All language subtitles for East New York - 01x13 -.KOGi

Previously on East New York...

I can't believe you're back.

Today at the dispensary,
I went out to the car.

I stayed out there hoping

that if anybody had to get shot inside,
it wouldn't be me.

There's an Antoine Jordan
who has a podcast.

I take you seriously
as a journalist, Mr. Jordan.

This is Don Jankowicz, Union
Trustee from Brooklyn North.

She's really going after this kid,

Gabe Finley, like she's
got it in for him.

I am officially announcing
my run for mayor.

If I get elected, I want you for PC.

Allison Cha is a very
important addition to our team,

knows when to cut and run,
knows when to come out swinging.

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

and it made it...

a little easier for me doing mine.

I'm glad I could be of service.

Um, I got to go.

Just... Just let me...

- Let me drive... Let me drive.
- Andre.

You want to drive? Let's go.

- No...
- Babe?

No, I don't want to.

- No. No! No!
- Bentley!

- Hey. Hey.
- Huh?

Hey, it's okay.

It's me. You okay?

What...?

You were just screaming in your sleep.

I'm fine, I'm fine.

- You sure?
- Yeah, yeah.

What were you dreaming about?

I don't remember.

- Was it about the shooting?
- No.

Andre?

Andre.

Good morning.

My name is Regina Haywood,

I'm the commanding officer
of the 7-4 precinct.

There's been an overall lack

of communication between
the NYPD and the community.

And I'm here
today to address that, in my precinct.

Thank you for doing this.
I'm here along with

- some other mothers.
- Hi, good morning.

Thank you.

And we would like for our children

to feel safe walking to and from school.

You have an absolute right
to expect that they would.

There are things we're doing
to make that a reality.

We've increased
the number of patrol cars.

Cars don't do us any good if they're

ten blocks away.

But we're also putting
more cops on foot posts.

All due respect, seeing five officers

reading their phones
on a street corner...

don't make us feel safer.

We can significantly increase
our coverage of the area

by having cops assigned
to solo foot posts.

You mean cops walking
a beat by themselves?

That's exactly what I mean, yes, ma'am.

You're saying
all the right things, Inspector.

I'm not asking to be judged
by what I say, Mr. Jordan.

You don't have to worry about that.

The people around here
want to see results.

You think maybe you could've
run that by me beforehand?

I apologize, I...

You got to know you can't
institute a change like that

without the approval
of the Chief of Patrol.

Probably the PC, as well.

Well, I think that we've come up
with a viable workaround,

- regarding that.
- Huh.

We're going to institute
a Twelve-By-Twenty-Hundred Tour

and deem it a special operation.

What do you think the reaction
of the union is gonna be?

- Not good.
- They're gonna go nuts.

They're gonna say
you're putting cops' lives at risk.

That's part of the job.

They'll work adjoining foot posts,

they have radios and guns.

They are trained. And they'll
be monitored by their sergeants.

What they won't be doing
is watching videos on TikTok.

Uh-huh.

I wasn't sure...

what the rest of my
day was gonna be like...

I know I should've talked
to you about this first

But now I know:

I'm gonna spend it answering for you.

You do agree that it's worthwhile
to at least give it a try?

Yes, I do.

Good.

Good. At least we've
got him on principle.

Everybody stay behind the tape
please, for your own good.

All right? Stay back.

It's for your own safety. Thank you.

What's it look like?

The fire's under control,

there's no casualties
that we know of, so far.

Fire Marshall?

Deputy Inspector Haywood of the 7-4.

Fire Marshall Greenville.

We do a building search yet?

Not yet, Deputy Inspector,
because we just got the fire out.

Any ideas as to cause?

Probably electrical.

With all the chemicals
used in these hair salons,

all it takes is a spark.

Marshall.

They found a body.

The ME's office will
take care of notification

of the next of kin,
once we figure out who they are.

My guess is they're right there.

Hmm?

She wants solo foot posts?

Got a lot of support at the
community meeting this morning.

And the first time there's
a police-involved shooting?

- That support disappears.
- I know.

The same ones who say that
they want a cop on every corner,

they're the ones that are gonna be
calling you an occupying army.

