All language subtitles for Cagney and Lacey s08e02 The View Through the Glass Ceiling 1995

We had a couple of different sets of
ideas.

You'll need love.

When I swabbed his mouth, I saw this.

Need a closer look.

Blue.

That's right.

Blue hairs.

I'll go see where they are.

Relax. No, I'll go check.

Peter's in a deposition. He wants to
know if you need him.

Why? We're just signing papers.

Tell Peter all we need are the papers,
okay?

I've got the papers.

I apologize. It's nuts today.

Do you need a pen?

We'll read first.

Will Jim be here today?

Jim? The other party in the divorce?

You want him here? We'll get him here.

Mr. Burton's already signed.

But I can check. Oh, no.

No. It's all right.

He's already signed.

I would like it, though, if someone
would tell him that I think this

is fair.

I hope he does, too.

And that I wish him the best.

I'll tell him.

So?

Sign.

Thank you for all your help.

Sure thing.

Mrs. Croft?

Tell Peter we'll talk.

Want to share a cap? Sure.

Actually, Mr. Broadbent was hoping to
meet you.

Daniel Dawes Broadbent?

Yeah.

Jerry, thanks for all your help.

No, no, let's go see Broadbent.

Really, no, you go on.

I promise you I won't sign anything.

Okay, sweetheart.

You take care.

I will.

Can you get these fellows together for
me about 2 o 'clock set?

Oh, good.

Come in.

Christine Cagney. Dan Broadbent. Hello.

Let's be comfortable.

Thank you.

You have to get back to the DA's office
right away. I have time.

My biggest failure, 1956.

We got wind that Horace Stoneham was
making a deal to take the Giants to San

Francisco.

Well, a bunch of us decided to build
Stoneham a new stadium to replace the

grounds.

We even made him an offer on the club.

It still kills me.

I mean, you hear endlessly about
Brooklyn and the Dodgers.

We lost Willie Mays.

Mr. Broadbent?

Dan. Dan, you're breaking my heart.

No, that old story doesn't work quite as
well as it used to.

Well, I say screw nostalgia.

It's just eyes straight ahead, Dan.

It's the only way.

What in the world are you doing assigned
to our little pig -eyed district

attorney?

Well, I know that you're the mayor's
best friend, but the DA's a very good

He's a pill.

He can't possibly think he can be
elected mayor.

How do you know that's what he's
thinking?

You're going to support him?

Right, like I have to really worry about
which way to throw my influence.

Don't underestimate your influence or
your friends.

You know you're up for a nomination to
the Law Enforcement Oversight Board?

To Leo?

I've heard it's a pretty long list.

If it was such a long list, I wouldn't
have asked to get a look at you.

Do you want the appointment?

Yes, very much.

Then don't be coy about it.

No problem.

Who's my competition?

Not for me to say.

The best advice I can offer you is don't
be faint -hearted when it comes to

acting in your own self -interest.

The Leo board makes policy.

That's not a bad way to introduce
yourself to public life.

Nice to see you.

See him here.

Thank you.

Was I too in his face? I mean, he sort
of asked for it, but... You were great.

Oh, I'm never going to get a cab at this
hour.

We've got a car for you.

We'll have to do this again sometime.

I'd like that.

It was nice meeting you.

Bye. Bye.

How was it?

Done.

Did you get to talk with Jim?

He wasn't there.

Oh, it's all right.

I would have preferred more of a
closure, you know, face to face, but he

So?

So.

He got all dressed up for a room full of
lawyers.

Yeah.

Well, yeah.

Mary Beth?

I'm up for the Leo board.

I mean, I'm way high up on the list.

When did you hear that?

I met with Daniel Broadbent.

I know that name.

Of course you know that name.

He's the one... That's Douglas Train.

He's been asking about you all
afternoon. I promised I'd buzz as soon

back.

Lacey.

Yes.

Yes, well, I know she's on her way, so
I... Oh, oh, here she comes right now.

Right away.

Right.

At the end of the day, what does he
want?

Come on.

I've got to get coffee.

Hey, look at that good guy.

Come in, Mrs. Lacey.

We're here.

Lieutenant Cagney's right behind me. I
want to be clear on something.

You're an investigator for the district
attorney.

You serve at his pleasure.

Your loyalties, wherever your emotions
may take you, belong right here, right?

I understand, sir. You're not a cop. No
bleeding blue on this assignment.

I understand, sir.

What's up?

I'm supposed to be loyal to the district
attorney.

She knows that.

Why would you think she wouldn't know
that? I don't want anybody to

misunderstand anything.

Anyhow, the police and the DA are on the
same side.

Aren't they?

Two nights ago, a volunteer from the
Christ the Savior Soup Kitchen

the body of a young male in the dumpster
between the church and a building at

2141 South Vandermeer in the 27th
Precinct.

The victim was carrying two different
sets of identification.

He could be a resident alien, a
naturalized citizen, or an illegal with

docks. He is ethnic Chinese.

Died of a single gunshot wound at point
-blank range.

Now, the coroner found this stuff caught
in his front teeth. I want you to take

a look at that.

Little hairs, like fuzz.

And blue.

Exactly.

The lab thinks these are fibers from
fake fur found on the collar of a

patrolman's jacket. So what are you
saying?

If the victim was struggling with a
police officer, he might have used his

teeth? And some of the hair stuck there?

That is the theory.

What's the caliber of the slug?

Nine millimeter.

Any officer -involved shootings reported
that night?

None reported.

Now listen, homicide is cooperating with
internal affairs and the district

attorney is going to be involved in this
investigation.

