Rookie Blue s05e08 Episode Script

All of those times I brought him coffee without him even asking.
- Who? - Oliver.
What do you mean who? Look, it's more than a boss thing.
Okay, I trusted him.
I would even go so far as to say I loved him.
But what did he do? He just stabbed me in the back.
- Back stabbing's not really Oliver's thing.
- I mean, all that thought that I put into his secret Santa gift.
Do you even understand how hard it is to find something creative and and thoughtful for under $30? - I think maybe you're good on the coffee.
- I'm genuinely mad right now.
- Well, why don't you talk to him? - Uh-uh.
- No? - No, I'm gonna pretend everything's fine.
- Okay, that's That'll work.
- It will work because I'm just gonna put a smile on my face until I'm actually happy.
- All right, but you're not known for your poker face.
- Really? - Uh-huh.
- What am I thinking right now? - Probably that if I don't tell you you look happy, you'll kill me in my sleep.
- Ha! That is what I wanted you to think.
I was actually thinking something completely different.
- Okay, dear, whatever gets you through the night.
- You get me through the night.
What I need is someone to get me through the day.
- Really? - I'm still mad.
- I'd like to open up things to the room.
Is there anybody with us here today that is here for the first time? Um, Dave? You mentioned on your way in that this was your first meeting.
It is Dave, right? - Yeah.
Uh, my name's Dave.
Hi, Dave.
I'm not really sure what to say.
I'm not that good at sharing.
I mean, you know, unless you've had a few, right? Um, I guess I'm here because my roommate suggested it.
He thought it might slow things down a little, maybe help me gain some balance.
I have a pretty stressful job, and I lost custody of my son.
Who turned out actually not to be my son.
I mean, it's not that I'm an addict, per se.
It's just that I'm just feeling a little lost.
So, yeah, that's that's it.
Thanks, Dave.
- Thanks.
Hey, man, thanks for waiting.
- No problem, how was it? - It was great.
- Seriously? - Yeah.
I mean, I know I didn't want to go at first.
But now that I did, I think it was a good idea.
Uh, it was nice just to talk, and I feel lighter.
Seriously, it was awesome.
- Supersede.
"C-E-D-E?" - S-E-D-E.
It's Latin for seat.
I watch a lot of Jeopardy when I can't sleep.
- How's the warrant coming? - Well, it'd be going a lot faster if the spell check was working.
- Well, I need it as soon as Oliver gives me a team of uniforms.
- Detective, if possible, I'd like to be a part of this raid you're doing.
- Why do you think I'm letting you write the warrant? You're gonna lead the team from 15.
- You cannot be serious.
- What? I've done entries.
I'm good at tactical and Oh.
- What is it? - It's from Dex's lawyer.
- Yeah? - He's going for full spousal support, child support, and he wants Leo five nights a week.
- No, no, no.
No, there's no way he can ask for that.
- Well, he's got the best family lawyer in the city repping him, which I don't even know how he can afford her.
If I don't agree to this, they're taking me to court.
He's going for sole custody.
- They're They're just trying to scare you.
- It's working.
- Good morning, John.
- Detective Peck's raid, I see you've allocated units to assist.
- I have.
Underground gambling operation, funding gang activity.
- It's petty criminals playing poker in a dive bar.
- In our own backyard.
- Yeah, we shut it down, another one pops up a block away.
It's a waste of resources.
- Inspector? - I'd like you to double up patrols in Swansea for the week.
- I don't have the uniforms for both.
- This Swansea issue is a delicate one.
And it's important to me.
- It's a middle-class neighborhood with a crime rate that's well - Is that a no? - If I pull the plug on this raid, I I gotta give Peck a reason.
- And I'm sure you'll come up with one.
Thank you, Staff.
Truly, I appreciate your cooperation.
- Screw you, Wednesday.
- Hey, good morning, sir.
Hey, I just want to give you a heads up that Detective Peck asked that I be a point-man on the raid team.
- Uh, forget about that raid, it's not happening, not today.
Sit down.
Welcome to Wednesday.
Today our focus is on community policing, visibility and optics.
Hold onto your hats, folks, today we're doubling our patrols in Swansea.
