NYPD BLUE Pilot Revised Network Draft 9/18/18 47.
Lazarus is talking to a UNIFORM, when she looks over to the water and something catches her eye. HER POV: Theo standing at the shoreline staring out at Manhattan across the East River. EXT. SHORELINE - DAY Lazarus approaches Theo and stops a few feet away. He doesn’t look over. His eyes are red. LAZARUS You alright? THEO Yeah, I just need a minute. She nods, and is about to walk away, but stops and walks over to him and rubs his arm. An unspoken invitation to unburden himself. He looks at her, nods, appreciates it. Then -- THEO (CONT’D) As much as this city and this job has given me... it’s taken. (beat) I lost my dad. My mom. My brother, who I never got to meet. (beat)
I don’t know what I’m still doing here sometimes. Why I keep putting myself through this.
Lazarus’s heart breaks for him. LAZARUS
They died defending this city. (beat) You’re here to honor them. Off Theo, cracking in two, looking out to the city. END ACT FOUR
