Nice work last night, partner.
No shots, no casualties.
That's what love picture shows up.
That's a pleasure to be here, Sergeant Stevens.
It's an honor to be part of the T-14 Squad.

We are well oiled machine.
- Based on your moves last night, you fit in just fine.
- Hey, man.
I heard about the shooting incident.
Lieutenant Lang is going to be a tough fact to follow.
Dan was guy.
He's gonna be missed.
That cop-killer better hope I don't find his worthless ass.
That's all I got to say.
Is a precinct picnic used to be all kinds of fun, for all these bitches and morons.
Tracking another , Detective? You guys are making Lang up to be some sort of hero.
Truth is he was a fool.
Why don't you take some place else, loser? - Truth hurts, Sergeant Stevens? - No, this does.
Come on, Detective.
Are you alright? Why do you keep defending this guy? He threw himself in between a shooter and his partner.
He was a good cop.
alright? And it got him killed.
Right in front of Lang's kids.
That was nice.
That was really nice.

Officer Killed, Unknown Assailant'' ''Police Officer Leaves Two Young Sons Behind'' ''Jet'aime, Michelle'' Jet'aime, Michelle.
I love you too.
Hey, Sydney.
Routine scans from last week.
Are you okay, Sydney? Broots, can I trust you? Absolutely.
I told you about the dream I keep having about Miss Parker, didn't I? I need your help to find a person.
Her name is Michelle Lucca.
Okay.
This is every thing I remember about her.
Broots, this is important to me.
Please be secretive.
Okay, Sydney.
You know you can count on me.
Hate to break up the coffee clutch.
But Broots is needed on sublevel five right away.
Oh, okay.
Do the course.
Everything okay, Syd? Fine, Miss Parker, fine.
In a hurry, Broots? Oh, hi.
What? I want the paper Sydney gave you.
- You're listening at the door? - It was an accident.
Call the cop.
The paper! Michelle Lucca.
Dr.
Pavlov has been drooling ever since he found that note from Jarod.
Do exactly what's Sydney asked.
Okay.
If Sydney's protecting Jarod for some reason, I need to know about it.
You got it? Yeah.
Oh, and Broots.
I can't wait to hear about that dream of yours.
And we are clear.
What did the hell you shoot that, Mooney? Cleveland? Are you okay? Yeah.
I need some air.
What's with him? I don't know.
Nice choice of simulation scenario, Jarod.
Well, Simulation is sort of my speciality.
You and Cook, you show some shooting.
Just back up the team.
What's up? I really drop the ball back there.
Maybe the simulation was a little too close the home.
Maybe it reminded you the day you got shot.
The day Dan Lang was killed.
It's only been two weeks.
I was like I was living that again.
was going off.
Dan screaming, pain cutting into my leg.
Classic syndromes of post-traumatic stress.
Have you talked to someone? I am doing mandatory search since the department shrink.
I just can't get it out of my head.
Stress can be triggered by a number of factors.
Anger.
Fear.
Guilty.
Guilty? About how Dan Lang died to save your life.
Look, Your physical wounds are healing.
Maybe it's time to start dealing with your emotional ones.
It will heal when I catch the man that murdered my partner.
We run the simulations to hold our technical skills.
Same thing can work for healing emotions.
Well, we got a call about butch bank robbery.
The suspect drove three blocks and abandoned his car and broke into a roller rink.
Lang and I made entry there.
Just behind those lockers.
We moved to our breaches but we were pinned by gunfire coming from the box.
Up there.
I had Lang's then I was hit in the leg and went down.
Dan stood between me and the shooter just kept firing.
It sounded like we were in the middle of a war.
Stevens and Cook were taking a cover position over there.
You could see them? I didn't have to.
It's standard technical procedure.
Anyway, the next thing I knew, Lang was shot and went down.
That's when I saw the shooter.
He stood open to the light.
White man, six feet, .
.
build, goatee and in a baseball cap.
Son of the bitch knew what he was doing too.
They found powder of M1-32 shell casings.
Armor-piercing rounds Cop killers.
Tore off Lang's vest like paper.
They call us the Turbo Squad.
Pistons in the same engine.
If we don't fire at the right time, that engine breaks down.
People die.
- Anything on this Michelle Lucca? - No on Michelle Lucca.
Yes on Michelle Stamatis.
Married and living in New York state.
But that's not the screwy part.
- What is that surprised me? - Well, there is absolutely no record of Michelle Lucca ever have existed before moving to Albany in 1974.
No drivers licences, no birth certificate, nothing.
Broots.
Look deeper.
Then you can give Sydney her address but nothing else.
We need to find that note Jarod left Sydney in the cabin.
I am sure he hid it pretty well.
You haven't seen it, have you? Broots? No way, no.
Miss Parker, this woman obviously means a lot to Sydney.
