PREVIOUSLY ON "NYPD BLUE"...

I THINK I KNOW THIS GIRL.

FROM WHERE?

SHE'S AN AUXILIARY COP.

HEATHER PETERSON'S DIARY.

THESE ARE GUYS SHE WAS SLEEPING WITH.

THE SUBHEADING SAYS "15th."

COPS FROM THE 15th?

COME CLEAN, AND WE'LL LOOK PAST

WHAT A SCUMBAG YOU WERE WITH THIS GIRL,

BUT YOU KEEP WASTING OUR TIME,

AND IT'S NOT US YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH?? IT'S I. A. B.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO GET AHEAD OF THINGS,

BUT I ALWAYS SAID THAT IF I EVER GOT A SECOND CHANCE,

I'D DO WHATEVER IT TOOK NOT TO SCREW IT UP.

I'D BE LYING IF I SAID I HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT YOU, TOO,

BUT LET'S GO SLOW.

SLOW IS GOOD.

MORNING.

CARLA SOLOMON. HER PLACE.

APPARENT SUICIDE.

NOTE OR ANYTHING?

NO. NEIGHBOR SAID SHE'D BEEN DEPRESSED LATELY.

DO US A FAVOR AND BRING THE NEIGHBOR IN, ALL RIGHT?

[ SIGHS ]

NICE GUN. LOOKS PRICEY.

SUICIDE? SURE.

WENDI NEELS.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION ON POLICE RADIO ]

DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ, CLARK.

HOW WELL DID YOU KNOW HER? PRETTY WELL.

YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT HER BEING DOWN LATELY?

CARLA WAS A CASEWORKER FOR CHILD SERVICES,

AND SOMETIMES IT REALLY GOT TO HER.

DID SHE SAY SHE WANTED TO KILL HERSELF SPECIFICALLY?

UH, MORE LIKE SHE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE WAKING UP SOMETIMES.

SHE DATING ANYONE YOU KNOW OF?

NO. SHE WORKED ALL THE TIME.

SOME NIGHTS SHE WOULDN'T COME HOME UNTIL 5:00 A. M.

I'M SORRY. [ CRYING ]

WE'RE GONNA NEED HER INFORMATION.

NO KIDDING.

WHAT IS IT?? THAT TIME OF THE MONTH?

YEAH, THAT'S IT.

IS THERE A PROBLEM?

NO PROBLEM AT ALL, DETECTIVE.

GO HAVE A BUG UP YOUR ASS SOMEWHERE ELSE.

[ HORN HONKS IN DISTANCE ]

YOUR FAULT, WHATEVER IT IS.

ALL RIGHT. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE, HUH?

IS ANYBODY MAN ENOUGH TO SAY IT TO OUR FACE?

MAN ENOUGH? YOU GUYS GOT SOME BALLS.

SHANNON...

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? YOU KNOW.

I THINK IT'S APPARENT WE DON'T.

ALL THOSE COPS YOU TALKED TO ABOUT SLEEPING WITH THAT AUXILIARY COP??

THE ONES YOU PROMISED

YOU WOULDN'T TAKE IT TO INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

EACH ONE OF US HAS BEEN NOTIFIED TO REPORT TO THEM.

IT DIDN'T COME FROM US.

YOU TELLING LAUGHLIN TO PUT IN HIS PAPERS

OR YOU'D TAKE IT TO I. A. B.

HE DID RETIRE, AND HE STILL GOT CALLED DOWN THERE.

WHY WOULD WE NOTIFY INTERNAL AFFAIRS, SHANNON, HUH?

THEN WHO TOLD THEM, JIMINY CRICKET?

MAYBE IT WAS ONE OF YOU GUYS.

NO. NO WAY.

NEXT TIME THERE'S A PROBLEM IN HIS COMMAND,

I'M SURE THE CAPTAIN WOULD RATHER KNOW UP FRONT

INSTEAD OF HEARING ABOUT IT FROM DOWNTOWN.

MAYBE YOU COULD EXTEND THAT COURTESY TO HIM.

WE DIDN'T GO TO INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

START LOOKING SOMEWHERE ELSE 'CAUSE IT WASN'T US.

RATS!

YOU'RE WRONG ON THIS!

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

THANKS.

THE SUPERVISOR AT CHILD SERVICES IS ON HER WAY UP.

WHO THE HELL WOULD HAVE NOTIFIED I. A. B.?

IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE COPS TRYING TO WORK A DEAL.

KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR WHOEVER DOESN'T TAKE A HIT??

HE'S YOUR BOY.

I HOPE THEY FIND SOMEBODY QUICK.

AS LONG AS THEY THINK IT'S US,

THEY'RE GONNA KEEP MAKING OUR LIFE MISERABLE.

THERE'S A LIMIT TO HOW MUCH OF IT I'LL TAKE.

MARIA BURGESS.

DETECTIVE McDOWELL. WE SPOKE ON THE PHONE.

HI.

THESE ARE ALL THE FILES ON THE REMOVALS CARLA DID?

THESE ARE ALL THE FILES ON KELLY COLES?? A SON OF A BITCH.

HE THREATENED HER NUMEROUS TIMES.

CARLA'S NEIGHBOR SAID SHE HAD BEEN DEPRESSED LATELY.

IS THAT VALID AS FAR AS YOU KNEW?

SHE TOOK SOME CASES PRETTY HARD, BUT YESTERDAY WAS A GOOD DAY.

CARLA REUNITED A MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.

SHE WAS REALLY HAPPY. YOU THINKING IT WAS A SUICIDE?

IT'S AN AVENUE WE'RE EXPLORING.

WHERE ARE THE REST OF THE FILES?

THERE'S 10 MORE BOXES DOWNSTAIRS.

THE OFFICER SAID YOU COULD COME DOWN AND GET THEM.

WE APPRECIATE THE HELP, MISS BURGESS.

A LOT OF CASEWORKERS GET DETACHED AFTER A WHILE

TO PROTECT THEMSELVES, BUT CARLA??

SHE CARED.

NOW, SHE NEVER STOPPED CARING.

I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'D TAKE HER OWN LIFE.

WE'RE GONNA DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.

THEY'RE GONNA START PLAYING GAMES DOWNSTAIRS NOW?

WHEN IT AFFECTS OUR ABILITY TO DO THE JOB,

THEN I'LL GET INVOLVED. MEANTIME, GET THE FILES.

ANY REMOVALS, ANY CONFRONTATIONS, PRIORITIZE.

START GETTING THESE PARENTS IN.

MAY I HELP YOU, MA'AM?

DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ.

YEAH. RIGHT HERE.

OH, HI. I'M RUTH DWYER.

PAUL DWYER'S WIFE. WE MET A LONG TIME AGO.

OH, SURE. HOW ARE YOU?

COULD WE TALK IN THE COFFEE ROOM?

YEAH, SURE.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

PLEASE.

WHEW.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.

YOU'LL HAVE TO FORGIVE ME. I HAVEN'T HAD MY COFFEE YET.

