I... I need to see Detective Kelly.

He's busy right now, Lou.
Take a seat over there.

- Uh, can you cuff me to the bench?
- The CO doesn't want anyone

unnecessarily restrained in public areas.

- LOU: Unnecessarily?
- I don't wanna hear it, Lou.

Hey, you don't wanna see it either,
I'm telling you.

You wanna see a werewolf in a blood rage?

Take a seat now!

I'm doing this for your own good,
Sergeant, I'm telling ya.

One minute we could be standing here,
talking to each other very nicely,

next thing you're gonna be on your back,
looking at me

- with your windpipe in my fangs.
- SERGEANT: I'm a cop, Lou.

I'm paid to live with danger.

I'm telling ya.

I'm a werewolf. I gotta be locked up
by five o'clock tonight, or else...

Lou! Sit! Sit!

- Sit.
- (PANTS)

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

- MALE VOICE: Hello, 15.
- (LOU PANTS)

(GASPS)

(CLEARS THROAT)

Detective Kelly!

Lou!

- (TELEPHONE RINGING)
- (SIGHS)

KELLY: I can probably get you
a couple hours, Lou,

but I can't guarantee
you're gonna be alone.

Come on, I can't be incarcerated
in a group situation.

- It would be like a smorgasbord for me.
- It's the best I can do, Lou.

Bellevue Hospital has got a whole wing
of padded kennels, Lou.

You oughta give them a howl.
They'll lock you down tonight.

You think I'm crazy? I'm not crazy.

- I am a werewolf.
- But you could be a crazy werewolf, Lou.

I mean, I hear a lot of them are nuts.
You oughta have it checked out.

I come here to try to protect society,
and you're seeking to humiliate me?

KELLY: Lou, nobody's trying
to humiliate you.

We're just getting a lot of heat
from our bosses

about these protective lockups.

- Try the hospital.
- I feel anger.

- I feel anger!
- Well, you'll get over it, Louie.

- (HISSES)
- (TELEPHONE RINGING)

I better get outta here before I commit
an unspeakable outrage.

SIPOWICZ: Yeah, okay, Lou.
Anything you say.

MALE VOICE: I don't wanna take you away
from all the fun you're having there.

SIPOWICZ: What do you got?

MALE VOICE: Yeah, but, uh, you wanna check
the report, see if it's right?

- (KELLY CLEARS THROAT)
- Huh?

- Go ahead.
- Sure.

Hey, Andy.

You busy? Can I speak to you
for a minute?

SIPOWICZ: Yeah, sure.

Remember my partner, John Kelly?

- Yeah.
- Hey, kid. Nice to see you again.

ANDY: How you doin'?

Want some, uh, coffee or a soda?

No, thanks.

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (SIGHS)

It's been a while, huh?

You look good.

I keep meaning to...
to get over to Jersey.

How's your mother?

She's okay. How you doin'?

I'm good. I'm... I'm fine.

Wanna sit down?

Nah, that's okay.

I came to tell you that I've been seeing
this girl for three months,

and it's pretty serious. (CHUCKLES)
I mean, we're getting married.

- (CHUCKLES)
- ANDY: You're still my father.

I figured you might wanna know.

Yeah, sure I wanna know.
You're 18 years old.

- (TELEPHONE RINGING)
- So, uh, tell me about the girl.

- Uh, how old is she?
- Twenty.

So, what does she do,
this, uh, this 20-year-old?

She sells sports cars.

Checkered Flag Motor Cars in Fort Lee.

(CHUCKLES) See, I'm... I'm...
I'm trying to figure out

what makes this...
this car saleswoman different.

Why, uh, why you wanna drag the state,

and the church into things
all of a sudden?

I'd like to borrow 700 bucks.
I can pay you back 40 a week.

(SIGHS) You know, Andy...

when a girl gets knocked up,
a man's first impulse

- might be to...
- Look. Forget about the 700 bucks.

I'll forget about feeding the guests
at my wedding.

And, uh, as far as fatherhood...

