The lottery number "35" falls into the first slot.
The cops are in the locker room suiting up for work.
Sully: 70 million dollars.
Faith: Right.
Ty: What I could do with that.
Bosco walks in late.
Bosco: I'm telling you. If they gave me the power to decide who lives and who dies, the world would be a better place.
Sully: Bosco as God.
Bosco: Morons, shouldn't have driver's licenses.
Faith: Worse. Bosco as a DMV.
Ty: Isn't that a lateral?
Bosco: I'm telling you, man. Every street I turn down is more screwed up than the next.
Faith: The trains are running really fast.
Bosco: Like I'm going to sit in a tube shoulder to shoulder with that trash.
Sully: Ouch.
Faith: I take the trains, Bos.
Bosco: Yeah?
Faith: Yeah.
Ty: If you win the lottery you can buy a helicopter to get to work.
Sully: To get to work?
Ty: What, are you going to sit at home all day?
Faith: Yeah. 70 million dollars. I'm going to strap on a bullet proof vest because I need a hobby.
Bosco: Don't tell me you guys believe in this lottery scam?
Sully: For a chance of that kind of doe you can scam me any day.
A guy in charge walks in.
Guy: Roll call.
Bosco: Darn it.
Faith: I'll tell them you're here.
Sully: Plotting the murder of everyone you don't like.
Ty: After you take away their driver's licenses.
Bosco: Morons.
In the attendance room where they get their assignments, the Boss is standing in front next to Jason Christopher.
Boss: Crime analysists have put out a burglary pattern for 99 to 108 street from Arthur to the river. We've got a few particulars on these mopes that should at least give us...
Bosco enters.
Boss: As memory serves me, this makes it four times this month, Boscorelli.
Bosco: Sorry, boss.
Sully: Actually, it's more like five.
Boss: Is it?
Ty: That's twice this week, right?
Bosco: What, you guys have nothing else to pay attention to?
Boss: Next time I demand discipline, it goes in your file.
Bosco: Yes, sir.
Boss: Since you missed the introduction of our new patrol officer, you can see him after roll call and make his acquaintance.
Bosco: Is that Jason Christopher?
Faith: In the flesh.
The boss closes the meeting and everyone gets up to leave. Faith and Bosco get up to see Jason.
Faith: Hey Jason. Congratulations.
Jason: How you doing, Faith?
Faith: Can't complain.
Jason: How did you do on the test, Boscorelli?
Bosco: The sergeant test? I didn't take it.
Jason: Well, that's probably for the best.
Jason leaves.
Bosco: What the heck did that supposed to mean?
Faith: I don't know. Just make up with him, Bosco. Come on, I want to buy a lottery ticket before the whole world gets off work.
Bosco: It's for the best?
Bosco is pacing up in front of the street in front of a convenience store waiting for Faith.
Bosco (through his radio): Yokas, come on, let's go.
Faith is in the store waiting in line and turns off the radio as everyone looks at her.
Faith: Jumper, it's very tragic.
Bosco is staring at his old bud Rudy who is pacing in front of a vender. Rudy grabs the oranges and takes off running.
Bosco (taking him down): You have got to be kidding me. You are stupider than even I can believe, Rudy.
Rudy: My head.
Bosco: You're head. Like there can be anything vile that could be hurt in there. Shut up. Let me see your hands.
Bosco cuffs and loads him into the car.
Bosco: 55 David. ??? out at Bleaker and 8th, one ??? for ??? and arson.
Bosco picks up the oranges and throws them in the car. He goes into the store and gets Faith, who is next in line to buy lottery tickets.
Bosco: Yokas. Let's go. We have an arrest.
Faith: What?
Bosco: Rudy just committed a theft right in front of me.
Faith: What did he steal?
Bosco: A thief is a thief.
Faith: I'm in the front of the line.
Bosco: We have an arrest. Good luck, everyone.
Faith: Bosco, any other day you would give him a kick in the butt and send him home.
They go outside and walk towards the car.
Faith: What's your problem with me buying lottery tickets.
Bosco: They're just going to take your money. Do you know what your chances are of winning?
Faith: Better with one than without
Bosco: Hey, I'm doing you a favor.
Faith: Oh, sorry. Should I thank you for getting me out of a line I was in for a half in hour.
They get into the car and turn to Rudy who is laying down in the back of the car.
Bosco: You think you're taking a nap while I drive you to the House?
Rudy: I don't want to be seen.
Bosco: You worried about your rep? This is your rep pal. Don't make me come back there.
Rudy: Please.
Bosco: Now.
Rudy sits up, and as soon as he does, shots are fired. Rudy is shot dead in the head and splatters blood all over Bosco's face. Bosco and Faith get out of the car with their guns.
Faith: 10-13, shots fired. I repeat, shots fired.
OPENING CREDITS
The lottery number "37" rolls down and joins the "35".
Paramedics are at the scene of the shooting. Bobby is examining Rudy's wound.
Bobby: Whatever caliber it was, someone meant some serious harm.
Kim: You guys sure you're ok?
Faith: I'll let you know when my butt unpucures.
