Mr. Rojas, when questioned
by the Joint Drug Task Force,

you identified the individual

who authorized the murders
of the six victims

in this case.

Correct?

Yes.

Is that individual
present today?

That's him.

Rolando Vega gave the order.

Estás muerto, Javier.

Muerto.

(gavel bangs)

The people rest, Your Honor.

DANNY:
You did good, Javier.

Yeah, I'm a dead man.

Relax. Pretty soon you'll be
on a plane to God knows where

with a drink
and a whole new identity.

You're getting
a fresh start, Javier.

Don't screw it up.

He's all yours, Marshal.

Just what I've always wanted.

Another lucky mutt with
a get-out-of-jail-free card.

JAVIER:
Wait a minute.

You only brought one other guy?

(chuckles) I think we can
handle it, Dillinger.

Catch you guys next time around.

Sure thing.

Marshal, a word?
No.

Hey, Detective?

Hey!

Hey.
Hey, this is
a secured area, Andre.

You're not supposed
to be in here,

press or not.

Look, I just need
a minute, Detective.

We already said no.

Rolando Vega was the biggest
drug dealer in New York.

Taking him down is a huge story.
I just want to get it right.

No, you want to make the cover
of the Times.

Yeah, that, too.
This is big news.

You guys were right
in the middle of it.

Well, we don't
do interviews, okay?

Someday, some Hollywood big shot
will buy the life story rights,

and then you can go
see the movie.

Hey!
OFFICER: Hey!

What's the problem?

We don't need no cops, okay?

This is a private matter.

You're being loud
and boisterous.

Lower your volume
or you're going in.

Look, I didn't do
a damn thing, man.

I didn't do a damn...

So, what happened?

Why did our officer's camera
stop functioning?

That's unclear.

What is clear is that
the suspect,

James Prince,
is in the hospital

with a fractured skull.

Officer Taylor said
Prince punched him in the gut.

When he took the guy down,
his head hit the sidewalk.

Prince says Officer Taylor
attacked him

for no reason,
and two witnesses

on the scene back him up.

Reliable witnesses?

Bystanders.
Homies.

Just in this room.

The eyewitnesses are all black
and from the hood.

Race is not an issue here.

Officer Taylor's also black.

In my experience,
in these situations,

Officer Taylor is blue,

as in the uniform he wears.

(chuckles) Oh, that's gonna
play just great.

Well, I'm just calling it
what it is, all right?

This body-worn camera program
is nothing but trouble

for the cop on the beat,
and I'm not here

to put whipped cream on it.

That's enough.

Look, I signed off

on this pilot program

because I had no choice.

The mayor wanted it.

Which means out there
in the world, I want it.

Which also means,
because you work for me,

that you want it.

Understood?
Yes, sir.

Thank you.
And no, I will not hold
a press conference.

But the story's out there.

And the usual anti-cop suspects
are already making noise.

Ask the mayor's staff
to field it.

They won't; you know that.

Ask the manufacturer
of the camera to stand up there.

Oh, now you're just being...

Did the camera malfunction?

Did our officer turn it off?

Do we have the answer
to either of those questions?

No. The manufacturer
is examining the camera.

It'll take a few days.

I will hold a press conference

when I have the black box
in this.

And not a moment before.

Understood?

ERIN: I'm so happy
you stopped by, Hannah.

Well, thanks for seeing me,
Mrs. Reagan.

I know how busy you are.

I think it's time you can
start calling me Erin.

How's your freshman year
at Hudson?

It's been okay.

Yeah?

It's a great school.

Nikki had a hard time deciding

between there and Columbia.

Yeah, we-we talked about it.

How's your mom?

We have a school reunion
coming up,

and I am not going without her.

She...

doesn't know I'm here.

Okay.

Is there something wrong?

(sobs)
Okay.

Okay.

Just take a breath.

I'm sorry.

I didn't...

I didn't know who else
to-to call.

Come on,
sit down.

Okay.

Tell me what's happening.

Thank you.

There...

There was a party, um,
in the dorm.

I was drinking

with some of the guys,

soccer players.

One of them...

Darren Bentley...

He was cute and-and funny,

and everything seemed fine.

