[KNOCK ON DOOR]

HEY.

HI, JOHNNY.

COME ON IN.

I SQUARED THE BLOCK TWICE.

NOBODY FOLLOWED ME.

COME IN. SIT DOWN.

WHAT'S UP?

I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU TESTIFYING TOMORROW.

IT'S GONNA GO O. K.

HOW? IF YOU SAY ANYTHING, YOU'LL HAVE TO LIE.

THEN THEY'LL COME AFTER YOU.

JANICE, I'M GOING TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.

YOU TALK TO SINCLAIR?

YEAH. HE LIKES THE JURY.

HE THINKS THE FIRST TWO DAYS WENT O. K.

HE GIVE ANY REASON WHY THIS GINA ZARONE IS GOING TO TESTIFY?

HE THINKS IT'S ABOUT MARINO'S LEDGER.

JOHNNY, I DID WHAT I DID,

AND I'M READY TO GO AWAY FOR IT.

THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

IF YOU WEREN'T A COP, THIS WOULDN'T BE HAPPENING.

THE D. A. WOULD LET YOU PLEAD.

I COULDN'T LIVE WITH MYSELF

IF IT BRINGS YOU DOWN, TOO.

COME HERE.

COME HERE.

NOW, LISTEN TO ME, O. K.?

WE ARE GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS.

DID YOU HEAR ME?

I LOVE YOU.

I'M ALWAYS GOING TO LOVE YOU.

NO. NO.

WE'RE MAKING THIS‐‐RIGHT?

WE DON'T NEED TO CONFUSE THIS NOW.

I'M NOT GOING TO SAY I'M SORRY.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO SAY YOU'RE SORRY.

I THINK YOU SHOULD GO. WE DON'T WANT TO CONFUSE THIS.

AM I RIGHT? O. K.

I WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW IN COURT, RIGHT?

SEE YOU TOMORROW.

DETECTIVE KELLY, YOU WERE THE ORIGINAL INVESTIGATING OFFICER

IN THE SHOOTING DEATHS OF ANGELO MARINO AND HIS BODYGUARD ANTHONY CAPELLO?

THAT'S RIGHT.

ACCORDING TO HER STATEMENT,

YOU ALSO HAD A PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT WITH JANICE LICALSI,

WHO HAS CONFESSED TO COMMITTING THOSE MURDERS.

YOU WERE SLEEPING WITH HER BEFORE AND AFTER THE SHOOTINGS.

DETECTIVE, IS IT YOUR TESTIMONY

THAT DESPITE THIS INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP,

YOU NEVER SUSPECTED MISS LICALSI MIGHT HAVE COMMITTED THESE CRIMES?

THAT'S RIGHT.

I NOW CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO A MURDER

THAT OCCURRED TWO MONTHS AFTER THE MARINO SHOOTING.

YOU WERE ALSO THE INVESTIGATING OFFICER

IN THE DEATH OF THOMAS LINARDI. CORRECT?

I WAS ONE.

DID THERE COME INTO YOUR POSSESSION

IN THE COURSE OF THAT INVESTIGATION

A LEDGER WHICH HAD BELONGED TO ANGELO MARINO

AND WHICH LISTED OFFICERS IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT

WHO'D BEEN ON MARINO'S PAYROLL?

I COLLECTED THE LEDGER AT THE CRIME SCENE.

DOES JANICE LICALSI'S NAME APPEAR IN THIS DOCUMENT?

NO.

THE ACCOUNT BOOK LISTS OFFICERS

WHO WERE ON MARINO'S PAYROLL.

BY HER OWN ADMISSION,

JANICE LICALSI WAS WORKING FOR ANGELO MARINO,

YET HER NAME DOES NOT APPEAR.

WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION?

THE INTELLIGENCE DIVISION OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT

BELIEVES PAGES HAVE BEEN TORN FROM THE LEDGER.

DO YOU KNOW HOW THAT COULD'VE HAPPENED?

NO.

HOW LONG DID YOU HAVE THE LEDGER?

TWO DAYS.

NO FOUNDATION THAT THE PAGES WERE REMOVED

DURING THAT TIME FRAME.

HE DIDN'T MAKE THAT ALLEGATION.

I'LL PUT IT MORE DIRECTLY.

DID THERE COME A POINT DURING THE LINARDI INVESTIGATION

AT WHICH YOU DISCOVERED MISS LICALSI'S COMPLICITY

IN THE MARINO MURDERS?

NO.

DID YOU NOT CONFRONT HER WITH YOUR DISCOVERY?

NO.

DID YOU NOT SUPPRESS EVIDENCE

SO SHE COULD COME FORWARD AND PUT HERSELF IN A BETTER LIGHT?

I DID NOT SUPPRESS ANY EVIDENCE

AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HER COMING FORWARD.

I WANT TO RECALL DETECTIVE KELLY FOLLOWING TESTIMONY

FROM A SUBSEQUENT WITNESS.

NOTHING MORE AT THIS TIME.

SHE CAME FORWARD ON HER OWN.

STAND DOWN.

YOU'RE TO BE AVAILABLE FOR RECALL.

DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'LL BE BACK?

I'M ON A FIRING RANGE.

AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO QUALIFY.

ARE YOU SURE I CAN'T GET YOU ANYTHING?

NO, THANK YOU.

HERE'S THE DETECTIVE.

HOW YOU DOING, MRS. CARLIN?

ANDY.

YEAH.

I'D LIKE TO GET MY HUSBAND RELEASED.

HERE. STEP OVER TO MY DESK.

HE'S MISSING WORK, AND I'D LIKE YOU TO GET HIM OUT.

THE CHARGE CAN'T BE DROPPED TILL THE HEARING TOMORROW.

I'M NOT GOING TO PRESS THE CHARGES,

AND HE'S IN JAIL, AND HE'S GETTING REALLY ANGRY.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

WHAT?

COME HERE WITH ME. ANYBODY?

COME ON IN HERE.

COME HERE.

