- Hey. I thought you were in court.

Resnik to took the hearing.

- And I needed to talk to you.
- What?

Andy, you're not going
to like hearing this.

I'm under control.
Just tell me what's wrong.

Well, Elvira called me
at the office. Um, she...

- Excuse me.
- ... she couldn't vacuum the apartment

because, uh, a circuit breaker
had been tripped.

That's it? That's nothing.
I can fix that in a couple seconds.

- Hey, Greg.
- No, super already did that, um.

Then what's the problem?

Well, apparently, we should not
have plugged the fish tank

into the same outlet...

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- ...as the television. (INHALES DEEPLY)

Uh-huh.

The fish are dead.

(PHONE RINGING)

Uh-huh.

- Morning.
- SYLVIA: Morning.

- (SIGHS)
- SYLVIA: I went by there, Andy, and...

they were all floating upside down.

- It had only been a couple of hours.
- A couple of hours?

Those are saltwater tropicals.
A couple of hours can be devastating.

We'll get some more fish.

You don't just replace those fish.

Those were specific fish.

- (PHONE RINGING)
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(SIGHS) I'll have to talk to you later.

(SIREN BLARING)

What?

What, the back again?

No.

Boy, those night tour guys
leave some mess, huh?

They certainly do.

Maybe I'll, uh, leave a note or something.

DONNA: My sister just called. (SIGHS)

Oh, yeah?

She split with her husband.

I'm sorry to hear that.

And whenever she has a crisis,

- I'm supposed to bail her out.
- (GREG CHUCKLES)

It's not like we got
a lot of room at our place.

Wai... wait,
your... your sister's coming to stay?

(SIGHS) She says it's just,
for a little while.

Until they decide on counseling,
or if it's gonna be permanent.

I... I'll get a room, for a while.

No way.

My sister's not going to put you out.

- I guess she can sleep on the divan.
- (PHONE RINGING)

Look, it's not a problem.

We'll all be fine together.

Yeah.

(GUNSHOTS)

Were those gunshots?

Sylvia just walked out of here.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Across the street.
A kid got shot in the school yard.

ARTHUR: Give me your radio.

Stand back, stand back.

15th Squad to Central,

put a rush on the ambulance
to IS 27 school yard.

Forget it, Lieu. He's gone.
At least two in the heart.

Notify the ME, and crime scene to respond.

BOBBY: Did anybody see
what happened here?

MALE VOICE 1: No, I didn't see nothing.

What, nobody saw anything?

MALE VOICE 2:
No man, I didn't see nothing.

- MALE VOICE 3: Oh, my God.
- ANDY: Nobody saw anything, huh?

- (SIRENS BLARING)
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- BOBBY: Are you a teacher here?
- ANDY: Anybody know who he is?

His name's Eddie Diaz.
I better call his parents.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(SIGHS) Saw him running
to the locker room.

Caught him in the can
trying to dump this into the toilet.

- I'll take that.
- Nick, for God's sake.

ARTHUR: You know this kid?

Yeah. His mom's a friend of mine.

Could you do me a favor?

Bring him across the street,
sit him down upstairs, okay?

- OFFICER: Come on, let's go.
- (BELL RINGING)

ARTHUR: Get him covered up.

GREG: Anybody else here see
anything? Hear anything?

- Catchin' on this homicide?
- Yeah, that's me.

- Is there a problem?
- No. No, I'm all right.

- Okay.

MRS. DIAZ: How could this happen? (SOBS)

How do you let this happen?

- Mrs. Diaz, we... we do what we can.
- (MRS. DIAZ SOBBING)

- Hi. Detective Simone?
- Um, here he is.

(MRS. DIAZ SOBBING)

- Where's Nicky?
- He's in the back with a policewoman.

(SIGHS)

Oh, I can't believe this is happening.

- Tell me it's not true.
- Let's go sit at my desk.

You, uh, you want coffee, or something?

- No, thank you.
- BOBBY: Come on.

I'll get you some water. I'll be back.

So, the school post officer caught Nick

trying to ditch a gun...
(SIGHS) ...in the boys' toilet.

Well, that doesn't mean he killed anyone.

- You don't think he did it?
- BOBBY: That's why you're here, Christy.

You have to be present
when we talk to him,

help us find out
what really happened here?

What about a lawyer?

I'm not gonna lie, to you.
You can go that way,

but I think the best thing
to do is to find out what happened.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

I've dreaded this since his father left.

