Previously on East New
York... Think fast.

What's up, man?

One of my cops arrested
a female for shoplifting.

He may have used

an excessive amount of force.

Gabe Finley.

High number of CCRB
complaints against him.

I want him on the day tour.

That way, we can
keep an eye on him.

I've got an undercover...
Sean Dryden.

You suspect I'm less than
genuine when I'm with you?

You've lived a double life
long enough for me to wonder.

Yeah. Who are all
these tough guys?

Oh, I hired a chef.
The New Yorker

had a thing on him.

Yeah, does he have
a name, Corinne?

George Pappas.

I locked him up.

Finley's got to
stay on a late tour.

You can have the late tour
platoon commander monitor him,

but, uh, you can't move him.

And that
union trustee has

nothing to do with it?

I'll let you draw
your own conclusions.

I mean, I wouldn't have
put it quite that way,

but if that's how you feel,

I'll take it.

I got to go.

Regina, come on, please,
chill with me for a minute.

You know, some of us

Hey.

Wow.

I can't believe you're back.

Good morning, Inspector.

Oh, let me take this
in for a second.

I, uh, didn't know if
I'd ever get the chance

to see you reporting for duty
again, and now that you are,

I can't tell you how
happy that makes me.

I'm happy to be back.

So, the doctor says
you're fit for duty,

Psych Services says
you're fit for duty.

What do you say?
Absolutely fit for duty.

And you would say
if you weren't?

Yes, I would.

Yeah, I understand you
want to get back out there.

I would urge you to just...

watch for signs that may
tell you you're not as ready

as you think you are.

I-I will. Okay. Uh, yeah.

You promise? I promise.

It's good to have you back.

It's good to be back.
All right. Okay.

Morning, Captain.

Bentley, welcome back.

Let me guess.

You're about to tell me you like

working on a desk. No, sir.

No shame in it. Not at all.

It's possible, after
all these years,

you might actually like
being a house mouse.

I know there are vital
functions performed

by members of the service

inside the confines
of the precinct.

Members of service like myself?

Yes, sir. But that's not you.

No, sir. No.
Your place is on the street.

For 26 years.

You realize that your actions

might have resulted
in a considerably

longer stretch of modified duty?

Yes, sir. Were it not for the
influence of Chief Suarez,

you might have been suspended.

Hell, you could've been fired.

I-I know...

my punishment was
far more lenient

than what could have been.

Well, I think you've
earned such consideration.

I'm just an old
war horse, Captain.

Saddle up.

Thinking about taking
some of the vacation days

I have saved up.

Oh, yeah? Yeah,
go someplace warm.

Oh, yeah? Mm.

My folks have a
condo in Saint Croix.

If they're not using it,
you're welcome to it.

Don't you have to clear
it with them first?

What? You're gonna
trash the place?

Hell, yeah, I'm gonna...

No, I ain't gonna trash the
place. So it's no problem.

7-4-David.

Respond to a 30 with a firearm
at 8384 New Lots Avenue.

4-Eddie backing up.

Here we go.

Hey.
Hey. Hey, we're in here.

You hear that? We're inside
the vault behind the...

Police. Anybody in
there? - Hello!

We're in the vault
behind the counter!

The lock's busted.

4-David to Central.

Be advised the victims
are locked in a vault.

We're gonna need ESU over
here to get it open. Over.

4-David, we copy.

All right, we're
good. Yeah, go for it.

Go on.

Oh, thank you so much.
You guys, go. Go.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Damn.

We're starting
to get a detailed report

of what he thinks is missing.

This your place?

Yeah. Yeah, uh, Jamal.

What's your last name,
Jamal? Jamal Hayes.

You call in that there
was a robbery in progress?

I had a gun to my head.
I saw one of my customers

in the window.

- He must have called
it in. - Okay.

This is Jamal Hayes.
He owns the place.

Hello.

Officer Haywood.

That's "Inspector."

Oh, do I know you?

You're one of the cops

that arrested me for
selling marijuana.

When did I do that? 2007.

I was in Narcotics.

Sold six and a half
ounces of herb,

and did four-and-a-half
years in Elmira.

Well, there was a
mandatory minimum sentence

in effect back then.

Yeah, laws were different
back then, right?

Okay, can you ID, uh, the
person who robbed you, Jamal?

