No, I stopped
because she bit me so bad

If Shields Academy
is employing

something we should look into.

I ran into Eli's sister Akeelah,
220

on the case.

- A flip-flopper.

And she's not entirely wrong.
229

I mean, if he committed
this crime today,

he'd probably be in a treatment
program and not in prison.

Yeah, but you don't make
the laws, you just uphold them.
232
00:09:44,496 --> 00:09:46,586
It's up to the judges
and the powers that be

to determine what the
punishments should look like.
234

- So, then, you
should know

that a conservative judge
equals a harsher sentence,

really for a refresher?

No, just a couple

the same thing.

under fire

00:15:09,082 --> 00:15:09,996
so I got you plain coffee.
353
00:15:10,126 --> 00:15:12,085
Oh. Thank you.
354
00:15:12,215 --> 00:15:13,564
Detective Danny Reagan,
355
00:15:13,695 --> 00:15:15,305
this is Detective Wesley Pierre.
356
00:15:15,436 --> 00:15:16,393
Heard a lot about you.
357
00:15:16,524 --> 00:15:17,525
Likewise.
358
00:15:17,655 --> 00:15:19,266
Hopefully, both
of your experiences
359
00:15:19,396 --> 00:15:21,007
will help us
collar Ava's killer.
360
00:15:21,137 --> 00:15:22,530
Wesley knows a lot about voodoo.
361
00:15:22,660 --> 00:15:23,923
Vodou.
362
00:15:24,053 --> 00:15:26,142
I worked a case
a few years back.
363
00:15:26,273 --> 00:15:30,712
Well, the NYPD sent me
to train with the Miami PD,
364
00:15:30,842 --> 00:15:33,062
to learn all about vodou,
365
00:15:33,193 --> 00:15:35,804
and handle investigations
just like this.
366
00:15:35,935 --> 00:15:37,240
Although we're not
exactly sure
367
00:15:37,371 --> 00:15:39,155
that that's what we're
dealing with here.
368
00:15:39,286 --> 00:15:41,114
From looking at the altar,
I think we are.
369
00:15:41,244 --> 00:15:42,724
In the Dominican Republic,
370
00:15:42,854 --> 00:15:44,595
where Christina and Freddie
are from,
371
00:15:44,726 --> 00:15:46,902
it's called 21 Divisions.
372
00:15:47,033 --> 00:15:48,730
Someone in that
- family is a follower.
- Yeah,
373
00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:50,906
except none of the
neighbors mentioned that.
374
00:15:51,037 --> 00:15:52,952
Maybe you weren't asking
the right questions.
375
00:16:03,875 --> 00:16:06,313
How can I help you, Detectives?
376
00:16:06,443 --> 00:16:07,967
How'd you guess?
377
00:16:08,097 --> 00:16:09,664
It's my job to read people.
378
00:16:09,794 --> 00:16:11,187
Who they are and what they need.
379
00:16:11,318 --> 00:16:13,233
Oh, well, can you guess
what we need?
380
00:16:13,363 --> 00:16:15,061
Answers.
381
00:16:15,191 --> 00:16:16,758
- Right.
- You work here?
382
00:16:16,888 --> 00:16:18,325
More than that.
383
00:16:18,455 --> 00:16:19,804
You're a brujo?
384
00:16:19,935 --> 00:16:21,719
Papa Dios blessed me
with the ability to communicate
385
00:16:21,850 --> 00:16:23,547
with the misterios.
386
00:16:23,678 --> 00:16:25,985
Spirits who work
on God's behalf.
387
00:16:26,115 --> 00:16:28,291
Believers go to a
brujo or priest
388
00:16:28,422 --> 00:16:30,511
to get answers or blessings
from the misterios.
389
00:16:30,641 --> 00:16:31,773
Like a middleman.
390
00:16:31,903 --> 00:16:33,166
- I prefer "interpreter".
- Okay.
391
00:16:34,558 --> 00:16:35,429
Do you know them?
392
00:16:35,559 --> 00:16:37,213
I do.
393
00:16:37,344 --> 00:16:38,954
It's a shame what happened
to their daughter.
394
00:16:39,085 --> 00:16:40,956
How do you know them?
395
00:16:41,087 --> 00:16:42,392
Freddie's a frequent visitor.
396
00:16:42,523 --> 00:16:44,568
Always looking
for some healing or answer.
397
00:16:44,699 --> 00:16:46,353
And what about Christina?
398
00:16:46,483 --> 00:16:48,964
Christina believed,
Freddie followed.
399
00:16:49,095 --> 00:16:50,357
BAEZ:
When was the last time
400
00:16:50,487 --> 00:16:51,575
you saw him?
401
00:16:51,706 --> 00:16:53,316
Last Sunday.
402
00:16:53,447 --> 00:16:54,796
He said there was
some trouble at home.
403
00:16:54,926 --> 00:16:56,711
I gave him
something like that
404
00:16:56,841 --> 00:16:58,713
for his guidance and protection.
405
00:17:00,584 --> 00:17:02,064
Mm.
406
00:17:04,284 --> 00:17:06,416
- You okay?
- Uh, yeah.
407
00:17:06,547 --> 00:17:07,896
Keep it.
408
00:17:08,027 --> 00:17:11,117
The misterios are telling me
you'll need it.
409
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:17,210
GORMLEY:
Why are we doing this?
410
00:17:17,340 --> 00:17:18,602
It's the right thing to do.
411
00:17:18,733 --> 00:17:19,821
No, it's not.
412
00:17:19,951 --> 00:17:23,216
Well, it's gonna happen, Sid.
413
00:17:25,174 --> 00:17:27,089
Detectives Johnson and Larkin.
414
00:17:29,091 --> 00:17:32,225
Please, sit down.
415
00:17:32,355 --> 00:17:34,488
Sit right here.
You can take this chair.
416
00:17:42,757 --> 00:17:44,106
Thanks for coming up.
417
00:17:44,237 --> 00:17:46,543
I want you to know
that this is in no way
418
00:17:46,674 --> 00:17:48,328
an official inquiry.
419
00:17:48,458 --> 00:17:50,460
We just have some questions
420
00:17:50,591 --> 00:17:52,984
we'd like some help with.
421
00:17:53,115 --> 00:17:55,117
What can we help you with?
422
00:17:56,118 --> 00:17:58,468
One Gerri Mazullo.
