NYPD Blue (1993–2005): Season 2, Episode 22 - A.D.A. Sipowicz - full transcript

TOO MUCH TO ASK THEY KNOW
THE RULES OF THE ROAD‐‐
STARTING, STOPPING.

I KNOW A GUY WHO'LL
FIX THE DENT CHEAP.

THIS WOMAN'S MYSTIFIED‐‐
HOW'D I BANG INTO HER?

OTHERWISE
IT'S THREE HOURS
IN THE POLICE GARAGE.

AH, YEAH.

OH, GREAT.
WHEN DID I GET THIS?

NOODLES?

HEY, LIEU.

HOW YOU DOING, GUYS?

WE ZEROED ON THAT RECANVASS
ON THAT CHINATOWN HOMICIDE.

THOSE PEOPLE TURNED
LOOKING THE OTHER WAY
INTO AN ART FORM.



WHERE YOU TAKING IT?

MAYBE IF WE HAD TANKS
PATROLLING CANAL STREET,

THEY'D THINK
THEY WERE BACK HOME

RIDING THEIR BICYCLES AGAIN,
WEARING THOSE STUPID HATS.

24 MORE HOURS,
HUH, ANDY?

TILL WHAT?

YOUR WEDDING.

YEAH, TOMORROW.
WHAT MADE YOU THINK

ABOUT THAT?

NOTHING. I‐‐I JUST...

SAW SYLVIA COME IN.

KEEP ME POSTED ON
THAT CHINATOWN MURDER.

GOOD MORNING, SYLVIA.

GOOD MORNING.



I'LL GO LOOK
FOR THOSE 61s.

YEAH.
HOW'S IT GOING?

ANDY, WE GOT LUCKY.

REMEMBER
THE INN AT ST. ADOLPHE?

THAT PLACE
IN THE FOREST?

THE LAURENTIAN WILDERNESS.

THE TRAVEL AGENT CALLED.
THERE'S A CANCELLATION.

THEY CAN TAKE US
FOR THREE NIGHTS.

WHAT ABOUT MONTREAL?

I CANCELED.

YOU CANCELED MONTREAL?

OH, ANDY,
I CAN'T WAIT.

WAKING UP WITH THE SUN,
BREATHING PRISTINE AIR,

LISTENING TO THE BIRDS,

NO PHONES,

NO TV...

IS IT NEAR ANYPLACE?

IT BORDERS
A TROUT STREAM.

THEY COOK YOUR CATCH
FOR YOU.

I RAISE FISH.

WELL, UH...
WE'LL HIKE THEN.

WE'LL SEE DEER, MOOSE,
MAYBE EVEN A BEAR.

OH, ANDY, WE'LL BE
COMPLETELY ON OUR OWN.

WE COULD BE ON OUR OWN
IN A CIVILIZED REGION,
TOO, YOU KNOW.

BUT, YEAH, THIS,
UH...

THIS SOUNDS GREAT.
THIS...

IT'S GREAT.

YEAH.

ART.

HEY, REGGIE.

YOU GOT A MINUTE?

WHAT'S THIS? I THOUGHT YOU
WERE WORKING 8:00‐TO‐4:00s?

I'M OFF THE STREET.

I.A.B.'S GOT ME ON
MODIFIED ASSIGNMENT.

COME HERE.

WHAT HAPPENED?

McNAMARA HAD ME
ON A STREET CONDITION,

CRACKING ON GYPSY CABS
WORKING BUS STOPS.

SO I'M OUT THERE‐‐
WRITING TICKETS,
TAKING ALL THIS ABUSE.

SOME HAITIAN DRIVER
COMES INTO THE HOUSE,

SAYS I'M SHAKING DOWN
HIM AND HIS CREW.

McNAMARA MUST KNOW
IT'S BOGUS.

HE PUT YOU THERE.

SAID HIS HANDS WERE TIED.

HAD TO PUT
THE COMPLAINT THROUGH.

CRAP. IF THE GUY
HAD NO CREDIBILITY,

MAC SHOULD'VE
KICKED HIM OUT
OF THE HOUSE.

HE'S LOOKING TO COST ME
MY JOB.

DO YOU KNOW ANYONE
DOWN AT I. A. B.?

IT'S ALREADY LOGGED,
REGGIE.

IF I REACH
OUT DOWN THERE,
IT'LL MAKE THINGS WORSE.

I'LL GO SEE McNAMARA.
I. A. B. WILL
INTERVIEW HIM.

SO IF HE STANDS UP,
THEY'LL STOP IT THERE.

THEN HE WOULDN'T HAVE
PUT IT ON PAPER.

MAYBE HE'S GIVEN YOU
ENOUGH GRIEF.

I GOT TO TAKE THAT?

NO. NO. YOU GOT TO
GET PAST THIS JAM.

THEN YOU GET
OUT OF THERE.

THANKS FOR TRYING
TO HELP ME, MAN.

YEAH.

DON'T WORRY.

I'LL BE GONE A COUPLE HOURS.
BEEP ME IF ANYTHING COMES UP.

YEAH.

MORNING, LIEU.

MORNING.
SORRY. GOT CAUGHT
IN TRAFFIC.

MORNING.

HOW'S IT GOING?
GOOD.

[WOMAN]
WHO CAN I TALK TO...

DETECTIVES, THIS PERSON
SAYS SHE HAS INFORMATION

ON THAT CHINATOWN MURDER.

I'M DETECTIVE
SIPOWICZ.

THIS IS DETECTIVE
SIMONE.

I CAN HELP YOU
WITH THAT DEAD CHINAMAN.

COME ON.
LET'S TALK IN HERE.

[SIPOWICZ]
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

FRANCINE.

AND THE GUY
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR‐‐

RICHIE MORALES.

WHO WOULD THAT BE,
FRANCINE?

SEE THIS EYE? NICE, HUH?

HE'S STAYING
AT MY HOUSE,

SPENDING MY MONEY,
EATING MY FOOD.

THEN I FIND OUT
HE'S SCREWING TENIQUA?

