"[groans] [sirens wailing]" "[guns cock] [indistinct chatter]" "Okay, so wait, Al quitting, right, that's part of a plan too?" "Internal Affairs wasn't gonna let a cop investigate." "I can't believe you didn't tell us, Carrie." "Ah, I'm sorry." "I didn't want to get you guys in any deeper than you needed to be, that's all." "Excuse me for a second." "This is huge." "We've got Tendler dead to rights on the murder." "And with all the contraband in there, ought to keep us busy for months, looking for new cases against him and his partners." "All worked out, then, huh?" "Where's Burns?" "I'd like to talk to him about his vigilante act." "Oh, come on." "You can't be serious." "You're still gunning for him?" "Actually, I wanted to see if he wanted this back." "You mind if I give him this?" "It was really nice working with you, Detective Wells." "I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I'm definitely hoping our paths never cross again." "Oh, that's fine by me, but if you ever want a friend in Internal Affairs, you know where I am." "Take care." "Thank you." "[indistinct chatter]" "They're just processing you out." "Should be a couple of minutes." "Thank you." "And thank everyone for not giving up on me." "You can tell them yourself tomorrow at the office." "IA knows I framed Tendler." "How'd they find out?" "I told them." "When they came to tell me about Tendler and to release me," "I just told them." "But I left you out of it." "It ends here with me where it started." "That's it." "I'm tired, Al." "I've been living with this every day since I did it." "So have I." " You feel guilty?" " Oh, hell, yeah." "Well, you should." "You screwed up." "You listened to me." "You want to balance your books with the universe?" "Just stay a cop." "[classic rock music]" "♪ Mm ♪" "♪ ♪" "Hey."

"What are you going to do with that?" "I don't know." "Do you remember what you said to me when you asked me to come back and be a cop again?" "You're the one with the memory." "I said that this memory of mine..." "This gift, this curse, whatever it is..." "Made it impossible for me to do this job and keep my sanity." "I said that I couldn't do it, and you said..." "That you're a cop, whether you like it or not." "And so are you." "You help a lot of people, Al." "Besides, you don't have a choice." "You have to come back." "Oh, really?" "How do you figure?"
