NYPD Blue (1993–2005): Season 9, Episode 19 - Low Blow - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY ON NYPD BLUE...

I HEAR YOU’RE FIGHTING LAUGHLIN
IN THE SMOKER.

IT’S NO BIG DEAL.

SOMEONE STANDING UP FOR ME ‐‐
THAT’S A BIG DEAL.

TOMMY HACKETT,
WHO ORGANIZED THE SMOKERS ‐‐

HE WAS GIVING ME A HARD TIME ‐‐
IT’S NOT FOR GRUDGE MATCHES.

SO I TOLD HIM ME AND YOU,
IT’S GONNA BE GOOD FUN, RIGHT?

NOTHING BUT.

LISTEN, I’M GONNA BE PUTTING IN
FOR SOME VACATION TIME.

WHERE YOU GOING?

I’M GONNA TAKE THEO
TO DISNEY WORLD.



HE’S GONNA LOVE THAT.

SINCE HE’S BEEN SPENDING
A LOT OF TIME WITH CONNIE,

HE WANTS HER TO GO, TOO.

I FIGURED YOU GUYS
MIGHT GET HUNGRY.

THAT’S NOT PART
OF THE DIET PLAN, RITA.

LET HIM HAVE A SLICE.

MAYBE LATER,
IF HE EARNS IT.

YOU TREAT HIM RIGHT
OR DEAL WITH ME.

HE’LL LIVE.
DON’T WORRY.

THANKS FOR
BRINGING THAT BY.

NO PROBLEM.

THAT WAS NICE OF HER.

YEAH.

HEY, HACKETT.
EVERYTHING SET FOR TONIGHT?



GOT A MINUTE, JOHN?

SURE. WANNA SIT?

WORD GOT AROUND THAT THE MATCHUP
WITH YOU AND LAUGHLIN

IS OVER A GRUDGE.

WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT?

IT DOESN’T MATTER. WHAT DOES
IS IT GOT TO THE CAPTAIN.

IT DOESN’T MEAN IT’S NOT GONNA
BE A CLEAN FIGHT.

CLARK, YOU AND LAUGHLIN
ARE OFF THE CARD.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

THE CAPTAIN PUTS
A LOT OF WORK INTO THIS,

GETTING THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED,
DRUMMING UP CORPORATE SPONSORS.

HE DOESN’T WANT IT TO BE ABOUT
APES LOOKING TO KILL EACH OTHER.

LET ME TALK TO HIM.
IT’S A DONE DEAL.

I’VE BEEN TRAINING
MY ASS OFF.

WHICH YOU AND LAUGHLIN SHOULD
HAVE BEEN DOING MORE OF

INSTEAD OF RUNNING
YOUR MOUTHS.

EITHER WAY,
I’M SORRY, CLARK.

JUST LET LAUGHLIN KNOW
IT’S COMING FROM THE CAPTAIN

AND NOT ME BACKING OUT.

IT’S ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF.

YOU OUT OF THE SMOKER?

THE CAPTAIN HEARD
IT WAS A GRUDGE MATCH.

LAUGHLIN’S BIG MOUTH.

15th SQUAD.

HE’S OUT OF THE SMOKER.

THAT SUCKS.

NO KIDDING.

WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE,

I WANT TO GO OVER
SOME FLIGHTS TO ORLANDO.

WE GOT A RAPE AT BELLEVUE.

I’M UP.

WE JUST DIDN’T NEED
THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWING.

I THOUGHT
JOHN ALREADY KNEW.

GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY.

GOOD MORNING.
MORNING.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]
WE’LL TALK LATER.

MISS GRIFFIN, DETECTIVES
ANDY SIPOWICZ AND JOHN CLARK.

HI.

IF YOU’RE FEELING UP TO IT,
COULD YOU TELL US WHAT HAPPENED?

I WAS WALKING TO WORK.

HE JUST GRABBED ME
AND PULLED ME INTO THE ALLEY.

WHERE DO YOU WORK?

PLAYGROUND PUBLISHING.

WAS HE WHITE, BLACK?

WHITE.

DOES ANYTHING ABOUT HIM
STAND OUT?

[ Voice breaking ]
I DON’T KNOW.

DID YOU GET A LOOK
AT THE MAN’S FACE?

HE GRABBED ME AND DRAGGED ME
BEHIND A DUMPSTER.

HE PUT MY FACE TO THE GROUND
IN A PUDDLE OF WATER,

AND I WAS CHOKING.

I JUST DON’T KNOW.

DID HE COMPLETE
THE SEX ACT?

WE’LL TALK TO A DOCTOR
ABOUT DOING A RAPE KIT.

IN THE MEANTIME, GET SOME REST.
WE’LL BE IN TOUCH.

WHO’S TAKING THE 61
ON THIS CASE?

ME AND MY PARTNER.

MAKE SURE YOU GET
ALL HER INFORMATION.

SO, CLARK, YOU BACKED OUT
OF THE SMOKER?

THAT’S ON LAUGHLIN.

NO, I GET IT.
I MEAN, LAUGHLIN’S A BIG GUY.

HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?

WE’RE WORKING A RAPE CASE,
SO EXCUSE ME.

[ SCOFFS ]

[ CLUCKS ]

YOU WANNA REPEAT THAT?

FROG IN MY THROAT.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

COME ON.

I’M NOT TAKING THIS ALL DAY.

ANYTHING ON THE CANVAS?

NOTHING.

THE GUY PICKED A GOOD SPOT ‐‐

OUT OF SIGHT
OF THE NEARBY APARTMENTS,

AND THERE’S A CONSTRUCTION SITE
A BLOCK DOWN

THAT WOULD MASK ANY NOISE.

WE GOT A HIT ON RESIDENT
SEX OFFENDERS

IN THE VICTIM’S NEIGHBORHOOD.

A GUY WHO LIVES A BLOCK AWAY,
LLOYD ROGERS.

Clark: WHAT DID HE DO?

