PREVIOUSLY ON NYPD BLUE...

IF WE TAKE THE SAME VACATION TIME,

PEOPLE ARE GOING TO FIGURE IT OUT.

IF YOU BACKED OUT,

I DON’T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND HOW DISAPPOINTED THEO WOULD BE.

I’M JUST GETTING A STRONG SENSE THIS ISN’T A GREAT IDEA.

IT’S OFF, AND IT’S FINE.

WE GOT TO GO.

YEAH.

I’LL SEE YOU LATER.

YEAH, DEFINITELY.

WELL, SO...

HEY.

DON’T WORRY.

EVERYTHING’S COOL, OKAY?

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.

NO! NO, NO!

NO, YOU SHOULD’VE LET ME GO.

YOU HAPPY NOW?

EVERYTHING IS GOING TO WORK OUT. SHUT UP!

IF YOU DON’T SHUT YOUR MOUTH, I’M GOING TO BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF!

DAVE, WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER NOW,

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

I WANT TO WALK OUT OF HERE.

HEY. THE DOA’s A TONY STANZONE. HE WAS WORKING THE COUNTER

WITH HIS NEPHEW OVER THERE GARY MONTANERI.

THAT’S THE DOA’s WIFE. SHE JUST GOT HERE.

ANYTHING ON THE PERPS?

TWO BLACK MALES, MID‐20s.

ONE OF THEM STAYED BY THE DOOR,

THE OTHER ONE ORDERED A SANDWICH AND CIGARETTES,

THEN HE PULLED HIS GUN OUT.

WE’LL START A QUICK CANVASS. SEE IF THERE’S ANY WITNESSES.

YEAH.

AHEM. GARY, YOU MIND TALKING TO US FOR A LITTLE BIT?

YEAH. TWO BLACK GUYS, ONE CAME TO THE COUNTER.

HE GOT THE DROP ON ME. THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO.

CAN YOU IDENTIFY THESE GUYS?

HELL, YES, I CAN. I TOLD THE SON OF A BITCH

JUST TAKE THE MONEY AND GET OUT.

YOUR UNCLE WOULDN’T GIVE UP THE MONEY?

HE GAVE IT UP. THEY STILL SHOT HIM!

WE’RE GOING TO NEED YOU TO COME DOWN,

LOOK AT SOME MUG SHOTS,

TALK A LITTLE MORE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

I WENT AFTER THAT SCUMBAG. I DIDN’T CARE IF HE HAD A GUN.

I WOULD’VE KILLED HIM IF I GOT MY HANDS ON HIM.

THE SOONER WE GET ON THIS,

THE BETTER THE ODDS OF CATCHING THESE GUYS.

MY MOM’S ON HER WAY DOWN FROM BROOKLYN, ALL RIGHT?

WE’LL STAY WITH YOUR AUNT TILL YOUR MOM GETS HERE. THANKS.

COME ON. I’LL GET AN OFFICER,

GET YOU DOWN TO THE STATION. WE’LL BE DOWN IN A LITTLE WHILE.

WE’LL GET WHOEVER DID THIS, AUNT JOSIE. I SWEAR TO GOD.

ALL RIGHT?

HEY.

WHAT’S GOING ON WITH YOUR CASE?

JUNIOR’S BRINGING UP OUR WITNESS.

HOW ARE YOU COMING ALONG?

I’M SLEEPING BETTER. IT SHOWS.

AND, UH, I WAS THINKING ABOUT MAYBE REINVITING YOU

TO FLORIDA.

I THOUGHT WE COVERED THAT.

EVER SINCE I HAD THAT GUN TO MY HEAD,

I’VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF THINKING,

TAKING STOCK ABOUT WHAT’S IMPORTANT IN MY LIFE,

WHAT I REALLY CARE ABOUT.

I’D LIKE YOU TO COME WITH US.

THINK ABOUT IT.

YOU’RE LEAVING TOMORROW.

I GOT A TRAVEL AGENT FRIEND WHO COULD WORK IT OUT.

ANDY, I ALWAYS WANTED TO GO.

IT WAS THE BACK AND FORTH THAT GOT OLD.

THAT’S FINISHED.

WELL, IT’S STILL GOING TO GET AROUND THE SQUAD

AND TO OTHER PEOPLE.

AS FAR AS THE THINGS THAT I REALLY CARE ABOUT,

WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF ME, WHAT THEY THINK OF YOU AND ME ‐‐

THAT’S OFF THE LIST.

YOU MEAN TOO MUCH.

I’D LOVE TO GO.

ONE CONDITION ‐‐

TWO HOURS MINIMUM, YOU’RE WEARING THE MOUSE EARS.

NO PICTURES.

I, UH, I’M GOING TO BE PUTTING IN A 28.

THE START DATE’S TOMORROW.

I’LL BE TAKING A WEEK. SORRY FOR THE SHORT NOTICE.

SOMETHING COME UP?

I’M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD... WITH ANDY.

OH, YEAH?

AND HIS SON THEO. I FIGURED.

I’VE NEVER BEEN BEFORE.

I HEAR THERE’S A LOT GOING ON IN ORLANDO.

YEAH. GOOD WEATHER...

A LOT OF PEOPLE RETIRE DOWN THERE.

YEAH.

SO...

HAVE A GOOD TIME.

THANKS.

THANKS A LOT. HEY.

SO LET’S RUN THROUGH WHAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING, GARY.

[ SIGHS ]

THIS BLACK GUY WALKS IN ‐‐

NO. WHERE ARE YOU? YOU KNOW, WHERE’S YOUR UNCLE?

TAKE IT FROM THE BEGINNING.

WE’RE BOTH BEHIND THE COUNTER. OVER BY THE DELI,

MY UNCLE TONY WAS BY THE REGISTER.

IT WAS EMPTY BECAUSE WE HAD JUST OPENED UP.

THIS BLACK GUY COMES IN.

HE ORDERS A TURKEY AND SWISS AND SOME MENTHOLS,

AND MY UNCLE TONY WAS BAGGING IT UP.

AND THE BLACK GUY PULLS HIS GUN.

WHEN DID YOU NOTICE THE SECOND GUY BY THE DOOR?

WHEN I WAS MAKING THE SANDWICH.

LOOKED LIKE A BUDDY OF HIS.

OKAY, SO YOUR UNCLE’S BAGGING THE SANDWICH AND SMOKES.

YEAH.

THE GUY PULLS A GUN, WE PUT OUR HANDS IN THE AIR,

MY UNCLE EMPTIES THE REGISTER, THE GUY SHOOTS HIM.

