"It's not happening." "Certainly not in the short term, and especially not on the wholesale level." "Retail?" "To what end?" "Just to please Chief Jackson, but piss off the thousands of guys that toed the line and then retired without filing suits?" "Then there's that." "Don't rock the boat." "(sighs)" "What?" "Nothing." "Is this about the chief or you?" "How could it be about me?" "Your own retirement." "What about it?" "The fear of it." "I don't fear it." "I am looking forward to hanging out at the hardware store, pestering the owner about the placement of the surveillance cameras." "Nice dodge." "Thank you." "And you're sure you're not just trying to protect Russ?" "Russ doesn't need protecting from me." "Not typically." "Not ever." "There's nothing to say about Russ except he had my mom's back, and mine, too, and he's the last person who would do her any harm." "I hear you." "Can I ask you a question?" "Of course you can." "Was she drunk?" "The toxicology-- the test where they would be able to determine that, it hasn't come back yet." "But you think what?" "It really doesn't matter what I think." "Come on." "Please?" "They found an empty flask on her." "That's it?" "A flask that would be used to hold liquor in it, and it was empty." "That flask has been empty for nine months." "What do you mean?" "That was what she took her last drink out of." "She always had it on her." "Said it was her way of keeping an eye on her devil." "Check this out." "A visitor's pass from Bedford Correctional from three days ago." "Ellen visited Cerise Paxton." "Why, do you think?" "Yeah, she came to see me." "Said she wanted to get me out of here." "She tell you why?" "Said she thought she and the other one set me up, so..." "Hmm." "You think that?" "Don't matter what I think." "What this about?" "She was found dead yesterday, that's what it's about." "Well, you know I couldn't have done it." "Did you get word to anyone on the outside that she thought that the real killer was still walking around free?" "Stupid woman." "She talked foolish." "If she really to help me, she should've brought me chocolate and herb." "Come on." "Did you get word to anyone on the outside?" "What do you think, we got cell phones?" "Answer the question." "Or your manslaughter rap is gonna become accessory to cop killer." "Yeah, I got word." "Now, look, if Chollie Tosh find out I held out on him," "I be praying they never let me out." "Chollie Tosh." "He the one who committed the murder you're in here for?" "You must really think I'm stupid." "Where can I find him?" "You can't." "Him lay up in a different crib all of the time." "You do realize that corrections officers don't take kindly to cop killers either, right?" "Now, you can act all tough all you want, but I promise you this." "They find out who you're covering for, you're gonna pray that Tosh finds you first." "Look, Sunup and Sundown always know where he at." "That's all I know them as." "He and she." "Sunup and Sundown." "Desmond Hill and Rita Brown." "Alias Sundown and Sunup." "Nah, Mon." "You certain?" "Them no bother to me." "We didn't ask if they bothered you, just if you'd seen them." "Both." "Or neither." "Whichever you like." "Good day." "Yeah, good day to you, too." "Well, that's strike 12." "Well, let's go see the super." "He's got to have those surveillance tapes by now." "Yeah." "You know, maybe we shouldn't show them as a pair anymore." " Why?" " You know how it is with couples." "Sometimes you like one, but not the other one." "(elevator bell dings)" "I don't know." "Maybe we should alternate 'em, you know?" "I'd say we start with Sundown." "He looks like somebody people would want to get back at." "I was thinking Sunup does." "You think?" "Yeah." "Not so much." "Police!" "(overlapping shouting)" "Drop it!" "I said drop it!" "Put it down." "You first." "Drop it!" "Put the gun down right now." "(pistol dry-clicks) (cries out)" "(elevator stop alarm rings)" "Gun." "Okay." "Hey." "Hey!" "Look at me." "Look at me." "There are no cameras in this elevator, okay?" "So unless you want to end up dead, like your girlfriend, you're gonna tell me where I can find Tosh right now." "Where is he?" "!" "Hotel 8." "Motel 8?" "Which one?" "Which one?" "!" "Hotel 8." "Hey." "Hey!" "He's gone." "(sighs)" "Deputy Chief Jackson regrets he can't make it in here." "What's that mean?" "He's "up to his ears out at SOD headquarters and can't make time to come in."" "So he's ducking a request from this office." "Or he's just got too much on his plate to come all the way in from Floyd Bennett Field." "Do you want me to clarify it as a direct order?" "I want to clarify it as an appointment for an apology... from me." "How do you want me to word that?" "I don't." "Sir?" "He said to me, rocking the boat was not my style." "He didn't mean it as a compliment." "It's not exactly an insult, either." "I was raised by a Roman Catholic, with a cop for a father, schooled by Jesuits, then by the Marines, and then I joined the NYPD." "The creed of every significant relationship and organization that informed my life... could be boiled down to toe the line, obey the rules..." "And don't rock the boat." "You're the boss." "The boss isn't supposed to rock the boat." "The boss is supposed to steady the boat." "So I should always do what I'm supposed to do." "Try him again and tell him clam pies from