Ironside (2013) s01e09 Episode Script
Hidden Agenda
Building's gonna be Bellamy university's new jewish student center.
Joint terrorism task force Called for a full department rollout.
- Bet they were hoping you'd leave me at home.
Is the bomb live? - Experts say yes.
- Why not just hit it with a water cannon? - Placement's bad only partially visible.
No guarantee of a direct hit.
Jonas has to go at it manually.
That's our hero.
Dog got away, ran up under the car.
Guy bent down to drag him out and saw the cell phone wired up.
He dialed 911.
Good news keeps coming.
Jonas says the trigger under the jeep is booby-trapped.
Fail safe is wired into the engine.
He's gonna pop the hood, try to find it.
- Jeep's owner, derek valencia he's got priors for robbery, Drug possession, and burglary.
- Why'd you tow me? I was parked legal on the grand concourse.
- With a bomb? - what? Nobody got a reason to blow me up.
When'd you park it? - Thursday morning.
- Thursday? - Okay, look, I've been with a woman.
I can't say more without injuring innocent parties.
Chivalry prevents me from saying anything more.
Sarah lockwood, 432 east 148th street, 646-555-0127.
Don't call after 5:00, 'cause her husband finds out, I'm evicted.
- Hand him over to the jttf guys.
Hand me off? For the heart wanting what it wants? - Any way he could have driven down from the bronx With the bomb? - Not a chance.
Okay.
- Let's see what you got for me here, huh? Okay, okay.
Now What the All right.
Good for me.
We do have a device.
Repeat we do have a device.
- Hate crimes task force likes this For a pattern they've been investigating.
First, there's graffiti on a synagogue wall, Then there was a rock tied up in a flag Thrown through a window at the jewish museum.
And number three was arson At the anti-defamation league office.
- Pro-palestinian sentiments, jewish targets Scope of crimes escalate, the numbers go down.
Let's look for a flag.
- I found the secondary initiation device.
Got the lead wire isolated.
Moving in to disconnect now.
- There's no flag on the outside of the jewish student center.
It's a calling card.
They'll want it in one piece after the building went down.
Okay.
Right there Parapet.
See if aviation has a visual.
Once we've defused, Joint terrorism task force is taking point.
- Selected crimes is just here to offer support, as requested.
- Disconnecting the second wire now.
We spotted a flag.
It could match the hate crimes' pattern.
Waiting on an image from a better viewpoint.
oh.
Ah.
- If two is a bomb, what the hell is one gonna be? - We'll do a high-profile target alert Israeli consulates, american jewish congress offices, Half a dozen other possibles.
It feels too linear.
Graffiti to broken window to fire to bomb.
The incidents are getting bigger.
But the targets aren't.
The bomber's profile is more avenger than slayer.
He's making a statement and getting angrier, But not angry enough to kill for his cause.
We got a small problem here.
What do you have? - I got two lead wires wrapped around each other, One frayed.
I think I can get 'em.
- Negative, jonas.
Step away from the vehicle.
Just give me one minute.
- Jonas, clear that vehicle now! âa - Anybody hear if jonas had a family yet? - He was married, no kids.
Is no kids better or worse? - We have teams deployed at the likely remaining targets.
Meantime, we're rolling out on our terror watch hot list.
- Terrorists don't start throwing rocks through windows.
- We're dealing with an organized enemy Who's ramping up the violence.
He or they want headlines.
That's how we catch them.
- Bomber wasn't expecting to kill a cop today.
He won't want headlines, just a hole to hide in.
But you go ahead, you look for your organized enemy.
I'll look for the cop killer.
- Any reason you picked this moment to stir the pot? You see a spoon in my hand? - That's not what you're stirring with.
so where do we start? - Jewish student center building is part of the university.
Start with people who knew that.
- This is the university's official list Of problem children, And this is my list.
Chronic run-ins with security, suspected drug abuse, Bad expulsions still living in the city.
You got your own list? - Back in the 2-7, I did the same thing.
Kept track of the neighborhood humps, Knew where to look when something went wrong.
Once a cop, right? - Let's cut the substance abusers.
No one with a routine jones Has steady enough hands to build that bomb.
- I'll drop the discons and domestics too.
Keep the disorderlies.
Our guy might be a chest-thumper.
I'll take those 17 to start.
Did you say burke? Your dad michael burke worked for the 5-5 squad? - Yeah, his last couple years on the job.
I see the resemblance.
We crossed paths before I made lieutenant.
He might not remember, but say "hey," from stu white.
Your dad was a cop's cop.
- Yeah, sure thing.
- These tags in the jewish student center? - "bully" in arabic.
They've got this ongoing feud With the alliance of muslim students.
We used to chase kids out of there constantly Before we got the boot.
"got the boot"? J.
S.
C.
Switched from campus To private security a few weeks back.
You get what you pay for.
- I bet they're rethinking that decision right about now.
Give me the breakdown Of all campus burglaries the last six months.
Our bomber might have been inside that building before.
- Got another one at the student health center.
May couple of desktop computers taken.
What? - You got something on your face.
- I do? What, food? No, like like some prepubescent hair hiding out On a grown man's chin.

- Take out pinches for grand larceny.
Our guy likes low-risk targets.
Keep all majors tied to the med library.
Keep employees or interns from student health.
Ah, bingo.
Now, who's he? - Scott dolan, chemistry major, works in the health center lab, Writes for the bellamy press.
- Okay.
Check for assault charges, Probably tied to protests, burglary arrests.
- Looks like he punched a kid at a "free palestine" rally, Couple of burglary charges tied to suspected vandalism, But none of these collars went the distance.
Residence is stacy hall at bellamy.
Scott's not here.
He's at work.
- At the lab? yeah.
Is everything chill? - Chill? - I mean, you guys are cops.
So what'd he do? Not that I think scott did anything.
Scott's, uh - Cool.
- Yeah, he's at the lab.
So can I go? Okay.
Got to love The post-wake-and-bake witness interview.
- Dolan's not here.
Roommate says he's a work.
- Everyone just keep doing what you're doing.
- You know, if you got somewhere else to be, We got this handled.
