Hey!

Charlotte?
Who's Charlotte?

A hot girl.

Who's none of
your business.

She's just a friend.

Well... what kind of friend?

She just texted you
like 12 times.

All right, we like to talk.

Okay.

So she's that kind of friend.

What's that mean?

You know,
a friend who wants to be

more than a friend
kind of friend.

Well, actually,
I'd like to ask her out.

Like a date?

Pretty sure that's
what it's called

when you go out with a girl.

I... yeah, I mean, do you want

to ask her out
on a date, for real?

I mean, I was thinking about it,

but I just don't know
what to do if she says no.

If she says no, you just...

you know, find yourself
another Charlotte.

No way.
There's no one else like her.

Yeah, I get that.

All right, go ahead and eat.

Great.

Hey.
Hey.

Our son likes a girl.

Charlotte Lewis?

You knew already?

Well, he's had the hots
for her forever.

Why am I always the last one
to know everything around here?

Well...

I got called in early to work.

You mind driving
the boys to school?

Of course not, but
we were supposed

to look at tiles for the
bathroom this morning.

Have fun with that.

Good morning.
Is it?

Deputy Commissioner Moore
and Lieutenant Gormley...

Are already here.

Morning, Frank.
How you doing there, Commissioner?

So far, so good.

Then let's get to it.

I've been fielding calls
all morning, Frank.

The Times
wants a quote

on the mayor's statement
that he's putting

a hiring freeze
on police officers.

Shortsighted,

dangerous
and just plain asinine.

So, "No comment
at this time""

Exactly.
That's how you guys do that?

Next.
People magazine

wants to schedule
an interview...

No.

But they...
No.

This is a list of proposed
candidates for Medal Day.

Also, I...

Why wasn't I given a heads-up

that Detective Reagan
is on this list?

Um... I didn't think you
needed a heads-up.

Well, I know for a fact
Lieutenant Carver

and Detective Reagan
got off to a rocky start.

Now she's recommending
a Medal for Valor?

What the hell?

Well...

The mayor wants an update on

the heightened
security measures

for the
St. Patrick's Day parade.

Does he, in addition
to a hiring freeze?

Well, he doesn't look at them
side by side.

Tell him I can spare three
meter maids and a bullhorn.

- Sir, you have to leave.
- I get robbed,

and you're telling me I
got to leave my own house?

That's because your house is now
a crime scene, Mr. Bianco.

Detective Reagan and Baez.

In order for us to
do our jobs, we need

to be able to get
crime scene in the house

to figure out what happened.

I already told you guys
what happened.

My wife is so upset.

Nick, let's just go.
Come on.

I imagine so, when her husband

kills a guy
right in her own house.

Guy breaks into my home--
what am I supposed to do?

Do you have a
license for the gun?

I got a permit.

I own my own business.

I carry cash sometimes.

You think that's what
he was after?

How am I supposed to know?

Do you know the guy
that broke into the house?

No.

Why do I feel like I'm the one
did something wrong here?

I'm the victim.

You think of anyone
who would want to kill you?

Can I think of anyone
who might want to kill me?

How much time do you have?

Erin Reagan.

I'm Justin Taylor.

Sorry. Should I know you?

I'm the lawyer who filed
for the 440 motion

on behalf of my client--
for a retrial.

Uh, your client?

Uh, Suzanne Taylor.

You put her away
12 years ago-- unjustly.

Well, I'm going to have
to look up that case.

Uh, the-the murder of a 24-hour
convenience store clerk,

up in Morningside Heights.

She was sentenced
to 15 years

for a crime that
she didn't commit.

I'm petitioning
for a retrial

because she's innocent.

And how do you know that?

Because she's my mother.

Coffee?
Yeah, black. Thanks.

Let's get back to anyone

you might be having
problems with.

I own a cement company
in College Point.

Uh-huh.
We do a lot of business.

There's always people

complaining about
one thing or another.

People that owe me money,
people I owe money to...

Wait, wait, wait.
You're saying somebody

tried to off you
and your wife

'cause their cement
didn't set right? What?

I deal in commerce.
Okay.

