Previously on East New York... Think fast.

What's up, man?

(gunshot)

One of my cops arrested a female for shoplifting.

He may have used

an excessive amount of force.

YENKO: Gabe Finley.

High number of CCRB complaints against him.

I want him on the day tour.

That way, we can keep an eye on him.

I've got an undercover-- Sean Dryden.

You suspect I'm less than genuine when I'm with you?

You've lived a double life long enough for me to wonder.

Yeah. Who are all these tough guys?

Oh, I hired a chef. The New Yorker

had a thing on him.

Yeah, does he have a name, Corinne?

CORINNE: George Pappas.

I locked him up.

Finley's got to stay on a late tour.

You can have the late tour platoon commander monitor him,

but, uh, you can't move him.

HAYWOOD: And that union trustee has

nothing to do with it?

I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

Oh, let me take this in for a second.

I, uh, didn't know if I'd ever get the chance

to see you reporting for duty again, and now that you are,

I can't tell you how happy that makes me.

I'm happy to be back.

So, the doctor says you're fit for duty,

Psych Services says you're fit for duty.

What do you say? Absolutely fit for duty.

And you would say if you weren't?

Yes, I would.

Yeah, I understand you want to get back out there.

I would urge you to just...

watch for signs that may tell you you're not as ready

as you think you are.

I-I will. Okay. Uh, yeah.

You promise? I promise.

It's good to have you back.

It's good to be back. All right. Okay.

Morning, Captain.

Bentley, welcome back.

Let me guess.

You're about to tell me you like

working on a desk. No, sir.

No shame in it. Not at all.

It's possible, after all these years,

you might actually like being a house mouse.

I know there are vital functions performed

by members of the service

inside the confines of the precinct.

Members of service like myself?

Yes, sir. But that's not you.

(laughing): No, sir. No. Your place is on the street.

For 26 years.

You realize that your actions

might have resulted in a considerably

longer stretch of modified duty?

Yes, sir. Were it not for the influence of Chief Suarez,

you might have been suspended.

Hell, you could've been fired.

I-I know...

my punishment was far more lenient

than what could have been.

Well, I think you've earned such consideration.

I'm just an old war horse, Captain.

Saddle up.

Thinking about taking some of the vacation days

I have saved up.

Oh, yeah? Yeah, go someplace warm.

Oh, yeah? Mm.

My folks have a condo in Saint Croix.

If they're not using it, you're welcome to it.

Don't you have to clear it with them first?

What? You're gonna trash the place?

Hell, yeah, I'm gonna...

No, I ain't gonna trash the place. So it's no problem.

KILLIAN: This your place?

Yeah. Yeah, uh, Jamal.

What's your last name, Jamal? Jamal Hayes.

You call in that there was a robbery in progress?

I had a gun to my head. I saw one of my customers

in the window.

He must have called it in. HAYWOOD: Okay.

This is Jamal Hayes. He owns the place.

Hello.

Officer Haywood.

That's "Inspector."

Oh, do I know you?

You're one of the cops

that arrested me for selling marijuana.

When did I do that? 2007.

I was in Narcotics.

Sold six and a half ounces of herb,

and did four-and-a-half years in Elmira.

Well, there was a mandatory minimum sentence

in effect back then.

Yeah, laws were different back then, right?

Okay, can you ID, uh, the person who robbed you, Jamal?

Uh, everything happened so fast.

I didn't get an eye on them.

If you could give us height, build,

anything about their physical description,

that might help. Nine millimeter.

That's all I saw was a gun.

What they take? Almost everything. I mean,

all the cash that I had on hand. Yeah, how much was that?

$85,000.

Had a scheduled pickup for later this afternoon.

All right, let us do our thing. With jobs like this,

we sometimes zero in on a suspect pretty quick.

Won't matter.

I lose that much cash, I'm wiped out.

Again.

What a tragedy, huh?

One less place to buy weed.

I'd say a guy who spent four-and-a-half years in prison

for doing what now isn't even a misdemeanor

deserves some kind of consideration.

Treat it like an armed robbery.

Just leave it at that.

Yes, boss.

HAYWOOD: Two dispensaries in our precinct, two dispensaries

in the 8-2, one dispensary in the 8-9.

It has been deemed a pattern, Inspector.

