- Previously on East New York...
- Think fast.

What's up, man?

One of my cops arrested a female
for shoplifting.

He may have used
an excessive amount of force.

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?

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.

And that union
trustee has nothing to do with it?

I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

There she is.

That for me?

Who else?

Come on.

Us meeting up gonna be
a regular thing, Sean?

If we want it to be.

I don't know.

How could you not know?

You mean given your irresistible nature?

Yeah.

I mean, I wouldn't
have put it quite that way,

but if that's how you feel,
I'll take it.

I got to go.

Regina, come on, please,
chill with me for a minute.

You know, some of us work regular hours.

Okay, then. That means
you have your nights free.

Who says I don't?

Hmm.

Yeah?

Hey.

Wow. I can't believe you're back.

Good morning, Inspector.

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.

- 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.

7-4-David.

Respond to a 30 with a firearm
at 8384 New Lots Avenue.

4-Eddie backing up.

Here we go.

Hey. Hey. Hey, we're in here.

- You hear that?
- We're inside the vault behind the...

- Police. Anybody in there?
- Hello!

We're in the vault behind the counter!

The lock's busted.

4-David to Central.

Be advised the victims
are locked in a vault.

We're gonna need ESU over here
to get it open. Over.

4-David, we copy.

- All right, we're good.
- Yeah, go for it.

Go on.

Oh, thank you so much. You guys, go. Go.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Damn.

We're starting to get a detailed report

of what he thinks is missing.

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.
- 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.

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.

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.

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.

- Right in here, sir.
- Thank you.

Uh, give me a moment
alone with the chief.

Ronnie, would you mind
bringing the car around?

Yes, sir.

You making the rounds
at the borough here, Raymond?

One of my favorite things to do

is to get out into the field,
meet the people where they live,

take the pulse of this dirty
little town, and, of course,

check in with those
I rely on to keep me apprised.

Well, it seems like
not much gets past you.

You must have quite a few
of those around here.

I want one.

To be successful in politics
long-term, you need someone

you can trust to tell you
what you don't want to hear.

There's a lot of smart people
hanging around the halls

of city government, John.

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.

What's the pitch?

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

of three-star chiefs, a four-star chief.

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.

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.

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.

- 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.

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.

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

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

Do a little... 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

of Cannabis Management to go through
the list of licensees.

Let me know if I can help.

How long are we stuck with him?

The website is designed to log in
cannabis dispensaries' inventory,

payroll and banking records.

These are the listed owners,

dates and times of scheduled delivery.

Who has access to this website?

People authorized by the agency.

- Law enforcement, obviously.
- Yeah, let's see what you got

for, uh, Royal Kush.

Named licensees and investors.

Look who's one of the investors.

Why are you doing this?

The guy's listed as an investor
of a place that got robbed.

That not reason enough?

You've had it in for this guy
since day one.

You think maybe my girlfriend hiring him

had something to do with that?
Hiring him, by the way,

without asking me to vet him,
without asking my opinion?

How dare she have been so independent.

You know, this is why I don't
talk to you about these things.

You talk to me about them all the time.

You wanted to see me?

You know someone named Jamal Hayes?

- Uh-huh.
- You were locked up

- at Elmira together.
- What's going on?

Has to do with an investigation.

Yeah, I think we need to, uh,

take a ride over
to the precinct, George.

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

- No. I'm sorry, honey.
- 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.

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.

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.

Hmm.

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

And now, there's a warrant.

If you call my parole
officer, he'll confirm

that I cleared any outstanding warrants.

But in the meantime, I have to hold you.

So why don't you, uh,
turn around and assume the position?

Got any weapons

or anything sharp on you?

Can I talk to you?

Why don't you have a seat?

What are you doing?

This guy's behind that robbery.

There's no evidence of that.

That's what we do now...
Find the evidence.

- Chief.
- Regina.

You need me for something?

I heard it was Officer Bentley's
first day back at work

so I wanted to stop by
and wish him well.

He's on patrol right now,
but can 10-2 him if you want.

Oh, no, that's not necessary.

Okay.

Regina?

I know you think I was wrong

to stop you from putting
Officer Finley on a desk.

We have a disagreement about that.

But I wouldn't want it
to overshadow our working relationship

that we've built up over the years.

I don't want that, either.

You making any headway on that
pattern of dispensary robberies?

Some.

Keep me in the loop.

Okay.

Hey. How you doing, Jamal?

I'm all right.

Yeah, we understand
that you might've been behind

in your payments
to George Pappas, that right?

