Previously on nypd blue...
Detective clark?
Jennifer devlin.
I’m treating ifeoma okefor.
For how long?
How much cash you got?
$50 Million.
Mallory was att*cked.
What?
It was real quick.
He came up behind me.
Jerry wells?
I couldn’t tell.
I know you’re behind
what happened.
I don’t know
what you’re talking about.
I’m gonna get you for this.
I got some bad news, frank.
The hospital called.
Michelle d*ed from the b*ating.
The child’s grandparents
are seeking full custody.
They can’t just walk in here
and do this.
They can.
They have.
You gave up a child out of
wedlock, he’s an alcoholic.
You perfect? The two of you
better be perfect.
They’re coming after us
for the baby.
Digging into us personally.
Any value in talking to
their son?
I can’t sit in a room
with him.
I can.
I’ll do it.
I’m not asking anyone to do
anything they don’t want to.
Morning.
Anyone running for you?
I just got here.
How’d it go with frank?
[ Scoffs ] nothing.
I had such high hopes, too.
I mean, he b*at
connie’s sister to death.
I put him in jail.
Why wouldn’t he bend over
backwards for us?
Owner says the guy
comes walking up, keels over.
Stabbed through the eye,
looks like.
Where is he?
The owner?
No, his third cousin.
I’ll get him.
[ Grunts ]
A big guy.
Colin bogle, 32.
Lives up the street.
Prakash sandahar.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, same here.
Can you tell what you saw?
If I do,
would you move the body
So I can
have my customers again?
Just kidding, of course.
He comes stumbling
down the street
With his hand over his eye
and falls down.
He being
chased by anyone?
I did not see that.
You seen him
around before?
No, but when I die, I hope
I die in front of his business
So he loses
all his morning customers.
I’m kidding.
Thanks for the help.
How long to move the man?
Now i’m being serious.
It’ll get moved
when we’re done here.
We can’t move him
around the corner?
I could grab his feet,
you grab his hand.
We’ll move him ourselves.
I’m kidding.
Get back
into your store right now!
I beg your pardon.
Very sorry.
This guy was probably
hired by the colahans
To bait me
into getting pissed off,
And they’re
videotaping me right now.
Andy...
It’s gonna be all right.
Where have you been?
Re‐canvassing
valerie’s building.
Anything?
No, nothing yet.
How’s she doing?
[ Sighs ] she’s shook up,
but, uh, fine, generally.
Jerry wells’ lawyer
called me this morning.
Said you nearly assaulted
his client the other night.
That’s a bunch of bullshit.
Also said you
threatened jerry last week.
"Pattern of harassment,"
he calls it.
I call it working the case.
Which I shouldn’t be letting
you do in the first place.
So start working it
with a little more subtlety,
Or we’re both in a jackpot.
What did canvass turn up?
Squat.
If the guy wasn’t blocking
the door to some bodega,
He’d probably
still be lying there.
Don’t get too comfortable.
I checked past activity
on the doa’s bank card.
There’s a lot of atm activity
at an otb on delancey.
Clark: that’s a block
from the crime scene.
We’ve been looking
into frank’s parents, andy.
Nothing’s jumping out yet.
I spoke to a bunch of
john colahan’s ex‐employees ‐‐
Nothing beyond the guy
being a tough boss.
The neighbor angle
doesn’t look promising.
There’s lots of turnover,
and apparently,
The colahans are the
keep‐to‐themselves type.
Uh...
Nothing from the fbi
or the A*F,
But I got a hit
from the d. E. A.
Clark: drug violation?
On february 11,
barbara colahan tried to bring
Six ounces of a dry
french cheese through customs.
The cheese contains trace
elements of hempseed ‐‐
Marijuana ‐‐
banned by d. E. A. Rule.
She paid a $100 fine,
and the cheese was confiscated.
The lady’s
a regular pablo escobar.
For what it’s worth.
Thanks, greg.
Uh, I got some other
calls out, too,
Including one to frank’s
high school guidance counselor.
We appreciate it.
I’m gonna hit this
otb, boss.
Any word
from her lawyer?
Nothing.
I’m not saying it’s gold,
But they could use
the cheese thing ‐‐
Goes to character.
Yeah.
