- Previously on East New York...
- You were saying

that disregarding enforcement

of qualify-of-life regulations
was your prerogative.

Do you recognize the need for
good order and discipline, Inspector?

So long as it serves and protects

the people in my precinct,

- Chief Donaldson.
- I have a friend

over at DOJ.

If an investigation into the practices

over at Special Victims
is warranted, there is no one

who I would trust more to conduct it.

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

This is Don Jankowicz.

Union trustee from Brooklyn North.

Inspector, I've heard only good things.

Mr. Azeroff, um,

I don't think I can, uh,
accompany you to Dubai.

- How much will it take?
- I'm not due to get paid.

$10,000 here.

Wishing you hadn't
volunteered to move into the projects?

You live somewhere, you find things out.

This is my nephew Tyson.

Tyson's gonna be staying
with me for a while.

Thora, you know that felons convicted

of violent or drug crimes are not
allowed to live in public housing.

- How's it going, Orlando?
- All good, Officer.

Letting my boy Tyson here know,
now that he's out,

best to focus on
what's important. Right?

What's up with Thora's nephew?

You-you, uh...
you get anywhere with that?

She said that Tyson'll
be gone in three days,

and I'm just gonna take her word for it.

Your call.

Oh, hey, Lorenzo.

- Is this your daughter?
- Yeah.

- Say hi, Ingrid.
- Hi.

UMOS

at 7-4 precinct at Ruskin Gardens!

Multiple shots fired.
Numerous people down.

Oh, my God. That's Orlando Highgate.

Where's Tyson?

Where's Tyson?!

All right, so let me make sure
I have this right.

Two DOAs... One male, Black.

Uh, name?

Orlando Highgate's
what's on his driver's license.

And it looked like the entry
wound was in the throat.

What about the second DOA?

Uh, female, Black.

No driver's license.

But "Chantal Lowenger" is
the name on her library card.

We also have two wounded.
Both in stable condition.

We'll coordinate official IDs

of the bodies sometime later today.

Um, I want to show
you where the little girl was shot

over here, okay?

What do we got? Thanks.

I saw Orlando Highgate
have an altercation

with this kid, Tyson Fox, the other day.

From what I could tell,
it involved some debt

- that Fox owed.
- Who's Tyson Fox?

He's the nephew of a
woman who lives here.

Um, a woman who I've
gotten friendly with.

The nephew lives here?

- Not exactly...
- Officer,

what do you mean by "not exactly"?

He's been staying with his aunt.

He just got paroled.

He spent three and a
half years in Otisville

for dealing narcotics. When I found out,

I told her that it was against
Housing Authority regulations.

I'm assuming he moved out
once you told her that.

She asked if he could stay
until he got another place,

and I gave her three days.

You understand you had
no authority to do that.

Yeah, I understand.

When I made arrangements
with the Housing Authority

for members of the service
to live here, I assured them

we'd abide by the rules.

She promised me he was moving...

Yeah, okay, Officer.

Why don't you go back to doing
whatever it is

you're supposed to be doing?

Sorry, boss.

Oh, man.

- This is bad.
- I encouraged her

and Bentley to cultivate ties
with the residents.

It's possible that she lacked
the experience

to know what to do
with that encouragement.

If that's the case, I may have
provided insufficient supervision.

Yeah. You may have.

- You all right?
- Yeah.

You tell 'em about Thora's nephew?

You can sometimes get away

with leaving out a few details.

Donaldson wants to be
commissioner so bad he can taste it.

He's gonna use all this.

We don't know for sure that the
guy who's on parole's the shooter.

He's gonna make your officer wrong

for going against regulations.
He's gonna make

you wrong for putting cops
in housing projects.

He's gonna make me wrong
for letting you.

Cops make judgment calls

- all day long.
- Yeah.

But when they lead to a double homicide,

that judgment generally gets
called into question.

Bentley.

I mean, you know as
well as I do... Appearances count.

For everything.

Uh, if it just appears that-that a cop

who has moved into public
housing is responsible in any way

for some kind of escalation in violence,

it doesn't matter
whether or not it's true.

If it is true, I imagine that's
the end of all of our careers.

Yeah, well,
there's a good chance of that.

Even if it isn't.