All hit by three-man crews

wearing hoodies, armed with handguns.

From the amount reported stolen, it looks like

these dispensaries were all hit

when there was a fair amount of cash in the till.

Yeah, given the amount of people smoking weed,

there might always be a fair amount of cash in the till.

HAYWOOD: There is a new city agency

that's serving as a clearing house

for legalized cannabis sales.

You should check with them and see who's listed as licensees.

Yeah, city agency. (scoffs)

Established solely for the purpose

of people who want to get loaded.

Well, it's a pretty universal desire.

Yeah, but does that mean we got to cater to it?

Sorry, Father Killian. Forgive us, for we have sinned.

Yeah. Where do you stand

on this, Inspector? I don't like it.

More young people'll be getting high, driving high.

But I'm not saying that I want them in prison.

I have no doubt that there will be

unintended consequences from the legalization.

What's crazy is, you're the one who collared this guy

for intent to distribute. I know.

Why he was given priority in being granted a license.

Which isn't to say that four-and-a-half years in prison

is a good trade-off.

Yeah. No, it's not.

None of us had a choice.

The old drug laws didn't do anyone any favors.

Well, it seems like not much gets past you.

You must have quite a few of those around here.

I want one.

A lot of people who smile out their mouths,

but in the end, are too invested

in their own careers to be counted on.

Wow. That's, uh, quite a wind-up.

I'm officially announcing my run for mayor.

I get elected, I want you for P.C.

Bad idea.

Why?

I'm a two-star chief.

You'd be jumping me over the heads

Plus, if you wanted to go outside

the department, at least-- I don't know--

a half dozen police commissioners

from other cities who would do you

a hell of a lot more political good than I would.

First Puerto Rican police commissioner.

Oh. I'd say that does me a lot of political good.

That's a demographic that you're really worried about?

It's about building bridges between communities.

I don't know that I want to play that role.

And I don't know that I'm going to win,

but since it's just you and me talking,

could I ask you to at least be open to it?

As long as that's all you're asking.

Okay.

Someone I'd like you to meet.

(laughs) Ah, ah.

Allison, would you mind stepping in for a minute?

Allison Cha,

Chief Suarez.

Allison is a very important addition to our team.

She cut her teeth on some tough political campaigns.

Worked for Carville,

interned for Bob Strauss.

SUAREZ: Hmm. Knows when to cut and run.

Knows when to come out swinging.

Very nice to meet you, Chief. Pleasure.

Now, I have some official duties to take care of,

but I wonder if I can impose upon you

to give Allison a crash course in the current

state of affairs regarding crime and policing.

(laughs) I've got a pretty full day here.

Perhaps we can schedule this, uh, at another time?

Uh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Once the announcement goes public,

things are gonna move fast... Of course.

I will call your office and schedule.

Okay. Remember where you were this morning, John.

This is where it all got started. Thank you.

(sighs)

So, you, um... you smoke weed every day, or just

when you're kicking it with the Snoop Dogg, huh?

Do a little... (whistles) Yeah?

Look, as long as you know

when they're going to be doing the drug tests, right,

so you can use a masking agent.

I'm sorry, Tommy. Have you been sitting here long?

So, sale of marijuana is legal under state law,

but not under federal law.

Yeah, and this is interesting why?

Most dispensaries don't accept credit cards.

Sales are in cash, so the night before

they make a deposit, there's a lot of cash on hand.

Yeah, actually, Detective Redundant,

we kind of knew that already. Well, I'd maybe

try and figure out who knows when those deposits get made.

Oh, would you now? We're heading over to the office

Yeah, I think we need to, uh,

Uh, we're setting up for lunch. Can this wait?

No. I'm sorry, honey. PAPPAS: There anything

I can do to convince you I'm not a criminal anymore?

Probably not.

Hey.

There's a real good reason for this, right?

We'll see.

So, you advanced Jamal Hayes $25,000

to get him started in the dispensary business.

So where'd he stand as far as paying it back?

I wasn't worried about it.

That's not what I asked you.

He paid it down about $5,000.

What was the vig? There was no vig.

KILLIAN: That's pretty generous of you.

You could've put that money on the street

and been making three, four points.

I consider Jamal a friend, all right?