You watch.

Most people will be happy about it.

If cops are visible
and they're doing their jobs.

What about the police unions?

They gonna be happy about it?

They definitely will not
be happy about it,

but they can be managed.

I am counting on those unions
for their support, John.

This is not just a matter of managing.

Increased police presence.

I mean, if it's effective...

that's not a bad thing
to run for mayor on.

Your Inspector Haywood is not
the one running for mayor.

If what she's proposing is successful

and has community buy-in,

there'll be enough credit to go around.

And if she's not successful,
there will also be enough blame.

Uh...

- Hello?
- That's it.

Hola? Uh...

- Good boy.
- Hola.

I think you should find

- another place for Fido.
- I'm sorry.

He's still having separation issues.

Likes to keep me in sight.

- Okay...
- Oh!

Dr. Ken Corley.

Uh...

From the medical examiner's office.

Uh, Detective Morales.
This is Detective Killian.

It's a pleasure.

Inspector Haywood speaks
very highly of you.

Oh, Regina.

She's actually the one who convinced me
to come back to all this.

After Cindy passed,
I thought I needed a break.

Tried upstate, Schoharie County.

Beautiful place.

But not a lot of crime scenes.

And not a lot of corpses.

Hey.

You guys here for me?

Careful.

Uh...

Anything?

Initially, we were thinking
acetone flashover

with electrical origins

because, you know, the wirings
are usually a rat's nest

in these old buildings.

But... then we found this.

What's that?

Spalling.

Caused by expansion
or contraction of the concrete.

Usually indicating
the use of an accelerant.

So, arson.

In most cases.

It's no longer considered dispositive.

So not like an empty gas can?

Well, uh, actually...

we have some new toys these days.

Tandem spectrometry.

Pretty good at determining
which chemicals shouldn't be here.

And that is the remains of a safe.

Contents unclear.

Okay, so you're thinking

our John Doe goes for the safe,
sets the fire to cover,

and gets trapped in his own blaze.

Could be.

Or the poor bastard could
just be collateral damage.

Much as I hate to be
the fella who always says,

"We can't jump to conclusions,"

it happens to be an especially
bad practice in fire cases.

Things will always surprise you.

All right, well,
way I see it, we got two jobs.

You help us ID our John Doe

and we figure out who'd have
a motive to torch this place.

Indeed. What did Hal Holbrook say?

"Follow the money."

That's what I'm thinking. Insurance.

We're on it.

Who the hell is Hal Holbrook?

All right, let's see.

Take this maybe, yeah.

- Hey.
- How you doing?

I'm good.

Um...

How's Andre doing?

He's doing okay.

Just okay?

- What about when he's with you?
- Yeah, no, same.

- Hmm.
- Um...

A little shaky at times.

- But, you know...
- That's to be expected.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely.

You can't hurry up
the process, you know?

I don't really think
that I'm doing that.

Well, see... You know...

Not everyone is cut out
for this kind of work.

You think that maybe he's not?

We'll see.

You're the one training him,
so I don't...

I don't know,
you're in the best position

to know if he is or isn't.

Which is why I say... we'll see.

You know...

I've been training him a bit, myself.

Spare me the details, please.

Are you sure?

- Hey.
- Hey.

What's so funny?

I was just showing Marvin that, uh,

that video of the raccoon and bulldog.

I love that one.

Yeah, that's funny.
It's such a good one.

- I knew he'd like it.
- That's pretty good.

This one, she
says she wants Ghana braid, 40-inch.

- But she bring...
- Hey.

Can I help you?

Yeah, we're detectives
from the 7-4 squad.

We'd like to speak with the owner.

The owners are Mohamed and Adama.

They're in the back. Please, follow me.

Show me picture, yes?

Mr. Gueye?

Detectives Morales, Killian,
from the 7-4 squad.

We're here to talk to
you about the fire.

Mohamed Gueye. My wife, Adama.

We don't know yet whose body they find?

- Not yet.
- It's looking like

the fire might've been set, Mr. Gueye.

Who does this kind of thing?

That's what we're hoping to find out.

Yeah, how's your business doing?

Okay.

We expand from one location
to three locations.