(sighs)

We made out

for a while,

and...

It's okay.

Go on.

He...

threw me down

on the bed.

(sighs)

(crying)

Did he rape you?

Yeah. (sniffles)

(sobs)

When did this happen?

Uh... (sniffles)

Um...

Uh, three months ago.

During freshman orientation.

(sighs)

Did you have
a rape kit performed?

No.

I just wanted to pretend
it didn't happen.

I talked to the dean
of students.

She said that the school had

its own disciplinary system.

That it would take less time,

and I could remain anonymous.

And was there a hearing?

It was a nightmare.

No one there

was on my side.

They didn't even care
about what happened.

They just wanted it all
to go away.

And what happened to this guy?

Darren?

He wasn't even punished.

I have to see him

on campus

every day.

And every time I do, it...

(softly):
Okay.

Does your mom know
what happened?

Mm-mm.

I just, I'm barely
holding it together right now.

And she'll freak out,
and I just,

I ca-- I can't handle that.

Please, please, don't tell her.

Okay, I promise
I won't tell her.

Okay?
Yeah.

(sobbing)

Hey.
Reagan.

MAN: Detective.
All right.

How goes it?

JAVIER:
Detective!

Detective Reagan!

Come out of there.

What in the hell
are you doing here, Javier?

Your boy, Morgan,
he screwed me over.

What are you talking about?
He told me that
my lawyer messed up.

That my deal for protection
wasn't binding.

So then they take
me to their office,

they open the car door,
they say, "You're free to go."

There must be
some mistake, okay?

Yeah, you know what
my mistake was?

Trusting a damn cop
to keep his word.

Why don't you watch your mouth?

I put my ass
on the line for you.

You know,
I won't last five minutes

once Vega finds out
I'm on the street.

Well, that's not gonna happen.

You know what they do to rats?

They cut you up nice and slow

until you beg to die.

All right, look, just don't
wet your pants, all right?

I got somewhere to take you.

Like I'm gonna
trust you again?
Listen,

if you had a better plan,
that's what you'd be doing,

so you're gonna
have to trust me.
What the hell are you doing?

Just because I'm helping you

doesn't mean I trust you.

Get in.

There's a rally planned

on the block
where James Prince was hurt.

Do they have a permit?

I don't know.
Ask patrol to make sure
they have one.

If they don't, make it easy
for them to get one.

I don't want grief
on top of grief here.

Come on in, Sergeant.

I've had a dozen phone calls

from the new president
of our union.

"Our" being the police union?

Yes, sir,
and he's really pissed off.

Why? Did I forget to buy
a raffle ticket?

He feels like your silence is
not supporting Officer Taylor.

Well, then he is
misunderstanding it.

My silence
isn't supporting anything

but a thorough investigation
before I shoot my mouth off.

Not what they were looking for.

Too bad-- the commissioner
doesn't serve at his pleasure.

You can tell him or I will.

FRANK: And what are
they looking for?

My knee-jerk reaction

to take Taylor's side

because we wear
the same uniform?

Pretty much, yeah.

This situation
is bad enough without

the commissioner looking like
he's covering for a bad cop.

There's zero evidence
that Taylor did anything wrong.

There's zero evidence,
period, right now.

I'm just saying,
with cops being blamed

for everything under the sun
these days,

they just want the commissioner
to stand up for them.

Sounds like you agree with him.

I represent the guys
in the street.

If I don't tell you
what they're thinking,

I'm not doing my job.

(sighs)

Well, then here's my reply
to the men on the street

and the president

of the union.

If they want me to come down
hard on Officer Taylor's side,

then go out there
and do the police work

that gives me
the evidence to do so.

Yes, sir.

(sighs)

ERIN:
Thank you for making time

to see me, Dean Walters.

Of course.

This is Matt Douglas,
our university counsel.

Erin Reagan.

Didn't realize that
the school's attorney

would be joining us.

University policy
dictates I be present

for any discussion of
our disciplinary process.

Is that policy in place
to protect the students,

or the school?

I assure you,

the welfare of our students
is our top priority.

I find that hard to believe

when you counsel
traumatized female students

like Hannah Lancaster

not to report sexual assault
to the police.

