It's James' last day with the squad before he moves on as a sergeant. Jill's ex is in the wind and causing more problems for Jill.
BULLET THEY DUG OUT
OF OUR D. O. A. CAME OUT
OF THE SAME GUN USED
IN YOUR SHOOTING TWO YEARS AGO.
HE DON’T WANT
TO COME OUT WITH US,
DOES HE, THIS LAZY BUM?
YEAH, HOW ABOUT THAT?
BALLISTICS MAKES A MATCH.
I GUESS EVEN A STOPPED CLOCK’S
RIGHT TWICE A DAY.
BELIEVE ME, THIS FAT‐ASS
DOES NOT COME WITH US
TO RE‐INTERVIEW HIS VICTIM.
HE SITS RIGHT ON HIS PILES
IN THAT STATION HOUSE.
BEING WE GOT NO LEADS IN OUR
OWN INVESTIGATION, TOMMY,
ANDY SIPOWICZ AND ME
THOUGHT WE’D COME TALK
TO THE VICTIM IN YOUR SHOOTING
WHERE THE SAME GUN WAS USED.
Fancy: THIS YOUR D.O.A.
FROM LAST NIGHT?
"GIVE ANDY MY BEST
AND TELL HIM I HAVEN’T MOVED
SIX YEARS SINCE HE SAW ME."
YEAH,
HE SAID TO SAY HI.
HE’S HAVING
HIS MORNING CONSTITUTIONAL.
YEAH, WE CATCH
SOME BREAK.
WE GOT THIS
ON OUR HOMICIDE
OFF CRIME SCENE AND CANVASS.
HERE COMES BALLISTICS CATCHING
A MATCH WITH A CASE
OF LARD‐ASS TOMMY
COLANGELO’S
FROM TWO YEARS AGO.
COLANGELO’S NOT COMING OUT
TO RE‐INTERVIEW.
TOMMY COLANGELO
DON’T RE‐INTERVIEW
WITH NEW INFORMATION
ON THE HOFFA CASE.
NO, ABSOLUTELY.
IF YOU DON’T FEEL
YOU COULD CONTRIBUTE...
WHAT’S HE SAYING,
A MIGRAINE?
IF IT MIGHT PUT HIM OFF,
DEFINITELY STAY AWAY.
HE FEELS HE MAY HAVE
ALIENATED THE VICTIM.
ALL HIS AGGRESSIVE DETECTIVE
WORK TWO YEARS AGO.
AND THEN IF ANYTHING
NEW DEVELOPS,
WE’LL KEEP YOU POSTED,
ALL RIGHT, TOMMY?
SAYS GO IT ALONE, TOM.
[ ALL CHUCKLE ]
WHO WAS THAT,
TOMMY COLANGELO, HUH?
REMEMBER THAT CASE
WE WORKED WITH HIM?
HAD TO BE
ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO.
THAT’S RIGHT.
HE NEVER GOT OFF HIS ASS.
SERGEANT MARTINEZ.
HEY.
NOT TILL TOMORROW.
LET THE GUY DO
A LAST DAY’S HONEST WORK.
ANYWAYS...
WE’LL GO OUT AND TALK
TO THIS GUY.
YEAH, THAT’D BE
SOME BREAK, HUH?
YEAH, IT LOOKED
LIKE A COMPLETE MYSTERY.
AFTERWARDS, WE STILL GOT SOME
CELEBRATING TO DO, ANYWAYS.
YEAH.
7:00 AT MAC’S, RIGHT?
YOU’RE COMING, RIGHT?
YEAH, GREG SAYS
HE’S PICKING UP THE TAB.
YEAH, RIGHT, DANNY.
HA HA.
HI.
HI.
SO, UH, YOU DON’T HAVE
TO HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH THAT
TASK FORCE GUY, JILL.
DON’T GIVE HIM ANYTHING.
OKAY.
HOW ABOUT THIS?
THEY’VE ALREADY GOT
ALL THE EVIDENCE THEY NEED.
THE FEDERAL PROSECUTOR’S
JUST AFRAID TO GO TO BAT.
THIS TASK FORCE GUY
COULDN’T EVEN BELIEVE
THEY GAVE DON A DEAL.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT HIM
TO OPEN UP PRETTY GOOD.
OH, YEAH.
SO YOU MAKING DROPS FOR DON
NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS GOING ON,
KEEP THAT TO YOURSELF.
THAT’S NOT COMING UP
IN A MILLION YEARS.
YOU DIDN’T DRINK
WITH HIM?
NO, NO.
I TOLD HIM I, UH,
I TOLD HIM I GOT OFF
WATCHING HIM DRINK.
GOT A LITTLE MESSY
AT THE END, WAS ALL,
BUT NOTHING 50 GALLONS
OF LAVORIS WON’T CURE.
I’M SORRY, DIANE.
DON’T BE.
I WAS GLAD TO FIND OUT
WHERE YOU STOOD.
I JUST HAVEN’T BEEN OUT
THAT LATE IN A WHILE.
THANKS A LOT.
THIS IS GOING TO GET ME
IN REAL GOOD WITH MY BOSS.
PUT THE BROOMS
FROM THERE TO THERE.
MAKE YOURSELF LOOK BUSY.
YOU DON’T WANT US
LEAVING TWICE DAILY MESSAGES
FOR YOU TO CONTACT US AT OUR
STATION HOUSE, RAY, DO YA?
YOU’RE A CITIZEN
OF THIS NATION, RAY, RIGHT?
AND?
AND YOU WERE INVOLVED
IN A SHOOTING TWO YEARS AGO.
I GOT SHOT IN THE BACK.
THAT WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT?
THE SAME GUN
THAT SHOT YOU
WAS USED LAST NIGHT
IN ANOTHER CRIME.
RAY, WHAT WE CALL THE DD5
OF THE INCIDENT TWO YEARS AGO
DESCRIBES YOU
AS UNCOOPERATIVE.
WHICH I FIND HARD
TO BELIEVE
GIVEN HOW FORTHCOMING
WE SEE YOU AT PRESENT.
HOW AM I GOING
TO BE COOPERATIVE?
I GOT SHOT IN THE BACK.
I DIDN’T SEE ANYTHING.
IF THAT WAS THE CASE,
THIS DD5 WOULD SAY
THAT THE VICTIM
COULD NOT IDENTIFY.
THAT’S NOT WHAT IT SAYS. SEE
WHERE IT SAYS "UNCOOPERATIVE"?
DON’T BE DEMONSTRATIVE.
RAY, OUR EXPERIENCE,
THE COMBINATION
SHOT IN THE BACK
AND UNCOOPERATIVE OFTENTIMES
INDICATES THAT THE VICTIM
ISN’T SO MUCH UNABLE
TO IDENTIFY THE PERPETRATOR
AS HE IS UNWILLING.
WHICH WE COULD GIVE LESS
OF A RAT’S ASS ABOUT, RAY.
YOU GOT SHOT. YOU DON’T
WANT TO PRESS CHARGES, FINE.
BUT YOU AIN’T THE VICTIM
IN THIS SHOOTING
LAST NIGHT, RAY.
LAST NIGHT’S VICTIM,
RAY, IS DEAD,
AND WE’RE ASKING YOU
TO REALIZE YOU’RE SOMEWHAT
AT A SKILL LEVEL,
WHEN COPS COME TALKING
TO YOU ALL THE TIME,
YOUR BOSS BEGINS REGARDING YOU
AS A NON‐ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEE.
WHAT GOOD’S MY INFORMATION
GOING TO DO YOU, ANYWAY, MAN?
TWO YEARS IS TWO YEARS.
THAT GUN’S PROBABLY
CHANGED HANDS MORE TIMES
THAN A $20 BILL.
MAYBE, RAY,
AND THEN AGAIN, MAYBE NOT.
SOME PEOPLE DEVELOP A DEEP
AFFECTION FOR THEIR HANDGUNS.
GUY ON MY STREET
STARTS CLOWNING ME
ABOUT MY UNIFORM.
I WAS WORKING FAST FOOD THEN.
THIS IS IN FRONT
OF PEOPLE.
PUT A NAME ON THE GUY.
JASON WIGGINS.
YEAH, I TELL HIM
TO GET ON THESE.
