It was a man and a woman.
She was the boss, definitely.
Homeboy looked like he had his brains in his butt.
Wore a necklace that said "Marvin.
" Not Marvin.
You know the guy? Is he a bald guy, a little slow? Yeah, that's him.
Very slow.
Yeah, that's him Marvin Bechamel.
"Born to be caught," we call him.
Ah.

Now? Sure, thanks.
Yuval, get out here! Excuse me.
I'm Detective Delahoy.
This is Detective Banks.
You want to tell us what happened? I'm maria belzer.
My husband, Howard, is very sick.
He has terminal brain cancer.
And this moron lost him.
We didn't lose him.
One of the orderlies said that they saw howard leaving this morning at around 5:15.
He's got a brain tumor, you say? Malignant, inoperable.
It was on his temporal lobe.
In the last three months, Howard lost most of his memory and his ability to speak.
I can't believe this.
We brought my husband to hospice so he could die with dignity, not out on the street like a hobo.
Okay.
Hey, doctor Cook.
Dr.
Cook, with Howard as sick as he is, how far do you think he could go? Well, that's the problem.
out, I pronounced him dead.
Makes me sad to see you here again, Marvin.
I didn't do nothing.
Look, here's a hint.
When you want to stop getting caught, stop wearing the giant necklace that says "Marvin.
" There are a lot of Marvins in this city.
Not that many, actually.
Kind of like how you don't hear about any Eleanors these days.
Mm-Hmm.
Marvin Who's the girl? If I was the guy that robbed that pawnshop, which I'm not, I would never tell you.
That's really interesting, 'cause didn't that guy tell us That he would crack like an egg? Yeah.
He's a liar! Oh, that's not all.
He also said that the pawnshop girl would turn you in in a second.
No way.
We're in love.
She's gonna marry me.
Congratulations.
We're talking about your wedding here, buddy.
I mean, aren't you excited? I mean, I kind of am.
How long have you been arresting me? I've been nothing my whole life nobody.
Only girls that would even look at me had neck hair or one eye that didn't work right.
But this girl she's like cotton candy.
Oh, that is so beautiful.
What's her name? Rose.
Rose.
I mean Carmelita.
So, where does Rose-I-mean-Carmelita live? Marvin? Marvin! Come on, man.
I mean, you can do whatever you want to me, Walsh.
But this girl she's my lucky day.
And I'm never gonna give her up.
Never.
All these chicks are ugly.
Where's the book with the hot chicks? Howard Belzer.
"B" as in "breast," e- L-Z-E-R.
Last seen on Jefferson and Henry.
Look, so, the guy dies, and then what? What, he gets better? I don't know.
I mean, you saw the hospice doctor.
She was 12.
Probably mispronounced him.
Happens all the time.
All the time? How would you know? I know things, Leo.
"The first sentence of the books of Bokonon is this All the true things I'm about to tell you are shameless lies.
" What is that? It's the book next to Howard's bed.
You know, I got curious.
I figure, guy gets to read one last book before he dies.
You know, why's he choose this one? You stole the dude's book? Hey, Banks, Delahoy.
Someone just called in your missing person.
There's a disturbance at a key food, Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn.
And, Alvarez, in my office now! What's happened to you? Uh, just bumped my head getting out of the car.
Hey, grab your coat.
Weren't you wearing that yesterday? Come on.
We got a case.
What case? No questions.
And don't tell anyone where we're going.
I don't know where we're going.
Whoa, that's her! That's her! Stop! What? I I just saw her the latina chick from the shop.
Which one? Charley, she was just here.
Walsh! Oh, Walsh, Shraeger.
You caught another robbery bridal shop.
This could be your girl.
Alvarez! Damn, it's cold.
What was that back there? Don't worry about it.
Are you hurt? Look, we're looking for a female, late 20s, brunette.
What did she do? Held up a pawnshop on 16th street.
Walsh and Shraeger caught that case.
Well, we got to find her before Walsh does.
Why? Allison, wh Casey.
Walsh, I'm gonna Yeah, I'll Yeah.
I'll be in the car.
Is this a bad time? Yeah, pretty bad.
Um, these are for you.
They're, uh, sego lilies, the, uh, state flower of Utah.
That'd be really sweet if I was a mormon.
Casey, please.
I'm sorry about last week.
I was an idiot.
But you're gonna forgive me.
I am? Yes, because I'm a good guy and a good friend.
You don't have that many friends.
Also, I'm very tall.
Give me the stupid flowers.
Now you're gonna let me take you out to dinner.
Why? Because it's gonna be fun.
We'll go someplace expensive.
You can even order the lobster.
Okay, so, this would be A date? Yes.
I'll make you a deal If you don't have a good time, you can mace me.
I get off at 6:00.
Now go away.
Okay.
What's up, sarge? People don't like you.
S Sarge, I I'm not done.
If I made I'm not done.
If I could Not done.
Shh, shh.
Can I just Shut up.
Okay.
You're not a team guy.
You think you're better than everybody else.
Now, some cops can get away with that kind of thing, the whole lone-wolf thing Delahoy, for example, not you.
I had a lot of friends in high school.
Doubt it.
No.
You're you're right.
Look, headquarters wants us to hold a team-building exercise.
I told them I thought it was stupid.
But then I thought this is the perfect opportunity for Ed Alvarez to learn what being part of a team is.
So, you want me to participate in the No.
