What do you got? I can see some blood in the back seat,

and there�s a woman�s shoe.

This girl reports her sister missing an hour ago,

we put an alarm out on the car.

I just finished tagging the car when I heard.

All right. Let me open the trunk.

If she�s safe, nothing else bothers me.

I�d feel the same way.

We don�t keep anything in the trunk.

Just a Jack for flats?

That�s all we keep.

What�s in there?

What�s in there? What�s in there?

Is there anything beside the Jack?

Is there anything in there?

D.o.a.�s Mary genova. She�s in the back bedroom.

Who are these two?

Cousin of the D.O.A. that lives here.

She said the d. O. A.�s husband found the body.

Sitting next to her.

Luciano baca, and her name is Annabelle cito.

Luciano baca?

Yes, i�m Luciano.

New York City detectives.

Good, good, good. This is my wife�s cousin Anna.

How do you do?

I�m Danny Sorenson.

This is my partner Andy sipowicz.

Sorry for your loss.

Poor Mary.

You have any idea what happened to your wife?

I don�t see her since 9:00 last night.

I come to say good morning, I find her like this,

and the will all torn up.

Mary�s will naming her son frank as the beneficiary.

Dear me.

I hope it�s not frank who did this.

Did anyone hear or see frank come in last night?

I�m in my room, look at the TV.

You don�t sleep in the same room with your wife?

She keep me in a different room.

Where were you?

I was in my room also.

Different from luciano�s.

We are cousins.

Canvas, Danny?

Yeah, please, Greg. Anything after 9:00.

Well, excuse US.

We�re going to go look back in the other room.

I hope it�s not frank.

Stay calm. Stay calm, Luciano.

She tear up the will.

Murder?

The doc came down for Mary.

How do you know she�s dead?

What am I supposed to think, there�s a raffle going on?

What�s your name?

Anthony. Who do you suspect?

We just started looking into things, Anthony.

There�s a son she doesn�t speak to,

and her husband -- anything that moves,

starting with the cousin that lives there.

How old are you?

How old do you want me to be?

You want to come inside with US?

I�d like to break my cherry seeing this woman�s apartment

i�ve lived across the hall from for over 17 years.

So we know you�re at least 17.

Sherlock friggin� Holmes.

Come on. Let me get a look.

Doesn�t have to be the d. O. A.

Getting pissed off and tearing up the will.

Someone don�t want the kid getting the money

kills her and tears the will up.

It�s the son or the goofy guy.

She had nice stuff, the old wicked witch of the west.

Anthony, at last you get to see mary�s place?

Better late than never.

Go ahead, go ahead. You want to look around?

Don�t mind if I do.

We�re going to need the both of you to come in.

Yeah, all right.

I�ll put on some clothes.

I�ll go the way I am.

What�s going on with him?

That�s a neighbor that�s at least 17.

I tried selling her chocolates first in 1974.

Is that so?

She did everything but spit in my eye.

He had to be at least 4. That makes him 30 minimum.

So you disliked this woman.

With a passion.

Where were you last night?

Where was I? What are you, a moron for asking that?

That�s not a direct answer.

I was in my apartment with my cousin Freddy,

of which, when he comes to, he�ll back me up.

Andy.

My name�s frank genova.

I just got a message someone killed my mother.

We can talk in here.

I�m not fully current on the case�s particulars.

Yeah, I don�t care.

Um, coffee?

I�m a vitamin distributor.

The last two days, I was in tarrytown, New York,

at the vitawonder regional summit.

Dozens of people saw me.

I slept with Suzanne Jordan and Daphne Samson

and drove back with them this morning.

Establishing your whereabouts to indicate

you weren�t involved with your mother�s death.

That�s what i�m establishing.

You have any idea who might have been responsible?

Personally and business-wise, my mother was a bitch.

I hope it wasn�t that handyman she married. He seemed nice.

And his name?

Luciano.

Kept calling me, trying to get US back together.

Here�s my business number.

My wife actually was a distributor for vitawonder

a few years ago.

She wound up feeling

it was sort of like a pyramid scheme.

You can tell her that the Internet

is putting multi-tiered marketing in the toilet.

