Previously on nypd blue...
Oh, you son of a bitch.
What are you doing here?
All this time, accusing me!
I am not coming home tonight.
You were supposed to call me
yesterday.
I fell asleep the minute
I got home.
Everything normal?
Everything’s fine.
We booked our first night in
arusha at the momella lodge.
Who’s "we,"
or do I wanna know?
Ray maxwell and i.
Well, good night.
Good night, andy.
Hey.
Who’s the d. O. A.?
Dr. Albert lu.
It’s his office.
No forced entry.
Back room’s ransacked.
Who called it in?
Security guard, jim dobbs,
found the door open.
You talk to him?
No, I just got here.
Jones, medavoy, and ortiz
are doing a canvass.
Dobbs, come on.
I, uh, I had a lot of fun
last night.
Thanks again.
You bet.
Come on
I gotta talk to him.
Come here.
How’s it going?
When’d you find him?
I found the door open around
3:00 just after clocking in
At the checkpoint around
the corner.
I could tell you exactly.
The doc generally here
this late?
I’m only working here
three weeks.
You see anybody last night
that didn’t belong?
Around 1:30,
doing my rounds.
I saw this tall white guy
sort of hanging out by
the alley next door.
Sort of half in, half out.
Did you talk to him?
No, but he was gone when
I came around again at 2:00.
You don’t talk to suspicious
people hanging around alleyways?
I just thought
he was a junkie.
Did you hear sh*ts?
No, but whoever did this could
have used a sil*ncer.
Your little security office
got a tv?
Yeah.
Got a little space heater, too?
Keeps the place cozy?
I might have rested my eyes
for a minute.
Yeah, right.
Thanks.
What,
did he kick your dog?
You got something?
Yeah, from the doc’s
pocket ‐‐
Vicodin prescription for
angela stokes.
Get medavoy and jones
to run it.
I’m gonna go give ’em a hand
on canvass.
[ Indistinct talking over
police radio ]
Hey, uh, are you ‐‐
are you okay?
I’m fine.
Did I do something last night
that made you angry?
No. It was a fun time.
The little kiss‐‐did it make you
feel uncomfortable?
No, it was fine.
We should look for a way to get
to the d. O. A.’S family.
All of those are this
year’s cases,
And in the hall are the last
five years ‐‐ 2001, 2000.
’99, Et cetera.
Got it.
And I recommend waiting until
there’s a pile
Rather than running off the
minute something comes in.
John, I know how to file.
Monkeys can file.
The computer is for...
Personal work i’m doing.
I cleared it with the borough.
Are you a writer?
Yeah, yeah, I am.
I write movies.
But don’t ask if i’ve sold
anything
Or if you’ve seen any
of them,
’Cause the answer to both is
"no"‐‐for now.
Oh, I see.
Detectives, this is
david moore.
Dave.
He’ll be filling in while i’m
on safari.
Andy sipowicz, john clark,
connie mcdowell.
How do you say your name
again?
Andy sipowicz.
I’ll write down a phonetic
spelling.
Get anything on the canvass?
No, no other tenants were in
there late.
B.c.i. Have anything on
angela stokes?
A ton of pross collars.
Vice has a location to look
for her.
We got narcotics sweeping the
area around the building.
There’s a methadone clinic a
block down where junkies buy.
Maybe one of them saw
something.
Lieutenant?
Line one.
We pawed through the d. O. A.’S
records
And found a second office
in chelsea.
He worked with a partner ‐‐
raymond chambers.
He’s coming in.
Andy, we got a d. O. A. In an
alley off avenue "d."
You two okay lending a hand on
both cases?
Whatever you need.
Want us to come along?
We got this.
Let’s go.
Smokey smoke?
No, thank you, and you’ll have
to do that outside.
On your break.
Back in five.
Relax.
What do we got?
The d. O. A.’S a
terik el rahim.
A homeless guy called it in from
the corner bodega.
Who’s this?
The d. O. A.’S girlfriend,
a natalie inniss.
How’d she get hip?
Off the d. O. A.’S i. D.
I called to make the
notification.
How long you been on the
job?
About a year.
We notify on homicides.
That way, we control situations.
We get to see their reactions
when the news gets broke.
My bad.
[ Scoffs ] "my bad."
Jerk.
Natalie?
Detectives clark and sipowicz.
Very sorry for what happened.
Is this your boyfriend?
Yes.
Any idea
who’d wanna do this to him?
[ Crying ] no.
