I DON’T KNOW.
AH, STOP, STOP, HERE.
SURE.
THAT RUSSELL YOU MET,
FEMALE DETECTIVE.
DIANE?
[CLEARS THROAT]
SHE HAD AN ATTACHMENT
WITH THE DETECTIVE
WHOSE SPOT YOU’RE
TAKING‐‐BOBBY SIMONE.
THE BOSS SAID
THEY WERE MARRIED.
SO YOU KNOW, EVIDENTLY,
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO,
WHY YOU CONSISTENTLY
INTERRUPT, HMM?
NO, ANDY, I WAS MORE LIKE
SHARING THE SMALL TIDBITS
I KNEW ABOUT THE SUBJECT.
BUT I’VE SAID MY PIECE NOW.
SIMONE DIED.
SIMONE DIED,
THEY WERE MARRIED,
THIS IS HER FIRST DAY
BACK.
TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT.

MAKE A TON OF NARCOTIC
BUSTS IN THIS AREA?
A COUPLE.
HEY, MORNING, CAGE.
HEY, HOW’S LIFE WITH
A GOLD SHIELD, DANNY?
IT’S GOOD. IT’S GOOD.
WHAT HAVE WE GOT?
JULIO DIAZ,
SHOT IN THE ARM,
SAYS IT WAS A DRIVE BY.
ONLY ONE GUY IN THE CAR.
THAT’S ALL HE’S GOT?
THAT’S ALL HE HAD
FOR ME.
JULIO DIAZ?
YEAH.
HEY, HOW’D YOU
GET SHOT, JULIO?
OH, CRAZY GUY
IN A CAR, MAN.
OH, CRAZY GUY YOU
WERE ACQUAINTED WITH?
NAH, CAME OUT
OF NOWHERE.
AND DECIDED TO SHOOT YOU?
MUST BE ON DRUGS, MAN.
WHAT’S THIS GUY’S CAR
LOOK LIKE?
Ramirez: I DON’T KNOW,
GRAY, GOLD, I’M BLANKING.
OH, YEAH, THAT‐‐THAT’S
UNDERSTANDABLE,
’CAUSE, YOU KNOW,
YOU’RE SO UPSET.
I’M IN PAIN RIGHT NOW,
MAN. I GOT SHOT.
FEEL BETTER.
HEY, YOU IN THE HAT!
HOW DO I KNOW YOU?
WHAT?
I’VE SEEN YOU BEFORE.
WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
MAN, I WAS
JUST WALKING BY.
GET OVER THERE.
GET OVER THERE
AND GET SOME I. D. OUT.
MAN!

HAVE I EVER DEALT
WITH YOU BEFORE?
NAH, I STAY OUT

"DAVID FERNANDO LOBO."
YOU GOT A STREET NAME?
FLACO.
YEAH, YOU HOLDIN’
OUT, FLACO?
NO.
YOU AUTHORIZING ME
TO SEARCH YOU?
YEAH, MAN, I’M CLEAN.
EMPTY YOUR POCKETS.
Sorenson: COME ON, COME ON!
EMPTY YOUR POCKETS.
THIS WAS A DRUG THING,
DANNY,
3 GUYS IN A CAR
COME DOWN ON THE 4
IN THE STREET.
THIS GUY GOT SHOT,
HIS BOYS GO AFTER
THE DRIVE‐BY CAR.
SPREAD YOUR LEGS. COME ON,
YOU HIDIN’ SOMETHING?
WHAT KIND OF RIDES?
THE DRIVE‐BY CAR’S
A BLUE CHEVY.
THE FIRST 3 LETTERS
ON THE PLATE IS Q‐A‐G.
THE GUY WHO GOT SHOT,
HIS BOYS CHASED AFTER
THE CHEVY,
LIKE IN A BEAT‐UP,
UH, GOLD ACCORD.
I DIDN’T GET NO PLATES.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON,
PICK UP YOUR STUFF
AND GET OUT OF HERE.
GIVE HIM HIS WALLET, ANDY.
YES, SIR.
GO TELL DANNY
CONGRATULATIONS
ON HIS PROMOTION.
YEAH, I’LL GET RIGHT
ON IT.
YOU GOT NO FRIENDS,
JULIO?
YEAH, I GOT FRIENDS.
NOBODY WAS HANGING
WITH YOU, THOUGH,
WHEN THE SOLE OPERATOR
OF THIS GRAY OR GOLD CAR
STARTED
THROWING BULLETS?
NO.
OWW!
ALL RIGHT, LOOK,
THIS POLICEMAN
IS GOING WITH YOU
WHILE YOU GET SEEN
TO AT THE HOSPITAL.
THEN HE’S BRINGING
YOU OVER TO OUR SQUAD.
WHEN YOU GET THERE,
I WANT THE NAMES OF
YOUR 5 MAIN RUNNIN’
BUDDIES.
AND THEY BETTER SQUARE
WITH WHAT I’M GOING TO
KNOW ABOUT YOU BY THEN.
WE GOT A GAME, JULIO?
YEAH, PEPE.
ATTABOY.
DETECTIVES, CAN I TALK
TO YOU A MINUTE?
WE GOT A DOUBLE HOMICIDE
ON THE FDR DRIVE.
2 DOAs IN A BLUE CHEVY.
THAT’S GONNA BE
THESE SHOOTERS.
I DON’T HAVE I. D.
ON EITHER OF THEM.
SOMEBODY SURE WANTED THESE
GUYS DEAD, HUH, DIANE?
LOOKS LIKE A DOZEN HOLES
IN THE DOOR ALONE.
UH, BLOOD TRAIL,
LIEU.
UH, PAST THE 2 DOAs,
IT LOOKS LIKE A THIRD PERSON
WAS HIT THAT GOT AWAY.
ANDY AND THE NEW GUY
SORENSON ARE ON THEIR
WAY OVER.
DUST OFF
THE LICENSE PLATE HERE,
MATCHING THE PARTIAL
AT THEIR CRIME SCENE.
I BET YOU A QUARTER
THESE 2 INCIDENTS
ARE RELATED.
THAT MEANS
THE DOAs GET FOLDED
INTO HIS CASE?
SORENSON?
YEAH, SORENSON.
WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT.
HOW THAT’S GONNA WORK.
[SIREN BEEPS]
[SIREN]
I DON’T KNOW HOW
THE LIEUTENANT’S
GONNA HANDLE THIS,
WHOSE CASE THIS IS.
ANY WAY IS GOOD.
THE POINT I’M MAKING,
TECHNICALLY THESE DOAs
SHOULD BE PART
OF YOUR CASE.
ME AND RUSSELL
WOULD CATCH NEXT.
I DON’T THINK I’D GET
TOO CHESTY ABOUT THAT.
YOU UNDERSTAND
THE‐‐THE COMPLICATIONS
ABOUT WHAT I’M TRYING TO
EXPLAIN TO YOU, DANNY?
YEAH.
WHAT HAVE WE GOT, BOSS?
UH, SOMEONE CHASED
THESE DOAs FROM YOUR
CRIME SCENE.
PROBABLY THE GUY
WHO THREW THESE SHOTS
WINGED OUR GUY.
THIS PLATE COMES BACK
REGISTERED TO
A LEONARD LOHMAN.
LENNY LOHMAN? HE’S
A LOWLIFE BARTENDER.
I KNOW WHERE
TO REACH OUT TO HIM.
Fancy:
SO WHO’S CATCHING THESE?
WHATEVER’S RIGHT,
BOSS.
MEANING ’CAUSE YOU
CAUGHT THE FIRST ONE,
YOU WANT THE
DOUBLE HOMICIDE, TOO?
SURE. THAT‐‐THAT’S OK.
YEAH. GOOD.
THAT’S HOW WE’LL DO IT.
SHALL WE REACH OUT
TO THE BARTENDER, ANDY?
YEAH, LET’S.
WE COULD, UH,
GET THE CANVAS.
GOOD.
DIANE AND I WILL STICK
AROUND FOR CRIME SCENE.
WHERE’S THE BAR, ANDY?
ABOUT 8 BLOCKS OVER.
MAYBE IN PROGRESS, YOU AND ME
NEED TO CHAT A LITTLE
ON OUR DEFINITIONS
OF "CHESTY."
Dispatcher: 5‐7‐2,
ADAM 10‐1.
MAYBE DANNY WILL
GET A GREAT PROMOTION
BY THE END
OF HIS FIRST SHIFT.
HERE’S ONE OF
THE GUY’S WALLETS.
Dispatcher: YES,
7 AT THE AIRPORT,
5‐7‐2 ADAM,
DO YOU COPY THAT?
IS THIS CHESTY DISCUSSION
COMIN’ SOON, ANDY?
I’M CHOOSIN’ MY WORDS.
YEAH, OBVIOUSLY.
BUT I HOPE WE MIGHT
BE ABLE TO GET IT
OUT OF THE WAY
BEFORE STANDING IN
FRONT OF THIS BARTENDER
WHO OWNS THE MURDER CAR.
SEE, HERE AGAIN I’M TAKING
A SMART‐ASS CONNOTATION
OFF WHAT YOU SAY.
NO, I’M NOT BEING
A SMART‐ASS.
BUT BEFORE I SPEAK TO
RUSSELL OR ANYBODY ELSE,
I’M NOT GOING TO STUDY
ON EVERY WORD I SAY
LIKE IT’S SCRIPTURE.
I TOLD YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT
THIS GIRL’S MIND‐SET.
I DID.
YEAH, YOU DID. JUST
BEFORE YOU TOOK HER CASE.
SHE SEEMED UPSET.
LIKE MAYBE SHE WAS
BACK TOO SOON.
THAT’S WHY I TOOK IT.
THAT’S NOT IMPOSSIBLE,
SHE’S BACK TOO SOON.
IF I’M WRONG, I’M WRONG.
IT’S NOT IMPOSSIBLE.
IT’S NOT JUST NARCOTICS,
RIGHT, ANDY?
THE WHOLE JOB,
PARTNERS ARE SUPPOSED
TO TRUST EACH OTHER.
THAT DEVELOPS IN TIME.
MEANWHILE, CAN WE DRIVE
TO SEE THIS BARTENDER?
THIS BARTENDER IS
A SHIFTY, DEVIOUS TYPE.
LENNY LOHMAN.
HE’LL ALWAYS GIVE YOU
SOMETHING,
JUST RARELY WHAT
YOU’RE LOOKIN’ FOR.
Woman: HEY!
WATCH IT!
HO, HO, HO. WHOA.
WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM?
DON’T BIKE
ON THE SIDEWALK.
YEAH, RIGHT. I’LL BE
SURE TO DO THAT.
WHAT?
I SAID I WON’T DO IT
AGAIN.
DO YOU SWEAR TO GOD?
Man: YEAH.
GOOD.
IN THE STREET.
ANY OTHER QUALITY‐OF‐LIFE
CRIMES YOU WANT TO ADDRESS?
NO.
LET’S GO.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYS]
MY FAVORITE MIDDLE‐AGED
DETECTIVE.
HOW’S IT GOING, LENNY?
I SEE THIS LAYING OUT
BEFORE ME.
HE BUYS A DRINK,
YOU COLLAR ME
FOR SERVING UNDERAGE.
OH, I’M LEGAL.
I’LL SHOW YOU
MY LICENSE.
MY NEW PARTNER
DANNY SORENSON.
HOW’S IT GOING, DANNY?
HEY, I HOPE YOU DON’T
MIND I KID WITH YOU.
NO, ANDY TOLD ME YOU WERE
A GREAT KIDDER.
YEAH.
WHERE’S YOUR CAR, LENNY?
MY CAR?
YEAH, WHERE’S
YOUR ’94 LUMINA?
OVER WHERE I LIVE.
YOU DIDN’T
DRIVE TO WORK TODAY?
IT’S 3 BLOCKS, DANNY.
PRINCE STREET.
OH, DON’T TELL ME
SOMETHING HAPPENED
WITH MY CAR.
IT WAS USED IN A DRIVE‐BY
THIS MORNING, LENNY.
NOW IT’S UNDER THE FDR
WITH 2 DOAs INSIDE.
DAMAGED?
YEAH, YOUR LUMINA’S
SOMEWHAT DAMAGED,
LENNY.
ANYBODY ELSE GOT A KEY
FOR IT?
SAY, YOU CAN CHALK
THIS UP AGAINST THAT
"FRIENDS DON’T LET
FRIENDS DRIVE DRUNK"
CAMPAIGN.
EVER SINCE PEOPLE
STARTED GRABBING MY KEYS
EVERY TIME I GOT
HALF A LOAD ON,
I KEEP A SPARE SET
IN THE WHEEL WELL.