- Ooh, emergency.
Bust a bunch of hipsters drinking Blue Ribbon in High Park.
- McNally, you can be late or you can be mouthy.
You choose one.
So, now that I'm publicly shaming you, Epstein, thank you.
You blew off the breakfast meeting that I set up for you with Sergeant Rollins in the Intelligence Unit.
- I'm sorry, sir, I I completely forgot.
- Well, so much for intelligence.
But, Diaz, you're here.
I'm so happy, you bothered to show up at all.
I've been letting this slide, all of it.
For way too long, I've been your sounding board, your friend.
What does it get me? More problems.
What you do isn'tjust about you, it affects all of us.
Get it together.
Assignments are on the board.
Dismissed.
- I don't even know where Oliver went.
It's like he's been deleted.
You know, replaced by a company robot man.
- What? - You said something bad about another person.
We finally have something in common, McNally.
Uh, no, we'll always have Nick.
- Um-um.
We both know this detail's a joke.
- What has happened to you? Hey, did you lose your magical Girl Guide sash? You know the one that bestows all your extra-nice superpowers? - Uh-huh, funny.
- You loved that sash.
- That's funny, that's really funny.
All I'm saying is that this shift is going to be full of the stupidest calls.
Noise complaints and stolen garden gnomes.
- 15-19, we've got an animal complaint in your zone.
A man reports his hostile cat has trapped him in his closet.
- See? How? See?! - Okay, then let somebody else take the call.
- Fine.
- You're gonna dodge a call, really? - 15-19, are you 10-8? - Okay.
Uh, 15-19, we're on our way.
Shut up.
- Hey.
- Hey, sorry about the raid.
Did Oliver say why he's calling it off? - Oh, a political situation.
Manpower, location, a few other buzz words.
You know, but it's it's fine.
These guys play every Wednesday, so Which is why I'm here.
Can I talk to you for a second? Okay, this can't go further than us.
I know where Dex is getting his money for his lawyer.
We caught him on surveillance at the gambling club.
He's a regular.
- Dex isn't in a gang.
- No, he's at their poker game every Wednesday.
- He said he had therapy on Wednesdays.
- Yeah.
You know, okay, when we do this raid, if he's in there, he'll be charged with being in an illegal gaming house.
He can serve up to two years.
- You're gonna arrest him? - Traci, you're not responsible for this guy.
You're responsible for Leo and yourself.
Okay, that's it.
And as soon as this raid happens, okay, which it will, eventually, he won't have a case against you.
- Unbelievable.
- Chloe knows something's up.
She keeps asking me what's going on.
She knows I've been avoiding her.
- You can't control what comes out of Chloe's mouth.
Okay, could you please just not tell her? - I won't.
- If you could keep our stuff between us, that'd be great.
So what was Oliver talking about on Parade? You missed some sort of meeting? - Uh, yeah, I was supposed to sit down with this guy from Intelligence.
Buy him a coffee, see what the job entails.
- But you missed it 'cause you were chaperoning me.
- It wasn't a big deal.
- Look, I'm good, okay? We're cool, I don't need a babysitter.
- I know.
- Unit 15-04, call radio.
- 15-04, go.
- 15-04, attend 4-9 Lakeport Avenue.
Neighbor reports unoccupied vehicle idling for a prolonged period of time.
- Copy.
- Prolonged period of time, better step on it.
The planet needs our help.
- Living the dream.
Whole thing smells like coconuts.
- What do you mean? - I mean the car, it smells like coconuts.
Gotta be sun block or something.
- The door's open.
Hello? Is anyone home? This is the police, we're coming inside.
- We got a complaint about your vehicle.
Is anyone home? - This is the police, is anyone home? Hey! I'm in here! I'm here! In here, help me! I'm in here! Hey! Oh, my God.
They locked me in.
- Who? - Whoever was robbing the place, man.
I walked in the house, someone was here.
So I ran in here, they slammed the door.
- Are you the homeowner? - Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I live here with my wife and my son My stepson.
- I'm gonna go check the rest of the house.
- Where are they now? - Oh, my My son's at school, my wife's at the airport.
