PREVIOUSLY ON "NYPD BLUE."

YOU STALKING YOUR WIFE.

YOU DON’T SEE WHERE THIS IS HEADED?

I’M DOING WHAT I CAN TO SAVE MY MARRIAGE.

HE IS A RISK TO HIS WIFE, TO HIMSELF.

YOU THINKING ABOUT CALLING EARLY INTERVENTION?

HE CAME HOME DRUNK AND STARTED YELLING AT ME.

HE WENT AND GOT A BAT AND THEN HE CAME AT ME.

IF HE HAD HIS GUN ON HIM, HE WOULD HAVE SHOT ME.

HE WOULD HAVE KILLED ME.

I’M GLAD I MADE THAT CALL TO EARLY INTERVENTION.

DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

I PUT IN FOR A TRANSFER TO GET AWAY FROM SCOTT’S PRECINCT?

I GOT TRANSFERRED HERE.

WILMER, YOU’RE SO FULL OF CRAP,

IT’S NO WONDER YOUR SKIN IS BROWN.

WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT LAYING BACK

AND LEARNING HOW THE SQUAD WORKS? I KNOW.

HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT BY SMACKING AROUND MY SUSPECT?!

HE HAS SHUT DOWN NOW. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

HE’S LAWYERED UP!

YOU AND THE CHIEF OF PERSONNEL ARE BUDDIES?

WE’RE FRIENDLY.

CHIEF OF PERSONNEL WHO’S HATCHER’S UNCLE?

WHERE YOU GOING WITH THIS?

YOU GETTING PROMOTED TO C. O. OF THE SQUAD‐‐

DID THAT COME WITH THE CONDITION OF TAKING ON HATCHER,

WHO’S BEEN TOSSED OUT OF EVERY OTHER SQUAD IN THIS CITY?

I’D LIKE TO FIT IN WITH THE TEAM HERE.

SO HOW ABOUT TOMORROW WE MAKE A FRESH START?

SURE.

DO YOU BELIEVE THIS? YOU ALL RIGHT?

THE BULLET GRAZED ME. HURTS LIKE A SON OF A BITCH.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I’M DRIVING TO THE GYM, I SEE THIS BLACK DUDE SPRINT ACROSS THE STREET.

HE’S GOT A GUN IN HIS HAND, SO I GIVE CHASE.

I’M LOOKING AROUND, I HEAR SOME MOVEMENT FROM OVER THE FENCE,

I LOOK OVER,

I SEE A LIGHT COME ON BEHIND ME, I TURN AROUND,

AND THERE’S A GUY INSIDE THIS APARTMENT.

HE’S GOT HIS GUN TRAINED ON ME.

HE SHOT ME RIGHT IN THE ARM.

SO I RETURNED FIRE. I GOT HIM IN THE SHOULDER.

UH, THE BLACK GUY YOU WERE CHASING?

HE HOPPED OVER THE FENCE TO ASK IF EVERYTHING WAS ALL RIGHT.

HE BOOGIED.

LISTEN, WE DON’T CARE WHAT HAPPENED HERE,

AS LONG AS EVERYTHING MATCHES UP.

’CAUSE THIS STORY IS THE STORY WE’RE GONNA GO WITH.

OKAY.

YOU WERE GOING TO THE GYM AT 5:00 IN THE MORNING? WHAT, I STUTTER?

STAN, YOU MIGHT WANT TO RETHINK YOUR ATTITUDE HERE.

I ALMOST GOT KILLED HERE, OKAY?

I’M SORRY IF I’M A LITTLE FIRED UP.

WE’LL TALK TO THE GUY IN THE APARTMENT.

STICK AROUND.

LARRY EDMUNDS.

DETECTIVES SIPOWICZ AND CLARK.

I THOUGHT HE WAS A BURGLAR.

I HAD NO IDEA HE WAS A COP.

HOW’D IT GO DOWN?

I HEARD SOME NOISES, SO I GO LOOK.

I TURN THE LIGHT ON AND I SEE THIS GUY

STANDING ON A TRASH CAN LOOKING OVER THE FENCE.

SO HE TURNS AROUND AND LOOKS AT ME,

AND I GUESS HE SAW MY GUN, BECAUSE HE REACHES

LIKE HE’S GOING INTO HIS POCKET FOR A GUN.

SO I FIRE A WARNING SHOT OVER HIS HEAD,

STEP BACK INTO THE ROOM,

I WAIT A SECOND,

AND THEN THE GLASS SHATTERS AND HE’S FIRING AT ME.

SO I FIRE BACK.

YOU GOT A PERMIT FOR THE GUN?

YEAH, TARGET PERMIT.

AND YOU SAY HE REACHED FOR HIS GUN?

YEAH. HE DIDN’T ALREADY HAVE A GUN IN HIS HAND?

HIS HANDS WERE EMPTY LIKE I SAID.

I SAW HIM REACH FOR SOMETHING, THOUGH.

WE NEED TO GET HIM TRANSPORTED.

WE’LL BE DOWN TO TALK TO YOU IN A LITTLE WHILE.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME?

WE’LL TALK ABOUT IT LATER.

HE WASN’T DRESSED LIKE A COP,

DIDN’T HAVE HIS BADGE OUT, NOTHING.

HE LOOKED LIKE A CROOK.

HE WAS PURSUING A SUSPECT.

WANT TO VOUCHER THE GUN? OKAY.

SO WHAT’S HE SAYING? HE THOUGHT YOU WERE A BURGLAR.

THAT DON’T GIVE HIM THE RIGHT TO START FIRING OFF ROUNDS.

YOU’RE RIGHT. WE’RE GONNA PURSUE THAT.

SO YOU SEE A BLACK MALE WITH A GUN?

CORRECT. YOU’RE CHASING HIM AROUND IN THE DARK HERE.

NO BACKUP. DO YOU HAVE YOUR GUN OUT?

YEAH.

THE GUY IN THE APARTMENT’S SAYING DIFFERENT.

WELL, HE’S LYING.

HE’S ON HIS WAY TO BELLEVUE.

NEXT TIME WE TALK TO HIM, WE’LL SEE IF HE GETS OFF THAT.

BUT LIKE I TOLD YOU EARLIER, WE DON’T CARE WHAT HAPPENED.

YOU’RE GONNA LIVE, HE’S GONNA LIVE.

YOU JUST NEED TO BE UP FRONT WITH US

SO THAT WE DON’T HAVE TWO DIFFERENT STORIES,

’CAUSE THAT’S WHEN THE PROBLEMS KICK IN.

I’M COMING CLEAN, GUYS. I SWEAR TO GOD.

ALL RIGHT, THEN.

GO GET LOOKED AT. WE’LL SEE YOU BACK AT THE SQUAD.

WHAT’S YOUR SENSE OF THIS GUY?

IS HE DECENT ENOUGH, EVEN THOUGH HE’S FUDGING SOME DETAILS?

SEEMS LIKE IT.

IF HE THOUGHT I WAS A BURGLAR, I COULD MAYBE UNDERSTAND THAT.

TELL HIM I WON’T PRESS THE ISSUE,

AND WE CAN LET THIS THING SLIDE.

WE GOT A CIVILIAN SHOT. NOTHING’S GONNA SLIDE, STAN.

