Against the Wall s01e02 Episode Script
A Good Cop
[Siren wailing.]
Stop kid! Police! Come on kid, stop! Stop! Police! Let me see your hands! Freeze! [Gunshots.]
[Grunts.]
[Indistinct police chatter.]
Against The Wall 1x02 A Good Cop Did you see the gun? [Sighs.]
What? The gun-- did you see it? I--I don't remember.
Well, either you saw the gun, or you didn't.
He said he doesn't remember.
Okay? Stop grilling him.
Look, guys, this is stupid.
I'm tired.
I want to go home.
I don't even know why we're doing this.
I've already answered all these questions.
I'm done with I.
A.
You're not done with I.
A.
till they tell you you're done.
Especially when it comes to Carl Scott.
The guy's like having a canker sore on your butt.
That's not even possible.
I'm just saying he's a pain in the ass.
Then, just say that.
A canker sore's only in the mouth.
Whatever! Does it really matter? Hey.
Dad, you think I did something wrong? No.
I think you did your job.
Yeah, but the kid was 15.
And had a gun.
You did what you were trained to do.
You don't, you're dead.
It's that simple.
Stop second-guessing yourself.
[Indistinct muffled voices.]
Damn it, I can't hear anything.
Daddy probably closed the vent.
Oh, this is bull Hockey.
It's not fair.
I'm part of this family.
I should be in there, too.
Abby, please get down from there before you-- [gasps.]
Oh! Hurt yourself.
I'm okay.
[Men talking indistinctly.]
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Lieutenant Papadol took me off the case.
Yeah, we know.
So why the silent treatment? - You quit yet? - No.
Well, there you go.
When does Laura get back from Iowa? This afternoon.
Okay, you need anything, you call me.
- I will.
- Okay.
Don't worry.
I'll stay with him until Laura gets home.
Hey, abs, uh You're still babysitting Saturday night, right? Yeah.
Thank you.
Okay.
Richie, hey.
I just wanted to see how you're doing since we didn't get a chance to talk.
Um, you're probably asleep, and that's good.
You need to get some sleep.
So I hope I can talk to you soon.
Bye.
For breakfast? Really? It's this kid.
He loves onions.
How's your brother? Not good.
What do you know about Carl Scott? You mean "Crucify me" Carl? That's really his nickname? One of 'em.
He also goes by creepy, carnage, and callous.
Do not let Papadol know you're snooping around your brother's case.
I'm not snooping.
Just curious.
Flores, Kowalski.
[Clears throat.]
- Keep it on the hush.
- Okay, okay.
Chief Carmen, Detectives Flores and Kowalski.
- Hi.
- Oh, wow.
I don't know if you remember me, but we met, like, five years ago.
You gave a speech at my graduation from the Academy.
I'm sorry, I don't.
But Kowalski's familiar.
Any relation to Don Kowalski? - Yeah, he's my father.
- And you're in I.
A.
? I would have loved to have seen his face when he heard that news.
- How did he take it? - Fine.
He's totally fine with it.
Uh-huh.
You and I need to sit down and have a drink and talk.
I look forward to it.
Chief Carmen has a situation that needs our immediate attention.
The superintendent believes I have a mole in my department.
- What do you believe? - I don't know.
I don't want to believe it's one of my detectives.
I handpicked these people.
But the superintendent feels differently.
Why? For two years now, we've been after the Nigerian crime boss Dunsimi.
In the past six months, we've had two sting operations go south.
And you think someone tipped him off.
There's no other way he could have known.
This last raid, his goons were waiting, and we walked right into an ambush.
One of my detectives was shot.
She's in I.
C.
U.
right now, fighting for her life.
We need to find this person as soon and as quietly as possible.
This takes top priority.
Was that a hop? No.
Okay, yes.
I'm just excited to be working with Chief Carmen.
I mean, the woman is brilliant.
Do you have any idea what she's accomplished? She had the best record for the most arrests in the history of homicide.
- Wow.
- Five years ago, she transferred to organized crime.
She's already brought down two crime families.
When do you find time to sleep? Oh, come on, you're saying you've never gotten excited about meeting someone before? Hell, yeah! I almost crashed my car after I met Lance Briggs, but that's completely different.
The man is fine.
You met Lance Briggs? Linebacker for the Bears Lance Briggs? How have I not heard about this? - Oh! - Oh, I'm sorry! Abby.
Danny.
Hi.
What are you doing here? I'm representing a police accountant.
He's accused of embezzling funds.
I'm confused.
I thought you worked in private practice.
I do, but I also take on cases here.
It's part of my pro bono work.
I was gonna tell you when we were having pizza, but you freaked out and didn't give me a chance.
[Scoffs.]
I didn't freak out.
- Yeah, you did.
- Okay, I did.
But you caught me off guard.
I'm sorry.
I'll give you More warning next time.
So, hey, how's your brother Richie? I read that he was involved in a shooting.
Yeah.
He's okay, I think.
If you need anything, anything at all, just give me a call.
- I'll do whatever I can.
- Thank you.
But it was a clean shooting.
He'll be fine.
Okay.
I'll see you around.
Yeah.
Your phone records show that you called McGinty's Bar at 6:15 a.
m.
, which happens to be three blocks away from where the raid happened.
Why does I.
A.
care who I call? Because one of your fellow detectives was shot and is fighting for her life in I.
C.
U.
You think I don't know that.
Someone is to blame for this.
We are just trying to find out who.
Then you should be talking to Dunsimi.
It was one of his men that shot her.
Who did you call? My brother.
He owns the place.
At 6:15 in the morning? Right.
We had a fight the night before.
I was upset.
I called to apologize.
If you don't believe me, call him.
He'll be happy to complain about me being a morning person.
- How many people in your unit? - 20.
And how many of them knew about both stings? You're looking in the wrong place.
- How many? - It's not one of us.
So how do you explain the two failed sting operations? - Bad luck.
- Bad luck.
It's interesting you say that, because according to your financials, you've had nothing but good luck.
Want to tell me how a Detective can afford a house on Lake Shore Drive and a sailboat? By divorcing a cardiologist.
Oh, okay, that's it.
Get down here now! Come on! Now, how well do you know Kristen Dey? Kristen was a good detective and an even better friend.
Where were you during the raid? Right next to Kristen.
You saw her get shot? - It should have been me.
- What do you mean? I froze.
There were bullets flying everywhere, and I froze.
Kristen pushed me down, and it wasn't till it was all over that I saw her lying there.
Babcock is checking out.
His background and financial were clean--no red flags.
We're just waiting to get his phone records back.
Who's that? Dunsimi and his hit man, Jeb Sall.
