[New York Undercover opening theme]

[active music]

What did I tell you about your things?

I can't keep taking you back to your mother's house every time

you forget something.

So was on my case for everything.

That's another thing.

You and I are going to have a talk about your mouth.

Find your book and move on.

I don't know.

Maybe I left it in Mom's room.

Is this what you're looking for?

I don't think it's in there, man.

G, close the door.

Close the door.

Here.

Here.

Guys, blowing up my page is not going to get me here

any sooner. Whatever it takes, well.

Philip Atwell, a big-term boxing promoter, got his skull

-laid open late last night. -Damn.

Well, like they said, what goes around comes around, right?

He was always stealing from his fighters.

He was last seen alive at a press conference for

the former heavyweight champion, Kevin Gray.

Press conference for what?

Homeboy's coming out of retirement, kid.

Word?

Oh, I know you buying me them tickets.

You owe me. Hey, man.

-You owe me. -Maybe not.

According to some members of the press, Gray and Atwell

-had a major blowup. -About what?

Nobody knows.

His assistant didn't show up for work this morning.

A Shirley Benton.

CSU said her computer was on all last night.

Last entry was around 11:15.

Or maybe she got spooked, left in a hurry.

Well, then why don't you go check the little spooked lady,

and we'll check the champ. Okay.

Have any objection to that, Detective Moreno?

No, Lou. Somebody has to be the grown-up.

You remember that fight at the garden?

Louis versus Greg.

Great knocked that boy out on the top of the third.

Oh, yeah.

You know I had alongside seats, right?

I was right there seeing the sweat just

drip off his face, man.

I'll tell you, the heavyweight division is a bunch of senior

citizens right about now.

But I meant Greg could take the exit.

And you know this, they need some new blood.

-You know what I'm saying? -Oh, please.

It's not even a real sport.

What you're talking about, might take skill

and precision to be bobbing it.

Don't waste your time.

She's not going to understand that.

She's a woman, man.

Don't even try it, Eddie, because I know I can take you.

Mama, I got mad skills.

There's no way you could take me.

Oh, see?

It wasn't me who fell asleep last night

-because you couldn't hang. -Oh, see?

You're just talking trash because you want a rematch.

-Now, I understand. -Let's go.

-Only if you can keep up. -I am going to make you bad.

You're going to regret you said that, baby.

Stay intense, guys.

Knock them down. Knock them down.

Okay.

Steady on it.

Jack, pick it out.

Pick it out.

Come on, get on.

See, now, that's what the hell you get?

Now, focus.

That's it. Nice.

Where do you think you're going?

We got work to do.

Give me five minutes.

I'm in a jam.

That b*stard's been stealing from me for years.

You don't confess to me or anyone else.

You think the cops won't figure this out?

We had a public beef.

Inconclusive, unless you lose your head.

What if somebody saw me?

-Like who? -That woman in Phil's office.

She called me, once though.

-How much? -Half mil, in bonds.

-So we'll pay it. -Why?

It won't stop there, and you know it.

Let me worry about her.

I'll take care of it.

And what do you want besides your fee?

Who's your new manager, Kevin?

I guess you are.

[intriguing music]

What's up, man?

You ain't said a word in 10 minutes.

-Something on your mind? -No.

I know Chantal is going to show up, and I ain't trying to hear.

Why is that?

What did you do this time?

Look, G leaves his book over at the crib, right?

So we go over there.

He opens the door, we go inside,

and they're doing it, man.

-They as in? -I don't know.

Her boyfriend, somebody.

All I know, they have a stitch of clothing on.

Of course, now, G don't want to talk about it.

Well, he sees his mom like that.

That's his therapy right there.

I tell you this, though.

-Chantal been keeping it tight. -Oh, come on now.

She's looking...

Come on, where's that attach it?

Stop it out.

All right, that's it. That's it.

Keep it off.

Excuse me, champ?

My name is Detective Williams.

This is my partner, Detective Torres.

It's Kevin.

-This is about Phil? -Yeah.

We need to know when was the last time you saw him.

Media circus announcing my comeback.

We heard you had a beef.

You mind telling us what that was about?

Usual. We fought about everything.

So I guess you fought about money.

Never.

The word on the street was he was a crook.

All true.

He never stole from me.

So do you mind telling us where you were last night?

