PREVIOUSLY ON NYPD BLUE...

I HEAR YOU’RE FIGHTING LAUGHLIN AND THE SMOKER.

WORD’S OUT, HUH?

YOU EVER FOUGHT?

SURE. IT’S BEEN A WHILE. IT’S NO BIG DEAL.

SOMEONE STANDING UP FOR ME ‐‐ THAT’S A BIG DEAL.

YOU DESERVE TO BE STOOD UP FOR.

WHAT’S GOING ON WITH YOU AND CONNIE? NOTHING.

WHAT’S HOLDING YOU BACK?

MAYBE THE 20 YEARS BETWEEN US, ME BEING A MUTT.

MAYBE YOU DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND YOU GO WITH IT.

THE MAIN THINGS THAT YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT ‐‐

IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE CONNIE GIVES A DAMN ABOUT THAT.

YOU STOOD UP FOR ME, AND I WANTED TO SAY THANKS.

YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO DO THAT.

I WANTED TO.

WE GOT TO GET GOING. YEAH, WE REALLY DO.

OH, BOY.

WE GOTTA GO.

I STILL HAVE TO GO HOME AND CHANGE.

I KNOW, I KNOW.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WE’RE GOING.

RIGHT. HERE WE GO.

[ PAGER BEEPS ]

WE GOT TO GO.

I’LL SEE YOU LATER.

YEAH, DEFINITELY.

OKAY. HERE.

UM, SO...

HEY.

DON’T WORRY. EVERYTHING’S COOL, OKAY?

OKAY.

I GOT TO GO.

I KNOW.

I FOUND A PALM PILOT.

SEND IT TO TARU. HAVE THEM DECIPHER IT.

IT WAS OPEN WHEN I FOUND IT.

SO THE MALE AND FEMALE GET TIED UP HERE,

THEN THE PERP GETS THE OTHER FEMALE

TO UNLOCK THE STUDIO AND SHOOTS HER BACK THERE.

SHE KEPT THE MONEY BACK THERE MAYBE.

GOOD MORNING, CHAMP. MORNING.

HOW YOU FEELING? UH, GOOD, GREAT.

WHAT DO WE GOT? DOA FEMALE IN BACK.

THIS IS HER APARTMENT.

SHE HAS A WHOLE RECORDING STUDIO SETUP BACK THERE.

AND A WOMAN TIED UP AND SHOT IN THE HEAD

NEXT TO THIS GUY. SHE’S STILL ALIVE,

BUT UNCONSCIOUS, EN ROUTE TO BELLEVUE.

LET ME GO THROUGH THIS THING.

[ GRUNTS ]

HA HA.

DIDN’T GET MUCH SLEEP, IT LOOKS LIKE.

YEAH, YEAH, I WAS UP AND DOWN ALL NIGHT.

ADRENALINE.

PROBABLY, YEAH.

AHEM. GOOD MORNING.

HEY. MORNING.

UH, MEDAVOY AND JONES ARE CANVASSING.

WHY DON’T YOU GIVE THEM A HAND? THEY’LL FILL YOU IN.

BIG NIGHT LAST NIGHT,

YOU KNOW, WITH THE, UH, FIGHT AND ALL.

MM‐HMM.

WE GOT A BOMB THREAT OVER ON 3rd.

GET McDOWELL AND ORTIZ ON THE RADIO.

HAVE THEM RESPOND TO THIS.

WHAT’S UP WITH YOUR TRIPLE?

IT’S A DOUBLE ‐‐ ONE OF THE FEMALES...

UH, YEAH, A DOA FEMALE WHOSE APARTMENT IT WAS ‐‐ SHERI LENT.

SHE RENTED OUT TIME IN A RECORDING STUDIO

SHE HAD SET UP IN HER BACK BEDROOM.

ANY FORCED ENTRY? NO.

THE SHOT FEMALE AND THE DOA MALE

ARE FRIENDS OF THIS SHERI LENT ‐‐

IN FROM MICHIGAN. BEEN STAYING THERE A WHILE.

IN LENT’S POCKET COMPUTER, WE FOUND A LIST

OF THE PEOPLE WHO RENTED OUT THE RECORDING STUDIO.

WE’RE BRINGING IN THE LAST GUY LISTED FROM YESTERDAY ‐‐

A COLE McLAUGHLIN. ALL RIGHT, KEEP ME UP ON EVERYTHING.

I’M ALREADY GETTING PHONE CALLS.

ARE YOU GOING TO TELL ’EM?

UH, MY DAUGHTER KATIE’S GETTING MARRIED.

HEY, CONGRATULATIONS.

CONGRATULATIONS, GREG.

THAT’S WONDERFUL.

YOU MET THE GUY?

UH, NO. WE’RE HAVING DINNER TOMORROW NIGHT.

HIS FAMILY LIVES HERE IN THE CITY,

AND, UH, THEY’RE MAKING THE ROUNDS, I GUESS.