RAPE‐ASSAULT SEVEN YEARS AGO.
WE GOT HIM IN THE POKEY.

ALL RIGHT, TWO MINUTES
AND WE’LL TAKE HIM.

SO, YOU’RE OUT
OF THE SMOKER.

GUESS IT GOT AROUND.

BALDWIN FIND OUT?
HE AROUND?

HE KNOWS. HIM AND MEDAVOY
CAUGHT A DOA.

WELL, FOR EVERYONE HERE,
I DID NOT BACK OUT.

YOU WERE PULLED.
I HEARD IT FROM CAPTAIN KELLER.

BUT THERE IS SOME
OTHER CHATTER GOING ON.

ALL RIGHT,
ENOUGH OF THIS.

YOU GOT A MINUTE?

[ CLEARS THROAT ]
WE GOT THIS GUY IN THE POKEY.

HEY, WHEN YOU’RE OFF THE PHONE,
WE’RE IN THE COFFEE ROOM.

YEAH, THIS IS CLARK
UP IN THE SQUAD.

IS LAUGHLIN DOWN THERE?

NO, JUST TELL HIM TO COME UP
WHEN HE GETS IN.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]
SO, FLIGHTS?

YEAH.

I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE,
WHICH I THINK I’LL PASS ON.

BUT AS FAR AS BOOKING A FLIGHT
FOR MYSELF, ANDY,

I DON’T THINK I SHOULD.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WELL, I’M GETTING A SENSE
YOU’RE EMBARRASSED

BY HAVING ME COME
TO FLORIDA.

NO.

YOU WON’T TALK ABOUT IT.

AND THEN WHEN I TRY TO,

YOU HUSH ME IN FRONT OF PEOPLE
WHO ALREADY KNOW.

I JUST DON’T THINK
WE NEED TO BROADCAST IT.

YOU KNOW, GOSSIP IS LIKE
A SPORT AROUND HERE.

YOU REALIZE IF WE TAKE
THE SAME VACATION TIME,

PEOPLE ARE GONNA
FIGURE IT OUT.

THAT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE
THE CASE.

ANDY, I’M ‐‐

I’M JUST GETTING A STRONG SENSE
THIS ISN’T A GREAT IDEA.

IF YOU BACKED OUT,

I DON’T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND HOW
DISAPPOINTED THEO WOULD BE.

THE MINUTE THEO STEPS
ON HIS FIRST AIRPLANE,

HE’LL FORGET I’M NOT THERE.

NO, HE TALKS ABOUT YOU
ALL THE TIME ‐‐

THE RIDES HE WANTS
TO TAKE YOU ON.

THEO’S ONLY PART OF THE REASON
I AGREED TO GO.

LOOK, YOU GOT TO KNOW

IT’S GOT NOTHING TO DO
WITH BEING EMBARRASSED.

A GUY WOULD BE NUTS TO BE
EMBARRASSED BEING WITH YOU.

IT’S JUST THAT ‐‐

UH, IT’S MORE COMPLICATED
THAN THAT.

WELL, I DON’T WANT
TO COMPLICATE THINGS FOR YOU.

YEAH?

I’LL SEE YOU IN THE POKEY.

YEAH,
I’LL BE RIGHT IN THERE.

LOOK, CONNIE ‐‐

IT’S OFF,
AND IT’S FINE.

GO TALK TO YOUR SUSPECT.

[ SIGHS ]

THANKS.

YOU GOT IT.

SO?

WHERE WERE YOU
THIS MORNING, LLOYD?

ISN’T THAT MY BUSINESS?

HEY, YOU’RE A REGISTERED
SEX OFFENDER.

THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN TOLD.

WELL, YOU ARE.
SO YOUR BUSINESS IS OURS, TOO.

I WAS HOME, READING.

ANYONE WITH YOU?
NO.

YOU STEP OUT FOR AIR AT ALL?
NO.

YOU DIDN’T HAPPEN BY
AN ALLEY ON AVENUE D?

I WAS READING.

WHAT IF WE SAID THERE
WAS SOMEONE WHO SAW YOU

NEAR THAT ALLEY
THIS MORNING, LLOYD?

LOOK, IF YOU WERE NEAR
THE ALLEY, IT’S OKAY.

AS FAR AS WE KNOW, IT’S NOT
A CRIME BEING BY AN ALLEY.

I WAS HOME, READING.

THE RAPE YOU GOT LOCKED UP FOR,
TELL US ABOUT THAT.

IT WASN’T RAPE.
SHE WANTED IT.

SHE WANTED YOU
TO DO HER FACEDOWN

IN THE TRUNK OF YOUR CAR

AND THEN BREAK HER ARM
IN TWO PLACES?

SHE WANTED IT ROUGH.

THEN WHEN IT WENT THAT WAY,
SHE COULDN’T EXPLAIN IT.

IS THAT WHAT HAPPENED
IN THE ALLEY THIS MORNING?

I WASN’T NEAR ANY ALLEY.

EXPLAIN THE WITNESS.
IT WASN’T ME.

YOU MUST’VE LIKED DOING TIME,
’CAUSE LYING LIKE THIS

IS HOW YOU ADD ON YEARS
YOU DON’T NEED TO DO.

WHICH COULD BE ZERO, LLOYD.

TELL US WHAT HAPPENED, HOW IT
WAS ROUGH LIKE SHE WANTED.

WE’LL TALK TO HER, AND THEN
MAYBE SHE COMES OFF OF IT.

I DIDN’T DO ANY GIRL.
I WAS HOME.

YOUR LAST CHANCE, LLOYD.

I’M CLEAN.

I GOT A CLEAN BODY
AND A CLEAN MIND.

I WORK.

AND WHEN I DON’T WORK,
I READ MY BIBLE

AND I DRINK WATER
SO I STAY CLEAN.

AND WHEN YOU’RE NOT CLEAN,

IS THAT WHEN YOU CONFUSE
ROUGH SEX WITH RAPE?

I...AM...CLEAN.

YOU’RE STILL STICKING AROUND.
GET COMFORTABLE.