What'd you find out? Dunsimi runs several roofing companies on the north side.
He employs college kids to work for him to make it appear legit.
These college kids do the actual drug running? Well, Chief Carmen's office hasn't been able to prove anything yet, but these kids are scared for their lives.
No one's talking.
From what she said, Dunsimi's responsible for the 18 Colombians they found in dumpsters all over town.
When did you talk to Chief Carmen? When I called her to get the pictures.
I am not being a kiss-ass.
I just feel like the more information one has, the better equipped one is to solve the mystery.
What you got? Oh, well, we've narrowed it down to three detectives-- McClaren, Edgecombe, and Dey.
All three knew about both stings.
We're doing background and financial checks.
Anything pop? Well, yesterday there was a money transfer made into McClaren's account for $300,000.
Where'd the money come from? Well, we're still checking it out.
They bounce that sucker all over the globe.
But the latest one we found came from a bank in London.
London-- seems suspicious.
Except McClaren's mother is from a wealthy Irish family.
It could be an inheritance.
Edgecombe seems clean, except for the second sting.
He wasn't there.
Apparently he was at home with a 103-degree temperature.
I've got a call into his doctor to check his alibi.
And Kristen Dey? Her husband closed all their accounts yesterday and put their house up for sale.
We're going to the hospital now to talk to him.
You really think it could be Dey? No.
And I really hope it's not.
Keep me posted.
[Cell phone ringing.]
I - Hey.
You okay? - Laura called.
And Richie had to go back into Internal Affairs.
Oh, mom, I'm sure it's nothing.
Well, you need to find out because I can't reach your father.
Well, I'm kind of in the middle of something here.
That's more important than your brother? Okay, you're right.
Don't worry.
And don't tell me not to worry.
Just check on your brother! - Your mom? - Yeah.
This Richie stuff is really rough on her.
I can't imagine One of my boys You need to go.
What about Kristen Dey's husband? I can handle it.
Just call me when you're done.
I'll pick you up.
Thank you.
You said in your previous statement, and I quote, "I saw the gun when my partner placed it on the ground.
" Well, you left out the part where I said he cleared the gun.
Did you see the gun on the ground before your partner cleared it? Yes or no? It's a simple question.
Richie, where's your union rep? I I was performing chest compressions on the kid as Brody cleared the gun.
That's not what I asked you.
I asked you if you saw the gun.
In truth, you don't even know if Jamarcus actually had a gun.
The call from dispatch said it was an armed robbery in progress.
Did you see a gun before you shot Jamarcus Lawrence? I saw a flicker of metal.
All right? I had a second to react.
For all you know, what you saw was Jamarcus' cell phone.
They found it right next to the body.
I saw the video of the robbery.
Jamarcus had his hands in his pockets the whole time.
The clerk never saw a gun.
He only assumed Jamarcus had a gun, just like you did.
It's Detective Kowalski.
I need a union rep up here now.
I read your file.
Seems you got a habit of reacting first and questioning later.
What are you asking me? Did you rough up that drug dealer in '09? That was a lie.
I think the only lies are the ones coming out of your mouth.
We've got a witness that saw your partner plant the gun! Bullshit! Sit down, Kowalski.
Sit down, Kowalski! No, I am done until I get a union rep.
You're done when I tell you you're done.
Sit down.
- I'm not sitting down.
- Sit down.
Sit down, Kowalski! [Gasps.]
[Chuckles.]
I took you off this case, Kowalski.
Family cannot investigate family.
What part of that statement are you not understanding? I'm sorry, sir.
If I so much as catch you breathing in the area of this case, I will kick your ass out of here and have you back on the street shoveling shit! - Are we clear? - Yes, sir.
[Telephone ringing.]
Yeah? You sure? Okay.
Got it.
They tracked the $300,000 in McClaren's account to a bank in Nigeria.
He is looking good for this.
Now, go get your partner.
You are on surveillance.
- Excuse me.
- Sorry.
Richie.
Damn.
Richie.
Richie! Hey! - Abby, hold the rail.
- [Sighs.]
Hey.
So why didn't you call me back? I'm sorry.
I just-- you know, I didn't feel like talking to anybody, you know? Are you okay? What can I do? You can get your I.
A.
buddy off my ass.
Carl Scott is not my buddy.
Abby, he thinks I'm lying, all right? He says there wasn't a gun.
Are you sure you saw it? What, you too? No, of course not.
You know I believe you.
Everything's gonna be fine.
You don't know that.
No, but I know you you're a good cop.
You would not have shot that kid if you didn't have to.
Yeah, well, apparently the truth doesn't matter to Internal Affairs.
That's not true.
Look, I know Carl Scott is a jerk, but he's just doing his job.
Doing his job? Abby, he called me a liar and is accusing Brody of planting a gun.
I mean, how is that doing his job? Okay, I am not defending Carl Scott.
Excuse me, but it sounded like you were.
I just understand where he's coming from.
You understand? This is a really tough job.
Damn it, Abby, do not tell me that.
I don't want to know my own sister is putting other cops through the same kind of hell I just went through.
That's not what I meant.
Carl Scott does not represent Internal Affairs.
There are a lot of good people working for I.
A.
who work very hard to prove cops innocent Despite the lack of respect they get.
Hey.
Everything cool? Yeah, everything's just great, man.
You okay? I should go talk to him.
No, no, no.
It's okay.
I'll take care of him.
I got his back.
What do you mean? What? I got his back.
What the hell you think it means? [Door closes.]
You okay? I got to go back upstairs.
I just have a couple more questions.
Did Kristen seem nervous or worried about anything the day of the shooting? No.
If anything, she was excited.
They thought they finally had that bastard Dunsimi.
Did she have any problems with anyone else in the department? What? What are you doing here? What exactly is Internal Affairs accusing my wife of doing? We're just helping with an investigation.
Oh, my God.
You think my wife is the mole.
What? How did-- Kristen suspected months ago that there was a leak.
They all did.
And then they knew something was wrong when the first sting went bad.
Do you know if she suspected anyone in her unit? If she did, she didn't tell me.
You have to find this bastard.
We will.
I promise.
[Woman crying softly.]
My baby Jamarcus.
[Continues crying.]
Mom, it's gonna be okay.
That was Papadol.
Detective Dey just died.
Her poor husband-- I can't even imagine.
Those kids are too young to be without their mom.
I am glad Kristen isn't the informant.
Shane McClaren, twelve o'clock.
[Camera shutter clicking.]
Check out those shoes.
Ew.
Must be a Packers fan.
Or he could just like the color.
Nope.
Born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin.
I can spot a cheesehead a mile away.
But can you follow one? If I had 300 grand in my bank account, I'd be jumping for joy.