I don't wanna hear what you think.

Hey, Andy. I'm trying to look out for you.

Don't!

You haven't got the right.
I haven't seen you for three years.

Where you hiding
your liquor bottles these days?

You know, I was 12 before I realized...

that wasn't what the saddlebags
on my bike were for.

I stopped drinkin'.

Maybe you should go back to it.
That's something you only get better at.

Hey, hey, Andy. Hey, Andy! An... Andy!

Andy! Andy, listen to me. Come here.
Listen to me now.

You know, everybody's life
has twists and tensions,

so don't you assume that you know
all the answers, all right?

Don't assume that you ever will.

Are you gonna charge me,
or you gonna let me go?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(THEME MUSIC CONCLUDES)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Let me get out in front on this
so nobody gets overexcited, okay?

I betcha every guy in Jersey's
banged this girl.

Let's wait till we know
before you jump to the answers.

I'd rather find out how mistaken I've been
and get overjoyed.

- You gonna let me work on this?
- Three reasons why I should.

- One, two, three.
- Good morning, gentlemen.

- How you doing?
- Can I be of assistance,

or are you "lookie-loos?"

- We wanna see your manager.
- Could I tell him what it's about?

- Do you know what it's about?
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

You can find Mr. Stipley in there.

FEMALE VOICE:
You have the invoice number, sir?

Thanks.

KELLY: Mr. Stipley. Detective Kelly.
Detective Sipowicz.

Oh, New York City police.
Sit down, detectives. Sit down.

And, uh, feel free
to be completely candid.

(CHUCKLES) I'm a Lieutenant
with the Paramus PD Reserves.

Well, that'll, uh,
make things much easier then.

Lieutenant, what I'm about
to tell you is confidential.

I understand.

In the course of a criminal investigation,

our, uh, phone surveillance monitors
picked up a call from your switchboard.

It was a young woman,
and based on the substance of the call...

we got the impression that
this young woman and the man she called...

This other person
being the one you're interested in.

- ...that these two were sexually involved.
- STIPLEY: Oh.

So, uh, you're looking to ascertain
the identity of, uh, the female caller,

with an eye to developing her
as a potential corroborating witness.

- Am I right?
- Well, I can't confirm or deny, but, uh,

do you have any idea
who might have made the call?

Well, it can't be Ellen. She hates men,
and her tits point to China.

Uh, so it's gotta be Patty Constance.

KELLY: Uh, do you consider her
to be relatively attractive,

early twenties?

STIPLEY: Yeah, she's around 20, all right.

Or she's around 30,
depending how you look at it.

Uh, that's her. Second from the right.

You might have seen her when you came in.
Uh, she's on a test-drive now.

- KELLY: Is she married?
- No. She's got plans.

Uh, some poor dumb teenager I hear.

You know, uh,
she's one of my best salespeople

and I don't wanna be judgmental, but, man,

uh, you got the missile,
she's got the silo.

Kevin says she screws the head off
and goes to work on the wires.

- Kevin?
- Yeah, salesman you met.

- Married guy. Patty's seeing him too.
- (TELEPHONE RINGING)

- Besides the teenager?
- (PAGER BEEPING)

- You got a phone I can use?
- STIPLEY: Yeah, uh,

right around the corner.

Why's a number like her wanna marry a kid?

You want me to speculate, Detective?
A teenager like that?

Probably puts the wood to her
whenever she's in the mood.

Uh, picks up tapes for the VCR,
brings her coffee in the shower,

washes her car in the driveway.

He's a household convenience.

Believe me, it ain't gonna stop her
from shoppin' around for a better deal.

Andy. We got a missing kid.
Fancy wants to get on it.

KELLY: Lieutenant,
thank you for your help.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

- (CAR DOOR CLOSES)
- SIPOWICZ: What is it?

We got a missing nine-year-old,
and we've been looking

- since about 11:00 last night.
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Detective Kelly. Detective Sipowicz.
- Hi.

I... I'm Rudolf Wentz.

