East New York (2022) s01e06 Episode Script

1
Previously on East New York
- Deputy Mayor Sharpe.
- I'm an asset to you.
I could help you with the mayor.
I could help you with
a variety of people.
It's called setting up for success.
I've gotten Ruskin Gardens
to provide us with
- two one-bedroom apartments.
- I'll do it.
Why'd you volunteer to do this, Quinlan?
I grew up in Section Eight housing
with a drug addict mother.
And when I was 15, I ran away
and I lived on the streets,
and I didn't consider myself
part of any community.
When we first got on the job,
we had to eat every insult, offence
Sometimes I feel like
we haven't made any progress at all.
Those stars on your collar say
there's been plenty of progress.
KILLIAN: You know, back when I was
on the Warrant Squad with Desmond,
his gut told him the Selkirk brothers
had gone out of state.
By the time we picked him up
- he'd killed, what, two more people?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hey, hey!

HAYWOOD: I know you
all are starting work today,
but anyone who needs to be
moved from this site
Will be moved by us.
If you put your hands
on any of these people
or their belongings,
you will be subject to arrest.
Folks, they're going to break
ground on this site today,
and we have to ask you to move
and go somewhere else, okay?
Somewhere else where?
There's a list of nearby
shelters and temporary housing
that we'll provide you with.
What about my dog?
We'll see if there's a place
that'll let you bring your dog.
Okay? The Trumans,
whom some of you may know,
they've been running the food pantry
at St. Abigail's.
They're providing box lunches
to anyone who wants one.
Uh, raise your hands, Trumans,
so they know where you are.
Over there, okay?
Nadia Nye from All New York News.
- Could I get a statement?
- Yeah.
There's been an encampment
at this location
for quite some time now,
and the people who have been here,
they've been calling this home.
At the same time,
this is private property,
and they're here without
permission from the owner,
so we're respectfully asking
that they all move on from here
and go somewhere else.
Why are you always talking about
"somewhere else"?
There ain't no somewhere else.
- We understand
- Uh, Inspector Haywood,
if I might interject something?
The way to handle
the problem of homelessness
is to build more homes.
That's what you're seeing
happening here today.
Affordable homes?
A significant percentage
of them will be affordable.
- The mayor's committed to that.
- Excuse me.
No, I don't have, I don't have
time to go through everything.
I understand. We just want
to help you with your things.
Okay, just put everything in there
- and I'll go through it later, okay?
- Don't worry,
we'll help you out. All right?
All right, just you know, careful.
- This is everything.
- We will be.
- What's your name?
- May.
Ah, you got a Charlie's Angels poster.
Yeah, I do.
Who's your favorite angel?
Gotta be Lucy Liu, right?
- Shelly Hack.
- Oh
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- All right.
- SANDEFORD: There's a Starlight
Motor Lodge over there
on Cross Bay Boulevard.
Tell 'em I sent you there.
They'll let you keep your dog.
- I still get my box lunch?
- Come on.
WOMAN: Coming through, you guys.
BOY: Hey, Henry, let's help over here.
Take Whoops.
Tamika?
Hey, Marvin.
Since when are you back in Brooklyn?
Since about two years ago.
That's-that's crazy.
Hi, would you like a lunch box?
- Is it?
- I mean, I didn't know you were back.
Um, no way you would, right?
Here you go, sweetheart.
But you're good, though, right?
I'm fine. How about yourself?
Yeah, fine. Good.
I, um Nice to see you.
ROSA: My neighbors were playing
their music until 2:00 in the morning.
And that super. I had
to call him three times
to come and fix the hot water.
- Wow.
- And your cousin
is sending me information
about places in Yonkers again.
Okay.
She says it's because
she's worried about me here.
Really it's so she doesn't have
to listen to Conchetta complain.
[LAUGHS]
I mean [EXHALES SHARPLY]
it wouldn't be
the worst thing in the world
for you to live in Yonkers.
Don't you start with this.
Well, seriously
where Conchetta lives, it is safer.
I'm safe enough.
Bueno.
Okay.
This one, that's to turn the TV on,
and that's for the cable.
Two remotes, Johnny?
Why?
Ah, ah. I don't
know. I don't know, Ma.
