DETECTIVE DANIEL ERIC SORENSON,

WE PRAY, LORD, THAT YOU
TAKE HIS SOUL ONTO YOUR BOSOM,

AND MAY HIS SOUL AND THE SOULS
OF ALL THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED,

THROUGH THE MERCY OF GOD,

AMEN.

Andy: DANNY WAS A GOOD COP.

I WAS PROUD TO KNOW HIM.

AND I WAS PROUD
TO WORK WITH HIM.

AND I’M GONNA MISS HIM.



WHAT HE MEANT TO ALL OF US ‐‐

HIS LOYALTY, HIS BRAVERY,

HIS GOOD HEART,
HIS SENSE OF WRONG AND RIGHT ‐‐

ANYWAY, I HOPE HE’S
IN A BETTER PLACE.

BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT A PART OF
HIM WILL ALWAYS BE HERE WITH US.

ALL I REALLY
WANT TO SAY HERE IS ‐‐

John: DETECTIVE...

THAT REALLY WAS BEAUTIFUL
OUT THERE.

DEPARTMENT DOES A NICE JOB.

ACTUALLY, I WAS REFERRING
TO WHAT YOU SAID.

I THINK DETECTIVE SORENSON
WOULD’VE BEEN TOUCHED.

YOU’VE ALL MET JOHN CLARK.

AS YOU KNOW, HE’S BEEN
ASSIGNED TO OUR SQUAD,

SO I’M SURE YOU’LL
MAKE HIM FEEL AT HOME.
WELCOME ABOARD.

THANKS.
I KNOW IT’S A TOUGH DAY.

WHATEVER I CAN DO TO HELP.
HEY.

Greg: HOW’S THE ARM?
Clark: IT’S GOOD.

ALSO ROBBERY ASSAULT ON 13th.

VICTIM’S BEING TREATED
ON THE SCENE.

WHO DO YOU WANT
WORKING THAT ONE?

YOU’RE UP.

LET’S TALK FIRST.

CONNIE, WHY DON’T YOU
SHOW JOHN AROUND?

COME ON. I’LL SHOW YOU
THE V. I. P. TOUR.

THANKS AGAIN FOR WHAT YOU DID
OUT ON THE STREET.

THIS AIN’T ONE OF THOSE

"PULL A THORN OUT OF THE OTHER
GUY’S PAW" TYPE DEALS.

YOU DON’T OWE ME NOTHING,
OKAY?

OKAY.

I’D APPRECIATE YOU
TAKING CLARK OUT TODAY.

I NEED AN EXPERIENCED
DETECTIVE TO SHOW HIM
THE ROPES.

LOOK, HE’S A GOOD KID,

BUT IT’S NOT EVEN TWO HOURS
SINCE I BURIED ONE,

AND THAT’S BESIDES
THIS ONE’S OLD MAN
BEING A FLAT‐OUT DICKHEAD,

NOT TO MENTION I ALREADY
HAD A PARTNER NAMED JOHN ‐‐

FOR SIX YEARS.

ANDY, WE GOTTA PULL
THE SQUAD BACK TOGETHER.

I NEED YOUR HELP.

WE’LL TAKE IT DAY TO DAY.

WELL,
TODAY IT’S ME AND CONNIE.

JUNIOR CAN TAG ALONG,
IF YOU WANT.

DONE.

Mike: APARTMENT
GOT TORCHED.

SO DID THE FEMALE ‐‐
UNIDENTIFIED.

YEAH? DO WE KNOW
WHO LIVED THERE?

TWO GIRLS. I’M STILL TRYIN’
TO FIND OUT WHO.
WHO CALLED IT IN?

NEXT‐DOOR NEIGHBOR ‐‐
WHACK JOB.

UH, EXCUSE ME, MA’AM.

DO YOU KNOW THE NAMES OF
THE GIRLS WHO LIVE HERE?

NO, I DON’T KNOW THEM.

YOUNG WOMEN LIKE THAT
BEHAVING LIKE THAT.
BEHAVING LIKE WHAT?

THE CRY OF SODOM
AND GOMORRAH IS MULTIPLIED,

AND THEIR SIN HAS BECOME
EXCEEDINGLY GRIEVOUS.

MA’AM, ONE
OF THE GIRLS IS DEAD.

SO IF THERE’S ANYTHING, LIKE,
CONCRETE YOU CAN GIVE US

ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT,
WE’D REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

SINNERS SHALL RECEIVE
THEIR RECOMPENSE
FOR THEIR WRONGDOING.

ALL RIGHT.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

CRUCIFIX, BELLY RING.

NO WAY SHE GOT DRUNK AND PASSED
OUT WITH A CANDLE GOING?

NO, IT LOOKS LIKE
IT WAS SET.

BOY, SHE LOOKS YOUNG.

HEY, GUYS,
I GOT A GIRL OUT HERE

SAYS SHE LIVES
IN THIS APARTMENT.

SALLY JONES.

YOU LIVE IN 6B, SALLY?

YEAH. WHAT HAPPENED?

WHAT’S GOING ON?

WHAT’S YOUR ROOMMATE’S NAME?

CHRISSY NOLAN.
WHERE IS SHE?

DOES SHE WEAR A CRUCIFIX
AROUND HER NECK?

DOES SHE HAVE A BELLY RING?

YEAH. IS SHE OKAY?

OH, MY GOD.

Baldwin: THERE WAS A FIRE.

WHERE’S CHRISSY?

SHE DIDN’T MAKE IT.
I’M SORRY.

[ CRIES ]

LET’S GET HER OUT OF HERE.

IT’S OKAY.

ARE YOU A FRIEND OF HERS?

YEAH. I CAN’T BELIEVE
THIS IS HAPPENING.

OKAY, STAY WITH HER,
AND WE’LL HAVE AN OFFICER

BRING YOU DOWN
TO THE STATION LATER.

ANGUISH SHALL BE
VISITED UPON THE SOULS

OF ALL THOSE
WHO WORK EVIL!

YEAH, WE GOT IT. THANKS.

ANGUISH SHALL BE VISITED

UPON THE SOULS OF ALL THOSE

WHO WORK EVIL!

NIGHT WATCH HERE?

IN THE BEDROOM.
RUN IT.

SECURITY COMPANY RESPONDED
TO A PANIC ALARM AT 6:15 A. M.

FOUND THE OCCUPANT,
NANCY CARLSON,

IN THE BEDROOM ‐‐
COMATOSE, ALL SLASHED UP.