FINE. ARREST HIS ASS, THEN.

’CAUSE I DIDN’T DO A DAMN THING WRONG.

WHERE’S STAN NOW?

WITH THE DUTY CAPTAIN AND THE ZONE COMMANDER.

LARRY EDMUNDS JUST GOT OUT OF THE O. R.

IF YOU WORK OUT IN THE MORNING,

WHAT TIME DO YOU GET TO THE GYM IF YOUR TOUR STARTS AT 8:00?

IF I’M MOTIVATED? 6:30. WORK OUT FOR AN HOUR.

WHY? CURIOUS.

WE GOT A D.O.A. DOWN AT THAT FLEABAG HOTEL‐‐

THE FAUNTLEROY ON CANAL. WHO’S UP? ME AND GREG.

WHERE YOU GUYS HEADED?

THE GUY IN THE APARTMENT IS OUT OF SURGERY.

GOT SOME THINGS WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT.

BUT HE’S A COLLAR.

ONCE WE CONFIRM WHAT WENT DOWN.

WE KNOW WHAT WENT DOWN.

YOU PUSHING FOR A DESIRED OUTCOME, GIBSON?

YOU’RE NOT TAKING STAN AT HIS WORD? WE’RE DOING OUR JOB.

WHEN STAN’S UNCLE CALLS AGAIN, THE CHIEF OF PERSONNEL,

I’LL JUST RING HIM THROUGH TO YOU.

YOU THINK THAT MEANS ANYTHING TO ME?

THIS IS A FELLOW DETECTIVE.

IF YOU’VE GOT SOME BIAS TOWARDS HIM,

I CAN ASSIGN THE CASE TO SOMEBODY ELSE.

THERE’S NO BIAS HERE, SARGE.

GOOD.

AS MANY THINGS AS YOU CAN LEARN FROM HIM,

THERE’S JUST AS MANY THAT YOU DON’T WANT TO LEARN FROM HIM.

I’LL BE ALL RIGHT, SARGE. THANKS, THOUGH.

HOW LONG’S HE BEEN LIVING HERE?

TWO YEARS. NICE GUY, QUIET GUY.

HOW’D YOU FIND THE BODY?

WELL, GEORGE DID MAINTENANCE ON THE HOTEL

IN EXCHANGE FOR A BREAK ON THE RENT.

HE DIDN’T SHOW UP THIS MORNING,

SO I CAME LOOKING.

WAS THE DOOR LOCKED? SURE WAS.

DID YOU EVER KNOW HIM TO KEEP VALUABLES?

HE DIDN’T HAVE NOTHING.

BARELY GOT BY ON HIS WELFARE CHECK.

I DOUBT HE WAS MOPPING UP HERE FOR THE EXERCISE.

HE HAVE ANY BEEFS WITH ANYBODY HERE?

NO, NO WAY.

HE JUST SAT IN THE LOBBY AND DID HIS CROSSWORD PUZZLES.

DIDN’T DRINK, DIDN’T GO OUT. NOTHING.

HE RAN A PHARMACY IN IDAHO FOR A LONG TIME,

BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED AND HE LOST EVERYTHING.

I NEVER GOT THE WHOLE STORY.

HE MOVED OUT HERE TO BE NEAR HIS COUSIN.

THAT’S WHAT HE SAID, ANYWAY.

EVER HAVE ANY VISITORS? NONE THAT I SAW.

Jones: HEY, GREG.

WHO’S STAYING NEXT DOOR? THIS KID NAMED RYAN.

ALL RIGHT. COME ON, LET’S GO.

HOW LONG HAS THIS RYAN KID BEEN STAYING HERE?

COUPLE WEEKS.

OPEN IT UP.

[ KEYS JINGLING ]

Manager: DON’T TELL ME THIS PRICK’S CLEARED OUT.

HE OWES ME THREE DAYS’ RENT!

ENTERED HERE, EXITED IN THE OTHER ROOM.

IT DIDN’T COME THROUGH THIS WALL.

WHAT INFORMATION DO YOU HAVE ON RYAN?

LAST NAME’S DOOLING. NOT MUCH ELSE‐‐ HE PAID CASH.

HAS THIS BEEN HERE A WHILE? NO.

THAT A BULLET HOLE?

LOOKS LIKE IT. OH, BOY.

HOW’S THAT POLICE OFFICER DOING?

HE’S UP AND AROUND.

I HAVEN’T HAD A CHANCE TO APOLOGIZE TO HIM.

I WOULD LIKE TO.

WE’LL PASS THAT ALONG.

LISTEN, UH, CAN YOU GIVE US A SECOND?

JUST A SECOND. THANKS.

MR. EDMUNDS, IN LOOKING INTO THINGS HERE,

WE SAW THAT YOUR APARTMENT HAS BEEN BROKEN INTO

TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR. RIGHT.

YOU GET THE TARGET PERMIT AS A RESULT OF THOSE ROBBERIES?

IT MIGHT HAVE FACTORED IN A LITTLE.

YOU KEEP THE GUN IN THE APARTMENT FOR PROTECTION?

NO. THAT’D BE ILLEGAL, NOW, WOULDN’T IT?

SO YOU GRABBED THE GUN AS A LAST RESORT?

ABSOLUTELY.

YOU TOLD US AT THE SCENE

THAT COP DIDN’T HAVE A GUN IN HIS HAND?

THAT’S RIGHT. YOU’RE POSITIVE?

IF THAT GUY WOULD’VE HAD A GUN IN HIS HAND,

I WOULD’VE BLOWN HIS ASS AWAY.

BUT WHEN HE WENT TO HIS POCKET REAL QUICK,

THAT’S WHEN I FIRED THE WARNING SHOT.

HE’S SAYING THERE WAS NO WARNING SHOT.

WELL, HE‐‐ I DON’T WANT TO CALL THIS GUY A LIAR,

BUT HE IS OBVIOUSLY REMEMBERING THIS PART DIFFERENTLY.

I FIRED THE FIRST SHOT OVER HIS HEAD,

THEN BACKED UP AND WAITED.

HE WAS STANDING ON A GARBAGE CAN LOOKING OVER THE FENCE?

THAT’S RIGHT.

HOW LONG WAS HE THERE?

FROM THE TIME I SPOTTED HIM

TO WHEN I CREPT UP TO GET A GOOD LOOK,

HE WAS LOOKING OVER THE FENCE THE WHOLE TIME.

HOW DOES THAT POSE A THREAT, MR. EDMUNDS?

A MAN LOOKING OVER A FENCE WITH HIS BACK TO YOU?

WHEN I TURNED ON THE LIGHT

AND HE SPUN AROUND AND WENT TO HIS POCKET, THAT WAS A THREAT.

DO I NEED A LAWYER HERE?

AM I BEING CHARGED WITH SOMETHING?

WE GOT A POLICE OFFICER SHOT, SO WE NEED TO ASK QUESTIONS.

I’M SURE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.

NO, I GOT IT.

ALL RIGHT, YOU GET SOME REST.

WE’LL BE BACK LATER.

THE GUY STAYING IN THE ROOM, RYAN DOOLING?

ANOTHER RESIDENT SAW RYAN LEAVE AT 5:00 A. M.

