[tv: indistinct]

[woman] who is it? uh,
it's me, greg medavoy.

just a sec.

Hi.

Hi. What are you doin' here?

Uh, I'm sorry, you
know, if it's a bad time.

Maybe you got company.
Are you kiddin'? Come in.

I took a chance you'd be home.
The rangers are playin' in toronto.

Yeah, they're on the
cable as we speak.

You want a beer or somethin'?
Uh, no, I don't think so.

So. Yeah. So.

So what a nice surprise.

I, uh, I wanted to tell you
that I've moved out of my house.

I've left my wife.

Oh, my god. Yeah.

Maybe I will have that
beer after all. Yeah.

when did all this
happen?
uh, tonight.

A couple of hours ago.

I, uh, I got a room
over at the days inn.

Here. Oh, thanks.

Mmm. Boy.

You know, uh, to tell
you the truth, donna,

Part of why I did it was because of
these feelings that I have for you.

This, uh, sense that there's a
certain chemistry between us.

I've been lying
awake nights. I... I...

All I think about is you.

I think about you too.

Does does your wife
know about me? No.

I mean, there's nothing
to tell. Nothing's happened.

Donna, I've been dyin' inside.

I'm a 40-year-old man. I've been
married since I was 22 years old.

You know,
m-m-maybe I'm at fault,

But it just seems like my wife's
not interested in me anymore.

Uh, I mean, we don't talk.
There's no romance, no, uh...

No, you know, sex.

And I thought... I'm no
good at lying, you know.

I don't want to cheat on her.

So if anything was
gonna happen here,

Uh, you know, between...
Between you and me,

I-i-i had to leave.

Boy.

Look,

I didn't mean to dump this
whole thing on you like this.

I mean, nothing has
happened between us.

I mean, I should
probably go if, you know...

I mean, uh, maybe you're
not even interested. Shh.

Gregory, I'm interested.

I can't...

I can't believe this.

I'm all yours, detective.

Oh.

Oh. Ob... "Ob"?

Oh, boy.

Sarge, I'm sharon lasalle.

I'm gonna be working
upstairs in the squad.

Welcome to the lovely
lower east side, detective.

upstairs straight ahead. thanks.

Good morning. Yes. Hello.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Are you okay? I'm fine.
How 'bout yourself?

Fine. Any regrets?

No. No regrets.

hey, sharon.

Hey, johnny.

How you doin'? good.

Good to see you. Yeah.

Guys, sharon lasalle. We
went to the academy together.

had the g*n for
tops in the class.
hey.

She's gonna be with us. Comin'
over from special victims.

This is my partner,
andy sipowicz.

How's it going? I heard a lot
about you. I heard about you too.

Wanna meet the lieutenant?
Come on. How you doin'?

Good. A little nervous. Don't
be. You're gonna do great.

Lieutenant, sharon lasalle.

How do you do, sharon?

Talk to you later. Welcome
to squad. Have a seat.

You've got a big
fan in john kelly.

Well, that's mutual. You
were in the academy together?

Yeah, and our first
detail, in public morals.

Good. I've put you on the same
team with john and andy sipowicz.

Great. Greg medavoy
and james martinez...

Are the others on that
team. John will introduce you.

Downside... We don't have a
female locker room or dormitory.

We set aside the restroom
outside of interview two,

And we put a locker in that interview
room that you can use for now.

Well, that's fine... For now.

My husband was gonna come
for lunch today, if that's okay.

No problem, as long
as nothing comes in.

How's danny doing?
Oh, he's great.

He's heading security
over at the university?

Yeah, just starting. I know he's gonna
miss the job, but he seems real happy.

Good.

Well, grab the desk
behind detective martinez.

Introduce yourself, and I'll
check with you during the day.

Thank you.

Hi. Sharon lasalle.
I'm james martinez.

She's the goods, huh? Oh, yeah.

She ought to be.
Danny deluca's wife.

You worked robbery
with him, didn't ya?

Yeah. He could work
a case. And tough.

Good guy. Just another in a long
line of successful cop marriages.

- mrs. Forbes here
to see detective kelly.
- detective kelly.

