NYPD Blue (1993–2005): Season 9, Episode 8 - Puppy Love - full transcript
PREVIOUSLY ON "NYPD BLUE"...
I KNOW YOU GOT CANCER.
YOU BELONG ON MEDICAL LEAVE.
CYNTHIA TOLD YOU?
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
YOU EVER MEET MY WIFE ‐‐
RITA ORTIZ?
MAYBE. IRAQ.
SHE’S GOT ME SCOUTING SQUADS.
SHE’S LOOKING
TO MAKE A CHANGE.
WHERE IS SHE NOW?
O.C.C.B. VICE.
I HEARD YOU WERE HERE,
FIGURED SHE COULDN’T DO BETTER.
FACT IS, WE’RE FULL UP.
ANY CHANGE, RITA WILL BE
MY FIRST CALL.
Andy: HE’S GOT CANCER.
HE WON’T GET TREATMENT
’CAUSE HE’S WORRIED
THAT HIS FAMILY WON’T BE
PROVIDED FOR IF HE DIES.
I GUESS THAT EXPLAINS
HIS BEHAVIOR.
SOME OF IT.
THE REST IS JUST HIM.
YOU’RE GETTING PROMOTED TO
FIRST‐GRADE.
WE BOTH KNOW I DIDN’T EARN THIS.
IT’S FALSE PRETENSES.
YOU GOT 28 YEARS ON THE JOB.
YOU EARNED IT.
TAKE A MEDICAL LEAVE.
GET YOURSELF WELL.
"EDDIE GIBSON,
FIRST‐GRADE DETECTIVE."
IT’S GOT A RING TO IT.
LIKE A POEM.
THANKS, ANDY.
JOHN.
HI.
MEN, HERE I AM.
FRESH FROM MY FIRST PRE‐OP
AT THE CHIEF SURGEON’S.
HOW DID IT GO?
GOOD. MONDAY, 8:00 A. M.,
THEY CUT ME OPEN.
DOCTORS DO WONDERS
THESE DAYS.
MY UNCLE HAD COLON CANCER
BACK IN ’93 ‐‐
STILL KICKING.
EARLY DETECTION.
MY SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES?
5‐YEAR SURVIVAL RATE, 62%.
THAT DON’T SOUND SO BAD.
NOW THAT THE CAT’S OUT OF THE
BAG, I GOT A WHOLE NEW OUTLOOK.
I KNOW I’M GONNA BEAT
THIS THING.
THERE YOU GO.
ANYWAY, IT’S BEEN GOOD WORKING
WITH Y’ALL.
ANDY, GOT A SEC?
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
YEAH.
I’M ABOUT TO BEQUEATH TO YOU
THE CUSHIEST,
BEST‐PAYING MOONLIGHTING GIG
IN THE WORLD.
YEAH? DOING WHAT?
SECURITY WORK ‐‐ TUESDAY
AND THURSDAY EVENING
FOR A RICH WIDOW
ON PARK AVENUE.
I MET HER ON THE JOB
WHEN I WAS IN THE 19 SQUAD.
WHAT’S SHE NEED A BODYGUARD FOR,
SOMEBODY AFTER HER?
THE MAID GETS
TWO EVENINGS OFF,
AND MRS. HORNBY LIKES HAVING
SOMEONE AROUND.
I DON’T THINK SO.
DON’T BE TOO HASTY.
PAYS $200 A POP...IN CASH,
OFF THE BOOKS.
I, UH, I CAN’T DO IT.
I GOT THEO TO GET HOME TO.
YOUR KID IS WHO
YOU’RE DOING IT FOR.
THAT’S WHO I DID IT FOR.
THAT EXTRA $20 GRAND A YEAR
COMES IN VERY HANDY.
GOT A DOA DUMP JOB.
BODY FOUND IN A CAR ON
LAFAYETTE.
GO.
CATCH A BAD GUY.
YEAH.
SO THIS IS IT?
THIS IS IT.
WE’LL BE SEEING YOU AROUND,
EDDIE.
EDDIE, GOOD LUCK.
MANY THANKS.
JUNIOR,
I’LL MEET YOU DOWNSTAIRS.
YOU SAID TUESDAYS
AND THURSDAYS?
6:00 TO 10:00.
THAT’S THE MAID’S TIME OFF.
BUT SHE’S ALWAYS BACK
BY 10:00.
SO IT’S A BABYSITTING JOB.
$400‐A‐WEEK BABYSITTING JOB.
YOU INTERESTED?
YEAH, I THINK
MAYBE I MIGHT BE.
GREAT.
I’LL PUT YOU IN TOUCH WITH HER
BUSINESS MANAGER.
I’VE BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF TIME
GETTING MY DUCKS IN A ROW.
JUST IN CASE.
WEREN’T YOU JUST TELLING US
YOU’RE GONNA BEAT THIS THING?
SURE.
BUT YOU GOTTA PREPARE FOR
THE "WHAT IF..."
DON’T GET OBSESSED WITH THAT.
IT DOESN’T HELP.
EASIER SAID THAN DONE,
MY FRIEND.
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
I’M SCARED TO DEATH.
GONNA BE ALL RIGHT,
EDDIE.
YOU’LL GET THROUGH THIS.
RITA ORTIZ.
LIEUTENANT RODRIGUEZ.
OKAY, NOW I REMEMBER.
WE DID MEET ONCE.
JOHN FLAHERTY’S
RETIREMENT RACKET.
THAT’S RIGHT.
THAT’S RIGHT.
WHEN I SPOKE
TO YOUR HUSBAND,
I WAS RACKING MY BRAIN
WHERE WE’D MET.
OH, YOU’D JUST COME OUT OF
UNDERCOVER NARCOTICS THEN.
YEAH.
HOW DO YOU LIKE
BEING A BOSS?
I MISS THE ACTION.
I’M NOT GONNA LIE.
BUT YOU CAN ONLY DO THAT KIND OF
WORK FOR SO LONG, YOU KNOW.
YEAH, IT’S LIKE VICE.
I LIKED THE COP WORK,
BUT IT WAS TIME.
DON MENTIONED YOU WERE READY
TO GET OUT.
I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE TO LAND
HERE IN THE 15th.
I’M SURE YOU MUST’VE HAD
YOUR PICK.
I’M GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE.
THE OTHER DETECTIVES
RESPONDED TO A DUMP JOB
OVER ON LAFAYETTE.
HOOK UP WITH THEM THERE.
INTRODUCE YOURSELF.
YOU’LL BE PARTNERING UP WITH
CONNIE McDOWELL.
WHEN YOU GOT TIME,
I RECOMMEND YOU OBSERVE AS MANY
INTERVIEWS AS YOU CAN.
WELCOME ABOARD.
THANK YOU.
THE CAR’S REGISTERED TO
AN ELDERLY WOMAN IN BROOKLYN.
SHE REPORTED IT STOLEN
3 DAYS AGO.
DOA HISPANIC
WITH NO I. D.
WE SHOULD GET A CLEARANCE ON
THIS CASE
FOR JUST GETTING HIM I. D.’d,
LET ALONE FINDING OUT
WHO DID IT.
WE GOT A BURGLARY ME AND BALDWIN
GOTTA RESPOND TO.
WHAT DID YOU GUYS
GET CANVASSED?
BODEGA AND LAUNDRY ACROSS THE
STREET. NOTHING IN EITHER.
STOLEN PUPPIES
WE’RE RESPONDING TO.
YOU BETTER GET OVER THERE,
LIGHTS AND SIRENS.
DO YOU KNOW I HAVE GONE TO MAKE
NOTIFICATION TO NEXT OF KIN
ON A DEAD
COLOMBIAN DRUG DEALER?
I SHOWED THE PHOTO OF THE GUY
WITH THE 3 BULLET HOLES
IN THE HEAD
TO THE WIDOW AND IN FRONT OF
HIS 3 KIDS.
SHE FALLS APART,
AND 60 SECONDS LATER, SHE IS
LYING THROUGH HER TEETH ‐‐
SHE HAS NO IDEA HOW HER HUSBAND
MADE A LIVING.
MEANWHILE, SHE GOT A 60‐INCH
BIG‐SCREEN TV RIGHT BEHIND HER.
SHE’S GOTTA SURVIVE
IN THAT WORLD.
EVEN MOBSTER WIVES,
WHEN THEIR HUSBANDS GET WHACKED,
START POINTING THEIR FINGER.
NOT ON THE WITNESS STAND.
WHAT IS THIS,
POINT/COUNTERPOINT?
YOU GONNA CONTEST
EVERYTHING I SAY?
YOU WANNA PUT STRINGS IN OUR
BACKS YOU CAN PULL
WHEN YOU WANT OUR OPINION?
"YES, ANDY. YES, ANDY."
MY ORIGINAL POINT IS,
YOU GOT A DEAD HISPANIC
WITH NO I. D., YOU GOT THIS...
SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
CONNIE McDOWELL?
YEAH, THAT’S ME.
RITA ORTIZ ‐‐
I GUESS WE’RE PARTNERING UP.
OH, YEAH.
HEY, HOW’S IT GOING, RITA?
LIEUTENANT RODRIGUEZ MENTIONED
HE WAS TRYING TO GET YOU.
ANDY SIPOWICZ. JOHN CLARK.
HOW’S IT GOING?
NICE TO MEET YOU.
HI. I JUST SPOKE
WITH THE LIEUTENANT.
MISSING PERSONS HAS A REPORT,
FITS THE DESCRIPTION
OF THE DOA HERE ‐‐
UNCLE ON HIS NEPHEW.
THE NEPHEW’S ILLEGAL,
BEEN WORKING FOR HIS UNCLE’S
CONSTRUCTION COMPANY.
WE’LL CHECK THAT OUT.
GOOD.
HOW ABOUT NEXT TIME GIVING ME
A HEADS‐UP
SO I DON’T STEP ON MY DICK.
YES, ANDY.
YES, ANDY.
YES, ANDY.
HEARD WE GOT STOLEN PUPPIES.
YEAH. DROP EVERYTHING.
BUSTED WINDOW
BY THE FIRE ESCAPE,
BUT NOTHING MISSING
BUT THE MUTTS.
THEY’RE PUREBRED
ENGLISH BULLDOGS.
SORRY, SIR.
NAME’S RAY MAXWELL.
IT’S LIKE HE LOST HIS MOTHER.
CAN WE SPLIT?
YEAH.
HOW YOU DOING, MR. MAXWELL?
DETECTIVES JONES
AND MEDAVOY.
THIS IS BRIDGET.
SHE’S VERY UPSET.
I KNOW THAT THIS ISN’T
THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY,
BUT I CAN’T TELL YOU
HOW DISTRESSING THIS IS.
WELL, HOW MANY WERE TAKEN,
MR. MAXWELL?
5.
PIEBALD COLORING, ROSE EARS ‐‐
LITTLE GEMS.
YOU, UH, LIVE HERE ALONE?
WITH MY BUSINESS PARTNER CARTER.
HE’S AT A JOB INTERVIEW.
ANYONE YOU CAN THINK OF WHO
MIGHT’VE TAKEN THE DOGS?
ANYONE WHO KNEW
THEY WERE HERE.
I PUT A NOTICE OF THE LITTER
IN THE BULLDOGGER LAST WEEK.
I’VE ALREADY HAD HALF A DOZEN
INQUIRIES.
HOW MUCH ARE THE DOGS
WORTH APIECE?
$3,000.
YOU’RE KIDDING.
THE SIRE WAS A BRAZILIAN
GRAND CHAMPION,
AND BRIDGET WAS THE ’98
BEST IN BREED AT WESTMINSTER.
THAT IS A PLATINUM
BLOODLINE.
WE NEED THE NAMES OF THE PEOPLE
WHO MADE INQUIRIES.
AND IF YOU FILL OUT A REPORT,
WE’D APPRECIATE IT.
WE’LL ALSO WANT TO TALK
TO CARTER,
IF YOU COULD HAVE HIM
COME IN.
I’LL GET MY JACKET.
I CAN SEE YOUR WHEELS
TURNING.
$3,000 A POP?!
AREN’T YOU ALLERGIC
TO DOGS?
LONGHAIRS. NOT BULLDOGS.
I HAD A BULLDOG ‐‐ LUTHER.
I NEVER WOULD’VE LET MY EX‐WIFE
KEEP HIM
IF I’D KNOWN
WHAT HE WAS WORTH.
AND THINK ABOUT IT ‐‐
START‐UP‐WISE, ALL YOU NEED IS
DOG FOOD AND WATER.
I’M SURE IT’S MORE COMPLICATED
THAN THAT.
DON’T ASK ME TO GET INVOLVED.
NO, I’LL JUST CALL YOU
FROM PARK AVENUE.
...ESE CABLE
QUE ESTÁ ARRIBA.
ALLÁ!
ESO!
RENALDO MOLINA?
YES?
DETECTIVES McDOWELL,
ORTIZ.
WHAT’S WRONG?
YOU FILED
A MISSING‐PERSONS REPORT
ON YOUR NEPHEW, OSCAR MOLINA.
WE HAVE A PICTURE FOR YOU
TO LOOK AT.
CAN YOU TELL US
IF IT’S OSCAR?
HE’S DEAD. THIS MAN
YOU’RE GOING TO SHOW ME.
[ SIGHS ]
YEAH.
ARE YOU OKAY WITH THIS?
[ SIGHS ]
WE’RE VERY SORRY,
MR. MOLINA.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU SAW YOUR NEPHEW?
TWO DAYS AGO, WHEN THE I.N.S.
CAME TO TAKE HIM AWAY.
IMMIGRATION AGENTS TOOK OSCAR
AWAY TWO DAYS AGO,
AND HE HASN’T
BEEN SEEN SINCE?
