(siren wails)
The worst part is,
is I wanted Dov and Gail to get along.
I mean, I wanted them to spend time with each other. Man.
Yeah, well, the minute l decided to teII Sam
about my feeIings, he's gone, like magic,
really mean magic.
(Man) You're not gonna get away with this!
- Clifton, get back here! - (Andy) Hey!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey! Hey!
- Stop! Police! - Hey!
- (bat cIatters) - (Man) Take it easy, officer.
- Take it easy. - Give me your hands.
- Ohh. (grunts) - (handcuffs click)
Ohh. (pants)
You gotta be kidding me.
Look who I just caught.
Did this man attack you?
- Kind of. - CIifton.
I was just trying to talk some sense into the boy,
stop him from making a very serious mistake.
Nah, you were sticking your nose where it doesn't beIong.
That's only 'cause I believe in you, son.
I run a street program, and CIifton here,
during the holy sacrament of confession,
told me something he was gonna do that was very stupid,
- and I had to step in. - What'd he say?
I can't share that with you. I'm bound by an oath.
Yeah, well, we're bound by an oath, too.
He's a priest. He can't be lying.
Pfft. Priests Iie. Ever see that wafer they call bread?
Yeah. Come here.
(grunts)
(handcuffs click)
(sniffles and grunts)
(sniffIes) You know it's bad when you can't believe a priest.
(priest chuckIes) Don't believe in me, brother.
Save it for the Man Upstairs.
God sees the big picture.
Like it or not, he has a plan for all of us.
Yeah, well, if I'm living God's plan,
you can let him know that his timing's off, way off.
Absolutely.
Hey. What's, uh-- What's going on?
- Yeah. - Okay. Okay, fine.
Yeah, no. Keep--Keep walking,
but I didn't do anything wrong, so l'm done feeIing guiIty
for something I didn't do.
Chris, come on. It's been weeks.
I mean, you have to get over this. Nothing happened.
That's not the point, okay?
You let him in. You went around behind my back,
and you let someone get cIose to you.
You and Dov were my family...
And you're mine.
And I just stood there and let it happen.
(sighs)
Do you believe in anything?
Because of what happened with Luke?
Yes, and Sam...
you know, leaving like that.
(sighs) Well, having faith means
believing in things that don't always make sense.
Tooth fairy doesn't make sense.
I am the tooth fairy.
Last week, Leo lost a tooth. Cost me 20 bucks.
20 bucks?
Tooth fairy didn't have any change.
I might not need three, but it'd be good to have a, you know--
a few fresh faces ready, people who work the area.
They're totally talking about us.
l--l think l impressed him with the workbook stuff, so...
Would this have anything to do with the case Swarek is working?
Is Swarek working on a case? I...
Guy disappeared on me in the middle of the night,
- nothing but a voice mail. - (whistles)
Now, that's just--that's just rude.
Pick Peck. Pick Peck.
Well, I'm not choosing Peck.
I mean, she'd stick out in any crowd.
So I guess I'm gonna go with--
eesh--McNally, Nash--
I don't know. Epstein?
Epstein? l think Diaz might be a better bet.
Ohh.
- Yeah, I'm gonna stick with Epstein. - Epstein. Yeah.
Okay. Last but not least,
I want to let you know that, uh,
some of the rookies will be sitting out of rotation today.
Detective Donovan Boyd is sending three of them out
on the infamous scavenger hunt, so wish 'em Iuck.
McNally, Nash, Epstein.
Stay behind with Boyd. He'll brief you.
Peck, Diaz, you two are riding together.
Everybody, let's go. Come on.
(overlapping conversations, indistinct)
You'll be dropped off in nowheresville. PIaincIothes.
No money. No wallet. No phones. No guns.
Goal is simple: Pick a character,
and whatever you do, commit to it.
Uh, h-how do we know who we shouId be?
Be yourself, or be the opposite of yourself.
I don't care. Use what you know. Know what you don't know.
- That clear it up for you? - No.
Be back here 6 A.M. in uniform
with as much accumulated money and drugs as possibIe.
- (chuckIes) Wh... - I will judge the drugs
by street value, not by volume.
Okay. Wait, wait. No, no, no. How do we do that?
- How do we figure out-- - Come on, rookies.
You are sophomores now.
You know how to spot a dealer. You know where they sell it.
Now it is your job to go and learn how to buy it, so go.
And, hey, you know, look, be safe out there.
It's not a competition.
All right. $20 says McNally takes it.
20? Uh, let's make it 60, because Nash is taking it.
Oh, no, no, no, no. Noelle's right.
McNally's got this thing locked (high-pitched voice) up.
Yeah? You want to put your money where your mouth is, Homicide?
Uh...yeah, no.
Oh, ye of little faith.
Hey, what's the line on Epstein?
- Epstein? - You betting on us?
Uh, no, not on you. No.