I'd be buying season tickets.
[Engine turning.]
[Camera shutter clicking.]
Why does that guy look so familiar? - Holy mother - What? That's Jeb Sall.
The guy that works for Dunsimi? What's he doing working in a flower shop? What's he doing talking to Shane? Looks like we found our informant.
I wonder who he's calling.
Uh-oh.
We just got made.
[Engine turning.]
Fasten your seat belt.
[Tires squealing.]
[Sirens wailing.]
Say hello to the blue wall.
You need to move these cars now.
I'm sorry.
I can't do that.
We got a gas leak.
Oh, gas leak, my ass.
Move these cars Unless you want to come down to Internal Affairs for a chat.
[Sighs.]
At least we know who he called.
That's odd.
Shane left his door open.
Police.
Don't move.
- You scared me.
- What are you doing here? Shane called me.
He wanted to talk.
The door was open when I arrived, but he wasn't here.
So you thought you'd look for him in the drawer? I was looking for paper to leave him a note.
You looking for this? Yes.
That's mine.
My grandmother gave it to me.
I thought I'd lost it.
So you and Shane For a couple years now.
Why the big secret? He's one of my detectives.
There are no rules about dating in the department.
I'm his superior officer.
If word got out that I was seeing Shane, every assignment I would have given him would have been questioned.
The closet's clean.
Looks like he left in a hurry.
You want to tell me what's going on? You're not gonna like it.
We think Shane is the informant.
That's ridiculous.
We saw him talking to Jeb Sall.
- What? Where? - A flower shop on Wells.
Looks like Sall works there.
No, he works at Dunsimi's roofing company.
There's got to be another reason.
Shane wouldn't do this, not to me.
I'm sorry, but all the evidence points to Shane.
If he's innocent, why would he be running? Oh, God.
What? Did Jeb Sall see you? I don't know.
He could have.
Well, if he did, it would explain why Shane is running.
I'm--I'm not following.
If Shane is the informant, he's not running from Internal Affairs.
He's running from Dunsimi.
If he works for Dunsimi, wouldn't he protect him? Not if Shane's cover was blown.
Dunsimi would see Shane as a threat.
The last thing he wants is Shane going to the authorities and turning state's evidence.
Don't you see? Shane is a dead man.
We've got to find him before Dunsimi does.
Okay, well, if I was on the run, the first thing I'd do is say good-bye to my family.
I'll get someone over to his mother's house.
Okay.
You close to your family? Yeah.
[Sighs.]
I never had that.
Shane was the closest I've got.
I heard about your brother Richie.
How's he doing? He's okay.
We checked Shane's bank accounts-- no transactions since this morning.
We put a track on his cell phone, but no luck.
My guess is he popped the battery.
But we are pulling his cell phone records to see who he's called in the past 24 hours.
What about his mom? Sweet lady, but a tad out of it.
Said the last time she saw Shane was at Kennedy's inauguration.
We're setting up a trace on the line, in case he calls in.
And Chief Carmen said she'd let us know if he called her again.
What? She's not gonna turn in her lover.
You heard what she said.
We have to find Shane before Dunsimi does.
She's scared for him.
Of course she's gonna tell us.
Put a car at Chief Carmen's house, in case Shane shows up.
I think we should put out a BOLO on Shane.
On a cop? Are you serious? Yeah.
Isn't it better our guys find him than Dunsimi? Yeah, she's right? [Sighs.]
- Riggs.
- Hey, Kowalski.
Something on your mind? Yeah, I just heard over the wire they, uh, put out a BOLO on Shane McClaren.
Don't know him.
He's a Detective.
He works O.
C.
They put a BOLO out on a cop? They say what for? Questioning-- you know, like they always do.
But here's the real kicker.
Guess whose daughter put out the BOLO.
Yeah.
Must make you feel really proud, huh? I'm proud of all my kids.
I don't know how you can say that with a straight face, man.
'Cause that rat were my daughter, I would kick her ass.
You call my daughter anything other than her name again, I'll break every bone in your body.
If I file assault charges, what are you gonna do? You gonna get your bitch daughter to clean it up for you, huh? We turned the corner.
My partner was in front of me, and I saw the suspect turn and point a gun at us.
My partner shot twice, and the suspect fell to the ground.
- Why didn't you shoot? - I didn't have a clean shot.
What'd you do then? My partner, Officer Kowalski, ran to the victim, and I cleared the gun.
You cleared the gun? - Yes.
- Where'd you clear the gun to? Officer Brody, I asked you a question.
Where'd you clear the gun to? A few feet away from the suspect.
Did you pick it up or kick it? - I don't remember.
- You don't remember.
No.
It all happened so fast.
There was a lot going on.
My partner just shot a kid.
[Door opens.]
Abby, you in here? Yeah.
Hurry it up.
We just got a call.
They found a body under overpass.
The description fits Shane.
Okay.
[Toilet flushes.]
[Indistinct chatter over police radio.]
- Must be my lucky night.
- Internal Affairs.
Or not.
Relax, we're not here for you.
We're here about the body.
Okay.
What say you and me grab a drink after this? What say you stop the sweet talk and tell us what you got? Male, mid-30s, couple of slugs in the gut.
Who found him? Homeless guy searching for food.
Says the body's still warm.
He's being bagged and tagged right now.
It's Jeb Sall.
You think Shane did this? If Chief Carmen's right, maybe Dunsimi sent Jeb after Shane.
Maybe self-defense? Maybe.
We got to find Shane before anyone else ends up dead.
[Rock music.]
Unh! I'm not here to hurt you.
I'm not here to hurt you.
Then why are you here? I didn't know where else to go.
You could try turning yourself in.
I never would have made it to the precinct.
As you know, there is a mole in my department.
I'm being set up.
Sit.
Start at the beginning.
About three months ago, Jeb came to me and said he wanted out of the Dunsimi organization.
He agreed to feed me information.
In exchange, I would cut him a deal when we busted Dunsimi.
Does anyone else know about this? Nobody.
It wasn't safe for either of us.
What was your meeting with Jeb Sall about? I wanted him to find out who the informant was.
He refused.
He said it was too dangerous for him.
Well, he was right about that.
You don't know.
Jeb's dead.
He was shot and dumped.
Why didn't you go to Chief Carmen? I don't want her involved.
Because you love her.
Julie and I-- it's complicated, but Yeah.
I know she would do anything to protect me.
And I won't ever put her in that kind of danger.
When did you last talk to her? This morning.
She left just after breakfast.
Get up.
I've got to make a call.
[Liquid pouring.]
[Sighs.]
You know, honey, Richie's okay.
He's safe.
This I.
