Original subtitles

PREVIOUSLY ON "NYPD BLUE"...

LIEUTENANT THOMAS BALE.

I'VE HEARD THE NAME BALE FROM INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

I REALIZE THAT CARRIES A CERTAIN STIGMA,

BUT YOU'LL FIND ME TO BE AN EXCELLENT BOSS.

START COVERING YOUR ASS RIGHT ABOUT NOW, GUYS.

HOW MANY NIGHTS YOU BEEN OUT TYING ONE ON?

IT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH WORK.

THAT'S ME HAVING A GOOD TIME,

WHICH I'M ENTITLED TO.

IT'S HARD FOR A FEMALE ON THE JOB TO GET RESPECT.

ONE OF THE WAYS TO LOSE IT IS IF YOU'RE FLIRTATIOUS.

I'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH A GUY IN A WORK SITUATION.

THE PROBLEMS I'VE HAD ARE WITH OTHER WOMEN ON THE JOB.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? THAT'S A DEAD RAT, ANDY.

P.A.B.?? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Jones: WHAT'S IT SAY?

"PAYBACK'S A BITCH."

THIS ISN'T A JOKE.

FEMALE, D. O. A.?? TINA MOST.

DUMPED IN A GARBAGE BAG, REAL PREGNANT.

[ SIGHS ]

BRUISES ON HER NECK. I. D. SAYS SHE'S 18.

[ SIGHS ]

SHE'S NEAR TERM ON HER PREGNANCY.

CONSTRUCTION GUY FOUND HER?

SAW HER HAND STICKING OUT OF THE GARBAGE BAG.

WHERE'S HER I. D.? CLARK'S GOT IT.

WHERE'S CLARK? IN HIS CAR AROUND THE CORNER.

HE SAID TO ROUSE HIM WHEN YOU GOT HERE.

YOU MEAN, LIKE WAKE HIM UP?

HE CAN WAKE HIS OWN ASS UP.

[ SIGHS ]

PREGNANT FEMALE D.O.A. CLARK'S IN HIS CAR RACKED OUT.

SEEMS LIKE HE'S KEEPING A LOT OF LATE NIGHTS.

YOU WANT ME TO GET HIM?

ARE YOU HIS MOTHER? 'CAUSE I'M NOT.

HE JUST FOLLOWED US OUT THE DOOR.

WHAT DO WE GOT? FEMALE, D. O. A.

WE'LL WORK UP THE SCENE, START A CANVASS.

ANY UPDATES, YOU'RE THE FIRST TO KNOW.

ACTUALLY, LET'S ALL DIGEST THE CRIME SCENE

AND CONFER BEFORE STARTING A CANVASS.

WELL, I'VE ALREADY DIGESTED THE CRIME SCENE.

YOU WANT TO CONFER DOWN THE LINE,

CALL ME ON MY CELL.

JUST STICK AROUND.

WE'LL MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL ROLLING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

20 MINUTES, BACK HERE.

DETECTIVE CLARK?

HE, UH, ALREADY STARTED A CANVASS.

REEL HIM IN. 20 MINUTES.

[ SIGHS ] I'LL GET JOHN.

IT'S COVERED. I GOT IT.

[ KNOCKING ON WINDOW ]

[ KNOCKING ] JOHN!

[ HORN BLARES ]

ALL RIGHT. YEAH, THANKS, DAVE.

YEAH, APPRECIATE IT.

YOU'RE MAKING ME NERVOUS.

THE FISH ARE ALL HUDDLED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK.

Jones: TAKING A SNOOZE, MAYBE?

NO, THEY HUDDLE AT THE BOTTOM WHEN THERE'S SULFUR UP TOP.

AND THEY'RE LISTING, TOO. HOW LONG THEY BEEN LISTING?

I DON'T KNOW.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

GOT A GUY TO SEE IF YOU'RE INTERESTED.

WHY NOT?

GREG, BALDWIN.

ROBBERY?? RESIDENCE ON FIRST AND A.

WOMAN NAMED LORRAINE STUVAL.

WHERE YOU TWO GOING?

WE GOT A GUY TO TALK TO OFF A VOICE MAIL

FOR THE D. O. A., TINA MOST.

HOW'D YOU GET THE VOICE MAIL?

SHE LIVED WITH HER FOLKS.

THEY SAID SHE GOT AN ODD VOICE MAIL

RECENTLY WHICH THEY SAVED.

LOVE TO HEAR IT.

IT WAS FROM A GUY NAMED MICHAEL COZEN

WHO WAS CALLING WITH CONDOLENCES ON HER MISCARRIAGE.

M.E. SAID TINA WAS EIGHT MONTHS ALONG,

SO THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

THIS GUY MICHAEL LEFT A NUMBER WHICH WE TRACED.

WHAT ELSE DO WE KNOW ABOUT TINA MOST?

SHE DID SIX MONTHS IN RIKERS FOR METH SALES.

SHE GOT OUT EIGHT WEEKS AGO.

ALL GOOD.

BUT VOICE MAILS, ARREST RECORDS

YOU GUYS WERE GONNA GRAB UP??

I'D LIKE TO KNOW EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON IN MY SQUAD.

SO KEEP ME INFORMED TO THE MINUTE.

THE FISH ARE LISTING.

THEY'RE ON A LEAN?? MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH THE WATER.

WHO HANDLES THAT? I DO.

WELL, KEEP ME INFORMED.

MORNING, MISS STUVAL. HOW YOU DOING? NOT SO WELL.

Jones: CAN YOU TELL US WHAT HAPPENED?

I WAS ROBBED BY A MAN IN A MASK.

HOW'D HE GET IN?

HE KNOCKED.

I OPENED THE DOOR

'CAUSE I FORGOT TO CHECK THE PEEP.

WHAT HAPPENED THEN?

HE PUNCHED ME, AND HE TAPED ME UP.

AND WHEN I TRIED TO YELL, HE SAID, "SHUT UP, BITCH."

AND THEN HE WRAPPED THE TAPE AROUND MY FACE.

HE DIDN'T HAVE TO HIT ME. I WOULD HAVE GIVEN HIM ANYTHING.

WHAT'D HE TAKE, MA'AM?

MY GRANDMOTHER'S DIAMOND RING HIDDEN UNDER THE MATTRESS.

DID YOU ALWAYS KEEP IT THERE?

I JUST GOT IT OUT OF THE SAFE DEPOSIT BOX TO SELL

JUST 'CAUSE I'M SO BROKE RIGHT NOW.

WELL, WHO KNEW YOU HAD THE RING?

JUST ME.

YOU LIVE ALONE HERE, MA'AM?

WITH MY HUSBAND.

IS THAT HIM?

IT'S OUR WEDDING DAY.

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT MARRIED IN A PENITENTIARY.

HE WASN'T INVOLVED IN THIS,

AND I WILL NOT HEAR ANY SORT OF PREJUDICE AGAINST HIM.

WHAT DID YOUR HUSBAND DO TIME FOR?

HE GOT LIFE ON A ROBBERY/HOMICIDE

WHICH WASN'T A HOMICIDE.

THE STORE CLERK HAD A HEART ATTACK TWO DAYS LATER.