I can’t believe it.
When’d you see him last?
This morning.
Where was he off to?
Ma’am? Ma’am?
Ma’am, you can’t do this.
Come on. Come on.
I know it’s hard,
but this is a crime scene,
All right, if you want us to
catch whoever did this,
You gotta leave
the scene alone.
You can hold his hand
all you want
After the crime scene’s
done.
Come on. Take her.
[ Crying ]
Come on in, dr. Chambers.
Have a seat.
Before we say anything,
I need you to know how
devastating this is,
And not just to me
and dr. Lu’s family,
But to his whole community
of patients.
Of course.
Were you and dr. Lu
partners long?
Seven years.
He picked me up
out of columbia
Does he have any enemies
you know of?
None.
Was he faithful to his
wife?
Religiously devoted.
How was business?
For the last five years,
We’ve been billing $80,000 to
$100,000 a month, so thriving,
But that’s not what motivated
dr. Lu.
He was community‐oriented.
Hence the charity clinic.
And that’s where we found him,
the charity clinic?
He worked there
one day a week,
All free,
all on his own time.
He gave every ounce of himself
for nothing,
And i’m telling you, that’s what
got him k*lled.
How so?
He treated scum down there ‐‐
whores, junkies, cr*ck heads.
They would steal from him.
They’d get abusive.
Anyone specific?
I wouldn’t know.
Did the doctor ever mention an
angela stokes?
We found her name on a
prescription sheet.
I’ve never heard of her, and
it’s probably not her real name.
So when you say you think it was
one of his patients,
That’s less actual knowledge of
a thr*at and more speculation.
Which I base on having rotated
through plenty of county e. R. S,
Where I treated enough sh**t,
abscesses,
And o. D. S and cr*ck babies to
know that those people ‐‐
Race nonspecific ‐‐
Place absolutely no value on
human life,
Their own or others’.
I take it you didn’t
put in a lot of time
At dr. Lu’s free clinic.
I admired him for his efforts,
but no.
I did my time dealing
with those people.
Anything else?
We’re done.
I promised albert’s wife i’d
serve as liaison,
So when there’s developments,
I need to be contacted
immediately.
Prick.
Oh, hey, john wanted me
to tell you
That vice found
angela stokes.
They’re bringing her in.
Can I get some mud?
Help yourself.
So I overheard you’re a
screenwriter.
Yep.
Anything I might have seen?
No, not yet.
So what do you like to
write about?
What’s your genre?
I don’t pigeonhole myself, but I
like sci‐fi, thrillers.
I was working on this
fish‐out‐of‐water
romantic comedy, but...
Stalled on me.
Now i’m heading into more
reality‐based subject matter.
Like police work?
It crossed my mind.
I’ve got about a million stories
and i’ve always said
That in the right hands, they’d
make a great feature film.
Yeah, a lot of people think
their lives would make
a good movie.
99% Of them are wrong.
Hey, this is
the 1% here, pal.
But since you are looking into
reality‐based subject matter,
Maybe I could tell you some
of my stories,
Pitch them to you,
see what you think.
I’ll get back to you on that.
Shocking as it may seem, I have
led an interesting life.
I didn’t say anything.
Okay, thanks.
Terik el rahim owed two years
parole on a robbery‐homicide
From 20 years ago.
Back then, he was
marvin winters.
Marvin winters?
A market on bowery, right?
He b*at the owner with a pipe?
That was one of the worst
beatings I ever seen.
And that was just a robbery?
No grudge?
Him and a partner went in all
doped up.
Winters just lost it.
Guess it came back to him.
His p. O. Is lance edmunds.
He says he’ll keep himself
available all day.
Vice is on their way with
angela stokes.
Rita, connie,
you two talk to her?
You got it.
You know this is a lot of
attention
For a little bit of dope.
And hooking.
I gotta eat!
Where were you early this
morning, angela?
Working.
On who?
What’s up?
Account for your time last
night, angela.
With a lot of johns I
didn’t know
And didn’t ask for i. D.,
Why?
You know dr. Albert lu?
He’s my doctor.
For what?
Isn’t that between him
and me?
It takes a back seat to solving
a homicide.
What homicide?
You’re saying dr. Lu ‐‐
dr. Lu’s dead?
What’d you see him for?
For, you know, things.
Health.
You’re serious?
He’s dead?
When’s the last time
you saw him?
A while ago.
You talk to him recently?
No.
How come we found him with a
prescription in his pocket
Made out to you dated today?
