"Previously on "Shades of Blue"..." "I always wanted to be a good cop, but there's no straight line to that." "There's a rat on my team!" "Wozniak's convinced that Saperstein's the mole." "I got a pretty good idea how that ends." "If I hadn't agreed to be an informant... if I would've just gone to Wozniak right after you arrested me..." "You'd be in jail... or dead." "I really am who you think I am." "I'm also someone that you'd swear I'm not." "Tell me the whole truth, or I shoot you right here." "What the hell is wrong with you?" "You know me!" " Who is she?" " She's an escort." "She says he calls her Harlee." " I need some information." " What do you hope I know?" "Are you offering to bankroll a fresh start?" "I can get it, but that has to happen away from me and Cristina." "Miguel is a calculating, unforgiving monster." "I lied to you about him being your father, but I was just trying to keep you safe." "I always told myself that the end would justify the means." "We're really gonna steal $12 million of confiscated drug money?" "How do you stop the pain?" "What now?" "But now that I'm at the end," "I can't justify anything." "What's Aunt Gemma doing here?" "You're gonna be staying with her for a while." "What?" "Icutadeal." "I'm turning myself in for the crew." "I cut the same deal, Harlee." " You can't do this." " It was me all along." "I was the mole." "It happened so slowly, I didn't realize." "What, now we're gonna add breaking and entering to your rap sheet?" "I was invited, Officer." "Got my own key." "I told you to stay away from her." " She's almost a grown woman." " She can decide for herself." "Do you really think you can pay me to slink away" " and wash away your sins..." " I won't let you." "Ten years!" "Ten years you have dictated how I live my life." "Now I dictate how you live yours." "I know you." "I'm the only one who really knows you." "You're gonna take everything I give you, and you're gonna act like you like it, and you're gonna beg for more." "And I'm not just gonna punish you." "I'm gonna punish..." "That precious little girl of ours." "No need to cry." "Daddy's home." "Cristina." "Hi, baby." "Hello?" "All right, time to go." "Detective Matt Wozniak delivers himself to the FBI." "Come on, let's go." "Yeah, he wears martyrdom pretty well for a dirty cop." "I have to remove your badge now." "You're light, Lieutenant." "You promised me all $12 million of that stolen DEA money." "Might be missing a finder's fee." "Sorry, Sap." "You're gonna have to cover for me one more time." "NYPD!" "What took you so long?" "Some criminals wear masks, some wear badges, and some, in the public trust, do it with a wave and a smile." "What is it you want?" "If you can't get me the mastermind behind this heist," "I'm looking at exactly what I want." "You gonna dress up prostitutes to look like me too?" "You might have a hard time." "I have a very specific look." "Lieutenant, what hurts more, being in those chains or knowing who it was who put you there?" "The chains are temporary." "Pretty thick case file that says otherwise." "Then call the NYPD." "Make the announcement." "You have the money." "You have your arrest." "Case closed." " I could do that..." " or..." "Or you could recognize that I usually lead this dance." "I'm not in a holding cell, and I haven't heard my rights." "So I'm gonna ask you again." "What is it you want?" "I could use a dirty cop." "Did you bring the chisel?" "Here you go." "You don't have to stay for this." " Hello?" " Dad?" "I can't add anything more to what Captain McManus said." "The perpetrators of this armored car heist" " are still at large." " Councilwoman Ayres, do you believe they're still in the city?" "Mm, $12-million payday..." "I'm guessing an island somewhere." "But that will not stop us from trying to find them." " Whoa, hold on." " Sorry, folks, but I haven't worn a badge in about three years." "Since when do we hold press conferences on cases with no arrests or suspect information?" "Since Julia decided to run for mayor as a "tough on crime" candidate." "She never did have the best timing." "Well, just be grateful about the no suspect information part." "Councilwoman, is your presence here a mayoral campaign appearance or a favor to the NYPD?" "I just like spending quality time with all you people." "You don't have to kick the door off the hinges, Harlee." "I'm always happy to see you." "I want to see Wozniak now." "Haven't even had my coffee yet." "Fix you a cup?" "Where is he?" "You already know the answer to that one." "Downtown off-site somewhere?" "He's in federal custody." " All right, well, get dressed." " Take me to him." "I can't do that, and you know that." "Look, you