1
00:00:02,756 --> 00:00:03,856
I'm gonna see my little girl!
2
00:00:03,858 --> 00:00:05,458
No!
3
00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:07,260
You're not gonna get away
with this, Frannie! You're not!
4
00:00:07,262 --> 00:00:09,195
You are not coming in. Christopher!
I'm... I'm...
5
00:00:09,197 --> 00:00:10,998
We've got an audience.
Better call for backup.
6
00:00:10,999 --> 00:00:12,832
12 David requesting 10-85.
No, no, not like this...
7
00:00:12,834 --> 00:00:15,468
No emergency. We have a crowd at this location.
I want you to listen to me.
8
00:00:15,470 --> 00:00:16,703
You're not gonna get away
with this, Frannie!
9
00:00:16,705 --> 00:00:17,804
You're not coming in!
You're not...
10
00:00:17,806 --> 00:00:19,539
Okay, okay.
All right, hey, hey! Excuse me.
11
00:00:19,541 --> 00:00:20,807
Excuse me. Calm down. What's
going on? What's the problem?
12
00:00:20,809 --> 00:00:22,141
I'm just trying
to see my daughter.
13
00:00:22,143 --> 00:00:23,843
He's trying
to take her away from me.
14
00:00:23,845 --> 00:00:25,545
No, I'm not!
You okay, Mommy? - Oh.
15
00:00:25,547 --> 00:00:27,513
Alex, Alex, come to Daddy.
Come to Daddy.
16
00:00:27,515 --> 00:00:28,815
Whoa. Whoa.
Come on, man.
17
00:00:28,817 --> 00:00:30,717
Do me a favor. Back up.
Okay, tell me your name.
18
00:00:30,719 --> 00:00:32,919
Christopher Collins.
I just want to talk to her.
19
00:00:32,921 --> 00:00:34,654
Okay, talk to me.
Do-do you live here?
20
00:00:34,656 --> 00:00:35,922
No, but I got rights.
21
00:00:37,525 --> 00:00:38,791
Who has legal custody
of this child?
22
00:00:38,793 --> 00:00:40,493
I do.
23
00:00:40,495 --> 00:00:41,628
That doesn't mean
you can keep her from me.
24
00:00:41,630 --> 00:00:42,829
She's my kid, too.
Okay.
25
00:00:42,831 --> 00:00:43,997
What do
we got?
26
00:00:43,999 --> 00:00:45,031
We got a domestic.
27
00:00:45,033 --> 00:00:46,099
Maybe you can get
Mr. Collins' side
28
00:00:46,101 --> 00:00:47,501
of the story, and
we'll talk to her.
29
00:00:47,835 --> 00:00:48,934
Hey, I didn't do anything wrong!
30
00:00:48,936 --> 00:00:50,169
We didn't
say you did.
31
00:00:50,171 --> 00:00:51,203
I didn't do anything wrong.
32
00:00:51,205 --> 00:00:52,304
We just want
to talk to you.
33
00:00:52,306 --> 00:00:55,341
Okay, how did this all
get started?
34
00:00:55,343 --> 00:00:57,176
It's no big deal, okay?
35
00:00:57,178 --> 00:00:58,244
We can work this
out ourselves.
36
00:00:58,246 --> 00:00:59,545
Get off me.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
37
00:00:59,547 --> 00:01:00,746
Would you just get off?!
Hey, calm down!
38
00:01:00,748 --> 00:01:02,348
Hey, I didn't do anything
39
00:01:02,350 --> 00:01:04,383
wrong, man!
What the hell are you doing?!
40
00:01:04,385 --> 00:01:05,618
You're going in
for disorderly conduct.
41
00:01:05,620 --> 00:01:06,752
I didn't do anything!
42
00:01:06,754 --> 00:01:08,721
You're going in for
disorderly conduct.
43
00:01:08,723 --> 00:01:10,422
What the hell are you doing, man?!
They're hurting Daddy.
44
00:01:10,424 --> 00:01:12,024
It's okay. There is
no need for that. - Alex...
45
00:01:12,026 --> 00:01:13,492
Please. This is
a private matter.
46
00:01:13,494 --> 00:01:15,261
You made it a public matter
47
00:01:15,263 --> 00:01:17,229
when you brought it
out on the street.
48
00:01:19,066 --> 00:01:21,734
All you damn cops ever do
is make things worse.
49
00:01:28,575 --> 00:01:30,176
We respond, diffuse
the situation,
50
00:01:30,178 --> 00:01:32,144
and we're the bad guys?
51
00:01:32,146 --> 00:01:34,213
Domestics are like
a box of chocolates.
52
00:01:34,215 --> 00:01:36,248
You never know
what you're gonna get.
53
00:01:36,250 --> 00:01:38,517
Yeah, I just feel bad
for that little girl.
54
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:40,986
Yeah, she didn't win the lottery
in the parent department.
55
00:01:40,988 --> 00:01:43,289
Yeah. Know how
that feels.
56
00:01:43,291 --> 00:01:45,658
Just got another letter
from my dad yesterday.
57
00:01:45,660 --> 00:01:48,227
He never gives up.
Here you go.
58
00:01:48,229 --> 00:01:50,329
Maybe you should
think about...
59
00:01:50,331 --> 00:01:52,364
writing him back.
60
00:01:52,366 --> 00:01:56,735
Trust me, that letter wouldn't
make it past the prison censors.
61
00:01:56,737 --> 00:01:58,837
I need some help back here!
62
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,074
-== [ www.OpenSubtitles.org ] ==-
63
00:02:07,414 --> 00:02:08,881
Call for a bus!
Hey, what the hell happened?
64
00:02:08,883 --> 00:02:10,583
He had to take a leak.
65
00:02:10,585 --> 00:02:12,117
I took his cuffs off,
next thing I know,
66
00:02:12,119 --> 00:02:13,185
he took a swing at me.
67
00:02:13,187 --> 00:02:14,253
Did he bang his head?
68
00:02:14,255 --> 00:02:15,621
I-I don't know.
69
00:02:15,623 --> 00:02:17,156
Maybe he's on something.
I finally got him to the ground.
70
00:02:17,158 --> 00:02:18,558
Then I realized
he wasn't breathing.
71
00:02:18,559 --> 00:02:20,793
Eddie, give me a time check.
Hey, Christopher, stay with me.
72
00:02:20,795 --> 00:02:22,795
Come on, breathe.
Christopher, breathe!
73
00:02:22,797 --> 00:02:24,697
Hey, stay with me.
74
00:02:24,699 --> 00:02:27,466
Breathe. Chris,
breathe, Chris.
75
00:02:27,468 --> 00:02:31,036
And put a rush
on that bus!
76
00:02:33,873 --> 00:02:36,041
Yeah. I got it.
77
00:02:36,043 --> 00:02:38,143
I want the UOR on my desk
78
00:02:38,145 --> 00:02:40,379
before end of tour.
79
00:02:40,381 --> 00:02:43,782
I understand,
and the M.E.'s cause of death
80
00:02:43,784 --> 00:02:45,017
as soon as they can.
81
00:02:45,019 --> 00:02:47,987
I'll expect
to hear from you, Dino.
82
00:02:47,989 --> 00:02:49,021
What?
83
00:02:49,023 --> 00:02:51,690
We got a death in custody.
84
00:02:51,692 --> 00:02:53,359
12th precinct.
85
00:02:53,361 --> 00:02:55,561
Christopher Collins, age 34.
86
00:02:55,563 --> 00:02:57,429
We're gonna have
to hold a press conference.
87
00:02:57,431 --> 00:02:58,631
I know that, Garrett.
88
00:02:58,633 --> 00:03:01,533
Comes with the job.
89
00:03:01,535 --> 00:03:03,302
That went surprisingly well.
90
00:03:03,304 --> 00:03:04,436
Not my first rodeo.
91
00:03:04,438 --> 00:03:06,171
You should learn to
take a compliment.
92
00:03:06,173 --> 00:03:07,306
I'll put that
on my bucket list.
93
00:03:07,308 --> 00:03:08,474
Commissioner?
As you were.
94
00:03:08,476 --> 00:03:09,708
This press conference
is over, folks.
95
00:03:09,710 --> 00:03:10,809
Thanks for your time.
96
00:03:10,811 --> 00:03:12,211
Will Officer Cutter
be suspended?
97
00:03:12,213 --> 00:03:13,912
Officer Cutter's been placed
on modified assignment
98
00:03:13,914 --> 00:03:15,948
while this incident
is investigated.
99
00:03:15,950 --> 00:03:17,449
But do you take it personally
100
00:03:17,451 --> 00:03:20,452
when a citizen in custody
loses his life on your watch?
101
00:03:20,454 --> 00:03:22,321
We stand proudly on
this department's record
102
00:03:22,323 --> 00:03:24,290
of treating the public with
professionalism and respect.
103
00:03:24,292 --> 00:03:26,191
Commissioner? Commissioner?
That said,
104
00:03:26,193 --> 00:03:27,559
any loss of life is tragic.
