Jake: While, Jeremy Irons is a popular actor, William Atherton is clearly the better villain in Die Hard.
Lansing: You didn't get demoted from Atherton to Irons, you got demoted from boyfriend to ex-boyfriend.
Lansing gets a text from Captain Holt.
Lansing: I gotta go.
Charles: So sad about you and Amy, I can't believe the worst ship is back together.
Jake: I have to use someone to make her jealous, and I know just the person.
Blair: I'm a magnet when it comes to men, everyone always finds me beautiful.
Jake: This is to get me back with Amy.
Blair: Still, the 99 has a problem with Teddy.
Terry: Most boring man alive, Captain needs everybody in the briefing room. Where's Amy?
Charles: Probably with Teddy.
Terry: She's gonna miss briefing today I guess.
Jake: That's right.
Holt: Listen up, I spoke to the LAPD, some of their Detectives will be merging operations with us.
Lansing: Be on your best behavior, focus on work and professional matters here, personal at home.
Holt: The commissioner put the 99 out of service due to this.
Jake: Why?
Lansing: He thinks that the 99 needs one free day.
Holt: We don't always get those.
Jake: Someone's here, looks like a cop.
Lansing: He is a cop.
Someone walks in.
Holt: Can I help you?
Dan: Detective Daniel Espinoza, LAPD.
Lansing: I've heard about you, Espinoza, you are gonna be pretty useful for cases.
Dan: Chloe's here.
Chloe, Lucifer, Ella and Maze walk in.
Lansing: Decker, I remember working alongside you on a case once.
Chloe: Rape case, began in LA, moved on to New York.
Lansing: That's the one.
Lucifer: Lucifer. Morningstar.
Lansing: Captain J.D. Lansing, this is Captain Raymond Holt.
Lucifer: Nice to work with you guys.
Holt: All of you guys are now with the NYPD.
Lansing: This is New York, not Los Angeles. We do things differently here.
Holt: Example, partnership assignments, Jeffords and Lansing took care of that.
Lansing: Mr. Morningstar, you and Detective Decker will be seperated.
Terry: You're with me, she's with Peralta.
Holt: Two tough people in the house.
Lansing: They go together.
Terry: Also, Boyle, you're with Espinoza.
Amy: Sorry I'm late, new Detectives, hello.
Dan: Hey.
Holt: We're handing out partnership assignments.
Lansing: Santiago, with me.
Amy: Copy, Captain.
Holt: Dismissed.
Everyone heads out of the briefing room.
Lansing: First of all, welcome to New York.
Chloe: Thank you, can't wait to discover more about this city.
Lansing: This is a good city, trust me.
Lansing gets a text.
Lansing: Jake, Leon needs us, Decker, with us.
Chloe: Copy that.
Jake, Lansing and Chloe go down to the 2nd floor and Leon's corner.
Lansing: Leon, something going on?
Leon: Amy was late because of Teddy, she's thinking of transferring to another precinct.
Jake: What!?
Lansing: Why?
Leon: She wants to work in the same precinct as Teddy.
Chloe: What do you mean by same precinct?
Lansing: Teddy's down here.
Leon: Amy's thinking of getting a transfer to this floor, Captain.
Lansing: Holt's like a mentor, don't think he'll let that happen.
Leon: Agreed, Amy's one of his best Detectives.
Jake: Exactly, if Teddy pops the question, she's definitely gonna say yes now.
Lansing: Unless, you team up with someone to make her jealous.
Jake: Oh, I already did. I got Blair to do it.
Leon: Blair's a magnet when it comes to men, everyone's gonna be jealous of you, not her.
Jake: She could also make Amy jealous.
Chloe: I saw Blair actually. She is gorgeous, you made the right decision, Peralta.
Lansing: You did. A word?
Jake follows Lansing by the elevator.
Jake: I know, I'm definitely gonna make Amy jealous.
Lansing: Chloe's showing clear signs of attraction.
Jake: She and I are just friends. Blair's on my mind, not or never Decker.
Lansing: Charles wants you back with Amy. Blair is the key.
Jake: Amy and I will be back together by tonight.
Lansing: You better be.
Leon: Jake, you are required on the police floor, same with you, Lansing, bring Decker with you.
Lansing: Thanks, Leon.
The trio head back to the 4th floor.
Lansing: Something going on?
Gina: Boyle and the tech analyst requested to talk to you three.
Dan: Lucifer's already in there.
Jake: What's going on?
Charles: I told Ella here everything about you and Amy.
Ella: She made a mistake by dumping you for her ex.