SEE IF YOU RECOGNIZE
THESE DOAs.
THESE COULD BE TOTAL
STRANGERS, ANDY.
OFF THE SPARE SET BEING
IN THE WHEEL WELL.
YEAH, YOUR SPARE SET.
[SIGHS]
I DO RECOGNIZE HIM.
THAT’S FRANKIE PASCAL.
IT’S HIS COUSIN DOMINIC.
THEY DRANK HERE?
YOU GOT ANY SUSPECTS,
ANDY?
THESE GUYS WOULD BE
THE SUSPECTS IN
THE ORIGINAL SHOOTING,
BEFORE THEY THEMSELVES
GOT SHOT.
THE DEAD
PASCAL COUSINS?
YOU KNOW
JULIO DIAZ, LENNY?
WHO’S THAT NOW?
JULIO’S THE ORIGINAL
SHOOTING VICTIM.
AND THEN MAYBE HIS FRIENDS
WENT AFTER THE PASCALS.
JULIO DIAZ? NOPE,
DON’T RING A BELL.
I MEAN,
MAYBE IF I SEEN ’IM.
OR DID HE GET
KILLED, TOO?
NO, HE WASN’T KILLED.
HE GOT SHOT IN THE SHOULDER.
YOU KNOW. I’LL TELL YA,
THERE’S MORE PUERTO
RICAN ELEMENT AROUND ON
THE CORNERS HERE LATELY.
SLINGIN’ DOPE?
WHATEVER THE HELL IT IS
THEY DO OUT THERE.
PASCAL COUSINS
DO ANY DOPE SLINGIN’?
THAT STUFF’S A SCOURGE
I DON’T ALLOW
ON MY PREMISES, ANDY.
I’M NOT PRIVY
TO WHAT PEOPLE DO
ON THE OUTSIDE.
SO THAT WOULD BE A "MAYBE"
AS FAR AS THE PASCAL
SLINGIN’ DOPE.
I’LL TELL YA,
I’M SICK ABOUT MY CAR.
YOU MAY GET A DECENT SETTLEMENT
FROM THE INSURANCE, LENNY.
WELL, LUCKILY
I AM INSURED.
I BETTER GET THE WHEELS
TURNIN’ ON THAT.
ALL RIGHT, LENNY.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
WE ALL SWIM
IN THE SAME WATER.
WHILE YOU’RE PADDLIN’
AROUND THERE, LENNY,
ANYTHING THAT COMES TO MIND‐‐
IF MAYBE THE PASCALS GOT
ANOTHER COUSIN?
THERE WAS A BLOOD TRAIL
LEAVIN’ YOUR CAR.
YOU FIGURE
THIS WOUNDED GUY’S
STILL ON THE LOOSE?
AND HE MAY HAVE MASTERMINDED
THE THEFT OF YOUR CAR.
SO WE KNOW YOU WANNA
SEE HIM BROUGHT TO JUSTICE.
GOOD POINT.
TAKE CARE, LENNY.
HEY, IT’S A PLEASURE
MEETIN’ YA, DANNY.
YOU’RE WORKIN’ WITH ONE
OF THE BEST THERE.
NOW YOU WENT
AND MADE MY DAY.
YOU WANNA SHARE YOUR
LENNY LOHMAN IMPRESSION?
I’M INVITED?
HEY, DON’T BE GLIB.
LENNY WAS INVOLVED.
HE WASN’T THE GO‐TO GUY.
HELP ME
WITH "GO‐TO GUY."
HE WAS LIKE THE SCROUNGER
OR THE SUPPLY SERGEANT,
AND MAYBE HE SET UP THE HIT.
WHAT ARE YOU
DOIN’ THERE?
FEEL LIKE A TACK
CAUGHT IN MY SHOE.
HERE. HAVE IT. HERE.
I’M GONNA RUIN YOUR COMB.
YEAH.
THERE’S A BIG LOSS.
WERE YOU IN THE SERVICE?
YEAH. ARMY.
SUPPLY UNIT?
INFANTRY’S GOT SCROUNGERS,
TOO, ANDY.
YEAH, I WAS IN
THE INFANTRY, TOO.
OVERSEAS?
YEAH. WERE YOU OVERSEAS?
YEAH,
I WAS OVERSEAS, TOO.
AH! GOT IT.
THANKS.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT?
WHOA, WHOA, HEY!
WHOA. WHOA.
SIT DOWN THERE.
THIS IS BIG.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
LOHMAN GIVIN’ ME
HIS CARD?
GIVIN’ IT TO YOU PRIVATE.
WHAT? IS HE PLAYIN’ ME
FOR AMBITIOUS?
HE WANTS YOU GOIN’ BACK
IN THAT BAR ON YOUR OWN
EITHER FOR HIM TO DANGLE
SOME PIECE OF INFORMATION
IN FRONT OF YOU
OR TO GIVE YOU SOMEONE
TO LIKE FOR THE HITTERS.
AND THE INFORMATION
WON’T BE EXACTLY RIGHT.
IT’LL BE PARTIALLY RIGHT,
AND ENOUGH YOU’LL PUSH IT
FOR RIGHT ALTOGETHER
OFF YOU COMING UP
WITH THE LEAD.
I TOLD YA THIS GUY
WAS DEVIOUS.
HOW DO WE PLAY IT?
WHAT YOU DO, DANNY,
YOU GO IN THAT OFFICE,
YOU RUN
THIS COMPLETE SCENARIO,
’CAUSE HERE THE WHOLE SQUAD
GETS EVERYTHING WE GOT.
OK.
YOU ALL RIGHT WITH THAT?
YES, I AM.
ALL RIGHT, THEN.
YOU SHOWED ME SOMETHING
WITH THIS.
THAT WAS FORTHCOMING.
THANKS, ANDY.
THIS IS THE TYPE THING
REASSURES PEOPLE’S QUALMS.
GOOD.
MY ONLY QUESTION‐‐
WE RIDE ALL THE WAY
BACK TOGETHER.
WE’RE NEARLY
IN THE BOSS’ OFFICE,
WITH YOU KEEPIN’ THIS
TO YOURSELF.
YEAH. I WAS THAT LONG
FIGURING WHAT’S GONNA
GIVE LEAST OFFENSE.
HOW’S IT GOIN’?
HEY, BOSS.
RAP SHEET CAME IN
ON JULIO DIAZ.
THE ORIGINAL SHOOTIN’
VICTIM, THANKS.
THE VICTIM
ON YOUR ORIGINAL CASE.
HOW’D YOU DO
WITH THE BARTENDER?
SO, UH, WE’LL FOLLOW UP
ON THE LIST.
YEAH. KEEP CURRENT
WITH LATENT PRINT.
YEAH, WE’LL RUN THESE NAMES
THE BYSTANDERS GAVE US
THROUGH BCI.
THIS LENNY LOHMAN
WENT HIS USUAL
EXTRA MILE BEIN’ HELPFUL.
GAVE YOU NOTHIN’?
YEAH. HE GAVE US THIS.
HE GIVES US
THE 2 DEAD GUYS’ NAMES
AND SPECULATES THEY MIGHT
HAVE DRUG INVOLVEMENT,
BUT THEN HE
GOES TO PLAY SORENSON,
AND SORENSON
HANDLED HIM GOOD.
LOHMAN GAVE ME HIS CARD.
OFF THINKIN’
SORENSON’S LOOKIN’ OUT
FOR NUMBER ONE,
OFF THINKIN’
SORENSON’S LOOKIN’
TO MOVE HIMSELF UP.
JUST PLAYED
A WILD GUESS.
LOHMAN GIVE SORENSON
THE CARD...
WITHOUT MY KNOWIN’
ABOUT IT.
HE GAVE IT TO HIM
WITH MY BACK TURNED.
SORENSON TOLD ME
ABOUT THIS ON HIS OWN.
I GUESS LOHMAN
FIGURES HE CAN BEAT ME
WITH SOMETHIN’ LAME.
IT WON’T BE
ALL THE WAY LAME.
NO. ANDY WAS SAYIN’.
THEY’LL GIVE YOU
SOME MINNOWS OR SOMETHIN’
TO GET YOU THERE.
YEAH. THAT’S HOW THEY DO IT.
YOU WANT ME TO
CALL LOHMAN, BOSS,
OR SHOW UP BACK THERE COLD?
HE’LL PROBABLY
BE MORE COMFORTABLE
WITH YOU
GOIN’ BACK THERE.
SYLVIA’S HERE.
COULD I LISTEN TO THE NAMES
YOU GOT ON CANVAS
AND WHAT THEIR ACTS ARE?
HI, SYLVIA.
I WAS JUST IN THERE
WORKING A COMPLICATED CASE
WITH MY NEW PARTNER.
THAT’S YOUR
NEW PARTNER?
YEAH, THE 14‐YEAR‐OLD.
HE LOOKS VERY NICE.
ALTHOUGH, UM,
HE HAD TO BE
IN UNIFORM A WHILE.
2 YEARS IN NARCOTICS.
NOW HE TELLS ME
HE WAS IN THE SERVICE.
PROBABLY NOT 14.
ANYWAYS, I DIDN’T THINK
YOU WERE RIDING TODAY.
I WANTED TO TALK
TO YOU.
WHAT’D I DO?
I’M WORRIED
ABOUT SOMETHING
I MIGHT HAVE DONE.
I GOT ANOTHER LETTER
FROM JUAN SUAREZ.
OH, ONE MORE REASON
TO KEEP HANDWRITING
INSTRUCTION OPTIONAL.
I ALWAYS
HAD MISGIVINGS
ABOUT THAT
PROSECUTION, ANDY.
AND I DO RECALL
YOUR SAYING THAT
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS
SINCE WE MET.
THIS ISN’T FUNNY.
I’M NOT MAKING IT
FUNNY.
WHAT DOES SUAREZ SAY?
THAT HE WAS A PATSY
BECAUSE HE WAS
THE OBVIOUS SUSPECT.
HE HAD SWORN TO KILL
GENERO LOPEZ
AFTER LOPEZ
KILLED HIS BROTHER.
HOW’S THE GUY A PATSY,
SYLVIA, IF HE CONFESSED
HE DID IT?
WHAT’S NEW IS SUAREZ
ISN’T CLAIMING
ANYMORE
THAT HIS CONFESSION
WAS COERCED.
HE’S SAYING
THE REAL SHOOTER
WAS A DRUG DEALER
NAMED
FREDDY ASCENSION
WHO GOT HIM TO SAY
THAT HE DID IT.
YEAH‐‐
SUAREZ AGREEING
TO HELP FREDDY OUT
FIGURING IN JAIL
HE’D LEARN A NEW TRADE?
SUAREZ AGREED
BECAUSE THE DRUG
DEALER
PROMISED TO GIVE
HIS FAMILY $1,000
A MONTH,
AND BECAUSE HE WAS
PROBABLY GOING TO BE
ARRESTED ANYWAY.
SYLVIA, YOU KNOW,
YOU CAN BUY
5 OF THESE STORIES
ON EVERY TIER
AT RIKERS.
ANDY, THE VICTIM
WAS A DOPE SLINGER
WHO HAD BEEN
INVOLVED IN 3
PREVIOUS SHOOTINGS.
AND WHAT WAS SUAREZ?
IN HIS LAST YEAR
STUDYING FOR BRAIN SURGERY?
NO.
SUAREZ WAS
AN APPRENTICE
MOTOR MAN
WHO’D LOST HIS JOB
BECAUSE HE TOOK
ONE COLLAR FOR USE.
JEEZ, I’M SORRY
I MISSED RIDING HIS TRAIN.
AND NOW HE’S AFRAID
THAT ASCENCION’S
GOT SOMEONE INSIDE
WHO WILL TRY
TO KILL HIM.
AW, SYLVIA.
SUAREZ IS DOING
15 YEARS,
AND I’M AFRAID THAT
HE ISN’T GUILTY.
AND NOW HE MIGHT
GET KILLED.
I’D JUST LIKE
FOR YOU
TO TALK TO
THE DETECTIVE,
DORNAN,
WHO TOOK
THE CONFESSION.
JUST LOOK INTO IT
THAT FAR.
THE BLACK GUY
WHO’S NOW A SERGEANT?
ARE YOU FRIENDLY
WITH HIM?
OH, YEAH, YEAH.
WE’RE GOING WHITE‐WATER
RAFTING
AS SOON AS OUR SCHEDULES
COINCIDE.
AND YOU WANT ME
TO ASK DORNAN WHAT?
DOES HE FEEL
THAT HE PUT
A WRONG MAN IN JAIL?