I made sure Hannah understood
all her options.

She chose the one that
best served her interests.

Not to mention
the interests of the school:

avoiding negative press

that might discourage
potential students,

donating alumni...

Ms. Lancaster isn't a minor.

Neither she nor
the university

had any legal obligation

to report her alleged assault
to the police.

Yes, I know the law,
Mr. Douglas.

I also know that during
Hannah's disciplinary hearing,

no relevant witnesses
were called

and no medical

evidence was introduced.

These were freshmen, Ms. Reagan.

Away from home for the first
time, drinking alcohol...

Sometimes...
misunderstandings occur.

Misunderstandings like rape?

This was a very
unfortunate incident.

But we have nothing to hide.

Good.

Because I intend to fully
investigate this matter.

What is that?

It's a subpoena.

Please have all
materials relating

to Hannah's case forwarded
to my office immediately.

Hey, Reagan.

Filling out
an application?

What happened to Javier Rojas?

What do you mean?

He showed up at my precinct

saying you went back on the deal

for witness
protection.

His shyster lawyer
screwed the pooch.

What are you
talking about?

Made his inclusion
in WITSEC

subject to the discretion
of the Marshal Service.

That's not the deal we made.

It is, according to the federal
prosecutor running this case.

My partner and I promised
this guy protection.

Rojas is a murdering
hump, Reagan.

Don't give a damn what
he is-- he gave us Vega,

and a deal is a deal.
Look...

every scumbag rat we put into
WITSEC costs us serious money.

We got budgets,
like everybody else.

That's a load of crap.
All right?

And if you go back on the deal,

you're as good as putting him
in the ground yourself.

One less drug-dealing skel?

Sorry if I don't
break down and cry.

If Rojas hired

a crappy lawyer,
that's his problem.

He's on his own.

Rojas' deal was negotiated
by a federal prosecutor.

Yeah, but it was
a joint operation.

There's gotta be
something we can do.

Without
Javier Rojas,

there's no way the feds
can take Vega down.

Yeah, Vega.

A murdering
son of a bitch

the feds haven't been able

to get their hands
on in four years!

It was a great collar.

But it was a federal operation.

We just availed our C.I.
to them.

Our C.I.

And we promised
this guy protection

and now we're not
protecting him.

And the marshals
backed us up.

Marshals backed us
up, all right...

until they didn't.

Where is Rojas now?

We're sitting on him
in an apartment downtown.

Look...

you guys have a right
to be pissed off.

But there's nothing we can do.

So we just feed this guy
to the sharks?

DANNY:
Look, we're not
the feds, boss.

We gave this guy our word.

This isn't how we operate.

I'm sorry.

My hands are tied.

Put Rojas back on the street.

You lying son of a bitch!

You're cops!

You're supposed to be
the good guys!

We are the good guys.

But the feds...
well, they're the feds.

And we can't force them
to honor the deal.

You had nothing without me.

I didn't have
to help you guys.

You're not exactly a Good
Samaritan here, Javier.

We had
you cold

on sale of a
controlled substance

and accessory
to murder.

You were looking at 20 years!

You testified
to save your own ass.

But I did what I said
I was gonna do.

Can you say that?

(sighs)

We promised you
we'd find a way out of this

and we will.

Danny...

DANNY:
Do not leave

this apartment.

Do you
understand?

We'll be back later.

Come on and lock the door.

What are you
doing, Danny?

Carver told us
to cut him loose.

I don't give a damn
what Carver said.

We're not breaking
our word for anyone,

not even the boss.

What do you want
to do, then?

If the feds won't
disappear this guy,

then we will.

Here you go.

Thank you.
Sit down.

This is, uh,
not a privileged conversation,

Officer Taylor.

So if you're charged,

whatever you say to me
is fair game in court.

I've got nothing to hide.

Okay.

What happened out there?

I'm walking a foot post

and I come up on the suspect

going after a guy
locked in a car.

Says the guy owes him money.

Well, we have that
on your body cam.

What happened next?

Suspect wouldn't calm down.

I tell him to lower the volume
or he's going in.

Next thing I know,
he punches me.

So I put him on the ground
in an effort to subdue him.

He must've hit his head.

