PREVIOUSLY ON "NYPD BLUE"...

YOU'VE HAD IT OUT FOR ME SINCE DAY ONE,

AND THE HELL IF I'M GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!

SO WHEN STAN'S UNCLE CALLS AGAIN,

I'LL JUST RING HIM THROUGH TO YOU.

YOU ACTUALLY THINK THAT MEANS ANYTHING TO ME?

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR‐‐ FIND A NEW HOME,

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

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

WHAT DID HATCHER'S WIFE SAY ABOUT HIM?

HE ACCUSED HER OF HAVING AN AFFAIR,

AND SHE ADMITTED TO IT.

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

THREE DAYS.

I GUARANTEE YOU HATCHER KILLED HIS WIFE.

SIPOWICZ, COULD YOU COME INTO THE OFFICE?

CLOSE THE DOOR.

YOU GONNA PACE ALL DAY?

THE DEPARTMENT'S BEEN CHARGED WITH BEEFING UP PATROLS,

SO THEY HAVEN'T BEEN BACKFILLING THE BUREAU

LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO.

YOU SEE WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS? NO.

BECAUSE OF THE PATROL ALLOCATIONS,

SOME SQUADS ARE COMING UP SHORT MANPOWER‐WISE.

SO TO EQUALIZE IT OUT,

THEY GOTTA MOVE SOME GUYS AROUND.

AND WE GOT TO GIVE UP A GUY,

AND THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME A CHOICE AS TO WHO,

SO DON'T GO GRIPING AT ME. WHO IS IT, EDDIE?

YOU‐‐ YOU'RE TRANSFERRED

TO MISSING PERSONS AT THE MORGUE.

I'M TRANSFERRED?

THE BUREAU DIDN'T GIVE ME A CHOICE,

SO THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.

SO SPARE THE DISCUSSION.

YOU'RE SERIOUS?

THE DAY‐TOUR GUY AT THE MORGUE'S NAMED DORLAN.

HE'S EXPECTING YOU.

DON'T MAKE THIS HARDER THAN IT'S GOTTA BE.

THIS COME FROM CHIEF OF PERSONNEL,

HATCHER'S UNCLE, YOUR BUDDY?

IT CAME FROM ONE P. P.

FROM HATCHER'S UNCLE OFF A CALL FROM HATCHER,

AND YOU KNOW IT, AND YOU JUST FOLDED!

YOU DUG THIS GRAVE, NOT ME.

YOU REMEMBER HOW I SAID A TIME WOULD COME

WHEN YOU'D NEED TO SHOW HOW YOU GOT SPINE?

YOU COULD HAVE LEFT WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

YOU COULD HAVE WORKED YOUR CASES.

NOW'S THAT TIME, EDDIE.

HIS UNCLE IS THE CHIEF OF PERSONNEL.

ANDY, I'M SORRY.

[ SIGHS ]

WHAT'S UP?

I'M BEING TRANSFERRED... TO THE MORGUE.

OH, MY GOD!

ON ACCOUNT OF WHAT?

SOMETHING ABOUT FUNDING AND MANPOWER.

THAT'S A LOAD OF BULLSHIT.

YEAH, WELL, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT.

I'LL BE BACK FOR MY LOCKER.

ANDY...

WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?

Hatcher: UNREAL‐‐

THE GUY'S LIKE A LEGEND AROUND HERE.

UNREAL.

ANDY SIPOWICZ.

IT'S OKAY. CAN I HELP YOU?

YEAH, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU

ABOUT THIS TRANSFER DOWN TO THE MORGUE.

THEY'VE BEEN HAVING SOME PROBLEMS ON THE NIGHT TOUR.

THEY NEED A GUY THAT'S GOT SOME EXPERIENCE.

THAT'S ABOUT ALL THERE IS TO TALK ABOUT.

YOUR NEPHEW DOESN'T BELONG ON THE JOB.

TRANSFERRING ME OUT ISN'T GONNA CHANGE THAT.

THIS IS ABOUT NEEDING A GUY IN THE MORGUE.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT A BEEF WITH STAN.

MAYBE A CHANGE OF SCENERY WOULD BE GOOD FOR YOU.

HE'S A BAD COP. YOU'RE PROTECTING A BAD COP.

YOU SHOULD LEAVE NOW.

YOU KNOW WHAT? FINE.

YOU NEED ME, I'LL BE AT THE MORGUE,

'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT DRIVING ME OFF THE JOB‐‐ NO WAY.

HEY, YOU SIPOWICZ?

DORLAN?

THAT'S ME! BUT IT'S WALLY.

WELCOME TO CENTRAL CONTROL.

THIS IS YOUR DESK. THIS IS MINE.

YEAH, LOOK... CELL PHONES WORK DOWN HERE?

HARDLY.

'CAUSE I'M EXPECTING A CALL, SO I'M GONNA STEP OUT.

YOU JUST GOT HERE.

BESIDES, WE'RE GETTING A GUEST IN A FEW MINUTES‐‐

HOMELESS, D.O.A. I'LL BE BACK.

IT'S THE SMELL. AM I RIGHT?

I'M JUST GONNA HEAD OUT FOR A LITTLE BIT.

NO, REALLY, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LEAVE DURING A TOUR.

THAT AND BEING ON TIME ARE THE KEYS TO THIS PLACE.

OH, AND ALWAYS ANSWER ON THE SECOND RING.

YOU ANSWER ON THE FIRST,

THEY THINK YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO DO.

ANSWER ON THE THIRD, THEY THINK YOU'RE BEING LAZY.

SECOND RING.

I'M TELLING YOU, SIP, I'VE BEEN HERE 16 YEARS,

AND I GOT IT DOWN TO A SCIENCE.

YOU LIKE PASTRIES, DORLAN?

I'LL BRING YOU SOME RIGHT AFTER I GET THE CALL.

YEAH, OKAY, ALL RIGHT.

I'LL SEE YOU IN, WHAT, FIVE MINUTES? TEN?

D.O.A. IS MOLLY ZIFFREN.

NEIGHBOR SAW THE DOOR AJAR AND LOOKED IN.

THAT'S THE WEAPON.

DUFFY SAID HE SAW SIPOWICZ WALKING OUT WITH A MOVING BOX.

THAT TRUE?

YEAH. NEIGHBOR KNOW THE GIRL?

SAID SHE WAS A MASSAGE THERAPIST.

SO WHAT'S UP WITH SIPOWICZ?

TRANSFERRED‐‐ IT JUST CAME DOWN.

WHAT ELSE DID THE NEIGHBOR SAY?

THE GIRL SAW CLIENTS IN THE APARTMENT.

I ASKED, "WAS IT LEGIT, OR WAS SHE A..." YOU KNOW.

