All by Her Selfie
- Ohh! - Give me the ball.
- First First, McNally, we drink.
- This isn't a drinking game, and that was my point.
- Well, you know what? Life is a drinking game, McNally, and you have been phoning it in.
There.
Down Down this.
Down it now.
Sam Swarek.
Unh-unh-unh.

This man needs a word.
Somebody get this man a word, any word.
And a drink.
Let's get a drink.
- No, thanks.
My car's running.
- All right.
Excuse me.
You, Peck, take my spank handle.
- Ooh.
- Go forth.
I shall return.
Ooh! Inspector, sorry.
I burn energy when I compete.
- Well, I've got a new shirt for you.
I've decided on the new staff sergeant.
- No.
No, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, nah, I, uh, I got to train that rookie.
- Someone else can train him.
- John I'm not a white shirt.
I'm a street cop.
I'm one of the boys.
That's something that I love about myself.
- Everybody likes that about you.
That's why you're my guy.
They respect you.
You having a good time? - Yeah.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Wha - Psst.
Don't shoot.
It's just me.
Guess what.
- What? - We're getting a new acting staff sergeant.
- Really? Who? - It's gonna be Oliver.
I mean, nobody knows that, but Mm, can I have your water? Mmm.
Okay and another thing, we have a new rookie, and Oliver was supposed to train him, but now he can't.
So, tonight was just, like, one big mystery with no detective there to solve it.
By the way, when are you coming back to work? We need to break you out of here, man.
You need to be free.
- I think you should do it.
- Get you out of here right now? Yeah, man.
- No, I think you should train the rookie.
- Oh, yeah, great idea.
- You'd be good.
- Mm-hmm, for sure.
I'm drunk.
- Well, you won't be drunk tomorrow.
- I would be really good at it, actually.
- Yeah.
- Probably the best.
- Your feet are freezing.
- No, they're sweaty.
I've been competing all night.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- I'm interrupting, right? - No, no, no, no.
That's okay.
I was just, you know popping by.
- No.
What - So, good night.
Don't let the bedbugs bite.
Say a prayer, you know? All that good stuff.
- Sam doesn't know what a prayer is.
- What do you mean? I've said some prayers in my day.
Yeah, right.
- Okay, so I'm gonna go.
- Okay, well, I guess I should say good-bye now, then, 'cause I got to head out tomorrow.
- Oh.
Okay.
Well, I mean, I can give you a ride.
- Yeah? - No.
I don't have a car.
- You can take my truck.
- Okay.
- Okay? - That would be great.
Seriously.
My train leaves at eight.
- Good.
See you tomorrow, hmm? - See you tomorrow.
- Bye.
- What? - Hey.
What's going on? - Oh, I just dropped my go-bag.
- A lot of go in your bag.
- Are you hittin' on me? - You're the new rookie.
- Yeah.
How'd you know? Detective, right? - Not quite.
Welcome to 15.
- Ah, put it in a cage, Peck.
Come on, buddy.
Yep.
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you.
Yes.
I feel very special.
It's a wonderful day.
Uh, I would like to introduce our newest recruit here at 15.
This is Duncan Moore.
There you go.
Great.
Okay, so you're part of a family now, rookie.
I'm sure you know what that means.
- No.
- No? We do not have to like you.
We don't have to be nice to you.
And we can make fun of you whenever we want.
Because when it really comes down to it, we'll always have your back.
- And I have yours, sir.
- All right.
Uh, okay, so, um first day of a new rotation.
You, uh, see who Your assignments are up on the board.
And that's who you'll be riding with for the day.
Uh, okay, that's it.
You're dismissed.
Off you go.
Be good cops.
Come here, Moore.
- Oliver.
- Yes? - Sorry.
Staff Sergeant Shaw.
- Yeah? - I can do it.
- Do what? - Train the rookie, sir.
- I don't think that's a good idea, McNally.
- I can do it.
Okay? I thought long and hard about it last night when I was when I couldn't sleep.
- It's a big responsibility to train a cop.
- I don't want to train a cop.
I want to train a super cop.
- Sold.
- What's the problem, Shaw? - She's great.
I trained her.
Sure.
- That settles it then.
- Great.
Come on, rookie.
Grab your go-bag.
Let's rock.
- Get me McNally's personnel file.
- Yeah.
- This is a big moment.
First time heading to the squad car.
- Yeah.
- Do you mind? - No.
- Thank you.
Mm.
Hey, you know, I'm I'm really happy that I'm being taught by a woman.
You know, I I just feel like I could be more myself.
Like I I don't have to pretend to be all macho and act like I'm not nervous.
- Mm.
And this is my first day, too, as a T.
O.
- Are Are you nervous? - Yeah, a bit.
I mean, I feel like I have so much to tell you, but I don't want to bombard you with information.
- Oh, no.
Bombard me.
Bombard me.
Hey, are you into self-feedback? - I don't know what that is.
- Okay, well, that's that's something that we practiced in one of our seminar courses at college where surprise, surprise the prof was a woman.
But it's pretty self-explanatory.
Each participant provides feedback on their own performance.
So, instead of, you know, you grading me, I tell you how I've done and and how you've done.
And you do the same, of course.
- Oh, okay.
Well, here there's protocol, and I just write the report myself.
- Right, right.
Message received.
But you can bet that rule was made a man.
Good morning.
- Today has to be an eight-hour day.
- Okay.
- But I got to catalogue all of this.
Plus, I had to take statements from two witnesses on the Krizanc case even though they're full of it 'cause we all know Joey Nelson did it.
- I can file that stuff for you if you want.
- What, Guns and Gangs not keeping you busy? - It's one of the downsides of being so good.
I'm on top of my paperwork, so now I got nothing to do but drink coffee and check out the ladies.
- Now, I can handle a humble-brag if it means you will take all this off my plate for me.
