Law & Order

In the criminal justice system,

the people are represented

by two separate, yet equally important groups:

the police, who investigate crime,

and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

Excuse me, do you know where...

Hey, girlie.

How you doing?

Check this out.

Hey, if you don't pay attention,

you'll miss the magic.

Hey, whoa, whoa. Please let me go.

Come on. Show some love.

I see that pretty pink purse you got there.

Give us some money. Come on, girl, give it up.

Hey! Where you going?

Dang.

You're not listening to me!

Why won't anyone listen to me?

Watch it! Ah!

My first official day in the squad,

and caught a body for breakfast.

Welcome to the 2-7.

I appreciate you reaching out like that.

Best to work with people you know.

You guys got here fast.

We were nearby. What do we got?

Witness who called 911 saw a man grab the victim's purse,

and he pushed her off the bridge.

Get a description?

White, 20s, maybe 30s, wearing a baseball cap.

Said the purse was bright pink.

Was he armed?

Not that she could tell.

Oh, she's just a teenager.

Still waiting on the MLI techs?

Like I said, you got here fast.

What time did the 911 call come in?

10:07.

Only 17 minutes ago.

Killer might still be in the area.

2-7 Squad to Central.

Search the meadow and the surrounding areas.

Anyone... anyone matching the suspect's description.

Requesting a level-one mobilization.

You got it. Suspect is a white male,

possibly wearing a baseball cap,

and could be in the possession of a pink purse.

Barton Creek High School.

It's a suburb outside of Austin.

Looks like our vic wasn't local.

The concrete jungle where dreams are made of.

Did you know the deceased?

No, I was...

I was just walking when I heard a girl shouting.

It sounded like she needed help.

So I ran, and when I came around the corner there,

I saw the guy attacking her.

The man with the baseball cap?

Did you notice anything about him?

Visible tattoos, the color of his shirt,

the type of shoes he was wearing?

A light-colored shirt, I think, but I'm not sure.

All I remember are those eyes.

You got a good look at his face?

Yeah, right before he took off running,

he looked right at me.

Do you think you'd recognize him if you saw him again?

Yeah, I think I can.

It's just too crazy.

I've had three friends mugged in the past few months.

What is wrong with the people in this city?

Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Richards.

If there's anything else, we'll be in touch.

Hey, man. I didn't do anything.

Thank you.

I'm telling you. Officer?

I didn't do anything.

A word.

Detective?

The canvass order was for a white male,

age 20 to 40.

Oh, I'm sorry. I was just, uh...

You were just what?

You have enough potential suspects

who actually match the description

of the person we're looking for,

so I don't understand what you were doing over there.

Stop! Police!

2-7 Squad to Central. Go ahead, 2-7.

10-85 in pursuit of a white male headed north

on East Drive in Central Park.

Currently headed to Bethesda Fountain.

NYPD!

Hey! Hold it right there. Stop.

NYPD!

Where you going, buddy?

I didn't do anything.

Were you out for just a light jog?

What do we got here?

I found it on the ground.

I did nothing wrong.

Got it. Let's go, kid.

Empty.

Both eyewitnesses are positive that the runner

is not the same man that pushed our vic off the bridge.

Killer must have taken the valuables out of the purse

and then ditched it on the go.

Where this guy probably picked it up.

So where are we in finding the guy who actually did it?

We did the video canvass of that area

of the section of the park,

and we're going through the footage.

But I don't want to shock you, Lou,

but there's a lot of white guys with baseball caps.

All right, what about the vic?

Have you been able to ID her yet?

I talked to the principal at Barton Creek High in Texas.

She IDs our DOA as Becca Carter,

a senior at the school.

Well, did she know why Becca was in New York?

She says the school was on break this week.

Get this... Becca Carter is the daughter of Ron Carter.

The governor of Texas?

Oh, Jesus.

I just saw him on Fox News last week.

He was talking about how the rising crime rate in New York

and Chicago is a result of coastal liberals

neutering the police.

He's the governor of Texas.

What's he so concerned about New York for?

Gets him camera time.

The guy has gained a national profile hating on our city.

Until his daughter wants to visit New York

and see a Broadway show.

I will coordinate with the mayor's office

and notify the family.

Buckle up, everybody.

This is gonna bring some heat.

I might have something.

A camera four blocks

from the 66th Street entrance to the park.

Facial rec got a hit.

Steven Cabrera has priors for petty theft and burglary.

Looks like he's holding something.

Could be the contents of Becca's purse.

10:17 a.m.... that's ten minutes

after our eyewitness called 911.

The file shows a last known address.

Let's find him.

Does not look like Mr. Cabrera is home.

By the way, that situation earlier with the union,

the stop and frisk, I'm not cool with that, either.

Hold on, hold on.

That's our guy, yeah?

Steven Cabrera? NYPD.

I'll take the front.

You good? Yeah, I'm good.

He went that way.

Oh.

Show me your hands.

You got... ooh.

We got two options now.

One, you come with me.

Or two...

Why two?

Nice try.

Assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest.

You're looking at some real time, Steven.

You need to come clean about

what happened in the park this morning.

Park? I don't know what you're talking about.

We're talking about the young girl you killed.

Killed? No, no, no, man.

You got... you got the wrong guy.

Oh, really?

It's Dixon.

Yeah, Lou?

We got a video of you...

of you five blocks from the crime scene

right around the time of the murder!

I got a job washing dishes at a restaurant on 62nd Street.

They made me stay 15 minutes after my shift was over

because they're understaffed.

It was gonna make me late for my second job, all right?

That's why I was running. I was gonna be late.

You can check with my manager.

We will.

Word of advice, stop hitting cops with chairs.

All yours. Yeah, we're on our way.

What's up? We gotta head down

to City Hall. Our vic's father landed.

He's called himself a little press conference.

I've already contacted the Justice Department

demanding an investigation into how it's possible