423
00:18:00,601 --> 00:18:02,690
[sighs]
424
00:18:02,820 --> 00:18:04,126
She got to you too.
425
00:18:06,781 --> 00:18:08,261
She did.
426
00:18:10,567 --> 00:18:11,916
We followed protocol to the T.
427
00:18:12,047 --> 00:18:13,570
No one is saying you didn't.
428
00:18:13,701 --> 00:18:15,833
Well, being somewhat familiar
with the patrol guide,
429
00:18:15,964 --> 00:18:18,619
I know that
after the initial toss,
430
00:18:18,749 --> 00:18:21,274
photos of the car
431
00:18:21,404 --> 00:18:22,623
would suffice.
432
00:18:22,753 --> 00:18:24,712
Respectfully, sir,
433
00:18:24,842 --> 00:18:26,757
what's happing
to Ms. Mazullo is wrong.
434
00:18:26,888 --> 00:18:29,325
Well, did you ask
the D.A.'s office
435
00:18:29,456 --> 00:18:31,240
if they could use
the photos of the car instead?
436
00:18:31,371 --> 00:18:32,676
LARKIN:
We did.
437
00:18:32,807 --> 00:18:33,764
They said no.
438
00:18:33,895 --> 00:18:34,809
Because?
439
00:18:34,939 --> 00:18:36,289
Their protocols.
440
00:18:36,419 --> 00:18:38,508
LARKIN:
Respectfully, sir,
441
00:18:38,639 --> 00:18:40,554
if you want more answers,
you should go
442
00:18:40,684 --> 00:18:42,904
to the prosecutor
handling the case.
443
00:18:43,034 --> 00:18:44,123
And who might that be?
444
00:18:46,081 --> 00:18:48,257
That would be Erin Reagan.
445
00:19:01,183 --> 00:19:03,229
[church bell tolling
in distance]
446
00:19:09,496 --> 00:19:10,758
Are you ready, Katie?
447
00:19:10,888 --> 00:19:12,890
Um, there's been
448
00:19:13,021 --> 00:19:14,588
a-a change in the plan.
449
00:19:14,718 --> 00:19:16,111
Oh. What kind
of change?
450
00:19:16,242 --> 00:19:17,808
I will be going in with Katie.
451
00:19:17,939 --> 00:19:19,332
JANKO:
We agreed
452
00:19:19,462 --> 00:19:20,333
that I would be the one
453
00:19:20,463 --> 00:19:21,899
infiltrating Shields Academy.
454
00:19:22,030 --> 00:19:24,032
We agreed that we were
going to try and uncover
455
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:26,426
if they're discriminating
against their applicants.
456
00:19:26,556 --> 00:19:28,167
- That's still happening.
- With you at the lead?
457
00:19:28,297 --> 00:19:30,908
Look, Shields Academy
can change Katie's life.
458
00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:32,083
If she gets
accepted,
459
00:19:32,214 --> 00:19:33,259
we're gonna enroll.
460
00:19:33,389 --> 00:19:34,347
Captain...
461
00:19:34,477 --> 00:19:35,957
But there was a script.
462
00:19:36,087 --> 00:19:38,133
Yeah, it's the same one
that I'm gonna use. Just...
463
00:19:38,264 --> 00:19:39,613
a few minor revisions.
464
00:19:39,743 --> 00:19:42,050
Look, I've been
paying attention.
465
00:19:42,181 --> 00:19:44,487
I know exactly what to do.
466
00:19:44,618 --> 00:19:45,662
Come on.[sighs]
467
00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:51,364
I just loved
your application, Katie.
468
00:19:51,494 --> 00:19:52,843
We have a great
hockey program here
469
00:19:52,974 --> 00:19:54,280
and we are always looking for
470
00:19:54,410 --> 00:19:56,369
killer players
to add to our roster.
471
00:19:56,499 --> 00:19:57,892
I have to send you
her highlight reel.
472
00:19:58,022 --> 00:19:59,633
She is amazing.[chuckles]
473
00:19:59,763 --> 00:20:01,287
I also really enjoyed
your essay.
474
00:20:01,417 --> 00:20:02,810
She's a fantastic writer.
475
00:20:02,940 --> 00:20:06,553
You should read some of
her K-pop fan fiction.
476
00:20:06,683 --> 00:20:08,729
Oh, well, then you would love
our creative writing elective.
477
00:20:08,859 --> 00:20:10,861
Our scholars even go on
to publish their own books.
478
00:20:10,992 --> 00:20:12,385
Where do we sign up?
479
00:20:12,515 --> 00:20:14,169
[both chuckle]
480
00:20:14,300 --> 00:20:16,302
Well, here at Shields Academy,
we believe
481
00:20:16,432 --> 00:20:17,825
that the parents are just as
much a part of the community
482
00:20:17,955 --> 00:20:19,696
as our scholars.
483
00:20:19,827 --> 00:20:22,438
So, Ms. McNichols, I would love
to learn more about you.
484
00:20:22,569 --> 00:20:25,963
Uh... well, actually,
it's captain.
485
00:20:26,094 --> 00:20:27,530
Oh, you're in the military.
486
00:20:27,661 --> 00:20:28,923
No, NYPD.
487
00:20:29,053 --> 00:20:30,229
Oh.
488
00:20:31,795 --> 00:20:34,842
I am so sorry.
I did not realize the time.
489
00:20:34,972 --> 00:20:37,105
I have another meeting scheduled
in just a little bit.
490
00:20:37,236 --> 00:20:39,150
So thank you so much
for coming in,
491
00:20:39,281 --> 00:20:41,892
and, um, you'll be hearing
from us soon.
492
00:20:42,023 --> 00:20:43,546
Goo-Good things, I hope.
493
00:20:43,677 --> 00:20:45,244
Oh, well, we'll be in touch.
494
00:20:48,725 --> 00:20:49,465
Okay.
495
00:20:51,815 --> 00:20:54,818
DANNY:
It's time you told us
the truth, Christina.
496
00:20:54,949 --> 00:20:56,559
We spoke to your neighbors.
497
00:20:56,690 --> 00:20:58,039
We know that you
and Freddie fought.
498
00:20:58,169 --> 00:20:59,693
A lot.
499
00:21:01,651 --> 00:21:03,697
A lot of couples do.
500
00:21:03,827 --> 00:21:05,089
Not frequently enough
for their landlords
501
00:21:05,220 --> 00:21:06,700
to plot their eviction.
502