- Yeah.
No problem.
I owe you.
Eight-hour day.
Eight-hour day.
If I keep saying it, it'll happen, right? - I think I can.
I think I can.
I think I can.
- Okay, you're gonna observe me.
I want you to listen to what I'm gonna say, and you're gonna do what I tell you to do.
- What What is happening right now? - Oh, sorry.
Um, I'm just I'm just sending my boy the shot.
Me in a uniform.
- Yeah, okay.
Pop quiz.
Okay? Traffic stop.
What is the first thing you're gonna do before you approach that car? - Uh, do a quick scan and then - Wrong.
Call me.
A man pulls a knife.
- I shoot him.
- You're just gonna shoot him? You're not gonna talk to him, try to get him to drop the weapon first? - Absolutely.
- Oh, okay.
What are you gonna say? - Put your hands up before I shoot you! - Never mind.
Just call me, all right? - Okay.
- If there's a robbery, call me.
You see a drug deal go down, you're gonna call me.
You see a kid fall off a tricycle, call me.
I am your training officer, okay? So, no matter what happens, you're gonna do what? - Assess the situation - Oh, my God! Call me.
- Right.
Gotcha.
I just I thought it was a trick question.
1504, we've got a possible break and enter at Pawn Kings.
The door's open, and there's broken glass inside.
- What are you gonna do? - Call you? - Answer the radio.
- Pawn Kings.
Here we go.
- Hey, wait! Whoa, you always stay behind me.
- Okay that looks like a dead dude's legs.
- Sir? - Yeah? - Sir, you got to wake up.
Hi.
What are you doing in here? - Uh, right, uh last night Life presents a gift.
Take the gift and be grateful.
Gifts will come again.
The door was open.
It was cold out.
- Come on, let's get you up.
Okay.
Anybody else in here? - No.
- Did you take anything? - Feel free to search me.
I don't think there's anything.
But I drink too much.
- A haiku man.
I like haiku.
I'm gonna need your full name and address.
- My name's Yosa Buson.
- You have any ID on you? - I don't.
B-u-s-o-n.
Don't have an address.
I use the shelter on Halliday.
- Can I talk to you for a minute? - Excuse me.
- Um, even if he didn't break in, it's still illegal entry.
- You're looking for a mystery but there is none.
Look, he's homeless, okay? He came in from the cold.
Officer Moore is gonna search you.
If he doesn't find anything, you're free to go.
I want you to see if you can track down the owner.
I'm gonna clear the rest of the building.
- Mm-hmm.
Can you please put your arms up? You don't have any sharp objects in your pockets, do you? Cool.
Thank you.
Okay, Mr.
Buson, stay out of trouble.
Drink some water.
- Duncan, come down here.
I think we found him.
He's dead.
- No way.
This is my first homicide.
Can I take a - No.
- Okay.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hold up.
Victim's name is Bill Power, 52.
He owns the place.
We entered at 9 a.
m.
, and the door was already ajar.
- Anyone here? - Yes.
- He was fifty-something.
He said his name was Yosa Buson, and he has no fixed address.
- Where is he? - Well, we kind of let him go.
What "we"? Your rookie "we"? - Yeah.
No.
Training Officer "we.
" Me.
- First responder to a murder scene, you let the suspect walk? - I didn't know the body was downstairs.
I mean, I thought this guy just came off the street from the cold.
- Find him! It's got to be an eight-hour day.
Get off that thing.
Eight hours, okay? - Okay.
Duncan, let's go.
I looked up Yosa Buson.
- He in the system? - Yeah, he's a famous Japanese haiku poet from the 18th century.
- Yeah, that's impossible.
He'd be like 300 years old by now.
- Not only did we let him go, but we fell for a fake name.
- Well, technically, you you let him go.
I wanted to book him, but you - Here's another quiz.
How do you find a homeless man without a name? - We know what, uh, what shelter he's at.
- Shelters are for night.
It's daytime.
- Okay think of the common traits.
Um, he likes haiku, named himself after a Japanese guy, and, well, he smells.
He's a Buddhist.
Okay, we call up all the Buddhist temples in town and find out if he's eating little, tiny leaves in the basement.
- Stop.
Hey, this is Officer McNally.
Can you guys help me track down a guy in his 50s, scruffy.
He goes by the name Yosa Buson.
Teamwork.
Okay? This is the foundation of policing.
The police force.
It's your lucky day, McNally.
Got a guy matching that description at Dundas and Greenwood.
- Hey, can you do me a favor? Can you box him up and take him down to the station for me? - Sure thing.
You owe me.
Thank you.
All right.
Anything interesting in the paper? Mm not really.
- You know, when I go visit Dad, I bring the paper sometimes, and we'll go through the headlines, and he actually likes to read stuff from the business section.
Right, I forgot.
I'm not supposed to bring him up.
- I'm gonna go to the cafeteria and get myself a coffee.
- No, you wait there.
I'll get it.
- Are you sure? - Yup.
That's what I'm here for help you out, make small talk.
What else would I be here for? - Hey.
How's it going? - There is a bright side to every dark corner.
At least now I'm warm.
- You wasted my time.
You said your name was Yosa.
Who are you, really? - Sheldon.
- Nice to meet you, Sheldon.
The detective will be with you shortly.
- Mild traumas to the face and here.
Trauma to the chest.
- So, I'm thinking he was beaten to death.
- Nah, that didn't kill him.
See? Looks like he was struggling to get loose.
Might have been left here alone for a while.
So, then, what was it? Diaphoresis.
Cadaver smells of sweat and smoke.
Yeah, poor dentition.
Guy was a heavy smoker.
We got a dead guy duct taped to a chair.
Please don't tell me he died of smoking.
- There are signs of peripheral vascular disease, which can lead to a myocardial infarction.
- A heart attack.
