You said you was gonna drive home, man.

It's walleyes, Norm.

pounders,
but you got to head upstream

past the tourists to find them.

Count me in, Jimmy. Need a ride?

No, it's a -minute walk.
I could use the cardio.

Yeah, couldn't we all. See you around.

[METAL CLANKING]

[TENSE MUSIC]



Who's there?

- [g*nshots]
- [GRUNTS]



Tasting menu, huh?
It's not really my speed.

All it means is,
you put yourself in Chef Romero's hands.

What about a steak?

Me and my accountant

can really get behind the steak.

I thought you were
a little more worldly.

- Really?
- I'm a little disappointed.

Wait, how disappointed?

Mm.

Practically inconsolable.

[PHONES RINGING]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]



Yeah.

I understand.

We are all less safe
when a detective is m*rder*d.

The bureau will make this
a priority, Chief.

Absolutely, absolutely.

As soon as I know anything...

I will let you know.



Detective James Gerrard
worked major crimes

out of the - in Flushing.

He was popped twice walking
home after leaving a cop bar.

His personal effects were not touched,

so it looks like a hit
and not a robbery.

So are we assisting?

No, we're taking the lead on this one.

NYPD reached out because
of the anti-police climate.

They want to make sure
that the investigation

isn't obstructed
by lack of public cooperation.

We're gonna make sure that it's not.

The first question is
why was Gerrard targeted?

Was it an altercation,
a botched robbery, a vendetta?

Tiff and Scola are on the scene.
We'll see what they dig up.

Gerrard's wife is a night nurse

finishing her shift
at Brixton Urgent Care.

NYPD is just making
the notification now.

You guys want to see if you can
grab a few minutes with her?

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

All right, people. Let's hit it hard.

Hey, what's the temperature at PP?

Oh, cops are already on edge.

That means we bring NYPD into the loop

early and often.

Consults, regular updates.

Yeah, copy that.

And stay on top of media outreach.

The city needs to know

that a m*rder*d detective
is an FBI priority.

Will do.

Should we update the NYPD rep?

- Mm-hmm.
- Hey.

Detective Walsh, sorry about Gerrard.

Tough day for the boys in blue.

So we don't know much, huh?

There's not much yet,
but we'll keep you updated.

- Appreciate it.
- Yeah.



Anything on canvass?

Jogger heard the sh*t,
but we held off on questioning

'cause they said
you guys are stepping in.

- We'll be assisting, yeah.
- Great.

We'll cr*ck it a lot quicker now.

There she is.

Hey, can you tell us what happened?

So I'm doing my circuit,
turn the corner, hear sh*ts,

and see this guy
on a red bike pedaling off.

Did you see the guy on the
red bike actually fire the sh*ts?

No, but there was no one else
on the street.

Anything else about the biker?

Big, short, Black, white?

I couldn't say.
It was dark, happened fast.

All right, we appreciate
you sticking around.

Yeah, sure.

Wow, New York's finest really knows

how to roll out the welcome mat.

Cops been under siege these days, Scola.

I mean, with defund the police

and every traffic stop posted online,

they got their reasons to close ranks.

Yeah. Not with us.

Let's just work the case.

Hopefully Maggie and OA
have gotten something

from Gerrard's wife.

Jimmy was years from his .

We were gonna move to Tampa.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Gerrard.

Did your husband
have any issues with anyone?

No, Jimmy got along with everyone.

Any problems at work?

Nothing I heard about.
Jimmy was a great cop.

What about financial problems?

No, nothing like that.

Okay, we're gonna need access
to his squad car,

check and see if the dash cam
saw anybody casing him.

Do you know where it was parked?

The repairs shop's got it.

Jimmy said something about
a bird flew into

his windshield a few days ago,
cracked it.

- This happened a few days ago?
- Yeah.

Ma'am, we understand
how difficult all of this is,

but sometimes our loved ones
do keep things from us,

and I'm not saying that
that's true about Jimmy,

but is there any chance that
his behavior changed recently?

Any unexplained absences?

Maybe he met up with somebody
that you've never seen before?

What are you implying?

Ah, we are just trying to see

if Jimmy's movements can tell us...

His movements?

years we were married.

He was a good man, and I'm not
gonna let you dirty his name.

Mrs. Gerrard, that's not
what we're trying to do here.

Please just leave.



All right, black Dodge Charger

- with a cracked windshield.
- Right here.

Look to you like a bird did this?

I mean, if the bird is packing.

The question is why Gerrard
would lie about it.

