know that?

Excuse me?

Hey, you should slow down and get it right,

or you're just a joke with a pretty face,

and I overestimated you.

Good advice...Jim.

Mr. Moss, how many times have you testified

for the District Attorney's office?

This year? Sure.

First time.

And how about last year? Last year was a good year.

I was able to contribute to justice in three cases.

And how about the year before that?

Now I'm losing count.

Two or three?

So in the last three years,

you've been a confidential informant for the D.A.'s office

in at least six, possibly seven cases

that have gone to court, right?

Yes, ma'am.

Six or possibly seven total strangers

felt compelled to confess to you behind bars

without you ever asking a word?

People like to talk to me. I'm a good listener.

You know how to extract information, don't you?

Obviously.

In exchange for valuable consideration

by the D.A.'s office at your future sentencing, right?

What?

If you help the prosecution, then the prosecution helps you.

Is that your understanding?

Well, yeah, because what's right is right,

and what's wrong is...

you know, wrong.

That's what I believe, same as the D.A.

Your Honor, move to strike the witness' testimony

in its entirety as a blatant violation

of the defendant's Sixth Amendment right

to remain silent

and have counsel present during questioning,

compounded with the appearance of gross misconduct

by the D.A.'s office. Your Honor, Your Honor, unfounded allegation...

Mr. Reardon! ...in open court like...

The less you say in support of your witness, the better,

before we get to the point where I have to decide

whether you're dishonest or just thick.

Now I am inclined to strike the testimony,

but I strongly suspect that the jury

can deal with it properly per my instructions.

You may step down, Mr. Moss. W- what'd I do?

You answered truthfully. Thank you.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Your Honor, may I approach the bench?

See you next week. Huh?

What up, boy? Hey.

Here you go. What's up?

All right, man, you up now.

Billy, Billy, Billy. My man Hal. You can take one?

Be my guest, sir.

One of them days, huh?

Man, you won't believe.

Oh, not too tight, man. Not too tight.

Hey, hey, it's over now, crybaby.

How's Rainelle, Billy?

She's keeping me on my knees.

She's God-fearing, that's for sure.

How about you? You okay?

It's like I'm in solitary. You know what I mean?

Nobody wants their name logged on some damn police report.

They watching you? Please believe.

Yo. Oh.

Hang in there, man. Thanks, man.

I mean, out here, I don't mind people knowing me.

But I am the most hated man from west to east

for a whole lot of fools.

It's like, you got popped, you gotta be guilty, you know?

I hear ya.

Not much I can do for your look, though.

You can just shave it off.

Huh. That'll make Rainelle happy.

You know she likes it clean.

Uh-huh. It's true what they say about you and her,

back in the day?

Come on now. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Don't do that. Don't do that. All right.

Me and her...

we too old to remember that far back anyhow.

Hey, Hal, you, um...

think I could maybe use your car for, like, an hour,

after you finish me up?

Sure thing.

Back door. He's moving south out of the alley. Pick me up.

You think it's a meet?

Well, he ain't here for fresh air and exercise.

No, let's just hold back, okay? Mm-hmm.

We can't follow him in there.

How long are we gonna wait?

Wait, wait, wait! Go around, go around.

Did you see the shooter? No. You?

I was 20 seconds away.

He must've been on a bike.

Ugh.

This had to be a set-up.

Right. I'm gonna call it in.

You could've just stayed in jail.

There's no wallet, no phone. It could be a robbery.

Except the victim let the shooter get in good and close

from the powder burns.

So you think he knew him?

It's a reasonable assumption. There's no defensive wounds.

I also think that the shooter --

and this is just my preliminary observation now. Okay.

But from the angle of entry and exit wounds,

the shooter was of a certain height

and most likely male.

All right. Thanks.

Terry.

Sir. How did this happen?

Uh, to be honest, I- I don't know.

We, uh, we were forced to fall back.

Our prime suspect gets himself killed

while we're tailing him? Yes, sir.

What a shitshow.

Do you have a theory?

