‐ [ Horn honks ]
‐ [ siren wails ]
Some detective I am, boy.
A regular sleuth.
Gregory, what's the matter?
The matter, donna,
is that I came upon my wife
in a compromised position...
With the store manager
for roland's foods.
That's what it took‐‐
me seeing her with her legs
waving in the air like a crab...
For me to realize
what's been goin' on
for the past 16 months.
Gregory, you caught her
in the act?
Yeah, yeah.
See, yesterday's matinee
was a first.
Usually, she saw him nights
when I did the baby‐sitting...
And she was supposed
to be out with her friends.
Holy smokes.
Yeah, yeah.
That's probably why
she wanted me back, you know,
When her and I split up
those few days, yeah.
She probably wanted me back
so I could pay the bills...
And‐‐ and watch the kids
on her nights out.
That's how stupid I am.
What are you
gonna do now?
I got my clothes in the car.
I can make a deal for a room
at the worthington square hotel.
That place is a dump.
Yeah, well,
it's a dump I can afford.
Sorry, greg.
Gotta pick up that witness
on the rappaport case.
Yeah, yeah.
We gotta pick up a witness
for the grand jury.
I'll talk to you
when you get back.
Yeah.
[ Horns honking ]
[ Horn honks ]
damn! Move!
‐ Another happy citizen.
‐ [ Honking continues ]
Driver, move!
[ Honking continues ]
‐ What's your problem?
‐ I got no problem.
You gonna have a problem,
you keep makin' faces
at me.
Hey, pal, if you're
tryin' to louse up my day,
somebody already beat you to it.
Nobody's makin' fun of you.
Just roll up your window
and calm down.
You shut your mouth,
you redheaded f*gg*t!
‐ This guy's unbelievable.
‐ You want me
to louse your day up?
I'll louse your day up
real good!
This is gonna be
a trip to night court.
I can see it comin'.
g*n!
‐ I can't get out this way.
‐ Come on out of here.
[ Man ]
you see that, man?
The cops just
blew that guy away
for nothin'.
What's goin' on?
They just shot the man
in the head.
Did you see that?
They just k*lled
that guy.
James, get on the radio.
James, get on the radio.
He's crazy, man.
[ Martinez ]
it was there, man.
Right in greg's face.
‐ Saw that g*n point blank.
‐ Do you remember
where the g*n ended up?
Black revolver, four‐inch
heavy barrel. I lost sight of it
when I came out of the car.
The g*n must have been
blown out of his hand.
Somebody must've grabbed it.
He's been i. D.'D as
william danton, 43.
He's a waldbaum's employee.
‐ Still can't find that g*n?
‐ We'll find it.
We're gonna have to leave
your car here.
You and greg
come back in with me.
Yeah, okay.
Hey, greg, let's go back
to the station house.
It was that little spick!
He was the one
that did it.
Hey, find that mouth!
If he saw it, we want him.
Lieutenant, I figure we got
ten minutes before we go
to hats and bats over here.
‐ I want some witnesses,
and I want the g*n.
‐ Yes, sir.
Okay, let's go.
Janice,
let's start over here.
Can I speak to you a minute?
Man, I ain't got nothin'
to say to police.
You see what happened there?
I said I ain't got
nothin' to say.
‐ You see anything?
‐ Yeah, I saw it.
‐ Yeah, what happened?
‐ I mean, it's confidential.
I could tell you,
but then I'd have
to k*ll you.
And I'd have
to help him.
You didn't see anything.
You see the sh**ting?
You mean where the cop
k*lled that man
for no reason?
‐ Shot him in that face?
‐ Yeah, were you here?
‐ No, but that's what happened.
‐ Hey, police lady!
Why don't you come over here
and talk to me a little too?
Sure, mouth, what have you got
to say to me, huh, tough guy?
Excuse me,
could you help us
with this sh**ting?
Man's name was bill danton.
‐ He was a customer.
His wife too.
‐ You see what happened to him?
‐ I heard a cop
did it on purpose.
‐ That's not how it happened.
How do you know what happened?
The man is dead,
and he lived around here.
You two live around here?
Did you see anything?