HE WAS RELEASED SIX MONTHS AGO.

THOUGHT HE GOT LIFE.

HE GOT HIS SENTENCE COMMUTED

FOR SAVING A CORRECTIONS OFFICER DURING A RIOT ON HIS TIER,

PROVING THAT HE HAS A GOOD HEART,

AND HE WOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

WE'LL STILL NEED TO TALK TO HIM, MA'AM.

IF YOU COULD TELL US HIS NAME AND WHERE HE MIGHT BE?

HMM.

LEON BELCON. HE'S MAYBE AT THE SCRAP BAR.

PLEASE TELL HIM I KNOW HE WASN'T INVOLVED.

WE WILL.

THANK YOU.

MA'AM.

OH.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SEAT?

MR. COZEN...

A GIRL NAMED TINA MOST WAS ATTACKED LAST NIGHT.

WE'RE TALKING TO FOLKS ON HER PHONE RECORD.

YOUR NAME CAME UP.

HOW'D YOU NOW HER?

WE'RE FRIENDS?? ME AND TINA AND MY WIFE.

FRIENDS FROM WHERE?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION.

18?YEAR?OLD SPEED DEALERS

DON'T HANG MUCH BY COLUMBUS AVENUE.

UNLESS IT WAS A LITTLE, YOU KNOW,

COMMERCE WENT ALONG WITH FRIENDSHIP?

NO, NO. TINA WAS OUR BIRTH MOTHER.

WE WERE GOING TO ADOPT HER BABY,

BUT TWO DAYS AGO, SHE MISCARRIED.

WAS THAT THE CONDOLENCE CALL YOU LEFT ON HER MACHINE?

MY WIFE AND I WERE DEVASTATED.

MR. COZEN...

TINA MOST WAS MURDERED.

YOU JUST SAID SHE WAS ASSAULTED.

AND IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS

OR IF YOU FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS PULLING A CON,

NOW IS THE TIME TO LET US KNOW.

WHAT CON? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

TINA WAS PREGNANT WHEN SHE DIED?? FULLY.

YOU'RE SAYING SHE LIED TO US?

AND YOU CALLING HER A FRIEND AT FIRST,

LIKE THE ADOPTION WAS A BIG SECRET,

TELLS US YOU MIGHT BE, TOO.

THE ADOPTION PROCESS...

WASN'T ENTIRELY LEGITIMATE.

IT WAS A??

GOD, THIS SOUNDS SO DIRTY.

IT WAS AN UNOFFICIAL TRANSACTION.

YOU WERE BUYING HER KID?

MY WIFE HAS ENDOMETRIOSIS.

I HAVE A MOTILITY ISSUE.

YOU SCUMBAG. EXCUSE ME?

ALL RIGHT, LET'S MOVE ON.

YEAH, YOU HAD SOME CASH AROUND. SO WHY NOT BUY A KID?

WE'VE ENDURED THREE YEARS

OF FERTILITY INJECTIONS, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION.

ADOPTION WAS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE.

HOW MUCH HAD YOU PAID TINA SO FAR?

$5,000?

WHICH YOU LOST WHEN SHE MISCARRIED?

WE WERE TOLD THAT IT HAD BEEN SPENT

ON HER PRENATAL CARE TO THAT POINT.

TOLD BY WHO?

STEVE McCLINTOCK, A NURSE AT OUR FERTILITY CLINIC.

HE WAS SORT OF THE GO?BETWEEN. HE INTRODUCED US TO TINA.

AND HOW'D THAT TRANSPIRE?

YOU'D HAVE TO ASK MY WIFE.

NAME OF THE CLINIC, NUMBERS FOR STEVE.

AND ANYONE WHO CAN ACCOUNT FOR YOUR WHEREABOUTS

LAST NIGHT TILL THIS MORNING.

THAT PART OF YOUR NEW METHOD, TOO, HUH?

JUST BLURTING OUT ANYTHING THAT COMES IN YOUR MIND?

BUYING A KID?? THAT'S NOT A SCUMBAG MOVE?

HE WAS BEING COOPERATIVE.

HE'S STILL COOPERATIVE, AND HE KNOW'S HE'S AN ASSHOLE.

I DON'T SEE THE HARM.

WHATEVER YOU THOUGHT WAS BEING KEPT OUT OF YOUR WORK

IS LEAKING IN.

TWO MONTHS AGO, YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE BLURTED OUT "SCUMBAG."

I'VE SEEN YOU DO 10 TIMES WORSE.

NOT WITH A GUY WHO WAS WORKING WITH ME.

OH, IS THAT THE RULE?

YOU LOST YOUR TEMPER 'CAUSE YOU'RE HUNG OVER.

I HAD TWO BEERS.

THEN YOU'RE SLEEP?DEPRIVED 'CAUSE OF THE WHORES.

NO, ANDY, WHORES WAS YOU. I'M PLUCKING OFF SECRETARIES.

IT DON'T MATTER. YES, IT DOES. 'CAUSE IT'S WORSE.

EVERYTHING YOU DID WAS WORSE.

BUT NOW YOU'RE REFORMED, A SAINT,

TELLING ME HOW TO FIX MY LIFE?

YOU'RE A HYPOCRITE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO BE TALKING LIKE THAT.

HOLD HIS HAND. KISS HIS ASS.

WORK HIM HOWEVER YOU WANT.

Jones: GOT SOME INTERESTING INK ON YOU, BELCON.

WHAT'S THAT THERE?? THE DOUBLE LIGHTNING BOLTS?

AREN'T THOSE EARNED FOR

A VIOLENT ACT AGAINST A MINORITY?

AND, UH, S. W. P.

SUPREME WHITE POWER. AM I RIGHT?

WHAT AM I DOING HERE?

WHERE YOU BEEN ALL DAY, LEON?

LOOKING FOR WORK.

I RECALL FINDING YOU IN A BAR.

I LOOKED FOR SCRUB WORK AT THREE CONSTRUCTION SITES,

DELIVERY JOBS AT FOUR TAKE?OUT JOINTS,

UH, BIKE?MESSENGER WORK?? NOBODY'S HIRING.

WHAT'S UP?

YOUR WIFE GOT ROBBED TODAY.

IS SHE ALL RIGHT?

YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT? HELL, NO.

WHO'S JOE HESS?

BEFORE SAYING YOU DON'T KNOW HIM,

WE GOT 15 CALLS BETWEEN YOU TWO.

AND WE KNOW YOU DID JAIL TIME TOGETHER FOR ARMED ROBBERY.

JOE'S A FRIEND OF MINE.

WHY ALL THE CONVERSATIONS?

CATCHING UP.

WHAT, ALONG THE LINES OF, "HEY, JOE,

GUESS WHERE WE CAN GET OUR HANDS ON A DIAMOND RING?"

LORRAINE DOESN'T GOT NO DIAMOND RING.

THE ONE SHE GOT FROM THE SAFE DEPOSIT TO SELL

THAT SHE SAID YOU KNEW ABOUT

AND KNEW SHE KEPT UNDER THE MATTRESS.

LORRAINE WOULDN'T LEAVE A NICKEL

WHERE I COULD FIND IT,

LET ALONE A DIAMOND RING.

WHY SHE PUTTING THIS ON ME?

