REPORTER: The fire at this\NNYPD evidence warehouse

began in the early\Nmorning hours.

The Queens facility houses\Nevidence critical

to both current and past cases.

While the cause\Nof the blaze is under

investigation, it's clear this

represents a massive blow...

Hell of a mess.\NPhones haven't stopped ringing.

It's every detective\Nin the city calling to see

if their perp just scored\Na "get out of jail free" card.

I just hope none of the evidence

from our cases was stored\Nin that facility.

Well, right now there's one case\Nat the top of that list.

Come on.

This is a developing story.

I just got a call\Nfrom the federal prosecutors

on the Zaragozas' case.

Sounds like bad news.

The DNA evidence\Nlinking Diego Rodriguez

to those 7 Ace Double Trey\Nhomicides?

Destroyed in that fire.

But it was\Nalready tested, right?

No, the lab screwed up.\NThey never tested it.

They never even\Nordered the test.

Without that evidence...

The head of the Zaragoza cartel

could go free.\NYeah.

So, what's the game plan?

We got to find some way\Nto connect Rodriguez

to those murders.

(indistinct chatter)

Hey.

Abetemarco.

You guys come up with anything\Non the canvas?

No one saw\Nthe suspect exit the store.

A name perp committed\Na robbery here last week.

Yeah, Freddie James.

We already questioned him\Nat the squad.

And?\NDon't have enough to hold him.

I'm telling you, he's your guy.

Leave your number.\NI'll keep you posted.

I appreciate it, pal, thanks.

No problem.

Freddie James, get your hand\Nout of your pocket.

I already talked to the cops.

You got some pair of balls\Nhanging out around here.

I had nothing to do\Nwith that guy getting killed.

You're a damn liar.

Arrest me, then.

Now get the hell out of here.

Didn't think so.\NYeah, beat it. Now.

CROWD:\NNo justice, no peace!

No justice, no peace!

No justice,\Nno peace!

No justice, no peace!

(clamoring continuing)

Hey.\NHey, let it go.

OFFICER:\NGuy chucked a\Nbottle at me.

Are you kidding me?\NAnti-cop protesters

are always looking\Nto provoke a fight.

Orders are

to avoid one.

Yeah!\N(clamoring continues)

I'm gonna head back to my post.

CROWD:\NNo justice, no peace!

No justice, no peace!

You better keep walking.

What are you gonna\Ndo, shoot me?

I told you to take a...

All right, all right, okay,\Nthat's it, you're under arrest.

Hey! Get off me!\NOkay.

Hands behind your back.\NOw!

(screaming)

She's assaulting me!

I need a bus at 15th\Nand Union Square West.

(crying)

(indistinct chatter)

Fire Marshal Chieco?

Take a number.\NSergeant Reagan, Intel Division.

I'm coordinating\Nthe NYPD investigation

into the cause of the fire.

Uh-huh.\NWanted to let you know

I look forward to partnering\Nwith you on this.

Excuse me, Chief.

Look, Reagan.

Arson investigations\Nare FDNY turf.

We've got the experience\Nand the expertise.

I respect that.\NDetails will be

shared with the NYPD\NArson/Explosion Team

on a need-to-know-basis.

Here's what you need\Nto know, Marshal.

All the evidence collected\Nat this site

by the FDNY will be processed

at the NYPD crime lab.\NMeaning?

Meaning the FDNY\Nwill receive exactly

the cooperation it provides.

I don't appreciate\Nyour tactics, Sergeant.

This isn't\Nabout tactics.

This is about the decades\Nof NYPD blood,

sweat and tears mixed in with\Nthe ashes of this warehouse.

I intend to find out\Nwhat happened here.

A joint investigation.

I look forward\Nto working with you.

Anti-cop rally\Nin Union Square

this morning.\NYou're looking

at Officer Edit Janko's\Nbody cam.

GORMLEY:\NLook clean to me, boss.

He says predictably.

The protester's in the ER

complaining\Nof a resulting neck injury.

Flopping like one of them\NWorld Cup soccer players.

Dozens of cell phones caught it.

All the outlets have it.