[SIMONE]
TENIQUA?

BLACK BITCH.
WE'D SEE HER AROUND,

AND I JUST KNEW
RICHIE WAS DOING HER.

WOMEN KNOW THAT KIND
OF THING. WE KNOW.

HOW'S THIS RELATE
TO THE HOMICIDE?

I ASKED HIM‐‐
WAS HE SEEING HER?
HE SLUGS ME.

THAT WAS IT. OVER.

I THREW HIS ASS
OUT ON THE STREET.

AND HE GOT EVEN
BY KILLING A CHINAMAN.

THE GUY'S
A SCUMBAG JUNKIE.
NO REGULAR JOB.

SO HE RIPS OFF
THOSE LITTLE
CHINESE GUYS.

TELLS ME HOW
HE BEAT THEM UP

WITH THAT CLUB
OF HIS AND ALL.

THEN I HEARD ABOUT
THAT FONG GUY
GETTING KILLED.

I FOUND THESE

WHEN I WAS THROWING
RICHIE'S STUFF
OUT THE WINDOW.

CREDIT CARDS.
HE MUST'VE STASHED THEM
BECAUSE THEY WERE HOT.

GOT FONG'S NAME ON THEM.

WHERE DOES TENIQUA LIVE,
FRANCINE?

DO YOU KNOW?
HELL, NO.

SO WHERE DO WE
FIND RICHIE?

WHERE HE COPS‐‐
4th AND C,
BY THE PIZZA JOINT.

HIM AND HIS SORRY JONES
WILL BE THERE
EVENTUALLY.

HERE.

THIS IS HIM.

SOMEONE'S CUT OUT
OF THIS PICTURE.

IS THAT YOUR HAND
LINING THE DOPE UP?

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I DIDN'T HAVE TO
COME DOWN HERE.

YOU WANT TO SEE
JUSTICE DONE.

WE APPRECIATE YOU HELPING
US OUT, FRANCINE.

YEAH?
WHEN YOU FIND HIM,

SLAP HIM AROUND
OR SOMETHING.

WANT TO DO A SWEEP
ON RICHIE'S CORNER?

GUY PROBABLY COPPED,
HE'S BANGING
SOME NEW BROAD.

COULD BE A WHILE
BEFORE HE SURFACES.

I'LL BEEP FANCY, TELL HIM
WE'RE DOING A SWEEP.

OTHERWISE
I MIGHT GET DISTRACTED

OUT IN THE PRISTINE
WILDERNESS

WORRYING HOW THIS GUY'S
AT LARGE.

SORRY. THAT WAS
AN IMPORTANT CALL.

NO PROBLEM.

HOW YOU DOING?
GOOD.

LITTLE WORRIED
ABOUT MY BROTHER.

HELL OF A THING, HUH?
THAT HAITIAN MAKING CHARGES.

YEAH. COULD WE TALK
ABOUT THAT SOMEPLACE?

SHAPP! TAKE OVER HERE.

YEAH, SURE.

SO REGGIE SAYS IT'S
ALREADY WITH I. A. B.

TRIED TO FINESSE THE GUY,
BUT HE WAS CRANKED.

KNEW THE PROCEDURE,
INSISTED I PUT IT ON PAPER.

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE
THE 49 ON THIS?

MIND IF I LOOK?

NO PROBLEM.
IT'S RIGHT HERE.

TIME WAS THIS HAITIAN
WOULD'VE BEEN BOOTED
OUT THE DOOR

AND THE COMPLAINT
WOULD'VE HIT THE ROUND FILE.

IT'S A DIFFERENT
DEPARTMENT NOW.

SO REGGIE SAYS HE WAS
TICKETING THESE GYPSIES

ON YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.

A STREET CONDITION.
THEY WERE SOLICITING
AT BUS STOPS.

IT'D BE NATURAL
FOR A CABBY TO TRY
AND GET THE HEAT OFF

FILING A COMPLAINT.

YOU'D HOPE I. A. B.
WILL TAKE THAT
INTO ACCOUNT.

YOU COULD MAKE SURE, MAC.

REGGIE WAS THERE
ON YOUR SAY‐SO.

COMPLAINT SAYS
HE SHOOK THIS GUY DOWN.

NO ONE INSTRUCTED HIM
TO DO THAT.

I DON'T THINK HE DID IT.
DO YOU?

I'D GUESS NO.

BUT I DON'T KNOW HIM
AS WELL AS YOU.

DID YOU HELP THAT CABBY
FILL THIS 49 OUT, MAC?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THIS IS TEXTBOOK LANGUAGE.

GOT TO GET CURRENT,
ARTHUR.

WE GOT
ALL THESE NEW POLICIES

TO HELP CIVILIANS‐‐
MINORITIES AND SUCH‐‐

EVEN IF THE COMPLAINT'S
AGAINST THEIR OWN.

YEAH. AND REGGIE'S
ONE OF YOUR OWN.

I DON'T LIKE THE TONE
YOU'RE TAKING.

I DON'T LIKE
THE JOB YOU'RE
DOING ON MY BROTHER.

IT'S ONE OF HIS BROTHERS
DOING THE JOB
ON SMART‐MOUTH REGGIE.

YOU BETTER STAND UP IN
THAT I. A. B. INTERVIEW.

OR WHAT?

OR I'LL BE BACK DOWN.

I GOT TO GET TO WORK.

I'LL NEED THAT FORM.

I WAS LOOKING FORWARD
TO MONTREAL.

NOW I GOT TO HONEYMOON
LIKE SOME BEAVER‐PELT
TRADER.

MAYBE YOU'LL LIKE IT
OUT THERE.

MAYBE I'LL LIKE IT?

MAYBE I'D RATHER SPEND TIME
ON RIKER'S ISLAND.

MAYBE I'D RATHER SPEND IT

ON A SKELL JUNKIE'S
PISSED‐ON MATTRESS.

ANDY, ANDY.

I'M JUST MAKING
CONVERSATION HERE.

JEEZ.
MAYBE I'D
LIKE IT, HUH?