Zingoni's Pizza will be joining the meeting." "Tampering with food and drink items?" "Falsifying official department records?" "Internal Affairs takes this kind of behavior very seriously." "Do you understand that?" "Yes, sir." "Copy that." "Just for the record, the tampering with the drink accusation was false and... proven to be so." "Your last name ain't Kryptonite to me, Officer Reagan." "You understand that?" "I got it." "Got it?" "Copy that, boss." "So here's what's gonna happen, and I already cleared this with your CO." "Reagan, you're riding with Patimkin." "Janko, you're riding with Welch." "For the next 30 days." "We got no room for Hatfields and McCoys in this department, and you are all dispensable, and you are all interchangeable." "Do you copy that?" "Copy that." "Yes, sir." "I'm gonna go change." "(scoffs, sighs)" "You notice how she didn't respond to any of his barks?" "Notice he didn't bust her on it?" "She's an IA mole?" "My partner's a rat." "Well, your partner, now." "Nothing we can do about it." "Nope." "Just got to eat it." "What do you mean it's not a Hotel 8?" "Well, when did they change it to Kwik Stay?" "Danny..." "What do you mean they didn't?" "Okay, maybe I got some bad information, I don't know." "Reagan?" "Thanks." "What?" "!" "He wasn't saying "Motel 8."" "Then what was he saying?" "He was saying "Hotel Hate," with an "H."" "A transcription from a deposition from a Tosh foot soldier, just last month." "Look." ""Where he goes when things get hot" ""is an old bus garage in Red Hook." "They got the kitchen and cots and all of that"." "Did he name the crib?" "Uh, quote, "Tosh, he calls it 'Hotel Hate' 'cause he hates it when he has to hole up there"" Right." "But if the guy gave it up," "Tosh would know, and he'd stay away from the place." "He's a C.I., he testified in a sealed courtroom." "Okay, do we have an address for the place?" "894 Wolcott Street." "Okay, let's track down this C.I." "(door opens, footsteps approach)" "BAKER:" "Your detail's ready out front, ride time out to E.S.U. Headquarters is about 40 minutes." "Is he still in his office?" "Lieutenant Gormley's giving his staff notice that you're heading out there." "Thank you." "I've allowed a half-hour on site and given the mayor's office notice that you may be late to the reception." "Maybe we could we make it a standing notice?" "Afraid not, sir." "Boss, he's not there." "Chief Jackson is out on the field with his men getting ready to hit a location." "Where?" "Waiting on word." "What's the operation?" "A raid." "Jackson said, quote," ""I want to go out at 90 miles an hour with my hair on fire."" "They're forcing me out next week." "Turning 63." "You'll be missed." "Not as much as I'll miss this." "Hold on."

"And very lucky you didn't cowboy your way into a permanent retirement." "Detective Reagan had my back." "And can you tell him thanks if you see him before I do?" "I'll do that." "Nice to have a Reagan have my back when it counted." "90 miles an hour with your hair on fire?" "That's how I roll." "So it's official, right?" "Yes." "Truce." "The Treaty of the Twelfth Precinct." "Signed and sealed." "To be fair, that IA dick did have a point." "You start getting tangled up in the one-upping with the pranks and the practical jokes, you're bound to take your eye off the ball." "Easy there, Girl Scout." "I'm just saying." "I'm so glad you see it that way." "(laughs)" "(car door bell dings)" "Richie." "Hey." "Hey, Detective." "You can call me Danny." "Okay." "Danny." "What's up?" "I just wanted to come by and see how you're doing." "Brought you this." "New game in the stores." "Figured you might like it." "Thank you." "Was this your mom's?" "Well, I wish, but no." "Hey, Russ." "Hey, Danny." "I'll get the last load, you start putting it away?" "Copy that." "Thanks for stopping by." "You bet." "What's this?" "Well, I came clean with IA, which got me modified pending investigation." "Sorry to hear that." "Yeah." "It is what it is." "I've been there." "So I talked to Richie, and we decided I'd move in with him." "Wow." "Kind of help get us both back on our feet." "Look at you." "In the spirit of making amends..." "Kid needs a parent." "And you're the guy who was willing to step up." "That door was open, yeah." "Good for you." "Really." "Thanks, Danny." "I'll see you around." "JACKSON:" "I think I should be allowed to make a statement." "Is there a record of this?" "What do you mean?" "Do you fill out any kind of account or report after the fact?" "If you're gonna throw a punch, there'll be paperwork." "Otherwise, no." "I'm not joking, Frank." "You want to say something for the record?" "Yes." "That I'm retiring under protest, and seeking remedy through legal action against this department, charging age discrimination." "Thank you for your service, Chief." "Let's go." "I'll walk you out." "You are leaving under protest, and threatening a lawsuit." "I will escort you out of the building." "Let's go." "Sir, your elevator is out." "Since when?" "Since now." "You'll have to use the main." "Sorry." "We're gonna have to take a little walk." "I came here on my own steam." "I can leave the same way." "By the by, if you're suing the NYPD, you're suing the wrong people." "The retirement mandate comes from state law." "You need to be suing Albany." "Oh, we're looking at that." "So are we." "You are?" "Yes."
