East New York (2022) s01e04 Episode Script

1
- Previously on East New York
- You got to think of yourself
as a self-contained unit.
You need something,
have that thing.
Where'd you learn to speak, uh, Italian?
I lived in Italy when I was 16.
Had an Italian boyfriend
and everything. Long story.
- He's a kid from East New York.
- And you're a kid from Westchester.
I also want members of the service
to start living near where they work.
The lying in this precinct stops now.
- Just like that?
- Just like that.
Think you'll ever give it up to her?
She don't need me to give it up to her.
You still haven't gone
to see psych services?
Your father was a cop.
I know he left the job
under difficult circumstances.
Excuse me, I am here
not to talk about my father.
Don't be afraid ♪
Don't be afraid, no, no, no ♪

QUINLAN: Sir?
- You Oscar Campos?
- Yeah.
Yeah, we got a call you were
requesting police assistance.
How can I help you?
Oh, yeah, so the owner,
he always rides us
about checking the notes section
on the meal delivery apps.
When I seen this,
I didn't know what to do.
The boss told me
to hit you up right away.
Uh, "notes section"?
Yeah, you know, like,
uh, off-menu requests.
Extra ketchup, sauce on the side.
This wasn't that.
7-4 15 to Central.
Requesting a patrol
supervisor to my location.
DISPATCH: 7-4 15, stand by.

You're hilarious.
Mom!
Why are you late for your morning run?
I've been waiting half an hour.
Maybe you overslept because you met
an exciting man?
And had a date for a change?
I mean, that would be nice because
then maybe I'd get some grandkids.
Not that I'm pushing,
but you notice I'm guessing,
since there have been
no calls, no texts,
- no emails.
- Oh!
That's too much guilt
before morning coffee.
So why you ghosting me?
- I'm not, I just, I've been busy.
- Oh.
New job, new responsibilities, it's
it's been a lot.
Work should be number three
on your list, Regina Gail.
But I think I know
a way you can make it up to me.
Do I even want to know?
Second chances, Regina.
No, Mom, just no.
Dinner
at the house as a family. Your dad
Has been MIA for a while now.
And it turns out, I didn't need him.
After all this time Why do you?
God joined us.
And no one better get in His way.
I guess no one told Dad. Look.
You want to forgive him,
fine, just leave me out of it.
I'm happy to,
'cause our marriage is none
- of your business.
- That's right.
But you forgive someone not for them
it frees you.
Hate is a heavy burden.
No, I don't hate him, I just don't care.
I'll see you later.
All right, who's making
threats 'cause they're
unhappy with their bacon,
egg and cheese on a roll?
Read it.
"Hostage. Send police,
"quick, quiet. Please help."
Okay.

I got to call an Uber.
I'm gonna get reamed for
missing roll call, Mom.
[STAMMERS] This two-hour
commute is killing me.
There is a rent-free apartment
in the city close to work.
I wouldn't need the car.
I was thinking We have a deal.
- You live at home your rookie year.
- It's not working.
You're still tied up in knots
about the whole thing.
I have a thousand good reasons to worry.
And it doesn't stop until you
get back home. Please, Andre.
Granddad was a cop.
And he walked a beat
so you didn't have to.
He loved his job.
And my mother never slept.
[PHONE CHIMES]
Closest Uber is 20 minutes out.
[SMACKS LIPS] Take your father's car.
- He's at a conference.
- I'm not driving Dad's car.
Well, then stay home.
Or be very, very late.
And you know what I prefer.
[SIGHS]
- Love you.
- Love you, too.
KILLIAN: Homeowner's name
is Isaiah James.
Guy's clean, no wants, no warrants.
Doesn't make a lot of sense.
We sure this isn't a joke?
- Well, I'm not laughing.
- What're the odds that someone
is being held against
their will and they're able
to request police through a meal app?
Well, it seems pretty real to me.
Can't ESU just kick in the door?
[LAUGHS] No, our-our hands
are tied without probable cause.
OFFICER: You're good to go.
We check it out first,
then call the cavalry.
Get him to open the door.
Record, then bounce.
Okay, got it.
We'll be close by.
Any sign of trouble,
- we're all over it.
- Mm-hmm, copy.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Morning, Officer.
- License and registration.
Uh, I'm actually on the job.
I was in a bit of rush and I
forgot my ID and badge at home.
Car's a hundred grand.
Who does it belong to,
'cause I know it's not yours.
You steal it?
No, it's my father's.
My name's Andre Bentley.
I'm out of the 7-4,
I'm late for roll call.
So can I get a little bit of courtesy?
Stay in your vehicle.
Did I steal it?
[MUTTERING]
[BUZZING]
ISAIAH [OVER INTERCOM]: Leave the food.
I'm sorry, sir, I can't.
I'm gonna need a signature.
Since when?
The app company's eating costs
on non-delivery claims.
No signature, no food, no refund.
[LOCK BUZZES]
- Hey. Oh, yeah.
- Where do I sign?
You're just gonna sign right
Oh, my goodness!
Oh, my gosh! I am so sorry!
I am such a klutz!
Do you have any paper towels? I'll