That's that's the only way
that I can make it work.
Ah.
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]
Isaac? Isaac!
Excuse me, you seen a little boy?
Isaac!
I don't know where my son is.
He was here, and now he's not here.
And I don't know where he is.
- Okay, how old is he?
- He's ten.
Is it possible he went over to the park?
- My husband lives in the park.
- Okay, okay. It's okay.
- Does he have a phone?
- I called it, like, 30 times.
Okay, let me let my sergeant know,
and we'll put out word
that he's missing.
- Thank you.
- Okay? It's gonna be okay.
Isaac?
Isaac, baby!
WOMAN: You're always talking
to me like that.
- MAN: I don't know, shut up.
- WOMAN: Don't tell me to shut up.
- Shut up.
- Why you always telling me to shut up?
- Listen, listen.
- What?
You think you're
gonna make problems
and I ain't gonna
do nothing about it?
You're the one who makes your
problems, you stupid bastard.
- Come on, man.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey!
- This doesn't concern you.
- I'm a police officer.
- You cannot be hitting her.
- How 'bout what she did?
- How 'bout what she did?
- Get your hands Step away.
- You see what you
- What I did?
Yeah. Listen. No, no, no.
Get your hands against the car!
Spread your legs. Spread your legs.
Ma'am, I'm gonna tell you
step back, step back.
I'm standing right here.
- Hey, come on.
- What is that?
- Man, come on.
- What is this?
Come on, give him a break.
See, now we're in
a whole different thing, man.
Come on, he didn't do nothing. Come on.
Hands on the car. Bring that hand down.
- Listen. Listen to me.
- Please step back.
I told you he didn't do nothing.
Come on. Come on.
- I said step back!
- MAN 2: Easy.
I asked you to step away.
Don't you move.
I'm a police officer.
Can one of you manage to call 911?
- I'm telling you, man
- Don't move. Don't move.
- Recent picture?
- Last week.
[PHONE CHIMING]
We got a ping on the phone.
Chester?
Where's the phone?
What?
Where is the phone?
That's Isaac's phone.
Those are his stickers.
- Where'd you get this?
- I found it on the ground.
- Please tell us where he is.
- Who?
- Just tell us where our son is.
- I don't know where he is.
- I found it over there.
- You come to our food pantry, man.
Where over there?
Stairs to the subway.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
TROY: Hey, Morales.
Hey, look, last time
I saw you I was a real jerk.
I've been going through some
things, but that's no excuse.
I'm sorry. We're on the same team.
Homicide from last year. You?
Pattern robbery.
Took me a month to make the case.
Hey, good for you.
Thanks. Your support means
so much to me.
See ya, Troy.
Prepped and ready to go,
Officer Quinlan?
No one will ever know it's
your first time testifying.
My part's pretty easy.
It's a good collar, Detective.
Officer Quinlan just has to
answer a few simple questions,
and we're home.
Let's go.
So what do we know about
this guy who found the phone?
KILLIAN: All right,
name's Chester Pruitt.
Honorably discharged
from the Navy in 2005.
He took a vagrancy collar
in 2015, another one in 2019,
another in 2020.
We don't like him for snatching
this kid, though, do we?
Well, Officer Aziz was talking
to him right around the time
the kid was snatched,
and we don't have a record
of him doing anything like it before.
I get the impression
he just picked up the phone.
Sex offender registry?
Well, we're cross-checking
with anyone in the area
who've had contact with the police,
and also anyone who's working
or staying at nearby shelters.
What about the parents?
No, no, there's, uh, no case
of child abuse or neglect.
And I'm also out to ACS
for a records check.
We have all sectors canvassing.
Let's just hope we get lucky.
YENKO: Yeah.
Yeah.
[SPANISH RAP SONG PLAYING]
♪
Hi, there.
Y'all seen this kid right here?
Mm-mm.
No, I ain't seen him.
Thank you.
First few hours is critical
with a missing kid.
He went down in the subway,
he could be anywhere.
Do you right away start
thinking sex trafficking?
Nope, let's don't even
say those words, okay?
- No, but I mean
- Of course I start thinking it,
but let's not speak on it
till we need to, okay?