THEN WHAT?

THEN I GO FOR THE PHONE. CALL 911.

AFTER YOU CHASED HIM?

I WENT RIGHT FOR THE PHONE TO GET AN AMBULANCE THERE

FOR MY UNCLE. HE WAS SHOT, HE WAS BLEEDING ON THE FLOOR.

YOU SAID AT THE MARKET YOU WENT AFTER THESE GUYS.

TO THE DOOR. I CHASED THEM TO THE DOOR.

I WOULD’VE RAN DOWN THE STREET AFTER THEM, BUT MY UNCLE

WAS, YOU KNOW, BLEEDING, SHOT ON THE FLOOR.

ALL RIGHT, KEEP LOOKING THROUGH THE MUG BOOKS.

WE’LL BE BACK TO SEE HOW YOU’RE DOING.

HEY, FELLAS?

JOHN CLARK, ANDY SIPOWICZ ‐‐ FRANK HUGHES, ROBBERY.

HOW YOU DOING? HOW’S IT GOING?

OUR WITNESS IN THE COFFEE ROOM

IS STILL GOING THROUGH MUG BOOKS. NO NEED. I GOT YOUR MAN.

THIS DOUCHE BAG TERENCE CATES ‐‐ A PATTERN I’VE BEEN WORKING.

THE THING THIS MORNING FITS HIM DOWN TO A GNAT’S ASS.

WHY DON’T YOU RUN IT FOR ’EM, FRANK?

ALL RIGHT, THIS CATES ‐‐ BLACK MALE, 25, GOATEE ‐‐

WALKS INTO A MARKET OR BODEGA, ORDERS A SANDWICH,

THEN HE PULLS OUT A GUN.

YOU GOT A FOLDER ON HIM?

I’M HAVING IT TRANSPORTED FROM THE ROBBERY SQUAD.

I LIKE CATES FOR AT LEAST 10 OF THESE,

BUT I FINALLY GOT AN I. D. ON HIM FOLLOWING

THE ATTEMPTED ROBBERY OF A BODEGA ON 110th STREET.

CATES GOT AWAY, BUT WE COLLARED HIS GIRLFRIEND ROBERTA.

SHE’S BEEN COOPERATING.

SO SHE GAVE HIM UP?

YEAH, PLUS SHE HASN’T LET ON THAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR HIM.

CATES LIVES UPTOWN. HIS OTHER STICKUPS WERE UPTOWN,

BUT HE WORKED AT A HARDWARE STORY ON MULBERRY,

SO HE MUST’VE MOVED HIS ACT DOWN HERE.

SO HOW COME YOU HAVEN’T COLLARED THE GUY?

WELL, SEEING AS HE DIDN’T KNOW WE WERE LOOKING FOR HIM ‐‐

[ CELLULAR PHONE RINGS ]

[ RING ]

SORRY. REAL QUICK.

WHAT UP?

YEAH, WE’RE STILL ON FOR THAT.

NO, I’M TELLING YOU, DON’T WORRY.

YEAH, LISTEN, I’M IN A MEETING RIGHT NOW.

I GOT TO CALL YOU BACK IN FIVE MINUTES.

ALL RIGHT, DAWG. PEACE.

SORRY. UM...

WHY HAVEN’T YOU COLLARED HIM?

WELL, SEEING AS HE DIDN’T KNOW WE WERE LOOKING FOR HIM,

THERE WAS NO REASON WHY HE WOULDN’T HAVE GONE

TO HIS PAROLE MEETING YESTERDAY.

HIS P. O. WAS SUPPOSED TO HOLD HIM FOR US,

BUT HE CALLED IN SICK,

AND HE DIDN’T GIVE THE HEADS‐UP TO THE SUPERVISOR.

SO CATES CHECKS IN, AND THEN HE LEFT,

WHICH...I KNOW IS ON ME, BUT, UH,

I’VE BEEN SWAMPED WITH OTHER CASES.

YEAH? BECAUSE NOW WE GOT A DOA.

I SCREWED UP. I’VE ALREADY HEARD ABOUT IT.

I DIDN’T COME DOWN HERE TO HAVE MY NOSE RUBBED

IN WHAT I SHOULD’VE DONE.

WHERE CAN WE FIND CATES? THROUGH HIS GIRLFRIEND?

YEAH, YEAH, I’M GIVING HER A DAY TO COOL OFF.

SHE’S A LITTLE PISSED THAT WE DIDN’T GRAB TERENCE YESTERDAY.

SO, HOW YOU WANT TO DO THIS?

WHERE’S MEDAVOY AND JONES? STILL AT THE CRIME SCENE.

ALL RIGHT, WE’LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

WHAT, JUST YOU GUYS?

YEAH.

CATES’ GIRLFRIEND ROBERTA ‐‐ I GAVE HER MY WORD

THAT IT WOULDN’T COME BACK TO HER

THAT SHE’S GIVEN UP HER BOYFRIEND. YOU GOT IT.

I’LL HAVE CATES’ FILE ALL LAID OUT FOR YOU

WHEN YOU GET BACK. GOOD.

[ CELLULAR PHONE RINGS ]

WHY DON’T YOU GO AHEAD AND TAKE THAT?

HEY, MR. LEVIN. HOW ARE YOU DOING?

NO.

CAN I HELP YOU?

THEY SAID TO COME UP.

DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO REPORT?

MY SISTER IS IN TROUBLE.

UH, WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE?

I DON’T KNOW, BUT I’M SUPPOSED TO GIVE A MAN $1,000

TO HELP HER.

WHAT MAN?

I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON.

LET’S GO TALK. THIS WAY.

AND, UH, JUST TAKE IT EASY, OKAY?

MY FATHER GOT A CALL IN MEXICO TWO DAYS AGO FROM A PRIEST

WHO SAID MY SISTER WAS IN TROUBLE.

BUT FOR $1,000, HE’D HELP HER.

WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE?

HE DON’T SAY, ONLY THAT SHE IN TROUBLE.

MAYBE SHE GET HURT.

WHAT’S YOUR SISTER’S NAME? LUISA LOPEZ.

WHEN’S THE LAST TIME ANYONE SAW HER? ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO.

AND THAT WAS THE LAST YOU SPOKE TO HER?

HOW COME?

WHERE’S HOME?

SANTIAGO TUXTLA ‐‐ LITTLE TOWN, A POOR TOWN.

BUT SHE’S TOO YOUNG. HOW OLD IS SHE?