Something you want to get off
your chest?
I called him about some
back pain.
Why lie about it?
He was supposed to give me an
examination, but he didn’t.
I didn’t want you to think he
was doing anything wrong.
Being so protective, you must
have been close.
He was a good guy.
Anyone you can think of who
might have thought different?
No.
All he did was help people.
Never asked for money,
never asked any questions.
Like, "do you actually have
back pain, or do you just
have a habit?"
Excuse me, but 15 years of
getting twisted around in cars
And doing guys up
against walls takes a toll.
I bet.
Not to mention getting b*at
about 60 times.
Did me a favor
’cause he was a good guy.
Come on, angela, you’re going in
for the possession.
We’ll talk to the d. A., See if
we can get you some play.
In the meantime, you’re going
downstairs to a cell.
Great.
Perfect day.
Terik was the most ideal parolee
i’ve dealt with.
That’s okay, you can call him
marvin in front of us.
This isn’t a guy who took the
muslim name because it was cool.
He was behind the program.
Like what, he stopped eating
pork?
In the year and half
he’s been out,
He’s started up a
community‐activist organization
Called life seeds‐‐
life seeds.
Which is
funded by donations
He went out and got
from major corporations.
So he was a shakedown
artist.
No, he wasn’t.
Every dime of that money went to
community services.
You saw the books?
Conn’s community center?
That was renovated with money
terik raised.
Pablo escobar built soccer
fields
When he wasn’t moving tons of
coke and whacking judges.
Who were his associates?
Lots of people.
He was out in the community
raising money,
speaking in schools.
Who was close to him besides
his girlfriend, natalie?
He had a buddy
eric green.
Eric green, who was in on
robbing
And b*ating that old man to
death 20 years ago.
Yeah, eric did 15 years.
They hooked back up after terik
got out, but they’re both clean.
Eric works for terik at
life seeds.
Terik watches out for him.
Terik have any problems
in the can?
First two years,
until he converted.
Nothing the last 16 years ‐‐
Model prisoner, made the board
his first time.
Let’s go talk to his scumbag
accomplice, eric green.
Hey. We know what terik did.
He knew what he did.
I’m telling you, this guy
was out there trying to
make a difference
With the second chance he got.
Another sociology major.
Have a seat, eric.
Got some bad news about your
friend terik.
Yeah, I heard.
His girlfriend told me.
You know anything about it?
I don’t know who did him.
He screw anybody over?
No, terik kept his nose clean
since he got out.
He keep women on the side, one
of them get pissed off, maybe?
No,
him and natalie were solid.
Look, i’m telling you, terik was
straight‐up muslim.
He was your best friend,
right?
And there’s nothing you can do
to help us find who k*lled him?
Last week,
he had to fire this kid
Who was working over at his
community deal, life seeds.
For what?
Taking money.
Cash donation came in, kid
pocketed it.
Terik fired him
on the spot.
What’s this kid’s name?
Shawn.
Shawn tomlinson.
I’m not saying he did anything,
but that happened.
You worked at life seeds,
right?
Yeah.
Doing what?
Helping out.
You help yourself to any of that
money coming in
Like you did at finnerty’s
market 20 years ago?
Just reach in and grab
what you can,
And if somebody gets in the way,
they get dealt with?
I didn’t k*ll terik.
There’s a lot of money
around that place.
Beats working.
Or did you get all
"rehabilitated" too,
like marvin?
If terik was here, he would say
assalam alaikum‐‐
God’s peace be upon you,
my brother.
I didn’t k*ll terik.
I wish I knew who did.
Can I go now?
Don’t deputize yourself
and get jammed up again.
If you find any information,
you let us handle it.
Can I go now?
Yeah, take off.
Assalam alaikum.
This is generally the stack
height at which I start filing.
Just finishing this thought,
So how about we give it
another inch?
So, greg, I was thinking about
what you said,
And, you know,
i’d be interested
If you had anything
regarding a serial k*ller,
Anything unusually grisly, or
with a sexual component.
Yeah, I could probably give you
a couple to choose from.
Cool. Cool.
Let’s meet at downtown grounds
at 8:00.
All right.
That’s that alternative‐type
coffee hangout place, right?
That’s the one.
Do I need to change?
Whatever.
Just be there at 8:00.
Just got off the phone with this
undercover narcotics
With the heads‐up on anyone
pedaling pharmaceuticals,
And he ran into this junkie in
thompson square park,
Wayne king, looking
to off‐load some vicodin.