- Wouldn't want to drag security along either if it was me.
School policy.
Got to escort nypd anytime you're on campus property.
- Scott dolan? - Over here.
He was running hematocrit tests.
Maybe he finished.
- Well, he's not done for the day.
- Coffee break? Grabbing a smoke? I don't know.
Where is he? Come on, guys.
Hey, at yale, we partied in the boiler room In the comm lecture hall.
You guys go where? No takers? All right, first one to answer Doesn't get their drunk instagram photos Sent to mom and dad Well, at least not by me.
So how secure is this place? - We keep the shelter locked, do periodic door checks.
I got higher priorities than an empty room.
Maybe not so empty? Still intact, no pick marks.
Same as the jewish student center locks.
He's got another bomb! - We're the police, all right? Put the phone down.
- What is this? - Put the phone down right now.
- You can't type that keypad faster than we can shoot.
Go, go.
Go.
- Up against the chair, right now.
Hands behind your back.
We got him.
We caught the bomber.
Let's take a walk.
- Student health center lab tech.
Chemistry major.
- Muslim.
That was next, right? - Spent the last two summers In saudi arabia studying at king saud university.
That was next.
- When I converted, They told me that just being muslim was a crime to some.
- Threw down your martyr card a little early, didn't you? - How do you not see how unfair this kind of profiling is? You're a black man in a wheelchair.
Half of this department looks at you, and they see Affirmative action at work.
The rest, see half a cop.
- Is that supposed to get me on your side or get you smacked? You blew up that building thinking it was empty.
That dead cop, that was bad luck.
"life without parole" bad luck.
- Somebody put those things in my locker.
Jake texted me - your roommate? - Yes, jake.
Jake patterson.
He he texted me and told me that security was coming To bust our hangout, so I went down to get my stuff.
- By "stuff," meaning the bombs? - Those weren't mine! The only thing that I had in there were pamphlets To hand out explaining That muslims are bound to overcome hatred, Not perpetuate it.
I am just trying to spread the truth Like those radicals Patrick henry or martin luther king.
- Hey, do not compare yourself to dr.
King Not after that.
Gary? - Hey, bob.
Hey.
Uh I was wondering, uh You got a copy of the notes from the bruhaus case? What? - I got court next week.
I can't find mine.
Can you help me out? - Okay.
- Yeah? Okay.
- That's all? - Yeah, yeah, what else? Yeah, that's on me, penny.
I told him I'd buzz you, and I passed out myself.
Yes.
No, he's he's fine.
He already left for work.
Well, phone must be dead.
- Okay.
All right.
You forgot to call her last night.
- Man, I'm so sorry, and I know I keep saying that - That's fine.
Drink up.
Come on, we got to be in court in 30 minutes.
It's not fine, man.
Look, you shouldn't have to make excuses to my wife 'cause I'm just too damn drunk to talk to her.
Bob, I've been thinking about Bob? - Hmm? - I think I got a problem, man.
- You hit it hard last night.
It happens.
All right, penny will forgive you, After one or two nights on the couch.
I'm rolling out in five minutes.
Let's roll.
- My phone got stolen two days ago.
- Yeah? From where? - Uh, not really sure.
Just kind of having one of those weeks, you know? Yeah, the subtle aromas Of skunk weed and binaca do tell a story.
- Are you guys friends or just roommates? - We're friends.
Why? Jock and the muslim radical Kind of the odd couple, you know? - Dude, is that how they rolled back in, what, '04? All tribal? - Okay, that wasn't that long ago.
- Did you guys even have facebook back then? - We had myspace, and we liked it.
You and scott? - Yeah, we were on the tennis team together until he quit.
Felt guilty taking time from everything that pisses him off.
- Did you notice anything else change about him? - Look, dude, you're putting me in a bad position.
A cop died.
You don't even want to imagine The bad positions we can put you in.
- Scott took the lab job so he wouldn't have to take money From his parents anymore.
They're not so hot on the whole muslim thing, you know? But he's had a lot of cash lately.
I thought maybe he was dealing drugs.
You thought? Like, maybe you bought some from him? - No, you guys got the wrong idea about me.
okay, but, no, I didn't.
Scott came home with a bag of prepaid cell phones.
Dealers use those, right? To do business? - Not just dealers.
- Found a receipt for four prepaid burner phones.
We tossed the dorm room, but didn't find anything.
We're gonna go back to the fallout shelter, See if we missed something.
- Call the bomb squad out there for insurance.
Where's the other bomb? - What are you talking about? - You bought four phones.
Two in your locker.
The third blew the car At the jewish student center.
Now, one body on you is enough.
Let us get to this other bomb.
Nothing I say even matters.
I won't be the first follower Of allah to be martyred for his belief.
- Joint terrorism task force is driving across The brooklyn bridge as we speak.
You're about to become a headline.
Now, maybe someone made you plant these bombs.
Maybe someone you met in saudi arabia threatened you, Threatened your family, but I'm about the only person interested In listening right now.
- That's exactly What you'd say if you had put those things in my locker.
Sergeant, the qur'an asks, "do the people think that they will be left to say, 'we believe,' and they will not be tried?" I'm a pawn in your game A traitor, the convenient terrorist.
You can lie to the world about me.
That's fine.
But you can't lie to me, 'cause I know the truth.
Over here! - The bomb's at scott's workstation.
Good work hunting it down.
No, it was white.
Came up empty at the shelter.
His idea to search the lab.
- Good thing the health center's open, Full of patients.
Lot of potential casualties.
- Certain disaster was avoided here today.
We're getting a picture now.
The bomb's a dud.
- Fuse is blown, circuit's incomplete.
No booby traps.
Device is inactive.
How'd you know? - Kid's not the bomber.
He is.
They schedule jonas's funeral? I'd like to be there.
- There'd be a lot more funerals If you hadn't sent us back to that lab.
It was a good hunch.
Well, you know how it is.
Spend enough time locking horns with the same perp, You start to see how they think.
- You were ahead of us the whole time, weren't you? Helped shave down a suspect list, Pointed me at the break-ins.
