Original subtitles

Previously on "East New York..." I ain't handing over nothing.

My name is Regina Haywood.

A German tourist and a security guard,

murdered in broad daylight.

That is totally unacceptable.

Nice to meet you, Detective Morales.

This is Detective Killian. Nice to meet you.

I've been working in restaurants since I'm 19.

I want to own that place.

The joint's yours.

All right, Bentley, your first crime scene.

Hey, Sandeford, who are those guys?

Chief Suarez. He's the borough commander.

You asked for Stan Yenko to be your executive officer?

I irritate people. I know this about myself.

I also want members of the service

to start living near where they work.

Why'd you volunteer to do this, Quinlan?

Because I think this is a good idea.

We, all together, are going to stem this kind of violence

in East New York.

♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah ♪

♪ Ah, ah, ah ♪

♪ Get up, get out ♪

♪ And be somebody ♪

♪ Get up, get out and be somebody ♪

♪ Things are going my way ♪

♪ But to God I pray ♪

What's good, baby?

♪ Ten toes down, don't bend or break ♪

Let's go, let's go.

Tenants reported hearing them drive east.

What do we have?

Drive-by. Three shot, one fatality.

Name's Junior Hunter.

Any word on a next of kin who can ID?

We're on it.

Tenants say he lived in the Blaylock Houses alone.

What about the perps?

Two on a scooter.

No one's ID'd them yet. But whatever

the guy was using, sounded like a machine gun.

You're not gonna do nothing.

Sir, I'm trying to do something

which is why I'm asking you,

have you ever seen the shooter before.

Uh...

Any beefs going on you know of?

Any beefs?

Pick one. There's plenty of beefs.

That's the nature of things.

But you don't know who it was between? No.

What about the scooter? Can you describe the scooter?

I'm gonna say Yamaha 'cause it looked like one my nephew has.

Color?

Red. With a white X on it.

Did you see his face?

How am I gonna see the shooter

if his face is covered up?

He had a mask on.

How am I gonna describe him?

I keep my nose clean, sir.

I'm a businessman. Oh, what kind of business?

Accessory devices for the urban lifestyle...

Cell phone cases, messenger bags,

repair screens, you know, whatever.

I do it all. Now what?

I found this over by the tire tracks.

Oh, that, my friends, is a Glock switch.

Why it sounded like a machine gun.

Oh, for the days of a .38.

All right. I want a list of all the tenants,

any gang affiliations.

Also, let's make sure we dump security camera footage

from those cameras and whatever working...

Central, get aviation over here

at the Blaylock Houses.

We got airmail coming off from the roof,

building 6.

You got to go now, Inspector. No, no, no. We'll figure it out.

Whoa, whoa!

Everybody good?

You okay, Inspector?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I want to take that roof.

No, no, no. You... Let us do it. You take off.

I'm not taking off! I'm going in with my people.

Which one threw the concrete?

Yellow shirt.

You want to kill me, son?

Bring them in.

Everybody goes through!

♪ Oh... ♪

Are you familiar with a Glock switch, Chief?

I am. It's amazingly simple, really.

Takes a semiautomatic, makes it fully automatic.

Can shoot 30 rounds in 2.3 seconds.

Stan, he said he's familiar with it.

No, no, no, of course. Absolutely.

I'm just always admiring

the ingenuity of the human mind.

They're generally made of metal, though.

This one looks like it's plastic.

We think made in a 3D printer.

In all likelihood, that's probably why it broke.

But it let them shoot up that whole courtyard before it broke.

Look, since what they were using

is basically a machine gun,

and machine guns are prohibited by federal law,

this gets ATF involved.

We want ATF involved?

ATF comes with federal resources...

Overtime, technical support.

More crime, more resources.

That's not exactly the way I intended on getting them.

Give us a minute, yeah?

Yeah, sure.

So, vertical patrols?

Is that something you're intending on

making a regular thing now, Regina?

