I tried, boy.

I chased them the whole time

- Mostly heroin, right?

Also bootleg pharmaceuticals.

You remember when
some people died

from Xanax cut with fentanyl?

That was the Santiagos
selling that.

All right,
preliminary report from ME

puts all four deaths

on Ecstasy cut with fentanyl.

That's definitely them 'cause
they dropped the price of heroin

to the point where they were
practically giving it away.

Enough people got strung out,

they shoot the price back up

and all these poor junkies,
they did what...

whatever they had to do
to buy it.

Everyone in attendance
was questioned?

What about commercial tenants
on the ground floor?

And building maintenance--

has there been any history

of drug dealing
in nearby locations?

And don't forget to ask...

Oh, I got to go.
I got to go.

Morning, everybody.

We have Brooklyn North here

for today's CompStat.
Let's get started.

There's a lot to talk about.

Deputy Inspector Haywood,

7-4's up first.

Good morning, Deputy Inspector.

Good morning, Chiefs.

You've had a drop
in burglaries,

but a significant
increase in robberies.

What are we doing
about that?

I've analyzed my robbery
incidents by type,

by location, by tour,

by day of the week. I am
prepared to discuss

- in detail.
- Let's stay on a macro level

for right now. We can
dive into detail a little later.

Uh, Chief, before
you go much further,

would you mind if I interject
a couple of questions?

- Not at all.
- Inspector, it's all

well and good to talk about
what you're doing.

I'd like to talk about
what you're not doing.

I'm sure there are
a great many things

that fall under that heading.

According to my information,
you have decided

to stop enforcing
quality-of-life crimes,

is that right?

That's not true
across the board.

Is it true
partway across the board?

HAYWOOD:
As you know,

police commanders

can establish
their own priorities.

And currently, at the 7-4.

those things don't include

selling loose cigarettes,
alcohol in public

or going after vendors.

Well, I'm just not clear
on where you think

your authority to make
that determination comes from.

Again, it's less of
an official policy

and more so realignment
of priorities.

Inspector, let's not play games.

Whether you call it
a policy or priority,

the effect is the same.

And I want to know
under what departmental

regulations do you derive the
authority to make that call?

Chief, uh, I think I can
shed some light on that.

DONALDSON:
With all due respect, the answers today

should be coming from
Inspector Haywood,

- not from you.
- No, I understand that, Chief Donaldson,

but, uh, the realignment
of priorities

wasn't arrived at
by Inspector Haywood.

It came about through
extensive discussions--

data-driven discussions,
I might add--

that I specifically requested

from all of my Brooklyn North commanders.

HAYWOOD:
But I am more than happy

to answer whatever questions
you have, Chief Donaldson.

[exhales]

What's the morale like
at the 7-4 these days?

- [quietly]: Oh, man.
- HAYWOOD: Well, it varies depending on

the day and the
individual officer

that you're talking about.

Would it surprise you
to learn that

I've had conversations
with officers at the 7-4

who tell me that morale
is at an all-time low?

You know, Chief,
with all due respect,

I'd say that was a cheap shot.

Take it easy there,
Chief Suarez.

You and I, we can
walk into any precinct

in this city right now
and we can find cops

who claim that morale is bad,

are unhappy or they're

pissed off and some of them have

good reason and
some of them don't.

But we don't call the commanding
officers on the carpet

and make them answer

- for that!
- HAYWOOD: I want to stress

that I am
perfectly willing to do so.

Deputy Inspector, I'm
guessing that with the four

drug overdoses
this morning,

you have more
pressing matters

to attend to.
I'm going to adjourn

this meeting until 5:00
this afternoon.

Hopefully that will allow
the temperature in the room

to come down a few degrees.

CORINNE:
Why are they

making me out
to be a bad person?

Because they can.

Okay? Because
it sells newspapers.

Listen, I got to go.

We had four drug
fatalities last night.

It's always something
with you, isn't it?

I can't take
a day off, Corinne.

Yeah, me neither.

Look, I am really stressed
about this.

I need some advice
on how to deal with it.

Well, what does
the ex-felon say?

Are you just always
gonna call him that?

What would you like
for me to call him?

- George. That is his name.
- That is his name.

Okay, um, look, if I catch
a break around dinnertime,

I'll-I'll come back.

Whatever.

Corinne, I have to go.

So go. Just go to your
drug fatalities.

Wow.
You're mean.

[scoffs]

Tommy...

Now is not the best time
for us to talk about it.

Well, whether it is

or it is not, Inspector...

YENKO:
Hey, Chief.

...now is the time
we're gonna talk about it.

- You knew I was prepared.
- You were prepared.

You were prepared
for legitimate questions.

You weren't prepared
for Donaldson

trying to make
some kind of audition tape

- for the mayor.
- What does that mean?

Donaldson,

maneuvering to be
chief of department.

He wants to be looked at
as, uh, old-school and-and tough

and paint me to be
some kind of woke

- diversity hire.
- You?

He sees me as his rival.
He goes after you

hoping that
I'm gonna jump in

and then...
he got both of us.

That being the case, maybe
it would have been better

if you hadn't jumped in.

- [grunts] He pissed me off!
- All right.

Well, then, maybe next time

you let me handle it
for the both of us.

- I will try to remember that.
- All right.

I know what it is.

- I'm sorry.
- It's okay, it's...

I'm listening to the playlist
from DJ Authentic

from, uh, last night
at the loft party.

And what really stood out
is that the lyrics mention

drug dealing locations.

They've been doing that
for a while, Stan.

Oh, well, forgive me.

I've never been in Narcotics,

but I'd never realized
the specificity of it.