To me, sounds like
a clean arrest

with an unfortunate outcome.

I didn't mean to hurt him.

He escalated the situation.

I mean, you hit a cop,
all bets are off.

Sure would be nice

if we had the rest of
the incident on video.

Yes, sir.

I've been wearing that camera
for almost three weeks.

I've never had a problem before.

And you didn't turn it off

so you could
tune up James Prince

without an audience?

No, sir.

I don't know what went
wrong with my camera,

but I know one thing for sure.

I did my job.

No more, no less.

So you're saying he's going
to get away with it?

I'm saying he got a lawyer

and he's sticking by his story.

His story is a lie.

And once I can prove that,
I will charge him.

(sighs)

God, I can't believe this!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I...

I know that you are doing
everything you can.

I just, I feel so...

angry and helpless...

I know, I know.

Please, don't worry.

I have an investigator
on campus now.

I promise I'll call you
once I hear any news.

Your mother called
me last night.

I'm glad you told her.

Was it as bad as you
thought it would be?

Uh, actually...

it's the first time
I've felt like myself

since all this happened.

Good.

You stay in touch, okay?

Okay.

Thanks.

Thank you.

My father sends his regards.

When I got shot
in the line of duty,

your old man made sure my
family was taken care of.

Hell of a guy.

Yeah, I agree.

Then again,
I'm kind of biased.

I wanted to talk to you
about Hannah Lancaster.

Nice girl.

Felt real bad
about what happened.

Well, did she or anyone else

report the incident
to your office that night?

No.

Got a call a few weeks
after it happened

from the dean
of students.

Yeah.
Janet Walters.

Yeah.

Hannah had reached
out to her.

The dean asked me to collect
physical evidence

from the girl's dorm room.

Wait. What evidence?

Hannah still had the skirt
she wore that night.

It was torn up pretty good.

Had what looked
like bloodstains on it.

Where's that skirt now?

I delivered it
to the dean's office.

Figured she'd call NYPD.

I guess Hannah decided
to go a different way.

Pork jerky, cuchifritos
and orange soda?

If Vega doesn't kill Javier,
his diet will.

Yeah, well, hopefully
no one will kill him...

(loud clattering)

JAVIER:
No!

No! No!

It's open.
(groaning)

Police! Drop it!

Shoot 'em!
Shoot 'em!

Shut your mouth, Javier!
Drop it!

Drop it!

Get on the floor.
Now!

Step away, Javier.
Hands on the back of your head.

Now!

We gotta get Javier out of here.
DANNY:
I know.

JAVIER:
I told you this would happen.

If Rolando's guys
can find me here,

they'll track me down
wherever I go.

Shut your mouth
or I'll kill you myself!

Cuffs.
Keep an eye on him.

What do you
want to do?

I don't know, I'm thinking.

I'll have a radio car
pick them up.

Great. After we
get this jackass

out of here.

Give me your hands.
Over there.

I know where we can take him.

It might get us more jammed
up than we already are,

but who the hell cares?

Get outside. Go!

You should be safe here.

At least until we can
get you out of town, Javier.

That's what you said
about the last place.

You know, I'm getting
a little sick

of your attitude.

You almost got me killed.

No, you almost got
yourself killed.

I didn't get you into
this mess, you did!

I'm the one that's trying
to get you out of it!

You know what?
You want to leave?

How about...

you take your chances out there
in the real world, huh?

You don't want my help?

You want to be
a pain in the ass?

How about you go
out there and see

if you can make it,
all right?

Otherwise, I suggest
you shut your mouth

and be grateful
you're still alive.

(shushes)

What?

(door closes)

Funny.

That looked like Javier Rojas.

But I know
that can't be him

because I ordered you
to cut him loose.

He's got a contract
on his head, boss.

Just like the last time
we talked.

You're on very thin ice,
Detectives.

I want him out
of this house tonight.

And I want to see
both of you in my office

first thing Monday morning.

If the mayor back in my day

had ordered me
to put cameras on my men...

You would've done it
or lost your job.

Same as in my day.
Yeah.

But I would have made sure
that any cop wearing a camera

would be walking
a very quiet beat.