SHE GO DOA?

BEEN MOVED TO BELLEVUE,
BUT IT DON’T LOOK GOOD.

ANDY.

SORRY
ABOUT MISSING THE FUNERAL.

THIS JUMPED OFF AT THE END
OF MY TOUR.

HOW’D IT GO?
HOW’D IT GO?
THEY BURIED HIM.

BUT THE SERVICE WAS NICE?
NICE FLOWERS?

THAT’S NOT WHAT I
WAS PAYING ATTENTION TO.
IT WENT FINE.

WAS THE VICTIM MARRIED?

HUSBAND’S NAMED PHIL.

SECURITY COMPANY
HAD HIS PAGER.
HE’S ON THE WAY.

Clark: HE SAY FROM WHERE?

GUY WHO LIVES LIKE THIS
DOESN’T WORK NIGHTS.

NAH, HE’S GOT
AN ARCHITECTURE DIPLOMA.

WHERE WAS HE?
HE SAID
AN EARLY GOLF GAME.

YOU CLARK?

EDDIE GIBSON.
HEY.

READ ABOUT YOU IN THE PAPER.

KID’S GOT BALLS.

WHICH HE’LL LOSE IF HE LEAVES
ANOTHER PAW PRINT IN THIS ROOM.

HUSBAND’S HERE.

YOU TRY AND KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF
UNTIL CRIME SCENE GETS THROUGH.

MR. CARLSON,
I’M DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ.

DETECTIVES McDOWELL AND CLARK.

I GOT A CALL TO COME HOME,
BUT THE COP DIDN’T SAY WHY.

WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU’VE BEEN
ROBBED, MR. CARLSON.

WHY DON’T YOU TAKE A SEAT?

WHERE’S MY WIFE?
WHERE’S NANCY?

Connie: SHE’S AT BELLEVUE.

SHE’S BEING TREATED
FOR A STAB WOUND.

IS SHE ALL RIGHT?

I SHOULD BE WITH HER.
SHE’S GETTIN’ GOOD CARE.

THE THING TO DO NOW IS TO HELP
GET THE INVESTIGATION GOING.

YOU TOLD THE COP YOU WERE
PLAYING GOLF. WHERE?

QUAKER RIDGE IN WESTCHESTER.

Sipowicz: YOU ALWAYS
PLAY SO EARLY?

EVERY TUESDAY.

ALWAYS THE SAME GROUP?

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH
MY WIFE BEING STABBED?

MAYBE NOTHING, BUT YOU START OUT
GENERAL AND YOU GET SPECIFIC.

YOU’RE SPECIFICALLY
ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT ME.

GETTING EXCITED ISN’T GONNA HELP
FIND OUT WHO DID THIS.

I DON’T THINK ASKING STUPID
QUESTIONS WILL, EITHER.

SO, EXCUSE ME, I’M
GONNA GO BE WITH MY WIFE.

WE’LL BE IN TOUCH.

SWEET GUY.

I’LL START A CANVASS.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

WHAT’D YOU GET?

NO FORCED ENTRY,
NO BROKEN WINDOWS.

CRIME SCENE’S
STILL PROCESSING.

DID YOU PUT IN A CALL TO THE
HUSBAND’S COUNTRY CLUB?

HE OCCASIONALLY PLAYS TUESDAYS,
BUT HIS GROUP DIDN’T COME TODAY.

WHERE IS HE NOW?

PRETENDING TO MOPE
OVER HIS WIFE.

WHY AREN’T WE
GRABBING THIS GUY UP?

HE WAS HINKY AT THE SCENE.

I FIGURED GIVE HIM AN HOUR,

THEN BRING HIM IN EASY.

SO WE’VE GONE FROM "MAYBE HE’S
GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE"

TO CONVINCED HE DID IT?

FOR NOW, HE’S
OUR TOP CANDIDATE.

THAT MAKES SENSE.

YEAH? WHY?

HE HAS ACCESS, OPPORTUNITY ‐‐

A REAL PRICK ‐‐

K.I.S.S. ‐‐
"KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID."

YOUR DAD TEACH YOU THAT?

YOU’RE SO SHARP,
WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

LOOK INTO HIM FOR A MOTIVE.

SO WE GO TO THE MOTIVE STORE,
SEE WHICH ONE HE BOUGHT?

WE COULD SEE WHO
HE’S BEEN CALLING.

MAYBE HE’S GOT A GIRLFRIEND.

I’LL CALL T. A. R. U.,
GET A DUMP ON HIS PHONES.

I’D LIKE TO SEE HOW MUCH LIFE
INSURANCE HE’S GOT ON HIS WIFE.

DO IT.

THERE’S NO WAY TO GET
INFORMATION ON LIFE INSURANCE.

MAYBE HE KNOWS
SOMETHING WE DON’T.

MORNING. JOHN CLARK.
LOOKING FOR MY SON.

I’M JOHN IRVIN.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

HE’S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

SIPOWICZ.

CLARK.

Your dad’s here.

POP, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

MY DAY OFF ‐‐
THOUGHT I’D STOP IN.

HOW’S IT GOING?

I WAS WORKING A CASE.

WHAT’D YOU GET?

STABBING.

I RECOGNIZE GREG MEDAVOY.

YOU KNOW EACH OTHER?

YEAH, WE’VE CROSSED PATHS.
HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD.

THERE’S YOUR JACKET.

THIS MUST BE YOUR DESK.

WHO ARE YOU WORKING WITH?

CONNIE McDOWELL...

HI.

...AND ANDY.

IS THAT SO?

YEAH, I FIGURE
WORK WITH YOUR KID,

MAYBE YOU AND ME
GET TO HANG OUT.

PEOPLE CONSIDER SARCASM
THE OUTLET OF A WEAK MIND.

YOU HAVE BUSINESS HERE,
DUTCH BOY?

POP, HOW ABOUT I BUY YOU
SOME COFFEE, HUH?

LET’S GO.

COME ON.

OVER HERE.

SO, SHOULD I DUST OFF
THE GLOVES,

OR YOU TWO WILL JUST
SETTLE THIS IN THE ALLEY?
I HATE TO SAY, "I TOLD YOU SO."

REGARDING WHAT?
WHAT HAVE I BEEN
WARNING ABOUT ALL WEEK?

THE SARCASM, THE INSULTS.
THERE’S NO CHANCE THAT HE
WAS REACTING TO YOU?

MEETING YOUR SQUAD,
SITTING AT YOUR DESK?