It could be one bad cop.

Could be no bad cop.

Could be a civilian in a police jacket.

Yeah, or it could be something worse.

Last time there was a PD scandal, we
weren't ready.

And the former district attorney got
creamed.

Now whatever kind of bombshell this is,
that will not happen this time. Our

district attorney has a very bright
future of service to the city of New

ahead of him.

And it's my job to see to it that it
stays that way.

So?

So nothing.

So?

What don't you like?

Our Mr. Train has already decided what
this is.

So he hasn't.

I take it back.

Don't start with me, Mary Beth.

Been a long day.

I know.

Hi, it's Tom Cornell.

You want to meet me and a couple of
friends for dinner?

How's that for forward?

Well, I just thought, what the hell,
right?

You can always ignore the call.

What was that?

A lawyer. I just met him.

Today?

Divorce day? I was not flirting. I swear
to God.

He sounds young.

Well... We're meeting at Mucho Gusto's
at 8.

55th and 3rd.

Hope to see you there.

Bye -bye.

Mucho Gusto's. He is young.

What do you think?

Go. If it can't be good, be careful.

Night. Listen, one way or the other, you
better call me. I'll just worry.

Oh, Alice says there's a weird message
on the phone at home. You should

check it out. Bye.

Yeah, I'm calling Meg Beth Lacey on
behalf of her father, Martin.

If you get this message, meet me at
Winnie's this evening in Yonkers.

I'm sorry, but I don't have a phone and
I must talk to you this night.

It's about your father.

I hope to be making your acquaintance.

Thank you.

Made bad?

Close enough.

Just about giving you up.

What is this about?

Sit down a minute, sweetheart.

You want something to warm you up? No,
thanks.

Oh.

Can I buy you a drink?

Thank you, darling.

I'll have one more, please.

It's cold.

Well.

Your father and I, we've been living
together for some time now.

I hope that doesn't shock you.

No. Not if you're both happy.

Well, you're the dear, dear man.

You know this.

Hmm.

Never better roses.

I know you two have had your problems.

I've had trouble with my loved ones,
too, but I'm happy to say we've lived by

cons to be by cons. And my sister has
very kindly offered me an extension.

She's extended me the offer of her
apartment in Arizona.

Could be interesting if it takes five
years off your life.

Last winter nearly did me in.

My sister doesn't want to have any part
of Martin, which is understandable, so I

thought you're being his daughter. Where
is Martin?

I'll get them back off as they have.

Martin?

He doesn't recognize me.

Ma 'am?

Wait!

Um, got some soda for the ladies?

Um, no, mine's the club soda.

Well, I thought you had to ask him about
the car.

Do I say commissioner?

How can you justify taking a limo to get
to work?

He starts flapping his arms and he's
screaming.

It's a sedan.

It's not a perk. It's security.

Who wants to kill him?

Nobody. Well, that's what I say to him.
I say nobody wants to kill you,

Commissioner. It's not important enough
to kill him.

Actually, I hear he's got a restraining
order on his wife. Come after him. Ex

-wife. Wife?

She's on Pac -Man, but she won't quit
drinking. But he'll listen in.

You're kidding.

And he's scared to death of her, but all
the money's from her side, so... So

that's why none of this stuff gets into
the paper.

You know, I am so sick of the fear of
having to apologize for working for a

tablet.

And number one, we never get to print...
Any of the good stuff. The really good

stuff. Right, and the people I talk to,
this is what they want to hear.

Don't worry, the mayor's right. We'll
hit up. You both have plenty to print.

Man, dull and duller.

So which way do you think your paper's
going to jump, Pam? Are they going to

endorse my guy, pick a winner for a
change? I hear they like the DA.

Well, not that you'd notice.

I did a little press release on stuff
last year, and your Metro editor cut us

slack. Well, don't take it personally.

I don't take it personally.

Do you take it personally?

You just think the mayor's dull because
he's got the city running so smoothly.

Tom, the man's a cypher.

Well, you're all too young, but I
remember the last mayor who had real

What?

John Lindsay.

Why? I couldn't think of anyone but
LaGuardia.

LaGuardia? I know.

LaGuardia was during the Depression.

God, Tom, just because I remember him
does not mean I voted for Fiorello

LaGuardia. My father worked for Lindsay.

Oh, well, thank you, Paul.

In high school.

Isn't that swell?

Well, I'm sure you all remember my
favorite governor, Peter Stuyvesant.

Morning. What's wrong?

Can you get Alice to school?

I think he's sick.

Mary Beth, he's just old.

It's a shock to you. I want to take him
into emergency.

His breathing's not right.

Okay.

Doctor, I hope I was right to bring Mr.
Swisky in.

You're Mr.

Swisky's... Daughter, yeah. What can you
tell me?

I have a few questions.

What medications is he taking?

I don't know.

Is he allergic to any medications?

Uh, he didn't have anything on him.

Well, I'm going to need a word with his
physician.

Who does he see?

I don't know.

Does he have a physician?

I can't tell you that.

Mr.

Zavisky's residence is here in Queens.

No, that's my address. He spent the
night. Is he all right?

He has pneumonia and a rather severe
infection in his left ear.

He's suffering from dementia.

Dementia?

He's disoriented.

He didn't know me or my husband, but if
he's got a high fever, couldn't that

account for it?

I'll have to see.

What do you know about the bruises?

Bruises? On his arms and torso.

I don't know anything about bruises.

Look, Doctor, um, we're estranged for
years and years.

