Original subtitles

AH, STOPPED FOR GAS,

I ALMOST KILLED SOME NON?ENGLISH?SPEAKING REFUGEE

WHO HAD THE BALLS TO RAISE THE PRICE

ANOTHER NICKEL A GALLON

WHILE I'M STANDING ON THE PUMP.

SO, HOW'D IT GO LAST NIGHT?

WHAT, WITH CYNTHIA?

IT WAS GOOD.

SO YOU GOING TO SEE HER AGAIN?

ACTUALLY, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT.

D.O.A. IN THE ALLEY. DAY MANAGER SAW HIM.

PLUS, SOME WAITRESS WORKING DOUBLE SHIFT

MAYBE SEEN SOMETHING.

WHERE IS SHE?

Danny: WHERE'S THE BODY?

GO IN THE ALLEY.

LOOK AT ALL THE GARBAGE IN THIS ALLEY.

WAIT, IS THAT ??

EXCUSE ME.

YOU SEE WHO THIS IS?

YEAH, IT'S YOUR HOMELESS GUY.

IT'S NICHOLAS.

WAIT, HOW'S HE GET HERE WHEN HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE

IN A CELL AT THE STATION HOUSE?

SO, I SEE THE BUM OUT FRONT, TRY AND WAVE HIM OFF,

SO LEN DON'T FLIP OUT.

AFTER LEN EIGHTY?SIXED HIM?

LEN'S IN BACK ?? OPENING BOXES ?? COMES OUT,

FINDS HIM TELLING THE CUSTOMERS,

"DON'T EAT THE MEAT 'CAUSE IT'S STILL GOT FEELINGS."

LEN DOESN'T LIKE THAT.

NO, LEN GRABS HIM BY THE NECK,

TAKES HIM AROUND THE CORNER ??

NOW, I KNOW HE STILL HAD THE BOX CUTTER,

BUT I DON'T KNOW IF HE'D KILL ANYONE.

I LEFT SPECIFIC WORD AT THE DESK ??

MAKE SURE NICHOLAS SLEEPS IN HIS CELL.

BEFORE YOU JUMP DOWN ANYBODY'S THROAT,

MAYBE IT WAS NICHOLAS' IDEA LEAVING.

THE WAITRESS SAYS THE D.O.A. USED THE PAY PHONE OUT FRONT,

THEN HAD A BEEF WITH THE OWNER

WHO MIGHT HAVE STABBED HIM WITH A BOX CUTTER.

HEY, LISTEN, SOON AS CRIME SCENE'S FINISHED,

MAKE SURE AND GET NICHOLAS' SHOPPING CART

UP TO OUR STATION HOUSE.

HEY, SARGE, LAST NIGHT I ARRANGED

FOR A NICHOLAS GILBERT TO STAY IN ONE OF THE CELLS.

YEAH, I CHASED HIM. NARCOTICS MADE A SWEEP,

AND THEY HAD TWO FEMALE PRISONERS.

I NEEDED THE CELL.

I LEFT A VERY SPECIFIC REQUEST.

TO LET A BUM SLEEP IT OFF IN THERE?

WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS IS ?? "MAYBERRY RFD"?

WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THAT TOWN DRUNK?

OTIS.

OTIS.

MAYBE I CAN LEAVE THE KEYS

BY THE DOOR NEXT TIME, SO YOUR BUDDIES

CAN LET THEMSELVES IN AND OUT.

THERE'S A ROSTER UPSTAIRS.

MAYBE YOU COULD'VE CALLED ME AT HOME

AND LET ME COME TAKE CARE OF IT.

IT WAS 1:00 A. M.

BUT I TELL YOU WHAT, NEXT TIME I WILL.

I'LL DEFINITELY WAKE YOUR ASS UP

AND GIVE YOU AN EARFUL.

HEY, THE GUY YOU BOOTED ??

HE GOT KILLED A COUPLE HOURS LATER.

YEAH, I KNOW. THAT'S WHY I'M STILL HERE

WAITING FOR THE DUTY CAPTAIN SO WE CAN MAKE OUT A 49.

THIS IS EXACTLY THE WAY I WANTED TO SPEND MY MORNING.

THE GUY WHO KILLED HIM IS MOST LIKELY THE GUY

I WAS TRYING TO PROTECT NICHOLAS FROM,

BY KEEPING HIM SAFE IN HERE!

THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE MADE HIM A MATERIAL WITNESS

AND HAD HIM LODGED SOMEWHERE.

IF YOU WOULD'VE GOT OFF YOUR ASS

AND CALLED ME, HE'D STILL BE ALIVE!

YOU NEED TO HAUL YOUR BABY?FACED PARTNER UPSTAIRS!

Andy: DON'T ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE, MAHONEY.

YOU ADD ME NOW TO THE LIST OF PEOPLE HERE

THAT THINK YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE!

GET HIM OUT OF HERE BEFORE I LOSE MY TEMPER!

COME ON. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?

GUYS?

I TALKED TO THIS LAWYER BILL STEDING.

HE'S GOT NICHOLAS' DAD COMING IN.

WHAT WENT ON DOWNSTAIRS?

YOU MEAN, WITH MAHONEY?

HE'S A BOSS. HE MAKES A CALL,

YOU COULD WIND UP BACK IN THE BAG.

MAHONEY SCREWED UP.

LAST NIGHT,

I LEAVE NICHOLAS IN A CELL FOR SAFEKEEPING.

MAHONEY CHASES HIM AND NICHOLAS WINDS UP DEAD.

WELL, YOU BOUGHT YOURSELF A PROBLEM.

BOSS, DON'T MAKE ME GO DOWN THERE AND APOLOGIZE.

LET ME TALK TO MAHONEY.

SO WHERE ARE WE ON NICHOLAS?

YESTERDAY, HE GIVES UP

DIEGO AND MAURICIO FOR WHACKING THIS JEFE.

BEING MAURICIO SPENT THE NIGHT IN THE SYSTEM

LEAVES DIEGO AS A CANDIDATE.

MEDAVOY AND JONES ARE BRINGING MAURICIO BACK

FROM RIKERS.

MAYBE LET THEM GO FRESH AT HIM

ON LOCATING DIEGO.

SURE. THERE'S ALSO THE OWNER OF THE DINER,

THIS LEONARD PLUTO.

THE WAITRESS SEES HIM AND NICHOLAS

GO AT IT OUT IN FRONT,

AND PLUTO'S HOLDING A BOX CUTTER.

WHAT DOES PLUTO KNOW?

GONE TO ATLANTIC CITY.

WAITRESS GAVE US HIS PAGER, BUT HE HASN'T CALLED BACK.

SHE ALSO SAW NICHOLAS ON A PAY PHONE,

SO WE GOT A PHONE DUMP COMING.

OKAY, LET ME GO TRY

AND CLEAN IT UP WITH MAHONEY.

