Original subtitles

Hey. Morning.

Hey, how's it going, Andy? Good.

Sylvia made some Greek stuff for dinner last night.

Usually gives me an upset stomach. I sailed right through it.

Hey! That's a good sign.

Good morning, Greg. Morning.

Hi. Hey.

You were up and out so early. You didn't have court today?

No, I met Papa for coffee and yogurt.

I told him.

How'd he take it?

He's thrilled.

So he took it okay? Oh, he's already planning the engagement party.

Theo Janni, my uncle, will perform the thaktilithia‐‐

The which? It's the blessing of the rings.

He blesses our commitment before the family icon of Saint Sophia.

And the wedding‐‐

Oh, Andy, an Orthodox wedding is... so beautiful.

Yeah, I'm sure it is.

You'll need a koumbaro. It's a sponsor. It's like a best man.

Each of us gets to wear a crown of white flowers. And the incense and the choir‐‐

My father wants to meet with us so he can get an early jump on everything.

Sylvia, before we get too far into this, can I say one word?

Sure.

Maryland. Maryland?

You and I can get married real quick in Maryland.

[ Laughs ] Oh, yeah.

You're serious?

It'd be nice and private. Just the two of us.

Like some sailor running off with a hooker? It doesn't have to be that.

I don't think you know how much getting married means to me.

It means a lot to me, but do we have to make some production where we both wear flowers‐‐

I don't think of it as an ordeal. I don't... wanna take my vows...

in some marriage mill that smells like booze and cigarette smoke.

I have to go.

I was just looking to provide another angle on things.

Well, you certainly did.

[ Grunts ]

[ Car Blips Twice ]

[ Chattering ]

We need to keep this area clear. What's the status?

We got two males and a female D.O.A. in the kitchen.

Female's white. One of the men looks Hispanic.

This is Mr. Bagley over here. He's the day manager.

He found the bodies when he opened up this morning. Okay. Thanks.

[ Siren Wailing ] [ Helicopter Whirring ]

[ Chattering ] [ Man On P. A., Indistinct ]

One shot each in the back of the head.

Looks like they were kneeling when they got it.

Got a receipt from Jack's Jewelry. No address.

There's some scrape marks on the back of his neck.

They've been dead at least four hours.

Shell casing is from a .45.

That gun's got a loud bark. Maybe somebody might have heard it.

I'll notify C. S. U. and start the canvas with Medavoy.

All right. The day manager's out there. I got him.

All set. Let's go.

Fifteen Boise says okay. Fifteen Boise, go ahead.

[ Whistle Blows ]

Mr. Bagley? Yeah.

I'm Detective Simone. I‐I just can't believe this.

I‐I mean, to murder three people like that.

There's never any business here at nights.

The most there could have been in the register is 120, maybe.

Let's go talk over here. What can you tell me about the victims?

A‐Arnulfo was t‐the busboy. He was a real hard worker.

Got a last name on Arnulfo? No. The green card thing was kinda shaky.

He got paid cash. What about the others?

Angelo D'Lia and Cindy Bloom. He was the night manager and chef.

He took courses during the day. Hotel management. He's got any family?

No, I got it that Angelo was a homo. O‐Or maybe one of these nonsexual guys.

And Cindy Bloom? Just a real nice kid.

Still in school. Hard worker. Lived at home.

This is terrible! What kind of world is this? A kid like that?

Uh, Mr. Bagley, I'm gonna need addresses and phone numbers on D'Lia and Cindy Bloom.

I got them inside. She was a sweet kid too.

Her parents are gonna be very upset by this.

My God, can you imagine? And think about the murdered people themselves getting shot.

That is a tough break. Yeah.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Yeah. Okay, I'm on it.

Hey, James.

Yeah? We just had an attempted rape called in.

Sixty‐four‐year‐old woman. They're treating her over at Bellevue.

The cop has a name of a bus driver who may have seen the guy.

Why don't you work with Adrianne? Sure.

‐ Let's do it. ‐ Okay.

‐ Yeah, I'll take care of that with you. ‐ Andy‐‐

These are Cindy's parents, Albert and Estelle Bloom. This is Detective Sipowicz.

Sipowicz and I are working the case. We should all go in this room here and talk.

Can we get you something to drink? Coffee?

No, no. Nothing for us at all.

Didn't want Cindy working there.

All types go in there. All types. Oh, it was only part‐time.