NONE
OF THE WITNESSES
DESCRIBE
THE PERPETRATOR
AS WITHIN 4 INCHES
OF SUAREZ’ HEIGHT.
I’M NOT GOING
TO GET INTO THAT
WITH HIM, SYLVIA.
THEN COULD YOU ASK
IF ANYONE MENTIONED
FREDDY ASCENSION’S
NAME?
NO. THAT’S ACCUSING
THIS GUY OF INCOMPETENCE,
AND I’M JUST
NOT GOING TO DO IT.
ALL RIGHT.
MAYBE I CAN SIDLE
INTO IT.
DID SUAREZ
GIVE IT UP EASY?
WAS THAT DORNAN’S
IMPRESSION ON HOW
HE CONFESSED?
MAYBE I CAN GO THAT FAR.
COULD YOU DO THAT?
YEAH, LET ME DO THAT.
I WOULD BE
VERY GRATEFUL, ANDY.
MY PLEASURE.
I’VE GOT TO GO
PICK THEO UP
AT DAY CARE.
YEAH, YOU GO PICK UP THEO
AND LET ME
SOLIDIFY MY RELATIONS
WITH ONE OF MY BLACK
FELLOW LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS.
DETECTIVE,
THEY’RE BRINGING
THE ORIGINAL
SHOOTING VICTIM
ON YOUR CASE UP TO
THE POKEY ROOM.
THANKS.
JULIO’S BACK
FROM THE HOSPITAL.
IT’S PROBABLY GOOD
TO CHAT HIM UP BEFORE
I GO STOP IN ON LENNY.
GET STARTED WITH HIM.
I’LL BE IN IN A MINUTE.
POKEY ROOM’S
DOWN THE HALL?
FIRST DOOR
ON YOUR RIGHT.
HEY.
HEY, JAMES.
[SIGHS]
I’M STANDING HERE
WOOLGATHERING.
LOOKS LIKE
YOU’RE TAKING A LEAK.
SO THE NEW GUY IS,
UH, INTERVIEWING
THE VICTIM
FROM THE ORIGINAL
CRIME SCENE, HUH?
YEAH. JULIO DIAZ.
I GUESS HE’S
INTERVIEWING HIM
IN THE POKEY ROOM.
AW, HE SEEMS OK.
WHAT, THIS SORENSON DOES?
I MEAN,
THE IMPRESSION I GET
IS HE FEELS
PRETTY GOOD
ABOUT HIMSELF.
I GUESS YOU WANT THAT.
YEAH,
YOU WANT AN AMOUNT
OF ASSERTIVENESS.
HE’S NO
BOBBY SIMONE.
NO, THAT’S FOR SURE.
HE’S NOT.
UH, BOBBY HAD
A QUALITY ABOUT HIM.
OH, YEAH.
YEAH.
HE HAD A‐‐
A LIKABILITY,
BUT HE ALSO BROOKED
NO NONSENSE.
YEAH. WELL,
I WAS GLAD ENOUGH
THAT SORENSON CAME UP
WITH THAT CARD.
THAT HE DON’T TURN OUT
NO GLORY HOUND.
I’M WONDERING
WHAT KIND
OF AN INTERVIEW
HE RUNS.
YOU WANT
TO TAKE A LOOK?
WELL, IF THEY’RE
IN A POKEY ROOM,
WE COULD, UH,
WE COULD WATCH
THROUGH OBSERVATION.
YOU TOLD ME THEY WERE
IN THE POKEY ROOM.
YEAH. THEN WE COULD
TAKE A LOOK.
I MEAN, WHAT’S
THE PROGRESS HERE?
I’M SHOT,
I GIVE YOU THE LIST
YOU ASK FOR,
YOU SIT STARING
LIKE AN OWL.
SEE, I GOT TO FIGURE
THE NAMES ON YOUR LIST
ARE YOUR CHUMS
FROM PRESCHOOL, JULIO,
’CAUSE NOT ONE OF THEM
SHOWS UP ON THE LIST
WE GOT.
THEN YOU GOT
A WRONG LIST.
WELL, SEE,
OUR LIST IS BUDDIES
THAT YOU’VE BEEN
COLLARED WITH BEFORE,
AND I’M BETTING
SOME OF THEM
WERE IN THE STREET
WITH YOU TODAY.
I WAS UNACCOMPANIED
OUT THERE.
I’M BETTING AFTER DOM PASCAL
AND HIS COUSIN VIN SHOOT YOU,
YOUR BOYS JUMP
IN THEIR BEAT‐UP
GOLD ACCORD
AND RUN VIN AND DOM DOWN
UNDER THE FDR.
HOW WOULD I KNOW
ABOUT THE FDR
IF I’M SITTING
IN THE STREET
WITH A SHOT‐UP
SHOULDER, HUH?
NAME A BAR YOU DRINK AT.
WHAT?
I WANT TO CHECK UP
ON YOUR FRIENDS.
YOU GOT NOTHING TO GIVE ME.
NAME A BAR YOU HANG.
NAME ONE I DON’T.
NAME ONE YOU DO.
TOMMY’S ROCKER.
IF THESE PLACES
NEVER HEARD OF YOU,
THAT’S GOING TO BE
YOUR GOOD SHOULDER, JULIO.
GIVE ME ANOTHER BAR.
THE BASEMENT.
THE BASEMENT?
WHO’S THE BARTENDER?
I DON’T KNOW.
LENNY SOMETHING.
THIS LENNY’S
GOING TO KNOW YOU?
YEAH, HE’LL KNOW ME.
I DON’T THINK HE’LL
SAY HE LOVES ME.
OH, THAT’S HARD
TO IMAGINE.
PROBABLY HE DON’T
KNOW YOU THAT GOOD.
YEAH, WE JUST BEEN
MAKING ACQUAINTANCE.
MAINLY,
I GO IN TO PISS.
ALL RIGHT,
IN THE CAGE FOR AWHILE.
FOR WHAT?
FOR BREAKING BALLS.
YOU GIVE ME
NO COOPERATION,
I’M GOING TO RUN YOU
FOR WANTS
IN EVERY JURISDICTION
IN AMERICA.
MAN, GO OUT AND GET SHOT
IN THE STREET.
YEAH, WHY DON’T YOU
WRITE THAT UP
FOR READER’S DIGEST?
"MY WORST DAY EVER
SO FAR" BY JULIO.
HI, DANNY.
HI, LENNY.
THANKS FOR YOUR CARD.
FAR AS THE CARD,
LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING.
MY RELATIONS
WITH YOUR JOB.
PLEASE.
I’M NO SAINT.
I HAVEN’T LED
A PERFECT LIFE.
WHO AMONGST US HAS,
LENNY.
IF I SHOW
COOPERATION,
HELP SOMEONE
PLANT HIS FLAG
IN A NEW SITUATION,
TIME COMES
I MAKE A MISTAKE,
I HOPE FOR
A SIMILAR ATTITUDE.
SO YOUR GOING TO HELP ME
PLANT MY FLAG?
THIS WAS
DRUG‐RELATED.
THIS SHOOTING YOU’RE
INVESTIGATING.
IT WAS?
THIS WAS
DRUG‐RELATED,
AND I PREVIOUSLY
HEARD
THOSE PASCAL COUSINS
SAYING
THAT THEY WERE
HAVING TROUBLE
WITH BOTH JULIOS.
BOTH JULIOS?
BOTH JULIOS.
CORRECT.
MEANING THE GUY WE WANT
FOR SHOOTING THE PASCALS
AFTER THE PASCALS
SHOOT THIS ONE JULIO,
HE’S PROBABLY
NAMED JULIO ALSO?
CHECK OUT
THIS JULIO DIAZ’S
RUNNING BUDDIES
FOR ANOTHER JULIO.
HE COULD
VERY WELL BE
YOUR PAYBACK SHOOTER
WHEN THE PASCALS
GOT HIT IN MY
STOLEN CAR.
LENNY,
YOU TELL ME
A PUERTO RICAN
MIGHT HAVE A FRIEND
NAMED JULIO
AND I’M SUPPOSED
TO MAKE THAT COOPERATION?
WHAT I’M
TELLING YOU, DANNY,
I SPECIFICALLY HEARD
THE PASCALS SAY
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND WHAT I’M
TELLING YOU, LENNY,
I THINK THE PASCALS
DIDN’T STEAL YOUR CAR.
I THINK YOU TOLD THEM
WHERE THE SPARE KEY WAS,
’CAUSE MAYBE YOUR RIDE
WAS A LITTLE BIT DENTED UP,
AND YOU WANTED
TO COLLECT BLUE BOOK
FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY,
AND YOU DIDN’T LIKE
PUERTO RICAN DEALERS
PISSING IN YOUR MEN’S ROOM.
GINGER ALE, PLEASE.
I THINK THE PASCALS
ARE WHERE YOU GOT
HELP FOR ME.
I FEEL LIKE YOU CAN PUT ME
WITH THE THIRD GUY
IN YOUR CAR.
THAT’S NOT THE CASE.
AH!
YOU PROVIDED THE CAR.
WHERE’S HE GOT LEVERAGE
FOR HELP?
I’M NO RAT.
WE GOT TO FIND A WAY.
WHEN I COME UP
WITH THE THIRD GUY
AND HE GIVES YOU TO ME
FOR PROVIDING THE CAR,
I DON’T HAVE TO LOCK YOU UP
FOR ACTING IN CONCERT
IN A MURDER.
FINISH WITH HIM,
I DON’T NEED A GINGER ALE.
SO HOW ABOUT YOU MAKE
AN ANONYMOUS CALL
TO MY SQUAD,
ASK FOR THE NEXT
DETECTIVE WHO’S CATCHING,
AND TELL HER WHERE TO FIND
THIS THIRD GUY,
BUT DON’T TELL HER
HE’S CONNECTED WITH OUR CASE.
JUST SAY YOU SAW A GUY
LOOK LIKE HE’D BEEN SHOT,
TELL HER WHERE
TO PICK HIM UP.
DANNY, YOU’RE
ASSUMING I KNOW
WHERE THIS THIRD GUY
WOULD BE.
YEAH, I’M MAKING
THAT ASSUMPTION.
THEN I’LL BE RIGHT
WITH YOU GUYS?
RIGHT AS SNOW
ON CHRISTMAS.
GOOD, NOW I’VE GOT
4 DETECTIVES
ON A BUM STEER.
I’VE GOT HIM.
WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
TOMMY CIANFROCCO.
HOW’D YOU GET HURT,
TOMMY?
NOT WITH THE PASCALS.
NOT WITH
THE PASCALS.
I DIDN’T HAVE NOTHING
TO DO WITH THAT.
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT.
THIS ONE’S HIS, TOO.
IT’S NOT HIS
UNLESS HE ASKS FOR IT.
AND IT WON’T
GET LIGHT OUT UNLESS
THE SUN COMES UP.
MY EARS ARE BURNING.
YOU GOT HIM?
YEAH, I GOT HIM.
YEAH, WE GOT HIM.
FOR NOW.
THIS IS LIKE
A NIGHTMARE.
I’M SHOT DRIVING
MERELY WITH MY FRIENDS.
HOW’D IT ALL HAPPEN,
TOMMY?
ALL I CAN IMAGINE‐‐
DOMINIC, FRANKIE, AND I
GET MISTOOK
FOR OTHER PEOPLE.
EVERYONE
MISTOOK YOU?
THE SHOOTERS
THAT GOT YOU
AND ALL
THE EYEWITNESSES
WHERE THIS OTHER GUY
GOT SHOT?
I’M NOT SAYING
THIS DON’T LOOK BAD
OR I’M NOT WILLING
TO COOPERATE.
WHEN YOU’RE DONE
TALKING TO THE BOSS,
TOMMY’LL BE
IN INTERVIEW 3.
HEY, DORNAN.
SIPOWICZ.
GOT TO TALK TO THIS GUY
FOR MY WIFE.
DANNY SORENSON,
SARGE.
YEAH, DANNY SORENSON.
YEAH, BILL DORNAN.
YOUR WIFE?
COME ON. WE’LL TALK
IN THE COFFEE ROOM.
GOT A MEETING
I GOT TO GET TO.
YEAH, THIS WON’T
TAKE LONG.
SORRY ABOUT YOUR PARTNER.
APPRECIATE THAT.
WOUNDED GUY
RUSSELL GRABBED UP,
HE LOOKS GOOD
FOR BEING THE THIRD MAN
WHO SHOT JULIO DIAZ,
BOSS.
OFF THAT ANONYMOUS
PHONE TIP.
NAME’S
TOMMY CIANFROCCO.
HE LOOKS GOOD
FOR BEING IN THE CAR
WITH THE PASCAL
COUSINS.