We were we were on our way out of town, and I forgot my passport, right? So I bombed back here, and when I pulled in the driveway, the front door was open.
- Is that your car out front? - Yeah.
So I walk in and the place is like totally ransacked.
So I ran in to the studio here to check on my gear and then - All right, you said somebody locked you in.
- Uh, yeah, the door's busted.
It's been busted since we moved in, you can't open it from the inside.
- Main floor's clear, I'm heading upstairs.
- Yup! All right.
Let's just go from the top.
Chris, get up here! Dispatch, this is 15-04, requesting EMS and back up for a possible home invasion.
- Copy, 15-04.
EMS and backup are on route.
- Oh, thank God.
- Are you okay? - No, please help me.
- All right, you're gonna be all right.
So your mom and dad were going out of town for a week.
- He's not my dad.
He's a mistake that my mom made four years ago.
- Okay, point is they were leaving you here alone? - I'm 17.
- No school today? Come on, Seth, I'm not gonna bust you for skipping algebra.
- I wasn't even supposed to be here, okay? I ditched to go get this new console.
- Steam box? - You game? - Do noobs get ganked? - Didn't even get it unwrapped, somebody steals it.
- Okay, so your parents went to the airport, you ditched school, you're here, you're alone.
Did you lock the doors? - Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I locked them after they left, my mom's super paranoid.
- So what happened? - I don't know.
I came in, somebody jumped me from behind.
They threw that thing on my head and they tied me up.
I I didn't see anything, it all happened so fast.
When my stepdad came in, I thought the guy was back.
I thought for sure I was gonna die.
- I think that's it, that's a list of everything that's missing.
You know, like, the best I can tell.
It's like, iPads, silverware, which is kind of weird.
Thank God they didn't get in my studio.
- So you're a musician? - Yeah.
I quit my day job.
And now I'm I'm I'm producing, you know, tracks for friends and stuff and teaching guitar.
Follow your bliss, right? - Please don't quote "The Secret," I have a firearm.
- No, I'm just saying that you know, like you Whatever, you find a job you love and then you never work a day in your life.
- Right.
What does your wife do? - Jacqlyn, um PR.
She has her own firm.
Oh, my God.
I I have to call her, she's at the airport.
My phone's in the car, she's probably been calling.
- Okay, I'll go grab it right now.
- It eat your money or something? - No.
No, existential crisis.
I would like to be a granola bar guy, but I know that, in actuality, I'm probably a candy bar guy.
Am I selling myself short? I mean, should I get on a program? Always good with the words.
How's case work coming? - I'd rather be on the street, working a split in February.
- Yeah, it was easy, right? I mean, even when things were bad, at least they were They were clear.
Politics, man, has never been my thing, but it is now.
And, brother, it ain't It ain't me.
- 15 used to have this T.
O.
A while back, second best in the division.
Oliver Shaw, you heard of him? - Yeah, good looking guy, great with the ladies.
- Yeah, that's him.
Anyway, he had this thing he'd say to his rookies.
- Yeah, "A rookie always pays.
" - "Be the cop you are and not the cop you think you're supposed to be.
" You'll figure it out.
- Sam! About McNally - I know you were looking out for her.
And maybe she can't see that right now, but she will.
- No Have you ever had those? - I'm not going to apologize for interrupting 'cause you're happy to see me, you just don't know it yet.
- You're giving me the officers for my raid.
- You just wrecked the surprise.
- The team's suiting up right now.
We're just waiting on your word.
- Thank you, Staff Sergeant.
- Yeah, make it a clean bust.
Fill my cells, we'll call it even.
- Ten minutes I want the whole team in Parade for a briefing.
- Yes, sir.
- Okay.
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
- Get anything from the neighbors? - Oh, nothing much.
They paid too much for their house, just sold their second car.
Was the dad any help? - Just a long list of stolen items.
- Okay, so the bad guy hits the house the same day that they leave for vacation.
Either he was watching the place or he knew of their travel plans.
- He must have known the family, right? I mean, how else would they have known that Ewan's door locked in the studio and closing it would lock him in? I gotta make a call.
- Okay.
Weirdo.
- Where's Seth? Where's my son? - Okay, ma'am.
- He's upstairs, he's fine.
