[KNOCK ON DOOR]
HI.
HI, DIANE.
HOW’S KYLE?
OH, I KEPT HIM
HOME FROM SCHOOL.
HE’S WITH HIS DAD NOW.
THAT’S GOOD.
YEAH, KYLE ASKED FOR KEN
3 TIMES GOING TO SLEEP.
IT’S GOOD
HE’S WITH HIM.
REMINDS HIM THERE’S
A GROWN‐UP MAN IN HIS LIFE
DOESN’T LOOK TO HURT PEOPLE.
IS THAT A BOTTLE
ON YOUR COUNTER?
YEAH.
DO YOU WANNA
TALK ABOUT IT?
GUESS I MUST.
[NERVOUS LAUGH]
I CALLED
AND I LEFT IT OUT,
SO I GUESS I MUST WANNA...
TALK ABOUT IT.
HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING?
I WANTED TO SO MUCH,
I, UH...
I WENT OUT WITH GREG AND JAMES
AND‐‐AND THE NEW GUY.
WE WERE FEELING‐‐
YOU KNOW,
WE WERE FEELING SO HAPPY
OVER KEEPING KYLE OUT OF IT,
AND IT FELT LIKE THE FIRST
DAY’S WORK I’D DONE...
WHERE I’D DONE A DECENT JOB.
SINCE YOU CAME BACK
AFTER BOBBY.
I WAS HAPPY.
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN...
I STARTED FEELING
REALLY SCARED...
AND SAD AND LIKE I WAS
GONNA BUST OUT CRYING,
AND, UH, THE WAITRESS
BROUGHT BEERS AND MY SODA...
AND GREG HAD LEFT TO GO SLEEP
WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND, AND, UH...
HIS BEER WAS THERE.
AND YOU DRANK SOME?
BUT WALKING HOME
FROM THE SUBWAY, I, UH...
I BOUGHT THAT.
AND I SAT ALL NIGHT
AFRAID TO LOOK AT IT...
OR TO LOOK AT IT
GETTING DRESSED FOR WORK...
OR TO LOOK IN THE BEDROOM.
WHY WERE YOU AFRAID
TO LOOK IN THE BEDROOM?
OH...
I WANT TO BE STRONG
FOR HIM,
AND I FEEL SO BAD, I‐‐
THIS IS GOOD, DIANE.
THIS IS GOOD.
I NEED SOME HELP.
THAT’S GOOD.
WE’RE GONNA
GET YOU SOME.
I‐‐I WANNA GO TO WORK
’CAUSE IF I START NOT GOING,
I’M GONNA STOP GOING.
OK.
WE’LL, UH,
WE’LL DO OUR
8:00‐TO‐4:00,
AND THEN WE’LL CALL
THE WIDOWS & ORPHANS.
YOU WANT ME TO POUR OUT
THAT BOTTLE?
YEAH.
PLEASE.
OK.
MISS DISTRICT ATTORNEY,
HOW ABOUT MAYBE
OFFICER DYLAN HERE
TAKE OFF THESE CUFFS,
HUH?
NO.
THIS IS
POSSESSION WITH INTENT
AND SOLICITING SEX.
THIS IS NOT MAJOR.
MEANING, ON YOUR
OTHER COLLARS, TOMMY,
YOU WERE BROUGHT
TO A D. A.’s OFFICE?
THE THING YOU TRYIN’
TO MAKE IT MAJOR
DON’T MAKE IT MAJOR
IN MY HEAD.
THAT KID WAS SELLIN’
SEX ON THE STREET.
AND YOU OFFERED HIM DRUGS
TO GET IT.
I OFFERED HIM DRUGS
TO GET OVER.
I WAS NOT SELLING.
MY DRUG ACTIVITY
AND MY SEX ACTIVITY
ARE SEPARATE‐‐ALWAYS.
THAT’S THE ONE PRINCIPLE
HE LIVES BY.
YOU THINK WE’RE
DICKIN’ AROUND WITH
POSSESSION VERSUS INTENT?
WHY DON’T YOU STOP TRYING
TO LAWYER YOUR CASE, TOMMY?
FIND OUT WHY YOU’RE HERE.
I KNOW WHY I’M HERE.
AND THIS BEEF AIN’T
ADEQUATE ENOUGH
TO GET ME TO DO
WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND.
WHICH IS WHAT,
EINSTEIN?
I AIN’T
"READY FOR FREDDIE."
ALL RIGHT? I’LL
DO THE TIME INSIDE.
THAT WAS JUAN SUAREZ’S
THINKING, TOO.
JUAN WENT INSIDE
FOR FREDDIE ASUNCION,
BUT THEN HE GOT SHANKED
IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM
ON FREDDIE’S ORDERS.
YEAH, WHATEVER.
THE WORLD’S LESS COMPLICATED
THAN YOU THINK IT IS, TOMMY.
YOU ARE COOPERATING.
THE ONLY QUESTION’S
IF YOU GET THE BENEFIT.
NUH‐UH.
Costas: "NUH‐UH"?
YOU MEAN WE ARE NOT GOING
TO ARREST FREDDIE ASUNCION
WHETHER YOU HELP US OR NOT
AND PUT IT ON YOU
IN FREDDIE’S HEAD?
PUT WHAT ON ME?
FREDDIE’S
A CAREFUL BOY.
Sipowicz: WE GOT INFORMATION
OFF A WIRETAP
ON WHERE FREDDIE’S STASH IS,
KNUCKLEHEAD.
AND WHEN WE TAKE THAT STASH
DOWN AND HIM WITH IT,
THAT’S WHAT WE PUT ON YOU‐‐
IN FREDDIE’S HEAD.
THOSE BAD‐ASS SHOULDERS,
TOMMY...
THINK YOU CAN TAKE
THE WEIGHT...
IN FREDDIE’S HEAD?
YOU GOT A WIRETAP?
WHAT YOU NEED ME
FOR?
WE DON’T WANT FREDDIE
FOR DRUGS.
THAT’S HIS ACT. WHAT
YOU WANT HIM FOR THEN?
THE HOMICIDE HE PAID
JUAN SUAREZ TO PLEAD TO.
SAY I HELP YOU...
WHERE I GET TO GO?
Sipowicz: HARVARD.
LAS VEGAS.
YEAH, WE CAN GET YOU
TO LAS VEGAS.
ALTHOUGH THAT ACT GOES OVER
BETTER IN THEM LITTLE
COWBOY TOWNS.
I SAW FREDDIE
DO THE MURDER,
AND I WAS WITH HIM
WHEN HE BOUGHT JUAN
TO DO THE TIME.
[CLEARING THROAT]
I GOTTA GET TO WORK.
Dornan: YEAH.
NOW YOU CAN GET
YOUR CUFFS OFF.
SO, UH,
IF YOU FELLAS HAVEN’T
FIRMED UP DINNER PLANS,
THAT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
COLLAR
ME AND JAMES MADE
SEVERAL DAYS AGO‐‐
COMPLAINANT’S FATHER
TURNS OUT OWNER/OPERATOR
OF HONG KONG GARDENS.
THAT THE PLACE
GOT IN A JACKPOT
SERVIN’ CAT?
NO, ANDY.
THE HONG KONG GARDENS
HAPPENED TO GET HALF A STAR
IN THE DRURY
RESTAURANT GUIDE.
OVER ON 8th
AND BOWERY.
YEAH. EXACTLY, DANNY.
TAKEOUT DINNER TONIGHT
FOR THE WHOLE SQUAD
COVERED.
WINK FOOD
GIVES ME HEADACHES.
TELL ’EM
TO HOLD THE M. S. G.
LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU
AND MARTINEZ CLEAR ONE
FOR THE OWNER
OF A STEAKHOUSE.
THAT NEW SUPERMARKET
ON PIKE SLIP AND FDR
JUST GOT ROBBED.
LOOKS LIKE A MAJOR HIT.
ANDY, YOU’RE UP?
EVERYONE’S ON IT.
Medavoy: DANNY...
TAKE THE CELLULAR PHONE.
WE’LL ORDER THE FOOD
FROM THE CAR.
Kirkendall: WE WERE
FINISHING A DAY TOUR,
HEARD THE JOB
COME OVER THE AIR.
YOU NEED HELP?
YEAH, LET’S SEE
WHAT WE GOT.
NO WITNESSES TO WHAT
HAPPENED OUT HERE.
WHEN THEY WENT
INTO THE MONEY ROOM,
THEY’RE WEARING MASKS,
MAKE EVERYBODY HIT THE FLOOR,
CLEAN THE PLACE OUT.
IN AND GONE
LESS THAN 2 MINUTES.
MARK GRAHAM,
OFF‐DUTY FROM THE JOB.
Sipowicz: LET’S
GET HIM COVERED UP.
Uniform:
YEAH.
IS THAT THE MONEY ROOM
BACK THERE?
UH, YEAH, THAT’S WHERE
THE ACTION WAS.
THIS DON’T COUNT
AS ACTION?
Uniform:
COME ON.
WE’LL DO A QUICK CANVASS
HERE AND OUT FRONT.
GOOD.
THEY WALTZ
RIGHT IN DURING OUR PEAK HOUR
AND PULL THIS OFF.
DID YOU RECOGNIZE ’EM,
MR., UH, JENKINS?
HOW COULD I RECOGNIZE THEM?
THEY HAD MASKS ON.
SOON AS THEY CAME IN,
THEY TOLD EVERYONE
TO LOOK AT THE FLOOR
AND LAY DOWN.
I LOOKED UP AND GOT THIS
FOR MY TROUBLE. OW.
YOU GOT AN ESTIMATE
ON HOW MUCH
THEY GOT OUT WITH?
170,000.
I FORGOT TO MAKE
THE BANK DEPOSIT,
AND I KNOW HOW
THAT MAKES ME LOOK.
WHO OPENED THE SAFE
FOR THEM?
I DID. AFTER THEY HIT ME,
THEY DRAGGED ME OVER
AND PUT A GUN TO MY HEAD.
WHAT CAME OUTTA THERE?
THAT’S WHERE THE SECURITY
CAMERA VIDEOTAPE WAS.
THEY WENT RIGHT FOR IT
AFTER THEY GOT THE MONEY.
HAD A HAMMER AND EVERYTHING.
YOU’RE GONNA HAVE
TO COME IN WITH US.
JUST ME OR EVERYONE
THAT WAS HERE?
WHAT’S THAT TO YOU?
WELL, I’M AFRAID
YOU THINK I DID IT.
SHUT UP.
Sorenson:
EVERYONE’S COMING IN.
WHAT’S IT LOOK LIKE?
SECURITY GUARD KILLED
OUTSIDE THE STORE
WAS AN OFF‐DUTY COP.
THE BAD GUYS
WERE IN AND OUT
IN, LIKE, 5 MINUTES.
THEY HAD TO HAVE
SOMEONE INSIDE.
MANAGER FORGOT TO
MAKE A MONEY DROP
AT THE BANK,
ADDED TO THE SCORE.
THINK HE WAS
THE SETUP GUY?
HE’S MORE THE PANICKY
TYPE YOU’RE TRYIN’
TO SAVE AT THE OCEAN:
THE JERK CLIMBS
ON YOUR SHOULDER,
DRIVES YOU DOWN INTO
THE UNDERWATER SAND.
CRIME SCENE JUST CALLED‐‐
NO LIFTS.
DO YOU WANT ME AND JILL
TO DO A 4:00‐TO‐12:00?
NO. WE’RE ALL RIGHT.
SEE YOU
IN THE MORNING.
NIGHT.
DON’T TRY COMMUNICATING
WITH ME
WHEN I’M TRYING
TO SOLVE A CASE.
GOOD NIGHT, ANDY.
HOW YOU DOIN’,
IN A THUMBNAIL?
OK.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
WANNA TALK WITH THIS GUY
TRIED TO DROWN YOU?
EXCUSE ME A SECOND.
10 MINUTES MAX
ON THE CHINESE.
OH, YEAH?
THAT’S THEIR E. T. A.?
YEAH. UH, THE BIKE GUY
JUST LEFT THE RESTAURANT.
EXCUSE THE INTERRUPTION.
HOW’S THE HEAD?
I KNOW NOT MAKING
THAT VAULT DROP
CASTS A SHADOW ON ME,
BUT I SWEAR I HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.
WELL, YOU SAID YOU DIDN’T
MAKE THAT BANK DEPOSIT
’CAUSE YOU WERE BUSY.
WE WERE NONSTOP BUSY
ALL DAY,
AND IF ANYTHING,
AROUND 3:00
IT GOT BUSIER.
YOU GOT ANY FINANCIAL
PROBLEMS OF YOUR OWN?
NO. I MEAN, NO MORE
THAN THE NEXT PERSON.
WHICH NEXT PERSON?
ARE YOU OVEREXTENDED
AT ALL?
WE RENT. I’M CURRENT
ON THOSE PAYMENTS.
WE OWE AROUND 1,800
AGGREGATE
ON MY WIFE’S
AND MY CREDIT CARDS.
$1,830.
WHY WOULD THE STICKUP GUYS
HIT YOU?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU TOLD US YOU OPENED THE SAFE
WHEN THEY ASKED YOU TO.
YES. IN THAT SITUATION,
MY TRAINING IS TO COOPERATE.
SO WHY WOULD THEY HIT YOU?
THEY HIT ME BEFORE THAT
WHEN THEY FIRST CAME IN
AND MADE US LIE
FACE DOWN.