LISTEN TO THIS ONE ?? "DEAR NICHOLAS,

"I'M WRITING TO ASK YOU ONE MORE TIME

"TO LET ME HELP.

"YOU KNOW I WOULD GIVE MY OWN LIFE

"IF THAT WOULD MAKE YOU OKAY.

"IF YOU WON'T CALL ME,

"PLEASE CALL BILL STEDING.

HIS NUMBER'S ON THE CARD. LOVE, DAD."

I PUT HIM SOMEPLACE BETTER,

MAYBE HIS DAD GETS TO SEE HIM OTHER THAN AT THE MORGUE.

Diane: FOUND THE BOX CUTTER

IN THE KITCHEN, STUCK BEHIND SOME CANS.

SEE ANY BLOOD ON IT?

NOTHING VISIBLE.

CRIME SCENE SENT IT TO THE LAB.

I THINK I'M GOING TO CHECK THE STOP?AND?FRISKS,

AND SEE IF ANYTHING JUMPS OUT.

IT'S OKAY.

I SHOULD BRING THAT LITTLE HOTHEAD UP

ON INSUBORDINATION IS WHAT I SHOULD DO.

HE FEELS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS HOMELESS GUY'S DEATH.

I NEEDED THE CELL, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

I DIDN'T TOSS THAT BUM FOR NO GOOD REASON.

NO ONE'S SAYING YOU DIDN'T.

SORENSON IS.

HE'S COME DOWN OFF THAT.

LIKE I SAID,

HE'S FEELING GUILTY FOR WHAT HAPPENED.

PLUS, HE'S BEEN GOING THROUGH SOME PERSONAL ISSUES.

YEAH? BOO HOO HOO.

MUST BE A ROUGH TRANSITION

GOING FROM BANGING FRANCO UP IN ANTI?CRIME

OVER TO BANGING RUSSELL.

PEOPLE GOT EYES AROUND HERE.

DID I COME DOWN TO TALK ABOUT THAT?

DID I NEED TO HAVE SORENSON CALL ME AN ASSHOLE

IN FRONT OF THIS WHOLE STATION HOUSE?

SCREW HIM.

NICE 5?DAY RIP MIGHT DO HIM GOOD.

A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO,

I CAME DOWN LOOKING FOR A VOUCHER.

I RECALL FINDING A COUPLE OF FLUTES

IN YOUR DESK DRAWER.

DID I BUST YOU FOR IT?

OR DID I POUR IT DOWN THE SINK

AND LEAVE IT AT THAT,

OTHER THAN REMINDING YOU IT WASN'T 1965 ANYMORE?

SO WHY DON'T WE

KEEP THIS ONE IN THE FAMILY, TOO?

THAT BOOZE ?? LATER, I CAME TO YOU

AND, LIKE A MAN, I GAVE AN APOLOGY.

YOU CAN EXPECT ONE FROM SORENSON.

CHECK OUT MAURICIO, ALL BUFFED UP.

GOT HIMSELF A SHAVE, A HAIRCUT,

GOOD MEAL IN HIM

WITH ALL THOSE ESSENTIAL VITAMINS AND MINERALS.

GOT TO MAKE PRISON WORK FOR YOU.

THAT'S WHAT I KEEP TELLING THOSE FOOLS,

WASTING THEIR TIME

READING LAW BOOKS IN THE LIBRARY.

LET IT GO, MAN.

GOT EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN THERE,

EXCEPT WOMEN.

THERE'S WAYS AROUND THAT.

SO YOU CAN DO THE TIME.

I CAN DO WHATEVER, MAN.

SO, WHAT WE DOING TODAY?

TODAY'S GOING TO CONSIST OF YOU TELLING US

WHERE TO FIND DIEGO AND US GOING TO PICK HIM UP.

AND IF I DON'T?

WHAT YOU GONNA DO, THROW ME BACK IN JAIL?

HA HA.

WE'RE GOING TO THROW YOU BACK ON THE STREET.

LET'S DO IT.

AFTER WE PUT OUT WORD YOU'RE A RAT.

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE GETTING KICKED.

YOU GAVE US DIEGO.

NICHOLAS GAVE YOU DIEGO.

NICHOLAS IS CRAZY. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT.

WHO WOULD BELIEVE HIM?

AFTER WE GET WORD OUT TO OUR STOOLS,

WE'RE GOING TO PICK YOU UP

IN FRONT OF ALL YOUR FRIENDS,

AND YOU'RE GOING TO PUT UP A FUSS.

THEN DRIVE YOU AROUND FOR AN HOUR,

STUFF A COUPLE OF $20s IN YOUR POCKET,

AND DUMP YOU BACK OFF WHERE WE GOT YOU.

SAME DRILL EVERY DAY,

AND AFTERWARDS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE

OTHER DETECTIVES COME BY AND GRAB EVERYBODY BUT YOU,

AND THEY'LL TELL THEM

THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A GUY NAMED DIEGO

THAT OUR LITTLE FRIEND MAURICIO TOLD US ABOUT.

WE'RE GOING TO TURN YOU INTO A RAT

WHO'S GOT A SIDE DEAL WITH THE COPS, MAURICIO,

AND YOU'LL GET VERY UNPOPULAR VERY QUICKLY,

BELIEVE ME.

OR YOU GIVE US DIEGO ??

HIS FULL NAME AND WHERE HE IS.

HE GETS RUNG UP FOR KILLING JEFE,

GOES UPSTATE,

AND YOU'LL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN,

AND YOU'RE BACK ON THE STREET, MY BROTHER,

THE WIND BENEATH YOUR WINGS.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT!

UH, JOHN GILBERT.

I'M LOOKING FOR DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ.

I'M HERE ABOUT MY SON.

MR. GILBERT, I'M DANNY SORENSON.

MY PARTNER ANDY SIPOWICZ.

HOW DO YOU DO?

THIS IS MY DAUGHTER ELLEN SCOTT.

THAT'S HER HUSBAND ROSS.

HOW ABOUT WE TALK IN HERE?

IS THAT NICKY'S?

UH, YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S HIS CART.

COME ON.

MAHONEY WILL DROP IT,

BUT HE WANTS AN APOLOGY.

SOON AS I CAN GET TO IT.

MAKE IT GOOD.

GET YOU SOME COFFEE?

NO, THANKS. I'M ON MEDICATION.

MY FATHER HAS CANCER,

BUT HE'S GOING TO BEAT IT.

WE'RE, UH, SORRY ABOUT YOUR SON.

WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING?

WHY WOULD ANYBODY KILL NICKY?

HE GOT STABBED IN AN ALLEY.

WE'RE LOOKING AT A COUPLE OF LEADS.

THIS IS SO AWFUL.

YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN HIM BEFORE ALL THIS.

HE WOULDN'T HURT A FLY.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU TALKED TO YOUR BROTHER?

ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO.