I only saw him again last night.

I understand.

I see. It must have been a shock, I can
imagine.

It was a real shock.

Your husband as well?

We both were. Sure.

I'll try to find out his medical
history, Doctor. Thank you.

I'd like to get back to last night.

Did you and your husband have words
about your father?

A fight? No.

I'm just trying to explain the bruises,
ma 'am.

Well, he's pretty unsteady. Maybe he
fell down. Do you consider your father

intrusion on your life? I didn't hit my
father, doctor. Neither did my husband.

Tell me what's on call. I'm sorry, but I
don't know how he's been living. Maybe

the woman he was with knocked him
around.

You know your question?

Hey, I'm a retired police officer. I
know the questions that get asked when

there's suspected domestic abuse. I
don't hit.

Never, ever.

The last 12 hours is the first time I've
seen him in seven years. That's three

times since I'm eight years old. Is
everything all right, doctor?

I'm not going to do anything. I'm sorry
for the way things look.

I'm sorry I raised my voice.

Mrs.

Lacey.

Mrs. Lacey has agreed to keep her cool.

I think we'll be all right.

Morning, Sergeant.

I'm supposed to be Captain Card.

I'm Captain Card.

How do you do?

Mary Beth Lacey, district attorney's
office.

Yes. Why are you here?

Oh, well, uh, this is part of an attempt
by the DA's office to increase

communication. Why did the DA's office
pick us?

Well, uh... I'd like to know what we've
done to merit any kind of attention from

the DA so we can be sure of doing it
again.

Have there been problems?

Are you an attorney, Miss Lacey?

Me? No.

I'm a retired police officer.

but in quite a few years is the one for.

Oh, so you know Burt Samuels.

He's a good man.

Yeah. You see him?

No, he's in Florida.

Oh.

Well, let me give you the picture here.

Over 60 % of our population is resident
alien.

We have problems with language, with
witnesses who are afraid of deportation,

problems that come with thousands of men
separated from their families, living

too close to each other, and raised not
to call on the police when they get into

trouble. I see.

So when someone comes here from the D
.A.'s office, my expectations are low.

But they got off on the right foot with
you.

You'll let me know if you need anything.

Thank you, Captain.

Tell me, this is a big... What?

What?

I don't like spying on police officers.

You're not... This is undercover work.
You're not going undercover.

Well, I like putting on the wigs and
making up stories, but this is going

a... Going into a precinct at me and
lying about why I'm there.

Like it?

What do I need an office for?

For me.

Well, you know how you're always saying
that the sky should be the limit for me

in police work?

True. In terms of talent, I never met
anyone better. And I have done

to run away from that potential. Have I
not?

I mean, I'm always acting like I have
all the time in the world for

Well, I don't.

So I am putting the message out that I
am serious.

Politics and all.

And every stick of furniture and every
new phone line is a vote of confidence.

Okay. Good.

I prepped a sheet here of the officers
that I want you to get in contact with.

I'll be getting the personnel files
later, but you can start on that.

Are you all right?

I caught it back in my life.

Oh, Mary Beth, that's great.

How is that great?

Are you speaking to him?

Yeah, we're speaking.

This is good.

Obviously, you have mixed emotions about
it, but I think it's good.

I'd give anything to spend another day
with my mom.

That's two different things, Christine,
completely.

It's not. He's your father.

It's good you're seeing him.

How is he?

He's good.

I'm not his keeper, Angela.

I don't know why your boyfriend hasn't
called.

The watch commander says Jock is sick.

I want to know how he's feeling is all.
Forget it, all right?

I'll be happy to.

Hey, if Jock wants to call you, he'll
call you.

This is a restricted area.

Oh, yeah. I got the CO's permission.

Officer Lum.

That's right.

Mary Beth Lacey, district attorney's
office.

Nice to meet you.

I'm offering a workshop this week.

on VAPD relations, and I was wondering
if you would be my co -conspirator.

I don't know a soul here. And I got your
name off of this report that was filed

a couple days ago.

Uh, the 7th.

And it is a very good example of a well
-written report.

I was wondering if I could use it in my
workshop.

What report is that?

The young Chinese homicide victim. You
found him in the what?

The lot?

Dumpster.

Pretty routine report.

No witnesses.

Mainly we just secured the area for
homicide.

You recognize the victim?

No.

Oh, he was dressed like a fob.

Fresh off the boat.

But I think he'd been here a while.

And he was making money.

Why? Well, if a guy's entering this
country, there are thousands of dollars

debt for the passage.

You know, they spend a dime on stuff
like haircuts. They cut each other's

But see, this guy's hair was styled.

And you can see that here, one of those
kind of eyebrows that kind of go right

across. But it was plucked right here.

And why didn't any of that make the
report?

Because it's speculating. I thought we
were supposed to keep the reports by the

book.

Right you are.

I knew I was right to look you up.

So, want to introduce me around?

Sure thing. Come on.

That's Lum. L -U -M?

Yeah.

Angela. She was at the scene.

Yeah. Pulled her jacket.

I'll come in in the morning, go over the
files with you.

We'll be here another hour. Why don't
you come in? We'll do it now.

I can't. Sorry.

Who are you looking for?

I wanted to know how Mr. Zbyshek is.

522, that way. Just stick your head in.

I don't want to disturb him. I just want
to know how he is.

Beverly's the RN. She's with him now.
Just go ahead in.

I'll wait.

It's really okay.

I'll wait.

11

and

a half minutes. Okay, hold on.

Watch out, baby. Here I come.