What’s this king look like?
Tall, white, gets his methadone
afternoons on "a" and 7th.
A security guard saw a tall
white guy
In the alley behind
the doctor’s office.
We also found a woman who gave
the same description.
She’s no good for i. D.,
Though.
Get a photo of king and sit on
the clinic.
I’m assuming all your
work’s done.
Absolutely, lieutenant,
and having my computer
Is something I cleared with
the borough.
When you’re working my squad,
you clear things with me.
Got it.
We’re all caught up.
[ Pager beeps ]
John? I’ll be changing my pager
and home phone.
Make sure I get you the new
numbers
And they don’t go to anyone
outside the squad.
Of course.
Don?
Yeah, a lot of pages, a lot of
calls middle of the night.
Did you tell your lawyer?
Um...he’ll stop.
Sit down.
You know a terik el rahim,
shawn?
Yeah.
How?
Worked for him at life seeds,
this community outreach joint.
Why’d you stop
working there?
I wanted to leave.
After he caught you pocketing
donations?
Terik pressing charges against
me for that?
Must have pissed you off,
getting fired.
No, if I was mad at anybody, I
was mad at myself.
Where you been this morning?
Handling my business,
why am I here?
You got people
who can vouch for you?
Slept in till ten.
Ask my mom.
Moms don’t cut it.
Who else?
Just her, then I went down to
the corner bodega,
Got a juice, and read the
sports pages.
Terik pressing charges on me
or what?
Terik’s dead.
Oh, no, no, no.
No way, man!
I don’t know nothing about
that!
I slept in
then went down to the bodega!
Who’d want terik dead?
Listen, man, he was out there
helping a lot of people,
But some weren’t ready to be
helped, you know?
Like you?
I’m talking about hard‐core
dudes, man!
He was mixing it up with
g*ng‐bangers,
Trying to broker a truce, get
them jobs.
Any one of them could have,
but not me!
We’ll check out your story.
Meanwhile, you’re staying here.
That’s messed up about terik.
He was a great man, better than
any of us.
Better than us, huh?
Yeah! You out there talking
in schools
Or building community centers,
giving people hope?
I don’t think so!
No, we’re out there trying to
keep people safe
From assholes like your
old boss,
Who b*at an old man’s brains in
for 75 bucks.
That was a long time ago,
man.
Get up.
We should put you in touch with
the victim’s kids,
See how long ago it was
for them.
Terik was a great man!
He was a m*rder*r!
You should tell him about
frank delgado.
Sorry?
In your spitballing session
tonight with dave,
You should tell him how
frank delgado dumped
Those six pross in
the east river.
That was a good case.
That wasn’t bad, but I got
some stronger stuff.
Just make sure you get stuff
in writing
Before you really commit to a
business deal.
I’m not too worried.
Dave seems like an open guy.
He laid things right out
on the table.
It’s the quiet ones that are
full of surprises.
I’ll remember that.
And, you know, doesn’t work out,
I made a new friend.
Got it, greg.
What’s up?
Guy in the rasta hat,
that’s him.
Don’t move, wayne!
Ugh!
What’s up, man?!
What is this?!
He’s got a g*n.
Got any needles
on you?
No!
Don’t think
you’re getting away
With that 20 bucks
you owe me, wayne!
Shut up, or you’re all
going in.
Yo, man, that ain’t my g*n.
It’s his.
Shut up!
I can’t tell you how I got
that g*n.
All I know is it’s not mine.
It fall out of the sky,
wayne?
When I smoke a dub and drink,
I black out,
So i’m saying it was planted
on me.
Uh‐huh.
I’ll get him situated.
He a perp?
Could be.
He had a piece on him.
I couldn’t get in touch with you
last night.
I wasn’t feeling so good.
You talk to the doctor
about it?
Baldwin, i’m not gonna be around
for the next few days.
I’m gonna take some time
and see my folks.
All of a sudden?
I really can’t have this
conversation right here.
Come here.
[ Door closes ]
[ Sniffles ]
Are you sick?
I miscarried yesterday.
Why didn’t you call me?
What happened?
I don’t know.
There was some blood ‐‐
Are you all right?
You seen a doctor?
Yeah, I went in.
I’m fine.
[ Crying ] but the baby...
[ Sniffles ]
I gotta go now, okay?
I just can’t miss my train.
Why didn’t you call me?
I didn’t want to talk
about it.