HOW DO WE KNOW EACH OTHER AGAIN?

PAUL USED TO WORK HERE AT THE 15th.

HE RETIRED RIGHT AFTER YOU MADE DETECTIVE.

OH, OKAY. NOW I GOT IT. YEAH.

YOU WERE AT HIS RETIREMENT RACKET.

ABSOLUTELY. I APOLOGIZE.

HOW'S PAUL DOING?

HE PASSED AWAY LAST WEEK.

I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.

I HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE 15th IN 20 YEARS.

LONG TIME.

THIS WAS HIS HOME AWAY FROM HOME.

I KNOW THE FEELING.

SO, UH, RUTH, IS THERE ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR THAT...

PAUL'S LAST WISH?? ACTUALLY, IT WASN'T HIS LAST WISH??

HE'S BEEN TELLING ME

THAT THIS IS WHAT HE WANTED FOR A LONG TIME??

WAS TO HAVE HALF HIS ASHES BURIED HERE AT THE 15th SQUAD.

EITHER KEPT IN A CABINET OR BURIED UNDER A TILE.

ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES.

HE TOLD ME TO TALK TO YOU. HE LIKED YOU.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

UH, THE OTHER HALF?

ON OUR MANTEL.

SURE.

20 YEARS HE WAS AWAY FROM THIS JOB,

BUT HE STILL TALKED ABOUT IT EVERY DAY.

THEY WERE HIS BEST MEMORIES.

WELL, UH, RUTH, I'M GONNA HAVE TO CLEAR THIS WITH MY BOSS.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA,

BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT HE'S GONNA SAY.

OKAY.

OH.

I'M GONNA BE STAYING IN TOWN WITH MY SISTER

FOR A FEW DAYS.

HERE YOU GO.

I'LL CALL YOU AS SOON AS I HEAR.

UH...

DO YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE HIM HERE?

NO, YOU TAKE HIM WITH YOU FOR SAFEKEEPING.

THANK YOU. THIS'LL MEAN SO MUCH TO HIM.

I STILL GOTTA CLEAR IT WITH THE BOSS,

BUT I'M GONNA DO EVERYTHING I CAN.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

UH, RESPECT FOR THE DEAD??

THAT'S A BIG LATIN THING, RIGHT?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

THIS LADY'S HUSBAND DIED LAST WEEK.

HE HAD A LOT OF YEARS ON THE JOB.

MOST OF THEM HERE AT THE 15th.

I GUESS THEY MOVED UP TO NYACK??

ANDY...

HE WANTED HALF HIS ASHES KEPT HERE IN THE SQUAD.

YOU'RE SERIOUS?

YEAH?? I TOLD HER

I WAS GONNA HAVE TO CLEAR IT WITH YOU FIRST.

HIS ASHES? IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

WE HAVE HER OVER, THEN WHEN SHE LEAVES,

WE STICK THE URN IN THE BACK OF A FILE CABINET.

NO BIG DEAL.

YEAH. NEXT THING,

SOME OLD DESK OFFICE IS GONNA WANT TO BE STUFFED AND MOUNTED.

IT WAS HIS LAST DYING WISH.

OH, YEAH. GO AHEAD AND LAY THAT ON ME.

OKAY. SO, WHAT? I TELL HER NO?

[ SIGHS ]

WHAT KIND OF A DETECTIVE WAS HE?

I, UH, I DON'T REMEMBER HIM THAT MUCH.

I THINK GIBSON KNEW HIM A LITTLE, THOUGH.

I'LL CHECK WITH HIM. HIS DYING WISH.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL RUN IT BY BUILDING MAINTENANCE, OKAY?

WE'LL LET THEM CALL IT.

[ SIGHS ]

KELLY COLES.

THAT'S ME.

YOU GENERATED A FAIR BIT OF PAPERWORK FOR CHILD SERVICES.

WAS CARLA SOLOMON YOUR CASEWORKER? YEAH.

WHAT WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE?

I'M SURE YOU GOT A GOOD IDEA.

THIS IS HER VERSION. WHAT'S YOURS?

SHE GOT A LITTLE OBSESSED WITH MY FAMILY,

KEPT STICKING HER NOSE IN IT.

'CAUSE SHE HAD NOTHING BETTER TO DO? ASK HER.

YOU DON'T THINK IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO

WITH YOUR SON SHOWING UP WITH A BROKEN NOSE,

YOUR DAUGHTER ADMITTED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WITH 2nd?DEGREE BURNS,

NEIGHBORS CALLING THE COPS ON YOU 15 TIMES

BECAUSE THEY HEARD SCREAMING AND HITTING?

THE OTHER DAUGHTER TELLING THE SCHOOL COUNSELOR

YOU HELD HER HEAD UNDERWATER FOR BREAKING A PLATE?

WHEN MISS SOLOMON FINALLY HAD YOUR KIDS REMOVED,

DID YOU THREATEN HER?

I DON'T MAKE THREATS.

"I'LL KILL YOU, BITCH." THAT DOESN'T QUALIFY?

ARE YOU A HUNTER?

YEAH.

ANOTHER REASON YOUR CHILDREN WERE REMOVED

WAS BECAUSE THERE WERE GUNS AND AMMUNITION IN THE APARTMENT

THAT WEREN'T LOCKED UP.

YEAH, AND THEY'RE LOCKED UP NOW.

DID YOU STOP BY MISS SOLOMON'S APARTMENT LAST NIGHT?

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE SHE LIVES. WHAT'S GOING ON?!

WE FOUND MISS SOLOMON'S BODY THIS MORNING.

WASN'T ME, FELLAS.

WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?

WORK, THEN I STOPPED FOR A FEW DRINKS, THEN I WENT HOME.

WHO CAN VERIFY THAT?

MY WIFE AND KIDS. ASK 'EM.

YOU REGAINED CUSTODY OF YOUR CHILDREN?

YEAH. NOW, EITHER YOU LET ME LEAVE OR I'M CALLING A LAWYER.

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

ANDREW TAYLOR.

HE'D LIKE A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME REGARDING ANGELA LUKO.

SURE. SEND HIM IN.

HI. ANDREW TAYLOR.

TONY RODRIGUEZ. COME IN.

I'M ANGELA'S EX?HUSBAND AS OF SIX MONTHS AGO.

YEAH, I KNOW.

SO, SHE TOLD YOU ABOUT ME?

OBVIOUSLY.

A MUTUAL FRIEND SAID SHE'D BEEN SEEING YOU AGAIN.

SO YOU'RE HERE TO...

ACTUALLY, SOMETHING COME UP IN OUR DIVORCE PROCEEDING.

AND BEING A POLICE OFFICER,

I WAS HOPING YOU COULD TALK TO HER

AND CONVINCE HER IT'S BEST IT STAY OUT OF COURT.

WOULDN'T THIS BE SOMETHING FOR YOUR ATTORNEYS?

WE'RE PAST THAT.

SHE TOOK A CAR THAT WASN'T HERS?? A BMW.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE AT MY HOUSE, BUT IT'S NOT.

