1. Sir, I'd like to talk to you
about the new task force
Copy !req
2. you're on the hiring
committee for.
Copy !req
3. The Special Tactical
Operations and Auxiliary
Copy !req
4. Strategic Response
Citywide Emergency
Copy !req
5. Investigative Unit
for Emergency Operations?
Copy !req
6. You know, I had
a hand in naming it.
Copy !req
7. And it's great, although you
might wanna try shortening it,
Copy !req
8. maybe using a cool acronym.
Copy !req
9. So the STOASRCEIUEO?
Copy !req
10. Hmm, you're right.
That is cool.
Copy !req
11. Sure, anyways, I know some
of the best cops in the city
Copy !req
12. are gonna be
on that task force,
Copy !req
13. and I would appreciate it
if you'd consider me for it.
Copy !req
14. Here's my resume. And
I thought it would be fun
Copy !req
15. if I rapped it.
Copy !req
16. But then I realized that
would be a terrible idea,
Copy !req
17. so I just wrote it
down normally.
Copy !req
18. It'll probably rhyme
a lot on accident.
Copy !req
19. Try not to focus on that.
Copy !req
20. "Jake Peralta is age 39,
but professionally,
Copy !req
21. "he's still in his prime..."
Copy !req
22. "If you ask me,
Copy !req
23. "he's New York's fine... est.
Charles enters."
Copy !req
24. Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat
Chucky B with the burner
Copy !req
25. Raining hot fire!
Copy !req
26. Charles, it's not a rap.
It never was.
Copy !req
27. Everyone's professional here.
Copy !req
28. Not the lyrics
we discussed either.
Copy !req
29. Anyways, sir,
I really think
Copy !req
30. that I deserve
this task force.
Copy !req
31. My clearance rate puts me
in the top 2% of all NYPD...
Copy !req
32. I am aware of your
qualifications, Peralta,
Copy !req
33. but I'm only allowed
to recommend one name
Copy !req
34. for the STOASRCEIUEO.
Copy !req
35. And you don't think the
acronym's just a little clunky?
Copy !req
36. Oh, no, it's quite catchy.
Copy !req
37. Look, I really feel like
I've got what it takes.
Copy !req
38. I'm experienced,
I'm hardworking,
Copy !req
39. and I'm unflappable
in the face of...
Copy !req
40. Oh, my God!
What was that?
Copy !req
41. Scully, are you hurt?
Copy !req
42. Is that blood?
It's glitter.
Copy !req
43. There was a box
on Jake's desk.
Copy !req
44. I opened it,
and it just exploded.
Copy !req
45. I can't feel my face.
Copy !req
46. And, not to be rude,
Copy !req
47. but is that something
you can normally feel?
Copy !req
48. Oh, right.
I guess I'm fine.
Copy !req
49. Jeffords,
evacuate the precinct.
Copy !req
50. I'll contact the bomb squad.
Copy !req
51. No, no, no, no, no, wait.
Copy !req
52. I think this actually
might have been a prank
Copy !req
53. that malfunctioned.
Look, the box was connected
Copy !req
54. to a tank of compressed air
under the desk.
Copy !req
55. It was supposed to shoot
glitter at whoever opened it,
Copy !req
56. but something
must have clogged
Copy !req
57. the pressure release valve,
and the tank exploded.
Copy !req
58. Wow. The silver lining
is no one got hurt.
Copy !req
59. And the lead lining
is that this prank
Copy !req
60. caused significant property
damage in the precinct.
Copy !req
61. Fair point, but we do shatter
a lot of glass around here.
Copy !req
62. Either it's Rosa
who's disappointed
Copy !req
63. in her Buzzfeed results...
Copy !req
64. I am not a Blanche.
Copy !req
65. Or Charles trying
to bro out...
Copy !req
66. Hut, think fast, dude.
Copy !req
67. Or just Terry gently
shutting a window
Copy !req
68. and forgetting
how strong he is.
Copy !req
69. And look at this.
Evidence was compromised.
Copy !req
70. Oh no, the shirt
from the Dekalb Street murder.
Copy !req
71. That's the only
hard evidence we have.
Copy !req
72. ADA Greene's already mad
we didn't find anything else.
Copy !req
73. Why is this
on your desk, Peralta?
Copy !req
74. I logged it out for trial,
Copy !req
75. but Officer Howard
Copy !req
76. is the one who got it
from the evidence locker.
Copy !req
77. Let's blame him.
He's always up to no good.
Copy !req
78. What? You don't even
know me.
Copy !req
79. Yes, I do.
Then what's my last name?
Copy !req
80. I thought it was Howard.
Copy !req
81. It's Booth.
My name is Howard Booth.