Mostly building materials
for high-rises.

Cement, dirt.

We're talking
multimillion-dollar jobs.

Six months ago,

this guy Anton Petrov--
across town--

opens up another
cement company,

trying to steal my customers.

And?
I undercut his prices.

Got all my clients back.

But he wasn't happy.

He even threatened me.

He threatened you, huh?
With what?

I believe his exact words
had something to do with...

me only being able
to eat meals through a straw

when he was done with me.

He's inside.

The inner sanctum.

Come in.

Commissioner.

How'd you know where to find me?

Baker told me you were here.

That's not supposed to happen.

It's not her fault.

Sit down.

I was the one who recommended
Danny and Baez

for the Medal for Valor.

And you didn't tell me?

I knew how you'd feel about it.

Why didn't you just tell me
this morning?

Because I knew
how you'd feel about it.

As I recall,
you had plenty of problems

with Danny
when you were his boss.

Yes, I did.

But never about his commitment
or his courage.

Yet you never submitted his name
for a medal before.

Yes. That was an oversight.

So, when you found out
you were moving on,

you decided to do it then?
Actually,

I thought
I was gonna get canned,

so I thought
I'd go out with a bang

and right a wrong.

These medals are not to be used
as a parting gift.

That's not what this is.

It's what it sounds like.

This is about what I think

medals in general
are partly about.

It's about
the officers' families.

It's about them getting
to see their spouse

or mom or dad as a hero.

I'm sorry. I won't approve your
recommendation at this time.

Sir,

I get it that you don't want
to show favoritism to your kids,

but they also
shouldn't be punished

because their father happens
to be the police commissioner.

Nicholas Bianco is a liar.

Did you threaten him?
I don't threaten people.

I actually
follow through.

What does that mean?

It means if I
wanted to hurt him,

he'd be part of a
landfill right now.

That kind of sounds a little bit
like a threat to me.

I said "if""

Do you know this guy?

No.

He tried
to kill Nick Bianco.

Too bad.
That he wasn't successful.

And this is
my lawyer.

You have any more questions,

call him, not me.

Problem we're gonna have
on this case, too many suspects.

The M.E. sent her report.

The vic's name
was Bruce Epstein.

Lived in Astoria.

He was hit with three
precision shots to the chest,

all within one inch
of each other.

Bianco must've knew
his way around a gun.

Apparently
so did Epstein.

His prints came back
with a list of charges,

from gun possession
to attempted murder.

But his last charges were dropped.
Why?

Well, it looks like

the person he was accused
of attempting to murder

refused to testify.

Refused? Or was threatened?

Let's find out.

You take a look
at that case I sent you?

Yeah, I did. So, Suzanne
Taylor and her boyfriend,

John McVeigh, tried to rob
a 24-hour convenience store.

McVeigh ended up shooting
the store clerk to death.

According to the witness,
Suzanne Taylor was taking

the cash from the register
while the store clerk

bled to death.

Taylor says she was never
in the store

and didn't know
what had happened

until she was arrested
with her boyfriend.

Which contradicts
the witness'

and the boyfriend's statements.

The boyfriend died of cancer
in prison three years ago.

Great.

So why is she being granted
a 440 hearing now?

Because the only witness,
Carmen Thompson,

who I.D.'d Taylor and
McVeigh, was a crackhead.

And the detective on the case,
Detective Stevens, used her

for three prior trials
and two subsequent ones.

You spoken to him yet?

Over the phone.

He's retired, living in Arizona.

He said there were 900 murders
that year.

Neighborhoods like that,

the people who tend
to be outside

late at night...
Crack addicts. I get it.

But the same witness
in six trials?

It does taint the witness.

And it taints him
and me and the whole case.

Did he have anything
to say about that?

He said, "Detectives don't
decide who to prosecute."

Right. ADAs do.

Which means it's my fault for
not vetting the witness better.

Erin, this was
12 years ago.

There weren't even databases
back then for witnesses.

This isn't about placing blame.

Oh, that's exactly
what it's about.

Do you think

there's a possibility
that Suzanne Taylor is innocent?