Everything is okay.
- Please.
- Okay, the officer said we were robbed.
Did you catch whoever did it? - No, not yet, we're trying to figure out who knew you were going to be out of town.
- My son was attacked.
My home violated.
There are police cars on my lawn.
The neighbors are freaking out.
- Jackie just Okay, they're trying to help.
Don't make this into a big deal.
He's fine.
- Sweetheart, are you okay? - Yeah, fine, I swear.
- Oh, I'm so sorry that this happened to you.
Whatever they took, we're gonna get it back, all right? Okay, I'm so sorry.
It'll gonna be okay.
- How'd those two end up married? - Opposites attract? - Seriously, he's like the Big Chill, she's strung like a violin.
- Hey, look at this window.
Most of the glass landed outside, which means this window was broken from the inside.
- So how'd they get in? - I'm the bad guy, no forced entry.
So would I pick the lock? - Sounds like you had a key, bad guy.
- Maybe.
So I come in, right? I tie up Seth, rob, rob, rob, then I break the window.
Why? It's noisy and someone might see me.
- Because you didn't want anyone to know how you got in.
- Or maybe you staged the whole thing.
- Or maybe it was an inside job.
Ewan didn't even seem fazed by the robbery.
- Oh, I'm gonna take that bet.
- You're on.
- So why would he go home in the middle of it? - Exactly.
- Who do you like for it, the son? - No, I mean, that means he would have had to tie himself up.
I think my money's on Jacqlyn.
She just kept apologizing to the kid like it was her fault.
I think she set it up, and she didn't expect the son to be there.
- So why would she let her husband go home in the middle of it? - Exactly.
- It's true, they both have means, hire some goon, give him a key, and opportunity.
Vacation's a great alibi, but where's the motive? - Right here.
I pulled the family's financials.
Jacqlyn's PR firm is going under.
Their house is one mortgage payment away from foreclosure and this collection agency is all over them for unpaid bills.
- But they always pay their home insurance, no matter what.
- That's right.
- Ahh.
- Yeah, so I came in because they said they needed help.
- We we do need your help, Ewan, we - Do you? - Yes.
- Seriously, man, because I'll be honest with you.
I'm starting to feel a little trapped here.
All right, like like like you think that maybe I did something wrong.
Do I need a lawyer? - I don't know.
Do you feel like a suspect? - Yes.
- Look, I Personally, I'm gonna be honest with you.
I didn't think that myself until I saw some of this stuff, and then - What is it? What is this? Bank records, loans, so what? So what? What does this have to do with anything? - Well, you're broke, Ewan.
- Broke? - Yeah.
- Are you kidding? Man, my wife has her own business.
Have you seen our house? We're not broke.
- You're you're one payment away from losing that house and, according to this statement, your wife's about to lose her company.
- Okay.
All right, listen, man, I, um I gotta talk to Jacqlyn about this, all right? She she handles all the money stuff.
She'll know what is going on.
- Okay.
All right, look, Ewan, come here.
Between you and me, people around here are starting to think that maybe this was an inside job.
Insurance fraud.
Happens all the time.
- It wasn't.
- Are you sure? - Yes, yes.
- How do you know? - Because.
- I - Because I had a stash of pot in the studio, okay? And whoever broke in took it.
- Okay.
But according to your statement nothing was stolen from the studio.
- Yes, because it was weed and you guys are cops.
All right, it was in a stash can.
You would have had to know where it was.
Only a couple of people knew that.
- Help me out, Ewan.
Names would be a great start.
- A bet's a bet.
- Traci, we can't do this.
My lawyer was clear, right? No contact until an agreement was signed.
- You aren't going to therapy today.
- What's this? - Spadina and Baldwin every Wednesday, 2:00.
- It's a restaurant.
So what? - Those are surveillance photos.
We know about the gambling.
- You're blackmailing me? - I'm trying to keep you out of jail.
If you go there today, you'll be arrested.
Not maybe, definitely.
- Look, I'm sorry.
Okay, I'm trying to cover my legal fees.
I I didn't know how else to do it.
- Save it.
Just all that matters is that this stays between us, okay? - I get it.
- Dex, I'm serious.