Copy !req
82. Okay, fine,
but just so you know,
Copy !req
83. the only thing I'm gonna
remember from this interaction
Copy !req
84. is that you put me
on the spot, so...
Copy !req
85. Sir, I know this is important,
but I kinda gotta go.
Copy !req
86. Cagney and Lacey's
recorder concert's
Copy !req
87. in an hour and I promised...
Copy !req
88. No one leaves until the
culprit is brought to justice.
Copy !req
89. But they're playing
Uptown Funk.
Copy !req
90. I wouldn't care if they
were playing actual music.
Copy !req
91. Whoever did this
was obviously
Copy !req
92. someone Peralta
pranked seeking revenge.
Copy !req
93. Who are his recent victims?
Copy !req
94. I'm sorry, but I'm the
Prankmaster General
Copy !req
95. and I take that role
very seriously.
Copy !req
96. Look at this.
There's a note.
Copy !req
97. It says, "Gotcha back, babe."
Copy !req
98. It was Amy.
Copy !req
99. Who else would
call Jake "babe"?
Copy !req
100. Charles went through
that year-long phase
Copy !req
101. where he called
everybody "babe."
Copy !req
102. Uh-huh.
I forget.
Copy !req
103. Did you guys like that?
No!
Copy !req
104. I still think it was Amy.
Copy !req
105. Obviously I'm
being framed,
Copy !req
106. probably by whomever
keeps accusing me.
Copy !req
107. No one's asking
the obvious question.
Copy !req
108. Why did Scully
open a package
Copy !req
109. on Peralta's desk?
Copy !req
110. Perhaps he was
setting up the prank,
Copy !req
111. and it blew up in his face.
Copy !req
112. No, I just saw a box
Copy !req
113. and I thought, "Oh,
cookies come in boxes."
Copy !req
114. I bet it wasn't anyone
in this squad.
Copy !req
115. That's exactly what
a guilty person would say.
Copy !req
116. So in order to prove
my innocence,
Copy !req
117. I just need to start
pointing fingers?
Copy !req
118. Mmm-hmm.
Fine, it was Amy.
Copy !req
119. Really? Because the "Babe"
thing screams you, Charles.
Copy !req
120. Oh, you wanna hear screaming?
Copy !req
121. It was Amy!
Copy !req
122. It was Charles!
Copy !req
123. Somebody confess!
Copy !req
124. Well, well, well.
Copy !req
125. What do we have here?
Copy !req
126. It appears a crime
has been committed,
Copy !req
127. and no one will confess.
Copy !req
128. Doing a German accent?
Copy !req
129. I was going for Belgian,
Copy !req
130. Like in Murder
on the Orient Express.
Copy !req
131. You sound like a Nazi.
Copy !req
132. Okay, not a great note to hear.
I'll just use my normal voice.
Copy !req
133. The point is a crime
has been committed,
Copy !req
134. and someone
in this room did it.
Copy !req
135. There are seven suspects
all with means and motive.
Copy !req
136. It appears what we have
is a classic whodunnit.
Copy !req
137. The phrase "whodunnit"
is a grammatical abomination.
Copy !req
138. Please use the proper term,
a "who has done this."
Copy !req
139. I will not, however,
in order to solve this case,
Copy !req
140. we need the very
finest of detectives,
Copy !req
141. one with a unique set
of skills, someone named...
Copy !req
142. Dittman!
I'll call Dittman!
Copy !req
143. Who?
Copy !req
144. I hear you need some help
with a "who has done this."
Copy !req
145. Squad, meet detective
Frank Dittman
Copy !req
146. of the San Francisco PD.
Copy !req
147. He is in town,
and we were supposed
Copy !req
148. to have lunch tomorrow,
but I asked him to come down
Copy !req
149. because I need an objective
set of eyes on this.
Copy !req
150. I can be objective.
Copy !req
151. Then tell me.
How do I look today?
Copy !req
152. Normal?
No. Dittman?
Copy !req
153. Bloated.
Thank you.
Copy !req
154. Dittman is the single
best detective
Copy !req
155. I have ever worked with.
Copy !req
156. Sadly, he was
unjustly fired
Copy !req
157. for investigating
corruption in the NYPD.
Copy !req
158. He hated dirty cops
so much
Copy !req
159. they used
to call him Mr. Clean.
Copy !req
160. Uh-huh, I'm sure that's the
only reason they called him that.
Copy !req
161. Because I'm bald?
You think that's funny?
Copy !req
162. I started shaving my head
20 years ago in solidarity
Copy !req
163. with my mother who was
undergoing chemotherapy.
Copy !req
164. Oh, look, I'm so sorry...
Copy !req
165. I'm obviously lying.
Copy !req
166. It's classic male
pattern baldness.
