Previously on "nypd blue"...
I got a son
to get out of jail.
Go home and sleep it off.
’Cause who needs me.
Is that it?
Nobody needs you like this.
I’m last to know
he’s locked up.
When I do find out, it’s,
"sipowicz has got it handled."
I’m more up to speed.
What’s the beef this cop
has with my son?
I thought investigating cops
was an internal affairs job.
I’m not looking at cops,
just one cop‐‐ you.
I know it’s a lot
to go against your partner,
But clark was set up
by laughlin.
I can’t help you, detective.
"You can’t help me"
is different than saying
you don’t know anything.
I don’t know anything
either.
So we’re nowhere?
This just might
take a little time.
So, I gotta
b*at this at trial?
You might have to prepare
yourself for that‐‐
Goin’ to trial.
And I b*at it how?
Neil mazur, lives alone,
gay‐type literature around‐‐
Advocate, so forth.
Shannon can run it.
You help with traffic.
They got guys for that.
Then go lean
against your car.
By the way, i’m documenting
all this harassment.
Every comment,
every accusation.
Get outta here.
All right.
I gotta testify in court
anyways.
I’ll see you after lunch.
You want him
to bring you down, too?
Leave him alone.
We got another d. O. A.
The boss wants me
and rita to respond.
Go on. I got this.
Do you?
Connie, you made your point.
Who called it in?
Neighbor found the door open,
heard the tv on all night.
[ Clears throat ]
What?
I had to put my mom
in a nursing home.
I got three brothers,
but none of them got the means,
So i’m the one
who’s gotta take care of her.
I’m sorry to hear that,
shannon.
We can talk about it
some other time.
I got kids.
My wife’s a stay‐at‐home mom.
I’m the provider
for my family.
Did you see laughlin
put dr*gs on clark?
I’m not trying
to be a martyr.
Did you see somethin’?
I do my job and mind my own
business like everybody else.
Clark is gonna
do time for this.
Do you have any other leads?
Don’t feel me out
for what else
I got on the case.
Can I stay out of it?
Either you saw something
or you didn’t.
Either you stop clark from
getting framed or you don’t.
What happens to me as a cop?
What happens to you as a man
If you don’t be a man
about this, shannon?
Did you see laughlin
plant heroin on clark?
No, but‐‐
But you saw something.
You know something that
can prove laughlin did it.
Yeah.
[ Sighs ]
During the traffic stop,
I saw officer laughlin
Remove a small package
from under the driver’s seat
And put it in his pocket.
In the car, officer laughlin
got his personal bag out,
And he put
the package in it.
I knew it must
have been heroin.
What makes you so sure?
I’ve seen hundreds of packages
that contain heroin.
Each bag had a stamp on it‐‐
a red crown.
The heroin found in clark’s
car had red crowns.
What else?
That night,
End of tour,
Officer laughlin pulled
a slim‐jim out of the trunk.
Clarify what a slim‐jim is.
It’s a device used to gain entry
to a locked vehicle.
I asked officer laughlin
what he intended to do.
He told me to look
the other way on this one.
Tell ’em about the threats
he made.
Days prior to the night
i’ve been talking about,
Officer laughlin
repeatedly stated
He was gonna get
detective clark back.
Specifically.
Officer laughlin said
it was a street fight now
Between him and clark‐‐
No rules, anything went.
Why did it take two days
for you to come forward?
That doesn’t make
any difference.
He’s coming forward now.
Wait out in the hall,
officer.
Once you void the arrest,
i’ll notify the d. A.
Not to proceed
with the arraignment.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
not quite.
What else you need,
a burning bush?
We got two cops and a detective
all saying different things.
Meanwhile, the dr*gs
were found in clark’s car.
I’ll take it to my chief.
No one’s getting out of jail
Until we figure out
what is going on.
I can tell you
what’s going on.
Detective clark got framed
by officer laughlin.
You want to continue
with your investigation, fine,
But clark gets released now.
Void the arrest,
or i’ll call the d. A. Myself.
I’ll take care of it.
Quickly. That’s how you
took him in.
That’s how you’re
getting him out.
Busy squad you got here, tony.
You should sell tickets.
Those phone calls you need
to make to void the arrest‐‐
You can place them
from my office, captain.
Hey.
Uh, kim walker.
Paper boy found her.