Oh, my God. It's enough there for an
army, huh?

How's that for timing, huh?

He's responding to the antibiotics.

They're still giving him oxygen.

To a puppet's nose?

I guess.

And they drained the ear.

Ew!

Don't ew. You used to get ear infections
all the time.

Take that aside.

Is he out of it?

Uh, I didn't ask.

What did you feel?

Wasn't a good time.

Where's the skirt I have for you?

Daddy said I should wear pants if I'm
going to play kickball.

Daddy's right. I forgot.

Mom? What?

How many grandpuppies do I have?

One.

Where'd you hear that word?

I told Brittany that Martin was at our
house. And she said she had three

grandpuppies. It's from our two daddies.

You have one.

Martin loved me.

He never had the pleasure of knowing
you.

Don't you think knowing a person has
something to do with loving them?

I love him.

Why?

Because.

See?

That's for Martin.

Very nice.

Love, love, love.

You know what love is, Alice?

Love is your daddy remembering that you
have kickball today. You have to wear

pants.

But you don't think about that, do you?
Because your daddy is always there.

Where's the cards and stickers for
daddy?

When's the last time you made one for
him?

Saturday.

Harvey, why didn't you show me this?

Very nice.

Thanks a lot.

Come on in.

So, I gave him my tie. Can you imagine
wearing a black tie on the day you're

going to announce for mayor?

I'm sorry to interrupt. No, no. Come on
in. No, I'm going.

What's up?

I was coming in to look at the personnel
files on the 27.

I got them right here. I'll leave these
back before once. Okay.

A black tie.

Very big.

These are pure gold.

Sit down.

Gigi Cardenas is a lesbian.

Her girlfriend runs a travel agency, and
she got into big trouble because

someone accused her of sending police
business her way.

I mean, she was cleared, but... You
think that's any of our concern?

Of course not.

That's why it's so much fun to know.

This is everybody's nightmare. You know
that, don't you?

I'm sure she's a very worthwhile person.

People snooping around in confidential
files like they're a Jackie Collins

novel.

Gushing and giggling over private secret
stuff.

IRS secretaries, FBI clerks, people in
doctor's offices. How would you like

people snickering over your medical
history?

Would you like... It's just dishing.

I went over the names you gave me.

I pulled the people with the worst
records.

Got a 15 -year veteran who's been
suspended twice. He likes to use his

An officer who just transferred to the
27th who does moonlighting in a topless

bar on the island.

So? Well, the bar is owned by a Chinese
landlord who's done time for pandering.

Oh.

They have a fair amount of drugs and
alcohol rehabs, including Angela Lum, by

the way.

Does that make the 27th any different
than any other precinct? Until we get a

lead elsewhere that matches up with
somebody else's personal history.

Agni.

Oh, hi.

Actually,

it isn't a good time, though.

Yeah, let me call you back.

Five minutes.

Okay, bye.

Did you run across somebody named Jack?

Jack? No, like in French.

J -A -C -Q -U -E -S.

No, I would remember Jacques.

Why? I heard the name yesterday. It's
stuck in my brain.

I'll try and get the full name. Great,
thank you.

Oh, hey.

What's the news tonight? Our guy's
announcing.

Zero. Zero.

Zero tolerance for punks.

Zero tolerance for corruption.

Zero tolerance for business ads.

Thank you.

Thank you very much. Thank you. That's a
good color on you, Chris.

Oh, thank you. That's what I thought.

Zero tolerance for charisma.

He is a good man, Tom.

Well, he's got the Elmer Fudd vote. I've
got to hand it to him. What do you

think of the zero tolerance thing?

He paid big bucks for it.

Listen, it worked in a bunch of other
ways. Zero tolerance? The exact word?

Mm -hmm.

God, with all the money they pay for a
consultant, you'd think he'd come up

something a little more unique.

These guys don't want anything.

They love the fact that it plays in
Peoria.

Anybody ever hear of a DA who had to
keep reminding people he was tough?

This guy's doomed.

You wish.

He's running a classic female campaign.

I beg your pardon?

It's classic. It's Christine Whitman's
campaign.

He should only do so well.

He should only look so tough.

I've learned the trick to getting Pam to
spill the real good dirt.

You've got to catch her between drinks
two and three.

You don't drink, huh?

Not today.

Not the last time either.

Right. All I do is take you to these
Margarita palaces.

Oh, that's all right. I've been on the
wagon for seven years.

I...

Fell off a bit this summer.

Hey, I had a good time, but apparently
nobody else did.

This

is

fun.

I had a great time.

Oh, God.

I had a great time.

I'm sorry, I'm out of practice.

I had a great time, too.

Are we finished talking?

Not nearly.

Would you like to continue this at my
place?

I can't.

Good night.

Good night.

Zbyszki, right?

Right. He's gone.

Someone was supposed to call you.

They put him on the other side when he
stabilized.

What?

He's stable, so they put him in a
different room.

He's all right.

Yeah, he's doing good.

Yeah, where's Mr. Zbyszki at?

I'll get you the number.

Mm -hmm.

503. Thanks.

503.

That way.

Pardon me.

Mrs. Bishke in Bible 3?

He could use a shave.

Well, I'll make a note for the morning.

Thank you very much.

Night.

You have a good one.

It would have been a whole lot easier if
Angela had said the man's name was

Jock. Instead of Jock.

And a T to Jock -a -mole.

Jock, right?

Oh, wow, isn't that too seven, huh? It
would have been nicer if she had

enunciated more clearly and said Jock.
No, that was my fault.