00:21:06,830 --> 00:21:08,267
No one is perfect.
503
00:21:08,397 --> 00:21:10,007
DANNY:
Like Ava. You wanted
504
00:21:10,138 --> 00:21:12,140
everyone to believe
she was a perfect little angel,
505
00:21:12,271 --> 00:21:13,837
but then she wasn't, was she?
506
00:21:13,968 --> 00:21:16,057
Ava was different.
507
00:21:16,187 --> 00:21:18,059
She would cry.
508
00:21:18,189 --> 00:21:20,104
A lot.
509
00:21:20,235 --> 00:21:22,150
There were days I thought
I was going a little crazy.
510
00:21:22,281 --> 00:21:23,412
Did you ever seek
help for it?
511
00:21:23,543 --> 00:21:24,413
Everyone said
512
00:21:24,544 --> 00:21:25,458
she would outgrow it.
513
00:21:25,588 --> 00:21:27,111
She never did.
514
00:21:27,242 --> 00:21:29,462
Is that why you turned
to 21 Divisions?
515
00:21:29,592 --> 00:21:31,464
What do you know about that?
516
00:21:31,594 --> 00:21:32,813
We saw the altar
in your home.
517
00:21:32,943 --> 00:21:34,467
We also know
518
00:21:34,597 --> 00:21:36,730
that Freddie frequented
Abner's Botanica.
519
00:21:36,860 --> 00:21:38,688
When did it become
illegal to have faith?
520
00:21:38,819 --> 00:21:40,124
It didn't.
521
00:21:40,255 --> 00:21:42,953
But it is illegal to leave
your child unsupervised.
522
00:21:43,084 --> 00:21:45,478
Leaving her alone is
something I'm going to regret
523
00:21:45,608 --> 00:21:48,176
for the rest of my life.
524
00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:50,700
Now you're gonna
do right by her.
525
00:21:50,831 --> 00:21:53,094
That's something I'll have
to sort through with God.
526
00:21:53,224 --> 00:21:55,314
DANNY:Well...
527
00:21:55,444 --> 00:21:56,924
you could sort through it
with us first down at the squad.
528
00:21:57,054 --> 00:21:58,621
You're under arrest.
529
00:21:58,752 --> 00:22:00,449
Come on.
530
00:22:12,069 --> 00:22:15,508
Look, uh, I'm sorry
to just barge in like this.
531
00:22:15,638 --> 00:22:17,161
You're not barging in.
532
00:22:17,292 --> 00:22:20,426
Yeah, I sure am.
533
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,691
What's wrong?
534
00:22:24,821 --> 00:22:27,998
I'd like to talk to you
about the Gerri Mazullo case.
535
00:22:28,129 --> 00:22:29,739
The who case?
536
00:22:29,870 --> 00:22:32,960
She's the Uber driver
whose car got stolen.
537
00:22:33,090 --> 00:22:35,310
My cops retrieved it
but not before it was used
538
00:22:35,441 --> 00:22:37,791
to transfer drugs.
539
00:22:37,921 --> 00:22:40,533
Okay, and I fit in how?
540
00:22:42,143 --> 00:22:44,406
Well, the detectives on the case
541
00:22:44,537 --> 00:22:47,235
said that your office
has kept the car impounded.
542
00:22:47,366 --> 00:22:50,194
Going on six months.
543
00:22:50,325 --> 00:22:52,196
Did they?
544
00:22:52,327 --> 00:22:53,763
They did.
545
00:22:53,894 --> 00:22:55,678
Me personally?
546
00:22:57,114 --> 00:22:58,899
Well, they used your name.
547
00:22:59,029 --> 00:23:01,292
And you didn't think to yourself
548
00:23:01,423 --> 00:23:03,686
that maybe it was someone
in Erin's bureau?
549
00:23:03,817 --> 00:23:06,080
Someone fresh
on the job,
550
00:23:06,210 --> 00:23:09,300
a rookie who got
caught up in protocols?
551
00:23:09,431 --> 00:23:11,172
Someone under someone
552
00:23:11,302 --> 00:23:13,174
under Erin?
553
00:23:13,304 --> 00:23:16,307
Well, when things
fall through the cracks,
554
00:23:16,438 --> 00:23:19,615
isn't it ultimately
the boss's responsibility?
555
00:23:19,746 --> 00:23:22,444
In newspaper editorials
and 60 Minutes pieces,
556
00:23:22,575 --> 00:23:24,446
yeah, the buck stops here.
557
00:23:24,577 --> 00:23:26,883
But in our lives,
yours and mine,
558
00:23:27,014 --> 00:23:29,016
sorry to say, things get lost
559
00:23:29,146 --> 00:23:31,932
in the shuffling of the decks
and the stakes we play for.
560
00:23:35,109 --> 00:23:36,850
Kinda cynical of you.
561
00:23:36,980 --> 00:23:39,505
Kind of pragmatic of me.
562
00:23:39,635 --> 00:23:41,942
But, yes, served
with a side of regret.
563
00:23:43,639 --> 00:23:45,598
[sighs]
564
00:23:46,555 --> 00:23:48,470
You're probably right.
565
00:23:48,601 --> 00:23:50,603
[exhales]
566
00:23:50,733 --> 00:23:52,605
Well, that's never good
coming from you.
567
00:23:52,735 --> 00:23:54,171
[sighs]
568
00:23:54,302 --> 00:23:55,346
What's that mean?
569
00:23:55,477 --> 00:23:57,479
It means the person who said it
570
00:23:57,610 --> 00:23:59,873
has lost some core values
along the way.
571
00:24:00,003 --> 00:24:01,396
No.
572
00:24:01,527 --> 00:24:02,789
Yes.
573
00:24:05,792 --> 00:24:07,576
[sighs]
574
00:24:07,707 --> 00:24:10,274
Don't we owe it to ourselves
575
00:24:10,405 --> 00:24:12,581
to at least try to remember
576
00:24:12,712 --> 00:24:15,018
why we fought every fight
577
00:24:15,149 --> 00:24:17,281
that got sent our way?
578
00:24:19,370 --> 00:24:22,286
[sighs]
Yes.
579
00:24:22,417 --> 00:24:25,899
Once I free up some time.
580
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,685
How do you spell
her name?
581
00:24:31,034 --> 00:24:32,558
Thank you.
582
00:24:37,780 --> 00:24:39,521
Here you go.
Appreciate you.
583
00:24:44,570 --> 00:24:46,310
So...
584
00:24:46,441 --> 00:24:49,226
Katie was also rejected
