Morning.

Yeah. Morning.

My office.

Ought to pick up the phone, call the borough,

and have one of you shipped out of here right now.

I don't ever want to see a display like that

in my squad again.

You won't. No. Absolutely not.

This is why department policy precludes relationships

between cops working the same precinct.

There's no relationship.

That murder-suicide you caught,

brought denby in here -- m.E. Ruled on that yet?

Yvonne and paolo ruiz.

He's waiting on US before he makes a determination.

You work that with sipowicz,

and if you can behave yourself,

you can work for now with Jones and medavoy.

Any more screwups,

you can be thinking of a good place to transfer.

That's it.

Boss wants me working with Greg and Baldwin for now.

Why is that?

He wants you working the citiwide courier thing

with Diane.

Take a deep breath, Danny.

Yeah.

You want to fill me in on this?

You're talking about the case?

Yeah, the case.

This Yvonne ruiz worked dispatch at citiwide courier.

She and her husband --

they're an apparent murder-suicide.

Denby came by last night to get out in front of how

he'd been banging Yvonne,

but didn't know she was married.

That, plus torturing Danny and you.

That's an added bonus.

Yvonne's computer had denby's e-mail address on it.

We sent it out to be checked out at taro.

Just got a call in -- a stabbing in a subway.

7th and Lafayette -- you and medavoy.

Take Sorenson with you.

Baldwin: Bottom-feeders.

Yeah, better watch your bottom.

They just pronounced him doa.

Giovanni Romano.

Started on the train, right, Miguel?

Six Irish-looking guys sit like statues -- nothing.

The Italian guy stands up, and look what he gets.

It's like they say, all balls, no brain.

You were on the train?

Yeah, other side of the car.

Then step over there with those officers.

Most of them say they didn't see nothing.

This one kid's got the whole story.

What's your name?

Brendan Walker.

What happened, Brendan?

This black guy across from me on the train --

I'm sitting there, minding my own business.

He gets up, asks me, what the hell am I looking at?

Do I got a problem? So I'm just like, "no."

You know? All cool like that.

Gets right up in my face, do I have a problem?

He's picking a fight with you.

Right. So he tries to take my walkman.

This guy sitting next to me --

that's the guy lying over there?

Yeah, I guess. He's dead?

This guy shoves him, says what's his problem?

What did the black guy do then?

Sits down, gets real quiet,

train comes in to astor place,

everyone gets off, black guy pulls a razor,

just starts slashing this guy in the face.

Chased him outside.

What did the Italian guy do?

He went down.

Then I guess he remembered he had a knife.

007. We recovered that.

He never got to use it.

Black guy just started slashing the back of his head.

Black guy took off?

Can you describe him?

Kind of short, probably late 20s,

bleached blond hair -- kind of looked like some clone

of that freaky basketball dude.

Dennis rodman?

Yeah, yeah, like Dennis rodman.

Okay, Brendan, we're going to have you come back

to our station house, look at some pictures.

All right.

Excuse me. Miss?

Me?

Were you on that train just now?

Maybe you don't want to talk here.

What's your name?

Louise.

Okay, Louise, um,

how about you meet US around the corner?

We'll go someplace we can talk.

No one's going to see.

Hey, guys, we got another subway slashing -- union square.

Male black described fleeing the scene --

early 20s, 5'6".

I'll go. I'll ride over with him.

Hey. Detective gilmore from taro.

Here to see detective Russell.

Detective Russell, um, detective gilmore.

I'm Diane Russell.

Andy sipowicz.

Brett gilmore -- but, call me "crow."

You know, like Brandon Lee? Wasn't that the coolest flick?

You're a detective?

Sure. Yeah.

A bunch of US were in misd,

got shields behind the y2k thing.

I thought you guys took a collar off that scam.

How much did department spend in overtime on that?

$2 million, but the clocks hit midnight,

no disaster. 100% compliance.

Some of them other countries --

they didn't spend a nickel on that y2k --

how many problems did they have?

I'm guessing you found something on that computer?

I did. There's a secret file.

Secret file.

Yeah. It seems like this Yvonne lady,

she's been running some sort of covert distribution

out of citiwide.

Any clue what kind of distribution?

No, we haven't been able to figure that out yet.

You find anything in there on Harry denby?

Her e-mail's been deleted.

One of them is really sick,

like, um, perverse.

Got printouts of everything in the file.