Uh, everything happened so fast.

I didn't get an eye on them.

If you could give
us height, build,

anything about their
physical description,

that might help.
Nine millimeter.

That's all I saw was a gun.

What they take? Almost
everything. I mean,

all the cash that I had on
hand. Yeah, how much was that?

$85,000.

Had a scheduled pickup
for later this afternoon.

All right, let us do our
thing. With jobs like this,

we sometimes zero in on
a suspect pretty quick.

Won't matter.

I lose that much
cash, I'm wiped out.

Again.

What a tragedy, huh?

One less place to buy weed.

I'd say a guy who spent
four-and-a-half years in prison

for doing what now
isn't even a misdemeanor

deserves some kind
of consideration.

Treat it like an armed robbery.

Just leave it at that.

Yes, boss.

Two dispensaries in
our precinct, two dispensaries

in the 8-2, one
dispensary in the 8-9.

It has been deemed a
pattern, Inspector.

All hit by three-man crews

wearing hoodies,
armed with handguns.

From the amount reported
stolen, it looks like

these dispensaries were all hit

when there was a fair
amount of cash in the till.

Yeah, given the amount
of people smoking weed,

there might always be a fair
amount of cash in the till.

There is
a new city agency

that's serving as
a clearing house

for legalized cannabis sales.

You should check with them and
see who's listed as licensees.

Yeah, city agency.

Established solely
for the purpose

of people who want
to get loaded.

Well, it's a pretty
universal desire.

Yeah, but does that mean
we got to cater to it?

Sorry, Father Killian. Forgive
us, for we have sinned.

Yeah. Where do you stand

on this, Inspector?
I don't like it.

More young people'll be
getting high, driving high.

But I'm not saying that
I want them in prison.

I have no doubt
that there will be

unintended consequences
from the legalization.

What's crazy is, you're the
one who collared this guy

for intent to
distribute. I know.

Why he was given priority
in being granted a license.

Which isn't to say that
four-and-a-half years in prison

is a good trade-off.

Yeah. No, it's not.

None of us had a choice.

The old drug laws didn't
do anyone any favors.

Right in here, sir. Thank you.

Uh, give me a
moment alone with the chief.

Ronnie, would you mind
bringing the car around?

Yes, sir.

You making the rounds at
the borough here, Raymond?

One of my
favorite things to do

is to get out into the field,
meet the people where they live,

take the pulse of this dirty
little town, and, of course,

check in with those I rely
on to keep me apprised.

Well, it seems like
not much gets past you.

You must have quite a
few of those around here.

I want one.

To be successful in politics
long-term, you need someone

you can trust to tell you
what you don't want to hear.

There's a lot of smart people
hanging around the halls

of city government, John.

A lot of people who
smile out their mouths,

but in the end, are too invested

in their own careers
to be counted on.

Wow. That's, uh,
quite a wind-up.

What's the pitch?

I'm officially announcing
my run for mayor.

I get elected, I
want you for P.C.

Bad idea.

Why?

I'm a two-star chief.

You'd be jumping
me over the heads

of three-star chiefs,
a four-star chief.

Plus, if you wanted
to go outside

the department, at
least... I don't know...

A half dozen police
commissioners

from other cities
who would do you

a hell of a lot more
political good than I would.

First Puerto Rican
police commissioner.

Oh. I'd say that does me
a lot of political good.

That's a demographic that
you're really worried about?

It's about building bridges
between communities.

I don't know that I
want to play that role.

And I don't know that
I'm going to win,

but since it's just
you and me talking,

could I ask you to at
least be open to it?

As long as that's
all you're asking.

Okay.

Someone I'd like you to meet.

Ah, ah.

Allison, would you mind
stepping in for a minute?

Allison Cha,

Chief Suarez.

Allison is a very important
addition to our team.

She cut her teeth on some
tough political campaigns.

Worked for Carville,

interned for Bob Strauss.

Hmm. Knows
when to cut and run.

Knows when to come out swinging.

Very nice to meet
you, Chief. Pleasure.

Now, I have some official
duties to take care of,

but I wonder if I
can impose upon you

to give Allison a crash
course in the current

state of affairs regarding
crime and policing.

I've got a
pretty full day here.

Perhaps we can schedule
this, uh, at another time?

