ANOTHER ONE CAME UP IN A CAR,

JUMPED OUT, AND HIT HIM, TOO.

THAT'S WHEN I WENT TO THE GROCERY,

AND HE WAS YELLING TO THEM IN ITALIAN‐‐

THE GROCER WAS.

THEN THEY JUMPED IN THE CAR AND DROVE AWAY.

DID YOU SEE THE LICENSE PLATE?

I DIDN'T LOOK AT IT.

IT WAS AN ORDINARY BLUE CAR.

BRUNO WAS MAKING MY SANDWICH.

I GET BREAKFAST HERE EVERY MORNING.

SALAMI. DON'T I, BRUNO?

SALAMI. SI, SI.

I WON'T BE HAVING A SANDWICH THIS MORNING.

THOSE GUYS WENT CRAZY.

HOW ABOUT THE GUYS THAT BEAT HIM UP?

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THEM?

THIS CASE HAS A LOW SOLVABILITY FACTOR.

I'M ONLY HERE BECAUSE MY INSURANCE GUY SAID

SO WE GOT TWO EYEWITNESSES

THAT REPORTED IT THE SAME WAY.

ONE GUY CHASES THE KID, BEATS HIM WITH A BAT.

THE OTHER ONE DRIVES UP.

NOBODY GOT THE LICENSE PLATE NUMBER.

WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO HER.

O.K.

I GOT THE M. E., ANDY.

SYLVIA, DID THEY HURT YOU?

NO. NO. I'M O. K. I‐‐

I WAS JUST FINISHED TAKING A STATEMENT THERE,

AND I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE SUBWAY,

AND HE CAME UP BEHIND ME,

GRABBED MY PURSE, AND TOOK OFF.

SIT DOWN. SIT DOWN. WANT SOME WATER OR SOMETHING?

I COULDN'T GIVE A DESCRIPTION.

I DIDN'T REALLY GET A LOOK AT HIM.

WHO CAUGHT IT AT THE 2‐7?

UH, LIEUTENANT DeNATALE.

HE HELPED ME STOP THE CREDIT CARDS.

DID THEY HAVE A PATTERN TO WORK OFF?

MY KEYS WERE IN THE PURSE.

DETECTIVE DeNATALE SAID NOT TO CHANGE THE LOCKS,

BUT I WANT TO ANYWAY.

WHATEVER YOU THINK.

I'M GOING TO GO TAKE A STATEMENT,

THEN I'LL MEET THE LOCKSMITH AT THE APARTMENT.

CHECK WITH THE SARGE DOWNSTAIRS.

I'LL HAVE A RADIO CAR

TAKE YOU TO THE APARTMENT.

I DON'T WANT TO.

THE COPS WILL STAY WITH YOU

O.K.

THANKS.

I'M SORRY IT HAPPENED.

I'M JUST GLAD HE DIDN'T HURT YOU.

YEAH.

I'M JUST UPSET.

M.E. WILL HAVE THE AUTOPSY

BY THE END OF THE TOUR.

WE SHOULD CHECK OUT CHATO'S GIRLFRIEND.

SOMEBODY GRABBED SYLVIA'S PURSE

OVER AT THE 2‐7.

SHE O. K.?

SHE'S GOING HOME TO GET THE LOCKS CHANGED.

THAT'S A GOOD PIECE OF LUGGAGE FOR THE MONEY.

HOW MUCH?

$9.00.

UH, NO GOOD.

YOU THINK YOU'LL GET GOOD LUGGAGE FOR 9 BUCKS?

YOU WANT A GOOD ONE? RIGHT HERE. $25.

WHAT'S UP WITH THE PILLS, AMALIA?

VALIUM.

WELL, YOU SHOULDN'T BE MIXING THEM WITH BOOZE.

I NEED THEM TO GET THROUGH A ORDINARY DAY.

WHO DID IT? WE DON'T KNOW.