A.
investigation will be over soon, and he'll be back on the job in a couple of days.
He could have died.
He didn't.
Why couldn't you have been a plumber? [Chuckles.]
I saw the pain in her eyes.
- Who? - Jamarcus' mother.
I realized how close I came to being her, to feeling that kind of pain.
How does a mother ever recover from something like that? - You saw Mrs.
Lawrence? - Mm.
- Where? - At her house.
I took her a cake.
Why? Why would you do something like this? If I.
A.
finds out, honey I know you'd never hurt Richie, but what were you thinking? I don't know.
I--I needed to see her.
I don't know why.
I-I just needed to.
I don't understand you sometimes.
Sometimes? What is that? What happened to you? Oh, I-I pulled an Abby.
I wasn't paying attention and walked straight into a door.
I told you she takes after you.
I think Chief Carmen may be involved with Dunsimi.
You're actually accusing your hero of being the informant? She lied to us tonight.
Shane never called her to go to his apartment.
So she was there to clear any evidence of-- 'Cause she couldn't afford any connection to Shane once he was made.
We told her about Shane's meeting with Jeb Sall.
And once she realized Jeb was an informant She called Dunsimi.
And Dunsimi had Jeb killed, knowing we would think it was Shane.
That all sounds good in theory, but we cannot go after the Chief of Organized Crime because you two have a hunch.
Well, let's get some proof.
Hey.
Sorry about that.
Don't be.
I love Aretha.
You keep saying you're not the mole.
Want to prove it? I'm glad you took me up on my offer.
I'm glad you were able to join me.
Dirty Martini, gin, please.
Any word on Shane? No, not yet.
So How did your dad really feel about you joining I.
A.
? I have never seen him so mad.
He's still not talking to me.
I'm sorry.
I know how that feels.
I haven't spoken to my father in 20 years.
To new friends.
New friends.
I have to tell you something.
I brought you here under false pretenses.
I'm intrigued.
I've admired your work for years.
I use to follow your cases when you were in homicide.
You could say I'm a fan.
That's very flattering.
So why did you leave homicide? You were so good.
Homicide is and always will be a boys club.
I was never gonna make Captain.
I needed more.
Organized Crime gave that to me.
[Voice over radio.]
Well, it's certainly been good for you.
- You ready to do this? - No.
It's not her.
There has to be something you're missing.
I know Julie, and she wouldn't do this.
I hope you're right.
Make the call.
Prove me wrong.
What do you want me to say? Tell her you have evidence.
You're going in with a team to bust Dunsimi.
It's the only way to prove you're innocent.
So what's next for you After you conquer organized crime? Oh, come on.
This can't be it.
You're brilliant.
There's nothing you couldn't do.
Between you and me-- superintendent.
You'd be amazing.
[Cell phone ringing.]
I totally agree.
I need to take this.
Shane, are you okay? I'm on my way.
It's me.
You got to get out of there.
McClaren's put a team together.
He's on his way over.
Just get out of there.
What's going on? We know you're the informant.
An accusation like that would require proof.
We have proof.
Don't we? Yes, we do.
Your phone call to warn Dunsimi was nicely recorded and should be on its way to the D.
A.
's office.
I think I'd like to call my attorney.
Do you even care that you're responsible for one of your own being killed? I'm very sorry for what happened to Kristen.
She was a great detective.
But her death is not my responsibility.
What about Jeb Sall? I won't be losing any sleep.
Jeb Sall was a ruthless killer.
Just because he discovered morality in the dictionary does not make him a Saint.
I still don't understand.
Why did you do this? Sometimes in life you make compromises.
But Dunsimi? He's one of the worst.
How do you let an animal like that roam the streets when you have the proof to put him away? I took down two crime families with the information I got from Dunsimi.
What I did made the streets of Chicago much safer.
Tell that to the 18 Colombians your guy butchered.
As long as they're killing each other, why get in the way? What about Shane? I did what I had to do.
Did you just wake up one morning without a soul? I was doing my job.
I thought you'd understand the sacrifices I made.
You made a few of your own.
We're not talking about Detective Kowalski.
We're talking about you.
This interview's over.
- We're not done.
- What's going on? Ladies, it's been a pleasure.
What the hell was that? She didn't call her attorney.
She called the Feds.
She's turning state's evidence against Dunsimi.
To save her own ass.
Either way, it's a victory, all right? Dunsimi's off the street-- one less drug dealer out there.
Now, go home and get some rest.
Good job, Detectives.
You okay? Yeah.
Well, you were right about one thing.
The woman is definitely brilliant.
[Knock on door.]
- Hi.
- Hi.
I just, uh-- I wanted to thank you for not hitting me in the head with a beer bottle.
Oh.
How are you really doing? Let's see I just found out the woman I loved not only didn't love me but was framing me for a crime she was committing.
I'm not doing good.
I'm sorry.
Hey, listen, I didn't come here to cry on your shoulder.
I really did want to thank you.
- I owe you my life.
- I was just doing my job.
Well, Detective Kowalski You do it quite well.
I'll see you around.
Yeah.
- Oh, there you are.
- Hey.
I have been knocking on your door all night.
Where have you been? Working on a case.
- You look like crap.
- Thanks.
- You okay? - Just tired.
I hardly ever see you anymore.
I think you worked better hours when you worked patrol.
I know.
We'll do something together soon.
- I promise.
- Sunday? I thought you were going to the game with Danny.
- No.
Canceled.
- Why? Oh, come on, we both know who Danny would rather take to the game.
He's so not interested in me.
And don't even say it.
I wasn't going to.
You're right.
Danny likes me.
But you don't want a relationship.
I know.
Right now I've got enough to worry about.
Wait, something happen.
What are you not telling me? Nothing.
I'm fine.
Okay.
Get some rest.
Since when did you become kinky? - We need to talk.
- Now? Did you plant the gun? What the hell, Abby? Just tell me the truth.
No, I didn't plant the gun.
They have a witness who saw you take the gun out of your pants and place it on the ground.
And you believe some stranger over me? Uncuff me and get the hell out.
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head and just like the guy whose feet are too big-- [Siren chirps.]
Hey.
You need to talk to your mother Now.
I could use a ride.
Hey.
Is the coast clear? Your father's upstairs taking a shower.
What are you doing here so late? He stopped by to see me.
He's worried about you.
Oh, he's talking to you again.
That's a good sign, hmm? - Mom.
- Hmm? Are you okay? I'm fine.
[Pans rattle.]
Then what's with all the cakes? [Softly.]
Mom Hey, hey, hey, hey.
It's okay.
[Sobbing.]
It's okay.
I know.
I know.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Richie's okay.