Plus, anything's been deleted off the disk.

Coffee room open?

Uniform's bringing in another witness.

Have them take the guy up to anti-crime.

Names and dates -- could be names of employees.

Leroy Jackson, Roberto Hernandez...

Yeah. It's cool?

Thanks. Take a ride.

We'll see if any of these mutts work for citiwide.

Thanks for all your help, crow.

I wasn't on the train.

But you saw something.

The way you were hanging around

definitely looked like you wanted US to know.

Just -- I saw him.

You saw the guy.

On the street. It was awful.

He was just cutting that poor man's head.

Every time he'd swing his arm, it'd open up red.

Can you describe him?

He was kind of short.

He's real skinny. Hair's dyed blond.

He had on a light blue shirt and jeans

and ratty old sneakers.

We catch this guy,

you think you could I. D. Him?

I really don't know.

Let's not worry about that just now.

There's a sketch artist in the house.

You think you could work with him?

We could compare what you come up with

against a description from another witness,

see if we've got a match.

I'll try.

Okay. Good, Louise.

Meantime, we'll take you up to anti-crime,

have them show you some pictures.

See if you recognize anyone.

Hey. Diane.

Excuse me.

Good to see you.

I was just at your squad yesterday.

I heard.

So I assume your visit here

is in regards to poor Yvonne ruiz and her husband.

Yeah, we're asking questions.

Where's our Danny-boy?

He's out working something else.

So then this is your case?

I feel terrible -- what went down with Yvonne.

Jealousy is a powerful thing.

I don't think you're going to find anything out here,

aside from what you already know.

You know the job, denby.

Of course. No, please, do tell detective Sorenson

that if I was out of line last night,

I hope he'll accept my apology.

As usual, I can't help myself where you're concerned.

That would be between you and detective Sorenson.

Well, like I said, jealousy's a powerful thing.

There's nothing to be jealous about.

Danny and me -- we, we weren't good together.

So, then, the field remains open.

If you want to put it like that.

I-I don't want to make any overtures

until I can put together my best offer.

What does that mean?

Nah. Nothing.

Maybe there's just too much water

under the bridge for US.

This doesn't sound like you, denby.

Considering Yvonne and all,

you coming off a relationship, too --

maybe we should just give it a little time.

Yeah, you know, um, I got to go.

We'll talk.-

I just come from bellevue. The other slasher victim --

he's likely to go out of the picture.

He do any talking?

He's comatose.

No one else got a strong look at the perp.

Yeah, well, we got a sketch out there.

Both Brendan and Louise think it's a good likeness.

Anyone's looking for US, we'll be in interview 3.

John: Okay.

15th. Detective squad.

Detective Jones? Line one.

Detective Jones.

Yeah? Okay.

Right. What about his clothes?

All right. Thanks.

Anti-crime just picked up a kid sleeping

on a park bench.

Looks like a good fit with our sketch.

They see any blood on his clothes?

Looks clean as a whistle. They're bringing him in now.

Leroy, that was your name we took off Yvonne's hard disk.

Andy: You're going to want to be out in front

of this one, Leroy.

This is going to be a freight train.

You're saying Yvonne got killed behind this?

It's you who's answering questions, Leroy.

We're just laying it out.

Man, I don't know my dick from a hole in my head.

I'm just a cog in the wheel of the big machine.

All the more reason you come clean

with what you do know now. That's right, Leroy,

you decide -- do you want to help,

or do you want to wind up in jail?

You're saying maybe I could avoid that?

You don't help, you wind up there for sure.

All right.

US drivers, those on the team,

we'd make these deliveries

that didn't have any shipping numbers

so's they couldn't get tagged.

Drug deliveries.

I don't know.

Yes. Probably.

So what's the point

if no one knew they were drugs, except you?

Well, d. E. A. Worked with our company security,

looked for packages with drugs.

They tagged certain loads,

and those get sniffed by drug dogs.

Where does Yvonne ruiz fit in this?

Yvonne's in dispatch.

Shows on her computer some code

when a driver's shipment's been tagged.

One with no tracking number -- we just pull that sucker out.

So Yvonne was running things.

Running things, I don't know.

It was Yvonne who gave me word

a shipment was off the books.

It was Yvonne gave me my money.

Can't believe she's dead.

I guess now you're out of business.

