Previously on East New York...

KILLIAN: Back when I was on
the Warrant Squad with Desmond,

his gut told him
the Selkirk Brothers

had gone out of state,

but First Grade Detective Troy
here didn't

want to exceed the overtime cap.

By the time we picked them up,
they'd killed, what,

two more people?

(shouting, clamoring)

How'd your homicide go?

I'm here for a divorce.

Oh.
And because she works

in Manhattan South, guess
who's getting transferred?

I also want
members of the service

to start living
near where they work.

No one wants you here.

You're a nuisance.

Ticketing us like criminals
in our homes.

Leave.

Every single person
in this building is important.

Okay, let's take it for a spin.

(rumbling)
What the hell was that?

Oh, my goodness.

HAYWOOD:
How is it?

It's good.

You know, I'm
generally suspect

of meat substitutes, in
this case prosciutto, but

the edible enrobing of
the fig is, it's good.

Green Gro Organic Supermarket
is committed

to bringing healthy,
organic food

to underserved communities.

So it is with great pleasure

that we open
an East New York branch

to sell only the
healthiest produce,

meat and prepared foods available.

Ready?
WOMAN: Yeah.

(all clapping)

I thought you
didn't eat pork.

Sandeford,
it's turkey bacon.

I said I don't eat animals
that come when you call them.

A turkey will come
when you call them.

BENTLEY: No, they don't.
SANDEFORD: Anything you feed will come

when you call them.
That's animals, kids,

in-laws or cops.

(gun shots)
(woman screams)

BENTLEY:
7-4 George to Central. 10-85, shots fired.

Need additional units.

It's okay.

(panting)

Whoa, whoa, stop right there!
I think some guy

just shot up the place.
I think he's still here.

Where here?
Uh, out back by the loading dock.

Down on your knees.
Wait, what?

I said get down
on your knees!

Put your hands up
where I can see them!

7-4 George get a bus
down here forthwith.

And show me with one under.

Sandeford?
Check out her right arm.

What? Why are you
doing this to me?!

It's blood from the
guy she just shot.

I'm glad you noticed that, Officer.

That's what a good cop does.

Are you calling me
a good cop, boss? Yeah.

Something like that.
Right on.

BENTLEY:
Inspector?

(moaning)

7-4, C.O. put a rush on the bus.

Got an ambulance
coming, okay?

(indistinct chatter)

(horns honking)

What kind of music is Corinne
gonna be playing at the bar?

Are you about to tell me
she should have

Spanish music playing
at the bar?

Willie Colón, Eddie Palmieri.
Old school.

You know,
she's hemorrhaging money.

She's got a convict for a chef.

And you're worried
about what kind of music

she's gonna be playing
at the bar. (clicks tongue)

'Cause you're not taking
enough of an interest

in it, that's why.

We got the perp
from the supermarket shooting.

Oh, yeah?
She asked to speak

to Detective Morales,
said she knows you.

A lot of perps know me.

She asked to say hello.

Tell her... I'm out somewhere.

KILLIAN:
See, I don't think you're...

taking enough interest in this.

Antonia?

I got him, Crystal.

I got him.

(sighs)

MORALES:
It was a year and a half ago.

She came in saying
she'd been raped.

What was the disposition?
Closed.

"Not Amenable."

So it never even went
to the D.A.

Because she met the guy
in a bar,

it's classified
as "acquaintance rape,"

rather than "stranger rape."

Stranger rape takes priority.

Given how many
you're handling at a time,

by the time you get
to acquaintance rape,

just not enough hours
in the day.

I gather it wasn't your decision

to close the case. No.

It was definitely
not my decision.

Word came
from the C.O.

at SVD.

So you're feeling you owe it
to her to handle it better?

Yeah, I do.

You want to connect that rape
to this shooting...

...do it.
Thanks, boss.

Hey.

Captain.
You ever hear the aphorism,

"The past is never dead.

It's not even past"?

Can't say that I have, Captain.

William Faulkner.

I never read William Faulkner.

Me, neither. Tried him once.
It was too dense.

I couldn't follow it.
Anyway, the reason I'm here

is because one of the guns that
was found in the elevator shaft

over at Ruskin Gardens
has been linked to a homicide.

And since you're next
in the catching order,

the investigation
has fallen to you.

(sighs)

This is from 15 years ago.

Ergo, the issue of the past.

Whoa, Captain,

isn't there someone else
you can give this to?

I've got, like,
25 open investigations

staring me in the face.
We have been tasked

with investigating crimes.