AND IF SHE DOESN'T RETURN IT OR IF SHE SOLD IT,

THERE'S GONNA BE LEGAL ACTION.

IT SOUNDS TO ME

LIKE SOMETHING BETTER HANDLED BY YOUR ATTORNEYS.

TONY, IF SHE SOLD THE CAR FOR MONEY TO BUY COKE,

I DON'T THINK SHE'S GONNA WANT IT ON COURT RECORD.

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

SHE HAS A DRUG PROBLEM.

SHE'S SOLD A LOT OF MY THINGS TO PAY FOR IT.

YOU SURE YOU'RE HERE ABOUT A CAR

AND NOT TO BAD?MOUTH A WOMAN WHO DUMPED YOU?

I WISH HER THE GREATEST HAPPINESS.

I HOPE SHE GETS CLEAN.

YEAH, WELL, SHE IS CLEAN.

THEN I JUST WANT MY CAR BACK.

I APPRECIATE YOU STOPPING BY. DON'T COME BACK HERE AGAIN.

LISTEN, MAN TO MAN, SAVE YOURSELF A LOT OF TROUBLE.

DID YOU HEAR ME?

[ DOOR OPENS ]

HAVE A SEAT, ANN.

CARLA SOLOMON WAS YOUR CASEWORKER?

YEAH.

WHAT WAS YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH HER?

WHY?

JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION. IT WAS OKAY.

ANY BEEFS? SHE TOOK MY DAUGHTER AWAY.

DID YOU MAKE ANY THREATS TO HER?

NO. I COULDN'T CARE FOR MY DAUGHTER RIGHT.

CARLA DID WHAT SHE HAD TO DO.

GOING THROUGH YOUR FILE, ANN,

WE CAN SEE YOU'VE HAD SOME TOUGH TIMES.

WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE THINGS HARDER FOR YOU,

BUT WE WILL IF YOU DON'T TELL US THE TRUTH.

I AM.

CARLA HAS IN HER REPORT THAT YOU SAID YOU HATED HER

AND HOPED SHE GOT AIDS.

I COULDN'T CARE FOR MY DAUGHTER.

I UNDERSTOOD THAT, AND I COOPERATED WITH THE REMOVAL.

THE ONLY THING I ASKED IS THAT CARLA NOT TELL MY MOM

THAT ME AND MY BABY WERE HIV POSITIVE.

SHE SAID SHE WOULDN'T... BUT SHE WENT AHEAD AND DID.

SHE NEEDED TO KNOW.

CARLA COULD HAVE ARRANGED

FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO TAKE CARE OF AMANDA,

BUT SHE GAVE HER TO MY MOM,

AND NOW MY FAMILY DOESN'T SPEAK TO ME.

AND WHEN MY MOM FOUND OUT WE HAD HIV,

SHE GAVE AMANDA UP ANYWAY

JUST LIKE I TOLD CARLA SHE WOULD.

IT RUINED MY LIFE EVEN MORE.

SO YOU THREATENED HER?

I SAID THE THING ABOUT HER GETTING AIDS

SO SHE COULD KNOW WHAT I GO THROUGH.

WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?

OUT.

TURNING TRICKS?

NO. I STOPPED ALL THAT A LONG TIME BACK.

YOU GOT POPPED FOR IT THREE MONTHS AGO.

THAT'S WHEN I STOPPED.

WE NEED TO KNOW WHERE YOU WERE, ANN.

WHY?

CARLA SOLOMON WAS FOUND DEAD THIS MORNING.

YOU NEED TO PROVE YOU DIDN'T DO IT OR TALK ABOUT IT IF YOU DID.

UM, I WAS OUT ON CANAL STREET.

[ SIGHS ] CAN ANYBODY VERIFY THAT?

I DON'T GET THEIR PHONE NUMBERS.

[ SIGHS ] WRITE DOWN WHERE YOU WERE.

ANN, YOU CAN'T BE TURNING TRICKS?? HIV POSITIVE.

WE FIND YOU OUT THERE AGAIN, YOU'LL GO AWAY FOR IT.

YEAH, I KNOW.

LOOK UP.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

UNEXPLAINED FRACTURE.

HE FELL OUT OF HIS HIGH CHAIR.

THE DOCTOR SAID THE INJURY WAS INCONSISTENT WITH YOUR ACCOUNT.

HE PROBABLY LOOKED AT JASON FOR A MINUTE,

SCRIBBLED OFF SOME NOTES, AND WALKED AWAY.

THEN WHAT WAS YOUR PROBLEM WITH CARLA SOLOMON?

SHE SAYS IN THE NOTES THAT SHE BELIEVED YOU.

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID TO MY FACE ANYWAY.

THAT'S WHAT SHE TOLD HER SUPERVISOR.

IF SHE HAD BELIEVED ME, IF SHE MEANT IT,

SHE COULD'VE STOPPED THEM FROM TAKING MY SON.

A DOCTOR'S DIAGNOSIS OVERRULES A CASEWORKER'S OPINION.

SHE COULD'VE STOPPED IT. I KNOW IT.

SO YOU WERE ANGRY WITH HER?

SHE TOOK MY SON AWAY FROM US.

WE MISSED OUT ON HALF HIS LIFE BECAUSE WE WERE ACCUSED

OF BEATING HIM AND BREAKING HIS LEG.

THEY JUST NOW FIGURED OUT HE'S GOT BRITTLE BONE DISEASE,

AND WE STILL ONLY GET TO SEE HIM ONCE A WEEK

WHILE THEY FINISH THE PAPERWORK.

YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I WAS ANGRY AT HER.

WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU SEEN HER?

DURING THE LAST VISIT.

YOU EVER BEEN TO HER APARTMENT?

HELL, NO. WHY?

WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?

WHAT THE HELL'S THIS ABOUT?

WE FOUND MISS SOLOMON'S BODY THIS MORNING.

YOU'RE KIDDING.

WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?

YOU THINK I DID IT? I'M NOT GONNA ASK YOU AGAIN.

I WAS HOME. THE WHOLE TIME?

NO. I WENT TO WORK TO GET MY ADDRESS BOOK.

DOES YOUR WORK HAVE AN ENTRY?CARD SYSTEM

TO PROVE YOU WERE THERE?

LISTEN TO ME. I DID NOT KILL THAT WOMAN.

WRITE DOWN WHERE YOU BEEN, WHO YOU BEEN WITH

THE LAST 24 HOURS.

MAYBE I NEED TO GET A LAWYER.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT A LAWYER?

THE SYSTEM AIN'T RAILROADING ME AGAIN. NO WAY.

NOW, I'LL ACCOUNT FOR MY DAY AND ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS,

BUT I'M GONNA HAVE A LAWYER WHILE I DO IT.

A LAWYER COMES IN, THE DEAL GOES OUT.

DEAL FOR WHAT?

FOR KILLING MISS SOLOMON.

YOU GUYS ARE?? I DID NOT KILL HER.