I think you had
a sloppy detective.

That's not what I asked.

You think there's a possibility
that she's innocent?

Yes, there is.

Victor Floros? Detective Reagan.
This is Detective Baez.

We need to ask you
a few questions.

Do I have a choice?

You can do it down
at the squad room.

George, take over the register.

Last year, you refused
to testify against Bruce Epstein

for an attempt
he made on your life.

Yeah. So?
So, what happened?

Why did you change your mind,
decide not to testify?

Because I like breathing.

What are you talking about?

Look, as soon

as we opened this place, the Mob
sent someone over to meet me,

and tell me we had to pay them
off just to stay in business.

And did you?

No. I refused.

That's when that guy Epstein
comes to my place

and shoots right through
the window at me.

Are you sure
it was him?

Trust me,
when you're looking

at the wrong end of a gun,

your vision becomes very clear
very fast.

So, you think
Epstein is in the Mob?

I did some checking of my own.

He's not in the Mob.

He's a hit man for them.

What are you
looking for?

I don't know.

Well, it's your third trip
without taking anything out.

Oh.

Something's bothering you.

Not exactly.

Gormley put Danny up
for the Medal for Valor.

Oh, and you're afraid that it's
gonna look like favoritism?

There's that.

And Medal Day will turn
into a publicity event

about me giving my son one,

and Danny will inherit
all the backwash

from cops who think
they've been passed over.

The whole thing's got
three strikes

against it from the jump.

What would I do?

I know what you would do.

When you were commissioner,

I didn't get a medal
or a commendation.

Did you resent it?

No, I understood it.

So will Danny.

He's not me.

No, he's not.

But he does
have your sense

to favor the greater good.

I guess I could just ask him.

No.

No, you can't.

You can't put him
in that position.

Did you ever regret it?

One time.

In '88, when you apprehended
that bank robber

all on your own
before backup ever arrived.

That was a clear case
for the Medal for Valor.

Eh.

Now, every time you put on
the uniform and I see a space

where a medal should be,
or a commendation bar,

yeah.

Yeah, I have regrets.

I don't have regrets, Pop.

Neither will Danny.

So, Bianco says
he has no idea

why a professional hit man
would want to kill him.

Keeps pointing to Petrov.

Who, by the way,
has a record for tax evasion.

Which is a long way
from murder. What do you got?

I didn't get much
from Bianco's surveillance,

but I did talk to a neighbor

who has security cameras
around his house.

I thought we could sneak a peek.
Uh-huh.

But he said that
when Anna went away

for the weekend with her
girlfriends last month,

Bianco didn't waste any time
bringing home a hot tamale.

Bianco has a girlfriend?

That's what he said.

Well, that would be
a motive for murder.

Let's go see the missus.

Ms. Thompson, according
to the witness statement,

you heard three gunshots coming

from within
the convenience store,

and then saw two people
running from the store.

Is that correct?

Yes.

Are either of those two people
that you identified

that night here today?

Yes.

Where?

Sitting right there.

Let the record reflect

that the witness has identified
Suzanne Taylor.

Thank you.

Your witness.

Was my client
the one with the gun?

No.

Remind me.

What was your occupation
at the time?

My occupation?

You were 21, an adult.

What did you do for a living?
Objection. Relevance?

Sustained.
Nothing.

Counselor, is this
your first case?

Yes, Your Honor.

And a very important one.

Yeah, well, keep on point.

What were you doing outside

the convenience store
that night?

Doing crack.

I'm sorry.
Can you speak up, Ms. Thompson?

I was smoking crack.

Are you familiar with

a Detective Stevens?

Yes.

How many cases have
you helped him on?

Objection.
Relevance?

Your Honor,
I'm establishing history.

I'll allow it.

I helped him on a lot.

What's a lot?

One or two cases?

About five or six.

Well, you must like
helping Detective Stevens.

Objection.
Leading the witness.

I'll rephrase.

How did you come
to help Detective Stevens

on so many cases?

'Cause he used to give me money.

Which you'd use to buy crack.

Objection!

Withdrawn.

