Previously on East New York...

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

his gut told him the Selkirk Brothers

had gone out of state,

but First Grade Detective Troy here didn't

want to exceed the overtime cap.

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

two more people?

(shouting, clamoring)

How'd your homicide go?

I'm here for a divorce.

Oh. And because she works

in Manhattan South, guess who's getting transferred?

I also want members of the service

to start living near where they work.

No one wants you here.

You're a nuisance.

Ticketing us like criminals in our homes.

Leave.

Every single person in this building is important.

Okay, let's take it for a spin.

(rumbling) What the hell was that?

Oh, my goodness.

It's good.

You know, I'm generally suspect

Ready? WOMAN: Yeah.

(all clapping)

I thought you didn't eat pork.

Sandeford, it's turkey bacon.

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

A turkey will come when you call them.

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

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

in-laws or cops.

(gun shots) (woman screams)

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

Need additional units.

It's okay.

(panting)

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

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

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

Down on your knees. Wait, what?

I said get down on your knees!

Put your hands up where I can see them!

7-4 George get a bus down here forthwith.

And show me with one under.

Sandeford? Check out her right arm.

What? Why are you doing this to me?!

It's blood from the guy she just shot.

I'm glad you noticed that, Officer.

That's what a good cop does.

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

Something like that. Right on.

BENTLEY: Inspector?

(moaning)

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

Got an ambulance coming, okay?

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

Are you about to tell me she should have

Spanish music playing at the bar?

Willie Colón, Eddie Palmieri. Old school.

You know, she's hemorrhaging money.

She's got a convict for a chef.

And you're worried about what kind of music

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

'Cause you're not taking enough of an interest

in it, that's why.

We got the perp from the supermarket shooting.

Oh, yeah? She asked to speak

to Detective Morales, said she knows you.

A lot of perps know me.

She asked to say hello.

Tell her... I'm out somewhere.

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

taking enough interest in this.

Antonia?

I got him, Crystal.

I got him.

(sighs)

MORALES: It was a year and a half ago.

She came in saying she'd been raped.

What was the disposition? Closed.

"Not Amenable."

So it never even went to the D.A.

Because she met the guy in a bar,

it's classified as "acquaintance rape,"

rather than "stranger rape."

Stranger rape takes priority.

Given how many you're handling at a time,

by the time you get to acquaintance rape,

just not enough hours in the day.

I gather it wasn't your decision

to close the case. No.

It was definitely not my decision.

Word came from the C.O.

at SVD.

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

Yeah, I do.

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

...do it. Thanks, boss.

Can't say that I have, Captain.

William Faulkner.

I never read William Faulkner.

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

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

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

over at Ruskin Gardens has been linked to a homicide.

And since you're next in the catching order,

the investigation has fallen to you.

This is from 15 years ago.

Ergo, the issue of the past.

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

Tell me about it.

KILLIAN: So you didn't see the person

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

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

I just felt this

searing pain in my back.

It was like someone stabbed me.

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

And since it was the grand opening,

were you on a different schedule than usual?

I'm always there by 6:00.

Is it possible the shooter knew your schedule?

If it was me she was after.

So it was a woman.

I don't know if it was a woman.

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

Yeah? What do you think it was about?

Someone delusional,

marginalized...

filled with rage in a crowded city.

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

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

Did I cut someone off on the expressway?

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

KILLIAN: What about the people that work for you?

Have you had to fire anyone recently?

Can I let you in on a little secret?

I never fire anyone.

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

Too soft.

Well...

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

Does the name Antonia Ortiz ring a bell?

I dated a woman named Antonia Ortiz.

If it's the same one.

What could you tell us about her?

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

We only went out once or twice.

From what I remember, she was nuts.

Nuts how?

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

but she flip-flops from one thing to another.

Affectionate one minute.

Revolted by my very existence the next.

Well, when you're feeling up to it,

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

Sure. Then if it goes

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

Meantime you've got her locked up?

Mm-hmm.

Good.

Keep her that way.

Yeah, you got it.

He's lying. He might be lying.

The doctor said the entry wound was from the front.

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

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

given the circumstances.

In other words, you want her to be lying.

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

But there's no corroboration.

No physical evidence. Okay? We have to allow

for the possibility that one of them is lying.

Okay, you be sure and keep that possibility alive.

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

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

as excessive even-handedness.

Hey, pardon me?

Before you throw his bandages away,

can we have that?

It's uh, for an ongoing investigation.

