Diane turns to a friend at the Survivor's Network for help. A body is pulled from the water. Two Chinese men are brought in handcuffed together. The new computers arrive.
THEY SAY YOU DON'T WAKE
A SLEEPWALKER,
BUT I'M GOING TO TAKE
MY CHANCES.
LINDA, HI.
THANKS FOR COMING.
YOU SOUNDED LIKE
YOU NEEDED COMPANY.
SORRY TO CALL YOU
SO EARLY.
I'VE BEEN HAVING
A TOUGH TIME.
WHEN FRANK GOT KILLED,
THE SURVIVORS NETWORK
SAVED MY LIFE.
FIRST TWO MONTHS,
JEANNIE O'MALLEY
BABYSAT ME EVERY NIGHT
TILL MIDNIGHT.
THE LEAST I CAN DO
IS HAVE BREAKFAST.
ON ME.
WHERE DO I START?
ANY PLACE YOU WANT.
I'VE BEEN SLEEPING
WITH SOMEONE.
THAT'S GOOD, DIANE.
GOOD? HOW?
THAT I HAD BOBBY'S LOVE
AND I VIOLATED IT?
'CAUSE I MISS
BEING TOUCHED,
SO I LET SOMEONE ELSE
TOUCH ME?
'CAUSE I'M TRYING TO LIVE,
AND IT'S MAKING ME
A WRECK?
IT'S GOOD, BECAUSE
BEING NUMB IS WORSE.
YEAH, WELL,
I ENDED IT.
AND DO YOU FEEL BETTER?
NO.
I'M UP ALL NIGHT.
I CAN'T STOP CRYING,
THINKING OF BOBBY.
I FEEL AWFUL, WHAT I'M
PUTTING THIS GUY THROUGH.
HE'S A GOOD GUY.
DID YOU BREAK IT OFF
WITH THIS GUY
'CAUSE OF THIS GUY
OR 'CAUSE OF BOBBY?
I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE BOTH.
HE A FRIEND BEFORE
HE WAS YOUR BOYFRIEND?
YEAH.
SO, BE GRATEFUL TO HIM.
AND IF YOU WANT, MOVE ON.
THAT'S LIFE.
IT'S BOBBY THAT'S GONE.
YOU'RE STILL HERE.
JEEZ.
WHAT A HORRIBLE SMELL.
ALREADY GETTING RIPE.
MUST BE DEAD A WEEK.
ANDY SIPOWICZ.
AS I LIVE AND BREATHE.
JOE FALOONA,
DANNY SORENSON.
HEY, DANNY.
YEAH, HI.
HOW CAN YOU EAT
WITH THAT SMELL?
IT'S BREAKFAST ‐‐
FRIED EGG AND BACON.
I'VE BEEN HERE
A COUPLE HOURS, ANDY.
A COUPLE OF DOCKWORKERS
FOUND THIS THING BANGING
AGAINST THE PYLONS,
BROKE IT OPEN,
AND BOOM ‐‐ FLOATER.
A FLOATER
AND A HALF.
50‐ish, MALE CAUCASIAN.
LOOKS LIKE A LARGE‐CALIBER
BULLET WOUND TO THE HEAD.
I'D BET HE WENT
300 POUNDS.
THAT'S BEFORE HE SOPPED UP
HALF THE EAST RIVER.
WHAT'S THAT ON HIS SHOULDER,
A BIRTHMARK?
I MAKE THAT OUT TO BE
SOME KIND OF WACK TATTOO,
MAYBE LIKE A DOG
OR A PIG.
THE DIVERS
MADE A SEARCH?
DIVERS' BOAT'S
ON THE WAY.
OKAY, JOE, THANKS.
NOTHING MUCH TO CANVASS
EXCEPT FOR SEA GULLS.
WHAT ABOUT THOSE DOCK HANDS
WHO FOUND THIS?
GREG'S TALKING
TO THEM NOW.
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THEY'RE
GOING TO BE MUCH HELP.
WHAT'D I MISS?
A FLOATER.
HE COME UP IN A BARREL.
YEAH, I HEARD.
OH. THEN YOU'RE
UP TO DATE.
SO WHAT DO WE
MAKE OF THIS?
LOOKS PRETTY CHEWED UP.
THE BAD GUYS PUNCHED HOLES
TO KEEP IT DOWN,
BUT CARDBOARD FLOODS
WHEN IT GETS WET,
SO ALL THE HOLES
CLOSED UP.
D.O.A.'s BODY GASSES MUST HAVE
POPPED IT UP TO THE SURFACE.
THINK IT'S A MOB HIT?
NOT LIKE MOB GUYS GOT
SPECIAL DEGREES
IN WATER ABSORPTION.
I'M GOING TO GIVE GREG
A HAND.
I'M GOING TO GET THE CAMERA,
TAKE SOME PHOTOS.
I THOUGHT THINGS
WERE OKAY WITH THAT.
THAT WAS THEN.
LOOK, SHE'S GOT A LOT
ON HER PLATE.
MAYBE SHE STILL NEEDS ROOM
TO SORT THROUGH IT ALL.
I'M NOT CROWDING HER,
ANDY.
MAYBE IT'S NOT
ABOUT YOU.
YEAH. I GUESS I WISH
IT WAS.
YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT.
THANKS.
TENTATIVE I. D.
ON OUR BARREL GUY.
IVAN VOS‐‐
VOST‐‐ VOS‐‐
IT'S A RUSSIAN GENTLEMAN.
GENTLEMAN, MAYBE.
HE'S IN THE OIL BUSINESS.
HALF OF THOSE GUYS HAVE TIES
WITH THE RUSSIAN MOB.
SHOT THREE TIMES
WITH A .45.
I'M RUNNING HIM
THROUGH OCCB.
THE WIFE FILED
A MISSING PERSONS REPORT
WITH NASSAU COUNTY FOUR DAYS
AGO FROM DISNEY WORLD.
THAT TATTOO OF A PIT BULL
MATCHED THE DESCRIPTION.
THE WIFE'S

GOT BACK LAST NIGHT.
SAID THEY'D PLANNED
TO MEET THERE
FOR A FAMILY VACATION,
BUT HER HUSBAND NEVER SHOWED.
IVGENIA. SHE ALSO REPORTED
HIS BLACK MERCEDES MISSING.

FIGURED IT WAS BETTER
IN PERSON.

SUPPOSED TO GO OVER
SOME NEW PROCEDURES.

LET'S YOU AND ME
GO TALK WITH ANGELO.
NASSAU COUNTY MISSING PERSONS

THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU TOLD
TWO COPS LAST WEEK
ABOUT A BLACK MERCEDES PARKED

I WAS WATCHING IT

WHAT'S YOUR FRIEND'S NAME?
TRISTAN.
DON'T BELONG

FRICKIN' GUY.
YEAH, CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE
AGAIN, HUH, ANGELO?
WHERE'S THE CAR NOW?
I DON'T KNOW.
HOW LONG YOU BEEN

MY FATHER‐IN‐LAW

YOU WANT TO GET CUFFED
AND HAULED OUT
IN FRONT

TRISTAN GIBBS.
I DONE BUSINESS

APPROACHES ME,
WILL I SHRED THIS CAR OF HIS

I COME HOME FROM WORK,
THERE'S A $100,000
MERCEDES OUT FRONT.
IT'S GOT NINE ALARM SYSTEMS,
HOOKED UP TO SATELLITE
AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
I CAN'T TOUCH THAT.
SO I TRY LEAVING MESSAGES
FOR TRISTAN,
AND NOW HE'S A. W. O. L.
WAIT A MINUTE.
HERE WE GO.
RIGHT THERE.
TRISTAN GIBBS
AND HIS PHONE NUMBER.