You're suspicious of her, huh?

I don't like that she called in sick
today.

Is she going to disappear?

I don't like coincidences, that's all.

Yes.

Angela, hey, it's Mary Beth Lacey. Can I
come up?

Angela?

Good decision, Angela.

Hiya. Hi.

Come on.

This is Lieutenant Chris Cagney.

Officer Lum?

Amanda.

Oh, this is nice.

Yeah, kitchen's huge.

Benjamin gets a lot of life.

What do you pay, if you don't mind my
asking?

Uh, $8 .75.

In this location, that is nice.

So am I going to lose it?

What?

My Manhattan fantasy place was the best
apartment I've ever had.

What makes you think you're going to
lose him?

She's from Internal Affairs, isn't she?

No. No, we're both with the DA. But
you're looking into that homicide case,

aren't you?

I knew it.

I don't have anything to say.

Chris, could you read this for me?

We work together so long, she reads my
writing better than I do.

Could I have a glass of water, please?

Sure.

Is that a G or a 6?

It's a 6.

Thank you.

Thanks.

You want to take a minute and think this
over?

It's a pretty big deal, not cooperating.

This is up there.

What is that?

Key tag.

Virginia is for lovers.

It was on the ground near the dumpster.

Why would you steal evidence?

I wouldn't. Never.

These are mine.

It's the same tag.

I just assumed that it was mine.

I tucked it into my blouse pocket, kept
working.

I didn't even register what I was doing.

But when I got home and used my keys, I
thought I hadn't lost my tag.

So you turned it in.

Angela, what's the problem?

I thought I knew who it was.

I really must have made a million of
these, but I wanted to check.

Leonard DiGiacomo.

Is it his?

I think so.

I can't get Jack to call me.

Mr. DiGiacomo!

Christine Cagney?

Hi. Do I know you?

No, ma 'am. I'm looking for one of your
neighbors. Have you seen Jock lately?

Across the street?

Yes, ma 'am.

This is ridiculous.

Come inside.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

None of us have seen Jock for almost a
week.

Does he always leave his porch light on?

Nobody on this side of the street has
seen him in days, and it's impossible to

see in the house.

Let me tell you the story of that job,
and you tell me if it matters.

He barely squeaks through the academy.

His career is marginal. He has problems
with every sergeant that he works with,

but he takes the detective exam, and he
scores through the roof.

Now, they throw out the results, but
they let him take the test again, and he

decides not to take it.

You think he sounds like a cheat.

Yeah. So do I.

Okay. One of us... God!

What?

The boat is gone. I thought I'd tell
you.

What boat?

Your friend.

Kept a big ugly boat all winter in the
drive.

Thank you.

Really?

The heck was that?

After you.

Don't worry about it, Mary Beth. It's
practically a test, John.

Practically is the operative word.

Oh, gee.

Careful.

Oh, they got beds down there?

Below.

They call it glow.

John!

Easy.

Well, I guess.

I'd say it's a party boat.

You hear that?

Yes, the boat knocking on the pier.

Not on the pier side.

Well, it's probably, you know, a lobster
potter.

What do you call it?

Crab trap.

Thank you, Captain Nemo.

Good morning, Chris.

Did you see DiGiacomo's hands?

What? He was wrapped in a tarp.

Somebody cut off his hands.

They cut off his hands?

Yeah.

I gotta go.

There's the CO.

That's Captain Cod.

Let's go.

No, she's maybe...

Busted by Captain Cardenas.

She looks like the type that would hold
a grudge.

Not funny, Christine.

You cut off hands, but someone's
stealing from you, right?

Right. So what was Jock stealing?

Chris, I don't like not seeing your face
when we talk.

And do we have to have separate offices?

I feel ridiculous in that room.

You feel ridiculous because you were
spying on your own and you got caught.

Am I right?

Possibly.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry. I thought you were asleep.

Oh, is that wrong?

No, no.

How are you feeling?

I feel good. How are you feeling?

Beat. Oh.

You look good.

Thanks.

Can I ask you something?

Sure. What kind of place is this?

It's a hospital.

A sip?

You got one or two things?

Don't you feel sick?

No, I feel good.

Okay.

I just don't like knowing where the hell
I am.

You?

The happy wanderer?

Me?

You can't stand the old familiar places.

That's the other guy.

Oh, what other guy?

The guy with the hat.

How you doing, Martin?

I'm good.

Oh, you've got your daughter here.

Maybe your daughter will help you finish
your dinner. Does that sound like a

plan?

Sure.

Well,

let's see what you got here.

What?

What's so funny?

She thinks you're my daughter.

She's a riot.

Yes, she is.

Cream corn, rice, and your guess is as
good as mine. What do you want?

I'd rather guess than know.

The last thing to go is the charm.

You should have seen him. Now, listen,
if you didn't know who you were, you'd

rely on the basics, too.

Be nice, talk nice, don't argue, and all
the strangers won't hurt you.

So?

What are you going to do when he's
better?

Wait, slow down.

Well, you've got to think about it. I
mean, when the hospital decides he's

he's going to be out on the sidewalk
like that.

Nobody's putting him on the street.

No, they'll put him in the first
convalescent home with an open bed.

Then fine.

That'll be fine.

Thanks. Just give me the five.

Hi.

Hi.

Pam and Paul bailed.

Pam's got to work late.

Yeah, I talked to her this afternoon.
She said she had a deadline she had to

meet. So why don't we take a break from
the same old, same old. Is this place

okay?

Actually, I don't need a lot of things.

What are we doing here?

