Previously on "NYPD blue"...

Captain fraker,

your wife and kids know about detective Pearson?

You stay the hell away from my family.

Back off Rodriguez.

Then you and your friend can romp around all you like

while mom and the kids sit at home ignorant and proud of daddy.

I was a decent, honest cop, and you mowed me down.

Whether or not you knew you were dirty,

you got dealt a hand I wouldn�t wish on anyone.

But what you are now--

bitter, petty, vengeful-- that�s on you.

So you call me a rat if that�s what gets you to sleep at night,

but my conscience is clear.

Rita...

I really hope we can stay friends.

After two people break up,

the whole "let�s stay friends" thing is a little naive

and kind of insulting, to be honest.

I�m glad you made it out.

I am, too. Our schedules haven�t made it easy.

We should think about getting married...

If you want to.

Yeah.

I do.

Look at you.

Light milk.

Light sugar.

You�re scoring points left and right here.

Thank you.

You�re welcome.

So I spent the night.

Yep.

And from what I can tell, neither of US is freaking out.

Not at all.

You take honey in your coffee?

Nope.

No!

Yeah.

We can�t! Sure, we can.

We�re gonna be late.

Just a little bit.

-

John, you--

you can�t just walk in here and pour honey on me

then lick it off and get me...

All excited and then make love to me all over again.

Keep talking.

You can�t just do that, John.

Damn.

You can�t just...

Turn over.

Turn...over.

John, we can�t.

Yes...we can.

Morning.

Hey. D. O. A.�s the owner-- korean.

Robbery?

Money�s still in the register.

Witnesses?

Nothing yet.

Call you later.

Blood trail coming from behind the counter.

Close range.

We�re pulling the security video,

see if it caught anything.

VCR wasn�t plugged in.

Perfect.

Still got his wallet on him. Maybe this was a beef.

Yeah, or he wouldn�t open the till.

Morning, everybody. Morning.

Morning, Rita.

Save it, okay?

How much more of this bullshit am I gonna have to take?

You were expecting...

A little civility, maybe.

So not a lot of female interaction

growing up in that bubble.

It�s been a month.

Okay. So, back to the dead guy here?

Yeah, sorry.

Nothing on the canvass.

2-5 caught a grocer homicide last night, the same m. O.--

guy in a mask, no robbery.

Korean grocer?

Pakistani.

There�s no witnesses, but their security camera showed

the perp touching a freezer case on his way out.

Crime scene got a good lift.

It came back to a Terry parkhearst.

Took a collar for public intox two years ago.

He�s clean past that.

Got an address on parkhearst?

Fifth and d. John, I miss any calls?

No calls, detective.

Try to stay cool, Greg.

I-I�m fine.

He�s on the list for second grade.

Announcements out today?

I�ve been on the list five times before, so it�s no big deal.

That said, i�d prefer not to jinx it.

Snatch up this parkhearst?

I�ll meet you downstairs.

Detective mcdowell? Judge Eileen walden.

Um, can you tell her to hold on one sec?

This your friend the judge?

Yeah, everything else is on hold-- the food, cake.

I�m just waiting to see if she�s available, so...

You sure this is what you want?

You planned this awful fast, and it�s gonna be real small.

Doesn�t have to be.

I don�t want big.

I-I don�t want Vegas, but small, at home,

with friends-- yeah.

Then let�s do it.

Well, I don�t know if she�s available yet.

Answer the call and find out.

But this is what you want, right?

Look, if the wedding�s in a church or a shoe box,

it don�t matter to me.

I just want the marriage part.

Andy, you got a minute?

Yeah.

Eileen, hey.

How have you been?

What�s up?

Just got off with deputy commissioner Mueller--

no detectives working in the same squad.

I know the policy.

He was supposed to find a way around it.

Mueller took it as far as the commissioner.

Request denied.

Whatever you two decide transfer-wise, i�ll understand.

What if we decided to just go forward?

If I knew about it, i�d have to kick it upstairs.

