NYPD Blue (1993–2005): Season 11, Episode 17 - In Goddess We Trussed - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY ON "NYPD BLUE"...

YOU'VE HAD IT
OUT FOR ME SINCE DAY ONE,

AND THE HELL IF I'M
GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!

SO WHEN STAN'S UNCLE
CALLS AGAIN,

I'LL JUST RING HIM
THROUGH TO YOU.

YOU ACTUALLY THINK
THAT MEANS ANYTHING TO ME?

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR‐‐
FIND A NEW HOME,

'CAUSE I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU
PUT A STINK ON THIS SQUAD.

IF ANYBODY'S DUE
FOR A CHANGE OF VENUE, IT'S YOU.

WHAT DID HATCHER'S WIFE
SAY ABOUT HIM?

HE ACCUSED HER
OF HAVING AN AFFAIR,



AND SHE ADMITTED TO IT.

HOW SOON AFTER SHE TOLD YOU THIS
DID SHE TURN UP DEAD?

THREE DAYS.

I GUARANTEE YOU
HATCHER KILLED HIS WIFE.

SIPOWICZ, COULD YOU COME
INTO THE OFFICE?

CLOSE THE DOOR.

YOU GONNA PACE ALL DAY?

THE DEPARTMENT'S BEEN CHARGED
WITH BEEFING UP PATROLS,

SO THEY HAVEN'T BEEN
BACKFILLING THE BUREAU

LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO.

YOU SEE WHERE I'M
GOING WITH THIS?
NO.

BECAUSE OF THE PATROL
ALLOCATIONS,

SOME SQUADS ARE COMING UP SHORT
MANPOWER‐WISE.

SO TO EQUALIZE IT OUT,



THEY GOTTA MOVE
SOME GUYS AROUND.

AND WE GOT
TO GIVE UP A GUY,

AND THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME
A CHOICE AS TO WHO,

SO DON'T GO
GRIPING AT ME.
WHO IS IT, EDDIE?

YOU‐‐
YOU'RE TRANSFERRED

TO MISSING PERSONS
AT THE MORGUE.

I'M TRANSFERRED?

THE BUREAU DIDN'T
GIVE ME A CHOICE,

SO THERE'S NOTHING
I CAN DO ABOUT IT.

SO SPARE
THE DISCUSSION.

YOU'RE SERIOUS?

THE DAY‐TOUR GUY
AT THE MORGUE'S NAMED DORLAN.

HE'S EXPECTING YOU.

DON'T MAKE THIS HARDER
THAN IT'S GOTTA BE.

THIS COME
FROM CHIEF OF PERSONNEL,

HATCHER'S UNCLE,
YOUR BUDDY?

IT CAME FROM ONE P. P.

FROM HATCHER'S UNCLE
OFF A CALL FROM HATCHER,

AND YOU KNOW IT,
AND YOU JUST FOLDED!

YOU DUG THIS GRAVE,
NOT ME.

YOU REMEMBER HOW I SAID
A TIME WOULD COME

WHEN YOU'D NEED TO SHOW
HOW YOU GOT SPINE?

YOU COULD HAVE LEFT
WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

YOU COULD HAVE WORKED
YOUR CASES.

NOW'S THAT TIME, EDDIE.

HIS UNCLE IS
THE CHIEF OF PERSONNEL.

ANDY, I'M SORRY.

[ SIGHS ]

WHAT'S UP?

I'M BEING TRANSFERRED...
TO THE MORGUE.

OH, MY GOD!

ON ACCOUNT OF WHAT?

SOMETHING ABOUT FUNDING
AND MANPOWER.

THAT'S A LOAD
OF BULLSHIT.

YEAH, WELL,
THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT.

I'LL BE BACK
FOR MY LOCKER.

ANDY...

WHAT THE HELL
JUST HAPPENED?

Hatcher: UNREAL‐‐

THE GUY'S LIKE A LEGEND
AROUND HERE.

UNREAL.

ANDY SIPOWICZ.

IT'S OKAY.
CAN I HELP YOU?

YEAH,
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU

ABOUT THIS TRANSFER
DOWN TO THE MORGUE.

THEY'VE BEEN HAVING SOME
PROBLEMS ON THE NIGHT TOUR.

THEY NEED A GUY
THAT'S GOT SOME EXPERIENCE.

THAT'S ABOUT ALL THERE IS
TO TALK ABOUT.

YOUR NEPHEW DOESN'T
BELONG ON THE JOB.

TRANSFERRING ME OUT
ISN'T GONNA CHANGE THAT.

THIS IS ABOUT NEEDING A GUY
IN THE MORGUE.

IT SOUNDS LIKE
YOU GOT A BEEF WITH STAN.

MAYBE A CHANGE OF SCENERY
WOULD BE GOOD FOR YOU.

HE'S A BAD COP.
YOU'RE PROTECTING A BAD COP.

YOU SHOULD LEAVE NOW.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
FINE.

YOU NEED ME,
I'LL BE AT THE MORGUE,

'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT DRIVING ME
OFF THE JOB‐‐ NO WAY.

HEY, YOU SIPOWICZ?

DORLAN?

THAT'S ME!
BUT IT'S WALLY.

WELCOME
TO CENTRAL CONTROL.

THIS IS YOUR DESK.
THIS IS MINE.

YEAH, LOOK...
CELL PHONES WORK DOWN HERE?

HARDLY.

'CAUSE I'M EXPECTING A CALL,
SO I'M GONNA STEP OUT.

YOU JUST GOT HERE.

BESIDES, WE'RE GETTING A GUEST
IN A FEW MINUTES‐‐

HOMELESS, D.O.A.
I'LL BE BACK.

IT'S THE SMELL.
AM I RIGHT?

I'M JUST GONNA HEAD OUT
FOR A LITTLE BIT.

NO, REALLY, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED
TO LEAVE DURING A TOUR.

THAT AND BEING ON TIME
ARE THE KEYS TO THIS PLACE.

OH, AND ALWAYS ANSWER
ON THE SECOND RING.

YOU ANSWER ON THE FIRST,

THEY THINK YOU
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO DO.

ANSWER ON THE THIRD,
THEY THINK YOU'RE BEING LAZY.

SECOND RING.

I'M TELLING YOU, SIP,
I'VE BEEN HERE 16 YEARS,

AND I GOT IT DOWN
TO A SCIENCE.

YOU LIKE PASTRIES,
DORLAN?

I'LL BRING YOU SOME
RIGHT AFTER I GET THE CALL.

YEAH, OKAY, ALL RIGHT.

I'LL SEE YOU IN, WHAT,
FIVE MINUTES? TEN?

D.O.A. IS MOLLY ZIFFREN.

NEIGHBOR SAW THE DOOR AJAR
AND LOOKED IN.

THAT'S THE WEAPON.

DUFFY SAID HE SAW SIPOWICZ
WALKING OUT WITH A MOVING BOX.

THAT TRUE?

YEAH.
NEIGHBOR KNOW THE GIRL?

SAID SHE WAS
A MASSAGE THERAPIST.