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
You know what, I'll get another
- order put in. No, no, really.
- It's fine.
- Just forget it.
- I'll just put a rush on it.
No, it's totally fine.
I'm sorry. It was my bad.
I said forget it!
You still haven't called it in
when I said I was on the job.
- I told you to say in the car!
- My CO's Deputy Inspector Regina
You have hearing trouble?
Get your ass back in the car!
All you got to do is call
the 7-4. Why'd you pull me over?
I wasn't speeding.
Car wasn't reported stolen.
- So what made you hit your lights?
- You got no ID,
no badge in a car that isn't yours.
Which you didn't know
until you pulled me over.
So tell dispatch I want
a supervisor here now.
Get off me!
You put hands on me!
I'm taking you in!
I saw a gun in plain view.
Isaiah James is definitely holding
- someone against their will.
- Did you see any evidence of that?
No.
You saw a gun, Brandy,
but you missed something bigger.
Like what?
MORALES: Watch.
Place is pretty empty.
Well, it's on the market.
Gun.
That's why I spilled the food
was to get a better look.
Wait, keep watching.
What's that?
Make it bigger.
That's detcord.
This guy wired his house with a bomb.
Bentley bang in sick today?
KEE: I was just coming over to get you.
He got jammed up by a Highway unit.
For what?
Failure to comply.
That sound right to you?
Not even close. I think you'd
better get over there
and spring him right away.
That's not all I'm gonna do.
Now what are the chances
it was a misunderstanding?
Above your pay grade.
Let's let the white shirts handle it.
Keep your head down
and don't make it worse.
Wouldn't dream of it, Sarge.

Officer Ruhl, Marvin Sandeford,
from the 7-4.
What is your beef
with Officer Andre Bentley?
I catch, release is another department.
Not if you void.
Now why would I do that when
his own actions jammed him up?
You do that to a probie, he's done.
He failed to comply with my orders.
[LAUGHS]: You no.
Power's a heady thing.
Gives you swagger.
Sounds to me you get upset
when certain people don't do
what you say, the moment you say it.
You accusing me of something?
Yes, I am.
He had no ID, no badge,
- no proof it was his car
- You clairvoyant?
You couldn't know any of this
before you pulled him over.
The kid has a temper. He lashed out.
- So don't put this on me.
- Did he grab your gun?
- Did he take a swing at you, did he?
- No. No!
Then you escalated the situation.
We're done here. Now leave.
Oh.
Oh