BUT THE NEIGHBORS SAID IT WAS LEGIT THERAPY.

YEAH, I'LL START A CANVASS.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL THIS

ABOUT BEEFING UP PATROL OR BACKFILLING THE BUREAU.

ME EITHER, GREG. LET'S JUST WORK THE CASE.

YEAH, SURE.

ADDRESS BOOK IS OPEN UP

TO A DR. KLEINER, PSYCHOLOGIST.

LOOKS LIKE THE D. O. A. WAS WRITING DOWN THE NUMBER.

DOOR'S LOCKED.

SUPER DIDN'T HAVE A KEY.

I'LL CALL THE S.U. TO GAIN ENTRY.

SOMEBODY WANT TO BRING US UP TO SPEED?

STILL FIGURING IT OUT, STAN.

Jones: CHECK THIS OUT.

WONDER IF THE NEIGHBORS KNEW ABOUT THIS.

GOT SOME SICK PUPPIES OUT THERE.

[ CELL PHONE RINGS ]

HELLO?

WE'LL GET THIS WORKED OUT, ANDY.

SCREW 'EM. LISTEN‐‐

I'M GONNA MEET UP WITH HATCHER'S OLD PARTNER AGAIN,

GET INTO MORE DETAIL ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON

WHEN HATCHER'S WIFE WAS KILLED.

WHAT CAN I DO? I'M GONNA BE LOOKING AT INFORMANTS

OR ANY SKELS THAT HATCHER HAD IN HIS LIFE BACK THEN‐‐

ANYBODY THAT COULD HAVE HELPED HIM PLANT THAT CAR BOMB.

WHEN YOU GET THE NAMES, CALL ME.

JUST TELL GIBSON YOU NEED SOME LOST TIME.

WHEN YOU DEAL WITH HATCHER, JUST PLAY EVERYTHING OFF.

I DON'T WANT THAT DICKHEAD HAVING A CLUE.

YOU GOT IT.

I'LL BE IN TOUCH.

THANKS FOR MEETING ME, CARL.

YEAH.

SO YOU'RE REALLY GOING AFTER STAN?

ABSOLUTELY.

THESE ARE COPIES OF THE ARREST RECORDS

FOR WHEN ME AND STAN WERE PARTNERS,

PLUS A LIST OF OUR INFORMANTS.

DID HE ALSO KEEP HIS OWN INFORMANTS?

YEAH, MORE UNREGISTERED THAN REGISTERED,

BUT NO ONE GAVE HIM ANY FLAK ABOUT IT

BECAUSE EVERYONE KNEW WHO STAN'S UNCLE WAS, NUMBER ONE.

AND NUMBER TWO,

HE DID COME UP WITH SOME GOOD INFORMATION.

DID THEY GO AT HIM AT ALL WHEN HIS WIFE WAS KILLED?

NAH, THE DEPARTMENT BOUGHT THE THEORY

THAT STAN WAS THE INTENDED TARGET,

SO THEY CONCENTRATED ON IT BEING A GANG HIT.

ANYTHING ELSE THAT COULD HELP ME OUT?

WHAT YOU DO HAVE GOING FOR YOU

IS I DON'T THINK A LOT OF STAN'S INFORMANTS

WERE EVER APPROACHED BY INVESTIGATORS.

IT'S BEEN EIGHT YEARS,

SO MAYBE SOME OF THEM ARE READY TO TALK.

ALL RIGHT, I APPRECIATE YOU HELPING ME.

HEY, LISTEN, ANDY...

I'M DOING THIS FOR MARCY.

I REALLY LOVED HER.

I WAS GONNA LEAVE MY WIFE, SHE WAS GONNA LEAVE STAN,

AND WE WERE GONNA BE TOGETHER.

YEAH. I'VE HAD TO LIVE WITH THE GUILT

THAT HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH ME MAY HAVE GOT HER KILLED.

WELL, I'M GONNA DO EVERYTHING I CAN

TO MAKE SURE THAT STAN FACES CHARGES, BELIEVE ME.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

THANK YOU.

THAT WAS DUNCAN KLEINER,

THE DOCTOR WHOSE NUMBER THE D. O. A. WROTE DOWN.

I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE STILL PRETTY SHOCKED OVER ANDY AND ALL.

WHAT DID THE DOC SAY?

MOLLY ZIFFREN WAS A PATIENT.

SHE NEVER MENTIONED ANYONE WHO WAS A THREAT.

ANYTHING PAST THAT, HE SAID, WAS PRIVILEGED INFORMATION.

PAIN IN THE BALLS.

AND I GOT TERA WORKING ON THE D. O. A.'s E‐MAILS.

WE'LL SEE IF ANYTHING POPS.

RITA, ANYTHING?

SHE WAS WORKING THROUGH THE D. O. A.'s ADDRESS BOOK.

FRIEND OF THE D. O. A. SAID THE GIRL

WAS A FULL‐TIME DOMINATRIX

AND THAT SHE'D RECENTLY GONE SOLO FROM A DUNGEON.

LEFT THE DUNGEON ON GOOD TERMS OR...?

THERE WAS SOME BAD TENSION WITH THE OWNER.

MAYBE THEY COULDN'T WORK IT OUT WITH BULLWHIPS,

SO THE OWNER CRACKED HER ONE.

ADDRESS FOR THE OWNER‐‐ HER NAME'S PAULETTE VOZE.

SOUNDS LIKE A PLACE TO START.

YOU GUYS TAKE THIS, WE'LL KEEP WORKING THE ADDRESS BOOK.

WHAT, YOU CALLING THE SHOTS NOW?

JUST A SUGGESTION.

WE'LL TAKE THE DOM CHICK. I DON'T CARE.

NO, WE GOT HER.

JOHN? I'LL BE ON THE AIR.

CLARK, YOU GOT A SEC?

HEY, I JUST WANT TO BE UP FRONT WITH THIS.

I GOT NO BEEF WITH YOU.

SAME HERE.

ME AND SIPOWICZ‐‐

NO NEED TO BE COY, RIGHT?

HE HAD A HARD‐ON FOR YOU,

WHICH I DIDN'T APPROVE OF, BUT THAT'S HIS DEAL.

ALL I KNOW IS I GOT A LOT OF YEARS LEFT ON THIS JOB.

I'M NOT LOOKING TO MAKE ANY ENEMIES.

WE'RE STRAIGHT, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.

GOOD TO HEAR.

YOU KNOW, ALONG THOSE LINES, ME AND ORTIZ...

NOT HITTING IT OFF?

YEAH, BIG SHOCKER, RIGHT?

SHE'S NICE ENOUGH,

BUT SHE'S NOT, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE GUYS.