HE WAS LIVING BEHIND AN ABANDONED BUILDING.

BUT, UH, HE MOVED SINCE THEN.

HE MOVED A LOT.

LAST, HE WAS STAYING UNDER A BRIDGE.

WE TRIED TO FIND HIM FOR CHRISTMAS,

BRING HIM HOME FOR DINNER

AT OUR PLACE OUT IN SHORT HILLS.

WOULD HAVE MEANT SO MUCH TO MY DAD.

THAT THE LAST TIME YOU TALKED TO HIM, ROSS?

YEAH, SAME AS ELLIE.

UM, I NEVER GOT TO KNOW HIM, REALLY.

NICK WAS ALREADY PRETTY FAR GONE

WHEN ELLEN AND I STARTED GOING OUT.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM, YOU DON'T MIND MY ASKING?

FRESHMAN YEAR AT BROWN,

HE STOPPED GOING TO CLASS,

GOT PARANOID, STARTED MUMBLING TO HIMSELF,

WEARING HEAVY WOOLEN GLOVES AND THE HOODED SWEATSHIRT

EVEN WHEN IT WAS HOT,

AND SUNGLASSES ?? DAY AND NIGHT, SUNGLASSES.

WE THOUGHT IT WAS A PHASE.

WE THOUGHT IT WAS ADOLESCENT DISAFFECTION.

OH, IT WAS SO HARD ON MY WIFE.

YEAH, I'LL BET. YOU DON'T KNOW

WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LOSE A SON.

I LOST MINE WHEN HE WAS 24.

I'M SORRY, DETECTIVE.

I DON'T MEAN TO IMPLY

THAT I HAD A MONOPOLY ON GRIEF.

NO.

SOMETIMES, IT FEELS LIKE THAT.

WORST THING WAS

HE DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE LIKE THAT,

DIE LIKE A DOG.

HE COULD HAVE USED SOME OF HIS MONEY

AND AT LEAST HAVE BEEN COMFORTABLE.

WHAT, NICHOLAS HAD MONEY?

WHEN MY WIFE DIED, SHE LEFT ENOUGH

FOR ELLIE AND NICKY TO SET THEM UP FOR LIFE.

I BEGGED HIM. I SAID, "GET A PLACE,

GET LIVE?IN HELP."

I GUESS HE HAD TO BE OUT THERE.

WELL, I'M NOT FEELING WELL.

I HAVE TO GO NOW.

I'M GOING TO DIE SOON, DETECTIVE.

GET WHO KILLED MY SON.

WE'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN WE FIND SOMETHING.

Ellen: IF ANYTHING COMES UP,

WE'LL BE IN TOWN AT MY DAD'S.

HOW ABOUT THAT?

THE KID COULD HAVE LIVED ON PARK AVENUE.

HE SLEEPS UNDER A BRIDGE.

I GOT LEONARD PLUTO COMING IN.

HE CALLED FROM THE ROAD, HALFWAY TO ATLANTIC CITY.

WE TOLD HIM THERE WAS A PROBLEM AT HIS DINER.

ANYTHING ON THE BOX CUTTER?

STILL WAITING ON THE LAB.

THIS CAME OFF THE FAX.

THE DUMP FROM THAT PAY PHONE NICHOLAS USED

SHOWS A 7?MINUTE CALL TO SHORT HILLS, NEW JERSEY

AT 2:30 A. M.

NUMBER BEING THE HOME OF NICHOLAS' SISTER ELLEN

AND HER HUSBAND ROSS.

SOMEONE MUST HAVE TALKED TO HIM.

ALSO, SOMEONE'S LYING WHEN THEY SAID

THEY HADN'T SPOKE TO HIM IN SIX MONTHS.

LET'S GET THE SISTER AND HER HUSBAND BACK IN.

YOU TALK TO MAHONEY?

HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE YET.

WHEN WILL YOU GET A CHANCE?

MIGHT SOUND BETTER

COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH ONCE I CALM DOWN.

YEAH. OKAY. MAKE IT SOON.

LITTLE, UH, HANKY?PANKY GOING ON

WITH A COUPLE OF OUR COWORKERS, I GUESS,

HUH, D.?

ALTHOUGH, UH, WHAT I GATHER,

I GUESS IT'S OVER WITH.

WELL, I'M STAYING OUT OF IT.

YEAH, ME TOO. ABSOLUTELY.

THEIR BUSINESS, RIGHT?

IT AIN'T MINE. THAT'S ALL I KNOW.

LESSON TO BE LEARNED THERE. I'LL TELL YOU THAT MUCH.

I HAD TO TELL THAT A. D. A. HAYWARD

TO QUIT HASSLING ME FOR A DATE ALREADY.

[ Laughs ] YOU'RE A PIECE OF WORK.

WHY DON'T YOU ASK HER OUT?

WHY?

BOTH SINGLE.

BOTH BLACK.

DON'T GIVE ME THAT. COME ON.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT?

ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS, GREG.

SO YOU HAVE.

DON'T.

WHY? DON'T.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, THIS IS HIM.

HOW'S IT GOING, DIEGO?

I'M NOT DIEGO.

HEY, DON'T GET BASHFUL ON US NOW.

I'VE BEEN CALLED DIEGO.

GET YOUR HANDS OUT OF YOUR POCKETS.

IS THAT A CRIME NOW?

EASY OR YOU MAY NEVER FIND OUT.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE DISAPPOINTED, OFFICER.

I DON'T WANT TO GET YOUR HOPES UP.

ANOTHER ONE WITH A MOUTH.

A TONGUE, TOO. I CAN TOUCH MY NOSE.

WATCH.

STILL GOING TO BE ABLE TO PLUCK CANS

OUT OF THE DUMPSTER WITH A BROKEN ARM?

AH?CHOO.

WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING BACK ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE.

DOES THAT MEAN

YOU HAVE SOME IDEA WHO KILLED NICKY?

WE'RE WORKING ON IT. IN THE MEANTIME,

WE HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

FIRE AWAY.

LAST NIGHT, BEFORE YOUR BROTHER GOT KILLED,

HE MADE A CALL ON A PAY PHONE

TO YOUR HOME NUMBER IN JERSEY.

HOW COME YOU DIDN'T TELL US ABOUT THAT?

NICKY CALLED OUR HOUSE?

THERE WAS NO MESSAGE ON THE ANSWERING MACHINE,

NOT EVEN A HANG?UP.

THE CALL LASTED 7 MINUTES. THAT MEANS

HE HAD TO TALK TO SOMEBODY

OR AT LEAST SOMEBODY HAD TO ANSWER THE PHONE

AND STAY ON THE LINE

EVEN IF ALL THEY HEARD WAS HIM BREATHING HARD.

I'M SORRY. THERE'S JUST NO WAY

NICKY CALLED OUR HOUSE LAST NIGHT.

THERE HAS TO BE SOME MISTAKE.

