NYPD Blue (1993–2005): Season 7, Episode 18 - Lucky Luciano - full transcript
WHAT DO YOU GOT?
I CAN SEE SOME BLOOD
IN THE BACK SEAT,
AND THERE’S
A WOMAN’S SHOE.
THIS GIRL REPORTS HER SISTER
MISSING AN HOUR AGO,
WE PUT AN ALARM OUT
ON THE CAR.
I JUST FINISHED TAGGING
THE CAR WHEN I HEARD.
ALL RIGHT.
LET ME OPEN THE TRUNK.
IF SHE’S SAFE,
NOTHING ELSE BOTHERS ME.
I’D FEEL THE SAME WAY.
WE DON’T KEEP
ANYTHING IN THE TRUNK.
JUST A JACK FOR FLATS?
THAT’S ALL WE KEEP.
[ Gasps ] WHAT’S IN THERE?
WHAT’S IN THERE?
WHAT’S IN THERE?
IS THERE ANYTHING
BESIDE THE JACK?
[ SIREN WAILING ]
IS THERE ANYTHING
IN THERE? [ Sobbing ]
D.O.A.’s MARY GENOVA.
SHE’S IN THE BACK BEDROOM.
WHO ARE THESE TWO?
COUSIN OF THE D.O.A.
THAT LIVES HERE.
SHE SAID THE D. O. A.’s HUSBAND
FOUND THE BODY.
SITTING NEXT TO HER.
LUCIANO BACA, AND HER NAME
IS ANNABELLE CITO.
LUCIANO BACA?
YES, I’M LUCIANO.
NEW YORK CITY DETECTIVES.
GOOD, GOOD, GOOD. THIS IS
MY WIFE’S COUSIN ANNA.
HOW DO YOU DO?
I’M DANNY SORENSON.
THIS IS MY PARTNER
ANDY SIPOWICZ.
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
POOR MARY.
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR WIFE?
I DON’T SEE HER
SINCE 9:00 LAST NIGHT.
I COME TO SAY GOOD MORNING,
I FIND HER LIKE THIS,
AND THE WILL ALL TORN UP.
MARY’S WILL NAMING HER SON
FRANK AS THE BENEFICIARY.
OH, DEAR ME.
I HOPE IT’S NOT FRANK
WHO DID THIS.
DID ANYONE HEAR OR SEE
FRANK COME IN LAST NIGHT?
I’M IN MY ROOM,
LOOK AT THE TV.
YOU DON’T SLEEP IN THE SAME
ROOM WITH YOUR WIFE?
SHE KEEP ME
IN A DIFFERENT ROOM.
WHERE WERE YOU?
OH, I WAS
IN MY ROOM ALSO.
DIFFERENT FROM LUCIANO’S.
WE ARE COUSINS.
CANVAS, DANNY?
YEAH, PLEASE, GREG.
ANYTHING AFTER 9:00.
WELL, EXCUSE US.
WE’RE GOING TO GO LOOK
BACK IN THE OTHER ROOM.
I HOPE IT’S NOT FRANK.
OH, STAY CALM.
STAY CALM, LUCIANO.
SHE TEAR UP THE WILL.
MURDER, HUH?
THE DOC CAME DOWN
FOR MARY.
HOW DO YOU KNOW
SHE’S DEAD?
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO THINK,
THERE’S A RAFFLE GOING ON?
WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
ANTHONY. WHO DO YOU SUSPECT?
WE JUST STARTED LOOKING
INTO THINGS, ANTHONY.
THERE’S A SON
SHE DOESN’T SPEAK TO,
AND HER HUSBAND ‐‐
ANYTHING THAT MOVES,
STARTING WITH THE COUSIN
THAT LIVES THERE.
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
HOW OLD DO YOU
WANT ME TO BE?
YOU WANT TO COME INSIDE
WITH US?
I’D LIKE TO BREAK MY CHERRY
SEEING THIS WOMAN’S APARTMENT
I’VE LIVED ACROSS THE HALL FROM
FOR OVER 17 YEARS.
SO WE KNOW
YOU’RE AT LEAST 17.
SHERLOCK FRIGGIN’ HOLMES.
COME ON.
LET ME GET A LOOK.
DOESN’T HAVE TO
BE THE D. O. A.
GETTING PISSED OFF
AND TEARING UP THE WILL.
SOMEONE DON’T WANT
THE KID GETTING THE MONEY
KILLS HER
AND TEARS THE WILL UP.
IT’S THE SON
OR THE GOOFY GUY.
SHE HAD NICE STUFF, THE OLD
WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST.
OH, ANTHONY, AT LAST YOU GET
TO SEE MARY’S PLACE, EH?
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
GO AHEAD, GO AHEAD.
YOU WANT TO LOOK AROUND?
DON’T MIND IF I DO.
WE’RE GOING TO NEED
THE BOTH OF YOU TO COME IN.
YEAH, ALL RIGHT.
I’LL PUT ON SOME CLOTHES.
I’LL GO THE WAY I AM.
WHAT’S GOING ON
WITH HIM?
THAT’S A NEIGHBOR
THAT’S AT LEAST 17.
I TRIED SELLING HER CHOCOLATES
FIRST IN 1974.
IS THAT SO?
SHE DID EVERYTHING
BUT SPIT IN MY EYE.
HE HAD TO BE AT LEAST 4.
THAT MAKES HIM 30 MINIMUM.
SO YOU DISLIKED
THIS WOMAN.
WITH A PASSION.
WHERE WERE YOU
LAST NIGHT?
WHERE WAS I? WHAT ARE YOU,
A MORON FOR ASKING THAT?
THAT’S NOT
A DIRECT ANSWER.
I WAS IN MY APARTMENT
WITH MY COUSIN FREDDY,
OF WHICH, WHEN HE COMES TO,
HE’LL BACK ME UP.
ANDY.
MY NAME’S FRANK GENOVA.
I JUST GOT A MESSAGE
SOMEONE KILLED MY MOTHER.
WE CAN TALK IN HERE.
I’M NOT FULLY CURRENT
ON THE CASE’S PARTICULARS.
YEAH, I DON’T CARE.
UM, COFFEE?
I’M A VITAMIN DISTRIBUTOR.
THE LAST TWO DAYS, I WAS
IN TARRYTOWN, NEW YORK,
AT THE VITAWONDER
REGIONAL SUMMIT.
DOZENS OF PEOPLE SAW ME.
I SLEPT WITH SUZANNE JORDAN
AND DAPHNE SAMSON
AND DROVE BACK WITH THEM
THIS MORNING.
ESTABLISHING
YOUR WHEREABOUTS TO INDICATE
YOU WEREN’T INVOLVED
WITH YOUR MOTHER’S DEATH.
THAT’S WHAT
I’M ESTABLISHING.
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO MIGHT
HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE?
PERSONALLY AND BUSINESS‐WISE,
MY MOTHER WAS A BITCH.
I HOPE IT WASN’T THAT HANDYMAN
SHE MARRIED. HE SEEMED NICE.
AND HIS NAME?
LUCIANO.
KEPT CALLING ME, TRYING
TO GET US BACK TOGETHER.
HERE’S MY BUSINESS NUMBER.
MY WIFE ACTUALLY WAS
A DISTRIBUTOR FOR VITAWONDER
A FEW YEARS AGO.
SHE WOUND UP FEELING
IT WAS SORT OF
LIKE A PYRAMID SCHEME.
YOU CAN TELL HER
THAT THE INTERNET
IS PUTTING MULTI‐TIERED
MARKETING IN THE TOILET.
FRANK.
OH.
HI, LUCIANO.
[ SPEAKS ITALIAN ]
FRANK ‐‐
THIS IS MARY’S SON.
HEY, YOU TALK
TO SOMEONE UPSTAIRS, FRANK?
YEAH, I LEFT MY CARD.
THANK YOU.
LET GO OF HIM.
SURE, SURE.
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
WHERE WE GO NOW?
LET’S GET YOU
DISTRIBUTED.
Anna: I NEED TEA.
I’LL GET YOU DISTRIBUTED,
AND THEN I WILL BRING TEA.
NOTHING TO DRINK,
BUT PRETTY SOON,
I’VE GOT A CRAP COMING ON.
ALL RIGHT, GOOD.
LUCIANO, ANNA.
WHO TALKED
TO THE D. O. A.’s SON?
ME. HE DIDN’T DO IT.
HE DIDN’T.
HE WAS BANGING TWO WOMEN
IN TARRYTOWN ‐‐
A SUZANNE AND DAPHNE.
IF THE SON’S
OUT OF THE PICTURE,
WE’LL WANT TO LOOK
AT THE D. O. A.’s
HUSBAND NEXT.
SHE OWNED SOME PROPERTY.
HER HUSBAND’S A PAISAN
WHO WAS ALSO HER HANDYMAN,
SO HE COULD HAVE
WANTED HER DOUGH.
THERE’S ALSO
A POOR‐RELATION COUSIN
THAT LIVES WITH THEM
THAT A JUG‐EARED
PAIN‐IN‐THE‐BALLS MIDGET
THAT LIVES NEXT DOOR
WAS INFERRING THE PAISAN
HANDYMAN WAS PUTTING IT TO.
WE GOT THE HUSBAND
AND THE COUSIN TO TALK TO.
OKAY.
VITAWONDER.
THAT’S A CONVENTION
THE SON WAS AT IN TARRYTOWN.
WEREN’T THOSE THE VITAMINS
YOUR WIFE WAS SELLING
THAT MADE MEDAVOY SICK?
THEY DIDN’T. THAT TURNED OUT
TO BE FOOD POISONING.
THEN WHAT WAS
THAT BIG FLARE‐UP
ABOUT THEM VITAMINS?
THAT WAS YOU
TAKING UMBRAGE
WHEN I WOULDN’T
SELL THEM TO YOU.
YEAH. WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?
I JUST GOT UNCOMFORTABLE
PUTTING MEN ON MY SQUAD
IN THAT POSITION.
NO, BUT THAT RELUCTANCE
CAME UP SPECIFICALLY
WHEN I TRIED
TO BUY THEM VITAMINS.
ANYWAYS, THAT WAS
FIVE OR SIX YEARS AGO.
I REMEMBER THAT NOW.
KEEP THE FILTER
FOR YOUR 5s.
I REMEMBER THAT VITAWONDER.
YOU CAN CROSS
THAT FRANK OFF.
OH, PERISH WE CATCH
A GROUND BALL.
HE WAS AT ONE OF THEM
PYRAMID SCHEME PEP RALLIES
UP IN TARRYTOWN.
NO FORCED ENTRY,
NO SIGN OF STRUGGLE.
IT ARGUES AGAINST HIM
CONTRACTING THE HIT.
IF THAT WAS A CONTRACT,
I WANT TO HIRE THE HITTER.
SO PROBABLY WE LOOK
AT THE HUSBAND.
PROBABLY WE SHOULD TALK
TO THAT COUSIN FIRST,
SEE IF HER AND LUCIANO
WERE CARRYING ON.
I KNOW YOU’LL HATE
TO MAKE THAT MIDGET RIGHT.
YOU KNOW THEM ‐‐
THEM VITAWONDER VITAMINS?
NO.
FANCY USED TO SELL THEM.
ARE THEY GOOD?