I want you to design the exercise.
I want you to show me that you understand what the true nature of team is.
I will not let you down.
What do you got? Manager says this old guy stumbled in about half an hour ago, made a scene.
First I just thought the guy was stoned.
He was walking real slow, kind of moaning.
How'd that happen? It's kind of hard to describe.
Give it a shot.
Kid over there got it on video.
All right.
Excuse me.
What's your name? Screw you.
Nice mouth.
You kiss your mother with that mouth? Kissed yours last night.
Okay, face the chips.
Give me the phone.
Funnyman.
Eric.
Yeah? This is not a missing person.
He's a zombie.
Hey, detectives.
How you doing? Witness heard yelling, saw a black male, white female run out.
Female she matches the description of your suspect.
Thanks, appreciate it.
You got it.
Poor Marvin.
Wait till he finds out that his fiancée's cheating on him with another felon.
You know what this is, don't you? What? It's a crime slut.
Crime slut? Yeah, it's classic.
Girl tells a guy that he's her only accomplice.
Meanwhile, she's pulling jobs with half the guys in town.
Detectives.
Yeah? Take a look at this.
What do you got? It's a recording.
Report said the clerk's at Bellevue with a fractured skull.
See, I wouldn't have gone with the backless though it does look good on her.
I'll say.
So, Rose is going out with Marvin, huh? Well, engaged, according to him.
And we catch Marvin.
Which clearly she was all broken up about.
And this morning she decides to hit up a pawnshop, steal some jewelry, and then hit up a bridal store and grab one of these dresses.
I think our crime slut is trying to steal a wedding.
Howard Belzer, right.
I mean, guy lives in the West Village.
Hospice is on Jefferson.
Wife said he grew up in schenectady, right? So why does he go to Brooklyn? He's a zombie.
There's no "why.
" He's sick, right? He's got brain damage.
He's got no wallet.
He's got no keys.
Can't get on the subway without a card.
Can't get on a bus without cash.
So, even if he walks, all right, why does he go to Brooklyn? Listen to me carefully.
The only problem with chasing a zombie is catching a zombie.
He's not a zombie.
You saw that footage the shuffle, the moaning, the blood.
It was tomato juice, okay? What is he, a vegetarian zombie? You know what? I cannot deal with this right now.
Be on the lookout for a white female and a black male, both armed, last seen exiting Klaire Bishop dress shop on 16th.
Bridget Demopolis.
What? Dispatch that's her name.
Wait, how do you I know things.
Plus, I did a little research.
She's single.
Hey, listen, man, when you sex her up, have her talk dirty to you through a tin can.
It really captures that dispatch flavor.
Why you got to make everything so ugly? Detective beautiful.
Handsome Jim.
Listen, we're looking for a stick-up artist female, real looker.
I got 20 bucks for a name, $50 for an address.
Yeah? Who's the cub scout here? He's my partner.
Can you help me? Well, maybe if your partner's got something to do.
I'm gonna get a dog.
You want something? No, thank you.
You know, my daddy choked to death on a hot dog once.
But I don't care.
I'm not afraid.
You know what I mean? 'Cause I'm courageous.
Don't turn around.
Hey, looky here.
Detective Navan Henry Granger Cole.
Walk away, Frank.
My partner's back there.
She can't see Don't look! Oh, punch a drunk.
Please tell me you hit that.
You hit that, right? Leave, Frank.
$2.
50.
Will you pay this man his money, Navan? Walk away, Frank, get out of the park, and don't look back.
Hey, I took a look at this, uh, this Detective Walsh you've been telling me about.
Two words for you big girl.
Not even.
You just give me the word.
I know this jamaican fella.
He owes me a favor.
We'll make it look like an accident.
Now, what do you say? Huh, what? It's genius, right? It's kung fu.
Aah! Absolutely not.
No, I hear you.
I hear you.
Too many loose ends.
One of us should probably do it.
Walk away, Frank.
Walk away.
Rose trumble.
Got an address.
She squats on Plymouth.
You okay? Yeah, I'm good.
Guy's just harassing somebody.
Marvin, we've got some bad news.
Your girl ain't your girl no more.
No way.
Yeah.
Two hours ago your Rose and some black guy.
Boutique on orchard.
Stole a dress, assaulted a clerk.
Looks like the wedding's still on.
Just not with you.
I don't buy it.
We cased that store together.
That was gonna be our dress.
Look, Marvin You're not a dumb guy.
You know what Rose is, don't you? Yeah.
She's a crime slut.
That's right.
Now you need to tell us where Rose is.
Rose Trumble.
She squats in an abandoned on Plymouth.
She was my lucky day.
Sorry about that, bud.
Walsh.
Hey, Walsh.
It's not a good time, Eddie.
Yeah, sure, it's just that, hey, look, uh, you're good with the whole team thing.
And I'm supposed to be designing This whole team-building exercise.
I'll go get the car.
Okay.
All right.
Make it fast.
No, I just you know, if you had any pointers.
You ever been on a team, like, you know, baseball, football? Oh, yeah.
I was in the debate club.
No, Eddie.
A team, you know? Like a group of people where if someone gets in a fight, everyone gets in a fight.
Yeah, see, the thing is, Eddie Alvarez is more of a leader Than a than a pack animal.
Eddie, come on, listen, man.
You you can't lead a team until you're in it.
Okay? You got to be in it.
