Lieutenant cooper?

Hi. You must be inspector markey.

Sorry about the time. Traffic on the bridge.

Can I get you a coffee?

I have a 9:00. How about we get started?

Let's go.

So, how can we help new york's bravest?

You hear about the woman we lost yesterday?

A fire fighter named suzanne tesher?

Yes. I'm terribly sorry.

The one in the tenement, right?

I'm pushing the other inspector generals

To open an investigation.

If we do, we're going to need outside help.

Why? You don't think it was an accident?

Tubes inside her air mask were disconnected.

It's possible they popped out

But it's not something you'd catch on a routine check.

Men are saying it was her fault--

Female incompetence and all that.

She was still under probation.

You think they're trying to sweep it under the rug?

Suzanne had trouble fitting in with "the boys."

We had a meeting scheduled next week.

I'm guessing she was filing a harassment complaint.

Someone k*lled her before she could start naming names?

We got 33 female fire fighters.



Something like this breaks

It could blow out the department.

I'm getting calls already asking me to drop it.

I'm going to get those same calls.

You want to pass?

I won't hold it against you.

You don't know me very well.

Fire chief wants you to pass

The academy's basic physical requirements

Which shouldn't be difficult for you.

Study up on fire science

And review emergency procedure.

Just like that, she becomes a fire fighter?

I've got two weeks to train.

After that, I start undercover.

Sounds dangerous-- I thought the academy was three months.

She's going in as a probie.

They don't normally

Send them in to anything too risky.

Yeah, but what if they do?

Well, then, she'll call them out.

We're looking for a m*rder*r here.

We want to provoke someone to reveal themselves.

Ed and I can check with suzanne's family

And see if they know who was harassing her.

The fire department says they'll cooperate fully.

If you get a whiff of resistance

You hit me on the hip.

You are so cool with the "hit you on..."

The ghetto vernacular.

[ Williams laughing ]

Don't know about this one, man.

Oh, man, what you going to do?

Fall apart every time your girl steps up?

Oh..! Damn.

You sure you're black?

Come on, now.

How many puerto ricans do you know in the n.b.a.?

Thank you very much.

See, this must be weighted funny or something.

What I'm saying is she's got a lot going on

And a couple things just came up.

She don't need this kind of pressure right now.

Look, man, look. What you gonna do?

We got a job to do.

If somebody died fighting a fire

Think about how the girl's family feels.

[ Hoots ]

And the foul.

[ Laughing ]

Moreno: think they're jealous?

Because you're riding a fire truck

And they're knocking on doors? No.

Well, maybe if I'm lucky

They'll save me some paper work.

You know, my first year out of the academy

I walked a beat with the 1-4.

I come up on a 10-30-- a liquor store.

I put in a call.

Backup?

Never showed.

The guy came out sh**ting.

I took one in the leg.

Worse, a kid across the street took a b*llet too.

The men ever apologize?

They tried to make me an example of why a woman should be at home

Watching soap operas instead of out on the street with the boys.

Hmm.

So, essentially, what I'm saying to you, fire fighter munoz

Is watch your back, all right?

She used to get these headaches, migraines.

Doctor said it was 'cause of the stress.

She ever mention wanting to quit?

No.

Being a fire fighter was her dream.

Some girls play with dolls

She played with fire trucks

And then after they started school

She finally did it.

You must have been very proud of her.

She told them they could be anything they wanted to be.

Did she ever mention exactly what was going on, like names

Or anything like that?

Yeah, a little bit at first, but I asked her to stop.

I just couldn't take it anymore.

Are these her things?

Yeah.

Sometimes she would come home at night

And do a little computer work.

Do you mind if we take a look?

Go ahead.

Excuse me. I'm looking for captain wilton.

Something I can help you with?

Yeah.

I'm the new transfer.

He's in there.

[ Mutters ]: hope she's not a b*tch.

Is someone

Talking to me?

I said, "this hand's a b*tch."

[ Scattered snickers ]

Way to go, underwood.

Hmm.

Jersey academy, huh?

Third on the orals

Middle of the group on the physical.

I didn't know they were doing

Any more affirmative action testing.

Well, women get a few extra points

But only on the written test.

That's not really fair... Is it?

I heard some men are suing the department.

You took their job.

Maybe they're just mad they couldn't make it.

Well, everyone is treated equal in my house.

Isn't that right, lieutenant harding?

Probationary months, you work 16-hour shifts

Then 16-12 alternating, same as everyone else.

Sounds fair to me.

What about kids?

You got any?

No, sir.

Our department doesn't leave much time

For making a family. Men don't have kids?

Men have wives.

Well, maybe I should get one.