MEDAVOY THOUGHT HE POISONED
HIMSELF WITH THEM,
BUT THAT TURNED OUT
TO BE CLAMS.
NO, BUT I GOT INTO SOME
BACK‐AND‐FORTH WITH FANCY
OVER HIM REFUSING
TO SELL THEM TO ME.
WHY DID HE REFUSE
TO SELL THEM TO YOU?
HE SAID HE DIDN’T WANT
TO PUT ME IN A POSITION.
THAT IS A SIDE OF HIM
YOU HAVEN’T SEEN YET.
UH, ANDY,
WHO’S SUZANNE AND DAPHNE?
I KNOW WHO THEY ARE.
JUST KEEP THE FILTER
FOR THE 5s.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
THINGS WENT BAD?
WHAT A NIGHTMARE.
THIS GIRL COMES IN TO REPORT
HER SISTER MISSING.
WE PUT AN ALARM OUT
ON THE CAR.
WE’RE DROPPING
THE GIRL HOME.
WE HEAR A CALL.
THE CAR’S BEEN FOUND
OVER THE 59th STREET BRIDGE.
OPEN THE TRUNK, THIS GIRL’S
SISTER’S IN THERE DEAD ‐‐
SHOT AND SEXUALLY ASSAULTED.
THIS IS HER TWIN.
CRIME SCENE
GIVE YOU ANYTHING?
THEY GOT ONE PRINT OFF
THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUNK.
COMES BACK
TO A MARCUS POTTER.
ONE COLLAR FOR STEALING
A CAR, THREE FOR CRACK.
THE PRINT IS NOT GOING
TO GET YOU TO BAT.
A ZILLION WAYS A LAWYER
COULD EXPLAIN IT.
LET’S HOPE MARCUS
ISN’T A LAWYER.
MARCUS POTTER?
WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
ABOUT WASTING
THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU
WERE AT THE BISHOP CAR WASH?
I NEVER WORKED AT A CAR WASH
IN MY LIFE.
WERE YOU THERE RECENTLY
IN YOUR CAR?
MY CAR IS PRESENTLY,
UH, REPOSSESSED.
OH, MAN.
WE GOT A GIRL PICKED YOU
OUT OF A MUG BOOK
FOR GROPING HER
IN THE BISHOP CAR WASH.
THAT’S ‐‐ THAT’S TOTALLY,
LIKE, MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
I NEVER GRABBED
NO ONE’S ASS.
NO ASS ANYWHERE
THREE DAYS AGO?
WHERE WAS I
THREE DAYS AGO?
THREE DAYS AGO,
I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL.
YOU GOT THE PAPERWORK?
YEAH.
PAPERWORK
WOULD SHUT THE BOSS UP.
YOU WANT TO DO US
A SOLID?
COME BACK WITH US,
BRING THE PAPERWORK,
THIS THING IS OVER.
I WAS GOING TO WATCH ONE
OF MY SHOWS RIGHT NOW.
PRETTY PLEASE, MARCUS?
WE’LL BRING YOU RIGHT BACK.
WE’LL MAKE THE BOSS
BRING HIM BACK.
I‐I GUESS I COULD
DO YOU A SOLID.
YEAH. BANK A LITTLE LOVE.
HA HA. I HEAR YOU.
OH, UH, DON’T FORGET
THAT PAPERWORK.
YEAH, YEAH.
YOU KNOW,
IT DON’T LOOK
LIKE MARY’S SON
DID IT, ANNA.
NO?
FRANKIE HAD
A PRETTY GOOD ALIBI.
WELL, THEN,
I AM AT A LOSS.
WELL, I THINK YOU KNOW
WHO WE’VE GOT TO LOOK AT NOW.
WHO?
AS MUCH REASON
AS FRANK WOULD HAVE HAD,
LUCIANO WOULD HAVE HAD
IF HE WAS IN LOVE
WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.
WE’RE NOT SITTING HERE
IN JUDGMENT, ANNA.
WE’RE JUST TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT
WHY SOMEONE
MIGHT HAVE DONE SOMETHING.
I CAN’T HELP YOU.
WAS LUCIANO
IN LOVE WITH YOU?
I DON’T KNOW
WHAT HE WAS.
THE NEIGHBORS SAY LUCIANO DIDN’T
SEEM AS HAPPY AROUND MARY
AS HE DID AROUND YOU.
DID THEY TELL YOU ANYONE
SEEMED HAPPY AROUND MARY?
YEAH. NOBODY LIKED HER.
DID THEY TELL YOU
SHE HAD LUCIANO ARRESTED
FOR USING HER TOOLS
ON SOMEBODY ELSE’S PATIO?
WE HEARD THAT STORY.
WAS HE IN LOVE WITH YOU?
DID HE EVER SAY ANYTHING
ABOUT WANTING MARY
OUT OF THE PICTURE?
I’M NOT TALKING
ABOUT IT.
WE COULD TAKE THAT
AS YOU BEING PART OF IT.
THEN TAKE IT LIKE THAT.
I’M NOT RATTING OUT
LUCIANO.
WAS IT FRANK?
NO.
NO.
ARE YOU SURE?
HEY, LUCIANO,
YOU DON’T HAVE TO
ASK US IF WE’RE SURE.
WE GET OUR FACTS RIGHT,
AND THEN WE PROCEED.
YEAH.
YEAH, FRANK WAS UPSTATE,
LUCIANO,
WITH 200 OR 300 OTHER PEOPLE
TO CORROBORATE HIS WHEREABOUTS.
WITH HIS VITAMINS, EH?
YEAH, THE VITAMIN
FRANCHISE DISTRIBUTORSHIP.
YES. NOT FRANK. NO, NO.
SO NOW WE’RE ASKING
OURSELVES, LUCIANO,
IF NOT FRANK, WHO?
AH.
WHO KILLED MARY?
AH.
I DON’T KNOW.
IF MARY DIDN’T TEAR UP
HER NEW WILL
MAKING FRANK
THE BENEFICIARY,
WHO ELSE WOULD BENEFIT FROM
THE NEW WILL BEING TORN UP?
WHO WAS GOING TO GET
MARY’S MONEY, IN OTHER WORDS?
ME.
YOU.
OH, YES, YES, ME.
SO YOU KILLED MARY.
WELL, I GET THE MONEY,
MUST BE ME, HUH?
PFFT.
PLEASE.
I NEED TO CRAP.
GRAZIE. MILLE GRAZIE.
YOU KNOW,
WHEN I GOT TO CRAP,
MY BRAIN GOES AWAY.
ALL RIGHT.
You want to know
what I think?
I think this guy’s
about as Italian
as Chef Boyardee,
and I’m about
to do something about it.
HEY, UH, JOHN, THERE’S A GIRL
IN THE CATCHING AREA.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
PERMIT HER TO LEAVE
UNTIL I’VE DEBRIEFED HER.
SURE.
The next words that
you hear cross his lips
are not going to be
with an Italian accent,
and you can take that
to the bank.
EXCUSE ME, ANDY,
WOULD YOU?
YEAH, GO AHEAD.
THIS DETECTIVE
CAN HELP YOU.
DETECTIVE,
THIS IS THERESA MANGANO,
WHO’S A MAID
AT THE BACA RESIDENCE.
MISS MANGANO.
YES, SIR.
WHEN MARY WAS MURDERED,
LUCIANO WAS WITH ME.
[ YELLING IN ITALIAN ]
NEVER MIND. SIT DOWN.
THAT’S LUCIANO.
ARE YOU BEATING HIM?
NO, NO, NO.
[ TOILET FLUSHES ]
MEDAVOY, BRING THIS GUY OUT
WHEN HE’S DONE.
OH, YEAH. SURE, ANDY.
ANYTHING FOR YOU.
[ TOILET FLUSHES ]
HELLO.
HOW ARE YOU?
UH, ANDY,
THIS IS THERESA,
WHO’S A MAID
AT THE BACA RESIDENCE
THAT SAYS LUCIANO
WAS WITH HER.
HELLO.
I WAS WITH LUCIANO.
LUCIANO SAYS
HE WAS ALONE.
NO. WITH ME,
PROTECTING
MY REPUTATION.
SAYING HE WAS ALONE
WAS PROTECTING
YOUR REPUTATION.
ANYWAY, THERESA,
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT MARY’S DEATH?
NO. NOTHING ABOUT MARY.
ALL RIGHT. WRITE DOWN
YOUR ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER.
I GOT TO GO TALK
TO MY PRIEST.
AHEM. ALL RIGHT.
APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN.
IF WE NEED ANYTHING ELSE,
WE’LL BE IN TOUCH.
WHAT, TAKE IT TO ANNA
LUCIANO WAS PLAYING AROUND?
THIS IS A QUAGMIRE.
CARE TO BE
MORE SPECIFIC
WHERE YOU’D LIKE
THIS GENTLEMAN TAKEN?
YEAH. TAKE THAT GENTLEMAN
INTO THE COFFEE ROOM.
BA‐BOOM. EH.
EH.
HE SOUNDED PRETTY ITALIAN
IN THERE.
I’M STILL NOT CONVINCED.
HERE’S YOUR PAPERWORK,
MARCUS.
YOU SHOW YOUR BOSS
I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL
BEHIND THESE HEMORRHOIDS?
YEAH. YOU’RE CLEAR
FOR THREE DAYS AGO.
TRUTH IS THOUGH,
MARCUS,
THIS GIRL WAS GROPED
LAST NIGHT.
OH. LAST NIGHT.
LAST NIGHT
IN THE BISHOP CAR WASH,
SOMEBODY GROPED THIS GIRL
THAT SHE SAYS WAS YOU.
WELL, UH,
I STILL NEVER WORKED THERE,
AND MY CAR
WAS STILL REPOSSESSED,
SO I WASN’T EVEN GROPING
NO ONE.
WRITE THAT.
AND ACCOUNT
FOR YOUR TIME.
IN OTHER WORDS,
YOU GUYS SHOT ME
THROUGH THE GREASE
TO GET ME IN HERE.
MAYBE A LITTLE.
ALL RIGHT.
AS LONG AS WE STRAIGHT
WITH EACH OTHER.
MIND IF WE BRING
A COUPLE OF OTHER DETECTIVES
TO GO OVER YOUR STATEMENT
WITH US?
OH, HELL, NO.
THE TRUTH
IS MY PROTECTOR.
I HAVEN’T WROTE THAT MUCH
SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.
IS THAT RIGHT?
I‐I DON’T EVEN KNOW
IF I WROTE THAT MUCH
WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL,
YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING?
OH, YEAH?
WELL,
THAT COVERS YOU
AND THE BISHOP
CAR WASH GROPER.
OH, HEY.
WHO’S DRIVING ME HOME?
NOW TELL US
ABOUT THIS GIRL.
OH, WHOA. MNH‐MNH.
NO. I DON’T KNOW
THAT GIRL.
YOUR FINGERPRINT’S
ON HER CAR, MARCUS.
TH‐THIS IS MANHATTAN ISLAND
IN NEW YORK CITY.
HOW MANY OTHER
DAMN FINGERPRINTS WAS ON IT?
JUST YOURS.
WHILE YOU WERE HOLDING
THE TRUNK
WHILE YOU WERE WIPING
THAT PART CLEAN,
THAT’S WHERE YOU LEFT
YOUR PRINT.