'CAUSE YOU'RE A LIFER CON SPRUNG ON A TECHNICALITY.

SPRUNG FOR SAVING A C.O. FROM GETTING HANGED,

WHICH HE WAS SECONDS AWAY FROM.

BUT MY POINT BEING, LEON, IT DOESN'T SEEM

LIKE THINGS ARE SO GREAT AT HOME.

YOU GOT NO MONEY, NO JOB.

YOU GOT TO BE IN DEBT TO SOMEONE.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER GETTING ROBBED.

IS THAT WHAT JOE HESS IS GONNA SAY?

OR DOES HE HAVE THE BRAINS TO GET IN FRONT OF THIS?

WE KNOW YOU'RE BROKE

AND THAT YOU KNEW ABOUT THE RING.

I DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT?? NOTHING.

SCREW YOU.

LOVE THAT POSITIVE LIFER ATTITUDE.

McCLINTOCK'S IN A PROCEDURE. THEY'RE GETTING HIM.

[ SIGHS ]

HI, I'M STEVE McCLINTOCK.

DETECTIVES SIPOWICZ AND CLARK.

YOU KNOW A GIRL NAMED TINA MOST? YEAH.

HOW DO YOU KNOW HER?

I VOLUNTEER WEEKENDS DOWN AT THE BOWERY FREE CLINIC.

SHE'S A PATIENT.

MICHAEL COZEN AND HIS WIFE, JULIA??

YOU SET THEM UP WITH TINA?

YOU DON'T WANT THE NOT?SO?FREE CLINIC TO KNOW ABOUT IT?

THE COZENS WERE DESPERATE. SO WAS TINA.

I JUST MADE A PHONE CALL.

OH, AND RIPPED THE COZENS OFF FOR FIVE GRAND.

THE PRENATAL CARE FOR TINA MOST'S KID

THAT SHE SUPPOSEDLY MISCARRIED.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "SUPPOSEDLY"?

AS OF THIS MORNING, TINA WAS STILL PREGNANT.

WELL, THEN SHE LIED. SHE LIED TO ME.

OR YOU'RE RUNNING A SCAM.

OH, NO. I'M NOT EVEN INVOLVED.

ALL I DID WAS PASS ON INFORMATION.

MICHAEL COZEN MAKES YOU MORE OF AN ACTIVE THIRD PARTY.

YEAH, WELL, HE'S WRONG.

A VERY RICH LADY'S ON THE PROCEDURE TABLE

BACK THERE WITH HER LEGS IN THE AIR, SO...

WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?

I'VE REALLY GOT TO GET BACK.

TINA MOST WAS MURDERED, STEVE. WE'RE TALKING "NOW."

GOD, THAT'S AWFUL.

WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT TILL THIS MORNING?

I WAS WITH MY GIRLFRIEND AT HER APARTMENT.

WHO IS SHE? WHERE DO WE FIND HER?

HER NAME'S CARLY LANDES. This is so awful.

LET'S GET YOU TO THE STATION HOUSE.

THAT'S THE BEST PLACE TO ABSORB IT.

UH, YEAH, UM, I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A PROCEDURE.

OKAY, SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE OVER FOR HIM.

LET'S GO.

COPPER?

OVERDOSAGE OF COPPER??

10 TIMES WHAT YOU'D EVER NEED.

WHAT'D YOU PUT IN COPPER FOR? I DIDN'T.

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO TREATS THE TANK.

I'D ONLY USE COPPER IF I SAW UREDINIUM, WHICH I DON'T.

I NEVER HAVE IN THIS TANK. IT WASN'T ME.

ANYBODY TOUCH THE FISH TANK?

JUST DUMPED SOME PENNIES IN.

THESE FISH ARE DYING HERE.

SO, UH, WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT IT?

PARTIAL WATER CLEANSING,

THEN FILTER WITH ACTIVATED CARBON.

BUT, UH, FIRST I GOT TO GET SOME WATER

TO GET THE FISH OUT OF HERE.

WHATEVER YOU GOT TO DO. I'LL COVER IT. IT'S MY DIME.

NO ANSWER AT HOME FROM CARLY LANDES.

McDowell: SHE'S ALSO NOT AT THE WORK NUMBER,

BUT SHE'S A REGISTERED NURSE AT VARIOUS CLINICS.

TODAY, SHE'S AT THE ROSE SINGER INFIRMARY.

AT RIKERS?

THE D. O. A., TINA MOST, DID SIX MONTHS IN RIKERS.

THEY MUST HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER.

SO CARLY LANDES WAS PART OF THIS ADOPTION SCAM?

THAT'S THE QUESTION.

SHE'S SCHEDULED AT THE INFIRMARY IN HALF AN HOUR.

GOOD JOB.

HOW'S SHE WORKING OUT?

WE GOT DIFFERENT APPROACHES.

ADMIT IT. YOU'RE JEALOUS.

OF WHAT?

YEAH, SHE'S MISS CUTE, ALL BUBBLY?? GUYS DIG HER.

SO I SHOULD BE JEALOUS OF THAT?

WE GOT SOMEPLACE TO BE.

YOU WANT TO PARTNER UP WITH HER,

SACK OUT IN YOUR CAR,

STEAM UP THE WINDOWS, BE MY GUEST.

DAMN. WHAT'D I SAY?

WE'RE LEAVING.

TO WHERE?

RIKERS?? TALK TO STEVE McCLINTOCK'S GIRLFRIEND.

AND McCLINTOCK'S STILL DOWN IN THE CELL?

YEAH, LIKE WE TOLD YOU.

AND HOW'S THE GIRLFRIEND FIT IN?

SHE'S THE GIRLFRIEND, HUH? SHE'S BANGING THE GUY.

INSTEAD OF PULLING IN RANDOM PEOPLE,

WE FIGURE SHE MIGHT BE WORTH A CONVERSATION.

DO YOU REMEMBER AN ANNOUNCEMENT I MADE EARLIER

ABOUT BEING KEPT UP TO THE MINUTE?

BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST I HEARD ABOUT A GIRLFRIEND.

I'LL GET YOU UP TO SPEED, BOSS. GREAT.

BUT THE NEXT TIME I HAVE TO ASK, SOMEONE TAKES A RIP.

EVERYONE CLEAR?

HAVE A SEAT, MR. HESS.

FOUND SOME INTERESTING THINGS IN YOUR APARTMENT, JOE.

PHOTOGRAPHS OF ED'S CHECK?CASHING STORE,

NOTES ON THE HOURS OF OPERATION, HOW MANY EMPLOYEES.

YOU GOING INTO THE CHECK?CASHING BUSINESS?

GO TO HELL.

YOU INVOLVED IN THIS WITH LEON BELCON? WHAT'S HE SAYING?

HE GAVE YOU UP FOR CONSIDERATION OVER RIPPING OFF HIS WIFE.

GET US THE RING BACK, YOU COULD GET SOME, TOO.

WHAT THE HELL YOU TALKING ABOUT?

BELCON'S WIFE?? YOU BUSTED IN, TAPED HER UP.

BELCON SAID I ROBBED HIS WIFE?

WE'RE TELLING YOU WHAT WE KNOW.