‐ I saw what I always see.
‐ John, look out!
‐ Hey! Clear the roof, guys!
Clear the roof!
‐ Get that guy!
[ Crowd yelling ]
You want a part of me?
Get over here!
Hey!
Shut up! Get back!
Go! Go!
Sorry for makin' you stop.
I never got sick like that.
Don't worry about it.
I'm gonna wash up.
Okay, pal.
When he's done,
both of you go
to psych services.
Right.
Okay?
Are you all right?
Yeah. If it hadn't been
for martinez‐‐
Don't say it, gregory.
Did you guys
get anything more
off the canvass?
Airmail got a little thick.
We'll go back in a couple hours.
How's james?
Uh, he's just, uh‐‐
he's washing up.
He's takin' it pretty hard.
Okay. We've gotta
run this for fancy.
We'll talk later.
Okay.
Boy, first
I catch marie in the act,
then I nearly get whacked.
I better watch out
for falling pianos, huh?
Your wife asked you to call.
She, uh, heard
what happened on the tv.
Yeah. I better let her
know that I'm okay
so she can tell the kids.
That's gonna be the entirety
of our conversation, donna.
We put it out on the street
we want to pay for the g*n.
M.e.'S running toxicology
as fast as they can, and we're
reachin' out to the guy's wife.
[ Sipowicz ]
here's the rat squad.
[ Fancy ] I don't want martinez
and medavoy makin' statements
till the dust settles a little.
‐ And remind them they're
supposed to go to lefrak city.
‐ I'll work on the wife.
Kelly will fill you in
on the details, but
this was a clean sh**t.
Good.
Let's prove it was clean.
Give me a minute.
I'll run it for you, okay?
Yeah.
Yeah.
James, lieutenant wants
you and greg to get over
to psych services.
He wants us
to talk to the shrink.
Yeah, that's standard.
You did what you
had to do, right?
Mm‐hmm.
‐ I wish they could
find that g*n.
‐ They will.
‐ That's i. A. B.?
‐ Yeah, that him. Okay.
I would not give a statement
till you get back, okay?
Yeah, okay.
All right.
Hey.
Hey.
Did you get hurt?
Um, my shoulder,
just a little.
What were you tryin' to do?
Get statements.
It looked like you
were tryin' to take on
the whole crowd, janice.
Yeah, well.
Well, what?
Nothin'.
What's the matter?
I just feel so bad.
It's weird, huh?
I got my shield.
You and I are workin'
on getting along.
Everything's great.
Only trouble is,
I know my shield's
a buy‐off from lastarza,
And it's pretty clear
that you wish
I was in alaska,
And I have dreams
about k*lling people
every night.
Wonder where that
comes from.
You want to know
the truth, john?
I feel like
I'm falling apart.
If something happened to me
on the street, and I was
doing somebody good,
I don't think
that's the worst thing
that could happen.
You've gotta get some help.
If I talk to one of those
department counselors,
I'm gonna have to lie
about what's on my mind...
And they'll still
probably put me in
the rubber g*n squad.
What about your family?
Your priest?
He still thinks I'm 11.
Okay, I know somebody
we can talk to.
He's a good listener.
He'd have to be.
He is.
How much
can I tell him?
You can tell him
everything.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay, let me
reach out to him...
And I'll talk to you
about it later, okay?
Okay.
Has to do with
the line of sight.
This big black points
his finger at me.
I was sure it was a g*n.
‐ I saw the g*n.
‐ I thought that's
what I saw too.
I'm ready.
Can we talk over here?
Yeah.
What are you doing?
Just fillin' myself in.
I just told you,
I will give you everything.
He won't be making
any statements till he
speaks to his d. E. A. Delegate.
No problem.
Don't talk to him again.
You got
a bad attitude, kelly.
We're all on the same job.
Don't talk to him again.
Did you hear me that time?
Yeah.
Well, we'll have to tell fancy
no more canvassin'
till tomorrow.
[ Sipowicz ]
at least we didn't get hit
by as much garbage.
How are we doin'
on the booze?
All right.
You gonna get some help?
I'm thinkin' about it.
Guys!
Look at this assh*le.
