Original subtitles

Leaving the scene. It just happened.

We were in the area, heard the job over the radio.

The guy's iffy. The girl's going out of the picture.

Where is the ambulance?!

It's coming, ma'am. Anybody see anything?

Neighbor saw a light-colored SUV come speeding by,

hit the cyclist, jumped the curb, hit the girl.

She didn't get a license plate.

Hey, her first! Come on!

Take it easy?

Please.

That Tony grimaldi?

Yeah. It's his daughter that's d. O. A.

He's a mob guy.

Driver's lucky he kept going.

This crowd would have killed him.

She's dying! Do something!

Whoa! Help her!

Sir, come on. He's doing everything he can.

He left her. Please, please.

Get the little girl first. Get her over to the hospital.

Car fitting the description

was just spotted on broome and Lafayette.

Driver was attacked at the scene.

Let's go.

Man: He did it, man. It was your boy that did it.

Come on.

Man #2: Forget about it!

All right, knock it off! Come on.

These two groups of guys were going at it when we rolled up.

We're still trying to figure out what was going down.

What did I say?! Get back.

Hey, you-- you in the Knicks jacket.

Come here. What's your name?

Pete amechi.

What happened here, Pete?

Me and my buddies went looking for that guy

who ran over that little girl-- we spot the car.

It's got dents on the bumper, the grille.

So we cut the guy off,

and we're holding him till the police show.

But then these numbnuts jump US

because they think we're attacking someone innocent.

Where's the black guy who was driving this SUV?

He boogied during the fight, man.

Pete, what are you doing?

Mind your own business, pal.

That's all I know, guys.

Let US handle this. Understand?

We've had enough loss today.

We don't want to have to lock any of you guys up.

Do what you got to do.

We need to know who was driving this SUV.

We need to find him before they do.

15th squad, p. A. A. Irvin.

One second.

Roberta blank from a.C.S. Confirming for today.

Tell her I'll be there. Or does she want to talk to me?

He'll be there. Or would you like to speak with him?

Fine.

Thanks.

She'll see you at 2:00.

Child services?

Yeah, Michael's been staying with me.

I just go to make it official paperwork-wise.

Are you adopting him?

No, no. I'm just getting qualified as a foster parent.

How's it going? It's good.

How long is he gonna stay with you?

I don't know. As long as he needs.

White female over at bellevue was raped in her apartment.

Rita, you and Greg go talk to her in the hospital.

Baldwin, you head down to her apartment building,

start a canvass.

What's the latest?

Little girl's d. O. A.

The guy on the bike's going into the o. R.

Anything on the SUV?

Belongs to a 60-year-old doctor from the Upper East Side.

He reported it stolen last night.

What about the driver that was beat up at the scene?

We identify him yet? Not yet.

Crime scene's processing the SUV for prints.

The father of the d. O. A. Girl, he's mobbed up?

Yeah, he's Tony grimaldi. He's underboss for the gambinos.

Which means we're not getting dick as far as cooperation from anybody down there.

If we don't find the driver of that car before they do,

we're gonna wind up with another homicide.

Keep in touch with bellevue.

If this guy on the bike pulls through,

you want to be the first guy he talks to.

Right here.

Mr. and Mrs. Foster?

Detectives Rita Ortiz and Greg medavoy.

If we could talk to you a minute in private.

If you're up to it.

It's all right.

Can you tell US what happened?

A man rang the doorbell.

He said he was from the cable company,

and he had the hat on.

So I opened the door, and he pushed me in.

What did he look like?

30, white, brown hair.

Heavyset, short goatee.

And he didn't have the cable company uniform on,

just the hat.

Would you recognize him if you saw him again?

What happened after he pushed you into your apartment?

He put a knife to my throat and pinned me down

and said he would kill me if I made any noise.

Did he say anything else?

Just sick, sick things like...

Like was he bigger than my husband.

And he knew my husband was at work

and that he wouldn't be coming home to save me.

Excuse me.

If you're done, we need to finish the kit.

Please don't tell my husband. It would just make him upset.

Sure.

You think she's okay?

She's pretty shook up.

Mr. Foster, do you keep a set schedule?

I guess, yeah.

Any problems with people at work?

Someone at my work did this?

It just sounds like the guy who did it knows your schedule.

Should I be talking to people at my work, asking questions?

You should be directing your energy toward helping your wife.

Let US handle finding who did this.