THAT WOULD MAKE IT PART
OF YOUR INVESTIGATION.
SHALL I TELL RUSSELL
YOU WANT THE INTERVIEW?
ACTUALLY, BEING WE’RE
ON AN UPPER FLOOR,
I’D LIKE TO AVOID
JUMPING THE SAME
DETECTIVE’S CASE
TWICE IN MY FIRST SHIFT.
I’LL HAVE DIANE
TALK TO THE GUY.
THEY’RE IN INTERVIEW 3,
WHEREVER THE HELL
THAT IS.
HA. ANDY SAY
HE WAS EXPECTING
SERGEANT DORNAN?
NO, I DON’T KNOW
WHAT THAT’S ABOUT.
SO BEFORE
YOUR PROMOTION,
WHEN YOU WERE JUST
A LOWLY DETECTIVE,
YOU COLLARED A GUY
FOR A HOMICIDE,
UH, NAMED
JUAN SUAREZ.
YEAH, HE SHOT A GUY
IN FRONT OF A BODEGA.
GOT 15 YEARS.
HOW WELL DO YOU
REMEMBER THAT CASE?
WHY DO YOU
WANT TO KNOW?
KEEP THE DOMESTIC
TRANQUILLITY.
MY WIFE’S
SYLVIA COSTAS.
SHE’S THE A.D.A.
PROSECUTED THE CASE.
YEAH, I REMEMBER
WHO PROSECUTED THE CASE.
WHEN’D SHE GET MARRIED
TO YOU?
DORNAN,
I SWEAR TO GOD,
I GOT NO AX
TO GRIND HERE.
IT’S JUST SYLVIA’S
GOT THE IDEA
THAT MAYBE
THIS SUAREZ
WAS A PATSY.
DIDN’T ACTUALLY
DO THE SHOOTING.
GOT A IDEA
A LITTLE LATE.
SUAREZ IS WRITING
HER LETTERS
FROM PRISON.
HE’S GOT HER
PERSUADED
THAT HE WAS BOUGHT
TO TAKE THE RAP
OFF HIM BEING
BROTHERS
WITH THE GUY
THAT THE DOA HIT.
HOW ABOUT HE DID IT
OFF THE SAME MOTIVE?
DOA HAD MURDERED
HIS BROTHER?
HE’S PEDDLING
THE DOA WAS MURDERED
OVER SLINGING
DRUGS.
THE DEALERS
THAT DID IT
COME TO HIM
OFFERING HIM MONEY
IF HE’D TAKE
THE FALL.
HE GAVE IT UP TOUGH.
ARE YOU SAYING
I SHOULD’VE TALKED HIM
OUT OF IT?
NO, I’M NOT,
AND I’M NOT SAYING
YOU SHOULD’VE
THROWN BACK
A GROUND BALL
CLEARANCE.
I’M ONLY ASKING IF,
IN THE LIGHT OF
THESE RESERVATIONS,
DO YOU THINK
IT’S POSSIBLE
THAT MAYBE THIS
SUAREZ’S CONFESSION
WAS BOUGHT?
WANT ME TO SAY THAT
TO KEEP YOUR WIFE HAPPY?
I WANT YOU TO SAY IT
IF, LOOKING BACK,
YOU THINK
MAYBE THIS GUY
GAVE IT UP TOO EASY.
HOW WOULD I KNOW THAT?
[SIGHS] FOR EXAMPLE,
BETWEEN YOU, ME,
AND THE DOORPOST,
WHAT KIND OF TUNE‐UP
DID YOU GIVE HIM
BEFORE HE CONFESSED?
WHAT KIND OF TUNE‐UP?
OH, FOR GOD SAKES,
DORNAN.
DID YOU AND ME BUILD UP
SOME BIG PERSONAL TRUST
I’VE FORGOTTEN ABOUT?
I’M ASKING YOU
ONE COP TO ANOTHER.
ONE COP TO ANOTHER.
YOU BEING THE COP.
WHEN I’M WALKING
INTO THE COURTHOUSE
BUILDING,
TESTIFYING
ON ANOTHER CASE,
YOU WERE WALKING OUT.
YOU SAW A BLACK MAN
PANHANDLING.
YOU ASK HIM
IF HE WAS RAISING MONEY
FOR THE UNITED NEGRO
PIZZA FUND.
HOW LONG AGO
DID THAT HAPPEN?
6 1/2 YEARS.
SO IF I APOLOGIZE
FOR OFFENDING YOU
6 1/2 YEARS AGO,
WHEN I DIDN’T
EVEN KNOW YOU WERE
IN THE CITY LIMITS,
WITH THAT GOOD
MEMORY YOU GOT,
DO YOU THINK
THAT YOU COULD
GIVE ME THE COURTESY
OF A STRAIGHT ANSWER
ON THIS GUY’S
CONFESSION?
EVEN IF IT MAKES IT LOOK
LIKE I MESSED UP?
IT’S NOT GOING
TO MAKE YOU LOOK
LIKE YOU MESSED UP.
HOW’S IT GOING TO MAKE
YOU LOOK LIKE THAT
IF THIS INFORMATION
DIDN’T SURFACE
TILL 3 YEARS LATER?
THIS CONFESSION SEEMED
VERY CREDIBLE TO ME.
FINE. THAT’S
THE PUBLIC POSITION.
IT’S MY POSITION,
PERIOD.
HIS CONFESSION
SEEMED CREDIBLE.
THAT’S WHY
I WENT FORWARD.
ANYWAY, YOU GOT
A MEETING TO GET TO.
THANKS FOR TAKING
THE TIME.
BOTH ON THE SAME JOB.
HI.
HI.
HOW’S THE LITTLE GUY?
OH. THEO’S
GOT A FEVER.
HOW HIGH?
101.
HE HAD A VACCINATION
YESTERDAY,
AND DR. MELMAN
THINKS THAT HE MAY
BE REACTING TO THAT.
SO THERE’S NO MEDICINE
YOU NEED HIM TO SWALLOW?
HA. ANDY, YOU TRYING
TO MAKE HIM LAUGH
WITH YOUR
STUPID SINGING
SO I CAN SHOVE
MEDICINE
DOWN HIS THROAT
COULD
HAVE REPERCUSSIONS
WHEN HE GROWS UP.
SO WHEN HE’S AN ADULT
AND HE HEARS
WHEN IRISH EYES
ARE SMILING,
HE’S GOING TO PUNCH
THE SINGER IN THE NOSE
AND DON’T KNOW WHY?
ANYWAYS, ON YOUR INTEREST
IN THAT SUAREZ CASE,
I DID TALK
TO BILL DORNAN.
WHAT’D HE TELL YOU
ABOUT IT?
UH, I WISH I COULD
GIVE YOU A BETTER SENSE
ON THAT, SYLVIA,
BUT, UH...
WHATEVER DORNAN THINKS,
HE‐‐
HE JUST AIN’T TELLING ME.
OK.
I, UH, WENT AROUND
WITH HIM ON IT,
AND, A‐‐
THE GUY JUST DON’T
TRUST ME THAT MUCH,
AND, B‐‐
EVEN IF HE DID,
YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND
THAT, UH, COP’S FIGURE
THE SMALL CHANCE A GUY
DIDN’T DO SOMETHING
ON SOMETHING
HE’S LOCKED UP FOR,
9 TIMES OUT OF 10
THERE’S SOMETHING ELSE
THAT HE DID DO
THAT HE SHOULD’VE
BEEN LOCKED UP FOR
AND HE WASN’T.
YOU REOPENED
THE COLEMAN CASE
AND WORKED
TO GET HIM CLEARED.
HA. I REOPENED
THE COLEMAN CASE
NOT OUT OF NO KEEN
SENSE OF JUSTICE, SYLVIA.
I DID IT BECAUSE
I JUST STOPPED DRINKING
AND I WAS HYPERSENSITIVE
AND I‐‐I DIDN’T
WANT NOBODY,
EVEN IF THEY WERE SKELLS,
THINKING THAT I GAVE THEM
A BUM SHAKE.
IF YOU WANT ME TO,
SYLVIA,
I‐I’LL LOOK
INTO IT FURTHER.
I’M LOOKING
INTO IT FURTHER
WHETHER YOU DO OR NOT.
FINE. GOOD. 2 HEADS
ARE BETTER THAN ONE.
MM‐HMM.
UNLESS THEY’RE
ON THE SAME PERSON.
THANK YOU, ANDY.
YOU’RE WELCOME.
HOW DO YOU LIKE
YOUR NEW PARTNER?
HE, UH, HE‐‐HE’S GOT
A LOT ON THE BALL.
RUSSELL, OF COURSE,
HAS HER RESERVATIONS.
YEAH, I EXPECT
SHE WOULD.
YEAH.
THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.
WITH BOBBY PASSING,
SHE’D HAVE
RESERVATIONS
HIM BEING REPLACED
BY SHERLOCK HOLMES.
WHICH,
THERE’S NO NEED YET,
CONFUSING THIS GUY
WITH HIM ANYWAY.
I’LL TELL YOU,
THOUGH,
CERTAIN TRAITS
REMIND ME
OF ANDY JR.
IF HE REMINDS YOU
OF ANDY JR.,
HE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE
SHERLOCK HOLMES.
JUST SOME SUPERFICIAL
TRAITS, YOU KNOW.
LIKE, HE GETS THIS‐‐
THIS HALF‐TROUBLEMAKER
GRIN,
IT REMINDS ME OF HIM.
[SIGHS]
YOU WANT TO KNOW
IF THEY’RE
FUNDAMENTAL.
NONE OF THAT’S
DECIDED YET,
LIKE THIS WHOLE
SUAREZ MATTER.
SORRY, I FORGOT
TO LOCK IT.
ANY PROGRESS
ON THAT MUTT?
HE CAN’T GIVE IT UP
FAST ENOUGH.
GOOD.
SAYS HIM AND THE PASCALS
WERE LOOKING TO HIT
THIS JULIO DIAZ
AND ANOTHER DEALER
NAMED RINCON.
WHAT’S THE OTHER
DEALER’S FIRST NAME?
WHY? AM I GETTING
GRADED?
NO. IT DON’T MATTER.
JULIO.
SO AT WHAT POINT
DO YOU GET A LOCKER
IN THIS SQUAD?
YOU’D WANT TO TAKE THAT UP
WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
ANYWAYS.
NIGHT, DIANE.
YEAH, GOOD NIGHT,
DANNY.
DIANE,
I’M SORRY
FOR YOUR LOSS.
YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT MY LOSS.
YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT HIM.
NIGHT.
DRAFT, PLEASE.
YOU WANT TO CARD ME?
YOU GOT ANY OTHER PROBLEMS
WITH MY ORDER?
NO.
GOOD. I’M ON A ROLL.
HI, GREG.
YOU‐‐YOU WANT ME
TO MAKE THE COFFEE?
NO, I GOT IT.
THAT’S‐‐THAT’S
A VERY TYPICAL RESPONSE
TO MY BREWING OFFERS.
HI.
HI, JILL.
WELL, UH...
WELCOME BACK,
IF THAT’S
NOT INAPPROPRIATE.
UM...
I DID THAT.
GOTTA START SOMEWHERE.
THANKS.
SQUAD’S UPSTAIRS?
YEAH, WHAT DO YOU NEED?
I’M ASSIGNED UP THERE.
ME, TOO.
SO THAT’S WHAT
THE 14‐YEAR‐OLDS
ARE WEARING NOW?
YEAH, ME AND ALL MY PALS.
ANDY SIPOWICZ.
DANNY SORENSON.
HOW’S IT GOING, ANDY?
BOSS IS ARTHUR FANCY.
GOOD. THANKS.
THIS IS DANNY SORENSON.
EVIDENTLY,
HE’S NEW ON THE SQUAD.
DOLORES.
HOW DO YOU DO?
HI, DOLORES.
I’M GOING TO GO
MEET THE BOSS.
DANNY SORENSON, LIEUTENANT.
ARTHUR FANCY.
GOOD TO MEET YOU, DANNY.
GOOD TO MEET YOU.
COULD YOU SHUT THE DOOR?
SO, UH...
THE TEAM YOU’RE JOINING
JUST LOST A GUY.
BOBBY SIMONE?
YEAH. DID YOU KNOW BOBBY?
NO, I DIDN’T.
BOBBY WAS MARRIED
TO ANOTHER DETECTIVE
IN THE SQUAD...
DIANE RUSSELL.
AND THEY WERE
IN THE SAME SQUAD?
YOU GOT A PROBLEM
WITH THAT?
NO, NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I JUST THOUGHT THE JOB
HAD A POLICY AGAINST THAT.
