I thought she was suspended.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Well, looks like u took down the wrong perp, Wilansky.
𝐃𝐫𝐞
All right, Unit One Charlie. One Charlie. Looking for?
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
White male mid-20s, medium build, brown hair.
Presumed armed, definitely dangerous.
He might have two little girls as hostages.
𝐃𝐫𝐞
All right, let's move. Move.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
And remember the knife tattoo on his arm.
𝐃𝐫𝐞
Move. Go, go, go.
You better be right.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Phone ringing stood back for a second to answer Thomas.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚

I got the guy who did this.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
What?
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Don't worry, he's conscious, okay?
I'll hold him till u get here.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Where are u?
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
I'm at Iris's.
Tupac has the girls.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Okay. We're already here.
You need to get out now.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Looking around after hearing footsteps
Now looking for a way out
𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬

Coming down the basement
Tackles him to ground  before he could see Lisa
Beat him unconscious
𝐒𝐚𝐦
Grunting growls
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Panting Stop! He's out, he didn't see u! Lisa, stop!
We need him alive.
I can prove that he's guilty, Iris goes free.
Trying to calm her down stop. Lisa.
Place my hands on her cheek Lisa those girls are okay because of u.
You saved a child's life yesterday.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Slowly calming down
FEW MINUTES LATER
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Bringing the suspect out
𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐤𝐲
What the hell?
How'd u disappear and suddenly have the guy?
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
That's female energy for u. (engine starts)
𝐃𝐫𝐞
We placed the perp in Iris's car at the time of impact thanks to DNA material, which u asked Dallas to test, even though it wasn't your case.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
We were backup.
𝐃𝐫𝐞
Which turned out to be chewing tobacco, which matched the chewing tobacco that u stole from a club that u entered without a warrant or a badge.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Okay, but on the other hand, we tracked Sam to Iris's apartment with an actual warrant...
𝐃𝐫𝐞
Hold on. And based on protocol, with these infractions, she should be demoted... to garbage.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Is that code for something?
𝐃𝐫𝐞
It's code for garbage.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Come on, Dre,
She broke the case.
𝐃𝐫𝐞
She broke a lot of rules, but on behalf of my friend Judge Hanson...
I'm glad u did. But as head of this department, rule is...
I got to give u desk duty. One week.
Softly Nice work.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
I spoke with a caseworker at the State Department.
I explained to them that your sisters are key witnesses in a high-profile prosecution.
He thinks we can get them asylum.
I didn't want to expose them, Iris, truly, but...
I didn't have a choice.
𝐈𝐫𝐢𝐬
You saved their lives.
Not just me.
See my lil sisters running in excited and shouting hugging them
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Phone rings Hey.
How'd the inspection go?
Are u celebrating?
𝐃𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐬
I believe I am, if drinking to excess in the privacy of my lab qualifies as a celebration.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
So, it went well?
𝐃𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐬
Everything was in order.
No demerits. Inspector man barely made eye contact with me as he left the door 
You know, I didn't think I was nervous, yet I find myself flooded with relief
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Me, too. Who would I rope in to my off-the-grid investigations if not u?
𝐃𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐬
Well, come any time.
My door is always open.
𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐆𝐮𝐲#𝟏
I went to the morgue.
The samples were there.
𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐆𝐮𝐲#𝟐
Just as u suspected.
𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐆𝐮𝐲#𝟏
We'll understand more once these are analyzed, but... it's now confirmed-- Lisa Lopes is very much alive.
And Rozonda Thomas is going to bring her to us.
It's time to act.
LATER ON A UNKNOWN ROOFTOP
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Smiles I'm fine.
How are u?
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
I'm good
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
So, how are the girls?
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
They're good.
Thanks to u.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Chuckles That little one was funny.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Chuckles
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
It felt good, u know.
Helping.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Worth the risk?
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Yeah. Although, uh, Tupac is developing an ulcer.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Well, luckily, u can treat that.
You know, I think I've had unrealistic expectations.
That u can... communicate or be in the outside world.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
I wish I was Batwoman, too.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
I just wish u were a normal Woman.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Ouch.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
That was not what I meant.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Without all the baggage.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Okay.
What I am trying to say, badly, is that...
I get it. In order to be in contact with u, it has to be on your terms.
It's just... u know, it's hard.
But I'd like to make it work.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Then maybe we need to revise the terms.
Just in case.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
You want to help again.
Okay, here's one
A week can't go by without one of us reaching out to say, "I'm still alive."
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Fine. But my place? u can't go there. Unless it is a dire emergency.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
How am I supposed to know what qualifies as a dire emergency?
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
You call me and u ask.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Chuckles taking the buner phone from Lisa
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Don't get too excited.
It's only good for three more days.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Then what happens?
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Then... we play that one by ear.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Smiles looking at her
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Looking back at her smile
LATER ON AT ROZONDA APARTMENT
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Hi, Dad. It's me. Um... I talked to Aaliyah.
I am sending you my RSVP card.
No plus-one, but... that does not mean that I am alone in the world.