TAKE OFF YOUR GLASSES.

JUST TAKE THEM OFF.

HERE.

TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF.

CAN JUST ABOUT SEE YOU UNDER THOSE BRUISES.

HE'LL LEARN THIS TIME.

THIS TIME HE WENT TO JAIL.

YOU'RE KIDDING YOURSELF.

IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THIS COMPLAINT OUT,

YOUR HUSBAND'S NOT GOING TO LEARN ANYTHING.

HE'S GOING TO GET RELEASED FROM RIKER'S.

HE'S GOING TO BLAME YOU FOR THE TWO DAYS HE SPENT INSIDE

AND PROBABLY GIVE YOU THE WORST BEATING YOU EVER HAD.

DID YOU CALL ANY OF THOSE NUMBERS I GAVE YOU?

I CAN'T MOVE OUT.

HE PAYS ON MY MOTHER AT THE AGE FACILITY

AND SOME OF HER MEDICINE.

YOU CAN'T WORK?

I LOOK AFTER HER EVERY DAY.

I'M GOING TO MAKE SOME CALLS.

I'LL MEET YOU AT THE HEARING TOMORROW.

YOU CAN'T GET HIM OUT NOW?

NO.

NO.

CAN I PLEASE HAVE MY SUNGLASSES BACK?

YEAH.

THANKS.

HERE. THIS WAY.

I'LL SEE YOU AT THE HEARING.

HEY. HOW'D IT GO?

PEACHY.

ABRAMS COME AFTER YOU?

YEAH. BIG‐TIME.

MAKING IT LOOK LIKE LICALSI CONFESSED

BECAUSE I FOUND OUT.

I HATE THAT FAT PRICK WITH HIS WIMPY BEARD.

RICHIE'S BIMBO IS GOING TO TESTIFY ON THE MARINO LEDGERS.

YOU SHOULD'VE DONE WITH THAT LEDGER

WHAT NIXON SHOULD'VE DONE WITH THE TAPES.

ANOTHER SMACK DEALER GOT ROBBED.

LET'S RUSH RIGHT OVER.

JOHN, I.A.B. IS LOOKING AT YOU.

THEY HAD A GUY ON ME AT COURT.

I GOT THE MESSAGE.

NO MISTAKES.

WHERE'D YOU GET THAT EYE, SON?

A COUPLE GUYS RAN OUT THAT DOOR YESTERDAY

WHEN ALEX WAS COMING UP, PUSHED HIM DOWNSTAIRS.

THEY ROBBED THE GUY IN THIS APARTMENT?

I THINK SO.

THINK HE'S DEALING DRUGS?

I WOULDN'T KNOW. I DON'T WANT TROUBLE.

COME ON, SON.

YEAH?

NEW YORK CITY DETECTIVES, MR. RAMOS.

[SPANISH RADIO PLAYS]

WANT TO OPEN UP, PLEASE?

CAN WE TALK TO YOU ABOUT GETTING ROBBED?

WHAT I GOT TO SAY I SAID TO THE UNIFORMS ALREADY.

COUPLE GUYS I DIDN'T SEE

CAME IN, CUFFED MY ANKLE TO THE RADIATOR,

TOSSED THE PLACE AND LEFT.

MISTAKE, I FIGURE.

HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MAN?

YOU KNOCKED ON THE WALL. GOT THE NEIGHBOR?

HE CALLED THE COPS. I DIDN'T.

WHERE'S THE NEIGHBOR NOW?

HE GOT CHEST PAINS.

HE WENT TO THE HOSPITAL.

YOU DEALING?

NO. HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

THAT'S A PRIVATE BEDROOM BACK THERE.

THOUGHT I HEARD VOICES, SINGING.

COOPERATE, IT'LL GO EASIER ON YOU.

I TOLD YOU WHAT I KNOW.

YOU'RE NOT DEALING, SO THESE ARE THE SCALES OF JUSTICE?

THEY SAY YOU'RE A LYING TURD.

I'M ASKING YOU GUYS TO LEAVE.

WE GOTTA COUNSEL YOU HOW TO HANDLE A ROBBERY ATTEMPT

SHOULD IT HAPPEN AGAIN.

THE BEST WAY AN ASSHOLE LIKE YOU SHOULD RESPOND

IS TO SEIZE UP THE BARREL OF THE INTRUDER'S GUN IN YOUR MOUTH.

TRY TO JERK IT AWAY.

IF IT GOES OFF IN YOUR THROAT, WE'LL ARREST HIM.

REMEMBER THAT IF YOU GET ANOTHER SCALE, YOU JERK.

I DON'T MIND THEM ROBBING DRUG DEALERS,

BUT PUSHING KIDS DOWN THE STAIRS‐‐

WE SHOULD SET UP ON ONE OF THESE PLACES.

DETECTIVE KELLY, WOULD YOU COMMENT, PLEASE?

I TOLD YOU BEFORE, I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY.

THAT'S TWICE YOU STEPPED ON MY FOOT.

KELLY!

OH, BOY.

I DON'T WANT TO HASSLE YOU,

BUT YOU DON'T RETURN MY CALLS.

WHAT'S HE TRYING TO TELL YOU?

WOULD YOU GIVE US 30 SECONDS?

NORMAN.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I'D WANT TO TALK TO YOU?

YOU THINK $100,000 MIGHT CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE?

THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN CALLING ABOUT.

NOT INTERESTED.

MY PEOPLE WILL GIVE YOU 100K

FOR AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW AFTER THE TRIAL.

NOT INTERESTED.

YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED IN 100 GRAND?

IS SOMEONE PUTTING PROZAC IN YOUR GRANOLA?

NO MORE MESSAGES,

NO MORE CALLS. GOT IT?

YOU ASK ME, WHAT'S COMING OUT OF THAT COURTROOM,

YOU SHOULD START LOOKING AT NEW SOURCES OF INCOME.