Lieutenant, we saw someone
sh*t at Gerrard's car two days ago,

shattered his windshield.
You know anything about that?

First I've heard of it.

You... you surprised that he
kept you out of the loop?

Jimmy was a big boy.

He wouldn't have wanted
to trouble the unit

with his own stuff.

- So he was a good cop.
- One of the best.

Known him forever.
His uncle Joe was my CO.

Any cases you can think of

where his collars
were carrying a grudge?

All of them 'cause he did his job,

- but I'll send over his files.
- Appreciate that.

Knows the guy forever,
but Gerrard doesn't tell him

that someone sh*t up his car.
That sound right to you?

Yeah, we'll see.

Yeah, well, you won't hear me
complain about Fed again.

[CHUCKLES] Cop life.

In my squad, I used to sit
beside this old heater, man.

That thing whistled all winter long,
and it drove me crazy.

So let me ask you, why do you
sound so nostalgic about it?

You're always nostalgic
about where you started.

I'm not.

That's 'cause you sold your
soul to work on Wall Street.

True.

Door's that way, folks.

Is there a problem, Detective?

A problem is when feds start
asking a cop widow

if her just-m*rder*d husband was dirty.

Well, I know the agents
that you're talking about,

and there's no way that...

Look, it's all good, all right?

Got what we came for.



Seriously?

All right, so the video
from the pawn shop

opposite Sunny's Bar is clean,

and we have not been able
to run down any footage

from the street where Gerrard was sh*t,

but here is something
that might raise a flag.

Our victim bypassed the NYPD's
contracted auto repair joint

and opted for his own shop.

So he came
out of pocket for that repair?

That's not a first choice
on a cop salary.

Right.

Sounds like he's hiding something.

Well, yeah, we need more information.

Yeah, we get something
from Gerrard's dash cam?

The sh**ting wasn't captured,
but I found something else

the same day that happened.

- Things heat up fast.
- Yeah.



Okay, we get a visual of
the guy he's arguing with?

Nope, guy never steps into frame.

So theory is Gerrard's k*ller

accosted him, sh*t at his windshield,

and k*lled him two nights later?

If the incidents are related, yes.

Let's vet his case files.
Prioritize recent collars.

Focus on threats.

Anything that got physical, yeah?

We're gonna have to multitask.

Another detective was just
ambushed and sh*t in Astoria.

Go. Get down to the scene.

We need to figure out
if these sh**t are related.



Hey.

Detective Aaron Dane rushed
to Eastern Ridge Hospital.

No word on his condition.

- Where's he out of?
- - , major crimes.

It's the same precinct, the same unit.

Yeah. Any witnesses?

Boulevard's a few blocks away.

So it's a pretty quiet street,
but dog walker saw something.

- Hey, what can you tell us?
- I'm across the street.

Benji's doing his thing.

Guy comes strolling out
of the bodega with a coffee.

Dude in a ski mask
pulls up on a red bike, blammo.

So it was a guy?

White guy.
I saw his hand holding the g*n.

- And he only fired one sh*t?
- Yeah.

Dude went down like a sack of potatoes.

- Biker never stopped.
- Thanks.

Sounds like our k*ller's
targeting detectives from the - .

Yeah, if that's the case...

Might be more coming down the pike.

You don't need a plan
to target uniforms,

but our perp's ambushing
plainclothes detectives

from the same precinct
away from their squad.

So assume a connection.

Unless ballistics says different.

Meantime, we are dealing
with a serial sh**t,

so we are waiting on nothing.
Kelly, what did ERT dig up?

A red bike found in a dumpster

two blocks from the Dane sh**ting.

Seat puts the rider at ' " or so.

Okay, Ian, throw up the dash cam video

of the Gerrard altercation again.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, there it is. Okay, roll it.

Yeah, freeze it there.
Can you estimate...

The guy's height
off of Gerrard's eyeline?

- Sure can.
- Beautiful.

Approximately ' ".

So the guy Gerrard was beefing with

is the same height
as the guy who sh*t Dane.

Meaning it could be the same sh**t.

Let's narrow our focus to cases
Dane worked with Gerrard.

We're looking for a short guy

with an axe to grind
with both detectives.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[LAUGHS]

- Detective.
- Special Agent Bell.

This is Special Agent Zidan.
You doing okay?

Yeah. Through and through.

St. Michael must've been looking down.

Uh, we have some questions
for Detective Dane.

Can you guys give us a minute?

Hey, you know, Yancey, he's my guy.

He can stay.

Ah, can you tell us about the sh**t?