My son is missing.

All right. Let's go inside
and talk about it, okay?

- Let's go inside.
- RUDOLF: Sure.

My neighbor, Mrs. Johnson, says
that children in America

sometimes disappear for days
and that is common.

Eh, but these children, they come back.

KELLY: That's usually what happens.

- Rudy has never run away.
- INGA: No.

He is nine.

- Just nine.
- Had you argued with him? Was he angry?

We moved from the Katowice, in Poland.

Coming to a strange country, I think
has made us much closer as a family.

We don't fight so much.

Was he upset about anything?

RUDOLF: No. No.

He was lonely.

We spent time with him, both of us.
We go, uh,

restaurants, the movies, anywhere,
we take Rudy.

And you know, Detective, it's no trouble.
It's fun for all of us.

We love him.

But still, he... he was lonely.

The description said he was wearing,
uh, red shorts and a white T-shirt.

INGA: When he asked to go
to the store, I told him,

"Put on a jacket and long pants.
It's chilly," but his father...

It was just to the store. One block.
Uh, he was coming right back.

KELLY: Well, it's warm
for this time of year anyway.

Here's a picture.

I'm telling you, this one
don't turn out good.

- Uh. Uh-huh.
- Could be okay. Family like that?

That kid didn't run away.
This one don't turn out good.

I hate it when you know it.

(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey, hey, kid. Kid!

Come here. Let me... let me ask you
a question. What's your name?

- Albert.
- Albert, uh,

do you know... do you know what I am?

- Huh?
- A cop.

Yeah, that's right. I'm a detective.
Listen, uh...

this kid here,
he didn't come home last night.

His name is Rudy Wentz.

He's got like, uh, a foreign accent.
You seen him around?

No. Ask Freddy.
He knows all the kids around here.

Freddy. Who... who's Freddy?

I don't know his last name.
He's kinda skinny, yellow pants.

What? He wears yellow pants every day?

ALBERT: Every day.

- How old's this guy Freddy?
- Pretty old. Maybe 30.

Phew! You know where he stays at?

ALBERT: Uh-huh. I think he's homeless.

All right, listen. Uh, you see Freddy
or, uh, this kid Rudy,

you call the number
on the back of this card, okay?

- Will you do that for me?
- Sure.

- All right.
- See ya.

Uh, you know what?

Um, I think Freddy sometimes stays
in this empty place

about six blocks that way.

There's a bunch of guys there that get in
and out on a rope they drop from a window.

- Yeah? Come on, show me the place.
- Uh, it's about six blocks, man.

Hey, Albert. You want me to jerk you up
in the air like a little bug,

so your arms and legs whip around
in front of the whole street here, huh?

- No.
- No, then come on. Show me the way.

- Good morning, Alfonse.
- Good morning, Laurie. You look terrific.

Thanks. I'll be right outside.

- Ready for the big day?
- Your star witness is all ready.

But, uh, sit down a second.

There's something I wanna...
I wanna talk to you about in confidence.

I'd really like to go over
your trial testimony, Alfonse.

(CLEARS THROAT) Mr. Giardella,

did you sell heroin in volume
to Augusto Reyes?

"Yes, I did." In the course
of that professional relationship,

did there come a time when Reyes told you

that the Colon brothers
ripped him off for product?

"That is correct."

Did he ever make threats
against the Colon brothers?

"Yeah, several times he threatened to kill
the Colon brothers."

After the Colon brothers
were subsequently killed,

did Reyes ever talk to you
about their deaths?

"Yeah, he said, 'I whacked both
those sons of bitches.'"

Thank you, Mr. Giardella. You're excused.

That's very good.

Laura, come on.
You gotta keep lookin' at your watch?

I'm hopin' our friend Jimmy Craig

- gets himself lost in the elevator.
- Why?

Because this is gonna
be our last time together.

After I testify,
the feds are gonna take me away,

but before I go, I have to give you
something to remember us by.

- (KEYS JINGLING)
- What's this?