SO WHAT'S UP
WITH SIPOWICZ?

TRANSFERRED‐‐
IT JUST CAME DOWN.

WHAT ELSE DID
THE NEIGHBOR SAY?

THE GIRL SAW CLIENTS
IN THE APARTMENT.

I ASKED, "WAS IT LEGIT,
OR WAS SHE A..." YOU KNOW.

BUT THE NEIGHBORS SAID
IT WAS LEGIT THERAPY.

YEAH,
I'LL START A CANVASS.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL THIS

ABOUT BEEFING UP PATROL
OR BACKFILLING THE BUREAU.

ME EITHER, GREG.
LET'S JUST WORK THE CASE.

YEAH, SURE.

ADDRESS BOOK IS OPEN UP

TO A DR. KLEINER,
PSYCHOLOGIST.

LOOKS LIKE THE D. O. A.
WAS WRITING DOWN THE NUMBER.

DOOR'S LOCKED.

SUPER DIDN'T HAVE A KEY.

I'LL CALL THE S.U.
TO GAIN ENTRY.

SOMEBODY WANT TO BRING US
UP TO SPEED?

STILL FIGURING IT OUT,
STAN.

Jones:
CHECK THIS OUT.

WONDER IF THE NEIGHBORS
KNEW ABOUT THIS.

GOT SOME SICK PUPPIES
OUT THERE.

[ CELL PHONE RINGS ]

HELLO?

WE'LL GET THIS
WORKED OUT, ANDY.

SCREW 'EM.
LISTEN‐‐

I'M GONNA MEET UP WITH HATCHER'S
OLD PARTNER AGAIN,

GET INTO MORE DETAIL
ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON

WHEN HATCHER'S WIFE
WAS KILLED.

WHAT CAN I DO?
I'M GONNA BE LOOKING
AT INFORMANTS

OR ANY SKELS THAT HATCHER
HAD IN HIS LIFE BACK THEN‐‐

ANYBODY THAT COULD HAVE
HELPED HIM PLANT THAT CAR BOMB.

WHEN YOU GET THE NAMES,
CALL ME.

JUST TELL GIBSON
YOU NEED SOME LOST TIME.

WHEN YOU DEAL WITH HATCHER,
JUST PLAY EVERYTHING OFF.

I DON'T WANT THAT DICKHEAD
HAVING A CLUE.

YOU GOT IT.

I'LL BE IN TOUCH.

THANKS FOR MEETING ME,
CARL.

YEAH.

SO YOU'RE REALLY
GOING AFTER STAN?

ABSOLUTELY.

THESE ARE COPIES
OF THE ARREST RECORDS

FOR WHEN ME
AND STAN WERE PARTNERS,

PLUS A LIST
OF OUR INFORMANTS.

DID HE ALSO KEEP
HIS OWN INFORMANTS?

YEAH, MORE UNREGISTERED
THAN REGISTERED,

BUT NO ONE GAVE HIM
ANY FLAK ABOUT IT

BECAUSE EVERYONE KNEW WHO
STAN'S UNCLE WAS, NUMBER ONE.

AND NUMBER TWO,

HE DID COME UP
WITH SOME GOOD INFORMATION.

DID THEY GO AT HIM AT ALL
WHEN HIS WIFE WAS KILLED?

NAH, THE DEPARTMENT
BOUGHT THE THEORY

THAT STAN WAS
THE INTENDED TARGET,

SO THEY CONCENTRATED ON IT
BEING A GANG HIT.

ANYTHING ELSE
THAT COULD HELP ME OUT?

WHAT YOU DO
HAVE GOING FOR YOU

IS I DON'T THINK
A LOT OF STAN'S INFORMANTS

WERE EVER APPROACHED
BY INVESTIGATORS.

IT'S BEEN EIGHT YEARS,

SO MAYBE SOME OF THEM
ARE READY TO TALK.

ALL RIGHT,
I APPRECIATE YOU HELPING ME.

HEY, LISTEN, ANDY...

I'M DOING THIS FOR MARCY.

I REALLY LOVED HER.

I WAS GONNA LEAVE MY WIFE,
SHE WAS GONNA LEAVE STAN,

AND WE WERE
GONNA BE TOGETHER.

YEAH.
I'VE HAD TO LIVE
WITH THE GUILT

THAT HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH ME
MAY HAVE GOT HER KILLED.

WELL, I'M GONNA DO
EVERYTHING I CAN

TO MAKE SURE THAT STAN
FACES CHARGES, BELIEVE ME.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

THANK YOU.

THAT WAS DUNCAN KLEINER,

THE DOCTOR WHOSE NUMBER
THE D. O. A. WROTE DOWN.

I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE STILL PRETTY
SHOCKED OVER ANDY AND ALL.

WHAT DID THE DOC SAY?

MOLLY ZIFFREN
WAS A PATIENT.

SHE NEVER MENTIONED ANYONE
WHO WAS A THREAT.

ANYTHING PAST THAT, HE SAID,
WAS PRIVILEGED INFORMATION.

PAIN IN THE BALLS.

AND I GOT TERA WORKING
ON THE D. O. A.'s E‐MAILS.

WE'LL SEE
IF ANYTHING POPS.

RITA, ANYTHING?

SHE WAS WORKING THROUGH
THE D. O. A.'s ADDRESS BOOK.

FRIEND OF THE D. O. A.
SAID THE GIRL

WAS A FULL‐TIME DOMINATRIX

AND THAT SHE'D RECENTLY
GONE SOLO FROM A DUNGEON.

LEFT THE DUNGEON
ON GOOD TERMS OR...?

THERE WAS SOME
BAD TENSION WITH THE OWNER.

MAYBE THEY COULDN'T
WORK IT OUT WITH BULLWHIPS,

SO THE OWNER
CRACKED HER ONE.

ADDRESS FOR THE OWNER‐‐
HER NAME'S PAULETTE VOZE.

SOUNDS LIKE
A PLACE TO START.

YOU GUYS TAKE THIS, WE'LL KEEP
WORKING THE ADDRESS BOOK.

WHAT, YOU CALLING
THE SHOTS NOW?

JUST A SUGGESTION.

WE'LL TAKE THE DOM CHICK.
I DON'T CARE.

NO, WE GOT HER.

JOHN?
I'LL BE ON THE AIR.

CLARK, YOU GOT A SEC?

HEY, I JUST WANT TO BE
UP FRONT WITH THIS.

I GOT NO BEEF WITH YOU.

SAME HERE.

ME AND SIPOWICZ‐‐

NO NEED TO BE COY, RIGHT?

HE HAD A HARD‐ON FOR YOU,

WHICH I DIDN'T APPROVE OF,
BUT THAT'S HIS DEAL.

ALL I KNOW IS I GOT A LOT
OF YEARS LEFT ON THIS JOB.

I'M NOT LOOKING
TO MAKE ANY ENEMIES.

WE'RE STRAIGHT,
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.

GOOD TO HEAR.

YOU KNOW, ALONG THOSE LINES,
ME AND ORTIZ...

NOT HITTING IT OFF?

YEAH, BIG SHOCKER, RIGHT?