[ Sighs ]
Bernie.
Andy?
Yeah, it’s been a while.
Yeah.
Me and bernie go way back.
So you a cop, huh?
Yeah.
Some reason I always
figured you for a butcher.
No, cop ‐‐
20‐plus years now.
Uh, anyways...
Yeah, colin bogle
a friend of yours?
I know him.
I wouldn’t say friend.
Clerk says you and colin
open the place every morning.
[ Laughs ] damn, I can’t
believe you a cop, andy.
Colin got
into a fight earlier.
Do you know anything
about that?
Yeah, we were watching
the ponies from the car.
I go take a leak, come back,
See this guy cr*ck colin
in the face right outside there.
Guy walks away.
Colin runs off
holding his head.
Guy have a w*apon?
Didn’t look like it.
What’d the guy look like?
Hard to make out from where
I was. Happened quick, too.
White guy, green guy...
White guy.
You didn’t go out there
and try and help?
He had it coming.
’Cause colin’s dead.
From getting hit
outside there?!
Yeah, it looks like it.
Well, he was the
get‐in‐your‐face type.
Look like he
got in the wrong face.
Minute to post.
Anything else?
Why don’t you
give us a second, huh?
[ Clears throat ]
So, how you been, bern?
All right.
You still playing
in your band?
Not for a while now.
Guess you haven’t
been going to meetings.
Don’t need to.
For my heart.
One a day.
Beer for your heart?
I got my life
under control, okay?
And you’re not my sponsor.
They’re going
to the starting gate.
All right, well, uh...
You take care of yourself,
bernie.
And, uh,
if you need anything...
Thanks.
Peter tatel was one of my
students in the early ’70s.
He’s a top aide
to d*ck cheney.
I’m sure that started under
your good guidance, ma’am.
Light milk, two sugars.
Oh, who knows?
But like I said, you generally
remember the good ones.
Which frank colahan was not,
I take it.
Thinking about it, he was
the type who spent more time
In the parking lot
than in the classroom.
Smoking, drinking...
Familiar with the routine,
detective?
More so than
i’d like to admit.
Hmm.
Did you recall
any inconsistencies
In frank’s behavior?
Anything that might suggest
difficulties at home?
I’m still not clear what you
need all this information for.
It’s my understanding
frank’s already in jail.
This is regarding
his sentencing.
Since there’s a possibility
of capital punishment,
Which is
a very serious thing ‐‐
Oh, I agree.
...if there’s anything
from his past home life
That might warrant
a more lenient sentence,
We need to know.
So you’re asking did I suspect
some kind of abuse in the home?
Frank’s an alcoholic.
He b*at his wife
and ultimately k*lled her.
We’re wondering if the apple
didn’t fall far from the tree.
But if I suspect it now,
why didn’t I report it then?
You’re asking me
to admit I was negligent.
Ma’am, this conversation’s
between you and me.
All we’re trying to do
is help frank colahan,
Who’s looking
possibly at death row,
And could use
all the help he can get.
For all I could tell,
frank was a born delinquent,
But his sister ‐‐
He has a sister?
Adrian.
She took such
a dramatic turn for the worse ‐‐
Grades, self‐esteem, hygiene.
It all went so quickly.
I don’t know if that helps
As far as gauging
what frank experienced at home.
Do you have any indication
Of what motivated
these changes in adrian?
I tried to talk to her about it,
but she shut down.
Do you know
where to find adrian?
Oh, I haven’t heard
of adrian in years.
But she had a good friend,
betty nagle.
She’s on the alumni committee.
She might know.
Doa got into a brawl
outside the otb
Rodriguez: any witnesses?
[ Scoffs ] half of one.
I just got info on
a loan shark, worked that otb
May have had
dealings with bogle.
Get him in.
I think I got something
regarding your custody issue.
Frank colahan’s great‐grandpa
was a rumrunner in the ’20s?
[ Sighs ] no.
Frank has
a sister named adrian.
You serious?
Not only that, but the
guidance counselor’s pretty sure
There was trouble at home.
Trouble for frank,
or the sister, or both?
She couldn’t specify, and she
doesn’t know how to find adrian,
But there’s a woman on the
alumni committee of her school.
She’s an old friend
of adrian’s,
So she’s getting her number.