MAYBE THAT’S THE SPOT
WHERE WHOEVER DID IT MISSED,
AND MY PRINT
IS AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER
FROM WHENEVER I MIGHT HAVE
TOUCHED THE TRUNK
SIX MONTHS AGO
OR ANY OTHER DAMN TIME.
NO, THAT’S NOT
GOING TO WORK, MARCUS.
ONLY PRINT LEFT
AT THE SCENE
OF A VICIOUS MURDER.
I’LL TELL YOU THE OTHER THING
YOU GOT TO WORRY ABOUT
IS IF YOUR DNA MATCHES
THE DNA SAMPLE
WE TAKE FROM THE SEMEN
ON THAT GIRL’S BODY.
WHICH WOULD MAKE IT
A VICIOUS
PREMEDITATED MURDER.
THE RAPE DOES MAKE IT
PREMEDITATED, YEAH.
WHICH BUYS YOU
THE NEEDLE, MARCUS.
WASN’T ME.
IT WAS NOT YOU?
IT WAS NOT ME.
LOOK, I WANT
TO TELL YOU SOMETHING,
AND I AIN’T ASHAMED
TO TELL YOU,
YOU KNOW, BECAUSE
I’M CLOSING WITH IT.
COME ON, THEN.
I GOT A LITTLE PROBLEM
WITH THE PIPE.
YOU DO?
YES, I DO.
AND HOW DOES THAT
FIGURE IN?
WELL, HOW THE PIPE
FIGURES IN?
ALL RIGHT.
THE PREMEDITATION.
FIRST OFF,
YOU KNOW,
WHEN I’M BEHIND THE CRACK,
YOU KNOW, IT’S LIKE
I’M OUT OF MY MIND.
SAYING YOU WERE CRAZY
WHEN YOU DID THIS.
NO, I’M NOT SAYING
THAT I DID IT AT ALL.
I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT SAYING
THAT I DID IT.
YOU’RE SAYING YOU GOT
A PROBLEM BEHIND THE CRACK.
THAT’S ALL I’M TRYING
TO SAY SO FAR.
WE KNOW YOU DID IT.
AH, HEY...
THE PREMEDITATION.
THIS IS HOW
YOU RULE THAT OUT,
AND THE CRACK FITS IN.
THE SEX COME
AFTER THAT GIRL DIED.
AND I’M NOT SAYING
THAT I COMMITTED THE SEX
OR THE MURDER.
I JUST HAPPEN TO KNOW THAT
FOR A FACT.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IT?
I MEAN, YOU KNOW,
YOU EVER HEARD
OF AN EYEWITNESS?
SO YOU’RE SAYING
YOU SAW SOMEONE ELSE
MURDER THIS GIRL,
THEN HAVE SEX ON HER
AFTER SHE WAS DEAD?
AND IN MY CRACKED‐OUT
INSANITY,
I NEVER LIFTED A HAND
AGAINST HIM.
BUT YOU DID LOAN HIM
YOUR SEMEN
TO LEAVE ON THE BODY.
ALL RIGHT.
MM. LET ME THINK.
SURE.
WE GOT ALL THE TIME
YOU NEED.
AHEM.
HE SAYS HE KILLED HIS WIFE,
THIS LUCIANO,
BUT HOW HE SAYS IT,
YOU KNOW
HE DOESN’T MEAN IT.
ANNA, THE COUSIN THAT
HE IS ABSOLUTELY PUTTING IT TO,
SHE WON’T TAKE A POSITION,
DID LUCIANO DO IT OR NOT,
BUT HOW
SHE WON’T TAKE IT,
SHE DEFINITELY EXPECTS
WE COLLAR HIM ANYWAY.
IN COMES
THERESA THE MAID ‐‐
ALIBIS LUCIANO OUT.
WHILE THE D.O.A.
IS GETTING MURDERED,
LUCIANO IS BANGING HER.
WHERE ARE WE?
WHERE WE ARE...
[ SIGHS ]
IF THE MAID
IS TELLING THE TRUTH,
IT’S GOT TO BE THE COUSIN
KILLED THE WIFE.
AHEM. IF LUCIANO WAS
WITH THERESA THE MAID,
AND THE MURDER COME
FROM INSIDE THE FAMILY,
THEN IT’S GOT TO BE
THE HOMELY COUSIN ANNA.
’CAUSE FRANK THE SON,
OFF YOUR OWN INTERVIEW,
WE ESTABLISHED
HE WAS UP IN TARRYTOWN.
YEAH, AT THAT
VITAMIN CONVENTION,
WHICH WHO WOULD KNOW
BETTER ABOUT THAN YOU?
WHY WOULD
THE COUSIN DO IT?
WHY WOULD
THE COUSIN DO IT?
YOU THINK THAT WE’RE GOING
TO FIND THAT OUT IN HERE?
AND WHAT DID HE SAY?
UH, HE WENT FOR IT ‐‐
LUCIANO.
HE SAID HE KILLED MARY.
OH, GOD!
WELL, BELIEVE ME,
IF THIS ISN’T
TEMPORARY INSANITY,
THEY SHOULD
THROW OUT THE LAW.
WHAT SHE PUT
THAT POOR MAN THROUGH.
BUT THEN THERESA,
WHO WORKS AT THE HOUSE,
SAYS 10:15, 10:30,
WHEN THE NEIGHBORS
HEAR THE SCREAMING,
LUCIANO WAS WITH HER.
WHAT DOES LUCIANO SAY?
SAYS HE KILLED MARY,
LIKE WE JUST TOLD YOU.
THIS GIRL WANTS TO BE
WITH LUCIANO,
WHY SHE MADE UP
THAT STORY.
DID YOU DO IT, ANNA?
DID I DO IT?
DID I DO IT?
YEAH. SUPPOSE IT WAS
YOU IN LOVE WITH HIM
AND WANTING MARY
OUT OF THE WAY.
DID I DO IT?
THAT WOULD MAKE
THERESA’S STORY FIT.
LUCIANO SAID HE DID IT.
WELL, MAYBE HE’S TRYING
TO COVER UP FOR YOU.
N‐NO.
THIS GIRL WANTS LUCIANO.
THAT’S WHY SHE MADE UP
THE STORY.
SOUNDS LIKE
EVERYONE WANTS LUCIANO.
HOW ABOUT THIS, ANNA?
SUPPOSE YOU DID IT.
HE GOT YOU TO DO IT
WITHOUT YOU KNOWING,
AND EVEN
WITH HIM CONFESSING,
HE PUT SO MANY HOLES
IN HIS STORY
THAT WE DON’T BELIEVE HIM?
SUPPOSE IT’S THERESA HE WANTS
TO BE THROWING HUMPS INTO
AND HE MADE YOU A PATSY.
Anna: NO!
NO, HUH?
ANNA.
ANNA?
ANNA.
[ SIGHS ]
WE WANT YOU
TO THINK THINGS OVER NOW.
WE WANT TO KNOW
IF HE AGITATED YOU
INTO DOING THIS,
BECAUSE THAT
TEMPORARY INSANITY LAW
THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT ‐‐
WELL, THAT’S STILL
ON THE BOOKS,
AND IT’S AVAILABLE
TO YOU AS WELL,
AND OTHERWISE...
THIS LOOKS PREMEDITATED.
I NEED MORE TEA.
NOW?
NO. LEAVE ME ALONE
FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
OKAY.
JUST LET US KNOW
WHEN YOU NEED THE TEA.
[ EXHALES DEEPLY ]
WHAT I JUST SAID
TO THIS ANNA ‐‐
YEAH, LUCIANO MOVED HER
TO WHACK MARY.
I THINK
THAT’S WHAT I BELIEVE.
MEANING THIS ONE’S
GOING TO SKATE.
UNLESS WE CONVINCE HIM
HE’S GOING FOR CONSPIRACY.
CAN WE GET HIM THERE?
FOLLOW MY LEAD.
OH HO.
THE BIG NOISY MAN, HUH?
WHERE ARE YOU FROM THERE,
LUCIANO, HUH?
RED HOOK? BUSHWICK?
NAPOLI.
WHAT,
I DON’T TELL YOU?
NAPOLI, UH?
YOU BELIEVE THIS GUY?
ALL HE NEEDS
IS AN ACCORDION
AND ONE OF THEM
SQUEAKY LITTLE MONKEYS.
ANYWAYS, LUCIANO,
DESPITE YOU SAYING THAT
IT WAS YOU WHO KILLED MARY,
WE’VE COME TO BELIEVE
IT WAS ANNA.
ANNA? NO.
ANNA. YES.
IT WAS ME
WHO GET THE MONEY.
ANNA. YES.
WITH YOU GETTING THE MONEY.
NO. NO.
YES, BUT THAT DON’T
QUITE QUALIFY YOU
FOR CRIMINAL MASTERMIND,
LUCIANO,
BECAUSE HERE
IN THE U. S. OF A.,
WE GOT WHAT’S CALLED
CONSPIRACY LAWS.
PLEASE. CON‐‐ CONSH‐‐
CONSPIR‐‐
NO, UH ‐‐ CONSPIR‐‐
CONSPIR‐‐
A CONSPIRACY,
LUCIANO,
IS EVEN THOUGH ANNA’S DOING
THE BODYWORK ON MARY,
YOU EGGING HER ALONG.
I, UH, I EGG ANNA?
YEAH, YEAH.
YOU EGG HER.
YOU GET HER TO DO IT.
NO, NO, NO.
I TELL ANNA,
"DON’T DO IT,"
AND THEN I DO IT.
GET OFF YOU DOING IT!
YOU DIDN’T DO IT!
YOU WERE WITH THERESA!
I TELL ANNA,
"DON’T DO IT,"
AND I DON’T BELIEVE
THAT SHE DOES.
OH, MEANING THAT
YOU WERE WITH THERESA.
OH, HA. NO!
I DON’T KISS AND TALK.
BUT YOU DO READ UP
ON THE CONSPIRACY STATUTES,
HUH, LUCIANO?
EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY
THAT GETS YOU OUT
OF LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY.
CHE STATUTE?
CHE STATUTE?
STATUTE DE LIBERTAD?
[ MUMBLES IN ITALIAN ]
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
[ SIGHS ]
FOLLOW MY LEAD.
UH, TEA, ANNA.
WE BROUGHT THE TEA.
WE DECIDED IT WAS TIME.
SO, DOES HE STILL SAY
HE DID IT?
UH, LUCIANO PRETTY MUCH
HAS COME OFF OF THAT NOW.
DOES HE SAY I DID IT?
HE DON’T SAY
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
SAYS HE TOLD YOU
NOT TO DO IT.
DID HE EGG YOU ON,
ANNA?
ALL HE SAYS,
"I’M‐A GONNA DO IT.
"I’M‐A GONNA DO IT.
"SHE TREAT ME LIKE DIRT
AND CALL ME A DUMB DAGO,
AND I’M‐A GONNA BRAIN HER
WITH ONE OF MY TOOLS."
AND THEN...
"I CAN’T DO IT.
"I CANNOT DO IT.
"I CANNOT BRING‐A MYSELF
"TO TAKE‐A THE HAMMER
TO HER AFTER 10:00
WHEN SHE SLEEPS A‐SOUND
LIKE A BABY EVERY NIGHT."
BUT HE ASKED YOU
TO DO IT.