Copy !req
167. But now, based
on your reaction,
Copy !req
168. I know every single thing
about you as a person.
Copy !req
169. That can't be true.
It is. You're cooked.
Copy !req
170. All right, let's get started.
I want written statements
Copy !req
171. from every witness.
Copy !req
172. Personnel files
for the entire squad.
Copy !req
173. Of course, I need to have
this desk dusted for prints,
Copy !req
174. see if we get a hit
on the AFI system.
Copy !req
175. Somebody could maybe
get rid of those pigeons.
Copy !req
176. And, of course,
I'll need to see any surveillance video.
Copy !req
177. Unfortunately,
this area's a blind spot.
Copy !req
178. The camera that covers it
broke two weeks ago,
Copy !req
179. and it hasn't been fixed yet.
Copy !req
180. Really don't want me to see that
security footage, do you, Lieutenant?
Copy !req
181. Hmm, I wonder why.
Copy !req
182. I was just
stating the facts.
Copy !req
183. I didn't do anything
to the camera.
Copy !req
184. I never thought you did,
but now I know
Copy !req
185. every single thing
about you as a person.
Copy !req
186. Everyone back off.
Dittman has the scene.
Copy !req
187. Man, this sucks.
Copy !req
188. This case would have been
the perfect chance for you
Copy !req
189. to prove to Holt that you
deserve that task force.
Copy !req
190. Yeah. Maybe it still is.
Copy !req
191. Holt thinks Dittman's the best
detective he's ever worked with,
Copy !req
192. so what happens if I solve
the case before him?
Copy !req
193. Then I become
the best detective
Copy !req
194. Holt has ever worked with,
and he has to give me the task force.
Copy !req
195. Dittman thinks he knows
everything about me as a person,
Copy !req
196. but there's one thing
he doesn't know.
Copy !req
197. I'm about to take him down.
Copy !req
198. Oh, my God,
he's staring right at us.
Copy !req
199. Quick, pretend like
I was saying something else.
Copy !req
200. Yes, Jake, you were young
when you lost your virginity.
Copy !req
201. Thank you, Charles!
Copy !req
202. The DA's office called.
Greene is furious.
Copy !req
203. He thinks he may have to drop
all charges in the Dekalb case.
Copy !req
204. Whoever did this is facing
a massive suspension,
Copy !req
205. and there's no use hiding
Copy !req
206. because Dittman
will smoke you out.
Copy !req
207. Right, but is there any
way he could hurry it up?
Copy !req
208. So far it's just been
a lot of silent pacing.
Copy !req
209. Would you ask a heart
surgeon to hurry it up?
Copy !req
210. I mean, I would if he was
just walking around a room.
Copy !req
211. Okay, here's what we know.
The glitter bomb was placed
Copy !req
212. between 12:20 and 12:55.
Copy !req
213. All the suspects say
they were at lunch
Copy !req
214. and have an alibi
for that time,
Copy !req
215. which means
one of you is lying.
Copy !req
216. It was Terry.
Copy !req
217. Thanks for coming by, Dill,
but I got it from here.
Copy !req
218. You see, Terrence,
I couldn't help but notice
Copy !req
219. you're not wearing
suspenders today.
Copy !req
220. Odd, considering suspenders
are your entire personality.
Copy !req
221. Seems a little reductive.
Copy !req
222. I had a rough childhood,
Copy !req
223. but I lifted myself up
through arts and athletics.
Copy !req
224. You're
the suspenders guy.
Copy !req
225. Something felt fishy,
so Jakey went fishing,
Copy !req
226. and I caught me a fat one.
Copy !req
227. And look at that.
Copy !req
228. Terry's suspenders
stuffed into his desk drawer,
Copy !req
229. and there's glitter on them.
Copy !req
230. Red glitter.
Copy !req
231. Feels like that deserved
an audible gasp.
Copy !req
232. Thank you, Charles.
Copy !req
233. You got messy
setting up the prank.
Copy !req
234. You didn't want
anyone to see.
Copy !req
235. You put the suspenders
in your desk drawer.
Copy !req
236. Case closed.
Copy !req
237. Did you put that folder there
just so you could close it?
Copy !req
238. Yes, Rosa, obviously.
Copy !req
239. I didn't do anything.'
Copy !req
240. Well, if you
didn't do anything,
Copy !req
241. how come the case
is closed?
Copy !req
242. It's not.
Hmm?
Copy !req
243. The glitter
on Jeffords' suspenders
Copy !req
244. is type 9A round red glitter
while the bomb spewed
Copy !req
245. type 9C round red glitter,
Copy !req
246. but then I suppose all round
red glitter looks the same to you.
Copy !req
247. No. I know the difference.
Copy !req
248. One is bigger?
Shinier.
