"I would so go to this place." "I would so hope." "Okay, which one should I send to the printer?" "Too many decisions." "My brain's fried." "Abby, you decide, honey." "Oh, design is not my specialty." "Just pretend it's a bad guy." "Well, in that case, this one." "Mom, this is so great." "Your dream is finally coming true." " Can you believe it?" " No!" "You inspired me to follow my dream." "I don't know how I'm ever going to be able to thank you enough for letting me be a part of this." "We are so proud of you." "Oh, girls, girls, now stop." "Stop it 'cause you're gonna make me all weepy." " Oh." " Oh, now we're out of coffee." " On it." " Thank you." "Oh!" "Ah." "Mom." "Why are you so nervous?" "Why am I so nervous?" "Well, I've got a million things to do before the opening party, and I've only got a few days left." "It's just family and friends." "If it's not perfect, no one will care." "Well, I will." "Oh, I need to go to work." "Do you want a muffin to go?" "Yes, please." "Oh, thank you, darling." "How would you feel about me dating your brother?" "Well, I guess that would depend on which one you're talking about." "Donnie." "Who else?" "Um, wow." "I would feel good." "I think it's a great idea." "I'm sorry I didn't think of it." "Really?" "Really." "I think it's about time" "Donnie got back out there and started dating." "And who better to show him the way?" "Don't you normally name the firstborn after the husband?" "There's nothing normal about the Flores family." "Carlos' father is a Carlos, so my Carlos is already a junior, so we didn't want to have a junior junior." "So we never named any of the boys Carlos." "Okay, so why start now?" "Because it's the last one." "Carlos knows it's now or never." "I want to speak to lt." "Papadol." "He's not here." "Can we help you, Lieutenant?" "Reggie Johnson." "I work the 26th district." "We have a problem at the Academy." "Can you play this?" "Sure." "Two CPD recruits from Alpha squad were kidnapped and assaulted yesterday." "One of them was my daughter." "That's her there." "That's Tamika." "Then you'll see the second one." "That's their classmate Jethro Carson." "They're being shoved towards the Chicago River." "By who?" "By two unidentified male idiots who pushed Tamika and Jethro in the water and left." "Are they okay?" "Tamika's okay." "I can't speak for Jethro." "I'm afraid the two psychos who did this are fellow recruits." "How did you find out about this?" "We had dinner last night, she was upset," "I finally got it out of her what happened, where it happened." "I went out there this morning," "I saw a security camera, tracked down the damn video." "Here I am." "Tamika didn't want to file a police report." "She told me to stay out of it." "You did the right thing." "CPD has zero tolerance for hazing." "No, I don't call this hazing, Detective." "I call this attempted murder." "Yeah, it's gonna work, man." "It's gonna work." "Yeah, I mean, I hope so." "I hope so." "Okay, guys, against the car." "Come on, you know the drill." "Here we go." "Here we go." "We didn't do nothing, man." "Sister Clair sent us." "Yeah, and the Pope sent me." "Don, Don, stop." "Stop, stop, stop." "Stop." "Sheila, back inside." "I'm sorry." "I'm terribly sorry." "There's been a big mix-up." "Please go back inside and wait for me." "I'll be right there." "Just go inside." "What the hell was that about?" "What are you doing?" "They're here for a job interview." "Sister Clair sent them." "I told you about this last night." " No, you didn't." " Yes, I did." "Was I reading the paper at the time?" "You might have been." "Sister Clair runs an organization called Second Chances that gives ex-gang members a chance to get their lives back together." "That's what parole is for." "They have great success." "They have an excellent baking program." "Plus, whoever I hire, half their salary's covered for the first six months." "Did you see the tattoos on those guys?" "That means he killed someone." " Really?" " Really." "Well, I made a commitment to Sister Clair, and I believe in second chances." "Lt. Reggie Johnson is third-generation Chicago cop." "His mother and grandfather were cops." "Now his daughter Tamika's carrying on the legacy." "Sound familiar, Kowalski?" "Well, I can't imagine my mom as a cop, and Tamika's an only child, but, other than that..." "Yes, sir." "This was taken yesterday morning-- footage from a security camera." "2009 Dodge Caravan." "Unreadable plates." "We checked all 19 recruits in Alpha squad." "Not one of them has a 2009 Dodge