Listen up. I want you

to focus your attention
on the shooting last night

at Ruskin Gardens.

Because Ruskin Gardens serves

as a proving ground
for some of the changes

I'm trying to implement here at the 7-4,

we can expect to be judged
by what happens there

and how we respond to it.

And that's by whomever's
running for mayor,

whomever's bucking
for police commissioner,

the New York Post,
the public at large, all right?

Anything from the squad
as far as a suspect?

Yeah, we have a few possible leads.

One person of interest is this guy.

Name's Tyson Fox.

He's been seen around Ruskin Gardens

since his release from prison.

Should have been a photograph
sent to your phones.

I want you to check and
make sure that you got it now.

If you have contacts in the community,

find out what they know,
what they're willing to say.

And remind them that
there's a tip hotline

for people to receive money anonymously.

Because that's gonna be very
important in a situation like this.

I want you all to be safe out there.

Fall out.

Where were you standing

when the shooting started, Duane?

I was at the benches
near the basketball courts.

You didn't see anyone get out
of a car, ride up on a moped?

Listen, listen, I'm walking
through the courtyard,

minding my business.

I hear some gunshots, so I duck down.

And I get hit anyway. And my boy...

My boy Orlando was killed.

You think you can
identify who killed him?

Yeah, most definitely.

I'm gonna show you some
photographs, Duane.

If you recognize the
shooter, point him out.

Uh-uh.

Ruskin was getting to be
a decent place to live.

Now, I know it happened fast.

I know it was dark.
Are you sure, Ingrid?

Sorry.

I don't recognize any of them.

Okay.

That's him right there.

Tyson Fox.

Yeah, that's him.

You sure?

Sure enough that if you don't
get him, I'm-a get him myself.

Good to know.

Yeah.

When's the last time you saw
Tyson Fox, Ms. Whitfield?

Yesterday morning.

Are you aware of any disputes
he's had since he got out of prison?

No, I think he's been trying
to stay away

from anyone he's had any disputes with.

You believe her?

Till we have the shooter in
handcuffs, I don't believe anybody.

He put that life behind him.

You knew the Housing Authority
didn't allow parolees

to be staying in the projects,
but you let him stay there anyway.

I got to wonder whether you

yourself were involved
in anything illegal.

I'm not involved in nothin'.

This is Detective Killian.
He's got some questions

- he's gonna ask you.
- What is there

that you haven't already asked me?

Well, you never know.

- You, uh, keep me apprised?
- Yeah.

Tell me, when was the last time you saw

Tyson Fox, Ms. Whitfield?

Detective.

_

_

Hey, look, I know you're busy, but, uh,

you remember I mentioned
my guy from DOJ?

- He's been calling me.
- Oh, yeah?

His name is Armand DeSanto.

He's up from Washington for the day.

Now, I had told him

that you'd put in some time
over at Special Victims

and you could shed some light
as to how they run their operations.

Whatever you want me to do, Chief.

I'm gonna have him call you.

Chief Donaldson.

Do you know the inspector?

He's with the Chief
of Department's Office.

Milt Rojas.

I'm guessing you're here for an update

on the shooting in Ruskin Gardens.

I'm pretty much up-to-date on
that from talking with Chief Suarez.

What I want to say to you,
I want to say to you directly.

We have two dead, a child wounded,

all because one
of your officers failed to act.

It remains to be seen
whether that was the case.

Let me make this simple.

That officer is gone
from that housing project.

Can we not wait until all the
facts on the shooting are in?

The facts of the shooting
make no difference to me,

Deputy Inspector. This
whole misadventure of yours...

From having cops living
in public housing

to standing down from enforcing
quality-of-life crimes...

Violations, Chief.

And I'm not gonna assign a high priority

to penny-ante violations. I don't fail

to enforce the law as to crimes.

They're all crimes, and you
don't get to make that call.

The limits of your
authority were laid out

pretty clearly when you
made deputy inspector.

Is that all, Chief? I'd...

like to have my office back.

Mm.

The thing you seem not to understand

is that this office is not your office

any more than my office is my office.

This room and everything in it

belongs to the New York City
Police Department.

It's being designated
for your use while you occupy

the position of precinct commander.

When you cease to occupy that position

or the rank of deputy inspector,

this room will no longer be yours.