The keys to my Cadillac. This year's.

A 24-month lease all paid for,
all the forms signed for

and everything. It's all yours.

I can't accept a car from you, Alfonse.

It's not a car. It's a Cadillac and...

if you look at the papers,
it's not from me.

It's from Stellamonte Concrete,
which is completely above board,

and totally untraceable anyway.

- I have a car, Alfonse.
- You got four doors and a windshield.

- (SCAFFOLDING WHIRRING)
- Laura...

Laura, I'm trying to tell you
how high it is a value

I place on our relationship.

I'm trying to signify something
to you here.

- Will you excuse me for a moment?
- Yeah, sure.

What? You gotta go to the bathroom
or something?

- Yeah, you know where it is.
- Yeah. Just...

GIARDELLA: Yeah. It's right over there.
J... just help yourself.

- Oh, my God.
- Yeah, you know, and if I come back, uh,

we could drive wherever, you know.
Maybe, uh,

maybe one of them, uh,
breakfast and board places

in them quaint areas.

- (CHUCKLES)
- You know, one of them places

with the quilts on the bed, and, uh,
those pictures of the whaling guys.

(LAUGHS)

One of these days,

all this bouncing around
like a cue ball is gonna stop.

I'm gonna get myself set up somewhere.

Out west, maybe. Can you hear me, Laura?

You fall in in there?

- LAURA: Be right out.
- GIARDELLA: I'm gonna leave

my past behind.

Well, most of it, anyway.

And if we can get along, Laura,
and I think we will...

Oh! Oh, my God!

(GUNSHOT)

- (GIARDELLA GROANS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- MALE VOICE: What a mess.
- He got away through the window.

- MALE VOICE: I beeped you right away, sir.
- Yeah.

MALE VOICE 2: Hell of a way
to decorate a room.

Excuse us, please.

You okay?

- I think so.
- KELLY: Okay. Did you see anything?

I saw him, the window washer.
I'm gonna have to testify, aren't I?

- Let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay?
- LAURA: I'm... I was the only one here.

KELLY: The guy is gone. He got away.

I'm gonna have to testify against him,
aren't I?

Laura, you're gonna have to promise me
you're gonna take it easy, okay?

I'm gonna be right back.
You're gonna be fine, okay?

All right. Would you stay with her,
please? I'll be right back.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (TELEPHONE RINGING)

Okay, initial here and here
at the cross-outs and sign at the bottom.

Go ahead.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Okay. All right. That's enough.
Let's get you home,

and if they want more,
they can get it later.

Yeah, okay. Okay.

- Here we go.
- Laura. Laura.

Hey, Laura.

- So, how you feeling now?
- MALE VOICE: Lieutenant...

Uh, I'm okay.

- Uh, John Kelly. James Craig.
- KELLY: Hey!

Oh, hey. How you doing, Detective?
So, uh, look.

I notified the judge about Giardella
and we're moving Perez up to testify,

but, uh... So I'm gonna run down there now
unless you want me to stay.

- No, no, no. I'm okay.
- JAMES: You sure?

Look, I'm, uh... I'm sorry this happened.
I'm sorry you had to be there.

- Good seeing you again.
- KELLY: Yeah. Take it easy.

- Detective Kelly, I gotta talk to you.
- KELLY: Not now, Lou.

No, I can't be responsible anymore.

KELLY: Have to look out
for yourself today.

I know I'm goin' full-on wolf.

No, no, no. My... my human nature
is seepin' out of me.

By five o'clock, it's gonna be all gone!

- KELLY: I need a ride for her too.
- I... I... I tell you.

You gotta listen to me.
Something terrible is gonna happen!

I'm begging for preventative protection!

Lou. He thinks he's a werewolf.
He's harmless.

- Oh.
- I'm gonna...

- Excuse me, Laura. John.
- I'm gonna get you a ride. Okay?

A child's body's been found
near where the Wentz boy disappeared.

Sipowicz and Martinez
are on their way over there.

