1
00:00:06,180 --> 00:00:08,921
What do we got?22-year-old, DOA.
2
00:00:08,965 --> 00:00:11,141
Female Black identified
as Kayla Martin.
3
00:00:11,185 --> 00:00:12,055
Lived in 4A.
4
00:00:12,099 --> 00:00:13,883
Super found her
this morning.
5
00:00:13,926 --> 00:00:15,363
Any idea
when she ended up here?
6
00:00:15,406 --> 00:00:17,713
Super says she wasn't here
when he dumped the garbage
7
00:00:17,756 --> 00:00:19,062
at 11:00 p.m.,
8
00:00:19,106 --> 00:00:21,064
so it had to be
sometime overnight.
9
00:00:21,108 --> 00:00:22,283
Okay.
10
00:00:28,158 --> 00:00:29,420
And there's
something else.
11
00:00:29,464 --> 00:00:30,726
One of the neighbors
said the victim
12
00:00:30,769 --> 00:00:31,944
recently transitioned.
13
00:00:31,988 --> 00:00:33,250
Transitioned?
14
00:00:33,294 --> 00:00:35,774
What do you mean,
-male to female?
-Yes.
15
00:00:36,601 --> 00:00:38,386
She was transgender.
16
00:00:49,136 --> 00:00:52,052
This case dropped
on my desk this morning.
17
00:00:55,620 --> 00:00:58,101
Local gang robbed a shoe store
last night.
18
00:00:58,145 --> 00:01:00,495
Robbery with a side of assault.
19
00:01:00,538 --> 00:01:02,192
Actually, that was the perp
taking the beating.
20
00:01:02,236 --> 00:01:03,889
Then who's the tough guy
in the hat?
21
00:01:03,933 --> 00:01:07,371
Devin Brooks-- member of the
Urban Defenders Safety Patrol.
22
00:01:07,415 --> 00:01:09,852
Which clearly doesn't include
safety for the guy he's beating.
23
00:01:09,895 --> 00:01:11,158
Witnesses say
it was the perp
24
00:01:11,201 --> 00:01:12,594
that threw the first punch.
25
00:01:12,637 --> 00:01:15,292
And Mr. Brooks had the right
to defend himself
26
00:01:15,336 --> 00:01:18,034
until there was
no longer a threat.
27
00:01:18,861 --> 00:01:20,080
How's the victim?
28
00:01:20,123 --> 00:01:22,647
Perp is in the hospital.
Broken face,
29
00:01:22,691 --> 00:01:24,040
internal bleeding.
30
00:01:24,084 --> 00:01:25,607
And you're okay with all this?
31
00:01:25,650 --> 00:01:28,914
No. But him and his scumbag pals
were looting the place,
32
00:01:28,958 --> 00:01:30,612
throwing punches.
33
00:01:30,655 --> 00:01:33,876
I guess they found out
there are no free Jordans.
34
00:01:33,919 --> 00:01:36,531
It doesn't work that way,
and you know it.
35
00:01:36,574 --> 00:01:38,968
Cop takes a punch
and does what Brooks did,
36
00:01:39,011 --> 00:01:40,491
he's doing his job.
37
00:01:40,535 --> 00:01:43,059
A T-shirt and a funny hat
does not make you a cop,
38
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:44,756
and it certainly
doesn't give you the right
39
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,672
to use somebody else's head
as a punching bag.
40
00:01:47,716 --> 00:01:49,805
I agree.
But the Urban Defenders
41
00:01:49,848 --> 00:01:51,807
do a lot of good in this city.
42
00:01:51,850 --> 00:01:53,330
I'm just saying.
43
00:01:54,331 --> 00:01:55,767
Fine.
44
00:01:55,811 --> 00:01:57,334
I will meet with Mr. Brooks
45
00:01:57,378 --> 00:01:59,684
and then decide
whether to charge him.
46
00:01:59,728 --> 00:02:00,816
Happy?
47
00:02:00,859 --> 00:02:02,861
Delirious.
48
00:02:03,688 --> 00:02:04,907
What's going on?
49
00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:06,256
Got complaints
about these guys drinking
50
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:07,866
and harassing pedestrians--
not the first time.
51
00:02:09,129 --> 00:02:10,652
All right, you're
disturbing the peace.
52
00:02:10,695 --> 00:02:13,829
Take off, or you're all going in
for disorderly conduct.
53
00:02:13,872 --> 00:02:16,005
Must be a slow day
in pig city, huh?
54
00:02:16,048 --> 00:02:17,311
What's your name,
smart-ass?
55
00:02:17,354 --> 00:02:19,139
Oh, hi, baby.
Looking good.
56
00:02:19,182 --> 00:02:21,053
-Watch your mouth.
-Oh.
Ooh...
57
00:02:21,097 --> 00:02:23,186
I made her girlfriend mad.
58
00:02:23,230 --> 00:02:25,014
Ha. At least I got one.
59
00:02:25,057 --> 00:02:26,798
-You got a big mouth, bitch.
-Yeah?
60
00:02:26,842 --> 00:02:28,148
Yeah.
61
00:02:29,192 --> 00:02:30,628
Hey!
62
00:02:32,369 --> 00:02:33,718
Put your hands
behind your back.
63
00:02:33,762 --> 00:02:35,894
Stop fighting us.
64
00:02:38,201 --> 00:02:39,463
-Got him?
-Yep.
65
00:02:39,507 --> 00:02:40,638
Okay.
66
00:02:40,682 --> 00:02:42,249
-Stay down.
-All right.
67
00:02:42,292 --> 00:02:43,293
Tommy Simms.
68
00:02:43,337 --> 00:02:45,469
You just made
a big mistake, Tommy.
69
00:02:45,513 --> 00:02:46,905
Roll over. Come on,
70
00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:48,820
get on your knees-- you've
done this before, I'm sure.
71
00:02:49,604 --> 00:02:51,519
Like throwing sucker punches,
you little prick?
72
00:02:51,562 --> 00:02:53,521
Hey, don't do it!
He's got it coming, Eddie.
73
00:02:53,564 --> 00:02:54,870
Damn right he does!
74
00:02:54,913 --> 00:02:56,306
Hey, it's wrong. Hey!
75
00:02:56,350 --> 00:02:58,047
Hey! Don't do it.
It's not right.
76
00:02:58,090 --> 00:02:59,483
Stop!
77
00:02:59,527 --> 00:03:01,442
We got company.
78
00:03:02,921 --> 00:03:05,185
You just got
real lucky.
79
00:03:05,228 --> 00:03:07,404
Let's go.
80
00:03:10,668 --> 00:03:11,756
When?
81
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:12,844
This afternoon.
82
00:03:12,888 --> 00:03:14,672
If I return their calls,
83
00:03:14,716 --> 00:03:16,065
would that buy some time?
84
00:03:16,108 --> 00:03:18,110
Only if you have
absolute proof the reports
85
00:03:18,154 --> 00:03:20,069
-are in error.
-Going back to the mid-'90s?
86
00:03:20,112 --> 00:03:21,505
How am I gonna do that?
87
00:03:21,549 --> 00:03:22,506
Exactly.
88
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:24,900
Aw, man, man.
89
00:03:24,943 --> 00:03:26,118
Man, oh, man.
90
00:03:26,162 --> 00:03:28,382
I'm so sorry, Sid.
91
00:03:30,775 --> 00:03:33,648
Just between us, do you think
the reports are accurate?
92
00:03:33,691 --> 00:03:35,258
No!
93
00:03:35,302 --> 00:03:37,086
No. But do they have some truth?
94
00:03:37,129 --> 00:03:38,435
Probably.
95
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:40,655
And nowadays
that's enough to hang you,
96
00:03:40,698 --> 00:03:42,091
you're a veteran cop.
97
00:03:45,790 --> 00:03:47,662
Tell Frank?
98
00:03:47,705 --> 00:03:49,272
Mr. Corleone is a man
99
00:03:49,316 --> 00:03:52,971
who insists on hearing bad news
immediately.
100
00:03:54,973 --> 00:03:57,237
So yeah, let's tell him.
101
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,543
The Daily News did a deep dive
102
00:03:59,587 --> 00:04:02,503
into every single NYPD
disciplinary record
103
00:04:02,546 --> 00:04:04,766
-made public.
-I knew unsealing those records
104
00:04:04,809 --> 00:04:06,202
was gonna be a disaster.
105
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:07,464
-We all did.
But it was allowed,
106
00:04:07,508 --> 00:04:09,249
and there's
no going back.
107
00:04:09,292 --> 00:04:11,338
Their reporting
108
00:04:11,381 --> 00:04:14,123
focuses on excessive
force complaints against
109
00:04:14,166 --> 00:04:16,821
one particular cop
with over 25 years
110
00:04:16,865 --> 00:04:18,519
of service.
111
00:04:20,085 --> 00:04:22,349
That would be Sid?
112
00:04:22,392 --> 00:04:24,307
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
113
00:04:25,177 --> 00:04:26,962
When?
Online
114
00:04:27,005 --> 00:04:28,877
today; in print tomorrow.
115
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,531
How bad?
116
00:04:31,532 --> 00:04:33,273
They wouldn't share.
117
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,886
Look, we vetted you
under some pretty hot lights
118
00:04:37,929 --> 00:04:39,540
before we raised you up here.
119
00:04:39,583 --> 00:04:43,065
I can't imagine
we missed anything important.
120
00:04:43,108 --> 00:04:44,849
But the lights
are different now.
121
00:04:45,676 --> 00:04:47,983
Well, one thing's
still the same.
122
00:04:48,026 --> 00:04:50,638
I got your back.
123
00:05:20,711 --> 00:05:22,974
Thank you.
124
00:05:24,672 --> 00:05:25,977
Hi.
125
00:05:26,021 --> 00:05:28,415
Hi. Uh, Detective Reagan.
126
00:05:28,458 --> 00:05:30,068
This is my partner,
Detective Baez.
127
00:05:30,112 --> 00:05:32,680
Do you have a momentfor a word?
About what?