YOU'RE SURE TALKING US INTO IT.

ACCOUNT FOR YOUR WHEREABOUTS YESTERDAY, MR. WARD.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

MOM HERE TAPED OVEN MITTS TO HER SON'S HANDS

TO STOP HIM FROM MASTURBATING AT NIGHT.

GET A LOAD OF THIS ONE.

THEIR KID WAS REMOVED? YEAH.

IF THIS WAS A SUICIDE,

CAN WE FIND OUT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER

SO WE DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS ANYMORE?

I'M STILL WAITING TO HEAR.

THIS GUY MIKE MENDEZ

THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING TO TALK TO??

HE WON'T PICK UP NOW. LET'S GO GET HIM.

I TALKED TO BUILDING MAINTENANCE.

NO GO ON THE ASHES. HEALTH?CODE VIOLATION.

AW, COME ON.

THERE'S 50 VIOLATIONS INSIDE OF MEDAVOY'S DESK ALONE.

THEY SAID HE'S GOTTA BE KEPT OUTSIDE.

HE SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED TO BE HERE INSIDE THE SQUAD.

SAY WE STORE IT IN THE BACK OF A FILE CABINET.

WHAT HAPPENS IN 10 YEARS WHEN WE'RE NOT HERE,

AND THEY HAVE HIM CLEANED OUT?

UHHH.

LET'S GO.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

OH, HERE THEY ARE?? BACKSTABBING INCORPORATED.

I'M HERE TO CLEAN OUT MY LOCKER. HAPPY?

YOU'RE THE ONE BANGING THAT 17?YEAR?OLD, NOT US.

AND YOU WERE THE ONE THAT SAID YOU WOULDN'T NOTIFY I. A. B.

IT MIGHT BE MAKING YOU FEEL BETTER BELIEVING IT WAS US,

BUT IT AIN'T THE CASE.

I COULD HAVE STAYED ON THE JOB.

NOW IT'S TOO LATE. YOU GUYS REALLY SCREWED ME.

YOU'RE HEADING FOR ANOTHER ASS?KICKING, LAUGHLIN.

YOU GONNA TELL MY WIFE NEXT, HUH?

LISTEN, I'D BE PISSED, TOO. I'D BE GOOD AND PISSED.

AND IF I FOUND OUT WHO GAVE ME UP, I'D LAY INTO HIM.

BUT THAT AIN'T US. WE DIDN'T DO IT.

WE GOT NO REASON TO. WE GOT NOTHING TO GAIN FROM IT.

BULLSHIT.

THEN GO AHEAD AND BELIEVE IT. ALL OF YOU CAN!

BUT YOU GET IN OUR FACE AGAIN OR MAKE ANOTHER COMMENT,

WE'RE TAKING THIS OUTSIDE.

DID YOU EVER THREATEN MISS SOLOMON?

I RECALL UTTERING SOME EPITHETS.

ALONG THE LINES OF HOPING SHE'D GET HIT BY A BUS?

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU KNOW THIS ALREADY.

WHY THE QUESTIONS? TRYING TO CATCH ME IN A LIE?

YOU CONTINUED TO CALL AFTER YOUR SON WAS REMOVED.

MY WOUNDS HAVEN'T HEALED,

AS I'D HOPED YOU'D BE ABLE TO EMPATHIZE WITH.

SO YOU BLAME HER FOR REMOVING YOUR SON.

SHE'S RESPONSIBLE.

YOU WEREN'T AT FAULT?

NOT AT ALL.

PUTTING A CONDOM ON IN FRONT OF YOUR 13?YEAR?OLD SON.

I WAS TEACHING HIM ABOUT SAFE SEX.

MASTURBATING IN FRONT OF HIM, TAKING NUDE PHOTOS OF HIM.

I TAKE IT YOU DISAPPROVE

OF OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS HEALTHY SEXUALITY.

I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

HOW YOU ENDED UP BLAMING MISS SOLOMON.

SHE, ALONG WITH THE SCHOOL COUNSELOR WHO BADGERED JEFFREY

UNTIL HE TOLD HER WHAT SHE WANTED TO HEAR,

FORCED THEMSELVES INTO OUR LIFE, OUR HOME,

WHICH WAS AN OPEN AND HONEST AND HEALTHY ONE,

DESPITE WHAT YOU OR SHE OR ANYONE ELSE MAY THINK.

WHY'D YOU LET YOUR PARENTAL RIGHTS GET TERMINATED?

REPORT SAYS THAT WAS YOUR DECISION

BY NOT ATTENDING COURT?ORDERED THERAPY SESSIONS.

I WASN'T WRONG. I'M NOT GONNA SAY THAT I WAS.

WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT, MR. WEBB?

I FINISHED WORK, AND I WENT HOME. WHERE DO YOU WORK?

I TEACH ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE

AT THE LAWRENCE CENTER FOR LEARNING.

ARE YOU CURIOUS AS TO WHY WE HAD YOU COME HERE?

I HAVEN'T ASKED

BECAUSE I BELIEVE PEOPLE SHOULD MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS.

CARLA SOLOMON WAS KILLED LAST NIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT?

[ SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE ]

NOTHING.

THAT'S FUNNY?? HER GETTING KILLED?

OH, I DIDN'T DO IT, BUT IT'S CERTAINLY IRONIC,

BECAUSE THIS IS KARMA COMING BACK TO MISS SOLOMON??

THE IRREPRESSIBLE HANDS OF KARMA.

BECAUSE WITHIN THE ETHICAL REALM,

EVERY VOLITIONAL ACTION??

YOU KNOW WHAT, RICH? WE'VE HAD IT WITH YOU.

JUST WRITE DOWN WHERE YOU WERE LAST NIGHT,

THEN GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE WHILE WE CHECK YOUR ALIBI.

CERTAINLY.

RIGHT HERE.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT, MIKE?

LET ME THINK. I LEFT WORK, WENT HOME.

A BUDDY OF MINE WAS PUTTING A NEW RADIATOR IN HIS CAR,

NEEDED MY HELP, SO I WENT OVER THERE.

HIS NAME? JOE MALONE.

HE'LL CONFIRM THAT? SURE.

SO YOU WENT STRAIGHT TO JOE'S AND THEN STRAIGHT BACK HOME?

ACTUALLY, I STOPPED FOR A BEER AFTER I LEFT JOE'S.

I BOUGHT A SIX?PACK, WENT DOWN BY THE WATERFRONT.

WHO CAN CONFIRM YOU WERE THERE?

I GUESS NOBODY.

I GUESS YOU GUYS ARE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD, RIGHT?

NO OFFENSE, MIKE, BUT WE TEND NOT TO TAKE THE WORD

OF GUYS WHO HAVE MOLESTED THEIR 8?YEAR?OLD STEPDAUGHTERS.

THE WHOLE THING WAS A BIG MISUNDERSTANDING.

NO, IT WASN'T. WE READ THE REPORTS.

THE CASEWORKERS, THE TEACHERS?? THEY ALL BELIEVED HER.

