Previously on "nypd blue"...

Step aside. Homicide.

How long you been
waiting to say that?

It's the first thing
I thought of.

Hey, sarge.

Here.
What's this?

Open it.

"Scofield realty.
Greg medavoy, sales."

When you're ready.

I think I'm gonna
put in my papers.

Are you serious?

I don't think I'll love a job
as much as being a detective,

But I got an opportunity
opening up.

I think I could
have a life with brigid,

And I'm never gonna have
another chance like that.

Two of mine ‐‐
donatelli and perez ‐‐

Chasing a suspicious male
who throws a sh*t.

Gets donatelli
in the leg.

He get away?

The back of the building
opens up onto attorney street.

Chances are,
he came out there.

He all right for us
to talk to him?

Go ahead.

Hey, how you doing?

All right.

You get a look at him?
Male, black, 18 to 20.

He had some gray sweatshirt
underneath an army jacket.

A knit hat.

Height, weight?
Probably 5'5", 5'6".

What happened before
you took off after him?

We see him walking
down the street.

I thought I recognized him
from having locked him up.

It looks like
there's a bulge on his hip.

I tell him to come over.
He takes off.

At first
I didn't see him,

And then he jumps out
from around the corner,

Threw a sh*t, and took off.

Did you guys
get any sh*ts off?
No.

We got to get going.

I'd like to ride with him
unless you need me to stay here.

We'll find you
down at the hospital.

Sipowicz: hey! Hey!
What are you doing, huh?!

You see you're blocking
an ambulance?

Get this car
the hell out of here!

Sergeant sipowicz.

I saw that directly across
from where donatelli got sh*t,

There was a woman
sitting in the window.

Name's margaret gregorac,
apartment 1b.

She was there at the time,

Saw donatelli and perez
go into the building.

You might want
to talk to her.

Sounds like
you already did.

It's your case.

We had a report of a homicide ‐‐
515 bank street.

Clark and jones,
you guys take it.

Hey, andy.

Yeah.

Hey, andy.

Hey.

Andy, let me get one of you
up in the squad.

Do me a favor ‐‐
don't take my picture.

It's my last day.

I know
it's your last day.

I, uh...i just don't feel like
having my picture taken.

Okay.

Who is she?

Name's deborah olshan,
37 years old.

Looks like she got hit
in the head with that statue.

Who called in the job?

A friend of hers ‐‐
maxine anunziato.

Let herself in
with her own key around 9:00.

Any sign of forced entry?
Not that I can see.

Whoever it is
got her rings.

A bunch of jewelry boxes
in the dressing room

Got cleaned out.

Where's her friend?

Maxine?

Uh‐huh.

I'm detective clark.
This is detective jones.

You found her?

She was getting ready
to redo her kitchen.

We were supposed to go
to abc carpet

To pick out some tile.

How'd you get in?

I had a key from
when I house‐sat for them.

Who's "them"?

Debbie and her husband.

What's her husband's name?
Barry olshan.

How did you know debbie?

We went
to midwood high school together.

Looks like she did all right
for herself.

She married barry
'cause she loved him.

As far as the money's concerned,
she could've cared less.

What does he do
for a living?

He's in
the jewelry business.

They have a good marriage?

Beautiful.

She was
a beautiful person.

You know,
she was like a saint.

She was always like,
"what can I do?

What's wrong?
Can I help you?"

Strangers, she'd help.

Her friends or family ‐‐
forget about it.

Is there anyone you know of
who had access to the place?

Please. If someone rang
the doorbell, she'd let them in.

[ Sniffles ]

You gonna
take a picture of her?

Yeah.

She'd hate that.
I'm sure she would.

What did they do this for?

A diamond ring,
a few gold chains?

You were home this morning,
mrs. Gregorac?

I went to 7:00 mass.
After that, I was home.

Which would be
what time?

Mass is 40 minutes.

I stop at the candy store
and pick up the news.

I'm home by 8:00.

The officer said he saw you
sitting in the window.

Sipowicz.
Right.

Polish names,
I always remember.

Is this
where you were sitting?

Except for when
I'm watching my program

Or asleep in the bed,
that's it.

Murphy: what time
does your program start?

12:00.

Did you see
any police officers

Run into that building
around 8:30?

I saw two of them
go in there together.

I wouldn't say
they were running.

Did you see
who they were chasing?

Unfortunately, I didn't.

