Previously on "nypd blue"...
Sipowicz.
I'm here for the sergeants test.
Proctors meet downstairs
in the library.
I'm here to take the test.
Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.
Take one booklet
and pass the rest back.
Don't break the seal
until I tell you to.
You have three hours
to complete the test.
You can begin.
I just wanted you to know
that we've made an arrest,
And it looks like
we're gonna be able
To recover most of the money.
Oh, my god!
That's wonderful!
I should be going.
I wanted to give you the news.
Are you sure?
I'll be done in a few minutes.
I'll be in the way.
Greg, I know how hard
you worked today.
The least I can do
is buy you a drink.
I guess
I could stick around.
Where are my guys at?
Up on the roof.
Who called it in?
This guy coming to work.
The area's pretty deserted
at night.
I wouldn't count
on there being witnesses.
The guy's watch is gone.
Looks like he wore two rings.
Both of them are gone.
Whatever cash he had is gone.
The wallet's still here
with the credit cards.
The guy's name
is kerry oaks.
The uniform cop
said the car was locked,
So whoever did it
was inside the car.
He was an attorney.
The name of the firm's
robinson and cerny.
The office is located
on madison avenue.
What's in the case?
Looks like a bunch
of legal papers.
What, you lose a bet?
What do you mean?
Who dressed you?
What?
Your shirt's
a little bright, greg.
It's english.
No good?
Do we have
the time of death?
We're waiting on the m.e.
Building security
at oaks' work
Has him sign out
around 11:00.
We made a call to the senior
partner of the firm.
What about ballistics?
He was sh*t with
a small‐caliber g*n.
Entry wound
around the rib cage.
No doubt about it
being a robbery?
They took his watch,
his rings, his cash.
There's been
at least three robberies
In the same general area
over the past four months.
All of the victims
were white males ‐‐
40, 50 Years old ‐‐
and a g*n was used.
We need more than that
to make it a pattern.
We were only able to contact
one of the victims.
He's on his way in.
You reading "the chief"?
Uh, yeah.
Connie's cousin is looking
for something with sanitation.
And you're not looking
for the results
Of the sergeants test,
in other words?
I think
it's early for that.
They're not in there?
No.
It'll be two weeks at least.
Right.
Thanks, guys.
We should hit whatever
late‐night establishments
Are in the area,
see if our d. O. A.
Was in any of them last night.
Greg...
You want a different tie
at least?
What is this intense interest
in my wardrobe?
It is something
of a statement, medavoy.
It's not a statement.
It's a shirt and a tie.
I think
they're very nice, greg.
Thank you.
Me too.
I love the whole look.
There you go.
Got a report of a sh**ting
In a school yard
on houston and christy.
Ortiz,
you and murphy respond.
Tell me the truth.
Do I look stupid?
I don't know
about "stupid."
I got a lunch
with bridget today.
You look great.
Are you just saying that
'cause you want
To get out of helping me
find something else?
Come on, greg.
We got work to do.
If we pass a clothing store,
we're going in.
What do we got?
A car pulled up.
A guy in a ski mask threw up
a bunch of sh*ts, drove off.
Anybody get a description
of the car?
One person said
it was a green chevy.
One person said
it was a blue ford.
I got somebody else
saying it was a brown van.
Anybody get
a license plate?
No.
Any talk
it's g*ng‐related?
From what they're saying,
it was a basketball tournament.
No gangs, no nothing.
They played on this court?
Right there.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Hey, guys.
Anybody see anything?
There was a guy sh**ting
out of a car at my boy here.
Any idea
what it was about?
You fighting
with somebody?
Nah.
Just a pickup game?
Today was.
The tournament
starts next week.
What kind of tournament?
The dayton league
tournament.
Is there
some kind of organizer?
Marcus dayton.
Where can we find
marcus dayton?
I don't know.
Anybody?
Yeah, I got his number.
You're the only one
who would.
Why is that?
Show them
the article, kevin.
No, man,
don't show them that.
Show it to them, man.