Slashed up good.
The place is a little busted up,
but no sign of break‐in.
That guy‐‐ lives in
the basement apartment‐‐
Says she’s
a community activist.
Haven’t talked to him yet.
Timothy bosham.
"Women, take control.
Don’t let gangs run your life."
All right, we’ll take him.
[ Cell phone rings ]
hello?
Mr. Bosham,
Detectives medavoy and jones.
Look at ’em‐‐
circling like vultures.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
What’s that mean?
Neighborhood’s gone to hell.
I understand she was trying
to do something about it.
She ran a group,
had meetings‐‐
Noble but futile,
as you can see.
Can you think of anyone
that might have done this?
Look around you.
I’m not saying that
’cause they’re black.
They’re drug dealers.
Were you home last night?
Slept at my mother’s in nyack‐‐
scrabble night.
Yeah, we got it. Thanks.
Got nothin’ for you.
Didn’t ask anything yet.
Why are you looking away?
She got nothin’
to say either.
If any of you get
your head out of your ass,
Rita ortiz, 15th squad.
Idiots.
They’re gonna lock up laughlin.
John’s getting out of jail.
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
Close the door.
What’s going on?
Close it.
Officer laughlin,
we’re placing you under arrest.
Oh, you’re joking.
Possession of dr*gs,
official misconduct,
Obstructing governmental
administration,
And other charges determined
by the d. A.’S office.
Surrender your g*n,
your shield, and your i. D.
Whoa. This is crazy.
I didn’t do nothin’!
You’ll get your day in court.
Meanwhile, do what I tell you.
Go easy, we’ll let you change
out in the locker room.
Keep flexin’, you get
processed in your uniform.
This is that clark thing.
You think I set him up.
They know you did.
You’re done, laughlin‐‐ done.
[ Sighs ]
Hey. Let’s go.
Getting arraigned?
You’re going home.
Shannon rolled on laughlin.
He saw him plant the dr*gs
in my car?
He saw enough.
[ Sighs ]
Laughlin’s getting locked up?
Yeah. Come on.
It’s done. It’s over with.
Come on.
I was beginning
to think that‐‐
Come on.
He looks good‐‐ healthy.
He wasn’t in the gulag,
medavoy.
I can’t believe
he’s working today.
I’m sure he gave
you proper thanks,
But you’re getting more
from me.
Thanks, andy.
We’ll have sipowicz
run the case for you.
He already did.
Anyone been working it?
A co‐worker said
the gay d. O. A., Neil mazur,
Was living with a spanish guy,
arturo jimenez,
On parole,
stock boy at a market on b.
We’ll grab him.
Your g*ns and shield
are downstairs. Welcome back.
Thanks.
It’s great to see you.
Hey.
My man.
Connie:
welcome back, john.
Best I could do
on short notice.
I appreciate it.
I’ll put them in some water.
Okay.
You got a minute for me?
Then we’ll go?
Yeah, take your time.
Looking for detective ortiz.
Uh, she’ll be back
in a minute.
I got info
on who k*lled kim walker,
And I ain’t got time
to waste, so‐‐
I’ll be right with you.
[ Sighs ]
Rita, someone here
on our d. O. A.
[ Clears throat ]
let’s go.
Hey.
What’s your name?
Dreda.
You were throwing
a lot of attitude.
Why the change of heart?
I got a name for you. That’s it.
No time for conversation.
Let’s hear it, then.
Shakedown,
all right? We good?
Not quite.
Who’s shakedown?
Banger, second avenue pred,
Hangs out at a record shop
off third.
You a banger, too?
I knew this was stupid.
Tell us, or we run you with
the g*ng unit, find out anyway.
I roll with the queen bees.
You got a relationship
with shakedown?
I know his old lady, rhonda.
Were you ever his old lady?
No.
So, delivering him to us
Wouldn’t be about him
hooking up with this new girl?
Or pissing you off
in some other way?
Man, y’all got rocks
in your head.
We’ve been b*rned before.
Why shakedown?
Look, rhonda was
on a different track.
Kim was helping out.
With her outreach program?
Shakedown didn’t dig it.
He got in kim’s face, slashed
the tires on kim’s truck.
Bad stuff.
Where is he now?
Gone. That’s why
I say it’s him.
This is an awful good deed.
What’s in it for you?