He doesn't talk to me,
or tell me where he goes.

- I'm Detective Sipowicz.
- Andy, and I are working this together.

(SOBS)

The dead kid's mother.

That was our corner.
He had no business there.

Our corner, huh?

Who else hung out there?

A group of us guys.

- Like John, Bruce, and that Mace kid?
- Yeah.

They hadn't shown up. Just me.

Then this PR starts pushing it.

Pushing what?

Being where he don't belong.

We don't keep 'em in their place,

in ten years, it's gonna be us or them.

Those assholes.

If I hadn't shot him...

(CHUCKLES) ...who would respect me?

My God, Nicky. Do you know
what you're saying?

NICK: You're out of the loop, Mom.

- Forget it.
- You're wrong. I'm your mother.

I'm never out of the loop.

Hey Nick, Let me tell you
what this all means here.

I know what it means. I'm 11-years-old,

The worst that can happen
to me is a few years in Spofford.

- Who told you that?
- It's the law. I know about the law.

From the mouths of babes.

Yeah.

Maybe, you got
a ground ball to first there.

- How'd it go?
- He's saying he did it.

- But I want to keep him out of the system.
- ARTHUR: You don't buy the story?

I don't know. You know, this kid's 11.

He's trying real hard to be tough. Maybe
he's taking the weight, for somebody.

I just want to hold off
until we can to talk

to some of these older guys
that he hangs with.

Okay, bring them in.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

- Is that all you're going to do?
- Don't worry.

That's the guy got shot at.

- You got the 61?
- Yeah.

You got this? They're holding
jobs in the precinct.

Okay, go ahead.

- Somebody fired at you?
- Oh. Maybe.

I don't know. I mean,
it sounded like firecrackers to me.

I just...
Everybody seems to be okay though.

If those cops didn't show up so fast,

probably would have forgotten it by now.

I can't believe you're going
to let that bitch get away with this?

Oh, so you don't think it was an accident?

Those bullets were meant, for Eddie.
And we both know who did it.

No baby, we're not sure who did it.

- Who did it?
- His ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Mills.

- Did you see her?
- No, it happened really fast.

Did you see her?

Dorie was getting a drink
of water when this happened.

So, why do you think
it's this Jennifer Mills nobody saw?

She's been threatening him,

saying things like,
"There's going to be an accident."

- (CHUCKLES)
- That kind of crap.

- Well, why is she threatening you?
- (CHUCKLES)

- I don't know.
- She's pissed because he dumped her.

And that was over a year ago.

JAMES: Hey, you're bleeding.

- ADRIENNE: Oh, wow.
- Oh, man. Look at that.

- JAMES: Come on, you better...
you better sit down.

- What's that on me?
- Can you take this off?

Yeah. (GROANS)

- ADRIENNE: Oh, you're shot.
- Oh, God, Eddie.

EDDIE: Man!

- I didn't even feel this.
- DORIE: Oh.

I... I heard the shot,
and... and I started putting on my jacket.

Isn't that right, Dorie?
I was putting on my jacket,

- when she was coming back from...
- DORIE: How bad is it?

...the water fountain that's...

Well, that's not too bad.
I'll gonna call EMS.

Okay.

Now do you think
we can maybe, file a complaint?

- It'll be fine.
- (DORIE SCOFFS)

The girl you're looking,
for is Jennifer Mills.

- She works at Saybrook Industries.
- Look detective,

if it really was her, then there's...
You don't need to worry.

I'm not going to go after her
with a baseball bat or anything like that.

I'll just let her calm down,
and then talk to her.

- So you don't wanna file a complaint?
- No. Definitely not.

If you don't, I'm going to.

(SIGHS) Okay, I'll file
a complaint, I guess.

Ambulance will be here in a few minutes.

All right. Listen, if, uh,

if there's a way we could designate this
like a low-priority complaint?

No, there's no way I can do that.

Look, why don't you head back,
go over there, and have a seat.

Wait until the ambulance comes, okay?

Yeah.

- DORIE: Sit down, honey.
- ADRIENNE: I don't know.

Guy puts on his jacket after he gets shot.

- I don't get that.
- Well, he said he didn't feel it.

Yeah, I guess that can happen. I mean...

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

- (UPBEAT MUSIC CONCLUDES)
- Ms. Mills, I'm Detective Martinez.