Including the moments before\Nher body cam was activated?

That I don't know.

Well, that's what's\Ngonna tell the tale.

Come on, guys.\NCome on, what, Sid?

When do we take a stand\Nand say enough?

Enough of every cop\Nis just

a short fuse waiting to be lit?

I hear you, Sid, but you got...

I know, I know,\NI'm a broken record.

But, come on, Eddie Janko?

I mean,\Nwhere do we draw the line?

Not our line to draw, Sid.

Are you suggesting she be pulled\Nfrom active duty?

No.\NThe evidence is inconclusive.

Even by the harshest light.

Officer Janko should\Nremain on full duty.

I have Officer Janko, sir.

You do?

Okay.

We'll give you the room.\NHold on a minute.

Do we need the room?

That's up to you, sir.\NIt's your room.

They'll stay.

Well, please.

So, we've been talking\Nabout you.

Yeah, I wanted to discuss\Nthe incident at the protest.

Yeah, we just did.

I'm sure there's, uh, pressure

to place me on modified duty.

Well...

I should be modified.

I have to be, for all our good.

Did you use excessive force?

No, sir.

Have you lost faith\Nin our ability

to conduct a fair investigation?

Not at all.

Then I'm at a loss here,\NOfficer.

If I stay on full duty, it'll\Nprove I have a hook in One PP.

And I don't want that.

That decision lies with the PC.

And I've made mine.

May I speak freely?

Haven't you been?

You go out of your way\Nnot to show favoritism

to anyone in the family.

Well, I try.

Perception\Nout there's different.

Well, I can't worry about that.

But I have to.

Being your family\Nplays like

a leg up and a free pass\Nto the vast majority of cops.

Who don't know you\Nand don't know me.

And they never will.

Look.

I don't give my family\Nspecial treatment.

But I also don't subject 'em\Nto special condemnation.

I know you wouldn't\Nkeep me on patrol

if you didn't think\Nit was the right thing to do.

Yeah, so what's going on here?

I'm protecting my reputation.

I have to err\Non the side of caution here.

Even if that means\NI'm gonna ride a desk

until this whole thing\Nblows over.

That's the price.

(door opens)

(door closes)

I don't know.

* *

I appreciate you\Ncoming, Detective.

Guess bad news\Ntravels fast, huh?

I assumed you'd be more\Ncareful with your evidence.

Me, too.

Look, if you asked me here

to rub my nose in it,\NI got stuff to do.

Quite the opposite.

I wanted to apologize.

Come again?

Things got very personal\Nbetween us.

The threat to your sons' lives?

I had nothing\Nto do with that.

Hmm, well,\Nyou're a real saint, thanks.

I'm a businessman.

No, you're a drug dealer.

And you murder anyone\Nwho gets in your way.

Those gang members who died...

Who were executed\Nunder your orders.

...they all had\Nlong criminal records.

Violent men.

We both know the world's\Na lot safer without them.

Well, what about\Nall the innocent people who die

from your poison?

Is the world a lot safer\Nwithout them?

I make a clean product.

If my distributors alter it\Nto increase their profits,

they suffer the consequences.

Right, like the ADTs.

Well...\N(laughs)

I was speaking hypothetically.\NLook,

if you got something to say,\Njust say it.

I got work to do.

Like keeping me in prison?

You're damn right.

I respect your determination,

Detective.

You know,

you remind me a lot of myself.

I'm nothing like you.

You didn't threaten\Nthe lives of my daughters

to get what you wanted?

But that's in the past.

Like your case against me.

A word of advice.

Let it go.

¿Me entiendes?

(lock buzzes)

(latch clicks)\NGUARD: Let's go.

(indistinct chatter)

There you are.

Do you have the list\Nof salvageable cases?

I'm working on it.

What's, what's wrong?

Remember Matthew Lassiter?

The guy that you helped\Nwith his dispensary license?

Yeah.

I stopped by to see him\Nthis morning.

Okay, and how is he?

He's dead.

What?

He got shot in his store.

Oh, my God. What happened?

Must have been the same prick\Nthat robbed him last week

making sure\NMatthew couldn't ID him.