Short, white guy, red bike, ski mask.

s I got to peg it.

Okay. Did he say anything to you?

Yeah, he said,
"Die, you son of a bitch."

Anyone you know have beef
with both you and Gerrard?

Try the whole damn city
'cause the power brokers

don't have the guts to back us up.

If you need to reach me.

Rest up.

All right, March , Gerrard and Dane

collared the head
of the Sixth Street Posse,

- Evander Fields.
- No, no.

sh*t caller's not gonna wait
five years to retaliate.

He'd do it right away
to make a statement, right?

They broke up a $ -million
counterfeit ring in August.

Ah, unlikely.

Forgers deal in paper because they don't

want to get their hands dirty.
Come on, people.

We're looking for fresh wounds
that could trigger someone.

- Violent priors.
- Okay, okay.

I think I might have something.

Rafael Alvarez, ' ".
as*ault convictions.

Was arrested for fleeing
a g*n buy-and-bust last summer.

b*at it on a technicality,

but he said the cops stole his money.

I read about that case.

grand at the crime scene
went missing.

Okay, wait. Throw him up.

This guy, Rafael Alvarez
claims Gerrard and Dane

stole his money?

Were they ever charged?

No, but another detective was.

- Guy named Rudinsky.
- Where is he now?

Looks like he's doing a stretch upstate

until he was k*lled in the
prison yard three weeks ago.

Okay, so somebody
is k*lling off the guys

that stole Rafael's money.

Looks like we're tracking down
this Rafael Alvarez.

I don't have
a last known address, Jubal.

- There's nothing on file.
- Try his cell phone.

It's not pinging. It must be off.

But get this,

historical GPS has him near the bar

Gerrard was sh*t
the night of the m*rder.

Well, this just keeps
getting better and better.

All right, if we can't
track down him the modern way,

let's use the old-fashioned way.

Find somebody that knows this guy.

File says a patrol officer

named Ruiz was also at
the scene of the Alvarez bust.

She's the one
who actually made the collar.

Okay.

Hey, Tiffany, it's Jubal.

I need you to track down
an NYPD patrol officer named...

- Michelle Ruiz.
- Michelle Ruiz.

Find out what she knows about
a guy named Rafael Alvarez.

Elise will fill you in.



Yeah, I remember Alvarez.

You know anything about
this missing money business?

No, I mean, there was money supposedly

in the apartment,
but I never went inside.

Lucky you.

Three detectives who did
haven't been doing so well.

Yeah, I know all about that.

- Gotta be a connection, right?
- Don't know.

Like I said, I never
went inside the apartment.

- But you made the arrest.
- Yeah.

By the time I got to the scene,
Alvarez had taken off.

When he figured out
he was selling g*ns to cops,

he ran like hell.

Tracked him down minutes later

over at his grandmother's place
up in Washington Heights.

You think you can dig up
that address for us?

[CHUCKLES]

Ground floor apartment,
East th Street.

Drives a red Camaro too.

Across the street from Garvey Park.

Wow, is your memory always this good?

Well, when the perp gives me something

to remember him by, it is.

Two surgeries and five screws.

That's a hell of a collar.

Yeah, well, tell it to the brass.

I'm up for my shield again this year,

fourth year running.

Hang in there.
It took me four years too.

- You were a cop?
- Yeah.

- Jubal.
- Thanks.

We got a lead on Alvarez.

It's definitely his car.



Old-school alarm means old school sound.

[CAR ALARM BLARING]

Mr. Alvarez, FBI.

We have some questions to ask you.



Oh!

[GROANING]

- Ow, what'd I do?
- We'll tell you all about it.

I had nothing to do
with no cop sh**t.

Okay, so why did you throw a bat at us

and take off running?

My baby mama has been telling lies

about a fight we didn't have.

It's a parole violation,
so I got scared.

Or you had bad blood
with those cops, right?

Last night you were at the bar before

one of them got sh*t.
You were stalking them.

- I wasn't stalking nobody.
- So why were you at the bar?

I was just there
to tell Dane and Gerrard

that the money they stole wasn't mine.

It's the DeMarco brothers',

and we're all dead
unless they cough it up.

Yeah, okay, there's no way
we're buying that.

They say they want
their money or they'll do me

like that cop Rudinsky
they smoked in prison.

So you exchange words with
either of these cops last night?

No, I got tired of waiting,
and I took off, okay?

No, not okay.

I want you to account for every minute

when you left that bar
and we picked you up.

[CHUCKLES]

Every minute.