Thing is, yesterday,

this cat comes up off the cuff --

some white guy,

used to work with Yvonne up in dispatch --

he come up to me saying things are status quo.

You know his name?

Um...darby? Something like that.

Harry denby?

You got it.

See, this cat, he come up to me

like he knows he's the man.

He say anything about a delivery date?

Just status quo -- mostly don't hear nothing

on delivery days till the day of, anyways.

Okay, Leroy, how about you write down

the other members of that team you were talking about?

I got to?

These subway stabbings, Arthur --

we got to find out who did this.

We got the mayor bitching how people want to know

when they go into a subway they're going to be safe.

Anti-crime's bringing a guy in now, captain.

Fits the sketch off a description

by two witnesses we got upstairs.

Found him asleep on a bench.

Anti-crime did a good job.

Miss Haywood, sounds like we might have a suspect

on the subway stabbings.

Yeah? My boss sent me down here to sit on this.

Sure.

Detective Jones? Yeah, what's up?

Here's your guy. Had no I. D. On him.

My name's sid.

Hey, Josh, how about you show sid to the pokey?

Is that your possible perp?

Yeah. Looks like the sketch.

Let me know how it goes.

Yeah, sure, captain.

Where were you this morning, Sidney?

Those are some mighty clean clothes you got on there.

You come straight from the laundromat?

I hope you kept your shorts on

when the rest were running through the spin cycle.

You know a Giovanni Romano?

You know a Rodrigo Fuentes?

Rodrigo, rigo...

Baldwin: Jogging your memory, sid --

Giovanni and Rodrigo are two folks

you met on the subway today.

I didn't ride no subway...

How about a white kid with long hair, about 19,

wears a walkman?

Well, that's a real good likeness.

Real good...

Well, on one of your better days.

Maybe it don't fully describe that twinkle in your eye.

We got a least two witnesses that saw you slash

this Giovanni guy to death this morning outside the subway.

Both got the same story, sid --

black guy on the train, hair like Dennis rodman,

picks a fight with some white people.

They all get off, the black guy pulls a razor,

and he starts slashing the one guy in the face.

Now, this guy with the razor,

he seemed crazy, so that couldn't be you.

Dennis rodman. Dennis is cool, man.

Yeah, you're not going to be giggling

when they strap you down and stick in a needle.

When I was in narcotics, I had a guy on angel dust.

He was, like, halfway to Mars.

I couldn't make no connection.

What worked was invading his personal space.

You mean, like, get right in his face?

Look him right in the eye.

Two strikes again, Sidney.

You were on that train, you argued with those people,

and you slashed that man.

Like my partner said, you're looking at a needle.

Back off, brother, I ain't your girlfriend!

I know you didn't slash that guy for no reason, Sidney.

That Italian guy call you names?

I can understand that.

You know, we got his knife.

Did he try and cut you?

Or maybe you were defending yourself.

I was defending myself.

There you go. That's how it went down.

You should get that on the record.

What if I cop to it like you said?

What could I be looking at?

You tell US what happened, we'll talk to the d. A.

I cut him.

He was calling me names.

He's a damn filthy grease ball,

and he pulled a knife, and so I cut him.

That's good, Sidney. That's good.

Now, how about you write that down,

we could take it to the d. A. And get your story out in front?

I can write, but I ain't writing.

We can't help you, you won't write it down.

That's your problem...

How about we write it up like you told US,

and you sign it?

I'd have to see it first.

Better for you it's in your own writing.

How about we write it up?

Yeah. Why don't you guys write me a letter?

He signs, he puts himself on the scene.

Yeah, but them juries love it when it's in their own writing.

I'll go talk to Valerie.

Yeah, okay, I'll go write a statement up.

You seen Haywood?

I think she's on the first floor.

Detective Sorenson,

a detective olivo waiting to see you.

Hey, Danny.

Ray, what's happening?

Hey, working d. E. A. -- Joint task force.

You're in the big-time? You get to work with the feds.

Yeah, it's the highlight.

You got someplace we can talk?

Yeah. Sure.

I heard j. B.'S dead.

Yeah. He o. D.'D.

Junkies. It's tough, you know, when you get close to a snitch.

So, you probably didn't come down here

just to catch up.

The thing is, you guys are getting in the middle

of something we've been working on eight months.

What's that?

Colombian dealers.

D.e.a.'s got an agent who infiltrated the organization.

How are we in the middle?