Any surveillance video?

Kept his back to the camera.\NWitnesses?

Customer in the shop says\Nshe didn't see the shooter.

And believe me,\Nyou would remember him.

Freddie James.

He's been terrorizing that\Nneighborhood for a month.

Well... I'm sure\Nthe cops will catch him.

All the same, I'd like a little\Ntime to help make this right.

Anthony, we're in crisis\Nright now.

Every hour that goes by,\Nmore defendants

are gonna be released.

Look, this guy lost\Nthree years of his life

in jail for something\Nthat is legal now.

And then he\Ntook a bullet

for trying to make\Nan honest living?

I just can't let this go.

Okay, catch him fast.

Thanks, I owe you one.\NYeah.

I'll put it on your tab.

Martin Hughes?

I'm Sergeant Reagan.

That didn't take long.\NI'm sorry?

Got to blame\Nthis fire on someone.

Why not\Nthe warehouse supervisor?

I just want to ask\Nsome questions.\NSave you the trouble.

This was a disaster\Nwaiting to happen.

I kept asking\Nfor the resources to make

this place safe,\Nthe answer was always no.

If you know\Nhow the fire started...

I'm done talking.

I'm not gonna give them\Nany more rope to hang me with.

I'd like to talk to your staff.

Free country.

(sighs)

He was like that\Nbefore the fire, too.

I'm Sergeant Reagan.

Bradley Loomis. I work\Nthe night shift.

Or, at least, I did.

Were you in the warehouse\Nwhen the fire started?\NYeah.

The flames were everywhere.\NI barely made it out.

You were lucky.

Did the sprinkler\Nsystems engage?

No. So, Martin's\Nright about the warehouse

needing major upgrades.

And did you see\Nanything suspicious

in the hours\Nbefore the fire?

I've gone over it in my mind.

It was just a normal night.

Okay. Well, um, if you\Nrecall anything...

I've worked in this\Nplace for 22 years.

Protecting this evidence,\Nit meant everything to me.

We're gonna find who did this.

MAN:\NDid you get that money\NI sent you last week?

WOMAN:\NYeah, I got it.

MAN: Okay.\NWOMAN: I appreciate it.

You Moses?

Sit down.

Appreciate you seeing me.

Most cops don't call ahead.

They just break the door down.

My guys'll do that if\Nyou try anything funny

while I'm in here.

I'll cut\Nto the chase...

I know why you're here.

You do?

Diego Rodriguez\Nis about to walk,

and you need me to help\Nyou keep him in prison.

We saw him walk in here\Nthe day before

seven of your men were executed.

We had business.

He make any threatening\Nstatements during that business?

If he did,

I wouldn't tell you.

Seven ADTs were executed\Non your watch.

You give up Rodriguez,\Nyou even the score.

You think the Zaragozas\Nwould make a move like that

on their own and start a war?

You're saying you\Nokayed the execution

of seven of your own men?

I'm saying there are rules\Nto our business with the cartel.

Yeah, I know.\NNo cutting the product.

Those who broke the rules\Npaid the price.

And you stay in business\Nwith the cartel.

Thanks for your time.

You won't draft\Nan arrest warrant

for Freddie James?

I read the report.\NThere's not enough evidence

to arrest him for\Nkilling Matthew Lassiter.

That's why\NI need the warrant.

Couple hours\Nin the box

with this guy,\Nand he'll confess.

With or without a rubber hose?

James had motive\Nto kill Matthew.

Motive alone is not enough,\Nand you know it.

Find something solid,

and I will seek\Nan arrest warrant.

Until then, I need you\Nback in the office.

I need some more time.

Anthony, we are

hemorrhaging prosecutions here.

Listen, this prick killed\NMatthew Lassiter,

and if he stays on the street,\Nhe's gonna kill someone else.

Okay, I understand you two\Nwere friends.

Yeah, like you're\Nsupposed to be.

I see that you're pissed off,\Nbut you need to get in line.

There are people\Nall over this city

finding out the justice\Nthat they thought they had

went up in flames,\Nand it is our job

to save as many of\Nthese cases as possible.