THE DOA IS IN THE FRONT SEAT ‐‐
SHOT IN THE HEAD.

WHO FOUND HIM?
NAME IS BEN TYRELL.

OWNS A PRINTING COMPANY
ACROSS THE STREET.

I GOT THE BODY.

HEY, MR. TYRELL,
YOU FOUND HIM?

WHAT MADE YOU LOOK
IN THE CAR?

I ADMIT I WAS GOING TO DO
SOMETHING TO IT,

AND THEN THERE HE WAS,
AND I SAID, "WHOA."

WHY WERE YOU GOING TO DO
SOMETHING TO THE CAR?

IT’S IN MY SPOT.

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN
IN YOUR SPOT?

SINCE THIS MORNING.
ALL THESE SPOTS ARE ASSIGNED.

I COULDN’T JUST TAKE
SOMEONE ELSE’S, SO...

YOU WERE GONNA KEY HIS CAR?
NO, NO.

JUST SPREAD SOME...MATTER.

DOG MATTER.

A TURD?

WELL, I’M GLAD YOU DIDN’T.
YOU RECOGNIZE HIM?

NO.

WELL, STAY HERE.

I.D. SAYS
"FREDERICK ESCALANTE, M. D."

AND HE’S GOT A BUSINESS CARD.

IT SAYS PRESIDENT OF A COMPANY
CALLED MANGROW.

HEY, HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A
DR. FREDERICK ESCALANTE

OR A COMPANY CALLED MANGROW?

NO.

A BIG HELP ‐‐
NO ADDRESS ON THE CARD.

JUST A NAME
AND PHONE NUMBER.

[ CELL PHONE RINGS ]

IT’S HIS CELL.

SO, IS IT TRUE
CLARK’S NOT FIGHTING

ON ACCOUNT OF IT BEING
HIS TIME OF THE MONTH?

I WOULDN’T GO CALLING CLARK
A PUSSY IF I WERE YOU.

JUST REPEATING WHAT I HEAR.

WHY DON’T YOU GO ASK
THE LOT ATTENDANT

IF HE KNOWS
WHEN THIS CAR CAME IN.

ALL RIGHT.

JOHN BETTER NIP THIS,

OR IT’S GONNA BE ON HIM
FOREVER.

I’VE SEEN STUFF LIKE THIS
FOLLOW A GUY HIS WHOLE CAREER.

YEAH, ME TOO.

GOT IT.

YOUR DOA, ESCALANTE,
HE’S NOT AN M. D.

AT LEAST NOT IN NEW YORK.

HE GOT A SHEET?

CREDIT‐CARD FRAUD
FROM FIVE YEARS AGO,

RECEIVING PROPERTY HE CLAIMED
HE NEVER GOT,

IDENTITY THEFT ‐‐
NICKEL‐AND‐DIME STUFF.

CONNIE AND RITA GET AN ADDRESS
OFF HIS LICENSE PLATE?

APARTMENT ON 73rd AND LEX.

NOT BAD.

A WOMAN ANSWERED WHEN THEY
CALLED, A JENNIFER PRINCE.

THEY’RE BRINGING HER IN.

OKEYDOKE.

YOU’RE KICKING YOUR SUSPECT?

THE SEROLOGIST CALLED
ON OUR VICTIM’S RAPE KIT.

THERE’S A D. N. A. MATCH ON A GUY
WHO PLED OUT ON A RAPE COLLAR,

KEVIN HEELY.

IS HE OUT?
HE DIDN’T DO TIME.

V.C.I. SAYS HE PLED
TO A CRIMINAL‐TRESPASS CHARGE.

HOW DID HE SELL THAT?

THE VICTIM WAS HIS WIFE.
WE GOT HIM LIVING ON RIVINGTON.

GET HIM IN.

YEAH.

[ MAN CLUCKING LOUDLY ]

WHAT ASSHOLE DID THAT?

I DON’T SEE ANYONE.

SCURRIED AWAY LIKE A RAT.

DON’T LET IT GET TO YOU.

YEAH, RIGHT.
WE GOT A CASE TO WORK.

YOU TALK TO LAUGHLIN YET?

NO, HE’S STILL ON PATROL.

ALL RIGHT, ARE WE GOING?

SO, JENNIFER, HAVE A SEAT.

DO YOU LIVE
WITH DR. ESCALANTE?

YEAH, SORT OF.

HE DO SOMETHING WRONG?

HIS NAME CAME UP IN A CASE.

WHAT’S "SORT OF" MEAN?

I’M STAYING WITH HIM
UNTIL I FIND A PLACE,

BUT DON’T THINK
I’M BANGING HIM FOR IT.

THAT’S BY CHOICE.

WHEN’S THE LAST TIME
YOU SAW HIM?

WHEN HE LEFT THIS MORNING.

FOR WORK,
SELLING MANGROW?

YEAH.

WHAT EXACTLY IS MANGROW?

AN ELONGATION GUARANTEE TO ADD
INCHES AND GIRTH ‐‐

PENIS‐ENLARGEMENT CREAM.

SNAKE OIL.

WE SAY UP FRONT
IT’S NOT CLINICALLY PROVEN.

"WE"? SO YOU’RE INVOLVED
IN THE COMPANY?

I’M A SPOKESMODEL
AT THE TRADE SHOWS.

AND WHEN WE GET ON
HOME SHOPPING,

FREDDY SAYS I’LL DO
THE PRESENTING.

DID FREDDY MAKE ANY ENEMIES
FROM SELLING THIS CREAM?

WE’VE HAD COMPLAINTS,
BUT ENEMIES?

WHAT KIND OF COMPLAINTS?

I JUST OVERHEARD HIS SIDE
OF THE PHONE CALLS.

WERE THE CONVERSATIONS
PRETTY HEATED?

I GUESS.

TO THE POINT WHERE YOU THOUGHT
SOMEONE MIGHT COME AFTER FREDDY?

WHAT KIND OF CASE
DID HIS NAME COME UP IN?

A HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION.

MEANING WHAT?

HE’S DEAD.
HE WAS FOUND THIS MORNING.

SORRY.

OH.

OH, GOD.

DID HE EVER MENTION THE NAME OF
WHO WAS MAKING THE COMPLAINTS?

NO.

OH, GOD.

WHO ELSE IS IN HIS LIFE?

HIS BUSINESS PARTNER,
JOEY GONZALES.

THEY’RE OLD FRIENDS

FROM EL SALVADOR OR SAN SALVADOR
OR SOMETHING.

THIS IS AWFUL.

WHERE CAN WE FIND HIM?

I KNEW IT WAS TOO GOOD
TO BE TRUE.

SIT DOWN, KEVIN.

I GOT SOME STUFF
TO DO BEFORE WORK,

SO WHAT’S UP?

WHAT KIND OF WORK YOU DO?

FIREFIGHTER.

WHO ARE YOU WITH?

LADDER 63.

AVENUE A?

YOU LOST SOME GUYS
ON 9‐11.

YEAH.

YOU GOT WORK THIS MORNING?

I’M OFF TILL TONIGHT.

WERE YOU ANYWHERE NEAR
THE FIREHOUSE THIS MORNING,

MAYBE NEAR 1st AND D?

NO, I WAS HOME
ALL MORNING. WHY?

YOU KNOW THAT ALLEY
ON 1st AND D?

THERE’S A BODEGA
A BLOCK DOWN.

YOU DIDN’T HAPPEN BY THERE
AT ALL THIS MORNING?

I SAID I WAS HOME.
WHY? WHAT’S UP?

A FEW YEARS BACK,
YOU TOOK A COLLAR FOR RAPE.

IS THAT RIGHT?

YEAH, BUT IT WASN’T RAPE.

I GOT IN A SHOUTING MATCH
WITH MY NOW EX‐WIFE.

SHE’S A DRUNK.
SHE ALWAYS HAD SOME BEEF.

SHE BLEW IT UP
JUST TO BREAK MY ASS.

WHY DID YOU CONFESS?

I NEVER CONFESSED TO RAPE.

ON THE ADVICE OF MY ATTORNEY,

I TOOK A PLEA TO AN ATTEMPTED
CRIMINAL‐TRESPASS CHARGE.

WHY PLEAD IF YOU DIDN’T
DO ANYTHING?

I WAS IN THE MIDDLE
OF A NASTY DIVORCE.

I WAS ON THE LIST
FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT,

WHICH I’D HAVE BEEN
DROPPED OFF

HAD I GONE TO TRIAL
AND BEEN CONVICTED.

MY LAWYER TOLD ME THAT SEEING IT
WAS A "HE SAID, SHE SAID,"

THERE WAS A CHANCE
I COULD ACTUALLY LOSE.

SO I TOOK A GARBAGE PLEA
JUST TO MAKE IT GO AWAY.

WHAT DRAGS THIS UP?

WE’RE GONNA LEVEL WITH YOU,
KEVIN.

THERE WAS A RAPE THIS MORNING
IN THE ALLEY ON AVENUE D,

AND YOUR D. N. A. SHOWED UP
IN THE VICTIM’S RAPE KIT.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WHAT D. N. A.?

YOUR EX HAD A RAPE KIT DONE
AFTER THE ALLEGED RAPE,

AND YOUR D. N. A. WAS IN IT.

IT MATCHES WITH THE GIRL
FROM THIS MORNING.

NO, IT’S NOT POSSIBLE.

MAYBE THIS GIRL’S TELLING
STORIES LIKE YOUR EX‐WIFE DID.

IF THAT’S THE CASE,
YOU TELL US WHAT HAPPENED.

I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT ANY GIRL.

THEN EXPLAIN YOUR D.N.A.
IN HER RAPE KIT.

IT’S NOT MINE! I DON’T KNOW.
IT’S A MISTAKE.

THAT DON’T WORK, KEVIN.

HOW IS MY D.N.A.
IN MY EX‐WIFE’S KIT

IF I DIDN’T HAVE SEX WITH HER

FOR SIX MONTHS PRIOR
TO THAT ARREST?

PROVE YOU DIDN’T HAVE SEX.

ASK MY EX!

I NEVER EVEN GAVE
A D. N. A. SAMPLE.

I JUST TOOK THE PLEA.

YOU DIDN’T GIVE
A D. N. A. SAMPLE?
NO.

THEN WHAT WAS IN YOUR
EX‐WIFE’S RAPE KIT?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

HEELY,
DO YOU WANT OUR HELP,

OR YOU WANT TO KEEP DANCING
AROUND IN CIRCLES?

I DIDN’T DO A RAPE!
NOT NOW, NOT THEN, NEVER!

WE GENERALLY TAKE FOLKS’ WORD
FOR IT AROUND HERE,

BUT WE’LL NEED
TO CHECK THIS OUT.

GET IN THE CAGE.

YOU’RE KIDDING.

YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING.

COME ON.

[ CELL DOOR CLOSES ]

KEVIN HEELY A COLLAR?

YEAH.

YOU BRINGING HAYWOOD IN?

HEELY PUT UP A GOOD FIGHT
IN THE ROOM.

WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?

THAT, BUT ‐‐

WE’RE TALKING A D. N. A. MATCH.
HOW IS IT NOT HIM?

IT’S GOT TO BE.

IT’S JUST THAT EVERYTHING
WE GOT, HE GOT AN ANSWER FOR.

IT DON’T SEEM LIKE AN ACT.
HE’S TOO STRAIGHT AN ARROW.

I’M ON MY WAY
TO MEET THE CHIEF.

HE’S GONNA WANT TO KNOW
WHERE WE ARE ON THIS.

WE’RE PUTTING IT
THROUGH ITS PACES.

WE’LL GET THE VICTIM
TO VIEW A PHOTO ARRAY

AND RECANVASS FOR WITNESSES,

AND THEN IT GOES
INTO THE SYSTEM.