He's safe now.
He's safe.
It's okay.
Stop kid! Police! Come on kid, stop! Stop! Police! Let me see your hands! Freeze! [Gunshots.]
[Grunts.]
[Indistinct police chatter.]
Against The Wall 1x02 A Good Cop Did you see the gun? [Sighs.]
What? The gun-- did you see it? I--I don't remember.
Well, either you saw the gun, or you didn't.
He said he doesn't remember.
Okay? Stop grilling him.
Look, guys, this is stupid.
I'm tired.
I want to go home.
I don't even know why we're doing this.
I've already answered all these questions.
I'm done with I.
A.
You're not done with I.
A.
till they tell you you're done.
Especially when it comes to Carl Scott.
The guy's like having a canker sore on your butt.
That's not even possible.
I'm just saying he's a pain in the ass.
Then, just say that.
A canker sore's only in the mouth.
Whatever! Does it really matter? Hey.
Dad, you think I did something wrong? No.
I think you did your job.
Yeah, but the kid was 15.
And had a gun.
You did what you were trained to do.
You don't, you're dead.
It's that simple.
Stop second-guessing yourself.
[Indistinct muffled voices.]
Damn it, I can't hear anything.
Daddy probably closed the vent.
Oh, this is bull Hockey.
It's not fair.
I'm part of this family.
I should be in there, too.
Abby, please get down from there before you-- [gasps.]
Oh! Hurt yourself.
I'm okay.
[Men talking indistinctly.]
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Lieutenant Papadol took me off the case.
Yeah, we know.
So why the silent treatment? - You quit yet? - No.
Well, there you go.
When does Laura get back from Iowa? This afternoon.
Okay, you need anything, you call me.
- I will.
- Okay.
Don't worry.
I'll stay with him until Laura gets home.
Hey, abs, uh You're still babysitting Saturday night, right? Yeah.
Thank you.
Okay.
Richie, hey.
I just wanted to see how you're doing since we didn't get a chance to talk.
Um, you're probably asleep, and that's good.
You need to get some sleep.
So I hope I can talk to you soon.
Bye.
For breakfast? Really? It's this kid.
He loves onions.
How's your brother? Not good.
What do you know about Carl Scott? You mean "Crucify me" Carl? That's really his nickname? One of 'em.
He also goes by creepy, carnage, and callous.
Do not let Papadol know you're snooping around your brother's case.
I'm not snooping.
Just curious.
Flores, Kowalski.
[Clears throat.]
- Keep it on the hush.
- Okay, okay.
Chief Carmen, Detectives Flores and Kowalski.
- Hi.
- Oh, wow.
I don't know if you remember me, but we met, like, five years ago.
You gave a speech at my graduation from the Academy.
I'm sorry, I don't.
But Kowalski's familiar.
Any relation to Don Kowalski? - Yeah, he's my father.
- And you're in I.
A.
? I would have loved to have seen his face when he heard that news.
- How did he take it? - Fine.
He's totally fine with it.
Uh-huh.
You and I need to sit down and have a drink and talk.
I look forward to it.
Chief Carmen has a situation that needs our immediate attention.
The superintendent believes I have a mole in my department.
- What do you believe? - I don't know.
I don't want to believe it's one of my detectives.
I handpicked these people.
But the superintendent feels differently.
Why? For two years now, we've been after the Nigerian crime boss Dunsimi.
In the past six months, we've had two sting operations go south.
And you think someone tipped him off.
There's no other way he could have known.
This last raid, his goons were waiting, and we walked right into an ambush.
One of my detectives was shot.
She's in I.
C.
U.
right now, fighting for her life.
We need to find this person as soon and as quietly as possible.
This takes top priority.
Was that a hop? No.
Okay, yes.
I'm just excited to be working with Chief Carmen.
I mean, the woman is brilliant.
Do you have any idea what she's accomplished? She had the best record for the most arrests in the history of homicide.
- Wow.
- Five years ago, she transferred to organized crime.
She's already brought down two crime families.
When do you find time to sleep? Oh, come on, you're saying you've never gotten excited about meeting someone before? Hell, yeah! I almost crashed my car after I met Lance Briggs, but that's completely different.
The man is fine.
You met Lance Briggs? Linebacker for the Bears Lance Briggs? How have I not heard about this? - Oh! - Oh, I'm sorry! Abby.
Danny.
Hi.
What are you doing here? I'm representing a police accountant.
He's accused of embezzling funds.
I'm confused.
I thought you worked in private practice.
I do, but I also take on cases here.
It's part of my pro bono work.
I was gonna tell you when we were having pizza, but you freaked out and didn't give me a chance.
[Scoffs.]
I didn't freak out.
- Yeah, you did.
- Okay, I did.
But you caught me off guard.
I'm sorry.
I'll give you More warning next time.
So, hey, how's your brother Richie? I read that he was involved in a shooting.
Yeah.
He's okay, I think.
If you need anything, anything at all, just give me a call.
- I'll do whatever I can.
- Thank you.
But it was a clean shooting.
He'll be fine.
Okay.
I'll see you around.
Yeah.
Your phone records show that you called McGinty's Bar at 6:15 a.
m.
, which happens to be three blocks away from where the raid happened.
Why does I.
A.
care who I call? Because one of your fellow detectives was shot and is fighting for her life in I.
C.
U.
You think I don't know that.
Someone is to blame for this.
We are just trying to find out who.
Then you should be talking to Dunsimi.
It was one of his men that shot her.
Who did you call? My brother.
He owns the place.
At 6:15 in the morning? Right.
We had a fight the night before.
I was upset.
I called to apologize.
If you don't believe me, call him.
He'll be happy to complain about me being a morning person.
- How many people in your unit? - 20.
And how many of them knew about both stings? You're looking in the wrong place.
- How many? - It's not one of us.
So how do you explain the two failed sting operations? - Bad luck.
- Bad luck.
It's interesting you say that, because according to your financials, you've had nothing but good luck.
Want to tell me how a Detective can afford a house on Lake Shore Drive and a sailboat? By divorcing a cardiologist.
Oh, okay, that's it.
Get down here now! Come on! Now, how well do you know Kristen Dey? Kristen was a good detective and an even better friend.
Where were you during the raid? Right next to Kristen.
You saw her get shot? - It should have been me.
- What do you mean? I froze.
There were bullets flying everywhere, and I froze.
Kristen pushed me down, and it wasn't till it was all over that I saw her lying there.
Babcock is checking out.
His background and financial were clean--no red flags.
We're just waiting to get his phone records back.
Who's that? Dunsimi and his hit man, Jeb Sall.
What'd you find out? Dunsimi runs several roofing companies on the north side.