This can't be personal.

Well, it's personal to me.

(sighs)

Officer Janko, sir.

Let's have her.

Do I salute if I'm in civvies?

Dealer's choice.

Not necessary. Have a seat.

How are you\Nholding up?

Mm, better now.

Cleared by the department,

and the D.A. refused\Nto press charges.

All good news.

Yeah.

Apparently not.

Well, there's\Nbeen a complication.

That loon\Nyou arrested

filed a civil lawsuit\Nagainst the city.

You've got to be kidding.

She's seeking\N$2 million in damages.

She resisted arrest.\NIt's been gone over.

And still, I barely touched her.

We know.

She claims she is incapacitated\Nfrom the neck injury.

Okay.

Well, I've been cleared twice.

There's no reason to think

I won't be cleared again, right?

Well, that's\Nthe complicated part.

GORMLEY:\NDue to the lawsuit,

the Civilian\NComplaint Review Board

will review the excessive\Nforce allegation.

You have the power to\Noverride that, right?

I do.

You still believe\NI'm innocent, right?

I do.

But it presents a conflict\Nof interest for me,

as you correctly pointed out.

(sighs) So I will have to\Nabide by their decision.

Everyone knows CCRB is anti-cop.

You will have\Ndepartment counsel,

and the evidence is\Nstrongly on your side.

But you won't be.

I will be in spirit.

Wait, if just CCRB\Nsays I crossed the line,

I could lose my job?

Boss, we both know\Nthis lawsuit is bogus.

Then it will go away.

But it still gives CCRB\Na shot to take her down

for spite.

Boss, why don't we put\Na TARU team on this "victim,"

and see if she's really hurt.

Would you do that if I wasn't\Na member of the family?

Did you really expect\Nthe head of the ADTs

to give up Rodriguez?

It was worth a try.

There's nothing here

that ties him\Nto the crime scene.

No physical\Nevidence,

no eyewitnesses.

There were two surveillance\Ncameras on the block,

though they were disabled.

Zaragoza hit men are pros.

But one of them screwed up.

Juan Carlos Lopez.

El Demonio. Real psycho.

They lifted his print off\Na shell casing at the scene.

He's doing life.

But he refused

to identify Rodriguez\Nas his accomplice.

True, but maybe\Nafter a year inside,

they can make him an offer\Nhe can't refuse.

(scoffs)\NThat's a long shot, Danny.

Well, all we've got\Nis long shots.

It's worth a try.\NThe clock's ticking.

(knocking on door)

Mrs. Carter?

I'm Detective Abetemarco.

Can I help you?\NHope so.

I wanted to talk to you about\Nthe murder at the dispensary.

It was horrible.

Matthew was a wonderful person.

And do you shop in there a lot?

I have neuropathy.

It really helps me\Nwith the pain.

And you were in the shop\Nwhen Matthew was killed?

I was holding his hand\Nwhen he died.

You told the detective\Nyou didn't see the shooter?

I took cover when\NI heard the shots,

and when I got up, he was gone.

I'm hungry, Mama.

Okay, baby,\NI'll be right there.

Okay.

The guy who killed Matthew\Nis still out there.

We need someone to come forward

and identify him.

I'd like to help you, but...

Look, you're scared.

I get it, the guy is dangerous.

But I'm sure\Nyou don't want him

hurting somebody else.

Look, I'm sorry\Nto have bothered you.

Wait.

Okay.

I'll identify him.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Yeah, the place\Nis nearly a total loss.

Whatever the fire\Ndidn't destroy,

the water we used,\Nit finished the job.

Any progress on the cause?

Whoever torched\Nthis place

knew exactly what\Nthey were doing.

Could point to\Na crime organization.

ADTs, mafia,\Ndrug cartel.

Yeah, that's\Nwhat we thought,

but the incendiary device we\Nfound was pretty primitive.

Homemade?

Yeah, stuff\Nyou can find

at any hardware\Nstore or online.

What about the sprinkler system?

It was functional,\Nbut disabled.