You think I did this?

Everybody hated the guy, including me.

But if I wanted to hurt him, all I had to do was take

my business elsewhere.

You still haven't answered the question.

I have 5 pounds to shed.

-I worked out, at home. -Anybody with you?

My wife.

We done here?

Yeah, I guess so.

Hey, you guys want tickets?

See my trainer.

He hook you up.

Do you believe him?

Not a word.

Me neither.

Damn.

[knocking on the door]

Ms. Benton, Detective Moreno, fourth Squad.

What's this about?

Your boss was k*lled last night.

Poor man.

How did it happen?

I was hoping you could tell me.

How should I know?

Your last computer entry fits the time of death.

I said good night to Mr. Atwell around midnight.

He said I could come in late.

Did you see anyone when you left?

You're awfully jumpy. What are you afraid of?

Nothing.

I do not get news like this every day.

You saw who did this. You need to tell me.

I am sorry. I cannot help you, Detective.

[intriguing music]

If you think of anything, give me a call.

Come on, Say.

BJ, go after the puck.

Get up.

Get your feet in.

Get in there.

Come on, that's right.

Come on.

Keep it up. Keep it up.

Good, good.

Keep it up.

Hey, man.

-How you doing, man? -How you doing?

I'm all right.

Listen, I got that info you asked for on Woodbridge.

Since I lost my job, it's a pipe dream even if Ryan

-gets a scholarship now. -Hey, man.

Some favor I did, right?

You got fired.

Hey, you went the bat for me, man, with my parole officer.

I should have told the job I was an ex-con.

Something's going to break soon.

I feel it.

I sure hope so.

I really want this for him, you know?

Get him some options. He's doing good.

Look at him. Hey, keep it up, Brian.

Way to go.

He deserves better, J.C.

You're doing your best, man.

I think he knows that.

Yeah, but that's not what he'll remember.

He'll think about me being locked up.

His mother leaving him alone to score drugs.

Disappearing nights on air.

Where is she now? Dead.

Suicide last year.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Brian was the one who found her.

All right, that's enough.

Bring it in.

-Got to take you out next week. -All right, bro.

-See you later. -All right.

All right.

-See you later, Coach. -All right, Brian.

how about some skates next week?

Thank you very much.

No. He scared.

Good work, G.

How are you feeling, bro?

You know we're going to

-have to talk about it sometime. -Why?

Well, because you saw what you saw.

That's why.

Yeah, well, I'll just want to forget about it.

Look, it's normal.

A man and a woman-

Hey, can we please start to get some pizza?

Whenever you're ready.

Hey, come back and pack your bag, man.

Here.

[melancholic music]

I do not give a damn

about your problems.

They were supposed to be here an hour ago.

Do not play me for a fool.

[suspenseful music]

[knocking on the door]

Where is my money?

-Well? -Jackie.

What you do that for?

What you do that for?

Shirley Benton's throat

was cut last night.

I should have dragged her in here.

Based on what?

Suspicion of lying?

There's no forced entry, but CSU found a set

of prints on the door knob. I told them to rush it.

What about the cell phone?

A record showed two calls to a number belonging to Kevin Gray.

Well, if she saw Kevin off, then why not just turn him in?

Well, two calls.

My guess is she was looking for a payday.

Let's bring them in. Sweat them.

Let's do it.

Just keep a cool head. All right.

Where have you been, Andre?

Make witnesses forget or disappear.

But m*rder was not part of the deal, Lamada.

That's not possible.

You were there, and so you're in it up to here.

Ivan k*lled that woman and didn't even blink.

Why are you trying to put me in it?

Because now you're trapped.

-You're completely dependent. -No, no, no, no, no, sir.

The way I see it you got the champ in your pocket.

But I got his freedom in mine.

What are you going to do? Call the police?

Even if they believe you,

you'll be incriminating yourself, and Ivan,

and I don't think he likes that.

Not the cops, the Boxing Commission.

They didn't get a whiff that Gray is dirty.

They'd never let him fight again.

Do be careful, Andre.

I wouldn't want you to get hurt.

Well, nobody has to.

As long as you understand that you and me, we're done.

All right. You and me, we're done.

You're satisfied?

Satisfied.

So what did you and Shirley Benton have to talk about?

I didn't k*ll her.

