I'LL TELL YOU WHY I THINK YOU'RE UPSET THIS WAY.

BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IN THE RIGHT THINGS.

I USED TO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.

THINK HE'S HAPPY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED?

YOU HAPPY, DETECTIVE?

I'M JUST DOING THE DD5.

I'M JUST SAYING NO ONE'S HAPPY WITH THE SITUATION.

WE JUST WANT EVERYBODY BACK ON THE SAME SIDE.

I THINK IT'S TOO LATE FOR THAT.

I DON'T HAPPEN TO THINK THAT'S TRUE.

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE, RIGHT, DETECTIVE?

JUST DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO.

HERE YOU GO.

NO.

HI.

HI.

DID YOU GET SOME SLEEP LAST NIGHT?

COUPLE HOURS.

YOU HERE FOR THEIR STATEMENTS?

ON STANDBY.

I.A.B. GUYS STILL THINK THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE SOME NAMES.

THEN THEY'RE GOING OVER TO THE SWITCHING YARD

AND ROOT FOR A TRAIN WRECK.

ON DINNER, I WAS THINKING GEORGETTI'S.

FINE.

UNLESS YOU THINK SOMEPLACE ELSE.

NO. GEORGETTI'S IS GOOD.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

ME, TOO.

MORNING, JOHN.

GOOD MORNING, ANDY.

SEE YA. YEAH.

I'VE GOT NO PLACE TO WORK.

OH, THEY'LL NEED OUR DESKS

FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE ANALYZING FILES.

THEY'RE GOING TO START WITH WORLD WAR II.

DID YOU GET YOUR 5 IN?

LAST NIGHT.

UH, JOHN, WHEN THEY WERE DONE ON THE BUST,

THEY GOT ONTO YOU AND LICALSI.

MARINO LEDGER.

UH‐HUH. STUFF LIKE, "IF IT'S MEDAVOY'S CASE,

HOW COME YOU HELD THE LEDGER?"

GOT ME IN THEIR CROSS HAIRS.

I NEED YOUR STATEMENT, JOHN.

I DON'T HAVE A PLACE TO TYPE ONE.

I'LL TAKE AN ORAL STATEMENT, IF YOU WANT.

NO, THANKS.

OUR PROBLEM IS YOUR FAILURE TO NOTIFY.

I'M SAYING THIS ONE MORE TIME.

WE DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE COPS.

DON'T SEE YOU SETTING UP

BECAUSE SOME DEALER GOT ROBBED.

WE SET UP BECAUSE CIVILIANS WERE GETTING HURT.

WHAT WERE WE DOING, BRIGHAM?

WERE WE RUNNING A SHAKEDOWN,

LOOKING TO BUST THOSE COPS

TO CUT OURSELVES IN?

YOU CALLING US DIRTY?

WHY DON'T YOU GET THE BALLS TO SAY IT?

I'LL TELL YOU THIS MUCH.

IF YOU WEREN'T DIRTY, PRAY THESES GUYS FLIP

BECAUSE YOU GOT DICK‐FIST OFF FAILURE TO NOTIFY.

I GOT DICK‐FIST, HUH?

WE GOT A HOMICIDE.

COME ON.

LET'S GO DO OUR JOB. COME ON, ANDY.

WE'LL BE HERE.

IF I GOT DICK‐FIST, BRIGHAM,

MY FIST LOOKS LIKE YOUR FACE.

THANK YOU.

MINE'S BEEN DEAD A GOOD EIGHT HOURS.

SEE ON THIS ONE'S HANDS? DEFENSE WOUNDS.

HE WAS TRYING TO PROTECT HIMSELF,

COVER HIS FACE.

MIGHT HAVE A PRINT ON THE INSIDE OF THE LAMP SHADE.

WE GOT A BLOOD TRAIL OUT HERE.

COME ON.

THERE'S SOME.

COME ON, ASSHOLE. WALK INTO AN APARTMENT.

NO. HE'S GOING RIGHT OUT THE FIRE ESCAPE.

HERE.

CUT ON HIS RIGHT HAND.

SEE THE BLOOD ON THE HANDRAIL?

OH, YEAH.

HERE WE GO.

ANDY, YOU AND JOHN ARE WITH THOSE BUSTED COPS, HUH?

YEAH. WATCH YOURSELF.

THERE'S BLOOD ALL ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

SO, LISTEN, UH...

IN REFERENCE TO JOHN, UH...

WAS I. A. B. LOOKING AT HIM

IN ANY OTHER REFERENCE?

COME ON, DO BETTER, MEDAVOY.

HERE. HERE'S HIS TRAIL AGAIN.

[GLASS BREAKS]

WELL, I GUESS WHAT I WAS WONDERING WAS

ARE THEY LOOKING AT JOHN

IN CONNECTION WITH LINARDI?

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, WHERE IT WAS MY CASE,

WHY DIDN'T I HAVE THE LEDGER?

WHY DIDN'T I GET IT THOSE TWO DAYS?

MY IMPRESSION, ONE THING AND ANOTHER,

IT GOT TURNED IN A LITTLE LATE.

RIGHT. YEAH. THAT'S RIGHT.

ONE THING AND ANOTHER,

I JUST NEVER GOT AROUND TO VOUCHERING IT.

NEVER GOT AROUND TO ASKING HIM FOR IT.

WHEN YOU'RE WORKING A CASE, THE PAPERWORK'S ALWAYS LAST.

YEAH, EXACTLY.

WELL, BLOOD ENDS HERE.

HE MUST HAVE DROVE OFF

OR GOT INTO A CAB.

LET'S GET WORD TO THE E. R. s‐‐

ANY WALK‐INS TREATED FOR KNIFE WOUNDS

IN THE LAST 12 HOURS.

MAKE SURE YOU GET A SAMPLE OF THIS BLOOD.

YEAH, I GOT IT.

THERE'S SOME INSIDE HERE, TOO.

STAY BACK.

WHY? WHAT'S GOING ON?

SORRY, MA'AM.

