PREVIOUSLY ON "NYPD BLUE"...

DID YOU BELIEVE

LIEUTENANT RODRIGUEZ INTENDED TO KILL YOU?

I HAD NO DOUBT.

HE STOOD UP, SAID IT WAS ME AND HIM ALONE.

HE WENT FOR HIS GUN.

NEXT THING I KNOW, I'M SHOT IN THE BACK.

DID YOU MOVE TOWARDS HIM AT ANY TIME?

NO, I NEVER CAME OUT FROM BEHIND MY DESK.

REACH FOR YOUR GUN AT ANY TIME?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

IT ALL COMES DOWN TO WHO YOU WANT TO BELIEVE.

A COP WHO'S BEEN THE TARGET

OF INVESTIGATIONS INVOLVING CORRUPTION,

OR A COP WHO HAS SPENT HIS ENTIRE CAREER

PROTECTING OUR CITY.

CAPTAIN FRAKER WALKED INTO LIEUTENANT RODRIGUEZ'S OFFICE

AND, UNPROVOKED, SHOT HIM.

I ASK YOU TO FIND CAPTAIN FRAKER GUILTY.

DUMP JOB?

YEAH.

SO, NO WORD YET ON THE VERDICT FOR THE LIEUTENANT.

IT'S 8:00, MEDAVOY.

YEAH, THERE'S NO WORD YET.

IT WAS A STATEMENT.

NO, IT WASN'T.

YOU'RE LOOKING TO START A CONVERSATION.

BUT THERE ISN'T ONE TO HAVE SINCE IT'S 8:00 A. M.

YOU KNOW WHAT? LET'S JUST STOP THIS NOW AND START OVER.

YES, JOHN, THERE IS A DUMP JOB

BY A SHOPPING CART DOWN BY THE WATER.

ANY I. D. YET?

I'D HAVE SAID SO.

BRUISES ON HER NECK ‐‐ LOOKS LIKE SHE'S BEEN KNOCKED AROUND.

NO SHOES, NO MAKEUP, NO PURSE ‐‐

I DON'T THINK SHE PLANNED ON GOING OUT.

WHO'S THE GUY IN THE BANANA SLING?

SWIMMER ‐‐ FOUND THE BODY.

TALK TO HIM YET?

I WAS WAITING FOR HIS SUIT TO LOSE THE SEE‐THROUGH ASPECT.

BUT BE MY GUEST.

PEOPLE ACTUALLY SWIM IN THERE?

THIS CART'S FROM A GROCERY STORE FOUR BLOCKS AWAY.

I SEEN BUMS PUSH THEM CARTS TO BROOKLYN AND BACK

TILL THE WHEELS FELL OFF.

ANYWAYS, LET'S GET BACK TO WORK.

DON'T WANT TO HAVE A PERSONAL CONVERSATION HERE.

[ SCOFFS ]

TRY AND GET SOME PRINTS OFF HER

AND WHOEVER ELSE MIGHT HAVE BEEN PUSHING THAT CART.

LET'S GO TALK TO JOHNNY WEISSMULLER OVER HERE.

AY, YI, YI.

WALLY MORING.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD A TETANUS SHOT?

COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.

HEPATITIS "A," TOO, SO I'M GOOD.

I'M TRAINING FOR THE MANHATTAN ISLAND MARATHON,

JUST GETTING USED TO THE WATER CHOP AND THE FLOTSAM AND STUFF.

CAN WE GET SOMEBODY TO PUT SOMETHING ON THIS GUY ‐‐

A BLANKET OR SOMETHING?

HOW'D YOU FIND HER, WALLY?

SHE WAS JUST THERE WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE WATER.

YOU HERE YESTERDAY, TOO?

EVERY MORNING THIS WEEK.

SHE WASN'T HERE YESTERDAY.

UNCLE.

YOU UP?

YEAH.

ANOTHER DUMP JOB ‐‐ WHITE FEMALE.

GET ON IT.

WHERE ARE WE ON THAT WATERFRONT D. O. A.?

JANELLE WOODRUFF ‐‐ A FEW MINOR BUSTS FOR POSSESSION.

ANYTHING OFF THE SHOPPING CART?

Medavoy: NOTHING SO FAR.

CRIME SCENE'S STILL CHECKING FOR PRINTS.

NO WITNESSES? NOTHING SOLID.

WE'LL HEAD OVER TO THE D. O. A.'s APARTMENT NOW.

UH, BOSS, DO YOU, UH...

DO YOU HAVE A STREET ON THIS?

IT'S ON THERE. NO, THERE'S JUST A NUMBER.

ST. MARK'S. I'LL DOUBLE‐CHECK, THOUGH.

IF IT'S NOT, I'LL GET YOU ON THE RADIO.

THANKS.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

THE JURY COULD BE DELIBERATING FOR DAYS.

THEY MIGHT EVEN GO THROUGH THE WHOLE WEEKEND,

SO LET'S JUST PUT THAT ASIDE AND GET ON WITH OUR BUSINESS.

[ DOOR SLAMS ]

YOU HEARD THE MAN.

WHITE FEMALE IN THE WEEDS. LOOKS LIKE SHE WAS STRANGLED.

THAT HER BAG?

STILL FISHING FOR I.D. IN THIS BLACK HOLE.

QUEEN OF COSMETICS IN HERE.

SHE DIDN'T WALK IN THIS LOT IN THOSE HEELS.

KNEES SCRAPED UP?

UH, NO.

NO, SHE WASN'T DRAGGED VERY FAR.

MAYBE FROM THE CURB.

MANUAL STRANGULATION.

NO UNDERWEAR, HIGH HEELS... BUT NO TRACKS.

NICE HAIR, TEETH.

SO IT'S TOO NICE FOR A WORKING GIRL.

YEAH.

GOT THE WALLET.

EVE BERLAY.

RIVERDALE ADDRESS, 40 YEARS OLD.

REALLY?

TWO KIDS, LOTS OF PHOTOS.

WHAT'S SHE DOING ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE?

WELL, WHOEVER DID THIS LEFT ALL HER CASH, CREDIT CARDS.

JEWELRY, TOO.

LOOK AT THIS.

"WWJD."

"WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?"

MAYBE IT'S "WHAT WOULD JESUS DRINK?"

I'VE SEEN THE T‐SHIRTS, BEARDED GUY IN SANDALS ON A HARLEY

HOLDING BOTTLES OF BOOZE IN HIS HANDS.

HAVEN'T SEEN THE SHIRT.

I'LL MAKE SURE THEY GET ON THE RAPE KIT.

WHAT WOULD JESUS DRINK?

COME ON, THAT'S FUNNY.