I'm glad to see you came all the way down to check in on me.

Well, it's what I do,

especially when I have a deputy inspector

still move around like she's a street cop.

Is that something I can't do as commanding officer?

I'm not here to say what you can or can't do.

I just want to remind you it's a lot tougher doing your job

from a hospital bed. I can't show the cops and the community

I care about them from behind my desk

all the time.

There was an old man who was murdered today.

I don't know if the guys on the roof are connected,

but if it takes almost getting clocked, I got to do it.

Right?

All right, now bag it as we go, all right?

Name. Come on.

Name! Steven Turner.

Yo, I got to pee. When we get to do that?

Yeah, as soon as we're done here.

Yo, when we get something to eat?

Same thing. Date of birth?

10-12-2002.

Vouchering.

Key ring, five keys,

a blue plastic pen,

three one-dollar bills. Let's go.

Yeah, he had a lot more than that on him.

All right. Next.

These cuffs is hurting. Quinlan, make sure

they take his belt and shoelaces.

Oh, so I don't hang up?

Yeah, something like that.

Name.

Vincent West.

Date of birth.

04-10-2006. Hold on, hold on.

Hey!

I told you guys, settle down

so we can get through this!

Thank you.

All right. Date of birth.

04-10-2006. 16.

They get younger by the day.

You have to take my crackers, bro? Quiet.

Vouchering.

Key ring, four keys on it.

Do I get my crackers back?

Bon appétit.

All right, next. Come on.

Hey, hey. Relax.

Only working camera.

Barely.

That's Lindsey Boston. I interviewed her.

There's Mercedes No-Last-Name.

I interviewed her.

Celia Malone. I interviewed her.

Oh, and there's Junior Hunter.

With four minutes and 32 seconds to live.

Weird. What?

I mean, at some point,

we all have four minutes and 32 seconds to live, right?

That's pretty heavy, Tomas.

Never mind. I'm never saying another word. Mm.

There's a motor scooter.

No plates, of course.

Too blurry to ID

the two on it. No tattoos we can see.

Dark clothes.

Hey, there's D-Flawless.

You're making that up.

It's what he calls himself.

His real name's Demonté Green.

And he says he's a businessman.

He's coming out of the building right here.

That's when the shooting starts.

Look at that. What do you know?

Maybe your D-Flawless there was the intended target.

Yet he told me he wasn't aware of any beef.

Hate to think he would've lied.

Makes me fear for the republic.

Hmm.

Hey, hey.

Deputy Mayor Sharpe.

I apologize, Inspector. Some people have

no sense of common courtesy.

My apologies, Captain Yenko,

but Belle Lacey serves as a liaison

between my office and public housing. I wanted

to see to it she had the opportunity to speak with you.

She lives in the Blaylock Houses.

Did you know Mr. Hunter?

Everybody knew Mr. Hunter. Devastating.

Did Junior Hunter have any family?

We do want to notify next of kin. Yeah.

A sister in Shreveport.

I believe she passed.

All right. We can find out.

If you have any difficulty, I'm sure my office can.

Mr. Hunter was my friend.

Very important living in public housing

to know who your friends are.

Absolutely. He was a friend to me.

He was a friend to my grandson.

Okay. Your grandson is...?

Vincent... West.

He's one of the kids that was arrested this morning.

He had nothing

to do with what happened to Mr. Hunter.

But he did throw a chunk of concrete at a police officer.

There may have been another way to respond to that, Inspector.

Vincent has always stayed out of trouble.

If you give him a record, you will mess up his life forever.

Ms. Lacey, I suggest you get a lawyer for Vincent.

If you can't afford one... of course I can't afford one.

One will be appointed by the court.

When my other grandson was arrested,

I was able to pick him up from family court the same day.

Did your other grandson also try to kill cops?

Oh. This is what we're trying to achieve

with the Safe Streets Initiative.