You didn't see
a black guy, 5'5", 5'6",

Wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt
and an army jacket?

I'm sorry.

Did you see anyone
that fits that description

When you went to church,
when you came back?

This is
who sh*t the cop?

Yeah.

I'm gonna be keeping my
eye out for him, believe me.

Uh, this is mr. Olshan
and his attorney.

Norman haines.
How do you do?

Uh, hi. Why don't we go
back in here.

I understand you need to get
started with your investigation,

But given that mr. Olshan
just lost his wife,

If we can keep this
as brief as possible,

That would be
very much appreciated.

We'll do our best.

Mr. Olshan, when did
you see your wife last?

I left for shacharith
this morning around 5:30.

What is shacharith?

Morning prayers.

Where do you do that?

The shul's
on ludlow street.

Where do you go
from the shul?

To the store.

Which is where?

Canal and mott.

What does your wife
do in the morning?

7:00,
She goes to the gym...

Comes home...

Showers, dresses.

Then she comes in
to the store.

I'm talking about her
like she's still here.

Mr. Olshan, were there
any of your employees

Who might have been given
access to your home?

What kind of access?

Keys, the alarm code.

No.
Why would I do that?

From my understanding,
this was a robbery.

It would appear some things
may have been taken,

But we don't know
if the motive was robbery.

We're gonna need a list
of people working for you.

Guys,
an expensive town house

Is a target for anyone
looking to do a robbery.

Why are we focusing
on this being an inside job?

There was no sign
of forced entry.

Someone either came to the door,
your wife let them in

Or they knew how to get in.

There's no one working for me
you have to worry about.

We still need to talk
with them.

Is there anyone
you come into contact with

Who might be dealing
in stolen merchandise?

Why are you
asking him that?

We'd want to talk
to that person.

I'm gonna have to terminate
the interview.

By the nature
of your questioning,

You've made my client
a suspect.

Showing up with a lawyer,
he's made himself a suspect.

Where is it written
you can't have a lawyer?

Most people finding out
their spouse has been m*rder*d

Don't call a lawyer.

I'm not grieving
because he's here?

You don't have to
respond to them, barry.

It raises questions.

I don't care
what it raises!

I don't care
what you think of me!

I know how I felt
about my wife!

God knows how I felt
about my wife!

And that's it.

That's all that matters.

I think we're done.

So, you and barry
were partners.

Right.

His wife work here?
Yeah.

They have
a good marriage?

Who am I to say
it was a good marriage?

As far as you could tell.

They acted
like a married couple.

Are you aware of any
of the people working here

Having criminal records?

Mister, this is
a legitimate business.

Nobody's saying it isn't.

These people handle hundreds
of thousands worth of jewelry.

They're honest people.
Also, I watch them like a hawk.

These are the people
working for us.

Thank you.

How well did you know
debbie olshan, mrs. Zell?

I knew her.
She worked with you.

I wouldn't say "worked."

When she felt like it,
she came in.

[ Speaking yiddish ]
they shouldn't know
the truth?

She was not from the community.
Barry met her.

Very exciting,
very attractive.

Everyone said, "this is
not someone you marry."

But barry didn't listen,
so...now he has problems.

And what kind of problems
does he have?

To lose a wife,
to bring shame on your family.

Do you think barry
had anything to do with it?

No. No.
She doesn't think nothing.

Barry, in his way,
is trying to be a good jew.

He wasn't always,
but he is now.

We mourn his wife, deborah,
and that's all.

And her friends...

Enough!

Mr. Zell, we need to speak
to your wife by herself.

Please.

[ Speaking yiddish ]

Who were her friends?

She had a friend maxine.

It's an italian last name.

Dresses like a streetwalker,
smokes.

She comes in
to see deborah,

Acts flirtatious with the men,
and I'm talking now

About deborah's husband
and about my husband.

When's the last time
she was here?

Last week.
She and deborah had words.

I don't know
what it was about.

All I remember
is barry going over

And saying,
"the answer is no!"

Like that ‐‐ strong.

Were there problems
between barry and his wife?

[ Scoffs ]
naturally there were problems.

Barry was trying
to get back in touch

With what it meant
to be a jew,

And deborah was trying to be
for him a good jewish wife.

And with all that,

This is
who she's friends with?

Decent people
go with decent people.

Perez.

How's he doing?

I don't know.
They're doing x‐rays now.

