Hey, Carl. One Judas for another.
Episode 7
Having believed the worst is over after the death of Cronell Stokes, Luke and Claire go for a walk in Marcus Garvey Park (also referred to by Claire in the next episode as its original name, Mount Morris Park). This is just before Luke is shot with a Judas bullet by his estranged half-brother, Willis Stryker, aka Diamondback.
The action in the park extends over two episodes, the end of episode 7 and the beginning of episode 8. The sequences for episode 7 were all shot along the Harlem Run Plaza in the real Marcus Garvey Park, as evidenced by the signage behind Claire early in the sequence. For the continuation of the sequence at the beginning of the following episode, a subsequent location was used.

Episode 8
At the beginning of episode 8, Claire gets Luke loaded into an ambulance as Stryker watches from his Humvee outside the park, eventually following the wounded Cage.
Locating this park took some doing, after mistakenly assuming it was also filmed at Marcus Garvey. This initial shot of Stryker’s Humvee parked outside the gate was filmed at the Harlem River Park, with the camera looking through the gate from the playground towards W 189th Street.

The two following shots of Stryker in his Humvee, watching the ambulance, and then driving away, were also filmed outside Harlem River Park. These were filmed at the corner of Laurel Bridge Terrace and Amsterdam Avenue.