Lansing: We call him the most boring man alive, I call him my one of my men.
Charles: She also told me about you and Lucifer, Detective Decker, you kissed once, that's all.
Chloe: Meant nothing.
Lucifer: Not a thing.
Lansing: You three are on a stakeout tonight with me, Decker and Leon.
Chloe: There's a gala that Peralta's going to with Blair and Santiago's going to with that Teddy guy.
Charles: You're trying to make Amy jealous. Blair's the perfect woman for the job.
Ella: Not exactly. She's a man magnet.
Lucifer: I got clinged to her immediately.
Ella: Also because, I spoke to Blair and we have a problem, she has plans for a date tonight.
Lucifer: I confronted her about it. She basically forgot about it.
Lansing: Great, we need to find another woman.
Jake: Decker is off of stakeout duty.
Lansing: What do you mean?
Chloe: I'm going with him. I was the alternative.
Lansing: Now the chances of getting Amy back are way less.
Charles: Very bad, Jake.
Lansing's phone rings.
Lansing: Lansing.
Teddy: The entire precinct is going to the gala apparently, no stakeout duty.
Lansing: Thanks.
Lansing hangs up the phone.
Lansing: The gala is a mandated event, everyone's going.
Charles: Even you?
Lansing: Even me.
Lucifer: That's fantastic.
Blair heads in.
Blair: I'm bringing my date to the gala.
Lansing: Copy, Blair.
Gina: A dark black skinned guy is here.
Lucifer: That's for me, sorry.
Lucifer heads out.
Charles: Everyone can leave now.
Lansing: Thanks, Chuck.
Jake, Lansing, Chloe and Lucifer head out.
Lansing: We need someone to investigate.
Chloe: We know who to get.
Lansing: I'll get Pimento.
Jake: We will know by this week at the latest.
Lucifer: Earliest?
Jake: 2 days.
Chloe: The gala is tonight, everyone has to go, mandated event.
Lansing: Guys, he's doing it.
Jake: Thank god.
Lansing: Here comes someone we hate.
Jake: Deputy Chief Madeline Wuntch.
Wuntch: Hello, Raymond.
Holt: Madeline, what brings you here?
Wuntch: 2 things, 1, to the new Detectives, welcome to the NYPD, 2, I expect to see you and Kevin at tonight's gala.
Holt: We will, you witch.
Wuntch: See you there, you bitch.
Dan: What's going on between you two?
Holt: We hate each other.
Lansing: Also an enemy of mine.
Jake: Wuntch hated both for a long time.
Kevin arrives at the precinct.
Holt: Kevin, hold on a minute.
Kevin: Heard some new faces were here.
Jake: Kevin, that is true.
Kevin: I'm sorry about you and Amy, but it looks like you clearly recovered.
Jake: New Detectives are a blast to have around.
Leon: Jake, Lansing, you two are gonna want to see this.
Lansing: Peralta, let's go, Kevin, good to see you again.
Kevin: You too.
Jake and Lansing go to Leon's corners.
Jake: What's going on?
Leon: The gala is all good to go, looks really gorgeous.
Lansing: Good work.
Leon: The real reason why I called you two down here, is because Jake actually looks like he's a part of a couple when he's with Decker.
Lansing: What about Amy?
Leon: He looks more real when he's with Decker since deep down Amy was a complete opposite to Jake.
Lansing: What do they have in common exactly?
Leon: Both were only children, both were in relationships that ended badly and most important is the connection to their fathers.
Lansing: Roger left you when you were only 7, and John Decker died when Chloe was in college.
Jake: Oh, no, it's true, I look more real when I'm with the other woman, but I still want Amy back.
Lansing: Charles would be devastated to find this out.
Leon: Same with the new tech analyst.
Jake: Who knows what they'll say.
Cuts to people in tech corners.
Charles: Hell, no, you want Amy.
Jake: I do, but Leon brought it up that I look more real when I'm with the other woman.
Ella: More real when you're with someone else. Not cool.
Lansing: He's getting Amy back tonight with Chloe's help.
Charles: Then life will be back to normal. Right now it's like a bizarro world.
Lansing: That is true.
Jake: Bizarro worlds are completly wrong.
Lansing gets a call.
Lansing: Lansing.
Pimento: Teddy and Amy are together right now for a reason, he asked for her help.
Lansing: For what?
Pimento: Love, this is gonna be permanent, I'm sorry.
Lansing: Thanks, continue digging and see if you can get anything else.
Pimento: I will.
Lansing hangs up the phone.
Lansing: That was Pimento, Teddy asked Amy for help coming to love, it's gonna be permanent, I'm sorry.