So you still have two up and running?

- Yes.
- All right,

we'll want contact information
for your insurance carrier.

You think we set fire
to our own business?

It's standard to look
into the insurance policy

in the case of arson.

Is there any employees
you think we should talk to?

Is there anyone you let go recently?

The manager at Dakar Salon #1.

He steal from me. I fire him.

- We're gonna want to talk to him.
- Yes.

Do you have his contact info?

We have W2

with an old address.

He moved around a lot of the time.

We do everything legal.

What's his name?

Cheik Sy.

23 years old.
Came over from Senegal when he was 12.

You know, I was interested
to find there's upwards

of 25,000 Senegalese living in New York.

He have a rap sheet?

Yeah, one arrest

for assault, said he, uh,
threw a guy out of a salon

for harassing one of the girls.

Charges were dismissed.

You need to talk to
some of the other employees,

preferably not
with their bosses present.

You know what language
they speak in Senegal?

It's called Wolof.

Never heard of that.

Foot patrols
might sound like a good idea,

but you got to look at the results.

Now, also worth noting
the Knapp Commission says that

putting cops on foot
inevitably leads to corruption.

Hang on a minute.

Solo foot posts may be the worst idea

to come down the pike in a while.

But it's not 'cause cops
are easily corrupted.

It's 'cause cops get killed.

Thanks to the reckless policy
put in place

by Deputy Inspector Regina Haywood...

And I will call her out by name...

Police officers are about
to become sitting ducks.

We allow this to move forward,
their blood will be on her hands.

Sharpe is having a meltdown.

Look, he is willing
to support Haywood to a point.

But he is not willing
to be the punching bag

for the police union.

Police unions adapt to circumstances.

There are all kinds of things
that they objected to

when first introduced,

ultimately they found
they could live with.

You need to tell Haywood
that solo foot posts

are a non-starter.

I just gave her the go-ahead.

Then tell her that you applaud
her taking the initiative

but, uh, it warrants further study.

Sharpe wants to pull her back,
he tells her himself.

That's not how it works, John.

Sharpe gets to be Santa
and hand out the presents.

Everything else, we take care of.

I never said that I was down with him

dictating departmental policy. No.

Solo foot posts are a bad idea.

The optics of sending cops out into

high-crime areas alone is bad enough.

Should one of those cops get shot?

They're disastrous.

I suspect...

that you can find an artful
way of letting the idea

die a natural death.

I thought you didn't know
anything about police work.

I'm a quick study.

You're not in any trouble, Fatou.

We just want to find out what happened.

- Okay.
- How well did you know

the former salon manager Cheik Sy?

Not really so much.

I just do my work.

I don't deal so much with him.

So, Cheik Sy was your direct boss?

Yes.

Good boss, bad boss?

Very good.

You know why he was fired?

I don't know this.

Let me ask you, um...

think it's true he stole the money?

I don't think so.

Do you know where we can find him?

Do you know where
we might find Cheik Sy?

I don't know this.

I know he with his sister
in Brownsville.

We go to the same mosque.

You ever see Cheik Sy outside of work?

Never.

Just to get to get together after work?

Or on holidays?

I don't see him.

I don't talk to him.

I don't know.

Killian.

Yeah, I'll be there in a minute.

So, I originally thought I could
get prints from the body

using high-contrast Mikrosil casting,

which usually works. In this case,
not so much.

So, I took a shot and tried

a post-mortem computer tomography scan.

Which enabled me to find...

...these.

- Those are bullet fragments?
- No.

Okay, so what are they?

Burnt into the subderma
of the left nostril,

and both right and left lobules...

Ah, piercings.

Correct-a-mundo.

Piercings that match these piercings.

Ah. Yes.

Well, that's who we've been looking for.

Question is, was it
an accident or murder?

We're sorry for your loss, Safara.

But we have to ask you a few questions.

And we think Cheik died in the fire.

What are you saying?

We know he was fired
recently for stealing.

We think he may have started the
fire and been unable to get out.

My brother don't steal.
My brother don't set fire.

Is it possible he kept it
from you that he was stealing?

He start acting different.

Start staying out late,

not telling me where he was going.

