Previously on East New York...

McKAY: I ain't handing over nothing.

My name is Regina Haywood.

A German tourist and a security guard

murdered in broad daylight.

That is totally unacceptable.

Nice to meet you, Detective Morales.

- This is Detective Killian. - Nice to meet you.

I've been working in restaurants since I'm 19.

I want to own that place.

All right, Bentley. Your first crime scene.

Hey, Sandeford, who are those guys?

This is Chief Suarez. He's the borough commander.

You asked for Stan Yenko

to be your executive officer?

I irritate people. I know this about myself.

I also want members of the service

to start living near where they work.

Why'd you volunteer to do this, Quinlan?

Because I think this is a good idea.

Because of the shooting, you're gonna have to go

- see Psych Services. - Oh, God. I know.

We, all together, are going to stem

this kind of violence

in East New York.

♪ Been the realness on the block ♪

♪ Had it all under control

♪ Hard place and a rock with a little bit of roll ♪

♪ I ain't never gonna stop, you can tell me where to go ♪

♪ Third Street, like Pac, with a little bit of soul ♪

♪ 'Cause I need heart to keep it moving ♪

♪ Sometimes you win even if you lose some ♪

You got to think of yourself as a self-contained unit.

You need something, have that thing.

Like what?

Band-Aids. Tourniquet.

Extra pen.

Auxiliary battery for your phone.

Tape measure.

Why a tape measure?

"Officer, approximately how long was the 2x4

that the defendant threatened you with?"

See what I mean?

Yeah. What do you know?

Percy from Jersey.

- This kid right here? - Yeah, yeah.

Yo, what's happening?

What, you got no time for me?

Ah, you know.

What do I know?

Just don't want to be late for work is all.

When you seeing your parole officer?

Saw him this morning, sir.

Now, you know I'm-a check on that, right?

Yes, sir.

All right.

Take care.

All right.

Why'd you stop him?

If somebody wearing a down coat when it's warn,

sometimes they could be packing.

What's your favorite cop show?

Uh, I don't have one.

Then check out Barney Miller.

Greatest of all time.

Though a close second is

: Car 54, Where Are You?

Yeah? I don't know that one, either.

See, that's a problem.

You're not gonna get my references.

What's he doing?

Yeah, Marvin.

And why did he button up all the buttons on his shirt?

Think maybe we should run him in.

Hey, Froggy, what's up?

Bentley, check out what he was doing.

Whoa.

Oh.

Where you going, huh?

I guess pole vault wasn't your event, Froggy.

I-I didn't do nothing, sir.

You must've done something

if you run on me. Let's go. Let's go.

No, I-I don't know what's... Mar-Marvin.

You better take a look at this.

Well, well, well.

Let's go.

Well, I-I don't know anything about this.

You know the routine.

Robbery numbers are way high, Regina.

One reason's that this precinct's been shorthanded,

particularly on the 4:00 to 12:00,

which is when most robberies happen.

What are we gonna do about that?

One thing would be to stop pulling uniforms

out of command to work parade details

in Manhattan.

And the clearance rate for felonies, that's got to come up.

Give me more detectives.

The squad's being hollowed out by early retirements

and an unrealistic overtime cap.

I go upstairs to the squad room,

half the time the room's half-empty.

People get victimized. They get mugged.

And there's no investigation, no follow-up, nothing.

All right, I'll tell you what.

Give me a breakdown

of crime stats and personnel numbers,

both patrol and detectives.

I'll make sure the Chief of Patrol knows

that we need more than good intentions here.

Thank you.

Meantime, uh, you still haven't gone to Psych Services.

I know.

You know.

This isn't optional, Regina.

You were involved in a fatal shooting.

Regulations require you

to see a department psychologist

who has to sign off on your fitness for duty.

I'll tell you something else, I don't care for their offices.

- You're kidding me, right? - No, I'm not.

I've gone before in the past, let's not forget.

It was a windowless office.

Some guy staring at his computer screen

the whole time.

"Oh, that's rough. That's intense."

Well, no doy, that must be rough... All right, hopefully

that won't be true for all of them,

and the next office you go to will...

have windows.

: Okay.

- But you got to go. - You right.

- Take care, Chief. - Sergeant.