[TENSE MUSIC]



If he's telling the truth...

Then we are looking at
some serious police corruption.

I'll brief the mayor,

let him know what might
be coming down the pike.

Are you sure you want
to send up a flare right now?

Meaning?

We don't have any evidence,
and our one and only witness

is a career criminal.

I mean, we get in front of this

and we don't have proof,
we could get b*rned.

Right, but if we do find proof

and we say nothing,
he'll think we sandbagged him.

Hey, pull up security footage
from the store

opposite the bar
Gerrard was at last night.

This time we're looking
for Alvarez's red Camaro.

No, rewind.

Yeah, there it is.

- When does he drive off?
- : .

An hour before Gerrard was sh*t.

Unlikely Alvarez doubled back.

I mean, sitting on a place
to whack someone, you stay put.

Yeah, yeah, pull up nearby traffic cams.

Let's see if we can figure out
where he went.

On that.

Okay.

Here's a Camaro heading to the BQE

a few blocks away at : .

Heading away from the crime scene.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Guy on a red bike.

Industrial part of town
that time of night.

Is there enough for facial rec?

Profile sh*t, but might be enough.

Yeah, Ray Rudinsky, .

- Son...
- Of Pat Rudinsky.

The detective
that was m*rder*d in prison.

- So the guy sh**ting cops...
- Is the son of a cop.

I want his last known address
and SWAT on standby!

Let's go, people!



- [SCREAMING]
- FBI! We have a warrant!

FBI! Show me your hands!

Clear immediate!

- Where's your son?
- I-I-I don't know.

- Where is your son?
- I don't know!

- Where is he?
- I don't know.

What do you want with my son?

He's a suspect in two police sh**t.

No, it's impossible.

When's the last time you saw him?

And we know that he
called you two days ago

and that you transferred money
into his account

- the day before the sh**ting.
- I did not.

Ms. Rudinsky, we understand

that you want to protect your son,

okay, but letting
every law enforcement agent

in the city hunt him down
is not the way to do it.



Ray hasn't been home since
his dad's funeral last week.

What did he say to you
when he called you?

He was in trouble and needed help.

And when your kid says that,
you don't ask any questions.

Really?

Sounds like a very good time
to ask questions.

- Did he say where he was?
- No.

- He and his dad were close?
- Nobody closer.

Ray's been a wreck
since his father's death.

And then when no cops showed
up at Pat's funeral, Ray was furious.

He said everything was the NYPD's fault.

Okay. Why did he say that?

Ma'am?

Because Pat told him the truth.

The truth about what?

That damn g*n bust.

Gerrard and Dane told Pat
that they wanted to split

all the money that was sitting there,

grand, but Pat was clean.

He wanted nothing to do with it.

He pled guilty to theft.

Yeah, because they pressured him.

They said cops have
to stick together, you know?

So they made him take $ ,
to dirty him up,

and then... and then IAB
starts looking into Pat.

Runs his financials, so he cut a deal

to avoid ratting out his fellow cops.

You know, blue wall, all that crap?

Like he was ever one of them
with a name like Rudinsky.

I still feel dirty about taking money

from those lousy cops, but we needed it.

I'm sorry, what?

Gerrard and Dane gave you money?

Every week.

Because Pat ate the charge,

so they said that they
would take care of us.

Why did your husband suddenly
decide to tell Ray all of this?

Pat was having a hard time
on the inside,

and he was... he was afraid,

you know, if he was k*lled

that his son would think
that he was a dirty cop.

Okay, where's Ray? We need to know now!

You got it all wrong.
My son would never hurt anyone.

- Mrs. Rudinsky...
- My husband is dead,

and now you want to take
my son away from me too?

I don't know where he is.




Okay. Thank you.

We have a BOLO out on Ray.

We're up on his cell,
but his phone's off

- and his social media's dark.
- Son of a cop.

Is that him?

Ray!



Hey, stop!

Oh, oh! Hey!

Hey!

Where you at, Ray?

He's gone.

I'll call it in.

Damn it.

Hey, so after Ray slipped
our containment,

we were able to get footage of him

entering Ditmars subway station.

So he could be in any
of the five boroughs by now.

Just heard from the AUSA.
Jan Rudinsky lawyered up.

Okay, it doesn't mean she's
going to stop helping her kid.

Where are we on the mom's accounts?

I'm seeing ATM hits in
Riverdale over the last few days.

Convenience store, fast food joints.

Okay, Riverdale, what's in Riverdale?

There was a photo in Ray's room of him

and his father outside
of a red brick house.