How about an assignment?

Tomorrow.

Lieutenant harding will show you.

You're dismissed.

Moreno: you won't believe these firemen, ed.

Ed: yeah, yeah, right.

Come here. I'll tell you about it.

[ Knocking ]

[ Knocking continues ]

You need something?

Uh, look

I tried to call first.

Yeah, well

The phone was off the hook.

We had some paperwork-- the whole divorce thing.

Yeah.

Well, is she around?

Eddie, who's there?

Your husband.

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry.

I had a few minutes.

I thought I'd stop by, ask what was happening

With the lawyers.

This early?

I didn't want to bother you at work again

And besides, I didn't think you'd be busy.

That's none of your business.

I wasn't asking.

I talked to a friend in legal aid.

She's drawing up the divorce papers.

If you need some money or anything...

I'll call you when they're ready.

Williams: those suzanne's papers?

Yeah. I ran the hard drive on her computer yesterday.

It turns out she was keeping notes on her being harassed.

September 3-- pinup in dining room.

October 15-- k.p. Again.

I don't know, ed.

Maybe she was just a little too sensitive.

Maybe a little

Too sexist.

Come on, man-- a couple of pinups, a few jokes.

You'll be broken up over that?

It's like racial stuff, man.

Oppressive mentality.

Adds up over time.

Yeah, like you've never ragged on a female officer.

Yo, there is a big difference between that

And letting someone die.

So you really think guys at her station k*lled her?

Yo, yo.

Check out these addresses.

The last one's circled.

Says, "next."

This is the building she died in.

You think she'd been here before?

Why else would she have the address on her computer?

The people who live here don't even pay rent.

It's a squatter's building.

I could see why.

You should have seen this place before.

They fixed it up a lot since then.

So I guess they'll be at your crib next, huh?

Very funny.

You got suzanne's picture?

Yeah.

Listen, you seen this woman before?

Hello!

Hola!

Hello!

Hey.

Son of a b*tch!

Hey, man, I know what you did!

Just put the knife down, okay? My home.

What are you doing in my home?!

Freeze! Police!

Put that pipe down now!

Now!

[ Pipe clattering ]

Face down on the couch.

Move it.

You okay, partner?

Yeah, I'm all right.

Get up.

I didn't know you were police.

I was protecting my home.

So you attack him?

Maybe he made that fire.

What fire?

The one here last month, man, where that lady died.

You think

Someone set that fire?

The fire department said it was the wiring

But I know that it wasn't.

Bootleg electricity.

You didn't make a mistake?

Just because we're squatters

They think we don't know how to build

But you see my son, man.

You think I'd build something

To hurt him, man?

Torres: look...

Maybe you can help us.

Did anybody try to evict you

Before the fire?

Like the owners, somebody, anybody?

The firemen.

They came by a bunch of times

Putting up papers

And sometimes they yell at us, man.

What firemen?

The same ones that help us put out the fire.

Williams: suzanne tesher was keeping a list

Of all the squatter buildings her station served notices to.

And they all burned?

All except the one she died in.

That one was put out

Before it destroyed the place.

We get any fire reports back?

Red caps classified it as a hazard-related fire.

Exposed construction materials, unsafe heaters.

So in other words, we're dealing with someone

Who knows how to make a fire look accidental.

Yep. Seems like there's a viper in suzanne's nest.

My guess is she found out who it is

So she got k*lled.

Has moreno i.d.'D any suspects yet?

Too early to tell, especially if

We're looking for a different motive.

All right, what about this insurance thing?

We have any leads there at all?

No private owners.

Building belongs to the city.

One of you has to talk to councilman garcia.

He works in low income housing.

We have to find out who benefits by getting the squatters out.

On it.

This arson thing-- you know it's just a theory.

Yeah. We'll keep working the harassment angle then.

I'll tell moreno to keep her cover.

Hey.

Those fire reports?

Yeah. Lieutenant tell you what we got?

Yeah. Series of arsons

Connected to suzanne's m*rder.

Doesn't help me i.d. A suspect.

Tell you, the climate's pretty chilly at the station.

She definitely was an outsider.

So I guess that means you're going back under, right?

Well, I got to do what I got to do.

Oh, come on, eddie.

You'd do the same thing.

Yeah.

Look, how about I get some takeout

We unplug the phones

And we go over these files

At my place?

I don't know.

I've got some things to do besides this case.

All right, all right, forget the files, hmm?

No, I'd like to, eddie, but...

I'm meeting luis.

Yeah, luis, sure.

I can see why that would be a priority.

No, it's just

I've been putting this off for weeks

And I want to take care

Of this already.

Yeah, well, you do your thing.