Caravan registered to them." "How do we know recruits did this?" "All we know is what Lt. Johnson told us, but we need to talk to Jethro and Tamika." "Keep it low-key." "Let's see if this is an isolated thing or if there's a culture over there that breeds it." "You okay?" "Yeah, I'm just hot." "You want some ice?" "No." "No, I'll be fine." "I'll meet you downstairs." " Hey!" " Hey." "I was coming to find you." " You were?" " Yeah." " You owe me a date." " Do I?" "I was supposed to take you to dinner for your birthday." "Oh, that's right." "Look, I am so sorry about that whole thing." "Well, why don't you show me how sorry you are and have dinner with me on Saturday?" "Please don't say you have to work." "Okay, I would love to have dinner with you on Saturday." "You can pick me up at 7:00." " Okay then." " Okay." "He's dehydrated." "I've seen it a million times." "Sergeant Egan, good to see you." "They think I tell 'em to drink water for my own benefit." "Listen, and you won't end up in the same boat as your buddy here." "Kowalski knows what I'm talking about, isn't that right?" "Yes, sir." "All right, time to get back to work." "Tamika, run your squad through the drills." "Yes, sir." "Come on, people." "Begin with the dummy drag and move on to the tire run..." "I heard a nasty rumor you were working Internal Affairs." "It's not a rumor." "We need to ask some of your recruits some questions." "How come you want to talk to my recruits?" "Are all 19 members of the Alpha squad here today?" "Minus the one going to the hospital?" " What's his name?" " Lynn O'Leary." "And, no, Jethro Carson didn't show up today." "Any idea why?" "I haven't heard from him." "He's a lousy recruit, probably dropped out." "Do other recruits share the same opinion of Jethro?" "What?" "That he's not cut out to be a cop?" "All of them do." "He cost 'em a hundred extra laps last week when he wimped out on a wall." "Well, the wall's always been the recruits' biggest challenge." "Give me a break." "If they can't cut it here, how are they gonna make it in the street when they got to watch a partner's back?" "Do you still have battle buddies?" " Yeah." " So Tamika and Jethro?" " Yeah." " Battle buddies?" "I team the strong with the weak, send 'em into battle together." "The strong's responsible for the weak." " Responsible in what way?" " In every way." "If Tamika wants to stay at the top of Alpha squad, she's got to make sure Jethro gets over that wall." "And if he doesn't?" "Then she doesn't graduate." "So both battle buddies have to make it over the wall in order to graduate?" "Since when?" "Since they started sending me recruits that got no business becoming cops." "So if Jethro were to drop out," "Tamika would have nothing to worry about?" "That's right." "Take a look at her." "She's been smiling all day." "Tamika, you were kidnapped, hand-tied, had a hood thrown over your head, and pushed into the Chicago River." "That's not nothing" "No, ma'am, it's a prank." "Pranks like that happen often at the Academy?" "Not that I know about." "Tell us how it went down." "We were jogging on North Clybourn." "Then a bag went over my head, someone slammed me on the ground, tied my hands, and threw me in a van with Jethro." "Did they say anything?" "Not one word." "We didn't drive far." "He got me out, walked me to the water, and loosened the ropes." "The minute I hit the water," "I was able to free myself." "Then you swam back to the seawall?" "Yeah." "Jethro panicked." "I had to pull him out." "Was he injured?" "No." "He was crying, said he couldn't take it anymore." "I told him the same thing Sgt. Egan told him." ""The streets are gonna make the Academy seem like an Easter parade."" "I started walking." "I went to get help." "When I came back, he was gone." "What did you think when Jethro didn't show up today?" "I thought he quit." "Last time I saw him, he said he was done." "Makes your life easier." "Why didn't you call the police?" "Because you know who did it." "No, I don't know who did it." "You have your suspicions." "I'm not gonna lie to you." "I'm happy I don't have to babysit him any longer." "Jethro had this romantic notion about being a cop." "He just wasn't cut out to be one." "So maybe you and your buddies, who you won't rat out, helped him to the door?" "What, you think I was a part of it?" "What are we supposed to think?" "You won't tell us who assaulted you." "Look, I wanted him to do well." "I was busting my butt to make sure of it." "Anyone else in the class who didn't want Jethro to