But what you don�t know can�t hurt you, right?

Andy, you�re not gonna get a problem from me,

but if it gets out of this command, one of you has to go.

I�m sorry.

Thanks for trying.

You want me to help you break the door down?

I can hear you in there! Open up!

Sorry. I don�t move so fast.

We�re looking for Terry parkhearst.

He�s not here.

You mind if we check?

The Butler will take your coat.

Who are you?

I�m Mike parkhearst, terry�s brother.

Who are you?

Detectives Clark and sipowicz. Where�s Terry now?

Why?

We want to talk to him. When do you expect him back?

Not soon. What�d he do?

You know where he might have gone?

He takes long drives I don�t go on, so, no.

Now, what did he do or you get the hell out of here.

Somebody saw him near a crime scene.

We want to know if he got a look at the perp.

So you generally barge in on potential witnesses?

I don�t think I buy that.

Could-- could you hand me that towel?

Your brother been having financial trouble?

Terry wouldn�t do a robbery.

He�s quiet. He reads.

Not your guy.

Why you sweating, Mike? Something bothering you?

An onrushing urinary-tract infection,

one of the joys of my little deal here.

Thanks for your concern.

You need medication?

I got some.

You in the service?

Army. What unit?

101st airborne. Served in the Gulf.

That what put you in the chair?

Land mine.

This is fun, but I don�t know where Terry is,

and I don�t know when he�s gonna be back,

but I do know that you are looking for the wrong guy.

Can you account for him this morning?

He was with me from early last night till about 20 minutes ago.

Still, tell him to call US when he gets in.

Right.

D.o.a.�s son said they were being shook down

by some thug in their neighborhood.

Supposedly hooked up with some Asian gang-- Jimmy Kim.

We�ll go grab him up.

You got it?

Yeah! Second grade, baby!

Hot off the teletype!

Way to go, Greg.

Yeah, getting promoted Friday.

Congratulations!

Yeah, hey, at this rate, i�ll make first grade when i�m 90.

Don�t downplay it, medavoy. This is a big deal.

You should be really proud.

Thanks.

You know, actually, I was thinking last night,

regardless of whether I got the promotion,

and I started taking stock of my time on the job

and how much it�s meant to me, and i�ll tell you,

the words really started flowing.

So I wrote it down.

Um, if you don�t mind, i�d like to read it to you.

How long is this thing? Andy...

Go ahead, Greg.

"Men and women of valor are we,

"defending peace as best we can,

"and though it may not be plain for everyone to see,

"we�re the luckiest sons of bitches in the land.

For when evil rides in on his dark horse..."

That�s beautiful, detective.

It really is, Greg.

I-I�m gonna hang it by my desk,

and you can finish reading it when you want.

Anyways...

Rita, you got a sec?

Sure.

One minute.

Come on.

You�re acting like I left you

with four hungry children and a crop in the field.

How long you been saving up that line?

Am I missing out on something here?

Did we not date for a while, and it was fun,

and then it faded out, and we called it off?

I�m glad to hear it meant that much to you.

It did, but we�ve moved on, right?

That�s right.

Why am I constantly having to worry if Rita is in a mood?

My god, could you be any more condescending?

It�s true,

and then again today with these looks and comments.

I wouldn�t have my new boyfriend drop me off

in front of a crime scene when I knew you�d be there.

I had her drop me off a block away out of respect for you.

You�re so respectful.

Okay, you know, next time, i�ll have her drop me off

six blocks away from the crime scene,

and i�ll wear a trench coat and Groucho glasses.

Will that make you feel better?

You know, sometimes you can be a real asshole.

Jin yon Kim, 19 years old. Have a seat.

I go by "Jimmy," sir.

"Suspect in a series of home invasions,

suspect in extorting local businesses."

Ran with the wrong crowd for a little while.

Turned my life around. I go to suny now-- 4.0.

These charges look pretty recent to me,

unless you�re calling these cops and detectives liars.

I�ve changed my life, sir.