And that, Detective,

is as general and specific

as your understanding
of our purpose needs to be.

Borough Command
is expecting

some sort of report
by the end of the week.

Thank you. Cap.

Let's go for a ride.

(clears throat)

KILLIAN: It's hell of a day
for this to happen, huh?

Tell me about it.

KILLIAN: So you
didn't see the person

before they shot you?
I didn't see them.

I didn't even know
I'd been shot. NURSE: I'll be right back.

I just felt this

searing pain in my back.

It was like someone stabbed me.

But you didn't see who it was?
No.

And since it was
the grand opening,

were you on a different
schedule than usual?

I'm always there by 6:00.

Is it possible the shooter
knew your schedule?

If it was me she was after.

So it was a woman.

I don't know
if it was a woman.

I'm just saying
it wasn't about me.

Yeah? What do you
think it was about?

Someone delusional,

marginalized...

filled with rage
in a crowded city.

That's what accounts for most
random acts of violence.

So there's no one you can think
of that would want to hurt you?

Did I cut someone off
on the expressway?

I might have.
I'm not a very good driver.

KILLIAN: What about the
people that work for you?

Have you had
to fire anyone recently?

Can I let you in
on a little secret?

I never fire anyone.

It's one of the reasons I was
never made regional manager.

Too soft.

Well...

just so you know,
we have a suspect in custody.

Does the name Antonia
Ortiz ring a bell?

I dated a woman named
Antonia Ortiz.

If it's the same one.

What could you
tell us about her?

It's not like I really
know her, you know?

We only went out
once or twice.

From what I remember,
she was nuts.

Nuts how?

I don't know
if she's actually bi-polar,

but she flip-flops
from one thing to another.

Affectionate
one minute.

Revolted by my very existence
the next.

Well, when you're
feeling up to it,

we're gonna need you to pick
her out of some photographs.

Sure.
Then if it goes

to trial, they're gonna
need you to testify.

Meantime you've got
her locked up?

Mm-hmm.

Good.

Keep her that way.

Yeah, you got it.

He's lying.
He might be lying.

The doctor said the entry
wound was from the front.

He said he felt like he'd
been stabbed in the back.

Well, it's possible there's
sensory confusion,

given the circumstances.

In other words, you
want her to be lying.

Is that right?
I don't want anyone to be lying, Crystal.

But there's no corroboration.

No physical evidence.
Okay? We have to allow

for the possibility that
one of them is lying.

Okay, you be sure and keep
that possibility alive.

I don't get why you're so upset.

'Cause there are very few things
that irritate me as much

as excessive even-handedness.

Hey, pardon me?

Before you throw
his bandages away,

can we have that?

It's uh, for an ongoing investigation.

I order tuna fish
and I get a roast beef.

Egg salad.

I ordered turkey and Swiss.

Yeah.

You ever been to Primanti's?
Mm-mm.

Great hero sandwiches.

Where is it?
Pittsburgh.

Oh, that's,
that's really helpful.

Don't-don't do that. I'm just
recalling great sandwiches

from the past. I thought
that's what we were doing.

That's not what we're doing.

We were complaining
about these sandwiches.

So, um...

Why were you in Pittsburgh?

I was thinking of going
to Carnegie Mellon.

Really?

(Killian clears throat)

You two are the Eagle Scouts

that found those guns
in the elevator shaft.

Yeah, that was,
that was us.

Yeah, one of them came back
with a body on it.

Darnell "Shuggie" Adams.

Lived in Ruskin Gardens with
a woman named Thora Whitfield.

Found in a dumpster at
the Five Borough Bakery, 2007.

That would qualify as
a cold case, wouldn't it?

Cold as ice,
but I have go through

the motions of opening
an investigation, so...

if either of you hear of
anything that might be relevant,

let me know. Hey.

I try not to seem
like I moved into the projects

with the sole purpose
of intelligence-gathering.

So don't seem like that.

How am I supposed to seem?

Like a hard-working
young police officer

trying to gain the trust
of the community she lives in.

That's what you are,
Brandy Quinlan.

Same as you, Andre Bentley?

Same as me.

Just one floor down.

(knocking)

Have a minute?
Sure.

I don't believe we've met.

Deputy Inspector Jack Hammond
from Special Victims.

How can I help
you, Jack?

Oh, it seems as though
one of your detectives

used to be one of my detectives.

If you're talking
about Crystal Morales,

I hope you're not asking
for her back.