Uh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Once
the announcement goes public,

things are gonna move
fast... Of course.

I will call your
office and schedule.

Okay. Remember where you
were this morning, John.

This is where it all
got started. Thank you.

So, you, um... you smoke
weed every day, or just

when you're kicking it
with the Snoop Dogg, huh?

Do a little... Yeah?

Look, as long as you know

when they're going to be
doing the drug tests, right,

so you can use a masking agent.

I'm sorry, Tommy. Have you
been sitting here long?

So, sale of marijuana is
legal under state law,

but not under federal law.

Yeah, and this is
interesting why?

Most dispensaries don't
accept credit cards.

Sales are in cash,
so the night before

they make a deposit, there's
a lot of cash on hand.

Yeah, actually,
Detective Redundant,

we kind of knew that
already. Well, I'd maybe

try and figure out who knows
when those deposits get made.

Oh, would you now? We're
heading over to the office

of Cannabis Management
to go through

the list of licensees.

Let me know if I can help.

How long are we stuck with him?

The website is
designed to log in

cannabis dispensaries'
inventory,

payroll and banking records.

These are the listed owners,

dates and times of
scheduled delivery.

Who has access to this website?

People authorized by the agency.

Law enforcement, obviously.
Yeah, let's see what you got

for, uh, Royal Kush.

Named licensees and investors.

Look who's one of the investors.

♪ Ice cold whispers
breathing down my neck ♪

♪ And I feel the
air get thicker ♪

♪ Lungs contracting... ♪

Why are you doing this?

The guy's listed as an investor
of a place that got robbed.

That not reason enough?

You've had it in for
this guy since day one.

You think maybe my
girlfriend hiring him

had something to do with
that? Hiring him, by the way,

without asking me to vet him,
without asking my opinion?

How dare she
have been so independent.

You know, this is why I don't
talk to you about these things.

You talk to me about
them all the time.

You wanted to see me?

You know someone
named Jamal Hayes?

Uh-huh.
You were locked up

at Elmira together.
What's going on?

Has to do with an investigation.

Yeah, I think we need to, uh,

take a ride over to
the precinct, George.

Uh, we're setting up for
lunch. Can this wait?

- No. I'm sorry, honey.
- There anything

I can do to convince you
I'm not a criminal anymore?

Probably not.

Hey.

There's a real good
reason for this, right?

We'll see.

So, you advanced
Jamal Hayes $25,000

to get him started in
the dispensary business.

So where'd he stand as
far as paying it back?

I wasn't worried about it.

That's not what I asked you.

He paid it down about $5,000.

What was the vig?
There was no vig.

That's pretty
generous of you.

You could've put that
money on the street

and been making
three, four points.

I consider Jamal a
friend, all right?

I wasn't gonna make that money
off him. Hmm, but you did

take a piece of his business.

And he was in on the
ground floor as far as

legal marijuana
dispensaries, right?

I think he stood to
make a good living.

I think he
stood to make a killing.

Which means you stood
to make a killing.

And if your good friend Jamal

wasn't coming across with
a piece of the action,

is it possible that you'd go
in there and take it yourself?

That's-that's not what I did,
that-that's not what I would do.

Hmm.

Oh, it looks like you racked
up a few moving violations.

And now, there's a warrant.

If you call my parole
officer, he'll confirm

that I cleared any
outstanding warrants.

But in the meantime,
I have to hold you.

So why don't you, uh,

turn around and
assume the position?

Got any weapons

or anything sharp on
you?

Can I talk to you?

Why don't you have a seat?

What are you doing?

This guy's behind that robbery.

There's no evidence of that.

That's what we do now...
Find the evidence.

Chief. Regina.

You need me for something?

I heard it was Officer
Bentley's first day back at work

so I wanted to stop
by and wish him well.

He's on patrol right now,
but can 10-2 him if you want.

Oh, nah, that's-that's
not necessary.

Okay.

Regina?

I know you think I was wrong

to stop you from putting
Officer Finley on a desk.

We have a disagreement
about that.

But I wouldn't want it

to overshadow our
working relationship

that we've built
up over the years.

I don't want that, either.

You making any headway on that
pattern of dispensary robberies?

Some.

Keep me in the loop.

Okay.

Hey. How you doing, Jamal?

I'm all right.