made your choices." "He did too." "Wozniak's on his own now." "Look, this is a man with a family and a job." "You can't just bury him in a hole somewhere without an explanation." "Harlee... this isn't some kind of black bag operation." "Other than a little sleep deprivation, your mentor is completely safe physically." "Though that, uh, elevated ego is prohibiting him from comprehending his predicament." "Come on." "What's that?" "This your malpractice confession for the Civil War surgery you did on my shoulder?" "Thought you were on self-appointed desk duty." "Sitting gets me closer to the ground for when I got to pass out." "If it's that bad, go home." "You were shot too, you know, so don't put it all on me." "Woz wanted me to make an appearance." "It'd be nice if he made an appearance." "Harlee, have you heard from Woz?" "I tried him three times today." "He's probably going hard after Donnie and the heist money." "It's almost 4:00." " Is anybody else worried?" " Yeah, for Donnie Pomp." "I don't care if you're Internal Affairs or the pope." "You double-cross Woz, that's a death wish." " Wozniak." " Don't ruin my day." "That didn't take long." "You comfortable?" "What happened?" "I've been asking myself the same question." "Let's go." "Woz." "Woz." "Woz, wait." " Where are we going?" " For a ride." "What happened with Stahl?" "You know, when I didn't hear from you this morning," "I thought..." "You were free of it all?" "I thought maybe..." "I really lost you." "That was a brave thing you did." "It was crazy... but brave." "I said good-bye to Cristina." "You know, I sent her to my sister's." "I was turning myself in." "You know that, right?" "What did Stahl say when you brought up the prostitute?" "That was a great tip, Harlee." "He rolled right over." "Then why did they let you go?" "Who said they let me go?" "What is this place?" "Hand me my kit." "What did you agree to do?" "Backseat." "I made a mistake of not coming to you as soon as the Feds arrested me." "I made a mistake thinking I could fix this mess on my own, that I could string the Feds along and keep everything in flux until I could figure a way out for everyone... for me, for you, for the crew, and Cristina." "But I couldn't." "I..." "It only got worse." "Whatever... this thing is that you have to handle, you don't have to do it by yourself." "We'll figure it out... together." "Okay, what's my tell?" "What is this thing that I do that has you so sure that I'm a Fed mole that you would kill me?" "You push your hair behind your ear." "This is a joke, right?" "I've been pushing my hair behind my ear since kindergarten." "I also lick my lips, bite my nails." " Don't!" " Don't... don't twist this around." " Don't." " There's nothing to twist." "What the hell is wrong with you?" "You know me." " You lied to me." " You lied to me again!" "It kills me that somebody's trying to hurt you." "You wore a wire." "A wire!" "I didn't know what else to do." "Dispatch, this is Tango one-zero-one requesting backup for a 10-34." "Assault in progress at 952 Vermont." "Pursuing suspect." "Victim is down." "Woz, listen to me." "I'm so sorry." "I'm sorry." "Woz!" "What are you doing?" "Who is this?" "I don't know." "Someone attacked him and went through that door." "And did we see that?" " No." " There's blood on the handle." "And you're sure you want to walk through it?" "You made that choice for me." "Woz, wait." " Just tell me what this is." " Because nothing is for free." "Hey, police." "Out." "A mobster named Bianchi closes the restaurant every Monday for a private dinner." "Michael Bianchi?" "He's not just some mobster." "He runs Brooklyn." "Woz, this is a world of hurt for all of us." " I'll hold him." " You frisk him." "Is this what you need?" "This will prove my loyalty?" "Your door." "NYPD!" " Police!" " Ah, stop right there." " Hands up!" " Put your hands where I can see'em." "Hands up!" "Get 'em up." "Up!" "Big boy, get up." "How's the capellini?" " Oh, it's excellent." " Can I help you?" "You're under arrest, Michael." " You ought to know what to do." " Against the wall now." "Now!" "You spilled the Giacomo Conterno Monfortino." "I have killed people for less." "Yeah, you must be a big hit with the waiters." "What's the beef with the guy outside?" "You weren't gonna call paramedics?" " Come again?" " Shut up!" "Interesting dining utensil." "Smooth plant, sweetheart." "Bet you say that to all the ladies." "Not too late to grab a beer and play nice." "Ha-ha." "Your date gets wine." "I get beer." "I see where I stand." "Why'd you come calling?" "Little out of your trailer park, aren't you?" "My dad used to say, "Beat your kid every day." "If you don't know