I WANT TO GO UPSTAIRS AND MIND MY BUSINESS.

I'M SORRY.

EXCUSE ME. DO YOU LIVE HERE?

MY COUSIN LIVES HERE. I WAS BABY‐SITTING HER KIDS.

WHO'S YOUR COUSIN?

BARBARA KANE, 344.

CAN I TALK TO YOU FOR A SECOND?

KIDS, LET ME TALK TO YOUR COUSIN.

MEDAVOY, GIVE ME A HAND HERE.

WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, I JUST WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

LET'S GO OVER HERE.

UH...

LISTEN, THERE'S...

THERE'S NO EASY WAY FOR ME TO TELL YOU THIS.

SOMETHING HAPPENED IN THERE,

AND YOUR COUSIN GOT MURDERED.

OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD.

YOU TRY TO PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER IF YOU CAN.

PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER FOR THE LITTLE ONES.

TANYA, WHERE'S MY MOMMY?

UM, SHE'S UPSTAIRS, BABY.

UM, SON, LISTEN.

WHY DON'T YOU COME OVER HERE WITH ME?

MEDAVOY, LOOK AFTER HER FOR A SECOND.

COME HERE, BOYS.

LISTEN, MY NAME IS ANDY SIPOWICZ,

AND, WELL, I JUST WANT TO TALK TO YOU FOR A SECOND.

MISS LICALSI, TELL US WHAT HAPPENED

WHEN YOU MET ANGELO MARINO THAT NIGHT.

WE WERE IN THE BACK OF HIS CAR.

HE ASKED ME WHY I HADN'T OBEYED HIS INSTRUCTIONS.

AND WHAT WERE THOSE INSTRUCTIONS?

TO KILL DETECTIVE JOHN KELLY.

AND WHAT WAS YOUR REPLY?

I SAID I WAS WORKING ON IT.

AND WHAT WAS MR. MARINO'S REACTION?

HE WAS INFURIATED.

HE SAID I WAS IN LOVE WITH JOHN KELLY.

AND WAS THAT THE TRUTH?

YES.

WHAT, IF ANYTHING,

DID YOU THINK MARINO WOULD DO AT THAT MOMENT?

I WAS AFRAID HE'D KILL ME

AND THEN LATER KILL DETECTIVE KELLY.

DID YOU BELIEVE MR. MARINO AND HIS BODYGUARD

TO BE ARMED?

I KNEW TONY, HIS DRIVER, CARRIED A .38 REVOLVER,

AND ANGELO MARINO USUALLY CARRIED

A .45 CALIBER AUTOMATIC

IN THE POUCH BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT.

KNOWING THEM TO BE ARMED

AND FEARING IT WAS MR. MARINO'S INTENTION TO KILL YOU,

HOW DID YOU REACT?

I PANICKED.

I DREW MY OFF‐DUTY WEAPON,

AND I SHOT BOTH MEN.

WOULD IT BE FAIR TO SAY

THIS WAS A SPONTANEOUS ACT

BORN OF PANIC AND FEAR?

YES.

AS YOU KNOW, SOMEONE ELSE,

ALFONSE GIARDELLA,

CONFESSED TO THESE SHOOTINGS.

IN EFFECT,

YOU GOT AWAY WITH WHAT YOU DID.

WHAT PROMPTED YOU TO COME FORWARD?

I COULDN'T LIVE WITH MYSELF ANYMORE.

WERE YOU COUNSELED BY ANYONE TO COME FORWARD?

A PRIEST, FATHER JERRY DOWNEY.

HOW DID YOU COME INTO CONTACT WITH FATHER DOWNEY?

HE'S JOHN KELLY'S PARISH PRIEST.

I'D ASKED JOHN IF HE KNEW SOMEONE I COULD TALK TO.

WAS GIVING YOU THE NAME OF HIS PRIEST

JOHN KELLY'S ONLY CONNECTION

WITH YOUR DECISION TO CONFESS?

YES. JOHN KELLY NEVER KNEW ABOUT ANY OF THIS.

NOTHING FURTHER, YOUR HONOR.

MISS LICALSI, YOU'VE STATED THAT SIX DAYS ELAPSED

BETWEEN ANGELO MARINO'S ORDERING YOU TO KILL JOHN KELLY

AND THE TIME YOU KILLED MARINO AND HIS DRIVER.

THAT'S RIGHT.

DURING THAT PERIOD,

SINCE YOU WERE DIRECTLY DISOBEYING HIS ORDERS,

DID IT OCCUR TO YOU

THAT THE NEXT TIME YOU SAW MARINO

YOU MIGHT BE IN DANGER YOURSELF?

I WAS WORRIED, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN.

YOU KNEW THE TASK WAS IMPORTANT TO HIM,

AND YOU KNEW HIS REPUTATION.

YES.

WHEN YOU WERE SUMMONED TO THE MEETING

AT WHICH YOU KNEW YOU'D HAVE TO CONFRONT HIM,

YOU RECALL HOW MUCH NOTICE YOU WERE GIVEN?

A FEW HOURS.

AND DURING THOSE HOURS, MISS LICALSI,

AS YOU ANTICIPATED THE MEETING

WITH A VIOLENT AND DANGEROUS MAN,

WHO BY YOUR OWN ACCOUNT

HAD TURNED YOUR LIFE UPSIDE DOWN

AND WAS THREATENING TO DESTROY IT,

IS IT YOUR TESTIMONY YOU NEVER CONSIDERED THE ACT

THAT COULD SOLVE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS,

SAVE THE LIFE OF THE MAN YOU LOVED,

AND EXTRICATE YOURSELF FROM DANGER?

I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT SHOOTING MARINO UNTIL I WAS IN THE CAR.

HOW COULD THIS SENSE OF DANGER COME TO YOU

AS A SUDDEN REVELATION?

YOU WERE AN EXPERIENCED POLICE OFFICER.

YOU HAD SUCCESSFULLY CONDUCTED A LIFE OF DUPLICITY

FOR MONTHS ON END AND MONTHS TO COME.

