11x08 - And the Wenner Is...

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "nypd blue"...

When I was 17, I was diagnosed
as manic‐depressive.

The problem is the medications
k*ll my sex drive.

And that's why you've been
acting the way you were?

I'm gonna go back on
my medication.

Lucy wenner ‐‐ she got jumped
getting on the elevator.

Time bar matchbook was down the
stairs about half a flight.

And the blue‐and‐white rope?

In a garbage can
on the ground floor.

There was someone else.

There was another man?

Standing in the doorway.

He said,
"there's someone coming,"

And the man who was attacking me
let me go.

The last thing I heard was,
"jimmy is gonna be pissed."

These girls dying is on you.
You're no good at your job.

We'd be doing a hell of a lot
better at it

If you would quit whining
and let us rule you out

Instead of stonewalling
and wasting another day!

I feel terrible that I caused
trouble between you and andy.

It wasn't fair,
you not having the full story.

I have a lump in my breast,

And I'm going in
for the biopsy right now.

I was wondering if you
could help me through it.

What's up?

We, um...

We have some news.

Okay.

Well, basically,

And per what we talked about
a few months ago ‐‐

The wedding's back on.

Great.

And like last time,
I don't know anything about it.

We appreciate that, boss.

And just in case there
isn't enough on your plate,

There is this other thing,
and we're not trying to ‐‐

She's pregnant.

That's great!

Congratulations.

Thanks.

We know this isn't the best time
to lay this on you.

Oh, don't worry about that.
How far along are you?

Uh, 10 weeks ‐‐

We wanted to let you know
right away,

'Cause obviously this is
gonna change things.

Yeah, this puts you
behind a desk.

I know.

You can talk to complainants,

But dealing with suspects
and perps ‐‐ that's out.

Going to crime scenes, too.

Yeah.

If it's okay with you,

We'd like to hold off informing
the job she's pregnant

Till she's ready
for maternity leave.

Should be
a couple of months.

I'm okay with that.

Let me know if there's
anything else I can do.

We appreciate you
being okay with this.

The best news I've heard
in a long time.

Lieutenant rodriguez.

So...we take everyone aside
and tell them individually?

The wedding's back on,
tonight at our place.

That's great.

Thanks.

Congratulations, you guys.

What time?
8:00.

The boss knows about it,
but he doesn't know about it,

So we keep it low‐key.

John, you still got
that preacher's license
you got off the internet?

Of course.

And you can have a routine
ready by 8:00?

Sure.

But no stand‐up, sit‐down,
hour‐long thing.

Just nice and simple.

Absolutely.

But do you have any favorite
psalms or poems

You'd like me to incl‐‐
john, nice and simple.

Okay.

We, uh, kind of had to move
the date up a little.

That's great.
Congratulations.

We have a female d.o.a.,
11Th street and 2nd avenue.

From the description
of the crime scene,

Sounds like our guy again.

Ortiz: I'll get the car.

I'm still getting
over this stomach flu.

Do you mind
if I sit this one out?

No problem.

I'll page greg and baldwin.

If there's a uniform chief
who wants to bite my head off

'Cause we haven't solved this
fast enough,

Tell him to call me here.

Remember, nice and simple.

Food, flowers, decorations?

I was gonna make some calls.

I can take care of it.

John...you're doing enough.

Detective, please don't
deprive me of this.

Go!

Linda pascal ‐‐

Strangled with
a blue‐and‐white clothesline.

Head injury.

Found a matchbook
from the time bar.

It's our guy.

How'd the job come in?

Her sister came by when pascal
missed a breakfast date.

Where's the sister now?

With a female officer ‐‐
pretty distraught.

Any sign of forced entry?

No, but found an i. D. Badge
from jefferson memorial.

Says she's a nurse there.

That's where your doctor friend
works, isn't it?

Yeah.

Might be worth a call.

We'll start the canvass
on the top floor

And work our way down.

Let's secure the building.

Make sure nobody leaves
till they talk to us.

Listen, diane,
we got this covered.

You don't need
to be here today.

I'm okay.

