You know, there's five
dead girls in the '90s.

You know, boring...

something to pass on to you.

were into that kind of humor.
You got things to do, right?
Hmm?
Oh, sure.
Do you have a problem?
Yeah, something's going on...
...and you're not letting me in on it.
It's okay, 'cause whatever it is...
...it's not gonna stay a secret forong.
You're back.
- I'm sorry. I... Need your help.
Again?
I need to know who.
What are you asking me to do?
Go to him?
The bishop?
You know he won't talk to me.
Does this have something
to do with Daniel Lapp?
- I'm sorry. I can't tell you that.
It's important?
Yeah.
I would tell you if I could.
- It's not like you
to hold your tongue.
No.
It's not.
I can't promise the bishop
will tell me anything.
But I want to know something first.

wait for him to let us in?

...not to mention he's not
our guy, and you know it.
Do I?
- Dirty dishes, dirty fingernails...
...smokes, drinks, trips on his shoelaces.
What is wrong with you?
I'm fine.
No, you're not.
I just need a drink.
That's how it is right now
every time the adrenaline hits.
- PTSD.
- Yeah, something like that.
You need a doctor?
No, just a drink.
- Why are you still on active duty?
'Cause I'm brilliant at this stuff.
Can't you tell?
I-I know I shouldn't be here.
So retire.
- Yeah, well, I, uh...
I don't do too well at home.
They took pity on me at the office.
They said I could hang there
until the new captain showed up.
But, uh, slaughterhouse showed up first...
...so here I am.
What happened to you?
- You heard of me. I'm tomasetti.
Tomasetti, Cincinnati.
It was in all the papers.
All right, I wanted to
make a name for myself.
when I made detective...
...so when I got my shield, I
took down Joey campanella.
Does that ring a bell?
- Yeah, okay. I remember that.
- Yeah. Godfather to half of Ohio.
He said he would get even with me...
...and I knew that he would try...
...so I wore kevlar every day.
But he faked me out.
He didn't go after me.
He went after your family.
Yeah, my wife.
...and, um...
My kid.
They never made an arrest for that.
Get me another.
I'm sorry.
- I made sure I was first in the door.
...for about five years after that.
You know, there was
every high-speed chase...
...shootout, hostage situation.