You're not the type to jump the gun

and start looking into people, are you, Mr. Foster?

No, I'm not the vigilante type.

Good. We'll be in touch.

Do you know him at all?

Listen to me. Here's what you got to do.

You got to get him to turn himself in.

...gone.

Rodriguez: Who was that?

Anonymous caller on our hit-and-run this morning.

He said the black guy the Italians were beating on

is Calvin George.

They give anything past the name? Nothing.

Andy: I'm checking the phone book.

Off chance the guy who raped Michelle foster

knows her or the husband, maybe a stalker.

I'm gonna call into the husband's work,

see if anyone had a beef.

Around the time of the rape,

a neighbor saw a suspicious-looking guy

speed off in a Taurus-- she got the plate.

It's registered to Norman Reese, battery park city.

Let's do it.

Got it.

Where you going?

Calvin George is listed, address in red hook.

Junior, look at this.

Come here. Out of the car.

Come on. Everybody, out.

What's going on, guys?

Engine was overheating.

Come here.

Your other buddies laying into that guy at the scene,

that's one thing.

But if anything happens to him now after the fact,

that's premeditated, and I will hold you responsible,

and you will get locked up.

Just letting the engine cool down, detective.

Beat it.

Got a call about a group of guys making threats.

Yeah, we handled it.

What's going on?

You know a Calvin George?

Yeah, I'm his mother.

Where is he? I don't know.

He's not in the apartment? No.

Go ahead and look if you want. The door's unlocked.

Could you check it out? Apartment 1f.

We need to talk to your son, ma'am.

He might have been involved in an accident this morning.

I don't know nothing about that.

Those men that were across the street, they do anything?

They were pounding on the door,

yelling, "Calvin, get your ass out here."

What kind of accident?

A hit-and-run.

Believe me when I tell you Calvin is better off with US

than he is with those guys who just left here.

You understand me? Yeah.

If Calvin calls or shows up, you let US know, for his sake.

Nobody inside.

You do like I say.

So, Mr. Reese, what's a c. N. A. Do?

Is that computer-related?

Certified network administrator.

When all your computers freeze up,

and people start yelling at each other,

I'm the guy who gets called, and then you yell at me.

So, your system down? Is that why you brought me in?

Where were you this morning, 8:00?

Um, home installing a cooler

to over-clock the processor on my rig.

We'll just assume that's something computer-oriented.

Yeah, see, how it works is--

you know a woman named Michelle foster? No.

You ever been to 742 east 12th street? I don't think so.

No?

You drive a Taurus with that plate number?

See, somebody saw you drive away from there,

and they wrote down your plate number.

So...how we gonna handle this?

I don't understand what the problem is.

Michelle foster saw your face. Yeah, so what?

So you raped her, you techie asshole,

in your little cable guy hat with a knife at her throat.

No, I-I did not rape her. I mean, not technically.

Literally, I did what she wanted.

How did she make it known to you what she wanted--

telepathy through a peephole of a door?

Over instant messaging, man.

She laid it out how she liked it, and all I did was respond.

What are you talking about?

Me and this Michelle who goes by "nasty girl,"

met in a chat room on-line, okay?

A rape fantasy chat room, okay.

She told me she wasn't getting it rough from her husband,

and she went on-line.

All I did was respond.

I got to admit, Norman, that's a new one.

I saved the I. M.'S.

She gave me instructions on what to wear,

what to say, her address.

I-I even got her phone number

to confirm that it wasn't a put-on.

I called and I confirmed.

You talked to Michelle foster? Yes.

You got all the correspondence on the computer at home? Yes.

Then why did you lie to US

when we asked you if you knew Michelle foster?

'Cause I guess I knew it was too good to be true.

This idiot is claiming that Michelle foster

wanted him to come over and rape her.

What?

He says he's got correspondence that'll prove it.

We're heading over to his place. Toss it good.

Rita, will you look into this with Greg?

I got that 2:00 I need to get to.

No problem.

15th squad.

One moment, please.

Florence George, Calvin's mother.

Detective sipowicz.

Okay, calm down. You all right?

We'll be right over there.

What's going on?

Somebody just fired shots into her apartment.

Any witnesses?

Nothing solid.

A couple people saw two white guys

speeding off on a motorcycle,

but nobody got the license-plate number or make of the bike.

If I had been in the front room, I'd be dead.

Has Calvin contacted you yet? About five minutes ago.