Myrtle Avenue.
How far could the guy go? He was dead this morning.
Pickup for Brown, please.
Hey.
Where are we on the zombie thing? He's not a zombie.
He's got cancer of the brain.
The last time anybody saw him, he was at a key foods in Brooklyn.
That's a great book.
What, you read that? Yeah, I had the A.
P.
english in high school, you know.
Mostly period stuff, heathcliff on the moors, Et cetera, et cetera.
I don't know what that means.
On the surface, see, it's about the end of the world.
But really it's about how your family's not your family.
Who are they, then? Uh, well, technically they're your family, too.
But it's really the people that you meet you know, the ones that keep popping up.
Your friends, your co-workers they're really your family.
It's a great book.
"The end will be the same as the beginning.
" The end will be the same as the beginning.
It's a fortune cookie.
You're looking for the meaning of life? No, but I think I know why Howard went to Brooklyn.
Okay.
I could never be a slut.
How do you know unless you try? I just have no interest in seeing that many penises.
Knock, knock.
Freeze.
Put your hands behind your head.
Get up.
Turn around.
Walk backwards towards me.
Okay.
Keep your hands behind your head.
All right, all right.
Clear.
We're clear.
What's your name? Wiley.
Where's Rose? Police! Don't move! It's us! It's us.
What are you guys doing here? We got a a tip on a gun.
Gun! Watch him.
Stay down! Too slow.
Damn it! So, Wiley Probst.
Busted last year on an insider-trading charge.
What are you doing with a loaded gun in the middle of a robbery? I don't know what you're talking about.
You know the clerk's in intensive care with a broken skull.
Oh.
Sorry.
Is this the guy? I'll kill him.
No, Marvin! She loves me, not you.
Get him out of here! She loves me! Get him out of here.
Not you, me! She loves me! Rose! That was awkward.
Who the hell is that guy? That was Rose's fiancé.
The jealous type.
Guess you guys can share a cell, maybe, at rikers together.
Yeah, I can arrange that for you if you'd like.
A nice little quiet spot away from the guard station.
Please.
I'm just a stockbroker.
That crazy bitch ruined my life.
How's that? Last year she saw an article about my arrest in the paper, wrote to me in prison.
Then she came to visit.
Hey you ever had conjugal trailer sex? Dude, it is insane.
And then I get out.
She stops calling.
What the hell, right? I spend six months going crazy.
Hottest girl in my life, and she got away.
Then this morning I get a call.
She says she loves me.
She's been an idiot, thinks we should get married.
But it has to be tonight.
Why tonight? I don't know.
She wouldn't tell me.
I swear to God, I never meant to hurt anybody.
Okay.
Write it down.
Hi.
I'm the stupidest man alive.
So, that supermarket that Howard trashed used to be an elementary school in the '70s.
Yeah, so? Yeah, so, I don't know.
But I went to family court in Brooklyn, and guess what.
Howard Belzer didn't used to be Howard Belzer.
He was Howard Feldman.
A jewish zombie.
Okay, he's not a zombie, all right? He's got a brain tumor.
So give the guy a little dignity, okay? Okay.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Anyway, Howard Feldman grew up on Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn, right? His parents were Nate and Cora Feldman.
Howard was a happy kid, a good student, until his parents died when he was 8 years old got killed in a car crash.
A year later the Belzers adopted him, moved to Schenectady.
So Howard is trying to go home? Back to happy-kid land.
You know, one more time before, uh before he dies.
Yeah, all right, so let's try to find an address.
All right? Make her eyes more intense.
Hey.
Hey, that's her latina chick from the shop.
Hey, choir boy, where's Beaumont? Uh, chinese place, picking up lunch.
Well, if she shows up, you call me.
Yeah.
Yeah, bye.
What's up? Pawnbroker said a latina woman was in the shop when it got robbed.
Crime slut stole her watch.
Does that look like, uh, anyone you know? It's Walsh's watch.
He lent it to me, and I'm just trying to get it back.
Why so secretive? Walsh is a reasonable guy.
You got robbed.
Just tell him.
I can't.
Why not? Allison, the only way this job works is if we trust each other.
I'm broke, okay? I can't pay my rent, my phone's turned off, and my landlord's evicting me.
Why? My pay's docked $1,500 a month.
It's, uh, from a civil case from when I was on foot patrol.
Perp's neck got broke during an arrest.
It was an accident.
And the guy's fine now.
He's walking.
But I still have to pay.
And what's left over is not enough to live on.
You should tell Walsh.
No.
Why not? You're sleeping with Walsh.
Shraeger.
Hey, Walsh.
Uh, yeah, I'm on my way.
Okay.
You're not gonna tell him, are you? Look, she's in a lot of trouble, Mrs.
Trumble.
So we need you to tell us where Rose is.
Were you at all aware that your daughter was gonna get married? Oh, that Rose.
She's such a silly little girl.
She'd do anything for her daddy.
Daddy? My ex.
He's been in and out of jail all her life.
Two days ago he got himself sentenced to 25 to life.
He goes away tomorrow.
He told Rrose that all he wants before he goes away is to see her get married.
And Rose wants to make him happy.
Have you ever been married, Detective Walsh? No, ma'am.
Wedding night can be quite memorable.
Listen, we know that rose dated a lot of guys.
But was there anyone in particular that she would want to marry? Rose? That girl she's been using men all her life.
