1
00:00:04,805 --> 00:00:06,807
The answer's no, Eddie.

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,377
Fantasy football
is a blast.

3
00:00:09,410 --> 00:00:10,344
I'm second
in my league.

4
00:00:10,378 --> 00:00:11,745
I just need a little
help with the playoffs.

5
00:00:11,779 --> 00:00:12,746
I don't gamble.

6
00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:15,549
It's not gambling,
exactly.

7
00:00:15,583 --> 00:00:17,351
Look, I already have
a fantasy football team.

8
00:00:17,385 --> 00:00:18,586
Okay? It's called the Jets.

9
00:00:18,619 --> 00:00:20,388
Every year, I fantasize
they're not gonna suck.

10
00:00:20,421 --> 00:00:21,489
What's that?

11
00:00:21,522 --> 00:00:23,424
JANKO:
Kenneth Tripp. Child predator.

12
00:00:23,457 --> 00:00:24,692
413 Third Avenue,
Apartment 1B.

13
00:00:24,725 --> 00:00:26,494
"Protect your kids."

14
00:00:27,861 --> 00:00:29,230
Excuse me, sir.

15
00:00:29,263 --> 00:00:30,764
Do you live here?

16
00:00:30,798 --> 00:00:32,433
Michael Ruiz. I'm in 3G.

17
00:00:32,466 --> 00:00:33,801
Ah, that's a
tough situation.

18
00:00:33,834 --> 00:00:35,569
Yeah. I got three little girls.

19
00:00:35,603 --> 00:00:37,305
My wife and I
moved to this neighborhood

20
00:00:37,338 --> 00:00:39,173
because it was supposed to be
safe for kids.

21
00:00:39,207 --> 00:00:40,441
You sure about this guy Tripp?

22
00:00:40,474 --> 00:00:41,675
Yeah, found his name online.

23
00:00:41,709 --> 00:00:43,377
He's a Level 2 sex offender.

24
00:00:43,411 --> 00:00:44,545
He spent
15 months in jail

25
00:00:44,578 --> 00:00:46,380
for molesting
a nine-year-old kid.

26
00:00:46,414 --> 00:00:47,848
You guys got to do something.

27
00:00:47,881 --> 00:00:50,151
Uh, we-we'll check him out,

28
00:00:50,184 --> 00:00:51,652
but if he did his time
and he registered,

29
00:00:51,685 --> 00:00:53,854
there's really
not much we can do.

30
00:00:53,887 --> 00:00:56,190
You know, this guy
may have rights, but so do we.

31
00:00:56,224 --> 00:00:57,458
Our kids live here,

32
00:00:57,491 --> 00:00:59,193
they play here,
and we're scared.

33
00:00:59,227 --> 00:01:00,694
Who do we see about that?

34
00:01:07,801 --> 00:01:10,771
How much you think a school
like this costs a year?

35
00:01:10,804 --> 00:01:13,207
Got to be, what,
50 grand a year.

36
00:01:13,241 --> 00:01:14,542
Damn. Must be nice.

37
00:01:14,575 --> 00:01:16,144
That's only
starting in kindergarten.

38
00:01:16,177 --> 00:01:17,145
Wow.

39
00:01:17,178 --> 00:01:18,146
What do we got?

40
00:01:18,179 --> 00:01:21,115
Dylan Gardner, 17.

41
00:01:21,149 --> 00:01:22,783
Looks like he O.D.'d.
This was found in his hand.

42
00:01:22,816 --> 00:01:25,753
Doesn't look like milk
and cookies to me.

43
00:01:25,786 --> 00:01:28,122
BAEZ: Kid had it made;
why is he messing with drugs?

44
00:01:28,156 --> 00:01:29,657
Why does any kid
mess with drugs?

45
00:01:29,690 --> 00:01:31,759
I guess opioids are
everywhere these days.

46
00:01:31,792 --> 00:01:34,228
Let's see who he
spoke to last.

47
00:01:34,262 --> 00:01:35,396
Maybe we'll come up
with something.

48
00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:36,630
I'll get an emergency dump
on his phone.

49
00:01:36,664 --> 00:01:39,233
We're gonna want to
speak to his parents.

50
00:01:39,267 --> 00:01:40,434
They're probably
on their way.

51
00:01:40,468 --> 00:01:42,503
Poaching one of our cases again,
Detectives?

52
00:01:42,536 --> 00:01:45,206
Special Agent Bell?

53
00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:47,641
Fifth O.D. at a prep school
in the past six weeks.

54
00:01:47,675 --> 00:01:49,277
I'm running
the investigation

55
00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:50,644
for the Drug Enforcement
Task Force.

56
00:01:50,678 --> 00:01:52,513
You thinking all these
O.D.s are connected?

57
00:01:52,546 --> 00:01:53,647
That's what we're trying
to find out.

58
00:01:53,681 --> 00:01:55,383
You want some help with that?

59
00:01:55,416 --> 00:01:56,817
Last time we worked together,

60
00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:58,519
you two weren't exactly
team players.

61
00:01:58,552 --> 00:01:59,520
That's true.

62
00:01:59,553 --> 00:02:00,754
But then again, we did seize

63
00:02:00,788 --> 00:02:03,524
the largest pile of drug cash
in the history of New York.

64
00:02:03,557 --> 00:02:05,193
So there's that little tidbit.

65
00:02:05,226 --> 00:02:06,694
Promise to behave yourselves?

66
00:02:06,727 --> 00:02:08,396
Yes.
No.

67
00:02:08,429 --> 00:02:09,797
Close enough. You're hired.

68
00:02:12,833 --> 00:02:14,902
We need to nail whoever's
spreading this poison.

69
00:02:17,971 --> 00:02:21,442
GORMLEY: A van full of U.N.
delegates from West Africa

70
00:02:21,475 --> 00:02:22,943
got pulled over
at the Midtown Tunnel

71
00:02:22,976 --> 00:02:24,445
and detained for over an hour.

72
00:02:24,478 --> 00:02:25,513
For?

73
00:02:25,546 --> 00:02:27,415
We don't know, exactly.

74
00:02:27,448 --> 00:02:29,217
Because of the delay,
they missed a vote.

75
00:02:29,250 --> 00:02:30,684
We're expecting an
angry phone call

76
00:02:30,718 --> 00:02:32,686
from the secretary
general's office.

77
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,388
And by "we," I mean me.

78
00:02:34,422 --> 00:02:37,591
And how come we don't know
why they were detained?

79
00:02:37,625 --> 00:02:39,493
'Cause it wasn't our guys
that pulled them over.

80
00:02:39,527 --> 00:02:40,861
Was state troopers.

81
00:02:40,894 --> 00:02:43,397
What?

82
00:02:43,431 --> 00:02:44,732
Apparently the governor
assigned extra manpower

83
00:02:44,765 --> 00:02:47,335
to all bridge and
tunnel crossings.

84
00:02:47,368 --> 00:02:49,570
And yes, without informing
our office.

85
00:02:49,603 --> 00:02:51,605
Did I miss a credible threat?

86
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:52,373
No.

87
00:02:52,406 --> 00:02:54,708
These yo-yos were
the only threat.

88
00:02:54,742 --> 00:02:57,345
Pulling random checks.
Tunnel was jammed for hours.

89
00:02:57,378 --> 00:02:58,512
Why weren't we notified?

90
00:02:58,546 --> 00:02:59,580
Our state police liaison

91
00:02:59,613 --> 00:03:01,649
said it came straight
from the governor's office

92
00:03:01,682 --> 00:03:05,219
with strict orders
not to inform the NYPD.

93
00:03:05,253 --> 00:03:06,887
That's a how, not a why.

94
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:07,988
My money's on our mayor.

95
00:03:08,021 --> 00:03:09,156
The mayor's part of it?

96
00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:11,725
Oh, no, I bet the mayor's
out of it, too, on purpose.

97
00:03:11,759 --> 00:03:12,826
Purpose being?

98
00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:13,861
Just conjecture here,

99
00:03:13,894 --> 00:03:15,729
but Mayor Poole had
a lot of friends in Albany

100
00:03:15,763 --> 00:03:17,765
that helped keep the governor's
bullying in check.

101
00:03:17,798 --> 00:03:19,733
Mayor Dutton has no such pull.

102
00:03:19,767 --> 00:03:22,336
And according to my sources,
when the guv denied her request

103
00:03:22,370 --> 00:03:24,772
for backup when we had
the riots on Rikers,

104
00:03:24,805 --> 00:03:26,507
she kind of went off on him.

105
00:03:26,540 --> 00:03:28,342
She do her homework
on the governor?

106
00:03:28,376 --> 00:03:29,610
No way of knowing.
Guy's got thinner skin

107
00:03:29,643 --> 00:03:31,479
than a grape;
who doesn't know that?

108
00:03:31,512 --> 00:03:34,482
From what I've seen, she doesn't
always read a room real good.

109
00:03:34,515 --> 00:03:36,484
What about Carter?

110
00:03:36,517 --> 00:03:38,452
You mean Carlton?
What about Carlton?

111
00:03:38,486 --> 00:03:40,388
What about Carlton?
That wasn't a question.

112
00:03:40,421 --> 00:03:42,590
Oh. Right.

113
00:03:46,927 --> 00:03:50,364
We got your number from
Dylan Gardner's phone.

114
00:03:50,398 --> 00:03:51,932
Um, how do you and he
know each other?

115
00:03:51,965 --> 00:03:54,502
Uh, Dylan is a student of mine.

116
00:03:54,535 --> 00:03:56,504
You teach at
Garson Academy?

117
00:03:56,537 --> 00:03:58,572
Literature and composition.

118
00:03:58,606 --> 00:04:00,808
And you're taking
the day off today?

119
00:04:00,841 --> 00:04:01,909
I, uh...

120
00:04:01,942 --> 00:04:03,544
just trying to shake a cold.

121
00:04:05,646 --> 00:04:09,517
So, you and Dylan, what'd
you guys talk about?

122
00:04:09,550 --> 00:04:10,918
I really can't recall.

123
00:04:10,951 --> 00:04:12,920
That's interesting.
It was just a few hours ago.

124
00:04:12,953 --> 00:04:13,754
No recollection, huh?

125
00:04:13,787 --> 00:04:15,856
Is there, uh, is there
a problem here?

