- Previously on East New York...
- Whoa, whoa.

Arliss Gruen,
Drug Enforcement Administration.

'Cause we're going after a Mexican
drug cartel supplying the Santiagos.

I've got an undercover that's
gotten close them, Sean Dryden.


You used to be in Narcotics.

- You look me up?
- You didn't look me up?

Of course I did.

- What's that?
- Looked you up.

HAYWOOD: That's Napoleon Santiago.

(BEEPING)

Go time.

Police! Don't move!

Hands where I can see 'em.

I remember when you were just a kid.

Were you one of the cops that
tried to lock up my old man?

Your old man, your brother
Kiki, your cousins...

Yeah, you ain't have much
luck with any of 'em.

I got you, Napoleon. And they next.

SANDEFORD: I guess
if we were to try it again,


we'd probably screw it up again,
wouldn't we?

Probably.

But that's not a reason not to
give it a try.

BENTLEY: Sandeford, he knows.

I think we need to cool it.

I don't want to keep this a secret
any longer than we need to.

BENTLEY: You're training me to be a cop.

No, I'm training you to be like me.

If you're training me to be like you,

why don't you let me drive
every once in a while?

Think fast.

Want to drive? Let's go.

- You sit down over there, all excited.
- All right.

(ENGINE REVS)

- Who's got it better than us?
- Nobody.

What's up, man?

SANDEFORD: Bentley!

Oh, no.

(g*nf*re)

-, -, my partner's down!
Cop sh*t.

New Lots and Van Siclen.
Get a bus down here now!

Where you hit?

I got you.

Oh, I don't feel anything.

-, Sector David. Where's the bus?

Where's the bus?!

Hang in there, young man. I got you.

Hang in. Hey, hey, hey. Hey...

HAYWOOD: Bentley's being
transferred to Eastern Memorial.


YENKO: Tell me what you got.

Operations are
coordinating with Highway.

- What's his condition?
- We're responding to the scene now.

- One minute out.
- Any script on the perp?

The bus just left.

How did this happen?

-year-old male police officer.

g*nsh*t wound to the left abdomen.

Complaining of chest pains,
difficulty breathing.

BP /, pulse ox low... %.

Pulse thready, beats per minute.

Pulse dropping, cascading.

We need to intubate him.

Two units of negative O, stat.

Page Cardiothoracic
and get the OR ready.

Do you know who it is?

They're not saying.

(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Is this... Is this Andre's blood?

Where is he?

- Everything happened so fast.
- He's at the hospital.

Okay, I got to go.
I got to go over there.

I got to go over there.

Officer Quinlan, I need you
to focus your attention

on where it needs to be.
Can you do that?

Okay.

We need to get security camera footage

from the Belt to the Jackie
Robinson Parkway, east to west.

Uh, Detective, can you
get them started on that?

Yes, ma'am. You got it. Come on, guys.

You get a look at the sh**t?

- It was too quick.
- What about the car?

Tan. I think it had
a dent in the trunk lid.

SUAREZ: Yeah, I'm - on the scene.

Officer Sandeford, we're gonna need to
get you over to the hospital.

- I-I'm not hurt.
- You still got to get checked out.

I'm not hurt, Chief.

I got off around five or six
rounds at the vehicle.

I don't think I hit anything.

We got Crime Scene over here now.

They're gonna be wanting
to look at your g*n.

Luke?

Marvin, both of them.

Take Officer Sandeford
to the hospital, please.

YENKO: Nothing on the tags.

Not even a partial?

Plates were covered.
Family's been notified.

Father's in Japan on business,

the mother's the only one
presently in the New York area.

Highway is bringing her in.

How far out is she?

They got on the Saw Mill
about five minutes ago.

Have sector cars from the Bronx

shut down the Henry Hudson Parkway.

I pray that Bentley lives,

mother to make it in time.

All right, let me know.

Where are we on this?

We have a description out on the car.
So far, nothing.

Including chop shops

Check out which gangs frequent the area.

This could've been between them,
and Bentley

caught a stray b*llet.

We've checked with g*ng Intelligence.
They're looking at social media

to see if there's some kind
of g*ng beef going on.

What about personal?

MORALES: Personal to Bentley?

To Bentley or to Sandeford.

Well, Sandeford did say he usually is
the one to drive but this time

let Bentley take the wheel.

That bodega's a regular spot for them.

Somebody could have staked it out.

Did I already ask about
security camera footage?

Yeah, boss, I-I told you:

some of the cameras are working,
a lot of them don't.

Find something.

I have an update

on the condition
of the officer who was sh*t.

His condition at present is critical.

Is there a suspect?

The officer and his partner
had stopped to get coffee,

and when they came out an individual

driving what has been identified

as a tan four-door sedan
with tinted windows

fired two rounds,

one of those rounds hitting
the officer just above his vest.

We've set up a hotline

for anyone who has
information regarding this.

Can we have the officer's name, Chief?

Pending notification
of the officer's family,

we're gonna wait on that.

REPORTER: Does the department
place this in a larger context?

Like what kind of larger context?

REPORTER: There are those who see cops

as legitimate targets given all

of the police-involved sh**t

of unarmed individuals.

SUAREZ: I got a young cop who is, uh,

fighting for his life... (PHONE BUZZING)

taking up all of my attention.

Thank you. (PHONE DINGS)

(REPORTERS CLAMORING)

Bentley's out of surgery.

g*ng Unit says it's... not gangs.

So we're looking in

Sandeford or Bentley might have
been into that accounts for it.

We got a whole task force
working on this, Regina.

Yeah, I wish I still smoked, you know?

Would that make it easier?

It'd give me something

He's the one who saved me. Bentley.

Somebody told me he looked

Come on!