We take the energy and anger

found in these young people,

and we redirect it into a constructive

and sustaining purpose.

I don't know about all of that.

My grandson is not the kind of kid you have to arrest.

Well, he's about to figure out what kind of man he wants

to become because he is not leaving here any time soon.

I'm sorry, but that's about all I can do for you today.

Guilty until proven otherwise?

We had every reason to arrest him.

It's up to the courts to adjudicate

whether he's guilty or not guilty.

I thought you were some kind of different.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Check back with us this afternoon.

I'll be right with you, Belle.

DOAs from a modified firearm don't look too good at COMPSTAT.

I'm aware of that, Mr. Sharpe.

What I wish you were aware of is

that I'm an asset to you.

I could help you with the mayor,

I could help you with a variety of people.

It's called setting up for success.

Captain.

From now on, nobody gets back here

without clearance from the front desk, especially him.

Got it.

♪ I'm good with the strangers ♪

♪ I'm watching what come with this paper ♪

♪ You can love it or hate it... ♪

I'm trying to remember at what point

in my childhood dreams did I see myself

one day spending endless nights

assembling chairs.

These are flat boxes, too.

The flatter the boxes, the more pieces to put together.

You need to buy chairs in chair-shaped boxes.

Right. Hey, honey, Crystal.

Hey. Thought you were coming by after work.

Yeah, I'm just, um, dropping off these chairs.

Oh, I know it doesn't look it,

but it is really coming together.

It's going to be so great, Tommy.

Yeah? Who are all these tough guys?

Oh, I hired a chef. Those are his people.

Oh. Who'd you get?

Oh, he's great. He's got his own crew

and a huge following of loyal customers

that'll follow him here. Yeah. Who is he?

You know how they do all kinds of food

in McCarren Park on the weekends?

He's been doing that and got written about.

The Times had a thing on him.

The New Yorker had a thing on him. Yeah. Yeah.

Does he have a name, Corinne?

George Pappas.

You got any of those write-ups on him?

Yeah, on my phone, but you know.

May I see them, please?

Okay.

Tommy, I don't want you doing a background check on him.

I know there's things in his past.

Yeah, I don't have to do a background check on him.

I locked him up.

Seriously? Mm-hmm. Possession

of Schedule A narcotics with intent to distribute,

possession of illegal firearm, burglary.

He said he'd been to prison. He didn't try to hide it.

Yeah, all the people in New York.

How many people in New York now? Yeah. Don't put me into this.

This is the one guy you could find to cook?

No, this is the best guy I could find.

And you just said, he's done his time.

He's a different person now, right?

People change, Tommy. Oh, do they?

'Cause that's not my experience. Crystal, that's your experience?

I'm not even here right now.

Well, they don't, okay?

People are who they are.

He was a skel when I locked him up, and he's still a skel.

Well, he's a skel who works for me now,

so you're just going to have to trust

that I know what I'm doing.

Hmm.

Yeah.

Inspector, you're not going to believe this.

What's going on?

Building maintenance is scheduled

to visit regarding the female showers.

Well, how long have the female showers been down now?

Oh, too long. I've been saying for years,

they should repurpose the men's showers to accommodate

the female officers, but as you can imagine, it's not

a very popular opinion.

Like most of my opinions,

it just falls through the cracks,

only to be resurrected by someone

who wants to claim them as their own.

Inspector, Captain.

Uh, we have all the arrestees

from the raid en route to Central Booking.

Uh, Vincent West, however, is a minor, still in holding.

Any reason why you want to keep him?

His grandmother thinks he's a little angel.

Oh, I doubt even his grandmother thinks that.

I want to give her and him the benefit of the doubt.

No, of course. Although, that's

generally left up to the judicial branch of government.

If we have the power of offering someone another path in life,

I have to be open to doing it.

Mind if I, uh, take a crack at talking to him?