- This is Detective Lesniak.
- ADRIENNE: Hi.

We'd like to ask you a few questions.

Is there somewhere we can talk?

- Yeah. I think the coffee room's empty.
- (PHONE RINGING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(DOOR CLOSING)

Do you know Eddie Reyna?

Yeah, but I haven't seen him,
for a long time.

Where were you between
9:30, and 10:00 this morning?

In our staff meeting. What happened?

Did somebody trash
Eddie's apartment, or something?

He got shot.

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- Is he dead?

No. He's okay. He thinks you did it.

(SIGHS) He knows I'd like to.

He told us you made
threatening phone calls.

I'm trying to get in touch
with his girlfriend. I want to warn her.

- I'm sure he's threatened by that.
- Warn her about what?

I'm HIV positive.

Eddie infected me.

How do you know he infected you?

I don't do drugs. I'm monogamous.

And all my old boyfriends tested negative.

- Has he tested?
- No. He refuses.

I'm not his only victim.

I am sure that I'm not the only
person who'd like to kill him.

Like who else?

(SCOFFS) He's such bad news.
It's like take your pick.

Some drug dealers once shot
at him in front of my building.

- He deals drugs?
- JENNIFER: Yeah, he has.

He bragged about all the money
he made before I met him,

spent it on a vacation to Jamaica.

What prick he is.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

Look, I'm sorry.

I really hate the bastard.

JAMES: You know the names
of these dealers?

No. I know the girl
he went out with before me.

He infected her, too.

- She's dying.
- JAMES: We'd like to get her name.

Kathy Manning.

Uh, Her number's in my Rolodex.
I'll get it, for you.

- Yeah, sure. Thanks.
- (DOOR CLOSING)

Wow.

I skinned my knuckle
installing my folks' water heater.

- You know I got pretty close to that guy.
- Hey, he may not have it.

The guy looked really healthy.

- Yeah. So does she.
- Yeah.

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (PHONE RINGING)

I'm Vincent Mackie. My wife said
I'm supposed to bring my son

- in to see Detective Simone.
- BOBBY: Hey.

DONNA: Detective, Mr. Mackie,
and his son are here.

Mr. Mackie.

Yeah, my wife says you were
at the place looking, for us?

Yeah. I'd like to talk
to Bruce, for a little while.

Not without me there.

You know, Bruce is 16.
We can deal with him as an adult.

VINCENT: Like the way you threatened
him on the street the other night?

That the way you deal with him?
Yeah, I heard all about that.

Okay. You know a little kid
was killed at school today?

- Hmm?
- Bruce, you know anything about that?

- Just what I heard, like everybody else.
- There. That's it.

Mr. Mackie, we should try
to clear the air on this here,

I don't wanna arrest him.

You don't scare me. I can afford a lawyer.

And he's not talking
So you're not gonna trick him.

He said what he knows.
You want more? I call my lawyer.

- ANDY: How's it going?
- VINCENT: Come on.

- Excuse me.
- (PHONE RINGING)

(SIGHS)

That kid, Mace had the flu.
He's in bed with a 102 fever.

- Yeah?
- This Bruce says he doesn't know anything.

His father threatened to lawyer him up.

Lieutenant wants to see
you both in his office.

Thanks.

The proctor verified
that kid John was in detention.

That's the third kid
Nick was hanging with.

ARTHUR: Detectives Simone,
and Sipowicz are working the case.

- Mr. Reeves is a principal at IS 27.
- Hello.

ARTHUR:
We've got the tape of the 911 call.

Mr. Reeves was able to ID the voice.

It's Matthew Bernstein, our shop teacher.

The door to his shop is
very near the playground.

I'm sure it's him.
Now, we've shut down, for the day,

but I know he's still over at the school.

- We'll talk to him.
- All right. Go ahead.

- (CHUCKLES)
- Hi, Dana.

(CHUCKLES)

Oh. (EXHALES DEEPLY)

You, better call, Mom.
And let her know you got here.

Yeah.

That's not Greg, is it?

No. That's Detective Simone.

Donna, we'll be at IS 27.

DONNA: All right, Detective.

- (CHUCKLES)
- Look, when I get my break,

we can take your stuff by my place.

Oh, good. Lunch is my treat.

There he is.

- Uh, Donna, any messages?
- DONNA: Nothing new, Detective.

Um, by the way, this is my sister, Dana.