- I had some insight, but it was a team effort.
- Yeah, hell of a bonus, though The bomber being a kid who won't shut up About campus security crossing lines, Racial profiling.
Student newspaper I read his articles.
- Classic chip-on-the-shoulder crybaby.
Is that your read? Because me I read him as smart, Too smart to leave a trail back to himself, To his major, to his job, Too smart to set a bomb that was never gonna go off.
That's really nice.
Maybe he wanted to get caught.
It's a pathology with these types.
- So I hear you're up for a promotion.
Nice.
And I figure the press you get from this Would help seal that deal, huh? - Is that what's under your skin, sergeant, huh? Who gets credit for what? - No, no, no.
It's all on you.
The problem-child list, You know, finding the locker, digging up that last bomb.
- I didn't help you find the locker.
My bad.
- So what's this conversation about, sergeant? - You know, that's the second time you called me sergeant.
Were you one of those lieutenants Who threw around rank when he couldn't earn respect? Jonas's unit is planning his funeral.
You call them for details.
A terrorist gets caught, he goes one of two ways "I'm a hero," or "they made me do it.
" I gave the kid both ways to go, And he keeps saying he's innocent.
- Criminals never say they're innocent.
Buy me more time.
Tell jttf that we're not ready to turn him over.
- Tell them you don't think the radical muslim Bombed the jewish center, the decorated ex-cop did.
- The minute we hand over scott dolan, he's the headlines.
His name is never separated from the bomb, and white wins.
I'm climbing inside his head.
Just let me play it out.
- All right, let me see what I can do.
- My six-year-old keeps his room cleaner than this.
What? I use those for coasters when people come over.
- When's the last time you had people over? Hey, you remember a cop named stuart white? - Tough son of a bitch to forget.
- He said you were a hell of a cop.
- Maybe that's the only thing that zero ever got right.
- Wonder why he'd bring you up if you had nothing good to say.
- You don't tell a guy like white that you know he's wrong.
You let him think he's one up on you.
This way, the whole time, you're up on him.
- Wrong? You mean, like, he was dirty? - I don't know about dirty, but he always had an angle Pad his O.
T.
With shaky collars, Find a way to jump the line on good details.
You looking at him for something? We could use someone willing To loosen their jaw where he's concerned, yeah.
- Try, uh, carlos young, captain in the 9-9.
There was bad blood between the two of those guys.
- Thanks, dad.
Appreciate that.
- You know the rule.
- The badge is who you are, Not something you put on or take off.
- I knew you were mine no matter what your mother said.
all right.
You haven't seen the kids for a while, huh? Why don't you come upstate this weekend? - Yeah, sounds good.
Maybe not this week.
- Well, I could bring everybody down.
Go to the zoo, make a big day of it.
- All right, let's get it on the calendar.
- What else you got on that calendar? I got a lot.
- Go have some coffee at the deli? Email your old partners what a moron Ray kelly is 'cause he wasn't a detective, Then take a nap? I get all the highlights in there? - You sound like your mother.
She was always on me.
You stopped coming home, dad.
- I gave her what she wanted Yard for you, eat-in kitchen for her.
I had a different life to live.
- That life ended eight years ago, dad.
How about trying to find a new one? I'll call you when I got some time, all right? - Captain to captain? - Just on background.
Doesn't leave these four walls.
White was a sergeant.
Woman comes in, says he roughed up her daughter Busting an underage party.
I'm a new lieutenant.
Maybe I'm hiding behind the patrol guide a little.
Maybe it's sixth sense.
I took the complaint.
Then nothing.
No call from ccrb.
No follow-up.
- Any idea what he did to make it go away? - Complainant lives in the precinct.
I see her on the street.
I follow up a little.
She's scared.
Kid's scared.
How'd he come back at you? - How do you know he came back at me? You're painting that picture.
Some mope I've never seen Files a complaint against me for excessive force.
He's got my badge number, car number, Matches the exact time and place when I was alone Running an errand in the 9-5.
White pulled the log books.
Crossed all his "t"s, dotted all his "I"s.
Suspension, modified.
I lost my hearing.
Get busted back down to sergeant.
White gets promoted next test, transfers back to my house, Gives me the worst six months in my career.
You think that son of a bitch Planted a bomb to frame somebody? You think he wouldn't? - Where's the music in this place? Man, you couldn't walk welch hall without hearing Jimmy eat world, the strokes, or ryan adams.
What, do you even listen to music? Of course I listen to music.
- Anything other than the theme to rocky? Jake patterson? Looking for jake? - Yeah.
He been around? Not since yesterday.
Said he had a family emergency.
Wasn't sure when he'd be back.
Family emergency.
Well, that's code for, "hey, I lied to the cops And set up my best friend.
" - Let's hope his credit card's left a trail.
The last charge on jake patterson's account Was a ticket to Philly at 11:00 A.
M.
- Round trip? - One-way, nonrefundable.
Gonna be out that 17 bucks.
- 12 he got the web-only fare.
Patterson, stop! Out of the way! - Stop! Stop! Give me your hands.
Why'd you run, jake? Huh? Huh? - Let me guess.
Grandma doesn't have any insurance, And she needs her medicine.
- Drugs are the least of your worries here.
.
- I'll call my lawyer and let him tell me what to worry about.
- That's option one.
While you're doing that, I'll reach out to your old man.
It's a funny little "small world" story.
I have a cousin who plays squash with him at the union club.
Enough time and money and the right lawyer, Yeah, you'll stay out of jail.
But that corner office you had your eye on In your uncle's firm, got the waterfront views And the long-legged assistant And the expense account lunches at nobu That's your brother's now.
- Oh, would that be chip or biff? Bye-bye, trust fund! So long, tee times in the hamptons.
- Hello, "have you ever committed a felony" box On your retail-job applications.
- If I cooperate, you guys can protect me, right? - Can't protect you if we don't know who from.
Seems to me you're at a bit of a crossroads moment here, jake.
Be the guy who finally did right by his best friend, Bought himself another chance along the way, Or be the scumbag who wrecked his life Being scared of the wrong person? - Stuart white's got security video of me Buying prescriptions off of other students.