[ DOORBELL BUZZES ]

MR. GONZALES!

WHO’S THERE?

POLICE.
OPEN UP, PLEASE.

WHAT’S GOING ON?

OPEN UP
AND WE’LL TELL YOU.

IT’S A DEAD BOLT.
I GOT TO GET THE KEY.

THE SOONER, THE BETTER.

[ THUD ]

HE’S GOING FOR THE WINDOW.

WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?

DON’T HURT ME, PLEASE!
HELP!

SHUT UP!

YOU’RE REALLY COPS?

THAT’S WHAT WE SAID.

THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF
BREAK‐INS AROUND HERE.

AN OLD LADY GOT BEAT TO DEATH
DOWN THE BLOCK.

THIS IS OUR PRECINCT, AND WE
DIDN’T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

MAYBE SOMEBODY LIED TO ME.

WHERE WERE YOU
THIS MORNING, JOEY?
I WAS HERE.

WHEN’S THE LAST TIME
YOU SAW YOUR PARTNER ‐‐ FREDDY?

LAST NIGHT, I GUESS.
WHY? WHAT’S UP WITH HIM?

WE FOUND HIM DEAD
IN HIS CAR THIS MORNING.

NO WAY.

YOU OWN A GUN, JOEY?
NO!

WE GOT A WITNESS
WHO SAW SOMEBODY

MATCHING YOUR DESCRIPTION
POP FREDDY THIS MORNING.

AND THAT WITNESS IS DOWN
AT OUR STATION HOUSE

WAITING TO VIEW A LINEUP.

LOOK, I DIDN’T KILL HIM.
HE WAS LIKE MY BROTHER.

THEN WHY DID YOU GO
FOR THE WINDOW WHEN YOU SAW US?

AND DON’T SAY "BREAK‐INS"
AGAIN.

COULD WE JUST ‐‐
CAN YOU GIVE ME A MINUTE?

I’VE KNOWN FREDDY FOR 20 YEARS.
WE GREW UP TOGETHER.

AND IF YOU WANT PROOF,

I WAS HERE TO TALK
TO THE DISTRIBUTOR.

I WAS BAWLING HIM OUT
ALL MORNING.

WE HEARD HE’D BEEN GETTING
COMPLAINTS ON YOUR PRODUCT.

NOBODY COMPLAINS
ABOUT DICK CREAM, MAN.

THE STUFF DON’T WORK,
THEY THROW IT AWAY.

THEN WHO?

LOOK, I WANT YOU TO FIND
WHO KILLED FREDDY,

BUT YOU GOT TO BE WILLING
TO LET THE PAST BE THE PAST.

DEPENDS ON YOUR HONESTY.

FREDDY WAS SORT OF AN M.D.
IN NICARAGUA,

BUT HE LOST HIS LICENSE,
AND HE WAS GONNA BE ARRESTED.

WE CAME HERE AND OPENED THIS
LITTLE SHOP ‐‐

COSMETIC SURGERY FOR LATINOS.

BACK‐ALLEY, UNLICENSED.

THERE WERE SOME COMPLAINTS
WITH THAT.

THAT’S WHY I WENT
FOR THE WINDOW.

NAMES?

MAN, I GOT TO CHECK
THE RECORDS.

WELL, GO AHEAD.

DON’T NEED IT.

[ LAUGHS ]

[ SIGHS ]
YOU SEE THE RAPE VICTIM?

SHE COULDN’T MAKE
A POSITIVE I. D.

SHE SAY IT DEFINITELY
WASN’T HEELY?

SHE WOULDN’T
RULE HIM OUT.

SAID IT COULD
HAVE BEEN HIM.

GO BACK AT HIM.

WE GET ANY CALLBACKS
FROM HEELY’S EX‐WIFE?

UH, NO CALLS.

WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

AT THE MANGROW OFFICES,
GOING THROUGH MEDICAL RECORDS.

WHO’S IN THE COFFEE ROOM?

I DON’T KNOW.

THE DOOR WAS OPEN
WHEN I LEFT A MINUTE AGO.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

OH!

UM...

WHAT?

I THINK IT’S ONE OF THE UNIFORM
OFFICERS’ IDEA OF A JOKE.

[ SCOFFS ]

[ SIGHS ]

WHERE ARE YOU GOING, CLARK?

I JUST WANT TO TALK TO HIM.

HEY, HERE HE COMES.

I UNDERSTAND THERE’S A NEW
SQUAD PET.

YOU GOT A MINUTE,
LAUGHLIN?

IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR RECIPES,
I’M A BARBECUE GUY MYSELF.

JUST A MINUTE ALONE.

YOU BET.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

YOU GOT SOME BALLS HUMILIATING
ME IN FRONT OF MY SQUAD.

I THINK YOU BROUGHT IT
UPON YOURSELF.

YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I DIDN’T
BACK OUT OF THIS FIGHT.

DO I?
YEAH, YOU KNOW IT.

I’M CHALLENGING YOU ‐‐
ANYWHERE, ANYTIME.

SO NOW YOU’RE SETTING ME UP
FOR SOME KIND OF AMBUSH?

YOU CHOOSE IT ‐‐
ANYWHERE, ANYTIME.

WHAT’S GOING ON?

WE’RE GONNA HAVE TO
SETTLE THIS.

WHAT’S GOING ON?

YOU’RE GETTING A SECOND CHANCE
TO HELP YOURSELF.

SIT.

WHAT HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN DOING
ALL THIS TIME?

WE WERE OUT CHECKING
YOUR STORY.

YOU’RE SURE YOU WERE
IN ALL MORNING?
YEAH.

WE GOT A WITNESS SAW YOU
LEAVING THE BUILDING.

I WENT AND GOT THE PAPER.
I WAS OUT 10 MINUTES.

WE ALSO TALKED
TO THE RAPE VICTIM.

SHE SAW YOUR PHOTO.

AND?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

SHE’S WRONG.
NO WAY!

KEVIN, YOU EVER DO THINGS
THAT YOU DON’T WANT TO?