Yeah. I was gonna make a payment
out of the 85 they took from me.

And was Pappas leaning on you?

I wouldn't say that.

Were you counting on him
to be infinitely patient?

He knows I'm good for it.

What are the chances
he was behind the robbery, Jamal?

Zero.

I'd trust George with my life.

Ah. Easy Wind Cannabis Dispensary

on Rockaway and Livonia
just got stuck up.

- Yeah, that's the 8-2.
- Yeah. No.

A security guard thinks he might
have hit one of the perps.

We need to survey
area hospitals. Thank you.

Thank you.

I thank you so much for taking
the time to meet with me, Chief.

I know you've got a busy schedule.

If you, uh, have questions,

I'm... happy to answer 'em.

Great. So tell me,
what do you make of the fact

that according to statistics,
the city is safer now

than it was in the '90s?

1990s. I think that's true.

Yet, there's been a significant
increase in violent crime.

And if you're the one getting robbed
or stabbed or punched in the head,

statistics mean absolutely nothing.

So, what does the police department need
in order to stem the tide?

That's complicated.

Support.

Resources, personnel.

Withholding judgement
until all the facts are in when there is

a police-involved shooting.

Hey, most cops are good cops.

They come to work wanting
to do good, most cops,

and to be able to go back
to their families

in one piece after their tour.

I would love to see you
make that speech on CNN.

No. That is not likely.

I have a good friend
that does their booking.

You are exactly the kind
of pundit they're looking for.

- I'm not a pundit.
- Exactly.

Let me ask you a question.

Sure. Ask me anything.

You actually want to see
Raymond Sharpe elected mayor?

Well, if I'm working for him, I do.

Yeah, just forget all that.

How would he be for the people
who live in the city?

I think he would be effective.

His agenda might not

neatly coincide with yours or mine, but

I think there'd be
significant areas of overlap.

Overlap.

So what are you looking for from me?

Well, right now, somebody
who has their ear to the ground.

With the community, the city council,

executive staff of NYPD.

And who else are you talking to
about that?

Right now, it's just you.

Mr. Emerson.

We're from the 7-4 Precinct.
I'm Detective Morales,

this is Detective Killian. We
want to ask you some questions.

I don't know who shot me
if that's what you're gonna ask.

It was in the vicinity
of Cleveland and Linden

is where you told the EMT it happened?

Right.

But you didn't see
who might've thrown the shot?

- Did not.
- If you don't mind my asking,

what were you doing around there?

Checking out the neighborhood.

- Why is that?
- Struggling a bit

since I got out of the service.

Rent's being what they are, needed

to look for a place that
was a little more affordable.

And you were thinking
about East New York?

Couldn't be worse than Fallujah.

Ah.

That was a...
that was a bad one, wasn't it?

What? Did you read about it?

Yeah, I wasn't there.

Nah, you were back here,
strutting around, blowing the lid off

of street-corner drug dealers
and Joker Poker machines.

Yeah. Nobody was doing
any strutting, Mr. Emerson.

What we're looking to blow
the lid off of is the robbery

of the Easy Wind Cannabis Dispensary.

You wouldn't happen
to know anything about that?

Not a thing.

You gonna have a story ready
when it turns out

the security guard
from Easy Wind ID's you

as being who he shot
during the course of a robbery?

- He ID's me, it'll be because...
- Mm-hmm.

...he's got me mixed up
with some other broken down vet

waiting for his benefits to kick in.

Wouldn't be me.

- Yeah.
- Broken down.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Did it seem strange
that every time a job came over

- the radio for us, we had backup?
- Not particularly.

That fender-bender on Atlantic Avenue.

Sector Charlie backing up.

The disturbance
in the unemployment office.

Sector Adam backing up.

Cops backing up cops isn't
a strange occurrence, Andre.

That's what cops do.

Somebody went through
what we went through,

I'm sure we'd be the same thing.

Yeah, I-I just don't want to be treated

any different than I was before I got...

you know.

Well, uh, I wouldn't...
I wouldn't worry about it.

Nobody's treating you
all that different.

You prefer, uh, almond milk or oat milk?

Hey, where's the guy who was in here?

Haywood said to cut him loose.

- She say why?
- I didn't ask her why.

But she wants to talk to you.

Yeah. I want to talk to her, too.

Yeah?

Hey. I'm a little confused, Inspector.

I was just told
that you released an individual

I was holding in the squad room?

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,

I'm taking you off the case.

I'm having Troy team up with Morales.

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

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

Oh. Glad you're keeping Haywood
up-to-date on our cases.