Why don't you take the day,

Deal with what you got
to deal with?

If I'm not here,
I'm sitting at home,

Waiting for the phone
to ring.

I need to work.

I'll go talk
to the d. O. A.'S sister.

I left a message for jen.

It's the fourth one.
They're getting closer together.

Maybe he screwed up this time.
Maybe this is it.

Let's go.

M.e. Says she was k*lled between
8:00 and 10:00 last night,

And this guy
left his usual calling cards.

Crime scene's
still processing.

Was she sh*t up
with ketamine?

They found an injection mark
on her arm.

M.e.'S still running tests.

Anything off the canvass?

Neighbors say the d.o.a.
Kept to herself.

Nobody saw anybody
come or go.

Greg and baldwin
are still down there.

According to the sister, the
d. O. A. Liked to hit the bars.

Time bar was
her particular favorite.

And junior's got a contact
at the hospital

Where the d. O. A. Worked.

Still waiting
for a call back.

I got a lot of people
wanting updates.

Anything solid I can tell them
other than background info?

Nothing past
what we just gave you.

I may have something.
It's a long sh*t, though.

I'll take whatever you got.

Since there's no sign of forced
entry at the crime scenes,

Maybe the k*ller's getting in
by posing as somebody official.

So I got i. A. B. To fax
a list of guys

With priors for criminal
impersonation.

Any names jump out?
One ‐‐ ray gerson.

He pretends to be a deliveryman,
says it's c. O. D.,

When they go for their
checkbook,

He grabs a purse or whatever
he can and runs.

That's a long ways
from being a serial k*ller.

He got a parking ticket a block
from the crime scene

The night of the third m*rder.

All right,
we'll go talk to him.

Hi, john.

Dr. Devlin, how are you?

I'm fine.

Hey.

I was a couple blocks away
when I got your message.

So I dropped by.
I hope that's all right.

Yeah, yeah.
Why don't you come on back?

This is okay, right?

I'm not interrupting
anything?

No, that's fine.
How you feeling?

Better. Back on track.

That's great.

So we have another victim
in the serial‐k*ller case

This morning ‐‐ a woman by
the name of linda pascal.

I was just calling to see
if that name rang a bell.

No. Should it?

She's a nurse
at your hospital.

Oh, my god.
What department?

Ob/gyn.

I don't know her.

You should talk to the
night nurse supervisor,

Delores flynn.

She's been on the floor 20 years
and knows everybody.

Just call the main number
of the hospital.

I will.

I know this isn't the best time
to have this discussion,

But I'm sorry I didn't tell you
the truth about my condition.

I'm just glad
you're feeling better.

It was the stupidest thing
I could do, but...

I was afraid if I told you,
I'd scare you off.

You could have trusted me.

I know that now.

And I want you to know
I'm seeing my shrink again.

Plus, I'm back on my meds.

That's good for you, jen.

It'd be a lot easier

If I knew you were gonna be
there at the other end.

You don't have
to worry about that.

So we can start over?

Sure, jen. But the important
thing right now

Is for you to take care
of yourself.

I will.

Okay.

I got to get going, though.

Okay.

[ Sighs ]

Ray gerson?
Police, open up.

Come on, ray.

I don't hear anything.

Ma'am?

Hello.

Do you know the guy
who lives in this apartment?

One more time.

Do you know who lives here?!

Yeah.

Have you seen him today?

Detective gerson?
I saw him this morning.

Detectivegerson?

That's right.
He's very busy.

He's been looking
for that serial k*ller.

I'm detective sipowicz.
This is detective clark.

Did he ever show you
something like this,

Or did he just say
he was a cop?

No, I've seen his badge.

I'll call in.

Is something the matter?

You remember what gerson
was wearing this morning?

One more time.

What was he wearing?!

A suit, just like you.
What's going on?

Ma'am, we need to talk to this
guy about a police matter.

So we're gonna sit outside
and wait for him.

If you see him before we do,

Don't tell him you talked
to the police.

You call this number
as soon as possible, all right?

Are you saying that detective
gerson isn't a detective?