Have you come up with any idea...

who might... have done this, Detective?

It was a robbery.

We're trying to determine if the perpetrator might...

have had a relationship with one of the victims.

Can you think of anyone your daughter might...

have known who might be capable of doing something like this?

Well, there is someone, not really a boyfriend but someone that she used to see.

He was a rough type. We weren't fond of him.

And we heard that once he'd been in trouble with the police.

Actually‐‐ [ Breathes ]

She stopped seeing him about a month ago.

You know his name? No, he still phoned her.

I answered once. It was him.

His name is Harry Benson. Wait.

There. That's him there.

I kept that picture because it was... so good of Cindy.

Yeah.

Y‐You think he did this?

We'll look into it, Mr. Bloom. Do you have any idea where we might be able to find him?

He's a mechanic, and he works for, uh, Myerson's.

Myerson's Muffler Shop in Long Island City.

It is so horrible to think... he might have done this.

You guys here about the rape victim? Yeah.

You got a name on that bus driver?

His shift's over in two hours. He said he'd stop at the squad when he's through.

That's her doctor right over there. Thanks.

Excuse me, Doctor. Yeah?

I'm Detective Martinez. This is Detective Lesniak.

Paul! Adrianne, hey.

[ Laughs ] Oh! Wow.

You two know each other? We were friends in high school.

You don't look any different. You look great. Thanks.

I'm Paul Druzinski. Pleasure.

Listen, Doc, we're here on the Eunice Stevens assault.

She's in pretty bad shape. Her blood pressure was 220 over 110 when they brought her in.

Minimum, she's got a concussion.

We're gonna have to do a scan to check if her injuries are more extensive.

You do a rape kit? Yeah. No evidence of penetration.

‐ Can we talk to her? ‐ Keep it short. She's in the last cubicle.

Could you get that rape kit for us? Yeah. Sure. No problem.

Thanks. Thanks.

Why don't you, uh, take this one, all right?

Mrs. Stevens, I'm Detective Lesniak. This is Detective Martinez.

Oh, I didn't see him real good.

That's okay. Just tell us what you remember.

Anything you remember will help.

Well, I‐I was... walking home.

And he came up. And he‐‐ He pushed me from behind.

Then he started hitting me. He was so strong.

He tore off my stockings. And I grabbed my spray from my bag and I‐‐

I sprayed him in the face.

You carry Mace?

Yeah. I sprayed him and he ran off.

Did you get a look at him? Uh, his hair color, features, tattoos?

No, no, no, no, you see, he had‐‐

He had these nylons over his face.

It was horrible. It was like a mask.

But I did see his hands.

He was a black man.

Do you remember how he was dressed?

He was wearing a‐a red and black... baseball jacket.

[ Cries ]

Why would he wanna do this to me?

Do you have any family you want notified? We can have them brought over if you want.

Thank you, no. What about friends, neighbors?

Uh, Mrs. Krasnow moved to Las Vegas.

I don't know anybody anymore.

Well, okay, you rest up now, Mrs. Stevens. We'll keep you posted.

Okay.

Feel better, all right?

The complaint report didn't say anything about a can of Mace.

Maybe someone took off with it. I'll check with the cop who took the report.

Okay, here's the kit. Thanks.

How do you think she's gonna do? We'll know more in 24 hours.

Too bad we finally see each other under these circumstances, huh?

It's still good to see you.

Yeah. We better get going.

Bye. See ya.

You know, once in a while they let me out of here.

You wanna get together sometime? Sure.

Why don't you give me your phone number?

All right. I'll call you.

Okay.

I talked to Benson's boss. He said he left for the day.

He gave me this address in the precinct. I called and all I got was a machine.

Let's take a ride up there. Maybe we'll get lucky and run into him.

Kinda a long shot.

I feel like taking a ride. We got nothing else right now.

Okay, I'll take a ride.

You think this guy raped an old lady?

What'd you see from your bus, Mr. Glover?

I knew this guy had done something.

That's why I radioed when he ran in front of the bus.

He had this look like he just done something.

What did he look like?

He was an Indian. Indian? Like Cochise? Or from India?

From India. He wasn't black?

Y'all got this brother under custody and now y'all trying to put him with this, right?

No, that's not it. We don't have anybody. Just the victim's description.

I look at people eight hours a day and I know my races. Dude I saw was an Indian. You mind?

What was he wearing? He was wearing a red and black jacket.