126
00:04:15,889 --> 00:04:18,392
Yeah, actually there is
a little bit of a problem.

127
00:04:18,426 --> 00:04:20,394
Dylan overdosed. He's dead.

128
00:04:20,428 --> 00:04:23,331
But that-that can't be true.

129
00:04:23,364 --> 00:04:24,398
No, it's true.

130
00:04:24,432 --> 00:04:25,666
You know anything about that?

131
00:04:25,699 --> 00:04:27,701
What the hell is this?

132
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:33,541
Oh, I-I, I can explain that.

133
00:04:33,574 --> 00:04:35,543
You can explain down
at the squad room.

134
00:04:35,576 --> 00:04:37,077
You're under arrest
for criminal possession

135
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:38,479
of a controlled substance.

136
00:04:38,512 --> 00:04:39,847
Give me your hand.

137
00:04:42,450 --> 00:04:44,318
Is that something
you do all the time?

138
00:04:44,352 --> 00:04:46,086
You know, get high
with your students?

139
00:04:46,119 --> 00:04:48,422
It wasn't a social thing.
I'm addicted to this stuff.

140
00:04:48,456 --> 00:04:50,424
Yeah, kind of figured
out that part.

141
00:04:50,458 --> 00:04:51,559
(panting):
Danny.

142
00:04:51,592 --> 00:04:53,093
No, I'm just
saying, you know.

143
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:55,062
Is it something he does
for extra credit or what?

144
00:04:55,095 --> 00:04:56,330
I don't know.

145
00:04:56,364 --> 00:04:57,731
Does he grade
him on it?

146
00:04:57,765 --> 00:04:59,066
Danny.

147
00:04:59,099 --> 00:05:00,768
Detective,
something's wrong.

148
00:05:00,801 --> 00:05:01,869
What?

149
00:05:01,902 --> 00:05:04,905
Baez? Hey.
Hey, what's the matter?

150
00:05:04,938 --> 00:05:06,440
She's overdosing.

151
00:05:06,474 --> 00:05:08,709
She what?!
What are you talking about?!

152
00:05:08,742 --> 00:05:10,678
The tray she picked up,
there was fentanyl on it.

153
00:05:10,711 --> 00:05:12,480
We got to get her
to a hospital, now!

154
00:05:12,513 --> 00:05:13,681
Hey, Baez!

155
00:05:13,714 --> 00:05:14,715
(siren wailing)

156
00:05:14,748 --> 00:05:16,450
Hang in there, okay? Hey!

157
00:05:16,484 --> 00:05:18,986
Hang on, partner!

158
00:05:19,019 --> 00:05:21,389
MAN (over P.A.):
Code blue. Code blue.

159
00:05:21,422 --> 00:05:23,657
(intercom beeping)

160
00:05:23,691 --> 00:05:25,058
I'm Dr. Khan.

161
00:05:25,092 --> 00:05:26,727
Any idea what she came
in contact with?

162
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,429
Perp said she got fentanyl
on her hands.

163
00:05:28,462 --> 00:05:30,698
Explains the extreme reaction.
Naloxone stat.

164
00:05:30,731 --> 00:05:31,732
Prep cubicle 2.

165
00:05:31,765 --> 00:05:32,866
What the hell's happening here?

166
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:34,668
She was fine one second,
the next minute,

167
00:05:34,702 --> 00:05:35,869
she's not breathing.

168
00:05:35,903 --> 00:05:37,371
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid.

169
00:05:37,405 --> 00:05:38,939
50 to 100 times
stronger than morphine.

170
00:05:38,972 --> 00:05:41,909
The slightest exposure
can trigger an overdose.

171
00:05:41,942 --> 00:05:43,611
What are you saying?

172
00:05:43,644 --> 00:05:45,112
My partner's gonna
wake up, right?

173
00:05:45,145 --> 00:05:46,880
Tell me she's gonna wake up!

174
00:05:46,914 --> 00:05:49,650
Look, fentanyl has a profound
impact on respiratory function.

175
00:05:49,683 --> 00:05:51,485
Hopefully, you got her
here in time.

176
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:52,420
Wait.

177
00:05:52,453 --> 00:05:54,955
We'll do everything we can.

178
00:06:01,161 --> 00:06:03,363
*

179
00:06:26,186 --> 00:06:29,156
You mind telling me
what we're doing here, Reagan?

180
00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:30,958
Just want to
talk to the guy.

181
00:06:30,991 --> 00:06:31,992
Tripp's been clean
since he got out.

182
00:06:32,025 --> 00:06:34,595
His parole officer said
he's been a model citizen.

183
00:06:34,628 --> 00:06:37,631
Tell that to the people
living in this building.

184
00:06:37,665 --> 00:06:39,967
What if he, what if
he claims harassment?

185
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,470
You want to wait in the car?

186
00:06:44,738 --> 00:06:46,139
(whispers):
No.

187
00:06:50,578 --> 00:06:52,446
(knocking)

188
00:06:55,215 --> 00:06:56,784
Can I help you?

189
00:06:56,817 --> 00:06:57,751
Kenneth Tripp?

190
00:06:57,785 --> 00:06:59,219
Yes.

191
00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:00,087
I'm Officer Reagan.
This is Officer Janko.

192
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,622
We understand you're
new to the building.

193
00:07:01,655 --> 00:07:03,090
That's right.

194
00:07:03,123 --> 00:07:05,192
Nice place. Lot of families.

195
00:07:05,225 --> 00:07:06,694
So we make
sure to keep

196
00:07:06,727 --> 00:07:08,095
a real close eye out on patrol.

197
00:07:08,128 --> 00:07:10,230
I see.

198
00:07:10,263 --> 00:07:12,933
We just want you to know you can
feel real safe living here.

199
00:07:12,966 --> 00:07:15,168
I'm well aware that my neighbors
don't want me here, Officers.

200
00:07:15,202 --> 00:07:17,738
So why choose
a family building like this?

201
00:07:17,771 --> 00:07:19,807
Because my mother lives
a couple of blocks from here.

202
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,509
She isn't well;
I take care of her.

203
00:07:21,542 --> 00:07:22,876
Well, why not move in with her?

204
00:07:25,579 --> 00:07:27,581
Because she lives
in a school zone.

205
00:07:27,615 --> 00:07:29,182
Which would violate your parole.

206
00:07:29,216 --> 00:07:30,450
Yes.

207
00:07:31,819 --> 00:07:33,987
Now, look, I haven't done
anything wrong.

208
00:07:34,021 --> 00:07:36,056
I just want to be left alone.
Parents in this building

209
00:07:36,089 --> 00:07:37,958
are saying the same thing
about their kids.

210
00:07:39,660 --> 00:07:41,929
You need to respect that,
understand?

211
00:07:46,266 --> 00:07:47,901
I made a mistake.

212
00:07:47,935 --> 00:07:50,270
I paid the price,

213
00:07:50,303 --> 00:07:53,874
and now I'd just like
to live my life in peace.

214
00:07:56,143 --> 00:07:58,145
Excuse me.

215
00:08:02,015 --> 00:08:03,617
(lock clicks)

216
00:08:06,053 --> 00:08:09,122
You're in a boatload
of trouble, Mr. Stratton.

217
00:08:09,156 --> 00:08:11,024
A teacher abusing
drugs is bad enough,

218
00:08:11,058 --> 00:08:12,860
but sharing them with the
students is a disgrace.

219
00:08:12,893 --> 00:08:14,695
I know I have a problem.
And you're gonna have

220
00:08:14,728 --> 00:08:17,030
an even bigger problem
if you're not straight with us.

221
00:08:17,064 --> 00:08:19,032
Did you sell Dylan the
drugs that killed him?

222
00:08:19,066 --> 00:08:20,868
What? What? No.
Answer the question!

223
00:08:20,901 --> 00:08:22,736
No, no. You've got,
you've got it all wrong.

224
00:08:22,770 --> 00:08:23,871
So set us straight.

225
00:08:23,904 --> 00:08:26,774
I-I wasn't Dylan's dealer.

226
00:08:26,807 --> 00:08:28,141
I was his customer.

227
00:08:28,175 --> 00:08:30,043
Oh, you want us to believe
that you bought

228
00:08:30,077 --> 00:08:31,244
the drugs from the kid?

229
00:08:31,278 --> 00:08:32,746
Is that what you're saying?

230
00:08:32,780 --> 00:08:35,115
Look, I had kidney stone
surgery last year.

231
00:08:35,148 --> 00:08:36,316
I left the hospital

232
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:38,051
addicted to hydrocodone.

233
00:08:38,085 --> 00:08:39,052
When the doctors
finally wouldn't

234
00:08:39,086 --> 00:08:40,153
prescribe me any more...

235
00:08:40,187 --> 00:08:41,622
You turned to one
of your students.

236
00:08:41,655 --> 00:08:43,791
Yeah, real pathetic.
Never heard of rehab?

237
00:08:43,824 --> 00:08:45,826
Yeah. I tried it twice.

238
00:08:45,859 --> 00:08:48,295
At least you're still breathing,
unlike Dylan Gardner.

239
00:08:55,803 --> 00:08:58,071
He's in withdrawal.

240
00:08:58,105 --> 00:09:00,273
Maybe his memory will improve
after he sees a doctor.

241
00:09:00,307 --> 00:09:01,975
Good. Then I'll call him a bus.

242
00:09:02,009 --> 00:09:03,844
Reagan.

243
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:05,345
She's gonna make it.

244
00:09:05,378 --> 00:09:07,981
Yeah.

245
00:09:08,015 --> 00:09:10,150
She isn't scheduled to leave
Bronx Botanical

246
00:09:10,183 --> 00:09:11,351
for another half hour.

247
00:09:11,384 --> 00:09:12,920
You are welcome to wait.

248
00:09:12,953 --> 00:09:14,087
Carter...
Carlton.

249
00:09:14,121 --> 00:09:15,923
Sorry. Carlton.

250
00:09:15,956 --> 00:09:18,258
We have
a packed day ourselves.

251
00:09:18,291 --> 00:09:20,227
Then why are you here
a half hour early

252
00:09:20,260 --> 00:09:22,763
for someone who is always
a half hour late?

253
00:09:22,796 --> 00:09:23,831
GARRETT: Must've been
a screwup on your end.