That's what we're saying.

Andy, we're set.

Should I be worried?

Just do what I told you,
and you'll be fine.

Well, if he's not a detective,
then why does he carry a g*n?

You're sure about that?

Yeah, he showed it to me.

I've been reading this thing
on lewis and clark

And how they used to have the
most backward‐ass medicine.

Although, I mean,
it was cutting edge back then.

They would bleed people,
give them diuretics.

And lewis ‐‐ this guy
was manic‐depressive.

I guess he lost it a little
in the rocky mountains.

And his crew never heard
of manic depression,

Let alone
knew how to treat it.

Can you imagine being out
in the middle of nowhere

And have to deal with that?

Where is this coming from?

Is this the "fun fact" hour?

I've just been doing
some reading lately.

Is that what happens
when you date a doctor?

[ Chuckles ] yeah.
Something like that.

[ Clears throat ]

So, listen, uh,
connie's pregnant.

Get out.

2 1/2 Months.

You stud.

Yeah, okay.

[ Laughs ] you stud!

All right, you go on,

Take as long as you need to get
this out of your system.

When did you find out?
Last night.

And if you'd asked me
yesterday,

I'd have said the only way
connie and me would have a baby

Would be with a manger,
a virgin,

And three guys in turbans.

Is it a boy or a girl?

Don't know yet.

Is connie
gonna keep working?

Yeah, as long as she can,

Which is one reason why we want
to keep this tight, okay?

Yeah, no problem.
Have you told theo?

[ Chuckles ]

Yeah, he wants to name it
"dumbledore."

Who else knows?

Nobody, really.

We thought we'd make
an announcement tonight,

Before the ceremony.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Your doctor friend coming?

No, she's working.

Everything okay there?

Yeah, fine.

Is that our guy?

That's him.

All right.

Raymond gerson.

No, sorry.

All right, hold on.
One more time.

You guys detectives?

Yeah, real detectives.

Okay, yeah, I'm ray gerson.

You had to think
about it?

I got an ex‐girlfriend who took
the breakup kind of hard.

And her brother's
been trying to ‐‐
shut up.

Whoa! Hey, I got civil ri‐‐
whoa!

I got civil rights here,
you know.

What's this? You're passing
yourself off as a cop?

You kidding me?
That's illegal.

You got a g*n
on you?
No.

g*n!

Toy g*n, toy g*n.

Yeah, it's fake.

Put your hands
on the wall here.

Oh! Oh!

Please! Please, officer,
don't hurt me!

Get up, you big baby.

Hey, do you see this!?
Police brutality!

I'll show you police brutality,
you don't get on your feet.

I have an explanation
for the badge and fake g*n.

Can't wait to hear it.

I'm not talking to this man.
He's violent!

Move your ass.

No, I can assure you ‐‐

I'm publicly requesting
a civilian complaint form!

I'm not talking to this man.

He physically assaulted me,
and he's verbally abusive.

What's going on here?

I'm not trying to start
any trouble, but this guy ‐‐

Ray gerson ‐‐ found him with
a fake g*n and a shield.

Both easily explained

And totally unworthy of the
physical abuse I sustained.

He fell when we grabbed him.
Quit playing it up.

I can't hear you, and
I'm not talking to you!

Get him up to the pokey.
Sure thing, lieutenant.

This is all a smokescreen

To avoid answering about
impersonating a cop.

It sounds like
there's bad blood,

So sit out the interview.
John, you and diane take it.

What are you talking about?

I was just reassuring
the inspector

How we're going by the book
on this case.

Everybody here heard him refuse
to talk to you.

Since when do the perps
dictate who they talk to?

Let it go, andy.
That's it.

Come on.

Thanks.

I'm telling you,
if that goon comes in here ‐‐

The detective
won't be coming in.

He assaulted me!
No, he didn't.

But you don't want him in here,
so he's not.

I think my neck
is stiffening up.

Quit tap‐dancing and get
to the fake badge and g*n.

I have a very sick nephew.
I visit him whenever I can.

He loves to play cops
and robbers.