He swears he didn't run over no kids this morning.

Is he on his way in? No.

Why not?

He's got a warrant out on a pot possession charge,

and he knows y'all gonna put him in jail.

Did you tell him you almost got killed over this?

He's scared. He don't know what to do.

Your son is walking around with a bull's-eye on his chest.

He didn't do no hit-and-run.

Then he needs to get his ass in right now and explain himself.

As long as he's on the street, there's nothing we can do.

You could arrest those Italians

that was parked across the street this morning.

For what? For parking across the street?

They're probably the ones who shot my apartment.

If you want your son to live,

you need to get him to turn himself in.

You're not married, correct?

No, but I am involved in a relationship with someone.

Are you heterosexual? Yes, very much so.

As a squad detective, are those hours pretty regular?

If it becomes an issue, I can make alternate plans

to have someone look after Michael.

Who?

My girlfriend, who's an assistant d. A.,

or fellow detectives who are parents, also.

I assume you have weapons in the home.

Just one, and I'm usually attached to it.

You have any experience at raising children, Mr. Jones?

I've been involved in a mentoring program

as you can see from my application.

In terms of managing behavior or discipline--

I wasn't given the impression that there a whole lot of people

jumping at the chance to take Michael in.

He's not a stray dog, Mr. Jones.

He's a child dealing with some very serious issues.

I've know Michael gorman a couple of months now.

I've been with him through the death of his mom

and his dad getting locked up.

-I respect that.

But I've worked hundreds of cases like this.

When someone who's close to the child

discovers that they're ill-equipped

to deal with bad behavior, sometimes extreme behavior,

they come back to me saying they can't do it anymore,

which leaves the child crushed when they have to move out.

I was raised by my grandma.

She got sick when I was 14,

and I was basically on my own, staying with friends.

This one buddy of mine, his dad was a cop.

I started having dinner a lot at their home,

and I ended up moving in with them

until my grandma got better.

But my friend's dad was the only guy I could go to,

the only guy I could confide in, that I could trust.

I'm not some do-gooder with his head in the clouds.

I've been there. I know what Michael needs.

And if you give me the opportunity,

I can provide that for him.

We'll schedule a visit to your home,

review your references

and the rest of your application.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Right this way.

That's Michelle foster from this morning.

The rape victim?

We checked into this Norman Reese's story.

He's got all kinds of documentation

showing that she invited him over.

Any evidence that they spoke on the phone beforehand?

He gave US a number he called,

and it was for a coffee place in the east village.

They said it's not that unusual

for customers to take calls there.

You run Reese with b. C. I.?

No record. Not even a parking ticket.

See what she says.

So, Michelle, just a couple of questions for you.

Do you use the Internet much?

Sure.

You ever go into chat rooms? Sometimes.

What kind of chat rooms do you go into?

I went into one about vacationing in The Bahamas.

Have you ever been in a chat room

called "female for male rough play"? No.

Do you know a man named Norman Reese? No.

You didn't meet Mr. Reese in the rough-play room?

I already told you I haven't been in that chat room.

When you do go into rooms, what's the name you use?

"Michelle f."

Have you ever used the name "nasty girl"?

What on earth are you talking about?

The man who attacked you this morning,

he says that he met you in a chat room

and that you invited him to come over.

That is outrageous.

He has a lot of evidence to back it up,

including a phone call to you, confirming your interest.

It's a total lie.

Is there any possibility you went into a chat room,

invited this guy over, and it got out of hand?

No! No! Absolutely not.

I don't know any... Norman Reese?

And I have never been in any rough-play chat room.

I answered my door for the cable company,

and I was raped!

I cannot believe this is happening,

and I can't believe you're doing this to me!

We'll look into it some more. You do that.

I tend to buy her story.

Yeah, me too.

We got more digging to do. I'll fill you in.

All right.

We got to get this Calvin George in

before those loony Italians kill him.

We're running guys he's been collared with.

I'll pitch in on that.

Before you get going, I have a quick announcement to make.

Just want to let you all know

that I'm putting in my papers for retirement.

When?

I got my appointment with the pension board in a few days,

so soon after that-- maybe a week.

You leaving to something?

Security director job.

Which you accepted when? Andy.

I interviewed for it last week.

I accepted yesterday.

So...

Congratulations.

Yeah, absolutely.

We'll miss you.

As soon as my last day's firmed up, I'll pass it on.

