Previously on "nypd blue"...
Good morning.
Ouch.
I had a little trouble
at mcgowan's last night.
Sipowicz:
says a guy grabbed her,
Pulled her into the alley,
started punching.
Do you know him?
No, I've never
seen him before.
Lucy welker is supposed
to testify for me this afternoon
In a felony‐m*rder case.
What's the case?
It's the
aberdeen warehouse fire.
Is that
with this korensky guy?
Right.
Torched one of his warehouses
for the insurance.
Who assaulted you
this morning?
I've seen him
around the office.
He told me that
if I testified against simon,
[ Sobbing ]
he'd cut my throat.
If I could
just explain...
I received
an anonymous allegation
That you were working
for mcgowan's.
I've confirmed
that allegation.
As a result, I've referred
the matter to internal affairs.
You're gonna send me
to them?
Michael's dad has filed
a petition with the court.
He's requested a hearing
to modify the placement order.
Craig k*lled michael's mother.
He nearly k*lled his aunt.
You can't tell me the
courts are gonna consider
giving michael to him.
Pending psychological
evaluations of the parties,
I am granting petitioner
one supervised visit a week.
[ Knock on door ]
yeah?
Morning, andy.
Morning.
What do you got there?
Nothing.
That looked like
the patrol guide.
Yeah.
What are you
looking up?
I'm checking up
on something.
What is it?
I'm studying
for the sergeant's exam.
You are?
Just to see how I do.
Why?
All these guys run around here
like they got something on you
'Cause they hit the books
for a couple of weeks.
I figure I'd take
a cr*ck at it.
Good for you.
Yeah.
Listen...how you doing
with your thing?
Eh, we'll see.
You hear
from the trustee yet?
I'm meeting with him
later today.
I'll hear him out,
weigh my options.
Right.
You're on your way up.
I'm on my way down.
You don't know
what's gonna happen.
Yeah, well,
regardless of what happens,
I ain't exactly
glory‐bound.
You're a good cop,
medavoy.
Nobody can take that away
from you.
Sergeant sipowicz...
I like that.
[ Knock on door ]
Lieutenant,
I wanted to ask
About taking off
a little early today.
I have family court
with my foster son.
What's going on?
It's a final‐custody
determination.
When do you need
to leave?
2:30.
It's your time.
Do what you gotta do.
Is there an end in sight
to this thing?
Hopefully.
I hope it works out.
Yeah, me, too.
Could I speak to you
for a second, boss?
Come in.
Uh, heh...
I‐i‐i've been doing
some soul‐searching
Off the things you said
regarding my working in the bar,
And you were right.
I definitely didn't take it
seriously enough.
There are good reasons
for the rule against it.
P.s. ‐‐ I get it.
What i‐‐ what I'm wondering
in light of that
Is if it's really necessary
to stay
With this kind
of punishment.
Unfortunately,
it is.
I can't afford
a 30‐day rip, boss.
I understand
you're gonna feel it, medavoy.
That's the point.
I can't fix the prevailing
attitudes in this squad
If the only kinds of
disciplinary measures I impose
Are the ones
that can be comfortably ignored.
Lieutenant, my prevailing
attitude is fixed.
It's already fixed.
I'm sorry.
Mr. Foreman, have you followed
my instructions
To reconsider
each other's opinions?
We have,
your honor.
Have you attempted
to re‐examine your views?
We have.
Do you remain
at an impasse?
We do.
Is it your opinion
that further deliberation
Will not yield a verdict?
It is.
Counsel, approach.
Munson:
judge, the people believe
in the strongest possible terms
That the jury
should continue deliberating.
It's been a week,
counselor.
Given current circumstances,
we don't believe
That is sufficient
to declare a mistrial.
I'm curious
what miss munson's referring to
As "current circumstances."
You could start
with the fact
That our chief witness
was assaulted.
There is no evidence linking
my client to this as*ault.
I resent miss munson's implying
anything to the contrary.
This witness wouldn't testify
at the second trial?
Honestly, I don't know
how much more she can endure.