I’M STILL KIND OF SHOCKED.

I‐I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW SHE WAS SERIOUS WITH ANYBODY.

MY EX REALLY DROVE A WEDGE BETWEEN ME AND MY DAUGHTERS.

YOUR EX GOING TO BE AT THE DINNER TOMORROW NIGHT?

NOT UNLESS MY HEAD’S GOING TO BE SERVED UP ON A TRAY.

NAH, JUST ME AND KATIE AND HER FIANCÉ.

THAT’S GREAT NEWS.

UH, NO MORE CARBS, HUH, TILL AFTER THE WEDDING.

YOU GUYS STAY ON ME ABOUT THAT.

GET A LOAD OF THIS.

PHONY BOMB THREAT GETS PHONED IN TO THIS BUILDING OVER HERE,

THE BOMB DOG STARTS GOING NUTS, SNIFFS OUT THIS LADY’S PURSE.

BOMB SQUAD DOES THEIR THING, TRY TO DEACTIVATE IT.

TURNS OUT THE LADY WAS JUST WALKING BY

BUT CARRYING HALF A KEY OF COKE AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF ECSTASY.

THE BOMB DOG USED TO BE A DRUG DOG

BEFORE BEING RETRAINED AFTER 9/11.

THAT’S HER?

YEAH. RHONDA CLIFTON. SHE’S PUTTING ON

HER AUNT BEE ACT NOW, SAYING SHE DON’T KNOW HOW

THE DRUGS GOT IN HER PURSE, YOU KNOW?

DETECTIVES McDOWELL AND ORTIZ, MS. CLIFTON.

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW THAT GOT IN MY PURSE.

I SWEAR TO GOD.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WENT THROUGH YOUR PURSE

AND KNEW IT WASN’T THERE? THIS MORNING.

SOMEONE MUST’VE DROPPED IT IN MY PURSE ‐‐

WELL, I DON’T KNOW WHY.

YOU LIVE HERE IN THE CITY, MS. CLIFTON?

NO, I‐I LIVE UPSTATE IN GLEN FALLS.

WHAT BROUGHT YOU IN?

SHOPPING.

YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE WITH THE LAW IN THE PAST,

ANYTHING DRUG RELATED?

ABSOLUTELY NOT. I’VE NEVER EVEN GOT A TICKET FOR SPEEDING.

’CAUSE WE’RE GOING TO FIND OUT. YOU CAN ASK ANYONE.

I‐I WOULD NOT DO THIS. THIS IS A MISTAKE.

WE’RE GOING TO TAKE A RIDE AND TALK ABOUT IT SOME MORE.

OH, MY GOD, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

NO. COME ON, MA’AM.

WHY DON’T YOU HAVE A SEAT, MR. McLAUGHLIN?

YOU COMING FROM WORK?

YES. I’M C. O. O. OF DIGITYNE ELECTRONICS.

WELL, THAT’S GREAT. YOU KNOW A SHERI LENT?

I DON’T.

LIVES OVER ON 7th STREET?

SHE LOOKS FAMILIAR, BUT I CAN’T PLACE FROM WHERE.

WHY WAS YOUR NAME AND NUMBER IN HER ADDRESS BOOK?

OKAY, SO WHAT’S UP?

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY YOU’RE LYING ABOUT KNOWING SHERI,

THAT’S WHAT’S UP.

I KNOW HER, BUT I DON’T KNOW HER.

WHEN DID YOU SEE HER LAST? WHAT’S SHERI SAYING?

NO, YOU SEE, THE WAY THIS WORKS

IS WE ASK THE QUESTIONS, YOU PROVIDE THE ANSWERS.

I’M SORRY. DO I LOOK LIKE A TOOTHLESS CRACK WHORE

OVER HERE? DON’T TRY TO STRONG‐ARM ME, DETECTIVE.

I CAN ASK QUESTIONS, AND I WILL ASK QUESTIONS.

OKAY, GOOD. WELL, WE FOUND SHERI DEAD

IN HER APARTMENT THIS MORNING.

AND YOU WERE THE LAST APPOINTMENT SHE HAD LISTED

IN HER CALENDAR.

NOW, YOU GOT ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT, COLE?

LOOK, I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

PLEASE BELIEVE ME.

SLIPPED RIGHT OUT OF THAT PRICK SUIT, DIDN’T HE?

I’M A RESPECTED BUSINESSMAN, I’M A MEMBER

OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR A BETTER NEW YORK...

WHEN DID YOU SEE HER LAST?

YESTERDAY. WHAT FOR?

TO BUY POT. ALL RIGHT? THERE, I ADMIT IT.

I SMOKE OCCASIONALLY. I NEVER BUY MORE THAN 1/8th, THOUGH.

SO SHE WAS YOUR DEALER? YEAH, THAT’S WHAT SHE DID.

HYDROPONIC ONE‐HIT POT.