Okay.

(KELLY SIGHING)

I, uh, I got a lot going right now.
You got my beeper, right?

- Yeah, I've got it.
- Okay. 'Cause, uh,

you know,
if you get into trouble later on,

I want you to give me a call.

I really think I'm going to be okay.

Okay. Well, you may feel okay now.
You may not later.

- Point taken, Johnny. Okay?
- Okay.

So, you got the beeper. This is your man.

- Ma'am.
- Uh,

and use it later if you need to. Okay?

- I'll be around, all right? Take care.
- (TELEPHONE RINGING)

- How's she doing?
- KELLY: I don't know.

- We'll have to see.
- It's awful she had to see that.

Yeah. Yeah, I uh,
I gotta get upstairs to get my jacket.

- They, uh... they found a kid.
- JANICE: Okay.

- Am I gonna see you tonight?
- KELLY: Uh, I don't... I don't know.

- I don't know if tonight's gonna be good.
- Last night was pretty good.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- What do we got?
- OFFICER: Looks like sexual assault.

- Strangulation.
- (SIREN BLARING)

Oh, God, I knew it. I knew... I knew it.

- (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)

Could we come in, Mr. Wentz?

Do you have news for us?

KELLY: Yeah.

I wish there was a way to say
this that wouldn't hurt you, Mr. Wentz.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

SIPOWICZ: We found a body similar
to the description of your son.

We'd like you to come with us
to the medical examiner's office

- and clear up the identification.
- Is it Rudy? Is it our boy?

KELLY: Well, we don't know for certain.

That's why we need you to come down

All you'll see is the face.

- But it may not be my boy.
- SIPOWICZ: It may not be.

But you should prepare yourself
for the possibility that it is.

You said yourself that many boys, uh,
many children run away.

Is that not so?

Are you ready, Mr. Wentz?

(MUSIC CONCLUDES)

(EXHALES)

(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Give 'em a call. Tell them I'm on my way.

MALE VOICE: Okay, Lieutenant.

- Uh, this guy you're looking for? Freddy.
- SIPOWICZ: Yeah, what do you got?

Two different sightings
at the bus terminal about an hour ago.

The Port Authority cops have been
over the area and he's not there now.

Anybody actually see him get on the bus?

No, but there'll be cops waiting
at every destination point

for every bus that left
during that period.

- KELLY: Where you going?
- To look for this sick bastard.

If I stay here,
my brains are gonna blow out of my ears.

KELLY: They got the neighborhood blanketed
in case he comes back.

Come on, Kelly. He's not climbing
any of these ropes.

They can forget looking
in those nit farms.

- This asshole knows he did a bad thing.
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Where you gonna look?
- I don't know.

I'll... I'll help the Port Authority cops.

- You got a better idea?
- I'm a serious person.

- And so am I, Lou
- I told myself when Giardella got his,

it would be one of the happiest days
of my life, so far I'm not laughin'.

- Lou!
- Well, there you go. Lon Chaney Jr.

Why can't I make you understand?
Why can't I make him understand?

I understand, Lou. You did it.
Jimmy Hoffa.

Malcolm X. Sonny Corleone. You're guilty.
You did it all.

- But I still got no room.
- LOU: I didn't do any of those things!

I committed a crime under the bridge!

Please, you have to listen to me.
It really happened!

- KELLY: What's going on, Lou?
- LOU: Murder. I did it.

All right. I'll listen to him.

- KELLY: Let's go upstairs, Lou.
- LOU: Right.

I was denned up.

Then I caught this very aggressive smell.

- It was coming off of this guy.
- What happened?

Oh, God. I mean...

It's all mixed up.

When I'm a werewolf,
I don't think I have a temper.

I'm beast! I'm fury!

And... but... when I caught a whiff
of this guy,

next thing I know I'm on top of him,
I cut him down.

The son of a bitch
didn't even have a chance.

KELLY: Did you put a name to this guy?

Yeah, they called him C-note.

He was a nickel-piece dealer.