254
00:09:23,864 --> 00:09:25,999
I had us down for 4:00 sharp.

255
00:09:26,033 --> 00:09:27,234
I didn't screw up.

256
00:09:27,267 --> 00:09:29,069
Doesn't matter.

257
00:09:29,102 --> 00:09:30,270
Is the mayor aware

258
00:09:30,303 --> 00:09:34,842
that the governor platooned
state troopers to her city?

259
00:09:34,875 --> 00:09:37,077
Yes.

260
00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:40,113
The incident with the U.N.
delegates was unfortunate.

261
00:09:40,147 --> 00:09:41,882
She called
the secretary general's office

262
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:43,150
as soon as she heard.

263
00:09:43,183 --> 00:09:45,653
So she didn't get
a heads-up either.

264
00:09:45,686 --> 00:09:47,921
The transportation
hubs fall

265
00:09:47,955 --> 00:09:49,189
within state police
jurisdiction.

266
00:09:49,222 --> 00:09:51,725
The governor has
every right to act

267
00:09:51,759 --> 00:09:54,594
independently of us and you.

268
00:09:55,763 --> 00:09:56,730
You work for him now?

269
00:09:56,764 --> 00:09:58,331
No, I work for the mayor.

270
00:09:58,365 --> 00:09:59,266
FRANK:
Me, too.

271
00:09:59,299 --> 00:10:01,802
Here we are, just
a couple of worker bees

272
00:10:01,835 --> 00:10:03,804
shooting the breeze.

273
00:10:03,837 --> 00:10:05,138
What do you want?

274
00:10:06,874 --> 00:10:09,877
There has always been overlap
between city and state cops.

275
00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:13,413
We've been able to manage it
through effective communication.

276
00:10:13,446 --> 00:10:14,882
Until now.

277
00:10:14,915 --> 00:10:18,351
This governor has
a tendency to overreach.

278
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,755
And our boss?

279
00:10:21,789 --> 00:10:24,658
Has a tendency to,
shall we say...

280
00:10:24,692 --> 00:10:26,059
Drag her feet.
Backpedal.

281
00:10:26,093 --> 00:10:28,295
Weigh each side
carefully before...

282
00:10:28,328 --> 00:10:29,329
Flip-flopping?

283
00:10:29,362 --> 00:10:32,299
Coming to an informed decision.

284
00:10:32,332 --> 00:10:35,836
As was her strength
as public advocate.

285
00:10:35,869 --> 00:10:38,238
Look, she doesn't want to go up
against this governor.

286
00:10:38,271 --> 00:10:39,940
Smart.

287
00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:41,441
You think?
I do.

288
00:10:41,474 --> 00:10:42,943
You do?

289
00:10:42,976 --> 00:10:45,212
It is a law enforcement issue

290
00:10:45,245 --> 00:10:48,716
and one that is best left
to her police commissioner.

291
00:10:48,749 --> 00:10:50,450
Easier said than done.

292
00:10:50,483 --> 00:10:53,053
But easily said.
We'll take the done part.

293
00:10:53,086 --> 00:10:54,922
CARLTON:
You sound very confident.

294
00:10:54,955 --> 00:10:58,058
Oh, don't be fooled.
I'm just pretty confident.

295
00:10:58,091 --> 00:11:00,460
So you'll see to this?

296
00:11:00,493 --> 00:11:03,396
I will advise her, yes.

297
00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:06,700
And what were we in
here talking about?

298
00:11:06,734 --> 00:11:09,770
The tree lighting
and the ball drop.

299
00:11:09,803 --> 00:11:11,304
Copy that.

300
00:11:16,810 --> 00:11:18,812
(heart monitor beeping steadily)

301
00:11:23,817 --> 00:11:25,352
Thanks.

302
00:11:30,357 --> 00:11:32,492
Hey, partner.

303
00:11:32,525 --> 00:11:36,329
Stopped by your place,

304
00:11:36,363 --> 00:11:38,832
and figured you might,
uh, want to see

305
00:11:38,866 --> 00:11:42,035
some familiar faces
when you wake up.

306
00:11:42,069 --> 00:11:45,405
Instead of my ugly mug.

307
00:11:45,438 --> 00:11:47,374
Everyone at the squad's
pulling for you.

308
00:11:47,407 --> 00:11:51,111
Told them they got
nothing to worry about.

309
00:11:51,144 --> 00:11:55,949
And I am leaning in real hard
on, uh, that teacher.

310
00:12:02,422 --> 00:12:05,258
I probably don't
say it enough, but...

311
00:12:05,292 --> 00:12:08,161
you're one hell of a cop.

312
00:12:08,195 --> 00:12:11,198
And you're one
hell of a partner.

313
00:12:16,503 --> 00:12:20,207
I really, really
need you to wake up.

314
00:12:23,076 --> 00:12:26,246
I really can't afford
to lose you, too.

315
00:12:36,056 --> 00:12:37,424
(sighs)

316
00:12:37,457 --> 00:12:41,028
So, uh...

317
00:12:41,061 --> 00:12:44,297
I'm just gonna have a seat here
until you stop being stubborn...

318
00:12:46,299 --> 00:12:47,901
...and wake up.

319
00:12:53,340 --> 00:12:55,275
This guy Tripp's
following the law, Jamie.

320
00:12:55,308 --> 00:12:57,110
I don't care what he says
about being reformed.

321
00:12:57,144 --> 00:12:58,578
Those parents have
a right to be worried.

322
00:12:58,611 --> 00:13:01,314
You're right. So they need to
keep a closer eye on their kids.

323
00:13:01,348 --> 00:13:02,816
And we need to do the same.

324
00:13:02,850 --> 00:13:04,551
I'm just saying it's not fair,
that's all.

325
00:13:04,584 --> 00:13:07,087
Sometimes fair's got
nothing to do with it.

326
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,089
DISPATCHER:
12-David, be advised,

327
00:13:09,122 --> 00:13:11,892
you have a 10-24
front of 413 Third Avenue.

328
00:13:11,925 --> 00:13:13,160
That's Tripp's building.

329
00:13:13,193 --> 00:13:15,395
(siren wailing)

330
00:13:19,366 --> 00:13:20,834
(tires screech)

331
00:13:22,369 --> 00:13:23,603
Hey, police!

332
00:13:23,636 --> 00:13:25,272
Step back.
Step aside.

333
00:13:25,305 --> 00:13:27,307
Step aside. Police.
Hey. Back up.

334
00:13:27,340 --> 00:13:29,009
Back up.

335
00:13:30,443 --> 00:13:32,512
It's Tripp.
I'm calling a bus.

336
00:13:32,545 --> 00:13:34,882
Central, 12-David, we need
a bus at this location.

337
00:13:36,116 --> 00:13:37,851
Anybody see who did this?

338
00:13:43,223 --> 00:13:45,225
Nobody saw anything?

339
00:14:02,642 --> 00:14:03,977
(kids laughing)

340
00:14:04,011 --> 00:14:06,613
(talking quietly)

341
00:14:06,646 --> 00:14:08,115
We need to talk to you.

342
00:14:08,148 --> 00:14:10,850
I'll meet you
guys at home.

343
00:14:16,423 --> 00:14:18,125
What can I do for you?

344
00:14:18,158 --> 00:14:19,192
Kenneth Tripp was assaulted

345
00:14:19,226 --> 00:14:20,460
outside your building
last night.

346
00:14:20,493 --> 00:14:22,095
Someone beat him up pretty bad.

347
00:14:22,129 --> 00:14:23,430
What happened to your hand?

348
00:14:25,665 --> 00:14:29,402
Look, I... I wasn't
looking for trouble, okay?

349
00:14:29,436 --> 00:14:30,670
I'm not a violent person.

350
00:14:30,703 --> 00:14:32,005
Tell us what happened.

351
00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:33,540
I came home from work.

352
00:14:33,573 --> 00:14:35,242
Tripp was headed
out of the building.

353
00:14:35,275 --> 00:14:37,144
We started going back and forth
about him living there.

354
00:14:37,177 --> 00:14:38,411
How did Tripp end up
on the ground?

355
00:14:38,445 --> 00:14:40,680
I said what I had to say,
started to head inside.

356
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,116
The next thing I know,
he hits me.

357
00:14:43,150 --> 00:14:44,217
You're saying Tripp threw
the first punch?

358
00:14:44,251 --> 00:14:45,352
Yeah. I had no choice.

359
00:14:45,385 --> 00:14:46,486
I had to defend myself.

360
00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:47,620
Why would Tripp
go after

361
00:14:47,654 --> 00:14:49,022
someone twice his size?

362
00:14:49,056 --> 00:14:51,224
Why would he go after
a kid half his size?

363
00:14:51,258 --> 00:14:52,392
JAMIE:
All right,

364
00:14:52,425 --> 00:14:53,260
we're gonna need you
to come down

365
00:14:53,293 --> 00:14:54,561
to the precinct,
talk with a detective.

366
00:14:54,594 --> 00:14:56,029
Am I under arrest?

367
00:14:56,063 --> 00:14:57,364
Not if you come voluntarily.

368
00:15:05,505 --> 00:15:07,074
Right here?

369
00:15:09,076 --> 00:15:10,243
Nigel Lewis.

370
00:15:10,277 --> 00:15:11,344
Yes?

371
00:15:11,378 --> 00:15:13,480
Detective Reagan.
Special Agent Bell.

372
00:15:13,513 --> 00:15:15,315
Are you here about Dylan?

373
00:15:15,348 --> 00:15:17,184
We hear you two were
really good friends.

374
00:15:17,217 --> 00:15:19,186
Um, yeah. Dylan was the best.

375
00:15:19,219 --> 00:15:20,954
I-I can't believe he's gone.

376
00:15:20,988 --> 00:15:23,023
Yeah, he is gone,
and we'd like to make sure

377
00:15:23,056 --> 00:15:24,724
no other kids go
the same way he did.

378
00:15:24,757 --> 00:15:26,193
We know that Dylan
was selling drugs.

379
00:15:26,226 --> 00:15:27,995
What can you tell us about that?

380
00:15:28,028 --> 00:15:30,097
Uh, nothing.