DANNY:
Yeah, except in your day,

they'd be wearing
a giant automatic

Cop-O-Vision camera
the size of a shoebox.

(chuckles)

Hey, perp, say cheese.

That's not the point.

No, it's not.
Just because we have

the technology to do something

doesn't automatically
make it a good idea.

Oh, yeah?
I thought you were for this.

Where'd you hear that?

Well, I read it in an article
in the paper last week.

Well, you can't believe
everything you read

in the papers
where he's concerned.

Erin's right.

I have to be for it...
in the papers.

But did this start
with the NYPD saying,

"Hey, let's try this.

It's gonna be good for us"?

No. It came from outside.

Everything's on cameras
these days, though.

JACK:
Yeah, and people
are taking videos

of the cops,
so why can't they shoot back?

Because they have
guns to shoot back.

Because it makes it seem like
the public doesn't trust

the police anymore; like we need

surveillance cameras
to police the police.

A lot of people don't
trust cops-- it's a fact.

Let them try living
without us for a week.

And if wearing a camera proves
to be some kind of magic bullet

in getting everyone
to trust our cops,

I'm all for it,
but I haven't seen that.

What I do see

is an assumption that a cop
will turn the camera off

if he wants to hide
what he's about to do.

An assumption.

Think Taylor

turned his camera off
to tune that guy up?

Oh, I don't know.

I sure hope not.

But the larger issue here
really bothers me.

We are laying down precedent

that a cop's word,

a man's word,

isn't any good unless there is

a real-time digital recording

to back it up.

Not to leave this room.

(quietly):
Yeah.

It's a cautionary tale.

It's important to make choices
that help keep you safe.

Everyone drinks at college, Mom.

Alcohol impairs your judgment.

It's not about blame.
It's a fact.

He was just some guy
from her dorm.

Who she had only known
for a few hours.

That doesn't excuse what he did.

Not in a million years.

But in the end...

...the only one
who can keep you safe is you.

GARRETT:
You're not listening.

I'm saying it's over.

The manufacturer found
a faulty sensor

in Officer Taylor's body camera.

I am listening, but how
does that make it over?

The camera malfunctioned.

Taylor didn't turn it off.
It went off.

Not good enough.

Why not?
You tell that

to the people
in that neighborhood,

all you're gonna get
is a good laugh.

Sometimes the truth
has to suffice.

You use that word "suffice" and
you'll get an even bigger laugh

with a couple of beer bottles
tossed at you.

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

You're doing your job.

Part of which is to help
me figure out how to show

this department
in the very best light.

And we've only got part
of the black box.

What's the other part?

What did happen when
the camera went off.

(indistinct arguing on TV)
There.

You see it?

You lost me.

Keep your day job.

How about you, Sergeant?

Actually, we interviewed
that woman.

Oh.

She said she didn't

record anything.

She was on a speakerphone,

having a conversation.

Or maybe not.

You know,
we chose that neighborhood

for the pilot program
because it had

the highest rate of civilian
complaints in the city.

We're not very
popular up there.

So what do we do?

Offer her something.

Some kind of reward.

Get a subpoena,
seize it as evidence

and dump her phone.

Bribe her? Force her?

That's the best we can do?

Look, we're trying
to clear our man,

but we're also trying
to gain the trust

and respect of the people
in that community.

It's not a victory
if we don't have both.

(knocking)

Hey.

Hey.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sure. Is there a problem?

I still don't have
anyone to go with me

to the mayor's reception

for the AG.

That is a problem.

You sure you won't reconsider?

Who have you asked?

A few people.

Name two.

How's your case going?

My investigator just delivered

Hannah's torn skirt from
the night of the attack.

The dean of students
apologized

for not turning it
over right away.

Claims that it was misplaced.

I'll bet.
Uh-huh.

The skirt is torn,
has blood on it.

So much for Darren's
claim of consensual sex.

What happened
when it was presented

at the school's
disciplinary panel?

It wasn't-- the panel ruled
that it wasn't relevant.

Oh.

Your tuition dollars at work.

Yeah.

I'm gonna nail this kid.

I got to tell you, Erin.

The skirt is helpful.

But after all this time,

with no police report,
no medical evidence...