All of which could\Npoint to an inside job.\NYeah,

that's why I'm\Ncounting on your team

to figure out who around here

wanted to see this place burn.

(indistinct P.A. announcements)

Make it fast.

I don't want anybody seeing me\Ntalking to no damn cop.

You think\NI want someone

to see me hanging\Nout with you?

But here you are.

You heard about\Nthe warehouse fire?

It's like Christmas\Nup in here.\NYeah.

And Rodriguez, he got a real\Nnice Christmas present.

He's a lucky man.\NYeah,

he's on his way back\Nto his villa in Mexico

while you sit here and rot away\Nfor the rest of your life

for murders\Nhe ordered you to commit.

I don't know nothing about that.

You can pretend you don't know\Nwhat I'm talking about,

but we both know it doesn't\Nhave to be this way.

I swore an oath\Nto the Zaragozas.

A cop...

just wouldn't understand.

You think Rodriguez would\Nkeep his oath for you?

We're done.

Time served, no extradition.

Federal protection.

All wrapped up\Nwith a pretty bow.

Don't you think you\Ndeserve a present, too?

Is that from the Feds?

Yeah.

It's a one-time offer,

and it will not\Ncome around again.

If you get that in writing...

I'll give you Rodriguez.

All you got to do\Nis tell me

if you see the guy\Nwho shot Matthew Lassiter.

I understand.

You ready?

You recognize anyone?

It happened so fast.

Okay.\NTake your time.

No rush.

I'm sorry.\NI don't recognize anyone.

Listen, listen.

Why don't you just\Ngive yourself a minute?

I can't do this.

I've done\Na lot of these,

and I think you\Nspotted the shooter.

I was walking Amy home\Nfrom school today,

and that monster came up to us.

He threatened you?

He said Amy was\Na beautiful girl,

and it would be a shame\Nif something happened to her.

Look, he's just\Ntrying to scare you.

Well, it worked.

I want to help you,

but I can't have this guy\Ncoming after my kid.

I'm impressed.

(chuckles) You learn a few\Ntricks over the years.

I just wish I could\Nsave more of this stuff.

What'll you do after the\Nsalvage operation is over?

I've been assigned to\Na warehouse in Red Hook.

(sighs) It won't be the same.

You put a lot of years\Ninto this place.

Anyone have reason\Nenough to act out?

Are you asking me if one of\Nthem might have set the fire?

We're examining\Nevery possibility.

Look, I know these people.

All the more reason\NI thought you might be able

to point me in\Nthe right direction.

I'm really not comfortable\Nmaking accusations.

I know it's tough.

I also know you understand

the incredible damage\Nthat was done here.

Martin Hughes?

He was recently suspended

for altering time cards.

He was furious, making threats.

What kind of threats?

He said they messed\Nwith the wrong guy,

that he...

felt like burning\Nthe place to the ground.

Real tough spot.

This lawsuit's\Ngot Eddie in a box.

I'm not just\Nthinking about Eddie.

Pop, if the CCRB wants\Nher gone and I overrule them,

I'd be right, but it\Nwould stink to high heaven.

And she sure as hell\Ndoesn't want that.

Reminds me of when you\Nwere getting your gold shield.

I didn't know\Nthat was a problem.

'Cause I never told you.

On merit,

you were the top candidate,

but you were also the\Nyoungest guy on the list

by a good five years.

With the same last name.\NYeah.

Chief of D's wanted me\Nto put your name on the grid,

wait a couple of years.

But?

But I had a rule\Nwhen it came to you.

There was never a hook,

but there was\Nnever a sinker, either.

But in this case?\NIn these times?

Come on.

I saw the bodycam footage.

This "victim" could\Nwin an Oscar.

Yeah, she's sued the city twice\Nand settled both times.

Huh. Nice work\Nif you can get it.

Yeah, in this case,\Nthe victim is the perp

and our cop is the victim.

But not if we can prove

that this woman\Nis the grifter she is.

Well, Sid wanted to put\Nsurveillance on her.

Smart move.

Well, I denied the request.

Why the hell would you do that?

Because any evidence\Ncollected by the department

and okayed by me\Nwould be immediately suspect,

and rightly so.