DID YOU REPORT IT?
YES.
THE I. N. S. SAID
THEY’D LOOK INTO IT.
I DON’T HEAR BACK,
SO I CALLED THE POLICE
WHEN OSCAR DOESN’T SHOW
FOR WORK YESTERDAY.
THEY SAY, "MAKE A
MISSING‐PERSONS REPORT."
DID YOU GET A LOOK AT
THE AGENTS?
I SAW THEM,
BUT I WAS NOT CLOSE.
I HAVE A WORKER WHO WAS NEARBY
OSCAR AT THE TIME.
CAN YOU GET HIM FOR US?
HE’S HOME.
MY MEN ARE SCARED NOW.
IF YOU COULD GET US HIS NUMBER,
WE’D APPRECIATE IT.
I HAD A FRIEND WHO BRED
VIZSLAS.
THEY’RE LIKE HIS CHILDREN,
SO I CAN IMAGINE HOW YOU FEEL.
THANK YOU.
DO YOU HAVE A DOG?
HAD.
A BLACK COCKER WITH A WHITE
CREST ‐‐ HANK.
COCKERS ARE SWEETHEARTS.
GOOD DISPOSITION,
GREAT WITH KIDS ‐‐
A LOT LIKE BULLDOGS.
I HOPE THEY’RE OKAY.
I’M SORRY. I SHOULDN’T HAVE
BROUGHT UP DOGS.
YOU WERE BEING KIND.
THERE’S NEVER A REASON TO
APOLOGIZE FOR A KINDNESS.
MY GOD, RAY, WHAT A NIGHTMARE.
WHAT HAPPENED?
THEY BROKE IN
THE KITCHEN WINDOW
RIGHT BY THE FIRE ESCAPE.
TELL ME ‐‐ WHAT DID I SAY
ABOUT IRON BARS?
MAYBE NOW YOU’LL LISTEN TO ME
ON OCCASION.
CARTER LYNCH?
DETECTIVES MEDAVOY AND JONES.
WE’RE WORKING THE INVESTIGATION.
THEY ASKED IF I’D SEEN ANYONE
SUSPICIOUS
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD,
AND I REMEMBERED THAT MAN
THAT YOU SAW
BREAKING INTO THAT CAR.
YOU THINK HE WENT FROM STEALING
STEREOS TO PUREBRED PUPPIES?
Baldwin: WHEN DID YOU
SEE THIS HAPPEN?
FOUR MONTHS AGO,
AND I HAVEN’T SEEN HIM SINCE.
SO ‐‐ HIGHLY UNLIKELY.
I ASSUME RAY TOLD YOU ABOUT
THE INQUIRIES.
WE’VE CHECKED OUT EVERYONE WHO
INQUIRED ABOUT A PUPPY.
THEY ALL HAVE ALIBIS
FOR THIS MORNING.
THE PUPPIES ARE JUST GONE?
WELL, THE NEXT STEP IS TO NOTIFY
AREA PET SHOPS OF THE THEFT
AND HAVE YOU GUYS LOOK AT MUG
BOOKS OF LOCAL BURGLARS.
UNLESS THERE’S ANYONE ELSE YOU
THINK MIGHT’VE DONE THIS.
DID YOU TELL THEM ABOUT
LOIS DUNBAR?
NOW WHO’S BEING UNLIKELY?
LOIS DUNBAR WOULD LIKE
NOTHING MORE
THAN TO CLOSE US DOWN
FOR 6 MONTHS.
SHE OWNS A PET STORE
IN THE VILLAGE ‐‐
WASHINGTON SQUARE BARK.
SHE SELLS DOGS
FROM PUPPY MILLS,
STRICTLY AGAINST,
BUT I DOUBT
SHE WOULD DO THIS.
THEY NEARLY CAME TO BLOWS
OVER IT.
WE HAD A DISCUSSION LAST WEEK
AT A SHOW IN VIRGINIA
REGARDING AN EDITORIAL I HAD
WRITTEN IN THE BULLDOGGER.
I THINK IT’S SICK TO PROMOTE
DOG‐BREEDING TECHNIQUES
THAT RESEMBLE VEAL FARMING ‐‐
WHICH I ALSO OBJECT TO.
SO I PUT IT DOWN ON PAPER,
AND IT COST HER SOME BUSINESS.
WELL, HAS MS. DUNBAR
EVER BEEN TO YOUR HOME?
A FEW TIMES FOR
BULLDOG SOCIETY MEETINGS.
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
WE’LL CHECK HER OUT.
IN THE MEANTIME,
IF YOU WOULDN’T MIND
LOOKING AT THOSE MUG BOOKS,
WE’D APPRECIATE IT.
JOHN, COULD YOU GET THEM
UP TO ANTI‐CRIME?
OH. SURE.
I JUST DON’T SEE LOIS DOING
SOMETHING THIS CRUEL.
BECAUSE YOU LIVE IN
A FANTASY LAND
WHERE YOU THINK EVERYONE’S
GOOD AND KIND.
WHEREAS LOIS, GOD HELP HER,
IS FROM THE REAL WORLD.
[ DOOR SLAMS ]
AY, AY, AY.
SPECIAL AGENT MARK KOLBERG
FROM I. N. S.
YEAH, WE SPOKE.
HOW YOU DOING, MARK?
I LOOKED INTO IT,
AND THERE’S NO REPORT ON ANYBODY
BEING TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
FROM THE JOB SITE
TWO DAYS AGO ‐‐
WHICH DOESN’T MEAN
WE DON’T HAVE AGENTS
WHO COULD’VE BEEN
INVOLVED IN THIS.
YOU HAVE A FILE ON THE DOA?
NOTHING DOCUMENTED.
ANY INVESTIGATIONS RELATIVE TO
HIS EMPLOYER?
YEAH, WE’VE HAD DEALINGS
WITH MOLINA.
HE HAS A HISTORY OF HIRING
ILLEGALS,
AND WE’VE GOT AGENTS LEANING ON
HIM PRETTY GOOD.
ANY AGENTS IN PARTICULAR?
MIKE TORRES AND JOE RAMOS.
AND I’M GONNA TELL YOU,
WE’VE HAD A SERIES OF COMPLAINTS
AGAINST THEM.
FOR?
LET’S SAY
"OVERLY AGGRESSIVE."
WE HAVE AN INTERNAL
INVESTIGATION
ONGOING ON THEM FOR THAT.
PLUS, THEY’VE HAD
A LOT OF CONTACT
WITH MOLINA CONSTRUCTION.
I COULD SEE THEIR TACTICS
LEADING UP TO THIS.
LET’S TALK TO THEM.
I’D LIKE TO BE COPIED
ON ALL PAPERWORK.
I HOPE YOU’RE NOT DEPUTIZING US
TO TRY AND NAIL THESE AGENTS
FOR SOME INTERNAL AFFAIRS‐TYPE
PROBLEMS YOU GOT COOKING.
I WAS ASKED TO COME DOWN.
I’M TELLING YOU THE SITUATION
AS I SEE IT.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
WE’LL BRING THEM IN.
HAVE A SEAT, MS. DUNBAR.
THEN WE’LL BREAK THE SILENCE?
BECAUSE I’M CONFUSED
AS TO WHAT I DID THIS TIME.
HAD A FEW RUN‐INS
WITH THE LAW?
ONCE ‐‐ RECEIVING A SHIPMENT OF
MOLUCCAN COCKATOOS
THERE’S NO WAY I COULD HAVE
KNOWN WERE SMUGGLED.
HOW ABOUT BULLDOGS, MS. DUNBAR?
IS YOUR NOSE CLEAN THERE?
YES. WHY?
DO YOU KNOW RAY MAXWELL?
DOES HE ACTUALLY WANT ME
ARRESTED FOR INSULTING HIM?
TELL US YOUR SIDE.
HE WROTE AN EDITORIAL
IN A TRADE MAGAZINE
MAKING ABSURD GENERALIZATIONS
ABOUT PET STORES,
SO I CALLED HIM
A SEDITIOUS PRICK.
HE NEEDED TO KNOW
WE’RE NOT ALL MILLIONAIRES
WITH A CUTE HOBBY.
SOME OF US DO THIS FOR
A LIVING.
WHERE WERE YOU THIS MORNING
AROUND 8:00?
WHAT HAPPENED AT 8:00?
SOMEONE STOLE A LITTER OF
RAY MAXWELL’S PUPPIES.
AND RAY’S SAYING I DID IT?
WHO DOES HE THINK I AM,
CRUELLA DeVILLE?
IF IT’LL HELP, I WAS ON
THE PHONE WITH MY VENDORS
FROM 7:00 TILL WE OPENED.
THEY’LL BE HAPPY TO CONFIRM.
THEIR NUMBERS.
MS. DUNBAR...
WHAT’S THE GENERAL START‐UP COST
OF A DOG‐BREEDING OPERATION?
JUST PRETEND THAT WAS THE WIND.
JUST...KEEP WRITING.
HAVE A SEAT, GUYS.
WE’RE KIND OF BUSY.
IF YOU DON’T MIND,
MAYBE WE COULD JUST GET TO IT?
YOU GUYS PAY A VISIT
TO THE WORK SITE
MOLINA CONSTRUCTION’S GOT
AT 10th AND "C" TWO DAYS AGO?
NO.
YOU BEEN THERE BEFORE?
YEAH.
WHAT FOR?
YOU GUYS LOOKING
FOR OUR HELP,
OR IS THIS ABOUT
SOMETHING ELSE?
THIS IS ABOUT
SOMETHING ELSE.
TWO I. N. S. AGENTS FITTING
YOUR DESCRIPTION
PULLED A LABORER OFF THAT SITE
2 DAYS AGO.
TODAY, HE ENDS UP STRANGLED IN
THE FRONT SEAT OF A STOLEN CAR.
WE DIDN’T PULL NO ONE OFF
OF THAT JOB SITE,
AND WE DIDN’T STRANGLE NO ONE
IN NO STOLEN CAR.
WE PROBABLY WOULD’VE REMEMBERED
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
WHERE WERE YOU GUYS 2 DAYS AGO,
10:00 A. M.?
YOU LOOKING TO HANG US?
YOU SEE US THROWING A ROPE OVER
A TREE BRANCH?
WE’RE ASKING QUESTIONS
WE GOTTA ASK.
2 DAYS AGO, 10:00 A. M.,
WE WERE DOING A SURVEILLANCE ‐‐
WAREHOUSE DOWN BY THE DOCKS.
CAN ANYBODY VERIFY?
DID KOLBERG PUT YOU UP TO THIS?
IS THAT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT?
WE GOT A DOA.
THAT’S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
2 HISPANIC I. N. S. AGENTS WERE
LAST SEEN WITH THIS DOA.
ARE YOU REALLY WONDERING WHY
THE HELL WE BROUGHT YOU IN?
NOW, DON’T COMPOUND IT
WITH THE COWBOY ATTITUDE.
OKAY, OKAY, LOOK.
ME AND MY PARTNER HAVE BEEN
HASSLED BY OUR OWN DEPARTMENT
FOR THINGS WE DIDN’T DO ‐‐
MANY TIMES.
SO MAYBE YOU’LL EXCUSE US IF
WE’RE SENSITIVE TO ACCUSATIONS.
UNDERSTANDABLE.
WE DIDN’T PULL NO ONE OFF THAT
SITE, AND WE DIDN’T KILL NOBODY.
WE WERE ON SURVEILLANCE.
AND YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE
OUR WORD FOR IT,
BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH WE CHECKED
IN ONCE OR TWICE,
WE STAYED OFF THE RADIO FOR THE
MOST PART OF THAT MORNING.
PAST THAT, YOU’RE GONNA HAVE
TO TALK TO OUR DELEGATE.
ALL RIGHT.
I WANNA KNOW IF THEY CHECKED IN
AT ALL THAT DAY.
YEAH.
HOW DID IT GO?
WE’RE GONNA TRY AND VERIFY
THEIR STORY.
YOU LOCATE THAT WITNESS?
YEAH. BOTH HIM AND
THE DOA’S UNCLE
DIDN’T GIVE US MUCH PAST THE
I. N. S. AGENTS BEING HISPANIC,
BUT THEY’LL LOOK AT PHOTOS.
RUN A PHOTO ARRAY OF THE AGENTS
WHO WERE JUST HERE.
YEAH, WE’LL DO THAT.
WHAT WOULD THIS HAVE BEEN OVER
IF IT’S I. N. S.?
THE DOA THEIR SNITCH?
DON’T OVERLOOK THIS BEING
A SHAKEDOWN THAT WENT BAD.
IT HAPPENS.
I.N.S. DOES WHAT THEY WANT WHEN
IT COMES TO ILLEGAL ALIENS.
NO DUE PROCESS, NOTHING.
DOES THE WORD "ILLEGAL" MEAN
ANYTHING TO ANYBODY ANYMORE?
YEAH, BUT COME ON.
MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ARE HERE
BUSTING THEIR HUMP
DOING JOBS
NOBODY ELSE WANTS.
WE WERE ALL IMMIGRANTS
AT SOME POINT, RIGHT?
OR IS SIPOWICZ
A NAVAJO NAME?
NO, ABSOLUTELY.
OPEN THE BORDERS UP.
SEE WHAT OTHER HITS THIS COUNTRY
CAN TAKE.
I GOTTA GO TO LUNCH.
I’LL BE BACK.
DETECTIVE...
CORY BEACHAM ‐‐ MRS. HORNBY’S
BUSINESS MANAGER.
WE SPOKE ON THE PHONE.
ANDY SIPOWICZ.
DETECTIVE GIBSON FILLED YOU IN
ON SOME OF THE DETAILS?