Copy !req
249. The
number refers to the size.
Copy !req
250. The letter refers
to its reflective qualities.
Copy !req
251. Seems like you know a weird
amount about glitter, man.
Copy !req
252. So good detective work
is weird to you?
Copy !req
253. Interesting squad
you have here, Raymond.
Copy !req
254. I didn't choose them. They
were here when I arrived.
Copy !req
255. Understood.
The real question is
Copy !req
256. why Jeffords had
glitter on him at all.
Copy !req
257. Fortunately,
I have the answer.
Copy !req
258. I deduced that he has
three young daughters,
Copy !req
259. twins and a toddler.
Copy !req
260. Big deal. You saw
the picture on his desk.
Copy !req
261. I did, and judging
by the maple trees
Copy !req
262. in the background
of that picture,
Copy !req
263. it was taken last fall,
probably mid-October.
Copy !req
264. The twins are smiling,
Copy !req
265. each revealing
a missing tooth.
Copy !req
266. The twin on the right,
let's call her "Twin A."
Copy !req
267. That's Cagney.
Is that relevant?
Copy !req
268. It's her name.
So no. Twin A
Copy !req
269. is missing an upper
right incisor
Copy !req
270. while Twin B is missing
a lower left incisor
Copy !req
271. suggesting that
they were seven
Copy !req
272. when the photo was taken,
Copy !req
273. which would put them
in second grade.
Copy !req
274. Spring semester
of second grade
Copy !req
275. is when the Brooklyn schools
do their solar system unit,
Copy !req
276. a highlight of which
is constructing
Copy !req
277. a mobile of the planets.
Copy !req
278. My hypothesis is that
Twin A and Twin B
Copy !req
279. requested Daddy's help
making Mars sparkle,
Copy !req
280. hence the red glitter.
Copy !req
281. Damn, yeah,
that's exactly right.
Copy !req
282. Just seems like
a very complicated way
Copy !req
283. of saying Terry has kids.
Copy !req
284. Thank you.
What?
Copy !req
285. The point is,
Jeffords is innocent,
Copy !req
286. so I guess it's fair
to say, "Case open."
Copy !req
287. My God, I have gooseflesh.
Copy !req
288. So now I'd like
to move on to a real suspect.
Copy !req
289. I wanna see
Detective Diaz in the box.
Copy !req
290. What? Don't
gasp for him. What are you doing?
Copy !req
291. I'm sorry.
It just slipped out.
Copy !req
292. Title of your sex tape.
Copy !req
293. Yeah, it's... Obviously
it's the title of his sex tape.
Copy !req
294. Everyone's taking my stuff.
Copy !req
295. Dittman never talks first
when he's in the box.
Copy !req
296. Well, Rosa never initiates
conversation of any kind.
Copy !req
297. Guys, I really have
to get out of here.
Copy !req
298. Somebody please say
something to get it started.
Copy !req
299. No.
And there it is.
Copy !req
300. Now that I have the upper hand,
let's get started.
Copy !req
301. Stupid Terry
and his stupid kids.
Copy !req
302. You were
the only suspect
Copy !req
303. who did not go out for lunch,
Copy !req
304. but if you were
eating at your desk,
Copy !req
305. how did you not see the
perpetrator plant the glitter bomb?
Copy !req
306. I wasn't at my desk.
I was in the break room.
Copy !req
307. Oh, the break room.
That explains it.
Copy !req
308. I guess we're done here.
Copy !req
309. Oh, here it comes,
the Dittman double back.
Copy !req
310. Just to double back...
Copy !req
311. Oh, my. He actually said
the words. What a treat.
Copy !req
312. If you were
in the break room,
Copy !req
313. why was the IP address
of your laptop
Copy !req
314. logged into the Wi-Fi
on the fifth floor?
Copy !req
315. Fine. There's
an empty office there
Copy !req
316. where I go to be alone.
Copy !req
317. Seems innocent enough.
Why would you lie about that?
Copy !req
318. Maybe because you were up
there assembling a glitter bomb.
Copy !req
319. I'm sorry, I didn't...
I was watching a soap opera.
Copy !req
320. It's called Drake's Hollow.
I never miss an episode.
Copy !req
321. It's my mother's favorite show
Copy !req
322. and when things
were bad between us,
Copy !req
323. it was the one thing that
we could still talk about.
Copy !req
324. Oh, that's sweet.
It is kind of sweet.
Copy !req
325. Sweet enough to fool
a lesser detective.
Copy !req
326. What... I wasn't
fooled. Take her away.
Copy !req
327. If you really watch
Drake's Hollow every day,
Copy !req
328. you won't mind
if I give you a little quiz.