And the day before I told him.
I said, "Stay off of my turf!"

And he defied me.

So, God help me, I cut him down.

- And he was killed? This guy.
- LOU: Yeah.

Wait till you see the report.
You'll see the pictures.

Where's the body, Lou?

It's under the bridge.

I brought the murder weapon.

I want you to know I regret what I did,

and I'm ashamed
of everything inside of me.

KELLY: You got the murder weapon?

Yeah.

Lou, you're describing a vicious murder.

Oh, I'm... I'm... I'm terrified
by my own capacities at such times.

Why did you use the weapon
and not tear him apart with your teeth?

Hey, look. I came in here,
and I admitted what I did, okay?

You can't make me go over it
in my head all the time.

I can't be thinkin' about it all the time.

Let me just ask you a couple
of more questions, okay?

Did this guy try and protect himself?

- Huh, Lou?
- He tried.

But you just kept slashing,
cutting into his clothes,

his flesh, his tendons. Was he screamin'?
Lou?

There must have been a lot of blood, no?
Huh?

Soakin' his clothes,
pourin' out all over the place.

Was it spillin' out on you, Lou? Huh?

- Was he begging for his life?
- He was begging.

I think we're talkin'
about two drug dealers

fightin' over a piece of turf.
One stabbed the other. That was horrible.

You didn't do it, but you saw it,
right, Lou?

- Lou, look at me.
- LOU: I can't!

Look at me! Come on, Lou.

You are a rough wolf but a man did this.

Lou, a man did this,
who needs to be in jail. Am I right?

- (CRIES)
- Lou. Talk to me, Lou.

- Lou!
- I saw it.

There were two dealers there too.

(CRIES)

And the one guy said to the other guy...

(SOBS)

..."You better have the money
by five o'clock or I'll..."

And he... he didn't have the money today,

and before I knew it,
the guy was stabbing him.

(CRIES)

And I knew something was going to happen.

I tried to tell you
that something was gonna happen.

But I... I was too crazy. I...

(SOBS)

Okay.

You did the best you could.

You think you could identify them
in a picture?

Yeah.

And his smell too.

I'll help you however I can.

- However I can.
- I know.

Good boy.

Good boy, Lou.

Attaboy.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Martinez.
- MARTINEZ: Yeah.

Voucher this, get it up to the lab,

and get this guy up to Narcotics,
get a look at some photographs.

See if he recognizes anybody.

- Okay.
- You know... you know his story?

Yeah, I've seen him in the station.

Okay. I'm going over
his place by the bridge.

All right. Lou, come here.

Work with Officer Martinez, all right?

And I'll talk to you later. All right?

Come on. Let's go upstairs.

So, uh, what do you like
to be called? Mr. Wolf?

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

- (PATTY GASPING)
- The door was open.

You're in the wrong room.
Are you stupid or something?

- You probably think I'm a lookie-loo.
- Just leave, hear me?

- That way there won't be any trouble.
- SIPOWICZ: I came to see the girl there.

- I don't know who you are.
- SIPOWICZ: I'm Andy's father.

- Maybe I should have called first?
- PEGGY: Andy.

Yeah, you see, it's been a lousy day.
I thought I might brighten it up

with a get-acquainted call
on my son's fiancée.

Oh, my God. Mr. Sipowicz.

I can imagine what you're thinking.

I was thinking
you might wanna put some panties on.

I've been so looking forward
to meeting you.

Andy's told me so much about you.

- This looks bad, doesn't it?
- SIPOWICZ: You generally wear a bra?

I want you to be clear this here is not
what it looks like here on the surface.

This is supposed to be our last meeting.
Say goodbye forever.

Patty started crying. I was crying.

- PATTY: Yeah.
- I took her in my arms.

See, what we had, Kevin and I, it's over.

(CLEARS THROAT) You see,
I've come to realize...

just how much I love your son.

My loneliness,

and my affection for Kevin,
it brought us together,

but it's not enough to keep us together.

Not alongside how I feel about Andy.