So what did you two have in common?

She just wanted to say goodbye.

-That's all. -So you all were friends?

Lovers.

See, I got a case of jungle fever, and I guess she

saw the movie, too, because she thought I was going

to leave my wife for her.

So you k*lled her because you didn't want her to break up

-your happy home, right? -My wife knows all about it.

It's happened before.

Oh, yeah.

We have to question his wife to make sure

it's on the up and up.

Come on, Lou. Don't tell me you buy this.

It doesn't matter if I buy it or not.

If she corroborates his story, we don't

have a leg to stand on.

I can assure you that's exactly where you are.

Did my client request his lawyer before you

started drilling him?

Isn't it a little early for you?

I thought you only slithered out at night, Mr. Dennis.

Your roots are showing, Lieutenant.

Interrogation is over right now.

And let me make this clear enough for even

you to understand.

Not only is Gray's story true, but I've got

a dozen witnesses that will swear he was training

when the victim was k*lled.

[suspenseful music]

Williams.

They looked at a pretty decent print from the crime scene.

Ex-con named Andre Morgan.

Are they positive?

Yeah, you know where he is?

Yeah, there's a couple of places I can check.

All right, why don't you go try and find him?

Put him into custody before this turns into

a full-scale manhunt.

Listen, why don't you two check at his son's school?

I'll check with his PO for the file, all right?

You think he took his son with him?

No, he wouldn't put him in a mix, but he

will get him a message. I'll be in touch.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Excuse me, Carol.

-Hi. -How are you doing?

I'm good. What are you doing here?

There was a homicide last night.

Lay on prints pointed to one of your paroles.

Who?

Andre.

Look, I'm sorry.

Somebody's dead because I listened to you.

Save your apologies for the victim's family.

Well, I'm not convinced that he did it.

What was it going to take?

The bloody knife in his hand?

Thank you.

[intriguing music]

[bell ringing]

All right, look, you check inside and see if he's around.

I'll go around back. Okay.

You come with me nice and quiet.

Unless you want me to do it in front of your kid.

-Wait. -You don't be stupid now.

Dad?

Brian, run.

Brian, run.

[g*nshots]

Brian, run.

Police. Don't move.

Well, so much for avoiding chaos.

-Who's the stiff? -Ivan Grigovitch.

Did some hard time upstate connected to Brighton Beach.

Russian mob?

Strictly muscle for hire, Lou.

Did they say it was self defense?

Only the kid could tell us that.

But we did find a straight razor on him.

Lab is checking for blood and fibers now.

We're all over the map here, people.

All right? What's the connection here?

Any ideas on where Andre Morgan might be?

But he's not going anywhere, not without his son.

I know him.

You also said he wouldn't involve him.

His son is his world, Lieutenant.

-I know what I'm talking about. -What are your ideas?

Let Brian stay with me.

Put a Mark car in front of my house, put a tracer

on my phone, whatever.

I don't know how comfortable I am with using this kid

as bait after everything he's been through.

Better than having a bunch of itchy trigger fingers,

-turning him into an orphan. -Your friend, Andre, had a g*n.

What are we supposed to do? Just let him use it again?

Are you all right with this?

Yeah.

Because no matter how you feel about Andre Morgan,

he's still wanted for two homicides.

And in my book, that makes him a criminal.

Dishes, you.

-I got to clean up, huh? -Oh, I cooked.

It was good.

Puerto Ricans who cook spaghetti on the next, Geraldo.

See, is it? Next time, you cook.

[speaking Spanish]

No, no.

Nina, I'm really glad that you're here.

Thanks.

Eddie, there's something that I need to ask you.

I want to tell you my last wishes.

Maybe I should leave.

No, no, no, no, Nina, please stay.

In case I become too sick later on.

Do we have to talk about this now, pa?

If I go into a coma, I don't want to be put on a machine.

Why are you talking about you're going to be on a machine?

You're not...

Eddie, I want you to promise me

-that you'll do it. -Do what?

You know what I'm asking?

Yeah, I know.

And you can't ask me to do that.

Eddie, I don't want to be like one of those people I see with

their bones sticking out.

I don't want somebody cleaning up my mess because

I can't go to the bathroom.

I don't want that to be the last thing that you remember me by.

You don't have to worry about that now.