SAME AS THE OTHERS. TWO GUYS HIT THE APARTMENT,

THAT LYING SACK‐OF‐CRAP DEALER

DIDN'T SEE EITHER ONE.

YOU CATCH HIM DIRTY?

NO, BUT HE'S A DEFINITE.

THEY RAN OVER SOME KID GOING DOWN THE STAIRS.

JOHN AND ME WANT TO SET UP THERE

BEFORE WE GET A HOMICIDE.

MARTINEZ POPPED A GUY FOR CRIMINAL RECEIVING IN ONE.

USE HIM IF HE FITS WHAT YOU NEED.

UM, I. A. B. WANTS THE LOG BOOKS AND ROLL CALLS

FROM THE LINARDI INVESTIGATION.

THEY'RE COMING AFTER JOHN.

THAT GIRL TESTIFY?

I DON'T THINK THEY'RE WAITING TO FIND OUT.

LIEUTENANT SAYS MARTINEZ GOT A GUY WE CAN USE

IN INTERVIEW ONE.

GOOD.

SO TALK TO HIM.

I'LL MEET YOU IN A MINUTE.

SO, HOW'S IT GOING?

I GOT YOUR MESSAGE ON AMENDING THE CARLIN COMPLAINT.

CAN WE DO THAT?

ON WHAT BASIS?

THE GUY BIT ME.

AT THAT GIN MILL, HE LEFT A FULL‐DENTAL IMPRESSION ON MY KNEE.

IS THE WIFE DROPPING THE BATTERING CHARGES?

I THINK SHE'S GOING TO DROP THEM. YEAH.

YOU WANT THE HUSBAND OFF THE STREET?

THIS GUY IS WRONG.

HE'S BEEN USING THIS WOMAN FOR A SPEED BAG.

WITH THE UNDERLYING CHARGE WITHDRAWN,

THE JUDGE WILL NEVER LET ME AMEND.

GET THE WOMAN SOME REFERRALS.

THE HUSBAND'S GOING TO WALK.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

SO HOW ARE THINGS OTHERWISE?

THEY'RE O. K.

AHEM.

I‐‐

I HOPE TO HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU SOON

ON A PERSONAL MATTER.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST SAY IT?

AT THIS POINT,

I GOT TO WAIT.

ALL RIGHT.

I HOPE IT'LL BE VERY SOON.

JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW.

EXCUSE ME.

ALL RIGHT. YOU GOT A DRUG PROBLEM, TAHIR?

MY ONLY PROBLEM'S WITH THE POLICE.

YOU DEALING NOW?

DEFINITELY NOT.

WE KNOW YOU'RE MOVING PRODUCT WITH THIS MARK.

WE FIND DRUGS IN YOUR PLACE, THAT'S AN EXTRA FELONY.

PLUS A LOST CHANCE TO HELP YOURSELF.

HOW CAN I HELP MYSELF?

YOU WANT TO COOPERATE?

THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR‐‐ A FRESH START.

BOOSTING THAT CD PLAYER WAS A MISTAKE,

BUT I DID THAT 'CAUSE I MOVED INTO A NEW PLACE.

GAVE YOURSELF A HOUSEWARMING PRESENT.

GUYS ARE ROBBING DEALERS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

TRIED ME LAST WEEK.

WE WANT TO PUT A CAMERA IN YOUR PLACE.

THAT GET THIS BEEF DROPPED?

DEPENDS.

I'M DOWN. SET IT UP.

YOU'LL BE WEARING A VEST.

WE'LL BE CLOSE BY.

THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME RISK TO YOU.

NO MORE THAN USUAL, MAN.

THAT COMES WITH THIS LIFESTYLE.

WE DON'T WANNA SEE YOU DIRTY ON THIS CAMERA, TAHIR.

ALL WE WANT IS IF YOU GET ROBBED.

COULD YOU SEE INTO THE CRAPPER?

NO.

NO CAMERA IN THE CRAPPER.

SO ANYTHING SELF‐INCRIMINATING,

THAT'D BE THE PLACE TO DO IT.

USE YOUR HEAD AND KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

I GOT A REALLY GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS.

HEY. HOW'D IT GO AT THE FIRING RANGE?

HOW'D IT GO, DONNA?

I SPENT AN HOUR EACH DIRECTION ON A BRIDGE

BUNGED UP IN TRAFFIC.

I GOT BIT BY GREENFLIES AT RODMAN'S NECK,

AND THEN I MUTILATED MY THUMB

ADJUSTING TO THE SLIDE ACTION ON THE 9 mm WEAPON.

GREG, STOP A MINUTE AND TALK TO ME.

WHAT'S THE POINT?

THE POINT IS...

TO STOP AND TALK.

EVER SINCE THESE SETTLEMENT MEETINGS WITH YOUR WIFE,

IT'S LIKE YOU'RE IN ANOTHER SOLAR SYSTEM.

YEAH, WELL, SO LONG FROM PLANET MEDAVOY.

GREGORY?

IT'S USELESS, DONNA.

IT'S HOPELESS AND USELESS AND A WASTE OF YOUR TIME.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

15th SQUAD.

YEAH.

JAMES SINCLAIR, DETECTIVE.

AND ROBIN SAID SHE'D MEET YOU AT THE JIVE BAR.

KELLY.

MM‐HMM.

O.K. I'LL SEE YOU IN THE MORNING. RIGHT.

THANKS A LOT.

YEAH.

I'M GOING BACK TOMORROW.

GUESS THIS GIRL JAMMED ME UP.

SHE SAY WHAT SHE SAW?

I DON'T CARE WHAT SHE SAID SHE SAW,

SHE WASN'T THERE. SHE'S LYING.

PROBABLY WENT TO ABRAMS LOOKING TO EARN WITH SOMETHING

HER DEAD BOYFRIEND TOLD HER.

HE GIVES HER A COURSE IN THE HEARSAY RULE,

AND HER MEMORY GETS VIVID, HUH?

LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE UP.

YEAH. I GOTTA TALK TO THIS GUY.