SOMETIMES IT'S DRUGS MIXED IN THESE THINGS.

DID CARLOS DEAL OR USE ANYTHING LIKE THAT?

NAH.

HE RUN WITH A GANG?

UH‐UH. HE DID HIS OWN THING.

WHAT WOULD THAT BE?

HE WAS A TAGGER.

HE WAS A TAGGER, HUH?

WHAT ABOUT THAT?

THAT'S GOT THE LOOK, MAN.

HE DID BEAUTIFUL TAGS.

YEAH. THAT'S SENSATIONAL.

WAS CARLOS IN A BEEF WITH ANYBODY?

WE HAVE WITNESSES SAW HIM ATTACKED BY TWO WHITE GUYS IN LITTLE ITALY.

GUINEA SONS OF BITCHES.

I HOPE THEY ALL DIE!

ABOUT TAGGING IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE? EVER SEEN THEM?

BUT THIS KID WAS BRAINED WITH A BASEBALL BAT.

YEAH. MAYBE THAT'S A LITTLE STRONG.

HEY, LIEU.

WOMAN DROPPED A DIME ON THESE GUYS.

SAID SHE'D SEEN THEM CHASING A PUERTO RICAN KID.

SHE SAW HIM GET STOMPED?

SHE HEARS ABOUT THE HOMICIDE.

AN HOUR AGO, SHE'S LOOKING OUT HER APARTMENT WINDOW

AND SEES THESE GUYS OUTSIDE THE UCILLI.

LOUDMOUTH FRANKIE PISCIOTTA'S PLACE?

THIS WOMAN GIVE HER NAME?

NO. I SENT A RADIO CAR OVER.

SHE STAYED ON THE LINE.

CHATO'S GIRLFRIEND SAID HE'S A TAGGER

AND WAS THREATENED BY SOME ITALIANS

DOWN IN LITTLE ITALY.

LOOKS LIKE THEY QUALIFY.

RAN THEM THROUGH BCI. THEY GOT NO SHEETS.

MAYBE THEY'RE AMBITIOUS BOYS.

UNIFORM GAVE THEM MIRANDA WARNINGS.

RIGHT.

TAKE THEM TO ONE AND TWO.

WE SHOULD GET PHOTOS

IN CASE THEY WON'T STAND IN A LINEUP.

I'LL GET THE CAMERA.

DETECTIVE?

DID YOU DROP HER OFF?

WAITED TILL THE LOCKSMITH LEFT.

HOW'D SHE SEEM?

WELL, YOU KNOW. SOMEWHAT UPSET.

THANKS A LOT FOR TAKING HER.

NO PROBLEM.

APPRECIATE THAT.

SYLVIA GET HOME?

YEAH. THE LOCKSMITH JUST LEFT.

THEY SAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE THEM

CAN'T DO ANY HARM.

UH, SHE SEEMED, UH, SOMEWHAT UPSET,

ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN BE USED AGAINST YOU.

SO, WHAT'S THE ANSWER?

WHOSE CAR?

WE WENT DOWN THE OTHER WAY.

YOU KNOW ANYBODY NAMED CARLOS HERRERA‐‐CHATO?

NOPE.

WHO'S THAT?

A KID KILLED THIS MORNING

ACROSS THE STREET FROM BRUNO'S MARKET.

BEAT TO DEATH WITH A BALL BAT.

I NEVER HEARD OF HIM.

WHEN YOU WERE CRUISING,

DID YOU SEE ANYBODY GETTING CHASED OR ATTACKED?

NO.

YOU GOT NOTHING TO TELL US

ABOUT CHATO HERRERA GETTING KILLED, HUH?

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.

I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING!

WE GOT SOMEBODY

WHO SAW YOU CHASING SOMEBODY!

IT HAD TO BE SOMEBODY ELSE.

YOU'RE GOING TO SIT HERE WHILE WE TALK TO PAUL.

AND IF HE TELLS US SOMETHING DIFFERENT,

YOU'RE GOING TO BE JAMMED UP HERE.