128
00:05:32,723 --> 00:05:34,986
Um, your friend Kayla.
129
00:05:35,030 --> 00:05:36,901
Uh...
130
00:05:36,945 --> 00:05:38,686
She hasn't been answering
my texts.
131
00:05:38,729 --> 00:05:40,644
I-Is she okay?
132
00:05:40,688 --> 00:05:42,559
Unfortunately, no.
133
00:05:42,603 --> 00:05:45,997
Her body was discovered outside
of her building this morning.
134
00:05:47,738 --> 00:05:51,394
Oh, my God.
135
00:05:52,787 --> 00:05:54,136
You were her last contact.
136
00:05:54,179 --> 00:05:56,007
God, this is my fault.
137
00:05:56,051 --> 00:05:57,008
What are you talking about?
138
00:05:57,052 --> 00:05:59,184
I dragged Kayla out
139
00:05:59,228 --> 00:06:00,534
to a bar last night.
140
00:06:01,665 --> 00:06:02,840
They were hosting a trans night,
141
00:06:02,884 --> 00:06:04,668
and-and sh-she didn't want
to go.
142
00:06:04,712 --> 00:06:06,540
You went with her?
143
00:06:07,497 --> 00:06:10,326
Kayla was in the process
of her transition,
144
00:06:10,370 --> 00:06:12,328
and I just
wanted her to...
145
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:14,591
cut loose a little,
have some fun.
146
00:06:14,635 --> 00:06:15,853
Did she?
147
00:06:15,897 --> 00:06:18,029
She-she met a guy.
148
00:06:18,073 --> 00:06:19,596
You got a name for us?
149
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,076
No, I-I didn't meet him.
150
00:06:21,119 --> 00:06:22,425
Brown hair, uh,
151
00:06:22,469 --> 00:06:23,339
athletic,
152
00:06:23,383 --> 00:06:24,688
maybe six
feet tall,
153
00:06:24,732 --> 00:06:26,168
in his 30s.
154
00:06:26,211 --> 00:06:27,691
And she left with this guy?
155
00:06:27,735 --> 00:06:29,171
Yeah.
156
00:06:30,215 --> 00:06:31,652
I encouraged her.
157
00:06:33,218 --> 00:06:34,872
I'm such an idiot.
158
00:06:34,916 --> 00:06:36,657
It's not your fault.
159
00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:38,180
Was he trans?
160
00:06:38,223 --> 00:06:40,095
No. But...
161
00:06:40,138 --> 00:06:43,533
most of us don't wear signs
around our necks.
162
00:06:45,361 --> 00:06:47,929
I promise you we'll do
all we can to find this guy.
163
00:06:47,972 --> 00:06:49,670
Uncle Brian's Bar.
164
00:06:49,713 --> 00:06:50,714
Broome and Bowery.
165
00:06:50,758 --> 00:06:53,064
If you think of anything else,
166
00:06:53,108 --> 00:06:55,589
please don't hesitate to call,
okay?
167
00:06:56,851 --> 00:06:58,505
Very sorry for your loss.
168
00:06:58,548 --> 00:07:00,202
Who takes a swing
169
00:07:00,245 --> 00:07:02,334
at a copin broad daylight,
170
00:07:02,378 --> 00:07:04,598
surroundedby other cops?
Yeah.
171
00:07:04,641 --> 00:07:06,643
I was hoping we left that crap
in the rearview mirror
172
00:07:06,687 --> 00:07:08,079
along with 2020.
173
00:07:08,123 --> 00:07:10,473
Thank Godhe is behind bars now.
174
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:13,433
Expedited to arraignment.
175
00:07:13,476 --> 00:07:14,825
What?
176
00:07:14,869 --> 00:07:16,218
Judge released him ROR.
177
00:07:16,261 --> 00:07:17,349
That's a joke.
178
00:07:17,393 --> 00:07:18,873
-Yeah. A bad one.
-I bet if he'd
179
00:07:18,916 --> 00:07:21,266
slugged a judge, Simms
would be in jail right now.
180
00:07:21,310 --> 00:07:23,094
Next time he screws up,
we'll take him down.
181
00:07:23,138 --> 00:07:24,966
Count on it.
182
00:07:28,273 --> 00:07:30,798
Thank youfor coming in, Mr. Brooks.
183
00:07:30,841 --> 00:07:32,321
Am I being charged with a crime?
184
00:07:32,364 --> 00:07:33,583
-Not yet.
-All right, I'm
glad to hear that.
185
00:07:33,627 --> 00:07:35,106
'Cause, to be honest,
Ms. Reagan,
186
00:07:35,150 --> 00:07:36,499
I don't think I
did anything wrong.
187
00:07:36,543 --> 00:07:38,501
You put a man in the hospital,
Mr. Brooks.
188
00:07:38,545 --> 00:07:41,939
-I defended myself.
-The video shows you doinga lot more than that.
189
00:07:41,983 --> 00:07:44,115
Look, I was scared. I didn't
know if he had a weapon.
190
00:07:44,159 --> 00:07:46,248
So you're saying
you feared for your life?
191
00:07:46,291 --> 00:07:47,989
Yeah. It's a scary situation.
192
00:07:48,032 --> 00:07:50,513
Which you chose
to put yourself in.
193
00:07:50,557 --> 00:07:52,297
Yeah, I chose
to put myself in harm's way
194
00:07:52,341 --> 00:07:53,647
to keep innocent people safe.
195
00:07:53,690 --> 00:07:55,475
And that's exactly what I did
last night.
196
00:07:56,301 --> 00:07:58,390
You have martial arts training,
Mr. Brooks?
197
00:07:58,434 --> 00:08:00,523
I'm a third-degree black belt.
198
00:08:00,567 --> 00:08:02,394
But karate's
a defensive discipline.
199
00:08:02,438 --> 00:08:04,962
I saw a lot of offense
on the surveillance video.
200
00:08:05,006 --> 00:08:06,964
I risked my life
to protect that store.
201
00:08:07,008 --> 00:08:08,052
Which is admirable.
202
00:08:08,096 --> 00:08:10,141
But the laws still apply here.
203
00:08:14,363 --> 00:08:17,148
Look, I get it.
You have a job to do.
204
00:08:17,192 --> 00:08:19,281
But that guy attacked me
while committing a crime,
205
00:08:19,324 --> 00:08:20,543
and he paid the price.
206
00:08:20,587 --> 00:08:22,066
I'm not the
bad guy here.
207
00:08:22,110 --> 00:08:24,286
He is.
208
00:08:36,385 --> 00:08:38,169
Yo!
209
00:08:38,213 --> 00:08:40,215
It's the twolittle piggies.
210
00:08:40,258 --> 00:08:42,347
-Y'all missed me, huh?
-Yeah...
211
00:08:42,391 --> 00:08:44,436
We're here to talk to Tommy.
212
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,700
The rest of you can take off.
213
00:08:46,743 --> 00:08:48,179
Aw.
214
00:08:48,223 --> 00:08:49,877
Get out of here now.
215
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,574
They're serious.
216
00:08:51,618 --> 00:08:53,054
Yeah.
217
00:08:54,969 --> 00:08:56,492
You know,even a box of rocks knows
218
00:08:56,536 --> 00:08:59,103
you can't go aroundpunching police officers.
219
00:08:59,147 --> 00:09:01,541
-Hey, I don't know.
-You could've fooled me.
220
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,499
You think you're a badass, huh?
221
00:09:03,543 --> 00:09:05,109
'Cause you sucker punched a cop?
222
00:09:05,153 --> 00:09:06,328
You better back off.
223
00:09:06,371 --> 00:09:08,373
Or what,
you'll take a swing at me?
224
00:09:08,417 --> 00:09:10,027
-Rachel.
-Come on.
225
00:09:10,071 --> 00:09:11,333
Give me your best shot.
226
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,205
Go ahead, Tommy.
227
00:09:14,249 --> 00:09:15,467
First one's free.
228
00:09:15,511 --> 00:09:16,947
We sh-- we should take off.
229
00:09:16,991 --> 00:09:18,558
No?
230
00:09:21,735 --> 00:09:23,258
Is your dad here?
231
00:09:23,301 --> 00:09:24,651
You arresting that man, Officer?
232
00:09:24,694 --> 00:09:26,566
No, Sergeant.
233
00:09:27,697 --> 00:09:28,916
What are you doing here?
234
00:09:28,959 --> 00:09:30,570
Heard this jobcome over the air.
235
00:09:30,613 --> 00:09:31,658
Get out of here.
236
00:09:31,701 --> 00:09:33,485
You just got real lucky.
237
00:09:34,443 --> 00:09:35,575
Anytime.
238
00:09:37,838 --> 00:09:39,187
The hell was that?
239
00:09:39,230 --> 00:09:41,537
We got a call
that clown was back at it.
240
00:09:41,581 --> 00:09:42,930
So you decided to call him out?
241
00:09:42,973 --> 00:09:43,974
I was just talking to him.
242
00:09:44,018 --> 00:09:45,410
That's not what I saw.
243
00:09:46,890 --> 00:09:48,283
We don't do revenge.
244
00:09:48,326 --> 00:09:49,327
Understood?
245
00:09:49,371 --> 00:09:50,590
-Yes, Sergeant.
-Yeah.
246
00:09:50,633 --> 00:09:52,069
He breaks the law,
you collar him.
247
00:09:52,113 --> 00:09:54,463
Otherwise,
let's get back to work.
248
00:10:06,127 --> 00:10:08,129
Scuse me. Detective Reagan.
249
00:10:08,172 --> 00:10:09,609
This is my partner,
Detective Baez.
250
00:10:09,652 --> 00:10:12,263
Were you working herelast night?
251
00:10:12,307 --> 00:10:14,135
I'm always working.
252
00:10:14,178 --> 00:10:15,919
Though I'm sure
I could get some time off
253
00:10:15,963 --> 00:10:18,487
if a handsome detective wanted
to cuff me up
254
00:10:18,530 --> 00:10:19,923
and take me down to the station.
255
00:10:19,967 --> 00:10:22,796
Thank you, but that
won't be necessary.
