[disturbed laughter] (Goren) AND WHILE MY INVESTIGATION WAS UNAUTHORIZED, I FEEL IT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO UNCOVER THE TRUTH. PENDING A DEPARTMENTAL HEARING AND A PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION, YOU ARE SUSPENDED. YOU THINK THAT I WASN'T PLANNING ON SAYING THAT I AM INSANE? HAVE YOU EVER ASKED YOURSELF THAT QUESTION? [door bell tingles, laughter] AND HE SAID, "I GAVE IT UP FOR LENT. " [laughter] NOW WE BOTH KNOW YOU DID NOT SEE WHO SHOT QUINN. SCREW YOU! YOU GOT SOME BALLS. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE? IT'S MY NEIGHBORHOOD BAR. NOT TONIGHT IT'S NOT. MY OLD PRECINCT'S DOING A 1013 BENEFIT FOR ME. I WOULDN'T NEED THEIR CHARITY IF YOU HADN'T COST ME MY JOB. I DON'T WANT ANY TROUBLE. YOU CHEATED ME OUT OF MY RETIREMENT. LOOK, WHY THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY? AAH COME ON! I HAD ONE YEAR TO GO! HEY, HEY, HEY! TAKE IT EASY. TAKE IT EASY! WHAT? COME ON. BE SMART! YOU WANT SOMEBODY TO CALL 911, HUH? YOU WANT I. A. D. IN HERE? RAT. I I KNOW YOU DIDN'T NEED MY HELP WITH THAT. DO I KNOW YOU? MIKE STOAT. BROOKLYN NORTH, NARCOTICS. 'CAUSE OF YOU. I WAS A ROOKIE WHEN YOU WORKED NARCOTICS. WHAT WAS IT? ALL HEAVY HITTERS. YOU GOT A GOOD MEMORY. I ALSO REMEMBER YOU WEREN'T TOO POPULAR. GUESS SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE, HUH? [chuckles] I'M ON SUSPENSION. THEY HAD ME PEE IN A CUP, AND IT CAME BACK POSITIVE. I WAS UNDERCOVER. I HAD TO DO A BUMP OF COKE SO I WOULDN'T GET MADE. BUT YOU KNOW HOW THE DEPARTMENT IS. WITH OR WITHOUT PAY? SIX MONTHS WITHOUT. JUST LIKE YOU. WAIT A MINUTE, SO [sighs] THIS JUST NOW, THIS WAS A SETUP? NO, LOOK, I DON'T KNOW THAT GUY FROM ADAM. BUT I AM LOOKING FOR YOU. YOU AND ME, WE COULD HELP EACH OTHER. YOU KNOW? I MAKE MORE MONEY ON SUSPENSION THAN I EVER DID ON THE JOB. THIS IS LEGIT? YEAH. SECURITY WORK. HEY, I'LL DO RIGHT BY YOU. HUH? HEY, I GOTTA GO. YOU CALL ME IF YOU'RE INTERESTED. ALL RIGHT? YOU FORGOT YOUR PAPER. KEEP IT. [sighs] [sighs] MORNING. HOPE YOU HAD YOUR COFFEE. UM, JUST FINISHING UP. I'M ABOUT TO GO SEE MY FAMILY. THERE'S BEEN A SHOOTING IN RED HOOK. A DRUG DEALER ANYBODY OUT OF THE PICTURE? ALL THREE. YOU CAN CALL YOUR FAMILY ON THE WAY. I. D. ON HIM IS WILSON CRAWFORD. ANONYMOUS CALL OF SHOTS FIRED CAME IN AT 11:00 P. M. NO WITNESSES. YOU MEAN, BESIDES THE TOURISTS? [sighs] DO A CANVASS OF THE BLOCK AND THE ADJOINING ALLEYS. I WANT TO KNOW IF ANY OF THESE PLACES WAS STILL OPEN AT THE TIME OF THE SHOOTING. OKAY. THANKS. EXCUSE ME. EAMES. I'M GUESSING YOU FIND YOURSELF IN RED HOOK BECAUSE OF THE TOURISTS AND NOT THE DRUG DEALER. HAPPY EASTER. WHERE'S YOUR PARTNER? STILL JUMPING THROUGH NYPD HOOPS. (Eames) HE LOOKS LIKE A USER. AND A DEALER. TEN GRAMS OF COKE IN HIS POCKET. DRUG DEAL GONE BAD? THEN WHY LEAVE THE COKE ON HIM? IT'S MORE LIKELY FIGHTING OVER TERRITORY. AND THE TOURISTS, COLLATERAL DAMAGE. LOOKS THAT WAY. GERRY AND VICTORIA BENNETT. PASSENGERS FROM A CRUISE SHIP. IT LEFT SOUTHAMPTON, ENGLAND, DOCKED OVER AT THE RED HOOK TERMINAL OVER THAT WAY YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. THEY NEVER EVEN MADE IT TO MANHATTAN. BY THE TIME THE PARAMEDICS ARRIVED, IT WAS TOO LATE. WELCOME TO NEW YORK. HE HAS A SHORT EXIT WOUND ON THE BACK OF HIS SKULL. SO HE WAS LYING ON THE GROUND WHEN HE WAS SHOT. THE SLUG? NON-JACKETED [sighs] PULLED FROM THE PAVEMENT. AUTOPSY'S DONE ALREADY. YOU GUYS AT MAJOR CASE HAVE SOME PULL. I USED IT TO GET YOU TEMPORARILY ASSIGNED TO ME. YOU'LL BE WORKING WITH EAMES