Oh, there you go, john,
your favorite sauce head.

Mrs. Forbes.

It's paul again.
Come on in. Sit down.

My husband went too
far this time, det. Kelly,

And I want something
done about it.

Go ahead.

well, last night,



he started by
attacking me verbally...


And progressed to
smacking me around.

Look at these bruises.

When I told him that I
couldn't tolerate it,

He threw a bottle
of vodka at my head.

Anything else?

What else does he have to do? What
does he have to do, maybe break my arm?

beat my head to a pulp
with the heel of a shoe?


What does it take to
move you assholes?

what it's gonna take, mrs. Forbes, is
for you to see these things through.


okay? You can't
withdraw complaints.


You gotta be willing to make the necessary
appearances. Are you willing to do that?

- Absolutely.
- absolutely.

in the last 18 months, I have
taken 11 statements from you.


You have either dropped the charges
or not shown up at the arraignments.

This time I want
you to call him up...

And I want you to let him know
exactly what's gonna happen to him...

Is this in addition to or
instead of arresting him?

He is terrorized of you people.

If you tell him,
he'll straighten out.

Then I won't have to drag the
messy b*stard through the courts,

And everybody will be happy,
all right? Here we go. Come on.

let's go. I don't know where
you're going.
go where?

I gotta go back to work.
No, you can't do this.

You're gonna go.
Let's go. Come on.

You won't get help
with your alcoholism,

And you won't go
through with the complaint.

How am I gonna help you?
If you don't call my husband,

I'm gonna start
screaming right here.

If you want to embarrass
yourself, that's your choice.

I'll call an ambulance,
they'll psycho you,

And you'll spend the rest of
the afternoon in a straightjacket.

Whatever happens
to me is on your head.

fine. fine.

Get your hands off of me!

These stairs are not maintained.

Hey, john. Hey. She's inside.

- Incoming civilian for you.
- hey, look who's here.

Danny. Hey, andy. How are you?

Good. Good to see you, man.

Hey, art. How you
doing? There's your lady.

Thanks. Hi, sweetie.

So tell me about the chancellor.
Seems like a really nice guy.

Says he wants to
meet you. Oh, well.

I'll be sure to wear
my cap and gown.

Don't crack so wise.

They've got a great setup on
employees accessing the school,

And spouses and children too.

Well, I don't think I'll be
taking any courses too soon,

And they might look strange at little
boys, six and eight, applying for college.

I'm saying down the road.

It's a great tuition setup
and so forth, really.

Anyways, I'm gonna like it.

He liked my ideas about security
down in the physical plant.

I mean, it's gonna take
a little settling in,

I'm not that crazy
about my sergeant.

He's probably having lunch now with
his wife, complaining about his new boss.

Hey, I'm a boss now.

[Laughs]

And I am gonna audit
some courses. Good.

- Italian art, I'm gonna audit.
- Good for you.

I'm gonna take you over there and
we're gonna see the real paintings.

And then I'm gettin' fresh with
you in one of those canal boats.

You got any cash on you?

Call in a robbery in progress
to 911. You got a phone?

don't jump these guys
till I get out there, danny.


yeah, this is detective lasalle,


Put your hands on the dashboard!
Police! check cashing corner.

Ninth and stiverson.

- Drop it! Drop it!
- danny, watch out!

oh, my god!

Two white males in ski masks.

[tires screeching]
[man] see that?


what happened?

I'm sorry. I-i thought
you were involved.

That's okay. That's all right.
I had the wrong getaway car.

See if anybody's hurt inside.
help! Help! Please! Somebody!

- My boss is dead! He's dead in there!
- Is anyone else inside?

One of the robbers and my boss.

They shot each other.
They're both dead.

[Siren wailing] help! Help!

i'm a detective.
Call an ambulance.


My husband's shot and there's
a victim and a perp down inside.

This is, 15 boy baker two. Put a
rush on a couple of ambulances.

We got three people shot, two
apparently d.o.a. Ninth and stiverson.

You come with me. V-c-9.

V-c-9 is the first... Is
all I got on the plates.

V-c-9 is the first three...
Three pieces on the plate.