I think under the circumstances
it might be best for me to leave.

Hey, look. I don't know, uh,
I don't know if you rent this room

by the hour or what,

but what I gotta say won't take long,
so you just stick around.

It's, um, it's gettin'...
it's gettin' kinda late.

I should be getting home anyway.

I think you better stick around.
You see, Patty's engagement just broke up.

Now, she might need some older,
more experienced guy like you

to... to help comfort her
when she faces unfamiliar emotions, see?

I've had a pretty unhappy life
and I've made some mistakes.

This may be one of the biggest,
but try to understand.

Once Andy and I get settled
into our own place,

- I know I'll be a good wife to him.
- (SCOFFS)

This part of my life is over.

- (SIPOWICZ SIGHING)
- I'm four months pregnant.

You've been seeing Andy
for the last three months now, huh?

So, let's pretend we're grown-up here.

Is that so important when two people
care for each other?

SIPOWICZ: Yeah, it is.
So, you're gonna tell Andy

whatever you need to tell him
to cut him loose.

You don't know
what you are asking me to do.

I'm not askin'. It's how it's gonna be.

Or else I'm gonna see
what kind of parents you have,

then I'm gonna see his wife,

and if things don't get straightened out
that way,

then I'm gonna have to get serious.

- Let's be rational about this.
- Shut up!

I'm gonna need some money.

I made plans.

Here's 700 bucks.

I don't wanna hear
how you're gonna spend it.

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (TELEPHONE RINGING)

- Are you the sarge?
- Yeah.

MALE VOICE: We picked this guy up
at the Port Authority

off a bus from Hackensack.

Your detective squad wants
to talk to him about a case.

- Gimme Sipowicz.
- (SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE)

You wanna help me with this thing,
Freddy, don't ya?

Yes.

Put yourself in this boy's parents' place.

- You can imagine how they're feeling.
- Sure.

Kids in the neighborhood
say you hang around with them?

Oh, I'm just friends
with a lot of them, you know. (CHUCKLES)

Freddy, we're gonna take
your fingerprints.

And we're gonna compare 'em
with the fingerprints

we took off that boy's body,

and if they match up,
it's all over for you.

I'm just friends with them.

Were you drinking yesterday, Freddy?

I drank some beer.

Do you get urges when you're drinkin'
and feelings overcome you?

I'm just friends. (CHUCKLES)

Freddy, did you have sex on that boy?

And then you didn't want him to talk.

Is that what happened yesterday?

We only talked about Poland.
He's from Poland, you know,

and I wanted him to drink some beer,
but he didn't like it.

And I told him you never like it at first.

Did you make him drink it?

I... I only made him drink it
till he passed out, like,

and, um, his eyes closed.

I know this has gotta
be tearing you up inside...

but you're gonna feel a lot better
if you just tell the truth.

Did you have sex on him?

(BREATHS HEAVILY) Yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah. Um, I...

I... He opened his eyes,

and he... he started crying and...

and then he... he started screamin' and

I... I put my hands on his neck
to keep him from screaming and...

that's when I knew that he was gonna tell.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

I know I got a problem.

I should get treatment, huh?

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (TELEPHONE RINGING)

MARTINEZ: The lineup's set, Detective.

- Get him.
- MALE VOICE: Right, Detective.

(GRUNTS)

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

KELLY: Lou, there's six guys in there
with numbers on.

- (GROANS)
- Take it easy.

I want you to look in there.

If you recognize anybody,
you tell me his number, okay?

Go ahead.

KELLY: Do you recognize anybody, Lou?

Number one.

KELLY: Where do you know
number one from?

Under the bridge.

He's the guy that killed the other guy.

You're certain?

You'll say this on a stand when I ask you
if this should come to trial?

Go ahead, Lou.

Number one.

You've given me an eyewitness
and a murder weapon.

Plus, we got the lab report.
We can try and dig something up

in the drug relationship
between this guy and the victim.

Normally, I would be
very happy with the package,

but in this instance,
I am a little concerned.