ONE OF THEM SAW ME
LOOK UP.
THEY’RE WEARIN’ MASKS.
WHY WOULD THEY WORRY
IF YOU SAW ’EM?
SOMETIMES ON A JOB LIKE THIS,
THE STICKUP GUYS
WILL THROW A PUNCH
INTO WHOEVER
SET THE JOB UP FOR ’EM,
HALF PISTOL‐WHIP AND SO FORTH
TO THROW SUSPICION OFF.
YEAH, THAT’S
NOT UNHEARD OF.
I HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH THIS.
I DON’T KNOW
WHY THEY HIT ME.
THEY JUST SEEMED
CRUEL AND VIOLENT.
FOR GOD’S SAKE,
THEY KILLED THAT GUARD.
WAS HE TRYING
TO RESIST?!
WILL YOU STOP CROUCHIN’
AND SIT UP STRAIGHT?
COME ON, SIT UP.
[SIPOWICZ SIGHS]
YOU GOT YOUR LIST OF CURRENT
AND FORMER EMPLOYEES?
YES.
DOG‐EAR WHOEVER GOT FIRED
OR DISCIPLINED
OR JUST RUBBED YOU
THE WRONG WAY‐‐
ANY THAT KNEW YOUR LAYOUT.
AM I STILL A SUSPECT?
NOT AT THE PRESENT.
RELAX AND DO WHAT
HE ASKED YOU TO DO.
SO IF WE HAD A SHORT LIST,
MR. JENKINS WOULD BE OFF IT.
WHAT’S THIS NOW?
BOTH I. A. B.?
NO, THE OTHER GUY’S FBI.
Sipowicz:
WHAT’S THAT?
IT’S A LITTLE EARLY
TO SAY.
THEY COME TOGETHER?
DOESN’T MEAN
THEY’RE NOT.
Sorenson:
THEY’RE BOTH ASKIN’
ABOUT OUR CASE?
MM‐HMM.
YOU’VE MET
SERGEANT MARTENS
FROM INTERNAL AFFAIRS,
AND THIS IS
FBI AGENT FRANCIS.
DANNY SORENSON.
DANNY.
HOW’S IT GOIN’,
AGENT FRANCIS?
Fancy: ANDY SIPOWICZ
YOU KNOW.
YEAH.
WHAT’S
GOIN’ ON?
WE MONITORED SOME CONVERSATIONS
OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS
ABOUT A BIG CASH SCORE
GOING DOWN,
WANTED TO TOUCH BASE,
SEE IF THIS STICKUP HOMICIDE
AT THE COST‐RITE MIGHT FIT.
WHOSE PHONE YOU GOT UP
THAT YOU MONITORED
THOSE CONVERSATIONS ON?
IF I TOLD YA,
I’D HAVE TO KILL YA.
HE’D HAVE
TO KILL ME.
WHAT BRINGS I. A. B. UP,
SARGE?
AN OFF‐DUTY COP
WAS SHOT.
YEAH, WE’RE AWARE
AN OFF‐DUTY COP GOT SHOT.
I THINK DETECTIVE SORENSON’S
MORE INTERESTED IN YOUR
GETTING UP HERE SO SOON.
TICKLIN’ PHONES
WITH THE BUREAU, SARGE?
I MET AGENT FRANCIS
WHEN THE TWO OF US
WALKED INTO THIS OFFICE.
WELL, WE’RE ALL IN HERE NOW.
WE GOT NOTHIN’ FOR YA.
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING?
Sipowicz: NOPE.
WANT SOME CHINESE FOOD?
THERE WERE
NO SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS?
BAD GUYS COPPED THE SETUP.
NO EYEWITNESSES?
NO. BAD GUYS HAD MASKS ON.
WHY WOULD THE BAD GUYS TAKE OUT
THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS
IF THEY WERE WEARING MASKS?
Sorenson: WHEN THEY
ENTERED THE MONEY ROOM,
WHERE ALL THE WITNESSES WERE,
THEY WERE WEARING
MASKS AND GLOVES.
WE ASSUME THEY PUT THEM ON
WHEN THEY GOT
INSIDE THE BUILDING.
Sipowicz: BEING WE’RE
BELOW 10,000 FEET
OF ALTITUDE,
THEY MAY HAVE FELT
WEARING THOSE SKI MASKS
WALKING TOWARDS
THE STORE ENTRANCE
THROUGH THE PARKING LOT
MIGHT DRAW SOME
UNWELCOME ATTENTION.
HEY, SARGE, ANY CHANCE
ANOTHER REASON THE BAD GUYS
DIDN’T PUT THEIR MASKS ON
WAS SO THE OFF‐DUTY COP
OUTSIDE THE BUILDING
WOULD KNOW WHO
HE WAS DEALING WITH?
WHAT’S YOUR THINKING
THERE?
WELL, SAY THE OFF‐DUTY COP
WAS THE SETUP MAN,
AND THEY TOOK HIM OUT
IN A DOUBLE‐CROSS.
I GUESS THAT COULD BE.
NO. WHY DON’T YOU ANSWER
HIM STRAIGHT, HUH?
ARE YOU UP HERE
SO QUICK BECAUSE,
PRIOR TO HIM GOING DOWN,
YOU WERE ALREADY SITTING
ON THIS OFF‐DUTY COP
FOR BEING WRONG?
IN WHICH CASE,
YOU’VE PROBABLY GOT
A DIRECTION FOR US.
HELP REGULAR COPS?
HE’D GET TOSSED FROM
THE CHEESE‐EATERS’ LODGE.
IS THIS WRANGLING AWKWARD
FOR YOU, AGENT FRANCIS?
NO. HASH THINGS OUT.
WELL, I WAS THINKING,
IF YOU GOT WHAT YOU NEEDED,
MAYBE YOU’D BE MORE
COMFORTABLE SPLITTIN’.
YOU REMIND ME OF DONNY OSMOND
WITH YOUR PARTNER’S
PERSONALITY.
AGENT FRANCIS,
I’M PROUD TO TELL YOU,
I GOT ALL DONNY’S ALBUMS,
INCLUDING MORMON HYMNS
TO FEDERAL AGENTS WHO STEAL
THEIR WEEKLY PAYCHECKS.
Sipowicz:
ALL RIGHT, KID.
IF YOU’RE NOT
SHOWIN’ US SOME OF YOURS,
I THINK WE’RE DONE.
I WILL SIMPLIFY AND MAKE
MY QUESTION MORE SPECIFIC.
YOU ARE CERTAIN THERE IS
NO SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE
OF THE BAD GUYS
COMING OR GOING.
YES, WE ARE CERTAIN.
AT THIS POINT.
ASSHOLE.
PANTS‐PISSER.
[DOOR SLAMS]
HE’S ONLY INTERESTED
IN SURVEILLANCE CAMERA,
MAYBE HE’S PROTECTING
SOME OUTSIDE GUY.
EXCUSE ME NOT WANTING
TO HELP THE BUREAU
COLLAR UP.
OH, THAT’S WHY YOU WERE
SO CLOSE‐MOUTHED.
IF I GIVE YOU WHAT
WE’VE GOT ON THIS CASE,
ANY COPS PRESENTLY
ON THE JOB,
MY OFFICE COLLARS.
ANYONE ELSE IS YOURS.
AW, DON’T TELL ME
I DON’T GET TO LOCK UP COPS.
I’LL GET SOME PHOTOS
OUT OF MY CAR.
I’M LOOKING
FOR LINDA KRAUSE.
HI.
I’M DIANE RUSSELL.
HI, DIANE.
THANKS FOR,
UH, SEEING ME.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
I APPRECIATED YOU
GIVING ME YOUR CARD
AT MY HUSBAND’S FUNERAL.
SORRY I HAVEN’T BEEN
ABLE TO CALL BEFORE.
IT’S BEEN PRETTY HECTIC.
YOU BACK AT WORK?
MM‐HMM.
I’M BACK AT THE SQUAD
WHERE MY HUSBAND
AND I WORKED.
THAT MUST BE HARD
EVERY DAY.
I HAVEN’T BEEN DOING
THAT GOOD OF A JOB,
BUT THEN YESTERDAY, I...
I THOUGHT I DID
PRETTY WELL.
MY GIRLFRIEND’S
ALSO A COP,
AND I WAS ABLE TO, UH,
HELP HER WITH SOMETHING.
BUT THEN, I, UM...
BUT THEN I BOUGHT
A‐‐A BOTTLE.
WHICH HAS BEEN A PROBLEM
WITH ME IN THE PAST.
I WAS DOING PRETTY WELL.
I‐‐I WASN’T DOING
THAT WELL AT MY JOB,
BUT THEN YESTERDAY
I THOUGHT I DID PRETTY WELL.
AND THEN, UH...
NOW, SUDDENLY, THINGS
GOT REALLY CONFUSED.
WELL, I’M GLAD
YOU CALLED.
YOU’RE GONNA
STRAIGHTEN ME RIGHT OUT?
NOBODY WANTS
TO MEET WITH US, DIANE.
IT’S HARD COMING
INTO THIS ROOM.
I FEEL‐‐I FEEL LIKE
I’M...LOSING HIM.
LIKE EVERY DAY I LOSE
A LITTLE MORE OF HIM.
YOU FEEL LIKE COMING
IN HERE COST YOU
SOME OF BOBBY, TOO?
I FEEL LIKE I’M LOSING
MORE AND MORE OF HIM.
BECAUSE I PROMISE YOU,
DIANE,
COMING IN HERE,
YOU’RE GONNA GET
YOUR HUSBAND BACK.
YOU’RE GONNA LEARN WAYS
IT WON’T HURT TOO MUCH
TO REMEMBER.
I LOVED MY HUSBAND...
SO MUCH.
I LOVED MINE, TOO,
AND I LOST HIM
TOO YOUNG.
EVERYTHING...HURTS.
YOU GOTTA LET IT
BEFORE IT’LL STOP.
[SOBBING]
DOES THIS COUNT?
YEAH.
THIS IS
A PRETTY GOOD START.
WE’RE AWASH IN OUTSIDE
AGENCIES, HUH, ANDY?
YEAH.
THE FBI, THE RAT SQUAD.
WHAT DID
THE RAT SQUAD WANT?
WHAT DID YOU DO WITH
ALL THEM TAKEOUT CONTAINERS?
FROM WHAT?
FROM THE CHINESE FOOD?
YEAH. WHAT DID YOU DO
WITH THOSE?
WHAT’S THAT HAVE TO DO
WITH ME ASKING
ABOUT THE RAT SQUAD?
ANDY...Y‐YOU’RE
NOT IMPLYING THAT
THE RAT SQUAD’S HERE
LOOKING INTO THOSE
FREE CHINESE FOOD MEALS?
YOU WANT AN ANALYSIS
WHY THEM PEOPLE DO
WHAT THEY DO, MEDAVOY,
ASK ELSEWHERE.
HEY, GIVE ME A BREAK!
WHAT ARE THEY ALLEGING,
THAT, UH, I’M USING
MY POWER OF AUTHORITY
TO GET FREE MEALS?
THAT STORE OWNER OFFERED
THOSE DINNERS AS A TOKEN
OF HIS GRATITUDE!
WHAT DO YOU RAISE
YOUR VOICE TO ME FOR?
NO! BECAUSE
THAT’S RIDICULOUS!
THOSE TAKEOUT
CONTAINERS,
TH‐THEY’RE OUTSIDE
IN THE TRASH BIN BY NOW,
FOR GOODNESS SAKE.
ALL’S I KNOW, IF I WAS
IN AN ORGANIZATION
CALLED THE RAT SQUAD,
HAVING TO PAW AROUND
FOR EVIDENCE IN A TRASH BIN
WOULDN’T HOLD ME BACK.
THIS ONE RIGHT HERE?
YEAH.
SO WHERE DID GREG
HURRY OFF TO?
YEAH. UH, I DON’T KNOW.
THAT’S GRAHAM,
THE OFF‐DUTY COP
WHO GOT SHOT.
HIS CONSTANT COMPANIONS
ARE WHO YOU LIKE
FOR SHOOTING HIM?
BOTH ON THE JOB ALSO.
TOM AND PETE ZANCANELLI.
THEY’RE WHO YOU THINK
WERE UNDER THE SKI MASKS?
EITHER THEY
DID THE STICKUP
AND SHOT GRAHAM‐‐
THEIR FELLOW COP
THAT WAS THEIR FRIEND?
OR, MORE LIKELY,
THEY SET THE PLAY UP,
AND THEIR UNCLES
GARY AND LOU ZANCANELLI
DID THE ACTUAL
ROBBERY‐HOMICIDE.
OH, GARY AND
LOU ZANCANELLI.
STICKUPS ARE
THE UNCLES’ ACT.
THEY RETIRED
OFF THE JOB, LIKE,
15 YEARS AGO.
HEY, ANY OF
THESE ASSHOLES,
DON’T TELL ME
THEIR CONNECTION
WITH THE JOB NO MORE.
WE GET TO PUT BRACELETS
ON GARY AND LOU?
THEY GOT
OUTSTANDING WARRANTS
FOR A RICO BEEF,
THESE UNCLES RETIRED
OFF THE JOB.
DID I JUST TELL YOU
NOT TO MENTION THE JOB?!
I’M SAYING THEY’RE
RETIRED, SIPOWICZ!
THEY’RE CIVILIANS NOW,
AND YOU GET
TO COLLAR THEM.