HE'S SCHEDULED TO COME HOME
THE NIGHT BEFORE WE GO
TO DISNEY WORLD.
HIS PLANE LAND,
BUT HE NEVER COMES HOME.
IN MORNING, I TAKE CHILDREN
TO THE AIRPORT.
MAYBE HE WILL MEET US THERE,
BUT HE NEVER SHOW.
I THINK MAYBE HE TURNED BACK,
BUT KIDS ARE SO LOOK FORWARD.
A FEW DAYS AGO ‐‐
NOW HE'S GONE.
HOW COME IT TOOK YOU
A FEW DAYS
BEFORE YOU CALLED
THE POLICE?
MRS. VOSTROPOVILICH ‐‐
SO MANY TIMES
HE CHANGE SCHEDULE
AT THE LAST MINUTE,
COMES HOME LATE.
DID YOUR HUSBAND
HAVE ANY ENEMIES,
LIKE FROM HIS
OIL TRADING BUSINESS?
YOU KNOW,
MAYBE I'M STUPID WOMAN,
BUT I DON'T LOOK CLOSE
TO IVAN'S WORK ‐‐
BETTER PROTECTS FAMILY.
BUT HE KEEPS ALL HIS PAPERS
IN THE OFFICE.
I CAN TAKE YOU THERE.
THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
UH, YOU COMING, TOO?
IT'S NICE TO HAVE A WOMAN.
OKAY, THAT'S PANG AND XO.
THEY'RE DELIVERY GUYS.
KIDNAPPED OFF THEIR BIKES
BY SNAKEHEADS.
CHINESE GANGSTERS.
HOW COME THESE GUYS
WERE HASSLING EACH OTHER?
WELL, THE GUY TELLS PANG
ABOUT THE SISTER.
SNAKEHEAD STILL GOT HER ‐‐
[ BOTH ARGUING IN CHINESE ]
[ SPEAKS CHINESE ]
[ SPEAKS CHINESE ]
NOW, PANG'S ILLEGAL.
HE DIDN'T WANT TO GO
TO THE COPS.
SNAKEHEADS JUMPED HIM
IN THE ALLEY
LOOKING TO GET PAID
FROM SMUGGLING HIM
INTO THE COUNTRY.
NOW, PANG SAY
HE ALREADY PAID.
THEY PISTOL‐WHIPPED HIM
AND MADE HIM TAKE THEM
TO THE PLACE
THEY BOTH SHARED.
THEY TRASHED IT,
DIDN'T FIND NO CASH.
TIED THEM UP, CUT THEM,
RUBBED SALT
INTO THEIR WOUNDS.
WHY TORTURE THEM?
RESTAURANTS THESE GUYS WORK AT
USUALLY OWNED BY FAMILY.
SNAKEHEADS CALL FOR RANSOM,
HOSTAGE BEG FAMILY TO PAY.

SNAKEHEADS FOUND HER

CUFFED THESE TWO GUYS
TO THE REFRIGERATOR
THEN RAPED THE GIRL,
SMASHED HER HEAD

933 MEGAHERTZ, 20 GIGABYTES ‐‐
WHAT'S IT DOING

HAVING ROOM FOR ALL YOUR STUFF.
IT'S A DIGITAL WORLD NOW.

NICE SMALL FOOTPRINT
ON THE BOX, TOO.

WHERE WOULD I GET
A FINE RIDE LIKE THAT?
THEM $8 INCLUDE YOUR
ALTERNATE SOURCES OF INCOME?
SEE, WE ALREADY GOT ANGELO,
WHO GAVE YOU UP
AS WHO PASSED HIM
THAT BLACK MERCEDES.
THE THING IS,
WHEN YOU SAY "HAVE,"
I INTERPRET IT AS "OWN."
NOW I SEE YOU SAY "HAVE"
AS IN "IN MY POSSESSION."
TRISTAN'S A REAL STICKLER
FOR WORDS,
LIKE OUR FORMER PRESIDENT.
TRISTAN, WE GOT YOU BRINGING
ANGELO THE BLACK MERCEDES.
THE OWNER
HASN'T BEEN SEEN SINCE
AND HE TURNS UP DEAD.
THAT'S ENOUGH TO LOCK YOU UP
FOR MURDER RIGHT NOW.
THE DEVIL YOU SAY!
I DIDN'T KILL NO ONE!
WELL, WE'LL JUST LET THE COURTS
SORT THAT ONE OUT.
MEANTIME,
WE'LL RING YOUR P. O.
I WASN'T ‐‐ I JUST PASSED
THE RIDE ON TO ANGELO
FOR A FRIEND.
WHO'S THE FRIEND?
WE CAN EITHER
CALL YOUR P. O.,
HAVE YOU VIOLATED, AND YOU GO
STRAIGHT TO RIKER'S,
OR ON THE OFF CHANCE
YOU DIDN'T KILL THIS GUY,
YOU CAN COOPERATE,
AND WE CAN PRETEND
WE LOST HIS NUMBER.
I TOLD HIM,
I TOLD THAT RASCAL THAT.
I HELP HIM,
BUT I DON'T TAKE THE HEAT.
YOU TELL VERNON
WHEN HE ‐‐
I'M NO RAT.
VERNON GOT A LAST NAME?
McGEE. HAVEN'T SPOKE TO HIM
FOR FIVE YEARS.
CALL ME OUT OF THE BLUE,
SAY CAN I GET THE CAR
SHREDDED?
ALL RIGHT,
HOW ABOUT WE START AT THE TOP?
VERNON SAY TO MEET HIM
IN GREAT NECK WITH MY TRUCK.
HE'D THROW ME A GRAND.
TAKE ME TO THE CELL,
I SEE THIS GREAT WHITE WHALE
WITH BRAINS OUT ON THE CARPET.
I DON'T ASK NO QUESTIONS.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BODY?
HELP VERNON STUFF IT
IN A BARREL.
TOOK IT TO THE RIVER.
YOU JUST HAPPENED
TO HAVE A BARREL?
BROOKLYN‐STYLE JAMAICANS USE
TO SEND GOODIES BACK
TO THE ISLANDS.
A GUY CALLS YOU HADN'T SPOKEN TO
IN FIVE YEARS,
HE'S SITTING ON A DEAD BODY,
YOU DON'T KNOW
WHO'S COMING HOME,
AND YOU STAY TO HELP?
WHEN I WAS INCARCERATED,

FOR MY POOR SICK MOTHER.
AND I NEEDED THE CASH.
WHERE WE FIND VERNON?
Man: POLICE ‐‐ FREEZE!
POLICE ‐‐ FREEZE!
FREEZE!

