"Natural News."

{\an8}to be a training officer?
That's a big deal.
194

{\an8}- Huge deal.
195
00:09:48,021 --> 00:09:50,923
{\an8}Probably means they're
grooming her for bigger things.

199

{\an8}- So?

interrogating you pretty hard
201
00:10:02,669 --> 00:10:04,428
{\an8}last night.
- Oh, God.

She's cute.

Not even.

00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:08,874
{\an8}She's a friend of Girardi's, actually.

{\an8}- Uh-huh.
206

with benefits.

Girardi to Molly's more often.

{\an8}Good morning, Lizzy.

marks on your wrist.
212

{\an8}- Did she?
213
00:10:28,661 --> 00:10:30,162
{\an8}- So when are you guys
gonna put
214
00:10:30,163 --> 00:10:32,764
{\an8}these weird vibes behind you?
- Ask him.
215

{\an8}I'm not the one keeping
these weird vibes going.

He's got a big room.
222

{\an8}He's only a block away
from the Blue Line,

whenever he wants.

225
00:10:57,056 --> 00:10:58,892

she changed her mind
226

{\an8}and moved back.
I think they both are.

to see them this morning.

{\an8}How was the kickoff meeting
with the training chief?

it was a little intimidating.

{\an8}Uh, he said that the probies
they assigned me

{\an8}were all top of their class
at the academy.

- Some guy
from the "Telegraph."

He already left me
a message this morning.
239
00:11:34,093 --> 00:11:36,853
- So did he say what
he was calling about?
240
00:11:36,854 --> 00:11:41,825
- No, just that he wanted
to talk to the head of 51.
241
00:11:41,826 --> 00:11:44,929