- GREG: Hello.
- Detective Medavoy.

Hi. At last, we meet.

- (SIGHS) Dana.
- (GREG CHUCKLES)

- Oh, sorry.
- Looks like you just got into town, huh?

- Just.
- Well, uh, enjoy your stay.

Oh, we're going out, for lunch.
You, wanna join us?

- Uh, gee, um...
- (PHONE RINGING)

- Uh, where?
- The usual.

Yeah. I'll, uh, catch up.

Uh, I'm doing follow-ups on the canvass.

- (CHUCKLES)
- (CHUCKLES)

- (CHUCKLES)
- (CHUCKLES)

He's cute. Very shy.

- Why'd you do that?
- What? What? Invite him along?

I want to get to know him.

But, just keep
your voice down about it, Dana.

I told you he, and I have
to be very discreet around here.

- All right. No problem.
- GREG: This is Detective Medavoy.

I think this whole secrecy thing
makes it very romantic.

MRS. MANNING: Kathy?

These people are police detectives.

They... they wanna
ask you some questions.

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC CONCLUDES)

What about?

Eddie Reyna, Kathy.
I'm Detective Martinez.

- This is Detective Lesniak.
- Hi.

KATHY: What about Eddie?

ADRIENNE: Someone took
a shot at him, Kathy.

Want to find out who it was.

You thought maybe it was me?

I don't have the strength
to go to the bathroom, detectives.

I'm dying.

Eddie took my life.

You sure about that?
You're sure it was him?

I was a virgin.

He said we'd get married.

- Was he hurt?
- No. It was just a flesh wound.

How did you find out about me?

Did Eddie ask about me?

No. Uh, Jennifer Mills gave us your name.

He infected her, too. (SIGHS)

- She all right?
- So far.

JAMES: Mrs. Manning?

Were you with your daughter all morning?

You mean, did I go out to shoot him?

No. I was here. So was my husband.

We wish he was dead.

Shooting is too good, for this man.

Okay, and, thank you.

911 Operator 2002. Where's the emergency?

MALE VOICE: (OVER RADIO)
I... I just saw a... a boy shot

in the... in the school yard, IS 27.
He's hurt real bad.

Would you send an ambulance?

FEMALE VOICE: (OVER RADIO) Your name,
telephone number, and address, please?

MALE VOICE: (OVER RADIO) Just,
get someone over here. Hurry!

- It's not me.
- Well, it sounds just like you.

Half the Bronx sounds like me.

Well, whoever it is on that tape,

he saw a 15-year-old kid
at your school getting shot.

Want me to tell you what I've seen?

I've seen my tires slashed
a couple of times.

I got my windshield busted out

it's 'cause I wouldn't let one of 'em
make a machete in metalwork.

(SIGHS) We've had teachers assaulted.

Last year, there was a rape.

Suppose we check on this call,
and find out that it did come

- from this office.
- Look.

People walk in, or break in
to this office every day.

And you can forget about a voice print.

Tape quality's too lousy.
I know about electronics.

I teach industrial arts.

Mr. Bernstein, did Nicky Williamson
do this shooting, huh?

I wouldn't know. I didn't see anything.

Look... (BREATHES DEEPLY) ...I got
the right to stop talking to you now.

So that's what I'm going to do.

You did the right thing making that call.

Why not go all the way?

I never made the call.

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC PLAYING)

- What's the matter?
- Nothing.

You didn't like the way
I did that interview?

(SIGHS)You figure this guy told us
everything he knew?

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (PHONE RINGING)

I figured to come back at him.

Let his conscience eat at him a while.

I don't think his conscience
had an appetite.

I think he needed to be pushed.

I'll tell you, Andy, I don't
like being second-guessed.

Then stop reading my mind.

I walked back here
minding my own business.

Walked back here with a face
like you swallowed a turd.

Did you really want to hear
what that teacher had to say?

What the hell does that mean?

You think I don't wanna clear this case?

Hey, all I know, I partnered
with the greatest social worker

since that nun from Calcutta,

but he always made sure
the cop part got done.

You, listen to me, when my wife died,
this kid's mother sat with her.

Now do I hope that this kid
didn't pull the trigger? Yeah.

But if you think I'm
trying to protect him in anyway,

- you can kiss my French- Portuguese ass.
- You don't want to be pointing that finger

- in my chest too much.
- Yeah, well you don't want to be saying

that I'm not doing my job.

