NYPD Blue (1993–2005): Season 5, Episode 19 - Prostrate Before the Law - full transcript
As Sipowicz prepares for prostate surgery with Sylvia by his side, James Martinez returns after recovering from his back problem where he reports that Gina had her baby three weeks earlier. But Medavoy is more happier after returning from upstate New York with a videotape of Abby giving birth to her baby and is very eager to show the tape to anyone who will watch. Meanwhile, the rest of the squad gets involved in a case of five reuniting Army buddies when one of them is found dead. The four other try to keep their fabricated story straight as Simone and the others try to figure out their involvement.
GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING, DOCTOR.
DID YOU GET
A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP?
8 GOOD HOURS.
HE LOOKS VERY ALERT.
HOW DID YOU DO?
ASK YOUR NEXT QUESTION.
I'M GOING TO TALK YOU
THROUGH THE PROCEDURE AGAIN
FOR YOUR SURGERY, ANDY.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU'LL MEET
YOUR ANESTHESIOLOGIST
IN THE HOLDING AREA‐‐
HE KNOWS NOT TO USE
NO DYE.
NO. WE'RE NOT GOING TO
USE ANY RADIOACTIVE DYE.
HE'LL GO OVER YOUR HISTORY
WITH YOU AND GIVE YOU
SOMETHING TO RELAX,
AND THEN AFTER A WHILE,
YOU AND I WILL GET BACK
TOGETHER.
THIS IS IN
THE SURGERY ROOM?
Dr. Garrick:
THAT'S RIGHT.
HE'LL GIVE YOU YOUR ANESTHETIC,
YOU'LL GO TO SLEEP,
AND THEN I'LL DO
YOUR OPERATION.
I'LL EXAMINE YOUR AORTA
AND THE SIDES OF
YOUR BLADDER AND BOWEL
TO MAKE SURE YOUR CANCER
HASN'T SPREAD.
THEN I'LL REMOVE
YOUR PROSTATE AND
THE TUMOR THAT'S IN IT.
OK.
WHEN YOU WAKE UP,
YOU'LL HAVE AN INCISION
FROM THE BASE OF YOUR PENIS
TO A LITTLE ABOVE
YOUR BELLY BUTTON,
A TUBE IN YOUR BLADDER
TO DRAIN YOUR URINE,
AND YOU'RE GOING
TO HURT LIKE HELL.
BUT YOU'LL HAVE A MACHINE
THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE
TO REGULATE
TO GIVE YOU PAIN MEDICINE.
WE KNOW PATIENTS
DO BETTER
WHO CONTROL THAT PART
OF THEIR CARE THEMSELVES.
SHE'LL HAVE TO DO THAT.
ANDY, YOUR ADDICTION'S
A DIFFERENT THING
FROM PHYSICAL PAIN.
I'M GONNA BE HERE.
YOU'LL HAVE SOME
ELASTIC STOCKINGS ON
TO PREVENT COMPLICATIONS
FROM BLOOD CLOTS,
AND WHEN YOU'RE
NOT TOO WOOZY,
WE'LL GET YOU ON YOUR FEET
A LITTLE WHILE AS WELL.
SOUNDS LIKE A FULL DAY.
WE'VE GOT A RIGHT TO BE
OPTIMISTIC, ANDY.
YOUR SCAN SHOWED NO EVIDENCE
THE TUMOR'S SPREAD.
THAT DOESN'T ABSOLUTELY
PROVE IT HASN'T‐‐
THAT'S WHY DR. GARRICK'S
GOING TO EXAMINE
YOUR LYMPH NODES.
BUT A PSA LEVEL OF 6
PUTS THE ODDS
IN OUR FAVOR.
THAT'S MY PROSTRATE SCORE
ON MY BLOOD TEST.
EXACTLY RIGHT.
Nurse: THEY'RE
READY TO TAKE YOU
TO THE SURGICAL
HOLDING AREA,
MR. SIPOWICZ.
FINE.
IT IS GOING TO BE
A FULL DAY,
AND YOU'RE GOING TO
COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE.
FINE.
THANKS.
SURE.
HE'S GOT A BULLET WOUND
IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD.
[SIMONE SIGHS]
THE GUY IN THAT WINDOW'S
COMING DOWN HERE.
HE WAS SIGNALING
LIKE HE WAS ON
A BATTLESHIP CARRIER.
CHECK OUT HOW TORN UP
MY BOYS ARE OVER THERE
ABOUT THEIR FRIEND?
Parking Attendant:
HE'S BURNT?
Medavoy:
HE'S BURNT.
TOTALLY BURNT?
TOTALLY BURNT.
THE PARKING ATTENDANT.
WHOA.
Medavoy:
TOTALLY BURNT.
HEY, I'M DOWNSTAIRS,
WHY I'M NOT AWARE
OF THE FIRE AND SUCH.
YOU DON'T REMEMBER THIS VAN
COMING IN HERE?
NO. I, UH, WASN'T
AWARE OF IT.
DID YOU NOTICE
ANY OTHER CARS
LEAVING QUICKLY
IN THE COURSE
OF THE NIGHT?
NO.
NOTHING YOU'RE
AWARE OF.
IS THIS GONNA TAKE
MUCH LONGER?
2 MORE MINUTES, YOU'LL BE
ON YOUR FIRST BOILERMAKER.
WHERE'S YOUR EQUIPMENT SHOWS
TRAFFIC GOING IN, COMING OUT?
REPOSSESSED.
REPOSSESSED?
ALL RIGHT.
COME WITH ME.
RECITE YOUR NAME, SO FORTH,
THEN YOU'RE DISMISSED.
YOU WANT MY NAME?
VAN BELONGS TO YOU?
YEAH. NEIL BORROWED IT
ABOUT, WHAT, UH,
8:30 LAST NIGHT?
COULD'VE BEEN
UP TO 10:00.
I HAD A COUPLE OF BEERS.
GUESS WE ALL HAD.
MORNING.
HEY, POP!
YEAH, POP.
RIGHT BACK AT YA.
WELCOME BACK,
JAMES.
THANKS, JILL.
JAMES MARTINEZ!
GOD BLESS.
HEY, BOBBY.
THANKS A LOT.
Kirkendall:
DETECTIVE MARTINEZ
AND HIS WIFE
HAD A BABY BOY
3 WEEKS AGO.
YES, I‐‐I DID ALSO.
UH, DIFFERENT
CIRCUMSTANCES.
CONGRATULATIONS.
HOW MANY ARE YOU AND
YOUR WIFE UP TO NOW,
DETECTIVE MARTINEZ?
THAT'S OUR FIRST ONE.
SO THE D. O. A.'s IN THE VAN?
YEAH. NEIL STREETER.
NEIL'S FRIENDS CAME
LOOKING FOR HIM
THIS MORNING.
YEAH. NEIL, UH, BORROWED
MY VAN LAST NIGHT.
YOU PARK HERE FOR THE PLACE
WE'RE STAYING AT.
LOOKS LIKE BEFORE
HE GOT BURNED UP,
YOUR BUDDY GOT SHOT.
IS THAT RIGHT?
Simone: YEAH.
BACK OF HIS HEAD.
Kirkendall:
THE FELLAS SAW NEIL LAST
BETWEEN 8:30 AND 10:00
LAST NIGHT.
HE BORROWED JOSH'S VAN.
HE WENT OUT
BY HIMSELF?
HE SAID HE WANTED TO DO
SOMETHING ON HIS OWN.
HE WAS BEING
A LITTLE MYSTERIOUS.
HE WAS BEING MYSTERIOUS
ABOUT WHAT HE WANTED
TO DO, SO...
I JUST GAVE HIM THE KEYS.
THESE GUYS
WERE IN THE SERVICE
TOGETHER 4 YEARS AGO.
SOME REUNION.
YEAH, WELL, I'M SORRY
IT TURNED OUT THIS WAY.
WHAT BRANCH OF THE SERVICE
YOU GUYS IN?
ARMY.
FORT DRUM.
WHAT BRANCH
WERE YOU IN?
ARMY RESERVES.
SO, UH, HOW WILL YOU
SOLVE WHAT HAPPENED?
WE'LL CANVASS,
LOOK FOR POSSIBLE
WITNESSES.
DID THAT ATTENDANT
SEE ANYTHING?
YEAH, WE'RE GONNA BE
TALKING TO HIM SOME MORE.
WAS HE ASLEEP?
LISTEN, GUYS,
I THINK
IT'LL BE BETTER
IF WE ALL GO TALK AT
THE STATION HOUSE.
SURE.
ON, UH, WHAT BASIS
IS THAT?
AS MUCH AS WE CAN GET
ON PEOPLE YOU AND NEIL
MIGHT'VE MET,
PLACES YOU WENT
HE MAY HAVE GONE
BACK TO.
ALL THAT COULD BE HELPFUL
IN WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
COULD WE DO THAT LATER?
WELL, IT'D BE GREAT IF
WE COULD DO IT RIGHT NOW.
WHATEVER WE CAN DO
TO HELP.
Kirkendall: WE'LL
DRIVE YOU OVER.
ANYONE KNOW HOW TO
CONTACT NEIL'S FAMILY?
Josh: NO. UH‐UH.
SO, UH, THIS GENTLEMAN SAW
THAT VAN PARK ON THE ROOF
AT 2:00 THIS MORNING.
THERE WERE A BUNCH
OF GUYS IN THAT VAN
WHO COULD BE
THOSE GUYS.
COME OVER HERE
WITH ME, SIR.
TALK IN
A LOWER VOICE,
ALL RIGHT?
ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER,
I SAW THE VAN ON FIRE.
WHAT WERE THE GUYS
DOING?
THERE WAS NO ONE
LEFT AROUND.
I MEAN, THE DEAD MAN
MUST'VE BEEN IN THE VAN,
BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
YOU DIDN'T HEAR ANY
SHOTS OR THE LIKE,
ANY LOUD VOICES?
NO.
WHAT WERE YOU DOING
IN THE INTERVENING
15 MINUTES?
OFFICE WORK.
THIS IS BETWEEN
1:45 AND 2 A. M.?
YOU WORKING
WITH ANYONE?
MY SECRETARY.
MMM.
WHO SAW NOTHING...
AND WHOM I DON'T
WANT INVOLVED.
NO PROBLEM.
CAN I GET JUST YOUR NAME
AND PHONE NUMBER, SIR?
Y‐YOU WANT MY NAME?
JUST YOUR NAME
AND PHONE NUMBER.
SO, UH, THIS WAS LIKE
A REUNION, HUH?
FORT DRUM.
THAT'S UP NEAR CANADA.
NEAR WATERTOWN.
PRETTY COLD.
I'D HAVE FIGURED
YOUR REUNION FOR MIAMI.
HOW'D YOU COME
TO PICK NEW YORK?
ALL THE WONDERFUL SIGHTS.
STATUE OF LIBERTY...
ELLIS ISLAND...
U.N.
WHERE YOU FROM, JOHN?
HUNTSBURG, OHIO.
EVER HEAR OF IT?
MM‐MMM.
NICE TOWN?
IF YOU WERE A SARDINE,
WOULD YOU PREFER
LIVING IN A CAN
OR HAVING ROOM TO SWIM?
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
I'VE BEEN A CAN DWELLER
ALL MY LIFE.
ANY IDEA HOW NEIL
WOUND UP DEAD?
MY IDEAS WON'T HELP YOU
SOLVE YOUR CRIME.
LAY ONE ON ME.
BASED ON WHO LIVES HERE,
HOW THEY'RE LIVING,
AND UNDER WHOSE THUMB
THEY'RE SQUIRMING UNDER,
YOU HAVE A LARGE
CHOICE OF OPTIONS.
YOU'RE NOT HELPING ME NARROW
DOWN MY SUSPECT LIST, JOHN.
I DIDN'T PICK THE BIG APPLE'S
POPULATION.
YOU, UM...
YOU MIND STICKING AROUND
A FEW MINUTES MORE?
DO I MIND? YES.
AM I LEAVING
MY FRIENDS BEHIND?
I GUESS YOU WERE NEVER
IN THE SERVICE.
YOU AND ME LUCK OUT,
TRUMAN.