Yes, I do. Look at him.

He can't even discuss it.

Pa, would you start making a scene?

Look, am I being unreasonable? Am I wrong?

No.

You have every right to expect your dying wish

to be fulfilled.

-Pa, do not bring her into this. -I asked for her opinion.

Her opinion does not count.

Okay, you are my father, not hers.

And if you want to discuss this, we can-

[speaking Spanish]

This is none of your business.

If you want to talk about this, now isn't-

It was nice to see you, Mr. Torres.

Nina, please don't go.

[melancholic music]

Please don't k*ll my dad, Mr. Williams.

Please?

Don't worry Don't worry about that.

I'm going to have to find him, okay?

I'm going to make sure he's okay.

You understand?

Now, listen, there's going to be a car outside.

I want you two to stay in here.

Is that clear, Gregory?

Yes.

Call me if you hear anything.

So what happened yesterday?

I saw my dad k*ll somebody.

Why?

I don't know.

They were fighting, and then he just shot him.

Well, I saw my dad k*ll a man, too.

Why?

Because he was trying to k*ll me.

And maybe that's why your dad did it.

You know, he told me to come to him, but I couldn't move.

Scared, huh?

I was scared of him then, but now I wish he was here.

Well, my dad will find him.

But if he finds him, he's going to k*ll him.

No, he's not. He's not like that.

Maybe not, but his partner sure is.

He tried to sh**t him yesterday at the playground.

What the hell are you going to do about this?

There's nothing I can do about it right now.

I'm stuck here on a case.

You better find this clown before the cops do or else.

Or else what?

Do you think I don't know what's at risk?

Hell no.

Because your a*s should be out there combing the streets

-instead of playing lawyer. -I can't get away.

You're just going to have to handle this on your own.

Look, don't try to play me, counselor.

If it wasn't for you and your g*ons, I wouldn't

-be in this mess right now. -Oh, really, Kevin?

Have you forgotten you're the one who k*lled somebody?

Let me tell you something, you overpriced son of a b*tch.

If I go down, you go down.

Williams, I hear we almost bagged down during the walk.

-Nina. -Now is not the time for us.

So when is the time?

You don't sound very disappointed.

To be honest with you, Lieutenant, I'd prefer he just

walked himself in here.

Oh, that could happen.

Nina, did you get up anything new?

The only thing our probes have in common is John Dennis.

What?

You mean he represented all three of them?

Andre, Gray, and Ivan.

Now Ivan's dead, and Andre's on the run.

The only one left standing is the champion.

Who k*lled the promoter and his secretary.

Which we can't prove.

His wife has him covered on that.

Well, the only link we have between our two ex-cons

to Gray is their lawyer.

So maybe he sent them over to take care of the woman.

Which would explain why Andre's prints were at the crime scene.

All right, look, Williams, I want you and Moreno to

go over and talk to this worm, John Dennis, all right?

And see if he can explain the strange coincidence.

Okay, but he'll just claim attorney-client privilege

-and tell us nothing. -Yeah, he might.

And then maybe we'll just sweat him a little bit.

What you want, man? You want another?

What? What?

He backs up.

[phone ringing]

Hold on.

Hello?

Hey, hello, G.

This is Brian's father.

Can you put him on the phone, please?

Yeah, hold on.

Brian, it's your dad?

-Dad? -Hey, champ.

How are you doing? You all right?

Yeah.

Why did you k*ll Ivan?

The guy, he was going to hurt you, son.

Do you understand?

I had no choice.

I understand.

Well, we got to go now.

We don't have much time.

I need you to slip out and meet me at home.

Can you do that?

Yes. Okay.

I won't leave without you, son.

I know.

Come on, let's go some more.

Look, I got to get out of here and meet my dad.

Are you crazy?

There are cops all over the place.

Besides, my dad will k*ll me.

Look, he's got to leave. He's going away.

-You got to help me, please. -Talk to my dad.

He'll help you.

Brian.

Don't do this.

If it was your father out there, what would you do?

Excuse me.

There's a man outside my fire scape.

I think it's the one you're looking for.

Take the back.

All right, man, you be careful.

All right.

Detectives, how may I help you?

Mr. Dennis, do all of your clients know each other?

Well, some do.

They travel in the same circles, that sort of thing.