WHERE YOU BEEN LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING?

I WAS AT HOME WITH MY WIFE AND YOUNG SON AND THEN TO WORK.

YOU BANGING HER? NO!

NO. I‐I WAS NOT.

I BOUGHT POT FROM HER. THAT’S IT.

ALL RIGHT. START WITH YESTERDAY MORNING.

WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN.

MS. CLIFTON, WE’VE BEEN DOING THIS A WHILE,

AND A DEALER STICKING A BUNCH OF DRUGS IN A WOMAN’S PURSE,

BASICALLY GIVING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AWAY TO A STRANGER ‐‐

THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN.

MAYBE THE DEALER WAS ABOUT TO GET CAUGHT BY THE POLICE

AND NEEDED TO GET RID OF IT REAL QUICK.

THAT’S NOT WHAT HAPPENED. WE KNOW IT, YOU KNOW IT.

I’M TELLING YOU, I DON’T KNOW HOW THIS PACKAGE

GOT IN MY PURSE.

PRETTY QUICK HERE, MA’AM,

MY PARTNER AND I ARE GOING TO LOSE ANY SYMPATHY FOR YOU,

ANY INTEREST IN TRYING TO HELP YOU OUT.

AT THAT POINT, WE’LL JUST TOSS YOU IN THE SYSTEM,

AND YOU WILL GET PROSECUTED AND YOU WILL GO TO JAIL.

DO YOU HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM, MS. CLIFTON?

NO, I TOLD YOU THAT I DON’T.

SO YOU WERE LOOKING TO MAKE SOME QUICK MONEY.

THESE AREN’T MY DRUGS. WERE YOU DOING THIS FOR SOMEBODY ELSE?

OKAY, FINE. IT’S MINE.

THE PACKAGE IS MINE.

YOU BOUGHT THE DRUGS HERE, AND YOU WERE GOING

TO SELL THEM UP IN GLEN FALLS? YES.

HOW MUCH YOU BUY IT FOR ‐‐ THE COKE AND ECSTASY?

$3,000.

HOW MUCH WERE YOU LOOKING TO MAKE OFF IT?

DOUBLE.

YOU’RE WAY OFF ON BOTH FIGURES.

THE DRUGS ARE WORTH A LOT MORE THAN THAT.

WHAT’S GOING ON, MS. CLIFTON?

WE’RE DONE, THEN.

THAT’S FELONY WEIGHT YOU WERE CARRYING,

AND YOU’RE GOING TO GO TO JAIL.

ANDY SAYS THE DOA WHOSE APARTMENT IT WAS ‐‐

SHE WAS DEALING HIGH‐END POT TO A BIG LIST OF CUSTOMERS,

NOT RENTING STUDIO TIME.

THAT’S WHAT THE GUY IN THE POKEY GAVE ’EM?

YEAH. SO WE’RE GOING TO START PULLING ALL THE CLIENTS

SHE HAD LISTED ON THE PALM PILOT

WHILE ANDY AND JOHN FINISH GETTING THIS GUY’S STATEMENT.

LET ME, UH, REFILL,

AND THEN WE’LL DIVVY UP THE LIST AND HEAD OUT.

ALL RIGHT.

THIS LADY’S SAYING SHE DOESN’T KNOW HOW

THE DRUGS GOT IN HER PURSE.

THEY FELL FROM THE SKY?

THE WHOLE THING DOESN’T MAKE SENSE,

INCLUDING THESE BEING HER DRUGS.

WE’RE GOING TO CALL THE P. D. UP IN GLEN FALLS

WHERE SHE LIVES AND SEE WHAT THEY HAVE ON HER.

IF SHE DOESN’T GIVE US ANYBODY ELSE, THE DRUGS ARE HERS.

I’LL GET HER LODGED DOWNSTAIRS.

HI. I’M KATIE MEDAVOY, HERE TO SEE MY DAD.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT.

THANK YOU.

MAY I SEE THE RING? SURE.

OH. A NICE SIMPLE BAND WITH LITTLE BAGUETTES.

IT’S BEAUTIFUL. WHO NEEDS A BIG DIAMOND, RIGHT?

YEAH, I REALLY LOVE IT. IS MY DAD AROUND?

YEAH, I’M SORRY. HE’S IN THE COFFEE ROOM.

IT’S RIGHT THROUGH THERE.

OKAY, THANKS.

HEY. HEY, DAD.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE OUT TRYING ON DRESSES WITH YOUR MOM.

OH, WE ENDED A LITTLE EARLY.

EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

[ Sighs ] WHAT’S WRONG?

MOM’S NOT GOING TO COME TO THE WEDDING NOW.

SHE SAID SHE THOUGHT ABOUT IT,

AND SHE DOESN’T KNOW HOW SHE’D REACT.

BECAUSE I’LL BE THERE?

YEAH.

I CAN’T BELIEVE HER. I CAN’T BELIEVE IT.