"OH, ANNA...
"DON’T‐A DO IT.
"DON’T‐A DO IT.
"I DON’T‐A CARE,
EVEN IF YOU TORE UP THE WILL
"AND I GET
ALL OF THE MONEY,
"AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH,
"AND I WANT TO TAKE YOU
WITH ME TO NAPOLI
"IF SHE WAS‐A DEAD,
AND I WASN’T HER HUSBAND.
DON’T‐A DO NOTHING
TO MARY."
I’M GOING
TO INTERRUPT YOU, ANNA,
AND FOR THE SAKE
OF JUSTICE,
AND YOUR OWN PEACE
OF MIND,
I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU
TO REMEMBER DIFFERENT.
AND DIFFERENT
DON’T MEAN LIE, ANNA.
HE MAY HAVE BEEN,
UH, WINKING AT YOU
OR, UH, INDICATING
IN SOME OTHER WAY
THAT HE REALLY DID
WANT YOU TO MURDER HER
SO THE BOTH OF YOU
WOULD HAVE A NEW LIFE,
AND HE WOULD BE GUILTY
OF CONSPIRACY,
AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO
DO THE TIME BY YOURSELF.
NO!
NO.
ANNA, YOU KNOW,
JUST BETWEEN US IN THE ROOM,
WHAT ABOUT
THE CONCEPT OF LYING ‐‐
KNOWING
THAT KILLING MARY
REALLY WAS WHAT LUCIANO
WANTED YOU TO DO?
A LITTLE WHITE LIE
THAT WOULD GET AT THE TRUTH
ISN’T TECHNICALLY ‐‐
I WILL DO THE TIME,
AND WHEN I GET OUT,
THIS LITTLE FLING WITH THERESA
IS GOING TO BE OVER.
WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
WRITE?
[ URINATING ]
[ ZIPS FLY, FLUSHES TOILET ]
I ASK YOU SOMETHING,
YOU GOING TO TELL ME
THE TRUTH?
WHAT?
I’M ON RECORD
WITH THE PIPE PROBLEM.
IS THAT LIKE
EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES?
YOU KNOW, TEMPORARY INSANITY
OR SOME OTHER DAMN THING?
I’M NOT SAYING NO.
’CAUSE I’M ON RECORD
THAT THE SEX
WAS NOT PREMEDITATED.
IT WAS DEFINITELY
NOT RAPE
’CAUSE SHE
WAS ALREADY DEAD.
I’D BE PREPARED TO SAY
THE MURDER WAS ACCIDENTAL.
SAY WE PUT ALL THAT
ON ONE PLATE.
WOULD YOU BE PREPARED
TO GO FROM EYEWITNESS
TO SAYING IT WAS YOU?
I’M NOT SAYING NO.
ALL RIGHT.
BUT SO FAR,
AM I HOLDING MY OWN?
I WASN’T LOOKING.
I WAS GIVING YOU PRIVACY.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU EVER GET THE FEELING
YOU WERE WATCHING YOURSELF?
HERE’S YOU DOING SOMETHING,
AND HERE’S YOU, TOO,
WATCHING YOURSELF DOING IT.
SO CLAIMING YOU WERE
AN EYEWITNESS,
THAT WASN’T YOU DENYING
YOU COMMITTED THE CRIME.
NOT RULING MYSELF OUT
AS A SUSPECT, CORRECT.
ARE YOU GOING FOR
THE HOMICIDE NOW, MARCUS?
YOU GUYS EVER SEE
THAT JULIA ROBERTS MOVIE
WHERE SHE’S THAT MAID
WAY BACK IN OLD‐TIME ENGLAND,
AND THAT GUY IN THE HOUSE
GOT A SPLIT PERSONALITY?
COMES OUT AT NIGHT,
AN IRRESPONSIBLE MONSTER.
YOU SAW THAT MOVIE?
HEY, I AM
A JULIA ROBERTS FREAK.
ANYWAYS, WITH WHATEVER
HEAD PROBLEMS
THE DOCTORS AND THE JUDGE
CAN WORRY ABOUT,
AND WHATEVER
THE ACTUAL SEQUENCE WAS,
YOU ADMIT IT WAS YOU
INVOLVED WITH THIS GIRL.
I’M GOING FOR IRRESPONSIBLE
MONSTER COMES OUT AT NIGHT
WITH NO CONNECTION
TO THE ACTUAL MARCUS POTTER
THAT WATCHES HIM
LIKE A HELPLESS...
EYEWITNESS.
OKAY, MARCUS,
WRITE IT LIKE THAT.
LET ME ASK YOU GUYS
SOMETHING ELSE.
AND 18 MONTHS AGO
OR 12 MONTHS AGO
I WOULD TELL YOU
IT WOULD BE A WASTE
OF THE TAXPAYERS’ MONEY.
YOU THINK I COULD GET
A DIVERSION PROGRAM?
WELL, LUCIANO,
ANNA HAS CONFESSED.
ANNA?
GRAB YOUR CHEST
ALL YOU WANT.
HIM AND ME BOTH SAW
"SANFORD AND SON."
WHO’S SANFORDSON?
YOU CAN GO NOW, LUCIANO,
IS WHAT WE’RE SAYING.
BUT ANNA GOT TO STAY.
YEAH, ANNA GOT TO STAY,
JUST LIKE YOU SET IT UP.
OH, NO.
LUCIANO, LEAVE IT ALONE.
SAY NO AGAIN,
’CAUSE I WANT TO SEE YOU DO
YOUR ENZIO PINZA IMPERSONATION
WITHOUT YOUR TEETH.
I, UH,
I DON’T GET PERMISSION
TO SEE ANNA?
DO YOU GOT THE BALLS
TO RISK HER TURNING ON YOU
THIS LATE IN THE GAME?
MAYBE ANOTHER TIME.
ENZIO PINZA.

MAY I HELP YOU?
I CAN’T GO TO THE MORGUE.
I GOT A MESSAGE FROM
THE MEDICAL EXAMINER TO GO,
BUT I CAN’T.
I BELIEVE YOU WERE TALKING
WITH DETECTIVES RUSSELL
AND KIRKENDALL BEFORE.
THE MEDICAL EXAMINER
WANTS ME
TO IDENTIFY MY TWIN SISTER,
BUT I CAN’T DO IT.
I KNOW THAT UNDER
CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES,
THEY DO ALLOW OTHER
THAN NEXT OF KIN.
CAN THEY PLEASE
ALLOW THAT?
I’LL ABSOLUTELY
RELAY YOUR REQUEST.
AND RELEASE HER
TO THE JONAS BROTHERS
FUNERAL PARLOR.
I’LL RELAY ALL THAT
TO THE DETECTIVES.
HAVE THEY ARRESTED ANYONE?
FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH,
I THINK THEY HAVE.
I’M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
BEFORE YOU’RE READY TO DO
SOMETHING WITH THAT BREAK,
IT’S NO BREAK AT ALL.
I FIGURED NOW YOU’D BE READY
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.
MIGHT AS WELL GET YOUR
FRONT TEETH PUNCHED OUT
THAN GET YOUR BREAK
BEFORE YOU’RE READY.
WHAT’S THE MATTER?
THAT’S MY BREAK.
THAT’S HER
OUT AT THE DESK.
WHO?
THE GIRL I KILLED.
SHE’S ALIVE.
MARCUS,
THE DEAD GIRL
HAS A TWIN.
PROBABLY THAT’S HER.
HE WANTS ME
TO EARN MY FIRST MIRACLE.
I HATE THAT CAGEY DAGO
GETTING AWAY WITH IT.
ANY POINT TO MY HOLDING OFF
SIGNING YOUR 5s?
NO.
YOU DON’T FIGURE
12 HOURS IN A CELL
MAY PERSUADE THE COUSIN
THIS LUCIANO
WHO PUT HER UP TO THE MURDER
SHOULD GET LOCKED UP, TOO?
NO.
ACTUALLY, WHAT HARM
COULD IT DO, ANDY,
BOSS HOLDS OFF SIGNING?
FINE, DON’T SIGN.
ALL RIGHT.
I’LL HOLD OFF.
GOOD NIGHT.
NIGHT, BOSS.
SEE HOW HE AVOIDED
THAT VITAMIN SUBJECT?
LIKE THE PLAGUE.
ANTHONY, RIGHT?
CORRECT. YOU GUYS
WANT TO BUY CHOCOLATES.
NO, WE DON’T.
SURE, YOU DO ‐‐
$500 WORTH,
’CAUSE YOU’RE NOT DEALING
WITH NO RAT,
AND THAT’S HOW
I’M GOING TO TRANSACT.
IT WAS ANNA, HUH,
WITH LUCIANO EGGING HER ON?
SAKE OF DISCUSSION.
YOU GOT THIS
ON LUCIANO, RIGHT?
WHAT DO YOU GOT,
BIG MOUTH?
I GOT PLAIN, PECAN,
AND WHITE.
SOLD, DEPENDING.
POISONED HIS FIRST WIFE
IN NAPLES FIVE YEARS AGO ‐‐
SLOW‐ACTING ARSENIC,
EVERY DAY IN HER PASTACCINI.
WHICH YOU KNOW HOW?
HE TOLD THERESA THE MAID,
MAKING HIMSELF CREDIBLE
THAT MARY WAS GOING TO DIE.
AND THERESA THE MAID
TOLD YOU?
SHE’S IN
A TORMENT OF CONSCIENCE
THAT THE PRIEST DIDN’T
GIVE HER NO RELIEF FROM.
I AM HER TRUE CONFESSOR.
HEY, LET THEM DIG
THE BODY UP IN NAPLES,
AND THEN YOU’LL SEE
I’M TELLING THE TRUTH.
LOCKING A GUY UP
IS LOCKING A GUY UP, ANDY,
EVEN IN AN ALIEN
JURISDICTION.
PLUS HE’S TAKING THERESA
BACK TO NAPLES, THE MORON,
EXTRADITING HIMSELF BACK
TO THE COUNTRY OF HIS CRIME.
HOW THE HELL OLD ARE YOU?
[ Sighs ] I’M SICK OF PEOPLE
ASKING ME THAT TODAY.
27 YEARS OF AGE,
AS GOD MADE ME.
YOU GOT NO ALMONDS?
MY BOY LIKES

FOND AS I AM OF YOU,
GOOD AS WE GET ALONG,
THE SLIGHTEST WHIFF
OF PRACTICAL JOKING,
AND OUR PARTNERSHIP
IS HISTORY.
I HEAR YOU, GREG.
THE PRACTICAL JOKE
IS THE BANE OF CIVILIZED MAN.
AS FAR AS ANDY SLAMMING
HIS HAND ON THE STALL DOOR,
I GUESS NO WAY YOU COULD SAY
HE WAS WORKING ON THE CASE.
WITH A PRACTICAL JOKE
COMPONENT FOLDED IN.
AND WOULD YOU LIKE ME
TO RELATE TO YOU
INCIDENTS OF PURE
PRACTICAL JOKING
ON ANDY’S PART THAT COULD
OCCUPY OUR ENTIRE JOG?
HOW MUCH WEIGHT
HAVE YOU LOST?
3 3/4 POUNDS.
WHY?
IT’S SHOWING.
IT’S PAYING OFF.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
DO ME A FAVOR.