Nobody thinks you stand a chance.
- Thanks a lot. - (chuckles)
Uh, no probIem. Don't mention it.
This sucks.
I should be undercover, 'cause I blend,
and you--you're a born natch.
You have to admit it's totally ridic.
WouId you stop cutting your words off halfway, okay?
It's new. I don't-- l don't Iike it.
Although there is something really brill about this sitch.
Stop it.
We get to spend the whole shift together,
and we're meant to talk, Chris.
Don't make me get all mushy.
We were good together.
Not really. I mean, think about it.
We weren't normal.
Yeah, but what is even normal?
In a normal couple,
you have a mama bear and a papa bear.
You're more like Goldilocks.
Yeah, she's the only human in the story,
so I'm gonna take this as a good sign.
Yeah, worming your way in where you aren't invited,
trying out different beds to see which one fits.
Chris, I didn't try out different beds.
Yeah, well, in the metaphor, you did.
(dispatcher on radio) We've got reports of a disturbance
in Mount Pleasant Cemetery.
Caller said she heard yelling and saw three male suspects
chasing a fourth through the cemetery.
Mark 1505 responding.
(siren wails)
Aw. Look how sweet.
This must be where mama bear and papa bear are buried.
Look.
(Chris) Holy...
(Gail) Hey, are you okay?
Great. Never been better.
Okay. Come on. Come on. Just put your hands down.
What about your coat?
You're freezing. Here. Take mine.
What happened to you, man? Who did this to you?
No idea.
(Boyd) Your wallets, phones. Rápido. Rápido.
One--One, two, three. One, two, three. Great.
Nothing but the clothes on your back.
Nice.
Now before you go forth, young soldiers,
hold out your hands.
Have a present for you.
One, two, three.
Bus token. Just in case.
Just in case what?
In case you need a bus token.
Come on, people. Don't let me down here.
You cannot Iet them see you scared out there.
If you're nervous, get closer,
and they won't see you shake, okay?
Have a little faith in yourselves, guys.
(sighs)
(tires skid)
Ha.
It's a start.
How much you get for these again?
10 cents.
10 cents? That's it?
Yeah, but if you get 100, that's 10 bucks.
- See ya, guys. - Where you going?
Hey, buddy dropped us in the middle of nowhere
with nothing but a bus token.
Doesn't take a brain surgeon
to reaIize we're supposed to take the bus downtown.
Maybe it's for emergencies.
He said use what we know, so...
I'm using what I know.
- Okay. - All right.
Hey. Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait. Stop. Hi.
Uh, Trace, follow my lead.
Hi. Hi. Sorry. Um, my name's Candice.
I'm in town for a conference--
(chuckles) A silly conference, reaIIy, on overwriting--
insurance overwriting, new avenues.
Anyway, um, we were actually on a shuttle to the airport,
and, well, she had to pee,
so we got off at the last hotel stop,
and I stupidly followed her,
and then when we came back out, the shuttle was gone.
- That's terribIe. - I know. I know.
All of our bags, purses, everything is gone.
l mean, it's a nightmare. I am living a nightmare right now.
ls there any way we could get a ride?
Sorry. I'm already late.
Okay, but maybe just as far as you're going, you know.
- We could squeeze in. - Look...
just grab a cab.
Whoa. Thank you so much. That's really generous.
- Okay. Take care. - Good luck.
20 bucks. That's, like, 200 of your bottles.
Yeah, and you're also Candice the insurance overwriter.
Overwriter. Overwriter. Underwriter?
It's insurance underwriter, isn't it?
Pick your character and commit.
ls there another number we can reach your mother at?
(sighs) She's probably at her boyfriend's.
Okay, so what's his number?
He doesn't have a phone. Can I wash my face now?
(sighs) All right. Well, we left a message at your mom's house.
- Does she check messages? - Nope.
Well, how are we supposed to get ahoId of her then?
If you find out, let me know.
AII right. Well, in the meantime...
(papers rustling)
Can you tell me exactly what happened?
Look, l toId you. They were robbers, bandits.
Whatever. I just--I want to get my coat, and l want to go home.
It's okay. You know what, pal?
(coughs) You don't have to say a thing.
(beeps, shutter clicks)
So you're a "liar."
- Did you get that? - Yep.
Hey. Now what else we got here?
"Dip stick." That's original.
Turn to the left.
You know a girl named Sarah?
Sarah wasn't there.
Actually you're probably right.
"Touch Sarah and die."
That's probably Sarah's brother or Sarah's boyfriend, maybe?
Can I, uh, talk to you guys?
(Oliver) Yeah.
So I found him on a social networking site.
Someone just posted a hate page about him.
The administrators are two teenagers from his high schooI,
Cooper Wells and Sarah Jones.
Okay. Good work.