I forgot to take off my toy g*n
and badge when I left.

You play cops and robbers with
your elderly neighbor, too?

Mrs. Kuzmenko?
That's right.

She saw your g*n and badge

And said that you were calling
yourself detective.

That woman is so pickled
in vodka,

She doesn't know her way
from the mailbox.

Now, look, I may have
shown her the toys,

But I never called
myself that.

You can't believe
what she says.

Well, ray, we believe her.

Add that to your
previous collars

For criminal impersonation,

And we're gonna violate
your parole

Unless you start telling
the truth.

Okay, the truth ‐‐
here it is right now.

Knock us out, ray.

I'm a pleaser, which comes
from having low self‐esteem.

Plus,
I'm a frustrated actor.

Now you put that
all together,

And you get a guy
who likes to perform.

Perform robberies,

Like you were doing in
your deliveryman outfit?

That was when I was
abusing barbiturates

And before
I got into therapy,

Which is when I cracked open
all this crazy behavior.

How long you been doing
the fake detective act?

A couple of months.

And only for friends
and family.

Quit looking at me
all the time, ray.

I think you're more full
of bullshit than he does.

Okay.

A couple of months,
as a gag.

Now I do skits
and improvisations.

Now this may sound
strange to you,

But it puts a smile
on my nephew's face,

And that is worth
the world to me.

That's touching.

Where were you between 8:00
and 10:00 last night?

At home,
learning magic card stuff.

Can anybody confirm this?

Why would they need to?
So that's a no.

What were you doing at 12th and
avenue "c" three nights ago?

I wasn't there.

You got a parking ticket.

Three nights ago?

My car was in the shop.
My fuel pump gave out.

That explains the ticket how?

Well, isn't it obvious?

After they told me my car
wasn't ready,

Those assholes at the garage

Must have taken it
for a joyride,

Which explains the extra
30 miles on my odometer.

Those bandits.

What garage was this?

3Rd and avenue "b" ‐‐
the one with the arabs?

I don't know.
Maybe it was 2nd and "b."

I'm not good
with addresses.

You got a receipt?

From those people?
They barely speak english.

Been to brooklyn recently,
ray?

Brooklyn?
Uh, not in the last six months.

No, I got no reason
to go there.

Come on, guys.
What is this about?

Maybe you heard we're looking
into some killings ‐‐

Young women who've been r*ped
and strangled.

That serial k*ller?

You're looking at me
for that?

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

I‐i don't know anything
about that.

I'm a harmless clown.

Mm‐hmm.

You're not gonna mind
sticking around, then,

While we check out
your stories?

I would prefer not to.

We'll get you a deck of cards ‐‐
practice your tricks.

Let's go.

What's your take
on this guy?

We'll know more when
we check his stories.

You run his metro card?

Yeah, mta's faxing over
where he's used it.

We got to find out
if this guy's got a nephew.

I was just on
with his parole officer.
I'll call him back.

I called lucy wenner.
She's on her way in to see
if she can i. D. Gerson.

Did lucy see a badge
when she was att*cked?

She didn't mention that.

I just got off the phone
with the fbi.

They're sending over guys

From their behavioral sciences
unit in quantico.

Profilers.

They're gonna need copies

Of your vouchers, your fives,
and lab reports.

We're gonna be errand boys
for these nitwits

So they can say we're looking
for a white male over 30
with anger issues.

Just make it happen.

You can't let gerson
work you

With his mealymouth
"poor me" act.

I'm hip to it. We're just
checking his stories out.

This guy's a dog.
He only respects the leash.

Real quick ‐‐
garden roses or peonies?

I can get both at cost.

We'll do both...
But heavy on the roses.

How's she doing?

Putting on a good face.

[ Door opens ]

Hey. You getting nervous?

I'm all right, actually.

I mean, it's not like 500 guests
at st. Patrick's cathedral.

Yeah. When I got married,
it was city hall.

Still had butterflies,
though.

Oh, I'm sure I will, too.

I hope you're gonna be there.

I wouldn't miss it
for the world.

We're sorry
for the short notice.