LET’S NOT DISCUSS
PRACTICAL JOKING
OR ITS RAMIFICATIONS
THE ENTIRE RUN.
I CAN SEE SOME BLOOD
IN THE BACK SEAT,
AND THERE’S
A WOMAN’S SHOE.
THIS GIRL REPORTS HER SISTER
MISSING AN HOUR AGO,
WE PUT AN ALARM OUT
ON THE CAR.
I JUST FINISHED TAGGING
THE CAR WHEN I HEARD.
ALL RIGHT.
LET ME OPEN THE TRUNK.
IF SHE’S SAFE,
NOTHING ELSE BOTHERS ME.
I’D FEEL THE SAME WAY.
WE DON’T KEEP
ANYTHING IN THE TRUNK.
JUST A JACK FOR FLATS?
THAT’S ALL WE KEEP.
[ Gasps ] WHAT’S IN THERE?
WHAT’S IN THERE?
WHAT’S IN THERE?
IS THERE ANYTHING

D.O.A.’s MARY GENOVA.
SHE’S IN THE BACK BEDROOM.
WHO ARE THESE TWO?
COUSIN OF THE D.O.A.
THAT LIVES HERE.
SHE SAID THE D. O. A.’s HUSBAND
FOUND THE BODY.
SITTING NEXT TO HER.
LUCIANO BACA, AND HER NAME
IS ANNABELLE CITO.
LUCIANO BACA?
YES, I’M LUCIANO.
NEW YORK CITY DETECTIVES.
GOOD, GOOD, GOOD. THIS IS
MY WIFE’S COUSIN ANNA.
HOW DO YOU DO?
I’M DANNY SORENSON.
THIS IS MY PARTNER
ANDY SIPOWICZ.
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
POOR MARY.
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR WIFE?
I DON’T SEE HER
SINCE 9:00 LAST NIGHT.
I COME TO SAY GOOD MORNING,
I FIND HER LIKE THIS,
AND THE WILL ALL TORN UP.
MARY’S WILL NAMING HER SON
FRANK AS THE BENEFICIARY.
OH, DEAR ME.
I HOPE IT’S NOT FRANK
WHO DID THIS.
DID ANYONE HEAR OR SEE
FRANK COME IN LAST NIGHT?
I’M IN MY ROOM,
LOOK AT THE TV.
YOU DON’T SLEEP IN THE SAME
ROOM WITH YOUR WIFE?
SHE KEEP ME
IN A DIFFERENT ROOM.
WHERE WERE YOU?
OH, I WAS
IN MY ROOM ALSO.
DIFFERENT FROM LUCIANO’S.
WE ARE COUSINS.
CANVAS, DANNY?
YEAH, PLEASE, GREG.
ANYTHING AFTER 9:00.
WELL, EXCUSE US.
WE’RE GOING TO GO LOOK
BACK IN THE OTHER ROOM.
I HOPE IT’S NOT FRANK.
OH, STAY CALM.
STAY CALM, LUCIANO.
SHE TEAR UP THE WILL.
MURDER, HUH?
THE DOC CAME DOWN
FOR MARY.
HOW DO YOU KNOW
SHE’S DEAD?
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO THINK,
THERE’S A RAFFLE GOING ON?
WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
ANTHONY. WHO DO YOU SUSPECT?
WE JUST STARTED LOOKING
INTO THINGS, ANTHONY.
THERE’S A SON
SHE DOESN’T SPEAK TO,
AND HER HUSBAND ‐‐
ANYTHING THAT MOVES,
STARTING WITH THE COUSIN
THAT LIVES THERE.
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
HOW OLD DO YOU
WANT ME TO BE?
YOU WANT TO COME INSIDE
WITH US?
I’D LIKE TO BREAK MY CHERRY
SEEING THIS WOMAN’S APARTMENT
I’VE LIVED ACROSS THE HALL FROM
FOR OVER 17 YEARS.
SO WE KNOW
YOU’RE AT LEAST 17.
SHERLOCK FRIGGIN’ HOLMES.
COME ON.
LET ME GET A LOOK.
DOESN’T HAVE TO
BE THE D. O. A.
GETTING PISSED OFF
AND TEARING UP THE WILL.
SOMEONE DON’T WANT
THE KID GETTING THE MONEY
KILLS HER
AND TEARS THE WILL UP.
IT’S THE SON
OR THE GOOFY GUY.
SHE HAD NICE STUFF, THE OLD
WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST.
OH, ANTHONY, AT LAST YOU GET
TO SEE MARY’S PLACE, EH?
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
GO AHEAD, GO AHEAD.
YOU WANT TO LOOK AROUND?
DON’T MIND IF I DO.
WE’RE GOING TO NEED
THE BOTH OF YOU TO COME IN.
YEAH, ALL RIGHT.
I’LL PUT ON SOME CLOTHES.
I’LL GO THE WAY I AM.
WHAT’S GOING ON
WITH HIM?
THAT’S A NEIGHBOR
THAT’S AT LEAST 17.
I TRIED SELLING HER CHOCOLATES
FIRST IN 1974.
IS THAT SO?
SHE DID EVERYTHING
BUT SPIT IN MY EYE.
HE HAD TO BE AT LEAST 4.
THAT MAKES HIM 30 MINIMUM.
SO YOU DISLIKED
THIS WOMAN.
WITH A PASSION.
WHERE WERE YOU
LAST NIGHT?
WHERE WAS I? WHAT ARE YOU,
A MORON FOR ASKING THAT?
THAT’S NOT
A DIRECT ANSWER.
I WAS IN MY APARTMENT
WITH MY COUSIN FREDDY,
OF WHICH, WHEN HE COMES TO,
HE’LL BACK ME UP.
ANDY.
MY NAME’S FRANK GENOVA.
I JUST GOT A MESSAGE
SOMEONE KILLED MY MOTHER.
WE CAN TALK IN HERE.
I’M NOT FULLY CURRENT
ON THE CASE’S PARTICULARS.
YEAH, I DON’T CARE.
UM, COFFEE?
I’M A VITAMIN DISTRIBUTOR.
THE LAST TWO DAYS, I WAS
IN TARRYTOWN, NEW YORK,
AT THE VITAWONDER
REGIONAL SUMMIT.
DOZENS OF PEOPLE SAW ME.
I SLEPT WITH SUZANNE JORDAN
AND DAPHNE SAMSON
AND DROVE BACK WITH THEM
THIS MORNING.
ESTABLISHING
YOUR WHEREABOUTS TO INDICATE
YOU WEREN’T INVOLVED
WITH YOUR MOTHER’S DEATH.
THAT’S WHAT
I’M ESTABLISHING.
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO MIGHT
HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE?
PERSONALLY AND BUSINESS‐WISE,
MY MOTHER WAS A BITCH.
I HOPE IT WASN’T THAT HANDYMAN
SHE MARRIED. HE SEEMED NICE.
AND HIS NAME?
LUCIANO.
KEPT CALLING ME, TRYING
TO GET US BACK TOGETHER.
HERE’S MY BUSINESS NUMBER.
MY WIFE ACTUALLY WAS
A DISTRIBUTOR FOR VITAWONDER
A FEW YEARS AGO.
SHE WOUND UP FEELING
IT WAS SORT OF
LIKE A PYRAMID SCHEME.
YOU CAN TELL HER
THAT THE INTERNET
IS PUTTING MULTI‐TIERED
MARKETING IN THE TOILET.
FRANK.
OH.
HI, LUCIANO.
[ SPEAKS ITALIAN ]
FRANK ‐‐
THIS IS MARY’S SON.
HEY, YOU TALK
TO SOMEONE UPSTAIRS, FRANK?
YEAH, I LEFT MY CARD.
THANK YOU.
LET GO OF HIM.
SURE, SURE.
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
WHERE WE GO NOW?
LET’S GET YOU
DISTRIBUTED.
Anna: I NEED TEA.
I’LL GET YOU DISTRIBUTED,
AND THEN I WILL BRING TEA.
NOTHING TO DRINK,
BUT PRETTY SOON,
I’VE GOT A CRAP COMING ON.
ALL RIGHT, GOOD.
LUCIANO, ANNA.
WHO TALKED
TO THE D. O. A.’s SON?
ME. HE DIDN’T DO IT.
HE DIDN’T.
HE WAS BANGING TWO WOMEN
IN TARRYTOWN ‐‐
A SUZANNE AND DAPHNE.
IF THE SON’S
OUT OF THE PICTURE,
WE’LL WANT TO LOOK
AT THE D. O. A.’s
HUSBAND NEXT.
SHE OWNED SOME PROPERTY.
HER HUSBAND’S A PAISAN
WHO WAS ALSO HER HANDYMAN,
SO HE COULD HAVE
WANTED HER DOUGH.
THERE’S ALSO
A POOR‐RELATION COUSIN
THAT LIVES WITH THEM
THAT A JUG‐EARED
PAIN‐IN‐THE‐BALLS MIDGET
THAT LIVES NEXT DOOR
WAS INFERRING THE PAISAN
HANDYMAN WAS PUTTING IT TO.
WE GOT THE HUSBAND
AND THE COUSIN TO TALK TO.
OKAY.
VITAWONDER.
THAT’S A CONVENTION
THE SON WAS AT IN TARRYTOWN.
WEREN’T THOSE THE VITAMINS
YOUR WIFE WAS SELLING
THAT MADE MEDAVOY SICK?
THEY DIDN’T. THAT TURNED OUT
TO BE FOOD POISONING.
THEN WHAT WAS
THAT BIG FLARE‐UP
ABOUT THEM VITAMINS?
THAT WAS YOU
TAKING UMBRAGE
WHEN I WOULDN’T
SELL THEM TO YOU.
YEAH. WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?
I JUST GOT UNCOMFORTABLE
PUTTING MEN ON MY SQUAD
IN THAT POSITION.
NO, BUT THAT RELUCTANCE
CAME UP SPECIFICALLY
WHEN I TRIED
TO BUY THEM VITAMINS.
ANYWAYS, THAT WAS
FIVE OR SIX YEARS AGO.
I REMEMBER THAT NOW.
KEEP THE FILTER
FOR YOUR 5s.
I REMEMBER THAT VITAWONDER.
YOU CAN CROSS
THAT FRANK OFF.
OH, PERISH WE CATCH
A GROUND BALL.
HE WAS AT ONE OF THEM
PYRAMID SCHEME PEP RALLIES
UP IN TARRYTOWN.
NO FORCED ENTRY,
NO SIGN OF STRUGGLE.
IT ARGUES AGAINST HIM
CONTRACTING THE HIT.
IF THAT WAS A CONTRACT,
I WANT TO HIRE THE HITTER.
SO PROBABLY WE LOOK
AT THE HUSBAND.
PROBABLY WE SHOULD TALK
TO THAT COUSIN FIRST,
SEE IF HER AND LUCIANO
WERE CARRYING ON.
I KNOW YOU’LL HATE
TO MAKE THAT MIDGET RIGHT.
YOU KNOW THEM ‐‐
THEM VITAWONDER VITAMINS?
NO.
FANCY USED TO SELL THEM.
ARE THEY GOOD?
MEDAVOY THOUGHT HE POISONED
HIMSELF WITH THEM,
BUT THAT TURNED OUT
TO BE CLAMS.