I was in the program
on the sly.
Kim was a good lady‐‐
stand‐up.
Is that good enough for you?
Shakedown’s real name.
Troy wiggins.
Can I go now?
Appreciate your help.
Sit down.
You did nine months
for as*ault, arturo?
Yeah.
What was that all about?
It was at a bar.
I was wearing a bronco hat
When this fool
in a raiders jersey
Poured beer on my head,
so I took care of business.
Where were you last night?
I was at my girlfriend’s
parents’ house in white plains.
Girlfriend?
Yeah. That’s what
I said, right?
’Cause last night
Your old boyfriend,
neil mazur, got k*lled.
You call me maricón?
If maricón means
you and this neil
Were hitting each other
in the seat, then, yeah,
that’s what i’m calling you.
Sit your ass back down,
arturo.
All right, all right.
I know neil.
But I don’t want no confusion
As to what the deal was
when I was living there.
All right.
What was the deal, then?
When I got out of rikers,
Neil gave me a place
to crash. That’s it.
55‐Year‐old rich gay guy
takes in an ex‐con,
So you were, what,
giving him career advice?
I said i’m no maricón.
Arturo, we’re gonna find out
what happened,
So if you start to lie
about one thing‐‐
When I got out, me and my girl
weren’t talking, and I didn’t
have anywhere to go,
So I stayed at neil’s
till I got on my feet.
A week into it, he comes
in my room and climbs in bed.
Starts rubbing down there.
I get it now, man.
Nothing is for free.
So I close my eyes
and pretend it’s my girl.
Why’d you move out?
Comes into my room last week,
And I see him
tear open a condom.
I told him to step,
and I got outta there!
Haven’t seen him since.
How’d you and neil
meet in the first place?
While I was still in rikers,
through a homeboy‐‐
Hidalgo tavarez.
What’s hidalgo’s
connection to neil?
I don’t know, man.
They’re pen pals or something.
Anyway, when I
was being released,
Hidalgo knew
about my situation,
So he told me to ring up
neil when I got out.
And that’s what I did.
So, we’re not gonna
find any evidence
Of you being at neil’s
last night?
Nope.
You didn’t go back there
to get another handout,
no.
To close your eyes and pretend
he was your girl again?
I told you i’m not a h*m*!
Sure, you are.
You take care of business
last night, arturo?
I was with my girl.
Yeah? We’ll see about that.
Sit down.
Give us her information.
[ Telephone rings,
indistinct conversations ]
John, would you mind getting
mr. Bosham here situated
In interview 3‐‐
maybe get him some coffee?
How do you take it?
Black, but only sanka,
and if not sanka, then tea.
All right...
Timothy bosham.
Our d. O. A. Kim walker‐‐
Her downstairs neighbor.
Whatever happened
to shakedown?
Nowhere to be found.
He was locked up in jersey‐‐
Drunk and disorderly‐‐
late last night.
So, he’s off the list.
What’s with bosham?
We got a call back from another
tenant in the building‐‐
Said walker and bosham
didn’t get along.
Said bosham used to leave
notes on her door.
We went to her place,
found a whole file’s worth.
Has bosham got a record?
No, nothing.
Very particular man.
See where it goes.
Any calls from john’s dad?
Nothing through here.
He doesn’t know john’s out?
He’s not home,
and his cell’s off.
Did you leave messages?
All over.
Let’s move on.
We got higher priorities.
Just a couple of follow‐up
questions, mr. Bosham.
Shouldn’t take long.
Good. Trash can?
How’d you get along
with kim walker?
Fine.
Didn’t live too loud
for your taste?
Her levels could be
a little...
Irksome.
Loud stereo, people talking?
She used her apartment
for a meeting hall.
You ever have words
with her about it?
Why are we having
this conversation?
You left her
a lot of nasty notes.
"Please keep your music
at a respectable level"?
That’s nasty?
"Well, the noise level
of last night’s meeting
"Only served to prove you’re not
only as attractive as a gorilla,
You’re just as conscientious."
That was a joke.
Oh, they’re fighting words.
Trust me.
That was an outrageously
loud evening.
Did she have another one
last night?
I wouldn’t know.
I was at my mother’s.
You didn’t pay her
any kind of visit?
No.
We’ll find out if you did.
[ Chuckles ]
Are you...