NO, UM...

IT'S ?? IT'S NOT A MISTAKE.

YOU TALKED TO HIM?

YOU WERE SLEEPING AND HE SOUNDED UPSET.

HE SAY WHAT HE WAS UPSET ABOUT?

WELL, HE DIDN'T EXACTLY MAKE HIMSELF CLEAR.

YOU KNOW, UH, PARANOID NON SEQUITURS

ABOUT ALIEN BIRDS, POISONED FOOD, UH,

SOME GUYS HE WAS AFRAID OF ??

UH, JEFE?

SOME OTHER LATINO NAME? I SAID TO HIM,

"PLEASE, NOW I GOT YOU ON THE PHONE.

PLEASE, LET ME COME AND GET YOU,"

BUT HE WOULDN'T SAY WHERE HE WAS

OR ?? OR IF HE WAS TRYING TO TELL ME,

THEN I COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT,

BUT I DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE HE WAS REALLY IN TROUBLE.

SO HOW COME YOU DECIDED NOT TO MENTION THIS BEFORE?

WHEN HE TURNED UP DEAD, I DIDN'T HAVE THE GUTS

TO TELL MY WIFE OR HER DAD.

IT WASN'T YOU WHO MADE NICKY CRAZY

OR PUT HIM OUT ON THE STREET.

IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME

BEFORE SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENED.

I JUST...

I WISH I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN HIM.

IF SOMETHING ELSE COMES UP,

YOU'LL BE AT YOUR DAD'S APARTMENT?

WORKING OUT FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.

THANK YOU.

THEY HAVE AN EXPLANATION ON THE PHONE CALL?

SON?IN?LAW HOLDS UP.

HE'S THE ONE THAT TALKED TO NICHOLAS.

HE SAYS HE DON'T WANT TO ADMIT IT.

SINCE NICHOLAS WOUND UP D. O. A., HE'D LOOK BAD.

WHAT DID THE WIFE SAY?

SEEMS LIKE SHE DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE SHE HEARD IT HERE.

CAN'T HURT WE CHECK THEM BOTH.

RUN THEIR CARS.

YOU THINK YOU'VE CALMED DOWN ENOUGH?

COULD BE.

WELL, LET'S JUST SAY YOU HAVE.

GO MAKE IT UP WITH MAHONEY.

YEAH, LET ME GO DO THAT.

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT EATING CROW, DANNY.

IT GOES DOWN BEST WITH A SMILE.

YOU SURE THAT'S CROW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT?

YEAH, ISN'T THAT THE PHRASE ?? "CROW?EATING GRIN"?

I'M LOOKING FOR DETECTIVE RUSSELL.

NEXT FLOOR UP.

AHEM. HEY, UH, SARGE,

UM, YOU GOT A MINUTE?

YEAH, I GOT A MINUTE.

UM, CAN WE TALK SOMEWHERE?

NO, RIGHT HERE IS FINE.

AHEM. UM, I WAS OUT OF LINE EARLIER.

YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT YOU WERE.

AND I'M HERE TO APOLOGIZE.

YEAH? WELL, LOOK AT ME THEN.

BETTER HAVE YOUR EYES CHECKED.

NO, I SEE THEM.

I DIDN'T KNOW

THAT GUY WAS IN DANGER FOR HIS LIFE.

YOU DIDN'T PUT THAT IN YOUR NOTE.

SGT. CLANCY, WHO WAS WORKING THE 4:00?12:00,

I TOLD HIM THE DEAL.

IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING HE WAS GOING TO RELAY THAT

TO THE SERGEANT WORKING 12:00?8:00.

I FIGURED THAT, WITH MY NOTE,

WOULD COVER IT.

I WAS PRETTY BUSY IN HERE LAST NIGHT.

I GUESS I... I DIDN'T HEAR

ALL THE PARTICULARS FROM SGT. CLANCY.

I GUESS NOT.

EITHER WAY, THIS FALLS ON ME.

THIS DON'T FALL ON NOBODY.

WHAT HAPPENED IS WHAT HAPPENED.

SORRY TO, UH, CUT SHORT

YOUR TRIP TO ATLANTIC CITY.

I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE LOST MY SHORTS ANYWAY.

HEY, I'M NOT BEING SUED HERE, AM I?

NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

YOU KNOW A NICHOLAS GILBERT?

NO.

HOMELESS GUY, WHITE, 30s,

HANGS OUT IN FRONT OF YOUR DINER ON OCCASION,

SHOPPING CART FULL OF ELECTRONICS.

OH, YEAH ?? WACKO JOE. THAT'S WHAT I CALL HIM.

YOU HAD A RUN?IN WITH HIM LAST NIGHT?

I HAVE A RUN?IN EVERY NIGHT HE COMES BY.

PARKS OUT FRONT, JAWING AT MY CUSTOMERS

ABOUT HOW MEAT IS MURDER OR SOME CRAP.

LAST NIGHT GET A LITTLE HEATED?

WHAT, WACKO JOE'S PRESSING CHARGES?

HOW ABOUT ALL THE TIMES I CALLED THE COPS,

ASKING TO REMOVE THIS BUM FROM IN FRONT?

WHERE ARE YOU GUYS THEN? BUT NO, I GET IT.

DEFINITELY SIDE WITH SOME CRAZY STINKING BUM

AND IGNORE THE TAXPAYING SMALL BUSINESS OWNER.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET BACK TO LAST NIGHT.

DID IT GET A LITTLE HEATED?

YEAH, I GOT PISSED OFF HIM DRIVING OFF A FOUR TOP

BEFORE THEY MOVE UP TO MY DOOR.

YOU TAKE HIM OUT TO THE ALLEY BESIDE YOUR DINER?

YEAH, AND I SMACKED HIM AROUND.

I WANTED HIM TO GET THE MESSAGE.

HE GOT IT.

GOOD. YOU KNOW WHAT?

I DON'T REGRET IT, EITHER.

YOU BRING YOUR BOX CUTTER OUT WITH YOU

WHEN YOU SMACKED HIM AROUND?

MAYBE. I CAN'T REMEMBER.

YOU DON'T REMEMBER BRINGING YOUR BOX CUTTER OUT,

BUT YOU REMEMBER CUTTING NICHOLAS,

WACKO JOE TO YOU?

CUTTING HIM? NO ?? IS THAT WHAT HE'S SAYING?

THEN HE'S LYING.

MAYBE I NICKED HIM WITH SOMETHING,

BUT I DIDN'T CUT HIM, I...YOU KNOW...

THEN I LEFT HIM THERE AND I WENT BACK TO WORK.

NICHOLAS WAS FOUND STABBED AND KILLED

IN THE ALLEY WHERE YOU LEFT HIM.

HEY, I DID NOT KILL THAT GUY.

COME ON, WHY WOULD I THROW MY LIFE AWAY ON HIM?