Hey, turn it down,
or take it someplace else.

(UPBEAT MUSIC CONCLUDES)

Nothing here proves Eddie Reyna
knows he has HIV.

He knows. He just doesn't care.

This guy has gotten
all these girls sick, Ms. Costas.

- Has he been tested?
- When we took the guy's 61

when he got shot,

we found out from EMS
the guy wouldn't go to the hospital.

And we figured he didn't want
his blood to come up positive.

Look, if you could prove
he has been tested,

and he knew he was positive,

and he had sex with reckless disregard.

And then if you could
exclude any possibility

that the victim contracted
the illness from another partner,

theoretically, you could
make a case, for endangerment.

But the truth is with the state
of the law right now,

we are just not pursuing
prosecutions in this area.

(SIGHS)
Minimum, we ought to warn the girl.

I still want to talk to that bastard.

Well, there's no law against that, either.

- ANDY: Will he be home, for dinner?
- Yeah.

All right If he comes in,
uh, Detective Simone, or Sipowicz

of the 15th squad.

It's about an incident at the school,
this morning, okay, thanks a lot. Bye.

BOBBY: Hey, Christy.

- Nicky's going to have to stay?
- Yeah, he's gonna have to.

Have you found anything new,
any witnesses?

- No. Still working on it.
- CHRISTY: But you don't think

- it was Nicky?
- We're still checking things, Christy.

Come on. I'll, uh, take you upstairs.

Hi.

- How's it going?
- Any progress on the school shooting?

- or are you going to charge that boy?
- OFFICER: Yeah.

- Uh, we don't know yet.
- (PHONE RINGING)

Andy, my landlord called.

And, he said that he can bring
an electrician in to replace the old

- breaker panel.
- I'd rather deal with that myself.

Well, I wanted to ask you
'cause you said you might want to do that.

- Yeah, I'd... I'd prefer to do it.
- I'll tell him.

I'm going to get home a little early,
so should I drain the tank?

No. Just leave it.

- Okay.
- (CLEARS THROAT) In terms of the fish,

"Those things happen"
is the approach I'm trying to take.

Uh, no one's at fault.

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (PHONE RINGING)

So I'll see you back at the apartment?

Yeah. I'll see you later.

- SYLVIA: Hi.
- Hey.

I'm going to go back
on that shop teacher now.

You want me to come or not?

- It's up to you.
- Give me a minute.

I'll meet you downstairs, all right?

No, I mean, uh...
(CLEARS THROAT) ...let's go in here.

I wanna talk to you.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

I'll tell you, this day's got room,
for improvement, generally.

First thing I got hit with this morning,

all my fish died.

- All of them?
- An electrical thing.

The filter shut down.

Eight years ago,
there was this Newcastle's epidemic.

I, uh, I lost all my birds.

Yeah. See, that... that's a similar thing.

Anyways, uh, In the hallway before, uh,

I may have been halfway out
of line when I said that...

- I would never dump a case, Andy.
- You didn't take me right. What I meant,

uh, the way you felt,
maybe you were going slow,

not that you didn't mean to get there.

You see, when you don't know someone,

you have difficulty, uh, coming
to an understanding.

- That's true.
- The other guy I worked with the other guy

- for eight years.
- I know, Andy.

Anyways.

BOBBY: Okay, I, uh...

appreciate you saying that.

You want me to come
with you on this interview or not?

- Yeah, I would.
- Okay.

FEMALE VOICE:
There's the detectives' room.

JAMES: Thanks, for coming in.

I don't know what else
we got to tell you.

JAMES: Well we still need
to ask you some questions.

- EDDIE: Yeah, what about?
- Did you talk to Jennifer?

Why don't you take her into two.

Well hold on, you wanna
talk to Dorie, you talk to her with me.

Huh, wait.
You people can't hold us here like this.

- ADRIENNE: Come on, Dorie.
- JAMES: Would you rather be under arrest?

- Under arrest, for what?
- DETECTIVE: Right there.

Let's talk. All right?

(SIGHS)

I know most of the people, Eddie knows.

I mean, I know all
the people from the gym.

- That's where we met.
- You work out there?

- I did. Eddie was my personal trainer.
- ADRIENNE: Hmm.

He's the best. (CHUCKLES)

Are you aware that he was dealing drugs?

That's a lie.

He's totally into health.