Actually accusing me
Of k*lling
another human being?
It’s clear you’re
a guy with a temper.
If it got away from you,
tell us now
Before we start looking at you
for planning something out.
Oh, please.
I didn’t k*ll kim walker.
I told you‐‐
third time now‐‐
I was at my mother’s
in nyack.
[ Telephone rings,
indistinct conversations ]
Anything on him?
Check his alibi.
He’s a real whack job, though.
A whack job who’s
gonna lose his teeth.
Detective clark,
your father’s downstairs.
He gathered
all the uniforms around
And said he wanted to make
an announcement.
I think he’s been drinking.
He’s a good kid, good son,
But if that doesn’t make any
difference, he is a good cop.
Oh, man.
There’s guys in this precinct
Tried to ruin his career,
Tried to ruin his life
with some rumors!
Come on, dad, come on.
That ends now.
John is not
with internal affairs.
I am!
I put in my papers,
so don’t worry about that.
If you have a problem,
take it up with me,
But you leave my son alone!
He didn’t do nothing!
You leave him alone!
His dad meant well.
Yeah, so did custer.
Where’s jones and medavoy?
They’re bringing in
this levar rush.
Crime scene lifted his prints
in kim walker’s apartment.
Levar’s got ties
to the second avenue preds‐‐
Same g*ng that was
hassling the d. O. A.
Uh, sorry about all that.
Don’t worry about it.
What’s going on
with our case?
Arturo’s alibi panned out.
I kicked him 10 minutes ago.
How about this guy
hidalgo at rikers
Who arturo said hooked him up
with the d. O. A.?
Got life for k*lling
his girlfriend’s ex.
Let’s go talk to him.
Full day.
You get your dad home
all right?
Yeah, got him in a cab.
Hey, you okay?
Fine. Let’s hit it.
So, it says here that you
were sentenced to three years
In wallkill
for robbery‐as*ault, levar.
And you did every day of it.
Yeah.
Someone inside you
don’t get along with?
Or you just like fightin’?
I only get so much
out of hoops and bench press.
You’re a funny man.
You run with
the second avenue preds?
I don’t run with a g*ng.
That’s not
what our g*ng unit says.
They’re wrong.
You ever been
by an apartment building
At 1820 avenue b?
Doubt it.
You know a woman
named kim walker?
No.
Ran an anti‐g*ng program getting
female bangers outta the life.
Doesn’t ring any bells?
It does not.
What’s up?
Kim walker was m*rder*d
early this morning,
And your fingerprints
are in her apartment.
What did you say
that address was again?
Here we go.
No, I might have been there.
I was just breakin’
y’all ass a little.
Yeah, well, you done?
’Cause we got ways
of breakin’ ass, too.
1820 Avenue b.
Yeah, I been there.
Early this morning?
No, a week ago.
She was putting stuff
in my girl’s head.
I wanted to put a stop to it.
Did it get physical?
Nothin’ physical needed.
I laid out my case.
She heard it calm and cool,
and I split.
Account for yourself
earlier this morning.
I was in bed with my girl
getting my bag lapped.
Lucky lady got a name?
Dreda lopez.
Is there a problem?
You’re sticking around.
What’s up, yo?
Detectives sipowicz
and clark.
What’s goin’ on?
Thanks for talking to us.
No problem.
What precinct you guys from?
15Th.
Oh, yeah. Okay.
You know a neil mazur,
hidalgo?
Sure, I know neil.
How?
This inmate
letter‐writing‐program thing.
We wrote back and forth.
He took interest in my case.
He’d come down
and visit sometimes.
You hooked him up
with an arturo jimenez?
Yeah.
More like you
pimped arturo out.
I got the hint after a while
neil was gay and liked latinos.
Guys I knew
that were getting out‐‐
Good guys, lookin’
to make it on the outside‐‐
i’d set them up with neil.
I’d tell them to walk
around with their shirts off
And he’d give them
room and board.
Anything beyond that
was their business.
What was in it for you?
Neil was looking
into my case,
Looking to maybe
get me a lawyer.
Why the trip out to rikers?
Neil got k*lled last night.
Oh, hell.
Can you point us
in a direction?
On the off chance
you happen to be
A "what’s in it for me" type,
We saw that you’re heading up
to attica in a few weeks.