Not in a Scared Straight! Approach,

but, you know, mention

that his friends aren't really ones to keep.

Go ahead.

Detective Killian, right?

Very good. This is Detective Morales. Welcome.

Meet my girlfriend...

uh, my fiancée Jasmine.

We're just finishing with lunch here.

Hi. Hey.

Is everything okay?

I thought I told you.

Remember the situation that happened?

Oh, yeah. Everything's gonna be fine.

See you tonight?

I'll see you later. Okay. Okay. Bye.

Bye. Bye.

So we just wanted to, uh,

catch you up on our investigation

of the shooting. Thank you, but it's unnecessary.

Well, maybe. I mean, but we had a chance

to look at the security footage,

and it looks like the shooter started shooting

when you came out of the building. Mm.

Was that a coincidence?

Coincidence, mistaken identity.

You know.

It's hard to say these days.

Pretty impressive how you set yourself up in here

in your little pop-up shop.

Yeah, until they chase me out of here, right?

Mm.

I'm impressed you learned to repair computer screens.

Did you, uh, do that while you were locked up?

Yes, I did. Mm.

One of the pillars of success is to strive for knowledge.

I learned a lot of things when I was inside.

Everything except not to lie.

Well, maybe lying's one of those other pillars.

Mm. Hey, listen.

I'm a businessman, not a liar.

I wouldn't lie to you guys.

Put yourself in our place, Demonté.

All right, these guys tried to kill you.

They still might. Yet, you won't give 'em up.

Now why would that be the case except

you got something to hide?

A lot of success in business is reputation of the brand.

Now,

maybe it wouldn't benefit

my brand if I was seen as a snitch.

You get where I'm going with that?

I think he's sticking with his story.

Good luck, Demonté. Hope it all works out for you.

I'm sorry.

What's up? Talk to me.

Yeah, I can put that order in for you

as early as tonight.

Uh-huh.

"Demonté Green. I do everything."

Hey, Crystal. How many units were you looking to order?

It's a 3D printer.

Hey, Demonté?

Leaving you ten bucks for one

of these handsome blue phone cases.

Thanks. Ask for Officer Marvin Sandeford

if you call the precinct.

Any luck?

No. Doctor's office only had a neighbor listed

as his emergency contact.

What happens if no next of kin claims Junior Hunter's body?

Then they'll cremate him.

To grow old and alone. Couldn't be me.

Then make a plan.

Oh, yeah? What's your plan?

Doesn't matter what my plan is.

What's mine might not work for you.

Tell me why I should give you this warrant.

We think Demonté Green was the intended target

of the shooting that killed Junior Hunter.

Being the intended target doesn't

get you probable cause to search.

Oh, that's not what we're saying, Seth.

Are you familiar with what a Glock switch does?

I know all about it. A semiautomatic

into a fully automatic weapon.

Can fire off 30 rounds in two seconds.

Stan, he said he's familiar.

This was manufactured and sold

by Demonté Green.

Made on a 3D printer exactly like the one in his shop.

What I can see here is that they're both blue.

The same blue, in the same material made

with a polymer resin not commonly available.

But available. And Demonté Green

lives in the same apartment building with his fiancée

where the shooting occurred.

And where shootings occur weekly.

Outside of which the Glock switch was found.

Come on, Seth!

Judges are like toddlers. They love the word "no."

They love to argue,

and the threshold for some of them is way high.

The glove compartment was closed,

so the pound and a half of fentanyl doesn't come in.

The laundry room extension wasn't specified on the warrant,

so the sawed-off shotgun doesn't come in. Yeah, but

you bring it to the right judge, and you take the totality

of those factors and put 'em together.

I don't want maybe, Stan.

I don't want close calls.

I don't want to stand there

and have some defense attorney smirking at me

because some Ruth Bader Ginsburg wannabe

is telling me my showing for probable cause is insufficient,

that I have been judged and found wanting.

I don't want to go through that.