YEAH? WELL, THANKS A LOT
FOR THAT PRIVILEGE!
I MADE ’EM WRONG?!
JUST GIVE ME
THEIR ADDRESS!
THAT’S ALL I WANT
TO KNOW FROM YOU.
YEAH. LET ME
WRITE THEIR ADDRESS
WHILE YOU ABUSE ME
FOR DOING
THE SAME JOB YOU DO.
YOU DON’T DO
THE SAME JOB!
THE HELL I DON’T!
YOU DON’T DO IT
WITH THE RIGHT HEART.
DON’T YOU TELL ME
WHAT’S IN MY HEART!
DON’T YOU CURSE
AT ME AGAIN!
AND DON’T YOU
STATE A BAD OPINION
ABOUT WHAT I DO!
THEY CHASE TAIL
AT NIGHT.
GRAB ’EM IN THE MORNING.
I GAVE ’EM WHAT THEY NEED.
HEY, HOW’S IT GOING,
SERGEANT MARTENS?
WHAT DID YOU DO, MEDAVOY,
TAKE A NAP IN A SEWER?
I’M GONNA
TELL YOU SOMETHING,
SERGEANT MARTENS.
WHAT SICKENS ME IS NOT
MY OWN NEAR ENSNAREMENT
IN YOUR PETTY PLOT.
NO. IT’S THE DISGRACEFUL
SCARE TACTICS
YOU MUST HAVE EMPLOYED
ON THAT POOR CHINESE
RESTAURANT OWNER,
GETTING HIM
TO GO ALONG!
WELL, SERGEANT,
I DO NOT REGRET
10 SECONDS OF THE TIME
I JUST SPENT
ELBOW‐DEEP
IN REFUSE AND MUCK,
BECAUSE IT ENABLES ME
TO CONFRONT YOU NOW
AND TELL YOU
THAT YOU...GOT...THIS!
AND HERE’S
WHAT YOU CAN KISS!
YEAH, YEAH.
NOW GIVE ME THAT
THOUSAND‐MILE STARE,
LIKE I’M TALKING
GIBBERISH,
OR YOU DON’T KNOW
WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT
YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT.
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT
I’M TALKING ABOUT, HUH?
OR‐‐OR I SUPPOSE YOU
EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE
THAT SOMEONE
IN MY OWN SQUAD
HAS MISLED ME,
AND THAT I’M THE VICTIM
OF A SICKENING PRANK.
EXCUSE ME FOR NOT
CHOOSING TO BELIEVE
THAT ONE, SERGEANT.
EXCUSE ME FOR NOT BELIEVING
THAT I‐I’VE JUST BEEN
MADE A TOTAL JERK‐OFF,
SERGEANT MARTENS,
BY SOMEONE CLOSE TO HOME!
BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE
THE ALTERNATIVE.
OLD WESTBURY.
YEAH. MAYBE THEY LIVE
NEXT TO GOTTI’S DAUGHTER,
THE ELDER ZANCANELLIS.
DID MY PARTNER
JAMES MARTINEZ GO HOME?
HE FINISHED
HIS INTERVIEWS.
DID YOU SEE WHETHER
HE LEFT OR NOT, DANNY?
YEAH. HE WENT HOME.
OH. ALL RIGHT.
THANKS VERY MUCH.
THANKS FOR
THAT INFORMATION.
WHAT HAPPENED, GREG?
OH, JUST A LITTLE
BOYS‐WILL‐BE‐BOYS
FOOLISHNESS, LIEUTENANT.
RESULTED IN ME INCURRING
A 25‐TO‐30 DOLLAR
DRY CLEANING BILL
FOR MY OVERCOAT.
NOTHING YOU NEED
CONCERN YOURSELF WITH.
Fancy: WHEN ARE YOU
PICKING THESE GUYS UP?
WELL, IT’S A 45‐MINUTE DRIVE.
LIKE 5:00 IN THE MORNING?
YEAH, ALL RIGHT.
AND WE’LL CALL NASSAU COUNTY
TO GET THEM TO BACK US UP?
YEAH, I‐I’D HAVE OFFERED
TO ACCOMPANY MY COLLEAGUES,
BUT I WANT TO BE
EARLY AT MY DOCTOR’S
FOR A TETANUS SHOT!
GOOD NIGHT.
DON’T EVER PASS
THE REMARK
"THE SKY IS FALLING"
AND NOT EXPECT
THE NEXT TIME
YOU SEE MEDAVOY
TO BE WEARING
A HARD HAT.
WHEW!
DID YOU ENJOY THAT,
WALKING US IN CUFFS
PAST ALL THEM COPS?
SHUT UP.
HEH. YEAH,
THEY’RE LACKEYS NOW
FOR THE FBI.
I SWEAR TO GOD,
I’M GLAD I LEFT THIS JOB
WHEN I DID.
Sorenson:
HOW LONG AGO WAS THAT,
LEAVING ACTIVE DUTY?
9 YEARS.
BEFORE YOU WERE BORN.
WAS THAT THE LAST TIME
YOU BRUSHED YOUR TEETH?
SIT WITH THESE 2 LOUDMOUTH
PIECES OF GARBAGE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING?!
THAT’S OUR WARRANT
YOU BROUGHT THEM IN ON.
WE DON’T WANT THEM
SQUEEZED RIGHT NOW.
AGENT FRANCIS,
YOU’RE STARTING
TO RESEMBLE SOMEBODY
WHO WANTS TO BURY
A ROBBERY‐HOMICIDE.
OUR INFORMATION IS
THE OLDER ZANCANELLIS
WEREN’T INVOLVED.
IT WAS THEIR NEPHEWS
THAT DID IT.
HOW DO YOU KNOW
THESE GUYS DIDN’T DO IT
AND THEIR NEPHEWS
STILL ON THE JOB DID?
I DON’T ENJOY
WITHHOLDING INFORMATION,
BUT OTHER PRIORITIES
ARE IN PLAY HERE.
ARE THE INTERVIEW ROOMS OPEN?
OUR PRESENT ASSESSMENT‐‐
THOSE ARE
YOUR STICKUP GUYS.
GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE.
RELEASE THE UNCLES,
OR WE’LL
VACATE THE WARRANT
YOU’RE HOLDING ’EM ON.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
YEAH.
HI.
MM‐HMM. OK.
SYLVIA. THEY GRABBED UP
THAT ASUNCION.
GO AHEAD. WE’RE FIFTH WHEELS
AROUND HERE ANYWAY,
IN OUR OWN SQUAD,
STANDING AROUND
HOLDING OUR JOINTS.
YOU ARE NOT
A FIFTH WHEEL.
LET ME SEE IF
YOU CAN GRASP HOW.
THE ONLY CHANCE
I. A. B. HAD
GETTIN’ THE YOUNGER
ZANCANELLIS
TO COOPERATE
IS IF THOSE UNCLES
DID DO IT.
NOW YOU TELL ME WHY.
IF THE YOUNGER ONES
ONLY SET IT UP,
THEY COULD GIVE UP
THEIR UNCLES FOR A WALK.
CORRECT.
AND THIS FBI DILDO
SAYIN’
THE YOUNGER
ZANCANELLIS DID
THE JOB THEMSELVES,
THEY AIN’T GONNA
GIVE UP NOTHIN’.
IS THAT CORRECT?
CORRECT.
NOW, DIDN’T YOU TELL ME
YOU RECOGNIZED SOMEBODY
IN MARTENS’
SURVEILLANCE PHOTOS?
UH, WHAT WAS
HIS INITIALS‐‐
J.B.
J.B. THAT’S RIGHT, YEAH.
NOW, MAYBE
HE GIVES YOU SOMETHING
I.A.B.
CAN USE FOR LEVERAGE
ON THE YOUNGER ONES.
YEAH, LET ME PUT MYSELF
OWING ONE TO MY INFORMANT
SO WE CAN BUY A LITTLE
LEVERAGE FOR I. A. B.
HEY, CLEARING A HOMICIDE
IS CLEARING A HOMICIDE.
YOU KNOW,
CALMIN’ YOU DOWN
MIGHT BE THE BEST THING
EVER HAPPENED
TO MY GASTRIC UPSETS.
DORNAN, SHE’S NOT
IN THERE ALONE WITH HIM?
RELAX.
IS HE GONNA GIVE IT UP,
ASUNCION?
HE’S GOT LEUKEMIA.
I WILL SEE TO IT
THAT YOU GET FULL
MEDICAL TREATMENT.
HEY, BABE, I GOT 6 MONTHS
IF I WAS PRESIDENT CLINTON
RECEIVING COMPLETE
MEDICAL TREATMENT,
IF I WAS THE RICHEST
COMPUTER OWNER.
DO YOU BELIEVE
GOD JUDGES US?
WELL, I GUESS THAT’S
BETWEEN ME AND MY PRIEST.
HEY, SHE’LL TELL YOU
WHO IT’S BETWEEN.
OH, YEAH? WELL, SO FAR,
I DON’T SEE HER
IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT.
I HEARD
ONE EYEWITNESS
TO AN INCIDENT
4 YEARS BEFORE.
WHAT’S THAT? THAT AIN’T
NO CORROBORATION,
AND THAT’S A LONG‐ASS
PASSAGE OF TIME
FOR UNRELIABILITY, HUH?
FREDDIE THINKS
HE’S CLARENCE DARROW.
HE’S GONNA BE
CLARENCE DARROW
LOOKIN’ LIKE MOMS MABLEY
IN A MINUTE.
FREDDIE, DO YOU HAVE
ANY FAMILY?
YEAH. I GOT THE WIFE
OF THAT DEAD SUAREZ
YOU’RE SO WORRIED ABOUT
I’M PRESENTLY BANGING.
HAVE YOU GOT ANYONE
IN THE SYSTEM
COMING TO TRIAL
OR INCARCERATED?
I’M GONNA BE DEAD
ANYWAY.
WHY DO YOU WANT
THIS CONFESSION SO MUCH?
ANSWER MY QUESTION.
IS THERE ANYONE
THAT YOU WOULD TRADE
A CONFESSION TO HELP?
NO.
I GOT NOBODY.
SO I GUESS YOU GOT
NO WAY TO REACH ME, HUH?
RIGHT OVER THERE.
TOM AND PETE ZANCANELLI.
FIRST OF ALL‐‐WHO?
D, WHY SHOULD I GIVE
SOMETHING UP
AND COOPERATE
WHEN I’M NOT EVEN
IN CUSTODY FOR DOING
ANYTHING WRONG?
THAT’S YOU, J. B.‐‐
ALWAYS LOOKING JUST
TO COME UP EVEN.
HEY, DANNY, YOU LIVED
WITH ME ON THAT CORNER
3 YEARS.
I PUT MY HAT
ON THE PILLOW AT NIGHT,
I’LL SETTLE FOR EVEN
EVERY TIME.
AS OPPOSED TO COMING OUT
AHEAD FOR ONCE?
HOW AM I GONNA
COME OUT AHEAD
IF I GOT NOTHING
TO BEAT?
YOU DON’T GOT
THE STREET TO BEAT?
OH, I’M NEVER GONNA
BEAT THE STREET.
BECAUSE YOU DON’T THINK
FARSIGHTED, J. B.
YOU DON’T LOOK TO PUT
SOMETHING IN THE BANK
GAINING INTEREST.
WHAT’S YOUR DREAM?
THINK BIG.
DANNY, WHAT THE HELL
YOU DOIN’ TO ME?
I GIVE UP
THE ZANCANELLI COUSINS,
AND SOMEHOW
THAT’S GONNA GET ME
IN A DOO‐WOP GROUP
SIGNING
SOME RECORD LABEL?
WHAT IT COULD DO
FOR YOU, J. B.?
YOUR PAROLE OFFICER
COMES TO ME‐‐
"DANNY, SHOULD I
GREEN LIGHT THIS KID
"WANTS TO TRAVEL
OUT OF STATE
"WITH HIS SUCCESSFUL
GROUP HE’S JOINED
THAT THEY’RE SINGING
DOWN IN ATLANTIC CITY,
AND SO FORTH?"
AND MY ANSWER,
BY YOU BANKING
WHAT YOU BANKED WITH ME
ON THE ZANCANELLIS‐‐
ABSOLUTELY.
THIS KID’S SINGING SUCCESS
IS NO ACCIDENT.
HE’S ABSOLUTELY
TURNED THE CORNER
WHERE HE’S A NO‐RISK
FOR OUT‐OF‐STATE TRAVEL.
THAT’S WHAT YOU GET
FOR BEING FARSIGHTED.
THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN
LOSE ON THIS, J. B.‐‐
HELPING ME WITH
THE ZANCANELLIS‐‐
IF YOU NEVER DID
ANOTHER CRIME.
LOOK ME IN THE EYE
AND TELL ME THAT’S
NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
THEY WHACKED A GUY.
WHO’D THEY WHACK?
RAMON TERRESTO.
LIKE, 2 YEARS AGO.
IN THE EAST VILLAGE
WHERE WE ALL GREW UP.
HOW’D IT GO DOWN?
WE’RE OUT
DRIVIN’ AROUND‐‐
HIGH, FEELIN’ GOOD‐‐
YOU KNOW, TALKING ABOUT
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
A LITTLE.
TOM SAYS,
"REMEMBER RAMON?"