Well, if it's a matter
of endurance, miss munson,
I think your office, with the
new york city police department,
Should be able to do
whatever is necessary
To keep her safe
and available.
Step back.
Given what I believe
To be the futility
of further deliberations,
I am, indeed, declaring
a mistrial.
Your honor,
at this time,
The defense respectfully makes
an application
For bail to be set.
The people oppose.
My client has been incarcerated
for six months.
He has roots
in the community.
Under no definition of the term
does he represent a flight risk.
You're making this
Based on length
of pre‐trial incarceration?
That's correct,
your honor.
Mr. Korensky's entitled
to a speedy trial.
He's been denied
the companionship
Of his wife
and children.
The man is on trial
for felony m*rder.
His family and his business
represent significant roots
In the community.
He also has significant contacts
in russia and israel
Which clearly make him
a flight risk.
I'm gonna disagree
with you there, miss munson.
Given the length
of these proceedings,
I think we're obliged to weigh
The impact of continued
incarceration pending trial.
Defendant's motion for bail
is granted.
It's set at one million dollars.
The jury is dismissed
with the court's thanks.
And we stand adjourned.
[ Gavel bangs ]
What does it mean?
It means
there'll be another trial.
And I have
to testify again?
Yeah.
I'm not gonna be able
to do that.
I'll be right there
with you, lucy.
I don't see
why you'd want me.
Obviously,
they didn't believe me.
All it takes is one person
to hang a jury.
I think most people
did believe you.
You gotta finish
what you started.
When would
the new trial be?
We would push
to accelerate it.
I'm thinking sometime
in february.
See, I have plans
for during february.
What kind of plans?
I'm going with a group tour
to scotland and wales.
We might be able
to compensate you
For any expenses involved
in rescheduling.
I don't want
to reschedule.
I want to go
to scotland and wales
And take a side trip
to the lake district,
And I don't want
to be doing this anymore.
Lucy, you know
how important it is
That korensky gets
what's coming.
Why doesn't anybody else do
what I'm doing?
Like who?
Like ike...
...or anyone.
Who's ike?
Uh, the brother.
I'm not saying
that he knew anything.
We'll talk to him.
He was never
near the warehouse.
I'm sure
he doesn't know anything.
[ Indistinct conversation ]
Hey,
how you guys been?
Hey, baldwin.
Uh, you got
a second?
Sure.
Are you doing buying busts
these days?
Yeah, why?
There's somebody I'd like you
to buy into ‐‐ craig woodruff.
Either he'll be holding, or if
he thinks he can make a buck,
He'll pull
something together.
How come you want us
going after him?
He m*rder*d his wife,
then b*at it at trial.
He b*at his wife's sister
to within an inch of her life.
He drops off,
suddenly resurfaces
Trying to get custody
of his son.
How do dr*gs figure
into this?
All right,
I'll level with you.
I've been
the boy's foster parent.
I care
about this kid.
You realize it will take time
to set this up.
We gotta get
the guy i. D.'D,
Then it's a crapshoot
if he's even holding.
If he's not,
then try him the next day.
Look, you're the first guy
we'd do a favor for,
But we put the hours in
on this,
And we gotta be willing to
if we want to collar him,
Our boss is gonna want
to know why.
Well, maybe you ‐‐
Maybe you can manage not
to have it take that long.
How can we do that?
There's more than one way
to find dr*gs on a guy, right?
Hey, baldwin, if you're asking
what I think you're asking,
We can't do it.
I don't want you to do anything
you're uncomfortable with.
No, don't worry
about it.
We're getting you a nice room at
the holiday inn on 57th street.
I don't care.
It's just that that's where
they give us a break on rooms.
And...it's
a secure location.
There'll be a detail of two
officers with you at all times.
We'll do our best to have at
least one of them be a female.
It's not gonna be you?
I'll be there
as much as I can.
Detective ortiz
and detective murphy
Also will be with you
some of the time.
Do I have to eat
in my room?
No way ‐‐ we go to restaurants,
wherever you want.
With certain
location considerations.
I can't go
to work, though.
No.
But you will be compensated
for lost income.