- That's my guess.
Won't know for sure until I get him on the slab.
- So, how long ago did he die? - I'd say five, six hours.
You ready to bag him? - Oh, yeah.
Let's do it.
What do you got? - Pawn tickets from the last month.
I'm gonna start by calling everybody who was in here yesterday.
- It'll take a while to run through the inventory to see what was stolen, but I'm assuming he was looking for jewelry.
This is for you.
Looks like he used this to break it.
There's glass all over it.
- Oh.
Well, let's get some prints.
We find our golfer, we find our killer.
Did you find Bill Power's next of kin? - We're on our way to talk to his wife.
Trace, I don't think he did it.
He did lie about his name.
- Why would he tie a guy up, leave him to die, and then curl up on the floor to go to sleep? - Well, maybe he didn't, but you get his prints? - Yeah, we did.
- All right.
You go to Pawn Kings often? - I only pawn there when I don't want the things back.
He can't be trusted.
- That's right.
Heard you were a fan of the haiku.
Was Bill Power at the store last night when you went in? - Don't think I saw him, but, then, I drank a bottle.
Memory's foggy.
- Do you know of anybody who might have an issue with him? And please use as many syllables as you'd like.
- I pawned a medallion there once.
I didn't know what it was.
He gave me $5.
Guy turned around and sold it the next day for 2,000 bucks.
So, yeah, I'd say a few people had an issue with him because Bill Power was a cheat.
- Can I take the lead on this? - No.
You can observe.
- Look, I've observed, okay? We did a dozen practice death notifications at the academy, and I breezed through it.
Now I need to get in the game for real.
- Fine, but you need to be clear and to the point.
- Mm-hmm.
- What are you doing? - Fueling up.
- Sorry, what? - Fueling up.
- Are you okay? - Got a peanut stuck in my throat.
Okay.
You know what? Maybe I should just go in alone.
- No, no, no.
I got some coconut water back in the car.
Do you mind? - Yes.
- Hurry up, all right? If she sees us out here, it's not good.
- Just hold on one second.
All the blood rushing to my head.
- Hi.
Can I help you? - Um, sorry, ma'am.
It's your husband.
- Are you Mrs.
Power? - Right, are you Mrs.
Power? Mara Power? - Yes.
Why? What's happened to Bill? - Ma'am.
Ma'am.
- Okay, you need to go wait in the car.
- What's going on? - I'm just nervous.
This is my This is my first death notification.
- Your first Oh, my God.
So I'm sorry.
Could we please go inside? - Let's just go inside.
Dear God.
What happened? I mean, how could this have happened? He was just at work.
- We're still trying to figure that out.
In the meantime, is there anybody that you could call? - Duncan, could you get a glass of water, please? - Mm-hmm.
- We just We just had dinner together last night.
How am I supposed to feel? I don't know what to do.
What do I with this stuff? - Now could you grab Mrs.
Power a glass of water? - Of course, yeah.
- May I ask what all this is for? - He sells some things online.
From the store.
- Mara, I hate to ask you this, but did Bill have any enemies? Anybody who was upset with him? - No.
No, not that I know of.
- Okay.
- You know, I worked the night shift last night.
When I came home this morning, I noticed that the bed was made.
He never makes the bed.
I thought he was just being sweet.
- I'm just gonna turn it off.
- Would you please just go? Please just - Yes.
- Just go.
Just - Duncan.
- Just get out of here.
- I'm sorry.
- We just talked to half a dozen people who did business at Pawn Kings yesterday.
We got nothing.
- Nick's bringing in Meghan Kelly, last customer on record.
She's got two priors in our system for possession of cocaine.
- Let me know what she has to say.
- Officer Diaz, is that short for diazepam? - Actually I'm kind of like the opposite of Valium.
- According to this receipt, you sold some DVDs yesterday at 5:17 p.
m.
- Yes, I sold my stash of porn hoping to buy it back later.
- Did you notice anyone else in the store with you while you were there? - Yeah, there were a few people in and out.
- Did you notice anything unusual? - Unusual how? - Unusual.
Was anybody aggravated, angry, upset? - Yeah, actually.
There was this one guy who was pissed 'cause Bill sold his ring before the contract date.
- Do you remember the details of their conversation? - Uh, I don't know.
The guy said it had only been and Bill said, "Well, it's been 30 on account of the holiday, and you're not factoring in the first day," or I don't know.
Anyway, the guy was freaking out, and he had the money to buy back the ring and everything.
- Are you sure he said 26 days? - Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sure he said 26.
- Why? - Because I lost my virginity on June 26th.
Not of this year, of course, but that number's just always stuck out for me, I guess.
- I'm gonna go get Traci.
Here.
This is in case you get hungry.
- Look, you can't blame me for coughing.
- I told you to go wait in the car.
- No, you said, "Why don't you go wait in the car?" I didn't know that was an order.
- That doesn't sound like an order to you? - "Officer, go wait in the car," that's an order.
Yours was a suggestion.
Wait, that's that's not gonna go on my report, is it? The whole death note thing? - Okay, you realize that you're not saving any time by calling it a death note, right? - Okay, no - Just hold on.
Hey, Trace.
- Oh.
Hey.
We got those prints in on the golf club from forensics.
- Great.
Anybody in the system? - Yeah.
Somebody by the name of Duncan Moore.
His paws were all over it, so if our guy's prints were on it anywhere, they can't be found now.
Now this case is gonna take days, weeks, months.
- Trace, I'm sorry.
- I didn't know that he was gonna contaminate the scene.
- I just got off the phone with the victim's wife, and she is gonna lodge a complaint about your trip to her house this afternoon.
And maybe rightly so.
Okay? She wants an apology.
What happened? - He's new.
- He's your rookie.
- He's learning.
- He's your rookie! - Okay.
It's my fault.