He said if I didn't send that text to scott, Tell you guys the story about the phones, That he would ruin my life.
I knew he meant it.
I don't believe it.
This is another trick, another tactic.
Yeah, that's right, scott.
I spent the last 48 hours trying to gaslight you Instead of looking for the real bomber, Because you're that important.
It doesn't make sense.
Jake is my friend, my best friend.
- Well, you're not the judge of character you think you are.
Scott, jttf is coming.
You understand that? They take you, we're done talking.
Why would he do it? Why would white build a bomb? I mean, I wrote those articles, but nobody cared.
I wasn't a threat to him.
- No.
No, you weren't.
What about the jewish student center? - Well, they weren't even his problem anymore.
The jsc hired their own security.
The alliance of muslim students Was thinking of doing the same thing.
You get what you pay for.
Jsc's V.
P.
says white's been a thorn in their side for years, Throwing his weight around, Making 'em jump through hoops for extra patrols.
The move off campus was their chance To finally pull the plug on him.
- Bellamy political union says three more groups Have filed a notice of intent to hire private security.
Jewish student center was a floodgate.
- Less demand for your services, harder to justify your budget.
- White wants to rock jsc, scare everyone back into the fold.
Goes down his enemies list.
Scott dolan is the perfect fall guy.
- I've been going over white's financials, And he's been declaring all of his bellamy income, But he's also been buying Property upstate for the last four years And not carrying any loans.
- There's no way he's buying real estate with his own cash.
- My dad said white used to pad his overtime Back when he was on the job.
- Now he's a boss, he gets other people to pad their timesheets And makes them split it with him and moves it into real estate.
I see a lot of theories.
None of them put him in jail or get scott dolan out.
- Ed? - I'm sorry, bob.
The conversation was way above my pay grade.
I just found out myself.
Sergeant, I-I - Hang tough, kid.
Just tell them the truth All right? You'll be okay.
So, so close.
That whole "he's got another bomb" bit In the fallout shelter It could have been over right there.
My guys cap scott, high fives all around.
- I don't know what road you're going down, But you already lost me.
- Forget about me trying to prove you set the bomb.
Nobody's gonna believe a loudmouth muslim convert And his druggie roommate.
hell, they don't believe me.
- Well, then I guess if I had done something, Then, yeah, I'd be walking away clean.
No, no, no.
I said you were close.
See, your problem is I know what you did, And you and me we're a lot alike.
If we can't win fair, we fight dirty.
See, that there, that's a love note to the I.
R.
S Details about your tax record, undeclared incomes, Real estate that you shouldn't have been able to pay for.
So, just in case uncle sam drops the ball, We got david ritter flying in from gainesville as we speak.
David ritter? - 15 when you put him in the hospital.
He's refiling his abuse-of-force case against you.
Now, ask me why? No? Okay, I'll tell you anyway.
I told him where you were hiding your assets, You know, for the civil-rights lawsuit.
You think I don't know you? Jailbird daddy, Team of misfit cops, drunk partner.
I know who you are.
I don't go down to you.
- I'm gonna go through every collar you ever made.
Every civilian complaint And I.
A.
B.
Investigation you got squashed, I'm gonna open it back up again.
At the very least, your pension is in jeopardy.
Your bellamy promotion is dead.
Every time you try to go get a job, Your reputation is gonna beat you there.
When I get done with you, you're gonna wish I'd hung The cop killing on you, Because it would have stopped there.
- You know, there's obsession, then there's harassment.
I'm a big believer in both.
The kid is innocent.
- It won't matter, not to jttf.
- So what, then, this is just payback? Italian street justice? - This is the last of white's arrest files.
They go all the way back to '78.
I got the departmental mail while I was at it.
Start with drug arrests.
Check the vouchers against the reports.
If he was a gram off, Maybe we can make a case he was skimming.
- "public morals unit"? This must be for holly.
- Where the hell has that envelope been? They changed that unit to vice almost 15 years ago.
Phipps! Don't move.
This is captain rollins.
I need E.
S.
U.
and a bomb squad at selected crimes now.
Hey, let me give you some advice, okay? Your boss is gonna take a fall for messing with me.
You do not want to get caught in the middle of this.
Hey, where's my miranda, huh? Huh? What are the charges? You're supposed to say something! What kind of - Cuff him to the chair, then you and dellea get out of here.
- Sarge? - Now.
- It's all right.
I won't hold it against you.
- Trucks outside, evacuated building, This little dog-and-pony show What, I'm supposed to think this is a bomb or something? This is on me.
I pushed you to make a mistake, But I read you all wrong.
Ambition, anger I understand these things.
I use 'em.
But sending me a bomb? This is reckless, crazy.
Are you crazy Flat-out unhinged? - I don't buy any of this.
What, you're expecting me to freak out, confess to something? - I don't know what the hell you're gonna do.
Yeah, well, keep talking.
It's kind of funny, really, watching you flail.
- We're clear for booby traps now.
I'm going in.
- Which wire? - Come again? This mope, this cop killer, Has got jonas's blood on his hands.
Your unit has suffered enough.
I'm not going anywhere.
Come on.
- The black wire.
- Okay.
- Then the red wire in the bundle.
All right.
I really want to know I want to know what you were thinking When you sent this bomb.
It might be the last mystery I solve.
I don't believe this.
I don't believe they'd let you do this.
No one believed They'd let me carry a badge and a gun again, either.
What are they gonna do hold my last paycheck? Say bad things about me at my funeral? I'm two years past the day I was supposed to die.
Some days I make peace with that.
Others, like today I thank you for the chance to go out like this.
And then you want to try to kill one of my men.
The last thing I'm gonna do is avenge him, right here Right now.
- You think I'm gonna flinch, you pious bastard? You think you can bluff me? Your kind you turn around the right corner, A murder collar falls right at your feet.
Suddenly you're a superstar.
I took the tests.
I stood where I was supposed to.
I was the cop anyone was.
Not as lucky, but just as good better! Your kind drove me off the job, but I made good.
I made good! You hear me? I proved you wrong, and I'll prove you wrong right now! Okay, then.
