- Ethan Holt.

We have a couple of follow up
questions, me and my partner.

- Detective Yolanda Rodriguez.

We just want to clear
a couple things up

about Detective [mumbles].

- Um, listen, I understand that
he meant a lot to you guys,

I do, but I don't know
what more I can add.

- My apologies, I'm replaying
our conversation that we had



and you said that you
caught the Blue line before?

Well, according to my
records, the Blue line

actually came a
half an hour later.

- Well, then I just
forgot, I guess.

I mean, it was weeks ago.

- Sure, yeah.

Um, have you see this man?

- No, I have not.

- [Yolanda] How
about this woman?

- No, who're they?

- Just people of
interest in the case.

- Okay, well, I'm sorry
I couldn't be more help.

- No problem, thank
you for your time.

Have a good day.



- Thank you, officers.

- You see that pause?

- Uh hmm.

- How long you think--

- Not long at all.

[suspenseful music]

[heavy gasping]

[suspenseful music]

- Hey.

That's my front door.

Okay, I'm calling the cops.

- No.

They're looking for me.

- Darius?

Christ, Darius, what happened?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, Darius.

Shit, shit, shit,
shit, shit, shit.

Fuck, shit, shit, shit.

Oh my god, fuck.

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on, let's go, okay?

Come on, I got you.

[groaning]

Hey, Darius, you're
okay, you're all right.

Hey.

- Kate.

- Yeah, it's me.

How ya feeling?

Let me check your stitches.

Careful, careful,
don't hurt now.

[dramatic orchestra music]

[background noise
drowns out other sounds]

[groaning]

- Thank you.

- You lost a lot.

- What?

Baby, somebody [mumbles].

- That's a load of crap.

Been camped out
here for three days.

I'm pretty sure you
can tell me why.

[groaning]

Hey, hey, you can't move.

You can't help Jimmy.

[dramatic orchestra music]

- What happened?

What happened?

- I get all the shot
up cops in my unit

who make it through
Afghanistan and Iraq.

Some good for nothing
fucker [mumbles].

[orchestra music]

Darius.

[dramatic orchestra music]

- Yeah, here we go.

[suspenseful music]

- [Man] Good call.

- [Yolanda] So predictable.

[suspenseful music]

10 bucks he comes
out that side door.

[suspenseful music]

- There she is [mumbles].

- I didn't sign up for
this, I didn't want this.

- No, no, no.

I need your help.

Please help with
protection, oh please.

- Okay, no need to guess there.

- [Man] Hmm.

[suspenseful music]

- [Yolanda] So.

- [Man] Uh hmm.

- You know what.

Yo, Ethan.

Care to change your story?

Uh huh, hop in.

- [Man] Come on.

[sighing]

[ambient music]

- Good evening, sleeping beauty.

- Hey.

- You want some water?

- Yeah.

No.

[orchestra music]

[coughing]

- You're good?

As far as I can tell, the
bleeding's stopped but, you--

- There's a better perspective.

- It goes just.

[background noise
drowns out other sounds]

Exactly like the IED.

Only like a true wire and
still come out on top.

- Write me off.

- We didn't have time
to go into safety.

- How is she?

- She's fine, at
the state hospital.

- The hell happened?

- The treatment stopped
and the money stopped.

She wasn't even my case.

To the state.

We left.

- Shit.

[orchestra music]

- I'll see you in two hours.

- [Yolanda] Looks like someone

would like to
change their story.

- Why are we here?

- Because you're gonna tell
us what really happened?

[suspenseful music]

- Other than the bus
schedule being wrong,

I just completely forgot
about, everything's the same,

that's the truth.

- Bullshit.

- Nah, I swear it is.

I didn't know what was
about to happen that night.

Look, that woman approached
me and said if I didn't say

what she told me to say, then--

- Your buddy?

- Yeah.

Look, I didn't he was a cop.

I had no idea what was gonna
go down that night, alright.

I didn't want this, I
didn't ask for this.

[chuckling]

I'm serious.

Look, this is what we agreed to.

Okay, it's not.

Look, y'all gotta help me.

- You'll have to testify.

- No.