Nice to meet you.

Step in.

What is this place?

It's an office.

What kind of office?

It's a government office.

Thanks. That's helpful.

I'm Agent DeSanto, Detective.

Appreciate you making time. Coffee?

- Uh, sure.
- How do you take it?

Black's good.

Chief Suarez said you're interested

in what I have to say.

Can I have the room, please?

I definitely am interested.

Well...

When rape victims felt like
they weren't being listened to

or taken care of,

the standard excuse was
the size of our caseload.

Detective...

Same as when I would
complain about the lack of follow-up.

It was called the
Special Victims Division.

Supposedly, the whole point was

to treat special victims special.

Detective, I'm not here to
talk about Special Victims.

- You're not?
- I'm here to talk about Tommy Killian.

What do you want to talk about him for?

We believe he's begun
working for a Robert Azeroff.

I don't know anything about that.

Azeroff has been on our radar
for some time now.

We believe that he may be
violating sanctions

imposed on certain Russian individuals.

I doubt Detective Killian
knows anything about that.

Azeroff has been to Venezuela
three times in the past year.

Do you know if Detective Killian
has ever accompanied him?

Why don't you just check
his passport records?

You know, it's entirely possible
that Azeroff has thus far

not asked anything of Killian

that is inappropriate or illegal.

You just don't think that's likely.

No.

What I know about Killian

is that he is a hardworking detective

and I have never known him
to do anything

inappropriate or illegal.

If that's the case, let's
hope it remains the case.

But if he crosses the line, we
want to be in a position to intervene.

I'm guessing...

you don't want me to make him
aware of this conversation.

I think your superiors
in the police department

would consider that
a significant breach of duty.

The coffee's on us.

I'd rather not owe you.

I got a message

you wanted to talk to me
and I was in the area,

so I thought I'd stop by.

Chief Donaldson let me know

that, uh, he paid you a visit.

Took over my office, is what he did.

Him and Rojas who never
acknowledges knowing me

even though we've met a dozen times.

Well, this is about Donaldson
trying to box me out of

contention for P.C... I told you that.

He's interfering with
the way I run my precinct.

- How is he doing that?
- Directing me to pull a cop

out of Ruskin Gardens,

step up enforcement of
quality-of-life violations...

You know, somebody ought to
set him straight

as to what the appropriate
lines of authority are.

- Nobody will.
- Why not?

Because he's a three-star
chief with enough authority

to make cops' lives heaven or hell.

What do you want me to do, Chief?

Pull the cop out of Ruskin Gardens.

Step up enforcement on
quality-of-life violations.

You might think about
reaching out to the unions,

and if word were to come down

to abandon the program of placing cops

in housing projects altogether,

for right now, keep your mouth shut.

Would you be advocating all this
if you weren't trying to get

the commissioner job?

Oh, Regina, why would
you ask me that question?

Because I'm caught in
a collision of ambitious men

and I'm sick of it.

You're talking about Chief Donaldson,

Deputy Mayor Sharpe, me?

All of you!

Determining the merit of an idea
based on how many gold stars are

on the shoulder of who proposed it.

Comes in really handy not to be
an ambitious man, doesn't it?

If you don't mind having other people

take the credit for the wins,

- and lay blame for the losses...
- Every cop on the job

- has a boss who swoops in...
- If you don't mind having

- people talk behind your back...
- ...and takes credit.

...who view you as a liability...

Nobody who talks to me about you...

- ...or an embarrassment,
- ...goes away without knowing...

If you don't actually believe

- ...exactly where I stand.
- ...that you have an obligation

to change the way this job is done,

then damn right,
it comes in pretty handy

not being an ambitious man.

I feel that obligation
every bit as much as you do!

I just don't drape myself in
high moral purpose.

The only thing I drape
myself in is my uniform.

Well, that makes two of us.

- Who is it?
- It's your mother.

- And Duke.
- Hey.

Hey.

- Packing?
- Yeah.

- Does that mean you're moving?
- Uh-huh.

Thank God, you finally
came to your senses.

- They're making me move, Ma.
- Maybe they came to their senses.

Well, you really shouldn't
be living here.

No, I'm-I'm living here
for a reason, okay?

It is a different approach to policing.