WHAT EXACTLY DID THE PRIEST SAY WHEN HE CALLED YOUR FATHER?

THAT SHE IN NEW YORK, AND PUT $1,000 IN WESTERN UNION.

BUT MY FATHER NO HAVE MONEY.

SO HE TELL THE PRIEST, HE CALL ME.

AND I COME MEET HIM TODAY. YOU SET A TIME?

I HAVE NUMBER FOR PAGE HIM.

BUT HE SAY MY FATHER, NO TELL POLICE, OR SHE GET KILLED.

BUT I THINK ABOUT, AND I NO LIKE WHAT HE SAY.

BUT WE NEED YOU TO WEAR A RECORDING DEVICE

SO WE CAN HEAR.

OKAY.

NO DESCRIPTION.

WHAT DO YOU GOT?

THIS GUY GOT A CALL ABOUT HIS SISTER

WHO HE HASN’T SEEN IN TWO YEARS.

SOME GUY CLAIMING TO BE A PRIEST SAYS HE NEEDS $1,000

TO HELP GET THE SISTER OUT OF SOME TROUBLE.

OH, THAT SOUNDS LEGITIMATE.

YEAH, WELL, OUR GUY’S SUPPOSED TO PAGE THE PRIEST

TO ARRANGE A MEETING, SO WE NEED TO GET HIM WIRED UP.

WHY DON’T YOU TWO HELP OUT ON THAT?

YEAH, YOU GOT IT.

JOSH, WANT TO SIT ON THIS GUY IN THE POKEY?

NO PROBLEM.

THERE’S NOTHING OFF CANVASS DOWN AT THE DELI,

BUT A COUPLE OF PEOPLE SAW TWO BLACK MALES

Greg: YEAH, CRIME SCENE’S DOWN THERE PROCESSING IT.

OH, YEAH? YOU MIND IF I SIT IN ON THAT?

[ COUGHS ]

UH, ME AND CONNIE ARE TAKING THEO TO DISNEY WORLD.

WE’RE LEAVING FRIDAY, AND WE’LL BE GONE FOR A WEEK.

SO, UH, INSTEAD OF YOU GUYS TRYING TO GUESS,

THAT’S WHAT WE’RE DOING. SO IF THERE’S ANY COMMENTS,

ANY BALL‐BUSTING, ANYBODY GOT A PROBLEM WITH IT,

GET IT OUT NOW.

HAVE A GOOD TIME.

ALL RIGHT. WE BETTER GET GOING.

WHERE YOU BEEN THIS MORNING, TERENCE?

WITH MY GIRL.

DID YOU STOP BY NAPOLI DELI OVER ON BROOME STREET?

I WASN’T ANYWHERE NEAR IT.

TERENCE, COME ON. I AIN’T LYING!

COME ON, WE KNOW YOU WERE NEAR THAT DELI,

SO IF YOU’RE LYING ABOUT THAT,

WE FIGURE YOU’RE LYING ABOUT EVERYTHING.

I AIN’T BEEN OUT OF HARLEM IN THREE DAYS!

SEE, WHAT THIS CONVERSATION NEEDS TO BE ABOUT

IS WHAT HAPPENED AT THE DELI THIS MORNING,

’CAUSE WE GOT WITNESSES WHO PICKED YOUR PHOTO OUT.

FOR WHAT?

YOU ROBBING THE PLACE.

Y’ALL ARE CRAZY.

WE’RE GOING TO RUN A LINEUP THEN, TERENCE.

ONCE YOU GET PICKED OUT OF THAT, IT’S OVER WITH.

NO DEALS, NOTHING FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS.

STRAIGHT TIME ‐‐ LOTS OF IT.

RUN YOUR DAMN LINEUP THEN!

I DIDN’T DO NOTHING THIS MORNING

EXCEPT HUMP MY GIRLFRIEND AND HAVE SOME COCOA PUFFS.

ASK HER!

OH, YEAH, ASK YOUR GIRLFRIEND WHO’S GOT A RECORD,

YOUR GIRLFRIEND WHO’D LIE TO PROTECT YOU,

YOUR GIRLFRIEND WHOSE WORD DOESN’T MEAN JACK?

SO THIS IS HOW IT IS, HUH? YEAH.

WELL, SCREW YOU THEN!

ALL RIGHT, GET UP, DICKHEAD.

YOU’RE GOING TO STAND IN THE LINEUP,

AND THEN WE’RE GOING TO CHARGE YOU WITH MURDER. MURDER?

YEAH, UNLESS SOMETHING HAPPENED DIFFERENT

THAT WE DON’T KNOW ABOUT. I DIDN’T DO NO MURDER!

ALL RIGHT, LET’S GO. OKAY, LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN.

I DONE SOME STICKUPS, I’LL ADMIT TO THAT.

BUT I DIDN’T SHOOT NOBODY AT NO DELI ‐‐

NOT THIS MORNING, NOT EVER!

WRONG! WE KNOW YOU DID.

MAYBE THE GUY BEHIND THE COUNTER PULLED A GUN.

YOU HAD NO CHOICE, OR YOUR BUDDY WATCHING THE DOOR ‐‐

MAYBE IT WAS HIS IDEA. NO!

LET’S GO. I DIDN’T DO NO MURDER!

I DIDN’T DO NO MURDER! I DIDN’T DO NO MURDER!

YOU PULL AN ACT LIKE THAT DURING THE LINEUP,

YOU’LL GET WHEELED OUT OF HERE ON A GURNEY. YOU HEAR ME?

Rita: SO, UH, DISNEY WORLD SHOULD BE FUN.

YEAH.

RITA, I DON’T WANT YOU TO THINK I’VE BEEN

KEEPING ANYTHING FROM YOU ABOUT ME AND ANDY.

CONNIE, I GOT NOTHING BUT GOOD WISHES.

THE FACT IS, YOU KNOW, WE’RE REALLY JUST GOOD FRIENDS.

WITH AN EYE TOWARD SOMETHING MORE OR...

I DON’T KNOW.

ALL I’M SAYING, YOU KNOW, GOING AWAY TOGETHER,

THERE’S, UH, THERE’S OPPORTUNITY.

WELL, I’M NOT SAYING IT WOULDN’T BE UNCONVENTIONAL.

WHO CARES?

I AGREE.

HE’S A GREAT GUY. HE’S A GREAT FATHER,

AND IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN,

I DON’T SEE IT ENDING IN SIX MONTHS,

WHICH IS MY REGULAR SCENE WITH GUYS MY AGE.