I gotta go now.
I’ll call you tonight.
[ Crying ]
I’m so sorry, valerie.
Me too.
[ Door opens ]
[ Door closes, knock on door ]
[ Door opens ]
Want me to take this alone?
You okay?
What’s wrong?
She miscarried.
Oh, baldwin.
Look, let’s just...
Go talk to this guy.
No, let’s get some coffee or go
for a walk or something.
Let’s just go talk to
the guy.
Whatever you want.
[ Door opens ]
Thanks, josh.
Anytime.
Can I talk now?
Sit down!
Wayne, I don’t wanna hear a word
out of you
Unless you’re answering a
question.
This is a big misun‐‐
shut up, wayne!
Do you know who
dr. Albert lu is?
No, I do not.
What were you doing last night
at 2:00 in the morning?
At this club on avenue "d."
We got a witness puts you
Outside dr. Lu’s medical office
building at 2:00.
It couldn’t be me.
Where’d you get the
pharmaceuticals we found on you?
I got ’em off a friend.
Who’s your friend?
I’d rather not say.
Wayne, the .38 we found on you
is on its way to ballistics
And will be determined to be
the same g*n used
To fire 6 b*ll*ts into dr. Lu
at 2:00 a. M.
I don’t know nothing
about it.
The inventory of pills you were
trying to peddle ‐‐
They will match the pills stolen
from dr. Lu.
The little flecks of blood on
the sole of your shoes ‐‐
They will match up to
dr. Lu’s blood.
When all these things are added
up by a judge and jury,
You will be put to death.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Your only chance of getting out
of this alive
Is by telling us what happened
and why.
I didn’t do anything.
Come on.
You’re going in the cell.
Just hold on!
I didn’t do anything!
I was there.
Baby doll did it.
I don’t know her real name.
Baby doll did it.
Sure, wayne.
I’m serious.
She do tricks, right?
And she sh**t junk, too.
So I seen her around.
And yesterday she says to me
she needed a g*n
And she got an easy score and do
I want in on it.
So we get buzzed in.
And baby doll go get the doc.
She says she’ll watch the doc
while I go get the stash.
So I give her the g*n.
And I ain’t gone 10 seconds when
I hear "pop! Pop! Pop!"
Then I hear "pop! Pop!
Pop!" Some more.
I come out.
She’s standing there,
g*n’s smoking,
Spitting on the doc,
cursing his ass,
And kicking his dead body in
the stomach.
Why was she doing that?
She’s psycho!
I didn’t know she was psycho
before, but here we are.
Where are we gonna find her?
Avenue "c."
Up. You’re pointing her out.
Okay. Okay.
[ Telephones ringing ]
You know, the lieutenant
Frowns on excessive personal
calls at work.
I got one rule, and I made it
very clear to the borough ‐‐
I gotta be reachable.
’Cause unlike these other
zombies in the p. A. A. Pool,
I’m trying to get out of here.
I got plans and I need to be
reachable when my agent calls.
All righty.
This tomlinson kid’s story
check out?
Yeah, mom vouches he was racked
out till 10:00.
She credible?
Yeah, but it’s still his mom,
you know.
Bodega owner confirms that he
saw tomlinson at 11:00.
We also went by and talked to
terik’s girlfriend.
She couldn’t give us much.
Where was terik headed
this morning?
She’s saying he didn’t
tell her.
He did take off in a car that
hasn’t been recovered.
We put an alarm out on that.
Anything from the m.e. Yet?
Two sh*ts close range with large
caliber.
Both went through the body.
Neither was recovered.
So now what?
We’re gonna go through terik’s
parole folder
And check out some of his other
associates.
Let me know if you need
anything.
Detective, I need to speak
with you.
This temp is a disaster
waiting to happen.
We’ll keep him in line.
Well, I can’t leave you guys
like this in good conscience,
So i’ll just have to cancel
the vacation.
John, nothing against
your abilities as a p. A. A.,
But we’ll survive
if you leave.
It’ll be better if I stayed.
Plus, this whole trip...
You worried about flying
still?
I’m just worried that
maybe it’s too soon.
Ray and I have only gone out
for a short time.
When you go away with someone,
it’s make or break.
It’s a vacation.
Go and have a good time.
This is the first person
i’ve met...
In a long time that i’ve
really cared for, and...
Allowed myself to be
intimate with.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Keep it clean here.
Okay...
I’m having a panic att*ck.
No, you’re not.
I don’t want to screw
this up.