succeed?" "Yeah." "Everyone." "Excuse us." "We found Jethro." "He's safe." "He's already back at his old job." "Good." "'Cause we're not getting a lot out of Tamika." "You think Tamika's involved?" "We don't know." "But we do think she knows who it is." "She just doesn't want to be a rat." "We know why Tamika and Jethro were targeted?" "Jethro's the weak link." "Tamika is his partner." "You stay with Tamika." "You talk to Jethro." "Excuse me." "You Jethro Carson?" "Who wants to know?" "I'm Detective Lina Flores," "Internal Affairs." "Great." "How'd you find me here?" "Some of your recruit friends told us." "They all hated me, Detective." "I certainly don't consider them friends." "The Academy is a place to learn, not to be abused." "Were you abused?" "Bullied?" "Were you harassed by Sgt. Egan or any of the other recruits?" "I thought it was called motivation." "Who pushed you and Tamika into the Chicago River?" "How should I know?" "I had a bag over my head." "Look, I'm done talking about these people." "They're out of my life, so if you'll excuse me." "And how are your baking skills?" "I'm learning." "And by learning, you mean you can boil water?" "Okay, I don't know a lot, but I can make a mean cup of coffee, you know, wash the dishes, clean the ovens, mop the floors." "Well..." "I appreciate your honesty, Blas, but I need bakers." "Mrs. Kowalski, I really need this job." "I'll do anything you need." "Please." "Let me finish up with the rest of the interviews and I'll let you know by the end of the day." "Okay?" "Thank you." "Lourdes Perez?" "So it says here your specialty is strawberry-kiwi shortcake?" "It's my abuela's recipe." "I've been baking since I was a kid." "My abuela taught me everything I know." "My grandmother taught me everything I know too." "And some of my best memories are of baking with her." "Sister Clair believes that someday you're gonna be a top pastry chef." "Sister Clair's my guardian angel." "But she has bigger dreams than I do." "And what are your dreams?" "Finish high school, work, make a life for myself outside the gang." "Well, I can get you started on one of your dreams." "You're hired." "Are you serious?" "When can you start?" "Right now." "Yes, I was hard on Jethro, but I didn't bully him." "I wanted him to commit fully, 100%." "He never has." "You can't make someone commit." "Look, I hate that wall." "I want to chop it down, but not until I get over it." "And I'm gonna do it in under ten seconds." "Ten seconds is the record." "Set by my dad." "Wait, your dad is the ghost that every recruit wants to beat?" "What was your time?" "Ooh, 15 seconds." "I'm gonna make it in nine." "You think Jethro's holding you back?" "Nobody's holding me back." "Was Sgt. Egan your D.I.?" "Yeah." "He got me over that wall." "Sgt. Egan and my dad don't get along." "Why?" "My dad watches the drills and gives his opinions." "Do you think Egan was too hard on Jethro?" "If he was, Jethro needed it." "How long have you wanted to be a cop?" "Ooh, conception?" "Like we had a choice, right?" "This is where we came up from the seawall." "You could have drowned." "Jethro almost did." "Do you really think the two guys who did this deserve a badge?" "I think they made a mistake." "They committed a crime." "And by not telling me who they are, you're helping to cover up a crime." "Is that really how you want to start your career as a cop?" "Give me their names." "Wade Thompson and Lynn O'Leary." "Uh..." "Okay." " Hey." " Hey." "Sorry to come out here like this." "No, it's fine." "What's up?" "Richie invited me to your mom's bakery party." " He did." " Yeah, I just wanted to drop by and check with you to see if it's cool, 'cause the whole birthday thing with Danny was kind of weird." "I didn't want a repeat." "No." "Neither do I." "Okay, so, it's all good?" "Yeah." "All good." "All right." "See you there." "See you there." "Your name was given to us, Wade." "We heard you had it out for Tamika and Jethro." "Where were you Sunday morning at 5:41?" "Home." "Sleeping." " Who'd you borrow the van from?" " What van?" "The van you and your buddy Lynn borrowed to kidnap Jethro and Tamika." "We know about the hazing." "There is no hazing at the academy." "Yeah, we heard otherwise." "We have you on tape." "You got me on tape?" "You got my face on tape?" "No, but we know your height." "You want to tell me who else is a 6'5" recruit in Alpha squad?" "So?" "So I'm a tall recruit?" "So what?" "I'm not the only 6'5" guy in Chicago, am I?" "Do you realize the seriousness of this crime?" "You could be facing assault and kidnapping charges?" "It wasn't me." "If I find out you had anything to do with the hazing of Jethro and Tamika," "I will recommend termination from the Academy." "I suggest you find yourself a good lawyer." "Okay, fine, we teased him." "Jethro made himself an easy target." "Wade and I were just trying to toughen him up." "By dumping him in the river?