Right, run a title search
for any property

under the Rudinsky's name in that area.

Nothing.

Try Jan Rudinsky's maiden name.

Roger that. Jan Borkowski.

Got a hit.

Cottage on Cambridge
registered to a Lena Borkowski.

Looks like Lena d*ed earlier this year

and left the place
that her daughter, Jan.

Title still hasn't changed hands.

All right, great, go.
Elise'll send you the address.

[TENSE MUSIC]

- Got a second?
- Yeah, sure.

Allegations of police corruption,

cop's kid k*lling cops.

Means we've got some clarity now, right?

- Agreed.
- So NYPD should take the con.

It's a department case top to bottom.

We know what we know

because my agents
have been busting their humps.

That makes it an FBI case,

even without the police corruption,

which triggers our jurisdiction.

This something
maybe to run up the flagpole?

In this case, I am the flagpole.

He doesn't look happy.

Yeah, they want to take over the case,

control the narrative.

I told him we're holding the line.

Good.

My phone is burning up
with press inquiries.

It's way more than usual.

- Okay, you want some help?
- No, I'm good.

You stay on top of things here.



FBI.

Upstairs is clear.

All right, downstairs is clear too.

Tiff.

He hasn't been here in a while.

It's a list with Gerard
and Dane's addresses on it.

Another name on here too.

Michelle Ruiz,
b*at cop from the Alvarez case.

Where are we?

Yeah, just got off the phone with Ruiz.

She finished her shift
and is heading home.

Tiff and Schola
are on their way to her place.

Maggie and OA are circling back
to Dane at the hospital.

I need updates, people. What's going on?

We've got ground surveillance

and air supports up looking for Ray.

We also have traces
on his phone and his mom's.

We got teams stationed at the cottage

and outside the Rudinsky residence.

He's running out of options.
He's gonna be desperate.

Yeah, that's what worries me.

Three cops testified
at Rudinsky's trial.

One's dead, one's sh*t,

and the other
is on the k*ller's hit list.

Let's find this kid.

If it's even half a lead, chase it.



Wait.

[GASPING]

Oh, my gosh. Hey, you all right?

Hey. Hang in there, okay?

I'm gonna put pressure on it. Scola!

Gonna get you some help. Hold on.

Just hang in there, okay?



All right, all right. Take it easy.

FBI! Drop your w*apon!

- I'll sh**t her.
- Drop it now!

I'll k*ll her! I'll k*ll them both.

I'll do it. I'll do it.

Okay, all right.

There's no need for that.

I'm leaving, okay?

Easy.



Yeah, we got an officer down
with a g*nsh*t wound.

Send an ambulance ASAP
to Quentin Street.

Officer and agent
have been taken hostage.

Talk to me. Where we at?

He is not budging.

He's drawn the shades.
sn*pers can't get a clear sh*t.

We need to open a line of communication.

Yeah, I've been trying, Jubal.

Yeah, well, keep trying.

[TENSE MUSIC]



Hey, Ray, Special Agent Bell again.

There's a way out of this,
but only if you speak with me.

I'm gonna keep calling,
so please answer your phone.

I wanna know what you want.

She needs medical attention.
She's gonna bleed to death.

Good. She framed my dad.

She can suffer
the way he did before she dies.

Come on, man.

You got the math on this all wrong.

Oh, yeah?

Well, maybe I should just sh**t her now.

Hey, okay, Ray.

But think, all right?

You're a detective's kid.

This woman is a b*at cop.

She wasn't in that room,

didn't have access to that money.

There's no way she could have
been a part of a plan

to frame your father.

I don't care.

Yes, you do.

I know you want justice for your father,

and I get that...

But you're not gonna get it
by k*lling this woman.



Turn on your phone, Ray.

Look, I can't get you anything,
but they can.

How long has it been since you've eaten?

They can help with that.

[PHONE RINGING]

Ray?

- I just want food, okay?
- We can definitely do that.

Just give us minutes,
and we'll get you some pizza.

What else do you need

so that we can end this right now

without anyone else getting hurt?

Dane.

- You took Dane out.
- Don't lie to me.

I have my dad's old scanner.
I know he's still alive.

He's seriously wounded, Ray,

and even if he weren't,

you know we can't bring him here.

Yes, you can!

- You have minutes!
- Ray.

minutes or I'm k*lling them both.

You hear me?

Ray.

I don't know if I can
talk him off the ledge.

Well, if we can't, we stall him out

until we get a clean sh*t.