YOU GOT PISSED OFF, BLOOD PUMPING, YOU LOST IT.

WE CAN UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT DON'T SAY

YOU DON'T REMEMBER DOING IT.

I GET PISSED OFF PLENTY, BUT I'VE NEVER LOST IT.

I OWNED AN IRISH PUB FOR EIGHT YEARS.

BELIEVE ME, IF I WAS EVER GOING

TO LOSE IT WITH A CUSTOMER,

I HAD A THOUSAND CHANCES BACK THEN.

THAT BUM WAS STILL STANDING WHEN I LEFT HIM.

I DID NOT KILL HIM.

THIS IS YOUR PROBLEM. WE GOT WITNESSES

THAT SAW YOU STRANGLING JEFE

UNDER THAT BRIDGE YESTERDAY MORNING.

YOU GUYS SHOULD

PAINT THIS ROOM YELLOW OR SOMETHING.

IT'S DEPRESSING.

Baldwin: WHAT YOU'RE DOING, DIEGO,

OTHER THAN ENTERTAINING US HERE, AND ME HOLDING MY SIDES

BECAUSE YOU'RE SO DAMN FUNNY,

IS YOU'RE MAKING US GO WITH THE VERSION

OUR WITNESSES ARE GIVING US,

AND THAT'S PLENTY TO PUT YOU AWAY.

Greg: YOU GOT A CHANCE TO HELP YOURSELF HERE.

TELL YOUR VERSION OF WHAT HAPPENED WITH JEFE.

MAYBE YOU WERE PROVOKED.

WHAT YOU FINE GENTLEMEN DON'T UNDERSTAND

IS I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON.

I KNOW WHO SAID WHAT,

AND I KNOW WHEN THEY SAID IT.

NICHOLAS, MAURICIO...

OOH, OH, OOH, HOW DOES DIEGO KNOW THAT?

BECAUSE DIEGO CAN SEE FOR MILES,

AND WHAT I SEE IS A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING.

SO IF IT MAKES YOU BOYS HAPPY,

GO AHEAD AND TAKE OUT YOUR BAG OF TRICKS

AND PERFORM FOR ME.

I WON'T BE OFFENDED.

DO YOU MIND IF I TAKE A CRACK?

IT'S YOUR GUYS' CASE.

WE BETTER GET ANDY.

LOOK AT ME, DIEGO.

YOU'RE GOING TO COP TO KILLING JEFE.

YOU'RE A VERY UNHAPPY PERSON.

HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO.

DID YOU STRANGLE JEFE UNDER THE BRIDGE YESTERDAY?

FIRST, WE GOT TO TALK ABOUT THIS UNHAPPINESS

THAT'S EATING AWAY AT YOU. UHH!

Andy: DANNY!

WE GOT ALL DAY.

DID YOU KILL JEFE?

WE ARGUED, THEN WE FOUGHT. MAYBE I FOUGHT TOO HARD.

THEN YOU KILLED NICHOLAS LAST NIGHT

TO SHUT HIM UP, RIGHT?

NICHOLAS MEANS NOTHING TO ME.

WHAT COULD HE DO THAT WOULD BE A THREAT?

I DID JEFE, BUT I DIDN'T DO NICHOLAS.

HITTING ME MORE ISN'T GOING TO MAKE ME LIE AND SAY I DID.

2 D. O. A. s, APARTMENT, EAST 13th. YOU'RE UP.

I TALKED WITH THAT DINER OWNER ?? LEONARD PLUTO.

ADMITS SMACKING NICHOLAS AROUND

BUT SWEARS HE DIDN'T KILL HIM.

WE'RE WAITING ON THE M.E. TO SAY

IF THE WOUNDS ARE CONSISTENT WITH PLUTO'S BOX CUTTER.

ALL RIGHT, HOLD OFF GOING TO THE D. A.

TILL WE HEAR FROM THE M.E.

YOU WANT ME AND GREG TO GO WITH DIANE, BOSS?

WHAT ELSE ARE YOU DOING?

ANDY AND DANNY TOOK OVER DIEGO

SO WE'RE MORE OR LESS FREE.

SO I GUESS YOU ANSWERED YOUR OWN QUESTION.

THAT MEAN WE SHOULD GO?

COME ON, GREG.

COULD'VE JUST SAID YES.

HOW'D IT GO WITH DIEGO?

GOT HIS STATEMENT HERE.

HE GAVE IT UP ON JEFE.

WHAT ABOUT NICHOLAS?

SAYS HE DIDN'T KILL NICHOLAS.

WE GOT THE SON?IN?LAW COMING BACK IN.

SO I'M ASSUMING EVERYTHING'S CLEAR WITH YOU AND MAHONEY.

YEAH.

Arthur: GOOD.

HEY, JOHN, ANY CHANCE

YOU CAN LOOK AFTER THEO AGAIN TONIGHT?

YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT?

AS A MATTER OF FACT...

IS THIS THE SAME WOMAN? IF YOU DON'T MIND MY ASKING.

IT'S THE SAME. CAN YOU DO IT OR NOT?

SURE. I'LL GET SOME NEW PUZZLES.

SAY, 7:00?

WITH BELLS ON.

MR. GILBERT, HOW YOU DOING?

ANYTHING ABOUT NICKY?

NOTHING SOLID YET.

HAVE YOU GOT A MINUTE TO TALK

ABOUT SOMETHING UNRELATED?

YEAH, SURE, COME ON.

THERE YOU GO.

I NEED YOUR HELP.

DIDN'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO GO.

WELL, THAT'S OKAY, MR. GILBERT.

WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?

MY WIFE DIED FIVE YEARS AGO,

MY POOR DEAR BOY IS STABBED TO DEATH IN AN ALLEY,

MY DAUGHTER'S MARRIED TO A DEGENERATE GAMBLER,

SUBSTANCE ABUSER.

WHAT IS IT YOU WANT US TO DO, MR. GILBERT?

YOU SEE, THE KIDS' TRUSTS GIVES THEM THEIR MONEY

WHEN THEY HIT 30 LIKE ELLIE JUST DID.

LAST TWO YEARS, SHE AND ROSS

HAVE BORROWED SO MUCH AGAINST IT,

THERE'S JUST HALF A MILLION DOLLARS LEFT

OF THE ORIGINAL THREE.

NOW WITH NICKY GONE, HIS PART GOES TO HER,

SO SHE AND ROSS WILL PISS THAT AWAY, TOO.

WHY DON'T YOU CHANGE THE WILL?

IT'S MY WIFE'S WILL, DETECTIVE.

THE TRUSTS ARE INVIOLABLE.

I'M THE EXECUTOR,

BUT ANYTIME I TRY TO PUT MY FOOT DOWN,

ELLIE STOPS TALKING TO ME.

I WAS THINKING MAYBE YOU COULD ARREST HIM.