Yeah, we understand that
you might've been behind

in your payments to
George Pappas, that right?

Yeah. I was gonna make a payment
out of the 85 they took from me.

And was Pappas leaning on you?

I wouldn't say that.

Were you counting on him
to be infinitely patient?

He knows I'm good for it.

What are the chances

he was behind the
robbery, Jamal?

Zero.

I'd trust
George with my life.

Ah. Easy Wind
Cannabis Dispensary

on Rockaway and Livonia
just got stuck up.

Yeah, that's the
8-2. Yeah. No.

A security guard thinks he
might have hit one of the perps.

We need to survey area
hospitals. Thank you.

Thank you.

I thank you so much for taking
the time to meet with me, Chief.

I know you've got
a busy schedule.

If you, uh, have questions,

I'm... happy to answer 'em.

Great. So tell me, what
do you make of the fact

that according to statistics,
the city is safer now

than it was in the '90s?

1990s. I think that's true.

Yet, there's been a significant
increase in violent crime.

And if you're the
one getting robbed

or stabbed or
punched in the head,

statistics mean
absolutely nothing.

So, what does the
police department need

in order to stem the tide?

That's complicated.

Support.

Resources, personnel.

Withholding judgement

until all the facts
are in when there is

a police-involved shooting.

Hey, most cops are good cops.

They come to work wanting
to do good, most cops,

and to be able to go
back to their families

in one piece after their tour.

I would love to see you
make that speech on CNN. No.

That is not likely. I have a good
friend that does their booking.

Yeah. You are exactly the kind
of pundit they're looking for.

I'm not a pundit.

Exactly.

Let me ask you a question.

Sure. Ask me anything.

You actually want to see
Raymond Sharpe elected mayor?

Well, if I'm working
for him, I do.

Yeah, just forget all that.

How would he be for the
people who live in the city?

I think he would be effective.

His agenda might not

neatly coincide with
yours or mine, but

I think there'd be
significant areas of overlap.

Overlap.

So what are you
looking for from me?

Well, right now, somebody who
has their ear to the ground.

With the community,
the city council,

executive staff of NYPD.

And who else are you
talking to about that?

Right now, it's just you.

♪ Yeah, yeah ♪

♪ They said I'm stealing
hip-hop, but I'm really not ♪

♪ I'm just trying
to make a change ♪

♪ I ain't never want
to steal nothin'... ♪

Mr. Emerson.

We're from the 7-4 Precinct.
I'm Detective Morales,

this is Detective Killian. We
want to ask you some questions.

I don't know who shot me if
that's what you're gonna ask.

It was in the vicinity
of Cleveland and Linden

is where you told
the EMT it happened?

Right.

But you didn't see who
might've thrown the shot?

Did not. If you
don't mind my asking,

what were you
doing around there?

Checking out the neighborhood.

Why is that? Struggling a bit

since I got out of the service.

Rent's being what
they are, needed

to look for a place that was
a little more affordable.

And you were thinking
about East New York?

Couldn't be worse than Fallujah.

Ah.

That was a... that was
a bad one, wasn't it?

What? Did you read about it?

Yeah, I wasn't there.

Nah, you were back here,

strutting around,
blowing the lid off

of street-corner drug dealers

and Joker Poker machines.

Yeah. Nobody was doing any
strutting, Mr. Emerson.

What we're looking to blow
the lid off of is the robbery

of the Easy Wind
Cannabis Dispensary.

You wouldn't happen to
know anything about that?

Not a thing.

You gonna have a story
ready when it turns out

the security guard
from Easy Wind ID's you

as being who he shot during
the course of a robbery?

He ID's me, it'll be
because... Mm-hmm.

He's got me mixed up with
some other broken down vet

waiting for his
benefits to kick in.

Wouldn't be me.

Yeah. Broken down.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Did it seem strange that
every time a job came over

the radio for us, we had
backup? Not particularly.

That fender-bender
on Atlantic Avenue.

Sector Charlie backing up.

The disturbance in the
unemployment office.

Sector Adam backing up.

Cops backing up cops isn't
a strange occurrence, Andre.

That's what cops do.

Somebody went through
what we went through,

I'm sure we'd be the same thing.

Yeah, I-I just don't
want to be treated

any different than I
was before I got...

you know.

Well, uh, I wouldn't... I
wouldn't worry about it.