GET TO TALK
IN THE REFRESHMENT ROOM.
YEAH, IT'S A GREAT DAY.
I DIDN'T MEAN
TO SOUND OFF‐HANDED.
I REALIZE YOU JUST
LOST YOUR FRIEND.
WHATEVER.
ARE YOU PISSED OFF AT ME
FOR SOME REASON?
WHY WOULD I BE
PISSED OFF AT YOU?
WELL, THAT'S WHAT
I'M WONDERING.
WHAT DID YOU
WANT TO ASK ME...
DETECTIVE MARTINEZ?
DOESN'T THAT QUALIFY
AS A QUESTION?
WHAT ARE YOU ACTING
PISSED OFF FOR?
I'M NOT UNDER ARREST,
AM I?
NO, YOU'RE NOT
UNDER ARREST.
I'M JUST TRYING TO GET
YOUR HELP ON WHAT HAPPENED
WITH YOUR FRIEND.
AND IF I WAS
ARRESTED,
I WOULDN'T HAVE
TO SPEAK
WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY
PRESENT. WOULD I?
NO, YOU WOULDN'T.
AND NOT BEING
ARRESTED,
I ALSO DON'T
HAVE TO SPEAK.
SO, TRUMAN, YOU FIND
YOURSELF SPONTANEOUSLY
HITTING IT OFF REAL GOOD
WITH PEOPLE YOU JUST MET?
WE REPORTED
WHAT HAPPENED TO NEIL.
YOU PEOPLE CAN
MESS IT UP FROM THERE.
DON'T TAKE NONE
OF THE REFRESHMENTS.
SO, UH, NEIL SAYS
HE'S TAKING A RIDE
UP TO MIDTOWN.
DID HE TELL YOU
WHERE ESPECIALLY
HE WAS LOOKING TO GO‐‐
UH, TIMES SQUARE,
ROCKEFELLER CENTER?
HE WAS LOOKING
FOR THE PEEP SHOWS,
THE DIRTY MOVIE PLACES.
MAYBE TO MEET SOMEBODY.
SO THIS‐‐
THIS'D BE LIKE,
UH, EIGHTH AVENUE,
45th STREET?
WELL, I GUESS YOU'D KNOW THAT
BETTER THAN ME.
DID HE SAY HE WAS INTERESTED
IN ACTUALLY BUYING SEX?
HE WAS LOOKING
FOR A BLACK GIRL.
NOW, SEE,
THAT'S HELPFUL.
WE COULD SHOW
NEIL'S PICTURE
TO BLACK GIRLS
ON THE STROLL
ON 45th STREET,
MAYBE GET A TIME LINE
WHEN HE WAS LAST SEEN.
MAYBE ONE OF THEIR
BLACK PIMPS KILLED HIM.
THAT'S ALWAYS
A POSSIBILITY.
OR MAYBE THE BLACK WHORE
HAD A RAZOR UNDER HER TONGUE
AND CUT HIS THROAT.
NEIL BEING BURNED UP
LIKE THAT,
YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE
TO TELL.
THAT'S A, UH,
POSSIBLE SCENARIO
AS WELL.
SO WHY DON'T YOU
GO WORK THAT OUT?
HAVE YOU GOT ME
CONFUSED SOMEHOW
WITH SOMEONE
AWAITING ORDERS
FROM YOU, ROYCE?
OH, YEAH. WHAT'S
THE MATTER WITH ME‐‐
THINKING GOVERNMENTAL
EMPLOYEES WORK
FOR THE PEOPLE?
SPUR‐OF‐THE‐MOMENT
QUESTION, ROYCE.
YOU GOT ANY STRONG
POSITIONS ON CIVILIANS
BEARING FIREARMS?
YOU GOT ANY STRONG POSITIONS
ON THE BILL OF RIGHTS?
I'M FOR 'EM.
SO THAT WOULD INCLUDE
THE SECOND AMENDMENT?
ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTION
THEN, DIDN'T I?
EXCUSE ME
JUST A SECOND.
OH, BOY.
HEY, GREG.
HOW'D YOU GUYS DO
ON THE CANVASS?
OK.
OH, I‐‐I...
I WAS JUST SPEAKING
WITH, UH, ROYCE,
UH, FRIEND
OF THE VICTIM.
I'M GONNA BRIEF
LIEUTENANT FANCY.
YEAH, WE'RE GONNA
BRIEF HIM, TOO.
HOW'S IT GOING, GUYS?
SAY, YOU FIGURE
WHO KILLED NEIL YET?
I WISH WE WORKED
THAT QUICK.
ANYBODY TALK
TO YOU GUYS YET?
NOBODY YET.
MM‐HMM.
WELL, SOMEBODY'LL BE
WITH YOU IN A FEW MINUTES.
Josh: SWELL.
I GOT SOME STRONG
RIGHT‐WING WHIFF OFF
MY GUY I INTERVIEWED.
YEAH, RIGHT‐WING WHIFF.
DID YOU GET THAT
OFF YOURS?
YEAH, BUT I'M NOT
GONNA TRY AND SAY IT
TOO MANY MORE TIMES.
MY MAN JOHN'S
GOT US CITY FOLK
PEGGED FOR HELL.
ABOUT 2:00 IN THE MORNING,
GUY IN AN OFFICE BUILDING
THAT OVERLOOKS THIS ROOF
SEES A BUNCH OF GUYS
PARK, GET OUT, AND SET UP
LIKE THEY'RE GONNA PARTY.
ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER,
THE GUY LOOKS OUT AGAIN.
THE CAR'S ON FIRE.
EVERYONE'S GONE.
ON HIS FIRST LOOK,
DID HE NOTICE
ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROOF
BESIDES THE GUYS
HE THOUGHT
WERE GONNA PARTY?
HE SAID HE COULDN'T SWEAR
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER IF THERE
WAS ANYONE ELSE UP THERE.
I GUESS SOMEONE ELSE
COULD'VE COME UP BETWEEN
THE GUY'S LOOKS, TOO.
WHAT WAS HE DOING
AT THE OFFICE THAT LATE?
WORKING
WITH HIS SECRETARY.
AH.
LOT ATTENDANT
COULDN'T HELP?
HE WOULDN'T HAVE NOTICED
A MISSILE ATTACK.
OUR PUSH IS THE SAME
WHETHER THESE GUYS
DID IT THEMSELVES
OR SOMEBODY ELSE
CAME UP ON 'EM
AND THEY BOOKED.
THE WITNESS PUTTING THEM
ON THE ROOF CONTRADICTS
WHAT THEY TOLD US
AT THE CRIME SCENE.
AT THE CRIME SCENE,
THEY SAID THE D.O.A.
TOOK THE CAR OUT HIMSELF.
WILL YOU PEOPLE STAY AROUND
WHILE BOBBY AND DIANE
TALK TO THE LAST TWO?
YEAH. THEY'RE NOT LOOKIN'
TO GO NOWHERE.
I THINK THEY'RE ENJOYING
FEELING LIKE THEY'RE
GETTING US CONFUSED.
DARK HAIR'S GOT
A WAY WITH THE LADIES.
HOW ABOUT
IF I TAKE HIM?
I GOT THE OTHER
ASSHOLE.
HERE COMES
THE F‐TROOP.
COME ON, JOSHUA. I'LL
SHOW YOU HOW TO JIMMY
OUR SODA MACHINE.
JUST DON'T ARREST ME
FOR IT AFTERWARDS.
NAH. I WOULDN'T
SET YOU UP LIKE THAT.
YOU DREW ME,
MICHAEL.
WELL, I GUESS I GOT
ALL THE LUCK, HUH?
SO, WHERE YOU FROM?
THE WEST.
MOUNTAIN TIME ZONE?
THAT'S NOT BAD.
MONTANA, IDAHO?
2 GREAT STATES.
SO HOW COME YOU GUYS
DIDN'T TELL THE TRUTH
ABOUT BEING UP
ON THAT ROOF WITH NEIL
BEFORE HE WAS KILLED?
2 GREAT STATES.
I DON'T LIKE YOUR
CHANCES OF GETTING BACK
TO EITHER ONE OF THEM
IF YOU DON'T TELL ME
WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT ROOF.
[SIGHS HEAVILY]
IN THE PARKING LOT
ON THAT ROOF,
WELL...
WE FOUND OUR FRIEND...
DEAD.
YOU WERE SEEN
WITH YOUR FRIEND
ON THAT ROOF
LESS THAN 15 MINUTES
BEFORE HE DIED.
THAT'S INCORRECT.
YOU'RE SURE ALL 4
OF YOUR BUDDIES ARE GONNA
BE ON THE SAME PAGE?
SURE AS SHOOTIN',
LADY.
SO, JOSHUA, WHAT ARE YOU
AND YOUR BAD‐ASS EX‐ARMY
BUDDIES ALL ABOUT, HUH?
IT'S YOUR WORLD.
YOU TELL ME.
MY WORLD?
THAT'S RIGHT...
DETECTIVE SIMONE.
IT'S YOUR WORLD.
I'M JUST TRYING
TO MOVE AROUND IN IT.
YOU WANT TO STAND UP
AND WALK AROUND?
WALK AROUND OUTSIDE?
HOW ABOUT I WALK
THE HELL OUT
THE FRONT DOOR ON MY OWN?
FREE COUNTRY.
YEAH, RIGHT.
DETECTIVE...
SIMONE.
JOSHUA, YOU ARE
ABSOLUTELY FREE
TO WALK OUT THAT DOOR.
BUT IF YOU STAY IN THIS ROOM
AND KEEP PUTTING
STINK ON MY NAME
EVERY TIME YOU SAY IT,
I'M GONNA HAVE TO
SMACK YOU IN THE MOUTH.
IS THAT HOW THEY DO IT
DOWN IN PUERTO RICO?
I'VE NEVER BEEN
TO PUERTO RICO.
THAT'S HOW WE DO IT
HERE IN THE BIG CITY.
SO IT WAS YOUR FOLKS
THAT CAME OVER.
YEAH. MY FOLKS CAME OVER.
HOW'D THEY LIKE
BEING STOWAWAYS?
JOSHUA, WE GOT
YOU AND YOUR BUDDIES
LYING ABOUT COMING
ON NEIL DEAD.
A WITNESS PUTS YOU
ON THAT ROOF 15 MINUTES
BEFORE HE DIED.
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T HEAR YOU.
WE GOT A WITNESS
PUTS YOU ON THAT ROOF.
YOU'RE LOOKIN'
AT A COLLAR FOR MURDER.
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T HEAR YOU.
JOSH, HOW COME I'M SO SURE
THAT WHEN I GO TO CHECK OUT
YOUR ARMY RECORDS,
YOU'RE GONNA TURN OUT
OTHER THAN HONORABLY
DISCHARGED?
WILL YOU NEED SOMEBODY
TO READ THAT TO YOU?
EXCUSE ME.
THAT WAS A HELL
OF A BEATING YOU
HANDED OUT TO ME.
THE DAY'S
STILL YOUNG.
AND SAN JUAN'S HOT.
YOU GOT A COUPLE
OF EXTRA FINGERS
AND TOES, JOSH?
YEAH.
ALL OF US ARE
IGNORANT REDNECKS.
ALL OF WHO, JOSH?
ATF'S GOT A PACKAGE
ON THIS ONE...
AND THE KID
GREG WAS TALKING TO
FOR GUN VIOLATIONS.
AND THIS ONE OF DIANE'S
IS SUSPECT IN A THEFT
OF EXPLOSIVES
FROM A POST IN GEORGIA.
I AIN'T GONNA GO BACK
AT HIM RIGHT NOW.
IT GIVES YOU SOMETHING
TO HOLD HIM ON.
HE AIN'T GOIN' NOWHERE.
HE'S GONNA WANT TO HUDDLE UP
WITH HIS ASSHOLE BUDDIES.
JOSH. THIS IS MY BOSS‐‐
LIEUTENANT FANCY.
HOW'S IT GOIN',
LIEUTENANT FANCY?
ALL RIGHT.
SO I'M GONNA
TAKE OFF.
WE CAN STILL REACH YOU
AT THAT HOTEL, RIGHT?
YEAH.
UH...I'M‐‐I'M
GONNA LEAVE HERE...