I TURN AROUND
AND WALK AWAY.
JASON TAKES THAT AS DISRESPECT,
YELLS AT ME TO TURN AROUND.
I DON’T. I GET SHOT.
IF HE’S STILL
GOT THAT PIECE,
I HEARD HE
CLEANED UP HIS ACT.
NOW IF YOU’LL EXCUSE ME,
I GOT TO KISS MY MANAGER’S ASS.
GO AHEAD, RAY.
YEAH, I’M CITIZEN
OF THE WEEK.
SEE IF JASON WIGGINS
HAS GOT A SHEET?
I’M CONFIDENT HE MAY.
JASON’S ONE OF THEM GUYS,
EARTH STARTS SHAKING,
HE’S IN THE STREET,
HALF A CHANCE OF STAYING
OUT OF HARM’S WAY,
RUNS INTO THE BIGGEST BUILDING
HE CAN FIND.
GOD FORBID HE JUST
STAYS OUT IN THE STREET
AND WINDS UP WITH JUST
A COUPLE SCRATCHES.
YEAH, JASON WANTS
TO POSITION HIMSELF
SO INSTEAD OF TAKING ADVANTAGE
OF WHERE HE HAPPENED TO BE
WHEN THE EARTHQUAKE BEGAN,
HE’S LOCATED WHERE NOT
A SINGLE ONE
OF THEM SLABS OF CONCRETE
FROM THAT HUGE BUILDING
THAT HE RAN INTO
MISSES LANDING
ON HIS BIG DOPEY HEAD.
YOU GET WHERE WE’RE GOING
WITH ANY OF THIS, JASON, HUH?
NOBODY IS LOOKING TO MAKE YOU
THE MAIN PERFORMER.
PERFORMER?
I AIN’T IN YOUR CIRCUS
NO KIND OF WAY.
I AIN’T PLAYIN’.
OKAY, JASON, YOU
REMIND THEM UPSTATE
WHEN THEY’RE BANGING YOU
FOUR AT A TIME
HOW TOUGH YOU WERE
IN THE STATION HOUSE.
Andy: YOU’RE NOT
IN THE CIRCUS, HUH, PAL?
WELL, DON’T EVER FIND YOURSELF
BY MISTAKE IN A HERD
OF EARRING‐WEARING OSTRICHES,
BECAUSE THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW,
YOU ARE GOING TO BE RIGHT
WITH THE REST
OF THE FLOCK SPRINTING
AROUND THE CENTER RING,
DUCKING YOUR HEAD
WHILE THAT PSYCHO
WITH THE TOP HAT CRACKS HIS WHIP
A HALF INCH FROM YOUR NOSE.
SO STUPID, ARROGANT.
KNOWING HE DIDN’T
DO THIS ONE LAST NIGHT,
HE’S GOING TO PUT HIMSELF
IN JAIL FOR A CASE NO ONE’S
EVEN LOOKING AT NO MORE.
THIS IS MRS. WIGGINS.
YOU HAVE MY SON HERE.
HIS NAME CAME UP IN CONNECTION
WITH A CRIME LAST NIGHT.
MY SON CAME HOME
AT 5:30 IN THE AFTERNOON.
I WAS HOME FROM WORK.
I SAW HIM COME IN.
HE HAD BEEN DRINKING, SO HE
WENT TO HIS ROOM AND SLEPT.
I WOKE HIM UP
AT 7:00 FOR DINNER.
AFTER THAT, HE WATCHED TV
WHILE I READ IN THE KITCHEN.
HE FELL ASLEEP
ON THE COUCH AT 11:00,
AND I DIDN’T GO TO BED
UNTIL MIDNIGHT.
AND HE WAS STILL ON THAT COUCH
WHEN I LEFT THIS MORNING.
I GOT WOOD FLOORS,
AND I SLEEP LIGHT.
NOBODY COMES IN OR OUT
WITHOUT ME WAKING UP.
I WANT MY SON RELEASED.
YOUR SON MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED
IN A SHOOTING TWO YEARS AGO
WHERE THE SAME GUN WAS USED
THAT WAS USED LAST NIGHT.
I TOLD YOU WHERE MY SON
WAS LAST NIGHT!
YOU GOING TO TELL US WHERE HE
WAS TWO YEARS AGO WHEN THIS
OTHER SHOOTING HAPPENED?
THAT SHOOTING TWO YEARS AGO,
MRS. WIGGINS,
THANK GOD IT WASN’T FATAL.
THE VICTIM RECOVERED.
AS FAR AS HOW HARD WE GO
AT YOUR SON,
WE’VE GOT SOME WIGGLE ROOM.
THE ONLY REASON
WE’D LOOK AT THAT CASE HARD
IS IF WE DON’T GET COOPERATION
ON WHAT’S IN FRONT OF US,
BECAUSE THAT VICTIM
DIDN’T RECOVER.
MY SON HAS BEEN
IN TROUBLE BEFORE.
I’M NOT BLIND TO THAT.
I’M A SINGLE WORKING MOTHER,
AND I LOST HIM TO THE STREETS,
BUT HE’S BEEN TRYING
TO MAKE A CHANGE,
AND I BELIEVE
HE CAN MAKE IT.
CAN I TALK TO HIM?
WHY DON’T WE ALL GO TALK?
[ DOOR OPENS ]
AW, MAN,
WHAT’S UP WITH THIS?
IT’S CALLED SOMEBODY
GIVING A DAMN ABOUT YOU.
MOM, I DIDN’T DO IT.
I KNOW YOU DIDN’T.
THEY AIN’T GOT NOTHING.
JUST GO HOME, AND I’M
GOING TO BE THERE LATER.
QUIT ACTING LIKE YOU’RE
IN CHARGE, BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT.
NOW YOU’RE BUYING YOURSELF
TROUBLE IF YOU DON’T TELL THEM
WHO HAS YOUR GUN.
I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING
LAST NIGHT.
Andy: THAT SHOOTING
TWO YEARS AGO, JASON,
WHERE YOU WERE BEEFIN’
WITH THE GUY ‐‐
WHERE YOU LOST YOUR TEMPER
AND THREW A SHOT INTO HIM ‐‐
THAT CAN COME
OR GO DEPENDING
ON HOW YOU PLAY THIS.
JASON, BABY,
IF YOU LET YOURSELF
BE TAKEN AWAY FROM ME,
I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU.
YOU ASKING ME
TO TRUST THEM?
I’M ASKIN’ YOU TO UNDERSTAND
THAT RIGHT NOW,
YOU DON’T HAVE A CHOICE.
SAY I RENT OUT
MY GUN LAST NIGHT.
THE GUY USE IT,
HE’S SUPPOSED TO DUMP THE GUN
AND PAY MY BUY‐OUT FEE.
SAY THEY BRING IT BACK TO ME,
EVEN THOUGH I FIND OUT
HE DID USE IT.
IF I GIVE YOU HIS NAME,
WHAT’S TO SAY
HE AIN’T GOING TO LIE,
AND I’M HUNG OUT?
WILL YOU DO THAT,
HANG MY BOY OUT
IF YOU CAN’T CONVICT
THE OTHER ONE?
NO, WE WON’T DO THAT.
GO AHEAD, SON.
IT’S TREY LANGDON.
TREY LIVES ON LUDLOW
OFF DELANCEY
OVER THE SHOE REPAIR.
WHERE’S THE GUN
HE RETURNED TO YOU?
IT’S UNDER MY MATTRESS.
WILL YOU GO WITH US
AND GET IT?
I TRUSTED YOU.
I KNOW.
WE’RE WALKING OUT
OF HERE, BABY,
AS SOON AS I GET BACK HERE.
HI.
MM‐HMM.
I NEED SOME HELP.
A LOT.
I DON’T REMEMBER
WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.
IS THAT RIGHT?
YOU WERE AN ASSHOLE.
DID YOU COME
TO THE MOTEL WITH ME?
IS THIS
ANOTHER SICK GAME?
BLACK OUT.
BECAUSE I GOT WHAT I NEEDED
TO KNOW FROM YOU.
HE’S IN THE WIND.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
YOUR PARTNER’S EX‐HUSBAND
IS IN THE WIND.