No! You're right.
It was a ridiculous bluff.
Kind of surprised you bought it.
I thought I really sold it.
Did you see how I made myself sweat? - Yeah, yeah, but you got sloppy rushing to get rid of me.
After we defused the bomb, The first piece of shrapnel we found in this envelope of yours Came back as a match to you.
- Nothing I said was admissible.
So what was this some sort of sick, elaborate joke? No.
I was just fascinated with the mind That would send me a bomb.
- I know, baby.
Tell the boys I'm sorry, okay? This one was too big for me to make it home.
You know how that is.
Thanks.
- Hey, go, come on.
I type faster than you, anyway.
- You know what, sweetheart? Never mind.
Give me 45 minutes, but put the coffee on, okay? We'll have a cup in peace before the boys wake up.
Then it's blueberry pancakes for breakfast.
Yeah, see you soon.
Blueberry pancakes, huh? - It's how my dad liked 'em too.
What are you doing here? - They give you details or just let you go? Just let me go.
- They never like to admit that they're wrong.
We got white on another bomb.
Couldn't get him for the jewish student center explosion Or the hate crimes yet, but the good news is, We know you weren't the bomber.
- Why are you in uniform? I thought you were a detective.
I'm going to a funeral.
- That something only cops go to or - St.
Patrick's, 11:00.
The jonas family could use all the prayers they can get.
What happened? - Found him passed out in the car.
Lucky he didn't do more damage.
Kind of pissed to roll on a D.
U.
I.
And find a detective behind the wheel.
- You're pissed? This is my car.
Gary, what the hell, man? - Bobby, I'm sorry.
I had to drop nate off last minute, and I only had a bike, And I borrowed your ride.
I was - You drove your son like this? - It's all right.
It's just a car.
- God.
- Just glad you're in one piece.
- Look, the neighbors called 911.
They see him walk, it's my ass.
- Okay, you don't want to be the rookie that busted another cop.
Call in a 10-53, single car accident, no injuries.
I'll handle the rest.
Go.
Yes, sir.
- Come on, let's go.
- Oh, thank god.
ooh.
Oh, what are you what are you doing? - I'm putting on a show for the rubberneckers.
Come on, come on.
- Just sit in the unit till I get a tow.
Take 'em off, we get around the corner.
- Too many damn funerals these last few years.
What's this? - It's the notes on the bruhaus case.
- Yeah, I figured you saw through that.
- Wasn't quite sure what I was looking at, though.
The amends thing, Owning all the wrong you've done oh, hell.
- A lot of things we both never said.
- You know, the words I need they don't come easy.
My wife, my family, ed I found a way with them.
You and me It's the biggest conversation of my life.
I'm not there yet.
- Well, you're not the only one that needs to make amends.
Oh, ups and downs.
I couldn't have asked for a better partner.
There were times you could have asked for a better friend.
If I'm being honest I'm not ready for that conversation either.
Joint terrorism task force Called for a full department rollout.
- Bet they were hoping you'd leave me at home.
Is the bomb live? - Experts say yes.
- Why not just hit it with a water cannon? - Placement's bad only partially visible.
No guarantee of a direct hit.
Jonas has to go at it manually.
That's our hero.
Dog got away, ran up under the car.
Guy bent down to drag him out and saw the cell phone wired up.
He dialed 911.
Good news keeps coming.
Jonas says the trigger under the jeep is booby-trapped.
Fail safe is wired into the engine.
He's gonna pop the hood, try to find it.
- Jeep's owner, derek valencia he's got priors for robbery, Drug possession, and burglary.
- Why'd you tow me? I was parked legal on the grand concourse.
- With a bomb? - what? Nobody got a reason to blow me up.
When'd you park it? - Thursday morning.
- Thursday? - Okay, look, I've been with a woman.
I can't say more without injuring innocent parties.
Chivalry prevents me from saying anything more.
Sarah lockwood, 432 east 148th street, 646-555-0127.
Don't call after 5:00, 'cause her husband finds out, I'm evicted.
- Hand him over to the jttf guys.
Hand me off? For the heart wanting what it wants? - Any way he could have driven down from the bronx With the bomb? - Not a chance.
Okay.
- Let's see what you got for me here, huh? Okay, okay.
Now What the All right.
Good for me.
We do have a device.
Repeat we do have a device.
- Hate crimes task force likes this For a pattern they've been investigating.
First, there's graffiti on a synagogue wall, Then there was a rock tied up in a flag Thrown through a window at the jewish museum.
And number three was arson At the anti-defamation league office.
- Pro-palestinian sentiments, jewish targets Scope of crimes escalate, the numbers go down.
Let's look for a flag.
- I found the secondary initiation device.
Got the lead wire isolated.
Moving in to disconnect now.
- There's no flag on the outside of the jewish student center.
It's a calling card.
They'll want it in one piece after the building went down.
Okay.
Right there Parapet.
See if aviation has a visual.
Once we've defused, Joint terrorism task force is taking point.
- Selected crimes is just here to offer support, as requested.
- Disconnecting the second wire now.
We spotted a flag.
It could match the hate crimes' pattern.
Waiting on an image from a better viewpoint.
oh.
Ah.
- If two is a bomb, what the hell is one gonna be? - We'll do a high-profile target alert Israeli consulates, american jewish congress offices, Half a dozen other possibles.
It feels too linear.
Graffiti to broken window to fire to bomb.
The incidents are getting bigger.
But the targets aren't.
The bomber's profile is more avenger than slayer.
He's making a statement and getting angrier, But not angry enough to kill for his cause.
We got a small problem here.
What do you have? - I got two lead wires wrapped around each other, One frayed.
I think I can get 'em.
- Negative, jonas.
Step away from the vehicle.
Just give me one minute.
- Jonas, clear that vehicle now! âa - Anybody hear if jonas had a family yet? - He was married, no kids.
Is no kids better or worse? - We have teams deployed at the likely remaining targets.
Meantime, we're rolling out on our terror watch hot list.
- Terrorists don't start throwing rocks through windows.
- We're dealing with an organized enemy Who's ramping up the violence.