I don't know where she got it from.
Do you know where she is? She was here about an hour ago.
She came in wanting one of my old wedding dresses.
So the wedding's still on? Tonight.
I guess now my question is, um, do you know who the groom is? Okay, everybody, listen up.
We got a possible on our stick-up team.
Looks like there's gonna be a wedding tonight, so I want everybody bright and shiny.
Now, there's not a lot of places to get married in New York after dark.
But we found four chapels that stay open late.
It could be a long night.
Also, we're not sure who the groom is yet.
But our girl likes to write to inmates, so we're checking with corrections.
So, Shraeger and Walsh will cover the chapel in Soho.
Beaumont and Cole, you're in little ltaly.
Banks and Delahoy, you take uptown.
No, no, we can't do it.
We're on our way to Brooklyn for that missing-persons thing.
Yeah, yeah.
Uh, Donovan and Hancock, you take spanish Harlem.
I'll head to Battery Park.
Now, remember, our suspect busted a guy's skull and fired on four police.
So be careful, please.
Hey, so, listen, if you find her before I'll call.
Thanks.
Look alive! Let's move out! Sarge! Load 'em up, load 'em up! Let's go! Tell her I love her.
No.
Sarge! I'm coming with you.
Don't you have a team-building exercise to be working on? Ah, trick question, right? 'Cause even Eddie Alvarez knows that nothing strengthens a team more than jackbooting a wedding with a tactical unit, putting a New York-style hurt on the bride.
You're learning.
Where is it? I don't know.
Should be here.
They must have put a park over howard's old house.
This is crazy.
You said yourself, the guy's got brain damage.
Oh.
10 miles between the elementary school and the house.
Walking at a shuffle, he'll be here in about an hour or so.
Listen, we got patrol cars circling.
If he's out there, they'll find him.
Hey, listen, man, you go back.
I'll stay.
It's all right, really.
Right, and I'm supposed to, what, leave you here? I called the hub.
And, uh, bridget gets off work at around 7:00.
You take the car.
Huh? You hurry, you can make it there in time.
Dude, please, ask her out already, okay, before you get struck by lightning or, you know, a piano falls on your head.
Okay.
You need anything, you call me, all right? All right.
I just hope they make antibacterial condoms.
Good luck.
Since we've been sitting here, If you chip you drop 40 I.
Q.
points.
Oh, God.
Hey, we're gonna be sitting here all night, right? Probably.
Both of us don't have to sit in the car.
What do you mean? Well, one of us the one of us that could be on a date right now could potentially go enjoy a scintillating uzbeki dinner while watching the chapel across the street.
You want to go out on a stakeout date? Is that so wrong? No.
But whatever.
No, it's good.
Just maybe just get me a cheeseburger or something, if they have pick and pickles! Pickles! I love pickles.
You know, you can tell me anything.
I know.
I don't judge.
It's not christian.
This case just proves that everything stupid anyone ever did in life they did for love.
He likes you.
Who? Jason.
He likes you.
I can tell.
Oh, Henry Cole, you really are a badass detective.
Can I sit here? Sure.
Or, no.
Oh, no, no.
Actually, let's sit in this, uh, seat.
This is better.
Better view.
All right.
Okay.
There there you go.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Uh you didn't want to go to Nobu or something? Oh, no, no, no.
Who wants to go eat ritzy sushi and watch celebrities when you can enjoy authentic lagman from the central plains of outer Mongolia? I hear you.
So, uh, busy day? Always.
I had a promiscuous woman with a wedding fetish try to murder me with a shotgun.
Casey.
I'm still here, though.
You know what looks really good? The oolag.
Actually, I'm curious.
How did you know you wanted to be a cop? Well, I always loved doughnuts, and uh, what about you? Come from money? Rich kid? No, my dad's a mailman in Pittsburgh.
I have six brothers.
Three of them are truckers.
So, how come you always, you know, look so What? Well-educated? Well-dressed? Come on, don't be a snob.
The elevator goes both ways.
Oh, crap.
What? No, no, no, no.
I have to go.
I don't understand.
I'm working.
I thought I could do both.
Uh, Casey? Call me Jonah.
My parents did, or nearly did.
They called me john.
I was a christian then.
I'm a bokononist now.
We bokononists believe that humanity is organized into teams Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the eyes of God Teams that do God's will without ever discovering what they are doing.
All right, she's armed, she's dangerous, and she's desperate to get married.
Let's go.
Such a team is called a karass.
If you find your life tangled up with someone else's life that person may be a member of your karass.
Around back.
Yeah.
Nowhere does bokonon warn against a person's trying to discover the limits of his karass.
But such investigations are bound to be incomplete.
As bokonon tells us, anyone who thinks he sees what God is doing is a fool.
Hey.
Remember me? Oh! Hello.
What's this? "Hi, my name is Leo.
" That's funny.
I'm a leo, too August 5th.
"You are very beautiful.
" Oh, Leo.
You're gonna make me blush.
"Maybe we can go out sometime.
" Oh, wait, are you asking me on a date? Oh, I don't know.
You don't talk very much.
But then again, I talk all the time.
I talk in my sleep, so I've been told.
I even laugh in my sleep.
Did you ever know anyone who laughs in their sleep? You know, I really like your vest.
Yeah, I think you and I are gonna get along famously.
Hi.
Hi.
I hope you like rugelach.