Yep.

Great. So you here with the conference?

We just had to ask 'em a few questions.
Oh, God. Just shoot me.
He's gotta be a bad seed.
He is. He's annoying.
He, like, stares at me all the time. He's aggravating.
Ooh, I bet. How awful.
And that's reason enough to tie him up
and leave him to freeze to death?
The guy's psycho. Don't believe a word he says.
No, he hasn't said anything...yet.
Yep. (sighs)

Wow. You're being really nice.

Nice. Cold and condescending.
Sarah saw him staring into her bedroom window.
(Sarah) I was so creeped out.
Then he stole a bracelet off of our teacher's desk
and put it in my locker. l aImost got expeIIed.
I wasn't trying to get you in trouble.
I just wanted to give you something.
So this was payback?

I have no idea who it was.

Okay. l'm Candice, and, uh, this is Doreen.

Sorry.
All yours. Take it away.
No mercy.
- Boom. - Pay up, ladies.
No, no, no. Not yet. Let's go double or nothing.
Uh, you know what? No.
I gotta get up early tomorrow, so l'm out.
That's good, because, sweetheart,
I hate to tell ya, but you're dragging your partner down here.
Doreen, you want to go straight up? DoubIe or nothing.
Um...
Good.
What about you?
- You didn't become a lawyer? - Nope.
Adam was sure you were gonna become a Iawyer. (Iaughs)
Ah, Adam. Man.
Oh, that guy.
He knew how to party.
I don't get it.
He always...

I'll wait here?
No. Come with me.
- (chuckIes) Why? - Because I said so.
It's freezing. You're gonna make me wait outside?
Yep.

Rubbing alcohol should get that off your face.
Great. Maybe mom's vodka will work.