from Shields Academy.
585
00:24:49,357 --> 00:24:50,358
[sighs]
I'm sorry.
586
00:24:50,489 --> 00:24:51,707
Yeah, tell that
to my kid.
587
00:24:51,838 --> 00:24:53,666
Thank you.
588
00:24:53,796 --> 00:24:55,537
- Did you follow the script?
- Did I follow the script?
589
00:24:55,668 --> 00:24:58,975
I gave
an Oscar-worthy performance.
590
00:24:59,106 --> 00:25:02,283
Then at least we know it didn't
have anything to do with race.
591
00:25:02,413 --> 00:25:03,980
Well, what do you think
- happened?
- Part of me just wants
592
00:25:04,111 --> 00:25:06,853
to chalk it up to this is a very
difficult school to get into.
593
00:25:06,983 --> 00:25:08,245
And the other part?
594
00:25:08,376 --> 00:25:10,204
Well, things got tense
595
00:25:10,334 --> 00:25:11,684
when I brought up work.
596
00:25:11,814 --> 00:25:13,686
MATTHEWS:
Same here.
597
00:25:13,816 --> 00:25:15,818
I just figured
it's 'cause I'm Black.
598
00:25:15,949 --> 00:25:17,994
JANKO:
Well, Matthews,
599
00:25:18,125 --> 00:25:19,909
I think you were right.
I think Shields Academy
600
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,476
does discriminate.
601
00:25:21,607 --> 00:25:24,174
Just not in the way
that we all thought.
602
00:25:25,698 --> 00:25:27,264
She hasn't requested
an attorney
603
00:25:27,395 --> 00:25:29,092
or to speak
to her husband.
604
00:25:29,223 --> 00:25:30,659
Maybe if we charge her
with child endangerment,
605
00:25:30,790 --> 00:25:33,270
a night in a cell
might get her to talk.
606
00:25:34,533 --> 00:25:36,839
Let me try to talk
to her first. Please?
607
00:25:36,970 --> 00:25:38,624
Yeah, of course.
608
00:25:43,585 --> 00:25:45,631
[door opens]
609
00:25:55,945 --> 00:25:57,947
Psalm 28.
610
00:25:58,078 --> 00:26:00,123
It's a prayer my
Tía Anna gave me.
611
00:26:02,299 --> 00:26:04,171
She was a believer.
612
00:26:05,215 --> 00:26:07,348
- Believer?
- Yeah.
613
00:26:07,478 --> 00:26:08,958
There wasn't a big test,
614
00:26:09,089 --> 00:26:11,178
uh, crush,
615
00:26:11,308 --> 00:26:12,788
or a stomachache
she didn't have
616
00:26:12,919 --> 00:26:14,616
a prayer or a bath
617
00:26:14,747 --> 00:26:16,836
or some concoction for.
618
00:26:16,966 --> 00:26:19,316
- Like what?
- Like...
619
00:26:19,447 --> 00:26:22,363
sour orange with
garlic and honey.
620
00:26:22,493 --> 00:26:25,496
Or a milk and rose bath
621
00:26:25,627 --> 00:26:27,498
for good luck in
the New Year or a
622
00:26:27,629 --> 00:26:30,327
prayer on parchment
for flights.
623
00:26:30,458 --> 00:26:33,287
And this one
624
00:26:33,417 --> 00:26:35,202
she gave me for protection
625
00:26:35,332 --> 00:26:37,421
the day I became a cop.
626
00:26:37,552 --> 00:26:39,598
There was a lot
about my aunt
627
00:26:39,728 --> 00:26:42,513
and her beliefs that
I didn't understand.
628
00:26:42,644 --> 00:26:45,168
Like yours
and Freddie's.
629
00:26:45,299 --> 00:26:46,605
But I don't need
630
00:26:46,735 --> 00:26:48,737
to understand them
to respect them.
631
00:26:50,957 --> 00:26:53,089
Do you have children, Detective?
632
00:26:53,220 --> 00:26:54,525
Yeah, I do.
633
00:26:54,656 --> 00:26:56,702
Then you know
how hard it is.
634
00:26:56,832 --> 00:26:59,705
You expect some trouble,
but no one tells you
635
00:26:59,835 --> 00:27:01,532
about the loneliness.
636
00:27:01,663 --> 00:27:03,404
Or how not even
your family wants
637
00:27:03,534 --> 00:27:05,536
to be around a mom
with a fussy baby.
638
00:27:05,667 --> 00:27:07,582
- That sounds tough.
- It's hell.
639
00:27:07,713 --> 00:27:09,715
Freddie and I started fighting
640
00:27:09,845 --> 00:27:11,020
'cause the school
I was looking into
641
00:27:11,151 --> 00:27:12,892
was for kids with special needs.
642
00:27:13,022 --> 00:27:14,937
He wanted
to put his faith in God?
643
00:27:16,547 --> 00:27:19,376
What kind of God would
take my baby away from me?
644
00:27:19,507 --> 00:27:21,683
Christina,
645
00:27:21,814 --> 00:27:23,293
could Freddie
have done something
646
00:27:23,424 --> 00:27:25,165
without your knowledge?
647
00:27:25,295 --> 00:27:27,036
I can't believe he would
do anything to hurt her.
648
00:27:27,167 --> 00:27:28,647
He loved Ava more than anything.
649
00:27:28,777 --> 00:27:31,432
But...
would he have done something
650
00:27:31,562 --> 00:27:34,087
if he thought it would heal her?
651
00:27:36,959 --> 00:27:39,658
We're gonna need
your help to find him.
652
00:27:40,659 --> 00:27:42,051
ABETEMARCO:
I got you a gift.
653
00:27:42,182 --> 00:27:43,966
Intel.
654
00:27:44,097 --> 00:27:45,576
Is it about a case?
655
00:27:45,707 --> 00:27:47,404
It's about Akeelah Stallings.
656
00:27:47,535 --> 00:27:49,015
I'm not interested.
657
00:27:49,145 --> 00:27:51,887
I have a full caseload
to focus on, and so do you.
658
00:27:52,018 --> 00:27:53,541
That doesn't sound
- like you at all.
- Anthony,
659
00:27:53,672 --> 00:27:54,890
you're the one
that told me there's
660
00:27:55,021 --> 00:27:56,457
nothing to look into here.
661
00:27:56,587 --> 00:27:58,067
Yeah, well,
I changed my mind.
662
00:27:58,198 --> 00:27:59,982
I wanted to know
more about the kid
663
00:28:00,113 --> 00:28:02,768
who riled up Erin Reagan twice.
664