It's just the marriage license
was about to expire,

And, I don't know, this case
seems like it may never clear.

And you're pregnant, right?

Did andy tell you?
Was it that obvious?

Just kind of picked up
on some signs.

'Cause I wasn't gonna say
anything.

Why wouldn't you?

Connie, you don't have to hold
back your good news

Because of what
I'm going through.

Did you get
the biopsy results yet?

No.

Maybe today.

Diane, this isn't the timing
I would have chosen.

The timing's great.

You and andy have so much
to look forward to.

And being around that keeps my
mind busy with something good.

[ Knock on door ]

Yeah, come in.

Hey, we're going back
at gerson.

Nothing he said cleared.

I'll be right there.

I'm so happy for you,

So don't hold back
around me, okay?

Okay.

So, ray,
what's your nephew's name?

Uh, billy.

Billy.

How old's billy?
Five.

So billy the sick,
little 5‐year‐old kid?

That's right.

Ow!

The next lie you make,
it won't be a slap.

It'll be a fist.
I'm not lying!

We talked to your p.o.
You got no brothers or sisters.

That rules out nephews.

I never said he was
my biological nephew.

Look, he's the son
of a dear friend.

I call him my nephew.
You ever hear of that before?

We've heard of guys lying
through their teeth.

We ran your metro card.

We know every subway and bus
you've taken,

And contrary
to you telling us

You haven't been in brooklyn
in six months,

We know you got on the subway
at smith and ninth in brooklyn

Three weeks ago, 18 hours
after the first m*rder.

Okay, you're right.
I was in brooklyn.

The fog clears.

What happened was,
I was driving through brooklyn

When that bucket‐of‐bolts car
of mine broke down,

Which is why I got
on the subway.

My confusion is
I wasn't going to brooklyn.

I was coming from there,

Which is a perfectly
understandable mistake,

And it doesn't implicate me
in any of these murders.

I don't think you appreciate
the trouble you're in.

Ma'am, I ‐‐
shut up.

All anybody wants is for these
killings to stop,

And they don't care
how we do it.

So if we carry your body out of
this station house on a slab,

They'll throw us a parade,
do you get that?

You got the wrong guy.

We have an eyewitness
coming in for a lineup.

You've got till then
to come clean.

After that, there's no deal.

I've been totally honest
with you.

You've lied about everything.

There's no little billy
you do skits for.

Do you know how hard it is
to admit you're a loser?

I have no job.

The only satisfaction I get is
pretending to be other people.

Did you use your badge to get
inside these girls' apartments?

No.

I mean, I've shown the badge
in the park to girls

So that maybe they would
go out with me,

But I never abused it, and I
certainly didn't k*ll anyone.

What were you doing in brooklyn
a couple weeks ago?

I was looking for
a record store,

But my car broke down
before I got there.

Ray, what were you doing
there?

I just told you.

All right.

Well, you're waiting in there
until the lineup.

Go. Come on.

Last chance ‐‐
anything you want to say?

I think I've told you quite
a bit,

But you won't listen to me.

So there we are.

Lucy, when I lift the shade,

There will be six men
in the next room.

They can't see or hear you.

Tell us if any of them is
the man who att*cked you.

Take as much time
as you need.

There's no rush.

Okay.

I don't recognize
any of them.

You sure?

He's not there.

He's not there.

Okay.

I don't understand.
I thought you had him.

This may take some time.

So this maniac
is still out there?!

Oh, that's ‐‐
that's great.

Can we please just get out
of this room?

Lucy...

It's gonna be
all right, lucy.

Then why me?

Just because I went to time bar
for five minutes?

I haven't slept
since the att*ck.

I keep thinking I hear people
breaking into my apartment.

We can get you in touch
with counselors.

I don't need counseling.

I need you
to find this guy!

We're doing everything we can
to solve the case.

You have to believe that.

Well, is it true
what the papers are saying,

That this is all related
to the time bar?

Possibly. We're not sure.


Let's get you back
to your apartment.

No, I'm fine. Just spend
your time finding this guy.

Call us when you get home.