"The next lebron."
A lot of people
come to see you, ty?
They come to see the game.
I don't know
if they come to see me.
People from around here
come to see the game.
People from all over
come to see him.
Yo, when we
get the court back?
As soon as crime scene's done
processing for ballistics.
And how long
that's gonna take?
A while.
Is that it?
After we get your
names and addresses.
All you guys.
Uh, detectives...
Where this homicide last night
and these robberies happened,
There's a couple of bars
I don't know if you know about.
Yeah, what about them?
They're respectable
from the outside,
But basically,
they're hooker bars.
Penis hookers
or vag*na hookers?
Penis.
The kind of places you go
to meet someone, but quietly.
Can I help you?
I'm russell fein.
I'm here to see either
Detective sipowicz
or detective clark.
Yeah. That's us.
Right this way.
This is over two months ago
I was robbed.
We had an incident last night
we think might be related.
Have a seat, doctor.
I can't provide you
with any more detail
Than I did at the time.
You said that the assailant
was either white or hispanic,
In his 20s or 30s,
medium build, medium height,
And you weren't sure
what color his hair was.
I had a concussion.
Where were you coming from?
Nowhere.
I was out walking.
Now, you live
at 975 west 71st street.
Is that between broadway
and columbus?
Columbus
and central park west.
And you were robbed
around greenwich and warren?
I didn't realize I needed
special dispensation
To leave
the upper west side.
Doctor, we're looking
into whether or not
There's a pattern
of robberies here.
It might help if we knew
Where the robbery victims
had been previously.
And what I'm telling you
Is where I had been
was out walking.
I do what a lot
of new yorkers do ‐‐
I look at buildings,
I look at people, I walk.
You weren't entirely
cooperative at the time.
I couldn't identify the guy.
I didn't see the point.
Wouldn't ride in a radio car,
wouldn't look at the mug sh*ts.
Are you chastising me,
detective?
I'm trying
to understand why.
It was a traumatic episode,
but I survived it.
I lost an inexpensive watch,
about $80 in cash.
Whatever credit cards
had been taken
Were immediately canceled.
I saw no point
in prolonging the aftermath.
The only point would be if it
led to apprehending the guy.
I didn't see that as even
a remote possibility then.
Now it's two months later,
and I have no idea why I'm here.
We think the same guy
that robbed you
Robbed somebody else
last night.
This time,
he also m*rder*d him.
If I could be of any assistance,
I would be.
This guy k*lled once.
There's a good chance
he'll k*ll again.
If something occurs to me,
I'll let you know.
What can you tell us
about kerry oaks, mr. Cerny?
He cared about his kids.
He cared about people.
Perfect lawyer.
Married? Divorced?
Divorced.
His wife
moved with the kids
To california
several years ago.
He'd go out there any number
of times during the year.
Any time we had business
in los angeles,
If at all possible,
he would be the one to go.
Any idea
where he was coming from
Or what he was doing
in the part of town
where he was found?
I assume he went
to dinner down there.
There aren't really
any restaurants nearby,
But there are a few gay bars
down there.
Well, what does it matter?
If we knew where he was,
It might help us
to find out who k*lled him.
I don't know where he was.
Was there anything
out of the ordinary
That you observed
working with him?
Like what?
Was he a heavy drinker?
Did he use dr*gs?
Did he frequent prostitutes?
I don't get you guys.
This man
was an upstanding citizen
Who was robbed and m*rder*d.
Are you looking
for some reason
To believe that
he brought it on himself?
Sir, what we're trying to do
is get a sense of who he was
In the hopes of reconstructing
what took place last night.
You work with someone
for all these years,
You learn to respect that
there are parts of their life
That they want
to remain private.
If you're asking me
was kerry conflicted
About his sexuality,
I don't know.
If you had to make a guess.
There was a time I might have
wondered about it,
But I've long since
stopped concerning myself.
He was a wonderful guy.
You ought to find out
who did this to him.
Thanks for your time,
mr. Cerny.