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Okay, Lynn, we know you and your battle buddy Wade kidnapped and assaulted Tamika Johnson and Jethro Carson." "And as soon as we get the proof, which we will, you're not only gonna get kicked out of the Academy, you're gonna go prison." "Care to change your statement?" "Wait here." "Hey, Dad." "Listen you got to talk to your mother." "She's hiring thugs from Second Chances to do her baking." "Yeah, I know." "You know?" "Yeah, I think it's a great organization." "Do you know that she hired a murderer?" "She's in way over her head." "She won't listen to me." "Hopefully she'll listen to you." "Okay, I'll talk to her." "Dad, I got to go." "There's been an accident at the Academy." "Tamika's been hurt." " How bad?" " Bad." "Her neck's been broken." "They have to wait for the swelling to go down before they can perform surgery." "We understand you were watching the exercises." "Yeah." "Tamika was the first one over the wall." "She got to the top, she was doing great..." "And then something happened." "Her hands--her hands went out from underneath, and she went over." "Headfirst." "Someone greased the wall." "What?" "When I reached Tamika, her hands and her shirt were covered in grease." "I want to know who is responsible for putting my baby in that bed." "My strong..." "My strong, beautiful, little girl may not be able to use her arms." "Or her legs." "Just find whoever did this, Detectives." "Yes, I know about the teardrop." "Every tattoo tells a story." "What's Lourdes' story?" "She shot and killed a rival gang member when she was 14." "She spent four years in juvy and three years in prison." "Oh, my." "What'd you think, Sheila?" "These kids were busted for jaywalking?" "They've had tough lives." " I-I know." "I just" "I guess I never thought it would be that tough." "You wanted the litter bugs?" "And the shoplifters." "You want to back out?" "We all have different ways to give." "This may not be the calling that God has in mind for you." "I don't want to back out." "Good." "I'll be fine." "I believe you will." "I'm sorry I called you." "I'll try not to bug you for every little thing." "It's just that owning my own business is so new to me." "You can call me whenever you want." "Helping a stranger on the road to redemption is not easy." "Pray on it." "You'll find your way." "Everything okay?" "Yes." "Go back to work." "Hey." "If your father sent you, you can just go right back home." "I've already had your three brothers in here giving me the third degree." "I don't need it from you." " Well, that's a fine howdy-do." "Why can't a daughter just stop by and say hi to her mom for the heck of it?" "Okay, dad's worried about you." "He said you hired a killer." "Oh, he makes me so mad sometimes." " Did you hire a killer?" " Yes." " And?" " And what?" "The organization is called second chances, Abby." "There's a reason these people need help." "Okay." " Is that it?" " Yeah." "This is your shot, mom." "You have the right to hire whomever you want." "And no one is a better judge of character than you." "Thank you." "Always." " We have booze." " Oh, great." "Where do you want it?" "Tell Stevie to go around back, I'll unlock the door." "Okay." "Hey, drive around back." "What?" "What was that for?" "You invited Brody to mom's party." " So?" " "So?"" "I thought you liked Danny." "I do, but Brody's my partner and friend." "I can't just ignore him because you can't make up your damn mind." "Seriously, pick already." "It's not that easy." "God, you're such a girl." " Take that back." " You take it back." "You take it back." "Richie!" "Oh, ow!" "Put me down!" "Would you two knock it off?" " She started it." " I so did not." "He did." "You started it." " I don't care who started it." "Would you--seriously." "Grow up." "Ow!" "You guys are worse than my kids." "It's axle grease." "It was spread all over the top plank." "So when Tamika reached for the top plank..." "Her hand would slip right off." "Hey." "This is Kevin Proud." "He's worked in the main office for years." "He just gave me the maintenance schedule for the wall." "We're also gonna need a class schedule." " Oh, oh, sure." " And