Hey, any progress
finding the w*apon?
Well, you can go through
the regular department
channels, norman.
So you have no reaction
to neighborhood opinion...
That it was as unmotivated,
unnecessary sh**ting?
That's right.
Is it possible
the victim had no w*apon?
Hey, all's we knows
so far, norman,
Is we heard some
reporter called a low‐life
assh*le turd pimp...
With the brains of a flea
and the balls of a moth.
But we haven't nailed down yet
who was being referred to.
A touch of the poet there,
sipowicz.
Detectives,
the guy pulled the g*n,
His wife is upstairs
in interview one.
And each of these guys is
waitin' for a big reward.
I got 12 bucks.
I got the g*ns over here.
Matches what james gave us.
We want this guy upstairs.
Tell the other three
they crapped out.
Okay. I'll give 'em those
amnesty certificates.
They're worth 50 bucks.
I'll take the wife.
Andy.
First guy on the bench,
reggie slocum.
Reggie.
Reggie, I'm det. Sipowicz.
Let's talk upstairs.
Okay, fellas,
step up to the desk.
‐ Mrs. Danton?
‐ Yes.
I'm detective kelly.
Sorry for your loss.
You're not the officer
that shot him, are you?
No, ma'am, I'm not.
I had some trouble locating you.
Did you move out
of your apartment?
I've been staying with
my sister in queens.
Can you tell me why?
You and your husband
having some problems?
Yes.
Our reports of the incident
this morning...
Described your husband
as screaming and
pointing a w*apon...
At the detectives
that were involved.
Does that sound like him?
I've seen william
behave irrational.
Recently?
He never hit me.
But you were frightened enough
to leave home.
He was drinking.
I think he was
doing other things.
You mean dr*gs.
I think
he may have been.
The way
he'd begun acting...
Was how, um,
I've seen it described.
Did you ever
ask him about it?
Yes.
He denied it.
Did your husband
ever thr*aten you,
mrs. Danton?
He'd begun to, yes.
Do you know
if he had a w*apon?
Um, I'm not sure.
I, uh‐‐
He'd begun to say
if i, uh‐‐
If I kept it up,
He had something for me;
he kept it in the car.
Which you took
to mean a w*apon.
Yes.
I don't want to say
anymore. Um‐‐
I loved my husband.
I don't know what was
happening with him.
I have to go and
identify his body.
Okay. If you wait a minute,
‐ I'll have somebody
go along with you, okay?
‐ No, no, no, thank you.
I have a lot of people
that want to help us now.
Take care.
Thank you.
Yeah, I was there.
You see I found the g*n.
Where?
There, where it happened.
Exactly where?
By his car.
Which car?
‐ The brother's car.
‐ Then you saw him drop it?
Yeah, I seen him drop it.
Why you think I picked it up?
I knew it'd be safer
in my hands.
Could it have been underneath
the driver's side window?
Yeah, that sounds cool.
You write it down,
I'll sign it.
It makes more sense if
it was on the other side
of the car.
You think you might
have found it there?
Look, I found it
anywhere you say I did.
You know what I'm sayin'?
You got my drift?
Now, let's talk about the bank.
What's up with the "g"?
You're gonna need more
than a thousand for bail
and doctors, reggie,
'Cause you're
a lying sack of crap.
Hold up, man.
I've been straight with you.
I down with you, g.
I'm trying to help you guys.
I'm trying to help you guys
look good.
Don't help us.
Tell us where you got the g*n.
Look, I told you.
I found the g*n
at the scene, yo.
And I am telling you, yo,
that you weren't there.
Now you tell me
where you got it or
I'm gonna kick your ass.
Reggie, a cop's career
is on the line.
You help us, and there's
some money in it for you.
A guy by the name of gerardo.
Where can we find him?
Look, I paid two hundred
for that g*n, and I could
use another three.
You give us gerardo,
you get the full five, okay?
You got it.
You got a deal. Okay.
All right.
So, james, in case we get
separated or one of us
winds up staying longer‐‐
[ Horn honks ]
hey, excuse me‐‐
I just want us to wind up
on the same page,
in terms of the sh**ting.