WAS IT ONLY DURING THESE FEW HOURS

THAT YOUR CAPACITY FOR PLANNING AND FORETHOUGHT ESCAPED YOU?

I'M NOT PRETENDING MY BEHAVIOR MADE SENSE.

THERE'S HARD LOGIC TO YOUR BEHAVIOR.

WHAT YOU DID IN THAT CAR

MAKES THE COLDEST KIND OF SENSE.

IS THERE A QUESTION IN THERE, YOUR HONOR?

MISS LICALSI, AS SOMEONE WITH CONSIDERABLE PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE,

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT A WOMAN WHO SHOT AND KILLED TWO MEN

WOULD RECEIVE MORE FAVORABLE TREATMENT

IF SHE WERE TO APPEAR TO CONFESS VOLUNTARILY,

OR IF AN EX‐LOVER TURNED HER IN?

OBJECTION‐‐ IRRELEVANT.

SUSTAINED.

NOTHING FURTHER THEN, YOUR HONOR.

YOU MAY STEP DOWN, MISS LICALSI.

HERE. LET'S GO.

I GOT FANCY.

COME ON, BERNARD.

LIEUTENANT, WE'VE GOT A DOUBLE HOMICIDE‐‐

BLACK MALE AND FEMALE,

BOTH MULTIPLE STAB WOUNDS.

FOUND A PARING KNIFE AT THE CRIME SCENE,

COULD BE THE MURDER WEAPON,

ALONG WITH SOME FOIL CRACK PIPES,

TRAIL OF BLOOD TO THE STREET.

COULD HAVE USED A CAR TO GET AWAY.

PICKED UP A GUY.

TWO NEIGHBORS SAY HE WAS THREATENING THE FEMALE.

WAS THE GUY CUT?

NO, NOT ON THE HANDS.

HE SAID HE WAS WITH ANOTHER WOMAN ALL NIGHT LONG.

MEDAVOY AND MARTINEZ ARE LOOKING FOR HER NOW.

THAT'S THE THIRD DEALER

TO PICK QUINT AND GUYCE OUT OF THE LINEUPS.

YEAH.

THEY POINT THE FINGER AT ANYBODY ELSE?

THEY'RE NOT MOVING.

THEY BOTH SAY IT WAS JUST THEM.

I.A.B. MUST BE THRILLED.

THEY'RE WAITING FOR YOUR DD5.

HE'S CONDUCTING AN INTERVIEW ON A DOUBLE HOMICIDE.

I DON'T CARE IF HE'S CONDUCTING THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC.

I WANT THAT DD5.

ANDY'S GOT THE INTERVIEW.

USE DONNA'S DESK.

WE GOT A WARRANT ON YOU, BERNARD.

LOOK, I ADMIT I GOT A PROBLEM,

A TERRIBLE PROBLEM WITH CRACK.

PAROLE VIOLATION, ASSOCIATING WITH DRUG USERS.

IT PUT ME IN, IT JAMMED ME UP ON PAROLE,

BUT I HOLD A JOB, I'M NOT ROBBING,

AND I'M NOT BREAKING IN.

"THAT BITCH BARBARA TOOK MY MONEY

"AND DIDN'T BRING MY ROCK.

I'M GOING TO MESS THAT BITCH UP GOOD."

TWO DIFFERENT WITNESSES HEARD YOU SAY THAT LAST NIGHT.

WHEN I GAVE HER MY MONEY AROUND 8:00,

SHE SAY SHE'D BE RIGHT BACK.

WHEN 9:30 ROLLS AROUND, I'M MAD

'CAUSE THE BITCH WASN'T BACK.

YOU GOT ANY FRESH CUTS ON YOU, BERNARD?

NO, NOTHING. JUST SOME OLD SCARS.

I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE GAVE BARBARA MONEY.

THREE, FOUR OTHER DUDES DID, TOO.

SEE, YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND.

WHEN THE WEATHER'S O. K., THAT BUILDING IS WIDE OPEN.

IT'S LIKE ONE GREAT BIG PARTY.

PEOPLE MOVING IN AND OUT ALL NIGHT LONG.

MUSIC, REFRESHMENTS.

RIGHT. PEOPLE MOVING FROM ONE PLACE TO THE NEXT.

WHEN SHE GETS BACK RIGHT BEFORE 10:00,

I GO TO THIS OTHER WOMAN'S CRIB TO WATCH STAR TREK.

THIS IS SHAWANDA THAT NO ONE CAN FIND.

LOOK, THERE WAS THIS DUDE WITH BARBARA

WHEN SHE CAME BACK FROM COPPING, O. K.?

HE WAS WITH HER,

OR HE FOLLOWED HER. WHATEVER.

ALL I KNOW IS I DIDN'T SEE HIM BEFORE.

THIS ISN'T JEROME SHE WAS KILLED WITH?

NO. JEROME WAS INSIDE HER PLACE.

I DIDN'T KNOW THIS DUDE.

HE WASN'T FROM AROUND THE BUILDING.

ANDY, YOU GOT A SECOND?

YEAH.

YOU SIT TIGHT, BERNARD.

THIS IS SHAWANDA WILSON.

FIRST SHE SAID SHE WAS WITH THIS BERNARD,

THEN SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING.

SHAWANDA...

LISTEN, YOU KNOW ABOUT THE MURDERS

AT THE BUILDING LAST NIGHT?

DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THAT.

IF YOU WERE SMOKING SOME CRACK, GETTING HIGH,

NOBODY'S GOING TO GIVE YOU TROUBLE ABOUT THAT.

WE WANT TO FIND OUT WHO DID THOSE KILLINGS.

IT WASN'T BERNARD BECAUSE I SAW BARBARA DOWNSTAIRS

WHEN I COME TO MY DOOR TO LET BERNARD IN.

WHAT TIME WAS THAT?

ABOUT 9:30.

YOU LET HIM IN? HE STAYED WITH YOU?

HE NEVER WENT BACK OUT?

