[WATER RUNNING]
BOBBY?
Bobby: NO, RAMON.
HOW’D YOU SLEEP?
OK.
YOU’RE GOING TO LIE
TO A TRAINED DETECTIVE?
YOU KNOW, I’M‐‐
I’M WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
I’M DOING AS WELL
AS CAN BE EXPECTED.
NO. I KNOW.
YOU GOT TO BE
STRONG FOR ME.
ISN’T THAT WHAT
THEY’RE TELLING YOU?
YEAH. NO. ABSOLUTELY.
I’M DOING AS WELL
AS CAN BE EXPECTED.
CAN I COME IN WITH YOU?
I DON’T THINK THAT’S
WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED.
NO, I KNOW. I KNOW.
WE KNOW WE LOVE
EACH OTHER, RIGHT?
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
JUST SOME PARTS...
I’M ON MY OWN.
YEAH.
THIS FATN TRANSMISSION HAS
GONE OUT TO ALL COMMANDS.
"OFFICERS RESPONDING TO ANY
LIKELY‐TO‐DIE INCIDENTS
"INVOLVING OTHER THAN
NATURAL CAUSES,
"BE AWARE ONE OF OUR OWN IS
IN NEED OF A HEART TRANSPLANT.
"VICTIM SHOULD BE TRANSPORTED
TO THE NEAREST TRAUMA CENTER
FORTHWITH,
"AND AGGRESSIVE EFFORTS
SHOULD BE MADE TO CONTACT
THE NEXT OF KIN.
"I.V. DRUG USERS
AREN’T CANDIDATES
"OR PEOPLE DEAD
MORE THAN AN HOUR
OR PEOPLE
SHOT IN THE CHEST."
ANYTHING ELSE?
NO.
I KNOW ALL OUR GOOD THOUGHTS
ARE WITH DETECTIVE SIMONE.
PRECINCT CONDITIONS‐‐
OFFICERS MARTELLI
AND SHANNON, ADAM SECTOR.
CHECK ALL ATMs.
WHAT HAVE WE GOT?
OLD LADY
HACKED TO PIECES.
YOU SHOULD
SEE IT IN THERE.
WHO FOUND HER?
SUPE. THAT GUY OVER THERE.
Sipowicz: WHAT’S HIS STORY?
HAD THE JOB 2 WEEKS.
SAYS HE DOESN’T KNOW
THE TENANTS REAL GOOD.
Sipowicz: HE HURRY
TO TELL YOU THAT?
DON’T SEEM LIKE
HE’S RUNNIN’ NOTHIN’.
COMES OFF MORE A MOPE.
HAVE HIM MOPE
IN THIS IMMEDIATE AREA
TILL WE COME BACK OUT.
PUT YOUR HAT BACK ON.
ANDY, IT’S, UH,
REALLY BAD IN THERE.
OH, GOD.
GOD, LOOK AT THIS.
THAT’S HER FOOT.
OH, HERE’S BOTH
HER FEET HERE.
YOU’RE GONNA FIND
HER HANDS, TOO.
I GOT ONE.
I WANT TO MEET THE SON
OF A BITCH WHO DID THIS.
NO BROKEN FINGERS OR NAILS.
CAN ONLY HOPE HITTING HER
WITH A BAT CAME FIRST.
Martinez:
THE SON OF A BITCH.
SON OF A BITCH!
WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THAT?
HOW’D YOU COME
TO FIND HER?
BUILDING MANAGEMENT SAID
I HAD TO HAND‐DELIVER
A RENT NOTICE.
I’M SORRY AS HELL
I WENT IN THERE.
I’M SORRY
I TOOK THIS JOB!
WAS THERE ANYBODY STRANGE
IN THE PREMISES THIS MORNING?
NOT I’M AWARE OF.
DAYTIME IS
A CONSTANT RACKET.
THE CITY’S TEARING UP
THE SIDEWALK
THE LAST WEEK.
THEY WEREN’T DIGGING NOTHING
WHEN WE COME UP.
MY APARTMENT
IS ON THE STREET.
THAT’S
THE PREVALENT NOISE.
WHAT’S THE PREVALENT NOISE
IF NOBODY’S DIGGING
NOTHING UP?
I’M SAYING
THE STREET NOISE IS
THE PREVALENT NOISE.
WHO SHOULD WE TALK TO
ABOUT THIS WOMAN?
AS FAR AS I KNOW,
SHE WAS STRICTLY
A KEEP‐TO‐HERSELF.
DO YOU HAVE
THE WHO’S TO NOTIFY CARD?
YES, I WENT AND GOT IT.
WOULD YOU LIKE
TO GIVE IT TO ME?
OH, YES, OF COURSE.
HERE.
OWNS AN ELECTRONICS
STORE.
Medavoy:
SOME UNOPENED MAIL.
AND, UH, WE FOUND
HER SECOND HAND.
ALL RIGHT.
WE’RE DONE WITH YOU.
DO YOU THINK THERE’S
A MADMAN RUNNING LOOSE?
SHOULD I GET MYSELF
A HATCHET?
YEAH. SLEEP WITH IT
UNDER YOUR PILLOW.
Sipowicz: SOMETHING OUT
OF THE MANSON FAMILY.
CAVED THIS WOMAN’S HEAD IN,
CUT OFF HER HANDS AND FEET.
BLOOD ALL OVER THE WALLS.
WHO HAVE WE GOT
TO LOOK AT?
ARNOLD STRUEL, THE DOA’s
OLDEST SON’S COMING DOWN.
HE WAS THE WHOM TO CALL.
GOT SOME KIND
OF ELECTRONICS BUSINESS
2 BLOCKS FROM HERE.
WE ALSO FOUND
SOME UNOPENED MAIL
FOR A STANLEY STRUEL
FORWARDED FROM
A PREVIOUS RESIDENCE
OF THE DOA’s.
Medavoy: AND BCI
SHOWS A SKEL JUNKIE
STANLEY STRUEL
LISTED AT THAT
FORMER ADDRESS OF THE DOA’S
ON ONE OF HIS BAIL FORMS,
SO WE MAKE HIM A SON, TOO.
THE SUPER TALK
ABOUT EITHER
OF THE SONS?
NO.
NAH.
HEY, HE KNEW DICK,
THE SUPER.
’CAUSE ALONG WITH HIS
JANITORIAL OBLIGATIONS,
HE HAD A SECOND JOB
WALKING THROUGH LIFE
WITH HIS HEAD UP HIS ASS.
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
YEAH.
YEAH, WHAT IS IT,
DOLORES?
YEAH, OK. THANKS.
ARNOLD STRUEL’S
ON HIS WAY UP.
YOU THINK IT’S WORTH
CALLING AROUND,
FOLLOW UP ON THAT
FATN ANNOUNCEMENT
ON SIMONE?
I CHECKED WITH
ONE PP, ANDY.
ALL COMMANDS
CONFIRMED PROCEED.
FIRST‐GRADE DETECTIVE
DYING WITH HIS HEART
GIVING OUT,
I JUST DON’T KNOW
WHAT HARM IT WOULD DO.
I’LL MAKE SOME CALLS.
JUST IF YOU THINK
IT WOULD DO ANY GOOD.
Struel:
I GOT A BUSINESS TO RUN.
YEAH. WE APPRECIATE
YOUR COMING IN.
DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ.
ARNOLD STRUEL?
HOW’S IT GOING?
IS THAT WHAT YOU
CALLED ME HERE
TO ASK ME?
ARE WE TALKING
IN THE COFFEE ROOM?
YEAH, WE THOUGHT
WE’D TALK IN HERE.
WELL, LET’S JUST
TALK SOMEPLACE, ALL RIGHT?
I GOT A BUSINESS TO RUN.
WE GOT SOME BAD NEWS
ABOUT YOUR MOTHER.
OK.
SHE’S DEAD.
SOMEBODY KILLED HER.
AND?
AND HOW ABOUT
SHARING ANY IDEAS
WHO MIGHT HAVE DID IT?
HAVEN’T GOT ANY.
WHAT ELSE?
YOU KNOW YOUR MOTHER
WAS HACKED TO PIECES?
BOTH HER HANDS AND FEET
WERE CUT OFF.
HEY, PAL,
THIS TYPE VIOLENCE,
WE LOOK FOR SOME
SCREWED‐UP FAMILY MEMBER
GOT RAGE
TOWARDS THE VICTIM,
GOES AND DISMEMBERS
A 75‐YEAR‐OLD WOMAN.
I DIDN’T DO IT.
Martinez:
DID YOUR BROTHER KILL HER?
HE’S AN ALKIE
AND A JUNKIE.
THAT SEEMS LIKE
MORE ENERGY THAN
HE LIKES TO PUT OUT.
WHAT ELSE?
WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
NOTHIN’. WHAT’S
THE MATTER WITH YOU?
Medavoy: SO YOU
DON’T HAVE TO DO
WITH YOUR BROTHER?
NO.
AND THIS IS HIM?
YEAH.
AND AS FAR
AS YOU KNOW,
THIS WAS HIS
LAST ADDRESS.
FAR AS I KNOW.
ALL RIGHT. TAKE OFF.
I CAN GO?
YEAH, YOU CAN GO,
YOU SICK PIECE OF CRAP.
I WANT YOU TO GO,
SO IF I GET EVIDENCE,
I CAN COME FOR YOU
AT YOUR STORE
AND HUMILIATE YOU
AND DRAG YOU OUT
ON YOUR FACE.
WHAT A MISERABLE
SON OF A BITCH.
Medavoy:
IF HE DID IT,
HE DON’T CARE
BRINGING SUSPICION
ON HIMSELF.
HE DIDN’T DO IT.
[WOMAN CRYING]
[WEAKLY]
WHAT’S GOING ON
OUT THERE, BABY?
NOTHING.
I‐‐I DON’T KNOW.
I’M TERRIBLY SORRY.
GOOD MORNING.
MORNING, DOCTOR.
IT’S DR. SWAN, BOBBY.
HEY, DOC.
HOW YOU DOING?
I WISH I COULD TELL YOU
I WAS FEELING A LITTLE BETTER.
WELL, YOUR BIOPSY
RESULTS ARE BACK,
BUT THEY DON’T CLARIFY
THE DIAGNOSTIC PICTURE
VERY MUCH.
SO YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT
KIND OF INFECTION HE HAS?
NO. THE POINT
WE’RE AT NOW,
THE UNDERLYING IDEOLOGY
ISN’T REALLY
THAT RELEVANT.
WELL, THAT’S GOOD,
’CAUSE I DON’T EVEN
KNOW WHAT YOU’RE SAYING.
BEING UNABLE TO IDENTIFY
THE SPECIFIC AGENT
THAT DAMAGED YOUR HEART
DOESN’T CHANGE
THE FACT THAT
WE NEED TO OPERATE.
TREATING THE INFECTION
ISN’T GONNA HELP?
THERE YOU GO.
YOU MIGHT WANT
TO MAKE ROUNDS WITH ME
AND TRANSLATE WHAT
I SAY INTO ENGLISH.
IN OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES,
WE MIGHT TRY AND GET
SOME REGENERATION
OUT OF YOUR OWN
MYOCARDIUM,
GIVE YOU SOME TIME
ON AN LVAD IMPLANT.
THAT’S THE PUMP YOU’D PUT IN
IF YOU TOOK OUT
THE BALLOON PUMP
BOBBY’S ALREADY GOT.