I am not letting Darren get
away with raping Hannah.

What he did to that girl is...

Is horrific. I get it.

But step back for a second.

Pretend you don't know
Hannah or her mom.

Given only the facts
of this case

and the reality
of getting convictions

in sexual assault cases
like this...

would you take this to trial?

No.

I'm really sorry.

I'm just sorry for Hannah.

She went through hell
and she won't get justice.

I know.

Unless...

Unless what?

There may be a way to hold
someone responsible.

I would need your okay.

I'm listening.

Morning.
Hey.

Where's Javier?

He's, uh, in a fleabag motel
in Hell's Kitchen.

He'll be boarding a bus
to Scranton in an hour.

I'd rather be on a bus than
getting reamed by the boss.

You think she'll suspend us?

I don't know.

Either way,
we did the right thing.

We still violated
a direct order.

Yeah.

We did. And I apologize
for dragging you into it.

You didn't. We both promised
Javier witness protection.

Yeah, but I'm the one
that held onto him

after Carver said
to cut him loose.

So, when we go into her office
to get chewed out...

Stop it, Danny.

Look, I'm a big girl.

I got my own gold
shield and everything.

I wanted to protect Javier
because my word means

as much to me as yours
does to you, you got it?

Yeah.
We work together.

We catch hell together.

Well, let's prepare
to catch some hell.

ANDRE:
Detectives?

This guy doesn't stop.

You know,
you're like something

we stepped in, Andre.

What part of no
do you not understand?

Look, I get your reluctance
to talk to the press.

But this is an example of law
enforcement getting it right.

The public has a right to know
what happened in this Vega case.

Look, Andre,
we told you before...

You know what?
Maybe Andre's right.

Say what?

Maybe the public
does need to know

what happened in this case.

I mean,

every single detail.

Wouldn't it be interesting
if they found those out?

Andre, we'll be in touch.

Maybe you get your story
after all. Come on.

Where we going?
Not upstairs.

We're gonna go back
and stop Javier

before he gets on that bus
and then we're gonna

pay a visit to the
Marshal Service.

What about the lieutenant?
What about her?

We're going down in flames,

we might as well finish
what we started.

Ms. Jones?

Frank Reagan.

I already told the police

I didn't see anything.

Excuse me.

See, I took a look at the video
on Officer Taylor's body-cam.

And it appears
to show you

recording the arrest
on your cell phone.

Like I said to them,
I wasn't recording.

I was talking
on speakerphone.

But, having a clear view,
can you tell me what you saw?

Not from my perspective,
it wasn't clear.

NYPD isn't very popular
in this neighborhood.

I'd say that's
an understatement.

I take it,
you share that opinion.

I've got four boys,
Commissioner.

Not one of them's
ever been arrested.

Well, you should be
very proud of that.

In this neighborhood,
you know I am.

My oldest son, Ray, just
graduated from City College.

Been stopped by your officers
over 20 times.

My other boys, too.

Questioned,
patted down.

Humiliated.

Never arrested.

I'm sorry your sons had
to go through that.

It's tough enough
to raise your children here,

to teach them self-respect,

without them being
falsely accused

every time they walk
down the street.

You know, you're the second
mother I heard that from today.

The other mother,

she raised her son,
oh, 20 blocks from here.

Walked him back
and forth to school,

kept him away from gangs,
made him study.

Well, so?
What am I supposed to say?

Good for her?

Well, her boy grew up
to be a cop.

The cop in this incident.

Reggie Taylor.

Oh.

She told me that...

he shouldn't be accused
of something he didn't do.

As I'm sure you told
your boys many times.

I'm sorry you didn't record it.

Might go a long way toward
making things better here.

For all of us.

Commissioner Reagan?

Can I ask you a favor?

Sure.

It's my only phone.

We don't have a house phone,

so can you not take it
and just...

tell me where to send the video?

Thank you, Desiree.

MORGAN: You're like a damn dog
with a bone, Reagan.

Look, Javier goes
back into WITSEC,

or the story of how the
feds put a key witness

back on the street with
a price on his head is

on the front
page tomorrow.

Now, the reporter's waiting for
my call, so what's it gonna be?

It's not gonna make
you guys look real good.