Betty nagle.
Thanks, greg.
Good work, medavoy.
Crime scene called.
We just got a hit.
A cigarette box on the stoop
outside valerie’s building ‐‐
Prints come back
to a rick rinaldi.
Also matches one
they lifted from the door.
You run him through bci?
He was caught for drunk driving.
Address comes back to vista.
Hit it.
Any luck
finding frank’s sister?
I ran adrian colahan
through dmv ‐‐ nothing.
Sipowicz: so either she
never got a license,
Or she changed her name
before she got it.
I got a call into her friend
from when they were kids.
Waiting to hear back.
We’ll find her.
Tony grimaldi.
Yeah, uh, can you put him
in interview 3? Thanks.
Ortiz: he’s the loan shark
the doa was into.
Anticrime picked him up for us.
You’re
in connie’s interview?
I’m sorry, but I need to get
ahold of frank’s sister.
You and john take it.
Sure.
Thanks.
Ready?
Yeah.
Let’s do it.
[ Door opens ]
How’s the
shylock business, tony?
Gave all that up,
detective.
I just run my bar now.
That’s it.
So, the as*ault collar
you took a few years back?
What about it?
State liquor authority
might be interested
How a convicted felon
got a liquor license.
License ain’t in my name.
And i’m a little curious
as to all the hostility.
You loan any money
to a colin bogle?
I did ‐‐
a grand, two months ago.
He pay you back?
No.
You go looking
to collect a vig today?
No, i’ve forgiven
all my loans.
Don’t piss me off.
I swear i’m
out of that business!
I’m a promise keeper now.
A what?
Promise keeper.
I’m committed
to honoring jesus christ...
Through worship, prayer,
and obedience to god’s word.
Since when?
Last saturday.
My brother‐in‐law ronny
took me to this seminar.
I saw what
a wretched life I was living.
Praise be to god.
What about the promise
you must have made to colin ‐‐
The one about breaking his
kneecaps if he didn’t pay?
I’m done with all that now.
I’m committed
to spiritual, moral, ethical,
And sexual purity.
’Cause colin’s dead.
Colin’s dead?
Tony...
If this is some act, you hiding
behind some god‐squad bit,
I’m gonna come down
on you twice as hard.
It’s not.
Who else
would want colin dead?
Colin ‐‐ if I could set aside
my faith here for a second ‐‐
Was a real assh*le,
real scum of the earth.
Lot of guys would love to put
one in the back of his head.
But...that’s
the devil talking,
And i’ve kicked him
out of my life, so...
Where were you this morning?
With my wife and children,
Who i’ve committed
to rebuilding strong ties with
Through love, protection,
and biblical values.
We’re gonna call
and find out.
Go right ahead.
Just take off.
[ Door opens ]
Good to work with you.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay. Thanks.
Anything from the shylock?
He’s born again.
You’re kidding.
No, as of last saturday,
he’s a promise pilgrim?
Keeper.
Promise keeper.
There’s another angle to work.
Irvin got an anonymous call
from a pay phone
Saying that the doa was arguing
with a marty irons
Outside the otb
this morning.
Irons works at a music store
Down the block
from the crime scene.
This marty coming in?
Yeah.
Hey, you find
frank’s sister yet?
I left a couple of messages
for this betty nagle.
I haven’t heard back.
Any word on the grandparents
getting that supervised visit?
Not yet,
but the later it gets,
The better the odds
are it won’t happen.
15 Squad.
Detective clark...
Hmm? Who is it?
Dr. Devlin.
Uh, i’ll call her back.
Go ahead and take it.
I’m supposed
to meet her for lunch.
Just get the call over with.
Hey. I’m sorry.
I can’t make it.
I’m up to my ears.
Tonight works.
Yeah. Okay.
Uh, you too.
Marty irons.
Detectives sipowicz, clark.
Nice to meet you.
So, marty, you work at a
music store on delancey street?
Since high school.
The job’s putting me
through hunter.
I’m eight credits
shy of graduation.
B.a. In asian philosophy.
That’s great.
You know a colin bogle?
Frequents the otb
near your store.
Sure. He’d been coming
by a lot lately.
And doing what?
We have a large goatskin drum
from senegal on display.