Maybe you could take us
through the sequence of events.

I was driving.
Pat was in the passenger seat.

We go past the gomper houses.
We turn left on rivington.

Pat spots the guy on the corner
of rivington and clinton.

What time was that?

About 8:30.

You saw what looked like a g*n
and you call him over.

What happens then?

He ran down clenton.
We followed him in the car.

Then what happened?

A third of the way
down the block,

He ran into this building.

Pat went in after him.

What'd you do?

I pulled the car
over to the curb,

Secured it,
and went in after him.

As soon as I got inside,
I heard the sh*t.

When I got to pat,
he was on the ground.

I stayed with him.

You didn't go in together?

No.

Any more details on the
description come to mind?

The hat he was wearing,

I think it had
some kind of logo on it.

We'd like you to come
to the station house,

Look at some mug books.

Sure. Any word on
whether they found the g*n?

Not yet.

How long on the roots?

30 Minutes.

Uh, before today,

When was the last time
you saw debbie olshan?

I saw her last week.

Where was that?

I stopped by the store.

Just to visit?

As opposed to what?

Maybe there was something
you had to talk to her about.

Wha‐‐

Am i, like, a suspect here?
Is that what's happening?

We're talking
to anybody who knew her.

Oh.

She was gonna bank
for me

To open up a salon
in the city.

We were talking about
location and size.

There was a million and one
details to go over,

So that's what it was.

Were you having
an argument?

We were like sisters,
all right?

Sometimes we'd yell,
sometimes we'd argue.

That's what sisters do.

Did it affect
your relationship

That she started
to get more religious?

Oh, yeah, it did.

When barry started getting crazy
with all this jewish stuff,

Debbie had a big problem
with it.

I was her friend
from her old life,

Which, you know,
barry's whole orthodox scene

Wanted nothing to do with.

You still went over
to the house, though.

Yeah, sometimes.
You know, we'd go to lunch.

She'd go out once a week.

The girl still liked to go out,
jewish or no.

Would she meet anybody
going out?

As in, like,
starting to see somebody?

Somebody who might have
spotted a rock on her finger

And found out
where she lived.

[ Sighs ]

There was this russian guy
that we used to see

Every once in a while
when we'd go to the clubs.

I mean,
he was all over her.

She had this 5½‐carat
canary yellow diamond.

It was gorgeous.

I remember him making
a really big deal over it.

Is there any reason
to believe he does robberies?

I didn't think of this before,
but he used tell us

If we ever needed gucci
or prada or louis vuitton

That he'd get it
for us.

What's his name?

Mike.

I never got his last name,

But debbie used to call him
"russian mike."

What does he look like?

He had short hair, thin face,
really russian‐looking.

I remember
that he dressed nicer

Than most of the russians,
though.

And he had a spider tattoo
on his hand.

Any idea
where we can find him?

There's a restaurant
on, uh...

Brighton beach avenue
called, uh, olga's.

I think he said
he hung out there.

Nuchie only wants you,
sweetheart.

Sorry.

Can I go finish up?

Sure.

Making any headway
with this horror show?

Some.

Maxine's sick about it.

Woman:
lenny, get over here!

Hey, jones,
I'll meet you up there.

What's new?

Husband of the d.o.a.
Showed up with his lawyer?

Yeah, it might be there's
some russian involvement.

Jewelry outfits work good
for laundering money.

Yeah, that's true.

So, that's a good arrangement,
you and jones?

I think.

Obviously, I'd just as soon
be back working with you.

Don't be telling me that
no more, okay?

Okay.

Mike around?

[ Russian accent ]
who's that?

Mike.

I don't know mike.

Where's your boss?

He's not here.

Mike has short hair.

He's got a spider tattoo
on his hand.

I don't know mike.

What's your name?
Paulina.

Tell us where he is now,
nobody will know you told us.

On the other hand,
if we find out you're lying,

We'll come back
when the place is full.

Why you think I'm lying?

He said "if."

I don't know mike.
I know micha.

He fits the description?

Two blocks this way,
a blue building.

What's his name
on the buzzer?

Noishikov.

Thank you, paulina.

You don't come back now?

If we find him there,
we won't come back.

Good.

How's the leg?

They gave me something
for the pain. It's all right.

This is my wife, teresa.

I'm detective ortiz.
This is detective murphy.

Nice to meet you.