BENTLEY: Okay.
You knew that woman
who was giving out box lunches.
- Uh-huh.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Seemed like you knew her.
- 'Cause I did know her.
- I just said I know her.
- All right, Marvin.
I just asked.
Used to live together, okay?
Okay.
I didn't expect to run into her today.
But when you ask me did I know her
yeah, I know her.
NYE: You see the construction workers?
Okay, now, zoom in on them
putting the furniture
inside the dumpster.
- You're Nadia Nye.
- Uh-huh.
- Yeah, I watch you all the time.
- Thank you.
Think it might be possible
for our detectives
to take a look at some of that video
that you shot this morning?
We only do that under subpoena.
We're looking for a ten-year-old
kid who's gone missing.
Turning over footage
isn't really up to me.
That's up to the executive producer.
Obviously.
The thing that we're worried about
is, uhm, sex trafficking.
I'm gonna tell them you said
it was a police emergency.
Tell 'em whatever you want.
TOLCHIN: The night of April 27,
you got a call
from Detective Morales, did you not?
Yes, I did.
What was the nature of that call?
She told me that her
confidential informant
had advised her that a suspect
in a string of armed robberies
had just hit an apartment
building on Pitkin Avenue.
Detective Morales was
in the Bronx at that point,
so she sent me a photograph
of the suspect
and asked if I could pick him up.
- And did you do so?
- Yes.
I identified the individual
from the photograph,
and I stopped and detained him.
At which point, we then found
several articles of jewelry
within his pockets.
I then transported him
to the 7-4 precinct,
where I turned him over
to Detective Morales.
Do you see that individual
in the courtroom?
Yes, he's right there.
No further questions.
Did the defendant inform you that
he was a heroin addict at that time?
I believe he did, yes.
That have any effect on you?
I felt for him.
Ah. Did you feel for your mother?
Objection. Irrelevant.
Excuse me?
Ask to be given a chance
to demonstrate relevance.
Demonstrate it quickly.
Your mother goes by the name
Ann-Marie Quinlan?
- Your Honor
- Yes, yeah, that's her name. Right.
Counsel, approach.
Where are you going
with this, Counselor?
The witness made an identification
based on a photograph, she says.
I'm entitled to challenge
that identification
by demonstrating that
once my client admitted
he was a drug addict,
based on Officer Quinlan's
personal history,
she was gonna search him with or
without reasonable justification
and arrest him with
or without probable cause.
You can't actually think that
that's what happened.
Officer.
You're just mouthing
it is whatever lawyers
- are supposed to say.
- [JUDGE BANGS GAVEL]
You don't actually believe
that's the truth.
Officer Quinlan!
And because it gives
you something to say,
so then you dig up dirt on my mother?
But it has absolutely nothing to do
- with any of this?
- Officer Quinlan!
Officer Quinlan,
one more word and I will
hold you in contempt.
The jury will disregard the
witness's outburst in its entirety.
We stand in recess
till 3:00 this afternoon,
at which time Mr. Parcell will
resume his cross-examination,
and the witness will
maintain her composure.
Get out of my way.
[PEOPLE MURMURING]
YENKO: The guy who found the kid's phone
alibied out, and the cameras
over at Wyckoff Station don't work.
We're still waiting on the cross-check
from the sex offender registry.
- Inspector, Deputy Mayor Sharpe.
- Sure.
You, my friend, have a problem.
What's that?
That incident you got
involved in this morning?
It's all over Twitter.
WOMAN [PHONE VIDEO]: Come on
Come on Come on
Come on Come on
- Oh, my God.
- What is it?
I'm leaving my mother's building.
Two people were having
a domestic dispute.
Turned into a gun collar.
SHARPE: The
problem is, it looks like
you threw this girl
to the ground, hard.
HAYWOOD: We should
see if other videos exist.
- Come on!
- [KNOCK ON DOOR]
Hey, we got footage of the kid
from All New York News, Inspector.
- You gotta see this.
- Yeah.
Come on! Come on!
This looks bad, Chief. Looks real bad.
All right, it's all time-stamped.
The kid was with his parents
before this.
It's cued up to
when he's unaccounted for.
That's him.