COME HERE, DENBY.
I HAD WATCH ON HIM
LAST NIGHT AT THE MOTEL.
WOKE UP, LIKE,
5:00 IN THE MORNING,
AND HE WAS GONE.
HIM LOOSE CAN SCREW
YOUR PARTNER UP BAD.
YEAH. OTHERWISE, I’D SURE LIKE
TO SPEND SOME TIME THINKING
ABOUT YOU
BLOWING YOUR CAREER.
NO WAY HE DOESN’T
REACH OUT TO HER.
THAT’S YOU LOCKING IN
ON HOW A PRICK WILL BEHAVE,
RIGHT, DENBY?
LIKE YOU SAY,
I DON’T
GET THIS GUY BACK,
I’M LOOKING
AT LOSING MY JOB.
I DON’T HAVE TO ASK
HOW YOU AND ME HIT IT OFF,
BUT IT’S IN YOUR GIRLFRIEND’S
INTEREST LETTING ME KNOW
WHEN HE REACHES OUT.
IF I DECIDE THAT’S TRUE,
I KNOW HOW TO GET IN TOUCH.
FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH,
I APOLOGIZE.
NOTHING IS HOW MUCH
THAT’S WORTH.
I’M NOT MEETING YOU,
BECAUSE YOU’RE TALKING
TO THE WRONG PERSON.
I’M TELLING YOU,
YOU GOT ME CONFUSED
WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.
YOU’RE NOT GOING
TO BELIEVE THIS.
I KNOW DON’S
IN THE WIND.
WHERE IS HE?
I TOLD HIM I DIDN’T
WANT TO KNOW.
GOOD FOR YOU, JILL.
I CAN’T GET INVOLVED
WITH HIM.
THE ONLY SMART THING
HE CAN DO IS TURN HIMSELF IN.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
Jill: THAT’S RIGHT.
I CAN’T GIVE HIM MONEY
TO GET AWAY.
THAT’S RIGHT.
I’M SURE
THEY’RE WATCHING MY HOUSE.
John: WHO IS THIS, PLEASE?
YOU CAN’T GET INVOLVED
WITH HIM, JILL.
I GUESS THAT TASK FORCE GUY
MUST HAVE SHOWN UP
AT THE MOTEL DRUNK.
HE CAN’T REMEMBER
WHAT HAPPENED.
THINKS HE MUST HAVE
LEFT THE DOOR UNGUARDED.
DID HE PUT
AN ALARM OUT?
Diane: NOT YET.
HE’S HOPING DON
WILL USE HIS HEAD
THE WAY YOU SAID.
NOT TO MENTION
THAT IT WILL SAVE HIS ASS.
THAT WOULD BE THE BONUS
FOR DENBY.
THAT SAME PERSON
WHO CALLED BEFORE
AND DIDN’T IDENTIFY HIMSELF
IS CALLING AGAIN.
DO YOU WANT TO FIND OUT
WHERE DON IS, JILL,
LET DENBY KNOW
SO THEY CAN PICK HIM UP?
I DON’T WANT THE CALL, JOHN.
TELL HIM I’M NOT AROUND,
WHOEVER IT IS THAT’S CALLING.
I CAN’T GIVE HIM UP,
THOUGH, EITHER, DIANE.
YOU’D JUST GET
ON HIS BAD SIDE
IN TERMS OF WHAT
HE MIGHT TELL THE D. A.
I CAN’T GIVE HIM UP.
OKAY,
OKAY.
SIT DOWN.
MAN, THIS IS MESSED UP.
MURDER CLASSIFYING
AS "MESSED UP" IN TREY’S BOOK.
MURDER? Y’ALL LOOKING
AT ME FOR MURDER?
A YOUTH NAMED MICHAEL BAYLOR,
TREY, IS NO LONGER AMONGST US.
OUR HOPE IS
THAT YOU KILLED HIM,
’CAUSE YOU’RE WHO WE’RE
TALKIN’ TO, AND THAT WOULD
MAKE OUR LIVES SIMPLER,
BUT IF YOU GOT
DIFFERING INFORMATION,
NOW’S YOUR TIME
TO LEAP IN.
WHO GAVE ME UP? JASON?
ASKING QUESTIONS IS NOT
WHERE YOUR BEST INTERESTS LIE.
WELL, JASON SHOULD HAVE
KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT,
BECAUSE THIS BOOMERANGS
BACK ONTO ROBBIE.
START PUTTIN’ LAST NAMES
TO THESE PEOPLE.
ROBBIE WIGGINS.
THAT’S RIGHT ‐‐
JASON’S BROTHER ROBBIE.
WHY WOULD YOU HAVE
TO RENT A GUN FROM ONE BROTHER
TO GIVE TO ANOTHER?
ROBBIE KNEW JASON WOULDN’T
GIVE HIM NO GUN TO USE,
SO ROBBIE HAD ME RENT THE GUN
OFF OF JASON FOR HIM.
AND HERE GOES JASON,
GIVIN’ ME UP,
PUTTING HIS OWN BROTHER
IN THE HOT SEAT,
BECAUSE I SURE AS HELL
AIN’T TAKING NO HIT FOR MURDER
JUST FOR BEING NO GO‐BETWEEN.
DID ROBBIE TELL YOU
WHAT HE WANTED THE GUN FOR?
SOME ROMANTIC NONSENSE.
THAT MICHAEL ‐‐
I DON’T KNOW THE DUDE,
BUT ROBBIE WAS SAYING SOME
MICHAEL WAS HASSLING LATASHA.
THAT’S WHO
ROBBIE’S SEEING NOW.
HEY, I DON’T KNOW
THE DETAILS.
ALLS I DID WAS RENT
THE GUN ROBBIE WANTED
FROM HIS BROTHER
HE KNEW WOULDN’T
GIVE IT TO HIM.
WHERE ARE WE GOING
TO FIND ROBBIE?
HER PLACE, PROBABLY.
WRITE DOWN
WHERE LATASHA LIVES.
JOSH, KEEP AN EYE
ON THIS GUY FOR A WHILE?
YOU GOT IT.
MAKE A PROMISE, NOW WE’RE
GOING TO LOCK HER OTHER SON UP.
LOOK, SHE’S GOTTA
KNOW THIS COMES
OUT OF LEFT FIELD.
SO YOU FIGURE THE UNFORTUNATE
COINCIDENCE ASPECT,
THAT’LL MOVE HER
TO LET US OFF THE HOOK?
I FIGURE HER LETTING US
OFF THE HOOK
CAN’T DECIDE
HOW WE WORK THE CASE.
OH, NOW YOU’RE CARRYING
STONE TABLETS OFF THE MOUNTAIN,
TELLING ME
HOW TO DO MY JOB?
COME ON, ANDY.
I AM TELLING YOU,
THESE ARE PREJUDICED PEOPLE,
AND I DON’T WANT
NO UNFORTUNATE COINCIDENCES
CONFIRMING THEIR PREJUDICES
AGAINST ME.
MAYBE ROBBIE
DIDN’T PULL THE TRIGGER,
DIDN’T HAVE MURDER
ON HIS MIND.
IF HE KNOWS
WHAT’S GOOD FOR HIM,
IT BETTER BE
WHAT WENT ON.
WHAT IS GOING ON?
WE’RE FOLLOWING
THIS THING OUT, MISS WIGGINS.
FOLLOWING IT HOW?
I TOOK YOU TO JASON’S GUN.
YOU’VE GOT TREY
THAT MY SON JASON
TOLD YOU ABOUT.
NOW, YOU PROMISED ME.
THERE’S A NEW COMPLICATION,
MRS. WIGGINS.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT
INVOLVE YOUR OTHER SON.
WHAT?
YOUR OTHER SON, ROBBIE.
ROBBIE? NO.
ROBBIE’S OUTSIDE
OF THAT LIFE.
WE GOT TO LOOK
INTO POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS.
NO.
NO, NO, NO.
LET US LOOK INTO THEM,
AND WE’LL KEEP YOU POSTED.
DOES THIS
INVOLVE HIS GIRLFRIEND?
WE CAN’T TELL SPECIFICS.
YOU AND JASON
NEED TO STAY HERE TILL
WE FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.
THAT LATASHA’S NO GOOD.
