Maggie,
these are great.
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 ***.
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.
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,
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 *** 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 ***.
- 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 ***.
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 ***.
Okay, last one.
Sarah Thompson.
That's Wade's mother.
Yeah, I know
I'm grasping at straws.
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 PB&J
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 ***.
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.
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.
Reggie would have been
at the Academy
at the exact same time.
Here we go.
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.
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 *** 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 ***.
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 ***
is in there when I need her.