HE WAS CARRYING HIS BAGS.

LEAVING TOWN?

LEAVING THE HOTEL, ANYWAY.

WE TALKED TO THE NIGHT CLERK.

HE SAID AN ATTRACTIVE, YOUNG, WHITE GIRL, A BRUNETTE,

APPROACHED HIM AT 2:00 A. M. AND ASKED WHICH ROOM RYAN WAS IN.

HE TOLD HER, SHE WENT UP.

WHAT ELSE WE HAVE ON THIS RYAN KID?

HE’S IN FROM KANSAS CITY.

WE TALKED TO HIS MOM. SHE SAID HE’S STAYING WITH HIS BROTHER, ERIC,

WHO LIVES IN GREENWICH VILLAGE.

WE GOT CALLS OUT TO HIM. SOUNDS GOOD.

ONLY OTHER THING IS THE D. O. A.?

WE’RE HAVING DIFFICULTY LOCATING NEXT OF KIN‐‐

HE WAS 70.

WE WERE TOLD HE’S GOT A COUSIN OUT HERE.

WE’RE LOOKING INTO THAT.

ANY WORD ON HATCHER?

HE’S ON HIS WAY OVER.

HOW’D IT GO WITH THE PERP?

YOU MEAN, THE GUY IN THE APARTMENT? WE’RE GETTING THERE.

WHAT’S THAT MEAN? YOU’RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE EXPRESSION?

I PREFER SPECIFICS.

WE’VE JUST GOT A COUPLE INCONSISTENCIES.

LIKE WHAT, SPECIFICALLY?

IF WE TELL YOU,

THEN YOU’RE IN THE LOOP AND YOU CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

GOD FORBID, RIGHT?

IF WE RUN UP AGAINST SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT, SARGE,

WE’LL BRING YOU UP TO SPEED RIGHT AWAY.

OLD DOG OR NOT, YOU COULD LEARN A LOT FROM HIM.

THAT’S WHY I CARRY AROUND A PAD AND PEN.

WHAT A WEEK I’M HAVING. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?

I’M SO SORRY.

HEY, PARTNER. HOW YOU FEELING?

ARM’S FINE.

HOUR AND A HALF WITH THE DUTY CAPTAIN WAS THE REAL PAIN.

HOW’S IT GOING, BOSS?

YOU HAD ME SCARED SICK THERE WHEN I GOT THE CALL.

IT ALL WORKED OUT.

SO WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THE GUY THAT SHOT ME?

THAT’S WHAT WE NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.

GOOD, ’CAUSE I GOTTA TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT SOMETHING, TOO.

[ SIGHS ]

WHAT I TOLD YOU AT THE SCENE? I WAS WRONG ABOUT SOMETHING.

NAMELY?

I HAD MY GUN OUT WHEN I WAS CHASING THAT BLACK DUDE,

BUT WHEN I HAD TO PULL MYSELF UP ON THE FENCE, TO LOOK OVER,

I HOLSTERED MY GUN SO I COULD USE BOTH HANDS.

SO, I WANT TO CLEAR THAT UP.

MY ADRENALINE WAS PUMPING AT THE SCENE,

SO I WASN’T EXACTLY THINKING STRAIGHT.

WELL, THAT HELPS US. GOOD.

AND THIS WHOLE THING WITH GOING TO THE GYM AT 5:00 A. M.

I COULD SEE HOW THAT WOULD LOOK UNUSUAL.

BUT I BOUGHT A THREE‐YEAR MEMBERSHIP

AS A NEW‐YEAR’S RESOLUTION AND I HAVEN’T BEEN USING IT.

I COULDN’T SLEEP, SO I DECIDED TO GO WORK OUT.

YEAH.

YEAH. SO, YOU SAID YOU HAD SOME QUESTIONS?

I THINK YOU ANSWERED MOST OF THEM.

HOW LONG WERE YOU STANDING ON THAT GARBAGE CAN,

LOOKING OVER THE FENCE?

HALF A MINUTE? A MINUTE?

I WAS LETTING MY EYES ADJUST TO THE DARK

TO SEE IF I COULD SPOT THAT BLACK DUDE MOVING AROUND.

GUY IN THE APARTMENT’S STILL SAYING HE FIRED A WARNING SHOT.

YOU DIDN’T GET HIM OFF THAT?

OBVIOUSLY NOT.

WELL, HE’S LYING...

AND AT THIS POINT, WHATEVER SYMPATHY I HAD FOR HIM IS GONE,

SO ARE YOU GONNA ARREST HIM?

WE’RE, UH, YOU KNOW, MOVING FORWARD, STAN.

COOL.

ANYTHING ELSE?

NO, WE’RE GOOD. THANKS.

OKAY.

WELL, HE SURE GOT HIS STORY STRAIGHT.

WASN’T HE SUPPOSED TO?

I TALKED TO A CO‐WORKER OF LARRY EDMUNDS.

HE SAID AFTER LARRY GOT ROBBED, HE WAS TELLING PEOPLE

THAT HE’D LIKE TO SEE SOMEONE TRY AND ROB HIM AGAIN.

MEANING HE WAS ITCHING TO USE HIS GUN, RIGHT?

THAT WAS MY INFERENCE, YEAH.

THIS GUY WAS A TIME BOMB READY TO GO OFF.

UH, ERIC DOOLING HERE TO SEE DETECTIVES MEDAVOY OR JONES?

RIGHT THIS WAY, MR. DOOLING.

IS MY BROTHER IN TROUBLE?

JUST A LITTLE MISUNDERSTANDING WE NEED TO CLEAR UP.

THANKS.

THAT WAS BALLISTICS.

THEY PULLED A SLUG FROM THE FENCE WHERE HATCHER WAS STANDING.

9‐MILLIMETER.

TRANSLATION?

GUY’S TARGET PERMIT IS FOR A .22.

SO HE HAD AN ILLEGAL GUN, IN OTHER WORDS.

CAN WE ARREST THIS GUY ALREADY, OR WHAT?

I WOULD HOPE SO.

WE’LL HEAD DOWN THERE AND TALK TO HIM.

TALK TO HIM ABOUT WHAT HIS BAIL’S GONNA BE SET AT?

KEEP YOU POSTED, SARGE.

SO, WHAT DID RYAN DO?

WELL, THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE

TO A HOTEL ROOM WHERE HE WAS STAYING,

AND WE’RE JUST LOOKING TO TALK TO HIM

BEFORE THE WHOLE THING GETS BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION.

AW, HOW MUCH IN DAMAGE?

THEY HAVEN’T FINISHED ASSESSING IT.

WHAT’S GOT THE HOTEL SO PISSED OFF IS NOT SO MUCH THE DAMAGE,

BUT THAT RYAN BOOKED WITHOUT EXPLAINING OR APOLOGIZING.

SO WE NEED TO FIND HIM, HAVE HIM DO BOTH THOSE THINGS,

THEN WE CAN AVOID THEM PRESSING CHARGES.

I DON’T KNOW WHERE HE IS.

HE WAS LIVING WITH YOU RECENTLY?

YEAH, TILL A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.

LISTEN, UM...

HE’S YOUNG.

A LITTLE CONFUSED, BUT HE IS NOT A BAD KID.

IT’S JUST‐‐ HE...