YEAH. THERE WAS NO
OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION
TO THE JOB.
ANYWAY, UH...
DIANE’S JUST BACK.
OBVIOUSLY, SHE’S STILL
PRETTY RAW.
THEN WHO WAS BOBBY
PARTNERED WITH?
ANDY SIPOWICZ.
I MET ANDY COMIN’ UP.
YEAH...ANDY’S PRETTY
RAW, TOO.
ACTUALLY, I GUESS
WE’RE ALL PRETTY RAW.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
15th SQUAD.
UM‐HMM.
SO, UH,
NOT LIKELY TO DIE.
ALL RIGHT, GOT IT.
SAY, YOU WANT
TO CATCH RIGHT AWAY?
GET OUT ON THE STREET?
DEFINITELY.
ALL RIGHT, LET’S GET YOU
OUT ON THE STREET.
TAKE THIS DESK HERE,
BOSS?
YEAH. YEAH.
UM, THIS IS
DANNY SORENSON.
GREG MEDAVOY.
PLEASED TO MEET YOU,
GREG.
UH, THIS IS MY PARTNER
JAMES MARTINEZ.
HOW’S IT GOING?
Martinez: THAT’S
JILL KIRKENDALL.
HI, DANNY.
Sorenson: GOOD
TO MEET YOU, JILL.
HI. DIANE RUSSELL.
DIANE...
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
Fancy: ANDY YOU KNOW.
YEAH, ME AND ANDY,
WE ALREADY MET.
WE GOT A SINGLE GUNSHOT
VICTIM, NOT LIKELY TO DIE.
UH, SORENSON,
TAKE WITH SIPOWICZ.
YOU A FROG GUY, ANDY?
I GOT 2 FROGS
ON MY DESK.
IF THAT MAKES ME
A "FROG GUY,"
I DON’T KNOW.
AH, STOP, STOP, HERE.
SURE.
THAT RUSSELL YOU MET,
FEMALE DETECTIVE.
DIANE?
[CLEARS THROAT]
SHE HAD AN ATTACHMENT
WITH THE DETECTIVE
WHOSE SPOT YOU’RE
TAKING‐‐BOBBY SIMONE.
THE BOSS SAID
THEY WERE MARRIED.
SO YOU KNOW, EVIDENTLY,
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO,
WHY YOU CONSISTENTLY
INTERRUPT, HMM?
NO, ANDY, I WAS MORE LIKE
SHARING THE SMALL TIDBITS
I KNEW ABOUT THE SUBJECT.
BUT I’VE SAID MY PIECE NOW.
SIMONE DIED.
SIMONE DIED,
THEY WERE MARRIED,
THIS IS HER FIRST DAY
BACK.
TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT.
GOT IT.
MAKE A TON OF NARCOTIC
BUSTS IN THIS AREA?
A COUPLE.
HEY, MORNING, CAGE.
HEY, HOW’S LIFE WITH
A GOLD SHIELD, DANNY?
IT’S GOOD. IT’S GOOD.
WHAT HAVE WE GOT?
JULIO DIAZ,
SHOT IN THE ARM,
SAYS IT WAS A DRIVE BY.
ONLY ONE GUY IN THE CAR.
THAT’S ALL HE’S GOT?
THAT’S ALL HE HAD
FOR ME.
JULIO DIAZ?
YEAH.
HEY, HOW’D YOU
GET SHOT, JULIO?
OH, CRAZY GUY
IN A CAR, MAN.
OH, CRAZY GUY YOU
WERE ACQUAINTED WITH?
NAH, CAME OUT
OF NOWHERE.
AND DECIDED TO SHOOT YOU?
MUST BE ON DRUGS, MAN.
WHAT’S THIS GUY’S CAR
LOOK LIKE?
Ramirez: I DON’T KNOW,
GRAY, GOLD, I’M BLANKING.
OH, YEAH, THAT‐‐THAT’S
UNDERSTANDABLE,
’CAUSE, YOU KNOW,
YOU’RE SO UPSET.
I’M IN PAIN RIGHT NOW,
MAN. I GOT SHOT.
FEEL BETTER.
HEY, YOU IN THE HAT!
HOW DO I KNOW YOU?
WHAT?
I’VE SEEN YOU BEFORE.
WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
MAN, I WAS
JUST WALKING BY.
GET OVER THERE.
GET OVER THERE
AND GET SOME I. D. OUT.
MAN!
GET DOWN.
HAVE I EVER DEALT
WITH YOU BEFORE?
NAH, I STAY OUT
OF TROUBLE.
"DAVID FERNANDO LOBO."
YOU GOT A STREET NAME?
FLACO.
YEAH, YOU HOLDIN’
OUT, FLACO?
NO.
YOU AUTHORIZING ME
TO SEARCH YOU?
YEAH, MAN, I’M CLEAN.
EMPTY YOUR POCKETS.
Sorenson: COME ON, COME ON!
EMPTY YOUR POCKETS.
THIS WAS A DRUG THING,
DANNY,
3 GUYS IN A CAR
COME DOWN ON THE 4
IN THE STREET.
THIS GUY GOT SHOT,
HIS BOYS GO AFTER
THE DRIVE‐BY CAR.
SPREAD YOUR LEGS. COME ON,
YOU HIDIN’ SOMETHING?
WHAT KIND OF RIDES?
THE DRIVE‐BY CAR’S
A BLUE CHEVY.
THE FIRST 3 LETTERS
ON THE PLATE IS Q‐A‐G.
THE GUY WHO GOT SHOT,
HIS BOYS CHASED AFTER
THE CHEVY,
LIKE IN A BEAT‐UP,
UH, GOLD ACCORD.
I DIDN’T GET NO PLATES.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON,
PICK UP YOUR STUFF
AND GET OUT OF HERE.
GIVE HIM HIS WALLET, ANDY.
YES, SIR.
GO TELL DANNY
CONGRATULATIONS
ON HIS PROMOTION.
YEAH, I’LL GET RIGHT
ON IT.
YOU GOT NO FRIENDS,
JULIO?
YEAH, I GOT FRIENDS.
NOBODY WAS HANGING
WITH YOU, THOUGH,
WHEN THE SOLE OPERATOR
OF THIS GRAY OR GOLD CAR
STARTED
THROWING BULLETS?
NO.
OWW!
ALL RIGHT, LOOK,
THIS POLICEMAN
IS GOING WITH YOU
WHILE YOU GET SEEN
TO AT THE HOSPITAL.
THEN HE’S BRINGING
YOU OVER TO OUR SQUAD.
WHEN YOU GET THERE,
I WANT THE NAMES OF
YOUR 5 MAIN RUNNIN’
BUDDIES.
AND THEY BETTER SQUARE
WITH WHAT I’M GOING TO
KNOW ABOUT YOU BY THEN.
WE GOT A GAME, JULIO?
YEAH, PEPE.
ATTABOY.
DETECTIVES, CAN I TALK
TO YOU A MINUTE?
WE GOT A DOUBLE HOMICIDE
ON THE FDR DRIVE.
2 DOAs IN A BLUE CHEVY.
THAT’S GONNA BE
THESE SHOOTERS.
I DON’T HAVE I. D.
ON EITHER OF THEM.
SOMEBODY SURE WANTED THESE
GUYS DEAD, HUH, DIANE?
LOOKS LIKE A DOZEN HOLES
IN THE DOOR ALONE.
UH, BLOOD TRAIL,
LIEU.
UH, PAST THE 2 DOAs,
IT LOOKS LIKE A THIRD PERSON
WAS HIT THAT GOT AWAY.
ANDY AND THE NEW GUY
SORENSON ARE ON THEIR
WAY OVER.
DUST OFF
THE LICENSE PLATE HERE,
MATCHING THE PARTIAL
AT THEIR CRIME SCENE.
I BET YOU A QUARTER
THESE 2 INCIDENTS
ARE RELATED.
THAT MEANS
THE DOAs GET FOLDED
INTO HIS CASE?
SORENSON?
YEAH, SORENSON.
WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT.
HOW THAT’S GONNA WORK.
[SIREN BEEPS]
[SIREN]
I DON’T KNOW HOW
THE LIEUTENANT’S
GONNA HANDLE THIS,
WHOSE CASE THIS IS.
ANY WAY IS GOOD.
THE POINT I’M MAKING,
TECHNICALLY THESE DOAs
SHOULD BE PART
OF YOUR CASE.
ME AND RUSSELL
WOULD CATCH NEXT.
I DON’T THINK I’D GET
TOO CHESTY ABOUT THAT.
YOU UNDERSTAND
THE‐‐THE COMPLICATIONS
ABOUT WHAT I’M TRYING TO
EXPLAIN TO YOU, DANNY?
YEAH.
WHAT HAVE WE GOT, BOSS?
UH, SOMEONE CHASED
THESE DOAs FROM YOUR
CRIME SCENE.
PROBABLY THE GUY
WHO THREW THESE SHOTS
WINGED OUR GUY.
THIS PLATE COMES BACK
REGISTERED TO
A LEONARD LOHMAN.
LENNY LOHMAN? HE’S
A LOWLIFE BARTENDER.
I KNOW WHERE
TO REACH OUT TO HIM.
Fancy:
SO WHO’S CATCHING THESE?
WHATEVER’S RIGHT,
BOSS.
MEANING ’CAUSE YOU
CAUGHT THE FIRST ONE,
YOU WANT THE
DOUBLE HOMICIDE, TOO?
SURE. THAT‐‐THAT’S OK.
YEAH. GOOD.
THAT’S HOW WE’LL DO IT.
SHALL WE REACH OUT
TO THE BARTENDER, ANDY?
YEAH, LET’S.
WE COULD, UH,
GET THE CANVAS.
GOOD.
DIANE AND I WILL STICK
AROUND FOR CRIME SCENE.
WHERE’S THE BAR, ANDY?
ABOUT 8 BLOCKS OVER.
MAYBE IN PROGRESS, YOU AND ME
NEED TO CHAT A LITTLE
ON OUR DEFINITIONS
OF "CHESTY."
Dispatcher: 5‐7‐2,
ADAM 10‐1.
MAYBE DANNY WILL
GET A GREAT PROMOTION
BY THE END
OF HIS FIRST SHIFT.
HERE’S ONE OF
THE GUY’S WALLETS.
Dispatcher: YES,
7 AT THE AIRPORT,
5‐7‐2 ADAM,
DO YOU COPY THAT?
IS THIS CHESTY DISCUSSION
COMIN’ SOON, ANDY?
I’M CHOOSIN’ MY WORDS.
YEAH, OBVIOUSLY.
BUT I HOPE WE MIGHT
BE ABLE TO GET IT
OUT OF THE WAY
BEFORE STANDING IN
FRONT OF THIS BARTENDER
WHO OWNS THE MURDER CAR.
SEE, HERE AGAIN I’M TAKING
A SMART‐ASS CONNOTATION
OFF WHAT YOU SAY.
NO, I’M NOT BEING
A SMART‐ASS.
BUT BEFORE I SPEAK TO
RUSSELL OR ANYBODY ELSE,
I’M NOT GOING TO STUDY
ON EVERY WORD I SAY
LIKE IT’S SCRIPTURE.
I TOLD YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT
THIS GIRL’S MIND‐SET.
I DID.
YEAH, YOU DID. JUST
BEFORE YOU TOOK HER CASE.
SHE SEEMED UPSET.
LIKE MAYBE SHE WAS
BACK TOO SOON.
THAT’S WHY I TOOK IT.
THAT’S NOT IMPOSSIBLE,
SHE’S BACK TOO SOON.
IF I’M WRONG, I’M WRONG.
IT’S NOT IMPOSSIBLE.
IT’S NOT JUST NARCOTICS,
RIGHT, ANDY?
THE WHOLE JOB,
PARTNERS ARE SUPPOSED
TO TRUST EACH OTHER.
THAT DEVELOPS IN TIME.
MEANWHILE, CAN WE DRIVE
TO SEE THIS BARTENDER?
THIS BARTENDER IS
A SHIFTY, DEVIOUS TYPE.
LENNY LOHMAN.
HE’LL ALWAYS GIVE YOU
SOMETHING,
JUST RARELY WHAT
YOU’RE LOOKIN’ FOR.
Woman: HEY!
WATCH IT!
HO, HO, HO. WHOA.
WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM?
DON’T BIKE
ON THE SIDEWALK.
YEAH, RIGHT. I’LL BE
SURE TO DO THAT.
WHAT?
I SAID I WON’T DO IT
AGAIN.
DO YOU SWEAR TO GOD?
Man: YEAH.
GOOD.