Can I see my sister?
You can, but we'd rather
you didn't go to her house.
If you want to meet
in a restaurant, that's fine.
I have to be able
to go to church.
No problem.
Why don't you take her to the
hotel and get her squared away?
Come on, lucy,
let's get you situated.
Hey...
Fancy meeting you here.
Hi, ike.
We're going this way.
Come on.
Hey, promise me
you'll wait for me.
I'll be out
in 10 years.
I'm not feeling
very well.
Sit down
for a second.
Andy, I'll be
right there.
My pressure's been
high lately.
I feel like it's something
with my heart.
Want to go
to the emergency room?
No, but maybe
I could go see my doctor?
Why don't we call ahead
and let them know we're coming.
Is it possible
for detective clark to take me?
I'm sorry ‐‐ I don't want
to be a baby about it,
Just for now,
if it could be detective clark.
Just tell andy
to go ahead without me,
And I'll call him
from the doctor's.
Let the boss know
what's going on.
Come on.
Want me to bring
the car around?
So, what's she
doing here?
She's under
police protection.
On account
of my brother?
Right.
She shouldn't worry.
You expect me to believe
that he didn't have her b*at up?
Yeah,
'cause it's the truth.
What can you tell me
about the arson?
Now, why are you so sure
it was an arson?
They found
a gasoline can.
Doesn't mean
it was my brother.
Business was bad,
he went for the insurance?
[ Laughs ]
business was bad...
We're looking
to open a store in paramus.
We know he was in trouble
with the i. R. S.
We know that he stiffed
at least two
Of the wholesalers
he deals with.
Well, those were disputes
over merchandise, period.
He did it before, ike.
Nah, never.
He's got a history of using
force to intimidate people.
Let me
tell you something.
My brother puts the food on
the table for a lot of people.
He's not a please‐and‐thank‐you
guy ‐‐ so be it.
You trying to make him out to be
a monster ‐‐ 100% percent wrong.
Since you stand up
for him so good,
I'm guessing
he trusted you.
Why shouldn't
he trust me?
Did he trust you with his plans
to burn the warehouse?
What plan?
What'd you do ‐‐
pad the inventory
So the payoff
would be bigger?
You might find this hard
to believe,
But I'm not somebody
who'd do something like that.
Ike, are you
under the impression
That a mistrial means
that the d. A.'S office
Would back off
in prosecuting this case?
At a certain point, they figure
they got a loser on their hands.
Not till
hell freezes over.
Thank you
for taking me.
Sure.
Lucy...
Let's go back inside.
I have to make
a phone call.
[ g*nshots ]
Adam, robert, boy.
Adam, robert, boy.
Adam, robert, boy.
Adam, robert, boy.
15Th squad to central "k" ‐‐
sh*ts fired, perp down.
Second perp fled in an older,
white, two‐door cadillac ‐‐
Partial new york registration
"adam, robert, boy."
Put a rush on a bus,
2nd avenue and 10th.
Lucy, you're okay.
How you doing, john?
I'm okay.
What happened?
The guy came towards us, f*ring.
I fired back.
What about
the driver?
John got
a partial plate.
There's an alarm going out
city‐wide every half hour.
I have the auto squad
running it.
The d. O. A.'S got
no i. D.
What was he carrying?
A nine millimeter.
The serial number's filed down.
Maybe the lab can bring it in
after ballistics is done.
You have to see psych services,
not that it wasn't justified.
It's just that I want you
giving it its due.
Can I do it tomorrow?
I'm fine, honest.
First thing tomorrow.
Yeah, I promise.
That's good work,
detective.
Are you sure
you're okay?
I'm fine.
Just give me
a minute.
How you holding up?
[ Sighs ]
I don't know.
Look, lucy, we're gonna find out
who these guys were.
We lay it at the feet
of korensky ‐‐ he's done.
Ready?
I'm gonna take her back.
I'll meet you there.
This guy knows what
he's talking about, all right?
He's a trustee.
He's been in and out of trial
rooms how many years is it?
More than I like
to be reminded of.