JUST TELL US WHAT’S GOING ON HERE, ERIC.

HE GOT INTO THE CLUB SCENE.

YOU KNOW, THOSE ALL‐NIGHT THINGS.

I TRIED TO LET HIM GET IT OUT OF HIS SYSTEM,

BUT HE NEVER DID, SO I HAD TO GIVE HIM THE BOOT.

WELL, UH, FRIENDS OR PLACES HE HUNG OUT YOU KNOW OF?

HE WAS HANGING OUT WITH THIS POSER.

WHAT’S HIS NAME? UM...

CHASE. CHASE ALLWORTH.

WAS YOUR BROTHER GETTING INTO DRUGS?

I MEAN, ALL THOSE CLUB KIDS ARE DOING SOMETHING. RIGHT?

BUT THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO RYAN,

HE SAID THAT HE GOT THIS GOOD JOB WORKING FOR THIS PROMOTER.

ARE YOU SURE THAT RYAN’S THE ONE WHO DID THE DAMAGE?

I MEAN, WHOSE NAME WAS THE HOTEL ROOM REGISTERED UNDER?

WELL, RYAN’S. HE WAS LIVING THERE.

HE TOLD ME HE WAS LIVING IN A LOFT OUT IN TRIBECA.

NOWHERE NEAR THAT.

MORE LIES.

GREAT. CHASE ALLWORTH. WE’LL LOOK HIM UP.

TELL RYAN HE’S ON HIS OWN.

I’M NOT BAILING HIM OUT THIS TIME.

WILL DO.

I LOOK OUT THE WINDOW AND THAT GUY WAS LOOKING LIKE A CROOK.

MR. EDMUNDS...

HE TURNS AROUND AND GOES FOR A GUN AND I’M SUPPOSED TO, WHAT‐‐

WAVE A WHITE FLAG?!

MR. EDMUNDS‐‐ I DEFENDED MYSELF!

DID THE 9‐MILLIMETER BULLETS COME FROM YOUR GUN?

YES.

HOW MANY OTHER UNLICENSED GUNS DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR APARTMENT?

ONE OTHER.

HE WENT FOR HIS GUN, I FIRED A WARNING SHOT.

NOW I’M NOT SAYING HE’S WRONG, BUT I’M SURE AS HELL NOT WRONG.

YOU NEED TO GET YOURSELF AN ATTORNEY, MR. EDMUNDS.

I WAS PROTECTING MY HOME.

THIS IS WRONG.

YEAH, STILL NO LUCK FINDING THIS, UH, RYAN DOOLING KID.

HIS CELL PHONE WAS SHUT OFF A WEEK AGO.

BUT THE FRIEND THAT RYAN’S BROTHER TURNED US ON TO,

CHASE ALLWORTH? HE’S COMING IN FROM A CLUB.

WHAT KIND OF CLUB? DANCE CLUB.

AT 1:00 IN THE AFTERNOON ON A TUESDAY?

YEAH, IT’S ONE OF THESE RAVE‐TYPE DEALS.

OH, OKAY. RAVE CLUB. SURE.

WELL?

WE GOT A UNIFORM SITTING ON HIM. HE’S A COLLAR, SARGE.

GOOD WORK.

MEDAVOY, KEEP ME IN THE LOOP ON THIS CHASE ALLWORTH.

WHAT’S UP?

JANET GRAFTON.

SHE TRANSFERRED HERE, RIGHT?

YEAH, LAST WEEK.

YOU FRIENDLY WITH HER? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, FRIENDLY?

I MEAN, CAN YOU TALK TO HER? WOULD SHE BE HONEST WITH YOU?

YEAH. I DON’T KNOW. WHY?

SHE SHOWS UP ON HATCHER’S CELL PHONE.

A BUNCH OF CALLS IN TO HER.

YOU DUMPED HATCHER’S CELL PHONE?

ON THE SLY.

NO KIDDING, ON THE SLY, ANDY.

IF ANYBODY FOUND OUT YOU DUMPED A FELLOW COP’S PHONE RECORDS...

I DON’T TRUST THIS GUY, OKAY? HE’S BAD NEWS.

ARE YOU LOSING IT? ARE YOU GONNA TALK TO THIS JANET GRAFTON OR NOT?

ABOUT WHAT?

HER SENSE OF THIS GUY. JUST TALK TO HER.

IF SHE CAN’T HELP US OUT, OR IT COMES UP ZERO,

THEN I’LL DROP IT.

BECAUSE YOU CAN’T ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG?

ARE YOU GONNA DO IT? YES OR NO.

THANKS.

[ SIGHS ]

Shh!

[ SNORING ]

CHASE.

CHASE! I’M ALLERGIC!

HEY.

YOU ALL RIGHT? SURE. WHAT’S UP?

YOU KNOW RYAN DOOLING?

YEAH, I KNOW RYAN.

WE’RE LOOKING FOR HIM.

OKAY.

THERE WAS A LITTLE DAMAGE DONE TO HIS HOTEL ROOM.

WE NEED TO CLEAR IT UP.

I DON’T KNOW WHERE HE IS, MAN.

[ SNIFFS ]

ARE YOU SURE YOU’RE ALL RIGHT?

I’VE JUST BEEN UP FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.

[ SNIFFS ]

SO, WHAT’S UP?

RYAN DOOLING. HOW CAN WE FIND HIM?

I DON’T KNOW. I SWEAR.

I’M TIRED. I JUST WANT TO SLEEP.

WE HEARD HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN HANGING OUT WITH A BRUNETTE?

HE HUNG AROUND A BUNCH OF GIRLS.

THIS ONE VISITED HIM IN HIS HOTEL LAST NIGHT.

OKAY, OKAY, OKAY, LET ME THINK.

WHAT’S HER NAME?

HE SIGNED HER TO HIS LABEL.

HE DID WHAT?

THIS CHICK. SHE’S A DEEJAY.

RYAN SIGNED HER TO HIS RECORD COMPANY.

RECORD COMPANY?

HEY, CHASE!

THE GIRL THAT RYAN DOOLING’S BEEN HANGING OUT WITH LATELY...

EVA.

YEAH.

HER LAST NAME SOUNDED FUNNY.

LIKE IT WAS A NOUN OR SOMETHING.

LIKE "SHELF" OR SOMETHING.

WARM.

YEAH, WARM.

EVA WARM?

YES. OKAY?

I’M TIRED. I JUST WANT TO GET SOME SLEEP.

CAN I GET SOME SLEEP?

SO YOU GETTING ACCLIMATED ALL RIGHT TO THE PRECINCT?

YEAH, THEY GOT ME IN A GOOD SQUAD

WITH A GOOD BOSS DOING CITY‐DAY TOURS.

NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

PLUS, THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT ITALIAN FOOD?

BEING NEAR MULBERRY STREET DOESN’T HURT.

HELL, YEAH.

SO, WHAT’S UP?

[ CLEARS THROAT ] KINDA NEED A FAVOR.

WELL, I KINDA OWE YOU ONE, SO YOU JUST MIGHT BE IN BUSINESS.

STAN HATCHER’S BEEN ASSIGNED TO OUR SQUAD.

YEAH, I KNOW STAN.