You didn't put in enough money.

Oh.

(COIN CLINKS)

Thank you.

We're looking into whether
the sh**t targeted

Bentley or Sandeford.

As opposed to just
wanting to sh**t a cop?

Just trying to rule things out.

Well, I don't know enough about
either one of them to say.

How long have you
and Bentley been involved?

I could spot the way you look at
each other from across the room.

Andre didn't want it to get out.

Now's not the time to worry about that.

So if you're asking me if
I know any deep, dark secrets,

the answer is, I don't.

I honestly don't think Andre has any.

MORALES: Bentley's a rookie.

He hasn't been on the job
long enough to make enemies.

What about off the job?

Nothing. Lived with his
parents after college.

Seems like a straight sh**t.

And Sandeford, on the other hand,

kicks out a couple
of distinct possibilities.

He collared an OC enforcer
named Benny DeStefano

for murdering and dismembering
a Russian nightclub owner.

When he was putting DeStefano in
the car, there were photographers.

DeStefano tried to hide his face,

Sandeford grabbed him by the
chin and wouldn't let him do it.

Two weeks ago, one of the
Russians he was locked up with

stabbed DeStefano to death
in the Brooklyn House of Detention.

Did somebody blame Sandeford for that?

Yeah, DeStefano's
brother's half-mobbed up,

he's been heard making
threats, so it's a possibility.

Okay. That it?

Sandeford has also been
spending time with this woman

named Tamika Martin,
who he used to live with.

Don't tell me she has a husband.

An ex-husband named Miguel Arias,

who got physically abusive
enough with her in the past

for her to get an order of protection.

Okay, bring in the DeStefano brother

and Tamika's ex-husband,
let's see what we got.

We understand you may have a problem
with one of our officers.

Oh, yeah? (CHUCKLES)

Who's that?

Marvin Sandeford.

Yeah. I got a big problem
with Marvin Sandeford.

KILLIAN: When's the
last time you had contact


with your ex-wife, Miguel?

I saw her a couple of weeks ago.

She by herself?

MORALES: So you think
Officer Sandeford put the word out

that your brother was a snitch?

I'm telling you, Sandeford
had it in for my brother.

No, she was with her cop boyfriend.

DESTEFANO: I mean, maybe

Benny opened up his mouth.

Maybe Sandeford just wanted
to show him how much

of a tough guy he is. Either way,

my brother paid the price.

You and her cop boyfriend get into it?

Why? He filing charges
against me for harassment?

KILLIAN: I just want
to see how far it went.

It didn't go nowhere. I said my piece,

I got in my car and went to Nyack,

where I got people who love me.

Where were you today
around noon, Arthur?

Where were you
around noon today, Miguel?

DESTEFANO: I was in physical

MIGUEL: Around noon I was at

KILLIAN: Yeah, I do.

- Did you sh**t my partner, Miguel?
- Damn it.

- Do what? What'd I do?
- I said, did you sh**t my partner?

- Get out of the room, Sandeford.

The US Attorney for the Eastern District

is making arrangements
for Napoleon Santiago

And in return, Napoleon
Santiago is offering

the US Attorney enough information
to send other people to prison,

a lot of other people.

- Man, you lying.
- You can take that chance.

Mm-hmm.

But providing information
leading to the arrest

of someone who sh*t a cop?

valuable information.

And you might seriously
consider that coming from you.

So, you're saying no jail time?

I can't make that call.

But I'd say
there's a good chance of no jail time.

So, I tell you where Kiki is,

Santiagos just gonna let it go?

Santiagos is over and done.

As soon as they quit making money,

their enforcers and
foot soldiers are gone.

And what this comes down to

is either they sending you to prison
or you sending them.

You're telling me all this why?

That was one of my cops
that was sh*t today.

sh*t by someone in a stolen car

and I think that someone was Kiki.

Why do you think that?

Because the person who stole
the car was paid in dope.

That dope was packaged
identically like the dope

That don't mean it was Kiki.

Kiki's less than a year

You think I'm gonna give him up?

It depends how long you want
to keep getting passed over.

Because you're older than your brothers.

You're way more sophisticated.

Has anyone ever thought
about giving you a sh*t?

You?

That's not how it works.

This isn't some law of nature.

Your brothers made it that way.

Where'd you get
all this insight into my family?

I interviewed your
father before he d*ed.

He wanted you to run
the family business.

You.

He couldn't have wanted it that bad.

Otherwise, it would've happened.

By that time he was too sick

and weak and your brothers
didn't care what he wanted.

Cops don't usually take an interest

in the organization
of my family's business.

I want your brother, Lucia.

And from where I'm sitting...

...you should be only too happy
to give him up.

(EXHALES)

where he is from me.

No one will.

No one.

I just got word Sandeford's
on his way over there.

How'd he get the location?

- I'm not at liberty to say.
- No, of course not.

I don't mean to hold
information from you.

No, no. No, no, no apologies.

Everything on a need-to-know basis.

I just can't believe
that you got Lucia Santiago

to give up her own brother.

They weren't exactly close.

Whatever, man. I'm not gonna beg.

I don't expect you to.

Tough guy like you.

(SCOFFS) After all,
you sh*t a cop on his lunch break

from a moving car.

They don't get much tougher than that.

Rules have changed, old man.

we're just gonna hire a lawyer,

No.

I wasn't thinking about it

Who sent you a text

I never got a text it was Santiago.

Well, how'd you know?

I trained a lot of cops, Chief.

Something about this one was different,

seeing him get cut down like that...

So you decided to go rogue,
in other words.

I guess that's one word
you could use for it.

One of the kinder ones.

And what would you have done
in my place?

I would've abided by
departmental regulations.

I know the kind of cop you were.

Consequences. There's going