Tell him
what you told me.
Take the rip.
Just like that?
Just like that.
I don't see me deserving
a 30‐day rip.
Nobody's saying
that you do.
Is that
with the almond paste?
Then I don't understand
why I have to take it.
If you go to the trial room,
you run the risk
It's gonna be a lot worse
than the 30 days.
Rick!
What?
Is that with the almond paste
underneath the fruit?
Like worse how?
Like instead of 30 days, you get
60 days or a year's probation.
Or they could flop you back
into the uniform.
They could do that?
Right.
Take it, carl.
I just wanted to know
if there's almond paste in it.
I don't know
if there's almond paste in it.
[ Fist slams ]
You know what?
I don't care.
There is no way
in the world
That I deserve a 30‐day rip
for what I did.
And I want my day in court
to say that.
If that's what you want,
that's what it is.
We'll have a lawyer.
I'll be there.
I'm just telling you
you're taking a chance.
Good,
I'll take the chance.
Hey, what's up?
Can we talk
somewhere?
Yeah.
There were
parent‐teacher conferences
At michael's school
this morning.
Yeah, I know, I made
arrangements to go after work.
Well, craig showed up.
He met with michael's teachers.
Well, is the judge
gonna do something?
He's not allowed
to just show up.
No, he's not,
but his lawyers are gonna say
This was just him taking
an interest.
Since they'll say
you weren't able to be there,
I don't think they're gonna
come down on him hard.
How did he even know
to go there?
He got in touch
with the school.
So he's not waiting
on any rulings.
He's moving in on this kid
no matter what.
I know from the school
that michael was upset.
Is that a surprise?
You should do whatever you can
to settle him down
And not inflame
the situation.
Look, this is
a 14‐year‐old kid ‐‐
A smart 14‐year‐old kid.
He knows better than anybody
what's in store for him
If this son of a bitch worms
his way back in.
I think the two of you have
to resign yourselves
To craig being in the picture,
at least to some extent.
And what about
The administration
for children's services?
What kind of services
are you administrating here?
I'm doing the best
that I can.
I get told about things either
last minute or after the fact.
I'm not even
a party to the action.
According to the law,
that's right.
And according to you?
I'm trying to help you, baldwin,
but all I am is a caseworker.
That's right ‐‐ you're just
doing what you're told.
No one told me
to come here and tell you.
Oh, well, thanks
for sticking your neck out.
You're welcome.
I'm not the enemy,
you know.
Sipowicz, can I talk
to you a second?
Yeah,
what's going on?
You might want to look out
for jones a little bit.
Why is that?
He's got a thing with the father
of this foster kid.
He asked me and my partner
to flake him.
He said that?
That was
the general idea.
You sure
that's what he meant?
I know when I'm being asked
to make a guy dirty.
Let me talk to him.
I mean, whatever he's going
through, he's a right guy.
He keeps going
with this,
He's gonna get himself
jammed up.
I'll straighten
him out.
And we never had
this conversation?
Right.
Hi, I'm
lucy welker's sister.
I'd like to speak
to whoever's in charge.
Yes, of course, let me find
the lieutenant for you.
Janet,
is there anything wrong?
Yeah, but I don't want
to talk to you.
I want to talk
to your supervisor.
I'm lieutenant bale.
Step into my office.
Why don't you join us,
detective?
This business with my sister
has got to stop.
It's the
district attorney's office
That's requiring your sister
to testify.
I don't think anybody has
the right to require my sister
To go through
what she's been going through.
She's
a material witness.
Please, don't throw legal jargon
at me, lieutenant.
I know high‐powered attorneys
who'd sue
The district attorney's office
and the police department,
Including detective clark,
personally,
For what's been done
to my sister.
What's been done to me?
Darling, I'm doing my level best
to get you out of here.
And then you can come back
to basking ridge with me.
We can't allow her
to leave the state.
Are you aware that my sister
has a heart condition?
I'm aware she was taken
to the doctor this morning.
We'll provide whatever medical
documentation's necessary
To show
that lucy can't do this.
Sure she can.
Excuse me?