He was on the phone all the time.

Who was he on the phone
with, do you know?

It would be a big help.

I looked at his phone

to see who he was talking
to every night.

I-I wrote it down,

but I was too scared
to ask him about it.

Everyone love him.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Don Jankowicz called.

He wants a face-to-face meeting.

We've also heard from
the Sergeant's Union.

They want the same thing.

Schedule something
with the both of them.

Hold on.

Do you want to wait

on implementing the solo foot posts
before you meet with them?

I do not. I'll speak to their concerns,

but this doesn't hinge
on their approval.

I think it's probably best if I
couch that in diplomatic terms

before I respond to them.

Look, I believe in what you're doing,
I understand why you're doing it.

I'm just afraid that
the forces arrayed against you

may be overwhelming.

I expect to have the support
of Chief Suarez.

If it's politically advantageous,

I expect to have the support
of Deputy Mayor Sharpe.

I also just might have the support

of the people who live in East New York.

And you have me.

And I have you.

We got to go slow
on the solo foot posts.

Slow as in forget it?

I didn't say that.

To introduce something out of the blue

with no recent data, with no
studies having been conducted...

I think you're making it
unnecessarily, uh,

difficult on yourself.

Let me ask you a question, Chief...

What changed between
this morning and now?

What changed is that I had the time

to think about what you want to do

and to confer with people about it.

Would one of those people
be Raymond Sharpe?

As a matter of fact, it would.

Let me guess. He doesn't
want to piss off the unions.

There are consequences
to pissing off the unions.

And they're not just
political consequences.

It goes to how willing
cops are to take direction.

It affects the way they do their
jobs when no one's looking.

You can't just ignore those things

and make like they don't exist.

Is that why you went behind my back

to convince Internal Affairs

not to conduct an investigation
into Gabe Finley?

Regina, it didn't warrant
an investigation.

That doesn't come from Raymond
Sharpe or the police unions.

- This is your determination, right?
- Yeah.

My determination.

I want to know who I'm dealing with.

You're dealing with
the same person you dealt with

since he was a patrol sergeant.

What would happen if I went ahead
with the solo foot posts?

You'd be disobeying a direct order

and, in all likelihood, you'd
be stripped of your command.

You're doing a good job here, Regina.

I don't think you want that to happen.

The problem, Fatou,

is that when you lie
to us about one thing,

we have to assume you're
lying to us about everything.

What do I lie about?

Well, not talking
to Cheik Sy, for starters.

His sister said
you talked to him every day.

She don't want I talk to him at all.

That's why I don't say anything.

Why's doesn't she want you
to talk to him at all?

Jealousy.

Also, my boyfriend's jealous.

What's your boyfriend's name?

Why is that important?

Because we have to
verify your story, Fatou.

His name's Tarique.

Where can we find him?

Tarique Niang?

What's up?

Detectives Killian and Morales.

We'd like to talk to you about Cheik Sy.

What about him?

Were you aware that your girlfriend
was in a relationship with him?

This is America, right?

Fatou can do what she wants.

Thanks for the civics lesson,
but according to your girlfriend

you're the jealous type.

She say that?

Mm.

Where were you when
the hair salon caught fire?

Here. I was working.

So I could go in there,
talk to your supervisor

and get them to pull your timecard
showing when you punched in

and when you punched out, right?

Do it, yeah.

Oh, we will.

I can't believe you'd think
I was jealous of Cheik.

Why is that so hard to believe?

He don't even like girls.

Tom Killian.

You open the attachment I sent you?

Yeah, it's coming through now.

A coronal reconstruction

showing deep laterocervical
wound with clean edges.

Yeah. In English, please.

Cheik Sy was stabbed in the neck.

Judging from the wound,

he was dead before the place
went up in flames.

In which case, the fire
was set by someone else.

These scissors were found near the body.

Edge consistent with Cheik's stab wound.

No usable prints, though.

No usable prints.

Well, fire will do that.

Tarique also took a collar
for menacing with a knife.

Hey.

I got hold of Cheik Sy's
credit card statements.

It seems as though he hits a place
called the Toolbar

out on Long Island about twice a week.

And we know what kind of place it is?