What circle do Andre Morgan, Ivan Gregorovitch,

-and Kevin Gray fit in? -Well, they don't.

Andre and Ivan are ex-cons.

They know each other from prison.

Did you know Ivan was dead?

Yes.

I heard that Andre shot him.

Can you think why he would want to k*ll him?

I think that's something you're going to have to ask Andre.

Well, we think it might have something

to do with the straight razor we found on Ivan.

And Andre's fingerprints at Shirley Benton's apartment.

What does all this have to do with me?

All three men lead back to you, counselor.

Your client, Kevin Gray.

I wonder what hit I have to say if we bring him in for m*rder.

Have a nice day.

[suspenseful music]

Brian.

Brian, over here.

Now, go Kevin. What you do?

-k*ll your own kid? -Let him go.

Let him go. Let him go.

What the hell happened here?

Your son here sent us on a wild goose chase.

I'd say he needs some home training.

Yes, so do you.

Now, you make sure you put down your report.

You got outdone by a couple of 13-year-olds, all right?

Where's Brian, G?

With his dad, he called.

Said for Brian to meet him, so I had to help him.

No, you didn't. You were supposed to call me.

Now, we have the whole police Department looking for Andre.

If Brian is with him, he can get hurt.

What were you thinking?

That if you was out there, I'd try to find you, too.

Besides, Brian said that Eddie was trying to k*ll his dad.

I had to do something.

G, the man had a g*n.

Now, you know me better than that.

You committed a crime, Gregory.

Do you understand that?

You helped a criminal get away from the police.

Go to your room.

Now.

You know he's probably long gone, right?

Yeah, probably.

Don't be too hard on him.

-He's a good kid. -He's a cop son.

That's my responsibility.

It's time he knows what that means.

Stay still you, little b*stard before I have to hit you?

You must be out of your mind.

-This is kidnapping. -Andre had a g*n.

I had to grab the kid.

Now, he'll come nice and easy.

What are we going to do with him?

I have to get rid of him. You must be going crazy.

I'm not going to do that.

You think I'm going to let you hide behind

your respectability?

Your hands ain't dirty, and you've been calling

the shots for too long.

Listen, under the law, I'm just as guilty as you are.

Prove it, because if you want out of this mess,

when Andre shows, you got to do both of them.

[phone ringing]

-Hello? -Yeah, this is Andre.

Where's my son?

[ominous music]

Straight home after school.

I know.

Have a nice day.

Isn't there something you want to say to me?

Thought I was doing the right thing.

I know you did, but you didn't listen to me, and you didn't

trust that I'd do my job.

So therefore, you got a month in the house to think about it.

No hockey, no friends, no phone, no life.

Sort of like jail.

I know.

Doesn't mean I didn't like it.

What the hell are you doing?

How did you help yourself?

You know I can't do nothing but bring you in.

Who do you think I want to do this?

They took Brian and I can get him back by himself.

Look, Dennis and Kevin Gray.

Let the police handle this.

No, no, no, no, no.

You and me.

Get down.

Get down, man.

Hey, get the g*n, get the g*n.

Get up.

Now, where's Brian?

The cops going in there. They're going to k*ll him.

They plan to do that anyway, or did you think they were

going to let you just roll out?

J.C., you got to let me go in first.

Last time I did you a favor, you lied to me in my face.

-You said you were straight. -I was straight.

Oh, yeah. You're a model citizen.

That's why we got you pegged for two murders.

I didn't mean to k*ll anybody. Ivan slit that woman's throat.

It was going to hurt my boy.

That's going to be hard to prove now that he's dead.

That makes you an accessory, and we can still

bag you for the k*ll.

Man, you can do whatever the hell you want.

I tried to work in your system and did all the right things.

I even worked minimum to take care of my boy.

So what?

A lot of people do that every day for a lot less.

What happened, Andre?

When you talked to my PO, I lost my job.

Nowhere to go, no money.

Brian and me were headed for the streets, and I wasn't

about to let that happen.

So you became a professional k*ller, right?

No.

I made payoffs for Dennis to make witnesses disappear.

They changed their testimonies.

So why k*ll Shirley Benton? Why not just pay her off?

I don't know.

Maybe they figured she'll come back for some more money.

Look, I didn't have anything to do with it, all right?