IN THE STREET.
ANY OTHER QUALITY‐OF‐LIFE
CRIMES YOU WANT TO ADDRESS?
NO.
LET’S GO.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYS]
MY FAVORITE MIDDLE‐AGED
DETECTIVE.
HOW’S IT GOING, LENNY?
I SEE THIS LAYING OUT
BEFORE ME.
HE BUYS A DRINK,
YOU COLLAR ME
FOR SERVING UNDERAGE.
OH, I’M LEGAL.
I’LL SHOW YOU
MY LICENSE.
MY NEW PARTNER
DANNY SORENSON.
HOW’S IT GOING, DANNY?
HEY, I HOPE YOU DON’T
MIND I KID WITH YOU.
NO, ANDY TOLD ME YOU WERE
A GREAT KIDDER.
YEAH.
WHERE’S YOUR CAR, LENNY?
MY CAR?
YEAH, WHERE’S
YOUR ’94 LUMINA?
OVER WHERE I LIVE.
YOU DIDN’T
DRIVE TO WORK TODAY?
IT’S 3 BLOCKS, DANNY.
PRINCE STREET.
OH, DON’T TELL ME
SOMETHING HAPPENED
WITH MY CAR.
IT WAS USED IN A DRIVE‐BY
THIS MORNING, LENNY.
NOW IT’S UNDER THE FDR
WITH 2 DOAs INSIDE.
DAMAGED?
YEAH, YOUR LUMINA’S
SOMEWHAT DAMAGED,
LENNY.
ANYBODY ELSE GOT A KEY
FOR IT?
SAY, YOU CAN CHALK
THIS UP AGAINST THAT
"FRIENDS DON’T LET
FRIENDS DRIVE DRUNK"
CAMPAIGN.
EVER SINCE PEOPLE
STARTED GRABBING MY KEYS
EVERY TIME I GOT
HALF A LOAD ON,
I KEEP A SPARE SET
IN THE WHEEL WELL.
SEE IF YOU RECOGNIZE
THESE DOAs.
THESE COULD BE TOTAL
STRANGERS, ANDY.
OFF THE SPARE SET BEING
IN THE WHEEL WELL.
YEAH, YOUR SPARE SET.
[SIGHS]
I DO RECOGNIZE HIM.
THAT’S FRANKIE PASCAL.
IT’S HIS COUSIN DOMINIC.
THEY DRANK HERE?
YOU GOT ANY SUSPECTS,
ANDY?
THESE GUYS WOULD BE
THE SUSPECTS IN
THE ORIGINAL SHOOTING,
BEFORE THEY THEMSELVES
GOT SHOT.
THE DEAD
PASCAL COUSINS?
YOU KNOW
JULIO DIAZ, LENNY?
WHO’S THAT NOW?
JULIO’S THE ORIGINAL
SHOOTING VICTIM.
AND THEN MAYBE HIS FRIENDS
WENT AFTER THE PASCALS.
JULIO DIAZ? NOPE,
DON’T RING A BELL.
I MEAN,
MAYBE IF I SEEN ’IM.
OR DID HE GET
KILLED, TOO?
NO, HE WASN’T KILLED.
HE GOT SHOT IN THE SHOULDER.
YOU KNOW. I’LL TELL YA,
THERE’S MORE PUERTO
RICAN ELEMENT AROUND ON
THE CORNERS HERE LATELY.
SLINGIN’ DOPE?
WHATEVER THE HELL IT IS
THEY DO OUT THERE.
PASCAL COUSINS
DO ANY DOPE SLINGIN’?
THAT STUFF’S A SCOURGE
I DON’T ALLOW
ON MY PREMISES, ANDY.
I’M NOT PRIVY
TO WHAT PEOPLE DO
ON THE OUTSIDE.
SO THAT WOULD BE A "MAYBE"
AS FAR AS THE PASCAL
SLINGIN’ DOPE.
I’LL TELL YA,
I’M SICK ABOUT MY CAR.
YOU MAY GET A DECENT SETTLEMENT
FROM THE INSURANCE, LENNY.
WELL, LUCKILY
I AM INSURED.
I BETTER GET THE WHEELS
TURNIN’ ON THAT.
ALL RIGHT, LENNY.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
WE ALL SWIM
IN THE SAME WATER.
WHILE YOU’RE PADDLIN’
AROUND THERE, LENNY,
ANYTHING THAT COMES TO MIND‐‐
IF MAYBE THE PASCALS GOT
ANOTHER COUSIN?
THERE WAS A BLOOD TRAIL
LEAVIN’ YOUR CAR.
YOU FIGURE
THIS WOUNDED GUY’S
STILL ON THE LOOSE?
AND HE MAY HAVE MASTERMINDED
THE THEFT OF YOUR CAR.
SO WE KNOW YOU WANNA
SEE HIM BROUGHT TO JUSTICE.
GOOD POINT.
TAKE CARE, LENNY.
HEY, IT’S A PLEASURE
MEETIN’ YA, DANNY.
YOU’RE WORKIN’ WITH ONE
OF THE BEST THERE.
NOW YOU WENT
AND MADE MY DAY.
YOU WANNA SHARE YOUR
LENNY LOHMAN IMPRESSION?
I’M INVITED?
HEY, DON’T BE GLIB.
LENNY WAS INVOLVED.
HE WASN’T THE GO‐TO GUY.
HELP ME
WITH "GO‐TO GUY."
HE WAS LIKE THE SCROUNGER
OR THE SUPPLY SERGEANT,
AND MAYBE HE SET UP THE HIT.
WHAT ARE YOU
DOIN’ THERE?
FEEL LIKE A TACK
CAUGHT IN MY SHOE.
HERE. HAVE IT. HERE.
I’M GONNA RUIN YOUR COMB.
YEAH.
THERE’S A BIG LOSS.
WERE YOU IN THE SERVICE?
YEAH. ARMY.
SUPPLY UNIT?
INFANTRY’S GOT SCROUNGERS,
TOO, ANDY.
YEAH, I WAS IN
THE INFANTRY, TOO.
OVERSEAS?
YEAH. WERE YOU OVERSEAS?
YEAH,
I WAS OVERSEAS, TOO.
AH! GOT IT.
THANKS.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT?
WHOA, WHOA, HEY!
WHOA. WHOA.
SIT DOWN THERE.
THIS IS BIG.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
LOHMAN GIVIN’ ME
HIS CARD?
GIVIN’ IT TO YOU PRIVATE.
WHAT? IS HE PLAYIN’ ME
FOR AMBITIOUS?
HE WANTS YOU GOIN’ BACK
IN THAT BAR ON YOUR OWN
EITHER FOR HIM TO DANGLE
SOME PIECE OF INFORMATION
IN FRONT OF YOU
OR TO GIVE YOU SOMEONE
TO LIKE FOR THE HITTERS.
AND THE INFORMATION
WON’T BE EXACTLY RIGHT.
IT’LL BE PARTIALLY RIGHT,
AND ENOUGH YOU’LL PUSH IT
FOR RIGHT ALTOGETHER
OFF YOU COMING UP
WITH THE LEAD.
I TOLD YA THIS GUY
WAS DEVIOUS.
HOW DO WE PLAY IT?
WHAT YOU DO, DANNY,
YOU GO IN THAT OFFICE,
YOU RUN
THIS COMPLETE SCENARIO,
’CAUSE HERE THE WHOLE SQUAD
GETS EVERYTHING WE GOT.
OK.
YOU ALL RIGHT WITH THAT?
YES, I AM.
ALL RIGHT, THEN.
YOU SHOWED ME SOMETHING
WITH THIS.
THAT WAS FORTHCOMING.
THANKS, ANDY.
THIS IS THE TYPE THING
REASSURES PEOPLE’S QUALMS.
GOOD.
MY ONLY QUESTION‐‐
WE RIDE ALL THE WAY
BACK TOGETHER.
WE’RE NEARLY
IN THE BOSS’ OFFICE,
WITH YOU KEEPIN’ THIS
TO YOURSELF.
YEAH. I WAS THAT LONG
FIGURING WHAT’S GONNA
GIVE LEAST OFFENSE.
HOW’S IT GOIN’?
HEY, BOSS.
RAP SHEET CAME IN
ON JULIO DIAZ.
THE ORIGINAL SHOOTIN’
VICTIM, THANKS.
THE VICTIM
ON YOUR ORIGINAL CASE.
HOW’D YOU DO
WITH THE BARTENDER?
SO, UH, WE’LL FOLLOW UP
ON THE LIST.
YEAH. KEEP CURRENT
WITH LATENT PRINT.
YEAH, WE’LL RUN THESE NAMES
THE BYSTANDERS GAVE US
THROUGH BCI.
THIS LENNY LOHMAN
WENT HIS USUAL
EXTRA MILE BEIN’ HELPFUL.
GAVE YOU NOTHIN’?
YEAH. HE GAVE US THIS.
HE GIVES US
THE 2 DEAD GUYS’ NAMES
AND SPECULATES THEY MIGHT
HAVE DRUG INVOLVEMENT,
BUT THEN HE
GOES TO PLAY SORENSON,
AND SORENSON
HANDLED HIM GOOD.
LOHMAN GAVE ME HIS CARD.
OFF THINKIN’
SORENSON’S LOOKIN’ OUT
FOR NUMBER ONE,
OFF THINKIN’
SORENSON’S LOOKIN’
TO MOVE HIMSELF UP.
JUST PLAYED
A WILD GUESS.
LOHMAN GIVE SORENSON
THE CARD...
WITHOUT MY KNOWIN’
ABOUT IT.
HE GAVE IT TO HIM
WITH MY BACK TURNED.
SORENSON TOLD ME
ABOUT THIS ON HIS OWN.
I GUESS LOHMAN
FIGURES HE CAN BEAT ME
WITH SOMETHIN’ LAME.
IT WON’T BE
ALL THE WAY LAME.
NO. ANDY WAS SAYIN’.
THEY’LL GIVE YOU
SOME MINNOWS OR SOMETHIN’
TO GET YOU THERE.
YEAH. THAT’S HOW THEY DO IT.
YOU WANT ME TO
CALL LOHMAN, BOSS,
OR SHOW UP BACK THERE COLD?
HE’LL PROBABLY
BE MORE COMFORTABLE
WITH YOU
GOIN’ BACK THERE.
SYLVIA’S HERE.
COULD I LISTEN TO THE NAMES
YOU GOT ON CANVAS
AND WHAT THEIR ACTS ARE?
HI, SYLVIA.
I WAS JUST IN THERE
WORKING A COMPLICATED CASE
WITH MY NEW PARTNER.
THAT’S YOUR
NEW PARTNER?
YEAH, THE 14‐YEAR‐OLD.
HE LOOKS VERY NICE.
ALTHOUGH, UM,
HE HAD TO BE
IN UNIFORM A WHILE.
2 YEARS IN NARCOTICS.
NOW HE TELLS ME
HE WAS IN THE SERVICE.
PROBABLY NOT 14.
ANYWAYS, I DIDN’T THINK
YOU WERE RIDING TODAY.
I WANTED TO TALK
TO YOU.
WHAT’D I DO?
I’M WORRIED
ABOUT SOMETHING
I MIGHT HAVE DONE.
I GOT ANOTHER LETTER
FROM JUAN SUAREZ.
OH, ONE MORE REASON
TO KEEP HANDWRITING
INSTRUCTION OPTIONAL.
I ALWAYS
HAD MISGIVINGS
ABOUT THAT
PROSECUTION, ANDY.
AND I DO RECALL
YOUR SAYING THAT
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS
SINCE WE MET.
THIS ISN’T FUNNY.
I’M NOT MAKING IT
FUNNY.
WHAT DOES SUAREZ SAY?
THAT HE WAS A PATSY
BECAUSE HE WAS
THE OBVIOUS SUSPECT.
HE HAD SWORN TO KILL
GENERO LOPEZ
AFTER LOPEZ
KILLED HIS BROTHER.
HOW’S THE GUY A PATSY,
SYLVIA, IF HE CONFESSED
HE DID IT?
WHAT’S NEW IS SUAREZ
ISN’T CLAIMING
ANYMORE
THAT HIS CONFESSION
WAS COERCED.
HE’S SAYING
THE REAL SHOOTER
WAS A DRUG DEALER
NAMED
FREDDY ASCENSION
WHO GOT HIM TO SAY
THAT HE DID IT.
YEAH‐‐
SUAREZ AGREEING
TO HELP FREDDY OUT
FIGURING IN JAIL
HE’D LEARN A NEW TRADE?