You help us
with who k*lled neil,
We’ll get you to sing sing,
a little closer to the city.
Jose rincón.
He got out a month ago.
Jose made contact with him
when he got out
Without me knowing about it.
Neil said jose was trying
to shake him down for money.
All right.
If jose’s the guy,
We’ll get you transferred
to sing sing.
You don’t need to do nothing.
Neil was good to me.
He helped me.
This is me helping him.
Clark: on the gate!
This is great.
You don’t think people saw you
dragging me out of my place?
You don’t think that’s
gonna get back to people?
Levar rush your old man?
So what?
Where was he last night?
I don’t know.
Out with his boys.
Hmm.
He said he was with you.
All right, yeah, yeah.
I’m getting the days confused.
He was with me.
He ever go by kim
walker’s apartment?
He ever been inside?
She wouldn’t let him inside.
’Cause he threatened her?
One time he came by
during a meeting.
But he never went inside.
He just stood on the street.
What, reading out poetry?
Screaming and throwing
beer cans at her window.
It happened once.
I quit going to see kim.
He laid off.
What’s up your ass
about levar?
We’re curious how his print
wound up in kim’s apartment.
He wasn’t with you
last night, was he?
I got the days mixed up.
You’re protecting him.
You’ve been doing it all day.
How?
Giving up this shakedown,
Who you damn well knew
was locked up.
I swear to god,
I didn’t know that.
You were giving us a tail to
chase to throw us off levar.
He was with me last night.
You got kids with him?
Little boy.
Makes sense not wanting
to send his dad to jail.
But is it right,
him getting away with this?
[ Sighs ]
Man, come on.
No. Look.
17 s*ab wounds.
She deserve that?
No.
Then why are you lying
for the guy who did it?
I got a whole life
i’m involved in.
The bad one that she
tried to get you out of?
I don’t back up my man,
Ain’t nobody gonna look me
in the eye ever again.
This lady was your friend.
She tried to help you.
All you’re doing is sticking up
for the guy who k*lled her.
[ Sniffles ]
He wasn’t with you
at all last night?
Not last night...
Not this morning.
[ Crying ]
Son of a bitch.
You wanna come, you gotta
pick it up from me. That’s‐‐
Jose rincón?
Yeah.
Get back at you later.
When was the last time
you seen neil mazur?
Don’t know no neil mazur,
at least by name.
The old gay guy you found
through hidalgo tavarez.
Okay, now, hidalgo‐‐
him I know.
I think you know more than that.
Let’s talk at the station house.
You guys hassling me
because of what
hidalgo tavarez told you?
You in business with a snake.
All he do is play people.
We’ll talk about it
down there.
Me and hidalgo
went at it in rikers.
He’s had a hard‐on
for me ever since.
Now, I never heard of no neil
whatever his name is.
Let’s go.
I didn’t do nothing.
Come on.
[ Tires screech, horn honks ]
[ Siren wailing in distance ]
Ohh!
Get your hands up.
Yeah, most guys who don’t
do nothing tend to run.
That’s why I ran.
I owe time.
I knew you guys would find it
if you searched me.
Planning ahead‐‐
that’s good, jose.
Do your thing, man.
Send me to rikers.
Gonna have a conversation
with hidalgo.
Come on.
No, man, what’s up?
What y’all so freaked out about?
We talked to dreda.
You weren’t with her
last night.
That bitch
ain’t backin’ me up?
Bitch is lying.
That’s how you’re
gonna put it to the judge?
"Bitch is lyin’"?
You need a sympathetic
angle, levar.
I’d start with the ideas kim
was putting in dreda’s head
And how that was threatening
your manhood.
You callin’ me a punk?
Kim promoted education,
right?
That don’t make me a punk.
When dreda’s in school,
who’s making the meals?
Were you putting on
the apron?
Hell, no.
But that’s what kim
expected, right‐‐
A whole "division of labor"
type thing
That doesn’t exactly fly
in your social structure.
You’re the man.
You bring home the dough.
But kim didn’t get that.
It got violent.
I told you‐‐ her and me‐‐
We had a conversation
about that.
Yelling from the street
isn’t a conversation.
We’re talking about going
to her place this morning.
I wasn’t there.
It wasn’t me.
We’re past that.
The question now is
"how did it go bad"?
It wasn’t me.