- Traci, I I get it, I get it.
- I gotta get back to work.
- Hello, uh, hi, this is Officer Epstein, from 15 Division.
Yup.
Yes, I I'm sorry about this morning, but I was wondering if it would be possible to To reschedule my meeting with Sergeant Rollins? Yes.
No, I I understand he is a very busy man, but you know, come on.
Impossible? Flight used to be impossible, right? No.
No, I'm just saying that it's achievable.
Rescheduling a meeting is achievable.
Okay, yeah, I'll I'll call back then, thank you.
- It's finally quiet.
- Yeah, we're almost wrapped up.
- You got a suspect or something? - Working on it.
- You guys think my parents did it.
I'm not stupid.
They're at the police station, right? - Doesn't mean they had anything to do with it.
- It was probably one of my stepdad's friends.
He sells weed on the side.
My mom has no idea.
All they do is lie to each other and fight.
- Everybody's family has stuff.
- Yeah? Yours ever get you beat up? Rob their own house? - No, they didn't.
Seth, I'm sorry.
- Yeah, me too.
- Is there somebody I can call to make them hang out with you until your parents get back? - Nope.
There is nobody.
- So your husband's gonna be finished soon.
In the meantime, it'd be great if we can get your statement.
- Of course, I have nothing to hide.
- Nothing? No financial crisis? No looming bankruptcy? - I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
It's true, it's just difficult to hear it put like that.
- Yeah, you're in financial ruin, it's such a good idea to take a vacation.
- I booked it months ago, we couldn't cancel it.
I thought maybe it would help our marriage.
We're not communicating very well these days.
I must look like such an idiot.
- No, honestly, look, I don't know what I would have done in your position.
- Wait.
Do you guys think I had something to do with the robbery? My son was attacked.
- We know.
Um, actually we think that the thief knew Ewan.
- His stash of pot was taken from his studio, and he just thinks that maybe one of his 420 friends might have had something to do with it.
- His stash of what? - His pot, his weed, his marijuana.
- Where was it? - Underneath his mixing board.
- But Ewan said the thief didn't go in the studio.
You sure the thief went in there? - Yes.
Why? We have another lead.
Jacqlyn hid a motion-triggered nanny cam in the husband's studio.
It's been there a couple of weeks.
- Trust, the foundation of marriage.
- She thought he was cheating on her because he had all these people coming in and out of the house like college kids and musicians.
- Probably selling weed.
He stopped short of admitting it, but a pound of kush? That's not personal use, even for a chronic.
- Well, maybe the camera caught who stole it.
- Yeah, good.
Okay, Peck, call Epstein, run it down, please.
- I feel bad for that woman, you know, it sucks.
Why can't she just say how she feels and tell him what's going on? - Path of least resistance, avoiding things is easy.
Kind of like you with Oliver.
- Or you, with everything.
- Team two is in position.
Moving in.
- Hands on the bar! Nobody move! Hands! Hands! Let me see your hands! Lock it down, nobody in or out! Stand down.
- Think they're trying to send us a message? - Oh, man.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- What happened with the raid? - Nothing happened.
They knew we were coming.
Not a single suspect, nobody.
Now my ass is in a sling unless I can figure out what went wrong.
This is - Steve, I am so sorry.
- Oh What'd you do? - I told Dex to avoid the game.
He said he wasn't gonna tell anybody.
- But have you not been paying attention? Dex is a liar.
Now, he lies and he plays you every time.
You have no idea what you just did.
- Hey, yeah, nanny cam is up, I'm looking at our guy now.
White, Caucasian, male, early 20s.
Looks like he went for the locked box but wasn't able to get in.
- Ewan said he had a hand gun in there.
It's completely legal, he's got all the paperwork.
I want you to get that camera back to the station and see if he can give us an ID.
- All right, will do.
- Oh, hey, man, there you are.
You seen my cell phone? - Yeah, good news, your dealer texted.
You can pick up your blow after shift.
Bad news, you should really put a password on your phone.
Oh, and we solved the case.
Thanks for all your help on that.
- You went through my text messages? - You lied about getting clean and used me for cover.
Seth.
You recognize this guy? - Uh, no, no.