She was great on the stand ‐‐
stood her ground.
And the jury couldn't make up
their minds.
Sometimes
that happens.
And sometimes an innocent,
vulnerable, not‐well person
Can't be put
through an ordeal
So you and
your prosecutor buddy get
To carve another notch
in your belt.
This guy set a fire
that k*lled a fireman.
You don't think
it's important?
Whether it's important or not,
lucy can't testify again.
Your sister
might be capable of more
Than you
give her credit for.
Don't tell me
what my sister's capable of.
You very nearly got her k*lled
this morning.
Stop it!
Darling, I don't want you
getting yourself worked up.
He saved my life
this morning,
And I will not have you speak
to him like that.
I'm sorry, perhaps you'd prefer
I didn't involve myself.
Yes, I would.
Fine.
I guess you prefer
the company of policemen
To that
of your sister.
In any event,
you're here with them.
I'm sure you'll be
perfectly safe.
Why don't you take
a few minutes?
Don't be mad at her.
No, she's worried about you.
I understand that.
It's just
that it's all on me.
I know you're there,
and I know miss munson's there,
But sitting up there
on that witness stand,
I feel
like it's just me.
Lucy, let's get a coffee.
Come on.
Thank you.
I know you're feeling like
you're alone in this,
But you know
that I care about you.
You know that I'm here
to protect you.
You can't keep doing
what you're doing.
What am I doing?
Carrying secrets around
with you.
You're telling
part truth, part lies,
And hoping
no one will find out
What you don't want them
to find out.
What choice
do I have?
This morning,
you mentioned ike korensky
And then pulled back like you
wished you hadn't mentioned him.
I wasn't aware
of doing that.
And then when you ran into him
on the stairs, you got so upset
That you needed
to see a doctor.
That had nothing to do
with running into him.
It was just a buildup of
everything that's been going on.
What was
ike's involvement, lucy?
Was he in
on starting the fire?
He did everything he could
to talk sy out of it.
He told him there were other
ways to come up with the money.
He offered
to sell his own home.
It didn't matter.
When he saw that sy
was going through with it,
All he could do was go down
to the warehouse
And give the guard
the night off.
How do you know all this?
Because ike told me.
Why would he tell you?
Because he trusted me.
And because
we were lovers.
He wasn't leaving
his wife.
I knew he wasn't leaving
his wife.
I just loved him.
I still love him.
The auto squad ran
the combinations
For that white cadillac.
They got six hits.
Only one of them's
in the city.
Where are we going?
Maxine sarasullo
out in rego park.
Let the boss know
we had to go out.
We'll brief him
when we get back.
I'll let him know.
Thanks.
This way.
Normally, I got a lot of regard
for you guys, but this is nuts.
How come you sent the guard home
that night, ike?
I sent him home because there
was nothing for him to do.
I think that his daughter was up
from florida then.
You do realize it comes off
a little suspicious
When you, all of a sudden,
send the night watchman home
The same night
the place burns down?
Wolfe is
my sister‐in‐law's father.
He couldn't guard
a bowl of dog food.
Ike, you discussed the plan
ahead of time with your brother.
You went to the warehouse
the night of the fire.
Believe me when I tell you,
there's 12 people in your future
Who are gonna send you
to prison for that.
How do you know
what I discussed?
Lucy welker told us.
And when she takes the stand
the next time,
She's gonna testify
to it
And to how it is
she knows.
You should hang your head
in shame
That you let
a scared‐to‐death woman
That you supposedly care for
put her life on the line
Because she's
the only one willing
To stand up
against your scumbag brother.
I can't believe
she told you.
She stood the b*ating
without saying anything,
But getting sh*t at was
more than she could handle.
You think
I wanted that?
You did it to her.
You and your brother did it
big time to that fireman.
If you knew
what I was going through...
That is nothing compared to
what you're about to go through.
You're gonna be tried
as a co‐conspirator.
You will be convicted,
And your kids are gonna grow up
seeing you every month
Behind plexiglass.
Unless you tell us
the truth.
[ Exhales nervously ]
I can't do that.