SO I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH KEVIN,

AND I TOLD HIM THAT I THINK IT MIGHT BE A LOT EASIER

IF WE JUST ELOPE.

I DON’T WANT YOU TO HAVE TO ELOPE.

HAVE YOUR WEDDING, ’CAUSE IT’S YOUR DAY.

I JUST DON’T WANT ANY PROBLEMS.

LET YOUR MOTHER COME.

I‐I’LL TAKE YOU AND KEVIN OUT TO DINNER BEFORE THE WEDDING.

WE’LL HAVE OUR OWN CELEBRATION.

WELL, YOU SAY THIS NOW, BUT YOU MIGHT BE REALLY UPSET LATER.

THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD UPSET ME

IS IF YOU HAVE TO ELOPE ON ACCOUNT OF YOUR PARENTS.

HAVE YOUR WEDDING.

I DIDN’T COME HERE TO TRY AND GET YOU TO SAY THAT.

I KNOW.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR JUST MAKING MY LIFE A LOT EASIER.

ANYTHING I CAN DO.

IF WE HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS, WE’LL BE IN TOUCH.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

THAT WAS CHIEF OF POLICE UP IN GLEN FALLS.

THAT WOMAN WE CAUGHT WITH A HALF KEY OF COKE ON HER ‐‐

THAT’S WHERE SHE LIVES. SHE HAVE A RECORD?

NOTHING, BUT SHE DOES HAVE A DIRTBAG SON

WHO HAD A RECORD UP THERE UNTIL THEY RAN HIM OUT OF TOWN

AND WHO NOW LIVES IN OUR FAIR CITY.

IS SHE MULING FOR HER SON?

I DON’T KNOW. THEY’RE FAXING OVER

HER SON’S SHEET, AND I’LL GO HIT HER UP.

SO, WHAT’S THE DEAL?

NOTHING.

I WENT HOME AFTER THE BAR,

YOU KNOW, AFTER THE FIGHT, AND I WAS STILL WORKED UP,

SO I COULDN’T SLEEP. NOTHING HAPPENED WITH NOTHING.

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH THE REST OF OUR DOA’s CLIENT LIST?

OH. UM, ROB McCARTHY’S A SCRATCH NOW,

AND, UH, GREG’S BRINGING IN THIS GUY DAVE BURGESS.

THANKS, THAT’S VERY HELPFUL.

YOUR GUY’S IN THE POKEY.

DID YOU GET ANY HIT OFF HIM?

NAH. PRETTY QUIET.

HEY, JUST CALL YOUR EX,

AND TELL HER TO GET HER HEAD OUT OF HER ASS.

THAT’S JUST WHAT SHE WANTS ‐‐ A SCENE.

I GOT TO LET IT GO.

I WANT KATIE TO HAVE A GOOD WEDDING.

I OWE HER THAT.

YOU KNOW A SHERI LENT, DAVE?

YEAH, I KNOW SHERI, YEAH.

HOW?

PARTY TOGETHER SOMETIMES.

GET HIGH.

YEAH, YOU KNOW, WEED.

SHERI YOUR DEALER?

I‐I DON’T WANT TO GET HER IN TROUBLE.

JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION

OR YOU’RE GOING TO GET YOURSELF IN TROUBLE.

YEAH, I BOUGHT POT OFF SHERI BEFORE, YEAH.

WERE YOU SLEEPING WITH HER?

NO. NO, I MEAN, SHE WASN’T NO DOG OR NOTHING,

BUT IT WAS JUST A POT DEAL.

WHEN DID YOU SEE HER LAST?

YESTERDAY.

WHAT FOR?

TO BUY POT.

I‐I’M NOT GETTING HER IN TROUBLE HERE, AM I?

WHO ELSE WAS AT HER APARTMENT?

NOBODY.

SHE DIDN’T HAVE FRIENDS STAYING WITH HER?

NO, I WAS THERE FOR, LIKE, FIVE MINUTES.

THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE AROUND.

YOU GOT A JOB?

YES.

I‐I WORK FOR MARK DOUGLAS ‐‐ COMMERCIAL PAINTER.

I’VE BEEN WORKING FOR MARK ALMOST THREE MONTHS NOW.

WHERE YOU BEEN TODAY?

DAY OFF,

BUT I WENT BY TO PICK UP MY CHECK FROM MARK,

AND THEN I RODE AROUND WITH HIM FOR A BIT

WHILE HE WAS OFF BIDDING ON SOME OTHER JOBS.

HOW LONG WERE YOU WITH HIM?

UM, 7:00 A. M. TILL, LIKE, 10:00.

I‐I DON’T MEAN TO BE RUDE,

BUT WOULD YOU MIND TELLING ME WHAT THIS IS ABOUT?

SHERI’S NAME CAME UP IN AN INVESTIGATION.

OH. I’M NOT TRYING TO GET HER IN TROUBLE.