Well, how about that?

Yeah. Well, we got work to do.

Boss, we ran the screen name "nasty girl"

through the Internet provider.

It came back to a Courtney bates.

Not Michelle foster?

Courtney bates.

That wasn't something we should have checked

before leaning on the victim?

The I. S. P. Was being a real pain in the ass earlier

about opening their records without a court order.

They finally relented.

It took some convincing.

Maybe threatening's a better word.

I don't want to know. Just get this Courtney bates in.

So, boss?

Yeah?

Any particular reason for the sudden departure?

I know the squad's curious.

Speak for yourself, medavoy.

It was time for me to go.

The outcome of the trial, did that factor in?

Next, are you gonna ask him to turn his head and cough?

It's okay, Andy.

No, it was time to go. You said it already.

He don't need to put you under the hot light.

I can't say the trial didn't factor in,

but, it's just time for me to go.

Where you guys at?

Going to have a conversation with Tony grimaldi,

the father of the d. O. A.

See if he can get his boys to back off

from hunting down Calvin George.

I was just curious.

You're nosy.

I'm just curious.

Mr. Grimaldi.

You have our deepest sympathies.

Thank you.

I know this is the last thing you want to do,

but we need to talk to you about this morning.

Did you see what happened?

No. I was in the kitchen.

We know people in this neighborhood look up to you.

Has anybody given you information that could help US?

We were out of coffee.

So I sent Theresa to get some from the corner market.

If I would have got up off my lazy ass and done it myself,

she'd still be alive.

We're very sorry, sir.

Mr. Grimaldi...

There's people out there right now,

people associated with you,

who are looking for the driver of that car.

They already fired shots into his mother's apartment.

My daughter's dead.

You think I give a rat's ass about the son of a bitch?

We know you care about the other guys out there looking for him.

We tried to let them know if anything happens to our suspect,

they're going to jail, but they're not listening to US.

That's 'cause they know this son of a bitch

ain't gonna do any real time.

Vehicular manslaughter, possibly two counts,

and fleeing the scene of an accident?

He'll do time.

Let US do our job and let each of your guys stay out of jail.

If this guy don't pay a fair price

for taking my daughter's life,

when he hits the street again... All bets are off.

Yeah, we'll take care of that.

I'll put out the word.

He's right here. Don't hang up.

It's Calvin George.

I'm putting him on the phone right now.

No, it's him. You have my word.

Detective sipowicz.

Come in and tell me where you were this morning.

Calvin, how can I say I believe you're not

based on a phone conversation?

Don't worry about your damn pot possession.

Worry about your mom who got shot at.

Worry about not getting killed by that lynch mob

who's out there looking for you right now.

Now, where can we meet you?

I'm gonna get the car. I'll meet you in front.

Yeah. -

have a seat, Courtney.

Okay.

You a student?

Yeah, but I'm taking a semester off.

You know Michelle foster? No.

You didn't go on the Internet

pretending to be Michelle foster? Pardon me?

We got information that you've been going into chat rooms

under the moniker "nasty girl"

and claiming to be Michelle foster.

Well, I, don't know that person,

and I've never in my life called myself "nasty girl."

Michelle foster was raped this morning

by a guy who thought she was inviting him over for rough sex.

Because of what this "nasty girl" said

in a chat room?

There you go.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that,

but I had nothing to do with it.

Then how's the name "nasty girl" get back to your account?

I bought my computer secondhand.

It was somebody else's before that.

I sometimes lend it to the space cadet down the hall.

There's a thousand ways I could have been hacked.

All of which we'll be looking into.

Fine.

We need your computer.

And the name of the space cadet down the hall

and who you bought the computer from.

Let me get this straight. You stole the car? Right.

But you didn't do the hit-and-run? Exactly.

How's that work?

I'm walking down the street,

and I see this white boy pull up in this dope SUV...

And he hopped out and headed around the corner...

With the doors open, the keys in it.

It's like he was asking me to steal it.

So I did.

And you were driving, and these Italians cut you off.

And start beating the hell out of me.

I figure it's 'cause I stole the truck.

If you boosted this car on Elizabeth street, like you say,

what were you doing in little Italy to begin with?

I was looking for my wallet. Yeah?

I'm at a bar down in the village last night-- tricky's.

I start talking to this white chick-- Anne Marie.

She invites me back to her place.

I'm thinking maybe she got the fever.