SUAREZ AGREED
BECAUSE THE DRUG
DEALER
PROMISED TO GIVE
HIS FAMILY $1,000
A MONTH,
AND BECAUSE HE WAS
PROBABLY GOING TO BE
ARRESTED ANYWAY.
SYLVIA, YOU KNOW,
YOU CAN BUY
5 OF THESE STORIES
ON EVERY TIER
AT RIKERS.
ANDY, THE VICTIM
WAS A DOPE SLINGER
WHO HAD BEEN
INVOLVED IN 3
PREVIOUS SHOOTINGS.
AND WHAT WAS SUAREZ?
IN HIS LAST YEAR
STUDYING FOR BRAIN SURGERY?
NO.
SUAREZ WAS
AN APPRENTICE
MOTOR MAN
WHO’D LOST HIS JOB
BECAUSE HE TOOK
ONE COLLAR FOR USE.
JEEZ, I’M SORRY
I MISSED RIDING HIS TRAIN.
AND NOW HE’S AFRAID
THAT ASCENCION’S
GOT SOMEONE INSIDE
WHO WILL TRY
TO KILL HIM.
AW, SYLVIA.
SUAREZ IS DOING
15 YEARS,
AND I’M AFRAID THAT
HE ISN’T GUILTY.
AND NOW HE MIGHT
GET KILLED.
I’D JUST LIKE
FOR YOU
TO TALK TO
THE DETECTIVE,
DORNAN,
WHO TOOK
THE CONFESSION.
JUST LOOK INTO IT
THAT FAR.
THE BLACK GUY
WHO’S NOW A SERGEANT?
ARE YOU FRIENDLY
WITH HIM?
OH, YEAH, YEAH.
WE’RE GOING WHITE‐WATER
RAFTING
AS SOON AS OUR SCHEDULES
COINCIDE.
AND YOU WANT ME
TO ASK DORNAN WHAT?
DOES HE FEEL
THAT HE PUT
A WRONG MAN IN JAIL?
NONE
OF THE WITNESSES
DESCRIBE
THE PERPETRATOR
AS WITHIN 4 INCHES
OF SUAREZ’ HEIGHT.
I’M NOT GOING
TO GET INTO THAT
WITH HIM, SYLVIA.
THEN COULD YOU ASK
IF ANYONE MENTIONED
FREDDY ASCENSION’S
NAME?
NO. THAT’S ACCUSING
THIS GUY OF INCOMPETENCE,
AND I’M JUST
NOT GOING TO DO IT.
ALL RIGHT.
MAYBE I CAN SIDLE
INTO IT.
DID SUAREZ
GIVE IT UP EASY?
WAS THAT DORNAN’S
IMPRESSION ON HOW
HE CONFESSED?
MAYBE I CAN GO THAT FAR.
COULD YOU DO THAT?
YEAH, LET ME DO THAT.
I WOULD BE
VERY GRATEFUL, ANDY.
MY PLEASURE.
I’VE GOT TO GO
PICK THEO UP
AT DAY CARE.
YEAH, YOU GO PICK UP THEO
AND LET ME
SOLIDIFY MY RELATIONS
WITH ONE OF MY BLACK
FELLOW LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS.
DETECTIVE,
THEY’RE BRINGING
THE ORIGINAL
SHOOTING VICTIM
ON YOUR CASE UP TO
THE POKEY ROOM.
THANKS.
JULIO’S BACK
FROM THE HOSPITAL.
IT’S PROBABLY GOOD
TO CHAT HIM UP BEFORE
I GO STOP IN ON LENNY.
GET STARTED WITH HIM.
I’LL BE IN IN A MINUTE.
POKEY ROOM’S
DOWN THE HALL?
FIRST DOOR
ON YOUR RIGHT.
HEY.
HEY, JAMES.
[SIGHS]
I’M STANDING HERE
WOOLGATHERING.
LOOKS LIKE
YOU’RE TAKING A LEAK.
SO THE NEW GUY IS,
UH, INTERVIEWING
THE VICTIM
FROM THE ORIGINAL
CRIME SCENE, HUH?
YEAH. JULIO DIAZ.
I GUESS HE’S
INTERVIEWING HIM
IN THE POKEY ROOM.
AW, HE SEEMS OK.
WHAT, THIS SORENSON DOES?
I MEAN,
THE IMPRESSION I GET
IS HE FEELS
PRETTY GOOD
ABOUT HIMSELF.
I GUESS YOU WANT THAT.
YEAH,
YOU WANT AN AMOUNT
OF ASSERTIVENESS.
HE’S NO
BOBBY SIMONE.
NO, THAT’S FOR SURE.
HE’S NOT.
UH, BOBBY HAD
A QUALITY ABOUT HIM.
OH, YEAH.
YEAH.
HE HAD A‐‐
A LIKABILITY,
BUT HE ALSO BROOKED
NO NONSENSE.
YEAH. WELL,
I WAS GLAD ENOUGH
THAT SORENSON CAME UP
WITH THAT CARD.
THAT HE DON’T TURN OUT
NO GLORY HOUND.
I’M WONDERING
WHAT KIND
OF AN INTERVIEW
HE RUNS.
YOU WANT
TO TAKE A LOOK?
WELL, IF THEY’RE
IN A POKEY ROOM,
WE COULD, UH,
WE COULD WATCH
THROUGH OBSERVATION.
YOU TOLD ME THEY WERE
IN THE POKEY ROOM.
YEAH. THEN WE COULD
TAKE A LOOK.
I MEAN, WHAT’S
THE PROGRESS HERE?
I’M SHOT,
I GIVE YOU THE LIST
YOU ASK FOR,
YOU SIT STARING
LIKE AN OWL.
SEE, I GOT TO FIGURE
THE NAMES ON YOUR LIST
ARE YOUR CHUMS
FROM PRESCHOOL, JULIO,
’CAUSE NOT ONE OF THEM
SHOWS UP ON THE LIST
WE GOT.
THEN YOU GOT
A WRONG LIST.
WELL, SEE,
OUR LIST IS BUDDIES
THAT YOU’VE BEEN
COLLARED WITH BEFORE,
AND I’M BETTING
SOME OF THEM
WERE IN THE STREET
WITH YOU TODAY.
I WAS UNACCOMPANIED
OUT THERE.
I’M BETTING AFTER DOM PASCAL
AND HIS COUSIN VIN SHOOT YOU,
YOUR BOYS JUMP
IN THEIR BEAT‐UP
GOLD ACCORD
AND RUN VIN AND DOM DOWN
UNDER THE FDR.
HOW WOULD I KNOW
ABOUT THE FDR
IF I’M SITTING
IN THE STREET
WITH A SHOT‐UP
SHOULDER, HUH?
NAME A BAR YOU DRINK AT.
WHAT?
I WANT TO CHECK UP
ON YOUR FRIENDS.
YOU GOT NOTHING TO GIVE ME.
NAME A BAR YOU HANG.
NAME ONE I DON’T.
NAME ONE YOU DO.
TOMMY’S ROCKER.
IF THESE PLACES
NEVER HEARD OF YOU,
THAT’S GOING TO BE
YOUR GOOD SHOULDER, JULIO.
GIVE ME ANOTHER BAR.
THE BASEMENT.
THE BASEMENT?
WHO’S THE BARTENDER?
I DON’T KNOW.
LENNY SOMETHING.
THIS LENNY’S
GOING TO KNOW YOU?
YEAH, HE’LL KNOW ME.
I DON’T THINK HE’LL
SAY HE LOVES ME.
OH, THAT’S HARD
TO IMAGINE.
PROBABLY HE DON’T
KNOW YOU THAT GOOD.
YEAH, WE JUST BEEN
MAKING ACQUAINTANCE.
MAINLY,
I GO IN TO PISS.
ALL RIGHT,
IN THE CAGE FOR AWHILE.
FOR WHAT?
FOR BREAKING BALLS.
YOU GIVE ME
NO COOPERATION,
I’M GOING TO RUN YOU
FOR WANTS
IN EVERY JURISDICTION
IN AMERICA.
MAN, GO OUT AND GET SHOT
IN THE STREET.
YEAH, WHY DON’T YOU
WRITE THAT UP
FOR READER’S DIGEST?
"MY WORST DAY EVER
SO FAR" BY JULIO.
HI, DANNY.
HI, LENNY.
THANKS FOR YOUR CARD.
FAR AS THE CARD,
LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING.
MY RELATIONS
WITH YOUR JOB.
PLEASE.
I’M NO SAINT.
I HAVEN’T LED
A PERFECT LIFE.
WHO AMONGST US HAS,
LENNY.
IF I SHOW
COOPERATION,
HELP SOMEONE
PLANT HIS FLAG
IN A NEW SITUATION,
TIME COMES
I MAKE A MISTAKE,
I HOPE FOR
A SIMILAR ATTITUDE.
SO YOUR GOING TO HELP ME
PLANT MY FLAG?
THIS WAS
DRUG‐RELATED.
THIS SHOOTING YOU’RE
INVESTIGATING.
IT WAS?
THIS WAS
DRUG‐RELATED,
AND I PREVIOUSLY
HEARD
THOSE PASCAL COUSINS
SAYING
THAT THEY WERE
HAVING TROUBLE
WITH BOTH JULIOS.
BOTH JULIOS?
BOTH JULIOS.
CORRECT.
MEANING THE GUY WE WANT
FOR SHOOTING THE PASCALS
AFTER THE PASCALS
SHOOT THIS ONE JULIO,
HE’S PROBABLY
NAMED JULIO ALSO?
CHECK OUT
THIS JULIO DIAZ’S
RUNNING BUDDIES
FOR ANOTHER JULIO.
HE COULD
VERY WELL BE
YOUR PAYBACK SHOOTER
WHEN THE PASCALS
GOT HIT IN MY
STOLEN CAR.
LENNY,
YOU TELL ME
A PUERTO RICAN
MIGHT HAVE A FRIEND
NAMED JULIO
AND I’M SUPPOSED
TO MAKE THAT COOPERATION?
WHAT I’M
TELLING YOU, DANNY,
I SPECIFICALLY HEARD
THE PASCALS SAY
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND WHAT I’M
TELLING YOU, LENNY,
I THINK THE PASCALS
DIDN’T STEAL YOUR CAR.
I THINK YOU TOLD THEM
WHERE THE SPARE KEY WAS,
’CAUSE MAYBE YOUR RIDE
WAS A LITTLE BIT DENTED UP,
AND YOU WANTED
TO COLLECT BLUE BOOK
FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY,
AND YOU DIDN’T LIKE
PUERTO RICAN DEALERS
PISSING IN YOUR MEN’S ROOM.
GINGER ALE, PLEASE.
I THINK THE PASCALS
ARE WHERE YOU GOT
HELP FOR ME.
I FEEL LIKE YOU CAN PUT ME
WITH THE THIRD GUY
IN YOUR CAR.
THAT’S NOT THE CASE.
AH!
YOU PROVIDED THE CAR.
WHERE’S HE GOT LEVERAGE
FOR HELP?
I’M NO RAT.
WE GOT TO FIND A WAY.
WHEN I COME UP
WITH THE THIRD GUY
AND HE GIVES YOU TO ME
FOR PROVIDING THE CAR,
I DON’T HAVE TO LOCK YOU UP
FOR ACTING IN CONCERT
IN A MURDER.
FINISH WITH HIM,
I DON’T NEED A GINGER ALE.
SO HOW ABOUT YOU MAKE
AN ANONYMOUS CALL
TO MY SQUAD,
ASK FOR THE NEXT
DETECTIVE WHO’S CATCHING,
AND TELL HER WHERE TO FIND
THIS THIRD GUY,
BUT DON’T TELL HER
HE’S CONNECTED WITH OUR CASE.
JUST SAY YOU SAW A GUY
LOOK LIKE HE’D BEEN SHOT,
TELL HER WHERE
TO PICK HIM UP.
DANNY, YOU’RE
ASSUMING I KNOW
WHERE THIS THIRD GUY
WOULD BE.
YEAH, I’M MAKING
THAT ASSUMPTION.
THEN I’LL BE RIGHT
WITH YOU GUYS?
RIGHT AS SNOW
ON CHRISTMAS.
GOOD, NOW I’VE GOT
4 DETECTIVES
ON A BUM STEER.
I’VE GOT HIM.
WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
TOMMY CIANFROCCO.
HOW’D YOU GET HURT,
TOMMY?
NOT WITH THE PASCALS.
NOT WITH
THE PASCALS.
I DIDN’T HAVE NOTHING
TO DO WITH THAT.
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT.
THIS ONE’S HIS, TOO.
IT’S NOT HIS
UNLESS HE ASKS FOR IT.
AND IT WON’T
GET LIGHT OUT UNLESS
THE SUN COMES UP.