ARREST ROSS IN REGARDS TO THIS DRUG USE?

NO, NO, NO. I WAS THINKING

MAYBE YOU COULD ARREST HIS BOOKIE BOGO.

BOGO?

LAST YEAR SO ROSS DIDN'T GET HIS LEGS BROKEN,

I FILLED A GYM BAG WITH $300,000 CASH

FOR THIS BOGO,

AND 10 DAYS AGO HE CALLED ME,

SAYS ROSS OWES HIM ANOTHER $350,000.

SO YOU'RE THINKING IF WE ARREST THIS GUY,

THEN ROSS WON'T HAVE TO PAY HIM BACK?

I'M THINKING I'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING,

OR ROSS WILL PISS AWAY HER ENTIRE INHERITANCE.

YOU GOT A NUMBER ON THIS BOGO?

I'VE GOT HIS PAGER.

YOU THINK BOGO COULD'VE HAD SOMETHING TO DO

WITH YOUR SON'S DEATH?

I JUST DON'T KNOW.

HEY.

D.O.A.s ARE IN THE BEDROOM.

NAMES ?? YVONNE AND PABLO RUIZ.

IT'S THEIR APARTMENT.

WHO CALLED IT IN?

SUPER.

I'LL TALK TO HER.

HELLO. I'M DETECTIVE JONES.

I DON'T GOT ALL DAY.

I GOT TWO DRAINS, SIX LIGHT BULBS,

AND A CLOGGED TOILET TO DEAL WITH.

LADY, WE GOT TWO PEOPLE DEAD IN THERE.

DON'T CALL ME "LADY," ALL RIGHT, PAL?

I'M JUST SAYING I GOT WORK TO DO.

WELL, I'M NOT ON VACATION HERE, EITHER.

NOW YOU AND ME ARE GOING TO TALK.

SHOT IN THE BACK, PROBABLY RUNNING FOR THE DOOR.

POWDER BURNS AROUND THE LEFT TEMPLE.

IT'S DEFINITELY A CONTACT WOUND.

BULLET EXITED THE HEAD AND WENT THROUGH THE WINDOW.

FIGURE A MURDER/SUICIDE?

LOOKS LIKE.

IT'S FUNNY HOW THEY NEVER DO IT STANDING UP.

FALLING'S THE SCARY PART. MAYBE SCRAPE A KNEE.

MY MARRIAGE TO MARIE WAS NO WALK IN THE PARK,

BUT THIS IS TAKING IT TOO FAR.

YVONNE AND HER HUSBAND GET ALONG?

YOU EVER HEAR THEM FIGHT?

NEVER HEARD ANY COMPLAINTS.

SHE WAS A CUTE LITTLE THING, SMART, TOO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE SEES IN HIM.

THE OFFICER SAID IT WAS YOU WHO FOUND THE BODIES.

GOT A CALL FROM JILL ??

LIVES IN 6?D, WORKS WITH YVONNE.

SHE DIDN'T SHOW UP TODAY. WOULD I TAKE A LOOK?

WHERE DOES SHE WORK?

CITIWIDE COURIER ?? ON THE RADIO,

SENDS PEOPLE OUT... DISPATCH.

NO ONE AROUND HERE HEARD ANY SHOTS?

NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE THIS,

UNLESS YOU HEAR FOUR OR FIVE SHOTS,

YOU JUST FIGURE IT'S A JUNKER BACKFIRING.

OKAY, ANNIE, THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

AFTER CRIME SCENE GETS FINISHED,

GET THIS COMPUTER TO TARU.

HAVE THEM CHECK OUT THE HARD DRIVE.

LOOK AT THIS.

THE SUPER SAID THE WIFE WORKED DISPATCH AT CITIWIDE COURIER.

ISN'T THAT THE SAME PLACE WHERE HARRY DENBY WORKS?

YEAH, IT'S A BIG COMPANY, GREG.

SO, I HOPE YOUR INVITING ME BACK IS A GOOD SIGN.

OKAY, LET'S GO BACK TO LAST NIGHT, ROSS.

MY CONVERSATION WITH NICK.

YEAH. ACTUALLY, WE'RE WONDERING

ABOUT AFTER YOUR CONVERSATION WITH NICK.

WHAT'D YOU DO THEN?

ME? I WENT BACK TO SLEEP.

YOU SEE, ROSS, THAT'S ANOTHER LIE,

'CAUSE SOMEBODY DROVE YOUR S. U. V. INTO THE CITY.

SEE, EVERY TIME YOU PASS THE TOLLBOOTH,

THE MAGNETIC STRIP ON YOUR EZ?PASS REGISTERS

WHETHER YOU USE IT OR NOT.

YOU PASSED THROUGH THE TUNNEL AT 2:56.

OKAY, UH, AFTER I TALKED TO NICK,

I COULDN'T GET BACK TO SLEEP,

AND I CALLED MY FAVORITE ESCORT SERVICE.

YOU DROVE ALL THE WAY INTO THE CITY TO SEE A HOOKER?

I'VE BEEN MARRIED SIX YEARS, DETECTIVE.

I WORK IN THE CITY. THAT'S WHO I KNOW TO CALL.

YOU KNOW A BOOKMAKER NAMED BOGO?

JEEZ. HOW'D YOU GUYS GET THAT ONE?

WE TALKED TO BOGO.

YOUR FATHER?IN?LAW'S SCARED

YOU'RE GOING TO PISS AWAY YOUR WIFE'S TRUST.

LISTEN, ELLIE SPENT ENOUGH HERSELF.

SHE'S THE ONE WHO KEEPS

GOING BACK TO THE OLD MAN FOR MONEY.

HOW ABOUT THE TIME YOU GOT ARRESTED

FOR COPPING DRUGS DOWN ON AVENUE C?

I THREW A DISK PLAYING HOCKEY AT DARTMOUTH.

THE SURGERY DIDN'T HELP AS MUCH AS THE PAIN PILLS,

BUT I'M CLEAN 14 MONTHS GOING TO MEETINGS,

AND COFFEE IS MY ONLY REMAINING ADJUSTABLE VICE.

HOW ABOUT THE GAMBLING?

BOGO, RIGHT?

WELL, HE MUST HAVE TOLD YOU I OWE HIM MORE MONEY.

YOU'RE A SMART GUY, ROSS. YOU SEE HOW THIS LOOKS, HUH?

YOU USE UP MOST OF YOUR WIFE'S TRUST.

YOU OWE BOGO ANOTHER WAD.

THAT WOULD JUST ABOUT CLEAN YOU OUT,

BUT IF SOMETHING SHOULD BEFALL HER CRAZY BROTHER,

SHE GETS HIS SHARE.

NOW, NICHOLAS CALLS YOU. GUYS ARE AFTER HIM.

YOU FIGURE IT'S YOUR CHANCE. WHO'S GOING TO KNOW?

SO YOU KILL HIM.