And like you said, "no hook."

I also said "no sinker, either."

Well, I'm not going to do that.

Got to hand it\Nto you, Reagan.

I can't believe you\Ngot Lopez to flip.

Well, it's 'cause\Nyou doubted me.

No, never. You still\Nhad to sell it, though.

Yeah. Did you\Nthink I wouldn't?

(phone ringing)\NIt's what I do.

Can't wait to see\NRodriguez's face

when he finds out his top\Nassassin flipped on him.

Reagan.

Yeah.

When?

Okay.

What is it?

They found Lopez\Ndead in his cell.

(sighs)

Back where we started.

Yeah.

I should've\Nseen it coming.

Lopez getting killed\Nisn't on you, Danny.

I know, but I should've\Nhad the statement there

and ready for him to sign.

There's no way the Feds\Ncould turn around

a cooperation agreement\Nthat fast.

I still could've put him\Ninto solitary or something.

The Zaragozas still\Ncould have gotten to him.

What gets to me is Rodriguez,

walking around\Nlike he's untouchable.

Above the law.\NI'm starting to think he is.

If he walks,\Nwe'll catch him again.

And how many people\Nhave to die in the meantime?

Look, I get it.

Most perps kill\Nas a last resort,

but guys like Rodriguez,

that's where they start.

Right.

And that's exactly how we're\Ngonna nail this bastard.

JAMIE:\NAppreciate you\Ncoming in.

Didn't seem like\NI had much choice.

I'm just trying to\Nget some information.

In my experience, usually means\Nit's time to get a lawyer.

Yeah, what experience is that?

I'm guessing you checked\Nmy personnel folder.

Along with everyone else's\Nwho's worked in that warehouse.

I'm the only one who\Ngot suspended recently.

And from what I hear, you were\Npretty pissed off about that.

Where'd you hear that?

Most people would be.

I altered time cards.\NI got what I had coming.

Why'd you do it?

One of my clerks\Nis going through chemo.

Money is tight.

So, when he couldn't\Nmake it in...

You punched his time card.

I deserved that suspension,

but I'd do the same thing again.

That sounds like you\Ntake care of your people.

We all got problems.

Any of your people got problem\Nenough to light a match?

When I got\Npromoted to supervisor,

there was another guy who\Nthought he deserved the job.

This guy ever make any threats?

Yeah, but I figured he was\Njust blowing off steam.

Or blowing smoke.

(camera shutter clicking)

Any word from CCRB?

They are reviewing\Nthe evidence.\NOh.

Bunch of mice\Nchasing their tails.

What'd your\Nlawyer say?

(scoffs)\NThat it's a bad time

to be accused\Nof police brutality.

Well, is it true\NCCRB hates cops?

Well, I wonder where\Nyou learned that.

They do have\Na legitimate

oversight role.

Oversight on something\Nthey do not understand.

Or even try to understand.

JAMIE:\NIt's a civilian-run board,

but they gave the PC\Npower over them.

Which doesn't help\NEddie in this case.

ERIN:\NWell, welcome to\Nthe club, Eddie.

I mean, I'm proud\Nto be a Reagan,

but sometimes, when it comes\Nto the job, it is a pain.

Mm.

I almost didn't get my intel gig

because my boss\Nwas afraid that One PP

would be looking over\Nhis shoulder.

Which it wasn't,\Nisn't, and won't.

Still, I'm in\Nhis position,

I understand\Nasking the question.

When I first started\Nat the D.A.'s office,

I had a supervisor who\Nrefused to assign any cases

where the defendants were a cop.

They thought you'd\Ngo easy on them?

(sighs) You know,\NPC's daughter, appearances,

blah-blah-blah.

So, what did you do?

I told her that if she\Ndoubted my objectivity,

then maybe she should fire me.

Ooh.

Clearly, that didn't happen.

You pretty much\Nrun the place now.

Well, I did promise\Nto recuse myself

if any of you got arrested.

Just when we needed you most?

Right.

You wouldn't hide\Na little evidence

to help tip the scale?

Well, you know, for you?\NProbably. But for Danny...