Frank.

Hi, Luciano.

Frank -- this is mary�s son.

Hey, you talk to someone upstairs, frank?

Yeah, I left my card.

Thank you.

Let go of him.

Sure, sure.

Sorry for your loss.

Where we go now?

Let�s get you distributed.

Anna: I need tea.

I�ll get you distributed, and then I will bring tea.

Nothing to drink,

but pretty soon, i�ve got a crap coming on.

All right, good.

Luciano, Anna.

Who talked to the d. O. A.�s son?

Me. He didn�t do it.

He didn�t.

He was banging two women in tarrytown --

a Suzanne and Daphne.

If the son�s out of the picture,

we�ll want to look

at the d. O. A.�s husband next.

She owned some property.

Her husband�s a paisan who was also her handyman,

so he could have wanted her dough.

There�s also a poor-relation cousin

that lives with them that a jug-eared

pain-in-the-balls midget that lives next door

was inferring the paisan handyman was putting it to.

We got the husband and the cousin to talk to.

Okay.

Vitawonder.

That�s a convention the son was at in tarrytown.

Weren�t those the vitamins your wife was selling

that made medavoy sick?

They didn�t. That turned out to be food poisoning.

Then what was that big flare-up

about them vitamins?

That was you taking umbrage

when I wouldn�t sell them to you.

Yeah. What was that about?

I just got uncomfortable

putting men on my squad in that position.

No, but that reluctance came up specifically

when I tried to buy them vitamins.

Anyways, that was five or six years ago.

I remember that now.

Keep the filter for your 5s.

I remember that vitawonder.

You can cross that frank off.

Perish we catch a ground ball.

He was at one of them pyramid scheme pep rallies

up in tarrytown.

No forced entry, no sign of struggle.

It argues against him contracting the hit.

If that was a contract, I want to hire the hitter.

So probably we look at the husband.

Probably we should talk to that cousin first,

see if her and Luciano were carrying on.

I know you�ll hate to make that midget right.

You know them -- them vitawonder vitamins?

No.

Fancy used to sell them.

Are they good?

Medavoy thought he poisoned himself with them,

but that turned out to be clams.

No, but I got into some back-and-forth with fancy

over him refusing to sell them to me.

Why did he refuse to sell them to you?

He said he didn�t want to put me in a position.

That is a side of him you haven�t seen yet.

Andy, who�s Suzanne and Daphne?

I know who they are.

Just keep the filter for the 5s.

Things went bad?

What a nightmare.

This girl comes in to report her sister missing.

We put an alarm out on the car.

We�re dropping the girl home.

We hear a call.

The car�s been found over the 59th street bridge.

Open the trunk, this girl�s sister�s in there dead --

shot and sexually assaulted.

This is her twin.

Crime scene give you anything?

They got one print off the outside of the trunk.

Comes back to a Marcus Potter.

One collar for stealing a car, three for crack.

The print is not going to get you to bat.

A zillion ways a lawyer could explain it.

Let�s hope Marcus isn�t a lawyer.

Marcus Potter? What�s it about?

About wasting the next couple of hours.

When was the last time you were at the bishop car wash?

I never worked at a car wash in my life.

Were you there recently in your car?

My car is presently, repossessed.

Man.

We got a girl picked you out of a mug book

for groping her in the bishop car wash.

That�s -- that�s totally, like, mistaken identity.

I never grabbed no one�s ass.

No ass anywhere three days ago?

Where was I three days ago?

Three days ago, I was in the hospital.

You got the paperwork?

Yeah.

Paperwork would shut the boss up.

You want to do US a solid?

Come back with US, bring the paperwork,

this thing is over.

I was going to watch one of my shows right now.

Pretty please, Marcus? We�ll bring you right back.

We�ll make the boss bring him back.

I-I guess I could do you a solid.

Yeah. Bank a little love.

Ha ha. I hear you.

Don�t forget that paperwork.

Yeah, yeah.

You know, it don�t look

like mary�s son did it, Anna.

No?

Frankie had a pretty good alibi.

Well, then, I am at a loss.

Well, I think you know who we�ve got to look at now.