"It wasn’t me"
and "bitch is lyin’"
is a sorry defense,
But if that’s what
you want to go with,
you’re going in the cells.
We’ll get the d. A.
Get on your feet.
Y’all lockin’ me up?
You lied about your alibi,
your prints are
in her apartment,
So, yeah, i’d say so.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
Can I ask a question?
Say somebody was involved
but he was put up to it.
Is there a way
to defer the prosecution?
"Defer the prosecution"‐‐
You mean, like,
spread the blame around?
Say someone got a key
to an apartment.
The person who gave him
the key‐‐ they get some, too?
Yeah, they might get
most of the prosecution.
But that’s only with a full
disclosure of what happened,
Or you get
the whole prosecution.
Who gave you the key
to kim walker’s apartment?
Downstairs neighbor‐‐
a white guy.
Timothy bosham?
I wasn’t doing jack.
I was buying juice in a bodega.
Whiteness rolls up, offering me
a key to this lady apartment.
Why?
He saw me yelling
from the street that time
And said we
had a mutual interest
In seeing her run off.
He also said she had
nice stuff in her crib.
He said smash the place up
And write "get your ass out"
on the wall,"
And take her stuff.
All good.
But how’d she end up
with all those s*ab wounds?
Bitch walked in on me
in the middle of it.
I said, "sit down."
She said, "no."
I said, "sit your ass down."
She slapped my face.
Blame it on her strong will.
Bitch wouldn’t listen
to reason.
Can you stop calling her "bitch"
long enough to get it on paper?
And the prosecution
gets deferred?
Yeah. We’ll look into it.
Start writing.
About jose?
Yeah, the same jose rincón
Who shanked you
in the shower three months ago.
So?
So, we can’t help feeling
a little worked here, hidalgo,
Like you had us go lock up
one of your enemies
Who had nothing to do
with how neil mazur got k*lled.
I had a beef with jose.
That’s no lie.
But he did mess with neil
when he got out.
If jose is saying different,
he’s lying to save his ass.
Jose alibis out
for last night.
He didn’t k*ll neil.
I didn’t tell you he did it.
I said he’s someone
you should look at.
Clark: we checked
into your case.
The d. A. Said
that you had an appeal
That was dismissed
a few months back.
Your lawyer
was paid for by neil.
I told you‐‐
neil was helping me out.
The d. A. Said that neil
pulled the plug on your lawyer
The night before
your final hearing.
I didn’t know that.
All I heard
was I lost the appeal.
Hey, we know
this goes through you.
Yeah. I tunneled out,
k*lled neil,
Tunneled back in
before bed check.
Are you guys crazy?
You pushed the button on him.
You had one of your boys do it.
That’s way off, man.
You pipeline neil a bunch
of shirtless hispanics
In exchange for him
paying your bills.
Arturo goes over there,
he doesn’t put out,
Neil blames you,
and he cuts off the finances.
Way off.
Last chance, hidalgo.
You got a life sentence.
You point us in the right
direction, we’ll transfer you
to sing sing.
That’s a half‐hour
from new york
Instead of five hours away
like attica.
Attica’s fine with me.
I have an aunt and uncle
who live upstate
That my family can stay with
when they visit.
More important,
I don’t know who k*lled neil.
This guy was my only hope
to get my case overturned.
I wouldn’t k*ll my only hope.
If you are screwing
with us, hidalgo,
You are screwing
with the wrong cops.
I’m telling the truth.
You don’t want to believe me,
then don’t believe me.
Anticrime picked up a guy
driving your d. O. A.’S car‐‐
Chris aguilar.
Heard of him?
Not so far.
I’ll hit the computer.
Greg and baldwin?
Bringing in timothy bosham.
Aguilar will be up
in 10 minutes.
You want to cook tonight?
Thought i’d pick
something up.
It’s been four nights
of takeout.
[ Sighs ] I haven’t exactly
had time to cook.
I’ve been a little busy.
You’re right.
Takeout’s fine.
Tomorrow we’ll start cooking.
Yeah, that’ll be fun.
Have to admit, mr. Bosham...
You don’t look like the type
to do a violent m*rder.
Pardon me?
We talked with levar.
He’s giving a statement now.
Who’s levar?
Levar rush,
who’s crapping his pants
From witnessing your display
of psychotic behavior.
What the hell
are you talking about?