MAYBE IT WAS YOU SHOWING UP
IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I MEAN, YOU DON’T LIKE HIM,
WHY COME TO HIS SQUAD?

’CAUSE I BEEN
ON THIS JOB 26 YEARS,

AND I CAN WALK
INTO ANY PRECINCT
I DAMN WELL PLEASE,

ESPECIALLY THE ONE MY SON
IS WORKING IN.

FINE.

DAD, IF I’M GONNA WORK HERE,
YOU GOTTA EASE UP WITH HIM.

WHAT WOULD HELP THAT

IS IF YOU DECLINED
TO WORK WITH THIS BUM.

I KNOW YOU DON’T LIKE HIM,

BUT EVERYONE I’VE TALKED TO SAYS
THAT HE’S A GREAT DETECTIVE.

DECLINE TO WORK WITH HIM.

JUST CALL MY BOSS,
LIEUTENANT CROMWELL.

I GOT A CASE.

WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR
A BIT ABOUT.

WHAT’D YOU GET?

IT’S A POSSIBLE BREAK‐IN,
BUT THE HUSBAND’S ALIBI
DOESN’T CHECK.

TELL ME ABOUT THE HUSBAND.

YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT ‐‐
’56 LES PAUL.

I’M VERY INTERESTED
IN BUYING ONE.

THANKS.

HEY, GREG, I DIDN’T KNOW YOU
WORKED WITH MY FATHER.

YEAH, A FEW TASK FORCES.

NEVER THE SAME SQUAD.

YOU KNOW WHAT, UH,
"DUTCH BOY" MEANS?

IT WAS A MINOR THING,
YEARS AGO,

WHEN HE WAS ON A FOOT POST.

LIKE WHAT?

I GUESS HE SORT OF...

[ CHUCKLES ]

SHOT UP A HARDWARE STORE.

SO "DUTCH BOY"?

ABOUT 2:00 IN THE MORNING,

YOUR FATHER SAW
THE BACKDOOR OPEN

TO MILLER PAINT AND HARDWARE
ON FLATBUSH.
I’VE DRIVEN BY IT.

SO, IT’S A 2‐STORY PLACE,
STREET LEVEL AND BASEMENT.

HE CREEPS IN, GUN DRAWN,
CALLS OUT ‐‐

NOTHING.

THEN HE MOVES DOWNSTAIRS.

IT’S PITCH DARK.
HE ROUNDS A CORNER.

AND THERE’S A GUY
STANDING WITH A GUN.

"DROP IT!" HE YELLS.

"DROP IT!"

BUT THE GUY DON’T MOVE,
SO CLARK OPENS FIRE.

HE HITS THE DECK,
SCRAMBLES FOR HIS RADIO,

AND CALLS IN BACKUP.

[ CHUCKLES ]

AFTER A MINUTE
SITTING IN THE DARK,

HE FINDS THE LIGHT,

AND HE SEES THE AIR
IS FULL OF WHITE POWDER,

LIKE HE SHOT UP A BAG
OF FLOUR...

BUT IT WASN’T FLOUR.

IT WAS A LIFE‐SIZE
PLASTER STATUE

ADVERTISING DUTCH BOY PAINT,

BUT THE LITTLE BRUSH HAD BEEN
EXPLODED OUT OF ITS HAND,

AND THERE WAS TWO BULLET HOLES
IN THE CROTCH!

[ LAUGHS ]

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

HE GOT HIS BALLS BROKE
BUT GOOD.

IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED
TO ANYONE.

OH, SURE, YEAH.
SIMPLE MISTAKE.

Greg: OH, FRIENDS
OF THE DOA.

WE BETTER TALK TO THEM.

YOU BET.

ARE YOU FREE TO TAKE
THE DOA’s ROOMMATE?

SURE. UH, SALLY, RIGHT?

YEAH, AND HIT HER UP
ABOUT THAT GUITAR.

JUST TAKE A MINUTE.
THIS WAY.

SO, UH, WE’LL TAKE CANDY?

YEP.

[ SIGHS ]

THE KID ASKED.

HI, SALLY.
I’M DETECTIVE McDOWELL.

HI.

I’M SORRY WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOUR FRIEND.

HOW LONG WERE YOU ROOMMATES?

A YEAR OUT HERE,

BUT WE’VE BEEN BEST FRIENDS
SINCE JUNIOR HIGH.

WHEN DID YOU
LAST SEE CHRISSY?

[ Voice breaking ]
LAST NIGHT.

ME AND HER RODE WITH CANDY
IN THE VAN

TO CANDY’S GIG IN HOBOKEN.

WE WERE ALL GONNA GO TO
A PARTY AFTER.

BUT CHRISSY GOT
ONE OF HER MIGRAINES,

SO SHE TOOK A CAB HOME.

DO YOU KNOW HOW THE FIRE
STARTED YET?

NO, WE DON’T.

CHRISSY EVER HAVE A BEEF

WITH ANYONE MIGHT WANT TO SEE
HER HURT?

NO.

WE’RE LIKE NOBODIES OUT HERE.

WE DON’T HAVE ENEMIES.

HOW ABOUT
A JEALOUS BOYFRIEND?

NO.

CHRISSY DIDN’T WANT
TO GET SERIOUS WITH ANYONE.

SHE WAS TOO FOCUSED
ON MAKING IT.

WE TALKED TO CHRISSY’S DAD.

SOUNDS LIKE HER FAMILY
WAS PRETTY WELL OFF.

YEAH.

HE FAXED US OVER A LIST
OF HER BELONGINGS.

LOOKS LIKE ONE GUITAR
MISSING WAS WORTH 8 GRAND.

THAT WAS A GRADUATION
PRESENT FROM HER DAD.

WHO’D KNOW
SHE HAD EXPENSIVE GEAR?

LOTS OF PEOPLE, I GUESS.

WE HAD PARTIES ALL THE TIME.

ANYONE BESIDES YOU AND CHRISSY
HAVE KEYS TO THE APARTMENT?

JUST CANDY.

CHRISSY LET HER COME BORROW
GUITAR PEDALS AND STUFF,

LET HER USE
OUR REHEARSAL SPACE.

SO YOU GUYS ARE TIGHT
WITH CANDY?

YEAH. WE HANG OUT.

WHAT’S WITH ALL THESE
WEIRD QUESTIONS?

CHRISSY WAS MURDERED
LAST NIGHT.

THE FIRE WAS SET TO MAKE IT
LOOK LIKE THAT’S HOW SHE DIED.