No problem.

Tender's never a problem with me.

You like people who just get it out,
huh?

Don't you?

Absolutely.

So, Tom, what's going on here?

What?

Well, we seem to get along in every
department, but one. Is the sun also

Well, tell me about the war, Tom.

You know, there's a Jamaican jerk place,
between first and second. You like

jerk? I like jerk very much.

Big jerk who wiggles off subjects.

What's going on?

We can't speak together, Chris.

Good. Starting from there.

But knowing that, I just decided it
would be counterproductive to do the

ancillary sex things.

I just thought it'd be easier to stop if
we never got started. Don't you think?

Why can't we sleep together?

It's too embarrassing.

Are you gay?

You think that's embarrassing?

Not at all, are you?

No. I didn't think so.

Listen, I'm sure I'm not the only person
in the world who's made mistakes in the

area of sex.

You're not the only person in the couple
who's made those mistakes.

You want to swap embarrassing stories?

Maybe if you weren't looking at me.

Okay.

So, stuff I could tell you.

The coyote mornings, where you'd rather
chew off your arm than wake the person

next to you.

The recurring search for where you left
your car the night before.

Okay.

I went down to St. Bart's last month,
and I came back with this

thing.

A treatable thing?

Oh, completely.

And I'm in the midst of treatment.

I'll be as good as new.

We better have some good tales, lady.

Let it begin.

It's all right, Mary Beth.

What is that supposed to mean?

What's your feeling about Martin?

Thank you. Go to bed.

Come in yourself. Let me hold you.

Barb, if I wanted to be held, I wouldn't
be ironing a good tablecloth.

Mary Beth, he's not going to be your
father for you ever.

The kids never had him as a grandfather.
They never will.

Your head knows that.

You told me to make up with him.

Over the years, then you were probably
right, Harvey.

Forget about it, baby. No, Harvey, let
me alone.

Good morning.

The alarm didn't go off. She's going to
be late for school.

I took her. I let her sleep in.

I appreciate it.

Body, you found me the paper.

Yeah? Yeah. Look at this.

To protect and sever.

I don't think it's funny.

I mean, no matter how rotten an egg the
guy was, he was the cop.

They got no business with this headline.

Now, listen to this.

In a city already bleeding from a
reputation for corruption, the brutal

of Officer Leonard DiGiac... DiGiacomo.

DiGiacomo, discovered handless and
frozen yesterday, may be the unkindest

all. An investigation by the Globe
reveals that DiGiacomo may be linked to

death of an unidentified man early this
week.

DiGiacomo was assigned to the notorious
27th Precinct. Notorious? Which,

according to records obtained
exclusively by the Globe, appears to be

department's dumping grounds for misfits
of every stripe.

What?

Run by a homosexual commanding officer
who herself has faced accusations of

misconduct. Wait a second. Go back,
Harvey. Did that say according to

which according to records obtained
exclusively by the Globe... Douglas

Oh, he's quoted in the story.

No, no, he's not. Listen, an assistant
district attorney who asked to remain

unidentified.

Yeah.

They ran everything.

The unproven allegations, the times in
rehab, everything all lumped together,

everything sounded connected, and it's
got nothing to do with these murders,

nothing. When has the press ever gotten
it straight?

They decide what the story is, then they
morph the facts to fit it.

To us, it's two unsolved murders. To
them, it's the rotten precinct story.

Just be glad that it's not another one
of those what's not working in the city

or where was the DA story.

I know who leaked... Who leaked those
files.

You do not.

I do, Chris.

He's the ADA who's quoted in the story.

He's campaigning for his boss.

And he had access to the files.

Douglas Trink.

Douglas Trink.

I hate it that we let him see them.

He's a lawyer, for God's sake.

Those are confidential records.

And I am going to tell him what I think
of it.

Conference, Mary Beth.

Don't do it.

He's going to deny it, and he's going to
resent you for accusing him.

Too bad.

Douglas Crane won't be my best friend. I
could live with his resentment. Then

think about me. You're going to go blast
him. I'm the one who's going to take

the heat.

Look, we serve at his pleasure.

Okay, for you, you know Harvey's back in
a good job.

You can kick this off.

I'm serious about seeing how far I can
go.

I threw Dixon around with my career, and
politics is part of what I do now.

Yes.

And as politics goes, this isn't that
big a deal.

Your political friends are responsible
for blood -brushing an entire precinct

full of police officers.

It is the very biggest sort of a deal. I
didn't cut off the guy's hand.

Look, the best thing we can do now is
find out why DiGiacomo was killed. You

want to work?

Of course I want to work.

Fine. I'll be going back over the
evidence report from Jack's house.

They found a bank book and a jersey
driver's license for a Robert Dory.

I don't get it.

Well, the first victim was found with
two different sets of ID on him, a green

card and a jersey driver's license.

Didn't you say that the 27th was full of
immigrants?

Forged documents.

Yeah.

I'm going to run it by bunco. I may even
call INS. Are you willing to go back to

the precinct? I better be.

Hey, your father's in the hospital?

Yeah.

I called your apartment. Harvey told me.

Yeah.

Well, you didn't mention it. Is he going
to be okay?

He'll be fine.

I have a message for the district
attorney.

Two can play at this game.

Yes, Captain.

I don't know that the district attorney
is responsible for that article. I don't

care what you know.

This precinct is off -limits to you.

Now, my officers have been instructed to
cooperate with homicide and with

internal affairs. Until I am satisfied
that the DA is going to stop playing

politics with the lives of my people,
his representatives here are not welcome

in this precinct.