HE WAS INVOLVED IN A SHOOTING THIS MORNING. I HEARD.

WE’RE TRYING TO GET A FEEL FOR THE GUY.

YOU KNOW, GET A FEEL FOR WHAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING,

AND, IN DOING SO,

WE GOT A TIP HE HAD A CALL IN TO YOU.

SO I’M JUST ASKING IF YOU CAN POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

IF THIS IS NONE OF MY BUSINESS, JUST TELL ME NOW.

STAN’S FRIENDS WITH MY EX. THE PHONE’S STILL IN MY NAME.

THAT’S PROBABLY WHY WHOEVER TIPPED YOU SAID STAN WAS CALLING ME.

GOT IT.

SO, YOU’RE HAVING DOUBTS ABOUT STAN,

WHICH IS WHY YOU’RE ASKING ME?

YOU DON’T LOOK TOO SURPRISED.

LIKE I SAID, WE’RE JUST TRYING TO GET A FEEL.

HOW DID THE SHOOTING GO DOWN THIS MORNING?

STAN WAS DRIVING TO THE GYM REAL EARLY,

SAW A PERP, GAVE CHASE,

SOME NEIGHBOR MISTOOK STAN AS A BURGLAR, FIRED OFF A ROUND.

THIS IS OVER ON BROOME AND ELIZABETH.

NEIGHBOR’S LOOKING NEGLIGENT

SINCE HIM HAVING AN ILLEGAL GUN PROVOKED THE WHOLE THING.

YOU DIDN’T HEAR THIS FROM ME, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

STAN’S EX‐GIRLFRIEND LUCY?

SHE LIVES ON BROOME AND ELIZABETH.

WHEN ME AND SCOTT WERE MARRIED, WE WENT THERE FOR DINNER ONE TIME.

LUCY TIMMINS.

AND THAT DOESN’T COUNT AS A FAVOR‐‐ THAT’S ON THE HOUSE,

’CAUSE STAN’S A COMPLETE ASSHOLE.

I GOTTA HEAD BACK.

HI.

MISS TIMMINS?

MAY I HELP YOU?

DETECTIVES SIPOWICZ AND CLARK, 15th SQUAD.

YEAH, I GOT YOUR MESSAGE. I’VE JUST BEEN REALLY SWAMPED.

WELL, WE WERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, ANYWAY.

DO YOU HAVE A FEW MINUTES?

SURE.

YOU AND STAN HATCHER DATED FOR A COUPLE YEARS?

THAT’S RIGHT.

ARE YOU AWARE HE WAS INVOLVED

IN A SHOOTING THIS MORNING AT THE BUILDING NEXT TO YOURS?

YEAH, I, UH...

LOOKED OUT MY WINDOW AFTER IT ALL HAPPENED,

AND I SAW STAN THERE, AND, UH...YEAH.

THAT’S ALL. WAS HE WITH YOU LAST NIGHT?

NO, WE BROKE UP MONTHS AGO.

HE WAS SHOT LOOKING OVER THE FENCE THAT BORDERS YOUR BUILDING.

I DIDN’T KNOW THAT.

YOU SEE OUR DILEMMA HERE, MISS TIMMINS?

SURE, BUT STAN WASN’T WITH ME.

HAVE YOU HAD PROBLEMS WITH STAN MAKING UNANNOUNCED VISITS SINCE THE BREAKUP?

YOU’RE GETTING INTO PERSONAL ASPECTS OF MY LIFE

THAT I’M NOT COMFORTABLE SHARING WITH YOU.

YOUR NEIGHBOR GOT SHOT AS WELL.

PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

SO WE’RE GONNA HAVE TO DELVE INTO YOUR PERSONAL ASPECTS.

THE ALTERNATIVE IS A COURT ORDER.

SO, WHAT’S IT GONNA BE?

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW?

WOULD YOU REALLY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT?

I DON’T KNOW WHAT HATCHER’S BEEN FILLING YOUR HEAD WITH

IN TERMS OF COPS PROTECTING COPS,

BUT WE CAME HERE TO FIND OUT WHAT’S GOING ON.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW, DETECTIVE?

HAS HATCHER BEEN COMING BY YOUR APARTMENT UNINVITED?

YES.

YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM ENDED BAD?

QUITE. SO, IF WE WERE TO MAKE THE ASSUMPTION

THAT, UH, HE WAS LOOKING OVER THAT FENCE TO SPY ON YOU‐‐

YOU’D PROBABLY BE RIGHT.

WAS HE EVER ABUSIVE?

NOT...PHYSICALLY.

HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED INTO GETTING AN ORDER OF PROTECTION?

I DON’T WANT TO PISS STAN OFF MORE THAN HE ALREADY IS.

I JUST WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE.

ALL RIGHT, WE APPRECIATE YOU LEVELING WITH US.

DON’T TELL HIM WE TALKED.

PLEASE?

SURE.

HAVE A SEAT, EVA. THANKS.

Medavoy: YOU KNOW A RYAN DOOLING?

YEAH.

WHEN DID YOU SEE HIM LAST?

UH, A COUPLE DAYS AGO AT THIS CLUB‐‐

THE LIGHT FACTORY.

SO, YOU DIDN’T STOP BY HIS HOTEL LAST NIGHT?

THE HOTEL FAUNTLEROY? NO.

THE NIGHT CLERK SAID AN ATTRACTIVE BRUNETTE ASKED HIM

WHICH ROOM RYAN WAS IN.

NOW, THAT WASN’T YOU?

LET’S START OVER. THANKS.

DID YOU SEE RYAN AT THE HOTEL FAUNTLEROY LAST NIGHT?

YES.

WHY DID YOU LIE ABOUT IT?

I PROMISED MY DAD THAT I’D STOP HANGING AROUND RYAN.

SORRY. DID YOU AND RYAN ARGUE?

NO...

JUST HUNG OUT.

THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO RYAN’S HOTEL ROOM.

DAMAGE THAT WOULD INDICATE THAT AN ARGUMENT TRANSPIRED.

NOT EVEN CLOSE.

I WENT OVER THERE, TRIED TO TALK HIM INTO GOING OUT,

HE SAID HE NEEDED TO STAY IN, SO I SPLIT.

DID HE SAY WHAT HE WAS GONNA BE DOING AFTER YOU LEFT?

DID HE SAY IF ANYBODY WAS COMING TO MEET HIM?

NO. DO YOU KNOW WHERE RYAN IS NOW?

’CAUSE, UH, WE GOTTA GET THIS WORKED OUT.

ISN’T HE AT THAT HOTEL?

NO, HE CLEARED OUT THIS MORNING.

THEN, I DON’T KNOW. WHO ARE HIS FRIENDS THAT HE MAYBE CRASHED WITH?

WE WEREN’T REALLY THAT CLOSE.

WELL, CLOSE ENOUGH FOR YOUR FATHER TO HAVE MET HIM

AND FORMED AN OPINION.

BELIEVE ME, IT TOOK MY FATHER ALL OF 10 SECONDS

TO THINK THAT RYAN WAS A CON ARTIST.

EVA, YOU SEEM LIKE A NICE GIRL.

WE’D PREFER THIS TO BE THE LAST TIME

WE’D HAVE TO INCONVENIENCE YOU.

