The first 187 lines.
In the nation's largest city,
the vicious and violent members of the underworld
are hunted by the detectives
of the Organized Crime Control Bureau.
These are their stories.
But that's what I'm saying, Dad.
I've done a ton of research already.
It's not that big of a deal.
You're gonna get weird.
I'm already weird.
No, you're perfect, perfectly weird.
You can get a great education homeschooling,
and I promise I'll still socialize
so I won't get weirder.
I've got Chloe. She's my best friend.
It's not gonna happen.
Look, I know you're anxious.
Your mom told me that after the drill, you...
It's not just one drill, Dad.
We've had three lockdown drills since the school year started.
The world is going to crap.
It's only a matter of time before some madman
walks in my classroom.
Don't say that.
Don't ever say that.
What, Jesus, you're 15, Lily, you're staying in school.
Look, there's a lot of stuff that's out in the world.
But the chances of anything bad actually happening...
Stay here. You don't move. Don't move.
Ma'am!
Miss, are you okay? Miss?
No, wait, wait, wait.
Damn it.
What the hell?
She ran right in front of me. - Call 911.
I didn't see her. I didn't have time to...
Call 911 now.
Easy, easy, easy. - No!
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait.
Hey, slow down. Easy, miss, calm down.
Easy, no, no, no. I'm the police.
Look.
That's right.
I'm here to help you.
Calm down. Slow down.
Slow down. Slow down.
Look at me. Look at my eye.
You're gonna be strong now.
You need to calm down, though, all right?
Slow your breathing down for me.
That's it. Here.
I'm gonna take your pulse, you're gonna take mine.
Feel my pulse?
If I'm calm, you can be calm, all right?
You gotta be strong for me.
All right?
Slow your breathing.
I've called for an ambulance.
It's on its way.
He...
He who?
Is someone chasing you?
He hurt you? - Yes.
You know who he is? You know his name?
Hold on.
Over here!
NYPD!
Over here, bring a stretcher!
Calm down, all right?
I'm gonna stay with you, all right?
I'm gonna help you.
Hey!
Hold on one second. - No, no, no, no!
Whoa, no, no, no, no, no,
I'm not leaving you.
I'm just getting them over here, all right?
I'm not gonna leave you.
I'm getting the ambulance.
I'll be right back.
I'm not leaving you. I'll be right back.
Move these cars. Come on, let's go!
Come on, move, move, move! Come on! Let's go, people.
Let's get these cars out of the way.
Let's go, move, move, move!
Let's go!
NYPD!
Hey! Hey!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hey!
What do we got?
We're canvassing for witnesses, surveillance video.
What's going on?
Who are you?
- Who am I? - Yeah.
Detective Frank Cosgrove, 2-7.
Detective Jalen Shaw, 3-2.
I got the handle five minutes ago.
No, I got this.
I was with the girl when she was shot,
so I'm not going anywhere.
Just so I'm clear, if you were with the girl,
how did she get shot?
I saw the victim running down the street covered in blood.
She ran out into traffic, got struck.
I went over to her, I tried to help her, I...
tried to figure out what was happening.
Then I heard the sirens.
I alerted the ambulance about the girl, her location,
I tried to get her through. There was chaos.
I cleared the street.
That's when I heard it, two pops,
double tap like an execution.
I saw a male running away, hat, masked.
I pursued.
I lost him.
It sounds like you did what you had to do.
What does that mean?
It just means you tried to save the girl's life, right?
Yeah, I tried.
Look, um...
as far as you working the case with me,
I'm not really sure how that works.
No offense, I'm new to Homicide.
Well, I'm not so new.
I'll handle it. I'll make some calls.
Maybe we can work this together.
I gotta go. It's Shaw, right?
Yeah.
Excuse me. You seen a little girl?
She was sitting right there, brown hair, brown eyes, 15?
Lily, Lily.
What the hell are you doing?
I told you to stay at the restaurant.
I heard gunshots. I got scared.
I wanted to make sure you were okay.
Yeah, I understand that, but when you hear gunshots,
you run away from them, not toward them, you understand?
Ah, come here.
Come here. I'm sorry.
I'm fine.
I appreciate that you're caring about me.
But next time, you stay where you are
or you run the opposite way, okay?
So what happened?
Uh, the girl she... she got hit by a car.
Then what?
Look, I'm the first officer on the scene
so I need to take this case.
I gotta go back to work. - She's dead.
Yeah.
But I'm gonna find this guy and I'm gonna
make him pay for what he did.
You always say that.
What does that even mean? He'll pay for it?
Even if you catch him, even if he goes to prison,
that girl will still be dead.
I need to get you out of here, all right?
I'm gonna put you in a taxi. No, I'm gonna call your mom.
She'll come pick you up.
Sounds good. Thank you.
I just got off the phone with your captain.
It's all good.
You and Frank are gonna take the lead.
But we're gonna work the case from here out of the 27.
Copy that.
I'm sorry you had to go through all that, Frank.
It's a hell of a thing to see.
Do we know where the shooter came from?
A building, a restaurant?
No clue.
I turned, there he was.
And before I could even react, he shot her.
What about the girl? We have an ID yet?
We're running the prints now.
You recover any personal belongings,
jewelry, a phone, anything?
No, nothing.
Hey, I got a hit on Missing Persons.
Ava Marchenko, 15 years old.
The girl's a Ukrainian refugee
who came into the country four months ago,
was staying with her aunt.
She's the one who reported her missing two months later.
That's her.
Okay.
Go talk to the aunt.
Look, if you don't mind, I'd rather handle