I HEAR YOU.

SO WHAT DO YOU SAY?

I'M THINKING ME AND YOU‐‐

WE COULD KICK SOME SERIOUS ASS TOGETHER.

I THINK SO, TOO.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? NOT RIGHT AWAY.

WOULDN'T WANT IT TO GET BACK TO ANDY

UNTIL HE HAS TIME TO GET OVER THIS.

YEAH, I'M NOT LOOKING TO DANCE ON ANYBODY'S GRAVE HERE.

DOWN THE ROAD A LITTLE BIT, HELL, YEAH.

RIGHT ON.

I'LL GET AT YOU LATER.

YES?

WE'RE LOOKING FOR PAULETTE VOZE.

SHE'S BUSY.

Voze: WHO'S THERE, TOILET?!

POLICE.

I CAN'T BE ANY QUIETER. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

THIS ISN'T ABOUT THE NOISE.

WE DON'T CARE ABOUT HOW YOU PAY THE BILLS, SO LET US IN.

GO CLEAN THE BATHROOM WITH YOUR FACE.

DO YOU KNOW A WOMAN NAMED MOLLY ZIFFREN, MISS VOZE?

YES, I KNOW MOLLY ZIFFREN.

WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU SAW HER?

A MONTH AGO. ANY HOSTILITY BETWEEN YOU?

WHY?

MOLLY'S APARTMENT GOT RIPPED OFF.

[ LAUGHS ] ME STEAL FROM HER?

THAT GIRL DOES NOT STOP!

MEANING WHAT?

[ TOILET FLUSHES ] UP TILL A MONTH AGO I RAN A PLACE CALLED "THE IRON HEEL."

MOLLY WAS MY TOP GIRL, BUT SHE GOT BIGHEADED ABOUT IT,

AND TOOK OFF WITH ALL OF HER CLIENTS AND MOST OF MINE.

IT SHUT ME DOWN.

I'D SAY IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO START A GRUDGE.

I HAVE OTHER WAYS OF WORKING OUT MY AGGRESSIONS.

THEFT ISN'T ONE OF THEM.

WHERE WERE YOU THIS MORNING, 6:00 A. M. ON?

HERE. SLAVE WAS WATCHING ME FROM THE DOG CAGE.

SLAVE!

WHERE WAS GODDESS AT 6:00 THIS MORNING?

SLEEPING.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

SPEAK!

BERNARD [CLEARS THROAT] WESTLEY.

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ANY REASON

TO LIE FOR THE GODDESS HERE, BERNARD, WOULD YOU?

'CAUSE WE'RE GONNA LOOK INTO YOU.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA TELL MY FIRM‐‐

STOP SPEAKING.

WHAT DID MOLLY GET STOLEN

THAT'S GOT YOU SO RILED UP ANYWAY?

ACTUALLY, NOTHING WAS STOLEN, MISS VOZE.

MOLLY ZIFFREN WAS MURDERED THIS MORNING.

WHOA! I'M OUTTA HERE.

TAKE ONE MORE STEP, WE'LL CUFF YOU.

THE HELL WITH THAT.

LOOK, I'M A CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY.

I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING, AND NEITHER IS SHE.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE NOT INVOLVED HERE,

THIS IS ONLY GONNA PROLONG THINGS.

HI.

HELLO.

WALLY DORLAN, JOHN CLARK.

HE'S HELPING ME OUT WITH SOMETHING.

OKAY.

'CAUSE YOU COULD TAKE MEAL NOW IF YOU WANT TO.

NO, I'M WORKING THROUGH. THIS GUY, DEREK EMERY‐‐

HIS NAME KEEPS COMING UP.

OLD C. I.?

IF HE IS, HE'S NOT REGISTERED.

HERE HE GOT POPPED FOR SMACK POSSESSION,

AND HATCHER WAS HIS FIRST CALL.

THEN OVER HERE HE'S NAMED AS A WITNESS.

THIS ON ONE OF THE STIFFS? SOMETHING ELSE.

GOT A PLACE TO LOOK FOR THIS GUY?

THE HOME NUMBER HE GAVE WHEN HE WAS COLLARED

IS A POOL HALL ON HOUSTON NEAR BROADWAY.

MALONEY'S.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT? I'LL BE IN TOUCH.

YEAH. THANKS.

WHAT IS IT, DORLAN?

IT'S FROWNED ON‐‐

WORKING CASES NOT RELATED TO THE STIFFS.

YEAH. WELL, LET THEM FROWN.

ROBBERY CASE?

HOMICIDE.

WITH A C.I. INVOLVED?

MAYBE.

MAYBE A DIRTY COP INVOLVED.

IN A HOMICIDE?

MAYBE HIS WIFE. GET OUT.

HE GOT ME TRANSFERRED DOWN HERE

'CAUSE I WAS LOOKING INTO IT.

OKAY, NOW I KNOW YOU'RE FULL OF IT,

OR JUST PARANOID.

AND IF YOU'RE RUNNING YOUR SHOW FROM DOWN HERE,

IT'S GONNA KICK UP A LOT OF DUST ON BOTH OF US.

DORLAN, I GOT NOTHING TO LOSE,

AND IF YOU REALLY SPENT 16 YEARS DOWN HERE IN THIS PIT,

YOU DON'T, EITHER.

THE MORGUE'S IMPORTANT WORK.

IT AIN'T NAILING A DIRTY COP.

NOW, I GOT A LOT TO PLOW THROUGH, SO, UH...

YEAH, WELL, I GOT FILING.

UNLESS, UH...

NAH.

WHAT, WALLY?

WELL, I WOULDN'T MIND

FAMILIARIZING MYSELF WITH THE CASE,

JUST TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY OWN KITCHEN.

DEREK EMERY?

YEAH.

DETECTIVE CLARK, 15th SQUAD.

[ SIGHS ]

REMEMBER STAN HATCHER? HE'S A COP.

YEAH.

LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT YOUR SITUATION WITH HIM.

YOU'RE NOT HERE TO BUST ME?

NO, I NEED YOUR HELP.

[ Chuckling ] DAMN!

I THOUGHT YOU WERE FIXING TO BRING ME IN.

YOU RUNNING FROM SOMETHING?

NO, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WITH YOU GUYS.

DAMN!

STAN HATCHER‐‐ WHAT WAS YOUR DEAL WITH HIM?

WHAT, HATCHER DO SOMETHING WRONG?

MAYBE.

SEE, I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT!

KNEW WHAT?

THAT ONE DAY THAT FOOL WAS GONNA END UP DEAD

OR ARRESTED BY INTERNAL WHATEVER THE HELL IT'S CALLED.

