[TAXI HORN BLARES]

[JACKHAMMER DRILLING]

HIS WALLET WAS ON THE FLOOR NEXT TO HIS PANTS AND JACKET.

NO MONEY, SOME CREDIT CARDS. LICENSE SAYS JAY MARKOWITZ.

MARKOWITZ FOR MEN.

I'VE SEEN HIM ON TV. "WE GOT PORTLIES, WE GOT LONGS."

HE DID HIS OWN COMMERCIALS.

YEAH? NOW WE KNOW WHAT HE DID FOR BREAKFAST.

HE PROBABLY TOOK IT FIRST.

SHE'S GOT THREE IN THE UPPER TORSO.

TWO IN THE SIDE FOR HIM, PROBABLY HEADING FOR COVER.

HOW COULD PEOPLE SCREW IN THAT RACKET?

SUPER SAID SHE'D BEEN HERE TWO MONTHS. SHE JUST GOT DIVORCED.

ASKED FOR AN EXTRA DEADBOLT,

DIDN'T WANT HER EX BUSTING IN.

GUESS IT WAS STILL ON THE SUPER'S TO‐DO LIST.

I CAN'T HEAR A DAMN THING.

WE GOT A LADDER DOWN ON THE FIRE ESCAPE.

WHERE'S MEDAVOY?

HE STARTED THE CANVASS.

HE'S TALKING TO THE NEIGHBORS.

[SIPOWICZ] GIVE ME THE LIST OF NAMES IN THE STREET CANVASS.

I'M CHECKING THE ALLEY.

[SIPOWICZ] YEAH!

MISS NOVAK, MOST OF THE OTHER TENANTS WERE OUT.

THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT WE TALK TO YOU.

I DOUBT I CAN HELP YOU.

BOY, THESE PLANT ALLERGIES I GOT ARE REALLY KICKING IN.

YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING OUT IN YOUR ALLEY EARLIER?

I DIDN'T. NO.

HERE'S OUR DETECTIVE SIMONE.

UH...

HEY, BOBBY!

I'M HAVING QUITE AN ALLERGIC REACTION.

COULD YOU FINISH UP?

YEAH. GO AHEAD. YOU O. K.?

I THINK MY THROAT'S CLOSING DOWN.

[MEDAVOY] AH‐CHOO!

HI. I'M DETECTIVE SIMONE.

JOYCE NOVAK.

WERE YOU ACQUAINTED WITH THE FEMALE VICTIM?

ALICIA GLOVER? NO, I TOLD THE DETECTIVE

I DON'T THINK I KNEW HER.

JAY MARKOWITZ?

THAT NAME SOUND FAMILIAR TO YOU?

HE WAS, UH...

VISITING MISS GLOVER.

NO.

HER APARTMENT HAD FRESH FLOWERS IN IT...

KIND OF LIKE THESE RIGHT HERE.

HYACINTH.

HUH.

SHE COULD'VE BOUGHT THEM HERE.

I JUST DIDN'T KNOW HER BY NAME.

COULD I ASK YOU A FAVOR, DETECTIVE?

WOULD YOU CHECK THE SECURITY OF MY BACK DOOR?

I LIVE HERE ALONE.

WE REALLY DON'T THINK IT WAS AN INTRUDER

THAT DID THESE CRIMES.

IT LOOKS LIKE A PERSONAL MOTIVE, BUT‐‐

EXCUSE ME, MA'AM‐‐

I'LL CHECK IT FOR YOU.

I THINK YOU'RE FINE HERE.

UHH...

IF YOU'RE WORRIED,

MAYBE A DOG MIGHT NOT BE A BAD IDEA.

PREFERABLY ONE THAT BARKS.

YEAH.

DID DETECTIVE MEDAVOY ASK IF YOU'VE SEEN

ANY UNUSUAL ACTIVITY IN THE ALLEY, ANYONE MOVING QUICKLY?

YEAH. YEAH, HE ASKED.

UH‐HUH.

BUT YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING?

NO.

ALL RIGHT.

MISS...UH, NOVAK.

IF YOU CAN REMEMBER ANYTHING THAT RELATES TO THE HOMICIDES

OR HEAR ANYTHING YOU THINK MIGHT BE HELPFUL...

I'LL CALL YOU.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

CAN I OFFER YOU SOME FLOWERS

FOR YOUR HOME‐SECURITY ADVICE?

NO, THEY'D JUST SIT AROUND IN THE SQUAD ROOM ALL DAY.

THANKS.

MALE AND FEMALE CROAKED MID‐HUMP.

DOOR WAS BROKEN DOWN. WE FOUND A SNUB‐NOSE .38

IN A PAPER BAG IN A TRASH CAN.

FIVE SPENT SHELLS, NO PRINTS.

THE MALE WAS JAY MARKOWITZ,

SOLD MEN'S CLOTHES ON TV.

"WE GOT PORTLIES, WE GOT LONGS"?

YEAH. THAT'S THE GUY.

HUH.

FEMALE WAS ALICIA GLOVER. IT WAS HER PLACE.

SUPER SAID SHE'D HAD A ROUGH DIVORCE. AFRAID OF HER EX.

WE GOT A LINE ON HIM?

ARNOLD GLOVER. ON VACATION. RETURNS TOMORROW.

MARKOWITZ HAD TWO MASTERCARDS, AMERICAN EXPRESS,

AND VISA GOLD. WE GOT CALLS OUT ON THEM.

ANYTHING OFF CANVASS?

SIX WORKMEN OUTSIDE. NOBODY SAW ANYTHING.

I INTERVIEWED THIS WOMAN... SEEMED A LITTLE HINKY.

SHE HAD A GOOD VIEW OF THE ALLEY.

I'LL TRY HER AGAIN ON RECANVASS.

YEAH? HEY, JAMES.