HEY.

YEAH.

PAUL,

I DECLINE THAT.

YOU DECLINE IT?

A WITNESS SAW YOU AT AN INCIDENT.

WE'RE LOOKING TO CLEAR THAT UP.

I DECLINE THAT INCIDENT.

HE DECLINES THAT, TOO.

YOU WORK AT THE UCILLI?

HE GET PISSED OFF ABOUT GRAFFITI?

YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME? I WANT A LAWYER.

IF CRAZY FRANKIE SENT THE BUSBOYS TO BRAIN THIS GUY,

IT WASN'T YOUR IDEA.

THINGS WENT OUT OF CONTROL.

I DECLINE THAT ANSWER.

I WANT TO TALK TO A LAWYER,

AND I'M DECLINING MY ENTIRE RIGHTS.

SAY "MORON," PAUL.

PISCIOTTA BROUGHT LAWYERS.

PISCIOTTA.

YEARS AGO, THAT COKEHEAD HUMP WOULD HAVE BEEN WHACKED

BEFORE HE WAS 25.

I'M JACK PALERMO. MY ASSOCIATE JOEL FINEMAN.

MY CLIENTS ARE JERRY PANETTI AND PAUL BELLINI.

I WOULD LIKE THEM RELEASED.

WHY DO YOU GUYS ARREST THESE KIDS?

THESE ARE GOOD BOYS.

THEY TRUSTWORTHY?

PRODUCE MY CLIENTS, PLEASE.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT TAGGER?

THAT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH ME OR MY EMPLOYEES.

THAT'S NOT WHAT WE HEARD.

LIEUTENANT,

DON'T YOU HAVE HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS

ON YOUR JOB APPLICATIONS?

I HEARD THIS PR TAGGER WROTE, "JOSE'S A FAG."

HE GOT SOMEONE PISSED OFF AT HIM.

GET OUT OF HERE, PISCIOTTA.

I THINK THERE'S YOUR HOT LEAD.

LOCATE SOME JOSES.

FRANK'S PROBABLY ON THE STREET NOW,

URGING THEM TO COOPERATE.

AH.

I, UH...

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED,

BUT I WAS SPEAKING WITH HAROLD RUTANSKI BEFORE.

I DON'T KNOW WHY.

DETECTIVE MARTINEZ WAS TAKING THAT REPORT.

COME ON. THAT MAN WAS PART OF YOUR LIFE

FOR WHAT‐‐A WHOLE YEAR?

HE MAY BE PART OF IT AGAIN FOR ALL I KNOW.

YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HAROLD'S CAR, GREGORY?

IT WAS VANDALIZED.

YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?

WHAT‐‐YOU THINK MAYBE I DID IT?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.

WHAT DID I DO?

MAYBE I, UH, HUNG AROUND OUTSIDE HAROLD'S BAR

TILL THE STREET WAS DESERTED,

THEN TOOK AN ICE PICK TO HIS TIRES,

A KEY TO HIS BODYWORKS.

THAT'S HOW YOU GOT ME FIGURED?

SORRY FOR ASKING. I APOLOGIZE.

HOW COULD YOU MAKE THAT ACCUSATION?

I APOLOGIZE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK ANYMORE.

DONNA, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO UNHAPPY.

I FEEL LIKE I'M LOSING MY MIND.

PLEASE. CAN WE GET TOGETHER TONIGHT AND TALK?

THE LAST THING I WANT RIGHT NOW

IS YOU AND ME TALKING MORE.

I'LL ONLY GET MORE UPSET.

O.K. I DON'T WANT TO MAKE YOU UPSET.

[SIMONE] WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER A LINEUP THIS AFTERNOON.

WE NEED A LIST OF POSSIBLE SUSPECTS.

I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER.

[SIMONE] IF YOU COULD HAVE THEM GIVE ME A CALL...

