HEY, LIEU.

YEAH, HERE WE GO.

YOU ALL RIGHT, LIEU?

FINE. LET'S GO.

YOU SURE?

I SAID I'M FINE.

COME ON. GO AGAIN?

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH. YEAH, I'M GETTING USED TO IT.

LET'S GO.

HEY, BOBBY.

HOW'S IT GOING, JAMES?

THAT FIRE LAST WEEK ON 7th STREET...

A FIREMAN DIED, RIGHT?

THE FIRE MARSHAL DECLARED IT AN ARSON.

THE M.E. MADE THE FIREMAN'S DEATH A HOMICIDE.

SO IT'S OUR CASE?

THE INVESTIGATING MARSHAL HAS AN INFORMANT

WHO CAN GET TO THE TORCH

THROUGH A BARTENDER WHO'S A LOWER END DRUG DEALER.

THE FIRE MARSHAL REACHED OUT TO THE CHIEF OF DETECTIVES

FOR AN UNDERCOVER TO BUY INTO THE BARTENDER.

THEY'RE SENDING SOMEONE OVER.

VINNY GRECO'S THE INFORMANT?

WHO SAYS?

BOGIES AT 3:00.

WHO ARE WE GETTING ON UNDERCOVER?

THE CHIEF OF Ds PUT IT TOGETHER.

GENTLEMEN!

JERRY HAUSER, FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE.

ARTHUR FANCY, BOBBY SIMONE, JAMES MARTINEZ.

HE SAYS YOU TWO KNOW EACH OTHER.

HOW'S IT GOING, VINNY?

WE'RE LIKE CHILDHOOD CHUMS.

HE SAYS HE'S GOT A WAY TO THE TORCH?

NO. I CAN GET YOU TO THE BARTENDER

WHO GOT THE TORCH BURN MEDICINE.

YOU GET THE TORCH YOURSELF.

BARTENDER'S NAME'S CURTIS CANGELOSI,

A SKELL, A SMALL‐TIME DEALER.

GOT BIG.

SO, DAY AFTER THE FIRE, I'M AT A BAR, ROSANNO'S,

WHERE CANGELOSI'S MIXING DRINKS.

I'M MAKING A DEPOSIT IN THE LAVATORY WHEN THE DOOR OPENS.

I LIFT MY FEET UP

SO THE INCOMING PARTY'S UNAWARES I'M DUMPING OUT.

IN WALKS CANGELOSI WITH THIS FELLA TONY.

TONY'S THANKING CURTIS FOR SOME BURN MEDICINE CURTIS GOT.

SHMOOZING AROUND IN THE SUBSEQUENT BACK AND FORTH,

I CAN'T MOVE THIS BARTENDER FOR MORE SPECIFICS ON TONY,

BUT I HEAR INKLINGS FROM OTHER ACQUAINTANCES

THAT THIS GUY SETS FIRES,

WHICH STRIKES ME A CREDIBLE EXPLANATION HOW HIS FINGERS GOT BURNT

AND HOW MY PATH CROSSED HERE WITH MARSHAL...

HAUSER.

YOU WANT US TO BUY INTO THE BARTENDER AND POP HIM?

FOR SOME COKE TO LEVERAGE HIM ON I.D.ing THE TORCH.

IT'S OUR HOMICIDE NOW.

WE'LL BACK UP YOUR UNDERCOVER,

THEN CONDUCT THE INTERVIEWS.

SO, UM, WHO'S THE UNDERCOVER?

SHE SHOULD BE HERE.

[FANCY] WHEN SHE GETS HERE, YOU CAN MOVE.

JAMES, JAMES.

THANKS A LOT.

HEY, YOU FELLAS WANT SOME REFRESHMENTS?

‐ HEY, WHERE YOU GOING? ‐ WHAT?

NO ON THE REFRESHMENTS.

VERY BIG OF YOU TO OFFER, THOUGH.

IF THERE'S A COIN CUP OR SOMETHING,

I'M HAPPY TO CONTRIBUTE.

YOU GET THE LICENSE OF THAT TRUCK THAT HIT YOU?

WE WERE JUST TALKING TO THE WHEELMAN.

LIEU GAVE YOU THAT SHINER?

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING ON FOOTWORK, TIMING.

IN THAT RING, IT'S LIKE WORLD WAR III.

I FEEL LIKE I'M BOXING DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE.

YOU TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT?

I'M AFRAID IF I COMPLAIN, HE'LL HIT ME AGAIN.

MORNING, SARGE.

MR. AND MRS. DELGADO.

A LITTLE EARLY, BUT WE CAN HEAD OVER.

I WANT MY WIFE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE TRIAL.

THIS ISN'T THE TRIAL. IT'S THE WADE HEARING

ON HOW YOU I. D.'d THE SUSPECTS.

MY WIFE IS AFRAID.

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

IF THESE ROBBERS WILL KILL OUR DOG JUST TO FRIGHTEN US,

WHAT WILL THEY DO TO ME IF I SAY THEY DID THE ROBBERY?

SEE, WE COULDN'T PROVE

THAT BURKE AND GALLAGHER MURDERED THE DOG.

IT WAS THEM, TELLING ME NOT TO TESTIFY THAT THEY HAD ROBBED US.

I BELIEVE YOU.

I'M SAYING WE COULDN'T PROVE IT.

I WENT AND TALKED TO THESE GUYS.

AND WE MOVED AWAY.

I UNDERSTAND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN IN TOUCH SINCE THEN.

I'M AFRAID THEY'LL HARM US.

I REMINDED HER WHAT YOU SAID

ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT THING AS CITIZENS.

BUT SHE DOESN'T WANT THESE MEN TO FIND US.

AFTER YOU'VE TOLD THEM HOW YOU MADE THE I. D. s,

IN A WEEK, THIS CASE IS GOING TO TRIAL.

I CAN PUT YOU IN A HOTEL BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.

NO, LIEUTENANT.