YOU JUST GET SICK OF ’EM?

NO, I GET SICK OF THE SELF‐ABSORBED,

WHICH IS GENERALLY WHAT I END UP WITH, SO...

IT’S RARE WHEN THEY’RE NOT.

HE’S A GOOD, SMART, STABLE MAN,

AND WHEN I’M WITH HIM, I FEEL SAFE, PROTECTED.

YOU CAN’T BEAT THAT.

SO...McDOWELL AND ANDY.

YEAH, HUH?

DID YOU SEE THAT COMING?

’CAUSE PERSONALLY, I’M BLIND‐SIDED.

SHE HAS BEEN BABYSITTING THEO FOR A WHILE.

I MEAN,

DO YOU THINK THEY’RE, UH, YOU KNOW,

TOGETHER?

IF A GIRL’S GOING TO FLORIDA WITH ME,

WE’RE TOGETHER.

BUT YOU GOT TO FACTOR IN THEO.

THAT MEANS SEPARATE ROOMS.

SURE, BUT A 6‐YEAR‐OLD’S ASLEEP BY 8:30.

YEAH, I HEAR YOU.

GO, ANDY.

MY MAN.

HEY, I THINK THIS IS HIM.

Medavoy: TWO TO SQUAD ONE ‐‐

WE GOT A PRIEST MOVING SOUTH TOWARD OUR GUY.

10‐4, SQUAD TWO.

OKAY, OKAY. SEÑOR LOPEZ.

[ SPEAKING SPANISH ]

[ SPEAKS SPANISH ]

THE PRIEST ASKED, "WHERE’S THE MONEY?"

LOPEZ ASKED, WHERE’S HIS SISTER?

[ TRUCK ENGINE RUNNING ]

NOTHING. WE’RE GETTING NOTHING.

THE PRIEST IS STARTING TO TAKE OFF.

SQUAD ONE TO TWO, MOVE IN.

EXCUSE ME, FATHER. WE’RE GOING TO NEED YOU TO COME WITH US.

WHAT FOR?

WE’RE GOING TO NEED TO ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS.

I AM FATHER FERNANDO VILLEJOS.

I AM TRYING TO HELP THIS MAN. WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?

COME ON, WE’LL TELL YOU.

HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING, PADRE?

WHAT IS THIS?

WHAT IS GOING ON?

WELL, FOR A START, YOU’RE UNDER ARREST

FOR ASSAULTING A POLICE OFFICER.

IF YOU SAY ANOTHER WORD, I’LL STRANGLE YOU WITH THAT COLLAR.

LOOK, DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT.

IT’S NOT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM, OKAY?

HE’S GOING TO LOOK JUST LIKE HE DID IN THE PICTURE.

HE’LL PROBABLY BE WEARING DIFFERENT CLOTHES.

GARY, CAN YOU GIVE US A MINUTE? YEAH, SURE.

WE GOT A PROBLEM?

YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT, DETECTIVE.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP THE GUY RELAX.

YOU’RE COACHING HIM. I WASN’T COACHING HIM.

KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT, HUGHES, BEFORE YOU TAINT THE I. D.

ALL RIGHT.

READY.

OKAY?

YEAH.

RECOGNIZE ANYONE?

NUMBER TWO.

HELL, YEAH.

WHAT DO YOU RECOGNIZE HIM FROM?

HE WAS THE ONE WHO SHOT MY UNCLE.

ALL RIGHT.

EVERYBODY RELAX IN THERE.

WE DID IT. WE CAUGHT THE SON OF A BITCH.

HEY, GARY, WE’RE GOING TO NEED YOU TO STICK AROUND,

GIVE US A STATEMENT.

Gary: SURE, WHATEVER YOU NEED.

YOU WANT ME TO TAKE CATES DOWN TO CENTRAL BOOKING?

NO, WE’LL HAVE UNIFORM DO IT.

GO ON. TAKE OFF. WELL, WHO’S DOING THE FIVES?

WE WILL. DON’T WORRY, YOU’LL BE MENTIONED.

GREAT.

COME ON, GAR.

YOU KNOW THIS GUY?

HE’S BEEN AFTER THIS CATES FOR A WHILE, I GUESS.

HE’S A LITTLE...INVESTED.

ALL RIGHT, "FATHER,"

YOU’RE TALKING TO A CATHOLIC SCHOOL KID,

AND I’M TAKING THIS REAL PERSONAL.

SO ADMIT YOU’RE A PHONY NOW,

OR YOU WON’T LEAVE THIS ROOM WITH YOUR TEETH INTACT.

I GUESS I AM MORE OF A PRIVATE DO‐GOODER, EH?

A PRIVATE DO‐GOODER WHO TAKES SWIPES AT WOMEN?

HEY.

A COSTUME SHOP LABEL. WHAT’S YOUR REAL NAME?

AND YOUR PRINTS ARE BEING RUN, SO IF THEY DON’T COME BACK

TO THE NAME YOU’RE ABOUT TO SAY,

YOU’RE GUMMING MUSH FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

FRED PESCADO, OKAY?

CAN YOU CALM DOWN?

WHAT’S YOUR STORY, FRED?

I’M JUST TRYING TO HELP A FRIEND.

LUISA LOPEZ.

SHE OWES A LOAN SHARK.

18‐YEAR‐OLD GIRL FROM PODUNK, MEXICO

OWES A LOAN SHARK? START AGAIN, FRED.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK, THE TRUTH ‐‐ BUT IT CAN’T GET BACK TO ME.

SHE HAS A BAD HEROIN PROBLEM, AND SHE WANTS TO QUIT.

BUT SHE’S ASHAMED TO TELL HER FOLKS,

SO I SAID I’D HELP OUT. BY RUNNING A CON.

IT WAS HER IDEA.

WHERE ARE WE GOING TO FIND LUISA?

I JUST SEE HER WHEN I SEE HER.

SO IF THIS WENT ACCORDING TO PLAN,

YOU WOULD HAVE JUST HELD ON TO HER GRAND

UNTIL YOU HAPPENED ON EACH OTHER.

YEAH. AND SHE COULD’VE GOTTEN HELP BY NOW,

BUT, YOU KNOW, I DON’T KNOW...

AAH!

DROP THE SAINT ACT, YOU PHONY PRICK,

OR YOU’RE LOOKING AT A FULL BIT FOR ASSAULTING A COP,

GRAND LARCENY EXTORTION,

AND CRIMINAL IMPERSONATION OF A PRIEST!