NO, BUT I GOT INTO SOME
BACK‐AND‐FORTH WITH FANCY
OVER HIM REFUSING
TO SELL THEM TO ME.
WHY DID HE REFUSE
TO SELL THEM TO YOU?
HE SAID HE DIDN’T WANT
TO PUT ME IN A POSITION.
THAT IS A SIDE OF HIM
YOU HAVEN’T SEEN YET.
UH, ANDY,
WHO’S SUZANNE AND DAPHNE?
I KNOW WHO THEY ARE.
JUST KEEP THE FILTER
FOR THE 5s.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
THINGS WENT BAD?
WHAT A NIGHTMARE.
THIS GIRL COMES IN TO REPORT
HER SISTER MISSING.
WE PUT AN ALARM OUT
ON THE CAR.
WE’RE DROPPING
THE GIRL HOME.
WE HEAR A CALL.
THE CAR’S BEEN FOUND
OVER THE 59th STREET BRIDGE.
OPEN THE TRUNK, THIS GIRL’S
SISTER’S IN THERE DEAD ‐‐
SHOT AND SEXUALLY ASSAULTED.
THIS IS HER TWIN.
CRIME SCENE
GIVE YOU ANYTHING?
THEY GOT ONE PRINT OFF
THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUNK.
COMES BACK
TO A MARCUS POTTER.
ONE COLLAR FOR STEALING
A CAR, THREE FOR CRACK.
THE PRINT IS NOT GOING
TO GET YOU TO BAT.
A ZILLION WAYS A LAWYER
COULD EXPLAIN IT.
LET’S HOPE MARCUS
ISN’T A LAWYER.
MARCUS POTTER?
WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
ABOUT WASTING
THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU
WERE AT THE BISHOP CAR WASH?
I NEVER WORKED AT A CAR WASH
IN MY LIFE.
WERE YOU THERE RECENTLY
IN YOUR CAR?
MY CAR IS PRESENTLY,
UH, REPOSSESSED.
OH, MAN.
WE GOT A GIRL PICKED YOU
OUT OF A MUG BOOK
FOR GROPING HER
IN THE BISHOP CAR WASH.
THAT’S ‐‐ THAT’S TOTALLY,
LIKE, MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
I NEVER GRABBED
NO ONE’S ASS.
NO ASS ANYWHERE
THREE DAYS AGO?
WHERE WAS I
THREE DAYS AGO?
THREE DAYS AGO,
I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL.
YOU GOT THE PAPERWORK?
YEAH.
PAPERWORK
WOULD SHUT THE BOSS UP.
YOU WANT TO DO US
A SOLID?
COME BACK WITH US,
BRING THE PAPERWORK,
THIS THING IS OVER.
I WAS GOING TO WATCH ONE
OF MY SHOWS RIGHT NOW.
PRETTY PLEASE, MARCUS?
WE’LL BRING YOU RIGHT BACK.
WE’LL MAKE THE BOSS
BRING HIM BACK.
I‐I GUESS I COULD
DO YOU A SOLID.
YEAH. BANK A LITTLE LOVE.
HA HA. I HEAR YOU.
OH, UH, DON’T FORGET
THAT PAPERWORK.
YEAH, YEAH.
YOU KNOW,
IT DON’T LOOK
LIKE MARY’S SON
DID IT, ANNA.
NO?
FRANKIE HAD
A PRETTY GOOD ALIBI.
WELL, THEN,
I AM AT A LOSS.
WELL, I THINK YOU KNOW
WHO WE’VE GOT TO LOOK AT NOW.
WHO?
AS MUCH REASON
AS FRANK WOULD HAVE HAD,
LUCIANO WOULD HAVE HAD
IF HE WAS IN LOVE
WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.
WE’RE NOT SITTING HERE
IN JUDGMENT, ANNA.
WE’RE JUST TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT
WHY SOMEONE
MIGHT HAVE DONE SOMETHING.
I CAN’T HELP YOU.
WAS LUCIANO
IN LOVE WITH YOU?
I DON’T KNOW
WHAT HE WAS.
THE NEIGHBORS SAY LUCIANO DIDN’T
SEEM AS HAPPY AROUND MARY
AS HE DID AROUND YOU.
DID THEY TELL YOU ANYONE
SEEMED HAPPY AROUND MARY?
YEAH. NOBODY LIKED HER.
DID THEY TELL YOU
SHE HAD LUCIANO ARRESTED
FOR USING HER TOOLS
ON SOMEBODY ELSE’S PATIO?
WE HEARD THAT STORY.
WAS HE IN LOVE WITH YOU?
DID HE EVER SAY ANYTHING
ABOUT WANTING MARY
OUT OF THE PICTURE?
I’M NOT TALKING
ABOUT IT.
WE COULD TAKE THAT
AS YOU BEING PART OF IT.
THEN TAKE IT LIKE THAT.
I’M NOT RATTING OUT
LUCIANO.
WAS IT FRANK?
NO.
NO.
ARE YOU SURE?
HEY, LUCIANO,
YOU DON’T HAVE TO
ASK US IF WE’RE SURE.
WE GET OUR FACTS RIGHT,
AND THEN WE PROCEED.
YEAH.
YEAH, FRANK WAS UPSTATE,
LUCIANO,
WITH 200 OR 300 OTHER PEOPLE
TO CORROBORATE HIS WHEREABOUTS.
WITH HIS VITAMINS, EH?
YEAH, THE VITAMIN
FRANCHISE DISTRIBUTORSHIP.
YES. NOT FRANK. NO, NO.
SO NOW WE’RE ASKING
OURSELVES, LUCIANO,
IF NOT FRANK, WHO?
AH.
WHO KILLED MARY?
AH.
I DON’T KNOW.
IF MARY DIDN’T TEAR UP
HER NEW WILL
MAKING FRANK
THE BENEFICIARY,
WHO ELSE WOULD BENEFIT FROM
THE NEW WILL BEING TORN UP?
WHO WAS GOING TO GET
MARY’S MONEY, IN OTHER WORDS?
ME.
YOU.
OH, YES, YES, ME.
SO YOU KILLED MARY.
WELL, I GET THE MONEY,
MUST BE ME, HUH?
PFFT.
PLEASE.
I NEED TO CRAP.
GRAZIE. MILLE GRAZIE.
YOU KNOW,
WHEN I GOT TO CRAP,
MY BRAIN GOES AWAY.
ALL RIGHT.
You want to know
what I think?
I think this guy’s
about as Italian
as Chef Boyardee,
and I’m about
to do something about it.
HEY, UH, JOHN, THERE’S A GIRL
IN THE CATCHING AREA.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
PERMIT HER TO LEAVE
UNTIL I’VE DEBRIEFED HER.
SURE.
The next words that
you hear cross his lips
are not going to be
with an Italian accent,
and you can take that
to the bank.
EXCUSE ME, ANDY,
WOULD YOU?
YEAH, GO AHEAD.
THIS DETECTIVE
CAN HELP YOU.
DETECTIVE,
THIS IS THERESA MANGANO,
WHO’S A MAID
AT THE BACA RESIDENCE.
MISS MANGANO.
YES, SIR.
WHEN MARY WAS MURDERED,
LUCIANO WAS WITH ME.
[ YELLING IN ITALIAN ]
NEVER MIND. SIT DOWN.
THAT’S LUCIANO.
ARE YOU BEATING HIM?
NO, NO, NO.
[ TOILET FLUSHES ]
MEDAVOY, BRING THIS GUY OUT
WHEN HE’S DONE.
OH, YEAH. SURE, ANDY.
ANYTHING FOR YOU.
[ TOILET FLUSHES ]
HELLO.
HOW ARE YOU?
UH, ANDY,
THIS IS THERESA,
WHO’S A MAID
AT THE BACA RESIDENCE
THAT SAYS LUCIANO
WAS WITH HER.
HELLO.
I WAS WITH LUCIANO.
LUCIANO SAYS
HE WAS ALONE.
NO. WITH ME,
PROTECTING
MY REPUTATION.
SAYING HE WAS ALONE
WAS PROTECTING
YOUR REPUTATION.
ANYWAY, THERESA,
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT MARY’S DEATH?
NO. NOTHING ABOUT MARY.
ALL RIGHT. WRITE DOWN
YOUR ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER.
I GOT TO GO TALK
TO MY PRIEST.
AHEM. ALL RIGHT.
APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN.
IF WE NEED ANYTHING ELSE,
WE’LL BE IN TOUCH.
WHAT, TAKE IT TO ANNA
LUCIANO WAS PLAYING AROUND?
THIS IS A QUAGMIRE.
CARE TO BE
MORE SPECIFIC
WHERE YOU’D LIKE
THIS GENTLEMAN TAKEN?
YEAH. TAKE THAT GENTLEMAN
INTO THE COFFEE ROOM.
BA‐BOOM. EH.
EH.
HE SOUNDED PRETTY ITALIAN
IN THERE.
I’M STILL NOT CONVINCED.
HERE’S YOUR PAPERWORK,
MARCUS.
YOU SHOW YOUR BOSS
I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL
BEHIND THESE HEMORRHOIDS?
YEAH. YOU’RE CLEAR
FOR THREE DAYS AGO.
TRUTH IS THOUGH,
MARCUS,
THIS GIRL WAS GROPED
LAST NIGHT.
OH. LAST NIGHT.
LAST NIGHT
IN THE BISHOP CAR WASH,
SOMEBODY GROPED THIS GIRL
THAT SHE SAYS WAS YOU.
WELL, UH,
I STILL NEVER WORKED THERE,
AND MY CAR
WAS STILL REPOSSESSED,
SO I WASN’T EVEN GROPING
NO ONE.
WRITE THAT.
AND ACCOUNT
FOR YOUR TIME.
IN OTHER WORDS,
YOU GUYS SHOT ME
THROUGH THE GREASE
TO GET ME IN HERE.
MAYBE A LITTLE.
ALL RIGHT.
AS LONG AS WE STRAIGHT
WITH EACH OTHER.
MIND IF WE BRING
A COUPLE OF OTHER DETECTIVES
TO GO OVER YOUR STATEMENT
WITH US?
OH, HELL, NO.
THE TRUTH
IS MY PROTECTOR.
I HAVEN’T WROTE THAT MUCH
SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.
IS THAT RIGHT?
I‐I DON’T EVEN KNOW
IF I WROTE THAT MUCH
WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL,
YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING?
OH, YEAH?
WELL,
THAT COVERS YOU
AND THE BISHOP
CAR WASH GROPER.
OH, HEY.
WHO’S DRIVING ME HOME?
NOW TELL US
ABOUT THIS GIRL.
OH, WHOA. MNH‐MNH.
NO. I DON’T KNOW
THAT GIRL.
YOUR FINGERPRINT’S
ON HER CAR, MARCUS.
TH‐THIS IS MANHATTAN ISLAND
IN NEW YORK CITY.
HOW MANY OTHER
DAMN FINGERPRINTS WAS ON IT?
JUST YOURS.
WHILE YOU WERE HOLDING
THE TRUNK
WHILE YOU WERE WIPING
THAT PART CLEAN,
THAT’S WHERE YOU LEFT
YOUR PRINT.