RIGHT, BUT GIVEN
YOUR CLINICAL PICTURE
ON A RISK‐REWARD BASIS,
I DON’T THINK
THE LVAD IMPLANT
REALLY MAKES ANY SENSE.
BABY?
HUH?
MAY I HAVE
A LITTLE WATER, PLEASE?
PUTTING THAT DEVICE IN
IS A SEPARATE
MAJOR OPERATION,
AND SINCE I THINK THAT
WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO
GO TO TRANSPLANT ANYWAY,
I’D LIKE TO AVOID
PUTTING YOU THROUGH IT.
THAT’S UNLESS
YOUR BALLOON PUMP
STARTS CHEWING UP
YOUR BODY AND‐‐
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
CHEWING UP HIS BODY?
THAT’S A FIGURE
OF SPEECH.
COMPLICATIONS BECOME
MORE LIKELY AFTER
A BALLOON PUMP’S
BEEN IN PLACE
A FEW DAYS.
PATIENTS GET
ISCHEMIC LEGS‐‐
HEY, DOC.
YOU USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT.
MY WIFE AND I, UH,
WE DON’T REALLY NEED
TO HEAR ALL THE INS AND OUTS.
APPRECIATE THE VOTE
OF CONFIDENCE.
ON THE PLUS SIDE,
YOU ARE THIRD NOW
FOR TRANSPLANT
ON THE REGIONAL LIST.
I MOVED UP A NOTCH, HUH?
SO, DR. CARRERAS
ISN’T GOING TO BE
COMING BACK IN?
DR. CARRERAS GOT
ROTATED TO BELLEVUE, BABY.
SO HE CAN’T
COME IN AT ALL?
EVEN IF HE HADN’T
ROTATED OUT,
DR. CARRERAS IS PART
OF THE MEDICAL STAFF.
YOU’VE BEEN TRANSFERRED
OVER TO SURGICAL
SERVICE.
DO YOU HAVE
ANY PROBLEMS WITH
MY SURGICAL RESIDENTS?
NO. NO. I‐‐WE JUST
LIKE DR. CARRERAS.
I THINK I TOLD YOU THIS
LAST NIGHT,
BUT THIS WAITING PERIOD
IS PROBABLY THE MOST
DIFFICULT PART.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME,
BOBBY IS DOING AS WELL
AS CAN BE EXPECTED.
YEAH, THAT’S WHAT
YOU TOLD US LAST NIGHT.
MAYBE I’LL CALL
THE SQUAD, BOBBY,
LET THEM KNOW
THAT YOU’RE UP
ON THE LIST.
YEAH. GOOD.
YOU THINK
THAT’S BUILDING
THEIR HOPES UP TOO MUCH?
[WHEEZING]
MAYBE I’LL WAIT‐‐
MAYBE I’LL WAIT
AND CALL LATER.
SUPER SAYS
HE STILL LIVES THERE.
WHATEVER SICK BASTARD IT IS
MURDERED THIS WOMAN,
IF HE BEATS
A LETHAL INJECTION,
WHAT ODDS DO YOU WANT
HIS HEART WILL PROBABLY
BEAT LIKE A DRUM
UNTIL HE’S 90?
DON’T TALK ABOUT IT,
MEDAVOY.
I‐‐I WAS MAKING
A GENERAL OBSERVATION.
I WASN’T TALKING ABOUT
BOBBY’S SITUATION
IN PARTICULAR.
WELL, DON’T
TALK ABOUT IT
IN NO KIND OF WAY,
GENERAL
OR PARTICULAR.
NOTHIN’ ABOUT
NO HEART.
THIS IS HIM.
DENIM JACKET.
ALL RIGHT.
HERE WE GO.
THE MOPE
IN THE DENIM JACKET.
STANLEY STRUEL?
WHO?
STANLEY STRUEL,
LIKE IN THE PICTURE.
OH, YEAH,
THAT’S ME.
GOT ANY NEEDLES
ON YOU?
NO.
IF I POKE MYSELF,
YOU’RE GONNA GET
YOUR NECK SNAPPED
IN HALF.
I DON’T GOT NO NEEDLES.
OH, GOD.
THAT’S ALCOHOL
ON MY BREATH.
THAT’S ’CAUSE I’VE
BEEN DRINKING TODAY.
GARTH BROOKS.
ALL THE SAME CD.
WHAT HAPPENED?
DID I BUY ALL
THE SAME RECORDS?
ALL RIGHT.
YOU’RE GONNA GO
SIT IN THE CAR
AND KEEP
YOUR MOUTH SHUT.
ALL RIGHT.
I’M ADVISED OF MY RIGHTS.
DID YOU HEAR
WHAT I SAID?
IT’S BAD WHEN
THERE’S BLOOD IN IT.
YOU EVER TRY
EATING FOOD?
WHEN I SHOOT DOPE.
WHEN I BINGE DRINK,
I DON’T EAT.
I GOT SICK.
I THREW UP
WITH BLOOD IN IT.
YOU GOT SOME GUM?
HERE. USE SOME GUM.
HEY, COULD YOU
DO ME A FAVOR
AND GET ME A PIECE
OUTTA THERE?
MY HAND CONTROL’S GONE,
YOU KNOW?
IF YOU LET GO
OF MY ARM, I COULD.
I UNDERSTAND.
HEY, I TELL YOU,
IF I DIDN’T PAY
FOR THOSE CDs,
I MEAN, DON’T BUZZERS
GO OFF OR SOMETHING?
YOUR MOTHER’S DEAD.
SHE WAS KILLED.
MOM?
YEAH, MOM.
DID YOU KILL HER?
UH, LISTEN, LISTEN.
LISTEN, MY MOM AND I
DIDN’T GET ALONG,
BUT‐‐BUT KILLING MY MOM?
I MEAN, BELIEVE ME,
WE DIDN’T GET ALONG,
BUT‐‐
BUT SHE‐‐SHE WAS KILLED?
YEAH, AND THIS IS
HOW THEY DID IT.
OH, MY GOD.
[GAGS]
YOU THROW UP IN HERE,
AND I’LL KNOCK OUT
EVERY TOOTH
YOU GOT LEFT.
LISTEN, MY MOM,
SHE WAS A ROTTEN BITCH.
THE ONLY PERSON
I EVER HEARD SHE LIKED
WAS THAT EVANGELIST,
YOU KNOW, THE ONE
WITH THE DOPEY COMB‐OVER.
BENNY HIN?
YEAH,
WHATEVER HIS NAME IS,
BUT NO ONE
DESERVES THIS.
SHE’S MISSING
BOTH HER FEET!
THE MURDERER
CUT HER HANDS OFF TOO.
OH, MY GOD.
HE CUT HER HANDS OFF.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU BLACKOUT DRUNK.
ME? THERE AIN’T
A BLACKOUT IN THE WORLD
THAT WOULD MAKE ME
CUT HER APART LIKE THAT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM?
WHAT ABOUT YOUR BROTHER?
HE AIN’T
A BLACKOUT DRINKER.
Medavoy:
WHAT HE’S ASKING‐‐
DO YOU THINK
YOUR BROTHER
COULD’VE DONE THIS
TO YOUR MOM?
NO‐‐NO.
MY BROTHER‐‐
HAS ATTITUDE WITH ME.
I DON’T SEE HIM MUCH
ANYMORE,
BUT NO!
NO, I CAN’T IMAGINE
ARNIE WOULD DO
SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
WELL, SOMEBODY DID IT.
YEAH, BUT IT WASN’T ME,
AND I DON’T BELIEVE
THAT IT WAS MY BROTHER.
DAMN!
I’M SORRY.
YOU DIRTY BASTARD!
I WAS PROJECTILE VOMITING.
YOU SEE THE BLOOD IN THERE?
Martinez:
THAT HE DIDN’T
FRACTURE YOUR SKULL,
YOU ARE THE LUCKIEST
DRUNK IN AMERICA.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, ANDY?
WILL YOU
LEAVE ME ALONE?
SURE.
WILL YOU LEAVE ME ALONE,
MARTINEZ?
SURE, ANDY.
[CRYING]
OH, GOD.
PLEASE DON’T LET HIM DIE.
[KNOCKING]
HELLO, COME ON IN!
DON’T BE SHY AROUND
YOUR OWN COOP.
HEY, PATS.
I APPRECIATE YOU
LOOKING AFTER
MY BIRDS.
WHAT, ARE YOU KIDDING?
SCRAPING THE FLOORS?
CLEANING THE NEST BALLS?
NOTHING CLEARS
MY HEAD BETTER.
NOW, THIS IS TRUE.
THIS IS MY PLEASURE
FOR YOU.
LOOK, YOU’RE NOT
ABLE TO DO IT,
AND THAT’S JUST
THE WAY IT IS.
YEAH.
I’VE BEEN TEACHING YOU BIRDS
SINCE YOU’RE 8 YEARS OLD,
AND THAT’S A LESSON
I’M PREPARED
TO INSTRUCT YOU.
YOU’RE GONNA TEACH ME
NOT TO TAKE CARE
OF MY BIRDS?
ASK YOUR
WISENHEIMER QUESTIONS.
HAS ANYONE TOOK CARE
OF THESE BIRDS
IN 5,000 YEARS?
YOU EVER SEEN
A 5,000‐YEAR BIRD?
IF I SLEPT
IN THIS COOP,
WOULD THAT MAKE
ANY SENSE?
I’D WALK OUT
WITH BIRD CRAP
IN MY HAIR.
LISTEN, YOU TAKE
CARE OF YOUR BIRDS
A PERIOD OF TIME.
YOU ENJOY
CLEARING YOUR HEAD
A PERIOD OF TIME.
I GOT DIANE.
I GOT MY JOB
AS A DETECTIVE.
YOU GOT
YOUR GROWN‐UP JOB.
YOU GOT YOUR
GROWN‐UP BEING IN LOVE.
ALL THESE THINGS
CLEAR YOUR HEAD
A PERIOD OF TIME.
AND THIS IS IT.
YOU’RE GLAD THIS COOP’S
MAINTAINED. AM I RIGHT?
YEAH.
I’M GLAD
FOR THE BIRDS.
THAT’S A FURTHER POINT.
NOW, LET ME
CLEAR MY HEAD
AND FEED THESE BIRDS.
PATSY, CAN I COME BACK
IF I’M FEELING BETTER?
YOU KNOW BETTER
THAN THAT.
DON’T EVER ASK THAT
PERMISSION AGAIN!
SO I CAN
COME BACK?
WHAT DID I JUST
SAY TO YOU?
I’M COMING BACK.
THAT’S THE PROPER TONE!
[COUGHING]
[WHEEZING]
BECAUSE I NEED TO KEEP
MY FRIEND COMPANY
UNTIL I GO TO WORK.
WELL, TELL FRANK
MOM’S A BIG BOOGER, OK?
AND YOU’LL EACH WAKE UP
TOMORROW MORNING
WITH 2 KISSES MORE
IN YOUR KISS ACCOUNTS
THAN WHEN
YOU WENT TO SLEEP.
ALL RIGHT? BYE, BABY.
I LOVE YOU.
HOW ARE THE BOYS?
THEY’RE FINE.
BOBBY’S RESTING?
YEAH.
WELL...
I HOPE HE’S NOT GETTING
TOO SICK BEFORE THEY OPERATE.
HE’S LYING THERE,
AND HE CAN’T BREATHE.
DO YOU WANT TO TALK
TO HIS DOCTOR?
OH, NO. HE’LL JUST TELL ME
WE HAVE TO PLAY
A WAITING GAME.
THIS DR. SWAN?