WRITE DOWN YOUR BOSS’S NUMBER

SO WE CAN VERIFY WHERE YOU’VE BEEN TODAY.

YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT POT IS STILL CLASSIFIED AS A NARCOTIC

UNDER FEDERAL LAW IS RIDICULOUS.

HOW MANY CRIMES DO YOU SEE COMMITTED

BY PEOPLE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF POT, RIGHT?

YOU GOT A RECORD, DAVE? YOU DONE ANY TIME?

NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG. PLEASE LET ME OUT OF HERE.

YOU’VE BEEN IN A CELL FOR TWO HOURS.

IMAGINE 15 YEARS IN HERE.

NO. THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING AT.

THOSE WEREN’T MY DRUGS.

ARE THEY YOUR SON’S?

WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?

ARE THEY ERIC’S?

NO.

YOU’RE IN TOWN FOR THE DAY.

YOUR SON, WHO HAS PREVIOUS DRUG CONVICTIONS, LIVES HERE.

YOU’RE CAUGHT WITH DRUGS.

IT’S STARTING TO LINE UP FOR US.

ERIC’S A GOOD BOY.

WE’RE SURE HE IS.

HE FELL INTO THE WRONG CROWD

AFTER HIS DAD LEFT.

TELL US WHAT HAPPENED TODAY AND WE’LL GET YOU OUT OF HERE.

NO, HE CAN’T GO BACK TO JAIL.

WE’LL DO OUR BEST TO GET HIM IN A PROGRAM.

HE GAVE ME THE PACKAGE.

IT WAS GIFT‐WRAPPED. HE SAID IT WAS A PRESENT

FOR DAN, THIS FRIEND OF HIS UP IN GLEN FALLS.

DID YOU KNOW THERE WERE DRUGS IN THE PACKAGE?

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

WRITE DOWN WHERE TO FIND ERIC.

SIT DOWN.

OUR GUY IN THE POKEY DAVE BURGESS ‐‐

HIS ALIBI STICKS.

HIS BOSS CONFIRMS HE CAME BY TO GET HIS CHECK AT 7:00 SHARP,

HUNG OUT TILL 10:00.

HIS BOSS SAYS HE’S A GOOD WORKER,

BUT HALF WACKY.

I RAN HIS NAME. THERE’S A DAVID BURGESS,

SAME DATE OF BIRTH, WANTED FOR QUESTIONING

FOR AN ARSON IN TOPEKA, KANSAS, FIVE YEARS AGO.

GET HIM PRINTED AND COMPARE IT?

YEAH. NEED HELP?

NO, I GOT IT.

WHERE ARE YOU FROM ORIGINALLY, DAVE?

ALL OVER.

MY DAD WAS A TRUCKER, KEPT MOVING THE FAMILY.

HOW ABOUT YOURSELF?

YOU EVER SPEND TIME IN TOPEKA?

KANSAS?

YEAH. NO.

THERE’S AN OUTSTANDING WARRANT IN TOPEKA

FOR A DAVID BURGESS, SAME DATE OF BIRTH

AS YOU GOT LISTED ON YOUR NEW YORK LICENSE.

IT’S NOT ME.

WELL, NOTHING PERSONAL, BUT WE GOT TO FIND OUT FOR SURE.

OH.

OH, HEY, WHAT IT COULD BE ‐‐

I WAS A VICTIM OF AN IDENTITY THEFT.

THIS GUY GOT HOLD OF MY NAME, MY VITAL STATISTICS,

AND BASICALLY RACKED UP THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN MY NAME

AND DID WHO KNOWS WHAT KIND OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITY.

I‐I’M STILL GETTING CALLS BECAUSE OF HIM.

ALL RIGHT, SO, UH, WHAT WE GOT TO DO, THEN,

IS TAKE YOU DOWN TO FINGERPRINT YOU.

NO, IT WASN’T ME.

THIS IS STANDARD PROCEDURE. IT’LL TAKE A FEW MINUTES

TO PROVE IT’S NOT YOU, THEN YOU’LL BE ON YOUR WAY.

YOU ‐‐ YOU KNOW, I’VE BEEN NOTHING BUT NICE TO YOU GUYS.

I’VE BEEN NOTHING BUT COOPERATIVE,

AND I GET STANDARD PROCEDURE IN RETURN.

RELAX, DAVE.

I AM RELAXED,

AND I WOULD LIKE TO GO HOME NOW

BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT NICE TO YOU.

WELL, WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO PRINT YOU FIRST,

AND THEN YOU CAN GO HOME.

COME ON.

TAKE IT EASY.

SIT DOWN AND PUT YOUR HANDS ON THE TABLE!

WE’RE GOING TO WORK THIS OUT, DAVE.

I WAS SO NICE TO YOU.

YOU STILL ARE NICE. SO AM I.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. YOU ARE NOT!

YOU SHOULD HAVE LET ME GO. YOU HAPPY NOW?