UH‐UH.

WHAT WERE YOU DOING?

FOOLING AROUND, WATCHING TV.

WHAT DID YOU WATCH?

WHY?

JUST TELL ME.

STAR TREK.

BERNARD WATCHES THE ONE WITH SPOCK.

I LIKE THE ONE WITH LeVAR.

GREAT. O. K., THANKS.

COME ON.

JOHN, THIS GUY DIDN'T DO IT.

NO CUTS.

NO, NO CUTS, AND THE BROAD HE'S BANGING

TELLS THE RIGHT STORY.

THEY WERE WATCHING THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE.

THE GUY SAID

HE SAW SOMEONE WITH THE FEMALE VICTIM DIFFERENT

FROM WHO SHE GOT CROAKED WITH.

SAID SHE CAME BACK WITH THIS GUY

AFTER SHE'D COPPED.

PICK HIM UP ON THE STREET.

I'M GOING TO MISS DINNER.

THIS IS AN INCOMPLETE STATEMENT.

HOW IS IT INCOMPLETE?

I WANT DETAIL ON WHY YOU SET UP,

WHY THIS GUY TAHIR WASN'T REGISTERED AS AN INFORMANT.

HOW COME YOU DIDN'T WANT THAT ON MY 5?

I HAVE A MURDER TO ATTEND TO.

I WILL FIX THAT WHEN I GET BACK.

YOU'RE IN COURT FLOATING CRAP ABOUT THAT LEDGER,

THEN THINK YOU'RE IN A POSITION TO DICTATE SCHEDULES?

YOU'RE GOING TO FIND OUT WHAT YOUR POSITION IS.

MEDAVOY, YOU'RE DOING AN 8‐TO‐4 TOMORROW?

UM, YES, SIR.

WHEN I. A. B.'s DONE RUNNING LINEUPS ON THESE ARRESTED OFFICERS,

MAKE YOURSELF AVAILABLE TO THEM.

IN WHAT CONNECTION?

EXCUSE ME?

IN WHAT CONNECTION WOULD I BE TALKING TO THEM?

YOU JUST MAKE YOURSELF AVAILABLE.

I.A.B. WILL TELL YOU THE CONNECTION.

MEDAVOY WILL STAND UP.

THEY WANT TO PUT HIM IN THE MIDDLE.

PEOPLE WILL RECOGNIZE ME.

NOBODY'S GOING TO RECOGNIZE YOU.

WE'RE GETTING A CAR WITH SMOKED WINDOWS.

MY COOPERATING'S GOING TO HELP OUT MY VIOLATION?

HELP US FIND THIS GUY,

IT'LL DO YOU SOME GOOD.

COME UP WITH SOMEBODY INSIDE AN HOUR,

I'LL GIVE YOU 20 BUCKS.

GIVE ME A MINUTE, JOHN.

HOW WAS THE DOCTOR'S? WHAT'D THEY SAY ABOUT YOUR HIP?

IT'S GOING, LIKE THE FENDERS ON MY DeSOTO.

WHAT DID SHE SAY ABOUT GEORGETTI'S?

SHE'S GOOD WITH THAT.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

O.K. WE'RE WORKING ON A DOUBLE HOMICIDE.

YOU GOING TO A MEETING TONIGHT?

YEAH, I'M GOING TO TRY.

THAT'S AN IMPORTANT MEETING FOR YOU.

NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR SOBRIETY.

I GOT TO TAKE THIS GUY OUT,

THEN I'M TAKING SYLVIA OUT TO DINNER,

AND I WILL TRY TO MAKE THE FRIGGIN' MEETING.

THINK THIS IS A GAME?

THINK YOU CAN TAKE A SHORTCUT?

YOU'RE STILL FOOLING YOURSELF.

YOU'RE NOT GIVING CREDIT FOR 18 YEARS OF SOBRIETY HERE.

HERE. YOU WANT A SHORTCUT?

HERE'S 10 BUCKS. SAVE YOURSELF THREE MONTHS.

GO OUT AND BUY A BOTTLE NOW.

THEY'RE GOING TO KNOW I'M WITH THE POLICE.

YOU'RE A MORON.

THESE ARE TINTED WINDOWS. THEY CAN'T SEE IN.

WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF DAYLIGHT.

I SEE CALVIN BY THE CADDY.

WHAT DOES HE GOT TO DO WITH IT?

NOTHING. I JUST KNOW HIM FROM THE JOINT.

YOU TRYING TO BUST MY BALLS?

IF YOU DON'T SEE THE GUY FROM THE BUILDING,

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SEE, SO SHUT UP.

SYLVIA COULDN'T CHANGE THE TIME?

SHE HAD TO GO TO THE 2‐5 LATER.

THIS COULDN'T WORK UNLESS WE DID IT ON TIME.

THE DINNER'S BAGGED NOW, JOHN.

DO IT ANOTHER NIGHT.

YEAH.

HOW ABOUT YOUR BUDDY?

DAN? OH, HE'S GREAT.

HE JUST STOPPED IN TO PREDICT MY DOOM.

I DON'T SEE HIM.

IF HE HAVE TO COME BACK HERE TOMORROW,

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LOCK YOU UP TONIGHT.

SO YOU MAKE THE DECISION.

I UNDERSTAND.

WELL, THAT'S BIG OF YOU.

I'M SPEAKING WITH GINA ZARONE,

FORMER GIRLFRIEND OF A SOLDIER

IN THE MARINO CRIME FAMILY.

GINA NOW LIVES WITHOUT ALLIES

IN THE NO‐MAN'S LAND BETWEEN THOSE WHO ENFORCE THE LAW

AND THOSE WHO BREAK IT.

AS WE SPEAK HERE TONIGHT,

YOU'RE IN FEAR FOR YOUR LIFE, AREN'T YOU?

YES, I AM.

YOU'RE IN FEAR OF REPRISAL

FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE LAW.

YES, I AM.

YESTERDAY GINA TESTIFIED AT THE BLUE MURDER TRIAL

OF FORMER POLICE OFFICER JANICE LICALSI.