ON THIS ONE. OKAY? UNTIL GOREN COMES BACK. HE WAS KNOCKED AROUND PRETTY BAD BEFORE HE WAS SHOT? YEAH, BROKEN RIBS. LACERATIONS AND CONTUSIONS ON HIS FACE AND ARMS. STIPPLING ON HIS PALMS. HE PUT HIS HANDS UP RIGHT BEFORE HE WAS SHOT. HE WAS ALIVE AND SAW IT COMING. THESE THREE DOTS STAND FOR MI VIDA LOCA. AN UNDERSTATEMENT. (Daniels) BUT NOT NECESSARILY GANG-RELATED. AND THIS A CLOCK WITH NO HANDS MEANS DOING TIME. HE DID THREE YEARS IN SING SING ON A DRUG-RELATED ASSAULT. HE'S GOT TWO GANG TATS ON HIS BACK, BE HE'S TRIED TO HAVE THEM REMOVED. HE PROBABLY ONLY NEEDED THE PROTECTION WHEN HE WAS IN PRISON. YEAH, OR MAYBE HE WAS FAMILIAR WITH TAT STATS. MORE THAN FIVE, TWICE AS LIKELY TO DIE A VIOLENT DEATH. AND THEN THERE'S WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME. (Ross) YOU MEAN THE BENNETTS? OR DO YOU MEAN PUTTING A PASSENGER CRUISE SHIP TERMINAL IN THE MIDDLE OF RED HOOK? YOUR PARTNER'S BEEN ON SUSPENSION FOR FIVE MONTHS? I DIDN'T THINK THEY COULD KEEP YOU OUT THAT LONG. THEY CAN'T, BUT THEY HAVE. WHAT THE HELL DID HE A COUPLE OF THE GUYS UPSTAIRS TOLD ME HE SNAPPED. [gunshots] (Eames) HE DIDN'T SNAP. HE WAS UNDERCOVER IN A PRISON PSYCH WARD. RIKERS? NO. TATES CORRECTIONS. (Daniels) TATES, THAT'S UPSTATE. HOW DID HE GET JURISDICTION FOR THAT? HE DIDN'T. HE WENT IN ON HIS OWN. OH. HE HAD HIS REASONS. [continuous gunshots] YEAH, STOAT, IT'S GOREN. YEAH, UH YEAH I'M IN. WHERE DO YOU WANT ME? [dance music] ? HOW YOU DOIN', SUGAR? AH, YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL. COME ON IN. SORRY, PAL, BEAT IT. LOOK AT THAT. UNBELIEVABLE. YOU MISS THE JOB? WHAT DO YOU THINK, HUH? I WAS A GOOD COP. I HAD FOUR COMMENDATIONS. ONE FOR RESCUING A THREE-YEAR-OLD GIRL FROM HER FATHER WHO HAD A GLOCK TO HER HEAD, ONE FOR TALKING A JUMPER DOWN. HELL, THE WAY THINGS ARE HEADED, I MIGHT NEED SOMEONE TO TALK ME DOWN. YOU KNOW? HOW DID YOU END UP HERE? I BUSTED THE OWNER ONCE. LOOK, I GOT AN EX-WIFE. RIGHT? I GOT A NINE-YEAR-OLD KID WHO LOVES HOCKEY MORE THAN ANYTHING. HE WANTS TO BE THE NEXT JAROMIR JAGR. WHAT AM I GONNA DO, RIGHT? HEY, WHAT'S UP, OKSANA? HOW YA DOIN', BABY? NO, NO, NO, NO. WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'? WHAT THE HELL YOU DOIN'? GOREN, GOREN, GOREN, GOREN, GOREN, GOREN, GOREN. LET HIM GO. SAY HI TO YOUR NEW BOSS. MR. TESTAROSSA. TAKE IT EASY, COWBOY. THE YUPPIES AND IKEA AND FAIRWAY ARE HERE. AND THERE'S THE INDUSTRIAL AREA DOWN BY THE WATERFRONT. STILL MOB RUN. OR IT WAS UNTIL TWO MONTHS AGO WHEN THE FEDS BUSTED 50 MEMBERS OF THE NICOLI FAMILY. SINCE THEN, IT'S OPEN SEASON. *** RATE'S WAY UP. FOUR DEALERS SHOT IN THE PAST SIX WEEKS. (Ross) LOCK UP THE CAREER CRIMINALS AND YOU START A TURF WAR. THE LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. CAN YOU GIVE US ANY NAMES? NOT YET. OCCB IS PLAYING CATCH-UP. RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE A BUNCH OF WANNABES AND SECOND-STRINGERS MOVING UP THE FOOD CHAIN. INCLUDING MR. CRAWFORD. HOW'S HIS RAP SHEET? LOW LEVEL DRUG DEALER. PLEADS DOWN EVERY TIME. WHO'S HE WITH? LOOKS LIKE FREELANCE. EXCEPT HIS LAST THREE ARRESTS, HE'S HAD THE SAME PARTNER, KEYSHAWN POWELL, WHO UP UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO WAS IN RIKERS. (Ross) PAROLED. AND WE'RE IN LUCK. HE HAS TO SEE DR. LANE, HIS COURT-APPOINTED SHRINK, TWICE A WEEK. HEY, ROOK. HOP IN. [engine starts] SO HOW DID YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME? I TOLD YOU, I GOT HOOKS. DR. OLIVET TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE ANGER ISSUES?