Mr. Bogle would always
come in and bang on it,
Usually when he was drunk,
which was most of the time.
Did he bang
on it this morning?
Actually, I found him
urinating on our front door
When I came to open up.
You two go at it?
He did.
I asked him to leave.
He ran through
his usual laundry list
Of profanities and insults,
then he left.
Did you hit him?
No. He’s twice my size.
So you asked him to leave,
he ran his mouth, and he left.
And this took place
in front of your store?
Yes, sir.
We got a witness says
That conversation
took place outside the otb
Okay, I might have followed
colin down the block a little.
I take that back.
I was walking away from him.
He was following me.
See right there?
That’s what we call
an "inconsistency," marty.
What,
because I misidentified
Where colin and I argued
by half a block?
What difference does it make?
A big difference.
And now it’s
an argument you had,
Not you standing there
like abe lincoln.
I’m telling the truth,
And you guys are all
reading into little things,
Trying to make
something out of nothing.
One more time ‐‐
Did you hit colin
in the head this morning?
No.
Since we got you here,
Do you mind sticking
around for a lineup
To eliminate yourself
as a suspect?
[ Scoffs ]
Innocent folks usually
don’t mind doing it.
If it’ll...
[ Sighs ] okay, sure.
Up.
You always run
when you see cops coming?
Force of habit.
I’ve had some bad experiences.
Keep it
straightforward and honest ‐‐
You won’t have another one.
Now, explain what were you
doing at 225 university?
I never been there.
Explain your prints
off that building’s door...
Or off the pack of smokes
we found by the stoop.
Menthols, right?
Yeah, you know what?
Uh, it’s coming back to me now.
I was there.
When?
This weekend.
Trolling for janitor jobs,
must have stopped in.
Are you gonna take
these cuffs off?
You went there tuesday night?
Tuesday I was home,
watching tv ‐‐
That crocodile guy.
’Cause a woman got
att*cked there tuesday night.
No, not me.
And this woman ‐‐
she fought back.
Got her attacker’s skin
under her nails.
I’m getting a swab
from your mouth.
If the swab matches the skin ‐‐
I don’t gotta do that.
You’re doing it if I gotta
pry those teeth open
And stick my fist
down your throat!
What happened?!
Right now!
’Cause I got
no patience for self‐pity.
But you gotta understand,
i’ve been out of work two years!
Fast foods, stock rooms ‐‐
nobody hires an ex‐con.
What happened?
I needed money.
Why did you b*at on her?
I go for her purse, she starts
fighting, you know how it is.
Who put you up to this?
Nobody.
Jerry wells, rick!
I don’t know
anyone named jerry.
You want to take
a b*ating for this?!
I just said I did it!
Now you’re gonna b*at me if
I don’t put it on someone else?!
So you just randomly happened
on this building, that woman?
I can’t pay my rent.
I need money.
Nothing random about that.
If I find out this is
a hand job, i’ll take you apart.
Let’s go.
Um...
I’m not sure.
Well, take your time.
Don’t recognize nobody.
You sure?
If I wasn’t, i’d tell you.
Rodriguez: kick ’em.
Can I go now?
I need a minute
with bernie here.
Oh, here we go.
The lineup’s over.
I realize that.
Make it quick.
What’s the problem,
bernie, hmm?
You see some guy hit colin.
From across the street.
You afraid
of sticking your neck out?
You ingrate son of a bitch,
i’ve been helping you!
Something tells me you know more
than you’re saying, bernie.
I need to know everything.
I don’t like your tone, andy.
And I don’t give a damn
if you are a cop.
This guy colin,
who you knew, is dead.
You gonna look down your nose
at me ’cause what?
I drink a beer
every now and again.
No, we’re talking about colin.
We’re talking
about what you saw.
You’re gonna tell me how
to conduct myself,
Even though
no one’s asking you to?
That ain’t the case, bernie.
Here’s an idea ‐‐
You live your life.
Stay out of mine, okay?
I saw what I saw,
I told you what I know.
We’re done.
[ Knock on door ]
Hey.
Baldwin, you don’t have
to check on me every two hours.
I’m just bringing you lunch ‐‐
The lentil soup you like.
Thank you.