He employs college kids to work for him to make it appear legit.
These college kids do the actual drug running? Well, Chief Carmen's office hasn't been able to prove anything yet, but these kids are scared for their lives.
No one's talking.
From what she said, Dunsimi's responsible for the 18 Colombians they found in dumpsters all over town.
When did you talk to Chief Carmen? When I called her to get the pictures.
I am not being a kiss-ass.
I just feel like the more information one has, the better equipped one is to solve the mystery.
What you got? Oh, well, we've narrowed it down to three detectives-- McClaren, Edgecombe, and Dey.
All three knew about both stings.
We're doing background and financial checks.
Anything pop? Well, yesterday there was a money transfer made into McClaren's account for $300,000.
Where'd the money come from? Well, we're still checking it out.
They bounce that sucker all over the globe.
But the latest one we found came from a bank in London.
London-- seems suspicious.
Except McClaren's mother is from a wealthy Irish family.
It could be an inheritance.
Edgecombe seems clean, except for the second sting.
He wasn't there.
Apparently he was at home with a 103-degree temperature.
I've got a call into his doctor to check his alibi.
And Kristen Dey? Her husband closed all their accounts yesterday and put their house up for sale.
We're going to the hospital now to talk to him.
You really think it could be Dey? No.
And I really hope it's not.
Keep me posted.
[Cell phone ringing.]
I - Hey.
You okay? - Laura called.
And Richie had to go back into Internal Affairs.
Oh, mom, I'm sure it's nothing.
Well, you need to find out because I can't reach your father.
Well, I'm kind of in the middle of something here.
That's more important than your brother? Okay, you're right.
Don't worry.
And don't tell me not to worry.
Just check on your brother! - Your mom? - Yeah.
This Richie stuff is really rough on her.
I can't imagine One of my boys You need to go.
What about Kristen Dey's husband? I can handle it.
Just call me when you're done.
I'll pick you up.
Thank you.
You said in your previous statement, and I quote, "I saw the gun when my partner placed it on the ground.
" Well, you left out the part where I said he cleared the gun.
Did you see the gun on the ground before your partner cleared it? Yes or no? It's a simple question.
Richie, where's your union rep? I I was performing chest compressions on the kid as Brody cleared the gun.
That's not what I asked you.
I asked you if you saw the gun.
In truth, you don't even know if Jamarcus actually had a gun.
The call from dispatch said it was an armed robbery in progress.
Did you see a gun before you shot Jamarcus Lawrence? I saw a flicker of metal.
All right? I had a second to react.
For all you know, what you saw was Jamarcus' cell phone.
They found it right next to the body.
I saw the video of the robbery.
Jamarcus had his hands in his pockets the whole time.
The clerk never saw a gun.
He only assumed Jamarcus had a gun, just like you did.
It's Detective Kowalski.
I need a union rep up here now.
I read your file.
Seems you got a habit of reacting first and questioning later.
What are you asking me? Did you rough up that drug dealer in '09? That was a lie.
I think the only lies are the ones coming out of your mouth.
We've got a witness that saw your partner plant the gun! Bullshit! Sit down, Kowalski.
Sit down, Kowalski! No, I am done until I get a union rep.
You're done when I tell you you're done.
Sit down.
- I'm not sitting down.
- Sit down.
Sit down, Kowalski! [Gasps.]
[Chuckles.]
I took you off this case, Kowalski.
Family cannot investigate family.
What part of that statement are you not understanding? I'm sorry, sir.
If I so much as catch you breathing in the area of this case, I will kick your ass out of here and have you back on the street shoveling shit! - Are we clear? - Yes, sir.
[Telephone ringing.]
Yeah? You sure? Okay.
Got it.
They tracked the $300,000 in McClaren's account to a bank in Nigeria.
He is looking good for this.
Now, go get your partner.
You are on surveillance.
- Excuse me.
- Sorry.
Richie.
Damn.
Richie.
Richie! Hey! - Abby, hold the rail.
- [Sighs.]
Hey.
So why didn't you call me back? I'm sorry.
I just-- you know, I didn't feel like talking to anybody, you know? Are you okay? What can I do? You can get your I.
A.
buddy off my ass.
Carl Scott is not my buddy.
Abby, he thinks I'm lying, all right? He says there wasn't a gun.
Are you sure you saw it? What, you too? No, of course not.
You know I believe you.
Everything's gonna be fine.
You don't know that.
No, but I know you you're a good cop.
You would not have shot that kid if you didn't have to.
Yeah, well, apparently the truth doesn't matter to Internal Affairs.
That's not true.
Look, I know Carl Scott is a jerk, but he's just doing his job.
Doing his job? Abby, he called me a liar and is accusing Brody of planting a gun.
I mean, how is that doing his job? Okay, I am not defending Carl Scott.
Excuse me, but it sounded like you were.
I just understand where he's coming from.
You understand? This is a really tough job.
Damn it, Abby, do not tell me that.
I don't want to know my own sister is putting other cops through the same kind of hell I just went through.
That's not what I meant.
Carl Scott does not represent Internal Affairs.
There are a lot of good people working for I.
A.
who work very hard to prove cops innocent Despite the lack of respect they get.
Hey.
Everything cool? Yeah, everything's just great, man.
You okay? I should go talk to him.
No, no, no.
It's okay.
I'll take care of him.
I got his back.
What do you mean? What? I got his back.
What the hell you think it means? [Door closes.]
You okay? I got to go back upstairs.
I just have a couple more questions.
Did Kristen seem nervous or worried about anything the day of the shooting? No.
If anything, she was excited.
They thought they finally had that bastard Dunsimi.
Did she have any problems with anyone else in the department? What? What are you doing here? What exactly is Internal Affairs accusing my wife of doing? We're just helping with an investigation.
Oh, my God.
You think my wife is the mole.
What? How did-- Kristen suspected months ago that there was a leak.
They all did.
And then they knew something was wrong when the first sting went bad.
Do you know if she suspected anyone in her unit? If she did, she didn't tell me.
You have to find this bastard.
We will.
I promise.
[Woman crying softly.]
My baby Jamarcus.
[Continues crying.]
Mom, it's gonna be okay.
That was Papadol.
Detective Dey just died.
Her poor husband-- I can't even imagine.
Those kids are too young to be without their mom.
I am glad Kristen isn't the informant.
Shane McClaren, twelve o'clock.
[Camera shutter clicking.]
Check out those shoes.
Ew.
Must be a Packers fan.
Or he could just like the color.
Nope.
Born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin.
I can spot a cheesehead a mile away.
But can you follow one? If I had 300 grand in my bank account, I'd be jumping for joy.