Same page how?
I want to go over
what happened.
Just for our statements.
So this guy had
a four‐inch revolver, right?
Right.
And it was leveled
directly at me.
It was directly at my head
when you shot.
Yeah.
Or was he bringing it down,
was he training it on me?
He brought it out.
He had it pointed
right at you.
That wasn't
what you saw?
Yeah, that's exactly
what I saw.
What do we have
to go over this for?
We say what we saw.
Yeah, that's right.
That's what we're gonna do.
You didn't see the g*n,
did you.
Hell, I didn't.
It was a four‐inch revolver.
You didn't see it.
James.
James, look at me.
Look at me.
I know there was a g*n,
And I know it was
pointed at me.
I know you saved my life.
Do you understand that?
Yeah.
All right.
Have no doubt about that.
Now, this other stuff,
you know, statements
and so forth,
Uh, there's other things
involved in all that,
Besides what happened
on the street, where they
may be lookin' to trip you up.
I want us on the exact same page
because I know what you did.
That g*n was pointed
directly at you.
I knocked you
out of the way
with my left hand.
I brought out my w*apon,
and I fired
till it was empty.
And in terms of what he said,
He called me a redheaded f*gg*t
a couple of times,
and an s. O. B.,
And he said he was gonna
louse up my day real good
is what I remember.
I fired till it clicked.
I emptied my w*apon
right into him.
Come on. Let's go.
Come on.
Johnny didn't tell me
you were a priest.
[ Chuckles ]
Good old john.
Is that a problem?
No, i‐‐
I used to talk to my priest
outside sometimes...
When I was a little girl...
In the, uh, playground
behind the school.
Yeah?
I guess some of us
just think better
in the fresh air.
Uh,
Johnny said you had
a couple things you
wanted to talk about.
Yeah.
Um‐‐
My life is a mess.
What kind of mess?
Generally.
Okay, um,
Can you give me
a "for instance"?
This conversation
we're having,
Is it confidential?
Yeah, of course it is.
My grandparents
came through ellis island.
Yeah, mine too.
With them,
no matter what happened,
it was‐‐ it was god's will.
I wish I could
believe that.
What did you do, janice?
I can't counsel you
unless you tell me.
I'm afraid
that if I tell you,
I'll be crossing a line
and I won't be able
to go back.
Will that be so bad?
My father was a cop.
Did johnny
tell you that?
Uh, no.
He k*lled himself.
I'm sorry.
He took money
from a mobster.
For several years,
he made extra money
that way.
He'd tipped them off
when there'd be a raid.
How did‐‐
How did you
find out about that?
They said that they'd let
it out what my dad had done
unless I helped them too.
And did you?
I...
Committed a crime, father.
A terrible crime.
What did you do?
I k*lled two men.
They wanted me
to k*ll somebody,
and I didn't want to do it.
And I knew that...
If I didn't do it,
They'd k*ll me
and this other person.
And I was in the car
with them...
And this one guy
was threatening me...
And I pulled out my g*n
and I shot him...
And I shot his driver too.
He was angelo marino.
He was this mob guy.
I remember
reading about that.
I kept telling myself
that these were bad men,
these were evil men,
And‐‐ and if I hadn't have
done what I did,
They would've k*lled me
and someone else.
And I tried to believe that
that's why god let me
get away with it.
But I can't get away with it.
It's‐‐
It's eating everything up.
Maybe that's god's will too.
Tell me what to do.
I‐i think you know
what you should do.
Hi, andy.
Hey.
We got an officer‐involved
sh**ting.
I heard. They still
lookin' for the w*apon?
Believe me, it was clean.
‐ Yeah.
‐ How are you doin'?
I'm okay.
I'm thinking about you.
Well, back at you.
And I'm pulling for you.
Maybe we'll
see each other later?
No.
[ Donna ]
15th detective squad.
One moment please.
Detective sipowicz,
line one.
Janice?
I k*lled angelo marino
and his driver.
I know giardella copped to it,
but I did it.
I shot him in his car.
Detective, I'm gonna
stop you right there.
If you want to give a statement,
we should get a d. A., And you
should have a lawyer present.