She wanted to know
why we were holding him.

Based on the gunshot wound
and the security guard's description,

they granted a warrant
to search Emerson's apartment.

Oh. Sounds like
you two make a great team.

Thank you.

Why don't you take the bedroom?

Your friend Killian
ever gonna let up on me?

I don't know. That's between you two.

It's not like I'm trying to move in
on whatever it is he's got going.

Hey, Desmond, what did I just say?

Yeah, but no doubt he's running
me down to you all the time.

I mean, can you at least
stand up for me a little bit?

What am I, your mother?

Forget I mentioned it.

Guy lives like
he's still active military.

In more ways than one.

That's our friend Chip Emerson,

and that's the guy Killian
and I interviewed

in the office of Cannabis Management.

They were soldiers together.

They're still soldiers.

They're just on the other side.

Mr. Hayes?

- Hey.
- The detectives

that are handling your case
are tied up at the moment.

Okay. Uh, is there some sort of form

I could fill out, uh,
to get the money back?

Uh, have they recovered the money?

No, no, no, no. I...

I just want to get my paperwork
in just in case they do.

Okay. You know what? Let me actually

- just go... Uh, hey.
- Hey.

Hey.

Oh, that's, uh...
that's my daughter Nina.

Oh. It's nice to meet you, Nina.

Nice to meet you.

You doing a portrait of someone?

Just a sketch.

Ah. Okay.

So, Mr. Hayes wants to find out about

getting the money back
that was taken from the robbery.

All right, uh, first, we have to find
out who committed the robbery.

I get it. I was just
trying to figure out

whether or not I'd be able to keep
the dispensary, or I have to go out

and get another job.

And with my record,

I don't know what kind
of job that's gonna be.

Yeah. Uh, uh, Mr. Hayes,

I-I don't know
what to tell you right now.

Yeah, I know.

I cannot believe what I did
to this guy back in the day.

Sending someone away
for four-and-a-half years

for six ounces of pot?

Yeah, that's tough, and Elmira, no less.

We're not just sending him.

His daughter grows up
missing her father.

His wife divorces him.

His mother dies
with him upstate. It's insane.

You were a cop
working Narcotics, Regina.

You were doing what you were told to do.

I know.

Legislature makes laws.

Departmental policy is to enforce them.

That's the way it works.

I have a really difficult time

letting myself off that easily.

Yeah, well, try getting to know
someone for a couple of years.

You're spending Thanksgiving,
their daughter's quinceañera,

and then putting them
in prison for ten years.

Hey, what do you tell yourself?

Oh. Oh, what do I tell myself?

I tell myself it's my job.

Some days I hate it,
some days I love it.

Most days, I don't think about it.

Oh, I have to get back.

- Come on.
- Walk me to the corner.

I got to do something.

You're back.

A couple of things we didn't cover.

- Where's the other guy?
- He couldn't make it.

Hmm. You know someone

named Charles Emerson?
Also goes by Chip?

- Why don't we go speak in my office?
- Yeah.

So, you know him?

Yeah, he was in my unit in the Army.

You talk to him lately?

- What, is... he in trouble?
- Why would you think that?

You guys aren't here
just to pass the time of day.

So, what did he do?

We think he may have been involved

in a robbery of a cannabis dispensary.

Doesn't surprise me.

- Why is that?
- We served together.

I was his platoon sergeant, and, uh,

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.

We'd like
for you to take a ride back with us

to the precinct, Mr. Green.

Mr. Green, we have
enough evidence right now

to turn the case against
you over to the D.A.

And he'll go before the Grand
Jury, and in all likelihood,

get an indictment against you
for conspiracy to commit armed robbery.

I was nowhere near the place
when it got robbed.

You didn't need to be.
You provided information

for the commission of the crime.

That's the thing about working
for the government.

They keep track of whatever
you look at on your computer.

- But you know that.
- We know you picked

which dispensaries to hit and when.

You're gonna have to give us
something, Mr. Green.

Like what? What can I give you?

If you want to significantly
reduce the length

of your sentence, you're gonna
have to make it irresistible

for your coconspirators to pull
down another score. Can you do that?

Look, since this is all pretty new,

a lot of the dispensaries
that just opened,

they have non-operational
security systems, so...

- This your phone?
- Yes.

Pick one. I want it hit today.

You know, I don't miss it.

- What's that?
- Getting high.

That's good.

You know, I thought
when I quit smoking weed

to go on the job that... I don't know...

Like, things wouldn't be the same.

Like, listening to music
wouldn't be the same.