Your point? Whatever happens with respecting someone's privacy? Look, I know how much you care about Sydney.
How the old goat's even going on me a little.
But this might have something to do with Jarod.
And that, is what's important.
This is central dispatched T-14.
Suspects invaded a roller rink in 21B shore road.
He is armed and dangerous, over.
This is Lang.
Officer Mooney and I abandoned the building.
Officer Stevens and Cook have taken flank positions.
Over.
Copy entry, keep this channel 11 of T14, over.
Request immediately backup, officer down.
Repeat T14? Lang was hit! Officer down Copy officer down.
Backup in road, over.
Response, T14, over.
Officer Lang, please respond.
Officer Lang, this is dispatch, please respond.
This is Lang.
I can't, I can't feel my legs.
Daniel, talk to me.
Stay with me.
The ambulance is on the way.
This's so cold.
I am so cold.
Daniel, stay with me.
Please tell my boys, tell Jordan and Cody, daddy loves them.
You can tell them that yourself, Daniel.
Just hang on.
Daniel? Oh, My God! Daniel, stay with me.
Please tell my boys, tell Jordan and Cody, daddy loves them.
Ceramics figurines with vegetation for hair.
Chia pets.
Pets? Yeah.
I never have much for green thumb and animals hate me.
It seems like a logical solution.
I am Jarod.
Dan Lang's replacement.
I don't think it's possible to replace a man like lieutenant Lang.
No.
You were working dispatch on the night lieutenant Lang was killed.
I was the last person speak to him.
It must be very difficult for you.
Considering how you and Dan felt about each other.
What? You two were in love.
I heard the dispatch tape.
I could hear it in your voice, the way you spoke to each other.
It must be very comforting for Dan.
To have you there until the end.
Daniel lost his wife just a year ago.
Since then, it's just been him and the boys.
You were close to his sons? Yeah, very.
The only family they have left, are Daniel's parents in Seattle.
I have been tried to contact them about taking custody of Jordan and Cody.
Trouble is they've been travelling in Europe for over a month.
I am really gonna miss those kids.
It's difficult, losing people that we love.
Yeah.
I haven't even cleaned out his locker yet.
It sounds silly.
It makes he seems a final.
So real.
I don't want to forget him.
I want to do something, you know, make a difference.
At least I want to get this cop killer bullet off the street.
Did Dan happen to mention anyone, who might be supplying that type of ammunition in street? He did mention a man named Petrovka.
Vladimir Petrovka, a local Russian connected to the Moscow Maffia.
Interpol thinks he might be responsible for smuggling cop killer ammunitions in States.
Among other things.
That's definitely him.
I remember hearing his name a lot just before Daniel made up his mind to leave the team.
Daniel was planning to leave Turbo Squad? Yeah, it was strange.
The last few weeks before the shooting, he became so distant as if he knew something was gonna happen.
That is strange.
He said he was leaving Turbo because he was burnt out.
But, I think it was because of the boys.
Jordan and Cody were the world of him.
Now they may not have anybody.
Michelle Lucca, the more I look, the less I find.
I access ClA,FBl and He is not there.
Interpol files.
None of them have any record of her having ever existed prior to 1974.
so, I got the thinking, who else could wipe out a person's past so efficiently? - She worked for the Center.
- Got information, Miss Parker.
She was the clinical psychologist to work very closely with Sydney on the pretender project.
She is beautiful, isn't she? Figure out how this connects to that note Jarod left.
I'll get on this right away, then.
You are hiding something, Broots.
What? I think you heard me.
I promised Sydney he can trust me.
- And you feel like you're lying to him, right? - Yes.
So, by giving me the rest of what you know, it doesn't make you any more despicable than you are really are.
Right? Right.
Let's go in my office.
Jordan and Cody remain with , but respective considering they lost their father.
I understand that.
The boys' grandparents might take custody.
And apparently they are out of the country.
We're still trying to make a contact.
What happens if they'are unable to take custody? What happens to Jordan and Cody then? Statistically older children particularly ones with emotional scars are very difficult to place.
If I ever left here, would anybody want me? Let's You must be good at this game.
Would you like to play? Whatever.
You are a S.
W.
A.
T.
Yes, I am.
So, did you know our dad? No, but I hear he was a great guy.
Do you guys remember anything strange happening before your father's accident? He yelled one night.
- Yelled? - At the men.
Me and Cody've gone to bed and we woke up when we heard them fighting.
- Did you see these men? - No, but we can hear them.
Dad was real mad.
He kept telling them that he didn't want to be involved and that they should leave.
It was a few nights beforeyou know.
Are you okay? Everyday before he went to work, he said nothing would happen to him.
He promised.
Cody, Your father died of saving another police officer.
There is nothing more heroic than that.
This is so wrong.
Sydney should be entitled to a private life.