But we get there, and I'm already drunk as it is,

but now she lights up some weed-- that was it.

I passed out on the futon.

When'd you leave her place?

About 5:00 a. M.

It was still dark out, which is gonna factor in later.

So I head home, but when I get there,

I realize I don't have my wallet on me.

So I go all the way back to Anne Marie's.

The problem is, I don't know where she live exactly

'cause it was dark out when I left,

and I was still half drunk anyhow.

The next thing I see is the SUV with the keys in it.

What's this Anne Marie's last name?

I don't know. I never got it.

What are the cross streets where Anne Marie lives?

I don't know that, either. I wish to hell I did.

But your wallet's still gonna be at this Anne Marie's apartment.

No, see, 'cause here's the thing.

After I got attacked and was walking around

trying to figure out what to do,

I felt something in my jacket in this pocket up here,

and it was my wallet.

Amazing.

See, I never put it there.

So I must've been drunk last night.

There's no way of proving that story.

It's the truth. I'm starting to think it ain't, Calvin.

We got a witness who puts you behind the wheel of that SUV

at the scene of the accident.

They got the wrong brother, plain and simple.

'Cause you're just an innocent bystander

looking for a mystery apartment

so you can find your lost wallet

which wasn't really lost to begin with.

Yo, is this a ride?

Is this getting shoved down my throat no matter what I say?

Calvin, you need to keep in mind one thing.

If you keep lying, the family of that little girl

are gonna stay pissed off at you.

And we're not gonna be there to watch your back

every day the rest of your life.

So show remorse, admit what you did.

It's the best way.

And if you don't believe US, Calvin,

ask your mom if those were real bullets

shot through her window this morning.

I was looking for a girl named Anne Marie's--

I don't want to hear that bullshit story again.

If I did it, I'd tell you. But it wasn't me.

You're making a big mistake, Calvin.

Only god can judge me.

Well, you hold on to that.

Hey.

Calvin George?

He's denying it. Big surprise.

We'll go back at him in a bit. Good.

What's the story?

Retiring?

No, your choice of tie.

It's just time.

Don't go selling that weak crap to me.

There's no hoodwink here, Andy.

Is it Ortiz?

What do you know about that?

It was a hunch I had, but you just confirmed it.

There's nothing going on,

but if it were, it'd be a private matter.

And this security gig,

I'm sure he was real sweet at the interview,

but it's just a matter of time

before you're snapping up whores for him.

Who knows?

I'm already signed on, so...

Then this is 'cause you got dropped off the list

for captain's pay?

It tells me I'm not getting any further on the job.

That's a punk move.

Never once in my life have I punked out of anything.

If you cared about this job,

if it had any meaning to you at all,

you'd turn it back on them and fight.

I don't want to leave.

But I gave the department everything for 18 years.

I took a bullet, and they let me down.

Got a call from bellevue.

Ray espinoza, the guy on the bike,

he's in recovery and alert.

You still want to be updated, or did the bus already leave?

Yes, I want to be updated. And don't push me any more.

Ray espinoza?

Detectives from the 15th squad.

You made it.

You think I'm bad? You should see the truck.

You got a lot of family outside waiting to see you.

First, real quick, though,

did you get a look at the guy driving the SUV?

Yeah. All right.

We got a photo array we're gonna show you.

Tell US if you recognize the guy, okay?

Driver was a white guy.

We're talking about the driver of the SUV who hit you.

Yeah, white guy, young, dark hair.

You're sure? Positive.

I looked right at him when he was coming at me.

Was there a black guy in the car at all?

No, not in the front.

Only guy I saw was the driver, and he was white.

I'd just like you to know

that my wife hasn't stopped crying all today.

We're sorry to hear that.

There's a lot of ways to do things in the world.

You got a case to solve. I respect that.

But stomping on the victim? You got a lot of balls.

Tell US about Courtney bates.

I don't think you're listening to me.

You know the name? I can't place it.

Courtney bates, blond hair,

called your office 19 times the last two weeks.

Place it now?

What's going on?

You having an affair with her?

How does this pertain

to catching the guy who raped my wife?

We got the guy who raped your wife.

But he was duped on-line into thinking he had her consent.

What we need to figure out now is who put him up to it--

you and Courtney or Courtney alone?

This guy thought he had consent, and you believe that?

Mr. Foster, if you want to keep yourself out of jail,

you need to stop slapping back everything we say

and just answer the questions.