- You'll have to.

- Nope, no way.

They'd kill me.

- You're so predictability.

Can you guess what
I'm gonna say?

We will protect you.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- You'll protect me.

Hmm [coughs], I
know why we're here.

And not down in
some police station.

Y'all don't trust
everyone down there huh.

Dirty cops, something
like that, am I right?

- No.

That's not it all, actually.

- We just [mumbles].

- Really?

- Yeah.

How long do you think it
will take your friends

to figure out that you're in
cooperation with the cops?

- We're the only people
that can help you.

[clapping]

- Ethan.

- Okay, alright, I'll do it.

But you all gotta hide me.

I'm serious.

- [Yolanda] Start talking.

[dramatic orchestra music]

- [Man] You okay?

- They're coming after me.

Nobody gonna do a
kid with cancer.

We need their asses alive.

- Let me just think about it.

- We both can.

- I think about
how it went down.

- How you mean?

- How it happened
and everything.

- Right.

They was all dead
when we showed up.

- [Mumbles] it was just
us two, you can be honest.

[pills rattling]

- Right.

Live together, together, right.

- Man, what are you gonna do?

- Shh.

[suspenseful music]

I don't know what you
was talking about.

But everybody was
dead when we showed up

just like I been saying.

Piece of fucking shit.

After all I've sacrificed
for you, you do this to me?

Stupid motherfucker, what
the fuck were you thinking?

What the fuck were you thinking?

- I think about Chris, man.

[ambient music]

I had to think
about my daughter.

[background noise
drowns out other sounds]

- Fuck you, you're
already dead to me.

Get the fuck out of this car.

I'm gonna let you live.

Get out!

[ambient music]

God fucking dammit.

- [Man] And I thought
more was in there.

- There is more,
there's always more.

[suspenseful music]

- Whoa, alright you
got some good shit.

- Just show money.

- We got a deal?

- Oh yeah.

- Alright, it looks
like we got a future.

[suspenseful music]

Alright, it looks like
we'll be in touch.

- Nobody move, hands up.

No one fucking move.

- You set me up.

- Bullshit.

- Listen to the man,
nobody has to die.

- [Man] Don't be stupid,
put the gun down.

- Put it down or your dead.

[gunshots firing]
[suspenseful music]

[man grunting]

[gunshots firing]

- Jimmy.

Let's go Jimmy.

[electronic music]

Come on.

Jimmy.

- What the fuck?

- We got the money.

- You said nobody
would get hurt.

- We got the money.

- I fucking knew.

Fuck it, we got to
call this shit in.

- Are you crazy?

- We need to stick to the plan.

We've been fucking these
Albanians for over a year.

SIU is all over these guys.

Got some new questions,
alright, fucking get it,

go call it in.

- Alright, fuck.

[electronic music]

- How you feeling?

- Better, sore, but strong.

- Six weeks.

You're doing a lot better
than I expected, considering.

- It's gonna take more than
a knife and an angry mob guy.

Oh.

- Oh.

- I'm done with that.

- More than just a pretty face.

Come on, the food's
getting food.

One or two?

- Uh two.

- [Kate] I should have expected.

- I thought doctors
eat better than this.

- Hah, do I have the time?

[laughing]

- So.

[background noise
drowns out other sounds]

- I know what you mean, he
doesn't forgive very easy.

- I mean, he's all the right,

he know what was in the bag.

How is he?

[background noise
drowns out other sounds]

- Okay.

- You know, for future
reference, let me know.

[background noise
drowns out other sounds]

- [Kate] Cheers.

- I'm gonna try this again.

So we know that on June
27, 2017, the Albanians

were meeting with some
low level drug dealers.

At some point, Jimmy
and Darius enter.

Sorry, at some point,
two gunmen enter.

- Brett Argon's son gets killed.

- So was an undercover cop.

- Your officers were notified
and started an investigation.

So what did they find out?

- We found that everyone's
story matched up evenly

too nicely.

Put up Robert's radar.

Then we hit dead
end after dead end

until we found a witness.

- Armando.

What happened in that interview?

- Robert reports everything,
even things he shouldn't.