When Ivan split that woman's throat, I ran like hell.

Well, for that, they snatched your son.

Now, if you want him back in one piece.

Tell us where he is.

What the hell is taking him so long?

I guess your old man don't give a damn about you.

Calm down.

Ain't the end the world.

My dad broke out on me, too.

Here comes the punk now.

Oh, you're a real tough guy, tying up a kid.

You okay?

I hate to break up this tender scene, but you and I

-have a score to settle. -Why?

You said yourself no one would believe me.

We can't have you going around spreading vicious lies.

What lies? You k*lled that promoter.

And I even split that woman's throat

because Dennis told them to.

Well, by the time I get through, the police will think

that you k*lled them.

There's no way you can prove that.

You are ex-con, Andre.

You even smell guilty.

You were desperate.

I tried to convince you to turn yourself in, but you said

you couldn't face prison again.

So crazed, you shot your own son and then

turned the g*n on yourself.

You're an arrogant little b*stard.

You know that?

You really think the cops are that stupid?

Not only do I think it, I'm counting on it.

Tell your gratt to behave.

Get off of him.

You know what?

You both can go straight to hell because the cops

know all about you.

Police, don't move.

Don't move.

Turn around. Put your hands behind your back.

Move.

Up against the wall.

Hands behind your back now.

-You okay? -It's all right.

Anything you say can and will be used

against you in a court of rule.

You know we're going to have to go down now, all right?

Just give me a few minutes, J.C.

Just give me a few minutes, okay?

Take him.

I'll tell you, I'm sorry, all right?

I know you don't understand all of this,

but you've got to remember that I just did the best I could

with what I had, all right?

Just don't forget that you're my champ.

You know that, right?

I love you, okay?

[melancholic music]

No need to do that.

Listen, G, you don't need to

worry about Brian, all right?

Andre's cousin is going to take care of him.

It's not that.

Besides, he told me they were nice.

Then, what's wrong?

We had to visit Mom?

Well, I think she'll be pretty upset if you don't.

She want to talk about what I saw, I know.

-I'd rather forget it. -Why should you?

It's what people do.

I know you all did that to make me, but still.

Look, G, it's normal, all right? A man and a-

-Please, please don't. -What?

You're going to have to learn about the birds and the bees.

Hey, boy.

I don't even want to talk about what happened the other day.

-Well, neither do I. -Whatever.

-Next time, you call first. -No problem.

So is he all right?

Did you talk to him?

I tried, but he's a lot more like you than you think.

So what you saying I should say something.

No, just leave it alone.

He'll put it out of his head.

Oh, Chantal, so I guess you've been keeping it

up in that gym, huh?

Hold it tight now.

Don't let it go.

-How's it doing? - Hey.

-Hook me up. -Coming right out, man.

Here you go.

Listen, about the other day, I didn't mean to hurt

your feelings, but when it concerns my father,

I don't want you in the middle of it.

That's clear enough.

So tell me, what other parts of your life are off limits?

-We don't need to go there. -I think we do.

Define our relationship.

I'm not walking into this argument, okay?

I said my piece.

Well, I haven't said mine.

What am I, a rolling bed to you?

Something to take the edge off the day?

Come on, you know that's not true.

This is not about us.

Well, if it wasn't, it is now because I need to know.

If that's what it is, I can get that anywhere.

If you want to break up, you don't need to use this

as It's an excuse.

If that's what you think, I'm wasting my time.

This is going nowhere.

Hey, you took the words right out of my mouth.

Nina.

So you're going to let my arm fall off?

If I said yes, then what?

Then I'd know I have my signals crossed.

Do I?

No.

Thank you.

I guess I owe you an apology.

You say that like it hurts you.

It does.

I hate to be wrong.

You weren't wrong.

Andre was involved in criminal activity.

Yeah, but he wasn't the throw away that I thought he was.

And I shouldn't have slam you.

I'm sorry.

Now, first of all, Ms. Thomas, you didn't slam me.

At least not yet.

Second of all, if you really want to express your sorrow

to a brother, you could invite me to dinner.

I can't.

Got to go home and walk the dog.

Why don't you get that mutt back to your ex-husband?

Fat chance.

You want to come with me?

A little police protection?

Sure.

Yeah, nice man, J.C.

So what dog do you have?

A Rottweiler.
