Post by bunniefuu »

Andy:
previously on "nypd blue"...

Is there something you want
to tell me about disney world?

Theo wants you to go, so...

Do you want me to go?

To disney world? I haven’t
even thought about it.

You’re under suspension.
Shield and g*n.

If someone didn’t know better,

They might think this
was a no‐win setup.

Haven’t you ever heard
of an integrity test?

This played out more like
a personal vendetta.

You fail to report a bribe,
and it’s my fault?

Smoker’s coming up in a month.
Great...

Kinda hoping someone
from the detective squad

Would finally lace them up.

Ortiz has been going
through a lot lately,

And she don’t need anybody
bringing more static

Into her life right now.

How is she? Caliente?

Don’t lie to me.
Give it up.

I’m gonna kick your ass.

When rodriguez was
in undercover narcotics,

Fraker was in uniform,
apparently riding shotgun

For some guy he didn’t
know was a dope dealer.

Your boy ratted him out.

So now fraker’s after him.

The way he sees it, rodriguez
put him into internal affairs,

Where he never wanted to be.

Rodriguez gave up cops?
You’re sure.

Good advice is start swimming

So rodriguez doesn’t
pull you down with him.

So, we got a new
lieutenant coming in

Until this whole thing
with rodriguez clears?

There’s nothing we can
do about that.

You need to worry about getting
in shape for this fight.

How long is the fight,
3 rounds?

Scheduled, yeah.

But there’s this thing
called a knockout,

Which tends to end the fight
a little sooner.

You’ll find out.

You need to speed things up
here a little, slick.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.
I’m warming up, man.

Laughlin’s been at it
a week already.

I heard he hired a guy

Used to train hector camacho
back in east harlem.

Ho, ho, ho!

You know, next week,
if you’re not ready,

It won’t be too late
to go to laughlin and apologize

And call off the fight.

30, 40 Years from now,

No one will remember
what happened.

How’s it going, boss?

It’s all right.
You know.

When do you report
to the borough?

Tomorrow. They give you a day
to go stir‐crazy.

Waitress: menu?
No.

So, what’s up?

Are you sure there’s no history
between you and fraker?

I’m sure.
Maybe something you forgot?

What is it, andy?

Martens from iab ‐‐

He says that 10 years ago,
you fingered some cops

Who were riding shotgun
for dope dealers.

Fingered cops?
Like, ratted them out?

Fraker was one of those cops.
That’s what put him in iab.

I never ratted on cops.

Did you ever
investigate a cop?

Never. Never buddied up
to a dirty cop,

Never wore a wire
on a cop ‐‐ never.

I would never do that.

Then where the hell
is this coming from?

Once, deep undercover,

I got an overheard that cops
were riding on dope runs

For some guys
that I was keeping an eye on.

These dealers were very violent,
very volatile guys.

And if things went sour,

These cops could’ve been
k*lled ‐‐ and me, too.

So I reported it generally,

Along with a hundred
other things.

Okay.

There’s a difference between
reporting general knowledge

And fingering specific cops.
I know that.

I couldn’t exclude what I heard.
I couldn’t just sit on it.

So, fraker got caught up
in this overheard,

And traced it back to you.

Now it’s my fault
he’s a miserable brat.

I gotta roll.

Andy...
Don’t get into it.

If this gets ugly,
it’ll take you down, too.

I’ll be in touch.

We got an attempted
armored‐car stickup.

Guards and perps traded sh*ts.
Guard for the armored car’s doa.

Witnesses?
Just these guys.

The driver’s down on the end,
the other guard’s right here.

They were at each other’s
throats when we responded.

We’ll take the guard.

Excuse me?
Are you the guard?

Yeah. Gene greaves.
What happened?

Me and manny were leaving
the hotel with our pickup ‐‐

Manny’s the doa?
He’s the other guard.

He’s watching my back
when this blue sedan pulls up.

Three guys get out,
one of them has got a shotgun.

You pull your g*ns?

Supposed to give it up.

Me and manny dropped the bags,
put our hands up.

But that dickhead ‐‐ who’s
supposed to be driving only ‐‐

He gets out of the car,
and he starts throwing sh*ts.

Manny’s blood is on his hands.
Yeah, you!

Greg: calm down. Calm down.

They just wanted the money,

And this assh*le turns it
into the o. K. Corral.

Shotgun...
Right in manny’s face.

What’s your name?