SHE'S NICE ENOUGH,

BUT SHE'S NOT, YOU KNOW,
ONE OF THE GUYS.

I HEAR YOU.

SO WHAT DO YOU SAY?

I'M THINKING ME AND YOU‐‐

WE COULD KICK
SOME SERIOUS ASS TOGETHER.

I THINK SO, TOO.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
NOT RIGHT AWAY.

WOULDN'T WANT IT
TO GET BACK TO ANDY

UNTIL HE HAS TIME
TO GET OVER THIS.

YEAH, I'M NOT LOOKING TO DANCE
ON ANYBODY'S GRAVE HERE.

DOWN THE ROAD A LITTLE BIT,
HELL, YEAH.

RIGHT ON.

I'LL GET AT YOU LATER.

YES?

WE'RE LOOKING
FOR PAULETTE VOZE.

SHE'S BUSY.

Voze:
WHO'S THERE, TOILET?!

POLICE.

I CAN'T BE ANY QUIETER.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

THIS ISN'T
ABOUT THE NOISE.

WE DON'T CARE ABOUT HOW YOU
PAY THE BILLS, SO LET US IN.

GO CLEAN THE BATHROOM
WITH YOUR FACE.

DO YOU KNOW A WOMAN
NAMED MOLLY ZIFFREN, MISS VOZE?

YES,
I KNOW MOLLY ZIFFREN.

WHEN'S THE LAST TIME
YOU SAW HER?

A MONTH AGO.
ANY HOSTILITY
BETWEEN YOU?

WHY?

MOLLY'S APARTMENT
GOT RIPPED OFF.

[ LAUGHS ]
ME STEAL FROM HER?

THAT GIRL DOES NOT STOP!

MEANING WHAT?

[ TOILET FLUSHES ]
UP TILL A MONTH AGO I RAN
A PLACE CALLED "THE IRON HEEL."

MOLLY WAS MY TOP GIRL,
BUT SHE GOT BIGHEADED ABOUT IT,

AND TOOK OFF WITH ALL
OF HER CLIENTS AND MOST OF MINE.

IT SHUT ME DOWN.

I'D SAY IT'S A GOOD PLACE
TO START A GRUDGE.

I HAVE OTHER WAYS OF WORKING OUT
MY AGGRESSIONS.

THEFT ISN'T ONE OF THEM.

WHERE WERE YOU THIS MORNING,
6:00 A. M. ON?

HERE. SLAVE WAS WATCHING ME
FROM THE DOG CAGE.

SLAVE!

WHERE WAS GODDESS
AT 6:00 THIS MORNING?

SLEEPING.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

SPEAK!

BERNARD [CLEARS THROAT]
WESTLEY.

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE
ANY REASON

TO LIE FOR THE GODDESS HERE,
BERNARD, WOULD YOU?

'CAUSE WE'RE GONNA
LOOK INTO YOU.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA
TELL MY FIRM‐‐

STOP SPEAKING.

WHAT DID MOLLY GET STOLEN

THAT'S GOT YOU
SO RILED UP ANYWAY?

ACTUALLY, NOTHING WAS STOLEN,
MISS VOZE.

MOLLY ZIFFREN
WAS MURDERED THIS MORNING.

WHOA!
I'M OUTTA HERE.

TAKE ONE MORE STEP,
WE'LL CUFF YOU.

THE HELL WITH THAT.

LOOK, I'M A CRIMINAL
DEFENSE ATTORNEY.

I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING,
AND NEITHER IS SHE.

YOU KNOW,
IF YOU'RE NOT INVOLVED HERE,

THIS IS ONLY
GONNA PROLONG THINGS.

HI.

HELLO.

WALLY DORLAN,
JOHN CLARK.

HE'S HELPING ME OUT
WITH SOMETHING.

OKAY.

'CAUSE YOU COULD TAKE MEAL NOW
IF YOU WANT TO.

NO, I'M WORKING THROUGH.
THIS GUY, DEREK EMERY‐‐

HIS NAME KEEPS COMING UP.

OLD C. I.?

IF HE IS,
HE'S NOT REGISTERED.

HERE HE GOT POPPED
FOR SMACK POSSESSION,

AND HATCHER
WAS HIS FIRST CALL.

THEN OVER HERE
HE'S NAMED AS A WITNESS.

THIS ON ONE
OF THE STIFFS?
SOMETHING ELSE.

GOT A PLACE
TO LOOK FOR THIS GUY?

THE HOME NUMBER
HE GAVE WHEN HE WAS COLLARED

IS A POOL HALL
ON HOUSTON NEAR BROADWAY.

MALONEY'S.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'LL BE IN TOUCH.

YEAH.
THANKS.

WHAT IS IT, DORLAN?

IT'S FROWNED ON‐‐

WORKING CASES
NOT RELATED TO THE STIFFS.

YEAH.
WELL, LET THEM FROWN.

ROBBERY CASE?

HOMICIDE.

WITH A C.I. INVOLVED?

MAYBE.

MAYBE A DIRTY COP
INVOLVED.

IN A HOMICIDE?

MAYBE HIS WIFE.
GET OUT.

HE GOT ME
TRANSFERRED DOWN HERE

'CAUSE I WAS
LOOKING INTO IT.

OKAY, NOW I KNOW
YOU'RE FULL OF IT,

OR JUST PARANOID.

AND IF YOU'RE RUNNING
YOUR SHOW FROM DOWN HERE,

IT'S GONNA KICK UP A LOT OF DUST
ON BOTH OF US.

DORLAN,
I GOT NOTHING TO LOSE,

AND IF YOU REALLY SPENT
16 YEARS DOWN HERE IN THIS PIT,

YOU DON'T, EITHER.

THE MORGUE'S IMPORTANT WORK.

IT AIN'T NAILING
A DIRTY COP.

NOW, I GOT A LOT
TO PLOW THROUGH, SO, UH...

YEAH, WELL, I GOT FILING.

UNLESS, UH...

NAH.

WHAT, WALLY?

WELL, I WOULDN'T MIND

FAMILIARIZING MYSELF
WITH THE CASE,

JUST TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON
IN MY OWN KITCHEN.

DEREK EMERY?

YEAH.

DETECTIVE CLARK,
15th SQUAD.

[ SIGHS ]

REMEMBER STAN HATCHER?
HE'S A COP.

YEAH.

LET ME ASK YOU
ABOUT YOUR SITUATION WITH HIM.

YOU'RE NOT HERE
TO BUST ME?

NO, I NEED YOUR HELP.

[ Chuckling ] DAMN!

I THOUGHT YOU WERE FIXING
TO BRING ME IN.

YOU RUNNING
FROM SOMETHING?

NO, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW
WITH YOU GUYS.

DAMN!

STAN HATCHER‐‐
WHAT WAS YOUR DEAL WITH HIM?

WHAT, HATCHER DO
SOMETHING WRONG?

MAYBE.

SEE, I KNEW IT.
I KNEW IT!

KNEW WHAT?