381
00:15:30,130 --> 00:15:31,398
Nothing at all?
Well, that's interesting,

382
00:15:31,431 --> 00:15:33,066
'cause one of
your teachers told us

383
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:34,601
that you and Dylan
used to party together

384
00:15:34,634 --> 00:15:37,104
and we may want to take
a peek inside your locker.

385
00:15:37,137 --> 00:15:39,472
Um, you can go ahead.
You're not gonna find anything.

386
00:15:39,506 --> 00:15:40,607
BELL:
We want to know

387
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,342
where Dylan got
the drugs he sold.

388
00:15:42,375 --> 00:15:44,511
I have no idea
what you're talking about.

389
00:15:44,544 --> 00:15:46,379
Can I go to class?

390
00:15:46,413 --> 00:15:48,615
No. Actually,
you can't go, okay?

391
00:15:48,648 --> 00:15:50,517
We're not playing
a game here, okay?

392
00:15:50,550 --> 00:15:53,020
Now, you're not the guy
we're looking for,

393
00:15:53,053 --> 00:15:55,122
but you very well could be,
you understand?

394
00:15:55,155 --> 00:15:58,091
With all due respect,
based on what?

395
00:15:58,125 --> 00:16:01,361
Uh, the word of a drug addict
teacher and a bunch of hearsay?

396
00:16:01,394 --> 00:16:04,331
You seem like
a pretty smart kid, Nigel.

397
00:16:04,364 --> 00:16:06,333
Trust me, I know
a lot of smart kids

398
00:16:06,366 --> 00:16:08,435
who end up in prison for drugs.

399
00:16:08,468 --> 00:16:09,569
She's right.

400
00:16:09,602 --> 00:16:11,771
My mom's a criminal defense
attorney.

401
00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:14,374
If you're gonna arrest me
without probable cause,

402
00:16:14,407 --> 00:16:16,609
she'll be waiting
at the precinct.

403
00:16:16,643 --> 00:16:18,478
Uh, can I go to class now?

404
00:16:18,511 --> 00:16:21,448
Get the hell out of here.

405
00:16:26,353 --> 00:16:30,257
I used to play baseball
against prep school kids.

406
00:16:30,290 --> 00:16:31,991
The fights were the best part.

407
00:16:34,761 --> 00:16:38,798
Please don't do anything
I wouldn't do.

408
00:16:38,831 --> 00:16:40,667
(elevator bell dings)

409
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:42,769
Great to see you, Frank.

410
00:16:42,802 --> 00:16:43,770
Welcome to One PP.

411
00:16:43,803 --> 00:16:45,172
Let's get a few shots. Billy?

412
00:16:45,205 --> 00:16:46,439
Uh, please,
right this way, Governor.

413
00:16:53,746 --> 00:16:56,483
Right this way,
please, Governor.

414
00:16:56,516 --> 00:16:58,485
Please, have a seat.

415
00:16:58,518 --> 00:17:00,687
May I get you
some coffee? Water?

416
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,389
No, thanks.

417
00:17:07,327 --> 00:17:09,296
BAKER: I'll make sure the
governor's staff is comfortable

418
00:17:09,329 --> 00:17:10,463
and that
you're not disturbed.

419
00:17:10,497 --> 00:17:11,631
Thank you, Baker.

420
00:17:11,664 --> 00:17:13,400
(door closes)

421
00:17:15,202 --> 00:17:17,537
Thank you for coming up here.

422
00:17:17,570 --> 00:17:20,273
We're alone now,
so you don't need to--

423
00:17:20,307 --> 00:17:21,441
Unless you record

424
00:17:21,474 --> 00:17:23,576
conversations in here.

425
00:17:23,610 --> 00:17:25,078
I don't.

426
00:17:25,112 --> 00:17:28,215
Then we don't need
to waste time faking friendly.

427
00:17:28,248 --> 00:17:29,716
I spoke to the secretary general

428
00:17:29,749 --> 00:17:31,551
about the incident
with his people.

429
00:17:31,584 --> 00:17:33,320
Smoothed things over for you.

430
00:17:33,353 --> 00:17:34,321
For me?

431
00:17:34,354 --> 00:17:35,688
For you and Dutton.

432
00:17:35,722 --> 00:17:38,158
If you don't want
to thank me, fine.

433
00:17:38,191 --> 00:17:40,760
You don't get to be the arsonist
and the firefighter.

434
00:17:40,793 --> 00:17:41,828
What's that mean?

435
00:17:41,861 --> 00:17:43,530
Means you don't get
a big thank you

436
00:17:43,563 --> 00:17:45,232
for cleaning up a mess you made.

437
00:17:45,265 --> 00:17:47,234
I didn't make a mess.

438
00:17:47,267 --> 00:17:49,136
My troopers stopped
six foreigners in a van.

439
00:17:49,169 --> 00:17:50,337
Your cops never did that?

440
00:17:50,370 --> 00:17:52,205
Not a van with
diplomatic plates,

441
00:17:52,239 --> 00:17:54,174
not the way your troopers did.

442
00:17:54,207 --> 00:17:55,642
I also told them
to spread the word

443
00:17:55,675 --> 00:17:58,211
that we want the million dollars
in parking tickets paid up.

444
00:17:58,245 --> 00:18:01,514
So you can thank me for that.

445
00:18:03,516 --> 00:18:08,488
What you're doing, mixing
state troopers in with the NYPD,

446
00:18:08,521 --> 00:18:10,390
without any coordination...

447
00:18:10,423 --> 00:18:11,591
Is my call.

448
00:18:14,161 --> 00:18:17,230
You realize that it's my call
if I want to fire you?

449
00:18:17,264 --> 00:18:21,434
Takes more than a job threat to
scare me off, all due respect.

450
00:18:21,468 --> 00:18:24,437
Surely you'd rather leave here
on your own time

451
00:18:24,471 --> 00:18:27,574
and your own steam,
with all the applause

452
00:18:27,607 --> 00:18:30,243
and bagpipes,
than from a sudden eviction.

453
00:18:30,277 --> 00:18:32,779
Be honest.

454
00:18:32,812 --> 00:18:36,183
Why are you here?

455
00:18:36,216 --> 00:18:40,353
A ceremony opening phase two of
the Second Avenue subway tunnel.

456
00:18:40,387 --> 00:18:43,256
I meant here, in my house.

457
00:18:43,290 --> 00:18:46,493
I want a state presence
in the security configuration

458
00:18:46,526 --> 00:18:48,461
this week, and you're
gonna support that.

459
00:18:48,495 --> 00:18:49,596
Bad idea.

460
00:18:49,629 --> 00:18:51,898
You can't have a successful
political profile these days

461
00:18:51,931 --> 00:18:53,800
without some
hands-on involvement

462
00:18:53,833 --> 00:18:55,868
in anti- and counterterrorism.

463
00:18:55,902 --> 00:18:57,604
Which makes it a good idea.

464
00:18:57,637 --> 00:18:59,206
Not like this.

465
00:18:59,239 --> 00:19:01,241
Just like this.

466
00:19:01,274 --> 00:19:05,512
The governor sensed that an
event publicizing a new tunnel

467
00:19:05,545 --> 00:19:08,548
might call attention
to our most vulnerable targets.

468
00:19:08,581 --> 00:19:10,950
Hence,
increased presence

469
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:13,653
at all tunnels.

470
00:19:16,989 --> 00:19:19,226
And that's all you need to know.

471
00:19:21,261 --> 00:19:24,431
(door opens, closes)

472
00:19:24,464 --> 00:19:26,433
(sighs)

473
00:19:26,466 --> 00:19:27,800
Although you have
not been charged,

474
00:19:27,834 --> 00:19:29,636
you still have the right
to remain silent

475
00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:31,704
or have a lawyer present.

476
00:19:31,738 --> 00:19:33,573
I have nothing to hide.

477
00:19:33,606 --> 00:19:34,974
I didn't do anything wrong.

478
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,709
Put a guy half your size
in the hospital.

479
00:19:36,743 --> 00:19:37,977
I was defending myself.

480
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:40,913
You claim that
Kenneth Tripp struck you?

481
00:19:40,947 --> 00:19:42,715
That's right.
Do you have any bruising

482
00:19:42,749 --> 00:19:44,317
or defensive wounds?

483
00:19:44,351 --> 00:19:45,852
(chuckles) No.

484
00:19:45,885 --> 00:19:47,787
How many times you hit him?
I don't know.

485
00:19:47,820 --> 00:19:49,456
I'm not used to being attacked.

486
00:19:49,489 --> 00:19:51,724
Mr. Tripp is still unconscious

487
00:19:51,758 --> 00:19:53,860
after receiving
a severe beating.

488
00:19:53,893 --> 00:19:55,862
Well, maybe he should learn
to keep his hands to himself.

489
00:19:55,895 --> 00:19:56,996
With everybody.

490
00:19:57,029 --> 00:20:00,933
So you maintain that Mr. Tripp
posed a threat to you?

491
00:20:00,967 --> 00:20:02,969
He poses a threat
to everyone in the building,

492
00:20:03,002 --> 00:20:04,604
especially our kids.

493
00:20:04,637 --> 00:20:05,872
Okay, but that kind of threat

494
00:20:05,905 --> 00:20:07,874
does not give you the right
to assault him.

495
00:20:10,910 --> 00:20:12,612
You guys have kids?

496
00:20:12,645 --> 00:20:15,448
I have a daughter.

497
00:20:15,482 --> 00:20:16,683
Two boys and a girl.

498
00:20:16,716 --> 00:20:17,817
Okay.

499
00:20:17,850 --> 00:20:20,253
So put yourself in our place.

500
00:20:20,287 --> 00:20:22,422
This guy's a predator. Right?

501
00:20:22,455 --> 00:20:23,623
You can't watch

502
00:20:23,656 --> 00:20:25,258
your kids 24/7.

503
00:20:25,292 --> 00:20:26,559
What would you do?

504
00:20:28,328 --> 00:20:30,830
I would not resort
to vigilante violence.

505
00:20:30,863 --> 00:20:34,334
Look, you have my statement.

506
00:20:34,367 --> 00:20:36,669
I protected myself
and my family.

507
00:20:36,703 --> 00:20:38,471
And I'd do it again.

508
00:20:45,812 --> 00:20:47,714
What do we got?