105
00:03:27,561 --> 00:03:29,662
Mr. Collins' death will be
fully investigated
106
00:03:29,664 --> 00:03:31,864
by this department and
the district attorney's office.
107
00:03:31,866 --> 00:03:33,232
What's your reaction
to the selection
108
00:03:33,234 --> 00:03:34,800
of your daughter, Erin Reagan,
109
00:03:34,802 --> 00:03:37,403
to lead the D.A.'s investigation
of this matter?
110
00:03:38,906 --> 00:03:40,572
I have no comment on that.
111
00:03:40,574 --> 00:03:41,840
What would you say to those
112
00:03:41,842 --> 00:03:43,776
who will call this a glaring
conflict of interest?
113
00:03:43,778 --> 00:03:45,944
My daughter is
an accomplished prosecutor.
114
00:03:45,946 --> 00:03:48,347
And you feel she could be
objective about this, even when
115
00:03:48,349 --> 00:03:50,282
her father's professional
reputation is at stake?
116
00:03:50,284 --> 00:03:52,818
That is a question
that should be addressed to her.
117
00:03:52,820 --> 00:03:53,619
Exactly.
118
00:03:53,621 --> 00:03:54,620
But since
119
00:03:54,622 --> 00:03:55,688
you so ridiculously asked me,
120
00:03:55,690 --> 00:03:57,122
of course I think
she can be objective.
121
00:03:57,124 --> 00:03:58,290
That's it, Helen.
122
00:03:58,292 --> 00:04:00,526

Did you see Mr. Collins
resist the officers?
127
00:04:33,717 --> 00:04:35,717
He was upset.
128
00:04:35,719 --> 00:04:38,920
But Christopher wasn't
a violent person.
129
00:04:38,922 --> 00:04:42,757
I see that he was arrested
for assault three years ago?
130
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:43,958
That wasn't his fault.
131
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,761
Some drunk jerk
went after his brother in a bar,
132
00:04:46,763 --> 00:04:48,062
and Chris stepped in.
133
00:04:48,064 --> 00:04:49,664
I see.
134
00:04:49,666 --> 00:04:52,233
Since you're obviously looking
to blame the victim here,
135
00:04:52,235 --> 00:04:54,169
I'll save you some time.
136
00:04:54,171 --> 00:04:56,371
I've been busted twice
for possession.
137
00:04:58,407 --> 00:05:00,575
But I've been clean
for over a year.
138
00:05:00,577 --> 00:05:03,645
And you and Mr. Collins
have a daughter?
139
00:05:03,647 --> 00:05:05,680
Alex.
140
00:05:05,682 --> 00:05:06,981
She's seven.
141
00:05:06,983 --> 00:05:08,550
And you never married?
142
00:05:08,552 --> 00:05:10,752
What difference does that make?
143
00:05:10,754 --> 00:05:12,453
I'm not making any judgments.
144
00:05:12,455 --> 00:05:14,222
I'm just trying
to get the facts.
145
00:05:14,224 --> 00:05:15,657
The facts are,
146
00:05:15,659 --> 00:05:18,827
me and Christopher
were having an argument
147
00:05:18,829 --> 00:05:20,995
like people do.
148
00:05:20,997 --> 00:05:24,799
Next thing I know, he's getting
thrown into a cop car.
149
00:05:24,801 --> 00:05:28,536
Two hours later, I get
a phone call that he's dead.
150
00:05:32,341 --> 00:05:34,309
Did Mr. Collins have any...
151
00:05:34,311 --> 00:05:37,412
medical conditions--
asthma, heart problems?
152
00:05:37,414 --> 00:05:41,282
You think he had a heart attack?
153
00:05:41,284 --> 00:05:43,651
That crazy cop killed him.
154
00:05:48,624 --> 00:05:50,625
Did anybody see what happened?
155
00:05:50,627 --> 00:05:53,828
I have not interviewed
the officers yet,
156
00:05:53,830 --> 00:05:55,697
but apparently
there were no eyewitnesses
157
00:05:55,699 --> 00:05:57,365
to the actual incident.
158
00:05:57,367 --> 00:05:59,067
Well, there's a shock.
159
00:05:59,069 --> 00:06:02,570
A building full of cops,
and no one saw a damn thing?
160
00:06:02,572 --> 00:06:04,572
I understand that you're upset.
161
00:06:04,574 --> 00:06:05,840
If you just let
162
00:06:05,842 --> 00:06:07,742
the investigation
take its course,
163
00:06:07,744 --> 00:06:08,877
I assure you that...
164
00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:10,912
I've been in the system
before, okay?
165
00:06:10,914 --> 00:06:14,048
You guys work
with the cops every day.
166
00:06:15,551 --> 00:06:18,186
We both know
what's gonna happen here.
167
00:06:36,038 --> 00:06:38,806
How you holding up?
168
00:06:40,342 --> 00:06:42,510
Had better days.
169
00:06:44,847 --> 00:06:46,848
Talk to IAB?
170
00:06:46,850 --> 00:06:48,816
Not yet.
171
00:06:48,818 --> 00:06:51,019
Guy came at me, Jamie.
172
00:06:51,021 --> 00:06:52,420
The hell was I supposed to do?
173
00:06:52,422 --> 00:06:54,589
Thing is, I'm getting
interviewed, so...
174
00:06:54,591 --> 00:06:56,491
can't talk about it.
175
00:06:56,493 --> 00:06:58,459
Yeah. I get it.
176
00:06:58,461 --> 00:07:00,662
You hang in there.
177
00:07:02,031 --> 00:07:03,298
You know, my old man...
178
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,268
...thought I was crazy
when I took this job.
179
00:07:08,370 --> 00:07:10,371
Said it was crazy
180
00:07:10,373 --> 00:07:12,840
to put your life
on the line for peanuts.
181
00:07:13,676 --> 00:07:16,044
Might not be wrong.
182
00:07:37,099 --> 00:07:39,667
Looks like this
is gonna get ugly.
183
00:07:39,669 --> 00:07:41,536
Yeah, I could use a beer.
184
00:07:41,538 --> 00:07:42,837
Just one?
185
00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:44,439
Doubtful. You in?
186
00:07:44,441 --> 00:07:46,207
Oh, yeah.
187
00:07:46,209 --> 00:07:48,676
Randy Cutter is
pretty shaken up.
188
00:07:48,678 --> 00:07:51,179
Yeah. I've only talked
to him a couple times,
189
00:07:51,181 --> 00:07:53,081
but everybody says
he's a really good cop.
190
00:07:53,083 --> 00:07:55,516
Could have happened
to any of us in that bathroom.
191
00:07:55,518 --> 00:07:57,352
Don't remind me.
192
00:07:57,354 --> 00:07:59,153
I saw your dad.
193
00:07:59,155 --> 00:08:01,656
His press conference
on the news.
194
00:08:01,658 --> 00:08:03,658
He's in a tough spot.
195
00:08:03,660 --> 00:08:05,126
He's used to it.
196
00:08:05,128 --> 00:08:07,295
Crisis management's
a family tradition.
197
00:08:07,297 --> 00:08:10,298
It was cool the way
he stood up for your sister.
198
00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:12,033
Yeah, that reporter
got off easy.
199
00:08:12,035 --> 00:08:14,469
When it comes to sticking up
for his kids,
200
00:08:14,471 --> 00:08:16,137
my old man doesn't
take prisoners.
201
00:08:16,139 --> 00:08:19,640
Must be nice to know
you can count on him.
202
00:08:21,711 --> 00:08:22,910
Murderer!
203
00:08:25,781 --> 00:08:28,316
Erin's here, sir.
204
00:08:28,318 --> 00:08:32,120
Oh. Thank you, Baker. Hey.
205
00:08:32,122 --> 00:08:33,354
Hi. I hope you're ready.
206
00:08:33,356 --> 00:08:34,789
The reservation's at 7:30...
Oh, I canceled them.
207
00:08:34,791 --> 00:08:35,857
Oh. Why?
208
00:08:35,859 --> 00:08:38,326
Well, I thought we
could have dinner here.
209
00:08:39,595 --> 00:08:41,763
Oh. Okay.
210
00:08:42,898 --> 00:08:44,232
Look, I called an audible.
211
00:08:44,234 --> 00:08:45,700
I don't think
it's a good idea
212
00:08:45,702 --> 00:08:47,869
for you and me
to be out on the town.
213
00:08:47,871 --> 00:08:50,538
You had nothing to do
214
00:08:50,540 --> 00:08:52,607
with me being assigned
to this case.
215
00:08:52,609 --> 00:08:54,575
I know, but...
216
00:08:54,577 --> 00:08:56,944
sometimes the appearance
of a conflict can be worse
217
00:08:56,946 --> 00:08:58,312
than the real thing.
218
00:08:58,314 --> 00:09:00,548
So, we're just gonna
hide out up here?
219
00:09:00,550 --> 00:09:01,849
No. We're having dinner in.
220
00:09:01,851 --> 00:09:04,652
Okay by me.