[ Clears throat ]
So, how you feeling?
Okay.
Putting on a brave face.
You don’t have
to do that with me.
It’s helping.
There’s enough for two.
Yeah, i, uh, I need
to get back in a minute,
But we made a collar.
Rick rinaldi ‐‐
you ever heard of him?
No.
Any connection to jerry wells?
He said he didn’t know wells.
You buy that?
We didn’t offhand,
But we gave him every chance
to deal wells off.
So this was just wrong place,
wrong time?
Yeah, it looks like it.
It’s not much comfort.
Knowing the guy that did this
Is off the street
is all I need.
And he is.
So there you go.
All right.
I better get back.
But wells knows to stay
away from me, right?
He knows.
So you were adrian colahan’s
friend in high school?
Yes. Now, is this about
adrian or frank?
Ultimately frank,
But we have questions about
their home life in general.
Shouldn’t you
be talking to frank?
We know it’s confusing.
Um, here’s where we’re at ‐‐
Frank’s going
up for sentencing,
And we’re trying to get
information about his upbringing
Because that will inform
the severity of his punishment.
And frank can say whatever he
wants, but that’s his version.
And his parents,
the colahans,
They’re not about to volunteer
anything negative
About how they raised him.
A little clearer now?
So this is to help frank?
This is to get
to the absolute truth
’Cause there’s a life
at stake.
I’m sorry. If you’re looking
to help frank,
I’m probably not the person
you should be talking to.
Why’s that?
He was a bad guy back then.
Obviously nothing changed.
He did something to you?
No. No.
He just ‐‐ he wasn’t a real good
brother to adrian.
Well, we understand that adrian
took a nose dive
At one point during
high school ‐‐
Started doing dr*gs
and drinking.
Was that problems with frank
or problems at home?
Frank...in my opinion.
Betty, we really
need you to be specific.
Adrian was a total
miss goody‐two‐shoes.
She never even kissed a guy.
Believe me,
I would have known.
And then one day,
she’s pregnant,
Ends up getting an abortion.
Personally, I always thought
that frank had r*ped her
Because he was such
a hoodlum.
Did you ever
ask adrian about it?
She wouldn’t talk about it.
And then when the drinking
and the dr*gs started,
That was basically
the end of our friendship.
We’re having trouble
locating adrian.
Yeah. She’s been married
and remarried.
I think her new
last name is caffee ‐‐
C‐a‐f‐f‐e‐e.
Hey.
I, uh, I was going through
rick rinaldi’s parole file,
And this jumped out.
Merchant marine,
based in genoa, 1988, huh?
That looked awfully familiar.
This is wells’ profile.
They’re shipmates?
Another conversation
with rick?
Yeah, definitely.
We really
appreciate it, betty.
Yeah.
We got a line on where to
find frank’s sister.
And the friend suspected
frank molested her,
And he might have got
her pregnant.
He molested his own sister?
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, proving it,
that’s another deal.
Well, it shines a light
on the family at least.
I’ll bring our lawyer
up to speed.
Yeah, i’ll ‐‐
i’ll track down adrian.
Uh, andy, we dumped
bernie’s cell phone.
There’s a call in to
the music store irons works at.
He placed it right after we left
the otb this morning.
I can take it alone
if you want.
Go ahead, andy.
I’ll make the calls.
It’s gonna be all right.
It was a bad family.
They couldn’t even raise
their own kids right.
I know.
Got it.
What’s going on?
Tell us about genoa, rick.
What, now?
Genoa, where your parole file
says you were stationed
With the merchant marines
in 1988.
Yeah, with jerry wells
as your shipmate.
That’s not the guy you
were asking about.
Oh, you know
damn well it was.
I haven’t seen him
in 15 years.
Then it’s some coincidence
You attacking the woman
that he’s in a beef with.
Guess so.
Now, this woman, the district
attorney, she means a lot to me,
And when I look at her
all bruised up,
It makes me want to k*ll
the guy who did this.
It wasn’t personal.
Shut up!
But i’m more interested in
taking down the guy behind it
Rather than
the idiot for hire.
I did it all on my own.
Unless that idiot keeps lying
straight to my face!
This is all on me.
Then that idiot will face
a full ride from the court,
But only after he takes a trip
to the alley with me!