Okay, you're okay. It's
not bad. It's not bad.

Maybe give it to the
radio car, sharon, 'cause...

'Cause you're all upset.
Yeah, yeah, okay, uh...

V-c-9 is the first three digits
on the licence plate. got it.

You just hold
on, okay? I'm okay.

Just hold on. Don't
give up. I'm all right.

I'm all right. I know you are.

I'm okay. Yeah.

[Panting]

Look at me. Don't
let go. I love you.

I love you. You don't let go.

You come on. You don't let go.

Don't let go.

I want no problem with
unmarked cars, inspector.

I want enough equipment.

No, he was d.o.a.
At the hospital.

He died in the
ambulance. All right.

Hi, donna. You want a
cup of coffee? No, thanks.

Anything off crime scene?

Uh, just the shotgun. We're workin'
to get the prints off that now.

Checking the surveillance
tape at the check cashing place.

Andy's talking to the guy
who was double-parked.

Says it all happened
too quick for him.

But we're takin' him through it.
Gonna show him some photographs.

What about you? I've got robbery
intelligence checking for similar patterns.

They're gonna bring those
cases over right away.

Auto crime's working on that
partial plate danny gave us.

Sharon called.

When she's done at the hospital,
she's comin' back over here.

Let's reach out to
narcotics and the d.e.a.

Okay. We're already
talkin' to our stools.

James, check with
the radio dispatcher.

Make sure he's getting the
partial of the getaway car...

Over the air citywide
every 30 minutes.

Okay, lieutenant. okay.

He'd been off the force, what,
two weeks? Two and a half, she said.

How old are his
kids? Six and eight.

All right, let's go to work.

15th detective squad.
One moment, please.


Detective medavoy.

Line two.

hi. I'm back.

Hi.

Look, this isn't a good
time to talk right now.

We just had an ex-cop k*lled
tryin' to stop a robbery.

No, i-i can't. Not tonight.

Marie, come on.

What, you think I like this?

You think a 40-year-old man
likes living in a hotel room?

you think I don't
miss my family?
15th.

Look, I can't have this conversation
now. I can't do it. I can't...

i'm gonna have to
call you back, okay?

Have a seat.

Det. Kelly, mrs. Forbes.

det. Kelly, if you don't mind,

Paul beat me again,

thanks to your refusal to
even call him when I asked you to.


I filled out the whole form
for you, and it's been typed up.

now, this should make your
job a lot easier, shouldn't it?


Let me see the form.

Okay. I'll send somebody
over to arrest him right now.

Would you please not arrest him
at his work? He is on thin ice there.

We are gonna pick him up. If you're not
interested, take your paperwork back.

No. If that's the only way
you'll do it, then I have no choice.

Okay. Okay. Arrest
the son of a b*tch.

- Work on that, okay?

Yeah, I'm gonna do it.

Hey, come here.
Come in here with me.

I wanted to ask you if you
would come home with me. sure.

i know you want

No, I'll come home with

Well, my sister's bringin' the
kids home from school. Okay.

I'd like to be there to tell
them. You want to go now?

Yeah, we should.
We should. okay.

I don't want them to hear
on the tv. all right. Come on.

Let's go. Okay, yeah.

cop. Yeah, that's right.

That's how I know your folks.

I know.

You know, when I wasn't
much older than you guys,

My dad, who was a cop just
like your dad, he was shot too.

You know, and I remember
when it happened.

All these cops came over
to the house, you know,

And they were tellin' me
how my dad died a hero.

you know, but inside me,

I just felt like he
was gone, you know.

He was a great dad too.

yeah, he was a great
dad, wasn't he.

You know what I did?

i thought of my dad. I

Let me let you in

days around here...

We should be gettin' to a hospital.


A cop got k*lled, you
scumbag piece of garbage!

Now, you listen to me. Now,
you were outside, all right?

You dropped the shotgun while someone
in that getaway car k*lled that man.

you were an accessory. Now, you
want that to account for somethin',


Then you'll give up the
names of the guys in that car.

Hey, look, if I don't go to a
hospital I'm gonna die here!