‐ I don't want a lawyer.
‐ Then I think you should see
a d. E. A. Delegate.
Donna, is there a detectives'
endowment association delegate
in the building right now?
Uh, detective conklin
is here.
Okay, tell conklin I need him
in interview one and get
the riding d. A. In there.
Okay.
Excuse me.
You should go
to interview one.
Yeah, all right.
‐ What going on, lieutenant?
‐ I can't talk about it
right now.
‐ Is she gonna be okay?
‐ I can't talk about it.
[ Conklin ] in here?
Around the corner.
Sector car picked up our guy
for the missing g*n.
They're bringing him over.
Father downey.
Detective kelly.
Okay, when he's
finished saying mass,
Will you tell him to come over
to the 15th precinct
immediately?
Important police business.
Yeah. Thank you.
‐ What's that all about?
‐ I. A. B., Andy.
She's turning herself in.
Det. Licalsi has told me
she k*lled angelo marino
and his driver.
I've placed her under arrest.
She's aware of her rights,
And she'd like to give
a full statement now.
I think you should have
a lawyer representing you.
I'd like to
get this over with.
Detective,
Without knowing the details
of the situation here,
I think before you say
anything else, you should have
a lawyer representing you.
‐ I don't want a lawyer.
‐ You sure?
I'm sure.
Detective, you are confessing
to a crime alfonse giardella
claimed he committed.
That was part of a deal.
It made giardella
look better to confess.
Let's start
at the beginning.
Detectives,
they're bringing up your guy.
Okay, gerardo,
this is what we got.
Now, we can lock you up for
sale of a stolen firearm,
Which is felony whiff
number two, am I right?
Serious time.
Or you can tell me
how you got the w*apon
and maybe walk away.
You makin' me the heavy
when all I did was
try and save my ass...
And make a few bucks.
Nobody's makin' you the heavy.
Just tell me what happened.
Were you on the street
when that sh**ting
happened this morning?
Is that when you picked up
the w*apon or did you
get it from somebody else?
Look, I didn't have any choice.
You know,
I'm a puerto rican...
Standing on a block
full of pissed‐off brothers...
And a p. R. Cop
just k*lled someone.
You're damn right
I picked up the g*n.
You see the sh**ting?
The guy who got shot
was hassling with
the red‐faced guy...
In the next car,
and he shoves a g*n at him.
Then the p. R.,
Next to the red‐faced guy,
he blows the black guy away.
And here come the g*n
flying out the window,
Landed on the curb
right next to me.
Is that the w*apon?
Yeah. Yeah, all scratched up
and stuff. No b*ll*ts.
Brothers wouldn't be too happy
when they found that out either.
You sure it was empty?
If it wasn't, I could've
sold it for 50 bucks more.
Okay, I think you're
gonna have to make
a statement to the d. A.
Then I walk?
I think so.
Do I gotta
make the statement?
Yeah, I gotta.
We may be waiting awhile
for a d. A. To get this guy's
statement.
We'll just keep him
locked in the interview.
Detective kelly,
‐ There's a father downey
waiting downstairs for you.
‐ I gotta talk to this guy.
Come here, jerry.
Jerry, you know what
she's doing up there?
She's giving herself away
to a d. A. And internal affairs.
How did that happen?
You and I can't talk about this.
I put you two together so she
could get some piece of mind,
Not wind up in jail, jerry.
She's makin'
her own choices, john.
She's doin' what she wants.
What did you tell her,
she was going to heaven?
That you were going
to save her soul?
This is not stained glass.
This is the real world.
This girl is gonna get
popped and wind up in jail.
Is this your urgent police
business? Giving me a lecture
on the immorality...
Of doing my job as a priest?
If she goes to jail,
this is on your conscience!
Yeah, I'm all right
with my conscience.
How's your conscience, john?
Yeah, I'd like the location
of an open meeting...
In the lower manhattan
vicinity tonight.
Lower manhattan.
I don't know. 6:30,
Something like that.
Gramercy park, 6:30?
Uh‐‐
Let me ask you something,
is that a nonsmoking meeting?
'Cause I recently quit smoking,
And it's very difficult for me
to be around smokers.