256
00:10:22,839 --> 00:10:23,840
Too bad.
257
00:10:23,884 --> 00:10:25,189
We have reason to believe
258
00:10:25,233 --> 00:10:27,191
that a young woman was murdered
259
00:10:27,235 --> 00:10:29,063
by someone
she left here with last night.
260
00:10:29,106 --> 00:10:32,283
My God, it never stops.
261
00:10:32,327 --> 00:10:33,589
We'd like to see
your security camera footage
262
00:10:33,633 --> 00:10:35,286
and credit card receipts,
please.
263
00:10:35,330 --> 00:10:37,288
I'm sorry.
We don't have cameras here.
264
00:10:37,332 --> 00:10:39,290
And this is
a cash-only establishment.
265
00:10:39,334 --> 00:10:40,857
-Oh.
-Our clientele
266
00:10:40,901 --> 00:10:42,163
values their privacy.
267
00:10:42,206 --> 00:10:43,338
-Right.
-Well,
268
00:10:43,381 --> 00:10:44,948
do you remember serving a guy
269
00:10:44,992 --> 00:10:46,646
with brown hair in his 30s?
270
00:10:46,689 --> 00:10:48,299
Lips here's kidding, right?
271
00:10:48,343 --> 00:10:50,650
A million faces pass
through this place,
272
00:10:50,693 --> 00:10:53,130
none as pretty
as your partner's.
273
00:10:53,174 --> 00:10:54,305
Will you cut it out?
274
00:10:54,349 --> 00:10:56,481
We are trying to solve
a murder here,
275
00:10:56,525 --> 00:10:58,309
one that could've happened
in your bar.
276
00:10:58,353 --> 00:10:59,876
Look, Missy, I've been dealing
277
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:01,617
with this kind of crap
for years.
278
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:04,489
Call me jaded, but I know
these cases never get solved.
279
00:11:04,533 --> 00:11:05,708
Let's get out of here.
280
00:11:05,752 --> 00:11:07,492
Okay.
281
00:11:07,536 --> 00:11:10,278
If you remember anything,
give us a call, okay?
282
00:11:13,324 --> 00:11:15,152
Thanks.
283
00:11:16,632 --> 00:11:18,155
Well, that was
something else.
284
00:11:18,199 --> 00:11:19,679
What's going on with you?
285
00:11:19,722 --> 00:11:21,332
Something bothering you
about this case?
286
00:11:21,376 --> 00:11:23,030
What? No.
287
00:11:23,073 --> 00:11:24,596
You sure about that?
288
00:11:26,773 --> 00:11:30,211
All right, look.
I'm not judging anyone.
289
00:11:30,254 --> 00:11:31,603
I...
290
00:11:31,647 --> 00:11:33,518
I've just never been around it,
291
00:11:33,562 --> 00:11:37,174
so I just don't really get
the whole transgender thing.
292
00:11:37,218 --> 00:11:38,698
You don't have to get it, yet.
293
00:11:38,741 --> 00:11:40,612
What we have to get is
a murderer.
294
00:11:40,656 --> 00:11:42,005
Yeah, I don't need you
to tell me that.
295
00:11:42,049 --> 00:11:44,051
Good. Well,
let's get a canvass going.
296
00:11:44,094 --> 00:11:45,617
Okay? 'Cause somebody,
297
00:11:45,661 --> 00:11:48,055
or some camera, saw those two
leave this bar together.
298
00:11:48,098 --> 00:11:50,579
All right.
Okay.
299
00:11:51,928 --> 00:11:53,147
He'll see you now.
300
00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:54,714
Thank you.
301
00:12:00,023 --> 00:12:01,721
Mr. Mayor.
302
00:12:01,764 --> 00:12:03,244
Morning.
303
00:12:06,421 --> 00:12:09,859
I'm no easier to get rid of
if I'm standing.
304
00:12:10,904 --> 00:12:12,949
Please, have a seat.
305
00:12:12,993 --> 00:12:14,734
Thank you.
306
00:12:14,777 --> 00:12:17,388
But let's cut
through the part
307
00:12:17,432 --> 00:12:19,651
where flags wave
and music swells.
308
00:12:21,653 --> 00:12:24,569
Been a while.
I've missed our little chats.
309
00:12:26,310 --> 00:12:28,225
Hmm.
310
00:12:28,269 --> 00:12:30,271
So...
311
00:12:32,055 --> 00:12:34,144
Lieutenant Gormley stays.
312
00:12:34,188 --> 00:12:36,320
Lieutenant Gormley goes.
313
00:12:36,364 --> 00:12:37,931
I've read the complaints.
314
00:12:37,974 --> 00:12:39,106
Not the briefing,
315
00:12:39,149 --> 00:12:40,585
the actual complaints.
316
00:12:40,629 --> 00:12:42,805
Accusations from decades ago.
317
00:12:42,849 --> 00:12:45,416
Roughing up a mother of five
in front of her kids?
318
00:12:45,460 --> 00:12:47,244
A career criminal
with a rap sheet
319
00:12:47,288 --> 00:12:48,811
that would make your toes curl.
320
00:12:48,855 --> 00:12:51,596
Handcuffing a minor
to the bumper of a radio car.
321
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,424
To chase down the crew
322
00:12:53,468 --> 00:12:55,731
who beat a senior
within an inch of his life.
323
00:12:55,775 --> 00:12:58,516
We could play this all morning,
but we're not gonna.
324
00:12:59,387 --> 00:13:01,781
Mr. Mayor...
325
00:13:02,869 --> 00:13:07,134
You need to look at the context
of each complaint.
326
00:13:07,177 --> 00:13:08,613
Actually, I don't.
327
00:13:08,657 --> 00:13:11,312
I need to look at them
the way the public does,
328
00:13:11,355 --> 00:13:12,966
the city council does.
329
00:13:13,749 --> 00:13:16,317
Then you're not doing your job.
330
00:13:17,187 --> 00:13:19,494
Nobody's gonna look at them
like you do, okay?
331
00:13:19,537 --> 00:13:20,800
They will if you lead.
332
00:13:20,843 --> 00:13:23,280
Right now I need to lead you,
333
00:13:23,324 --> 00:13:25,195
to embracing the fact
334
00:13:25,239 --> 00:13:26,501
that these kinds of stains
335
00:13:26,544 --> 00:13:29,112
don't come out
with time or excuses.
336
00:13:29,156 --> 00:13:32,942
Each one was investigated
and no wrongdoing was found.
337
00:13:32,986 --> 00:13:35,118
But somebody somewhere
in your department
338
00:13:35,162 --> 00:13:36,337
didn't think to shred 'em?
339
00:13:37,860 --> 00:13:40,384
That's not the way it's done.
340
00:13:40,428 --> 00:13:41,864
Then that's on you guys.
341
00:13:41,908 --> 00:13:44,432
Your predecessor at One PP.
Whoever.
342
00:13:44,475 --> 00:13:45,868
Who it's not on is me.
343
00:13:45,912 --> 00:13:48,653
That's the alternative?
We failed to cover it up?
344
00:13:48,697 --> 00:13:52,962
Look, I get that it's your guy.
345
00:13:53,006 --> 00:13:55,312
One of my 35,000 guys.
346
00:13:55,356 --> 00:13:56,879
Well, this guy's in the news,
347
00:13:56,923 --> 00:13:59,142
and not for catching the baby
fell out the window.
348
00:13:59,186 --> 00:14:00,665
You lost me.
349
00:14:00,709 --> 00:14:03,494
Okay. Simply put...
350
00:14:03,538 --> 00:14:05,670
let him go and move on.
351
00:14:05,714 --> 00:14:06,802
Or?
352
00:14:06,846 --> 00:14:10,240
You really want me
to spell it out?
353
00:14:10,284 --> 00:14:12,329
Okay.
354
00:14:12,373 --> 00:14:14,810
You're good at policing,
355
00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:17,204
but you don't play well
with others.
356
00:14:17,247 --> 00:14:20,729
At some point, the latter
outweighs the former,
357
00:14:20,772 --> 00:14:23,775
and that point's right
around the corner.
358
00:14:26,343 --> 00:14:28,780
Are we clear?
359
00:14:31,218 --> 00:14:32,741
I am.
360
00:14:32,784 --> 00:14:35,570
Can't speak for you.
361
00:14:45,754 --> 00:14:47,756
Detective Reagan?
362
00:14:49,410 --> 00:14:51,238
Hey, uh, Ashley.
363
00:14:51,281 --> 00:14:52,717
Um, what's going on?
364
00:14:52,761 --> 00:14:55,329
You tell me.
Any updates on the case?
365
00:14:55,372 --> 00:14:57,722
We still haven't tracked down
the guy from the bar.
366
00:14:57,766 --> 00:15:00,551
Well, try harder; someone must
have seen something.
367
00:15:00,595 --> 00:15:02,205
I agree.
We're doing our best.
368
00:15:02,249 --> 00:15:04,773
Maybe you are,
but what about your partner?
369
00:15:06,209 --> 00:15:07,471
What's that supposed to mean?
370
00:15:07,515 --> 00:15:08,733
It means most cops
don't give a damn
371
00:15:08,777 --> 00:15:10,039
when trans women are murdered.
372
00:15:10,083 --> 00:15:11,562
Well, this cop does.
373
00:15:11,606 --> 00:15:12,955
And I can assure you,
my partner and I
374
00:15:12,999 --> 00:15:15,262
are treating this case
like every other case.
375
00:15:15,305 --> 00:15:16,567
That's exactly the problem.
376
00:15:16,611 --> 00:15:18,047
This isn't like
every other case.
377
00:15:18,091 --> 00:15:20,397
What I mean is we're treating it
with the utmost respect.
378
00:15:20,441 --> 00:15:22,965
-It is a hate crime.
-We don't know that.
379
00:15:23,009 --> 00:15:24,793
Guy picks up a transgender
woman at a bar,
380
00:15:24,836 --> 00:15:26,969
strangles here to death.
What would you call that?
381
00:15:27,013 --> 00:15:29,102
Right now, we don't know
all the facts.