[ SPEAKS CHINESE ]
NO ONE HERE, GREG.
SHE'S GONE.
OH, GOD.
IT'S THE GIRL'S DRESS
COVERED IN BLOOD.
IT'S A MESSAGE FOR THE FAMILY.
THEY MEAN BUSINESS.
[ METAL CLINKS ]
[ SHOUTS IN CHINESE ]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
IN THERE?
[ SPEAKING CHINESE ]
HE'S JUST SOME GUY THEY PAID
TO PLANT THE DRESS.
[ SPEAKS CHINESE ]
[ SPEAKS CHINESE ]
HE WON'T TELL. HE'S AFRAID
OF THE SNAKEHEADS.
CUFF HIM,
BRING HIM TO THE HOUSE.
SECURE THE APARTMENT
UNTIL CRIME SCENE GETS HERE
TO DUST FOR PRINTS.
EVEN WHEN YOU GET A LIFT,
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET A MATCH.
ALL THESE GUYS ARE ILLEGAL.
I KNOW THAT, HAROLD. WHERE ARE
WE GOING TO FIND THIS GIRL?
WE GO TO THE RESTAURANT.
RIGHT.
THE SNAKEHEADS CALL BACK,
WE TRAP THE CALL.
YOU THINK SHE'S DEAD.
I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT I'M AFRAID ‐‐
SHE MIGHT WISH SHE WAS.
I'M A RESPECTABLE CITIZEN NOW.
WHAT'D YOU ALL
HAUL ME IN HERE FOR?
TELL US WHY YOU THINK
WE HAULED YOU IN HERE.
'CAUSE I GOT A RECORD,
YOU THINK
I DID SOMETHING I AIN'T.
AIN'T YOU KNOW SOMEONE
NAMED IVAN VOSTROPOVILICH?
LANDSCAPE COMPANY
THAT I WORK WITH
DID SOME WORK
IN THE MAN'S YARD.
YOU EVER BEEN
IN HIS BLACK MERCEDES?
ONCE.
LEFT IT BLOCKING THE TRUCK.
BOSS ASKED ME TO MOVE IT.
VERNON, WHERE WERE YOU
LAST THURSDAY NIGHT?
LIKE EVERY NIGHT ‐‐
ON MY ROOFTOP WORKING OUT,
KEEPING IN SHAPE.
YOU SURE YOU WEREN'T
OUT HITTING GOLF BALLS?
ANYONE HAPPEN
TO SEE YOU UP THERE?
NO. COUPLE OF PIGEONS.
DON'T MAKE FOR A GREAT ALIBI.
WHAT DO I NEED AN ALIBI FOR?
YOU TRIED TO ROB HIM
AND HE FOUGHT BACK, HUH?
YOU KILLED THIS GUY
AND YOU TOOK HIS CAR.
YOU GOT A BARREL AND YOU
DUMPED HIS BODY IN THE RIVER.
IT WASN'T ME.
I DIDN'T KILL NOBODY,
I SWEAR TO GOD.
LIKE YOU DIDN'T STAB YOUR
GIRLFRIEND EIGHT YEARS AGO.
I DID TIME FOR THAT.
I CHANGED MY LIFE SINCE THEN.
I GUESS WE BETTER
LET HIM GO.
GIVE IT UP, VERNON.
I ‐‐ MAN ‐‐
YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND,
ALL RIGHT?
THIS WASN'T HER FAULT.
SHE JUST COULDN'T TAKE NO MORE.
WHO'S SHE?
GENIA, HIS WIFE.
THURSDAY NIGHT ABOUT 11:00,
SHE CALLED
AND SHE SAID
SHE'D FINALLY DONE IT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IVAN.
COMES HOME DRUNK AS A SKUNK,
SMACKING HER AROUND
LIKE ALWAYS.
SHE FOUND HIS .45
AND SHE SHOT HIM,
AND THAT HAS GOT TO BE
SELF‐DEFENSE.
WHO ARE YOU,
F. LEE BAILEY?
SELF‐DEFENSE?
WHY DIDN'T SHE CALL THE COPS?
WHERE SHE'S FROM,
YOU DON'T CALL THE COPS.
SO SHE PHONES THE GARDENER.
ALL RIGHT.
I'M NOT GOING TO LIE TO YOU.
ME AND GENIA...
WE'RE IN LOVE.
YOU'RE SAYING YOU WERE
BANGING IVAN'S WIFE?
I'M SAYING THAT WE'RE IN LOVE.
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
ALL RIGHT, LOOK.
YOU GO TALK TO HER, ALL RIGHT?
TELL HER THAT VERNON SAID
THAT IT WAS ALL RIGHT
TO TELL THE TRUTH
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
SHE TELL THE TRUTH
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED,
EVERYTHING HERE
IS GOING TO BE OKAY.
Andy: AHEM.
WHAT'S UP?
THIS VERNON McGEE
THAT WE BROUGHT IN,
HE SAYS THAT HIM
AND MRS. KHRUSHCHEV ARE AN ITEM
AND THAT SHE KILLED HER HUSBAND
OFF OF GETTING SICK
OF BEING HIT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IVGENIA?
SAYS THAT THE TWO OF THEM
ARE IN LOVE.
YOU MET HER. ANY CHANCE
HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH?
HE MAY BE IN LOVE,
BUT NO WAY IN HELL SHE IS.
THIS WOMAN,
SHE'S ACROSS‐THE‐BOARD RACIST.
AND WE KNOW THIS HOW?
I JUST SPENT HALF THE DAY
WITH HER.
SHE SEEM
LIKE A RACIST TO YOU?
I CAN'T SAY
I PICKED THAT UP.
YEAH, WELL, I DID.
COME ON, WHY DON'T YOU
TALK TO HIM?
WHAT, YOU GOT TO BRING IN
A BROTHER?
I'M DETECTIVE JONES,
VERNON.
WHY DON'T YOU TELL US
HOW YOU TWO MET?
I WAS WORKING IN THE YARD
OUT AT HER PLACE.
GENIA COMES OVER,
STARTS UP A CONVERSATION ‐‐
SPORTS, WEATHER.
THE USUAL STUFF.
RIGHT.
SO, AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS,
WE'RE HITTING IT OFF.
HER HUSBAND GOES BACK AND FORTH
TO RUSSIA ALL THE TIME.
ME AND HER,
WE BOTH LIKE R&B
AND ITALIAN FOOD,
SO WE JUST START
SEEING EACH OTHER.
BEING THE HUSBAND'S
OUT OF TOWN.
YEAH. HE TREATED HER
LIKE AN ANIMAL.
HE BEAT HER,
HE CALLED HER NAMES
LIKE "PIG" AND "SLUT."
GENIA,
SHE TREATED ME RIGHT.
SHE GAVE ME MONEY,
NICE ROLEX.
LET'S GET TO WHAT HAPPENED.
SHE HAD TO DO IT.
HE WOULD HAVE KILLED HER
SOMEDAY.
SO SHE SHOT HIM.
SHE CALLED ME UP,
ASKED ME FOR HELP
TO GET RID OF THE BODY,
SHRED THE CAR,
JUST MAKE IT LOOK LIKE
IT WENT DOWN SOMEPLACE ELSE.
WHY NOT
JUST CALL THE COPS?
LIKE I WAS SAYING,
RUSSIAN PEOPLE ARE
SCARED TO DEATH OF COPS.
THEM IS WHO TAKE YOU AWAY
TO SIBERIA.
MAKE SURE ‐‐
TELL HER I SAID
IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY.
WE'RE DONE. THANKS.
UNBELIEVABLE.
STORY LIKE THAT.
WHO WOULD MAKE THAT UP?
MAYBE THE TWO OF THEM
DID IT TOGETHER.
MAYBE SHE DID DO IT
AND SHE'D BEEN
SETTING THIS GUY UP.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT
I'M THINKING.
THERE'S JUST THE WOMAN
I WANTED TO SEE. COUNSELOR.
WE NEED A SUBPOENA
FOR A PHONE DUMP
ON THE WIFE
OF THAT, UH, FLOATER.
I THOUGHT WE HAD A CASE
ON WHAT'S HIS NAME ‐‐ McGEE.
WELL, HE SAYS IT WAS
THE WIFE THAT KILLED HIM.
ANYTHING BACKING THAT UP?
HE SOUNDED PRETTY CREDIBLE.
I'LL GET YOUR SUBPOENA.
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GET.
CAN WE TALK?
LATER.
SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING,
IF SOMEONE GIVES YOU
A COMPLIMENT,
IT'S NOT POLITE
TO SAY XIE‐XIE.
NO. IT'S NOT HUMBLE.
YOU SAY XIE‐XIE WHEN SOMEONE
DO SOMETHING FOR YOU.
SO WHEN SOMEONE SAYS XIE‐XIE
BECAUSE YOU DONE SOMETHING
FOR THEM,
THE POLITE RESPONSE TO THAT
IS DON'T BE POLITE.
BINGO.
THAT'S NOT A LANGUAGE.
IT'S A CODE.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