N... No, I'm definitely
not asking for her back.

Oh.
One of my people

threw up a flare that

she was trying to access files.

Well, there was a shoo-- Please.

Oh, thank you.

There was a shooting at
a supermarket this morning.

I understand
it relates

to a rape investigation

from when she was
at Special Victims.

I'm sure you realize
that Special Victims cases

are of a particularly
sensitive nature.

Absolutely.

Access on a need-to-know basis only.

Detectives are generally
encouraged to share files.

Depends what they want
to do with them.

Seems to me
that Detective Morales

wants to make Special Victims
out to be negligent

or callous in their treatment
of a rape victim.

No, I don't think that's
what's motivating her at all.

Why don't we bring
the introductory part

of this conversation
to a close, Inspector?

Morales made her feelings
about the men

and women in Special Victims
pretty clear before she left.

But as long as I'm in charge,
they're not gonna be made

into punching bags
for her righteous indignation

that a wobbling

acquaintance rape case
didn't go the distance.

SVD files will not be provided

for Crystal Morales's perusal.

And you can tell her I said so.

I will.

I don't mean to be coming down
on you about this.

No, look, Jack,
it's all right, please.

They promote us
to a command position,

and we're expected
to protect our people,

answer for decisions
that weren't ours to make

and live and die by how
many cases we clear each month.

Yeah. It's...
it's a lot to ask.

You know... Anyway.

It's nice to meet you, Regina.

Oh.

It's nice to meet you,
too, Jack.

Thanks. Take care.

You, too.
Bye-bye.

Bye.

I just had a visit
from your old boss.

He give you his speech
about protecting his people?

He's entitled
to protect the confidentiality

of his case files, Detective.

Protect them from whom?
Especially if there isn't

a legitimate purpose being
served by sifting through them.

But...

I know you wouldn't
be wasting your time

if there weren't.

Rape complaint breakdown
for Brooklyn North

for the past two years.
It's pretty clear

where your old boss wanted
his detectives

to focus their time

and where he didn't.

(laughing)

Detective Desmond Troy.

You lost?

They said they were
short-handed in a couple

precincts in Brooklyn North.
I took a 60-day assignment.

How's Manhattan South Homicide managing

without you?

I'm out of Manhattan
South Homicide.

Why's that?
My soon-to-be-ex wife works there.

Oof, that is quite
a drop in class,

going
from Manhattan South Homicide

to a lowly squad detective
in East New York.

Hopefully it's only temporary.
Couldn't be

temporary enough
from where I'm sitting.

Will you two stop?

Us two?
Yeah, you two.

Come on, make nice.

(sighs)

As long as you're
here, Desmond,

how about you take
a case off my hands?

If it's something
you think I can handle.

Oh, sure, sure, sure.
It's a cold case

from 15 years ago.

Some skel who lived
in Ruskin Gardens.

Got a couple of uniforms
living over there.

Might want to start
by talking to them.

See you in the interview room.
I got to hit the head.

You pick the 7-4
just to wind him up?

The fact you were here might've
had something to do with it.

Oh, God, you're one of those.

One of what?

A romantic.
(shudders)

(sighs)

I didn't get him after all?

No, it's lucky for you
all you did was wound him.

I didn't even hurt him
that much.

I'm so stupid.

Antonia...

you're gonna be charged
with attempted murder.

They could put you away
for 15 years.

Had I killed him,
it would have been worth it.

I don't think so.

After the seasons came
once or twice

with you still inside...

I'm sure you'd come to feel
that nothing was worth it.

He changed my life, Crystal.

I was one person

before he did that to me
and I'm another person after.

I believe you.

I know you do.

The one thing that kept me
going was that you believed me.

And I didn't hold it
against you that...

it wasn't enough.

We didn't have
a suspect back then.

Um... how'd you find this guy?

I had stopped going
to the market.

I had stopped doing anything.

One day my nephews
were coming over,

I had to get
some stuff and I...

saw his picture on the wall.

He's a manager there.

I struck up conversation
with someone who worked there,

and she told me
he'd been transferred

to the East New York location.

Who was it you struck up
a conversation with?

Uh, her name was Yolanda Evans.

She was an assistant manager
at the Gowanus store.

Oh, when I saw his picture...

when I finally knew his name...

it's like everything
came into focus.

Suddenly I had
a purpose.

I tracked him.

I knew what time he got to work,
what time he got out.

I read up,
and I got a.38 caliber revolver,

'cause I thought it would have
been easier to handle.