No further questions.

It could have easily
have been me or my husband

lying right there dead.

Can you think of anyone

who maybe wanted to, uh,
you know, kill your husband?

I thought it was a burglar

looking for jewelry,
stuff like that.

Well,

we think it may be
of a more personal nature.

Somebody who was mad
at your husband

for one reason or another.

Do you have any ideas
about that?

No.

Nick was a good husband.

Nick was a good husband?

Every marriage has
its ups and downs.

What does that mean?

Was he cheating on you?

No. It's not like that.

What is it like?

Nicholas cheated on me, okay?

But only after he found out
I was cheating on him.

We both got busy
in our jobs,

stopped paying attention
to each other.

The magic was gone.

Possible the man
you were having an affair with

wanted to get rid
of your husband?

No.

I don't think so.

No.

Okay, tell you what.
We're gonna need

the name of anybody you or your
husband had a relationship with.

Okay? Anyone you may have
burned a bridge with,

or could be holding
a grudge against either way.

Maybe I should call my husband.
Maybe you should

stop playing games,
start cooperating, okay?

How come you're still awake,
kiddo?

Can't sleep.

Why can't you sleep?

She said yes.
She said yes?

Yeah.

Well, that's great news.

Yeah, but now what?

Now you take her on a date,
you go to the movies.

That's so boring.
Everyone does that.

Okay.

Well, do you know
what she likes to do?

She likes to go ice-skating.

Could I bring her ice-skating?

Ice-skating sounds
like a very good plan.

Thank you.

You got it.

Good night.

Good night, kiddo.

Hello.

Hey.

You know, you should ask
your boss for a bigger office.

I don't think
that's a good idea.

He can be a hard-ass sometimes.

So I hear.

Whenever you prowl

the 14th floor and end up here
in my crowded little office,

it usually means my life is
gonna become more complicated.

You're sometimes good
at uncomplicating things.

How about I try that now?

Why don't you pretend

that Danny's last name
isn't Reagan

and decide
if he deserves a medal

based on the merits of the case?

I know he deserves it.
That's not the point.

Well, try this.

My father worked for Oldsmobile
all his life,

as did his father.

So a Moore had to drive
an Oldsmobile--

a used one when he started out,

a brand-new one
if he attained some success.

This isn't that.

It's as close as I can get.

I always looked
at the Oldsmobile

as a legacy
that was forced upon me,

that no matter
how well I did in life,

my reward would be, yes,
an Oldsmobile.

So he was banging
a waitress,

and she was letting
the landscaper

work on more
than the garden.

True love.

Maybe they just got bored.
I mean, it happens.

Geez, Baez, you sound
like you're advocating

extramarital affairs
all of a sudden.

No, I'm just saying that I
don't think their affairs

were significant enough
where their lovers

were willing to
kill for them.

I get it.
I mean, it's not like

he's taking off
with the waitress,

and she's not giving up
the McMansion

to go off with the guy
that mows the lawn.

I knew it.

I ran Bianco through SAFETNet.

Guess who's looking at him.

Organized Crime.

OCID's got him up on a wire.

What about video surveillance?

Erin, it was 2003.
The video is long gone.

The convenience store

is a Laundromat now.

What about this?

Recovered at the scene.

Never tested?

Lab tech labeled it
insufficient evidence.

Why?
I don't know.

The lab tech long since retired.

I haven't been able
to track him down.

Get it tested. Maybe it fell
through the cracks.

What else are we missing?

You were second seat
on this case, Erin.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means
stop beating yourself up.

Why are you letting this case
get to you?

Why'd you become a cop?

My mother was murdered
when I was 16.

I'm sorry.

I became a cop

hoping to find out who did it.

And did you find out?

No.

I became a lawyer
because I love the truth.

That's why
this case

is getting to me.

Because what if the truth is
I'm responsible

for a woman losing 12 years
of her life?

Hey, Dad.

Hey.

I thought
Erin was bringing that.

Yeah, well, she's preoccupied

with the 440 hearing,
so she asked me.

Oh. I'll call her.

