00:05What were you thinking?
00:09Good to see you, too.
00:11You told the IG that he slipped and fell?
00:14Yes.
00:15Did you actually think he was going to believe that, McGee?
00:19No.
00:19Then why'd you say it?
00:22Why'd you even say it, Tim?
00:24Because I felt trapped, okay?
00:27Because my only other option...
00:29It's my problem.
00:31It's not your problem.
00:33I give you an order.
00:35I expect you to follow me.
00:36I understand that, but I can't just throw you under the bus.
00:39Your job is not to protect me.
00:42And it's not my job to bury you, either.
00:46You want to know what I was thinking, boss?
00:48What were you thinking?
00:49I wasn't.
00:57I thought about those dogs.
01:01That's it.
01:03I reacted.
01:04Well, I just thought about you, and I reacted, okay?
01:07So I guess we both messed up.
01:09But I'm not going to let you throw everything away over one mistake.
01:13What mistake?
01:15The one that landed you in here and standing in the hospital.
01:18Are you kidding?
01:19You said that you weren't thinking.
01:20I wasn't.
01:21But I wouldn't change a thing if I was to do it all over again, Tim.
01:26That son of a bitch was torturing those dogs for fun, and he did what he did.
01:31I did what I did.
01:34We should both pay.
01:37Well, I'm worried that you're going to be the only one, Payne.
01:40We don't have enough hard evidence tying Stan into the dogs.
01:44I mean, we're going to lean on them again, but...
01:46No, but nothing, Tim.
01:50Look, I put you in a tough spot.
01:52But if there's anybody who can do this, it's you.
01:57Get him!