15 SQUAD TO
15 BOY, 15 CHARLIE‐‐

WE IN POSITION HERE?

15 BOY, 10‐4.

15 CHARLIE, 10‐4.

WOULD YOU LIKE IT?

LET'S DO THIS,
GUYS. MOVE IN.

I SHOULD BE DRIVING.
I SAID I'D DRIVE.
ANDY, PLEASE.

5‐0!

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!
UP AGAINST THE RAIL!

UP AGAINST THE RAIL!
HERE! YOU, TOO, SLOWPOKE.

WHERE YOU GOING, HUH?

HANDS UP.

I DIDN'T DO NOTHING.

DIANE!

YEAH.
GET THE FEMALE.

ANDY, YOU GOT
MORALES' PHOTO?

YEAH, I GOT IT.

COME ON, MAN. I WAS
JUST WALKING BY.

WELL, NOW WE'RE
GIVING YOU A RIDE.

HE'S NOT HERE.

HEY! WHAT DID I DO?

YOU WORE THAT IDIOT
EARRING, ASSHOLE.

[SIMONE] ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GET THEM BACK
TO THE HOUSE.

YO, WHAT'S THE DEAL?

YOU WANT HER IN HERE?

YEAH.

WATCH YOUR HEAD.

HEY, HEY!

SORRY, UH...

YEAH.

DO I THINK YOU'RE HAPPY?

I DON'T THINK YOU'RE
SITTING THERE CRYING.

LET ME ASK YOU‐‐
WHAT'S YOUR RECORD

FOR THE LONGEST
THAT COMPUTER'S
NOT BEEN DOWN?

ANDY, WHEN ARE WE
GETTING THESE RAP SHEETS?

YEAH, I HEARD OF
"MUTUAL RESPECT."

YOU EVER HEARD OF
"KISS MY ASS"?

I'LL TAKE
THE GUY IN ONE.

I'LL TAKE TWO WHEN
THIS GUY'S DONE
EXPLAINING RESPECT.

GIVE ME A SECOND.

NO! DO NOT HANG UP.
DON'T PUT ME ON HOLD.

DO NOT PUT‐‐

OOH!

I DON'T KNOW HOW
I MISSED THAT GUN.
THAT CAN'T HAPPEN.

WHY DIDN'T YOU DRIVE
IN WITH ME THIS MORNING?

I HAD ERRANDS TO RUN.

YOU RUN
A LOT OF ERRANDS.

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME,
THERE'S NOTHING TO‐‐

COULD'VE GOT SOMEBODY
KILLED, DIANE.

THEN TELL THE BOSS.

I THINK IT'S BECAUSE
YOU'RE DRINKING.

GUESS YOU DON'T WANT MY HELP
WITH THOSE INTERVIEWS.

B.C.I. COMPUTER'S
STILL DOWN.

I GOT TWO?

YEAH.

TOBY RAY?

YES, SIR.

GOOD NEWS IS I'M
NOT SO INTERESTED
IN THAT CRACK.

LOOK, I GOT A JOB‐‐
VIDEO BARN, 2nd AVENUE.

I'M INTERESTED IN THIS GUY.

THAT GETS YOUR CRACK
VOUCHERED AS FOUND PROPERTY

AND YOU BACK ON THE STREET.

I CAN'T GIVE
WHAT I HAVEN'T GOT.

CUT THE CRAP. YOU'RE
ON THAT CORNER EVERY DAY.

SO'S THIS GUY.
YOU'RE SAYING
YOU NEVER SEE HIM?

UNLESS HE
LOOKS DIFFERENT.

THAT DRUG'LL DO THAT.

RICHIE MORALES.
YOU KNOW THAT NAME?

NO, SIR.
STOP
CALLING ME SIR.

READY TO GO TO JAIL, TOBY?
LOSE YOUR GOOD JOB
AT THE VIDEO BARN?

I DIDN'T DO NOTHIN'.
NO, YOU DIDN'T DO ENOUGH.

HEY, LOOK, MAN,
COME INTO THE STORE, HUH?

I'LL GET YOU FORREST GUMP.
NO WAITING LIST.

THINK ABOUT JAIL.

HEY, WHAT ABOUT LION KING?

I GOT NO HELP
FROM MY GUY.

TRUST ME.
ONE OF THESE SKELLS

GIVES US RICHIE MORALES
BY 7 P. M.

WHAT'S AT 7:00?

ME AND SYLVIA
SEE SOME UNCLE

TOO SICK TO ATTEND
THE WEDDING.

THEN YOU GOT
THAT BACHELOR PARTY.

YEAH, THAT'LL BE
A MILLION LAUGHS.

I'LL TRY B.C.I.
AGAIN.

NO, ANDY...

LET ME TRY.

ALL RIGHT.

NO HELP WITH MORALES?

NO. WE'RE HOLDING
THESE GUYS, RIGHT?

YEAH. WE DON'T WANT
TO TIP THIS GUY OFF.

MEDAVOY, YOU READ
THIS FISH BOOK?

YEAH. I READ
WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO.

THE CHAPTER
ON TROUBLESHOOTING?

I‐‐I DON'T THINK

THERE'S GOING TO BE
ANY PROBLEM, ANDY.

I FEED THEM
EVERY 48 HOURS.

YOU'RE ONLY GONE
FIVE DAYS.

ONLY FIVE DAYS, MEDAVOY?

IT'S LONGER?

DID YOU READ THAT PART

ABOUT AMMONIA
AND NITRATE POISONING?

THAT CAN COME ABOUT
IN A MATTER OF HOURS.

THAT'S WHY I GOT
TO CHECK THE Ph.

SUPPOSE THERE'S A WHITE SPOT
ON THE FISH. WHAT'S THAT?

THAT'S OOBINIUM.

OODINIUM.

WITH A "D."

OH, YEAH. WELL...

I KNOW
IF I SEE THAT,

I PUT THE TREATMENT
IN THE WATER.

ANDY, THE FISH
WILL BE FINE.