YEAH, ALL RIGHT, WE GOT IT.

15th SQUAD TO CENTRAL "K."

NOTHING.

YEAH. LET'S START A CANVASS.

[ KNOCKING ON DOORS ]

NYPD.

OH, SORRY.

UH...NO, IT'S NO PROBLEM.

DID YOU KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR JANELLE WOODRUFF?

NOT REALLY.

I HEARD SHE DIED.

YEAH, UNFORTUNATELY.

UM, WE'RE TRYING ‐‐ I'M SORRY.

[ Chuckling ] UH, MY NAME IS DETECTIVE CLARK.

THIS IS MY PARTNER, DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ.

HI.

AND YOUR NAME? MARLISSA DIAZ.

MARLISSA, HI.

WHAT WE NEED IS TO GET INTO JANELLE'S APARTMENT.

I DON'T HAVE A KEY.

I REALLY DIDN'T TALK TO HER MUCH.

DO YOU KNOW ANYBODY ELSE WHO DOES?

HAVE A KEY, I MEAN... TO HER APARTMENT.

NO, SHE REALLY KEPT TO HERSELF.

IS THERE A SUPER IN THE BUILDING?

I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.

BUT I JUST MOVED HERE A MONTH AGO.

THAT RIGHT? UH, WHERE YOU FROM?

PHILADELPHIA.

YEAH, THAT'S GREAT.

MY NEPHEW'S A BIG SIXERS FAN.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY JANELLE'S SON, MICHAEL.

HOW OLD'S MICHAEL? 13.

HE IN SCHOOL?

NO, I USUALLY SEE HIM HANGING OUT

AT THE BASKETBALL COURTS OFF OF CATHERINE STREET.

HE SELLS BOTTLES OF WATER OUT OF A BAG.

MEDAVOY, WHY DON'T YOU AND JONES TAKE THAT?

A COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS.

DOES HE SELL WATER ONLY, OR DOES HE MAYBE SELL SODAS?

GREG? WHAT?

ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF?

NO, I'M SORRY.

CAN I GO BACK INSIDE NOW?

SURE. ABSOLUTELY.

I LOVE HER.

WE'RE SORRY AGAIN ABOUT YOUR WIFE, MR. BERLAY.

I DON'T GET THIS. NONE OF IT MAKES ANY SENSE.

WELL, UH, WE'RE HERE TO HELP FIGURE IT OUT, MR. BERLAY.

BUT TO DO THAT, WE NEED TO ASK YOU

SOME TOUGH QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR WIFE.

[ SIGHS ]

SHE WORKED AT A COSMETIC COUNTER.

SHE WAS A WONDERFUL MOTHER.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TELL YOU.

HAS SHE BEEN ACTING ANY DIFFERENT LATELY?

NO.

GETTING ANY STRANGE PHONE CALLS?

NO.

WERE ANY OF HER HABITS DIFFERENT THAN USUAL ‐‐

WHAT TIME SHE LEFT FOR WORK OR CAME HOME?

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

ARE YOU TELLING ME MY WIFE WAS HAVING AN AFFAIR?

IF YOU ARE, LAY IT OUT.

IS THAT A POSSIBILITY?

HELL, NO, AND YOU CAN GO TO HELL FOR THINKING IT.

MAYBE WE SHOULD TAKE A FEW MINUTES.

SHE WASN'T HAVING AN AFFAIR,

AT LEAST THAT I KNEW OF.

WAS ANYONE BOTHERING HER?

I DON'T KNOW.

NO, ONCE, THERE WAS THIS GUY IN HOUSEWARES

WHO PUT A MOVE ON HER, BUT SHE BACKED HIM OFF.

SHE MENTION HIS NAME?

GEORGE SOMETHING. IT WAS A WHILE AGO.

HOW LONG?

TWO YEARS.

SHE SAID HE MOVED TO ST. PAUL.

JUST SO WE CAN RULE YOU OUT,

CAN YOU TELL US WHERE YOU WERE THIS MORNING?

I WAS WITH A CLIENT, DANIEL KAWAMOTO,

LOOKING AT RENTAL PROPERTY.

AND EVERYTHING WAS ALL RIGHT AT HOME?

YES.

WHAT, NOW I WAS STEPPING OUT ON HER ‐‐

THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE GOING NEXT?

EVE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN I'VE EVER SEEN.

THAT SHE WOULD GIVE ME THE TIME OF DAY,

LET ALONE FALL IN LOVE WITH ME OR...

IS A MIRACLE.

[ SOBBING ]

I'M SORRY.

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND ANY OF THIS.

GO AHEAD AND TAKE THIS.

YEAH.

[ LAUGHS ]

HEY, MAN, SHE SWORE UP AND DOWN THAT SHE WAS 18.

I'M JUST PLAYING WITH YOU.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A KID NAMED MICHAEL WOODRUFF.

WE HEARD HE HANGS OUT HERE.

YEAH, BUT I AIN'T SEEN HIM. NOT ALL DAY.

SELLS BOTTLES OF WATER, SODAS.

SOUNDS RIGHT, BUT LIKE I SAID, I AIN'T SEEN HIM.

Y'ALL GOT A CARD?

I COULD GIVE Y'ALL A BUZZ IF HE SHOWS.

WHOSE BAG OF DRINKS IS THAT, THEN?

DON'T KNOW.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME? DARRYL.

AM I GETTING MESSED WITH?

I DON'T KNOW WHOSE BAG THAT IS. I DON'T KNOW WHERE MICHAEL IS.

NOBODY'S MESSING WITH YOU.

LOOK, YOU COVERING FOR HIM?

THAT WOULD INDICATE THAT YOU LIKE THE KID,

MEANING I DON'T THINK YOU WANT TO SEE US CHASE HIM DOWN,

WHICH WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO.

HIS MOMS JUST GOT KILLED LAST NIGHT.

THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO TALK TO HIM.

HE'S SCARED, MAN.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT.

NOW HE'S GOT NOBODY ELSE.

WE'LL TREAT HIM RIGHT. YOU GOT MY WORD.

HEARD THAT BEFORE.

YO, MICHAEL, COME ON.

THEY GOTTA TALK TO YOU ABOUT YOUR MOMS.

I'M GONNA CHECK ON YOU, OKAY?

APPRECIATE IT.

15th SQUAD.

LIEUTENANT RODRIGUEZ.

HEY, VALERIE.

SURE. ABSOLUTELY.

I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN.

HEY, LIEU.

CONTACT ME ONLY IF IT'S AN EMERGENCY.

Irvin: CERTAINLY.

THE VERDICT'S IN.

GOOD LUCK.

UH...