I MEAN, I JUST‐‐I’M AFRAID
HE’S GONNA DIE RIGHT NOW.
THEY’RE KEEPING
GOOD CARE OF HIM,
DIANE.
I KNOW. I KNOW.
I JUST DON’T KNOW
IF THEY ARE.
DO YOUR
4:00 TO 12:00, JILL.
THERE’S A RUMOR
I CAN SHOW UP
A LITTLE LATE.
REALLY, REALLY,
I’D JUST AS SOON
BE BY MYSELF.
OK. I’LL, UH,
I’LL STOP HOME
BEFORE I GO IN.
OK.
OH, THANK GOD.
WHAT IS IT?
HERE’S DR. CARRERAS,
LIKE GOD SENT HIM.
HI.
I’M WORRIED
ABOUT BOBBY, DOCTOR.
I KNOW YOU’RE OFF
THIS ROTATION,
BUT COULD YOU GO IN
AND LOOK AT HIM?
I STOPPED BY
TO SEE HIM.
I’M WORRIED
HE’S NOT DOING WELL,
AND I KNOW WE HAVE TO PLAY
THIS WAITING GAME.
LET ME LOOK IN ON HIM,
AND THEN I’LL COME BACK
AND TALK TO YOU.
OK.
I’LL WAIT RIGHT HERE.
OK, SURE.
I’LL BE RIGHT HERE.
ARE YOU SURE
YOU DON’T WANT ME
TO STAY WITH YOU, DIANE?
NO. THAT’S LIKE
AN ANSWERED PRAYER.
DR. CARRERAS
DOESN’T TALK DOWN.
GO AHEAD, JILL.
I‐‐I‐‐I WAS AFRAID
HE WAS DYING,
BUT I THINK
HE’S GONNA BE BETTER NOW.
REALLY, REALLY, GO.
JUST...GO.
OK.
BOBBY?
HEY, DOC.
NICE COAT.
HOW YOU DOIN’?
THEY’LL OPERATE SOON,
AND YOU’RE GONNA FEEL
A LOT BETTER.
TELL ’EM DON’T WASTE TIME
TIDYING UP.
SORRY?
NOTHING.
I DON’T HEAR WELL
OUT OF MY LEFT EAR.
UH...
I WAS JUST SAYING...
DON’T WASTE TIME
PRETTYING UP
THE OPERATING ROOM
BEFORE THEY OPERATE.
I WAS JUST BEING...
FUNNY.
DON’T GIVE UP HOPE,
BOBBY.
NO, DOC.
NO, NO.
IS HE ALL RIGHT?
WHO ARE WE
TALKING ABOUT?
HI.
JILL LEAVE?
SHE’S SEEING HER BOYS,
THEN SHE’S GONNA DO
A 4:00 TO 12:00.
I’LL BE RIGHT OUTSIDE.
DO YOU FEEL HE’S GETTING
SO MUCH WEAKER?
IF A HEART DOESN’T
BECOME AVAILABLE
FOR BOBBY,
THE DOCTORS WANT
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT
THE LEFT VENTRICULAR
DEVICE TO BUY US
MORE TIME.
BUT HE DIDN’T THINK
THAT DEVICE
WOULD HELP BOBBY
UNLESS THE BALLOON PUMP
STARTED CHEWING UP HIS BODY.
AT ANY RATE,
OUR BEST BET
IS TO TRANSPLANT.
AND I WAS GLAD TO HEAR
THAT BOBBY’S MOVED UP
TO THIRD ON THE LIST.
I THINK THAT’S ’CAUSE
THE PATIENT NEXT DOOR DIED
BEFORE HE COULD GET
HIS TRANSPLANT.
BUT YOU LIKE DR. SWAN.
HE’S A TOP, TOP SURGEON.
THAT’S WHAT’S IMPORTANT.
I MEAN, LIKING HIM
ISN’T REALLY IMPORTANT.
YOU’VE GOT
TO HOLD ON NOW.
I’M GONNA HOLD ON.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR STOPPING.
I’M PRAYING FOR YOU.
YOU’RE AN ANSWERED PRAYER
WHEN I SAW YOU.
I WAS‐‐I WAS SO AFRAID
I WAS LOSING BOBBY.
I’LL TALK TO YOU
LATER.
PUT THE TV ON, BABY.
IT’S OK.
NO, GO AHEAD.
PUT IT ON.
[TV PROGRAM PLAYING]
WE DON’T KNOW
DID HE DO IT OR NOT.
WE HAD TO STOP TALKING
A LITTLE WHILE
SO I COULD CLEAN OFF
THE BLOODY PUKE THAT
HE THREW UP ALL OVER ME.
WHEN DID YOU
GET SO CURIOUS?
EXCUSE ME INTERRUPTING,
MR. STRUEL,
BUT I GIVE WHAT I GET.
SO EVEN SAYING NOW
THAT YOU’D APPRECIATE
KNOWING,
I’M NOT INCLINED
TO OFFER YOU NO GUESSES
WHERE YOUR BROTHER
STANDS.
OH, I’M TERRIFIED.
HEY, HEY, HURRY OVER.
SPARE SOME IMMIGRANTS
GETTING CHEATED ON
IN YOUR STORE.
OH, AND MR. STRUEL,
WHEN YOU GET HERE,
IF SOMEONE CLAIMING
TO BE ME TELLS YOU
TO KISS HIS ASS,
THAT’S GONNA BE
AN IMPOSTOR
BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE
AGAINST MY OBLIGATION
AS A NEW YORK CITY
POLICE OFFICER.
LOOKED TO PISS HIM OFF
SO HE CAN COME BACK IN.
SO, YOU’RE GOING BACK
AT THE SKEL BROTHER?
YEAH, RIGHT NOW.
YOU GOTTA CATCH A TRAIN?
HEY, I FEEL LIKE HELL
FOR PUKIN’ ON YA.
DON’T TALK ABOUT THAT.
SIT.
I’M SORRY.
SIT DOWN.
LISTEN TO ME, STANLEY.
I’M CONVINCED
YOU’RE MOPE ENOUGH
NOT TO HAVE THIS IN YOU.
WHAT I WANNA KNOW NOW,
IN YOUR SKEL
PISSIN’ AND MOANIN’
IN THE BARS EVERY DAY,
WOULD YOU GO ON
HOW YOUR MOTHER
HAD A FEW DOLLARS
AND DECENT THINGS
IN HER APARTMENT?
ARE YOU SAYIN’ THAT
I’D FINGER MY OWN MOTHER
IN A ROBBERY?
I’M SAYIN’ WHEN YOU’D
SING YOUR CRYBABY SONG
HOW THE WHOLE WORLD
GIVES STANLEY
NOTHIN’ BUT A BUM DEAL
HIS WHOLE POOR,
MISERABLE LIFE,
WOULD YOU SOMETIMES
INCLUDE IN THE CHORUS,
"AND MY MOTHER,
WHO LIVES BY HERSELF
AT 780 HOUSTON STREET,
"WITH HER
COMFORTABLE INCOME
"AND HER STEALABLE
APPLIANCES,
DON’T TAKE CARE OF ME"?
NO. NEVER.
I TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
MY MOTHER CHANGED APARTMENTS
3 YEARS AGO
AND HID FROM ME
WHERE SHE MOVED.
SHE WAS ON
HOUSTON STREET?
Struel: YOU GOT
MY BROTHER IN THERE?
EXCUSE ME.
HEY, ARNOLD,
I DIDN’T DO IT, ARNIE!
SIT, SIT.
SOMETHING
I CAN DO FOR YOU?
YEAH. TELL ME HOW
THE FRAME JOB’S GOING
ON MY LOSER BROTHER.
OH, NOW
IT’S A FRAME JOB.
HE STILL SAYING
HE DIDN’T DO IT.
YOU MUST NOT HAVE BROKE OUT
THE BRASS KNUCKLES YET.
WE SENT FOR THEM,
THE THUMBSCREWS.
LATER ON, WE’RE GONNA
PUT HIM ON THE RACK.
ARE YOU STUPID,
OR YOU JUST DON’T CARE
WHO YOU PIN THESE THINGS ON?
WHY IS IT YOU NEED
A PIECE OF ME,
STRUEL, HUH?
’CAUSE I PROMISE YOU,
YOU’RE GONNA BE SORRY.
YOU JUST GAVE UP
YOUR FREEDOM, ARNOLD.
YEAH? I JUST CLEANED
YOUR CLOCK, OLD MAN!
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
REMEMBERING
WHAT YOU WERE LIKE
BEFORE YOU GOT OLD.
I GOT HIM,
I GOT HIM.
SON OF A BITCH!
I GOT HIM!
HERE, HERE.
ALL RIGHT,
COME ON, ARNOLD.
LET’S YOU AND ME
GO SOMEPLACE
AND FIGURE YOU OUT.
SO LET ME ASK YOU,
ARNOLD.
YOU WANNA DUKE A LITTLE
BEFORE WE CHAT?
MY BROTHER DIDN’T DO THIS.
I’LL TELL YOU, YOU GOT
HALF A DECENT PUNCH.
SQUARE OFF AGAINST
A 75‐YEAR‐OLD WOMAN,
I’LL BET YOU’RE
A REGULAR TERROR.
I DIDN’T KILL HER,
EITHER.
OH, I SEE. YOU WANNA
USE A HAMMER AND
HACKSAW FOR BACKUP.
I MEAN, I MADE HER
ABOUT 105 POUNDS,
SAW SHE HAD
A WALKER OVER THERE
IN THE CORNER.
I DIDN’T KILL HER!
NOW, WE CAN DO THIS
AS LONG AS YOU WANT,
ARNOLD.
YOU CATCH YOUR BREATH,
YOU COME AT ME AGAIN,
I’LL SHOW YOU
VARIOUS WAYS
A FAT OLD MAN
CAN BEAT YOUR BALLS OFF.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
WE’RE BUSY!
Medavoy: I NEED
TO TALK TO YOU.
ABOUT WHAT?
CONCERNING SOMETHING
RELEVANT.
SIMONE?
UH, NO.
NO, BUT...
CONCERNING
THIS ELDERLY DOA.
DELORES HAS SOMETHING
SHE WANTS TO SAY TO YOU.
THE M.E. SAID
BESIDES BEING BEATEN
AND MUTILATED,
DOROTHY STRUEL
WAS ALSO SHOT
IN THE HEAD
WITH A 25‐CALIBER
WEAPON.
OH, THAT MAKES IT
EVEN MORE HEINOUS.
THEY REALIZED IT DOING
THE AUTOPSY X‐RAYS.
THEY EXTRACTED
A 25‐CALIBER BULLET.
YOU MADE HIM
RUN INTERFERENCE
TO TELL ME THAT?
ALSO, THE LICENSE BUREAU
CALLED 45 MINUTES AGO
ON YOUR SEARCH REQUEST
ON THE STRUEL BROTHERS.
STANLEY STRUEL HAS
NO WEAPONS REGISTERED.
ARNOLD STRUEL HAS
A PREMISES PERMIT
FOR A 25.
45 MINUTES AGO.
SORRY.
THAT’S ALL RIGHT.
EVERYBODY’S BEEN UNDER
A LOT OF PRESSURE.
WELL‐PUT, ANDY.
KNOWLEDGE
OF THE PRESSURE
CAUSED THE MISTAKE.
MAYBE THE WEAPON’S
A NEW ANGLE TO GO
ON THE GUY WITH.
THAT’S KIRKENDALL
BACK FROM THE HOSPITAL.