THE FACT THE D. A. DIDN'T FILE CRIMINAL CHARGES??

THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IN THIS ROOM.

SO DON'T PUT ON A BIG SIDEWALK ACT HOW YOU DIDN'T DO IT

'CAUSE THAT'S JUST GONNA PISS US OFF EVEN MORE.

WE'RE GONNA NEED YOU

TO ACCOUNT FOR WHERE YOU WERE LAST NIGHT.

I DRANK A COUPLE BEERS IN MY CAR BY THE RIVER.

I WAS THERE, LIKE, 20 MINUTES.

THEN I WENT HOME. YOU CAN ASK MY WIFE.

YOUR WIFE WHO SIDED WITH YOU OVER HER OWN DAUGHTER,

YOUR WIFE WHO LET CHILD SERVICES TAKE HER AWAY?

WE DON'T GIVE A WHOLE LOT OF CREDIBILITY TO HER EITHER.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? WHAT DO YOU GUYS WANT, MAN?

THE CASEWORKER WHO HAD YOU LOCKED UP??

SHE GOT KILLED LAST NIGHT.

NOW'S THE TIME?? THE ONLY TIME??

THAT WE'RE GONNA LISTEN TO WHAT HAPPENED

AND GIVE YOU SOME HELP.

I DIDN'T DO IT.

THIS IS YOUR ONLY CHANCE, MIKE.

I DIDN'T DO IT.

YOUR WORD DOESN'T MEAN DICK.

YOU NEED TO PROVE WHERE YOU WERE EVERY MINUTE LAST NIGHT.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

SOME OF THESE PARENTS

SHOULD BE HUNG BY THEIR TOES ON 6th AVENUE.

I DON'T EVEN WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S BECOME OF THEIR KIDS.

ANYTHING FROM YOUR GUY?

WRITING DOWN HIS WHEREABOUTS. WE'LL CHECK THEM OUT.

YOU GUYS FIND ANY CANDIDATES?

EVERYBODY. AND WE'RE ONLY A QUARTER OF THE WAY THROUGH.

HEY, WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE D. O. A.'s PERSONAL LIFE?

WORKED ALL THE TIME, NO MAN IN HER LIFE,

WENT OUT SALSA DANCING ANY NIGHT SHE HAD FREE.

LAST NIGHT?

NO.

HELLO, ANDY.

OH. HEY.

HI, RUTH.

ANY WORD YET?

YEAH. UM, UNFORTUNATELY,

WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO KEEP PAUL HERE.

YOU SPOKE TO YOUR BOSS?

THAT'S ME, MA'AM.

AND WE LOOKED AT ALL POSSIBLE SCENARIOS,

BUT WE JUST CAN'T DO IT.

YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING, RUTH,

MAYBE WE COULD SPREAD PAUL'S ASHES OUT AT THE FIRING RANGE,

GET THE PIPE?BAND,

MAKE A NICE LITTLE CEREMONY OUT OF IT.

NO, HE WOULDN'T WANT THAT.

I'M SORRY.

WE REALLY TRIED EVERYTHING WE COULD.

I SHOULD BE GOING.

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

HAVE A SEAT, MISS MONROE.

FIRST SAY WHY YOU DRAGGED ME OUT OF WORK.

SIT DOWN AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT.

MY BOSS LOOKING ON.

WHAT YOU THINK GOING THROUGH HIS MIND HE SEE YOU TAKING ME OUT?

SIT DOWN.

ELLA MONROE?? SHE'S TROUBLE.

SIT DOWN OR WE'LL TOSS YOU IN THE CAGE,

LET YOU SPEND THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON COOLING OFF.

ACCOUNT FOR YOURSELF THE PAST 24 HOURS.

AT MONTY'S CAMERA, OPEN TO CLOSE,

THE "C" UPTOWN TO THE FLUFF AND FOLD FOR THE LATE SHIFT,

AND THEN HOME TO SLEEP.

AND THAT'S EVERY DAY, OKAY? I'M PROVIDING FOR MY KIDS.

CARLA SOLOMON WAS YOUR CASEWORKER?

YEAH. WHY?

SHE REMOVED YOUR CHILDREN?

YEAH. SHE SAID MY OLDEST

COULDN'T TAKE CARE OF MY YOUNGEST AFTER SCHOOL.

YOUR OLDEST, WHO'S 10.

SHE'S A MATURE 10.

SHE WAS TAKING CARE OF A 2?YEAR?OLD.

WHEN I WAS ON PUBLIC ASSISTANCE,

I WAS THERE TAKING CARE OF THEM.

BUT THEN I GOT KICKED OFF AND HAD TO FIND A JOB.

BUT NOW I'M A BAD MOM

'CAUSE MY KIDS ARE ALONE AFTER SCHOOL.

WHEN DID YOU SEE MISS SOLOMON?

DID I INTERRUPT YOU WHILE YOU WERE TALKING?

NOW MY KIDS ARE FINE ON THEIR OWN,

BUT THEN THE BITCH DOWN THE HALL CALLED CHILD SERVICES ON ME

AND THEY COME AND TAKE MY KIDS.

WE KNOW THE EVENTS. WE'VE READ THE REPORT.

NOW I GET 'EM BACK, RIGHT?

AND I HAVE MY MOM WATCH THEM AFTER SCHOOL.

BUT ONE DAY SHE'S SICK,

AND THE BITCH NEIGHBOR CALLED CHILD SERVICES AGAIN.

ELLA, DID YOU HIT MISS SOLOMON

WHEN YOUR KIDS WERE REMOVED THE LAST TIME?

IT WAS MORE LIKE A SHOVE, AND SHE DIDN'T PRESS CHARGES

BECAUSE SHE KNEW HER ASS DESERVED IT.

WHEN DID YOU SEE HER LAST?

THE LAST TIME SHE CAME AND TOOK MY KIDS AWAY AGAIN.

BUT THEY IN FOSTER CARE NOW. I SEE THEM WEEKENDS.

AND I'M GONNA GET 'EM BACK, TOO,

'CAUSE AIN'T NOBODY BREAKING MY FAMILY UP.

WE FOUND MISS SOLOMON DEAD IN HER APARTMENT THIS MORNING.

[ SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE ]

I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.

I DIDN'T LIKE HER AND ALL, BUT I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.

WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?

WAIT. GET THE?? WAIT. YOU THINKING THAT I KILLED??

GET THE HELL OUT OF MY FACE WITH THAT KILLING SOMEBODY!

YOU CRAZY?!

SIT DOWN AND SPELL OUT WHERE YOU'VE BEEN THE LAST 24 HOURS.

I AIN'T DOING A DAMN THING!

WRITE DOWN WHERE YOU'VE BEEN OR GET LOCKED UP.

[ SIGHS ] KILLING THAT WOMAN?? MAN.

THROWING MY LIFE AWAY? PLEASE.

THANKS.

M.E. CAME BACK. NO SUICIDE.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. APPRECIATE IT.