You know a jun ho shin, owns a bodega on 7th and "c"?

He got killed today.

I know the bodega, don�t know him.

We got it on good authority

that you were trying to shake him down for protection money.

No, not me.

Can you account for your day?

Mostly at school. Check with my teachers.

If something went bad with the owner of that store,

you need to level with US now.

I�m telling you, I didn�t do this.

Why do you victimize your own people, Jimmy?

�cause you know they won�t go to the police?

No.

Or is it �cause you�ve been treated bad by the round eye,

so you go after who you think is lower than you?

No.

Or because they embarrass you with their accents?

Are you afraid that somebody might confuse you with them?

Or do you just think it�s not a crime if it�s your own people?

I didn�t do it.

I�m a full-time student getting straight a�s.

Take your straight a�s and shove �em up your ass.

I�m just telling you who I am, sir.

And don�t call me "sir," you phony little prick!

I was with the wrong crowd--

if you deny it one more time, you�re gonna get hit.

Whatever the reason, Jimmy, you need to know something--

it rubs me the wrong way,

and now you are gonna force your own people

to start keeping guns behind the counter

just like the Dominicans had to end up doing,

and one day, you�re gonna get your brains blown out

or you�re gonna get I. D.�d

or you�re gonna leave a fingerprint somewhere,

and i-- look at me!

I am gonna be the guy

that drags you out of your house in cuffs.

Or maybe you end up with nothing.

Same thing you got now.

You won�t make it to 21, Jimmy. I promise you.

Your day--

every minute of it.

Come on in.

How are you, Tony?

Great. You?

I tried to alert you a long time ago

that this command was out of control,

and now it�s clear that my concerns have been realized.

You got a serious problem on your hands.

Namely?

I�ve had my men sit on your squad.

10 times, detectives have left early.

15 times, detectives have come in late.

Four times, detectives have taken 2-hour meals.

Don�t tell me they wore white socks while they ate.

And detective sipowicz�s chumminess

with local drug dealers?

That�s called keeping your ear to the ground.

So they�re informants.

Yeah. Registered informants?

If they weren�t, he must have been trying to turn �em out.

You also had a detective who moonlighted as a bouncer

at a club that serves alcohol.

I�m not messing around this time, Tony,

so you might want to lose the stupid grin.

This has nothing to do with how I run my squad.

This is a personal vendetta.

If it were only that easy for you.

I�m calling the chief of detectives,

and i�m letting him know it�s obvious

you�re out to get me and detective sipowicz.

You want to cut to the chase and call the chief of d�s,

i�ll present my case backed up with factual evidence

of negligence and dereliction, and you can stomp your feet

and cry about how you�re getting picked on.

I grew up in Washington heights, captain.

I can take anything you throw at me plus.

By 5:00, I want all your sign-in and-out books, roll calls,

and movement logs since you assumed command.

I�m in the middle of a homicide investigation.

I�ll get to it when I get to it.

Whoa, what�s this?

I don�t know.

How long they been in there?

A few minutes. He just barreled in.

It�s too garbled.

Don�t be obvious about it, medavoy.

My luck, i�m promoted one minute and in cuffs the next.

He�s coming out.

I�m gonna need access to your old case files,

four specifically.

My office will be in touch.

What are you talking about?

My office will be in touch, sipowicz.

Stay available for interviews.

What the hell�s up his ass now?

He�s got a list of grievances--

extended meal periods, leaving early.

Which of my cases is he talking about?

What he laid out to me,

it didn�t have anything to do with old cases.

He say anything about... Free dry-cleaning?

Not specifically. Meantime-- d. O. A.?

The korean kid didn�t go for it, decent alibi.

We�ll keep an eye on him.

Lady who lives across the street from the second crime scene,

she didn�t see it go down,

but she saw a black monte Carlo screeching off.

Terry parkhearst owns a black monte Carlo.

So we got him tied to both murder scenes?

We got a line on him?

I called his place five times. No answer.

Set up on it, cover the whole area.