AGAIN, WE'RE SORRY ABOUT YOUR MOM, MICHAEL.

THANKS.

HOW'D YOU FIND OUT?

SOME OLD GUY DOWN THE BLOCK SAID THEY FOUND HER BY THE WATER.

SO IT'S TRUE, THEN.

YEAH. YEAH, WE'RE SORRY.

YOU KNOW HOW SHE GOT THERE?

NO.

WAS SHE HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH ANYBODY?

NOT LIKE SHE'D TELL ME.

YOU SEEM LIKE A PRETTY SHARP KID, MICHAEL.

MAYBE DEALERS.

WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU SAW YOUR MOM?

YESTERDAY... BEFORE SHE WENT OUT.

SHE GOT A CALL, AND SHE HAD TO LEAVE.

YOU KNOW WHERE SHE WENT?

I DIDN'T ASK. SHE DIDN'T SAY.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHO SHE WAS TALKING TO ON THE PHONE?

MAYBE HER BOYFRIEND.

WHO'S THAT?

THIS FAT DUDE NAMED DESMOND.

HE GETS HER HIGH SO SHE'LL HANG OUT WITH HIM.

WHAT'S HIS LAST NAME?

AND WHERE CAN WE FIND HIM?

CARTER. HE OWNS THIS CAR SHOP ON GREAT JONES STREET.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL GET ANDY AND JOHN ON THAT.

YOU HAVE ANYONE ELSE YOU COULD STAY WITH FOR A WHILE?

A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND?

I'M ALL RIGHT ON MY OWN.

HOW ABOUT YOU STAY HERE FOR A LITTLE BIT?

I'LL GET YOU SOMETHING TO EAT WHILE THEY TALK TO DESMOND.

I'M NOT HUNGRY.

I'D RATHER LEAVE.

HANG OUT HERE FOR A LITTLE BIT, ALL RIGHT?

WHAT'S THIS GUY'S NAME?

DESMOND CARTER. THIS IS IT.

POLICE ‐‐ OPEN UP!

[ DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE ]

HEY, ANDY. IT WAS OPEN.

HEY, CARTER! DESMOND CARTER!

OPEN UP!

[ BARKING CONTINUES ]

OH, THAT'S A BIG DOG.

I MEAN, HE'S CHAINED‐UP, AND HE'S BACK A WAYS, BUT...

ALL RIGHT.

ON THREE.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

STAY, STAY! STAY!

WHOA, WHOA! WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!

POLICE ‐‐ GET YOUR DOG BACK OR HE'S HORSEMEAT!

DON'T HURT HIM!

HERE! PIXIE, PIXIE, COME ON.

EVERY TIME I SEE A PIT BULL LIKE THAT,

THERE'S A NEEDLE‐DICK LIKE HIM ON THE OTHER END OF IT.

YOU DESMOND CARTER? YEAH.

COME HERE.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM HERE, GUYS?

JANELLE WOODRUFF YOUR GIRLFRIEND?

WAS. WHY?

WHEN DID YOU BREAK UP? COUPLE DAYS AGO.

THEN WE GOT SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT. LET'S GO.

HER CRAZY EX‐HUSBAND PUNCHED ME.

WE GOT A LOT TO TALK ABOUT, THEN.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

LET ME LOCK MY PLACE UP, MAN.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?

YOU THE COPS?

DETECTIVES McDOWELL AND ORTIZ.

I ONLY GOT A MINUTE. MANAGER'S A TWITCH.

ON THE PHONE EARLIER, YOU SAID YOU KNEW EVE BERLAY.

WE WERE NEIGHBORS IN L. A.

WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU TALKED TO HER?

A FEW YEARS. SHE ALL RIGHT?

A FEW YEARS? SHE CALLED YOU LAST WEEK, NORMA.

WE GOT HER CELL RECORDS.

IF SHE'S INVOLVED IN SOMETHING, I GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

THEN WHY ARE YOU LYING TO US?

I DON'T GO LOOKING TO GET PEOPLE LOCKED UP.

I'VE HAD FRIENDS PUT IN THE HOSPITAL FOR DOING THAT.

EVE'S DEAD. WE FOUND HER MURDERED THIS MORNING.

OH, MY GOD.

WHAT DID YOU TALK ABOUT LAST WEEK?

I DON'T KNOW.

THE WEATHER, OLD TIMES?

NORMA, WE'RE NOT LEAVING.

JUST CAUGHT UP.

IT HAD BEEN A LONG TIME ‐‐ YEARS.

GET SPECIFIC, OR WE'LL DO THIS AT THE STATION HOUSE.

SHE ASKED ME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PAST ‐‐

DID IT CATCH UP TO ME?

BUT IT DOESN'T BECAUSE I NEVER LEFT THE BUSINESS.

WHAT BUSINESS?

DANCING, TOURING, FILMS.

PORN FILMS?

YEAH, BUT YOU GOTTA LEAVE FOR IT TO CATCH UP.

WHY WAS EVE CURIOUS ABOUT THAT?

SHE DID SOME MOVIES.

SHE MIGHT BE A SOCCER MOM NOW, BUT SHE WASN'T IN '85.

SINCE THEN, SHE'S BEEN KEEPING IT UNDER WRAPS?

EVER SINCE SHE LEFT L. A., EXCEPT FOR THE OCCASIONAL CALL TO ME.

SHE COMPLETELY DITCHED THAT LIFE.

BUT SHE WAS CALLING YOU NOW BECAUSE IT CAUGHT UP WITH HER?

IT SOUNDED LIKE SOME GUY CALLED

WANTING TO TALK ABOUT HER MOVIES.

I SAID, "IF YOU DENY IT, HE'S GONNA HOUND YOU.

TALK TO HIM ON THE PHONE, SEND HIM AN AUTOGRAPH."

THEY ALWAYS DISAPPEAR.

SHE GIVE THIS GUY'S NAME?

SHE CALLED HIM TOM.

SOUNDED LIKE SHE MADE IT UP.

AND YOUR ADVICE WAS TO MAKE FRIENDS

WITH A POTENTIAL STALKER?

SHE ASKED MY OPINION. I GAVE IT.

CAN I GO?

IF YOU THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE, GIVE US A CALL.

HE A GUARD DOG, OKAY?

THAT'S WHAT HE'S TRAINED TO DO WHEN PEOPLE COME BUSTING IN.

HE GOT DOG EYES AND A DOG BRAIN, OKAY?

HE CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN A COP AND SOME FOOL TRYING TO RIP MY PLACE OFF.

HENCE THE BARKING.

SHUT UP ABOUT YOUR DAMN DOG.