I ordered turkey and Swiss.

Yeah.

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

Great hero sandwiches.

Where is it? Pittsburgh.

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

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

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

That's not what we're doing.

We were complaining about these sandwiches.

So, um...

Why were you in Pittsburgh?

I was thinking of going to Carnegie Mellon.

Really?

You two are the Eagle Scouts

Yeah, that was, that was us.

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

Darnell "Shuggie" Adams.

Lived in Ruskin Gardens with a woman named Thora Whitfield.

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

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

Cold as ice, but I have go through

the motions of opening an investigation, so...

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

let me know. Hey.

I try not to seem like I moved into the projects

with the sole purpose of intelligence-gathering.

So don't seem like that.

How am I supposed to seem?

Like a hard-working young police officer

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

That's what you are, Brandy Quinlan.

Same as you, Andre Bentley?

Same as me.

Just one floor down.

(knocking)

Have a minute? Sure.

I don't believe we've met.

Deputy Inspector Jack Hammond from Special Victims.

How can I help you, Jack?

Oh, it seems as though one of your detectives

used to be one of my detectives.

If you're talking about Crystal Morales,

I hope you're not asking for her back.

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

Oh. One of my people

threw up a flare that

she was trying to access files.

Well, there was a shoo-- Please.

Oh, thank you.

There was a shooting at a supermarket this morning.

I understand it relates

to a rape investigation

from when she was at Special Victims.

I'm sure you realize that Special Victims cases

are of a particularly sensitive nature.

Absolutely.

Access on a need-to-know basis only.

Detectives are generally encouraged to share files.

Depends what they want to do with them.

Seems to me that Detective Morales

wants to make Special Victims out to be negligent

or callous in their treatment of a rape victim.

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

Why don't we bring the introductory part

of this conversation to a close, Inspector?

Morales made her feelings about the men

and women in Special Victims pretty clear before she left.

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

into punching bags for her righteous indignation

that a wobbling

acquaintance rape case didn't go the distance.

SVD files will not be provided

for Crystal Morales's perusal.

And you can tell her I said so.

I will.

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

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

They promote us to a command position,

and we're expected to protect our people,

answer for decisions that weren't ours to make

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

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

You know... Anyway.

It's nice to meet you, Regina.

Oh.

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

Thanks. Take care.

You, too. Bye-bye.

Bye.

I just had a visit from your old boss.

He give you his speech about protecting his people?

He's entitled to protect the confidentiality

of his case files, Detective.

Protect them from whom? Especially if there isn't

a legitimate purpose being served by sifting through them.

But...

I know you wouldn't be wasting your time

if there weren't.

Rape complaint breakdown for Brooklyn North

for the past two years. It's pretty clear

where your old boss wanted his detectives

to focus their time

and where he didn't.

You lost?

They said they were short-handed in a couple

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

How's Manhattan South Homicide managing

without you?

I'm out of Manhattan South Homicide.

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

Oof, that is quite a drop in class,

going from Manhattan South Homicide

to a lowly squad detective in East New York.

Hopefully it's only temporary. Couldn't be

temporary enough from where I'm sitting.

Will you two stop?

Us two? Yeah, you two.

Come on, make nice.

(sighs)

As long as you're here, Desmond,

how about you take a case off my hands?

If it's something you think I can handle.

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

from 15 years ago.

Some skel who lived in Ruskin Gardens.

Got a couple of uniforms living over there.

Might want to start by talking to them.

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

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

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

Oh, God, you're one of those.

One of what?

A romantic. (shudders)

(sighs)

I didn't get him after all?

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

I didn't even hurt him that much.

I'm so stupid.

Antonia...

you're gonna be charged with attempted murder.

They could put you away for 15 years.

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

I don't think so.

After the seasons came once or twice

with you still inside...

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

He changed my life, Crystal.

I was one person

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

I believe you.

I know you do.

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

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

it wasn't enough.

We didn't have a suspect back then.

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

I had stopped going to the market.

I had stopped doing anything.

One day my nephews were coming over,

I had to get some stuff and I...

saw his picture on the wall.

He's a manager there.

I struck up conversation with someone who worked there,

and she told me he'd been transferred

to the East New York location.

Who was it you struck up a conversation with?

Uh, her name was Yolanda Evans.

She was an assistant manager at the Gowanus store.

Oh, when I saw his picture...

when I finally knew his name...

it's like everything came into focus.

Suddenly I had a purpose.

I tracked him.