[ Sighs ]

Any of the other impersonators
worth looking at?

No, gerson
was the only hit.

What if the guy we're looking
for is not an impersonator?

Meaning what?

Maybe he's not pretending
to be a cop,

But he actually is a cop.

Come on, greg.

It might explain
why he's so elusive.

Yeah, we'll just check
that file under cops who
used to be sex offenders.

I'm just floating an idea.

So gerson's a collar
regardless.

We're gonna violate his parole
for impersonating a cop.

Anything come up about gerson
working under an alias?

No. Why?

I ran a check on him
for out‐of‐state collars.

He was busted for burglary
in new jersey

Under the name
raymond shannon.

How long ago?

Six years.

The thing is he was arrested

With another guy
named anthony powell.

Powell's got a long sheet for
sex crimes ‐‐ two r*pe arrests.

He lives in battery park.

When did powell get out?
Paroled seven months ago.

Boss, you got to let me
back in there.

No way.

Don't worry.
I'll handle it.

John, you can't let this guy
work you.

Whoa. I'm not!

Have you been watching
a different interview?

Now that we know
he's a complete liar,
when you go back in there ‐‐

Andy, I got it.

We should call lucy,

Get her back in to look
at powell's picture.

I'll take care of it.

Don't worry.
He'll be fine.

[ Clears throat ]

Josh, good‐bye.

Good‐bye.

May I leave now,

Because I didn't get picked out
since I didn't do anything.

You ever take a collar
in new jersey?
Never.

Under the name
ray shannon?!

Okay, again,
that was before therapy,

Which is a time in my life
I've completely blocked out.

If the only thing that will
make you tell the truth

Is physical pain,
I'll provide it.

And there's no witnesses in
here, nobody to squawk to.

Do you understand me?
Yeah.

Anthony powell ‐‐
when did you see him last?

Not since we got locked up
together.

We got a witness says it's two
guys doing these r*pe‐murders.

I haven't seen tony
in I don't even know how long.

You got no history
of sex crimes. Tony does.

That tells us
you were the lookout.

Not in a million years would
I do something like that.

Then what was your car doing
near the crime scene

Three nights ago when that girl
was m*rder*d?!

I heard about it
on my police scanner,

So I went there to rubberneck,
to feel important.

I just talked to people
on the street.

What do you know
about powell?

I did a couple of minor jobs
with him.

But he was too mean
for my taste.

I haven't seen him since we
got popped for that burglary.

You know about him doing r*pes
back then?

That was the mean part
about him.

He kept talking about stepping
it up, hurting a girl,

Maybe doing the things
you're talking about.

If we catch you in one more lie,
you're done.

Sir, I am just
a harmless ‐‐
shut up!

Did you get ahold
of lucy?

No answer, and she never called
in when she got home.

There could be a couple
of explanations for that.

I sent a radio car
to check on her.

Nobody answered
when they knocked.

They talked to a neighbor.
She said lucy didn't come home.

We'll tell medavoy and jones
to find this tony powell.

Then we'll head to lucy's,
make sure she's okay.

Or do you want me to stay here
and push papers?

Just go.

Lucy?

Open it.

You got a warrant?

Just open it.

All right, step back.

Lucy?

Lucy?

Nothing.

Bedroom's locked.

Lucy! You in there?

What do you think?

I got a bad feeling.

Let's take the door.

What the hell is this?

This girl here ‐‐ she's
my d. O. A. From brooklyn.

First one.

You sure?
Pam riegert.

And her name's
written on the back.

This girl's
from this morning.

The nurse?

Yeah, linda pascal.

This is like
a surveillance log.

Dates and times when women
left the time bar,

Where they walked to.

Guys.

I'll call
the squad.
Yeah.

We found some
blue‐and‐white clothesline
in one of her drawers.

And some pills in the kitchen ‐‐
probably ketamine.

She has pictures?

Looks like she hung out
in front of the time bar,

Took photos of the women,
then followed them home.

Why would she stage her own
att*ck ‐‐ attention?
Don't know.

So the r*pe aspect ‐‐ was she
working with a male accomplice?