MY EARS ARE BURNING.
YOU GOT HIM?
YEAH, I GOT HIM.
YEAH, WE GOT HIM.
FOR NOW.
THIS IS LIKE
A NIGHTMARE.
I’M SHOT DRIVING
MERELY WITH MY FRIENDS.
HOW’D IT ALL HAPPEN,
TOMMY?
ALL I CAN IMAGINE‐‐
DOMINIC, FRANKIE, AND I
GET MISTOOK
FOR OTHER PEOPLE.
EVERYONE
MISTOOK YOU?
THE SHOOTERS
THAT GOT YOU
AND ALL
THE EYEWITNESSES
WHERE THIS OTHER GUY
GOT SHOT?
I’M NOT SAYING
THIS DON’T LOOK BAD
OR I’M NOT WILLING
TO COOPERATE.
WHEN YOU’RE DONE
TALKING TO THE BOSS,
TOMMY’LL BE
IN INTERVIEW 3.
HEY, DORNAN.
SIPOWICZ.
GOT TO TALK TO THIS GUY
FOR MY WIFE.
DANNY SORENSON,
SARGE.
YEAH, DANNY SORENSON.
YEAH, BILL DORNAN.
YOUR WIFE?
COME ON. WE’LL TALK
IN THE COFFEE ROOM.
GOT A MEETING
I GOT TO GET TO.
YEAH, THIS WON’T
TAKE LONG.
SORRY ABOUT YOUR PARTNER.
APPRECIATE THAT.
WOUNDED GUY
RUSSELL GRABBED UP,
HE LOOKS GOOD
FOR BEING THE THIRD MAN
WHO SHOT JULIO DIAZ,
BOSS.
OFF THAT ANONYMOUS
PHONE TIP.
NAME’S
TOMMY CIANFROCCO.
HE LOOKS GOOD
FOR BEING IN THE CAR
WITH THE PASCAL
COUSINS.
THAT WOULD MAKE IT PART
OF YOUR INVESTIGATION.
SHALL I TELL RUSSELL
YOU WANT THE INTERVIEW?
ACTUALLY, BEING WE’RE
ON AN UPPER FLOOR,
I’D LIKE TO AVOID
JUMPING THE SAME
DETECTIVE’S CASE
TWICE IN MY FIRST SHIFT.
I’LL HAVE DIANE
TALK TO THE GUY.
THEY’RE IN INTERVIEW 3,
WHEREVER THE HELL
THAT IS.
HA. ANDY SAY
HE WAS EXPECTING
SERGEANT DORNAN?
NO, I DON’T KNOW
WHAT THAT’S ABOUT.
SO BEFORE
YOUR PROMOTION,
WHEN YOU WERE JUST
A LOWLY DETECTIVE,
YOU COLLARED A GUY
FOR A HOMICIDE,
UH, NAMED
JUAN SUAREZ.
YEAH, HE SHOT A GUY
IN FRONT OF A BODEGA.
GOT 15 YEARS.
HOW WELL DO YOU
REMEMBER THAT CASE?
WHY DO YOU
WANT TO KNOW?
KEEP THE DOMESTIC
TRANQUILLITY.
MY WIFE’S
SYLVIA COSTAS.
SHE’S THE A.D.A.
PROSECUTED THE CASE.
YEAH, I REMEMBER
WHO PROSECUTED THE CASE.
WHEN’D SHE GET MARRIED
TO YOU?
DORNAN,
I SWEAR TO GOD,
I GOT NO AX
TO GRIND HERE.
IT’S JUST SYLVIA’S
GOT THE IDEA
THAT MAYBE
THIS SUAREZ
WAS A PATSY.
DIDN’T ACTUALLY
DO THE SHOOTING.
GOT A IDEA
A LITTLE LATE.
SUAREZ IS WRITING
HER LETTERS
FROM PRISON.
HE’S GOT HER
PERSUADED
THAT HE WAS BOUGHT
TO TAKE THE RAP
OFF HIM BEING
BROTHERS
WITH THE GUY
THAT THE DOA HIT.
HOW ABOUT HE DID IT
OFF THE SAME MOTIVE?
DOA HAD MURDERED
HIS BROTHER?
HE’S PEDDLING
THE DOA WAS MURDERED
OVER SLINGING
DRUGS.
THE DEALERS
THAT DID IT
COME TO HIM
OFFERING HIM MONEY
IF HE’D TAKE
THE FALL.
HE GAVE IT UP TOUGH.
ARE YOU SAYING
I SHOULD’VE TALKED HIM
OUT OF IT?
NO, I’M NOT,
AND I’M NOT SAYING
YOU SHOULD’VE
THROWN BACK
A GROUND BALL
CLEARANCE.
I’M ONLY ASKING IF,
IN THE LIGHT OF
THESE RESERVATIONS,
DO YOU THINK
IT’S POSSIBLE
THAT MAYBE THIS
SUAREZ’S CONFESSION
WAS BOUGHT?
WANT ME TO SAY THAT
TO KEEP YOUR WIFE HAPPY?
I WANT YOU TO SAY IT
IF, LOOKING BACK,
YOU THINK
MAYBE THIS GUY
GAVE IT UP TOO EASY.
HOW WOULD I KNOW THAT?
[SIGHS] FOR EXAMPLE,
BETWEEN YOU, ME,
AND THE DOORPOST,
WHAT KIND OF TUNE‐UP
DID YOU GIVE HIM
BEFORE HE CONFESSED?
WHAT KIND OF TUNE‐UP?
OH, FOR GOD SAKES,
DORNAN.
DID YOU AND ME BUILD UP
SOME BIG PERSONAL TRUST
I’VE FORGOTTEN ABOUT?
I’M ASKING YOU
ONE COP TO ANOTHER.
ONE COP TO ANOTHER.
YOU BEING THE COP.
WHEN I’M WALKING
INTO THE COURTHOUSE
BUILDING,
TESTIFYING
ON ANOTHER CASE,
YOU WERE WALKING OUT.
YOU SAW A BLACK MAN
PANHANDLING.
YOU ASK HIM
IF HE WAS RAISING MONEY
FOR THE UNITED NEGRO
PIZZA FUND.
HOW LONG AGO
DID THAT HAPPEN?
6 1/2 YEARS.
SO IF I APOLOGIZE
FOR OFFENDING YOU
6 1/2 YEARS AGO,
WHEN I DIDN’T
EVEN KNOW YOU WERE
IN THE CITY LIMITS,
WITH THAT GOOD
MEMORY YOU GOT,
DO YOU THINK
THAT YOU COULD
GIVE ME THE COURTESY
OF A STRAIGHT ANSWER
ON THIS GUY’S
CONFESSION?
EVEN IF IT MAKES IT LOOK
LIKE I MESSED UP?
IT’S NOT GOING
TO MAKE YOU LOOK
LIKE YOU MESSED UP.
HOW’S IT GOING TO MAKE
YOU LOOK LIKE THAT
IF THIS INFORMATION
DIDN’T SURFACE
TILL 3 YEARS LATER?
THIS CONFESSION SEEMED
VERY CREDIBLE TO ME.
FINE. THAT’S
THE PUBLIC POSITION.
IT’S MY POSITION,
PERIOD.
HIS CONFESSION
SEEMED CREDIBLE.
THAT’S WHY
I WENT FORWARD.
ANYWAY, YOU GOT
A MEETING TO GET TO.
THANKS FOR TAKING
THE TIME.
BOTH ON THE SAME JOB.
HI.
HI.
HOW’S THE LITTLE GUY?
OH. THEO’S
GOT A FEVER.
HOW HIGH?
101.
HE HAD A VACCINATION
YESTERDAY,
AND DR. MELMAN
THINKS THAT HE MAY
BE REACTING TO THAT.
SO THERE’S NO MEDICINE
YOU NEED HIM TO SWALLOW?
HA. ANDY, YOU TRYING
TO MAKE HIM LAUGH
WITH YOUR
STUPID SINGING
SO I CAN SHOVE
MEDICINE
DOWN HIS THROAT
COULD
HAVE REPERCUSSIONS
WHEN HE GROWS UP.
SO WHEN HE’S AN ADULT
AND HE HEARS
WHEN IRISH EYES
ARE SMILING,
HE’S GOING TO PUNCH
THE SINGER IN THE NOSE
AND DON’T KNOW WHY?
ANYWAYS, ON YOUR INTEREST
IN THAT SUAREZ CASE,
I DID TALK
TO BILL DORNAN.
WHAT’D HE TELL YOU
ABOUT IT?
UH, I WISH I COULD
GIVE YOU A BETTER SENSE
ON THAT, SYLVIA,
BUT, UH...
WHATEVER DORNAN THINKS,
HE‐‐
HE JUST AIN’T TELLING ME.
OK.
I, UH, WENT AROUND
WITH HIM ON IT,
AND, A‐‐
THE GUY JUST DON’T
TRUST ME THAT MUCH,
AND, B‐‐
EVEN IF HE DID,
YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND
THAT, UH, COP’S FIGURE
THE SMALL CHANCE A GUY
DIDN’T DO SOMETHING
ON SOMETHING
HE’S LOCKED UP FOR,
9 TIMES OUT OF 10
THERE’S SOMETHING ELSE
THAT HE DID DO
THAT HE SHOULD’VE
BEEN LOCKED UP FOR
AND HE WASN’T.
YOU REOPENED
THE COLEMAN CASE
AND WORKED
TO GET HIM CLEARED.
HA. I REOPENED
THE COLEMAN CASE
NOT OUT OF NO KEEN
SENSE OF JUSTICE, SYLVIA.
I DID IT BECAUSE
I JUST STOPPED DRINKING
AND I WAS HYPERSENSITIVE
AND I‐‐I DIDN’T
WANT NOBODY,
EVEN IF THEY WERE SKELLS,
THINKING THAT I GAVE THEM
A BUM SHAKE.
IF YOU WANT ME TO,
SYLVIA,
I‐I’LL LOOK
INTO IT FURTHER.
I’M LOOKING
INTO IT FURTHER
WHETHER YOU DO OR NOT.
FINE. GOOD. 2 HEADS
ARE BETTER THAN ONE.
MM‐HMM.
UNLESS THEY’RE
ON THE SAME PERSON.
THANK YOU, ANDY.
YOU’RE WELCOME.
HOW DO YOU LIKE
YOUR NEW PARTNER?
HE, UH, HE‐‐HE’S GOT
A LOT ON THE BALL.
RUSSELL, OF COURSE,
HAS HER RESERVATIONS.
YEAH, I EXPECT
SHE WOULD.
YEAH.
THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.
WITH BOBBY PASSING,
SHE’D HAVE
RESERVATIONS
HIM BEING REPLACED
BY SHERLOCK HOLMES.
WHICH,
THERE’S NO NEED YET,
CONFUSING THIS GUY
WITH HIM ANYWAY.
I’LL TELL YOU,
THOUGH,
CERTAIN TRAITS
REMIND ME
OF ANDY JR.
IF HE REMINDS YOU
OF ANDY JR.,
HE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE
SHERLOCK HOLMES.
JUST SOME SUPERFICIAL
TRAITS, YOU KNOW.
LIKE, HE GETS THIS‐‐
THIS HALF‐TROUBLEMAKER
GRIN,
IT REMINDS ME OF HIM.
[SIGHS]
YOU WANT TO KNOW
IF THEY’RE
FUNDAMENTAL.
NONE OF THAT’S
DECIDED YET,
LIKE THIS WHOLE
SUAREZ MATTER.
SORRY, I FORGOT
TO LOCK IT.
ANY PROGRESS
ON THAT MUTT?
HE CAN’T GIVE IT UP
FAST ENOUGH.
GOOD.
SAYS HIM AND THE PASCALS
WERE LOOKING TO HIT
THIS JULIO DIAZ
AND ANOTHER DEALER
NAMED RINCON.
WHAT’S THE OTHER
DEALER’S FIRST NAME?
WHY? AM I GETTING
GRADED?
NO. IT DON’T MATTER.
JULIO.
SO AT WHAT POINT
DO YOU GET A LOCKER
IN THIS SQUAD?
YOU’D WANT TO TAKE THAT UP
WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
ANYWAYS.
NIGHT, DIANE.
YEAH, GOOD NIGHT,
DANNY.
DIANE,
I’M SORRY
FOR YOUR LOSS.
YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT MY LOSS.
YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT HIM.
NIGHT.
DRAFT, PLEASE.
YOU WANT TO CARD ME?
YOU GOT ANY OTHER PROBLEMS
WITH MY ORDER?
NO.
GOOD. I’M ON A ROLL.