Nobody's treating you
all that different.

You prefer, uh, almond
milk or oat milk?

Hey, where's the
guy who was in here?

Haywood said to cut him loose.

She say why? I
didn't ask her why.

But she wants to talk to you.

Yeah. I want to
talk to her, too.

Yeah?

Hey. I'm a little
confused, Inspector.

I was just told that you
released an individual

I was holding in the squad room?

What were you holding
him for, Detective?

I like him for one of
the dispensary robberies.

It's a pattern robbery
so if you like him

for one, you like him
for more than one.

Okay, I like him
for more than one.

Based on what?

Based on he loaned a significant
amount of money to Jamal Hayes,

had not been paid back, had
done time for armed robbery.

And is currently employed

as a cook in your
girlfriend's restaurant.

That-That's not
why I-I like him.

I think it is, Detective.

And before you make a mistake

that has far greater
consequences,

I'm taking you off the case.

I'm having Troy team
up with Morales.

With all due respect, I think
that is totally unwarranted.

You're lucky taking you off
this case is all I'm doing.

Oh. Glad you're keeping Haywood
up-to-date on our cases.

She wanted to know why
we were holding him.

Based on the gunshot wound

and the security
guard's description,

they granted a warrant to
search Emerson's apartment.

Oh. Sounds like you
two make a great team.

Thank you.

Why don't you take the bedroom?

Your friend Killian
ever gonna let up on me?

I don't know. That's
between you two.

It's not like I'm
trying to move in

on whatever it is
he's got going.

Hey, Desmond, what
did I just say?

Yeah, but no doubt he's running
me down to you all the time.

I mean, can you at least
stand up for me a little bit?

What am I, your mother?

Forget I mentioned it.

Guy lives like he's
still active military.

In more ways than one.

That's our friend Chip Emerson,

and that's the guy
Killian and I interviewed

in the office of
Cannabis Management.

They were soldiers together.

They're still soldiers.

They're just on the other side.

Mr. Hayes?

Hey. The detectives

that are handling your case
are tied up at the moment.

Okay. Uh, is there
some sort of form

I could fill out, uh,
to get the money back?

Uh, have they recovered
the money? No, no, no, no. I...

I just want to get my paperwork
in just in case they do.

Okay. You know what?
Let me actually

just go... Uh, hey. Hey.

Hey.

Oh, that's, uh...
that's my daughter Nina.

Oh. It's nice
to meet you, Nina.

Nice to meet you.

You doing a portrait of someone?

Just a sketch.

Ah. Okay.

So, Mr. Hayes wants
to find out about

getting the money back that
was taken from the robbery.

All right, uh, first,
we have to find out

who committed the robbery.

I get it. I was just
trying to figure out

whether or not I'd be able
to keep the dispensary,

or I have to go out

and get another job.

And with my record,

I don't know what kind
of job that's gonna be.

Yeah. Uh, uh, Mr. Hayes,

I-I don't know what
to tell you right now.

Yeah, I know.

I cannot believe what I did
to this guy back in the day.

Sending someone away for
four-and-a-half years

for six ounces of pot?

Yeah, that's tough,
and Elmira, no less.

We're not just sending him.

His daughter grows up
missing her father.

His wife divorces him.

His mother dies with him
upstate. It's insane.

You were a cop working
Narcotics, Regina.

You were doing what
you were told to do.

I know.

Legislature makes laws.

Departmental policy
is to enforce them.

That's the way it works.

I have a really difficult time

letting myself off that easily.

Yeah, well, try getting to know
someone for a couple of years.

You're spending Thanksgiving,
their daughter's quincea era,

and then putting them
in prison for ten years.

Hey, what do you tell yourself?

Oh. Oh, what do I tell myself?

I tell myself it's my job.

Some days I hate it,
some days I love it.

Most days, I don't
think about it.

Oh, I have to get back.

Come on. Walk me
to the corner.

I got to do something.

You're back.

A couple of things
we didn't cover.

Where's the other guy?
He couldn't make it.

Hmm. You know someone

named Charles Emerson?
Also goes by Chip?

Why don't we go speak
in my office? Yeah.

So, you know him?

Yeah, he was in my
unit in the Army.

You talk to him lately?

What, is... he in trouble?
Why would you think that?