He or they want headlines.
That's how we catch them.
- Bomber wasn't expecting to kill a cop today.
He won't want headlines, just a hole to hide in.
But you go ahead, you look for your organized enemy.
I'll look for the cop killer.
- Any reason you picked this moment to stir the pot? You see a spoon in my hand? - That's not what you're stirring with.
so where do we start? - Jewish student center building is part of the university.
Start with people who knew that.
- This is the university's official list Of problem children, And this is my list.
Chronic run-ins with security, suspected drug abuse, Bad expulsions still living in the city.
You got your own list? - Back in the 2-7, I did the same thing.
Kept track of the neighborhood humps, Knew where to look when something went wrong.
Once a cop, right? - Let's cut the substance abusers.
No one with a routine jones Has steady enough hands to build that bomb.
- I'll drop the discons and domestics too.
Keep the disorderlies.
Our guy might be a chest-thumper.
I'll take those 17 to start.
Did you say burke? Your dad michael burke worked for the 5-5 squad? - Yeah, his last couple years on the job.
I see the resemblance.
We crossed paths before I made lieutenant.
He might not remember, but say "hey," from stu white.
Your dad was a cop's cop.
- Yeah, sure thing.
- These tags in the jewish student center? - "bully" in arabic.
They've got this ongoing feud With the alliance of muslim students.
We used to chase kids out of there constantly Before we got the boot.
"got the boot"? J.
S.
C.
Switched from campus To private security a few weeks back.
You get what you pay for.
- I bet they're rethinking that decision right about now.
Give me the breakdown Of all campus burglaries the last six months.
Our bomber might have been inside that building before.
- Got another one at the student health center.
May couple of desktop computers taken.
What? - You got something on your face.
- I do? What, food? No, like like some prepubescent hair hiding out On a grown man's chin.
Here, let me get it.
my wife likes it.
You want to call her and tell her you don't? - No, but holly does.
- No.
No, I do not.
How long was your pops on the job? 30 years.
Came on in '77.
He'd still be wearing a badge if he could.
- You should bring him around sometime.
First drink's on me just to hear his war stories.
- Just the first one? - Mm-hmm.
Yeah, sure, I'll ask him.
- So, uh, yeah, thanks for talking to me.
- So you guys shake hands every time he hands you a report? - Well, he passed his piss test, got his gun back.
Guess he's working through the program now.
We just had "make amends" coffee.
How was it when you guys talked? We haven't.
- Lab says the bomb was an I.
E.
D.
Fueled with ammonium nitrate.
You can download the "how to" online.
- Jttf locate the terrorist conspiracy yet? No, but you knew that.
- So what am I doing talking to you? - Best deep relaxation massage in town.
Office hours are like me, flexible.
- Mm.
- Just got to cut loose, right? - Mm-hmm.
- Have some fun.
You have no idea.
Hmm? - Can't wait to have some fun.
- All right.
That makes three of us.
Ooh! My man.
ha.
Next one's on me.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's late.
I got to drive out to hartford in the morning Witness re-interview.
- Hey, give me two.
- Waste of my energy, breaking in newbies.
I already had you trained.
trained for what? Cleaning food wrappers out of cars? come on, one for the road.
Mm.
Hey, girl.
- The burglaries that match your criteria Finessed entry, electronic or chemical items stolen.
- Pull up white's list.
- Right.
- So student health center, medical research library.
- And stacy hall, one of the dorms.
- Stacy hall.
So these three.
Okay.
- All right, list is up.
- Take out pinches for grand larceny.
Our guy likes low-risk targets.
Keep all majors tied to the med library.
Keep employees or interns from student health.
Ah, bingo.
Now, who's he? - Scott dolan, chemistry major, works in the health center lab, Writes for the bellamy press.
- Okay.
Check for assault charges, Probably tied to protests, burglary arrests.
- Looks like he punched a kid at a "free palestine" rally, Couple of burglary charges tied to suspected vandalism, But none of these collars went the distance.
Residence is stacy hall at bellamy.
Scott's not here.
He's at work.
- At the lab? yeah.
Is everything chill? - Chill? - I mean, you guys are cops.
So what'd he do? Not that I think scott did anything.
Scott's, uh - Cool.
- Yeah, he's at the lab.
So can I go? Okay.
Got to love The post-wake-and-bake witness interview.
- Dolan's not here.
Roommate says he's a work.
- Everyone just keep doing what you're doing.
- You know, if you got somewhere else to be, We got this handled.
- Wouldn't want to drag security along either if it was me.
School policy.
Got to escort nypd anytime you're on campus property.
- Scott dolan? - Over here.
He was running hematocrit tests.
Maybe he finished.
- Well, he's not done for the day.
- Coffee break? Grabbing a smoke? I don't know.
Where is he? Come on, guys.
Hey, at yale, we partied in the boiler room In the comm lecture hall.
You guys go where? No takers? All right, first one to answer Doesn't get their drunk instagram photos Sent to mom and dad Well, at least not by me.
So how secure is this place? - We keep the shelter locked, do periodic door checks.
I got higher priorities than an empty room.
Maybe not so empty? Still intact, no pick marks.
Same as the jewish student center locks.
He's got another bomb! - We're the police, all right? Put the phone down.
- What is this? - Put the phone down right now.
- You can't type that keypad faster than we can shoot.
Go, go.
Go.
- Up against the chair, right now.
Hands behind your back.
We got him.
We caught the bomber.
Let's take a walk.
- Student health center lab tech.
Chemistry major.
- Muslim.
That was next, right? - Spent the last two summers In saudi arabia studying at king saud university.
That was next.
- When I converted, They told me that just being muslim was a crime to some.
- Threw down your martyr card a little early, didn't you? - How do you not see how unfair this kind of profiling is? You're a black man in a wheelchair.
Half of this department looks at you, and they see Affirmative action at work.
The rest, see half a cop.
- Is that supposed to get me on your side or get you smacked? You blew up that building thinking it was empty.
That dead cop, that was bad luck.
"life without parole" bad luck.
- Somebody put those things in my locker.