Turns out it wasn't
as easy as I thought.

I took my shot
and just ran.

What did you talk
to Yolanda Evans about?

I told her that I knew him
from college

and I just wanted
to get in touch.

She told me not to trust him.

want to go

You work here when Reid Kissoon
was the general manager?

I sure did.
How was that?

It was all right.
How good could it be, right?

You here on account
of some woman shot him?

She said you
directed her

to the store that was opening
in East New York.

I didn't know
she was gonna shoot him.

And nobody said you did.

Can you tell us
anything about him?

He was a little pervy.

But as long
as he gave me

halfway decent hours
and kept his hands to himself,

I got along with him.

How was he pervy?

His whole thing
with the cameras.

Half the time,

he'd be back here,
staring up at the screen.

And if I came in here
and there was...

a pretty girl on camera,

he wouldn't take his eyes
off her.

Sometimes he'd say to me,

"What do you think of her,
Yolanda?"

I'd say, "Mr. Kissoon, I
don't think nothin' about her."

MORALES:
Mm. Yeah.

Were there any ones he was
particularly interested in?

Yeah. One time,

he made me pull the credit card
receipt for one of them.

Do you happen to have

a digital archive
of that credit card purchase?

You're not in any kind

We're here because of a shooting

at the Green Gro supermarket

in East New York
this morning.

The target of that shooting
was an individual

by the name of Reid Kissoon.

The woman

who stands accused
of the shooting

claims that Mr. Kissoon

raped her in March of 2021.

Well, whoever it was that raped

That's right. I did.

We're sorry to put you

But if you and this other woman
were raped by the same man,

there could be
other victims out there.

Could you tell us
what happened?

It was...

Labor Day weekend.

The restaurant was busy.

I didn't get out, mm, of
the kitchen until midnight.

I was at the bar having a drink,

and then this guy
started talking to me.

He was witty.

He knew a lot about
wine and exotic produce

and the healing
properties of guava.

I actually enjoyed
talking to him.

But not enough
to give him my number.

So, when I shook hands and
said good night, I thought

that was the last
I'd be seeing him.

Mm, boy, was I wrong.

When...

I unlocked the door
to my apartment,

he was behind me.

(shudders)

He...

he put one hand over my mouth,

pushed me inside,

bent me over the side
of this couch...

...and raped me.

Okay,
so you...

you didn't have a name,

didn't have an address.

W-Was there
security camera footage?

Was there anyone who could
identify him from the bar?

From what they told me,
all they had was this ring

and that it wasn't enough
to go to the D.A. with.

What ring was that?

It was this silver ring

that I bought myself
in San Francisco.

I scratched him with it.

Where's that ring now?
Beats me.

I-I gave it to the detective
who interviewed me,

and that's the last I saw of it.

as an acquaintance
rather than a stranger? I do.

He bought her a glass of wine.

I'm not saying
it's a legitimate distinction.

But?
No "but."

All of these cases

should have been fully
investigated, and they weren't.

Understand--

Special Victims's policy

is based on resources
and workload.

If any of this
is ever gonna change,

the Chief of Department
and the PC

have to be on board
with the changes.

Anything we can do

to help move
this along?

I am serious.

Maybe.

What?

(mouse clicking)

Maybe.

(Thora exhales)

Oh.

You didn't need
to bring nothin'.

It's only right
that I don't come empty-handed.

Where are these from?

This German bakery
down by the precinct.

Hmm. Well, it so happens
I have a sweet potato pie

cooling on the counter.

Oh.
So,

we can compare your...

German bakery by the precinct
with my sweet potato pie.

Okay, I'd love that.

Thora,

you don't mind
living by yourself?

Mind? (chuckles)

I wouldn't have it
any other way.

So...

Shuggie.

How long were
you two together?

Off and on...

about 18 years.

Wow. That's a long time.

Mm.
Do you miss him?

Sometimes.

It must be hard losing someone
violently like that.

There's all kinds of
things that are hard.

So, do you have...

any idea who would want
to kill him?

There were all kinds of people
who wanted to kill him.

Shuggie didn't care nothin'

about cheating people
out of their money.

Old people.

Simple people.

People sign over their mortgages

and he end up owning
their houses.

Why were you with him?

It wasn't all bad.

We had some fun.

I mean,

he could be... sweet.

When he wanted to be.

Did you ever...

get on him about cheating
these people?

Yeah. I did.

He'd say I didn't
understand business.

And he wasn't
wrong about that.

Though I did understand
his business.