- Come on, where
the hell is this?

This ain't no police station.

You want me to go in here?

Come on man, this is bullshit.

Come on, you gotta.

- Don't move.

- [Man] What are you gonna do?

I'm telling you man,
you got the wrong guy.

- [Man] Sit down.

Sit down.

- Okay.

What are you gonna do?

Come on, this is
bullshit, I'm telling you.

You got the wrong guy man.

- I know you were there
the day of the robbery.

You clocked in 7:00 am,
you never clocked out.

- [Man] What day was this?

- Don't be a fucking smart ass.

Like a double homicide
happens everyday

in front of your face.

- This is the Bronx, man.

- Don't be a smart ass.

- I got a dead cop undercover
in your organization.

Now you got a lot of bad shit
that's about to head your way.

- My cousin was killed too.

Don't forget that.

- Alright.

Tell me exactly what happened?

You fucking see these guy?

- Never seen him

- Why are you protecting him?

- I told you I've
never seen him.

[suspenseful music]

- Okay, Armando,
what do you want?

- I want to be granted immunity
for everything I've done

in the last five years.

And I want the same
for my uncle Argon.

- Your uncle.

- Hey, I'm sure you want
all the juicy details,

and let me tell you,
they are juicy [laughs].

- And you're willing to
testify in open court?

- [Man] And I'd jump up and
down, one god damned leg

in a circle, I'll come
in if you ask me to.

- Alright.

- Deal?

- Yeah, deal.

You're free to go.

Find your own fucking way out.

- Alright, I'm gonna make
sure I hear from you.

- [Man] Yeah, you do that.

[suspenseful music]

- Okay, so this guy's
about to take a plea

and then he goes missing.

- And we think he's dead but
we don't know who did it.

- And Jimmy's in the hospital

and Darius is in
the wind or dead.

- So, what, the Albanians
are cleaning house?

- I think it's personal.

I think Argon's going
after who killed his son

or whoever he thinks
killed his son.

- Okay, when who killed Armando?

- Now we're back at square one.

- Right now, I can say that.

What we can surmise is
that Armando witnessed

whoever hit the warehouse.

- I tried to keep
it under wraps but--

- But who knows how
many people he talked to

before he picked Armando up.

- Or how many of our
people have the same line

of access to the
information that you do.

- I can only think
of two people.

- Three.

Jimmy, Darius, and the chief.

I don't want to think it, but--

- Yeah, but it makes sense.

The chief has the capacity to
access the same IA reports,

having had years of informants
and who knows what else.

- And he was the lead
on the original case

against the Albanians before
Jimmy and SIU took over.

- Okay, hold on, nothing
without evidence.

- Tarique, why don't you take
a look at the rest of the

people involved in the
warehouse shooting.

See what they're up to.

- Sure.

- Tess, I think you
gotta go back to SIU

and see what the chief's doing.

Other than popping pills
and yelling at everyone.

Miriam.

- I'll check back with
Robert and see if we've

missed something.

- And I will go talk to Jimmy.

[suspenseful music]

- Escaped.

- Ah shit, how do
you feel, detective.

[background noise
drowns out other sounds]

I know nothing.

[background noise
drowns out other sounds]

You're not looking for
[mumbles], he ain't hiding.

- Then talk.

- There's a few places he has.

I may know a guy who
might be able to help out.

- I'm not looking for
a guy you may know.

- I don't fuck around
with these guys man,

'cause I value things like
my eyes, and my hands,

and breathing.

You should too.

- First name.

- You can't miss him.

He's a black guy with a
big scar across his eye.

He's the only guy
I know [mumbles]

looking for the sex shops.

Brett, that's his name.

- Last name.

- Yeah, right.

[suspenseful music]

- Yo, what the fuck man?

- Talk, don't run.

- [Man] Do you have any idea
who I am, who I work for?

- I know, that's why
I want information.

Talk.

Where is he?

Where is he?

[suspenseful music]

- [Man] What the
fuck is this place?

- [Man] It's a bankrupt
movie house [mumbles].

- [Man] What do you guys think?

- [Man] It works, it's okay.