This is marcus dayton.
Thanks for coming in,
mr. Dayton.
Somebody sh**t up
my tournament,
I drop what I'm doing.
Why don't we go back here?
Hey, rita, this guy's
a known gambler from way back.
Big?
He was on his way.
Then he took
a collar for bookmaking,
Took another one
for policy.
Haven't seen him around
in a while.
Thanks.
Has there been
any recent v*olence
Connected
with the tournament?
None.
Nothing that might involve
one of the players?
These are young boys
wanting to play basketball
And being given
the opportunity to do so
In an organized fashion.
That's why
it's such a shame.
Murphy:
how about gangs?
Any chance this is
some kind of a turf w*r?
This ain't got nothing to do
with no gangs.
Does it have something
to do with gambling?
You know
who holcomb rucker is?
No.
Worked for
the parks department.
Started a basketball tournament
in harlem
With his own money,
so young boys up there
Would have something to do aside
from dr*gs and criminality.
No one's criticizing you
For organizing
a basketball tournament.
The rucker tournament
is world‐famous today.
All the greatest stars
from the nba, come summertime,
They make it
up to 155th street
To play against
the jackie jacksons,
The earl manigaults.
Holcomb rucker started it.
I'm looking to do the same thing
in my time he did in his.
And no ex‐ballplayer
crying about his lot in life
With a g*n is gonna stop me.
Who are we talking about?
I think I'm gonna leave that one
alone for right now.
You're telling us
there's someone you suspect,
But you're not gonna
give us his name?
I got no hard proof,
you understand.
Give us a name, mr. Dayton.
Ty newell ‐‐ 16 years old.
Could be
the next sebastian telfair.
He's got an older brother ‐‐
stanley.
He don't want to see ty
get nothing he didn't have.
If I was you, he'd be
the first place I'd look.
See, I think
these spread collars
Tend to make me
look squat.
Come on, greg.
We don't have a lot of time.
And then there's the whole issue
with stripes.
I thought
that the vertical stripes
Were supposed to make you
look taller and thinner.
I don't know.
I never really thought about it.
Look, I don't want
to go to this lunch
Thinking I look
like a clown, okay?
Okay.
So what kind of a shirt
am I best off going with?
I'd say solid blue or white.
Good.
Let's say blue.
Yeah.
Now, what about the tie?
Well, you got a gray suit.
Go with a nice blue tie.
Oh, good.
Nice blue tie.
Good.
This one?
Yeah, sure. That's good.
You didn't
think about it long enough.
[ Sighs ]
this one.
Good.
Thank you.
[ Sighs ]
A pocket square!
You ever go
to the school yard
Over on houston
and christy, stanley?
Yeah.
When was the last time?
Two weeks, a month.
Where were you
around 10:00 this morning?
10:00.
I was making deliveries.
You know anyone who has
a problem with your brother?
No.
Anyone have a problem
with the basketball tournament?
I work two jobs, I have a wife,
and I have a child.
I don't know anything about
any basketball tournaments.
There was a sh**ting at the
basketball court this morning.
Oh, yeah?
You don't know anything
about that?
No, I don't.
What's your relationship
with your brother?
It's good.
You don't resent his having
this bright future ahead of him?
Why would I resent it?
You were a pretty good
ballplayer yourself at one time.
Not like ty.
Wound up doing a 8 1/2‐year bit
in green haven.
Yeah.
I made some stupid mistakes.
What's your relationship
with marcus dayton?
I don't have no relationship
with marcus dayton.
Your brother does, though.
That's right.
My brother does.
That cause any problems?
We'll see.
What's that mean?
It means marcus dayton
is out for marcus dayton.
He gets his hooks
in my brother,
I don't know
where that goes.
The sh**ting have anything
to do with marcus?
All I know is it had
nothing to do with me.
Hey.
The slugs from the school yard
are from a .357 magnum.
They match ones recovered
three years ago at a robbery.
They make an arrest?
Yeah, but the g*n
was never recovered.
Who's the collar?