I’D MAKE HER COMING IN
TO DO A 4:00 TO 12:00
A GOOD SIGN.
GO SPEAK WITH HER AND REPORT
HER ACTUAL IMPRESSIONS.
LET ME KNOW.
OK, NOW, WE DID IT
AGAIN, HUH?
IT TURNS OUT
THAT YOUR MOTHER
WAS ALSO SHOT
IN THE HEAD, ARNOLD.
SHE WAS SHOT WITH
A 25‐CALIBER WEAPON,
WHICH YOU GOT ONE OF
REGISTERED IN YOUR NAME.
HOW SCREWED UP I AM?
I KEEP MY OPINION THAT
YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
BUT YOU DIDN’T DO THIS
YOURSELF.
ON THE OTHER HAND,
YOU WANT ME TO GO AHEAD
AND PIN THIS ON YOU,
I’D BE HAPPY TO.
THEN PIN IT ON ME!
AS OPPOSED
TO YOUR BROTHER?
YEAH, AS OPPOSED
TO MY BROTHER.
YOU WANT TO PIN IT
ON BOTH OF US?
DID YOU KILL
YOUR MOTHER?
MY MOTHER KILLED HERSELF.
BEFORE SHE HACKED HER
OWN HANDS AND FEET OFF
OR AFTER?
I HACKED HER HANDS
AND FEET OFF.
AND YOU BRAINED HER
WITH A BALL BAT.
AND I BRAINED HER
WITH A BALL BAT.
BUT YOU DIDN’T
SHOOT HER.
SHE SHOT HERSELF!
SHE CALLED ME DRUNK...
LIKE SHE WAS EVERY DAY,
TO TELL ME LIKE SHE DID
EVERY DAY
THAT SHE WAS GONNA DO IT.
SHE WAS GONNA USE MY GUN
SHE’D ASKED ME TO GIVE HER
TO PROTECT HERSELF.
SHE’D WAIT TO SEE ME
COMING UP THE STREET
TO TRY TO STOP HER,
AND THEN SHE’D
SHOOT HERSELF IN THE HEAD
SO HER INSURANCE POLICY
SHE TOOK OUT 6 MONTHS AGO
WOULDN’T PAY OFF
FOR ME OR MY BROTHER.
YOU GET THERE,
FIND HER DEAD,
AND YOU TAKE
THE IMPLEMENTS TO HER?
DON’T TELL ME I DID IT
FOR INSURANCE.
I DIDN’T TAKE
10 CENTS FROM HER
SINCE I WAS 14 YEARS OLD!
I PAID HER RENT,
I MOVED HER SO MY BROTHER
WOULDN’T ROB FROM HER.
SHE’D HAVE SLEPT
IN THE STREET.
SHE WAS A MISERABLE,
RUMMY DRUNK,
ONLY LIVED TO HURT
PEOPLE’S FEELINGS,
CALLING THAT
SHE’LL WAIT FOR ME
TO COME UP THE STREET,
WANTS ME TO HEAR
THE GUNSHOT.
I CUT HER UP!
I BEAT HER HEAD IN
WHERE SHE SHOT HERSELF
IN THE BRAIN!
I HAVE BEEN BEAT
BY BETTER THAN YOU!
I WAS BEAT PRETTY GOOD
AND PLENTY PEOPLE BEAT ME!
ALL RIGHT, STRUEL.
ALL RIGHT, SIT THERE,
PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER.
DID HE PASS?
HE’S FAILING,
DETECTIVE KIRKENDALL
SAID.
WHY DON’T THEY
DO SOMETHING?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
GONNA APPRISE ME.
AND SAY WHAT, ANDY?
HE’S FAILING, JILL SAID.
AND THEY
DON’T GOT A HEART.
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
I GOT NOTHING, ANDY.
WHAT IS IT, MEDAVOY?
UH...
WHEN YOU’RE DONE
WITH THIS ONE, ANDY,
WILL YOU BE GOING BACK
AT THE SKEL BROTHER AGAIN,
OR SHOULD WE PUT HIM
IN THE SYSTEM FOR
THE BOOSTED CDs?
I DON’T KNOW.
WAS IT PRODUCTIVE AT ALL,
THE NEW INFORMATION
ABOUT THE GUN?
I DON’T KNOW YET,
MEDAVOY.
LETTING THIS ONE TAKE IT OUT
ON THE FURNITURE A WHILE,
LAY AROUND
HIS MISERABLE NATURE?
OH, MY GOD.
COME ON, STRUEL.
COME ON, STRUEL.
COME ON, STRUEL.
[COUGHING]
HE’S COMING AROUND,
ANDY.
I COULD’VE HELPED HIM.
I COULD’VE HELPED HIM.
YOU DID, ANDY.
HE’S COMING AROUND.
I COULD’VE HELPED SIMONE.
IF THIS GUY DIED,
I COULD’VE HELPED SIMONE
GET HIS HEART.
THAT PRICK LIVES.
YOU KNOW,
LOOKIN’ BACK...
I’M SURPRISED
ANDY HELPED HIM.
I MEAN, NOT THAT
HE SHOULDN’T HAVE.
15th SQUAD.
UH‐HUH.
OK. HOLD ON
ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.
LIEUTENANT FANCY?
COMMUNICATIONS
IS ON THE PHONE,
LIEUTENANT.
THEY’VE GOT A COP SHOT
IN MIDTOWN SOUTH.
HE’S HIT IN THE HEAD.
THEY SAY A GRAZING WOUND?
THEY JUST SAID
SHOT IN THE HEAD.
THEY SAY GRAZING WOUND?
ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT.
DID THEY SAY
GRAZING WOUND?
NO.
AND THEY’RE NOT
ASKING FOR BLOOD.
I’M GOING TO BELLEVUE.
HEAD SHOT.
DON’T SAY GRAZING WOUND.
DON’T ASK FOR BLOOD.
THAT DON’T SOUND GOOD.
GOD’S WILL BE DONE.
THAT’S ALL YOU CAN SAY.
DID HE FILL OUT
A DONATION CARD?
I DON’T KNOW, ANDY.
I WASN’T ON
THE PHONE CALL.
ALIVE AND WELL.
ALIVE AND WELL,
JUST AS I PREDICTED.
BREATHING COMFORTABLY.
[KNOCKING]
I’M ART FANCY,
MRS. GILLIAM.
I’M A LIEUTENANT
ON THE JOB.
DO YOU KNOW TIM?
I KNOW ABOUT HIM.
I’M SO SORRY
ABOUT WHAT’S HAPPENED.
I WAS TELLING
MY MOTHER...
HE TRIED TO STOP
A ROBBERY.
HE WAS SHOPPING WITH ME
ON THE WAY HOME.
SHE’S WHEELCHAIR‐BOUND.
SHE’S IN MASSAPEQUA.
I COMMAND THE 15th SQUAD.
ONE OF MY DETECTIVES
HAS A HEART DISEASE.
HE NEEDS A TRANSPLANT
TO LIVE.
I ALREADY EXPLAINED.
THAT’S A DECISION
TIM WOULD MAKE.
I KNOW YOU SPOKE
WITH MISS CARPENTER
FROM THE ORGAN PROGRAM‐‐
TIM DIDN’T
FILL A CARD OUT,
AND THAT WILL BE
HIS DECISION.
WAS TIM AGAINST
ORGAN DONATION?
DID THE TWO OF YOU
EVER TALK ABOUT THAT?
BUT I CAN’T
MAKE THAT FOR HIM.
THOSE ARE THE TYPES
OF DECISIONS HE MAKES.
I SEE.
THEY SAID TIMMY
WOULDN’T FEEL ANY PAIN.
HOW DO THEY KNOW
WHAT HE FEELS?
I’M NOT A DOCTOR, EITHER,
BUT THE BEST I’VE HEARD IT
EXPLAINED,
IS WHEN THE BRAIN
CAN’T RECEIVE ELECTRICAL
IMPULSES ANY LONGER,
IT NO LONGER
REGISTERS PAIN.
AND THESE PEOPLE
YOU READ ABOUT
WAKING UP FROM COMAS?
I GUESS THIS IS SUPPOSED
TO BE DIFFERENT FROM THAT.
THAT’S WHAT THEY SAID.
THIS DETECTIVE IN MY PRECINCT’S
NAMED BOBBY SIMONE.
HE’S THE KIND OF COP
I THINK YOUR HUSBAND
WOULD HAVE ADMIRED.
TIMMY ALREADY
HAS 4 COMMENDATIONS.
HE’S ALSO A NEWLYWED.
HIS HEART’S BAD?
IF YOU SAID YOU WANTED
TO GIVE FIRST PRIORITY
TO A WORTHY COP,
MRS. GILLIAM,
THAT TYPE OF DIRECT
DONATION IS ALLOWED,
AND BOBBY COULD
GET HIS TRANSPLANT.
TIM MADE
THESE DECISIONS.
YOU HAVE TO
DO IT FOR HIM NOW.
WOULD THEY LET ME
SIT WITH HIM
A FEW MINUTES
BEFORE IT STARTED?
I’M SURE
YOU CAN DO THAT, YES.
NO. ABSOLUTELY.
THEY’RE ALL
RIGHT HERE.
ALL RIGHT, LIEU.
ALL RIGHT.
THANKS VERY MUCH.
TELL HIM GOOD JOB.
EVERYONE EXPRESSES
APPRECIATION.
MUCH AS I BREAK HIS BALLS.
I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH
YOU ALL HEARD.
UH, PERMISSIONS
WERE ALL SECURED.
THEY’RE GONNA HARVEST
THE POOR FELLA’S HEART
OVER AT BELLEVUE
AND THEN TRANSPORT IT
OVER TO WHERE BOBBY IS
AT NYU,
AND THEN, EVIDENTLY,
THE TRANSPLANT PROCEDURE
WILL BEGIN.
UM, IT WAS
A UNIFORMED COP
NAMED GILLIAM.
6 YEARS ON THE JOB.
ALL IN MIDTOWN SOUTH?
UH, I DON’T KNOW.
GOT A LINE ON THE GUYS
THAT DID IT?
YEAH. I DON’T KNOW.
I’M GONNA GO CALL
MIDTOWN SOUTH.
IF IT HAD TO HAPPEN,
ALL’S I CAN SAY...
I AM SO GLAD BOBBY’S
GONNA HAVE A SHOT.
WE CAUGHT A BREAK,
BOBBY.
YOU WENT FROM THIRD
TO FIRST.
WE GOT
A DIRECTED DONATION
FROM THE WIDOW
OF ANOTHER COP.
YOUR HUSBAND’S
GONNA GET A HEART.
WHEN?
WE’RE NOT GONNA
LET ANY GRASS GROW
UNDER OUR FEET.
WE’LL TAKE BOBBY INTO
THE OPERATING ROOM NOW,
GET HIM READY
FOR THE PROCEDURE,
AND AS SOON AS
THE ORGAN ARRIVES
FROM BELLEVUE,
WE’RE READY TO GO.
DID YOU HEAR
DR. SWAN, BOBBY?
SOUNDS LIKE WE’RE
GOING INTO ACTION.
Dr. Swan:
I’M GONNA GO
DOWNSTAIRS TO SCRUB.
DR. RUSSELL’S GONNA
GIVE YOU SOME VERCED
TO HELP YOU RELAX,
AND THEN
HE’LL ADMINISTER
YOUR ANESTHETIC
DOWNSTAIRS.
DOC...