Get it?

Yes.

The release of those documents is an
outrage.

I've asked for an investigation. I don't
need your outrage.

Yes, ma 'am.

Angela.

I'm so sorry.

Don't be sorry for me.

I was an idiot about Jock.

I ruined my life over the guy.

Him and his scams.

Can I sit down?

Yeah.

Scams, you say?

Look at Angela.

Did Jock ever offer to get you a fake
ID?

How'd you know about that?

He did.

A driver's license.

He knew how petrified I was about the
test. Everybody here knows.

Last time I had to take it three times
before I passed.

He just said, forget about it. He'd get
me one.

From Jersey?

Yeah.

Listen, can I tell you about something
that's always stuck in my brain?

Sure.

We rode together only once, one night.

And I remember this guy coming up to him
in the car, sort of trotting up, we

were out of light.

And Jock reached up to turn on the, what
do you call it, the dome light on.

And then he just switched it right off.

That guy just spun around and ran off.

It's so strange, I remember.

I don't get it.

See, he came up like a friend.

But with the light on, you could see
that Jock wasn't alone in the car.

Jock must have wanted to warn him off,
if that's what I think.

Did you recognize this guy?

No, it was the first time I ever saw
him.

But when they brought him in a couple of
months later, I recognized him.

Felix J. Marcola. He's doing a nickel in
Port Snow.

For what?

Armed robbery.

Hijacked a truck delivering office
equipment.

Took $20 ,000 worth of four -color toner
cartridges.

What's that?

The toner for copy machines.

Big laser copiers.

The cartridges were for machines that
were so new they'd barely gone on the

market. Marcola leaves a truck full of
computers, only takes the cartridges.

You're right about there being forges. I
know you are.

You going out tonight?

No. I didn't hear from him today.

Oh. It's all right. I just didn't hear.

He's a busy guy. I'm a busy girl.

Are you one of the even keel?

What's that supposed to mean?

About Tom?

About Tom? About Jim?

I'm okay.

I did some drinking this summer.

I know.

What do you mean you know? How could you
know? I only drank at night.

I knew when you were drinking, and now I
know you're not.

You knew?

Agni.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir, we've got some information.
Could you hold on just one moment,

Okay, very good. Now, we broke this
case, your little brain and mine.

Now, we'll send this stuff up the
channel.

ADA train, meet Bob Cortez, Associate
Director. That's the Managing Director.

Ah, congratulations.

Managing Director, Atlantic States Metro
North Division.

So, what's the matter, Ben? You didn't
think we had enough agencies working

this? Our old friend Terry Lucchesi from
INF.

Sure, we've spoken.

Special Agent Randall Mark, New York
State Task Force on Organized Crime.

Randall. And you know Detective Shue. I
get it right?

Uh, who?

NYPD Homicide.

and Captain Gigi Cardenas of the 27th.

And that's everyone. If we take our
seats, we can begin the briefing.

Now, I've asked these locals to join us
because their investigations have

impacted on our project, codenamed
Bogus.

You locals came in time for all the fun.

Bogus is the single largest source of
counterfeit documentation operating in

country. They prey on immigrant
populations who are in the country

and they have proven themselves to be
ruthless in their response to less

organized mom -and -pop forgers.

The death and dismemberment of Leonard
DiGiacomo is further proof of their

viciousness.

It was due to the work of a unit in the
DA's office that the connection with

Bogus was made.

Pardon me, sir.

Yeah?

Mary Beth Lacey with the district
attorney.

I just want to clear up the record. The
connection was made due to a great lead

provided by a patrol officer in the 27th
Precinct of the New York Police

Department.

That's for the record.

All right.

Let's go over the plans for tomorrow's
action.

At 0800 hours tomorrow, Eastern Time,
agents will gather in seven locations.

What, you don't want one? Sure, coffee
with.

Thanks.

Lacey. Yes, ma 'am.

Captain Cardenas, this is Lieutenant
Christine Cagney. Captain. Lieutenant.

Well, good luck today.

Excuse me.

Make some setup, huh?

Look, um, this isn't exactly an apology.

No, Captain.

You don't have anything to apologize
for. No. You should know.

Right before we had words, I heard that
I'd fallen out of contention for an

appointment I had high hopes for.

Ah. Oh.

Well, the Law Enforcement Oversight
Board isn't exactly the Supreme Court,

guess I took it pretty hard, so... I
guess it is an apology.

Sorry.

No. The Leo board, that's what you're
talking about.

Right.

Oh, don't worry, Lacey.

It's only a career.

Keep it careful out there.

Yes, ma 'am.

Whatever. We'll talk about it later.

You got that right.

Wait.

Show me your hands.

Your hands.

I need to see your hands. Both of them.

Get them up.

Both of them up!

Don't you breathe.

Leave it go.

Mother of a piece of... Here's your cut.

Well... Well... Talk to me, Chris.

I'm okay!

They give you something for paying?

Yeah. Would you talk to me?

No, it'll keep.

No, now!

You leak those files, you see?

Don't tell me. There's going to be an
investigation, and I won't lie for you,

don't tell me.

First of all, there isn't going to be
any investigation.

You did it.

You let me think it was Doug Crane.

You shipped me off to Siberia. That was
part of it, too.

You let a whole precinct full of police
officers get their reputations torched,

and you humiliated one of the only
handful of women in this city to work

up to captain. I did not make up her
file.

She sleeps with girls. Look, her private
life is so humiliating. She's not

ashamed, and you know it. She's
realistic.