Eddie...

I'm sorry.

Are you sure it's okay to be meeting me like this?

Why wouldn't it be?

Well, I wouldn't want to cause

Any problems for you personally.

Here are the papers.

Sign them, have them notarized.

Sounds easy.

It was.

So how come you never took care of this earlier?

You got nerve, you know that, luis?

Look, all I'm asking

Is why you never filed for abandonment.

Oh, was I supposed to take

That little note you left me

And tell somebody I wasn't even worth saying good-bye to?

Look, it wasn't you, all right? It was me.

You're damn right it was you.

Look, I'm sorry.

I know how you feel.

No, luis, you can't even imagine.

God, you know how much

I thought about you?

And our baby?

Luis, I would have

Given anything if you came back to me.

Look, I know I hurt you, all right?

And I hate what I did.

I just wasn't ready for that kind of life

No matter how much I loved you.

Look, um...

Are you sure you want to do this?

You're crazy, you know that?

I just want a chance to get to know you again.

Think about it.

Yo veo se vaya.

Detective, uh...

Williams.

Me recuerdes.

Si, si. Claro.

Still working with those p.a.l. Kids?

Yeah, when I have a chance.

My son, though, he keeps me busy.

You got to give back, huh?

Family first.

So what can I do for you?

We have a situation with these squatter buildings.

You're heading the committee on low income housing?

We got a federal grant to rebuild.

God bless bill and hillary, huh?

So is that why you want the squatters out?

The problem's not the buildings, it's the people.

They got bootleg electricity, bad plumbing.

You've heard about these fires, right?

So you're blaming that on them?

It's not a question of blame.

These people aren't electricians.

With all that makeshift wiring

It's only a matter of time before something happens.

What about the building last week?

Where the fire fighter died?

Oh. Damn shame.

We've been trying to get

Those people out for years.

Contract to rebuild ends this week.

Do you have a name on the contractor?

A million projects going on.

Here. Call my office.

They'll check the files.

Gracias.

You looking for somebody?

Is your father around?

We got a booking appointment to take care of.

He's upstairs

In his office.

Look, uh, detective...

About the other morning...

Not a problem.

Don't even worry about it.

So, you two get all that paperwork done?

Why don't you ask her?

You know...

It must be tough

You know, seeing her now...

Knowing that you walked out.

Yeah.

A lot tougher than I thought it would be.

Stairs are over there.

Thank you.

Torres: so what do we got?

Well, I talked to the councilman.

Turns out that all the buildings that burned down

Were supposed to be rebuilt by the city.

Problem was they couldn't get the squatters out.

Let me guess-- this the contractor?

Yep. Name is ray savato.

Specializes in low income housing.

You all right?

I told you this guy luis is still in town, right?

I mean, I told you that.

Tienes problemas chico.

Everything is not a joke.

I'm trying to be serious here.

Well, I thought you said they were handling the divorce.

They are, but I mean...

This whole commotion

Is starting to get to me, man.

I don't know what to do.

Maybe you should talk to your girl.

Yeah, maybe.

So, this contractor--

How low income is that?

Try three million a building.

Excuse me, savato.

N.y.p.d. We'd like to ask you some questions.

Something the matter?

Well, there's been a few fires

At some city buildings your company's doing work on.

I'm on my way to another job.

How about we talk some other time?

How about we talk down at the station?

You got a warrant?

No, we don't. We just want to talk to you.

Some other time, all right?

Williams: yeah, we'll talk some other time.

Come on, let's go.

Hey, underwood...

Doesn't your wife mind?

Mind what?

You leaving her picture up like that.

You know the other girl?

She used to change in the bathroom.

Yeah? Well, maybe now it's your turn.

Munoz. Check your gear

Then harding's going to walk you through house duty.

The rest of you change the bottles on your mask.

Come on, hey, let's go!

House duty? Is he kidding me?

Tesher used to do it.

She the girl in the fire?



First person we lost.

That kind of accident's kind of hard to believe.

Why? You hear something else?

Well, at the academy, some people were talking.

They said maybe someone did something to her equipment.

You know, i, um...

I talked to some people in jersey

And no one remembers a munoz going through training.

I don't know why.

I guess that happens, you know.

People slip through.

Look...

You seem like a nice kid

So I'm going to tell you something.

The guys here...

Can be rough on certain people.

Don't take them too personally.

You talking about women?

Just be careful out there.

[ Alarm ringing ]

Suit up.

What about house duty?

Captain's rule. Everyone in.

Torres: nina?

Nina?

Hey, eddie.

I heard what happened.

You going to be okay?

Oh, I just took in too much smoke.