COULD WE HOLD OFF ON
THE RELAXING MEDICATION
UNTIL I GET DOWNSTAIRS?
SURE. WE CAN DO THAT.
KEEPING MY EYES OPEN...
SO I CAN SEE MY GIRL.
BOBBY?
Bobby: NO, RAMON.
HOW’D YOU SLEEP?
OK.
YOU’RE GOING TO LIE
TO A TRAINED DETECTIVE?
YOU KNOW, I’M‐‐
I’M WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
I’M DOING AS WELL
AS CAN BE EXPECTED.
NO. I KNOW.
YOU GOT TO BE
STRONG FOR ME.
ISN’T THAT WHAT
THEY’RE TELLING YOU?
YEAH. NO. ABSOLUTELY.
I’M DOING AS WELL
AS CAN BE EXPECTED.
CAN I COME IN WITH YOU?
I DON’T THINK THAT’S
WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED.
NO, I KNOW. I KNOW.
WE KNOW WE LOVE
EACH OTHER, RIGHT?
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
JUST SOME PARTS...
I’M ON MY OWN.
YEAH.
THIS FATN TRANSMISSION HAS
GONE OUT TO ALL COMMANDS.
"OFFICERS RESPONDING TO ANY
LIKELY‐TO‐DIE INCIDENTS
"INVOLVING OTHER THAN
NATURAL CAUSES,
"BE AWARE ONE OF OUR OWN IS
IN NEED OF A HEART TRANSPLANT.
"VICTIM SHOULD BE TRANSPORTED

"I.V. DRUG USERS

ANYTHING ELSE?
NO.
I KNOW ALL OUR GOOD THOUGHTS
ARE WITH DETECTIVE SIMONE.
PRECINCT CONDITIONS‐‐
OFFICERS MARTELLI
AND SHANNON, ADAM SECTOR.
CHECK ALL ATMs.
WHAT HAVE WE GOT?
OLD LADY
HACKED TO PIECES.
YOU SHOULD
SEE IT IN THERE.
WHO FOUND HER?
SUPE. THAT GUY OVER THERE.
Sipowicz: WHAT’S HIS STORY?
HAD THE JOB 2 WEEKS.
SAYS HE DOESN’T KNOW
THE TENANTS REAL GOOD.
Sipowicz: HE HURRY
TO TELL YOU THAT?
DON’T SEEM LIKE
HE’S RUNNIN’ NOTHIN’.
COMES OFF MORE A MOPE.
HAVE HIM MOPE
IN THIS IMMEDIATE AREA
TILL WE COME BACK OUT.
PUT YOUR HAT BACK ON.
ANDY, IT’S, UH,
REALLY BAD IN THERE.
OH, GOD.
GOD, LOOK AT THIS.
THAT’S HER FOOT.
OH, HERE’S BOTH
HER FEET HERE.
YOU’RE GONNA FIND
HER HANDS, TOO.
I GOT ONE.
I WANT TO MEET THE SON
OF A BITCH WHO DID THIS.
NO BROKEN FINGERS OR NAILS.
CAN ONLY HOPE HITTING HER
WITH A BAT CAME FIRST.
Martinez:
THE SON OF A BITCH.
SON OF A BITCH!
WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THAT?
HOW’D YOU COME
TO FIND HER?
BUILDING MANAGEMENT SAID
I HAD TO HAND‐DELIVER
A RENT NOTICE.
I’M SORRY AS HELL
I WENT IN THERE.
I’M SORRY
I TOOK THIS JOB!
WAS THERE ANYBODY STRANGE
IN THE PREMISES THIS MORNING?
NOT I’M AWARE OF.
DAYTIME IS
A CONSTANT RACKET.
THE CITY’S TEARING UP
THE SIDEWALK
THE LAST WEEK.
THEY WEREN’T DIGGING NOTHING
WHEN WE COME UP.
MY APARTMENT
IS ON THE STREET.
THAT’S
THE PREVALENT NOISE.
WHAT’S THE PREVALENT NOISE
IF NOBODY’S DIGGING
NOTHING UP?
I’M SAYING
THE STREET NOISE IS
THE PREVALENT NOISE.
WHO SHOULD WE TALK TO
ABOUT THIS WOMAN?
AS FAR AS I KNOW,
SHE WAS STRICTLY
A KEEP‐TO‐HERSELF.
DO YOU HAVE
THE WHO’S TO NOTIFY CARD?
YES, I WENT AND GOT IT.
WOULD YOU LIKE
TO GIVE IT TO ME?
OH, YES, OF COURSE.
HERE.
OWNS AN ELECTRONICS
STORE.
Medavoy:
SOME UNOPENED MAIL.
AND, UH, WE FOUND
HER SECOND HAND.
ALL RIGHT.
WE’RE DONE WITH YOU.
DO YOU THINK THERE’S
A MADMAN RUNNING LOOSE?
SHOULD I GET MYSELF
A HATCHET?
YEAH. SLEEP WITH IT
UNDER YOUR PILLOW.
Sipowicz: SOMETHING OUT
OF THE MANSON FAMILY.
CAVED THIS WOMAN’S HEAD IN,
CUT OFF HER HANDS AND FEET.
BLOOD ALL OVER THE WALLS.
WHO HAVE WE GOT
TO LOOK AT?
ARNOLD STRUEL, THE DOA’s
OLDEST SON’S COMING DOWN.
HE WAS THE WHOM TO CALL.
GOT SOME KIND
OF ELECTRONICS BUSINESS
2 BLOCKS FROM HERE.
WE ALSO FOUND
SOME UNOPENED MAIL
FOR A STANLEY STRUEL
FORWARDED FROM
A PREVIOUS RESIDENCE
OF THE DOA’s.
Medavoy: AND BCI
SHOWS A SKEL JUNKIE
STANLEY STRUEL
LISTED AT THAT
FORMER ADDRESS OF THE DOA’S
ON ONE OF HIS BAIL FORMS,
SO WE MAKE HIM A SON, TOO.
THE SUPER TALK
ABOUT EITHER
OF THE SONS?
NO.
NAH.
HEY, HE KNEW DICK,
THE SUPER.
’CAUSE ALONG WITH HIS
JANITORIAL OBLIGATIONS,
HE HAD A SECOND JOB
WALKING THROUGH LIFE
WITH HIS HEAD UP HIS ASS.
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
YEAH.
YEAH, WHAT IS IT,
DOLORES?
YEAH, OK. THANKS.
ARNOLD STRUEL’S
ON HIS WAY UP.
YOU THINK IT’S WORTH
CALLING AROUND,
FOLLOW UP ON THAT
FATN ANNOUNCEMENT
ON SIMONE?
I CHECKED WITH
ONE PP, ANDY.
ALL COMMANDS
CONFIRMED PROCEED.
FIRST‐GRADE DETECTIVE
DYING WITH HIS HEART
GIVING OUT,
I JUST DON’T KNOW
WHAT HARM IT WOULD DO.
I’LL MAKE SOME CALLS.
JUST IF YOU THINK
IT WOULD DO ANY GOOD.
Struel:
I GOT A BUSINESS TO RUN.
YEAH. WE APPRECIATE
YOUR COMING IN.
DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ.
ARNOLD STRUEL?
HOW’S IT GOING?
IS THAT WHAT YOU
CALLED ME HERE
TO ASK ME?
ARE WE TALKING
IN THE COFFEE ROOM?
YEAH, WE THOUGHT
WE’D TALK IN HERE.
WELL, LET’S JUST
TALK SOMEPLACE, ALL RIGHT?
I GOT A BUSINESS TO RUN.
WE GOT SOME BAD NEWS
ABOUT YOUR MOTHER.
OK.
SHE’S DEAD.
SOMEBODY KILLED HER.
AND?
AND HOW ABOUT
SHARING ANY IDEAS
WHO MIGHT HAVE DID IT?
HAVEN’T GOT ANY.
WHAT ELSE?
YOU KNOW YOUR MOTHER
WAS HACKED TO PIECES?
BOTH HER HANDS AND FEET
WERE CUT OFF.
HEY, PAL,
THIS TYPE VIOLENCE,
WE LOOK FOR SOME
SCREWED‐UP FAMILY MEMBER
GOT RAGE
TOWARDS THE VICTIM,
GOES AND DISMEMBERS
A 75‐YEAR‐OLD WOMAN.
I DIDN’T DO IT.
Martinez:
DID YOUR BROTHER KILL HER?
HE’S AN ALKIE
AND A JUNKIE.
THAT SEEMS LIKE
MORE ENERGY THAN
HE LIKES TO PUT OUT.
WHAT ELSE?
WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
NOTHIN’. WHAT’S
THE MATTER WITH YOU?
Medavoy: SO YOU
DON’T HAVE TO DO
WITH YOUR BROTHER?
NO.
AND THIS IS HIM?
YEAH.
AND AS FAR
AS YOU KNOW,
THIS WAS HIS
LAST ADDRESS.
FAR AS I KNOW.
ALL RIGHT. TAKE OFF.
I CAN GO?
YEAH, YOU CAN GO,
YOU SICK PIECE OF CRAP.
I WANT YOU TO GO,
SO IF I GET EVIDENCE,
I CAN COME FOR YOU
AT YOUR STORE
AND HUMILIATE YOU
AND DRAG YOU OUT
ON YOUR FACE.
WHAT A MISERABLE
SON OF A BITCH.
Medavoy:
IF HE DID IT,
HE DON’T CARE
BRINGING SUSPICION
ON HIMSELF.
HE DIDN’T DO IT.
[WOMAN CRYING]
[WEAKLY]
WHAT’S GOING ON
OUT THERE, BABY?
NOTHING.
I‐‐I DON’T KNOW.
I’M TERRIBLY SORRY.
GOOD MORNING.
MORNING, DOCTOR.
IT’S DR. SWAN, BOBBY.
HEY, DOC.
HOW YOU DOING?
I WISH I COULD TELL YOU
I WAS FEELING A LITTLE BETTER.
WELL, YOUR BIOPSY
RESULTS ARE BACK,
BUT THEY DON’T CLARIFY
THE DIAGNOSTIC PICTURE
VERY MUCH.
SO YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT
KIND OF INFECTION HE HAS?
NO. THE POINT
WE’RE AT NOW,
THE UNDERLYING IDEOLOGY
ISN’T REALLY
THAT RELEVANT.
WELL, THAT’S GOOD,
’CAUSE I DON’T EVEN
KNOW WHAT YOU’RE SAYING.
BEING UNABLE TO IDENTIFY
THE SPECIFIC AGENT
THAT DAMAGED YOUR HEART
DOESN’T CHANGE
THE FACT THAT
WE NEED TO OPERATE.
TREATING THE INFECTION
ISN’T GONNA HELP?
THERE YOU GO.
YOU MIGHT WANT
TO MAKE ROUNDS WITH ME
AND TRANSLATE WHAT
I SAY INTO ENGLISH.
IN OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES,
WE MIGHT TRY AND GET
SOME REGENERATION
OUT OF YOUR OWN
MYOCARDIUM,
GIVE YOU SOME TIME
ON AN LVAD IMPLANT.
THAT’S THE PUMP YOU’D PUT IN
IF YOU TOOK OUT
THE BALLOON PUMP
BOBBY’S ALREADY GOT.
RIGHT, BUT GIVEN
YOUR CLINICAL PICTURE
ON A RISK‐REWARD BASIS,
I DON’T THINK
THE LVAD IMPLANT
REALLY MAKES ANY SENSE.
BABY?
HUH?
MAY I HAVE
A LITTLE WATER, PLEASE?