I don’t want to go back
to being alone.
John, you’re a good guy.
This ray maxwell ‐‐
he’s a good guy, and...
When you got two good guys,
you know...
Ay.
The last trip I took with
someone
Ended in a shouting match
at a sushi bar in cancun
Over me wanting to see the ruins
and him wanting to go clubbing.
We took separate flights
home.
Look, who cares?
These things are gonna happen.
But you gotta decide if you’re
gonna stay crawled under a rock
Or if you’re gonna get out there
and take your chances.
Be a man.
You’re right.
They found terik’s car over in
long island city, torched.
I’ll go.
I’m going.
And everything will be fine...
Right?
Absolutely.
Whatever happens.
We’ll take the girl.
Any other collars are yours.
Freeze!
Police, freeze!
Get down!
All right,
that’s enough!
Leave me alone!
You baby doll?
You gonna calm down?
That’s a no.
Assholes!
Yeah. Come on.
Down on your knees.
Cuffs.
Put your hands behind
your head!
Let’s go.

is that your real name?
How long you been working
the streets, lisa?
I don’t know.
Long enough to know an easy
score when you see one?
Or was what happened last night
more complicated than that?
I don’t know about any score.
We know you did it,
we know who you did it with,
And we got people out there
looking for wayne right now.
Don’t know him.
You do, and right now where’s
we determine
If this was two sick junkies
Too stupid to pull off a robbery
on an upstanding citizen
Or if there was something else
going on.
What does that mean?
You tell us.
See, a guy with six rounds
pumped into him ‐‐
That doesn’t say "botched
robbery."
Meaning you knew the doctor
from something prior.
Unless you tell us why,
you’ll go down as a psycho
Who k*lled a decent guy
for no reason.
Decent, my ass.
You’re saying he wasn’t?
I’m a runaway, right?
I’m broke, i’m hooking,
i’m doing too much dope.
But that doesn’t make me less
than anyone else or any doctor.
What did dr. Lu
do to you?
I got word from this woman
About this doctor who liked
young girls,
Would trade prescriptions
for sex.
I’d go to his office,
he’d do his thing.
Then i’d leave with a
prescription made out to her.
What’s her name?
Angela stokes.
You give the scrip to angela,
she’d get it filled,
You’d split the dope.
That’s how she explained it to
me ‐‐ real simple.
How’d it get complicated?
I don’t want to tell you.
Was it something of a sexual
nature?
If you want to call it that.
I don’t.
Normal people don’t.
This all happened yesterday?
A couple of days ago.
I spent the whole day yesterday
in the shower,
And I couldn’t get clean.
[ Crying ]
So I called angela
And asked her if the doctor
wanted another get‐together.
She said yeah,
so I went back.
With wayne.
He had the g*n, but...
Wayne just thought it was gonna
be a robbery.
All right.
I’m not a piece of toilet paper.
What he did, the doctor.
You can’t do that to people.
Not even someone like me.
[ Sobbing ]
The guy over here is
jerry hopkins.
He saw it, called it in.
We’re gonna need crime scene to
look for two slugs here.
Jerry?
Yeah?
What’d you see here?
Black guy running away
from this car.
Flames had just started.
Where’d you see that
from?
Second floor.
What were you doing
up there?
I own it.
I’m renovating.
You were looking out the
window when it happened?
I heard a big "whoosh," and I
ran to look.
I thought my building
was going up.
What else can you give us
on this black guy who did it?
I’m here living by myself.
I’m a sitting duck.
Don’t worry about that.
It ain’t coming back at you.
This is for insurance
fine print.
He was medium height, but built.
You know, stocky.
Light skin? Dark skin?
Dark, real dark.
Had a shaved head.
Younger? Older?
Wasn’t no kid.
Like in his 40s.
Thanks for the help.
Thanks.
It says something to us, eric ‐‐
you not skipping town.
It says to us you were wanting
to be caught
And have this be over with.
For what?
For k*lling marvin.
If you would’ve walked away,
no one would have seen you.
Setting fire to the car brought
attention to yourself.
You’re going up for this,
and if you take this to trial,
Then all the people that knew
you and terik
Are gonna come up with their own
stories,
And you’re gonna be hated.
You want to have them
glaring at you in court?
You tell us what happened,
And you won’t have to go through
another trial.
I ain’t talking to you.
Then talk to me.
I ain’t talking with him
in the room.
You can kiss my black ass.
All right.
Don’t you talk.