‐ What kind of jacket? ‐ Kinda like a baseball jacket.

Did you see where he went? No, I got a schedule to maintain.

Mind looking at some photos? Long as they're Indian photos. Dude I saw wasn't no brother.

I don't know. Maybe we are wasting our time.

Let's give him another ten minutes.

Yeah. Ten minutes.

[ Sighs ]

What is up? Is there something wrong, Andy? No.

I had this thing with Sylvia.

Like an argument? Uh, it was‐‐

I think it was more like a disagreement kind of a thing.

Just nothing major then?

[ Sighs ] I don't think so, no, I‐‐

No.

Maybe the guy went around the back, huh?

I'll go check with the doorman there.

I've been waiting for you. [ Siren Wailing ]

Hey. You seen this guy around?

Guy is an asshole. [ Laughs ]

Everybody's got a little good in them. You seen him or not?

Yeah, the guy is right there behind you.

Hey. Hey. Hey, hey, hey! You don't want to make me chase you. Bobby!

Stop right there! W‐W‐W‐What's going on here? Hey.

Spread 'em! Hey!

All right.

So what were you running for? I had no idea you guys were cops.

If I'd have known that, there's no way I would have taken off. I got nothing to hide.

Have a seat. Sure.

So how long were you seeing Cindy Bloom?

So that's what this is about?

She was one of three people who were murdered. That's what it's about.

Oh, God.

‐ What happened? She was shot? ‐ We didn't say that, Benson.

I just can't believe this.

When was the last time you saw her?

Now it's me? You've been talking to her parents? They tell you about me?

Why do you think her parents would say anything?

Well, I'm not Jewish, right? They didn't hide how they felt about me.

I didn't hold that against Cindy.

Cindy still called me. It wasn't all over between us.

So you were still seeing her? No.

I didn't wanna cause her any hassles. Where'd you sleep last night?

At my place. Alone.

If I was involved here, I'd have some kind of story for you, believe me.

You ever been in trouble with the police?

Five years ago I was in on a burglary. Auto parts store.

I've been clean since.

Look, I never did this or anything like this.

I felt for Cindy. That's the God's honest truth.

Those Indians must be a pretty law‐abiding race. Not much here.

Take the time and look at all of them, Mr. Glover.

Yeah.

This could be him. Could be?

Yeah. This guy's wearing a T‐shirt.

My guy had a jacket. Made him... bulkier.

Rajiv Patel. Yeah, I'll run him through B.C.I.

Your apartment, where you say you were sleeping,

any of the neighbors see you come in, leave?

Maybe. I don't know.

Did you hear anything that night? Music, arguments, anything like that?

No. Nothing?

Well, I'm not surprised.

'Cause we got a witness who picked your picture out of a photo array...

that puts you getting out of a car a block away from that coffee shop...

on the night of the murders.

You got a witness who says that?

That's what I said. We got a witness.

So the road forks for you right here, Benson. You start telling us the truth,

or we're gonna make it hard for you all the way down the line.

You probably know from being a lowlife turd, if you start talking too late,

we don't care anymore.

So what's it gonna be?

I didn't do it. I didn't want you thinking maybe I did.

That's why I said I wasn't out there.

Cindy and me, we've still been seeing each other.

Her parents didn't want it. We kept it quiet. So you were out there?

You saw her that night?

I saw 'em all.

Cindy.

That busboy, whatever his name is. That fag there, D'Lia.

I had a couple of coffees with her. I left around 12:00.

You left them dead.

No, I'm telling you there was nobody there when I left!

‐ The place was empty. ‐ [ Knocking ]

Can I talk to you guys outside?

Just got a call from a police chief from upstate from a place called Cannonsville.

They got a local guy in custody on a gun charge.

They found deposit slips and canceled checks from the Sunrise Diner in his car.

He'd seen something on the news and called down. I want you guys up there.

How long they have this guy? Well, he's being arraigned tomorrow afternoon.

So you gotta be there about what, mid‐morning?

‐ How far away is this place? ‐ They said it's about a four‐hour drive.

‐ Can we get someone to sit with Benson until we get back? ‐ Yeah, sure.

I don't have it here.

We got a problem on the Stevens case.

I thought the driver gave you a photo I. D.?

I run his name through, and it turns out...

Patel's record was sealed when the charges against him were dismissed.

‐The photo should never have been left in our file. ‐We lose the I. D. in a hearing.