509
00:20:47,747 --> 00:20:49,982
17-year-old male.
Apparent O.D.

510
00:20:50,016 --> 00:20:51,318
Where is he?

511
00:20:51,351 --> 00:20:52,852
He's right over here.

512
00:21:02,962 --> 00:21:04,030
(sighs)

513
00:21:04,063 --> 00:21:05,465
Nigel Lewis.

514
00:21:08,468 --> 00:21:09,536
Anybody with him?

515
00:21:09,569 --> 00:21:10,703
The girlfriend's over there.

516
00:21:13,606 --> 00:21:15,308
Excuse me.

517
00:21:15,342 --> 00:21:16,476
Detective Reagan.

518
00:21:16,509 --> 00:21:18,010
Special Agent Bell.
Hi.

519
00:21:18,044 --> 00:21:18,978
What's your name?

520
00:21:19,011 --> 00:21:20,580
Eva Gold.

521
00:21:20,613 --> 00:21:21,581
Can you tell us what happened?

522
00:21:21,614 --> 00:21:24,016
It was that jerk Paul.

523
00:21:24,050 --> 00:21:25,585
Who's Paul?

524
00:21:25,618 --> 00:21:26,819
He's a dealer.

525
00:21:26,853 --> 00:21:28,054
He partied with Nigel.

526
00:21:28,087 --> 00:21:31,458
Showed up, like, an
hour ago. (sniffles)

527
00:21:31,491 --> 00:21:33,793
After what happened to Dylan,

528
00:21:33,826 --> 00:21:36,529
I begged Nigel
to stay away from him.

529
00:21:36,563 --> 00:21:37,797
His stuff's too strong.

530
00:21:37,830 --> 00:21:39,532
BELL: Okay. We need
to know everything

531
00:21:39,566 --> 00:21:41,568
about this guy Paul.

532
00:21:54,113 --> 00:21:55,782
It's hard to walk
in those shoes till you got

533
00:21:55,815 --> 00:21:57,049
kids of your own
is all I'm saying.

534
00:21:57,083 --> 00:21:58,685
Seriously?
Yes.

535
00:21:58,718 --> 00:22:01,554
Look, you gamble
that a child molester

536
00:22:01,588 --> 00:22:04,056
moving in next door to you has
been successfully rehabbed,

537
00:22:04,090 --> 00:22:06,726
what you're actually gambling
with is your own kids' safety.

538
00:22:06,759 --> 00:22:09,496
Not all sexual predators
repeat their crimes.

539
00:22:09,529 --> 00:22:10,597
HENRY: No, but
many of them do,

540
00:22:10,630 --> 00:22:12,365
and it's hard
to tell them apart.

541
00:22:12,399 --> 00:22:13,566
So he deserved a beating?

542
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:14,901
For what?
Something he might do?

543
00:22:14,934 --> 00:22:16,002
I didn't say deserved,

544
00:22:16,035 --> 00:22:18,137
but I understand the guy
who gave him the beating.

545
00:22:18,170 --> 00:22:19,706
Man did his time, period.

546
00:22:19,739 --> 00:22:20,673
Oh...
DANNY: Come on, Dad.

547
00:22:20,707 --> 00:22:22,542
You know it's
not that simple.

548
00:22:22,575 --> 00:22:24,143
I do, but if you
selectively toss

549
00:22:24,176 --> 00:22:25,945
the compact of
crime and punishment,

550
00:22:25,978 --> 00:22:27,614
you're in
Lord of the Flies land.

551
00:22:27,647 --> 00:22:29,015
NICKY:
And by your logic,

552
00:22:29,048 --> 00:22:30,917
someone convicted
of that kind of crime

553
00:22:30,950 --> 00:22:32,685
should just be
locked up forever.

554
00:22:32,719 --> 00:22:33,820
Yes, they should.

555
00:22:33,853 --> 00:22:35,488
And if a beatdown
serves as a warning

556
00:22:35,522 --> 00:22:38,391
or a deterrent to some child
molester who beats the system,

557
00:22:38,425 --> 00:22:39,626
well, then so be it.

558
00:22:39,659 --> 00:22:40,693
ERIN:
Slippery slope

559
00:22:40,727 --> 00:22:42,462
is mild with that logic.

560
00:22:42,495 --> 00:22:44,531
More like an avalanche.

561
00:22:44,564 --> 00:22:45,498
Well...

562
00:22:45,532 --> 00:22:46,666
She's right.

563
00:22:46,699 --> 00:22:49,001
On paper, she's right.

564
00:22:49,035 --> 00:22:51,070
Well, that's where the laws
are written, on paper.

565
00:22:51,103 --> 00:22:52,405
Ah...

566
00:22:52,439 --> 00:22:53,973
This guy Tripp
molested a little girl.

567
00:22:54,006 --> 00:22:55,808
Okay, we do not need
to get into details.

568
00:22:55,842 --> 00:22:57,644
NICKY: Come on, Mom.
(Danny chuckles)

569
00:22:57,677 --> 00:22:59,779
So we can defend the man,
but we can't name his crime?

570
00:22:59,812 --> 00:23:01,848
I'm not saying that.
Hmm.

571
00:23:01,881 --> 00:23:03,750
We know about predators.
This isn't new to us.

572
00:23:03,783 --> 00:23:05,452
Yeah, remember
"stranger danger"?

573
00:23:05,485 --> 00:23:08,455
Glad you know about it,
sorry you had to be taught.

574
00:23:08,488 --> 00:23:10,457
Look, when I first met Tripp,
he made my skin crawl,

575
00:23:10,490 --> 00:23:12,659
and it pissed me off
that he was living near kids.

576
00:23:12,692 --> 00:23:14,026
Damn right.

577
00:23:14,060 --> 00:23:15,595
But when I saw him
lying in the street,

578
00:23:15,628 --> 00:23:16,896
beaten to a pulp,
it bothered me.

579
00:23:16,929 --> 00:23:19,466
Because I can't just
look the other way.

580
00:23:19,499 --> 00:23:21,133
Because I'm sworn and paid
to look straight at it,

581
00:23:21,167 --> 00:23:22,502
to see it for what it is.

582
00:23:22,535 --> 00:23:23,169
Come on.

583
00:23:23,202 --> 00:23:24,771
He's right, Danny.

584
00:23:24,804 --> 00:23:26,005
That guy Ruiz was
defending his family

585
00:23:26,038 --> 00:23:27,507
from a predator.

586
00:23:27,540 --> 00:23:28,775
Amen to that.

587
00:23:28,808 --> 00:23:30,543
Well, actually, he wasn't.

588
00:23:30,577 --> 00:23:32,912
Sounds like he just made
a preemptive strike

589
00:23:32,945 --> 00:23:34,180
based on his own fears.

590
00:23:35,548 --> 00:23:36,916
But those are real fears.

591
00:23:36,949 --> 00:23:39,552
Exactly. I mean, let's just
say, when we were kids,

592
00:23:39,586 --> 00:23:41,521
some animal like Tripp
moved in next door.

593
00:23:41,554 --> 00:23:42,622
What would you do?

594
00:23:43,690 --> 00:23:45,191
Everything I could
to protect my kids.

595
00:23:45,224 --> 00:23:46,759
That's right.
Look, I get it.

596
00:23:46,793 --> 00:23:49,061
We are officers of
the law, and as such,

597
00:23:49,095 --> 00:23:51,798
we can't do anything until
an actual crime happens.

598
00:23:51,831 --> 00:23:52,799
That's the law.

599
00:23:52,832 --> 00:23:53,866
Okay, but what if the crime

600
00:23:53,900 --> 00:23:56,035
is going to happen,
and it's to your own child?

601
00:23:56,068 --> 00:23:57,470
Are you just gonna
let it happen?

602
00:23:57,504 --> 00:23:59,672
That's not
a fair question, Danny.

603
00:23:59,706 --> 00:24:01,173
Well, that's the question
Ruiz was facing.

604
00:24:01,207 --> 00:24:02,374
Wait, so given no choice,

605
00:24:02,408 --> 00:24:05,545
would you put the welfare
of your family above the law?

606
00:24:05,578 --> 00:24:07,814
Yes, I would.

607
00:24:07,847 --> 00:24:08,881
Thank you.

608
00:24:08,915 --> 00:24:10,917
But when the dust settled,

609
00:24:10,950 --> 00:24:14,186
I would walk down to the local
precinct and turn myself in.

610
00:24:14,220 --> 00:24:16,823
'Cause nobody's above the law.

611
00:24:16,856 --> 00:24:20,993
And without the law,
nobody's safe.

612
00:24:26,132 --> 00:24:28,100
It was here,
and then it was gone.

613
00:24:28,134 --> 00:24:30,570
You can't keep...
I didn't do anything..

614
00:24:30,603 --> 00:24:31,771
Wait, hold that thought.

615
00:24:31,804 --> 00:24:32,772
See if he saved it.

616
00:24:32,805 --> 00:24:34,273
Hey.

617
00:24:34,306 --> 00:24:36,843
Hey.

618
00:24:36,876 --> 00:24:37,677
Heading out?

619
00:24:37,710 --> 00:24:39,879
Yeah. Got a lead
on the drug dealer.

620
00:24:39,912 --> 00:24:41,548
How's your partner?
Same.

621
00:24:41,581 --> 00:24:43,015
Doc says we just got to wait.

622
00:24:43,049 --> 00:24:45,652
And how you doing with that?

623
00:24:45,685 --> 00:24:47,554
Part of the job.

624
00:24:47,587 --> 00:24:49,121
Yeah, the unbearable part.

625
00:24:49,155 --> 00:24:51,758
Yeah. I should've known there
were drugs in the apartment.

626
00:24:51,791 --> 00:24:53,760
He was an English teacher,
Danny.

627
00:24:53,793 --> 00:24:54,894
Who was obviously off.

628
00:24:54,927 --> 00:24:56,262
Which I should've
recognized quicker,

629
00:24:56,295 --> 00:24:58,297
and I should've had
my partner's back.

630
00:25:02,168 --> 00:25:04,771
Dad...

631
00:25:04,804 --> 00:25:08,074
if bad things keep happening
around the same person,

632
00:25:08,107 --> 00:25:10,610
are they still just accidents?

633
00:25:10,643 --> 00:25:12,812
Don't make this about that.