I SEE YOU'RE REPRESENTING THE PRECINCT

IN THE BOXING TOURNAMENT.

YEAH. I BOXED INTRAMURAL IN SCHOOL.

THOUGHT I'D TRY IT.

I BOXED A LITTLE GOLDEN GLOVES.

REALLY? YOU ENTERING?

NAH. I DON'T NEED TO BORROW TROUBLE.

WE OUGHT TO WORK OUT SOME, SPAR A LITTLE BIT.

OOH. BOP.

HA HA. HA HA.

LET ME KNOW WHEN.

I'LL REMEMBER THAT.

DETECTIVE!

HELLO!

JOHN. HOW'S IT GOING?

IS THIS THE P. A. A.'s DESK?

THAT'S IT RIGHT THERE.

JOHN IRVIN, ANDY SIPOWICZ.

GOOD TO MEET YOU.

YEAH. HOW'S IT GOING?

DETECTIVE SIMONE AND I MET AT ONE POLICE PLAZA.

IS THAT SO?

I'M TEMPING UNTIL YOUR MISS ABANDANDO RETURNS.

JOHN, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU GOT SOME SUN.

IT WENT RIGHT THROUGH THE SUNSCREEN.

THE GAY OFFICERS ACTION LEAGUE'S OPEN TO CIVILIAN ASSISTANTS.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

WE WERE IN PUERTO RICO.

15th DETECTIVE SQUAD.

ONE MOMENT.

DETECTIVE,

IT'S FOR YOU.

THANKS SO MUCH.

JOHN, I NEVER TOLD YOU

HOW MUCH I APPRECIATED YOUR SENDING THAT CARD WHEN MY WIFE DIED.

I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE CLOSE.

HOW ARE YOU DOING? I'M O. K. THANKS.

I'M ALWAYS UNSETTLED THE FIRST DAY IN A NEW JOB SITUATION.

GOOD TO SEE A FAMILIAR FACE.

YOU'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

ARE YOU O. K.?

YEAH.

WHAT'S GOING ON, ANDY?

SOME PEOPLE OWNED A CANDY STORE IN BROOKLYN.

I WORKED THERE WHEN I WAS A KID.

WENT TO SCHOOL WITH THEIR SONS.

SOMEONE STUCK THEM UP.

MOE WASN'T THERE, BUT SONJA GOT KILLED.

76‐YEAR‐OLD WOMAN. THEY SHOOT HER IN THE CHEST.

WHERE'S THIS?

UM, PARK SLOPE. THE 6‐4.

I KNEW THIS FAMILY SINCE I WAS A KID.

YOU WANT TO GO OVER? WE'RE COVERED ON THIS.

YEAH, I'D LIKE TO. THE FAMILY'S PRETTY UPSET.

EXCUSE ME.

LIEU, THAT'S THE WOMAN I WANTED TO REINTERVIEW ON THOSE HOMICIDES.

ALL RIGHT.

DETECTIVE SIMONE?

HOW'S IT GOING, MISS NOVAK?

DO YOU HAVE A MOMENT?

SURE. COME ON IN. HAVE A SEAT.

I'M NOT PROUD OF WHAT I HAVE TO TELL YOU, DETECTIVE.

WHAT'S THAT?

I WASN'T HONEST EARLIER.

I DID SEE SOMETHING THAT COULD HELP WITH YOUR CASE.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THAT IS.

I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.

I‐‐I WAS FRIGHTENED.

SURE, I DO.

I'M GLAD YOU HAD SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT COMING IN.

I WAS IN THE YARD ABOUT 9:15.

I GATHER THAT'S JUST AFTER THE MURDERS HAPPENED?

I HEARD SOMEONE RUNNING DOWN THE ALLEY.

I LOOKED UP AND SAW A MAN.

GET A GOOD LOOK AT HIM?

I THINK I GOT A PRETTY GOOD LOOK.

HE WAS ABOUT 5'11", THICK EYEBROWS,

CLEAN SHAVEN. WIDE NOSE, LIKE IT MIGHT'VE BEEN BROKEN SOMETIME.

THAT'S, UH, AN EXCELLENT DESCRIPTION.

DID YOU SEE WHAT HE WAS WEARING?

NO JACKET.

A WHITE SHIRT THAT WASN'T TUCKED IN.

AND HE WAS CARRYING SOMETHING IN HIS HAND,

A SMALL BROWN PAPER BAG‐‐

WHICH HE THREW INTO THE TRASH CAN.

DO YOU THINK THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL?

I THINK IT'LL BE VERY HELPFUL, MISS NOVAK.

AGAIN, I'M REALLY GLAD YOU CAME IN.

SHE'S GONE, ANDY.

I'M SORRY, DAVE.

DAD'S OVER HERE.

IT'S ANDY SIPOWICZ, DAD.

ANDY.

I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, MOE.

WHAT DID I TELL YOU WHEN YOU WERE A BOY,

IF SOMEONE PULLED A GUN?

EMPTY THE REGISTER.

IF THEY TAKE THE REGISTER, THAT'S FINE, TOO.

WHEN I'D LEAVE YOU IN THE STORE, DIDN'T I TELL YOU THAT?

I GUESS SONJA WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO THEM.

SHE WOULDN'T GIVE THEM THE MONEY.

THAT'S WHAT MUST'VE HAPPENED.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING.

I HAD SHORTNESS OF BREATH.

HERE'S WHAT WE GOT SO FAR.

I'M GOING TO TALK TO THIS DETECTIVE, MOE.

41 YEARS, WE WERE NEVER HELD UP.

WE KNOW THESE KIDS SINCE THEY COULD WALK.

WE'D GIVE THEM AN EXTRA SCOOP.

LATER ON THEY LOOKED OUT FOR US.

EVERY OTHER PLACE GOT HIT, BUT NOT US.

DAD, LET ANDY GO TALK TO THIS DETECTIVE.

EXCUSE ME JUST A SECOND.

