I don't know, man.

Just look around.

Look under sh*t.

Look behind sh*t,

like I'm doing.

The cops came in.

They stashed it

really quick, man.

-What about the boat thing?

-The what?

The boat. Did you look

through the boat?

Nah, not yet.

Hello!

Hello! Nassau County Police.

Anybody in there?

F***! F***!

Nassau County Police!

F***! F***! F***!

Sh*t, man.

Take his shoes off!

Go look for a hiding spot.

Don't leave the ride.

Hold on, hold on.

This motherf***er's

not gonna remember sh*t

when he wakes up.

Open the f***ing mouth.

Oh, there you are.

What happened?

We were yelling at the gate.

Sorry, man,

I couldn't hear anything.

He's inside here.

Watch out

for the rail.

-He's just here.

-Oh, sh*t.

What happened to him?

I don't know.

I just heard

a ton of noise outside.

I just walked in here,

and he's just

layin' there like this...

Unconscious, I guess.

What happened

to the other one?

- Could we get a bus for a...

- The other one...

...lacerations to the face.

As soon as I turned the lights

on, everybody ran off.

Is he still in the park?

Maybe. I don't know.

You have an ETA?

I'm gonna

need you to turn all

- the lights on in the park.

- Copy.

Uh... Yeah, just give me

a couple of minutes.

Hold on.

Let me call you back, hold on.

'Cause I just

peeped something.

Yo, yo, yo.

Stop! Stop! Turn around.

Turn around.

Nice strong pulse.

He has a good chest rise.

He's moving good oxygen.

Those whacks are pretty nasty

on his forehead though.

Hey, bud. Hey. Hey.

What's going on, man? Hey.

You awake? Hello. Hello.

He's a little agitated.

Hold on. Hold on to him.

Hey, man, it's all right.

It's all right.

Relax. Relax. Relax.

There goes that drug use, huh?

Just hold

on to his legs.

Make sure you got his legs.

All right, all right,

all right, all right.

- I'm gonna cuff him.

- Yeah, yeah.

Let's restrain him.

Relax,

you're gonna be all right.

Relax.

All right, I got his arms.

You get under.

Take your time.

One. Two. Three.

All right, let's put him

on a stretcher.

All right.

Get off of me!

Why are you still

holding me, sir?

Get off!

Get off! Get off of me!

Wait, I just

explained myself to you.

I didn't have to do that.

You're not

making any sense.

This is the girl.

Yo!

Is this the one

that was running around?

Nah,

it wasn't a girl, bro.

I don't know who that is.

Look me at,

don't look at him.

Look at me. How old are you?

-I'm 16.

-Where's your ID?

What are you doing here?

You don't want...

You don't know, and

you don't want to talk to me?

Come on. You're outta here.

I don't got time

for this sh*t.

We'll find somebody

that'll talk to us

and tell you why

you're here, all right?

Get her outta here.

I'll start her 61.

Elmhurst, can I help you?

Yeah. I'm just

looking for a patient

who's currently

in the hospital.

I'm just checking

to see if he's okay.

Name, please.

Nikolas. Nikolas Nikas.

N-I-K-A-S.

N-I-K-A-S.

Do you have a floor

or wing or something?

No. No, I don't know anything.

All right, please hold.

Hello?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I'm unable to release

any information

regarding that inmate.

Why not? I'm a family member.

Like I said, I'm not allowed

to release or to disclose

any information about...

Yo!

- Yo!

- Yeah.

We're leavin'.

Yo, are we good, man?

Are they gone?

Yo, wait up!

Let me in.

You have the acid?

Yeah.

Get in the back.

I gotta get

to a f***ing phone, man.

I gotta warn my family.

If they call that f***ing

stupid girl's number back...

If she's with the cops,

then I'm f***ed, bro.

They might trick my mom

into saying something stupid,

like I...

Like I called her earlier.

F***, man.

Lay down.

We're going to his house.

Lay down.

Make yourself invisible.

- What apartment?

- 12B.

Hello?

Hello?

Hey.

Come here.

Smell the coat.

Smell the coal.

Smell that. Go on.

You smell it? You smell it?

Come here, come here.

Come on.

...getting $46 million

in funding for

upgraded infrastructure.

...35,000 feet of new sewers,

water mains, and sidewalks.

Sh*t, that's what

I'm talking about.

Man, this is a nice

f***ing place.

I wish I had

a f***ing place like this.

How much money

can you get for this

-right now, tonight?

-What?

For the acid. Who can you call

to get some money for this

right now tonight?

I want to move it right now.

That doesn't belong to me.

That belongs

to my boy, Caliph.

Well, then he can

pay me for it.

F*** that, man.

I'm the one who found it.

Not you.

You wouldn't have found

anything without me.

You were handcuffed

to a bed in a hospital.

What do you think

I'm doing this for?

You think I'm doing this

for charity?

All right. You're right.

You got a point. I hear you.

Listen. My boy

will hook you up.

He'll throw some

money your way.

But, my point is,

it's not up to me.

I gotta call him, all right?

-It's not up to me.

-You're right.

It's not up to you.

So get on the phone

and call him right now.

Plug the phone in. Charge it.

And give me a minute.

It doesn't need to be charged.

I want to relax

for a minute, man.

It's been a long

f***ing night, you know.

I don't give a f***

if you want to relax.

You gotta get on the phone

right now, and you gotta

make sure it's plugged

into the wall 'cause

-otherwise it doesn't work.

-Give me a minute, bro.

Goddamn.

Call him now.

A Bronx man is

facing animal cruelty charges.

Officials say an anonymous tip

about emaciated dogs prompted

an investigation

by law enforcement.

They will soon

be available for adoption.

Now an update

on last week's

bank robbery in Flushing.

Authorities are still

searching for

Constantine Nikas, suspected

of carrying out the robbery

along with his brother.

Nikolas Nikas was arrested

near the scene

after crashing through

a plate-glass window

at the New World Mall.

He's currently being held

at the Queens Detention Center

awaiting a court appearance.

Today the brothers'

grandmother is speaking out...

So how much time

are you facing?

She joins us now from Flushing

with the details.

Come on, man, look at me.

...one exclusive,

Agapia Nikas...

I don't care.

I don't give a f***.

I know your situation

can't be worse than mine.

Everybody goes through sh*t.

I'm the last one to judge.

She blames him for

an altercation with Nikolas

that left her

with a broken arm.

You ever do time before?

F***ing kidding me?

Just asking you

a question.

Why you gotta be such

a f***in' little prick

all the time, man?

Look at you.

Look at you.

You're drunk as sh*t,

and now you wanna

get real with me?

Don't f***ing

flatter yourself, bro.

Huh?

I'm not trying

to get real with you.

You know what?

I'm f***ing real.

F***.

I'm trying to

talk to you, all right?

Go f*** yourself, man.

You think

you're better than me.

I am better than you.

You're an ignorant f***, bro.

No one's better than

any next man, all right?

You don't know me from Adam.

The second you got here,