SOME.
YOU’LL BE HERE AT 6:00 SHARP.
MARTA’S BACK BY 10:00,
AT WHICH POINT SHE’LL HAND YOU
AN ENVELOPE
CONTAINING $200 IN CASH.
THIS IS ALL ASSUMING THAT
MRS. HORNBY APPROVES OF YOU.
IF SHE DOES, WE’LL ASK YOU TO
SIGN A NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT.
ANYTHING YOU HEAR OR SEE
STAYS IN THE APARTMENT.
ANY QUESTIONS?
I GOT IT.
LET’S GET YOU INTRODUCED.
SUSAN?
DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ IS HERE.
SO, YOU’RE A POLICEMAN
LIKE EDDIE?
ACTUALLY, ME AND EDDIE
ARE DETECTIVES.
ARE YOU MARRIED?
MY WIFE PASSED AWAY
A COUPLE YEARS AGO.
OH, I’M SORRY.
MY HUSBAND, TOO ‐‐
JULY 31, 1988.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CHILDREN?
I HAVE ONE BOY.
DONALD AND I
NEVER HAD CHILDREN.
WELL, THEN.
SO, I’LL BE
SEEING YOU TONIGHT.
YEAH. I’LL SEE YOU TONIGHT.
I DON’T LIKE COLOGNE.
DID YOU TELL HIM
ABOUT THE COLOGNE?
I’M SORRY, I DIDN’T.
I DON’T WEAR IT,
SO IT WON’T BE A PROBLEM.
I SMELL COLOGNE.
THAT’S AFTERSHAVE.
WELL, IT’S DREADFUL.
IF YOU DON’T MIND, I’D ASK
THAT YOU DON’T WEAR IT.
I’LL WORK SOMETHING OUT.
SEE YOU TONIGHT!
OKAY, WE’LL BE THERE.
LET’S GO, PARTNER.
LOVELY BEAST PET STORE JUST GOT
AN INQUIRY FROM A GUY
LOOKING TO OFF‐LOAD
BULLDOG PUPS.
ARE THEY STALLING HIM
AT THE STORE?
NO. THEY TOLD HIM TO COME IN IN
AN HOUR WITH THE LITTER.
YOU RUN PHOTO LINEUPS OF THE
AGENTS FOR THE 2 WITNESSES?
THE WORKER
WHO SAW THEM CLOSEST
SAID IT MOST LIKELY WASN’T ANY
IN THE ARRAY,
BUT THE UNCLE POINTED OUT
AGENT RAMOS
AND SAID HE MIGHT’VE BEEN
ONE OF THE GUYS.
THE UNCLE KNOW
RAMOS AND TORRES
FROM PAST RUN‐INS AT HIS
BUSINESS?
HE DID. SO, YEAH,
YOU GOTTA FACTOR THAT IN.
BUT HE COULDN’T BE SURE
EITHER WAY.
BOTH WITNESSES
WERE INTIMIDATED
AT THE PROSPECT OF DEALING
WITH I. N. S.
YOU VERIFY THE AGENTS’ STORY?
YEAH. THEIR DISPATCH CONFIRMED
THAT TORRES AND RAMOS
DID RADIO IN A COUPLE TIMES
AROUND WHEN OUR DOA
GOT SNATCHED,
BUT DISPATCH DIDN’T KNOW THE
LOCATION OF THE TRANSMISSION,
SO IT DOESN’T MEAN THESE GUYS
WEREN’T INVOLVED.
HAVEN’T CAUGHT THEM IN A LIE,
AT LEAST.
GOT A COUPLE OF
FINGERPRINT HITS
OFF THE STOLEN CAR
THE DOA WAS IN,
ALL COMING BACK
TO A RAFAEL MERCADO ‐‐
SECURITY GUARD AT SUPER BARGAINS
UP ON 120th STREET,
SPANISH HARLEM.
YOU AND ANDY TAKE A RIDE.
IF YOU NEED HELP, CALL.
YEAH.
I’M PICKING UP
A SECURITY JOB.
YEAH?
I’M LOOKING AT 15 YEARS OF PAID
EDUCATION FOR THEO.
YOU’RE NOT GONNA FIND THAT
AT THE BOTTOM OF A BOX OF
CRACKER JACKS.
ONLY 2 NIGHTS A WEEK
AWAY FROM HIM.
YOU’RE LOOKING AHEAD.
YOU’RE BEING A GOOD DAD.
EXCUSE ME.
SECURITY GUARD
RAFAEL MERCADO?
THANKS.
HI.
TALK TO YOU FOR A SECOND?
SURE.
GET HIM. GET HIM!
AAAH!
Junior: YOU OKAY?
GO! GO!
MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!
MOVE!
YOU GOT HIM?
YEAH. YOU OKAY, ANDY?
YEAH. NOW LET’S GET HIM
OUT OF HERE.
WELL...IT’S CONCEIVABLE YOU
COULD MAKE THAT MUCH, BUT ‐‐
HEY, KAREN. WOULD YOU LIKE
TO TRY ONE OF THESE?
LET ME KNOW
WHAT YOU THINK.
WHAT A PRETTY LITTLE DOG.
WHAT’S HER NAME?
HIS NAME IS JOHNNY.
Whew.
SO, THE START‐UP COST OF
BREEDING BULLDOG PUPPIES
IS $3,000
WITH A POTENTIAL
ANNUAL RETURN OF $50,000.
DIDN’T ASK.
ESSENTIALLY THAT 3 GRAND IS JUST
THE COST OF THE BITCH.
THE SERVICES OF THE MALE
YOU HIRE OUT FOR.
AND THEN YOU JUST INTRODUCE THEM
AND PUT THEM IN A ROOM
WITH MOOD LIGHTING
AND A BARRY WHITE RECORD?
[ CHUCKLES ] NO. NO, NO.
THEY DON’T MATE WELL ‐‐
TOO MUCH BELLY.
THE BITCH NEEDS TO BE
INSEMINATED.
ARTIFICIALLY, HUH?
WHAT’S THE PROCESS THERE?
THE SPERM IS INTRODUCED WITH
A DEVICE ‐‐ LIKE A DROPPER.
HOW DO YOU GET THE SPERM
IN THE FIRST PLACE?
YOU DRAW IT OUT
WITH A SYRINGE?
YOU PUT A RECEPTACLE DEVICE
AROUND THE MALE
AND ‐‐ YOU KNOW.
IT’S A MANUAL DEAL.
MANUAL?
LIKE...LIKE...
MANIPULATION, YEAH.
SO THAT’S WHAT ALL
THE TAIL‐WAGGING’S ABOUT.
ARE YOU LARRY?
I SURE AM.
EXCUSE ME.
WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
TOM.
WHAT YOU GOT
IN THE BOX THERE, TOM?
PUPPIES.
AW.
WHERE’D YOU GET THEM FROM?
FROM MY DOG.
YEAH? WE’RE GONNA
BRING YOU IN AND VERIFY THAT.
MY DOG’S OUT OF TOWN.
A LITTLE DOGGY VACATION?
SOMEBODY TOOK MY DOG
OUT OF TOWN.
RIGHT.
COME ON.
I USED TO BE A COP...
IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.
DID YOU RUN AWAY
WHEN YOU WERE A COP, TOO?
MY TOURIST VISA EXPIRED.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE I. N. S.
HOW LONG WERE YOU A COP?
FIVE YEAR.
YEAH? TRY AND JOIN UP
OUT HERE?
NO HIGH‐SCHOOL DIPLOMA.
I TELL THEM WHAT I KNOW
ABOUT THE STREET.
THAT’S 10 TIMES MORE THAN
A DAMN HIGH‐SCHOOL DIPLOMA.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT OSCAR MOLINA?
I DON’T.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
A JOB SITE AT 10th AND "C"?
NOTHING.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT A STOLEN
CAR TAKEN OUT OF BROOKLYN?
YOU PROBABLY NEVER WERE
A COP.
WHY WOULD YOU SAY SOMETHING
LIKE THAT?
WE’VE GOT YOUR FINGERPRINTS
ON THAT STOLEN CAR.
MAYBE A FRIEND OF MINE GIVE ME
A RIDE IN ONE THAT’S STOLEN.
BACK TO OSCAR MOLINA.
I SEE HIM AROUND.
YEAH? WHERE?
PEOPLE POINT HIM OUT.
THAT’S THE GUY WHO HAS SEX
WITH CHILDREN.
I STAY AWAY FROM HIM.
HE MOLEST ANYBODY CLOSE
TO YOU?
IF HE DID,
WE COULD UNDERSTAND
HOW THAT WOULD MAKE YOU
WANT TO HURT HIM.
I TELL YOU WHAT I HEARD.
HE RAPES KIDS.
DO YOU KNOW ANYBODY
WHO WANTED TO HURT HIM?
YOU SEE, THAT’S THE PROBLEM
WITH YOU GUYS HERE.
BACK HOME,
A MOLESTER IS KILLED.
THAT IS GOD MAKING EVERYTHING
TAKE CARE OF ITSELF.
IT’S NOT FOR THE POLICE
TO WORRY ABOUT.
WHY WORRY ABOUT IT?
HOW’D YOU MAKE OUT?
HE’S PLAYING GAMES.
DID YOU RUN A PHOTO LINEUP
ON THIS GUY?
A WORKER PICKED HIM OUT
AS ONE OF THE I. N. S. AGENTS.
BUT THE UNCLE SAYS NO WAY
HE WAS ONE OF THEM.
HE WAS FURTHER AWAY
THAN ANY WORKERS.
WE WENT OVER IT.
HE’S SAYING NO WAY.
THIS GUY SAYS THE DOA
IS A KNOWN PEDOPHILE.
IF IT’S TRUE,
THAT OPENS IT UP.
THE DOA WORKED FOR HIS UNCLE,
RIGHT? LIVED WITH HIM?
YEAH.
THE UNCLE HAVE KIDS?
DIDN’T GET THAT FAR.
GO BY HIS HOME.
LOOK INTO IT.
YOU AND RITA.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU WATCH.
ANY OPENING,
HE’S BRINGING HIS PEOPLE IN.
ISN’T THAT TRADITION
ON THE JOB?
THEY DIDN’T CALL IT
IRISH WELFARE FOR NOTHING.
YES, ANDY. YES, ANDY.
YES, ANDY.
THAT BALL‐BREAKER.
THANKS.
ANYTIME.
EVERYTHING WORK OUT
WITH THE DOGS?
ACTUALLY, TOM,
WE HIT A SNAG.
WHERE WERE YOU THIS MORNING
AROUND 8:00?
MY APARTMENT.
WHAT KIND OF SNAG?
ANYONE WITH YOU?
JUST THE DOGGIES.
EVER BEEN
TO 1791 SPRING STREET?
DOUBT IT.
THE GROCER ACROSS THE STREET SAW
A GUY LOOKING LIKE YOU
LEAVE 1791 SPRING STREET AT 8:00
HOLDING A BIG BOX.
AFTER HE POSITIVELY
IDENTIFIES YOU, TOM,
YOU’LL BE FACING
A BURGLARY CHARGE.
THIS IS UNREAL.
WHAT LED YOU
TO THE PUPPIES?
A GUY WHO COMES INTO THIS CLUB
I GO TO.
I DON’T EVEN LIKE DOGS,
BUT HE OFFERS ME 1,000 BUCKS.
WHO’S THE GUY?
CARTER SOMETHING.
LYNCH?
THAT’S IT.
HE GAVE ME A KEY,
TOLD ME WHERE TO GO,
SAID TO MAKE SURE I BUST IN BY
THE FIRE ESCAPE, EASY GRAND.
TWO MORE, YOU COULD
HAVE YOURSELF A BUSINESS.
WHAT WAS THE PLAN FOR
AFTER HE TOOK THE DOGS?
I WAS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THEM
THE WEEK,
AND THEN HE WAS GONNA
GET THEM.
WHAT MADE YOU SELL THEM?
I JUST COULDN’T TAKE THOSE
LITTLE NIGHTMARES ANYMORE.
I COULDN’T REACH CARTER,
SO I FOUND THIS PET SHOP
AND ASKED HOW MUCH
THEY PAID FOR PUPPIES.
WHEN YOU SAY YOU COULDN’T TAKE
THOSE NIGHTMARES ANYMORE,
WHAT DID YOU MEAN?
IN THE SPACE OF FIVE HOURS,
I HAD LIQUID DOG GRAVY
ON MY FLOOR, ON MY RUG,
EVEN IN MY SHOE.
YOU KNOW HOW PUPPIES ARE
CONSTANTLY YIPPING?
MULTIPLY THAT BY FIVE
AND THEN COVER
EVERYTHING YOU OWN
IN THE MOST FOUL‐SMELLING URINE
AND FECES,
AND YOU’LL HAVE SOME IDEA OF
WHAT MY MORNING WAS LIKE.
EASY MONEY.
WRITE DOWN
ABOUT THE BURGLARY.
YES?
THIS RENALDO MOLINA’S
APARTMENT? YOU ARE?
I’M MARIA, HIS WIFE.
DETECTIVES ORTIZ
AND McDOWELL.
RENALDO’S NOT HERE.
YEAH, WE KNOW.
CAN WE COME IN?
OKAY.
WHO ELSE LIVES HERE?
JUST RENALDO AND ME.
EITHER OF YOU
HAVE CHILDREN?
NO. NOT YET.
DID YOU KNOW
HIS NEPHEW OSCAR?
HE LIVED HERE?
YES, BUT HE MOVED.
I DON’T KNOW WHERE HE LIVES NOW.
LIVES?
OSCAR’S DEAD.
WHEN?
HOW?
LAST COUPLE DAYS,
AND WE DON’T KNOW.