His name's lucas benchley.
His last known address
is 1440 grand concourse.
Thanks, baldwin.
You got it.
Mmm.
The food here is good.
The food is good.
I guess
you know restaurants.
I know a few.
Yeah,
your line of work ‐‐
Wining and dining clients
is a big part of it.
Most of what I do with clients
is show them apartments.
If they like them, they buy it.
If they don't, they don't.
I have to believe you're
a big part of that, though.
The way you look,
the way you dress.
Speaking personally,
I would put a lot of faith
In what you have to say
about things.
Most people
shopping for a home,
Looking to spend the kind
of money these places cost,
Like to at least think
They know
what they're looking for.
Hmm.
[ Sighs ]
At some point,
I may be in the market myself.
Really?
Long island was good
for raising kids,
But at this point, I think
I'd prefer being in town.
Have you thought
about what section?
I don't know.
Battery park city's
on the river, so that's nice.
I also like
the area around lower 5th.
There's some beautiful buildings
on lower 5th.
Yeah.
If you find
something interesting,
Maybe you could
show it to me.
I'd be happy to.
I'm sorry, sir.
Your card's been declined.
Put it through again.
I put it through
several times.
Is there another card
you'd like to use?
Actually, it's the only one
I brought with me.
Why don't I put this
on my card?
Thank you.
Someone at my bank
is gonna hear about this!
It happens all the time.
[ Sighs ]
oh, sorry. Sorry.
How's the outside world
treating you, lucas?
Real good.
You staying out of
the armed‐robbery business?
Something happen you're looking
to make me attributable to?
Asking the question.
The business back then
Was youthfulness
and foolishness.
I got a whole different program
going on today.
What program's that?
I got a hip‐hop
deejay business.
Provide entertainment
for private parties,
corporate functions.
Where were you
this morning?
This morning, I met with
mr. And mrs. Alan bernbaum
And their daughter mindy
About making plans
for her bath mitzvah.
What time was that?
I was at their apartment
on east 72nd street
At 9:30 on the dot,
And I stayed there
about an hour and a half.
Been down to the school yard
on houston and christy recently?
I don't even know
where that is.
Somebody sh*t it up
this morning.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You think that somebody was me?
Slugs came back
matching the slugs
From when
you took down that bodega.
Since we never
recovered the g*n,
We have to assume
you still have it.
What did you do with it?
I sold it.
The g*n, my dr*gs.
Anything that was a part
of my thug life ‐‐
My sl*ve life ‐‐
I expelled it from my being.
When did you do that?
As soon as
I got out of prison.
Who'd you sell the g*n to?
It's not gonna get back
to nobody, is it?
We'll do our best.
It was a guy named peewee.
Who's that?
A mongrel dude.
What's his real name?
Benny jenkins.
Last I heard, he was over
by monthaven projects.
You gonna
take me down for this?
Not if your story checks out.
Until we know that,
you're gonna have to stay here.
Sorry. I'm sorry.
[ Scoffs ]
Another bath mitzvah.
Damn.
We're running down the g*n line.
Some guy in the bronx.
All right.
Yeah, crime scene got a hit
on a print off the car.
It comes back to a guy
named kyle tanner ‐‐
Did 18 months for a robbery
when he was 19 years old.
Address?
Yeah,
on east 25th street.
Let's go.
[ Barking ]
Hey, I'm moving it.
Stay where you are.
Let me see your hands.
Step out of the truck.
Man, what I do?
Keep your hands up.
You got
any g*ns in there?
No, I ain't got no g*ns.
We search this truck,
we're not gonna find any?
Man, I ain't give you
no probable cause
To be searching
the back of this truck.
You got a bill of sale
for that sheet metal?
Why you want to torment me
like this?
Where were you this morning,
peewee?
I walked my dog.
Then I went to see my mother
at the nursing home.
Played a game of dominoes
at the nursing home.
I came over here
to meet a guy
Who want to buy
some of this here scrap.
What guy?
A guy from barbados.