WELL, YOU GOT YOUR HEAD IN YOUR ASS...CHIMP.

SORRY.

YOU JUST CALL ME A CHIMP?

I GOT NOTHING MORE TO SAY TO YOU GUYS.

I AIN'T EVER SEEN THIS STUFF BEFORE.

I DON'T NOW NOTHING ABOUT LEON BELCON.

I WANT TO SEE MY LAWYER.

I'M GONNA BREAK YOUR RIBS FOR CALLING ME A CHIMP.

EASE UP, MIGHTY JOE.

SEE, THAT BAITING CRAP MIGHT WORK IN THE JOINT

WITH 10 OF YOUR SKINHEAD HOMIES AROUND,

BUT THIS IS THE REAL WORLD, JOE.

IN THE REAL WORLD,

YOU TALK SMACK, THERE'S CONSEQUENCES.

SAME FOR BEATING ON A LADY AND TAKING HER JEWELRY.

I DIDN'T ROB ANYONE.

HE'S LOSING FOCUS.

I'VE BEEN CALLING BELCON FOR TWO MONTHS

TO GO IN ON THE CHECK?CASHING ROBBERY WITH ME,

BUT HE WOULDN'T DO IT.

YOU PAY HIM BACK BY ROBBING HIS WIFE? NO!

YOU NEVER BEEN TO HIS PLACE? NO.

'CAUSE IF WE FIND OUT DIFFERENT,

I'M GONNA BEAT YOU TILL YOU PISS BLOOD.

I SWEAR IT.

I NEVER BEEN THERE...EVER.

Sipowicz: CARLY LANDES?

DETECTIVES CLARK AND SIPOWICZ.

YOU KNOW A TINA MOST?

SHE WAS A PRISONER.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW

ABOUT A BUSINESS ARRANGEMENT THAT SHE HAD WITH STEVE?

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANY BUSINESS ARRANGEMENT,

BUT I KNOW THAT HE WAS HELPING TINA

FIND THE BEST ADOPTIVE FAMILY FOR HER BABY.

YOU KNOW ABOUT HIM SELLING HER CHILD

AND THEN LYING ABOUT A MISCARRIAGE?

STEVEN WOULD NEVER DO THAT.

WELL, SOMEONE DID... TO A FAMILY NAMED COZEN.

WELL, THEN, IT MUST'VE BEEN TINA.

SHE WASN'T ABOVE LYING TO PEOPLE,

AND SHE WAS IN SOME PRETTY BAD DEBT.

TO WHO? DRUG DEALER SHE BURNED.

SHE SAID THAT SHE OWED HIM $20,000.

OR YOU'RE LYING AND THERE'S A SCAM GOING ON.

WHATEVER MONEY STEVEN HAD ACCESS TO FROM THE COZENS

WAS SPENT ON TRW REPORTS, PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS,

AND PRENATAL CARE FOR TINA.

HE KEPT NONE OF THAT MONEY.

HOW'D HE FIND TINA?? THROUGH YOU? NO.

YOU DIDN'T GET A SENSE OF HER IN THE INFIRMARY

AND THEN SET HER UP WITH STEVE?

GET A SENSE OF HER FOR WHAT?

HER WILLINGNESS TO RUN THIS ADOPTION CON

ON DESPERATE YUPPIES.

THERE'S NO CON.

AT LEAST, NOT ONE STEVE AND I KNOW ABOUT.

YEAH, BUT THERE IS AN UNLICENSED ADOPTION SCHEME.

THAT'S AN AWFULLY DIRTY WAY TO DESCRIBE AN EFFICIENT PATH

THROUGH MOUNTAINS OF RED TAPE.

IT'S A COINCIDENCE THAT TINA DID TIME AT RIKERS WHERE YOU WORK.

STEVEN VOLUNTEERS AT A FREE CLINIC.

THE BOWERY FREE CLINIC.

WHICH GIVES EXCELLENT FREE MEDICAL CARE.

I TOLD HER ABOUT IT. THAT'S THE COINCIDENCE.

YOU NEED TO ACCOUNT FOR YOUR WHEREABOUTS

LAST NIGHT TO EARLY THIS MORNING.

AT HOME, WATCHED A MOVIE, WENT TO SLEEP. WHY?

WHERE WAS STEVE LAST NIGHT?

WITH ME. WHY?

THAT'S WHEN TINA MOST WAS MURDERED.

MY GOD.

WE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

I THINK YOU STILL NEED TO COME IN.

NUMBER 3, SAY THE LINE.

SHUT UP, BITCH.

STEP BACK.

NOPE, NOT HIM.

CAN I HEAR THE NEXT ONE?

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

NUMBER 4, SAY THE LINE.

CRIME SCENE GOT A FINGERPRINT HIT

OUT OF LORRAINE STUVAL'S APARTMENT

FOR ANOTHER CON?? LENNY KESSLER.

WHAT'D HE DO TIME FOR?

CAR THEFT AND PHONY PRESCRIPTIONS.

HE ALSO TOOK A COLLAR FOR INDECENT EXPOSURE,

SO?? A DIVERSE CAREER.

I'LL RUN THE NAME BY HER.

MEANTIME, WE GOT HIS ADDRESS. GRAB HIM UP?

HE'S ALL YOURS. THANKS.

OH, LAY OFF THE TWINKIES, PAL. YOU'RE GOING SOFT.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I WAS JUST BEING FRIENDLY.

SEE, BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

HE DOESN'T SEEM THE TYPE TO TAKE IT WRONG.

SOMEONE'S BOUND TO.

SO YOUR ADVICE IS DON'T BE FRIENDLY?

WHAT YOU'RE DOING COULD BE MISINTERPRETED.

I'D RATHER BE MISINTERPRETED

THEN WALK AROUND WITH A STICK UP MY ASS.

WELL, NOW YOU'RE JUST BEING RUDE.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS.

Kessler: NOW KISS HER AND TOUCH HER ARMS AND THIGHS.

DON'T BE SHY.

LENNY KESSLER?

POLICE?? WE HEARD YOU IN THERE. OPEN THE DOOR.

I'M PLANNING ON TAKING THE DOOR. THAT WORK FOR YOU?

FINE.

NOBODY MOVE!

THESE ARE FRIENDS OF MINE. LADIES, ON THE BED.

NO MONEY'S CHANGED HANDS.

BETTER SOON.

EXPENSIVE PARTY, LENNY. WHERE'D YOU GET THE CASH?

MY AUNT DIED. AND THAT'S THE HOOKERS' BLOW.

LIE!

I'D LIKE A GOOD EXPLANATION WHY YOU BURST IN HERE.

AT THE STATION HOUSE.

AS MUCH AS YOU MIGHT LIKE IT, WE'RE NOT TAKING YOU NAKED.

PUT YOUR PANTS ON.

SON OF A BITCH.

ANOTHER ONE?

THEY'RE DROPPING LIKE FLIES.

NOW WAY IT'S AN ACCIDENT?? ALL THAT COPPER.

I CAN'T SEE HOW.

TERRORISM.

IT'S NOT FUNNY, MAN.

THIS IS TOWARDS ME??

THE DEAD RAT, VANDALIZING THE CAR, NOW THIS.