Wait, wait. Who's-who's that?
He was hanging around the food pantry
the last time we were there.
His name is Henry something.
[QUIET CHATTER]
Talk to the Isaac's parents.
They may know where to find Henry.
We need to find this boy before
something bad happens to him.
I want all the sector cars
to have a description of Henry.
Have Transit keep checking the subway.
Just keep checking.
♪
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
Come in.
- Chief.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
We need to have a little chat,
you and me.
Absolutely.
What the hell happened this morning?
I'd been to see my mother,
and as I was leaving,
I saw two people engaged
in a domestic dispute.
The video has you clocking this girl.
She looks like
she's 110 pounds dripping wet.
Chief, she came at me.
As I was taking a gun off her boyfriend.
I didn't clock her.
I pushed her back
so I could deal with the gun.
I'm not standing
in judgment, John,
but this isn't gonna
go away by itself.
- I understand.
- You're a borough commander.
What the hell are you getting
involved with this nonsense for?
The guy hit her
while I was standing there.
I didn't really feel like
I had much choice.
Well, see if you feel
the same way when
you're on the front
page of the Post.
- [SCOFFS]
- Internal Affairs has it.
They're conferring with the commissioner
to decide what's gonna happen.
Whatever they come back with,
I'm concerned about what
it's gonna do to you long-term.
Whatever it looks like,
I know what I did was not out of line.
If you're talking about
moving up in the Department,
getting a third star on your shoulder,
what it looks like is what it is.

[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[TAPPING FOOT]
Can I can I have my camera back?
As soon as you answer some questions.
It's making me agitated
that I don't have my camera.
Where did you and Isaac go, Henry?
It's a simple question.
It's a simple question to ask
if I can have my camera back.
We have video of the two of you
walking off together.
Now, are you
gonna tell me it didn't
happen, or are you
gonna help me out here?
[TAPPING FOOT]
Look, I'm not gonna hit you.
Just tell me where you went.
Killian's going about this all wrong.
This is not how you communicate
with a kid who's on the spectrum.
HAYWOOD: Do you have
any experience in this regard?
I'm not claiming to
be an authority here
I know that.
but I think that we should be
more adaptive, don't you?
HAYWOOD:
Okay, I think it's worth a shot.
HENRY: I feel like everyone's
saying I did something wrong.
[DOOR OPENS]
I think this might need
a different approach, Detective.
Okay, well, what kind of approach?
We need to meet him where he is.
What does that mean?
It means we're letting
Captain Yenko talk to him.
Yes. [SCOFFS]
Be my guest.
Hello, Henry. My name is Stan.
Are you above the other guy,
or is he above you?
Well, no, I guess I'm above him,
but the Police Department is organized
a little differently than that.
Can-can you get my camera back?
♪
Can't you do this without me?
It's your case,
what do you even need me for?
You establish chain of custody
for what he had on him
when he was arrested.
You establish probable
cause to search him.
Without you, there's no case.
This happen to you every time
someone mentions your mother?
No.
What is it, then?
The courtroom setting?
Mentioning your mother in there?
Since you're asking, yeah.
My mother was arrested for
drug possession for the fourth time,
and her lawyer thought that
it would make her seem more sympathetic
if I was in the courtroom
during sentencing.
I was 11 years old.
I guess you could say it left a mark.
I heard when Haywood asked
for volunteers
to live in public housing,
your hand shot straight up.
Right.
Didn't hesitate.
Didn't think about what
it would be like to be a cop
living in the projects.
If you can do that,
you can make this right.
How am I supposed to do that?
Ask yourself if some guy
who breaks into people's apartments
in the middle of the night, ties them up
and robs them blind deserves to be
back on the street.
Of course he doesn't.
We're cops.
Every day, we separate our
professional from our personal.
And that is it.
So do that and put this scumbag away.
♪
HAYWOOD: We have reason to believe
that Henry has Isaac.
Henry would not do this.
Honey, they have the two of them
leaving together.
We don't know where they went.
Them leaving together might
have been totally innocent.
It's got to be somebody else.
Henry loves Isaac.
He would never hold him
against his will.
He would never keep him
from getting in touch with us.
I don't know what he'd do.