SO WE’RE ALL TELLING
STORIES ON RAMON‐‐
ALL THE STUFF
WE DID TOGETHER‐‐
BUT, LIKE,
PETE GETS MEAN.
HE SAYS, "YOU KNOW
WHAT I REMEMBER NOW?
THAT SON‐OF‐A‐BITCH
SPIC RAMON STILL
OWES ME 200."
SO HE FISHES
IN HIS WALLET,
AND HE FINDS
RAMON’S ADDRESS.
HE SAYS, "I STILL GOT
THAT SON‐OF‐A‐BITCH
SPIC’S ADDRESS
IN MY WALLET."
RAMON’S BAD LUCK,
TURNS OUT WE’RE, LIKE,
ONLY 8 BLOCKS AWAY.
I DIDN’T GO UP
WITH THEM,
BUT, AFTERWARD,
THEY CAME BACK DOWN
WITH A ROLLED‐UP RUG.
PETE STOOD GUARD WHILE
TOM HOT‐WIRED A CAR,
AND WE TOOK THAT RUG
WITH RAMON ROLLED IN IT
INTO THE TRUNK
OF THE STOLEN CAR.
THEY DROVE THAT CAR
TO THE EAST RIVER,
AND THEY RAN IT
OFF THE PIER.
I FOLLOWED IN PETE’S CAR
AND PICKED
THE TWO OF THEM UP.
YOU GOT ANYTHING
TO BACK YOUR STORY?
PETE WAS AFRAID TO HAVE
THE GUN IN THE CAR
WHILE THEY’RE
TRANSPORTING THE BODY,
SO HE GIVE IT TO ME
TO TOSS.
I STILL GOT THAT GUN.
J.B., YOU JUST GOT
AHEAD OF THE GAME.
SO I ASSUME YOU’RE
WAITING HERE
FOR THE TECHNICIAN
TO COME VIDEOTAPE
THESE YOUNGER
ZANCANELLIS’
CONFESSIONS.
YOU COULD TURN OUT
TO BE A DECENT GUY,
SORENSON.
I GUESS THAT’LL DEPEND
ON HOW IMPRESSIONABLE
YOU ARE.
SO THAT’D BE A SWIPE
AT MY PARTNER?
GIVE ME SOME SPACE,
WOULD YOU?
I GOT A CASE
IN THE CRAPPER.
’CAUSE WHAT I WANTED
TO TELL YOU,
OFF A SUGGESTION
FROM DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ,
I REACHED OUT
TO AN INFORMANT‐‐J. B.
HE GAVE ME SOMETHING
ON YOUR GUYS.
J.B. FROM OUR
SURVEILLANCE PHOTOS?
SEE NOW, THERE AGAIN,
YOU DIDN’T SHARE
THAT INFORMATION.
NEITHER DID YOU
THAT YOU RECOGNIZED HIM.
WHAT’D HE GIVE YOU?
SARGE.
SORENSON,
IF I LET YOU
GO IN THAT ROOM
AND LET YOU RUN
THAT INTERVIEW,
I CAN THINK OF
5 DIFFERENT WAYS
THAT YOU
CAN SCREW ME.
AND NOT LETTING ME
RUN IT, SARGE,
AND ME NOT SHARING MY TIP
FROM MY INFORMANT,
WHAT’LL BE YOUR FALLBACK
INVESTIGATIVE APPROACH?
THIS IS
DETECTIVE SORENSON.
I.A.B.?
NO. I’M IN
THE 15th SQUAD HERE.
SO YOU CAN RECOGNIZE
MY FEELINGS, MY HURT.
I’M GETTING A LITTLE
AGITATED WITH THIS CRAP.
AND I EXPECT
YOUR BROTHER IS ALSO.
I’M SURE PETE IS.
HOW’S HE NOT GONNA BE?
HE QUESTIONS US
ABOUT MARK GRAHAM,
A MURDERED FRIEND
AND FELLOW COP.
ALL RIGHT?
CAPISCE?
I MEANT, PETE
MUST BE GETTING
ESPECIALLY AGITATED,
SINCE HE’S
HALF‐WACKY ANYHOW
AND PRONE
TO ACTS OF VIOLENCE.
I CAME HERE ON THE COMINGS
AND GOINGS AND ACQUAINTANCES
OF A MURDERED FRIEND
AND FELLOW COP.
MARK GRAHAM.
MARK GRAHAM.
MURDERED IN A STICKUP
THAT I KNOW NOTHIN’ ABOUT.
TOM, PUT MARK GRAHAM
TO ONE SIDE.
EXCLUDE HIM
FROM YOUR MIND
TILL WE TALK ABOUT
RAMON TERRESTO
AND WHAT YOUR
HALF‐WACKY BROTHER
DID TO HIM
WITH YOU PRESENT.
RAMON TERRESTO.
RAMON TERRESTO.
CORRECT.
I WANT MY DELEGATE.
YOU SHOULD NOT ONLY
HAVE YOUR DELEGATE, TOM,
BUT A LAWYER ALSO
THAT’S READY TO SLOT YOU
FOR A LOT OF HOURS.
AND YOU’D BETTER GET
READY TO REFINANCE
YOUR PROPERTY
AND CLOSE YOUR KIDS’
EDUCATION ACCOUNTS,
SO YOU CAN SPEND EVERY
CENT YOU EVER SAVED
ON THAT SHYSTER
THAT YOU’RE GONNA HIRE.
’CAUSE, TOM,
WE’RE PREPARED
TO GO TO BAT
IN RAMON TERRESTO’S
HOMICIDE
AND MAKE YOU
DEFEND YOURSELF.
OF COURSE, RAMON
BEING A SCUMBAG,
DEAD 2 YEARS WITH NO ONE
REPORTING HIM MISSING,
MAYBE THE JOB
DECIDES SAFETY
AND COST‐EFFECTIVENESS
CONCERNS
DON’T JUSTIFY
PUTTING DIVERS OFF
THE EAST RIVER PIER
LOOKING FOR THE CAR
YOU AND PETE HOT‐WIRED
THAT’S GOT RAMON’S BODY
IN THE TRUNK
IN THAT ROLLED‐UP RUG.
YOU HELP US
IN THIS OTHER MATTER,
MAYBE THE SCUBA TEAM
STAYS AT HOME,
THEN THE D.A.
DON’T PROCEED.
CHARGED OR NOT,
YOU BOTH HAVE
TO LEAVE THE JOB.
FREE YOU UP TO PURSUE
YOUR OTHER INTERESTS.
ALL PETE AND ME DID
WAS FIND OUT ABOUT
THE PLACE HE WORKED
TALKIN’ TO MARK
IN CASUAL CONVERSATION.
THEN WE INTRODUCED HIM
TO OUR UNCLES
AT A RANGERS GAME.
SO GRAHAM WOULD TRUST
YOUR UNCLES
WHEN THEY WALKED UP ON HIM
OUTSIDE THAT STORE
AND PUT ONE IN HIS HEAD.
I DIDN’T KNOW MY UNCLES
WERE GONNA SHOOT HIM.
I THOUGHT WE WERE MAKING
THE INTRO AT THE GARDEN
SO MY UNCLES COULD ASK MARK
TO BE IN ON THE STICKUP.
I SAT THE WHOLE GAME
WAITIN’ FOR ’EM
TO BRING IT UP.
I KEPT WAITING FOR YOU
TO GO ON HIS SIDE
OF THE TABLE.
I BUY IT WAS THE UNCLES.
I’M GIVING IT UP
TO YOU, SORENSON.
YOU PLAYED IT SQUARE.
SEE, WELL, YOU OUGHT
TO LEARN A LITTLE TRUST.
YEAH. IT’S A BIG ASSET
IN WHAT I DO.
OH, GOD. SAVE ME FROM
KILLING THIS PRICK.
THIS TOM ZANCANELLI SAID
HIS UNCLES DID DO IT.
HE’S NOT LEAPING IN
TO DISAGREE.
A SNITCH OF OURS
DRIVES THE UNCLES.
WHEN WE HEARD LAST NIGHT
ABOUT THE STICKUP
AND MURDER,
KNOWING THAT’S
THE UNCLES’ ACT,
WE PULLED THE SNITCH IN.
HE SWORE
HE WAS WITH THEM
AT THE TROTTERS,
AND WHAT
I HEARD FROM YOU
DIDN’T REFUTE THAT.
BUT NOW, EVIDENTLY,
YOU’RE HOLDING
A NEW OPINION.
THE SNITCH JUST
ASKED FOR IMMUNITY
ON SOMETHING THAT
HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.
I’M ASSUMING THAT MEANS
THE UNCLES DID DO
THE STICKUP‐HOMICIDE
AND THE SNITCH DROVE.
YOU’RE ASSUMING, OR
YOU DON’T WANNA TELL US
HE ALREADY COPPED TO IT?
WE WANT THE UNCLES
OUT THERE FOR A WHILE.
WHEN THE TIME COMES,
WE’LL FOLD YOUR CASE
INTO A RICO INDICTMENT.
A FEDERAL JURY CONVICTS.
BOTH OF YOU KNOW THAT.
YEAH, WELL,
YOU BETTER TAKE THAT UP
WITH ALL THE VARIOUS BOSSES
AND ALL THE VARIOUS
AGENCIES INVOLVED.
OK, AGENT FRANCIS?
’CAUSE MY MOVE IS KNOCKIN’
YOUR TEETH DOWN YOUR THROAT
FOR MOVIN’ ME AROUND
LIKE A GUTTER BUM.
KID BETTER LEARN
TO HANDLE HIS TEMPER.
HEY, HANK.
THAT GIRL’S
ASKING FOR YOU.
THANKS.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
WERE YOU LOOKING
FOR ME?
DETECTIVE RUSSELL?
YEAH.
I WAS AT THE JAMAICA
REC CENTER,
AND I SAW YOUR NAME
WAS ADDED ON
THE PHONE LIST.
YOU ALSO LOST
YOUR HUSBAND
OFF THE JOB?
YOUR HUSBAND...
GOT HIS HEART.
THANK YOU
FOR YOUR LETTER
AND THE BEAUTIFUL LETTER
YOUR HUSBAND WROTE.
AFTER BOBBY PASSED,
I WANTED TO WRITE YOU
AGAIN OR CALL YOU.
I WAITED TILL YOUR NAME
WAS ON THE PHONE LIST.
DID LINDA
GIVE YOU THE LIST?
YEAH. IT’S IN MY PURSE.
TOOK ME SEVERAL WEEKS
TO LOOK AT MINE.
ANYWAYS, I’M ON THERE.
THANKS. THANKS SO MUCH.
WHATEVER GOOD
IT MIGHT DO.
AND IF YOU DON’T CALL
FOR A WHILE,
DON’T FEEL THEN,
WHEN YOU WANNA CALL,
YOU CAN’T.
OK.
IT WAS A BLESSING
FOR ME, ALSO,
MY HUSBAND’S GIFT.
IT HELPED ME
TO UNDERSTAND.
HEY, DIANE.
HI.
GOIN’ OFF THE CHART
TODAY, HUH?
YEAH. I’M DOING
A 4:00‐TO‐12:00.
YOU MISSED
OUR JOINT EFFORT
WITH THE FBI TODAY.
VERY REASSURING
OUR FEDERAL
TAX DOLLARS
ARE BEING
WELL SPENT.
SO, HOW’S IT GOIN’?
OK.
NOT BEIN’ A WISE GUY.
NO, I KNOW.
I ACTUALLY CALLED YOU
THE OTHER NIGHT,
AFTER US WORKING
FOR JILL’S BOY.
JUST TO SAY I WAS GLAD
WE WORKED EFFECTIVELY,
ONE THING.
THAT WAS ACTUALLY IT.
AND THEN THE OTHER THING
WHY I CALLED‐‐
JAMES AND I
WERE HANGING AROUND
AFTER WE LEFT THE BAR,
AND JAMES WAS APPRAISING
THIS ARTWORK
HANGING IN THIS
ANTIQUE SHOP WINDOW,
DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT
HE WAS GONNA RELIEVE
HIMSELF IN PUBLIC.
AND I WAS THINKING
I’D CALL...
JUST TO SAY I HOPE
YOU’RE FEELING BETTER
DAY BY DAY,
KNOWIN’ IT’S NEVER
GONNA BE EASY.
TODAY WAS A BETTER DAY?
YEAH.
GOOD.
THANKS FOR ASKING.
GOOD NIGHT, DIANE.
GOOD NIGHT.
OF ALL THE EMPTY HANDS
TO PLAY‐‐
HOLDING GOD
OVER ASUNCION’S HEAD.
NO HARM TAKING A FLYER.
I HOPE HE SUFFERS,
THAT THE LEUKEMIA
DOESN’T TAKE HIM QUICKLY.
JUSTICE WITHOUT MERCY.
IT’S KIND OF
A LONG RIDE
FROM WHY I THOUGHT
I BECAME A LAWYER.
THOSE AREN’T YOUR
USUAL BELIEFS, SYLVIA.
THIS IS FRUSTRATION
AND DISCOURAGEMENT.
IT’S ME GOD’S GONNA JUDGE.
SYLVIA, YOU DIDN’T
DO NOTHIN’ WRONG.
HE’S GONNA JUDGE THAT
I DIDN’T TRY HARD ENOUGH
TO MAKE ANYTHING RIGHT.
AND YOU GOT SOME
INSIDE KNOWLEDGE
ON HIS OPINION?
WHY DON’T YOU HOLD OFF
TILL HE WEIGHS IN?