PUTTING THAT DEVICE IN
IS A SEPARATE
MAJOR OPERATION,
AND SINCE I THINK THAT
WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO
GO TO TRANSPLANT ANYWAY,
I’D LIKE TO AVOID
PUTTING YOU THROUGH IT.
THAT’S UNLESS
YOUR BALLOON PUMP
STARTS CHEWING UP
YOUR BODY AND‐‐
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
CHEWING UP HIS BODY?
THAT’S A FIGURE
OF SPEECH.
COMPLICATIONS BECOME
MORE LIKELY AFTER
A BALLOON PUMP’S
BEEN IN PLACE
A FEW DAYS.
PATIENTS GET
ISCHEMIC LEGS‐‐
HEY, DOC.
YOU USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT.
MY WIFE AND I, UH,
WE DON’T REALLY NEED
TO HEAR ALL THE INS AND OUTS.
APPRECIATE THE VOTE
OF CONFIDENCE.
ON THE PLUS SIDE,
YOU ARE THIRD NOW
FOR TRANSPLANT
ON THE REGIONAL LIST.
I MOVED UP A NOTCH, HUH?
SO, DR. CARRERAS
ISN’T GOING TO BE
COMING BACK IN?
DR. CARRERAS GOT
ROTATED TO BELLEVUE, BABY.
SO HE CAN’T
COME IN AT ALL?
EVEN IF HE HADN’T
ROTATED OUT,
DR. CARRERAS IS PART
OF THE MEDICAL STAFF.
YOU’VE BEEN TRANSFERRED
OVER TO SURGICAL
SERVICE.
DO YOU HAVE
ANY PROBLEMS WITH
MY SURGICAL RESIDENTS?
NO. NO. I‐‐WE JUST
LIKE DR. CARRERAS.
I THINK I TOLD YOU THIS
LAST NIGHT,
BUT THIS WAITING PERIOD
IS PROBABLY THE MOST
DIFFICULT PART.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME,
BOBBY IS DOING AS WELL
AS CAN BE EXPECTED.
YEAH, THAT’S WHAT
YOU TOLD US LAST NIGHT.
MAYBE I’LL CALL
THE SQUAD, BOBBY,
LET THEM KNOW
THAT YOU’RE UP
ON THE LIST.
YEAH. GOOD.
YOU THINK
THAT’S BUILDING
THEIR HOPES UP TOO MUCH?
[WHEEZING]
MAYBE I’LL WAIT‐‐
MAYBE I’LL WAIT
AND CALL LATER.
SUPER SAYS
HE STILL LIVES THERE.
WHATEVER SICK BASTARD IT IS
MURDERED THIS WOMAN,
IF HE BEATS
A LETHAL INJECTION,
WHAT ODDS DO YOU WANT
HIS HEART WILL PROBABLY
BEAT LIKE A DRUM
UNTIL HE’S 90?
DON’T TALK ABOUT IT,
MEDAVOY.
I‐‐I WAS MAKING
A GENERAL OBSERVATION.
I WASN’T TALKING ABOUT
BOBBY’S SITUATION
IN PARTICULAR.
WELL, DON’T
TALK ABOUT IT
IN NO KIND OF WAY,
GENERAL
OR PARTICULAR.
NOTHIN’ ABOUT
NO HEART.
THIS IS HIM.
DENIM JACKET.
ALL RIGHT.
HERE WE GO.
THE MOPE
IN THE DENIM JACKET.
STANLEY STRUEL?
WHO?
STANLEY STRUEL,
LIKE IN THE PICTURE.
OH, YEAH,
THAT’S ME.
GOT ANY NEEDLES
ON YOU?
NO.
IF I POKE MYSELF,
YOU’RE GONNA GET
YOUR NECK SNAPPED
IN HALF.
I DON’T GOT NO NEEDLES.
OH, GOD.
THAT’S ALCOHOL
ON MY BREATH.
THAT’S ’CAUSE I’VE
BEEN DRINKING TODAY.
GARTH BROOKS.
ALL THE SAME CD.
WHAT HAPPENED?
DID I BUY ALL
THE SAME RECORDS?
ALL RIGHT.
YOU’RE GONNA GO
SIT IN THE CAR
AND KEEP
YOUR MOUTH SHUT.
ALL RIGHT.
I’M ADVISED OF MY RIGHTS.
DID YOU HEAR
WHAT I SAID?
IT’S BAD WHEN
THERE’S BLOOD IN IT.
YOU EVER TRY
EATING FOOD?
WHEN I SHOOT DOPE.
WHEN I BINGE DRINK,
I DON’T EAT.
I GOT SICK.
I THREW UP
WITH BLOOD IN IT.
YOU GOT SOME GUM?
HERE. USE SOME GUM.
HEY, COULD YOU
DO ME A FAVOR
AND GET ME A PIECE
OUTTA THERE?
MY HAND CONTROL’S GONE,
YOU KNOW?
IF YOU LET GO
OF MY ARM, I COULD.
I UNDERSTAND.
HEY, I TELL YOU,
IF I DIDN’T PAY
FOR THOSE CDs,
I MEAN, DON’T BUZZERS
GO OFF OR SOMETHING?
YOUR MOTHER’S DEAD.
SHE WAS KILLED.
MOM?
YEAH, MOM.
DID YOU KILL HER?
UH, LISTEN, LISTEN.
LISTEN, MY MOM AND I
DIDN’T GET ALONG,
BUT‐‐BUT KILLING MY MOM?
I MEAN, BELIEVE ME,
WE DIDN’T GET ALONG,
BUT‐‐
BUT SHE‐‐SHE WAS KILLED?
YEAH, AND THIS IS
HOW THEY DID IT.
OH, MY GOD.
[GAGS]
YOU THROW UP IN HERE,
AND I’LL KNOCK OUT
EVERY TOOTH
YOU GOT LEFT.
LISTEN, MY MOM,
SHE WAS A ROTTEN BITCH.
THE ONLY PERSON
I EVER HEARD SHE LIKED
WAS THAT EVANGELIST,
YOU KNOW, THE ONE
WITH THE DOPEY COMB‐OVER.
BENNY HIN?
YEAH,
WHATEVER HIS NAME IS,
BUT NO ONE
DESERVES THIS.
SHE’S MISSING
BOTH HER FEET!
THE MURDERER
CUT HER HANDS OFF TOO.
OH, MY GOD.
HE CUT HER HANDS OFF.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU BLACKOUT DRUNK.
ME? THERE AIN’T
A BLACKOUT IN THE WORLD
THAT WOULD MAKE ME
CUT HER APART LIKE THAT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM?
WHAT ABOUT YOUR BROTHER?
HE AIN’T
A BLACKOUT DRINKER.
Medavoy:
WHAT HE’S ASKING‐‐
DO YOU THINK
YOUR BROTHER
COULD’VE DONE THIS
TO YOUR MOM?
NO‐‐NO.
MY BROTHER‐‐
HAS ATTITUDE WITH ME.
I DON’T SEE HIM MUCH
ANYMORE,
BUT NO!
NO, I CAN’T IMAGINE
ARNIE WOULD DO
SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
WELL, SOMEBODY DID IT.
YEAH, BUT IT WASN’T ME,
AND I DON’T BELIEVE
THAT IT WAS MY BROTHER.
DAMN!
I’M SORRY.
YOU DIRTY BASTARD!
I WAS PROJECTILE VOMITING.
YOU SEE THE BLOOD IN THERE?
Martinez:
THAT HE DIDN’T
FRACTURE YOUR SKULL,
YOU ARE THE LUCKIEST
DRUNK IN AMERICA.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, ANDY?
WILL YOU
LEAVE ME ALONE?
SURE.
WILL YOU LEAVE ME ALONE,
MARTINEZ?
SURE, ANDY.
[CRYING]
OH, GOD.
PLEASE DON’T LET HIM DIE.
[KNOCKING]
HELLO, COME ON IN!
DON’T BE SHY AROUND
YOUR OWN COOP.
HEY, PATS.
I APPRECIATE YOU
LOOKING AFTER
MY BIRDS.
WHAT, ARE YOU KIDDING?
SCRAPING THE FLOORS?
CLEANING THE NEST BALLS?
NOTHING CLEARS
MY HEAD BETTER.
NOW, THIS IS TRUE.
THIS IS MY PLEASURE
FOR YOU.
LOOK, YOU’RE NOT
ABLE TO DO IT,
AND THAT’S JUST
THE WAY IT IS.
YEAH.
I’VE BEEN TEACHING YOU BIRDS
SINCE YOU’RE 8 YEARS OLD,
AND THAT’S A LESSON
I’M PREPARED
TO INSTRUCT YOU.
YOU’RE GONNA TEACH ME
NOT TO TAKE CARE
OF MY BIRDS?
ASK YOUR
WISENHEIMER QUESTIONS.
HAS ANYONE TOOK CARE
OF THESE BIRDS
IN 5,000 YEARS?
YOU EVER SEEN
A 5,000‐YEAR BIRD?
IF I SLEPT
IN THIS COOP,
WOULD THAT MAKE
ANY SENSE?
I’D WALK OUT
WITH BIRD CRAP
IN MY HAIR.
LISTEN, YOU TAKE
CARE OF YOUR BIRDS
A PERIOD OF TIME.
YOU ENJOY
CLEARING YOUR HEAD
A PERIOD OF TIME.
I GOT DIANE.
I GOT MY JOB
AS A DETECTIVE.
YOU GOT
YOUR GROWN‐UP JOB.
YOU GOT YOUR
GROWN‐UP BEING IN LOVE.
ALL THESE THINGS
CLEAR YOUR HEAD
A PERIOD OF TIME.
AND THIS IS IT.
YOU’RE GLAD THIS COOP’S
MAINTAINED. AM I RIGHT?
YEAH.
I’M GLAD
FOR THE BIRDS.
THAT’S A FURTHER POINT.
NOW, LET ME
CLEAR MY HEAD
AND FEED THESE BIRDS.
PATSY, CAN I COME BACK
IF I’M FEELING BETTER?
YOU KNOW BETTER
THAN THAT.
DON’T EVER ASK THAT
PERMISSION AGAIN!
SO I CAN
COME BACK?
WHAT DID I JUST
SAY TO YOU?
I’M COMING BACK.
THAT’S THE PROPER TONE!
[COUGHING]
[WHEEZING]
BECAUSE I NEED TO KEEP
MY FRIEND COMPANY
UNTIL I GO TO WORK.
WELL, TELL FRANK
MOM’S A BIG BOOGER, OK?
AND YOU’LL EACH WAKE UP
TOMORROW MORNING
WITH 2 KISSES MORE
IN YOUR KISS ACCOUNTS
THAN WHEN
YOU WENT TO SLEEP.
ALL RIGHT? BYE, BABY.
I LOVE YOU.
HOW ARE THE BOYS?
THEY’RE FINE.
BOBBY’S RESTING?
YEAH.
WELL...
I HOPE HE’S NOT GETTING
TOO SICK BEFORE THEY OPERATE.
HE’S LYING THERE,
AND HE CAN’T BREATHE.
DO YOU WANT TO TALK
TO HIS DOCTOR?
OH, NO. HE’LL JUST TELL ME
WE HAVE TO PLAY
A WAITING GAME.
THIS DR. SWAN?
I MEAN, I JUST‐‐I’M AFRAID
HE’S GONNA DIE RIGHT NOW.
THEY’RE KEEPING
GOOD CARE OF HIM,
DIANE.