You came all the way over here to bring me a jewish pastry? No, stupid.
I came all the way over here to have sex with you.
Oh, uh, right.
Get out of my way.
Yeah.
Okay.
What a day.
You have no idea.
You sure? Mm yeah.
I lied to you.
There was no gun tip.
I was in the pawnshop this morning because I'm broke.
I can't pay my rent.
So I was selling my jewelry and the crime slut came in and she took your watch.
Well, that's okay 'Cause I knew.

Caught an armed robbery pawnshop.
It was a man and a woman.
She was the boss, definitely.
Homeboy looked like he had his brains in his butt.
Wore a necklace that said "Marvin.
" Not Marvin.
You know the guy? Is he a bald guy, a little slow? Yeah, that's him.
Very slow.
Yeah, that's him Marvin Bechamel.
"Born to be caught," we call him.
Ah.
What'd they take? Necklace and some earrings.
Left the cash.
Oh, bad girl grabbed the watch off this other woman.
Other woman? Hispanic.
Also very sexy.
Today was a good day for ass in my house.
Nice.

Mama with the gun yoinked the watch, said, "something borrowed," took off.
Hispanic chick chased them out of the store.
All right, we're gonna need you to come down to the station, look at a few pictures.
Now? Sure, thanks.
Yuval, get out here! Excuse me.
I'm Detective Delahoy.
This is Detective Banks.
You want to tell us what happened? I'm maria belzer.
My husband, Howard, is very sick.
He has terminal brain cancer.
And this moron lost him.
We didn't lose him.
One of the orderlies said that they saw howard leaving this morning at around 5:15.
He's got a brain tumor, you say? Malignant, inoperable.
It was on his temporal lobe.
In the last three months, Howard lost most of his memory and his ability to speak.
I can't believe this.
We brought my husband to hospice so he could die with dignity, not out on the street like a hobo.
Okay.
Hey, doctor Cook.
Dr.
Cook, with Howard as sick as he is, how far do you think he could go? Well, that's the problem.
out, I pronounced him dead.
Makes me sad to see you here again, Marvin.
I didn't do nothing.
Look, here's a hint.
When you want to stop getting caught, stop wearing the giant necklace that says "Marvin.
" There are a lot of Marvins in this city.
Not that many, actually.
Kind of like how you don't hear about any Eleanors these days.
Mm-Hmm.
Marvin Who's the girl? If I was the guy that robbed that pawnshop, which I'm not, I would never tell you.
That's really interesting, 'cause didn't that guy tell us That he would crack like an egg? Yeah.
He's a liar! Oh, that's not all.
He also said that the pawnshop girl would turn you in in a second.
No way.
We're in love.
She's gonna marry me.
Congratulations.
We're talking about your wedding here, buddy.
I mean, aren't you excited? I mean, I kind of am.
How long have you been arresting me? I've been nothing my whole life nobody.
Only girls that would even look at me had neck hair or one eye that didn't work right.
But this girl she's like cotton candy.
Oh, that is so beautiful.
What's her name? Rose.
Rose.
I mean Carmelita.
So, where does Rose-I-mean-Carmelita live? Marvin? Marvin! Come on, man.
I mean, you can do whatever you want to me, Walsh.
But this girl she's my lucky day.
And I'm never gonna give her up.
Never.
All these chicks are ugly.
Where's the book with the hot chicks? Howard Belzer.
"B" as in "breast," e- L-Z-E-R.
Last seen on Jefferson and Henry.
Look, so, the guy dies, and then what? What, he gets better? I don't know.
I mean, you saw the hospice doctor.
She was 12.
Probably mispronounced him.
Happens all the time.
All the time? How would you know? I know things, Leo.
"The first sentence of the books of Bokonon is this All the true things I'm about to tell you are shameless lies.
" What is that? It's the book next to Howard's bed.
You know, I got curious.
I figure, guy gets to read one last book before he dies.
You know, why's he choose this one? You stole the dude's book? Hey, Banks, Delahoy.
Someone just called in your missing person.
There's a disturbance at a key food, Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn.
And, Alvarez, in my office now! What's happened to you? Uh, just bumped my head getting out of the car.
Hey, grab your coat.
Weren't you wearing that yesterday? Come on.
We got a case.
What case? No questions.
And don't tell anyone where we're going.
I don't know where we're going.
Whoa, that's her! That's her! Stop! What? I I just saw her the latina chick from the shop.
Which one? Charley, she was just here.
Walsh! Oh, Walsh, Shraeger.
You caught another robbery bridal shop.
This could be your girl.
Alvarez! Damn, it's cold.
What was that back there? Don't worry about it.
Are you hurt? Look, we're looking for a female, late 20s, brunette.
What did she do? Held up a pawnshop on 16th street.
Walsh and Shraeger caught that case.
Well, we got to find her before Walsh does.
Why? Allison, wh Casey.
Walsh, I'm gonna Yeah, I'll Yeah.
I'll be in the car.
Is this a bad time? Yeah, pretty bad.
Um, these are for you.
They're, uh, sego lilies, the, uh, state flower of Utah.
That'd be really sweet if I was a mormon.
Casey, please.
I'm sorry about last week.
I was an idiot.
But you're gonna forgive me.
I am? Yes, because I'm a good guy and a good friend.
You don't have that many friends.
Also, I'm very tall.
Give me the stupid flowers.
Now you're gonna let me take you out to dinner.