I TALK WHEN I'M NERVOUS, OKAY?

YOU TWO NOT SAYING NOTHING THE WHOLE DRIVE ‐‐

THAT MAKES ME MORE NERVOUS.

HOW LONG HAD YOU BEEN SEEING JANELLE WOODRUFF?

COUPLE OF MONTHS.

GETTING HER HIGH SO SHE'D PUT OUT?

JANELLE TELLING YOU THAT?

THAT LYING BITCH.

LOOK, I WAS HELPING HER OUT.

AND SHE TOLD ME THE MONEY WAS GOING FOR GROCERIES AND RENT.

JANELLE'S EX‐HUSBAND ‐‐

WHAT'S THIS ABOUT YOU GETTING IN A FIGHT?

COUPLE OF NIGHTS AGO, I WAS OVER THERE.

AND THAT LUNATIC FOOL COME BANGING THE DOOR DOWN.

HIM AND JANELLE ‐‐ THEY START YELLING AT EACH OTHER.

I STEP IN, TRYING TO KEEP THE PEACE.

HOMEBOY HAULS OFF AND CRACKS ME IN THE JAW.

HE STARTED IT. ASK JANELLE.

OKAY, NO, DON'T ASK HER ‐‐ SHE'S A LIAR.

BUT YOU CAN ASK HER SON, MICHAEL ‐‐ HE WAS THERE.

HE SAW THE WHOLE THING.

WHAT'S HER EX'S NAME? CRAIG.

JANELLE SAID HE JUST GOT OUT OF JAIL.

SURE LOOK IT.

YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND THIS GUY?

YOU HAVEN'T TALKED TO HIM YET?

HOLD UP.

WHO PUT YOU ON TO ME?

AND FOR WHAT?

SOMEBODY CONFUSED JANELLE WITH A PIÑATA LAST NIGHT.

SHE ALL RIGHT?

SHE'S DEAD.

YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY, DESMOND?

I'M JUST REWINDING WHAT I WAS JUST TELLING YOU ALL,

SEEING IF IT LOOK LIKE I GOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

SAVE YOURSELF TIME, 'CAUSE YOU LOOK LIKE YOU MIGHT BE INVOLVED.

WHEN WE INVESTIGATE CASES LIKE THIS,

PISSED‐OFF EX‐BOYFRIENDS IS WHO WE LIKE TO START WITH.

AND I'M TELLING YOU TO TALK TO HER PISSED‐OFF EX‐HUSBAND.

WE WILL.

IN THE MEANTIME, YOU'RE STAYING HERE.

GET CRACKING, THEN, AND FIND THAT FOOL.

HE'S YOUR GUY.

YOU BETTER HOPE SO.

I'D LIKE TO GET OUT OF HERE, IF Y'ALL DON'T MIND.

WELL, WE NEED YOU TO STICK AROUND

AND HELP US FIND OUT WHO KILLED YOUR MOM.

YOU'RE COOL WITH THAT, RIGHT?

YEAH, OKAY.

HOW COME WE DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT YOUR DAD BEFORE?

HE AIN'T AROUND.

THAT'S NOT WHAT WE HEARD.

SEE, NOW WE'RE CONFUSED, MICHAEL,

'CAUSE NOW YOU'RE STARTING TO MAKE US LOOK LIKE CHUMPS.

I TOLD YOU ALL ABOUT DESMOND.

LOOK, MICHAEL, WE KNOW YOU BEEN THROUGH A LOT.

BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP

IF WE'RE GONNA FIND THE GUY WHO DID THIS TO YOUR MOM.

WHERE'S YOUR DAD NOW?

I KNOW HE HOOKED UP WITH SOME WHITE CHICK NAMED BECKY.

THAT'S ABOUT IT.

HOW'S HE KNOW THIS BECKY?

SHE WROTE HIM LETTERS IN JAIL.

HE LIVING WITH HER NOW?

I DON'T KNOW.

HE LEECHED OFF HER FOR A WHILE.

SHE CALLED THE COPS ON HIM, SO HE SPLIT.

CAME BACK TO SEE MY MOMS, BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT, EITHER.

AND WHEN WAS THIS?

ABOUT A WEEK AGO.

AIN'T SEEN HIM SINCE.

YOU KNOW WHERE BECKY LIVES?

GREENPOINT.

BECKY LARSON.

SHE'S LISTED, 'CAUSE I HAD TO CALL MY DAD ONE TIME

WHEN HIS PAROLE OFFICER WAS LOOKING FOR HIM.

I'LL LET THEM KNOW.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU CAN UNDERSTAND HOW FRUSTRATING THIS IS FOR US

HAVING TO COME BACK AND FORTH TRYING TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH?

HEY, MY MOM GOT KILLED,

SO I'M KINDA FRUSTRATED, TOO, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

YEAH. I DO.

BUT WE'RE DONE NOW, RIGHT?

YEAH.

GOOD.

UH, GOT A PLACE TO LOOK FOR THE KID'S DAD, CRAIG WOODRUFF.

YEAH?

BECKY LARSON IN GREENPOINT ‐‐

HIS PEN PAL WHEN HE WAS IN THE JOINT.

WE'LL HEAD OUT TO BROOKLYN.

ANY WORD ON THE VERDICT?

Irvin: NOTHING YET.

GREG, IF YOU'RE NOT TIED UP,

WE COULD USE A HAND LOOKING INTO THIS EVE BERLAY.

SURE.

RITA, IF YOU WANT TO HEAD DOWN TO COURT,

BALDWIN AND I COULD HANDLE THIS.

I'M FINE. WE COULD JUST USE A HAND.

AS SOON AS I HEAR, I'LL CALL YOU RIGHT AWAY.

ALL RISE!

BRING IN THE JURY, PLEASE, EDDIE.

WILL THE DEFENDANT PLEASE RISE?

MADAM FOREMAN, HAVE YOU REACHED A VERDICT?

YES, WE HAVE, YOUR HONOR.

IN THE MATTER OF PEOPLE vs. FRAKER

ON THE CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED MURDER, HOW DO YOU FIND?

NOT GUILTY.

ON THE CHARGE OF FIRST‐DEGREE ASSAULT, HOW DO YOU FIND?

NOT GUILTY.

[ SIGHS ]

ALL RIGHT, YEAH.

NOT GUILTY.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.

CRAIG WOODRUFF HERE? WHY?

Craig: LET THEM IN, BABY.

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

CRAIG, I REALLY DON'T NEED THIS.

GO TAKE A NAP.

I HAVE NEIGHBORS.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW JANELLE?

ABOUT A WEEK AGO.

WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT? HERE WITH HER.

YOU WANT TO SIT DOWN?