I'M THINKING MAYBE I SHOULD GET A LAWYER.

IF YOU WANT A LAWYER, THAT'S UP TO YOU.

YOUR CAR DOWNSTAIRS?

WE ALREADY GOT A WARRANT TO SEARCH THAT.

IT'S GETTING IMPOUNDED AS WE SPEAK.

NEXT WE SEARCH YOUR HOUSE FOR THE KNIFE,

FOR BLOOD TRACES, FOR DNA.

IT'S UP TO YOU WHETHER YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN TO US WHAT HAPPENED.

I WENT TO SEE HIM.

I MEAN NICK. I THOUGHT, THIS IS MY SHOT.

I COULD BRING HIM HOME.

I COULD BE A HERO TO JOHN.

MEANTIME, YEAH, I COULD WORK ON HIM.

HE DIDN'T WANT THAT MONEY. IT WAS JUST SITTING THERE.

SO YOU BROUGHT A KNIFE?

NICK WAS TALKING ABOUT THESE GUYS COMING TO KILL HIM.

I FIGURED I SHOULD HAVE PROTECTION.

I FOUND HIM OUTSIDE THE DINER.

I SAID WE COULD TAKE HIS SHOPPING CART IN MY TRUCK,

BUT HE DIDN'T WANT TO COME.

NO, HE FLIPPED OUT, JUST CAME AT ME.

I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT HE WOULD HAVE KILLED ME.

I HAD NO CHOICE.

I WAS IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE.

OKAY, THAT'S GOOD.

WHY DON'T YOU WRITE THAT ONE DOWN?

AND WE'LL MAKE A CALL TO THE D. A.

THIS GUY IN THERE THINKS HE'S PUTTING ONE OVER

ON US DUMB COPS WITH THAT STORY.

TRY AND RELAX, DANNY.

I CAN'T. I FEEL LIKE I'M INVOLVED.

YEAH, I GOT THAT.

ARE YOU SAYING YOU NEVER TUNED ANYONE UP

THAT YOU KNEW WAS GUILTY?

THE POINT IS, THAT'S ALL IT WAS,

NOT ABOUT GETTING OUT YOUR FRUSTRATIONS,

LOSING YOUR HEAD.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT I WAS DOING.

OKAY, THEN.

LONG AS YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

I JUST SAID I DID.

OKAY.

I'M WRITING IT ALL DOWN, AS PLAIN AS I CAN.

WE GOT A LITTLE PROBLEM, ROSS.

WHAT KIND OF PROBLEM?

WE JUST SPOKE WITH THE D. A.,

WHO TALKED TO THE MEDICAL EXAMINER.

SEEMS LIKE NICHOLAS' WOUNDS AREN'T CONSISTENT TO YOUR STORY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

HE'S GOT CUTS ALL OVER HIS FINGERS,

WHICH THE M.E. MAKES AS DEFENSIVE WOUNDS,

PLUS HE'S GOT TWO ENTRY WOUNDS IN THE BACK.

THAT DON'T MATCH UP TOO WELL

WITH YOUR CLAIM OF SELF?DEFENSE.

I DON'T KNOW IF I'D WANT TO GO UP

AGAINST A JURY WITH THAT,

NOT ON A CHARGE OF MURDER ONE.

YOU GOT TO HELP YOURSELF HERE, ROSS.

HOW?

TRY THE TRUTH.

YOU HAD PRESSING DEBTS. YOU WERE GETTING THREATENED.

YOU GOT A DRUG PROBLEM. YOU WEREN'T IN YOUR RIGHT MIND.

I HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING REMOTELY LIKE THIS BEFORE.

NO, YOU'LL PROBABLY NEVER DO NOTHING LIKE IT AGAIN.

I'LL MAKE A STATEMENT EXPLAINING HOW IT WAS

JUST SOME INSANE, SPUR?OF?THE?MOMENT THING.

THAT'S PROBABLY YOUR BEST TACTIC.

WOULD YOU TALK TO MY WIFE AND HER DAD

ABOUT GETTING ME A LAWYER?

SURE. WE'LL DO THAT.

NOW WRITE THE TRUTH.

THE, UH, COUPLE OVER ON EAST 13th?

PRELIMINARY M.E. REPORT TAGS IT MURDER/SUICIDE.

YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT?

JUST THE WIFE WORKS DISPATCH AT CITIWIDE COURIER,

SAME AS HARRY DENBY.

I MADE A CALL.

DENBY'S BEEN MOVED TO DISPATCH,

SAME OFFICE AS THE D. O. A.

PLUS, TARU'S CHECKING HER P. C.

SENT A PRINTOUT OF HER E?MAIL ADDRESSES.

hdenby@citiwidecourier.com.

THEY'RE WORKING TOGETHER. THAT COULD EXPLAIN IT.

DID THEY FIND ANY CORRESPONDENCE?

IF THERE WERE, SHE MUST HAVE DELETED IT.

TARU'S STILL WORKING ON IT.

MEANTIME, I LEFT WORD FOR DENBY.

ROSS MADE A STATEMENT.

ELLEN TELLS ME YOU BROUGHT ROSS BACK

FOR MORE QUESTIONS.

UH, MR. GILBERT,

I'M VALERIE HAYWARD WITH THE D. A.'s OFFICE.

WE JUST TOOK A VIDEO STATEMENT FROM HIM.

A STATEMENT? WHAT KIND OF STATEMENT?

SAYING...

HE KILLED YOUR SON.

OH, MY GOD.

I TOLD ROSS I'D ASK YOU FOR HIM ??

HE WANTED HELP GETTING A LAWYER.

ROSS WANTS US TO HELP HIM GET A LAWYER?

HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO KILL ME NEXT.

THAT'S YOUR ANSWER, DETECTIVE.

TELL ROSS HE'S ON HIS OWN.

I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

DADDY, I'M SO SORRY.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

OH, DETECTIVE,

NICKY KEPT A PHOTO OF THE TWO OF US.

DID YOU SEE IT AMONG HIS THINGS?

CONSIDERING ROSS HAS ALREADY GIVEN A STATEMENT,

I DON'T SEE HOW IT COULD HURT

IF YOU CAN FIND IT.

DETECTIVE SORENSON? PHONE.

SORENSON.

IS THIS THE ONE?

THANK YOU.

YOU CAN'T TELL ME ON THE PHONE?

NO.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL COME AND MEET YOU. WHEN?

THAT WAS DENBY.

HE'S OUTSIDE. HE WANTS TO SEE ME ALONE.

THAT'S PROBABLY OFF MY LEAVING HIM TWO MESSAGES

ABOUT THIS D. O. A.

HE WORKED WITH AT CITIWIDE COURIER.

DIANE, I'M NOT MOVING IN ON YOUR CASE.

HE ASKED TO TALK TO ME. YOU WANT ME TO SEE HIM OR NOT?