It's a gay place, Tommy.

- It's a gay bar.
- All right.

So he has a girlfriend
and he a frequents a gay bar.

In and of itself, nothing extraordinary.

But we don't know how
prevalent bisexuality is

in the Senegalese community.

We could also allow for the possibility

that his girlfriend
isn't really his girlfriend.

I might bet on that one first, Captain.

So Tarique and Fatou are both lying.

We should put a tail on them.

Do it.

Thanks for coming in.

I don't get summoned to a precinct
commander's office all that often.

Had to know what it was about.

What it's about is putting more

cops on high-visibility foot posts.

We'll still have six
to eight sector cars,

but we'll rotate
enough cops on each tour

to have cops walking
a steady beat as well.

Don't tell me you're actually
consulting with me

about how to deploy your officers.

I listened to your podcast
and you have had a lot to say

about police funding and tactics,

about the role police play
in the life of the community.

So, because you are
listened to in the community,

I want to know

whether you endorse putting
more cops on the street

who actually get to know

the people they serve. And if you do,

I want you to broadcast that.

I used to like being on foot posts.

Now, when I think of it,

the only thing comes to mind
is me freezing my ass off in wintertime

and how my feet will be
hurting all year long.

I wouldn't mind a foot post.

What do you think,
it'll be like Mike the Cop

on Abbott and Costello?

Hey. I-I don't
know who any of those people are.

That was the image
of the cops back then.

You know, two rows of brass
buttons up your choker,

you know, twirling your shillelagh.

- Your what?
- Your shillelagh.

- That's the billy club.
- Oh, okay.

He knows everybody, everybody knows him.

How fast you think you're gonna get
to the crime scene on foot?

I mean, obviously a radio car
gets you there faster.

Ah, doesn't matter,
radio car or foot post.

You can't show up to the
party late, either way.

What are you trying to say, Marvin?

Are you gonna tell me how long
it was that you waited outside

while we were set up on
that marijuana dispensary?

It was a few minutes, I don't know.
Does it... does it matter?

It might've.

Why are you throwing this up to me now?

Because I said to you

that what mattered was that
you eventually went inside,

but that was wrong.

What really matters is
that you left me in there

one second longer than you had to.

I'm sorry.

Heads up.

We have movement on Tarique and Fatou.

All units, they're traveling.

We will distant follow.

We're heading into the Warehouse
District in Long Island City.

7-4 squad in position.

They pulled over on 29th Street.

Seems like
they're waiting for something.

Heads up, Morales.
There's a truck coming your way.

All units, eyes open.

What the hell are they doing?

I don't know.

Tarique and Fatou are on the move.

We'll follow on foot.

Are they trafficking people?

- We got to move.
- All units, move in.

Police! Freeze!

I got this one.
Up against the van! Right now!

Police! Don't move!

Stop! Keep your hands up, don't run!
Turn around.

Police! Freeze!

Stay right there.

Put your left arm behind your back.

So, what, this is some kind of
work off your debt till you die plan?

Okay.

Is the translator here yet?

What do we have?

Modern-day slavery.

The women were promised jobs

to help take care of their
families back in Senegal.

Here's a blanket.

Really, they were being trafficked.

- Salon workers?
- Probably.

They end up working 14 hours a day,

then have to kick back
to their traffickers.

- Where are you getting this from?
- Her name is Fatou Diop.

She was friends with that guy
that was burned up in the salon.

She and her boyfriend
Tarique led us here.

He was filming what was going down.

Hi, Ms. Diop, I'm Deputy
Inspector Haywood.

How'd you come to know Cheik Sy?

I told him my secret and he told me his.

His secret being that he was gay.

His parents sent him and his sister

to America as soon as they realized it.

In Senegal, he would
have been put to death.

Why didn't you tell my detectives this

when they first questioned you?

If they would kill Cheik,

a citizen of this country...

what would they do to illegals like us?

What would who do?

Mohamed and Adama.

The owners of the salon where you work.

They took our passports away.

Told us never, ever

tell the truth about
how we came to be here.

Or they would take it out
on our families back home.

I was too scared
to say their names out loud.

You don't have to be scared anymore.