WHAT?

[ SOBS ]

OH!

I NEED YOU TO WRITE DOWN
THE NAMES OF PEOPLE

WHO HUNG OUT AT YOUR PLACE,

PEOPLE WHO KNEW CHRISSY
HAD THAT GUITAR.

[ Sobbing ]
I CAN’T BELIEVE SHE’S DEAD!

Greg: SO, HOW LONG YOU
KNOWN SALLY AND CHRISSY?

SINCE RIGHT AFTER
THEY MOVED HERE.

MY BAND
WAS HEADLINING AT CB’s,

AND THEY CORNERED ME
AFTER A GIG,

WANTING TO KNOW
HOW I GOT TO WHERE I AM.

CHRISSY GOT ANYONE YOU KNOW
MIGHT WANT TO HURT HER?

NO, THOUGH SHE
PISSED A LOT OF PEOPLE OFF.

PEOPLE WHO PAID THEIR DUES?

YEAH. MADE HER FOR A WANNABE
’CAUSE SHE NEVER LIVED IT.

ME, IF I HAD A RICH DAD,
SCREW IT, I’D GET A LOFT.

BUT CHRISSY
WANTED TO KEEP IT REAL.

SHE WAS A COOL CHICK.
IT REALLY SUCKS WHAT HAPPENED.

WE HEARD SHE HAD A GUITAR
WORTH A LOT OF MONEY ‐‐

A 1956 GIBSON LES PAUL.

YEAH, SEE, THAT’S THE KIND OF
CRAP I’M TALKING ABOUT.

SHE’S GOT AN ORIGINAL ’56
GOLDTOP PAUL,

BUT SHE CAN ONLY PLAY
THREE DAMN CHORDS.

WHEN DID YOU SEE HER LAST?

IN HOBOKEN LAST NIGHT.

MY DRUMMER LIVES OUT THERE.

WE PARTIED AFTER AT HIS CRIB,
CRASHED THERE.

CHRISSY DIDN’T FEEL GOOD,
SO SHE SPLIT.

SO, THERE’S NOBODY
IN PARTICULAR YOU
CAN THINK OF

THAT REALLY
HAD IT OUT FOR HER?

NO, BUT YOU GOTTA WATCH
YOURSELF.

IT’S LIKE A LITTLE KID
LIVING ON A BUSY STREET.

THAT’S A LINE I WROTE
IN A SONG ABOUT NEW YORK.

IT’S A TOUGH TOWN.

[ SIGHS ]

GOT ANYTHING ON THE ROOMMATE?

NO, AND YOUR POOL OF SUSPECTS

INCLUDES EVERY BROKE
AND JEALOUS MUSICIAN
IN NEW YORK.

GREAT.

HEY.

HOW’S IT GOING?

UH, SURFING FOR INFO
ON A LIFE INSURANCE POLICY.

I’VE DONE A LAWMAN SEARCH,
AND I RAN A CREDIT CHECK.
BUT I GOT NOTHIN’ YET.

YOU CAN’T GET ANYTHING
ON LIFE INSURANCE

UNLESS THE INSURED PARTY
TELLS YOU THEMSELVES.
SAY WHAT?

EVEN IF YOU
GOT A POLICY NUMBER,

THE PRIVACY ACT WON’T
ALLOW THE INSURANCE COMPANY

TO GIVE OUT SPECIFICS
WITHOUT A SUBPOENA.

LEAVE ME OUT OF THIS.

THANKS FOR THE TIP.

SO, WHAT’S NEXT?
YOU GONNA SHORT‐SHEET MY BED?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

LIFE INSURANCE POLICY.
YOU KNEW I COULDN’T GET THAT
INFORMATION WITHOUT A SUBPOENA.

I FIGURED MAYBE YOU HAD AN IN
WITH THE GOOD HANDS PEOPLE.

YEAH, WELL, I’M FLATTERED.
MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU COULD
SAVE ME THE TRIP.

ROBERT HOROWITZ.
I REPRESENT PHILLIP CARLSON.

DETECTIVES SIPOWICZ
AND McDOWELL.

Connie: WHAT CAN WE
DO FOR YOU?

MR. CARLSON INFORMED ME
THAT THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION

GOING ON REGARDING THE ATTACK
ON HIS WIFE, AND HE’S A SUSPECT.

WE NEVER IDENTIFIED
HIM AS A SUSPECT.

BUT IF YOU’RE HERE
TO TELL US SOMETHING ‐‐

I’M ABSOLUTELY HERE
TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

STOP SLANDERING
MY CLIENT’S NAME
BY CALLING HIS CO‐WORKERS

AND ASKING ABOUT AFFAIRS
THAT DON’T EXIST.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

A DETECTIVE’S BEEN CALLING
MY CLIENT’S WORKPLACE

AND ASKING SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS
ABOUT INFIDELITIES AND AFFAIRS

BASED ON
INNOCENT CELL PHONE CALLS

MY CLIENT MADE
TO HIS PERSONAL ASSISTANT.

NOBODY HERE HAS BEEN
MAKING THOSE CALLS.

THEY MOST CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN,
AND IT’S IN EXTREMELY POOR TASTE

AS MRS. CARLSON IS CURRENTLY
FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE

AND MY CLIENT
IS AT HER SIDE.

MY CLIENT WANTS TO KNOW WHO
DID THIS HORRIBLE THING,

BUT THIS IS NO WAY TO GET
COOPERATION FROM HIM.

IT’S AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION.

WHEN WE WANT A STATEMENT FROM
YOUR CLIENT, WE’LL CONTACT HIM.

YOU’LL CONTACT ME.

I AM NOTIFYING YOU NOW

THAT MY CLIENT
HAS RETAINED ME AS COUNSEL.

[ SIGHS ]

CELL‐PHONE CALLS?

DID YOU GET THE PHONE DUMP
BACK YET FROM CARLSON’S CELL?

NO.

DID ANYBODY CALL
ON THE PHONE DUMP?

TELL ME NOW BEFORE I
RIP THIS GUY A NEW ONE.

GILMORE, SIPOWICZ.

YOU GET ANY RESULTS YET
ON OUR PHONE DUMP?

WELL, WHEN THE HELL
WERE YOU GONNA TELL US?!

OH, YEAH?

ALL RIGHT.

I’M SORRY FOR THE MIX‐UP.

WHAT, YOU FIGURE YOU WERE GONNA
CLEAR THIS CASE ON YOUR OWN?!