So that's a no on plan "a",
right, leo? Hey, come on, man.

Dr. Kelly, you want to
hand me my gloves there?

What are you doin'?
What's goin' on here?

[Chuckles] I'm gonna have to
operate right here in the car, leo.

I mean, that's your
only chance here.

For god's sake,
he's gonna k*ll me!

A cop died, you son of a b*tch!

now, if you want to get
to a hospital... [Screaming]


and avoid some extremely
painful emergency surgery,


Then you will give up
the names of those guys.

Okay, okay, all right! It was
curtis perriman was the driver.

I don't know who the other
guy is. You got an address?

i swear to god I don't
know. Yeah, I got an address.

hi. Jamie? Hi, honey.

Oh, I miss you too.

How was school?

don't cry, jamie. Come on.

no. No, that's not true.

no, it's not your fault. You
tell your sister I said so.


I love you and your sister.

And, and, and I love mommy too.

it's just that sometimes
mommies and daddies...


have to get away from
each other for a while.


you know, to figure out
their... Their problems.


You know, like kevin
appley's mom and dad.

What? Who told you that?

Yeah, well, you tell bobby
walden that that's not true,

And it's none of his business who
kevin appley's mother was intercoursing.

Does, uh... Does katie
want to talk to me?

Oh. Well, um...

Well, tell her I love her
anyway, even if she hates me.

Uh, yeah. Maybe.

listen, honey, I gotta
run. I got crimes to solve.


[sipowicz] come on, as*h*le,
let's go.
I love you too.

Bye. [Kisses]



Anybody hear me
ask for a lawyer?

you want a lawyer,
curtis? You can have one.


But I want you to take a
minute, shut your mouth,

and let us tell you
where you stand.


That's your
specialty, huh, curtis,

Takin' off these
check cashing places?

You know, we looked back at
one that went down last month...

And guess whose mug
was on the security tape.

- But that don't mean
anything now.
- your buddy leo gave you up.

So we know you were in the
getaway car. That's a done deal.

that's done. Now the only
thing you got going for you,


The only thing, is that if
you were the wheel man,

You couldn't have pulled
the trigger that shot the cop.

that may be good for you. that's
if you really were the wheel man.

If we don't come up with the trigger
man, we'll go with you as the sh**ter.

See, curtis, the only...

The only guy who's gettin'
a deal here is the wheel man.

So I can have a d.a. Come in here
in five minutes and cut a deal.

Hey, you're forgettin'. He
wants to have a lawyer in here,

Tell him to shut up and
go on trial for cop-k*lling.

- Hey, wait, now.
- No. No waiting.

you request an
attorney, we stop talkin'.


Okay? You will be
constitutionally protected...

from somethin' that could save you


All right. Forget
about the lawyer.

You sure you don't
want a lawyer?

Yeah, I'm sure.

A.d.a. Costas, I got curtis perriman inside
who wants to deal on the deluca sh**ting.

I can't deal with him.
what are you talkin' about?

This guy's ready to give
us a cop k*ller. No good.

I heard him request
an attorney before.

Well, he doesn't want an
attorney. Come in there with me.

- he'll tell you himself.
- he can't rescind that request
without counsel present.

Everything you get
from him subsequently...

Is tainted and inadmissible.
It's tainted, huh?

That's right. And I'm informing
you that if asked in court,

I will have to say what I heard.

I'm telling you, get a
lawyer with this guy...

Before he offers any substantive
information. This guy's got no lawyer.

He's gonna get one of
them legal aid humps,

doesn't want to make any decisions
till three weeks from thursday.


Meanwhile, the sh**ter that he
could give us winds up in cleveland.

If you bring that
sh**ter in off cooperation

This man gave without
legal representation,

He will walk out of court.

Do what I'm telling you.

Get him an attorney. I'll
make sure my office deals.

detective kelly! mr. Forbes,
what are you doin' here?

I was released after being
falsely accused by my wife.

She withdrew the charge at
the arraignment. Oh, my god.

What do you want? I
want you to see this video.

i want you to see
the kind of person...


Whose complaint you saw fit
to arrest me; she assaults me.