I SWEAR, SHE PUT ME UP TO IT!

LET’S CONFIRM THAT. WHERE IS SHE?

SHE’S NOT GOING TO CONFIRM IT. SHE’LL PUT IT ALL ON ME.

WHERE IS SHE?

WE’RE TALKING ABOUT A JUNKIE WHORE.

WHERE IS SHE? RIGHT NOW!

MASSAGE PARLOR ON STANTON.

WE’RE TAKING A RIDE. COME ON.

FELLAS, CRIME SCENE GOT A PRINT

OFF THE CIGARETTE PACK LEFT ON THE DELI COUNTER ‐‐

DARON HODGES.

LENGTHY SHEET. LOTS OF PRIORS, INCLUDING ROBBERIES.

LIVES 10 BLOCKS FROM THE DELI.

THE PERP WAS BUYING CIGARETTES, RIGHT? YEAH.

HOW’D THIS GUY’S PRINTS GET ON THE SMOKES?

IS GARY STILL IN THE COFFEE ROOM

WRITING UP HIS STATEMENT? YEAH.

WE’LL FIND OUT.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

GARY, UH, THE GUY WHO SHOT YOUR UNCLE,

DID HE TOUCH THE PACK OF CIGARETTES THAT HE ASKED FOR

BEFORE THIS WHOLE THING WENT DOWN? YEAH.

HE WAS KNOCKING ’EM AGAINST HIS PALM,

AND THEN HE SET ’EM DOWN.

ALL RIGHT.

THIS IS A MURDER INVESTIGATION,

SO I DON’T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.

DID YOUR UNCLE BUY STOLEN CIGARETTES AND RESELL ’EM?

NO. WE BUY ’EM LEGIT.

YOU SELL A LOT OF CIGARETTES?

I MEAN, UH, DO YOU GO THROUGH YOUR INVENTORY PRETTY QUICK?

YEAH. CIGARETTES, LOTTO TICKETS, AND BEER.

THAT’S WHERE WE MAKE OUR MONEY.

ANY OTHER EMPLOYEES AT THE DELI?

JUST MY AUNT AND UNCLE,

AND I’VE BEEN THERE SIX MONTHS NOW.

YOU KNOW A DARON HODGES? NO.

WE GOT A FINGERPRINT ON THE CIGARETTES

THAT WERE ON THE COUNTER WHEN YOUR UNCLE GOT SHOT.

THEY COME BACK TO THIS DARON HODGES.

SO, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW HIS PRINTS GOT ON THERE.

I HAVE NO IDEA.

ALL RIGHT, NOW, ARE YOU SURE THE GUY THAT YOU PICKED OUT ‐‐

TERENCE CATES ‐‐ IS THE GUY WHO SHOT YOUR UNCLE?

YES. WHERE’S DETECTIVE HUGHES?

I LIKE DEALING WITH HIM.

NOW, WAS THE GUY YOU PICKED OUT

MAYBE THE GUY KEEPING AN EYE OUT BY THE DOOR? NO.

NOW, YOU NEED TO BE SURE, GARY,

’CAUSE THIS CATES IS LOOKING AT MURDER.

YEAH, I KNOW. I WAS THERE WHEN HE DID IT.

WE’RE JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE GOT THE RIGHT GUY.

I’M TELLING YOU, CATES IS THE RIGHT GUY.

YOU GOT A FINGERPRINT PROBLEM OR SOMETHING.

ALL RIGHT.

KEEP WRITING.

GET BACK IN YOUR SEAT!

WHOA! UH, WHAT’S GOING ON?

HEY, BACK OFF! THIS IS A LEGITIMATE BUSINESS,

AND I DON’T SEE NO WARRANTS.

Greg: YOU GOT A LUISA LOPEZ WORKING HERE?

I SAY NOTHING WITHOUT MY LAWYER.

HEY, TAKE IT EASY. ALL WE WANT IS LUISA LOPEZ.

YEAH, WE GOT THE BACK.

WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH HER? WHERE IS SHE, ASSHOLE?

IN THE BACK. DOOR’S LOCKED.

I’LL BUZZ YOU. THEN YOU’RE GONE,

OR I’M CALLING MY LAWYER.

JUST SIT DOWN.

LUISA LOPEZ?

SU NOMBRE ES LUISA LOPEZ?

YOU. TAKE A WALK.

Man: EXCUSE ME.

POLICE! UP AGAINST THE WALL. OH, MY GOD.

SHUT UP. PUT YOUR PANTS ON.

LUISA LOPEZ?

LUISA LOPEZ. IS THAT YOUR NAME?

COME ON.

I SWEAR, SHE WAS JUST GIVING ME A MASSAGE.

SHUT UP, OR YOU’RE A COLLAR.

HUGHES, SIPOWICZ.

WE GOT A FINGERPRINT HIT OFF THE CIGARETTE PACK

LEFT ON THE COUNTER AT THE DELI.

IT COMES BACK TO A DIFFERENT GUY.

YEAH, WELL, THAT’S WHAT WE’RE TRYING TO FIND OUT.

IT AIN’T THAT EASY, HUGHES, YOU KNOW,

BUT WE HAVE TO FIND AN ANSWER FOR THIS ‐‐

[ SIGHS ]

WELL, GET BACK HERE AS SOON AS YOU’RE DONE.

LITTLE UPDATE FOR US FROM COMMUNICATIONS.

GARY DIDN’T MAKE THE 911 CALL FROM THE DELI.

HE MADE IT FROM A PAY PHONE TWO BLOCKS DOWN.

SO I RUN GARY.

HE’S ON PROBATION FOR DEALING COKE TWO YEARS AGO.

I’M ALMOST DONE HERE.

NOW, WHAT HAPPENED AT THE DELI THIS MORNING, GARY?

AND THIS TIME, DON’T LIE.

WHAT’S WITH YOU GUYS?

YOU DIDN’T MAKE NO 911 CALL FROM THE DELI.

YOU MADE IT FROM A PAY PHONE TWO BLOCKS AWAY.

OKAY, SO I CALLED FROM DOWN THE BLOCK

AFTER I CHASED THE GUYS.

IT’S NOT LIKE THERE WASN’T A LOT GOING ON.

YOU GOT BUSTED FOR DEALING COKE TWO YEARS BACK.

SO? YOU SET THIS UP, GARY?

DID IT GO BAD? YOU GOT A LOT OF BALLS ACCUSING ME OF THAT.

WHY DID YOU LIE ABOUT CALLING 9‐1‐1 FROM TWO BLOCKS AWAY?