THAT'S REAL NICE OF YOU,

BUT I NEED MORE LUMBAR SUPPORT THAN THIS THING PROVIDES.

YOU KNOW WHERE THEY GOT CHAIRS WITH GOOD BACK SUPPORT?

WE GOING TO THE MOVIES?

COME ON, LET'S GO. I SAID LET'S GO.

HEY, LET'S GO.

HEADING DOWN TO THE POLICE STATION, BABY.

I'LL GET AT YOU LATER.

WHY YOU TAKING HIM IN?

WHERE WAS CRAIG LAST NIGHT?

WITH ME.

I KNOW YOU AND HIM GOT THIS PRISON‐PEN‐PAL LOVE GOING,

BUT IF HE GETS NAILED FOR SOMETHING

AND WE FIND OUT THAT YOU'RE LYING,

YOU GET NAILED RIGHT ALONG WITH HIM.

HE WAS WITH ME ALL NIGHT.

AND IF HE'S NOT BACK HERE IN A COUPLE HOURS,

I'M CALLING MY BROTHER‐IN‐LAW, WHO'S A PARALEGAL!

WELL, IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS,

I CONCENTRATE ON THE THINGS I HAVE CONTROL OVER.

AND I TRY TO PUT THE THINGS I DON'T, LIKE THIS HOSING,

OUT OF MY MIND.

YOU GOT SOMETHING, GREG?

YEAH, INFORMATION ON EVE BERLAY.

PERFORMED UNDER THE NAME STELLA STARR ‐‐ TWO R's.

AND THAT'S A PRINTOUT OF HER PUBLICITY PHOTO

I GOT OFF THE INTERNET.

I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS.

IS LIEUTENANT RODRIGUEZ GONNA BE PROSECUTED NOW?

NO, THE D. A. WON'T GO AFTER HIM.

FRAKER WILL SUE THE DEPARTMENT...

RODRIGUEZ, ME.

LET'S NOT GET AHEAD OF THIS.

STELLA STARR DID FOUR ADULT FILMS

AND A COUPLE OF WHAT THESE SICKOS CALL "LOOPS."

MOST OF IT'S OUT OF PRINT,

BUT THERE'S A FEW POSTINGS ON THE AUCTION SITES.

DETECTIVE McDOWELL OR ORTIZ? DANIEL KAWAMOTO.

THE CLIENT THE D. O. A.'s HUSBAND SAYS HE WAS WITH THIS MORNING.

I CAN LOOK INTO THIS MORE IF YOU WANT.

YOU SCRATCH THE SURFACE, YOU FIND A WHOLE UNDERBELLY.

CHECK THE AUCTION SITES,

SEE IF ANYONE'S SHOWN A RECENT INTEREST IN STELLA STARR.

RITA, THIS KAWAMOTO

SAYS HE WASN'T WITH THE D. O. A.'s HUSBAND THIS MORNING.

HE LIED TO US.

WE APPRECIATE IT, MR. KAWAMOTO. WE'LL BE IN TOUCH.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHO STELLA STARR IS.

YOUR WIFE NEVER MENTIONED THE NAME?

NO.

DID SHE EVER MENTION LIVING IN LOS ANGELES?

SHE LIVED THERE JUST BEFORE WE MET.

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT SHE WAS DOING IN L. A.?

SHE WORKED IN A BOOKSTORE.

HOW IS THAT IMPORTANT?

WE UNDERSTAND SHE WAS SUPPLEMENTING HER INCOME

USING THE NAME STELLA STARR.

WILL YOU PLEASE STOP AND TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT?

YOUR WIFE WAS DOING ADULT FILMS, MR. BERLAY.

PORN.

I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE,

BUT IF YOU WEREN'T A WOMAN, I WOULD KNOCK YOU ON YOUR ASS.

YOU WEREN'T AWARE SHE HAD THIS IN HER PAST?

SHE WORKED IN A BOOKSTORE.

WHAT WE'RE TELLING YOU IS SHE ALSO DID SOME PORNOGRAPHIC FILMS

UNDER THE NAME STELLA STARR.

THAT'S A LIE.

THIS IS FAKE.

A NINE‐YEAR‐OLD COULD DO THIS.

IT'S NOT, AND I DON'T THINK IT'S NEWS TO YOU.

LOOK, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

HAVE A SEAT, MR. BERLAY.

IF YOU HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF HOW YOUR WIFE GOT KILLED,

TELL US NOW SO WE CAN HELP YOU OUT.

DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THIS AND HAVE A CONFRONTATION?

NO.

IT'S EASY TO UNDERSTAND A GUY LOSING IT

WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS POPS UP IN HIS MARRIAGE,

BUT YOU GOTTA TELL US TO GET THAT ACROSS.

I DIDN'T KILL MY WIFE.

THEN WHY'D YOU LIE ABOUT WHERE YOU WERE THIS MORNING?

I WAS WITH MARTIN SOLE.

I WAS SHOWING HIM STRIP‐MALL PROPERTY IN QUEENS.

I TOLD YOU THAT.

NO, YOU SAID YOU WERE WITH DANIEL KAWAMOTO.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO WITH KAWAMOTO, BUT HE CANCELED.

I MEANT TO SAY MARTY SOLE.

IF THIS IS ANOTHER LIE, IT'LL ONLY DELAY THE INEVITABLE.

I WASN'T THINKING STRAIGHT WHEN YOU ASKED ME THIS MORNING.

I JUST FOUND OUT MY WIFE WAS MURDERED.

ARE YOU THINKING STRAIGHT NOW?

NO, MY WIFE IS DEAD, AND YOU'RE THROWING DIRT ON HER MEMORY.

YOU'RE CALLING HER A SLUT.

BUT EVEN SO, I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT I WAS WITH MARTY SOLE,

AND UNTIL YOU CAN CONFIRM IT AND APOLOGIZE TO ME,

I HAVE NOTHING MORE TO SAY.

LAST NIGHT... WHAT ABOUT IT?

YOU BEEN BARKING AT YOUR FLABBY GIRLFRIEND TOO LONG.

YOU TAKE THAT TONE WITH ME, YOU'RE THE ONE GETS HIT.

GOOD POINT. SAY NO MORE.

WE KNOW YOU WERE AT JANELLE'S APARTMENT LAST NIGHT.

YOU'RE WRONG, AND I'M SAYING THAT RESPECTFULLY.

WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM?

JANELLE DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE YOU BACK?

DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE YOU NO MONEY?

OR WERE YOU PISSED OFF

TO SEE SHE WAS ABLE TO LIVE FINE WITHOUT YOU?

I WAS THERE LAST WEEK.