You want to go on
record with that, you take

It downstairs and
they'll get you started.

She attacks me with a bag
of ice from the freezer.

She smashes a lamp, then tears the drapes
off the front window. Take it downstairs.

You hear me? So she can come
in here and have me arrested,

But I come in with evidence, which
she never had, and you do nothing.

Tell me something, detective,
she do you any oral favors?

Hey, you better stop now. She's done
oral favors for people who did less.

If you are not out
of here in 30 seconds,

I'm gonna put you in for disorderly
conduct, and I will not drop the charges.

I'll leave the tape.
I'll add littering. Go.

that's your client, and I'd
say that's pretty incriminating.


There's not a jury in the world
that won't convict off that.

I'm confused, counselor. I thought that we
were here to discuss the deluca sh**ting.

What's on the tape is
a sure three-to-five.

I'll fold in the homicide that
he was involved in yesterday.

No, all that you have to implicate
my client on that homicide...

Is the uncorroborated
allegation...

of an admitted criminal. believe me,
we can put mr. Perriman away forever.

And I also understand that
there were some ambiguities...

regarding the
assignment of counsel.


I want you to understand what
a good package we're offering...

And how small your
window of opportunity is.

Hmm. Well, I wonder if you would be so
insistent if you really believed your case.

hey, look, his partner rats,

He's on tape using the
same m.o. A month ago,

the getaway car is
being dusted as we speak.


We got him. The man is guilty.

The only question is
how much time he does.

You can have mr. Perriman
home before his 30th birthday,

Or he does 25-to-life upstate.

Even a legal aid hump like
you can figure those numbers.

Tell me the offer again.

Hi, sharon. How's it
going? Hey, andy. Good.

Hey. Hey, any progress?

We don't know the guy who shot
danny yet, but we're gettin' close.

How'd it go with the union reps?

Not good. I get his
columbian society benefits,

But on his pension, we
decided to go with plan "b".

yeah. he was only


Take the benefits
while he's still alive.

Yeah. We'll work
somethin' out. We'll be okay.

Yeah. A.d.a. Costas,
detective lasalle.

Condolences on
your loss. What's up?

You got somethin' for johnny?
He's recommending the package.

I think you're gonna get
your name. Good. Good.

police! Get inside! Get inside!

Get back! Come out
here! Come out here!

go, go, go, go! what's wrong?

we're looking for donald
clayton! Donald clayton!


- Is he your son?
- Yes!

Where is he? I don't
know where he is.

[man] we're clear. We're clear.

Ma'am, your son shot and k*lled
a police officer. Oh, god, no.

If you know where he is, you
better tell him to turn himself in.

This is the way we're lookin' for
him. Do you understand, mrs. Clayton?

What are you saying? He's got a better
chance in court than on the street.

Now, you get him that message,
all right? You know where he is?

no, no, I don't, but he
calls me sometimes.


you just let him know
how we're lookin'.


[whimpering]

What's your name, darling?

Donna abandando.

You're norman gardner,
the tv reporter. Yes, I am.

donna, would you tell lt. Arthur
fancy I'd like to see him, please?


Well, it'd be better if I
could tell him what it's about.

It's between me and
the lieutenant, but you

Can be sure I'm not
gonna waste his time...

Because I never waste mine.

Can I help you, mr. Gardner?
Yes, you can, sir.

In my office.

You know what he's doing here,
don't you, kelly? I got an idea.

This prick we're lookin' for is gonna
surrender to that two-bit publicity junkie.

Is this about clayton?
Okay, here's the deal.

My guy's afraid he's gonna take a beating,
minimum, so in order to allay his fears,

I want to follow him from the street
all the way through the booking process.

Now, I realize we can't
be in the interrogation,

But I want to pick him
up when he comes out.

I want to hear him say
he wasn't mistreated.

I want to follow him to his cell
door... That's not gonna happen.

I don't see how you have
a choice here. Don't you?

Suppose we announce in the media
you're setting unreasonable terms.

We send a message to this perp
to contact some other reporter.

You're not the only hustler
with a minicam in the city.

What would be your plan?