do you know which squad used the wall fore Alpha?" "Yeah, kappa squad had the course from 6:30 to 8:00 in the morning." "Alpha squad arrived at 8:30." "Who else would have access between 8:00 and 8:30?" "A lot of people, from the groundskeeper to maintenance crew to every recruit on campus." "Kowalski." "I heard you were looking for me." "Hey, you." "You work in the main office?" "Yes, sir." "We need some more water out here." "Yes, sir." "Nice." "What?" ""Hey, you."" "Seriously?" "Kevin Proud's worked in the office for years." "You don't even know his name." "I go to the office for paperwork, not chatting up paper pushers." "Now this wasn't an accident." "I think we already know that, sergeant." "Is the class commander still the first one over the wall?" "Yeah." "What, you think Tamika was targeted?" "What do you think?" "Well, some of the recruits aren't fans, I'll give you that, but to intentionally hurt her?" "No way." "Are you aware there was hazing going on in Alpha squad?" "There is no hazing here." "Well, Tamika's father feels otherwise." "He's filed a complaint against the Academy." "Do you know lt." "Johnson?" "Oh, yeah." "Unfortunately." "He's a major pain in my ass." "He's here all the time, checking up on Tamika." "He's always yelling at me, telling me what I'm doing wrong." "Listen, this guy is not exactly miss congeniality." "Well, I didn't think parents were allowed to watch." "Oh, they're not." "You try telling that to lt." "Johnson." "Lourdes, I never would have thought to add cinnamon to the kolaches." "They're so delicious." "Cinnamon is one of my secret ingredients." "It's so good." "So I'll see you tomorrow?" "Okay, bright and early, right?" "We have a lot to do tomorrow." "Bye." "Hey, Don, is that you?" "Can I help you?" "Where's Lourdes?" "Heard she works here." "Who are you?" "Where's Lourdes?" "I'll tell her you stopped by." "I want to see my kid." "I'll give her that message." "You're gonna give me her address." "I don't have her address." "You should give her a call." "She's not answering my calls." "Give me her address." "Okay." "Okay, I have it over here." "Leave." "Walk out that door now." "What you gonna do, huh?" " You're gonna shoot me?" " Take one more step and find out." "All right." "All right, I'm gone." "You're one crazy bitch." "Okay, last one." "Sarah Thompson." "That's Wade's mother." "Yeah, I know I'm grasping at straws." "2001 Lexus." "Okay, well, if I think of anything else, I'll-- okay, thank you, bye." "No one in Lynn or Wade's family owns a 2009 Dodge Caravan." "They could have borrowed it from a friend, a neighbor." "They could have even rented it and taken off the tags." "Yeah, I'll check it out." " You should go home." " Oh, yeah?" "You got a hot date?" "No, no hot date." "Mm." "I spy Danny." "Uh..." "You know what, you can go." "I'll be leaving soon anyway, so..." "Okay." " Hey." " You ever go home?" "Occasionally." "How you been?" " Busy." " You?" "Well, it's after 7:00, and I'm still at work." "What do you think?" "I think you should take a break and let me take you to dinner." "There's this great place." "It's called perennial." "They have the most amazing rice dish." "Makes me hungry just thinking about it." "So can I entice you?" "Uh..." "Can I take a rain check?" "Sure." "Don't work too hard." "You okay?" "Yeah, just-- just a really long day." "Mm-hmm." "You mad at me?" "No." "Anything you want to talk about?" "No." "No, I'm fine." "I'll get it." "Hi, I'm Lourdes." "I work for Mrs. Kowalski." "Can I speak to her?" "Oh, yes." "Please." "Come in." " Lourdes." " Come in." "Is everything okay?" "I just heard what Gus did." "I'm so sorry." "He didn't mean you no harm." "It's okay." "Let's talk about this tomorrow." "Okay?" "Okay." "If you're sure you're okay..." "I'm fine." "Good night." "What happened?" "I pulled my gun on her boyfriend tonight." "Why?" "He came in the shop looking for her, and he wouldn't leave." "What's his name?" "What is his name, Sheila?" "Gus." "That's all I know." "Some guy comes into your shop and threatens you," "I'll kill him." "You will do no such thing." "I took care of it." "He's not gonna come back." "You taught me to use a gun for a reason." "So let it go." "Okay?" "Please." "Oh!" "Oh, Danny." "Sorry." "I didn't mean to scare you." "I'm just tired." "Well, I figured you'd still be here." "So..." "I brought you dinner." " That's really sweet of you." " Oh, don't tell anyone." "I have a reputation around here I want to keep." "Well, then I'd lose the lunchbox." "Oh, this?" "This