SHE IDENTIFIED DETECTIVE JOHN KELLY

AS WITNESS TO A MEETING BETWEEN JANICE LICALSI

AND GINA'S BOYFRIEND RICHIE CATENA,

WHO HAS SINCE BEEN GRUESOMELY MURDERED.

AND SHE HAS EVEN MORE STARTLING ACCUSATIONS

SHE'S PREPARED TO SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC TONIGHT.

GINA, YOUR BOYFRIEND TOLD YOU

THAT TOMMY LINARDI, SUCCESSOR TO MARINO AS CAPO,

HAD TOLD HIM THAT MARINO HAD MORE CONTACTS

IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT

THAN THE 11 OFFICERS WHOSE NAMES HAVE BEEN REVEALED

TO THIS POINT.

THAT WAS WHAT HE TOLD ME.

AND WHAT DID YOU INFER FROM THIS

AS REGARDS JOHN KELLY?

WHEN I SAW JOHN KELLY

FOLLOWING JANICE LICALSI THAT DAY,

I PUT 2 AND 2 TOGETHER.

NOW YOU'RE AB‐‐

SHE'S GOT YOU PEGGED, JOHN.

YOU WERE IN MARINO'S POCKET ALL ALONG.

I.A.B. IS TALKING TO MEDAVOY TOMORROW.

ABOUT THE LEDGER?

YEAH.

COME HERE.

COME HERE.

WE'VE HEARD A GREAT DEAL

ABOUT THE ENORMOUS PRESSURES MISS LICALSI WAS UNDER‐‐

HER WORRIES FOR HER FATHER'S REPUTATION AND CAREER,

HER LOVE FOR DETECTIVE KELLY,

BUT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

NO ONE MADE JANICE LICALSI

GET INTO ANGELO MARINO'S CAR.

SHE HAD A CHOICE.

AS A POLICE OFFICER,

SHE KNEW SHE COULD HAVE MARINO ARRESTED.

SHE CHOSE NOT TO DO THAT.

INSTEAD, SHE BECAME

JUDGE, JURY, AND EXECUTIONER ALL IN ONE.

WHETHER JANICE LICALSI SUBSEQUENTLY CAME FORWARD OUT OF GENUINE REMORSE

OR BECAUSE HER CRIME HAD BEEN DISCOVERED BY HER LOVER

AND WAS ABOUT TO BE EXPOSED,

SHE'S NOT RELIEVED OF HER RESPONSIBILITY

FOR WHAT SHE DID THAT NIGHT.

EVEN IN OUR AGE OF PASS‐THE‐BLAME PSYCHOLOGIZING,

FEELING LIKE YOU'RE IN A TIGHT SPOT DOES NOT QUALIFY

AS EXTREME EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCE

AS DEFINED BY THE LAW.

WHEN JANICE LICALSI FIRED THOSE FIVE HOLLOW‐POINT SHELLS,

SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING‐‐

SHE WAS GETTING OUT FROM UNDER.

THE LAW DESCRIBES SUCH AN ACT

AS MURDER WITH FORETHOUGHT,

AND IT PRESCRIBES A PRICE.

IT IS YOUR DUTY NOW

TO EXACT IT.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

17 MONTHS AGO...

JANICE LICALSI BEGAN A DESPERATE ATTEMPT

TO SAVE HER FATHER'S CAREER AND REPUTATION

AND SET IN MOTION A SERIES OF EVENTS

WHICH CULMINATED IN A TERRIBLE ACT

FOR WHICH SHE'S NOW ON TRIAL.

PER THE ORDERS OF ANGELO MARINO,

WHO WAS THREATENING TO EXPOSE HER FATHER

FOR HAVING ONCE BEEN ON THE MOB PAYROLL,

JANICE LICALSI TRANSFERRED PRECINCTS.

PER MARINO'S ORDERS,

SHE SURVEILLED DETECTIVE JOHN KELLY,

SEDUCED HIM...

AND WON HIS TRUST.

THEN, AS SO OFTEN HAPPENS

IN THIS SORT OF HUMAN TRAGEDY,

FATE PLAYED A CRUEL TRICK.

JANICE LICALSI AND JOHN KELLY

FELL IN LOVE.

THEN...

SHE WAS ORDERED

TO KILL HIM.

FOR ALL HER DESIRE TO PROTECT HER FATHER,

JANICE LICALSI COULD NEVER COMMIT SUCH A REPUGNANT ACT.

DAY AFTER DAY WENT BY,

AND STILL SHE FAILED TO CARRY OUT MARINO'S ORDER.

AFTER SIX DAYS,

SHE WAS SUMMONED BY MARINO TO A MEETING

IN AN UNDERGROUND GARAGE.

SHE KNEW THE MEANING OF THE SUMMONS.

SHE KNEW THAT BY FAILING TO ACT,

SHE HAD PUT HER OWN LIFE AT RISK.

AS JANICE LICALSI ENTERED ANGELO MARINO'S CAR,

SHE WAS LIKE SOMEONE WHO'S GONE OFF A CLIFF.

AT THAT INSTANT, IN FEAR FOR HER LIFE,

JANICE LICALSI'S INSTINCTS TOOK OVER.

IN A SINGLE EXPLOSIVE AND UNTHINKING MOMENT,

SHE REACTED.

THE WOMAN YOU ARE TO JUDGE

COULD NOT BE MORE DIFFERENT

FROM THOSE WHO HIDE BEHIND THE SHIELD OF VICTIMIZATION

IN ORDER TO DENY THE MOST EGREGIOUS ACTS.

JANICE LICALSI

IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER ACTIONS.

JANICE LICALSI IS WILLING TO PAY HER DEBT TO SOCIETY.

ALL SHE ASKS IS THAT YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT

THE OBVIOUS AND UNDENIABLE PRESENCE

OF WHAT THE STATE PENAL CODE

CALLS EXTREME EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCE.