IT MAY BE HER BEHIND THIS,
OR HER OLD BOYFRIEND ‐‐
HOOD BY THE NAME
OF MICHAEL BAYLOR.
HE’S THE HOMICIDE VICTIM,
THAT MICHAEL BAYLOR
YOU MENTION.
WE’RE NOT LOOKING
TO HURT YOUR FAMILY.
YOU GOT OUR WORD.
YOUR WORD?
WELL, IN THAT CASE,
I HAVE NOTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT, DO I?
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
15th SQUAD.
UH, I’M SORRY.
SHE’S STILL NOT AVAILABLE.
NO, WAIT, JOHN, WAIT.
YES, HELLO.
ALL RIGHT,
LISTEN TO ME. Listen!
555‐0146.
IN 45 MINUTES, I WANT YOU
TO CALL THAT NUMBER.
NO, 0146.
SAY THE NUMBER AGAIN.
CALL THERE IN 45 MINUTES.
THAT NUMBER
SOUNDS FAMILIAR.
PLEASE, DIANE.
WHAT, YOU WANT ME TO GO
TO MY PLACE AND TALK TO DON?
I NEED TO SEE HIM.
IF DENBY’S ANY KIND
OF COP,
HE’S GOT MY PLACE UP.
JILL...
PLEASE.
TELL ME WHAT YOUR PLAN IS.
RIGHT NOW HE’S
A MATERIAL WITNESS.
IF HE RUNS, THEY’LL
REINSTATE THE CHARGES,
AND THEN HE’LL BE
A FUGITIVE.
ARE YOU GOING TO
TALK HIM THROUGH
TO UNDERSTANDING THAT?
THAT’S RIGHT.
THAT MAKES SENSE.
HE’S GOT A DEAL IN PLACE
IF HE COOPERATES,
AND HE MAY NOT
EVEN HAVE TO TESTIFY.
OKAY. I UNDERSTAND.
JILL, DON’T HURT YOURSELF.
I WON’T.
THANKS, DIANE.
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
BOSS?
HEY, JILL.
I NEED A FEW HOURS
LOST TIME.
EVERYTHING OKAY?
YEAH, EVERYTHING’S
OKAY AT HOME.
SO, IS ‐‐
IS THAT OKAY ‐‐
IF I TAKE THE TIME?
YEAH.
HEY, GREG.
IS THIS WHERE YOU’VE BEEN?
WHAT DID I MISS?
NOTHING.
I’VE JUST BEEN LOOKING
ALL OVER FOR YOU, BUDDY.
YOU COMPOSING YOUR SPEECH
FOR THE RACKET TONIGHT?
YEAH, I GUESS.
YEAH, I’M BRINGING
MY, UH, "A" GAME
TO INTRODUCING YOU,
I’LL TELL YOU THAT RIGHT NOW.
ATTABOY.
[ CHUCKLES ]
ONE THING, EACH DAY
THAT GOES BY,
A LITTLE MORE OF ME
IS LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
YOUR NEW POSITION?
ABSOLUTELY, JAMES.
AS DIFFICULT AS IT’S
GOING TO BE MISSING EVERYONE.
NO, I‐I UNDERSTAND.
NOT WORKING WITH YOU,
ESPECIALLY.
ALL RIGHT,
DON’T GET ME STARTED, JAMES.
DON’T GET ME STARTED.
DOWN HERE.
YOU’RE IN SOME JACKPOT,
ROBBIE.
WE KNOW WHAT YOU DONE.
YOU UNDERSTAND, ROBBIE?
WE KNOW YOU SHOT
MIKE BAYLOR.
NOW, YOU’VE HAD FAMILY
MEMBERS FORTHCOMING WITH US
WITHOUT KNOWING
YOU WERE INVOLVED,
AND WE’RE NOT ON THIS JOB
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT,
WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT
OR NOT.
YOUR JOB’S PUTTING
WHAT HAPPENED
IN THE RIGHT LIGHT,
ROBBIE,
WHERE WE MIGHT
FIND SOME EXTENUATION.
HE STOLE THE 6‐MONTHS
ANNIVERSARY RING I GAVE HER
OFF MY GIRLFRIEND
LATASHA’S FINGER.
THAT’S WHY YOU WENT
TO MIKE BAYLOR’S
APARTMENT LAST NIGHT?
I WENT TO GET IT BACK.
AND YOU
WENT THERE PACKING.
THAT’S RIGHT.
WAS THAT PRIMARILY
SELF‐DEFENSIVE?
WERE YOU NECESSARILY
INTENDING TO USE THAT PIECE?
OR WAS THAT PRIMARILY
SELF‐DEFENSIVE?
I DIDN’T GO THERE
INTENDING TO USE IT.
I WENT TO GET
THE RING BACK.
ALL RIGHT,
SO WHAT HAPPENED?
I KNOCK ON THE DOOR,
HE LETS ME IN.
I TELL HIM I WANT
THAT RING BACK
HE TOOK OFF LATASHA’S
FINGER.
SO, I’D BE RIGHT
SAYING AT THIS POINT
THAT YOU DIDN’T
HAVE YOUR PIECE OUT?
I HAD IT IN MY BELT.
SO WHAT DOES MICHAEL DO?
PULLS HIS PIECE ON ME ‐‐
SAYS HE’S GOING TO
RUB THE RING ON HIS DICK,
TELLS ME WHAT HE
USED TO DO TO LATASHA
WHEN HE WAS TAKING HER OUT.
THAT’S WHEN I WENT CRAZY.
OKAY, BUT NOW WHEN YOU
SAY YOU WENT CRAZY,
HE’S ALREADY
GOT HIS GUN OUT,
POINTING IT AT YOU,
CORRECT, ROBBIE?
HE COULD HAVE SHOT YOU
AT ANY SECOND
IS WHAT I GUESS
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN FEELING.
I WENT AFTER HIM.
MEANING WHAT?
I WENT AFTER HIM
TO KICK HIS ASS.
KICK HIS ASS WHILE HE’S
POINTING A GUN AT YOU?
I TOLD YOU I WENT CRAZY.
AND SAYING YOU
DIDN’T PULL YOUR PIECE?
I FORGOT I HAD IT
TILL HE SHOT AT ME.
THEN I SHOT AT HIM BACK.
WE DIDN’T FIND
NO GUN OF MICHAEL’S
IN THAT APARTMENT, ROBBIE.
I TOOK MICHAEL’S GUN.
I WAS GOING TO GIVE IT
TO WHO I RENTED
MY PIECE FROM,
’CAUSE IF I USED MY PIECE,
I WAS SUPPOSED
TO THROW IT AWAY
AND PAY A BUY‐OUT,
BUT I DIDN’T
HAVE NO MONEY.
COME TO FIND OUT,
I THOUGHT I THREW MY GUN
IN THE DUMPSTER
BEHIND THAT BUILDING,
IT WAS MICHAEL’S
I THREW AWAY,
SO I HAD TO GIVE
MY PIECE BACK.
YOU COULD NOT
MAKE THIS STUFF UP.
DID I GET JASON
IN TROUBLE?
JUST SIT HERE, ROBBIE,
WHILE WE CHECK OUT
THAT DUMPSTER.
UH, ONE P. P. ‐‐ HE’LL
BE BACK IN 20 MINUTES.
WHAT DID MY SON SAY?
WE GOT TO CONFIRM THAT,
AND THEN MAYBE THINGS
ARE GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
WHAT DID ROBBIE SAY?!
MRS. WIGGINS...
WAS HE INVOLVED?
SHH!
DON’T YOU SHUSH ME.
WE’RE GOING TO TALK
IN HALF AN HOUR.
WHAT IS GOING
TO HAPPEN NOW?
SHH!
WE’RE GOING BACK
TO THE CRIME SCENE.
YOU SOUND LIKE
DR. EVIL ‐‐ SHH.
YEAH, LIKE THAT
MOTORCYCLE LUNATIC
WOULD HAVE ANY BETTER CHANCE
MAKING THAT WOMAN HEAR REASON.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
WHOSE PLACE IS THIS?
WHO’S BOBBY SIMONE?
NEVER MIND.
WHO’S THIS GUY TO YOU?