UNLESS YOU LET ME
TALK TO MY FRIENDS.
SURE. COME ON.
AND I WANT TO TALK
TO THEM IN PRIVATE.
OH, NO. WE CAN'T
LET YOU DO THAT.
Fancy: NOT RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE TRYING TO GET
EVERYONE'S STORY
STRAIGHT.
IT JUST MAKES
EVERYTHING ALL CONFUSED.
NEW YORK REVOKE THE RIGHT
TO ASSEMBLE? I WANT
TO SEE MY FRIENDS.
I WANT A RAISE.
I WANT A TRYOUT
WITH THE KNICKS.
LOOK, I'M‐‐
I'M GONNA SPLIT.
[SIGHS]
WELL,
YOU GOT YOURSELF
A LITTLE EXERCISE.
YEAH, LET ME JUST
TALK TO MICHAEL.
JOSH, I'M
ABSOLUTELY READY
THIS TURNS OUT
SOME GANG OF BLACK
OR PUERTO RICAN KIDS
COMIN' UP
ON YOU GUYS ON THE ROOF,
EVERYBODY RUNS BUT NEIL,
AND YOU GUYS
LEAVING YOUR FRIEND
TO GET KILLED.
THAT ALL FITS THE FACTS.
BUT UNTIL WE HEAR THIS
COMING FROM YOU,
WE GOTTA TREAT YOU
LIKE POSSIBLE
PERPETRATORS.
THAT'S IT.
THAT'S WHAT?
THAT'S JUST
HOW IT HAPPENED.
RIGHT, MICHAEL?
THEY GOT A WITNESS
THAT SA‐SAW US
ON THE ROOF JUST
BEFORE NEIL GOT KILLED.
THIS DETECTIVE HERE,
UH...
WORKED OUT THE REST
IN HIS HEAD.
THAT'S EERIE, MAN.
YOU GOT IT,
CHAPTER AND VERSE.
[CHUCKLES]
LET'S NAIL DOWN
THE DETAILS.
COME ON IN,
GUYS.
[WHISTLES]
WE COULD CHOOSE UP
SIDES FOR BASKETBALL.
GRAB A SEAT.
YOU'RE ALL WELCOME
TO ANYTHING WE GOT
IN THE FRIDGE THERE.
GOSH, IT'S LIKE
A 4‐H CLUB SOCIAL.
WHEN WE FIRST STARTED
TALKIN', I TOOK
A HALF A BURN AT TRUMAN,
TOLD HIM NOT TO HAVE
NONE OF OUR SNACKS.
WE'VE MADE FRIENDS SINCE,
RIGHT, DETECTIVE MARTINEZ?
YEAH. LAST 20 MINUTES,
YOU'VE HAD, WHAT,
3 CRULLERS?
WELL, THEY'RE GOOD CRULLERS.
SO, UH, JOSH AND MICHAEL
HAVE TOLD US WHAT REALLY
HAPPENED WITH NEIL.
AND IF YOU ALL AGREE
WITH THEIR VERSIONS,
YOU'LL BE DONE,
AND WE CAN GO AHEAD
WITH OUR INVESTIGATION.
A WITNESS SAW US ALL
ON TOP OF THE ROOF
15 MINUTES
BEFORE MY VAN WAS SET
ON FIRE, SO I TOLD THEM
ABOUT THE GANG
OF MARAUDING MULATTOS
ATTACKING US UP THERE
AND KILLING NEIL.
IT'S JUST LIKE THEY SAID.
Simone: GOOD.
THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENED.
THAT'S GREAT.
IF I WAS GONNA SAY
ONE THING TO YOU GUYS‐‐
DON'T LAND TOO HARD
ON YOURSELVES...OK?
IT'S GONNA BE REAL EASY
FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO CALL
YOU COWARDS OR SCUMBAGS
OR‐‐OR THAT YOU LEFT
YOUR FRIEND TO DIE.
BUT THEY WEREN'T
ON THAT ROOF.
THEY WEREN'T AFRAID
FOR THEIR LIVES.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY WOULD'VE DONE.
NO. THAT'S
DEFINITELY RIGHT.
WE'RE LOOKING
AT A FUTURE FILLED
WITH BEING UNCOMFORTABLE
LEAVING NEIL
TO THE MARAUDING
MULATTOS.
THAT'S GONNA WORK
ON OUR HEADS.
NO. HE'S SAYING
DON'T BE EMBARRASSED...
IF YOU BENT OVER
FOR THOSE GUYS OR
WHATEVER YOU HAD TO DO.
WHY DON'T YOU
BEND OVER FOR ME?
COME ON, COME ON,
COME ON, JOSH.
DON'T TALK LIKE THAT.
YOU OK?
BACK OFF ME.
SO...ARE WE
DONE HERE?
WELL,
WE'RE GONNA NEED
SOME STATEMENTS
FROM EACH
OF YOU.
WELL, JUST PUT
"MARAUDING MULATTOS
KILLED NEIL,"
AND SIGN
ALL OUR NAMES.
NO, WE NEED
SEPARATE STATEMENTS
WITH SOME DETAILS.
OR WHAT?
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
ROYCE.
ROYCE, IF WE FEEL
THAT YOU GUYS ARE NOT
COOPERATING WITH US,
WE'RE GONNA BREAK
YOUR BALLS. NOW,
DO YOU REALLY WANT US
TO LOOK HARDER
AT THIS STORY
THAT YOU'RE TELLIN' US,
CHECK FOR ANY WANTS OUT
ON ANY OTHER MATTERS,
ANY OTHER AGENCIES
MAYBE THAT ARE LOOKIN'
TO TALK TO YOU GUYS?
WE'RE ALL WRITING
OUR STATEMENTS
IN THE SAME ROOM.
RIGHT HERE.
Kirkendall:
HEY, HEY.
NO TALKING
AMONGST YOURSELVES.
HOW DO YOU SPELL
"MARAUDING"?
HOW DO YOU SPELL "CAT"?
THIS IS DIANE RUSSELL,
15th DETECTIVE SQUAD.
HAS ANDY SIPOWICZ
COME BACK TO YOUR FLOOR?
SO THAT'S GOOD, ANYWAY,
IF HE'S IN RECOVERY.
HI, DOUG. I JUST WANTED
TO CHECK ON THE BOYS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHEN THEY'LL BE
BRINGING HIM UPSTAIRS?
WELL, IS HE WARM?
SEE HOW GINA
AND THE BABY ARE.
I'm sorry.
I stole your desk.
ANYWAYS, I KNOW ANDY'LL
STILL BE SLEEPING
WHEN THEY BRING HIM UP,
BUT WOULD YOU LET HIS WIFE
KNOW WE'RE THINKING OF HIM
AT HIS WORK,
AND, UH, WE SEND
OUR LOVE AND PRAYERS?
WELL, IF HE'S COUGHING,
I DON'T WANT HIM
TO BE OUTDOORS.
WELL, TELL HIM
MOM'S A BAD EGG
AND ASK KYLE IF MAYBE
HE'LL STAY IN WITH
HIS BROTHER AND PLAY.
HI. IT'S JAMES.
YEAH, I'M, UH...
GLAD I DIDN'T WAKE HIM.
DIANE RUSSELL. MM‐HMM.
THANKS SO MUCH. OK.
MOM SENDS BIG KISSES.
BYE.
THE NURSE SAYS
ANDY'S ALREADY
IN THE RECOVERY ROOM.
GOOD.
[BREATHING HARD]
I GOTTA...
DO THE PAPERS.
IT'S OK, ANDY.
I'LL...PUT
THE PAPERS TOGETHER,
AND THEN
I'LL COME HOME.
DR. GARRICK SAID
EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD.
HE SAID EVERYTHING
LOOKED GOOD AS FAR
AS HE COULD TELL.
READY ON MY COUNT.
1, 2, 3.
OHH! OHH!
ALL RIGHT,
MR. SIPOWICZ.
1, 2, 3.
OHHH...OHHH...
OHHH...OHHH...
OHHH...
OHHH...
OHHH...
OHHH...
GOTTA PUT THE‐‐
THE NEWS WITH THE FUNNIES.
THEN I'LL COME HOME.
OHHH...
YOU WONDER HOW IT IS,
PEOPLE PLAN WALKIN' UP,
PUTTIN' ICE PICKS
IN LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS' EARS.
WHY YOU GOT LOCKED UP
IN A CAGE THERE, JOSH,
WHILE I WAS OUT, WE GOT
NOTIFIED YOU'RE WANTED
IN SOME OTHER MATTERS.
I WANT A LAWYER.
OH, I'M ABOUT
TO TELL YOU ABOUT ALL
YOUR RIGHTS THERE, JOSH.
'CAUSE YOUR SITUATION
HAS TAKEN A KIND OF
LEFT WITH US, TOO.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
IT'S TAKEN A LEFT?
SIT DOWN.
IT'S JUST A FORMALITY.
YOU GOT THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT.
YOU GOT THE RIGHT
TO COUNSEL. IF YOU
CAN'T AFFORD COUNSEL,
SOME POSSIBLY
RACE‐MIXED ATTORNEY WILL
BE APPOINTED FOR YOU.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
MY SITUATION'S
TAKEN A LEFT?
"I'VE BEGUN WONDERING
IF 112,000 MAKES SENSE.
"IS IT REALISTIC?
"AS A STATEMENT,
IS IT WORTH THE LIFE
PROBABILITIES?
"I'M CERTAINLY WONDERING
ABOUT THE OBJECT.
IS THE ADDRESS
REALISTIC?"
THAT'S A LETTER FROM NEIL
THAT I GUESS WENT OUT
TO ALL YOU GUYS.
AND THEN BELOW‐‐
"CONFRONT NEIL ON THIS."
THIS STATEMENT THAT
YOU WROTE FOR US...
ABOUT THE MARAUDING
MULATTOS?
IT'S
THE SAME HANDWRITING AS
"CONFRONT NEIL ON THIS."
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T HEAR YOU.
[CHUCKLES]
YOU DIDN'T HEAR ME?
SORRY.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
COME IN!
BOBBY, I THINK 112,000
IS ACTUALLY 1/1/2000‐‐
JANUARY 1, 2000‐‐
THE TURN
OF THE MILLENNIUM.
YEAH. UH,
I ASKED THIS ROYCE,
AND, UH,
HE GOT KINDA OUCHY.
GOOD WORK,
GREG.
MAYBE...THEY'RE PLANNING
SOME RIGHT‐WING
DOOMSDAY EVENT
FOR AN ADDRESS
HERE IN NEW YORK.
BELIEVE ME,
WHAT YOU TOOK
FROM OUR ROOMS...
ILLEGAL SEARCH.
OH, WE WENT
TO THAT MOTEL
TRYING TO GET
AN ADDRESS
SO WE COULD CONTACT
NEIL'S NEXT OF KIN.
MY ASS.
WE WERE SUSPECTS,
AND YOU WENT THERE
FISHING FOR EVIDENCE
AGAINST US.
AND THAT'S
INADMISSIBLE IN COURT.
JOSH, WE NEVER
PRESSED YOU
ON THE STORY
THAT YOU TOLD US.
WE HAD YOU
ALL IN THE ROOM
WRITING UP
YOUR STATEMENTS.
NOW THAT WOULD
SHOW IN ANY COURT
THAT WE WERE NOT
TREATING YOU
LIKE SUSPECTS
AND THAT WAS
NOT THE PURPOSE
OF OUR SEARCH.
WELL, ANYWAYS...
"CONFRONT NEIL ON THIS"
DOESN'T MEAN DICK.
EVEN IF IT IS COMING
FROM 5 LOSERS
THAT ARE LOOKING
AT THE WORLD
OUT THEIR ASSES.
"CONFRONT NEIL
ON THIS"‐‐
TALKING ABOUT BLOWING UP
INNOCENT PEOPLE
MAYBE AT THE U. N.
OR THE STATUE OF LIBERTY
OR ELLIS ISLAND
ON NEW YEAR'S 2000.
FREE EXPRESSION.
BUT YOU SEE, WHEN
A BODY SHOWS UP, JOSH,
THEN WE GOT A DIFFERENT
KIND OF PROBLEM HERE.