THAT ONE DAY THAT FOOL
WAS GONNA END UP DEAD

OR ARRESTED BY INTERNAL
WHATEVER THE HELL IT'S CALLED.

HEY, CHASE, REMEMBER
THAT DETECTIVE HATCHER‐‐

HEY, HEY!

WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME
ABOUT YOU AND HATCHER?

[ SIGHS ]

LOOK, HE BUSTED ME
A COUPLE TIMES

BACK WHEN I WAS STILL
MIXED UP IN THAT GANG.

SO OFF THAT, HE KEPT TRYING
TO TURN ME OUT AS HIS INFORMANT,

WHICH I WASN'T
DOWN WITH HIM,

BUT SO AS NOT TO PISS HIM OFF,
I GAVE HIM SOME LAME INFO.

HE GIVES ME
SOME LAME PROMISES.

WE DID THAT LITTLE DANCE.
DIDN'T GO NOWHERE.

WHO WAS HATCHER
RUNNING WITH BACK THEN?

TALKING ABOUT RIGHT AROUND
WHEN HIS WIFE WAS KILLED.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE
LOOKING INTO?

HOW HATCHER'S
WIFE DIED?

MAYBE.

AND YOU'RE NOT THINKING
IT WAS GANG RELATED?

HOW ABOUT YOU QUIT
ASKING QUESTIONS, DEREK?

WELL, THERE WAS
THIS WHITE DUDE,

MID‐LEVEL DEALER,
LIVED IN HELL'S KITCHEN.

HE GOT ARRESTED A WHOLE LOT,
BUT HE NEVER DID NO TIME.

WORD WAS HATCHER
PROTECTED HIM.

WHAT WAS HIS NAME?

"PIG."

BUT I'M PRETTY SURE
THAT'S A NICKNAME.

YOU THINK?

HEY, KEEP YOUR MOUTH
SHUT ABOUT THIS.

I'M NOT TRYING TO GET MIXED UP
WITH HATCHER AGAIN.

CAT'S CRAZY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

LOOKING
FOR SCOTT CALLUM.

SCOTT.

Callum: YEAH?

UP FRONT.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT STAN HATCHER.

HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.

I'M TALKING ABOUT
EIGHT YEARS AGO,

BACK WHEN YOU WERE GOING
BY THE NICKNAME "PIG."

COMING BACK TO YOU NOW?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

HATCHER'S WIFE
DIED FROM A CAR BOMB.

I WANT TO KNOW
WHO PLANTED IT.

IT WAS A RETALIATION HIT FROM
A GANG HE WAS INVESTIGATING.

WE'RE LOOKING AT IT
FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE NOW,

LIKE THAT HATCHER
WAS BEHIND IT.

YEAH, WELL,
THAT'S AN INTERESTING THEORY.

I KNOW YOU WERE IN HATCHER'S
HIP POCKET BACK THEN,

SO YOU ARE GONNA POINT ME
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION,

AND I'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE.
HATCHER STILL A COP?

YEAH.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT HIM OR THE BOMB.

SORRY.
I GOTTA GET BACK TO WORK.

I GUESS SCOTT WANTS ME
TO HAVE ABOUT EIGHT RADIO CARS

COME DOWN HERE
IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS.

WHAT THE HELL, MAN?

I WANT A NAME.

LOOK, I DID MY TIME.

SAVE ALL THAT FOR YOUR MOM.
YOU GIVE ME A NAME,

OR YOUR LIFE IS GONNA START
GOING BACKWARDS IN A HURRY,

STARTING WITH ME
PUTTING THE WORD OUT

THAT YOU WERE A SNITCH
BACK THEN!

EMILIO JUAREZ.

AS FAR AS INFORMANTS GO,
HE'S HATCHER'S BOTTOM BITCH.

NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME.

I DON'T WANT YOU
CALLING HATCHER.

I DON'T WANT YOU
TAKING CALLS FROM HIM.

HAVE A SEAT.

MR. WELKOS,
ARE YOU A CLIENT

OF A DOMINATRIX
NAMED MOLLY ZIFFREN?

I WAS.

HAVE YOU BEEN
SENDING HER E‐MAILS

OVER THE PAST
WEEK AND A HALF?

I DON'T MEAN TO BE RUDE,

BUT WOULD YOU MIND TELLING ME
WHAT THIS IS ABOUT?

"I FEEL HORRENDOUSLY
USED BY YOU.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE ABOVE
THIS KIND OF TREACHERY."

OKAY, YES,
I WROTE THOSE E‐MAILS.

WHAT MADE YOU SO UPSET?

A MISUNDERSTANDING,
WHICH I GOT OVER.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE DANCING
AROUND THIS, MR. WELKOS.

SHE BILLED ME FOR A DATE.

IF YOU'RE A CLIENT,
WHAT'S SO UNUSUAL?

THIS WAS A "DATE" DATE.

I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO START
SEEING EACH OTHER SOCIALLY.

APPARENTLY, I WAS WRONG.

TO THE TUNE OF?

SHE BILLED ME $500
FOR SERVICES RENDERED.

AND THAT'S WHAT
PROMPTED THE E‐MAILS?

IS SHE CALLING THEM
HARASSMENT,

BECAUSE I QUIT WRITING HER
THREE DAYS AGO.

WHERE WERE YOU THIS MORNING
AROUND 6:00 A. M.?

WALKING MY DOG‐‐
THE DOG PARK.

ANYONE SEE YOU
IN THE DOG PARK?

ALL THIS OVER SOME E‐MAILS?

MOLLY ZIFFREN GOT ASSAULTED,
MR. WELKOS.

YOU THINK I ASSAULTED HER?!

SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAD A REASON.

NO, NO WAY.
I WORSHIPPED HER.

BUT WHEN YOU FELL IN LOVE,
SHE WANTED TO KEEP IT BUSINESS.

NOW, THAT'S GOTTA STING.

IT DID,
BUT I GOT OVER IT.

TALK TO MOLLY,

ASK HER IF I'M CAPABLE
OF VIOLENCE.

SHE WAS MURDERED,
MR. WELKOS.

NOW, TELL US WHAT HAPPENED

SO WE CAN WORK
ON YOUR EXPLANATION,

OR WRITE DOWN WHO SAW YOU
IN THE DOG PARK THIS MORNING.

DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ,
15th SQUAD.

EMILIO JUAREZ.

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO SEE ME.
THANK YOU.

SO I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT STAN HATCHER.

YOU'RE NOT HERE
ABOUT MY CASE?

NO.

THEY TOLD ME
YOU WERE NYPD.

I'M HERE TO ASK YOU SOME
QUESTIONS ABOUT STAN HATCHER.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL HELP YOU
IF YOU HELP ME.

WHAT ARE YOU IN FOR,
EMILIO?

INSURANCE FRAUD
AND IDENTITY THEFT,

NEITHER NOR WHICH
I WAS PARTY TO.

BUT AN ILLEGAL SEARCH
OF MY APARTMENT,

AND THEY FIND
50 FAKE I. D.'s

AND LETTERHEAD
FROM A FICTIONAL DOCTOR.