YOU THINK MAYBE WE GOT
OTHER THINGS TO TALK ABOUT?
YEAH. I GUESS YOU
GOT TO LIVE YOUR LIFE.
YOU NEED TO GO BACK
TO THAT MOTEL.
[ SCOFFS ]
DO I NEED TO?
WHY DOES THE GUY WHO
GUARDS YOU GETTING DRUNK
MEAN YOU GOT TO BLOW A DEAL
KEEPING YOU OUT OF JAIL?
I’M OUT NOW.
AND YOU AREN’T HERE
TO MAKE ME
GO BACK TO THAT MOTEL.
WHY AM I HERE, DON?
TO STAKE YOU HITTING THE ROAD,
LIVIN’ A SKELL’S LIFE
TILL THEY COLLAR YOU
FOR THIS OR SOMETHIN’ ELSE?
LIKE THAT’S
THE ONLY CHOICE.
IT’S THE ONE YOU MADE
WITH BOYS WHO WANTED
TO LOOK UP TO YOU AND ME
HOPING YOU’D MAKE GOOD.
YEAH, WELL MAYBE
I’D DO BETTER
WITHOUT THE HOLY TRINITY
KEEPING SCORE.
YOU THINK I WANT TO BE
BITTER LIKE THIS, JILL?
I WOULDN’T RATHER STAY
WHERE I COULD SEE THE BOYS?
BUT I GO BACK,
AND I’M LOOKING AT MONTHS
IN THAT RATTRAP
TILL I TESTIFY,
AND THEN GOD KNOWS
WHAT RELOCATION SOMEPLACE
AWAY FROM HERE ANYWAY?
ISN’T A CLEAN BREAK
BETTER NOW?
SOME CLEAN BREAK.
HEY, I’M THINKING ABOUT
MAKING A FEW OTHER STOPS,
LET SOME PEOPLE PAY
FOR HOW I’VE BEEN SET UP.
OH, DON...
DID YOU BRING MONEY FOR ME?
I DIDN’T HAVE TIME TO WRAP
THAT QUESTION UP PRETTY
AND FIND A NICE CARD.
I’VE GOT $780.
OKAY.
GREAT.
HEY, LOOK, MAYBE
WHEN I LAND SOMEPLACE ‐‐
GET IN TOUCH WITH ME AGAIN,
AND I’LL TELL THEM
WHERE TO PICK YOU UP.
ALL RIGHT.
I UNDERSTAND.
MAYBE WE FOUND
EACH OTHER TOO YOUNG.
MAYBE I DID
PUT PRESSURE ON YOU
SO YOU COULDN’T BECOME
WHAT YOU NEEDED TO.
MAKE A LIFE, DON.
HEY, TELL THE BOYS
I LOVE THEM.
[ JILL SIGHS ]
GO AWAY.
HI.
YOU WANT TO GET
A CUP OF COFFEE?
SURE.
THANKS, DIANE.
WHAT HAPPENED?
HE MAY NOT
TURN HIMSELF IN.
HE MAY LEAVE TOWN.
IN OTHER WORDS,
HE’S LEAVING TOWN.
I GUESS, MAYBE.
DID YOU GIVE HIM MONEY?
IF HE’S CAUGHT, JILL,
HE CAN GIVE YOU UP
FOR ACCESSORY
TO FELONY ESCAPE.
LOOK, IF ANYTHING HAPPENS,
OBVIOUSLY YOU DIDN’T KNOW
I WAS TAKING YOUR KEYS.
HE NEVER WOULD HAVE
GOTTEN HIS DEAL.
HE NEVER WOULD HAVE
KEPT HIS END
OF THE BARGAIN TO GET IT.
HE WANTED TO RUN.
THAT’S WHAT HE DOES.
OKAY.
I BELIEVE HE’S GOING TO BE
OUT OF MY LIFE NOW.
IN A WAY, UH,
I FEEL LIKE I RANSOMED
THE REST OF MY LIFE
AND THE BOYS’.
I REALLY BELIEVE THAT.
I HOPE THAT’S HOW IT WORKS.
USING THE LAVATORY.
WELCOME BACK.
Danny: LOOKS LIKE WE
CLEARED THIS, BOSS.
THE GUY THAT OWNED THE GUN
IN THE SHOOTING TWO YEARS AGO ‐‐
THAT YOU WERE WITH US
WHEN THAT BALLISTICS
INFORMATION CAME IN ‐‐
HE KEPT THAT PIECE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?
AND THIS GUY
THAT HAD THE PIECE,
HIS YOUNGER BROTHER
REACHED OUT TO GET IT,
BECAUSE THE YOUNGER BROTHER
GOT DISSED
BY HIS GIRLFRIEND’S
FORMER SQUEEZE.
THE FORMER SQUEEZE
BEING OUR D. O. A.?
WHO HAD A PIECE
OF HIS OWN, THIS D. O. A.,
WHICH DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ
WILL NOW SHOW YOU.
HE’S NOT ADDRESSING
THE PROBLEM.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
THE PROBLEM’S COMING OUT
OF THE CAN.
THE D. O. A. THREW SHOTS
AT THIS WOMAN’S YOUNGER SON
WHICH CRIME SCENE MISSED
AND MY SAME EAGLE‐EYED
PARTNER JUST COME UP WITH
OUT OF THE HALLWAY FLOORBOARD.
HERE’S THE POINT.
HERE IS THE CRUCIAL POINT.
THIS WOMAN STARING DAGGERS
GOT HER OLDER SON
THAT OWNED THE PIECE
TO COOPERATE WITH US
PRIOR TO KNOWING
THAT IT WAS HER YOUNGER SON
THAT ACTUALLY USED THE PIECE.
WHICH THE OLDER BROTHER
DIDN’T KNOW HE WAS RENTING IT
TO THE YOUNGER BROTHER.
THE YOUNGER BROTHER
KNEW THE OLDER BROTHER
WOULDN’T RENT TO HIM,
SO HE RENTED
THROUGH AN INTERMEDIARY.
SO HERE,
THIS WOMAN STARING DAGGERS
GETS THE OLDER SON
INADVERTENTLY GIVING UP
HER YOUNGER SON ‐‐
THAT SHOULD MAKE
A PRETTY GOOD ARGUMENT
FOR SELF‐DEFENSE FOR,
TO BEGIN WITH,
THE YOUNGER SON.
SO, IT SHOULDN’T GO BAD
FOR NEITHER SON ON THE MERITS,
PLUS THEY BOTH
WERE ALSO COOPERATIVE,
AND WE’RE GOING TO DO
EVERYTHING WE CAN
HOW WE WRITE THINGS UP.
AND THIS IS WHAT YOU
GOT TO EXPLAIN TO HER.
THE WOMAN STARING DAGGERS?
YEAH, ’CAUSE SHE’S GOING
TO TAKE IT A LOT BETTER
COMING FROM YOU.
WE KIND OF STEERED HER INTO
A JACKPOT WITHOUT MEANING TO.
PLUS SHE’S TAKEN
AN INSTINCTIVE DISLIKE ‐‐
POSSIBLE RACIAL COMPONENT.
Andy: LORRAINE WIGGINS.
I’M ARTHUR FANCY.
MY DETECTIVES ASKED ME
TO TALK WITH YOU.
Lorraine: MAKE ME
WAIT ALL THIS TIME
AND DON’T HAVE NERVE
TO TALK TO ME THEIRSELVES?
SHALL WE TALK
IN MY OFFICE?
NO. TELL ME OUT HERE.
I KNOW YOU’RE
AFRAID FOR YOUR BOYS.
HE TOLD ME I COULD
TRUST HIM ‐‐
THAT OLD BALD ONE,
AND LOOK WHAT IT GOT ME.
THAT OLD BALD DETECTIVE
AND HIS PARTNER,
THEY TOLD ME
THIS HOMICIDE CLEARS
BECAUSE YOU
AND YOUR SONS COOPERATED.
AND WHAT DOES THAT
COUNT FOR?
D.A.s DON’T FIGURE
TO MAKE THEIR CAREERS
PROSECUTING CASES DETECTIVES
AREN’T REALLY BEHIND.
THEY KNOW THINGS CAN GET
EMBARRASSING AT TRIAL.