WE TOLD YOU
WHAT HAPPENED TO NEIL.
YEAH, YOU DID,
AND ALL OF US
DETECTIVES KNEW
THAT ONCE WE GOT YOU
BACK INTO SEPARATE ROOMS
AND YOU STARTED
GETTING SCARED,
NO ONE WAS GONNA WEAKEN.
THAT'S HOW
YOU SIZED IT UP
WHEN YOU CHECKED OUT
YOUR PALS BACK IN
THE COFFEE ROOM,
RIGHT, JOSH?
SO WHEN ROYCE IN THERE
WITH THE LOW FOREHEAD
STARTS PUKING
YOUR PLANS OUT
ABOUT 12 SECONDS AFTER
DETECTIVE MEDAVOY
GETS HIM BACK ALONE,
I GUESS THAT WAS HIM
JUST JERKING US
DUMB COPS AROUND.
OR THE OTHER GUYS,
WHILE WE'RE SHOWING THEM
NEIL'S FAREWELL PARTY
INVITATIONS
OR THE 4‐19 MANIFESTOS
OR ALL THE OTHER CRAP
THAT WE FOUND
IN YOUR ROOMS,
NOBODY'S GONNA
START LOOKING OUT
FOR NUMBER ONE.
I KILLED NO ONE.
UH‐HUH.
I KILLED NO ONE
ON THAT ROOF.
OH, I WANNA HEAR
ALL ABOUT
WHAT YOU WEREN'T
INVOLVED WITH UP
ON THAT ROOF, JOSH,
BUT FIRST I'M GONNA
TELL YOU A LITTLE
FAMILY HISTORY.
MY FATHER'S PORTUGUESE,
MY MOTHER'S FRENCH.
THEY MET IN BELIZE.
NOW I KNOW THAT YOU'RE
NOT THAT HIP
ON GEOGRAPHY,
SO JUST TRY
TO THINK OF IT
AS ONE OF THE HORDE
OF THIRD‐WORLD NATIONS
THAT SURROUND AMERICA.
IT'S GONNA BE ONE
WORLD GOVERNMENT
SOON ANYWAY.
THEY MET IN BELIZE,
JOSH, NOT PUERTO RICO,
[LAUGHING]
AND WHEN I WAS 3,
WE CAME UP HERE.
SEE, IT'S NOT THAT
I WOULD MIND BEING
PUERTO RICAN,
BUT FOR THE QUIET TIME
THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
IN BETWEEN ARYAN NATION
MEETINGS WHILE YOU'RE
IN THE JOINT,
I JUST WANTED YOU
TO HAVE THE FACTS
ON THE MONGREL'S
BACKGROUND
WHO ARRANGED
YOUR FUTURE FOR YOU.
OK, JOSH...
NOW START SELLING OUT
YOUR FRIENDS.
PEOPLE
USE DRUGS, OK?
NO ONE'S
PASSING JUDGMENT.
WHEN THEIR USE
INFRINGES,
DECISIONS
HAVE TO BE MADE.
THAT'S ALL
I GOT TO SAY.
WAS NEIL USING DRUGS?
I'M NOT GONNA
IMPINGE NEIL.
NEIL WAS A FRIEND
AND A GOOD PERSON.
HE WAS SUB‐‐
HE WAS SUBJECTED
TO A THOUSAND
SUBLIMINAL
BOMBARDMENTS.
DID YOU GUYS FEEL
NEIL WAS SOME TYPE
SECURITY RISK?
DID I?
DON'T ASK ME
WHAT I FELT.
NO ONE ELSE
EVER DID.
SO, WHAT HAPPENED
TO NEIL,
THAT WASN'T YOUR IDEA.
DON'T ASK
WHAT MY IDEAS WERE.
BELIEVE ME...
I DIDN'T HAVE THEM.
WHO HAD THE IDEAS?
BELIEVE ME...
NOT ME.
A REVOLUTION
WAS FOUGHT
TO DEFEND THE RIGHT
TO BEAR ARMS.
2 OR MORE RACES
IN THE SAME COUNTRY
HAS HISTORICALLY
NEVER WORKED.
IF YOU THINK THAT
I WANTED TO SEE...
THE FIRST GUY
I SAT WITH
ON THE BUS...
DIE BEGGING...
NOT TO GET SHOT
IN THE BACK
OF HIS HEAD...
BELIEVE ME...
THAT'S WHERE
I DRAW THE LINE.
WHO SHOT NEIL
IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD?
BELIEVE ME...
IT WASN'T ME...
OR ROYCE OR TRUMAN...
OR JOSH.
SO I GUESS NEIL SENT
LETTERS TO ALL YOU GUYS.
THEN JOSH SENT A COPY
OF NEIL'S LETTER
TO ALL OF YOU
EXCEPT NEIL
WHERE HE WROTE,
"CONFRONT NEIL ON THIS
WHEN WE GET TOGETHER."
THEN ON YOUR COPY
OF THAT LETTER,
YOU WROTE,
"LESS TALK, MORE ACTION."
SEE, THE HANDWRITING
ON "LESS TALK,
MORE ACTION," MICHAEL,
THAT MATCHES
YOUR WRITTEN STATEMENT.
THAT'S THE FAMOUS
"LESS TALK, MORE ACTION"
CRIME, RIGHT?
NO, MICHAEL.
THAT'S THE FAMOUS
"JOHN ADMITS ONE OF YOU
GUYS KILLED NEIL,
BUT IT WASN'T HIM, JOSH,
ROYCE, OR TRUMAN" CRIME.
HOW ABOUT THE FAMOUS...
"SOMEBODY WHISPERS
IN YOUR EAR,
"DO IT TO HIM,
OR I DO IT TO YOU"
CRIME?
IF YOU'RE SAYING
YOU KILLED NEIL
IN FEAR
FOR YOUR OWN LIFE,
THAT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE
PRETTY MITIGATING
CIRCUMSTANCES.
YEAH? WELL,
YOU FIGURE OUT
WHO DID THE WHISPERING.
YOU FILL IN THE NAME
OFF YOUR OWN
OBSERVATION.
NO.
YOU GOTTA GIVE HIM UP.
SURE.
REAL EASY.
GIVE UP YOUR FRIEND.
YEAH. YEAH, A FRIEND
WHO TOLD YOU
TO KILL ONE
OF YOUR OTHER FRIENDS,
OR HE WAS
GONNA KILL YOU.
OK?
YEAH.
NOW WRITE WHAT
JOSH MADE YOU DO.
HEY.
SURE MISSED
THE PAPERWORK.
YEAH. UH,
WHEN YOU'RE DONE,
I WANNA SHOW YOU
THE VIDEOTAPE
OF ABBY'S DELIVERY.
RIGHT.
JAMES IS FINISHING UP HIS 5,
AND THEN I'M GONNA SHOW HIM
THE DELIVERY TAPE.
WELL, SHOULD WE WAIT
SEEING ANDY?
MAYBE WAIT TILL MORNING.
YEAH. LET HIM GET HIMSELF
TOGETHER A LITTLE BIT.
SO WHY THIS NEIL
HAD TO DIE?
RESIGNING FROM
THE EXPLOSION‐SITE
COMMITTEE,
HE'D BECOME A TOOL
OF INTERNATIONAL ZIONISM
AND THE NONWHITE RACES,
DILUTING
CHRISTIAN VALUES
AND UNDERMINING
THE BILL OF RIGHTS.
THAT WAS BAD.
PLUS BEING
THE FIRST IN HIS GROUP
TO TRY TO GROW UP.
Greg on videotape:
GOOD GIRL, GOOD GIRL.
THERE. SEE THAT, JAMES?
[ABBY MOANING
IN PAIN]
THAT'S THE BABY'S
CROWNING.
THAT'S THE TOP
OF THE BABY'S HEAD
BEGINNING TO EMERGE.
LOOK HOW FOCUSED
ABBY IS
THROUGH THIS PART
OF THE LABOR.
Abby: SHUT UP, GREG!
Greg: GOOD, GOOD.
HEY, GREG, YOU WANNA
STOP THE TAPE
FOR A SECOND?
RIGHT HERE, OR DO YOU
WANT ME TO REWIND?
Greg: ATTA‐GIRL, ABBY.
NO, I TELL YOU...
I TELL YOU, UH...
THAT'S SUCH A...
BEAUTIFUL,
PRIVATE MOMENT.
IT IS, ISN'T IT?
IT IS. IT'S SO, UH...
PRIVATE.
IT WAS JUST AS BEAUTIFUL
LOOKING AT THAT PHOTO
YOU SHOWED ME
OF GINA AND JAMES JR.
YEAH. WITH THE BABY
WRAPPED IN HIS BLANKET
SEVERAL HOURS
AFTER THE DELIVERY.
I APPRECIATE YOUR
SHARING THAT WITH ME.
[ABBY MOANING]
LET'S GIVE YOU SOME
MORE MEDICINE, ANDY.
IT'S OK.
THE MACHINE WON'T
LET YOU HAVE
ANY MORE MEDICINE
THAN YOU'RE ALLOWED.
I WANNA KEEP IT
IN RESERVE.
SO THEY THINK IT'S
NOT SPREAD TOO BAD?
NONE OF THE NODES
LOOKED POSITIVE,
AND THAT'S WHY
HE WENT AHEAD
WITH THE PROCEDURE.
OH, THAT'S RIGHT.
I DON'T MIND
REPEATING GOOD NEWS.
ARE YOU READY TO TRY
WALKING A LITTLE,
MR. SIPOWICZ?
FOR MY BLOOD CLOTS
IN MY LEGS.
SO YOU DON'T
GET BLOOD CLOTS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
IF IT GOES TO YOUR CHEST,
YOU'RE IN TROUBLE.
MIMI'S GONNA
HELP YOU WALK.
AND WHILE
YOU'RE DOING THAT,
I'M GONNA STRAIGHTEN
YOUR BED FOR YOU.
FIRST, WE'RE GONNA
SIT YOU UP.
I'M GONNA PUT MY HAND
BEHIND YOUR NECK.
IT'LL BE
LESS UNCOMFORTABLE
IF YOU LET ME
BRING YOU FORWARD.
I KEPT THINKING
ABOUT THE CANDY STORE.
YEAH. YOU WERE
TALKING ABOUT
PUTTING THE SUNDAY
PAPERS TOGETHER.
WAS I? THAT WAS
ONE OF MY JOBS.
I THINK YOU THOUGHT
YOU WERE LATE
FOR SOMETHING.
THEY'D LET ME
USE THEIR PHONE.
I WAS PROBABLY
CALLING MY MOM.
AS MR. SIPOWICZ SITS UP,
YOU CAN BRING HIS FEET
TO THE SIDE OF THE BED.
ALL RIGHT.
READY, MR. SIPOWICZ?
GO AHEAD, YES.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT,
ANDY?
IT'S...IT'S NOT TOO BAD.
JUST GET YOUR BEARINGS
FOR A FEW SECONDS.
THAT'S NOT TOO BAD,
THAT DISCOMFORT.
GOOD.
THAT THING'S
GONNA ROLL WITH ME?
Nurse: THEY'LL ALL
ROLL WITH YOU.
ARE YOU DIZZY AT ALL?
NO MORE THAN NORMAL.
DO YOU WANNA
TRY STANDING?
YEAH.
HERE I GO.
OK.
OHH.
OHH!
THAT'S YOUR INCISION
STRETCHING, MR. SIPOWICZ.
Sylvia: DO YOU WANNA
SIT BACK DOWN, ANDY?
TRY TO TAKE
SOME DEEP BREATHS.
GOOD, ANDY.
[COUGHS]
[GROANING
PAINFULLY]
OH, IT HURTS.
I'M SORRY,
ANDY.
DO YOU WANT THIS NOW?
NO. THAT'S FOR MY RESERVE.
THIS IS AS BAD AS IT'S
GONNA GET, MR. SIPOWICZ.
NOW SHOULD I WALK?
TRY TO TAKE
A FEW STEPS.
I'LL...I'LL HOLD
MY ROLLER.
YOU HOLD YOUR ROLLER,
AND WE'RE GONNA
HAVE OUR HANDS
RIGHT AT YOUR ELBOWS.