221
00:09:10,493 --> 00:09:13,094
I... will say
222
00:09:13,096 --> 00:09:17,298
that finding out from a couple
of reporters was not ideal.
223
00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:20,468
Yeah, I'm sorry about that, but
things were moving so fast.
224
00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:23,071
Not like I haven't handled an
officer-involved case before.
225
00:09:23,073 --> 00:09:25,873
Death in custody is
a whole different deal.
226
00:09:25,875 --> 00:09:28,910
I understand.
I don't think you do.
227
00:09:28,912 --> 00:09:32,313
See, the other guy
on trial here is me.
228
00:09:32,315 --> 00:09:34,415
That's how this plays out.
229
00:09:35,851 --> 00:09:37,819
With you in the middle...
230
00:09:37,821 --> 00:09:40,922
Are you saying I should have
gotten your permission
231
00:09:40,924 --> 00:09:42,490
before taking this case?
232
00:09:42,492 --> 00:09:44,559
I'm just saying...
233
00:09:44,561 --> 00:09:47,028
that your participation
complicates
234
00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:49,130
an already difficult situation.
235
00:09:49,132 --> 00:09:52,467
Yeah, and have you thought
that it works both ways?
236
00:09:52,469 --> 00:09:55,703
Having you as a PC hasn't
made it exactly easy for me.
237
00:09:55,705 --> 00:09:57,672
I know that.
238
00:09:57,674 --> 00:09:59,974
But there are any number
of prosecutors
239
00:09:59,976 --> 00:10:01,843
who could have handled
this case,
240
00:10:01,845 --> 00:10:03,845
and there is only one PC.
241
00:10:03,847 --> 00:10:07,281
Yeah, and the fact
that he is my father
242
00:10:07,283 --> 00:10:10,118
isn't gonna stop me
from doing my job!
243
00:10:13,021 --> 00:10:16,858
Thank you for your support
with the reporters today.
244
00:10:16,860 --> 00:10:18,459
Excuse me.
245
00:10:18,461 --> 00:10:21,362
Don't think I'm gonna be very
good company for dinner tonight.
246
00:10:35,010 --> 00:10:36,811
Officer Cutter was on the job
247
00:10:36,813 --> 00:10:38,813
in Nassau County for six years.
248
00:10:38,815 --> 00:10:41,015
According to his evaluations,
Cutter was a model cop.
249
00:10:41,017 --> 00:10:43,584
Yeah, and he and his partner
did volunteer
250
00:10:43,586 --> 00:10:45,052
to be interviewed
this afternoon.
251
00:10:45,054 --> 00:10:47,088
Nice digs.
252
00:10:47,090 --> 00:10:48,523
Craig,
253
00:10:48,525 --> 00:10:50,558
I didn't know they let you out
of the M.E.'s office.
254
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:53,394
Every now and then,
we walk among the living.
255
00:10:53,396 --> 00:10:55,496
You got a second for me?
256
00:10:55,498 --> 00:10:57,431
Yeah, sure. Richard.
257
00:11:01,703 --> 00:11:03,604
I got the preliminary findings
258
00:11:03,606 --> 00:11:05,573
on Christopher Collins'
cause of death.
259
00:11:05,575 --> 00:11:07,376
Well, you could have
just e-mailed that to me.
260
00:11:07,377 --> 00:11:08,709
Eh, for you I schlep,
261
00:11:08,711 --> 00:11:11,679
especially since the case
is all over the front page.
262
00:11:11,681 --> 00:11:15,183
Did the tox screen come back
with drugs in Collins' system?
263
00:11:15,185 --> 00:11:17,652
Nope. Clean as a whistle.
264
00:11:17,654 --> 00:11:19,654
Hmm.
265
00:11:19,656 --> 00:11:21,489
Nice.
266
00:11:21,491 --> 00:11:24,091
They don't have a picture of
this from the top of the bridge?
267
00:11:24,093 --> 00:11:25,893
Craig. Cause of death.
268
00:11:25,895 --> 00:11:28,896
Oh, yeah. Anoxic brain injury.
269
00:11:29,731 --> 00:11:31,866
Does that come in English?
270
00:11:31,868 --> 00:11:34,802
Christopher Collins sustained
pressure to the carotid artery--
271
00:11:34,804 --> 00:11:38,839
cuts off oxygen to the brain,
resulting in respiratory arrest.
272
00:11:38,841 --> 00:11:41,709
Are you saying Collins
was choked to death?
273
00:11:41,711 --> 00:11:44,946
Yep. You got an old-fashioned
homicide on your hands.
274
00:11:56,091 --> 00:11:58,856
I advised Officer Cutter. He has
no obligation to talk to you.
275
00:11:58,857 --> 00:12:01,491
I-I know you got a job to do,
and I got nothing to hide.
276
00:12:01,493 --> 00:12:04,127
Can you take me
through the incident?
277
00:12:04,129 --> 00:12:07,530
My partner and I brought the
suspect into the precinct.
278
00:12:07,532 --> 00:12:10,633
We stopped at the front desk,
I secured my weapon.
279
00:12:10,635 --> 00:12:13,236
Then, on the way
to the cell area,
280
00:12:13,238 --> 00:12:15,271
he says he needs
to use the bathroom.
281
00:12:15,273 --> 00:12:17,207
Was Collins handcuffed
at this point?
282
00:12:17,209 --> 00:12:19,442
Yes. But once we got inside,
283
00:12:19,444 --> 00:12:22,245
I took 'em off
so he could relieve himself.
284
00:12:22,247 --> 00:12:25,949
Everything was fine till I
tried to put the cuffs back on.
285
00:12:25,951 --> 00:12:27,450
What happened?
286
00:12:27,452 --> 00:12:29,119
I got one of the cuffs on,
287
00:12:29,121 --> 00:12:31,087
and he complains
it's too tight.
288
00:12:31,089 --> 00:12:34,891
He starts resisting.
The guy's strong as an ox.
289
00:12:34,893 --> 00:12:36,793
Next thing I know,
we're going at it.
290
00:12:36,795 --> 00:12:38,228
Did you call for help?
291
00:12:38,230 --> 00:12:40,296
I tried. He had his hands
292
00:12:40,298 --> 00:12:42,432
in my face, on my throat.
293
00:12:42,434 --> 00:12:45,602
Did you have your hands
on his throat at any point?
294
00:12:45,604 --> 00:12:50,073
Choke holds are
against department policy.
295
00:12:50,075 --> 00:12:51,941
Was that a no?
296
00:12:51,943 --> 00:12:53,243
Yeah.
297
00:12:53,245 --> 00:12:54,911
Uh,
298
00:12:54,913 --> 00:12:58,214
when I finally got control
of him, I called for my partner.
299
00:12:58,216 --> 00:13:00,150
That's when I...
300
00:13:00,152 --> 00:13:03,486
noticed Collins was unconscious.
301
00:13:04,255 --> 00:13:07,357
At first I thought
he was faking.
302
00:13:07,359 --> 00:13:09,025
You know?
303
00:13:09,027 --> 00:13:11,027
And...
304
00:13:11,029 --> 00:13:14,397
then I realized
he wasn't breathing.
305
00:13:18,435 --> 00:13:22,639
Look, I'm... sick
about what happened, Ms. Reagan.
306
00:13:23,474 --> 00:13:25,041
But if I didn't defend myself,
307
00:13:25,043 --> 00:13:29,379
it would have been me dead
in that bathroom.
308
00:13:29,381 --> 00:13:33,383
And where were you
when the incident occurred?
309
00:13:33,385 --> 00:13:35,752
I went down the hall to run
the prisoner for warrants
310
00:13:35,754 --> 00:13:38,454
while Officer Cutter
took him to the bathroom.
311
00:13:38,456 --> 00:13:41,391
And when were you aware
that there was something wrong?
312
00:13:41,393 --> 00:13:44,327
Uh, a couple minutes
after we split,
313
00:13:44,329 --> 00:13:45,762
I heard Randy...
314
00:13:45,764 --> 00:13:48,965
Officer Cutter, uh,
call for help.
315
00:13:48,967 --> 00:13:52,268
I ran down the hallway.
When I entered the bathroom,
316
00:13:52,270 --> 00:13:56,973
I saw Cutter on the floor with
the perp, who was unconscious.
317
00:13:58,742 --> 00:14:01,611
At any point,
did you see Officer Cutter...
318
00:14:01,613 --> 00:14:06,349
apply any kind of choke hold
on Mr. Collins?
319
00:14:06,351 --> 00:14:09,152
No.
320
00:14:09,154 --> 00:14:11,854
No, I didn't see anything
like that.
321
00:14:15,526 --> 00:14:18,094
Sarge is looking for volunteers
to take an inmate back to prison
322
00:14:18,096 --> 00:14:20,697
after he testifies downtown.
Sure.
323
00:14:20,699 --> 00:14:22,332
Thanks, boss.
You got it, Reagan.
324
00:14:22,334 --> 00:14:24,567
Uh, which prison?
325
00:14:24,569 --> 00:14:27,637
I think he's from
Lincoln Correctional.
326
00:14:27,639 --> 00:14:29,639
What?