WHERE'S ERNIE?

HE'S LYING DOWN. YOU'LL SEE HIM LATER.

[SAVINO] ALL RIGHT. LET ME KNOW.

WHAT DO YOU GOT? HOW'S IT GOING, DETECTIVE?

NO WITNESSES INSIDE. ONE GUY OUTSIDE

SAW A MALE EXIT IN A SKI MASK.

GET IN A CAR?

RAN AROUND THE CORNER.

GUY THOUGHT HE WAS AROUND 5'10".

CRIME SCENE LIFTED SOME PRINTS OFF THE COUNTER.

A METHADONE CLINIC'S NEARBY.

MIGHT HAVE SOME CANDIDATES.

I KNOW. I'LL CHECK IT OUT.

I SPOKE TO THE ONE SON. THE OTHER'S UNDER SEDATION.

ERNIE, YEAH.

IF HE'S UP TO IT,

I'D LIKE TO BRING THE OLD MAN IN.

WHATEVER BACKGROUND I CAN GET.

I'D LIKE TO BE THERE FOR THE INTERVIEW.

YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. WHATEVER YOU WANT.

YOU USED TO WORK IN THAT STORE, HUH?

YEAH. WHEN I WAS A KID.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT THE SON SAID.

I'LL FOLLOW THEM TO THE STATION HOUSE.

ALL RIGHT.

THIS WOMAN COULD TURN IT FOR US, LIEU.

WE FOUND OUT THE VICTIM'S EX‐HUSBAND

LEFT FOR ATLANTIC CITY TWO DAYS AGO.

MAYBE HE SLIPS BACK, POPS THE EX AND THE NEW BOYFRIEND,

HEADS BACK TO THE BEACH,

COMES BACK TO WORK TOMORROW MORNING.

DESCRIPTION THE WOMAN GAVE FITS THE EX‐HUSBAND?

GOT HIS PHOTO FROM DMV. DESCRIPTION'S ON THE MONEY.

D.A.'S COMING IN FOR A FORMAL STATEMENT WHILE IT'S FRESH.

SHE'LL LOOK GOOD TO A JURY.

MM‐HMM.

DETECTIVE SIMONE SEEMS VERY NICE.

DETECTIVE SIMONE IS A GENTLEMAN.

WE WORKED IN THE SAME BUILDING SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

HIS WIFE WAS VERY ILL,

BUT HE ALWAYS HAD A FRIENDLY WORD

WHENEVER WE CROSSED PATHS.

IS HIS WIFE BETTER NOW?

OH, NO. SHE PASSED ABOUT A YEAR AGO.

A.D.A. COSTAS. I'M HERE TO TAKE A STATEMENT.

HOW'S IT GOING?

GOOD.

THIS IS JOYCE NOVAK.

SYLVIA COSTAS.

I'D LIKE A. D. A. COSTAS TO HEAR WHAT YOU SAW.

MY OFFICE LIKES TO INTERVIEW IMPORTANT WITNESSES

AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.

I UNDERSTAND.

THAT WAY YOUR MEMORY'S FRESH,

AND WE KEEP CONTINUITY WITH THE POLICE.

THERE'S SOMETHING I DIDN'T TELL YOU, DETECTIVE.

MM‐HMM.

WELL, THAT'S FINE, WE'LL GET ALL THE INFORMATION DOWN.

IN TERMS OF WHAT IS ON YOUR STATEMENT, MS. NOVAK,

THE MAN WAS 5'10", THICK EYEBROWS, CLEAN SHAVEN,

WITH A CROOKED NOSE?

WHITE SHIRT, NO JACKET, BROWN PAPER BAG IN HIS RIGHT HAND.

YOU HAVE A VERY SPECIFIC MEMORY. THAT'S GOOD.

HOW FAR AWAY FROM HIM WOULD YOU SAY YOU WERE?

ABOUT 40 FEET.

EVER WEAR GLASSES? NO, I DON'T.

THAT'S THE "A" ANSWER.

EXCUSE ME. WHAT'S THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, MISS NOVAK?

I THINK THE MAN SAW ME.

HMM. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT?

I‐‐I KNOW HE SAW ME.

HE LOOKED AT ME AS HE RAN PAST.

I WOULDN'T LET MYSELF ADMIT IT BECAUSE IT SCARES ME.

HOW DID HE REACT? DID HE STOP, SAY ANYTHING?

NO, HE JUST KEPT RUNNING.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT COULD BE PERTINENT

THAT YOU HAVEN'T TOLD US, MISS NOVAK?

NO. THAT'S EVERYTHING.

I KNOW I SHOULD'VE SAID THIS BEFORE.

DO YOU THINK I'M IN DANGER?

I WANT TO TALK TO A. D. A. COSTAS A MINUTE.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION, MISS NOVAK.

AS THE CASE DEVELOPS,

I'M SURE WE'LL SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN.

BE RIGHT BACK.

YOU SAID ON THE PHONE SHE DIDN'T ORIGINALLY COME FORWARD?

YEAH. YOU'D THINK WHEN SHE DID COME IN,

SHE'D SAY SHE WAS SEEN FIRST THING.

THAT DOESN'T DISCREDIT HER, BUT IT DOES WORRY ME SOME.

HER DESCRIPTION OF THE BAG FITS HOW YOU FOUND THE GUN?

YEAH. PAPER BAG IN THE TRASH CAN.

LOOK, I THINK SHE'S PROBABLY RELIABLE.

SAYING SHE WAS SEEN, SHE MAY BE LOOKING FOR A POLICE GUARD.

THINK SHE'S GOT SOMEONE IN MIND?

WELL, KEEP ME POSTED.

O.K.

ALL RIGHT, MISS NOVAK, YOU'RE FINISHED FOR NOW.

WE APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME.

YOU WANTED TO DISCUSS WHETHER I WAS IN DANGER.