It is a different way of being a cop.

Okay, okay, well,
that's all well and good,

but you still want to come home
to a safe neighborhood, no?

- Maybe a backyard.
- Okay, look,

all I'm gonna do is I'm gonna call a

car, go to my friend Simone's house

- and I'm gonna sleep on her couch.
- Well, you know,

there's a spare bedroom
where I'm staying.

It's okay, right? Right?

Oh, absolutely. And my
car is just downstairs, hopefully.

Aw, look at this.

This is from that summer
when we took that place

down at the Jersey Shore.

Remember?

Yeah, I remember.

Mm. Come on, Brandy.

Come on, come stay with me.

I don't, I don't know, Ma.

I just don't...
I don't know what I'm doing.

All right, come on.
This box ready to go?

Yeah.

You grab that box,
I got the, uh, luggage.

- Okay.
- Oh, my God, do you have rocks in here?

Come on.

Sir, I appreciate your diligence.

And that you didn't steal
the catalytic converter.

There we go.

Brandy, let me holler at you
for a minute.

Uh, yeah. Yeah. Um...

Ma, I'm just gonna go talk
to these folks real quick.

- I'll just see you at the apartment.
- Uh, should we wait for you?

No.

See you for dinner?

Mrs. Alberta says she may
have seen somebody run into

the building right after
the shooting last night.

She ain't sure about what she's seen.

Are you worried, Latasha?

I'd be a fool not to be worried.

You were worried
about your friend Ray-Ray

finding out that you cooperated with us.

Then we put him behind bars
and you don't have to worry

about him anymore.

We want to do the same
to whoever shot up

this courtyard last night.

I don't know who did the shooting,

but I do know where the gun might be.

Alberta, I don't think
you should be saying it.

I saw a boy run past the laundry room

when I was down there with
Latasha folding clothes.

There's a janitor's closet
right next to the laundry room.

That's where some
of these boys hide their gun

when they don't want to
get caught with it.

They put their own lock on the door,

and so the janitor knows
not to mess with them.

- Who has access to it?
- Whoever puts money in.

That's what they call a community gun.

- Thank you, Mrs. Alberta.
- You're welcome.

Have a nice day, Latasha.

You know, I'm pretty impressed
that you actually have tools.

Yeah, whose tools do you think they are?

- Marvin keeps them in the trunk.
- Yeah.

Every now and then I like to
make myself useful.

Oh.

- Community gun.
- It's a nine millimeter.

Just like the casings they found.

- Thank you for coming in.
- Thank you.

Tyson Fox
was making a good-faith effort,

- but there were still infractions.
- Like what?

Well, he didn't have a full-time job

that I'd signed off on,
or a place to live.

How's that for starters?

And as conditions for his parole

- he had to have both, is that right?
- That's right.

But when I fill out the report
stating that he has

no full-time job and no address,

I give it to my supervisor,
he sits on it.

I'm assuming somewhere there's
a list of previous addresses.

Yeah.

- What?
- Did I say anything?

Thora Whitfield.
I believe that's his aunt.

Yeah, we know about her.

Earl Flowers... No... scratch that.

I wrote down that he's deceased.

That's why my handwritten notes
are so invaluable.

Is it possible you have any of
your handwritten notes

that might tell us
where we can find him?

Well, I don't know if this is of use,

but he put down a woman he says
he works for sometimes.

Here's her address.

Hit this address... Hit it right away.

- You want to join them?
- Yeah.

Go ahead.

Who is it?

New York State Parole. Open up.

Out of the way.

- Police! Contact! Hands, hands!
- Why are you doing this?

You Lorraine Watson?

Yeah, I'm Lorraine Watson. What
are you doing breaking down my door?

We're looking for Tyson Fox.
You know where he is?

She knows where he is.

Yo, yo, let her be, let her be.

Tyson Fox?

Yeah.

All right, get on the wall. Over there.

- You have any weapons on you?
- No.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Thanks, Phil.

What do we do about her?

What you could do is give her

an administrative job in the borough.

- She'd put in her papers.
- What's wrong with that?

She hasn't done
anything to warrant it...

That's what's wrong with that.

She put cops in public housing
who buddied up to

residents, resulting in
a double homicide.