Who?

As much reason as frank would have had,

Luciano would have had

if he was in love with somebody else.

We�re not sitting here in judgment, Anna.

We�re just trying to figure out

why someone might have done something.

I can�t help you.

Was Luciano in love with you?

I don�t know what he was.

The neighbors say Luciano didn�t seem as happy around Mary

as he did around you.

Did they tell you anyone seemed happy around Mary?

Yeah. Nobody liked her.

Did they tell you she had Luciano arrested

for using her tools on somebody else�s patio?

We heard that story.

Was he in love with you? Did he ever say anything

about wanting Mary out of the picture?

I�m not talking about it.

We could take that as you being part of it.

Then take it like that.

I�m not ratting out Luciano.

Was it frank?

No.

No.

Are you sure?

Hey, Luciano,

you don�t have to ask US if we�re sure.

We get our facts right, and then we proceed.

Yeah.

Yeah, frank was upstate, Luciano,

with 200 or 300 other people to corroborate his whereabouts.

With his vitamins?

Yeah, the vitamin franchise distributorship.

Yes. Not frank. No, no.

So now we�re asking ourselves, Luciano,

if not frank, who?

Who killed Mary?

I don�t know.

If Mary didn�t tear up her new will

making frank the beneficiary,

who else would benefit from the new will being torn up?

Who was going to get mary�s money, in other words?

Me.

You.

Yes, yes, me.

So you killed Mary.

Well, I get the money, must be me?

Pfft.

Please.

I need to crap.

Grazie. Mille grazie.

You know, when I got to crap,

my brain goes away.

All right.

You want to know what I think?

I think this guy�s about as Italian

as chef boyardee,

and i�m about to do something about it.

Hey, John, there�s a girl in the catching area.

Under no circumstances permit her to leave

until i�ve debriefed her.

Sure.

The next words that you hear cross his lips

are not going to be with an Italian accent,

and you can take that to the bank.

Excuse me, Andy, would you?

Yeah, go ahead.

This detective can help you.

Detective, this is Theresa mangano,

who�s a maid at the baca residence.

Miss mangano.

Yes, sir.

When Mary was murdered,

Luciano was with me.

Never mind. Sit down.

That�s Luciano. Are you beating him?

No, no, no.

Medavoy, bring this guy out when he�s done.

Yeah. Sure, Andy. Anything for you.

Hello.

How are you?

Andy, this is Theresa,

who�s a maid at the baca residence

that says Luciano was with her.

Hello.

I was with Luciano.

Luciano says he was alone.

No. With me, protecting my reputation.

Saying he was alone

was protecting your reputation.

Anyway, Theresa,

do you know anything about mary�s death?

No. Nothing about Mary.

All right. Write down your address and phone number.

I got to go talk to my priest.

All right. Appreciate you coming in.

If we need anything else, we�ll be in touch.

What, take it to Anna Luciano was playing around?

This is a quagmire.

Care to be more specific

where you�d like this gentleman taken?

Yeah. Take that gentleman into the coffee room.

Ba-boom.

He sounded pretty Italian in there.

I�m still not convinced.

Here�s your paperwork, Marcus.

You show your boss I was in the hospital

behind these hemorrhoids?

Yeah. You�re clear for three days ago.

Truth is though, Marcus,

this girl was groped last night.

Last night.

Last night in the bishop car wash,

somebody groped this girl that she says was you.

Well, I still never worked there,

and my car was still repossessed,

so I wasn�t even groping no one.

Write that.

And account for your time.

In other words,

you guys shot me through the grease

to get me in here.

Maybe a little.

All right.

As long as we straight with each other.

Mind if we bring a couple of other detectives

to go over your statement with US?

Hell, no.

The truth is my protector.

I haven�t wrote that much since high school.

Is that right?

I-I don�t even know if I wrote that much

when I was in high school, you know what i�m saying?

Yeah?

Well, that covers you

and the bishop car wash groper.

Hey. Who�s driving me home?

Now tell US about this girl.

Whoa. Mnh-mnh.

No. I don�t know that girl.

Your fingerprint�s on her car, Marcus.

Th-this is Manhattan island in New York City.