WHEN DID I SAY THAT?

JUST BEFORE THAT WOMAN LEFT.

OH, YOU MEAN THE A. D. A.

OH, YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

I BELIEVE YOU'RE SAFE IN YOUR APARTMENT,

BUT IF YOU HAVE A FRIEND OR RELATIVE

YOU'D RATHER STAY WITH, THAT'S FINE.

I THOUGHT...THE POLICE MIGHT GIVE ME PROTECTION.

THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

I'D PREFER IT, YES.

I HAVE NO ONE TO STAY WITH.

FINE. WE'LL GET YOU A MOTEL ROOM.

IF YOU THINK THAT'S NECESSARY.

WE'LL GET YOU A FEMALE DETECTIVE

TO STAY WITH YOU, ALL RIGHT?

AND YOU THINK THAT'S SUFFICIENT PRECAUTION?

OH, YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. THEY DO A LOT OF THIS.

WE WERE DOING MORE ON LOTTERY TICKETS THAN ICE CREAM.

SOMETIMES THERE WAS A LINE.

YOU'D THINK IT WAS RADIO CITY.

SOMEBODY WON OUT OF THE STORE‐‐

A $25,000 TICKET.

SO AFTER THAT, IT BECAME THE LUCKY PLACE.

WOULD THERE HAVE BEEN CHECKS

OR MONEY ORDERS IN THE REGISTER?

THERE'S ALWAYS A FEW MONEY ORDERS.

SO YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO TRACE?

DID YOU KEEP A GUN IN THE STORE?

JUST THE BAT BEHIND THE COUNTER.

SHE MUST HAVE TRIED TO TAKE THAT TO HIM.

THAT'S THE BAT THEY FOUND NEXT TO HER.

I HAD THAT BAT SINCE YOU SWEPT THE FLOORS.

EXCUSE ME A SECOND, MR. NEIBERG.

DETECTIVE, CAN I TALK TO YOU?

THOSE PRINTS OFF OF THE COUNTERTOP‐‐

FOUR HITS FROM VCI,

THREE GUYS WITH NARCOTICS COLLARS.

I'LL CHECK THOSE AGAINST THAT METHADONE CLINIC.

I KNOW THIS GUY‐‐ JAMES MATLOW.

WE USED TO CALL HIM JIMMY SOCKS

'CAUSE HIS FEET STANK.

DON'T REALLY FIT, DOES IT?

BAD CHECKS.

ERNIE.

HEY, ANDY, SHOULD'VE FIGURED YOU'D BE HERE.

I'M SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR MOTHER.

I KNOW.

ERNIE NEIBERG, DETECTIVE SAVINO.

I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR MOTHER.

I APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN.

SHE'S GONE, ERNIE.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

I DON'T KNOW, POP.

WHY DIDN'T SHE GIVE THEM THE MONEY?

ARE YOU DONE WITH MY FATHER?

YEAH. MR. NEIBERG, TRY AND THINK FOR ME.

NONE OF THOSE KIDS WERE MAD AT US.

IF ANYONE COMES TO MIND.

WHEN'S THE LAST TIME EITHER OF YOU SAW JIMMY MATLOW?

WHEN HE MOVED OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

UH‐HUH.

YOU REMEMBER JIMMY MATLOW, MOE?

NO.

JIMMY SOCKS, DAD.

I DON'T REMEMBER HIM.

THE KID WITH STINKY FEET.

HE DOESN'T REMEMBER. WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

THEY FOUND HIS PRINTS ON THE COUNTER.

JIMMY MATLOW? J‐JIMMY SOCKS?

YEAH.

HE WAS IN THE STORE THREE NIGHTS AGO.

I WAS WATCHING THE STORE FOR YOU, POP.

JIMMY SOCKS CAME IN.

HE STOPPED IN TO SAY HELLO.

I GOT TO GET BACK.

I'LL KEEP IN TOUCH THROUGH DETECTIVE SAVINO.

WE'LL KEEP DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ POSTED RIGHT ALONG.

THANKS FOR SEEING US THROUGH THIS.

YEAH. I'M SORRY.

I'LL CALL YOU.

MOE,

YOU BE STRONG FOR SONJA, ALL RIGHT?

THAT'S WHAT SHE'D HAVE WANTED.

SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT YOU THE OTHER DAY.

SHE SAID SHE CUT YOUR NAME OUT OF THE PAPER.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR DAD.

YEAH. HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

EXCUSE ME A SECOND.

SEE IF YOU CAN REACH JIMMY MATLOW

BEFORE THESE PEOPLE LEAVE THE STATION HOUSE.

YOU DIDN'T LIKE THE YOUNGER BROTHER'S ANSWER?

IT'S PROBABLY O. K., BUT I, UH,

I'D LIKE TO TALK TO MATLOW

BEFORE HIM AND ERNIE GET THEIR HEADS TOGETHER.

I'LL CALL YOU WHEN WE PICK HIM UP.

WANT TO HIT THE GYM, LIEU?

NO. I GOT TO GET HOME.

I'LL GET THOSE GLOVES BACK ON YOU.

GOOD NIGHT, JAMES.

LESNIAK'S SITTING ON YOUR WITNESS?

WE'LL LOOK TO GRAB UP ARNOLD GLOVER TOMORROW MORNING

WHEN HE'S BACK FROM ATLANTIC CITY.

WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF HER CHANGING HER STORY?

THE ONLY THING WAS THE GUY SEEING HER.

CHANGING HER STORY IS PRETTY BIG.

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE THIS WOMAN

WIND UP TELLING US SHE KNOWS WHERE JIMMY HOFFA IS.

THAT WOULD BE A NICE CASE TO CLEAR.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT, LIEUTENANT.

SO HOW'D IT GO TODAY?

IT WENT FINE, DETECTIVE. I FEEL VERY SETTLED IN.