[ Sobs ]
What’s going on here, rick?
Did jerry wells hire you?
No.
Does he have
something on you?
I’m sorry I hurt your friend,
but I did it on my own,
And if we’re going to the alley,
then let’s get it over with.
Made a call on your cell phone
this morning to a music store
Right after we talked to you.
So?
Marty irons works there,
Who was in the lineup earlier
and you failed to pick out.
I wasn’t calling
for no marty.
I just needed some
guitar strings.
We’re gonna haul your ass
in front of the grand jury
So that you can
lie to them.
Then you’ll end up
doing more time
Than the guy
who did the m*rder.
[ Sighs ] so this is
how it is, huh?
Looks like it.
Get on your feet, bernie.
Let’s go.
All right, it was marty.
I saw him hit colin.
And you didn’t tell us this
earlier because?
Colin was an assh*le.
Marty’s a good kid.
He lets me come into the store
and play the guitars
Whenever I want.
Why did you call marty
after we talked to you?
I was gonna tell him
to turn himself in
So I could stay
the hell out of this.
I ended up hanging up.
Who started the fight?
I looked over.
They were jawing at each other.
Colin shoved marty,
and marty did his thing.
And you weren’t involved
in any way?
Will you vouch for me here?
What did marty use
to k*ll colin?
Damn hands.
He’s into that jujitsu nonsense.
He didn’t use a Kn*fe,
maybe a pen?
He don’t need it.
He’s a karate man.
I’ll get marty in here.
So what happened, bernie?
Just some things.
My problem, not yours.
Got arthritis in my hands,
can’t play anymore ‐‐
Not good enough anyway.
What about your grandkids you
were so proud of?
All grown up.
So the alternative is getting
trashed every day at the otb?
I guess so.
We both know it’s ‐‐ it’s harder
living a right life.
I’m currently going
through something
Where people are using
my past against me,
And i’m getting
my ass kicked.
It’s hard.
It’d be a lot easier to just
duck into a bar and stay there,
But it’s not a life, bernie.
Is this what
you really want?
This is what I can
handle right now.
This is how I handle it.
[ Knock on door ]
Sorry.
I got ahold of adrian colahan.
Do you wanna come with me?
Yeah.
Okay, i’ll get the car.
All right, someone will
be coming in here
To get your statement.
I got your card already.
This is my home number.
You wanna go to a meeting,
wanna get some coffee,
Do whatever, whenever,
you just call me.
Baldwin,
let me take the lead.
No, I got it.
If you tee off on this guy,
it could be your job.
Greg.
Let me handle it.
What the hell
is this, now?
You’re a collar acting in
concert on as*ault.
Oh, perfect, more harassment.
I’m gonna own your ass.
Yeah?
Rick rinaldi just gave you up,
jerry, so it’s us owning you.
You want to talk a deal,
you got 30 seconds.
Sorry, fellas.
I don’t know a rick rinaldi.
Your buddy in
the merchant marines
Who you forced into
attacking a. D. A. Haywood?
I forced a grown man
into attacking someone?
We’ll call it
extortion, then,
’Cause he told us all about what
you’re holding over him.
How he’s into you
for 10 grand
’Cause his mom needs
a hip operation,
And this is how you
made him pay it back.
Your 30 seconds are up.
Whoa! Wait! Whoa!
That guy did a m*rder, okay?
That’s what I got to deal.
Rinaldi did a m*rder?
He’s not into me for money.
I saw him k*ll a guy
in a bar fight.
And where’d it happen?
’92, Gin mill in singapore.
Got into it
with a south african,
Smacked his head, and d*ed.
It was m*rder.
Which you’ve been holding over
him ever since.
A few errands here and there.
Yeah, like
b*ating up a woman?
Which I should
be able to trade
For the info on
the m*rder that he did.
We need what you said to rick
before we consider anything.
I told him to rough her up
and then we’re even.
Hey!
I should put a b*llet
in your brain.
Whoa! Whoa!
Baldwin.
You should
thank this man, jerry.
He just saved your life.
Come on.
You’re connie mcdowell?
Yes. Hi.
This is andy sipowicz.
Adrian caffee.
Come in.
Sorry for the mess.