THIS HEARING IS PART

OF WHAT'S GOING TO PUT THESE MEN IN JAIL.

AFTERWARDS, IF YOU WANT ME TO RIDE YOU HOME...

WE HAVE A CAR.

IT'S A GOOD THING YOU'RE DOING HERE.

YOU SHOULD BE PROUD.

YOU SHOULD BE REAL PROUD OF YOUR WIFE.

YOU READY TO GO OVER THERE?

O.K.?

VAMANOS.

[SNIFFS]

[SNIFFING] WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

JOHN.

JOHN, YOU WEARING FRUIT JUICE?

I DO USE A SCENTED SOAP BY KARL LAGERFELD.

BUT I KNOW WHAT THIS LAGERFELD SMELLS LIKE.

DETECTIVE RUSSELL FROM O. C. C. B.

I'M SUPPOSED TO SEE FIRE MARSHAL HAUSER OR LIEUTENANT FANCY.

I'LL LET THEM KNOW YOU'RE HERE.

BOBBY SIMONE. I'LL BE WORKING BACKUP.

DIANE RUSSELL. WHERE CAN I CHANGE?

LOCKER ROOM'S OVER THERE.

THANKS.

MM‐HMM.

I GOT TO USE THE BATHROOM.

HOLD IT.

WHEN I TURN AROUND,

BLINK YOUR LIGHTS IF YOU CAN HEAR ME.

TAXI!

I'M GOING TO DREAM ABOUT WHERE THAT MIKE IS HIDDEN.

I DON'T NEED TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM YOU TILL WE'RE INSIDE.

ROGER, 10‐4. NO PROBLEM.

CURTIS, BOOTH ONE AVAILABLE?

HEY, VINNY.

THIS IS MY FRIEND DIANE.

SHE'S DOWN FROM STAMFORD.

PLEASED TO MEET YOU.

YOU, TOO. [SIGHS]

I'LL HAVE A BLOODY MARIA. MAKE IT WITH GOLD.

YOU GOT THAT HERRADURA STUFF? MAKE IT WITH THAT.

SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY FRIEND HERE?

I'M VERY LARGE IN CONNECTICUT.

YOUR FRIEND DESERVES BETTER THAN TO BE HERE.

YEAH, I KNOW.

I WANTED HER TO SAMPLE THE FLAVOR OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I HAVE A FAMILY FUNCTION LATER OVER ON HOUSTON STREET.

HEY, DIANE,

MAYBE CURTIS CAN HELP YOU OUT

WITH THAT QUANDARY YOU GOT.

I'M THE GUY YOU SHOULD TALK TO.

I HELP A LOT OF PEOPLE.

BARTENDERS TAKE AN OATH, LIKE LIFEGUARDS.

VINNY, I DON'T EVEN KNOW CURTIS.

WELL, HE'S A STAND‐UP GUY.

AREN'T YOU A STAND‐UP GUY?

OH, YEAH. ALL THE WAY.

YOU ASK HIM.

DIANE'S LOOKING TO SCORE SOME BLOW,

YOU KNOW, MAYBE HALF A LID.

IT'S NOT ALL FOR ME.

I TOLD MY GIRLFRIENDS I COULD GET SOME.

YESTERDAY MY GUY ZIGS WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE ZAGGED.

HE LEFT US HIGH AND DRY.

I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, IF YOU CAN'T, THAT'S FINE.

I DON'T WANT TO JAM YOU UP.

HERE.

YOU MAKE A DECENT BLOODY MARIA...CURTIS.

I'LL HAVE ANOTHER ONE.

I GUESS I CAN... MAKE A COUPLE OF CALLS.

THERE YOU GO, CURTIS.

YEAH?

YEAH.

COOL.

SEE?

NUMBER TWO.

GREAT. THANKS.

YOU SAMPLE IT?

NO. I DON'T USE.

AND, UH, HERE'S YOUR CHANGE.

IT WAS ONLY 400.

NOT GOING TO GET RICH THAT WAY, CURTIS.

THIS WAS A FAVOR.

I GET OFF AT 8:00.

HOW LONG WILL YOUR FAMILY REUNION GO?

[VINNY] WHAT AM I, UPHOLSTERY?

MAYBE I COULD BUY YOU A DRINK.

IF I GET DONE, I'LL STOP IN. YOU MADE AN IMPRESSION.

THIS HAS MY NUMBER AT THE BAR AND HOME. OKAY. THANKS.

IF IT DOESN'T WORK OUT TONIGHT,

I COULD DRIVE UP TO STAMFORD.

I KNOW A PLACE THAT MAKES A HELL OF A BLOODY MARIA.

THE MAN'S IN LOVE!

BE GOOD.

‐ I'LL SEE YOU, VINNY. ‐ HERE WE GO.

LET'S TAKE HIM IN.

CURTIS.

POLICE OFFICERS. YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

WHAT FOR?

PUT YOUR HANDS UP THERE.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT AT THE STATION HOUSE. WHAT'D I DO?

WHAT DID I DO?

COME ON. LET'S GO.

THE D. A.'s AGREED NOT TO CHARGE HIM ON THE SALE

IF CANGELOSI COOPERATES.

HE'LL DEAL.

HE SHOULD. HE'S NO HARD‐ASS.

HOW DO WE KNOW CANGELOSI'S THE WRONG GUY?

THAT'S THE INFORMATION I GOT FROM THE INFORMANT.

HE'S GOT NO RECORD.

MAYBE HE BEAT US.

HE'S NEVER BEEN ARRESTED.

RECORD OR NO RECORD, WE GOT A HOMICIDE TO CLEAR.

IF CANGELOSI'S CLEAN, HE'LL COOPERATE.

HOW ABOUT IF HE DOESN'T?

WE HUNG A FELONY ON A LEGITIMATE GUY.

LET'S NOT GET AHEAD OF OURSELVES.

I DON'T LIKE TURNING INNOCENT PEOPLE INTO CRIMINALS.