Really nice.

Well, let's hope we never\Nhave to test that.

Yeah.

When I made detective,\NI had a boss

who everyone was certain\Nwas giving me special treatment.

Best tours, best cases.

And?

He was. They were right.

He was so worried

that I'd go whining to Dad,

he basically worked\Nmy cases for me.

Captain Albright, I recall.

Captain "Not All Bright"\Nis how we referred to him.

I transferred\Nout of there,

and he put in his papers.\NHe retired

and became a plumber's\Ncontractor or something.

Yeah, he always was kind of...

Full of it?

You got that right.

A.D.A. Chu's asking\Nabout the Riley case.

Lab still had the perp's hoodie.

Got a positive DNA match.

Great.

Heard your witness, uh,

couldn't identify Freddie James.

More like wouldn't.

Well, she was in\Na difficult position.

Yeah.

So what're you gonna do now?

I'm gonna get\Na fresh cup of coffee,

and then I'm gonna work my way

through that\Nstack of files.

I meant about the Lassiter case.

There is no case.

You said so yourself.

So you're just gonna give up?

We're hemorrhaging\Ncases, remember?

Yeah, and I also\Nremember you saying that

if Freddie James stays\Non the streets,

someone else will get killed.

And you told me

not to take it personally.

Since when have you\Never listened to me?

(lock buzzes)

Always good to see you,\NDetective.

So, you had Lopez killed, huh?

Prison is a violent place.\NI won't miss it.

You're not going anywhere.

My lawyers tell me different.

Well, Lopez admitted\Nyou gave the order

to have seven ADTs executed.

It's a shame he won't be around\Nto testify in court.

That is a shame.\NHe won't be around.

But I will.

Anything Lopez\Ntold you is hearsay.

And inadmissible.

That's exactly what I thought.

That is, until the assistant\NU.S. attorneys working your case

told me that there are\Nexceptions to that rule.

You're bluffing.

23 exceptions, in fact,

just to Federal Hearsay\NRule 803 alone. Imagine that.

You never give up.

Even when you should.

Maybe, but when those\Nprosecutors get me on the stand,

put me in front of that jury--

me, a decorated NYPD detective

and deputized\Nfederal law officer--

well, I'm gonna tell them\Nall about you,

and when I do,

it's gonna be adios, my friend.

I'll see you in court.

(engine starts)

(tires screeching)

(sirens wailing)

NYPD! Freeze! Do not move!

Hands behind your head!\N(over loudspeaker): Don't move!

OFFICER:\NHands! Hands!

Danny? Danny, are you okay?

You know, you guys really\Ntook your sweet time.

You scared the heck out of me.\NThat is not funny.

Sorry.\NIt's not funny.

I'm sorry.\N(sighs)

You said to wait\Nuntil they opened fire.

Yeah, but not that long.

Remind me to\Nthank Fleet Services

for these bullet-resistant\Ndoors. They actually work.

Well...

there was one casualty, though.

That could've\Nbeen your head.

Could've been.\NBut my plan was right.

Yeah.

How did you know Rodriguez

would put a hit\Nout on you? Here.

Well, you said yourself,

guys like Rodriguez\Nalways start with murder.

So, when you\Nthink about it,

this whole thing\Nwas my idea.

Technically, yeah, it is.

All right,\Nwe'll split it.

Okay. Beers on me when\NRodriguez goes down.

Deal.\NYeah.

(sighs)

Sergeant Reagan.

You heading home?

Oh, just to shower and change.

Still a ton of work to do.

You saw to that.

I'm sorry?

I spoke with Martin Hughes.

Do you think he did it?

No, but he gave me\Nsome information

that pointed me toward who did.

I really should be getting home.

You wanted to be\Nwarehouse supervisor?

Well, I did put in the time.

Twice as many years as Hughes.

That's right.

Unblemished record.

And so, it hurt when\Nthey passed you over?

I was disappointed.

According to the texts\Nthat you sent downtown,

you were seriously pissed off.

I wanted my contribution\Nto be recognized.

And so you decided to\Nsend a message.

We got a warrant

to search your vehicle.