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

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

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

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

I took my shot and just ran.

What did you talk to Yolanda Evans about?

I told her that I knew him from college

and I just wanted to get in touch.

She told me not to trust him.

You work here when Reid Kissoon was the general manager?

I sure did. How was that?

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

You here on account of some woman shot him?

She said you directed her

to the store that was opening in East New York.

I didn't know she was gonna shoot him.

And nobody said you did.

Can you tell us anything about him?

He was a little pervy.

But as long as he gave me

halfway decent hours and kept his hands to himself,

I got along with him.

How was he pervy?

His whole thing with the cameras.

Half the time,

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

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

a pretty girl on camera,

he wouldn't take his eyes off her.

Sometimes he'd say to me,

"What do you think of her, Yolanda?"

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

MORALES: Mm. Yeah.

Were there any ones he was particularly interested in?

Yeah. One time,

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

if that's what you're looking to do.

You're gonna scrutinize investigations past and present,

you're always gonna find ways to make us wrong.

All right. I'm not circling the wagons here, Jack.

If a rape victim wasn't treated right,

if there was no follow-up,

somebody's got to answer for that.

My detectives are handling an average

of 75 cases each. Oh, you know,

so then you should be banging on the Chief of Detectives' door

or the Chief of Department's door.

But don't come in here crying that you can't do

your job properly and everybody should just understand.

or acquaintance rape or stranger rape,

a whole hell of a lot better than that.

You're not in any kind of trouble, Ms. Vega.

We're here because of a shooting

at the Green Gro supermarket

in East New York this morning.

The target of that shooting was an individual

by the name of Reid Kissoon.

The woman

who stands accused of the shooting

claims that Mr. Kissoon

raped her in March of 2021.

Well, whoever it was that raped me didn't leave his name, so...

I can't help you there.

You filed a police report in September of that year.

(clears throat) That's right. I did.

We're sorry to put you through this, Ms. Vega.

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

there could be other victims out there.

Could you tell us what happened?

It was...

Labor Day weekend.

The restaurant was busy.

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

I was at the bar having a drink,

and then this guy started talking to me.

He was witty.

He knew a lot about wine and exotic produce

and the healing properties of guava.

I actually enjoyed talking to him.

But not enough to give him my number.

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

that was the last I'd be seeing him.

Mm, boy, was I wrong.

When...

I unlocked the door to my apartment,

he was behind me.

(shudders)

He...

he put one hand over my mouth,

pushed me inside,

bent me over the side of this couch...

...and raped me.

Okay, so you...

you didn't have a name,

didn't have an address.

W-Was there security camera footage?

Was there anyone who could identify him from the bar?

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

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

What ring was that?

It was this silver ring

that I bought myself in San Francisco.

I scratched him with it.

Where's that ring now? Beats me.

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

and that's the last I saw of it.

MORALES: We'd like for you to look

at some photographs to see if you can ID him.

Can you get my ring back?

Of course.

MORALES: Is that him?

Yeah.

Thank you.

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

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

in five different directions, right?

First, one thing's a priority.

Then the other thing's a priority,

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

Exactly. Nobody cares.

Chief of Detectives wants cold cases cleared.

And if they're not cleared,

he wants to know that every effort has been made

to try and clear them.

You understand me, Tommy?

Everybody wants what they want.

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

Capisce?

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

I know you will.

(exhales)

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

I get a feeling those uniforms living in that project

are less than enthusiastic about snooping around.

The X-O's leaning on me.

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

Since when have you developed such a generous nature?

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

Huh.

We found these in Kissoon's bedroom closet.

Each disc labeled with a date and description

of the woman the security camera recorded.

Whoa, there's a lot.

Yeah, the sick bastard was organized,

I'll give him that.

Obsessed is more like it.

This one is of Penelope Vega.

(drive opens, closes)

This one is of Antonia Ortiz.

Both of their cases have red stickers on them.

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

Are those the only red stickers?

No.

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

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

If he's breathing, bring him in.

KISSOON: You searched my apartment?

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

wherever we can find it.

We couldn't help but notice you enjoy watching

security camera footage.

First I get shot,

then my privacy gets violated?

With the grand opening,

this was supposed to be a good week. Mm.

There's time yet.

Maybe you could turn it around.

KILLIAN: At least two of those discs

have security camera footage of women

who claim that you raped them.

Well, they're lying.

And what, exactly, does that prove?

That I'm a voyeur?

Okay, I'm a voyeur.