YOU AND OSCAR
WERE FRIENDS?
A LITTLE BIT.
WAS YOUR HUSBAND JEALOUS
OF YOU AND OSCAR?
WERE YOU SLEEPING
WITH OSCAR?
NO!
BUT YOUR HUSBAND THOUGHT
YOU WERE?
WE HAVE OTHER DETECTIVES
TALKING TO PEOPLE
WHO SAW WHAT HAPPENED.
WE’RE GONNA FIND OUT
HOW OSCAR GOT KILLED.
IF YOU STAND BETWEEN US
AND THE TRUTH,
YOU’LL END UP GETTING HURT.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
DON’T LIE TO US, MARIA.
I DON’T KNOW!
HOW LONG HAVE YOU
LIVED IN THE U. S.?
THREE YEARS.
DID YOUR HUSBAND BRING YOU FROM
THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC?
YES.
NOW, I WANT THE TRUTH.
DID YOUR HUSBAND THINK THAT YOU
AND OSCAR WERE TOGETHER?
DID YOUR HUSBAND
THREATEN OSCAR?
HE SAY HE’D KILL HIM?
YOU NEED TO GET
A PHOTO OF YOUR HUSBAND.
THEY WEREN’T HAVING SEX.
HER HUSBAND
TAKES OUT THE NEPHEW
JUST FOR MAKING EYES
AT HER?
I CAN BELIEVE IT.
WE MIGHT HAVE A BREAKTHROUGH
HERE, RAFAEL.
OKAY.
THIS GUY HIRE YOU TO KILL THAT
MAN TWO DAYS AGO?
THAT GUY THAT WAS KILLED WAS
A CHILD MOLESTER.
THAT WAS NO MOLESTER,
RAFAEL.
THE GUY WHO GOT KILLED WAS
TRYING TO SCREW THIS GUY’S WIFE.
NO.
YES.
AND THE MACHISMO KICKED IN.
HE TOLD YOU A STORY
THAT WOULD MAKE YOU WANT
TO BRING JUSTICE.
IT’S A LIE, RAFAEL.
DON’T PROTECT HIM.
YOU’RE FORGETTING
I WAS A COP.
I KNOW ABOUT TELLING LIES
TO GET PEOPLE’S HEAD SPINNING.
YOU GOT FAMILY OUT HERE?
YEAH.
THEY ALL LEGAL?
IF YOU KEEP LYING ABOUT YOUR
INVOLVEMENT IN THIS,
I WILL ROUND UP EVERY FAMILY
MEMBER, EVERY FRIEND,
ANYBODY THAT YOU EVER HAD
A CONVERSATION WITH,
AND WHOEVER ISN’T LEGAL IS ON
THE FIRST PLANE OUT OF HERE.
I WILL TELL THEM THAT RAFAEL
BOUGHT THEIR TICKET.
I AM THAT PISSED,
AND I WILL DO IT!
YOU KNOW THAT GUY WAS NOT
A CHILD MOLESTER?
HE FLIRTED
WITH THIS GUY’S WIFE.
WHAT HAPPENS TO HIM?
HE’S GONNA GET LOCKED UP.
DID THIS GUY MOLINA
HIRE YOU?
YEAH, FOR $2,000.
ALL RIGHT,
TWO GUYS PICKED HIM UP.
WHO’S THE OTHER GUY
YOU DID IT WITH?
I’LL NEVER TELL YOU.
IT WAS ME. I BROUGHT HIM IN.
RAFAEL, YOU CAN SAVE YOURSELF
A LOT OF YEARS
IF YOU TELL US WHO ELSE
WAS IN ON IT.
YEAH, I KNOW HOW IT WORKS,
BUT I AIN’T GONNA DO IT.
ANYWAY, HE’S BACK IN THE
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.
I’LL TAKE WHATEVER’S COMING.
WE CAN RESPECT THAT.
YOU LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE.
ALL RIGHT.
LET’S GO.
THE LIEUTENANT SUGGESTED I LOOK
IN ON INTERVIEWS.
IT WOULD BE NICE
IF SOMEBODY TOLD ME.
SORRY.
IS IT OKAY THAT I DO?
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
YEAH, SURE.
LOOK,
WHAT I SAID IN THERE
ABOUT ROUNDING UP
HIS FAMILY ‐‐
IT WAS A GOOD INTERVIEW.
THERE’S THREATS
TO GET PEOPLE TO GO,
AND THERE’S WHAT
YOU’RE REALLY DOING.
I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.
IT WAS A GOOD INTERVIEW.
SO NOW YOU GO
GRAB UP THE UNCLE?
YEAH.
YOU WANT TO TAKE A RIDE?
SURE.
I DON’T UNDERSTAND THE PRIVATE
ASPECT OF THIS.
WHY CAN’T RAY COME IN?
WE SPOKE WITH TOM BURRIS.
HE TOLD US
HOW YOU SET THIS UP.
[ CHUCKLES ] I DON’T KNOW
ANY TOM BURRIS.
THAT’S NOT HOW YOU WANT TO PLAY
THIS, MR. LYNCH.
TELL US WHAT HAPPENED,
AND MAYBE THIS COULD BE SETTLED
OUTSIDE A COURTROOM.
RAY DESCRIBED YOU TWO AS
PARTNERS IN A DOG BREEDING,
BUT IS THERE MORE TO IT
THAN THAT?
THERE WAS.
WE BROKE UP.
YOU STILL LIVE TOGETHER. IT
COULDN’T HAVE BEEN TOO NASTY.
IT WASN’T PLEASANT,
BUT SINCE NOTHING PHASES RAY,
HE SAID I COULD STAY
UNTIL I FOUND A NEW PLACE.
SO YOU ARRANGED THE BURGLARY
FOR MOVING‐OUT MONEY?
I MIGHT HAVE MENTIONED
TO TOM
THAT THERE WAS SOME VALUABLE
PUPPIES IN THE LOFT.
IS THIS AFTER YOU GAVE HIM A KEY
AND TOLD HIM YOU’D MEET HIM?
RAY SHOULD SHARE
SOME OF THE BLAME.
HE GOT ME USED TO A LIFESTYLE
WAY BEYOND MY MEANS.
THAT’S YOUR REASON
FOR RIPPING HIM OFF?
HE’S WEALTHY.
I’M OUT OF WORK.
HE PAYS FOR MEALS, FOR CABS,
FOR CLOTHES.
I’M SORRY, BUT I STARTED
TO FEEL WORTHLESS.
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT US
TO TELL HIM?
I WANTED THE MONEY
AND A SENSE OF INDEPENDENCE,
SO I ACTED
OUT OF FRUSTRATION.
BUT REALLY I HOPED THAT HE WOULD
TURN TO ME FOR SUPPORT
AND MAYBE TAKE ME BACK.
THAT’S THE TRUTH.
WE’LL TALK TO HIM.
WE EXPLAINED THE SITUATION
TO MR. MAXWELL,
AND HE SAID IF LYNCH WAS
OUT BY TONIGHT,
HE WOULDN’T PRESS CHARGES.
WELL, THE LAST THING I NEED IS
A RELUCTANT COMPLAINANT.
WE’LL MAKE SURE
LYNCH VACATES?
WE’LL SEND HIM
WITH UNIFORMED COPS.
PUT IT IN YOUR REPORTS
AND SEND ME A COPY.
I’LL GET LYNCH.
DO YOU NEED SOMEONE TO INFORM
MR. MAXWELL?
YOU VOLUNTEERING?
HE AND I HAD A CONVERSATION
EARLIER,
AND ANY EXCUSE
TO LOOK AT THOSE PUPPIES...
BY ALL MEANS.
GO, TIGER.
OUR ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY
AGREED TO THE TERMS
YOU DECIDED ON
REGARDING MR. LYNCH.
GOOD.
IT’S BEST FOR EVERYONE.
I CONFESS
I OVERHEARD THE TERMS,
AND I THINK YOUR EQUANIMITY
IS ADMIRABLE.
AGAIN, THANK YOU.
BEST OF LUCK.
DO YOU GO TO THE THEATER?
WHENEVER I CAN.
CARTER AND I WERE SUPPOSED
TO GO TONIGHT,
BUT...[ CLEARS THROAT ]
WOULD YOU LIKE TICKETS
TO "THE PRODUCERS"?
THEY WERE A GIFT
FROM NATHAN LANE’S MANAGER,
SO THEY SHOULD BE GOOD.
YOU’RE GIVING AWAY HOUSE SEATS
TO "THE PRODUCERS"?
I’M JUST NOT IN THE MOOD.
THAT’S LIKE SAYING YOU’RE NOT IN
THE MOOD TO WIN THE LOTTERY.
I‐I COULDN’T TAKE THEM.
YOU’VE GOT TO GO.
HOW ABOUT IF YOU WENT
WITH ME?
I’D LOVE TO...
TRULY...
BUT I PROMISED ONE OF
THE DETECTIVES I WOULD BABYSIT.
SOME OTHER TIME THEN.
NO, WAIT.
GIVE ME A HALF‐HOUR,
AND I’LL WORK SOMETHING OUT.
DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ ‐‐
DID THEO
GET DROPPED OFF YET?
DETECTIVE McDOWELL’S
WATCHING HIM.
I NEED A MOMENT
THE MINUTE YOU’RE FREE.
HEY, BOSS.
MOLINA LAWYERED UP.
HE COOKED UP THIS
I. N. S. SCHEME?
ON ACCOUNT THE DOA WAS FLIRTING
WITH HIS OLD LADY.
HE’S BEING PROCESSED, AND I’LL
GET HIM TO CENTRAL BOOKING.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT, LIEUTENANT.
HEY, RITA,
FIRST DAY IN THE SQUAD.
WE GOT TO BUY YOU A BEER.
IT’S A TRADITION.
UM, YEAH.
I GOT AN HOUR BEFORE
I MEET MY HUSBAND.
PLENTY OF TIME.
YOU KNOW I TAKE BABYSITTING THEO
VERY SERIOUSLY,
AND I WOULD NEVER CANCEL
AT THE LAST MINUTE.
YOU GOTTA CANCEL NOW?
I TALKED WITH McDOWELL,
AND SHE AGREED TO TAKE MY PLACE.
BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUALMS
AT ALL, SAY SO,
AND THE ISSUE IS CLOSED.
WHAT’S SO URGENT?
I’VE BEEN INVITED
TO SEE "THE PRODUCERS"
IN NATHAN LANE’S SEATS.
AND HE IS?
OH, DETECTIVE,
IT’S MANNA FROM HEAVEN.
BUT I MADE A COMMITMENT,
AND I’LL HAPPILY STICK BY IT.
NO, IT’S FINE.
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
IT’S NOT A PROBLEM.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
DON’T LET HER GET TOO SMASHED,
EH?
HERE’S MY PAGER NUMBER.
DON’T CALL ME UNLESS IT’S
AN EXTREME EMERGENCY.
DETECTIVE!
ARE WE READY TO HAVE SOME FUN,
KICK UP OUR HEELS?
UH...
I’LL PLAY THE PIANO,
AND YOU CAN SING.
I‐I DON’T SING.
YOU CAN, THOUGH.
HOW ’BOUT WE PLAY SOME CARDS
THEN?
IF YOU WANT.
GIN RUMMY.
EDDIE ALWAYS LETS ME WIN.
WOULD YOU BE A LOVE
AND POUR ME JUST A DROP
OF SHERRY?
[ SIGHS ] YEAH.
HMM?
MM‐HMM.
[ SIGHS ]
OH!
THERE YOU GO.
YOU DEAL.
OKAY.
[ SIGHS ]
OH, DEAR!
YOU’RE NOT GOING
TO GET THAT?
NOPE. LOOKS LIKE YOU PREFER IT
ON THE FLOOR.
WELL, I DON’T.
FETCH A TOWEL AND CLEAN IT UP.
FETCH?
NO, I DON’T THINK SO.

NOW, GET OVER HERE
AND SING WITH ME!
LISTEN, MRS. HORNBY, WE BETTER
GET A FEW THINGS CLEAR.
I WANT YOU TO SING. HOW MUCH
MORE CLEAR DO I HAVE TO BE?
I TOOK THIS JOB
TO PROTECT YOU.
BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU’RE LOOKING FOR
ANOTHER MAID OR A BABYSITTER.
EDDIE DIDN’T HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH THAT.
I’M NOT EDDIE. I DON’T SING,
AND I DON’T FETCH.
YOU ARE MAKING ME VERY UNHAPPY
RIGHT NOW!
YOU LISTEN TO ME.
I’M GONNA GO SIT
BY THE DOOR.
I’M GONNA WAIT FOR YOUR MAID

I’M OUT OF HERE.
TOMORROW YOU CAN ADVERTISE

FINE!
He fell asleep watching TV.
MNH‐MNH.
CAN YOU SLIDE OUT?
DADDY?
YEAH, BUDDY.
I’LL BE BACK IN A MINUTE.
YOU JUST SIT TIGHT.
I MADE HIM A LUNCH FOR SCHOOL
TOMORROW.
IT’S IN THE FRIDGE.
YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO DO THAT.
I JUST MADE A SANDWICH.
ALSO, HE SAID HE WAS ALLOWED
TO WATCH TV
WHILE HE DOES HIS HOMEWORK.
NO. HE’S PLAYING YOU.
I FIGURED,
SO I HELD HIM OFF
UNTIL HE FINISHED.
HOW’S THE SECURITY JOB?
THIS WOMAN IS A NUT CASE.
I’M NOT GOING BACK.
WELL,
IF THERE’S ANY CHANGE
OR SOMETHING COMES UP
AND JOHN’S BUSY,
I’D BE HAPPY TO SIT AGAIN.