Can I talk to you for a second,
Inspector?
Okay. Yeah.
I will be right back.
So, am I still working
on this missing kid case,
or should I just remove myself entirely?
What do you have for me, Detective?
A few months ago,
someone tried to grab a kid
outside of an elementary school.
Now, Morales brought a guy named
Lloyd Turner in for questioning.
He's a registered sex offender.
HAYWOOD: You talk to Morales?
Just now.
Lloyd Turner works in the food pantry
at Saint Abigail's.
Bring him in, right now. Right now.
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Got your camera.
You know, Detective Killian
wasn't trying to be mean to you.
It's just we're not allowed
to have cameras
inside the interview room.
It might not be as important
to other people as it is to me.
I understand.
How long do I have to stay here?
I don't know.
Who does know?
Well, everybody's worried
'cause they don't know where Isaac is.
- Do you know where he is?
- No. No.
You know where
the last place you saw him was?
- [TAPPING FOOT]
- Yeah.
Can you tell me?
415 Knickerbocker Avenue.
- Well, that's your place, Henry.
- Yeah.
Uh, Isaac walked me from
where the homeless people were
because I didn't want to be
there anymore, because it was sad.
Why was it sad?
You don't think it's sad that
people put all their things
into a shopping cart
because they have to move away,
because they can't even sleep
in a vacant lot anymore?
No, I do.
So, that's why I wanted to leave
and Isaac walked me home.
I see.
Can you tell me what happened
when you got home?
We divided up a pack of Swedish
Fish and a pack of gummy bears,
and, uh, Isaac left to go
back to the food pantry.
Also, I gave him some pretzel rods.
And that was the last time you saw him?
Yeah.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Tamika.
You got a Lloyd Turner here?
Why?
'Cause I got to talk to him.
TAMIKA: You think he knows
something about Isaac?
Yeah.
TAMIKA: I'll tell you right now,
I don't think he knows
anything about Isaac.
We still got to talk to him, all right?
Lloyd?
- Lloyd.
- Lloyd, don't run.
Lloyd!
Lloyd, don't run!
Nope. Nope. Come here.
Put your hands against the wall.
It'll-it'll be okay.
Can somebody call my sister and tell her
- I might not be home for dinner?
- Where's the kid, Lloyd?
I don't know.
You took off running,
you know something.
I don't know. I don't know anything.
- I didn't do anything.
- Then why'd you run?
[SIGHS] I used to do things.
What kind of things, Lloyd?
The kind of thing
I think somebody's doing
to Isaac right now.
- The kind of things I don't do anymore.
- Get him out of here.
KILLIAN: So, you're a
proofreader at a law firm
and volunteer at a food pantry.
I try to do something that's worthwhile.
Yeah. You ever tempted to slip
back into your old ways
- working at the food pantry?
- No.
A lot of young kids around.
That's not difficult for you?
It's been almost 20 years since
I've acted on that impulse,
yet you seem intent on doubting
that can control myself.
Lloyd, I'm a detective.
Part of what I do is to doubt
whatever it is people tell me.
Now, you work with the Trumans,
is that right?
- Yes.
- So you're around their son Isaac.
I'm around the whole family.
- Were you around them this morning?
- No.
- Where were you?
- I-I got to work at 7:00.
That's pretty early to start work.
I have to proofread documents
from the night before.
Yeah, and when do you take lunch
if you start at 7:00?
I-I take lunch at 11:00,
if I take lunch.
Did you take lunch this morning?
No, I had a sandwich at my desk.
And you left work at what time?
2:30.
Yeah. Where'd you go then?
- The food pantry.
- How'd you get there?
- The bus.
- Which bus?
- The B54.
- What stop?
- Forrest Avenue.
- [BANGS ON TABLE]
I didn't do it!
[TAKES BREATH] I didn't do it.
[SHAKY BREATH]
[PAPERS RUSTLE]
Your friend, uh, she had to know
this guy has a history, right?
I'm sure she does.
Seemed like she thought
we were wrong for taking him in.
Yeah. Didn't help
that it was me doing it.
I guess you didn't leave
on the best of terms, huh?
I didn't leave.
She did.
[CHUCKLES]: N-Not that I
didn't have something to do with it.