HOW MANY MODEL CITIZENS

CAN GET THEIR HANDS ON HALF AN OUNCE OF COCAINE IN 20 MINUTES?

IF HE DOESN'T GIVE THE OTHER GUY UP,

I'M NOT GONNA TESTIFY AGAINST HIM.

WELL, NOW THAT WE KNOW YOUR FUTURE PLANS,

HOW ABOUT YOU AND DETECTIVE SIMONE GO FLIP THIS GUY

SO WE DON'T WIND UP IN THAT BOX?

GO RIGHT IN HERE.

I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE TOO MANY LINES IN THIS INTERVIEW.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

WELL, YOU MIGHT PULL YOUR PIECE

AND TRY TO BREAK THIS GUY OUT.

YOU O. K.?

SO, CURTIS, LIKE I TOLD YOU IN THE CAR,

YOU CAN HAVE AN ATTORNEY PRESENT,

BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW YOU CAN HELP YOURSELF.

I'VE NEVER SOLD DRUGS IN MY LIFE.

I DON'T EVEN USE.

WELL, YOU SOLD TODAY.

I DID YOU A FAVOR.

I GET PICKED UP FOR DOING A FAVOR?

YOU CALL IT DOING A FAVOR.

WE CALL IT ONE TO THREE IN THE STATE PENITENTIARY.

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.

WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME?

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED? I'LL TELL YOU.

SHE WALKED INTO THE BAR, THAT‐‐

HER AND THAT VINNY.

WAS HE PART OF SETTING ME UP?

VINNY'S IN CUSTODY, CURTIS.

SHE GIVES ME SOME SOB STORY.

SHE NEEDS SOME COCAINE FOR HER GIRLFRIENDS.

I GUESS VINNY WAS TRYING TO DO HER A FAVOR.

I MAKE A PHONE CALL.

SHE WANTS ME TO GO WITH HER 'CAUSE SHE'S SCARED.

SHE WANTS ME TO TAKE THE MONEY AND GIVE IT TO THE GUY.

I DON'T TAKE A CENT. I GIVE HER 100 CHANGE

'CAUSE I'M SUCH A BIG DEALER?

AND I WALKED AWAY.

THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENED. THAT'S A FELONY.

ALL RIGHT, YOU HELP US OUT,

MAYBE...MAYBE WE'RE IN A POSITION TO HELP YOU.

MAYBE YOU'RE LOOKING AT A SUSPENDED SENTENCE.

COME ON, SIT DOWN.

HELP YOU OUT HOW? WE'RE LOOKING AT A GUY WHO COMMITTED A CRIME

THAT RESULTED IN A DEATH.

WHAT GUY?

YOUR FRIEND TONY WHO HAD HIS HAND BURNED.

TONY MEDICI?

HE SELLS MINI‐BLINDS.

WHEN HE GOT YOU TO BRING HIM SOME BURN MEDICINE,

TONY GOT HIS HANDS BURNED TORCHING A BUILDING.

A FIREMAN DIED.

THAT'S MURDER. THAT'S WHAT YOUR FRIEND TONY DID.

HE SAID IT WAS A HOT‐WATER HEATER.

GET TONY TALKING ON TAPE ABOUT THE FIRES HE SET.

THAT'S YOUR WAY OUT.

I'M NOT GOING TO SET UP A FRIEND OF MINE.

THAT'S WHAT YOU DO, NOT ME.

YOU'RE IN A SITUATION.

YOUR WAY OUT IS TO COOPERATE.

IF IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS TONY DIDN'T DO IT

AND YOU COOPERATED SO WE COULD FIND OUT,

YOU'D STILL BE LOOKING AT A WALK.

I'M GONNA GIVE YOU SOME TIME TO THINK.

WANT SOMETHING TO EAT?

I'LL GET YOU SOMETHING.

I'M GOING TO RAY'S. YOU WANT SOMETHING?

I WANT THEIR ENTIRE MENU,

BUT THE ANSWER'S NO.

I GOT TO LOSE A COUPLE OF POUNDS FOR THIS WEDDING.

DETECTIVE, LINE TWO.

[CLEARS THROAT]

SIPOWICZ.

ALL RIGHT. TAKE IT EASY, MR. DELGADO.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

JAMES...

THOSE SONS OF BITCHES GRABBED THAT WOMAN.

[NO AUDIO]

THAT'S MY WIFE! [SOBBING]

HERE YOU GO.

COME ON.

YOU GONNA TELL IF I HAVE ANOTHER WINE COOLER?

I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.

I DON'T MEAN TO PUT YOU IN A POSITION.

YOU'RE NOT.

HOW LONG YOU BEEN DOING THIS?

UH, THREE YEARS.

I USED TO WORK UNDERCOVER.

JUST FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AT A TIME.

I KNOW IT'S A LOT DIFFERENT

WHEN YOU HAVE A PERMANENT ASSIGNMENT.

IT GRINDS...

BEING UNDER ALL THE TIME.

YEAH.

I DIDN'T MIND TAKING DOWN THE BAD GUYS.

EVEN THE ONES I LIKED, I TOOK THEM DOWN, TOO.

BUT THEN, AFTER A WHILE, YOU START ASKING YOURSELF...

HOW MUCH OF WHAT THESE GUYS HAVE DONE IS MY DOING?

WOULD THEY EVEN BE HERE

IF I DIDN'T PUT THEM HERE?

[SIGHS] I DON'T KNOW.

AND THEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

A TOTALLY LEGITIMATE GUY‐‐

NO. I THINK THIS GUY IS NOT GONNA GO DOWN.

SERIOUSLY, I THINK HE'S GOING TO HELP US OUT.

WELL, IF HE DOES, HE'S GOING TO HELP ME, 'CAUSE...

I'LL GO ON SUSPENSION

BEFORE I GO ON THE WITNESS STAND AGAINST THIS GUY.

ENOUGH'S ENOUGH.