- I I tried to tell you, man.
You know, I want to leave him on a desk.
I want to feel him out, see who's right to train this kid, but you jumped in.
- I know.
- Is that how you're training him? - No.
I told him to call me.
- He's not to call you.
He's to stand right beside you.
Okay.
Um, you ever heard that that saying "Slow down, we're in a hurry"? Okay, when you were a rook, we'd roll up to a hot call.
Remember? I'd I'd take a shot of coffee or I'd pull out a sandwich and have a bite? - Mm-hmm.
- That was just to give you a moment to breathe and give you just a second to collect yourself before we went in.
You know, Andy, this is this is dominoes.
He fails, you fail.
If you fail, I fail, and I I can't fail.
Not with this kid.
- Why not with this kid? - Moore is his mother's name.
His stepfather is Alonzo Santana.
- Whoa, whoa, why wouldn't you tell me that? - Uh, I am telling you now.
- Well, now what am I supposed to do? - You keep him on a short leash.
You just figure it out.
You do it.
- Look, I had no idea that the golf club was evidence.
That's the point! Why did you pick it up? I golf.
That's what golfers do.
- Well, why didn't you tell me that your stepfather is the commissioner? Hm? - What would that change if I told you that? - That's not the point.
You should have told me.
- Okay, well, I think it would be unprofessional for me to just throw his name around and and act like I should get special treatment.
Okay? It's irrelevant.
- It's not.
- Look, I'm sorry to disagree with you, but I think it is.
Okay? I'm here on my own merit, and he's not even my real father anyway.
Look, I'm sorry, okay? I shouldn't have touched the golf club.
You're right to get on me about it.
Where Where are we going? - We're going to apologize to the victim's wife.
Get in.
- Looks like the only thing hawked 26 days ago at Pawn King were musical instruments.
French horns, violins.
What, did the symphony go bankrupt? - You know I think I got something.
An antique hockey ring pawned by a Ray Spencer, - Ray Spencer? - Yeah.
I wouldn't eat those if I was you.
- Why? Were they in the toilet? - No.
- Then, I don't really care.
I'm hungry.
- Probably sprinkled with roofies.
All right, he's got a record.
Possession of stolen property.
Still lives with his parents.
- Hey, Bill Power is still selling that ring.
- Was.
- No, is.
It's posted up on the victim's profile.
Starting bid at $10,000.
Auction doesn't close another two days.
- You know what, Boss? It's my screw-up.
Needs to be my apology.
- Well, I have to go in there with you.
- I'll only be concerned with impressing you.
Okay? It's not easy saying sorry.
Especially in front of an audience.
Give me another chance.
- You need to make it short and sweet.
I want you to go in there and apologize sincerely and get right back out here.
- Okay.
- Hello? It's Officer Moore.
Can I come in? I'm I'm coming in.
Mrs.
Power, it's Officer Moore.
I was here earlier today.
Hey.
Uh, who are you? - I'm Ray.
- Oh.

Power around? - No, she's out.
- Um Sorry, I just let myself in.
The door was open.
Are you a relative or something? - Uh I'm a friend.
- Oh.
Um, yeah, I just really need to talk to her.
You know, I feel really bad.
Came here earlier to let her know that her husband passed away, and I screwed it up.
- Who died? - Her husband down at the pawn shop.
I'm I'm really sorry if you're close.
- No, he didn't die.
- No, no, he did.
Um, I'm sorry, can you tell me, what is your name again? - Look, I'm just looking for my ring.
Okay? I went to the store, and I tried to buy the thing back, and the guy wouldn't even give it back to me.
Okay? - Okay.
I'm I'm starting to put this together now.
You you were the guy that broke into the pawn shop.

- Yeah.
Okay, just do me a favor.

So, why is that? It hadn't even been 30 days.
- Okay, well, why is the ring so special? - My dad has had to bail me out ofjail.
He has had to wrestle me to the ground while I was high.
He's had to fight my battles with drug dealers.
But I had never seen him cry until I did this to him.
So, I don't even care what happens to me.
I just really want him to get his ring back.
- This it? - Yeah.
- I'm gonna give you this, but you have to put the sword down now.
This is what you came here for, right? But I have to take you in.
Now turn around.
Put your hands behind your back.
- It was a 1918 Allan Cup hockey ring.
Spencer's grandfather's.
The poor dummy hawked it for a hundred bucks.
Bill Power is selling it online for $10,000.
- Wow.
- Guess he thought a drug addict wouldn't come back for it.
- Is it weird that I feel sorry for Ray? - No.
That's you.
I suppose it's the same reason you ended up with him.
- Yeah, something like that.
- Uh, this could be an eight-hour day.
- What is the deal with this eight-hour-day thing? - Just tired of breaking promises.
- Yeah.
- I had it under control.
- No, you didn't.
- I did.
- If I hadn't walked in there when I did, you would have shot him.
You were in a rush wanting to be a hero.
- I was following protocol.
- Call me! That's what I told you to do.
You know, I don't care how great you think you are.
I don't care who your stepdad is.
I don't care how many excuses or peanuts you have stuck in your throat.
You are not ready to be on your own in that uniform.
You need me! If you don't lean on me, you're gonna fail.
Do you understand that? - You gonna write me up? - Maybe, maybe not.
Depends.
- On what? - How much you annoy me on the drive home.
- Why did why did you come, anyway? - A cop showed up at my door at midnight, and I thought you were gonna die.
- Well here I am.
I didn't.
And you're still here.
- I don't know, Sam.
I guess I just thought maybe this could be an opportunity for you to be open.
- Open to what? - To us.
To the family.
- You're You're crazy.
- Oh, man can you ever hold a grudge.
- You know, you ended up with the forgiveness gene.
I only got the backbone gene.
Your ability to tolerate men like him is, well, it's amazing is what it is.