My mother says cops aren't known
for long and happy marriages.
There's probably some truth to that.
Yeah.
[MICROWAVE BEEPING]
[MICROWAVE DOOR OPENS]
[GASPS]
- What do we have as of now?
- All right.
Henry said that
the last time he saw Isaac
was when he was walking him home.
And the guy I'm talking to
seems to have an alibi.
In other words, we have nothing.
And it starts to get dark
around 4:30.[YANKO SIGHS]
However scared this kid has been
up until now,
it's gonna get a whole lot scarier.
Yeah, and I got to let
this guy go, though, don't I?
Yeah. You do.
All right.
[SIGHS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- All right, this one's done.
- Thanks, Sarge.
[SIGHS HEAVILY]
You can't bring dogs in here, sir.
[GROANS]
My apologies, Mr. Turner.
When a child goes missing
LLOYD: It's okay, it's-it's all right.
If I were in your position,
I'd suspect me, too.
You let him go?
He's not the man, Mr. Truman.
But he's a convicted sex offender.
I heard the detective say that.
That doesn't mean that
he's the man who abducted your son.
So what do we do now?
You can go home, or you can wait
in the room we have for you.
I don't want to go home.
Okay.
Come on.
SHARPE: Greetings and
salutations, Chief.
This is Nadia Nye of All New York News.
I don't know that
the two of you have met.
- How you doing, Nadia?
- Chief.
So, you got more bad news for me?
No, we actually have
some good news for you.
Nadia's news organization has managed
to procure cell phone video
of the entirety of
this morning's unfortunate incident.
Take it away, Nadia.
When you watch the video
from the beginning,
you'll see it's clear
you are the one being attacked.
I mean, you're
the one defending yourself,
and, might I add,
with a minimum of physical force.
Personally,
I thought you were being rather gentle.
SHARPE: Nadia is someone we can
and should be working with, John.
It's our understanding that with access
comes responsibility.
And you'd like to be given access?
You pick and choose which news
organization you give it to.
I'd like to see it be us.
One hand washes the other.
I dropped off a copy at
the Chief of Patrol's office.
Thanks.
I'll put it on your tab.
Hey!
KEE: I told you,
you cannot bring your dog inside.
Listen, I know something
about this morning.
What about this morning?
I wasn't gonna say anything,
because of the way
you guys treated me
when I found the phone,
but it's not fair to the boy
to have to pay because I'm mad.
All right, uh, just
wait back there, please. Thank you.
Yeah, hey, Killian.
Yeah, you better get
down here right away.

KILLIAN: Hey.
- He friendly?
- In a manner of speaking.
There's a guy who waits outside
the food pantry sometimes.
Sometimes he waits outside the church.
Ah. You talking about Henry?
Not Henry. See, this is why
I wasn't gonna say anything.
I know who you're talking about.
I know who Henry is.
He works with Tamika and
the Trumans in the food pantry.
Because we live on the street
doesn't mean we're insane
or delusional, you know.
Nah, I don't think that.
This guy works for Transit.
I don't know what he does,
but he usually has on an orange vest,
and he spends a lot of time
talking to the boy.
Something about him isn't right.
Okay?
I said it.
Okay. All right. Hey, thank you.
Okay, now,
how would Isaac
have gotten back to
Saint Abigail's after
leaving your house?
How come you don't have a uniform on?
It's I'm a detective.
Detectives don't wear uniforms.
You know what would be great
is if you could tell us
what route he took.
He'd go to the corner and turn right.
Corner, huh?
Can you tell us which corner?
The corner where you go
to get the L train.
And is there a stop there?
Yeah.
You know what would be great?
If you showed us.
I thought I couldn't leave.
[STAMMERS]
We'll all go together, okay?
We can take a walk together.[KNOCKING]
How's it going?
What does it mean that
she has a white shirt on?
It means she's the boss.
YENKO: We were thinking
of taking a walk.
Mind if I come along?
I don't have an opinion
one way or the other.
Cool. Okay.
KILLIAN: It's a nice day to be
outside, huh, Henry?
[DOG BARKING]
That's the house with the mean dog.
So we walk on this side of the street.
Oh, that's smart.