THAT'S GOOD.

GOOD NIGHT, GUYS.

GOOD NIGHT, DETECTIVE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO GET TOO SETTLED IN.

NO. I UNDERSTAND MISS ABANDANDO'S EXPECTED BACK.

YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO BE USING HER CLERICAL MATERIALS

OR SO FORTH.

NO. WE'RE ALL VERY PARTICULAR

ABOUT THAT KIND OF THING.

YEAH. 'CAUSE SHE'S DEFINITELY EXPECTED BACK.

ARNOLD GLOVER?

WHAT'S UP?

THERE'S BEEN AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING YOUR EX‐WIFE.

WE'LL TELL YOU WHAT WE KNOW.

I'M NOT INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU KNOW

OR WHAT HAPPENED TO MY EX‐WIFE.

LET'S GO TO THE STATION HOUSE.

I GOT NOTHING TO SAY TO YOU.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO,

GO LIKE A GENTLEMAN OR A SKELL?

WANT ME TO CUFF YOU OUT HERE?

MY LAWYER IS DORIS KAPLAN

OF KAPLAN, MOSER, AND GARFEIN.

YEAH. WE KNOW DORIS. COME ON. LET'S GO.

COME ON.

YEAH. JUST THE SERIAL NUMBER.

THIS CAME BACK FROM FORENSICS.

HOW'D WE DO ON THOSE JUNKIES?

I'LL TALK TO THE LAST ONE.

THE OTHER TWO ALIBIED OUT.

GUY YOU KNOW'S IN INTERVIEW 2.

JIMMY MATLOW.

WE COULDN'T GRAB HIM UP TILL HE LEFT HIS HOUSE,

BUT I DOUBT HE'S TALKED TO ERNIE

'CAUSE HIS PHONE'S BEEN DISCONNECTED.

WHAT'S HE THINK IT'S ABOUT?

WE SAID HIS PLATES GOT REPORTED

IN A CAR ACCIDENT.

ANDY.

HOW'S IT GOING, JIMMY?

THEY GOT ME HERE FOR SOME TRAFFIC ACCIDENT

I DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

WELL, YOU'RE IN THIS PRECINCT NOW.

WHY DON'T YOU TALK WITH JAMES, DETECTIVE,

MAYBE CLEAR THIS UP?

YEAH. O. K.

ALL RIGHT.

HOW'S IT GOING, ANDY? HOW YOU BEEN?

O.K., SOCKS.

SOCKS.

YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON WHO STILL CALLS ME SOCKS.

I BEEN O. K. RECENTLY.

I HAD A FEW SPEED BUMPS FOUR, FIVE YEARS AGO.

THIS HERE, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

WHEN DID YOU SEE THE NEIBERGS LAST?

THE CANDY STORE PEOPLE?

GEE, IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

HOW LONG?

WHAT'S GOING ON, ANDY? WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?

ANSWER MY QUESTION.

I'M GOING TO GUESS... TWO YEARS.

IF I AIN'T HERE FOR A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT,

WHAT THE HELL AM I IN HERE FOR, ANDY?

SONJA NEIBERG GOT SHOT IN A STICKUP, SOCKS.

YOU'RE KIDDING ME.

SHE'S DEAD.

WHO HAVE YOU SPOKE TO?

MOE AND THE BOYS, THEY MUST BE SICK.

YOUR FINGERPRINTS ARE ON THE COUNTER IN THAT STORE.

ANDY, YOUR FINGERPRINTS ARE PROBABLY ON THAT COUNTER

FROM WHEN WE WAS KIDS.

THOSE PRINTS AREN'T FROM WHEN WE WERE KIDS.

SONJA WIPED THAT COUNTER DOWN EVERY NIGHT.

COME ON, ANDY. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SONJA AND MOE,

TALKING ABOUT DAVID AND ERNIE.

THESE ARE PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT.

I DON'T LIKE HOW THIS IS GOING.

I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH

AND EXPLAIN WHY I DIDN'T PREVIOUSLY.

I WAS IN THERE THREE NIGHTS AGO.

NOW LISTEN TO ME.

THIS IS WHY I WAS RELUCTANT TO SAY.

I GOT A RECORD, ANDY.

I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET IN TROUBLE.

WHY WOULD YOU GET IN TROUBLE

FOR SAYING YOU WERE IN THAT STORE?

HMM?

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

HERE'S THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

I DID STOP BY THERE THREE NIGHTS AGO

TO SAY HELLO TO ERNIE.

THAT'S HOW MY PRINTS GOT ON THE COUNTER.

WHY DID YOU STOP?

I SAW HIS CAR OUT FRONT.

HOW DO YOU KNOW HIS CAR?

OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD.

DID YOU MEET HIM THREE NIGHTS AGO

AND COME BACK YESTERDAY, SOCKS?

MY MOTHER'S EYES, I SWEAR,

I'D NEVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

YOU REMEMBER MY CATCHER'S MITT, SOCKS?

CATCHER'S MITT? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YOU REMEMBER MY NEW CATCHER'S MITT

SHOWING UP IN YOUR LOCKER?

WHY ARE YOU BRINGING THAT UP?

I NEVER KNEW HOW THAT GOT THERE.

YOU SWORE ON YOUR MOTHER'S EYES THEN, TOO.

SOMETHING HAPPENED IN THAT STORE,

AND YOU WERE INVOLVED.

LOOK IN MY EYES.

NOW YOU TELL ME. YOU ARE GOING TO TELL ME.

LET'S GET IT OVER WITH.

O.K. BYE‐BYE.

GOOD MORNING. WHERE'S DETECTIVE SIMONE?

IN THE LOCKER ROOM.

THE LOCKER'S UNISEX.

HEY.

GOOD MORNING.

SHE GOING TO A PARTY AFTERWARDS?

SHE'S KIND OF A STRANGE BROAD.

YEAH?