Yeah, you know
those calls you make, Dad,

when you're pretending

to be concerned
about Sunday dinner

but you're really just fishing
around for how we're doing,

they're very transparent.

Are they, now?

Mm-hmm.

And what are we having?

Turkey.

Mmm. Well, just so you know,

when you show up
with the food for Sunday dinner,

it is also transparent.

Oh.

Right.

I know Gormley threw my name
in the hopper for a medal.

I told him not to.

I know you did.
I just wanted you to know

I told him not to
because I don't need it, Dad.

And I'm sure you don't need the
publicity that comes with it.

I don't care about publicity.
You shouldn't, either.

Okay, well,
I hate wearing my dress blues.

How about that?

See you Sunday.

I'm proud of you, you know.

I know.

Nicholas Bianco,
owner of Nicky's Cement Company,

an original title
if I ever heard one.

We've only been
up on him

for a month,
so I don't have much for you.

Is he mobbed up?
Well, not exactly.

He gets hired by Fat Al

to truck concrete on
rigged city contracts.

We haven't gotten him
breaking the law.

How about this guy?
He look familiar to you?

Bruce Epstein.

We think he's got at least
five bodies under his belt.

We're trying to figure
out who would've hired

this Epstein to kill Bianco.

I don't have anything
that'll help you with that.

We didn't get anything
on the wire about it.

How about

someone close to Epstein
who might know who hired him?

We have a CI
in the Romano family,

and they say that Epstein
doesn't keep any secrets

from his girlfriend.

That's a little unusual for
an organized crime member,

especially a hit man.

Aren't they sworn to secrecy?

Love makes you do crazy things.

Or stupid things.

Got an address
on the girlfriend?

Thank you.

Took a guess on how you like it.
Milk, no sugar?

Perfect.
Like everything else about you,

no frills.

I was thinking you and Justin
Taylor have a lot in common.

He also got into this
field to seek justice

for his mom.

It's very noble.

Noble and naive.

Why would you say that?

It means just because
he believes

his mother is innocent
doesn't mean she is.

These are the results of the DNA
from the cigarette

found at the scene.

It matches Suzanne Taylor.

She was there.

We're looking

Valerie, Detectives

We know you were

Fiancée.

And he also
told me never

to talk to cops.
Really?

So you have no interest in
finding out why he was killed?

Since when
is the NYPD interested

in the murder of a hit man?

We need to
find out

who sent him to Bianco's house,

make sure he wasn't set up.

And to make sure
you're not in any danger.

Look, we know
he confided in you, okay?

And given his profession,
that's very unusual.

Well, he was... an unusual man.

That's what I loved about him.

I think he would
want you protected.

And we can provide that for you.

If you're willing
to cooperate.

What do you want to know?

Who sent him to kill Bianco?

He wasn't there to kill Bianco.

Why was he there?

He was there
to kill Bianco's wife.

Anna was
the target? Why?

I have no idea why.

Who hired him to kill her?

Her husband.

I'm not supposed to talk to you
without my lawyer, you know.

That's right.
You don't have to talk to me.

A cigarette butt

was found at the crime scene
that was never tested for DNA,

so I had it sent to the lab.

Puts you at the scene.

That doesn't mean
I killed that store clerk.

That store clerk's name
was Dillon Hartin.

He was
17 years old.

I'm going to submit the results
as evidence.

Justin should be getting it
later on this afternoon.

I have an
18-year-old daughter.

If I had done something stupid,

broken the law years ago,
I can't imagine

wanting to tell her because...

Because when people
like you screw up,

there's always someone there
to get you out of it.

You've been lying to your son
all of these years.

I never told him
to reopen the case.

He did that on his own.

He did that because he thinks
you're innocent.

I didn't shoot Dillon Hartin.

You were there.

You took that money
from the store.

You ran away.

You tried to help
your boyfriend escape.

And I've paid for it.

So has Justin.

What do you want from me?

I want you to tell the truth.

That I was high on coke?

That I was so in love
with my boyfriend

I'd do anything for him?

Including watch him
kill that kid

because he didn't get the money
out of the drawer fast enough?