I CHASED THOSE TWO BLACK GUYS ‐‐

QUIT LYING TO US!

I RAN, OKAY?

UNCLE TONY WAS GETTING THE REGISTER OPEN,

THE BLACK GUY TOOK HIS EYES OFF ME,

SO I DOVE AROUND THE CORNER AND I RAN OUT THE BACK DOOR.

THAT’S WHEN I HEARD THE GUNSHOT.

MY UNCLE TONY, MY AUNT JOSIE

GAVE ME A JOB, GAVE ME A SECOND CHANCE.

I SHOULD’VE STAYED. I SHOULD’VE STAYED COOL.

SO THIS GUY YOU PICKED OUT EARLIER ‐‐ CATES ‐‐

HE WASN’T THERE AT ALL?

HE WASN’T THE GUY AT THE DOOR OR NOTHING? NO.

HOW’D YOU PICK CATES OUT OF THE PHOTO ARRAY THEN?

DID DETECTIVE HUGHES HELP YOU OUT?

I COULD TELL CATES WAS THE GUY HE WANTED ME TO PICK.

ALL RIGHT. WE GOT ANOTHER PHOTO ARRAY FOR YOU.

TELL US IF YOU RECOGNIZE ANYONE.

HIM. NO DOUBT IN MY MIND.

HE PULLED THE GUN ON US.

DARON.

ME PICKING OUT CATES EARLIER,

AM I TROUBLE FOR THAT?

IS THAT GOING TO CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS?

IT SURE DOESN’T HELP THE CASE, GARY.

HAVE A SEAT, LUISA.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU WORKED AT THE MASSAGE PARLOR?

ONE YEAR.

WE GOT WORD THAT YOU WERE IN DANGER.

IS THERE ANY TRUTH TO THAT? NO.

DO YOU DO DRUGS, LUISA?

NO DRUGS.

DID YOU KNOW SOMEONE CONTACTED YOUR FAMILY,

ASKING FOR MONEY ON YOUR BEHALF?

NO.

THEY SAID YOU WERE IN TROUBLE

AND NEEDED MONEY TO GET FREE.

IT’S NOT TRUE.

LUISA, IF YOU NEEDED MONEY FOR DRUGS

OR FOR ANYTHING ELSE, AND YOU TOLD SOMEONE

TO CALL YOUR FAMILY AND SAY YOU WERE KIDNAPPED,

TELL US NOW, OR YOU COULD GO TO JAIL FOR FIVE YEARS.

I NO TALK TO NOBODY.

DO YOU KNOW THE NAME FRED PESCADO

OR FERNANDO VILLEJOS?

NO.

NO?

WHAT ABOUT ROJELIO OBREGUN?

WHO TOLD YOU THIS NAME?

YOUR BROTHER ENRIQUE.

WHEN YOU SPEAK TO ENRIQUE? TODAY.

WHERE IS HE? HE’S HERE IN NEW YORK, WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

LUISA, DID ROJELIO PUT YOU UP TO THIS?

I NO SEE HIM IN TWO YEAR.

DOES ENRIQUE KNOW ABOUT THE MASSAGE PARLOR?

WELL, WE DON’T THINK SO.

PLEASE NO TELL ENRIQUE. PLEASE NO TELL HIM

WHAT I AM DOING, OR HE COULD BE HURT.

WHO WILL HURT HIM? PLEASE, I’M BEGGING YOU.

LUISA, DID SOMEONE THREATEN YOU? PLEASE NO SAY.

IF SOMEONE THREATENED YOU OR YOUR FAMILY,

WE WANT TO HELP YOU,

BUT YOU HAVE TO TELL US WHAT’S GOING ON.

TELL ENRIQUE GO HOME, GO AWAY.

I AM ASHAMED. IF I’M GO TO JAIL, IT’S OKAY.

BUT PLEASE NO TELL ENRIQUE.

WE’LL BE BACK IN A LITTLE WHILE.

Man: YEAH.

POLICE. WE NEED TO TALK TO DARON.

HE AIN’T HERE. WE KNOW HE’S THERE.

OPEN THE DOOR, OR WE’RE GOING TO TAKE IT DOWN.

OPEN THE DOOR!

WE’RE COMING IN!

WHERE’S DARON? I DON’T KNOW!

WHO ARE YOU? I’M KELVIN. I’M HIS LITTLE BROTHER.

TELL ME WHERE DARON IS! I DON’T KNOW!

HOW OLD ARE YOU? I’M 16.

WHO ELSE LIVES HERE? MY MOM.

HEY, SHOW ME YOUR HANDS, SHOW ME YOUR HANDS!

IT’S ALL RIGHT, KELVIN. IT’S ALL RIGHT. STAY COOL!

GOT ANYTHING ON YOU? HUH?

TELL MA I’LL CALL HER LATER, ALL RIGHT?

WHERE YOU BEEN THIS MORNING, DARON?

I WAS DOING MY THING.

YEAH? GET SPECIFIC. YOU MEAN, LIKE, THE WHOLE DAY?

YEAH, UP UNTIL YOU PLAYED HIDE‐AND‐SEEK IN THE CLOSET.

AH, NO, NO, NO.

SEE, I THOUGHT YOU WAS THE LANDLORD, SEE.

BECAUSE ME AND HIM, WE GOT FINANCIAL DISCREPANCIES.

YEAH, YEAH. WHY DON’T YOU ACCOUNT FOR YOUR DAY, DARON?

I WOKE UP AT 10:00, HAD ME SOME BREAKFAST.

I WENT DOWN TO AARON’S,

SPENT THE REST OF THE DAY DIGGING THROUGH RECORDS.

WHEN DID YOU STOP BY NAPOLI DELI?

I GUESS BEFORE I WENT RECORD SHOPPING.

WHAT DID YOU DO THERE?

BOUGHT ME SOME SMOKES.

WHO WERE YOU THERE WITH? NOBODY.

WE GOT WITNESSES SAW YOU WALKING AWAY FROM THE DELI

WITH A BLACK MALE.

[ Mocking ] WELL, I WAS NOT WALKING

WITH ANOTHER BLACK MALE, SIR!

WATCH YOUR MOUTH.

I WAS BY MYSELF THIS MORNING. WE KNOW YOU’RE LYING.

SEEMS LIKE YOU GUYS KNOW EVERYTHING.

I’M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU AGAIN.

WHY DON’T YOU TELL ME WHAT THIS GOT TO DO WITH ME, MAN?