SHE SEEMS PLEASANT ENOUGH,

THEN YOU GET A BIG LEONA HELMSLEY HIT.

WE BROUGHT THE SUSPECT IN.

JAMES AND GREG ARE SETTING THE LINEUP.

THANKS FOR SITTING WITH HER, ADRIANNE.

NO PROBLEM.

HOW'S IT GOING, MISS NOVAK?

SO YOU BROUGHT IN A SUSPECT.

WE'LL SEE IF YOU RECOGNIZE ANYONE.

COME ON IN HERE AND HAVE A SEAT.

I'LL EXPLAIN HOW IT GOES.

YOU'RE WRONG ABOUT FLOWERS.

THEY'D BRIGHTEN UP YOUR DESK.

I'LL BRING YOU IN SOME.

SO, UH...

THERE'LL BE SIX PEOPLE SITTING IN A ROOM.

YOU'LL BE LOOKING THROUGH A ONE‐WAY MIRROR.

THEY WON'T SEE YOU.

I'LL BE THERE WITH YOU.

SO WILL MY BOSS, THE A. D. A.,

AND A DEFENSE ATTORNEY.

I'M NOT LOOKING TO COACH YOU‐‐

IF YOU DON'T START CALLING ME JOYCE, I'M GONE.

O.K.

I'M NOT LOOKING TO COACH YOU, JOYCE,

BUT I DO NEED YOU

TO UNDERSTAND THE LEGALITIES

WHERE IF A WITNESS SAYS SOMETHING

LIKE "THIS MIGHT BE THE PERSON,"

LEGALLY THAT'S AS GOOD AS SAYING "I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE ANYBODY."

NO IF, ANDS, OR BUTS?

THAT'S RIGHT.

WE SHOULD BE SET TO GO SOON.

CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING TO DRINK?

IS THE COFFEE HERE AS YUMMY

AS THAT INSTANT IN MY MOTEL ROOM?

THOSE PLACES REALLY AREN'T THE RITZ, ARE THEY?

HOW DO YOU TAKE IT?

I'LL COME WITH YOU. I'LL FIX IT MYSELF.

YOU SLEEP ALL RIGHT LAST NIGHT?

FIRST PAJAMA PARTY IN A WHILE.

DETECTIVE LESNIAK SNORE?

I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU'D KNOW.

NO. UH, WE'VE NEVER GUARDED A MATERIAL WITNESS TOGETHER.

AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO SAW YOUR SUSPECT?

I'M NOT ALLOWED TO ANSWER THAT.

I KNOW THESE PEOPLE WERE SHOT.

WOULD IT BE BETTER,

INSTEAD OF SEEING HIM CARRY A BAG,

I SAW HIM CARRYING A GUN?

DID YOU SEE HIM CARRYING A GUN?

WELL, I MIGHT HAVE

IF IT MIGHT MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU.

THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES MY JOB EASIER

IS YOU SAYING THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

DON'T BE ANGRY WITH ME.

I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP.

THAT DOESN'T HELP, MAKING THINGS UP.

YOU KNOW, I PUT MYSELF TO CONSIDERABLE TROUBLE HERE.

I KNOW YOU HAVE. I APPRECIATE THAT.

IT MIGHT BE CONSIDERABLE TROUBLE AND RISK

CONTINUING TO COOPERATE.

YEAH.

THAT'S WHY I WANT TO KEEP THIS

AS STRAIGHTFORWARD AS POSSIBLE HERE, JOYCE.

O.K.? NO EMBELLISHING ON ANYTHING. HERE.

[KNOCK KNOCK]

OH, WE GOT THE FILLERS, BOBBY.

WE'RE READY WHEN YOU ARE.

I'M NOT SURE I'M READY.

GIVE US A SECOND HERE, GREG.

SURE.

YOU WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE?

I'M NOT SURE I WANT TO DO THIS.

JOYCE, LET'S TRY AND CALM DOWN.

I'M PERFECTLY CALM.

I'M NOT SURE I WANT TO PUT MYSELF THROUGH THIS.

I TELL YOU WHAT‐‐

LET'S PUT THE LINEUP OFF FOR A WHILE.

WHY DON'T YOU AND ME GO

AND HAVE A LITTLE LUNCH,

TRY TO SORT ALL THIS OUT?

IF YOU FEEL UP TO IT AFTERWARDS,

WE CAN RUN THE LINEUP.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S SORT IT OUT.

O.K.

I'LL TALK TO MY BOSS,

AND WE'RE OUT OF HERE.

O.K. HERE WE GO.

LIEU, CAN I TALK TO YOU FOR A SECOND?

I'LL BE IN THE COFFEE ROOM.

MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS WOMAN.

SHE CHANGED HER STORY AGAIN?

SHE OFFERED TO.

I KNOW SHE SAW THIS GUY.

SHE CAN PICK HIM OUT.

I'VE GOT TO HOLD HER TOGETHER.

SO I WANT TO STALL THE LINEUP.

IF SHE'S PSYCHO,

I DON'T WANT YOU POSITIONED WHERE SHE CAN LIE.

I'VE GOT TO TAKE HER MYSELF.

THAT'S WHAT SHE'S LOOKING FOR?

I CAN HANDLE HER. SHE'S NOT THAT BAD.

LIEU,

SHE'S OUR ONLY WITNESS.

MISS NOVAK WAS SAYING THIS LINEUP'S BEEN POSTPONED?

WE'RE HAVING A LITTLE TROUBLE FINDING FILLERS,

SO I'M TAKING JOYCE FOR A QUICK LUNCH. READY?

MM‐HMM.

YEAH, THANKS.

ERNIE NEIBERG'S ON HIS WAY UP.

HEY, SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS?

DO I LOOK LIKE I WANT TO DO IT?

MAYBE I SHOULD TAKE THE INTERVIEW.

I GOT TO DO IT.