Why? Because it's gonna be fun.
We'll go someplace expensive.
You can even order the lobster.
Okay, so, this would be A date? Yes.
I'll make you a deal If you don't have a good time, you can mace me.
I get off at 6:00.
Now go away.
Okay.
What's up, sarge? People don't like you.
S Sarge, I I'm not done.
If I made I'm not done.
If I could Not done.
Shh, shh.
Can I just Shut up.
Okay.
You're not a team guy.
You think you're better than everybody else.
Now, some cops can get away with that kind of thing, the whole lone-wolf thing Delahoy, for example, not you.
I had a lot of friends in high school.
Doubt it.
No.
You're you're right.
Look, headquarters wants us to hold a team-building exercise.
I told them I thought it was stupid.
But then I thought this is the perfect opportunity for Ed Alvarez to learn what being part of a team is.
So, you want me to participate in the No.
I want you to design the exercise.
I want you to show me that you understand what the true nature of team is.
I will not let you down.
What do you got? Manager says this old guy stumbled in about half an hour ago, made a scene.
First I just thought the guy was stoned.
He was walking real slow, kind of moaning.
How'd that happen? It's kind of hard to describe.
Give it a shot.
Kid over there got it on video.
All right.
Excuse me.
What's your name? Screw you.
Nice mouth.
You kiss your mother with that mouth? Kissed yours last night.
Okay, face the chips.
Give me the phone.
Funnyman.
Eric.
Yeah? This is not a missing person.
He's a zombie.
Hey, detectives.
How you doing? Witness heard yelling, saw a black male, white female run out.
Female she matches the description of your suspect.
Thanks, appreciate it.
You got it.
Poor Marvin.
Wait till he finds out that his fiancée's cheating on him with another felon.
You know what this is, don't you? What? It's a crime slut.
Crime slut? Yeah, it's classic.
Girl tells a guy that he's her only accomplice.
Meanwhile, she's pulling jobs with half the guys in town.
Detectives.
Yeah? Take a look at this.
What do you got? It's a recording.
Report said the clerk's at Bellevue with a fractured skull.
See, I wouldn't have gone with the backless though it does look good on her.
I'll say.
So, Rose is going out with Marvin, huh? Well, engaged, according to him.
And we catch Marvin.
Which clearly she was all broken up about.
And this morning she decides to hit up a pawnshop, steal some jewelry, and then hit up a bridal store and grab one of these dresses.
I think our crime slut is trying to steal a wedding.
Howard Belzer, right.
I mean, guy lives in the West Village.
Hospice is on Jefferson.
Wife said he grew up in schenectady, right? So why does he go to Brooklyn? He's a zombie.
There's no "why.
" He's sick, right? He's got brain damage.
He's got no wallet.
He's got no keys.
Can't get on the subway without a card.
Can't get on a bus without cash.
So, even if he walks, all right, why does he go to Brooklyn? Listen to me carefully.
The only problem with chasing a zombie is catching a zombie.
He's not a zombie.
You saw that footage the shuffle, the moaning, the blood.
It was tomato juice, okay? What is he, a vegetarian zombie? You know what? I cannot deal with this right now.
Be on the lookout for a white female and a black male, both armed, last seen exiting Klaire Bishop dress shop on 16th.
Bridget Demopolis.
What? Dispatch that's her name.
Wait, how do you I know things.
Plus, I did a little research.
She's single.
Hey, listen, man, when you sex her up, have her talk dirty to you through a tin can.
It really captures that dispatch flavor.
Why you got to make everything so ugly? Detective beautiful.
Handsome Jim.
Listen, we're looking for a stick-up artist female, real looker.
I got 20 bucks for a name, $50 for an address.
Yeah? Who's the cub scout here? He's my partner.
Can you help me? Well, maybe if your partner's got something to do.
I'm gonna get a dog.
You want something? No, thank you.
You know, my daddy choked to death on a hot dog once.
But I don't care.
I'm not afraid.
You know what I mean? 'Cause I'm courageous.
Don't turn around.
Hey, looky here.
Detective Navan Henry Granger Cole.
Walk away, Frank.
My partner's back there.
She can't see Don't look! Oh, punch a drunk.
Please tell me you hit that.
You hit that, right? Leave, Frank.
$2.
50.
Will you pay this man his money, Navan? Walk away, Frank, get out of the park, and don't look back.
Hey, I took a look at this, uh, this Detective Walsh you've been telling me about.
Two words for you big girl.
Not even.
You just give me the word.
I know this jamaican fella.
He owes me a favor.
We'll make it look like an accident.
Now, what do you say? Huh, what? It's genius, right? It's kung fu.
Aah! Absolutely not.
No, I hear you.
I hear you.
Too many loose ends.
One of us should probably do it.
Walk away, Frank.
Walk away.
Rose trumble.
Got an address.
She squats on Plymouth.
You okay? Yeah, I'm good.
Guy's just harassing somebody.
Marvin, we've got some bad news.
Your girl ain't your girl no more.
No way.
Yeah.
Two hours ago your Rose and some black guy.
Boutique on orchard.
Stole a dress, assaulted a clerk.
Looks like the wedding's still on.
Just not with you.
I don't buy it.
We cased that store together.
That was gonna be our dress.
Look, Marvin You're not a dumb guy.
You know what Rose is, don't you? Yeah.
She's a crime slut.
That's right.