Let me go check on that pie.

(chuckles)

You never had
sweet potato pie?

No. Never.

Mm, well, darling,

you are in
for a treat.

Well, I can't wait.

(chuckles softly)

♪ ♪

Five Borough.

Where Shuggie's
body was found.

(Thora sighs)

It still needs
to cool a little. Okay.

You used to work here
at the Five Borough Bakery?

I sure did.

Now let's see
what you got here.

QUINLAN:
Yeah.

(indistinct chatter)

YENKO:
So,

what do you got for me, Tommy?
Uh, nothing

so far, Captain. But...

I brought Detective Troy
into it,

and he's First Grade
from Manhattan South Homicide.

So, between us, you know,
we-we should be able to get

some answers.

I'll meet you upstairs.

Yeah, I just been pretty busy
with the supermarket shooting.

Yeah. That's why you
passed it off to Troy.

I didn't really pass off.

I mean, I'll still be involved.
Yeah, no,

no, of course. I mean,
you're getting pulled

in five different
directions, right?

First, one thing's a priority.

Then the other thing's
a priority,

and there's only so many hours
in the day.

Exactly.
Nobody cares.

Chief of Detectives wants
cold cases cleared.

And if they're not cleared,

he wants to know that
every effort has been made

to try and clear them.

You understand me, Tommy?

Everybody wants what they want.

They don't give a rat's ass
what anybody else wants.

Capisce?

Yeah, we'll try to have
something for you tomorrow.

I know you will.

(exhales)

Hey, did you make any headway
on that cold case? No.

I get a feeling those uniforms
living in that project

are less than enthusiastic
about snooping around.

The X-O's leaning on me.

Happy to take the heat for you
if you want me to.

Since when have you developed
such a generous nature?

As long as I'm here,
I want to be helpful.

Huh.

We found these in Kissoon's
bedroom closet.

Each disc labeled with
a date and description

of the woman
the security camera recorded.

Whoa, there's a lot.

Yeah,
the sick bastard was organized,

I'll give him that.

Obsessed is more like it.

This one is of
Penelope Vega.

(drive opens, closes)

This one is of Antonia Ortiz.

Both of their cases have
red stickers on them.

My guess is that means
those are the ones he raped.

Are those the only
red stickers?

No.

Bring him in.
He's still in the hospital, boss.

Then go to the hospital
and bring him in from there.

If he's breathing,
bring him in.

KISSOON:
You searched my apartment?

Well, when there's a shooting,
we look to gather evidence

wherever we can find it.

We couldn't help but notice
you enjoy watching

security camera footage.

First I get shot,

then my privacy gets violated?

With the grand opening,

this was supposed to be
a good week. Mm.

There's time yet.

Maybe you could
turn it around.

KILLIAN:
At least two of those discs

have security camera footage
of women

who claim that you raped them.

Well, they're lying.

And what, exactly,
does that prove?

That I'm a voyeur?

Okay, I'm a voyeur.

No, no, you're right.
Seems crazy.

But to keep it straight,

you admit having had
sexual relations

with Antonia Ortiz,

but you maintain
it was consensual?

In all respects.

What about Penelope Vega?
Wow!

They're coming out
of the woodwork, aren't they?

Well, Penelope Vega
and Antonia Ortiz

have the same account.

You know, drink at the bar,
follow 'em home,

push in the front door
behind 'em.

MORALES:
And according to your doctor,

the exit wound was
in the back.

You were shot in the front.

You know what, I'm done
talking to the two of you.

Yeah, I'm sure you're tired.

You know, and the last thing
we want to do is

put you through
any further strain.

But the thing is,

when two incidents closely
resemble each other,

we look for a pattern.

MORALES:
You want to tell us how many times

that pattern was repeated?

I don't know what
you're talking about. How many were there, Reid?

How many women did you rape?

I--

You can't prove
that I raped any of them.

KILLIAN:
See, that's where you're wrong.

MORALES:
We have a DNA match

from Penelope Vega.
What?

KILLIAN:
The ring she scratched your face with,

and the gauze your gunshot wound
was bandaged with

are a perfect match
with the rape kit.

MORALES:
The only question is whether or not

you want to come clean
about anyone else.

What I want is a lawyer.

You got it.

(pained grunts)

Tell them you're
officially under arrest.

You can't do this.
Get me my lawyer. Now!

(indistinct radio chatter)

They're gonna take you
over to arraignment.

There'll be a bail hearing.