THEN FOR THE FUTURE,
IT’S BETTER IF YOU HAVE HIM
GO TO SLEEP IN HIS OWN BED.
HE CAN BE A HARD TRANSFER.
DONE.
Oh, uh...
DOES HE GET
ONE SANDWICH OR TWO?
ONE.
HE SAID TWO. I GAVE HIM ONE
AND ONLY ONE PUDDING.
THERE YOU GO.
GOOD NIGHT, ANDY.
AND I’M SERIOUS. ANYTIME YOU
WANT ME TO WATCH HIM...
GOOD NIGHT.
I KNOW YOU GOT CANCER.
YOU BELONG ON MEDICAL LEAVE.
CYNTHIA TOLD YOU?
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
YOU EVER MEET MY WIFE ‐‐
RITA ORTIZ?
MAYBE. IRAQ.
SHE’S GOT ME SCOUTING SQUADS.
SHE’S LOOKING
TO MAKE A CHANGE.
WHERE IS SHE NOW?
O.C.C.B. VICE.
I HEARD YOU WERE HERE,
FIGURED SHE COULDN’T DO BETTER.
FACT IS, WE’RE FULL UP.
ANY CHANGE, RITA WILL BE
MY FIRST CALL.
Andy: HE’S GOT CANCER.
HE WON’T GET TREATMENT
’CAUSE HE’S WORRIED
THAT HIS FAMILY WON’T BE
PROVIDED FOR IF HE DIES.
I GUESS THAT EXPLAINS
HIS BEHAVIOR.
SOME OF IT.
THE REST IS JUST HIM.
YOU’RE GETTING PROMOTED TO
FIRST‐GRADE.
WE BOTH KNOW I DIDN’T EARN THIS.
IT’S FALSE PRETENSES.
YOU GOT 28 YEARS ON THE JOB.
YOU EARNED IT.
TAKE A MEDICAL LEAVE.
GET YOURSELF WELL.
"EDDIE GIBSON,
FIRST‐GRADE DETECTIVE."
IT’S GOT A RING TO IT.
LIKE A POEM.
THANKS, ANDY.
JOHN.
HI.
MEN, HERE I AM.
FRESH FROM MY FIRST PRE‐OP
AT THE CHIEF SURGEON’S.
HOW DID IT GO?
GOOD. MONDAY, 8:00 A. M.,
THEY CUT ME OPEN.
DOCTORS DO WONDERS
THESE DAYS.
MY UNCLE HAD COLON CANCER
BACK IN ’93 ‐‐
STILL KICKING.
EARLY DETECTION.
MY SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES?
5‐YEAR SURVIVAL RATE, 62%.
THAT DON’T SOUND SO BAD.
NOW THAT THE CAT’S OUT OF THE
BAG, I GOT A WHOLE NEW OUTLOOK.
I KNOW I’M GONNA BEAT
THIS THING.
THERE YOU GO.
ANYWAY, IT’S BEEN GOOD WORKING
WITH Y’ALL.
ANDY, GOT A SEC?
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
YEAH.
I’M ABOUT TO BEQUEATH TO YOU
THE CUSHIEST,
BEST‐PAYING MOONLIGHTING GIG
IN THE WORLD.
YEAH? DOING WHAT?
SECURITY WORK ‐‐ TUESDAY
AND THURSDAY EVENING
FOR A RICH WIDOW
ON PARK AVENUE.
I MET HER ON THE JOB
WHEN I WAS IN THE 19 SQUAD.
WHAT’S SHE NEED A BODYGUARD FOR,
SOMEBODY AFTER HER?
THE MAID GETS
TWO EVENINGS OFF,
AND MRS. HORNBY LIKES HAVING
SOMEONE AROUND.
I DON’T THINK SO.
DON’T BE TOO HASTY.
PAYS $200 A POP...IN CASH,
OFF THE BOOKS.
I, UH, I CAN’T DO IT.
I GOT THEO TO GET HOME TO.
YOUR KID IS WHO
YOU’RE DOING IT FOR.
THAT’S WHO I DID IT FOR.
THAT EXTRA $20 GRAND A YEAR
COMES IN VERY HANDY.
GOT A DOA DUMP JOB.
BODY FOUND IN A CAR ON
LAFAYETTE.
GO.
CATCH A BAD GUY.
YEAH.
SO THIS IS IT?
THIS IS IT.
WE’LL BE SEEING YOU AROUND,
EDDIE.
EDDIE, GOOD LUCK.
MANY THANKS.
JUNIOR,
I’LL MEET YOU DOWNSTAIRS.
YOU SAID TUESDAYS
AND THURSDAYS?
6:00 TO 10:00.
THAT’S THE MAID’S TIME OFF.
BUT SHE’S ALWAYS BACK
BY 10:00.
SO IT’S A BABYSITTING JOB.
$400‐A‐WEEK BABYSITTING JOB.
YOU INTERESTED?
YEAH, I THINK
MAYBE I MIGHT BE.
GREAT.
I’LL PUT YOU IN TOUCH WITH HER
BUSINESS MANAGER.
I’VE BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF TIME
GETTING MY DUCKS IN A ROW.
JUST IN CASE.
WEREN’T YOU JUST TELLING US
YOU’RE GONNA BEAT THIS THING?
SURE.
BUT YOU GOTTA PREPARE FOR
THE "WHAT IF..."
DON’T GET OBSESSED WITH THAT.
IT DOESN’T HELP.
EASIER SAID THAN DONE,
MY FRIEND.
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
I’M SCARED TO DEATH.
GONNA BE ALL RIGHT,
EDDIE.
YOU’LL GET THROUGH THIS.
RITA ORTIZ.
LIEUTENANT RODRIGUEZ.
OKAY, NOW I REMEMBER.
WE DID MEET ONCE.
JOHN FLAHERTY’S
RETIREMENT RACKET.
THAT’S RIGHT.
THAT’S RIGHT.
WHEN I SPOKE
TO YOUR HUSBAND,
I WAS RACKING MY BRAIN
WHERE WE’D MET.
OH, YOU’D JUST COME OUT OF
UNDERCOVER NARCOTICS THEN.
YEAH.
HOW DO YOU LIKE
BEING A BOSS?
I MISS THE ACTION.
I’M NOT GONNA LIE.
BUT YOU CAN ONLY DO THAT KIND OF
WORK FOR SO LONG, YOU KNOW.
YEAH, IT’S LIKE VICE.
I LIKED THE COP WORK,
BUT IT WAS TIME.
DON MENTIONED YOU WERE READY
TO GET OUT.
I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE TO LAND
HERE IN THE 15th.
I’M SURE YOU MUST’VE HAD
YOUR PICK.
I’M GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE.
THE OTHER DETECTIVES
RESPONDED TO A DUMP JOB
OVER ON LAFAYETTE.
HOOK UP WITH THEM THERE.
INTRODUCE YOURSELF.
YOU’LL BE PARTNERING UP WITH
CONNIE McDOWELL.
WHEN YOU GOT TIME,
I RECOMMEND YOU OBSERVE AS MANY
INTERVIEWS AS YOU CAN.
WELCOME ABOARD.
THANK YOU.
THE CAR’S REGISTERED TO
AN ELDERLY WOMAN IN BROOKLYN.
SHE REPORTED IT STOLEN
3 DAYS AGO.
DOA HISPANIC
WITH NO I. D.
WE SHOULD GET A CLEARANCE ON
THIS CASE
FOR JUST GETTING HIM I. D.’d,
LET ALONE FINDING OUT
WHO DID IT.
WE GOT A BURGLARY ME AND BALDWIN
GOTTA RESPOND TO.
WHAT DID YOU GUYS
GET CANVASSED?
BODEGA AND LAUNDRY ACROSS THE
STREET. NOTHING IN EITHER.
STOLEN PUPPIES
WE’RE RESPONDING TO.
YOU BETTER GET OVER THERE,
LIGHTS AND SIRENS.
DO YOU KNOW I HAVE GONE TO MAKE
NOTIFICATION TO NEXT OF KIN
ON A DEAD
COLOMBIAN DRUG DEALER?
I SHOWED THE PHOTO OF THE GUY
WITH THE 3 BULLET HOLES
IN THE HEAD
TO THE WIDOW AND IN FRONT OF
HIS 3 KIDS.
SHE FALLS APART,
AND 60 SECONDS LATER, SHE IS
LYING THROUGH HER TEETH ‐‐
SHE HAS NO IDEA HOW HER HUSBAND
MADE A LIVING.
MEANWHILE, SHE GOT A 60‐INCH
BIG‐SCREEN TV RIGHT BEHIND HER.
SHE’S GOTTA SURVIVE
IN THAT WORLD.
EVEN MOBSTER WIVES,
WHEN THEIR HUSBANDS GET WHACKED,
START POINTING THEIR FINGER.
NOT ON THE WITNESS STAND.
WHAT IS THIS,
POINT/COUNTERPOINT?
YOU GONNA CONTEST
EVERYTHING I SAY?
YOU WANNA PUT STRINGS IN OUR
BACKS YOU CAN PULL
WHEN YOU WANT OUR OPINION?
"YES, ANDY. YES, ANDY."
MY ORIGINAL POINT IS,
YOU GOT A DEAD HISPANIC
WITH NO I. D., YOU GOT THIS...
SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
CONNIE McDOWELL?
YEAH, THAT’S ME.
RITA ORTIZ ‐‐
I GUESS WE’RE PARTNERING UP.
OH, YEAH.
HEY, HOW’S IT GOING, RITA?
LIEUTENANT RODRIGUEZ MENTIONED
HE WAS TRYING TO GET YOU.
ANDY SIPOWICZ. JOHN CLARK.
HOW’S IT GOING?
NICE TO MEET YOU.
HI. I JUST SPOKE
WITH THE LIEUTENANT.
MISSING PERSONS HAS A REPORT,
FITS THE DESCRIPTION
OF THE DOA HERE ‐‐
UNCLE ON HIS NEPHEW.
THE NEPHEW’S ILLEGAL,
BEEN WORKING FOR HIS UNCLE’S
CONSTRUCTION COMPANY.
WE’LL CHECK THAT OUT.
GOOD.
HOW ABOUT NEXT TIME GIVING ME
A HEADS‐UP
SO I DON’T STEP ON MY DICK.
YES, ANDY.
YES, ANDY.
YES, ANDY.
HEARD WE GOT STOLEN PUPPIES.
YEAH. DROP EVERYTHING.
BUSTED WINDOW
BY THE FIRE ESCAPE,
BUT NOTHING MISSING
BUT THE MUTTS.
THEY’RE PUREBRED
ENGLISH BULLDOGS.
SORRY, SIR.
NAME’S RAY MAXWELL.
IT’S LIKE HE LOST HIS MOTHER.
CAN WE SPLIT?
YEAH.
HOW YOU DOING, MR. MAXWELL?
DETECTIVES JONES
AND MEDAVOY.
THIS IS BRIDGET.
SHE’S VERY UPSET.
I KNOW THAT THIS ISN’T
THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY,
BUT I CAN’T TELL YOU
HOW DISTRESSING THIS IS.
WELL, HOW MANY WERE TAKEN,
MR. MAXWELL?
5.
PIEBALD COLORING, ROSE EARS ‐‐
LITTLE GEMS.
YOU, UH, LIVE HERE ALONE?
WITH MY BUSINESS PARTNER CARTER.
HE’S AT A JOB INTERVIEW.
ANYONE YOU CAN THINK OF WHO
MIGHT’VE TAKEN THE DOGS?
ANYONE WHO KNEW
THEY WERE HERE.
I PUT A NOTICE OF THE LITTER
IN THE BULLDOGGER LAST WEEK.
I’VE ALREADY HAD HALF A DOZEN
INQUIRIES.
HOW MUCH ARE THE DOGS
WORTH APIECE?
$3,000.
YOU’RE KIDDING.
THE SIRE WAS A BRAZILIAN
GRAND CHAMPION,
AND BRIDGET WAS THE ’98
BEST IN BREED AT WESTMINSTER.
THAT IS A PLATINUM
BLOODLINE.
WE NEED THE NAMES OF THE PEOPLE
WHO MADE INQUIRIES.
AND IF YOU FILL OUT A REPORT,
WE’D APPRECIATE IT.
WE’LL ALSO WANT TO TALK
TO CARTER,
IF YOU COULD HAVE HIM
COME IN.
I’LL GET MY JACKET.
I CAN SEE YOUR WHEELS
TURNING.
$3,000 A POP?!
AREN’T YOU ALLERGIC
TO DOGS?
LONGHAIRS. NOT BULLDOGS.
I HAD A BULLDOG ‐‐ LUTHER.
I NEVER WOULD’VE LET MY EX‐WIFE
KEEP HIM
IF I’D KNOWN
WHAT HE WAS WORTH.
AND THINK ABOUT IT ‐‐
START‐UP‐WISE, ALL YOU NEED IS
DOG FOOD AND WATER.
I’M SURE IT’S MORE COMPLICATED
THAN THAT.
DON’T ASK ME TO GET INVOLVED.
NO, I’LL JUST CALL YOU
FROM PARK AVENUE.
...ESE CABLE
QUE ESTÁ ARRIBA.
ALLÁ!
ESO!
RENALDO MOLINA?
YES?
DETECTIVES McDOWELL,
ORTIZ.
WHAT’S WRONG?
YOU FILED
A MISSING‐PERSONS REPORT
ON YOUR NEPHEW, OSCAR MOLINA.
WE HAVE A PICTURE FOR YOU
TO LOOK AT.
CAN YOU TELL US
IF IT’S OSCAR?
HE’S DEAD. THIS MAN
YOU’RE GOING TO SHOW ME.