the reason why, they will."" "So you're settling a score?" "I'm providing a service." "Wow." "Must be a serious debt, considering the fuse you're lighting." "Everybody's got to pay up their debt eventually." "Character is how you face it." "Well, this character doesn't take a bad charge." "I don't do time for the deeds I actually do." "A frame job's never gonna stick." "Consider it a moment of reflection." "Oh." "Think of a place where you feel safe, whole." "Someday that place will be violated, and when you're lying on your back, bleeding out, you can reflect on why you chose not to get that beer." "Ooh." "I drink whiskey." "Isn't your desk down the hall in the cubicle outside?" "Well, I'm thinking of trading it in for something with a view." "Careful." "Pride comes before the fall." "Wozniak just took Bianchi into custody." "Does he know what he's getting himself into?" "Do we want him to?" "Bianchi's lawyer just gave me a dissertation on the Fourth Amendment and probable cause." " We had probable cause." " Follow the blood trail." "A highly suspicious blood trail." "I'm gonna pretend I don't know what you mean by that." "We need to notify the DEA's office before you arrest a high-profile Mafia figure." " We could have coordinated this." " What can I say?" "Bad guys don't keep bankers' hours." "Organized crime always brings jurisdictional issues with the U.S. Attorney." "Yeah, Feds and lawyers, two people I'm desperate to please." "Was he expecting a thank-you card?" "Today's full of surprises." "Yeah, like a must-win aggravated assault charge." "Perform or perish." "We perished last time." "A few years ago, Bianchi lost a bet to one of his soldiers." "Yeah, instead of paying up, he beat him to death." "Also beat the charge." "I've heard the bedtime story." "Did you hear the U.S. Attorney had him on motive, opportunity, and DNA on the weapon?" "Then why isn't he doing life upstate?" "Hurricane Sandy." "The weapon was lost in the flooding." "Grand jury didn't indict." "They haven't been able to lay a glove on him since." "So tell me, is this charge solid?" " Barring a natural disaster?" " You know what I'm asking." "He won't walk away from this one." "Uh, speaking of walking away," "I decided not to make it so easy for you." "Did you just transition from murder to romance?" "Adeptly, I thought." "Well, points for degree of difficulty." "I think I can help with your Miguel problem." "Hey, I know you'd never ask for help..." "It's not a problem anymore, all right?" "I paid him to leave town." "He's gone." "Until the money runs out." "No." "It's done." "Miguel and the money are both far away right now." "What don't you say we try the cuffs on you tonight, Harlee?" "Hmm, that could cost ya extra." "Come on." "Show me how special I am to you." "Don't you want to frisk me first?" "You like being interrogated?" "Yes, please." "I don't want to go to jail." "I'll do whatever you ask." "Tell me about the other cop that interrogated you." "You talked to the NYPD about me, didn't you, Gina?" "No." " It's okay." " I'm not upset about it." "Not yet." "But I, uh..." "I don't care for liars." "I handle liars for a living." "He threatened me in a hotel lobby." " Speak up, Gina." " I can't hear you." "He knew your name, that you were a client." "And you provided details?" "You shared with him what we do here together?" "How much you pay me." "Mm-hmm." "And?" "The wig." "That you call me Harlee." "That's it." "Did you sign anything?" "Did you make an official statement?" "No, I swear." " Gina." " I swear." "All right." "Appreciate your candor." "Unfortunately, this dirty cop is trying to play me, so I'm gonna need you to disappear." "Not like that, Gina." "I mean from the city." "A new adventure." "Amtrak voucher, enough cash to resettle." "Go to your basement apartment in the Bronx, pack your things, and you start over." "A new beginning." "Agreed?" "I need verbal confirmation, Gina." " Yes, yes." " Agreed." "Okay, good." "Now let's get started." "What's your name?" "Harlee." "All right, well, try Gail Baker's office." "Tell her that Harlee Santos needs to speak to her right now." "You can direct any of your immediate concerns to our community relations department." "This is a public safety issue." " Call the NYPD." " I am the NYPD." "We got a stalker, Ben?" "She miss being handled?" "What are you, a sadist?" "Girls usually get the hint after their first six unanswered messages." "You played Wozniak a copy of my wire?" "You handed him a recording of it?" "It's not yet available on iTunes." "You promised to protect me." "I did when you were my asset." "But you graduated, didn't you?" "Congratulations." "Oh, so this is spite?" "No, this