O.K. WE'LL TALK LATER?

CALL ME TONIGHT IF YOU WANT.

YEAH. THANKS.

HEY, DAN.

A DIFFERENT JOB NOW.

HISPANIC FELLAS,

WOMEN.

AND A PUFF OF SMOKE, A WORKING LIEUTENANT.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR CALL.

DID YOU SPEAK TO HER TODAY?

YOU SAID DON'T UNTIL YOU CALLED.

I HAD SECOND THOUGHTS.

I DON'T WANT YOU ASKING HER OUT TODAY.

DAN, YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY.

WHO'S THE BOSS?

WITH 18 YEARS OF SOBRIETY?

WHO DID YOU ASK TO BE YOUR SPONSOR?

YOU'VE BEEN A BIG HELP,

BUT I DISAGREE WITH YOU ON THIS.

IT'S MY DECISION TO GIVE THIS MORE THOUGHT.

I'M NOT RISKING YOUR PROGRESS.

WHEN CAN I ASK HER OUT?

I DON'T KNOW! YOU'LL WEAR ON YOURSELF WITH YOUR IMPATIENCE.

THAT'S IT?

REMEMBER, G. R. I. P.

GROWTH, RESOLUTION,

INTENTION,

PURPOSE.

WE'LL SPEAK SOON.

AH.

GRIP THIS.

[MAN ON TV] THE SO‐CALLED BLUE MURDER TRIAL

OF FORMER POLICE OFFICER JANICE LICALSI.

AFTERNOON TESTIMONY

SUPPORTED THE PROSECUTION'S CONTENTION

THAT DETECTIVE JOHN KELLY

HAD KNOWN OF HIS LOVER'S INVOLVEMENT

WITH ORGANIZED CRIME.

GINA ZARONE, SHOWN LEAVING THE CENTER STREET COURTHOUSE,

STATED THAT SHE HAD SEEN KELLY...

HARRY, ANOTHER ONE FOR THE GENTLEMAN DOWN THERE.

A SOLDIER IN THE MARINO CRIME FAMILY,

AT WHICH LICALSI WAS SHOWN XEROXES

OF THE CONTROVERSIAL MARINO DIARY.

ANOTHER ONE? NO, THANKS.

YOU SURE?

YEAH. THANKS.

AS A SURPRISE WITNESS ON THE GROUNDS

THAT HER LIFE HAD BEEN THREATENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS...

MIND IF I SAY THAT I RECOGNIZE YOU?

I'M NOT LOOKING FOR CONVERSATION.

SORRY.

HEY, JOHNNY.

ABSOLUTELY NEW YORK'S FINEST.

THAT'S NO PROBLEM.

THIS GIRL SHOOT ANYBODY YET?

HUH?

HEY, WHY DON'T YOU GO SIT

AND TALK TO YOUR NEW FRIEND?

YOU'VE HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK. TAKE IT OUTSIDE.

HEY, THIS AIN'T RWANDA, PAL.

THE HELL WITH YOU, JERRY.

THIS ISN'T A POLICE STATE YET. HEY!

AH!

AH!

YOU'RE A LIAR UP THERE.

HOPE THAT BITCH GETS LIFE,

AND THEY KICK YOUR ASS OFF THE FORCE.

DON'T COME BACK.

O.K.?

YEAH.

HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

O.K.

LAST FIVE DAYS HAVE BEEN O. K.

YEAH. BEEN A LITTLE HECTIC.

SO HOW IS SHE DOING?

HOW'S WHO DOING?

WHO? HILLARY CLINTON, WHO.

SHE'S DOING O. K.

SHE JUST WANTS THIS PART OF IT OVER.

SHE WANTS TO GET SENTENCED.

LET'S GET SOME MENUS. COULD WE...

THANK YOU.

I STILL HAVE FEELINGS FOR HER.

JANICE LICALSI.

YEAH.

YEAH, I GUESS YOU DO.

HAVE YOU, UH...

HAVE YOU BEEN SEEING HER?

I SAW HER LAST NIGHT.

YOU SLEEP WITH HER?

NO.

NO. IT'S JUST‐‐

IT'S LIKE A MESS, AND SHE'S GOING TO JAIL...

LET ME JUST ASK YOU A QUESTION, JOHNNY.

WHEN A PERSON'S IN TROUBLE,

YOU GET VERY PROTECTIVE.

AND‐‐LET ME JUST ASK YOU‐‐

WHEN YOU SAY FEELINGS,

COULD IT BE THOSE OR, UM‐‐

NO.

I HAVE FEELINGS FOR HER.

I GUESS WE OUGHT TO STOP SEEING EACH OTHER.

I'M SORRY.

HEY, WE WERE FRIENDS BEFORE.

WE'RE STILL GOING TO BE FRIENDS, O. K.?

YOU LOVE WHO YOU LOVE.

I'M NOT... I'M NOT HUNGRY.

YEAH.

LET ME GET YOU‐‐

PLEASE, I CAN GET HOME.

I'LL CALL YOU.

O.K.

THIS IS THE GENTLEMAN, LIEUTENANT.

ARE YOU JOHN KELLY'S SUPERIOR?

YEAH. HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

MY NAME IS TIMOTHY MILLER,

AND I'D LIKE TO FILE AN ASSAULT COMPLAINT AGAINST MR. KELLY.

LET'S GO TO MY OFFICE.

ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE INCIDENT?

TELL ME YOUR SIDE OF IT.

I'M HAVING A BEER. I RECOGNIZE HIM FROM TV.

I SAY HI.

HE GETS HYSTERICAL ABOUT HIS PRIVACY.

NEXT THING, I GET THE BRASS KNUCKLES IN THE SOLAR PLEXUS.

I'M STILL BRINGING UP BILE.

SO, YOU WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT?

HELL, YES!

AND MAYBE A LAWSUIT.

I'LL GET A DETECTIVE TO TAKE THE INFORMATION,

BUT KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK REAL HARD AT YOUR STORY.