634
00:25:12,845 --> 00:25:14,614
It's easier said than done.

635
00:25:14,647 --> 00:25:17,283
Shift your weight.

636
00:25:17,316 --> 00:25:19,218
You look for trouble
for a living.

637
00:25:19,251 --> 00:25:21,654
Sometimes trouble's
gonna find you.

638
00:25:21,688 --> 00:25:23,122
More than most, maybe.

639
00:25:23,155 --> 00:25:25,057
Okay.

640
00:25:25,091 --> 00:25:28,027
I'll try to keep more,
what, positive?

641
00:25:29,662 --> 00:25:32,031
You do a lot of good
in this world.

642
00:25:32,064 --> 00:25:34,066
More than most, maybe.

643
00:25:48,948 --> 00:25:50,850
Nigel's girlfriend gave us
the dealer's full name.

644
00:25:50,883 --> 00:25:52,985
Paul Romano. He's lived in
this building for three years.

645
00:25:56,689 --> 00:25:59,125
That's him. That's our guy.
Call it. Call it.

646
00:25:59,158 --> 00:26:00,192
Black jacket, jeans.

647
00:26:00,226 --> 00:26:01,227
Take your positions.
We're moving in.

648
00:26:08,868 --> 00:26:09,702
Paul Romano.

649
00:26:09,736 --> 00:26:11,938
Police.
Got a few questions for you.

650
00:26:11,971 --> 00:26:14,373
Sure.
Kill the engine.

651
00:26:14,406 --> 00:26:15,975
Yeah, no problem.
Come on, turn it off.

652
00:26:18,645 --> 00:26:19,979
You okay, Reagan?!
Yeah.

653
00:26:20,012 --> 00:26:22,081
Team 2, suspect is
heading your way!

654
00:26:26,719 --> 00:26:28,621
(engine revving)

655
00:26:28,655 --> 00:26:30,289
(tires screeching,
siren wailing)

656
00:26:33,192 --> 00:26:34,226
Freeze! Don't move!

657
00:26:34,260 --> 00:26:36,896
Out of the car!

658
00:26:36,929 --> 00:26:38,164
Get out.

659
00:26:38,197 --> 00:26:39,832
Get out of the car!
Turn around!

660
00:26:40,933 --> 00:26:41,968
Put your hands up there.

661
00:26:42,001 --> 00:26:43,102
You got any
weapons on you?

662
00:26:43,135 --> 00:26:45,004
No.
You sure about that?

663
00:26:45,037 --> 00:26:46,005
(handcuffs click)

664
00:26:46,038 --> 00:26:47,373
Oh, what do we got here?

665
00:26:47,406 --> 00:26:49,709
I thought you said you
didn't have any weapons.

666
00:26:50,810 --> 00:26:52,779
That look like
a weapon to you?

667
00:26:52,812 --> 00:26:54,246
I'd say that qualifies.

668
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,416
Let's get this piece of crap
out of here.

669
00:26:57,449 --> 00:27:01,387
Almost an hour I'm on the phone
with Dave Keenan.

670
00:27:01,420 --> 00:27:03,389
We're both singing
the exact same song.

671
00:27:03,422 --> 00:27:04,190
Who's Dave Keenan?

672
00:27:04,223 --> 00:27:06,158
The superintendent
of state police.

673
00:27:06,192 --> 00:27:07,694
He doesn't want his
people down here

674
00:27:07,727 --> 00:27:08,995
any more than I do.

675
00:27:09,028 --> 00:27:10,096
And that counts for nothing?

676
00:27:10,129 --> 00:27:13,265
The governor sent down guys
who work border patrol.

677
00:27:13,299 --> 00:27:14,400
Good cops I'm sure,

678
00:27:14,433 --> 00:27:17,036
but he might as well have
dropped them on the moon.

679
00:27:17,069 --> 00:27:18,671
Maybe we should get
the mayor involved.

680
00:27:18,705 --> 00:27:19,706
Maybe it was a mistake.

681
00:27:19,739 --> 00:27:22,775
That would be compounded
by dragging her in now.

682
00:27:22,809 --> 00:27:25,211
Let me call my guy at the Times,
feed him what the governor's

683
00:27:25,244 --> 00:27:26,713
up to, off the record.
It'll explode.

684
00:27:26,746 --> 00:27:28,280
In my face.

685
00:27:28,314 --> 00:27:31,283
He'll figure out the source
in two seconds.

686
00:27:31,317 --> 00:27:33,452
Don't shoot the messenger.

687
00:27:33,485 --> 00:27:34,420
What now?

688
00:27:34,453 --> 00:27:35,755
Two plainclothes officers

689
00:27:35,788 --> 00:27:37,156
assigned to the Transit Bureau

690
00:27:37,189 --> 00:27:39,992
chasing an armed robbery suspect
through Penn Station.

691
00:27:40,026 --> 00:27:43,295
One of them has her gun and her
shield out when a state trooper

692
00:27:43,329 --> 00:27:45,865
appears out of nowhere
and takes a shot at her.

693
00:27:46,966 --> 00:27:49,368
(sighs) Was she hit?

694
00:27:49,401 --> 00:27:51,838
No. Luckily the trooper
was reckless

695
00:27:51,871 --> 00:27:52,939
and a bad shot.

696
00:27:52,972 --> 00:27:55,074
Was the plainclothes wearing
the color of the day?

697
00:27:55,107 --> 00:27:56,776
Orange, on her shooting hand.

698
00:27:56,809 --> 00:27:57,877
Trooper know
the color of the day?

699
00:27:57,910 --> 00:28:01,347
I'm not sure they even know
we have such a thing.

700
00:28:04,216 --> 00:28:07,453
Says here you're a licensed
physical therapist, Mr. Romano.

701
00:28:07,486 --> 00:28:08,788
That's right.

702
00:28:08,821 --> 00:28:10,056
But you moonlight
as a drug dealer?

703
00:28:10,089 --> 00:28:11,423
Or is it the other way around?

704
00:28:11,457 --> 00:28:13,192
No comment.
How'd you get hooked up

705
00:28:13,225 --> 00:28:15,027
with Nigel Lewis
and Dylan Gardner?

706
00:28:15,061 --> 00:28:16,295
Dylan's dad was
a patient of mine.

707
00:28:16,328 --> 00:28:17,897
He's a smart kid.

708
00:28:17,930 --> 00:28:19,465
A real entrepreneur.

709
00:28:19,498 --> 00:28:21,934
Yeah, he's so smart, he turned
a grown man into a drug dealer.

710
00:28:21,968 --> 00:28:23,903
You have no proof
that I sold anything.

711
00:28:23,936 --> 00:28:25,471
All you have is that bag
you took off me.

712
00:28:25,504 --> 00:28:28,174
BELL:
You had some serious
pharmaceuticals in there.

713
00:28:28,207 --> 00:28:29,475
(scoffs)
I mean,

714
00:28:29,508 --> 00:28:31,477
that's why God created lawyers,
right?

715
00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:35,247
Possession buys me
probation, six months.

716
00:28:35,281 --> 00:28:37,950
Yeah. This guys really
knows his stuff.

717
00:28:37,984 --> 00:28:40,352
Yeah. Except that thing.

718
00:28:40,386 --> 00:28:42,221
Yeah, that thing.

719
00:28:42,254 --> 00:28:44,857
You ever been up
near Buffalo, Paul?

720
00:28:44,891 --> 00:28:46,392
Never had the pleasure.

721
00:28:46,425 --> 00:28:48,928
Cattaraugus County?
Some nice skiing up there.

722
00:28:48,961 --> 00:28:50,396
And why should I care?

723
00:28:50,429 --> 00:28:52,932
Because that's where an opioid
dealer was just sentenced

724
00:28:52,965 --> 00:28:55,367
for negligent homicide
for the first time.

725
00:28:56,903 --> 00:28:58,805
For the O.D. of one
of her very, very

726
00:28:58,838 --> 00:29:00,406
unfortunate customers.

727
00:29:01,908 --> 00:29:03,409
What's that, Paul?

728
00:29:03,442 --> 00:29:06,145
I don't hear you making
any smart-ass comments now.

729
00:29:06,178 --> 00:29:07,947
Well, you're never gonna make
that stick.

730
00:29:07,980 --> 00:29:09,315
As a matter of fact,

731
00:29:09,348 --> 00:29:11,417
I spoke to a state prosecutor
who assured me

732
00:29:11,450 --> 00:29:13,219
she'd make it stick.

733
00:29:13,252 --> 00:29:15,955
You're responsible for two O.D.s
that we know of.

734
00:29:15,988 --> 00:29:18,057
You sold heroin
that was laced with fentanyl,

735
00:29:18,090 --> 00:29:19,125
which you knew to be deadly.

736
00:29:19,158 --> 00:29:21,928
You put a New York City
detective in the hospital.

737
00:29:21,961 --> 00:29:23,529
You're going
to prison, Paul.

738
00:29:23,562 --> 00:29:26,432
But you got a chance to score
points for cooperating.

739
00:29:28,968 --> 00:29:30,903
I'm listening.

740
00:29:30,937 --> 00:29:33,439
The stuff you're selling
is not from some

741
00:29:33,472 --> 00:29:36,275
knock-off pill facility
in Mexico.

742
00:29:36,308 --> 00:29:37,810
BELL:
You're pushing
pharmaceutical-grade opioids.

743
00:29:37,844 --> 00:29:41,313
Top-shelf stuff.
Where'd you get it?

744
00:29:42,414 --> 00:29:43,415
Where'd you get it?

745
00:29:43,449 --> 00:29:45,551
Every day I treat patients

746
00:29:45,584 --> 00:29:47,553
fresh out of the hospital,
right?

747
00:29:47,586 --> 00:29:49,488
Very well-medicated patients.

748
00:29:50,522 --> 00:29:52,358
We're listening.
PAUL:
These patients are prescribed

749
00:29:52,391 --> 00:29:54,293
more pain meds than they could
possibly need,

750
00:29:54,326 --> 00:29:55,962
and there's plenty
of folks out there

751
00:29:55,995 --> 00:29:57,563
who will pay top dollar
for the surplus.

752
00:29:57,596 --> 00:29:59,899
Rich prep school kids like
Nigel Lewis and Dylan Gardner.