THEY’LL HAVE TO BE ARRAIGNED,
MRS. WIGGINS,
BUT I’D BE SURPRISED
IF EITHER OF YOUR SONS
GETS JAIL TIME.
AND IF THEY
DO END UP IN JAIL,
WHERE DO I CASH
YOU BEING SURPRISED?
WE HONOR THE FAVORS
PEOPLE DO US.
I WON’T BE ABLE TO STAND
SAYING GOODBYE TO THEM.
I’LL TELL YOUR BOYS
YOU SAID GOODBYE,
AND I’LL HAVE A LOT MORE
INFORMATION FOR YOU TOMORROW.
TELL THAT OLD BALD ONE
I HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE.
HE KNOWS.
Andy: HOW’D IT GO?
IT WENT OKAY.
WAS SHE, UH, COMBATIVE?
NO.
WHAT WAS SHE?
SHE ACCEPTS WE’RE
GOING TO TRY OUR BEST
TO KEEP HER SONS
OUT OF JAIL.
YEAH. I KNEW YOU’D
HAVE A BETTER RAPPORT.
SHE MAKE ANY
DEROGATORY REFERENCES?
SHE SAID YOU
WERE OLD AND BALD.

OFF OF JASON FOR HIM.

OF COP,
HE’S GOT MY PLACE UP.
JILL...
PLEASE.
TELL ME WHAT YOUR PLAN IS.
RIGHT NOW HE’S
A MATERIAL WITNESS.
IF HE RUNS, THEY’LL
REINSTATE THE CHARGES,
AND THEN HE’LL BE
A FUGITIVE.
ARE YOU GOING TO
TALK HIM THROUGH
TO UNDERSTANDING THAT?
THAT’S RIGHT.
THAT MAKES SENSE.
HE’S GOT A DEAL IN PLACE
IF HE COOPERATES,
AND HE MAY NOT
EVEN HAVE TO TESTIFY.
OKAY. I UNDERSTAND.
JILL, DON’T HURT YOURSELF.
I WON’T.
THANKS, DIANE.
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
BOSS?
HEY, JILL.
I NEED A FEW HOURS
LOST TIME.
EVERYTHING OKAY?
YEAH, EVERYTHING’S
OKAY AT HOME.
SO, IS ‐‐
IS THAT OKAY ‐‐
IF I TAKE THE TIME?
YEAH.
HEY, GREG.
IS THIS WHERE YOU’VE BEEN?
WHAT DID I MISS?
NOTHING.
I’VE JUST BEEN LOOKING
ALL OVER FOR YOU, BUDDY.
YOU COMPOSING YOUR SPEECH
FOR THE RACKET TONIGHT?
YEAH, I GUESS.
YEAH, I’M BRINGING
MY, UH, "A" GAME
TO INTRODUCING YOU,
I’LL TELL YOU THAT RIGHT NOW.
ATTABOY.
[ CHUCKLES ]
ONE THING, EACH DAY
THAT GOES BY,
A LITTLE MORE OF ME
IS LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
YOUR NEW POSITION?
ABSOLUTELY, JAMES.
AS DIFFICULT AS IT’S
GOING TO BE MISSING EVERYONE.
NO, I‐I UNDERSTAND.
NOT WORKING WITH YOU,
ESPECIALLY.
ALL RIGHT,
DON’T GET ME STARTED, JAMES.
DON’T GET ME STARTED.
DOWN HERE.
YOU’RE IN SOME JACKPOT,
ROBBIE.
WE KNOW WHAT YOU DONE.
YOU UNDERSTAND, ROBBIE?
WE KNOW YOU SHOT
MIKE BAYLOR.
NOW, YOU’VE HAD FAMILY
MEMBERS FORTHCOMING WITH US
WITHOUT KNOWING
YOU WERE INVOLVED,
AND WE’RE NOT ON THIS JOB
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT,
WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT
OR NOT.
YOUR JOB’S PUTTING
WHAT HAPPENED
IN THE RIGHT LIGHT,
ROBBIE,
WHERE WE MIGHT
FIND SOME EXTENUATION.
HE STOLE THE 6‐MONTHS
ANNIVERSARY RING I GAVE HER
OFF MY GIRLFRIEND
LATASHA’S FINGER.
THAT’S WHY YOU WENT
TO MIKE BAYLOR’S
APARTMENT LAST NIGHT?
I WENT TO GET IT BACK.
AND YOU
WENT THERE PACKING.
THAT’S RIGHT.
WAS THAT PRIMARILY
SELF‐DEFENSIVE?
WERE YOU NECESSARILY
INTENDING TO USE THAT PIECE?
OR WAS THAT PRIMARILY
SELF‐DEFENSIVE?
I DIDN’T GO THERE
INTENDING TO USE IT.
I WENT TO GET
THE RING BACK.
ALL RIGHT,
SO WHAT HAPPENED?
I KNOCK ON THE DOOR,
HE LETS ME IN.
I TELL HIM I WANT
THAT RING BACK
HE TOOK OFF LATASHA’S
FINGER.
SO, I’D BE RIGHT
SAYING AT THIS POINT
THAT YOU DIDN’T
HAVE YOUR PIECE OUT?
I HAD IT IN MY BELT.
SO WHAT DOES MICHAEL DO?
PULLS HIS PIECE ON ME ‐‐
SAYS HE’S GOING TO
RUB THE RING ON HIS DICK,
TELLS ME WHAT HE
USED TO DO TO LATASHA
WHEN HE WAS TAKING HER OUT.
THAT’S WHEN I WENT CRAZY.
OKAY, BUT NOW WHEN YOU
SAY YOU WENT CRAZY,
HE’S ALREADY
GOT HIS GUN OUT,
POINTING IT AT YOU,
CORRECT, ROBBIE?
HE COULD HAVE SHOT YOU
AT ANY SECOND
IS WHAT I GUESS
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN FEELING.
I WENT AFTER HIM.
MEANING WHAT?
I WENT AFTER HIM
TO KICK HIS ASS.
KICK HIS ASS WHILE HE’S
POINTING A GUN AT YOU?
I TOLD YOU I WENT CRAZY.
AND SAYING YOU
DIDN’T PULL YOUR PIECE?
I FORGOT I HAD IT
TILL HE SHOT AT ME.
THEN I SHOT AT HIM BACK.
WE DIDN’T FIND
NO GUN OF MICHAEL’S
IN THAT APARTMENT, ROBBIE.
I TOOK MICHAEL’S GUN.
I WAS GOING TO GIVE IT
TO WHO I RENTED
MY PIECE FROM,
’CAUSE IF I USED MY PIECE,
I WAS SUPPOSED
TO THROW IT AWAY
AND PAY A BUY‐OUT,
BUT I DIDN’T
HAVE NO MONEY.
COME TO FIND OUT,
I THOUGHT I THREW MY GUN
IN THE DUMPSTER
BEHIND THAT BUILDING,
IT WAS MICHAEL’S
I THREW AWAY,
SO I HAD TO GIVE
MY PIECE BACK.
YOU COULD NOT
MAKE THIS STUFF UP.
DID I GET JASON
IN TROUBLE?
JUST SIT HERE, ROBBIE,
WHILE WE CHECK OUT
THAT DUMPSTER.
UH, ONE P. P. ‐‐ HE’LL
BE BACK IN 20 MINUTES.
WHAT DID MY SON SAY?
WE GOT TO CONFIRM THAT,
AND THEN MAYBE THINGS
ARE GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
WHAT DID ROBBIE SAY?!
MRS. WIGGINS...
WAS HE INVOLVED?
SHH!
DON’T YOU SHUSH ME.
WE’RE GOING TO TALK
IN HALF AN HOUR.
WHAT IS GOING
TO HAPPEN NOW?
SHH!
WE’RE GOING BACK
TO THE CRIME SCENE.
YOU SOUND LIKE
DR. EVIL ‐‐ SHH.
YEAH, LIKE THAT
MOTORCYCLE LUNATIC
WOULD HAVE ANY BETTER CHANCE
MAKING THAT WOMAN HEAR REASON.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
WHOSE PLACE IS THIS?
WHO’S BOBBY SIMONE?
NEVER MIND.