OKAY, THAT PART IS TRUE.
I'LL ADMIT IT,

BUT I DEFY ANYONE TO PROVE
BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT

THAT THOSE WERE MINE.

BUT MY ATTORNEY ADVISES ME
TO PLEAD "NO CONTEST,"

SINCE I'D ONLY GET
A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

I END UP
WITH A 3‐YEAR BIT,

AND I CAN'T GET ANOTHER LAWYER
TO RE‐EXAMINE MY CASE.

I WILL LOOK INTO IT,
BUT LATER, NOT NOW.

NOW OR I AIN'T
HELPING YOU.

LATER, OR I CALL
MY FRIEND IN THE FBI,

WHO WILL TURN THIS OVER
TO THE U. S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE,

AND HE'LL ADD ON
FEDERAL CHARGES.

DO YOU WANT THAT?

NO.

STAN HATCHER‐‐
EIGHT YEARS AGO,

HIS WIFE WAS KILLED
BY A CAR BOMB.

WE'RE LOOKING INTO
THE POSSIBILITY HE WAS INVOLVED.

WHOA!
SERIOUSLY?

YEAH.

I ALWAYS WONDERED
IF HATCHER WAS BEHIND THAT.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT?

I'LL TELL YOU THIS‐‐
TWO DAYS AFTER IT HAPPENED,

I SEE THIS GUY
NAMED FRANKIE LAWRENCE.

FRANKIE'S ANOTHER ONE
OF HATCHER'S BOYS.

FRANKIE WANTS TO BUY
SOME DOPE OFF ME,

WHICH I MAY OR MAY NOT
HAVE SOLD TO HIM.

BUT TO PAY FOR IT,

HE PULLED OUT THIS WAD OF CASH
THAT WOULD CHOKE A HIPPO.

THIS IS A GUY WHO NEVER HAD
MORE THAN 20 BUCKS.

YOU ASK HIM
WHERE HE GOT IT?

YEAH‐‐ HE JUST SMILE AND SAY
HATCHER BEEN GOOD TO HIM.

ON THE GATE!

YOU'RE GONNA LOOK INTO THIS
FOR ME, AREN'T YOU?

I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU,
ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

MINIMUM SECURITY,

WORKING IN THE LIBRARY,
SOMETHING!

EXCUSE ME, MA'AM?

YES?

I'M DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ.

I'M LOOKING
FOR FRANKIE LAWRENCE.

ARE YOU HIS MOTHER?

YES.

I'M NOT TRYING
TO GET FRANKIE IN TROUBLE.

I JUST NEED TO TALK TO HIM.

NOT TRYING TO GET HIM
IN TROUBLE?

THAT'S RIGHT.

BECAUSE ALL YOU COPS
CARE ABOUT HIM SO MUCH.

I MEAN,
YOU'RE HIS BEST FRIEND.

YOU'D NEVER
SCREW HIM OVER.

HE'S GOT YOUR WORD,
RIGHT?

I NEED TO TALK TO YOUR SON.

HE'S DEAD,
YOU SON OF A BITCH.

HE'S IN A PLACE WHERE
YOU CAN'T HARASS HIM ANYMORE.

HOW DID HE DIE?

WHAT DO YOU CARE?

I'M INVESTIGATING A COP

WHO MAY HAVE BEEN
ONE OF THE GUYS

WHO WAS HARASSING YOUR SON.

HE DIED THREE MONTHS AGO.

HOW?

THE DRUGS.

I KNOW THIS IS A VERY
DIFFICULT TIME FOR YOU,

BUT DID FRANKIE EVER MENTION
A COP NAMED STAN HATCHER?

[ Crying ] NO!

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
THAT WE TRY TO‐‐

PARDON ME, BOSS,

BUT I JUST DON'T
UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC

OF SENDING A FIRST‐GRADE
DETECTIVE TO WORK IN THE MORGUE.

THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME
A CHOICE, MEDAVOY.

IT'S A DUMPING GROUND
FOR DEAD WOOD.

WERE YOU GUYS
NOT WORKING A CASE?

YEAH, THERE'S NO RECORD
OR WARRANT FOR PAULETTE VOZE,

THE DOMINATRIX OUR D.O.A.
USED TO WORK FOR,

OR FOR HER LAWYER/SLAVE
BERNARD WESTLEY.

HOW ABOUT THIS YAHOO WELKOS,
THE ONE WALKING HIS DOG?

WE'RE STILL RUNNING
THE NAMES HE GAVE US.

ALL ANSWERING MACHINES.

Medavoy: A GUY CAN TOLERATE
SIX MONTHS IN THE MORGUE

BEFORE THE FORMALDEHYDE STINK
ROTS YOUR BRAIN OUT.

ORTIZ, ANY PROGRESS?

WELKOS GOT A TICKET
FOR ALTERNATE SIDE

A BLOCK AWAY FROM THE D. O. A.'s
APARTMENT BUILDING

EARLY THIS MORNING.
WHERE'S WELKOS NOW?

WE LET HIM GO TO WORK.

YEAH,
WE'LL GET HIM BACK IN.

BOSS, I GOT AN INTERVIEW

ON THAT GAS‐STATION
ROBBERY LAST WEEK.

TAKE A RADIO.

CLARK?

TWO SECONDS.

I JUST GOT A CALL
FROM AN OLD INFORMANT OF MINE.

HE TOLD ME SIPOWICZ CAME BY
HIS WORK ASKING ABOUT ME,

ASKING ABOUT
THE CIRCUMSTANCES

UNDER WHICH
MY WIFE WAS KILLED.

YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?
FIRST I'VE HEARD.

IT'S BAD ENOUGH HE'S STEPPING
ON MY WIFE'S MEMORY,

BUT TO TRY AND IMPLICATE ME?

I'VE NEVER BEEN
SO PISSED IN MY LIFE!

HE'S LASHING OUT 'CAUSE HE
THINKS YOU GOT HIM TRANSFERRED.

I DID GET HIM TRANSFERRED.
YOU TELL HIM THAT.

I'LL PASS IT ALONG.

AND YOU ALSO TELL HIM
THAT IF HE THINKS

WORKING LATE TOURS AT THE MORGUE
IS AS LOW AS HE CAN GO,

HE'S GOT ANOTHER
THING COMING.

HEY, STAN, RELAX.
HE'LL GET USED TO WORKING THERE.

EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.

HE STOPS
WITH THOSE RUMORS TODAY.

YOU TELL HIM THAT.

ALL RIGHT.

I NEED TO KNOW RIGHT NOW,

IF THINGS GET HOT AROUND HERE,
WHO YOU BACKING UP?

I'M WITH YOU, MAN.

[ SIGHS ]

UH‐HUH.

YEAH.
NO, THAT'S GOOD.

HATCHER'S HIP.

ONE OF THE GUYS MUST HAVE
DROPPED THE DIME.

HATCHER GET IN YOUR FACE?

YEAH, TO CONFIRM
MY LOYALTY TO HIM.

WON'T LAST‐‐
HE'S GONNA FIND OUT.

ON THE PHONE!