The fact is, you
could bust her down to captain,

and there'd be nothing
she could do about it.

She doesn't deserve
to be busted down to captain.

All right, then promote her.

- All right, yes, bingo.
- Wait...

Come on, guys.

She's a deputy inspector now,
you make her an inspector...

You put her in a place where
there's not as high visibility.

And when she recognizes it
for what it is,

what do, what do I give her as a reason?

That her tone was
insufficiently diplomatic?

How about she actively
interfered in a homicide

- investigation involving her father?
- That's one I wasn't aware of.

Or how about she was in
a sexual relationship

with an undercover DEA agent?

- That's two I wasn't aware of.
- You've been surveilling her?

That's what we do when somebody
squares off against us.

Look.

You do it for the reasons Don said,

you do it for the reason
of this double homicide,

you do it for no reason.

Just get rid of her.

Mm.

You're acknowledging that
you've been read your rights

and have agreed to be questioned
without an attorney present,

- is that right?
- Yes.

Where were you last night, Ty?

I was looking for a place to live.

How were you doing that?

Checking Craigslist,
filling out an application

for Section 8.

My aunt said I couldn't stay
with her anymore

and my parole officer said I
needed a permanent address, so...

What kind of beef did you have
with Orlando Highgate?

I owed him $3,500 for
the cocaine he fronted me

before I went to prison.

- We know he threatened you.
- Mm-hmm.

I've had people threaten me many times.

Well, a lot of people heard him do it.

You had to respond to that, no?

One element of my spiritual practice

taught to me while I was in prison

is to avoid being consumed by
what other people think of me.

It's not just what other people think.

We have a witness who says he saw you

shoot Orlando Highgate and
Orlando Highgate's girlfriend.

"Allah loves not the deceiver."

Whether I'm sent back to prison
or not is up to Him.

- You believe him?
- I do. But a jury won't.

They'll hear an eyewitness
say Tyson Fox did it.

They'll look at him, they'll see
a convicted felon with a motive

represented, more than likely,
by an overworked attorney.

And all anyone wants from us
is an arrest.

Squad says that they
have a ballistic match

on the gun used in last night's shooting

and the one that we recovered
from the janitor's closet.

- Prints?
- None usable, but they dumped

the security camera nearest
the janitor's closet,

and close to the time of the shooting,

this guy ran toward
the janitor's closet.

All right, take that to

Ruskin Gardens, see if
anybody recognizes this guy.

- Okay. Yeah.
- And, Quinlan...

I don't know if
you're gonna survive this.

There are people in the department

who are gunning for you just
like they're gunning for me.

Do not make it easy for them.

He the one who did the shooting?

- Do you know him?
- Is he the...?!

Is he the one who did the shooting?

Lorenzo, if you know the man,
we want to talk to him.

I'll talk to him myself.

Now, see, that's a bad idea.

You go talking to the man,
you're liable to get into it

with him, and then we're
gonna have to lock you up.

He shot my little girl, man.

Just 'cause she happened
to be staying with me

that night, she got shot.

We have to go now, Daddy.

- How are you feeling, Ingrid?
- Okay.

Believe it or not, I got
shot a while back. It hurts.

We got to go, baby.
Let me take this here.

Thanks.

His name is Latrell Bascomb.

Hangs out with them other dope fiends

at the Golden Oval Motel.

Thanks.

- Team One, move forward! NYPD.
- Contact. Hands, hands!

- Cover him.
- Hands on the wall. Hands on the wall.

- Move, move.
- Step down, cover him.

Hands behind your back.

- Latrell Bascomb?
- Yeah?

We got some questions for you, Latrell.

Hey, what's up with you?

- Nothing.
- Yeah, you seem moody.

This a conversation we need
to be having right now?

- All yours.
- Hey, did I do something?

Hey, Winston. Lettuce doesn't
like when the weather gets warm.

Thora called me at midnight last night

to tell me that very same thing.

Yeah, how come she's not down here?

Went to stay with a friend in Philly.

- The stress got to her.
- I bet.

- I heard you were moving out.
- Yeah, I was directed to.

Ooh. Why's that?

'Cause I let Tyson Fox stay here
when he wasn't allowed to.

They suspect that he did the shooting.

That shooting ain't have
nothing to do with Tyson.