I WANT TO SEE DETECTIVE SIMONE.

DETECTIVE SIMONE'S OVER THERE.

THANKS.

OFFICER SIMONE?

I'M JIM DeLUCCI.

YOU CONTACTED MY DAUGHTER MARIE ABOUT THE LINEUP?

YEAH. SHE'S NOT COMING IN.

SHE'S NOT POINTING THE FINGER AT NOBODY.

WE'RE INVESTIGATING A HOMICIDE.

SOMEBODY WAS MURDERED.

YOUR DAUGHTER'S IMPORTANT TO THIS CASE.

I'M NOT ALLOWING IT.

SHE SAID SHE'D COOPERATE.

I DON'T GIVE A DAMN.

SHE'S 15.

I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR HER.

YOU'RE NOT PUTTING HER THROUGH THIS.

SHE'S NOT AVAILABLE,

SHE'S NOT COMING IN FOR NO LINEUPS,

AND SHE'S NOT GOING TO TESTIFY.

I UNDERSTAND ALL YOUR CONCERNS HERE‐‐

I'M NOT STUPID.

MY FAMILY...

THEY WALK THROUGH THAT NEIGHBORHOOD EVERY DAY.

HAS SOMEBODY THREATENED YOU?

NOBODY.

BECAUSE WE CAN OFFER YOUR DAUGHTER PROTECTION.

IF SHE MAKES AN I. D.,

WE MIGHT NOT EVEN NEED HER AT THE TRIAL.

JUST FORGET ABOUT MY DAUGHTER.

SHE'S HAVING NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

JUST LEAVE HER... ALONE.

NO MORE PHONE CALLS.

NO.

NO.

THEY'RE NOT IN THERE, HUH, BRUNO?

[SPEAKING ITALIAN] HE UNDERSTANDS.

YOU UNDERSTAND MORE THAN YOU LET ON, DON'T YOU, BRUNO?

YOU UNDERSTAND FRANK PISCIOTTA?

DID COKEHEAD FRANKIE SAY,

"PICK THESE GUYS OUT AND WATCH YOUR GROCERY BURN"?

YOU WANT ME TO TRANSLATE?

NAH.

FINITO, BRUNO. YOU'RE DONE.

COME ON.

DID YOU WANT TO SEE SOMEONE?

MISTER, UH...AHEM.

THE DETECTIVE. WHAT'S HIS NAME?

SIPOWICZ?

HE CALLED ME TO COME DOWN. NAME'S HOYT.

GOT THE MESSAGE, HUH?

YEAH, I DID.

WE WANTED YOU TO LOOK AT A FEW PICTURES.

HEY, BRUNO.

H‐HELLO, MR. HOYT.

THEY GOT YOU, TOO?

NO, NO, NO, NO.

HOW'S IT GOING, WALTER?

O.K. BRUNO'S KIND OF DISTURBED, HUH?

I WAS TELLING WALTER ABOUT THE PICTURES.

YEAH. COME HERE. HAVE A SEAT.

SIT OVER THERE.

THIS IS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MORNING?

TELL US IF YOU RECOGNIZE ANY OF THESE PEOPLE.

IF SO, FROM WHERE?

THAT'S ONE.

WHERE DO YOU RECOGNIZE HIM FROM?

HE'S ONE OF THE GUYS BEAT THAT KID.

HE WAS THE ONE WITH THE BAT.

LOOK AT THESE.

THAT'S THE OTHER GUY WHO JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR.

WE'RE GOING TO ARRANGE SOME LINEUPS.

WE WANT YOU TO STICK AROUND.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?

A FEW HOURS.

I CAN'T. I GOT A NIGHT JOB.

COULD THEY GIVE YOU THE NIGHT OFF?

I NEED THE MONEY.

O.K. WE'LL SET IT UP IN THE MORNING.

DID BRUNO PICK THE SAME GUYS?

WE CAN'T DISCUSS THAT WITH YOU.