Oh, it's not? See, well,
that's gonna be a problem.
St. Clements church on 24th?
That's nonsmokin'?
Yeah, but that's way across.
Crosstown traffic's
gonna be m*rder tonight.
Hey. Hey, pal, I'll worry
about whether I really want
to do this, all right?
Let me worry‐‐
Yeah, right.
Okay. Okay, yeah, right.
Thanks. Thanks a lot.
Hey. How'd it go?
Anything come in
on the sh**t?
Yeah.
We got the g*n
and an eyewitness statement.
Witness says they saw
the g*n point at you
and fly out of his hand.
There you go, huh?
Yeah, that's great.
I got alcohol, tobacco and
firearm tracing the w*apon
through the manufacturer...
In case danton
bought it legally,
to establish ownership.
‐ Toxicology come back?
‐ Not yet.
Why would the guy
act that way?
'Cause he was
an assh*le.
He was loaded
on something, james,
or he was nuts.
The wife said she thought
he started using dr*gs.
‐ Yeah, you see that, huh?
‐ Yeah, yeah.
We're ready
to give that i. A. B. Prick
a statement if he wants.
‐ He's tied up right now.
‐ Oh, yeah?
Listen, I'm gonna
go out for a little while.
You gonna run that trace?
I'm gonna wait for toxicology.
Where you goin'?
I, uh, I'll be back
in a little while.
‐ Okay.
‐ So, what's i. A. B. Doin'?
‐ He's talkin' to licalsi.
‐ Hey, I'm grateful you're
stayin' on top of this.
‐ Hey, are you kidding me?
You're the man.
‐ Nah, I'm grateful.
‐ Lookin' out for me.
‐ Hey, james,
You did a little
lookin' out for me
today too, huh?
Yeah, well, I know it was
a righteous sh**ting,
But, uh, I just keep
being upset, you know?
James, keep your chin up.
Booze will simplify your life.
You wrap your arms around
a bottle, it'll dance
with you every dance.
Pretty soon,
all your problems
start to disappear.
The apartment disappears.
The car... Disappears.
The wife and kid?
Phfft! Gone.
Of course you still
get to flop all these places...
Before you realize
your problems are over.
You know, you're still
showin' up at places...
Where you're not
welcome anymore.
And, you know, uh, then‐‐
You know, maybe you start
to let people down who try
throwin' you a break, you know?
Like by now you're
hanging some bad paper,
You know,
writing bad checks.
Maybe the cop who busts you,
you know, lets you back
on the street...
So's you can make good.
But you screw
those people too.
You beat bail.
You let those people down too.
And now you beat bail, man,
the thing to do is to blow town,
and you got to get out of here.
Your problem is not the booze.
The problem is new york.
The city's 100% unlivable.
The place to try
is atlantic city, huh?
Oh, man, so you hang
some more paper, and you
get the hell out of town.
Look,
Before I continue
with this chronicle
of unbridled success,
I just want everybody
to know that this story
has a happy ending.
Where was i?
Let me see. Um‐‐
I mean, at some point
you just may realize
that booze...
Possibly isn't good for you.
Your gallbladder's shot.
You get pancreatitis.
Hey, before I found a. A.,
The thing that helped me
lick booze...
Was cocaine
with a heroin comedown.
Oh, yeah. I mean,
I didn't quit drinking
cold. No, no.
I still had a few cocktails
'cause I needed them,
but I was tapered way off.
One reason,
my veins are pretty bad.
Hitting my veins with a needle
was pretty near a full‐time job.
Hey, man, I'm telling you,
if you stick around,
this thing comes out all right.
Is she done?
Yeah. We'll get her prints
and photo for booking.
All right, lieutenant.
She confessed
to k*lling marino
and his driver.
Said marino approached her
to hit you off leverage
about her dad.
She thought they were gonna
k*ll her, and it would ruin her
father if she came forward.
‐ In without a lawyer?
‐ She declined a lawyer, john,
over and over.
They gonna arraign her now?
What about bail?
Yeah.
My boss said to ask
for a hundred thousand.
Based on what?
She just turned herself in.
Can I speak to her, please?