HI.
HI, DIANE.
HOW’S KYLE?
OH, I KEPT HIM
HOME FROM SCHOOL.
HE’S WITH HIS DAD NOW.
THAT’S GOOD.
YEAH, KYLE ASKED FOR KEN
3 TIMES GOING TO SLEEP.
IT’S GOOD
HE’S WITH HIM.
REMINDS HIM THERE’S
A GROWN‐UP MAN IN HIS LIFE
DOESN’T LOOK TO HURT PEOPLE.
IS THAT A BOTTLE
ON YOUR COUNTER?
YEAH.
DO YOU WANNA
TALK ABOUT IT?
GUESS I MUST.
[NERVOUS LAUGH]
I CALLED
AND I LEFT IT OUT,
SO I GUESS I MUST WANNA...
TALK ABOUT IT.
HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING?
I WANTED TO SO MUCH,
I, UH...
I WENT OUT WITH GREG AND JAMES
AND‐‐AND THE NEW GUY.
WE WERE FEELING‐‐
YOU KNOW,
WE WERE FEELING SO HAPPY
OVER KEEPING KYLE OUT OF IT,
AND IT FELT LIKE THE FIRST
DAY’S WORK I’D DONE...
WHERE I’D DONE A DECENT JOB.
SINCE YOU CAME BACK
AFTER BOBBY.
I WAS HAPPY.
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN...
I STARTED FEELING
REALLY SCARED...
AND SAD AND LIKE I WAS
GONNA BUST OUT CRYING,
AND, UH, THE WAITRESS
BROUGHT BEERS AND MY SODA...
AND GREG HAD LEFT TO GO SLEEP
WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND, AND, UH...
HIS BEER WAS THERE.
AND YOU DRANK SOME?
BUT WALKING HOME
FROM THE SUBWAY, I, UH...
I BOUGHT THAT.
AND I SAT ALL NIGHT
AFRAID TO LOOK AT IT...
OR TO LOOK AT IT
GETTING DRESSED FOR WORK...
OR TO LOOK IN THE BEDROOM.
WHY WERE YOU AFRAID
TO LOOK IN THE BEDROOM?
OH...
I WANT TO BE STRONG
FOR HIM,
AND I FEEL SO BAD, I‐‐
THIS IS GOOD, DIANE.
THIS IS GOOD.
I NEED SOME HELP.
THAT’S GOOD.
WE’RE GONNA
GET YOU SOME.
I‐‐I WANNA GO TO WORK
’CAUSE IF I START NOT GOING,
I’M GONNA STOP GOING.
OK.
WE’LL, UH,
WE’LL DO OUR
8:00‐TO‐4:00,
AND THEN WE’LL CALL
THE WIDOWS & ORPHANS.
YOU WANT ME TO POUR OUT
THAT BOTTLE?
YEAH.
PLEASE.
OK.
MISS DISTRICT ATTORNEY,
HOW ABOUT MAYBE
OFFICER DYLAN HERE
TAKE OFF THESE CUFFS,
HUH?
NO.
THIS IS
POSSESSION WITH INTENT
AND SOLICITING SEX.
THIS IS NOT MAJOR.
MEANING, ON YOUR
OTHER COLLARS, TOMMY,
YOU WERE BROUGHT
TO A D. A.’s OFFICE?
THE THING YOU TRYIN’
TO MAKE IT MAJOR
DON’T MAKE IT MAJOR
IN MY HEAD.
THAT KID WAS SELLIN’
SEX ON THE STREET.
AND YOU OFFERED HIM DRUGS
TO GET IT.
I OFFERED HIM DRUGS
TO GET OVER.
I WAS NOT SELLING.
MY DRUG ACTIVITY
AND MY SEX ACTIVITY
ARE SEPARATE‐‐ALWAYS.
THAT’S THE ONE PRINCIPLE
HE LIVES BY.
YOU THINK WE’RE
DICKIN’ AROUND WITH
POSSESSION VERSUS INTENT?
WHY DON’T YOU STOP TRYING
TO LAWYER YOUR CASE, TOMMY?
FIND OUT WHY YOU’RE HERE.
I KNOW WHY I’M HERE.
AND THIS BEEF AIN’T
ADEQUATE ENOUGH
TO GET ME TO DO
WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND.
WHICH IS WHAT,
EINSTEIN?
I AIN’T
"READY FOR FREDDIE."
ALL RIGHT? I’LL
DO THE TIME INSIDE.
THAT WAS JUAN SUAREZ’S
THINKING, TOO.
JUAN WENT INSIDE
FOR FREDDIE ASUNCION,
BUT THEN HE GOT SHANKED
IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM
ON FREDDIE’S ORDERS.
YEAH, WHATEVER.
THE WORLD’S LESS COMPLICATED
THAN YOU THINK IT IS, TOMMY.
YOU ARE COOPERATING.
THE ONLY QUESTION’S
IF YOU GET THE BENEFIT.
NUH‐UH.
Costas: "NUH‐UH"?
YOU MEAN WE ARE NOT GOING
TO ARREST FREDDIE ASUNCION
WHETHER YOU HELP US OR NOT
AND PUT IT ON YOU
IN FREDDIE’S HEAD?
PUT WHAT ON ME?
FREDDIE’S
A CAREFUL BOY.
Sipowicz: WE GOT INFORMATION
OFF A WIRETAP
ON WHERE FREDDIE’S STASH IS,
KNUCKLEHEAD.
AND WHEN WE TAKE THAT STASH
DOWN AND HIM WITH IT,
THAT’S WHAT WE PUT ON YOU‐‐
IN FREDDIE’S HEAD.
THOSE BAD‐ASS SHOULDERS,
TOMMY...
THINK YOU CAN TAKE
THE WEIGHT...
IN FREDDIE’S HEAD?
YOU GOT A WIRETAP?
WHAT YOU NEED ME
FOR?
WE DON’T WANT FREDDIE
FOR DRUGS.
THAT’S HIS ACT. WHAT
YOU WANT HIM FOR THEN?
THE HOMICIDE HE PAID
JUAN SUAREZ TO PLEAD TO.
SAY I HELP YOU...
WHERE I GET TO GO?
Sipowicz: HARVARD.
LAS VEGAS.
YEAH, WE CAN GET YOU
TO LAS VEGAS.
ALTHOUGH THAT ACT GOES OVER
BETTER IN THEM LITTLE
COWBOY TOWNS.
I SAW FREDDIE
DO THE MURDER,
AND I WAS WITH HIM
WHEN HE BOUGHT JUAN
TO DO THE TIME.
[CLEARING THROAT]
I GOTTA GET TO WORK.
Dornan: YEAH.
NOW YOU CAN GET
YOUR CUFFS OFF.
SO, UH,
IF YOU FELLAS HAVEN’T
FIRMED UP DINNER PLANS,
THAT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
COLLAR
ME AND JAMES MADE
SEVERAL DAYS AGO‐‐
COMPLAINANT’S FATHER
TURNS OUT OWNER/OPERATOR
OF HONG KONG GARDENS.
THAT THE PLACE
GOT IN A JACKPOT
SERVIN’ CAT?
NO, ANDY.
THE HONG KONG GARDENS
HAPPENED TO GET HALF A STAR
IN THE DRURY
RESTAURANT GUIDE.
OVER ON 8th
AND BOWERY.
YEAH. EXACTLY, DANNY.
TAKEOUT DINNER TONIGHT
FOR THE WHOLE SQUAD
COVERED.
WINK FOOD
GIVES ME HEADACHES.
TELL ’EM
TO HOLD THE M. S. G.
LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU
AND MARTINEZ CLEAR ONE
FOR THE OWNER
OF A STEAKHOUSE.
THAT NEW SUPERMARKET
ON PIKE SLIP AND FDR
JUST GOT ROBBED.
LOOKS LIKE A MAJOR HIT.
ANDY, YOU’RE UP?
EVERYONE’S ON IT.
Medavoy: DANNY...
TAKE THE CELLULAR PHONE.
WE’LL ORDER THE FOOD
FROM THE CAR.
Kirkendall: WE WERE
FINISHING A DAY TOUR,
HEARD THE JOB
COME OVER THE AIR.
YOU NEED HELP?
YEAH, LET’S SEE
WHAT WE GOT.
NO WITNESSES TO WHAT
HAPPENED OUT HERE.
WHEN THEY WENT
INTO THE MONEY ROOM,
THEY’RE WEARING MASKS,
MAKE EVERYBODY HIT THE FLOOR,
CLEAN THE PLACE OUT.
IN AND GONE
LESS THAN 2 MINUTES.
MARK GRAHAM,
OFF‐DUTY FROM THE JOB.
Sipowicz: LET’S
GET HIM COVERED UP.
Uniform:
YEAH.
IS THAT THE MONEY ROOM
BACK THERE?
UH, YEAH, THAT’S WHERE
THE ACTION WAS.
THIS DON’T COUNT
AS ACTION?
Uniform:
COME ON.
WE’LL DO A QUICK CANVASS
HERE AND OUT FRONT.
GOOD.
THEY WALTZ
RIGHT IN DURING OUR PEAK HOUR
AND PULL THIS OFF.
DID YOU RECOGNIZE ’EM,
MR., UH, JENKINS?
HOW COULD I RECOGNIZE THEM?
THEY HAD MASKS ON.
SOON AS THEY CAME IN,
THEY TOLD EVERYONE
TO LOOK AT THE FLOOR
AND LAY DOWN.
I LOOKED UP AND GOT THIS
FOR MY TROUBLE. OW.
YOU GOT AN ESTIMATE
ON HOW MUCH
THEY GOT OUT WITH?
170,000.
I FORGOT TO MAKE
THE BANK DEPOSIT,
AND I KNOW HOW
THAT MAKES ME LOOK.
WHO OPENED THE SAFE
FOR THEM?
I DID. AFTER THEY HIT ME,
THEY DRAGGED ME OVER
AND PUT A GUN TO MY HEAD.
WHAT CAME OUTTA THERE?
THAT’S WHERE THE SECURITY
CAMERA VIDEOTAPE WAS.
THEY WENT RIGHT FOR IT
AFTER THEY GOT THE MONEY.
HAD A HAMMER AND EVERYTHING.
YOU’RE GONNA HAVE
TO COME IN WITH US.
JUST ME OR EVERYONE
THAT WAS HERE?
WHAT’S THAT TO YOU?
WELL, I’M AFRAID
YOU THINK I DID IT.
SHUT UP.
Sorenson:
EVERYONE’S COMING IN.
WHAT’S IT LOOK LIKE?
SECURITY GUARD KILLED
OUTSIDE THE STORE
WAS AN OFF‐DUTY COP.
THE BAD GUYS
WERE IN AND OUT
IN, LIKE, 5 MINUTES.
THEY HAD TO HAVE
SOMEONE INSIDE.
MANAGER FORGOT TO
MAKE A MONEY DROP
AT THE BANK,
ADDED TO THE SCORE.
THINK HE WAS
THE SETUP GUY?
HE’S MORE THE PANICKY
TYPE YOU’RE TRYIN’
TO SAVE AT THE OCEAN:
THE JERK CLIMBS
ON YOUR SHOULDER,
DRIVES YOU DOWN INTO
THE UNDERWATER SAND.
CRIME SCENE JUST CALLED‐‐
NO LIFTS.
DO YOU WANT ME AND JILL
TO DO A 4:00‐TO‐12:00?
NO. WE’RE ALL RIGHT.
SEE YOU
IN THE MORNING.
NIGHT.
DON’T TRY COMMUNICATING
WITH ME
WHEN I’M TRYING
TO SOLVE A CASE.
GOOD NIGHT, ANDY.
HOW YOU DOIN’,
IN A THUMBNAIL?
OK.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
WANNA TALK WITH THIS GUY
TRIED TO DROWN YOU?
EXCUSE ME A SECOND.
10 MINUTES MAX
ON THE CHINESE.
OH, YEAH?
THAT’S THEIR E. T. A.?
YEAH. UH, THE BIKE GUY
JUST LEFT THE RESTAURANT.
EXCUSE THE INTERRUPTION.
HOW’S THE HEAD?
I KNOW NOT MAKING
THAT VAULT DROP
CASTS A SHADOW ON ME,
BUT I SWEAR I HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.
WELL, YOU SAID YOU DIDN’T
MAKE THAT BANK DEPOSIT
’CAUSE YOU WERE BUSY.
WE WERE NONSTOP BUSY
ALL DAY,
AND IF ANYTHING,
AROUND 3:00
IT GOT BUSIER.
YOU GOT ANY FINANCIAL
PROBLEMS OF YOUR OWN?
NO. I MEAN, NO MORE
THAN THE NEXT PERSON.
WHICH NEXT PERSON?
ARE YOU OVEREXTENDED
AT ALL?
WE RENT. I’M CURRENT
ON THOSE PAYMENTS.
WE OWE AROUND 1,800
AGGREGATE
ON MY WIFE’S
AND MY CREDIT CARDS.
$1,830.
WHY WOULD THE STICKUP GUYS
HIT YOU?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU TOLD US YOU OPENED THE SAFE
WHEN THEY ASKED YOU TO.
YES. IN THAT SITUATION,
MY TRAINING IS TO COOPERATE.
SO WHY WOULD THEY HIT YOU?
THEY HIT ME BEFORE THAT
WHEN THEY FIRST CAME IN
AND MADE US LIE
FACE DOWN.