Spoke to the cop who made the collar. Guy had the same M. O.

He was busted for assaulting an elderly woman. Knocked her down. Bruised her pretty badly.

‐ She dropped the complaint. ‐ Could be a rape. She didn't want to admit it.

We got an address on this Patel? Yeah.

Get some surveillance photos. See if your witness makes an I. D. off one.

Okay. Yeah.

Detective? Paul Druzinski. Says you're expecting him. Ah, thanks, Donna.

He didn't waste any time, huh?

Hey. How are you? Hey. Fine.

‐ Hey, Detective. ‐ Hey.

Am I interrupting? I can wait. Actually, we were talking about the Stevens case.

How is Mrs. Stevens doing?

Not as improved as we would have hoped, but I'm still optimistic. You ready?

Yeah. You know, I think...

I've been in a police station about twice in my life.

I think I talked to a doctor without being billed about twice in my life.

I'll tell you what, I won't bill you if you don't arrest me.

‐ You got a deal. ‐ Good to see you again.

All right. Have a great time you two.

Thanks. Good night. Good night, Donna.

[ Door Opens ]

Hi.

Hi.

I'm gonna have to wake up around 3:00 a. m.

Simone and I are going upstate.

A place called Cannonsville. You ever hear of it?

Me neither.

I, uh‐‐

I should be back tomorrow afternoon.

Sylvia‐‐

Uh, if, uh‐‐

If I take a shower when I get up, it's not going to wake you up, is it?

No.

I can take a shower now. Maybe that'd be better.

It doesn't matter to me when you take a shower.

[ Sighs ] Maybe we should talk a little more about this wedding thing.

There's nothing to talk about.

And I'm very tired.

[ Exhales ] Well, good night.

[ Simone ] God, it's beautiful out here.

How about this temperature? I mean, what is that? Global warming? El Niño?

You realize we haven't seen another car in 15 minutes.

Yeah, these farm roads are great, right? There's no traffic.

I don't know. I think we should've stayed on the thruway.

See, it's this thick, red line here all the way through.

This road, it's not even on here.

The guy on the phone said that this is the shortest route.

[ Sighs ]

Pop the radio on.

Nah, they got nothing on the radio in places like this.

I'm gonna pull over.

Take a little break.

Get out of here. Shoo! Go on. Beat it.

Take off. Get out of here.

Come on, Andy. Give me a hand.

What are you doing? What's this?

Pigeons. I know they're pigeons, but what are they doing in the car?

These are my racing homers.

Thought it would be a good chance to give them a little cross‐country workout.

Go ahead. Grab one. [ Scoffs ]

Grab a pigeon.

Do they bite? No.

This way.

There you go.

Hey, you know what to do, huh?

See you in Brooklyn! Go on. Beat it. Get out of here.

[ Laughs ] They're going home? Yep.

They'll be there in a couple of hours.

Lucky them.

Come on. Let's go. This stuff stinks.

[ Chuckles ]

Hi. Hi.

You fellas made real good time. Sam Burns.

Bobby Simone. Good to meet you. Uh, Andy Sipowicz.

Come on into the office. You take that turnoff on Route 12?

Yeah.

You go through some pretty country that way.

We're not really up here to see the country. Well, that's a shame.

We're pretty proud of this area. You ought to see it in the fall.

Vermont... has nothing on us.

Chief, we're on a tight schedule here. Could we just go over what you got?

I understand this guy got picked up on a gun charge?

No, actually, he was picked up for having no taillights.

My man spotted a sawed‐off shotgun sticking out from under the seat.

Actually, this is the stuff that I think links him to your case.

Deposit receipts from the Sunrise Diner.

I heard about those killings on the radio.

You did some good work here.

These slips put him in the Sunrise Diner. I just wish they were dated.

This guy make any statements?

The boys from Chester been with him for a couple of hours about a robbery‐homicide of their own.

I figured I'd give them until what? Noon.

No, look, we don't have a lot of time here.

‐ We got people in New York waiting for an answer. ‐ Can't you give us a shot now?

No, I don't think that'd be fair. These boys got here at daybreak.

First come, first serve. Isn't that right?

Take‐‐

Hey.

For the local paper.

You boys are big news up here.

Yeah, we'll be back in a couple of hours.

I gotta make a quick call. Can I use your phone here? Yeah.

Two hours, huh?

As we were coming in to town, I saw a couple of antique stores.