Copy !req
329. You see, I've been known
to visit the Hollow myself
Copy !req
330. from time to time not unlike
Nicholas Van Bronderberg.
Copy !req
331. Who's the father
of Eliana's twins?
Copy !req
332. Christian
is Jacob's father,
Copy !req
333. but Joshua was stolen
from the hospital.
Copy !req
334. His real father
remains unknown.
Copy !req
335. Who did Joshua
grow up to marry?
Copy !req
336. First came Sandra,
then there was Brigitte,
Copy !req
337. but she turned out
to be his sister.
Copy !req
338. Katherine died
during childbirth,
Copy !req
339. though it was later revealed
that she was murdered
Copy !req
340. by Amanda, Joshua's next wife.
Copy !req
341. They divorced
after Amanda was sentenced
Copy !req
342. to the electric chair.
Copy !req
343. But Joshua rebounded
quickly with Jasmine.
Copy !req
344. Jasmine was followed by Grace,
the love of his life,
Copy !req
345. but she had a contract
dispute with the producers
Copy !req
346. so she was killed
off camera by a snake.
Copy !req
347. You messed up.
You forgot Gwendolyn.
Copy !req
348. No, I didn't.
Joshua and Gwendolyn
Copy !req
349. were technically never married
because that whole season
Copy !req
350. took place inside
Kiki's mind...
Copy !req
351. while
she was in a coma.
Copy !req
352. Diaz is innocent.
Copy !req
353. So I guess he was
wrong about Rosa.
Copy !req
354. Don't worry about Dittman.
Copy !req
355. He's the best detective
I've ever worked with.
Copy !req
356. Or you just keep
talking him up
Copy !req
357. because you don't want us
to notice how weird it is
Copy !req
358. that you brought in a friend
to work the case.
Copy !req
359. We're not friends. My only
friends are James and Julian.
Copy !req
360. Hurtful, but I still
think it's strange
Copy !req
361. that you won't let me
run the investigation
Copy !req
362. unless, of course,
there's something
Copy !req
363. you're scared I might find.
Excuse me?
Copy !req
364. Where were you
between 12:20 and 12:55?
Copy !req
365. You aren't seriously suggesting
that I am the prank man.
Copy !req
366. It does seem a little
far-fetched, Jake.
Copy !req
367. I mean, he did just use
the phrase, "prank man."
Copy !req
368. It's not far-fetched at all.
Holt is not the joyless robot
Copy !req
369. that he once was.
Copy !req
370. Is this about the time
I ate a burrito?
Copy !req
371. I was pressured into it.
Copy !req
372. Just tell us where
you were at lunch.
Copy !req
373. Well, if you must know,
I was having lunch with Boyle.
Copy !req
374. No way. You two
are the second most unlikely
Copy !req
375. Nine-Nine lunch combination.
Copy !req
376. First is anyone
with Hitchcock and Scully.
Copy !req
377. Second is Holt and Charles.
Copy !req
378. It is pretty strange.
Copy !req
379. I mean, obviously it was uncomfortable,
but it was a work lunch.
Copy !req
380. Look, it's not
a big deal, guys.
Copy !req
381. We don't have
to talk about it.
Copy !req
382. I was offering him
the task force position.
Copy !req
383. Boyle is my choice.
Copy !req
384. Boyle? From work?
Oh.
Copy !req
385. How great for him.
And no one else.
Copy !req
386. You know what, I just
remembered that I'm late to leave.
Copy !req
387. Gotta go, bye.
Copy !req
388. Hey.
Copy !req
389. I don't understand,
Charles.
Copy !req
390. If Holt already assigned you
to the task force,
Copy !req
391. why were you helping me
try and get it?
Copy !req
392. I was planning on
telling Holt no.
Copy !req
393. What? That's insane.
It's a huge opportunity.
Copy !req
394. I know, but I've been
meaning to cut back on hours.
Copy !req
395. I'm working too much.
Copy !req
396. It's affecting
Nikolaj at school.
Copy !req
397. He's been making
so many new friends.
Copy !req
398. Wait, isn't that
a good thing?
Copy !req
399. No, he's trying
to get me jealous.
Copy !req
400. I did the same thing
to my dad.
Copy !req
401. So, Jake, for real.
Copy !req
402. I'm not gonna take
the assignment.
Copy !req
403. Okay, I guess
that makes sense.
Copy !req
404. But just promise me you're not
turning it down because of me.
Copy !req
405. Jake, I promise.
Copy !req
406. Okay.
Copy !req
407. Great, well,
Copy !req
408. if you're turning it down,
that means there's still
Copy !req
409. an opportunity for me
to solve the case
Copy !req
410. and prove to Holt
I belong on the task force.