ONE OF THEM SAW ME
LOOK UP.
THEY’RE WEARIN’ MASKS.
WHY WOULD THEY WORRY
IF YOU SAW ’EM?
SOMETIMES ON A JOB LIKE THIS,
THE STICKUP GUYS
WILL THROW A PUNCH
INTO WHOEVER
SET THE JOB UP FOR ’EM,
HALF PISTOL‐WHIP AND SO FORTH
TO THROW SUSPICION OFF.
YEAH, THAT’S
NOT UNHEARD OF.
I HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH THIS.
I DON’T KNOW
WHY THEY HIT ME.
THEY JUST SEEMED
CRUEL AND VIOLENT.
FOR GOD’S SAKE,
THEY KILLED THAT GUARD.
WAS HE TRYING
TO RESIST?!
WILL YOU STOP CROUCHIN’
AND SIT UP STRAIGHT?
COME ON, SIT UP.
[SIPOWICZ SIGHS]
YOU GOT YOUR LIST OF CURRENT
AND FORMER EMPLOYEES?
YES.
DOG‐EAR WHOEVER GOT FIRED
OR DISCIPLINED
OR JUST RUBBED YOU
THE WRONG WAY‐‐
ANY THAT KNEW YOUR LAYOUT.
AM I STILL A SUSPECT?
NOT AT THE PRESENT.
RELAX AND DO WHAT
HE ASKED YOU TO DO.
SO IF WE HAD A SHORT LIST,
MR. JENKINS WOULD BE OFF IT.
WHAT’S THIS NOW?
BOTH I. A. B.?
NO, THE OTHER GUY’S FBI.
Sipowicz:
WHAT’S THAT?
IT’S A LITTLE EARLY
TO SAY.
THEY COME TOGETHER?
DOESN’T MEAN
THEY’RE NOT.
Sorenson:
THEY’RE BOTH ASKIN’
ABOUT OUR CASE?
MM‐HMM.
YOU’VE MET
SERGEANT MARTENS
FROM INTERNAL AFFAIRS,
AND THIS IS
FBI AGENT FRANCIS.
DANNY SORENSON.
DANNY.
HOW’S IT GOIN’,
AGENT FRANCIS?
Fancy: ANDY SIPOWICZ
YOU KNOW.
YEAH.
WHAT’S
GOIN’ ON?
WE MONITORED SOME CONVERSATIONS
OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS
ABOUT A BIG CASH SCORE
GOING DOWN,
WANTED TO TOUCH BASE,
SEE IF THIS STICKUP HOMICIDE
AT THE COST‐RITE MIGHT FIT.
WHOSE PHONE YOU GOT UP
THAT YOU MONITORED
THOSE CONVERSATIONS ON?
IF I TOLD YA,
I’D HAVE TO KILL YA.
HE’D HAVE
TO KILL ME.
WHAT BRINGS I. A. B. UP,
SARGE?
AN OFF‐DUTY COP
WAS SHOT.
YEAH, WE’RE AWARE
AN OFF‐DUTY COP GOT SHOT.
I THINK DETECTIVE SORENSON’S
MORE INTERESTED IN YOUR
GETTING UP HERE SO SOON.
TICKLIN’ PHONES
WITH THE BUREAU, SARGE?
I MET AGENT FRANCIS
WHEN THE TWO OF US
WALKED INTO THIS OFFICE.
WELL, WE’RE ALL IN HERE NOW.
WE GOT NOTHIN’ FOR YA.
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING?
Sipowicz: NOPE.
WANT SOME CHINESE FOOD?
THERE WERE
NO SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS?
BAD GUYS COPPED THE SETUP.
NO EYEWITNESSES?
NO. BAD GUYS HAD MASKS ON.
WHY WOULD THE BAD GUYS TAKE OUT
THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS
IF THEY WERE WEARING MASKS?
Sorenson: WHEN THEY
ENTERED THE MONEY ROOM,
WHERE ALL THE WITNESSES WERE,
THEY WERE WEARING
MASKS AND GLOVES.
WE ASSUME THEY PUT THEM ON
WHEN THEY GOT
INSIDE THE BUILDING.
Sipowicz: BEING WE’RE
BELOW 10,000 FEET
OF ALTITUDE,
THEY MAY HAVE FELT
WEARING THOSE SKI MASKS
WALKING TOWARDS
THE STORE ENTRANCE
THROUGH THE PARKING LOT
MIGHT DRAW SOME
UNWELCOME ATTENTION.
HEY, SARGE, ANY CHANCE
ANOTHER REASON THE BAD GUYS
DIDN’T PUT THEIR MASKS ON
WAS SO THE OFF‐DUTY COP
OUTSIDE THE BUILDING
WOULD KNOW WHO
HE WAS DEALING WITH?
WHAT’S YOUR THINKING
THERE?
WELL, SAY THE OFF‐DUTY COP
WAS THE SETUP MAN,
AND THEY TOOK HIM OUT
IN A DOUBLE‐CROSS.
I GUESS THAT COULD BE.
NO. WHY DON’T YOU ANSWER
HIM STRAIGHT, HUH?
ARE YOU UP HERE
SO QUICK BECAUSE,
PRIOR TO HIM GOING DOWN,
YOU WERE ALREADY SITTING
ON THIS OFF‐DUTY COP
FOR BEING WRONG?
IN WHICH CASE,
YOU’VE PROBABLY GOT
A DIRECTION FOR US.
HELP REGULAR COPS?
HE’D GET TOSSED FROM
THE CHEESE‐EATERS’ LODGE.
IS THIS WRANGLING AWKWARD
FOR YOU, AGENT FRANCIS?
NO. HASH THINGS OUT.
WELL, I WAS THINKING,
IF YOU GOT WHAT YOU NEEDED,
MAYBE YOU’D BE MORE
COMFORTABLE SPLITTIN’.
YOU REMIND ME OF DONNY OSMOND
WITH YOUR PARTNER’S
PERSONALITY.
AGENT FRANCIS,
I’M PROUD TO TELL YOU,
I GOT ALL DONNY’S ALBUMS,
INCLUDING MORMON HYMNS
TO FEDERAL AGENTS WHO STEAL
THEIR WEEKLY PAYCHECKS.
Sipowicz:
ALL RIGHT, KID.
IF YOU’RE NOT
SHOWIN’ US SOME OF YOURS,
I THINK WE’RE DONE.
I WILL SIMPLIFY AND MAKE
MY QUESTION MORE SPECIFIC.
YOU ARE CERTAIN THERE IS
NO SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE
OF THE BAD GUYS
COMING OR GOING.
YES, WE ARE CERTAIN.
AT THIS POINT.
ASSHOLE.
PANTS‐PISSER.
[DOOR SLAMS]
HE’S ONLY INTERESTED
IN SURVEILLANCE CAMERA,
MAYBE HE’S PROTECTING
SOME OUTSIDE GUY.
EXCUSE ME NOT WANTING
TO HELP THE BUREAU
COLLAR UP.
OH, THAT’S WHY YOU WERE
SO CLOSE‐MOUTHED.
IF I GIVE YOU WHAT
WE’VE GOT ON THIS CASE,
ANY COPS PRESENTLY
ON THE JOB,
MY OFFICE COLLARS.
ANYONE ELSE IS YOURS.
AW, DON’T TELL ME
I DON’T GET TO LOCK UP COPS.
I’LL GET SOME PHOTOS
OUT OF MY CAR.
I’M LOOKING
FOR LINDA KRAUSE.
HI.
I’M DIANE RUSSELL.
HI, DIANE.
THANKS FOR,
UH, SEEING ME.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
I APPRECIATED YOU
GIVING ME YOUR CARD
AT MY HUSBAND’S FUNERAL.
SORRY I HAVEN’T BEEN
ABLE TO CALL BEFORE.
IT’S BEEN PRETTY HECTIC.
YOU BACK AT WORK?
MM‐HMM.
I’M BACK AT THE SQUAD
WHERE MY HUSBAND
AND I WORKED.
THAT MUST BE HARD
EVERY DAY.
I HAVEN’T BEEN DOING
THAT GOOD OF A JOB,
BUT THEN YESTERDAY, I...
I THOUGHT I DID
PRETTY WELL.
MY GIRLFRIEND’S
ALSO A COP,
AND I WAS ABLE TO, UH,
HELP HER WITH SOMETHING.
BUT THEN, I, UM...
BUT THEN I BOUGHT
A‐‐A BOTTLE.
WHICH HAS BEEN A PROBLEM
WITH ME IN THE PAST.
I WAS DOING PRETTY WELL.
I‐‐I WASN’T DOING
THAT WELL AT MY JOB,
BUT THEN YESTERDAY
I THOUGHT I DID PRETTY WELL.
AND THEN, UH...
NOW, SUDDENLY, THINGS
GOT REALLY CONFUSED.
WELL, I’M GLAD
YOU CALLED.
YOU’RE GONNA
STRAIGHTEN ME RIGHT OUT?
NOBODY WANTS
TO MEET WITH US, DIANE.
IT’S HARD COMING
INTO THIS ROOM.
I FEEL‐‐I FEEL LIKE
I’M...LOSING HIM.
LIKE EVERY DAY I LOSE
A LITTLE MORE OF HIM.
YOU FEEL LIKE COMING
IN HERE COST YOU
SOME OF BOBBY, TOO?
I FEEL LIKE I’M LOSING
MORE AND MORE OF HIM.
BECAUSE I PROMISE YOU,
DIANE,
COMING IN HERE,
YOU’RE GONNA GET
YOUR HUSBAND BACK.
YOU’RE GONNA LEARN WAYS
IT WON’T HURT TOO MUCH
TO REMEMBER.
I LOVED MY HUSBAND...
SO MUCH.
I LOVED MINE, TOO,
AND I LOST HIM
TOO YOUNG.
EVERYTHING...HURTS.
YOU GOTTA LET IT
BEFORE IT’LL STOP.
[SOBBING]
DOES THIS COUNT?
YEAH.
THIS IS
A PRETTY GOOD START.
WE’RE AWASH IN OUTSIDE
AGENCIES, HUH, ANDY?
YEAH.
THE FBI, THE RAT SQUAD.
WHAT DID
THE RAT SQUAD WANT?
WHAT DID YOU DO WITH
ALL THEM TAKEOUT CONTAINERS?
FROM WHAT?
FROM THE CHINESE FOOD?
YEAH. WHAT DID YOU DO
WITH THOSE?
WHAT’S THAT HAVE TO DO
WITH ME ASKING
ABOUT THE RAT SQUAD?
ANDY...Y‐YOU’RE
NOT IMPLYING THAT
THE RAT SQUAD’S HERE
LOOKING INTO THOSE
FREE CHINESE FOOD MEALS?
YOU WANT AN ANALYSIS
WHY THEM PEOPLE DO
WHAT THEY DO, MEDAVOY,
ASK ELSEWHERE.
HEY, GIVE ME A BREAK!
WHAT ARE THEY ALLEGING,
THAT, UH, I’M USING
MY POWER OF AUTHORITY
TO GET FREE MEALS?
THAT STORE OWNER OFFERED
THOSE DINNERS AS A TOKEN
OF HIS GRATITUDE!
WHAT DO YOU RAISE
YOUR VOICE TO ME FOR?
NO! BECAUSE
THAT’S RIDICULOUS!
THOSE TAKEOUT
CONTAINERS,
TH‐THEY’RE OUTSIDE
IN THE TRASH BIN BY NOW,
FOR GOODNESS SAKE.
ALL’S I KNOW, IF I WAS
IN AN ORGANIZATION
CALLED THE RAT SQUAD,
HAVING TO PAW AROUND
FOR EVIDENCE IN A TRASH BIN
WOULDN’T HOLD ME BACK.
THIS ONE RIGHT HERE?
YEAH.
SO WHERE DID GREG
HURRY OFF TO?
YEAH. UH, I DON’T KNOW.
THAT’S GRAHAM,
THE OFF‐DUTY COP
WHO GOT SHOT.
HIS CONSTANT COMPANIONS
ARE WHO YOU LIKE
FOR SHOOTING HIM?
BOTH ON THE JOB ALSO.
TOM AND PETE ZANCANELLI.
THEY’RE WHO YOU THINK
WERE UNDER THE SKI MASKS?
EITHER THEY
DID THE STICKUP
AND SHOT GRAHAM‐‐
THEIR FELLOW COP
THAT WAS THEIR FRIEND?
OR, MORE LIKELY,
THEY SET THE PLAY UP,
AND THEIR UNCLES
GARY AND LOU ZANCANELLI
DID THE ACTUAL
ROBBERY‐HOMICIDE.
OH, GARY AND
LOU ZANCANELLI.
STICKUPS ARE
THE UNCLES’ ACT.
THEY RETIRED
OFF THE JOB, LIKE,
15 YEARS AGO.
HEY, ANY OF
THESE ASSHOLES,
DON’T TELL ME
THEIR CONNECTION
WITH THE JOB NO MORE.
WE GET TO PUT BRACELETS
ON GARY AND LOU?
THEY GOT
OUTSTANDING WARRANTS
FOR A RICO BEEF,
THESE UNCLES RETIRED
OFF THE JOB.
DID I JUST TELL YOU
NOT TO MENTION THE JOB?!
I’M SAYING THEY’RE
RETIRED, SIPOWICZ!
THEY’RE CIVILIANS NOW,
AND YOU GET
TO COLLAR THEM.