327
00:14:34,578 --> 00:14:36,879
Would you cut the crap?
Hmm?
328
00:14:36,881 --> 00:14:38,881
You know my dad's
locked up over there.
329
00:14:38,883 --> 00:14:40,283
Yeah, I remember
you told me that.
330
00:14:40,285 --> 00:14:42,051
I know what you're trying to do.
331
00:14:42,053 --> 00:14:43,820
I know you think you're helping.
332
00:14:43,822 --> 00:14:44,988
You're not.
333
00:14:44,990 --> 00:14:46,956
Look, you have to talk to him
at some point.
334
00:14:46,958 --> 00:14:50,360
No. I don't think that I need
to talk to him at some point.
335
00:14:51,562 --> 00:14:54,163
It's not gonna be
a tearful reunion, okay?
336
00:14:54,165 --> 00:14:56,499
Not everyone comes
from a perfect family, Reagan.
337
00:14:56,501 --> 00:14:58,468
Hey, trust me,
we have our moments.
338
00:14:58,470 --> 00:15:00,203
You ever been betrayed
by the person
339
00:15:00,205 --> 00:15:02,672
you trust most in the world?
340
00:15:03,507 --> 00:15:04,774
You ever find out
that everything
341
00:15:04,776 --> 00:15:07,210
you grew up believing was a lie?
342
00:15:07,212 --> 00:15:08,544
No.
343
00:15:08,546 --> 00:15:10,013
You know what?
344
00:15:10,015 --> 00:15:13,182
If I need someone to fix my
life, I'm gonna call a shrink,
345
00:15:13,184 --> 00:15:15,118
not a cop.
346
00:15:20,324 --> 00:15:21,891
You're saying
347
00:15:21,893 --> 00:15:24,894
that cop strangled Christopher?
348
00:15:24,896 --> 00:15:27,130
His death has been ruled
a homicide.
349
00:15:27,132 --> 00:15:30,366
However, it's still unclear
if Officer Cutter's use of force
350
00:15:30,368 --> 00:15:32,368
was... justified.
351
00:15:32,370 --> 00:15:34,203
Meaning he could still get away
with it.
352
00:15:34,205 --> 00:15:36,105
Mommy?
353
00:15:36,107 --> 00:15:37,740
Can I bring Gus?
354
00:15:37,742 --> 00:15:39,242
Of course.
355
00:15:40,077 --> 00:15:42,412
Say hi
to Ms. Reagan.
356
00:15:42,414 --> 00:15:43,780
Hi.
357
00:15:43,782 --> 00:15:46,082
Hi. I like your elephant.
358
00:15:46,084 --> 00:15:48,284
Thank you.
359
00:15:50,454 --> 00:15:52,255
She's beautiful.
360
00:15:52,257 --> 00:15:54,223
Takes after
her father.
361
00:15:54,225 --> 00:15:56,426
Chris, uh...
362
00:15:56,428 --> 00:15:58,895
was, um...
363
00:15:58,897 --> 00:16:00,363
a good person.
364
00:16:00,365 --> 00:16:02,799
He wanted to get married. I...
365
00:16:02,801 --> 00:16:05,768
I could never get
my act together.
366
00:16:05,770 --> 00:16:08,404
What were you two arguing about
the day he died?
367
00:16:08,406 --> 00:16:12,642
I told him I want to take Alex
to live in Chicago.
368
00:16:12,644 --> 00:16:14,777
That's where my family's from.
369
00:16:14,779 --> 00:16:17,113
So he was upset
you were leaving?
370
00:16:17,115 --> 00:16:19,382
Alex was everything
371
00:16:19,384 --> 00:16:21,584
to him.
372
00:16:21,586 --> 00:16:24,787
I hate to admit it,
but he was a...
373
00:16:24,789 --> 00:16:27,056
he was a much better parent
than me.
374
00:16:27,058 --> 00:16:29,959
So when the police came
375
00:16:29,961 --> 00:16:32,195
and tried to take him away,
he...
376
00:16:32,197 --> 00:16:34,530
I guess he panicked.
377
00:16:34,532 --> 00:16:37,734
The thought of being far
from Alex, it...
378
00:16:37,736 --> 00:16:40,670
just... made him crazy.
379
00:16:42,272 --> 00:16:44,841
And Christopher shouldn't
have acted up with that cop,
380
00:16:44,843 --> 00:16:47,043
but...
381
00:16:48,812 --> 00:16:52,181
...he didn't deserve to die
for loving his little girl.
382
00:16:57,921 --> 00:17:00,496
Look at this
welcoming committee.
383
00:17:00,497 --> 00:17:03,432
Thanks for coming in, Norm.
Oh. Yeah, anything for my old boss.
384
00:17:03,434 --> 00:17:05,167
How's Long Island treating you?
Eh, good.
385
00:17:05,169 --> 00:17:07,269
I get a lot more fishing in
than when I worked for you.
386
00:17:07,271 --> 00:17:09,137
How you doing?
Hi, Chief, how are you?
387
00:17:09,139 --> 00:17:12,007
Baker, I need a few minutes
undisturbed with the chief.
388
00:17:12,009 --> 00:17:14,209
Yes, sir.
389
00:17:15,044 --> 00:17:16,978
Take a load off.
Mm-hmm.
390
00:17:16,980 --> 00:17:19,748
You still got that
old Boston Whaler?
391
00:17:19,750 --> 00:17:22,517
Yep. Just put
a brand-new cooler in.
392
00:17:22,519 --> 00:17:26,388
I like a man who's got
his priorities straight.
393
00:17:28,691 --> 00:17:30,725
I wanted to talk to you
about Randy Cutter.
394
00:17:30,727 --> 00:17:33,795
I figured that.
It's a hell of a situation.
395
00:17:33,797 --> 00:17:36,465
He was under your command for
six years. What can you tell me?
396
00:17:36,467 --> 00:17:40,068
Randy had a solid reputation.
Evaluations were excellent.
397
00:17:40,070 --> 00:17:43,338
He certainly was
on the fast track to detective.
398
00:17:43,340 --> 00:17:44,372
Why'd he leave?
399
00:17:44,374 --> 00:17:46,374
Eh, a lot of guys out there, uh,
400
00:17:46,376 --> 00:17:49,010
they think that the NYPD's
top of the line.
401
00:17:49,012 --> 00:17:51,213
You guys pay more.
402
00:17:51,215 --> 00:17:52,948
Eh, I guess he wanted
to know what it was like
403
00:17:52,950 --> 00:17:55,050
to work in the big city.
404
00:17:55,052 --> 00:17:57,018
Well...
405
00:17:57,020 --> 00:17:59,688
now he knows.
406
00:18:13,136 --> 00:18:16,071
Kara, thank you for meeting me.
407
00:18:16,073 --> 00:18:18,073
My lawyer told me not
to talk to you again.
408
00:18:18,075 --> 00:18:20,876
And yet here you are.
409
00:18:26,916 --> 00:18:30,585
I met Christopher Collins'
daughter today.
410
00:18:31,888 --> 00:18:33,488
How's she doing?
411
00:18:33,490 --> 00:18:35,423
It's tough.
412
00:18:35,425 --> 00:18:38,326
Her father was everything
to her.
413
00:18:40,163 --> 00:18:43,932
When you and Officer Cutter
had arrived on the scene,
414
00:18:43,934 --> 00:18:46,234
Collins had just learned
that his...
415
00:18:46,236 --> 00:18:49,538
ex was moving their daughter
to Chicago.
416
00:18:52,441 --> 00:18:54,209
You have kids?
417
00:18:54,211 --> 00:18:56,244
Yeah. My son's three-and-a-half.
418
00:18:56,246 --> 00:18:59,281
So you can imagine
how he was feeling.
419
00:19:00,383 --> 00:19:03,118
That didn't give him the right
to resist arrest.
420
00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:05,253
Or attack a cop.
421
00:19:05,255 --> 00:19:06,888
No.
422
00:19:06,890 --> 00:19:09,191
But I don't think
he deserved to die
423
00:19:09,193 --> 00:19:11,426
for trying to keep
his family together.
424
00:19:14,063 --> 00:19:16,431
When you've been a prosecutor
for a while,
425
00:19:16,433 --> 00:19:19,100
you kind of get a sense when...
426
00:19:19,102 --> 00:19:21,236
someone isn't telling you
everything they know.
427
00:19:21,238 --> 00:19:22,404
I should go.
428
00:19:22,406 --> 00:19:24,573
Did you see Officer Cutter
429
00:19:24,575 --> 00:19:27,776
apply a choke hold to Collins
in that bathroom?
430
00:19:29,212 --> 00:19:31,046
I've been riding with Randy
for over a year.
431
00:19:31,048 --> 00:19:33,215
He's the best cop I know,
and he saved my life
432
00:19:33,217 --> 00:19:35,217
on more than one occasion
so I can go home to my kid.
433
00:19:35,219 --> 00:19:37,485
So, in other words,
you're willing to lie for him.