Are you screwing Courtney bates? Yes or no.

It's more of an emotional intimacy.

What'd I just say about answering the questions?

Okay, yes, fine.

But I had no idea she would do something like this.

She ever shown crazy behavior before? No.

Has she ever threatened to do harm to your wife in any way? No.

Did you put thoughts into Courtney's head about

what life would be like if your wife was out of the picture?

No, no way.

You understand, if that were true,

you'd be the first guy banging around on his wife who didn't.

I swear to you, Courtney and I had a mutual agreement--

sex and nothing else.

Look, I love my wife.

She's just old-fashioned.

As far as fidelity and whatnot?

In the bedroom.

She's puritanical.

But I never meant for her to be raped, and...

If Courtney had anything to do with this, she can go to hell.

All right. Go be with your wife.

But if we call and you're not there,

she hears about Courtney.

Excuse US, ma'am. May I help you?

Detectives Clark and sipowicz. Have you been here all day?

Yes.

We've been told that there was a car stolen this morning--

a big, silver SUV-- from right out front here.

To stay in business in this neighborhood,

you got to mind your own business.

See, the thing is, ma'am, the owner of the car,

he's an elderly man who bought it for his kids,

and the insurance company is refusing to pay

because the story doesn't add up.

He's saying that a white kid stole it,

but ultimately a black guy was found driving it.

We're just trying to straighten everything out.

So this has nothing to do

with Tony grimaldi's daughter being killed?

It might.

Then why didn't you just come out and say it?

Because everybody's been lying to US today.

And if everybody keeps on lying,

an innocent guy is gonna get killed.

A boy from the neighborhood, something of a hoodlum,

parked it out front here, and then he ran off.

A minute or so later,

a young black man got in and drove away.

The boy from the neighborhood, what's his name?

The old man and his insurance-- you're a good liar.

I apologize for not being completely up front.

Theresa grimaldi was a beautiful young girl.

Out of respect for her memory, I'm gonna tell you what I know.

But I'll never talk about it again.

Danny pugliesi.

Thanks, ma'am.

Appreciate your help.

You never been in a police station before this morning,

have you, Courtney? No.

Then we'll just chalk up all the lying you did then

to an ignorance of the process.

I'm sorry, but what are you talking about?

You sleeping with Jason foster, for one.

You can't say I lied about something you never brought up.

What, are you 3 years old?

Well, you didn't.

We'll make this simple, then.

You choose between "a"--

you plotted Michelle foster's rape and don't give a damn.

Or "b"-- it was a prank that got out of control.

"B."

How'd it start?

Well, she's controlling and manipulative,

and she uses the fact that he's a decent guy

to get what she wants.

You know all this about a woman you've never met?

Jason told me. Got it.

He's a successful stockbroker, and he needs to be in New York.

But she keeps whining about moving back to north Carolina.

What else did Jason say about his wife?

They stopped having sex a month after getting married.

She takes pills, drinks all the time.

He's miserable.

How'd you get the idea of the rape chat room?

One night I, um...

I had too much sangria with some girlfriends,

and I just thought maybe a little scare

might give her some motivation.

So I went on-line. It was a joke.

Did you discuss your joke with Jason?

If it worked and she moved out, I was gonna tell him.

And then you'd get married and be happy together?

I don't know. Maybe.

I didn't mean for her to get raped.

That was absolutely not my intention.

I'm sorry if it went too far.

I'll do whatever you want me to do.

I'll write a note, apologize, okay?

Can I leave now?

Courtney, you're not going anywhere.

You're under arrest.

What?!

Get up.

What do you want?

We're looking for Danny pugliesi.

You his dad?

Yeah. What do you need Danny for?

We heard he might be a witness to the hit-and-run.

He would've said something to me if he did.

We need to talk to your kid.

Come in.

Danny, get out here!

Heard you got Calvin George in custody.

He better stay there if he knows what's good for him.

Calvin didn't do the hit-and-run.

What, al sharpton have a protest march or something?

You didn't see that hit-and-run, did you? No.

Been busted before-- grand larceny auto?

What's that about?

We got a witness saw you dump that SUV

on broome off Lafayette this morning.

Then Calvin hopped in and took it from there.

But it was you that hit Theresa grimaldi

and that guy on the bike.

Don't even think about pinning this on my son.

He didn't do nothing. Danny, right? Right.

