and they're looking

for donations.

I remember Lewis had

that foosball table

he used to play on night and day

when he was a kid.

We're not sure what we're

doing with that yet.

Yeah.

Brendan, right?

I'm Detective Russell Dwyer.

I work for the county.

Ever since I heard that Stubbs

took you in.

You've been in the system

long enough to know

that your record isn't

gonna fold up neatly

and disappear on you.

I mean, conditional discharge

where they seal your records,

that's for misdemeanors.

Drunk and disorderly,

whacking mailboxes

with a baseball bat.

But that's not you.

Now, I know what

you're thinking,

another cop hassling me

for no good reason,

but I have a reason.

I am a stat man, Brendan.

You into fantasy football

or baseball?

Oh, you should try it.

It's a good distraction.

Now, I love it because

it's all stats

and the guys that are

really great at it,

well, they learn how to dig

through all the useless data

and find what's

really important.

I checked the recidivism

statistics on that boys club

you spent the last

three years in.

Do you know what

recidivism means?

It's a 50 cent word that means

messing up again.

Do you know the recidivism rate

of those rats

that came out of that hole

you were in?

90% arrested within

two years of release.

Nine out of ten and that's

why I'm here, Brendan.

Nothing personal,

just the stats.

Now the Stubbs,

they're good folks.

Never took a shortcut

in their lives.

And they had a son.

He was a cop.

He was killed in the line of

duty, routine traffic stop.

Guy shot him dead on the side

of the highway.

They don't need any more

heartache.

Yes, sir.

I will be seeing you, Brendan.

I heard some kids talking

about you at school today.

I guess they found a story

about a Brendan King arrested

in a drug raid in the city

about three years ago.

If you're uncomfortable talking

about it, I completely...

No, it's cool.

Anyway, I wouldn't worry

if it gets out.

Girls love a bad boy.

They love the challenge to

reform a rebellious boy.

No, they've done studies

on it, man. (CHUCKLES)

Did a car just go off

the road up there?

Wait, Brendan, stop the car!

[MUSIC]

Whoa.

Hey!

Hey, you gotta be careful, man.

[MUSIC]

Hey. (BANGING)

Call for help!

[COUGHING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[COUGHING]

Hey, you okay?

Sorry, it's gonna be okay,

I'm gonna get you outta here.

One, two, three.

Ow!

- She gonna be okay?

- She's gonna be all right.

- Could you give us a minute?

- Sure, no problem.