Probably got scared off
seeing the two of y'all.
Here's the thing, peewee.
We got information you bought
a g*n that was used in a crime.
If you didn't do the crime,
Maybe you sold that g*n
to someone who did.
Either you tell us
who that was,
Or we're gonna
place you under arrest,
Impound your truck, and have
animal control take your dog.
[ Sighs ]
A kid came by,
saying he wants to buy a g*n.
Saying somebody
I know sent him.
Who's the kid?
The kid's named tyler.
Who sent him?
I got to
give that up, too?
That's right.
Marcus dayton.
If he finds out
I give him up,
This truck better
make it to south america.
Where were you
last night, kyle?
I rented a movie.
What did you see?
It was "13 going on 30."
More or less a chick flick,
But I have a thing
for jennifer garner.
Anybody with you?
No, sir.
Never in the vicinity
of greenwich,
South of chambers?
Not at all.
The reason we ask
is that your prints
Turned up on a car
in that area.
Well, I don't know
how that would be.
Maybe you were just walking by,
lost your balance,
Put your hand on the car
so you wouldn't fall.
Only I wasn't walking by.
You used to like stealing
from kids, right?
I was a coward.
Kids were the only ones
I wasn't afraid of.
How about now?
I'm still a coward.
How you been supporting
yourself?
Full‐time student.
I was thinking I might like
to go into finance.
Mind if we take a look
around your apartment?
Why do you want
to do that?
To rule you out
in this car thing.
What kind of a car thing
are we talking about?
A guy was robbed.
I don't know
what to tell you.
I don't do
that kind of thing.
You got a g*n you
don't want us to find?
No.
So what are you
so afraid of?
What happens
if one of my friends
Had a buprenorphine
drop out of his pocket?
You find it behind
one of the couch cushions.
What then?
I get busted?
We're looking for a g*n.
That's it.
Anything else,
it's our little secret.
What happens if I say no?
Then I pick up the phone.
I have someone
in the d. A.'S office
Get a judge
to issue a warrant.
If we have to go that route,
any inadvertent substances
We find have to
go in the report,
And you take your chances.
If you want to look
through my apartment,
Look through my apartment.
I got nothing to hide.
Tanner: what's that
you're looking for?
We told you ‐‐ a g*n.
You're not gonna
find that.
Well, alternatively,
proceeds from a robbery.
What kind of proceeds?
We hit pay dirt,
we'll let you know.
Just for the sake
of argument,
Let's say
you found something.
You don't have a warrant.
Don't need a warrant.
You consented to the search.
I did?
I don't remember doing that.
You signed a piece of paper.
What's to stop me
from saying I was under duress?
The testimony
of two police officers.
So it really just comes down
to an issue of credibility.
Right.
Are you hungry?
What, you're searching
my food now?
You do a lot of cooking?
As a matter of fact, I do,
And I don't like people
handling my food.
Would you just not touch that
with your hands, please?
[ Rattles ]
[ Rattles ]
[ Clears throat ]
Are these credit cards
For when you don't
feel like cooking?
I found those on the street.
This building
gets a lot of break‐ins.
I was just keeping them
out of sight
Until I had a chance
to turn them in.
Stand up.
Let's go!
Turn around.
Believe me or don't believe me,
that's why they're there.
Who did you
give the g*n to, ty?
I don't have no g*n.
You had one, though.
Nope.
You have a lot to lose.
From what we understand,
you have a bright future.
If you bought an illegal g*n
and put it in the hands
Of somebody
who did something stupid,
You need to tell us
the truth about it.
Did you buy a g*n, tyler?
[ Sighs ]
yeah.
What kind of g*n was it?
A .357 magnum.
Where's that g*n now?
Hid away in my room.
Who else
lives there with you, ty?
Just my grandma.
What do you
need a g*n for?
Just to have one.
Just to have one for what?
Everybody else had one.
I just wanted to have one, too.
Somebody used that g*n
To sh**t up the school yard
this morning.