IF THERE'S
ANY REAL PROBLEM,
I‐I'LL CALL YOU.

YOU CAN'T. SYLVIA
BOOKED US SOMEPLACE

THE ONLY CONTACT
WITH THE OUTSIDE IS
THROUGH SMOKE SIGNALS.

WHAT'S THAT
B.C.I. HUMP SAYING?

I'M ON HOLD. COMPUTER'S
COMING BACK UP.

ANDY, DON'T
PISS THIS GUY OFF.

YEAH, YEAH.

BOBBY, ANY HELP WITH
MORALES OFF THE SWEEP?

B.C.I.'S DOWN.
WE'RE JUST GETTING
THE RAP SHEETS NOW.

O.K.

YEAH, TOBY RAY‐‐
WHAT DO YOU GOT?

LIEU!

WHAT'S UP?

YEAH, THANKS
FOR YOUR COOPERATION.

MY BROTHER'S ON THE JOB
AT THE 8th PRECINCT.

HE JUST GOT SUSPENDED.

HIS SERGEANT'S GOT HIM
TICKETING GYPSY CABS.

ONE OF THE DRIVERS LOOKS
TO HASSLE MY BROTHER

SAYING
HE SOLICITED A BRIBE.

WHY'D THE SARGE
PUT THAT THROUGH?

HE'S A RACIST.
MY BROTHER'S GOT
AN ATTITUDE.

PERFECT COMPLAINT.
THE DRIVER'S BLACK,
TOO.

I WENT THROUGH
THE ACADEMY WITH
THIS SERGEANT.

TRIED TALKING TO HIM.
I DON'T THINK IT HELPED.

SO WHAT,
IT'S AT I. A. B. NOW?

IF I REACH OUT THERE,
IT'LL MAKE THINGS WORSE.

8th PRECINCT?

BOBBY, WANT TO JOIN ME

FOR AN INTERESTING
CONVERSATION?

B.C.I. SAYS MY INTERVIEW
TOOK A COLLAR WITH MORALES
FOUR YEARS AGO.

GO AHEAD. I'LL CHECK ON
THESE OTHER SKELLS HERE.

YEAH.
WHAT IS IT, THREE?

UH, LIEU.

WHAT'S THE CABDRIVER'S NAME,

THE ONE THAT MADE
THE BOGUS COMPLAINT?

PIERRE LaFONT.

MY BROTHER BANGED HIM
OUT AT A BUS STOP

ON 9th AND 23rd.

YEAH?

YEAH, LISTEN,

I GOT SOME OTHER NAMES
FOR YOU TO CHECK.

WHAT DO YOU THINK,
TOBY, HUH,

THAT THIS IS
THE DARK AGES?

YOU THINK
WE DON'T KEEP RECORDS?

WHAT, MAN?
YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T KNOW
RICHIE MORALES.

I DON'T.

YOU AND MORALES
GOT COLLARED TOGETHER

IN NYACK FOUR YEARS AGO.

I GOT PROBATION ON THAT.
BEEN CLEAN SINCE.

YOU BEEN CLEAN,
BUT YOUR MEMORY WENT.

YOU FORGOT
WHO RICHIE MORALES WAS.

RICHIE'S BAD NEWS.
I GOT NOTHING
TO DO WITH HIM.

I DIDN'T WANT
TO GET CONNECTED UP.

YOUR NEXT VIDEO BARN JOB
WILL BE IN ATTICA.

I DON'T KNOW
WHERE HE IS!

WE GOT A DRUG CHARGE,
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.

MAYBE
HE'S WITH THIS CHICK
NAMED TENIQUA.

THAT'S ALL I KNOW.

THIS TENIQUA
WOULD BE WHERE?

SHE STAYED ON ESSEX
WHEN I WAS BONING HER.
414.

YOU BETTER HOPE
WE FIND HIM.

GOT THE ADDRESS
ON MORALES' GIRLFRIEND.

I'LL CALL YOU BACK.

GREG,
JAMES, ADRIANNE.

HELP US GRAB A GUY?

DIANE,
CAN I TALK TO YOU
A SECOND?

MAKE AN EXCUSE UP.

I DON'T WANT YOU OUT
ON THIS.

I DON'T WANT YOU‐‐

BOBBY, YOU READY?

YEAH.

YOU GUYS COVERED
WITHOUT ME?

YEAH, WE'RE O. K.

GOOD.
'CAUSE I GOT TO RUN
AN ERRAND.

THE OUTBOUND DRIVE
ON THE 59th STREET BRIDGE
IS ABSOLUTELY LONGER.

I'LL CHECK
WITH THE SUPER.

THERE IS NO CONSTRUCTION,

AND IT'S FOUR
TO SIX MINUTES LONGER.

AFTER THIS GOES DOWN,
CAN YOU DO ME
A FAVOR?

WHAT'S UP?

LIEU'S BROTHER'S
IN A JAM.

SOME GYPSY CABBY
FILED SOME BOGUS
BRIBERY CHARGE ON HIM.

THE KID'S SERGEANT'S
LOOKING TO HANG HIM UP.

THIS CABBY'S
GOT A RECORD, RIGHT?

I'M HAVING HIS WET PHOTO
PULLED DOWN AT B.C.I.

THEY SAY HE CRUISES
THE BUS STOPS
ON 9th AND 23rd.

WE'RE LOOKING
TO HAIL HIS CAB?

DON'T TELL ANDY. HE'S LOOKING
FOR A REASON TO BAIL
ON MEETING SYLVIA'S SICK UNCLE.

THIS TENIQUA BROAD'S
UP IN 3G

AND WOULD WE REMIND HER
HER RENT CHECK'S OVERDUE?

[TELEVISION]
LORI, MY WIFE
THAT I'M MARRIED TO NOW,

IS A WONDERFUL LADY.

YOU DIDN'T TELL HER
THAT YOU'RE COMING
ON THE SHOW?

AAH!

FREEZE!
GET YOUR HANDS UP!

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

WHO ELSE IS HERE?

NOBODY!