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

GILMORE AT T. A. R. U.
SAYS DETECTIVE CLARK

CALLED TELEPHONE SECURITY
ON OUR PHONE DUMP!

WELL, GILMORE IS FULL OF IT!

I NEVER CALLED ANYONE!

OH, MAN.

[ GROANS ]

[ SIGHS ]

LET ME CALL YOU BACK.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED
OUT THERE?

OUR WHOLE CASE IS SCREWED UP,
AND THIS KID HAS GOT TO GO.

LET HIM WORK WITH HIS DAD
UP IN THE BRONX.

WHAT HAPPENED?

THE KID’S OLD MAN,
DUTCH BOY ‐‐

THIS MORON,
HE GOES BACKDOOR,

CALLS TELEPHONE SECURITY DIRECT
ON OUR PHONE DUMP.

HE STARTS CONTACTING
THE SUSPECT’S CO‐WORKERS.

NOW CARLSON HAS LAWYERED UP!

CLARK’S FATHER MADE CALLS
ON YOUR CASE?

YEAH,
HE MADE CALLS ON OUR CASE

TRYING TO SHOW HIS KID
WHAT A GREAT DETECTIVE HE IS,

WHICH HE AIN’T,
AND HE NEVER WAS.

THAT’S WHY HE’S SUCH A PRICK ‐‐
’CAUSE HE KNOWS IT!

YOU WANT ME TO CALL
THE CHIEF OF DETECTIVES?

JUST GET HIM OUT OF HERE
AND WE’LL CALL IT EVEN.

THERE’S NO WAY UNLESS I GO
THROUGH THE CHIEF.

LOOK, I’M NOT LOOKING TO HURT
NOBODY’S CAREER,

BUT THIS ‐‐ I’M NOT GONNA
DEAL WITH THIS.

LET ME TALK TO CLARK.
I’LL PUT A STOP TO IT.

YEAH, BRINGING HIM IN IS REALLY
PULLING THE SQUAD TOGETHER.

[ SIGHS ]

BOSS, THIS IS ON ME.

MY DAD ASKED ME ABOUT THE CASE,
AND I TOLD HIM.

BUT NOT IN A MILLION YEARS DID I
THINK THAT HE WOULD ‐‐

IT WAS ME WHO SCREWED UP.

I WON’T HAVE THIS
IN MY SQUAD.
YOU’RE NOT GONNA.

YOUR DAD’S ON THE JOB,
I RESPECT THAT.

THAT IS THE FIRST TIME
AND THE LAST TIME.

I’M GONNA LOOK
LIKE A REAL ASS

IF I TRUST YOU
AND IT DOESN’T STOP.

YOU WON’T.

IT’S JUST THAT
HE ALWAYS THOUGHT

THAT SOMEDAY
WE’D BE WORKING TOGETHER.

IT HIT HIM HARD
THAT I PICKED HERE.

TELL HIM TO GET OVER IT.

YOU’RE RIGHT, YOU’RE RIGHT.

IS HE
GONNA TAKE A HIT ON THIS?

NOT IF IT DOESN’T
HAPPEN AGAIN.

YOU NEED TO REMEDY
THIS SITUATION

BEFORE IT PUTS A STINK ON YOU
YOU CAN’T GET OFF.

McDowell: OKAY.

THANKS.

[ SIGHS ]

Connie: MRS. CARLSON
JUST WENT DOA.

I’LL GO CHECK WITH THE UNIFORMS,
SEE IF THEY GOT ANYTHING.

DON’T GET LOST.

[ SIGHS ]

WHAT, I’M THE BAD GUY?

DID I SAY ANYTHING?

A ’56?

NOW, YOU’RE SURE?

THAT’S GREAT.

AND WHAT’S YOUR NAME?

DID I HEAR RIGHT?

POOCH?

POOCH IT IS.

I’M GREG.

HOLD THE GUITAR.
I’LL SEE YOU IN A BIT.

INVASION GUITAR GOT ONE IN
THIS MORNING.

ALL RIGHT.
LET’S DO IT.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

15th SQUAD.

John: MAY I HELP YOU?

HIT ON A GUITAR STOLEN
FROM OUR DOA.

DID I ASK?

WELL, YOU WERE JUST
SORT OF STARING.

He just stepped out
for a moment.

Would you like
to leave a message?

JOHN, PUT IT ON HOLD.
PUT IT ON HOLD.

IS THAT FOR THE KID?

WHO IS IT?

HIS FATHER.

I DON’T KNOW IF YOU WERE LOOKING
TO BUTT IN OR TRYING TO HELP

OR YOU’RE STILL THE SAME LOUSY
DETECTIVE YOU’VE ALWAYS BEEN,

BUT YOUR ASSHOLE MOVE
DAMN NEAR SUNK OUR CASE.

IF YOU EVER COME NEAR
THIS SQUAD AGAIN

OR IF YOU EVER
WALK THROUGH THIS DOOR,

I DON’T CARE
WHOSE FATHER YOU ARE

OR IF YOU’RE ESCORTING
THE MAYOR,

I WILL STUFF YOUR HEAD
IN A TRASH CAN

AND I WILL KICK YOU
DOWN THE STAIRS!

I KNOW WHAT MY DAD
DID WAS WRONG,

BUT IF YOU EVER TALK
LIKE THAT TO HIM AGAIN,

YOU’RE GONNA HAVE
TO DEAL WITH ME.

Baldwin: [ CLEARS THROAT ]
COME ON, LET’S GO.

Andy: AREN’T YOU SUPPOSED
TO BE KEEPING YOURSELF
BUSY SOMEWHERE?

YEAH, I GOT SOMETHING
FROM UNIFORM.

IS IT A SECRET?

RADIO RUN,
JUST AFTER 6:00 ‐‐

A DOG‐WALKER REPORTED A
SUSPICIOUS GUY IN THE AREA.

SHE GOT THE PLATES ON HIS CAR.

TURNS OUT THIS GUY JUST
GOT OUT OF THE JOINT ‐‐

KEITH CASEY.

THIS IS HIS SHEET.

FOUR COLLARS FOR BURGLARY,
ONE FOR AGGRAVATED ASSAULT.

HE DID TWO YEARS UPSTATE.

THE ADDRESS ON THERE?
MMM.

LET’S GO.

NO, YOU’RE STAYING.

PUSH YOUR PENCIL AROUND
YOUR DESK OR SOMETHING.
MAKE PATTERNS.