We need to go over
the sequence of events with you.

Do you want me
to wait outside?

No, it don't matter.

Okay, where do you
want me to start?

Um, when you
spotted the guy.

Anthony was driving.

I was
in the passenger seat.

It was about 8:30.

We called him over to the car,
and he took off.

Where was this?

Clenton and rivington.

You follow him in the car?

About a third of the way
down the block,

Where he ran into this building
with a construction fence.

I jumped out
and ran in after him.

What about your partner?

He came in after me.

After you?

Right.

What happened once you got
inside the construction fence?

I stepped into a doorway.

I looked to my right,

And there was some kind of
concrete forms for a stairway.

And this guy stepped out from
behind them, fired one sh*t.

I went down,
and that was it.

Where was your partner
at this point?

He came running in
after he heard the sh*t.

Then he stayed with me.

If I know anthony, he wishes
it was him who got sh*t.

Definitely.

Anything else occur to you
by way of description?

I say he had
a knit hat on?

Yeah, you did.

I think it had
some kind of logo on it.

We've managed
to locate a witness

Who saw you
go into the building.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, there's
some discrepancies

Between her account
and your account.

Like what?

She said you went in together.
You say you went in separately.

Maybe she figures him
coming in right after me

Is like going in together.

She said neither of you
were running.

She's wrong.

She didn't see you
chasing anyone.

What does that mean?

Maybe she got distracted.
Maybe she's nearsighted.

Pat, don't get excited.

They're acting like this is
some major contradiction.

It's also sounding
like you and your partner

Might have rehearsed
some of your answers.

Are you trying
to piss me off?

I think
I'm gonna wait outside.

We're just trying
to find out what happened.

I told you what happened ‐‐
I got sh*t.

We need to know
the circumstances.

The circumstances are exactly
what I told you they were,

Exactly what perez
told you they were.

I don't feel like
being cross‐examined

While in a hospital bed.

If you want to play
sherlock holmes,

You're gonna have to wait
until I'm out of here

And I got a delegate
sitting next to me.

Maybe we'll talk to you again
when you're feeling better.

That wife knows something
she's not saying.

I think
we need to go back there

And talk to her
by herself.

A patrol found a g*n
in a garbage can

Near where
the sh**ting was.

Oh, yeah?

Ballistics is looking
to work up a match on it.

Get one of you, john?

Oh, sure. Do you want me to be
doing anything specific?

No, just like that,
just sitting at your desk.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

What's going on?

Uh, just, uh,
taking a few pictures

To, uh,
remember the place by.

That's a good idea.

Uh, get one of you, boss?

Sure.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

Uh, boss.

Got a possible suspect ‐‐

A russian in brighton beach
knew the d. O. A.

He might be doing robberies
on a regular basis.

Want to hit the house?

Do we have to bring in
emergency service?

That's the procedure.

Any chance you could come along
so we don't have to?

What's the problem?

There's always
some jughead sergeant

Who will want to see the
paperwork or seal off the block.

I'll meet you downstairs.

You want to
come with us, greg?

Where you going?
Hit a house.

Yeah, sure.

This is it.

Police! Open up!

I'm gonna take the door.

[ Grunts ]

Get your hands up!
Hands up!

[ Grunts ]

I'm hit.
I'm hit.

Who sh*t you?
I don't know.

Where's the sh**t?

Down there.
Down there.

Which way?
Which way?

Check the back stairs!

We got a 10‐13 ‐‐ officer down.
6‐1 Precinct...

You're gonna be all right.
Keep your hands on it.

Put a rush on an ambulance.
Have additional units assigned.

Stay with me. Come on.
You're gonna be okay.

Baldwin,
chief of detective's here.

What happened?

We banged into the joint
for the one guy.

Bill hadn't gotten in yet.

Another guy
comes out of a back door,

Got a sh*t off, and split.

How's he doing?

They just took him
into surgery.

It ain't good.

Who's with
the one you brought in?

Greg brought him
back to the house.

Is there a second whip
up in the squad?

No, sir.

Andy, come here.

I want you working this case.
I'll notify the chief of patrol.

Get out of the bag,
back in a suit.

You got it.

Okay, guys,
you heard that.

How is he?

He was still in surgery
when we left.

Where's your lawyer?

I, uh...

I wanted to talk to you
without him.

I talked to my rabbi.

He said there are things
I need to tell you.