Hey, Chief.

- Sir. - Can I talk to the Chief?

No, you cannot talk to the Chief. I already told you.

Somebody will be with you

as soon as they can.

Who is that someone?

I mean, who are they? Where are they?

Somebody want to take care of this, please?

What's the problem?

My son's name was Juwan Hilliard,

and he was murdered three days ago,

and I can't so much as get someone

to return my phone calls.

Okay, let me take your information. One moment.

Actually, why don't you come in my office?

I'm the commanding officer.

I know from their reports,

they've checked security cameras and canvassed the area.

And when they didn't get lucky, they gave up.

Nobody's given up.

They hard at work on it?

It's an ongoing investigation.

You ever lose a kid?

No, I haven't.

You open your eyes in the morning and you're fine.

For a minute.

Then you remember what happened and the world goes upside down.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry.

You're busy.

My boy's gone, and it don't make a bit of difference.

His son was the one that was killed

in the projects I moved into.

Every morning I, uh, make a list of things to do

and the order to do them in.

High on top of that list are open homicide investigations.

Let people get away with murder,

what good are we, right?

But because we don't have enough detectives

and the detectives we do have are overwhelmed,

when that boy's father wants to know who killed his son,

the only thing I can tell him

is that it's an ongoing investigation,

because that's what you say

when you have nothing to say.

He's entitled to better than that.

♪ I'm fire and really paid like Black Wall Street ♪

♪ If I wasn't so intimidated maybe you could learn from me ♪

♪ Maybe cop a job, let you work, come and earn from me... ♪

Stan, where are we with the Hilliard homicide?

They interviewed half a dozen witnesses.

Is that it? I mean...

Stan?

♪ Okay, back to the heat.

Stan!

- Sorry. - What are you listening to?

I'm learning Italian.

The detective who caught the Hilliard homicide,

Satterfield?

Generally very thorough.

I think he must have exhausted his leads.

Well, stay on top of him.

If he exhausted the leads he has,

he needs to find new leads.

Done.

Uh...

Not right now.

Okay.

Hey, listen, before I forget,

that reporter from The Times, Vanessa Farrow,

she wants to interview you for the style section--

lifestyle, uh, clothes... Not today.

Well, it's the second time

you've canceled, just so you know. Hello?

I'll be there in 20 minutes.

I need a driver.

First dead body?

First one I've seen up close.

Do anything to you?

Not really.

All right.

Story checks out.

Medical examiner puts the time of death,

he was still at the men's shelter.

Hey, do I get carfare?

Carfare?

I'll give you a MetroCard.

- Here. - Yeah, that...

- That's good. - And one for next time.

- Take care, guy. - Thanks.

Sorry, Champ.

Thought you had your first collar

as well as your first dead body.

Ah, she's pissed 'cause that Hilliard homicide

fell between the cracks.

How come it fell between the cracks?

Because sometimes it does.

Oh, no, no. You don't have to send me swatches, Corinne.

No, if you like ecru, go with ecru.

I don't even know what it is.

All right, hey, I got to go.

- Love you. - Detective Killian.

What are we looking at?

Well, the body Sandeford and Bentley found has

Manhattan South Homicide interested, apparently.

We were told

to wait till they got here.

You know Chief of Detectives Kidd?

Yeah, I know Regina, sure.

She worked for me in Narcotics.

It's nice to see you, Chief.

This body found

in the 7-4 precinct's been identified

as Oren Scoville.

He was a partner in the Rhinecliff Fund,

a hedge fund

with roughly $50 billion

under management.

That this guy got murdered

is not supposed to happen.

According to security cameras,

he left a club in Manhattan, got into his car,

and then, from that point forward, we lose track of him.

Given who this guy was, chances are

the only way he wound up in East New York was dead.

We're betting he was murdered in Manhattan.

Yeah, 'cause otherwise it's not your case, right, Desmond?

- Lose the attitude, Detective. - Yes, sir.

I'd think you'd be relieved, Tommy.

Since we don't know where he was killed

and the body was

found in the 7-4...

...it's the 7-4's case.

I'm less worried about whose case it is

than how long it takes for an arrest to be made.

In the crime scene photo,

there was an impression on his wrist.

He wore a watch, the watch is missing.