I WOULDN’T MIND THAT EITHER.

GOOD.

WELL, JUST SO YOU KNOW‐‐ WE NEED TO LOCATE RYAN

AND WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT HOTEL ROOM,

AND IF WE DISCOVER LATER THAT YOU WITHHELD INFORMATION ON US,

WE’RE REALLY GONNA INCONVENIENCE YOU.

THERE’S A BAR ON THIRD?

THE POWERHOUSE.

RYAN HANGS OUT THERE A LOT. ALL RIGHT. GOOD.

HE MUST HAVE DONE A HELL OF A LOT OF DAMAGE

TO THIS HOTEL ROOM.

THANKS FOR COMING IN.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

SUCH SERIOUS LOOKS.

THERE’S SOMETHING WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT, STAN.

APPARENTLY.

WE GOT AN ANONYMOUS PHONE CALL‐‐ A TIP.

NOW WE GOTTA DEAL WITH IT.

LET’S DEAL WITH IT.

YOUR EX‐GIRLFRIEND LIVES IN THE BUILDING

NEXT TO WHERE THE SHOOTING WAS?

THAT’S RIGHT. SHE DOES.

WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL US?

’CAUSE THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ME CHASING THAT PERP.

YOU WERE LOOKING UP INTO YOUR EX‐GIRLFRIEND’S WINDOW.

THAT’S WHAT SOME PEOPLE COULD INTERPRET IT AS.

AND THAT’S ANOTHER REASON WHY I DIDN’T WANT TO TELL YOU.

I DIDN’T WANT TO PUT YOU IN THE POSITION WHERE YOU HAD TO LIE FOR ME.

WE GOT A CIVILIAN SHOT, AND HE’S ARRESTED.

FOR GOOD REASON.

I WAS CHASING A PERP.

I WAS DOING MY JOB.

AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU BELIEVE ME,

THAT SON OF A BITCH IN THE APARTMENT IS AT FAULT.

HE’S WALKING AROUND WITH AN ILLEGAL GUN

WANTING TO KILL AN INTRUDER.

AND I WAS OUTSIDE HIS APARTMENT

AND HE DID NOT FIRE A WARNING SHOT.

HE WAS SHOOTING TO KILL ME.

YOU WERE SPYING ON YOUR EX.

THAT’S WHAT GOT THE WHOLE BALL STARTED.

I WAS CHASING A PERP!

BRING IT DOWN A PEG, STAN.

HE NEEDS TO BRING IT DOWN A PEG.

YOU’VE HAD IT OUT FOR ME SINCE DAY ONE

AND TO HELL IF I’M GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE.

LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU’RE DONE SO WE CAN GET BACK TO THE SHOOTING.

OH, WE’RE NOT GETTING BACK TO NOTHING.

WE’RE DONE TALKING.

[ DOOR SLAMS ]

ALL RIGHT, I KNOW YOU DON’T LIKE THIS GUY,

AND HE IS A HOTHEADED PRICK,

BUT IF IT WAS ANY OTHER COP,

WE’D LET THE EX‐GIRLFRIEND ASPECT STAY A SECRET.

SO HATCHER WASN’T DOING ANYTHING WRONG?

ABSOLUTELY, HE WAS.

BUT NOT ENOUGH TO PULL THE PLUG ON HIM.

SEE, THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE KEEP DOING WITH THIS DICKHEAD.

THEY COVER FOR HIM, HE GOES ONTO THE NEXT SQUAD,

HE SCREWS UP ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS GUY SHOULD NOT BE A COP.

HE DIDN’T BUST DOWN HER DOOR, HE DIDN’T MAKE ANY THREATS,

AND SHE SAID HE WASN’T PHYSICALLY ABUSIVE.

[ SCOFFS ] DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?

I’VE DROPPED A DIME ON A COP I THOUGHT WAS A THREAT,

BUT WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TO PULL THE PLUG ON HATCHER RIGHT NOW,

AND IF WE DID, WE’D BE BUYING OURSELVES A WORLD OF PROBLEMS.

MEANING YOU’RE AFRAID OF HATCHER’S UNCLE?

WHETHER I AM OR NOT, WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH.

GREAT.

WONDERFUL.

EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

SURE.

’CAUSE I THOUGHT I HEARD A DOOR BEING SLAMMED SHUT.

WE GET A CROSS‐BREEZE GOING THROUGH HERE SOMETIMES.

WELL, TAKE CARE OF IT. YOU GOT IT, SARGE.

HEY, RYAN DOOLING WAS GRABBED UP BY ANTI‐CRIME GETTING ON A BUS.

YEAH, WE’LL, UH, BRING HIM IN.

WHAT?

[ SIGHS ] I’M A LITTLE IN THE DARK HERE.

IT’S GONNA GO DOWN AS A GOOD SHOOT, RIGHT?

THERE WERE A COUPLE QUESTIONS THAT WERE ANSWERED.

DONE DEAL.

THAT’S ALL I NEED TO KNOW? YEP.

YOU GOT A SECOND?

LISTEN...

SOMETIMES I GET WORKED UP, AND MY TEMPER FLARES.

I APOLOGIZE.

OKAY.

BUT I’M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

WHAT IT IS YOU GOT AGAINST ME.

AND FORGET ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TODAY‐‐

THIS STARTED WHEN I SET FOOT IN THIS SQUAD.

IS IT BECAUSE I SMACKED THAT SUSPECT AROUND?

OR, YOU KNOW, GAVE A LITTLE PAYBACK

TO THE FREAK WHO KIDNAPPED THOSE WOMEN

AND KEPT THEM AS SEX‐SLAVES?

I MEAN, YOU’RE AN ACTIVE COP, RIGHT?

YOU’RE NOT AFRAID TO PUT YOUR HANDS ON A GUY.

WE GOT MORE IN COMMON THAN YOU THINK, SIPOWICZ.

IS THAT IT?

ARE YOU, LIKE, THREATENED BY ME OR SOMETHING?

IN TERMS OF THIS JOB, STAN, WE GOT NOTHING IN COMMON.

AND IF IT WAS UP TO ME,

THERE’S NO WAY YOU’D BE CARRYING A BADGE AND A GUN.

WELL, I THOUGHT WE COULD WORK THIS OUT.

I GUESS NOT.

EVERYBODY’S ENTITLED TO A SCREW‐UP HERE AND THERE.

BUT YOU’VE MADE A CAREER OUT OF IT.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR‐‐ FIND A NEW HOME.

’CAUSE I’M NOT GONNA LET YOU PUT A STINK ON THIS SQUAD.

I’M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

IF ANYBODY’S DUE FOR A CHANGE OF VENUE, IT’S YOU.

YOU THINK?

DAMN STRAIGHT.

ARE YOU GONNA RUN TO YOUR UNCLE

AND BEG HIM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT ME?

I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THE RUN PART,

BUT SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT A PRETTY GOOD IDEA HOW THINGS WORK.

WELL, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING‐‐

YOU, YOUR UNCLE, AND ANYBODY WHO BEARS A RESEMBLANCE

CAN SHOVE IT CLEAN UP THEIR ASS!

BETTER START THINKING ABOUT FINDING A NEW COMMAND, PAL.

SO, RYAN, UH...