Yeah.
Excuse me.
‐ Det. Kelly, robin wirkus.
‐ I'll have to call her back.
Can I get a minute,
please?
Sure.
Yeah, thanks.
No problem.
Hey. How are we
doin' in here?
Hey.
To be honest,
I'm a little dizzy.
Okay, all right,
then we sit down, all right?
This is like a dream.
Yeah.
Uh, I just gotta
get through it.
Yeah, yeah. Okay, now,
They're talkin' about
settin' the bond at $100,000.
Well, I got $2,500
in the bank,
And I got
$4,000 in equity
in my car.
Okay, and I got 10,000 cash
you can have.
No, johnny, it's okay.
Okay, listen to me,
listen to me, okay?
I want to get an attorney
in here for you.
No, johnny.
I want‐‐ listen to me.
There is guilty, janice,
And then there's guilty, okay?
Let me get a lawyer
in here for you.
Oh, johnny, it was right.
I had to tell.
And now we'll just
see what happens.
Okay.
All right. Okay.
And so if you could get me
a list of your employees...
With home addresses
and phone numbers‐‐
Gregory,
about your plans
for the night?
Yeah, I think I'm gonna
stick around and wait
for the m.e. Report.
You know,
stick around with james.
I meant afterwards.
Gregory, it's silly
for you to pay to stay
at that crummy hotel.
You could stay
at my place.
I don't know, donna.
My couch folds out.
You could sleep on that.
It's no trouble.
Uh, let me see how this thing
sorts out with james.
But thanks very much
for the offer.
Just consider it there.
Right. Thanks.
John, what happened
with licalsi?
She just copped
to the marino murders.
[ Scoffs, chuckles ]
How much of a lying p*ssy
was alfonse giardella?
They came at her
'cause of her dad, huh?
That's how they reached out?
When I was puttin'
the squeeze on marino,
They sent her after me
and she nailed them instead.
I say run her for office.
What moved her now?
She was all upset.
She ended up talkin'
to my priest.
She needs justice, huh?
Well, she came
to the right system.
John, i, uh,
I been to one
of those meetings.
Good for you, andy.
Yeah, it was really
a great uplift.
I'm gonna let
some takeoff artist
tell me how to run my life.
What are you talkin' about?
Ah, the guy
running the meeting.
Some paper‐hanging skell
I popped five years ago.
I gave him some rhythm,
he beats the appearance,
makes me look like ten cents.
He's my definite top choice
for life guidance.
Well, maybe you need
to go to another meeting.
Yeah, I don't know.
Detective kelly,
a norman gardner's here.
He wants to speak with you.
‐ Okay.
‐ And, uh, robin wirkus
said she'd meet you here.
Okay. Thank you.
Give my regards
to norman.
Yeah.
Hey, good for you.
‐ What's up, norman?
‐ This is on
the danton sh**ting.
What about it?
Look, I don't know how
we got off on such a bad foot.
Whatever you think, detective,
I'd just soon put my stories
on a level playing field.
But I'm in a very
competitive market.
I have a certain reputation.
It means certain material tends
to gravitate in my direction.
Yeah, garbage.
I am not looking
to hurt you people,
But I go on in 23 minutes,
and I know about the empty g*n.
What empty g*n?
I got a source, kelly.
The point is
nobody else has this yet,
and I got to make a living.
Now give me something else,
something that'll help me,
something I can use.
Otherwise,
23 minutes, my edge is
the g*n had no b*ll*ts.
Come on upstairs.
To the squad?
Yeah, come on upstairs.
So I'm hearin' rustlings
about a cop getting popped.
You know anything about that?
Yeah, let's talk about it
in here, okay?
In here?
Yeah.
Martinez did his job.
This was a clean sh**t.
Come on, detective,
I don't want to stand here
and argue.
You know how bad he feels
about k*lling this guy?
If you go with the empty g*n,
this is gonna make things
a lot worse.
Well, the g*n's
not my whole story.
But it's your edge, isn't it?
And if you use it,
you're gonna destroy this kid.
Now, you know that.
Look, I know for a fact
that the g*n aimed at
that cop was not loaded.