WE'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN TO COME IN.

O.K.

LISTEN, THANKS.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR COOPERATION, WALTER.

I HEARD THAT KID WAS A TAGGER.

[SIMONE] YEAH, HE WAS.

SOME OF THOSE GUYS DO INTERESTING WORK.

THIS GUY DOESN'T REALIZE

THAT PISCIOTTA WILL REACH OUT.

YEAH.

AFTER HE MAKES THIS I. D.,

WALTER MIGHT WANT TO CHECK INTO

ONE OF THEM ARTISTS' COLONIES.

IT'S NOT NECESSARY...

YOU BEING HERE, JAMES.

NO PROBLEM. I WASN'T BUSY TONIGHT.

YOU'D ONLY HAVE BEEN SLEEPING.

I MEAN, I KNOW IT'S A LONG SHOT.

YOU MIGHT GRAB THE GUY.

HE'S DONE THIS TWICE, RIGHT?

HE VANDALIZED THIS CAR REPEATEDLY.

I CAN'T STAND HER THINKING IT WAS ME.

DONNA'S NOT THINKING STRAIGHT RIGHT NOW.

I MEAN, THAT SHE WOULD THINK THAT...

THAT I COULD DEFACE THIS GUY'S AUTOMOBILE,

THAT I'D BE CAPABLE OF THAT.

YOU WONDER WHAT'S IN THEIR MINDS.

THE TRUTH IS, I...

I FEEL IT'S ME THAT'S MADE HER UPSET.

IF HER THINKING'S OFF‐KILTER,

IT'S AT MY DOORSTEP.

I'VE EXHIBITED JEALOUSY

A‐A‐A‐AND DIDN'T...

TRUST HER ENOUGH.

AND I'VE ALSO SHOWN

A LACK OF FUN IN LIFE,

AND HOW MUCH I ENJOYED OUR RELATIONSHIP.

I DIDN'T GET THAT ACROSS TO HER.

YOU'LL STRAIGHTEN THINGS OUT, GREG.

YEAH. I DON'T KNOW.

IT MAY HAVE DETERIORATED TO TOO GREAT AN EXTENT.

AH. WHY DON'T YOU GO HOME, JAMES?

NAH. I'LL HANG AROUND A WHILE, ALL RIGHT?

I WAS A SKATER WHEN I WAS A KID.

OH, YEAH?

YEAH.

OUT ON LONG ISLAND.

THAT'S ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS HER AND I DID.

ME AND DONNA WENT ICE‐SKATING.

THANKS A LOT.

THAT WAS PHIL DeNATALE ON THE PHONE.

THEY RECOVERED YOUR PURSE AND I. D.

YOUR KEYS WERE IN IT.

GOOD.

THEY'LL GET IT BACK TO YOU TOMORROW.

I WISH YOU'D EAT SOMETHING.

MAYBE LATER.

YOU'LL GET SICK IF‐‐

I'LL EAT WHEN I AM HUNGRY.

SYLVIA...

DID THIS GUY LAY HANDS ON YOU?

NO.

I MEAN, YOU SEEM SO UPSET.

MY PURSE WAS...

STOLEN ONCE BEFORE IN LAW SCHOOL.

OH, YEAH?

AND I WAS ATTACKED.

AFTER HE STOLE MY PURSE, HE...

HE FORCED ME INTO A STAIRWELL...

AND HE ASSAULTED ME SEXUALLY.

I GOT RAPED.

SYLVIA...

SO...THIS BROUGHT A LOT OF THAT BACK.

YEAH.

DID THEY CATCH THE GUY?

I DIDN'T REPORT IT RIGHT AWAY. I...

I HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH IT...

EMOTIONALLY.

IT TOOK ME SIX WEEKS TO COME FORWARD.

I'D LIKE TO KILL THE GUY.

I DIDN'T TELL YOU BEFORE,

BECAUSE I...

HATED IT SO MUCH, I...