WE SHOULD GET BACK.

YEAH.

HAVE A SEAT.

HAVE A SLICE.

NO. I CAN'T EAT.

YOU AND THIS TONY GO WAY BACK, HUH?

WE WERE KIDS IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD.

WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HIM BEFORE,

IT REMINDED ME OF THIS BUDDY OF MINE‐‐ GUY FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE WERE TIGHT WHEN WE WERE KIDS.

A COUPLE MONTHS BACK, HE GETS ALL JAMMED UP.

SO I HELP HIM OUT.

A WEEK LATER, HE'S IN ANOTHER JAM.

CURTIS,

I HAD TO REALIZE HE WASN'T THE KID I KNEW ANYMORE.

I'M NOT GOING TO WEAR A WIRE.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT.

WE ALL WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

HOW'S WHAT YOU DID TO ME THE RIGHT THING?

WE CAN ALL DISAGREE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

BUT THIS DOESN'T HAVE TO END UP WITH YOU IN JAIL.

WE'RE DOING WHAT WE CAN

TO SEE THAT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

BUT I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT SOMETHING.

AN INNOCENT MAN WAS KILLED IN THIS FIRE.

HE DIED DOING HIS JOB.

NOW, THIS BUDDY OF YOURS‐‐TONY‐‐

HE SAID HE GOT BURNED ON SOME HOT‐WATER HEATER?

YOU BELIEVE THAT?

YEAH, I DO.

MM‐HMM. IF YOU WENT AND TALKED TO HIM

AND WOUND UP FEELING DIFFERENT

ABOUT THE WAY HE GOT THOSE BURNS,

I WOULD EXPECT YOU TO FEEL DIFFERENT ABOUT US.

I'M NOT SAYING WEAR A WIRE OR GIVE HIM UP.

BUT YOU MIGHT THINK DIFFERENTLY

ABOUT GIVING UP AN ADDRESS.

ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU WALK OUT THAT DOOR,

AND YOU HAPPEN TO SEE TONY,

AND YOU'RE CONVINCED HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS,

I WOULDN'T EXPECT TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHEN I WALK OUT THAT DOOR?

ARE YOU LETTING ME GO?

YOU HAVEN'T BEEN CHARGED.

I'M NOT SAYING THEY WON'T FILE LATER ON,

BUT RIGHT NOW YOU'RE FREE TO GO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT EXACTLY YOU WANT.

I WANT YOU TO DO

WHAT YOUR CONSCIENCE TELLS YOU TO DO.

YOU DON'T WANT THAT PIZZA, YOU'RE FREE TO GO.

THAT TOOK GUTS.

TOOK A SHOT, RIGHT?

HOW DO YOU LET THAT GUY WALK?

DON'T YOU WANT HIS BUDDY?

WE HAD LEVERAGE.

NO. WE HAD SQUAT.

YOU BACK HIM UP AGAINST THE WALL,

HE'D DO TIME BEFORE HE GIVES UP HIS FRIEND.

I KNOW YOU LOST ONE OF YOUR OWN.

THIS IS HOW WE SHOULD PLAY IT.

THIS GUY DOESN'T COME BACK,

WE CAN STILL REINSTATE CHARGES.

YOU LET ME KNOW WHAT BREAKS.

ABSOLUTELY.

[SIGHS]

WHY DON'T WE GET A BEER?

THEN I CAN DECIDE HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOUR SAVING MY CAREER.

UM...

CAN YOU GIVE ME A HAND?

YEAH. EXCUSE ME. WHAT'S UP?

MARTINEZ AND ME FOUND THE DELGADO WOMAN'S BODY ALL BURNT UP.

HER TEETH WERE SNAPPED OUT,

AND HER FINGERTIPS WERE CUT OFF.

IT WAS BURKE AND GALLAGHER‐‐

THOSE BASTARDS SHE WAS GONNA TESTIFY AGAINST GRABBED HER UP.

YOU WANT TO GO SIT ON THEIR HOUSES?

YEAH. ANOTHER TIME, HUH?

NO PROBLEM. NICE WORKING WITH YOU.

YEAH.

GIVE ME A SECOND. I'M GOING TO TAKE A PISS.

I HAD HER HUSBAND MAKE HER TESTIFY.

THAT WAS HER DUTY AS A CITIZEN.

THANKS FOR GOING OUT THERE.

NO PROBLEM.

DO YOU NEED HELP ON THESE INTERVIEWS?

NO. I KNOW THESE GUYS FROM WORKING UP THE ORIGINAL CASE.

ALL RIGHT.

YEAH. I HAVE‐‐

MORNING, MARSHAL.

SINCE WE CAN'T GET TO THE TORCH THROUGH THE BARTENDER,

LET'S SET UP A CIRCUMSTANTIAL ARSON‐FOR‐PROFIT CASE

AGAINST THE BUILDING OWNER.

I WOULDN'T QUIT ON THE TORCH, OR GIVE UP ON THIS BARTENDER.

I'M NOT COUNTING ON THE BARTENDER,

AND I FOUND MY WAY TO THE TORCH.

THE BUILDING'S OWNER IS MARTIN LASKY.

I RAN A TRW CHECK, DOCUMENTING ALL FIRE LOSSES CLAIMED BY LASKY

IN OTHER FIRES OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS.

I RECHECKED LAST NIGHT.

ANOTHER BUILDING IS A JOINT OWNERSHIP WITH A GUY NAMED LEO MEDICI.

THIS TONY'S HIS NEPHEW.

MY GUYS ARE TRYING TO PICK HIM UP.

I RAN A BCI CHECK ON TONY.

HE'S GOT NO RECORD.

YOU DON'T THINK HE'S THE TORCH?

I'M JUST GIVING YOU SOME INFORMATION.

LET'S GET SOME COFFEE.

NO, IT'S O. K.

I KNOW WHERE IT'S AT.

MORNING, JOHN.

HEY.

CAN YOU, UM...