So how about this for a hypothetical?

A gunman with a modified nine millimeter rakes a schoolyard

with hundreds of rounds of ammunition?

The means of modification was easily available

and known to the Kings County District Attorney's Office,

which did nothing to prevent it.

Get us the search warrant, Seth.

For Green's apartment

and the pop-up shop for the Glock switches.

You'll sleep better.

Let's go! ♪ Stay ready ♪

♪ And you ain't gotta get ready ♪

Wait a minute. What the hell are guys doing?!

That Jasmine? Yes, it's Jasmine.

Why are you wrecking my house?

Let her in. These are my clothes. These are all of my things.

Jasmine, right now, I'm going to have to ask you to stand aside.

So you just go through all my things like this?

We have a search warrant for these premises, Jasmine.

It says Demonté Green lives here,

and we can conduct a search.

If you interfere with that search,

you'll be arrested.

I suggest you take a seat.

So you're gonna arrest me for coming into my own house?

Hey, where you going with that? Just dump it.

I'm not gonna dump it.

I'm gonna go sift through it in the kitchen.

This is somebody's house.

Wait. Did...?

I can't believe you guys are doing this.

Self-help, philosophy, war strategy.

Quite a collection.

Well, he said he got an education in the joint.

Whoa.

Glock switches.

Are you planning on going to war, Jasmine?

I don't know nothing about Demonté's business.

This ain't on me.

The problem is, this apartment is in your name.

I know it's in my name.

That's why I got to go to Housing Authority

and tell 'em why it's all busted up.

Bigger problems at the moment.

It means that you're the one that's going to get charged

for those switches.

That ain't right.

I didn't say it was right.

All right, they took down his store, but he wasn't there.

Mm. So, Jasmine, your one shot is,

you just tell us where to find them.

Mr. Businessman.

He went to get his mail.

You got my number, right? Okay.

This is my favorite part.

That flash in the eyes when, for a second,

they think about running.

Oh, there he goes.

- It's the shoes, man. - Come on, up.

It's why they don't have

any foot pursuits on Wall Street.

Hey, Killian, look what came special delivery.

Resin for the printer. Hey, I don't know what that is. Listen.

Somebody at the Seal-N-Ship is gonna hear from me.

All right, come on. Let's go, pal.

Can I get my shoe?

What's up, Sarge?

I don't know why I said I'd speak to this kid.

Well, sucking up to the C.O.'s as good a reason as any.

Maybe I felt like I had something to say to him.

And now? I don't know where to start.

Can I offer some suggestions?

Please.

Okay.

Detective.

You know, I don't usually like to go back

into the kitchen of places where I eat.

You know, things you see there can just

make you lose your appetite.

Corinne's not here right now.

Oh, Corinne? Oh, no. I know she's not here.

Yeah, um, I'm aware of her general comings

and goings because we live together.

Which is also why I take a keen interest

in her welfare while I'm on my investigations.

I understand your concern.

Do you? Oh, well, that is a huge weight off.

So the menu you're preparing...

Is it gonna feature Salisbury steak and fruit cup?

You know, since my release,

I graduated from the Culinary Institute of America.

Oh. And now you cook at a cop bar.

Corinne really...

Stop... saying her name.

She hired me to work here.

Your boss... my girlfriend... She's not like most people.

She's good, and the only thing she's not smart about is

thinking that most other people are, too.

But you and I... We know different.

Which is why I'm gonna have to ask you

to tender your resignation

immediately... Chef.

What's going on?

The detective was just inquiring about the menu.

Yeah. Demonté's gone through processing.

You should come back.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Hey, sweetie. Hey.

Yeah.

So, Vincent, what do you think happens

when you and your friends do stupid things?

Worse thing that happens is I go to juvie.

What about after that?

I was thinking Harvard.

Oh, if he doesn't care, then why should we, right?

You know what attempted murder is?

I didn't try to murder no one.