Some stuff comes in,

goes out through citiwide courier.

-

yeah. Big smack shipment just came in to jfk,

sitting in a warehouse.

Joint task force is planning a controlled delivery

to this, Yvonne ruiz.

Yvonne, who just turned up doa.

Plus, there's a new player -- come up on a phone tap --

ex-detective named Harry denby.

That's the other reason I come talk to you --

off the record.

You dug up

denby's personnel file?

We also put an occasional tail on him.

Took him here last night.

Being he's an ex-cop, you don't want to keep

too close a tail, or he'll make it.

We don't see denby as a major player here.

We're trying to figure out how he does fit in.

If Harry denby's got to do with this,

you can bet he's a major player.

The thing is, I'm not working that case.

It's best if I hook you up with my partner.

Whoa, I'm here freelance, Danny.

I'm working another homicide. Guy's in mid-flip.

You say I can trust your partner,

I'm going to take that to the bank.

Absolutely. I'll get him.

Andy, you need to come talk to this guy.

Guy that was sitting at your desk?

Yeah, he's a joint task force detective.

I worked with him -- narcotics.

Came in to talk to me off the record

of how we're getting in the way of an undercover operation.

Maybe off the citiwide thing?

This about my case?

The guy would prefer dealing with me.

I told him I could pass him on to my partner.

Danny, no one's talking to this guy without me.

You can take your chances if he talks to you or not.

We'll take our chances.

Ray, this is my partner Andy sipowicz.

This is Diane Russell. It's her case.

Ray olivo.

I wasn't planning on a conference.

We can just go back to running our case.

No, I think we can work

to our mutual advantage on this.

I'm glad you see it like that.

Joint task force is planning a controlled delivery

any time now on a shipment of heroin

sitting in a warehouse in Brooklyn.

Controlled delivery.

Task force got a d. E. A. Agent's

infiltrated the Colombian operation.

Your murder-suicide Yvonne ruiz --

she was set up to distribute some of this smack.

Now we don't know who's coming.

That murder-suicide -- we're not 100% sold on that.

That got anything to do with Harry denby?

Our surveillance on the ruiz apartment

picked up denby coming in, going out that afternoon.

You saying we can have that?

It's still not enough to lock him up.

We'd ask you not to move on him till after delivery.

You'd collar him then,

could persuade him to testify against the dealers.

We figure it's denby who's taken over the distribution.

You got evidence on that, we'd like to see it.

Yeah, so we could set up with you on that warehouse?

I think I could sell that to my boss.

You in on this, Danny?

No, I got to work this other case.

If you don't need me no more,

I should be getting back.

No. Go ahead, Danny.

This guy's wackier than me.

How you doing, Sidney?

Okay. Good.

We wrote a statement for you.

What are you talking about?

We're talking about you signing the statement

that says what happened with that guy on the train.

The guy on the train you told US called you names

and pulled a knife on you so you cut him?

No way, brother. I didn't say nothing like that.

You didn't say how a guy pulled a knife on you

so you had to defend yourself?

You don't work with US, we can't help you.

Then it's your story against the story

of all those white people who say

you killed this guy for no reason.

Hey, hey, I ain't got nothing to say to you!

How about you take off your clothes?

Say what?

He said take off your clothes.

What the hell for?

What, you got something perverted in mind?

Because I ain't like that.

Just do what he tells you. Never mind what for.

I ain't getting naked!

You all ain't doing nothing to my butt!

You're not in a position to be telling US

what you going to do or you're not going to do.

Now take off your clothes.

Just get me a damn lawyer!

Yeah, we'll get you a lawyer, you gutless scumbag!

What the hell you want with my shoe?

What's this here, Sidney?

Something I stepped in.

That's going to be blood

that matches the guy you killed today.

We're going to bring two witnesses

that are going to say you killed that guy,

and then you can have your freakin' lawyer there

while you get arraigned on first-degree murder!

Tell US what went down and make a written statement.

I ain't writing nothing!

Go ahead! Do your stuff up my butt!

Do your pervert thing!

Get this guy some clothes 'cause we're going to send

his clothes and shoes to the lab.

You're under arrest, Sidney.

You're going to stand in a lineup.

My boss lieutenant Gomez.

Andy sipowicz from the 15th.

Diane Russell.

There's 60 kilos of Peruvian heroin

they're sitting on in there.

Warehouse has double-steel doors.