HEY, ANDY.

DETECTIVE.

HOW'S IT GOING, MR. NEIBERG?

WHAT DID YOU NEED TO TALK TO ME ABOUT?

LET'S GO IN THERE.

MY DAD'S LOUSY.

I WANT TO GET BACK AS SOON AS I CAN.

OH, YEAH? YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR DAD?

YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT HIM?

WE GOT TO FIGURE HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR DAD, ERNIE,

'CAUSE SOCKS GAVE IT UP.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? SOCKS GAVE IT UP‐‐

HIM DOING THE STICKUP,

YOU PUTTING HIM UP TO IT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

YOU'RE GOING TO STAND THERE AND LIE TO ME, HMM?

I KNOW YOU DIDN'T WANT YOUR MOTHER TO BE HURT.

YOU GET READY TO TELL ME THE TRUTH.

THEN WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT

HOW TO KEEP YOUR FATHER ALIVE

WHEN HE HEARS ABOUT THIS.

I WOULD HAVE SPRANG FOR A SIT‐DOWN.

I LIKE HOT DOGS.

THE UMBRELLA CAFE.

HMM.

LET'S GO SIT OVER THERE.

THANKS, MORRIE.

O.K.

I'M GLAD WE GOT OUT.

THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT I WANTED TO TELL YOU

THAT I REALLY COULDN'T SAY IN THE STATION HOUSE...

IN TERMS OF SOME FEELINGS THAT I MAY HAVE.

WHAT KIND OF FEELINGS?

JOYCE, WHEN I'M ON A CASE,

NO MATTER HOW I MAY FEEL ABOUT SOMEBODY

ON A PERSONAL LEVEL,

AS HARD AS THAT MAY BE FOR ME,

I'VE GOT TO PUT THOSE PERSONAL FEELINGS ASIDE.

THEY DON'T ALLOW YOU TO HAVE A PERSONAL LIFE?

IF THE DEFENSE PROVES THERE'S A RELATIONSHIP

BETWEEN A WITNESS AND A DETECTIVE,

OUR CREDIBILITY'S SHOT.

THEY MIGHT SUGGEST COLLUSION.

COLLUSION...EXACTLY.

MY BOSS, HE'S ALREADY UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT THE TWO OF US.

HE SENSES...SOMETHING.

HE'S THINKING ABOUT TAKING ME OFF THE CASE.

I DON'T WANT THAT.

I DON'T WANT THAT EITHER, JOYCE.

THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO KEEP THIS ON A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL.

THIS WHOLE THING WILL BE OVER INSIDE OF A YEAR.

SO YOU DO HAVE FEELINGS FOR ME?

I WON'T TALK ABOUT MY PERSONAL FEELINGS AT THIS POINT, O. K.?

I DON'T WANT TO PRESUME WHAT YOURS ARE.

WHILE THE CASE IS GOING ON.

WHILE THE CASE IS GOING ON.

BUT AFTERWARD?

THAT'S DIFFERENT.

THEN I CAN SAY HOW I REALLY FEEL.

ALL RIGHT.

I UNDERSTAND.

DO YOU?

YEAH.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE LINEUP?

YOU READY TO GO BACK IN?

YOU'LL BE WITH ME?

I'LL BE STANDING THERE RIGHT NEXT TO YOU.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO, ANDY?

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST PUT A BULLET IN MY HEAD.

ERNIE, LET'S GET THROUGH THIS.

SIT DOWN.

LOOK, MY FATHER WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE, ALL RIGHT?

MY FATHER WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.

HE ALWAYS SAID HE'D GIVE IT UP.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER.

"IF THEY CAN TAKE THE CASH REGISTER ON THEIR BACK,

LET THEM TAKE IT," HE SAYS.

BUT...

HE HAD PAINS IN HIS CHEST,

SO MOM MADE HIM GO HOME.

SO IT WAS HER BEHIND THE COUNTER.

SHE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHY SOCKS HAD A LOADED GUN.

TO BACK PEOPLE OFF,

AND HE SLIPPED WHEN SHE SWUNG THE BAT.

THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

THAT'S NO EXCUSE.

THERE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE VIOLENCE.

THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE THE STORE, ANDY.

I OWED SHYLOCKS.

I COULDN'T GO TO MY FOLKS AGAIN.

BUT YOU COULD ROB THEM?

4 OR 5,000 WOULD HAVE BACKED THEM OFF.

YOU GOT TO WRITE IT DOWN.

SO...

IS THIS SOME KIND OF A MANSLAUGHTER‐TYPE THING, ANDY?

SOME KIND OF AN INVOLUNTARY‐TYPE THING?

WRITE UP A STATEMENT, ERNIE.

THEY'LL FIGURE OUT A CHARGE.

NOW, ON YOUR DAD...

YOU WANT TO TALK TO HIM IF THEY'LL LET ME TAKE YOU THERE?

I CAN'T FACE HIM.

I CAN'T SEE HIM.

YOU TELL HIM WHAT HAPPENED.

YEAH. YEAH, ALL RIGHT.

BUT ON THE CHARGE...

THEY MIGHT GO FOR SOMETHING INVOLUNTARY?

DO YOU RECOGNIZE ANYONE, MISS NOVAK?

YES, NUMBER 4.

WHERE DO YOU RECOGNIZE HIM FROM?

I SAW HIM YESTERDAY AT ABOUT 9:15 A. M.

RUNNING THROUGH THE ALLEY OUTSIDE MY APARTMENT.

HE THREW A BROWN PAPER BAG INTO A TRASH CAN.

EVERYONE BUT NUMBER 4 CAN GO.

EVERYBODY BUT NUMBER 4.

I'D LIKE TO SEE MY CLIENT.

O.K., THANK YOU, EVERYBODY. YOU CAN GO NOW.

HAS DETECTIVE SIMONE WALKED YOU THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS?