00:28:02,898 --> 00:28:05,509
I spoke
to Akeelah's brother.
665
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,686
Turns out that he cut off
all communication
666
00:28:07,816 --> 00:28:09,949
with Akeelah
following his sentence.
667
00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:12,342
Not a birthday card
or a "Merry Christmas."
668
00:28:12,473 --> 00:28:13,996
Did he say why?
669
00:28:14,127 --> 00:28:15,737
He figured
that she would be better off
670
00:28:15,868 --> 00:28:17,696
without her screwup
older brother holding her back.
671
00:28:18,958 --> 00:28:21,482
And he thought
she was just young enough
672
00:28:21,612 --> 00:28:23,005
to forget about him.
673
00:28:23,136 --> 00:28:24,833
Well, he was wrong.
674
00:28:24,964 --> 00:28:26,661
She just ended up
feeling abandoned.
675
00:28:26,792 --> 00:28:28,489
Well, if I had to guess,
676
00:28:28,619 --> 00:28:29,969
I would say that you were
the receiver
677
00:28:30,099 --> 00:28:31,927
of her misplaced hurt and anger.
678
00:28:33,233 --> 00:28:35,409
And what am I supposed to do
with this information?
679
00:28:35,539 --> 00:28:37,585
I don't know.
680
00:28:38,891 --> 00:28:40,849
But I'm sure
you'll figure it out.
681
00:28:44,635 --> 00:28:46,115
Christina's story
checks out.
682
00:28:46,246 --> 00:28:47,726
Her phone records show
she never left the neighborhood.
683
00:28:47,856 --> 00:28:50,163
And we got the security footage
684
00:28:50,293 --> 00:28:51,555
from the Laundromat finally.
685
00:28:51,686 --> 00:28:53,035
Wesley told me he tried
686
00:28:53,166 --> 00:28:55,646
more neighborhood botanicas,
but nobody
687
00:28:55,777 --> 00:28:57,039
recognized Freddie.
Mm.
688
00:28:57,170 --> 00:28:58,475
Hold on a second.
689
00:29:01,652 --> 00:29:03,089
What was Freddie's alibi?
690
00:29:03,219 --> 00:29:05,526
He was making
deliveries in Queens.
691
00:29:05,656 --> 00:29:08,703
These phone records show he
never left Washington Heights.
692
00:29:08,834 --> 00:29:10,879
- He's been lying this whole time?
- Apparently so.
693
00:29:11,010 --> 00:29:12,228
Let's connect with TARU,
694
00:29:12,359 --> 00:29:13,839
see if we can track
his current location.
695
00:29:16,363 --> 00:29:17,668
[door opens]
696
00:29:17,799 --> 00:29:19,235
ERIN:
Oh.
697
00:29:19,366 --> 00:29:21,847
I thought
you'd still be at work.
698
00:29:23,022 --> 00:29:24,806
Roast has been secured.
699
00:29:24,937 --> 00:29:26,547
Delivered.
700
00:29:27,548 --> 00:29:29,376
And you are welcome.
701
00:29:29,506 --> 00:29:31,334
A grateful family
thanks you.
702
00:29:31,465 --> 00:29:33,554
And a stubborn father
703
00:29:33,684 --> 00:29:35,991
apologizes to you.
704
00:29:37,036 --> 00:29:38,820
Nah.
705
00:29:38,951 --> 00:29:41,214
I took my frustrations
out on you.
706
00:29:41,344 --> 00:29:43,390
[slides chair out]
707
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,349
You were just trying to do
708
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,961
what you thought was right.
709
00:29:56,359 --> 00:29:58,013
Is it a case
710
00:29:58,144 --> 00:30:00,624
that has been
beating you up?
711
00:30:02,235 --> 00:30:03,802
A kid
712
00:30:03,932 --> 00:30:05,629
whose brother I had
713
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,588
to put away a few years back.
714
00:30:07,718 --> 00:30:09,677
Was it the right move?
715
00:30:09,808 --> 00:30:12,549
Yeah, by protocols.
716
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,509
But like your lady
and her car...
717
00:30:15,639 --> 00:30:17,380
Hmm.
718
00:30:17,511 --> 00:30:18,947
...protocols that serve the law
719
00:30:19,078 --> 00:30:21,558
but maybe
not necessarily justice.
720
00:30:21,689 --> 00:30:24,039
[sighs]
721
00:30:24,170 --> 00:30:26,781
The thing is, there isn't
an office in my building
722
00:30:26,912 --> 00:30:28,870
or yours
723
00:30:29,001 --> 00:30:32,613
that's called, you know,
the department of...
724
00:30:32,743 --> 00:30:35,311
falling between the cracks.
725
00:30:35,442 --> 00:30:37,487
Yeah.
726
00:30:37,618 --> 00:30:39,359
And my plate is full.
727
00:30:41,448 --> 00:30:43,276
And so is yours.
728
00:30:47,062 --> 00:30:49,848
They told themselves
and moved on.
729
00:30:50,849 --> 00:30:53,068
Have you moved on?
730
00:30:53,199 --> 00:30:55,157
[sighs]
731
00:30:55,288 --> 00:30:57,420
No.
732
00:30:57,551 --> 00:30:59,683
You?
733
00:31:00,946 --> 00:31:02,991
No.
734
00:31:07,474 --> 00:31:10,042
Okay, I'm off.
735
00:31:10,172 --> 00:31:12,696
Safe home, sleep well.
736
00:31:12,827 --> 00:31:14,176
Fat chance.
737
00:31:14,307 --> 00:31:16,396
[chuckles]
Safe home.
738
00:31:16,526 --> 00:31:18,050
Toss and turn well.
739
00:31:19,529 --> 00:31:21,053
Will do.
740
00:31:23,969 --> 00:31:25,884
Good night, Dad.
741
00:31:26,014 --> 00:31:27,450
Bye.
742
00:31:28,451 --> 00:31:30,062
[door opens]
743
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,291
According to TARU,
744
00:31:42,422 --> 00:31:44,990
this is Freddie's
last known location.
745
00:31:48,558 --> 00:31:49,908
Abner?
746
00:31:52,519 --> 00:31:53,781
I'll call for backup.
747
00:31:55,522 --> 00:31:56,871
Wesley.
748