Unless you can give us
a good explanation
For how that happened,
We have no choice
but to lock you up.
It had to be
my brother, stanley.
Why do you say that?
My grandma found it
and give it to him.
How do you know that?
He told me.
Started in
how I'm messing up,
How he all disappointed
and concerned.
Got hisself locked up
when I needed him.
Gets out,
he still ain't around.
When he told you he had the g*n,
what did you say?
I said,
"give it back, son.
That sucker
don't belong to you."
He got mad at me then.
Grabbed me, smacked me,
Yelling at me like
he was my father.
Only he knew
he wasn't getting to me.
He knew it didn't mean nothing
to me what he thought.
Is this why he came by today ‐‐
trying to k*ll me?
He belong in prison.
[ Sighs ]
What I want to know is
why my credit card was refused.
Yes, there was activity
on it this morning.
Yes, there were purchases made
at portofino men's clothier.
Listen to me.
I pay my bills on time.
I expect that card to be honored
when I use it.
If it's not, I will be forced
to go with the competition.
Do I have
your personal assurance of that?
Thank you very much.
I appreciate your help.
Can I talk
to the detectives, please?
We'll be
right with you, doctor.
This guy tanner
looks good.
What do you have?
A print on the car,
and we found this stack
Of credit cards
in his apartment.
The dentist we talked
to on the chance it was
a pattern came back in.
Swore he couldn't make
a positive i. D. Before.
See what he says now.
Let me know.
I have
a good dental practice.
I have elderly parents.
I have a wife
and two kids.
I'm not ready
for certain facts
About my life
to become known.
We try very hard not to betray
confidences, doctor.
Sometimes you have
no choice, though.
We have a predator here.
There are a great many predators
in the world.
This one
just k*lled somebody.
Yes, detective, I know that.
It's why I'm here.
It's why I've come back,
even though more than anything,
I would like not
to be involved with any of this.
What can you tell us
about the guy who robbed you?
He was young.
He was attractive.
I met him at a bar
named randolph's,
Where people like me go.
What happened
after you met him?
We talked, we flirted.
After a while, he asked
If there was somewhere
we could go.
I had my car parked nearby,
so we went there.
I remember after he got in,
I looked at him,
With the streetlight
coming through the windshield.
He smiled...
Then he took out a g*n
and b*at me until I passed out.
Could you identify him
if you saw him again?
Yes.
Would you be willing
to pick him out of a lineup?
Yes.
Would I have to testify
in court?
If we get him to confess,
Chances are
we won't need you to.
Obviously, I'd be grateful
if I didn't have to.
But I'll do whatever
you need me to do.
See anyone you recognize,
dr. Fein?
[ Sighs ]
I recognize number 3.
Where do you
recognize him from?
I recognize him
as the person that b*at me
And robbed me
on october 2, 2004.
Where did that take place?
In my car, which was parked
Down the block
from randolph's tavern.
Well, you got two choices,
stanley.
Either admit
it was you with the g*n,
Or we lean
on your grandmother
Till she admits
giving it to you.
Stanley: how much leaning
did you do on my brother?
Not much I bet.
Some people get a little pissy
when you try to k*ll them.
You recover six b*ll*ts
altogether?
Why?
Those b*ll*ts went
exactly where I aimed them.
If I wanted to k*ll him,
he'd be dead.
Then what was the point?
What's the difference?
It's ain't gonna make no sense
to you what I say, anyway.
Try us.
[ Sighs ]
I couldn't stand
to see him do what I did.
You went to prison
for selling dr*gs.
I didn't get there
all at once.
When I was 16, I was the star
2‐guard for my high school.
I had all kind of people
wanting to know me ‐‐
Coaches coming from duke,
North carolina, marquette,
syracuse, kentucky.
I could have played
for any of them.
Why didn't you?
'Cause I went
for the short‐end money instead.
I fell for the empty promises,
the quick trim
That whatever big sh*t
it was back then offered me.
Same as my brother
working for marcus dayton,
Shaving points
or throwing games.