[KNOCKING]
KILLIAN: This way, Mr. Padilla.
I'm Deputy Inspector Regina Haywood.
- This is Captain Stan Yenko.
- How are you?
- Alex Padilla.
- HAYWOOD: Please sit.
So how can I help?
What can you tell us about Isaiah James?
He's worked for my construction company
for the last ten years as a blaster.
- "Blaster"?
- Explosive demolition.
He designs blasts to control
the way a building falls.
A skilled blaster can collapse a
building into its own footprint
even when it's surrounded
by other buildings.
Isaiah's one out of only 100
across the country.
He's indispensable.
And has served his country with honor.
So I don't know what
this is all about to warrant
What has he done?
Does he have access
to a lot of explosives?
All of them.
Uh, dynamite, TNT, RDX,
C4 to name a few.
Right now, he's LOA.
It's a damn shame.
You say he's on leave of absence.
He have issues?
He's going through
a contentious divorce that's
He's a really good guy
getting screwed over,
so I don't understand
why you're digging into his life.
A lot of people get divorced
and don't need time off, so?
The split got nasty
when Isaiah was forced to sell
the house that's been
in his family for generations.
I made him take the time off.
Are you missing any ordnance?
They're highly regulated
and secured in a vault.
Are you telling me I need to check?
I am. Captain?
We got an angry ex-husband
who may have kidnapped his wife.
Well, according to
the restaurant app SOS,
- she's still alive.
- For now.
Issue a BOLO for the ex.
We need to find her in case
she's not being held in the house.
But why'd he wire the home to blow?
Maybe he resented the hell
out of having to sell the family home.
You know, if I can't
have it, nobody can.
- Full-scale neighborhood evacuation?
- Yes.
But plainclothes
and unmarked vehicles only.
Anything out in the open
might spook the guy.
If I have to requisition
a mobile command unit,
I don't know how we're gonna avoid
the press from invading the block.
And that might set him off.
- Notify ESU?
- Not yet.
The press monitor their calls.
Let's just do what we can
for the victim who asked
for quick and quiet.
Let me handle the press.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Come on.
Got you. Come on, right this way.
[CHATTER CONTINUES]
Lot of uniforms here, Inspector.
- We have a situation, Father.
- I'm sure you do.
But this community lives in fear of you
and your situations, so I'm saying no.
You have my assurance that no one
in your sanctuary
will be interfered with.
What are you doing here?
I heard you can be difficult
so I just thought
I'd see if perhaps
I could persuade you to be
more cooperative instead.
You can't force your way
onto church property, Chief.
Would it make any difference
if I told you it's
- a life-and-death situation?
- Only if I believed you.
A man may have wired
his house with explosives.
Inspector, I think that's
a little bit too much
information to be sharing
with the padre here.
Well, I think we can trust
he'll keep it in confidence.
Like a confession?
Do what you have to do.
Thank you.
He's a tough nut.
Don't I know it.
All right, the microphone's
hidden in the folds of the bag.
All he has to do is take it inside.
Okay, and then what?
I mean, come on, put me to work.
I can help.
Then patrol the perimeter.
Come on, you know the drill.
MORALES: Hey.
You won't be in the bag forever.
You're too much of a go-getter for that.
Okay?
[GRUNTS SOFTLY]
- [KNOCKING]
- Hey, I'm back.
ISAIAH: Told you to forget it!
Well, I ruined your order.
So I had to fix it.
I don't want it.
Well, I paid for it myself.
And I'll just leave it
right here and you can
eat it or not. It's up to you.
Where's your head right now?
If it's not in the game,
how can you watch my six?
Good to know you care.
I get wrongfully pulled over, cuffed,
thrown in a cell, but somehow
- it becomes about you.
- No.
It's about you, and what comes next.
You're about to tell me
to eat it, aren't you?
No doubt you got a genuine beef,
but you got to apologize. If you
don't, you get booted for cause.
If he gets to do that,
I wasn't meant to be a cop.
You let this bastard punch your ticket,
he'll own every part of you.
- Apologize and keep your damn job!
- Not happening.
Not happening.
I'm filing a formal complaint.
Cops don't rat on cops, Bentley.
Just setting yourself up
for retaliation.
You saying you won't back me up?
Glad to know you have my six.
Sandeford, Bentley.
Let's get moving. Inspector's calling
for all hands so report
to the scene forthwith.
ANGELA: What's this about?
I get home with groceries
and I'm surrounded by cops.
Whatever Isaiah did, it is not my fault.
Does he usually go off the deep end?
There've been some episodes.
He went off on my lawyer several times,
the child psychologist, even the judge.
What do you think set him off this time?
Divorce was settled.
Only thing we fight
about now are the girls.
- How old are they?
- Eight and ten.
He's a girl dad through and through.
They always have his full attention.
Any sacrifice is never too much.
He's a good parent and I
wouldn't keep them from him
if he'd just agree to get some help.
Was forcing therapy part
of the divorce agreement?
Yes. My lawyer, Sonya Prayal,
was supposed to get a missing signature.
That was two days ago.
Sir, you want to listen to this?
KILLIAN: Tell us if you
recognize a voice.
SONYA: You have to let me go.
Please, I have a family, I have
ISAIAH: I had one, too.
It's your fault I lost them.
That's Sonya! You need to go in
there and get her right now!
The divorce, it took forever
and Sonya went the extra mile.
She didn't charge me an arm
and a leg. She's good people.
Any reason your ex would hold a grudge
against your lawyer instead of you?
She did say he was unhinged
in open court.
Well, that would do it.
[CAR HORN HONKING]
HAYWOOD: Damn, what's ESU doing here?
[SIRENS WAILING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER, SHOUTING]
REPROTER: Reports say there's
a female hostage
We need to control the circus
or this will end badly.
You know it's not
your call anymore, right?
Chief Suarez, Deputy Inspector Haywood.
I'm Captain Keith Chen.
Soon as I deploy my team,
I need a briefing.
It's my scene now.
"We are men, we are not beasts"
was the rallying cry.
Now it took four days to get
that situation under control.
But 43 hostages and prisoners
at Attica were killed
by unjacketed bullets
fired by state and local police.
Such excessive force was a black eye
for law enforcement that day,
I can tell you.
REPORTER: We've been here awhile.
When are you gonna answer
a straight question?
What kind of explosives
does Isaiah James?
You know, it took 19 hours,
but John Wojtowicz
didn't use any explosives
when he took those hostages
during that Dog Day bank heist and
to sway public opinion,
- he would throw money into the crowd.
- [PHONES CHIMING]
- And the perps
- ESU has control of the scene, so
- thanks for nothing.
- Where you going?
Where you going?
- Guys!
- KEE: Master of the filibuster.
I don't care what everyone
else says about you, Captain.
You're a friggin' genius.
Thank you, Jimmy.