THINGS YOU HAVE
NO CONTROL OVER?

COME ON.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?

TRYING TO KEEP YOU FROM DOING
A FULL BIT.

I DIDN’T RAPE ANYBODY!

ARE YOU MARRIED?
SIX MONTHS.

YOU WANT YOUR WIFE SEEING THIS
ALL OVER THE PAPERS?

TALK TO US.
WE’LL SEE THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN.

OH, MY GOD.

WOULD YOU PLEASE, PLEASE
JUST CHECK THE D. N. A. AGAIN?

THAT’S YOUR LAWYER’S JOB.

THIS IS GONNA RUIN
MY LIFE.

WE GOT A RAPED AND BEAT GIRL
TO THINK ABOUT.

WHAT’S IT GONNA BE?

I CAN’T BELIEVE
YOU’RE DOING THIS TO ME.

COME ON. WE GOT A CELL
FOR YOU DOWNSTAIRS.

COME ON.

SO, ANTONIO...

YOU PREFER
BEING CALLED FALANA?

MM‐HMM.

IS THAT AFTER LOLA?

I LIKE HER STYLE.
I TRY TO EMULATE IT.

IS THAT WHY YOU WENT TO SEE
DR. ESCALANTE?

MAYBE TRY TO LOOK
LIKE HER, TOO?

I SUPPOSE.

AND HOW WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE
WITH THE DOCTOR?

FINE.

YOU DIDN’T VOICE
ANY COMPLAINTS TO HIM?

WHY AM I HERE?

THE DOCTOR WAS FOUND MURDERED
THIS MORNING.

AND YOU’RE LOOKING AT ME
FOR IT?

[ LAUGHS ]
I COULDN’T KILL A BUG.

WE’RE TALKING TO ANYONE
WHO HAD TROUBLE WITH THE DOCTOR

JUST TO GET AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT
KIND OF OPERATION HE RAN.

I ADMIT MY EXPERIENCE
WAS DISAPPOINTING.

HE’S A HACK.
DID YOU CALL HIM ON IT?

I CALLED HIS OFFICE
TO GET MY MONEY BACK.

I DID THAT UNTIL THE PHONE
WENT OUT OF ORDER.

THEN I DROPPED IT.
I MOVED ON.

WHAT DID YOU GO
TO THE DOCTOR FOR?

BREAST IMPLANTS.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I WENT INTO SEPTIC SHOCK

ON ACCOUNT OF THE IMPLANTS
WERE PHONY ‐‐

FOAM RUBBER IN PLASTIC WRAP.

END RESULT ‐‐
THREE SUBSEQUENT SURGERIES,

WHICH I DON’T KNOW
HOW I’M GONNA PAY FOR.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO THAT.

OH, BIG, BAD DETECTIVE
AFRAID OF SOME SCARS?

HE’S A HACK. OR WAS,
IF SOMEBODY KILLED HIM.

WHERE WERE YOU THIS MORNING
AROUND 7:00 A. M.?

AT MY HOME.

CAN ANYONE CONFIRM THAT?

MY CATS...

AND THE SUPER.

HE FIXED MY TOILET FINALLY.

I DIDN’T KILL THE DOCTOR,
IF THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE ASKING.

HE TOOK A LITTLE EDGE
OFF MY GLAMOUR,

BUT I GOT GLAMOUR TO SPARE.

NOW MAY I GO?

ARE YOU REACHABLE?

FALANA’S ALWAYS REACHABLE.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

SIT DOWN, CLARK.

THE WAY I HEAR IT,

THE NEXT STEP FOR YOU TWO
IS SQUARING OFF AT TEN PACES.

CAPTAIN, WE KID AROUND.
PEOPLE MISCONSTRUE IT.

RIGHT, THE SQUAD THINKS THEY’RE
BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE,

SO YOU GOTTA BREAK
THEIR BALLS A BIT.

SOMETIMES THESE GUYS MAKE
KEYSTONE KOPS LOOK COMPETENT,

SO WE DO IT BACK.

PERSONALLY, ME AND LAUGHLIN
GOT NOTHING AGAINST EACH OTHER.

ABSOLUTELY.

THIS WAS NEVER ABOUT
ANYTHING MORE

THAN WHO’S GOT
THE BETTER SKILLS.

WHICH HE KNOWS I DO,
BUT HE INSISTS I PROVE IT.

I LOVE THIS GUY.
HE KILLS ME.

THEN WHY DO I SENSE
A SNOW JOB?

CAPTAIN, WE’VE BEEN
WORKING HARD FOR THIS.

WE JUST WANT TO GET
INTO THE RING.

CLEAN AND FAIR.

BOYS, THIS ISN’T ABOUT
WHO’S GOT THE BIGGER JOHNSON.

IT’S A CHARITY EVENT.
WE GOT IT.

START ACTING LIKE IT.

THE FIGHT’S ON?

IT’S ON.

GO BACK TO WORK.

THANKS FOR COMING IN,
MS. HEELY.

HAVE A SEAT.

WANT SOME COFFEE?
NO.

WE GOT SOME QUESTIONS TO ASK
ABOUT YOUR EX‐HUSBAND.

KEVIN?
WHAT ABOUT HIM?

YOU HAD HIM ARRESTED FOR RAPE
TWO YEARS AGO.

YOU HAVE ANY CONTACT
WITH HIM SINCE?

NO.

YOU REMARRIED?
BOYFRIEND?

NEITHER. I THOUGHT
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HIM.

TELL US WHAT TOOK PLACE
WITH YOU AND KEVIN

THE NIGHT
YOU HAD HIM ARRESTED.

HE CAME IN, WOULDN’T LEAVE,
HE RAPED ME, AND THEN LEFT.

THEN YOU WENT TO THE HOSPITAL
FOR THE RAPE KIT,

AND THAT’S WHERE THEY GOT
HIS D. N. A.?

MM‐HMM.

WHY DID YOU LET HIM OFF
WITH A CRIMINAL‐TRESPASS PLEA?