Mike menendez.
I reacted, okay?

I was just trying to help.
He’s got no right ‐‐

Slow down.

They were getting robbed.
I got out to defend them.

How many perps?
Three.

Did you get a good look?

They had on ski masks...

But they were white guys,
I could tell that.

You hit any of them?

One for sure
that I know of.

High, like in the face
or in the neck.
He was bleeding.

And I got a couple rounds
in the car.

Andy: so the guard
over there,

His beef with you is that
you got the b*ll*ts flyin’.

I’m an ex‐marine.

I saw action in desert storm.
I got instincts.

All right,
stick around.

[ Sighs ]
this robbery was amateur hour.

You get the hint from your guy
this was an inside job?

You know whose
neighborhood this is?

Julian’s.
I’ll page him.

We’ll get a canvass going.

And, uh, no word on, uh,

When the boss
is gonna be coming back?

Just work the case.
Let’s see what happens.

Clark: hey, john.
John: good morning, detective.

Hey, we’re up.

Female doa found
in a garbage truck

Over on orchard street.

That rodriguez’s interim?

Yeah. Lieutenant shanley.

What’s his story?

He just wants to be kept up
on major developments

If the borough calls.

Other than that,
don’t steal anything.
Andy: great.

Communications just called on
that armored‐car job you caught.

They found an abandoned lincoln
five blocks from the scene.

Shattered windshield, ski mask,
blood on the passenger side.

Crime scene’s heading down
to process it.

Thanks.

I’ll canvass emergency rooms,

See if they’ve treated
anybody with a g*nsh*t wound.

I may need to take a little
lost time this afternoon.

Everything all right?

Just looking into some things
on rodriguez.

You got a visitor
here, clark.

Looks like it.

I didn’t want him
getting lost.

You’re a real team
player there, laughlin.

Tommy hackett,
who organizes the smokers?

He was giving me a hard time ‐‐
it’s not for grudge matches.

So I told him me and you,
it’s gonna be good fun, right?

Nothing but.

I mean, i’m looking forward to
the fight ‐‐ don’t get me wrong.

All right, b*at it,
laughlin.

I’m glad to see you.

Let’s go, julian.

Right.

Sit.

All right, so we need your help
on this armored‐car thing.

Oh, we need,
we need, we need ‐‐

It’s always "we need"
with you guys.

Maybe I have a situation here

And I need a little help
for once.

"For once"?
Make it quick.

Are you familiar with
the "girls gone wild" videos?

Yeah.

I’ve...seen it advertised.

Basically, this guy
filmed these drunk chicks

Flashing their funbags
at mardi gras,

And now he’s this
multimillionaire.

So me and my buddy aldo,
we put our heads together,

And boom!
Lightbulb goes off.

What about making videos
like that for the ladies?

So we go down to new orleans
to film guys flashing,

And we were gonna call it
"guys gone nuts."

Andy: "guys gone nuts"?

Yeah.

And these guys
are showing their units?

It’s for the ladies.

What do you need, julian?

We’re out on the streets,
no permits.

Cops confiscated my gear ‐‐

5 Grand in video equipment,
20 hours worth of tape.

20 Hours of guys
with their johnsons hanging out?

Can you get it
released for me or what?

One of the armored‐car
company’s guards

Was k*lled
in the attempted robbery.

They’re putting up
25 grand for info.
Whoo.

That should get you
back into gay p*rn real quick.

Okay. All right.

I will address
that comment later.

But on this thing ‐‐
you told me on the phone

That the robbers
used a shotgun, right?
Right.

Week ago, i’m down at
davey jones liquor locker.

Mutual friend of mine
brings me over the owner ‐‐

Guy named vinnie.

Vinnie asks me if I can
get him a shotgun to rent.

I told him, you know,
i’d see what I could do.

Did you?

I got back to vinnie
a couple of days later,

But he said he had already
taken care of everything.

That’s all I got.

We’ll look into it.

Don’t let this thing
get back to me.

Andy: wait till
you hear from us.
Okay.

Female doa
in the garbage hold

Wrapped up in a garbage bag.

Helper saw her legs sticking out
when they emptied the dumpster.

Any i. D.?
I didn’t make my way
into the hold yet.

That’s why god made e. S. U.

They got a situation uptown.

Said they’ll send a unit
from the bronx.

So, you waited for us?
I didn’t want to disturb
the scene.