Like what?

The reason I came here
with my lawyer was I was afraid

You would want
to look into my business.

What are you afraid
we'd find?

That I move money around.

You laundered money?

Yeah.

Who are the people
you did it for?

I didn't come to cast blame.
This was my transgression.

I don't think
it had anything to do

With what happened
to deborah.


We need the names of the people
you did it for.

I don't think they get involved
with robberies.

If they didn't,
I've gotten them into trouble

For something I'm just as
responsible for as they are.

A police lieutenant was sh*t
and critically wounded

In the course of investigating
your wife's m*rder.

That means you don't
get to pick and choose

What you tell us
and what you don't, okay?

Everything comes out now.

[ Sighs ]

He could die?

We need names,
mr. Olshan.

There's a guy named lenny russo
who brokered it.

He's the only name I know.

How'd you meet him?
He works with maxine.

She doesn't live the most
upstanding life in the world,

But it was important

That deborah maintain
that relationship.

Anyway, one day
she brings over lenny.

When's the last time
you talked to him?

A couple of weeks ago.

He wanted to open
a salon in the city,

Which suddenly became
my responsibility.

There's a lease
that had to be signed.

He had given notice.

I told him I didn't want to be
involved with him anymore.

Has he been to your house?

No. I kept all that
away from my house.

Then when I decided to live
a more upright life,

To stop doing
these illegal things,

I thought
I got away with it.

Now god takes my wife
away from me.

You get away
with nothing.

Teresa, can you think
of any reason

Your husband would lie
about this sh**ting?

No.

Well, if he is,
it's really best

That we find out sooner
rather than later.

And that it's us
that finds out

Rather than
internal affairs.

Why would he lie?

If he's involved
in some illegal activity

And the sh**ting
stems from that,

He might be lying
to cover it up.

Pat would never be involved
in anything illegal.

If you knew him, you would
never even suggest that.

Maybe it's his partner,
and he's lying to protect him.

Both of them, they're totally
honest, totally straight.

They're not being straight
with us now,

And we need to know why.

Pat has cancer.

How long has he had it?

Um...

We found out six months ago

That he had it
in his colon.

And last month,

We found out it had
metastasized in his liver.

[ Sniffles ]

We're so sorry
to hear that.

I'm not supposed to say
anything to anyone.

He wants
to keep on working.

He doesn't want
anyone to know.

Don't worry about that
now.

I don't know that it has
anything to do with this,

But I think maybe it does.

I should probably go back in
and be with him.

Go ahead.

I'm sergeant sipowicz.

The individual who was present
in your apartment ‐‐

Who sh*t
that police officer ‐‐

I need his name.

[ Russian accent ] I tell you
what I tell other guy.

I don't know name.

Your name's micha?
Right.

The thing
you have to know, micha ‐‐

I don't care
how long this takes.

I don't care
what I have to do to you.

But you will tell me
his name.

What I don't know,
I don't know.

Before we leave this room,
you will tell me his name.

I've been
in soviet prison.

Uh‐huh.

I've been b*at plenty
before you come along.

Who's the guy who ran?

I don't know name.

I think you probably are
a pretty tough guy, micha.

I handle myself
not so bad.

I think you probably could stand
a halfway‐decent b*ating.

No problem.

The building on brighton
and fourth street ‐‐

Who else lives
on your floor?

A ukrainian woman
with small children,

An old russian man.

That's it?

Also, maybe,
guy named willy.

Willy what?

I don't know willy what.

I guess I could see
how close I come to k*lling you

Before you tell me
what I need to know.

I go too far, so be it.

You don't k*ll me.

We got you
on illegal‐weapons charges.

You are in possession
of stolen merchandise.

I don't even do nothing.

This guy sh*t a new york city
police lieutenant.

Do you actually think
that anyone around here

Gives a rat's ass
what I do to you?

They will take your body
out of here,

Throw it in the river,
and all I'll get,

If anyone finds out,
is a pat on the back.

I don't sh**t
no lieutenant.

That wasn't me
who did that.

That's right,
but you're the one I got,

And you're the one
who's gonna go to prison for it.

And I am not talking about
locking you up with no russians.

Upstate new york.

It's blacks, puerto ricans,
dominicans wall to wall.

How long?

Well, put it this way ‐‐
you're a young man now.

You'll be an old man
by the time you get out.

His name
is sergei lecianin.