00:31:58,829 --> 00:32:01,571
I didn't clock this
the other day.
749
00:32:07,012 --> 00:32:07,969
Freddie.
750
00:32:09,318 --> 00:32:10,450
Drop that knife, Freddie.
751
00:32:10,580 --> 00:32:12,147
I said
752
00:32:12,278 --> 00:32:13,453
drop the knife right now!
753
00:32:13,583 --> 00:32:14,454
- He killed Ava.
- No, I didn't.
754
00:32:14,584 --> 00:32:15,672
FREDDIE:
Yes, you did,
755
00:32:15,803 --> 00:32:16,717
and I want you
to bring her back.
756
00:32:16,847 --> 00:32:17,805
She's gone, Freddie.
757
00:32:17,936 --> 00:32:18,806
Yeah, and it's
all his fault.
758
00:32:18,937 --> 00:32:19,938
Let him go.
759
00:32:20,068 --> 00:32:21,330
You said that she had
an evil presence,
760
00:32:21,461 --> 00:32:22,984
- that she's possessed.
- It was...
[coughs]
761
00:32:23,115 --> 00:32:24,507
what the misterios believed.
762
00:32:24,638 --> 00:32:25,552
Yeah, and I believed you.
763
00:32:25,682 --> 00:32:26,553
DANNY:Freddie.
764
00:32:26,683 --> 00:32:27,641
Drop the knife!
765
00:32:27,771 --> 00:32:28,903
You were supposed
to make her better.
766
00:32:29,034 --> 00:32:31,123
I spoke to Christina,
Freddie.
767
00:32:32,689 --> 00:32:34,604
We know you loved Ava
more than anything.
768
00:32:34,735 --> 00:32:36,476
[whimpering]
769
00:32:39,696 --> 00:32:44,092
But now it's, it's my fault
that my baby's gone.
770
00:32:45,876 --> 00:32:48,357
Killing yourself
will not bring her back.
771
00:32:48,488 --> 00:32:49,576
DANNY:
Freddie,
772
00:32:49,706 --> 00:32:51,143
drop the knife.
773
00:32:51,273 --> 00:32:52,709
BAEZ:
Freddie, we know
774
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,059
you weren't trying
to hurt Ava,
775
00:32:54,189 --> 00:32:55,756
but Christina still needs you.
776
00:32:55,886 --> 00:32:58,063
Drop the knife, Freddie.
777
00:32:59,368 --> 00:33:00,413
Don't let the demons win.
778
00:33:00,543 --> 00:33:01,631
Okay?
779
00:33:01,762 --> 00:33:03,111
Drop the knife.
780
00:33:06,201 --> 00:33:07,942
DANNY:
Step away.
781
00:33:08,073 --> 00:33:09,422
Step away. Now.
782
00:33:10,901 --> 00:33:12,947
[speaking Spanish]
783
00:33:21,695 --> 00:33:23,218
I can't thank you enough
for accommodating me.
784
00:33:23,349 --> 00:33:25,046
Well, I couldn't turn
down another member
785
00:33:25,177 --> 00:33:28,136
of Sigma Delta Tau, or
these delicious scones.
786
00:33:28,267 --> 00:33:30,921
Everyone I know raves about
the Shields Academy family.
787
00:33:31,052 --> 00:33:32,749
Oh, I love to hear it.
788
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,751
We do work hard to
make that happen.
789
00:33:34,882 --> 00:33:37,058
By taking a holistic approach
to admissions, right?
790
00:33:37,189 --> 00:33:39,104
Mm, you've done
your research.
791
00:33:39,234 --> 00:33:40,844
We make sure
that the parents
792
00:33:40,975 --> 00:33:42,716
are just as much of a
fit as their children.
793
00:33:42,846 --> 00:33:44,326
Oh, that's so refreshing.
794
00:33:44,457 --> 00:33:47,503
The parents at my son's school
drive me crazy.
795
00:33:47,634 --> 00:33:49,940
- Mm. Too involved?
- Too intense.
796
00:33:50,071 --> 00:33:51,725
"Don't go on this field trip,
don't go on that one."
797
00:33:51,855 --> 00:33:53,335
Every meeting is
them advocating
798
00:33:53,466 --> 00:33:56,338
for safety officers
in the building.
799
00:33:56,469 --> 00:33:58,514
But isn't your son
in kindergarten?
800
00:33:58,645 --> 00:34:00,255
Exactly, and I get it.
801
00:34:00,386 --> 00:34:02,040
You're cops, you want
your friends to have jobs.
802
00:34:02,170 --> 00:34:04,042
But my son deserves
to be in an environment
803
00:34:04,172 --> 00:34:05,347
free of distractions.
804
00:34:05,478 --> 00:34:06,827
Well, I can assure you
805
00:34:06,957 --> 00:34:08,655
that you will not have
to worry about that here.
806
00:34:08,785 --> 00:34:09,917
We take our promise
807
00:34:10,048 --> 00:34:11,527
to admit the right types
of families
808
00:34:11,658 --> 00:34:12,572
very seriously.
809
00:34:12,702 --> 00:34:13,921
Mm.
810
00:34:14,052 --> 00:34:15,749
[footsteps approaching]
811
00:34:18,534 --> 00:34:21,755
You're not a prospective
parent, are you?
812
00:34:21,885 --> 00:34:23,452
Nope. I'm a proud cop.
813
00:34:23,583 --> 00:34:25,324
And?
814
00:34:25,454 --> 00:34:27,326
And we know that you've been
discriminating against our kids.
815
00:34:27,456 --> 00:34:28,457
[laughs]: You've got
nothing to prove that.
816
00:34:28,588 --> 00:34:30,111
JANKO:
Well, that's the thing.
817
00:34:30,242 --> 00:34:32,070
- Cops are family, too.
- And we talk.
818
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:33,375
Yeah, and
it turns out,
819
00:34:33,506 --> 00:34:35,899
we're not the only ones
your school rejected.
820
00:34:36,030 --> 00:34:38,119
JANKO:
And we-we have this, too,
it's a subpoena
821
00:34:38,250 --> 00:34:39,990
for the application records
822
00:34:40,121 --> 00:34:42,732
during your tenure
as director of admissions.
823
00:34:42,863 --> 00:34:44,038
McNICHOLS:
We will be sending
824
00:34:44,169 --> 00:34:46,084
each and every one
of our findings
825
00:34:46,214 --> 00:34:48,651
to the State's
Education Department.
826
00:34:52,655 --> 00:34:53,526
That's a promise.