We’ll poke around
till they get here.

Hold our camera?

Sure.

[ Coughs ]
it’s fragrant.

Oh.

I’ve never smelled
a garbage truck that wasn’t.

[ Clears throat ]
let’s see what we got.

White female, 25 to 40.
Blood on clothes.

Jewelry is still on.

Maybe a g*nsh*t
under here.

Looks like...
Three in the chest.

What a way to end up.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

Sorry. The guys
are gonna love this.

Listen, i’m gonna be putting
in for some vacation time.

I’ll be gone for a week
coming up in a month or so.

Where you going?

I’m gonna take theo
to disney world.

He’s gonna love that.

Yeah.

Well, since he’s been spending
a lot of time with connie,

He wants her to go, too.

She going?

I don’t know. Maybe.

That’s, uh, that’s kind of
a development.

Well, her and theo
are tight, you know.

All right, now i’ve
been layin’ back,

Minding my own business.

What’s going on
with you and connie?

Nothing. We just hang out,
the three of us.

Come on.

Nothing. I’m telling you.

Well, what do you
wanna have happen?

I go back and forth
on that.

What’s holding you back?

Oh, I don’t know,
maybe the 20 years between us,

Me being a mutt
and hearing other guys

Making comments about her

And wanting to kick them
in their teeth.

You’re putting
a lot of energy into this,

But it’s energy spent
trying to swim upstream.

Maybe you do yourself a favor,
and you go with it.

The main things that
you’re worried about,

It doesn’t look like connie
gives a damn about that.

Look at this.

That son of a bitch.
Is he playing both sides?

He’s sure trying.

Oh, this son of a bitch.

No, let him go.
We can’t forget,

This guy’s just a rattlesnake
when you come right down to it.

Greg, until I see
physical evidence

Of you landing
a 19‐pound pike,

My record stands.

All right, you pain
in the ass. I gotta go.

Yeah, gotta go. Bye.

Greg simon,
lieutenant over at the 3‐4 ‐‐

Just got back
from the catskills.

What do you got?

Fingerprint hit on our doa
found at the garbage truck.

Mary jane canavan.

M.e. Says 3 in the chest
with a .38.

Copy page 7, fax it over to
lieutenant simon in 3‐4 squad.

Why do we got
this lady’s prints?

She a skel?

Uh, she’s bonded.
Works at manhattan trust bank.

Turns out after she
left work on friday,

Her till came up
40 grand short.

Fbi’s got, um,
an investigation going,

But, um, they’re
keeping some distance

Hoping she’d turn up
with the dough.

Ooh, you’re very tight
in there.

You know,
actually, i’m okay.

Do this, turn around ‐‐
i’ll cr*ck your back.

Uh, doa’s husband
is coming in.

I should, uh... Go prepare.

Well, don’t be so tense,
mcdowell.

Fastest way
to an early grave.

I’ll remember that.

[ Sighs ]

Whoa.

Whoa.

Whoa!

What the hell kind of game
you running here, julian?!

Game? What are you
talking about?!

Why did you stop
by the bar just now?!

To talk to vinnie
to see what kind of info
I could get for us!

We don’t need you
running around
playing sheriff.

So you got no interest in vinnie
being all freaked out?!

Looking for a doctor to treat
somebody at their house

For cash, no questions?!

Huh?

You said that
one of the robbers
got sh*t, right?

Well, that’s probably
the same guy

That vinnie’s
trying to get a doctor for.

Did you give vinnie a name?

Yeah, I know someone
who does doctor work.

Jones: unit one for unit two.

Go ahead.

Suspect’s leaving.
We’re tailing him.

If you’re lying to us
about any of this, julian ‐‐

I swear to god!!

You’re welcome.

Greg: we’re looking for a guy
with probable facial wounds.

He may have been involved

In that armored‐car heist
this morning.

This his house?
We don’t know.

We followed another suspect
here ‐‐ vinnie preoli.

We’ll get everybody out first,
then search the place.

Everything’s a big
production with these guys.

What happened to just going
through the door?

You called us,
now let us do our job.

This is the new york city
police department

Addressing the occupants
of number 8,000.

You are to exit through
the front door

With your hands
above your heads in plain sight.

Male officer: be advised
we have a white male
peeping out the front window.

This is your final warning!

All occupants
of number 8,000,

Exit the dwelling
immediately.

Rear team, make entry.

Male officer: copy that.
We’re going in.