I KNOW. I KNOW.
I JUST DON’T KNOW
IF THEY ARE.
DO YOUR
4:00 TO 12:00, JILL.
THERE’S A RUMOR
I CAN SHOW UP
A LITTLE LATE.
REALLY, REALLY,
I’D JUST AS SOON
BE BY MYSELF.
OK. I’LL, UH,
I’LL STOP HOME
BEFORE I GO IN.
OK.
OH, THANK GOD.
WHAT IS IT?
HERE’S DR. CARRERAS,
LIKE GOD SENT HIM.
HI.
I’M WORRIED
ABOUT BOBBY, DOCTOR.
I KNOW YOU’RE OFF
THIS ROTATION,
BUT COULD YOU GO IN
AND LOOK AT HIM?
I STOPPED BY
TO SEE HIM.
I’M WORRIED
HE’S NOT DOING WELL,
AND I KNOW WE HAVE TO PLAY
THIS WAITING GAME.
LET ME LOOK IN ON HIM,
AND THEN I’LL COME BACK
AND TALK TO YOU.
OK.
I’LL WAIT RIGHT HERE.
OK, SURE.
I’LL BE RIGHT HERE.
ARE YOU SURE
YOU DON’T WANT ME
TO STAY WITH YOU, DIANE?
NO. THAT’S LIKE
AN ANSWERED PRAYER.
DR. CARRERAS
DOESN’T TALK DOWN.
GO AHEAD, JILL.
I‐‐I‐‐I WAS AFRAID
HE WAS DYING,
BUT I THINK
HE’S GONNA BE BETTER NOW.
REALLY, REALLY, GO.
JUST...GO.
OK.
BOBBY?
HEY, DOC.
NICE COAT.
HOW YOU DOIN’?
THEY’LL OPERATE SOON,
AND YOU’RE GONNA FEEL
A LOT BETTER.
TELL ’EM DON’T WASTE TIME
TIDYING UP.
SORRY?
NOTHING.
I DON’T HEAR WELL
OUT OF MY LEFT EAR.
UH...
I WAS JUST SAYING...
DON’T WASTE TIME
PRETTYING UP
THE OPERATING ROOM
BEFORE THEY OPERATE.
I WAS JUST BEING...
FUNNY.
DON’T GIVE UP HOPE,
BOBBY.
NO, DOC.
NO, NO.
IS HE ALL RIGHT?
WHO ARE WE
TALKING ABOUT?
HI.
JILL LEAVE?
SHE’S SEEING HER BOYS,
THEN SHE’S GONNA DO
A 4:00 TO 12:00.
I’LL BE RIGHT OUTSIDE.
DO YOU FEEL HE’S GETTING
SO MUCH WEAKER?
IF A HEART DOESN’T
BECOME AVAILABLE
FOR BOBBY,
THE DOCTORS WANT
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT
THE LEFT VENTRICULAR
DEVICE TO BUY US
MORE TIME.
BUT HE DIDN’T THINK
THAT DEVICE
WOULD HELP BOBBY
UNLESS THE BALLOON PUMP
STARTED CHEWING UP HIS BODY.
AT ANY RATE,
OUR BEST BET
IS TO TRANSPLANT.
AND I WAS GLAD TO HEAR
THAT BOBBY’S MOVED UP
TO THIRD ON THE LIST.
I THINK THAT’S ’CAUSE
THE PATIENT NEXT DOOR DIED
BEFORE HE COULD GET
HIS TRANSPLANT.
BUT YOU LIKE DR. SWAN.
HE’S A TOP, TOP SURGEON.
THAT’S WHAT’S IMPORTANT.
I MEAN, LIKING HIM
ISN’T REALLY IMPORTANT.
YOU’VE GOT
TO HOLD ON NOW.
I’M GONNA HOLD ON.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR STOPPING.
I’M PRAYING FOR YOU.
YOU’RE AN ANSWERED PRAYER
WHEN I SAW YOU.
I WAS‐‐I WAS SO AFRAID
I WAS LOSING BOBBY.
I’LL TALK TO YOU
LATER.
PUT THE TV ON, BABY.
IT’S OK.
NO, GO AHEAD.
PUT IT ON.
[TV PROGRAM PLAYING]
WE DON’T KNOW
DID HE DO IT OR NOT.
WE HAD TO STOP TALKING
A LITTLE WHILE
SO I COULD CLEAN OFF
THE BLOODY PUKE THAT
HE THREW UP ALL OVER ME.
WHEN DID YOU
GET SO CURIOUS?
EXCUSE ME INTERRUPTING,
MR. STRUEL,
BUT I GIVE WHAT I GET.
SO EVEN SAYING NOW
THAT YOU’D APPRECIATE
KNOWING,
I’M NOT INCLINED
TO OFFER YOU NO GUESSES
WHERE YOUR BROTHER
STANDS.
OH, I’M TERRIFIED.
HEY, HEY, HURRY OVER.
SPARE SOME IMMIGRANTS
GETTING CHEATED ON
IN YOUR STORE.
OH, AND MR. STRUEL,
WHEN YOU GET HERE,
IF SOMEONE CLAIMING
TO BE ME TELLS YOU
TO KISS HIS ASS,
THAT’S GONNA BE
AN IMPOSTOR
BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE
AGAINST MY OBLIGATION
AS A NEW YORK CITY
POLICE OFFICER.
LOOKED TO PISS HIM OFF
SO HE CAN COME BACK IN.
SO, YOU’RE GOING BACK
AT THE SKEL BROTHER?
YEAH, RIGHT NOW.
YOU GOTTA CATCH A TRAIN?
HEY, I FEEL LIKE HELL
FOR PUKIN’ ON YA.
DON’T TALK ABOUT THAT.
SIT.
I’M SORRY.
SIT DOWN.
LISTEN TO ME, STANLEY.
I’M CONVINCED
YOU’RE MOPE ENOUGH
NOT TO HAVE THIS IN YOU.
WHAT I WANNA KNOW NOW,
IN YOUR SKEL
PISSIN’ AND MOANIN’
IN THE BARS EVERY DAY,
WOULD YOU GO ON
HOW YOUR MOTHER
HAD A FEW DOLLARS
AND DECENT THINGS
IN HER APARTMENT?
ARE YOU SAYIN’ THAT
I’D FINGER MY OWN MOTHER
IN A ROBBERY?
I’M SAYIN’ WHEN YOU’D
SING YOUR CRYBABY SONG
HOW THE WHOLE WORLD
GIVES STANLEY
NOTHIN’ BUT A BUM DEAL
HIS WHOLE POOR,
MISERABLE LIFE,
WOULD YOU SOMETIMES
INCLUDE IN THE CHORUS,
"AND MY MOTHER,
WHO LIVES BY HERSELF
AT 780 HOUSTON STREET,
"WITH HER
COMFORTABLE INCOME
"AND HER STEALABLE
APPLIANCES,
DON’T TAKE CARE OF ME"?
NO. NEVER.
I TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
MY MOTHER CHANGED APARTMENTS
3 YEARS AGO
AND HID FROM ME
WHERE SHE MOVED.
SHE WAS ON
HOUSTON STREET?
Struel: YOU GOT
MY BROTHER IN THERE?
EXCUSE ME.
HEY, ARNOLD,
I DIDN’T DO IT, ARNIE!
SIT, SIT.
SOMETHING
I CAN DO FOR YOU?
YEAH. TELL ME HOW
THE FRAME JOB’S GOING
ON MY LOSER BROTHER.
OH, NOW
IT’S A FRAME JOB.
HE STILL SAYING
HE DIDN’T DO IT.
YOU MUST NOT HAVE BROKE OUT
THE BRASS KNUCKLES YET.
WE SENT FOR THEM,
THE THUMBSCREWS.
LATER ON, WE’RE GONNA
PUT HIM ON THE RACK.
ARE YOU STUPID,
OR YOU JUST DON’T CARE
WHO YOU PIN THESE THINGS ON?
WHY IS IT YOU NEED
A PIECE OF ME,
STRUEL, HUH?
’CAUSE I PROMISE YOU,
YOU’RE GONNA BE SORRY.
YOU JUST GAVE UP
YOUR FREEDOM, ARNOLD.
YEAH? I JUST CLEANED
YOUR CLOCK, OLD MAN!
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
REMEMBERING
WHAT YOU WERE LIKE
BEFORE YOU GOT OLD.
I GOT HIM,
I GOT HIM.
SON OF A BITCH!
I GOT HIM!
HERE, HERE.
ALL RIGHT,
COME ON, ARNOLD.
LET’S YOU AND ME
GO SOMEPLACE
AND FIGURE YOU OUT.
SO LET ME ASK YOU,
ARNOLD.
YOU WANNA DUKE A LITTLE
BEFORE WE CHAT?
MY BROTHER DIDN’T DO THIS.
I’LL TELL YOU, YOU GOT
HALF A DECENT PUNCH.
SQUARE OFF AGAINST
A 75‐YEAR‐OLD WOMAN,
I’LL BET YOU’RE
A REGULAR TERROR.
I DIDN’T KILL HER,
EITHER.
OH, I SEE. YOU WANNA
USE A HAMMER AND
HACKSAW FOR BACKUP.
I MEAN, I MADE HER
ABOUT 105 POUNDS,
SAW SHE HAD
A WALKER OVER THERE
IN THE CORNER.
I DIDN’T KILL HER!
NOW, WE CAN DO THIS
AS LONG AS YOU WANT,
ARNOLD.
YOU CATCH YOUR BREATH,
YOU COME AT ME AGAIN,
I’LL SHOW YOU
VARIOUS WAYS
A FAT OLD MAN
CAN BEAT YOUR BALLS OFF.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
WE’RE BUSY!
Medavoy: I NEED
TO TALK TO YOU.
ABOUT WHAT?
CONCERNING SOMETHING
RELEVANT.
SIMONE?
UH, NO.
NO, BUT...
CONCERNING
THIS ELDERLY DOA.
DELORES HAS SOMETHING
SHE WANTS TO SAY TO YOU.
THE M.E. SAID
BESIDES BEING BEATEN
AND MUTILATED,
DOROTHY STRUEL
WAS ALSO SHOT
IN THE HEAD
WITH A 25‐CALIBER
WEAPON.
OH, THAT MAKES IT
EVEN MORE HEINOUS.
THEY REALIZED IT DOING
THE AUTOPSY X‐RAYS.
THEY EXTRACTED
A 25‐CALIBER BULLET.
YOU MADE HIM
RUN INTERFERENCE
TO TELL ME THAT?
ALSO, THE LICENSE BUREAU
CALLED 45 MINUTES AGO
ON YOUR SEARCH REQUEST
ON THE STRUEL BROTHERS.
STANLEY STRUEL HAS
NO WEAPONS REGISTERED.
ARNOLD STRUEL HAS
A PREMISES PERMIT
FOR A 25.
45 MINUTES AGO.
SORRY.
THAT’S ALL RIGHT.
EVERYBODY’S BEEN UNDER
A LOT OF PRESSURE.
WELL‐PUT, ANDY.
KNOWLEDGE
OF THE PRESSURE
CAUSED THE MISTAKE.
MAYBE THE WEAPON’S
A NEW ANGLE TO GO
ON THE GUY WITH.
THAT’S KIRKENDALL
BACK FROM THE HOSPITAL.
I’D MAKE HER COMING IN
TO DO A 4:00 TO 12:00
A GOOD SIGN.
GO SPEAK WITH HER AND REPORT
HER ACTUAL IMPRESSIONS.