Keep looking.
He was poped around here when I was here before him.
I got it.
What? Oh God! Oh, Miss Parker.
- Sydney, we were just - Just looking for you because I need your report on the surveillance scans.
- I'll put them on your desk.
- Thank you.
- Any news, Broots? - Almost.
Give me that! It is a birth certificate.
Michelle Lucca is named as the mother but there is no one here as the father.
Sydney.
I was in the cover position near the back breaches with officer Cook when we heard gunfire.
We immediately returned the fire.
I was hit almost immediately.
That's when Dan, I mean Officer Lang began to return fire.
The next thing I knew he was down.
And I can see the shooter, the guy with goatee and baseball cap looking right at me.
Felt like the fire fight lasted twenty minutes.
When we stop firing, we heard another weapon, sounded like one of our MP5 nine mm coming from the breaches in front of us.
Felt like the fire fight lasted twenty minutes.
Felt like the fire fight lasted Felt like the fire fight Felt like the fire fight I can't believe that buddy reopened the roller rink that haven't fixed the damage.
Liz, what kind of weapons were Mooney and Lang carrying the day of shooting? Stevens and Cook? - M16 assault rifles, standard team issue.
- Right.
Going to fire I can't feel my legs.
Daniel, oh my god.
I am sorry.
I shouldn't have brought you here.
Why did you ask about the weapons? Because maybe Mooney and Lang didn't have a back up after at all.
What are you talking about? Stevens and Cook were right behind them.
Were they? Cook said there was a fire fight.
Yeah, so? So there were such a vicious exchange of gun fire, why there aren't more bullet holes.
And why are all these bullet holes exact same size? You lost me.
An M16 slot leaves slightly smaller bullet hole than 9 mm.
It's not something you would notice unless you're looking for it.
And none of these bullet holes come from the assault weapon.
Stevens and Cook are expert marksman.
I've seen them shoot.
That box is only thirty yards away.
Yet they miss their target.
Why is that? You're saying that they never fired at the shooter.
I am saying that maybe, just maybe, who's never shooting in the first place.
Then who killed Daniel? Maybe¡­ Stevens and Cook.
The birth certificate is from 1974 for a boy named Nicholas.
He was born about eight months after Michelle Lucca left the Center.
thinking what to do with that part of his enemy.
Now he gets a son out there.
That's just why we should leave him alone.
Give the moral , Broots.
I wouldn't want anyone from the Center getting involved my daughter's life.
We have to back off, Miss Parker.
For Sydney show some testosterone you.
Must be water.
Would you put that away? The Center made Michelle disappeared.
Don't, don't you think they've done enough to Sydney? I told you this isn't about Sydney.
It's about Jarod.
If you say that, I just wonder if you believe it.
''Night Vision'' A voice from beyond the grave.
This lieutenant Daniel B.
Lang.
Badge number 44562.
The date is March 4.
The time is eleven eighteen PM.
My location is 570 Franklin Avenue.
I am currently on observations of Officer Stevens, Cooke and Mooney with one fled from here, Petrovka.
the known criminal with ties to the Russian Maffia.
And convictions on weapons and drug charges.
This is the second meeting which I have witnessed the exchange of money.
I plan to turn this surveillance tape over to the District Attorney's office as soon as I collect enough evidence.
I just hope I can stop this before anybody concerned.
You may have been too late, Dan.
But I won't be.
Nick, you're When I returned to the Center, your desk has been cleared out, your project reassigned, and your apartment was empty.
You left without a trace.
I had only this.
Jet'aime.
Michelle, if you loved me, how could you leave without saying goodbye? Because I loved you.
I received a copy of a birth certificate.
A boy named Nicholas, born eight months after you left.
No father listed.
Michelle.
Am I the father? Sydney.
Well, am I? Do you remember that Easter weekend we spent at the cabin? After a few weeks I got up one morning, I wasn't feeling very well.
So I made an appointment with my doctor.
You were pregnant.
I was so excited.
For me, for us.
I rushed to Blue Cove to tell you.
When I got to the Center, I was stopped.
By whom? By a man that I've never even seen before.
I don't know how.
But somehow he knew about our child.
He gave me a choice, Sydney.
The Center would relocate me, set up a substantial trust fund for Nicholas if¡­ I promise never to see you, speak with you again.
And if you refused? He said you would be in a terrible accident.
He said the Center couldn't take a chance that you're becoming distracted.
compromising your objectivity towards the pretender project.
Sydney, I was afraid.
After I left and Nicholas was born.
I met someone.
And got married.
He raised our child as his own.
We chose never to tell him the truth.
We can tell him now.
At what cost? He is such a bright, splendid young man with a great future.
He is going to be a teacher like you.
And he is going to be back in any minute now.
I have to go.
I hope you understand, Sydney.