Earlier...

when you and Sandeford were talking
in the breakroom and I walked in,

you weren't talking about
some funny video, were you?

No.

I asked him how you were doing.

If you want to know how I'm doing,

you should ask me how I'm doing.

But I do ask you, all the time.

I don't want to be asked all the time.

Okay. Okay, so I won't ask you.

That's not... That's
not what I'm saying.

I just don't want to be
looked at with concern.

Okay? And I don't people wondering

if I'm all right. If anybody
asks you, tell them I'm fine.

Okay. Why are you yelling at me?

I'm sorry.

Andre, what...

What can I do?

Nothing.

Okay.

Jay, you're the one who's going to be

handling this case on
the prosecution side.

Do you have enough, as of now,

to bring trafficking charges against

both the husband and wife,
the salon owners?

We do, but trafficking prosecutions

are complicated and messy.

The defense is sure to raise
the consent issue and there are

jurisdictional issues
between state and federal.

Yeah, homicide
prosecutions easier for you?

It isn't a matter of easier, Detective.

There are fewer moving parts.

What are the chances
we get the couple to go for it?

Well, I'd say, uh,
there's a better chance

we get the wife to flip on her husband.

Keep in mind there's a time factor.

They find a judge who lets them
post bail, they're gone.

Okay.

First-time mayoral candidate

seen frequenting Goody's.

Might be a good thing.

Take a look at this.

Okay.

How can there be trust between
the police and the people

when the totality of the relationship
is drive-by or bust?

The answer is: there can't be.

Which is why
Deputy Inspector Haywood's plan

to expand foot patrols is a good plan.

You used to know them,
you could talk to 'em.

When it's a familiar face,
that's who you go to.

If I'm walking by you every day,

if I know your name, there's
a whole lot better chance

that we're gonna come
to an understanding.

You feel what I'm saying?
It's just common sense.

The police union can be
counted on to oppose it,

but let whoever's gonna
be our next mayor

walk through neighborhoods like

Cambria Heights or-or Mott Haven
or East New York

and they will find there are few things

as welcome and effective as
getting cops out of their cars.

80,000 hits and counting.

I thought you were
gonna take care of this.

I spoke to Inspector Haywood.

She put her plans
for solo foot posts on hold.

She have anything to do
with this guy running off at the mouth?

I have no idea.

It's not as though
she's the first or only one

to advance the merits of foot posts.

Or solo foot posts, for that matter.

It puts Raymond in a tough spot.

No, I understand.

As long as Haywood
holds off on solo foot posts,

there's nothing new.

I got to take a position.
That's what's new.

I have to answer questions.
All while I'm trying to

negotiate with the police union
for their endorsement.

Did I need this?

I told you there are things I can do,

there are things that I can't do.

So long as it isn't contrary
to departmental policy,

I won't supersede

a commanding officer's authority
to deploy her officers

as she sees fit.

I would have preferred
to control the timing of this.

But I think it might be possible
to turn it to our advantage.

How so?

How's this?

"I would support

"whatever deployment
approach proves itself

"to be most effective,
cost-efficient, and...

doesn't sacrifice
the safety of our officers."

You.

Huh?

She's good.

Yeah, she's good.

Gorée Island. Do you know it?

Everyone in Senegal knows Gorée Island.

20 million Africans passed
through in chains, forced into slavery.

I know this.

You and your husband didn't need chains.

You brought these women here,

lied to them about jobs,
took away their passports.

They were your slaves.

They were not slaves.

Sit down.

I want to talk to my husband now. Huh?

He can't help you, Adama. Now sit down.

Anything, Doctor?

You find any evidence
as to how Cheik Sy was killed?

Quite a bit.

And all very conclusive, I'd say.

Radiological scans

combined with cyanoacrylate
fuming measurements.

And most importantly, both eccrine

and apocrine function
showing sebaceous oils

in a grabbing pattern.

Dr. Corley is with
the medical examiner's office.

They lifted your husband's fingerprints

from the scissors
he stabbed Cheik Sy with.

Have a pleasant afternoon.

Bravo, Doctor.

I don't know what you just said,

but I'm guessing you know what happened
in the salon that night.