I'd be buying season tickets.
[Engine turning.]
[Camera shutter clicking.]
Why does that guy look so familiar? - Holy mother - What? That's Jeb Sall.
The guy that works for Dunsimi? What's he doing working in a flower shop? What's he doing talking to Shane? Looks like we found our informant.
I wonder who he's calling.
Uh-oh.
We just got made.
[Engine turning.]
Fasten your seat belt.
[Tires squealing.]
[Sirens wailing.]
Say hello to the blue wall.
You need to move these cars now.
I'm sorry.
I can't do that.
We got a gas leak.
Oh, gas leak, my ass.
Move these cars Unless you want to come down to Internal Affairs for a chat.
[Sighs.]
At least we know who he called.
That's odd.
Shane left his door open.
Police.
Don't move.
- You scared me.
- What are you doing here? Shane called me.
He wanted to talk.
The door was open when I arrived, but he wasn't here.
So you thought you'd look for him in the drawer? I was looking for paper to leave him a note.
You looking for this? Yes.
That's mine.
My grandmother gave it to me.
I thought I'd lost it.
So you and Shane For a couple years now.
Why the big secret? He's one of my detectives.
There are no rules about dating in the department.
I'm his superior officer.
If word got out that I was seeing Shane, every assignment I would have given him would have been questioned.
The closet's clean.
Looks like he left in a hurry.
You want to tell me what's going on? You're not gonna like it.
We think Shane is the informant.
That's ridiculous.
We saw him talking to Jeb Sall.
- What? Where? - A flower shop on Wells.
Looks like Sall works there.
No, he works at Dunsimi's roofing company.
There's got to be another reason.
Shane wouldn't do this, not to me.
I'm sorry, but all the evidence points to Shane.
If he's innocent, why would he be running? Oh, God.
What? Did Jeb Sall see you? I don't know.
He could have.
Well, if he did, it would explain why Shane is running.
I'm--I'm not following.
If Shane is the informant, he's not running from Internal Affairs.
He's running from Dunsimi.
If he works for Dunsimi, wouldn't he protect him? Not if Shane's cover was blown.
Dunsimi would see Shane as a threat.
The last thing he wants is Shane going to the authorities and turning state's evidence.
Don't you see? Shane is a dead man.
We've got to find him before Dunsimi does.
Okay, well, if I was on the run, the first thing I'd do is say good-bye to my family.
I'll get someone over to his mother's house.
Okay.
You close to your family? Yeah.
[Sighs.]
I never had that.
Shane was the closest I've got.
I heard about your brother Richie.
How's he doing? He's okay.
We checked Shane's bank accounts-- no transactions since this morning.
We put a track on his cell phone, but no luck.
My guess is he popped the battery.
But we are pulling his cell phone records to see who he's called in the past 24 hours.
What about his mom? Sweet lady, but a tad out of it.
Said the last time she saw Shane was at Kennedy's inauguration.
We're setting up a trace on the line, in case he calls in.
And Chief Carmen said she'd let us know if he called her again.
What? She's not gonna turn in her lover.
You heard what she said.
We have to find Shane before Dunsimi does.
She's scared for him.
Of course she's gonna tell us.
Put a car at Chief Carmen's house, in case Shane shows up.
I think we should put out a BOLO on Shane.
On a cop? Are you serious? Yeah.
Isn't it better our guys find him than Dunsimi? Yeah, she's right? [Sighs.]
- Riggs.
- Hey, Kowalski.
Something on your mind? Yeah, I just heard over the wire they, uh, put out a BOLO on Shane McClaren.
Don't know him.
He's a Detective.
He works O.
C.
They put a BOLO out on a cop? They say what for? Questioning-- you know, like they always do.
But here's the real kicker.
Guess whose daughter put out the BOLO.
Yeah.
Must make you feel really proud, huh? I'm proud of all my kids.
I don't know how you can say that with a straight face, man.
'Cause that rat were my daughter, I would kick her ass.
You call my daughter anything other than her name again, I'll break every bone in your body.
If I file assault charges, what are you gonna do? You gonna get your bitch daughter to clean it up for you, huh? We turned the corner.
My partner was in front of me, and I saw the suspect turn and point a gun at us.
My partner shot twice, and the suspect fell to the ground.
- Why didn't you shoot? - I didn't have a clean shot.
What'd you do then? My partner, Officer Kowalski, ran to the victim, and I cleared the gun.
You cleared the gun? - Yes.
- Where'd you clear the gun to? Officer Brody, I asked you a question.
Where'd you clear the gun to? A few feet away from the suspect.
Did you pick it up or kick it? - I don't remember.
- You don't remember.
No.
It all happened so fast.
There was a lot going on.
My partner just shot a kid.
[Door opens.]
Abby, you in here? Yeah.
Hurry it up.
We just got a call.
They found a body under overpass.
The description fits Shane.
Okay.
[Toilet flushes.]
[Indistinct chatter over police radio.]
- Must be my lucky night.
- Internal Affairs.
Or not.
Relax, we're not here for you.
We're here about the body.
Okay.
What say you and me grab a drink after this? What say you stop the sweet talk and tell us what you got? Male, mid-30s, couple of slugs in the gut.
Who found him? Homeless guy searching for food.
Says the body's still warm.
He's being bagged and tagged right now.
It's Jeb Sall.
You think Shane did this? If Chief Carmen's right, maybe Dunsimi sent Jeb after Shane.
Maybe self-defense? Maybe.
We got to find Shane before anyone else ends up dead.
[Rock music.]
Unh! I'm not here to hurt you.
I'm not here to hurt you.
Then why are you here? I didn't know where else to go.
You could try turning yourself in.
I never would have made it to the precinct.
As you know, there is a mole in my department.
I'm being set up.
Sit.
Start at the beginning.
About three months ago, Jeb came to me and said he wanted out of the Dunsimi organization.
He agreed to feed me information.
In exchange, I would cut him a deal when we busted Dunsimi.
Does anyone else know about this? Nobody.
It wasn't safe for either of us.
What was your meeting with Jeb Sall about? I wanted him to find out who the informant was.
He refused.
He said it was too dangerous for him.
Well, he was right about that.
You don't know.
Jeb's dead.
He was shot and dumped.
Why didn't you go to Chief Carmen? I don't want her involved.
Because you love her.
Julie and I-- it's complicated, but Yeah.
I know she would do anything to protect me.
And I won't ever put her in that kind of danger.
When did you last talk to her? This morning.
She left just after breakfast.
Get up.
I've got to make a call.
[Liquid pouring.]
[Sighs.]
You know, honey, Richie's okay.
He's safe.
This I.
A.
investigation will be over soon, and he'll be back on the job in a couple of days.