Who'd it have something to do with?

What were you doing in the basement

at Ruskin Gardens, Latrell?

Man, I wasn't in the basement.

You were on camera, Latrell.

You were in the basement
last night at 8:29 p.m.

Which is where we found the gun
that did all those shootings.

Which means, as of now,
you've moved into the pole position

as a suspect in a double homicide.

Mm.

When you and that other cop moved in,

Orlando didn't do business here no more.

He had the Gowanus Houses
and the Pink Houses,

but he was also taking a piece of

Farragut and Kingsborough on the side.

His number two Duane Troupe found out.

Hated that.

I mean, really hated it.

What were you doing there?

Going to get a mop, Latrell?

Duane told me to get rid of the gun.

Yeah. Why would he do that?

'Cause he's who shot up the courtyard.

Why would he do that?

He felt like Orlando's cut was too big.

And when he brought it up, he
felt like Orlando disrespected him.

Okay, so how did it happen

that Duane was shot with the same gun?

He handed me the gun and he
told me to shoot him in the arm.

He said he wanted to make it look like

he was a vic when the cops got there.

I had him at the hospital.

Where's Duane now, Latrell?

Apartment's 4-Boy.

Window's facing to the other side.

And there's an elderly woman
that's next door in 4-Charlie.

- ESU's cleared the floors.
- Elevator's shut down?

- Affirmative.
- Roof?

We got two snipers up.
Aviation standing by.

Sandeford, Bentley,
cover the rear staircase.

- We're good.
- Let's go.

Gun, gun, gun!

10-13. Officer down.

Ruskin Gardens South Tower.

Perp fled to the fourth floor stairwell.

Covering.

I got you, Donny.

I got you.

Police! Don't move!

Central.

Perp shot, south side, fourth floor.

7-4 CO. Be right there.

Come in, Deputy Inspector.

What do you have for us,
Deputy Inspector?

A Duane Troupe...

Believed responsible for
the double homicide last night...

Engaged with my officers, is deceased.

A Latrell Bascomb, believed
to have been in concert

with Mr. Troupe, has been arrested.

Neither individual was afforded
any particular leniency

by the officers living
at Ruskin Gardens.

Duly noted.

Good work on the part of
the 7-4 Squad detectives,

good work on the part of 18-Truck ESU.

New York's Finest
coming through as always.

So, if I manage to get myself
elected mayor, Deputy Inspector,

where do you think
you'll do the most good?

Right where I am, sir.

Ah. You know, I've always said

I thought your greatest strength
was administrative.

I'm thinking you could
take on any number of

top-down performance reviews,

maybe some partial reorganization

- once you get a lay of the land.
- Potentially having

a lot more impact than anything
you're doing at one precinct.

I've just gotten started
at that one precinct.

Putting me in an administrative position

doesn't really build
on what I've accomplished.

Unfortunately, one of the things
that you've accomplished is

to sow discord among the rank and file.

You're a divisive figure,
Deputy Inspector.

Now, I realize that you wear
that as a badge of honor,

but in the executive ranks
of the department

it doesn't translate
into effective leadership.

And regardless of where you wind up,

it will come up with
a sweetening of rank.

Be nice to drop the "Deputy"
in front of "Inspector,"

- wouldn't it?
- That is a fitting resolution to this

according to you, isn't it, Inspector?

A serious attempt at changing

the public perception of who we are

and what we do scrapped, we
all go back to business as usual,

and because I get to put eagles

instead of oak leaves on my epaulettes,

I can quietly take my place
among the disenchanted...

and the indifferent.

Believe it or not, Deputy Inspector,

the department doesn't base its policies

on providing you with a sense
of personal gratification.

Chief Donaldson,
you seem to take delight

in going after me personally.

Is it my imagination, or am I
in the way of some personal

gratification on your part?

You're out of line, Deputy Inspector.

If you can't be trusted to observe

the most basic protocols of rank,

the most appropriate action
for the department to take

might be to strip you of your command

while we figure out what to do with you.

Uh, excuse me.

I would like Chief Suarez
to weigh in on that point.

Chief, you've had the greatest amount of

day-to-day contact with
the deputy inspector.

What do you think the most
appropriate action should be?

She should continue doing
what she's doing.