He's had her for two days.
You just talked to the ex?
- Where is she?

Who's calling the target?
What do you want, Angela?

- Oh, it's his wife.
- Son of a bitch.
- Just let Sonya go

- Somebody get that phone from her!
ISAIAH: Who told you to say that?
You've always been a dumb cow.
- Who you calling dumb?
- Hey!
I'm not the one surrounded by cops!
- Idiot!
- Gimme that! What, are you crazy?
Snipers, you do not have a green light.
I was trying to help!
Somebody had to do something.
That someone sure as

Put her on ice.
Give me my phone.
No, you can't have your phone.
Give me a closer look on that.

My name's Keith Chen.
How's everyone doing in there?
Great. Couldn't be better.
And Sonya?
She probably wishes she minded
her own damn business.
Is she hurt?
No.
So no one's been hurt yet.
All right, that's a good thing.
There's still a chance to
resolve this peacefully.
Lie.
We just want to make
sure everyone's safe.
Another lie.
I see snipers on the building.
You-you don't give a damn
what happens to me.
We do care, Isaiah.
Okay? We care about you
and we care about Sonya.
Well, you know what,
I don't believe you.
So if you come in here, we all go.
That's a promise.
[LOCK CLICKS]
HAYWOOD: I'd like to talk to him myself.
You're not getting through.
Maybe I can.
CHEN: What makes you think that?
HAYWOOD: De-escalation.
Captain, Isaiah wanted
to blow up his home.
He didn't intend
to take the lawyer hostage.
She showed up to get a signature.
- He wasn't expecting her.
- You don't know that.
The first one on the scene
has the most information.
- Look, I