I was working for him
until he didn't need me no more.
And by then it was too late
to go to college.
I wasn't near able
to turn professional.
Where's the g*n now?
You never see it coming.
You're 16.
You got a quicker first step
than anybody on the court.
Ain't nothing
gonna ever go wrong.
And I needed him
to know that it does.
If you ain't careful,
it goes way wrong.
Where's the g*n, stanley?
I threw it in the river.
[ Door opens ]
We just talked
to your brother, ty.
It might be good if you
hear what he has to say.
How come
he ain't locked up?
That's what you want?
Yeah, that's what I want!
We think your brother
was just trying
To scare you this morning.
You allowed to scare somebody
by sh**ting a g*n at them?
No.
Then lock him up.
He had reason
to be concerned.
Yeah, 'cause I'm gonna
wind up with an nba contract,
Have my name in the newspapers,
And he's gonna be driving
that nasty, old car
With blankets on the seats.
That's why he be concerned.
You think I don't want
to see good things for you?
That's right.
The one thing that kept me
From messing up
in prison was you.
Yeah, sure.
It's true.
I had people keeping an eye
on you you never knew about.
I heard all about
what you was doing.
Yeah, and that makes up
for everything?
I'm not saying that.
Help out grandma
with a few dollars.
You don't need to see me
but once in a while.
I got family
to take care of, ty.
I thought
I was your family.
You are.
You've been marked absent
my whole life!
And come around now
talking to me about my friends,
How I conduct myself?!
You ain't earned the right.
Maybe not.
But there ain't
nothing behind it, bro.
Ain't nothing but words.
What's this?
It's an account I started.
"Stanley newell,
i. G. F., Tyler newell."
It's a trust fund.
There's $19,000 in here.
I started it
when I got out of prison.
It's for you
to go to college with.
If you want it now,
you can have it.
Where'd you get $19,000?
I drive an old, nasty car
with blankets on the seats.
What'd you do this for?
'Cause I wasn't around
when I should have been.
[ Inhales, exhales sharply ]
Ty, I'm your big brother...
And I love you.
If you don't know nothing else,
you got to know that.
You don't seem too concerned
About what happened
with the lineup.
You're right.
Why is that?
It's one thing
to be in a police station
And say who you think
did something to you,
And it's another thing
to do it in open court.
What are you doing?
Give us a little privacy.
You're counting on your victims
not testifying.
I don't have any victims.
You work bars where guys went
who were in the closet ‐‐ deep.
Men with families and jobs
And lives that they didn't
want disrupted.
They were willing to walk away
from being robbed
And beaten
and not pursue it,
Rather than have it come out
what they were doing.
How come you know so much
about fags, detective?
Uhh! Hey!
Tell us about
those robberies, kyle.
Tell us
about the robberies.
Tell us about
what happened last night.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
Don't say it.
Don't you say it!
Because every time you say
something that's not true,
You're gonna get hit.
Think about what you're gonna
say before you say it.
I didn't rob anybody.
Uhh!
Stop hitting me!
Stop?
I just got started.
You're not allowed
to do that!
Who's gonna know?
He can do it
without leaving a mark.
It's amazing.
You want me to tell you
I robbed somebody?
I want you
to tell me the truth!
The truth ‐‐
think about it now.
Okay,
I robbed a couple of guys.
What happened last night?
Nothing.
Uhh!
Before you force somebody
that you robbed
To go on the witness stand,
I will send you straight from
here to the emergency room.
Do you understand me?!
Please don't let him
hit me!
The only thing on this earth
that's gonna stop him
From hitting you
is you telling the truth.
He went nuts!
This was
when you were robbing him?
He started yelling at me.
He didn't care.
It didn't matter anymore,
That he already
lost his wife and kids.
It didn't matter.
Whatever happened, happened.
But he wasn't gonna take it
like some sad, old queen.
So you sh*t him?
I didn't have a choice.
He was bigger than me.
Say you sh*t him,
kyle, say it.
I sh*t him!