How many other damn fingerprints was on it?

Just yours.

While you were holding the trunk

while you were wiping that part clean,

that�s where you left your print.

Maybe that�s the spot where whoever did it missed,

and my print is an innocent bystander

from whenever I might have touched the trunk

six months ago or any other damn time.

No, that�s not going to work, Marcus.

Only print left

at the scene of a vicious murder.

I�ll tell you the other thing you got to worry about

is if your DNA matches the DNA sample

we take from the semen on that girl�s body.

Which would make it

a vicious premeditated murder.

The rape does make it premeditated, yeah.

Which buys you the needle, Marcus.

Wasn�t me.

It was not you?

It was not me.

Look, I want to tell you something,

and I ain�t ashamed to tell you,

you know, because i�m closing with it.

Come on, then.

I got a little problem with the pipe.

You do?

Yes, I do.

And how does that figure in?

Well, how the pipe figures in?

All right.

The premeditation.

First off,

you know, when i�m behind the crack,

you know, it�s like i�m out of my mind.

Saying you were crazy when you did this.

No, i�m not saying that I did it at all.

I am absolutely not saying that I did it.

You�re saying you got a problem behind the crack.

That�s all i�m trying to say so far.

We know you did it.

Hey... The premeditation.

This is how you rule that out,

and the crack fits in.

The sex come after that girl died.

And i�m not saying that I committed the sex

or the murder.

I just happen to know that for a fact.

How do you know it?

I mean, you know,

you ever heard of an eyewitness?

So you�re saying

you saw someone else murder this girl,

then have sex on her after she was dead?

And in my cracked-out insanity,

I never lifted a hand against him.

But you did loan him your semen

to leave on the body.

All right.

Let me think.

Sure.

We got all the time you need.

He says he killed his wife, this Luciano,

but how he says it,

you know he doesn�t mean it.

Anna, the cousin that he is absolutely putting it to,

she won�t take a position,

did Luciano do it or not,

but how she won�t take it,

she definitely expects we collar him anyway.

In comes Theresa the maid --

alibis Luciano out.

While the D.O.A. is getting murdered,

Luciano is banging her.

Where are we?

Where we are...

If the maid is telling the truth,

it�s got to be the cousin killed the wife.

If Luciano was with Theresa the maid,

and the murder come from inside the family,

then it�s got to be the homely cousin Anna.

�cause frank the son, off your own interview,

we established he was up in tarrytown.

Yeah, at that vitamin convention,

which who would know better about than you?

Why would the cousin do it?

Why would the cousin do it?

You think that we�re going to find that out in here?

And what did he say?

He went for it -- Luciano.

He said he killed Mary.

God!

Well, believe me,

if this isn�t temporary insanity,

they should throw out the law.

What she put that poor man through.

But then Theresa, who works at the house,

says 10:15, 10:30,

when the neighbors hear the screaming,

Luciano was with her.

What does Luciano say?

Says he killed Mary, like we just told you.

This girl wants to be with Luciano,

why she made up that story.

Did you do it, Anna?

Did I do it?

Did I do it?

Yeah. Suppose it was you in love with him

and wanting Mary out of the way.

Did I do it?

That would make theresa�s story fit.

Luciano said he did it.

Well, maybe he�s trying to cover up for you.

N-No. This girl wants Luciano.

That�s why she made up the story.

Sounds like everyone wants Luciano.

How about this, Anna?

Suppose you did it.

He got you to do it without you knowing,

and even with him confessing,

he put so many holes in his story

that we don�t believe him?

Suppose it�s Theresa he wants to be throwing humps into

and he made you a patsy.

Anna: No!

No?

Anna.

Anna?

Anna.

We want you to think things over now.

We want to know

if he agitated you into doing this,

because that temporary insanity law

that you talked about --

well, that�s still on the books,

and it�s available to you as well,

and otherwise...

This looks premeditated.

I need more tea.

Now?

No. Leave me alone for a little while.

Okay.

Just let US know when you need the tea.

What I just said to this Anna --

yeah, Luciano moved her to whack Mary.

I think that�s what I believe.

Meaning this one�s going to skate.