EVERYTHING IS GOING TO WORK OUT.

SHUT UP!

THAT WAS MEDAVOY AND JONES.

THE FEMALE SHOT AT THE APARTMENT

SAID A JAMAICAN NAMED ED WAS THE SHOOTER.

I’LL SEE WHAT NARCOTICS HAS ON THAT.

NO LUCK FINDING THIS WOMAN’S SON.

THE SON WHO PLANTED THE DRUGS ON HER? YEAH.

WE NOTIFIED THE SECTOR CARS TO KEEP AN EYE OUT.

WHERE ‐‐ WHERE’S ANDY?

HE’S SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING THIS GUY DOWN AND GET PRINTED.

I DON’T KNOW. LET ME CHECK.

AHEM.

ANDY.

Andy: DON’T COME IN HERE, JOHN.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

Dave: DON’T YOU LISTEN? DON’T COME IN HERE.

WHEN I’M READY TO TALK TO YOU GUYS, I WILL.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

I DON’T KNOW.

HOW’D HE GET ANDY’S GUN?

THAT’S NOT ANDY’S GUN.

THE GUY’S HOLDING A SILVER AUTOMATIC.

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THIS GUY?

HE’S WANTED FOR AN ARSON IN KANSAS.

THAT’S IT.

HAS HE GOT FAMILY THAT COULD TALK TO HIM?

WE’RE LOOKING AT ALL THAT.

WE GOT BROOKLYN DETECTIVES

WHO ARE GOING THROUGH HIS APARTMENT RIGHT NOW.

15th SQUAD.

HOLD ON. DETECTIVE ORTIZ?

WE DON’T KNOW WHAT HE WANTS. HE HASN’T ASKED FOR ANYTHING?

THE NEGOTIATOR’S TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT.

THIS WAY.

OKAY. THANKS.

THE WOMAN CARRYING THE DRUGS ‐‐

SECTOR CAR FOUND HER SON. THEY’RE BRINGING HIM IN.

INTERVIEW HIM DOWN IN 124.

[ SIGHS ]

CONNIE, EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT,

SO GO WORK YOUR CASE

BECAUSE THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO HERE.

WHAT THE HELL’S GOING ON?

GUY WE HAD IN THE POKEY, HE’S GOT ANDY HELD HOSTAGE IN THERE.

Baldwin: YEAH, BUT HOW?

THAT’S WHAT WE’RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT.

GREG, WHEN YOU BROUGHT THIS GUY IN,

DIDN’T YOU TOSS HIM?

I‐I COULD HAVE SWORE I DID.

HE’S GOT A SMALL AUTOMATIC IN THERE.

THAT’S NOT ANDY’S GUN.

GOD, I‐I DON’T KNOW.

ALL RIGHT, I’M GOING BACK IN THERE.

GREG, YOU STAY HERE.

JOHN, YOU AND BALDWIN KEEP WORKING THE CASE.

WHILE ANDY’S GOT A GUN TO HIS HEAD.

WE GOT TWO DOAs,

AND WHO KNOWS IF THIS GUY IN THE POKEY’S INVOLVED SOMEHOW?

EITHER YOU WORK IT OR I’LL ASSIGN IT

TO SOMEBODY ELSE. WHAT’S IT GOING TO BE?

THAT’S WHAT IT’S GOT TO BE.

SURVIVING VICTIM GAVE YOU A JAMAICAN NAMED ED

AS THE SHOOTER? YEAH.

GET ON IT.

IT’S ALL RIGHT, GREG.

I DIDN’T SET FIRE TO THE MAN’S HOUSE.

WAS I IN THE VICINITY?

YEAH. YEAH, I WAS, BUT I DID NOT SET FIRE TO IT.

WHO DID SET FIRE TO IT?

DON’T YOU THINK IF I KNEW

I WOULD HAVE PRESENTED THAT INFORMATION TO THE POLICE?

YOU ‐‐ YOU THINK I LIKE BEING ACCUSED

OF A CRIME I DIDN’T COMMIT?

WHOSE HOUSE WAS IT?

OKAY, WELL, THIS IS WHY PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS ME,

BECAUSE THE GUY WHO OWNED THE HOUSE ‐‐

I DIDN’T LIKE HIM. HE WAS GARBAGE.

HEY, YOU THERE?

SHUT UP! THIS MAN ‐‐

HE STOLE AN IDEA FROM ME THAT I PATENTED,

AND NOW HE GOES ON AND MAKES MONEY OFF THE PRODUCT,

LEAVING ME WHAT? OUT IN THE COLD?

SORRY, CHARLIE? UNH‐UNH. UNH‐UNH.

WRONG GUY.

[ Knocking ] DAVE, TALK TO ME.

SHUT UP! BUT THEN, ON TOP OF ALL THIS,

HE TURNS IT ON ME.

HE GETS A RESTRAINING ORDER ON ME, PAINTS ME AS THE BAD GUY.