I WANTED TO GET ON
WITH MY LIFE.

AND BEFORE THE INCIDENT,

WERE THINGS BETWEEN YOU AND
KEVIN PARTICULARLY BAD?

IT WAS BAD.

SO MUCH SO THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE
SAID THINGS ABOUT HIM

THAT WERE...EMBELLISHED?

LIKE LYING?

LIKE HE SAID THINGS
THAT UPSET YOU.

YOU SAID THINGS
TO GET BACK AT HIM.

TRYING TO GET ME IN TROUBLE
FOR SOMETHING?

THE ONLY WAY YOU’RE IN TROUBLE
IS IF YOU’RE LYING NOW

ABOUT THAT ORIGINAL INCIDENT
BEING A RAPE WHEN IT WASN’T.

HEY, I WAS THE VICTIM.
WHY ARE YOU PICKING ON ME?

THE D. N. A. FROM YOUR
RAPE KIT TWO YEARS AGO

MATCHES THE D. N. A. FROM
A BRUTAL RAPE THIS MORNING.

BASED ON THAT EVIDENCE,
YOUR EX‐HUSBAND’S A COLLAR,

WHICH WE’RE WILLING TO STICK BY
IF IT’S ALL ACCURATE.

THE THING IS,
ONCE HE GOES TO TRIAL,

HIS D. N. A. IS GONNA GET RETESTED
AGAINST THE GIRL THIS MORNING.

IF IT’S NOT A MATCH,
THEN WE’LL KNOW YOU WERE LYING,

AND YOU’RE THE COLLAR.

YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING.

NO, NOBODY’S KIDDING HERE,
EILEEN.

IF WE FIND OUT
THAT YOU’RE LYING,

WE’RE GONNA PRESS
FOR JAIL TIME.

COP TO IT NOW,
AND YOU WALK OUT THE DOOR.

I NEVER WOULD HAVE STUCK TO IT
IF HE HADN’T PLED OUT.

HE GOT CRIMINAL TRESPASS.
THAT’S LIKE A PARKING TICKET.

YOU’RE SAYING
KEVIN NEVER RAPED YOU?

WE WERE GOING THROUGH
A BAD DIVORCE.

WHOSE D. N. A.
WAS IN YOUR RAPE KIT?

THE GUY I WAS SEEING.

WHAT’S HIS NAME?

DARRYL MARQUETTE.

WRITE DOWN
WHERE WE CAN FIND HIM.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

THE DESK SERGEANT SAID YOU NEED
TO COME DOWNSTAIRS RIGHT AWAY.

WRITE.

SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED
TO YOUR RAPE SUSPECT.

KEEP HER COMPANY.

LOOK OUT!

MOVE!

WHAT HAPPENED?

HE MUST HAVE USED SOMETHING
ON HIS BELT.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT,
HEELY?

COME ON, GET UP.

LET’S GO.

ANYONE CALL E. M. S.?

WE’RE GONNA TAKE HIM OUT
IN A RADIO CAR.

YOU NEVER SAID
HE WAS A SUICIDE THREAT.

WE DIDN’T KNOW.

Man: MOVE!
GIVE HIM SOME ROOM!

AW, MAN.

EXCUSE ME.
DARRYL MARQUETTE?

WHAT IS IT?

WE NEED TO ASK YOU
SOME QUESTIONS.

I GOT TO GO TO WORK.

LET’S GO, DARRYL.
YOU’RE COMING IN.

I’M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

DARRYL!

COME ON!
QUIT SCREWING AROUND!

TAKE IT EASY!
TAKE IT EASY!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WE WERE JUST GONNA HAVE
A LITTLE CHAT,

AND YOU TURN IT INTO
A WHOLE BIG THING.

I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING.

COME ON.
YOU SON OF A BITCH.

LET’S GO.

[ HORN HONKS, TIRES SCREECH ]

HERE WE ARE AGAIN.

THERE’S A FEW THINGS WE NEED YOU
TO CLEAR UP, FALANA.

IT SHOULDN’T TAKE LONG.
GOOD.

CAN YOU TELL US

WHAT EXACTLY A SEXUAL
REORIENTATION PROCEDURE IS?

MY BEST GUESS ‐‐
A SEX CHANGE.

MEANING THAT DIDN’T HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO

WITH WHY YOU WENT TO SEE
DR. ESCALANTE?

WORKING COAT CHECK IN A TRANNY
CLUB MAY NOT BE WORK TO YOU,

BUT IT PAYS MY BILLS,
AND I CAN’T BE LATE.

WE LOOKED THROUGH
DR. ESCALANTE’S RECORDS

AND FOUND A BILL INDICATING

THAT YOU PAID $10,000
FOR THAT PROCEDURE.

WE’RE NOT TOO VERSED
ON THE SUBJECT, FALANA,

BUT A SEX CHANGE
FOR 10 GRAND?

THAT SEEMS AWFUL CHEAP.

YOU PAY WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

HOW DID IT TURN OUT?

THAT’S A PRIVATE ISSUE.

WE’LL ASSUME NOT WELL.

WHO CARES?

YOU SAID THAT YOU NEVER
CONTACTED DR. ESCALANTE

AFTER THEIR PHONES
WERE SHUT OFF.

IS THAT THE TRUTH?
YEAH.

SO YOU NEVER CALLED HIM
FROM A PAY PHONE

IN THE LOBBY
OF YOUR BUILDING?

’CAUSE IN THE LAST MONTH,
THERE’S 19 CALLS TO HIS CELL

FROM THAT PAY PHONE.

THAT DON’T MEAN NOTHING.

DO YOU OWN A GUN, FALANA?

DID YOU HAVE A REASON TO FIRE
ONE THIS MORNING?

OF COURSE NOT.

WE’RE GONNA MAKE YOU SUBMIT
TO A PARAFFIN TEST,

AND THAT’LL PROVE
YOU FIRED A GUN.