It wasn't personal.

Come on, do I care who moves her lawn?
Come on. You know me.

I don't know you.

No, what you don't know is what you've
got to do to get in.

That's right.

I'm so small -time, I don't understand
how doing something wrong can be right.

Go home, Mary Beth. I'm done. Just go
home to Big Harvey and Little Alice and

forget how the real world goes.

I'm done with you.

I thought I'd owe you for Harvey's life
forever.

I owe you nothing anymore.

Sorry about that.

I'm sorry.

Hey, I'm sorry!

What do you want from me?

Oh, God.

I feel crap.

Hi, Mom.

There you are.

I'm late, huh?

I was just telling the gang, where the
hell's my favorite gal?

Hmm. Well, want a little dinner?

Huh?

Are you a dog?

I'm a dog.

Mmm.

Macaroni and cheese.

Hey, what's the matter?

Nothing.

Sit down.

Come on, sit down.

I just lost a friend.

My friend.

Your dad?

You think you know a person. I mean...
We're different, but I...

At heart, I thought we knew who each
other was.

And that's gone now.

Hey, now, don't worry.

You've got me.

What did you say?

You can always count on me.

That's right, Martin.

I can always count on you.

Mary Pat?

The bust was on the national news.

Yeah? Yeah. They showed it in Texas and
Florida.

I taped it.

Dallas asleep?

Yeah.

But she wants you to read her history
homework.

Okay.

Did you see Martin?

Mm -hmm.

And then I went to see Antonio Grasso's
sister -in -law.

Who?

I'm Tonya Grasso from Bowling.

The sister -in -law is Filipino. She
runs a group home for the elderly.

And I thought I would check it out for
Martin.

It's clean as a whistle, but homey.

And it's right in the neighborhood.

And there's six residents, two of which
are men, which is lucky because usually

it's all women. I didn't know he'd go
nuts with all women.

What do you think?

It won't matter to him. You know that,
right?

It'll matter to him.

And it matters to me.

There's something there, Hoff, between
him and me.

And I think it's a gift straight from
God.

Have you been waiting long?

No, I just got here.

Sorry. What's up?

They've decided on the appointment to
the Leo board.

It's not you.

I hope leaking those files does your
career some good.

Because you didn't do a damn thing for
me.

Stella. I'm surprised they went with
Gigi Carton. Oh, no, not after that

stuff. You know, it's really appalling
how uptight everybody's gotten over

lifestyle. They're naming Audrey
Poulton.

Who's Audrey Poulton?

Civil rights attorney, married with a
couple kids.

From what I hear, you got shafted. It's
a complete double standard. A guy with

your past, no problem.

My past?

What past?

The drinking?

Are they kidding?

Oh, come on. Chris, it's so disgusting.

It's not just the drinking. It is not
just all the guys. They read it as an

instability. All the guys?

That's what I hear.

How would anybody know about any guys?

Guess you told someone.

May I help you? Yeah, I want to see Mr.

Broadbent.

Tell him I've got Willie Mays' jockstrap
for sale. That ought to get him out

here.

Forget it.

Excuse me, but Mr. Broadbent is very
busy.

Hey, if you wanted to know about my sex
life, Dan, all you had to do was ask.

Excuse me, fellas.

I owe you an apology.

Oh, kiss my ass.

Kiss my Irish ass.

Sympathize completely.

The public is on a hair trigger these
days.

So unwilling to forgive. So quick to
judge.

If there's a safer candidate, that's the
way we have to go.

Now, listen.

I wouldn't pass muster myself.

Don't think I'd ever sit in a judgment
of you. You are slicker than black ice,

fella.

The public? What a load of crap. The
public did not invade my privacy.

The only people who entered my life
under false pretenses and screwed me

were Tom Cornell and yourself.

And to set me up on the day of my
divorce.

You really are a schmuck.

Tom, hi.

Well, come on out. I'm not going to kill
you.

I'm not going to carve your heart out
and stick it in the window of a Mexican

restaurant. Hey, I'm not even going to
go out and spread the word about your

dirty deeds.

After all, you have an entire career
ahead of you.

Now, I'm going to wait until you've got
a lot more to lose.

Tag me. We're getting a great response
on this whole thing. Come on upstairs

with me. We're going to debrief the boss
and get a little slice of the glory.

Okay. I'll get Mary Beth. I know. She
took off a couple hours ago. I let her.

Oh.

Her father had a stroke or something. I
didn't hear the details, but it sounded

pretty bad.

Haughton.

Morton?

Daddy?

whether or not they want

me to make a decision and i can't it's

massive stroke massive brain damage

when they when he went cold blue they
broke some of his ribs getting his heart

restarted he can't breathe on his own
he's in a coma

Kidneys are failing.

And I'm supposed to... I'm supposed to
tell them what he would want.

I know what I'm supposed to do.

If it was Mother, I'd know.

But you have to really... You have to
know someone for that.

Or Harvey.

How can I decide this for Martin?

It's too... I know

what they want.

They want me to let him go.

I just got him back.

1162. 1190.

Here.

1202. This is it.

What do you think?

That's an awful lot of money for a hole
in the ground.

It's up to you.

I always figured that for a scatter -to
-the -winds kind of guy.

I want him in Queens.

Good.

I never want to wonder where he is
again.

This would be nice.

Very New York.

Is this okay?

Okay.

I put a call in to Captain Carden this
morning. I figured you wouldn't want to

miss it.

You got that right.

Cagney?

Yes, Captain.

Yes, I did call you.