Ray, if you end this now,
I give you my word,

I won't rest until Detective Dane

is brought to justice.

I have his justice right here.



He's tuning us out.

Hey, kid's pretty bunkered down.

The occasional peep
from behind the shades,

but not enough
to give our sn*pers an opening.

Yeah.

Well, we got ten minutes until
Ray starts sh**ting hostages,

assuming Ruiz
hasn't already bled to death.

We're gonna have to breach.

I'm not liking our odds here, Jubal.

Yeah, me neither, but we
may not have another choice.

[SIREN BLARING]

What the hell?

Come on. Get rid of these idiots.

- Guys, we got this, okay?
- Yeah, the hell you do.

You're obstructing a federal
investigation, gentlemen.

Yeah? 'Cause we're not leaving.

Hey, wise up!

If this kid sees you,

what do you think
his demand is going to be?

Are you ready
to give yourself up, Detective?

No?

Then he'll start sh**ting,

and the first targets

he'll take aim at are in that house.

So please get the hell
out of his line of sight.

Or don't, and you can explain
to the commission

you're hauled in front of
how you heroes showed up

and got both our hostages k*lled.

The second you screw this up,
we're stepping in.

Let's go.



Seven minutes.

Dane's not coming 'cause nobody cares.

Just like nobody cared about my dad.

You have a right to be upset.

What'd you say?

What I did to your dad,

what we all did, there was no excuse.

Hey, hey, take it easy, okay?
You lost a lot of blood.

You stop talking. You.

You... you said that... that I have
a right to be upset.

- Why?
- Because I lied.

I testified that your dad
got to the crime scene

before Gerrard and Dane,
but he had gotten there after.

Why?

Why would you say that?

When your dad was arrested,
Gerrard and Dane told me

that he was a dirty cop
who had stolen all that cash.

They said that if I didn't back them,

your dad was gonna to take us all down.

It was the only thing that I could do.

The only thing you could do?

My dad could have cut a deal.

He could have stayed out of prison.

He'd still be alive.

Look, you wanted the truth, right?

Now you've got it.

Now Dane can be prosecuted,
and he will be,

so let's just end this, okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, because... because she
finally told the truth, right?

And the truth is that... that all
cops are dirty stinking liars!

All of them!

And my dad...

He'd still be alive
if it weren't for you.

He'd be here.



FBI! Show me your hands!

- Federal agents!
- Go! Go!

Get the hell off her!

[g*nsh*t]



I'm good.

She... she needs to get
to a hospital right now.

I'm on it.

EMTs, we need you in here right away.



- Wheels up.
- You're all set.

There you go.

[SIREN WAILING]

Good work, Tiff.

Yeah, well, job's not done yet.

I have to go follow up with Ruiz.

You want me to come with you?

Thanks, but I got this one.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

- Hey, heard you wanna see me?
- Yeah.

Mayor's office wants
to huddle up tonight

about the cop sh**t.

DA, FOP, police brass.

I'm snowed in,

so I'll need you to fly the flag.

Never hurts to get face time
with the big boys.

Yeah, I'm happy to do it,
but let's not kid ourselves

about what's really going on here.

We elbowed the NYPD out of the way,

made some enemies,
and now I get to take the heat.



- Hey.
- Oh.

- Um, these are for you.
- Thank you.

How you doing?

I'm okay. New York strong, right?

[CHUCKLES]

Look...

We have to talk about what you said

to Rudinsky's kid.

You gotta come forward.

It's over.

There's nothing I can do about this now.

But you know the truth.
You know Dane's dirty.

I come forward, go after Dane,

I'll blow my career. Guy's a legend.

He has friends and family
all over the department.

- Two cops are dead.
- I get that.

I do, but I'm good.
I'm gonna keep my mouth shut.

So if you're really
that desperate about setting

the record straight
and letting the world know

what really happened, then go ahead.

File a case.

One of what she's having.

Hey, how we doing?

Okay, all things considered.

You know, you were right
about Gerrard and Dane.

Maybe. Thank you.

Nah, no maybes about it.

I did some digging.

Gerrard and Dane both opened up accounts

under assumed names
after the Alvarez bust.

Each deposited grand

and then bled it dry
paying off Rudinsky's widow.

IAB didn't find this?

Nope.

It's hard to find something
you're not looking for.



Are you gonna come forward?

To make this right,
I'd have to ruin Ruiz's career.

I mean, she'd have to testify,

go up against the blue wall and...

But I don't have a choice.
I have to do it.



Stay tuned for scenes
from our next episode.