You can set your
camera up on the street,

Walk him to the door of the
station house, wish him a nice life.

No way. This individual's putting
his physical safety in my hands.

I have an obligation to make
sure my promises to him hold.

You want to stay with
him in his cell all night?

No camera. Just you,
him and a bar of soap.

Look, don't bust my ba*ls,
lieutenant. I'll tell you what.

You let me bring the camera inside,
I'll turn him over to you personally.

You can turn him over to detectives
kelly and sipowicz by the front desk.

On camera, inside the building. You
say good-bye at the bottom of the stairs.

Can I interview the
detectives? If they'll talk to you.

When do we see the man? I
think I can get him here quick.

You wouldn't have him in a truck
parked down the block, would you?

I think I can get
him here quick.

Kelly, sipowicz.

So, uh, what's the next chevy
chase there want, lieutenant?

He's gonna bring in the sh**ter. He'll
turn him over to you inside the front door.

On camera. On camera.

Keep your comments
brief. Get the guy upstairs.

When's he comin'
in? anytime now.

Can I call sharon? She
wanted to be here. Go ahead.

this is the front desk
area of the 15th precinct.


In a few moments, you'll
see me walk out this door...

And return with the most
wanted man in new york city,

Accused cop k*ller
jimmy clayton.

mr. Clayton, who claims
he is innocent, fears


for his life at the
hands of the police.


He's told me the only
way he believes he can

Safely give himself
up is with my help...

And under your watchful
eyes, so please stay tuned.

Cut. Excuse me, fella.

Detectives, uh...

I'm sipowicz, he's kelly, in case
you want to insult us by name.

Guys, there's certain things I
have to say to satisfy my viewers.

they tend to dislike cops.
Today's just your day in the barrel.


Personally, I think you're doin' a
terrific job. You wanna bring him in soon?

Bring him in.

So, det. Kelly, this is your case,
right? Yeah. We all worked on it.

Well, listen, you guys want to get some
pictures of the three of us together...

For your families
later, it's no problem.

And people say
you're an as*h*le.

Yeah, you ready?

Bring him in.

My assistant has just turned
jimmy clayton over to my custody.

Mr. Clayton, you're accused of
k*lling retired detective daniel deluca.

did you do that, sir? I didn't k*ll
nobody. They need a scapegoat.


I'm poor and white,

And ain't nobody gonna stand
up for me, and they know that.

You're under arrest. You
have the right to remain silent.

you have the right to an
attorney. You're damn right I do.


If you cannot afford an attorney,
one will be appointed to you.

det. Andy sipowicz, did you
tell this man's mother, quote,


"jimmy would do better taking his chances
in court than on the street," end quote?


Quote, "nope," end quote.

he might be k*lled in
the street by police


before he could turn
himself over to authorities.


how do you respond to that, det.
Kelly? Mr. Clayton's being arrested...


for the m*rder of a man during an armed
robbery. You agreed to be interviewed.


now you're running away
from some tough questions.


do you also intend to break your promises
regarding mr. Clayton's physical safety?


Nobody made you any promises
about your safety, scumbag.

Now, why don't you get out of
here. You sucked enough blood today.

Cut.

all right. Turn to the side.

Did you ever think you
were that ugly, jimmy?

How you doin'?

I asked johnny to let me
know when they got the guy.

I don't know you well, sharon, so I
hope you'll forgive me askin' you this:

You just here for a look?

Am I thinkin' of
takin' the guy out?

Maybe if there weren't two
kids in the picture, lieutenant.

Okay.

Hey, I said relax.

sharon.

Do you, uh, do you recognize
any of these people?

No. That is my family.

See the man holding
the two kids? Smiling man?

Hey, man, what is this?
That was my husband!

The detective is talkin' to
you. That was my husband, okay?

You k*lled him
yesterday. You did.

And you see these children?
That is peter and that's jimmy.

I didn't do it.
oh, yeah, you did.

Oh, yeah, and you're gonna do the
time for it, you little piece of garbage.

You took my children's father.

I have nothing to
say. You know what?

You're gonna be a really
big hero in the joint.

You k*lled a cop.