DANNY SORENSON.
DETECTIVES RUSSELL AND JONES

ALEXI SLAKOV, ATTORNEY
FOR MRS. VOSTROPOVILICH.
SOME REASON SHE THINKS
SHE NEEDS A LAWYER?
WORRIED HER POOR ENGLISH MIGHT
HINDER THE INVESTIGATION.
HER ENGLISH IS JUST FINE.
WE JUST HAVE
A FEW QUESTIONS.
THE NIGHT BEFORE YOU FLEW
TO ORLANDO,
YOU CANCELED
IVAN'S PLANE TICKET.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?
PART OF THE INVESTIGATION.
WE LOOKED AT CALLS,
INCOMING AND OUTGOING,
FROM THE HOME
OF THE DECEASED.
WE HAD A SUBPOENA.
I CANCELED, IT'S TRUE.
YET YOU TOLD
DETECTIVE JONES AND ME
YOU WERE HOPING IVAN WOULD
MEET YOU AT THE AIRPORT.
I WAS ANGRY.
I THOUGHT HE MIGHT BE
WITH ANOTHER WOMAN,
MAYBE LEAVE ME.
I DIDN'T WANT TO ADMIT.
THAT EXPLAIN WHY YOU CALLED
F&G CARPET
MORNING BEFORE YOU LEFT
AND ASKED THEM TO REPLACE
THE CARPET IN YOUR BASEMENT?
THE MAN SAYS
WHEN THEY GOT TO YOUR HOUSE,
THEY FOUND A 6‐FOOT PIECE
CUT FROM IT.
IT'S TRUE.
OKAY, THE TRUE STORY.
I AM HAVING AFFAIR WITH MAN.
THIS MAN GOT A NAME?
VERNON McGEE.
HE'S DONE SOME WORK AROUND
MY HOUSE AND THE GARDEN.
YOUR HUSBAND KNOW
ABOUT THIS?
NOT FOR SURE
TILL HE CAME BACK HOME
THE NIGHT BEFORE
WE GO TO DISNEY WORLD.
HE FOUND OUT THEN?
IVAN CAME IN
ON VERNON AND ME,
GOT THIS LOOK IN THE EYE
LIKE A MAD BULL,
START TO BELLOW.
SAYS HE CANNOT BELIEVE I SLEEP
WITH THIS OBEZHIANA.
MONKEY.
PLEASE EXCUSE MY LANGUAGE.
HE START TO HIT ME.
WHAT DID VERNON DO?
TRIES AND STOP HIM.
THEY STRUGGLE,
BUT IVAN WAS TOO ANGRY,
SO VERNON GOES
TO THE KITCHEN,
GETS IVAN GUN,
AND SHOOT HIM.
THANKS GOD.
NO MORE HITTING.
WHY DIDN'T YOU
CALL THE POLICE?
IN RUSSIA,
POLICE SHOOT FIRST.
I WAS AFRAID
VERNON GO TO JAIL.
I KNOW HE HAS
A CRIMINAL RECORD.
ARE WE FINISHED?
WE'D APPRECIATE
YOUR STICKING AROUND
FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES
WHILE WE SORT THIS OUT.
OF COURSE.
TRUTH IS, EVIDENCE COULD POINT
IN EITHER DIRECTION
OR TO THEM DOING IT
TOGETHER.
HE SAID, SHE SAID.
SHE'S THE ONE
WHO'S LYING.
YOU KNOW FOR A FACT?
I CAN'T PUT YOU ON THE STAND
SAYING YOU GOT A GUT INSTINCT.
TERESA,
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
ON THE MERITS, I GOT
A BETTER SHOT AGAINST VERNON.
'CAUSE HE'S A BLACK MAN
WITH A RECORD
AND SHE'S A RICH
WHITE WOMAN?
IT'S NOT OFF BLACK AND WHITE.
I KNOW WHAT A JURY
IS GOING TO THINK.
THAT'S ALL IT'S ABOUT?
I KNOW THIS GUY
THINKS THEY WERE IN LOVE,
BUT THEY WEREN'T,
'CAUSE THAT WOMAN
IS A RACIST.
THE ONLY REASON SHE'D BE
WITH HIM IS SHE SET HIM UP.
NOT A CLEVER PLAN,
TYING HER HUSBAND'S MURDER
TO A MAN
SHE'S HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH.
MAYBE HE WAS
LIKE A CONTINGENCY,
IN CASE THE MURDER
CAME BACK TO HER.
SHE CANCELED HIS FLIGHT
THE NIGHT HE WAS KILLED.
NEXT MORNING SHE CALLS
TO REPLACE THE CARPET.
SHE EXPLAINS ALL THAT ‐‐
COVERING FOR VERNON.
THAT JAMAICAN GUY IS YOUR
ONLY INDEPENDENT WITNESS.
HE TIES THE BODY TO VERNON.
VERNON SAYS SHE CALLED AT 11:00
FOR HIM TO COME HELP.
PHONE RECORDS SHOW A CALL
TO VERNON'S HOUSE AT 11:00.
DID YOU ASK HER ABOUT IT?
DID YOU TELL HER
THAT VERNON SAID SHE DID IT?
IF WE DID THAT
WITH HER LAWYER IN THE ROOM,
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE END
OF THE CONVERSATION.
LOOK, MY JOB IS
EVALUATING THE EVIDENCE,
AND IT'S MY OPINION
THAT WE SHOULD MOVE ON VERNON.
THAT'S NOT YOUR CALL,
COUNSELOR.
OUR JOB IS WE ARREST
WHO WE THINK DID IT.
YOU AT THE D. A.'s OFFICE, YOU DO
WHATEVER YOU WANT AFTER THAT.
MEANING WHAT?
I GO WITH THIS GUY.
YOU ARREST THE WIFE,
IT'S GOING TO WEAKEN
MY CASE AGAINST VERNON.
THAT'S ASSUMING YOU CAN FIND
SOMEONE ELSE TO ARREST HIM
'CAUSE WE'RE ARRESTING THE WIFE.
DO WE EVEN KNOW VERNON'S WILLING
TO TESTIFY AGAINST HER
IF THEY'RE SO IN LOVE?
BECAUSE WITHOUT HIM,
WE'RE SCREWED.
WELL, I COULD FIND OUT.
IVGENIA TOLD US IT WAS YOU
THAT SHOT IVAN.
WHAT?
SHE SAYS YOU DID IT,
VERNON.
OH, NO, NO.
SHE ‐‐ SHE WOULDN'T
DO THAT, MAN.
WE'RE IN LOVE.
LOOK, VERNON,
YOU WORKED THERE.
SHE COMES ON TO YOU,
SHE GIVES YOU MONEY,
BUYS YOU A WATCH.
I DIDN'T KILL HIM.
SHE ASKED ME TO.
I TOLD HER NO.
IT'S YOU GETS RID
OF THE BODY,
IT'S YOU GETS RID
OF THE CAR.
NOW, WHOSE IDEA WAS IT
GETTING RID OF THE CAR?
HERS.
IT'S THE CAR
WE TRACED YOU THROUGH.
HOW'S IT GOING TO LOOK?
YOU'RE SAYING
SHE SET ME UP?
IN CASE HIS DYING
CAME BACK TO HER,
SHE COULD PIN IT ON YOU.
SHE'S SAYING
THAT I KILLED HIM?
IN THE OTHER ROOM RIGHT NOW
WITH HER FANCY LAWYER.
OH, GOD.
HOW STUPID COULD I BE?
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU THINK
WITH YOUR LITTLE HEAD.
NOW, YOU OR HER ‐‐
ONE OF YOU
IS GETTING CHARGED.
THE OTHER GETS TO WALK
FOR TESTIFYING.
THE D. A.'s JUST AS HAPPY IT'S
HER TESTIFYING AGAINST YOU,
BUT WE'RE HOPING IT'S YOU
TESTIFYING AGAINST HER.
I DIDN'T KILL HIM.
THERE YOU GO.
COUNSELOR, WE'RE PLACING
YOUR CLIENT UNDER ARREST.
ON WHAT CHARGE?
THE MURDER
OF HER HUSBAND.
THAT ANIMAL TELL YOU
I KILL IVAN?
THAT LYING BABOON?
Andy: ARE YOU REFERRING
TO VERNON?
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO SPEAK WITH AN ATTORNEY.
I AM HER ATTORNEY.
THIS IS AMERICA.
ANIMAL STICK UP FOR ANIMAL!
Andy: YOU'LL PROBABLY MAKE
NIGHT COURT.
YOUR ATTORNEY
CAN SEE YOU THERE.
PLEASE GET UP.
YOU TOO.
GET IN THE CAGE, PLEASE.
Alexi: DON'T SAY ANY MORE
UNTIL I NOTIFY YOU OTHERWISE.
THEM RUSSKIES, HUH?
NOT MAJOR SUPPORTERS
OF THE RAINBOW COALITION.
WHAT, DO YOU MEAN LIKE ITALIANS
OR IRISH OR, UH, POLES?
HEY, DID I DO SOMETHING?
NO, JUST MAKING A POINT.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS
FOR BACKING ME UP IN THERE.
IT SO HAPPENED
I AGREED IT WAS THE WIFE.
YEAH, WELL, JUST THE SAME,
I APPRECIATE IT.
YEAH. GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.
HEY, PARTNER.
HEARD YOU HAD
A BIG DAY TODAY.
YEAH.
YEAH, WE SAVED A GIRL.
I JUST COME

OVER TO MATT FOR A DRINK.
YOU WANT TO COME?
HAROLD'S FAMOUS
TELLING STORIES.
YEAH, WHY NOT?
RIGHT.
UH, I'M DETECTIVE MEDAVOY.
ARE YOU SURE
THAT'S FOR ME?
DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ
DIDN'T WANT IT.
YOU'RE THE NEXT
SENIOR DETECTIVE.
HUH. YEAH, I‐I GUESS I AM.
HEY, YOU NEED ANY HELP
WITH IT,
JUST GIVE ME A CALL.
YEAH, THAT'S, UH,
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA, UH, TRISH.
I JUST MIGHT TAKE YOU UP
ON THAT.
WE, UH, READY TO GO?
OKAY I MEET YOU THERE?
SURE.
BLACK MAN MAKES
FOR A BETTER DEFENDANT.
THAT'S, UH,
THAT'S PRETTY CYNICAL.
YOU COME IN HERE
TO TELL ME OFF?
I JUST THOUGHT
WE COULD TALK ABOUT IT.
WHAT'S TO TALK ABOUT?
YOU STAND HERE AND TELL ME
100% FOR CERTAIN
HE DIDN'T DO IT.
I DON'T THINK HE DID.
YOU DON'T THINK SO?
AND YOU'RE INSULTED 'CAUSE
I DIDN'T GO ALONG WITH THAT?
I'M INSULTED ‐‐
I'M INSULTED HOW IT SEEMS
LIKE YOU'RE MORE INTERESTED
IN WHO'S EASIER TO PUT AWAY
THAN WHO DID IT.
DON'T WE HAVE ENOUGH
LIKE THAT?
SAYING BECAUSE I'M BLACK,
I SHOULD DO THINGS DIFFERENT?
YEAH, I GUESS MAYBE
THAT IS WHAT I'M SAYING.
YOU GOT YOUR WAY HERE,
BALDWIN.
I DON'T KNOW WHY
YOU'RE COMPLAINING.
WELL, THAT'S ME.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT, DANNY.
HEY.
HEY.
UM...
YOU GOT A MINUTE
FOR ME NOW?
SURE.
DANNY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M FINE, DIANE.
IF I HURT YOU, I CAN'T
TELL YOU HOW SORRY I AM.
DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR ME.
I'M A BIG BOY.
OKAY, HOW ABOUT
I JUST SAY THANKS?
YOU BEING THERE FOR ME.
THAT IT?
DANNY, DON'T
BE ANGRY AT ME.
I'LL GET OVER IT.
WILL YOU
TALK TO ME, PLEASE?
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME
TO SAY, DIANE?
OH, BOOHOO?
I LOVE YOU, DON'T LEAVE ME?
I DON'T BEG.
NO ONE'S LOOKING
FOR YOU TO BEG.
IT COULD BE
I WASN'T READY.
IT COULD BE
I SHOULD HAVE WAITED.
COULD BE YOU SHOULD HAVE
GIVEN US HALF A CHANCE.
DANNY...
[ SIGHS ]
IT WASN'T GOING TO WORK,
LONG TERM.
IF I STAYED WITH YOU
KNOWING THAT,
WE'D HAVE LOST
OUR FRIENDSHIP, TOO,
AND I COULDN'T
HANDLE THAT.
YEAH, OKAY.
YOU HELPED ME
COME ALIVE AGAIN.
I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
FOR THAT.
THEO, YOU ONLY ATE
HALF YOUR NOODLES.
HOW YOU GOT ROOM
FOR AN ICE CREAM?
I ONLY ATE
HALF MY NOODLES.
HOW'D YOU GET
SO SMART‐ALECKY, HUH?
DID YOU GET THAT
FROM ME?
CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM.
NO, THEO,
IT'S TOO LATE.
CHOCOLATE WILL JUST
KEEP YOU AWAKE.
'NILLA?
THEO.
HEY, GET A ROOM, HUH?
I GOT CHILDREN HERE.
MIND YOUR OWN
BUSINESS.
IT IS MY BUSINESS,
THE TWO OF YOU
SLOBBERING UP THE STREET.
PISS OFF.
PISS OFF.
HEY.
NO, YOU DON'T EVER
SAY THAT, ALL RIGHT?
DON'T YOU TALK
LIKE THAT.
SHE SAID IT.
WELL, THAT DOESN'T
MAKE IT RIGHT.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE
SAY BAD THINGS, OKAY?
OKAY?
WHY DO PEOPLE KISS?
'CAUSE THEY LOVE
EACH OTHER.
LIKE YOU LOVE ME?
THAT'S RIGHT.
THEY KISSED CLOSE.
WELL, THAT'S
A BOY‐AND‐A‐GIRL KISS.
IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT,
BUT IT'S STILL
OUT OF LOVE.
DO YOU LOVE AUNT KATIE?
OF COURSE I DO.
WHY DON'T YOU
KISS HER?
WELL...
COME ON,
LET'S GET SOME ICE CREAM.
CHOCOLATE?
OKAY, CHOCOLATE.
A SLEEPWALKER,
BUT I'M GOING TO TAKE
MY CHANCES.
LINDA, HI.
THANKS FOR COMING.
YOU SOUNDED LIKE
YOU NEEDED COMPANY.
SORRY TO CALL YOU