Uh, well, at this point, we think he was laid out

by the same cat that hired him to kill Normandy Parker.

Um...

other than that, I --

Oh, okay. Thanks for that insight, Inspector.

Lieutenant.

We need to notify the next of kin

before they see it on the news.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

I hate this part.

Yeah. Every time.

You good? Yeah.

First Normandy, now Billy.

My two boys.

They were like sons to me.

Ms. James, do you recall, uh...

Billy saying he was going to visit anyone?

Going to meet up with anyone?

Did he suffer?

You can tell me that much.

No, ma'am.

It was instant.

You made him a target,

the police, with false accusations.

He was the easiest answer you had,

and you were wrong.

Ma'am, any information that you may have could possibly help us

figure out who murdered him.

Well, look in the mirror.

That's who killed Billy.

He'd still be alive if it wasn't for y'all.

So you can get up off my couch

and walk yourselves out my front door.

Well, if anything should occur to you,

you know where you can find us.

Like your black skin makes us family.

Well, it doesn't.

Don't litter my table up with your mess.

Take it with you. I don't want it.

People already hearing the news.

We're very sorry for your loss, ma'am.

God's gain.

Would you, uh...

mind closing the blinds on your way out so...

so people won't see me like this?

Of course.

Hey, Cass, uh... it's me. Just got home.

Just wanted to say I miss you.

I'm gonna call back.

Who is it?

It's Martin.

You know what? I tried to warn you, Marty.

I'm sorry you didn't listen.

You know, I came by to tell you I know what you did, Mario.

I know you leaked the file to the defense.

I know you did.

Are you out of your mind?

It's the only way she could've known! It's the only way!

I would never damage the office like that.

I've devoted my life to that office.

I told you this thing was discoverable.

And if you hadn't been -- You're a liar!

You're lying, just like you lied about how you killed that nurse.

Mm-hmm. I saw how much you were drinking that night. I saw it!

Marty -- Don't touch me!

You know, you're never gonna be a leader...

...if you underestimate your enemies

and undervalue your allies.

I don't benefit from your failure, Marty.

I handpicked you.

I believed in you.

I still do.

Marty, mistakes get made.

True, you are gonna lose this case...

But you will survive.

Go home.

Take a shower.

Get naked with your wife.

Okay?

No apologies needed.

You have a good night now.

100%. 100%. Well, you have to meet her.

That's okay, sweetie. I got it. I know you have homework.

Homework? In the summertime? Mnh-mnh.

It's an enrichment program. What? That is not cool.

I hated doing homework when I came up.

See? He gets it.

Thanks, Terry. Night, Lou.

Night!

I'm screwed once she's a teenager.

Mm-hmm.

I'm putting in for a transfer. What?

Yeah. I figured Special Investigations -- No. Terry.

No, you had a good idea. Stop, okay? I can't let you.

I love you for offering. I do. But we can't do this.

Yes, we can. We can, all right?

We talked about how we could make it work.

Yeah, and we've been fighting and it's been weird ever since.

That's why I'm giving in.

I can't let you, okay?

I just...we can't do it,

not like this.

Look, I was thinking about what you said,

and you were right.

It is easier, much easier for me to make the change,

so I'm gonna do it.

We're great partners. Mm-hmm.

We make each other better cops. Mm-hmm.

But if one of us has to burn down a career,

a year from now,

we're not gonna be partners, we're not gonna be lovers.

We're not even gonna be friends. Whoa. Slow down. Slow down.

That's -- that's bleak.

Well, I'd rather have two out of three than nothing at all.

Well, what if we could have three out of three? Sure, of course.

But if we don't want what's best for each other,

then what's the point?

I mean, do you really wanna do Special Investigations?

No, but I'm willing. I'm willing to try.

Okay, but that's too much pressure on me.

If you transfer,

everybody's gonna think it's because of the shooting.

It's not gonna be good for the department.

We didn't become cops because we're scared of the truth.

You know, these dishes aren't gonna do themselves.

No, it's fine. I got it.

You can go home.