Bomb Squad just went through
all this, uh, video footage.
They say the electronic triggers
are daisy-chained.
So one goes, they all go.
He won't give up the hostage,
and now he's not even talking to us.
Eventually, they're gonna
lure him to the window
and snipe him before
he blows the place up.
If he's not talking,
it might be the only way.
Before we reach that conclusion,
I'd like a shot at talking to him.
I think I can reach this guy.
I got to say no, Regina.
It's time to let ESU do their job.
Nobody gets to make a bomb
threat in this city anymore
and expect to just walk away.
One PP got to you.
- They did.
- I got
chiefs and super chiefs
blowing up my cell, yes.
Next call's gonna probably be the PC,
ordering us to light him up.

One of your officers tried to arrest

That's why I can't trust you guys.
Since when did the church
give sanctuary to criminals?
We offer mercy. You should try it.
Well, as soon as he turns
himself in, I'll consider it.
You're trying awfully hard
to fix a very small problem.

We may be forced to kill
this guy to save his hostage.
And since when
do you care about that? Hey.

Thanks for the update.

No. You could set off the explosive.
We already know it didn't go off
when she called the first time.
You got a better idea?
I don't need one.
I already told you no.
Let me try to get through to him.
You have your marching orders

What difference could it possibly make,

You can start by telling

I don't even know anymore.
I'm so tired.
This is exactly what

What's your problem?
Maybe that's the point.
Hey, you're crazy if you
think I want headlines.
"Man Blows Up Himself and Hostage"?
- Then let her work.
- HAYWOOD: I got to say,
you got our undivided attention. Isaiah,
we're troubled by the wired house
and very concerned about the hostage.
So let's lower the temperature
by sending out Sonya Prayal.
And then we can just

They're worried about Sonya Prayal?
What about all the things she did to me?
Well, you can tell me all about it.
I'm willing to listen.
After you let her go.
Only way I release her is when I toss
her dead body on the front steps.
- He's es he's escalating. Hang up.
- Okay.
- What about your daughters?
- Hang up.
How are they going to feel
when they learn what you've done?
Do not talk to me about my kids!
But they love you.
How are they supposed
to handle the fallout?
H-Have you considered them at all?
I don't see them or talk to them
because their mother wants to punish me.
I haven't hugged them in months
while this
lawyer and my demon ex-wife
raked me across the coals.
They're all I had left,
- and they took them from me!
- [BEEPS]
Damn it!
Hell of a pooch screw, Inspector.
Now whatever happens next
- is on you.
- His children mean the world to him.

badge #66107, out of the 7-4.
Anything else you want to know?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Stay in your lane

- Yeah, well, I'm pissed

What's your problem?
Nothing I can't handle.
Got to say, you manhandle a reporter,

What, are you looking for trouble?
Don't have to look for it

- KILLIAN: Well,
he's got a shotgun

Seems committed to seeing this through.
I don't think so.
This escalated every step of the way.

I doubt there's even shells in the gun.

planting explosives when she
unexpectedly showed up

He couldn't let her leave.
But he did let her order food and
Right. And he had her for two days.
So if he wanted to kill her,
he would've done it already.
Right.
Saw you had beef on the line.
- You all right?
- Yeah.
I got to take a leak.
Rookie's still running hot, huh?
You think I don't get
a heads-up when one
of my officers is in custody?
Thinks I'm hanging him out to dry.
Now, let me guess
You told him to apologize.
Making waves just rocks the boat.
Yeah. Sometimes.
When we first got on the job,
we had to eat every
insult, offense [SCOFFS]
slur that they hurled our way.
You and me, we were supposed
to put it all to bed.
But, uh, sometimes I feel like
we haven't made any progress at all.
I don't know if I'd say that, Chief.
A lot of us watched you rise.
Those stars on your collar say
there's been plenty of progress.
I don't live
in my uniform though. Do you?
You'll feel better
if you do something real.
Yeah, but [CHUCKLES]
I'd get arraigned
if I did what I wanted to do.
Any suggestions?
[PHONE RINGING]
Show the rookie you got his back.
No matter what.
Chief Suarez.
[SCOFFS]
Uh, yeah. I'm on my way.
[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]
Do you have joy?
SNIPER: Negative. No clean shots.
Haywood.
If you can get him to talk to you,
keep him in that window.
Snipers can't take the shot
without hitting the hostage.
They can if they hit the sweet spot.
Shot to the dime-sized medulla
will kill a body twitch
before he hits the floor.
What if they miss?
That's a risk we have to take.
SUAREZ: You really think
this is a good idea, Captain?
Time for negotiation's over, Chief.
She's holding my target steady.
Take the shot on my signal.
Snipers, be ready.
Roger that.