I'VE BEEN HAVING
A TOUGH TIME.
WHEN FRANK GOT KILLED,
THE SURVIVORS NETWORK
SAVED MY LIFE.
FIRST TWO MONTHS,
JEANNIE O'MALLEY
BABYSAT ME EVERY NIGHT
TILL MIDNIGHT.
THE LEAST I CAN DO
IS HAVE BREAKFAST.

WHERE DO I START?
ANY PLACE YOU WANT.
I'VE BEEN SLEEPING
WITH SOMEONE.
THAT'S GOOD, DIANE.
GOOD? HOW?
THAT I HAD BOBBY'S LOVE
AND I VIOLATED IT?
'CAUSE I MISS
BEING TOUCHED,
SO I LET SOMEONE ELSE
TOUCH ME?
'CAUSE I'M TRYING TO LIVE,
AND IT'S MAKING ME
A WRECK?
IT'S GOOD, BECAUSE
BEING NUMB IS WORSE.
YEAH, WELL,
I ENDED IT.
AND DO YOU FEEL BETTER?
NO.
I'M UP ALL NIGHT.
I CAN'T STOP CRYING,
THINKING OF BOBBY.
I FEEL AWFUL, WHAT I'M
PUTTING THIS GUY THROUGH.
HE'S A GOOD GUY.
DID YOU BREAK IT OFF
WITH THIS GUY
'CAUSE OF THIS GUY
OR 'CAUSE OF BOBBY?
I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE BOTH.
HE A FRIEND BEFORE
HE WAS YOUR BOYFRIEND?
YEAH.
SO, BE GRATEFUL TO HIM.
AND IF YOU WANT, MOVE ON.
THAT'S LIFE.
IT'S BOBBY THAT'S GONE.
YOU'RE STILL HERE.
JEEZ.
WHAT A HORRIBLE SMELL.
ALREADY GETTING RIPE.
MUST BE DEAD A WEEK.
ANDY SIPOWICZ.
AS I LIVE AND BREATHE.
JOE FALOONA,
DANNY SORENSON.
HEY, DANNY.
YEAH, HI.
HOW CAN YOU EAT
WITH THAT SMELL?
IT'S BREAKFAST ‐‐
FRIED EGG AND BACON.
I'VE BEEN HERE
A COUPLE HOURS, ANDY.
A COUPLE OF DOCKWORKERS
FOUND THIS THING BANGING
AGAINST THE PYLONS,
BROKE IT OPEN,
AND BOOM ‐‐ FLOATER.
A FLOATER
AND A HALF.
50‐ish, MALE CAUCASIAN.
LOOKS LIKE A LARGE‐CALIBER
BULLET WOUND TO THE HEAD.
I'D BET HE WENT
300 POUNDS.
THAT'S BEFORE HE SOPPED UP
HALF THE EAST RIVER.
WHAT'S THAT ON HIS SHOULDER,
A BIRTHMARK?
I MAKE THAT OUT TO BE
SOME KIND OF WACK TATTOO,
MAYBE LIKE A DOG
OR A PIG.
THE DIVERS
MADE A SEARCH?
DIVERS' BOAT'S
ON THE WAY.
OKAY, JOE, THANKS.
NOTHING MUCH TO CANVASS
EXCEPT FOR SEA GULLS.
WHAT ABOUT THOSE DOCK HANDS
WHO FOUND THIS?
GREG'S TALKING
TO THEM NOW.
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THEY'RE
GOING TO BE MUCH HELP.
WHAT'D I MISS?
A FLOATER.
HE COME UP IN A BARREL.
YEAH, I HEARD.
OH. THEN YOU'RE
UP TO DATE.
SO WHAT DO WE
MAKE OF THIS?
LOOKS PRETTY CHEWED UP.
THE BAD GUYS PUNCHED HOLES
TO KEEP IT DOWN,
BUT CARDBOARD FLOODS
WHEN IT GETS WET,
SO ALL THE HOLES
CLOSED UP.
D.O.A.'s BODY GASSES MUST HAVE
POPPED IT UP TO THE SURFACE.
THINK IT'S A MOB HIT?
NOT LIKE MOB GUYS GOT
SPECIAL DEGREES
IN WATER ABSORPTION.
I'M GOING TO GIVE GREG
A HAND.
I'M GOING TO GET THE CAMERA,
TAKE SOME PHOTOS.
I THOUGHT THINGS
WERE OKAY WITH THAT.
THAT WAS THEN.
LOOK, SHE'S GOT A LOT
ON HER PLATE.
MAYBE SHE STILL NEEDS ROOM
TO SORT THROUGH IT ALL.
I'M NOT CROWDING HER,
ANDY.
MAYBE IT'S NOT
ABOUT YOU.
YEAH. I GUESS I WISH
IT WAS.
YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT.
THANKS.
TENTATIVE I. D.

NASSAU COUNTY MISSING PERSONS
DIDN'T PUT THIS TOGETHER?
MISSING PERSONS.
WITH ALL THE DEADWOOD

WHAT'S YOUR FRIEND'S NAME?
TRISTAN.
DON'T BELONG
TO HIM, EITHER.
FRICKIN' GUY.
YEAH, CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE
AGAIN, HUH, ANGELO?
WHERE'S THE CAR NOW?
I DON'T KNOW.
HOW LONG YOU BEEN
WORKING HERE?
TWO YEARS.
MY FATHER‐IN‐LAW
OWNS THE PLACE.
YOU WANT TO GET CUFFED
AND HAULED OUT
IN FRONT
OF YOUR RELATIONS?
NOT IF I
CAN HELP IT.
BLACK MERCEDES
AND HOW YOU GOT IT,
AND IT BETTER JIBE.
TRISTAN GIBBS.
I DONE BUSINESS
WITH HIM BEFORE.
APPROACHES ME,
WILL I SHRED THIS CAR OF HIS

I SAY, "YEAH,
NO PROBLEM."
I COME HOME FROM WORK,
THERE'S A $100,000
MERCEDES OUT FRONT.
IT'S GOT NINE ALARM SYSTEMS,
HOOKED UP TO SATELLITE
AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
I CAN'T TOUCH THAT.
SO I TRY LEAVING MESSAGES

I DON'T KNOW NOTHING

TO IVAN'S WORK ‐‐
BETTER PROTECTS FAMILY.

IT'S A DIGITAL WORLD NOW.
YOU WON'T HAVE TO
WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN.
BEING IT'S ALL IN THERE.