Hanging out with my friends on
the beach wouldn't be the same.

Loving the way the hot sun feels

beating against my face
wouldn't be the same.

It's good you don't miss it.

There were three of 'em

when they hit the other dispensaries.

Given one of 'em got shot,

in all likelihood, now there's two.

Well, there's a lot more of us
then there are of them.

Yeah, and we're ready for 'em.

Six "P" s, right?

You got it.

Proper planning,

et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaking of which,
I forgot my phone in the car.

How can we help you?

Mm, uh...

how much for the Sour Diesel, darlin'?

Starts at $20 a pre-roll,

goes up to $300 an ounce.

- We smell it?
- Uh, yeah.

Here you go.

I actually
just wanted to see you turn around.

I'm actually not that interested
in what you actually wanted.

- Time to get interested.
- Oh.

- Take it easy.
- There's a vault downstairs, right?

Uh-huh.

Let's go downstairs and open that vault.

I'm happy to open the vault.

Just take it easy with the guns, okay?

Okay.

You're under control, right?

- Don't move.
- I won't.

Do what I tell you
and no one will get hurt.

Someone's coming.

Keep your mouth shut.

How's it going?

You want to get the cash
or you want me to...?

- I'll get the cash.
- Okay.

- Did you get your hot lunch?
- I did.

- Get down on the floor now!
- Take it easy.

Don't tell me to take it easy.
Do what I tell you

or I'm gonna put one
right in your skull.

- Get your hands up.
- Sorry!

Just take whatever you want
to take, man.

Why don't you let me worry about that?

- You got something else to worry about.
- Oh, yeah, what's that?

Look down.

NYPD!

You're surrounded, son.

Drop the gun.

Now!

Give me your hand.

Yeah.

Yeah?

I'm not trying to reinstate
myself or anything, boss.

I just happened to be
there when we got word

you wanted to see him so
I brought him downstairs.

Oh, yeah.

Here you go.

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 were caught red-handed.

Your testimony, in all likelihood,
will get the third one convicted.

You could conceivably reduce
the length of your sentence further.

You don't have to spend it at someplace
like Elmira, you don't...

How?

Your crew took a dispensary
for $85,000 yesterday.

I want that money back.

I never would've taken you
for a shakedown artist.

The money belongs to the man
you stole it from.

Make it easy for the both of us,
and tell me where it is.

Under the rug in my bedroom
there's a, a floor safe.

Hey.

Do you want a menu
or you know what you want?

Is he here?

George?

Hey.

Let me know if I should call a lawyer.

I jump to conclusions.

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

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

and then I judge you
based on what I know.

That and the fact that you work
for my girlfriend,

as I hope you understand,
her wellbeing is

the most important thing
in the world to me.

I do understand that.

So then I...

take what I know, and I act on it.

Sometimes I'm right.

In your case, I was wrong.

I should've treated you
respectfully, but, um...

I-I was wrong.

I'm sorry I put you through that.

I, uh...

I've never had a cop
apologize to me before.

You're a citizen now, George.
You deserve an apology.

So I, um, I apologized to him.

Well, I guess that covers it.

Hey, the guy, he did time
for armed robbery, Corinne.

I mean, what am I supposed to do,

think of him as being above suspicion?

This isn't about him. It's about you.

The only reason you have

for dragging him out of here
is that you wanted to be right.

So you just use your authority

and your little gold
shield and you made everybody

that works in that kitchen with George

and George's sister and
George's wife scared to death

you were gonna find a reason
to send him back to prison.

Yeah, but I didn't.

You're a bully, Tommy.

I don't want to be with you anymore.

- You got a minute?
- Sure.

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.

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.

Here it is, Jamal.

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.

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

on the Belt Parkway to assist

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

and I stayed out there hoping
that whatever happened...

inside happened while I was out there.

That if anybody had to get shot,
it wouldn't be me.

You knew ESU was on the scene.

But you didn't stay out there, right?

No, sir.

That's what matters.

That was sweet what you said

- to me this morning.
- Oh, yeah?

What did I say?

Well, you told me
what it was like doing your job

and it made it a little easier
for me doing mine.

Well...

I'm glad I could be of service.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

Hey, how was everything?

Everything was great, thank you.

Great. Thanks.

I like that she asked that.

Why is that?

She's not indifferent.

- Hmm.
- Acted like

she wanted us to have
enjoyed dining here.

Did we?

I think we did.

- Mm-hmm, I did.
- Yeah. You did?

Mm-hmm.

I did.

Um...

Um, I got to go.

- Regina...
- I've got to go!