GET YOUR HANDS
ON THE TABLE!

WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHAT IS THIS?

THEY BROKE THE DOOR,
RICHIE.

I'M NOT RICHIE.
WHO'S RICHIE?

WE'RE IN!

GET DRESSED!

ALL RIGHT!
ALL RIGHT!

WAY TO GO.
WAY TO GO.

I GOT A PRETTY GOOD SENSE
OF PEOPLE, RICHIE.

MY SENSE IS YOU'RE NOT
SUCH A BAD GUY.

YOU PLAYING WITH ME?

YOU DID SOME MUGGINGS
'CAUSE YOU NEEDED
TO SUPPORT YOUR HABIT.

I TRIED TO GET
IN THE PROGRAM
LAST YEAR.

THEY WAS FULL.

WITH THESE MUGGINGS,
YOU SPECIFICALLY CHOSE
THE CHINESE

BECAUSE
YOU KNOW THEY TEND
NOT TO FIGHT BACK.

YOU'RE LOOKING
TO LESSEN
THE POSSIBILITY

THAT SOMETHING
MAY GET OUT OF HAND.

THAT'S MY GUESS
ON YOUR THINKING.

I'M NOT LOOKING
TO HURT NOBODY.

WHICH IS THE BAD LUCK
WITH THIS GUY

WHOSE CREDIT CARDS
YOU TOOK THE OTHER DAY.

YOU WERE
JUST LOOKING TO SCORE
TO HELP YOURSELF.

THEN EVERYTHING
WENT OUT OF WHACK.

THIS GUY HAD
A HEART CONDITION.

IF SOMEBODY SNEEZED
WHEN HE WASN'T
EXPECTING IT,

HE'D CROAK FROM THAT.

GET IN FRONT
OF THIS NOW,

YOU CAN PUT YOURSELF
IN A BETTER LIGHT‐‐

BASICALLY GOOD KID
WITH A LITTLE BIT
OF A DRUG PROBLEM

PULLS SOME
LOW‐RISK JOBS
TO SUPPORT HIS HABIT.

ONE GOES
TOTALLY OPPOSITE
HIS INTENTIONS.

THAT'S THE WAY
I READ IT.

DON'T WORK WITH ME
ON THIS,

HOW I READ IT
DOESN'T MATTER.

TAKE YOUR CHANCES,
AND YOU CAN GO
TO TRIAL, RICHIE.

I'LL TELL YOU THIS,

BETWEEN THE CREDIT CARDS
THAT WE FOUND
IN YOUR THINGS,

ALL THESE WITNESSES
THAT SAW YOU,

AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S
TESTIMONY...

WE GOT THE DEATH PENALTY BACK.
DID YOU KNOW THAT?

WHAT KIND OF DEAL
YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YOUR FULL COOPERATION,

YOU TELLING ME
EVERYTHING
THAT HAPPENED,

I COULD GET YOU
DOWN TO MANSLAUGHTER.

CAN YOU MAKE
THAT DEAL?

I TELL THE D. A.,
THE D. A. LETS
THE JUDGE KNOW

THAT YOU GAVE US
COOPERATION.

I DON'T WANT
NO IF‐COME.

I GOT TO TALK
TO SOMEBODY WITH JUICE.

BOBBY, CAN I SEE YOU
FOR A MINUTE?

LET ME SEE
WHAT I CAN DO.

WHAT'S UP?

WE PICKED UP
THAT CABBY.

I DON'T WANT LIEU
TO HAVE TO SIGN ON
TO THIS.

HOW'S IT GOING
WITH MORALES?

WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

YOU MADE A COLLAR?

WE WERE TAKING
AN EARLY DINNER,

AND THIS GYPSY CAB ROLLS
THROUGH A STOP SIGN,

WHICH IS NO BIG THING,
YOU KNOW?

BUT THEN HE JUMPS A LIGHT,
SO WE PULLED HIM OVER.

WHAT WAS HIS NAME?

PIERRE LaFONT.

THE GUY HAD
14 SUSPENSIONS
ON HIS LICENSE

AND A GUN STASHED
UNDER HIS FRONT SEAT.

YOU COLLARED THIS GUY?

HE'S IN THREE.

THANKS, JAMES.

ANDY.

HEY, ANDY.

WE SAW HER SICK UNCLE.

THE BACHELOR
PARTY'S NOW.

IT'S NOT FOR 20 MINUTES.
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MORALES?

HE WANTS THE D.A.
TO DEAL WITH HIM.

HE HAS SOMETHING
TO TRADE?
NO.

SO HOW'S THE D. A.
GONNA DEAL?

HE WANTS TO TALK
TO THE D. A.

NO. I WANT TO TALK
TO THIS GUY IN THREE.

LIEU'S GOT
A PERSONAL SITUATION.

ALL RIGHT.
WE'RE COVERED. I'LL SEE YOU
AT THE PARTY.

NIGHT.

YEAH. UH, JOHN.

HEY...

YOU GOT A MINUTE?

CERTAINLY, DETECTIVE.

LET ME HAVE
YOUR BRIEFCASE.

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL ONLY USE IT
A MINUTE.

THERE'S NOTHING WEIRD
IN HERE, IS THERE?

SOME VISINE
AND MY DAY‐RUNNER.

RICHIE MORALES?

YOU THE D. A.?

MY NAME'S SIPOWICZ.

I HEARD
YOU WANTED TO TALK.

NOW...I WANT YOU
TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING
HERE, PIERRE.

I WANT THE TRUTH
ABOUT A FEW THINGS.

THAT'S ALL I WANT.

I NEED THAT GUN
TO DEFEND MYSELF.

THAT GUN,
THAT'S AN ILLEGAL WEAPON.

POSSESSING A LOADED
UNREGISTERED FIREARM
IS A FELONY.

BEEN IN
A STATION HOUSE BEFORE?

NO.

NO?
NEVER ONCE?

YOU NEVER BEEN
AT THE 8th PRECINCT
STATION HOUSE?

WHAT'D YOU ASK
ABOUT THAT?