Nope.

(laughs)

Are you guys serious?

We're the federal government.

We get bad press every day.

Yeah? How about you?

Has your name been on the front
page of the papers before?

Do you really think there's
gonna be some public outcry?

Because a convicted felon won't
be moving in next door

to some poor
unsuspecting family?

Look, we made a deal
with this guy.

That's right, we did.
And we're gonna honor it.

You guys just don't
get it, do you?

(cell phone rings)

Nobody gives a damn
about this guy-- but you.

Morgan.

Yes, sir.

With all due respect,
sir, I don't think...

Yes, sir.

I understand.

So?

So, this whole little newspaper
thing's just a tap dance, right?

What are you talking about?

Your chief of detectives
called my boss.

Threatened to pull
all PD detectives

off the task force unless
Rojas gets in the program.

Right.

So Javier's in.

Congratulations.

You just saved a total dirtbag.

Takes one to know one.

You're late.

Uh, we were just getting rid
of Javier Rojas.

Like you told us to.

You were late on that, too.

We screwed up, boss.

And then some.

We know you called
the chief of Ds.

It was a very stand-up
thing to do.

I didn't do it for you.
Oh.

If the deals my detectives make
with informants aren't honored,

this squad is out of business.

Absolutely.

That's because
a squad runs on trust.

both out on the street
and in this house.

Now, I know you two thought
you were doing the right thing,

but you violated that trust
in a big way.

We didn't mean
to disrespect you, Lieutenant.

But you did disrespect me.

And the rest
of this squad.

Are we suspended?

I'm not a big fan
of airing dirty laundry,

so I decided
to handle this in-house.

Meaning?

The two of you will choose last
on tours and vacation schedules

for the next
six months.

During which time
you will make sure

that all squad vehicles
are gassed and washed.

Understood?

Yes.

Yeah.

You're both
damn good detectives,

but if you disobey
another direct order,

you're both gone.

Get out.

Hey! What's
the problem?

We don't need
no cops, okay?

This is
a private matter.

You're being loud
and boisterous
What?!

Lower your volume down...
I didn't do a damn thing.

I didn't do a damn thing!
Lower your voice down.

As you just saw,

James Prince attacked Officer
Taylor without provocation.

Mr. Prince has been
placed under arrest

and is awaiting a
bedside arraignment

for assaulting
a police officer.

Officer Taylor acted
in self-defense

in the performance of his duty,
and will not be disciplined.

Thank you.

Thank you, Sergeant.

As a special assistant
to the commissioner,

Sergeant Gormley is a welcome
addition to the 14th floor.

The footage you just
saw was provided to us

by a citizen
from the neighborhood

where the incident took place.

It will be used
as supporting evidence

to the witness' testimony
in the trial of Mr. Prince

for his assault
on Officer Taylor.

Questions?

(clamoring)
Commissioner Reagan...

Okay.

Sergeant Gormley...

...is the NYPD in favor

of body-worn cameras
for its officers?

Sergeant?

I, um...

Uh, what was the question?

Is the NYPD in favor

of body-worn cameras
for its officers?

Suffice to say
that in this incident...

it was a camera that started
this whole brouhaha.

And, uh, another camera
that solved the can of worms

of what happened when
the first camera conked out.

Okay, great, now
if we could move on

to item number three
on the agenda.

Sorry to interrupt.

We're here to execute
an arrest warrant.

If you intend
to arrest Darren Bentley,

you can probably find him at
his dorm or on the soccer field.

Yeah, I'd love to,
but your reckless mishandling

of Hannah Lancaster's rape
complaint made that impossible.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

Now, if you'll excuse us.

There's no excuse
for what happened here.

And I may not be able
to charge Darren Bentley,

but I can do
the next best thing.

What's this?

Dean Walters, we have
a warrant for your arrest

for hindering prosecution.
Please stand up.

You've got
to be kidding.

You're arresting me?

You withheld crucial evidence
in violation of a subpoena.

That was an oversight.

This is outrageous.

You'll never convict her
for hindering prosecution

or anything else.

Maybe not.

But when this goes to trial
and hits the newspapers,

the public will know what passes
for justice on this campus.