382
00:15:29,145 --> 00:15:31,843
You want a fact? All right,
here's one for you.
383
00:15:31,887 --> 00:15:34,194
How about transgender people
have a murder rate
384
00:15:34,237 --> 00:15:36,370
seven times higher than
the general population.
385
00:15:36,413 --> 00:15:38,241
-Is that enough for you?
-I know that.
386
00:15:38,285 --> 00:15:40,417
Do you know what it's like
to wake up every single day
387
00:15:40,461 --> 00:15:43,420
and fear for your life,
constantly encountering people
388
00:15:43,464 --> 00:15:44,987
who hate you for simply
existing?
389
00:15:45,031 --> 00:15:49,035
No, I don't know
the hate you feel.
390
00:15:49,078 --> 00:15:52,212
I'm a cop. I mean, we're hated
in a whole different way.
391
00:15:52,255 --> 00:15:54,518
Are you kidding me?
392
00:15:54,562 --> 00:15:56,956
Excuse me, cops have guns.
393
00:15:56,999 --> 00:15:59,175
You-you have the law
on your side.
394
00:15:59,219 --> 00:16:02,439
The 44 transgender people
murdered last year,
395
00:16:02,483 --> 00:16:04,311
they-they had none of that.
396
00:16:04,354 --> 00:16:08,445
All we've got is each other,
which is why I am here.
397
00:16:08,489 --> 00:16:10,099
Fair enough.
398
00:16:12,580 --> 00:16:13,973
Look...
399
00:16:14,016 --> 00:16:16,323
we have nobody who
saw them leave the bar.
400
00:16:16,366 --> 00:16:17,802
Now, it may take a while,
401
00:16:17,846 --> 00:16:19,456
but would you be willing
to sit down
402
00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:21,632
with Detective Baez
and go through the footage,
403
00:16:21,676 --> 00:16:24,157
see what you can see?
Maybe it'll help.
404
00:16:31,555 --> 00:16:33,122
Mr. Ward.
405
00:16:33,166 --> 00:16:34,341
Thanks for seeing me.
406
00:16:34,384 --> 00:16:37,126
I assume you're here
to discuss Devin Brooks?
407
00:16:37,170 --> 00:16:38,998
Devin's a good kid.
408
00:16:39,041 --> 00:16:42,131
Like all my people, dedicated
to keeping the peace.
409
00:16:42,175 --> 00:16:44,525
He also beat a man
half to death.
410
00:16:44,568 --> 00:16:46,570
Eh, the lowlife will live.
411
00:16:46,614 --> 00:16:48,790
Maybe it knocked some sense
into him.
412
00:16:49,834 --> 00:16:51,619
I'm concerned that
413
00:16:51,662 --> 00:16:53,229
Mr. Brooks took it too far.
414
00:16:53,273 --> 00:16:55,362
They're called Defenders
for a reason.
415
00:16:55,405 --> 00:16:56,580
Devin didn't start this.
416
00:16:56,624 --> 00:16:58,234
Well, he definitely ended it.
417
00:16:58,278 --> 00:17:00,802
Would you prefer it was
my guy in the hospital?
418
00:17:00,845 --> 00:17:02,630
I did not say that.
419
00:17:02,673 --> 00:17:03,979
We don't look for trouble, Erin.
420
00:17:04,023 --> 00:17:05,850
We're nonviolent,
we don't carry weapons.
421
00:17:05,894 --> 00:17:09,245
One could argue that Mr. Brooks'
martial arts training
422
00:17:09,289 --> 00:17:10,377
makes him a weapon.
423
00:17:10,420 --> 00:17:12,770
This punk came after him.
424
00:17:12,814 --> 00:17:14,859
You're up here in this
nice, safe office.
425
00:17:14,903 --> 00:17:16,687
On the street,
you've got to react.
426
00:17:16,731 --> 00:17:19,255
Well, his reaction looks
a lot like assault.
427
00:17:19,299 --> 00:17:23,042
You're from a cop family.
428
00:17:23,085 --> 00:17:25,870
I know your old man,
your grandfather.
429
00:17:25,914 --> 00:17:28,134
The Reagans are all about
430
00:17:28,177 --> 00:17:31,963
upholding the law.
431
00:17:32,007 --> 00:17:34,444
The-the Defenders share
that mission.
432
00:17:34,488 --> 00:17:36,620
And I appreciate that.
433
00:17:36,664 --> 00:17:39,188
But your people are subject
to the same laws
434
00:17:39,232 --> 00:17:40,494
they seek to defend.
435
00:17:40,537 --> 00:17:42,974
Look, I don't need a lecture
from you, okay?
436
00:17:43,018 --> 00:17:45,542
I've been helping
defend this city for 40 years.
437
00:17:45,586 --> 00:17:46,978
-I understand.
-Which means that I got
438
00:17:47,022 --> 00:17:49,285
40 years' worth of goodwill
439
00:17:49,329 --> 00:17:51,592
in high places.
440
00:17:52,593 --> 00:17:54,508
Well, you are welcome to call
441
00:17:54,551 --> 00:17:56,466
anyone you wish, Mr. Ward.
442
00:17:56,510 --> 00:18:00,079
In the meantime, I intend to
charge Mr. Brooks.
443
00:18:01,471 --> 00:18:03,604
We'll see.
444
00:18:05,736 --> 00:18:08,130
We'll see about that.
445
00:18:13,266 --> 00:18:15,137
You see anyone?
446
00:18:15,181 --> 00:18:17,008
Not yet.
447
00:18:18,619 --> 00:18:20,577
Look, you don't have to be here.
448
00:18:20,621 --> 00:18:24,103
We'll just give you a call
if we come up with something.
449
00:18:24,146 --> 00:18:26,757
That's what you
really want, right?
450
00:18:26,801 --> 00:18:28,629
For me to disappear.
451
00:18:28,672 --> 00:18:30,848
I didn't say that.
452
00:18:30,892 --> 00:18:33,024
You didn't have to.
I see the way you look at me.
453
00:18:33,068 --> 00:18:36,463
Uh, look, I'm just trying
to do my job.
454
00:18:36,506 --> 00:18:37,768
And I'm trying to find
the bastard
455
00:18:37,812 --> 00:18:39,509
who killed my best friend.
456
00:18:39,553 --> 00:18:42,382
I'm here for her, not you.
457
00:18:46,647 --> 00:18:48,605
-Find anything?
-Nothing yet.
458
00:18:48,649 --> 00:18:50,259
I may have.
459
00:18:50,303 --> 00:18:53,262
There was a trans woman
named Marie
460
00:18:53,306 --> 00:18:55,264
killed a few months ago.
You know anything about that?
461
00:18:55,308 --> 00:18:58,137
Marie Adams.
I went to her vigil.
462
00:18:58,180 --> 00:19:00,008
That case could possibly
help our investigation,
463
00:19:00,051 --> 00:19:02,358
but we have no NYPD record
of it.
464
00:19:02,402 --> 00:19:03,620
That can't be right.
465
00:19:03,664 --> 00:19:06,188
-Did you check her deadname?
-Her what?
466
00:19:06,232 --> 00:19:09,104
Her birth name, her name
before she transitioned.
467
00:19:09,148 --> 00:19:13,152
Everything on the Internet
refers to her as Marie.
468
00:19:14,588 --> 00:19:17,243
I don't think she was officially
transitioned on paper,
469
00:19:17,286 --> 00:19:19,854
so her death might not
be listed under Marie.
470
00:19:19,897 --> 00:19:21,290
Do you happen
471
00:19:21,334 --> 00:19:22,900
to know her deadname?
472
00:19:23,988 --> 00:19:26,165
I think it was Mark.
473
00:19:27,775 --> 00:19:29,342
Got a hit. Mark Adams.
474
00:19:29,385 --> 00:19:31,387
Strangled to death
a few months ago.
475
00:19:31,431 --> 00:19:34,825
-Who caught the case?
-Detective Pete Castellano.
476
00:19:34,869 --> 00:19:37,306
Pete Castellano. Okay.
477
00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:40,048
We're gonna have to
pay Pete a little visit.
478
00:19:43,573 --> 00:19:46,402
Oh. Governor.
479
00:19:46,446 --> 00:19:47,838
-Come in, Erin.
-Counselor.
480
00:19:47,882 --> 00:19:49,318
Heard you were in the building.
481
00:19:49,362 --> 00:19:50,537
Good news travels fast.
482
00:19:50,580 --> 00:19:53,061
You may as well join us.
Something tells me
483
00:19:53,104 --> 00:19:54,845
you're both here
for the same reason.
484
00:19:54,889 --> 00:19:56,020
Devin Brooks?
485
00:19:56,064 --> 00:19:57,979
Or as I call him,
the Good Samaritan.
486
00:19:58,022 --> 00:20:00,242
Oh, do you have a personal
connection to the case?
487
00:20:00,286 --> 00:20:01,896
You mean in a Reagan
kind of way?
488
00:20:01,939 --> 00:20:04,377
In a vested interest
kind of way.
489
00:20:04,420 --> 00:20:08,250
Let's just say I'm a big fan
of Urban Defenders.
490
00:20:08,294 --> 00:20:11,558
They make the city a safer
place, and I dig the hats.
491
00:20:11,601 --> 00:20:15,779
This is about an individual
who committed a violent felony.
492
00:20:15,823 --> 00:20:18,434
So you're suggesting
we charge Mr. Brooks?
493
00:20:18,478 --> 00:20:20,262
Yes. The evidence is clear.
494
00:20:20,306 --> 00:20:21,611
Far be it from me
to interfere
495
00:20:21,655 --> 00:20:23,004
in D.A. business,
496
00:20:23,047 --> 00:20:26,747
but the way I see it,
this guy's a hero.
497
00:20:26,790 --> 00:20:28,531
To vigilantes everywhere.
498
00:20:28,575 --> 00:20:30,141
To be fair, he was attacked.