I'm sorry it happened
out that way.

good night, medavoy.

Good night, donna.
Good night, lieutenant.

Hi. Hi.

So, I hope you got stock
in the phone company.

Yeah. I've been
havin' a lot of calls.

Your family loves you. Yeah.

How you doin' with
all that? Awful.

Are you going back?

She says she...

She really wants to try to
put things back together, donna.

Marie says she
really wants to try.

She says that I didn't
give her a fair chance,

That I didn't express
myself how unhappy I was.

I mean, uh, I know I got
problems in that area.

You know, sayin'
what's on my mind.

Not with me. Yeah.

Not so much with you.

Anyways, uh, with
the kids and all, um,

I figure I owe it to
'em to give it a shot.

[siren wailing] okay.

You know, I'd hate
for you to think...

That I was lying about
leaving home and everything...

Just to get
you in... In... In...

Bed? Bed, yeah.

I don't think you lied.

But you got to
understand, gregory.

There's no way we can see each other
romantically if you're back with your wife.

I know. I did that once
with a new york ranger,

And I swore, "never again."

I understand.

You may be the best thing
that ever happened to me, donna.

Good night, greg.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Good night, andy.
I'll see you, med.

Hey, listen, I hope you
weren't talkin' to that guy...

Without his legal representation
present. They wanted a deal.

You didn't give 'em
anything. I didn't give 'em d*ck.

I wasn't squeezing your shoes. I
didn't want your case to go away.

Ah, you had a point there. I mean,
I'll sometimes overlook the niceties.

Listen, you hungry? Yeah.

Tough.

Come on. I'll take
you out to dinner.

Come on. Thanks.

Kelly. [sharon] yeah.

You okay? I'm gonna be okay.

I know you're
gonna be okay. Yeah.

You know, when,
uh, danny was alive,

I always felt how he loved me.

I felt it even when
we weren't together.

Carried it with me all the time.

I mean, I'm my own
woman, you know.

I know who I am, and it
wasn't like danny's love...

Made me anything I wasn't.

But, um,

It made me feel very, very good.

And I still feel that now.

I still feel his love for me.

And that's gonna make me strong
for the boys and doing what I gotta do.

But the thing is, um...

I'm not gonna
have danny with me.

At the end of the day,

I'm not gonna have him to
hold me, you know, and, uh...

That's, uh... That's
gonna be very hard.

Would you drive me home
and, um, look in on the boys?

I would absolutely
drive you home.

Thanks. [knock on door]

Excuse me. There's a
woman here, detective kelly.

She's incoherent and she's
asking for you. I wanna see you now.

Give me a moment.

No, you are not gonna talk
to me. I don't have the time.

What you are gonna do is
sit over here on this bench...

and wait till somebody
gets to you, okay?


sit right there and wait.

There you go.

What's goin' on with your arm?

Just a flesh cut.

Stopped bleeding.

- You up for a short wait?
- Yeah. I gotta make
a few calls.

Okay, thanks. Okay,
mrs. Forbes, come on.

I want to hear it.
Please. Sit down.

right there.

I can see by your eyes you
already know it's about my husband.

Tell me what happened.

[Laughs] you know us, detective.

Always fighting. Like
two bobcats in a bag.

[Sighs] then we made up.

We would drink and make up.

always.

i told him...

I told him, I said,

"Please...

"Don't listen to
the news radio...

When I'm watching
the tape machine."

i distinctly told him, and he
ignored me. Okay. Mrs. Forbes,


Tell me what happened.
And I said to him...

I said, "you're gonna
have to answer to me."

And he never did.

[Sniffles] and I stabbed him...

in the back of the
neck with a knife.


[Sobs] how bad did you stab him?

Oh, bad.

Very bad.

He died on me,
the son of a b*tch.

Okay, I'm gonna send a radio car
over there to check it out. Come on.

Okay. We'll go in an
interview room. Come on.

Come on. I saw you
looking over here.

That's enough. You think you're
better than I am, but you're not.

I loved paul, and he loved me. We
had something. Now I have nothing.

i don't know what I'm
gonna do without him!


[crying]

I, uh...

Sure.