Take him downstairs.
Throw him in a cell.
Get up.
Let's go.
What's your boyfriend's name,
miss sarasullo?
Jeff iaccanis.
Why, what'd he do now?
When's the last time
you saw him?
This morning.
Did he say
what he was doing?
Yeah, he said he was going
to pick up some samples,
Like clothing samples,
And taking them
to this guy who sells them
At the flea market on 6th avenue
on the weekends.
That's why he needed the car,
and I had to take a bus.
You know
if he was meeting anybody?
I know he was going
by butchie's
'Cause he asked me for something
to bring over there.
What'd he
ask you for?
What's this about?
We're trying
to gather information
On what your boyfriend and
butchie might have been doing.
He asked for some pills
to bring butchie's girlfriend.
Do you know
where we can find butchie?
Not sure.
[ Sighs ]
We hate to have
to tell you this,
But your boyfriend
was k*lled today.
[ Scoffs ]
great.
If you want
to take a few minutes
To compose yourself,
feel free.
How'd it happen?
He was in the midst
of committing a crime,
And he was k*lled
by a police officer.
assh*le.
You think butchie was with him
when this happened?
Of course.
You should know that butchie
drove off and left him to die.
Butchie was driving
my car?
Right.
Son of a bitch!
Jeff told me it was only him
who was gonna be driving my car.
I don't let butchie
drive my car.
No matter what, I don't let
butchie drive my car.
We need
to find butchie.
First block of yellowstone
boulevard off the expressway ‐‐
There's a two‐family house
with a pink and white awning.
Butchie's around the back
on the right.
And there'd better be no damage
to that cadillac car,
Or you can tell butchie
he's gonna make good on it.
I don't care
if he's in prison or not.
We'll definitely
tell him.
Some stupid idiot I pick
for a boyfriend, huh?
[ Sighs ]
That thing with michael's
this afternoon?
Yeah.
How's it look?
The lawyer says
it could go either way.
I had a conversation
with gary moretti.
Yeah?
You don't want
to do this.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
You worked hard to build
the kind of reputation you got.
One bonehead move like this,
and it's gone.
You'd do anything
for your kid, right?
Michael's my kid.
Let this play itself out,
baldwin.
What does that mean?
What ‐‐ trust the system?
This guy kills his wife,
then gets away with it.
He snows the judge into granting
him supervised visitation.
Now he's bucking
for full custody...
I'm not saying
to sit back and do nothing.
...which he might get,
'cause the judge could find
That being with his murdering,
dope fiend of a father
Is in michael's
best interest.
Or that might not be
what happens.
I gave michael my word he
wouldn't go back to his father.
I made a promise.
You also made a promise
to stay in his life.
You get yourself locked up
or fired off the job,
They're
taking him away.
And putting him
with another foster parent.
The point being
he's not with you.
No, the point being they put him
back with his father,
He winds up dead.
[ Sighs ]
weight of the world.
Uh, how ‐‐ how's
the studying coming
For the sergeant's test?
Good.
Do not, under any circumstances,
neglect aided‐cases procedures.
Yeah, I'm going over
all of that.
One thing
to remember ‐‐
A prisoner is never
an aided case.
I‐i‐i try
to use mnemonics.
You know what I mean
by "mnemonics"?
Not exactly.
"My very educated mother
just served us nine pickles."
Mercury, venus, earth,
mars, jupiter ‐‐
Yeah, right, I haven't found
any of them yet.
You know, i‐i‐i wish
I'd have kept
my 3x5 file cards.
I was so disgusted
when I got out of the exam,
I threw them all away.
I went blank, pouring sweat,
my stomach doing flip‐flops.
I could barely remember
my own name.
John: excuse me,
that was the desk sergeant.
Ike korensky just tried
to hang himself.
[ Door closes ]
He's still breathing.
What'd he do it with?
His shirt.
I took his belt.
I took his shoelaces.
When's the last time
you looked in on him?
Ten minutes ago.
He was fine.
He asked about getting
something to eat.
I want a cop riding
in the ambulance with him.