Given that you're employed,

and you have ties
to the community,

it's possible
they'll release you

on your own recognizance.

Past that,

you need a good lawyer.

Any suggestions?

There's a few I can think of.

They'll bring it to
the court's attention

that you were
in fact raped,

and that your rapist
has been arrested

for a similar crime.

Whether you plead
temporary insanity

or PTSD, there's a chance
you won't have to do

any jail time at all.

A chance.

But-- Uh-- What similar
crime did he commit?

(sighs)

A few months after he raped you,

he raped
another woman.

I'm sure
a thorough investigation

will reveal he raped others.

I know you would have caught him

if they let you, Crystal.

Yeah. I wish that would have
been the case.

(Killian clears throat)

Hey, they have to run her
over to Central Booking.

Hands behind your back.
Thank you.

I'll get you the names
of those lawyers.

Thank you.

(sighs)

How you doing?

Oh, I've been better.

Don't you have a home
to go to?

I guess I do.

Wishing you hadn't volunteered

to move into the projects?

No.

I am wishing I was more
sure of myself, though.

As far as what goes?

You live somewhere,
you find things out.

You know, things that
you would never find out

if you just worked
in that place.

I mean, you get to
know these people

because they're
your neighbors.

So you act like their neighbor,
and then...

you come into
a piece of information,

and you're supposed
to act like a cop.

Figure out who killed
Shuggie Adams?

I figured out that
where his body was dumped

makes it seem likely that one
of those neighbors killed him.

You know, I locked up Shuggie
Adams two or three times.

And I also think I got
a pretty good idea who shot him.

We make these
decisions every day

about who we bring in
and who we let go.

That's the job.

Yeah, and no one
tells us that

these are our decisions to make,

but sometimes they are.

That's right,
sometimes they are.

So how do you know?

How do you know that
you've made the right decision?

When I sleep good at night.

I want to do right
by Ruskin Gardens, Marvin.

I... I want me being there

to be a good thing.

Then ask yourself
who are you working for?

I saw what Shuggie Adams did
to all the people around him.

And I promise you,
it's a better place

with him gone.

Wait, wait, wait.
You didn't tell me--

You didn't tell me
what to do.

Oh, yeah, I did.

TROY:
How you doing, Officer?

Marvin Sandeford.
Desmond Troy.

SANDEFORD:
You working out of the Squad here?

For the time being.

Officer Quinlan found guns
in an elevator shaft.

Now I got a 15-year-old
homicide to work.

If it ain't one thing
it's two, huh?

TROY: (laughs)
That's right.

Anything come to light
about that homicide?

No. I-I put some feelers out,
but nothing came back.

Yeah, I kind of figured
nothing would.

Detective.
Chief.

Please. Uh, thanks for
coming down here.

I know it's been a long day.

Am I in trouble?

Not as far as I'm concerned.

She in any kind of trouble
with you, Regina?

Far from it.

So, then, why am I here?

I don't usually get summoned

to the Borough
Commander's office.

It took guts to do
what you did, Detective.

I've seen how you work.

I know how frustrated
you must have been

at Special Victims.
That's why I left.

Detective, the job
doesn't appreciate

having its failures held up
to the light of day.

Which means sometimes
they shoot the messenger.

Want to propose something
to you, Detective.

And I want you
to understand

you are free to decline
this proposition.

I understand.

I have a friend
over at DOJ

whom I've known for a long time.

If an investigation
into the practices

over at Special Victims
is warranted,

there is no one who I would
trust more to conduct it.

HAYWOOD:
It's possible talking to them

might not be
a good career move.

Is that the kind of thing
you'd worry about?

I'm in a different position.

You weren't always in
a different position, Inspector.

SUAREZ:
No, she wasn't.

I'll talk to whoever you think
I should talk to.

I thought we were
doing this together.

Oh, no, we are.

Okay.

Do you think
that we made a mistake?

By agreeing to shovel mulch?
No.

Moving into Ruskin Gardens.

I don't think it was
a mistake, no.

Seems like it's
a worthwhile thing to do.

To try, at least.

It's pretty complicated.

As far as what you did
or didn't tell this detective?

Yeah, for starters.

I think you did
the right thing

by not pointing him
in the direction

of making Thora a suspect.

I think if you had,
you'd regret it.

You mean if she were to get
arrested and stand trial?

Or if she were convicted
and sent to prison.

Even though I may have
withheld evidence?

(chuckles)

Even though everything.

You're so sure
of yourself.

When there's something
to be sure about, yeah.