[ SIGHS ]
YEAH.
ARE YOU OKAY WITH THIS?
[ SIGHS ]
WE’RE VERY SORRY,
MR. MOLINA.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU SAW YOUR NEPHEW?
TWO DAYS AGO, WHEN THE I.N.S.
CAME TO TAKE HIM AWAY.
IMMIGRATION AGENTS TOOK OSCAR
AWAY TWO DAYS AGO,
AND HE HASN’T
BEEN SEEN SINCE?
DID YOU REPORT IT?
YES.
THE I. N. S. SAID
THEY’D LOOK INTO IT.
I DON’T HEAR BACK,
SO I CALLED THE POLICE
WHEN OSCAR DOESN’T SHOW
FOR WORK YESTERDAY.
THEY SAY, "MAKE A
MISSING‐PERSONS REPORT."
DID YOU GET A LOOK AT
THE AGENTS?
I SAW THEM,
BUT I WAS NOT CLOSE.
I HAVE A WORKER WHO WAS NEARBY
OSCAR AT THE TIME.
CAN YOU GET HIM FOR US?
HE’S HOME.
MY MEN ARE SCARED NOW.
IF YOU COULD GET US HIS NUMBER,
WE’D APPRECIATE IT.
I HAD A FRIEND WHO BRED
VIZSLAS.
THEY’RE LIKE HIS CHILDREN,
SO I CAN IMAGINE HOW YOU FEEL.
THANK YOU.
DO YOU HAVE A DOG?
HAD.
A BLACK COCKER WITH A WHITE
CREST ‐‐ HANK.
COCKERS ARE SWEETHEARTS.
GOOD DISPOSITION,
GREAT WITH KIDS ‐‐
A LOT LIKE BULLDOGS.
I HOPE THEY’RE OKAY.
I’M SORRY. I SHOULDN’T HAVE
BROUGHT UP DOGS.
YOU WERE BEING KIND.
THERE’S NEVER A REASON TO
APOLOGIZE FOR A KINDNESS.
MY GOD, RAY, WHAT A NIGHTMARE.
WHAT HAPPENED?
THEY BROKE IN
THE KITCHEN WINDOW
RIGHT BY THE FIRE ESCAPE.
TELL ME ‐‐ WHAT DID I SAY
ABOUT IRON BARS?
MAYBE NOW YOU’LL LISTEN TO ME
ON OCCASION.
CARTER LYNCH?
DETECTIVES MEDAVOY AND JONES.
WE’RE WORKING THE INVESTIGATION.
THEY ASKED IF I’D SEEN ANYONE
SUSPICIOUS
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD,
AND I REMEMBERED THAT MAN
THAT YOU SAW
BREAKING INTO THAT CAR.
YOU THINK HE WENT FROM STEALING
STEREOS TO PUREBRED PUPPIES?
Baldwin: WHEN DID YOU
SEE THIS HAPPEN?
FOUR MONTHS AGO,
AND I HAVEN’T SEEN HIM SINCE.
SO ‐‐ HIGHLY UNLIKELY.
I ASSUME RAY TOLD YOU ABOUT
THE INQUIRIES.
WE’VE CHECKED OUT EVERYONE WHO
INQUIRED ABOUT A PUPPY.
THEY ALL HAVE ALIBIS
FOR THIS MORNING.
THE PUPPIES ARE JUST GONE?
WELL, THE NEXT STEP IS TO NOTIFY
AREA PET SHOPS OF THE THEFT
AND HAVE YOU GUYS LOOK AT MUG
BOOKS OF LOCAL BURGLARS.
UNLESS THERE’S ANYONE ELSE YOU
THINK MIGHT’VE DONE THIS.
DID YOU TELL THEM ABOUT
LOIS DUNBAR?
NOW WHO’S BEING UNLIKELY?
LOIS DUNBAR WOULD LIKE
NOTHING MORE
THAN TO CLOSE US DOWN
FOR 6 MONTHS.
SHE OWNS A PET STORE
IN THE VILLAGE ‐‐
WASHINGTON SQUARE BARK.
SHE SELLS DOGS
FROM PUPPY MILLS,
STRICTLY AGAINST,
BUT I DOUBT
SHE WOULD DO THIS.
THEY NEARLY CAME TO BLOWS
OVER IT.
WE HAD A DISCUSSION LAST WEEK
AT A SHOW IN VIRGINIA
REGARDING AN EDITORIAL I HAD
WRITTEN IN THE BULLDOGGER.
I THINK IT’S SICK TO PROMOTE
DOG‐BREEDING TECHNIQUES
THAT RESEMBLE VEAL FARMING ‐‐
WHICH I ALSO OBJECT TO.
SO I PUT IT DOWN ON PAPER,
AND IT COST HER SOME BUSINESS.
WELL, HAS MS. DUNBAR
EVER BEEN TO YOUR HOME?
A FEW TIMES FOR
BULLDOG SOCIETY MEETINGS.
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
WE’LL CHECK HER OUT.
IN THE MEANTIME,
IF YOU WOULDN’T MIND
LOOKING AT THOSE MUG BOOKS,
WE’D APPRECIATE IT.
JOHN, COULD YOU GET THEM
UP TO ANTI‐CRIME?
OH. SURE.
I JUST DON’T SEE LOIS DOING
SOMETHING THIS CRUEL.
BECAUSE YOU LIVE IN
A FANTASY LAND
WHERE YOU THINK EVERYONE’S
GOOD AND KIND.
WHEREAS LOIS, GOD HELP HER,
IS FROM THE REAL WORLD.
[ DOOR SLAMS ]
AY, AY, AY.
SPECIAL AGENT MARK KOLBERG
FROM I. N. S.
YEAH, WE SPOKE.
HOW YOU DOING, MARK?
I LOOKED INTO IT,
AND THERE’S NO REPORT ON ANYBODY
BEING TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
FROM THE JOB SITE
TWO DAYS AGO ‐‐
WHICH DOESN’T MEAN
WE DON’T HAVE AGENTS
WHO COULD’VE BEEN
INVOLVED IN THIS.
YOU HAVE A FILE ON THE DOA?
NOTHING DOCUMENTED.
ANY INVESTIGATIONS RELATIVE TO
HIS EMPLOYER?
YEAH, WE’VE HAD DEALINGS
WITH MOLINA.
HE HAS A HISTORY OF HIRING
ILLEGALS,
AND WE’VE GOT AGENTS LEANING ON
HIM PRETTY GOOD.
ANY AGENTS IN PARTICULAR?
MIKE TORRES AND JOE RAMOS.
AND I’M GONNA TELL YOU,
WE’VE HAD A SERIES OF COMPLAINTS
AGAINST THEM.
FOR?
LET’S SAY
"OVERLY AGGRESSIVE."
WE HAVE AN INTERNAL
INVESTIGATION
ONGOING ON THEM FOR THAT.
PLUS, THEY’VE HAD
A LOT OF CONTACT
WITH MOLINA CONSTRUCTION.
I COULD SEE THEIR TACTICS
LEADING UP TO THIS.
LET’S TALK TO THEM.
I’D LIKE TO BE COPIED
ON ALL PAPERWORK.
I HOPE YOU’RE NOT DEPUTIZING US
TO TRY AND NAIL THESE AGENTS
FOR SOME INTERNAL AFFAIRS‐TYPE
PROBLEMS YOU GOT COOKING.
I WAS ASKED TO COME DOWN.
I’M TELLING YOU THE SITUATION
AS I SEE IT.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
WE’LL BRING THEM IN.
HAVE A SEAT, MS. DUNBAR.
THEN WE’LL BREAK THE SILENCE?
BECAUSE I’M CONFUSED
AS TO WHAT I DID THIS TIME.
HAD A FEW RUN‐INS
WITH THE LAW?
ONCE ‐‐ RECEIVING A SHIPMENT OF
MOLUCCAN COCKATOOS
THERE’S NO WAY I COULD HAVE
KNOWN WERE SMUGGLED.
HOW ABOUT BULLDOGS, MS. DUNBAR?
IS YOUR NOSE CLEAN THERE?
YES. WHY?
DO YOU KNOW RAY MAXWELL?
DOES HE ACTUALLY WANT ME
ARRESTED FOR INSULTING HIM?
TELL US YOUR SIDE.
HE WROTE AN EDITORIAL
IN A TRADE MAGAZINE
MAKING ABSURD GENERALIZATIONS
ABOUT PET STORES,
SO I CALLED HIM
A SEDITIOUS PRICK.
HE NEEDED TO KNOW
WE’RE NOT ALL MILLIONAIRES
WITH A CUTE HOBBY.
SOME OF US DO THIS FOR
A LIVING.
WHERE WERE YOU THIS MORNING
AROUND 8:00?
WHAT HAPPENED AT 8:00?
SOMEONE STOLE A LITTER OF
RAY MAXWELL’S PUPPIES.
AND RAY’S SAYING I DID IT?
WHO DOES HE THINK I AM,
CRUELLA DeVILLE?
IF IT’LL HELP, I WAS ON
THE PHONE WITH MY VENDORS
FROM 7:00 TILL WE OPENED.
THEY’LL BE HAPPY TO CONFIRM.
THEIR NUMBERS.
MS. DUNBAR...
WHAT’S THE GENERAL START‐UP COST
OF A DOG‐BREEDING OPERATION?
JUST PRETEND THAT WAS THE WIND.
JUST...KEEP WRITING.
HAVE A SEAT, GUYS.
WE’RE KIND OF BUSY.
IF YOU DON’T MIND,
MAYBE WE COULD JUST GET TO IT?
YOU GUYS PAY A VISIT
TO THE WORK SITE
MOLINA CONSTRUCTION’S GOT
AT 10th AND "C" TWO DAYS AGO?
NO.
YOU BEEN THERE BEFORE?
YEAH.
WHAT FOR?
YOU GUYS LOOKING
FOR OUR HELP,
OR IS THIS ABOUT
SOMETHING ELSE?
THIS IS ABOUT
SOMETHING ELSE.
TWO I. N. S. AGENTS FITTING
YOUR DESCRIPTION
PULLED A LABORER OFF THAT SITE
2 DAYS AGO.
TODAY, HE ENDS UP STRANGLED IN
THE FRONT SEAT OF A STOLEN CAR.
WE DIDN’T PULL NO ONE OFF
OF THAT JOB SITE,
AND WE DIDN’T STRANGLE NO ONE
IN NO STOLEN CAR.
WE PROBABLY WOULD’VE REMEMBERED
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
WHERE WERE YOU GUYS 2 DAYS AGO,
10:00 A. M.?
YOU LOOKING TO HANG US?
YOU SEE US THROWING A ROPE OVER
A TREE BRANCH?
WE’RE ASKING QUESTIONS
WE GOTTA ASK.
2 DAYS AGO, 10:00 A. M.,
WE WERE DOING A SURVEILLANCE ‐‐
WAREHOUSE DOWN BY THE DOCKS.
CAN ANYBODY VERIFY?
DID KOLBERG PUT YOU UP TO THIS?
IS THAT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT?
WE GOT A DOA.
THAT’S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
2 HISPANIC I. N. S. AGENTS WERE
LAST SEEN WITH THIS DOA.
ARE YOU REALLY WONDERING WHY
THE HELL WE BROUGHT YOU IN?
NOW, DON’T COMPOUND IT
WITH THE COWBOY ATTITUDE.
OKAY, OKAY, LOOK.
ME AND MY PARTNER HAVE BEEN
HASSLED BY OUR OWN DEPARTMENT
FOR THINGS WE DIDN’T DO ‐‐
MANY TIMES.
SO MAYBE YOU’LL EXCUSE US IF
WE’RE SENSITIVE TO ACCUSATIONS.
UNDERSTANDABLE.
WE DIDN’T PULL NO ONE OFF THAT
SITE, AND WE DIDN’T KILL NOBODY.
WE WERE ON SURVEILLANCE.
AND YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE
OUR WORD FOR IT,
BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH WE CHECKED
IN ONCE OR TWICE,
WE STAYED OFF THE RADIO FOR THE
MOST PART OF THAT MORNING.
PAST THAT, YOU’RE GONNA HAVE
TO TALK TO OUR DELEGATE.
ALL RIGHT.
I WANNA KNOW IF THEY CHECKED IN
AT ALL THAT DAY.
YEAH.
HOW DID IT GO?
WE’RE GONNA TRY AND VERIFY
THEIR STORY.
YOU LOCATE THAT WITNESS?
YEAH. BOTH HIM AND
THE DOA’S UNCLE
DIDN’T GIVE US MUCH PAST THE
I. N. S. AGENTS BEING HISPANIC,
BUT THEY’LL LOOK AT PHOTOS.
RUN A PHOTO ARRAY OF THE AGENTS
WHO WERE JUST HERE.
YEAH, WE’LL DO THAT.
WHAT WOULD THIS HAVE BEEN OVER
IF IT’S I. N. S.?
THE DOA THEIR SNITCH?
DON’T OVERLOOK THIS BEING
A SHAKEDOWN THAT WENT BAD.
IT HAPPENS.
I.N.S. DOES WHAT THEY WANT WHEN
IT COMES TO ILLEGAL ALIENS.
NO DUE PROCESS, NOTHING.
DOES THE WORD "ILLEGAL" MEAN
ANYTHING TO ANYBODY ANYMORE?
YEAH, BUT COME ON.
MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ARE HERE
BUSTING THEIR HUMP
DOING JOBS
NOBODY ELSE WANTS.
WE WERE ALL IMMIGRANTS
AT SOME POINT, RIGHT?
OR IS SIPOWICZ
A NAVAJO NAME?
NO, ABSOLUTELY.
OPEN THE BORDERS UP.