THE BRASS KNUCKLES DON'T SOUND RIGHT.

THE UNPROVOKED ASSAULT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT EITHER.

ARE YOU SURE YOU WEREN'T DRUNK AND MOUTHING OFF

AND MAYBE HE HELPED YOU OUTSIDE?

SO THIS IS HOW IT WORKS.

THE BIG BLUE WALL.

HOW IT WORKS IS YOU FILE A COMPLAINT.

THEN WE ASK DETECTIVE KELLY

IF HE WANTS A CROSS‐COMPLAINT.

THEN WE GET STATEMENTS FROM ANY WITNESSES

ABOUT WHO PROVOKED THE INCIDENT.

THEN WE DECIDE WHO GETS LOCKED UP.

SHALL I CALL A DETECTIVE?

I WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE ARE WORKING FOR YOU.

I KNOW WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE I HAVE WORKING FOR ME.

THINK YOU CAN FIND YOUR WAY OUT?

HOW LONG A WAITING LIST?

FORGET ABOUT THE HOMELESS SHELTER.

SHE'D JUST HAVE SIX PEOPLE HITTING HER INSTEAD OF ONE.

ALL RIGHT. YEAH. THANKS, ANYWAYS.

HEY, JOHN.

COME HERE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

SOME GUY WAS JUST IN HERE,

SAYING YOU BEAT HIM UP IN A BAR FIGHT.

THIS GUY WAS MOUTHING OFF TO ME.

I ASKED HIM TO LEAVE THE BAR.

HE THREW AN ELBOW AT ME, SO I HELPED HIM.

THEN YOU BEAT HIM UP?

I MOVED HIM OUTSIDE.

HE FILE A COMPLAINT?

NO.

HOW'D THAT HAPPEN?

YOU ALL RIGHT, JOHN?

YEAH.

WHAT TIME YOU TESTIFY?

I SEE SINCLAIR IN HALF AN HOUR.

ALL RIGHT.

WHY DON'T YOU STAY AROUND HERE UNTIL THEN?

WON'T GET IN ANY JACKPOTS IN HERE, WILL YOU?

I DON'T THINK SO.

ALL RIGHT.

DETECTIVE.

HEY.

DO YOU HAVE A DECISION FOR ME YET?

YOU AND I ARE GOING TO HAVE A CONTRACT.

ANY SLACKENING IN YOUR PROGRAM,

ANY LOSING FOCUS, I'M GOING TO STEP IN.

ARE WE CLEAR ON THAT?

WE'RE CLEAR.

AS LONG AS WE HAVE THAT CONTRACT,

YOU CAN ASK HER OUT.

LISTEN, SEEING SYLVIA, IT'S NOT GOING TO GET IN THE WAY.

IT'S GOING TO BE HELPFUL.

WE'LL SEE.

YOU GOING TO WEAR THAT TIE WHEN YOU ASK HER OUT?

YEAH.

THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT NECKWEAR.

I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER TIE WITH ME.

EXCUSE ME.

HEY, I NEED TO TALK WITH YOU AND JOHN.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

JAMES MARTINEZ.

DAN BREEN, JAMES MARTINEZ.

HOW DO YOU DO?

DAN USED TO BE ON THE JOB.

HOW TALL ARE YOU, MARTINEZ?

ALMOST 5'8".

WHEN I CAME ON, YOU HAD TO BE 5'10".

YEAH. GLAD THEY LIFTED THAT REGULATION.

FELLAS USED TO TRY ALL SORTS OF RIGS.

WEIGHTS AROUND THE FEET, AND SO FORTH,

TRYING TO MAKE THE LIMIT.

IS THAT SO?

LISTEN, DAN, I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED.

O.K. GOOD TO MEET YOU, MARTINEZ.

SAME HERE.

NO. I DO NOT WANT TO PROLONG THE NEGOTIATIONS.

NO.

NO! GOOD‐BYE!

YOU'RE RUBBING YOUR EARS A LOT.

I THINK I GOT FUNGUS ON IT

AT THE FIRING RANGE YESTERDAY.

CAN YOU GET A FUNGUS THAT FAST?

EVIDENTLY.

THOUSANDS OF MEN WEAR THOSE EAR PROTECTORS.

BESIDES, I DON'T KNOW WHY FANCY PICKED ME TO QUALIFY ANYWAY.

I THOUGHT EVERYONE HAS TO.

I MEAN, BUT HE PICKED ME FIRST.

DO YOU WANT MY OPINION ON SOMETHING, GREGORY?

WHAT?

YOU'RE RESISTING NEW EXPERIENCE.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE END OF YOUR MARRIAGE.

I'M TALKING ABOUT ETHAN COHEN'S GRIEF AND RECOVERY.

IT'S AN EMOTIONAL HANDBOOK FOR DIVORCE.

IT SAYS, WHEN A MARRIAGE BREAKS UP,

THE COUPLES MOURN,

THEY RESIST NEW EXPERIENCE, AND THEY HAVE A GENERAL SOUR OUTLOOK.

MY SOUR OUTLOOK'S

BECAUSE I'M GETTING SCREWED

IN THESE SETTLEMENT HEARINGS.

ETHAN COHEN SAYS TO RELAX AND LET YOUR SITUATION UNFOLD.

I'M GETTING DISMANTLED

POSSESSION BY POSSESSION...

DOLLAR BY DOLLAR.

THIS, TOO, SHALL PASS, GREGORY.

THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS, TO KEEP REMINDING YOURSELF.

DO YOU WANT TO HEAR MY PLAN TO HELP THAT HAPPEN?

WHAT?

THIS SUNDAY,

WE GO TO MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,

WE WATCH THE RANGERS SKATE ONTO THE ICE,

WE LIFT OUR EYES TO THE RAFTERS,

AND WE GAZE UPON THE STANLEY CUP BANNER,

HANGING IN ALL ITS CHAMPIONSHIP SPLENDOR.