ANY CANDIDATES?

[ SCOFFS ]

SOMEONE RECENT WITH ACCESS TO THE SQUAD.

FRAKER? PAT FRAKER?

A FRIEND OF YOURS? I JUST KNOW OF HIM.

AND THAT RITA ORTIZ PUT A BULLET IN HIS BACK.

A BULLET SO HE DIDN'T MURDER YOUR PREDECESSOR.

THERE'S A FEW TAKES ON THAT.

ANYWAY, HE'S PRETTY MUCH DISAPPEARED,

SO I DON'T SEE HIM POISONING YOUR FISH TANK.

WHO ABOUT STAN HATCHER? THAT DIDN'T GO WELL.

YOU GOT INTEL ON HIM, TOO?

ALL I KNOW ABOUT STAN HATCHER IS HE TRANSFERRED IN HERE

AND THEN RETIRED ABRUPTLY.

A LITTLE BUSINESS??

I JUST TOOK A PHONE CALL FROM A WOMAN NAMED PAULINE WEIKEL.

SHE'S HOME. GOOD.

IS IT OKAY IF WE GO PICK HER UP?

NO, I DIDN'T KNOW WHO SHE WAS, AND THAT CAME ACROSS.

WELL, WE'LL BE SURE TO TELL HER YOU'RE THE GUY IN CHARGE.

WELL, BOSS, WE FOUND PAULINE WEIKEL

OFF SOME RESEARCH INTO STEVE McCLINTOCK'S BANK RECORDS.

HE WROTE HER FOUR CHECKS

FOR OVER $2,000 IN THE LAST YEAR.

AND SHE DID 12 WEEKS IN RIKERS DURING HER PREGNANCY.

SO YOU'RE THINKING McCLINTOCK'S

BEEN RUNNING THIS ADOPTION SCAM WITH OTHER WOMEN?

THAT'S HOW WE'RE GOING AT HER.

WERE YOU AWARE OF THIS RESEARCH?

JUST WHAT I OVERHEARD.

THEN IT'S ONLY YOU AND CLARK TAKING A ONE?DAY RIP.

YOU GOT TO BE JOKING.

DID I MAKE A SPECIFIC ANNOUNCEMENT

ABOUT BEING KEPT INFORMED?

DID I MAKE A SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT WITH THE WARNING

THAT IF I WASN'T INFORMED, THERE'D BE DISCIPLINE?

THINGS MOVE FAST. IT'S A WASTE OF TIME??

TO KEEP THE BOSS INFORMED

SO THAT HE CAN PROPERLY HANDLE PHONE CALLS

FROM SUSPECTS OR INTERVIEWEES?

OR FROM THE BRASS?

OR FROM THE CHIEF OF "D's" OR ONE P. P.?

YOU THINK IT'S A WASTE OF TIME? I DON'T.

A ONE?DAY RIP OR WE'LL GO TO THE TRIAL ROOM.

I, UH, KNOW THIS IS A BAD TIME HERE, DETECTIVE,

BUT, UH, THE CLOWN LOACH IS BELLY?UP.

[ SIGHS ] HE MADE US LAUGH.

THAT'S ENOUGH BEING A WISE ASS. YOU HEAR ME?

SO YOU'RE CLEAR AT THE OUTSET, LENNY??

THE COKE, THE WHORES, AND THE STOLEN RING

PUTS YOU AT A DISADVANTAGE.

LIKE, JUST WALKING IN, YOU'RE A COLLAR.

YOU WANT TO WORK OFF THE COKE AND PROSS?

WHERE'D YOU GET THE RING?

IT WAS GIVEN TO ME.

LORRAINE STUVAL GAVE IT TO YOU? YEAH.

PAYMENT FOR TYING HER UP

AND BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF HER?

NO, SHE GAVE ME $300 FOR THAT.

THE RING WAS GONNA BE RETURNED.

WHY WOULD SHE PAY YOU FOR BEATING HER FACE IN?

I DON'T KNOW. INSURANCE FRAUD, MAYBE?

YOU DIDN'T ASK WHY?

LORRAINE'S NOT THE KIND OF WOMAN YOU QUESTION.

BECAUSE?

SHE'S A BATTLE?AX. SHE LIKES PUSHING ME AROUND.

SO, YOU WERE BANGING HER?

SO, YOU'D DO ANYTHING SHE SAID?

AH, MAYBE I LIKE BEING PUSHED AROUND.

[ LAUGHS ]

STILL, I DON'T KNOW WHY SHE WANTED TO STAGE A ROBBERY.

WELL, YOU'RE GONNA NEED TO MAKE SOME EDUCATED GUESSES

OR YOU'RE ON THE HOOK FOR ROBBERY AND ASSAULT.

SHE'S BEEN MISERABLE SINCE THIS HUSBAND SHOWED UP.

SHE CALLED, NEEDED ME FOR THIS. THAT'S ALL I KNOW.

SHE TRYING TO FRAME HER HUSBAND FOR IT? I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW, LENNY?

'CAUSE WE'RE GETTING FRUSTRATED.

SHE LIKES CONVICTS.

SHE MARRIED THIS GUY THINKING HE'D SPEND

THE REST OF HIS LIFE IN JAIL,

AND THEN WHEN HE GOT OUT, SHE WANTED NO PART OF HIM.

WHY NOT?

ALL SHE'D SAY IS, UM,

"HE'S INSTITUTIONALIZED. HE'S INSTITUTIONALIZED."

MEANING WHAT? I DON'T KNOW.

I SWEAR, I DON'T KNOW.

YOUR SCHEDULE CLEAR?

'CAUSE YOU'RE GONNA BE HERE FOR A WHILE.

Sipowicz: HAVE A SEAT, MS. WEIKEL.

Clark: YOU KNOW STEVEN McCLINTOCK? SORRY.

HE WROTE YOU FOUR CHECKS FOR OVER 2 GRAND,

AND YOU DON'T KNOW HIM?

[ Sighing ] OH, YEAH, THAT STEVE.

WHAT WAS THE MONEY FOR?

STEREO EQUIPMENT.

YOU DENIED KNOWING HIM OVER STEREO EQUIPMENT?

IT WAS MY EX?BOYFRIEND'S,

WHO MAY HAVE ACQUIRED IT ILLEGALLY.

YOU EVER BEEN IN JAIL?

[ SIGHS ] THERE MONTHS IN RIKERS.

YOU WERE PREGNANT AT THE TIME? YEAH.

YOU GOT THE KID NOW? YEAH.

YOU WANT TO KEEP IT. OH, GOD.

HOW'D YOU EARN THE MONEY FROM HIM?

IS STEVE GONNA KNOW THAT I TALKED TO YOU? HE MIGHT.

THAT'S REASSURING.

WOULD YOU FEEL COZIER IN JAIL?

'CAUSE YOU STILL OWE FOUR MONTHS.

I MIGHT BE SAFER.

HE THREATEN YOU?

YOU WERE PART OF HIS ADOPTION SCAM.

POSING AS A TROUBLED SINGLE MOM

WHO JUST WANTS HER BABY IN A GOOD HOME.

HOW MANY COUPLES YOU BILK?

FOUR, 500 APIECE BY CHECK.