Flammable liquid,

smokeless gunpowder, rags.

All materials consistent with\Nwhat was used to start the fire.

I gave everything to this place.

And then you decided\Nto destroy it.

No, I-I never expected it\Nto go this far.

I thought if I...

if I could put the fire out...

You'd be seen as a hero,

and get that promotion\Nthat you wanted?

The promotion I deserved.

I know that you see yourself as\Nthe victim here, but you're not.

The real victims\Nare out there,

living their lives,

no idea what's coming.

Assault, rape, murder.

They'll be the victims\Nof the perps you set free

by lighting that match.

Turn around.

You're under arrest.

(handcuffs clicking)

Can I help you?

Give me the cash\Nand the weed in the back.

Hurry up!

Police, don't move!\NDrop the gun!

(groans)

You set me up.

You set yourself up.\NYou had a free pass,

and you blew it.

This time\Nyou're going away.

This is for Matthew.

(lock buzzes, latch clicks)

Going somewhere?

Kind of look like\Nyou saw a ghost.

I'm surprised to\Nsee you, Detective.

Hmm, thought I'd be dead by now?

I don't know what you mean.

Two of the men\Nyou sent to kill me

told us that it was you\Nwho ordered the hit.

They're lying.

Right. And your pal from\Nthe yard who gave you up, too?

Is he lying?

You know,\Nyou burn too many people,

eventually you get bit.

You can't convict me\Nfor killing those ADTs,

so you make up a new charge.

No, you did that\Nall by yourself.

I told you I was gonna testify.

You could've fought it in court.

You probably would've won\Nwith your lawyers.

One thing I've learned:\Nnever trust lawyers.

Mm. Instead, you just do\Nwhat you always do.

Make someone dead.

Only this time,\Nyou chose the wrong guy.

You were the right guy.

I chose the wrong people.

Well, you and those people

committed conspiracy to murder

and attempted murder\Nof a federal officer.

Now, that may not be\Nmultiple homicides,

but the conspiracy alone\Ncarries a 20-year minimum.

You have to convict me first.

I'll be there\Nto make sure they do.

Do you really think you've\Naccomplished something?

Even if you\Nput me away,

someone else will take my place.

Good. I'll go after them, too.

It's a fight you can't win.

Knowing that you're\Ngonna do 20 years

is a win in my book.

Gate.

(lock buzzes, latch clicks)

Sir, I have...

Officer Janko,

who's just been cleared by CCRB.

(chuckles) Good news.

Congratulations,\NEddie.

Thank you.

I don't know what happened.

Just, all of a sudden, she\Ndropped it like a hot potato.

Well, whatever happened,

that's great.\NYeah.

Please.

You know, when I was\Nfirst riding with Jamie,

he'd talk about\Nthe kind of dad you are,

who sets an example

with a light touch,\Nand who leaves you be,

but somehow always knows\Nwhen you need him,

and just... appears.

I always wondered

what that would be like.

(sighs)

Now I know.

Well, thank you for that,

but, Eddie,\NI did disappear in all this.

Oh, okay.

I get it.

Eddie, no one in this office

had anything to do with it.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

So, I should\Njust leave that there.

Take it or leave it.

But it's the truth.

What do you say\Nwe go for a ride?

(clears throat)

Hey, Pop.

Hey, what're you two doing here?

Eddie got some\Ngood news.

CCRB cleared me\Nof wrongdoing.

About time those morons\Ngot one right.

Well, see,\Nit turns out

that someone\Nphotographed

the plaintiff\Nchanging a tire

that someone\Nmost likely

let the air\Nout of.

And guess what?

She changed it\Nwithout a neck brace,

nimble as a cat.

Hmm.

There. Good as new.

(chuckles)

Back in the day,

if something was broken,\Nlike this toaster say,

you just fixed it.

You didn't ask permission,\Nyou didn't make a big fuss,

you just grabbed a screwdriver.

Back in your day?

In the day.

Henry, I wanted to say that...

And once the thing was fixed,

there was no need\Nto talk about it.

There was no need\Nto make a fuss.

I miss those days.