It was useless.
Detective martinez
was never in danger.
Come here, norman.
Okay.
I'm getting sick of you.
You understand me?
You tell me if this g*n
is unloaded or not.
Look at it.
This is the situation
they were in.
g*n pointed
at his partner, okay?
Same as him. You wouldn't
understand that.
Please stop.
You tell me if this is
unloaded or not.
I don't know!
You're right.
Empty. See?
But you couldn't
tell me, could you?
My god.
You're in trouble, kelly.
When I tell about this,
you're in big trouble.
Trouble for what, norman?
What happened?
Who's gonna believe you?
Get out of here.
[ Sipowicz ]
and the guy had just
wasted the store owner,
So the store owner's
dead on the floor.
Now he's got his g*n
on the clerk as she's
opening up the register‐‐
He's gonna k*ll her next.
As soon as she
gets the drawer open.
So in I come, you know.
I'm three‐quarters hung over.
I'm lookin' for a cup of coffee.
The guy spots me.
He turns his piece on me.
Now he's lookin'
to check my ticket
right now.
So I react. I reacted
just like you reacted,
and I take him out.
Now you couldn't ask
for a cleaner sh**t, right?
You know what I did
for the next three days?
What?
I puke.
All day and all night.
Is that right?
That's right.
If they had
an olympic event
for throwing up,
I'd be wearing
a medal right now.
I was never so glad
for three days to go by,
I'll tell you,
Which is the only way
that makes this any better,
You know,
is getting the days in.
‐ It's the only thing that‐‐
‐ detective.
Yeah.
Come on.
So how are we doing?
Good.
You've been in
one of these rooms
before, right?
Yeah.
[ Sighs ]
I guess you want
to talk to me.
Shook me up
when you walked
into that meeting.
Why? You still got
warrants out?
I got no warrants out.
But I hadn't remembered you.
I remembered you all right
when you walked in,
but not till then.
Well, you were
in the grip then...
Of the old demon rum
when I knew you.
Probably all tends
to blur, right?
Anyways, I'm working now.
Unless you got a crime
to report‐‐
I wanted to apologize
not showing up...
When you gave me that break,
when you got me
that o. R. Release.
No problem.
You got popped later.
I got popped later.
I still had the amend to make.
The what?
I wanted to make amends,
tell you I was sorry.
Hey, listen, you go
scratch your scab
someplace else.
Look, I'm not here on
a conversion mission, detective,
but just let me say one thing.
Hope you give the meetings
another chance.
Maybe you'll get luckier
with the next speaker.
Yeah, well, maybe
seeing you there...
Was a blessing
in disguise, huh?
You never know
how those things work.
Yeah.
Anyways, at the end,
we always have a meditation for
the addict who still suffers.
I had a good thought for you.
Good luck.
Yeah, thanks.
Maybe I'll try another one.
They got 'em
all the time, man.
Urology came back
on your sh**t, james,
And they confirmed
on a blood panel:
high levels of coke.
[ Medavoy ]
hey, there you go, james.
I guess that's why
he was acting so crazy, huh?
‐ That was it. That was it.
‐ That's why it happened.
That's right.
Lieutenant.
Licalsi's printed.
I'm taking her down
to central booking.
Statements on their sh**ting
at their convenience, okay?
We got a witness account
confirming our officers'
version.
And urology for the sh**t
came back positive for coke.
Good. Glad it turned out.
Well, it's not like
you came away
empty‐handed.
Lieutenant, you might want
to know my office released...
The licalsi arrest information
to the press.
Wait a minute.
You are going to take her
out in front of them?
I'm taking her down
to central booking, detective.
She's under arrest for m*rder.
Who sees or
doesn't see that happen
really doesn't concern me.
Lieutenant?
I'll fill you in.
Stop. Wait.
Give me your hands.
You ready? Let's go.
Get ready, guys.
It's a zoo down there.
We're ready.
[ Female reporter ]
that must be her.
[ Male reporter ]
janice!
Johnny.
‐ Just one minute.
‐ I'm gettin' scared now.
Get out of my way.
Get out of my way.
Hang in there.
We're here, janice.
We're here.