TWO OF THEM BOUNCED.

HOW'D YOU HOOK UP WITH HIM?

HIS GIRLFRIEND IN THE RIKERS INFIRMARY

STEERED ME TO A FREE CLINIC FOR WHEN I GOT OUT.

BOWERY FREE CLINIC.

STEVE APPROACHED ME THERE,

ASKING DID I WANT TO MAKE SOME EASY CASH.

WHY'D HE THREATEN YOU?

SAYING OVER AND OVER THAT I MISCARRIED

WAS MAKING ME CRY A LOT,

AND WHAT I WAS DOING TO THESE COUPLES

WAS MAKING MY SOUL FEEL ROTTEN,

WHICH I DID NOT WANT TO PASS ON TO MY BABY.

SO I THREATENED TO COP TO THE SCAM

WITH THE LAST COUPLE I WORKED.

STEVE SAID IF I DID, HE'D SHOOT ME IN THE HEAD

AND DUMP MY BODY IN THE RIVER.

AND THEN HE SLAMMED ME AGAINST THE WALL,

AND I NEARLY DID MISCARRY.

DO I REALLY NEED TO BE A PART OF THIS?

I JUST WANT TO RAISE MY BOY.

BEAT IT.

Sipowicz: PAULINE WEIKEL?? YOU KNOW HER?

YES. HOW?

SHE'S A VERY INDECISIVE WOMAN

I MET AT THE BOWERY FREE CLINIC.

SHE APPROACHED ME ABOUT PUTTING HER CHILD UP FOR ADOPTION.

WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO ACTUALLY COMMITTING TO IT,

SHE'D BACK OUT.

HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THE 2 GRAND YOU PAID HER?

FOUR SEPARATE TIMES I FOUND FAMILIES

LIKE THE COZENS THAT PAULINE AGREED

WOULD BE PERFECT CANDIDATES TO ADOPT HER CHILD.

FOUR SEPARATE TIMES I WAS SUPPLIED WITH MONEY

FOR BACKGROUND WORK, PRENATAL CARE.

EACH TIME, PAULINE ASKED ME TO FRONT HER $500 FOR EXPENSES.

THEN SHE'D BACK OUT OF THE ADOPTION.

AND YOU KEPT THE 20 GRAND.

I RETURNED ALL MONIES TO ALL FAMILIES

EXCEPT FOR THE 2 GRAND I LOST TO PAULINE.

WHY'D YOU THREATEN HER? I NEVER DID.

NEVER PUT HER INTO A WALL?

SHE SAID THAT?

YOU'RE RUNNING A CON, AND YOU REACT BAD

WHEN THE GIRLS GET HINKY ABOUT IT.

WE KNOW THIS.

DID TINA MOST GET A CONSCIENCE, AND YOU REACTED?

ALL I EVER DID WITH TINA WAS TRY TO HELP HER.

HELP HER SELL A CHILD?

IS THAT GONNA BE YOUR DEFENSE?

'CAUSE THEY GOT A TERM FOR THAT?? "WHITE SLAVERY."

WELL, YOU CAN CALL IT WHATEVER YOU WANT.

I HELP PEOPLE. I DON'T CON THEM.

STEVE, BEFORE WE LOSE ANY DESIRE TO WORK WITH YOU,

YOU GOT A CHANCE TO TELL US WHAT HAPPENED WITH TINA.

ARE YOU AWARE THAT SHE OWED MONEY TO A DRUG DEALER?

DID YOU LOSE YOUR TEMPER WITH HER LAST NIGHT?

I WAS WITH CARLY LANDES LAST NIGHT, REMEMBER?

DO YOU WANT ANY DEGREE OF SYMPATHY WITH A JUDGE OR JURY?

I AIDED DISTRAUGHT FAMILIES WHO CAN'T CONCEIVE OR ADOPT.

I THINK I'LL BE FINE.

GET UP.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

PAULINE WEIKEL SAID SHE RAN

THE ADOPTION?MISCARRIAGE SCAM WITH STEVE McCLINTOCK.

McCLINTOCK'S DENYING IT.

SO YOU SPOKE TO McCLINTOCK AGAIN?

WE DID.

SHOULDN'T I HAVE KNOWN?

I PLAN TO TAKE A CRAP LATER. YOU WANT UPDATES ON THAT, TOO?

YOU'RE CREEPING UP ON INSUBORDINATION.

WHICH I'M GUESSING YOU'D LOVE??

ANY EXCUSE TO GRIND THE HEEL IN.

WHAT'S SO TOUGH ABOUT UPDATING ME ON CASES?

WE GOT A SYSTEM HERE. IT'S CHANGED.

AND YOU BETTER CHANGE OR YOU BETTER LEAVE.

WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP?

McCLINTOCK'S GIRLFRIEND, CARLY LANDES,

SAID HE WAS WITH HER ALL NIGHT.

WE GOT HER UPSTAIRS, SEE IF SHE COMES OFF IT.

GET TO IT.

WHAT?

NO SURVIVORS.

SORRY.

ANDY...

BALDWIN LEFT THIS FOR YOU.

IT'S WHERE STAN HATCHER'S WORKING NOW.

GET CARLY LANDES A SODA. I'M TAKING SOME LOST TIME.

SHOULDN'T YOU CLEAR IT WITH LIEUTENANT BALE FIRST?

I'M BETTING HE'S A STICKLER ABOUT THIS KIND OF THING.

HE WANTS ME, I'M ON THE RADIO.

Sipowicz: HATCHER.

WHAT DO YOU WANT? GOT A MINUTE?

SURE DON'T, BUT LET'S CATCH A METS GAME.

A CLIENT LETS ME USE HIS DIAMOND?VIEW SUITE.

I'LL CALL YOU.

YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT YOUR HANDS ON ME, SIPOWICZ.

YOU BEEN BY THE 15th LATELY? NO.

THERE'S SOMEONE LEAVING ANONYMOUS MESSAGES. NOT ME.

IF IT WAS, THOUGH,

NOW WOULD BE THE TIME TO GIVE IT A REST...

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

...BEFORE FOLKS START REALLY TAKING OFFENSE.

ARE YOU GETTING TOYED WITH?

SOMEONE'S BEEN COMING BY WHO FORGOT THEIR MANNERS.

IF IT'S YOU, THIS IS YOUR REMINDER.

[ LAUGHS ] THIS IS FANTASTIC.

I LOVE THIS.

THE GREAT ASSHOLE TASTES SOME KARMA.

ALL RIGHT, THERE YOU GO.

HAVE YOUR LAUGH. BUT YOU ONLY GET THE ONE.

NO, NO, I'LL BE LAUGHING ABOUT THIS ALL NIGHT.

YOU'RE DONE NOW OR I'LL BE BACK.

I WISH TO HELL IT WAS ME, SIPOWICZ.

BUT IT'S NOT?? SORRY.

NOW, IF YOU DON'T MIND,

I HAVE MY PROSPEROUS LIFE TO GET BACK TO??

CIGARS TO SMOKE, COGNAC TO SIP.

MY BEST TO THE SQUAD.

LENNY KESSLER ADMITTED TO DOING THE ROBBERY.

WHAT? WELL, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

HE'S WRITING UP A STATEMENT NOW.