We’ll go with our witnesses,
And we will lock your
black ass up
Without no statement,
all right?
I ain’t talking to him.
What do you want to do here?
If you want, i’ll take it.
Yeah. Take off.
Shut up!
Don’t you ever ask me to leave
in front of a suspect again.
He’s not gonna give it up
with you in the room.
I’d have got it out of him.
It’s going bad in there.
Oh, you think so?
And this is coming from your
vast four months’ experience
As a detective.
If i’m too invested or the perp
has it out for me,
Doesn’t it make sense
having me leave
If it means getting the
statement?
We control the room,
not him.
I’d have never given this
assh*le the pleasure
Of chumping you out in your
own house.
Yeah, o‐okay.
What you did cuts my nuts off
as far as that guy’s concerned.
So either I spend the next six
hours tuning him up
To earn them back
Or you go in alone and
get lucky.
Up to you.
That’s one r*cist prick
you hanging out with.
Hey, that’s enough!
He was in uniform
When you and terik robbed and
k*lled that man
20 Years ago!
He saw that guy’s head opened up
on the floor!
I didn’t k*ll nobody!
Terik did!
But I did 15 years, okay?
I didn’t k*ll nobody.
So terik not make it right with
you when he got out?
He only did three more years
than me. That’s fine.
He come out all converted,
that’s fine.
But now he got these guilty
white folks
Throwing money at him,
And I got 15 years of living
to make up for.
You just wanted a piece
of the action.
No, I got it coming to me.
But he just gonna give me
$200 a week,
And I gotta answer phones and
set up tables
And kiss people’s ass
for it? Unh‐unh.
So I stopped doing it.
He say he gotta stop
paying me.
What went wrong this morning?
Look, I call him.
I just want to talk this out,
just remind him.
So he picked me up.
I lay out my case.
He just gonna shake his head
And then he gonna reach in his
pocket and pull out 200 bucks
Like I got a hat in my hand,
talking about "this is it."
He gonna cut me off!
Talking about I got to go out
And find my own way,
my brother.
15 Years, man!
15 Years ’cause of him!
We went in that market to
snag a beer,
And I got 15 years put
on me, man.
Look, you just make sure the
people know that
When they ask you what happened,
that’s all.
Where’s the g*n?
I threw it in the river.
I’ll make sure it goes down
that it wasn’t premeditated.
That’ll help you out.
I don’t even give a damn
no more, man.
Thanks, lisa.
Take care.
So what now?
I had a sh*t at night court.
You know a pross who goes by
"baby doll"?
No.
Young girl, minor,
black hair.
You pimped her to dr. Lu
For god knows what kind of
sick behavior.
I don’t pimp anybody.
You do and you’re a collar
for it
And endangering the welfare
of a minor.
You want to face a full bit?
Fine with me.
But since we’re looking to keep
the girl
From having to go through
chapter and verse on the stand
About your messed‐up operation,
We’re gonna let you help
yourself with a statement.
Up to you.
Okay. Yeah.
I gotta get by, too,
you know.
It’s not easy.
Shut up and write.
Okay, now, I showed you where I
keep the coles directory
And the numbers for the borough,
the m. E., And b.c.i.
You sure did.
And this is my number at home,
Where i’ll be checking messages
daily in case there’s a problem.
We went through this.
All right, i’m going.
Not before we buy you a
send‐off beer.
That’s very kind, but I haven’t
even started packing,
And then I have to go to the
pharmacy for sunscreen and ‐‐
No problem, john.
It’s okay.
Have a fun trip.
Sit.
Anyone for a beer?
The sun’s going down.
That’s worth celebrating,
isn’t it?
Count me in.
Me too.
I’ll meet you there.
So, uh, we’re all squared away
then, right, dave?
Prepare to be dazzled,
lieutenant.
Uh, andy, connie,
you coming?
I, uh, I gotta catch up.
Not tonight.
Beer, fellas?
Either you’re with us
or you’re against us.
I can’t do it.
I’ll take miss stokes here to
central booking,
Then i’m going home.
I gotta pass, too.
So, greg, 8:00?
Yeah, dave, it looks like i’m
gonna have to cancel.
Wow. You hung in there for what,
five hours?
What perseverance.
I’m just saying another time.
Yeah, whatever.
Hey, dave.
I got a story for ya.