I TOLD YOU
WHAT I WANT.

I AM LOOKING
FOR THE TRUTH.

I SPOKE TO THOSE
INVESTIGATORS
ALREADY.

WHAT INVESTIGATORS?

WHAT YOU ASK
ABOUT 8th PRECINCT?

YOU SPOKE
TO SOME INVESTIGATORS
THERE?

I DON'T WANT TROUBLE
WITH WHAT WENT ON
UP THERE.

DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID
ABOUT THE TRUTH, PIERRE?

THAT IS ALL
THAT I AM LOOKING FOR.

IF I GET IT,

THEN MAYBE
THE GUN PART OF THIS
CAN GO AWAY.

I AM A CAB DRIVER.

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE‐‐
A GYPSY CABBY.

SO A COP
WAS MAKING ME SUMMONSES

WITH OTHER GUYS
I WORK WITH.
AT THE 8th PRECINCT?

WHY WERE YOU
GETTING SUMMONSES?

PICKUP AT BUS STOPS,
WHICH WE'RE NOT
SUPPOSED TO DO,

BUT WE'RE TRYING
TO EARN.

SO I GO TO 8th PRECINCT.

MAYBE I SAY
TOO MANY THINGS.

MAYBE I EXAGGERATE
SOMEWHAT.

EXAGGERATE HOW?

HOW MAYBE...

THE COP WAS ASKING ME
TO KICK BACK MONEY,

GIVE HIM A BRIBE.

DID THE COP
ASK YOU FOR MONEY?

MAYBE I EXAGGERATE
SOMEWHAT.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS.

DID HE ASK YOU
FOR MONEY?

NO, HE DIDN'T ASK.

YOU LIED THAT THIS COP
SOLICITED A BRIBE
FROM YOU.

I JUST WANTED HIM
OFF MY BACK.

NOW THE SERGEANT
SAYS I HAVE
TO WRITE IT DOWN,

MAKE A COMPLAINT.

I TRIED
TO WALK AWAY.
HE SAID NO.

I DIDN'T WANT IT
TO GET LIKE THIS.

I DIDN'T THINK
IT WOULD GET SO BIG.

YOU'RE SAYING
YOU'RE LYING.

I EXAGGERATED.

YOU WANT TO TAKE
THIS EXAGGERATION BACK?

I DO!
I DON'T WANT TO BE
IN TROUBLE.

WHO DO I TALK TO
TO TAKE IT BACK?

[OFF‐KEY]
♪ THE MORE I SEE YOU ♪

THIS BOTHER YOU?

NO.

I CAN CATCH YOU
BETWEEN DRINKS.

IT'S O. K.

16 YEARS
SINCE WE RODE TOGETHER.

I WAS THINKING
WHEN I SAW YOU.

NOT CLOSE AS PREVIOUSLY.

I THINK ABOUT YOU.

NEW MARRIAGE...

ON THE WAGON.

I AIN'T NEITHER OF THOSE,
BUT THAT'S HORSE RACES.

HEY, BIG GUY.

HEY, MEDAVOY.

GREG MEDAVOY,
THIS IS
CHRIS DOWDELL,

AND THIS IS
JAMES MARTINEZ.

HOW'S IT GOING?
HOW'S IT GOING?

I WAS JUST
CONGRATULATING ANDY
ON HIS UPCOMING EVENT.

WE PARTNERED
IN THE PREVIOUS CENTURY.

GLAD HE'S GETTING
MARRIED.

HE'S TURNED A WHOLE LEAF.

I WANTED
TO TAKE THIS GIRL OUT.

ANDY'S MARRIAGE
COMING UP

KIND OF BROKE THE ICE
FOR ME.
GOT US TALKING.

HOW'D IT GO LAST NIGHT?

WE HAD COFFEE.
IT WAS
OUR FIRST TIME OUT.

HEY, I'M GOING
TO DO THIS AGAIN.

NICE MEETING YOU GUYS.

GOOD TO MEET YOU,
CHRIS.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF,
PARTNER.

YOU, TOO, CHRIS.

SO...

YEAH, WELL, UH...

SO, UH,
YOU AND LESNIAK
HAD COFFEE?

ONLY THING IS
SHE ASKED ME
TO WALK HER DOG

WHILE SHE WAS MAKING IT.

SHE'S GOT AN OLDER POODLE.

I TAKE HIM OUTSIDE,
AND I'M THINKING,

IT'S A NICE NIGHT.

THE LEAVES ARE OUT.
ADRIANNE'S UPSTAIRS
MAKING COFFEE.

SUDDENLY,
I HEAR THIS THUD.

THE DOG WALKED HEAD‐ON
INTO A LIGHTPOLE.

KNOCKED HIMSELF OUT COLD.

SHE LIKES THAT DOG.

THE DOG HAVE SOME KIND
OF VISION PROBLEM?

CATARACTS.
SHE FORGOT TO TELL ME.

I HELD HIM UNDER
A LAWN SPRINKLER,

WHICH I GOT ALL SOAKED.

FINALLY, HE CAME AROUND.

IT TOOK ME THREE MONTHS
TO HAVE COFFEE WITH HER,

AND NOW I KILLED HER DOG.

BUT THE DOG CAME AROUND.

YEAH, FORTUNATELY,
HE DID.

HERE HE IS.

SORRY I'M LATE.

HOW'S THE GROOM‐TO‐BE?

COUNTING
THE MINUTES.

ANYBODY WANT ANYTHING?

ALL SET.

HEY, BOBBY.

HEY.

HEY.

MORALES GO?

HE GAVE UP
A STATEMENT.

MORALES SAID
SOME ASSISTANT D. A.

TOLD HIM
HE WAS LOOKING
AT MANSLAUGHTER.

THAT RIGHT?

I DIDN'T KNOW
WE HAD ONE IN THE HOUSE.

IF THAT HAPPENED,
I'LL BET THE A.D.A.
TOLD HIM A STATEMENT

THAT WOULD GET HIM
SOME CONSIDERATION.