HEY, CHASE, REMEMBER THAT DETECTIVE HATCHER‐‐

HEY, HEY!

WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT YOU AND HATCHER?

[ SIGHS ]

LOOK, HE BUSTED ME A COUPLE TIMES

BACK WHEN I WAS STILL MIXED UP IN THAT GANG.

SO OFF THAT, HE KEPT TRYING TO TURN ME OUT AS HIS INFORMANT,

WHICH I WASN'T DOWN WITH HIM,

BUT SO AS NOT TO PISS HIM OFF, I GAVE HIM SOME LAME INFO.

HE GIVES ME SOME LAME PROMISES.

WE DID THAT LITTLE DANCE. DIDN'T GO NOWHERE.

WHO WAS HATCHER RUNNING WITH BACK THEN?

TALKING ABOUT RIGHT AROUND WHEN HIS WIFE WAS KILLED.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING INTO?

HOW HATCHER'S WIFE DIED?

MAYBE.

AND YOU'RE NOT THINKING IT WAS GANG RELATED?

HOW ABOUT YOU QUIT ASKING QUESTIONS, DEREK?

WELL, THERE WAS THIS WHITE DUDE,

MID‐LEVEL DEALER, LIVED IN HELL'S KITCHEN.

HE GOT ARRESTED A WHOLE LOT, BUT HE NEVER DID NO TIME.

WORD WAS HATCHER PROTECTED HIM.

WHAT WAS HIS NAME?

"PIG."

BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S A NICKNAME.

YOU THINK?

HEY, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ABOUT THIS.

I'M NOT TRYING TO GET MIXED UP WITH HATCHER AGAIN.

CAT'S CRAZY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

LOOKING FOR SCOTT CALLUM.

SCOTT.

Callum: YEAH?

UP FRONT.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT STAN HATCHER.

HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.

I'M TALKING ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO,

BACK WHEN YOU WERE GOING BY THE NICKNAME "PIG."

COMING BACK TO YOU NOW?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

HATCHER'S WIFE DIED FROM A CAR BOMB.

I WANT TO KNOW WHO PLANTED IT.

IT WAS A RETALIATION HIT FROM A GANG HE WAS INVESTIGATING.

WE'RE LOOKING AT IT FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE NOW,

LIKE THAT HATCHER WAS BEHIND IT.

YEAH, WELL, THAT'S AN INTERESTING THEORY.

I KNOW YOU WERE IN HATCHER'S HIP POCKET BACK THEN,

SO YOU ARE GONNA POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION,

AND I'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE. HATCHER STILL A COP?

YEAH.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM OR THE BOMB.

SORRY. I GOTTA GET BACK TO WORK.

I GUESS SCOTT WANTS ME TO HAVE ABOUT EIGHT RADIO CARS

COME DOWN HERE IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS.

WHAT THE HELL, MAN?

I WANT A NAME.

LOOK, I DID MY TIME.

SAVE ALL THAT FOR YOUR MOM. YOU GIVE ME A NAME,

OR YOUR LIFE IS GONNA START GOING BACKWARDS IN A HURRY,

STARTING WITH ME PUTTING THE WORD OUT

THAT YOU WERE A SNITCH BACK THEN!

EMILIO JUAREZ.

AS FAR AS INFORMANTS GO, HE'S HATCHER'S BOTTOM BITCH.

NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME.

I DON'T WANT YOU CALLING HATCHER.

I DON'T WANT YOU TAKING CALLS FROM HIM.

HAVE A SEAT.

MR. WELKOS, ARE YOU A CLIENT

OF A DOMINATRIX NAMED MOLLY ZIFFREN?

I WAS.

HAVE YOU BEEN SENDING HER E‐MAILS

OVER THE PAST WEEK AND A HALF?

I DON'T MEAN TO BE RUDE,

BUT WOULD YOU MIND TELLING ME WHAT THIS IS ABOUT?

"I FEEL HORRENDOUSLY USED BY YOU.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE ABOVE THIS KIND OF TREACHERY."

OKAY, YES, I WROTE THOSE E‐MAILS.

WHAT MADE YOU SO UPSET?

A MISUNDERSTANDING, WHICH I GOT OVER.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE DANCING AROUND THIS, MR. WELKOS.

SHE BILLED ME FOR A DATE.

IF YOU'RE A CLIENT, WHAT'S SO UNUSUAL?

THIS WAS A "DATE" DATE.

I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO START SEEING EACH OTHER SOCIALLY.

APPARENTLY, I WAS WRONG.

TO THE TUNE OF?

SHE BILLED ME $500 FOR SERVICES RENDERED.

AND THAT'S WHAT PROMPTED THE E‐MAILS?

IS SHE CALLING THEM HARASSMENT,

BECAUSE I QUIT WRITING HER THREE DAYS AGO.

WHERE WERE YOU THIS MORNING AROUND 6:00 A. M.?

WALKING MY DOG‐‐ THE DOG PARK.

ANYONE SEE YOU IN THE DOG PARK?

ALL THIS OVER SOME E‐MAILS?

MOLLY ZIFFREN GOT ASSAULTED, MR. WELKOS.

YOU THINK I ASSAULTED HER?!

SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAD A REASON.

NO, NO WAY. I WORSHIPPED HER.

BUT WHEN YOU FELL IN LOVE, SHE WANTED TO KEEP IT BUSINESS.

NOW, THAT'S GOTTA STING.

IT DID, BUT I GOT OVER IT.

TALK TO MOLLY,

ASK HER IF I'M CAPABLE OF VIOLENCE.

SHE WAS MURDERED, MR. WELKOS.

NOW, TELL US WHAT HAPPENED

SO WE CAN WORK ON YOUR EXPLANATION,

OR WRITE DOWN WHO SAW YOU IN THE DOG PARK THIS MORNING.

DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ, 15th SQUAD.

EMILIO JUAREZ.

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO SEE ME. THANK YOU.

SO I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT STAN HATCHER.

YOU'RE NOT HERE ABOUT MY CASE?

NO.

THEY TOLD ME YOU WERE NYPD.

I'M HERE TO ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT STAN HATCHER.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL HELP YOU IF YOU HELP ME.

WHAT ARE YOU IN FOR, EMILIO?

INSURANCE FRAUD AND IDENTITY THEFT,

NEITHER NOR WHICH I WAS PARTY TO.

BUT AN ILLEGAL SEARCH OF MY APARTMENT,

AND THEY FIND 50 FAKE I. D.'s

AND LETTERHEAD FROM A FICTIONAL DOCTOR.

OKAY, THAT PART IS TRUE. I'LL ADMIT IT,

BUT I DEFY ANYONE TO PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT

THAT THOSE WERE MINE.