That tells us maybe a pross set him up,

or maybe someone just wanted his watch.

Have there been robberies outside this particular club?

Are we looking at a carjacking, maybe?

Chief, my detectives are

fully capable of factoring all this into the investigation.

I'm sure they are, Regina.

But 5:00 tomorrow morning, my phone's gonna ring.

The mayor will have seen page one

of the New York Post

and have called the PC to ask

why an arrest hasn't been made.

- Assuming one hasn't been. - Not to disparage

your squad, Detectives, but Manhattan South Homicide comes

with a lot more experience, a lot more resources.

So long as my detectives aren't deployed elsewhere,

we also have the resources.

You run Brooklyn North, Chief Suarez.

I'll put it to you.

We can cover the most ground in the shortest amount of time

with an investigation conducted

by the 7-4 Squad and Manhattan South Homicide.

Okay. I'll expect a status report no later than 1600.

Until an arrest has been made,

I want you to pretend,

in all five boroughs, this is the only crime

that's been committed.

Why don't you give us a minute? You got it.

This is a kid

who was killed in a housing project in the 7-4.

One of many.

We don't have enough detectives or the overtime budget

to properly investigate his murder,

but suddenly we have everything we need to investigate his?

The murder of a hedge fund guy

gets more press

than the murder of a kid killed in a housing project.

That's what politicians respond to.

That's why we got the marching orders we did.

All of which couldn't be more apparent

to the people living in a housing project.

I'm not telling you to ignore

either one of these homicides.

The mayor's priority is what hits the press.

I'm just saying, just make it look

like it's our priority, too.

If I have a problem, take it up with Psych Services.

No, if you have a problem, you need to take it up with me.

Mr. Hilliard.

They told me somebody'd be by to pick up Juwan's yearbook,

but I figured it'd be faster if I brought it in myself.

May I? Thank you.

I've heard if they don't make an arrest

in the first 48 hours, the odds drop

of ever making an arrest.

I wouldn't say that's true in all cases.

You put it behind you, you move on.

That is not what we do.

Your son was an amateur magician.

Yeah.

He knew how to do some card tricks.

Listen, did he ever play cards for money?

Once in a while.

He'd play poker with some of the young guys.

He'd play dice.

Do you know who he used to play with?

And see if there's any security camera footage

of dice games in the project.

If Juwan knowing how to do card tricks

convinced one of the other players

he was cheating, it might give us a direction.

Wish we had a spare detective to send in that direction.

Just as long as there's

enough detectives working the Scoville homicide.

It does not look good.

Forget how it looks.

No, it's wrong, more importantly.

Make a list of

the ten highest-crime precincts in the city.

- Including ours. - Including ours.

See how many cops get flown out to work parades

or concerts or putting up barriers,

and then you call The Times.

- Really? - Yeah.

I think I'll do that interview now.

That's him.

How long had Oren Scoville been working here?

Almost four years.

You worked directly under him, Ms. Valdez?

Uh-huh.

Looks like a nice place to work.

Yeah.

Well-thought-of?

Great instincts.

Though he did burn people from time to time.

Who did he go to the club with that night,

Mr. Draymore, do you know?

I was supposed to meet him,

but I didn't want to get stuck with the check.

Gay? Straight?

- Other? - Straight. I think.

Let's see... Kevin...

- Reese? - That's me.

- Reese's Pieces. - Oh, you family?

I wish.

He have beef with anyone?

Lots of people.

When he got his bonus,

he ordered a Lamborghini.

Said the custom paint ran him

$800,000.

The crime's gonna bring this city down,

no doubt about it.

How well did you know

Oren Scoville?

Not as well as some, better than others.

I see you live in East New York.

Uh-huh.

This city sucks.

You have a get-well card on your desk.

Have you been sick?

I had some medical issues.

- Yeah. - Sorry to hear that.

Thanks.

Valdez acted like she wasn't sure

whether Scoville was straight or not.

And this is worth mentioning why?

Because the get-well card on her desk was from him,

and it made it sound like they were in a relationship.

Assume they were, so what?

So why'd she pretend to not be sure if he was straight?

My gut tells me

this was an armed robbery that turned into a homicide,

which means we're gonna treat it like an armed robbery

that turned into a homicide.