Jake: As long as I get her back tonight, I'm gonna be fine.
Charles: It's gonna be perfect by tomorrow, I'm gonna be there.
Lansing: We all are obviously.
Later that night
Lansing: Well, on the outside it doesn't look bad, it's probably gonna look better on the inside.
Jake: This place does look better on the inside.
Dan: Let's go, guys.
Everyone is in the gala room.
Lansing: It looks really perfect, guys.
Holt: Good decorations.
Kevin: Everyone looks amazing tonight.
Lansing: They really do.
Holt: Nobody looks better than us.
Lansing: Exactly.
Lansing goes towards Charles.
Charles: There's Amy, she didn't notice so far, but it will only be a matter of time.
Lansing: She'll notice him eventually.
Charles: She's gonna be jealous when she sees him with another woman.
Lansing: Very true.
Jake: Guys, what's going on?
Lansing: Looking at Amy, she has yet to notice you two.
Chloe: I figured, she must be too distracted by Teddy.
Charles: We don't want that.
Chloe: Santiago needs to be jealous, or else we're gonna have a problem.
Lansing: So true.
Ella: She notice yet?
Jake: No, too distracted.
Amy comes towards them.
Amy: You guys are perfect tonight.
Lansing: Thank you, we appreciate it.
Amy: You really do. A lawyer's coming soon.
Lansing: What would a lawyer be doing at a police gala?
Amy: Investigation.
Lansing: Know who the lawyer is?
Amy: Not yet, I just found out about it.
Lansing: OK, thanks for the update.
Amy: I'll keep you posted.
Charles: She did the look.
Chloe: What look?
Charles: The "I'm with someone else now" look.
Lansing: No. That's bad news.
Chloe: No luck so far.
Lansing: Boyle, with me, we need to talk.
Jake: You look amazing tonight.
Chloe: Well, thank you, chose it myself.
Jake: Nice.
Charles: We got a problem, Leon just confirmed that she is committed.
Jake: No.
Chloe: Son of a bitch.
Lansing: Nothing you can do about it, Jake.
Charles: I hate to say this, while we work to get you two back together, it's best that you move on.
Jake: I'll try my best, but it will hurt emotionally.
Lansing: I figured you would say that.
Charles: We will work hard.
Lansing: Deep down she will realize she still loves you.
Jake: Hopefully.
Charles: We'll have Pimento investigate more tomorrow.
Jake: Thanks for the support.
Jake walks towards Captain Holt.
Holt: Peralta, you look sad.
Jake: I can't get Amy back, she's committed to Teddy.
Holt: I heard, she's thinking of transferring.
Jake: You won't let that happen.
Holt: I would turn the transfer down.
Jake: You would make the right decision.
Holt: Peralta, move on, focus elsewhere.
Jake: Thanks, Captain.
Jake walks back towards Charles, Lansing and Chloe.
Lansing: Well, well, well.
Jake: What?
Charles: Amy's out for the night with Teddy.
Jake: I need to stay somewhere else tonight.
Lansing: I'm not asking, you're staying with me tonight.
Jake: Thanks.
Lansing: No problem.
Chloe: Guys, Teddy came to me, we got a problem, we're out of here for the night.
Jake: I just remembered, I already packed up my stuff from the apartment.
Lansing: Good timing.
Chloe: You can't stay with Lansing tonight.
Jake: What?
Lansing: Why not?
Chloe: Entire block got evacuated.
Jake: Great.
Lansing: I'm investigating. Get the bomb squad there.
Chloe: Got it.
Charles: Why is he leaving early?
Jake: His block got evacuated, he's teaming up with the bomb squad to investigate.
Charles: He shouldn't be there, should he?
Jake: Normally no, but he's a cop, so he's helping them investigate.
Charles: Jake, you can stay with me, Nikolaj is at a sleepover tonight.
Jake: I am not.
Charles: Why not?
Jake: I'm staying somewhere else.
Charles: Best if you move on, everyone said that to you.
Jake: That is true.
Charles: We will work hard to get you back with Amy.
Jake: I really appreciate that.
Charles: Absolutely.
After the gala
Jake: Sure it didn't succeed, I would still like to thank you for your help.
Chloe: I'm not jealous or anything but, deep down she still loves you, not Teddy.
Jake: Amy could only love one person.
Chloe: While you lost your girlfriend and everyone gave you the advice "move on". I will not stop until you get Amy back even if I get attracted to you myself.
Jake: Which I think you are.
Someone Jake never thought he would see again appears in front of them.
Sophia: Jake, we need to talk.