I HATED THINKING ABOUT IT.

SURE.

I WAS AFRAID...

THAT YOU WOULD THINK OF ME DIFFERENTLY.

NO.

I THINK YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.

AND I LOVE YOU.

HEY. HEY, WHAT'S THIS?

THAT'S NOTHING.

WHEN DO YOU THINK

YOU MIGHT WANT TO CALL IT A NIGHT, GREG?

WHAT DID RUTANSKI SAY?

UH, HE LEAVES AROUND 4:00.

I DON'T KNOW IF I GOT TWO MORE HOURS LEFT IN ME.

I WAS UP LATE LAST NIGHT.

YEAH, YOU HAD THAT DRIVING JOB.

LOOKING TO PUT A FEW DOLLARS AWAY,

GET A DOWN PAYMENT FOR A HOUSE.

GO HOME, JAMES.

HOW'S IT GOING? HOW YOU DOING?

HI, DONNA.

HI, HAROLD.

YEAH, I'M GOING TO COURT WITH THOSE UNIFORM COPS.

GREG CAUGHT THAT GUY VANDALIZING MY CAR.

AREN'T YOU WALTER HOYT, THE ARTIST?

YEAH. WHERE DO YOU KNOW ME FROM?

MAYBE FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, A GALLERY OPENING, OR SOMETHING.

YEAH, I GUESS THAT COULD BE.

COME HERE, PALERMO.

KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT IN THERE.

WATCH YOUR TONE OF VOICE, DETECTIVE.

DO NOT TALK TO THAT WITNESS.

I WAS BEING FRIENDLY. I HAPPENED TO RECOGNIZE HIM.

YOU'RE TELLING HIM PISCIOTTA KNOWS WHO HE IS.

YOU DO IT AGAIN, YOU'LL RECOGNIZE MY FIST IN YOUR SMUSH.

NOW, GET BACK IN THERE.

YOU READY, SIR?

YEAH.

ANYBODY IN THIS GROUP YOU RECOGNIZE?

YEAH, I RECOGNIZE NUMBER 2.

FROM WHERE?

HE DROVE UP, JUMPED OUT,

KICKED THE PUERTO RICAN KID WHILE THE OTHER ONE USED THE BAT.

EVERYONE BUT NUMBER 2 CAN GO.

EVERYBODY BUT NUMBER 2.

PUT NUMBER 2 IN THE CAGE WITH THE OTHER GUY.

I WANT TO TALK TO 'EM.

[JAMES] COME ON, LET'S GO.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON, GUYS. RIGHT THROUGH HERE.

AM I THROUGH?

YEAH, WE'RE DONE FOR TODAY.

THEY'LL TELL YOU HOW THE REST OF THIS IS GOING TO GO.

YOU O. K.?

YEAH.

COUPLE OF DAYS, YOU'LL GO BEFORE THE GRAND JURY,

TELL HOW YOU MADE THESE I. D. s.

THE DEFENDANTS WON'T BE THERE,

THIS SHYSTER PALERMO, OR ANYBODY ELSE.

IT'LL BE YOU, THE GRAND JURY, AND THE D. A.

YEAH, ALL RIGHT.

HOW ABOUT WE PUT YOU IN A HOTEL TILL THEN?

NO, I'LL GO HOME.

HOTEL'S A PROBLEM?

I WORK AT HOME. I DO MY PAINTING THERE.

YEAH. UM...

THESE GUYS WORK AT THE UCILLI,

WHICH IS FRANK PISCIOTTA'S PLACE.

HE'S A HOOKED‐UP GUY.

WE'D BE LYING IF WE DIDN'T TELL YOU,

WELL, YOU COULD BE IN HARM'S WAY HERE,

I.D.ing THESE GUYS.

WHAT'LL HAPPEN? THEY GOING TO GUN ME DOWN IN THE STREET?

WELL, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, THEY, UH...

THEY'LL PROBABLY TRY TO REACH OUT WITH MONEY FIRST...