499
00:20:30,185 --> 00:20:31,578
In my neighborhood,
growing up,
500
00:20:31,621 --> 00:20:33,841
if you started a fight
and got your ass kicked,
501
00:20:33,884 --> 00:20:35,277
it's called
"got what's coming to you."
502
00:20:35,321 --> 00:20:37,671
I don't remember that clause
in the statutes.
503
00:20:37,714 --> 00:20:40,064
Well, my polling is running
ten to one in Brooks' favor.
504
00:20:40,108 --> 00:20:42,023
We don't charge people
based on polling.
505
00:20:42,066 --> 00:20:43,154
Do I have that right?
506
00:20:43,198 --> 00:20:46,680
-It's a complicated case.
-Is it?
507
00:20:46,723 --> 00:20:51,293
And I'll need to study the file
before I make my decision.
508
00:20:51,337 --> 00:20:54,949
Absolutely. We need to
get this one right.
509
00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:01,085
What's wrong?
510
00:21:01,129 --> 00:21:04,132
I just went to
Crawford's office
511
00:21:04,175 --> 00:21:06,265
to make the Brooks case,
512
00:21:06,308 --> 00:21:07,614
and the governor beat me to it.
513
00:21:07,657 --> 00:21:09,833
What's he got to do with this?
514
00:21:09,877 --> 00:21:11,052
I have no idea,
but he made it clear
515
00:21:11,095 --> 00:21:12,401
he doesn't want the guy charged.
516
00:21:12,445 --> 00:21:14,621
-And what'd Crawford say?
-She played Switzerland.
517
00:21:14,664 --> 00:21:17,406
-But I could tell she wasgonna lean his way.
-I'm sorry to hear that.
518
00:21:17,450 --> 00:21:20,104
Give me a break. You wanted
Brooks to skate on this
519
00:21:20,148 --> 00:21:21,628
from the beginning.
520
00:21:21,671 --> 00:21:23,107
I just thought you were
being kind of rough on him.
521
00:21:23,151 --> 00:21:24,761
Now I'm not so sure.
522
00:21:24,805 --> 00:21:26,633
Why? What happened?
523
00:21:26,676 --> 00:21:28,330
I made a few calls.
524
00:21:28,374 --> 00:21:29,940
Brooks isn't just into karate,
525
00:21:29,984 --> 00:21:31,855
he did some MMA fighting
at a gym in Brooklyn.
526
00:21:31,899 --> 00:21:33,770
Real bloody stuff.
527
00:21:33,814 --> 00:21:36,338
Harsh, but not illegal.
528
00:21:36,382 --> 00:21:38,645
During his last match, he put
his opponent in a choke hold.
529
00:21:38,688 --> 00:21:40,734
Guy tapped out.
Brooks wouldn't release him.
530
00:21:40,777 --> 00:21:43,084
It took the ref and two other
guys to pull him off.
531
00:21:43,127 --> 00:21:44,564
Any charges filed?
532
00:21:44,607 --> 00:21:45,956
It's the MMA.
533
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,262
They don't call the cops
unless somebody died.
534
00:21:47,306 --> 00:21:49,090
Well, somebody could have
in that gym
535
00:21:49,133 --> 00:21:50,396
or outside that store.
536
00:21:50,439 --> 00:21:52,311
You were right.
Brooks is a time bomb.
537
00:21:52,354 --> 00:21:54,835
Just a matter of time
before he goes off again.
538
00:21:57,011 --> 00:21:58,360
Castellano.
539
00:21:58,404 --> 00:22:00,667
-What's up, Reagan?
-You caught a,
540
00:22:00,710 --> 00:22:03,147
uh, homicide a few months
back, a Marie Adams.
541
00:22:03,191 --> 00:22:05,846
Yeah, the trannie.
What about it?
542
00:22:05,889 --> 00:22:07,500
The transgender woman.
543
00:22:08,327 --> 00:22:09,676
Where are you
on the case?
544
00:22:09,719 --> 00:22:10,981
Oh, come on, man.
545
00:22:11,025 --> 00:22:12,200
You ever worked
one of these cases?
546
00:22:12,243 --> 00:22:13,549
They don't have family,
no loved ones,
547
00:22:13,593 --> 00:22:14,681
nothing but dead ends.
548
00:22:14,724 --> 00:22:15,986
What's it to you anyway?
549
00:22:16,030 --> 00:22:17,510
We're working a
transgender homicide
550
00:22:17,553 --> 00:22:19,555
in the same neighborhood,
and they may be connected.
551
00:22:19,599 --> 00:22:22,341
-So?
-So while you were sitting
around doing squat,
552
00:22:22,384 --> 00:22:24,430
another innocent woman
was murdered.
553
00:22:24,473 --> 00:22:26,170
You got some balls.
554
00:22:26,214 --> 00:22:27,520
All right, knock it off.
555
00:22:28,303 --> 00:22:29,652
Where's the case file?
556
00:22:29,696 --> 00:22:32,481
Yeah? If you're so hot for it...
557
00:22:34,744 --> 00:22:36,442
...it's all yours.
558
00:22:36,485 --> 00:22:37,443
Knock yourselves out.
559
00:22:37,486 --> 00:22:39,009
-We're just doing our job.
-Yeah.
560
00:22:39,053 --> 00:22:40,271
The one we all
signed up for.
561
00:22:40,315 --> 00:22:41,882
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
562
00:22:45,015 --> 00:22:47,017
You got a minute?
563
00:22:48,758 --> 00:22:50,325
Sure.
564
00:22:52,719 --> 00:22:54,285
Hey, Sid.
565
00:22:54,329 --> 00:22:55,417
Boss.
566
00:23:00,379 --> 00:23:02,424
Boy, when it rains,
it pours, huh?
567
00:23:02,468 --> 00:23:05,253
Taking it as it comes.
You know me.
568
00:23:06,646 --> 00:23:08,517
But what comes lately...
569
00:23:08,561 --> 00:23:11,390
Is landing on Sheila.
570
00:23:11,433 --> 00:23:13,348
The phone won't stop ringing,
571
00:23:13,392 --> 00:23:16,699
and she says they all sound like
they're sorry I died.
572
00:23:17,570 --> 00:23:19,310
Yeah, a thing like this
takes a toll
573
00:23:19,354 --> 00:23:22,966
we wish could land
just on us, but...
574
00:23:23,010 --> 00:23:26,317
-Have you explainedthe situation to her?
-And say what?
575
00:23:26,361 --> 00:23:27,667
That you didn't
do anything wrong.
576
00:23:27,710 --> 00:23:29,712
Boss, you and me could read it
like that,
577
00:23:29,756 --> 00:23:32,062
but for the rest of the world,
it just sounds like whining.
578
00:23:32,106 --> 00:23:33,760
Anyway, I didn't
579
00:23:33,803 --> 00:23:35,501
come up here to cry in my beer.
580
00:23:35,544 --> 00:23:38,068
I know this creates
a big problem for you.
581
00:23:38,112 --> 00:23:39,635
Nothing I can't handle.
582
00:23:39,679 --> 00:23:41,289
Just hear me out, okay?
583
00:23:41,332 --> 00:23:43,204
A big problem in a year
584
00:23:43,247 --> 00:23:44,684
overflowing with them.
585
00:23:44,727 --> 00:23:46,773
The problem here is not you.
586
00:23:46,816 --> 00:23:49,340
Facts do not cease to exist
587
00:23:49,384 --> 00:23:51,473
just 'cause some people choose
to ignore them.
588
00:23:51,517 --> 00:23:53,736
-Boss, come on, will ya?
-What?
589
00:23:53,780 --> 00:23:56,739
The fact that we can't
ignore here is I got to go.
590
00:23:56,783 --> 00:23:58,654
That's what
the mayor wants,
591
00:23:58,698 --> 00:24:00,177
and you know, he's right.
592
00:24:02,658 --> 00:24:04,225
I run this department.
593
00:24:04,268 --> 00:24:06,488
And you've done
a hell of a lot for me,
594
00:24:06,532 --> 00:24:10,274
and I got nothing,
nothing but gratitude.
595
00:24:10,318 --> 00:24:13,669
But let's both be smart here.
596
00:24:13,713 --> 00:24:16,019
I had a good run, boss.
597
00:24:29,424 --> 00:24:31,600
Jamie was pretty mad, huh?
598
00:24:31,644 --> 00:24:32,819
He'll get over it.
599
00:24:32,862 --> 00:24:34,342
I didn't mean
to jam you up.
600
00:24:34,385 --> 00:24:35,909
It's just that prick Simms
really pissed me off.
601
00:24:35,952 --> 00:24:37,171
I get it.
602
00:24:37,214 --> 00:24:38,520
When I
came on the job,
603
00:24:38,564 --> 00:24:40,261
cop haters like Simms
were pretty rare.
604
00:24:40,304 --> 00:24:41,654
Now they're a
dime a dozen.
605
00:24:41,697 --> 00:24:45,135
It's definitely no fun
to feel like we're the enemy.
606
00:24:45,179 --> 00:24:47,311
I mean, I know
there's blame on both sides,
607
00:24:47,355 --> 00:24:49,705
but it just feels like
there's no trust anymore.
608
00:24:49,749 --> 00:24:51,402
I just don't know
what to do about it.
609
00:24:51,446 --> 00:24:53,143
We'll figure it out tomorrow.
610
00:24:53,187 --> 00:24:54,493
Yeah.
611
00:25:02,675 --> 00:25:05,025
I said tomorrow.
612
00:25:07,506 --> 00:25:10,030
Eddie!
-Tell your girlfriend she's next.
613
00:25:13,599 --> 00:25:15,035
Eddie, you okay?
614
00:25:15,949 --> 00:25:17,864
Yeah. I think-think so.
615
00:25:17,907 --> 00:25:20,344
Sarge, it's Witten.
Janko's been assaulted
in front of the precinct.
616
00:25:20,388 --> 00:25:23,434
Suspect Tommy Simms
fleeing north on Chester.
617
00:25:23,478 --> 00:25:24,958
Come on. Come on, we're gonna
get you to the ER, okay?
618
00:25:25,001 --> 00:25:26,220
Yeah.