434
00:19:37,487 --> 00:19:38,920
Because when
I call you
435
00:19:38,922 --> 00:19:41,323
in front of that grand jury,
you will be under oath.
436
00:19:41,325 --> 00:19:43,758
If you lie, it is a felony.
437
00:19:45,761 --> 00:19:47,229
You do what you gotta do,
438
00:19:47,231 --> 00:19:48,763
and I'll do the same.
439
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:12,688
This corned beef
is amazing, Grandpa.
440
00:20:12,690 --> 00:20:14,823
Old family recipe.
441
00:20:14,825 --> 00:20:16,525
Which your great-grandmother
442
00:20:16,527 --> 00:20:17,993
guarded with her life.
443
00:20:17,995 --> 00:20:19,561
Why was it such a big secret?
444
00:20:19,563 --> 00:20:21,630
Grandma always
said a family is
445
00:20:21,632 --> 00:20:22,964
held together by
its secrets.
446
00:20:22,966 --> 00:20:25,267
We're held together by
corned beef and cabbage?
447
00:20:25,269 --> 00:20:26,468
Well...
448
00:20:26,470 --> 00:20:27,436
Yeah, and tradition.
449
00:20:27,438 --> 00:20:28,770
Things that are passed on
450
00:20:28,772 --> 00:20:30,772
from generation to generation.
451
00:20:30,774 --> 00:20:33,141
Sounds like the NYPD.
452
00:20:33,143 --> 00:20:34,609
How's that?
453
00:20:34,611 --> 00:20:36,545
Well, the department's
like family,
454
00:20:36,547 --> 00:20:38,847
and God knows they're good
at keeping secrets.
455
00:20:39,782 --> 00:20:41,016
What are we talking about?
456
00:20:41,018 --> 00:20:43,719
Everyone at this table
knows about
457
00:20:43,721 --> 00:20:46,521
the NYPD's blue wall of silence.
458
00:20:47,558 --> 00:20:49,291
Not me.
459
00:20:49,293 --> 00:20:51,360
It's when cops protect each other,
no matter what.
460
00:20:51,362 --> 00:20:52,661
It's more than that.
461
00:20:52,663 --> 00:20:54,596
Yeah, like when a skel
tries to slug you
462
00:20:54,598 --> 00:20:55,897
in the precinct bathroom,
463
00:20:55,899 --> 00:20:57,966
whatever they get in return
for that, they deserve.
464
00:20:57,968 --> 00:20:59,000
Exactly.
465
00:20:59,002 --> 00:21:00,168
And if the only witness to that
466
00:21:00,170 --> 00:21:01,103
is another cop,
467
00:21:01,105 --> 00:21:03,004
then he has nothing
to worry about.
468
00:21:03,006 --> 00:21:04,373
Oh, come on.
469
00:21:04,375 --> 00:21:07,075
I assume you're
referring to Officer Walsh.
470
00:21:07,077 --> 00:21:08,343
Kara's a good cop,
471
00:21:08,345 --> 00:21:09,945
and it's possible
she didn't see anything.
472
00:21:09,947 --> 00:21:12,447
You're toeing the company line
now, too, huh?
473
00:21:12,449 --> 00:21:13,415
What's that supposed to mean?
474
00:21:13,417 --> 00:21:14,916
It means that
your sister
475
00:21:14,918 --> 00:21:18,019
thinks that all cops lie
to cover each other's butts.
476
00:21:18,021 --> 00:21:19,154
Oh, she didn't say that.
477
00:21:19,156 --> 00:21:21,456
Okay, I get that cops
need to protect themselves,
478
00:21:21,458 --> 00:21:22,991
but there have to be
some regulations
479
00:21:22,993 --> 00:21:24,626
as to how far
they can go, right?
480
00:21:24,628 --> 00:21:26,828
- We have guidelines.
- That's right.
481
00:21:26,830 --> 00:21:28,497
To protect cops and the public.
482
00:21:28,499 --> 00:21:30,332
But no matter what the
regulations say, a cop
483
00:21:30,334 --> 00:21:32,868
should never rat
on their partner. Ever.
484
00:21:32,870 --> 00:21:36,004
So then the regulations
don't really mean much, right?
485
00:21:36,006 --> 00:21:37,773
Smart kid.
486
00:21:37,775 --> 00:21:39,508
What your father's saying
is that sometimes
487
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:41,877
the most important thing
is personal loyalty.
488
00:21:41,879 --> 00:21:44,012
So husbands and wives
can't be forced to testify
489
00:21:44,014 --> 00:21:45,680
against each other
or their kids.
490
00:21:45,682 --> 00:21:46,915
That's a relief.
491
00:21:46,917 --> 00:21:49,017
Don't be getting
any bright ideas.
492
00:21:50,086 --> 00:21:51,086
That's fine,
493
00:21:51,088 --> 00:21:53,555
but Cutter and Walsh
are not family.
494
00:21:53,557 --> 00:21:54,756
They're partners.
495
00:21:54,758 --> 00:21:56,358
All right, but when you're
out on the street,
496
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:58,894
the only person that can watch
your back is your partner.
497
00:21:58,896 --> 00:22:01,663
And your life is in their hands.
So I don't know about you,
498
00:22:01,665 --> 00:22:04,065
but that makes me feel
like it's a family.
499
00:22:04,067 --> 00:22:05,700
But the law...
500
00:22:05,702 --> 00:22:07,335
doesn't see it that way.
501
00:22:08,771 --> 00:22:10,038
Maybe it should.
502
00:22:17,513 --> 00:22:19,815
Why do we
have to leave so early?
503
00:22:19,817 --> 00:22:22,350
I have to work...
I just want to leave.
504
00:22:23,486 --> 00:22:24,953
Don't forget the dividends.
505
00:22:26,589 --> 00:22:28,423
Corned beef makes
good leftovers?
506
00:22:28,425 --> 00:22:29,791
Well, that's
the best thing about it.
507
00:22:29,793 --> 00:22:32,060
You chop it up with some
potatoes and some onions,
508
00:22:32,062 --> 00:22:34,896
you fry it up in a skillet, and
presto: corned beef hash.
509
00:22:39,168 --> 00:22:41,536
I'll take this
to the car.
510
00:22:42,805 --> 00:22:45,574
It sounds like you've
already made up your mind
511
00:22:45,576 --> 00:22:48,210
about asking for an indictment
against my officer.
512
00:22:48,212 --> 00:22:50,245
Your officer?
513
00:22:50,247 --> 00:22:51,379
That's the way I see 'em.
514
00:22:51,381 --> 00:22:54,416
I believe Randy Cutter is guilty
515
00:22:54,418 --> 00:22:56,618
of criminally negligent
homicide.
516
00:22:56,620 --> 00:22:58,553
And you have enough
to back that up?
517
00:22:58,555 --> 00:23:00,388
Honestly, no. I wish I had more.
518
00:23:00,390 --> 00:23:03,391
Well, I'm no lawyer,
519
00:23:03,393 --> 00:23:07,729
but it looks to me like the case
against him's pretty flimsy.
520
00:23:07,731 --> 00:23:08,763
Well, it wouldn't be
521
00:23:08,765 --> 00:23:10,665
if his partner would admit
to what she saw.
522
00:23:10,667 --> 00:23:13,602
Do you think it's fair to indict
a man for what you think is true
523
00:23:13,604 --> 00:23:14,970
rather than what you can prove?
524
00:23:14,972 --> 00:23:18,240
The point of the grand jury is
not to prove innocence or guilt.
525
00:23:18,242 --> 00:23:20,575
I just want to convince them
to let me try the case.
526
00:23:20,577 --> 00:23:21,877
I know the law.
527
00:23:21,879 --> 00:23:25,814
I also know Christopher Collins
attacked Officer Cutter,
528
00:23:25,816 --> 00:23:28,817
who was unarmed and outweighed
by a good 50 pounds.
529
00:23:28,819 --> 00:23:31,253
Christopher Collins
was unarmed, too,
530
00:23:31,255 --> 00:23:32,888
and "your officer" used
deadly force!
531
00:23:32,890 --> 00:23:36,925
If it were me or Danny or Jamie,
we might've done the same thing.
532
00:23:36,927 --> 00:23:39,528
I'm supposed to give Cutter
the benefit of the doubt?!
533
00:23:39,530 --> 00:23:41,796
The man was defending himself!
534
00:23:41,798 --> 00:23:45,033
Is that what the prosecutor
on the case is supposed to do,
535
00:23:45,035 --> 00:23:46,434
or the commissioner's daughter?
536
00:23:48,638 --> 00:23:52,307
You chose to make that
one and the same, Erin.
537
00:23:55,311 --> 00:23:58,146
Christopher Collins was a father
538
00:23:58,148 --> 00:23:59,948
who was facing
the loss of his daughter,
539
00:23:59,950 --> 00:24:03,184
and he was scared and confused
and likely out of line,
540
00:24:03,186 --> 00:24:05,253
but he did not deserve to die.
541
00:24:11,127 --> 00:24:13,995
You really trust your gut
on this?
542
00:24:13,997 --> 00:24:16,965
Yes.