WHERE WOULD I GET
A FINE RIDE LIKE THAT?
THEM $8 INCLUDE YOUR
ALTERNATE SOURCES OF INCOME?
SEE, WE ALREADY GOT ANGELO,
WHO GAVE YOU UP
AS WHO PASSED HIM
THAT BLACK MERCEDES.
THE THING IS,
WHEN YOU SAY "HAVE,"
I INTERPRET IT AS "OWN."
NOW I SEE YOU SAY "HAVE"
AS IN "IN MY POSSESSION."
TRISTAN'S A REAL STICKLER
FOR WORDS,
LIKE OUR FORMER PRESIDENT.
TRISTAN, WE GOT YOU BRINGING
ANGELO THE BLACK MERCEDES.
THE OWNER
HASN'T BEEN SEEN SINCE
AND HE TURNS UP DEAD.
THAT'S ENOUGH TO LOCK YOU UP
FOR MURDER RIGHT NOW.
THE DEVIL YOU SAY!
I DIDN'T KILL NO ONE!
WELL, WE'LL JUST LET THE COURTS
SORT THAT ONE OUT.
MEANTIME,
WE'LL RING YOUR P. O.
I WASN'T ‐‐ I JUST PASSED
THE RIDE ON TO ANGELO
FOR A FRIEND.
WHO'S THE FRIEND?
WE CAN EITHER
CALL YOUR P. O.,
HAVE YOU VIOLATED, AND YOU GO
STRAIGHT TO RIKER'S,
OR ON THE OFF CHANCE
YOU DIDN'T KILL THIS GUY,
YOU CAN COOPERATE,
AND WE CAN PRETEND
WE LOST HIS NUMBER.
I TOLD HIM,
I TOLD THAT RASCAL THAT.
I HELP HIM,
BUT I DON'T TAKE THE HEAT.
YOU TELL VERNON
WHEN HE ‐‐
I'M NO RAT.
VERNON GOT A LAST NAME?
McGEE. HAVEN'T SPOKE TO HIM
FOR FIVE YEARS.
CALL ME OUT OF THE BLUE,
SAY CAN I GET THE CAR
SHREDDED?
ALL RIGHT,
HOW ABOUT WE START AT THE TOP?
VERNON SAY TO MEET HIM
IN GREAT NECK WITH MY TRUCK.
HE'D THROW ME A GRAND.
TAKE ME TO THE CELL,
I SEE THIS GREAT WHITE WHALE
WITH BRAINS OUT ON THE CARPET.
I DON'T ASK NO QUESTIONS.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BODY?
HELP VERNON STUFF IT
IN A BARREL.
TOOK IT TO THE RIVER.
YOU JUST HAPPENED
TO HAVE A BARREL?
BROOKLYN‐STYLE JAMAICANS USE
TO SEND GOODIES BACK
TO THE ISLANDS.
A GUY CALLS YOU HADN'T SPOKEN TO
IN FIVE YEARS,
HE'S SITTING ON A DEAD BODY,
YOU DON'T KNOW
WHO'S COMING HOME,
AND YOU STAY TO HELP?
WHEN I WAS INCARCERATED,
VERNON DROP OFF GROCERIES
FOR MY POOR SICK MOTHER.
AND I NEEDED THE CASH.
WHERE WE FIND VERNON?
Man: POLICE ‐‐ FREEZE!
POLICE ‐‐ FREEZE!
FREEZE!
POLICE!
ANYBODY HERE?
[ SPEAKS CHINESE ]
NO ONE HERE, GREG.
SHE'S GONE.
OH, GOD.
IT'S THE GIRL'S DRESS
COVERED IN BLOOD.
IT'S A MESSAGE FOR THE FAMILY.
THEY MEAN BUSINESS.
[ METAL CLINKS ]
[ SHOUTS IN CHINESE ]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
IN THERE?
[ SPEAKING CHINESE ]
HE'S JUST SOME GUY THEY PAID
TO PLANT THE DRESS.
[ SPEAKS CHINESE ]
[ SPEAKS CHINESE ]
HE WON'T TELL. HE'S AFRAID
OF THE SNAKEHEADS.
CUFF HIM,
BRING HIM TO THE HOUSE.
SECURE THE APARTMENT
UNTIL CRIME SCENE GETS HERE
TO DUST FOR PRINTS.
EVEN WHEN YOU GET A LIFT,
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET A MATCH.
ALL THESE GUYS ARE ILLEGAL.
I KNOW THAT, HAROLD. WHERE ARE
WE GOING TO FIND THIS GIRL?
WE GO TO THE RESTAURANT.
RIGHT.
THE SNAKEHEADS CALL BACK,
WE TRAP THE CALL.
YOU THINK SHE'S DEAD.
I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT I'M AFRAID ‐‐
SHE MIGHT WISH SHE WAS.
I'M A RESPECTABLE CITIZEN NOW.
WHAT'D YOU ALL
HAUL ME IN HERE FOR?
TELL US WHY YOU THINK
WE HAULED YOU IN HERE.
'CAUSE I GOT A RECORD,
YOU THINK
I DID SOMETHING I AIN'T.
AIN'T YOU KNOW SOMEONE
NAMED IVAN VOSTROPOVILICH?
LANDSCAPE COMPANY
THAT I WORK WITH
DID SOME WORK
IN THE MAN'S YARD.
YOU EVER BEEN
IN HIS BLACK MERCEDES?
ONCE.
LEFT IT BLOCKING THE TRUCK.
BOSS ASKED ME TO MOVE IT.
VERNON, WHERE WERE YOU
LAST THURSDAY NIGHT?
LIKE EVERY NIGHT ‐‐
ON MY ROOFTOP WORKING OUT,
KEEPING IN SHAPE.
YOU SURE YOU WEREN'T
OUT HITTING GOLF BALLS?
ANYONE HAPPEN
TO SEE YOU UP THERE?
NO. COUPLE OF PIGEONS.
DON'T MAKE FOR A GREAT ALIBI.
WHAT DO I NEED AN ALIBI FOR?
YOU TRIED TO ROB HIM
AND HE FOUGHT BACK, HUH?
YOU KILLED THIS GUY
AND YOU TOOK HIS CAR.
YOU GOT A BARREL AND YOU
DUMPED HIS BODY IN THE RIVER.
IT WASN'T ME.
I DIDN'T KILL NOBODY,
I SWEAR TO GOD.
LIKE YOU DIDN'T STAB YOUR
GIRLFRIEND EIGHT YEARS AGO.
I DID TIME FOR THAT.
I CHANGED MY LIFE SINCE THEN.
I GUESS WE BETTER
LET HIM GO.
GIVE IT UP, VERNON.
I ‐‐ MAN ‐‐
YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND,
ALL RIGHT?
THIS WASN'T HER FAULT.
SHE JUST COULDN'T TAKE NO MORE.
WHO'S SHE?
GENIA, HIS WIFE.
THURSDAY NIGHT ABOUT 11:00,
SHE CALLED
AND SHE SAID
SHE'D FINALLY DONE IT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IVAN.
COMES HOME DRUNK AS A SKUNK,
SMACKING HER AROUND
LIKE ALWAYS.
SHE FOUND HIS .45
AND SHE SHOT HIM,
AND THAT HAS GOT TO BE
SELF‐DEFENSE.
WHO ARE YOU,
F. LEE BAILEY?
SELF‐DEFENSE?
WHY DIDN'T SHE CALL THE COPS?
WHERE SHE'S FROM,
YOU DON'T CALL THE COPS.
SO SHE PHONES THE GARDENER.
ALL RIGHT.
I'M NOT GOING TO LIE TO YOU.
ME AND GENIA...
WE'RE IN LOVE.
YOU'RE SAYING YOU WERE
BANGING IVAN'S WIFE?
I'M SAYING THAT WE'RE IN LOVE.
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
ALL RIGHT, LOOK.
YOU GO TALK TO HER, ALL RIGHT?
TELL HER THAT VERNON SAID
THAT IT WAS ALL RIGHT
TO TELL THE TRUTH
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
SHE TELL THE TRUTH
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED,
EVERYTHING HERE
IS GOING TO BE OKAY.
Andy: AHEM.
WHAT'S UP?
THIS VERNON McGEE
THAT WE BROUGHT IN,
HE SAYS THAT HIM
AND MRS. KHRUSHCHEV ARE AN ITEM
AND THAT SHE KILLED HER HUSBAND
OFF OF GETTING SICK
OF BEING HIT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IVGENIA?
SAYS THAT THE TWO OF THEM
ARE IN LOVE.
YOU MET HER. ANY CHANCE
HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH?
HE MAY BE IN LOVE,
BUT NO WAY IN HELL SHE IS.
THIS WOMAN,
SHE'S ACROSS‐THE‐BOARD RACIST.
AND WE KNOW THIS HOW?
I JUST SPENT HALF THE DAY
WITH HER.
SHE SEEM
LIKE A RACIST TO YOU?
I CAN'T SAY
I PICKED THAT UP.
YEAH, WELL, I DID.
COME ON, WHY DON'T YOU
TALK TO HIM?
WHAT, YOU GOT TO BRING IN
A BROTHER?
I'M DETECTIVE JONES,
VERNON.
WHY DON'T YOU TELL US
HOW YOU TWO MET?
I WAS WORKING IN THE YARD
OUT AT HER PLACE.
GENIA COMES OVER,
STARTS UP A CONVERSATION ‐‐
SPORTS, WEATHER.
THE USUAL STUFF.
RIGHT.
SO, AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS,
WE'RE HITTING IT OFF.
HER HUSBAND GOES BACK AND FORTH
TO RUSSIA ALL THE TIME.
ME AND HER,
WE BOTH LIKE R&B
AND ITALIAN FOOD,
SO WE JUST START
SEEING EACH OTHER.
BEING THE HUSBAND'S
OUT OF TOWN.
YEAH. HE TREATED HER
LIKE AN ANIMAL.
HE BEAT HER,
HE CALLED HER NAMES
LIKE "PIG" AND "SLUT."
GENIA,
SHE TREATED ME RIGHT.
SHE GAVE ME MONEY,
NICE ROLEX.
LET'S GET TO WHAT HAPPENED.
SHE HAD TO DO IT.
HE WOULD HAVE KILLED HER
SOMEDAY.
SO SHE SHOT HIM.
SHE CALLED ME UP,
ASKED ME FOR HELP
TO GET RID OF THE BODY,
SHRED THE CAR,
JUST MAKE IT LOOK LIKE
IT WENT DOWN SOMEPLACE ELSE.
WHY NOT
JUST CALL THE COPS?
LIKE I WAS SAYING,
RUSSIAN PEOPLE ARE
SCARED TO DEATH OF COPS.
THEM IS WHO TAKE YOU AWAY
TO SIBERIA.
MAKE SURE ‐‐
TELL HER I SAID
IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY.
WE'RE DONE. THANKS.
UNBELIEVABLE.
STORY LIKE THAT.
WHO WOULD MAKE THAT UP?
MAYBE THE TWO OF THEM
DID IT TOGETHER.
MAYBE SHE DID DO IT
AND SHE'D BEEN
SETTING THIS GUY UP.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT
I'M THINKING.
THERE'S JUST THE WOMAN
I WANTED TO SEE. COUNSELOR.
WE NEED A SUBPOENA
FOR A PHONE DUMP
ON THE WIFE
OF THAT, UH, FLOATER.
I THOUGHT WE HAD A CASE
ON WHAT'S HIS NAME ‐‐ McGEE.
WELL, HE SAYS IT WAS
THE WIFE THAT KILLED HIM.
ANYTHING BACKING THAT UP?
HE SOUNDED PRETTY CREDIBLE.
I'LL GET YOUR SUBPOENA.
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GET.
CAN WE TALK?
LATER.
SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING,
IF SOMEONE GIVES YOU
A COMPLIMENT,
IT'S NOT POLITE
TO SAY XIE‐XIE.
NO. IT'S NOT HUMBLE.
YOU SAY XIE‐XIE WHEN SOMEONE
DO SOMETHING FOR YOU.
SO WHEN SOMEONE SAYS XIE‐XIE
BECAUSE YOU DONE SOMETHING
FOR THEM,
THE POLITE RESPONSE TO THAT
IS DON'T BE POLITE.
BINGO.
THAT'S NOT A LANGUAGE.
IT'S A CODE.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
YES?
YEAH, ONE SPECIAL,
THREE FLAVOR LO MEIN,
ONE BOK CHOY.