Jake texted me - your roommate? - Yes, jake.
Jake patterson.
He he texted me and told me that security was coming To bust our hangout, so I went down to get my stuff.
- By "stuff," meaning the bombs? - Those weren't mine! The only thing that I had in there were pamphlets To hand out explaining That muslims are bound to overcome hatred, Not perpetuate it.
I am just trying to spread the truth Like those radicals Patrick henry or martin luther king.
- Hey, do not compare yourself to dr.
King Not after that.
Gary? - Hey, bob.
Hey.
Uh I was wondering, uh You got a copy of the notes from the bruhaus case? What? - I got court next week.
I can't find mine.
Can you help me out? - Okay.
- Yeah? Okay.
- That's all? - Yeah, yeah, what else? Yeah, that's on me, penny.
I told him I'd buzz you, and I passed out myself.
Yes.
No, he's he's fine.
He already left for work.
Well, phone must be dead.
- Okay.
All right.
You forgot to call her last night.
- Man, I'm so sorry, and I know I keep saying that - That's fine.
Drink up.
Come on, we got to be in court in 30 minutes.
It's not fine, man.
Look, you shouldn't have to make excuses to my wife 'cause I'm just too damn drunk to talk to her.
Bob, I've been thinking about Bob? - Hmm? - I think I got a problem, man.
- You hit it hard last night.
It happens.
All right, penny will forgive you, After one or two nights on the couch.
I'm rolling out in five minutes.
Let's roll.
- My phone got stolen two days ago.
- Yeah? From where? - Uh, not really sure.
Just kind of having one of those weeks, you know? Yeah, the subtle aromas Of skunk weed and binaca do tell a story.
- Are you guys friends or just roommates? - We're friends.
Why? Jock and the muslim radical Kind of the odd couple, you know? - Dude, is that how they rolled back in, what, '04? All tribal? - Okay, that wasn't that long ago.
- Did you guys even have facebook back then? - We had myspace, and we liked it.
You and scott? - Yeah, we were on the tennis team together until he quit.
Felt guilty taking time from everything that pisses him off.
- Did you notice anything else change about him? - Look, dude, you're putting me in a bad position.
A cop died.
You don't even want to imagine The bad positions we can put you in.
- Scott took the lab job so he wouldn't have to take money From his parents anymore.
They're not so hot on the whole muslim thing, you know? But he's had a lot of cash lately.
I thought maybe he was dealing drugs.
You thought? Like, maybe you bought some from him? - No, you guys got the wrong idea about me.
okay, but, no, I didn't.
Scott came home with a bag of prepaid cell phones.
Dealers use those, right? To do business? - Not just dealers.
- Found a receipt for four prepaid burner phones.
We tossed the dorm room, but didn't find anything.
We're gonna go back to the fallout shelter, See if we missed something.
- Call the bomb squad out there for insurance.
Where's the other bomb? - What are you talking about? - You bought four phones.
Two in your locker.
The third blew the car At the jewish student center.
Now, one body on you is enough.
Let us get to this other bomb.
Nothing I say even matters.
I won't be the first follower Of allah to be martyred for his belief.
- Joint terrorism task force is driving across The brooklyn bridge as we speak.
You're about to become a headline.
Now, maybe someone made you plant these bombs.
Maybe someone you met in saudi arabia threatened you, Threatened your family, but I'm about the only person interested In listening right now.
- That's exactly What you'd say if you had put those things in my locker.
Sergeant, the qur'an asks, "do the people think that they will be left to say, 'we believe,' and they will not be tried?" I'm a pawn in your game A traitor, the convenient terrorist.
You can lie to the world about me.
That's fine.
But you can't lie to me, 'cause I know the truth.
Over here! - The bomb's at scott's workstation.
Good work hunting it down.
No, it was white.
Came up empty at the shelter.
His idea to search the lab.
- Good thing the health center's open, Full of patients.
Lot of potential casualties.
- Certain disaster was avoided here today.
We're getting a picture now.
The bomb's a dud.
- Fuse is blown, circuit's incomplete.
No booby traps.
Device is inactive.
How'd you know? - Kid's not the bomber.
He is.
They schedule jonas's funeral? I'd like to be there.
- There'd be a lot more funerals If you hadn't sent us back to that lab.
It was a good hunch.
Well, you know how it is.
Spend enough time locking horns with the same perp, You start to see how they think.
- You were ahead of us the whole time, weren't you? Helped shave down a suspect list, Pointed me at the break-ins.
- I had some insight, but it was a team effort.
- Yeah, hell of a bonus, though The bomber being a kid who won't shut up About campus security crossing lines, Racial profiling.
Student newspaper I read his articles.
- Classic chip-on-the-shoulder crybaby.
Is that your read? Because me I read him as smart, Too smart to leave a trail back to himself, To his major, to his job, Too smart to set a bomb that was never gonna go off.
That's really nice.
Maybe he wanted to get caught.
It's a pathology with these types.
- So I hear you're up for a promotion.
Nice.
And I figure the press you get from this Would help seal that deal, huh? - Is that what's under your skin, sergeant, huh? Who gets credit for what? - No, no, no.
It's all on you.
The problem-child list, You know, finding the locker, digging up that last bomb.
- I didn't help you find the locker.
My bad.
- So what's this conversation about, sergeant? - You know, that's the second time you called me sergeant.
Were you one of those lieutenants Who threw around rank when he couldn't earn respect? Jonas's unit is planning his funeral.
You call them for details.
A terrorist gets caught, he goes one of two ways "I'm a hero," or "they made me do it.
" I gave the kid both ways to go, And he keeps saying he's innocent.
- Criminals never say they're innocent.
Buy me more time.
Tell jttf that we're not ready to turn him over.
- Tell them you don't think the radical muslim Bombed the jewish center, the decorated ex-cop did.
- The minute we hand over scott dolan, he's the headlines.
His name is never separated from the bomb, and white wins.
I'm climbing inside his head.
Just let me play it out.
- All right, let me see what I can do.
- My six-year-old keeps his room cleaner than this.
What? I use those for coasters when people come over.