- Get over it, Sam! He's our father.
- Who art in heaven.
See? I do know a prayer.
Square, come on.
- Don't call me that.
- What do you mean don't call you that? I've always called you that.
- When we were a family.
- Sarah.
- Knock-knock.
- Who's there? Hey.
How'd it go? - Um Uh, it went great.
Hey, you guys want to take a group shot? You know, after my first day.
- Do it.
Yeah, that's fine.
- Sure.
- I really I really want to thank you guys for being my new family.
It means a lot.
And I want to give an individual shout-out to my T.

Good.
What's your address? - I think I can.
I think I can.
I knew you could.
I'll call you later.
- Yeah, any time.
Your smell woke me up.
I miss making dinner with you.
- Me too, which is strange, considering we only did it a couple times.
It's not like we live together.
It's not like we're married.
Too soon? - No.
- I know that you want an explanation.
Okay.
Here's the deal.
Normally I'm like a fun modern-day indie flick.
Agree? Okay.
But when I was with Wes, I was this dark, depressing period movie.
You know, like before the suffrage movement.
- That's it? That's That's your explanation? A weird movie analogy? Well, what does that even mean? - I I was trying to paint a picture with my words.
But if you want me to be more clear he was he was jealous and possessive.
And I let myself be controlled.
And I'm really embarrassed about it, which is why I didn't tell you.
Look Wes and I, we weren't good together.
But you and I so are.
And that's all that matters.
So please shut up and kiss me before I die.
- I wanted to check in on you.
How was your first day? Did you get along with your training officer? - Uh yeah, she's she's great.
You know? She's She's great.
- Is there something you want to tell me? - No.
No.
Today was good.
I'm just, uh just eager to make a difference, that's all.
- And I'm eager to see that happen.
- Good.
Well, um, I I got to go.
I'm, um, meeting some of the guys for some beers.
So I'll see ya.
Oh come on! Come on! Come on! We can still make it! Game can't start without their rock-and-roll left wing, Leo "The Lion" Nash.
- Yeah! - Let's go.
You can do it! Come on! Come on! Come on! So, train leaves at 8:00? - Yeah.
- Okay, good, good.
We still have quite a bit of time.
I like to budget, like, half an hour to get across town, you know, just in case something comes up construction, traffic.
You never know.
- Right, yeah.
No, it's good to, um be able to take our time.
- Mm-hmm.
Uh, Sam's gonna miss having you.
- Really? I mean, you never know with that guy, right? Do you? - Do I what? - Do you know what's going on in his head? What he's What he's feeling from one minute to the next? - I mean, he seems different these last few weeks.
Um, he seems more open.
- Hm.
Sam will never change.
He's my brother, and I love him, and I know he's reinvented himself, and he's saving lives and rescuing puppies, whatever.
But eventually life will throw you a pile of lemons, and when that day comes There's no lemonade.
Not with Sam.
He'll just keep hurting you, so be careful.
- First First, McNally, we drink.
- This isn't a drinking game, and that was my point.
- Well, you know what? Life is a drinking game, McNally, and you have been phoning it in.
There.
Down Down this.
Down it now.
Sam Swarek.
Unh-unh-unh.
Mnh-mnh! - Inspector.
Hi.
Hi.
Uh, you want to play? That's - No, no, but I need a word.
- All right, a word, a word.
This man needs a word.
Somebody get this man a word, any word.
And a drink.
Let's get a drink.
- No, thanks.
My car's running.
- All right.
Excuse me.
You, Peck, take my spank handle.
- Ooh.
- Go forth.
I shall return.
Ooh! Inspector, sorry.
I burn energy when I compete.
- Well, I've got a new shirt for you.
I've decided on the new staff sergeant.
- No.
No, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, nah, I, uh, I got to train that rookie.
- Someone else can train him.
- John I'm not a white shirt.
I'm a street cop.
I'm one of the boys.
That's something that I love about myself.
- Everybody likes that about you.
That's why you're my guy.
They respect you.
You having a good time? - Yeah.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Wha - Psst.
Don't shoot.
It's just me.
Guess what.
- What? - We're getting a new acting staff sergeant.
- Really? Who? - It's gonna be Oliver.
I mean, nobody knows that, but Mm, can I have your water? Mmm.
Okay and another thing, we have a new rookie, and Oliver was supposed to train him, but now he can't.
So, tonight was just, like, one big mystery with no detective there to solve it.
By the way, when are you coming back to work? We need to break you out of here, man.
You need to be free.
- I think you should do it.
- Get you out of here right now? Yeah, man.
- No, I think you should train the rookie.
- Oh, yeah, great idea.
- You'd be good.
- Mm-hmm, for sure.
I'm drunk.
- Well, you won't be drunk tomorrow.
- I would be really good at it, actually.
- Yeah.
- Probably the best.
- Your feet are freezing.
- No, they're sweaty.
I've been competing all night.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- I'm interrupting, right? - No, no, no, no.
That's okay.
I was just, you know popping by.
- No.
What - So, good night.
Don't let the bedbugs bite.
Say a prayer, you know? All that good stuff.
- Sam doesn't know what a prayer is.
- What do you mean? I've said some prayers in my day.
Yeah, right.
- Okay, so I'm gonna go.
- Okay, well, I guess I should say good-bye now, then, 'cause I got to head out tomorrow.
- Oh.
Okay.
Well, I mean, I can give you a ride.
- Yeah? - No.
I don't have a car.
- You can take my truck.
- Okay.
- Okay? - That would be great.
Seriously.
My train leaves at eight.
- Good.
See you tomorrow, hmm? - See you tomorrow.
- Bye.
- What? - Hey.
What's going on? - Oh, I just dropped my go-bag.
- A lot of go in your bag.
- Are you hittin' on me? - You're the new rookie.
- Yeah.