LET ME KNOW.
OK, NOW, WE DID IT
AGAIN, HUH?
IT TURNS OUT
THAT YOUR MOTHER
WAS ALSO SHOT
IN THE HEAD, ARNOLD.
SHE WAS SHOT WITH
A 25‐CALIBER WEAPON,
WHICH YOU GOT ONE OF
REGISTERED IN YOUR NAME.
HOW SCREWED UP I AM?
I KEEP MY OPINION THAT
YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
BUT YOU DIDN’T DO THIS
YOURSELF.
ON THE OTHER HAND,
YOU WANT ME TO GO AHEAD
AND PIN THIS ON YOU,
I’D BE HAPPY TO.
THEN PIN IT ON ME!
AS OPPOSED
TO YOUR BROTHER?
YEAH, AS OPPOSED
TO MY BROTHER.
YOU WANT TO PIN IT
ON BOTH OF US?
DID YOU KILL
YOUR MOTHER?
MY MOTHER KILLED HERSELF.
BEFORE SHE HACKED HER
OWN HANDS AND FEET OFF
OR AFTER?
I HACKED HER HANDS
AND FEET OFF.
AND YOU BRAINED HER
WITH A BALL BAT.
AND I BRAINED HER
WITH A BALL BAT.
BUT YOU DIDN’T
SHOOT HER.
SHE SHOT HERSELF!
SHE CALLED ME DRUNK...
LIKE SHE WAS EVERY DAY,
TO TELL ME LIKE SHE DID
EVERY DAY
THAT SHE WAS GONNA DO IT.
SHE WAS GONNA USE MY GUN
SHE’D ASKED ME TO GIVE HER
TO PROTECT HERSELF.
SHE’D WAIT TO SEE ME
COMING UP THE STREET
TO TRY TO STOP HER,
AND THEN SHE’D
SHOOT HERSELF IN THE HEAD
SO HER INSURANCE POLICY
SHE TOOK OUT 6 MONTHS AGO
WOULDN’T PAY OFF
FOR ME OR MY BROTHER.
YOU GET THERE,
FIND HER DEAD,
AND YOU TAKE
THE IMPLEMENTS TO HER?
DON’T TELL ME I DID IT
FOR INSURANCE.
I DIDN’T TAKE
10 CENTS FROM HER
SINCE I WAS 14 YEARS OLD!
I PAID HER RENT,
I MOVED HER SO MY BROTHER
WOULDN’T ROB FROM HER.
SHE’D HAVE SLEPT
IN THE STREET.
SHE WAS A MISERABLE,
RUMMY DRUNK,
ONLY LIVED TO HURT
PEOPLE’S FEELINGS,
CALLING THAT
SHE’LL WAIT FOR ME
TO COME UP THE STREET,
WANTS ME TO HEAR
THE GUNSHOT.
I CUT HER UP!
I BEAT HER HEAD IN
WHERE SHE SHOT HERSELF
IN THE BRAIN!
I HAVE BEEN BEAT
BY BETTER THAN YOU!
I WAS BEAT PRETTY GOOD
AND PLENTY PEOPLE BEAT ME!
ALL RIGHT, STRUEL.
ALL RIGHT, SIT THERE,
PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER.
DID HE PASS?
HE’S FAILING,
DETECTIVE KIRKENDALL
SAID.
WHY DON’T THEY
DO SOMETHING?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
GONNA APPRISE ME.
AND SAY WHAT, ANDY?
HE’S FAILING, JILL SAID.
AND THEY
DON’T GOT A HEART.
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
I GOT NOTHING, ANDY.
WHAT IS IT, MEDAVOY?
UH...
WHEN YOU’RE DONE
WITH THIS ONE, ANDY,
WILL YOU BE GOING BACK
AT THE SKEL BROTHER AGAIN,
OR SHOULD WE PUT HIM
IN THE SYSTEM FOR
THE BOOSTED CDs?
I DON’T KNOW.
WAS IT PRODUCTIVE AT ALL,
THE NEW INFORMATION
ABOUT THE GUN?
I DON’T KNOW YET,
MEDAVOY.
LETTING THIS ONE TAKE IT OUT
ON THE FURNITURE A WHILE,
LAY AROUND
HIS MISERABLE NATURE?
OH, MY GOD.
COME ON, STRUEL.
COME ON, STRUEL.
COME ON, STRUEL.
[COUGHING]
HE’S COMING AROUND,
ANDY.
I COULD’VE HELPED HIM.
I COULD’VE HELPED HIM.
YOU DID, ANDY.
HE’S COMING AROUND.
I COULD’VE HELPED SIMONE.
IF THIS GUY DIED,
I COULD’VE HELPED SIMONE
GET HIS HEART.
THAT PRICK LIVES.
YOU KNOW,
LOOKIN’ BACK...
I’M SURPRISED
ANDY HELPED HIM.
I MEAN, NOT THAT
HE SHOULDN’T HAVE.
15th SQUAD.
UH‐HUH.
OK. HOLD ON
ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.
LIEUTENANT FANCY?
COMMUNICATIONS
IS ON THE PHONE,
LIEUTENANT.
THEY’VE GOT A COP SHOT
IN MIDTOWN SOUTH.
HE’S HIT IN THE HEAD.
THEY SAY A GRAZING WOUND?
THEY JUST SAID
SHOT IN THE HEAD.
THEY SAY GRAZING WOUND?
ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT.
DID THEY SAY
GRAZING WOUND?
NO.
AND THEY’RE NOT
ASKING FOR BLOOD.
I’M GOING TO BELLEVUE.
HEAD SHOT.
DON’T SAY GRAZING WOUND.
DON’T ASK FOR BLOOD.
THAT DON’T SOUND GOOD.
GOD’S WILL BE DONE.
THAT’S ALL YOU CAN SAY.
DID HE FILL OUT
A DONATION CARD?
I DON’T KNOW, ANDY.
I WASN’T ON
THE PHONE CALL.
ALIVE AND WELL.
ALIVE AND WELL,
JUST AS I PREDICTED.
BREATHING COMFORTABLY.
[KNOCKING]
I’M ART FANCY,
MRS. GILLIAM.
I’M A LIEUTENANT
ON THE JOB.
DO YOU KNOW TIM?
I KNOW ABOUT HIM.
I’M SO SORRY
ABOUT WHAT’S HAPPENED.
I WAS TELLING
MY MOTHER...
HE TRIED TO STOP
A ROBBERY.
HE WAS SHOPPING WITH ME
ON THE WAY HOME.
SHE’S WHEELCHAIR‐BOUND.
SHE’S IN MASSAPEQUA.
I COMMAND THE 15th SQUAD.
ONE OF MY DETECTIVES
HAS A HEART DISEASE.
HE NEEDS A TRANSPLANT
TO LIVE.
I ALREADY EXPLAINED.
THAT’S A DECISION
TIM WOULD MAKE.
I KNOW YOU SPOKE
WITH MISS CARPENTER
FROM THE ORGAN PROGRAM‐‐
TIM DIDN’T
FILL A CARD OUT,
AND THAT WILL BE
HIS DECISION.
WAS TIM AGAINST
ORGAN DONATION?
DID THE TWO OF YOU
EVER TALK ABOUT THAT?
BUT I CAN’T
MAKE THAT FOR HIM.
THOSE ARE THE TYPES
OF DECISIONS HE MAKES.
I SEE.
THEY SAID TIMMY
WOULDN’T FEEL ANY PAIN.
HOW DO THEY KNOW
WHAT HE FEELS?
I’M NOT A DOCTOR, EITHER,
BUT THE BEST I’VE HEARD IT
EXPLAINED,
IS WHEN THE BRAIN
CAN’T RECEIVE ELECTRICAL
IMPULSES ANY LONGER,
IT NO LONGER
REGISTERS PAIN.
AND THESE PEOPLE
YOU READ ABOUT
WAKING UP FROM COMAS?
I GUESS THIS IS SUPPOSED
TO BE DIFFERENT FROM THAT.
THAT’S WHAT THEY SAID.
THIS DETECTIVE IN MY PRECINCT’S
NAMED BOBBY SIMONE.
HE’S THE KIND OF COP
I THINK YOUR HUSBAND
WOULD HAVE ADMIRED.
TIMMY ALREADY
HAS 4 COMMENDATIONS.
HE’S ALSO A NEWLYWED.
HIS HEART’S BAD?
IF YOU SAID YOU WANTED
TO GIVE FIRST PRIORITY
TO A WORTHY COP,
MRS. GILLIAM,
THAT TYPE OF DIRECT
DONATION IS ALLOWED,
AND BOBBY COULD
GET HIS TRANSPLANT.
TIM MADE
THESE DECISIONS.
YOU HAVE TO
DO IT FOR HIM NOW.
WOULD THEY LET ME
SIT WITH HIM
A FEW MINUTES
BEFORE IT STARTED?
I’M SURE
YOU CAN DO THAT, YES.
NO. ABSOLUTELY.
THEY’RE ALL
RIGHT HERE.
ALL RIGHT, LIEU.
ALL RIGHT.
THANKS VERY MUCH.
TELL HIM GOOD JOB.
EVERYONE EXPRESSES
APPRECIATION.
MUCH AS I BREAK HIS BALLS.
I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH
YOU ALL HEARD.
UH, PERMISSIONS
WERE ALL SECURED.
THEY’RE GONNA HARVEST
THE POOR FELLA’S HEART
OVER AT BELLEVUE
AND THEN TRANSPORT IT
OVER TO WHERE BOBBY IS
AT NYU,
AND THEN, EVIDENTLY,
THE TRANSPLANT PROCEDURE
WILL BEGIN.
UM, IT WAS
A UNIFORMED COP
NAMED GILLIAM.
6 YEARS ON THE JOB.
ALL IN MIDTOWN SOUTH?
UH, I DON’T KNOW.
GOT A LINE ON THE GUYS
THAT DID IT?
YEAH. I DON’T KNOW.
I’M GONNA GO CALL
MIDTOWN SOUTH.
IF IT HAD TO HAPPEN,
ALL’S I CAN SAY...
I AM SO GLAD BOBBY’S
GONNA HAVE A SHOT.
WE CAUGHT A BREAK,
BOBBY.
YOU WENT FROM THIRD
TO FIRST.
WE GOT
A DIRECTED DONATION
FROM THE WIDOW
OF ANOTHER COP.
YOUR HUSBAND’S
GONNA GET A HEART.
WHEN?
WE’RE NOT GONNA
LET ANY GRASS GROW
UNDER OUR FEET.
WE’LL TAKE BOBBY INTO
THE OPERATING ROOM NOW,
GET HIM READY
FOR THE PROCEDURE,
AND AS SOON AS
THE ORGAN ARRIVES
FROM BELLEVUE,
WE’RE READY TO GO.
DID YOU HEAR
DR. SWAN, BOBBY?
SOUNDS LIKE WE’RE
GOING INTO ACTION.
Dr. Swan:
I’M GONNA GO
DOWNSTAIRS TO SCRUB.
DR. RUSSELL’S GONNA
GIVE YOU SOME VERCED
TO HELP YOU RELAX,
AND THEN
HE’LL ADMINISTER
YOUR ANESTHETIC
DOWNSTAIRS.
DOC...
COULD WE HOLD OFF ON
THE RELAXING MEDICATION
UNTIL I GET DOWNSTAIRS?
SURE. WE CAN DO THAT.
KEEPING MY EYES OPEN...
SO I CAN SEE MY GIRL.