Agent Manuel there left it open once

so we could get the place up.

One with short hair, that's Manuel.

Other guy, drug dealer called Jose.

He thinks Manuel's legit.

As far as we know, anyway.

Around the corner in the cat Van

we got e. S. U. With flack vests and rifles ready to go

as soon as the transfer goes down.

Manuel's left the place open again,

or else we'd have a hell of a time getting in there.

These detectives got an angle

on who could be making that pickup.

We figure it's an ex-detective named Harry denby,

who whacked that Yvonne ruiz you were expecting.

So ray was telling me.

Looks like it's denby taking over the distribution

through citiwide courier.

So we'd expect it to be him or someone he sent

picking up the smack.

These two have a personal history with denby.

You worked together?

No, not exactly.

Our suspect signed that confession?

Not exactly.

What does that mean, "not exactly"?

Here's our witness.

This is Brendan.

I'm lieutenant fancy. This is a. D. A. Haywood.

Hi, Brendan. Yeah, hey.

On the other side of the shade there's a 2-way mirror.

They can't see or hear US. I'm going to lift the shade.

Tell US the number if you recognize anyone.

Yeah. I recognize someone, I say a number.

Okay.

Do you see anyone you recognize?

Um, I-I don't know.

I have been beaten by perverts.

I have not agreed to be here.

Ignore that. Just...Take your time.

I'm innocent! I didn't kill nobody.

I'm not sure.

I didn't get that good a look at him.

The guy was right in your face.

He tried to Rob your walkman.

You didn't get a good look at him?

Brendan: Can they take off their hats?

Take another look.

Sidney: I've been framed! Police brutality!

Diallo!

It could be number one. I just don't know.

Okay.

Hold everyone.

Open your mouth one more time,

next lineup you're going to be unconscious. Got it?

Louise, this is,

lieutenant fancy and a. D. A. Haywood.

Hi, Louise.

Hi.

Louise, on the other side of this shade

there's a 2-way mirror.

They can't see or hear you. I'm going to lift the shade.

Tell US the number if you recognize anyone.

Okay.

Do you see anyone you recognize?

Number 4.

Where do you recognize number 4 from?

This morning on the street.

He's the guy who cut that man's face.

You're sure?

Yeah.

Okay. Thanks, Louise.

Let's go someplace and talk.

You want to explain exactly what the hell is going on?

I saw that man when he came in.

He didn't have a cut lip or swollen face.

So you can't tell me he resisted arrest.

This guy slashed Giovanni Romano to death for standing up to him.

You saw that girl pick him out. That's besides his confessing.

But he never signed the statement.

You heard him out there.

Any oral confession, he's recanted.

But why couldn't we just testify

to his original oral statement?

That, plus the lineup -- wouldn't that be enough?

You've dumped a big bag of crap in my lap, detectives.

This guy goes to arraignment,

the weakest legal aid lawyer, as long as he isn't blind

or couldn't see the bruised face, could get this kicked.

We got a brown stain on the perp's sneaker

we sent to the lab.

2 to 1 it's the blood of someone he cut.

Once you laid hands on this guy,

you can't prove he gave it up voluntarily

before he was beaten.

So that lineup was illegal. You had no cause to arrest him.

You had no probable cause for the search, so that's out,

and we can never use that blood stain.

This guy looks bad now,

but his swelling will go down overnight.

How about we keep him here, put him in the system tomorrow?

Detective, even if I wanted to protect you from yourself,

we've involved other parties. That Brendan, for one.

Any decent lawyer can unravel this.

No, I'm saying, on behalf of the d. A.'S office,

we don't want it.

Meaning what exactly?

Meaning I can't write it up.

So we kick a double murderer?

That's not my fault.

Develop some independent evidence,

come back to me, and I'll write it up.

You guys know better than this.

It was me who did it, boss.

If anyone takes a rip for this, it's me.

Greg and Baldwin had nothing to do with it.

Captain bass is going to hit the roof when he hears

we had to kick this guy off him getting tuned up.

Meantime, I'm going to head down to that warehouse

where Andy and Diane are set up on denby.

You're not going anywhere.

Deal with me later. I'm going down there.

Danny, go sit at your desk.

Your man give you any sense

when this pickup might be going down?

Shipment come through last night.

Usually within 36 hours.

What's the matter, detective, you're not enjoying this?