Copy !req
411. What task force?
Copy !req
412. How long have
you been here?
Copy !req
413. Just a few seconds. But that
was more than enough time
Copy !req
414. for me to ascertain
everything about you...
Copy !req
415. As a person, yes,
we know.
Copy !req
416. No one likes
a know-it-all.
Copy !req
417. You're married to one.
Copy !req
418. You're married to one.
Copy !req
419. Follow me. I have an important
announcement to make.
Copy !req
420. Dittman.
Copy !req
421. May I have everyone's
attention please?
Copy !req
422. I have solved the,
"who has done this."
Copy !req
423. I know by whom it was done.
Copy !req
424. It was Jake Peralta.
Copy !req
425. What? That's crazy.
The box was on my desk.
Copy !req
426. I'm the victim. Wrong.
Scully's the victim.
Copy !req
427. You know, you think
glitter's gonna taste
Copy !req
428. like sprinkles,
but it doesn't.
Copy !req
429. It tastes like
blood. That is blood.
Copy !req
430. The glitter's shredding
your tongue. Oh.
Copy !req
431. Why would I blow up
my own desk?
Copy !req
432. For the task force.
Copy !req
433. I just heard you say you
wanted to prove to Holt
Copy !req
434. that you're
a great detective.
Copy !req
435. That's why you set
this whole thing up.
Copy !req
436. It was a perfect plan, and you would've
gotten away with it if not for me.
Copy !req
437. Wow. You're a lunatic.
Copy !req
438. Would a lunatic know
that your body temperature
Copy !req
439. just rose 9/10 of a degree
indicating guilt?
Copy !req
440. Yes.
Oh, look.
Copy !req
441. What do we have here?
A receipt from Party Zone
Copy !req
442. for one air tank
rental paid in cash.
Copy !req
443. That's not mine.
I never keep my receipts.
Copy !req
444. Amy, tell them. Tell them how
much our accountant hates me.
Copy !req
445. She hates him so much.
Copy !req
446. My bag was sitting
next to my desk.
Copy !req
447. Anyone could have
put that in there.
Copy !req
448. That kind of evidence
would never hold up at trial.
Copy !req
449. You'd be laughed out of court.
Copy !req
450. I've only been
laughed at in court once,
Copy !req
451. and that was because
I made a terrific joke.
Copy !req
452. I was there.
It was hilarious.
Copy !req
453. Come on.
Copy !req
454. I guess it's fair
to say case closed.
Copy !req
455. No. He stole that
from me.
Copy !req
456. Go home. You're
suspended until further notice.
Copy !req
457. This is nuts.
Copy !req
458. I can't believe
Holt believes
Copy !req
459. that ridiculous windbag
and his sack of lies.
Copy !req
460. Oh, I know everything about
glitter and Drake's Elbow.
Copy !req
461. Hollow.
Amy, please.
Copy !req
462. I just need your
support right now, okay?
Copy !req
463. Wait a minute,
you believe me, right?
Copy !req
464. Of course I do.
I'm your wife.
Copy !req
465. I'm on your side
no matter what.
Copy !req
466. Thanks.
Copy !req
467. Same, by the way.
Thanks.
Copy !req
468. I mean, no one
really suspects me.
Copy !req
469. Right.
Look, go home.
Copy !req
470. I'll check for prints
on the Party Zone receipt.
Copy !req
471. Yours won't be there,
but maybe someone else's will.
Copy !req
472. Wait a minute.
Prints. That's it.
Copy !req
473. I think I know
who framed me.
Copy !req
474. Who? I can't say
yet. I wanna be sure.
Copy !req
475. You wanna do a big,
dramatic reveal
Copy !req
476. in front of everyone,
don't you?
Copy !req
477. Yes, obviously. Look,
I have to check on one thing.
Copy !req
478. Don't let anybody leave.
Okay.
Copy !req
479. Attention, everyone.
Copy !req
480. Stop what you are doing.
Copy !req
481. Eh,
still a little Nazi.
Copy !req
482. I'm gonna just
drop the accent.
Copy !req
483. Peralta,
you can't be here. You're suspended.
Copy !req
484. And you're lucky
it's not worse.
Copy !req
485. The DA's office
wanted you fired.
Copy !req
486. I'm being framed,
and I know who did it.
Copy !req
487. It was Dittman!
Copy !req
488. I just
met you today.
Copy !req
489. Why would I do that?
Good question.
Copy !req
490. It's because you want Holt
to put you on that task force.
Copy !req
491. Dittman can't be
on a New York task force.
Copy !req
492. The SFPD would
never approve it.
Copy !req
493. Correct, only he's not SFPD.
Copy !req
494. When you first arrived,
you asked us to check
Copy !req
495. the fingerprints
against the AFI system,
Copy !req
496. but that system hasn't
been used in over five years
Copy !req
497. by any police department.