You think you're the only one with a messed-up mother?
I mean, you're just gonna have to learn to Iook after yourseIf.
I can look after myself.
No one eIse is gonna wash my face.
That's not what I mean, okay?
I'm saying, come on, grow a pair.
Fight back for once in your life,
'cause if you let them walk away from this,
they're gonna keep doing it over and over and over again.
Just give me my coat.
(sighs)
What brings you to town?
- Conference. - Mm-hmm.
A conference? What kind?
Actually I've been wondering
why I got into this business in the first pIace.
What business is that?
Oh, nothing as interesting as insurance, that's for sure.
(chuckles) Nothing is.
So, um...
we were just hoping to...
figure out a little somethin',
get us through the night.
It's gonna be a long one, so, you know,
might as well enjoy it.
You might want to talk to Donnie in room four.
He's a crazy son of a bitch, but you can tell him I sent you.
Okay. We gotta go.
Yeah. You gotta find a place to put your head down
for the rest of the night. Not here.
Look at that. Whoo!
She smoked me. Okay, come on. One more.
No. We gotta get outta here. Uh, it was nice to meet you.
- You, too. - J.D., nice to meet you.
Maybe we'll see you around sometime.
Yeah, you never know.
Uh, see ya.
Bye.
We are seriously badass. (laughs)
You are a serious Iiar. You heard about this place
- through Swarek, didn't you? - No.
Do you know how lucky we are we got away with that?
It's not luck. We used what we knew, and we committed.
Who is this guy?
(sighs) I don't know. Room four.
Said his name was Donnie.
Hi. Are you Donnie?
Who are you?
I'm Candice, and this is Doreen.
So why ya knockin' on my door?
Uh, weII, we were taIking to Jamie Brennan down in the bar,
and he said you would help us.
Oh, Brennan sent ya.
All right. Come in.
Come in.
Hope you came to party.
You know the band Anvil?
Yeah, a little.
Sit. I got a bootleg copy
of their never-released album.
Rocks me hard.
Uh, yeah, we actuaIIy don't have a lot of time.
Well, listen up, Minnie Mouse.
You came knocking on my door
while I was watching "Fresh Prince,"
in the middle of my dessert.
You didn't care about my plans. Why should I care about yours?
Sit down.
(Andy) Okay.
(man shouting, baby crying in distance)
(Donnie scoffs) So...

you guys are what? Uh, secretaries? Waitresses?
Uh, I'm in insurance.
Oh, cIassy. You both work insurance?
No, I'm a dancer.
A real dancer? Like a "take off your clothes
and wave it in my face" kind of dancer?
(chuckles) Yeah, that kind of dancer.
A stripper and an insurance bitch looking to get high--
quelle surprise.
Do you mind if I use your bathroom?
Oh, Stacy or whatever her name,
some party girl from the bar,

I met the guys from Anvil.
I was buddies with their drummer.
Partied on their bus, man,
one night after they opened for Motörhead.
They opened for Motörhead. Did you know that?
- No. - Yeah.
We got to get her help now.
Her pulse is weak. She's barely breathing.
What did she take?
(sighs) Let me see.
She wanted a speedball.
What did you do?
Ohh, stupid bitch.
She did the whole thing.
Okay, well, we need to call an ambulance.
We gotta get her out of here.
No, no, no, you sit down. Sit down!
(cIatter, telephone bell dings)
Nobody's calling anybody.
(car alarm chirps)
That was more than a couple of minutes.
Just let us call an ambulance.
Come on. Let us just get her out of here, okay?
We'll leave you out of it. Trust me.
We are not interested in bringing in the cops.
(Donnie) Aw, man. I can't believe this.
So you don't know this girl?
I never met her before in my life.
I met her down in the bar earlier.
Well, you may not know her, but l do,
- and you gotta let us take her. - What a Ioad.
Donnie, I dance with that girl. l know her.
Her boyfriend's a biker, big guy named Max,
not one of the nice ones, and if he finds out that she was here,
if he finds out that she died on your watch...
Oh, man. Get her outta here.
Yeah. Okay. One, two-- (grunts)
- Okay, got her. - Got her?
Yeah. Okay, just--(grunts)

Yeah. Hey, thanks. Hey, what's up?
Are you Chris Diaz, the rock star?
What do you mean?
Yeah.
The cooI cop who gives slick advice to bullied kids.
- Yeah. Fight back, eye for an eye. - What are you taIking about?
I just picked up your friend Finton Tucker,
the boy from the, uh-- from the graveyard.
He tracked down his bully
and smashed a brick into his face.
- What? - A brick.
That Cooper kid, he's in the hospital with serious injuries.
That's some great advice, man.
I just wanted Finton to press charges. That's all I meant.
You laid it on thick for that kid
because it made you feel like a man who could stand up for himself,
when really, you're just as scared as he is.
It's a rookie move, man.
What'll happen to Finton?
You start a criminal record for a kid like that,
you might as well say goodbye.
You coming?
I'll meet you back at the station.
McNally...
Go directly to jail. Do not pass go.
Do not Iinger. Don't do anything stupid.
J.D., off-limits?
I know.
- Do you hear me? - Yes.
(Sam clears throat)
Most employers run when they hear about my previous experience.
Which part?
Folding laundry at Kingston Pen.
Do time there, you can work anywhere.
I know.
Uh, who was your guy there?
Which guy?
Who you folded laundry for.
Wasn't a guy. It was a big brick house named Maureen--
only female hack in the joint.
When l was in there, there was two of 'em.
You kidding me?
You were in there?