At least this time, we can say goodbye.
Sydney.
The inscription on the watch, I meant it.
Forever.
I found this in a box full of case files.
Vladimir Petrovka.
- He was arrested two years ago by¡­ - Stevens, Cook and Mooney? That's when Petrovka began his relationship with the Turbo Squad.
This is before Daniel joined the team.
Petrovka got off on a technicality.
Now Stevens and the others get paid to tip the Petrovka off about raids.
Their father found out and confronted them.
That must the fight the boys overheard.
He was going to turn them in.
So they killed him.
It's not over, Liz.
Not yet.
Going somewhere? I saw the birth certificate, Sydney.
Michelle said the Center threatened to have me killed if I ever found out about my son.
She was told to leave.
They stole my life, Parker.
Just like they stole Jarod's.
- And Angelo's and¡­ - Mine? If you leave now, then you'll never find out who did this.
You're not really gonna leave, are you, Sydney? Apparently not.
If you knew about the birth certificate, why didn't you confront me? Everyone deserves a life.
Even you.
So what the hell couldn't you hit the 45? Get out of here.
I don't want you to talk about my target.
- I was talking about your target.
- Oh, no, man.
I was talking about your 45, too.
Alright, we'll meet at technical region in the morning.
- We'll just have to prove it.
- Yeah.
T-14, we have confirmed sighting of male matches the description of suspect wanted in the murder of lieutenant Daniel Lang.
That's the roller rink.
Dispatch, dispatch, this is Sergeant Stevens.
- Have I reached you correctly? - Affirmative.
You have done the same request and immediately.
Oh, come on.
Let's move.
Blood.
Looks like the cop killer is back.
Alright, we go in together this time.
Jarod, you wait for my call.
- What the hell is he doing? - Forget it.
Let's move.
Cook, stay with me at point.
Mooney, cover our flank.
Yes, sir.
- I don't like this.
- Neither do I.
Let's go.
Ready? Go.
Jarod, this is Stevens.
Respond.
Respond, damn it.
That's an order! - Where did he go? - I'll take care of him later.
Keep your eyes open.
Move on.
Hold your fire.
It's a damn target.
What is this? He is not going down.
I am shooting straight at him Blanks.
They are blanks.
Somebody switched the armor.
Who the hell are you? You know me.
I am the man each of you created.
The shooter in a baseball cap with a goatee.
The man you made up to cover for the murder of Dan Lang.
What are you talking about? Lieutenant Lange found about your little pay offs from Petrovka.
When he confronted you, you killed him with armor piercing shells.
Cop killers.
It just so happens, I brought some with me tonight.
- Stop.
- You set up Lang, didn't you? - It was Stevens idea.
- Shut up, Mooney.
You left two boys without a father, for what? For money? Better hope you don't miss.
We'll blow you away just like we did to Lang.
Did you get all that, Liz? Every last word.
You got the switch this one, didn't you? What are you gonna do, Jarod? Shoot me? If I go, you go.
It is over, Stevens.
He, he is right.
It's gonna enough killing, Stevens.
- I'm glad they finally got the hold of Dan's parents.
- Yeah.
They'll take the boys back to Seattle.
They seem like very nice people.
Jordan and Cody are going to miss you.
The Lang said I can visit anytime I want it.
I just wish they are living closer.
Got a lot of tell them about their father.
You could always move there.
And do what? It's not like they need another dispatcher in Seattle.
Oh, it's funny you should mention that.
Because I put a call into the Seattle PD, and just so happen they're looking for a good person to fill a recently vacated switchboard position.
So if you want the job, starting in two weeks.
Thank you.
Oh, no.
Thank you.
For what? Making sure those kids knew that someone cares about them.
- Are you here going home? - Grandpa and grandma have a farm.
With real horses.
Real horses, wow.
Listen¡­ - Will you make me a promise? - What? No matter how busy you are, how crazy your life is getting in the future, always remember, that your dad loved you very much.
You promise? Promise.
Promise.
Where is Syd? I haven't seen him all the morning.
He said he had something important to do at Albany.
Hey, look, Miss Parker.
Don't.
Back off.
Hey, look.
It's chia me.
Little less hair than I am used to.
Well, like I said before, you never look better.
Nice job.
See you next time, okay? Erica, I was gonna talk to you about the principles.
I think you essays could be a little bit more in depth.
Maybe you could look at the third chapter, okay? There is no job more important than teaching.
That's what they keep telling me.
Enjoy your life.
It passes so quickly.
I'm sorry.
Do I know you from somewhere? I am afraid you don't.
This is Sydney.
Did you find your son? Yes, I did.
Did you remember a long time ago, I asked you if a family would ever want me? I do.
I thought it took blood to bond people.
But I've learned it also takes something else.
It takes love.
I hope you are right, Jarod.
