‫.by an IAB officer

‫?- And he got you so rattled ‫ You came running to me

‫!- My boss has friends ‫ In Internal Affairs

‫- One or both of us may ‫, be under surveillance

‫but I haven't been ‫.talking to IAB

‫- My partner Parker ‫told me the same thing

‫right before my unit ‫.killed him for it

‫,- If you think ‫ that you're next

‫.then do something about it

‫.Expose what Parker knew

‫?Why was he talking ‫ To Internal Affairs

‫,- You need to ‫forget you know me

‫and if you have any kind ‫of survival instinct

‫.don't make any more moves

‫.- It's three shots That's ‫.excessive for a robbery

‫?to prove his son's ‫Innocence in Nava's murder

‫- I thought I was ‫.pretty persuasive

‫?- Someone finish Your ‫homework, Loman

‫- Jeez, Woz. What, did Linda

‫?get sick of you leaving ‫ The toilet seat up

‫?- Domestic abuse Funny to ‫you, Tess

‫.I thought you silenced him

‫- Not as permanently

‫as intelligence ‫.would have preferred

‫- Is that what you were ‫discussing last night

‫? On your date with Carrot Top

‫- He thanked me for taking ‫.care of his loose ends

‫Probably already knew he was ‫.coming here in the morning

‫- Did this intelligence ‫officer ask you how you knew

‫?that their patsy's ‫ Father was talking

‫.- He didn't know about Nate

‫- But they seem to know ‫.just about everything else

‫?- You think we led them here

‫Wait until Internal ‫.Affairs hears about this

‫?already knows about ‫It, who else does

‫- My mom would ‫.probably get a call

‫- I heard a rumor that ‫.your department has a leak

‫.- Victory

‫.I love rumors They ‫always allow me

‫to learn things about ‫.myself that I never knew

‫?- Sunrise massacre

‫?A dead NYPD ‫Lntelligence Officer

‫He wasn't killed ‫in the line of duty

‫?by a suspect that ‫you Yourself put down

‫- Isn't that the ‫kind of urban legend

‫?that keeps you ‫ Guys in business

‫- Not if it runs ‫.into actual evidence

‫?- So you guys were ‫Not talking to Parker

‫, - Cop gets killed

‫I'm forced to entertain ‫.malfeasance by other cops

‫? What makes you go there

‫.- Just working a ‫hypothetical .- Mm

‫, Well, unfortunately ‫.we're beyond that stage

‫You know, ballistics ‫confirmed that every bullet

‫in the Sunrise Cafe

‫not discharged by ‫, Officer Parker

‫, including the ‫one in his skull

‫were fired by the suspect ‫.that you put down

‫- So all the slugs in the ‫diner matched the ones

‫in the parking lot ‫.where I shot Morris

‫- What's so special about this

‫?that you tracked me ‫ Down on a stakeout

‫?- What It also ‫matches every victim

‫, and slug in that diner

‫including the one in the ‫.dead Intelligence officer

‫.- That's not the gun I planted

‫I have never seen ‫.this weapon before

‫- Well, now it's tagged ‫in evidence and present

‫in every single ‫.crime scene photo

‫,- You know, ‫I knew lntelligence had reach

‫?but how many departments ‫would A swap like that involve

‫.- Maybe Woz is right

‫.They are untouchable

‫- They're still covering ‫.up their tracks

‫What if I told you the ‫.cover-up went beyond

‫?Nava's murder ‫Suspect, Cesar Molina

‫- I thought Woz put ‫.you on a stakeout

‫- He did. Woz has you

‫? Tailing Intelligence

‫- Turns out I led them ‫.straight to another loose end

‫- Seems we frequent the ‫.same establishments

‫- The old man had given up ‫.defending his son's legacy

‫,but as a rule I'm not ‫.a fan of half measures

‫- Yeah, well, that's one thing ‫.that you and I have in common

‫- I like security and ‫a good night's sleep

‫which is why I'm ‫.glad you're here

‫,- What's this an essay ‫on the correlation

‫?between God complexes ‫And erectile dysfunction

‫.- Close It's an ‫article being written

‫by an intrepid young ‫.reporter named Nate Wozniak

‫I assume you counseled ‫your son on the hazards

‫of fronting a story ‫.about repentant felons

‫.lgnore the typos ‫.lt's a first draft

‫?- - How did you get this ‫lf it's written on a computer

‫, with a Wi-Fi connection ‫.it's available

‫- Not without a ‫.warrant, it's not

‫.- It's all zeroes and ones

‫I could listen to your ‫dinner conversation

‫using a refrigerator ‫.if I were so inclined

‫All that matters is ‫.access, and I have it

‫?- Was it you that said "God ‫ Complex," or was that me

‫[- [chuckles

‫.The money's better down here

‫.Anonymous for now

‫But it gives our man an ‫.alibi in James Nava's murder

‫.- Not anonymous to you

‫You got the source out of the ‫.old man before you shot him

‫, - I can send one of my men

‫but as you always seem ‫, to trip over them

‫perhaps you'd like a chance ‫.to remedy this development

‫.No more half measures

‫I need to know we're all ‫.rowing in the same direction

‫.- I'll take care of ‫it .Then it's over

‫- A warrant, one ‫, witness interview

‫? And now lunch

‫ "For a couple of" elite ‫, lntelligence detectives

‫they sure have a lot of ‫.free time on their hands

‫- Ramsey strikes me ‫as the kind of guy

‫.who cherry picks his own crew

‫- Think they joined the force ‫as cadets to murder lawyers

‫? And liquor store owners

‫.- Harlee, I'm sorry

‫We thought spiking Nate's ‫story was the best way

‫to protect him and our ‫.bad shoot at the Sunrise

‫,- Yeah that's ‫.been my go-to too

‫? Got to protect our own, right

‫- No one could have predicted ‫that they'd go as far

‫.as to kill an ADA

‫- You think anyone ‫could have predicted

‫? How far you or I would go

‫- It doesn't feel like you have ‫.any options when you're in it

‫- It's not too late ‫.for your moment

‫You just have to reach back ‫to that part of yourself