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT A WOMAN

THREATENED WITH HER FATHER'S DESTRUCTION,

THE MURDER OF HER LOVER,

AND HER OWN LIKELY DEATH

COULD POSSIBLY BE SUBJECT

TO EXTREME EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCE...

THEN I ASK YOU TO DO AS THE LAW REQUIRES.

I ASK YOU TO RETURN THE LESSER VERDICT

OF MANSLAUGHTER.

THAT'S HIM.

WHERE?

FRONT OF THAT CHECK‐CASHING PLACE.

THE GUY IN WHITE?

15 SPECIAL, 10‐85 THE SQUAD FORTHWITH.

GIVE ME YOUR HAND.

IF THIS IS YOUR MAN, I WALK, RIGHT?

LIE WITH YOUR FACE DOWN AND DON'T MOVE.

READY? YEAH.

HEY! CITIZEN IN WHITE.

ASSHOLE IN WHITE.

RIGHT THERE. YOU! POLICE.

WHAT'S UP?

HANDS ON YOUR HEAD. LET'S GO.

GET YOUR ASS AGAINST THE FENCE.

GET UP AGAINST THE FENCE!

GUN TO YOUR HEAD.

GOT A GUN, JOHN. RIGHT HERE.

HEY. HEY, YO, OFFICER, I CAN EXPLAIN, YOU KNOW.

BACK AT THE STATION HOUSE.

WE'RE FINE.

CUT ON YOUR RIGHT HAND.

WE'RE FINE.

TWO YEARS?

UH‐HUH.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS.

HIS JOBS CHECK OUT. HE'S CLEAN LAST TWO YEARS.

I LIKE HIM FOR THE MURDERS.

WILL HE GO?

HE THINKS HE'S IN HERE FOR THE GUN CHARGE.

HAVERILL'S UP MY ASS.

GET A REVISED DD5 WHEN YOU CAN.

YO, JOHN, YOU GUYS GET DEMOTED OR WHAT?

LOOK WHO'S HERE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOU GOT A MINUTE FOR ME?

I'M WORKING THIS DOUBLE HOMICIDE AND DODGING BOSSES,

BUT WE CAN TALK LATER.

I GOT TO GET BACK IN.

YEAH.

YEAH, SEE YOU LATER.

HOW'S IT GOING, ROBERTS?

HEY, LOOK, ANDY,

YOU'RE PISSED OFF, AFTER DEE‐DEE DIED,

I IGNORED HER DOG.

LET'S PUT THAT BEHIND US, O. K.?

LOOK, THEY'RE CRUCIFYING JOHN.

I GOT SOMETHING FOR HIM.

WHAT?

I'VE BEEN WORKING FOR THIS PARTY‐‐

ACTUALLY, SHE'S A MADAM.

SHE HAD ME WATCHING HER PLACE.

HER GIRL WAS GETTING HARASSED BY A FORMER PIMP.

I NEED TO PUT FOOD ON MY TABLE.

WHAT HAPPENED?

SO ME AND THE MADAM BECOME PALS.

I SIT WITH HER AT NIGHTS, CHEW THE FAT.

THEN ONE NIGHT A TRICK CALLS UP,

ASKING FOR SUZIE AND DENISE,

BREAK OUT THE TEENAGE SCHOOLGIRL OUTFITS.

NORVAL GROLSCH, ANDY.

WHO'S THAT?

NORVAL GROLSCH,

WHO TURNS OUT TO BE

NORMAN GARDNER,

WHO, BLOW‐HARD NEWSCASTER ASSHOLE THAT HE IS,

TURNS OUT HE LIKES HIS HEADMASTER ACT

ON TAPE.

NOW, I OWE JOHN.

YOU TELL HIM IF HE WANTS TO USE THIS,

HE'S WELCOME TO IT.

WELL, IF HE DOESN'T,

SOMEBODY ELSE MIGHT.

WHEN'S I.A.B. COMING FOR ME?

THIS IS LIKE THE‐‐ THE CHINESE WATER TORTURE.

TRY TO RELAX.

YEAH, SURE.

GREGORY, THIS IS GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

YOU DID NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT LEDGER.

NEITHER DID JOHN.

I‐‐I'M JUST AFRAID I'M GOING TO STAMMER.

YOU'RE GOING TO DO FINE.

YEAH, BUT IF I STAMMER,

THEY'RE GOING TO THINK I'M COVERING UP.

GREGORY, IT'S ON RECORD THAT YOU STAMMER.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

IF THEY THINK I'M COVERING UP,

IT'S GOING TO LOUSE UP JOHN.

I DON'T WANT TO LOUSE UP MY FRIEND.

O.K., REGINALD, SINCE I WAS IN HERE LAST,

WE FIRMED UP ON A FEW THINGS,

AND WE'RE LOOKING AT YOU

FOR SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED OVER THE WEEKEND.

LET ME EXPLAIN HOW IT GOES.

IS THIS GOING TO BE AN ASS KICKING?

NO. I'M NOT GOING TO LAY A HAND ON YOU.

NOW THERE'S TWO WAYS WE CAN GO WITH THIS.

I'VE READ YOU YOUR RIGHTS

AND YOU CAN HAVE A LAWYER IN HERE,

OR YOU AND I CAN SIT HERE TOGETHER

AND GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS,

BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT IS HOW IT LOOKS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

SO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY?

YEAH.

HOW DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT THE WAY IT LOOKS?

I LOOKED INTO YOUR BACKGROUND.

YOU'VE BEEN WORKING CONSISTENTLY FOR TWO YEARS.

YOU'VE HAD SOME BUMPS,

BUT I THINK YOU'RE A DECENT MAN,

AND I DON'T THINK YOU COULD BE LIVING THE WAY YOU LIVED

WITHOUT CHARACTER AND HEART.

I'VE BEEN WORKING MY ASS OFF FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.

I KNOW YOU HAVE.

SOMETHING SET YOU OFF IN THAT APARTMENT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BECAUSE SOMEBODY WAS BOTHERING YOU,

SOMEBODY TRIED TO HUMILIATE YOU.