You know, back when I was on the Warrant Squad with Desmond,

his gut told him the Selkirk Brothers had gone out of state.

Come on, Tommy.

Yeah, my CI told me they were in Far Rockaway,

but First Grade Detective Troy here

didn't want to exceed the overtime cap,

went to the captain to show what a good boy he was.

By the time we picked them up,

they'd killed, what,

two more people?

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. - Hey!

Hey. Come on, guys.

- Come on. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I spoke...

Enough.

I spoke to the HR department.

Isabel Valdez was hospitalized last month.

Yeah? We know for what?

It's medical, they're not allowed to say for what.

Yeah, with all the heat on this investigation,

we shouldn't have a problem getting a subpoena.

She's the only one who works there

who lives in East New York, not far from

where Scoville's body was found.

Might mean something.

That's a nasty bruise you got there.

- I hit him a shot. - I know, but...

he must be strong.

You enjoying yourself?

A little bit?

: Yeah? You like that?

How are you, Officer Quinlan?

I'm okay.

I know it's not what you trained for,

but since the detective squad's been busy

with this hedge fund guy's homicide

and you're living in the project,

you might snoop around,

see what you can find on Juwan Hilliard.

Yeah, I could definitely do that.

: It'd be strictly off-the-record.

Totally.

- Juwan liked to play dice. - All right.

You might want to find out who he played dice with.

Okay, yeah, I will, and believe it or not,

I think that there's some tenants

who will actually open up to me.

♪ Huh Hi, do you have a moment?

Nah.♪ We need to help somebody

♪ I wanna know who... [knocking]

Hi.

I was just wondering if you have any information

on the shoo...

Okay.

♪ Please

♪ Well, you don't wanna do it... ♪

Hey.

How you doing?

I got some extra detergent if you want it.

It's cool, thanks.

Okay. I got the family size even though it's just me.

Cheaper.

I've noticed that

there's a lot of guys around here that play dice.

Seems like that could be a little risky.

Eh, I guess it can be.

Um, I mean, I don't know,

people can sometimes get violent.

Some people do.

They say that might be what happened

to the guy that got killed.

Who's "they"?

The police.

That's you. You're the police.

Yeah, my boss asked me if I heard anything.

I don't know nothing about it.

Okay.

You the cop that's been bothering people?

I don't think we've met.

- I'm Brandy. - Ray-Ray.

I don't mean to be bothering anyone, Ray-Ray.

Yeah, but that's what you've been doing.

Hey, I'm staying down here,

if you want me to switch your load when it's done...

Some of them's my things.

Don't be touching 'em.

So, nobody told you

these were our desks?

Nobody told us anything, Tommy.

I had a list of hedge fund employees.

Where is it?

I put all your papers over... there.

Well, maybe you ought to go get 'em

and bring 'em back over here, huh?

And the vehicle list

from the DMV?What do you want that for?

So I can run it through the license plate database.

Except the focus of our investigation isn't

on hedge fund employees and their vehicles.

It's on robberies in Lower Manhattan.

Maybe you ought to broaden your focus, Phil.

Hey, mami, don't tell us how to do our job.

Whoa... What'd you call me?

Hey, they want to run license plates, let 'em.

Let us? Since when do we need you to let us?

- Huh? - You don't.

Whatever you're inclined to go with,

- go with it. - No disrespect,

but I am the lead investigator.

- I think that should be up to me. - As you were told, Detective,

this is a joint investigation

which my detectives are free to pursue as they see fit,

unimpeded.

Understood?

Deputy Inspector, huh?

Yeah. That's what the oak leaf cluster

on her uniform signifies.

Unbelievable.

We're gonna grab a bite.

- Enjoy yourself. - Mm-hmm.

Think you'll ever give it up to her?

Nah, she don't need me to give it up to her.

Might be good for you.

What, for my career?

- For your soul. - Yeah.

How about this?

Look who paid for Valdez's hospital bill.

Private room, no less.

So what was the nature of your relationship with Oren Scoville?

- We were friends. - And that's it?

What do you mean, "that's it"?

I mean, if you were dating, we'd want to know that.

- Why? - It might suggest you knew the people

he hung out with after work,

maybe you were at the club with him

the night he was killed.