MAYBE THAT’S THE SPOT
WHERE WHOEVER DID IT MISSED,
AND MY PRINT
IS AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER
FROM WHENEVER I MIGHT HAVE
TOUCHED THE TRUNK
SIX MONTHS AGO
OR ANY OTHER DAMN TIME.
NO, THAT’S NOT
GOING TO WORK, MARCUS.
ONLY PRINT LEFT
AT THE SCENE
OF A VICIOUS MURDER.
I’LL TELL YOU THE OTHER THING
YOU GOT TO WORRY ABOUT
IS IF YOUR DNA MATCHES
THE DNA SAMPLE
WE TAKE FROM THE SEMEN
ON THAT GIRL’S BODY.
WHICH WOULD MAKE IT
A VICIOUS
PREMEDITATED MURDER.
THE RAPE DOES MAKE IT
PREMEDITATED, YEAH.
WHICH BUYS YOU
THE NEEDLE, MARCUS.
WASN’T ME.
IT WAS NOT YOU?
IT WAS NOT ME.
LOOK, I WANT
TO TELL YOU SOMETHING,
AND I AIN’T ASHAMED
TO TELL YOU,
YOU KNOW, BECAUSE
I’M CLOSING WITH IT.
COME ON, THEN.
I GOT A LITTLE PROBLEM
WITH THE PIPE.
YOU DO?
YES, I DO.
AND HOW DOES THAT
FIGURE IN?
WELL, HOW THE PIPE
FIGURES IN?
ALL RIGHT.
THE PREMEDITATION.
FIRST OFF,
YOU KNOW,
WHEN I’M BEHIND THE CRACK,
YOU KNOW, IT’S LIKE
I’M OUT OF MY MIND.
SAYING YOU WERE CRAZY
WHEN YOU DID THIS.
NO, I’M NOT SAYING
THAT I DID IT AT ALL.
I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT SAYING
THAT I DID IT.
YOU’RE SAYING YOU GOT
A PROBLEM BEHIND THE CRACK.
THAT’S ALL I’M TRYING
TO SAY SO FAR.
WE KNOW YOU DID IT.
AH, HEY...
THE PREMEDITATION.
THIS IS HOW
YOU RULE THAT OUT,
AND THE CRACK FITS IN.
THE SEX COME
AFTER THAT GIRL DIED.
AND I’M NOT SAYING
THAT I COMMITTED THE SEX
OR THE MURDER.
I JUST HAPPEN TO KNOW THAT
FOR A FACT.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IT?
I MEAN, YOU KNOW,
YOU EVER HEARD
OF AN EYEWITNESS?
SO YOU’RE SAYING
YOU SAW SOMEONE ELSE
MURDER THIS GIRL,
THEN HAVE SEX ON HER
AFTER SHE WAS DEAD?
AND IN MY CRACKED‐OUT
INSANITY,
I NEVER LIFTED A HAND
AGAINST HIM.
BUT YOU DID LOAN HIM
YOUR SEMEN
TO LEAVE ON THE BODY.
ALL RIGHT.
MM. LET ME THINK.
SURE.
WE GOT ALL THE TIME
YOU NEED.
AHEM.
HE SAYS HE KILLED HIS WIFE,
THIS LUCIANO,
BUT HOW HE SAYS IT,
YOU KNOW
HE DOESN’T MEAN IT.
ANNA, THE COUSIN THAT
HE IS ABSOLUTELY PUTTING IT TO,
SHE WON’T TAKE A POSITION,
DID LUCIANO DO IT OR NOT,
BUT HOW
SHE WON’T TAKE IT,
SHE DEFINITELY EXPECTS
WE COLLAR HIM ANYWAY.
IN COMES
THERESA THE MAID ‐‐
ALIBIS LUCIANO OUT.
WHILE THE D.O.A.
IS GETTING MURDERED,
LUCIANO IS BANGING HER.
WHERE ARE WE?
WHERE WE ARE...
[ SIGHS ]
IF THE MAID
IS TELLING THE TRUTH,
IT’S GOT TO BE THE COUSIN
KILLED THE WIFE.
AHEM. IF LUCIANO WAS
WITH THERESA THE MAID,
AND THE MURDER COME
FROM INSIDE THE FAMILY,
THEN IT’S GOT TO BE
THE HOMELY COUSIN ANNA.
’CAUSE FRANK THE SON,
OFF YOUR OWN INTERVIEW,
WE ESTABLISHED
HE WAS UP IN TARRYTOWN.
YEAH, AT THAT
VITAMIN CONVENTION,
WHICH WHO WOULD KNOW
BETTER ABOUT THAN YOU?
WHY WOULD
THE COUSIN DO IT?
WHY WOULD
THE COUSIN DO IT?
YOU THINK THAT WE’RE GOING
TO FIND THAT OUT IN HERE?
AND WHAT DID HE SAY?
UH, HE WENT FOR IT ‐‐
LUCIANO.
HE SAID HE KILLED MARY.
OH, GOD!
WELL, BELIEVE ME,
IF THIS ISN’T
TEMPORARY INSANITY,
THEY SHOULD
THROW OUT THE LAW.
WHAT SHE PUT
THAT POOR MAN THROUGH.
BUT THEN THERESA,
WHO WORKS AT THE HOUSE,
SAYS 10:15, 10:30,
WHEN THE NEIGHBORS
HEAR THE SCREAMING,
LUCIANO WAS WITH HER.
WHAT DOES LUCIANO SAY?
SAYS HE KILLED MARY,
LIKE WE JUST TOLD YOU.
THIS GIRL WANTS TO BE
WITH LUCIANO,
WHY SHE MADE UP
THAT STORY.
DID YOU DO IT, ANNA?
DID I DO IT?
DID I DO IT?
YEAH. SUPPOSE IT WAS
YOU IN LOVE WITH HIM
AND WANTING MARY
OUT OF THE WAY.
DID I DO IT?
THAT WOULD MAKE
THERESA’S STORY FIT.
LUCIANO SAID HE DID IT.
WELL, MAYBE HE’S TRYING
TO COVER UP FOR YOU.
N‐NO.
THIS GIRL WANTS LUCIANO.
THAT’S WHY SHE MADE UP
THE STORY.
SOUNDS LIKE
EVERYONE WANTS LUCIANO.
HOW ABOUT THIS, ANNA?
SUPPOSE YOU DID IT.
HE GOT YOU TO DO IT
WITHOUT YOU KNOWING,
AND EVEN
WITH HIM CONFESSING,
HE PUT SO MANY HOLES
IN HIS STORY
THAT WE DON’T BELIEVE HIM?
SUPPOSE IT’S THERESA HE WANTS
TO BE THROWING HUMPS INTO
AND HE MADE YOU A PATSY.
Anna: NO!
NO, HUH?
ANNA.
ANNA?
ANNA.
[ SIGHS ]
WE WANT YOU
TO THINK THINGS OVER NOW.
WE WANT TO KNOW
IF HE AGITATED YOU
INTO DOING THIS,
BECAUSE THAT
TEMPORARY INSANITY LAW
THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT ‐‐
WELL, THAT’S STILL
ON THE BOOKS,
AND IT’S AVAILABLE
TO YOU AS WELL,
AND OTHERWISE...
THIS LOOKS PREMEDITATED.
I NEED MORE TEA.
NOW?
NO. LEAVE ME ALONE
FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
OKAY.
JUST LET US KNOW
WHEN YOU NEED THE TEA.
[ EXHALES DEEPLY ]
WHAT I JUST SAID
TO THIS ANNA ‐‐
YEAH, LUCIANO MOVED HER
TO WHACK MARY.
I THINK
THAT’S WHAT I BELIEVE.
MEANING THIS ONE’S
GOING TO SKATE.
UNLESS WE CONVINCE HIM
HE’S GOING FOR CONSPIRACY.
CAN WE GET HIM THERE?
FOLLOW MY LEAD.
OH HO.
THE BIG NOISY MAN, HUH?
WHERE ARE YOU FROM THERE,
LUCIANO, HUH?
RED HOOK? BUSHWICK?
NAPOLI.
WHAT,
I DON’T TELL YOU?
NAPOLI, UH?
YOU BELIEVE THIS GUY?
ALL HE NEEDS
IS AN ACCORDION
AND ONE OF THEM
SQUEAKY LITTLE MONKEYS.
ANYWAYS, LUCIANO,
DESPITE YOU SAYING THAT
IT WAS YOU WHO KILLED MARY,
WE’VE COME TO BELIEVE
IT WAS ANNA.
ANNA? NO.
ANNA. YES.
IT WAS ME
WHO GET THE MONEY.
ANNA. YES.
WITH YOU GETTING THE MONEY.
NO. NO.
YES, BUT THAT DON’T
QUITE QUALIFY YOU
FOR CRIMINAL MASTERMIND,
LUCIANO,
BECAUSE HERE
IN THE U. S. OF A.,
WE GOT WHAT’S CALLED
CONSPIRACY LAWS.
PLEASE. CON‐‐ CONSH‐‐
CONSPIR‐‐
NO, UH ‐‐ CONSPIR‐‐
CONSPIR‐‐
A CONSPIRACY,
LUCIANO,
IS EVEN THOUGH ANNA’S DOING
THE BODYWORK ON MARY,
YOU EGGING HER ALONG.
I, UH, I EGG ANNA?
YEAH, YEAH.
YOU EGG HER.
YOU GET HER TO DO IT.
NO, NO, NO.
I TELL ANNA,
"DON’T DO IT,"
AND THEN I DO IT.
GET OFF YOU DOING IT!
YOU DIDN’T DO IT!
YOU WERE WITH THERESA!
I TELL ANNA,
"DON’T DO IT,"
AND I DON’T BELIEVE
THAT SHE DOES.
OH, MEANING THAT
YOU WERE WITH THERESA.
OH, HA. NO!
I DON’T KISS AND TALK.
BUT YOU DO READ UP
ON THE CONSPIRACY STATUTES,
HUH, LUCIANO?
EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY
THAT GETS YOU OUT
OF LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY.
CHE STATUTE?
CHE STATUTE?
STATUTE DE LIBERTAD?
[ MUMBLES IN ITALIAN ]
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
[ SIGHS ]
FOLLOW MY LEAD.
UH, TEA, ANNA.
WE BROUGHT THE TEA.
WE DECIDED IT WAS TIME.
SO, DOES HE STILL SAY
HE DID IT?
UH, LUCIANO PRETTY MUCH
HAS COME OFF OF THAT NOW.
DOES HE SAY I DID IT?
HE DON’T SAY
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
SAYS HE TOLD YOU
NOT TO DO IT.
DID HE EGG YOU ON,
ANNA?
ALL HE SAYS,
"I’M‐A GONNA DO IT.
"I’M‐A GONNA DO IT.
"SHE TREAT ME LIKE DIRT
AND CALL ME A DUMB DAGO,
AND I’M‐A GONNA BRAIN HER
WITH ONE OF MY TOOLS."
AND THEN...
"I CAN’T DO IT.
"I CANNOT DO IT.
"I CANNOT BRING‐A MYSELF
"TO TAKE‐A THE HAMMER
TO HER AFTER 10:00
WHEN SHE SLEEPS A‐SOUND
LIKE A BABY EVERY NIGHT."
BUT HE ASKED YOU
TO DO IT.
"OH, ANNA...
"DON’T‐A DO IT.
"DON’T‐A DO IT.