543
00:24:16,967 --> 00:24:19,234
Officer Cutter went too far...
544
00:24:19,236 --> 00:24:21,503
and he needs to pay for it.
545
00:24:36,953 --> 00:24:39,421
I'm just saying
she's got a job to do.
546
00:24:39,423 --> 00:24:40,789
Dad doesn't?
547
00:24:40,791 --> 00:24:43,291
I saw him last night.
He is not happy.
548
00:24:43,293 --> 00:24:45,360
Why, what, did he say something?
549
00:24:45,362 --> 00:24:46,728
Didn't have to say anything.
550
00:24:46,730 --> 00:24:48,697
Erin's name came up
and he made that face.
551
00:24:48,699 --> 00:24:52,200
Was it the I've-got-the weight-of-the-world
on-my-shoulders face
552
00:24:52,202 --> 00:24:53,668
or the I-wish-
I-never-had-kids face?
553
00:24:53,670 --> 00:24:56,404
Both faces. And you know what?
He's right.
554
00:24:56,406 --> 00:24:57,806
She should've never taken
the case.
555
00:24:57,808 --> 00:24:59,174
Well, maybe nobody noticed,
556
00:24:59,176 --> 00:25:01,910
but Erin's a rising star
in the DA's office.
557
00:25:01,912 --> 00:25:03,812
She might become the first
female Manhattan DA.
558
00:25:03,814 --> 00:25:06,681
So what?
So, if her last name's Reagan,
559
00:25:06,683 --> 00:25:09,751
she's gotta prove she's independent of
the NYPD and the PC.
560
00:25:09,753 --> 00:25:11,286
All of our last names are Reagan
561
00:25:11,288 --> 00:25:13,188
and we all got careers
to worry about,
562
00:25:13,190 --> 00:25:14,623
but family comes first.
563
00:25:14,625 --> 00:25:16,291
How's it going, Jamie?
564
00:25:16,293 --> 00:25:17,859
Oh, hey, you guys.
565
00:25:17,861 --> 00:25:19,628
Uh, this is my brother, Danny.
566
00:25:19,630 --> 00:25:20,929
Hey.
567
00:25:20,931 --> 00:25:23,798
Word is your sister's going
pretty hard after Cutter.
568
00:25:26,002 --> 00:25:27,102
Can't talk about that.
569
00:25:27,104 --> 00:25:28,536
He's a good cop.
570
00:25:28,538 --> 00:25:30,105
She should cut
him some slack.
571
00:25:31,274 --> 00:25:33,942
Hey, how about I buy
the next round, okay,
572
00:25:33,944 --> 00:25:36,511
and you guys take it back
from where you came from?
573
00:25:36,513 --> 00:25:37,912
Cutter was doing his job.
574
00:25:37,914 --> 00:25:40,548
Your sister shouldn't sell him
out for a headline.
575
00:25:40,550 --> 00:25:42,384
And you should shut your face.
576
00:25:42,386 --> 00:25:44,452
I think you should take
my brother up on that beer.
577
00:25:47,490 --> 00:25:49,591
Or we could
just take this outside.
578
00:25:52,361 --> 00:25:55,630
Hey, come on.
579
00:25:55,632 --> 00:25:57,365
Let's go.
580
00:26:08,310 --> 00:26:09,811
Let me get this straight.
581
00:26:09,813 --> 00:26:11,880
You're ready to throw down
with those two knuckleheads
582
00:26:11,882 --> 00:26:12,947
even though they agree
583
00:26:12,949 --> 00:26:14,616
with everything
you just said about Erin?
584
00:26:14,618 --> 00:26:17,686
Reagan family rule number one:
585
00:26:17,688 --> 00:26:19,421
Reagans can talk smack
all night long.
586
00:26:19,423 --> 00:26:22,691
Outsiders talk smack,
there's gonna be a fight.
587
00:26:23,559 --> 00:26:26,494
Way to get my back.
588
00:26:26,496 --> 00:26:28,063
Glad to help.
589
00:26:30,599 --> 00:26:32,200
Hey, Frank.
590
00:26:32,202 --> 00:26:33,668
Morning, Norm.
I didn't think
591
00:26:33,670 --> 00:26:36,237
you'd take me up
on that fishing trip so soon.
592
00:26:36,239 --> 00:26:38,873
Yeah, well.
593
00:26:38,875 --> 00:26:40,942
I was thinking about
what you told me,
594
00:26:40,944 --> 00:26:44,779
about how Randy Cutter always
wanted to work for the NYPD.
595
00:26:44,781 --> 00:26:45,947
Yeah, yeah. What about it?
596
00:26:45,949 --> 00:26:49,284
Why did he wait six years
to make the move?
597
00:26:49,286 --> 00:26:50,952
You'd have to ask him that.
598
00:26:50,954 --> 00:26:52,754
I'm asking you.
599
00:26:53,823 --> 00:26:56,825
Why would a solid cop
like Cutter--
600
00:26:56,827 --> 00:26:58,426
close to making detective--
601
00:26:58,428 --> 00:27:01,930
suddenly turn in his shield,
forfeit his seniority
602
00:27:01,932 --> 00:27:04,599
and start from scratch
with another department?
603
00:27:07,737 --> 00:27:12,474
You know, I always considered us
colleagues.
604
00:27:12,476 --> 00:27:16,845
Friends, even,
in that "from work" kind of way.
605
00:27:16,847 --> 00:27:18,213
You?
606
00:27:18,215 --> 00:27:19,380
Yeah, sure.
607
00:27:19,382 --> 00:27:24,385
There was an allegation
that went away
608
00:27:24,387 --> 00:27:27,522
with a quick settlement
and a quiet resignation.
609
00:27:27,524 --> 00:27:30,191
How did you know?
610
00:27:33,629 --> 00:27:36,197
I didn't... till now.
611
00:27:36,199 --> 00:27:39,768
What I told you about Cutter's
reputation, that was all true.
612
00:27:39,770 --> 00:27:41,369
He was a good cop for us.
613
00:27:41,371 --> 00:27:43,772
But it wasn't the whole truth,
was it, Norm?
614
00:27:46,609 --> 00:27:48,710
Cutter and his partner collared
a couple of kids;
615
00:27:48,712 --> 00:27:50,845
possession of narcotics.
No weapons.
616
00:27:50,847 --> 00:27:54,883
One of 'em ran.
Cutter took off after him.
617
00:27:54,885 --> 00:27:57,852
When his partner caught up,
the kid had a fractured skull.
618
00:27:57,854 --> 00:28:00,455
I wanted him charged,
619
00:28:00,457 --> 00:28:02,190
I wanted him tossed
off the force,
620
00:28:02,192 --> 00:28:05,560
but the county executive,
he had other ideas.
621
00:28:05,562 --> 00:28:06,928
It was an election year...
622
00:28:06,930 --> 00:28:10,098
You let me hire
a ticking time bomb.
623
00:28:10,100 --> 00:28:13,334
I'm sorry, Frank.
624
00:28:13,336 --> 00:28:16,271
A day late
and a dollar short, Norm.
625
00:28:16,273 --> 00:28:18,773
This goes public,
I won't cover for you.
626
00:28:18,775 --> 00:28:20,842
You're on your own.
627
00:28:36,370 --> 00:28:40,573
I used to walk this beat
back in the day.
628
00:28:40,575 --> 00:28:42,909
As you were.
629
00:28:42,911 --> 00:28:44,677
You mind if I tag along?
630
00:28:44,679 --> 00:28:46,713
No, sir.
631
00:28:49,250 --> 00:28:51,851
Been quite a week.
632
00:28:51,853 --> 00:28:53,686
You doing okay?
633
00:28:53,688 --> 00:28:56,089
Just trying
to get through it, I guess.
634
00:28:56,091 --> 00:28:58,224
You do this job
on a razor's edge.
635
00:28:58,226 --> 00:29:01,094
You protect people,
keep the peace,
636
00:29:01,096 --> 00:29:03,696
and try to do it
the right way.
637
00:29:03,698 --> 00:29:07,467
Yes, sir.
That goes for me...
638
00:29:07,469 --> 00:29:08,535
and Randy.
639
00:29:08,537 --> 00:29:12,972
But sometimes,
despite your best efforts,
640
00:29:12,974 --> 00:29:14,441
things go wrong.
641
00:29:16,043 --> 00:29:17,744
With all due respect, sir,
642
00:29:17,746 --> 00:29:20,680
I already gave
my statement to IAB.
643
00:29:20,682 --> 00:29:22,615
I read your statement,
Officer Walsh.
644
00:29:22,617 --> 00:29:24,818
I'm not here to question it.
645
00:29:29,990 --> 00:29:32,959
Used to be a Polish market
on that corner.
646
00:29:34,495 --> 00:29:39,065
The stores change,
the faces change,
647
00:29:39,067 --> 00:29:43,169
but the job we do here...
648
00:29:43,171 --> 00:29:45,472
that stays the same.
649
00:29:45,474 --> 00:29:48,041
Serve and protect.