Last guy ‐‐ that’s vinnie.
We’ll take him.

Take it easy, vinnie.

Four generations
they just humiliated.

Your injured suspect’s
not inside.

Yeah.
And we stand some sh*t

Of getting vinnie
to cooperate now.

Unbelievable.

Have a seat.

I told the fbi ‐‐

I haven’t got a clue
where mary ann is.

And I really need
to get back home.

What’s the rush,
mr. Canavan?

I am in the middle
of my ethics booklet.

I need to complete it
for my cpa license.

That’s more important
than finding your wife?

I don’t know where she is.

When’s the last time
you saw her?
Friday morning.

When did the fbi
come see you about her?
Yesterday.

So, she was gone all weekend,
and no missing person’s report?

Well...she’s been
a little flighty lately.

How so?

Lots of girls’ nights out,

Trips to the hamptons
that i’m asked not to attend.

Who does she go with?

Her new best buddy ‐‐
victoria golden.

Was she supposed to be
with victoria this weekend?

I assume.

We had a fight on thursday,
I haven’t talked to her since.

Well, where are we
gonna find victoria?

Look in the dictionary
under "meddling whore."

Why don’t you
tell us a little more

About your wife
and ms. Golden?

Victoria was a stylist
in my wife’s hair salon

Who convinced my wife
she was morbidly obese ‐‐

Which she is not ‐‐

And that if she
lost the weight,

She’d have
more fun in life.

And your wife
took the advice?

Over the last 9 months,
she lost 80 pounds.

And victoria started
inviting her out nights.

Did your wife
ever mention anything

About a plan
to steal money?

Never. I already told
the fbi all of this.

Do you own a g*n?

Of course not...

Why would you ask that?

Mr. Canavan, i’m afraid
we’ve got some bad news.

I really should
get back to my booklet.

Tell us, first,

If you recognize the woman
in this photograph.

But, um...
Prepare yourself.

[ Sobbing ]

[ Metallic clicking ]

Empty your pockets.

Where were you
this morning, vinnie?

You should’ve just
knocked on the door.

I would’ve walked out.

The way it went down
was for your safety.

Yeah, with my grandkids
walking out

With their hands over
their heads, terrified?

Think how they would’ve felt
if we come in with g*ns drawn.

Remember that little cuban kid
they had holed up in miami?

The look on his face
when the cops yanked him
out of that closet?

This way was better.

You should’ve just
knocked on my door. Like men.

The important thing, vinnie,
is why we were there ‐‐

And the fact that
you haven’t played dumb

And asked us why we had
you walk out of the house ‐‐

At least we’re
on the same page with that.

We ain’t on the same page
on nothing.

The armored‐car heist
this morning, vinnie.

Wrong guy.

Is that your move?
Stickin’ your head
in the sand?

We saw that you filed for
bankruptcy two months ago
and there’s a lien on your bar.

These are all factors we
could take into consideration.

Who’s been saying
I was involved in some heist?

When your getaway car got
dumped 5 blocks from the crime?

We got people who saw
that chinese fire drill.

All sorts of people
are starting to talk.

And so you might want
your voice heard now, too.

You should have knocked
on my door.

Vinnie, here we are.

Yeah, I know where I am,

And I ain’t
talking to you guys.

So...get me a lawyer.

Sit down, victoria.

When is the last time you
saw mary ann canavan?

Um, last week.
I’m worried sick.

Were the two of you supposed
to spend the weekend together?

No.

Her husband said different.

He thought you
probably had plans.

I’m sure he told you a lot
of wrong things about me.

Why don’t you
head him off at the pass?

He probably said I know

About her stealing
that money from the bank.

Why would he say that?

’Cause he’d like
to get me in trouble.

He thinks I broke up
his marriage,

But all I did was get her
to come out of her shell.

Losing the weight,
taking her out dancing.

Making her
into a human being.

He could’ve come, too.
He wanted to stay a schlub.

Any other guys in the mix?

What did he say about that?
He give a name?

You tell us.

I don’t know about any guy.

So you went out
2 or 3 times a week,

Sometimes full weekends ‐‐
all dolled up ‐‐

And there were no guys
mixing in?

No.

Victoria, we’ve got
some bad news.

Mary ann was found this morning.
She’d been m*rder*d.

Oh, my god.

So, if there was a guy,

And you’ve been trying
to protect her honor

By holding back who he is,

All you’re doing is keeping us
from finding who k*lled her.