Alice.
300 pounds, face like a bag of hammers.

Well, look who's back.
Hey.

Yes, we do.
We can catch up on that business tomorrow
or the next day
or day after that...
but a woman Iike that doesn't knock on your door every day.
Let's go.

So what, you can just turn the cameras off?
They don't care?

(Frank) Now this is when I start to get nervous. (cIears throat)
They'll make it back.
They might be empty-handed, but they always make it back.
Yeah, must be what it's like
to wait for your kids to come home by curfew.
Yeah. Well, might be the closest we ever get to knowing that.
Nah, I don't think it's the closest we'll get.
(Andy) Think the universe has a plan?
For us?
Oh, yeah. It was undoubtedly fate
that brought you into that bar tonight.
- (Iaughs) - Mm-hmm.
Okay, l might remember you saying something about it,
but I didn't know you were gonna be there.
- Oh, yeah. - l didn't.
l never thought l'd see anybody I knew at the Alpine Inn...
- (groans) Oh, my God. - Ieast of aII, you.
My one chance to be whoever I want to be,
and I choose Candice who works in insurance.
(sighs) God.
All right, don't tell anybody this,
but I was Ernie, the Zamboni driver.
(Andy laughs)
(Sam laughs)
Mm.
I gotta go.
(feet slide)
(clatter)
(Boyd clears throat)
One point for arriving alive.
Another point for arriving on time, in uniform...
kinda.
Show me what you got.
(Velcro rips)
Well, I got...
20 bucks...
and a penny.
(cIears throat) I got some, uh, coke.
What about you?
(Traci) What?
- (Boyd) Uh, okay. - (OIiver) Yeah.
Epstein appears to be the winner, by a large margin.
Not that it was a competition.
Yep.
Pay up, losers.
You bet on me?
Yeah, you're, uh-- You're a simple kid, Epstein.
A little doubting Thomas in your ear, and you're goId. Thank you.
(pats back)
How'd you do it?
I made friends with someone,
got him to trust me, and then, when he wasn't paying attention,
I stabbed him in the back.
Turns out I'm pretty good at it.
Chris.
Can I, uh-- Can I go home with you now?
No.
Come on.
This is not like you. You--You forgive.
You--You understand. You give second and third chances.
You love puppies and ice cream, and you have faith in peopIe.
Yeah. (sighs)
I just don't have faith in us.
- Hey. - Well, look at you.
(Chris) Heh.
lf you want a coffee and a muffin, though,
you got to get to the back of the line, officer.
No, thanks.
Well, I hope you're not here to arrest me,
'cause I'm a little busy right now.
No, no, no. No, uh, it's this kid.
Uh...
I know this kid who might be in a bit of troubIe.
I want to find some way to heIp keep him
on the straight and narrow, and...
l was kind of hoping, if maybe he did some volunteer work for your project,
the prosecutor might be more lenient.
Well, you know, I can always use a helping hand.
Good. Great. Thank you.
You know, it takes a brave man
to hang on to hope in this day and age.
Uh, you mind if I stick around for a bit? HeIp out?
I'd like that. You can start right here.
All right. Cool. Hey, guys.
(Traci) You're quiet.
(Andy) I'm just tired, that's all.
Right.
You know, big night, lot to process.
Sure, yeah. Running into Swarek like that...
must have reinstated your belief
that something's meant to happen with you guys.
Ah, I didn't really think about it.
- Okay, stop lying. - What?
I can't believe you went back there.
(sighs) l didn't-- Who said I went back there?
That is the dumbest thing you have ever done.
What is wrong with you?
- What? I couldn't help it. - (groans)
Andy, you have to promise me you're never going back there.
It's way too dangerous. You have no idea
what kind of case he's in the middle of.
I know. I know.
One-time thing, Trace.
Was it good?
(moans) Heavenly.
(laughs)