650
00:29:48,043 --> 00:29:50,243
The citizens and your partner.
651
00:29:50,245 --> 00:29:52,979
Randy always had my back.
652
00:29:52,981 --> 00:29:55,115
He made me a better cop.
653
00:29:55,117 --> 00:29:57,650
Then you owe him for that.
654
00:29:57,652 --> 00:30:00,920
But it does not excuse you
of the obligation
655
00:30:00,922 --> 00:30:02,088
to enforce the law.
656
00:30:02,090 --> 00:30:05,825
Collins attacked my partner
in that bathroom.
657
00:30:05,827 --> 00:30:07,794
Randy had the right
to defend himself.
658
00:30:07,796 --> 00:30:10,096
Yes, he did.
659
00:30:10,098 --> 00:30:13,933
But if he went too far,
660
00:30:13,935 --> 00:30:15,635
that's for a jury to decide.
661
00:30:18,072 --> 00:30:20,773
My uncle was a sergeant
in the 3-8 for 30 years.
662
00:30:20,775 --> 00:30:23,743
And he told me a cop who won't
put it all on the line
663
00:30:23,745 --> 00:30:25,845
for his partner doesn't
deserve to wear the shield.
664
00:30:25,847 --> 00:30:28,648
All due respect to your uncle,
665
00:30:28,650 --> 00:30:31,618
it's the cop who breaks the law
666
00:30:31,620 --> 00:30:34,053
doesn't deserve
to wear the shield.
667
00:30:56,243 --> 00:30:57,343
Hey...
668
00:30:57,345 --> 00:31:01,915
this thing with my dad
has been chewing at me
669
00:31:01,917 --> 00:31:03,983
for a-a long time.
670
00:31:05,319 --> 00:31:08,321
And I've tried everything
I can think of to get over it,
671
00:31:08,323 --> 00:31:09,322
but I just can't.
672
00:31:09,324 --> 00:31:11,658
I get that.
673
00:31:11,660 --> 00:31:13,126
He did a really bad thing.
674
00:31:13,128 --> 00:31:17,330
He ruined people's lives.
675
00:31:17,332 --> 00:31:19,365
He ruined my family.
676
00:31:19,367 --> 00:31:22,869
And he did a real job on you.
677
00:31:24,538 --> 00:31:26,439
Yeah. When you...
678
00:31:26,441 --> 00:31:29,776
when you believe in someone
completely
679
00:31:29,778 --> 00:31:32,979
and they let you down...
680
00:31:32,981 --> 00:31:36,916
it messes with you.
681
00:31:37,985 --> 00:31:40,820
You start to question
your own judgment,
682
00:31:40,822 --> 00:31:44,691
and it's like you...
683
00:31:44,693 --> 00:31:46,426
it's like I can't trust myself.
684
00:31:46,428 --> 00:31:48,595
It's like I can't trust anyone.
685
00:31:48,597 --> 00:31:51,264
That's no way to live, Eddie.
686
00:31:51,266 --> 00:31:52,809
I know.
687
00:31:55,770 --> 00:31:58,338
That's why...
688
00:31:58,340 --> 00:32:00,840
that's why today after tour,
689
00:32:00,842 --> 00:32:03,977
I'm gonna, um...
690
00:32:03,979 --> 00:32:06,646
I'm gonna go up there,
I'm gonna see my dad.
691
00:32:07,481 --> 00:32:09,549
Good for you.
692
00:32:09,551 --> 00:32:12,318
I-I know I don't have
the right to ask you this,
693
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,989
but I just was wondering if...
694
00:32:15,991 --> 00:32:20,326
maybe you'd want
to go up there... with me?
695
00:32:21,729 --> 00:32:23,396
Yeah.
696
00:32:23,398 --> 00:32:26,132
I could do that.
697
00:32:33,674 --> 00:32:36,976
We'll start by presenting
the timeline, and then I'll go
698
00:32:36,978 --> 00:32:38,645
into the medical
examiner's report.
699
00:32:38,647 --> 00:32:40,513
I'll have the slides
ready to go.
700
00:32:40,515 --> 00:32:42,148
Great. And...
701
00:32:43,017 --> 00:32:45,451
Can I talk to you for a second?
702
00:32:45,453 --> 00:32:46,753
Yeah.
703
00:32:46,755 --> 00:32:48,454
I'll meet you inside.
704
00:32:51,759 --> 00:32:53,760
I owe you an apology.
705
00:32:53,762 --> 00:32:56,696
No. No, you don't
owe me anything.
706
00:32:56,698 --> 00:32:59,732
Except the truth.
707
00:32:59,734 --> 00:33:01,668
You were right.
708
00:33:01,670 --> 00:33:04,170
I didn't tell you
everything I saw.
709
00:33:04,172 --> 00:33:05,638
I couldn't.
710
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,774
I know it's difficult.
711
00:33:11,179 --> 00:33:14,047
When I heard Cutter
call for help,
712
00:33:14,049 --> 00:33:15,148
I ran to the bathroom.
713
00:33:15,150 --> 00:33:18,217
I saw Cutter and Collins
on the floor.
714
00:33:18,219 --> 00:33:20,920
Cutter had Collins
around the neck.
715
00:33:20,922 --> 00:33:21,821
Collins was turning blue.
716
00:33:21,823 --> 00:33:24,123
Randy, let him go.
717
00:33:24,125 --> 00:33:25,858
Randy.
I told Randy to let him go.
718
00:33:25,860 --> 00:33:27,560
Get help.
But he didn't.
719
00:33:27,562 --> 00:33:29,462
I mean, his motor
was going pretty good,
720
00:33:29,464 --> 00:33:30,830
he was just locked in.
721
00:33:30,832 --> 00:33:32,065
Go for help!
722
00:33:32,067 --> 00:33:34,067
And he told me to go get help.
723
00:33:37,806 --> 00:33:41,040
I should have stayed.
724
00:33:41,042 --> 00:33:42,508
Maybe I could have stopped it.
725
00:33:42,510 --> 00:33:46,312
No. What happened
is not your fault.
726
00:33:48,049 --> 00:33:50,216
By the time I came back
with help,
727
00:33:50,218 --> 00:33:53,886
Randy was giving him CPR, but...
728
00:33:53,888 --> 00:33:55,488
by then it was too late.
729
00:33:59,694 --> 00:34:02,295
It takes a lot of courage
to tell the truth.
730
00:34:04,865 --> 00:34:07,033
Better late than never, I guess.
731
00:34:10,170 --> 00:34:12,605
He didn't mean
to kill him, Ms. Reagan.
732
00:34:13,974 --> 00:34:15,575
He just went too far.
733
00:34:20,215 --> 00:34:21,848
You okay to go inside?
734
00:34:40,434 --> 00:34:42,101
Eddie, you all right?
735
00:34:42,103 --> 00:34:45,772
Starting to think that maybe
this wasn't such a hot idea.
736
00:34:45,774 --> 00:34:47,340
Hey, it's gonna be okay.
737
00:34:47,342 --> 00:34:49,108
Yeah, really?
Well, maybe you should go in,
738
00:34:49,110 --> 00:34:50,410
'cause I'm gonna
go back to the car.
739
00:34:50,412 --> 00:34:52,712
Hey. Hey. Eddie. Eddie.
740
00:34:52,714 --> 00:34:54,814
You're doing
the right thing here.
741
00:34:54,816 --> 00:34:57,483
It's just crazy.
742
00:34:57,485 --> 00:34:59,285
He's...
You know, he's my father,
743
00:34:59,287 --> 00:35:02,088
and I have absolutely no idea
what to say to him.
744
00:35:02,090 --> 00:35:03,589
I think he
just wants to see you.
745
00:35:03,591 --> 00:35:06,793
No. I think he wants me
to forgive him.
746
00:35:06,795 --> 00:35:08,594
And I don't know
that I can do that.
747
00:35:08,596 --> 00:35:11,030
You know, when we first started
working together,
748
00:35:11,032 --> 00:35:12,899
I got to admit,
I had my doubts about you.
749
00:35:12,901 --> 00:35:15,501
Say what?
Rich girl from the suburbs,
750
00:35:15,503 --> 00:35:16,869
fancy car, four feet tall,
751
00:35:16,871 --> 00:35:18,171
wiseass attitude.
752
00:35:18,173 --> 00:35:19,939
Oh. Like you're God's gift
to the NYPD?
753
00:35:19,941 --> 00:35:22,542
Then we got in a couple
tough spots together,
754
00:35:22,544 --> 00:35:24,010
and you know what?
755
00:35:24,012 --> 00:35:25,278
You really showed me something.
756
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:26,279
Yeah.
757
00:35:26,281 --> 00:35:27,580
What?
758
00:35:27,582 --> 00:35:30,917
No matter what goes down,
you never take a step back.
759
00:35:30,919 --> 00:35:31,951
You're not afraid, Eddie.
760
00:35:31,953 --> 00:35:36,622
Well, maybe I just
do a good job hiding it.
761
00:35:36,624 --> 00:35:38,958
Either way, you,
you do what you got to do.
762
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,294
You can do this.