This p. A. A. Wanna‐be writer
Spends his day typing
on his computer
and talking on his cell phone
When he should’ve been
doing his job,
Until the detectives
in the squad get so sick
of this assh*le
That they pull his shirt over
his head like he got in
a hockey fight,
And they toss him out a window.
What do you think?
[ Giggles ]
Think, uh,
you and I should be talking.
Tomorrow, you’re just a p. A. A.
No problem.
Up.
Detective, raymond chambers.
Any progress with the case?
Hey, josh, will you get her
downstairs for me?
I’ll be down in a minute.
Yeah, we made an arrest.
I asked to be kept informed.
We’ve been busy
with the case.
The asian‐american physicians
association
Wants to run an in‐depth
obituary on dr. Lu.
They would like some information
about the m*rder.
The woman that was here, doc ‐‐
the prost*tute ‐‐ was involved,
As was a 16‐year‐old girl who
can’t stop crying
’Cause of the sick things your
partner did to her.
You want to know more?
Uh, I screwed up today.
The guy went.
Yeah, but I did it wrong.
It won’t happen again.
My bad.
Pbbhht.
Good night.
Night.
Good night.
You got time for a coffee before
you head home?
I got to finish these 5’s.
Yeah, I got some paperwork,
too,
So whenever you’re ready.
Hey.
Hey, greg.
I can’t tell you how sorry I am
that valerie lost the baby.
Thanks.
I’ve been a real idiot
lately.
It’s not all on you.
No, I saw you becoming friends
with clark,
And I felt threatened, and I
acted out.
I apologize.
Accepted.
That’s it.
I’ll leave you alone.
Hey, after I finish with angela
in central booking,
I was gonna watch the knick
game.
You want to stop by?
Yeah?
Yeah, if you want.
Sure. Sure.
All right.
What are we celebrating
again?
Which one is the
"show me" state again?
Missouri.
Here’s to the "show me" state
of missouri ‐‐
Whatever the hell
that means.
Show me? Are you serious?
Show me what?
That’s what i’m saying.
I think it’s about them being
skeptics or something.
Hmm.
Hey, rita, you expecting your
husband?
No.
I’m sorry.
I know I shouldn’t be here.
No, you shouldn’t.
Isn’t this cozy?
Cozy, cozy, cozy.
Don, get out of here.
I knew it.
I knew it.
You knew what, don?
You’re drunk. Go home.
I’ll get you a cab.
How long you been banging her,
tony, huh?
Don’t make an ass
of yourself.
You couldn’t handle a white guy
Pulling one of your girls out of
the neighborhood.
Don’t come by our
station house again.
I’m telling you.
You banging her, too,
tough guy?
I don’t want to have to throw
you out on your ass.
It’s okay.
I’m sorry.
Just go!
I miss you.
Oh, my god.
I’m sorry for what i’ve
done,
But I can’t stop thinking
about you,
And i’m just asking
for a second chance.
No.
I love you.
It’s over!
You need to accept that!
Neither one of us was
perfect.
I never cheated on you,
don.
I know you want to believe that
to make yourself feel better,
But I never did.
So you want to be enemies,
I guess, huh?
I want you to leave.
Enemies it is.
Here you go.
All right.
So we got our coffee now.
Did everything go all right
after I left last night?
Yeah.
Then what’s the problem?
There’s no problem.
You trying to talk me into one?
You’ve been acting completely
weird today.
Stop it.
Is it about me kissing you
last night?
No, what would the big deal be
about...you know, why would i...
Yeah. Yeah, it is.
Andy...
I love you and theo dearly.
I really do.
And last night, I was...
I was just so happy,
it just came out.
I wasn’t trying to be coy
or flirt.
Well, all it did was
make me think
How we’ve been spending a lot of
time together
When you should be spending your
nights out there
Meeting some guy that you could
be with, go the distance with.
Thank you for looking out
for me like that,
But i’m fine.
And this spending time with you
and theo has meant a lot to me.
It feels comfortable.
It makes me feel good.
And i’ve been hoping...
That it’s been making you
feel good, too.
It has.
Good.
All i’m saying is you’re gonna
need to find someone your age
To have kids with and start a
family with.
That’s not gonna happen.
Sure it will.
You’ll find the right guy,
and boom.
I can’t have kids.
Like, physically, i’m not
able to.
I had complications when I was
15 when all that happened,
And, uh, I can’t.
Oh.
So spending all this time
together,
It’s about spending time
with theo.
[ Sighs ]
If this is a problem for you,
then okay.
I don’t want to complicate
your life.
[ Sighs ]