BUT MY ATTORNEY ADVISES ME TO PLEAD "NO CONTEST,"

SINCE I'D ONLY GET A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

I END UP WITH A 3‐YEAR BIT,

AND I CAN'T GET ANOTHER LAWYER TO RE‐EXAMINE MY CASE.

I WILL LOOK INTO IT, BUT LATER, NOT NOW.

NOW OR I AIN'T HELPING YOU.

LATER, OR I CALL MY FRIEND IN THE FBI,

WHO WILL TURN THIS OVER TO THE U. S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE,

AND HE'LL ADD ON FEDERAL CHARGES.

DO YOU WANT THAT?

NO.

STAN HATCHER‐‐ EIGHT YEARS AGO,

HIS WIFE WAS KILLED BY A CAR BOMB.

WE'RE LOOKING INTO THE POSSIBILITY HE WAS INVOLVED.

WHOA! SERIOUSLY?

YEAH.

I ALWAYS WONDERED IF HATCHER WAS BEHIND THAT.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT?

I'LL TELL YOU THIS‐‐ TWO DAYS AFTER IT HAPPENED,

I SEE THIS GUY NAMED FRANKIE LAWRENCE.

FRANKIE'S ANOTHER ONE OF HATCHER'S BOYS.

FRANKIE WANTS TO BUY SOME DOPE OFF ME,

WHICH I MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE SOLD TO HIM.

BUT TO PAY FOR IT,

HE PULLED OUT THIS WAD OF CASH THAT WOULD CHOKE A HIPPO.

THIS IS A GUY WHO NEVER HAD MORE THAN 20 BUCKS.

YOU ASK HIM WHERE HE GOT IT?

YEAH‐‐ HE JUST SMILE AND SAY HATCHER BEEN GOOD TO HIM.

ON THE GATE!

YOU'RE GONNA LOOK INTO THIS FOR ME, AREN'T YOU?

I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

MINIMUM SECURITY,

WORKING IN THE LIBRARY, SOMETHING!

EXCUSE ME, MA'AM?

YES?

I'M DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ.

I'M LOOKING FOR FRANKIE LAWRENCE.

ARE YOU HIS MOTHER?

YES.

I'M NOT TRYING TO GET FRANKIE IN TROUBLE.

I JUST NEED TO TALK TO HIM.

NOT TRYING TO GET HIM IN TROUBLE?

THAT'S RIGHT.

BECAUSE ALL YOU COPS CARE ABOUT HIM SO MUCH.

I MEAN, YOU'RE HIS BEST FRIEND.

YOU'D NEVER SCREW HIM OVER.

HE'S GOT YOUR WORD, RIGHT?

I NEED TO TALK TO YOUR SON.

HE'S DEAD, YOU SON OF A BITCH.

HE'S IN A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN'T HARASS HIM ANYMORE.

HOW DID HE DIE?

WHAT DO YOU CARE?

I'M INVESTIGATING A COP

WHO MAY HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE GUYS

WHO WAS HARASSING YOUR SON.

HE DIED THREE MONTHS AGO.

HOW?

THE DRUGS.

I KNOW THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT TIME FOR YOU,

BUT DID FRANKIE EVER MENTION A COP NAMED STAN HATCHER?

[ Crying ] NO!

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE TRY TO‐‐

PARDON ME, BOSS,

BUT I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC

OF SENDING A FIRST‐GRADE DETECTIVE TO WORK IN THE MORGUE.

THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME A CHOICE, MEDAVOY.

IT'S A DUMPING GROUND FOR DEAD WOOD.

WERE YOU GUYS NOT WORKING A CASE?

YEAH, THERE'S NO RECORD OR WARRANT FOR PAULETTE VOZE,

THE DOMINATRIX OUR D.O.A. USED TO WORK FOR,

OR FOR HER LAWYER/SLAVE BERNARD WESTLEY.

HOW ABOUT THIS YAHOO WELKOS, THE ONE WALKING HIS DOG?

WE'RE STILL RUNNING THE NAMES HE GAVE US.

ALL ANSWERING MACHINES.

Medavoy: A GUY CAN TOLERATE SIX MONTHS IN THE MORGUE

BEFORE THE FORMALDEHYDE STINK ROTS YOUR BRAIN OUT.

ORTIZ, ANY PROGRESS?

WELKOS GOT A TICKET FOR ALTERNATE SIDE

A BLOCK AWAY FROM THE D. O. A.'s APARTMENT BUILDING

EARLY THIS MORNING. WHERE'S WELKOS NOW?

WE LET HIM GO TO WORK.

YEAH, WE'LL GET HIM BACK IN.

BOSS, I GOT AN INTERVIEW

ON THAT GAS‐STATION ROBBERY LAST WEEK.

TAKE A RADIO.

CLARK?

TWO SECONDS.

I JUST GOT A CALL FROM AN OLD INFORMANT OF MINE.

HE TOLD ME SIPOWICZ CAME BY HIS WORK ASKING ABOUT ME,

ASKING ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES

UNDER WHICH MY WIFE WAS KILLED.

YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS? FIRST I'VE HEARD.

IT'S BAD ENOUGH HE'S STEPPING ON MY WIFE'S MEMORY,

BUT TO TRY AND IMPLICATE ME?

I'VE NEVER BEEN SO PISSED IN MY LIFE!

HE'S LASHING OUT 'CAUSE HE THINKS YOU GOT HIM TRANSFERRED.

I DID GET HIM TRANSFERRED. YOU TELL HIM THAT.

I'LL PASS IT ALONG.

AND YOU ALSO TELL HIM THAT IF HE THINKS

WORKING LATE TOURS AT THE MORGUE IS AS LOW AS HE CAN GO,

HE'S GOT ANOTHER THING COMING.

HEY, STAN, RELAX. HE'LL GET USED TO WORKING THERE.

EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.

HE STOPS WITH THOSE RUMORS TODAY.

YOU TELL HIM THAT.

ALL RIGHT.

I NEED TO KNOW RIGHT NOW,

IF THINGS GET HOT AROUND HERE, WHO YOU BACKING UP?

I'M WITH YOU, MAN.

[ SIGHS ]

UH‐HUH.

YEAH. NO, THAT'S GOOD.

HATCHER'S HIP.

ONE OF THE GUYS MUST HAVE DROPPED THE DIME.

HATCHER GET IN YOUR FACE?

YEAH, TO CONFIRM MY LOYALTY TO HIM.

WON'T LAST‐‐ HE'S GONNA FIND OUT.

ON THE PHONE!

YOU GOT HIM GOOD AND SCARED,

BUT HE'S THROWING OUT A LOT OF THREATS.

IF HE GETS CLOSE TO YOU, YOU'RE BACKING OFF.