is a high-level conspiracy case, and you played your part." "Take a bow." "Go home." "I can't go home, not with you putting me in Wozniak's crosshairs." "You'd rather see him in jail?" "He had forgiven me." "Every asset profiles differently... different triggers, different weaknesses." "So what, I'm collateral damage?" "I am simply managing my new asset." " No." " You're dragging me back in." "Oh, yeah, 'cause it was such a blast the first time around." "So if it's not about me, then why?" "Why do you need Wozniak?" "You arrested me to get Wozniak to plant evidence for you." "I could've done that myself without tearing us apart." "Harlee, if I only needed a dirty cop," "I'd put a doughnut on a hook." "What I need is an insider, a personal connection." "The Mafia isn't your target." "Gold star, Detective." "Then who is?" "Well, that's not fair." "Hey!" "The bad guys never stop for paperwork." "Well, it's no fun if I don't give 'em a head start." "Mm, like the, uh, head start you gave the crew to my press conference?" "I'm touched by the support, Woz." "I didn't want to steal your spotlight with my rugged good looks." " Oh." " Very nice." "12 years of making me look good, and I'm wedged behind the desk." "If you poll above 20%, I'll put your poster up." "Yeah?" "Get ready to bust out some tacks." "If you ever get tired of kissing babies," "I might be willing to take you back." "Really?" "Same lopsided desk and everything?" "We had fun on that desk." "But city hall has better coffee." "Yeah, but I got better booze." "Hence the fun on the desk." "Seriously..." "I could use someone I can trust." "I didn't need Wozniak to shake down the Mafia, Harlee." "What I need him for is to give me the person allowing them to operate." "Wozniak agreed to give me whomever intervenes on Bianchi's behalf." "Does he know who this person is?" "I don't know; it's a big city, and he didn't think to carve out exclusions." "Wozniak will plant evidence on a criminal, but he won't inform on a stranger, much less someone he cares about." " Why not?" " You did." "God, I do miss that feeling, though... right before you kick in a door, not sure what's on the other side." " Nothing like it." " Yep." "So what's the occasion?" "You here for another photo op by the cage?" " A favor..." " the off-the-books kind." "Have you signed the file on Bianchi?" "I haven't gotten through the "A" s yet." "Maybe you could skip ahead?" "Assault and battery." "The weapon was found at the scene." "There's blood." "There's prints." "Woz, you really ought to give me a heads-up about this stuff." "Jump on the scanner." "You know, one of the things you taught me was to pick my battles." "So now let me help you pick yours." "No, the crew's immunity was a condition of Wozniak's surrender." "New deal, new conditions." "Don't worry, though." "You're still clear for now." "How close is he to this person?" "Close enough that they'll never suspect." "This was your plan all along?" "You're holding Pandora's box, Woz, and I am trying to keep it closed." "Is that the one with the three bears?" "If you were to drop the charges..." "Jules, it's done." "I thought you were on the "A" s." "My hands are more tied than his." "Trust me." "It's... it's been less than 24 hours." "He... he hasn't been transferred to Central Booking..." "Jules, listen to me." "I can't do it." "Okay." "It's no problem." "I, um..." "I better get going and, uh, find some babies to kiss or something." "Home safe." "Safe tomorrow." "Son of a bitch." "I know I made you worry." "I didn't mean to scare you." "You were scared too, Mom, like I've..." "like I've never seen you before." "And you were looking at me like... like it really might be the last time you saw my face." " Sweetheart..." " It felt like good-bye." "And not the "see you tomorrow" kind." "What happened?" "I thought I might be in trouble... the worst kind." "And I wanted you with Gemma because I needed to know that you were safe." "You're a cop." "What could you have possibly done that would get you arrested?" "It was about money." "Me, Woz, and the crew, we come across a lot of it every day... money criminals made doing bad things to good people." "What, you stole some?" "Yes, I did." "I mean we did." "It was for Miguel." "I knew that if I'd pay him, he'd go away." "So I took money from bad people to get a bad person out of our lives." "Miguel?" "Mi'jo?" "Are you home?" "Miguel?" "Corazón?