She never mentioned a name,

Just that there was this guy
from her work, and he was cute.

She was sleeping with him?

Uh, could’ve been.

Was it him she
was going out with sometimes,

Maybe using you for a cover?

Maybe sometimes.

But she never
mentioned his name?

No.

Hey, can I go?
I’m not feeling well.

If you suddenly remember
anything else about mary ann

That you think
might help us...

Okay, but i’m, like,
sick to my stomach right now.

Stay reachable.

I’m here.
What do you want?

Your guy fraker
is a vengeful prick.

What am I doing here?

Rodriguez reported
on a group of dirty cops

That he got wind of
on an overheard.

It had nothing to do
with fraker specifically.
So what?

Rodriguez isn’t the rat
you made him out to be.

I was just telling you
what I heard.

From fraker.
I got work to do.

What’s gonna get fraker
off rodriguez’s ass?

I don’t know, sipowicz.
Ask him.

There’s gotta be something
in his past,

Something he’s doing now.

If there was,
why would I reveal it?

So a good boss,
who’s running a clean squad,

Is something you
just toss out like trash?

And I should do this
for you why?

For a clear conscience.

Or whatever else it is you
got on your mind right now.

[ Scoffs ]

I can’t believe
i’m doing this.
What do you need?

I got a nephew in uniform who’s
looking to get into narcotics,

But he’s only got
three years.

Me pulling a contract
puts an iab stink on him.

I know a deputy
commissioner ‐‐

The one who gave me
first‐grade.

I’ll make
the contract for him.

Fraker’s not perfect.

When the doa’s till came up
light 40 grand on friday,

I went through
the original 61s,

And one of the tellers
remembered that our doa,

When she left for the day,

Got in a car
driven by a brunette female.

Brunette female
like victoria golden,

Who we just interviewed
and kicked?
Right.

We got victoria’s address?
Yeah.

Uh, tell the boss?

Forget it.

This vinnie’s dug in.
He wants a lawyer.

That doesn’t give us
a whole hell of a lot.

Baldwin: we got that name that
julian hooked vinnie up with?

No.

I went through vinnie’s wallet.
There weren’t any numbers.

We need to get that
doctor’s name from julian.

Everything all right?

Yeah.

Need me for anything?
Nope.

We locate the doctor
out of the blue now,

It’s not gonna be too hard
for people to figure out

Julian’s the one talking.

I don’t wanna do it either.

Guys have made a career
in the detective bureau

With one good informant.

And we got a doa.

Are we putting
a bull’s‐eye on julian?

We’ll do our best
to protect him.

I’ll get him in.

I gotta take care of something.
I’ll be back in a bit.

Need help?
I got it.

When ms. Golden walked in,
was she alone,

Or was someone with her?

Alone, I think.

Did anyone come in
who didn’t fit?

Not that I saw.

When we knocked before,
the radio was blaring.

How long has it
been like that?

I don’t know.

If there’s a problem,
they call. If not, i’m out.

Unlock the door
and step aside.

[ Dance music blaring ]

[ Sighs ]

Stay here.

[ Music stops ]

[ Sighs ] nothing.

Ortiz: caliber
look the same as mary ann?

Yeah.
[ Sighs ]

Think maybe she lied to us
about knowing the guy?

Captain fraker,
andy sipowicz, 15th squad.

I’d like to talk to you
about lieutenant rodriguez.

I’m due at the borough.

Don’t you think
you’re going too far?

He didn’t report
a bribe attempt.

That happens to be wrong.

It’s not as bad as riding
shotgun for dope dealers.

I don’t know
what you’re talking about.

He only reported that cops were
involved, not you individually.

You got no beef against him.

As far as I know, this city
hasn’t run dry of criminals.

So why don’t you
get back to your command?

How’s your new detective ‐‐
candace pearson?

Word is she’s blooming
under your tutelage.

Must be all that hands‐on
attention.

It’s inspirational,
you taking a new detective

All the way to atlantic city
for some one‐on‐one training.

A friend of mine
spotted you.

It’s too bad
he passed it on,

’Cause it just got you
a world of trouble.

Your wife and kids know
about detective pearson?

You stay the hell away
from my family.

Back off rodriguez.

Then you and your
detective friend

Can romp around all you like

While mom and the kids
sit at home

Ignorant and proud of daddy.