[suspenseful music]

[background noise
drowns out other sounds]

- Where the fuck is Argon?

- Who's asking?

- NYPD.

- Fuck.

[gunshots firing]

[background noise
drowns out other sounds]

- Hey boss, I have someone
here who wants to talk to you.

- Argon.

- [Man] Who the fuck is this?

- Next time you stab
a man in the back,

you make sure he's dead.

- [Man] I don't
fucking believe it.

How can I help you officer?

- By taking a bullet.

- [Man] Are you sure, you
don't want your life back?

Are you sure you don't
want your daughter back?

- Don't mention my daughter,
you don't know my daughter.

- [Man] I can help.

I can help you get her back.

- Bullshit.

- Meet me tonight, come on.

- Yeah, okay.

Piece of shit.

[electronic music]

You're gonna be good?

- [Girl] Yeah.

- [Darius] You're
gonna be smart?

- [Girl] Yeah.

- [Darius] Say yeah,
I'm gonna be smart.

- Yes, I'm gonna be smart.

hands and say yeah.

And tell, okay.

- Fucking cockroach.

You killed by best men like
they weren't even there.

- It should have been you.

[chuckling]

What do you know
about my daughter?

- In a state hospital.

[background noise
drowns out other sounds]

I didn't know you were gonna
come back from the grave.

It's true.

I'm not a Bronxter.

Not killing nobody's kids.

[suspenseful music]

I'll get her back to you.

I can set you up.

- Set me up, how are
you gonna set me up?

- I need somebody on the
inside to keep my updated.

An informant.

[suspenseful music]

- What about Jimmy?

- What about Jimmy?

Let's just say what
happens happens.

If he dies.

Come on.

Let's grab a drink.

Nice place huh?

- Oh yeah, lovely.

- It's Darius.

drowns out other sounds]

- Yeah.

- Brings back them memories huh.

- Oh god, I wish
we could go back.

- Yeah, brother we
was kings back here.

Yeah, but time waits for no man.

[laughing]

Body count, no one
was suppose to die.

Those were your words.

You said that, Jimmy.

- Cynthia had her first
treatment last week.

- I thought we were gonna wait.

- She took a turn, I couldn't.

Can I tell that girl no?

Guess who's feeling better?

- [Girl] Hi, Uncle Jimmy.

[laughing]

- Look at her man, she's back.

My baby's back, man.

Tell Uncle Jimmy I'm back.

- I'm back.

- We love you, Uncle Jimmy.

- Cynthia like my daughter
too, man, I love her.

It's too soon.

- The next time Jimmy,
I'll say no, [mumbles]

and I'll why it killed my
daughter so fucking quickly.

Would that fucking
work for you, Jimmy?

Look man, this treatment
for Cynthia's working.

She's already showing
positive results.

And that money is
the only thing that's

gonna keep her alive.

These damn doctors says
she has a year at best.

I'm not buying it,
Jimmy, I can't.

- I understand why the insurance
won't fucking cover it.

- Yes you do.

It's experimental, Jimmy,
they can't fucking back it.

It's too much risk.

Fuck, man.

We should give it to her.

Look, Jimmy man,
I'm stressed out.

I'm sorry brother, my man.

- We're family, alright.

Together, damn right.

- But this time, nobody

- Alright, Jimmy.

- Alright, let's
get some shots up.

Hey, let's get some
shots up alright big dog.

You still got it?

Just like high school.

- Now you're making excuses.

That's my fault.

I promise you,
they're gonna pay.

I'm gonna get them.

I'm gonna get them all.

Get 'em all, Jimmy.

- Darius, what are you, Jimmy?

- Jimmy's fine.

- No, he's not fine.

He's in a coma.

- You know I gotta bring you in.

- That's not gonna happen.

- Yes it is.

There are way too
many questions.

- It's not what you think.

We're on the same side.

- What is this, what's going on?

Just come in with me,
please answer questions.

You took that money didn't you?

[background noise
drowns out other sounds]

Don't walk away from
me, Darius, the chief.

- Jimmy.

[suspenseful music]

- He's a good cop.

He's done some bad things

You just keep your eyes on him