619
00:25:36,230 --> 00:25:37,492
What's up?
620
00:25:37,536 --> 00:25:40,190
Well, it turns out
Marie and Kayla's murders
621
00:25:40,234 --> 00:25:42,192
have a very similar M.O.
622
00:25:43,193 --> 00:25:44,717
So you think it's the same guy?
623
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,371
Well, Marie frequented the bar
that you took Kayla to,
624
00:25:47,415 --> 00:25:50,331
and her last texts were about
going to trans night also.
625
00:25:50,374 --> 00:25:52,681
There's another
trans night on Tuesday.
626
00:25:52,725 --> 00:25:54,814
And we're gonna have
an undercover cop there.
627
00:25:54,857 --> 00:25:56,555
An undercover cop?
628
00:25:56,598 --> 00:25:58,600
As in, what,
Danny Reagan in drag?
629
00:25:58,644 --> 00:26:00,733
No. Somebody who's trained
to do the job.
630
00:26:00,776 --> 00:26:02,082
Whoever you send
631
00:26:02,125 --> 00:26:03,692
will get spotted
before they order a drink.
632
00:26:03,736 --> 00:26:05,215
You don't know that.
633
00:26:08,131 --> 00:26:09,568
I'll do it.
634
00:26:10,612 --> 00:26:11,918
No. Forget it.
635
00:26:11,961 --> 00:26:13,702
Who can do this better than me?
636
00:26:13,746 --> 00:26:15,095
It's not your world,
637
00:26:15,138 --> 00:26:16,792
it's my world.
638
00:26:16,836 --> 00:26:18,620
And I'm the one
who's seen the guy.
639
00:26:18,664 --> 00:26:21,710
I get that,
but being a cop is my world,
640
00:26:21,754 --> 00:26:24,365
and I'm the one who's seen how
dangerous this can be.
641
00:26:24,408 --> 00:26:26,976
I'm gonna be at that bar when
this guy shows up,
642
00:26:27,020 --> 00:26:29,370
with or without your help.
643
00:26:31,111 --> 00:26:34,027
Okay.
644
00:26:34,070 --> 00:26:35,942
But you got to do it my way
and you got to do what I say.
645
00:26:35,985 --> 00:26:38,814
Just don't tell my friends
I'm working with the cops, okay?
646
00:26:38,858 --> 00:26:40,860
I've got a reputation
to protect.
647
00:26:40,903 --> 00:26:43,123
Okay.
648
00:26:47,475 --> 00:26:49,912
Hey.
649
00:26:51,871 --> 00:26:53,524
You're just sitting around,
650
00:26:53,568 --> 00:26:55,265
having a beer
with all your friends?
651
00:26:55,309 --> 00:26:56,397
What's up?
652
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,225
Heard about Eddie.
653
00:26:58,268 --> 00:26:59,661
Want to talk about it?
654
00:26:59,705 --> 00:27:01,141
No.
655
00:27:01,184 --> 00:27:03,447
You feel like you put her
in harm's way?
656
00:27:03,491 --> 00:27:05,624
I don't think I did,
I know I did.
657
00:27:05,667 --> 00:27:08,104
She's a cop.
658
00:27:08,148 --> 00:27:10,150
She knows the risks. Right?
659
00:27:10,933 --> 00:27:12,543
And I'm her supervisor.
660
00:27:12,587 --> 00:27:15,155
When this guy got cut loose,
I should've handled it myself.
661
00:27:15,198 --> 00:27:16,635
Well, you're a boss now.
662
00:27:16,678 --> 00:27:18,767
And even if you weren't,
that's not how you roll.
663
00:27:18,811 --> 00:27:20,290
Well, maybe it should be.
664
00:27:21,204 --> 00:27:22,641
Pop taught us,
665
00:27:22,684 --> 00:27:24,077
the number one
unwritten rule of the NYPD...
666
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:25,992
We take care of our own.
667
00:27:26,035 --> 00:27:27,384
Yeah. Same goes for family.
668
00:27:27,428 --> 00:27:29,691
Okay, so you hit
a daily double on this one.
669
00:27:29,735 --> 00:27:31,867
That's all the more reason
you got to be careful.
670
00:27:31,911 --> 00:27:34,696
And if it was Linda...
671
00:27:34,740 --> 00:27:37,177
this guy went after,
what would you do?
672
00:27:39,962 --> 00:27:42,530
In the old days, I would've
thrown him off a roof.
673
00:27:42,573 --> 00:27:43,618
Exactly.
674
00:27:43,662 --> 00:27:45,838
Okay, well,
this ain't the old days.
675
00:27:45,881 --> 00:27:47,274
Times change.
676
00:27:47,317 --> 00:27:49,450
So, this is Danny Reagan
counseling restraint?
677
00:27:49,493 --> 00:27:50,494
Uh...
678
00:27:50,538 --> 00:27:52,322
Look, if I'm honest,
679
00:27:52,366 --> 00:27:54,673
I don't know what I would do.
680
00:27:54,716 --> 00:27:57,371
But I know what you should do.
681
00:27:57,414 --> 00:27:59,590
Don't make it personal.
682
00:28:01,114 --> 00:28:03,333
It already is.
683
00:28:07,947 --> 00:28:09,122
Where is she?
684
00:28:09,165 --> 00:28:10,776
She's coming.
685
00:28:10,819 --> 00:28:11,820
So is Christmas.
686
00:28:11,864 --> 00:28:12,821
Yeah, the food's getting
687
00:28:12,865 --> 00:28:13,822
really cold.
688
00:28:13,866 --> 00:28:14,780
Is she on her way?
689
00:28:14,823 --> 00:28:16,216
Yeah. She has a thing. She's...
690
00:28:16,259 --> 00:28:18,000
Well, we got a thing, too.
Dinner.
691
00:28:18,044 --> 00:28:19,045
Yeah.
692
00:28:20,307 --> 00:28:21,700
-Finally.
-Okay.
693
00:28:22,439 --> 00:28:23,876
Gosh.
694
00:28:25,573 --> 00:28:28,228
Hey, everyone. I'm
sorry that I'm late.
695
00:28:29,446 --> 00:28:30,796
Holy crap.
696
00:28:30,839 --> 00:28:31,840
That's the thing.
697
00:28:31,884 --> 00:28:33,624
That's more than a thing.
698
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:37,367
Boy, the incident report
didn't do that justice.
699
00:28:37,411 --> 00:28:39,021
There was no justice
to be found, Dad.
700
00:28:39,065 --> 00:28:42,024
He was out on bail
for sucker punching another cop.
701
00:28:42,068 --> 00:28:43,156
Out on bail?
702
00:28:43,199 --> 00:28:44,418
Can you explain
703
00:28:44,461 --> 00:28:45,941
how the hell
that makes any sense?
704
00:28:45,985 --> 00:28:47,726
-It doesn't. And I didn't
write the new bail laws,
705
00:28:47,769 --> 00:28:49,510
and I certainly
don't agree with them.
706
00:28:49,553 --> 00:28:50,946
No, you just enforce it.
707
00:28:50,990 --> 00:28:52,513
Because it's her job.
708
00:28:52,556 --> 00:28:54,036
I can understand
why you're upset.
709
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,646
I would be upset...
Because it's dead wrong.
710
00:28:55,690 --> 00:28:57,300
I know ...ys, can we just not?
711
00:28:57,344 --> 00:28:58,867
I'm-- It took a lot for me
712
00:28:58,911 --> 00:29:01,348
to just leave the house
looking like this.
713
00:29:01,391 --> 00:29:03,393
I really don't want to
talk about it and...
714
00:29:03,437 --> 00:29:07,528
absolutely do not want to argue
about how it came to happen.
715
00:29:09,835 --> 00:29:11,358
Sorry, Eddie.
716
00:29:11,401 --> 00:29:13,708
It's just that collateral damage
from our work
717
00:29:13,752 --> 00:29:18,017
doesn't often make a personal
appearance at this table.
718
00:29:18,060 --> 00:29:19,192
Didn't mean to make you upset.
719
00:29:19,235 --> 00:29:20,410
Oh, I know.
720
00:29:20,454 --> 00:29:21,411
Sorry.
721
00:29:21,455 --> 00:29:22,586
Have you tried tea bags
722
00:29:22,630 --> 00:29:23,762
to take down the swelling?
723
00:29:23,805 --> 00:29:26,068
-Uh, no.
-You don't need tea bags,
724
00:29:26,112 --> 00:29:27,417
you need a piece of raw steak.
725
00:29:27,461 --> 00:29:30,029
That's what makes
the swelling go down.
726
00:29:30,072 --> 00:29:31,552
No, in 1968
727
00:29:31,595 --> 00:29:32,596
it did, Gramps.
728
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:33,641
What you need is four aspirin
729
00:29:33,684 --> 00:29:35,251
and a bag of frozen peas.
730
00:29:35,295 --> 00:29:36,818
20 minutes on,
20 minutes off.
731
00:29:36,862 --> 00:29:40,169
Or all of the above, plus time.
732
00:29:40,213 --> 00:29:41,780
Well, I think that
733
00:29:41,823 --> 00:29:44,260
you look like Uma Thurman
from Kill Bill.
734
00:29:44,304 --> 00:29:45,261
Even though
she was all beat up,
735
00:29:45,305 --> 00:29:46,828
she was still really hot.
736
00:29:46,872 --> 00:29:49,309
Did you just call
your aunt "hot"?
737
00:29:49,352 --> 00:29:50,832
I meant it as a compliment.
738
00:29:50,876 --> 00:29:52,965
I took it as one.
And it was a really nice one.
739
00:29:53,008 --> 00:29:56,316
One of the best I've had in
a long time, so thank you, Sean.
740
00:29:58,187 --> 00:29:59,449
Can you eat?
741
00:29:59,493 --> 00:30:00,711
My jaw's a little sore,
742
00:30:00,755 --> 00:30:02,713
but I could still have
mashed potatoes.
743
00:30:04,063 --> 00:30:06,979
Hey, can I say grace?
744
00:30:08,763 --> 00:30:09,808
Sure.
