[edit] Plot Summary
Two men dressed as NYPD officers assault women and children from their cars in side streets and its up to the real FDNY to find these men before citizens report the real officers.
[edit] Plot Details
At Kim's urging, Jimmy agrees to keep their burgeoning relationship a secret from both their son and the firehouse. Sully and Ty discover a woman in her car who has been raped, beaten and robbed, and runs in terror when she sees them. Sasha and Cruz discover a woman who has been beaten and robbed near her car. The woman is unconscious, but her young son, who is hiding nearby, runs in terror at the sight of them. The cops realize there are two men posing as cops and terrorizing the neighborhood. Once the news gets out, being a cop becomes dicey. Sully and Sasha have to chase an elderly woman down who drives dangerously just to get away from them. Bosco and Cruz find themselves questioning, and pissing off, other cops. Kim, driving her mother's car, is pulled over by two cops, and realizes something is amiss. She maces one of them and runs for it, screaming for help. Cruz and Bosco notice her pulled-over car and come to her rescue. In the ensuing gun fight, one of the fake cops tries one last time to trick the cops into thinking he is one of their own, but Bosco sees through him. Kim, safely back in Jimmy's arms, says she wants to tell everyone, including Joey, that they are back together. When Sasha considers taking the sergeant test, Cruz mentions that she was promoted meritoriously for actions in the field, and worries that she's not a good boss since she never took the test.
[edit] Trivia
- The fake cops that pulled over Kim had the number 38 on their collars of the NYPD uniforms. That number lets others know the number of their precinct. Later on when Bosco and Cruz catch them, Bocso ask for I.D and he says his name is Hanson from Housing. If he was from the housing division, his uniform would have had HPB on the collar.
- The fake police car that pulls Kim over has a flashing blue light on the front, which is not an emergency color for police cars in New York as its red.
[edit] Quotes
- Davis: I think I’m gonna get this coat.
Sully: Alert the press, Moe. - Moe: You want the old uniform; traditional, professional. That would’ve looked nice on you.
Davis: Yeah.
Sully: Like a wool straight-jacket.