only comes out on special occasions." "Oh." "I got you my famous peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwich." "And why is this famous?" "The bread." "I got it at this great bakery in Lincoln Park." " Floriole?" " Yeah." "Oh, I love that place." "They have the most amazing almond croissants." "I get that every single day." "Mm." "Wow." "Okay, the bread is good, but the strawberry jam is amazing." "My mom made it." "She has a garden and cans it every year." "Mm." "I should hook her up with my mom." "That's right." "Richie said she's opening a bakery?" "Yeah." "So you and Richie." "Is it getting serious?" "I must admit I have a little bit of a man crush." "Oh." "I also got you some milk." "Because you can't have a PBJ without milk." "And for dessert... ♪ Da da da da ♪" "Chocolate-chip cookie." "Danny, you did not have to go to this much trouble." "I don't see you as trouble." "Okay, maybe a little." "Thanks for the popsicles." "That was very sweet of you." "Well, you said you were hot." "I thought it might help." "So I went through the DMV list for all the 2009 Dodge Caravans." "All of 'em?" "All 2,023 of them." " You get a hit?" " Nope." " Nothing." " Mm-hmm." "Lynn, what are you doing here?" "Um, I want to make a deal." "Unless it involves a confession, we're not interested." "Wade and I threw Jethro and Tamika into the river." "We had nothing to do with greasing the wall." "Okay, you can ask 20 guys." "Both of us were in the gym." "So you're admitting to the kidnapping and assault of Tamika Johnson and Jethro Carson?" "I'm admitting to a joke that maybe got out of hand." "I mean, come on, we untied their hands." "We didn't want to hurt 'em." "Who loaned you the van?" "Kevin Proud." "It was actually his idea." "Thank you, Mr. O'Leary." "Are you guys gonna help me out?" "We'll see what we can do." "Kevin Proud from the Academy office?" "What would Kevin Proud have against Tamika and Jethro?" "Not a clue." "Okay, let's start with the obvious-- most of the civilians who work for the department hate cops." "Well, I can understand why." "They do so much of the work, they don't have the same union protection, pension, the respect." "So let's go find out if Kevin Proud is an unhappy employee." "So I loaned Lynn my van." "He said he was moving." "Gave me 50 bucks." "Last time, Garcia." "You lose your locker combo again, you can haul your crap around on your back." "We heard something different." "We heard you offered it up after planting ideas in the heads of young recruits." "Ideas about what?" "The good old days of hazing." "There's no hazing at the Academy." "Do you know how many times we've heard that in the last few days?" "When did Lynn borrow your van?" "It was last week." "Friday." "Said he had a lot of boxes to move." "We're gonna need those keys." "Why's that?" "Crime lab wants to search inside." "Oh." "Okay." "Sure." "I'll get 'em for you." "I need Tamika Johnson's locker combination." "Got a call today saying they needed me to clean out Tamika's locker." "Couldn't wait." "They're like vultures." " How's she doing?" " She's holding up." "You're welcome." "He's in a lot of pain." "I'm sure he didn't mean to be so rude." "Yeah, he did." "Reggie's always been a dick." "You've got something personal against Reggie?" "Who doesn't?" "He walks around here like he owns the place." "I'll--I'll get the keys." "Guess we found our connection." "So you think this is about Reggie?" "We talked to several officers under his command." "Reggie is not well-respected." "And there's no love lost between Reggie and Kevin Proud." "But it was Kevin Proud who loaned out his van for the river escapade." "This is interesting." "20 years ago, Kevin was a recruit, but he never graduated from the Academy." " Why?" " Well, Kevin's a civilian, so it doesn't have the details." "It just notes that Kevin was dismissed." "Two months later, he got a job in the main office." "Looks like he's had excellent performance reviews over the years." "20 years ago, Reggie would have been at the Academy at the exact same time." "Here we go." "20 years ago, Reggie reported a fellow recruit for misconduct." "Guess who?" "I think we should take a closer look at Kevin Proud." "Get a warrant." "We're looking for Kevin Proud." "He took the rest of the day off." "Did he say why?" "I don't keep tabs on his personal life." "Come on, you must have exchanged words when he told you he was leaving early." "Kevin is under investigation." "Anything you can tell us about your conversation could be helpful." "Think he