Copy !req
498. Well,
I used the AFI system for 20 years.
Copy !req
499. I guess I misspoke.
Copy !req
500. Oh, misspoke. I see.
Copy !req
501. That explains everything.
My apologies.
Copy !req
502. I'm just gonna
head back on out to exile...
Copy !req
503. Just to double back.
Copy !req
504. My God. He's double
backing Dittman.
Copy !req
505. How could the best detective that Holt's
ever worked with make such a mistake?
Copy !req
506. I wondered myself,
so I made a few phone calls.
Copy !req
507. It turns out, Dittman
was fired by the SFPD.
Copy !req
508. I guess he rubbed the
brass the wrong way.
Copy !req
509. Not only that,
but he's currently working
Copy !req
510. part time at Yarn Barn,
a hobby shop in Albany.
Copy !req
511. I have his manager
on the phone right now.
Copy !req
512. Frank, what is going on?
You have a shift tonight.
Copy !req
513. You know I have finals.
Copy !req
514. I'm
so sorry, Alyssa.
Copy !req
515. I got hung up in the city.
I just lost track of time.
Copy !req
516. This explains everything.
He's not a great detective.
Copy !req
517. He's a sad man
working part time
Copy !req
518. selling crafting supplies.
Copy !req
519. Okay, fine, yes.
I was fired by the SFPD.
Copy !req
520. And yes,
I contacted Raymond
Copy !req
521. in hopes of getting on
that task force.
Copy !req
522. I thought it would be
my way back onto the NYPD.
Copy !req
523. Oh, my God.
I hate the Yarn Barn.
Copy !req
524. Really disappointing
to hear, Frank.
Copy !req
525. Yeah, well you're
a bad manager, Alyssa, okay?
Copy !req
526. You play favorites and it
hurts to be on the outside.
Copy !req
527. You don't even
show up to... Okay.
Copy !req
528. I was gonna
bring up the task force
Copy !req
529. when I had lunch
with Raymond tomorrow,
Copy !req
530. but when he called
about this case,
Copy !req
531. I thought solving it
would seal the deal...
Copy !req
532. Which would have
been easy since you set
Copy !req
533. the whole thing up
to frame me.
Copy !req
534. Ridiculous. Why would I have
waited so long to accuse you?
Copy !req
535. Because if you solved it right away,
it would've been too obvious.
Copy !req
536. He's deflecting
because he's guilty.
Copy !req
537. Dittman lied about where
he worked. We can't trust him.
Copy !req
538. The receipt was
in Peralta's bag.
Copy !req
539. You're the glitter expert.
Copy !req
540. Well, you're
the Prankmaster General.
Copy !req
541. It was him.
Copy !req
542. It wasn't either of you,
Copy !req
543. but I know who it was.
Copy !req
544. Son of a bitch
stole my bullhorn.
Copy !req
545. Okay, I'm not 100%
sure this is right,
Copy !req
546. and maybe I'm
missing something...
Copy !req
547. Charles, as a veteran
of many big reveals,
Copy !req
548. can I give you a tip?
Not so much waffling.
Copy !req
549. I agree. You're not
commanding the room.
Copy !req
550. Let him finish,
his way.
Copy !req
551. But do pace it up
a bit, Charles.
Copy !req
552. Copy that.
So from the beginning,
Copy !req
553. I was very skeptical that anyone
in our squad was behind the prank.
Copy !req
554. Why didn't you just say that? I did,
and then you said,
Copy !req
555. "That's exactly what
a guilty person would say."
Copy !req
556. Eh, I stand by it.
Copy !req
557. Okay, so who was
the prank man?
Copy !req
558. There was no prank.
Copy !req
559. That was just a cover.
Copy !req
560. You see, guys,
the point of the explosion
Copy !req
561. was to contaminate
the evidence
Copy !req
562. of the Dekalb Street murder.
Copy !req
563. But the suspect
is in prison,
Copy !req
564. has no ties
to organized crime,
Copy !req
565. and no means
of bribing an officer.
Copy !req
566. How could he have
possibly pulled that off?
Copy !req
567. Yeah, Jake, that stumped me
for a little bit too,
Copy !req
568. but then something
you said gave me an idea.
Copy !req
569. I mean, that kind of evidence
would never hold up at trial.
Copy !req
570. You'd be laughed
out of court.
Copy !req
571. Ah, yeah, I remember
when I said that.
Copy !req
572. It was awesome.
Wait, but who did it?
Copy !req
573. The mastermind
was ADA Greene.
Copy !req
574. He didn't have enough
evidence for the case.