Let her stay where she is.

Is there something going on between

the two of you that I should know about?

- Chief Padaro.
- Chief.

- Chief.
- Wasn't expecting

the chief of the department
to favor us with his presence.

I just stopped off at the hospital.

Looks like we got lucky this time.

Our ESU officer is going to be okay.

It was suggested that I take a
look at the situation in the 7-4.

From what I've been able
to piece together,

the shooting at Ruskin Gardens

had nothing to do with Deputy
Inspector Haywood's initiative

- to have cops living there.
- If you don't mind my saying so, Chief,

it's still creating a heightened risk

for our officers while doing
nothing to bring down violent crime.

Actually, year-to-date stats
for Brooklyn North

came in and show the
decline in violent crime

in the 7-4 precinct make
the whole borough look good.

What that tells me is that whatever

Deputy Inspector Haywood's
doing is working.

That square with your
evaluation, Chief Suarez?

Yes, it does.

We keep going with
the programs she's initiated?

With your blessing,
I'd like to have the other

nine precincts under my
command to adopt her programs.

You available to work with the
other precincts, Deputy Inspector?

I'll make myself available.

I'll want to see something
on paper laying out

an implementation plan by
week's end... that doable?

- Yes, sir.
- Thank you, Deputy Inspector.

Thank you, Chief.

Something tells me if it was you moving,

there'd be a lot more clothes.

Probably a lot less polar fleece.

Hey, so, um... change of plans.

They actually want me to stay here.

Who does?

My commanding officer.

What changed?

Well, it turns out
that the shooter wasn't

who they thought it was,
and I had absolutely

nothing to do with him being here.

And I'm the one that
found the murder weapon.

So, as a reward, you got to stay?

Yeah, Ma, as crazy as that seems.

- Is this a career move?
- I don't know.

Well, if it's a career move,
I completely understand.

I'm afraid for her.
Does anybody understand that?

Ann-Marie, come on. It's to be expected.

You're her mother.

I'm sure she has a radio.
You got a police radio, right?

- I-I do.
- But I'm sure the precinct

is gonna keep an eye out for her.

I don't know how
you sleep at night here.

Honestly, Ma, sometimes
I have a hard time.

But why put yourself through it?

Because...

Ma, there was... there was a guy
that committed two murders,

shot a young girl,

and put all kinds of people
at risk, and I...

I had something to do
with putting him away

and getting him off the streets.

Please, I would just like you

to just please be...

a little proud of me for that.

Okay, baby.

Thank you.

Be careful.

I'm always careful.

What do we think of this one?

Okay.

Vetiver Extraordinaire.

Azeroff give it to you?

Nah, one of his girlfriends did.

She said as long as I'm wearing cologne,

she prefers this to Old Spice.

Huh? Not bad. I feel... feel fancy.

Come here.

Yeah.

- You got to stop.
- What?

- Changing my cologne?
- They're watching you.

- Who's watching me?
- The Feds.

They have been watching
Azeroff related to

whatever deal he's got
going with some Russians,

and now they're watching you.

I don't know
anything about any Russians.

I mean, what-what are you talking about?

All I know is that DOJ
has been trying to

build a case against him.

Is that really all you know?

You think I'm holding something back?

When'd you find out
they were watching me?

This morning.

I don't think I would've waited all day.

You're right. I should've
told you first thing.

They said I'd be fired if I did,

so I guess I hesitated.

Regina?

Hey.

Uh, how's that
implementation plan coming?

Oh, I'm giving myself to
tomorrow to start in on it.

I wish I could've spared you

- what you had to take off Donaldson.
- That's all right.

If Sharpe gets you
police commissioner, maybe...

you can assign him
somewhere in Staten Island

or something.

Glad to find you both in the same place.

Saves me a trip.

Something you got to say to us, Raymond?

I'm guessing you know what it is.

- I got a pretty rough idea.
- You took yourself out of

the running for police
commissioner, John.

I know I did.

- You did it to yourself.
- I guess at the end of the day

unswerving loyalty is
the only thing that matters.

Look, it's not the only thing,

but it's the thing that makes
all the other things possible.

And as for you,
Deputy Inspector Haywood,

you've got a four-star chief
and a borough commander

closing ranks behind you.

