Bending the Rules Page #2
We want to go home."
- They've only been out a couple of hours.
- Mr. Gold, sit.
The jury is deadlocked.
I declare a mistrial.
Would you like to set the matter
for retrial?
Yes. Absolutely, yes.
Blades? I don't care what the jury did.
You're on leave until you deal
with Internal Affairs. Do you hear me?
Until I say so, you are not police.
Trust me, LT, when I'm through with IA,
they're gonna rush out...
...and get my name tattooed
across their butt cheeks.
- Give me five.
- Nice going.
- Hey, way to go.
- Good job.
- Congrats.
- Where's Gil Ott?
Was in Interview 4,
but Schaefer needed the room...
...so he took him over to the jail.
Want me to go get him?
No, I'll go.
Dinner to celebrate? I'm buying.
You're buying? Or is Gil buying?
Technically, yeah, Gil's buying.
He was carrying the paper the cash
when I popped him.
Then some ape in a wool ski mask
came at me with a piece.
- He wanted this.
- Gil's delivering newspapers now?
There's numbers and letters
circled all over it.
Can you get Forensics to look at it?
It's some kind of code.
but Gold's closing was distracting.
Sure. Yeah, I'll check it out.
I'll go sit on Gil.
Blades strikes me
as a pretty unimpressive bad guy.
He's dirty.
So he skimmed a few bucks.
He got drunk and over did it in a bar.
Yes, exactly. We used to call that felony
larceny and assault with a deadly weapon.
I understand Internal Affairs
is going to water board him next week.
Trust cops to deal with cops?
- Just give it some thought.
- We're retrying it.
Wouldn't it be nice
if life was all blacks and whites?
Turns out, it's mostly grays.
- Is that supposed to mean something?
- I'm just trying to get you to see the forest.
Okay, I'm drowning in metaphors here.
Am I supposed to see the forest
or mostly grays?
Look, everything I know
comes from you.
A much younger and stupider me.
- I'm extremely happy.
the interim appointment as the DA.
You're kidding? Grant Stone?
- You're a great trial lawyer.
- I'm the senior deputy.
And everyone in the office thinks
you're an a**hole. So do the judges.
Most of the defense bar.
defense lawyers?
Everybody in the system
gets chewed up, Theo.
Including the poor bastards
we send to prison.
Grant Stone cares about the bad guys.
That makes him more qualified than me--
Theo. Take some time off.
Go home. Look in the mirror.
I need Gil Ott for an interview.
- Not here.
- Where is he?
Check again. Detective Schaefer
brought him earlier.
- Come see for yourself.
- I had a hold on the guy.