You’re due at the borough.

Good news about your video
equipment down in new orleans ‐‐

It’s on its way back.

How about the videotapes?
Of all the guys
pullin’ their peckers out?

You’re on your own
with that.

Okay.
That’s fair enough.

We’ll get that to you
as soon as it comes in.

We’re gonna need the name
of the doctor

That you set vinnie up with.

Why?

’Cause we need it.

No, no, no, no,
no, no. No way.


I got a little
thermometer in my head

That tells me when
to back off things,

And no, no, i’m not
giving you his name.

Why not?
Why not?!

Why don’t you think?

That could
come back to me, okay?

That can put me
in danger. "Why not?"

This is for
a surveillance on a guy.

Your name will not come up.

Yeah, we don’t need to.
Vinnie’s in custody.
He’s talking.

Then go ask him.

He’s talking only
about his own involvement.

He’s not naming names,

And we need names
for this case to stick.

No!

No!

25 Grand you’re
walking away from.

I gave you vinnie.

And you’re gonna
give us the doctor

Or the 25 grand
is off the table.

Wow...

Was I under
the wrong impression

With concerns to you guys.

Don’t turn this
into some opera, julian.

Our boss has told us
to get the doctor’s name.

Your name will
stay out of it

Because we need you
now and in the future.

I give you that guy’s name,
you’re gonna run down there.

No, we’re not.

Some surveillance maybe.

I want 2 grand ‐‐ cash ‐‐
from crime stoppers

At the end of the day
regardless.

You got it.

Zamia shola, pakistani.

He was a doctor over there.

He works at a dry
cleaner’s here.

Which dry cleaner’s?

Golden glow
on third avenue.

How’s the case going?

We ran victoria golden’s
cell phone

And found a bunch of calls
to one number ‐‐

A guy named
juan baranquia.

Yeah? He got a sheet?

A few drug collars.

We’re gonna
see if he’s home.

Do you work out?

A little.

Do weights?
A little.

It shows.

Good tone.

Look, would you mind not
touching me so much?

I’m just being friendly.

It makes me uncomfortable.

You setting me up
for some kind of beef?

I’d just rather
you didn’t touch me.

’Cause you got no beef.
You try to pursue one,

Just know I got a lot
of friends on this job.

And you should know,
if you touch me again,

I’ll punch you in the face.

[ Clears throat ]

Good then.

Uh, go do what you
got to do.

What’s that all about?

Nothing. We got to go
grab a suspect.

Have a seat.

You perform medical
services, mr. Shola?

I give advice to friends.

I’m not licensed here,
so only advice.

We want you to know
up front that we’re not
looking to make trouble

If you did treat someone today.
We could care less.

But if we find out later
that you lied to us ‐‐

Of course.

Did you treat someone today?

Yes.
For what?

He was sh*t
in the face, very bad.

But he has no insurance,
so I do the best I can.

Where’d you treat him?

His apartment.

Where?

I do not know.

I get a call from a man.
Says he’s coming to pick me up.

He drives.
We talk the whole time.

I do not see
where we’re going.

I’m sorry.

[ Clears throat ]

You were a doctor
in pakistan?

Yes.

Well, i’m gonna call you doctor
then, ’cause you earned it.

Thank you.
You’re welcome.

That’s called
showing someone respect,

And now you’re
gonna do the same,

Or that part about us
not making trouble for you,

That’s gonna go away
real quick.

I did not tell you because I
respect my patient’s wish ‐‐

Where did you
treat the guy?!

Corner of broome and elizabeth,
red building, apartment 3b.

And who was there?

The man who was sh*t,
they called him mikey.

And mikey’s wife paula.
She’s crying the whole time.

I wish I never
got involved in this.

The guy who drove you there,
his name’s vinnie.

Yes, I know.

He’s the one who told us
where to find you.

assh*le.

Not you.

Woman: who is it?

Police. Open up.
Can you hold on?

No. Open the door
or it gets kicked in.

What do you need?
Where’s your husband?

He’s not here.
What’s with the g*n?

Step aside.

[ Gasping ]

Check there.

[ Woman coughing ]

Stay.

Show me your hands,
mikey.

Show me your hands!

[ Crying ]

Your husband’s gonna bleed
to death unless you help him.

Yes, please help him!
We’ve already got
vinnie in custody.

Who else was involved today
besides vinnie and your husband?
I don’t know.

