01x06 - Court on the Street

[bunniefuu]

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 , 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 k*lled, 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.

Since about two years ago.

That's-that's crazy.

Hi, would you like a lunch box?

- Is it?

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 : 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]

TOLCHIN: The night of April ,
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 - 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 : this afternoon,

at which time Mr. Parcell will
resume his cross-examination,

maintain her composure.

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 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.

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 Kn*fe 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 att*cks,

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.

Well, I should probably,
uh, hang out here,

- wait for my lawyer.

Bye.