Yeah, but you threw that rock, right?

Yeah.

So you tried to murder someone.

You know how juvie isn't worse

than some places adults go, like Rikers?

Everyone in juvie's getting out. Rikers?

Maybe not.

You want some tips...

on how to make it a little bit better?

Don't look anyone in the eye.

Shower with your back to the wall, and I bet someone told you

that you have to show that you're the baddest guy in there.

Well, you know what?

You better be the baddest guy in there.

Do you... do you think that you're the baddest one in there?

'Cause there can only be one,

and it's probably not you.

Do as you are told.

And I know it doesn't come natural. Trust me.

But just always do what you are told.

'Cause in school, your teachers...

They tell us to do something, and we ignore them,

'cause they can't hurt us, but

this is not that.

And where you're going,

your grandma can't save your ass.

Oh, is there anything you'd like to add, Sergeant Kee?

Um... bring a book?

Yeah, that's good, too.

This from your 3D printer?

Okay.

Yeah. That's what this is?

Mm. Yeah. I made this.

Started off making toys for kids.

- Yeah, like what? - Trucks, robots, toy guns?

Parents couldn't afford the ones at the store,

so I used my machine to copy them off,

charged what the parents can pay.

Everybody wins. That's my motto.

You always use blue? That's right.

Blue's a popular color.

You make anything besides toys?

Yeah, after I did the toys, I saw people need

new phone cases for their phone 'cause every time

a new one comes out, they change the size just a little bit.

That's not right. People can't afford that. My people

can't afford that,

so I fill that need in.

Yeah. Everybody wins.

That's right. What, is it a crime

to make smartphone cases now?

Hmm.

No.

But, uh, this is.

What's that?

You know what that is.

Nah.

Maybe some accoutrement my little niece uses

to make a necklace?

You should have stuck to toys and phone cases, Demonté.

Because this? Illegally modifying a firearm

to make a machine gun?

That's federal.

Then why am I sitting here

talking to you?

Because this is the last time we see each other.

Turns out federal-mandated sentencing is 11 years...

per switch.

How many switches we find?

25.

So that's, like, 25 switches times 11 years is, uh...

What is that?

I'd have to do it on paper.

275 years. Wow. He's quick.

That's not even factoring in whatever

accessory to murder charges come with the killing

of that old man. So before that happens,

we need you to tell us

who the guys were that pulled the trigger.

I do that, I walk?

Whoa.

You do it,

and the D.A. might go

for a reduced sentence.

Substantially reduced.

The guys who shot at me... They made me

make these switches for them. How'd they do that?

They threaten you with a roll of hundred-dollar bills?

Yeah, and did they make you do the other

24 switches we found at your apartment

with your prints all over 'em? Listen, I never wanted

to be a part of none of this, okay?

I did my time.

Just wanted to start a business.

Help us understand what happened, Demonté.

Okay, I told 'em to use it no more than three times.

It's not metal. A resin switch

can't take that kind of pressure.

You can see the edges are starting to melt here.

They used the switch,

it jammed, one of their guys got dropped.

They blamed me for it.

That's ludicrous.

Names and where to find them.

Mario Sandoval.

That's the one I know.

He and his friend Darren work

at a parking garage in downtown Brooklyn.

That's where I go to meet them.

Should be one of those pillars of success,

huh, Demonté?

"Get a second chance, don't blow it"?

I don't know why we have a Twitter account.

Just stirs people up.

Uh, are Kee and Quinlan with Vincent West right now?

I'll find out.

Listen, there's a, uh, little memorial

for Junior Hunter tonight at Blaylock Houses.

You inclined on sending flowers or something?

Send food, please, and a lot of it.

You got it. Hey.

ATF is on their way for a press conference.

We're gonna lay out what we confiscated?

Uh-huh, and I want

to have you up front on that.

Okay? Not ATF. Side by side...

That's okay. It's a partnership.