- In the area of?
- Does it need saying, Detective Kelly?

My chief witness thinks
that he is a furry carnivore.

Okay, let me tell you something
about Louie.

- He has his ways, but down deep...
- He's a stand-up wolf.

You got the housing authorization?

- Yes.
- Thank you.

It's gonna be safe
living under the bridge now.

Livin' under the bridge
ain't gonna make it, Lou.

Here's 50 dollars. I want you to go
to the "Y" and get cleaned up,

and then go to an Army Navy store
and get some new clothes, okay?

Do you know where the Collingwood Arms is?

Okay, the DA is gonna
have you stay there for a while.

A big wolf gratitude. (WHIMPERS)

Your own lair, Lou. Go ahead. Take him.

- MARTINEZ: All right, Lou.
- You all right, man?

Yeah. Uh, Freddy signed.

Yeah. You want me to go over
and tell the parents?

- We'll go together.
- All right.

Hey. Give me a minute?

Called your house last night.
You didn't pick up.

- Yeah, I was with my ex-wife.
- Yeah, that's what I figured.

Anything else you wanna ask me?

- Did you sleep with her?
- No.

That's not what it was about.
It is over between me and her.

All right.

But I'd like to see you tonight.

All right.

Call you later?

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Hello, detectives.

KELLY: Hi, Mr. Wentz.

Came by to tell you
that we arrested someone

for what they did to your son,
and we got a full confession.

Rudolf, show them!

Detectives, please, come!

Would you mind?

She's been there all day.
She's very upset.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

At the top of the building,
do you see that?

- SIPOWICZ: See what, Mrs. Wentz?
- That white bird.

It came to us yesterday.
The day that Rudy died.

Do you see it?

KELLY: Yes, ma'am.

INGA: It hasn't left the building.
It just... it just stays there.

Do you see a light from it?

(SIGHS) There is something there maybe.

Do you see it too?

KELLY: That's a beautiful bird.

We believe, Inga and I...

that it is Rudy's spirit.

That he is staying with us, you see.

You know, he's come as a bird,

to let us know
that he is all right in his soul.

I think there is a light there
coming out of him.

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC PLAYING)

- Hi.
- Hey.

- Want a beer?
- Yeah.

(MUSIC CONCLUDES)

- (THUNDER RUMBLING)
- (RAIN PATTERING)

You know what? Wait awhile on that.

Wait on... wait on that.

(SIGHS) Are we, uh,
are we square on last night?

- Yeah. Yeah, we're square.
- Yeah.

All right. Because, um...

I wanna... I wanna put in
whatever we have to

on this, uh, you know, the two of us.

- Take this as far as we can.
- Okay.

- KELLY: You up for that?
- Yeah.

- I wanna try.
- Yeah.

- Good.
- (THUNDER RUMBLING)

(SIGHS)

You wanna pin me?

Give me your lavaliere or something?

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

Guess we're tied, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah. Come here.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

What do you want?

I wanna talk to you.

Patty told me it wasn't my baby.

That, uh... that she was getting
an abortion.

She's not gonna marry me.

She didn't say I was a fool,
but she was just being polite.

You're not a fool.

You think you did me a favor, don't you?

Well, I loved her,

and you don't know
what would have happened down the road,

and now I'm never gonna know either.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

I've been a lousy father, Andy...

but I always loved you.

And when I could,
I always tried to look out for you.

You threw a damn grenade into my life.
Is that the best you could come up with?

I don't know.
There's no rules in being a father.

I hate you, Dad.

It's better you should hate me
than screw up your life.

You got a lot of things to do yet.
I want you to do 'em better than me.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

I want you to be a better father than me.

I'm pretty confident about that.

I am too.

I wish I would have
prepared you better, Andy.

I wish I could have thought
of a better way to handle this,

but I didn't.

I know that I love you
and that I do the best I can.

I gotta pray that
that's gonna be good enough. (SIGHS)

I'll see you around, huh?