Unless we convince him he�s going for conspiracy.

Can we get him there?

Follow my lead.

Ho. The big noisy man?

Where are you from there, Luciano?

Red hook? Bushwick?

Napoli.

What, I don�t tell you?

Napoli?

You believe this guy?

All he needs is an accordion

and one of them squeaky little monkeys.

Anyways, Luciano,

despite you saying that it was you who killed Mary,

we�ve come to believe it was Anna.

Anna? No.

Anna. Yes.

It was me who get the money.

Anna. Yes. With you getting the money.

No. No.

Yes, but that don�t quite qualify you

for criminal mastermind, Luciano,

because here in the u. S. Of a.,

we got what�s called conspiracy laws.

Please. Con-- consh--

conspir-- no, -- conspir-- conspir--

a conspiracy, Luciano,

is even though anna�s doing the bodywork on Mary,

you egging her along.

I, I egg Anna?

Yeah, yeah. You egg her.

You get her to do it.

No, no, no.

I tell Anna, "don�t do it,"

and then I do it.

Get off you doing it!

You didn�t do it! You were with Theresa!

I tell Anna, "don�t do it,"

and I don�t believe that she does.

Meaning that you were with Theresa.

Ha. No! I don�t kiss and talk.

But you do read up on the conspiracy statutes,

Luciano?

Exactly what to say

that gets you out of legal responsibility.

Che statute?

Che statute?

Statute de libertad?

God bless america.

Follow my lead.

Tea, Anna.

We brought the tea.

We decided it was time.

So, does he still say he did it?

Luciano pretty much has come off of that now.

Does he say I did it?

He don�t say one way or another.

Says he told you not to do it.

Did he egg you on, Anna?

All he says, "i�m-a gonna do it.

"I�m-a gonna do it.

"She treat me like dirt and call me a dumb dago,

and i�m-a gonna brain her with one of my tools."

And then... "I can�t do it.

"I cannot do it.

"I cannot bring-a myself

"to take-a the hammer to her after 10:00

when she sleeps a-sound like a baby every night."

But he asked you to do it.

"Anna... "Don�t-a do it.

"Don�t-a do it.

"I don�t-a care, even if you tore up the will

"and I get all of the money,

"and I love you so much,

"and I want to take you with me to napoli

"if she was-a dead, and I wasn�t her husband.

Don�t-a do nothing to Mary."

I�m going to interrupt you, Anna,

and for the sake of justice,

and your own peace of mind,

I want to encourage you to remember different.

And different don�t mean lie, Anna.

He may have been, winking at you

or, indicating in some other way

that he really did want you to murder her

so the both of you would have a new life,

and he would be guilty of conspiracy,

and you don�t have to do the time by yourself.

No!

No.

Anna, you know, just between US in the room,

what about the concept of lying --

knowing that killing Mary

really was what Luciano wanted you to do?

A little white lie that would get at the truth

isn�t technically -- I will do the time,

and when I get out,

this little fling with Theresa is going to be over.

What do I do next?

Write?

I ask you something,

you going to tell me the truth?

What?

I�m on record with the pipe problem.

Is that like extenuating circumstances?

You know, temporary insanity or some other damn thing?

I�m not saying no.

�cause i�m on record that the sex

was not premeditated.

It was definitely not rape

�cause she was already dead.

I�d be prepared to say

the murder was accidental.

Say we put all that on one plate.

Would you be prepared to go from eyewitness

to saying it was you?

I�m not saying no.

All right.

But so far, am I holding my own?

I wasn�t looking. I was giving you privacy.

All right.

You ever get the feeling you were watching yourself?

Here�s you doing something,

and here�s you, too,

watching yourself doing it.

So claiming you were an eyewitness,

that wasn�t you denying you committed the crime.

Not ruling myself out as a suspect, correct.

Are you going for the homicide now, Marcus?

You guys ever see that Julia Roberts movie

where she�s that maid way back in old-time england,

and that guy in the house got a split personality?

Comes out at night,

an irresponsible monster.

You saw that movie?

Hey, I am a Julia Roberts freak.