YOU GOT HIM
GOOD AND SCARED,

BUT HE'S THROWING OUT
A LOT OF THREATS.

IF HE GETS CLOSE TO YOU,
YOU'RE BACKING OFF.

HELL, NO!

THERE'S PLENTY OF OPEN DESKS
DOWN HERE, JOHN.

I DON'T CARE.

I APPRECIATE IT.

HEY, WAS IT NOT OBVIOUS

THAT I'M TRYING TO HAVE
A CONVERSATION?

DID YOU GET SOMETHING?

I'VE BEEN CLAWING
THROUGH BACKGROUND

ON YOUR O. D.,
FRANKIE LAWRENCE.

TURNS OUT HE CONTACTED

A TOTAL OF 8 DIFFERENT PEOPLE
ON 17 ARRESTS.

SO I RAN THOSE NAMES PAST
A BUDDY OF MINE AT THE FBI.

TURNS OUT THAT ONE OF THE GUYS
LAWRENCE CALLED

HAS MILITARY EXPERIENCE.

AS WHAT?

ORDINANCE EXPERT
IN AN ARMORED BATTALION.

HE CLEARED LAND MINES.

BOMB GUY.

YEAH, JERRY TOBACK.
LIVES ON RIDGE STREET.

GOOD WORK, DORLAN.

JERRY TOBACK?

YEAH.

SIPOWICZ AND CLARK,
15th SQUAD.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WE NEED TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT FRANKIE LAWRENCE.

OKAY.

YOU WERE FRIENDS, RIGHT?

WERE, YEAH,
BUT NOT FOR THREE, FOUR YEARS.

YOU TWO
HAVE A FALLING OUT?

YEAH.

OVER...?

HE MADE A MOVE
ON A GIRL OF MINE.

TOLD HER A BUNCH
OF BAD THINGS ABOUT ME

SO HE COULD
GET INTO HER PANTS.

THAT WAS IT.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE.

BUT EIGHT YEARS AGO,
YOU TWO WERE TIGHT?

THAT'S RIGHT.

WHEN FRANKIE WAS WORKING
WITH A COP NAMED STAN HATCHER.

YEAH.

BACK WHEN HATCHER'S WIFE
WAS KILLED WITH A CAR BOMB.

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS
DOING HERE AGAIN?

LOOKING TO FIND OUT IF FRANKIE
HELPED WITH THAT BOMB.

THAT'S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD
BE ASKING FRANKIE.

WE WOULD IF HE WAS
STILL ALIVE.

FRANKIE O. D.'d
THREE MONTHS AGO.

COPS HAVE BEEN
INVESTIGATING THAT CAR BOMB

AS A RETALIATION
FROM ONE OF THE GANGS,

BUT NOW THAT WE KNOW

THAT HATCHER AND HIS WIFE
WERE HAVING PROBLEMS,

WE'RE LOOKING
AT IT DIFFERENT.

WHICH IS WHY YOUR MILITARY
BACKGROUND GOT RED‐FLAGGED,

IN PARTICULAR,
YOUR TRAINING IN EXPLOSIVES.

I WANT CONFIRMATION
THAT FRANKIE'S DEAD.

CALL HIS MOM‐‐
CARLA LAWRENCE, STATEN ISLAND.

SHE'S LISTED.
GO AHEAD.

NOW'S THE TIME, JERRY.
FRANKIE'S GONE.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE
JAMMING HIM UP.

AND DO YOU REALLY
WANT TO SIT BACK

KNOWING THAT A COP GOT AWAY
WITH KILLING HIS WIFE?

ADMITTING
TO SOMETHING LIKE,

OH, I DON'T KNOW,
THAT I BUILT A BOMB

FOR FRANKIE LAWRENCE
EIGHT YEARS AGO‐‐

THAT WOULDN'T EXACTLY
BE GOOD FOR ME CAREER‐WISE,

ESPECIALLY NOW
THAT I'M TRYING

TO GET BACK VISITATION
WITH MY SON.

IF THIS WAS A REGULAR
INVESTIGATION,

THERE'S NOT MUCH
I COULD PROMISE YOU.

BUT I'M IN A JACKPOT HERE
BECAUSE OF STAN HATCHER.

MY CAREER IS ON THE LINE.

SO YOU BELIEVE ME
WHEN I TELL YOU

I WILL HELP YOU GET
YOUR VISITATION BACK,

AND YOU WILL NOT DO A DAY

FOR MAKING THAT BOMB
EIGHT YEARS AGO.

I KNEW THIS WOULD
GO DOWN ONE DAY.

WILL YOU HELP ME?

YEAH.
WHAT THE HELL?

HOW DO YOU KNOW
FRANKIE LAWRENCE?

WE WERE FRIENDS‐‐
ROOMMATES FOR A WHILE.

DID THE NAME STAN HATCHER
EVER COME UP?

YEAH, FRANKIE TOLD ME

HE BASICALLY WORKED FOR HATCHER
AS AN INFORMANT.

DID FRANKIE COME TO YOU

WITH A REQUEST
FOR AN EXPLOSIVES DEVICE?

YEAH, A CAR BOMB.

DID YOU MAKE IT FOR HIM?

YEAH,
A PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE

THAT WAS SET UP
TO BE RIGGED TO THE STARTER.

WHICH YOU KNEW HOW
TO PUT TOGETHER HOW?

FROM MY
MILITARY TRAINING.

DID FRANKIE EVER SAY
WHAT THE BOMB WAS FOR?

NO.

DID HE EVER TELL YOU

IT WAS USED
ON STAN HATCHER'S WIFE?

NO, BUT IT WAS
KIND OF OBVIOUS.

EVERY TIME
IT CAME ON THE NEWS,

HE'D CHANGE THE CHANNEL
AND JUST GIVE ME THIS LOOK.

DID YOU INSTALL
THE CAR BOMB?

NO.

DID YOU DROP FRANKIE OFF
AND SEE HIM INSTALL IT?

NO.

SO YOU'RE NOT POSITIVE
WHAT IT WAS USED FOR.

I GOT A PRETTY
DAMN GOOD IDEA.

CAN WE TALK OUT HERE
FOR A SEC?

WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE?

HATCHER'S EX‐PARTNER,
WHO CAN TESTIFY

THAT HATCHER'S WIFE
WANTED OUT OF THE MARRIAGE.

AND WHAT ELSE?

DID YOU NOT HEAR
THIS GUY?

HATCHER IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR HIS WIFE GETTING BLOWN UP.

THERE'S NO EVIDENCE CONNECTING
THAT BOMB TO HATCHER.

THIS DOESN'T QUALIFY
FOR A CIRCUMSTANTIAL CASE?

THERE'S NO DIRECT
ADMISSIONS.

THERE'S NOT EVEN
HEARSAY EVIDENCE.

I COULDN'T PROVE THIS CASE

AGAINST AN ORGANIZED
CRIME FIGURE.

YOU CAN'T DO
ANYTHING WITH THIS?

HAVE YOU TRACKED DOWN THE FAMILY
OF HATCHER'S WIFE?

THEY COULDN'T HELP.

WE CAN'T PROVE IT.