THAT SHOULD BE ME HE'S TALKING TO.

THEN BY ALL MEANS, YOU GO DOWN AND TALK TO HIM.

THE D. O. A.'s NAME IS YVONNE RUIZ.

SHE AND HER HUSBAND LOOK LIKE A MURDER/SUICIDE,

BUT SHE'S GOT DENBY'S E?MAIL ADDRESS IN HER COMPUTER.

I GOT IT.

THANKS FOR MEETING ME.

YEAH, GREAT. I WOULDN'T MISS YOU.

OOH, I DETECT A NOTE OF SARCASM.

IT'S COLD OUT, DENBY.

A COWORKER OF MINE DIED TODAY ?? YVONNE RUIZ.

I GOT A MESSAGE FROM DETECTIVE RUSSELL.

I FIGURE SHE CAUGHT THE CASE.

SO THEN YOU ALSO FIGURE

YOU'D TALK TO ME AND NOT DETECTIVE RUSSELL.

YVONNE RUIZ WAS

A VERY ATTRACTIVE YOUNG WOMAN.

SHE CAME ON TO ME.

WITH MY LOW SELF?ESTEEM, I CAN'T RESIST THAT.

SO YOU HAD AN AFFAIR, RIGHT?

WHAT DID HER HUSBAND THINK?

YVONNE COMPLETELY MISREPRESENTED

HER DOMESTIC SITUATION.

WHEN I FOUND OUT SHE WAS MARRIED,

I BROKE IT OFF, BUT HER HUSBAND FOUND OUT.

SHE TOLD YOU THAT.

HE CAME TO SEE ME.

HE THREATENED IF I EVER LAID HANDS ON YVONNE AGAIN,

HE'D, UH, WHAT WAS IT?

SLICE MY BALLS OFF.

VERY DRAMATIC,

THOUGH, IN HINDSIGHT,

I GUESS HE DID HAVE A VIOLENT STREAK.

BEING HOW HE KILLED HER.

I STILL DON'T GET HOW COME YOU'RE TALKING TO ME

IF THIS IS DETECTIVE RUSSELL'S CASE.

COME ON, DANNY. A MURDER/SUICIDE,

ME COMING FORTH TO ADMIT A ROMANTIC ENTANGLEMENT ??

CONSIDERING MY PAST WITH DIANE,

IT COULD GET MESSY.

WHAT'S WITH THESE VEILED COMMENTS

YOU'RE ALWAYS MAKING, DENBY, HUH?

WHY DON'T YOU COME OUT AND JUST SAY WHAT YOU MEAN?

SHE'S YOUR GIRL NOW. I CAN'T REVEAL TO YOU

ANY OF HER MYSTERIES OR TALENTS

THAT YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY DISCOVERED YOURSELF,

THOUGH I MUST ADMIT,

WITH A GORGEOUS WOMAN LIKE DIANE,

I AM TEMPTED TO COMPARE NOTES.

I'M NOT.

PERHAPS SOME OTHER TIME.

WHAT DID DENBY HAVE TO SAY?

HE WAS BANGING THE D. O. A.

THAT'S IT?

YOU MEAN OTHER THAN REMINISCING BACK

WHEN YOU AND HIM USED TO PLAY BOUNCY?BOUNCY?

AND YOU BELIEVE THAT?

WHATEVER, DIANE. DOESN'T MATTER.

OH, IT DOESN'T.

NONE OF MY BUSINESS.

YOU KNOW WHAT, DANNY?

GROW UP.

IT'S AN INSULT, DANNY.

YOU REALLY THINK I'D SLEEP WITH SOMEONE LIKE DENBY?

I DON'T KNOW, DIANE. ALL I KEPT HEARING ABOUT

IS HOW YOU WERE STILL HUNG UP ON BOBBY.

AND YOU THINK THAT WAS ALL CRAP?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I THINK.

YOU'RE BEING SUCH AN ASSHOLE, DANNY!

I'M AN ASSHOLE?

I'M SORRY THINGS DIDN'T WORK OUT WITH US.

DOESN'T GIVE YOU A LICENSE TO ACT LIKE A 2?YEAR?OLD.

AND WHATEVER TROUBLES YOU'VE HAD

IS NO EXCUSE FOR YOU ACTING ANY WAY YOU WANT NOW.

I DON'T OWE YOU AN EXPLANATION.

GOOD, 'CAUSE I'M NOT LISTENING.

[ DOOR SLAMS ]

[ FOOTSTEPS ]

[ DOOR SLAMS ]

THERE'S THIS BOXER GYM OVER ON THIRD ?? THE LIDO.

HOW ABOUT WE GO DOWN THERE?

YOU CAN TAKE IT OUT ON THE HEAVY BAG,

I'LL YELL AT YOU TO KEEP YOUR LEFT UP.

NO, I'M GOOD RIGHT HERE.

[ SIGHS ]

YOU'RE HEADING FOR TROUBLE. THE ONLY QUESTION IS,

HOW DEEP A HOLE ARE YOU GOING TO DIG,

AND IF IT'S GOING TO END UP BEING ONE

THAT YOU CAN'T GET BACK OUT OF.

ANDY, YOU GOT TO LET ME RIDE THIS OUT ON MY OWN.

YOU MAY NOT LIKE IT, BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT IS.

I CAN DO THAT.

THEN IT LOOKS LIKE WE GOT A DEAL.

WELL...

YOU KNOW WHO TO GO TO IF YOU NEED ANYTHING.

THANKS.

I'M GLAD HE WARNED ME.

ABOUT WHAT?

ABOUT COPS.

OR DOES THAT TERM NOT APPLY TO YOU

'CAUSE YOU'RE A DETECTIVE?

NO, "COPS" IS FINE. WHAT DID HE WARN YOU ABOUT?

THAT YOU ONLY REALLY OPEN UP TO OTHER COPS.

I'VE BEEN A LITTLE QUIET?

A LITTLE, WHICH IS FINE,

BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU CAN SHARE ANYTHING WITH ME

IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT.

MY PARTNER, UH...

HE WAS SEEING SOMEBODY.

THEY BROKE IT OFF AND, UH...

HE'S NOT DOING TOO GOOD ABOUT IT.

THE DANGER WITH THAT ON THIS JOB

IS THAT IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN...

TAKE IT OUT ON SOMEBODY.

THAT'S RIGHT.

20 YEARS AGO,

WHAT HAPPENED IN A ROOM STAYED THERE.

NOW YOU'RE IN THE NEWS.

AND OFF THE JOB.

I'M SORRY I'VE BEEN PREOCCUPIED.

IT'S OKAY.

DO YOU HAVE TIME TO COME UP FOR A LITTLE WHILE?

I GOT A BABYSITTER WHO'S WAITING.

GO HOME.

I HAD A GREAT NIGHT, THOUGH.

SO DID I.

THANKS.