What? It's busy. What'd you say?

Maybe we should check them out.

Wait a minute. Antique stores for what?

Yeah, summer quilts, Royal Doulton, Hummels.

We could find some great stuff up here.

We gotta kill some time, Andy.

Hummels‐‐

Ah, Lieutenant. Um‐‐

You know how I can reach Sipowicz and Simone?

Yeah, the Cannonsville police station upstate. What do you got?

Uh, well, you know that case they caught.

I traced a receipt we found on a young Hispanic victim...

to a jeweler on Canal Street.

Uh, the jeweler remembers selling this Arnulfo a gold cross...

with an inscription on it.

H‐He gave me a photo out of the catalog.

Good. Have Donna fax that to Andy and Bobby right away.

Okay. Cannonsville? Yeah.

‐ Lieutenant? ‐ Come on.

We set up the surveillance on Patel. Here's a couple of photos.

You see he's wearing the red and black jacket like the victim said.

We tried a photo array on the bus driver. He picked this guy, Patel, out, no problem.

‐ So when can Miss Stevens view a lineup? ‐ We're waiting on the doctor.

The bus driver puts him running from the crime scene.

That's enough to bring him in. Yeah.

[ Fancy ] Yeah, Stanley, how you doing? I was trying‐‐

Hey, what's the scoop?

I, uh, got you the extra, extra pepperoni.

You know how long I've been here?

Yeah, well, we gotta keep you here pending...

what our other detectives are looking at i‐in trying to clear you.

How's it look for me?

I‐I can't really get into it, but, uh,

it shouldn't be too long.

But basically you think I should be optimistic?

Can't hurt.

I'll, uh‐‐ I'll check on some more magazines for you.

Well, when she gets in, tell her I'll call her back around 1:00.

No, it's not an emergency, but I'm gonna be delayed.

No, there's no place I can be reached. Yeah. Thanks.

Anything in the case that you see, just let me know and I'll take it out.

She's in court.

Check this out, man. Beautiful cameos.

Yeah? Uh, I don't really know about those things there.

My wife, she really liked cameos.

Hmm. I don't know about Sylvia. I mean, what she'd like.

That's something you ought to find out.

Yeah. But we're very different.

You know, uh, what she likes and what I like.

We're getting married.

That's great, Andy. Congratulations, man.

Yeah, only, she's mad at me now and I'm stuck up here.

It's probably not a good idea to count on anything.

What's she mad about?

The wedding. She wants this big Greek deal where I wear flowers on my head.

I was thinking of something more quick and private.

Ah, the whole thing might be off.

Dorothy! How you doing? Fine.

I stopped by the Quick Mart. Willie said he thought he saw you two wander over.

Dorothy's got some nice doodads here, don't she?

Yeah. Those boys from Chester, they done?

Yeah, they just wrapped up. That's what I came to tell you.

Okay, great.

I'll, uh‐‐ I'll catch up.

Thank you very much. You're welcome.

Some shell casings in‐‐ [ Phone Rings ]

Right over here. Detective Lesniak?

Doctor Druzinski called. Says it's urgent. Thanks.

I'll meet you in there. Okay. Let's go in here.

How long I have to be here?

Shouldn't be that long. Just wanna clear a few things up.

I have an attorney, Mr. Shastri. I could call him.

Uh‐huh. Well, as I explained to you, Mr. Patel, you have that right.

But then we'll have to wait for him and this thing will take a lot more time.

No. I have work to do. And I know I've done nothing.

‐ James? ‐ Yeah.

I just spoke with Paul. Paul?

‐ Dr. Druzinski. Mrs. Stevens had a stroke. ‐ Bad?

They don't think she's gonna make it. If she does, she won't be able to make an I. D.

‐ You tell Fancy? ‐ Mm‐mmm.

But we got this guy, Patel, here. Maybe we can get him to go.

All right.

Okay, so the first thing is, Mr. Patel,

where were you between 8:00 and 9:00, yesterday morning?

Those hours I would have been in my office.

We have a problem. We know you were near 10th and "C."

You were seen running away from something over there.

Uh, actually, I was near there. As I recall, it was around 9:30.

I installed a sound card at a customer's place of business.

As I was walking to catch the bus, I heard some yelling and screaming.

I thought it was some crazy person with a gun.

I've seen people with guns in that area. So I... ran.

We're gonna need the name of that customer you saw.