JANELLE AND I HAD OURSELVES A DISCUSSION.

I LEFT. AIN'T SEEN HER SINCE.

THAT SHOPPING CART YOU USED TO WHEEL HER DOWN TO THE WATER ‐‐

YOU DON'T THINK WE'LL PULL YOUR PRINTS OFF THAT?

THE OLD SHOPPING CART FROM THE HALLWAY?

YEAH, I TOUCHED THAT BEFORE.

BUT NOT LAST NIGHT, 'CAUSE I WASN'T THERE.

I WAS AT BECKY'S HAVING ME SOME BIG‐WHITE‐WOMAN SEX.

BUT SINCE IT LOOK LIKE YOU AIN'T GONNA BELIEVE ME

NO MATTER WHAT I SAY,

YOU LEAVE ME NO OPTION BUT TO SIT HERE AND WITHHOLD MY PEACE,

UNTIL WHICH TIME YOU EITHER RELEASE ME

OR CHARGE ME WITH SOMETHING

I'M CONFIDENT THE JUDGE WILL THROW OUT QUICK‐LIKE.

I'M THINKING THAT SOMEBODY JUST MIGHT BE SITTING

IN THE OTHER ROOM RIGHT NOW MISSING HIS MOM REAL BAD

AND NOT MISSING HIS NEVER‐AROUND MURDERING SCUMBAG DAD.

YOU CAN'T TALK TO MY SON WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.

WHY IS THAT, CRAIG?

YOU AIN'T HIS LEGAL GUARDIAN NO MORE.

YOU HAD THAT REVOKED THREE YEARS AGO

WHEN YOU BEAT JANELLE'S FACE IN, REMEMBER?

YOU GONNA SIT BACK AND LET US

GRIND THE TRUTH OUT OF YOUR KID INSTEAD OF PROTECTING HIM?

'CAUSE WE GO STRAIGHT FROM HERE TO RAKING HIM OVER THE COALS ‐‐

THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT?

YOU TELL MICHAEL HIS DADDY LOVE HIM.

YEAH, ALL RIGHT, THANKS.

THE D. O. A.'s HUSBAND ‐‐ HIS ALIBI HOLDS.

HE WAS WITH A CLIENT ALL MORNING.

WELL, I LAID IT ON THICKEST. I'LL TALK TO HIM.

IF YOU'RE KICKING THE HUSBAND,

I DEFINITELY GOT A GUY WORTH TALKING TO.

HERE.

TOM GRYBOWSKI ‐‐ COLLAR FOR STALKING?

THAT STRIPPER SAID THE D. O. A.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN APPROACHED BY A GUY NAMED TOM.

HE'S GOT POSTINGS LOOKING TO BUY ANYTHING STELLA STARR‐RELATED

AT ALL THE AUCTION SITES AND PORN MESSAGE BOARDS.

HE'S IN THE CITY?

YEAH, FIRST AND EAST 7th.

ALL RIGHT, THANKS.

THAT WAS THE M.E. ON EVE BERLAY'S RAPE CASE.

SHE'S POSITIVE FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT,

AND THEY GOT DNA.

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH,

STELLA STARR IS WHAT'S KNOWN AS AN UNDER‐FIVE,

MEANING SHE DID UNDER FIVE FILMS,

WHICH MAKES THEM VERY RARE.

AND IN HIS POSTINGS,

GRYBOWSKI GOES INTO INTRICATE DETAIL ABOUT HER NATURAL C‐CUP

AND HER PERFECT BUST‐TO‐WAIST RATIO.

WE'LL TALK TO HIM.

I'M GONNA DEAL WITH MR. BERLAY. I'LL MEET YOU DOWNSTAIRS.

WHERE'S THE KID?

COFFEE ROOM.

THE DAD WOULDN'T TALK? NO, HE TALKED,

NOT ABOUT KILLING HIS EX‐WIFE, WHICH WE KNOW HE DID.

WHERE YOU AT WITH HIS SON?

I JUST CHECKED ON HIM.

SAID HE GAVE US EVERYTHING HE KNOWS,

AND HE WANTS OUT OF HERE.

ALL RIGHT, WE'LL TRY TALKING TO HIM.

KID'S PRETTY SHUT‐DOWN.

MAYBE HE NEEDS TO SEE A FRESH FACE.

IT MIGHT SHUT HIM DOWN EVEN MORE.

I'LL SEE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

ANDY, I SAY JUST GIVE HIM SOME TIME.

LET HIM COME AROUND.

AND I SAY PUT HIM IN THE POKEY.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS LITTLE TANGO HERE?

BECAUSE HE'S A YOUNG KID.

HIS MOM JUST GOT KILLED.

AND HE KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT IT,

OR HE WOULDN'T HAVE LIED TO US ALL DAY.

BOSS...

WHERE ARE WE AT ON THE CASES?

CONNIE AND RITA ARE GRABBING UP A GUY.

WE'RE WORKING CRAIG WOODRUFF.

WHEN I GET SETTLED, I'LL CALL YOU IN FOR A FULL UPDATE.

BOSS, WE'RE JUST ‐‐

EVERYTHING'S ALL RIGHT. WE GOT CASES TO WORK.

GET ON IT.

SO WHAT DID WE DECIDE HERE?

WE DIDN'T DECIDE ANYTHING.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO,

SO DO IT.

HI, MICHAEL.

I'M DETECTIVE CLARK. THIS IS DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ.

WE'RE VERY SORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR MOTHER.

NOW, WE'VE ALSO BEEN INVESTIGATING YOUR MOM'S MURDER.

AND THE PROBLEM WE GOT RIGHT NOW IS THAT MY PARTNER AND I

HAVE FOUND STUFF OUT THAT'S DIFFERENT

THAN WHAT YOU'RE TELLING THE OTHER DETECTIVES.

I AIN'T BEEN LYING.

LET'S JUST START FRESH, OKAY?

WHATEVER YOU SAID BEFORE, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

WE'RE NOT GONNA HOLD ANYTHING AGAINST YOU.

WE GOT WITNESSES WHO SAY YOUR DAD

WAS AT YOU AND YOUR MOM'S APARTMENT LAST NIGHT.

YOU'RE PUTTING ALL THIS EFFORT

INTO TRYING TO KEEP YOUR STORY STRAIGHT.

JUST RELAX. LET IT GO.

TELL US WHAT HAPPENED.

OKAY, SO HE WAS THERE LAST NIGHT.

DON'T MEAN HE KILLED HER.

DID YOUR DAD ASK YOU TO LIE ABOUT IT?

NO. I JUST KNEW YOU COPS WOULD TRY TO LAY THIS ON HIM

IF I TOLD YOU HE WAS THERE.