Where do we find him?

He have a sister in regal park
named khazanov.

He have girlfriend
in fort lee.

I don't know name.
I only know building.

Let's hope
that information is good.

He don't fear nothing,
that guy.

Not police, not nothing.

Let us worry about that.

When's the last time
you saw debbie olshan, lenny?

A month ago, two months.

And where was that?

She was out with maxine,
and I saw them at a restaurant.

Who's putting up
the money

For the salon
you wanted to open in chelsea?

We're still
looking for backers.

Were you hoping for something
from the olshans?

Friendship and business,
I believe you keep separate.

And I believe you're getting
pretty nervous right about now.

Why?

Do I have that nixon thing
going on around the upper lip?

Maybe I should go powder.

You tried to hold barry up.
We know this.

Once representations
were made,

I thought
they should be made good on.

That's not
holding anyone up.

See, lenny, you started
negotiating a lease,

Gave notice to the place
in brooklyn.

When barry told you he wasn't
gonna bankroll a salon

And wasn't gonna do
any more money‐laundering deals,

You decided to get the money
another way.

Sorry.
Homey don't play that.

We're not saying
you did it yourself.

If maxine gave you a key,
and you tell us that,

You'd be cooperating.

If deborah came in, who's to say
she didn't come after you?

You see,
you're a licensed hairdresser.

That means
your prints are on file.

And we'll commit as much time
as we have to,

As many cops as we have to,
and we'll search their place

Until we find prints
that match.

At that point, we don't
need you to say anything,

And you won't be able
to help yourself.

If I say
I'm gonna be someplace at 9:00,

I'm there at 9:00.

People are like, "I overslept."
"I had a personal crisis."

I don't do that.

I've been working
since I'm 14 years old,

And my word is like gold.

Not everyone's like that.
Tell me about it.

The olshans are first in,
then they're out.

Maxine's going to convince
debbie, and then she can't.

Debbie's not gonna walk in
on me, and then she does.

What happened
when she does?

She went after me.

I grabbed the closest thing
I could to defend myself with,

Which just happened to be
some hideous marble statue.

Maxine gave you the key?

She gave me the key.
She gave me the alarm code.

She told me
where the jewelry was

And what time
her friend went to the gym.

I mean, does she think
I'm gonna take

All the responsibility,
all the blame?

All everything, all the time?

Sorry, maxine.
That's not gonna happen.

Anything?

A couple were close,
but they weren't him.

[ Sighs ]

I think we have
a problem here, anthony.

What's that?

The story you guys were telling
doesn't check out.

You found the g*n.

Which you could have put there
for us to find.

The witness we talked to said
she saw you and donatelli

Walk into the building
together.

She didn't see that
you were chasing anybody.

We also know from donatelli's
wife that he has cancer.

What are you guys
trying to do, hurt him?

We're just trying
to find out what happened.

Pat donatelli is faced
with dying of a disease,

Getting ordinary benefits,

And having his wife and kid
get nothing.

Are you saying
you falsified a report?

Or retiring on 3/4
for a line‐of‐duty injury

That gets paid
in perpetuity.

What would you do?
Hmm?

What would you do
if it was her?

And what would you do
if it was her?

We understand
you're in a tough position.

He's just trying
to look after his family.

For right now,
don't say anything to anybody.

Let us see
what we can do.

What's going on with that?

[ Sighs ]
donatelli has cancer.

The g*nsh*t wound
was self‐inflicted.

So he'd get 3/4.

How do you know?

Perez admitted it.

Does he realize he still gets
3/4 if it's accidental?

I don't know why
he didn't just say that.

Do we need to call
internal affairs?

[ Sighs ]

I'll adjust the paperwork.

It'll read "accidental,"
and we'll hope for the best.

Even though the borough thinks
he was sh*t by a perp?

Hopefully, when they
find out he's sick,

They'll leave it be.

Thanks, hank.

Anytime.

Well, maxine,
we got a couple problems.

What?

Well, the first is, you sent us
on a wild goose chase

That resulted
in a cop getting sh*t.

What am i, clairvoyant?

Am I supposed to know
a cop's gonna get sh*t?

Look, I told you
about a russian guy

Who I thought might have
m*rder*d my friend.

That brings up
the second problem,

Which is
lenny just confessed.

Lenny, as in lenny russo?

Mm‐hmm. He said he went there
to burglarize the place.