- When's the last time you had people over? Hey, you remember a cop named stuart white? - Tough son of a bitch to forget.
- He said you were a hell of a cop.
- Maybe that's the only thing that zero ever got right.
- Wonder why he'd bring you up if you had nothing good to say.
- You don't tell a guy like white that you know he's wrong.
You let him think he's one up on you.
This way, the whole time, you're up on him.
- Wrong? You mean, like, he was dirty? - I don't know about dirty, but he always had an angle Pad his O.
T.
With shaky collars, Find a way to jump the line on good details.
You looking at him for something? We could use someone willing To loosen their jaw where he's concerned, yeah.
- Try, uh, carlos young, captain in the 9-9.
There was bad blood between the two of those guys.
- Thanks, dad.
Appreciate that.
- You know the rule.
- The badge is who you are, Not something you put on or take off.
- I knew you were mine no matter what your mother said.
all right.
You haven't seen the kids for a while, huh? Why don't you come upstate this weekend? - Yeah, sounds good.
Maybe not this week.
- Well, I could bring everybody down.
Go to the zoo, make a big day of it.
- All right, let's get it on the calendar.
- What else you got on that calendar? I got a lot.
- Go have some coffee at the deli? Email your old partners what a moron Ray kelly is 'cause he wasn't a detective, Then take a nap? I get all the highlights in there? - You sound like your mother.
She was always on me.
You stopped coming home, dad.
- I gave her what she wanted Yard for you, eat-in kitchen for her.
I had a different life to live.
- That life ended eight years ago, dad.
How about trying to find a new one? I'll call you when I got some time, all right? - Captain to captain? - Just on background.
Doesn't leave these four walls.
White was a sergeant.
Woman comes in, says he roughed up her daughter Busting an underage party.
I'm a new lieutenant.
Maybe I'm hiding behind the patrol guide a little.
Maybe it's sixth sense.
I took the complaint.
Then nothing.
No call from ccrb.
No follow-up.
- Any idea what he did to make it go away? - Complainant lives in the precinct.
I see her on the street.
I follow up a little.
She's scared.
Kid's scared.
How'd he come back at you? - How do you know he came back at me? You're painting that picture.
Some mope I've never seen Files a complaint against me for excessive force.
He's got my badge number, car number, Matches the exact time and place when I was alone Running an errand in the 9-5.
White pulled the log books.
Crossed all his "t"s, dotted all his "I"s.
Suspension, modified.
I lost my hearing.
Get busted back down to sergeant.
White gets promoted next test, transfers back to my house, Gives me the worst six months in my career.
You think that son of a bitch Planted a bomb to frame somebody? You think he wouldn't? - Where's the music in this place? Man, you couldn't walk welch hall without hearing Jimmy eat world, the strokes, or ryan adams.
What, do you even listen to music? Of course I listen to music.
- Anything other than the theme to rocky? Jake patterson? Looking for jake? - Yeah.
He been around? Not since yesterday.
Said he had a family emergency.
Wasn't sure when he'd be back.
Family emergency.
Well, that's code for, "hey, I lied to the cops And set up my best friend.
" - Let's hope his credit card's left a trail.
The last charge on jake patterson's account Was a ticket to Philly at 11:00 A.
M.
- Round trip? - One-way, nonrefundable.
Gonna be out that 17 bucks.
- 12 he got the web-only fare.
Patterson, stop! Out of the way! - Stop! Stop! Give me your hands.
Why'd you run, jake? Huh? Huh? - Let me guess.
Grandma doesn't have any insurance, And she needs her medicine.
- Drugs are the least of your worries here.
.
- I'll call my lawyer and let him tell me what to worry about.
- That's option one.
While you're doing that, I'll reach out to your old man.
It's a funny little "small world" story.
I have a cousin who plays squash with him at the union club.
Enough time and money and the right lawyer, Yeah, you'll stay out of jail.
But that corner office you had your eye on In your uncle's firm, got the waterfront views And the long-legged assistant And the expense account lunches at nobu That's your brother's now.
- Oh, would that be chip or biff? Bye-bye, trust fund! So long, tee times in the hamptons.
- Hello, "have you ever committed a felony" box On your retail-job applications.
- If I cooperate, you guys can protect me, right? - Can't protect you if we don't know who from.
Seems to me you're at a bit of a crossroads moment here, jake.
Be the guy who finally did right by his best friend, Bought himself another chance along the way, Or be the scumbag who wrecked his life Being scared of the wrong person? - Stuart white's got security video of me Buying prescriptions off of other students.
He said if I didn't send that text to scott, Tell you guys the story about the phones, That he would ruin my life.
I knew he meant it.
I don't believe it.
This is another trick, another tactic.
Yeah, that's right, scott.
I spent the last 48 hours trying to gaslight you Instead of looking for the real bomber, Because you're that important.
It doesn't make sense.
Jake is my friend, my best friend.
- Well, you're not the judge of character you think you are.
Scott, jttf is coming.
You understand that? They take you, we're done talking.
Why would he do it? Why would white build a bomb? I mean, I wrote those articles, but nobody cared.
I wasn't a threat to him.
- No.
No, you weren't.
What about the jewish student center? - Well, they weren't even his problem anymore.
The jsc hired their own security.
The alliance of muslim students Was thinking of doing the same thing.
You get what you pay for.
Jsc's V.
P.
says white's been a thorn in their side for years, Throwing his weight around, Making 'em jump through hoops for extra patrols.
The move off campus was their chance To finally pull the plug on him.
- Bellamy political union says three more groups Have filed a notice of intent to hire private security.
Jewish student center was a floodgate.
- Less demand for your services, harder to justify your budget.
- White wants to rock jsc, scare everyone back into the fold.
Goes down his enemies list.
Scott dolan is the perfect fall guy.
- I've been going over white's financials, And he's been declaring all of his bellamy income, But he's also been buying Property upstate for the last four years And not carrying any loans.
- There's no way he's buying real estate with his own cash.
- My dad said white used to pad his overtime Back when he was on the job.
- Now he's a boss, he gets other people to pad their timesheets And makes them split it with him and moves it into real estate.