It was his own damn fault.
Now write it down.
Got one for the robberies
and the homicide.
He's finishing up
the statement now.
Good work.
This turned up
in his apartment.
Guy like this,
there's a good chance
That he was dealing
in stolen credit cards
From who knows
how many sources.
Detective ortiz.
Ortiz:
thanks for coming by.
We're hoping you can
let it go with stanley.
[ Sighs ]
My boss gets a little funny
About f*ring g*ns
in playgrounds.
Not that he showed the best
judgment in the world,
But I think he was careful
to see no one got hurt,
And I think he did it
out of desperation.
What do you think,
lieutenant?
What are we talking about?
Letting it go
with stanley newell.
It's reckless endangerment,
But with his priors,
it could be bad.
What's the situation
on the paperwork?
Are we tied to anything?
Not yet.
Well, why don't you guys
work it out?
We'll get you
what you need.
Excuse me.
Hi.
You're kidding, right?
[ Sighs ]
that's just great.
Did you at least try
and get out of it?
Okay.
I understand.
[ Sighs ]
Hey.
Good job
on that homicide.
Thanks.
[ Sighs ] oh, boy.
Don't ever date anyone
Who works for
the state department.
I'm supposed to be going
to this dinner tonight
Honoring judge lasak,
And my date just got
called back to washington.
This a command performance?
Most definitely.
I used to clerk for him.
If the judge
sees me there unescorted,
I just know he's gonna
have his mitts all over me.
They don't call him
"learned hand" for nothing.
If you got nobody else,
I do come with a clean shirt
and tie.
I can't ask you to do that.
I volunteered.
Well, if you're serious,
I think I'm gonna
take you up on it.
What time?
Could you pick me up
at 6:30?
Be my pleasure.
Andy,
something's come up.
Would you be able to knock out
the files for today?
You got a social engagement?
Hey, she asked me
to do her a favor.
Sure.
Thanks.
Now, this time of year,
you're gonna want lilies.
Why this time of year?
Because lilies are spring,
and in december
What you want
more than anything else
Is a suggestion of spring.
These madonna lilies
are absolutely gorgeous.
[ Inhales ]
They smell a little
like a funeral home.
All right.
We also have
some paper whites.
Oh, and we just got in
these bigheaded french tulips.
What about roses?
Oh, we have some sterling
silver roses, flemish roses.
Red roses.
$6 A stem.
Right, give me a dozen.
Probably want baby's breath
and greens with that?
Yeah.
And I want you
to put this $100 bill
In the envelope with a card.
And what do you want
the card to say?
From greg.
Lasak: if you'll come
out there with me this weekend,
I'm certain
you'll have a good time.
It could be
a good career move for you.
I can introduce you
to all kinds
Of very influential people
there.
Hey, will you
talk some sense into her?
I can try.
Oh, come on, judge.
[ Chuckles ]
There's a weekend retreat
at the mohawk mountain house
For training prosecutors
and judges
In handling terrorism cases.
I think she should attend.
Remember valentine's day?
Yeah, it was great.
This past year, valentine's day
fell on a saturday.
We went up there,
had a great weekend.
Oh, I didn't realize
you were seeing anyone.
Well, we're keeping it quiet
As much as possible
'cause of work.
Oh, yeah,
I understand completely.
Excuse me,
they're waiting
For you on the dais,
your honor.
Oh, okay.
Nice meeting you,
detective.
Great to meet you, judge.
[ Chuckles ]
How did you happen to know
That valentine's day
fell on a saturday?
I have a head
for odd details like that.
It wouldn't be because you had
a memorable one this year?
No, not at all.
Well, thanks for coming up
with it.
You're very welcome.
Shall we?
Bale: detective?
Have you told anyone?
There's nothing to tell.
That's not quite true.
You know
something about me.
I want to know what you intend
to do with that knowledge.
I found your credit card.
I returned it to you.
I don't know anything
more than that.
I appreciate it, detective.
Good night, boss.
[ Engine turns over ]