Debbie walked in,
and he wound up k*lling her.

Oh, god.

I think
I'm gonna be sick.

He says you gave him the key
and the alarm code.

I did?

I think
lenny's gone off the deep end,

Is what I think happened.

Look...

Debbie and her husband
reneged

On putting up money
for his salon.

It's not hard to understand
you thinking something was owed.

You actually believe I had
anything to do with this?

We're just trying to make sense
of what happened.

Why would I get involved with
robbing a girl I grew up with?

For what?

A 5½‐carat
yellow diamond.

You've got the wrong girl.

You do have a key.
You do know the alarm code.

Lenny could've gotten in
by ringing the doorbell.

Debbie
would've let him in.

Then the body wouldn't have
been found in the bedroom.

Then there
is the phone call.

What phone call?

The call lenny made to you
after he k*lled debbie.

Before you say
there was no call,

Keep in mind we're gonna
dump the olshans' phone,

Lenny's phone,
and your phone.

Since what you did
after you got the call

Was you went to the house,
you let yourself in,

And then you pretended
to have discovered the body...

It'd be hard to find a
grand jury that wouldn't indict.

Are you saying I'm responsible
for k*lling her?

It's not up to us to say
what you're responsible for.

All we can do is tell you
that it is in your best interest

To tell the truth.

Me and lenny been working
on avenue "j" for 6½ years.

We weren't looking
for a free ride.

We were just looking
to better ourselves.

Is there anything
so wrong with that?

Not at all.

Then there's debbie,
same as me,

Except now
she marries a rich husband.

And she said
she would help.

Then barry got religion,

And the two of them
start acting

Like they're having god over
for coffee and cake.

And then
she can't do it no more.

And meanwhile, he's laundering
money for drug dealers,

And she used to bang guys
to get a ride to atlantic city.

Lenny's right about one thing,
you know ‐‐

She should have never
said anything

If she wasn't
gonna come through.

You didn't know
lenny was gonna k*ll her.

You figured
by the time she came home,

He'd be long gone.

There was a pair
of diamond earrings

And a double‐stranded
pearl necklace

In her top drawer
of her dressing table.

It was worth $100,000.
We would have been done.

But instead, he decides
to go see what else there is.

And you gave him the key.

Yeah.

Hey,
how's the lieutenant?

He's out of surgery
in icu.

All they're saying
is he's stable.

He had his spleen removed,
and there may be kidney damage.

Jones:
no prognosis, though?
Not yet.

What do we know
about the sh**t?

I got the russian to give us
his name and addresses.

Queens homicide
hit the one in regal park,

And the jersey state police
hit the one in fort lee.

The information
he gave us was good.

We just came up empty.

Are we sitting on them?

That and turning brighton beach
upside down.

What happened with the two
you brought in?

He went to do a burglary and got
walked in on. She set it up.

What do you think
we should do

With the husband's
money laundering?

The guy lost his wife.

Let that be enough punishment
for one day.

I.r.s. Wants to go after him,
that's up to them.

What are they gonna do
for a lieutenant around here?

They'll send in
a covering boss.

What are they doing
with you?

They want me
to work this case.

After that,
I go back downstairs.

Isn't today
detective medavoy's last day?

Oh, I forgot
all about that.

We're gonna throw him
a racket.

We should have done something
for him today.

Let me go talk to him.

[ Sighs ]

You know, uh...
With all that's been going on,

We kind of lost sight of
the fact that you're leaving us.

I have to say, I've been
having second thoughts.

Oh, yeah?

It's no time to be leaving
when one of our own was hit.

I don't know
if that should cause you

To have second thoughts.

I've been part of this squad
for a long time, andy.

When we divided up
the chores

And went with finding out
who did some awful thing,

When we went out
to run them to ground,

I was part of that.

Awful things happen
every day, greg,

And every day, they'll be
dividing up the chores ‐‐

After you're gone,
after I'm gone.

But you're not leaving.

The day will come
when I will be.

And just like you, I'll take
some of this place with me.

Just like you, I'll leave
a part of myself behind.

The important thing
is that you got something

That you're gonna be
going to.

Hmm.

Yeah.

I do.

It's probably right

That you should go
when you planned on it.

Hey, andy.

What?

Can I take your picture
now?

Hey, junior, come here.

Why don't you take a picture
of the two of us.

All right, on three.

One...two...

Three.