827
00:34:56,442 --> 00:34:57,443
[footsteps approaching]
828
00:34:57,573 --> 00:34:58,618
[Frank sighs]
829
00:34:58,748 --> 00:34:59,619
Got a minute?
830
00:34:59,749 --> 00:35:01,795
That really a question?
831
00:35:10,499 --> 00:35:11,805
It's parked outside the 2-8.
832
00:35:11,935 --> 00:35:14,242
She just has to sign for it.
833
00:35:15,548 --> 00:35:16,636
Thank you.
834
00:35:16,766 --> 00:35:18,986
You're welcome.
835
00:35:19,117 --> 00:35:21,075
Okay if I take off
and go find her?
836
00:35:21,206 --> 00:35:22,337
Of course.
837
00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:25,166
You want to come?
838
00:35:25,297 --> 00:35:27,516
Yeah, well, I'd love to,
but I got a day.
839
00:35:27,647 --> 00:35:29,736
Okay.
840
00:35:29,866 --> 00:35:31,738
Please give her my best.
841
00:35:31,868 --> 00:35:34,044
I will.
Oh.
842
00:35:34,175 --> 00:35:36,786
And I saw what you did there.
843
00:35:39,137 --> 00:35:41,313
And I saw that it worked.
844
00:35:41,443 --> 00:35:44,751
Yeah, you know,
you're pretty good at that.
845
00:35:44,881 --> 00:35:47,275
Just don't get carried away.
846
00:35:49,016 --> 00:35:50,409
Thanks for helping
us out, Wes.
847
00:35:50,539 --> 00:35:53,890
Yeah, I hate to say it, but, uh,
848
00:35:54,021 --> 00:35:56,197
it's been actually really nice
having you work with us.
849
00:35:56,328 --> 00:35:57,416
I hate that this
was the situation
850
00:35:57,546 --> 00:35:58,678
that brought us
all together,
851
00:35:58,808 --> 00:36:00,810
but I'm happy I
could be of service.
852
00:36:00,941 --> 00:36:02,595
Even though Abner
is already claiming
853
00:36:02,725 --> 00:36:04,249
insanity by way
of possession?
854
00:36:04,379 --> 00:36:05,511
[laughs]
Good luck with that.
855
00:36:05,641 --> 00:36:06,773
Yeah, even then.
856
00:36:06,903 --> 00:36:08,775
So, Maria,
857
00:36:08,905 --> 00:36:11,038
now that the case is done,
maybe you want to grab a drink?
858
00:36:11,169 --> 00:36:13,171
Yeah, I think I'd like that.
859
00:36:13,301 --> 00:36:14,563
Danny, do you want to come?
860
00:36:14,694 --> 00:36:15,999
I'd love to hear about
the case you worked back then.
861
00:36:16,130 --> 00:36:18,219
Wh-Why don't you
guys go? I'll, uh...
862
00:36:18,350 --> 00:36:19,916
I'll take care of the fives.
863
00:36:28,621 --> 00:36:30,100
AKEELAH:I guess you didn't get my
message about McDonald's.
864
00:36:30,231 --> 00:36:32,538
- I did.
- Yeah, right.
865
00:36:32,668 --> 00:36:33,800
Did you bring me here to scare
me straight or something?
866
00:36:33,930 --> 00:36:35,497
No. When I was your age,
867
00:36:35,628 --> 00:36:37,369
I was obsessed
868
00:36:37,499 --> 00:36:41,242
with finding the truth
and seeking answers.
869
00:36:41,373 --> 00:36:43,375
And like you,
I was vice president
870
00:36:43,505 --> 00:36:45,377
of the mock trial team.
871
00:36:45,507 --> 00:36:47,248
- I'm president.
- Even still,
872
00:36:47,379 --> 00:36:49,163
we do have a lot in common.
873
00:36:49,294 --> 00:36:50,599
I hate to break it to you,
874
00:36:50,730 --> 00:36:53,254
but what I said the other day
still stands.
875
00:36:53,385 --> 00:36:55,909
I am not a charity case.
876
00:36:56,039 --> 00:36:58,955
And I am not
offering you charity.
877
00:36:59,086 --> 00:37:01,480
I'm offering you the truth.
878
00:37:01,610 --> 00:37:05,223
And the truth is,
I can be a bit self-righteous.
879
00:37:07,529 --> 00:37:09,923
But you did remind me of why
I got into this line of work
880
00:37:10,053 --> 00:37:11,446
in the first place.
881
00:37:13,970 --> 00:37:17,713
Now, I am not the right person
to explain Eli's actions
882
00:37:17,844 --> 00:37:23,328
or why he cut you off,
but... he is.
883
00:37:27,984 --> 00:37:29,247
Hey, Kee.
884
00:37:34,687 --> 00:37:36,776
I'm so sorry, Kee.
885
00:37:36,906 --> 00:37:40,301
I'll do whatever I can
to make it up to you, I promise.
886
00:37:40,432 --> 00:37:42,564
Hard to do that behind bars.
887
00:37:42,695 --> 00:37:44,218
Well, he won't be for long.
888
00:37:45,263 --> 00:37:47,221
He's getting out?
889
00:37:47,352 --> 00:37:49,005
ERIN:I was not
aware that Eli
890
00:37:49,136 --> 00:37:51,834
was your guardian
at the time of his arrest.
891
00:37:51,965 --> 00:37:53,662
The public defender
failed to mention that to me,
892
00:37:53,793 --> 00:37:58,798
so after discussing
with the D.A. and the judge,
893
00:37:58,928 --> 00:38:01,366
it's been decided that he can
get out on time served.
894
00:38:01,496 --> 00:38:03,019
And it also helped
that Eli was willing
895
00:38:03,150 --> 00:38:06,458
to share some insight
about his bunkmate.
896
00:38:06,588 --> 00:38:09,635
I, I don't know what to say.
Thank you.
897
00:38:11,419 --> 00:38:12,986
Well, I'm sure you have
a lot of catching up to do,
898
00:38:13,116 --> 00:38:14,509
so we'll give you some privacy.
899
00:38:17,947 --> 00:38:19,993
Ms. Reagan?
900
00:38:20,123 --> 00:38:21,821
You still owe me
that burger.
901
00:38:21,951 --> 00:38:24,780
[laughs softly]
I'll see what I can do.
902
00:38:27,522 --> 00:38:28,567
DANNY:
So, to what
903
00:38:28,697 --> 00:38:31,221
do we owe
the honor of your presence, sir?
904
00:38:31,352 --> 00:38:33,789