WHO DID WHAT HERE, ANDY, HUH?
IT WASN’T HIS FAULT.

I DON’T WANT HIM AROUND!

HE CAME UP WITH THIS, HE
DESERVES TO BE IN ON IT.

COME ON.

[ BELL RINGS ]

YOU POOCH?

YOU GUYS CALL ABOUT THE
LES PAUL?
YEAH.

WADE.

WE’RE HERE ABOUT
THE ’56 LES PAUL.

COPS, RIGHT?

Greg: HOW’D YOU GUESS?

YEAH, JUST YOUR BASIC ’56
LES PAUL GOLDTOP.

SINGLE‐COIL PICKUPS,
TUNE‐O‐MATIC BRIDGE.

IS THAT AN INSTRUMENT
OR A CAR?

IT’S A GUITAR ‐‐
A NICE ONE ‐‐

WORTH A LOT OF MONEY.

HOW MANY TIMES I GOT
TO APOLOGIZE?

Baldwin: WHERE’S
THE SERIAL NUMBER?

RIGHT HERE, UP ON TOP ON
THE BACK SIDE OF THE HEAD ‐‐

RARE.

WILL YOU STEP OFF MY NUTS
ALREADY?

HOW’D YOU GET IT?

I OPEN UP, THERE’S THIS JUNKIE
TYPE HANGING OUT.

HE’S GOT THIS BABY,
HE WANTS TO DEAL.

DIDN’T CROSS YOUR MIND
MAYBE IT WAS STOLEN ‐‐

WHICH IS WHY YOU’RE
PISSED OFF AT POOCH HERE?

THIS AIN’T A PAWN SHOP.
DUDE’S A MUSICIAN.

SOMETIMES MUSICIANS NEED CASH,
DOPE, RENT, YOU KNOW.

DID YOU DO ANY PAPERWORK
ON THIS TRANSACTION?

YEAH.

COPIED HIS DRIVER’S LICENSE.

CHARLES PRICE ‐‐
2407 WEST 9th.

GOES BY SPIDER.
PLAYS TENOR SAX.

I’VE SEEN HIM
AROUND THE CLUBS.

I FIGURE IF SPIDER’S
OFF‐LOADING HIS AX,

HE MUST BE DESPERATE,
SO I GAVE HIM 1,500.

STOLEN PROPERTY, WADE.

SO, I’M OUT 1,500,
BASICALLY.

WELL, NEXT TIME,
BE MORE CAREFUL.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]
MY DAD WAS A COP.

HE WAS CHIEF
IN SARATOGA SPRINGS.
OH, YEAH?

YOU’D THINK HIM BEING UPSTATE

WOULD STOP HIM BUTTING IN
IN MY WORK,

BUT HE ALWAYS HAD AN OPINION.

HE EVER BLOW
ONE OF YOUR CASES?

NO, ANDY, HE DIDN’T.

STILL, WHEN HE BUTTED IN,
I’M SURE HE MEANT WELL.

TELL THAT
TO A VICTIM’S MOTHER ‐‐

"THE CASE GOT BLOWN
OUT OF STUPIDITY,

BUT ALL INTENTIONS
WERE GOOD."

Man over Radio:
15th SQUAD ON THE AIR.

15th SQUAD STANDING BY.

PERSON AND OTHERS
YOU’RE TRYING TO LOCATE

ARE OUTSIDE BILL’S TAVERN.

10th AND 2nd.

THANKS.

15th SQUAD, 10‐4.

[ POUNDS, DOOR UNLOCKS ]

HEY...CANDY.

WHAT’S GOING ON?

IS SPIDER HERE?

HE’S CRASHED OUT.
WAKE HIM UP.

WHY?
’CAUSE I SAID SO!

WHAT’S GOING ON?
WHY ARE YOU GUYS
SO AGGRO?

GET UP.

WHAT? HEY!

YOU CAN’T JUST COME IN HERE
AND DO THAT!

SPIDER, WHAT’S GOING ON?

I DON’T KNOW
WHAT THESE GUYS WANT.

DON’T YOU HAVE TO HAVE
A WARRANT OR SOMETHING?

YOU’RE COMING, TOO.

WHAT, FOR THE POT?

COME ON, LET’S GO!

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.

IT’S A TOUGH TOWN,
HUH, CANDY?

COME ON, MOVE IT!

POLICE. WHAT’S YOUR NAMES?

WHY, WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW
YOUR NAME.

FRANKIE, LIKE SINATRA.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO,
POP US FOR A FEW BEERS?

STAND UP, CASEY.

WE GOTTA TALK.

TAKE A HIKE, FRANKIE.

I’M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
THIS IS MY STREET.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR.

I’M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

YOU’RE TAKING A COLLAR ‐‐

INTERFERING WITH A POLICE
INVESTIGATION.

YOU TOO, KEITH.

LET’S GO.

SO LONG, FELLAS.

[ CHUCKLES ]

SO...WHAT’S GOING ON?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT FLASH BURNS
ARE, SPIDER?
NAH.

IT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
YOU LIGHT A FIRE USING
ACCELERANTS LIKE GAS.

IT’S A QUICK,
SUPERFICIAL BURN ‐‐

VERY DISTINCTIVE.

I DON’T UNDERSTAND ‐‐

PUT YOUR HANDS BACK ON
THE TABLE!

WHAT?

THESE ARE FLASH BURNS.

SEE HOW THE HAIR
ON YOUR RIGHT ARM’S SINGED OFF?

YEAH, I WAS ‐‐

NO, YOU WEREN’T.

FLASH BURNS ON YOUR ARMS,

YOU SOLD CHRISSY’S GUITAR
THIS MORNING ‐‐

IT’S OVER WITH, SPIDER.

YOU’RE ON THE HOOK NOW.

SO THE REST OF OUR TIME
IN THIS ROOM TOGETHER

SHOULD BE SPENT
ON HOW YOU CAN MINIMIZE

THE YEARS YOU’RE
GONNA SPEND IN JAIL.

AND YOU SHOULD START
WITH HOW YOU DIDN’T
MEAN TO KILL CHRISSY,

’CAUSE ANYBODY
THIS SLOPPY AND STUPID
DIDN’T PREMEDITATE IT

I DIDN’T.

GOOD. THAT’S BIG
WHEN IT’S ACCIDENTAL.

IT WAS.

EVERYBODY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
AT THE GIG,

AND I WENT IN THERE JUST TO GRAB
UP THE JEWELRY.