WHY YOU LEAVING TOWN IN SUCH A HURRY?

Ryan: JUST KINDA DONE WITH NEW YORK.

READY FOR THAT NEXT ADVENTURE.

YOU GOT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS BACK AT THE FAUNTLEROY.

DON’T LAUGH...

I’M SERIOUS‐‐

I WAS GONNA MAIL THEM THE THREE DAYS’ I OWED.

WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE BULLET HOLE IN YOUR WALL.

SAY WHAT? YOU HEARD ME.

I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.

WE’RE FIGURING THE GUN WENT OFF

EITHER WHEN EVA WAS THERE OR SOMETIME AFTER.

I DON’T KNOW ABOUT A BULLET HOLE.

YOU KNOW, YOUR CURRENT APPROACH HERE, RYAN?

THE HEAD‐IN‐THE‐SAND THING?

THAT’S JUST GONNA GET YOU STUCK HERE IN NEW YORK.

BUT TELL US WHAT HAPPENED,

APOLOGIZE TO THE HOTEL FOR THE HASSLE,

AND YOU CAN GO ON YOUR MERRY WAY.

HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN THAT HOTEL?

THERE’S MORE BULLET HOLES IN THAT PLACE THAN BEDS.

YOU GOTTA LEVEL WITH US.

WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE IT WAS ME?

GEORGE SCHIFFER.

THE OLD MAN LIVING IN THE ROOM NEXT TO YOU.

REMEMBER HIM? YEAH, I KNOW GEORGE.

HE’S DEAD...FROM A BULLET THAT CAME FROM YOUR ROOM.

NOW, THIS GUY WAS JUST LIVING HIS LIFE,

MINDING HIS OWN BUSINESS.

HE DESERVED BETTER THAN TO GO OUT WITH A BULLET IN HIS CHEST,

BUT YOU AND YOUR STUPID‐ASS CLUB FRIENDS CAUSED HIS DEATH.

I DIDN’T DO IT.

HELL, YEAH, YOU DID.

UNLESS YOU CONVINCE US DIFFERENT.

IT WAS EVA.

EVA?

WHAT HAPPENED?

SHE CAME BY ’CAUSE I OWED HER MONEY,

BUT I’D BLOWN IT ALL.

SHE PULLS OUT A GUN TO THREATEN ME, AND IT JUST WENT OFF.

SO WE AGREED TO DENY IT EVER HAPPENED.

YOU KNOW, FROM WHAT I’VE HEARD ABOUT YOU, RYAN,

IT WOULDN’T BE A STRETCH YOU PINNING THIS ON A GIRL.

EVA FIRED THE GUN! THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED.

YOU’RE STICKING AROUND. GEORGE IS REALLY DEAD?

YOU DON’T NEED TO PUT ON THE FAKE GRIEF.

ACTUALLY, IT’S KIND OF AN INSULT.

I’M NOT FAKING NOTHING.

I MOVED INTO THAT PLACE, ’CAUSE MY BROTHER KICKED ME OUT.

I WAS COMPLETELY ALONE, AND I GUESS I WAS CRYING.

THERE’S A KNOCK ON MY DOOR, AND IT’S GEORGE.

HE ASKED ME IF I WAS OKAY.

HE’S THE ONLY PERSON TO ASK ME THAT IN I DON’T KNOW HOW LONG.

IF THIS COMES BACK TO YOU...

SO THEN THE GUY IN THE APARTMENT

GETS CHARGED WITH CRIMINAL POSSESSION

OF AN UNREGISTERED WEAPON, RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT,

AND SECOND‐DEGREE ASSAULT.

NO PRIORS, SO FIGURE HE’LL DO LESS THAN A YEAR.

EVEN IF HE JUST GOT PROBATION,

AS LONG AS HE GETS THE MESSAGE HE WAS IN THE WRONG.

SURE.

YOU ALL RIGHT WITH THAT, STAN?

NO PROBLEM. I’M NOT LOOKING TO HURT THE GUY.

WE’LL GET THE CASE FOLDER OVER TO YOU AFTER WE’RE DONE.

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.

Ortiz: YOU TOO.

THANKS, MAN.

YOU GOT IT.

I DIDN’T FIRE A GUN.

EVA...

YOU’RE DUG IN, OBVIOUSLY, AND I KNOW, AT A CERTAIN POINT,

PEOPLE FEEL THEY’VE COMMITTED TO A LIE, AND THEY WON’T UNDO IT,

BECAUSE, MORE THAN ANYTHING, THEY’RE EMBARRASSED.

BUT WE’RE NOT YOUR PARENTS.

WE’RE NOT GONNA HOLD IT AGAINST YOU.

WE GOT RYAN SAYING YOU FIRED THE GUN.

WE GOT WITNESSES WE CAN PARADE IN FRONT OF A JUDGE.

YOU GOTTA START THINKING CLEARLY NOW, EVA.

RYAN’S GOT A LOT OF NERVE BLAMING THIS ON ME.

DID HE FIRE THE GUN?

[ SCOFFS ]

I AM SO DONE WITH THIS BULLSHIT.

AND I SWEAR‐‐ AND YOU CAN TELL THE PEOPLE AT THE HOTEL THIS‐‐

I AM ABSOLUTELY GOING TO CHANGE MY LIFE.

OKAY, WE’LL TELL THEM.

’CAUSE THIS WAS JUST... THE CAPPER.

THIS WAS THE WAKE‐UP CALL THAT I NEEDED.

I AM ENROLLING AT NASSAU COMMUNITY COLLEGE TODAY.

WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?

I MET RYAN AT THE LIGHT FACTORY‐‐

THIS CLUB, AND HE FINDS OUT THAT I WANT TO BE A DEEJAY.

[ LAUGHS ]

AND HE TELLS ME THAT HE WORKS FOR A RECORD LABEL

AND A BUNCH OF SWEET‐TALK LATER,

HE GETS ME TO GIVE HIM 500 BUCKS TO COVER "PRODUCTION COSTS,"

BUT THEN EACH TIME I SEE HIM, I START GETTING THE BRUSH‐OFF.

SO I HAVE MY COUSIN FOLLOW HIM ONE NIGHT,

AND I FIND OUT THAT HE’S STAYING AT THAT DUMP, THE FAUNTLEROY.

COUPLE DAYS GO BY, I DON’T SEE HIM AT THE CLUB,

I WENT TO HIS HOTEL TO GET MY MONEY.

DID YOU TAKE THE GUN WITH YOU?

YES, I DID.

AND I CAN’T TELL YOU WHY, OTHER THAN

I WAS SO FRUSTRATED AND SO TIRED OF BEING LIED TO

AND $500 IS A LOT TO ME.

AND I WAS JUST PISSED FOR LETTING MYSELF GET CONNED.

WHERE’D YOU GET THE GUN?

MY COUSIN.

HE WAS GONNA COME WITH ME, BUT HE HAD TO PULL A DOUBLE‐SHIFT.

I KNOW WHERE HE KEEPS IT, SO I JUST ROLLED OVER TO HIS PLACE AND I TOOK IT.

SO, WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU GOT TO RYAN’S ROOM?

HE FINALLY ADMITS THAT HE DOESN’T WORK FOR A RECORD LABEL

AND THAT HE BLEW ALL MY MONEY ON DRUGS.