AND HE BROUGHT UP A FEW THINGS THAT WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT.

MAINLY YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR HUSBAND, LEON.

Jones: MAYBE THE TRANSITION YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER

WAS A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT THAN YOU MADE OUT.

IT'S DEFINITELY BEEN TRYING.

YOU EVER WISH HE NEVER GOT OUT OF JAIL?

THAT'S A TERRIBLE THING TO SAY.

BUT, APPARENTLY, YOU DID SAY IT

TO MORE THAN ONE OF YOUR CO?WORKERS.

WHY HAVE YOU BEEN TALKING TO MY CO?WORKERS?

Jones: IT MUST HAVE BEEN A REAL SHOCK HEARING YOUR HUSBAND

WAS GETTING OUT OF JAIL.

Medavoy: AND A GUY LIKE LEON WITH 15 YEARS UNDER HIS BELT,

WHO NEVER EXPECTED TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY,

HE'S GONNA HAVE A FEW JAILHOUSE QUIRKS.

Jones: JOINT MENTALITY?? CAN'T GET WORK.

TECHNOLOGY FREAK?OUTS.

I BET THE GUY NEVER SEEN A CELL PHONE BEFORE.

THAT'S MORE THAN "TRYING." AM I RIGHT?

WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME THESE QUESTIONS?

LENNY KESSLER SAID YOU PLANNED THE ROBBERY. PLANNED THIS?

Medavoy: IF YOU GOT FED UP WITH YOUR LIVING ARRANGEMENT,

AND YOU DID SOMETHING FOOLISH TO CHANGE IT,

WE NEED TO KNOW RIGHT NOW.

I WAS ROBBED AND BEATEN.

WHICH LENNY KESSLER, YOUR FRIEND, IS A COLLAR FOR

AND WILL GO TO JAIL FOR UNLESS YOU SAY DIFFERENT.

YOU SHOULD BE TALKING TO LEON.

NO. LEON'S OUT OF THIS.

AND IF YOU TAKE IT ANY FURTHER,

WE WILL BE TALKING TO THE D. A.

ABOUT HOW YOU TRIED TO GET LEON THROWN BACK IN JAIL

FOR SOMETHING HE DIDN'T DO.

AND YOU WILL BE CHARGED ACCORDINGLY.

SINCE WHEN DOES A LIFE SENTENCE WITHOUT PAROLE

MEAN 15 YEARS?

HE SAVED A GUY'S LIFE.

HE'S TOTALLY INSTITUTIONALIZED.

HOW?

WELL, HE SHOVELS FOOD IN HIS FACE.

HE SCREAMS IN HIS SLEEP.

READS AND WATCHES NOTHING BUT PORNO.

HE'S ONLY BEEN OUT A LITTLE WHILE.

HOW MANY MONTHS OF GETTING DRILLED IN THE CAN

COULD YOU TAKE BEFORE PULLING THE PLUG?

I LIKE MEN WHO ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR COMPANY.

THEY'RE ROUGH ON THE OUTSIDE, SOFT ON THE INSIDE.

THEY CARE THAT YOU MADE THE TRIP

TO SEE THEM AND WRITE THEM LETTERS,

SO THEY TREAT YOU GENTLY.

THEY AREN'T TERRIFIED OF HONKING CAR HORNS

OR ALWAYS ASKING PERMISSION TO LEAVE A ROOM.

LEON WAS FINE IN THE PEN. OUTSIDE HE'S USELESS.

HE BELONGS IN JAIL.

NOT YOUR DECISION.

SO, WHAT'S GOING ON?

TINA MOST A DECENT GIRL?

SHE SEEMED LIKE IT.

WHAT WAS HER ATTITUDE

ABOUT PULLING THIS ADOPTION SCAM ON RICH FOLKS?

THERE'S NO SCAM.

THE OTHER WOMEN WILL TESTIFY THERE WAS.

I'M SORRY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOMEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WE TALKED TO PAULINE WEIKEL,

AND WE'RE LOOKING AT THE OTHER GIRLS

THAT YOU STEERED FROM THE RIKERS INFIRMARY

TO THE BOWERY FREE CLINIC.

RELIABLE MEDICAL CARE WAS THE ONLY THING

THAT I STEERED THEM TOWARDS.

AND YOU KNEW NOTHING PAST THAT? NOTHING.

THEN WHY DID YOU LIE ABOUT BEING HOME ALL NIGHT WITH STEVE?

I DIDN'T. NO?

HIS CREDIT CARD WAS USED

LATE LAST NIGHT AT A MARKET DOWNTOWN.

THE CLERK I. D.'d HIS PHOTO.

OH, GOD. IS THAT TINA?

EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT AND STRANGLED TO DEATH.

IF TINA WAS DECENT, DO YOU THINK

SHE MIGHT HAVE GOT A CONSCIENCE ABOUT RUNNING THESE SCAMS?

NO, LISTEN. I SWEAR TO YOU.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ANY SCAM.

STEVE THREATENED TO KILL PAULINE IF SHE GOT A CONSCIENCE.

HE SAID HE'D PUT A GUN TO HER HEAD,

BLOW HER BRAINS OUT, AND DUMP HER IN THE RIVER.

OH, MY GOD.

LOOK AT THIS GIRL.

DID SHE DESERVE TO DIE LIKE THIS?

THEN WHY ARE YOU LYING FOR THE GUY WHO DID IT?

HE THREATEN YOU?

WHEN?

[ Voice breaking ] FIRST TIME WAS A WHILE AGO.

UM, I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING IN HIS DRAWER ONCE,

AND I FOUND A GUN, AND THEN HE PUT IT TO MY HEAD.

WHAT DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS SCAM?

NOTHING! I SWEAR!

BUT I DID KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING

A LITTLE BIT OFF ABOUT THOSE ADOPTIONS.

WAS HE WITH YOU ALL NIGHT?

WHEN DID HE COME HOME?

HE CAME HOME LATE. HE WAS FRANTIC.

HE SAID THAT SOMETHING BAD HAD HAPPENED WITH TINA,

AND THAT IF I SAID ANYTHING, IF ANYONE ASKED,

THAT HE HAD BEEN HOME ALL NIGHT LONG.

IF I SAID ANYTHING DIFFERENT, HE WOULD KILL ME.

HE HAD HIS HAND ON MY THROAT.

[ CRYING ]

Sipowicz: WHAT'D YOU BUY AT THE CANAL STREET MARKET

AT 2:00 IN THE MORNING LAST NIGHT?

I WAS HOME ALL NIGHT.

WE GOT YOU I. D.'d AT THE MARKET. WHAT DID YOU BUY?

I DIDN'T GO TO ANY MARKET.

HEAVY?DUTY GARBAGE BAGS AND ROPE.

THAT'S WHAT THE CLERK SAID.

I WAS HOME ALL NIGHT WITH MY GIRLFRIEND.

YOU CAME HOME AGITATED AND THREATENED TO KILL HER

IF SHE DIDN'T BACK YOU UP. NOT TRUE.

YOU'RE A HALF?ASS CON MAN, STEVE.

YOU BARELY COVERED YOUR TRACKS.