745
00:30:09,851 --> 00:30:11,722
Okay.
746
00:30:13,942 --> 00:30:15,161
Bless us, O Lord...
747
00:30:15,204 --> 00:30:16,292
...and these Thy gifts,
748
00:30:16,336 --> 00:30:17,598
which we are about to receive...
749
00:30:18,599 --> 00:30:21,428
DCPI Moore is...
Bring it.
750
00:30:22,777 --> 00:30:24,605
-Mr. Mayor.
-Garrett.
751
00:30:24,648 --> 00:30:26,476
Do you know
Lieutenant Gormley?
752
00:30:27,260 --> 00:30:28,783
Only by reputation.
753
00:30:28,827 --> 00:30:30,132
Thanks for seeing us,
Your Honor.
754
00:30:30,176 --> 00:30:31,612
Frank put you up to this?
755
00:30:31,655 --> 00:30:32,656
He doesn't know we're here.
756
00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:33,962
This will only take a moment.
757
00:30:34,006 --> 00:30:35,877
And why are you here?
758
00:30:35,921 --> 00:30:38,445
I know what you told him
to do and I agree,
759
00:30:38,488 --> 00:30:39,620
there's no other option.
760
00:30:39,663 --> 00:30:41,665
It was nothing personal.
761
00:30:41,709 --> 00:30:45,365
And I'm gonna go quietly.
I just got one last request.
762
00:30:46,148 --> 00:30:47,933
Okay, shoot.
763
00:30:47,976 --> 00:30:50,979
I'm not saying I'm so great,
but when I get the ax,
764
00:30:51,023 --> 00:30:53,677
it's gonna cause a crisis
of morale among our cops.
765
00:30:53,721 --> 00:30:55,244
And if you want
to bring this city
766
00:30:55,288 --> 00:30:58,160
back together, you need
to pick up your end of this.
767
00:30:58,204 --> 00:31:00,119
Which is?
768
00:31:00,162 --> 00:31:01,903
Never waste a good crisis.
769
00:31:01,947 --> 00:31:04,558
Take the mic,
say something to unite us
770
00:31:04,601 --> 00:31:08,692
and inspire the men and women
to keep going.
771
00:31:08,736 --> 00:31:11,521
Something good's
got to come out of this.
772
00:31:23,272 --> 00:31:25,013
That is the last of them.
773
00:31:25,057 --> 00:31:26,754
Thank you, Baker.
774
00:31:27,755 --> 00:31:28,930
Any luck?
775
00:31:28,974 --> 00:31:30,801
Don't believe in it.
776
00:31:30,845 --> 00:31:31,802
You don't?
777
00:31:31,846 --> 00:31:32,978
Nope.
778
00:31:33,021 --> 00:31:35,719
You make your own luck
by being prepared.
779
00:31:36,895 --> 00:31:40,202
Can I ask,
what are you looking for?
780
00:31:43,075 --> 00:31:45,904
Balance, perspective...
781
00:31:47,862 --> 00:31:49,342
...fairness.
782
00:31:50,169 --> 00:31:52,345
In civilian complaint reports.
783
00:31:53,215 --> 00:31:54,738
Yes.
784
00:31:54,782 --> 00:31:57,002
So, looking for luck
in all the wrong places.
785
00:32:00,048 --> 00:32:01,136
Probably.
786
00:32:01,180 --> 00:32:03,356
More coffee?
787
00:32:03,399 --> 00:32:05,619
I'm good, thanks.
788
00:32:07,490 --> 00:32:10,667
Have Garrett call
a press conference.
789
00:32:10,711 --> 00:32:12,365
The mayor needs to be there.
790
00:32:12,408 --> 00:32:13,888
I can do that.
791
00:32:15,020 --> 00:32:16,935
And Lieutenant Gormley.
792
00:32:21,765 --> 00:32:23,593
Thank you, Baker.
793
00:32:26,031 --> 00:32:27,815
Good night, sir.
794
00:32:40,262 --> 00:32:41,960
I'm here to see the governor.
795
00:32:43,744 --> 00:32:45,964
Give us a minute, guys.
796
00:32:51,447 --> 00:32:53,623
I'd offer you some branzino,
but I'm guessing
797
00:32:53,667 --> 00:32:55,234
this isn't a social visit.
798
00:32:55,277 --> 00:32:56,713
Devin Brooks should be charged
799
00:32:56,757 --> 00:32:58,802
with assault
in the first degree.
800
00:32:59,629 --> 00:33:02,110
The rosemary vinaigrette
on this fish?
801
00:33:02,154 --> 00:33:04,504
Sensational.
802
00:33:07,463 --> 00:33:09,335
Okay, look.
803
00:33:10,292 --> 00:33:11,990
Did Brooks go too far?
804
00:33:12,033 --> 00:33:16,211
Maybe. But the kid he tuned up
is gonna make a full recovery.
805
00:33:16,255 --> 00:33:17,952
He suffered serious
physical injury.
806
00:33:17,996 --> 00:33:20,563
Without immediate medical care,
he could've died.
807
00:33:20,607 --> 00:33:22,174
The kid's a thug.
808
00:33:22,217 --> 00:33:25,568
You can bet he'll pay for
his damn sneakers next time.
809
00:33:25,612 --> 00:33:28,180
You knew I was
handling this case.
810
00:33:28,223 --> 00:33:30,225
You could've come
to me directly.
811
00:33:30,269 --> 00:33:32,140
Kimberly's the
acting D.A.
812
00:33:32,184 --> 00:33:33,794
Well, that was
your choice.
813
00:33:33,837 --> 00:33:35,926
And when it comes to stuff
like this, I'm glad I made it.
814
00:33:35,970 --> 00:33:37,363
And why is that?
815
00:33:37,406 --> 00:33:40,148
I got a call from an old friend,
Chris Ward.
816
00:33:40,192 --> 00:33:44,065
He said you disrespected him
and the Urban Defenders.
817
00:33:44,109 --> 00:33:45,458
I did no such thing.
818
00:33:45,501 --> 00:33:46,850
But you didn't help him out.
819
00:33:46,894 --> 00:33:49,244
That's because Devin Brooks
broke the law.
820
00:33:49,288 --> 00:33:52,856
And what if it was me asking
for the favor instead of him?
821
00:33:52,900 --> 00:33:56,034
Are you implying that you're
asking for a favor now?
822
00:33:57,209 --> 00:33:58,862
Are you wearing a wire?
823
00:34:02,910 --> 00:34:04,781
It's all done
by Bluetooth now, FYI.
824
00:34:04,825 --> 00:34:07,001
Yeah. You know why
I picked Crawford?
825
00:34:07,045 --> 00:34:09,786
I can think of any number
of reasons.
826
00:34:09,830 --> 00:34:11,745
You were just as qualified,
on paper.
827
00:34:11,788 --> 00:34:15,140
But at the end of the day,
she's not a pain in my ass.
828
00:34:15,183 --> 00:34:18,882
Well, I am certainly glad
there's no buyer's remorse.
829
00:34:20,145 --> 00:34:21,885
And I guess only a pain
in the ass
830
00:34:21,929 --> 00:34:24,323
would mention this,
831
00:34:24,366 --> 00:34:28,631
I have prosecuted dozens of
rage-aholics like Devin Brooks.
832
00:34:28,675 --> 00:34:31,547
And if he walks on this,
his next victim--
833
00:34:31,591 --> 00:34:33,680
and there will be
a next one--
834
00:34:33,723 --> 00:34:36,770
will probably end up in the
morgue instead of the hospital.
835
00:34:36,813 --> 00:34:39,294
And whoever let him go
will be blamed,
836
00:34:39,338 --> 00:34:44,038
and if that is you,
it will be front-page news.
837
00:34:50,349 --> 00:34:51,698
Any suggestions?
838
00:34:51,741 --> 00:34:53,178
Yes.
839
00:34:53,221 --> 00:34:56,920
But you should probably
call Kimberly Crawford.
840
00:34:59,184 --> 00:35:00,533
Please?
841
00:35:08,976 --> 00:35:11,239
This is a bad idea, Jamie.
842
00:35:11,283 --> 00:35:12,501
It was a bad idea
843
00:35:12,545 --> 00:35:13,850
for Simms to start
punching cops.
844
00:35:13,894 --> 00:35:15,287
Well, uh...
Especially you.
845
00:35:15,330 --> 00:35:17,027
Eventually he's gonna
pay the price.
846
00:35:17,071 --> 00:35:19,421
Yeah, well, judge
let him walk again.
847
00:35:19,465 --> 00:35:20,814
Now he's back
848
00:35:20,857 --> 00:35:22,381
at his favorite spot,
with his knucklehead pals.
849
00:35:22,424 --> 00:35:24,600
Jamie, I'm telling you,
I don't want you to do this.
850
00:35:24,644 --> 00:35:27,429
Eddie, Simms has got
a beating coming.
851
00:35:27,473 --> 00:35:29,083
And he's gonna get it.
852
00:35:36,308 --> 00:35:38,092
Hey, Sarge. How's it hanging?
853
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:40,747
Hey, Tommy. Got a message
from the NYPD for you.
854
00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:41,965
Oh, yeah? What's that?
855
00:35:42,009 --> 00:35:44,272
That information
that you gave us
856
00:35:44,316 --> 00:35:45,273
so you could walk?
857
00:35:45,317 --> 00:35:46,579
It all checked out.
858
00:35:46,622 --> 00:35:48,015
What the hell
are you talking about?
859
00:35:48,058 --> 00:35:49,495
Those dealers
you guys do business with
860
00:35:49,538 --> 00:35:51,105
down on Rivington?
The Cruz brothers?
861
00:35:51,149 --> 00:35:53,107
We took them down last night.
They're out of business,
862
00:35:53,151 --> 00:35:54,413
thanks to you.
863
00:35:54,456 --> 00:35:56,589
Which makes us even.
864
00:35:56,632 --> 00:35:58,243
-What's he talking about?
-He's-he's lying.
865
00:35:58,286 --> 00:36:00,245
NYPD wants to thank you
for your cooperation.