753
00:29:59,932 --> 00:30:01,033
PAUL:
Yeah, that's right.

754
00:30:01,067 --> 00:30:02,434
It's called supply and demand.

755
00:30:02,468 --> 00:30:04,403
It's what made this
country great, right?

756
00:30:04,436 --> 00:30:06,438
You know, somehow, I don't think
the Founding Fathers

757
00:30:06,472 --> 00:30:08,474
would be very proud.
Now give us the names

758
00:30:08,507 --> 00:30:10,509
of whoever's
over-prescribing this crap.

759
00:30:28,627 --> 00:30:30,596
We arrested the dealer
who sold the drugs

760
00:30:30,629 --> 00:30:32,498
that poisoned
Detective Baez.

761
00:30:32,531 --> 00:30:33,399
That's great news.

762
00:30:33,432 --> 00:30:36,468
Maybe, but maybe not so great
for you.

763
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:38,470
BELL:
You're one of three
supervising ER physicians

764
00:30:38,504 --> 00:30:39,872
at this hospital, right?

765
00:30:39,906 --> 00:30:41,007
That's right.

766
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,374
The man who sold the drugs
was a PT,

767
00:30:42,408 --> 00:30:43,575
purchased the drugs

768
00:30:43,609 --> 00:30:46,012
from patients
of local hospitals,

769
00:30:46,045 --> 00:30:47,613
including this hospital.

770
00:30:47,646 --> 00:30:50,249
I don't understand.
BELL: Your patients
are selling

771
00:30:50,282 --> 00:30:52,151
their extra pain meds
to drug dealers.

772
00:30:52,184 --> 00:30:53,385
That's unfortunate,

773
00:30:53,419 --> 00:30:54,653
but shouldn't you
take this up with them?

774
00:30:54,686 --> 00:30:55,554
DANNY:
Well, we
wouldn't have

775
00:30:55,587 --> 00:30:57,489
to take it up with them
if docs like you

776
00:30:57,523 --> 00:31:00,426
weren't throwing these drugs
around like candy on Halloween.

777
00:31:03,963 --> 00:31:06,665
We prescribe opioids
to relieve pain.

778
00:31:06,698 --> 00:31:09,936
When used correctly these drugs
are extremely effective.

779
00:31:09,969 --> 00:31:11,938
And extremely addictive.

780
00:31:11,971 --> 00:31:13,039
Well, we provide our patients
with guidelines.

781
00:31:13,072 --> 00:31:14,673
We don't have the resources
to monitor compliance.

782
00:31:14,706 --> 00:31:17,243
By putting so much of this junk
out on the street,

783
00:31:17,276 --> 00:31:19,545
you're no better than the
drug dealers themselves, Doc.

784
00:31:19,578 --> 00:31:22,114
Wh-Why don't you spare me
the lecture?

785
00:31:22,148 --> 00:31:24,951
We're on the front lines,
Detective.

786
00:31:24,984 --> 00:31:27,219
We handle more trauma cases

787
00:31:27,253 --> 00:31:28,687
than any hospital in this city,

788
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,957
with the highest survival rate.

789
00:31:30,990 --> 00:31:33,159
BELL:
You're creating drug addicts.

790
00:31:33,192 --> 00:31:34,393
We're saving lives.

791
00:31:35,427 --> 00:31:38,297
Prescribing pain meds
is a medical decision,

792
00:31:38,330 --> 00:31:39,999
one which the NYPD

793
00:31:40,032 --> 00:31:41,600
is not qualified
to evaluate.

794
00:31:41,633 --> 00:31:43,035
BELL:
Maybe, but I work

795
00:31:43,069 --> 00:31:45,304
for the DEA,
which controls the licensing

796
00:31:45,337 --> 00:31:46,572
of doctors to prescribe

797
00:31:46,605 --> 00:31:47,773
controlled substances.

798
00:31:47,806 --> 00:31:51,543
And as of now this hospital
is under federal investigation.

799
00:31:51,577 --> 00:31:53,545
You really think
that blaming doctors

800
00:31:53,579 --> 00:31:56,448
for the opioid epidemic
is gonna solve the crisis?

801
00:31:56,482 --> 00:32:00,086
No... but it's a start.

802
00:32:08,627 --> 00:32:10,629
(monitor beeps)

803
00:32:13,765 --> 00:32:15,968
(Danny snoring)

804
00:32:21,407 --> 00:32:22,741
Hey.

805
00:32:22,774 --> 00:32:24,243
(grunts)

806
00:32:24,276 --> 00:32:26,578
You want to
keep it down?

807
00:32:29,381 --> 00:32:31,083
(quietly):
Welcome back.

808
00:32:31,117 --> 00:32:32,518
What happened?

809
00:32:32,551 --> 00:32:36,989
You, uh, had
an accidental O.D.

810
00:32:37,023 --> 00:32:39,992
And you scared
the hell out of me.

811
00:32:40,026 --> 00:32:41,360
How long was I out?

812
00:32:41,393 --> 00:32:44,430
Almost a week.

813
00:32:44,463 --> 00:32:46,698
You look like hell.

814
00:32:46,732 --> 00:32:48,434
You been here
every night?

815
00:32:48,467 --> 00:32:49,701
Yeah.

816
00:32:49,735 --> 00:32:51,770
I'm okay.
(sighs)

817
00:32:51,803 --> 00:32:53,372
Go home.

818
00:32:53,405 --> 00:32:55,374
To your boys.

819
00:32:55,407 --> 00:32:58,244
The boys are with my old man.
They're fine.

820
00:32:58,277 --> 00:33:01,347
I'll walk out of here
when you do, okay?

821
00:33:01,380 --> 00:33:03,149
Yeah, okay.

822
00:33:04,816 --> 00:33:06,252
No more snoring.

823
00:33:23,269 --> 00:33:25,337
Sorry to keep you waiting,
Governor,

824
00:33:25,371 --> 00:33:27,606
but I'm afraid
we have a problem.

825
00:33:27,639 --> 00:33:31,610
We are picking up chatter
about potential terror activity

826
00:33:31,643 --> 00:33:34,246
at the Second Avenue Subway
event.

827
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:35,614
How credible is the threat?

828
00:33:35,647 --> 00:33:37,416
We're working on that now.

829
00:33:37,449 --> 00:33:38,484
So what are you gonna do
about it?

830
00:33:38,517 --> 00:33:39,651
Under the circumstances,

831
00:33:39,685 --> 00:33:42,054
it might be wise
to cancel the event.

832
00:33:42,088 --> 00:33:45,324
No. I'm not letting these people
dictate my agenda.

833
00:33:45,357 --> 00:33:47,226
I want everything you've got
on this.

834
00:33:47,259 --> 00:33:49,061
Pardon the interruption...
Oh, sorry.

835
00:33:49,095 --> 00:33:51,363
You know my DCPI Garrett Moore.

836
00:33:51,397 --> 00:33:53,265
Governor.
And Carlton Miller

837
00:33:53,299 --> 00:33:54,433
from the mayor's office.

838
00:33:54,466 --> 00:33:55,601
Guys, where are we on this?

839
00:33:55,634 --> 00:33:57,203
Governor, we need to talk.

840
00:33:57,236 --> 00:33:59,205
Governor, we have a
complicated situation here.

841
00:33:59,238 --> 00:34:00,439
FRANK:
I am pulling

842
00:34:00,472 --> 00:34:02,808
all my officers from the area.

843
00:34:02,841 --> 00:34:04,376
Why the hell would you do that?

844
00:34:04,410 --> 00:34:06,745
You just said
it was a credible threat.

845
00:34:06,778 --> 00:34:09,081
By pulling my officers,
it allows your officers

846
00:34:09,115 --> 00:34:11,450
to handle the threat
on their own,

847
00:34:11,483 --> 00:34:13,585
under your command.

848
00:34:13,619 --> 00:34:15,587
GARRETT:
Without interference

849
00:34:15,621 --> 00:34:17,423
from the NYPD.

850
00:34:19,591 --> 00:34:21,593
I see you.

851
00:34:21,627 --> 00:34:24,463
Good.

852
00:34:24,496 --> 00:34:26,332
It is my job, Governor,

853
00:34:26,365 --> 00:34:28,867
to protect
law enforcement officers,

854
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:30,336
yours and mine.

855
00:34:30,369 --> 00:34:32,371
Without command coordination,

856
00:34:32,404 --> 00:34:34,240
I can't do that.

857
00:34:34,273 --> 00:34:36,642
Fine.

858
00:34:36,675 --> 00:34:39,178
You want to play hardball?

859
00:34:39,211 --> 00:34:41,480
I can't tell you
where to put your people,

860
00:34:41,513 --> 00:34:44,350
but what I can do
is put you out on the street.

861
00:34:44,383 --> 00:34:46,885
You can fire me at your leisure,
but, right now,

862
00:34:46,918 --> 00:34:50,522
we have less than an hour
to come up with a game plan.

863
00:34:50,556 --> 00:34:52,891
What the hell do you want?

864
00:34:52,924 --> 00:34:56,562
That state police apprise
the NYPD

865
00:34:56,595 --> 00:35:00,366
of all future deployments
to this city

866
00:35:00,399 --> 00:35:03,502
and coordinate it
with this office.

867
00:35:03,535 --> 00:35:06,438
While remaining
under my control.

868
00:35:06,472 --> 00:35:07,706
Well...

869
00:35:07,739 --> 00:35:10,142
that's the law.

870
00:35:11,643 --> 00:35:12,611
And the ceremony?

871
00:35:12,644 --> 00:35:15,814
Full-court press
from the best cops in the world.

872
00:35:15,847 --> 00:35:17,883
Ours.

873
00:35:17,916 --> 00:35:19,685
Which the mayor also approves.

874
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,356
Deal.

875
00:35:24,390 --> 00:35:26,558
But this ain't over.

876
00:35:35,767 --> 00:35:38,837
What happens if he finds out
there was no terrorist threat?

877
00:35:38,870 --> 00:35:42,308
Hey, I said "online chatter,"
which there always is.

878
00:35:42,341 --> 00:35:44,943
What threat level
that chatter raises...

879
00:35:44,976 --> 00:35:46,345
A known unknown.