PUT THAT AND THE CALLS
AND THE BOTCHED SURGERY TOGETHER

WITH THE THREE LETTERS
WE FOUND IN HIS FILES

THREATENING TO BLOW
HIS BRAINS OUT

IF HE DIDN’T REFUND
YOUR MEDICAL BILLS,

IT STARTS
TO MEAN SOMETHING.

YOU GOT A STORY
TO TELL HERE, FALANA.

IF IT DOESN’T GET HEARD,

IT’LL COST YOU YEARS IN JAIL
YOU GOT NO BUSINESS DOING.

YOU KNOW THAT MOVIE
"HEDWIG AND HIS ANGRY INCH"?

WELL, THAT SON OF A BITCH
BARELY LEFT ME

WITH A PISSED‐OFF CENTIMETER.

HE CARVED YOU UP
PRETTY GOOD.

YOU KNOW THOSE SCARS
THAT I SHOWED YOU?

IMAGINE 20 TIMES WORSE
IN YOUR MOST PRIVATE PARTS.

WHAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING?

I CALLED HIM YESTERDAY,
AND I BEGGED AGAIN.

I BEGGED FOR THE MONEY

BECAUSE MY MEDICAL BILLS ARE
PUTTING ME OUT ON THE STREET,

AND HE TELLS ME TO PISS OFF.

SO I APPROACHED HIM
THIS MORNING...

AND I SHOT HIM.

I KILLED HIM.

IF THIS IS WHAT
HE’S DOING TO PEOPLE,

THEN HE DON’T BELONG
ON THIS EARTH!

WE NEED YOU TO WRITE DOWN
WHAT YOU TOLD US.

CAN I PUT IN

HOW I JUST WANTED TO FEEL
BEAUTIFUL ABOUT MYSELF

FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE?

[ CRYING ]

AND HE BUTCHERED ME.

THAT SHOULD BE PROMINENT.

SO, DARRYL, YOU KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED UPSTAIRS?

YEAH, I GOT MISIDENTIFIED
FOR SOMETHING.

YOU KNOW
WHAT D. N. A. TESTING IS?
HEARD OF IT.

YOUR D. N. A. WAS IN THAT WOMAN
YOU RAPED THIS MORNING,

AND YOU JUST GOT PICKED OUT
BY A WITNESS.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?

I DIDN’T DO ANY RAPE.

IT MEANS YOU’RE A COLLAR
NO MATTER WHAT.

BUT SINCE
WE’RE DECENT HUMAN BEINGS,

WE’RE GONNA GIVE YOU
AN OPPORTUNITY

TO SHOW YOU’RE THE SAME
BY GIVING A STATEMENT

AND KEEPING THAT WOMAN FROM
HAVING TO TESTIFY IN COURT.

I DIDN’T DO A RAPE.

ALL RIGHT, STEP INSIDE,
DARRYL.

THIS IS A SPECIAL PLACE

WHERE WE DO INTERVIEWS
WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

WHAT IS THIS?
WE CALL THIS
THE TRUTH ROOM.

IS THAT BLOOD?

WE FIND PEOPLE THINK CLEARER
IN HERE. ARE YOU FINDING THAT?

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

WE’RE GONNA ASK YOU
SOME QUESTIONS.

LIKE WE ASKED THE GUY
BEFORE YOU SOME QUESTIONS.

BEAT IT.
YOU GOT IT.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

WHAT ARE YOU ‐‐

YOUR MIND GETTING
CLEARER NOW, DARRYL?

GUARD!
HE’S GONE.

LOOK ‐‐ SHE LURED ME
INTO THAT ALLEY.

AND THEN SHE BEGGED YOU
TO BEAT HER

AND PUT HER FACE
IN A PUDDLE?

I GOT FRUSTRATIONS. I DON’T
KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THEM.

SO DO WE.

ALL RIGHT!
ALL RIGHT, I DID IT!

I DID IT!

I DID IT!
WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?!

GUARD!
SHUT UP, DARRYL!

[ GRUNTING ]

THEY GETTING YOU A ROOM?

CAN YOU GIVE US A MINUTE?

WE GOT THE GUY
WHO DID THE RAPE.

HE GAVE A STATEMENT.

AND THE D. N. A. MIX‐UP

WAS ON ACCOUNT OF THEM
NOT DOING A COMPARISON

ON THE CASE WITH YOUR EX‐WIFE
’CAUSE YOU PLED OUT.

SO THEY JUST TOOK IT
FOR GRANTED

THAT THE D.N.A.
FROM HER RAPE KIT WAS YOURS.

I GUESS THAT’S GOING AROUND.

NONE OF THIS
WOULD HAVE HAPPENED

IF YOU HADN’T HAVE PLED
GUILTY BACK THEN.

MY ATTORNEY SAID, "PLEAD."

I’M NOT HERE
TO GET YOU AGITATED.

WE STRAIGHTENED OUT
THE D. N. A. MIX‐UP.

IT WON’T COME BACK AGAIN.

THAT’S IT.

HOW ABOUT AN APOLOGY?

FOR WHAT?

I TOLD YOU A HUNDRED TIMES
I DIDN’T DO IT.

SO DOES EVERYONE, HEELY.

THREATENING ME ‐‐
THREATENING TO RUIN MY LIFE.

IF IT WAS YOUR WIFE
IT HAD HAPPENED TO,

ISN’T THAT HOW YOU’D WANT US
TO GO AT THE GUY WHO DID IT?

EXCEPT I DIDN’T DO IT.

WHICH IS WHY WE PURSUED
THE CASE

INSTEAD OF JUST DUMPING YOU
IN THE SYSTEM.

I DID MY JOB, AND I’M NOT GONNA
APOLOGIZE FOR THAT,

BUT I AM SORRY YOU GOT
PUT THROUGH THIS.

OKAY.

THANKS FOR PURSUING IT.

TALK TO YOU.

FOR DOING ALL THIS.

WELL, WE’RE ON

YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO DO THAT.

I WANTED TO.

YOU WANNA STAY AWHILE?