AREN'T YOU WORKING
A LONG SHIFT?
Nurse: MIMI WANTED
TO SEE MR. SIPOWICZ
THROUGH
GETTING UP
ON HIS FEET.
ARE YOU
ALL RIGHT, ANDY?
YEAH. IT'S NOT TOO BAD.
GOOD MORNING, DOCTOR.
DID YOU GET
A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP?
8 GOOD HOURS.
HE LOOKS VERY ALERT.
HOW DID YOU DO?
ASK YOUR NEXT QUESTION.
I'M GOING TO TALK YOU
THROUGH THE PROCEDURE AGAIN
FOR YOUR SURGERY, ANDY.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU'LL MEET
YOUR ANESTHESIOLOGIST
IN THE HOLDING AREA‐‐
HE KNOWS NOT TO USE
NO DYE.
NO. WE'RE NOT GOING TO
USE ANY RADIOACTIVE DYE.
HE'LL GO OVER YOUR HISTORY
WITH YOU AND GIVE YOU
SOMETHING TO RELAX,
AND THEN AFTER A WHILE,
YOU AND I WILL GET BACK
TOGETHER.
THIS IS IN
THE SURGERY ROOM?
Dr. Garrick:
THAT'S RIGHT.
HE'LL GIVE YOU YOUR ANESTHETIC,
YOU'LL GO TO SLEEP,
AND THEN I'LL DO
YOUR OPERATION.
I'LL EXAMINE YOUR AORTA
AND THE SIDES OF
YOUR BLADDER AND BOWEL
TO MAKE SURE YOUR CANCER
HASN'T SPREAD.
THEN I'LL REMOVE
YOUR PROSTATE AND
THE TUMOR THAT'S IN IT.
OK.
WHEN YOU WAKE UP,
YOU'LL HAVE AN INCISION
FROM THE BASE OF YOUR PENIS
TO A LITTLE ABOVE
YOUR BELLY BUTTON,
A TUBE IN YOUR BLADDER
TO DRAIN YOUR URINE,
AND YOU'RE GOING
TO HURT LIKE HELL.
BUT YOU'LL HAVE A MACHINE
THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE
TO REGULATE
TO GIVE YOU PAIN MEDICINE.
WE KNOW PATIENTS
DO BETTER
WHO CONTROL THAT PART
OF THEIR CARE THEMSELVES.
SHE'LL HAVE TO DO THAT.
ANDY, YOUR ADDICTION'S
A DIFFERENT THING
FROM PHYSICAL PAIN.
I'M GONNA BE HERE.
YOU'LL HAVE SOME
ELASTIC STOCKINGS ON
TO PREVENT COMPLICATIONS
FROM BLOOD CLOTS,
AND WHEN YOU'RE
NOT TOO WOOZY,
WE'LL GET YOU ON YOUR FEET
A LITTLE WHILE AS WELL.
SOUNDS LIKE A FULL DAY.
WE'VE GOT A RIGHT TO BE
OPTIMISTIC, ANDY.
YOUR SCAN SHOWED NO EVIDENCE
THE TUMOR'S SPREAD.
THAT DOESN'T ABSOLUTELY
PROVE IT HASN'T‐‐
THAT'S WHY DR. GARRICK'S
GOING TO EXAMINE
YOUR LYMPH NODES.
BUT A PSA LEVEL OF 6
PUTS THE ODDS
IN OUR FAVOR.
THAT'S MY PROSTRATE SCORE
ON MY BLOOD TEST.
EXACTLY RIGHT.
Nurse: THEY'RE
READY TO TAKE YOU
TO THE SURGICAL
HOLDING AREA,
MR. SIPOWICZ.
FINE.
IT IS GOING TO BE
A FULL DAY,
AND YOU'RE GOING TO
COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE.
FINE.
THANKS.
SURE.
HE'S GOT A BULLET WOUND
IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD.
[SIMONE SIGHS]
THE GUY IN THAT WINDOW'S
COMING DOWN HERE.
HE WAS SIGNALING
LIKE HE WAS ON
A BATTLESHIP CARRIER.
CHECK OUT HOW TORN UP
MY BOYS ARE OVER THERE
ABOUT THEIR FRIEND?
Parking Attendant:
HE'S BURNT?
Medavoy:
HE'S BURNT.
TOTALLY BURNT?
TOTALLY BURNT.
THE PARKING ATTENDANT.
WHOA.
Medavoy:
TOTALLY BURNT.
HEY, I'M DOWNSTAIRS,
WHY I'M NOT AWARE
OF THE FIRE AND SUCH.
YOU DON'T REMEMBER THIS VAN
COMING IN HERE?
NO. I, UH, WASN'T
AWARE OF IT.
DID YOU NOTICE
ANY OTHER CARS
LEAVING QUICKLY
IN THE COURSE
OF THE NIGHT?
NO.
NOTHING YOU'RE
AWARE OF.
IS THIS GONNA TAKE
MUCH LONGER?
2 MORE MINUTES, YOU'LL BE
ON YOUR FIRST BOILERMAKER.
WHERE'S YOUR EQUIPMENT SHOWS
TRAFFIC GOING IN, COMING OUT?
REPOSSESSED.
REPOSSESSED?
ALL RIGHT.
COME WITH ME.
RECITE YOUR NAME, SO FORTH,
THEN YOU'RE DISMISSED.
YOU WANT MY NAME?
VAN BELONGS TO YOU?
YEAH. NEIL BORROWED IT
ABOUT, WHAT, UH,
8:30 LAST NIGHT?
COULD'VE BEEN
UP TO 10:00.
I HAD A COUPLE OF BEERS.
GUESS WE ALL HAD.
MORNING.
HEY, POP!
YEAH, POP.
RIGHT BACK AT YA.
WELCOME BACK,
JAMES.
THANKS, JILL.
JAMES MARTINEZ!
GOD BLESS.
HEY, BOBBY.
THANKS A LOT.
Kirkendall:
DETECTIVE MARTINEZ
AND HIS WIFE
HAD A BABY BOY
3 WEEKS AGO.
YES, I‐‐I DID ALSO.
UH, DIFFERENT
CIRCUMSTANCES.
CONGRATULATIONS.
HOW MANY ARE YOU AND
YOUR WIFE UP TO NOW,
DETECTIVE MARTINEZ?
THAT'S OUR FIRST ONE.
SO THE D. O. A.'s IN THE VAN?
YEAH. NEIL STREETER.
NEIL'S FRIENDS CAME
LOOKING FOR HIM
THIS MORNING.
YEAH. NEIL, UH, BORROWED
MY VAN LAST NIGHT.
YOU PARK HERE FOR THE PLACE
WE'RE STAYING AT.
LOOKS LIKE BEFORE
HE GOT BURNED UP,
YOUR BUDDY GOT SHOT.
IS THAT RIGHT?
Simone: YEAH.
BACK OF HIS HEAD.
Kirkendall:
THE FELLAS SAW NEIL LAST
BETWEEN 8:30 AND 10:00
LAST NIGHT.
HE BORROWED JOSH'S VAN.
HE WENT OUT
BY HIMSELF?
HE SAID HE WANTED TO DO
SOMETHING ON HIS OWN.
HE WAS BEING
A LITTLE MYSTERIOUS.
HE WAS BEING MYSTERIOUS
ABOUT WHAT HE WANTED
TO DO, SO...
I JUST GAVE HIM THE KEYS.
THESE GUYS
WERE IN THE SERVICE
TOGETHER 4 YEARS AGO.
SOME REUNION.
YEAH, WELL, I'M SORRY
IT TURNED OUT THIS WAY.
WHAT BRANCH OF THE SERVICE
YOU GUYS IN?
ARMY.
FORT DRUM.
WHAT BRANCH
WERE YOU IN?
ARMY RESERVES.
SO, UH, HOW WILL YOU
SOLVE WHAT HAPPENED?
WE'LL CANVASS,
LOOK FOR POSSIBLE
WITNESSES.
DID THAT ATTENDANT
SEE ANYTHING?
YEAH, WE'RE GONNA BE
TALKING TO HIM SOME MORE.
WAS HE ASLEEP?
LISTEN, GUYS,
I THINK
IT'LL BE BETTER
IF WE ALL GO TALK AT
THE STATION HOUSE.
SURE.
ON, UH, WHAT BASIS
IS THAT?
AS MUCH AS WE CAN GET
ON PEOPLE YOU AND NEIL
MIGHT'VE MET,
PLACES YOU WENT
HE MAY HAVE GONE
BACK TO.
ALL THAT COULD BE HELPFUL
IN WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
COULD WE DO THAT LATER?
WELL, IT'D BE GREAT IF
WE COULD DO IT RIGHT NOW.
WHATEVER WE CAN DO
TO HELP.
Kirkendall: WE'LL
DRIVE YOU OVER.
ANYONE KNOW HOW TO
CONTACT NEIL'S FAMILY?
Josh: NO. UH‐UH.
SO, UH, THIS GENTLEMAN SAW
THAT VAN PARK ON THE ROOF
AT 2:00 THIS MORNING.
THERE WERE A BUNCH
OF GUYS IN THAT VAN
WHO COULD BE
THOSE GUYS.
COME OVER HERE
WITH ME, SIR.
TALK IN
A LOWER VOICE,
ALL RIGHT?
ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER,
I SAW THE VAN ON FIRE.
WHAT WERE THE GUYS
DOING?
THERE WAS NO ONE
LEFT AROUND.
I MEAN, THE DEAD MAN
MUST'VE BEEN IN THE VAN,
BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
YOU DIDN'T HEAR ANY
SHOTS OR THE LIKE,
ANY LOUD VOICES?
NO.
WHAT WERE YOU DOING
IN THE INTERVENING
15 MINUTES?
OFFICE WORK.
THIS IS BETWEEN
1:45 AND 2 A. M.?
YOU WORKING
WITH ANYONE?
MY SECRETARY.
MMM.
WHO SAW NOTHING...
AND WHOM I DON'T
WANT INVOLVED.
NO PROBLEM.
CAN I GET JUST YOUR NAME
AND PHONE NUMBER, SIR?
Y‐YOU WANT MY NAME?
JUST YOUR NAME
AND PHONE NUMBER.
SO, UH, THIS WAS LIKE
A REUNION, HUH?
FORT DRUM.
THAT'S UP NEAR CANADA.
NEAR WATERTOWN.
PRETTY COLD.
I'D HAVE FIGURED
YOUR REUNION FOR MIAMI.
HOW'D YOU COME
TO PICK NEW YORK?
ALL THE WONDERFUL SIGHTS.
STATUE OF LIBERTY...
ELLIS ISLAND...
U.N.
WHERE YOU FROM, JOHN?
HUNTSBURG, OHIO.
EVER HEAR OF IT?
MM‐MMM.
NICE TOWN?
IF YOU WERE A SARDINE,
WOULD YOU PREFER
LIVING IN A CAN
OR HAVING ROOM TO SWIM?
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
I'VE BEEN A CAN DWELLER
ALL MY LIFE.
ANY IDEA HOW NEIL
WOUND UP DEAD?
MY IDEAS WON'T HELP YOU
SOLVE YOUR CRIME.
LAY ONE ON ME.
BASED ON WHO LIVES HERE,
HOW THEY'RE LIVING,
AND UNDER WHOSE THUMB
THEY'RE SQUIRMING UNDER,
YOU HAVE A LARGE
CHOICE OF OPTIONS.
YOU'RE NOT HELPING ME NARROW
DOWN MY SUSPECT LIST, JOHN.
I DIDN'T PICK THE BIG APPLE'S
POPULATION.
YOU, UM...
YOU MIND STICKING AROUND
A FEW MINUTES MORE?
DO I MIND? YES.
AM I LEAVING
MY FRIENDS BEHIND?
I GUESS YOU WERE NEVER
IN THE SERVICE.
YOU AND ME LUCK OUT,
TRUMAN.
GET TO TALK
IN THE REFRESHMENT ROOM.
YEAH, IT'S A GREAT DAY.
I DIDN'T MEAN
TO SOUND OFF‐HANDED.
I REALIZE YOU JUST
LOST YOUR FRIEND.
WHATEVER.
ARE YOU PISSED OFF AT ME
FOR SOME REASON?