He could have died.
He didn't.
Why couldn't you have been a plumber? [Chuckles.]
I saw the pain in her eyes.
- Who? - Jamarcus' mother.
I realized how close I came to being her, to feeling that kind of pain.
How does a mother ever recover from something like that? - You saw Mrs.
Lawrence? - Mm.
- Where? - At her house.
I took her a cake.
Why? Why would you do something like this? If I.
A.
finds out, honey I know you'd never hurt Richie, but what were you thinking? I don't know.
I--I needed to see her.
I don't know why.
I-I just needed to.
I don't understand you sometimes.
Sometimes? What is that? What happened to you? Oh, I-I pulled an Abby.
I wasn't paying attention and walked straight into a door.
I told you she takes after you.
I think Chief Carmen may be involved with Dunsimi.
You're actually accusing your hero of being the informant? She lied to us tonight.
Shane never called her to go to his apartment.
So she was there to clear any evidence of-- 'Cause she couldn't afford any connection to Shane once he was made.
We told her about Shane's meeting with Jeb Sall.
And once she realized Jeb was an informant She called Dunsimi.
And Dunsimi had Jeb killed, knowing we would think it was Shane.
That all sounds good in theory, but we cannot go after the Chief of Organized Crime because you two have a hunch.
Well, let's get some proof.
Hey.
Sorry about that.
Don't be.
I love Aretha.
You keep saying you're not the mole.
Want to prove it? I'm glad you took me up on my offer.
I'm glad you were able to join me.
Dirty Martini, gin, please.
Any word on Shane? No, not yet.
So How did your dad really feel about you joining I.
A.
? I have never seen him so mad.
He's still not talking to me.
I'm sorry.
I know how that feels.
I haven't spoken to my father in 20 years.
To new friends.
New friends.
I have to tell you something.
I brought you here under false pretenses.
I'm intrigued.
I've admired your work for years.
I use to follow your cases when you were in homicide.
You could say I'm a fan.
That's very flattering.
So why did you leave homicide? You were so good.
Homicide is and always will be a boys club.
I was never gonna make Captain.
I needed more.
Organized Crime gave that to me.
[Voice over radio.]
Well, it's certainly been good for you.
- You ready to do this? - No.
It's not her.
There has to be something you're missing.
I know Julie, and she wouldn't do this.
I hope you're right.
Make the call.
Prove me wrong.
What do you want me to say? Tell her you have evidence.
You're going in with a team to bust Dunsimi.
It's the only way to prove you're innocent.
So what's next for you After you conquer organized crime? Oh, come on.
This can't be it.
You're brilliant.
There's nothing you couldn't do.
Between you and me-- superintendent.
You'd be amazing.
[Cell phone ringing.]
I totally agree.
I need to take this.
Shane, are you okay? I'm on my way.
It's me.
You got to get out of there.
McClaren's put a team together.
He's on his way over.
Just get out of there.
What's going on? We know you're the informant.
An accusation like that would require proof.
We have proof.
Don't we? Yes, we do.
Your phone call to warn Dunsimi was nicely recorded and should be on its way to the D.
A.
's office.
I think I'd like to call my attorney.
Do you even care that you're responsible for one of your own being killed? I'm very sorry for what happened to Kristen.
She was a great detective.
But her death is not my responsibility.
What about Jeb Sall? I won't be losing any sleep.
Jeb Sall was a ruthless killer.
Just because he discovered morality in the dictionary does not make him a Saint.
I still don't understand.
Why did you do this? Sometimes in life you make compromises.
But Dunsimi? He's one of the worst.
How do you let an animal like that roam the streets when you have the proof to put him away? I took down two crime families with the information I got from Dunsimi.
What I did made the streets of Chicago much safer.
Tell that to the 18 Colombians your guy butchered.
As long as they're killing each other, why get in the way? What about Shane? I did what I had to do.
Did you just wake up one morning without a soul? I was doing my job.
I thought you'd understand the sacrifices I made.
You made a few of your own.
We're not talking about Detective Kowalski.
We're talking about you.
This interview's over.
- We're not done.
- What's going on? Ladies, it's been a pleasure.
What the hell was that? She didn't call her attorney.
She called the Feds.
She's turning state's evidence against Dunsimi.
To save her own ass.
Either way, it's a victory, all right? Dunsimi's off the street-- one less drug dealer out there.
Now, go home and get some rest.
Good job, Detectives.
You okay? Yeah.
Well, you were right about one thing.
The woman is definitely brilliant.
[Knock on door.]
- Hi.
- Hi.
I just, uh-- I wanted to thank you for not hitting me in the head with a beer bottle.
Oh.
How are you really doing? Let's see I just found out the woman I loved not only didn't love me but was framing me for a crime she was committing.
I'm not doing good.
I'm sorry.
Hey, listen, I didn't come here to cry on your shoulder.
I really did want to thank you.
- I owe you my life.
- I was just doing my job.
Well, Detective Kowalski You do it quite well.
I'll see you around.
Yeah.
- Oh, there you are.
- Hey.
I have been knocking on your door all night.
Where have you been? Working on a case.
- You look like crap.
- Thanks.
- You okay? - Just tired.
I hardly ever see you anymore.
I think you worked better hours when you worked patrol.
I know.
We'll do something together soon.
- I promise.
- Sunday? I thought you were going to the game with Danny.
- No.
Canceled.
- Why? Oh, come on, we both know who Danny would rather take to the game.
He's so not interested in me.
And don't even say it.
I wasn't going to.
You're right.
Danny likes me.
But you don't want a relationship.
I know.
Right now I've got enough to worry about.
Wait, something happen.
What are you not telling me? Nothing.
I'm fine.
Okay.
Get some rest.
Since when did you become kinky? - We need to talk.
- Now? Did you plant the gun? What the hell, Abby? Just tell me the truth.
No, I didn't plant the gun.
They have a witness who saw you take the gun out of your pants and place it on the ground.
And you believe some stranger over me? Uncuff me and get the hell out.
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head and just like the guy whose feet are too big-- [Siren chirps.]
Hey.
You need to talk to your mother Now.
I could use a ride.
Hey.
Is the coast clear? Your father's upstairs taking a shower.
What are you doing here so late? He stopped by to see me.
He's worried about you.
Oh, he's talking to you again.
That's a good sign, hmm? - Mom.
- Hmm? Are you okay? I'm fine.
[Pans rattle.]
Then what's with all the cakes? [Softly.]
Mom Hey, hey, hey, hey.
It's okay.
[Sobbing.]
It's okay.
I know.
I know.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Richie's okay.
He's safe now.
He's safe.
It's okay.