How'd you know? Detective, right? - Not quite.
Welcome to 15.
- Ah, put it in a cage, Peck.
Come on, buddy.
Yep.
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you.
Yes.
I feel very special.
It's a wonderful day.
Uh, I would like to introduce our newest recruit here at 15.
This is Duncan Moore.
There you go.
Great.
Okay, so you're part of a family now, rookie.
I'm sure you know what that means.
- No.
- No? We do not have to like you.
We don't have to be nice to you.
And we can make fun of you whenever we want.
Because when it really comes down to it, we'll always have your back.
- And I have yours, sir.
- All right.
Uh, okay, so, um first day of a new rotation.
You, uh, see who Your assignments are up on the board.
And that's who you'll be riding with for the day.
Uh, okay, that's it.
You're dismissed.
Off you go.
Be good cops.
Come here, Moore.
- Oliver.
- Yes? - Sorry.
Staff Sergeant Shaw.
- Yeah? - I can do it.
- Do what? - Train the rookie, sir.
- I don't think that's a good idea, McNally.
- I can do it.
Okay? I thought long and hard about it last night when I was when I couldn't sleep.
- It's a big responsibility to train a cop.
- I don't want to train a cop.
I want to train a super cop.
- Sold.
- What's the problem, Shaw? - She's great.
I trained her.
Sure.
- That settles it then.
- Great.
Come on, rookie.
Grab your go-bag.
Let's rock.
- Get me McNally's personnel file.
- Yeah.
- This is a big moment.
First time heading to the squad car.
- Yeah.
- Do you mind? - No.
- Thank you.
Mm.
Hey, you know, I'm I'm really happy that I'm being taught by a woman.
You know, I I just feel like I could be more myself.
Like I I don't have to pretend to be all macho and act like I'm not nervous.
- Mm.
And this is my first day, too, as a T.
O.
- Are Are you nervous? - Yeah, a bit.
I mean, I feel like I have so much to tell you, but I don't want to bombard you with information.
- Oh, no.
Bombard me.
Bombard me.
Hey, are you into self-feedback? - I don't know what that is.
- Okay, well, that's that's something that we practiced in one of our seminar courses at college where surprise, surprise the prof was a woman.
But it's pretty self-explanatory.
Each participant provides feedback on their own performance.
So, instead of, you know, you grading me, I tell you how I've done and and how you've done.
And you do the same, of course.
- Oh, okay.
Well, here there's protocol, and I just write the report myself.
- Right, right.
Message received.
But you can bet that rule was made a man.
Good morning.
- Today has to be an eight-hour day.
- Okay.
- But I got to catalogue all of this.
Plus, I had to take statements from two witnesses on the Krizanc case even though they're full of it 'cause we all know Joey Nelson did it.
- I can file that stuff for you if you want.
- What, Guns and Gangs not keeping you busy? - It's one of the downsides of being so good.
I'm on top of my paperwork, so now I got nothing to do but drink coffee and check out the ladies.
- Now, I can handle a humble-brag if it means you will take all this off my plate for me.
- Yeah.
No problem.
I owe you.
Eight-hour day.
Eight-hour day.
If I keep saying it, it'll happen, right? - I think I can.
I think I can.
I think I can.
- Okay, you're gonna observe me.
I want you to listen to what I'm gonna say, and you're gonna do what I tell you to do.
- What What is happening right now? - Oh, sorry.
Um, I'm just I'm just sending my boy the shot.
Me in a uniform.
- Yeah, okay.
Pop quiz.
Okay? Traffic stop.
What is the first thing you're gonna do before you approach that car? - Uh, do a quick scan and then - Wrong.
Call me.
A man pulls a knife.
- I shoot him.
- You're just gonna shoot him? You're not gonna talk to him, try to get him to drop the weapon first? - Absolutely.
- Oh, okay.
What are you gonna say? - Put your hands up before I shoot you! - Never mind.
Just call me, all right? - Okay.
- If there's a robbery, call me.
You see a drug deal go down, you're gonna call me.
You see a kid fall off a tricycle, call me.
I am your training officer, okay? So, no matter what happens, you're gonna do what? - Assess the situation - Oh, my God! Call me.
- Right.
Gotcha.
I just I thought it was a trick question.
1504, we've got a possible break and enter at Pawn Kings.
The door's open, and there's broken glass inside.
- What are you gonna do? - Call you? - Answer the radio.
- Pawn Kings.
Here we go.
- Hey, wait! Whoa, you always stay behind me.
- Okay that looks like a dead dude's legs.
- Sir? - Yeah? - Sir, you got to wake up.
Hi.
What are you doing in here? - Uh, right, uh last night Life presents a gift.
Take the gift and be grateful.
Gifts will come again.
The door was open.
It was cold out.
- Come on, let's get you up.
Okay.
Anybody else in here? - No.
- Did you take anything? - Feel free to search me.
I don't think there's anything.
But I drink too much.
- A haiku man.
I like haiku.
I'm gonna need your full name and address.
- My name's Yosa Buson.
- You have any ID on you? - I don't.
B-u-s-o-n.
Don't have an address.
I use the shelter on Halliday.
- Can I talk to you for a minute? - Excuse me.
- Um, even if he didn't break in, it's still illegal entry.
- You're looking for a mystery but there is none.
Look, he's homeless, okay? He came in from the cold.
Officer Moore is gonna search you.
If he doesn't find anything, you're free to go.
I want you to see if you can track down the owner.
I'm gonna clear the rest of the building.
- Mm-hmm.
Can you please put your arms up? You don't have any sharp objects in your pockets, do you? Cool.
Thank you.
Okay, Mr.
Buson, stay out of trouble.
Drink some water.
- Duncan, come down here.
I think we found him.
He's dead.
- No way.
This is my first homicide.
Can I take a - No.
- Okay.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hold up.