It's just It's creepy, seeing the guy who broke in.
- You sure you've never seen him before? - Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sure.
- All right, well, don't worry, we'll have a positive ID on this guy before the end of the day.
- Look, Dov, I need a minute.
Okay, just Just slow down for a second.
Look, you're overreacting.
Why are you making such a big deal out of this? It's not like I'm your junkie brother.
- You shut your mouth.
- I've got this under control, man.
- Under control? You're late for work.
When you do show up, you're so busy trying to score you don't do your job.
- What are you gonna do? You you gonna rat me out? - I don't know.
- Look, I'm sorry, man, okay? I messed up, but don't do anything stupid - No, no, no, no.
Hey, Seth.
Seth! Hey, Seth! Come on, wake up! Wake up, stay with me.
He's breathing.
- This is 15-04.
We've got a teenage male with a gunshot wound to the head.
We need EMS here right away.
- Come on, buddy, come on, stay with us.
We're gonna get you outta here, all right? - Hey, hey, hey, stay still, Seth, okay? The ambulance is coming, but you can't move.
Can you tell me what happened? - Tim Crocket, that's the guy in the video.
He's my friend.
He said that no one would know.
- You helped him rob your house? - We just needed enough money so that we could get out of here.
- All right, it's okay, it's okay, don't worry about that.
- My stepdad came back and we panicked and Tim said that if we faked it that we'd be okay.
- Okay.
- But then you guys saw him on the video.
- Seth, don't worry about that right now, it's gonna be all right.
We're gonna get you out of here, just calm down.
Chris! - I couldn't even pull the trigger, right? I couldn't even do that.
- How bad is it? - I'm not sure.
He's lost a lot of blood, he's in shock.
Where's EMS? - They're close.
Here.
- Thank you.
All right, I need you to elevate his legs.
- But we can't move him.
- We don't have a choice, we gotta keep blood flowing to his brain.
Very good, Seth.
We're gonna get you out of here in no time.
- Do Do you smell gas? Oh, no, no, no.
The bullet hole from the gunshot.
Oh.
That's where the gas is coming from.
- Where is Epstein with that camera? - I don't know.
Maybe they got caught up closing down the scene.
- Lab guys love to pad their hours.
- Everyone else is gone except for Dov and Chris.
- Hmm.
- I'll call Dispatch, see if I can get them on the radio.
- Yeah, good.
- Okay, we we got to get out of here.
We're gonna have to risk moving him.
- We're trapped.
- What? - I'm serious.
It's locked.
The door must have closed behind me.
Wait, what are you doing? - Radioing for help.
- Well, what about the gas? The electricity from the radio could set it off.
- We don't get help, we're dead.
I repeat 10-33.
Be advised, there is a gas leak on the premises.
We're trapped in a room on the first floor in the southeast corner.
I repeat, we are trapped.
- There's a gas leak.
They're working on shutting the gas and the power down, but we can't go in until then.
- Well, we can't just stand here.
- If that whole house is filled with gas, one little spark and - He's bleeding out.
We gotta get out of here now.
- I'm sorry what I said about your brother.
I should have never said that.
- You shouldn't have done a lot of things.
- I just feel like I just feel like everything's been grinding me down.
I just woke up I woke up one day and everything was grey.
- Chris? Chris! Chris, no, no, no.
Chris! Come on, no, Chris.
Wake up, man.
Wake up, come on, Chris! Hey.
Come on, get up.
- What happened? - Get up.
Get up! We gotta We gotta get Seth out of here.
Okay, wait.
All right, let's go.
Okay.
Okay, okay, careful.
Ready? One, two, three.
Okay, nice and easy.
- Yeah, yeah, great, thanks.
Okay, the power's off, let's get in there.
- Sam! They're coming out, let's go! - All right, one, two.
- You okay? - Yeah, I think so.
The medic said the kid should pull through.
- Sounds like Diaz owes you a beer.
- You know, I I gotta sit down.
Do you mind if I sit in your car? - Of course.
- Bust was a bust.
- Yeah, I heard.
- It was nice though, they left treats.
A lot of criminals forget that personal touch, it really makes a difference.
Although, the only problem is now I kind of want to eat one.