TRY TO GET YOU TO CHANGE YOUR STORY.

WHAT IF I DON'T?

YOU SHOULD STAY IN A HOTEL TILL THE GRAND JURY.

THEN IT'S SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE TRIAL.

AFTER THE GRAND JURY, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER RELOCATING IN THE CITY.

I WORK IN MY LOFT.

THERE'S OTHER LOFTS.

IT'S NOT A GREAT IDEA, STAYING IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD

ONCE THE INDICTMENTS COME OUT.

MAYBE I CAN GET SOMETHING IN BROOKLYN.

YEAH.

LET'S TALK ABOUT IT INSIDE.

I'LL BE RIGHT IN.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU HAVE A GOOD CHAT?

YES. NOW WE'RE DONE.

BEFORE YOU GO, I WANT YOU TO SEE OUR LAVATORY.

I DON'T NEED TO SEE IT.

IT'S A WONDERFUL LAVATORY.

TAKE A MESSAGE, ATTORNEY PALERMO.

YOU TELL FRANK PISCIOTTA FROM ME,

ANYTHING HAPPENS TO WALTER HOYT,

THAT GREASE‐TRAP HE RUNS

WILL BE FULL OF RATS. IT'LL BE BOARDED UP.

THERE'LL BE HEALTH DEPARTMENT NOTICES SLAPPED ALL OVER IT.

HE'LL HAVE STATE LIQUOR PEOPLE UP HIS ASS,

THE FIRE MARSHALS ONE DAY, THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT THE NEXT.

WITH ALL THOSE FINES, ALL YOU'LL GET IS IOUs.

ARE YOU THROUGH NOW?

YEAH. TELL THAT COKED‐OUT SON OF A BITCH WHAT I SAID.

SO WALTER'S DECIDED TO STAY AT A HOTEL.

I THINK THAT'S SMART.

I'LL MAKE A QUICK CALL TO THE D. A., GET YOU SET UP.

SO, UH...

YOU A PRETTY GOOD PAINTER, WALTER?

I THINK I AM.

WHAT KIND OF STUFF DO YOU DO?

I'M REDEFINING NEGATIVE SPACE.

UH‐HUH.

BY IMPLODING LINE.

UH‐HUH.

YOU'RE O. K.'d, WALTER.

THEY JUST NEED TO MAKE SOME NOTIFICATIONS.

HEY, UH...

BOBBY...YOU MIND IF I DON'T TAKE HIM TO THE HOTEL WITH YOU?

I WANT TO MEET SYLVIA FOR LUNCH.

SURE. BREAK BAD WITH THAT LAWYER?

ALL THE GOOD IT'LL DO.

ALL RIGHT, WALTER, TAKE A RIDE.

SEE YOU LATER, WALTER.

LIEUTENANT?

YEAH. WHAT IS IT?

UH...

I'VE GOT SOME VACATION TIME ON THE BOOKS,

AND I'D LIKE TO TAKE SOME OF IT.

IT'S YOUR TIME. THAT'S WHAT IT'S THERE FOR.

WHEN WOULD YOU WANT TO GO?

I'D LIKE TO GO IMMEDIATELY.

I'VE GOT ALL THE MONTHLY REPORTS CAUGHT UP.

THE CHIEF OF DETECTIVES

SAYS THEY'VE GOT REPLACEMENTS IN THE TEMP POOL.

I DON'T WANT TO INTRUDE, BUT IS EVERYTHING O. K.?

ANYTHING HERE AT THE OFFICE CAUSING A PROBLEM?

NO. I‐‐I JUST NEED TO GET AWAY.

ALL RIGHT. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

THANK YOU, LIEUTENANT.

YEAH.

DETECTIVE, DO YOU HAVE A MOMENT?

OF COURSE.

I THOUGHT WE'D TALK AFTER WORK.

I'M, UH...

GOING TO TAKE SOME VACATION TIME, GREG.