GREGORY,

IF THAT DOESN'T TELL YOU DREAMS CAN COME TRUE

AND THE FUTURE CAN BE WHAT YOU MAKE IT,

YOU HAVEN'T GOT A HEART IN YOUR CHEST.

I GOT A HEART.

AND I GOT BLUE SEATS.

THIS IS FROM LAST NIGHT.

THIS IS TAHIR.

ME IN THE DEPARTMENT... PERMANENT.

I WOULDN'T HAVE TO GO TO THE ACADEMY OR NOTHING,

'CAUSE I CAN HANDLE A PIECE ALREADY,

THROW DOWN WITH ANYONE.

NICE UNIFORM...

AND I'M SMOOTH.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT, JAMES?

WHO IS IT?

SHAKEEM, MAN.

HERE'S THE OTHER GUY.

OPEN THE DOOR.

LOOK AT THIS.

I'M BUBBLIN' IN IT NOW.

JUST TOOK OFF TWO DUDES OVER ON HUDSON.

SOME TOURISTS! GOT ME $500!

LOOKIT HERE, MAN.

I WANT YOU TO LET ME GET A COUPLE OF EIGHTBALLS.

LET'S GO IN THE CAN.

I AIN'T GOING TO THE CAN.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT.

SHAKEEM, FOR YOUR OWN GOOD...

DO I GRAB SHAKEEM FOR THE ROBBERY BEFORE SURVEILLANCE IS OVER?

CAN YOU FIND HIM?

YEAH. TAHIR GAVE UP HIS USUAL PLACES.

IF THEY FILED A COMPLAINT,

THEN THE VICTIM I. D. s SHAKEEM OFF A PHOTO ARRAY,

YOU GRAB HIM OFF THAT.

IF HE DOESN'T PICK THE PHOTO,

THEN YOU HOLD THE POP TILL SURVEILLANCE FOLDS.

WE'LL WATCH THE APARTMENT TONIGHT.

O.K. THANKS.

TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,

TAHIR IS MORE LIKE AN F.B.I. CANDIDATE.

THERE HE IS!

[SHOUTING QUESTIONS]

HAVE YOU MET MY CO‐COUNSEL?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

THIS IS NOT GOOD, JOHNNY.

IF D. A. ABRAMS HADN'T GOTTEN AN ETHICAL SHIVER,

JANICE WOULD'VE BARGAINED HERSELF INTO A SIX‐YEAR BID.

I DON'T WANT YOU TESTIFYING ANYMORE.

SHE CALLED THE D.A. BEHIND MY BACK,

SAID SHE'D TAKE SIX ON A PLEA.

JANICE.

GINA ZARONE CAN PUT YOU IN JAIL.

GINA ZARONE IS A HALF‐WHORE,

WHOSE CREDIBILITY I'M GOING TO DESTROY

BEFORE JOHN GETS ON THE STAND.

I WANT YOU TO FORGET ABOUT GINA ZARONE,

TRUST IN JOHN KELLY,

AND LET ME DO MY JOB,

WHICH RIGHT NOW IS PREPARING HIM FOR CROSS.

NOW, PLEASE EXCUSE US.

I'LL DO THE SIX.

YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT.

EXCUSE US, JANICE.

CLIENTS WITH A CONSCIENCE MAKE FOR COMPLICATED LAWYERING.

YOU CAN DO BETTER FOR HER, CAN'T YOU?

I'M GOING TO BE CANDID.

ABRAMS GOT WHAT HE NEEDED FROM THAT GIRL.

HE'S POSITIONED YOU FINDING OUT WHAT JANICE DID

AND MAKING HER COME FORWARD.

OFF THAT...

HE'S GOING TO PROJECT AN EFFORT TO CONCEAL

INTO EVERY ACTION JANICE TOOK

BEFORE AND AFTER THE SHOOTINGS.

HE'S COUNTING ON YOU TO DENY YOU WITNESSED THE MEETING.

THAT PROTECTS YOUR LEGAL POSITION,

BUT IT LEAVES JANICE HANGING.

I'M NOT GOING TO TRY TO PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH.

I NEVER ASKED WHAT YOU SAW OR DIDN'T SEE,

WHAT YOU KNEW OR DIDN'T KNOW.

ALL I'M SAYING IS WHEN JANICE WALKS ONTO THAT WITNESS STAND,

I NEED THOSE 12 PEOPLE BACK

BELIEVING SHE MADE A FREE CONFESSION.

THAT'S THE TRUTH.

THE TRUTH AND A TRIAL

HAVE AS MUCH TO DO WITH EACH OTHER

AS A HOT DOG AND A WARM PUPPY.

I'M ASKING, CAN YOU SELL THE STORY?

YEAH.

HERE WE GO.

DETECTIVE KELLY, I DRAW YOUR ATTENTION

TO THE MEETING LAST DECEMBER 14th

AT WHICH JANICE LICALSI WAS SHOWN PAGES

FROM THE MARINO LEDGER.

I ASK WHETHER YOU WITNESSED THAT MEETING.

YES, I DID.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU WITNESSED THE MEETING

ON THE STEPS OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

BETWEEN MISS LICALSI AND RICHARD CATENA?

I WITNESSED THE MEETING FROM ABOUT 200 FEET AWAY.

I SAW NO DOCUMENTS BEING PASSED.

HOW DID YOU HAPPEN TO BE PRESENT?

JANICE HAD RECEIVED A PHONE CALL AT THE STATION HOUSE.

SHE SAID SHE HAD TO MEET SOMEONE.

SHE SEEMED UPSET. I FOLLOWED HER.

SINCE YOU'VE DENIED ANY SUSPICION OF MISS LICALSI,

I ASSUME AFTER SEEING HER CONVERSE WITH A KNOWN CRIMINAL,

YOUR CONCERNS WERE ASSUAGED.

WHEN SHE RETURNED TO THE STATION,

I CONFRONTED HER. SHE SAID TOMMY LINARDI

HAD APPROACHED HER A COUPLE DAYS EARLIER.