I was in a relationship,

and I was not at the club with him.

Is that mass card for him?

Uh-huh.

Mind if I read it?

St. Abigail.

I go to that church sometimes.

It's not too far from the precinct.

Ah.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'll-I'll get the fresh collard greens.

Hello again.

Philomena?

Alberta, it's not Philomena.

- Oh. - I'm Brandy.

I don't know anyone by that name.

Uh, how about Juwan Hilliard?

Do you know anyone by that name?

He was in my homeroom class.

Oh, were you a school teacher, - Miss Alberta? - I taught

at Grant Monroe High School for 39 years.

- Is that right? - He turned into a polite young man, Juwan.

Unlike that Ray-Ray.

Did those two used to hang out together?

They played dice together.

And that's how Juwan lost his life.

Oh, she don't know - what she's saying. - The hell I don't.

Where could I talk to Ray-Ray?

Do you know?

Most every day he get a chop cheese,

for hisself, at the market on Livonia.

Livonia.

All right, we're going in now. You've been out long enough.

Oh, shoot, don't tell me what to do.

- Thank you, Miss Alberta. - You're welcome.

- You take care, bye-bye. - See you soon.

Oh, hey, Mr. Hilliard. I see him over there.

That's him. God bless him.

Lost his son like that.

There's no sense...

Mr. Hilliard?

How are you doing?

I'm all right.

Whoever's responsible, we're gonna find them.

Someone's gonna find him.

Where you headed?

Back to work.

Inspector, this is Quinlan.

Yeah, I think that James Hilliard might be

taking matters into his own hands.

How you doing, Mr. Hilliard?

Any news?

We're running down some possible witnesses.

We should know more in a day or so.

Ain't nobody in that project gonna talk to the police.

I hope you're wrong about that.

You can hope all you want, it ain't gonna happen.

You're hanging around the housing project.

Hoping they talk to you?

Ain't no law against that, is there?

Your son wouldn't want you to get locked up, would he?

It makes no difference what happens to me.

If someone's killed because of what you believe is

their connection to your son's murder,

we'll come after for you.

It makes no difference.

Have Sandeford pick up this guy Ray-Ray from Ruskin Gardens.

He'll know who he is.

- And what's he charged with? - Nothing yet.

But the longer he's on the street,

the more chance Juwan Hilliard's father's gonna kill him.

What do you think of this? Or a high hat like that?

Sorry I'm late.

Oh, quite all right.

Captain Yenko was just showing me pictures

of old police uniforms.

It's an interesting progression, don't you think?

It is.

Well, I will leave you to it.

I'll be in my office, if you need me.

Thanks for taking the time to see me.

My pleasure.

I love that suit, by the way.

Thank you.

So, you get to wear your own clothes to and from work

and then you change into a uniform

when you get here, is that right?

Vanessa, I'm happy

to answer questions about my clothes,

how being a precinct commander impacts my social life,

even questions about my hair.

But before I do that,

I want to contrast the handling of two homicide investigations

because I think it says a lot about

where our city's at right now.

What does it say?

That we value the lives of people

based on how much money they make

and what zip code they live in.

Do you mind if I take out my tape recorder?

Not at all.

Here, let me just...

Over the course of five days,

within the 74th precinct, two bodies were discovered.

Can't believe we let those guys take over the squad room.

So, Valdez's medical issue was being pregnant.

She lost the baby, ran up

a $65,000 hospital bill...

You notice how Manhattan South Homicide...

...that Oren Scoville put on his credit card.

...never fail to mention they're First Grade?

How they always manage to slip it into a conversation?

You know? Tommy, focus.

All right.

All right. Right. What?

Scoville paid the hospital bill,

but it looks like the one who went to see her every day

- was Kevin Reese. - Reese's Pieces.

Huh.

So, you're saying a love triangle?

I'm saying it's worth asking that question.

You know what, Tommy?

Let me go talk to her by myself.

I just think she'll be less uptight if it's just me.

Okay, well, knock yourself out.

Hey, honey. What's going on?

Corinne, I-I...

Corrine, I can't arrest an electrician for putting in

the wrong capacity circuit breaker, I know you know that.

You got more questions?