Did Jennifer tell you that?

She's a liar.

Have you ever actually spoken to Jennifer?

No. Eddie doesn't want me talking to her.

She's crazy.

- Let's talk about the time you got shot at
- (CLEARS THROAT)

by drug dealers.

(CHUCKLES) I know where
this is coming from.

Look,

Jennifer is a very disturbed person.

I mean, you know the term transference?

She had a heavy drug problem.

And I was trying to work it out of her.

Make her understand that her body
was the temple of her soul,

and she was destroying it.

Have you ever been tested, for HIV, Eddie?

- (CHUCKLES) Do I look like I have AIDS?
- I'm asking the questions.

I've never been sick a day in my life.
Why should I be tested?

Jennifer is positive.

Well, I'm very sorry to hear that,

but, uh, I'm not surprised
because of her drug problem.

You're not worried?

While I was with her, she was just
dropping pills. No IV use.

How about Kathy Manning?

- (CHUCKLES) Kathy?
- JAMES: Mm-hmm.

(SCOFFS) I haven't seen Kathy
in three years.

She's dying.

Well, that's too bad,
but it's got nothing to do with me.

Ever hear of reckless endangerment?

Yeah.

And when you say something like that,
I say get me a lawyer or let me leave.

If you'd seen Eddie without his shirt on,

you'd know there's no way he's got AIDS.

(CHUCKLES)

He told me that bitch
was spreading that rumor.

Have you been tested?

I don't need to be. (CHUCKLES)

Have you practiced safe sex?

The kind of sex I practiced
is none of your business.

Get yourself tested, Dorie,
and protect yourself.

I don't need to.

I trust Eddie with my life.

- (PHONE RINGING)
- Now, can I please leave?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Come on. Let's get out of here.

- Are you okay?
- DORIE: She, just asked me some questions.

Did you get through to her?

She thinks Eddie Reyna's
the greatest guy in the world.

I still get nightmares
being back in school,

getting called on,
and I don't have my homework.

I want you to know
that I've spoken to my union,

and they said to notify them
if you harass me.

Mr. Bernstein, I'm sympathetic
with all your concerns,

but I need, for you to confirm,
for us one way, or another,

if we've arrested the right kid.

I don't know. I didn't see.

BOBBY: If Nick Williamson did this,

you're not going
to have to testify here, okay?.

He already confessed.

Just give me an indication,
of what he's saying's true.

I didn't see. I can't give
you an indication one way or another.

See, I heard your voice on that tape,

so I know that you did see.

So, what I think this is,
is that you're trying to say

he didn't do it without
having to say who did.

If he didn't do it,
Mr. Bernstein, you better step-up.

'Cause otherwise, this kid's going away,
and I'm telling you right now,

that if this kid goes away,
and you know he didn't pull the trigger,

it's not only his life
that gets ruined here. It's your life too.

Okay, I've been warned.

You know, you can ruin your health
over something like this.

It gets to where you can't sleep,

it gets to where you're eating
with your own kids one day,

and suddenly you start thinking,
gee I wonder what that kid's

eating at Spofford. Prison food.

- Leave me alone.
- Who you talking to now, Mr. Bernstein,

to me or to your conscience?

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (SIREN BLARING)

If I tell you...

then, I have to get
a transfer out of here.

Doesn't exactly sound
like you're in love with the place.

Look, for someone who's...

- a little older.
- Stop playing games with us here.

Now, give me a name.

Bruce Mackie.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

- (UPBEAT MUSIC CONCLUDES)
- Smells good.

- Oh, yeah. (CHUCKLES)
- (DANA CHUCKLES)

Uh, you know, Don... Donna should
be home any minute.

Her legal stenography class ends at seven.

I took some fashion design courses
at Toby-Coburn

- before I got married.
- (CHUCKLES)

I'm thinking of trying
to find something in the industry.

- Yeah, that sounds great.
- (CHUCKLES)

I'm probably dreaming.

I'll probably end up working at the Gap.

Y... You shouldn't give up your dreams.
(CHUCKLES)

That is really nice to hear, Greg.
I haven't heard that, for three years.

Jeff doesn't relate to dreams.
He's just not... he's just not ambitious.

I want something
out of life. Is that so bad?

Uh, no. N... not at all. (SIGHS)

You know, maybe
I should heat up the baked apples.

I... I think they're better
when they're hot.