Anyways, with whatever head problems

the doctors and the judge can worry about,

and whatever the actual sequence was,

you admit it was you involved with this girl.

I�m going for irresponsible monster comes out at night

with no connection to the actual Marcus Potter

that watches him like a helpless...

Eyewitness.

Okay, Marcus, write it like that.

Let me ask you guys something else.

And 18 months ago or 12 months ago

I would tell you it would be a waste

of the taxpayers� money.

You think I could get a diversion program?

Well, Luciano, Anna has confessed.

Anna?

Grab your chest all you want.

Him and me both saw "sanford and son."

Who�s sanfordson?

You can go now, Luciano, is what we�re saying.

But Anna got to stay.

Yeah, Anna got to stay, just like you set it up.

No.

Luciano, leave it alone.

Say no again, �cause I want to see you do

your enzio pinza impersonation without your teeth.

I, I don�t get permission to see Anna?

Do you got the balls to risk her turning on you

this late in the game?

Maybe another time.

Enzio pinza.

May I help you?

I can�t go to the morgue.

I got a message from the medical examiner to go,

but I can�t.

I believe you were talking

with detectives Russell and kirkendall before.

The medical examiner wants me

to identify my twin sister, but I can�t do it.

I know that under certain circumstances,

they do allow other than next of kin.

Can they please allow that?

I�ll absolutely relay your request.

And release her

to the Jonas brothers funeral parlor.

I�ll relay all that to the detectives.

Have they arrested anyone?

For what it�s worth, I think they have.

I�m so sorry for your loss.

Before you�re ready to do something with that break,

it�s no break at all.

I figured now you�d be ready to take advantage of it.

Might as well get your front teeth punched out

than get your break before you�re ready.

What�s the matter?

That�s my break.

That�s her out at the desk. Who?

The girl I killed. She�s alive.

Marcus, the dead girl has a twin.

Probably that�s her.

He wants me to earn my first miracle.

I hate that cagey dago getting away with it.

Any point to my holding off signing your 5s?

No.

You don�t figure 12 hours in a cell

may persuade the cousin this Luciano

who put her up to the murder should get locked up, too?

No.

Actually, what harm could it do, Andy,

boss holds off signing?

Fine, don�t sign.

All right.

I�ll hold off. Good night.

Night, boss.

See how he avoided that vitamin subject?

Like the plague.

Anthony, right?

Correct. You guys want to buy chocolates.

No, we don�t.

Sure, you do -- $500 worth,

�cause you�re not dealing with no rat,

and that�s how i�m going to transact.

It was Anna, with Luciano egging her on?

Sake of discussion.

You got this on Luciano, right?

What do you got, big mouth?

I got plain, pecan, and white.

Sold, depending.

Poisoned his first wife in Naples five years ago --

slow-acting arsenic, every day in her pastaccini.

Which you know how?

He told Theresa the maid,

making himself credible that Mary was going to die.

And Theresa the maid told you?

She�s in a torment of conscience

that the priest didn�t give her no relief from.

I am her true confessor.

Hey, let them dig the body up in Naples,

and then you�ll see i�m telling the truth.

Locking a guy up is locking a guy up, Andy,

even in an alien jurisdiction.

Plus he�s taking Theresa back to Naples, the moron,

extraditing himself back to the country of his crime.

How the hell old are you?

I�m sick of people asking me that today.

27 years of age, as god made me.

You got no almonds?

My boy likes chocolate almonds.

Chocolate almonds I can get.

Chocolate marshmallows, plus...

Original mets memorabilia.

You like Marv thornberry?

Understand me on this, Baldwin.

Fond as I am of you,

good as we get along,

the slightest whiff of practical joking,

and our partnership is history.

I hear you, Greg.

The practical joke is the bane of civilized man.

As far as Andy slamming his hand on the stall door,

I guess no way you could say he was working on the case.

With a practical joke component folded in.

And would you like me to relate to you

incidents of pure practical joking

on andy�s part that could occupy our entire jog?

How much weight have you lost?

3 3/4 pounds.

Why?

It�s showing.

It�s paying off.

You know what?

Do me a favor.

Let�s not discuss practical joking

or its ramifications the entire run.