763
00:35:43,597 --> 00:35:45,965
What the hell?
764
00:35:45,967 --> 00:35:47,867
I left my gun back in my locker,
765
00:35:47,869 --> 00:35:49,402
so it's not like I'm gonna
shoot the guy.
766
00:35:49,404 --> 00:35:50,503
That's the spirit.
767
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,607
Thank you.
768
00:35:54,609 --> 00:35:56,042
Yep.
769
00:36:05,819 --> 00:36:08,387
Sir.
770
00:36:11,693 --> 00:36:14,427
Officer Cutter's here.
771
00:36:14,429 --> 00:36:15,795
Let's have him.
772
00:36:23,271 --> 00:36:25,738
Thanks for coming in.
Please sit down.
773
00:36:25,740 --> 00:36:28,107
Commissioner.
774
00:36:29,544 --> 00:36:31,577
I understand you started a fund
775
00:36:31,579 --> 00:36:33,312
for Christopher Collins'
daughter.
776
00:36:33,314 --> 00:36:34,247
Thank you.
777
00:36:34,249 --> 00:36:37,049
The least I could do.
778
00:36:37,051 --> 00:36:39,185
If-if I could take back
what happened...
779
00:36:41,455 --> 00:36:42,922
I know.
780
00:36:44,259 --> 00:36:45,791
How do you think
the grand jury went?
781
00:36:45,793 --> 00:36:47,493
Uh...
782
00:36:47,495 --> 00:36:50,196
my lawyers advised me
not to testify.
783
00:36:50,198 --> 00:36:51,264
I-I wanted to--
784
00:36:51,266 --> 00:36:53,699
wanted to tell them
what really happened.
785
00:36:55,035 --> 00:36:58,938
Well, looks like things are
working out for you.
786
00:36:58,940 --> 00:37:00,740
I just got a heads up.
787
00:37:00,742 --> 00:37:02,975
The grand jury declined
to indict you.
788
00:37:07,448 --> 00:37:09,048
Thank you, sir.
789
00:37:09,050 --> 00:37:12,852
They say a grand jury will
indict a ham sandwich, but...
790
00:37:12,854 --> 00:37:14,754
when a police officer acts
791
00:37:14,756 --> 00:37:15,888
in the line of duty,
792
00:37:15,890 --> 00:37:17,990
suddenly they seem
to lose their appetite.
793
00:37:17,992 --> 00:37:19,992
Well, I-I'm just...
794
00:37:19,994 --> 00:37:21,961
grateful I can get back to work.
795
00:37:23,997 --> 00:37:25,431
Not here.
796
00:37:25,433 --> 00:37:27,099
Sir?
797
00:37:27,101 --> 00:37:31,771
Oh. I'm sure there are PDs that
would consider you an asset.
798
00:37:31,773 --> 00:37:33,372
But not this one.
799
00:37:34,909 --> 00:37:36,342
Not while I'm
police commissioner.
800
00:37:36,344 --> 00:37:39,011
Uh-- I don't understand.
801
00:37:39,013 --> 00:37:41,480
I know what happened
out on Long Island.
802
00:37:41,482 --> 00:37:43,449
That was an accident, sir.
803
00:37:43,451 --> 00:37:44,550
The guy resisted arrest.
804
00:37:44,552 --> 00:37:47,053
Like Christopher Collins?
805
00:37:47,055 --> 00:37:50,990
You know, at a certain point,
it seems like it's your problem,
806
00:37:50,992 --> 00:37:52,491
not their problem.
807
00:37:52,493 --> 00:37:54,060
That's not fair.
808
00:37:54,062 --> 00:37:57,863
Well, it is my job to decide
whether two bad incidents
809
00:37:57,865 --> 00:38:00,533
in an otherwise stellar
seven-year career...
810
00:38:00,535 --> 00:38:04,036
make you... an unlucky cop...
811
00:38:04,038 --> 00:38:06,772
or a dangerous cop.
812
00:38:06,774 --> 00:38:09,075
And I have to err
on the side of caution here.
813
00:38:09,077 --> 00:38:12,244
Look, you walked a beat,
Commissioner.
814
00:38:12,246 --> 00:38:14,480
You know what it's like
when your life's on the line.
815
00:38:14,482 --> 00:38:16,649
We get paid to keep the peace
816
00:38:16,651 --> 00:38:18,150
with restraint
and good judgment,
817
00:38:18,152 --> 00:38:19,852
even...
818
00:38:19,854 --> 00:38:21,887
...when our lives
are on the line.
819
00:38:24,325 --> 00:38:26,058
Not everyone's built for it.
820
00:38:27,327 --> 00:38:29,261
You are not built for it.
821
00:38:29,263 --> 00:38:31,864
I defended myself.
822
00:38:31,866 --> 00:38:34,700
With a choke hold
that is clearly not authorized
823
00:38:34,702 --> 00:38:35,701
by this department.
824
00:38:35,703 --> 00:38:36,969
Look, you-you can't do this.
825
00:38:36,971 --> 00:38:38,738
All due respect, sir,
I want a hearing.
826
00:38:38,740 --> 00:38:40,106
You're still on probation.
827
00:38:40,108 --> 00:38:42,241
I can terminate you
anytime I choose.
828
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,180
Randy...
829
00:38:48,182 --> 00:38:50,916
this job is not about
being strong enough
830
00:38:50,918 --> 00:38:52,785
to use force.
831
00:38:54,988 --> 00:38:57,189
It's about being
strong enough not to.
832
00:39:01,696 --> 00:39:02,895
I'm sorry.
833
00:39:04,332 --> 00:39:05,498
You're dismissed.
834
00:39:25,619 --> 00:39:27,219
Didn't mean to barge in.
835
00:39:27,221 --> 00:39:29,555
Well, security didn't call.
836
00:39:29,557 --> 00:39:31,023
You must have some juice.
837
00:39:31,025 --> 00:39:33,626
Most of the guys downstairs
used to work for me.
838
00:39:33,628 --> 00:39:37,363
Well, you cops
do stick together.
839
00:39:37,365 --> 00:39:40,199
I heard about the grand jury.
840
00:39:40,201 --> 00:39:44,670
Well, I thought I was home free
once Officer Walsh came forward.
841
00:39:44,672 --> 00:39:46,038
Thank you for that, by the way.
842
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,540
I don't know what
you're talking about.
843
00:39:47,542 --> 00:39:52,144
I also got an anonymous tip
that Cutter had
844
00:39:52,146 --> 00:39:54,313
cracked someone's skull open
in Long Island.
845
00:39:54,315 --> 00:39:56,182
I suppose you don't know
anything about that, either.
846
00:39:56,184 --> 00:39:57,083
Nope.
847
00:40:04,492 --> 00:40:05,791
Cutter wouldn't take the stand,
848
00:40:05,793 --> 00:40:08,494
so I didn't get his violent past
on the record.
849
00:40:08,496 --> 00:40:10,763
What about
Officer Walsh's testimony?
850
00:40:12,433 --> 00:40:13,966
It wasn't enough.
851
00:40:13,968 --> 00:40:15,868
At the end of the day,
the jurors just saw a cop
852
00:40:15,870 --> 00:40:17,903
defending himself
against a violent criminal.
853
00:40:17,905 --> 00:40:19,572
Started out that way.
854
00:40:19,574 --> 00:40:22,875
Yeah.
855
00:40:22,877 --> 00:40:24,677
I just wish Cutter
knew when to stop
856
00:40:24,679 --> 00:40:26,045
and I pray he doesn't
go out there
857
00:40:26,047 --> 00:40:27,012
and do it all over again.
858
00:40:27,014 --> 00:40:28,047
He won't.
859
00:40:29,383 --> 00:40:31,050
Not here, anyway.
860
00:40:35,388 --> 00:40:36,889
Hmm.
861
00:40:36,891 --> 00:40:39,225
What happened to, uh,
862
00:40:39,227 --> 00:40:41,060
giving him the
benefit of the doubt?
863
00:40:41,062 --> 00:40:42,128
In this case,
864
00:40:42,130 --> 00:40:44,230
it didn't benefit anybody
but him.
865
00:40:46,234 --> 00:40:49,301
Look at you, all wised up.
866
00:40:55,208 --> 00:40:58,911
When I found out you were
handling the case...
867
00:40:58,913 --> 00:41:00,513
I reacted badly.
868
00:41:01,882 --> 00:41:04,116
Well, I could have
given you a heads up.
869
00:41:04,118 --> 00:41:07,486
You were doing your job.
870
00:41:07,488 --> 00:41:10,055
I was only thinking of mine.
871
00:41:12,025 --> 00:41:14,627
I'm sorry.
872
00:41:19,332 --> 00:41:21,233
Thank you for that.
873
00:41:25,305 --> 00:41:27,573
I could use a drink.
874
00:41:27,575 --> 00:41:29,542
Join me?
875
00:41:35,615 --> 00:41:37,917
Isn't that some kind of
conflict of interest?
876
00:41:37,919 --> 00:41:40,519
Well, we could get
separate checks.