Your guess is as good as mine.
905
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,922
Well, A, it is long overdue,
906
00:38:36,052 --> 00:38:39,186
and B... Sean?
907
00:38:39,317 --> 00:38:40,666
I told Grandpa
how nervous I was
908
00:38:40,796 --> 00:38:43,190
for my graphic arts
final presentation.
909
00:38:43,321 --> 00:38:44,931
DANNY:
Graphic arts? That's not
what I sent you to college
910
00:38:45,061 --> 00:38:47,716
- to study.
- It's an elective.
911
00:38:47,847 --> 00:38:49,065
That's a funny way
of saying "basket weaving."
912
00:38:49,196 --> 00:38:50,110
SEAN:
I'm broadening
my horizons.
913
00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:51,851
Oh.
But...
914
00:38:51,981 --> 00:38:53,592
back to the project.
915
00:38:53,722 --> 00:38:55,681
Um...
916
00:38:57,204 --> 00:38:58,597
DANNY:
Wow.
917
00:38:58,727 --> 00:38:59,946
Oh.
918
00:39:00,076 --> 00:39:01,382
JANKO:
Oh, wow.
919
00:39:01,513 --> 00:39:02,905
JAMIE: Wha... Oh, my goodness.
920
00:39:03,036 --> 00:39:03,906
HENRY:
Ah.
921
00:39:04,037 --> 00:39:05,343
JANKO:
Ah.
922
00:39:05,473 --> 00:39:06,387
That's...
923
00:39:06,518 --> 00:39:07,345
Something.
924
00:39:07,475 --> 00:39:08,520
DANNY:
It's definitely...
925
00:39:08,650 --> 00:39:10,435
- something.
- I think the idea
926
00:39:10,565 --> 00:39:13,307
of a cool
family portrait
927
00:39:13,438 --> 00:39:14,700
was a little on the nose?
928
00:39:14,830 --> 00:39:15,788
Uh-huh.
Or dated.
929
00:39:15,918 --> 00:39:17,006
That, too.
FRANK:
So I told Sean
930
00:39:17,137 --> 00:39:19,008
that I had the perfect guy
931
00:39:19,139 --> 00:39:21,750
to give him all the tips
he needed.
932
00:39:21,881 --> 00:39:23,883
Oh, that's why I'm here.
Performance coaching.
933
00:39:24,013 --> 00:39:26,233
- Think of it as mentoring.
- FRANK:
And who better
934
00:39:26,364 --> 00:39:28,104
to help than my ace
deputy commissioner
935
00:39:28,235 --> 00:39:30,411
of public information?
936
00:39:30,542 --> 00:39:32,500
You see what I did there?
937
00:39:32,631 --> 00:39:35,329
I'd like to be that guy
but I can't?
938
00:39:35,460 --> 00:39:37,897
SEAN:Oh, well, thanks
anyway. I'll, uh,
939
00:39:38,027 --> 00:39:40,465
tell my professor that I
have crippling stage fright.
940
00:39:40,595 --> 00:39:41,640
[Danny sighs]
Oh.
941
00:39:41,770 --> 00:39:42,989
Uh, you're up.
942
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:46,775
Sean, tell me more
about the portrait.
943
00:39:46,906 --> 00:39:49,125
It appears
you've chosen
944
00:39:49,256 --> 00:39:50,910
exaggeration as a way
945
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,694
to convey
your intent.
946
00:39:52,825 --> 00:39:54,043
What do you mean "exaggeration"?
947
00:39:54,174 --> 00:39:55,828
That's the spitting
image of me.
948
00:39:55,958 --> 00:39:57,090
[laughter]
949
00:39:57,220 --> 00:40:00,441
The assignment was
to tell my origin story.
950
00:40:00,572 --> 00:40:03,313
And you're a descendent
of, uh, cartoons?
951
00:40:03,444 --> 00:40:05,925
It looks like you're saying
y-you come from a family
952
00:40:06,055 --> 00:40:07,143
- of superheroes.
- Mm.
953
00:40:07,274 --> 00:40:08,362
Yeah.
954
00:40:08,493 --> 00:40:09,624
Why do you think that?
955
00:40:10,756 --> 00:40:11,931
He's always been a little off.
956
00:40:12,061 --> 00:40:13,628
Let the man speak.
957
00:40:13,759 --> 00:40:15,325
- Okay.
- Thank you.
958
00:40:15,456 --> 00:40:17,327
Every day, my family
goes out there
959
00:40:17,458 --> 00:40:19,678
and they try to help people.
960
00:40:19,808 --> 00:40:21,984
Mostly total strangers.
961
00:40:22,115 --> 00:40:23,464
Strange total strangers.
962
00:40:23,595 --> 00:40:25,161
Stranger-danger strangers,
in fact.
963
00:40:25,292 --> 00:40:28,164
I think that's your pitch
right there.
964
00:40:28,295 --> 00:40:30,950
The value in putting
your doubts aside
965
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,213
and finding a selfless
common good
966
00:40:33,343 --> 00:40:35,563
in bringing people
to your cause.
967
00:40:37,957 --> 00:40:41,482
A speech or a press conference
really isn't much different.
968
00:40:41,613 --> 00:40:43,441
Is that what he does
in the office?
969
00:40:43,571 --> 00:40:45,312
Apparently.
970
00:40:45,443 --> 00:40:49,011
Sometimes I get to shed light
on something that moves me
971
00:40:49,142 --> 00:40:53,973
and try to move the public
to see it.
972
00:40:54,103 --> 00:40:57,890
I'm very proud and grateful
to have that voice.
973
00:41:00,066 --> 00:41:03,461
[sighs]
And for Sean?
974
00:41:03,591 --> 00:41:05,985
Sean, uh, don't talk
about the carving,
975
00:41:06,115 --> 00:41:07,552
or whatever that is.
976
00:41:07,682 --> 00:41:11,207
Speak from your heart
about your family
977
00:41:11,338 --> 00:41:12,208
and your place
in it...
978
00:41:13,601 --> 00:41:14,776
...and why
979
00:41:14,907 --> 00:41:16,256
they're your heroes.
980
00:41:21,217 --> 00:41:24,177
And do check for boogers
and do check your fly
981
00:41:24,307 --> 00:41:27,572
and don't try to imagine
the audience in their underwear.
982
00:41:29,225 --> 00:41:31,271
That's what he does
at the office.
983
00:41:31,401 --> 00:41:34,535