WE ALSO GOT WITNESSES

HEARD YELLING COMING FROM YOUR APARTMENT LAST NIGHT.

PEOPLE ARE SAYING

IT SOUNDED LIKE YOUR MOM AND DAD WERE ARGUING.

WHERE'S THE OTHER GUY ‐‐ DETECTIVE JONES?

HE'S WHO I BEEN TALKING TO.

WERE YOUR PARENTS ARGUING LAST NIGHT, MICHAEL?

I DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THAT.

WE THINK YOU DO. WE'RE PRETTY SURE YOU DO.

DID YOUR DAD THREATEN YOU IF YOU SAID ANYTHING?

NOPE.

DID YOU LIKE YOUR MOM?

HELL, YEAH, I DID.

MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T ASK THAT QUESTION AGAIN.

THEN WHY AREN'T YOU STICKING UP FOR HER?

SHE STUCK UP FOR YOU ALL THESE YEARS

A LOT MORE THAN YOUR DAD DID.

YOU KNOW HOW WE FOUND HER?

AND I'M SORRY, BUT YOU NEED TO HEAR THIS.

STUFFED IN A SHOPPING CART, HER FACE ALL BLOODIED,

LEFT THERE FOR THE SEA GULLS.

OKAY, THAT'S ENOUGH.

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR NO MORE.

YOU'RE TRYING TO PROTECT THE GUY WHO TOOK YOUR MOM AWAY.

HE'S MY DAD.

HE HASN'T BEEN THERE YOUR WHOLE LIFE.

I DON'T CARE WHAT HE PROMISED TO TRY TO KEEP YOU QUIET ‐‐

HE AIN'T GONNA BE THERE FOR YOU NOW, EITHER.

HE'S MY DAD.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

I HAVE SAID IT NOW THREE TIMES.

THIS MORNING I WAS HOME ALONE IN MY APARTMENT.

PLEASE, TELL ME, WHAT AM I DOING HERE?

YOU SURE YOU DON'T KNOW, MR. GRYBOWSKI?

I DIDN'T HURT ANYONE.

WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT HURTING SOMEONE?

YOU...SAID THE NAME STELLA STARR,

WHICH I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE.

THEN YOU'RE ASKING ME WHERE I'VE BEEN,

SO OBVIOUSLY SHE MUST HAVE BEEN...HURT.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

MR. GRYBOWSKI,

A FRIEND OF STELLA STARR'S ‐‐ OR EVE BERLAY ‐‐

TOLD US SHE AGREED TO MEET YOU.

THAT FRIEND GAVE US YOUR NAME.

NOW, WE UNDERSTAND YOUR RELUCTANCE TO BE HONEST,

SEEING HOW YOU'VE BEEN BUSTED BEFORE

FOR STALKING YOUR COWORKER, BUT GIVE US THE TRUTH.

YOU AND EVE MET. SHE SIGNED SOME PHOTOS.

YOU SHOOK HANDS AND PARTED WAYS.

OR WE GOT NO CHOICE BUT TO ARREST YOU.

WE MET AT THE WASHINGTON SQUARE DINER.

YOU HUNTED HER DOWN ON THE INTERNET?

"HUNTED HER DOWN." I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH.

AND SHE JUST AGREED TO SEE YOU.

15 YEARS KEEPING A SECRET,

BUT YOU'RE A BIG FAN, SO WHY NOT?

PRETTY MUCH.

EVE'S FRIEND WILL TESTIFY

THAT YOU THREATENED TO TELL HER HUSBAND

IF SHE DIDN'T MEET YOU.

I SAID YOU'VE GOT FANS, PEOPLE WHO APPRECIATE YOUR WORK.

YOU CAN'T SHUT US OUT.

SO SHE MET ME, SIGNED SOME PHOTOS.

WE WERE FRIENDS.

WERE FRIENDS.

ARE.

YOU'RE TWISTING EVERYTHING AROUND.

THIS IS A CASE THAT BREAKS OUR HEARTS

'CAUSE EVE WOULD STILL BE ALIVE

IF SHE JUST DIDN'T LISTEN TO SOME REALLY STUPID ADVICE,

WHICH WAS TO INDULGE YOUR JERK‐OFF FANTASY.

THIS IS SOMEONE WHO GOT HER LIFE TOGETHER,

AND YOU HAD TO DESTROY IT

'CAUSE YOU JUST CAN'T GET LAID IN THE REAL WORLD.

UP YOURS, LADY.

YOU THREATENED HER.

YOU WERE THE LAST PERSON SHE MET BEFORE SHE DIED.

THAT'S ENOUGH TO GET YOUR DNA,

WHICH WILL MATCH UP TO WHAT YOU LEFT ON HER DEAD BODY.

SINCE WE'RE PAST YOU DENYING IT, HERE'S YOUR CHOICES.

SAY YOU HAD FEELINGS FOR THIS STELLA STARR,

MAYBE YOU LOVED HER.

AND WHEN SHE WOULDN'T ACCEPT YOUR ADVANCES,

YOU LOST IT ‐‐ THAT'S 10 YEARS.

OR KEEP LYING,

AND WE'LL SAY YOU'RE AN OBSESSIVE PORN‐FREAK ASSHOLE

WHO DESTROYED A HAPPY FAMILY FOR NO GOOD REASON ‐‐

25 YEARS.

STAND UP AND TURN AROUND. YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

SHE SLAPPED ME. SHE ATTACKED ME IN MY CAR.

I HAD TO SAVE MYSELF.

WHY DID SHE ATTACK YOU?

SHE WAS TALKING LIKE A DOCTOR ‐‐

HOW I NEED HELP AND IT'S NOT RIGHT THAT I CALL HER.

YOU CHOKED HER. SHE NEVER ATTACKED YOU.

YOU THINK YOU KNOW SOMEBODY AND THAT YOU'RE COMMUNICATING,

AND THEN SHE JUST WANTS TO BREAK IT OFF ‐‐

BREAK OFF WHAT?

YOU DIDN'T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HER.

SHE MET WITH YOU 'CAUSE SHE WAS SCARED YOU'D RUIN HER LIFE.

I JUST WANTED TO BE IN HER LIFE,

BUT SHE TREATED ME LIKE A PSYCHO WITH HIS DICK IN HIS HAND.

AND THAT EARNED YOU THE RIGHT TO RAPE AND KILL HER?

WHAT WAS SO WRONG ABOUT SAYING THAT I HAD LOVE FOR HER?

THAT I THOUGHT WE COULD BE FRIENDS?

TOM, DID YOU RAPE AND STRANGLE EVE BERLAY THIS MORNING?

THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW SO WE CAN START TO HELP YOU.

I GUESS I DID. YES.

BUT I DIDN'T RAPE HER.

SHE WAS DEAD BEFORE WE HAD SEX.

HERE'S WHERE WE'RE AT, CRAIG.

WE JUST GOT MICHAEL SOMETHING TO EAT,

GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO CALM DOWN, STOP CRYING.

HE'S GIVEN US THAT YOU WERE AT THE APARTMENT LAST NIGHT.

HE ALSO GAVE US THAT YOU AND JANELLE ARGUED.

DON'T KNOW WHY HE'D SAY THAT.

I DO. YOU KILLED HIS MOM.

WRONG, FLAT‐OUT.

[ SIGHS ]

YOU FISH AT ALL, CRAIG?

ONCE OR TWICE.

THE HOOK IS IN. MICHAEL'S GOING.

I JUST COME DOWN HERE

'CAUSE I'M A FATHER TO A YOUNG BOY MYSELF.

AND I WOULD NOT WANT HIM TO EXPERIENCE

WHAT I'M ABOUT TO PUT YOUR SON THROUGH.

THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.

YOU STAND UP FOR YOUR SON, OR I BREAK HIM.

LISTEN...

I GOT NO BEEF WITH YOU.

AND I KNOW YOU'RE DOING YOUR JOB,

BUT WILL YOU TRY AND UNDERSTAND SOMETHING?

AND I'M TALKING MAN‐TO‐MAN HERE.

I'M NOT ADDRESSING WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT WITH JANELLE

'CAUSE I WASN'T THERE AND I DON'T KNOW.

BUT THIS WHOLE THING ‐‐ IT'S A FAMILY MATTER.

YOU KILLING YOUR WIFE ‐‐ THAT'S A FAMILY MATTER?

AH, AH, AH, I AIN'T SAID NOTHING ABOUT THAT

'CAUSE, ONCE AGAIN, I WASN'T THERE, AND I DON'T KNOW.

I'M JUST INFORMING YOU THIS IS A FAMILY MATTER.

THAT'S WHY THEY GOT MANSLAUGHTER STATUTES.

IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAME OUT OF A FAMILY DISPUTE,

WE CAN WORK WITH THAT.

IT'S GONNA STAY A FAMILY MATTER.

AND MY BOY ‐‐ HE AIN'T GONNA GIVE YOU NOTHING...

FISHHOOK OR NO FISHHOOK.

I WILL GUARANTEE YOU ONE THING, CRAIG ‐‐

I'M GONNA PUT THIS CASE TOGETHER...

NO MATTER WHAT.

CAN I GO?

YEAH...FOR NOW.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ] BOSS?

WOODRUFF DIDN'T GO, SO I HAD TO KICK HIM.

ALL RIGHT.

WHERE'S MICHAEL?

JONES IS TRYING TO GET HIM PLACED SOMEWHERE DECENT.

IF WE'RE GONNA CLEAR THIS,

THAT KID'S GONNA HAVE TO FLIP ON HIS DAD.

YEAH, UH, STAY ON TOP OF IT.

YOU CAN'T LET THIS VERDICT WEIGH ON YOU.

IT'S ANOTHER JURY‐SCREWING.

IT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRUTH

OR HOW ANYONE AROUND HERE OR ANYWHERE ELSE

FEELS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

I KNOW. I'M FINE.

I KNOW YOU'RE ALL CONCERNED ABOUT ME,

AND I APPRECIATE IT.

BUT JUST UNDERSTAND, ALL THIS HAS BEEN IS A DISAPPOINTMENT.

I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT REPERCUSSIONS

OR WHAT ANYONE THINKS.

MORE THAN ANYTHING, I'M JUST GLAD IT'S OVER.

GOOD. THEN IT'S PUT TO BED.

RIGHT.

SO...GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE.

SEE YOU ALL TOMORROW.

WE'LL START FRESH.

NIGHT, BOSS.

GOOD NIGHT.

HEY...

YOU SURE YOU'RE ALL RIGHT?

POSITIVE.

THANKS, THOUGH.

ALL RIGHT. [ SIGHS ]

MY CONTACT OVER AT CHILD SERVICES IS GONNA CALL ME BACK.

I'LL BE FINE ON MY OWN.

I KEEP TELLING YOU THAT. DOING WHAT?

SELLING BOTTLES OF WATER IN THE PARK?

I'LL WORK IT OUT. I ALWAYS HAVE.

MICHAEL, THIS LADY OVER AT CHILD SERVICES IS A FRIEND OF MINE.

I CAN GET HER TO CUT THROUGH ALL THE RED TAPE

AND GET YOU INTO A GOOD FOSTER HOME.

WOULDN'T YOU RATHER HAVE THAT

INSTEAD OF SPENDING THE NIGHT IN THE EMERGENCY CENTER?

YOU DON'T NEED TO DO FAVORS FOR ME.

THAT'S A YES‐OR‐NO QUESTION.

DON'T YOU WANT A NICE PLACE TO STAY WITH GOOD PEOPLE?

I GUESS SO.

BUT THE THING IS, YOU GOTTA HOLD UP YOUR END OF THE BARGAIN.

YOU GOTTA ACT RIGHT, OR YOU'LL GET TOSSED.

BUT I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT. I GOT FAITH IN YOU.

OTHERWISE, I WOULDN'T BE CALLING IN THIS FAVOR.

YEAH, OKAY.

YOU'RE AT A CRITICAL TIME IN YOUR LIFE, MICHAEL.

THERE'S TWO WAYS YOU CAN GO.

IF YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD TOWARDS GOOD THINGS,

I CAN HELP YOU.

I'M NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT.

WHAT'S THE CATCH?

THERE'S NO CATCH.

I'M NOT GONNA RAT OUT MY DAD.

I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO.

AND WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE, I WAS IN A BAD SPOT.

AND SOMEBODY HELPED ME OUT.

DO YOU WANT MY HELP?

YEAH.

OKAY.

YOU KNOW, IT'S ALL RIGHT TO FEEL SAD ABOUT YOUR MOM.

I'M ALL RIGHT.

I'M JUST SAYING.

NOBODY HERE KNOWS YOU, AND I'M NOT GONNA JUDGE YOU.

SO IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, YOU CAN.

[ SNIFFLES ]

I'M JUST THINKING, LIKE, YOU KNOW,

HOW HARD IT'S GONNA BE...

WAKING UP TOMORROW AND HER NOT BEING AROUND.

I KNOW.

I'M SORRY.

[ SNIFFLES ]

IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.

I'M GONNA GET YOU THROUGH THIS.