Now you need to tell us where Rose is.
Rose Trumble.
She squats in an abandoned on Plymouth.
She was my lucky day.
Sorry about that, bud.
Walsh.
Hey, Walsh.
It's not a good time, Eddie.
Yeah, sure, it's just that, hey, look, uh, you're good with the whole team thing.
And I'm supposed to be designing This whole team-building exercise.
I'll go get the car.
Okay.
All right.
Make it fast.
No, I just you know, if you had any pointers.
You ever been on a team, like, you know, baseball, football? Oh, yeah.
I was in the debate club.
No, Eddie.
A team, you know? Like a group of people where if someone gets in a fight, everyone gets in a fight.
Yeah, see, the thing is, Eddie Alvarez is more of a leader Than a than a pack animal.
Eddie, come on, listen, man.
You you can't lead a team until you're in it.
Okay? You got to be in it.
Myrtle Avenue.
How far could the guy go? He was dead this morning.
Pickup for Brown, please.
Hey.
Where are we on the zombie thing? He's not a zombie.
He's got cancer of the brain.
The last time anybody saw him, he was at a key foods in Brooklyn.
That's a great book.
What, you read that? Yeah, I had the A.
P.
english in high school, you know.
Mostly period stuff, heathcliff on the moors, Et cetera, et cetera.
I don't know what that means.
On the surface, see, it's about the end of the world.
But really it's about how your family's not your family.
Who are they, then? Uh, well, technically they're your family, too.
But it's really the people that you meet you know, the ones that keep popping up.
Your friends, your co-workers they're really your family.
It's a great book.
"The end will be the same as the beginning.
" The end will be the same as the beginning.
It's a fortune cookie.
You're looking for the meaning of life? No, but I think I know why Howard went to Brooklyn.
Okay.
I could never be a slut.
How do you know unless you try? I just have no interest in seeing that many penises.
Knock, knock.
Freeze.
Put your hands behind your head.
Get up.
Turn around.
Walk backwards towards me.
Okay.
Keep your hands behind your head.
All right, all right.
Clear.
We're clear.
What's your name? Wiley.
Where's Rose? Police! Don't move! It's us! It's us.
What are you guys doing here? We got a a tip on a gun.
Gun! Watch him.
Stay down! Too slow.
Damn it! So, Wiley Probst.
Busted last year on an insider-trading charge.
What are you doing with a loaded gun in the middle of a robbery? I don't know what you're talking about.
You know the clerk's in intensive care with a broken skull.
Oh.
Sorry.
Is this the guy? I'll kill him.
No, Marvin! She loves me, not you.
Get him out of here! She loves me! Get him out of here.
Not you, me! She loves me! Rose! That was awkward.
Who the hell is that guy? That was Rose's fiancé.
The jealous type.
Guess you guys can share a cell, maybe, at rikers together.
Yeah, I can arrange that for you if you'd like.
A nice little quiet spot away from the guard station.
Please.
I'm just a stockbroker.
That crazy bitch ruined my life.
How's that? Last year she saw an article about my arrest in the paper, wrote to me in prison.
Then she came to visit.
Hey you ever had conjugal trailer sex? Dude, it is insane.
And then I get out.
She stops calling.
What the hell, right? I spend six months going crazy.
Hottest girl in my life, and she got away.
Then this morning I get a call.
She says she loves me.
She's been an idiot, thinks we should get married.
But it has to be tonight.
Why tonight? I don't know.
She wouldn't tell me.
I swear to God, I never meant to hurt anybody.
Okay.
Write it down.
Hi.
I'm the stupidest man alive.
So, that supermarket that Howard trashed used to be an elementary school in the '70s.
Yeah, so? Yeah, so, I don't know.
But I went to family court in Brooklyn, and guess what.
Howard Belzer didn't used to be Howard Belzer.
He was Howard Feldman.
A jewish zombie.
Okay, he's not a zombie, all right? He's got a brain tumor.
So give the guy a little dignity, okay? Okay.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Anyway, Howard Feldman grew up on Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn, right? His parents were Nate and Cora Feldman.
Howard was a happy kid, a good student, until his parents died when he was 8 years old got killed in a car crash.
A year later the Belzers adopted him, moved to Schenectady.
So Howard is trying to go home? Back to happy-kid land.
You know, one more time before, uh before he dies.
Yeah, all right, so let's try to find an address.
All right? Make her eyes more intense.
Hey.
Hey, that's her latina chick from the shop.
Hey, choir boy, where's Beaumont? Uh, chinese place, picking up lunch.
Well, if she shows up, you call me.
Yeah.
Yeah, bye.
What's up? Pawnbroker said a latina woman was in the shop when it got robbed.
Crime slut stole her watch.
Does that look like, uh, anyone you know? It's Walsh's watch.
He lent it to me, and I'm just trying to get it back.
Why so secretive? Walsh is a reasonable guy.
You got robbed.
Just tell him.
I can't.
Why not? Allison, the only way this job works is if we trust each other.
I'm broke, okay? I can't pay my rent, my phone's turned off, and my landlord's evicting me.
Why? My pay's docked $1,500 a month.
It's, uh, from a civil case from when I was on foot patrol.
Perp's neck got broke during an arrest.
It was an accident.
And the guy's fine now.
He's walking.
But I still have to pay.
And what's left over is not enough to live on.
You should tell Walsh.
No.