Victim's name is Bill Power, 52.
He owns the place.
We entered at 9 a.
m.
, and the door was already ajar.
- Anyone here? - Yes.
- He was fifty-something.
He said his name was Yosa Buson, and he has no fixed address.
- Where is he? - Well, we kind of let him go.
What "we"? Your rookie "we"? - Yeah.
No.
Training Officer "we.
" Me.
- First responder to a murder scene, you let the suspect walk? - I didn't know the body was downstairs.
I mean, I thought this guy just came off the street from the cold.
- Find him! It's got to be an eight-hour day.
Get off that thing.
Eight hours, okay? - Okay.
Duncan, let's go.
I looked up Yosa Buson.
- He in the system? - Yeah, he's a famous Japanese haiku poet from the 18th century.
- Yeah, that's impossible.
He'd be like 300 years old by now.
- Not only did we let him go, but we fell for a fake name.
- Well, technically, you you let him go.
I wanted to book him, but you - Here's another quiz.
How do you find a homeless man without a name? - We know what, uh, what shelter he's at.
- Shelters are for night.
It's daytime.
- Okay think of the common traits.
Um, he likes haiku, named himself after a Japanese guy, and, well, he smells.
He's a Buddhist.
Okay, we call up all the Buddhist temples in town and find out if he's eating little, tiny leaves in the basement.
- Stop.
Hey, this is Officer McNally.
Can you guys help me track down a guy in his 50s, scruffy.
He goes by the name Yosa Buson.
Teamwork.
Okay? This is the foundation of policing.
The police force.
It's your lucky day, McNally.
Got a guy matching that description at Dundas and Greenwood.
- Hey, can you do me a favor? Can you box him up and take him down to the station for me? - Sure thing.
You owe me.
Thank you.
All right.
Anything interesting in the paper? Mm not really.
- You know, when I go visit Dad, I bring the paper sometimes, and we'll go through the headlines, and he actually likes to read stuff from the business section.
Right, I forgot.
I'm not supposed to bring him up.
- I'm gonna go to the cafeteria and get myself a coffee.
- No, you wait there.
I'll get it.
- Are you sure? - Yup.
That's what I'm here for help you out, make small talk.
What else would I be here for? - Hey.
How's it going? - There is a bright side to every dark corner.
At least now I'm warm.
- You wasted my time.
You said your name was Yosa.
Who are you, really? - Sheldon.
- Nice to meet you, Sheldon.
The detective will be with you shortly.
- Mild traumas to the face and here.
Trauma to the chest.
- So, I'm thinking he was beaten to death.
- Nah, that didn't kill him.
See? Looks like he was struggling to get loose.
Might have been left here alone for a while.
So, then, what was it? Diaphoresis.
Cadaver smells of sweat and smoke.
Yeah, poor dentition.
Guy was a heavy smoker.
We got a dead guy duct taped to a chair.
Please don't tell me he died of smoking.
- There are signs of peripheral vascular disease, which can lead to a myocardial infarction.
- A heart attack.
- That's my guess.
Won't know for sure until I get him on the slab.
- So, how long ago did he die? - I'd say five, six hours.
You ready to bag him? - Oh, yeah.
Let's do it.
What do you got? - Pawn tickets from the last month.
I'm gonna start by calling everybody who was in here yesterday.
- It'll take a while to run through the inventory to see what was stolen, but I'm assuming he was looking for jewelry.
This is for you.
Looks like he used this to break it.
There's glass all over it.
- Oh.
Well, let's get some prints.
We find our golfer, we find our killer.
Did you find Bill Power's next of kin? - We're on our way to talk to his wife.
Trace, I don't think he did it.
He did lie about his name.
- Why would he tie a guy up, leave him to die, and then curl up on the floor to go to sleep? - Well, maybe he didn't, but you get his prints? - Yeah, we did.
- All right.
You go to Pawn Kings often? - I only pawn there when I don't want the things back.
He can't be trusted.
- That's right.
Heard you were a fan of the haiku.
Was Bill Power at the store last night when you went in? - Don't think I saw him, but, then, I drank a bottle.
Memory's foggy.
- Do you know of anybody who might have an issue with him? And please use as many syllables as you'd like.
- I pawned a medallion there once.
I didn't know what it was.
He gave me $5.
Guy turned around and sold it the next day for 2,000 bucks.
So, yeah, I'd say a few people had an issue with him because Bill Power was a cheat.
- Can I take the lead on this? - No.
You can observe.
- Look, I've observed, okay? We did a dozen practice death notifications at the academy, and I breezed through it.
Now I need to get in the game for real.
- Fine, but you need to be clear and to the point.
- Mm-hmm.
- What are you doing? - Fueling up.
- Sorry, what? - Fueling up.
- Are you okay? - Got a peanut stuck in my throat.
Okay.
You know what? Maybe I should just go in alone.
- No, no, no.
I got some coconut water back in the car.
Do you mind? - Yes.
- Hurry up, all right? If she sees us out here, it's not good.
- Just hold on one second.
All the blood rushing to my head.
- Hi.
Can I help you? - Um, sorry, ma'am.
It's your husband.
- Are you Mrs.
Power? - Right, are you Mrs.
Power? Mara Power? - Yes.
Why? What's happened to Bill? - Ma'am.
Ma'am.
- Okay, you need to go wait in the car.
- What's going on? - I'm just nervous.
This is my This is my first death notification.
- Your first Oh, my God.
So I'm sorry.
Could we please go inside? - Let's just go inside.
Dear God.
What happened? I mean, how could this have happened? He was just at work.
- We're still trying to figure that out.
In the meantime, is there anybody that you could call? - Duncan, could you get a glass of water, please? - Mm-hmm.
- We just We just had dinner together last night.
How am I supposed to feel? I don't know what to do.