Take us through it, Adama.

Tell us the truth.
Maybe we can help you.

How can you help me, hmm?

Well, if you didn't kill anybody,

if you weren't bringing
workers in illegally,

you might get off light.

My husband...

bring girls over to work in the salons.

Sometimes he bring girls over
to work for other people.

Cheik...

...he start

to ask questions.

"What kind of jobs?"

"How much they pay?" "Is it legal?"
"Is it illegal?"

My husband, he say, "This is
none of your business."

Cheik...

he talked to the girls,
get them all worried.

Now they start asking questions.

We meet... Cheik that night

and my husband offered him money...

to stop.

He called us toubab.

What is that?

A white person.

A slave master.

They were in the basement,
but I could hear them yelling.

When I came downstairs,

Cheik was lying on the floor,

bleeding from his neck.

Who started the fire to cover it up?

My husband do.

He say it's the only way.

I just read over her
statement, it looks good.

Yeah, Dr. Corley here put on a
masterful performance.

And there's nothing
that'll be challenged in court?

Absolutely not.

I pride myself on coming
right up to the line

but never going over it.

Yeah, he implied
that there were usable fingerprints

found on the murder weapon.

Statements made in reliance,
thereon totally admissible.

I'm familiar with Dr. Corley's approach.

We go back a long ways.

Yes, we do, my dear, yes, we do.

I'm, uh, I'm sorry about your wife.

What?

Oh, my God, is she okay?

She's fine.

Uh, she-she's with a book group
up in Reykjavik.

Yesterday, we-we thought that you,

- you said she passed away.
- Yeah, you did.

No, I-I said Cindy passed away.

Cindy was his dog.

Oh, a dog.

She lived to be...

19.

Oh, so cute. I'm sorry for your loss.

That's a beautiful animal.
I hope she didn't suffer.

Oh, thank you, I...

I'm still getting over it.

But the puppy you met
yesterday is helping.

Okay.

Whenever you're ready, Chief.

Thanks.

Hey, not ideal if you're staking me out.

I've been known to be pretty determined.

So, um...

in light of our previous
conversation today,

I thought we might review the bidding.

- Okay.
- It occurs to me

that I might've been
selling a little too hard.

Selling Raymond to me or me to Raymond?

Probably both.

I-I get that you're worried
that he could

conceivably be defeated.

What are you worried about with me?

That I'll be, uh...

disillusioned by the whole
political process?

Disillusioned, depressed.

Ultimately... chewed up and spit out.

Oh.

I'm, uh...

I'm a big boy, uh...

I know.

I'm going into this
with my eyes wide open.

Why?

Why are you doing this?

Because I would want to be
police commissioner.

Allison, I've been a cop for 31 years.

I've had a lot of responsibilities,
a lot of different commands.

You know, the police

department, as an organization, uh...

as an institution,
it's something that I know.

I know how to lead.

I-I would know how to lead it.

So I would want that chance.

Do you have dinner plans?

I have to check on a 4:00-to-12:00

tour in one of my precincts

and then I have... got a bunch
of phone calls that I need to...

But do you have plans for dinner?

No.

So, uh, we could have dinner together?

Long as it's not Al fresco.

It won't be.

So, how are you today?

I'm okay.

Work good?

At times, other times not so good.

But you're managing.

I am.

Psych Services wanted you to
check in with me once a month.

But as far as I'm concerned,

you're good to go.

As far as being fit for duty?

That's what Psych Services
is concerned with.

What about me personally?

I am happy to talk to you

about whatever you want.

I've been seeing someone.

That a good thing?

I want it to be.

How did you meet?

Through work.

- He's a cop?
- Uh-huh.

He's great looking and smart, charming.

He sounds horrible.

I know, right?

Are you not happy
with the way the relationship's going?

He works undercover.

Which means...

his life depends on

convincing very dangerous people
that he's something he's not.

Are you afraid he's doing
the same thing with you?

It occurs to me.

Why do you think that is?

Why do you think that is?

I think the fact that your father

did the same thing might have
something to do with it.

You made it pretty clear you
didn't want to talk about

your father, so I hesitate...

It's okay.

I think that maybe it's time that I do.