ATF GOT A HIT ON THE MURDER WEAPON.

IT'S FROM A BATCH OF 50 THAT GOT STOLEN OUT OF JFK.

ANOTHER ONE OF THE 50 WAS BOUGHT BY AN INFORMANT

FROM THIS BARTENDER OVER IN THE EAST VILLAGE.

THEY'RE TRYING TO SET UP A BUY

WITH AN UNDERCOVER TO BUILD A BETTER CASE,

BUT THEY SAID GO AHEAD AND PULL THE BARTENDER IN.

WHAT'S UP?

EVERY COP DOWNSTAIRS THINKS

WE NOTIFIED YOU ON THAT CASE LAST WEEK.

RUMORS FLY SOMETIMES.

YOU GOTTA LET THEM KNOW IT DIDN'T COME FROM THIS SQUAD.

WE'LL TAKE GRIEF OVER THINGS WE DO, BUT WE DIDN'T DO THIS.

YOU GUYS SHOULD BE COUNTING YOUR LUCKY STARS

WE DIDN'T COME DOWN ON YOU.

YOU KNEW ABOUT COPS SLEEPING WITH A 17?YEAR?OLD AUXILIARY COP

AND YOU SAT ON THAT?

THEIR JOB WAS TO CLEAR THE HOMICIDE, WHICH THEY DID.

IT WAS UNRELATED TO THOSE BONEHEAD COPS

BANGING THAT GIRL ON THE SIDE.

YOU REALLY NEED AN EXPLANATION

AS TO WHY WE DIDN'T TURN THE COPS OVER TO YOU?

ARE THEY GONNA TAKE A HIT?

SOME OF THEM.

I'LL LET THEM KNOW IT DIDN'T COME FROM YOU GUYS.

WHO FLIPPED, ONE OF THE COPS?

COME ON.

I VERY MUCH WANT TO GET MY DAUGHTER BACK.

WE UNDERSTAND, BUT THAT'S NOT OUR DEPARTMENT.

WE JUST NEED TO KNOW WHERE YOU WERE LAST NIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW WHY MISS SOLOMON HATED ME.

I DON'T KNOW WHY SHE HAD IT OUT FOR ME, BUT SHE DID.

AND SHE TOOK MY DAUGHTER,

AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR A REASON WHY.

WELL, APPARENTLY, FOR REFUSING TREATMENT FOR BEING BIPOLAR

AND SELF?MEDICATING WITH HEROIN.

[ LAUGHING ]

HEROIN? HA.

OH, THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

MISS McDERMOTT??

ALL I WANT IS TO HAVE MY DAUGHTER BACK.

NOW, IF YOU COULD PLEASE GET ME A MEETING WITH THE MAYOR??

MISS McDERMOTT, WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?

I WANT TO KNOW WHERE MY DAUGHTER IS!

I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN TAKE CARE OF HER!

YET ON JANUARY 3, 2002, CARLA SOLOMON??

CARRIE, WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?

I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY.

IT'S JUST THAT SHE'S MY BABY, MY LIFE.

AND WHO KNOWS WHERE SHE IS RIGHT NOW.

I'M SORRY.

IT'S OKAY. JUST TELL US WHERE YOU WERE LAST NIGHT.

MY MOM'S HOUSE.

SHE WAS THERE? YEAH.

YOU CAN LEAVE NOW, CARRIE. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

PLEASE HELP ME GET MY DAUGHTER BACK.

IF I COULD JUST TALK TO THE MAYOR.

WE'RE SORRY.

WELL, SCREW YOU!

YOU CAN GO TO HELL, BOTH OF YOU!

YOU NEED TO LEAVE NOW.

DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GONNA HURT YOURSELF RIGHT NOW, CARRIE?

'CAUSE IF SO, WE COULD TAKE YOU TO A HOSPITAL.

YOU DON'T GIVE A DAMN.

SIT DOWN.

WE GOT GOOD NEWS AND WE GOT SOME BAD NEWS, TONY.

THE BAD NEWS IS ATF HAS A BUY INTO YOU FOR A GUN

THAT WAS ONE OF 50 THAT GOT STOLEN OUT OF JFK.

THE GOOD NEWS IS WE GOT A HOMICIDE OFF A GUN

THAT CAME FROM THAT SAME BATCH.

WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO?? 'CAUSE YOU'RE A BRIGHT GUY??

YOU'RE GONNA TELL US WHO YOU SOLD YOUR GUNS TO

AND WHERE THE REST OF THEM ARE.

I SELL DRINKS, GUYS, NOT GUNS.

TONY, WE KNOW YOU SELL GUNS. ATF HAS IT ON TAPE.

WELL, LET ME SEE THIS TAPE.

YOU THINK WE JUST PICKED YOU RANDOM OUT OF 8 MILLION PEOPLE?

YOU'RE OUTSMARTING YOURSELF INTO FEDERAL TIME, TONY.

I KNOW YOUR GUYS' ACT.

CLAIMING THINGS YOU DON'T HAVE, WITNESSES THAT DON'T EXIST.

YOU GOT A TAPE, SHOW IT TO ME.

ALL RIGHT, LISTEN TO ME, YOU DUMB GUINEA.

WE'RE GONNA GET SEARCH WARRANTS FOR YOUR HOUSE, YOUR CAR,

YOUR BAR, ANYTHING WITH YOUR NAME ON IT.

WE'RE GONNA FIND THOSE EXTRA GUNS.

WHEN WE DO, YOU'RE GONNA DO TIME ON EVERY ONE OF THEM

UNLESS YOU START TALKING RIGHT NOW.

SHOW ME THE TAPE, THEN MAYBE WE'LL TALK.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. TONY...

I CAN SEE BY LOOKING AT YOU YOU'RE PRETTY DUG IN.

YOU GOT A LOT OF PRIDE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG.

ME AND MY PARTNER ARE GONNA WALK OUT OF THE ROOM.

YOU'RE GONNA TAKE A DEEP BREATH.

WE'RE GONNA WALK BACK IN THE ROOM, AND IT'S A WHOLE NEW DAY.

OKAY?

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

HOW'S IT GOING, TONY?

TAKE BACK THE DUMB GUINEA COMMENT.

DONE. GO ON.

I DIDN'T STEAL THOSE GUNS OUT OF JFK.

WE DON'T CARE WHERE YOU GOT 'EM.

I'VE ONLY SOLD TWO.

THE MOST RECENT.

LAST WEEK TO THIS WEIRDO.

I WOULDN'T HAVE, BUT THIS GUY I KNOW VOUCHED FOR HIM.

ANYBODY IN HERE?

I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE SOLD IT TO THAT IDIOT.

WHERE ARE THOSE OTHER GUNS?

STORAGE LOCKER IN JERSEY CITY.

HIM?? THAT GUY. THAT'S THE IDIOT.

ALL RIGHT. SIT TIGHT. LOOK HERE?? HEY.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

HEY, ANDY.

GIBSON. HEY, KID.

EDDIE. YOU CALLED ME?