ONLY A JUDGE
COULD MAKE THE DEAL.

LEON SAYS YOU MIGHT WANT
A PRIVATE DANCE LESSON.

UH‐OH.

GO, ANDY!

I DON'T REALLY NEED
A PRIVATE DANCE SESSION.

WELL,
YOU'RE AN EASY MAN
TO PLEASE.

GOOD INVESTMENT,
THERE, ANDY.

YOU DON'T MIND
IF I DON'T STAY,
DO YOU?

WOULD YOU SMUGGLE ME OUT
IN YOUR TRUNK?

ANDY, I'M...

YOU KNOW I'M SEEING
THIS GIRL, RIGHT?

RUSSELL.

YEAH.

YOU WERE RIGHT
ABOUT THAT PROBLEM.

IT'S HER PROBLEM.

I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

GUYS, SEE YOU LATER.

SO, ANDY,
WHAT DO YOU THINK'S
THE BEST BET

THIS TIME OF NIGHT?

59th STREET
TO THE GRAND CENTRAL

OR THE MIDTOWN
TO THE L. I. E.?

I'D GO THE BRIDGE.

I'M BACK WITH MARIE.
I'M MAKING THE DRIVE
AGAIN.

THIS THING WORKING?

HOW DID ALL THESE PEOPLE
GET IN MY ROOM?

I WANT TO DEDICATE A SONG
TO THE GROOM‐TO‐BE,

WHICH I THINK
IS VERY APPROPRIATE
AT THIS TIME.

HIT IT, LEON.

♪ AND NOW
THE END IS NEAR ♪

♪ AND SO I FACE ♪

♪ THE FINAL CURTAIN ♪

♪ MY FRIEND ♪

♪ I'LL SAY IT CLEAR... ♪

PROMISE ME
SOMETHING.

I WILL TAKE CARE
OF YOUR FISH.

NO. IF THIS GOES MORE
THAN TWO CHORUSES,
BLOW MY HEAD OFF.

HEY, REGGIE.

YOU KNOW THAT CABBY
RECANTED HIS STATEMENT.

YEAH.
YEAH, I'M GLAD.

YOU ARE ONE
HOOKED‐UP NEGRO.

WASN'T ME.

OH, O. K.

SOME PEOPLE IN MY SQUAD
MADE IT RIGHT.

OH, YEAH?

YOU DON'T LIVE BY YOURSELF
IN THIS JOB.

BEFORE I TRANSFER OUT,

I'LL ASK McNAMARA
FOR AN INVITE

TO THE NEXT
ST. PATTY'S PARADE.

STEER CLEAR
OF McNAMARA.

REMEMBER,
FOUR OR FIVE PEOPLE
REACHED OUT FOR YOU.

NOT A BROTHER
IN THE BUNCH.

I GOT TO TURN IN
MY MONTHLY STATS.

TELL THOSE PEOPLE THANKS.

YEAH, YOU GOT IT.

GOOD MORNING,
DETECTIVE.

HEY.

I WAS HOPING
YOU'D BE HERE.

I SENT FOR THIS.
IT WAS DELAYED. IT
JUST CAME MAIL ORDER.

BEST WISHES TO YOU
AND MISS COSTAS.

THANKS A LOT.

IT'S ONE OF THOSE
LOVE‐IT‐OR‐HATE‐IT
PRESENTS.

IT'S A QUILT.

IT HAS...
FISH ON IT.

I COLLECT FISH.

YES, I KNOW.

SALT WATER TROPICALS.

ANYWAYS, UH...

THANKS A LOT, JOHN.

YOU'RE WELCOME,
DETECTIVE.

BEST OF LUCK.

THANKS.

DETECTIVE.

I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE
MY NEW COLLEAGUE NOW.

YOU JOINED THE FORCE?

NO, I GATHER YOU'VE
BECOME AN A. D. A.

IS THIS A RUNNING
START FOR WHAT YOU
WANT TO SAY?

YOU REPRESENTED YOURSELF
AS A DISTRICT ATTORNEY
TO RICHIE MORALES.

HE MADE A STATEMENT
THINKING YOU'D OFFERED
MANSLAUGHTER.

I NEVER SAID THAT
OR THAT I WAS A D. A.

HE FIGURED I WAS.
I DIDN'T CORRECT
HIS IMPRESSION.

I SAID WHAT I'D SAY
AS A COP‐‐

THE JUDGE
MAKES THE CALL,

BUT HIS COOPERATION
WOULD BE NOTED.

COURTS HAVE HELD
CONFESSIONS CAN BE OBTAINED
BY RUSE OR TRICK,

SO LONG AS AN INNOCENT MAN
WOULDN'T BE DECEIVED.

WELL, THERE'S
A RELIEF.

THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME
MORE COMFORTABLE
WITH WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME AGAIN?

ARNOLD ROSENTHAL.

ARNOLD, WHY DON'T YOU
LEAVE YOUR CARD?

I'LL BE IN TOUCH

THE SECOND THAT
YOUR COMFORT BECOMES
IMPORTANT TO ME. HMM?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
SYLVIA SEES IN YOU.

WHAT A DICK.

MORNING, LIEU.

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE, ANDY?

AN 8:00 TO 4:00.
WEDDING'S NOT TILL 6:00.

WILL IT
TAKE ME NINE HOURS
TO GET DRESSED?

WELL, LILLIAN
CALLED FROM MARYLAND
TO TELL YOU

SHE SENDS
HER VERY BEST WISHES.

SHE'S DOWN THERE
TAKING CARE OF HER SISTER.

TELL HER THANKS
FOR HER THOUGHTS.

YEAH. BOBBY, GOT
A MINUTE FOR ME?
SURE.

SO MY BROTHER SAYS
THAT CABBY'S WITHDRAWN
HIS COMPLAINT.

HMM.

PIERRE LaFONT.
YEAH, THE GUY

YOU COLLARED
ON THOSE MOVING
VIOLATIONS.

HE MENTIONED
THAT WAS BOGUS,

THOSE CHARGES HE FILED
IN THE 8th.