WAS I HAPPY THE MAN’S HOUSE BURNED DOWN?

HELL, YES, I WAS ‐‐

THIS IS DETECTIVE MARTY HOWARD. WE’RE GOING TO WORK THIS OUT.

SHUT UP! WHO IS THIS IDIOT?

A HOSTAGE NEGOTIATOR.

WELL, HE SUCKS! HE SUCKS, AND HE’S PISSING ME OFF!

HOWARD, THIS IS SIPOWICZ.

BACK OFF UNTIL YOU HEAR DIFFERENT.

BACK OFF!

SURVEILLANCE TEAM WILL BE HERE AT 5:00.

SNIPERS?

YEAH.

WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO SET UP?

RIGHT HERE.

AS A LAST RESORT.

ALWAYS.

WHAT WAS YOUR INVENTION THIS GUY STOLE?

YOU ‐‐ YOU DON’T CARE.

THEN WHAT ELSE ARE WE GOING TO TALK ABOUT, DAVE?

HOW ABOUT IF YOU DON’T SHUT YOUR MOUTH,

I’M GOING TO BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF?!

HOW ABOUT WE TALK ABOUT THAT?!

SIT DOWN, ERIC.

SO WHAT’S GOING ON?

WE FOUND THE DRUGS ON YOUR MOM.

WE’VE GOT HER IN CUSTODY.

WHAT DRUGS?

THE COKE AND ECSTASY YOU GIFT‐WRAPPED

AND TOLD HER TO HAND OVER TO YOUR FRIEND DAN

WHEN SHE GOT BACK TO GLEN FALLS.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT.

THAT’S NOT HOW IT’S GOING TO WORK TODAY, ERIC.

DON’T WASTE OUR TIME OR YOUR MOM’S,

’CAUSE SHE’S SITTING IN A CELL RIGHT NOW FOR YOU.

NEVER GAVE MY MOM A GIFT OF DRUGS OR ANYTHING.

I SERIOUSLY DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT.

SO YOUR 45‐YEAR‐OLD MOM WITH NO RECORD

IS LYING ABOUT YOU GIVING HER A PACKAGE TO TAKE UPSTATE.

I GUESS SO. SHE’S UP IN THE SUBURBS DEALING COKE AND ECSTASY.

I DON’T KNOW.

ERIC, THIS IS YOU

HANGING YOUR MOM OUT TO DRY. YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT?

LOOK, I’M SORRY, BUT I’M TOTALLY CONFUSED HERE.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT.

SO YOU TRICK YOUR MOM INTO CARRYING YOUR DRUGS BACK HOME

FOR YOU BECAUSE THE COPS TOLD YOU NEVER TO COME BACK,

’CAUSE WITH YOUR RECORD, IF YOU GET CAUGHT WITH THEM,

THAT’S STRAIGHT TO THE PEN, BUT IF YOUR MOM GETS CAUGHT...

IS THAT HOW IT IS?

NOPE. YOU’RE WAY OFF.

ERIC, I KNOW YOU’VE HIT SOME HARD TIMES,

AND YOU’VE PROBABLY DONE THINGS YOU WISH YOU COULD DO OVER,

BUT DON’T SELL OUT YOUR MOM.

DON’T DO IT TO HER, DON’T DO IT TO YOURSELF.

I WOULD STAND UP FOR HER IF I DID THIS,

BUT I DIDN’T.

MAYBE SHE’S GOT A HABIT OR SOMETHING. I DON’T KNOW.

CAN I GO?

YOU’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

WHAT’S GOING ON?

THE PERP AND DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ ARE TALKING.

THE PERP’S NOT DEALING WITH THE NEGOTIATOR.

CAN WE LOOK IN THROUGH THE OBSERVATION ROOM YET?

NO, ON THEIR ORDERS,

AND WORD JUST CAME IN FROM BELLEVUE ‐‐

JUDY GURTIN, THE WOMAN THAT SURVIVED THE SHOOTING

AT THE RECORDING STUDIO, JUST DIED.

AIN’T NOTHING FROM NARCOTICS ON ANY JAMAICAN NAMED ED?

THAT WAS TARU.

THE DOA MALE AT THE APARTMENT GLENN GURTIN ‐‐

THEY DUMPED HIS CELL PHONE, AND THERE WAS A CALL OUT

TO AN ED BRODY, JAMAICA, QUEENS.

RUNNING AROUND LOOKING FOR A JAMAICAN.

HE’S GOT A RECORD AND A MUG SHOT YOU CAN PICK UP.

OKAY, TONY, WE’LL TAKE IT FROM HERE.

OKAY.

WHY DON’T YOU GIVE US A LITTLE ROOM?

I’M STAYING RIGHT HERE.

LET US DO OUR JOB.

IT’S MY COMMAND, MY DETECTIVE IN THERE. I’M STAYING.

SO JUST ACCEPT THAT AND DON’T WASTE TIME

TURNING THIS INTO A PISSING MATCH.