You guys aren't here

just to pass the time of day.

So, what did he do?

We think he may
have been involved

in a robbery of a
cannabis dispensary.

Doesn't surprise me.

Why is that? We
served together.

I was his platoon
sergeant, and, uh,

a while back, he told me

he was going through
a bit of a tough time.

I tried to help.

Help him how?

Just spotted him a few bucks.

Let him crash on my
couch when he needed to.

Mostly just talked to him.

He give any indication
he was doing robberies?

No, but, uh, one time
when he was staying over,

he got into my computer.

Probably 'cause
I was real sloppy

at the time and then
left the website open.

We'd like for
you to take a ride back with us

to the precinct, Mr. Green.

Mr. Green, we have
enough evidence right now

to turn the case against
you over to the D.A.

And he'll go before the Grand
Jury, and in all likelihood,

get an indictment against you

for conspiracy to
commit armed robbery.

I was nowhere near the
place when it got robbed.

You didn't need to be.
You provided information

for the commission of the crime.

That's the thing about
working for the government.

They keep track of whatever
you look at on your computer.

- But you know that.
- We know you picked

which dispensaries
to hit and when.

You're gonna have to give
us something, Mr. Green.

Like what?

What can I give you?

If you want to significantly
reduce the length

of your sentence, you're gonna
have to make it irresistible

for your coconspirators to
pull down another score.

Can you do that?

Look, since this
is all pretty new,

a lot of the dispensaries
that just opened,

they have non-operational
security systems, so...

This your phone? Yes.

Pick one. I want it hit today.

You know,
I don't miss it.

What's that? Getting high.

That's good.

You know, I thought
when I quit smoking weed

to go on the job
that... I don't know...

Like, things
wouldn't be the same.

Like, listening to music
wouldn't be the same.

Hanging out with my friends on
the beach wouldn't be the same.

Loving the way the hot sun feels

beating against my face
wouldn't be the same.

It's good you don't miss it.

There were three of 'em

Given one of 'em got shot,

in all likelihood,
now there's two.

Well, there's a lot more of

Yeah, and we're ready for 'em.

You got it.

Take it easy. There's a
vault downstairs, right?

Uh-huh. Let's go downstairs
and open that vault.

I'm happy to open the vault.

Just take it easy
with the guns, okay?

Okay.

You're
under control, right?

Don't move. I won't.

Do what I tell you and no one
will get hurt. Someone's coming.

Keep your mouth shut.

How's it going?

You want to get the cash
or you want me to...?

I'll get the cash. Okay.

Did you get your
hot lunch? I did.

Get down on the floor
now! Take it easy.

Don't tell me to take it
easy. Do what I tell you

or I'm gonna put one
right in your skull.

Get your hands up. Sorry!

Just take whatever
you want to take, man.

Why don't you let
me worry about that?

You got something else to worry
about. Oh, yeah, what's that?

Look down.

NYPD!

You're surrounded, son.

Drop the gun.

Now!

Give me your hand.

Yeah.

Yeah?

I'm not trying to reinstate
myself or anything, boss.

I just happened to be
there when we got word

you wanted to see him so
I brought him downstairs.

Oh, yeah.

Here you go.

It's all right, Detective.

As far as I'm concerned, you've
been chastised sufficiently.

So long as the gentleman you
placed in the holding cell

yesterday doesn't file
a civil complaint,

I'll consider the matter closed.

Okay?

Okay.

Two of your crew

were caught red-handed.

Your testimony,
in all likelihood,

will get the third
one convicted.

You could conceivably

reduce the length of
your sentence further.

You don't have to
spend it at someplace

like Elmira, you don't...

How?

Your crew took a dispensary

for $85,000 yesterday.

I want that money back.

I never would've taken you
for a shakedown artist.

The money belongs to the
man you stole it from.

Make it easy for the both of
us, and tell me where it is.

Under the rug in my bedroom
there's a, a floor safe.

Hey.

Do you want a menu or
you know what you want?

Is he here?

George?

Hey.

Let me know if I
should call a lawyer.

I jump to conclusions.

All right, it's not an
unusual trait among cops.

Take what I know about your
life, which isn't a lot,

and then I judge you
based on what I know.

That and the fact that you
work for my girlfriend,

as I hope you understand,
her wellbeing is

the most important thing
in the world to me.