You should see some of the rat-infested places

we got to set up.

That's 'cause you got the glamour position.

Diane: Got something here.

Monitor:

Hey, Jose, what's up?

That's denby.

I guess you were right about him making a pickup.

Jose: Denby, I thought we were doing this tomorrow.

Tomorrow, right.

I just thought I'd stop by, check on some things.

Jose: Check on what things?

Aw, jeez.

It's a rip-off. Go, go!

Don't shoot. I'm a cop.

Can't get in. We need a saw.

Manuel: Whole place is up, man.

They got sound video. 60 cops outside.

Denby: Is that true? There's 60 cops watching?

The room ain't miked, they can't answer.

Anyone out there tries to come in,

I blow this cop's brains out.

Now my cell phone is 555-0147.

If this place is up, you call me.

Yeah.

This is lieutenant Gomez.

I'm with the d. E. A. Joint task force.

The man here says you got 60 cops out there.

Now, does that include Starsky and Hutch?

He is loaded.

Give it up, denby. You've got no way out of there.

I beg to differ. This cop's my ticket out.

This guy, he's going to shoot a cop

knowing he's a cop.

Testify against the Colombians, denby.

We can make a deal.

So you know who I am.

Well, I thought you were lieutenant Gomez,

but I guess you are monty hall.

I guess we got a little standoff here, monty.

Don't try anything dumb!

I can hear you trying to cut through the door out there.

Either you don't give a damn about what happens to your man,

or you must really be stupid.

Hold on.

D-a-c-o-2-yes-u. Stop trying to gain entry.

Gomez: What's it take to get you out of there, denby?

You planning on moving in?

Maybe some marathon --

David koresh, some waco kind of thing.

No, no. I haven't got any good food.

So what are we going to do here?

I suppose I-I could ask for a plane.

Is that what you want, a plane?

I want to speak to Diane Russell.

She's a detective at the 15th squad.

You want to talk with Diane Russell?

I'm assuming with all the information you have,

she's been in contact with you.

Forget it, denby. I'm in charge.

You deal with me.

You're in charge?

I'll see what I can do.

I want to speak to Diane Russell.

She comes in, I'll consider letting your agent go.

If anyone else tries to come in, I'll shoot him.

I'll talk to him.

You absolutely do not have to go in there.

If I don't go in there, that agent's going to die.

That's what you want to do, detective,

I got no problem with that.

I got my vest.

This is you risking her life for your guy.

Denby wants her, and it's her call.

You're crazy if you think you're sending her in there.

I'm the ranking officer,

and I'll do what I have to to get my man out.

It's okay, Andy. Gomez: Denby,

detective Russell's coming in now.

You got to open the door.

Diane, let me go.

God knows what he wants with you.

It's all right.

Diane: It's detective Russell. Unlock the door, denby.

Why am I not surprised you were already here?

Just close that latch on the door behind you.

You want to talk, we'll talk.

I'm not locking any door.

Officer, I'm detective Russell.

Are you okay?

I'm bleeding all over the place.

Just hang on.

Seriously, I really do appreciate you coming

'cause I'm in need of a friend.

Could probably cut yourself a decent deal, denby.

Task force needs you to testify

against the Colombians.

You don't know how close I came

to school's out.

You know, I must've committed

some grave sin in a past life,

'cause every time I come close to the brass ring,

it vanishes.

You think your behavior in this life's

going to make things better for you?

It was a beautiful plan.

With my help, Yvonne was widening the net at citiwide.

Today's delivery was supposed to be a test --

8 cities, 60 kilos of uncut heroin.

Street value at $5 million.

I must be missing something.

Smack came into the country on Monday.

We were set to pick it up on Wednesday.

My plan was to steal it on Tuesday,

sell the whole lot to a Chinese group.

What happened with Yvonne, denby?

Yvonne's husband confronted her with his suspicions,

and she chose to tell him she was just banging me

'cause we were working on a big score.

Like that would make it okay.

A classic feminine misunderstanding

of the male psyche.

Had I been more practical,

after Yvonne's oaf of a husband came to threaten me,

and I had to go and kill the both of them

to shut them up,

I might've picked to alter my plans, but I didn't,

and now things have taken a decisive turn.

Come on, denby, give me the gun.

Why?

Because you don't want to die.

We're all going to die, Diane.

That's a fact of life.

You don't want to die today.

I got to think about that one.