I wasn't gonna make that money off him. Hmm, but you did

take a piece of his business.

And he was in on the ground floor as far as

legal marijuana dispensaries, right?

I think he stood to make a good living.

(chuckles) I think he stood to make a killing.

Which means you stood to make a killing.

And if your good friend Jamal

wasn't coming across with a piece of the action,

is it possible that you'd go in there and take it yourself?

That's-that's not what I did, that-that's not what I would do.

KILLIAN: Hmm.

Oh, it looks like you racked up a few moving violations.

And now, there's a warrant.

What were you holding him for, Detective?

I like him for one of the dispensary robberies.

It's a pattern robbery so if you like him

for one, you like him for more than one.

Okay, I like him for more than one.

Based on what?

Based on he loaned a significant amount of money to Jamal Hayes,

had not been paid back, had done time for armed robbery.

And is currently employed

as a cook in your girlfriend's restaurant.

That-That's not why I-I like him.

I think it is, Detective.

And before you make a mistake

that has far greater consequences,

With all due respect, I think that is totally unwarranted.

You're lucky taking you off this case is all I'm doing.

Why is that? We served together.

a while back, he told me

he was going through a bit of a tough time.

I tried to help.

Help him how?

Just spotted him a few bucks.

Let him crash on my couch when he needed to.

Mostly just talked to him.

He give any indication he was doing robberies?

No, but, uh, one time when he was staying over,

he got into my computer.

Probably 'cause I was real sloppy

at the time and then left the website open.

It's all right, Detective.

As far as I'm concerned, you've been chastised sufficiently.

So long as the gentleman you placed in the holding cell

yesterday doesn't file a civil complaint,

I'll consider the matter closed.

Okay?

Okay.

Two of your crew

Your testimony, in all likelihood,

Hey.

All right, it's not an unusual trait among cops.

Take what I know about your life, which isn't a lot,

Mi casa es su casa. Come in.

When I was in Narcotics, we did a lot

of buy-and-busts in South Jamaica.

I know it well.

Even though we targeted heroin and crack cocaine,

if you were selling marijuana, we grabbed you up, too.

Who are you trying to get out of prison?

His name's Jamal Hayes and he's already out.

Because anyone who did time

for marijuana is given priority in the awarding

of marijuana dispensary licenses,

Jamal borrowed money, he set himself up in business,

and he was on his way to making a halfway decent living.

When what happened?

He was robbed.

His inventory was wiped out.

His cash was wiped out to the tune of $85,000.

What do you want to do for him?

I got one of the perps to give up the money.

And you want to return it to Jamal.

Okay.

I just wanted to see

if you'd back me up first.

I will absolutely back you up.

Thank you, Chief.

Hi.

How long have you been waiting out there?

Uh, not long. I just wanted to catch you

before you left for the day.

I guess you want an answer.

I kind of need one.

If what you're looking for from me is information,

with certain limitations,

I'm willing to provide it.

I mean, it makes so much sense if somebody's running for mayor

they'd want to be...

as informed as possible.

What kind of limitations?

If it compromises an ongoing investigation

or, if in my judgement, for whatever reason,

it shouldn't be shared, then it won't be.

I don't think I can sell that.

And I assume that if you can't,

uh, I won't be asked a second time.

That's the way it usually works.

And whomever imposes no limitations

and no conditions,

they'll be our next police commissioner.

They'll want it more than you do.

No doubt there's another candidate.

(chuckles)

There always is.

Tell Raymond there are things that I'll do.

There are things that I won't do.

And I will live with whatever he decides.

Okay.

85 grand.

Oh, my God.

You didn't deserve to go to prison

and you didn't deserve to get robbed.

I didn't expect someone to make it right though.

Whatever we can make right, we should.

I'm gonna have an officer

escort you to the bank, 'cause I wouldn't want

to see you get robbed a second time.

(laughs) No, we don't want that.

No.

Take care.

Thank you, Inspector.

Yeah.

All right.

Thanks.

What's the story with those boots?

Those are Vonny Briggs's boots. That was his locker.

How'd he die? He got out of his RMP

another driver who had broken down.

Got run over by another driver.

I stayed out of the shop a lot longer than I had to, Marvin.

When was that?

Today at that dispensary.

I went out to the car to get my phone