said something about visiting a friend." "Asked if I knew of a good florist near Marshall and West 19th Street." "Right near Garfield General Hospital." "Do I still have a job?" "Of course." "Lourdes, hold on." "Look, he's not my boyfriend." "We broke up months ago." "I realize I should have told you about my son." "I just--I just didn't want you to think I was always going to be leaving early because--because I have a kid because I won't." "My moms is helping out." "She knows how important this job is to me." " Lourdes." " I totally understand if you need to fire me." "I just want you to hand this to Blas." "He's making a grocery run for me." "You're really not upset?" "I'm upset you felt you had to hide your son from me." "I want to support you any way I can, okay?" "You seriously are the coolest woman I've ever met." "Her injuries are so severe, you know, she may never walk again." "But thank God my baby's still alive." "What's going on?" "Do you know this man?" "He came on behalf of the Academy to send good wishes for Tamika's recovery." "He brought these flowers." "Everybody at the Academy feels lousy about what happened to Tamika." "Really?" "Everybody?" "Lousy?" "Tell me what's happening." "We just need to take Kevin down to the station for a little chat." "Oh." "Yeah, sure." "Detective, is he responsible for Tamika's accident?" "We don't know yet, sir." "But we intend to find out." "We found this in your garage." "So?" "I use it for my cars." "You also used it on the wall to hurt Tamika." "Are you crazy?" "I've got nothing against Tamika." "We know." "Your grudge goes back a lot further than that." "20 years, to be exact." "You and Reggie were recruits together." "You even considered him a friend until he turned you in for impersonating an officer." "Must have been devastating when you were kicked out of the Academy." "All your hopes and dreams gone in that one moment." "Says here you come from a long line of cops." "But that legacy stopped with you." "Didn't that upset you?" "What do you think?" "I think it ate away at you every day knowing Reggie was out there having the career that you wanted." "But there was no way for you to get revenge until Tamika walked into the Academy." "You wanted Reggie to pay for everything that he did to you." "And what better way to do it than hurt the one thing he loves the most?" "Tamika." "He was always there." "To watch his precious Tamika." "He was so proud, so cocky." "You know, I saw him in the bathroom one day." "We were standing right next to each other, washed our hands, and I could tell he had no idea who I was." "So I introduced myself." "Not a flicker of recognition." "He ruined my life." "I'll never forget the day I ruined his." "Honey, where should I put these?" "Oh, yeah, put 'em right there, honey." "Thank you so much." "So, listen, I need to tell you something." "What?" "I took care of Lourdes' ex." "Oh, you are a nut." "No, but, seriously, I paid a little visit to Mr. Moroni." "I told him that Lourdes was now a part of the Kowalski family and we take care of our own and I never want to see him anywhere near Lourdes or you or this shop ever again." "Honey." "Thank you." "You're the best." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Hey, I got-- oh, whoa, okay." "Guys, not in front of the kids." "Just go put that in the back." " Gladly." " Give us a minute." " Okay." " For heaven's sake." "Has she got timing or what?" "♪ ♪" "Oh, I know." "I saw Brody's here." "No, I was talking about your eldest." "Oh, yes, isn't that wonderful?" "It's so nice to see him having fun." "The divorce was so hard on Donnie." "I just want him to be happy." "He looks pretty happy right now." "Family and friends." "I'd like to propose a toast to the love of my life." "To my sexy, tough, stubborn, beautiful wife Sheila..." "Who 15 years ago decided to start her own home cake business." "And look where she is today." "I am so very, very proud of you." "Thank you." "To Sheila." "To Sheila." " Hey!" " Congratulations." "Couldn't have done it without you boys and all your tasting." " Congratulations." " Thank you, baby." "Thank you." "Oh, mwah." "So dad told me about Lourdes' boyfriend." "It's her ex-boyfriend." "And your father has a big mouth." "Are you okay?" "It was a little scary." "Okay, it was a lot scary." "He called me a crazy bitch." "That's ridiculous." "You're not crazy." "You know, in a weird way, I was." "And in a way it's good to know that that crazy bitch is in there when I need her." "== sync, corrected by elderman =="