E.m.s. Said I'd be fine.

Well, I'm glad, 'cause you had me scared.

I'm okay. Thanks.

Um, there is something I needed to talk to you about.

Okay, sh**t.

I know you and luis are taking care of this divorce

And that's cool

But I just want to make sure

There's nothing you need to work out.

Work out?

What are you talking about?

You tell me.

Eddie, we're working through this divorce.

And he shows up at the apartment

At 7:00 in the morning.

I was with him ten years ago.

There's nothing going on.

Ten years ago you married him and had his baby!

Lower your voice.

Don't play me.

[ Sighing ]

Can you look me in the eyes

And tell me that it's all gone?

Can you?

Torres.

Moreno.

My office, now.

I just got off the phone with the fire inspectors.

Wilton never reported the incident

And he never turned in moreno's mask.

So where is it now?

I left it in my locker

When the e.m.s. Dropped me off.

Torres: you checked it before going in, right?

Of course, but it wasn't the tubes this time

And I didn't want to break cover.

Any idea who might have done this?

Captain wilton had access to the equipment

And he's the one that ordered me into the fire.

Yeah, but what doesn't make sense

Is why would he try the same thing twice?

This builder, savato, he's probably in on it.

We could bring him in with wilton.

But if we're wrong, we tip off the real bad guys.

Look, the contract on the building

That suzanne died in expires this week.

If savato can't get the squatters out

He'll lose everything.

You think he'd risk another fire?

He's looking at a million dollars on this contract.

If he can't fulfill it

Maybe the city won't give him another one.

Let's do a stake-out.

All right.

Williams, I want you to tag-team with torres.

I'm going to put a uni on savato.

Moreno, I want you to continue

The surveillance at the fire house

And see if wilton makes a move.

Thank you, williams.

I need to talk to you two.

This look like a talk show to you

Here in my precinct?

No.

Huh? I look like geraldo, oprah, sally jesse raphael?

Absolutely not.

Then I have a suggestion.

Next time you two want to have

A public debate, discussion, whatever you want to call it

You do it with them, all right? Not here.

Otherwise, somebody's going to be looking at a transfer.

Is that clear?

It won't be a problem.

Good. Torres?

Yeah.

Dismissed.

Moralez: since the fires, we organized our own security.

So I guess this is your little deputy, huh?

I see someone new outside, I ask questions.

I see someone inside, well, you know what I do.

Nos ayudan. Esta bien.

So how long have you guys been living here?

We came here to find work, from dominican republic.

Two weeks after, his mother got shot.

Hmm. Sorry to hear that.

I got a job to take care of ralphie. Cleaning.

I leave him all day with a lady I don't know.

They pay me three dollars an hour.

I give the lady half.

After a while, I say what good is this, man?

Aren't you a little worried

Something could happen to him around here?

You have kids?

Mm-hmm. Un hijo.

So where would you take him

If you didn't have nowhere to go?

Family, I guess.

Well, I make these people family.

I know what it looks like, but we made it a home.

So the other day

You said the night of the fire you heard somebody?

Upstairs. I show you where.

Come on.

Oh. Nina's not here, sergeant.

She's gone for the day.

Actually, I wanted to talk to you.

Um, why don't you have a seat?

Look, detective

This may be none of my business

But nina told me something about luis

And I wanted you to know about it.

It's probably none of my business, either.

Maybe not

But he's trying to talk her out of the divorce.

No disrespect, ms. Moreno

But I don't think it really matters who you like.

Nina is a big girl.

She's going to do what she wants to do.

All right. Let me ask you a question.

Who do you like, the knicks or the pacers?

Excuse me?

You heard me: the knicks or the pacers?

Come on, give me an answer.

Like you got to ask?

Okay. That bum, luis?

He's reggie miller.

He's running for the basket.

You, you're ewing.

Game's tied. Ten seconds left.

Are you going to block his shot

Or are you just going to stand there?

Hmm.

They're meeting tomorrow night

At natalie's at 8:00.

It would be nice

If you happened to be there.

Captain, what are you doing?

I'm taking your mask in to get it inspected.

I asked the lieutenant to do it yesterday

But I guess he was too busy baby-sitting.

Where are you taking it?

I'm taking it to the inspector general's office.

Well, maybe I should come with you.

I'm sorry, but I don't think that would be necessary.

Well, I'd like to tell him

Why I was sent into that fire in the first place.

Look, come here. Please.

Now, I had every right

To send you into that fire as a test.

Do you understand?

What about suzanne tesher?

Were you testing her?

I'm sorry about what happened to her

But she had to earn respect.

She was a probie. She needed more training.

I don't treat you or her

Any different than I treat my men.