AT LEAST JUST
CHARGE HATCHER

AND PRESENT IT
TO A GRAND JURY.

LET THEM DECIDE.

I WOULD OPEN UP MY OFFICE
TO LITIGATION,

AS IN WRONGFUL
PROSECUTION.

IT'S JUST GONNA COME ACROSS
AS A PERSONAL VENDETTA.

ARE YOU AWARE OF WHY
I GOT TRANSFERRED?

I KNOW THAT HATCHER
IS RESPONSIBLE

FOR HIS WIFE
GETTING KILLED.

SO, YEAH, I'M TAKING IT
KIND OF PERSONAL.

I CAN'T PROVE IT.
IT'S THAT SIMPLE.

YOU HAVE TO GET MORE.

WE CAN ALWAYS
LEAK IT TO THE PRESS.

THAT'D END UP DOING US
MORE HARM THAN HATCHER.

ALL RIGHT.
WHAT, THEN?

[ SIGHS ]

WE MAY NEED
YOUR HELP ON THIS.

IS THAT GONNA BE A PROBLEM?

HELP LIKE AS IN WHAT?

HELP AS IN STEPPING UP,
GIBSON,

LIKE YOU HAVEN'T DONE
ONCE TODAY.

OUR CAREERS
ARE AT STAKE HERE, GUYS.

EVERYTHING
WE WORKED FOR.

[ DOOR SLAMS ]

I UNDERSTAND
YOUR LIFESTYLE CHANGE

CAME ABOUT RECENTLY‐‐
IS THAT RIGHT, MR. WELKOS?

ONE OF YOUR CO‐WORKERS SAID
YOU MOVED OUT OF YOUR HOUSE

IN CONNECTICUT
THREE MONTHS AGO.

MY WIFE AND I SEPARATED.

SAFE TO SAY
THAT YOU WERE IN THE THROES

OF A MIDLIFE CRISIS?

I CALL IT SELF‐DISCOVERY.

SEE, MOST GUYS GO THROUGH
A MIDLIFE CRISIS,

AND THEY DO STUPID STUFF.

BUY A CONVERTIBLE,
DYE THEIR HAIR,

STEP OUT ON THE WIFE.

TRIVIALIZE IT ALL YOU WANT,

BUT MEETING MOLLY
WAS AN AWAKENING,

AND I AM DEVASTATED
TO HEAR THAT SHE'S DEAD.

BUT MOST GUYS,
AFTER A WHILE,

THEY REALIZE THE VALUE
OF THE FAMILY THEY LEFT BEHIND,

AND THEY GO HOME WITH THEIR TAIL
BETWEEN THEIR LEGS.

WHICH IS ALL GOOD UNLESS
THE WIFE WON'T TAKE HIM BACK.

SO YOU ASK YOUR DOMINATRIX OUT
ON A NORMAL DATE,

HOPING TO GET BACK
SOME OF YOUR NORMAL LIFE.

BUT SHE REJECTS YOU,
AND YOU GET ANGRY.

I DIDN'T KILL MOLLY.

WE GOT YOUR FINGERPRINTS
IN MOLLY ZIFFREN'S APARTMENT.

WE GOT THE E‐MAILS.
I EXPLAINED THOSE.

WE GOT YOUR CAR
PARKED A BLOCK AWAY

AT THE TIME OF THE MURDER!

WHAT CAR?
I DON'T HAVE A CAR.

YOU DON'T DRIVE
A 2002 EXPLORER?

THAT'S NOT
YOUR LICENSE PLATE?

STARING OFF INTO SPACE
ISN'T GONNA MAKE THIS GO AWAY.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT?

I KILLED MOLLY ZIFFREN.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I WENT OVER THERE,
TOLD HER I LOVED HER.

SHE STARTED CALLING ME
THE NAMES.

I SAID,
THIS WASN'T A SESSION.

"TALK TO ME
LIKE A HUMAN BEING."

SHE SLAPPED ME.

THEN SHE WENT FOR HER CANES,

SO I DEFENDED MYSELF.

AND HOW'D YOU KILL HER?

I REALLY DON'T REMEMBER.

I BLACKED OUT.

NEXT THING,
I'M BACK OUT ON THE STREET,

KNOWING THAT I JUST DID
SOMETHING TERRIBLE.

I RUINED MY LIFE FOR HER.

I RUINED...EVERYTHING.

ALL RIGHT.
WE NEED YOU TO WRITE THIS UP.

IS THE BOSS AROUND?

WE'RE GETTING A STATEMENT
FROM KENNETH WELKOS.

HE WENT FOR KILLING
THE DOMINATRIX?

YEAH,
HE'S WRITING IT UP.

'CAUSE I GOT SOMETHING
YOU SHOULD SEE.

WHAT'S UP?

NEED YOU IN HERE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

IT'S PRIVATE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?

YOU NEED
TO HEAR HIM OUT.

THE ONLY REASON WE'RE HAVING
THIS CONVERSATION

IS OUT OF COURTESY
TO GIBSON.

YOU'RE PUSHING
YOUR LUCK, PAL.

WE HAVE
A 5:00 APPOINTMENT

AT THE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE,

AT WHICH POINT

WE'RE GONNA PRESENT
OUR EVIDENCE AGAINST YOU.

WE?
YOU WITH HIM ON THIS?

YOU'RE PRETTY QUICK THERE,
STAN.

WHO MADE THAT CAR BOMB.
WHO PLANTED IT IN YOUR CAR.

HOW YOUR WIFE ADMITTED TO HAVING
AN AFFAIR BEFORE SHE DIED.

WHO SHE WAS HAVING
THE AFFAIR WITH.

HOW SHE WAS SCARED OF YOU.

SEE, WE CAN PROVE YOU ARRANGED
YOUR WIFE'S MURDER.

BUT, LIKE I SAID,
I OWE GIBSON,

AND, APPARENTLY,
HE OWES YOUR UNCLE.

SO HERE'S YOUR OFFER,

WHICH I PERSONALLY
DON'T THINK YOU DESERVE.

YOU PUT IN YOUR PAPERS
BY 5:00.

IF NOT, I TAKE THAT MEETING
AT THE D. A.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THE HELL‐‐

YOU'RE OFF THE JOB
IN AN HOUR,

OR YOU GET CHARGED WITH
CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT MURDER,

NON‐NEGOTIABLE.

I DID WHAT NOW?

YOU HIRED YOUR SNITCH,
FRANKIE LAWRENCE,

TO GET THE CAR BOMB
FOR YOU.

FRANKIE LAWRENCE,
WHO RECENTLY O. D.'d?

WE GOT THE GUY WHO MADE
THE BOMB FOR FRANKIE.

HE KNOWS
ABOUT THE WHOLE THING.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
PROVE IT.

WHOEVER'S WATCHING,

WHOEVER'S LISTENING IN,
PROVE IT!

WE WILL.

YOU AND YOU JUST MADE

THE BIGGEST MISTAKES
IN YOUR LIFE.

HAVE A SEAT,
MRS. WELKOS.

PLEASE, LEE ANN.