WHY WOULD I BE
PISSED OFF AT YOU?
WELL, THAT'S WHAT
I'M WONDERING.
WHAT DID YOU
WANT TO ASK ME...
DETECTIVE MARTINEZ?
DOESN'T THAT QUALIFY
AS A QUESTION?
WHAT ARE YOU ACTING
PISSED OFF FOR?
I'M NOT UNDER ARREST,
AM I?
NO, YOU'RE NOT
UNDER ARREST.
I'M JUST TRYING TO GET
YOUR HELP ON WHAT HAPPENED
WITH YOUR FRIEND.
AND IF I WAS
ARRESTED,
I WOULDN'T HAVE
TO SPEAK
WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY
PRESENT. WOULD I?
NO, YOU WOULDN'T.
AND NOT BEING
ARRESTED,
I ALSO DON'T
HAVE TO SPEAK.
SO, TRUMAN, YOU FIND
YOURSELF SPONTANEOUSLY
HITTING IT OFF REAL GOOD
WITH PEOPLE YOU JUST MET?
WE REPORTED
WHAT HAPPENED TO NEIL.
YOU PEOPLE CAN
MESS IT UP FROM THERE.
DON'T TAKE NONE
OF THE REFRESHMENTS.
SO, UH, NEIL SAYS
HE'S TAKING A RIDE
UP TO MIDTOWN.
DID HE TELL YOU
WHERE ESPECIALLY
HE WAS LOOKING TO GO‐‐
UH, TIMES SQUARE,
ROCKEFELLER CENTER?
HE WAS LOOKING
FOR THE PEEP SHOWS,
THE DIRTY MOVIE PLACES.
MAYBE TO MEET SOMEBODY.
SO THIS‐‐
THIS'D BE LIKE,
UH, EIGHTH AVENUE,
45th STREET?
WELL, I GUESS YOU'D KNOW THAT
BETTER THAN ME.
DID HE SAY HE WAS INTERESTED
IN ACTUALLY BUYING SEX?
HE WAS LOOKING
FOR A BLACK GIRL.
NOW, SEE,
THAT'S HELPFUL.
WE COULD SHOW
NEIL'S PICTURE
TO BLACK GIRLS
ON THE STROLL
ON 45th STREET,
MAYBE GET A TIME LINE
WHEN HE WAS LAST SEEN.
MAYBE ONE OF THEIR
BLACK PIMPS KILLED HIM.
THAT'S ALWAYS
A POSSIBILITY.
OR MAYBE THE BLACK WHORE
HAD A RAZOR UNDER HER TONGUE
AND CUT HIS THROAT.
NEIL BEING BURNED UP
LIKE THAT,
YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE
TO TELL.
THAT'S A, UH,
POSSIBLE SCENARIO
AS WELL.
SO WHY DON'T YOU
GO WORK THAT OUT?
HAVE YOU GOT ME
CONFUSED SOMEHOW
WITH SOMEONE
AWAITING ORDERS
FROM YOU, ROYCE?
OH, YEAH. WHAT'S
THE MATTER WITH ME‐‐
THINKING GOVERNMENTAL
EMPLOYEES WORK
FOR THE PEOPLE?
SPUR‐OF‐THE‐MOMENT
QUESTION, ROYCE.
YOU GOT ANY STRONG
POSITIONS ON CIVILIANS
BEARING FIREARMS?
YOU GOT ANY STRONG POSITIONS
ON THE BILL OF RIGHTS?
I'M FOR 'EM.
SO THAT WOULD INCLUDE
THE SECOND AMENDMENT?
ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTION
THEN, DIDN'T I?
EXCUSE ME
JUST A SECOND.
OH, BOY.
HEY, GREG.
HOW'D YOU GUYS DO
ON THE CANVASS?
OK.
OH, I‐‐I...
I WAS JUST SPEAKING
WITH, UH, ROYCE,
UH, FRIEND
OF THE VICTIM.
I'M GONNA BRIEF
LIEUTENANT FANCY.
YEAH, WE'RE GONNA
BRIEF HIM, TOO.
HOW'S IT GOING, GUYS?
SAY, YOU FIGURE
WHO KILLED NEIL YET?
I WISH WE WORKED
THAT QUICK.
ANYBODY TALK
TO YOU GUYS YET?
NOBODY YET.
MM‐HMM.
WELL, SOMEBODY'LL BE
WITH YOU IN A FEW MINUTES.
Josh: SWELL.
I GOT SOME STRONG
RIGHT‐WING WHIFF OFF
MY GUY I INTERVIEWED.
YEAH, RIGHT‐WING WHIFF.
DID YOU GET THAT
OFF YOURS?
YEAH, BUT I'M NOT
GONNA TRY AND SAY IT
TOO MANY MORE TIMES.
MY MAN JOHN'S
GOT US CITY FOLK
PEGGED FOR HELL.
ABOUT 2:00 IN THE MORNING,
GUY IN AN OFFICE BUILDING
THAT OVERLOOKS THIS ROOF
SEES A BUNCH OF GUYS
PARK, GET OUT, AND SET UP
LIKE THEY'RE GONNA PARTY.
ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER,
THE GUY LOOKS OUT AGAIN.
THE CAR'S ON FIRE.
EVERYONE'S GONE.
ON HIS FIRST LOOK,
DID HE NOTICE
ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROOF
BESIDES THE GUYS
HE THOUGHT
WERE GONNA PARTY?
HE SAID HE COULDN'T SWEAR
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER IF THERE
WAS ANYONE ELSE UP THERE.
I GUESS SOMEONE ELSE
COULD'VE COME UP BETWEEN
THE GUY'S LOOKS, TOO.
WHAT WAS HE DOING
AT THE OFFICE THAT LATE?
WORKING
WITH HIS SECRETARY.
AH.
LOT ATTENDANT
COULDN'T HELP?
HE WOULDN'T HAVE NOTICED
A MISSILE ATTACK.
OUR PUSH IS THE SAME
WHETHER THESE GUYS
DID IT THEMSELVES
OR SOMEBODY ELSE
CAME UP ON 'EM
AND THEY BOOKED.
THE WITNESS PUTTING THEM
ON THE ROOF CONTRADICTS
WHAT THEY TOLD US
AT THE CRIME SCENE.
AT THE CRIME SCENE,
THEY SAID THE D.O.A.
TOOK THE CAR OUT HIMSELF.
WILL YOU PEOPLE STAY AROUND
WHILE BOBBY AND DIANE
TALK TO THE LAST TWO?
YEAH. THEY'RE NOT LOOKIN'
TO GO NOWHERE.
I THINK THEY'RE ENJOYING
FEELING LIKE THEY'RE
GETTING US CONFUSED.
DARK HAIR'S GOT
A WAY WITH THE LADIES.
HOW ABOUT
IF I TAKE HIM?
I GOT THE OTHER
ASSHOLE.
HERE COMES
THE F‐TROOP.
COME ON, JOSHUA. I'LL
SHOW YOU HOW TO JIMMY
OUR SODA MACHINE.
JUST DON'T ARREST ME
FOR IT AFTERWARDS.
NAH. I WOULDN'T
SET YOU UP LIKE THAT.
YOU DREW ME,
MICHAEL.
WELL, I GUESS I GOT
ALL THE LUCK, HUH?
SO, WHERE YOU FROM?
THE WEST.
MOUNTAIN TIME ZONE?
THAT'S NOT BAD.
MONTANA, IDAHO?
2 GREAT STATES.
SO HOW COME YOU GUYS
DIDN'T TELL THE TRUTH
ABOUT BEING UP
ON THAT ROOF WITH NEIL
BEFORE HE WAS KILLED?
2 GREAT STATES.
I DON'T LIKE YOUR
CHANCES OF GETTING BACK
TO EITHER ONE OF THEM
IF YOU DON'T TELL ME
WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT ROOF.
[SIGHS HEAVILY]
IN THE PARKING LOT
ON THAT ROOF,
WELL...
WE FOUND OUR FRIEND...
DEAD.
YOU WERE SEEN
WITH YOUR FRIEND
ON THAT ROOF
LESS THAN 15 MINUTES
BEFORE HE DIED.
THAT'S INCORRECT.
YOU'RE SURE ALL 4
OF YOUR BUDDIES ARE GONNA
BE ON THE SAME PAGE?
SURE AS SHOOTIN',
LADY.
SO, JOSHUA, WHAT ARE YOU
AND YOUR BAD‐ASS EX‐ARMY
BUDDIES ALL ABOUT, HUH?
IT'S YOUR WORLD.
YOU TELL ME.
MY WORLD?
THAT'S RIGHT...
DETECTIVE SIMONE.
IT'S YOUR WORLD.
I'M JUST TRYING
TO MOVE AROUND IN IT.
YOU WANT TO STAND UP
AND WALK AROUND?
WALK AROUND OUTSIDE?
HOW ABOUT I WALK
THE HELL OUT
THE FRONT DOOR ON MY OWN?
FREE COUNTRY.
YEAH, RIGHT.
DETECTIVE...
SIMONE.
JOSHUA, YOU ARE
ABSOLUTELY FREE
TO WALK OUT THAT DOOR.
BUT IF YOU STAY IN THIS ROOM
AND KEEP PUTTING
STINK ON MY NAME
EVERY TIME YOU SAY IT,
I'M GONNA HAVE TO
SMACK YOU IN THE MOUTH.
IS THAT HOW THEY DO IT
DOWN IN PUERTO RICO?
I'VE NEVER BEEN
TO PUERTO RICO.
THAT'S HOW WE DO IT
HERE IN THE BIG CITY.
SO IT WAS YOUR FOLKS
THAT CAME OVER.
YEAH. MY FOLKS CAME OVER.
HOW'D THEY LIKE
BEING STOWAWAYS?
JOSHUA, WE GOT
YOU AND YOUR BUDDIES
LYING ABOUT COMING
ON NEIL DEAD.
A WITNESS PUTS YOU
ON THAT ROOF 15 MINUTES
BEFORE HE DIED.
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T HEAR YOU.
WE GOT A WITNESS
PUTS YOU ON THAT ROOF.
YOU'RE LOOKIN'
AT A COLLAR FOR MURDER.
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T HEAR YOU.
JOSH, HOW COME I'M SO SURE
THAT WHEN I GO TO CHECK OUT
YOUR ARMY RECORDS,
YOU'RE GONNA TURN OUT
OTHER THAN HONORABLY
DISCHARGED?
WILL YOU NEED SOMEBODY
TO READ THAT TO YOU?
EXCUSE ME.
THAT WAS A HELL
OF A BEATING YOU
HANDED OUT TO ME.
THE DAY'S
STILL YOUNG.
AND SAN JUAN'S HOT.
YOU GOT A COUPLE
OF EXTRA FINGERS
AND TOES, JOSH?
YEAH.
ALL OF US ARE
IGNORANT REDNECKS.
ALL OF WHO, JOSH?
ATF'S GOT A PACKAGE
ON THIS ONE...
AND THE KID
GREG WAS TALKING TO
FOR GUN VIOLATIONS.
AND THIS ONE OF DIANE'S
IS SUSPECT IN A THEFT
OF EXPLOSIVES
FROM A POST IN GEORGIA.
I AIN'T GONNA GO BACK
AT HIM RIGHT NOW.
IT GIVES YOU SOMETHING
TO HOLD HIM ON.
HE AIN'T GOIN' NOWHERE.
HE'S GONNA WANT TO HUDDLE UP
WITH HIS ASSHOLE BUDDIES.
JOSH. THIS IS MY BOSS‐‐
LIEUTENANT FANCY.
HOW'S IT GOIN',
LIEUTENANT FANCY?
ALL RIGHT.
SO I'M GONNA
TAKE OFF.
WE CAN STILL REACH YOU
AT THAT HOTEL, RIGHT?
YEAH.
UH...I'M‐‐I'M
GONNA LEAVE HERE...
UNLESS YOU LET ME
TALK TO MY FRIENDS.
SURE. COME ON.
AND I WANT TO TALK
TO THEM IN PRIVATE.
OH, NO. WE CAN'T
LET YOU DO THAT.
Fancy: NOT RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE TRYING TO GET
EVERYONE'S STORY
STRAIGHT.