CAN YOU GET ME THAT O. C. C. B. NUMBER?

SURE.

ONE SECOND.

HEY.

HOW'S IT GOING? ALL RIGHT.

I THOUGHT YOU'D BE WORKING ON SOMETHING ELSE.

MY BOSS THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT ME TO MAKE ANOTHER BUY.

THAT'S WHAT I TOLD HIM.

HAVE A SEAT.

UM...

LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE ANOTHER WAY

OF GETTING TO THIS TORCH.

BUT IF CURTIS DOESN'T COME BACK?

YOU STILL WANT THAT O. C. C. B.‐‐

NO, JOHN. THANKS.

YOU KNOW SOMEONE ELSE AT O. C. C. B.?

NO.

JUST YOU.

THAT FEMALE UNDERCOVER'S GOT SOME MOXIE, HUH?

YEAH. YEAH.

I'D BE HAPPY TO PICK HER UP

IF THEY LET HER OUT OF HER DETAIL.

CHECK WITH HER COMMAND.

SHE'S HAD A 57 IN FOR A WHILE,

TRYING TO GET OUT OF UNDERCOVER.

I'LL CHECK WITH THE CHIEF OF Ds.

SEE IF IT'S GOT TO BE A ONE‐FOR‐ONE.

I GOT HIM IF YOU WANT TO GO CHANGE.

THANKS, GREG.

YEAH. NO PROBLEM.

STAND UP.

HOW'D YOU GET THAT MUD ON YOUR CLOTHES?

THIS? I DON'T KNOW.

GET YOUR CLOTHES OFF.

GET YOUR CLOTHES OFF,

AND PUT THEM ON THAT CHAIR.

PANTS, TOO.

THE POLICE LABS ARE GOING TO ANALYZE THAT DIRT.

THEY'LL PINPOINT EXACTLY WHERE IT COMES FROM.

IF IT COMES FROM WHERE THAT WOMAN GOT BURNED...

NO.

DID GALLAGHER KILL THAT WOMAN'S DOG?

THAT'S A SEPARATE MATTER.

THERE'S NO CHARGES ON THAT. TELL ME THE TRUTH.

NO. NO‐‐ DID GALLAGHER KILL THAT DOG TO FRIGHTEN THE DELGADOS

SO MRS. DELGADO WOULDN'T TESTIFY

ON SEEING YOU GUYS ROB HER HOUSE?

NO.

I'M GIVING YOU A CHANCE TO HELP YOURSELF.

DID GALLAGHER KILL THAT WOMAN LIKE HE KILLED THAT DOG

TO STOP HER FROM TESTIFYING AGAINST HIM IN THE TRIAL?

NO. HE DIDN'T DO IT.

WE WASN'T SCARED OF NO TRIAL.

WHO TOLD YOU NOT TO BE SCARED, HUH?

IT WASN'T GALLAGHER.

IT WAS GALLAGHER!

YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING HE TELLS YOU,

AND YOU WOULD DO EVERYTHING HE TELLS YOU.

I DON'T ALWAYS DO WHAT HE TELLS ME.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAID NO?

NEV‐NEVER MIND.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, BURKE.

YOU AND I BOTH KNOW GALLAGHER IS SMART.

AND BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS TO GALLAGHER,

IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU.

HE'LL SET YOU UP TO BE A PATSY ON THIS.

BEFORE THAT HAPPENS,

YOU HAD BETTER GET SOME SMARTS OF YOUR OWN.

YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS ABOUT, RIGHT?

I'M NOT SAYING NOTHING 'CAUSE I HAVEN'T DONE NOTHING.

IT'S ABOUT WHAT YOUR FRIEND BURKE DID.

I DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THAT.

I'M OPENING THE DOOR FOR YOU, GALLAGHER.

YOUR FRIEND'S GOT HALF A BRAIN.

YOU SEEM SMART ENOUGH TO STEP THROUGH THE DOOR I'M OPENING FOR YOU.

AND WHAT DOOR IS THAT?

BURKE HAD DIRT FROM THE LOT

WHERE THAT WOMAN GOT BURNED

ALL OVER HIS CLOTHES.

WE KNOW WHAT HE DID TO THAT WOMAN,

AND WE KNOW YOU WERE WITH HIM.

I HAVEN'T SEEN BURKE.

I GOT EVIDENCE PUTTING YOU AT THE SCENE

WHERE MRS. DELGADO GOT MURDERED.

A WITNESS SAW YOU AND BURKE SHOVE HER IN A CAR.

DIDN'T SEE ME.

I HAVEN'T SEEN BURKE.

LISTEN TO ME.

I LOOK AT YOU, AND I LOOK AT BURKE.

BURKE'S GOT THAT DIRT ALL OVER HIS CLOTHES.

YOU GOT NO DIRT AT ALL.

WHO DO YOU THINK I THINK DID THIS CRIME?

IF YOU KNOW HE DID IT, WHAT DO YOU NEED ME FOR? I NEED A WITNESS.

YOU WANT ME TO BE A WITNESS TO WHAT BURKE DID.

DID YOU SEE HIM KILL HER?

I'M TRYING TO SAVE YOUR LIFE.

YOU THINK I'M A MORON LIKE HIM?

YOU THINK I'D PUT MYSELF AT THE SCENE?

AS A WITNESS.

I'M ASKING FOR A WITNESS STATEMENT, NOT A CONFESSION.

A WITNESS STATEMENT.

SURE.

LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT ACTING IN CONCERT MEANS.

LIKE I DON'T KNOW JUST BEING THERE

PUTS ME AWAY, TOO.

I'M DEALING WITH A REAL FIRST‐RATE MIND, AREN'T I?

YEAH...

GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU.

HEY, JAMES, CAN I TALK TO YOU?

SURE.

I'M GOING TO TAKE A PASS ON SPARRING TONIGHT.

IN FACT, MY SCHEDULE'S GETTING PRETTY CROWDED.