I don't need to read a statement, do I?

I mean, not if you don't want to.

No, let ATF do that. Is there someone

who can check the array of confiscated materials

before the press office gets here? Well, not to toot

my own horn, but I do know what looks good on camera.

You are a Renaissance man.

I have been called a polymath,

which, at the time, I think

was complimentary.

Hey. Hey.

Corrine, what are you doing in here?

I just came to bring you dinner. Well,

that's nice of you, but you didn't have to bring it here.

Tommy, look, I know you're looking out for me.

I'm lucky. I mean, who's got their own cop, right?

But you got to let me make decisions for myself.

Yeah, I make decisions, too, Corinne. I make decisions

about who people are and what they're capable of all day long.

That's what I get paid to do.

Okay. Are you ever wrong?

Not about this guy.

He did his time.

He did his parole. He's got a slew of references.

He's just trying to make a legit living.

He's trying, huh?

So what? People try all the time.

We got a guy in a cell right now

who came out of prison with a whole business plan.

Now he's going right back.

Because the leopard can't change its spots.

You did.

When? After we met.

You don't remember? I said "no" about a hundred times.

And people said I was nuts

when I told them I finally said "yes" to you.

So I am asking you to trust me.

And allow for the possibility... slim

though it may be...

That people can change.

Just like you did.

Plus, he's the only cook I could afford.

So which people said you were nuts? Give me a name.

Hey, Corinne. Hey.

You got some dietary needs I don't know about? Stop.

Come on. I got an address on that garage where Mario works.

After digging through Mario's social media.

There's even a photo of his buddy Darren.

Kids just got to post everywhere they go.

♪ I'm feeling way, I'm feeling fly, I'm feeling whoo ♪

Afternoon. Detective Morales, Killian from the 7-4.

Anyone else working here today?

No, just me.

Come on.

No one? No.

Mario, maybe? No.

You don't mind if we take a look around?

Hey, Mario down here?

Mario!

7-4 squad. Shots fired.

Parking garage, Nassau and Bridge. 7-4 squad...

Ready? Go.

Police! Don't move.

Get on the ground.

You said in the car you didn't shoot anyone.

'Cause I didn't. You were on the scooter, though, Darren.

We got it all over security camera footage.

I didn't know nothing about what Mario was going to do, though.

Carrying a machine gun,

you didn't know what he was gonna do.

He liked having it on him.

It was like a good-luck charm.

You knew he had beef with Demonté Green.

He was right to. Them switches

cost $300 a piece, two for $500.

Mario gave Demonté a rack for four.

First one didn't fit.

Second one gets jammed.

Mario go to Demonté, Demonté say, "Nah, man."

You damaged it if it don't fit in the gun."

So, no refunds, no exchanges?

And that ain't right.

Then one of the boys gets shot over it.

Mario's cousin.

What'd Demonté think was gonna happen?

He knew Mario wasn't going to let that go.

Too bad that old man in the lawn chair didn't know.

You want to put the divider up?

Who's doing what? Well, I figured

you'd announce the confiscation, and I'd announce the funding.

So happens I have good news about the funding.

In addition to the money from the federal government,

the New Suffolk

Restaurant and Hospitality Group's

kicking in a million-dollar

discretionary fund.

That will go a long way towards Chief Haywood's goals

of providing better community relations in East New York.

Giving credit where credit is due, I'll be sure to mention

that it's thanks in large part

to the efforts of Precinct Commander

Regina Haywood.

No. What no?

I don't care what kind of deal you got

with this restaurant group, but I do not want

Regina Haywood's name connected with it.

They're discretionary funds, John.

She's not gonna get hurt if she uses discretion.

But you might,

and she's gonna be expected to take the hit for it.

I have no such expectation.

Let's leave her name out of it.

What you just saw on that video

is what a legal gun is capable of

when one of these parts is attached to it.