Use a team from anticrime if you need to.

This is our guy.

What�s up?

Boss gave me some news earlier.

I�ve been mulling it over.

About this-- fraker?

From employee relations,

but fraker nosing around may have an impact.

They denied our request.

And I was all for saying the hell with it until fraker shows.

Well, we could put it off

till we find out what he�s after.

I can�t stand the idea of that weasel dictating my life plans.

Then we go ahead with it and one of US transfers.

That�s an option.

And since you�ve been here much longer than me--

no--

Andy, it�s all right.

The other option is just doing it

and keeping our traps shut, see what happens.

I don�t like going behind the boss�s back.

He already said if any heat comes down,

it won�t come from him.

So we keep it quiet.

Good.

Unit 2, be advised--

negative response at subject�s apartment.

10-4 unit one.

You got plans after work?

You asking me out?

No plans.

We�d like you to come over to the apartment

for a little something-- a ceremony, a wedding.

You�re kidding. That�s great.

Yeah, it�s gonna be small--

just the squad and a few friends.

So this is the real deal.

This is it.

Judge friend of connie�s is presiding.

I�ll be there.

We gotta keep it under wraps on account of the job.

They could torture me. I won�t crack.

Seriously, congratulations. I�m really happy for you.

Thanks.

Is it gonna be a problem if Ortiz is there?

Not for me.

If she pushes your buttons, are you gonna rise to it

or you gonna let it slide?

I�ll respect the occasion.

Appreciate it.

I�m gonna throw you a wicked bachelor party.

Black monte Carlo.

Unit 2, be advised--

subject just entered the block.

10-4. We got him.

Give him a chance to park the car.

Whoa, what the hell are they doing?

He made �em. Son of a bitch.

Get out of the way! Move it!

Come on, man!

Go around!

Son of a bitch!

We searched the area. Anybody get injured?

No, just shook up. What happened?

Anticrime spooked him.

Got another bodega shooting. The guy went d. O. A.

Same m. O.? Sounds like it.

Son of a bitch must have just been coming home from doing it.

Have mcdowell and Ortiz respond.

You guys wait for this asshole�s brother to show up.

Arab, owned the store.

Robbery?

No, same as the others.

Witness said the perp walked in, fired, walked out.

Did he get a look at the guy?

No, perp wore a mask.

Like we need this.

Same guy? Fit the pattern?

Yeah.

What happened to the guy you were sitting on?

We lost him. He made US in the street.

So when I walk back to that chief

and he asks why it went wrong, what do I tell him.

The guy wrecked three cars getting away.

We gonna mow down a bunch of pedestrians going after him?

What now?

I don�t know.

How�d you and Rita do on the canvass?

Nothing, and I got word from uniform

that Terry parkhearst�s car was found abandoned.

Our judge, Eileen, said her jury�s deliberating,

and they asked that the entire testimony

for three witnesses be read back.

She�s not gonna be out till midnight.

So, justice of the peace?

It�s getting late.

Sorry to eavesdrop, but have you considered

a friend becoming a minister online?

The universal church of tomorrow-- or today--

something like that-- will ordain anyone online.

It takes 15 minutes, costs $10.

And it�s legal?

My friend does weddings, funerals, baptisms, all legal.

Great, let�s do it.

John, would you mind?

Mind what?

Getting certified and doing the ceremony.

We�re down to the wire here,

and we got a psycho on the loose.

I�m flattered--

i�d be honored.

Great, get going.

I need to use anticrime�s computer to go online.

Anything after I left?

Yeah, the same m. O. And height/weight description

as the other two homicides.

Medavoy and Jones are sitting on Terry parkhearst�s place

waiting for him or his brother Mike.

We got anything to use on this Mike,

something to persuade him to help get his brother?

A wounded Gulf war vet with no record-- not much to work with.

What else are we doing?

Terry�s got no phone to dump for associates,

and no one in the building knows him or where he hangs out,

so we�re gonna run his social security number

and talk to past employers.