SO I PULLED OUT THE GUN TO SHOW HIM THAT I WAS SERIOUS,

AND I PULLED BACK THE...

HAMMER.

RIGHT, I COCKED THE HAMMER BACK‐‐

JUST TO SCARE HIM.

THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING TO SHOOT HIM.

WHEN I PULLED MY FINGER BACK ON THE TRIGGER, THE GUN WENT OFF,

AND IT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF THE BOTH OF US.

SO, THERE I AM IN THIS SKANKY HOTEL ROOM

WITH A GUN IN MY HAND,

TRYING TO GET 500 BUCKS BACK FROM A LYING DRUG ADDICT

THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE ME A SUPERSTAR DEEJAY.

I’M SO DONE WITH ALL THAT. I SWEAR TO GOD.

YOU NEED TO WRITE THAT UP.

Okay.

"I ACCIDENTALLY...

"FIRED THE GUN...

"IN RYAN DOOLING’S ROOM.

I AM VERY SORRY."

THERE’S, UH...

THERE’S SOMETHING ELSE WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT NOW, EVA.

WHAT?

THE BULLET YOU FIRED WENT THROUGH A WALL

AND A MAN WAS KILLED.

NO.

YES.

NO.

YOU’RE LOOKING AT CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE.

I’M GOING TO JAIL?

WELL, IT’S UP TO A JURY,

BUT SOMEONE DIED AS A RESULT OF YOUR BEHAVIOR.

WE’RE SORRY.

HEADING OUT, STAN?

GOING DOWN TO BELLEVUE TO GET THE BANDAGE CHANGED.

MOST GUYS WOULD HAVE TAKEN A DAY OFF.

SAYS A LOT ABOUT YOU.

THANKS, SARGE.

ALL RIGHT, PARTNER.

NIGHT, STAN. HEAL UP.

HEY, A BUDDY OF MINE HAS HIS MONTHLY POKER GAME TONIGHT.

LOW STAKES, GOOD GUYS, ALWAYS FUN.

I CAN GET YOU A SEAT IF YOU WANT.

I ALREADY GOT PLANS. THANKS, THOUGH.

I’M OUT.

EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

YEAH. THANKS.

THERE’S NOTHING I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT?

I MEAN, I AM PARTNERED WITH THE GUY.

JUST KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.

DON’T LET HIM DRAG YOU INTO SOMETHING BAD.

OKAY.

Irvin: 15th SQUAD?

UH, DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ?

HEY.

YEAH?

I’LL COME DOWN RIGHT NOW.

[ SIGHS ]

WHAT’S UP?

SO IF THERE’S ONE THING WE LEARNED ABOUT HATCHER TODAY,

IT’S THAT HE’S GOT A JEALOUS STREAK AND A PROBLEM WITH WOMEN.

AGREED? OKAY.

YOU KNOW HIS WIFE WAS MURDERED, RIGHT?

YEAH, THE GANG HE WAS LOOKING INTO TO BRING DOWN,

TRIED TO KILL HIM WITH A CAR BOMB, AND GOT HIS WIFE INSTEAD.

NO ONE WAS EVER COLLARED FOR IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU’RE STARTING TO WORRY ME.

SO I GO LOOK AT THE CASE FOLDER.

THE WHOLE INVESTIGATION CENTERED ON THIS GANG‐RETALIATION THEORY.

GO HOME.

BE WITH CONNIE, PLAY WITH YOUR KIDS, CHILL OUT.

SO IN THE FIVES,

I SEE THAT HATCHER’S PARTNER IN THE GANG UNIT

ASKED TO BE RE‐ASSIGNED AFTER THIS WHOLE THING WENT DOWN.

THE GUY’S NAME IS CARL GARRETY.

I CALL TO FIND HIM, HE’S NO LONGER ON THE JOB.

HE THREE‐QUARTERED OUT OFF A KNEE INJURY THREE YEARS BACK.

HE’S NOW AN INSURANCE INVESTIGATOR.

SO I’M GOING TO SEE HIM...

IN AN HOUR.

ANDY, TAKE A STEP BACK AND LOOK AT WHAT YOU’RE DOING.

I’M GOING TO MEET THIS GUY. YOU COMING OR NOT?

HOLD UP.

WERE YOU SCARED?

OF WHAT?

WELL, IF THIS GANG WAS TRYING TO KILL YOUR PARTNER,

DIDN’T YOU THINK THEY’D TRY AND TAKE YOU OUT, TOO?

I GUESS. MAYBE A LITTLE. YEAH.

IT WAS A CRAZY TIME.

YOU CLOSE TO HATCHER’S WIFE?

WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?

YOU’RE THROWING SHOTS BACK.

SEEMS LIKE IT’S DIFFICULT TO TALK ABOUT.

WELL, SHE WAS A GREAT LADY.

WE JUST TALKED TO HIS EX‐GIRLFRIEND TODAY

OVER THE SHOOTING THAT HAPPENED?

SHE SAID HATCHER WAS ABUSIVE.

HUH.

WERE YOU AWARE OF ANY ABUSE BETWEEN HATCHER AND HIS WIFE?

THEY HAD THEIR SHARE OF PROBLEMS.

ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT?

SHE WASN’T HAPPY.

SHE WAS AFRAID OF HIM.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS? SHE CONFIDED IN ME.

WHY DIDN’T YOU COME FORWARD WITH THAT INFORMATION?

I MEAN, IT’S NOT LIKE YOU AND HATCHER WERE THE BEST OF BUDDIES.

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS DROP A DIME.

I WAS MARRIED, TOO.

YOU WERE HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH HER.

I COULDN’T SAY ANYTHING THEN,

’CAUSE I WAS SCARED OF LOSING MY WIFE.

I WAS SCARED OF WHAT STAN WOULD DO.

’CAUSE IF HE DID KILL MARCY,

HE WAS CAPABLE OF DOING THE SAME TO ME.

I’M DIVORCED NOW.

SO THERE’S NO ONE TO HURT BY TALKING ABOUT IT.

AND AS FAR AS MY FEARS OF WHAT STAN WOULD DO?

TO HELL WITH IT. I DON’T CARE ANYMORE.

WHAT DID HATCHER’S WIFE TELL YOU ABOUT HIM?

SHE WAS READY TO LEAVE.

SHE TOLD HIM THAT,

HE ACCUSED HER OF HAVING AN AFFAIR,

AND SHE ADMITTED TO IT.

HOW SOON AFTER SHE TOLD YOU DID SHE TURN UP DEAD?

THREE DAYS.

I KEPT HOPING THEY’D FIND A DIARY ENTRY OR...

MAYBE SHE TOLD A GIRLFRIEND AND THEY’D COME FORWARD

SO I WOULDN’T HAVE TO GET INVOLVED.

PLUS, WHO KNOWS?

IT COULD HAVE BEEN A COINCIDENCE.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN A RETALIATION HIT.

[ INHALES DEEPLY ]

I GOTTA GO.

GOOD LUCK.

OH, MAN.

HATCHER KILLED HIS WIFE.

EITHER HE CONTRACTED IT OR HE DID IT HIMSELF,

BUT I GUARANTEE YOU, HATCHER KILLED HIS WIFE.