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello!" "You paid him to go away?" "I did it for us... for you." "And you knew he'd take it." "I know who he is... who he really is." "He didn't even care enough to say good-bye." "This is on me, baby, okay?" "I need you safe... always." "And you deserved a better father." "You know, that's my fault, my choices." "And I'm sorry." "I mean, you deserve somebody better than me." "Mom, no." " Yes." " No." "I don't even know how two people like us even made someone as wonderful as you." "You're a miracle." "Look, I am who I am because of you." " You have to know that." " No." "What I know is that I let you down, that every time I had a real choice," "I chose wrong." "And not because I didn't know any better but because I didn't trust where the right road would take us." "But from now on, I'm taking the right road, no matter how hard it is, no matter where it takes us." "Didn't have time to think." "The new stylist talked me into it." "I haven't worn my hair this short since I was your age." "It looks great, Linda." " Gives your face a whole new feel. " " Woz will love it, I'm sure." " He won't even notice." "I just felt like it was time for a change." "Hey, Cristina, where's your mom?" "Well, you're her boss." " You know Harlee." " She likes to make an entrance." "She wasn't home when you left?" "I don't know." "She just reminded me about Friday dinner." "I came straight from practice." "Did she mention where she'd be coming from?" "Matt, this has to simmer for at least a half hour." "I'm sure she'll be fine." "Are you okay?" "You don't seem as chipper as usual." "I'm just tired, I guess." "_" "_" "Is that your mom, hon?" "Trying to get out of setting the table?" "Woz... come inside." "Where were you?" "I was stuck in traffic on Bushwick." "There was, uh, construction on Myrtle." " On Myrtle." " Yeah, I heard." "Traffic..." "too obvious a lie to be a lie." "At least that's what I assume." "It's the truth." "People who have affairs get stuck in traffic." "Late for school, late for work..." "there's always traffic." "It's New York." "I'm not lying." "Well, here's a chance to keep your streak alive." "Why aren't you looking at me?" "Did you know?" "Know what?" " Less convincing." " I'll ask again." "Did you know?" "You can ask as many times as you want." "If I don't know what the question is," "I can't answer it." "Stahl's real target." "It's Julia." " Julia who?" " Our Julia." "Julia Ayres." "I swear to God, Harlee," " if you know and you're not..." " I-I didn't know." "It..." "Are you sure?" "Julia?" "I thought you were holding the NYPD's leash." "Wozniak isn't the taking-orders type." "So this is what, a shakedown?" "Are these two cops of yours entrepreneurs?" "I'd call it a mistake." "This deal you made, does it include the crew's immunity?" "Are they on the hook for this?" "Do you two think you can play me?" "I didn't know anything about Julia." "Do you think I could ever be a rat like you?" "I am not in league with Stahl." "He... he ruined my life." "I hate him." "You hate him like you love me... when it's convenient." "Woz... please." "You have to believe me." "That night at the pier, where did you hide it?" "The wire, where did you hide it?" "My daughter's inside." "Harlee, where was it?" "This is not the time or the place." "God!" "Tell me." "Where was it?" "On my back." "You're a smart girl." "You undress." "You shame me." "You make me doubt what I knew I knew." "They said they would take Cristina away from me." "They said they would put me in jail." "You let me push Saperstein off a building." "No, I tried to stop you!" "I killed him!" "I killed him to protect you!" "Stop twisting things around." "You killed Saperstein because you were out of control and paranoid." "I did what I did to protect my daughter." " Harlee..." " we could've found a way." "I can make your troubles go away, just like I did last time." "Last time, I was guilty." "Should be easier, then, shouldn't it?" "I prefer it never happened." "Wozniak and I go way back." "He stepped over a line, and I can make him step in the other direction." "Every smile, every conversation, you looked me in the eyes while you were twisting the knife in my back." "You're a liar, you're a coward, and you're a rat." "You shook my hand, and you promised me you would handle the department if I supported your ambitions." "In my world, that kind of negligence is just not tolerated." "Now, him, he allowed two corrupt cops to walk right up to me and plant a weapon." "Is that meant to impress me?" "I just need to know... that I have your attention." "This is exactly why Stahl gave you the recording... to divide us." "Don't let him." "If we just stick together in this..." "I will never trust you again... ever." "I'll do anything for Julia." "I will not let her go down." "Wozniak didn't do this alone." "Something or someone gave him good reason." "That's the threat you need to eliminate."