We'll know when we find her.

There's a statewide alert out
for her.

So she pointed it to the
time bar intentionally?

Guys, looks like
a hit list here.

All four victims,
plus two others.

Does it list the addresses
of the last two?
Yeah.

All right, greg, baldwin,
and rita, you take one.

You guys take the other.
Let's go.

Unbelievable.

Donna?

I'll get the super.

Yes?

Donna halenbeck?

That's right.

Can we come in and talk
to you a minute?

I have company.

Who?

A woman from
the fireman's charity.

Is there a problem?

We need to talk to her.

Excuse me.

Hello.

What is going on?
Stay back.

We're having tea.

Keep your hands
where we can see them.

What's in here?
Nothing.

Hey, hey, hey.
Sit back!

What is going on here?

Oh, my god.

Get on your feet.

Get up.
Come on.

Russell: pam riegert,
three weeks ago in brooklyn.

Why'd you pick her?

Angela pratt?

Gretchen dorn?

We know you k*lled
these women.

Help us understand why.

They all went
to the time bar.

You photographed them
leaving.

You followed them home.

Lucy, we know all this.

There's no use
keeping quiet.

All that's gonna do
is make you unsympathetic

To us, to the judge,
everybody.

You don't know what it's like to
be called a no‐tit pig, do you?

Who called you that?

James carlin.

Jimmy.

When?

I applied to be a waitress
at the time bar

Six months ago.

I was talking to the manager
when jimmy came up and said,

Like I wasn't even there,

"Alex, you better not hire
this no‐tit pig."

So all this

Was about getting back at carlin
for insulting you?

I have been angry before.

But when that happened,
I found myself getting so angry.

It didn't stop.

Why'd you fake
your own att*ck?

Because!!

The papers weren't mentioning
james carlin by name.

There was even an editorial
cautioning the public

Against associating the time bar
with the murders.

So you made up that you heard
one of your attackers say,

"Jimmy's gonna be pissed,"

So that we'd look at carlin
for being behind this.

That is correct.

How'd you pick
your victims?

They frequented
the time bar.

They helped make jimmy
a wealthy man.

They basically gave him
the mandate

To act like
an insensitive anus.

And these women ‐‐

You got inside their apartment
each time

By saying you were from
a charity?

I would like it known
that the women didn't
experience the r*pes.

I knocked them on the head,
sedated them,

Then inserted the dildo
with the condom on it.

Then strangled them.

No pain.

This was the only way
you thought

To get back
at james carlin?

It was the best way.

I wanted to ruin him.

Your point was made.
Why'd you keep k*lling women?

Lucy, I once interviewed a guy
who k*lled six women.

He said it was because
his mother was a drug addict.

So he k*lled drug addicts.

But after his first victim,

It stopped being about the fact
that they were addicts,

And it became more about
the rush he got,

The sense of power
and control.

He said that was the first time
in his life

That he felt that way.

Lucy, is that why you k*lled
linda pascal this morning,

And you were planning
on k*lling donna halenbeck?

You think you are so smart,
don't you?

So do you think
she'll stand trial?

Honestly, she won't make
the competency hearing.

So five years
in a mental hospital?

She'll be there
the rest of her life.

That was the mayor's office.
He sends his congratulations.

Good work, everybody.

Team. Did it as a team.

It was good working
with you, diane.

I appreciate your help.

Thanks, lieu.

Head down to mac's?
I'll buy the first round.

[ Clears throat ]

Oh, yeah, your thing ‐‐

That's tonight?
Yeah.

Which I don't know
anything about, so...

It's just gonna be us.

It's not like anybody's gonna
rat on you.

I appreciate that,
but I need to maintain

A certain level of deniability
with the department.

Okay.

You and connie
have my best wishes.

8:00, Guys.

See you there.

I'm gonna stop by the time bar,
break the news to carlin.

Yeah, he deserves
that much.

Want somebody to take
a ride with you?

I'm good. Thanks.

I'm gonna help john
set up.

I'm right behind you.

Listen, uh...