I know officer Manuel doesn't want to die today, do you?

No.

See? He doesn't want to die.

The thing is, I do think someone is going to die today.

Don't do it, denby. I'll shoot you.

Good.

'Cause you want to save him, you're going to have to.

You all right?

Yeah, fine.

You kicked Sidney Thompson?

I haven't got to it.

Do it now.

Actually, I was, I was kind of waiting to see

if anyone changed their mind.

No one's changing their mind. Go kick him.

Harry denby's dead.

How?

Diane shot him.

He was holding the d. E. A. Agent hostage,

asked to see Diane, she went in.

She went in alone?

Sounds that way.

And she's okay?

Yeah, she's fine. She saved that agent.

I should've been down there.

She and Andy are on their way back in.

Arthur, what I hear's we got a detective

who's a slam-dunk for the medal of honor.

We're talking about detective Russell.

We may actually have a detective

who gets a legit bump to second grade

and not just for driving the commissioner.

Yeah. That's great.

That's the good news. Let's talk about the bad news.

Captain, let me try to explain what happened.

Save it, Arthur. I already heard

from the d. A.'S office.

We still don't really know what happened in there,

but my detectives say they had to use force.

I admire your instincts to defend your detectives,

but you're going to want to get out of the way on this.

Off the test, you're number 6 on the captain's list.

Something like this, failure to properly supervise,

you get skipped over.

Look, we'll clear the case.

We'll find a way to put this back together.

The case has been pulled from you, Arthur.

It's been reassigned to the d. A.'S office.

Whose idea was that?

Hell of a world?

Guy on a train goes to aid someone

and gets himself hacked to death.

Now the scumbag that killed him gets a walk.

Who was it, Arthur? Was it all of them?

Sorenson says it was him.

Okay, then. Sorenson it is,

and you better hope to god this stays in the department,

and your miss hayward keeps her mouth shut,

'cause this story gets out to the press,

Sorenson's a collar,

and you probably get moved to transit.

Sorenson's suspended as of now.

Let's get him in here?

Danny.

Detective, you're suspended.

I need your shield and all your guns.

For how long?

We'll see if the chief wants to place you

on modified assignment.

Talk with your delegate. You'll get due process.

Internal affairs will be in touch.

I'll have to get my off-duty gun from my locker.

Double homicide kicked off you picking to play bully, boy.

You're lucky enough to keep out of jail on this.

You may want to be thinking about a new career.

I'm going to go get my other gun.

You both okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Are you okay?

I'm suspended.

I got to get them my off-duty gun.

That d. E. A. Agent -- he's going to be okay.

That's great work, Diane.

Ditto. Make sure you make out your statement

with the duty captain.

Denby wanted me to kill him.

I'm sure they'll make it a good shoot.

Get your guns down to ballistics tomorrow for testing,

and by the way, congratulations --

you're going to be up for a commendation.

We'll have someone take you to the e. R.,

get you checked for trauma.

I'm fine, boss.

No thanks

to that lieutenant Gomez on the task force.

You're going to need to make an appointment

with the department psychologist.

Sure.

What the hell is going on with Sorenson?

We had to kick that suspect in the subway slashings

on account of Sorenson

tuned him up to get a confession.

How exactly did he get caught tuning up the suspect?

He collared the guy, put him in a lineup,

a.d.a. Haywood saw the guy'd been beaten.

And it was a. D. A. Haywood who called the borough?

It wasn't like she had a whole lot of choice, Andy.

Sorenson put a beating on the guy.

He had a cut lip, swollen face.

The guy started shouting in the lineup. People heard.

Every one, a potential witness, asks what happened.

So this is on Sorenson.

Yeah.

You sure you're okay?

Yeah. Andy,

you're the first call I make if I'm not.

Truth is I, I think I'll sleep like a baby.

But you'll call if you need to talk?

Yeah.

Okay. I'm going in there.

I know.

You don't got to tell me I screwed up.

I've already lost a son,

I've almost lost my other one,

I've lost my wife, I've lost a partner --

I can't take any more, Danny.

If you want to self-destruct, if you want to flame out,

screw you.

You're on your own. You do it without me.

I understand.

You said you wanted to carry your own water,

for me to let you be -- well, you got it.

You're right, you're not my son.

You're a grown man.

I'm sorry, Andy.

I hope you make it, Danny,

but I can't have it be on me.