SEE WHAT OTHER HITS THIS COUNTRY
CAN TAKE.
I GOTTA GO TO LUNCH.
I’LL BE BACK.
DETECTIVE...
CORY BEACHAM ‐‐ MRS. HORNBY’S
BUSINESS MANAGER.
WE SPOKE ON THE PHONE.
ANDY SIPOWICZ.
DETECTIVE GIBSON FILLED YOU IN
ON SOME OF THE DETAILS?
SOME.
YOU’LL BE HERE AT 6:00 SHARP.
MARTA’S BACK BY 10:00,
AT WHICH POINT SHE’LL HAND YOU
AN ENVELOPE
CONTAINING $200 IN CASH.
THIS IS ALL ASSUMING THAT
MRS. HORNBY APPROVES OF YOU.
IF SHE DOES, WE’LL ASK YOU TO
SIGN A NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT.
ANYTHING YOU HEAR OR SEE
STAYS IN THE APARTMENT.
ANY QUESTIONS?
I GOT IT.
LET’S GET YOU INTRODUCED.
SUSAN?
DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ IS HERE.
SO, YOU’RE A POLICEMAN
LIKE EDDIE?
ACTUALLY, ME AND EDDIE
ARE DETECTIVES.
ARE YOU MARRIED?
MY WIFE PASSED AWAY
A COUPLE YEARS AGO.
OH, I’M SORRY.
MY HUSBAND, TOO ‐‐
JULY 31, 1988.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CHILDREN?
I HAVE ONE BOY.
DONALD AND I
NEVER HAD CHILDREN.
WELL, THEN.
SO, I’LL BE
SEEING YOU TONIGHT.
YEAH. I’LL SEE YOU TONIGHT.
I DON’T LIKE COLOGNE.
DID YOU TELL HIM
ABOUT THE COLOGNE?
I’M SORRY, I DIDN’T.
I DON’T WEAR IT,
SO IT WON’T BE A PROBLEM.
I SMELL COLOGNE.
THAT’S AFTERSHAVE.
WELL, IT’S DREADFUL.
IF YOU DON’T MIND, I’D ASK
THAT YOU DON’T WEAR IT.
I’LL WORK SOMETHING OUT.
SEE YOU TONIGHT!
OKAY, WE’LL BE THERE.
LET’S GO, PARTNER.
LOVELY BEAST PET STORE JUST GOT
AN INQUIRY FROM A GUY
LOOKING TO OFF‐LOAD
BULLDOG PUPS.
ARE THEY STALLING HIM
AT THE STORE?
NO. THEY TOLD HIM TO COME IN IN
AN HOUR WITH THE LITTER.
YOU RUN PHOTO LINEUPS OF THE
AGENTS FOR THE 2 WITNESSES?
THE WORKER
WHO SAW THEM CLOSEST
SAID IT MOST LIKELY WASN’T ANY
IN THE ARRAY,
BUT THE UNCLE POINTED OUT
AGENT RAMOS
AND SAID HE MIGHT’VE BEEN
ONE OF THE GUYS.
THE UNCLE KNOW
RAMOS AND TORRES
FROM PAST RUN‐INS AT HIS
BUSINESS?
HE DID. SO, YEAH,
YOU GOTTA FACTOR THAT IN.
BUT HE COULDN’T BE SURE
EITHER WAY.
BOTH WITNESSES
WERE INTIMIDATED
AT THE PROSPECT OF DEALING
WITH I. N. S.
YOU VERIFY THE AGENTS’ STORY?
YEAH. THEIR DISPATCH CONFIRMED
THAT TORRES AND RAMOS
DID RADIO IN A COUPLE TIMES
AROUND WHEN OUR DOA
GOT SNATCHED,
BUT DISPATCH DIDN’T KNOW THE
LOCATION OF THE TRANSMISSION,
SO IT DOESN’T MEAN THESE GUYS
WEREN’T INVOLVED.
HAVEN’T CAUGHT THEM IN A LIE,
AT LEAST.
GOT A COUPLE OF
FINGERPRINT HITS
OFF THE STOLEN CAR
THE DOA WAS IN,
ALL COMING BACK
TO A RAFAEL MERCADO ‐‐
SECURITY GUARD AT SUPER BARGAINS
UP ON 120th STREET,
SPANISH HARLEM.
YOU AND ANDY TAKE A RIDE.
IF YOU NEED HELP, CALL.
YEAH.
I’M PICKING UP
A SECURITY JOB.
YEAH?
I’M LOOKING AT 15 YEARS OF PAID
EDUCATION FOR THEO.
YOU’RE NOT GONNA FIND THAT
AT THE BOTTOM OF A BOX OF
CRACKER JACKS.
ONLY 2 NIGHTS A WEEK
AWAY FROM HIM.
YOU’RE LOOKING AHEAD.
YOU’RE BEING A GOOD DAD.
EXCUSE ME.
SECURITY GUARD
RAFAEL MERCADO?
THANKS.
HI.
TALK TO YOU FOR A SECOND?
SURE.
GET HIM. GET HIM!
AAAH!
Junior: YOU OKAY?
GO! GO!
MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!
MOVE!
YOU GOT HIM?
YEAH. YOU OKAY, ANDY?
YEAH. NOW LET’S GET HIM
OUT OF HERE.
WELL...IT’S CONCEIVABLE YOU
COULD MAKE THAT MUCH, BUT ‐‐
HEY, KAREN. WOULD YOU LIKE
TO TRY ONE OF THESE?
LET ME KNOW
WHAT YOU THINK.
WHAT A PRETTY LITTLE DOG.
WHAT’S HER NAME?
HIS NAME IS JOHNNY.
Whew.
SO, THE START‐UP COST OF
BREEDING BULLDOG PUPPIES
IS $3,000
WITH A POTENTIAL
ANNUAL RETURN OF $50,000.
DIDN’T ASK.
ESSENTIALLY THAT 3 GRAND IS JUST
THE COST OF THE BITCH.
THE SERVICES OF THE MALE
YOU HIRE OUT FOR.
AND THEN YOU JUST INTRODUCE THEM
AND PUT THEM IN A ROOM
WITH MOOD LIGHTING
AND A BARRY WHITE RECORD?
[ CHUCKLES ] NO. NO, NO.
THEY DON’T MATE WELL ‐‐
TOO MUCH BELLY.
THE BITCH NEEDS TO BE
INSEMINATED.
ARTIFICIALLY, HUH?
WHAT’S THE PROCESS THERE?
THE SPERM IS INTRODUCED WITH
A DEVICE ‐‐ LIKE A DROPPER.
HOW DO YOU GET THE SPERM
IN THE FIRST PLACE?
YOU DRAW IT OUT
WITH A SYRINGE?
YOU PUT A RECEPTACLE DEVICE
AROUND THE MALE
AND ‐‐ YOU KNOW.
IT’S A MANUAL DEAL.
MANUAL?
LIKE...LIKE...
MANIPULATION, YEAH.
SO THAT’S WHAT ALL
THE TAIL‐WAGGING’S ABOUT.
ARE YOU LARRY?
I SURE AM.
EXCUSE ME.
WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
TOM.
WHAT YOU GOT
IN THE BOX THERE, TOM?
PUPPIES.
AW.
WHERE’D YOU GET THEM FROM?
FROM MY DOG.
YEAH? WE’RE GONNA
BRING YOU IN AND VERIFY THAT.
MY DOG’S OUT OF TOWN.
A LITTLE DOGGY VACATION?
SOMEBODY TOOK MY DOG
OUT OF TOWN.
RIGHT.
COME ON.
I USED TO BE A COP...
IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.
DID YOU RUN AWAY
WHEN YOU WERE A COP, TOO?
MY TOURIST VISA EXPIRED.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE I. N. S.
HOW LONG WERE YOU A COP?
FIVE YEAR.
YEAH? TRY AND JOIN UP
OUT HERE?
NO HIGH‐SCHOOL DIPLOMA.
I TELL THEM WHAT I KNOW
ABOUT THE STREET.
THAT’S 10 TIMES MORE THAN
A DAMN HIGH‐SCHOOL DIPLOMA.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT OSCAR MOLINA?
I DON’T.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
A JOB SITE AT 10th AND "C"?
NOTHING.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT A STOLEN
CAR TAKEN OUT OF BROOKLYN?
YOU PROBABLY NEVER WERE
A COP.
WHY WOULD YOU SAY SOMETHING
LIKE THAT?
WE’VE GOT YOUR FINGERPRINTS
ON THAT STOLEN CAR.
MAYBE A FRIEND OF MINE GIVE ME
A RIDE IN ONE THAT’S STOLEN.
BACK TO OSCAR MOLINA.
I SEE HIM AROUND.
YEAH? WHERE?
PEOPLE POINT HIM OUT.
THAT’S THE GUY WHO HAS SEX
WITH CHILDREN.
I STAY AWAY FROM HIM.
HE MOLEST ANYBODY CLOSE
TO YOU?
IF HE DID,
WE COULD UNDERSTAND
HOW THAT WOULD MAKE YOU
WANT TO HURT HIM.
I TELL YOU WHAT I HEARD.
HE RAPES KIDS.
DO YOU KNOW ANYBODY
WHO WANTED TO HURT HIM?
YOU SEE, THAT’S THE PROBLEM
WITH YOU GUYS HERE.
BACK HOME,
A MOLESTER IS KILLED.
THAT IS GOD MAKING EVERYTHING
TAKE CARE OF ITSELF.
IT’S NOT FOR THE POLICE
TO WORRY ABOUT.
WHY WORRY ABOUT IT?
HOW’D YOU MAKE OUT?
HE’S PLAYING GAMES.
DID YOU RUN A PHOTO LINEUP
ON THIS GUY?
A WORKER PICKED HIM OUT
AS ONE OF THE I. N. S. AGENTS.
BUT THE UNCLE SAYS NO WAY
HE WAS ONE OF THEM.
HE WAS FURTHER AWAY
THAN ANY WORKERS.
WE WENT OVER IT.
HE’S SAYING NO WAY.
THIS GUY SAYS THE DOA
IS A KNOWN PEDOPHILE.
IF IT’S TRUE,
THAT OPENS IT UP.
THE DOA WORKED FOR HIS UNCLE,
RIGHT? LIVED WITH HIM?
YEAH.
THE UNCLE HAVE KIDS?
DIDN’T GET THAT FAR.
GO BY HIS HOME.
LOOK INTO IT.
YOU AND RITA.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU WATCH.
ANY OPENING,
HE’S BRINGING HIS PEOPLE IN.
ISN’T THAT TRADITION
ON THE JOB?
THEY DIDN’T CALL IT
IRISH WELFARE FOR NOTHING.
YES, ANDY. YES, ANDY.
YES, ANDY.
THAT BALL‐BREAKER.
THANKS.
ANYTIME.
EVERYTHING WORK OUT
WITH THE DOGS?
ACTUALLY, TOM,
WE HIT A SNAG.
WHERE WERE YOU THIS MORNING
AROUND 8:00?
MY APARTMENT.
WHAT KIND OF SNAG?
ANYONE WITH YOU?
JUST THE DOGGIES.
EVER BEEN
TO 1791 SPRING STREET?
DOUBT IT.
THE GROCER ACROSS THE STREET SAW
A GUY LOOKING LIKE YOU
LEAVE 1791 SPRING STREET AT 8:00
HOLDING A BIG BOX.
AFTER HE POSITIVELY
IDENTIFIES YOU, TOM,
YOU’LL BE FACING
A BURGLARY CHARGE.
THIS IS UNREAL.
WHAT LED YOU
TO THE PUPPIES?
A GUY WHO COMES INTO THIS CLUB
I GO TO.
I DON’T EVEN LIKE DOGS,
BUT HE OFFERS ME 1,000 BUCKS.
WHO’S THE GUY?
CARTER SOMETHING.
LYNCH?
THAT’S IT.
HE GAVE ME A KEY,
TOLD ME WHERE TO GO,
SAID TO MAKE SURE I BUST IN BY
THE FIRE ESCAPE, EASY GRAND.
TWO MORE, YOU COULD
HAVE YOURSELF A BUSINESS.
WHAT WAS THE PLAN FOR
AFTER HE TOOK THE DOGS?
I WAS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THEM
THE WEEK,
AND THEN HE WAS GONNA
GET THEM.
WHAT MADE YOU SELL THEM?
I JUST COULDN’T TAKE THOSE
LITTLE NIGHTMARES ANYMORE.
I COULDN’T REACH CARTER,
SO I FOUND THIS PET SHOP
AND ASKED HOW MUCH
THEY PAID FOR PUPPIES.
WHEN YOU SAY YOU COULDN’T TAKE
THOSE NIGHTMARES ANYMORE,
WHAT DID YOU MEAN?
IN THE SPACE OF FIVE HOURS,
I HAD LIQUID DOG GRAVY
ON MY FLOOR, ON MY RUG,
EVEN IN MY SHOE.
YOU KNOW HOW PUPPIES ARE
CONSTANTLY YIPPING?
MULTIPLY THAT BY FIVE
AND THEN COVER
EVERYTHING YOU OWN
IN THE MOST FOUL‐SMELLING URINE
AND FECES,
AND YOU’LL HAVE SOME IDEA OF
WHAT MY MORNING WAS LIKE.
EASY MONEY.
WRITE DOWN
ABOUT THE BURGLARY.
YES?
THIS RENALDO MOLINA’S
APARTMENT? YOU ARE?
I’M MARIA, HIS WIFE.
DETECTIVES ORTIZ
AND McDOWELL.
RENALDO’S NOT HERE.
YEAH, WE KNOW.
CAN WE COME IN?
OKAY.
WHO ELSE LIVES HERE?