HELL, NO!

THERE'S PLENTY OF OPEN DESKS DOWN HERE, JOHN.

I DON'T CARE.

I APPRECIATE IT.

HEY, WAS IT NOT OBVIOUS

THAT I'M TRYING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION?

DID YOU GET SOMETHING?

I'VE BEEN CLAWING THROUGH BACKGROUND

ON YOUR O. D., FRANKIE LAWRENCE.

TURNS OUT HE CONTACTED

A TOTAL OF 8 DIFFERENT PEOPLE ON 17 ARRESTS.

SO I RAN THOSE NAMES PAST A BUDDY OF MINE AT THE FBI.

TURNS OUT THAT ONE OF THE GUYS LAWRENCE CALLED

HAS MILITARY EXPERIENCE.

AS WHAT?

ORDINANCE EXPERT IN AN ARMORED BATTALION.

HE CLEARED LAND MINES.

BOMB GUY.

YEAH, JERRY TOBACK. LIVES ON RIDGE STREET.

GOOD WORK, DORLAN.

JERRY TOBACK?

YEAH.

SIPOWICZ AND CLARK, 15th SQUAD.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WE NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT FRANKIE LAWRENCE.

OKAY.

YOU WERE FRIENDS, RIGHT?

WERE, YEAH, BUT NOT FOR THREE, FOUR YEARS.

YOU TWO HAVE A FALLING OUT?

YEAH.

OVER...?

HE MADE A MOVE ON A GIRL OF MINE.

TOLD HER A BUNCH OF BAD THINGS ABOUT ME

SO HE COULD GET INTO HER PANTS.

THAT WAS IT. I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE.

BUT EIGHT YEARS AGO, YOU TWO WERE TIGHT?

THAT'S RIGHT.

WHEN FRANKIE WAS WORKING WITH A COP NAMED STAN HATCHER.

YEAH.

BACK WHEN HATCHER'S WIFE WAS KILLED WITH A CAR BOMB.

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE AGAIN?

LOOKING TO FIND OUT IF FRANKIE HELPED WITH THAT BOMB.

THAT'S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD BE ASKING FRANKIE.

WE WOULD IF HE WAS STILL ALIVE.

FRANKIE O. D.'d THREE MONTHS AGO.

COPS HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING THAT CAR BOMB

AS A RETALIATION FROM ONE OF THE GANGS,

BUT NOW THAT WE KNOW

THAT HATCHER AND HIS WIFE WERE HAVING PROBLEMS,

WE'RE LOOKING AT IT DIFFERENT.

WHICH IS WHY YOUR MILITARY BACKGROUND GOT RED‐FLAGGED,

IN PARTICULAR, YOUR TRAINING IN EXPLOSIVES.

I WANT CONFIRMATION THAT FRANKIE'S DEAD.

CALL HIS MOM‐‐ CARLA LAWRENCE, STATEN ISLAND.

SHE'S LISTED. GO AHEAD.

NOW'S THE TIME, JERRY. FRANKIE'S GONE.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE JAMMING HIM UP.

AND DO YOU REALLY WANT TO SIT BACK

KNOWING THAT A COP GOT AWAY WITH KILLING HIS WIFE?

ADMITTING TO SOMETHING LIKE,

OH, I DON'T KNOW, THAT I BUILT A BOMB

FOR FRANKIE LAWRENCE EIGHT YEARS AGO‐‐

THAT WOULDN'T EXACTLY BE GOOD FOR ME CAREER‐WISE,

ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I'M TRYING

TO GET BACK VISITATION WITH MY SON.

IF THIS WAS A REGULAR INVESTIGATION,

THERE'S NOT MUCH I COULD PROMISE YOU.

BUT I'M IN A JACKPOT HERE BECAUSE OF STAN HATCHER.

MY CAREER IS ON THE LINE.

SO YOU BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU

I WILL HELP YOU GET YOUR VISITATION BACK,

AND YOU WILL NOT DO A DAY

FOR MAKING THAT BOMB EIGHT YEARS AGO.

I KNEW THIS WOULD GO DOWN ONE DAY.

WILL YOU HELP ME?

YEAH. WHAT THE HELL?

HOW DO YOU KNOW FRANKIE LAWRENCE?

WE WERE FRIENDS‐‐ ROOMMATES FOR A WHILE.

DID THE NAME STAN HATCHER EVER COME UP?

YEAH, FRANKIE TOLD ME

HE BASICALLY WORKED FOR HATCHER AS AN INFORMANT.

DID FRANKIE COME TO YOU

WITH A REQUEST FOR AN EXPLOSIVES DEVICE?

YEAH, A CAR BOMB.

DID YOU MAKE IT FOR HIM?

YEAH, A PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE

THAT WAS SET UP TO BE RIGGED TO THE STARTER.

WHICH YOU KNEW HOW TO PUT TOGETHER HOW?

FROM MY MILITARY TRAINING.

DID FRANKIE EVER SAY WHAT THE BOMB WAS FOR?

NO.

DID HE EVER TELL YOU

IT WAS USED ON STAN HATCHER'S WIFE?

NO, BUT IT WAS KIND OF OBVIOUS.

EVERY TIME IT CAME ON THE NEWS,

HE'D CHANGE THE CHANNEL AND JUST GIVE ME THIS LOOK.

DID YOU INSTALL THE CAR BOMB?

NO.

DID YOU DROP FRANKIE OFF AND SEE HIM INSTALL IT?

NO.

SO YOU'RE NOT POSITIVE WHAT IT WAS USED FOR.

I GOT A PRETTY DAMN GOOD IDEA.

CAN WE TALK OUT HERE FOR A SEC?

WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE?

HATCHER'S EX‐PARTNER, WHO CAN TESTIFY

THAT HATCHER'S WIFE WANTED OUT OF THE MARRIAGE.

AND WHAT ELSE?

DID YOU NOT HEAR THIS GUY?

HATCHER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS WIFE GETTING BLOWN UP.

THERE'S NO EVIDENCE CONNECTING THAT BOMB TO HATCHER.

THIS DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR A CIRCUMSTANTIAL CASE?

THERE'S NO DIRECT ADMISSIONS.

THERE'S NOT EVEN HEARSAY EVIDENCE.

I COULDN'T PROVE THIS CASE

AGAINST AN ORGANIZED CRIME FIGURE.

YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THIS?

HAVE YOU TRACKED DOWN THE FAMILY OF HATCHER'S WIFE?

THEY COULDN'T HELP.

WE CAN'T PROVE IT.

AT LEAST JUST CHARGE HATCHER

AND PRESENT IT TO A GRAND JURY.

LET THEM DECIDE.