Copy !req
575. He was afraid
he was gonna lose
Copy !req
576. and needed someone
to blame it on.
Copy !req
577. Whom did he work with?
Copy !req
578. Obviously someone who
knew about the pranks
Copy !req
579. and that Amy
called Jake "babe."
Copy !req
580. Excellent question, Captain.
It took a little digging
Copy !req
581. to find that out,
but I pulled some personnel files
Copy !req
582. and combed through
some social media.
Copy !req
583. Do you know what Greene's
wife's maiden name is?
Copy !req
584. Duchovny?
No.
Copy !req
585. Zappa.
No.
Copy !req
586. Fagerbakke.
No, Booth. Howard Booth.
Copy !req
587. As in, Officer Booth.
Copy !req
588. Oh, yes. Officer Howard.
Copy !req
589. He's
Greene's brother-in-law.
Copy !req
590. He didn't just put
the evidence on Jake's desk.
Copy !req
591. He put the glitter bomb there.
Copy !req
592. Oh, my God.
We have to find Booth.
Copy !req
593. Already did it.
And I booked him.
Copy !req
594. Oh,
classic elevator reveal.
Copy !req
595. This feels like it calls
for an audible gasp.
Copy !req
596. Not from you, Charles.
Copy !req
597. From me.
Copy !req
598. Wait,
did you just gasp at my gasp?
Copy !req
599. Sorry. Your gasp
was so good.
Copy !req
600. Oh, thank you
for gasping at my gasp.
Copy !req
601. My pleasure.
Copy !req
602. Sorry you missed
your daughter's concert.
Copy !req
603. No, no, it's okay.
Copy !req
604. Sharon totally understood...
Copy !req
605. After I lied to her
and said we had to stay late
Copy !req
606. because Rosa got shot.
Copy !req
607. Next time you see her,
walk with a limp.
Copy !req
608. Copy that.
Copy !req
609. Hey, you know you don't
have to sweep up, right?
Copy !req
610. Well, someone's gotta.
Copy !req
611. Plus it reminds me of
the three years I spent
Copy !req
612. as a cleaning lady
in college.
Copy !req
613. Hmm. I guess there really
is no term for cleaning man.
Copy !req
614. Mmm-mm.
That's not great.
Copy !req
615. So hey, listen.
I wanted to say
Copy !req
616. great job today
and also I'm sorry.
Copy !req
617. Sorry for what? Well,
when I heard you got the task force,
Copy !req
618. my first reaction was
just to feel sad for myself
Copy !req
619. instead of happy for you.
Copy !req
620. Well, you sure
hid it well.
Copy !req
621. I really didn't.
Copy !req
622. I stormed into the other
room and moped by myself.
Copy !req
623. Eh, but you had style.
Copy !req
624. Charles, no. Look.
Copy !req
625. You have to take
the task force job.
Copy !req
626. Really? What about Nikolaj?
Copy !req
627. He's gonna be
so proud of his dad.
Copy !req
628. I bet he even ditches
those new friends.
Copy !req
629. Oh, man.
That's the dream.
Copy !req
630. Thank you
for saying that.
Copy !req
631. Honestly, though, I still don't
get why Holt chose me over you.
Copy !req
632. Are you kidding?
Copy !req
633. I mean, just look at today.
Copy !req
634. Instead of fighting
for attention,
Copy !req
635. you did the work and
methodically built your case.
Copy !req
636. You noticed things
that a room full
Copy !req
637. of seasoned cops all missed.
Copy !req
638. You're a great
detective, Charles.
Copy !req
639. Wow. Even in defeat,
Copy !req
640. you are a true
prince of a man.
Copy !req
641. The task force is yours.
Copy !req
642. What? No. Boyle,
just take the win! Right.
Copy !req
643. It was good
to see you today.
Copy !req
644. I'll keep my ears open
Copy !req
645. for any job
opportunities that arise.
Copy !req
646. Appreciate it.
I could use it.
Copy !req
647. Just got a text
from Alyssa,
Copy !req
648. I've been fired
by the Yarn Barn.
Copy !req
649. Well, you're still
the best damn detective
Copy !req
650. I've ever worked with.
Copy !req
651. Thank you.
Copy !req
652. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
653. Your iris just contracted
by 1 /10th of a millimeter.
Copy !req
654. You're lying.
Copy !req
655. Yes, I've lost a lot
of respect for you today.
Copy !req
656. Understood.
Copy !req
657. Goodbye, Raymond.
Copy !req
658. Well...
Copy !req
659. Since Dittman is clearly
out of the top spot now,
Copy !req
660. who's the best detective
you've ever worked with?
Copy !req
661. It's Sergeant
Leslie Hunt-Minkoff.
Copy !req
662. Who?
Copy !req