Bobby: Mine wouldn't until April.
Faith: Who would want to hurt Rudy?
Bosco: Someone who wants me to have a bad day.
Ty: I think Rudy had a worse.
Sully is looking in the cop car.
Jason: Sully, you not have something to do?
Sully: Excuse me.
Jason: Get yourselves 98 back to the service.
Sully: I know what 98 means.
Jason: Then do it.
Sully: You guys going to be okay?
Faith: Yeah, thanks Sully.
Sully: Excuse me.
Bosco: Thanks, Davis.
Ty and Sully leave.
Jason: How?
Bosco: We have no idea.
Faith: We don't even know where the shots came from. We heard a shot and everyone hit the ground.
Jason: Phantom kills a guy in police custody.
Bosco: Yeah, something like that.
Jason: How do I know that you're going to be my first problem, Boscorelli?
Bosco: Like I asked for this.
Detective: We're about finished here.
Jason: Now I have to go in and try to explain this to the boss. Yokas, you didn't salute. And out here, it's not Jason, it's Sergeant Christopher.
Faith salutes.
Faith: Yes, sir.
Detective: Doesn't seem to like you much.
Faith: Well, we all used to work together.
Bosco: There was a misunderstanding.
Faith: I wouldn't call it a misunderstanding.
Bosco: What happens to the car?
Detective: We tow it in for more processing.
Faith: Can we get our stuff out of it first?
Detective: We'll get it back to you.
Faith: Today?
Detective: Couple of hours. I need you both to come in.
Bosco: After we get a new car.
Detective: Thanks.
Faith: You should've just let me buy the ticket.
Ty and Sully are in their car, driving around.
Ty: A couple of bucks buys a whole lot of stuff, doesn't it?
Sully: Who does he think he is?
Ty: Who?
Sully: Boy sergeant.
Ty: Forget him, man.
Sully: Talks to me like it's my first day. I have shirts that are older than him.
Ty: What would you do if you won the lotto?
Sully: 22 years on the job and I need a puppy crawling up my butt.
Ty: Maybe a little vacation home in the Caribbean somewhere.
Sully: I'm too old for this crap.
Ty: Jamaica maybe. Ever been to Jamaica?
Sully: Queens?
Ty: Yeah, Sully. Ever been to Jamaica, Queens.
Sully: What are you talking about?
Ty: Ever been to Jamaica?
Sully: What would I want to go there for?
Ty: Spend all day at the beach, throw punch, looking at half naked women all day. That doesn't sound good to you?
Sully: Do you know that he is only a couple of years older than you?
Ty: Fine. When I win, you're not invited to my island. How's that?
Bosco and Faith approach the detective in her office.
Faith: Man, that was a brand new memo book.
Bosco: Just use some bleach, it'll get the stains right out.
Faith: I'm not going to use, bleach. It's going straight to the garbage.
Bosco: Well, I'm not going to throw my kill light away. I've had it since we started.
Faith: You're not going to toss out your good luck charm.
Bosco: No, do you know how much these things cost?
Detective: Did you guys see anyone with a bicycle there?
Bosco: Bicycle? No.
Detective: One of our witnesses on a three story apartment said she thought the shooter rode up on a bicycle.
Bosco: I didn't see that.
Faith: Me either. But we hit the ground pretty fast.
Bosco: We were concerned with the wounded prisoner in the back of our RMP to really notice anything else.
Detective: You guys know of anyone who would want to hurt this guy?
Faith: No, as criminals go, he was pretty....

Greg tells Ty to tell his wife that he loves her. Sully wants to load them in there car instead of waiting for the ambulance, but the ambulance pulls up. Bobby works on Greg and Kim works on Ty.
Lottery ball "24" falls into place.
In the locker room, Sully and Ty are talking. Ty is compulsively washing his hands.
Sully: The place is already starting to full up with bosses and politicians. If anything ever happens to me, don't let some guy get up there and talk about how I was a hero who gave my life to the city of New York. It wouldn't be my choice. I wouldn't want to give my life for anything. Did you call your mother?
Ty: No, not yet.
Sully: Don't let her hear about it from the news.
Ty: Al right.
Sully: They won't even say a name. They'll just say an officer was shot from the 55 precinct.
Ty: I know, I know.
Sully: I'm sorry about your friend.
Ty: We weren't really friends. We were in the academy together.
Sully: He seemed to know you.
Ty: I was company sergeant, everyone knew me. We're really close or anything.
Sully: They look pretty clean, you're hands.
Ty stops washing his hands.
Ty: Ready to roll.
Sully: Yeah.
In the precinct, phones are ringing off the hook. Faith is on the phone with Fred.
Faith: I'm ok baby, really. I'm going to be a little late is all, Al right? Ok. I love you too, bye.
She hangs up and sees Bosco and joins up with him.
Faith: Hey, you going to call your mom? Let her know that you're okay?
Bosco: She's at work. Detectives think that this is the same guy that shot at Rudy.
Faith: Yeah?
Bosco: White guy on a 10 speed bicycle. How many of those could there be?
Faith: Like 20,000.
Bosco: You know what I mean.