880
00:35:46,378 --> 00:35:47,413
What happens when the mayor

881
00:35:47,446 --> 00:35:49,515
finds out she went toe-to-toe
with the governor?

882
00:35:49,548 --> 00:35:50,716
She'll take the victory.

883
00:35:50,749 --> 00:35:52,584
She had no appetite
for the battle.

884
00:35:52,618 --> 00:35:54,286
Not gonna come up.

885
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:55,821
Why do you say that?
Because we won.

886
00:35:55,854 --> 00:36:00,292
And he has no appetite
for conceding a loss.

887
00:36:00,326 --> 00:36:02,828
This meeting, this whole
conflict never happened.

888
00:36:02,861 --> 00:36:05,697
As of the moment
he walked out that door.

889
00:36:05,731 --> 00:36:06,965
I bet you're right.

890
00:36:06,998 --> 00:36:08,734
Kind of gives me a chill.

891
00:36:09,735 --> 00:36:11,737
Me, too.

892
00:36:15,574 --> 00:36:17,476
(indistinct chatter)

893
00:36:17,509 --> 00:36:18,510
(keys jangle)

894
00:36:20,746 --> 00:36:22,714
(door creaks)

895
00:36:23,749 --> 00:36:25,317
(door shuts)

896
00:36:25,351 --> 00:36:27,453
How you handling
the withdrawals?

897
00:36:27,486 --> 00:36:28,720
Methadone helps.

898
00:36:28,754 --> 00:36:30,389
Definitely felt better.

899
00:36:30,422 --> 00:36:31,923
Well, we nailed the dealer

900
00:36:31,957 --> 00:36:34,693
who supplied you
and Dylan and Nigel.

901
00:36:34,726 --> 00:36:35,927
That's good to hear.

902
00:36:35,961 --> 00:36:38,897
You're not the first person to
get hooked on this junk, Peter.

903
00:36:41,267 --> 00:36:43,769
(sighs) The school
fired me this morning.

904
00:36:45,504 --> 00:36:48,474
I'm sorry to hear that.

905
00:36:48,507 --> 00:36:52,010
Teaching's
all I ever wanted to do.

906
00:36:52,043 --> 00:36:53,479
(scoffs)

907
00:36:53,512 --> 00:36:55,347
It's all I had left.

908
00:36:55,381 --> 00:36:56,648
There's other schools.

909
00:36:56,682 --> 00:36:58,250
None of which
will hire me

910
00:36:58,284 --> 00:37:00,519
with a drug conviction
on my record.

911
00:37:00,552 --> 00:37:02,621
I don't blame 'em.

912
00:37:03,655 --> 00:37:06,292
Speaking of, uh,

913
00:37:06,325 --> 00:37:08,360
I did happen
to have a conversation

914
00:37:08,394 --> 00:37:10,362
with the prosecutor
assigned to your case,

915
00:37:10,396 --> 00:37:14,300
and I may or may not have told
her how helpful you were.

916
00:37:14,333 --> 00:37:17,369
Y-You-you didn't have
to do that.

917
00:37:17,403 --> 00:37:18,570
I know I didn't have to do it.

918
00:37:18,604 --> 00:37:19,838
Now stop feeling sorry
for yourself

919
00:37:19,871 --> 00:37:21,507
and listen for a second.

920
00:37:21,540 --> 00:37:24,310
You complete rehab--

921
00:37:24,343 --> 00:37:27,746
and I mean go in there
and get clean--

922
00:37:27,779 --> 00:37:31,016
she'll be willing to knock
the possession charge down

923
00:37:31,049 --> 00:37:33,385
to a violation,
which means you could walk away

924
00:37:33,419 --> 00:37:36,455
from this whole thing
without a record.

925
00:37:38,457 --> 00:37:39,858
(exhales)

926
00:37:39,891 --> 00:37:41,593
I don't know what to say.

927
00:37:41,627 --> 00:37:43,429
Just say you're gonna get clean.

928
00:37:43,462 --> 00:37:45,864
I will.

929
00:37:45,897 --> 00:37:48,400
Thank you.

930
00:37:48,434 --> 00:37:50,736
Look, you're a good guy, Peter,

931
00:37:50,769 --> 00:37:53,405
but you got a bad problem.

932
00:37:53,439 --> 00:37:55,374
It's time to fix it.

933
00:37:57,876 --> 00:37:59,845
(keys jangle)

934
00:37:59,878 --> 00:38:01,880
(lock clicks)

935
00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:06,418
Hey.

936
00:38:06,452 --> 00:38:08,320
Hey. What are
you doing here?

937
00:38:08,354 --> 00:38:10,322
Uh, I came to check in
on the Kenneth Tripp case.

938
00:38:10,356 --> 00:38:11,390
On your day off?

939
00:38:11,423 --> 00:38:13,024
It's been on my mind.

940
00:38:13,058 --> 00:38:14,926
Well, we're
still investigating,

941
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,863
but I'm not sure we have enough
to prosecute Ruiz.

942
00:38:17,896 --> 00:38:19,865
But Ruiz was the one
leading the charges

943
00:38:19,898 --> 00:38:21,433
against Tripp living
in that building.

944
00:38:21,467 --> 00:38:23,535
Which proves nothing,
as you know.

945
00:38:23,569 --> 00:38:25,837
Well, Ruiz admitted to putting
Tripp in the hospital.

946
00:38:25,871 --> 00:38:27,038
He's claiming self-defense.

947
00:38:27,072 --> 00:38:28,006
Right now,
I don't have enough

948
00:38:28,039 --> 00:38:30,676
to prove guilt beyond
a reasonable doubt.

949
00:38:30,709 --> 00:38:32,444
No jury's gonna buy
self-defense.

950
00:38:32,478 --> 00:38:33,712
Tripp's half his size.

951
00:38:33,745 --> 00:38:35,647
He's also a child molester.

952
00:38:35,681 --> 00:38:36,848
So he deserved what he got?

953
00:38:36,882 --> 00:38:37,916
I didn't say that.

954
00:38:37,949 --> 00:38:39,718
And you know
I don't believe that.

955
00:38:40,786 --> 00:38:44,990
Look, if Tripp testifies,

956
00:38:45,023 --> 00:38:46,992
his record
could come out in court.

957
00:38:47,025 --> 00:38:50,095
And if it does, the jury
will give Ruiz a pass.

958
00:38:50,128 --> 00:38:51,463
You can't say that for sure.

959
00:38:51,497 --> 00:38:52,598
They will see a dad

960
00:38:52,631 --> 00:38:54,833
defending his family
from a predator.

961
00:38:54,866 --> 00:38:57,603
Now, whether or not
his actions were justified,

962
00:38:57,636 --> 00:38:58,970
Ruiz will walk.

963
00:38:59,004 --> 00:39:02,107
Look, Tripp got released
from the hospital
earlier this morning.

964
00:39:02,140 --> 00:39:05,010
I think that we should at least
go and speak with him first.

965
00:39:05,043 --> 00:39:08,780
The least we can do is
hear what he has to say.

966
00:39:14,953 --> 00:39:16,455
How are you feeling?

967
00:39:16,488 --> 00:39:17,989
I'll live.

968
00:39:18,023 --> 00:39:21,026
Which I'm sure will disappoint
some people.

969
00:39:21,059 --> 00:39:26,598
Mr. Ruiz claims that
you initiated the altercation.

970
00:39:26,632 --> 00:39:28,500
We came to hear your side.

971
00:39:28,534 --> 00:39:32,738
Whatever I say
isn't gonna matter.

972
00:39:35,073 --> 00:39:38,844
You're entitled to make
a statement, Mr. Tripp.

973
00:39:38,877 --> 00:39:40,479
I'd like to hear it.

974
00:39:41,780 --> 00:39:44,416
I left the building about...

975
00:39:44,450 --> 00:39:46,685
(exhales)
7:30.

976
00:39:46,718 --> 00:39:49,087
On my way
to my mother's apartment.

977
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,523
Uh, I passed Mr. Ruiz

978
00:39:51,557 --> 00:39:53,659
on the sidewalk.

979
00:39:53,692 --> 00:39:55,627
He made a remark.

980
00:39:57,095 --> 00:39:58,063
What did he say?

981
00:39:58,096 --> 00:40:01,467
Uh, he said, uh...

982
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:05,103
"Child rapists deserve to die."

983
00:40:06,972 --> 00:40:08,540
And what did you do?

984
00:40:08,574 --> 00:40:11,543
I said that, um,

985
00:40:11,577 --> 00:40:14,546
he had a right to hate me

986
00:40:14,580 --> 00:40:17,683
but that I wasn't gonna put up
with his threats.

987
00:40:17,716 --> 00:40:19,184
And did he stop?

988
00:40:19,217 --> 00:40:22,821
He called me an animal.

989
00:40:22,854 --> 00:40:24,956
And then what happened?
The truth.

990
00:40:24,990 --> 00:40:26,958
(quietly):
The truth is...

991
00:40:26,992 --> 00:40:29,127
the truth is...

992
00:40:31,530 --> 00:40:32,998
...I hit him.

993
00:40:34,265 --> 00:40:37,002
Why would you do that?
He could have killed you.

994
00:40:37,035 --> 00:40:39,671
I didn't get that lucky.

995
00:40:39,705 --> 00:40:43,875
Are-are you saying
that you wanted him to hurt you?

996
00:40:45,143 --> 00:40:48,547
(crying):
I...

997
00:40:50,516 --> 00:40:53,719
I don't know.

998
00:40:53,752 --> 00:40:56,121
(sniffles)
I just...

999
00:40:56,154 --> 00:41:00,759
(sniffles) just wanted
to stand up for myself.

1000
00:41:02,561 --> 00:41:03,795
You could have come to us.

1001
00:41:03,829 --> 00:41:07,799
Come on, we both... know better.

1002
00:41:07,833 --> 00:41:09,835
I...

1003
00:41:11,136 --> 00:41:13,572
I did my time.

1004
00:41:13,605 --> 00:41:15,574
I'm still... guilty.

1005
00:41:15,607 --> 00:41:17,576
I'm still the enemy.

1006
00:41:21,146 --> 00:41:23,048
There's...

1007
00:41:23,081 --> 00:41:26,518
there's no absolution

1008
00:41:26,552 --> 00:41:28,854
for what I did.