That's a good approach.
So, my guess is that
you and Isaac turn
left at the light, is
that right, Henry?
Unless we were getting Carvel.
Then we would've gone
right at the light,
then we would've turned around
and walked back with our cones.
Soft serve vanilla in a small
sugar cone, nothing like it.
Yeah, is that what you'd get?
A, uh, soft serve vanilla
in a small sugar cone?
Unless the motorman was buying.
Then we'd get large
'cause he was buying.
Can you describe the motorman
to us, Henry?
I have to take this picture first.
Sure.
You don't see very many of these.
No, Henry, you don't.
You take pictures of
anything else, Henry?
Trains, too. Also the tracks,
and the blue and white enamel signs
that say what station it is.
Can I see some of those pictures?
You'll give it back, though, right?
I promise.
There are pictures here
from inside a train yard.
Yeah.
How did you get in there?
The the motorman let us in.
- You and Isaac?
- Yeah.
How did you know
he was a motorman, Henry?
He had a motorman's badge on his vest.
- An orange vest?
- Yeah.
Do you know the
motorman's name, Henry?
No.
Do you know where he lives?
Upstairs from the vaping shop.
And you know which one?
Closer to the 3 train than the L train,
'cause when Isaac and I went over there,
we took the L train
and it was a long walk.
YENKO: Henry, what street?
Do you know the street?
I know there was a stop
sign on the corner.
1810 Wyckoff Avenue.
- Thank you, Henry.
- Thanks.
Thank you.
Transit has an employee at this
address named Ronald Kolodny.
They got him listed
as a mechanic, though,
- not a motorman.
- KILLIAN: All right.
The super says he hasn't
been there in a while.
Anything in the apartment?
- Yeah. Toys.
- What kind of toys?
Build-your-own-cyborg,
trampolines,
virtual reality glasses.
Toys to lure a ten-year-old boy.
We got to get to that
train yard right now.
JUDGE: Think you'll be
able to conduct yourself
with appropriate decorum this afternoon,
- Officer Quinlan?
- I do, Your Honor.
And I'd like to apologize
for my behavior earlier.
Mr. Parcell.
You ready to resume
your cross-examination of the witness?
Assuming she lets me, Your Honor.
We've already established
she's gonna let you, Mr. Parcell.
Please proceed.
Officer Quinlan.
Is it possible that,
given your personal history,
you identified
the wrong man in that photograph?
I separate my personal history
from my professional responsibilities.
And I wasn't relying
solely on the photograph.
Along with the jewelry
that he took from the apartment,
he also had on him
a knife and seven zip ties.
He didn't just rob people, Mr. Parcell.
He terrorized them.
Ask that the witness confine her remarks
to answering the question.
You opened it up to personal attacks,
counselor, works both ways.
Given your mother's chronic
addiction to hard narcotics,
you really deny having a bias
against drug addicts?
I deny having any bias that gets
in the way of me doing my job.
When I put on this uniform,
I am bound by the oath that I took
and I act accordingly.
Okay, so you expect us
to believe that you kept
a level head, put your feelings
about your mother aside,
made sure there was sufficient
probable cause to justify a search
and brought Mr. Rodriguez into custody
the way you would any other suspect.
I expect that
because it's the truth.
I apologize again for earlier.
I wasn't expecting
my mother to be brought up.
But when I'm at work,
I'm able to do my job just fine.
And I also dutifully recorded
all of this into my patrol log,
per regulation,
if you care to take a look.
- How'd you do?
- Mm.
Perp changed his plea to guilty.
Sentencing guidelines calls
for eight-to-ten years minimum.
How'd your homicide go?
My homicide.
I should probably fess up to, uh,
what that was about.
I'm gonna use the bathroom.
I'm not here for a homicide.
I'm here for a divorce.
I guess that's kind of a homicide.
[SOFT CHUCKLE] Feels like it.
- Kids?
- Three.
- [SUCKS IN BREATH] Ooh.
- And because she works
in Manhattan South,
guess who's getting transferred?
They tell you where?
Did not.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Well, I should probably,
uh, hang out here,
- wait for my lawyer.

Bye.
You did real good on that stand, Brandy.
Thanks.
