The Poor Door

Danny and Maria investigate the death of Bobby Torres, a resident of the "poor" section of an otherwise upscale apartment building. Maria notes that, to get permits approved faster, developers sometimes offer to allocate 20 percent of a building to low-income housing. It is revealed that Bobby, a young school teacher, was dating Rada, whose father Ivan, a wealthy Russian immigrant, rents the building's penthouse. While Ivan has an alibi for the night of Bobby's murder, video surveillance shows him nodding to an unknown man in the lobby that same day. Rada is shocked when she views the video and recognizes the man as someone who once worked for her father. Jamie and Eddie arrive on the scene of an armed robbery, and get involved in a shootout that injures both a fellow officer and a perp named Wally. Though Wally was unarmed, he is arrested for the robbery attempt and cuffed to his hospital bed. Eddie and Jamie play a game of "bad cop/worse cop", but cannot get Wally to reveal where the shooter might be hiding. After a doctor confirms that Wally will likely die from sepsis caused by the bullet wound, however, he finally confides in Jamie, who in turn offers to help locate Wally's estranged mother before he dies. Elsewhere, Detective Weams, a former colleague of Gormley's, has been photographed by the Daily News driving a $300,000 Ferrari. It appears that Weams has been using his knowledge of what drug houses will be hit to purchase the properties soon after and flip them. What Gormley views as "savvy", Frank views as "shady". It isn't until Gormley visits a family in a shelter that was displaced by one of Weams' schemes that he changes his mind about his former partner.
