The Perfect Family Page #4

- You know that, too?

- Yeah. Yeah, I do.

That's... that's why

I want to help you.

Five years old.

And ma's dead not a year.

And we go up to the top

of our building.

Hey, just stay with me, buddy.

Just stay with me.

And I remember...

...he puts me down by the door...

...and he gives me a piece of paper.

I can't read.

I don't know what's on it.

And I'm just standing there,

looking up at my dad...

...as he walks to the edge.

Terry, you're not your father.

You're your own person.

So, what's wrong with me?

Nothing.

What is wrong with me?!

Nothing.

Nothing's wrong.

Still have the solution, but no way to take

him out without the baby going over, too.

Copy that.

All I want is what everybody gets.

What do you want? You tell me.

I want my family.

I want to come home and

they're there every day, no matter what.

I want my little boy to look at me...

and say, "daddy, don't leave. "

And I'd say, "I would never. "

You've got it.

You've got it. You've already got it.

You've got... you've got Jessie.

She loves you.

She loves you. She wants you to

come back down safe, you and Owen.

Oh, my god. He's bleeding.

- No, no, no, Terry.

- What am I doing?

It's okay. It's just your hand.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

Look at what I'm going to

do every time.

- Won't I?

- No, no.

It doesn't have to go that way.

It doesn't have to go that way.

Come on. Come on.

It's going to be okay.

No. You were the one who

told Jessie he was hungry.

No. You were the one who

told jessie he was hungry.

That's right.

Probably still is hungry.

Why don't we go

feed him together? Come on.

We'll go feed him together, okay?

Come on.

Yeah.

Come on. That's it.

That's it.

Okay, thank you.

Team, be ready.

You take care of him for me.

You bet.

Come here.

Here we go.

Here we go.

- Careful. I got him.

- That's it.

- I got him.

- I'm sorry.

- Let go of him, Terry.

- I'm sorry.

No, you're not going anywhere.

You're not going anywhere.

Don't go, Terry. Don't go, Terry.

Don't go. Terry, don't go.

Don't go, my man.

Don't go, my man.

Don't. Don't.

Terry!

Terry!

No, no!

Jessie!

No, don't. No! Terry!

I'm sorry!

Terry!

- We'll debrief. We'll debrief.

- All right.

- Later, all right?

- All right.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Good night.

Jessie?

There's a police officer over there.

He's ready to take a statement.

Did he say anything before he...

Yeah.

He said to "take care

of him for me. "

His dad wrote that.

In a note.

I have to take Owen now, Jessie.

His name is Liam.

It's all right.

"The subject's family

history made suicide likely...

...and the danger to

the infant was extreme. "

"I gave the order to take the shot.

"Constable sabine was

unable to do so and...

...the subject made it to

the structure and ascended. "

Donna, you have anything to add?

"At this point,

"Constables sabine and

wordsworth pursued the subject.

"There was a continuing of motion in which

the subject approached the structure... "

Hey. Tomorrow we're going to

do this debrief again,

And you are going to tell

the boss what really happened.

'Cause, Donna, the only thing that is more

dangerous than a cop who shoots too fast.

Now, you had the shot

and I saw it.

- You saw it?

- Yeah.

Well, where were you, then?

Because where I was, I was pointing a gun

at a scared kid with a baby in his hands.

- We got an order.

- You questioned the order.

Yeah, I did. But the boss

had information we didn't have.

I asked a question, and then I did my job,

like a member of this team is supposed to.

All right?

Are you a member of this team?

Yes.

That's good.

Does this job get any easier?

No.