SHE REPORTED THIS TO THE ORGANIZED CRIME UNIT

AND WAS TOLD TO COOPERATE

AND INFORM THEM WHAT SHE'D BEEN ASKED TO DO.

IN THIS CONFRONTATION WITH MISS LICALSI,

DID YOU DISCUSS HER PRIOR CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES?

I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THEM.

DID YOU DISCUSS THE PAGES FROM THE JOURNAL?

I'VE NEVER SEEN THE PAGES.

DETECTIVE KELLY, IS IT YOUR TESTIMONY

THAT YOU FELT NO CURIOSITY

AS TO WHY MISS LICALSI HAD BEEN APPROACHED?

I THOUGHT SHE WAS APPROACHED BECAUSE HER FATHER WAS IN THEIR POCKET

UNTIL HE KILLED HIMSELF.

ALL RIGHT. NOTHING FURTHER, YOUR HONOR.

MR. SINCLAIR.

LET'S BE CLEAR, DETECTIVE KELLY.

IN THE AFTERMATH OF THIS MEETING

MR. ABRAMS HAS BEEN IN SUCH PAINS

TO ESTABLISH,

YOU DISCOVERED JANICE LICALSI

HAD BEEN ACTING ON ASSIGNMENT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

AS A CONSEQUENCE, YOU HAD NO REASON TO SUSPECT HER

OF ANY CRIMINAL ACTIVITY,

LET ALONE SPECIFIC IMPLICITY IN THE MARINO MURDERS.

THAT'S CORRECT.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, DETECTIVE,

THE SHOOTING OF ANGELO MARINO AND HIS DRIVER

WAS A CLEARED CASE. CORRECT?

ABSOLUTELY.

SOMEONE HAD CONFESSED TO THOSE MURDERS.

ALPHONSE GIARDELLA HAD CONFESSED TO THOSE MURDERS.

MR. ABRAMS HAS THEREFORE TAKEN A DAY AND A HALF

TO ESTABLISH THAT ON THE BASIS OF A MEETING

YOU SAW FROM SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET,

A MEETING WHOSE PARTICULARS YOU'D HAVE NO WAY OF DIVINING,

A MEETING YOU SUBSEQUENTLY ASCERTAINED

JANICE LICALSI HAD BEEN ASSIGNED TO ATTEND,

YOU FAILED TO CONCLUDE

THAT SHE'D COMMITTED MURDERS

SEVERAL MONTHS PREVIOUS,

MURDERS TO WHICH SOMEONE ELSE HAD PLEADED GUILTY.

[SIGH]

DETECTIVE KELLY,

DID YOU HAVE ANY CONNECTION

WITH JANICE LICALSI COMING FORWARD

AND ACKNOWLEDGING THE ACTS

FOR WHICH SHE'S NOW ON TRIAL?

THE DAY BEFORE JANICE CONFESSED,

SHE'D BEEN PROMOTED,

SO WE'D PERIODICALLY WORK TOGETHER IN THE SQUAD ROOM.

THAT DAY, SHE INITIATED A CONVERSATION,

AND SHE SAID SHE WAS UPSET ABOUT THINGS.

WAS SHE SPECIFIC?

NO, AND I FELT I WASN'T THE PERSON TO TALK TO,

SO I GAVE HER THE NAME OF MY PRIEST.

THEY HAD A CONVERSATION, THEN SHE CAME FORWARD.

AND WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION?

I WAS SURPRISED

AND SORRY BECAUSE I FELT THAT SHE WAS IN A BAD POSITION.

CRIMINALS HAD APPROACHED HER,

AND I THINK SHE WAS TRYING TO PROTECT HER FATHER.

AS FOR HER COMING FORWARD,

I BELIEVE THAT CAME DIRECTLY FROM HER CONSCIENCE,

AND I HOPED SHE'D BE ALL RIGHT.

DETECTIVE KELLY, HAVE YOU NOW DESCRIBED THE FULL EXTENT

AND CONTEXT OF YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN THESE EVENTS?

YES, I HAVE.

NOTHING FURTHER, YOUR HONOR.

HOW DO YOU FEEL YOUR TESTIMONY WENT?

I HAVE NO COMMENT.

DID THE JURY BELIEVE YOU?

TECHNIQUE AND ARTISTIC IMPRESSION.

CATCH GINA ZARONE ON MY SHOW TOMORROW.

THAT'S MONEY YOU MIGHT'VE HAD.

TWO STEPS BACKWARDS, NORMAN.

ARE YOU READY?

YEAH. MY GUY'S COMING OUT.

I'LL MEET YOU AT THE STAKEOUT.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

I DON'T KNOW.

THAT WAS GOOD.

LISTEN, SYLVIA, LET ME ASK YOU.

DID SHE DROP THE CHARGES?

SHE DROPPED THEM.

COULD YOU WAIT FOR ME FOR A SECOND?

YEAH, GREAT.

HEY. HEY.

MRS. CARLIN, LET ME TALK TO YOUR HUSBAND.

I WAS RELEASED.

I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN RELEASED.

YOU'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO ME,

OR I'LL SMASH YOUR HEAD IN.

YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

A COP.

THE OTHER NIGHT, AFTER YOU WENT TO THE BAR,

AFTER YOU WERE DONE PUNCHING YOUR WIFE OUT,

I DRAGGED YOU OUT, CATCHING CIGARETTE BUTTS IN YOUR HAIR.

YOU BIT MY KNEE WHEN I PUT YOU INTO THE CAR.

IF SOMETHING HAPPENED, I APOLOGIZE.

LOOK AT ME. YOU WANT TO WIND UP ON THE PIER?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I'M TALKING ABOUT GOING OFF THE END OF A PIER

WITH A ROCK TIED TO YOUR MIDDLE.

I'M TALKING ABOUT SUCKING WATER IN YOUR LUNGS,

AND NOBODY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU.

YOU THREATENING ME?

DO NOT BEAT THIS WOMAN AGAIN.