I‐i know you're a nondrinker,
andy. I respect that.

Don't worry, medavoy.
There's gonna be booze.

Well, not only is the marriage
to be celebrated,

But the end of a long case.

Plus, I'll be taking a cab.

Medavoy, quick ‐‐ what?

I may get hammered.

Fine. Go nuts.

See you there.

Yeah...partner.

Did a great job
breaking him in.

He's the real deal.

Yeah, he'll be all right.

See you at 8:00.

Who's dead now?

No one.

We got the person
who's behind the murders.

Who?

Her name's lucy wenner.

A girl r*pist?
She made them look
like r*pes

So we'd think the k*ller
was a man.

She also planted the matchbooks
to point to your bar.

She's got a beef
against me?

You turned her down
for a waitress job.

So you're telling me
my life got ruined

Because I wouldn't hire
some bitch to carry drinks?

She's pretty imbalanced.

Okay. So...what?

You here for a pat
on the back?

I'm just letting you know
the case is closed.

Yeah, you mean like my bar,
this hotel.

'Cause the bank
called my loan,

One of the things
I was dealing with

While you were accusing me
of being involved in this.

We had to throw a wide net.

That some kind of an apology?

I came here as a courtesy,
mr. Carlin.

Then cheers.

Congratulations.

[ Cell phone rings ]

This is diane.

Hi, dr. Boyd.

You happy?

Yeah.

You excited?

Yeah!

All right, now let's review
the duties of the best man.

I give you the ring
when you ask for it.

And until then, where does
the ring stay?

In my pocket.

Good. Oh! There's one other
thing ‐‐ very important.

Okay.

You're in charge
of the bachelor party.

What's that?

You have to rent a motor home
and drive me and my buddies

To ft. Lauderdale
for the weekend.

Dad!

Detective,
if I could have a minute.

All right, save me a spot
in front, huh?

It's about the vows.
There are a lot of options.

Nothing about
her obeying me,

'Cause I'll never hear
the end of that.

Of course not.

Other than that,
let's keep it nice and simple,

Like we talked about, hmm?

Okay, but do you want to "love,
honor, cherish,"

"Love, respect, and cherish,"
"love, honor, and comfort" ‐‐

John,
you're making me nervous.

It's just that ‐‐

The first one ‐‐ it's fine.

Anything about
connie expecting?

We already told everybody, okay?
Just nice and simple.

Got it!

We ready?

What?

You look amazing.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]

So do you.

Andy, connie,
sorry I'm late.

How'd it go with carlin?

Fine.
I heard from the doctor.

Biopsy came back negative.
I'm clear.

Oh, diane!

This is a good night.

[ Clears throat ]

Uh, I don't mean
to interrupt,

But irvin's about
to pass out in there.

All right.

Friends, family,
loved ones ‐‐

John, we got
six people here.

Sorry.

"When love alights upon
a famished dove..."

I'm sorry.
I skipped a line.

[ Snickering ]

"When love alights upon
a famished heart" ‐‐

Nothing fancy, john.

Okay.

Well...perhaps I should
just say a few words

About andy and connie.

When I first met detective
sipowicz many years ago,

I thought if ever two people
wouldn't get along,

It would be us.

But we did, and we have.

And I don't know
if I've ever told you

How much your friendship
means to me.

And when I met
detective mcdowell,

I don't mean to brag,

But I knew she
and detective sipowicz

Would be a perfect match.

Come on!

It's true.

It's in my diary
if you want to check.

I could tell they had

The similarities
to attract each other,

But also the different strengths
to complement.

In a way, andy and connie
are like all of us here.

We come from very different
backgrounds,

And who knows if,
under different circumstances,

We would be
in each other's lives.

But this job we have...

...brought us together
as a family.

For some of us,
it's our only family.

And it's something
that cannot be broken.

That's nice, john.

Detective sipowicz,
do you have the ring?

Please place the ring
on connie's finger.

Andy sipowicz,
do you take connie mcdowell

To be your lawful wedded wife,

To have and to hold
in sickness and in health

Till death do you part?

I do.