I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

BUT THE BAD NEWS IS,

I HAVE ENOUGH NOW TO LOCK YOU UP.

YOUR BLOOD WAS ALL OVER,

AND NOWADAYS, REGINALD,

BLOOD IS LIKE A FINGERPRINT,

AND PEOPLE SAW YOU THERE.

SO I CAN LOCK YOU UP RIGHT NOW

AS A CRAZY MAN.

I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT,

'CAUSE YOU'RE A DECENT GUY.

SO HELP ME.

THINK ABOUT IT.

REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS THAT SET YOU OFF.

CAN YOU DO THAT?

I'LL BE BACK.

NORMAN, GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT.

WHAT DO YOU WANT, SIPOWICZ?

I GOT SOMETHING VERY NEWSWORTHY.

I THOUGHT I'D GIVE YOU FIRST CRACK.

COME UP TO MY TEMPORARY QUARTERS.

SURE.

HA. COME ON.

WELL, YOU KNOW THE RULES.

IF YOUR HOMEWORK IS LATE,

THEN I HAVE TO SPANK YOU.

WE KNOW. WE KNOW.

WELL, ASSUME THE POSITION.

YOU'RE LUCKY YOUR ASSES ARE SO FIRM AND ROUND.

OH, BOY.

THIS MAY STING A LITTLE...

O.K.‐‐

AH, AH. NO, NO.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART, NORMAN.

OUCH.

DENISE.

OUCH.

WELL, HAVE YOU GIRLS LEARNED YOUR LESSON NOW?

UH‐HUH. UH‐HUH.

WILL YOU TURN YOUR HOMEWORK IN ON TIME?

YES, HEADMASTER GROLSCH.

THIS IS BLACKMAIL, SIPOWICZ.

I COULD HAVE YOU ARRESTED.

WELL, YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE, NORVAL.

THAT SQUAD ROOM'S DEEP IN BOSSES.

WANT ME TO BRING PEOPLE IN HERE, MAKE THIS PUBLIC,

OR YOU WANT TO HEAR AN IDEA I GOT?

LET'S SAY I LIKE YOUR IDEA.

HOW DO I KNOW I'D GET THE TAPES?

NORMAN, IF WE DON'T HAVE TRUST,

WHERE ARE WE?

WE'RE BACK IN THE TREES.

HOO HOO HOO.

CROSS YOUR HEARTS.

OOH.

SORRY FOR THE DELAY.

I GOT STALLED IN LINEUPS WITH THOSE DIRTY COPS.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE ENTITLED TO HAVE

A LAWYER OR DELEGATE PRESENT?

YES.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS INTERVIEW IS BEING RECORDED?

YES, I DO.

STATE YOUR NAME AND SHIELD NUMBER.

UH, GREGORY MEDAVOY, SHIELD NUMBER 588.

WERE YOU THE CHIEF INVESTIGATING DETECTIVE

ON THE MURDER OF TOMMY LINARDI?

YES.

WHO WERE THE OTHER INVESTIGATING DETECTIVES

ON THAT CASE?

DETECTIVES KELLY, SIPOWICZ, AND MARTINEZ,

THE DAY TOUR OF THE 15th SQUAD.

DURING YOUR INVESTIGATION OF LINARDI'S DEATH,

DID YOU COME INTO POSSESSION OF A LEDGER

ORIGINALLY BELONGING TO AN ANGELO MARINO?

UH, YES.

WHO TURNED THAT LEDGER IN FOR VOUCHER?

THAT WAS DETECTIVE JOHN KELLY.

YOUR CASE LOG SHOWS THE LEDGER WAS ENTERED

TWO DAYS FOLLOWING THE OTHER EVIDENCE.

UH, THAT WAS ON ME.

UH, MY LOGGING WAS INTERRUPTED.

I KNEW DETECTIVE KELLY HAD THE LEDGER.

I DIDN'T GET AROUND TO ASKING FOR IT FOR A FEW DAYS.

WHAT INTERRUPTED YOUR LOGGING?

I DON'T SPECIFICALLY RECALL.

UH, I WAS WORKING ON OTHER ASPECTS OF THE CASE.

THERE WAS NO RESISTANCE ON DETECTIVE KELLY'S PART

IN TURNING THAT LEDGER IN?

NONE WHATSOEVER.

BUT DURING THAT TWO‐DAY PERIOD,

WAS KELLY THE ONLY DETECTIVE WITH ACCESS TO THAT LEDGER?

I‐‐I GUESS YOU COULD PUT IT LIKE THAT.

IT WAS ON ME, THOUGH.

I JUST NEVER GOT AROUND TO PICKING IT UP.

YOU GUYS WANT ANYTHING ELSE?

NO, THAT'LL DO IT.

O.K.

LISTEN, I'M 33 YEARS OLD.

I DID 14 YEARS IN JAIL.

I DID ONE TO FOUR.

COST ME 18 MONTHS FOR A HARDWARE STORE ROBBERY.

I GOT BACK OUT.

I DID FOUR MORE 'CAUSE THE HARDWARE STORE GUY

SAID I TRIED TO STICK HIM UP AGAIN

JUST TO GET ME OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THIRD TIME,

I GET HALFWAY THROUGH A GROCERY STORE ROBBERY,

GET SCARED.

THAT'S WHEN I GET GRABBED.

I'VE BEEN OUT TWO YEARS.

I'VE WORKED HARD.

I'VE BEEN WORKING DAY AND NIGHT

'CAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO GO BACK.

BUT I GO UP THERE TO THAT BUILDING.

YOU KNOW THE WAY IT IS?

IT'S LIKE A DAMN CELL BLOCK‐‐

PEOPLE WITH THEIR DOORS OPEN,

WOMEN INSIDE.

YOU JUST START TALKING.

YOU REACH INTO YOUR POCKET,

GET SOME MONEY FOR THE ROCK STARS.

THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL THEMSELVES.

ROCK STARS.

ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS SMOKE THAT CRACK.

I GO IN.

I SMOKE A LITTLE.

I SEE A WOMAN.

AND THIS...

THIS PUNK‐‐

THIS PUNK

COMES UP ON ME,

DON'T WANT ME MESSING WITH HIS HO.

SO I SLAPPED HIM LIKE A WOMAN.

HE'S GOING TO TRY AND TAKE ME.

STRONG‐ARM ME.

JUMP ON ME.

HOW'D THE PEOPLE GET CUT?

HE TRIED TO ROB ME.

GUY IN BARBARA'S APARTMENT?

YEAH.

PUNK'S TALKING ALL THAT STUFF,

THEN HE TRIES TO ROB ME.

I PULL OUT MY .380

AND ORDER THEIR ASS UPSTAIRS.

I TIED THE BITCH UP WITH AN ELECTRICAL CORD,

TIED HER UP REAL TIGHT.

NEXT THING I KNOW...

THIS PUNK IS GOING TO TRY AND JUMP ON ME.

SO I STARTED PUNCHING HIM

AND PUNCHING HIM.

THEN I SEE THE KNIFE.

WHEN I BROKE THE SKIN...

WITH THAT THING,

I KNEW I HAD MESSED UP BAD.

THESE TWO ROCK STARS WERE GOING TO...

RUIN MY WHOLE LIFE.

FORGET ABOUT IT.

BERNARD JENKINS GOES BACK INTO THE SYSTEM.

I MADE A DEAL WITH HIM.

HE LED US TO A DOUBLE MURDERER

BECAUSE I SAID I'D HELP HIM.

YOU DON'T GET TO MAKE DEALS.

THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE SUPERVISORS.

I CAN'T DO MY JOB UNLESS MY WORD'S GOOD.

MAYBE THERE'S A MESSAGE IN THAT.

YOU KNOW, YOU MAKE ME SICK.

YOU TAKE TESTS, YOU KISS ASSES,

THINK THAT MAKES YOU A BOSS?

YOU THINK THAT MAKES YOU A BOSS?

JOHN.

GIVE BERNARD JENKINS HIS DEAL.

KELLY JUST GAVE ME WHAT I NEED.

BE SEATED.

I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE REACHED A VERDICT.

MS. FOREPERSON, HAVE YOU REACHED A VERDICT?

YES.

WILL THE DEFENDANT PLEASE RISE?

HOW SAY YOU AS TO

THE FIRST COUNT OF MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE?

GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY?

NOT GUILTY.

HOW SAY YOU TO THE SECOND COUNT OF MANSLAUGHTER

IN THE FIRST DEGREE?

GUILTY.

IS THAT THE VERDICT OF THE JURY?

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE IN THIS DIFFICULT TRIAL.

THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK STATE ARE GRATEFUL.

YOU'RE NOW EXCUSED.

BAIL WILL BE CONTINUED PENDING SENTENCE,

AND COURT IS ADJOURNED.

TWO YEARS MAX.

WORK RELEASE IN SIX MONTHS.

NOT BAD FOR A SHYSTER MOUTHPIECE.

THANKS.

THE MEAL THEY SAID WOULD NEVER HAPPEN.

I‐I'M SORRY ABOUT ALL THE DELAYS.

IT'S O. K.

EXCUSE ME.

COULD YOU BRING US THAT BREAD

THAT SMELLS LIKE OLIVE OIL?

IT'S CUT UP INTO THESE CUBES.

FOCACCIA.

YEAH.

WE DON'T HAVE IT. THAT'S PANE MARINO.

SHE LIKES THAT OTHER KIND.

WE DON'T MAKE IT ANYMORE. SORRY.

ANDY, IT'S O. K.

PART OF THE REASON WHY WE CAME HERE

IS 'CAUSE YOU LIKE THAT BREAD.

BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER.

I'LL TRY THE...

PANE MARINO.

O.K.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

OH, THEY HAVE FRESH BRONZINO. GOOD.

I'M‐‐I'M VERY HAPPY

THAT WE'RE HAVING DINNER HERE LIKE THIS.

ME, TOO.

YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW,

I HAD TO TAKE THINGS STEP BY STEP.

I'M PROUD OF HOW YOU DID THINGS.

MY WHOLE THING IS,

I HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO TAKE THINGS IN STRIDE,

NOT GET SO WORKED UP,

LIKE‐‐LIKE WHEN WE HAD TO CANCEL LAST NIGHT.

OR WITH THIS BREAD HERE.

COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THAT'S A THREE‐ALARM FIRE.

I'M PROUD OF YOUR SELF‐CONTROL.

WELL, I'M GOING TO GET THERE,

LIKE, UH, I GOT‐‐I GOT MY WORK HERE, YOU KNOW,

AND I GOT MY PROBLEM,

WHICH I'M MAKING PROGRESS ON,

AND YOU.

YEAH.

LOOK, WHY DON'T WE GET MARRIED?

I MEAN‐‐

DON'T SAY NOTHING NOW.

I'M JUST THINKING OUT LOUD.

IT'S O. K.

NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT TO ME

THAN THE TRUST OF MY AUDIENCE,

SO IF THE STATEMENT I'M ABOUT TO MAKE

CAUSES ME PERSONAL EMBARRASSMENT OR DISCOMFORT,

IT'S A PRICE I'M WILLING TO PAY.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

NEW INFORMATION I'VE BEEN MADE PRIVY TO

IN THE LAST FEW HOURS

EXONERATES DETECTIVE JOHN KELLY

AND CASTS SEVERE DOUBT ON THE VERACITY OF MY WITNESSES...

WHERE'D THAT COME FROM?

SOMEBODY ELSE MUST HAVE BOUGHT HIM.

SINCLAIR THINKS I'M ONLY GOING TO DO ABOUT SIX MONTHS.

HE DID GOOD FOR YOU.

YOU DID GOOD FOR ME.

YOU KNOW THE WAY UPSTATE?

I KNOW THE WAY UPSTATE.