I get elected and clean house,
that won't be the case.

Warren Donaldson's gonna be
your police commissioner?

First day I'm in office.

I'm sorry.

Oh, I've made my peace with it.

You and me, we're gonna keep on
doing what we've been doing.

Hey, as long as they let us.

- Where you headed?
- Home.

- Yeah.
- Stop and have a drink.

I'm wiped out, you know.

One drink.

- Uno.
- Okay, okay.

What's up, Tommy?

Mr. Azeroff.

Hey.

- Hey, you met my friend Ginger, right?
- Hi.

Hey, you all clear for takeoff?

Um, where to?

Palm Beach.

Welcome.

Hey, guys, come on in.

Sergei, Evgeny,
I want you to meet my friend

Thomas Killian.

Hey. Hey, how you doing?

_

_

_

_

_

I'm with Bobby.

Well, I can dream, can't I?

This guy.

This guy, huh?

Who's thirsty? Drinks? Let's go.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. After you.

Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, Goody.

- What are we drinking?
- Mm,

cabernet of some kind?

Two cabernets.

Marvin.

Chief.

White wine, please.

What's up?

- How's little man?
- Good.

He still talks about you pulling
up to his school in your cruiser.

God bless him. Mm.

Hey, where's your sidekick?

I don't know where he is.

Inspector.

Oh, hey, Stan.

You meet with Armand, my Justice guy?

- I did.
- You know

he was signed with
the Yankees at one point?

Oh, that right?

Yeah, he tore his rotator cuff
in Triple-A.

- Se acabó. That was that.
- Wow.

Too bad.

You know, uh, you don't
have to report back

what you talked to him about.

No, I know.

I'm glad you met with him.

Thanks.

Ah.

It's the borough.

Hey. Suarez.

You don't invite me to your wedding?

Hey, man, I didn't invite
anybody to the wedding.

It was totally unpremeditated.

- You happy?
- I'm happier than I ever been.

That's all that matters, baby.
That's all that matters.

All right.

Gonna buy me a drink? A wedding drink?

One. Give me one...

Just all those ESU guys,
and it was a rookie

- who ended it.
- How about that?

Yeah.

You feel all right about it, though?

Him or me.

Well, I'm glad it was him.

What are you doing later?

I don't know. Ask me later.

You want me to ask you later?

Hey.

How come you didn't pick up your phone?

I don't know, Tommy. I must've
been busy with my own life.

You know...

Richie Rich wanted me to go
to Palm Beach with him.

What stopped you?

I don't like getting on a
plane when you're mad at me.

Hey.

Put some tables together.
Get everybody drinking.

Let's do it, let's do it. Come on.

Come on, we got to
sit next to each other.

You, too.

Put 'em on, like, something fancy.

Hey, Killian,

Morales, bring your drinks.

Come on, let's go be friendly.

- Inspector, come join us.
- Oh, that's all right.

Come on, we got lots of room.
Come on, lots of room. Come on.

- Okay.
- I got our drinks.

- You got me, too, right?
- I got you.

There we go.

- Thank you.
- Don't forget,

y'all put these tables back
before you leave.

- Yes, sir.
- Are you all right, Goody?

Better than you.

Oh.

Okay.

I, uh, want to make a toast
to you guys and the work

that you did today...
Each and every one of you.

You, um, you didn't quit.

You didn't phone it in.

You did what you had to do.

You got it done.

Hear, hear.

- Hear, hear.
- Hear, hear.

Wait. I, too, have a toast.

- Oh, I have to go to the bathroom.
- No, no, no.

Listen, listen.

When I was a young cop...

- You're going back now.
- Yeah, okay, I know that

- that sounds scary...
- A little bit scary, yeah.

A little scary coming from me.

However...

When I was a young cop...

I loved this job.

And I don't know whether it was
the job or me that changed,

but... I stopped loving it.

And then I asked to work for this woman.

And she said okay.

And...

- I
- came to love it all over again.

Regina...

to you.

To you.

- To you.
- To you.

- Hear, hear.
- Hear, hear.

Look what you did!

Look what you did!

And I didn't cry.

- Yeah, you did!
- Yes, you did.

I wanted to...

That does not make you a big man.

Okay.

I love you, man.