WHO’S THIS GUY TO YOU?
YOU THINK MAYBE WE GOT
OTHER THINGS TO TALK ABOUT?
YEAH. I GUESS YOU
GOT TO LIVE YOUR LIFE.
YOU NEED TO GO BACK
TO THAT MOTEL.
[ SCOFFS ]
DO I NEED TO?
WHY DOES THE GUY WHO
GUARDS YOU GETTING DRUNK
MEAN YOU GOT TO BLOW A DEAL
KEEPING YOU OUT OF JAIL?
I’M OUT NOW.
AND YOU AREN’T HERE
TO MAKE ME
GO BACK TO THAT MOTEL.
WHY AM I HERE, DON?
TO STAKE YOU HITTING THE ROAD,
LIVIN’ A SKELL’S LIFE
TILL THEY COLLAR YOU
FOR THIS OR SOMETHIN’ ELSE?
LIKE THAT’S
THE ONLY CHOICE.
IT’S THE ONE YOU MADE
WITH BOYS WHO WANTED
TO LOOK UP TO YOU AND ME
HOPING YOU’D MAKE GOOD.
YEAH, WELL MAYBE
I’D DO BETTER
WITHOUT THE HOLY TRINITY
KEEPING SCORE.
YOU THINK I WANT TO BE
BITTER LIKE THIS, JILL?
I WOULDN’T RATHER STAY
WHERE I COULD SEE THE BOYS?
BUT I GO BACK,
AND I’M LOOKING AT MONTHS
IN THAT RATTRAP
TILL I TESTIFY,
AND THEN GOD KNOWS
WHAT RELOCATION SOMEPLACE
AWAY FROM HERE ANYWAY?
ISN’T A CLEAN BREAK
BETTER NOW?
SOME CLEAN BREAK.
HEY, I’M THINKING ABOUT
MAKING A FEW OTHER STOPS,
LET SOME PEOPLE PAY
FOR HOW I’VE BEEN SET UP.
OH, DON...
DID YOU BRING MONEY FOR ME?
I DIDN’T HAVE TIME TO WRAP
THAT QUESTION UP PRETTY
AND FIND A NICE CARD.
I’VE GOT $780.
OKAY.
GREAT.
HEY, LOOK, MAYBE
WHEN I LAND SOMEPLACE ‐‐
GET IN TOUCH WITH ME AGAIN,
AND I’LL TELL THEM
WHERE TO PICK YOU UP.
ALL RIGHT.
I UNDERSTAND.
MAYBE WE FOUND
EACH OTHER TOO YOUNG.
MAYBE I DID
PUT PRESSURE ON YOU
SO YOU COULDN’T BECOME
WHAT YOU NEEDED TO.
MAKE A LIFE, DON.
HEY, TELL THE BOYS
I LOVE THEM.
[ JILL SIGHS ]
GO AWAY.
HI.
YOU WANT TO GET
A CUP OF COFFEE?
SURE.
THANKS, DIANE.
WHAT HAPPENED?
HE MAY NOT
TURN HIMSELF IN.
HE MAY LEAVE TOWN.
IN OTHER WORDS,
HE’S LEAVING TOWN.
I GUESS, MAYBE.
DID YOU GIVE HIM MONEY?
IF HE’S CAUGHT, JILL,
HE CAN GIVE YOU UP
FOR ACCESSORY
TO FELONY ESCAPE.
LOOK, IF ANYTHING HAPPENS,
OBVIOUSLY YOU DIDN’T KNOW
I WAS TAKING YOUR KEYS.
HE NEVER WOULD HAVE
GOTTEN HIS DEAL.
HE NEVER WOULD HAVE
KEPT HIS END
OF THE BARGAIN TO GET IT.
HE WANTED TO RUN.
THAT’S WHAT HE DOES.
OKAY.
I BELIEVE HE’S GOING TO BE
OUT OF MY LIFE NOW.
IN A WAY, UH,
I FEEL LIKE I RANSOMED
THE REST OF MY LIFE
AND THE BOYS’.
I REALLY BELIEVE THAT.
I HOPE THAT’S HOW IT WORKS.
USING THE LAVATORY.
WELCOME BACK.
Danny: LOOKS LIKE WE
CLEARED THIS, BOSS.
THE GUY THAT OWNED THE GUN
IN THE SHOOTING TWO YEARS AGO ‐‐
THAT YOU WERE WITH US
WHEN THAT BALLISTICS
INFORMATION CAME IN ‐‐
HE KEPT THAT PIECE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?
AND THIS GUY
THAT HAD THE PIECE,
HIS YOUNGER BROTHER
REACHED OUT TO GET IT,
BECAUSE THE YOUNGER BROTHER
GOT DISSED
BY HIS GIRLFRIEND’S
FORMER SQUEEZE.
THE FORMER SQUEEZE
BEING OUR D. O. A.?
WHO HAD A PIECE
OF HIS OWN, THIS D. O. A.,
WHICH DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ
WILL NOW SHOW YOU.
HE’S NOT ADDRESSING
THE PROBLEM.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
THE PROBLEM’S COMING OUT
OF THE CAN.
THE D. O. A. THREW SHOTS
AT THIS WOMAN’S YOUNGER SON
WHICH CRIME SCENE MISSED
AND MY SAME EAGLE‐EYED
PARTNER JUST COME UP WITH
OUT OF THE HALLWAY FLOORBOARD.
HERE’S THE POINT.
HERE IS THE CRUCIAL POINT.
THIS WOMAN STARING DAGGERS
GOT HER OLDER SON
THAT OWNED THE PIECE
TO COOPERATE WITH US
PRIOR TO KNOWING
THAT IT WAS HER YOUNGER SON
THAT ACTUALLY USED THE PIECE.
WHICH THE OLDER BROTHER
DIDN’T KNOW HE WAS RENTING IT
TO THE YOUNGER BROTHER.
THE YOUNGER BROTHER
KNEW THE OLDER BROTHER
WOULDN’T RENT TO HIM,
SO HE RENTED
THROUGH AN INTERMEDIARY.
SO HERE,
THIS WOMAN STARING DAGGERS
GETS THE OLDER SON
INADVERTENTLY GIVING UP
HER YOUNGER SON ‐‐
THAT SHOULD MAKE
A PRETTY GOOD ARGUMENT
FOR SELF‐DEFENSE FOR,
TO BEGIN WITH,
THE YOUNGER SON.
SO, IT SHOULDN’T GO BAD
FOR NEITHER SON ON THE MERITS,
PLUS THEY BOTH
WERE ALSO COOPERATIVE,
AND WE’RE GOING TO DO
EVERYTHING WE CAN
HOW WE WRITE THINGS UP.
AND THIS IS WHAT YOU
GOT TO EXPLAIN TO HER.
THE WOMAN STARING DAGGERS?
YEAH, ’CAUSE SHE’S GOING
TO TAKE IT A LOT BETTER
COMING FROM YOU.
WE KIND OF STEERED HER INTO
A JACKPOT WITHOUT MEANING TO.
PLUS SHE’S TAKEN
AN INSTINCTIVE DISLIKE ‐‐
POSSIBLE RACIAL COMPONENT.
Andy: LORRAINE WIGGINS.
I’M ARTHUR FANCY.
MY DETECTIVES ASKED ME
TO TALK WITH YOU.
Lorraine: MAKE ME
WAIT ALL THIS TIME
AND DON’T HAVE NERVE
TO TALK TO ME THEIRSELVES?
SHALL WE TALK
IN MY OFFICE?
NO. TELL ME OUT HERE.
I KNOW YOU’RE
AFRAID FOR YOUR BOYS.
HE TOLD ME I COULD
TRUST HIM ‐‐
THAT OLD BALD ONE,
AND LOOK WHAT IT GOT ME.
THAT OLD BALD DETECTIVE
AND HIS PARTNER,
THEY TOLD ME
THIS HOMICIDE CLEARS
BECAUSE YOU
AND YOUR SONS COOPERATED.
AND WHAT DOES THAT
COUNT FOR?
D.A.s DON’T FIGURE
TO MAKE THEIR CAREERS
PROSECUTING CASES DETECTIVES
AREN’T REALLY BEHIND.