BECAUSE THAT’S ALL I GIVE A DAMN ABOUT.

YOU ROBBING THAT DELI THIS MORNING.

MNH‐MNH, MNH‐MNH. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. FORGET IT.

DARON, WE GOT WITNESSES. WE’LL HAVE YOU STAND

IN A LINEUP. ONCE YOU GET PICKED OUT,

NOTHING WE CAN DO FOR YOU THEN.

THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.

TAP ON ME ALL YOU WANT. I DIDN’T ROB NO DELI.

THEN IT’S THE HARD ROAD.

I’VE BEEN DOWN IT BEFORE. NOT THIS ONE.

ALL RIGHT, GET IN.

[ SPEAKS SPANISH ]

[ BOTH SPEAKING SPANISH ]

NO, NO.

[ SPEAKING SPANISH ]

I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SEE HIM AGAIN.

WELL, THAT’S OVER NOW.

I WAS COME HERE BY ROJELIO OBREGUN

TO WORK IN A RESTAURANT,

BUT HE NO HAVE MONEY TO PAY COYOTE.

SO COYOTE SELL ME TO HECTOR SANTOS.

THE MAN WHO RUNS THE MASSAGE PARLOR.

HE SAY I OWE HIM $3,000,

AND I NEED TO BE WITH MEN TO PAY IT OFF.

MANY MEN.

DID HE THREATEN YOUR FAMILY?

HE SAID IF WE GO TO POLICE, HE KILL OUR FAMILY.

HE KNOW WHERE WE LIVE.

YOU SAID BEFORE YOU DIDN’T KNOW FRED PESCADO

OR FERNANDO VILLEJOS. WAS THAT TRUE?

HE WORK WITH HECTOR.

HE RUN AROUND AND GET THINGS FOR HIM.

HE’S A BAD MAN.

I THOUGHT I WAS KILL MYSELF.

I THINK I NEVER GO HOME AGAIN.

EVER, EVER.

HAVING FUN, FRED?

NO.

WELL, TOO BAD. YOU’RE FACING 30 YEARS OF IT.

WHAT 30 YEARS? I TRIED TO HELP THAT GIRL.

SHE GAVE YOU UP, ASSHOLE, GAVE UP THE OPERATION.

I DIDN’T FIGURE YOU GUYS WERE DUMB ENOUGH

TO TAKE THE WORD OF A JUNKIE.

SEX SLAVE, FRIEND.

KIDNAPPED, RAPED, BEATEN.

SHE’S LYING.

AND, UH, JUANA GONZALEZ, ESTHER MEDINA,

MARIA SANCHEZ ‐‐ WHO WE JUST BROUGHT IN ‐‐

THEY LYING, TOO,

BUT SOMEHOW ALL TELLING THE SAME STORY?

MULTIPLY THE COUNT BY THE NUMBER OF GIRLS,

THAT’S 30 YEARS. EASY.

I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT STUFF.

I DO THINGS FOR HECTOR. I GET HIS DRY CLEANING.

AND SCAM HIS GIRLS. HE DON’T PAY MUCH.

HECTOR SAID IT DON’T WORK LIKE THAT, FRED.

YEAH, WELL, WHAT’S HE SAYING?

YOU FIND THE GIRLS, YOU SUCKER ’EM IN.

IT’S YOUR OPERATION. HE JUST KEEPS THE BOOKS.

THEN WHY IS IT HIM WITH THE SILK SHIRTS AND THE GOLD MOVADO,

AND ME IN AN ITCHY PRIEST SUIT, SCAMMING A STINKIN’ GRAND?

WELL, IF HE’S THE ONLY ONE TALKING,

WE GOT TO GO WITH HIS SIDE.

NAH...NAH, I’M NOT DOING NO 30 YEARS.

YOU PLAY IT RIGHT, YOU WON’T DO A DAY.

ALL RIGHT, I GOT NAMES.

LOTS OF NAMES.

LET’S HEAR ’EM.

I’LL GET SOMEONE FROM VICE.

I WAS THERE. THE WITNESS POSITIVELY I. D.’d THE FIRST GUY.

YEAH, I KNOW. I WAS THERE, TOO.

AND NOW HE’S GOING TO RECANT THAT,

AND IN THE SAME DAY, I. D. SOMEONE ELSE?

IT WOULDN’T HOLD UP IN A HEARING, LET ALONE A TRIAL.

’CAUSE THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY WOULD DESTROY

THIS GUY’S CREDIBILITY IN 10 SECONDS.

CAN WE SALVAGE ANYTHING FROM THE WITNESS?

HIM ALONE NOW WON’T DO US ANY GOOD.

ANY OTHER WITNESSES? NOT YET.

THAT HOTSHOT FROM ROBBERY HAVE ANYTHING TO DO

WITH THIS BAD I. D.?

YOU KNOW I WOULDN’T TELL YOU IF HE DID.

HOW SURE ARE WE THAT THE NEPHEW WASN’T INVOLVED SOMEHOW?

WE’RE NOT THAT SURE. HE SAYS HE LIED

ABOUT THE DETAILS BECAUSE HE RAN AWAY FROM THE SCENE,

BUT I DON’T KNOW.

SHOWING PHOTOS OF DARON HODGES’ RUNNING BUDDIES TO GARY,

SEE WHO MIGHT’VE BEEN STANDING BY THE DOOR THIS MORNING.

HE JUST PICKED OUT DARON’S 16‐YEAR‐OLD BROTHER KELVIN.

THE KID AT THE APARTMENT. YEAH.

HOW DID WE GET THE BROTHER’S PHOTO?

HE HAVE A RECORD? HE TOOK A COLLAR

FOR SMOKING A JOINT IN THE PARK WITH HIS BUDDIES.

I GOT TO GIVE IT TO YOU, DARON.

YOU HAD US GOING THERE. GET UP.

FOR A MINUTE THERE, WE WERE, LIKE,

"DAMN, DID WE GET THE WRONG GUY?

I MEAN, DID DARON JUST GO IN THERE TO GET SOME SMOKES?"

GOT TO GIVE IT TO YOU.

SO THIS IS THE BEST FRIEND APPROACH WE TRYING NOW?

NO, I’M SERIOUS. HAVE A SEAT.

I MEAN, FOR A MINUTE THERE, WE THOUGHT WE MIGHT HAVE HAD

THE WRONG GUY, EVEN THOUGH A WITNESS I. D.’d YOU

AS THE SHOOTER. GREAT.

