Long Bright River

Three females have been found dead.

All three were determined to have lethal amounts of insulin in their system.

What's going on?

Danjarat found a video of the perp in those girls' murders.

Well, this, coupled with the witness account...

...from the second victim's crime scene,

tells us we may have our perp.

Yeah, I know that girl. She's been here a couple of times.

She was in here with this guy, Jimmy Scanlon.

Let's talk to this Jimmy Scanlon's family.

Do you recognize this woman?

No. Why?

They both went missing around the same time that your husband did.

What are you thinking about? - My birthday party.

Oh. - I want to have a real one this year.

Okay. - I wanna invite Dad.

Three-alarm fire at 222 Braddock Street.

Paula!

I got a video of the perp.

Oh, my God, Mickey. Are you serious?

You know him? - Yeah, I know him.

You know him, too.

'Cause he's a cop.

That's all Paula said?

It was a cop?

Thank you. - You're welcome.

Mickey. - She also said that the cop...

...was using his badge to extort women for sex.

And you believe her?

I've known Paula my whole life. She has no reason to lie to me.

What about Dock?

Dock has an alibi. He was locked up during two of the murders.

And that's the only reason you asked me here?

Just to tell me what Paula said?

No.

I just don't know where to start.

How about we start with why you went to Dock's without me?

I should have been there with you, Mickey.

I was afraid of what Kacey might have told Dock about me...

...that I hadn't told you myself.

Like what?

Come on, girls. Let's go.

Thanks for joining the Police Youth Club.

Stay out of trouble.

Wait.

What? I gotta get to work. - I want to go back to settlement.

And I want to go on a tropical vacation with Ann-Margret.

But that ain't gonna happen.

Your sister didn't get in.

But I just made section leader for Woodwinds.

I'm way too old for this... - Stop. Where she goes, you go. That's it.

So go play tag or something.

Be a kid.

Look at this like a life lesson, okay?

You don't always get what you want.

Come on. It beats sitting at home, right?

Where are we supposed to go? Do we check in or something?

Paula!

I thought you said you weren't coming to PYC.

My mom had to work.

Come on. We're going outside.

Come on, Mickey. - Come on.

It's okay.

You go ahead.

Come on, Kace.

What are you reading?

Steinbeck?

I love that book.

I'm Officer Cleare.

I have a sneaking suspicion...

...that nobody else here is reading Steinbeck.

What does that have to do with Dock?

Nothing.

It had to do with her.

And how I let someone come between us.

But that's not the whole story.

Some more coffee, please?

Everybody plays Minecraft.

I don't.

Where did you see this game?

Lila had it.

Lila has a phone?

Lots of kids do.

Great. - It's really educational.

It teaches you geometry, and how to build a good foundation.

Where did you hear that?

That's what you said when I started Legos.

Okay. Now...

What do I do? - I'll download it.

Thanks, Mom.

Okay.

Oh.

Thomas.

Hey, you can just show me after dinner. Yeah?

Here you go.

Okay.

What would you call this tempo?

Um... Allegretto.

Could you play this on your horn?

Uh...

I don't think it would sound good on a horn.

Are you excited about your birthday?

Maybe we could play Minecraft.

Or maybe you could play something where you actually connect with each other.

Okay? Without screens.

Mom, you can play Minecraft together.

I'm gonna show you, okay?

Okay. Okay.

I can't wait. - You're gonna love it.

Am I?

And can I have snakes?

What? - Oh, for the goodie bags.

Oh, yeah, I'll try.

What's wrong?

I... I...

I know you wanted your dad to be at the party,

but I've left several messages and he's not responded.

And we did talk about this.

This has nothing to do with you.

But Gee's gonna come. And that'll be fun.

Well, you go ahead.

You know, technically, that's illegal, right?

Arrest me.

Thought you guys weren't into, you know, intoxication.

Drugs are haram.

Keeping people alive so they can recover...

...that's different.

To me, at least.

How are you feeling?

Good days.

Bad days.

Are you still gambling?

No.

That's good.

By the way, I may have spoke too soon about Dock.

It seems like that guy is making enemies everywhere he goes.

Yeah? How do you mean?

You know his abando got burned down yesterday.

Word on the street, it was his old supplier.

Old supplier, means there's a new one.

Always is.

Have you heard anything in the neighborhood lately...

...about a cop using his badge to extort women?

Of course there is.

You know about this? - Mm-mm.

I know about the police. That's what I know about.

You know you can't trust them.

You're different.

You know who this cop might be?

You're better off asking which cop it couldn't be.

When I lost my sons, you know two cops walked right on by...

...while I was out there yelling for help,

when that good-for-nothing ambulance never came.

You were the only cop who stopped,

only cop I knew back then to carry Narcan on him,

only cop who gave a shit.

You don't know how many cops I see each day...

...walk straight past human suffering.

Therefore, it don't surprise me...

...that some among you cause it.

Garcia.

Brooks.

It'd be one thing if they just forgot about us,

if they could only just turn a blind eye,

because what they're doing out there...

...fanning the flames, making bad things worse in this community.

We don't need protection from each other.

We need protection from the police.

Excuse me, is this footage taken from outside your store?

Looks that way.

I was assigned to check back in with you guys.

See if you or any of your coworkers have spotted this guy.

We think he may have something to do with the Kensington murders.

Nah. I don't know him.

Maybe I can check your camera. - Someone broke it last week.

Did you file a report?

Do you want to?

Sure, sounds great. Why don't you file a report?

Actually, better yet, I could just show you why we didn't.

Okay.

So there's a cop across the street just watching us.

How lucky we are to have him, right?

Then this dude rolls up, busts the camera.

And what do the cops do? Nothing.

Sitting there, smoking a cigarette.

The only thing folks can count on anymore is that you can't count on them.

So he just sat there?

He didn't even get out of his car. It was embarrassing.

I was embarrassed to be a cop.

Did you recognize him? - No.

It's like these women, Taylor Yoon, Elizabeth O'Connor,

that Jane Doe they found by the tracks...

...looks like they've all been forgotten.

Mr. Winton's right.

Something's changed in the neighborhood.

I'm talking about trust,

and respect,

and how there used to be some, both ways.

Now there's none.

When I was growing up,