YEAH? WELL, THANKS A LOT
FOR THAT PRIVILEGE!
I MADE ’EM WRONG?!
JUST GIVE ME
THEIR ADDRESS!
THAT’S ALL I WANT
TO KNOW FROM YOU.
YEAH. LET ME
WRITE THEIR ADDRESS
WHILE YOU ABUSE ME
FOR DOING
THE SAME JOB YOU DO.
YOU DON’T DO
THE SAME JOB!
THE HELL I DON’T!
YOU DON’T DO IT
WITH THE RIGHT HEART.
DON’T YOU TELL ME
WHAT’S IN MY HEART!
DON’T YOU CURSE
AT ME AGAIN!
AND DON’T YOU
STATE A BAD OPINION
ABOUT WHAT I DO!
THEY CHASE TAIL
AT NIGHT.
GRAB ’EM IN THE MORNING.
I GAVE ’EM WHAT THEY NEED.
HEY, HOW’S IT GOING,
SERGEANT MARTENS?
WHAT DID YOU DO, MEDAVOY,
TAKE A NAP IN A SEWER?
I’M GONNA
TELL YOU SOMETHING,
SERGEANT MARTENS.
WHAT SICKENS ME IS NOT
MY OWN NEAR ENSNAREMENT
IN YOUR PETTY PLOT.
NO. IT’S THE DISGRACEFUL
SCARE TACTICS
YOU MUST HAVE EMPLOYED
ON THAT POOR CHINESE
RESTAURANT OWNER,
GETTING HIM
TO GO ALONG!
WELL, SERGEANT,
I DO NOT REGRET
10 SECONDS OF THE TIME
I JUST SPENT
ELBOW‐DEEP
IN REFUSE AND MUCK,
BECAUSE IT ENABLES ME
TO CONFRONT YOU NOW
AND TELL YOU
THAT YOU...GOT...THIS!
AND HERE’S
WHAT YOU CAN KISS!
YEAH, YEAH.
NOW GIVE ME THAT
THOUSAND‐MILE STARE,
LIKE I’M TALKING
GIBBERISH,
OR YOU DON’T KNOW
WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT
YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT.
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT
I’M TALKING ABOUT, HUH?
OR‐‐OR I SUPPOSE YOU
EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE
THAT SOMEONE
IN MY OWN SQUAD
HAS MISLED ME,
AND THAT I’M THE VICTIM
OF A SICKENING PRANK.
EXCUSE ME FOR NOT
CHOOSING TO BELIEVE
THAT ONE, SERGEANT.
EXCUSE ME FOR NOT BELIEVING
THAT I‐I’VE JUST BEEN
MADE A TOTAL JERK‐OFF,
SERGEANT MARTENS,
BY SOMEONE CLOSE TO HOME!
BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE
THE ALTERNATIVE.
OLD WESTBURY.
YEAH. MAYBE THEY LIVE
NEXT TO GOTTI’S DAUGHTER,
THE ELDER ZANCANELLIS.
DID MY PARTNER
JAMES MARTINEZ GO HOME?
HE FINISHED
HIS INTERVIEWS.
DID YOU SEE WHETHER
HE LEFT OR NOT, DANNY?
YEAH. HE WENT HOME.
OH. ALL RIGHT.
THANKS VERY MUCH.
THANKS FOR
THAT INFORMATION.
WHAT HAPPENED, GREG?
OH, JUST A LITTLE
BOYS‐WILL‐BE‐BOYS
FOOLISHNESS, LIEUTENANT.
RESULTED IN ME INCURRING
A 25‐TO‐30 DOLLAR
DRY CLEANING BILL
FOR MY OVERCOAT.
NOTHING YOU NEED
CONCERN YOURSELF WITH.
Fancy: WHEN ARE YOU
PICKING THESE GUYS UP?
WELL, IT’S A 45‐MINUTE DRIVE.
LIKE 5:00 IN THE MORNING?
YEAH, ALL RIGHT.
AND WE’LL CALL NASSAU COUNTY
TO GET THEM TO BACK US UP?
YEAH, I‐I’D HAVE OFFERED
TO ACCOMPANY MY COLLEAGUES,
BUT I WANT TO BE
EARLY AT MY DOCTOR’S
FOR A TETANUS SHOT!
GOOD NIGHT.
DON’T EVER PASS
THE REMARK
"THE SKY IS FALLING"
AND NOT EXPECT
THE NEXT TIME
YOU SEE MEDAVOY
TO BE WEARING
A HARD HAT.
WHEW!
DID YOU ENJOY THAT,
WALKING US IN CUFFS
PAST ALL THEM COPS?
SHUT UP.
HEH. YEAH,
THEY’RE LACKEYS NOW
FOR THE FBI.
I SWEAR TO GOD,
I’M GLAD I LEFT THIS JOB
WHEN I DID.
Sorenson:
HOW LONG AGO WAS THAT,
LEAVING ACTIVE DUTY?
9 YEARS.
BEFORE YOU WERE BORN.
WAS THAT THE LAST TIME
YOU BRUSHED YOUR TEETH?
SIT WITH THESE 2 LOUDMOUTH
PIECES OF GARBAGE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING?!
THAT’S OUR WARRANT
YOU BROUGHT THEM IN ON.
WE DON’T WANT THEM
SQUEEZED RIGHT NOW.
AGENT FRANCIS,
YOU’RE STARTING
TO RESEMBLE SOMEBODY
WHO WANTS TO BURY
A ROBBERY‐HOMICIDE.
OUR INFORMATION IS
THE OLDER ZANCANELLIS
WEREN’T INVOLVED.
IT WAS THEIR NEPHEWS
THAT DID IT.
HOW DO YOU KNOW
THESE GUYS DIDN’T DO IT
AND THEIR NEPHEWS
STILL ON THE JOB DID?
I DON’T ENJOY
WITHHOLDING INFORMATION,
BUT OTHER PRIORITIES
ARE IN PLAY HERE.
ARE THE INTERVIEW ROOMS OPEN?
OUR PRESENT ASSESSMENT‐‐
THOSE ARE
YOUR STICKUP GUYS.
GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE.
RELEASE THE UNCLES,
OR WE’LL
VACATE THE WARRANT
YOU’RE HOLDING ’EM ON.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
YEAH.
HI.
MM‐HMM. OK.
SYLVIA. THEY GRABBED UP
THAT ASUNCION.
GO AHEAD. WE’RE FIFTH WHEELS
AROUND HERE ANYWAY,
IN OUR OWN SQUAD,
STANDING AROUND
HOLDING OUR JOINTS.
YOU ARE NOT
A FIFTH WHEEL.
LET ME SEE IF
YOU CAN GRASP HOW.
THE ONLY CHANCE
I. A. B. HAD
GETTIN’ THE YOUNGER
ZANCANELLIS
TO COOPERATE
IS IF THOSE UNCLES
DID DO IT.
NOW YOU TELL ME WHY.
IF THE YOUNGER ONES
ONLY SET IT UP,
THEY COULD GIVE UP
THEIR UNCLES FOR A WALK.
CORRECT.
AND THIS FBI DILDO
SAYIN’
THE YOUNGER
ZANCANELLIS DID
THE JOB THEMSELVES,
THEY AIN’T GONNA
GIVE UP NOTHIN’.
IS THAT CORRECT?
CORRECT.
NOW, DIDN’T YOU TELL ME
YOU RECOGNIZED SOMEBODY
IN MARTENS’
SURVEILLANCE PHOTOS?
UH, WHAT WAS
HIS INITIALS‐‐
J.B.
J.B. THAT’S RIGHT, YEAH.
NOW, MAYBE
HE GIVES YOU SOMETHING
I.A.B.
CAN USE FOR LEVERAGE
ON THE YOUNGER ONES.
YEAH, LET ME PUT MYSELF
OWING ONE TO MY INFORMANT
SO WE CAN BUY A LITTLE
LEVERAGE FOR I. A. B.
HEY, CLEARING A HOMICIDE
IS CLEARING A HOMICIDE.
YOU KNOW,
CALMIN’ YOU DOWN
MIGHT BE THE BEST THING
EVER HAPPENED
TO MY GASTRIC UPSETS.
DORNAN, SHE’S NOT
IN THERE ALONE WITH HIM?
RELAX.
IS HE GONNA GIVE IT UP,
ASUNCION?
HE’S GOT LEUKEMIA.
I WILL SEE TO IT
THAT YOU GET FULL
MEDICAL TREATMENT.
HEY, BABE, I GOT 6 MONTHS
IF I WAS PRESIDENT CLINTON
RECEIVING COMPLETE
MEDICAL TREATMENT,
IF I WAS THE RICHEST
COMPUTER OWNER.
DO YOU BELIEVE
GOD JUDGES US?
WELL, I GUESS THAT’S
BETWEEN ME AND MY PRIEST.
HEY, SHE’LL TELL YOU
WHO IT’S BETWEEN.
OH, YEAH? WELL, SO FAR,
I DON’T SEE HER
IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT.
I HEARD
ONE EYEWITNESS
TO AN INCIDENT
4 YEARS BEFORE.
WHAT’S THAT? THAT AIN’T
NO CORROBORATION,
AND THAT’S A LONG‐ASS
PASSAGE OF TIME
FOR UNRELIABILITY, HUH?
FREDDIE THINKS
HE’S CLARENCE DARROW.
HE’S GONNA BE
CLARENCE DARROW
LOOKIN’ LIKE MOMS MABLEY
IN A MINUTE.
FREDDIE, DO YOU HAVE
ANY FAMILY?
YEAH. I GOT THE WIFE
OF THAT DEAD SUAREZ
YOU’RE SO WORRIED ABOUT
I’M PRESENTLY BANGING.
HAVE YOU GOT ANYONE
IN THE SYSTEM
COMING TO TRIAL
OR INCARCERATED?
I’M GONNA BE DEAD
ANYWAY.
WHY DO YOU WANT
THIS CONFESSION SO MUCH?
ANSWER MY QUESTION.
IS THERE ANYONE
THAT YOU WOULD TRADE
A CONFESSION TO HELP?
NO.
I GOT NOBODY.
SO I GUESS YOU GOT
NO WAY TO REACH ME, HUH?
RIGHT OVER THERE.
TOM AND PETE ZANCANELLI.
FIRST OF ALL‐‐WHO?
D, WHY SHOULD I GIVE
SOMETHING UP
AND COOPERATE
WHEN I’M NOT EVEN
IN CUSTODY FOR DOING
ANYTHING WRONG?
THAT’S YOU, J. B.‐‐
ALWAYS LOOKING JUST
TO COME UP EVEN.
HEY, DANNY, YOU LIVED
WITH ME ON THAT CORNER
3 YEARS.
I PUT MY HAT
ON THE PILLOW AT NIGHT,
I’LL SETTLE FOR EVEN
EVERY TIME.
AS OPPOSED TO COMING OUT
AHEAD FOR ONCE?
HOW AM I GONNA
COME OUT AHEAD
IF I GOT NOTHING
TO BEAT?
YOU DON’T GOT
THE STREET TO BEAT?
OH, I’M NEVER GONNA
BEAT THE STREET.
BECAUSE YOU DON’T THINK
FARSIGHTED, J. B.
YOU DON’T LOOK TO PUT
SOMETHING IN THE BANK
GAINING INTEREST.
WHAT’S YOUR DREAM?
THINK BIG.
DANNY, WHAT THE HELL
YOU DOIN’ TO ME?
I GIVE UP
THE ZANCANELLI COUSINS,
AND SOMEHOW
THAT’S GONNA GET ME
IN A DOO‐WOP GROUP
SIGNING
SOME RECORD LABEL?
WHAT IT COULD DO
FOR YOU, J. B.?
YOUR PAROLE OFFICER
COMES TO ME‐‐
"DANNY, SHOULD I
GREEN LIGHT THIS KID
"WANTS TO TRAVEL
OUT OF STATE
"WITH HIS SUCCESSFUL
GROUP HE’S JOINED
THAT THEY’RE SINGING
DOWN IN ATLANTIC CITY,
AND SO FORTH?"
AND MY ANSWER,
BY YOU BANKING
WHAT YOU BANKED WITH ME
ON THE ZANCANELLIS‐‐
ABSOLUTELY.
THIS KID’S SINGING SUCCESS
IS NO ACCIDENT.
HE’S ABSOLUTELY
TURNED THE CORNER
WHERE HE’S A NO‐RISK
FOR OUT‐OF‐STATE TRAVEL.
THAT’S WHAT YOU GET
FOR BEING FARSIGHTED.
THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN
LOSE ON THIS, J. B.‐‐
HELPING ME WITH
THE ZANCANELLIS‐‐
IF YOU NEVER DID
ANOTHER CRIME.
LOOK ME IN THE EYE
AND TELL ME THAT’S
NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
THEY WHACKED A GUY.
WHO’D THEY WHACK?
RAMON TERRESTO.
LIKE, 2 YEARS AGO.
IN THE EAST VILLAGE
WHERE WE ALL GREW UP.
HOW’D IT GO DOWN?
WE’RE OUT
DRIVIN’ AROUND‐‐
HIGH, FEELIN’ GOOD‐‐
YOU KNOW, TALKING ABOUT
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
A LITTLE.
TOM SAYS,
"REMEMBER RAMON?"
SO WE’RE ALL TELLING
STORIES ON RAMON‐‐
ALL THE STUFF
WE DID TOGETHER‐‐
BUT, LIKE,
PETE GETS MEAN.