HOWEVER THAT WENT DOWN,
I'M VERY GRATEFUL
ABOUT IT.

HEY, YOU WERE LOOKING OUT
FOR YOUR BROTHER.

AND YOU WERE
LOOKING OUT FOR ME.

ARE WE ALL
GOING TO LIVE
TILL ANDY'S WEDDING?

I THINK THE ODDS ARE UP
TO EVEN MONEY.

SHE'S IN THE LOCKER ROOM.

[RATTLES KNOB]

HUH.

[KNOCK KNOCK]

JUST A MINUTE.

YEAH, WELL, I NEED
TO COME IN NOW.

[KNOCK KNOCK]

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE,
DIANE?

YOU DON'T ANSWER
YOUR PAGER. I DON'T
KNOW WHERE YOU ARE.

I, UH, HAD TO
THINK THINGS OUT.

YEAH?

AND YOU'RE RIGHT.

I HAVE A PROBLEM.

THEY SAY THAT'S
A GOOD THING WHEN
YOU CAN ADMIT IT.

YEAH. YOU GOT
A GOLD STAR FOR ME?

I TOLD MYSELF
IT CAME FROM WORKING
UNDERCOVER,

BUT, UM...

IT'S WORSE
SINCE I TRANSFERRED.

AND THINKING BACK,
I'VE BEEN DRINKING
SINCE I WAS 15.

THAT PROGRAM REALLY
SEEMED TO HELP ANDY.

YEAH, MAYBE
I'LL GET IN TOUCH
WITH SOMEONE THERE.

I, UM...

I WANT TO HELP YOU,
DIANE.

I CARE FOR YOU.

I DON'T WANT
TO MESS US UP,
BOBBY.

I THINK I'D BETTER
TAKE CARE OF THIS
FIRST.

ALL RIGHT, IF THAT'S
THE WAY YOU WANT
TO HANDLE IT.

SO YOU DON'T WANT
TO SEE EACH OTHER AT ALL.

YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO THE WEDDING WITH ME.

NO.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT.

OH...

I'M SORRY.

DON'T BE SORRY.

YOU'RE TRYING
TO HELP YOURSELF.

YEAH.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[ORGAN PLAYS]

MAURICE O. K. TODAY?

JAMES, HE'S FINE.

YOU KNOW, I JUST‐‐
I WORRY ABOUT HIS SKULL.

HOW DO YOU THINK
I LEARNED HIS CATARACTS
WERE SO BAD?

THAT'S NOT
THE FIRST LAMP POST
HE BUMPED INTO.

YEAH. CAN I ASK YOU
ONE MORE QUESTION?

HOW'S IT FEEL TO BE
THE BEST‐LOOKING GIRL
IN THE CHURCH?

AH, HERE'S THE LIEUTENANT.

HEY, LIEU.

HELLO.

DON'T LET THIS GUY
EAT TOO MUCH CAKE.

HE'LL HAVE TO MOVE
UP TO A NEW WEIGHT CLASS.

THAT'S MY BOSS...
AND MY BOXING COACH.

ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL,
GREG?

VERY MUCH SO, YEAH.

OUR FOURTH DAY
BACK TOGETHER,

HERE WE ARE,
IN A BEAUTIFUL CHURCH.

YEAH,
IT'S VERY STRIKING.

I THINK THERE'S A REASON
YOU AND I ARE HERE, GREG.

I THINK THE CEREMONY
IS FOR US AS WELL.

INTERESTING.

I'M GOING TO PRETEND
WE'RE UP THERE.

OH, YEAH?

I'M GOING
TO TAKE THE VOWS

WHEN SYLVIA DOES.
YOU SHOULD DO THE SAME

WHEN ANDY TAKES
HIS VOWS.

S‐‐UH, S‐SILENTLY,
RIGHT?

WE'LL LOOK AT EACH OTHER
SO WE KNOW WE'RE DOING IT.

O.K., MARIE.

IS SHE HERE?

MARIE...
DO NOT START.

AM I STICKING YOU?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU'RE ALL SET.

OH, YEAH.

THERE'S THE FINISH LINE.

TELL YOU THE TRUTH,

I DIDN'T KNOW
IF I WAS GOING
TO MAKE IT.

THAT RIGHT?

I FELT A LITTLE...

SKITTISH
THE LAST FEW DAYS.

I COULD STILL
BE ON THE TURNPIKE

BEFORE ANYBODY KNEW
I WAS MISSING.

YOU DON'T WANT THAT.

NO.

I JUST DON'T WANT
TO SCREW UP.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT,
DADDY?

I'M F...

FULL OF EMOTION.

I KNOW.

I KNOW.

[SNIFFS]

I'M HAPPY, YES.

I JUST WISH THAT
YOUR MOTHER COULD'VE
LIVED TO BE HERE.

I FEEL LIKE
SHE IS HERE.

AND I FEEL
LIKE SHE IS STANDING
IN FRONT OF ME.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT,
MY ARGYRO?

YES.

HE'S A GOOD MAN.

HE'S A MAN I TRUST.

EVERYONE IS TESTED,
ARGYRO...

BUT I KNOW HE WANTS
GOOD FOR YOU.

I LOVE HIM, PAPA.

AND THAT...

IS EVERYTHING.

MY BEAUTIFUL CHILD.

THERE'S MY KID.

I THOUGHT HE
COULDN'T COME.
YEAH.

HEY, POP.

HEY, SON.

LATE FOR CHURCH.
WHAT ELSE IS NEW?

SHOULD I BE LOOKING

I FINAGLED A PASS.

HUH.

[ORGAN PLAYS WEDDING MARCH]

HERE WE GO, PAL.

LET'S DO IT.

THAT'S WHAT THAT GUY
IN UTAH SAID.

WHAT'S THAT?

"LET'S DO IT."
HE SAID THAT
TO THE FIRING SQUAD

JUST BEFORE
THEY WHACKED HIM.

HOW'S IT GOING?

ANDY...

BEAUTIFUL GIRL.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]
