Hitchcock & Scully
episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine
"Hitchcock & Scully" is the second episode of the sixth season of the American television police sitcom series Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and the 114th overall episode of the series. The episode was written by Lang Fisher and directed by Cortney Carrillo.
In the episode, Jake and Charles investigate a case from Hitchcock and Scully's younger days to determine if the two older detectives are withholding stolen cash.

Gina helps Holt prepare for a television interview but ends up taking it herself.
Plot
In a flashback to 1986, a young Scully (Alan Ritchson), and a young Hitchcock (Wyatt Nash) take down mafia boss Gio Costa (Daniel Di Tomasso) with the help of Marissa Costa (Decker Sadowski), Gio's wife. The episode cuts to the present day with Captain Holt (Andre Braugher) calling Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) and Charles Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) into his office to tell them that Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker) and Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller) were contacted by someone in Internal Affairs who has reopened the case. Holt suspects that Commissioner Kelly (Phil Reeves) is trying to create a scandal and sends Jake and Charles to reevaluate the case. Jake and Charles interrogate Hitchcock and Scully. Hitchcock tells Jake that they took down Gio, then intercepted a ton of cocaine and three duffel bags full of cash.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Hitchcock & Scully” as episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 13, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q85766872. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1986.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