Just a couple things I forgot to ask.

Detective Morales is here.

- Ah, you get a twofer. - Mr. Reese?

I love when that happens.

Care for some frittata?

A man who cooks.

You're a lucky girl.

- Tell her. - He cooks.

He went to visit you in the hospital every day.

How do you know that?

We have these crazy things called license plate readers

to take pictures of license plates.

Tells us where the cars were...

which, in Kevin's case, was in the garage

next to Lenox Hill the week you were there.

She didn't want a solid week

of hospital food, - thank you very much. - Uh-huh.

Did Oren Scoville come to the hospital?

Oren was in Brussels that week.

Not that he couldn't have come.

Don't let's get into that, Kevin.

Sí.

You're gonna start speaking Spanish now

so I don't know what you're saying?

I asked if it was Scoville who got her pregnant.

- And she said yes. - Correct.

Kevin and I are just friends,

right, Kevin?

It's why I went to the hospital every day. Mm.

Which is why you're here now.

- Why I brought her red licorice. - Mm-hmm.

Can you maybe put that knife down?

- She had an ectopic pregnancy. - Mm-hmm.

She lost the baby.

She had no one to look after her.

Oh, my God, Kevin, would you put that knife down?

Except me, right?

I love her,

and I looked after her.

Ladies.

What happened to you?

Nothing happened.

It wasn't nothing,

what happened to you.

Wasn't nothing what happened to that boy.

Ray-Ray got picked up, I heard.

You would know more about it than I would, Officer.

I know that since you're doing his laundry,

that probably means he lives with you, too.

He lives with her,

and they both live with me.

Is it your name that's on the lease, Miss Alberta?

Yes, it is.

Then you can give us permission to search that apartment.

What would she want to do that for?

So that there's one less lunatic with a gun living here.

You go right ahead.

Not sure why you're having Morales

conduct this interview, Inspector.

- It's her collar. - Was I talking to you?

It is her collar.

And what did she collar him for? Waving a knife around?

Said it before, I'll say it again,

this was a robbery that led to a homicide.

I was chopping peppers and onions,

that's why I had a knife in my hand.

- That is the only reason. - I know.

I definitely wasn't gonna stab anyone.

Though I did tell you to put the knife down,

and you didn't put the knife down.

I was upset, okay?

You were dredging up some painful things,

and I blanked on the knife.

I-I wasn't even aware I was holding it.

I get it.

I think we might be able to make

the assault with a deadly weapon charge go away.

Thank you.

I appreciate that.

It is painful

when your feelings for someone aren't reciprocated.

I actually think Isabel was gonna come around

as far as that goes.

Oh, yeah?

Sure, she was infatuated with Oren, which I understand.

That much money takes your breath away.

I think she knew there was no future in it.

Have you seen this?

It's a joke.

"The Scoville Fund, Isabel Valdez,

Vice President."There's no such thing as The Scoville Fund.

Worse that it was a fantasy, isn't it?

That it was...

her fantasy.

That a brownskin girl from East New York

would want to be taken care of in a way that

no one in her family, no one she knew, ever was.

That was never gonna happen.

Look at his history.

He cheats on his ex-wife,

cheats on his ex-girlfriend with Isabel,

and then cheats on Isabel with this Russian girl,

who worked the door at that club.

Isabel didn't want to hear it!

How'd you know the girl that worked the door was Russian?

'Cause I followed him there.

And I saw the two of them making out

there on the street,

right before he went to see Isabel.

Did you follow him there, too?

I wanted her to know

who she was dealing with.

How long were you waiting for him outside her building?

An hour. Two hours.

That was before or after the light went out?

Before or after the light went out?

I stood out there,

looking up at that window, and I knew

she was in that room with him.

And I imagined what he told her

when she said she smelled

that Russian girl's perfume on him.

She wouldn't have believed him,

but she'd laugh

like it didn't matter.

She'd laugh, and then she'd go to bed with him.

And when he came outside, you were waiting.

Yeah.

Yeah, I was waiting.

And you shot him.

In your own words.

Wow. You called it, Des.

A robbery that led to a homicide. Wow.

Am I ever glad we had you leading the way.

Hmm.

Feels good, doesn't it?

- Yeah, it does. - Yeah.