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

But to keep it straight,

you admit having had sexual relations

with Antonia Ortiz,

but you maintain it was consensual?

In all respects.

What about Penelope Vega? Wow!

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

Well, Penelope Vega and Antonia Ortiz

have the same account.

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

push in the front door behind 'em.

MORALES: And according to your doctor,

the exit wound was in the back.

You were shot in the front.

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

Yeah, I'm sure you're tired.

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

put you through any further strain.

But the thing is,

when two incidents closely resemble each other,

we look for a pattern.

MORALES: You want to tell us how many times

that pattern was repeated?

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

How many women did you rape?

I--

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

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

MORALES: We have a DNA match

from Penelope Vega. What?

KILLIAN: The ring she scratched your face with,

and the gauze your gunshot wound was bandaged with

are a perfect match with the rape kit.

MORALES: The only question is whether or not

you want to come clean about anyone else.

What I want is a lawyer.

You got it.

(pained grunts)

Tell them you're officially under arrest.

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

(indistinct radio chatter)

They're gonna take you over to arraignment.

There'll be a bail hearing.

Given that you're employed,

and you have ties to the community,

it's possible they'll release you

on your own recognizance.

Past that,

you need a good lawyer.

Any suggestions?

There's a few I can think of.

They'll bring it to the court's attention

that you were in fact raped,

and that your rapist has been arrested

for a similar crime.

Whether you plead temporary insanity

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

any jail time at all.

A chance.

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

(sighs)

A few months after he raped you,

he raped another woman.

I'm sure a thorough investigation

will reveal he raped others.

I know you would have caught him

if they let you, Crystal.

Yeah. I wish that would have been the case.

(Killian clears throat)

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

Hands behind your back. Thank you.

I'll get you the names of those lawyers.

Thank you.

(sighs)

How you doing?

Oh, I've been better.

Don't you have a home to go to?

I guess I do.

Wishing you hadn't volunteered

to move into the projects?

No.

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

As far as what goes?

You live somewhere, you find things out.

You know, things that you would never find out

if you just worked in that place.

I mean, you get to know these people

because they're your neighbors.

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

you come into a piece of information,

and you're supposed to act like a cop.

Figure out who killed Shuggie Adams?

I figured out that where his body was dumped

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

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

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

We make these decisions every day

about who we bring in and who we let go.

That's the job.

Yeah, and no one tells us that

these are our decisions to make,

but sometimes they are.

That's right, sometimes they are.

So how do you know?

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

When I sleep good at night.

I want to do right by Ruskin Gardens, Marvin.

I... I want me being there

to be a good thing.

Then ask yourself who are you working for?

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

And I promise you, it's a better place

with him gone.

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

You didn't tell me what to do.

Oh, yeah, I did.

TROY: How you doing, Officer?

Marvin Sandeford. Desmond Troy.

SANDEFORD: You working out of the Squad here?

For the time being.

Officer Quinlan found guns in an elevator shaft.

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

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

TROY: (laughs) That's right.

Anything come to light about that homicide?

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

Yeah, I kind of figured nothing would.

Detective. Chief.

Please. Uh, thanks for coming down here.

I know it's been a long day.

Am I in trouble?

Not as far as I'm concerned.

She in any kind of trouble with you, Regina?

Far from it.

So, then, why am I here?

I don't usually get summoned

to the Borough Commander's office.

It took guts to do what you did, Detective.

I've seen how you work.

I know how frustrated you must have been

at Special Victims. That's why I left.

Detective, the job doesn't appreciate

having its failures held up to the light of day.

Which means sometimes they shoot the messenger.

Want to propose something to you, Detective.

And I want you to understand

you are free to decline this proposition.

I understand.

I have a friend over at DOJ

whom I've known for a long time.

If an investigation into the practices

over at Special Victims is warranted,

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

HAYWOOD: It's possible talking to them

might not be a good career move.

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

I'm in a different position.

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

SUAREZ: No, she wasn't.

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

I thought we were doing this together.

Oh, no, we are.

Okay.

Do you think that we made a mistake?

By agreeing to shovel mulch? No.

Moving into Ruskin Gardens.

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

Seems like it's a worthwhile thing to do.

To try, at least.

It's pretty complicated.

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

Yeah, for starters.

I think you did the right thing

by not pointing him in the direction

of making Thora a suspect.

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

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

Or if she were convicted and sent to prison.

Even though I may have withheld evidence?

(chuckles)

Even though everything.

You're so sure of yourself.

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