I do understand that.

So then I...

take what I know,
and I act on it.

Sometimes I'm right.

In your case, I was wrong.

I should've treated you
respectfully, but, um...

I-I was wrong.

I'm sorry I put
you through that.

I, uh...

I've never had a cop
apologize to me before.

You're a citizen now, George.
You deserve an apology.

So I, um, I apologized to him.

Well, I guess that covers it.

Hey, the guy, he did time
for armed robbery, Corinne.

I mean, what am
I supposed to do,

think of him as being
above suspicion?

This isn't about him.

It's about you.

The only reason you have

for dragging him out of here
is that you wanted to be right.

So you just use your authority

and your little gold shield
and you made everybody

that works in that
kitchen with George

and George's sister and
George's wife scared to death

you were gonna find a reason
to send him back to prison.

Yeah, but I didn't.

You're a bully, Tommy.

I don't want to be
with you anymore.

You got
a minute? - Sure.

Mi casa es su casa. Come in.

When I was in
Narcotics, we did a lot

of buy-and-busts
in South Jamaica.

I know it well.

Even though we targeted
heroin and crack cocaine,

if you were selling marijuana,
we grabbed you up, too.

Who are you trying
to get out of prison?

His name's Jamal Hayes
and he's already out.

Because anyone who did time

for marijuana is given
priority in the awarding

of marijuana
dispensary licenses,

Jamal borrowed money, he
set himself up in business,

and he was on his way to
making a halfway decent living.

When what happened?

He was robbed.

His inventory was wiped out.

His cash was wiped out
to the tune of $85,000.

What do you want to do for him?

I got one of the perps
to give up the money.

And you want to
return it to Jamal.

Okay.

I just wanted to see

if you'd back me up first.

I will absolutely back you up.

Thank you, Chief.

Hi.

How long have you been
waiting out there?

Uh, not long. I just
wanted to catch you

before you left for the day.

I guess you want an answer.

I kind of need one.

If what you're looking for
from me is information,

with certain limitations,

I'm willing to provide it.

I mean, it makes so much sense
if somebody's running for mayor

they'd want to be...

as informed as possible.

What kind of limitations?

If it compromises an
ongoing investigation

or, if in my judgement,
for whatever reason,

it shouldn't be shared,
then it won't be.

I don't think I can sell that.

And I assume that if you can't,

uh, I won't be
asked a second time.

That's the way it usually works.

And whomever imposes
no limitations

and no conditions,

they'll be our next
police commissioner.

They'll want it
more than you do.

No doubt there's
another candidate.

There always is.

Tell Raymond there are
things that I'll do.

There are things
that I won't do.

And I will live with
whatever he decides.

Okay.

Here it is, Jamal.

85 grand.

Oh, my God.

You didn't deserve
to go to prison

and you didn't
deserve to get robbed.

I didn't expect someone
to make it right though.

Whatever we can make
right, we should.

I'm gonna have an officer

escort you to the bank,
'cause I wouldn't want

to see you get
robbed a second time.

No, we don't want that.

No.

Take care.

Thank you, Inspector.

Yeah.

All right.

Thanks.

What's the story
with those boots?

Those are Vonny Briggs's
boots. That was his locker.

How'd he die? He
got out of his RMP

on the Belt Parkway to assist

another driver who
had broken down.

Got run over by another driver.

I stayed out of the shop a lot
longer than I had to, Marvin.

When was that?

Today at that dispensary.

I went out to the
car to get my phone

and I stayed out there hoping
that whatever happened...

inside happened while
I was out there.

That if anybody had to get shot,

it wouldn't be me.

You knew ESU was on the scene.

But you didn't stay
out there, right?

No, sir.

That's what matters.

That was sweet what you said

to me this morning. Oh, yeah?

What did I say?

Well, you told me what it
was like doing your job

and it made it a little
easier for me doing mine.

Well...

I'm glad I could be of service.

Thank you. Mm-hmm.

Hey, how was everything?

Everything was great, thank you.

Great. Thanks.

I like that she asked that.

Why is that?

She's not indifferent.

Hmm. Acted like

she wanted us to have
enjoyed dining here. Hmm.

Did we?

I think we did.

Mm-hmm, I did. Yeah. You did?

Mm-hmm.

I did.
