They're just transferring him to ICU.
Right. Okay. I'll see you in a few.

What?
Nothing.
She's j-- She's a little intense.
Oh, that's... just "work Jessica."
Yeah, she's -- she's different at home.
Sure.
What? Nothing. Um...
She just -- She doesn't really seem like your type.
My type?
Never mind. You know what? I'm gonna shut up.

W-What are you doing outside the ICU?
Oh, uh, the nurse transferred Mejia here from post-op.
They needed to run some tests.
But I just -- I spoke with the surgeon.
He didn't want to move Mejia yet.
He was gonna do the exams in post-op.

Smitty's rookie?
Had you dead to rights on a parole violation?
Yeah. What do you want?
Your boy. Gleason Dunn.
Tell me where he is,

He's not my boy.
He destroyed a family today,
dumped a gun for a child to find.
Life's full of tragedy.

'Cause I'm hoping for a couple more decades on the job,
years I will spend making your life a living hell
if you don't come clean.
Is that really something you want to sign up for?

Hi.
I'm sorry.
Just, every time I go to my mother's house,
I turn into this person I don't want to be.
Why? Your mom is great.
And don't give me the "You don't really know her" spiel.
She has nothing but a deep and genuine love for you.
So why do you keep turning your back on her?
It's just all that excess. I always hated that.
I need to make it on my own.
[ Chuckles ] What?
Only a rich person would think
turning down money is a noble idea.
[ Scoffs ]
I wore my brother's hand-me-downs until I was 15.
My mom worked two jobs,
and so did we once we reached high school.
So... you think less of me?

You gotta feel good about that, right?
Yeah.
But if I wouldn't have pushed things with my problem spot,
if I would have just sat in the car, like Smitty said,

then Gleason wouldn't have run and he wouldn't have --
he wouldn't have dumped the gun, and that kid would still have a mom.
Stop.
What happened was not your fault.
It was Gleason's, and now he's on the hook for two murders.