Dave: JUST KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE TABLE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT, DAVE?

I WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE.

THIS IS HOW YOU GO ABOUT WANTING TO BE LEFT ALONE?

YOU BROUGHT ME IN HERE,

AND I ANSWERED YOUR STUPID QUESTIONS ABOUT BUYING POT.

YOU COULD HAVE LET ME GO.

DAVE, WE GOT TO TALK, BUDDY.

DAMN IT!

BACK OFF! I’M NOT GOING TO SAY IT AGAIN.

YOU SHOULD HAVE LET ME GO.

YOU SHOULD HAVE LET ME GO.

LET’S TRY AND FOCUS ON WHAT WE CAN DO NOW.

YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THEY GOT A HOLD OF ME,

THE THINGS THAT I’VE SEEN, THE THINGS I KNOW?

I COULD PULL THE RUG OUT FROM UNDER THIS ENTIRE GOVERNMENT,

AND THEY KNOW IT.

SO WHAT CAN WE DO?

YOU DON’T CARE.

NO, I DO CARE.

DON’T YOU LIE TO ME! DON’T YOU LIE TO ME!

NOW, THE ONLY REASON THAT YOU ARE STILL ALIVE

IS BECAUSE YOU HAVEN’T TRIED TO LIE TO ME LIKE THAT ‐‐

THAT ASSHOLE OUT THERE AND PRETEND YOU’RE MY BEST FRIEND.

DAVE...

I WANT TO WALK OUT OF HERE,

SO I’M NOT LYING WHEN I SAY I CARE.

DO I CARE BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE YOU’RE MY BROTHER?

NO. I CARE BECAUSE WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER NOW,

AND I WANT TO SEE IT WORK OUT FOR THE BOTH OF US.

WHAT IS TO WORK OUT?

I AM A DEAD MAN NO MATTER WHAT.

THIS GUY WHO’S HOLDING ANDY HOSTAGE ‐‐

BROOKLYN DETECTIVES WENT THROUGH HIS APARTMENT

AND FOUND A STOCKPILE OF GUNS

AND STACKS OF JOURNALS SPOUTING ALL SORTS OF NONSENSE.

PLUS, WORD’S COMING BACK NOW

THAT HE DID TIME IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL.

IT’LL WORK OUT.

YEAH, WE SHOULD BE BACK THERE FOR ANDY.

THERE’S NOTHING WE CAN DO BACK AT THE SQUAD

EXCEPT GET WORKED UP.

WHAT WAS MEDAVOY THINKING WHEN HE GRABBED THIS GUY UP,

OR WAS HE?

HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT GREG NEEDS RIGHT NOW?

SUPPORT FROM THE REST OF US.

HE MADE A MISTAKE,

BUT DON’T THINK THIS ISN’T TEARING HIM UP.

AW, COME ON. IT’S ON NY1 NOW.

WHAT, DID THEY GIVE ANDY’S NAME?

NO, JUST THAT THERE’S A HOSTAGE SITUATION

INVOLVING A DETECTIVE.

SHOULD WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEO?

I DON’T KNOW.

HERE’S OUR GUY.

MY ARM!

SHUT UP!

WE’LL DO A DOUBLE TAP.

FIRST SHOOTER TAKES OUT THE WINDOW,

SECOND HITS THE TARGET. WE’RE AN INCH FROM THE GLASS.

WHAT IF IT DOESN’T SHATTER?

WE’LL HIT THE TARGET.

WHAT IF THIS GUY FLINCHES AND PULLS THE TRIGGER?

THIS GUY WON’T TALK TO OUR NEGOTIATOR.

HE’S OBVIOUSLY DERANGED.

HE’S NOT EVEN TALKING TO YOUR GUY ANYMORE.

I DON’T LIKE IT.

I HAVE CLEARANCE TO GO TACTICAL.

IF I HAVE THE SHOT, I’M TAKING IT.

I’VE LET YOU STAY IN HERE AS A COURTESY,

BUT MAYBE YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT LEAVING NOW.

CLEAR THE HALLWAY IN CASE OF RICOCHET.

I DON’T LIKE IT.

WE’RE CLEAR ON THAT.

Andy: COME ON, DAVE, WHAT’S GOING ON?

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO, DAVE?

PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER

WAS READY TO DECRIMINALIZE POT.

NOT LEGALIZE, WHICH IS WHAT EVERYBODY TRIPS ON.

DECRIMINALIZE.

AND THEN HIS DRUG CZAR CONVINCES HIM

THAT IT’S A HARD DRUG ‐‐ A GATEWAY DRUG.

WE GOT TO START FIGURING THIS OUT, DAVE.

DO YOU REALIZE THE BENEFITS IF THEY DID?

THE REDUCED DRUG‐RELATED CRIME,

THE REDUCED OVERCROWDING OF THE PRISON SYSTEM,