How many you got?
Two ‐‐ boys.
So, frank.
It’s terrible what happened,
but I should tell you
I really haven’t spoken
to him in a long time.
Would you like to sit?
Thank you.
So...he’s in jail, right?
That’s right.
So what exactly
do you need from me?
Frank’s wife, michelle,
was my sister.
Oh, my god.
I’m so sorry.
She was pregnant when
frank k*lled her,
So I took custody of the baby,
And when I went to formally
adopt her,
Your parents came out of nowhere
and contested it.
Charging that we’re
unfit to raise her.
It’s basically left us
defenseless,
So we’re forced to look
into them.
Well, I haven’t spoken
to my parents in 15 years.
What’s the reason for that,
if you don’t mind me asking?
Well, I don’t see how
it’s relevant,
But we just don’t
see eye to eye.
Well, in talking with people,
We’ve found out that you and
frank both had tough childhoods.
I‐i’m really sorry my parents
are doing this to you,
But I don’t think
I can help.
You can tell us why you went
from being a really good kid
To suddenly doing dr*gs
and drinking.
What, I was the only one?
I was a teenager.
You could talk about
who got you pregnant.
Who told you that?
Did frank do that to you?
No. That’s crazy.
I got a lot to blame frank for,
but not that.
Then who?
That’s none of your
business.
I really can’t help you.
I’m sorry.
You don’t understand.
The hearing is in two days.
The kids will be home soon.
You should leave now.
If it wasn’t your brother,
was it your father?
Get out,
and I mean right now.
Adrian, help us.
If he forced you
to have sex with him,
What makes you think that he
won’t eventually do it again?
Get out!
Have a seat, marty.
I talked to some people
at your old high school.
The impression I got was
you had a hard time of it.
This is getting
a little ridiculous.
Your name was marty seamon
back then, right?
So?
And the other kids had a
nickname for you ‐‐ spooge.
Do you have
a question or not?
That’s what got you
into martial arts, right?
Karate, aikido ‐‐ both of which
you have black belts in.
What is the question?
Why am I here?
Dim‐mak ‐‐
death‐point striking.
Your internet home page
talks all about it.
It lists all kinds of ways
to k*ll someone.
My favorite is where you stick
your finger through a guy’s eye
Clean into his brain.
You see where this is going,
marty?
You k*lled colin bogle
this morning, and I know it.
I got a witness who
backs me up...
But he shoved you,
and that’s important.
I was defending myself.
Exactly.
So now the first thing
we need to work on
Is why you didn’t call
911 right then,
Why you’ve
been lying all day.
I was scared.
Okay.
That’s fine,
perfectly understandable.
And I was afraid no one was
gonna believe me.
I‐i was defending myself.
I understand.
When you go before
the grand jury,
You’re gonna wanna tell
your side of it.
Because some people
are gonna argue ‐‐
Even though he shoved
you first ‐‐
That since you know this
high‐level karate,
You’re at fault.
And some people
are gonna argue
That since you got teased
in high school,
The fact that you
have two black belts
Shows that you were
waiting for this day,
Waiting for a chance
to k*ll a bully.
That’s not true.
Hey, and I agree with you.
But that’s what people
are gonna say.
They also might point out
that if you didn’t have
All this training,
What would’ve happened is that
you punch colin in the nose,
And that’s the end of it.
Instead, colin is dead.
I didn’t want to k*ll him.
He had this crazy look
in his eyes.
He moved toward me,
and I reacted.
I’m sorry.
I’m not a bad person.
All right.
What you need to say is you
walked away from this guy.
He followed you,
got in your face,
You told him repeatedly to back
off, he came after you anyway.
Now, he was a huge guy.
You were in fear for your life.
I’ll put in a good word
with the d. A.
So you believe me?
If I didn’t, you’d be in a whole
different situation right now.
Wells finish his statement?
Yeah, we’re just heading to
central booking.
Rick rinaldi?
Yeah, he’s coming, too.
What happened in singapore?
That worth pursuing?
There’s no love lost for
rinaldi, but mope that he is,
I’ve been thinking press for
the maximum on the as*ault.
Let it go at that.
So?
Adrian’s not cooperating.
Any word from our lawyer?
Just that he’d be
a little early.