LEE ANN, DO YOU KNOW A WOMAN
NAMED MOLLY ZIFFREN?

NO.

SHE'S A DOMINATRIX
WHO WAS KILLED THIS MORNING.

OH, I'M SORRY
TO HEAR THAT.

YOUR HUSBAND
WAS SEEING HER.

WERE YOU AWARE THAT YOUR HUSBAND
WAS INVOLVED WITH A DOMINATRIX?

I SUPPOSE I WAS.

YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND
ARE SEPARATED.

YES.
HE LIVES IN THE CITY.

YOU SEE, THE PROBLEM IS
A 2002 EXPLORER

THAT'S REGISTERED
TO YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND

WAS TICKETED THIS MORNING
NEAR MISS ZIFFREN'S APARTMENT

AROUND THE TIME
OF HER MURDER.

AND WE JUST GOT THE RESULTS
OF THE EXPLORER'S EZ‐PASS USAGE,

AND IT SHOWS THAT THE CAR

WAS BACK AND FORTH
TO CONNECTICUT THIS MORNING.

THAT WOULD INDICATE
THAT YOU DROVE, MA'AM.

DID YOU GO TO MISS ZIFFREN'S
APARTMENT THIS MORNING?

WAS THERE AN ARGUMENT?

I WAS THERE.

WE HAD A CONVERSATION
ABOUT MY HUSBAND,

BUT WHEN I LEFT,
SHE WAS ALIVE AND UNHARMED.

WHAT PROMPTED THE VISIT?

THIS HAD GONE ON
LONG ENOUGH,

AND I FELT IT WAS TIME FOR HER
TO LEAVE KENNETH ALONE,

TO RELEASE HIM
OR TAKE THE SPELL OFF

OR WHATEVER IT WAS SHE WAS DOING
TO JUST STOP.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
"THE SPELL ON HIM"?

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO CALL IT.

BUT SHE HAD TO BE
CONTROLLING HIM SOMEHOW.

YOU DON'T JUST GO
FROM BEING A NORMAL PERSON,

WITH A GOOD JOB,
WHO LOVES HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN,

TO BEING KEPT IN A CAGE
AND WHIPPED.

IT'S...
JUST NOT POSSIBLE.

SO YOU WENT OVER TO TALK,
AND IT TURNED VIOLENT.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

NO, I DON'T KNOW
WHO KILLED HER.

WELL, AT THIS POINT,
NEITHER DO WE.

BUT YOUR HUSBAND
CONFESSED IT WAS HIM.

SO EITHER BOTH OF YOU
WERE INVOLVED,

OR YOUR HUSBAND
FIGURED OUT WHAT HAPPENED

AND COPPED TO IT
TO PROTECT YOU.

YOUR HUSBAND MOVING OUT
AND ASSUMING THIS LIFESTYLE

MUST HAVE BEEN A LOT
TO DEAL WITH,

AND MAYBE WHATEVER
MISS ZIFFREN SAID TO YOU

PUSHED YOU OVER THE EDGE,

BUT WE NEED TO KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED,

OR YOUR HUSBAND'S
GOING TO SPEND

THE REST OF HIS LIFE
IN JAIL FOR IT.

SHE SAID I NEEDED
TO SEE A SHRINK,

THAT I WAS THE ONE
WHO WAS SCREWED UP.

I ASKED HER AGAIN NICELY
TO PLEASE LET MY HUSBAND GO,

BUT SHE JUST
STARTED LAUGHING!

IS THAT WHEN YOU HIT HER
WITH THE STATUE?

KENNETH CALLED LAST NIGHT,
SAYING HE WANTED A DIVORCE.

THIS HAD TO STOP.
SOMEONE HAD TO STOP HER.

WAS YOUR HUSBAND
WITH YOU

IN MISS ZIFFREN'S APARTMENT
THIS MORNING?

NO.

OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.

I JUST WANTED
MY HUSBAND BACK!

[ CRYING ]

HEY, ANDY, YOU BACK?

NO.
JUST STOPPED BY.

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU'RE NOT AROUND.

I WAS JUST ABOUT
TO RUN A CASE FOR YOU.

RUN IT FOR ME.

YEAH, LEE ANN WELKOS
WENT FOR IT.

WE'LL GET WITH THE HUSBAND,
HAVE HIM COME OFF HIS STORY.

HE ADMITTED TO IT
TO TRY AND PROTECT HIS WIFE?

YEAH.

HEY, STAN.

Stan: HEY.

YEAH, SO,
LISTEN UP, EVERYBODY.

I JUST PUT IN MY PAPERS.

YEAH, THIS SECURITY GIG
I'VE BEEN LOOKING INTO

JUST CAME THROUGH.

PLUS, THIS JOB AIN'T
WHAT I JOINED UP FOR ANYMORE,

AND IT'S TIME I MADE
SOME REAL MONEY.

SO JUST LIKE THAT?

YEAH, JUST LIKE THAT.

WE GETTING BEERS
OR ANYTHING?

NO, I'M OUT OF HERE.
SO TAKE IT EASY.

YOU TOO.

I'LL SEE YOU AROUND.

YOU BETTER HOPE NOT.

I'D LIKE TO SAY YOU SET
THE MORGUE RECORD

FOR QUICKEST ESCAPE,

BUT THERE WAS A GUY IN '89
WHO LASTED AN HOUR.

YEAH?

BUT HE DIDN'T GET TRANSFERRED
BACK TO HIS OLD SQUAD.

HE PUT IN FOR RETIREMENT.

SO I GUESS YOU GOT HIM BEAT
ON THAT ONE.

THANKS TO YOU.

YOU FOUND THE GUY
THAT CRACKED IT, WALLY.

YOU WOULD HAVE
GOT TO HIM EVENTUALLY.

YEAH, MAYBE, MAYBE NOT.

BUT YOU FOUND HIM.
I OWE YOU.

PUT ME IN YOUR WILL.

I KNOW SOME PEOPLE THAT CAN
MAYBE GET YOU BACK ON THE SQUAD.

OH, NO.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
I'M FINE HERE.

CATALOGING STIFFS?

SOMEONE'S GOT TO.

YOU COULD BE
WORKING HOMICIDES.

I WAS DOING THAT ONCE,
BUT IT GOT TO ME.

I BOOZED UP PRETTY BAD.

NO, NO.
THIS IS MY SPEED.

YOU'RE A GOOD COP.

THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR.

HEY.

HEY.

SO EVERYTHING'S WORKED OUT,
TRANSFER‐WISE.

GOOD.

I WAS, UH...

I WAS IN A TOUGH SPOT.

AND I DIDN'T
HANDLE IT WELL.

AND I FEEL LIKE
I, UH, REALLY LET YOU DOWN.

YOU DID.

IF YOU WANT ME
TO TRANSFER OUT, I WILL.

YOU GOTTA STAND UP FOR WHAT
YOU BELIEVE IN, GIBSON‐‐

NOT JUST SOME OF THE TIME.

I UNDERSTAND.

WE'LL WORK IT OUT.

THANKS.

YEAH.

I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