Is he gonna make it?
I don't know.
It figures it didn't work.
You think maybe
that's a good thing?
You don't understand.
Help us
with it, then, ike.
Tell us how it is that your wife
deserves to be a widow,
And your kids deserve to be left
without a father.
They're better off
without me.
They don't think so.
Now they don't
think so.
Let them see
the mess I'm in ‐‐
The kind of person
that I am.
They'll only wish
I'd done it sooner.
You're wrong.
You're young still.
Believe me, you don't always do
people a favor by staying alive.
My father
k*lled himself, ike.
He had all kinds of problems.
He made all kinds of mess.
Never once
did I think I was better off.
I'm sorry you're having
to go through that,
And I didn't know
your father.
But I know
that in my community,
The lowest thing that you can do
is turn on your family,
On your brother.
How can I face him?
How can you face the woman
that your brother tried to k*ll?
I can't.
Maybe you've been given
another chance so you can.
Where were you
this morning, butchie?
Uh, let me think
a second,
'Cause I want
to get this right.
Uh, this morning, uh, I had
coffee with my girlfriend ‐‐
My fiancée, actually.
Then I went
into the city.
How'd you get there?
"F" train
on continental avenue.
You and another individual
were seen in a car
At some point
this morning.
I‐i might have driven over
to continental avenue.
Who was this individual,
butchie?
He's a friend of mine.
Where is he now?
I don't know.
We think maybe you do know,
butchie.
Would you like us to take you
to where he is now
And show him to you?
I was getting a ride into
the city is all I was doing.
And along the way, he decided
to stop and k*ll somebody,
So he asked you
to drive?
You shouldn't have too tough a
time getting a jury to buy that.
You guys think
I'm a hit man?
The of crimes I do, I grab
a handful of fake rolexes
Off some wink's table
on canal street,
And I sell them
for $15 apiece.
Well, congratulations, you've
broken into the big leagues.
What you're looking at is
conspiracy to commit m*rder
And attempted m*rder
on a police officer.
That'll send you away
for 25 years minimum.
On the other hand, it'll look
a lot more impressive in prison
Than grabbing
a handful of fake rolexes.
I didn't sh**t the g*n!
I didn't touch the g*n!
All I did was drive.
For a m*rder conspiracy,
driving's enough.
Who's jeff working for,
butchie?
Right, so now I tell you that,
I'm dead.
Tell us what happened, you'll
be provided with protection.
Oh, like that lady was provided
with protection.
That woman's alive
and unharmed.
We'll just mark you down
as uncooperative,
Turn it over
to the d. A.,
And you could take
your chance in court.
He was working
for this guy korensky.
Jeff was getting 20,
and I was getting 10.
Good.
All I wanted to do today
was get high
And just stay in bed
with my girlfriend.
You're late, detective.
I'm sorry, your honor.
And you were supposed to have
brought michael with you.
Where is he?
He left school
sometime after second period.
I don't know where he is.
I was waiting
for this.
That's enough,
mr. Woodruff.
I checked out the house.
I checked with his aunt.
Nobody seems
to know where he is.
I would ask that the foster‐care
placement of michael
With detective jones
be terminated.
There is no basis
for this, your honor.
The basis is
that either detective jones
Is concealing
michael's whereabouts
Because he's afraid he's not
gonna like the outcome
Of these proceedings
or he's negligent.
In either case, he ought not to
remain as the adult responsible
For this boy's
well‐being.
I am not getting into that
right now.
I'm not gonna proceed with
this hearing until he is here.
What I would suggest
is that everyone lend
Their best efforts to finding
him and bringing him in.
Miss kingston, I trust you'll be
playing an active role in that?
I will, your honor.
The court is to be informed
when the boy surfaces.
Until then,
we're adjourned.
Why is it you guys are
all about abiding by the law,
Respecting the law, until
it looks like it's against you?
I don't want to get into this
with you, craig.
It can't be easy to look
a boy's father in the face
And tell him that you made off
with his son.
I don't think of you
as a father.
It doesn't matter whether you
think of me that way or not.
I am michael's father.