CHRISSY WALKS IN.

YEAH, AND IT’S 5:00 A. M.

AND I’M TEARING THROUGH
HER NIGHTSTAND.

SHE STARTS SCREAMING.

"SON OF A BITCH!
SON OF A BITCH!"

SOMEBODY HEARS THAT,

THEY’RE GONNA CALL THE COPS,

SO I WAS JUST TRYING
TO SHUT HER UP,

AND THEN, THE NEXT THING I KNOW,
SHE AIN’T BREATHING.

PLUS, YOU GOTTA REALIZE

THAT I’M LIKE OUT OF MY MIND
WASTED THROUGH ALL THIS.

WHAT’D YOU USE TO START
THE FIRE?

JUST SOME NEWSPAPER
AND LIGHTER FLUID.

I KNEW THAT THEY COULD
PROBABLY TRACE THE GUITAR.

I JUST DIDN’T GIVE A DAMN.
I NEEDED A FIX.

OKAY, SO WHAT ABOUT ‐‐

YOU WERE SAYING
ABOUT KNOCKING TIME OFF,

’CAUSE I CAN’T DO ANY MORE
THAN I HAVE TO.

WELL,
THERE WAS NO FORCED ENTRY,

SO IF YOU KNOW ANYBODY
WHO HAD ACCESS TO THE APARTMENT

AND GAVE YOU A KEY,

TELL US,
’CAUSE THAT’LL HELP YOU.

MAN!

DID CANDY GIVE YOU THE KEY?

[ SIGHS ]

SALLY.

THE ROOMMATE.

YEAH.

LISTEN...

I WAS ABUSED AS A KID, TOO.

MM‐HMM.

AND I’VE HAD A REAL SERIOUS DRUG
PROBLEM FOR, LIKE, 10 YEARS.

YOU THINK
THAT’S GONNA HELP ME?

OH, YEAH. YEAH,
THAT’S ALWAYS A PLUS.

YEAH.

Tony: WHAT HAPPENED?

THIS SPIDER, HE DID IT.

HIS GIRLFRIEND SET HIM UP?

NO, THE DOA’s ROOMMATE, SALLY.

YEAH, SHE GAVE HIM A KEY,

ARRANGED FOR THE DOA TO BE OUT
OF THE APARTMENT,

BUT CHRISSY CAME HOME EARLY,
WALKED IN ON IT.

HEY, CONNIE, YOU
BUILD A RAPPORT WITH SALLY?

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, I’LL PAGE HER.

SO, SHOULD WE KICK CANDY?

UH, AS SOON AS WE
GET SALLY ON THE WAY IN.

SO, HOW ARE WE
GONNA GO AT THIS GUY?

YOU’RE RESPONSIBLE FOR FINDING
HIM, YOU TAKE THE INTERVIEW.

OKAY.

UNLESS YOU FEEL
YOU’RE NOT READY
OR YOU CAN’T HANDLE IT ‐‐

I’M READY.

GOOD, THEN TAKE IT.

YOU’RE NOT SETTING
THIS KID UP TO FAIL, ARE YOU?

I’M GIVING HIM
THE OPPORTUNITY
TO DO HIS JOB,

OR IS THIS A DETECTIVE
TRAINING SCHOOL HERE?

YOU GONNA BE LOOKING IN?
YEAH.

HE STUMBLES,
GET YOUR ASS IN THERE.

ISN’T THIS OVERKILL FOR
DRINKING A BEER IN PUBLIC?

YOU THINK THAT’S WHAT
THIS IS ABOUT?

HAVE A SEAT.

WHERE WERE YOU THIS MORNING?

I DIDN’T GET UP TILL NOON.

OKAY, NOW THAT’S BAD.

’CAUSE I KNOW YOU WERE AT
13th STREET THIS MORNING.

WHAT WE GOTTA FIGURE OUT
IS WHAT WENT WRONG

WHEN YOU WENT
IN THAT APARTMENT.

MAYBE WE SHOULD FIGURE OUT WHAT
THE HELL YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT.

YOU KNOW YOU
WERE THERE, KEITH.

THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE
TO PULL SOME HAIR SAMPLES

AND GET SOME FINGERPRINTS,

BUT WE GOT A MUCH
BIGGER PROBLEM AT HAND.

OH, YEAH?

LAY IT ON ME.

THE WOMAN ‐‐ WHO LAST I HEARD
IS RECOVERING AT BELLEVUE ‐‐

HER BROTHER IS A COP.

AND HE’S ON HIS WAY
DOWN HERE FROM THE BRONX.

HE’S THE BIGGER PROBLEM
I’M TALKING ABOUT.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS ‐‐ I MEAN,
I DIDN’T DO NOTHING!

KEITH, IF YOU
KEEP DICKING WITH ME,

I GOT NO CHOICE
BUT TO PUT YOU
BACK IN THE CAGE,

GO OUTSIDE, AND WAIT
FOR HIM TO SHOW UP.

THEN EVERY COP ON DUTY
IS GONNA TAKE AN EARLY DINNER,

AND HE’S GONNA COME IN HERE
WITH A COUPLE OF HIS BOYS

AND PULL THE SHADE.

NOW, I KNOW YOU’VE DONE TIME,

BUT HE’LL PUT YOU
THROUGH SOMETHING

YOU’VE NEVER BEEN THROUGH
BEFORE, BELIEVE ME.

NOW, WHAT I CAN DO
FOR YOU RIGHT NOW

IS GET YOUR STATEMENT HOW
THIS WAS A ROBBERY,

AND HIS SISTER, YOU KNOW, CAME
AT YOU OR I DON’T KNOW WHAT,

BUT IT WENT BAD,
AND YOU REACTED,

AND YOU DIDN’T WANT IT
TO GO THAT FAR.

AND IF I CAN GET YOUR
STATEMENT, I CAN GET YOU
OUT OF HERE.

DOWN TO CENTRAL BOOKING
WHERE YOU’LL BE IN FRONT
OF OTHER PEOPLE.

AND THIS COP
WON’T HAVE ACCESS TO YOU.

UNTIL THEN, YOU’RE MARKED.

WHAT’S IT GONNA BE?

ANYBODY TOUCHES ME,
I’LL SUE THE CITY.

HE’LL SAY YOU RESISTED.

HE’LL PLANT A SHANK
IN YOUR HAND.

THAT’S WHAT I’D DO
IF IT WAS MY SISTER.

WHY DO YOU EVEN GIVE A DAMN
IF I GET TORTURED OR NOT?