THIS IS A NEW START FOR US.

DO NOT BEAT HER.

MRS. CARLIN, YOU GOT THOSE NUMBERS AND MY CARD?

YES.

COME ON. LET'S GO.

HEY.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, MRS. CARLIN.

Thank you.

HI.

HI.

UM, THAT‐‐ THAT PERSONAL MATTER

THAT, UH, THAT I HAD MENTIONED,

I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ON THAT.

GO AHEAD.

AHEM.

UH, SYLVIA, IN THE FIVE MONTHS

SINCE WE'VE GONE OUT‐‐

LISTEN, I'VE TRIED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES.

I'VE GONE TO A. A.

I DID 90 MEETINGS IN 90 DAYS.

I GOT A SPONSOR.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT?

ALL RIGHT. MY SPONSOR'S A PAIN IN THE ASS, BUT HE HELPS.

I'VE BEEN GOING TO AL‐ANON.

I HOPE THAT'S NO TROUBLE.

I THINK YOU'RE WORTH TAKING SOME TROUBLE OVER.

SO ANYWAYS, UH, THESE MEETINGS,

THEY WORRY ABOUT BIG RELATIONSHIP CHANGES,

FIRST MONTHS BEING SOBER,

BUT I GOT THE O. K., SO‐‐

SO I WOULD LIKE TO RESUME SEEING YOU.

I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU OUT TO DINNER.

TONIGHT?

I GOT TO WORK WITH JOHN.

HOW ABOUT TOMORROW NIGHT?

I'D LIKE THAT.

GOOD.

I MISS WATCHING YOU MOP YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU EAT.

YEAH. I STILL DO THAT.

O.K.

O.K.

[WOMAN] I DON'T KNOW WHY.

YOU SAYING YOU SURPRISED HE LEFT.

HOW ARE YOU SURPRISED WHEN YOU DATING THE MAN'S OWN BROTHER?

IT'S A GOOD FEELING, HUH?

A HERO ON THE CITY'S PAYROLL.

YEAH, I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY?

HE'S MY BROTHER.

I GOT A JOB. I GO TO WORK.

YOU KEEP THINKING YOU TOLD YOUR LAST LIE.

YOU GET QUANDARIES I DON'T GET.

MY MOUTH IS NOT SHUT!

HE'S A BUM. HE DRINKS.

ANYWAYS, MAYBE YOU'RE DONE NOW.

DID HE TRY THAT?

HE NEVER LIED!

YOU NEVER TALKED TO ME.

YOU KNOW I.A.B. IS COMING AFTER ME.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD TILL DEATH.

REMEMBER THAT, ANNE MARIE?

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

YEAH, WHAT'S UP?

HEY. HERE WE GO.

THAT'S 20 BUCKS.

ON THE FLOOR, ASSHOLE.

WHAT'S THIS?

THOSE ARE COPS.

THOSE ARE NIGHT TOUR GUYS.

WHAT DO YOU GOT?

I GOT SOME, BUT IT AIN'T ENOUGH.

WHERE'S THE REST?

WHAT ARE THEY, POPPING HIM?

I'D SAY THERE'S A SMALL CHANCE.

THIS AIN'T EVEN A GRAND.

YOU WANT TO TALK?

THEY'RE NOT POPPING HIM.

THEY'RE TAKING HIM OFF.

SON OF A BITCH.

WAIT A MINUTE. LET THEM HOLSTER.

STUPID BASTARDS.

HERE WE GO.

WHO'S DUMB ENOUGH TO CLEAN THEM OUT

IN THE COMMISSION BUT THE 33?

POLICE!

POLICE! FACE THE WALL!

TURN AROUND!

ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE ON A JOB HERE.

SO ARE WE.

LISTEN, THIS IS A MISUNDERSTANDING.

LET'S GET ON THE RIGHT PAGE.

WE'RE ON THE RIGHT PAGE. FACE THE WALL.

WAIT. WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME JOB.

YOU SAY THAT TO ME AGAIN, AND I'LL KICK YOUR ASS.

LET'S GO.

GIVE ME A BREAK. WHO ARE WE HURTING?

SCUMS AND DRUG DEALERS.

DON'T WHINE.

I.A.B.'S WAITING IN YOUR LIEUTENANT'S OFFICE.

ANDY, BOOK THESE GUYS.

I GOT TO TALK TO FANCY.

NO ONE'S GONNA BE ABLE TO PISS IN THIS HOUSE

WITHOUT I. A. B. NEXT TO THEM.

IF YOU WERE IN MY SQUAD, I'D KICK YOUR ASS.

THIS AIN'T THE 3‐3, YOU PAIR OF TURDS.

O.K., JOHN.

LIEUTENANT RENO.

HOW DO YOU DO, LIEUTENANT?

SERGEANT MARTIN, I. A. B.

THEY'LL TAKE OVER THE INVESTIGATION.

FINE WITH ME.

YOU HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS COPS, HUH?

NO.

TWO COPS WALK IN ON A PLACE YOU SET UP,

BUT YOU HAD NO IDEA?

NO IDEA.

IF YOU WERE SETUP ON COPS,

WE SHOULD'VE BEEN NOTIFIED.

I JUST TOLD YOU WE HAD NO IDEA.

I MEAN, YOU'RE ALWAYS HOPING IT'S COPS

'CAUSE YOU LIVE TO BUST YOUR OWN.

SHUT UP, SIPOWICZ.

YOU NEED DD5'S FROM THEM?

YOU KNOW WE DO.

THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE THE NIGHT INTERVIEWING THE COLLARS THOUGH.

FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

YEAH, ALL RIGHT.

I'LL DO MINE TONIGHT. I WANT TO GET DONE WITH THIS.

GET SOME REST.

GOT A LOT TO TALK ABOUT.

I'M LIKE A BAD PENNY.

NO WAY.

YOU'RE RIGHT WHERE YOU BELONG.

COME ON INSIDE.

RIGHT WHERE YOU BELONG.
