Riley Flips Out on Walker for Lying to Him | Law & Order | NBC

0:01 -I can't believe "snitches get stitches" is still a thing.

0:04 -Yeah.

0:04 Way of life for some people.

0:06 -I'm not seeing anything that's helpful here.

0:11 -Me, neither.

0:14 Our best bet is Book.

0:17 -Book?

0:17 He said he was home sick.

0:20 There's no way for us to prove him wrong, so...

0:23 -He's a cop.

0:24 -What do you mean, he's a cop?

0:26 -He's working undercover.

0:29 -How do you know?

0:30 -That address he gave us.

0:34 It's a safe house.

0:37 -You're just telling me this now?

0:38 -I was trying to protect his cover.

0:40 -Man, we talked about this.

0:41 Yeah, we talked about this exact thing.

0:43 Keeping secrets from each other, this whole lone wolf thing that you do.

0:46 -It was not intentional, okay?

0:48 Uh, I just wasn't thinking.

0:50 But you're right.

0:51 Okay?

0:52 I should have told you.

0:53 -Yeah.

1:00 Where are you going now?

1:02 -To tell Book he needs to testify.

1:03 -No, no, no, no, no.

1:04 -Maybe it's easier if I just go— -Look, hey...

1:07 if we're going to talk to him, we do it together, you understand?

1:11 Together.

1:19 -Look, I know you guys are in a bind, but I can't just walk away, blow my cover.

1:24 Not over this.

1:25 -We appreciate that, but this is a murder case, man.

1:27 -That sort of trumps everything else.

1:29 -Says you.

1:30 -Excuse me?

1:32 -I'm trying to take down a PV Mafia.

1:33 How many bodies a year you think these brothers are responsible for?

1:37 Not including the sex trafficking, the drug overdoses— -Look,

1:40 we're in the middle of a murder trial here, man.

1:41 Now, we got the defendant dead to rights.

1:43 All we need is someone— you— to come in and put the punk at the scene.

1:47 So, spare me your whole pie-in-the-sky undercover crap,

1:49 because it doesn't mean anything right now.

1:51 -Who the hell do you think you're talking to?

1:52 -Well, I'm talking to you, officer.

1:56 -You ain't got no right to come at me like that.

1:58 -Come at you?

1:59 Bro, trust me, I'm restraining myself right

2:01 now because I don't like cops who lie.

2:04 All right?

2:05 Who withhold information.

2:06 -You know what?

2:07 You homicide guys, you're all the same.

2:10 Think your cases are more more important than everyone else's.

2:13 -Yeah, because they are.

2:15 This banger, Eric, he shot and killed a 16-year-old kid.

2:18 An innocent 16-year-old kid.

2:21 So, we're gonna do whatever we got to do to get justice for him and his family.

2:24 And if that means forcing you to testify, then that's just how it is.

2:34 -Give me a sec, please.

2:44 Look, I did what I could.

2:48 We need you.

2:50 We need you, man.

2:52 And I know that sucks,

2:53 and I know this isn't how you were hoping this will play out.

2:55 But you gotta understand— -Brother...

2:57 I ain't testifying.

3:02 So, you can save all that self-help stuff for someone else.

3:18 -Before you even say anything, do not give me your lecture right now.

3:21 -I'm not going to give you one.

3:23 Okay?

3:23 -Good.

3:24 Your buddy Book is out of line, man.

3:27 He's out of line.

3:28 All he cares about is his case

3:30 and making a name for himself inside the department.

3:32 -Is there something wrong with that?

3:34 -Yeah, there's something wrong with that.

3:36 Look, this is supposed to be a team sport, right?

3:39 All NYPD on the same side,

3:41 doing what's best for the victims, for the people of this city.

3:44 -That's easy for you to say.

3:45 You don't know what it's like to spend two years in some crappy,

3:48 roach-infested apartment, pretending to be somebody else,

3:51 risking your life alone.

3:55 That was me, alright?

4:01 -You're right.

4:02 I don't know what that's like.

4:04 And I got respect for people who do that line of work.

4:08 But I got more respect, Theo, for this system and how it's supposed to work.

4:13 Now, he's going to testify.

4:17 Okay?

4:18 Because I'm going over his head.