Anything comes up
with your attorney
That I can be of help
with, call.
How’d it go with marty?
He went for it.
I talked to the d. A.
He’ll push for justifiable.
Maybe adrian just needs
a night to sleep on it.
She threw us out,
so who knows?
Good night.
This late and still
no word on visitation.
I mean,
what does that mean?
I don’t know.
Connie, andy.
[ Clears throat ]
let’s talk in here.
Okay. Hi.
You got my message
About frank colahan being
willing to testify
In exchange for being
transferred to another prison?
I know it’s a long sh*t.
We can’t call him, andy.
You said the colahan’s
relationship
With their kids was crucial.
It is, but frank won’t testify
without an inducement,
So he’ll be easy
to impeach.
Beyond which, the testimony
of a convicted k*ller
Isn’t worth much.
What else we got?
There’s a daughter
in the picture ‐‐ adrian.
We think she may have been
sexually abused by her dad.
She’ll testify to that?
No, not yet.
Well, obviously we’ll
need her to testify.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay. What else?
How about you? What else?
What do you got for us?
[ Cell phone rings ]
Sorry.
Dan reardon.
Yeah.
All right,
they’ll be there.
The custodial visitation’s
been approved.
Don’t get discouraged.
This was likely.
The court just wants to see
How the colahans
relate to the child.
Now, here’s the address for
the family services building.
You’ll need to be there with
the baby in an hour.
Listen, assuming that we can’t
dig up any more dirt,
Where’s that leave us?
There are a lot
of positives here.
You two have bonded
with michelle.
You have a longer
life expectancy
Than her grandparents,
And we have a parade
of character witnesses
Who will sing your praises.
Is that gonna be enough?
We’re gonna do
everything we can.
Family court ‐‐
it’s a crapshoot.
And the colahans have a case.
You might have to reconcile
yourselves to the fact
That they may get shared
custody...or more.
We need a minute.
Sure.
I can’t believe this
is happening.
Oh, andy.
All right, listen.
You take theo and the baby
over to rita’s.
Stay there tonight, and don’t
tell anybody where you are.
What made you
want to be a cop?
My dad was one.
How about you?
Come from a long line
of e. R. Doctors?
Dad’s an actuary.
Mom teaches third grade.
So how’d you
get into medicine?
In junior high,
We went on a field trip to
this wildlife preserve,
And this bear, he broke free
and went at our teacher,
Basically disemboweled him
with one swipe of his claw.
My god.
The bear ran off,
and I held my teacher,
And I thought, "never again.
Never again."
Are you serious?
No.
My grandfather was a doctor.
I got it from him.
I knew you were joking.
I didn’t buy it for a second.
Yeah, right.
I’m glad you made it out.
I am, too.
Our schedules haven’t
made it easy.
Yeah, well, that’s
a good news/bad news thing.
Bad news being...
I don’t have
a lot of free time,
But the free time I do have,
I tend to make the most of it.
I find you very interesting.
[ Pager beeps ]
Sometimes being a resident
really blows.
I need to go.
Okay. Let’s get you a cab.
I got it.
I’d like to see you again.
When?
Yesterday.
I’m busy yesterday.
How’s friday?
I don’t know my schedule.
We’ll work it out.
Even if it’s last minute?
Even better.
I tend to make the most
of my free time, too.
Mr. Sipowicz?
Tina haber, child services.
Where’s michelle?
We couldn’t bring her.
She caught a cold ‐‐
102 fever.
You are unbelievable.
Mr. Sipowicz, we really would
have appreciated a phone call.
Well, he didn’t have
time to call.
He just thought it up
in the car.
Are they in the parking lot?
No.
Do we need
to call our attorney
To force you to produce
michelle?
You can do
whatever you want.
You’re not gonna see
that kid tonight.
John, call the lawyer.
No, let them have their time.
This is the last they see her.
I wouldn’t count on that.
Why, ’cause you’re a cop?
You think you can defy
a court order?
Kid’s sick.
You’re a liar,
along with being a drunk.
I’d be real careful about
throwing stuff like that around.
I think maybe we should just
call this off for tonight.
Day after tomorrow ‐‐ that’s the
last time you see that child.
I promise you.
We’ll see.