Yes, um, his name is Mr. Jaday.

H‐He will tell you. I should have told you this right away.

I‐I thought, uh‐‐ Well, I don't know what I thought.

You know what I think, Rajiv? I think you're lying.

I think you assaulted that old lady there. Tried to rape her.

That is nonsense. That's crazy.

We got witnesses that'll put you there. We know you've done this before.

I have no record. You can check.

We know about you, Patel. How can you say such a thing?

Where is this woman? Let her tell it to my face I did this terrible thing.

Rajiv, you're only facing an assault charge.

Admit this and with your record being clean like it is, you may get probation.

Otherwise, we do D. N. A. tests. Do you know what it means if we come after you on rape?

Do any test you like. How can I admit to something I did not do?

If you're innocent, let me see your jacket.

Why? I‐I don't have to give you my jacket.

No, no, you don't.

But if you don't give it to me, I'm sure gonna think you're guilty.

Nice going, James.

I'm gonna send this to the lab. Get it tested for Mace.

If it comes back positive, it'll help, but it won't lock him in.

He don't know that.

[ Sipowicz ] When'd you get back from New York?

I haven't been to New York.

We got people who saw you.

I don't care. I haven't been there. Bite my ass!

One more "bite my ass" from you and you're gonna be gumming your food, douche bag.

Settle down. Now look, we found deposit slips in your truck from the Sunrise Diner.

How'd they get there?

Dickhead, I got nothing to say to you. I got this to say to you.

I looked at three people that you shot down like dogs. And I am gonna get you.

[ Laughs ] Ow!

Wear that for a week.

How long you gonna be able to keep this guy in on the gun charge?

He goes before the judge tomorrow. I can ask him to make it high, but he'll set the bail.

We just got this fax in from your precinct. Thanks.

I'll give Medavoy a call.

Riker live near here?

He lives with his mom and dad on Route 61. I can show you on the map.

I'll be right back.

[ Dog Barking ]

All right. Okay. Hey.

[ Growls ]

Take it easy. Settle down.

Hey, calm down, big fella.

Hello?

Hello, sir. Are you Mr. Riker?

Mr. Riker, I'm Detective Sipowicz. This is Detective Simone.

Can we have a few moments? You got a warrant?

They had a warrant. They didn't find a damn thing.

No, sir, we're not here to search the premises.

We're just wondering if we could talk?

Okay.

Thank you.

Hi.

‐ How you doing, ma'am? ‐ What's happening with my boy?

He's still being interviewed, sir.

Interviewed? That's a new one. Who by? Oprah or Geraldo?

What can you tell us about your son's activities over the last few days?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Has he been away or at home?

‐ I'm gonna get a lawyer and sue you bastards. ‐ Why would you be suing us?

Picking on our boy. He's a good boy. He helps us out.

How does he help you, ma'am? Money?

He can make money whenever he wants. Knows how to weld.

He buy you that big television set there?

What of it?

Well, sounds like a really good boy. Yep. He buy you anything else?

Um, see that microwave in the kitchen? He gave me that.

Oh, well, that's nice. Yeah.

How about personal things? Those things that really warm up a mother's heart.

‐ That cross? ‐ Yeah.

‐ When did he give you that? ‐ He gave me this just yesterday.

That's a real beauty, but we're gonna need it.

Oh, no. Oh, forget it, mister. My son gave me this.

That is stolen property. It was taken during the commission of a crime. We need the cross.

You two get the hell‐‐ Let's not get carried‐‐

Angus, no!

I got the bat. I got it.

Would you calm down? Calm down!

Oh, Angus. [ Crying ]

The only reason I'm not locking you up is because you're just trying to protect your son.

We're not holding you responsible your good boy is a scumbag.

[ Whimpers, Cries ]

We're gonna need this, ma'am. [ Cries ]

I talked to the lab. They found traces of Mace on his jacket. He's it.

That was the hospital. Mrs. Stevens is dead.

Ah, man, that's gonna make it a homicide.

Mm‐hmm. If we tell Patel, he'll lawyer up. And school's out.

[ Exhales ] Yeah.

There are 50 different kinds of Mace.

The kind of Mace Mrs. Stevens sprayed on her attacker...

is the same kind we found on your jacket.

It is over. I don't know what you're talking about.

You want some advice? Start thinking how to minimize your time in prison.

Realize you're going and the only question is for how long.