YOU'LL TESTIFY BEFORE THE GRAND JURY WITHIN 72 HOURS.

YOU THINK THEY MIGHT DEAL?

THE MORE QUICKLY THIS IS RESOLVED, THE BETTER.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR FEELINGS.

YOU'LL HOLD HIM IN CUSTODY NOW?

YEAH.

I'D LIKE TO MOVE BACK TO MY APARTMENT.

I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE.

I DON'T HAVE A CAR.

CAN DETECTIVE SIMONE TAKE ME HOME?

YEAH.

HERE WE GO.

COME TO ARREST ME, ANDY,

MAKE ME GO TO THE FUNERAL HOME?

MOE, A FEW THINGS HAVE DEVELOPED.

WITH WHO KILLED HER?

JIMMY MATLOW. WE FOUND HIS PRINT ON THE COUNTER.

JIMMY MATLOW.

HE DID IT?

ERNIE'S TALKED TO ME, MOE.

HE PUT JIMMY UP TO IT.

WE HAD TO TAKE ERNIE INTO CUSTODY.

IT WAS THE GAMBLING.

IT WAS THE BETS.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT ERNIE CAME TO ME.

HE CAME FORWARD ON HIS OWN.

HE DID?

HE NEVER WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN.

WHAT'LL THEY DO TO MY SON ERNIE?

HE'S LOCKED UP.

FOREVER? HE'LL NEVER GET OUT OF JAIL?

IT'S NOT SETTLED YET, MOE.

ALL HIS LIFE PEOPLE DID FOR HIM.

THAT'S WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED.

SO IT'S NOT HIS FAULT?

BECAUSE EVERYONE DID FOR HIM HIS WHOLE LIFE,

THIS ISN'T HIS FAULT EITHER?

HE KILLED MA!

HE DIDN'T PULL THE TRIGGER.

MA'S DEAD.

DAVID, I KNOW YOU WANT TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR DAD NOW, RIGHT?

MAYBE HELP HIM LIE DOWN.

YEAH, DAD, LET'S GO HOME.

COME ON.

WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME THE KEYS?

I'LL CLOSE THE STORE.

I WON'T GO TO THE FUNERAL HOME YET.

NO ONE'S ASKING YOU

TO GO TO THE FUNERAL HOME, DAD.

I WON'T SEE ERNIE YET.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. WHATEVER YOU DECIDE.

BUT IF I DO SEE HIM...

DON'T ASK ME TO FORGIVE HIM YET.

YEAH, THIS ALL LOOKS O. K., TOO.

THANKS FOR THE RIDE.

SURE.

CAN I BE YOUR CHAUFFEUR AT THE GRAND JURY, TOO?

YOU'RE HIRED.

I'M HIRED, HUH?

YOU KNOW ONE OF MY BEST QUALITIES?

WHAT'S THAT?

I KNOW HOW TO KEEP A SECRET.

MM‐HMM?

UH‐HUH.

WE'RE HERE ALONE.

I WON'T TELL IF YOU WON'T.

WE CAN'T DO THIS, JOYCE.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU CAN TRUST ME?

NO, IT'S NOT THAT.

ACCUSE YOU OF SOMETHING IF YOU DIDN'T DO WHAT I WANTED?

YOU THINK I'D BLOW YOUR CASE?

WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING HERE.

ALL RIGHT?

NOTHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

AND I NEED FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT.

I NEED FOR YOU TO WORK WITH ME ON THIS.

I GOT TO WORK.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

I'LL WORK WITH YOU.

WE'LL FIND A WAY TO WORK IT OUT.

GOOD.

THAT'S GOOD.

DON'T GO YET.

I REALLY‐‐

NO, JUST A SECOND.

CAN I PUT THAT ON MY DESK?

THAT'S WHAT IT'S FOR.

THAT'S GREAT.

THAT'S GREAT.

SO I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER, THEN?

GOOD.

I'LL LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THE GRAND JURY.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

HOW'S YOUR BROOKLYN SITUATION?

IT'S DONE.

HOW'S OUR MANHATTAN SITUATION?

DETECTIVE SIMONE'S WITNESS

MADE AN I. D. ON THAT DOUBLE HOMICIDE.

HE'S IN THE LOCKER ROOM.

HEY, HOW'S IT GOING?

I'M GOING TO DO A 4:00 TO 1:00, MAKE UP FOR THE DAY.

THAT CASE WENT DOWN... THAT DEAD WOMAN.

THESE ARE YOUR FRIENDS IN BROOKLYN?

ONE OF THE BOYS SET IT UP.

ONE OF HER SONS.

HE SET UP A STICKUP, AND IT WENT BAD.

I'M SORRY, MAN.

THAT HOMO OUT THERE SAID YOU COLLARED UP.

WHAT A HEAD CASE MY WITNESS IS.

OH, YEAH?

YEAH.

HORNY, MEAN...

3/4 NUTS.

I TELL YOU, MEET HER ON THE OUTSIDE,

YOU'D THINK SHE WAS A CATCH.

THIS IS A GREAT JOB.

YOU GET TO SEE PEOPLE AT THEIR BEST.

IF THIS FAMILY HAD TO DEAL WITH A COP, ANDY,

THEY'RE PROBABLY GLAD IT WAS YOU.

THERE ARE FEW ENOUGH THINGS

YOU'D LIKE TO KEEP HOW THEY WERE.

THAT CANDY STORE WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THEM.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

IS DETECTIVE SIMONE GONE?

YEAH, HE JUST WALKED OUT.

HE'S LEFT.

CAN I HAVE ANOTHER DETECTIVE HELP YOU?

NO. I CAN'T GIVE THAT INFORMATION OUT.

YOU CAN TRY HIM HERE TOMORROW.

HE'S HERE FROM 8:00 TO 4:00.

ALL RIGHT.

PERSONAL CALL.