Afternoon.

Sipowicz, Clark.

Bartens.

Let�s talk in there.

Veteran or not, if it takes putting a thumb on his brother,

do what you gotta.

We need this guy in.

How come every time I come into this squad,

I feel like it�s me back on my heels?

�cause you got a bad guy above you-- fraker.

What�s his problem now?

What are you talking about?

You�ve been watching my guys

and are prepared for a full-scale investigation.

He said this was something ongoing, this investigation?

Ongoing for weeks.

There�s no recent investigation of this squad

that I ever heard of.

Then what is this?

Fraker�s been having a tough time lately.

Apparently, he was having an affair with a subordinate,

and last week, he got found out.

He�s up on charges?

The subordinate�s coming in to meet with our inspector at 3:00,

her and her lawyer to discuss a sexual-harassment suit,

but as far as the department coming down on him,

nothing official yet.

Or maybe not at all?

He was supposed to make deputy inspector this Friday,

but he got passed over.

What�s got him coming here?

He was on a fast track before he tangled with this squad.

Maybe he�s taking a last shot to break your balls

before he�s sent packing.

I don�t gotta stand for some I. A. B. Asshole

breaking my balls freelance.

If he comes in again, you give me a call.

I will.

So you haven�t spoken with your brother all day, Mike?

Not since he left this morning.

You told the other detectives

you were with your brother all night.

Because him being with you during the time of these murders

is getting more and more implausible.

Yeah? Well, it�s the truth.

Put the groceries on the table, and don�t take nothing.

Mike, we understand you wanting to cover for your brother,

but we�re at a point now where it�s not helping him.

As opposed to putting him in jail?

You need to understand--

time in jail and the quality of that time

depends on the reason behind these killings.

If he could explain why he did it, he could help himself out.

Like why Koreans and arabs.

That got something to do with what happened to you?

Terry didn�t do anything.

You been living together since you got back from the war?

Yeah.

He sees the difficulty that you suffer.

Maybe you got some bitterness toward arabs

that you haven�t been afraid to express.

He took all this and went on a killing spree.

Call it a misguided attempt to square up what happened to you.

If that�s the case,

that�s something the judge needs to hear.

You think i�m stupid?

If you don�t help US,

we�ll have to find him ourselves and maybe have to kill him.

He was with me.

Okay...

How long do you think you could survive

without your veteran�s benefits?

You can�t stop my benefits!

Yeah? Well, we can hold �em up five, six months.

That and your social security.

You guys are sick!

I served my country!

We got three people murdered.

We need your brother.

Honestly, I-I don�t know where he is.

You know some of the places he hangs out?

Maybe a few.

I�ll give you the addresses.

No, you�re coming with US to help US look for him.

Can I finish putting up my groceries?

Later. Let�s go.

Medavoy and Jones are driving around with Mike parkhearst

looking for Terry.

Good.

How you holding up with the wedding? Nervous?

Not at all.

Maybe a jitter or two.

You�re marrying a good woman.

What do you got to worry about?

When I stand in front of people

and i�m the center of attention

and it�s a formal-type occasion,

I tend to, sweat a lot.

Just wear an undershirt.

A situation like that,

I could sweat through a down jacket.

You�ll see.

I�ll be your corner man. I�ll have a towel ready.

Bring the smelling salts, too, just in case.

Beat it.

Alejandro Hernandez-- three years ago,

you pulled him out of his apartment

without a scratch on him, and somehow,

between there and this squad,

he ended up with a busted lip and two broken ribs.

Alejandro Hernandez who raped his 6-year-old niece?

How did he get the injuries, detective?

Slipped on a banana peel.

You abused him under collar of authority,

and i�m gonna get him to testify to that.

Enjoy it while you can, �cause i�m gonna have your shield.

You want to bring up charges on me, you go ahead,

but don�t go following me into the pisser

and squawking like chicken little.

You think that�s all I got?

Try tampering with crime scenes

and cohabitating with a fellow detective.