You k*lled kim walker.
Levar begged you to stop,
But you kept stabbing her
and stabbing her.
You want to talk to levar?
He’s downstairs right now.
Yeah, I would like
to talk to levar,
Because that’s
a flat‐out lie.
Well, it made sense to us.
Now, you had
a close relationship
With the previous tenant,
mrs. Cerillo?
She was my friend.
We hear you were pretty upset
when she moved out,
And the prospect of a new
tenant got you all riled up.
I had natural trepidation.
That levar said evolved
into a natural m*rder plan.
Nonsense.
You had a key to
mrs. Cerillo’s apartment.
So?
The door to kim walker’s
apartment was opened with a key.
Levar tells us
you brought him in
To do a minor robbery,
and then you flipped out.
How could I flip out
When I was
with my mother in nyack?
Anyone else vouch for you?
No.
’Cause mothers have been known
to lie for their sons.
That won’t stand up
in court.
Levar has a key, mr. Bosham.
We know that for certain.
If there’s another version
of the events,
Tell us, or we have to go
with his side.
If‐‐ if I left a key
where someone found it
And used it for ill,
That’s too bad.
So, you left a key out
for levar to use on his own?
Maybe under a loose piece
of concrete
On one of the stairs.
Which he was to use
for what?
That was up to him.
Did you tell him
she had expensive items?
Possibly.
And if someone
were to scare her,
It might be
mutually beneficial?
Again, possibly.
But break in her apartment,
s*ab her‐‐
Gentlemen, all I did
was drop a key.
May I leave now?
We need it written down.
Then we’ll see.
Pen, paper‐‐
the sooner, the better.
Driving around
in a dead man’s car, chris‐‐
That’ll get people talking.
I have an explanation.
Some guy came up and offered
200 to get rid of it,
Which I was in the process of
doing when cops pulled me over.
You just got out of rikers,
didn’t you?
Yeah, I passed a bad check‐‐
You were on the same tier
as hidalgo tavarez?
Yeah.
We’ve been talking
to hidalgo.
We know he’d been sending
strapping, young men
Like yourself
over to see neil mazur.
Neil’s the recently departed
owner of the car you’re driving.
I don’t know anything
about the owner.
Sure, you do.
Some guy gave me 200
this morning to get rid of it.
Don’t float that lie
again, chris.
It will not be worth
your while.
Trust me.
Hidalgo
sent you over to neil’s
So you could get
three hots and a cot.
In exchange, you let neil treat
you like an ice cream cone.
No, no, hell, no.
I don’t do that, man.
How do you think we know?
From hidalgo‐‐
from listening to him talk.
Now, we’re gonna
go back over there,
And we’re gonna
offer to let hidalgo
See his family more often
in exchange for info on you,
And if you don’t think
he is gonna pounce,
Then you are dumber
than you look.
If he has to tell us what
happened, you get no deal,
Because when we sit down with
the d. A., That’s how it works.
Chris? Psst!
You following us here?
When do you sit down
with the d. A.?
Look at it this way.
We got two seals here‐‐
you and hidalgo.
Whichever one barks
and claps its flippers‐‐
That’s the one
that gets the fish.
Do you want the fish or not?
Yeah. Yeah.
What happened last night?
Hidalgo told me to go over
to neil’s apartment.
He said neil would buzz me up
because he likes hispanics.
I did not have sex
with that guy.
Yeah, okay, fine.
So you get buzzed up.
Hidalgo said neil had a safe,
but he didn’t know where.
Hidalgo told me he wanted neil
knocked around real good.
I guess neil screwed hidalgo
over some lawyer.
In exchange for that, I could
have what was in the safe.
But neil
wouldn’t give up the safe,
Which pissed me off even more.
Plus I was high.
There’s no safe
in that apartment.
There isn’t?
No.
Hidalgo set you up.
He just wanted neil
to get hurt.
Why’d you do this
for hidalgo?
He gave me protection
when I was in the joint.
I owed him a favor.
I finished this
20 minutes ago.
May I leave now?
Afraid something’s come up‐‐
crazy thing.
You ever heard the term
"acting in concert"?
Why?
It’s a legal term.
It means leaving a key out
Knowing someone’s gonna do
a crime with it‐‐
You’re just as responsible
as the guy who did the crime.
