Conclusion Of Pilot

Sullivan comes down the stairs and tells the detective to lay off Ty -- if he wants to go off on someone, he should go off on Sullivan. Boy, Sullivan, it hasn't taken you long to become a father figure.

Okay, so the show starts with Ty sitting on the steps where Jerry just got shot, and he's looking at all the puddles of blood and watching people take pictures of the scene and taking items and bagging them. Too bad it isn't Bosco's blood all over the place. So a detective asks Ty if he saw the shooter, and Ty tells him he didn't see anyone but he thought the guy went up to the roof, and the detective is totally giving Ty a hard time about chasing someone he didn't even see instead of securing the building. Sullivan comes down the stairs and tells the detective to lay off Ty -- if he wants to go off on someone, he should go off on Sullivan. Boy, Sullivan, it hasn't taken you long to become a father figure. So for some reason Sullivan thinks he has an idea of who the shooter may be, but of course the detective blows him off and doesn't want to hear about it.

Cut to the hospital, and Jerry's wife is pacing around the waiting room while holding a sleeping four-year-old and babbling on about how Jerry didn't have to go to that bad neighborhood and how he had seniority and didn't have to do that kind of work, yadda yadda yadda. Oh, how original -- the older veteran cop has a young wife. That's something you never see.

Cut to Ty and Sullivan in their car, and Ty is all, "I screwed up" and Sullivan is all, "You made a bad call and you'll learn from it." "Bad call"? That's it? The kid repeatedly did what Sullivan told him NOT to do, and let some psycho get away, and all Sullivan says is that he made a bad call? Ty needs a smack upside the head from his mother. So Sullivan puts on the flashing lights and tells Ty that a woman from the building told him that the first guy who got shot hung out with some head case named Michael Daniels, and they have to find him. Ty is all, "Shouldn't we tell the detectives?" and Sullivan is all, "Did they seem receptive to you?" And I should hope they wouldn't be receptive to some fool kid on his first night on the job and the veteran who lets him run wild.

Cut to Yokas finishing a call to her husband on a pay phone. She walks over to Bosco who is leaning against their car and is all, "It's hard to believe, huh?" and Bosco is all, "Medics aren't supposed to go in without us when shots have been fired. If you don't follow procedure this is what can happen." From the man who lives by the book, insight on how to follow procedures. Hello, pot? This is the kettle -- you're black! So anyway, Sullivan drives past them with his lights on and Bosco sees this and blows his load and they rush to get into their car and follow Sullivan.



Sullivan gets out and says, 'Crap,' as Bosco drives up to him. Funny, I always say that when I see Bosco too.

Cut to Sullivan parking his car outside an apartment building. He gets out and says, "Crap," as Bosco drives up to him. Funny, I always say that when I see Bosco too. Bosco asks Sullivan if he's got anything and Sullivan is all, "Maybe. If we need help we'll call for you." And Bosco gives his patented "whatever" face and goes, "Yeah, right," and walks past him into the building, and Sully grouses that "he doesn't even know where he's going" and Yokas grouses back, "Like that's ever stopped him before." And I'm hoping that Bosco will start walking up the stairs and get shot point-blank four times.

Unfortunately Bosco doesn't get shot, and the scene cuts to Bosco, Sullivan, Ty, and Yokas walking up the stairs together, and Bosco is telling Ty to put his extra ammo at the front of his belt and that Ty should get a back-up gun like Bosco has in a holster on his left leg, and Sullivan says, "If he falls he'll explode." And Bosco gives him a "whatever" face. As they get to the apartment they think the shooter is in, Yokas is all, "Okay, what happens ? You guys unzip and I get a tape measurer?" and Sullivan is all, "It won't take much more than a kiddie ruler for Bosco," and Bosco bellows, "YARDSTICK!" and Ty starts giggling, and Bosco and Sullivan give him a look and shush him. Oh, I see, those guys can talk as loud as they want, but if someone else makes a sound, forget it. And how clever for the writers to have a woman suggest that the men compare penis sizes. I wonder who they stole that from and made lame. So anyway, they bust into this apartment and all they find is a runaway girl hanging out there.

Cut to Kim and Bobby responding to a call. As they walk to some back alley, they see that the thirteen-year-old girl they helped in the park has OD'd again and gotten dumped in the alley. The woman who called 911 is talking to Bobby and she says she is from New Jersey for some reason, and all I have to say about her accent is that, if the show is filmed on location in New York City, I would think that they could find an actress that has a real Jersey accent and some chick from L.A. with a sorry-ass Jersey-Girl-wannabe accent. So anyway, the non-Jersey Jersey Girl thinks that Bobby is groovy, but Bobby doesn't really pay attention to her, and Kim is slightly amused by it all.

Cut to Sullivan and Ty in the locker room of the precinct. Sullivan is walking out and Ty is still in the shower, but there is only a low wall between the showers and the lockers, so Ty sees Sullivan leaving and asks him if he wants get something to eat, and Sullivan says no, and then Ty is all, "Hey Sul, I'll see you tomorrow." And Sullivan is all, "Right." And he leaves, and that scene seemed so uncomfortable to both of them and really unnecessary as well. I guess the producers thought the ladies at home would like to see a little beefcake, because Ty does have a nice chest.