Is that what you want me
to tell my son?

Yes.

You couldn't
possibly understand.

I understand that the truth
is gonna come out.

You need to decide
if it's gonna come from you

or me.

Guard?

You put out a hit
on your wife.

No, I didn't.
Sure you did.

Why don't you grow some balls
and stop BS'ing.

What'd you say to me?

What are you gonna do?

You gonna put out a hit
on me next, huh?

Come on, sit down.

Sit down!

You hired Epstein
to kill your wife.

What? I never saw
that guy before in my life.

Want to explain that?

What the hell
did your wife do

to piss you off
so much, huh?

She find out
you had a girlfriend?

Honest to God,
I never cheated on...

Never cheated on her
until you found out

she was cheating on you, right?

I know about that, too.

What do you know?

We were 18
years old

when we first met.

High school sweethearts.

So what happened?

What happens when
you stop paying attention

to your marriage?

It starts to fall apart.

Okay. So you thought
it would be better to just...

off your wife...

instead of dealing
with the state of your marriage?

I hired him in anger.

Right.

And then I realized I...

I still love her.

I couldn't do it.

I even tried to call it off,

but... he changed
his number.

That's what those
guys do, huh?

They change cell phones
every few days.

I, uh...

couldn't cancel the hit, so I...

waited up for him
to arrive and...

And then you killed him
before he killed your wife.

You know you
could have headed it off

and just told him
you changed your mind.

This isn't like canceling
your fast food order.

And legally, you can kill
someone in self-defense

if they break
inside of your house.

Right?

It's a great cover story.

I want a lawyer.

Yeah, you're gonna need one.

Come on. Get up.

when we first met.

Do you remember that?
When we came here?

Our second date?

I hated ice-skating.

I just...
was trying to impress you.

Well, as I recall,

you weren't very
impressive on the ice.

Well, I was just pretending,

'cause I wanted you
to hold my hand.

Mmm.

Oh.

Looks like Jack's inherited
some of my moves.

You want one?

You know what
those look like?

Those look like, uh...

Stork's orange creams?

No way.
Yeah way.

Wow!

It is!
How'd you do that?

That place closed
like three years ago.

The old man's still alive.

You found him?
I found him-- I not only found him,

I got him to make
something special for you.

And he was happy
to do it, actually.

Really? You did all that?

Mm-hmm.

Hmm.

You remember the first time

we bought those together?

Mm-hmm.

Those were your
favorite chocolates

in the whole wide world.

Mm-hmm.
And then you tried one and you got me

to try one.
Mm-hmm.

And then...

♪ ♪

Still the best-tasting
orange kiss of my entire life.

Hi.

Hi.

I, uh... I got the DNA results

for the cigarette
that you admitted into evidence.

I already talked to the judge,

and he's agreed
to rescind my motion.

I'm sorry.
Sorry you won?

Or... sorry my whole life
has been based on a lie?

When was that taken?

Um... when I
graduated law school,

about... eight months ago.

You wore your...

cap and gown
to the prison visitors' room?

I wanted to make her proud.

I'm sure she is.

Have you spoken to her?

Uh...

I don't know what I'd say.

Sometimes you don't need
to say anything.

She made me look like a fool.

She's made mistakes.

She's paid for them dearly.

That's rich.

A prosecutor defending a felon.

I'm not defending her.

Why are you here?

I'm here because I'm
a really good lawyer

and you made me question myself,
and that's no easy task.

What can I say?
I was delusional.

I mean, I must have looked
like an ass up there

in front of the judge
thinking my mother

had been railroaded
this entire time.

You looked like an experienced,
self-confident lawyer,

not a newbie.

You were good
on cross.

Really smart objections.

You've only been at this a year.

I appreciate you trying
to make me feel better, but...

I wouldn't waste

my time coming down here
to make you feel better.

I came down here
to tell you

you're really good
at what you do.

This is my card.

If you ever decide to play
for the other side,

the D.A.'s office

could use a lawyer like you.

Thank you.

By the way...

...the part about me
looking confident...

I was faking it.

I was, too.

Congratulations, sir.