: Yeah, it does.

So, how is it riding around with Sandeford?

Has its moments.

Yeah, is he imparting his steady stream of wisdom on you?

It's a steady stream; I don't know that it's all wisdom.

But some of it is.

Siì.

Where'd you learn to speak, uh, Italian?

Oh, I lived in Italy when I was 16.

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

Had an Italian boyfriend and everything.

Long story.

I am happy to announce an arrest has been made

in the murder of Oren Scoville.

This was not a random incident.

The individual knew Mr. Scoville.

It appears to have arisen

out of a dispute between them.

- Stand where I was standing. - It's all right.

It's bad enough they're not letting you do the walkout.

When this is on the 6:00 news, I want you on camera.

Just stand where I was standing.

Our message to criminals is, if you do violence,

the full resources of the NYPD will be

wholly committed to your capture and prosecution.

I would also like to offer

my sincere thanks and deepest gratitude

to the Manhattan South Homicide Squad

and the 7-4 Detective Squad.

- Now I'll take some questions. - Sir, how long did it take you to get him?

48 hours.

It's a very excellent example

of remarkable police work

and detective work.

I got your message.

We found what we're pretty sure is the gun

and a witness that connects it to Ray-Ray.

The D.A. will take it to a grand jury.

But if he pleads not guilty, there's gonna be a trial.

I don't think I can stand to go to no trial.

I do want to thank you, though.

You don't have to thank me.

You let me rest a little easier,

and you didn't make me shoot nobody.

And for that...

...I thank you.

I'm glad for both of those things.

- Take a walk? - Sure.

I'll meet you outside.

So I got a call from The Times

looking for a quote.

You say something nice?

Oh, yeah.

I think did better than that, I saved your career.

How so?

I know I said that

press coverage can affect policy,

but you talk to reporters about ongoing investigations?

You characterize a murder in a housing project

being treated as a "misdemeanor homicide"?

I had hoped it might lead the department to

being a little more evenhanded

with the allocation of personnel. Huh.

All that would've done was get you stripped of your command.

Would've?

I have a friend at The Times.

He's gonna keep what you said about

more cops working parades than homicides,

but he's gonna take your name out of it.

It'll be, uh, an anonymous source.

Well-informed

anonymous source.

You're running interference on me now?

Regina, I didn't make you

precinct commander as a token of my esteem.

I did it because you care about winning trust

just as much as I do.

And from what I've seen in the...

the short time you've been here,

I made the right decision.

I'm glad you feel that way.

No, I-I agree with your enforcement priorities,

the way you handle your personnel,

and I suspect that within time,

you're gonna start weeding out

all those cops that don't get with the program.

Just like we talked about over the years.

Yeah, that's right. All those things.

All right, I have to get going.

I have my Psych Services meeting.

No, it's right here.

You said you didn't care for windowless offices,

so I-I arranged for them to come here.

That her?

Come on, you got this.

Talk to you tomorrow.

Dr. Sorenson?

Inspector Haywood.[chuckles]: Yeah.

Hey, thanks for meeting me here.

Uh, not a problem.

I don't know what the, um, minimum number of sessions

the department's currently requiring...

Everyone's different.

Well, hopefully we won't have to do this too many times.

I don't usually dwell on these incidents.

Probably that's a good thing, right?

I think so. I think so.

I don't have any regrets about the shooting.

Um, well, what I mean to say is that there's...

I-- There's not a lot to say about it.

No nightmares?

Nope.

Difficulty sleeping? No.

I mean, not once my head hits the pillow, no.

The shooting you were involved in may very well

not rise to the level of personal trauma.

Exactly.

And today I was able to tell a man

whose son was murdered that we were able to make an arrest.

That must've meant a lot to him.

I think it did.

Your father was a cop.

Yeah.

I know he left the job under difficult circumstances.

I'm sorry, excuse me, I'm...

I'm here because the job requires me to talk about

having shot someone. It...

It doesn't require me to talk about my father.

- Fair enough. - Yeah, of course it's fair enough, because...

That's why we're...

You drinking...

coffee, maybe I should have some tea.

Let me grab you a menu.

I'll be right over.

Where do you want to start?

- Tea, right? - Yes, thanks.

You're welcome.