OH. YEAH. FORGET IT. WE GOT IT WORKED OUT.

WHAT WAS IT?

LOOK, JOSH, DO ME A FAVOR??

GET THIS GUY'S STATEMENT IN THE POKEY,

PUT HIM IN A CELL DOWNSTAIRS.

THIS OLD DETECTIVE WORKED AT THE 15th DIED RECENTLY.

HE WANTED HALF HIS ASHES BURIED HERE. WE CAN'T DO IT.

WHO'S THE GUY?

PAUL DWYER?

PAUL DWYER?! MOVED TO NYACK, HIS WIFE NAMED RUTH?

YOU KNOW HIM?

HE SAVED MY LIFE.

YOU GOTTA DO RIGHT BY THE GUY.

LEAVE ME OUT OF THIS.

I TOLD RUTH WE COULD SPREAD HIS ASHES AT THE FIRING RANGE.

SHE DIDN'T SEEM TOO RECEPTIVE.

FIRING RANGE? HE ALMOST LOST HIS EYE OUT THERE.

I'M SERIOUS.

IT'S NOT MY CALL, EDDIE.

I RESPOND TO A DOMESTIC DISPUTE.

THE WHOLE BUILDING'S RELATED.

PRETTY SOON, THERE'S 30 OF THEM. THEY TURN ON ME.

I GET KNOCKED IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD,

MY GUN SKIDS ACROSS THE STREET, MY RADIO'S IN THE CAR.

I'M DEADER THAN KELSEY'S NUTS.

THEN OUT OF NOWHERE, HERE COMES PAUL DWYER,

CRACKING HEADS, THROWING SHOTS IN THE AIR.

PAUL WAS NO SHRINKING VIOLET,

DIDN'T TAKE MUCH FOR HIM TO START THROWING PUNCHES.

THIS TIME, IT HAPPENED TO BE AN APPROPRIATE SITUATION.

WE GOT A CASE WE'RE WORKING HERE, EDDIE.

YOU GOTTA DO RIGHT BY THE GUY, ANDY.

WE GOT A CASE, GIBSON.

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

THE GUY SAVED MY LIFE.

I COULDN'T BE MORE SYMPATHETIC.

SIT DOWN.

YOU EVER BEEN TO A BAR CALLED THE CHATTERBOX, RICH?

I DON'T DRINK.

THAT WASN'T THE QUESTION.

I HAVE NOT BEEN TO A BAR CALLED THE CHATTERBOX.

KNOW A GUY NAMED TONY GABRIELLI? NO.

HE KNOWS YOU.

YOU BOUGHT A GUN OFF OF HIM LAST WEEK.

THAT SAME GUN WAS FOUND NEXT TO CARLA SOLOMON THIS MORNING.

WE KNOW WHY YOU KILLED HER.

SHE HAD THE GALL TO TAKE YOUR SON FROM YOUR HAPPY HOME.

WE WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU FOUND HER, HOW IT WENT DOWN.

THAT'S A LOT OF ASSUMPTIONS.

YOU WANT TO LIVE, RICH? DO YOU, HMM?

YOU'RE NUTTY ENOUGH TO DO TIME, YOU'LL FIND A WAY.

BUT YOU EITHER GET TO IT AND YOU TELL US WHAT HAPPENED,

OR WE'RE GONNA PUSH FOR THE DEATH PENALTY.

YOU CAN'T FANTASIZE

ABOUT TEACHING YOUR KID HOW TO JERK OFF WHEN YOU'RE DEAD.

[ SCOFFS ]

I DON'T LIKE YOU.

I'M NOT GONNA PRETEND OTHERWISE.

I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR OPTIONS ARE.

NOW, YOU OBVIOUSLY CONSIDER YOURSELF

SMARTER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE, SO YOU FIGURE IT OUT.

[ SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE ]

AM I SMARTER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE?

I SUPPOSE, IN CERTAIN INSTANCES, I AM.

LIKE TEACHING YOUR KID ABOUT SEX?

WHAT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND IS

YOU HAVE TO COMMAND YOUR SEXUALITY

OR YOUR SEXUALITY WILL COMMAND YOU!

SO YOU ENJOY TEACHING YOUR KID THESE THEORIES.

OH, NO, NO, NO. THAT'S WHAT THE D. A. WAS TRYING TO IMPLY.

I DERIVE NO SEXUAL GRATIFICATION FROM IT.

I WAS MERELY TRYING TO SAVE HIM

FROM WHAT I WENT THROUGH AS A CHILD.

I GREW UP IN A VERY REPRESSED AND SECRETIVE

AND ABUSIVE FAMILY.

I WANTED TO SPARE JEFFREY FROM THAT.

THIS COULD WORK FOR YOU, RICH. CONTEXT.

HERE I AM SAVING HIS LIFE

AND CARLA SOLOMON COMES IN AND RUINS IT.

HOW'D YOU FIND OUT WHERE SHE LIVED?

I SAW HER IN A MARKET, FOLLOWED HER HOME

TWO MONTHS AGO.

I GAVE IT A LOT OF THOUGHT.

YOU WAITED OUTSIDE HER APARTMENT, FOLLOWED HER IN?

YES, I DID.

I ASKED HER WHERE MY SON WAS, SHE DIDN'T KNOW.

I ASKED HER TO GET HIM ON THE PHONE, SHE COULDN'T.

AND THAT'S ALL THERE REALLY IS TO TALK ABOUT, GENTLEMEN.

YOU WERE GOING ON ABOUT KARMA TO THE OTHER DETECTIVES.

YOU BELIEVE IN IT? I DO.

WHAT'D YOU THINK YOU WERE GONNA GET IN RETURN THEN

AFTER KILLING SOMEBODY?

LAST NIGHT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ME.

MISS SOLOMON IS DEAD BECAUSE OF HER OWN ACTIONS.

I WAS MERELY THE VESSEL THAT FACILITATED HER KARMA.

I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO UNDERSTAND.

GOOD.

KELLY COLES MOVED OUT OF THEIR DISTRICT,

SO HE GOT A NEW CASEWORKER AND JUDGE.

HE FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS.

NEW PEOPLE ASSIGNED TO HIM DIDN'T READ HIS REPORTS?

THEY DID, BUT I SPOKE

WITH HIS MOST RECENT JUDGE IN FAMILY COURT.

SHE TOLD ME THIS GUY WENT TO THERAPY, ANGER MANAGEMENT,

PARENTING?SKILLS CLASS, HE LOCKED UP HIS GUNS.

HE MET ALL THE CRITERIA.

HE BROKE HIS SON'S NOSE, BURNED HIS DAUGHTER,

HELD HIS OTHER DAUGHTER'S HEAD UNDERWATER.

JUDGES WANT TO KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER.

THAT'S INSANE.

I ASKED THAT THEY KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.

THIS GUY HAS NO BUSINESS BEING AROUND KIDS,

LET ALONE RAISING THEM.

YOU WANT THE JUDGE'S NUMBER?