I am.
Not you ‐‐ me.
You need
to stop this now.
Bring him back or I'm gonna
forget that I'm a christian man,
That I abide by the law,
and I'm gonna come after you.
You need to control your client,
miss freedman.
Whatever happens to me,
I'm gonna come after you.
[ Door closes ]
Baldwin...
Baldwin,
listen to me.
I can protect you
if you have him,
But you have to put him in a cab
and send him over to my office.
I don't have time to convince
you and tell you the truth,
And I don't care
whether you believe me.
He ran away.
I don't know where he is.
You have any idea
where he is?
No.
You have
my cell phone number.
Will you call me as soon
as you know something?
Yeah.
Well, let me go back in there
and try to talk to them.
I'm sorry
about this morning.
Okay.
Go find him.
I appreciate your coming by,
mr. Corassic.
You made the decision
to go to trial?
I did.
Then you're entitled
to competent representation,
Which, that would be me.
Yeah, yeah,
they said you were good.
People think you gotta go
with outside counsel
To have a chance.
That's bologna.
I hold my own
against any of those guys,
And then some.
Obviously,
it's not an issue
Whether or not
I was working at the bar.
Concede nothing.
No, I'm just saying
that they can prove it.
I mean, there's no question
with it ‐‐ they can prove it.
Right.
So then,
what do we do?
We keep it
short and sweet.
They'll have your record
in front of them.
They'll be made aware by me
of the disproportionate nature
Of the suggested
punishment.
I enjoy a good relationship with
most of the trial commissioners.
Hopefully,
the one we get
Won't be fresh out
of human kindness when he rules.
Yeah, and you don't think
it's a bad idea going to trial?
I think
it's a terrible idea.
But that's what you want to do,
so that's what we're doing.
Where is she?
In the coffee room
with rita.
Miller,
put him in the pokey.
I want to call my lawyer
to meet me here.
There's nothing
he can do for you here.
Have him meet you
at 100 center street.
How long?
Two hours.
I don't want
to wait two hours!
You have no choice.
We just
brought him in.
Good work.
Maybe this time it'll stick.
Let's hope.
You're taking the
sergeant's test next saturday?
[ Sighs ]
yeah.
I'll clear you
for the day.
Thanks.
Why don't you take my copy
of the patrol guide?
I got one.
Mine's got
all my notes in it.
Okay.
Thank you.
Good luck.
Detective...
Is he here?
He's in the pokey.
Where's lucy?
This way.
Now you can hear it
from the d. A. Herself.
You're testifying,
ike's testifying,
And the guy who drove the car
this morning is testifying.
Safety in numbers maybe.
He can't make
all three of you disappear.
Simon korensky will die
in prison, lucy.
That's not necessarily something
I would wish on anyone.
In his case,
you can make an exception.
Would it be all right
if I went to see ike?
Sure...
We can run you over there.
Thank you.
We should go start
the paper work.
Can I have him
for one second?
I'll go start
the paper work.
Whatever I thought about you
going into this case,
I just wanted to say "thank you"
for everything you did.
And whatever you thought
about me,
You were absolutely right
to think.
This is one
I don't want to lose.
As opposed to ones
where you don't mind?
You're right, I don't like
to lose any of them.
It was good working
with you.
It was good working
with you.
What happened?
Michael went missing from school
before I could pick him up.
I checked everywhere
I could think of.
He ever do this before?
Never.
You want
to find him fast.
You have
his cell phone?
Get it dumped
and maybe try and get it cloned.
Without a court order,
that's not gonna happen.
You got a good photograph
of him?
Should I make up
some flyers?
Right, and get them out
to patrol.
Put a message out
to all commands.
Also, give us a list of places
he hangs out at.
I'll go get
the photograph.
Can you tell the boss?
Right.
I gotta ask you this.
I don't have him,
andy.
I'd understand it
if you hid him away someplace.
I wish I did,
'Cause depending
on what happens,
I may spend the rest of my life
regretting that I didn't.
I'll check
with port authority place.
Thanks.
He'll turn up.
Yeah.