WE'D BETTER PASS ON WORKING OUT TOGETHER.

ALL RIGHT. IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.

THANKS FOR WORKING OUT WITH ME.

SORRY THINGS GOT ROUGH A FEW TIMES.

WE'RE DIFFERENT WEIGHT CLASSES.

YOU PROBABLY DON'T REALIZE YOUR OWN STRENGTH.

I SOMETIMES FELT LIKE

YOU GOT A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY.

I DON'T DISAGREE.

I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD KEEP SPARRING.

NO PROBLEM.

HEY, JAMES.

YEAH?

YOU NEED A MANAGER?

OH, DETECTIVE, THERE'S A CURTIS CANGELOSI DOWNSTAIRS.

HE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU. 15th DETECTIVE SQUAD. CAN I HELP YOU?

HEY, WHERE WERE YOU?

CANGELOSI.

HOW'S IT GOING, CURTIS?

YEAH. I'M BACK. AND I TALKED WITH MY FRIEND.

LET'S TALK UPSTAIRS.

AM I UNDER ARREST?

NO. WE JUST WANTED TO HEAR WHAT YOU GOT TO SAY, THAT'S ALL.

YOU'RE ALL SO WRONG. ALL THE GRIEF YOU PUT ME THROUGH WAS FOR NOTHING.

WHAT DID TONY SAY?

HE WAS THERE, PULLING DOORS OPEN,

YELLING FOR PEOPLE IN THE APARTMENT NEXT‐DOOR TO GET OUT.

WHY'D HE TELL YOU HE GOT BURNED BY A WATER HEATER?

HE DIDN'T TELL ME HOW HE GOT BURNED.

HE JUST SAID HE HAD AN ACCIDENT.

I MADE IT UP ABOUT THE WATER HEATER.

WHY DIDN'T HE TELL YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT THOSE BURNS?

MAYBE HE DIDN'T JUST HAPPEN BY THE CRIME AT ALL.

MAYBE HE WAS THERE

WITH HIS GASOLINE CAN LIKE HIS UNCLE ASKED.

THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED.

THIS GUY'S MY FRIEND,

AND HE EXPLAINED WHAT HE WAS DOING THERE.

CURTIS...

WHAT DID HE SAY

WHEN YOU TOLD HIM WE'D BEEN TALKING TO YOU?

THAT'S WHEN HE EXPLAINED.

AND AFTER THE RIDE YOU PEOPLE GAVE ME,

I UNDERSTAND WHY HE DIDN'T GO NEAR YOU.

NOW, YOU FILING CHARGES AGAINST ME?

NO. NO ONE'S FILED CHARGES AGAINST YOU YET, CURTIS.

THANKS FOR YOUR COOPERATION.

I'M OUT OF HERE.

BACK HERE AGAIN, HUH?

YEAH. I TOLD THEM, TONY. I TOLD THEM WHY YOU WERE THERE.

YEAH, RIGHT. RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, THANKS, GUYS.

I'M DETECTIVE SIMONE, TONY.

THIS IS FIRE MARSHAL HAUSER, DETECTIVE RUSSELL.

YOUR NAME HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP IN AN INVESTIGATION

‐ INTO A FIRE LAST WEEK ON 7th STREET. ‐ IN WHAT REGARD?

‐ YOUR UNCLE LEO, HE'S THE OWNER OF THAT BUILDING? ‐ NO.

‐ HE'S PARTNERS WITH MARTIN LASKY. ‐ SO WHAT?

WE GOT YOU AT THE SCENE,

LEAVING AT THE TIME THE FIRES BROKE OUT.

YOU GUYS BROUGHT BACK CURTIS CANGELOSI AGAIN, HUH?

YOU THE GIRL HE TRIED TO HELP OUT WITH THAT SODA PROBLEM?

‐ LISTEN, TONY‐‐ ‐ WHAT ARE YOU TRYIN' TO DO TO THIS POOR MUTT, HUH?

THAT "MUTT" STOOD UP FOR YOU.

HE EXPLAIN WHY I WAS THERE?

OH, YEAH. YOU WERE WALKING BY YOUR PART‐OWNER UNCLE'S BUILDING

WHEN IT JUST HAPPENED TO CATCH ON FIRE.

YOU BURNED YOUR HANDS TRYING TO GET PEOPLE OUT.

THAT MAKES ME A BAD GUY?

NOT A BAD GUY. JUST A BAD ARSONIST.

THAT FIRE MUST'VE GONE UP BEFORE YOU WERE READY.

ALL RIGHT. HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED.

ONE TIME.

I'M STANDING OUT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE,

WHICH WAS DOWNWIND THAT NIGHT. I SMELL SMOKE.

I SEE FLAMES. I GET OVER THERE AS QUICK AS I CAN,

TRY TO HELP PEOPLE OUT.

WITH ALL THAT HEROIC CONDUCT,

YOU COULD'VE HELPED OUT ON THAT INVESTIGATION.

I DIDN'T SEE NOTHING. BY THE TIME I GET THERE, THE PLACE IS HALF GONE.

HOW IS IT YOU GOT YOUR HANDS BURNED, TONY...EXACTLY?

I FELL DOWN AFTER I KICKED DOWN A DOOR. HIT SOMETHING.

NOT BY DROPPING A MATCH INTO A POOL OF GASOLINE?

LOOK... I COME DOWN HERE WITH THOSE GUYS,

THOUGHT MAYBE I COULD HELP.

I CAN SEE THAT WON'T BE THE CASE.

WAIT. WHERE YOU GOING?

WHAT, AM I UNDER ARREST?

NO. GET OUT OF HERE.

YOU WANT SOMETHING TO EAT NOW, BURKE?

THEY GET YOU DOWN THERE,

IT MIGHT BE A WHILE BEFORE YOU'RE NEAR ANY FOOD.

DOWN WHERE?

COME ON, BURKE.

GALLAGHER DID JUST WHAT WE KNEW HE WAS GONNA DO.