"I DON’T‐A CARE,
EVEN IF YOU TORE UP THE WILL
"AND I GET
ALL OF THE MONEY,
"AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH,
"AND I WANT TO TAKE YOU
WITH ME TO NAPOLI
"IF SHE WAS‐A DEAD,
AND I WASN’T HER HUSBAND.
DON’T‐A DO NOTHING
TO MARY."
I’M GOING
TO INTERRUPT YOU, ANNA,
AND FOR THE SAKE
OF JUSTICE,
AND YOUR OWN PEACE
OF MIND,
I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU
TO REMEMBER DIFFERENT.
AND DIFFERENT
DON’T MEAN LIE, ANNA.
HE MAY HAVE BEEN,
UH, WINKING AT YOU
OR, UH, INDICATING
IN SOME OTHER WAY
THAT HE REALLY DID
WANT YOU TO MURDER HER
SO THE BOTH OF YOU
WOULD HAVE A NEW LIFE,
AND HE WOULD BE GUILTY
OF CONSPIRACY,
AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO
DO THE TIME BY YOURSELF.
NO!
NO.
ANNA, YOU KNOW,
JUST BETWEEN US IN THE ROOM,
WHAT ABOUT
THE CONCEPT OF LYING ‐‐
KNOWING
THAT KILLING MARY
REALLY WAS WHAT LUCIANO
WANTED YOU TO DO?
A LITTLE WHITE LIE
THAT WOULD GET AT THE TRUTH
ISN’T TECHNICALLY ‐‐
I WILL DO THE TIME,
AND WHEN I GET OUT,
THIS LITTLE FLING WITH THERESA
IS GOING TO BE OVER.
WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
WRITE?
[ URINATING ]
[ ZIPS FLY, FLUSHES TOILET ]
I ASK YOU SOMETHING,
YOU GOING TO TELL ME
THE TRUTH?
WHAT?
I’M ON RECORD
WITH THE PIPE PROBLEM.
IS THAT LIKE
EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES?
YOU KNOW, TEMPORARY INSANITY
OR SOME OTHER DAMN THING?
I’M NOT SAYING NO.
’CAUSE I’M ON RECORD
THAT THE SEX
WAS NOT PREMEDITATED.
IT WAS DEFINITELY
NOT RAPE
’CAUSE SHE
WAS ALREADY DEAD.
I’D BE PREPARED TO SAY
THE MURDER WAS ACCIDENTAL.
SAY WE PUT ALL THAT
ON ONE PLATE.
WOULD YOU BE PREPARED
TO GO FROM EYEWITNESS
TO SAYING IT WAS YOU?
I’M NOT SAYING NO.
ALL RIGHT.
BUT SO FAR,
AM I HOLDING MY OWN?
I WASN’T LOOKING.
I WAS GIVING YOU PRIVACY.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU EVER GET THE FEELING
YOU WERE WATCHING YOURSELF?
HERE’S YOU DOING SOMETHING,
AND HERE’S YOU, TOO,
WATCHING YOURSELF DOING IT.
SO CLAIMING YOU WERE
AN EYEWITNESS,
THAT WASN’T YOU DENYING
YOU COMMITTED THE CRIME.
NOT RULING MYSELF OUT
AS A SUSPECT, CORRECT.
ARE YOU GOING FOR
THE HOMICIDE NOW, MARCUS?
YOU GUYS EVER SEE
THAT JULIA ROBERTS MOVIE
WHERE SHE’S THAT MAID
WAY BACK IN OLD‐TIME ENGLAND,
AND THAT GUY IN THE HOUSE
GOT A SPLIT PERSONALITY?
COMES OUT AT NIGHT,
AN IRRESPONSIBLE MONSTER.
YOU SAW THAT MOVIE?
HEY, I AM
A JULIA ROBERTS FREAK.
ANYWAYS, WITH WHATEVER
HEAD PROBLEMS
THE DOCTORS AND THE JUDGE
CAN WORRY ABOUT,
AND WHATEVER
THE ACTUAL SEQUENCE WAS,
YOU ADMIT IT WAS YOU
INVOLVED WITH THIS GIRL.
I’M GOING FOR IRRESPONSIBLE
MONSTER COMES OUT AT NIGHT
WITH NO CONNECTION
TO THE ACTUAL MARCUS POTTER
THAT WATCHES HIM
LIKE A HELPLESS...
EYEWITNESS.
OKAY, MARCUS,
WRITE IT LIKE THAT.
LET ME ASK YOU GUYS
SOMETHING ELSE.
AND 18 MONTHS AGO
OR 12 MONTHS AGO
I WOULD TELL YOU
IT WOULD BE A WASTE
OF THE TAXPAYERS’ MONEY.
YOU THINK I COULD GET
A DIVERSION PROGRAM?
WELL, LUCIANO,
ANNA HAS CONFESSED.
ANNA?
GRAB YOUR CHEST
ALL YOU WANT.
HIM AND ME BOTH SAW
"SANFORD AND SON."
WHO’S SANFORDSON?
YOU CAN GO NOW, LUCIANO,
IS WHAT WE’RE SAYING.
BUT ANNA GOT TO STAY.
YEAH, ANNA GOT TO STAY,
JUST LIKE YOU SET IT UP.
OH, NO.
LUCIANO, LEAVE IT ALONE.
SAY NO AGAIN,
’CAUSE I WANT TO SEE YOU DO
YOUR ENZIO PINZA IMPERSONATION
WITHOUT YOUR TEETH.
I, UH,
I DON’T GET PERMISSION
TO SEE ANNA?
DO YOU GOT THE BALLS
TO RISK HER TURNING ON YOU
THIS LATE IN THE GAME?
MAYBE ANOTHER TIME.
ENZIO PINZA.

MAY I HELP YOU?
I CAN’T GO TO THE MORGUE.
I GOT A MESSAGE FROM
THE MEDICAL EXAMINER TO GO,
BUT I CAN’T.
I BELIEVE YOU WERE TALKING
WITH DETECTIVES RUSSELL
AND KIRKENDALL BEFORE.
THE MEDICAL EXAMINER
WANTS ME
TO IDENTIFY MY TWIN SISTER,
BUT I CAN’T DO IT.
I KNOW THAT UNDER
CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES,
THEY DO ALLOW OTHER
THAN NEXT OF KIN.
CAN THEY PLEASE
ALLOW THAT?
I’LL ABSOLUTELY
RELAY YOUR REQUEST.
AND RELEASE HER
TO THE JONAS BROTHERS
FUNERAL PARLOR.
I’LL RELAY ALL THAT
TO THE DETECTIVES.
HAVE THEY ARRESTED ANYONE?
FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH,
I THINK THEY HAVE.
I’M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
BEFORE YOU’RE READY TO DO
SOMETHING WITH THAT BREAK,
IT’S NO BREAK AT ALL.
I FIGURED NOW YOU’D BE READY
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.
MIGHT AS WELL GET YOUR
FRONT TEETH PUNCHED OUT
THAN GET YOUR BREAK
BEFORE YOU’RE READY.
WHAT’S THE MATTER?
THAT’S MY BREAK.
THAT’S HER
OUT AT THE DESK.
WHO?
THE GIRL I KILLED.
SHE’S ALIVE.
MARCUS,
THE DEAD GIRL
HAS A TWIN.
PROBABLY THAT’S HER.
HE WANTS ME
TO EARN MY FIRST MIRACLE.
I HATE THAT CAGEY DAGO
GETTING AWAY WITH IT.
ANY POINT TO MY HOLDING OFF
SIGNING YOUR 5s?
NO.
YOU DON’T FIGURE
12 HOURS IN A CELL
MAY PERSUADE THE COUSIN
THIS LUCIANO
WHO PUT HER UP TO THE MURDER
SHOULD GET LOCKED UP, TOO?
NO.
ACTUALLY, WHAT HARM
COULD IT DO, ANDY,
BOSS HOLDS OFF SIGNING?
FINE, DON’T SIGN.
ALL RIGHT.
I’LL HOLD OFF.
GOOD NIGHT.
NIGHT, BOSS.
SEE HOW HE AVOIDED
THAT VITAMIN SUBJECT?
LIKE THE PLAGUE.
ANTHONY, RIGHT?
CORRECT. YOU GUYS
WANT TO BUY CHOCOLATES.
NO, WE DON’T.
SURE, YOU DO ‐‐
$500 WORTH,
’CAUSE YOU’RE NOT DEALING
WITH NO RAT,
AND THAT’S HOW
I’M GOING TO TRANSACT.
IT WAS ANNA, HUH,
WITH LUCIANO EGGING HER ON?
SAKE OF DISCUSSION.
YOU GOT THIS
ON LUCIANO, RIGHT?
WHAT DO YOU GOT,
BIG MOUTH?
I GOT PLAIN, PECAN,
AND WHITE.
SOLD, DEPENDING.
POISONED HIS FIRST WIFE
IN NAPLES FIVE YEARS AGO ‐‐
SLOW‐ACTING ARSENIC,
EVERY DAY IN HER PASTACCINI.
WHICH YOU KNOW HOW?
HE TOLD THERESA THE MAID,
MAKING HIMSELF CREDIBLE
THAT MARY WAS GOING TO DIE.
AND THERESA THE MAID
TOLD YOU?
SHE’S IN
A TORMENT OF CONSCIENCE
THAT THE PRIEST DIDN’T
GIVE HER NO RELIEF FROM.
I AM HER TRUE CONFESSOR.
HEY, LET THEM DIG
THE BODY UP IN NAPLES,
AND THEN YOU’LL SEE
I’M TELLING THE TRUTH.
LOCKING A GUY UP
IS LOCKING A GUY UP, ANDY,
EVEN IN AN ALIEN
JURISDICTION.
PLUS HE’S TAKING THERESA
BACK TO NAPLES, THE MORON,
EXTRADITING HIMSELF BACK
TO THE COUNTRY OF HIS CRIME.
HOW THE HELL OLD ARE YOU?
[ Sighs ] I’M SICK OF PEOPLE
ASKING ME THAT TODAY.
27 YEARS OF AGE,
AS GOD MADE ME.
YOU GOT NO ALMONDS?
MY BOY LIKES
CHOCOLATE ALMONDS.
CHOCOLATE ALMONDS
I CAN GET.
CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOWS,
PLUS...
ORIGINAL METS MEMORABILIA.
YOU LIKE MARV THORNBERRY?

FOND AS I AM OF YOU,
GOOD AS WE GET ALONG,
THE SLIGHTEST WHIFF
OF PRACTICAL JOKING,
AND OUR PARTNERSHIP
IS HISTORY.
I HEAR YOU, GREG.
THE PRACTICAL JOKE
IS THE BANE OF CIVILIZED MAN.
AS FAR AS ANDY SLAMMING
HIS HAND ON THE STALL DOOR,
I GUESS NO WAY YOU COULD SAY
HE WAS WORKING ON THE CASE.
WITH A PRACTICAL JOKE
COMPONENT FOLDED IN.
AND WOULD YOU LIKE ME
TO RELATE TO YOU
INCIDENTS OF PURE
PRACTICAL JOKING
ON ANDY’S PART THAT COULD
OCCUPY OUR ENTIRE JOG?
HOW MUCH WEIGHT
HAVE YOU LOST?
3 3/4 POUNDS.
WHY?