IT JUST MAKES
EVERYTHING ALL CONFUSED.
NEW YORK REVOKE THE RIGHT
TO ASSEMBLE? I WANT
TO SEE MY FRIENDS.
I WANT A RAISE.
I WANT A TRYOUT
WITH THE KNICKS.
LOOK, I'M‐‐
I'M GONNA SPLIT.
[SIGHS]
WELL,
YOU GOT YOURSELF
A LITTLE EXERCISE.
YEAH, LET ME JUST
TALK TO MICHAEL.
JOSH, I'M
ABSOLUTELY READY
THIS TURNS OUT
SOME GANG OF BLACK
OR PUERTO RICAN KIDS
COMIN' UP
ON YOU GUYS ON THE ROOF,
EVERYBODY RUNS BUT NEIL,
AND YOU GUYS
LEAVING YOUR FRIEND
TO GET KILLED.
THAT ALL FITS THE FACTS.
BUT UNTIL WE HEAR THIS
COMING FROM YOU,
WE GOTTA TREAT YOU
LIKE POSSIBLE
PERPETRATORS.
THAT'S IT.
THAT'S WHAT?
THAT'S JUST
HOW IT HAPPENED.
RIGHT, MICHAEL?
THEY GOT A WITNESS
THAT SA‐SAW US
ON THE ROOF JUST
BEFORE NEIL GOT KILLED.
THIS DETECTIVE HERE,
UH...
WORKED OUT THE REST
IN HIS HEAD.
THAT'S EERIE, MAN.
YOU GOT IT,
CHAPTER AND VERSE.
[CHUCKLES]
LET'S NAIL DOWN
THE DETAILS.
COME ON IN,
GUYS.
[WHISTLES]
WE COULD CHOOSE UP
SIDES FOR BASKETBALL.
GRAB A SEAT.
YOU'RE ALL WELCOME
TO ANYTHING WE GOT
IN THE FRIDGE THERE.
GOSH, IT'S LIKE
A 4‐H CLUB SOCIAL.
WHEN WE FIRST STARTED
TALKIN', I TOOK
A HALF A BURN AT TRUMAN,
TOLD HIM NOT TO HAVE
NONE OF OUR SNACKS.
WE'VE MADE FRIENDS SINCE,
RIGHT, DETECTIVE MARTINEZ?
YEAH. LAST 20 MINUTES,
YOU'VE HAD, WHAT,
3 CRULLERS?
WELL, THEY'RE GOOD CRULLERS.
SO, UH, JOSH AND MICHAEL
HAVE TOLD US WHAT REALLY
HAPPENED WITH NEIL.
AND IF YOU ALL AGREE
WITH THEIR VERSIONS,
YOU'LL BE DONE,
AND WE CAN GO AHEAD
WITH OUR INVESTIGATION.
A WITNESS SAW US ALL
ON TOP OF THE ROOF
15 MINUTES
BEFORE MY VAN WAS SET
ON FIRE, SO I TOLD THEM
ABOUT THE GANG
OF MARAUDING MULATTOS
ATTACKING US UP THERE
AND KILLING NEIL.
IT'S JUST LIKE THEY SAID.
Simone: GOOD.
THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENED.
THAT'S GREAT.
IF I WAS GONNA SAY
ONE THING TO YOU GUYS‐‐
DON'T LAND TOO HARD
ON YOURSELVES...OK?
IT'S GONNA BE REAL EASY
FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO CALL
YOU COWARDS OR SCUMBAGS
OR‐‐OR THAT YOU LEFT
YOUR FRIEND TO DIE.
BUT THEY WEREN'T
ON THAT ROOF.
THEY WEREN'T AFRAID
FOR THEIR LIVES.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY WOULD'VE DONE.
NO. THAT'S
DEFINITELY RIGHT.
WE'RE LOOKING
AT A FUTURE FILLED
WITH BEING UNCOMFORTABLE
LEAVING NEIL
TO THE MARAUDING
MULATTOS.
THAT'S GONNA WORK
ON OUR HEADS.
NO. HE'S SAYING
DON'T BE EMBARRASSED...
IF YOU BENT OVER
FOR THOSE GUYS OR
WHATEVER YOU HAD TO DO.
WHY DON'T YOU
BEND OVER FOR ME?
COME ON, COME ON,
COME ON, JOSH.
DON'T TALK LIKE THAT.
YOU OK?
BACK OFF ME.
SO...ARE WE
DONE HERE?
WELL,
WE'RE GONNA NEED
SOME STATEMENTS
FROM EACH
OF YOU.
WELL, JUST PUT
"MARAUDING MULATTOS
KILLED NEIL,"
AND SIGN
ALL OUR NAMES.
NO, WE NEED
SEPARATE STATEMENTS
WITH SOME DETAILS.
OR WHAT?
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
ROYCE.
ROYCE, IF WE FEEL
THAT YOU GUYS ARE NOT
COOPERATING WITH US,
WE'RE GONNA BREAK
YOUR BALLS. NOW,
DO YOU REALLY WANT US
TO LOOK HARDER
AT THIS STORY
THAT YOU'RE TELLIN' US,
CHECK FOR ANY WANTS OUT
ON ANY OTHER MATTERS,
ANY OTHER AGENCIES
MAYBE THAT ARE LOOKIN'
TO TALK TO YOU GUYS?
WE'RE ALL WRITING
OUR STATEMENTS
IN THE SAME ROOM.
RIGHT HERE.
Kirkendall:
HEY, HEY.
NO TALKING
AMONGST YOURSELVES.
HOW DO YOU SPELL
"MARAUDING"?
HOW DO YOU SPELL "CAT"?
THIS IS DIANE RUSSELL,
15th DETECTIVE SQUAD.
HAS ANDY SIPOWICZ
COME BACK TO YOUR FLOOR?
SO THAT'S GOOD, ANYWAY,
IF HE'S IN RECOVERY.
HI, DOUG. I JUST WANTED
TO CHECK ON THE BOYS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHEN THEY'LL BE
BRINGING HIM UPSTAIRS?
WELL, IS HE WARM?
SEE HOW GINA
AND THE BABY ARE.
I'm sorry.
I stole your desk.
ANYWAYS, I KNOW ANDY'LL
STILL BE SLEEPING
WHEN THEY BRING HIM UP,
BUT WOULD YOU LET HIS WIFE
KNOW WE'RE THINKING OF HIM
AT HIS WORK,
AND, UH, WE SEND
OUR LOVE AND PRAYERS?
WELL, IF HE'S COUGHING,
I DON'T WANT HIM
TO BE OUTDOORS.
WELL, TELL HIM
MOM'S A BAD EGG
AND ASK KYLE IF MAYBE
HE'LL STAY IN WITH
HIS BROTHER AND PLAY.
HI. IT'S JAMES.
YEAH, I'M, UH...
GLAD I DIDN'T WAKE HIM.
DIANE RUSSELL. MM‐HMM.
THANKS SO MUCH. OK.
MOM SENDS BIG KISSES.
BYE.
THE NURSE SAYS
ANDY'S ALREADY
IN THE RECOVERY ROOM.
GOOD.
[BREATHING HARD]
I GOTTA...
DO THE PAPERS.
IT'S OK, ANDY.
I'LL...PUT
THE PAPERS TOGETHER,
AND THEN
I'LL COME HOME.
DR. GARRICK SAID
EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD.
HE SAID EVERYTHING
LOOKED GOOD AS FAR
AS HE COULD TELL.
READY ON MY COUNT.
1, 2, 3.
OHH! OHH!
ALL RIGHT,
MR. SIPOWICZ.
1, 2, 3.
OHHH...OHHH...
OHHH...OHHH...
OHHH...
OHHH...
OHHH...
OHHH...
GOTTA PUT THE‐‐
THE NEWS WITH THE FUNNIES.
THEN I'LL COME HOME.
OHHH...
YOU WONDER HOW IT IS,
PEOPLE PLAN WALKIN' UP,
PUTTIN' ICE PICKS
IN LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS' EARS.
WHY YOU GOT LOCKED UP
IN A CAGE THERE, JOSH,
WHILE I WAS OUT, WE GOT
NOTIFIED YOU'RE WANTED
IN SOME OTHER MATTERS.
I WANT A LAWYER.
OH, I'M ABOUT
TO TELL YOU ABOUT ALL
YOUR RIGHTS THERE, JOSH.
'CAUSE YOUR SITUATION
HAS TAKEN A KIND OF
LEFT WITH US, TOO.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
IT'S TAKEN A LEFT?
SIT DOWN.
IT'S JUST A FORMALITY.
YOU GOT THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT.
YOU GOT THE RIGHT
TO COUNSEL. IF YOU
CAN'T AFFORD COUNSEL,
SOME POSSIBLY
RACE‐MIXED ATTORNEY WILL
BE APPOINTED FOR YOU.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
MY SITUATION'S
TAKEN A LEFT?
"I'VE BEGUN WONDERING
IF 112,000 MAKES SENSE.
"IS IT REALISTIC?
"AS A STATEMENT,
IS IT WORTH THE LIFE
PROBABILITIES?
"I'M CERTAINLY WONDERING
ABOUT THE OBJECT.
IS THE ADDRESS
REALISTIC?"
THAT'S A LETTER FROM NEIL
THAT I GUESS WENT OUT
TO ALL YOU GUYS.
AND THEN BELOW‐‐
"CONFRONT NEIL ON THIS."
THIS STATEMENT THAT
YOU WROTE FOR US...
ABOUT THE MARAUDING
MULATTOS?
IT'S
THE SAME HANDWRITING AS
"CONFRONT NEIL ON THIS."
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T HEAR YOU.
[CHUCKLES]
YOU DIDN'T HEAR ME?
SORRY.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
COME IN!
BOBBY, I THINK 112,000
IS ACTUALLY 1/1/2000‐‐
JANUARY 1, 2000‐‐
THE TURN
OF THE MILLENNIUM.
YEAH. UH,
I ASKED THIS ROYCE,
AND, UH,
HE GOT KINDA OUCHY.
GOOD WORK,
GREG.
MAYBE...THEY'RE PLANNING
SOME RIGHT‐WING
DOOMSDAY EVENT
FOR AN ADDRESS
HERE IN NEW YORK.
BELIEVE ME,
WHAT YOU TOOK
FROM OUR ROOMS...
ILLEGAL SEARCH.
OH, WE WENT
TO THAT MOTEL
TRYING TO GET
AN ADDRESS
SO WE COULD CONTACT
NEIL'S NEXT OF KIN.
MY ASS.
WE WERE SUSPECTS,
AND YOU WENT THERE
FISHING FOR EVIDENCE
AGAINST US.
AND THAT'S
INADMISSIBLE IN COURT.
JOSH, WE NEVER
PRESSED YOU
ON THE STORY
THAT YOU TOLD US.
WE HAD YOU
ALL IN THE ROOM
WRITING UP
YOUR STATEMENTS.
NOW THAT WOULD
SHOW IN ANY COURT
THAT WE WERE NOT
TREATING YOU
LIKE SUSPECTS
AND THAT WAS
NOT THE PURPOSE
OF OUR SEARCH.
WELL, ANYWAYS...
"CONFRONT NEIL ON THIS"
DOESN'T MEAN DICK.
EVEN IF IT IS COMING
FROM 5 LOSERS
THAT ARE LOOKING
AT THE WORLD
OUT THEIR ASSES.
"CONFRONT NEIL
ON THIS"‐‐
TALKING ABOUT BLOWING UP
INNOCENT PEOPLE
MAYBE AT THE U. N.
OR THE STATUE OF LIBERTY
OR ELLIS ISLAND
ON NEW YEAR'S 2000.
FREE EXPRESSION.
BUT YOU SEE, WHEN
A BODY SHOWS UP, JOSH,
THEN WE GOT A DIFFERENT
KIND OF PROBLEM HERE.
WE TOLD YOU
WHAT HAPPENED TO NEIL.
YEAH, YOU DID,
AND ALL OF US
DETECTIVES KNEW
THAT ONCE WE GOT YOU
BACK INTO SEPARATE ROOMS
AND YOU STARTED
GETTING SCARED,
NO ONE WAS GONNA WEAKEN.