Who is the third guy?
I don’t know what
you’re talking about.

You keep wasting time,
and your husband is gonna die.
Please!

Give us a name.
Help your husband.

Anthony solario.

I’ll call for a bus.

[ Crying ]

[ Knock on door ]

So...i reviewed the tapes,

And even though there
was a blatant infraction,

I decided it’s not
worth my time to pursue.

What does that mean?

You dodged a b*llet.

Did i?

Yeah. But you’re under notice
i’m keeping an eye on you,

And you better start
keeping a clean squad, tony.

That’s it.
You’re dismissed.

I did not rat you out.
I never ratted anybody out.

Somehow we ended up here.

I passed on
general information,

And you were doing
something dirty.

I never knew those guys
were moving dope.

Maybe you should
have asked around.

My partner got me the gig.

He told me not to worry
about it.

Why didn’t you give me a chance
to explain back then

Or at least give me
some warning?

There were no faces
on anyone.

It was just an overheard.

Then maybe you
should’ve asked around.

I was practically a rookie,

How was I supposed
to know better?

Somehow guys figure it out.

I was a decent, honest cop,
and you mowed me down.

Out of the blue i’m forced

To turn on my partner
and his friends,

Guys with 25 years
on the job?

"Forced," meaning they
had a g*n to your head?

Having an answer for everything
gets you to sleep at night,

But deep down, you know you’re
a worse rat than i’ll ever be,

’Cause you do it in secret
and you got no conscience.

Whether or not you
knew you were dirty,

You got dealt a hand
I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

What you are now ‐‐
bitter, petty, vengeful ‐‐

That’s on you.

You call me a rat if that’s
what gets you to sleep at night,

But my conscience is clear.

You’re dismissed,
lieutenant.

Connie: do you know
victoria golden, juan?

Yeah. I seen her at the congo
room, this bar I hang at.

Rita: what about her friend
mary ann canavan?

You seen her there, too?

Yeah, I taught them
to salsa.

When’s the last time
you talked to them?

They come in on saturdays,
so then, I guess.

Not today on the phone?

I answer a question,
and you ask me something else.

That gives off a nasty vibe.

Victoria’s cell phone records

Showed 5 calls
to your apartment today.

That explain the vibe?

Calls to my apartment?

Where were you around 2:00
this afternoon?

I deejay, and I got a party
coming up,

So I was mixing
some fresh stuff.

I had my headphones on,

So she could have called
and I didn’t hear it.

Explain the witness

Who saw you leaving victoria’s
apartment around 2:00.

Witness got the wrong guy.

A lineup will sink you.
You want to get in front now?

Get in front of what?
What did I do?

You k*lled victoria,
for one thing.

She’s dead?

Walking out, you left
a bloody shoe print.

We’ll match it with shoes in
your place or what you got on,

Then that’s it.

I didn’t k*ll her.
Jose did.

He’s lost his mind.

Jose?

Carrera. He was
nailing mary ann.

It was him that got her
to rip off the bank.

He k*lled her
for the money?

He come across this deal
to cop some blow

And turn it around
real quick.

He convinced her
if she took the 40 grand,

That he could triple it
overnight

And she could have it back
in the bank by monday morning,

Only we got ripped off.

She threatened
to turn him in?

Jose hears her talking
about going to the cops.

So without even thinking,
he draws down on her...

So how’s victoria fit in?

She’s with me.

We were all in
on this coke deal.

Now she’s calling me
freaked out, too.

Jose wants to go
to her apartment,

Make sure
she’s staying cool.

She comes walking
up the steps.

Jose’s like,
"where you been?"

Victoria tells him
you cops had her come in,

But she didn’t
give you guys anything.

And jose
didn’t believe her.

He’s lost his mind.

Where we gonna find jose?

In my nightmares
from now on.

How about here on earth?

So, take it
from when I got up?

Yeah, that’s what
I said, anthony.

I got up,
worked in my roof garden.

What else?

Ate some food.

Hot out.

Sure.

We got people who saw you
dropping off mikey

At his apartment.

Apparently, mikey
was sh*t in the face.

Okay, all right.

I helped him out
’cause he was in bad shape.

It doesn’t mean I was involved
in no robbery or nothing.

What robbery?
We didn’t mention a robbery.

I overheard somebody
mention a robbery,

So I didn’t ask
any questions.

I didn’t want
to get involved.

Who was the someone?

This guy. I don’t know.