HE SAYS, "YOU KNOW
WHAT I REMEMBER NOW?
THAT SON‐OF‐A‐BITCH
SPIC RAMON STILL
OWES ME 200."
SO HE FISHES
IN HIS WALLET,
AND HE FINDS
RAMON’S ADDRESS.
HE SAYS, "I STILL GOT
THAT SON‐OF‐A‐BITCH
SPIC’S ADDRESS
IN MY WALLET."
RAMON’S BAD LUCK,
TURNS OUT WE’RE, LIKE,
ONLY 8 BLOCKS AWAY.
I DIDN’T GO UP
WITH THEM,
BUT, AFTERWARD,
THEY CAME BACK DOWN
WITH A ROLLED‐UP RUG.
PETE STOOD GUARD WHILE
TOM HOT‐WIRED A CAR,
AND WE TOOK THAT RUG
WITH RAMON ROLLED IN IT
INTO THE TRUNK
OF THE STOLEN CAR.
THEY DROVE THAT CAR
TO THE EAST RIVER,
AND THEY RAN IT
OFF THE PIER.
I FOLLOWED IN PETE’S CAR
AND PICKED
THE TWO OF THEM UP.
YOU GOT ANYTHING
TO BACK YOUR STORY?
PETE WAS AFRAID TO HAVE
THE GUN IN THE CAR
WHILE THEY’RE
TRANSPORTING THE BODY,
SO HE GIVE IT TO ME
TO TOSS.
I STILL GOT THAT GUN.
J.B., YOU JUST GOT
AHEAD OF THE GAME.
SO I ASSUME YOU’RE
WAITING HERE
FOR THE TECHNICIAN
TO COME VIDEOTAPE
THESE YOUNGER
ZANCANELLIS’
CONFESSIONS.
YOU COULD TURN OUT
TO BE A DECENT GUY,
SORENSON.
I GUESS THAT’LL DEPEND
ON HOW IMPRESSIONABLE
YOU ARE.
SO THAT’D BE A SWIPE
AT MY PARTNER?
GIVE ME SOME SPACE,
WOULD YOU?
I GOT A CASE
IN THE CRAPPER.
’CAUSE WHAT I WANTED
TO TELL YOU,
OFF A SUGGESTION
FROM DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ,
I REACHED OUT
TO AN INFORMANT‐‐J. B.
HE GAVE ME SOMETHING
ON YOUR GUYS.
J.B. FROM OUR
SURVEILLANCE PHOTOS?
SEE NOW, THERE AGAIN,
YOU DIDN’T SHARE
THAT INFORMATION.
NEITHER DID YOU
THAT YOU RECOGNIZED HIM.
WHAT’D HE GIVE YOU?
SARGE.
SORENSON,
IF I LET YOU
GO IN THAT ROOM
AND LET YOU RUN
THAT INTERVIEW,
I CAN THINK OF
5 DIFFERENT WAYS
THAT YOU
CAN SCREW ME.
AND NOT LETTING ME
RUN IT, SARGE,
AND ME NOT SHARING MY TIP
FROM MY INFORMANT,
WHAT’LL BE YOUR FALLBACK
INVESTIGATIVE APPROACH?
THIS IS
DETECTIVE SORENSON.
I.A.B.?
NO. I’M IN
THE 15th SQUAD HERE.
SO YOU CAN RECOGNIZE
MY FEELINGS, MY HURT.
I’M GETTING A LITTLE
AGITATED WITH THIS CRAP.
AND I EXPECT
YOUR BROTHER IS ALSO.
I’M SURE PETE IS.
HOW’S HE NOT GONNA BE?
HE QUESTIONS US
ABOUT MARK GRAHAM,
A MURDERED FRIEND
AND FELLOW COP.
ALL RIGHT?
CAPISCE?
I MEANT, PETE
MUST BE GETTING
ESPECIALLY AGITATED,
SINCE HE’S
HALF‐WACKY ANYHOW
AND PRONE
TO ACTS OF VIOLENCE.
I CAME HERE ON THE COMINGS
AND GOINGS AND ACQUAINTANCES
OF A MURDERED FRIEND
AND FELLOW COP.
MARK GRAHAM.
MARK GRAHAM.
MURDERED IN A STICKUP
THAT I KNOW NOTHIN’ ABOUT.
TOM, PUT MARK GRAHAM
TO ONE SIDE.
EXCLUDE HIM
FROM YOUR MIND
TILL WE TALK ABOUT
RAMON TERRESTO
AND WHAT YOUR
HALF‐WACKY BROTHER
DID TO HIM
WITH YOU PRESENT.
RAMON TERRESTO.
RAMON TERRESTO.
CORRECT.
I WANT MY DELEGATE.
YOU SHOULD NOT ONLY
HAVE YOUR DELEGATE, TOM,
BUT A LAWYER ALSO
THAT’S READY TO SLOT YOU
FOR A LOT OF HOURS.
AND YOU’D BETTER GET
READY TO REFINANCE
YOUR PROPERTY
AND CLOSE YOUR KIDS’
EDUCATION ACCOUNTS,
SO YOU CAN SPEND EVERY
CENT YOU EVER SAVED
ON THAT SHYSTER
THAT YOU’RE GONNA HIRE.
’CAUSE, TOM,
WE’RE PREPARED
TO GO TO BAT
IN RAMON TERRESTO’S
HOMICIDE
AND MAKE YOU
DEFEND YOURSELF.
OF COURSE, RAMON
BEING A SCUMBAG,
DEAD 2 YEARS WITH NO ONE
REPORTING HIM MISSING,
MAYBE THE JOB
DECIDES SAFETY
AND COST‐EFFECTIVENESS
CONCERNS
DON’T JUSTIFY
PUTTING DIVERS OFF
THE EAST RIVER PIER
LOOKING FOR THE CAR
YOU AND PETE HOT‐WIRED
THAT’S GOT RAMON’S BODY
IN THE TRUNK
IN THAT ROLLED‐UP RUG.
YOU HELP US
IN THIS OTHER MATTER,
MAYBE THE SCUBA TEAM
STAYS AT HOME,
THEN THE D.A.
DON’T PROCEED.
CHARGED OR NOT,
YOU BOTH HAVE
TO LEAVE THE JOB.
FREE YOU UP TO PURSUE
YOUR OTHER INTERESTS.
ALL PETE AND ME DID
WAS FIND OUT ABOUT
THE PLACE HE WORKED
TALKIN’ TO MARK
IN CASUAL CONVERSATION.
THEN WE INTRODUCED HIM
TO OUR UNCLES
AT A RANGERS GAME.
SO GRAHAM WOULD TRUST
YOUR UNCLES
WHEN THEY WALKED UP ON HIM
OUTSIDE THAT STORE
AND PUT ONE IN HIS HEAD.
I DIDN’T KNOW MY UNCLES
WERE GONNA SHOOT HIM.
I THOUGHT WE WERE MAKING
THE INTRO AT THE GARDEN
SO MY UNCLES COULD ASK MARK
TO BE IN ON THE STICKUP.
I SAT THE WHOLE GAME
WAITIN’ FOR ’EM
TO BRING IT UP.
I KEPT WAITING FOR YOU
TO GO ON HIS SIDE
OF THE TABLE.
I BUY IT WAS THE UNCLES.
I’M GIVING IT UP
TO YOU, SORENSON.
YOU PLAYED IT SQUARE.
SEE, WELL, YOU OUGHT
TO LEARN A LITTLE TRUST.
YEAH. IT’S A BIG ASSET
IN WHAT I DO.
OH, GOD. SAVE ME FROM
KILLING THIS PRICK.
THIS TOM ZANCANELLI SAID
HIS UNCLES DID DO IT.
HE’S NOT LEAPING IN
TO DISAGREE.
A SNITCH OF OURS
DRIVES THE UNCLES.
WHEN WE HEARD LAST NIGHT
ABOUT THE STICKUP
AND MURDER,
KNOWING THAT’S
THE UNCLES’ ACT,
WE PULLED THE SNITCH IN.
HE SWORE
HE WAS WITH THEM
AT THE TROTTERS,
AND WHAT
I HEARD FROM YOU
DIDN’T REFUTE THAT.
BUT NOW, EVIDENTLY,
YOU’RE HOLDING
A NEW OPINION.
THE SNITCH JUST
ASKED FOR IMMUNITY
ON SOMETHING THAT
HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.
I’M ASSUMING THAT MEANS
THE UNCLES DID DO
THE STICKUP‐HOMICIDE
AND THE SNITCH DROVE.
YOU’RE ASSUMING, OR
YOU DON’T WANNA TELL US
HE ALREADY COPPED TO IT?
WE WANT THE UNCLES
OUT THERE FOR A WHILE.
WHEN THE TIME COMES,
WE’LL FOLD YOUR CASE
INTO A RICO INDICTMENT.
A FEDERAL JURY CONVICTS.
BOTH OF YOU KNOW THAT.
YEAH, WELL,
YOU BETTER TAKE THAT UP
WITH ALL THE VARIOUS BOSSES
AND ALL THE VARIOUS
AGENCIES INVOLVED.
OK, AGENT FRANCIS?
’CAUSE MY MOVE IS KNOCKIN’
YOUR TEETH DOWN YOUR THROAT
FOR MOVIN’ ME AROUND
LIKE A GUTTER BUM.
KID BETTER LEARN
TO HANDLE HIS TEMPER.
HEY, HANK.
THAT GIRL’S
ASKING FOR YOU.
THANKS.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
WERE YOU LOOKING
FOR ME?
DETECTIVE RUSSELL?
YEAH.
I WAS AT THE JAMAICA
REC CENTER,
AND I SAW YOUR NAME
WAS ADDED ON
THE PHONE LIST.
YOU ALSO LOST
YOUR HUSBAND
OFF THE JOB?
YOUR HUSBAND...
GOT HIS HEART.
THANK YOU
FOR YOUR LETTER
AND THE BEAUTIFUL LETTER
YOUR HUSBAND WROTE.
AFTER BOBBY PASSED,
I WANTED TO WRITE YOU
AGAIN OR CALL YOU.
I WAITED TILL YOUR NAME
WAS ON THE PHONE LIST.
DID LINDA
GIVE YOU THE LIST?
YEAH. IT’S IN MY PURSE.
TOOK ME SEVERAL WEEKS
TO LOOK AT MINE.
ANYWAYS, I’M ON THERE.
THANKS. THANKS SO MUCH.
WHATEVER GOOD
IT MIGHT DO.
AND IF YOU DON’T CALL
FOR A WHILE,
DON’T FEEL THEN,
WHEN YOU WANNA CALL,
YOU CAN’T.
OK.
IT WAS A BLESSING
FOR ME, ALSO,
MY HUSBAND’S GIFT.
IT HELPED ME
TO UNDERSTAND.
HEY, DIANE.
HI.
GOIN’ OFF THE CHART
TODAY, HUH?
YEAH. I’M DOING
A 4:00‐TO‐12:00.
YOU MISSED
OUR JOINT EFFORT
WITH THE FBI TODAY.
VERY REASSURING
OUR FEDERAL
TAX DOLLARS
ARE BEING
WELL SPENT.
SO, HOW’S IT GOIN’?
OK.
NOT BEIN’ A WISE GUY.
NO, I KNOW.
I ACTUALLY CALLED YOU
THE OTHER NIGHT,
AFTER US WORKING
FOR JILL’S BOY.
JUST TO SAY I WAS GLAD
WE WORKED EFFECTIVELY,
ONE THING.
THAT WAS ACTUALLY IT.
AND THEN THE OTHER THING
WHY I CALLED‐‐
JAMES AND I
WERE HANGING AROUND
AFTER WE LEFT THE BAR,
AND JAMES WAS APPRAISING
THIS ARTWORK
HANGING IN THIS
ANTIQUE SHOP WINDOW,
DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT
HE WAS GONNA RELIEVE
HIMSELF IN PUBLIC.
AND I WAS THINKING
I’D CALL...
JUST TO SAY I HOPE
YOU’RE FEELING BETTER
DAY BY DAY,
KNOWIN’ IT’S NEVER
GONNA BE EASY.
TODAY WAS A BETTER DAY?
YEAH.
GOOD.
THANKS FOR ASKING.
GOOD NIGHT, DIANE.
GOOD NIGHT.
OF ALL THE EMPTY HANDS
TO PLAY‐‐
HOLDING GOD
OVER ASUNCION’S HEAD.
NO HARM TAKING A FLYER.
I HOPE HE SUFFERS,
THAT THE LEUKEMIA
DOESN’T TAKE HIM QUICKLY.
JUSTICE WITHOUT MERCY.
IT’S KIND OF
A LONG RIDE
FROM WHY I THOUGHT
I BECAME A LAWYER.
THOSE AREN’T YOUR
USUAL BELIEFS, SYLVIA.
THIS IS FRUSTRATION
AND DISCOURAGEMENT.
IT’S ME GOD’S GONNA JUDGE.
SYLVIA, YOU DIDN’T
DO NOTHIN’ WRONG.
HE’S GONNA JUDGE THAT
I DIDN’T TRY HARD ENOUGH
TO MAKE ANYTHING RIGHT.
AND YOU GOT SOME
INSIDE KNOWLEDGE
ON HIS OPINION?
WHY DON’T YOU HOLD OFF
TILL HE WEIGHS IN?