AND THE WORST THING YOU COULD DO NOW IS KEEP DENYING THIS

AND GO TO TRIAL WITHOUT AN ANGLE.

TINA GOT A HEART, THREATENED TO EXPOSE YOUR SCAM,

YOU STRANGLED HER?? SPUR?OF?THE?MOMENT.

OR SIT BEHIND THAT DEFENSE TABLE

WITH YOUR BLOWN?APART ALIBI AND YOUR TED BUNDY LOOKS

AND WATCH THE HORROR CREEP OVER THE FACES OF YOUR JURORS

WHEN THEY SEE BIG, BLOWN?UP PHOTOS

OF HOW YOU STRANGLED TINA MOST, EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT,

AND LEFT HER LIKE GARBAGE IN A DUMPSTER.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL EVIDENCE TYING ME TO HER DEATH?

STEVE, SLICK ISN'T WORKING ANYMORE.

REALIZE WE'RE TRYING TO HELP YOU HERE.

SO THAT'S A NO? LAST CHANCE.

I GOT NOTHING TO SAY.

YOU'RE A COLLAR FOR GRAND LARCENY CON GAME,

UNLAWFUL ADOPTIONS, AND MURDER.

AND YOU'RE A SCUMBAG.

THAT'S WHEN IT'S APPROPRIATE.

Medavoy: YOU'RE FREE TO GO.

ALL RIGHT.

WHAT ABOUT THE ROBBERY?

YOUR WIFE STAGED IT.

SHE WANTED YOU LOCKED UP AGAIN.

WHY? SHE WASN'T TOO HIP ON YOU

COMING HOME IN THE FIRST PLACE.

OHH.

SHE DIDN'T GIVE ME MUCH OF A CHANCE, YOU KNOW?

YOU LIKE BEING DOWN HERE, LEON?

DID YOU NOT HEAR? YOU'RE FREE TO GO.

CAN I JUST GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT HERE?

INSIDE, I DID WHAT I HAD TO TO STAY ALIVE.

WE TALKING THE NAZI STUFF?

I WAS 18 WHEN I WENT IN.

I HAD LONG HAIR AND A BABY FACE.

I?I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH CHOICE.

DID SOMEONE ALSO FORCE YOU

INTO ROBBING THAT CONVENIENCE STORE?

EXIT THAT WAY.

LORRAINE GONNA LET ME

LIVE IN THE APARTMENT TILL SHE'S OUT?

DON'T COUNT ON IT.

GREAT. I'M ON THE STREET.

I'M CRYING.

YOU DID NICE WORK WITH KESSLER. YOU RAN THE ROOM.

THANKS.

I HAD A PARTNER ONCE?? JOE TUTTLE.

HE WAS REAL AGGRESSIVE AND EXTROVERTED,

EVERYONE'S PAL.

AND I NEARLY LEFT NARCOTICS 'CAUSE OF HIM.

IT JUST WASN'T MY STYLE. YOU QUIT PARTNERING?

WE STUCK IT OUT, AND, UH, WE WERE NEVER GREAT FRIENDS,

BUT I LEARNED FROM HIM.

AND I LIKE TO THINK HE LEARNED FROM ME.

LISTEN, I APPRECIATE YOU COMING TO TALK.

AND JUST SO I SAID IT, I GOT NO AGENDA.

I'M JUST HERE TO WORK.

'NIGHT.

'NIGHT.

I SIGNED IT AND PUT DOWN ALL MY CONTACT INFORMATION.

GOOD. THEN WE'RE DONE FOR NOW.

[ SIGHS ]

I THINK IT'S JUST DAWNING ON ME HOW SHAKEN UP I AM.

IS THERE, UM, ANY CHANCE

THAT YOU COULD GIVE ME A RIDE HOME?

[ SIGHS ]

YOU MIND, UH, TAKING STEVE TO CENTRAL BOOKING?

THANK YOU.

I LEFT MY THINGS IN THE BACK.

THAT'S ONE YOU DROP OFF AND SPEED AWAY FROM.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

[ SIGHS ] SHE'S MORE INVOLVED THAN SHE'S SAYING.

WE JUST GOT NOW WAY TO PROVE IT RIGHT NOW.

SO MY ADVICE?? DROP HER OFF AND SPEED AWAY.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S SCREWED?

EITHER YOU REALLY THINK I NEED THAT ADVICE

OR THIS IS ANOTHER CASE OF YOUR PAST GETTING DROPPED ON ME.

LOOK, I BANGED PLENTY OF WHORES,

BUT NEVER SOMEONE INVOLVED IN A CASE.

I WOULDN'T DO THAT. NO ONE DOES.

I'M JUST GIVING HER A RIDE HOME.

GOOD.

[ SIGHS ]

[ DOOR BANGS ]

EMPTY.

THANKS.

DRIVING OVER HERE,

I HAD THIS TERRIFYING FEELING HE WAS HERE.

SURE.

I KNOW IT'S IRRATIONAL.

NO, YOU HAD A HELL OF A DAY.

I JUST WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING

THAT I COULD HAVE DONE TO SAVE TINA.

YOU'RE DOING WHAT YOU CAN

SO THAT STEVE CAN'T HURT ANYONE ELSE.

I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.

I SHOULD HEAD OUT.

WANT A BEER OR SOMETHING?

NO. NO, THANKS.

PLEASE STAY FOR A MINUTE.

I... I'M FEELING A LITTLE BIT DIZZY.

YOU SICK?

UGH, I FEEL LIKE I FELL OFF A CLIFF.

IT'S LIKE MY WHOLE LIFE GOT CHURNED UP.

IT MIGHT NOT BE MUCH COMFORT, BUT YOU'RE BETTER OFF.

I KNOW.

I'M SORRY.

I'M SCARED TO BE ALONE RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, ANY SECOND HE'LL WALK THROUGH THAT DOOR.

THAT'S HOW I FEEL.

NO, THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

HE'S IN JAIL, AND HE'S NOT GONNA COME OUT.

I still can't stop shaking.

MAYBE I'LL STICK AROUND FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

I HOPE YOU DON'T THINK

I'M ACTIVELY SEEKING OUT A WAR WITH YOU.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT I HONESTLY THINK?

SHOOT.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

YOU'RE NICKEL?AND?DIMING THIS SQUAD TO DEATH.

SO THE SQUAD HAS NO ROOM TO IMPROVE?

I DON'T THINK SO.

BUT IF YOU DO, TRY SOMETHING

PAST FOLLOWING YOUR BOSS HANDBOOK

LIKE IT WAS SCRIPTURE.

WHEN I KNOW THE STATUS OF CASES,

AND THE WHEREABOUTS OF MY DETECTIVES TO THE MINUTE,

I'LL BACK OFF.

UNTIL THEN, IF I'M UNINFORMED, IT'S A RIP.

WHEN THERE'S INSUBORDINATION, IT'S A RIP.

AND WHEN ONE OF MY DETECTIVES TAKES LOST TIME

WITHOUT MY CONSENT?? MY CONSENT?? NOT THE P. A. A.,

IT'S A RIP.

HOW MANY DAYS I GET FOR THAT?

TWO. LIKE I SAID, GET ALONG OR??

I HEAR YOU.