XIE‐XIE...
DETECTIVE ANDY SIPOWICZ.
THANKS FOR COMING IN.
I WANT TO HELP.
DANNY SORENSON.
DETECTIVES RUSSELL AND JONES
I THINK YOU'VE ALREADY MET.
YES, THANK YOU.
ALEXI SLAKOV, ATTORNEY
FOR MRS. VOSTROPOVILICH.
SOME REASON SHE THINKS
SHE NEEDS A LAWYER?
WORRIED HER POOR ENGLISH MIGHT
HINDER THE INVESTIGATION.
HER ENGLISH IS JUST FINE.
WE JUST HAVE
A FEW QUESTIONS.
THE NIGHT BEFORE YOU FLEW
TO ORLANDO,
YOU CANCELED
IVAN'S PLANE TICKET.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?
PART OF THE INVESTIGATION.
WE LOOKED AT CALLS,
INCOMING AND OUTGOING,
FROM THE HOME
OF THE DECEASED.
WE HAD A SUBPOENA.
I CANCELED, IT'S TRUE.
YET YOU TOLD
DETECTIVE JONES AND ME
YOU WERE HOPING IVAN WOULD
MEET YOU AT THE AIRPORT.
I WAS ANGRY.
I THOUGHT HE MIGHT BE
WITH ANOTHER WOMAN,
MAYBE LEAVE ME.
I DIDN'T WANT TO ADMIT.
THAT EXPLAIN WHY YOU CALLED
F&G CARPET
MORNING BEFORE YOU LEFT
AND ASKED THEM TO REPLACE
THE CARPET IN YOUR BASEMENT?
THE MAN SAYS
WHEN THEY GOT TO YOUR HOUSE,
THEY FOUND A 6‐FOOT PIECE
CUT FROM IT.
IT'S TRUE.
OKAY, THE TRUE STORY.
I AM HAVING AFFAIR WITH MAN.
THIS MAN GOT A NAME?
VERNON McGEE.
HE'S DONE SOME WORK AROUND
MY HOUSE AND THE GARDEN.
YOUR HUSBAND KNOW
ABOUT THIS?
NOT FOR SURE
TILL HE CAME BACK HOME
THE NIGHT BEFORE
WE GO TO DISNEY WORLD.
HE FOUND OUT THEN?
IVAN CAME IN
ON VERNON AND ME,
GOT THIS LOOK IN THE EYE
LIKE A MAD BULL,
START TO BELLOW.
SAYS HE CANNOT BELIEVE I SLEEP
WITH THIS OBEZHIANA.
MONKEY.
PLEASE EXCUSE MY LANGUAGE.
HE START TO HIT ME.
WHAT DID VERNON DO?
TRIES AND STOP HIM.
THEY STRUGGLE,
BUT IVAN WAS TOO ANGRY,
SO VERNON GOES
TO THE KITCHEN,
GETS IVAN GUN,
AND SHOOT HIM.
THANKS GOD.
NO MORE HITTING.
WHY DIDN'T YOU
CALL THE POLICE?
IN RUSSIA,
POLICE SHOOT FIRST.
I WAS AFRAID
VERNON GO TO JAIL.
I KNOW HE HAS
A CRIMINAL RECORD.
ARE WE FINISHED?
WE'D APPRECIATE
YOUR STICKING AROUND
FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES
WHILE WE SORT THIS OUT.
OF COURSE.
TRUTH IS, EVIDENCE COULD POINT
IN EITHER DIRECTION
OR TO THEM DOING IT
TOGETHER.
HE SAID, SHE SAID.
SHE'S THE ONE
WHO'S LYING.
YOU KNOW FOR A FACT?
I CAN'T PUT YOU ON THE STAND
SAYING YOU GOT A GUT INSTINCT.
TERESA,
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
ON THE MERITS, I GOT
A BETTER SHOT AGAINST VERNON.
'CAUSE HE'S A BLACK MAN
WITH A RECORD
AND SHE'S A RICH
WHITE WOMAN?
IT'S NOT OFF BLACK AND WHITE.
I KNOW WHAT A JURY
IS GOING TO THINK.
THAT'S ALL IT'S ABOUT?
I KNOW THIS GUY
THINKS THEY WERE IN LOVE,
BUT THEY WEREN'T,
'CAUSE THAT WOMAN
IS A RACIST.
THE ONLY REASON SHE'D BE
WITH HIM IS SHE SET HIM UP.
NOT A CLEVER PLAN,
TYING HER HUSBAND'S MURDER
TO A MAN
SHE'S HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH.
MAYBE HE WAS
LIKE A CONTINGENCY,
IN CASE THE MURDER
CAME BACK TO HER.
SHE CANCELED HIS FLIGHT
THE NIGHT HE WAS KILLED.
NEXT MORNING SHE CALLS
TO REPLACE THE CARPET.
SHE EXPLAINS ALL THAT ‐‐
COVERING FOR VERNON.
THAT JAMAICAN GUY IS YOUR
ONLY INDEPENDENT WITNESS.
HE TIES THE BODY TO VERNON.
VERNON SAYS SHE CALLED AT 11:00
FOR HIM TO COME HELP.
PHONE RECORDS SHOW A CALL
TO VERNON'S HOUSE AT 11:00.
DID YOU ASK HER ABOUT IT?
DID YOU TELL HER
THAT VERNON SAID SHE DID IT?
IF WE DID THAT
WITH HER LAWYER IN THE ROOM,
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE END
OF THE CONVERSATION.
LOOK, MY JOB IS
EVALUATING THE EVIDENCE,
AND IT'S MY OPINION
THAT WE SHOULD MOVE ON VERNON.
THAT'S NOT YOUR CALL,
COUNSELOR.
OUR JOB IS WE ARREST
WHO WE THINK DID IT.
YOU AT THE D. A.'s OFFICE, YOU DO
WHATEVER YOU WANT AFTER THAT.
MEANING WHAT?
I GO WITH THIS GUY.
YOU ARREST THE WIFE,
IT'S GOING TO WEAKEN
MY CASE AGAINST VERNON.
THAT'S ASSUMING YOU CAN FIND
SOMEONE ELSE TO ARREST HIM
'CAUSE WE'RE ARRESTING THE WIFE.
DO WE EVEN KNOW VERNON'S WILLING
TO TESTIFY AGAINST HER
IF THEY'RE SO IN LOVE?
BECAUSE WITHOUT HIM,
WE'RE SCREWED.
WELL, I COULD FIND OUT.
IVGENIA TOLD US IT WAS YOU
THAT SHOT IVAN.
WHAT?
SHE SAYS YOU DID IT,
VERNON.
OH, NO, NO.
SHE ‐‐ SHE WOULDN'T
DO THAT, MAN.
WE'RE IN LOVE.
LOOK, VERNON,
YOU WORKED THERE.
SHE COMES ON TO YOU,
SHE GIVES YOU MONEY,
BUYS YOU A WATCH.
I DIDN'T KILL HIM.
SHE ASKED ME TO.
I TOLD HER NO.
IT'S YOU GETS RID
OF THE BODY,
IT'S YOU GETS RID
OF THE CAR.
NOW, WHOSE IDEA WAS IT
GETTING RID OF THE CAR?
HERS.
IT'S THE CAR
WE TRACED YOU THROUGH.
HOW'S IT GOING TO LOOK?
YOU'RE SAYING
SHE SET ME UP?
IN CASE HIS DYING
CAME BACK TO HER,
SHE COULD PIN IT ON YOU.
SHE'S SAYING
THAT I KILLED HIM?
IN THE OTHER ROOM RIGHT NOW
WITH HER FANCY LAWYER.
OH, GOD.
HOW STUPID COULD I BE?
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU THINK
WITH YOUR LITTLE HEAD.
NOW, YOU OR HER ‐‐
ONE OF YOU
IS GETTING CHARGED.
THE OTHER GETS TO WALK
FOR TESTIFYING.
THE D. A.'s JUST AS HAPPY IT'S
HER TESTIFYING AGAINST YOU,
BUT WE'RE HOPING IT'S YOU
TESTIFYING AGAINST HER.
I DIDN'T KILL HIM.
THERE YOU GO.
COUNSELOR, WE'RE PLACING
YOUR CLIENT UNDER ARREST.
ON WHAT CHARGE?
THE MURDER
OF HER HUSBAND.
THAT ANIMAL TELL YOU
I KILL IVAN?
THAT LYING BABOON?
Andy: ARE YOU REFERRING
TO VERNON?
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO SPEAK WITH AN ATTORNEY.
I AM HER ATTORNEY.
THIS IS AMERICA.
ANIMAL STICK UP FOR ANIMAL!
Andy: YOU'LL PROBABLY MAKE
NIGHT COURT.
YOUR ATTORNEY
CAN SEE YOU THERE.
PLEASE GET UP.
YOU TOO.
GET IN THE CAGE, PLEASE.
Alexi: DON'T SAY ANY MORE
UNTIL I NOTIFY YOU OTHERWISE.
THEM RUSSKIES, HUH?
NOT MAJOR SUPPORTERS
OF THE RAINBOW COALITION.
WHAT, DO YOU MEAN LIKE ITALIANS
OR IRISH OR, UH, POLES?
HEY, DID I DO SOMETHING?
NO, JUST MAKING A POINT.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS
FOR BACKING ME UP IN THERE.
IT SO HAPPENED
I AGREED IT WAS THE WIFE.
YEAH, WELL, JUST THE SAME,
I APPRECIATE IT.
YEAH. GOOD NIGHT.
NIGHT, ANDY.
GOOD NIGHT.
HEY, PARTNER.
HEARD YOU HAD
A BIG DAY TODAY.
YEAH.