BUT WHEN THE WITNESS PICKED OUT YOUR BROTHER KELVIN

AS THE GUY KEEPING AN EYE OUT BY THE DOOR,

THAT’S WHEN WE KNEW WE HAD THE RIGHT GUY.

PINNING THE CRIME ON THE BLACK GUY.

THAT’S ALL THIS IS.

YOUR BROTHER SEEMS LIKE A GOOD KID.

YOU LOOK OUT FOR HIM, DON’T YOU?

OTHER THAN GETTING POPPED FOR SMOKING A JOINT IN THE PARK,

HE’S KEPT IT CLEAN.

IT’S GOING TO WEIGH PRETTY HEAVY ON YOUR MIND, DARON,

WHEN KELVIN GOES UP FOR ACTING IN CONCERT ‐‐

YOUR 16‐YEAR‐OLD BROTHER DOING ADULT TIME

IN AN ADULT PRISON.

OR MAYBE THIS ROBBERY WAS KELVIN’S IDEA,

WHICH MEANS HE’LL GET EVEN MORE TIME.

WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN, TOO, IF YOU KEEP SITTING HERE POSING.

COP TO WHAT YOU DID, DARON.

I MEAN, THE GUY YOU SHOT,

IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S GOING TO PULL THROUGH,

SO YOU’RE JUST LOOKING AT AN ASSAULT CHARGE.

IF YOU DON’T, I WILL MAKE SURE

THAT YOUR BROTHER DOES TIME FOR ROBBERY

AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.

KELVIN DIDN’T KNOW NOTHING.

I JUST TOLD HIM I WAS GOING IN FOR SOME SMOKES.

HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE DELI?

THE PLACE WAS EMPTY, I HAD MY GUN,

I JUST DECIDED ON THE SPOT

I’M GOING TO TAKE ’EM ALL FOR THE CASH.

EVERYTHING WAS COOL UNTIL THE ONE GUY

RAN AROUND THE CORNER AND TOOK OFF.

I GOT UPTIGHT AND...

KELVIN DIDN’T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT.

LEAVE HIM OUT OF THIS.

ALL RIGHT.

SO THE OLD GUY BEHIND THE COUNTER,

HE GOING ‐‐ HE GOING TO LIVE?

LAST WE HEARD.

WRITE IT DOWN.

SORRY. I GOT A LITTLE WAYLAID.

YOU KNOW, I HEAR YOU GOT A PERSONAL SECURITY BUSINESS

THAT’S DOING PRETTY GOOD.

YEAH?

I HOPE THIS JOB DOESN’T INTERFERE WITH IT.

WE HAVEN’T GOT A RAISE IN OVER FIVE YEARS.

I’M TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR MY FAMILY.

WELL, YOU GOT YOUR PRIORITIES A LITTLE TWISTED HERE, PAL.

SO IT TURNED OUT NOT TO BE CATES? YES OR NO?

THAT’S A BIG NO.

YOU COULDN’T HAVE TOLD ME THAT ON THE PHONE?

YOU KNOW, IT’S GUYS LIKE YOU

THAT GIVE VALIDITY TO EVERY SCUMBAG DEFENSE ATTORNEY

WHO BREAKS COPS’ BALLS ON THE WITNESS STAND.

IS THIS LESSON TIME NOW? ’CAUSE I’M NOT INTERESTED.

LOOK, YOU PUT A BAD COLLAR ON A GUY, HUGHES.

JUST DON’T FORGET THAT.

IF THIS WOULD’VE BEEN FOR THE HUNDRED OTHER THINGS

THAT CATES DIDN’T GET CAUGHT FOR ‐‐

YEAH, THAT’S GREAT. TAKE OFF.

WHAT?

TAKE OFF.

NIGHT.

HERE. WANT ONE?

IT’S A GOOD SPOT.

YEAH, IT’S A NEIGHBORHOOD PLACE.

NICE PEOPLE.

ARE WE DUE A CONVERSATION?

ABOUT WHAT, YOU AND ME?

WELL, I JUST KNOW WHAT YOU’VE BEEN THROUGH,

AND YOU CAN TALK TO ME ABOUT ANYTHING...OR NOT.

AHEM. I’M ALMOST AFRAID TO

’CAUSE I DON’T WANT TO JINX A GOOD THING.

WELL, THERE’S NOTHING TO SAY

THAT WE CAN’T KEEP A GOOD THING GOING.

I CAN’T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I’D LIKE THAT TO HAPPEN,

BUT, UM, I KEEP THINKING ANOTHER SHOE’S GOING TO DROP.

I DON’T HAVE ANY TIME BOMBS ON ME, SO...

WHAT YOU’RE SEEING, THAT’S WHO I AM.

I’M NOT TRYING TO GET US AHEAD OF OURSELVES.

HOWEVER LONG THIS LASTS, I JUST WANT TO ENJOY IT.

THAT’S GOOD FOR ME.

THIRD FLOOR, ONE QUEEN. YEAH, SOUNDS GOOD.

HERE YOU GO. THANK YOU.

DAD, YOU COULD PUT ONE IN YOUR BAG.

I’M NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY ROOM FOR MY STUFF, THEO.

LOOK, I‐I SAID ONE TOY, BUT IT CAN’T BE THE FIRE TRUCK.

BUT WHAT IF I NEED IT?

THANKS.

I, UH, I’M ON THE FLOOR BELOW YOU GUYS.

PERFECT.

YOU KNOW...

WHY I’D WANT YOU TO COME WITH ME IS A NO‐BRAINER, BUT...

WHY YOU’D ACTUALLY SAY YES IS SOMETHING

I‐I’M HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING MY HEAD AROUND.

WHATEVER IT IS I DO FOR YOU, HOWEVER I MAKE YOU FEEL,

YOU DO THE SAME FOR ME.

I CAN’T IMAGINE HAVING THAT KIND OF LUCK.

WELL, YOU DON’T HAVE TO IMAGINE ANYTHING.

IT’S RIGHT HERE.

I NEED SOMEONE BIG TO STAND ON MY BAG

SO I CAN CLOSE IT.

ALL RIGHT, WHY DON’T WE SEE IF WE CAN PARE IT DOWN

A LITTLE BIT FIRST, OKAY, KIDDO?

FINE.

CONNIE, I’M GLAD YOU’RE COMING.

ME TOO.

COME ON.

ALL RIGHT, LET ME SEE THIS BAG.

THIS IS TOO MUCH, SWEETIE.

WE HAVE TO TAKE THIS OFF FIRST.

OH! WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

THEO...