Lose your voice, sipowicz?

I�m in this �cause of you, and you�re going down with me.

What are you talking about?

You�re gone. You�re done.

-

-yeah. I got that part.

Greg, where are you guys now? The boss is asking.

Irvin still up in anticrime?

I�m pretty sure.

What�s he doing up there?

Yeah, thanks.

I�m sorry.

I didn�t know that you saw me get dropped off.

I was running late, so I caught a ride.

If that hurt you, I apologize.

You can do what you want, John.

I don�t want to make you feel bad,

and i�m not being condescending.

It�s just that I still care about you, and I respect you,

and, hell, we were friends, right?

Weren�t we friends?

We should be able to work this out.

That�s sweet, and I appreciate what you�re saying.

I�ll figure it out.

Come on, Connie.

What are they doing?

Still driving him around looking for Terry.

Mike�s using the bathroom.

Mike�s not gonna give up his brother.

You getting a sense for terry�s possible motive on this?

His brother was killing axis-of-evil types

to avenge Mike getting paralyzed in desert storm.

This morning�s d. O. A. Was from South Korea.

What axis are they on?

Obviously, terry�s gotta be a little nuts.

Hold on. Who�s who?

Mike�s the brother in the wheelchair.

Terry�s the perp.

So terry�s out there doing his own ethnic cleansing

because of what Mike went through.

I guess mike�s rambling on a list of complaints

about the Gulf war-- having to jump into hot drop zones--

jumping into hot drop zones? He didn�t say that.

Greg just said he did.

Greg, this guy say that he jumped

into hot d. Z.'S during desert storm?

You�re sure?

Bring his ass in here now.

No, just do it.

How many combat jumps you make in the Gulf war?

Not in the mood to tell war--

5? 10?

Three.

That�s odd, because there were no combat jumps in the Gulf war.

What was your m. O. S.?

Why you being disrespectful to me?

Do you even know what it stands for?!

I don�t gotta take this.

"Military occupational specialty"!

And if you were an infantryman, you would know

that your military occupational specialty was 91-bravo!

91-bravo!

Are you happy now?!

It�s 11-bravo, Terry.

The mug shot we were going off of

thinking it was your brother, but, you know.

You draw in the beard, some of that long hair, that�s you.

You got some balls.

Yeah? You got scuffed-up shoes, Terry.

Not enough time to get out of your Superman outfit

after we chased you?

I served my country.

I gave up my legs so that you could stand there and--

what the hell�s your problem?!

People who lie about doing military service, for one!

Help me up.

Guys killing hardworking immigrants,

that also gets to me!

Tell him to stop,

you want it to stop?! Stand up and walk away?!

Or just lie there, pretending to be helpless

and we�ll see just how much those legs can feel!

Get up. Get up. Get up!

They seem to we working fine now, you scumbag!

What the hell�s the matter with you?!

Have you ever took care of somebody that was sick?

Have you ever wiped somebody�s ass?

Have you ever cleaned out open, weeping bedsores?!

You ever tended to somebody for 24 hours a day?!

And you listen to his anger about them,

his bitterness about them.

They�re walking around! He can�t!

Your brother.

I revered him since I was a kid, man!

I looked up to him,

and I felt my heart turn into a rock when he died.

You have something to do with him dying?

No, he had an infected urinary tract,

infected kidneys, blood poisoning.

Did you dump his body so you could keep cashing his checks?

I took care of him for 10 years,

and I deserved those checks, and I earned those checks!

So why�d you start killing people?

If it wasn�t for them, he�d be walking around today.

If it wasn�t for them, i�d have a job.

I�d have a woman. I�d have a life.

So killing those random people was supposed to even the score.

They killed him.

They killed me.

You understand?

Sit down.

Took longer than I thought, but we�re good.

I�m official.

That�s great, John.

6:30?

Closer to 7:00.

See you then.

See you guys later.

Junior�s still getting parker�s statement.

That guy�s a real talker.

He give you where he dumped his brother?

