- Oh, god, there ain't no 25.

- Yeah. Got to be 25 or more.

Enough for plastic surgery,

- My face is beautiful. Why change that?

- What you mean?

- Your mask came off. They saw you, nigga.

- It don't matter.

- I like my face. It's a work of art.

- Whatever you say.

Dr. Sorenson.

- Ruby.

- Ruby.

You missed our appointment

this morning.

I cannot approve your return to

the workplace until we talk.

Guys at the department are concerned

about your recent behavior.

The guys at the department?

The whole damn department

is gossiping about me.

Well,

how does that make you feel?

How's that make me feel?

F***ing fantastic.

Why don't you

tell me what happened

in your own words?

Okay.

Say it out loud,

or I'm gonna keep this.

Thought I was walking into

a controlled situation.

Instead, I found myself in the middle

of a meth lab with a pissed-off junkie.

- He assaulted you?

- He kicked my ass.

Okay?

Okay.

Meth labs aren't quiet.

Meth labs stink.

Someone knew the lab was there, and

someone was paid to look the other way.

I hear you.

Good. Good. So you know

I have to get back to work.

I have to figure this thing out.

'Cause this city is

crawling with dirty cops.

Do you hear that?

Bryant.

Okay.

So this is my partner

on the other line.

They found government-issued

bullets at a crime scene.

So can I go do my job, or do you

want to keep talking bullshit?

I'm on my way.

Thank you. I feel

so much better now.

Jennifer.

Morning, lieutenant.

So at 0427, a squad car

got a shots fired call

about the same time

we got a report

about a late-model sedan

speeding near old downtown.

The unit checking out

the shots fired

went into an alley off of third street

where they found two dead bodies.

These responding officers

report casings everywhere.

And I mean everywhere.

Oh, we'll take that.

Me and Cass.

No. I'm giving it

to Emerson and Flannigan.

You want Cagney and Lacey to take

it or you wanna get it solved?

All right, hotshot.

It's yours.

Yeah.

Let's go, partner.

Hey, say, nigga, is you high?

What the f*** are you doing?

Yeah, a little bit. We got

to control this case.

We control the case,

we control the evidence.

That might be smartest sh*t or

the dumbest sh*t you ever did.

It might be. The dumbest

sh*t was this morning.

Looking for this?

I'm looking for everything.

Mm. It's police-issued,

and there's more of 'em.

Looks like the same gun

killed the big guy.

Vincent downs, homicide.

Jennifer Bryant.

That's my partner,

Doug Dennison.

We're internal affairs.

Okay. So that's all you got, huh?

Government-issue?

This one's got an employee

ID from the Luxus casino.

The big guy?

He's a special snowflake.

Arrest records

going back 12 years.

- What happened to your face? -Why

don't you take a closer look?

It's just everybody's been

talking about your situation.

Talk of the town.

- What happened to your face?

- Nothing happened.

This is a face that pays

attention to details.

Speaking of details, I thought Emerson and

Flannigan were assigned to this case.

No, no. Maybe you

shouldn't think, Bryant.

- Me and my partner got the call.

- You did?

Anyway, I was just looking out

for a fellow officer. Mm.

You should put some ice on that.

Yeah.

Yeah. I'll get some for you too.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Nevada's finest.

I feel like I need a shower.

- What'd that guy want?

- He lied to me

when I asked

why he was on the case.

Vegas pd f***ing

with an la investigation.

- Got a bulldog.

- Yeah. Love it.

We should look

into that, Sherlock.

Clinical nurse specialist, 613.

Hey.

30. He's got

to be there by 4:00.

Sorry. I was grabbing you some flowers.

That's why I was running late.

Thank you.

What's that?

- I was gonna tell you, but you

kept canceling. -What is this?

It's an engagement ring.