I WOULD OPEN UP MY OFFICE TO LITIGATION,

AS IN WRONGFUL PROSECUTION.

IT'S JUST GONNA COME ACROSS AS A PERSONAL VENDETTA.

ARE YOU AWARE OF WHY I GOT TRANSFERRED?

I KNOW THAT HATCHER IS RESPONSIBLE

FOR HIS WIFE GETTING KILLED.

SO, YEAH, I'M TAKING IT KIND OF PERSONAL.

I CAN'T PROVE IT. IT'S THAT SIMPLE.

YOU HAVE TO GET MORE.

WE CAN ALWAYS LEAK IT TO THE PRESS.

THAT'D END UP DOING US MORE HARM THAN HATCHER.

ALL RIGHT. WHAT, THEN?

[ SIGHS ]

WE MAY NEED YOUR HELP ON THIS.

IS THAT GONNA BE A PROBLEM?

HELP LIKE AS IN WHAT?

HELP AS IN STEPPING UP, GIBSON,

LIKE YOU HAVEN'T DONE ONCE TODAY.

OUR CAREERS ARE AT STAKE HERE, GUYS.

EVERYTHING WE WORKED FOR.

[ DOOR SLAMS ]

I UNDERSTAND YOUR LIFESTYLE CHANGE

CAME ABOUT RECENTLY‐‐ IS THAT RIGHT, MR. WELKOS?

ONE OF YOUR CO‐WORKERS SAID YOU MOVED OUT OF YOUR HOUSE

IN CONNECTICUT THREE MONTHS AGO.

MY WIFE AND I SEPARATED.

SAFE TO SAY THAT YOU WERE IN THE THROES

OF A MIDLIFE CRISIS?

I CALL IT SELF‐DISCOVERY.

SEE, MOST GUYS GO THROUGH A MIDLIFE CRISIS,

AND THEY DO STUPID STUFF.

BUY A CONVERTIBLE, DYE THEIR HAIR,

STEP OUT ON THE WIFE.

TRIVIALIZE IT ALL YOU WANT,

BUT MEETING MOLLY WAS AN AWAKENING,

AND I AM DEVASTATED TO HEAR THAT SHE'S DEAD.

BUT MOST GUYS, AFTER A WHILE,

THEY REALIZE THE VALUE OF THE FAMILY THEY LEFT BEHIND,

AND THEY GO HOME WITH THEIR TAIL BETWEEN THEIR LEGS.

WHICH IS ALL GOOD UNLESS THE WIFE WON'T TAKE HIM BACK.

SO YOU ASK YOUR DOMINATRIX OUT ON A NORMAL DATE,

HOPING TO GET BACK SOME OF YOUR NORMAL LIFE.

BUT SHE REJECTS YOU, AND YOU GET ANGRY.

I DIDN'T KILL MOLLY.

WE GOT YOUR FINGERPRINTS IN MOLLY ZIFFREN'S APARTMENT.

WE GOT THE E‐MAILS. I EXPLAINED THOSE.

WE GOT YOUR CAR PARKED A BLOCK AWAY

AT THE TIME OF THE MURDER!

WHAT CAR? I DON'T HAVE A CAR.

YOU DON'T DRIVE A 2002 EXPLORER?

THAT'S NOT YOUR LICENSE PLATE?

STARING OFF INTO SPACE ISN'T GONNA MAKE THIS GO AWAY.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT?

I KILLED MOLLY ZIFFREN.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I WENT OVER THERE, TOLD HER I LOVED HER.

SHE STARTED CALLING ME THE NAMES.

I SAID, THIS WASN'T A SESSION.

"TALK TO ME LIKE A HUMAN BEING."

SHE SLAPPED ME.

THEN SHE WENT FOR HER CANES,

SO I DEFENDED MYSELF.

AND HOW'D YOU KILL HER?

I REALLY DON'T REMEMBER.

I BLACKED OUT.

NEXT THING, I'M BACK OUT ON THE STREET,

KNOWING THAT I JUST DID SOMETHING TERRIBLE.

I RUINED MY LIFE FOR HER.

I RUINED...EVERYTHING.

ALL RIGHT. WE NEED YOU TO WRITE THIS UP.

IS THE BOSS AROUND?

WE'RE GETTING A STATEMENT FROM KENNETH WELKOS.

HE WENT FOR KILLING THE DOMINATRIX?

YEAH, HE'S WRITING IT UP.

'CAUSE I GOT SOMETHING YOU SHOULD SEE.

WHAT'S UP?

NEED YOU IN HERE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

IT'S PRIVATE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?

YOU NEED TO HEAR HIM OUT.

THE ONLY REASON WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION

IS OUT OF COURTESY TO GIBSON.

YOU'RE PUSHING YOUR LUCK, PAL.

WE HAVE A 5:00 APPOINTMENT

AT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE,

AT WHICH POINT

WE'RE GONNA PRESENT OUR EVIDENCE AGAINST YOU.

WE? YOU WITH HIM ON THIS?

YOU'RE PRETTY QUICK THERE, STAN.

WHO MADE THAT CAR BOMB. WHO PLANTED IT IN YOUR CAR.

HOW YOUR WIFE ADMITTED TO HAVING AN AFFAIR BEFORE SHE DIED.

WHO SHE WAS HAVING THE AFFAIR WITH.

HOW SHE WAS SCARED OF YOU.

SEE, WE CAN PROVE YOU ARRANGED YOUR WIFE'S MURDER.

BUT, LIKE I SAID, I OWE GIBSON,

AND, APPARENTLY, HE OWES YOUR UNCLE.

SO HERE'S YOUR OFFER,

WHICH I PERSONALLY DON'T THINK YOU DESERVE.

YOU PUT IN YOUR PAPERS BY 5:00.

IF NOT, I TAKE THAT MEETING AT THE D. A.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL‐‐

YOU'RE OFF THE JOB IN AN HOUR,

OR YOU GET CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT MURDER,

NON‐NEGOTIABLE.

I DID WHAT NOW?

YOU HIRED YOUR SNITCH, FRANKIE LAWRENCE,

TO GET THE CAR BOMB FOR YOU.

FRANKIE LAWRENCE, WHO RECENTLY O. D.'d?

WE GOT THE GUY WHO MADE THE BOMB FOR FRANKIE.

HE KNOWS ABOUT THE WHOLE THING.

YOU KNOW WHAT? PROVE IT.

WHOEVER'S WATCHING,

WHOEVER'S LISTENING IN, PROVE IT!

WE WILL.

YOU AND YOU JUST MADE

THE BIGGEST MISTAKES IN YOUR LIFE.

HAVE A SEAT, MRS. WELKOS.

PLEASE, LEE ANN.