Faith: He shot those guys for no reason.
Bosco: He had a reason.
Bosco points at the badge.
In the hospital, Carlos and Doc pull an empty stretcher. They look through the glass at a woman and her young son, talking to police.
Carlos: Is that the family?
Doc: Probably.
All the cops are in the room, listening to a voice recording of a source at the shooting.
Detective: Source has been contacted by someone claiming to be the shooter. He is at was with the government and it's soldiers, us. And this is just the beginning. He also took credit for the shooting earlier. Witnesses are with the sketch artist and as soon as we can get a composite, we'll hand it out. What we know now is a male/white/45/5'11/180/currently black hair and a beard.
Faith: Has anyone contacted the families?
Chief: We've contacted Richardson's wife but we haven't found anyone for Traheal.
Faith: I think Traheal was divorced.
Chief: Any kids?
Faith: I hope not.
Ty is walking through the hospital as Greg's wife, Mary Jane, approaches him.
Mary Jane: Ty?
Ty: Yeah?
Mary Jane: I'm Greg's wife, Mary Jane. I met you at the academy graduation.
Ty: Yeah, of course.
Mary Jane: Were you there? Did he? Was he?
Ty: No, he was unconscious. I don't even think he knew.
Mary Jane: They won't let me see him.
Bosco and Faith are in their new car, sitting on the side of the road.
Bosco: I can't believe there's no cars newer than this.
Faith: It gets us around.
Bosco: No, it's not comfortable like the old one.
Faith: It's all in your head.
Bosco: Look out! Look out! Look out!
A guy on a yellow bicycle drives by their car.
Bosco: We need to keep moving.
Back at the hospital, Ty is holding onto Mary Jane as she walks into the room to see her dead husband.
Mary Jane: I feel like I can't walk.
Ty: You don't have to do this.
Mary Jane: Yes, I do.
She sees her pale blue husband and starts sobbing. Everyone is watching her from outside the room.
Bosco and Faith are still riding around.
Bosco: Do you believe in faith, destiny, stuff like that? Why things happen the way they do?
Faith: I try not to think about it.
Bosco: If I had let Rudy lay there, would I have gotten shot?
Faith: The metal on the cage would've deflected it.
Bosco: If he hadn't boosted the fruit, he wouldn't have been in the car.
Faith: Can we change the subject?
Bosco: Were they mean to die today? Why was it their day and not mine?
Faith: I really want to win that lottery.
Later that night, after he shift, Faith walks into her apartment. Fred is standing there waiting for her.
Fred: It's all over the news.
Faith: I want to see the kids.
Fred: They're sleeping.
Faith: I just want to look at them.
Faith goes into her kid's rooms and stare at them sleeping. She kisses them and looks at her husband, thinking how lucky she is that she didn't lose them.
Back at the station, Ty gives Mary Jane her husband's uniform.
Mary Jane: That's it?
Ty: It all seems to be here, except for his shoes.
Mary Jane: They need his shoes?
Ty: I don't know. I checked it, it's Al right.
Mary Jane: He was so proud to be a cop.
Ty: I can take that out for you if you want?
Mary Jane: No...thanks, Ty.
Ty: I didn't really do anything.
Mary Jane gets up and he watches her leave.
Lotto # 26 falls down with the others.
Faith is in her apartment staring at her lottery ticket when Fred comes in.
Faith: Hey, what are you doing home?
Fred: I heard on the radio. Is it true that guy said he was going to shoot more cops?
Faith: People talk all the time, Fred.
Fred: Not like that.
Faith: Nothing's going to happen.
Fred: You don't know that.
Faith: I'm really careful.
Fred: The news guy also said this guy killed someone in the back of a police car shooting at other cops.
Faith: Yeah, I know that.
Fred: You don't have to go. Really? What would be wrong with calling inside?
Faith: I can't do that.
Fred: Why?
Faith: I just can't.
Fred: No, tell me why? Tell my why you're going to go somewhere where you know some guy is going to hurt you.
Faith: Because if I didn't go and something happened, I would never be able to live with myself.
Fred: What about us? How are we supposed to live without you.
Faith: Baby, this is who I am. This is what I do. I'm a cop. And I can't expect someone else to sit in my seat for me. Don't ask me to do that. Please.
Fred walks away.

Tatianna: I'm doing good.
Sully: How's your sink?
Tatianna: That's fine, thank you.
Sully: I was just on my way to work.
Tatianna: I know. I saw a person on the news about the policeman and I just want you to be careful.
Sully: Yeah, I will. Thanks.
Sully walks away, smiling.

Rudy's mom: Did you knock on my door?
Bosco: Are you Rudy Ranger's mother?
Rudy's mom: I used to be, he got killed yesterday.
Bosco: Yeah, I know.
Rudy's mom: Did you want something?
Bosco: I guess I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
Rudy's mom: Did you kill him?
Bosco: Nope. He was in my car.
Rudy's mom: You're a cop. I'm not going to sue you if that's what you're worried about.
Bosco: No.
Rudy's mom: He wasn't always bad, you know? He got straight A's in the 7th grade. He was on the honor roll.