Listen, like these,
uh, uh, playgrounds

on Pennsylvania Avenue,

a bo-bodega on Myrtle,

Uh, there's, um...

"N-word"-- I'm not gonna

"N-word, nothing

"I got my plug working at

If I was you, I'd be worried.

Worried about what?

KILLIAN:
That we find out you were doing

more than just spinning
records last night.

That's all I was doing there.

A boss is here from
DEA, Inspector.

Inspector. Arliss Gruen,

special agent in charge,
Drug Enforcement Administration.

- How do you do?
- I understand

you had
four fatalities

- last night.
- All under the age of 20.

Three were in college,
one just graduated.

Well, given what's on
the street, it's a safe bet

they were all from fentanyl.

We got hold of a recording
that shows a member

of the Santiago Family present.

I'm guessing... We know all about
the Santiagos.

Their operations don't extend
much beyond Brooklyn.

Their operations
were responsible

for the deaths
of four young people

who had their entire future... I have no objection

to you going after the Santiagos
for that at some point.

I would just ask you,
hold off for the present.

Why is that?

Because we're going after
a Mexican drug cartel

which, in all likelihood,
was responsible for bringing

the fentanyl into
the United States

and supplying the Santiagos.

It's possible one of
the Santiagos could be flipped.

I don't need them to flip.

I've got an undercover
that's gotten close to them.

Sean Dryden.

Your cops arrested him
on a traffic stop.

If your agent's gotten
close to the Santiagos,

we can bring them down

- without blowing his cover.
- My sights are set on way

bigger targets than the
Santiagos, Inspector.

Now I need
my undercover released

and I need your assurance

that you're gonna hold off
on anything else.

I'll take care of releasing
your undercover,

but four people were killed
in my precinct this morning,

Would you mind
stepping out for a moment?

Sure.

I just had a visit

Who's that?

It's okay, Agent Dryden--
or whatever your name is--

I've been fully briefed.

Gruen always gets

You saw those four kids die
last night, right?

Mm-hmm.

Gruen's asking that I not go
after those responsible.

Yeah.

he wants to take down
a cartel in Sinaloa

so he can have a photo op

- on the border.
- What about you? what do you want?

I don't usually get asked that.

But since you're asking...

...I want to get the hell
out of undercover world.

How long's it been?

- Two and a half years.
- That's a long time

to be somebody
- other than yourself. - Long enough

for you to forget
who yourself even is.

How is it that
bodyguarding a DJ

gets you so close
to the Santiagos?

The Santiagos
move a lot of drugs

in the party circuit.

In clubs.

How do you think
they get the drugs in there?

Right.
[scoffs]

They never check the DJ.Mm-hmm.

Put it in the DJ cases
and they wave you right in.

Well, I don't take my orders

from Special Agent
in Charge Gruen,

so I will be going
after the Santiagos

because the people
who were killed

were killed in East New York.

But best of luck to you
in Sinaloa.

We're not busting
any cartels in Sinaloa.

We don't have the assets
to take them on.

There's no coordination with
the Mexican law enforcement.

It's a mess.

So you're walking away from
a bust you could pull off

in favor of one
that you can't?

It's not my decision.

So, then don't worry about it.

Hey, I watched
those four kids die.

you think that didn't
have an effect on me?

What time can you set
the meeting for?

How's 3:00?

Good.

Once you're there,
if there are narcotics present--

and only if you see
that they're present--

you're to signal
your backup.

At that point, we'll have
probable cause to go in.

You used to be in Narcotics.

You look me up?

Of course.

You didn't look me up?

You can tell your boss

at the DEA that you were
with the Santiagos

as part of your
normal undercover work,

you jammed up anyway.

Wouldn't be the first time
I've been jammed up.

You could get fired.

GRUEN:
So,

you're running your own personal
police department, Inspector?

We had an opportunity
to shut down

a major source of a drug that is

killing people.

I wouldn't waste it.

An undercover calls in
a tip, because why?

There's drugs in plain sight.

What, that's the first time
there were drugs in plain sight?

Maybe it had something to do
with the investigation

of four fatalities
this morning.

Those four fatalities
were none of his business.

And I don't mind telling you,

Agent Dryden
is in a world of hurt.

Agent Dryden lent
his assistance,

took the risk

in apprehending

those responsible.

Seems to me he would
be deserving of praise.

I think the DEA will determine
what we do with Agent Dryden,

without your input.

I don't get what
you feel you lost.

Dryden hasn't
blown his cover.

He was arrested
along with everyone else.

Agent Dryden is my asset,

not yours.

He belongs to me.

That's what this is about--

who gets to give the order.

[chuckles]

It's a big, wide world
out there, Inspector.

It's a damn shame
you just don't see that.

No. I do see it, Agent Gruen.

At the point
at which we left off,

you were saying
that morale wasn't a problem,

that disregarding enforcement

of qualify-of-life regulations
was your prerogative.

And since then,
it has come to my attention

that you disregarded

the explicit directive

of the Special Agent
in Charge

of an undercover operation
for the DEA.

I wouldn't say I disregarded
it as much as I...

felt the need
to take circumstances

under consideration.

Do you recognize
the need for good order

and discipline, Inspector?

- Yes, I do.
- Just so long as you get

- what you want.
- So long

as it serves and protects

the people in my precinct.

Well, tell me, just
how does your version

of good order and discipline
do that?

A raid was conducted
this afternoon

by the Drug Enforcement Administration,

acting in coordination with
the detectives from the 7-4.

Arrests were made.

280 pounds

of fentanyl pills and
powder were confiscated.[murmuring]

I believe that the
success of the operation

was a direct result

of good order and discipline.

Well done, Inspector.

- Thank you, Chief.
- MAN: Outstanding work, Inspector.

Thank you.