What do I with this stuff? - Now could you grab Mrs.
Power a glass of water? - Of course, yeah.
- May I ask what all this is for? - He sells some things online.
From the store.
- Mara, I hate to ask you this, but did Bill have any enemies? Anybody who was upset with him? - No.
No, not that I know of.
- Okay.
- You know, I worked the night shift last night.
When I came home this morning, I noticed that the bed was made.
He never makes the bed.
I thought he was just being sweet.
- I'm just gonna turn it off.
- Would you please just go? Please just - Yes.
- Just go.
Just - Duncan.
- Just get out of here.
- I'm sorry.
- We just talked to half a dozen people who did business at Pawn Kings yesterday.
We got nothing.
- Nick's bringing in Meghan Kelly, last customer on record.
She's got two priors in our system for possession of cocaine.
- Let me know what she has to say.
- Officer Diaz, is that short for diazepam? - Actually I'm kind of like the opposite of Valium.
- According to this receipt, you sold some DVDs yesterday at 5:17 p.
m.
- Yes, I sold my stash of porn hoping to buy it back later.
- Did you notice anyone else in the store with you while you were there? - Yeah, there were a few people in and out.
- Did you notice anything unusual? - Unusual how? - Unusual.
Was anybody aggravated, angry, upset? - Yeah, actually.
There was this one guy who was pissed 'cause Bill sold his ring before the contract date.
- Do you remember the details of their conversation? - Uh, I don't know.
The guy said it had only been and Bill said, "Well, it's been 30 on account of the holiday, and you're not factoring in the first day," or I don't know.
Anyway, the guy was freaking out, and he had the money to buy back the ring and everything.
- Are you sure he said 26 days? - Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sure he said 26.
- Why? - Because I lost my virginity on June 26th.
Not of this year, of course, but that number's just always stuck out for me, I guess.
- I'm gonna go get Traci.
Here.
This is in case you get hungry.
- Look, you can't blame me for coughing.
- I told you to go wait in the car.
- No, you said, "Why don't you go wait in the car?" I didn't know that was an order.
- That doesn't sound like an order to you? - "Officer, go wait in the car," that's an order.
Yours was a suggestion.
Wait, that's that's not gonna go on my report, is it? The whole death note thing? - Okay, you realize that you're not saving any time by calling it a death note, right? - Okay, no - Just hold on.
Hey, Trace.
- Oh.
Hey.
We got those prints in on the golf club from forensics.
- Great.
Anybody in the system? - Yeah.
Somebody by the name of Duncan Moore.
His paws were all over it, so if our guy's prints were on it anywhere, they can't be found now.
Now this case is gonna take days, weeks, months.
- Trace, I'm sorry.
- I didn't know that he was gonna contaminate the scene.
- I just got off the phone with the victim's wife, and she is gonna lodge a complaint about your trip to her house this afternoon.
And maybe rightly so.
Okay? She wants an apology.
What happened? - He's new.
- He's your rookie.
- He's learning.
- He's your rookie! - Okay.
It's my fault.
- I I tried to tell you, man.
You know, I want to leave him on a desk.
I want to feel him out, see who's right to train this kid, but you jumped in.
- I know.
- Is that how you're training him? - No.
I told him to call me.
- He's not to call you.
He's to stand right beside you.
Okay.
Um, you ever heard that that saying "Slow down, we're in a hurry"? Okay, when you were a rook, we'd roll up to a hot call.
Remember? I'd I'd take a shot of coffee or I'd pull out a sandwich and have a bite? - Mm-hmm.
- That was just to give you a moment to breathe and give you just a second to collect yourself before we went in.
You know, Andy, this is this is dominoes.
He fails, you fail.
If you fail, I fail, and I I can't fail.
Not with this kid.
- Why not with this kid? - Moore is his mother's name.
His stepfather is Alonzo Santana.
- Whoa, whoa, why wouldn't you tell me that? - Uh, I am telling you now.
- Well, now what am I supposed to do? - You keep him on a short leash.
You just figure it out.
You do it.
- Look, I had no idea that the golf club was evidence.
That's the point! Why did you pick it up? I golf.
That's what golfers do.
- Well, why didn't you tell me that your stepfather is the commissioner? Hm? - What would that change if I told you that? - That's not the point.
You should have told me.
- Okay, well, I think it would be unprofessional for me to just throw his name around and and act like I should get special treatment.
Okay? It's irrelevant.

Bill Power is selling it online for $10,000.
- Wow.
- Guess he thought a drug addict wouldn't come back for it.
- Is it weird that I feel sorry for Ray? - No.
That's you.
I suppose it's the same reason you ended up with him.
- Yeah, something like that.
- Uh, this could be an eight-hour day.
- What is the deal with this eight-hour-day thing? - Just tired of breaking promises.
- Yeah.
- I had it under control.
- No, you didn't.
- I did.
- If I hadn't walked in there when I did, you would have shot him.
You were in a rush wanting to be a hero.
- I was following protocol.
- Call me! That's what I told you to do.

Do you understand that? - You gonna write me up? - Maybe, maybe not.
Depends.

You know, like before the suffrage movement.
- That's it? That's That's your explanation? A weird movie analogy? Well, what does that even mean? - I I was trying to paint a picture with my words.
But if you want me to be more clear he was he was jealous and possessive.
And I let myself be controlled.
And I'm really embarrassed about it, which is why I didn't tell you.
Look Wes and I, we weren't good together.
But you and I so are.
And that's all that matters.
So please shut up and kiss me before I die.

Um, he seems more open.
- Hm.
Sam will never change.
He's my brother, and I love him, and I know he's reinvented himself, and he's saving lives and rescuing puppies, whatever.
But eventually life will throw you a pile of lemons, and when that day comes There's no lemonade.
Not with Sam.
He'll just keep hurting you, so be careful.