OVER TO MATT FOR A DRINK.
YOU WANT TO COME?
HAROLD'S FAMOUS
TELLING STORIES.
YEAH, WHY NOT?
RIGHT.
UH, I'M DETECTIVE MEDAVOY.
ARE YOU SURE
THAT'S FOR ME?
DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ
DIDN'T WANT IT.
YOU'RE THE NEXT
SENIOR DETECTIVE.
HUH. YEAH, I‐I GUESS I AM.
HEY, YOU NEED ANY HELP
WITH IT,
JUST GIVE ME A CALL.
YEAH, THAT'S, UH,
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA, UH, TRISH.
I JUST MIGHT TAKE YOU UP
ON THAT.
WE, UH, READY TO GO?
OKAY I MEET YOU THERE?
SURE.
BLACK MAN MAKES
FOR A BETTER DEFENDANT.
THAT'S, UH,
THAT'S PRETTY CYNICAL.
YOU COME IN HERE
TO TELL ME OFF?
I JUST THOUGHT
WE COULD TALK ABOUT IT.
WHAT'S TO TALK ABOUT?
YOU STAND HERE AND TELL ME
100% FOR CERTAIN
HE DIDN'T DO IT.
I DON'T THINK HE DID.
YOU DON'T THINK SO?
AND YOU'RE INSULTED 'CAUSE
I DIDN'T GO ALONG WITH THAT?
I'M INSULTED ‐‐
I'M INSULTED HOW IT SEEMS
LIKE YOU'RE MORE INTERESTED
IN WHO'S EASIER TO PUT AWAY
THAN WHO DID IT.
DON'T WE HAVE ENOUGH
LIKE THAT?
SAYING BECAUSE I'M BLACK,
I SHOULD DO THINGS DIFFERENT?
YEAH, I GUESS MAYBE
THAT IS WHAT I'M SAYING.
YOU GOT YOUR WAY HERE,
BALDWIN.
I DON'T KNOW WHY
YOU'RE COMPLAINING.
WELL, THAT'S ME.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT, DANNY.
HEY.
HEY.
UM...
YOU GOT A MINUTE
FOR ME NOW?
SURE.
DANNY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M FINE, DIANE.
IF I HURT YOU, I CAN'T
TELL YOU HOW SORRY I AM.
DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR ME.
I'M A BIG BOY.
OKAY, HOW ABOUT
I JUST SAY THANKS?
YOU BEING THERE FOR ME.
THAT IT?
DANNY, DON'T
BE ANGRY AT ME.
I'LL GET OVER IT.
WILL YOU
TALK TO ME, PLEASE?
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME
TO SAY, DIANE?
OH, BOOHOO?
I LOVE YOU, DON'T LEAVE ME?
I DON'T BEG.
NO ONE'S LOOKING
FOR YOU TO BEG.
IT COULD BE
I WASN'T READY.
IT COULD BE
I SHOULD HAVE WAITED.
COULD BE YOU SHOULD HAVE
GIVEN US HALF A CHANCE.
DANNY...
[ SIGHS ]
IT WASN'T GOING TO WORK,
LONG TERM.
IF I STAYED WITH YOU
KNOWING THAT,
WE'D HAVE LOST
OUR FRIENDSHIP, TOO,
AND I COULDN'T
HANDLE THAT.
YEAH, OKAY.
YOU HELPED ME
COME ALIVE AGAIN.
I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
FOR THAT.
THEO, YOU ONLY ATE
HALF YOUR NOODLES.
HOW YOU GOT ROOM
FOR AN ICE CREAM?
I ONLY ATE
HALF MY NOODLES.
HOW'D YOU GET
SO SMART‐ALECKY, HUH?
DID YOU GET THAT
FROM ME?
CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM.
NO, THEO,
IT'S TOO LATE.
CHOCOLATE WILL JUST
KEEP YOU AWAKE.
'NILLA?
THEO.
HEY, GET A ROOM, HUH?
I GOT CHILDREN HERE.
MIND YOUR OWN
BUSINESS.
IT IS MY BUSINESS,
THE TWO OF YOU
SLOBBERING UP THE STREET.
PISS OFF.
PISS OFF.
HEY.
NO, YOU DON'T EVER
SAY THAT, ALL RIGHT?
DON'T YOU TALK
LIKE THAT.
SHE SAID IT.
WELL, THAT DOESN'T
MAKE IT RIGHT.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE
SAY BAD THINGS, OKAY?
OKAY?
WHY DO PEOPLE KISS?
'CAUSE THEY LOVE
EACH OTHER.
LIKE YOU LOVE ME?
THAT'S RIGHT.
THEY KISSED CLOSE.
WELL, THAT'S
A BOY‐AND‐A‐GIRL KISS.
IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT,
BUT IT'S STILL
OUT OF LOVE.
DO YOU LOVE AUNT KATIE?
OF COURSE I DO.
WHY DON'T YOU
KISS HER?
WELL...
COME ON,
LET'S GET SOME ICE CREAM.
CHOCOLATE?
OKAY, CHOCOLATE.