HAYWOOD: What's your next step, Isaiah?
I want to see my daughters.
I need to see them.
You can. At my precinct,
after processing.
No!
- [WHIMPERS]
- Bring them here.
I wouldn't do that to them.
I care too much about their welfare.
You're not in charge.[WHIMPERING]
I'm in charge.
You asked me what I wanted.
That's what I want my kids!

Take the shot when you have it.
Do me a favor.
We can talk,
but step away from the window first.
They're not gonna shoot me.
They're willing to end this.
I'm the only one that's not.
Move.
Right now. Please let me go.
I'm begging you. [WHIMPERING]
Isaiah?
SNIPER: I've lost the shot.
Is Sonya okay?
- [CRYING]
- She's fine.
She's whining.
So why don't you let her go?
Eventually, this'll all end.
Don't do anything stupid. Isaiah,
she's someone's daughter, too.
Can I just talk to my kids on the phone?
Wouldn't you rather hug them?
Look, I don't know
when the world decided
that men were expendable.
Kids need their fathers,
especially girls.
Fathers
are the first relationship
with a man they have.
If that goes wrong, they all do.
My wife never understood that.
I don't know about all that.
She says they're daddy's girls.
Look, I was one, too.
And then my dad left, and
all I could do was wonder what
I did wrong to make him go away.
Maybe it wasn't your fault.[WHIMPERING]
Little girls can only hear that
from their fathers.
Did he ever come back?
Yes.
What happened?
I'm not little anymore.
Isaiah,
what are you gonna tell your kids?
I don't plan on telling 'em anything.
They won't understand.
And I can't live
with what they'll think of me
when they find out what I've done.
The only thing your girls want is you.
Even when you
break promises or screw up.
So if all it takes is an apology,
why aren't you talking to yours?
He hasn't apologized.
Isaiah, it's time to end this.
Don't traumatize your girls
with your mistakes.
Give them a chance to forgive you.
[CRYING SOFTLY]
You owe them that.
You owe them.

Get out of here.
You need an ambulance?

Congratulations on your promotion.
I'm not going to talk shop with you.
Unless you're ready
to tell me what went down
when you were at the 7-4.
Didn't you check?
Your records are restricted,
but you know that.
One day, I'll spill.
But right now,
I honestly don't know where to start.
"Forgive me" isn't good enough.
"I'm sorry I left" won't cut it.
I want so badly to make it right,
and I know I'm
just another
screw up, okay?
You can't just fix this with one swing.
I spent most of yesterday
dealing with a guy
who lost everything in a divorce
and was so desperate,
he threatened to blow up his own home.
I talked him down by reminding him
that his daughters needed him,
whether he went upstate or not.
Are you saying you're willing
to admit you need me, Regina?
I don't know. I thought I didn't. I
Then you thought wrong.
Deny your family,
you don't deserve them.
You could be talking about me.
I know that, but I'm talking
to the apple that fell
from your tree. Stubborn,
opinionated, unforgiving
I don't know about all that, Mom,
seeing as I just forgave you
for ambushing me.
Got anything left for me?
I know you want a second chance,
but I don't know if I can give you one.
So, I will just keep asking
until you change your mind.

gravy, eggs, potatoes.
How does that sound?
You cooking or something?
Of course.
That sounds good to me.
Okay, I could eat.