Really? Then how come she ended up dead?

Underwood is in charge until harding returns

And I would appreciate it if you don't mention to anyone

The fact that I'm taking this mask in until I get back.

Now, you understand?

Yes, sir.

Good.

[ Tires screeching ]

My man, what's up, man?

Still hard for me to believe, you know

That families live like this, you know?

This is what they call home.

I want to catch the b*stard

That's trying to burn them out.

[ Cellular phone rings ]

Williams.

Well, when did he leave?

Hey, detectives!

My son, he saw somebody upstairs!

Yo, that was moreno.

Wilton left the fire station a half hour ago.

Take the back!

Anybody living in there?

I don't know, man.

[ Clunking ]

I hear something.

[ Crying out ]

Munoz, you're staying inside.

No, I'm going with you.

You're on house duty.

This is none of your business.

I think it is.

Yo, man, you okay?

Come on.

[ Siren blaring ]

Get everybody out the building.

Ed! He might have taken the roof!

J.c., I'm in pursuit!

Freeze!

Yo, yo, his wife!

Go! Go!

Freeze!

Help me out here.

Get her some oxygen!

J.c., You all right?

Where's eddie?

He's around the back in pursuit. Let's go.

Moreno: harding died in the ambulance.

That's too bad.

I was hoping he'd stay alive long enough

To do time for them arsons.

That's pretty harsh, j.c.

A fire lieutenant burning out homeless people?

I'm not shedding tears for that fool.

What do we got tying suzanne tesher's m*rder to harding?

He was second in command at the station.

He had access to all the equipment.

He sabotaged the a.m.s.

When he found out that she was onto him.

He knew the other men

Would think it was her fault.

They hated having her there anyway.

But was it really that bad?

Are you kidding me?

Geez, I don't know.

The question is

Why would the lieutenant be burning out squatters?

Money.

You still think the contractor was involved?

He needed the buildings cleared out

So he could get the money to rebuild.

Probably hired harding to set the fires.

Let's connect them, man.

We appreciate you coming down, captain.

Torres: lieutenant.

This is detective williams, detective torres.

Captain wilton, he's agreed to cooperate.

Captain wilton, do you know if lieutenant harding

Knew the contractor savato?

They served together on a department committee.

Community service.

Did you ever see them together?

They lunched together, two or three times a month.

Gentlemen, pick him up.

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you very much for your help.

So, what happens now?

Investigation on the arsons, conspiracy

Homicide charges for suzanne's death.

And they know for sure

That harding sabotaged the equipment?

He was counting on you to send us into those fires.

Part of the training.

Men and women.

Not during probation.

When I started out 25 years ago

I was the only black in the station.

I had to take a lot of crap, just like suzanne.

So instead of helping her out

You made it that much harder.

I was only trying to help her earn some respect.

Yeah. You keep telling yourself that.

Williams: how long had harding worked for you?

I didn't hire anyone.

You got that guy

To set the fire for free?

I don't know what you're talking about-- fires.

January 14, 1994...

Squatter burned.

December 8...

A fire fighter dies.

I didn't have anything to do with this.

According to these directions

You just open cap and squirt.

You can't do this.

What, are you crazy?

So, you got a blanket.

It ain't much, but it's all you got.

You're nuts.

Someone comes in...

And he drops something hot.

You can't do this.

I know you can't.

Oh, yeah?

Try us.

All right, all right.

I been giving garcia kickbacks on my city contracts.

Councilman garcia?

Half of my building fees.

Ah, detective

Straighten out that situation

With the squatters?

I'm afraid so.

Call my lawyer on the car phone.

So, all this talk about serving the community, huh?

How could you do this to people?

For money?

Getting these people into new buildings

Is not about money.

It's vision, in their best interests.

So you burn them out, right?

Accidents happen.

And any contributions from builders

They're on the books.

That's not what savato says.

Is this really necessary?

You bet your a*s it is.

I'm meeting someone, eddie.

Yeah, I know what you're doing.

Look, just give me a minute.

Okay?

Te eres bella.

Gracias.

Did you sign the papers?

Yeah.

I'll take care of the notary before I leave.

Give me something.

Para recordarme de ti.

It wasn't that long ago, was it?

What's that?

When you were teaching me how to lead.

Yeah, you should have listened better.

You know, I thought about it, luis--

All the dreams we had, being together.

We can dream again.

No, we can't go back, luis...

Even if I wanted to.

You know that.

Good-bye, nina.

Good-bye, luis.

Give me your wallet.

Take it easy.

I'm going to give you what you want

All right?

Here. Just don't sh**t.

Please, all right? Just don't sh**t.