Maybe you have a problem. Maybe it's some kind of a sickness. Maybe you need help.

You give us a statement and we'll let you talk to a doctor.

Explain to him about what you've done.

I've done nothing. I think I should call Mr. Shastri.

That's his attorney.

Well, that takes it out of our hands,

but I want you to know we have the evidence to convict you.

Rajiv, start working with us and start helping yourself. Start telling the truth.

Did you try to rape Mrs. Stevens? No, God, no. No.

So what did you do? Try to rob her?

No, no, I‐I don't need the money. I‐‐ I earn good money.

I pushed her. I‐‐ She fell down.

I slapped. That's all.

Open hand, l‐like this.

I‐I don't know why I do these things, b‐but it was nothing.

Look, I‐‐ I don't want to go to prison.

If I am ill, would they put me in prison?

Rajiv, why don't you write everything down about the incident with Mrs. Stevens?

From the first thought you had about doing it, to when she sprayed you and you ran away.

Try to make us understand exactly what you did.

Come on. We're going to take a little ride down to New York.

I'm not. Get your damn hands off me.

Keep your mouth shut. Maybe we'll get you a bottle of Yoo‐hoo for the road.

I just spoke to our local magistrate. Convinced him we should drop our charges.

He's all yours. Thanks a lot for your help.

We appreciate everything you've given us.

You should come back by here. A week here would do you a lot of good.

[ Laughs ] Shut up.

I'll stick him in the cage. Start the paperwork. All right.

This is wrong. So is doing it with sheep. I'm betting you did that too.

Run him through. I'll deal with Fancy. Hey, nice work.

Greg, you're the man. The neck chain tip is what got him.

All right, it's the end of the trail, Riker.

It's your last chance to think about making a statement.

Cutting some kind of a deal.

Hey, if I ever had the chance... to cut anything,

I'd cut your damn throat.

You'd cut my throat, huh, scummer?

Let me tell you something‐‐

Where you're going, everybody you meet...

is gonna be looking to lay you open or lay you down.

[ Shouts ]

[ Door Opens ]

Where's the other guy? He go for the rubber hose?

We've got some new information on the case, Benson.

So you're free to go.

All right. So I waited here all day and night for nothing.

Well, we take a triple homicide very seriously here.

And frankly, you looked very right for it.

But I wasn't.

No.

Look, we don't like squeezing innocent guys, but sometimes it does happen.

So, uh, if you ever find yourself in a jam, we owe you one.

When I told you I was sorry about Cindy, I meant it.

Yeah.

And I meant what I said about owing you one.

Hey. I vouchered Patel's original statement. I'm just finishing the DD5.

Great. Thanks. Hey, good work on the Patel case.

Thanks. Thanks, Lieu.

How about we go have a drink and celebrate? I'm buying.

Can I take a rain check on that? I have plans tonight. Sure.

So I guess it went okay last night with that doctor?

Yeah, we had some fun.

You renewing a thing you had going in high school? Not really.

Paulie and I didn't go out. I had a boyfriend. He dated a girlfriend of mine.

I see.

She dumped him for another guy. I thought that was a dumb move.

Now's your chance. Who knows?

Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow, James.

Okay, have fun. Thanks.

Nick? Yeah, Bobby. Yeah? All of them?

Great. Great. All right, thanks. I'll be there in a while.

Good night, guys. All my birds made it back.

That's great. [ Clears Throat ]

I'm gonna take off. I still got some things to settle at home.

Sure. I'll see you tomorrow.

Good night, Detective.

Did you eat?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Why don't you sit down? We should talk.

Sylvia, on the wedding‐‐ I've given it a lot of thought and I‐‐

Now, I want you to understand what my feelings are.

A big wedding. It's what every girl dreams of.

And it had a very special meaning for me‐‐

No problem. That's what I want too.

No, I overreacted.

We can have a lovely, small wedding. Maybe up in the country.

No, I was just in the country. I think your father's got the right idea.

Something big here in the city.

Are you sure you really want that?

Sure.

I mean, uh, how many chances am I gonna get to wear a crown of flowers?

[ Laughs ] [ Laughs ]

Here.

What's this?

Just open it.

A cameo.

I love cameos.

I never had one, but I've always wanted one. And how could you have known that?

It just seemed like you.

It's, uh, Aphrodite.

She's the Greek goddess of love. Yeah.

You know what she's meant to inspire?

Specifically?

I'll show ya.