866
00:36:00,288 --> 00:36:01,942
Have a good day.
867
00:36:01,985 --> 00:36:04,118
He's...
he's-he's lying.
868
00:36:04,162 --> 00:36:05,598
-What is he talking about?
-He's lying.
869
00:36:05,641 --> 00:36:06,860
-Cooperation?
-What is he talking about?!
870
00:36:06,903 --> 00:36:08,427
We didn't do nothin'!
871
00:36:08,470 --> 00:36:10,429
Told you he had
a beating coming.
872
00:36:10,472 --> 00:36:12,561
Nice work, Sarge.
873
00:36:14,694 --> 00:36:16,304
♪ My patience is wearing
so thin ♪
874
00:36:16,348 --> 00:36:19,002
♪ You're playing games
I know I'll never win ♪
875
00:36:19,046 --> 00:36:22,876
♪ But I'm the one that got hurt
'cause you played with fire... ♪
876
00:36:28,664 --> 00:36:30,753
You ordered a vodka
and cranberry?
877
00:36:30,797 --> 00:36:32,233
Are you really
busting my chops right now?
878
00:36:32,277 --> 00:36:33,234
Ignore him.
879
00:36:33,278 --> 00:36:34,627
He drinks appletinis.
880
00:36:34,670 --> 00:36:35,758
What's wrong with an appletini?
881
00:36:35,802 --> 00:36:36,890
They are delicious.
882
00:36:36,933 --> 00:36:37,891
Thank you.
883
00:36:37,934 --> 00:36:39,153
And, Ashley,
884
00:36:39,197 --> 00:36:40,328
if there's a moment
885
00:36:40,372 --> 00:36:41,373
where you feel uncomfortable,
886
00:36:41,416 --> 00:36:42,635
just tell us.
887
00:36:42,678 --> 00:36:44,463
It's real brave
what you're doing.
888
00:36:44,506 --> 00:36:45,942
I appreciate that.
889
00:36:49,250 --> 00:36:51,034
Oh, my God, it's him.
890
00:37:08,313 --> 00:37:10,445
Have I seen you here before?
891
00:37:10,489 --> 00:37:11,838
First time.
892
00:37:11,881 --> 00:37:13,361
-You?
-Nah.
893
00:37:13,405 --> 00:37:14,797
I never miss trans night.
894
00:37:14,841 --> 00:37:18,497
Oh. So you're looking
for something in...
895
00:37:18,540 --> 00:37:20,238
particular?
896
00:37:21,151 --> 00:37:25,547
I think you know exactly
what I'm looking for.
897
00:37:27,549 --> 00:37:28,681
Then why wait?
898
00:37:28,724 --> 00:37:30,248
Let's do this.
899
00:37:32,119 --> 00:37:33,816
I like a girl who knows
what she wants.
900
00:37:33,860 --> 00:37:35,818
You wanna go out back?
901
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,299
Yeah.
902
00:37:42,085 --> 00:37:43,783
Allow me.
903
00:38:04,804 --> 00:38:06,762
Okay, we lost her.
What's going on?
904
00:38:19,819 --> 00:38:21,255
-Stupid whore.
-Take it easy.
905
00:38:21,299 --> 00:38:22,735
You deserve
what you've got coming.
906
00:38:22,778 --> 00:38:23,997
-Take it easy.
-You think a guy like me
907
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,999
wants to be
with a freak like you?
908
00:38:26,042 --> 00:38:27,305
Why are you like this?
909
00:38:27,348 --> 00:38:28,741
I recognized you
the moment I walked in.
910
00:38:28,784 --> 00:38:30,264
You were friends
with that bitch Kayla.
911
00:38:30,308 --> 00:38:33,267
And now you're gonna die
just like she did.
912
00:38:35,269 --> 00:38:36,444
Police! Hey!
913
00:38:36,488 --> 00:38:37,793
-What the hell?
-Hands up!
914
00:38:37,837 --> 00:38:39,317
-Put your hands up and step away.
-What the hell?
915
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:40,622
I said get 'em up!
916
00:38:40,666 --> 00:38:42,232
-Turn around!
-This isn't what it looks like.
917
00:38:42,276 --> 00:38:43,059
I...
918
00:38:43,103 --> 00:38:44,583
Shut up.
919
00:38:44,626 --> 00:38:46,411
You okay?
920
00:38:47,629 --> 00:38:48,978
Yeah?
921
00:38:49,022 --> 00:38:50,893
You did good.
No, you did good.
922
00:38:50,937 --> 00:38:52,286
Thank you.
-You did good.
923
00:38:55,507 --> 00:38:59,337
It's okay. It's okay.
924
00:39:01,687 --> 00:39:03,776
Just got a call
from the governor.
925
00:39:03,819 --> 00:39:05,125
-Oh?
-He reversed his position
926
00:39:05,168 --> 00:39:07,040
on the Devin Brooks case.
927
00:39:07,083 --> 00:39:08,563
I see.
928
00:39:08,607 --> 00:39:11,349
He wants us to charge Mr. Brooks
with felony assault.
929
00:39:11,392 --> 00:39:13,960
Then, if he takes
anger management classes,
930
00:39:14,003 --> 00:39:15,309
stays out of trouble,
931
00:39:15,353 --> 00:39:16,963
we let him
plead to a misdemeanor.
932
00:39:17,006 --> 00:39:18,660
So Brooks pays a price,
933
00:39:18,704 --> 00:39:21,794
while this office acknowledges
the value of a Good Samaritan.
934
00:39:21,837 --> 00:39:23,578
An elegant solution.
935
00:39:23,622 --> 00:39:25,101
I agree.
936
00:39:25,145 --> 00:39:27,365
More elegant than
I'd expect from Mendez.
937
00:39:28,583 --> 00:39:31,934
Like something a seasoned
prosecutor might come up with.
938
00:39:34,676 --> 00:39:35,808
I met with the governor.
939
00:39:35,851 --> 00:39:37,244
Behind my back.
940
00:39:37,287 --> 00:39:39,638
My relationship with Mendez
precedes yours.
941
00:39:39,681 --> 00:39:42,292
Which doesn't alter the fact
that you work for me.
942
00:39:42,336 --> 00:39:44,338
You were going to grant
the governor's request
943
00:39:44,382 --> 00:39:45,992
not to charge Brooks.
944
00:39:46,035 --> 00:39:49,082
Yes. Mostly because no jury
would convict him.
945
00:39:49,125 --> 00:39:50,431
The public thinks he's a hero.
946
00:39:50,475 --> 00:39:52,868
He's a felon, regardless
of what the public,
947
00:39:52,912 --> 00:39:54,348
or the governor says.
948
00:39:54,392 --> 00:39:57,569
This office needs the good will
of the governor.
949
00:39:57,612 --> 00:39:59,484
This office or you?
950
00:39:59,527 --> 00:40:01,529
This office and me...
951
00:40:01,573 --> 00:40:03,270
and you.
952
00:40:04,489 --> 00:40:06,186
Unless I heard wrong.
953
00:40:07,579 --> 00:40:09,015
I don't know what you heard.
954
00:40:09,058 --> 00:40:11,496
I heard people who live
in glass houses
955
00:40:11,539 --> 00:40:13,411
shouldn't throw stones.
956
00:40:14,934 --> 00:40:18,372
Maybe we're not as different
as you like to think we are.
957
00:40:25,379 --> 00:40:28,469
"The officer threw me
forcefully to the ground
958
00:40:28,513 --> 00:40:29,949
"and then handcuffed me,
959
00:40:29,992 --> 00:40:32,125
"wrenching my hands
behind my back
960
00:40:32,168 --> 00:40:34,344
"while I was in great pain
961
00:40:34,388 --> 00:40:36,695
"and shouting to him
962
00:40:36,738 --> 00:40:38,740
that I didn't do it."
963
00:40:38,784 --> 00:40:40,525
The man who made this complaint
964
00:40:40,568 --> 00:40:43,353
was a serial rapist
fleeing an attack.
965
00:40:43,397 --> 00:40:47,923
What he describes
is textbook procedure
966
00:40:47,967 --> 00:40:51,144
for apprehending a suspect
in a violent crime.
967
00:40:51,187 --> 00:40:54,016
He was found guilty
and is serving a life sentence.
968
00:40:54,060 --> 00:40:55,714
Not a single witness
969
00:40:55,757 --> 00:41:00,066
to his arrest corroborated the
allegations of excessive force.
970
00:41:00,109 --> 00:41:04,984
Hence the cop in question
was cleared of wrongdoing.
971
00:41:05,027 --> 00:41:08,509
This complaint,
dated July 10th, 1982,
972
00:41:08,553 --> 00:41:11,773
was filed against
Detective Frank Reagan.
973
00:41:13,209 --> 00:41:16,735
And there are more
where that came from.
974
00:41:16,778 --> 00:41:22,567
Almost every active cop
eventually faces accusations.
975
00:41:22,610 --> 00:41:24,873
Some of them are substantiated,
976
00:41:24,917 --> 00:41:28,921
and that cop is disciplined
or terminated.
977
00:41:28,964 --> 00:41:31,576
But many times these complaints,
978
00:41:31,619 --> 00:41:35,536
like the ones against
Lieutenant Gormley,
979
00:41:35,580 --> 00:41:39,105
like this one against me,
980
00:41:39,148 --> 00:41:43,762
are misleading at best
and sheer fiction at worst.
981
00:41:43,805 --> 00:41:50,769
But if the court order releasing
years of civilian complaints
982
00:41:50,812 --> 00:41:55,600
means we are judged
without context
983
00:41:55,643 --> 00:42:00,300
and convicted without a defense,
984
00:42:00,343 --> 00:42:02,868
then yes,
985
00:42:02,911 --> 00:42:05,348
Lieutenant Gormley will go.
986
00:42:05,392 --> 00:42:08,656
If that's what the people want,
987
00:42:08,700 --> 00:42:11,224
I will hold the door for him.
988
00:42:13,008 --> 00:42:16,577
And then I will follow him out.