I’M NOT GONNA LIE TO YOU.

I’M DOING THIS AS MUCH
FOR HIM AS I AM FOR YOU.

HE DOESN’T NEED TO RISK
HIS CAREER OVER THIS.

I OWE A FELLOW COP THAT MUCH.

WHAT WOULD I BE LOOKING AT

IF IT WAS A ROBBERY
THAT GOT OUT OF HAND?

I KNOW WHAT YOU’LL BE
LOOKING AT IN 15 MINUTES

IF YOU DON’T MEET ME HALFWAY.

OKAY, OKAY.

THAT’S WHAT IT WAS.

I‐I DIDN’T MEAN TO STAB HER.

I WAS JUST OUT LOOKING
FOR A PLACE TO TAKE OFF.

I SAW THIS GUY SPLIT.

I TRIED THE DOOR,
HE LEFT IT OPEN.

I‐I WENT IN.

THIS LADY, SHE CAME AT ME,
YOU KNOW?

I DID WHAT I HAD TO DO.

THAT’S THE WHOLE THING.

ALL RIGHT.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I’M GONNA GET YOU A PAD AND PEN
SO YOU CAN WRITE IT DOWN.

LET’S GO.

DID YOU FIND OUT ANYTHING?

A COUPLE THINGS, YEAH.

LIKE WHAT?

LIKE HOW YOU
GAVE SPIDER YOUR KEY.

I NEVER GAVE HIM A KEY.

AT THIS POINT,
LYING ABOUT WHAT YOU DID,

THAT’S LIKE SPITTING
ON YOUR FRIEND’S GRAVE.

DON’T DO IT.

AM I GONNA GO TO JAIL?

HOW’D YOU GET HOOKED UP
WITH SPIDER?

I MET HIM THROUGH CANDY.

AND...I WAS LONELY.

WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS?
HIS.

THE MONEY I SAVED RAN OUT.

ME AND CHRISSY THOUGHT
WE’D MAKE IT RIGHT AWAY ‐‐

BE STARS BY NOW, YOU KNOW?

AND CHRISSY’S DAD PAID MY
SHARE FOR A FEW MONTHS,

BUT THEN, A FEW WEEKS AGO,

HE TOLD CHRISSY TO TELL ME
I HAD TO SUPPORT MYSELF.

THAT PISS YOU OFF?

NO. I MEAN, MAYBE A LITTLE,
BUT I DIDN’T BLAME HER.

SHE’S MY BEST FRIEND.

BUT I DIDN’T HAVE ANY MONEY,

AND SPIDER’S LIKE,

"CHRISSY’S DAD’S RICH.
HE’LL NEVER MISS IT."

THEN WE WERE GONNA
HEAD DOWN TO RALEIGH.

I GUESS THERE’S
A COOL SCENE THERE,

’CAUSE IT WASN’T WORKING HERE,
FOR EITHER ONE OF US.

DID SPIDER SAY WHY
HE KILLED HER?

HE TELL YOU
WHY HE WAS GOING TO?

HE TOLD ME HE WAS JUST GONNA
TAKE HER JEWELRY AND PAWN IT!

I DIDN’T KNOW IT
WAS GONNA GO THIS FAR.

[ SOBS ]

ALL RIGHT.

I’LL GET YOU A LEGAL AID
ATTORNEY WHO CAN HELP YOU OUT.

I’D DO ANYTHING
TO TAKE ALL THIS BACK!

CENTRAL BOOKING’S BACKED UP,

SO A UNIFORM IS GONNA
LODGE HIM OVERNIGHT.

SO I GUESS WE’LL HOLD OFF
ON PAPERWORK UNTIL TOMORROW.

YEAH.

SO WE’RE DONE.

HOW’D YOU DO?

SHE WENT.

JOSH IS SITTING WITH HER,

BUT I GOTTA MAKE SURE SHE’S
KEPT ON A SUICIDE WATCH.

I’LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

[ SIGHS ]

NEXT TIME,
KEEP THAT OUT OF THE ROOM.

THE PAD?

MAKES A SUSPECT NERVOUS,
AND IF YOU WRITE,

HE’LL THINK EVERYTHING HE’S
SAYING IS CARVED IN GRANITE.

OKAY.

UH, WE WERE GONNA STOP AT MAC’S
BEFORE HEADING HOME.

WHY DON’T YOU JOIN US?

YEAH, MAYBE I WILL.

COMING, ANDY?

NO, MEDAVOY.

WE WERE THINKING
ABOUT TOASTING DANNY,

AND SINCE
IT’S BEEN A ROUGH DAY,

WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE GOOD
TO HAVE A LAUGH.

[ GRUNTS ]

HERE WE GO.

GREAT.

BEER FOR ME,
DRAFT FOR YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANKS.

SO, INSTEAD OF JUST
TOASTING DANNY,

WE GO AROUND THE TABLE
AND RECOUNT FOND MEMORIES.

JOHN EXEMPT, OF COURSE.

LET’S TOAST HIM
AND RECOUNT IN PRIVATE.

TO DANNY.

AND A FRESH START.

AND HOW ABOUT SOMEONE’S FIRST
HOMICIDE COLLAR, HUH?

YEAH.
HEAR, HEAR.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]
EXCUSE ME.

I’M SORRY TO INTERRUPT.

POP...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WE’RE GOING HOME.
LET’S GO.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

DAD, I JUST GOT HERE.

NOW YOU’RE LEAVING.

OKAY, WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?

YOU’RE NOT A DRUNK.
I WON’T LET HIM
TURN YOU INTO ONE.

GET OUT OF HERE, CLARK.

SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

IF YOUR KID WANTS TO FOLLOW,
HE WILL, BUT YOU LEAVE NOW.

SHUT UP, YOU MISERABLE DRUNK.

YOU GOTTA GO NOW.

GET AWAY FROM ME, JOHN.

GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME.
WE’LL TALK AT HOME.

GET YOUR JACKET.
GET OUTTA HERE.

BACK OFF.

DAD, GET OUTTA HERE!

THAT’S IT!
IT’S OVER, ALL RIGHT!

DAD, GET OUTTA HERE NOW

BEFORE I DO SOMETHING
I’M GONNA REGRET.

[ SIGHS ]

I HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY.

I HOPE YOU’RE
PLEASED WITH YOURSELF.

I’M SORRY.

[ SIGHS ]

THIS IS GREAT.

THIS IS REALLY GREAT.