WHEN?

I'M LEAVING RIGHT AWAY.

UH‐HUH?

I'M NOT SURE FOR HOW LONG.

I HAVEN'T EVEN DECIDED HOW I'M GOING TO SPEND THE TIME.

SURE.

WELL, UH...TH‐‐ THERE'S NO REASON

YOU‐‐YOU HAVE TO KNOW.

I‐‐I JUST KNOW I GOT TO GET AWAY.

UM...I HAVEN'T FARED WELL IN ALL OF THIS.

I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA, DONNA.

YOU KNOW? JUST, UH, GO AWAY

FOR AN UNDETERMINED LENGTH OF TIME.

I'M GLAD YOU UNDERSTAND.

AND IF, UH...

AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE A DESTINATION...

YOU'LL FIND ONE WHEN YOU GET THERE.

DONNA, WHATEVER YOU DO...

YOU KNOW, WHEREVER YOU GO...

I WANT YOU TO KNOW...

I‐‐I JUST WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY.

IF‐‐IF THAT COULD BE WITH ME,

I THINK YOU KNOW THAT'S MY PREFERENCE.

BUT I LOVE YOU...

AND WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY...

THAT'S WHAT I HOPE HAPPENS FOR YOU.

OH...

I'LL SEE YOU SOON.

WHATEVER.

HEY. I SAW YOU AND HER TALKING.

SHE'S LEAVING.

SHE'S LEAVING?

YEAH, SHE'S TAKING HER VACATION TIME.

UH...SHE WANTS TO GET AWAY.

JEEZ, I THOUGHT WITH YOU GRABBING THAT GUY UP, YOU KNOW...

YEAH.

WELL, SHE, UH...

SHE'S LOOKING AT, UH, FINDING HER BEARINGS.

SHE MAY FIND SHE WANTS TO RESUME WITH ME,

OR SHE MAY NOT.

UH‐HUH.

DON'T LET ME GO OUT THERE.

I WANT TO‐‐ I WANT TO ASK HER NOT TO LEAVE.

IT'S THE WRONG THING TO DO.

NOT IF SHE WANTS SOME SPACE.

I WANT TO GO AND ASK HER TO STAY.

I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT FOR NOT DOING THAT.

WOULD YOU JUST LOOK OUT THERE

AND SEE IF SHE'S GONE?

SURE.

YEAH, SHE'S GONE.

GUESS SHE LEFT FOR LUNCH.

NO, NO. SHE'S NOT COMING BACK.

SHE'S, UH...

SHE'S LEFT FOR HER VACATION.

YEAH.

WHICH IS GOOD.

HOW'S IT GOING?

O.K. I'M HUNGRY.

THAT'S GOOD, 'CAUSE YOU DIDN'T EAT BREAKFAST, EITHER.

HOW'D YOUR LINEUP GO?

THE WITNESS STOOD UP. HE PICKED THE GUYS.

COULD YOU HOLD UP FOR JUST A SECOND?

WE HAVE AN OVERFLOW FROM CENTRAL BOOKING HERE.

YEAH.

DID YOU GO TO THAT RAPE TREATMENT CENTER?

THEY WERE REALLY HELPFUL.

ONE OF MY COUNSELORS IS STILL THERE FROM SIX YEARS AGO.

SO YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO START FROM SCRATCH.

OH, I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SKATE THROUGH.

A LOT OF FEELINGS WILL BE COMING BACK FOR A WHILE.

SHE SAID THERE'S A MEN'S GROUP, TOO, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED.

THINK I GOT TO DO THAT?

I THINK IT MIGHT BE GOOD.

IT'S NOT A PERPETUAL THING THOUGH, RIGHT?

NO. NOT PERPETUAL.

IT'S ONLY AS LONG AS IT'S USEFUL.

THANKS...FOR BEING HERE FOR ME, ANDY.

WHERE ELSE AM I GOING TO BE?