How long you known mikey?

A long time.

You know a vinnie preoli?

Maybe a little.

Either you
do or you don’t.

I don’t.

You remember musical
chairs, anthony?

’Cause that’s what
we got here.

We got a dead security guard
and the three of you.

Vinnie and mikey
are in custody, too.

And we got one chair available
to the guy who talks first.

He gets the deal.
He gets the breaks.

He gets to go home sooner.

The other two get screwed.

We’re gonna ask you
this just once.

Do you want the deal,
’cause if not,

We’re offering it to vinnie
and then mikey.

This deal might save you
having to go to jail.

I want the deal.
I want the deal.

All right.
Who fired the shotgun?

Vinnie.

Did you have an inside guy
with the armored‐car service?

No. Mikey used to work
for one.

It was his idea.

This your guys’
retirement plan?

No. We all
got the same bookie.

When the rams didn’t
cover in the super bowl...

We’re down the kind of money
you can’t pay off week to week.

Bookie’s connected.

It was either this
or they break our legs.

We’re family guys
caught in a tough spot.

We’re not career
criminals or nothing.

Clearly.

I’ll get julian in here
to get his money.

Lieutenant.

John, how’s it going?
Lieu, you’re back.

The matter was dropped.

Just like that?
I didn’t ask
a lot of questions.

I’m gonna catch up
in my office.

It’s good to be back.

Glad to have you back.

Were you hip to this?

No.

You don’t like women much,
do you, jose?

No hablo inglés.

We’re good for sex,

But when it comes to keeping it
together when a plan goes sour,

We just go to pieces.
Am I right?

No hablo inglés.

So maybe, in spite
of what juan says,

You’re not really
a flipped‐out lunatic.

You just don’t like it
when chicks start to wail.

Especially when what
they’re wailing about

Could send you
to prison for 20 years.

If that’s the story,
jose, lay it out.

Well, let me go
with juan’s side of it.

You’re a psycho

Who turned a naive girl
into a bank robber,

Then k*lled her and her friend
when they tried to back out.

That’ll play, too.

A trigger‐happy lunatic.
Like the sound of that?

[ Sighs ]

That’s the way
it’ll go down, then.

Don’t you touch me!

It’s a miracle.

I want a lawyer!

Can’t face up
to what you did?

Lawyer.

Maricón.

Lawyer now.

We’ll get you a lawyer
when we get to it.

Two grand as promised.

A check from the
armored‐car company ‐‐

That’ll be here
by the end of the week.

And that doctor
that I gave you,
you don’t approach him.

The case is wrapped, julian.
We’re done. Come on.

What?

You lie right to my face.

About what?

That doctor called me
screaming at me

For getting him involved.

You lie right to my face!

We said vinnie.
Your name was never mentioned.

Vinnie and the doctor have
a conversation one day,

And they share stories...

When the doctor visits vinnie
in jail? Don’t worry.

I worry
about getting whacked.

That’s something
I worry about.

Nothing’s gonna happen.

I’ll be back to get
my check.

After that, lose my number.

1, 2, 3, 4.
Nice. 1, 2, 3, 4.

There you go, john!

Quicker!
1, 2 On the right.

1, 2 On the right.
Quicker.

Quicker!

All right. Come on.

I can’t believe
i’m doing this.

Rita: hey!

I figured you guys
might get hungry.

That’s not part
of the diet plan, rita.

You can leave it.
It’ll get eaten.

Let him have a slice.

Maybe later.
If he earns it.

I thought these guys
were your friends.

I was fooled.

You treat him right
or deal with me.

He’ll live.
Don’t worry.

I’ll see you tomorrow.

Thanks for bringing that by.

No problem.

That was nice of her.

Yeah.

Come on.

All right!

1, 2, 3.

1, 2, 3, 4
On the right.

Come on. 1, 2, 3.

1, 2 On the right.

There you go.

So I have coffee with you
in the morning,

By the afternoon,
i’m back at my desk.

Some coincidence.

Guess so.

Did you get me
out of this jackpot?

It’s not a jackpot unless you
do something wrong.

I never had a problem
doing people favors,

But people doing them for me,
I don’t ask for that.

You didn’t.

This morning was just
to satisfy your curiosity?

You didn’t make any calls
or go see anyone?

You’re back where
you’re supposed to be.

Don’t go poking it
with a stick.

I appreciate it.

Truly.