(SIGHS) When you left your wife,

did you know, for sure
it was the right thing to do?

Were you absolutely positive?

GREG: Uh, yes, and no,

but, you know, I... I... I think
it's different, for everybody.

I know I'm unhappy married to Jeff,

but now, I don't know where I'm going.

I don't know what'll happen to me.
I might be more unhappy.

I... I... I'm sure things
will work out, for you, Dana.

- (CHUCKLES)
- I'm just so alone.

It would be so great.

To have someone like you.
(EXHALES DEEPLY)

Someone who understands
what I'm going through.

(SCOFFS) Donna understands.

Uh, you know,
maybe you should go in the other room,

and... and...and lie down,
for a little while.

Greg?

Could you hold me just, for a second?

Oh, Dana, I... I don't
think that's such a good idea.

Just hold me, for a second.

- Please?
- (SIGHS)

Yeah. Well, all right. Just...
just, for a second.

There you go, all right?

Oh. Here's... here's, Donna now.

Donna, I'm... I'm glad you're here.

Dan... Dana's very upset
about her future.

Oh, yeah? Is that why her robe's open?

What's that supposed to mean?

Donna, I... I think
you got the wrong impression.

Greg was offering support,

which is more than I can say,
for you the last few days.

Yeah? He was offering support.

- And what were you offering?
- Girls. Ladies.

DANA: This is how she thinks.

She can't conceive
of a man, and woman bonding

- without some sexual aspect.
- Uh, excuse me, I... I'm going for a walk.

I know how you operate, Dana.

Ever since junior high, nothing's changed.

Oh, I forgot. She knows everything.

She thinks a D-cup makes her God.

(SIGHS) Please turn down the heat
on the baked apples.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

James, that 61
you took yesterday, shots fired?

- Yeah. Eddie Reyna.
- He's a DOA.

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (PHONE RINGING)

(SIREN BLARES)

- What do you got?
- Didn't bother to rob him.

He's got a 120 bucks in his pocket.

JAMES: Hey, hold up.

Powder burns around the wound.
Looks like real close range.

You check stiffs for HIV?

We can.

Test this guy's blood, and let me know.

There's his girlfriend.

Come on.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

You see what happened, Dorie?

- Must've been those drug dealers again.
- Did you see what happened to, Eddie?

Eddie's dead.

It's okay.

- That's what I'm gonna be soon.
- Why are you gonna be dead soon?

- 'Cause I'm sick.
- Sick? How?

Huh?

- Dorie, did you get tested?
- Yeah.

He made me sick just like everyone else.

Now he's dead.

It's what he deserved.

Stand up, Dorie.

(SIREN BLARING)

Come on we're going to have
to take you to the station house.

Come on.

I happen to know
you're holding some punk on this.

Bruce has got no business here.

We have an eyewitness,
a teacher, who saw your son

point a gun at Eddie Diaz,
and pull the trigger.

No, no, no. The guy saw
someone else, not Bruce.

Trust me. The guy knows him.

Bruce, is never gonna get
through a lineup.

What? I don't know
what they're talking about.

Are you lying to me?

(SCOFFS) I ain't saying nothing.

You know what
a murder charge means, Bruce?

Twenty-five years to life.

Yeah, well, not me. I'm a juvenile.

- I shouldn't even be here right now.
- BOBBY: He's wrong.

He can be tried as an adult
he can be sentenced as an adult.

I'm not buying any of this.

- We got to talk to a lawyer.
- Look, Mr. Mackie,

I got one offer to make here.

It gives your son a chance
to have a life. You wanna hear it?

Yeah.

Bruce makes a full, and frank confession.

He expresses remorse
for his actions. And we'll make

an effort to get
this tried in family court.

An effort? You got to do better than that.

We don't got to do anything, Mr. Mackie.

We can close this case,
and little Brucie here

heads off to Ossining.

He didn't say he did it.
We don't know that.

I want to put him in the system,

- stand up.
- No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Nah, I... I'll take the deal.

Look, I do... I don't want
to be tried as an adult.

Let's hear it.

I shot him.

Why?

He was going to tag our place in the yard.

No other reason?

He just shouldn't have been there.
(CHUCKLES)

BOBBY: How did Nicky get the gun?

Came running over.

I gave it to him after I capped the guy.

- (SOBS)
- (MELANCHOLIC MUSIC PLAYING)

BRUCE: Pop, I'm sorry, Pop.