But would that be perpetuating a negative stereotype? Accepting a bribe? Destroying evidence? Nothing? You're not You're not listening to me at all, are you? - Sorry, just these photos on the board, the date stamps.
When did Steve start surveillance on these guys? - Ah, it was a month ago.
Why? - These photos are from two months ago.
- Then those aren't from this case.
- Right.
They must be misfiled.
I'll take it up with Detective Peck.
You said this had nothing to do with me.
This was all about me.
- No, now is not the time.
- These are not from a case.
You were following Dex.
Why? - I'm serious, you don't want to have this conversation here.
- Answer the question.
- Wow, okay.
In case you missed that police lesson in college, what you did today was grounds for dismissal.
- Oh, uh, what, and you tailing my ex with zero probably cause, what is that, solid detective work? - No, I had him followed because I thought he was a deadbeat and a problem.
You know what? I was right about both, okay? I was just looking out for you.
- It was wrong.
- Oh, great.
- Peck, what happened? - I'm just piecing that together myself.
- You told me that this bust was going to be a win for both of us.
- Yeah.
- Now, I have to explain to the Inspector why I gave you a team of uniforms to kick in a door with nothing on the other side.
- Oliver, this wasn't Steve's fault.
- No, of course it was.
My intel was wrong.
I thought I knew what I was getting into, but I was wrong.
My apologies for wasting your time, Staff Sergeant.
- Hey, man, are we good? Look, Dov, I'm gonna get it together, all right? I mean, relapses are just part of the recovery process.
Look, I'm going to another meeting as soon as we finish work here.
- I'm not keeping your secret for you anymore.
I'm going to talk to Oliver.
- Wait! Look, I'll lose my job.
- I know how this works.
I had a junkie brother, remember? The more I help you keep you your secret, the longer you'll avoid dealing with it.
Eventually you won't know how to deal with it anymore, and I'll find you hanging from the ceiling or dead from an overdose.
I lose you either way.
- Just, look I'll talk to him, okay? I'll tell him the truth.
I mean, you know he's gonna fire me right on the spot, right? - Maybe or maybe he'll help you.
- Oh.
So much for backing me up.
- Dov, hey.
I've been trying to call you.
So how are you feeling? - Fine.
- Why don't we go get a bite to eat? I mean, the two of us haven't hung out in like forever, right? - Yeah, I think I'd rather just be alone tonight, if that's all right.
- Okay.
Dov, I just want to talk to you.
- Look, not tonight.
Sorry, Chloe, I just Not tonight.
- Dov.
- Wrong again.
- But, hey, at least I'm consistent.
- Keep it.
- Fine.
You know what, nice Andy would insist that you take it back, but mean Andy is going to pocket it.
Sucker.
What? Don't give me that look, okay? You've been digging mean Andy all day.
- I can admit it.
Part of me found it kind of cozy seeing you be a bitch.
It sort of Well, it fed me.
Fed a bitter petty thing I've got going on.
- Glad to be of service.
- The thing is, you're not very good at it.
Being mean Andy is like being Gail Peck.
And well, there are just a slew of advantages to being me, I suggest whatever you got going on to just get over it.
Oliver loves you.
He loves all of us.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Good to go? - I'm gonna meet you at the truck.
- Take your time.
- You okay? - No.
No, I'm super crappy.
It's like I did something to Wednesday and it's exacting its revenge.
- I don't know what to do about us.
You know, the situation, I just I really want it to be over, or over it.
- And you're not? - No, I'm not.
Not at all.
I said to myself, "Self" That's what I call myself.
I said, "Self, let's pretend.
"Okay, put a smile on your face and act as if you're happy and maybe you'll start to feel how you act.
" It's It's not my idea, I got it online.
It's called "act as if," and it's stupid, okay? But I don't know what else to do.
I mean, are you actually okay with this? - No, no.
And I don't think that's stupid.
I I, um I'm on your side, Andy, I always have been.
I always will be.
- Okay.
- Hey, Andy.
This has been the best part of my day by a long shot.
I just If you can believe that, thank you.
- Yeah, I can believe that, I mean, I'm amazing.
Act as if.
Good night.