THEY KNOW THINGS CAN GET
EMBARRASSING AT TRIAL.
THEY’LL HAVE TO BE ARRAIGNED,
MRS. WIGGINS,
BUT I’D BE SURPRISED
IF EITHER OF YOUR SONS
GETS JAIL TIME.
AND IF THEY
DO END UP IN JAIL,
WHERE DO I CASH
YOU BEING SURPRISED?
WE HONOR THE FAVORS
PEOPLE DO US.
I WON’T BE ABLE TO STAND
SAYING GOODBYE TO THEM.
I’LL TELL YOUR BOYS
YOU SAID GOODBYE,
AND I’LL HAVE A LOT MORE
INFORMATION FOR YOU TOMORROW.
TELL THAT OLD BALD ONE
I HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE.
HE KNOWS.
Andy: HOW’D IT GO?
IT WENT OKAY.
WAS SHE, UH, COMBATIVE?
NO.
WHAT WAS SHE?
SHE ACCEPTS WE’RE
GOING TO TRY OUR BEST
TO KEEP HER SONS
OUT OF JAIL.
YEAH. I KNEW YOU’D
HAVE A BETTER RAPPORT.
SHE MAKE ANY
DEROGATORY REFERENCES?
SHE SAID YOU
WERE OLD AND BALD.
OLD?
BALD?
[ GREG GRUNTS ]
YOU HURT YOUR BACK, GREG?
NO, I JUST CAUGHT A TWINGE
WHEN I STRAIGHTENED.
MAC’S AT 7:00?
MAC’S AT 7:00.
GET THE RIGHT STATEMENTS
FROM HER SON.
ABSOLUTELY.
[ PEOPLE CHATTERING ]
HEY, UH, TOMMY.
[ TOMMY CLINKING GLASS ]
UH‐OH. HERE YOU GO.
UH, I BETTER GET ALL
THE, UH, TEASING AND LEVITY
OUT OF MY SYSTEM HERE TONIGHT
’CAUSE, UH, JAMES BEING
PROMOTED TO SERGEANT,
I KNOW ANY SHOE‐SQUEEZING
I DO THE NEXT TIME I SEE HIM
IS LIABLE TO COST ME
A 10‐DAY RIP.
[ PEOPLE LAUGHING AND GROANING ]
Greg: YEAH. UH, ONE THING,
UH, HIM GOING
BACK IN THE BAG,
I GET TO KEEP POSTPONING
THAT CONVERSATION
I’VE ALWAYS DREADED
HAVING WITH JAMES,
UH, ABOUT HIS TASTE
IN CLOTHES.
Woman: OH!
SO, UH,
WHAT SHOULD I
SAY ABOUT MY PARTNER
I HOOKED UP WITH
SEVEN YEARS AGO?
CAME OVER FROM ANTI‐CRIME
WET BEHIND THE EARS,
NOW HE’S LEAVING MARRIED
AND WITH A KID OF HIS OWN.
JAMES LEO MARTINEZ
HAS BEEN A PLEASURE
TO WORK WITH ‐‐
A FIRST‐RATE DETECTIVE
AND A GREAT DAILY COMPANION ‐‐
NOT JUST TAKING MY BACK,
WHICH THERE HAVE
BEEN THOSE DAYS,
AND THANK GOD JAMES
WAS WITH ME.
HE’S BEEN A GREAT PARTNER.
EVERYTHING LIFE BROUGHT,
WHATEVER CAME DOWN THE PIKE,
THAT’S WHAT
THE TWO OF US SHARED.
ALL OF US HERE KNOW
OUR TIME ON THIS JOB
GOES SO QUICK.
WE DON’T GET
MANY LONG‐TERM PARTNERS.
I’M GRATEFUL I CAUGHT
SUCH A LUCKY HAND.
SERGEANT JAMES MARTINEZ.
GO GET ’EM, PAL.
ONE THING ‐‐ MY WIFE MADE ME
PROMISE I WOULDN’T SING.
GOOD FOR GINA.
I ALSO WAIVE THE HONOREE’S
CUSTOMARY 10% CUT
OF THE POST‐RACKET
CRAP GAME!
[ WHISTLES ]
SERIOUSLY, I’M GRATEFUL
YOU ALL CAME TONIGHT,
AND I ENJOYED WORKING
WITH EVERY ONE OF YOUS,
AND I’M ALSO GRATEFUL
NOT TO BE LEAVING THIS JOB,
SO I CAN LOOK FORWARD TO US
KEEPING ON WORKING TOGETHER,
EVEN THOUGH
IN MY NEW CAPACITY,
I CAN’T
BE COMPROMISING MYSELF
CUTTING ANYONE
ANY SPECIAL BREAKS ‐‐
WHICH I HOPE YOU ALL KNOW
IS A BUNCH OF MALARKEY.
ONE THING IS,
IF WE DON’T RUN
INTO EACH OTHER WORKING,
I HOPE WE ALL
STILL CAN STAY IN TOUCH,
’CAUSE, UH, I REMEMBER,
EVEN IN HIGH SCHOOL,
MY CLOSEST BUDDIES,
WE DIDN’T STAY IN TOUCH
THAT MUCH,
SO I HOPE THAT
AIN’T THE CASE HERE.
I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY
AGAIN FOR COMING OUT,
AND, UH,
THANK GOD FOR WHOEVER
INVENTED THIS JOB.
WAY TO GO, SARGE.
LOOK AT THIS, RUDY.
LOOK WHAT I GAVE UP
FOR THIS MESS.
DIANE, DIANE,
I’M SORRY, HONEY.
HONEY? ARE YOU DRUNK?
I WISH I WAS DRUNK.
WHY’D YOU PAGE ME?
THIS HAS GOT TO BE
YOUR PARTNER’S EX.
DIANE RUSSELL FROM THE 15th,
RUDY RUSSO.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
BETTER THAN THIS GUY.
ARE YOU AT LEAST GOING TO
GET ME OFF THE HOT SEAT
FOR STANDING HER UP?
Russo: DENBY DISCOVERED
OUR MYSTERY MAN,
HANDS AND FEET CUT OFF,
HEAD CUT OFF SO WE
CAN’T CHECK DENTAL RECORDS.
BEST THIS GUY
GIVES ME FOR A LEAD
IS TWO UNIDENTIFIED
MALE HISPANICS
BEATING FEET
DOWN THE STREET OUT THERE.
EXCUSE ME FOR MY
FIRST CURIOSITY BEING,
WHAT MISCHIEF MIGHT
THE UNIDENTIFIED MALE HISPANICS
BE UP TO IN THE ALLEY?
Diane: THANKS.
YOU’RE A GOOD INFLUENCE.
LATEST I’VE
SEEN DENBY UPRIGHT.
WHAT AM I DOING HERE,
DENBY?
I GIVE UP
ON YOUR PARTNER’S PLACE,
LIKE, TWO HOURS AGO,
START SITTING ON ONE
OF THE DOMINICANS
HER EX‐HUSBAND MULED FOR
LIKE TWO BLOCKS FROM HERE.
ONE OF HIS CREW’S OUTSIDE
WASHING DOWN THE INSIDE
OF A VAN.
I START CHECKING
SOME DUMPSTERS,
I FIND THAT.
YOU DIDN’T TELL RUSSO
ABOUT SITTING
ON THE DOMINICANS’ PLACE?
THESE DOMINICANS
ARE GOING AWAY ANYHOW.
IF THAT BODY
IS YOUR PARTNER’S EX,
MY LIFE’S A LOT SIMPLER
IF HE’S NEVER IDENTIFIED.
THE ONLY THING ‐‐
IS THIS HIS RING,
DO YOU KNOW?
YOU FOUND THAT
ON THE BODY?
SOME KIND OF INTERLOCKED
HEARTS ON THE INSIDE.
DO YOU KNOW IF IT’S HIS?
’CAUSE HE DIDN’T HAVE A RING
WHEN I WAS GUARDING HIM.
I WANT THAT.
YOU WANT TO GIVE IT
TO YOUR PARTNER?
YEAH.
YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT
MY LIFE BEING SIMPLER?
GIVE ME THE RING, DENBY.
SO IT IS HIS RING.
YEAH...
[ SIGHS ]
IT’S HIS.