LEE ANN, DO YOU KNOW A WOMAN NAMED MOLLY ZIFFREN?

NO.

SHE'S A DOMINATRIX WHO WAS KILLED THIS MORNING.

OH, I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.

YOUR HUSBAND WAS SEEING HER.

WERE YOU AWARE THAT YOUR HUSBAND WAS INVOLVED WITH A DOMINATRIX?

I SUPPOSE I WAS.

YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND ARE SEPARATED.

YES. HE LIVES IN THE CITY.

YOU SEE, THE PROBLEM IS A 2002 EXPLORER

THAT'S REGISTERED TO YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND

WAS TICKETED THIS MORNING NEAR MISS ZIFFREN'S APARTMENT

AROUND THE TIME OF HER MURDER.

AND WE JUST GOT THE RESULTS OF THE EXPLORER'S EZ‐PASS USAGE,

AND IT SHOWS THAT THE CAR

WAS BACK AND FORTH TO CONNECTICUT THIS MORNING.

THAT WOULD INDICATE THAT YOU DROVE, MA'AM.

DID YOU GO TO MISS ZIFFREN'S APARTMENT THIS MORNING?

WAS THERE AN ARGUMENT?

I WAS THERE.

WE HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT MY HUSBAND,

BUT WHEN I LEFT, SHE WAS ALIVE AND UNHARMED.

WHAT PROMPTED THE VISIT?

THIS HAD GONE ON LONG ENOUGH,

AND I FELT IT WAS TIME FOR HER TO LEAVE KENNETH ALONE,

TO RELEASE HIM OR TAKE THE SPELL OFF

OR WHATEVER IT WAS SHE WAS DOING TO JUST STOP.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "THE SPELL ON HIM"?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO CALL IT.

BUT SHE HAD TO BE CONTROLLING HIM SOMEHOW.

YOU DON'T JUST GO FROM BEING A NORMAL PERSON,

WITH A GOOD JOB, WHO LOVES HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN,

TO BEING KEPT IN A CAGE AND WHIPPED.

IT'S... JUST NOT POSSIBLE.

SO YOU WENT OVER TO TALK, AND IT TURNED VIOLENT.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

NO, I DON'T KNOW WHO KILLED HER.

WELL, AT THIS POINT, NEITHER DO WE.

BUT YOUR HUSBAND CONFESSED IT WAS HIM.

SO EITHER BOTH OF YOU WERE INVOLVED,

OR YOUR HUSBAND FIGURED OUT WHAT HAPPENED

AND COPPED TO IT TO PROTECT YOU.

YOUR HUSBAND MOVING OUT AND ASSUMING THIS LIFESTYLE

MUST HAVE BEEN A LOT TO DEAL WITH,

AND MAYBE WHATEVER MISS ZIFFREN SAID TO YOU

PUSHED YOU OVER THE EDGE,

BUT WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED,

OR YOUR HUSBAND'S GOING TO SPEND

THE REST OF HIS LIFE IN JAIL FOR IT.

SHE SAID I NEEDED TO SEE A SHRINK,

THAT I WAS THE ONE WHO WAS SCREWED UP.

I ASKED HER AGAIN NICELY TO PLEASE LET MY HUSBAND GO,

BUT SHE JUST STARTED LAUGHING!

IS THAT WHEN YOU HIT HER WITH THE STATUE?

KENNETH CALLED LAST NIGHT, SAYING HE WANTED A DIVORCE.

THIS HAD TO STOP. SOMEONE HAD TO STOP HER.

WAS YOUR HUSBAND WITH YOU

IN MISS ZIFFREN'S APARTMENT THIS MORNING?

NO.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

I JUST WANTED MY HUSBAND BACK!

[ CRYING ]

HEY, ANDY, YOU BACK?

NO. JUST STOPPED BY.

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE NOT AROUND.

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO RUN A CASE FOR YOU.

RUN IT FOR ME.

YEAH, LEE ANN WELKOS WENT FOR IT.

WE'LL GET WITH THE HUSBAND, HAVE HIM COME OFF HIS STORY.

HE ADMITTED TO IT TO TRY AND PROTECT HIS WIFE?

YEAH.

HEY, STAN.

Stan: HEY.

YEAH, SO, LISTEN UP, EVERYBODY.

I JUST PUT IN MY PAPERS.

YEAH, THIS SECURITY GIG I'VE BEEN LOOKING INTO

JUST CAME THROUGH.

PLUS, THIS JOB AIN'T WHAT I JOINED UP FOR ANYMORE,

AND IT'S TIME I MADE SOME REAL MONEY.

SO JUST LIKE THAT?

YEAH, JUST LIKE THAT.

WE GETTING BEERS OR ANYTHING?

NO, I'M OUT OF HERE. SO TAKE IT EASY.

YOU TOO.

I'LL SEE YOU AROUND.

YOU BETTER HOPE NOT.

I'D LIKE TO SAY YOU SET THE MORGUE RECORD

FOR QUICKEST ESCAPE,

BUT THERE WAS A GUY IN '89 WHO LASTED AN HOUR.

YEAH?

BUT HE DIDN'T GET TRANSFERRED BACK TO HIS OLD SQUAD.

HE PUT IN FOR RETIREMENT.

SO I GUESS YOU GOT HIM BEAT ON THAT ONE.

THANKS TO YOU.

YOU FOUND THE GUY THAT CRACKED IT, WALLY.

YOU WOULD HAVE GOT TO HIM EVENTUALLY.

YEAH, MAYBE, MAYBE NOT.

BUT YOU FOUND HIM. I OWE YOU.

PUT ME IN YOUR WILL.

I KNOW SOME PEOPLE THAT CAN MAYBE GET YOU BACK ON THE SQUAD.

OH, NO.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. I'M FINE HERE.

CATALOGING STIFFS?

SOMEONE'S GOT TO.

YOU COULD BE WORKING HOMICIDES.

I WAS DOING THAT ONCE, BUT IT GOT TO ME.

I BOOZED UP PRETTY BAD.

NO, NO. THIS IS MY SPEED.

YOU'RE A GOOD COP.

THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR.

HEY.

HEY.

SO EVERYTHING'S WORKED OUT, TRANSFER‐WISE.

GOOD.

I WAS, UH...

I WAS IN A TOUGH SPOT.

AND I DIDN'T HANDLE IT WELL.

AND I FEEL LIKE I, UH, REALLY LET YOU DOWN.

YOU DID.

IF YOU WANT ME TO TRANSFER OUT, I WILL.

YOU GOTTA STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN, GIBSON‐‐

NOT JUST SOME OF THE TIME.

I UNDERSTAND.

WE'LL WORK IT OUT.

THANKS.

YEAH.

I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