THAT'S HOW
YOU SIZED IT UP
WHEN YOU CHECKED OUT
YOUR PALS BACK IN
THE COFFEE ROOM,
RIGHT, JOSH?
SO WHEN ROYCE IN THERE
WITH THE LOW FOREHEAD
STARTS PUKING
YOUR PLANS OUT
ABOUT 12 SECONDS AFTER
DETECTIVE MEDAVOY
GETS HIM BACK ALONE,
I GUESS THAT WAS HIM
JUST JERKING US
DUMB COPS AROUND.
OR THE OTHER GUYS,
WHILE WE'RE SHOWING THEM
NEIL'S FAREWELL PARTY
INVITATIONS
OR THE 4‐19 MANIFESTOS
OR ALL THE OTHER CRAP
THAT WE FOUND
IN YOUR ROOMS,
NOBODY'S GONNA
START LOOKING OUT
FOR NUMBER ONE.
I KILLED NO ONE.
UH‐HUH.
I KILLED NO ONE
ON THAT ROOF.
OH, I WANNA HEAR
ALL ABOUT
WHAT YOU WEREN'T
INVOLVED WITH UP
ON THAT ROOF, JOSH,
BUT FIRST I'M GONNA
TELL YOU A LITTLE
FAMILY HISTORY.
MY FATHER'S PORTUGUESE,
MY MOTHER'S FRENCH.
THEY MET IN BELIZE.
NOW I KNOW THAT YOU'RE
NOT THAT HIP
ON GEOGRAPHY,
SO JUST TRY
TO THINK OF IT
AS ONE OF THE HORDE
OF THIRD‐WORLD NATIONS
THAT SURROUND AMERICA.
IT'S GONNA BE ONE
WORLD GOVERNMENT
SOON ANYWAY.
THEY MET IN BELIZE,
JOSH, NOT PUERTO RICO,
[LAUGHING]
AND WHEN I WAS 3,
WE CAME UP HERE.
SEE, IT'S NOT THAT
I WOULD MIND BEING
PUERTO RICAN,
BUT FOR THE QUIET TIME
THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
IN BETWEEN ARYAN NATION
MEETINGS WHILE YOU'RE
IN THE JOINT,
I JUST WANTED YOU
TO HAVE THE FACTS
ON THE MONGREL'S
BACKGROUND
WHO ARRANGED
YOUR FUTURE FOR YOU.
OK, JOSH...
NOW START SELLING OUT
YOUR FRIENDS.
PEOPLE
USE DRUGS, OK?
NO ONE'S
PASSING JUDGMENT.
WHEN THEIR USE
INFRINGES,
DECISIONS
HAVE TO BE MADE.
THAT'S ALL
I GOT TO SAY.
WAS NEIL USING DRUGS?
I'M NOT GONNA
IMPINGE NEIL.
NEIL WAS A FRIEND
AND A GOOD PERSON.
HE WAS SUB‐‐
HE WAS SUBJECTED
TO A THOUSAND
SUBLIMINAL
BOMBARDMENTS.
DID YOU GUYS FEEL
NEIL WAS SOME TYPE
SECURITY RISK?
DID I?
DON'T ASK ME
WHAT I FELT.
NO ONE ELSE
EVER DID.
SO, WHAT HAPPENED
TO NEIL,
THAT WASN'T YOUR IDEA.
DON'T ASK
WHAT MY IDEAS WERE.
BELIEVE ME...
I DIDN'T HAVE THEM.
WHO HAD THE IDEAS?
BELIEVE ME...
NOT ME.
A REVOLUTION
WAS FOUGHT
TO DEFEND THE RIGHT
TO BEAR ARMS.
2 OR MORE RACES
IN THE SAME COUNTRY
HAS HISTORICALLY
NEVER WORKED.
IF YOU THINK THAT
I WANTED TO SEE...
THE FIRST GUY
I SAT WITH
ON THE BUS...
DIE BEGGING...
NOT TO GET SHOT
IN THE BACK
OF HIS HEAD...
BELIEVE ME...
THAT'S WHERE
I DRAW THE LINE.
WHO SHOT NEIL
IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD?
BELIEVE ME...
IT WASN'T ME...
OR ROYCE OR TRUMAN...
OR JOSH.
SO I GUESS NEIL SENT
LETTERS TO ALL YOU GUYS.
THEN JOSH SENT A COPY
OF NEIL'S LETTER
TO ALL OF YOU
EXCEPT NEIL
WHERE HE WROTE,
"CONFRONT NEIL ON THIS
WHEN WE GET TOGETHER."
THEN ON YOUR COPY
OF THAT LETTER,
YOU WROTE,
"LESS TALK, MORE ACTION."
SEE, THE HANDWRITING
ON "LESS TALK,
MORE ACTION," MICHAEL,
THAT MATCHES
YOUR WRITTEN STATEMENT.
THAT'S THE FAMOUS
"LESS TALK, MORE ACTION"
CRIME, RIGHT?
NO, MICHAEL.
THAT'S THE FAMOUS
"JOHN ADMITS ONE OF YOU
GUYS KILLED NEIL,
BUT IT WASN'T HIM, JOSH,
ROYCE, OR TRUMAN" CRIME.
HOW ABOUT THE FAMOUS...
"SOMEBODY WHISPERS
IN YOUR EAR,
"DO IT TO HIM,
OR I DO IT TO YOU"
CRIME?
IF YOU'RE SAYING
YOU KILLED NEIL
IN FEAR
FOR YOUR OWN LIFE,
THAT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE
PRETTY MITIGATING
CIRCUMSTANCES.
YEAH? WELL,
YOU FIGURE OUT
WHO DID THE WHISPERING.
YOU FILL IN THE NAME
OFF YOUR OWN
OBSERVATION.
NO.
YOU GOTTA GIVE HIM UP.
SURE.
REAL EASY.
GIVE UP YOUR FRIEND.
YEAH. YEAH, A FRIEND
WHO TOLD YOU
TO KILL ONE
OF YOUR OTHER FRIENDS,
OR HE WAS
GONNA KILL YOU.
OK?
YEAH.
NOW WRITE WHAT
JOSH MADE YOU DO.
HEY.
SURE MISSED
THE PAPERWORK.
YEAH. UH,
WHEN YOU'RE DONE,
I WANNA SHOW YOU
THE VIDEOTAPE
OF ABBY'S DELIVERY.
RIGHT.
JAMES IS FINISHING UP HIS 5,
AND THEN I'M GONNA SHOW HIM
THE DELIVERY TAPE.
WELL, SHOULD WE WAIT
SEEING ANDY?
MAYBE WAIT TILL MORNING.
YEAH. LET HIM GET HIMSELF
TOGETHER A LITTLE BIT.
SO WHY THIS NEIL
HAD TO DIE?
RESIGNING FROM
THE EXPLOSION‐SITE
COMMITTEE,
HE'D BECOME A TOOL
OF INTERNATIONAL ZIONISM
AND THE NONWHITE RACES,
DILUTING
CHRISTIAN VALUES
AND UNDERMINING
THE BILL OF RIGHTS.
THAT WAS BAD.
PLUS BEING
THE FIRST IN HIS GROUP
TO TRY TO GROW UP.
Greg on videotape:
GOOD GIRL, GOOD GIRL.
THERE. SEE THAT, JAMES?
[ABBY MOANING
IN PAIN]
THAT'S THE BABY'S
CROWNING.
THAT'S THE TOP
OF THE BABY'S HEAD
BEGINNING TO EMERGE.
LOOK HOW FOCUSED
ABBY IS
THROUGH THIS PART
OF THE LABOR.
Abby: SHUT UP, GREG!
Greg: GOOD, GOOD.
HEY, GREG, YOU WANNA
STOP THE TAPE
FOR A SECOND?
RIGHT HERE, OR DO YOU
WANT ME TO REWIND?
Greg: ATTA‐GIRL, ABBY.
NO, I TELL YOU...
I TELL YOU, UH...
THAT'S SUCH A...
BEAUTIFUL,
PRIVATE MOMENT.
IT IS, ISN'T IT?
IT IS. IT'S SO, UH...
PRIVATE.
IT WAS JUST AS BEAUTIFUL
LOOKING AT THAT PHOTO
YOU SHOWED ME
OF GINA AND JAMES JR.
YEAH. WITH THE BABY
WRAPPED IN HIS BLANKET
SEVERAL HOURS
AFTER THE DELIVERY.
I APPRECIATE YOUR
SHARING THAT WITH ME.
[ABBY MOANING]
LET'S GIVE YOU SOME
MORE MEDICINE, ANDY.
IT'S OK.
THE MACHINE WON'T
LET YOU HAVE
ANY MORE MEDICINE
THAN YOU'RE ALLOWED.
I WANNA KEEP IT
IN RESERVE.
SO THEY THINK IT'S
NOT SPREAD TOO BAD?
NONE OF THE NODES
LOOKED POSITIVE,
AND THAT'S WHY
HE WENT AHEAD
WITH THE PROCEDURE.
OH, THAT'S RIGHT.
I DON'T MIND
REPEATING GOOD NEWS.
ARE YOU READY TO TRY
WALKING A LITTLE,
MR. SIPOWICZ?
FOR MY BLOOD CLOTS
IN MY LEGS.
SO YOU DON'T
GET BLOOD CLOTS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
IF IT GOES TO YOUR CHEST,
YOU'RE IN TROUBLE.
MIMI'S GONNA
HELP YOU WALK.
AND WHILE
YOU'RE DOING THAT,
I'M GONNA STRAIGHTEN
YOUR BED FOR YOU.
FIRST, WE'RE GONNA
SIT YOU UP.
I'M GONNA PUT MY HAND
BEHIND YOUR NECK.
IT'LL BE
LESS UNCOMFORTABLE
IF YOU LET ME
BRING YOU FORWARD.
I KEPT THINKING
ABOUT THE CANDY STORE.
YEAH. YOU WERE
TALKING ABOUT
PUTTING THE SUNDAY
PAPERS TOGETHER.
WAS I? THAT WAS
ONE OF MY JOBS.
I THINK YOU THOUGHT
YOU WERE LATE
FOR SOMETHING.
THEY'D LET ME
USE THEIR PHONE.
I WAS PROBABLY
CALLING MY MOM.
AS MR. SIPOWICZ SITS UP,
YOU CAN BRING HIS FEET
TO THE SIDE OF THE BED.
ALL RIGHT.
READY, MR. SIPOWICZ?
GO AHEAD, YES.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT,
ANDY?
IT'S...IT'S NOT TOO BAD.
JUST GET YOUR BEARINGS
FOR A FEW SECONDS.
THAT'S NOT TOO BAD,
THAT DISCOMFORT.
GOOD.
THAT THING'S
GONNA ROLL WITH ME?
Nurse: THEY'LL ALL
ROLL WITH YOU.
ARE YOU DIZZY AT ALL?
NO MORE THAN NORMAL.
DO YOU WANNA
TRY STANDING?
YEAH.
HERE I GO.
OK.
OHH.
OHH!
THAT'S YOUR INCISION
STRETCHING, MR. SIPOWICZ.
Sylvia: DO YOU WANNA
SIT BACK DOWN, ANDY?
TRY TO TAKE
SOME DEEP BREATHS.
GOOD, ANDY.
[COUGHS]
[GROANING
PAINFULLY]
OH, IT HURTS.
I'M SORRY,
ANDY.
DO YOU WANT THIS NOW?
NO. THAT'S FOR MY RESERVE.
THIS IS AS BAD AS IT'S
GONNA GET, MR. SIPOWICZ.
NOW SHOULD I WALK?
TRY TO TAKE
A FEW STEPS.
I'LL...I'LL HOLD
MY ROLLER.
YOU HOLD YOUR ROLLER,
AND WE'RE GONNA
HAVE OUR HANDS
RIGHT AT YOUR ELBOWS.
AREN'T YOU WORKING
A LONG SHIFT?
Nurse: MIMI WANTED
TO SEE MR. SIPOWICZ
THROUGH
GETTING UP
ON HIS FEET.
ARE YOU
ALL RIGHT, ANDY?
YEAH. IT'S NOT TOO BAD.