Okay, then the next step is running a lineup--

matching your son's fingerprints

with what we got off the car,

comparing DNA from hair we got off the driver's seat.

You're gonna want to avoid all that.

Danny, you didn't do this.

He did do it, and all your douche-bag buddies

that you were going after Calvin George with

are gonna know Danny's who we're looking at.

So if he don't come clean

and start protecting himself right now,

it's gonna be open season.

It was an accident.

My god.

I was partying uptown with some guys.

We took the car for fun.

I was on my way home, and I thought I saw a cop behind me.

So I turned onto broome and I gunned it.

It was an accident.

We're gonna have to take him in, Mr. Pugliesi.

What's Mr. Grimaldi gonna do to me, dad?

I'll talk to Tony. I'll make it right with him...

Before he hears from someone else.

Your son will be at the 15th precinct, Mr. Pugliesi.

I'm sorry, dad.

Come on.

Keep him safe?

You have our word.

Any question as to whether

Courtney bates acted with malice?

Going into that chat room,

she absolutely expected that something bad

was going to happen to Michelle foster.

Then it's conspiracy to commit rape or rape by proxy.

Either way, she's a collar.

Is it worth pursuing the husband?

Sounds like he was telling Courtney lies about his wife

to keep her in the sack.

He's a dog, but it's not criminal.

What about the guy who did the rape?

This is a bad guy with bad instincts.

Still, it boils down to consent.

And from everything you're telling me,

Reese thought he had it.

So we get him on the next one?

I'll see that it's put in front of the grand jury.

Still, he could walk.

Danny pugliesi went for it. Junior's taking his statement.

Page me when he's done.

And we want to kick Calvin George.

For the failure-to-appear warrant?

It's our thinking he's had a bad enough day.

I'll have the warrant vacated.

And get with Tony grimaldi.

Make sure he knows who really killed his daughter

and to keep his goons off of Calvin George.

Heading there right now.

We'll break the news to Courtney and get her to booking.

15th squad.

Hey, I'm gonna head home first and change.

There's a d. O. A. Over on rivington.

Who's up? We got it covered.

Two in the head execution-style.

No I. D. On him.

His name's gio pugliesi.

We'll notify occb, see if them or the feds

have gotten anything over their wires.

So, a mob hit? Yeah.

Come on. We'll be back.

We're with our priest. If you could keep it short.

We found gio pugliesi's body.

Gio's dead now?

Yeah. And we know he came to talk to you.

I can't believe it.

All this in one day.

Where's it stand with gio's son?

I suppose whoever did this felt it was better punishment

for the son to spend the rest of his life

knowing he was responsible for his father's death,

just like I have to spend my life thinking about what I lost.

We'll be looking at this hard, Tony.

I'd like to get back with father debenidetti,

if you don't mind.

So, this lady at child services, is she gonna talk to me?

Probably.

I'll tell her this is where I want to be.

When do they decide?

They didn't give me a time frame,

but I don't think it'll be a problem.

She said it wouldn't be a problem?

That's the impression I got.

And if she turns US down, we can go to somebody else?

Don't worry, Michael.

One of the things they were asking was who'd watch you

if I got stuck on a case that went late.

What'd you tell them?

'Cause I'll be all right on my own.

Just to be safe, Valerie volunteered to be backup

if I can't get home at night.

You come here or I go to your place?

Either. We'd work it out.

Okay.

It's good. Thanks.

I got to finish my homework.

Hit it.

And I really appreciate your help.

You're gonna need it.

I'm not saying that in a bad way,

but this may get overwhelming.

So just call me when it does.

Yeah.

Everything's gonna work out.

Absolutely.

So, when's the new job start?

I think next Friday is my last day in the squad,

so a week or so after that.

No downtime.

I don't want any.

I got to admit, the transition to private sector...

You're wearing it pretty good.

The decision's made. It's public knowledge.

It's a weight off.

And it's given me a little perspective.

I might have taken the job a little too seriously.

It's serious work.

Still, there's nothing wrong with a smile now and then...

And having a life.

Is that where I come in?

I hope so.

Being honest, I'm a little scared by it.

I don't date around a lot.

When I get involved, I take it seriously.

Rita, for one, you're beautiful.

You're a great detective. And you're easy to talk to.

I haven't come across someone

with all that going for them much in my life.

It's not something I would take lightly.

Excuse me.

I-I got that. Thanks.

Wait.

This is a hotel, right?