A park near saratoga. I notified state police.

They�re on their way to the location.

Good. You heading out?

Anticrime�s gonna get Parker to central booking.

Have a good night.

Good night, lieutenant.

Good night, reverend.

We thought inviting you

might put you in a bad spot department-wise.

It would.

So, um...

Have a nice wedding.

Thank you.

I have to change. See you soon.

Okay.

You coming?

Right behind you.

Don�t leave me hanging.

Come on in.

What�s this?

Transfer request.

Yours?

Yeah.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

This is totally out of the blue, Rita.

I mean, why?

I just want to get back to Brooklyn, closer to home.

All of a sudden, the extra 20-minute drive got to you?

I guess so.

This have anything to do with you and Clark?

No.

I can talk to him if it does.

It doesn�t.

I respect you wanting to keep this private,

but, um, if I don�t know what�s bothering you

about working here, I can�t fix it.

There�s nothing to fix.

I�m just ready to transfer to another squad.

I�ve really enjoyed my time working for you,

but I need a change.

Will you give me the chance to talk you out of it?

My mind�s made up, lieu.

I�ll tell you what-- sleep on it at least.

If you still want to transfer tomorrow, i�ll sign it.

Okay.

Thanks. I�ll talk to you tomorrow.

Hey.

Hey. Big night.

Yeah.

Are you coming?

I�ve been going back and forth on it,

and I don�t know if i�d be completely comfortable, but i--

if you don�t think you�d be comfortable,

you don�t have to come.

I don�t want to make it about me.

It�s your night.

Don�t worry about that.

I just wouldn�t want to take any attention away,

�cause, um, I know he and I don�t exactly put off

the most positive vibe when we�re around each other.

I�m sorry.

I know you�re looking out for me, and I appreciate it.

It�s been harder than I thought.

I guess I was really, you know...

In love with him...

More than I knew at the time.

Let�s get some coffee.

No, you get out of here, okay?

Have fun. Enjoy the night.

And you�re gonna be okay?

Yeah, absolutely.

Call me if you need to talk.

Okay.

Get sipowicz in here.

Why?

�cause I said so.

He�s gone for the night, captain.

Get him in here now

or do you want to get rung up on insubordination?

I can try paging him.

You do that.

You sure came on the job at the right time, Tony.

Did I?

You know what the word on you is.

I don�t.

If you weren�t a puerto rican,

you wouldn�t have been promoted past patrolman.

You�ve been drinking, captain. That�s obvious.

So i�m gonna cut you some slack.

But you sure pulled a number on me, didn�t you?

Dropped that dime about me sleeping with a detective,

or was it sipowicz who ratted me out?

I�ll get somebody to take you home.

I don�t have a home now, Tony!

My wife found out about it today along with everybody else,

and my clothes are apparently on the front lawn.

Then get a hotel and sober up.

If you do that, i�ll keep this conversation between US.

You�re gonna do me favors now?

Where�s sipowicz?

I want him in here!

Captain fraker, either you leave or I make a phone call.

So it was you who ratted me out, wasn�t it?

Just like you did when I was in uniform and you were undercover.

I didn�t then. I didn�t now.

You�re a dirty spic rat, Tony,

and you�re a disgrace to this job!

Okay, now your options are either you leave

or you get your ass kicked.

You ratted me out!

What�s it gonna be?

Bullet missed his heart and spine,

but he�s got a punctured lung.

Is he conscious? No.

But he�s hanging in?

Yeah, and the vitals are stable for now.

Doc says they keep going back and forth.

How you holding up?

Okay.

You did real good. He�s only alive because of you.

There�s a lot of press out there.

Brass?

I should head out and deal with it.

When you�re ready.

Yeah. A little while.

The kids are okay?

Yeah, my friend andrea�s got them.

Was there anyone else invited? I could wait for them.

Think I got in touch with everyone.

If anybody shows up, though,

why don�t you let them know the wedding�s on hold.

Tell them why. Thanks, John.

So-- stable.

So far.