So you’re under arrest,
mr. Bosham‐‐
Conspiracy to commit robbery
and felony m*rder.
Crazy, huh?
You’re joking.
You’re both insane.
Imagine
an inner‐city gorilla
Stumbling onto something
as complicated as that.
You knew what you
were doing all along.
You tricked me!
You’re giving me
too much credit.
I need to speak
with my mother.
Let’s go.
I want my mother right now.
On your feet,
or we’ll drag you out.
Clark: shannon.
I’ve been trying
to figure out what to say‐‐
How to thank you.
I just told the truth.
A lot of guys would’ve
taken it to the grave.
Yeah, i’m beginning
to see why.
They gonna let you stay
on the job?
I don’t know yet.
I’ll do everything I can‐‐
talk to everybody I can.
Thanks.
Oh, the other cops‐‐
from what i’ve seen‐‐
No one’s giving you heat?
They’ve been good.
Plus they weren’t too shocked
laughlin was dirty.
I should get home.
I just want you to know...
I would have done
the same for you.
I’ve thought about that.
That’s what made me step up.
Chris aguilar gave you up.
Said he owed you a favor.
That’s crazy.
You tell chris‐‐
[ Laughing ]
Okay, you got me.
I’ve been a bad boy.
I’ll make sure I don’t eat
dessert tonight.
I know about favors.
Oh, you do, huh?
Yeah. When I was in uniform,
I was partnered with this guy,
Kurt kreitzer.
We were looking for a guy
who held up a liquor store.
Kurt thought he saw someone,
so he fires a sh*t.
Turns out it
was a woman‐‐ a civilian.
Wow, fascinating.
The woman was grazed,
And I talked her
out of filing a complaint.
After that, kurt was
too skittish to be a cop,
But he owed me a favor.
Listen, today was great.
I haven’t had this much fun
since I don’t know when.
Hidalgo, you’ve been giving
me the runaround all day.
You had somebody k*lled.
At least hear my story.
Screw your story,
screw your buddy kurt,
And screw you.
He wanted a job where he knew
who the good guys were
And who the bad guys were.
Oh, I get it.
You came back because you want
what neil wanted‐‐
Some young latin boys‐‐
But you can’t come right out
and say it.
So he left the police force,
and he went into corrections‐‐
Good guys, bad guys‐‐
And he’s done
really well for himself.
Moved up to deputy commissioner
of administration
For all the pens
in the state.
He’s who I was gonna call to get
you transferred closer to home,
Back when I thought
That we were gonna
treat each other civil.
Why don’t you get lost, man?
Wendy correctional facility,
alden, new york,
A half‐hour
from the canadian border,
10 Hours from here.
They call it the icebox,
hidalgo,
So you have your family
send earmuffs
For those days where it gets
10 below in the yard.
And you are there
for the rest of your life.
Oh, so you’re trying to run
a game on me now.
The game’s been run, dickhead.
You ship out tomorrow.
Wrong cop.
[ Knock on door ]
Yeah?!
Hey, pop.
Hey, john.
Come in.
Rita’s coming over
in a little bit.
Hadn’t heard from you.
Dropped by to see
if everything’s all right.
Yeah, well, you know,
As good as can be expected.
You upset about today?
I’ll tell you, john,
That was like an elephant
stepping off my chest.
It’s out there now.
Let people say
what they want.
Would you have
said it sober?
Absolutely.
I wanted those cops
to leave you alone.
That was the only way
I knew how.
Your new job‐‐
they get wind?
Yeah. I was expecting that.
So, they let you go?
I care about you
more than some security job.
Hey, pop, you’ve been making
decisions lately
Based on what you think
my best interests are,
And it’s you looking out for me,
and I appreciate it,
But they haven’t been
good decisions, dad.
That’s what life is like
sometimes, john.
Or do you live
in some perfect world
That I don’t know about?
Letting internal affairs
flip you
Because you bought their bluff
they’d go after me?
Announcing to the world
that you work for them,
Even after I got released?
Those two moves alone
Have turned our lives
upside down.
And here I was thinking
I stood up for my son!
Dad, I love you.
You’re my only family.
But don’t make decisions
for me anymore.
You’re drinking too much.
That’s gotta stop.
Worry about yourself.
Take care of yourself.
I’ll be fine.
Well‐‐i’ll see you around.