HE GAVE YOU TO US ALL THE WAY.

I'LL TELL YOU, HE'S GOT A NICE EYE FOR DETAIL...

HOW YOU CUT OFF THE DOG'S HEAD AND PUT IT ON THEIR PORCH

WITH HIM ASKING YOU NOT TO...

CHOPPING OFF THAT WOMAN'S FINGERS

WHILE SHE WAS STILL ALIVE, KNOCKING HER TEETH OUT

WHILE SHE'S SCREAMING ALL THE TIME FOR MERCY‐‐

NO, L‐‐

THAT'S HEADLINE STUFF, BURKE.

THAT'S GONNA EARN YOU AN INJECTION,

COURTESY OF MY HERO GOVERNOR PATAKI. HE'S LYING!

THEY DO IT BY INJECTION NOW‐‐ LIKE AT THE VET.

HE'S LYING! WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. WAIT.

IF I KNOCKED HER TEETH OUT,

YOU SHOULD ASK GALLAGHER

WHY HE'S GOT THAT LADY'S GOLD TEETH IN HIS APARTMENT!

WHERE IN HIS APARTMENT?

HE KNOCKED HER TEETH OUT,

AND HE HAS THEM IN A COFFEE CAN.

LIEUTENANT.

THAT HALF‐WIT BURKE SAYS MRS. DELGADO'S TEETH

ARE OVER AT GALLAGHER'S APARTMENT.

THAT WOULD GIVE US ENOUGH CORROBORATION TO ARREST.

I'M GOING TO GET A SEARCH WARRANT AUTHORIZATION.

I UNDERSTAND. WHATEVER YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME ON THIS.

O.K. I GOT TO GET BACK TO YOU.

HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON, CURTIS?

I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING, ALL RIGHT?

SURE. SIT DOWN. I'M GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I WANT YOU TO TELL TONY MEDICI SOMETHING.

ASK HIM A QUESTION. WHAT'S THAT?

WHAT? WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO ASK HIM?

YOU ASK HIM THIS. YOU ASK HIM‐‐

YOU ASK HIM‐‐ MAYBE I AM A LOSER.

MAYBE I'M NEVER GONNA BE ANYTHING MORE THAN A BARTENDER.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE

WHERE A LOSER LIKE ME MAKES DRINKS, RIGHT?

BUT YOU ASK HIM THIS.

A‐‐ I NEVER THREATENED A FRIEND... OR CALLED HIM A MORON

OR TOLD HIM THAT HIS LIFE WAS GARBAGE.

DID TONY COME TO SEE YOU?

BECAUSE I DON'T HAPPEN TO THINK THAT MY LIFE'S A WASTE...

IS‐‐IS NUMBER ONE.

I MEAN, IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS

THAT‐‐THAT I DON'T ALWAYS SEE EVERY ANGLE, RIGHT?

I DIDN'T REALIZE YOUR PRETTY LADY FRIEND WAS A COP, RIGHT?

I TRIED TO HELP HER AND GOT HUNG UP FOR THAT.

AND NOW I GET CALLED A $5.00‐AN‐HOUR LOSER

AND TOLD THAT I GOT TO LEAVE TOWN

BECAUSE I TRIED TO DO SOMEBODY A FAVOR

AND HE THINKS I'M TRYING TO JAM HIM UP? SCREW HIM AND NEW YORK.

WHAT HAPPENED? DID HE THREATEN YOU?

I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I'VE BEEN IN SEVERAL CITIES I LIKE AS GOOD AS NEW YORK,

WITH BETTER WEATHER.

AND YOU TELL HIM...

YOU TELL HIM... IF I'M SUCH A LOSER,

HOW COME I'M GONNA BE TENDING BAR SOMEPLACE WHERE HE CAN'T FIND ME

AND HE IS WHERE HE IS BECAUSE OF WHAT HIM AND HIS UNCLE DID?

CURTIS... WHAT DID HE SAY?

LET'S JUST SAY THAT, UM...

I DON'T REALLY BELIEVE THAT HE WAS THERE BY ACCIDENT.

HIS UNCLE WASN'T OUT OF TOWN.

THIS TIME HE SAID HIS UNCLE NEARLY DIED IN THAT FIRE.

HE SAVED HIS UNCLE'S LIFE.

‐ THAT'S GONNA HELP US, CURTIS. ‐ I DON'T WANNA HELP ANYBODY.

THAT'S HOW I GET IN TROUBLE.

WHAT WAS THAT?

THAT TORCH'S UNCLE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUT OF TOWN?

IT'S HEARSAY, BUT OUR BARTENDER'S GOT HIM IN TOWN

AT THE FIRE WITH HIS HANDS BURNED.

GOT THE UNCLE'S ADDRESS?

YEAH.

LET'S PICK HIM UP.

I READ ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU IN BOOKS.

EVIL GENIUSES.

I'M GONNA TELL YOU THE TRUTH. I WALKED OUT OF HERE,

WENT TO THE LAVATORY AND WEPT.

THAT'S HOW CONFUSED YOU HAD ME.

I'D BE TRYING TO MOVE YOU, I'D COME AROUND THE CORNER,

AND THERE YOU WERE, SEVEN STEPS AHEAD OF ME.

WHEN AM I GETTING OUT?

NO. YOU DON'T GET OUT.

YOU DON'T GET OUT, GALLAGHER.

THEN I WANT A LAWYER.

ABSOLUTELY. I'M GOING TO GET YOU

ONE OF OUR TOP LEGAL AID GUYS

WITH GRAVY STAINS ON HIS SHIRT.

AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO SAY A WORD

OR IN ANY WAY JEOPARDIZE YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS,

BECAUSE A FELLA LIKE YOU, HUH?

THAT'LL MURDER AND BURN A WOMAN...