Why not? You're sleeping with Walsh.
Shraeger.
Hey, Walsh.
Uh, yeah, I'm on my way.
Okay.
You're not gonna tell him, are you? Look, she's in a lot of trouble, Mrs.
Trumble.
So we need you to tell us where Rose is.
Were you at all aware that your daughter was gonna get married? Oh, that Rose.
She's such a silly little girl.
She'd do anything for her daddy.
Daddy? My ex.
He's been in and out of jail all her life.
Two days ago he got himself sentenced to 25 to life.
He goes away tomorrow.
He told Rrose that all he wants before he goes away is to see her get married.
And Rose wants to make him happy.
Have you ever been married, Detective Walsh? No, ma'am.
Wedding night can be quite memorable.
Listen, we know that rose dated a lot of guys.
But was there anyone in particular that she would want to marry? Rose? That girl she's been using men all her life.
I don't know where she got it from.
Do you know where she is? She was here about an hour ago.
She came in wanting one of my old wedding dresses.
So the wedding's still on? Tonight.
I guess now my question is, um, do you know who the groom is? Okay, everybody, listen up.
We got a possible on our stick-up team.
Looks like there's gonna be a wedding tonight, so I want everybody bright and shiny.
Now, there's not a lot of places to get married in New York after dark.
But we found four chapels that stay open late.
It could be a long night.
Also, we're not sure who the groom is yet.
But our girl likes to write to inmates, so we're checking with corrections.
So, Shraeger and Walsh will cover the chapel in Soho.
Beaumont and Cole, you're in little ltaly.
Banks and Delahoy, you take uptown.
No, no, we can't do it.
We're on our way to Brooklyn for that missing-persons thing.
Yeah, yeah.
Uh, Donovan and Hancock, you take spanish Harlem.
I'll head to Battery Park.
Now, remember, our suspect busted a guy's skull and fired on four police.
So be careful, please.
Hey, so, listen, if you find her before I'll call.
Thanks.
Look alive! Let's move out! Sarge! Load 'em up, load 'em up! Let's go! Tell her I love her.
No.
Sarge! I'm coming with you.
Don't you have a team-building exercise to be working on? Ah, trick question, right? 'Cause even Eddie Alvarez knows that nothing strengthens a team more than jackbooting a wedding with a tactical unit, putting a New York-style hurt on the bride.
You're learning.
Where is it? I don't know.
Should be here.
They must have put a park over howard's old house.
This is crazy.
You said yourself, the guy's got brain damage.
Oh.
10 miles between the elementary school and the house.
Walking at a shuffle, he'll be here in about an hour or so.
Listen, we got patrol cars circling.
If he's out there, they'll find him.
Hey, listen, man, you go back.
I'll stay.
It's all right, really.
Right, and I'm supposed to, what, leave you here? I called the hub.
And, uh, bridget gets off work at around 7:00.
You take the car.
Huh? You hurry, you can make it there in time.
Dude, please, ask her out already, okay, before you get struck by lightning or, you know, a piano falls on your head.
Okay.
You need anything, you call me, all right? All right.
I just hope they make antibacterial condoms.
Good luck.
Since we've been sitting here, If you chip you drop 40 I.
Q.
points.
Oh, God.
Hey, we're gonna be sitting here all night, right? Probably.
Both of us don't have to sit in the car.
What do you mean? Well, one of us the one of us that could be on a date right now could potentially go enjoy a scintillating uzbeki dinner while watching the chapel across the street.
You want to go out on a stakeout date? Is that so wrong? No.
But whatever.
No, it's good.
Just maybe just get me a cheeseburger or something, if they have pick and pickles! Pickles! I love pickles.
You know, you can tell me anything.
I know.
I don't judge.
It's not christian.
This case just proves that everything stupid anyone ever did in life they did for love.
He likes you.
Who? Jason.
He likes you.
I can tell.
Oh, Henry Cole, you really are a badass detective.
Can I sit here? Sure.
Or, no.
Oh, no, no.
Actually, let's sit in this, uh, seat.
This is better.
Better view.
All right.
Okay.
There there you go.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Uh you didn't want to go to Nobu or something? Oh, no, no, no.
Who wants to go eat ritzy sushi and watch celebrities when you can enjoy authentic lagman from the central plains of outer Mongolia? I hear you.
So, uh, busy day? Always.
I had a promiscuous woman with a wedding fetish try to murder me with a shotgun.
Casey.
I'm still here, though.
You know what looks really good? The oolag.
Actually, I'm curious.
How did you know you wanted to be a cop? Well, I always loved doughnuts, and uh, what about you? Come from money? Rich kid? No, my dad's a mailman in Pittsburgh.
I have six brothers.
Three of them are truckers.
So, how come you always, you know, look so What? Well-educated? Well-dressed? Come on, don't be a snob.
The elevator goes both ways.
Oh, crap.
What? No, no, no, no.
I have to go.
I don't understand.
I'm working.
I thought I could do both.
Uh, Casey? Call me Jonah.
My parents did, or nearly did.
They called me john.
I was a christian then.
I'm a bokononist now.
We bokononists believe that humanity is organized into teams Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the eyes of God Teams that do God's will without ever discovering what they are doing.
All right, she's armed, she's dangerous, and she's desperate to get married.
Let's go.
Such a team is called a karass.
If you find your life tangled up with someone else's life that person may be a member of your karass.
Around back.