I'm sorry, Pop.

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC CONCLUDES)

You disappointed, Nick?

No. Why?

Bruce confessed. He's the big shot now.

I don't believe that.

I'll play you the tape.

He said he killed Eddie,

then he gave you the gun,
and told you to ditch it.

He said he shouldn't have known better
then to give it to some little wimp.

He didn't say that.

I'm telling you he must be some
kind of guy, this Bruce.

What did he ever do for you that's worth
three to five years in prison?

I don't rat. It's respect.

Oh, yeah? And how did
he earn that respect?

Did he feed, or house you?
Did he work to support you?

What exactly did this Bruce do?

It's not what he did.

- It's what he is.
- Oh, and what's that?

Huh? Is he some kind of king bad ass?

Let me tell you something,
he's downstairs right now

bawling his eyes out.
He used you, Nick!

He used you, and you went for it.

It's got nothing to do with respect.

- Yeah, it does.
- Your mother over there,

she works hard to feed you,
to put a roof over your head.

She's the one that earns respect here,
and all your giving her is grief.

I know what my mom does for me.

Yeah, you know, but do you care?

You're ready to leave her on her own

'cause you figure you owe
some punk more than you owe her.

(SOBS)

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

BOBBY: What happened
in that school yard, Nick?

It's like you said...

Bruce shot him, and handed me the gun.

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC PLAYING)

You did the right thing here, Nick.

You acted like a man.

He'll, uh, give a statement to an ADA
in the matter of hiding the gun.

He won't have to go to jail?

We'll talk to him.

I... I can't make any promises,

but I'm pretty sure
he'll just be a witness.

All right, all right. Thanks.

She laid in wait with a gun.

We have to take it to the grand jury.

You'll indict this girl,

but you couldn't move
on the guy who made her sick?

No jury in the world will convict her.

It'll never go to a jury.

We'll take the plea,
and suspend the sentence.

She already got her sentence.

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (PHONE RINGING)

Hey.

- Finish the fives?
- Yeah.

I'm glad it worked out like this,

glad for that woman
that took care of your wife.

Thanks.

That's the thing about working
the precinct, Andy.

Sometimes you actually
get a chance to do some good.

Uh, when I was drinking, uh...

Some mornings I'd get up, uh,

I didn't know where the hell I was,

and trying not to remember
what I was doing. (SIGHS)

If I could drag-ass to the station house,

at least I had a chance
of, uh, making some sense of something.

(SNIFFS)

You got plans for dinner?

You're on your own?

Yeah. She lets me out once in a while.

Sure.

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (PHONE RINGING)

(SIGHS) Donna, maybe we should
talk about last night.

Why? You explained yourself.

Yeah, and I got
the silent treatment in return

ever since I got back from my walk.

There's nothing to talk about, Gregory.

My sister's always done this.

She's always hit on my boyfriends.

I didn't do anything, Donna.

You didn't have to.
If I didn't get home when I did,

all you would've had to do was stand
there, and she would have done it for you.

Hey, listen.

No matter when you came home,
nothing would have happened.

'Cause... 'cause I'm not one
of your old boyfriends.

I didn't say you were. I just know Dana.

Then you got to know me.

I love you.

I'd never touch her.

And if you'd like my opinion...

I don't think Dana should stay with us.

I'm going to talk to her tonight

I'm going to tell her to pack her things.

She's moving to the YW,
and I don't care what my mother says.

Yeah, and if you want to know what I say,

I say good riddance,
and... and no hard feelings.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

- SYLVIA: Vitamins.
- Oh, yeah. Thanks.

Hmm.

(EXHALES DEEPLY) In the morning, I'll, uh,

clean out that tank,
and recycle the water.

Hmm.

I'm so glad that you're getting past this.

ANDY: (CLEARS THROAT) Well, this, uh,

this tragedy could have
happened at my place, too, Sylvia.

It didn't, but it... it could have.

I don't think we should
let it affect our schedule.

So, next week
you'll spend three nights here?

Yeah, and then, uh,

four the next week, and so on

until I get used to it.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

You know, I, uh...

There's things I...

I've really wanted,
and I could never have.

Without a life
like the life we're going to have.

There's some beautiful, um, triggerfish

that I could never
mix in with those other kinds,

and now I can get those.

You're my big bear, aren't you?

Yeah, I guess I am.