CUT THE HEAD OFF HER DOG,

KNOCK HER TEETH OUT,

CUT HER FINGERS OFF

SO SHE WON'T SAY HOW YOU BROKE INTO HER HOUSE,

WHERE HER AND HER HUSBAND ARE TRYING TO LIVE A DECENT LIFE...

A GREAT MAN LIKE YOU, GALLAGHER,

A HUGE GENIUS, TO ONLY BE TRIPPED UP BECAUSE,

BESIDES BEING A SCUMBAG PSYCHO,

YOU'RE A CHEAP PIECE OF CRAP,

AND YOU KEEP THIS POOR WOMAN'S GOLD TEETH

IN AN OLD COFFEE CAN!

I WANT YOU TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF OUR LEGAL RESOURCE!

NOW, YOU UTTER NO WORD UNTIL YOUR LAWYER GETS HERE.

ALL I WANT YOU TO DO IS TO STARE AT THIS TOOTH

THAT YOU GOUGED OUT OF THIS WOMAN'S MOUTH.

ARE YOU LOOKING AT THIS, GALLAGHER, HUH?

GALLAGHER, ARE YOU LOOKING AT THIS?

DO NOT SAY ONE WORD.

YOU JUST NOD YOUR HEAD.

ARE YOU LOOKING AT IT, GALLAGHER?

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

OHH...

I'M GOING TO GET A MIGRAINE TONIGHT

'CAUSE I DIDN'T BEAT YOU.

[DROPS TOOTH IN CAN]

HEY, BOBBY.

NEED ANY HELP WITH THE ON‐LINE BOOKING REPORT?

NO, THANKS. I'M ALMOST DONE HERE.

TAKING OFF?

YEAH, I THINK SO.

YEAH, I'M GONNA TAKE OFF AS SOON AS I FINISH HERE.

WAIT TEN MINUTES, MAYBE WE CAN GRAB DINNER TOGETHER.

SURE. I GOT TEN MINUTES.

GREAT.

ALL RIGHT.

WHY AM I SITTING HERE?

DO YOU REALIZE HOW FAR BACK I GO WITH THIS GUY?

HE SAID YOU WAIT.

SINCE BEFORE YOU GOT YOUR TUSHY PINCHED, THAT'S HOW FAR BACK.

DO I HAVE YOU THROWN OUT? I'M SORRY.

VINNY, IN THE HALL.

LIEUTENANT, PLEASE. YOU DO ME THE COURTESY HERE.

I UNDERSTAND THERE'S BEEN A BREAK IN THE ARSON CASE.

TONY AND HIS UNCLE ARE BEING QUESTIONED?

YEAH. LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. PROBABLY TAKE A FEW DAYS TO DEVELOP.

COULD YOU TALK TO THE RELEVANT PARTIES FOR ME?

VINNY, YOU GOT YOURS.

I GOT FOR MY INITIAL IMPETUS,

NOT FOR MY SPECIFIC CONTRIBUTION TO THE HAPPY ENDING.

LOOK, I'LL TRY TO GET YOU ANOTHER TASTE.

SOMETIME TODAY?

WHEN IT WRAPS, VINNY.

THANKS, LIEU. GOOD, GOOD, GOOD. VERY GRATEFUL.

[GRUNTING]

O.K. GOOD, JAMES. AGAIN.

O.K., AGAIN, NOW CROSS.

NOW SET UP YOUR RIGHT WITH YOUR SECOND JAB!

THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO!

THERE YOU GO! THAT'S WHAT I JUST DID!

THIS TIME YOU WERE PISSED OFF.

I'M SORRY.

YOU GOT TO BE PISSED OFF. HERE IT'S O. K.

I KNOW THAT.

BUT YOU DON'T DO IT.

I'M DOING THE TOURNAMENT FOR A LITTLE FUN.

IF I HAVE TO GET PISSED OFF,

MAYBE I SHOULD BE RIDING MY BIKE.

THE GUY SMACKING YOU AROUND

AIN'T GOING TO BE THINKING ABOUT RIDING NO BICYCLE.

HE'LL BE THINKING ABOUT THAT TROPHY WHILE YOU'RE LAYING ON THE CANVAS.

‐ YOU WANT TO DO THIS? ‐ YEAH, I WANNA DO IT.

OTHERWISE, GET ON YOUR SCHWINN. I SAID I WANNA DO IT!

THEN SHOW ME SOMETHING. DOUBLE UP AND CROSS.

ALL RIGHT!

ALL RIGHT, BETTER.

[GRUNTING] COME ON! YEAH!

THAT'S MORE LIKE IT.

HE PROBABLY WOULD'VE LEFT TOWN ANYWAY.

THE BARTENDER. CANGELOSI?

YEAH.

YEAH, I THINK HE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE.

IT'S LATE.

DOES THAT MATTER?

'CAUSE IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME.

AND IF IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME EITHER...

THEN WHAT?

I DON'T LIVE THAT FAR FROM HERE.

ISN'T THIS ONE OF THOSE THINGS

WE SWEAR TO OURSELVES WE'RE GOING TO AVOID?

YEAH.

BUT LET'S DO IT ANYWAY.

LET'S GET THE CHECK.

OHH!

YOU'RE NOT MARRIED, ARE YOU?

HMM?

YOU‐‐YOU THINK I'D DO THAT?

NO.

MM‐MM.

NO.

O.K.

SO NOW THAT YOU KNOW I'M FREE AND CLEAR...

DOES THAT MEAN WE'RE, UH...

WELL, THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ME AGAIN?

YOU MIGHT NOT BE MARRIED, BUT...

SOMETHING ABOUT YOU DOESN'T STRIKE ME AS FREE AND CLEAR.

I DIDN'T MEAN THAT YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND, NECESSARILY.

I‐‐

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I MEANT.

THAT WASN'T...

WHAT YOU ASKED ME ANYWAY, WAS IT?

NO.

YES, I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

I LIKE SEEING YOU NOW.

GOOD.

FIRST TIME'S ALWAYS THE WORST, YOU KNOW.