JUST RENALDO AND ME.
EITHER OF YOU
HAVE CHILDREN?
NO. NOT YET.
DID YOU KNOW
HIS NEPHEW OSCAR?
HE LIVED HERE?
YES, BUT HE MOVED.
I DON’T KNOW WHERE HE LIVES NOW.
LIVES?
OSCAR’S DEAD.
WHEN?
HOW?
LAST COUPLE DAYS,
AND WE DON’T KNOW.
YOU AND OSCAR
WERE FRIENDS?
A LITTLE BIT.
WAS YOUR HUSBAND JEALOUS
OF YOU AND OSCAR?
WERE YOU SLEEPING
WITH OSCAR?
NO!
BUT YOUR HUSBAND THOUGHT
YOU WERE?
WE HAVE OTHER DETECTIVES
TALKING TO PEOPLE
WHO SAW WHAT HAPPENED.
WE’RE GONNA FIND OUT
HOW OSCAR GOT KILLED.
IF YOU STAND BETWEEN US
AND THE TRUTH,
YOU’LL END UP GETTING HURT.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
DON’T LIE TO US, MARIA.
I DON’T KNOW!
HOW LONG HAVE YOU
LIVED IN THE U. S.?
THREE YEARS.
DID YOUR HUSBAND BRING YOU FROM
THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC?
YES.
NOW, I WANT THE TRUTH.
DID YOUR HUSBAND THINK THAT YOU
AND OSCAR WERE TOGETHER?
DID YOUR HUSBAND
THREATEN OSCAR?
HE SAY HE’D KILL HIM?
YOU NEED TO GET
A PHOTO OF YOUR HUSBAND.
THEY WEREN’T HAVING SEX.
HER HUSBAND
TAKES OUT THE NEPHEW
JUST FOR MAKING EYES
AT HER?
I CAN BELIEVE IT.
WE MIGHT HAVE A BREAKTHROUGH
HERE, RAFAEL.
OKAY.
THIS GUY HIRE YOU TO KILL THAT
MAN TWO DAYS AGO?
THAT GUY THAT WAS KILLED WAS
A CHILD MOLESTER.
THAT WAS NO MOLESTER,
RAFAEL.
THE GUY WHO GOT KILLED WAS
TRYING TO SCREW THIS GUY’S WIFE.
NO.
YES.
AND THE MACHISMO KICKED IN.
HE TOLD YOU A STORY
THAT WOULD MAKE YOU WANT
TO BRING JUSTICE.
IT’S A LIE, RAFAEL.
DON’T PROTECT HIM.
YOU’RE FORGETTING
I WAS A COP.
I KNOW ABOUT TELLING LIES
TO GET PEOPLE’S HEAD SPINNING.
YOU GOT FAMILY OUT HERE?
YEAH.
THEY ALL LEGAL?
IF YOU KEEP LYING ABOUT YOUR
INVOLVEMENT IN THIS,
I WILL ROUND UP EVERY FAMILY
MEMBER, EVERY FRIEND,
ANYBODY THAT YOU EVER HAD
A CONVERSATION WITH,
AND WHOEVER ISN’T LEGAL IS ON
THE FIRST PLANE OUT OF HERE.
I WILL TELL THEM THAT RAFAEL
BOUGHT THEIR TICKET.
I AM THAT PISSED,
AND I WILL DO IT!
YOU KNOW THAT GUY WAS NOT
A CHILD MOLESTER?
HE FLIRTED
WITH THIS GUY’S WIFE.
WHAT HAPPENS TO HIM?
HE’S GONNA GET LOCKED UP.
DID THIS GUY MOLINA
HIRE YOU?
YEAH, FOR $2,000.
ALL RIGHT,
TWO GUYS PICKED HIM UP.
WHO’S THE OTHER GUY
YOU DID IT WITH?
I’LL NEVER TELL YOU.
IT WAS ME. I BROUGHT HIM IN.
RAFAEL, YOU CAN SAVE YOURSELF
A LOT OF YEARS
IF YOU TELL US WHO ELSE
WAS IN ON IT.
YEAH, I KNOW HOW IT WORKS,
BUT I AIN’T GONNA DO IT.
ANYWAY, HE’S BACK IN THE
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.
I’LL TAKE WHATEVER’S COMING.
WE CAN RESPECT THAT.
YOU LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE.
ALL RIGHT.
LET’S GO.
THE LIEUTENANT SUGGESTED I LOOK
IN ON INTERVIEWS.
IT WOULD BE NICE
IF SOMEBODY TOLD ME.
SORRY.
IS IT OKAY THAT I DO?
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
YEAH, SURE.
LOOK,
WHAT I SAID IN THERE
ABOUT ROUNDING UP
HIS FAMILY ‐‐
IT WAS A GOOD INTERVIEW.
THERE’S THREATS
TO GET PEOPLE TO GO,
AND THERE’S WHAT
YOU’RE REALLY DOING.
I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.
IT WAS A GOOD INTERVIEW.
SO NOW YOU GO
GRAB UP THE UNCLE?
YEAH.
YOU WANT TO TAKE A RIDE?
SURE.
I DON’T UNDERSTAND THE PRIVATE
ASPECT OF THIS.
WHY CAN’T RAY COME IN?
WE SPOKE WITH TOM BURRIS.
HE TOLD US
HOW YOU SET THIS UP.
[ CHUCKLES ] I DON’T KNOW
ANY TOM BURRIS.
THAT’S NOT HOW YOU WANT TO PLAY
THIS, MR. LYNCH.
TELL US WHAT HAPPENED,
AND MAYBE THIS COULD BE SETTLED
OUTSIDE A COURTROOM.
RAY DESCRIBED YOU TWO AS
PARTNERS IN A DOG BREEDING,
BUT IS THERE MORE TO IT
THAN THAT?
THERE WAS.
WE BROKE UP.
YOU STILL LIVE TOGETHER. IT
COULDN’T HAVE BEEN TOO NASTY.
IT WASN’T PLEASANT,
BUT SINCE NOTHING PHASES RAY,
HE SAID I COULD STAY
UNTIL I FOUND A NEW PLACE.
SO YOU ARRANGED THE BURGLARY
FOR MOVING‐OUT MONEY?
I MIGHT HAVE MENTIONED
TO TOM
THAT THERE WAS SOME VALUABLE
PUPPIES IN THE LOFT.
IS THIS AFTER YOU GAVE HIM A KEY
AND TOLD HIM YOU’D MEET HIM?
RAY SHOULD SHARE
SOME OF THE BLAME.
HE GOT ME USED TO A LIFESTYLE
WAY BEYOND MY MEANS.
THAT’S YOUR REASON
FOR RIPPING HIM OFF?
HE’S WEALTHY.
I’M OUT OF WORK.
HE PAYS FOR MEALS, FOR CABS,
FOR CLOTHES.
I’M SORRY, BUT I STARTED
TO FEEL WORTHLESS.
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT US
TO TELL HIM?
I WANTED THE MONEY
AND A SENSE OF INDEPENDENCE,
SO I ACTED
OUT OF FRUSTRATION.
BUT REALLY I HOPED THAT HE WOULD
TURN TO ME FOR SUPPORT
AND MAYBE TAKE ME BACK.
THAT’S THE TRUTH.
WE’LL TALK TO HIM.
WE EXPLAINED THE SITUATION
TO MR. MAXWELL,
AND HE SAID IF LYNCH WAS
OUT BY TONIGHT,
HE WOULDN’T PRESS CHARGES.
WELL, THE LAST THING I NEED IS
A RELUCTANT COMPLAINANT.
WE’LL MAKE SURE
LYNCH VACATES?
WE’LL SEND HIM
WITH UNIFORMED COPS.
PUT IT IN YOUR REPORTS
AND SEND ME A COPY.
I’LL GET LYNCH.
DO YOU NEED SOMEONE TO INFORM
MR. MAXWELL?
YOU VOLUNTEERING?
HE AND I HAD A CONVERSATION
EARLIER,
AND ANY EXCUSE
TO LOOK AT THOSE PUPPIES...
BY ALL MEANS.
GO, TIGER.
OUR ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY
AGREED TO THE TERMS
YOU DECIDED ON
REGARDING MR. LYNCH.
GOOD.
IT’S BEST FOR EVERYONE.
I CONFESS
I OVERHEARD THE TERMS,
AND I THINK YOUR EQUANIMITY
IS ADMIRABLE.
AGAIN, THANK YOU.
BEST OF LUCK.
DO YOU GO TO THE THEATER?
WHENEVER I CAN.
CARTER AND I WERE SUPPOSED
TO GO TONIGHT,
BUT...[ CLEARS THROAT ]
WOULD YOU LIKE TICKETS
TO "THE PRODUCERS"?
THEY WERE A GIFT
FROM NATHAN LANE’S MANAGER,
SO THEY SHOULD BE GOOD.
YOU’RE GIVING AWAY HOUSE SEATS
TO "THE PRODUCERS"?
I’M JUST NOT IN THE MOOD.
THAT’S LIKE SAYING YOU’RE NOT IN
THE MOOD TO WIN THE LOTTERY.
I‐I COULDN’T TAKE THEM.
YOU’VE GOT TO GO.
HOW ABOUT IF YOU WENT
WITH ME?
I’D LOVE TO...
TRULY...
BUT I PROMISED ONE OF
THE DETECTIVES I WOULD BABYSIT.
SOME OTHER TIME THEN.
NO, WAIT.
GIVE ME A HALF‐HOUR,
AND I’LL WORK SOMETHING OUT.
DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ ‐‐
DID THEO
GET DROPPED OFF YET?
DETECTIVE McDOWELL’S
WATCHING HIM.
I NEED A MOMENT
THE MINUTE YOU’RE FREE.
HEY, BOSS.
MOLINA LAWYERED UP.
HE COOKED UP THIS
I. N. S. SCHEME?
ON ACCOUNT THE DOA WAS FLIRTING
WITH HIS OLD LADY.
HE’S BEING PROCESSED, AND I’LL
GET HIM TO CENTRAL BOOKING.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT, LIEUTENANT.
HEY, RITA,
FIRST DAY IN THE SQUAD.
WE GOT TO BUY YOU A BEER.
IT’S A TRADITION.
UM, YEAH.
I GOT AN HOUR BEFORE
I MEET MY HUSBAND.
PLENTY OF TIME.
YOU KNOW I TAKE BABYSITTING THEO
VERY SERIOUSLY,
AND I WOULD NEVER CANCEL
AT THE LAST MINUTE.
YOU GOTTA CANCEL NOW?
I TALKED WITH McDOWELL,
AND SHE AGREED TO TAKE MY PLACE.
BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUALMS
AT ALL, SAY SO,
AND THE ISSUE IS CLOSED.
WHAT’S SO URGENT?
I’VE BEEN INVITED
TO SEE "THE PRODUCERS"
IN NATHAN LANE’S SEATS.
AND HE IS?
OH, DETECTIVE,
IT’S MANNA FROM HEAVEN.
BUT I MADE A COMMITMENT,
AND I’LL HAPPILY STICK BY IT.
NO, IT’S FINE.
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
IT’S NOT A PROBLEM.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
DON’T LET HER GET TOO SMASHED,
EH?
HERE’S MY PAGER NUMBER.
DON’T CALL ME UNLESS IT’S
AN EXTREME EMERGENCY.
DETECTIVE!
ARE WE READY TO HAVE SOME FUN,
KICK UP OUR HEELS?
UH...
I’LL PLAY THE PIANO,
AND YOU CAN SING.
I‐I DON’T SING.
YOU CAN, THOUGH.
HOW ’BOUT WE PLAY SOME CARDS
THEN?
IF YOU WANT.
GIN RUMMY.
EDDIE ALWAYS LETS ME WIN.
WOULD YOU BE A LOVE
AND POUR ME JUST A DROP
OF SHERRY?
[ SIGHS ] YEAH.
HMM?
MM‐HMM.
[ SIGHS ]
OH!
THERE YOU GO.
YOU DEAL.
OKAY.
[ SIGHS ]
OH, DEAR!
YOU’RE NOT GOING
TO GET THAT?
NOPE. LOOKS LIKE YOU PREFER IT
ON THE FLOOR.
WELL, I DON’T.
FETCH A TOWEL AND CLEAN IT UP.
FETCH?
NO, I DON’T THINK SO.

I’LL BE BACK IN A MINUTE.
YOU JUST SIT TIGHT.
I MADE HIM A LUNCH FOR SCHOOL
TOMORROW.
IT’S IN THE FRIDGE.
YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO DO THAT.
I JUST MADE A SANDWICH.
ALSO, HE SAID HE WAS ALLOWED
TO WATCH TV
WHILE HE DOES HIS HOMEWORK.
NO. HE’S PLAYING YOU.
I FIGURED,
SO I HELD HIM OFF
UNTIL HE FINISHED.
HOW’S THE SECURITY JOB?
THIS WOMAN IS A NUT CASE.
I’M NOT GOING BACK.
WELL,
IF THERE’S ANY CHANGE
OR SOMETHING COMES UP
AND JOHN’S BUSY,
I’D BE HAPPY TO SIT AGAIN.
THEN FOR THE FUTURE,
IT’S BETTER IF YOU HAVE HIM
GO TO SLEEP IN HIS OWN BED.
HE CAN BE A HARD TRANSFER.
DONE.
Oh, uh...
DOES HE GET
ONE SANDWICH OR TWO?
ONE.
HE SAID TWO. I GAVE HIM ONE
AND ONLY ONE PUDDING.
THERE YOU GO.
GOOD NIGHT, ANDY.
AND I’M SERIOUS. ANYTIME YOU
WANT ME TO WATCH HIM...
GOOD NIGHT.