Till yesterday, if you wanted to obtain that part, all you had

to do is go and knock on the apartment door of Demonté Green

who would make one from his 3D printer.

What we have laid out on this table here is what our officers

confiscated from that apartment.

So I want to thank the mayor,

the assistant director of field operations

from ATF and the police commissioner

for supporting our efforts, but I want to make

special mention to all of our friends at ATF

for all of the help that they gave us

in getting that funding to where it's most needed.

Now Deputy Mayor Sharpe has a couple of words to say

on their behalf. Thank you.

Thank you. This administration

is committed to innovative,

community-based policing.

We stand behind our men and women in blue 100%.

And we believe that a partnership between

law enforcement and the private sector is not

only possible, it's essential.

It is therefore my pleasure and privilege

to introduce the Brooklyn Safe Streets Initiative,

funded both by the federal government

and with a million-dollar grant

by an anonymous donor.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mayor.

You want to see him before family court?

Let's go to my office.

Since you don't have a record, I'm guessing

this is your first time in handcuffs?

Yes.

When the day started, you and me

had no idea we would be in each other's lives, did we?

The end of mine almost,

the end of yours in a different way, too.

And Mr. Hunter's.

I liked Mr. Hunter.

He gave me a baseball glove he had.

And now he's gone,

and the young man who killed him's gone,

and the other young man on the scooter's going to jail

for a very long time, and you're here in handcuffs,

only 16 years old,

and I'm wondering what you make of all that.

Why'd you throw that piece of concrete off the roof, Vincent?

I saw dudes throwing things.

I thought it would be funny, too.

If you had hit someone,

there's a good chance you would've killed them.

Would that be funny?

No, ma'am.

Is there anything you want to say to me, Vincent?

I'm sorry.

I imagine you are.

You're sorry, and you're scared,

but I need you to remember what it feels like

to be sorry and scared.

You remember what it felt like

when you threw that concrete off the roof? Yes.

Was there a split second when you wished you hadn't?

When you knew you had done something wrong,

and you wished you had that split second back?

I'm going to give it back to you, Vincent.

♪ Yesterday I had nothing ♪

♪ Didn't know whether I'd amount to something ♪

Thank you.

♪ I had holes in my shoes and in my clothes... ♪

You're welcome.

♪ Only yesterday... ♪

Turns out this guy had no relatives.

His sister in Shreveport died four years ago.

Sad. What's sad?

That he died, and there was no one to notify.

Well, maybe I should give you a list of my relatives

so you can notify them.

I don't think you want it to be me.

Yeah, what the hell do I care who it is?

♪ That was yesterday ♪

♪ That was yesterday... ♪

So we're here to honor

Mr. Junior Hunter

whom we all will miss.

And when the police get through with it,

I will lay claim to his special chair,

and I will sit on it,

and I will remember him.

I also would like to thank

Police Inspector Haywood

for providing the food and drink

you're enjoying here tonight.

And I also would like

to thank her for getting my grandson

back here with us.

Thank you.

♪ And today is gonna be different ♪

Can I talk to you?

♪ Couldn't hear my voice under... ♪

He may not have had any family,

but he sure had a lot of friends.

What you... you trying to make me feel better?

Why would I even try to do that, Sandeford?

So I'm sure you know who the anonymous donor is, right?

Why would you think that?

An instinctive grasp of the obvious.

When it comes to Raymond O. Sharpe,

one wants to maintain a certain level of credible deniability.

So, better if I don't know.

He's got his own agenda, Regina. Which is what?

From what I'm hearing, he might make a run at mayor.

What does that mean for you?

What it means for both of us is that he's got a long memory.

And that's gonna determine whether

he's gonna be a supporter for all of these things

that you're trying to do, or an impediment.

You've known me a long time, Chief.

You really think I want to get involved in politics?

I have known you a long time,

which is why it's hard for me to imagine

that you don't think you already are.

Good night.