THANKS FOR LOOKING INTO IT, VAL.

WE APPRECIATE IT.

SORRY, YOU GUYS.

I NEED A BEER.

OR TWO.

COUNT ME IN.

I GOTTA GET BACK HOME.

YOU ALL DID GOOD WORK TODAY.

YEAH, GREAT.

YOU DONE WRITING IT UP?

COME ON. WE'RE HEADING OUT FOR A BEER.

UH, I CAN'T. THANKS, THOUGH.

ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS.

I'LL CALL YOU LATER.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

I'LL GET HIM TO CENTRAL BOOKING.

GOOD NIGHT, DETECTIVE.

GOOD NIGHT, JOHN.

MAY I HELP YOU?

YEAH. JUST TO LET YOU KNOW,

I'LL BE DOING SOME WORK IN THE BATHROOM NOW.

I'LL PUT AN "OUT OF SERVICE" SIGN ON THE DOOR.

IT SHOULD BE A COUPLE OF HOURS.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. WHAT KIND OF WORK YOU DOING?

FIXING A PIPE. IT'S LEAKING DOWNSTAIRS.

AND THAT WOULD ENTAIL WHAT, DIGGING THE FLOOR UP?

USUALLY, YEAH.

SO YOU'RE GONNA BE DIGGING UP PART OF THE FLOOR?

YEAH.

COVERING IT WITH WHAT? CEMENT.

IT'S A SIGN FROM GOD. TRULY.

I CATCH YOU GUYS AT A BAD TIME?

NO, DO IT. GO AHEAD. START DIGGING.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF THEO.

GOOD. GO. YEAH.

[ CLEARS THROAT ] THANKS.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

YOU'RE FIVE MINUTES LATE.

I GOT CAUGHT UP.

DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN.

NO.

I WON'T.

[ SIGHS ]

YOU WANT SOMETHING TO DRINK?

I'M ALL RIGHT.

WHAT'S UP?

AMONG OTHER THINGS,

YOUR EX?HUSBAND STOPPED BY MY OFFICE THIS MORNING.

ANDREW? WHAT DID HE WANT?

HE SAID YOU TOOK A CAR OF HIS.

THAT SON OF A BITCH.

YEAH, IT WASN'T TOO PLEASANT.

WELL, IT'S NOT HIS CAR,

AND HE'S GOT A LOT OF NERVE GOING TO YOU ABOUT IT.

ARE YOU USING?

IS THAT WHAT HE SAID?

I'M ASKING. ARE YOU USING?

[ SIGHS ] GOD.

WENT OUT, BOUGHT SOMETHING SEXY,

SOMETHING I THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE, AND THIS IS WHAT I GET?

ANSWER THE QUESTION OR I'M WALKING OUT THE DOOR.

NO, I'M NOT USING.

'CAUSE I CAN'T DO THAT AGAIN. I WON'T DO IT.

I'M CLEAN?? NINE MONTHS.

ANDREW'S SAYING DIFFERENT.

ANDREW IS A SELF?CENTERED, WORKAHOLIC ASSHOLE

WHO DIDN'T KNOW I EXISTED

THE ENTIRE LAST YEAR OF OUR MARRIAGE.

DID YOU DO REHAB?

I DID REHAB. I DO FOLLOW?UP.

I'M IN COUNSELING. I'M CLEAN.

YOU WANT TO TEST ME?

NO.

THEN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.

BUT I DON'T NEED YOU LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER,

SECOND?GUESSING ME.

SO TRUST THAT I'M CLEAN AND STICK AROUND

OR DON'T AND LEAVE,

'CAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING I WON'T DO AGAIN.

[ SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE ]

I'VE WORKED HARD, TONY.

I NEED YOU TO TRUST THAT.

I DO.

I GOT WORRIED.

BELIEVE IN ME.

I WILL.

I LIKED YOU BETTER BEFORE.

[ DOOR UNLOCKS, OPENS ]

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

THAT YOU, JOHN?

YEAH.

HOW'S IT GOING?

NOT TOO BAD.

[ TELEVISION SHUTS OFF ]

IF THIS IS ABOUT ME HAVING A FEW DRINKS AFTER WORK

LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE IN THIS COUNTRY??

SOME COPS AT WORK TODAY

GOT PULLED DOWN TO INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

YEAH?

YEAH.

OFF THAT AUXILIARY COP CASE FROM LAST WEEK.

THEY ACCUSED THE SQUAD OF NOTIFYING I. A. B.

COPS WHO GET JAMMED UP ALWAYS DO THAT.

NEVER WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

DAD...YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON I TOLD THAT STORY TO.

[ INHALES SHARPLY ]

SO, WHAT'S THE IMPLICATION, JOHN?

ACTUALLY, I KNOW WHAT THE IMPLICATION IS.

THINGS AREN'T ADDING UP, DAD.

YOU HAVE TO TELL ME?? WHAT'S GOING ON?

TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON.

NOTHING.

LOOK AT ME.

LOOK AT ME!

LOOK ME IN THE EYE.

DID I. A. B. FLIP YOU WHEN YOU WERE IN THAT JAM?

YOU HAVE TO TELL ME, DAD.

ARE YOU WORKING SOMETHING OFF FOR INTERNAL AFFAIRS?

TELL ME!

THEY SAID THEY WERE GONNA GO AFTER MY PENSION.

THEY WERE GONNA PUT YOU BACK INTO UNIFORM.

[ SIGHS ]

I HAD NO CHOICE.

THEY SAID THEY WERE GONNA RUIN YOU, JOHN.

YOU SHOULD'VE STOOD UP! YOU SHOULD'VE FOUGHT IT!

THEY HAD ME SO TURNED AROUND.

THIS THING WAS THE FIRST THING I GAVE THEM.

I HAD TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING, JOHN.

DAD, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GONNA DO NOW?!

[ Crying ] I DON'T KNOW.

I'M SORRY.

SO SORRY.

YOU'RE SURE?

I'M POSITIVE.

'CAUSE ONCE IT GOES IN...

THIS IS WHAT HE WANTED??

TO BE PART OF THE 15th FOREVER.

ALL RIGHT, THEN.

UH, MAY I?

ALL YOU, MA'AM.

[ SIGHS ]

WE OWE A LOT TO THIS PLACE.

BEING A DETECTIVE MADE HIM SO PROUD.

I WAS PROUD WHEN I TOLD PEOPLE WHAT HE DID.

OH, WE DIDN'T HAVE A BIG FANCY LIFE OR ANYTHING,

BUT THE MONEY HE MADE HERE GAVE US A COMFORTABLE LIVING.

WE PUT OUR DAUGHTER THROUGH SCHOOL

AND THE PENSION KEPT US SAFE AFTER HE RETIRED.

AND HE MADE SO MANY FRIENDS...

LIFELONG FRIENDS, REAL FRIENDS,

PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE THERE FOR YOU NO MATTER WHAT.

[ SIGHS ]

WE OWE A LOT TO THIS PLACE.
