The Good Cop (2018) s01e07 Episode Script

Oh, yeah.
There we go.
Here we are.
How did you talk me into this? Why can't I say no to you? Oh, would you relax? You've been moaning and groaning ever since we left Brooklyn.
- These cop retreats are a blast.
- You sure they don't mind you attending? You're not on probation anymore, but still.
- I'm an adjunct detective.
- There's no such thing.
Want to see my badge? Yeah, you know what? I'd love to see your badge.
Adjunct detectives don't need a badge.
Anthony, two o' clock.
No.
Two Two o' clock.
Who is she? Who is she? That's for you to find out, I don't know.
- I could run her plates.
- Or you could talk to her.
Buy her a drink.
Ask her, her name.
All right fine, run her plates, but I want a DNA test.
I really do.
I got to know who your mother was humpin'.
Hey, look at this.
Look at that.
The party's officially begun.
- Hey Biggie.
- Hey.
Danny boy, what do you say, kid? Hey, look who I dragged up.
My boy, my son.
Hi.
Hello.
Hi.
Tony Jr.
Everybody needs a designated driver.
What are you talking about? The kid's gonna be great.
We won't even be able to keep up with him.
Burl was telling us about a traffic stop.
Two weeks ago, I clocked this couple doing 85, maybe 90, on the FDR.
I pull them over, I said: "Ma'am, does your husband always drive that fast?" She said: "Only when he's drunk.
" I love that one.
Actually I think I've heard that one.
That's an old joke or something.
We can Google it.
We're gonna check in.
Alright.
- Come on, we'll Google it over there.
- Alright.
I'll be back.
See you guys in a minute.
Let's see here.
Can you use that one? No.
No.
Master charge, remember that? I don't even know who this guy is Oh yeah, let's give that one a try.
Really? Can you look again? It's sort of important to me.
I requested the top floor.
I'm afraid that's all we have.
The resort is completely booked.
Hi.
Excuse me.
We're on the top floor, we can swap.
The kindness of strangers.
Thank you.
Ms.
Clark is in a single.
I'm afraid it wouldn't work.
- Points for trying.
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
Oh, God! So are you here for the convention? Me? No, no.
I'm just a lowly, boring civilian.
- I guess it's me and 400 cops.
- Yeah.
- At least you know you're safe.
- Am I? Hi, I'm Tony Caruso.
This my boy, Tony, Jr.
- Oh.
- You know, he's a pretty big wheel.
Yeah, yeah.
Lieutenant Detective.
Three times decorated.
I never travel without my press agent.
Lieutenant Detective.
I'm duly impressed.
Macy Clark.
So let me get this straight, you came to a ski resort to ski? Pretty unorthodox.
So crazy it just might work.
- Maybe I'll see you in the bar later? - Not if I see you first.
I mean.
I'd like to see you first.
That's not ready to help me.
You don't need any help.
I know what you mean.
Until then.
Come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
Thank you very much.
- Bye.
Luggage.
Come on.
- Yeah, okay, bye.
Bye.
Alright, here we go.
"Until then.
" - That's good, right? - Oh, until then is great.
It's one of the best things a person could say, because it contains the word then.
Then is a definite thing.
Something is going to happen then.
Hey, here we are, 301.
Hey, not bad.
I'll take this one.
Closest to the bathroom for obvious reasons.
You know, Dad, you were right.
- I think I needed this.
- Yeah.
Look at these seminars.
"Crime scene reconstruction.
Managing your evidence room.
" These are great.
Wait.
Wait.
No.
"Ethics in modern police work.
Guest speakers, Tony Caruso, former detective NYPD, and Tony Caruso Jr.
" - You signed me up to speak? - Yeah, come on.
It'll be fun.
We'll talk for ten minutes, then there'll be some Q&A.
I'm not prepared.
What's to prepare? We're talking about ethics.
You be Pro, I'll be Con.
- No, no.
Not doing it.
Definitely not.
- Hey, show some gratitude here.
Wasn't easy getting you on that panel.
Had to slip the organizer a little do-re-mi.
Wait up.
You bribed a guy to get me on the Ethics panel? Yeah, it cost me 50 bucks.
What? Oh, you know what? I've changed my mind, Dad.
- This sounds like fun.
I'm definitely in.
- There you go.
That's my boy.
Can't wait to see the guys.
It'll be great.
Look at this.
This guy's getting an early start on the weekend.
You bring your necktie? - You said this was casual.
- That's alright, don't worry.
You can borrow mine.
Unless I'm using it.
How much fun is this? Come on.
You can do between two and 300 push-ups? - That's what I said.
- I got a c note that says no way.
Okay.
Hey.
One.
Two.
Three.
Thank you very much.
- You said between two and 300.
- I did three.
That's between two and 300.
Sucker.
Come on.
Let's go see Bobby G.
Hey, I'm buying.
Looks like something's wrong with my glass.
What, what is it? It's empty.
- Do you want anything? - No, I'm good.
Thank you.
Don't let me interrupt you.
Macy.
What are you doing here? I don't know what he just said to you, but he's lying.
Is it too warm in here, Andre? Is that why you took off your wedding ring? - Wait, what? - Okay.
Okay.
Macy, if you want to go talk about this That's what I wanted to do.
I came here to talk.
I had a whole speech prepared about respect and trust.
I rehearsed it 100 times.
But you know what? I'm just going to sum it up like this.
Hi.
You here to arrest me? No, ma'am.
I have a history with him.
Good.
If he was a stranger, I'd be pretty worried.
I'm taking a big risk here.
It's pretty awkward.
I had to ask the poor guy what you're drinking.
We had a thing last year.
Everybody knew he was married, everybody, but me.
I'm a middle school guidance counselor, even my kids knew.
Closure is a lot harder than it looks.
Yeah.
Closure is tricky.
So what now? Well I can either go home and bemoan my fate or I can bemoan my fate here, and get a little skiing in.
I like plan B.
If - my vote means anything - I'm a really fun person.
- Yeah.
- I really am.
When I'm not a total psychotic No.
Maybe I'll see you on the slopes tomorrow? I don't ski.
You don't ski well or you don't ski at all? I've never tried it.
Lt.
Caruso that is unacceptable, that's unforgivable.
My Nana used to say, may she rest in peace, "Life is an adventure or it's nothing.
" - I like that.
- No, you can't just say, "I like that.
" You have to believe it.
You have to embrace it.
Life is an adventure or it's nothing.
Macy.
Mac Excuse me.
Sorry, we're old friends.
Thanks.
No.
Macy, we're not doing this right now.
I know.
I'm sorry, I just want to apologize.
I feel terrible - about last night.
- Well.
Just give me five minutes, hear me out.
Then I swear I'm out of your life.
I just don't want to grow old hating you.
Okay.
Does everybody remember how to stop? We make a pizza slice.
Keep your toes together, and we push our heels out.
Everybody show me a pizza slice.
Very nice.
Okay, are we ready to ski? Okay.
See you guys at the bottom.
Go.
Pizza slice.
Pizza! I'm okay.
He's been stabbed! Call an ambulance! - Oh my God.
Andre! - Call an ambulance Andre! Oh my God! - What happened? - I don't know! Go get an ambulance! Help him! Andre! Oh my God! - What's going on? - A cop's been killed.
He's up there on the lift.
Who was it? The sergeant from the two-five.
Andre Rifkin.
I've known him for years.
He's the guy your friend's involved with.
- Roger that.
Good to know.
- Suspect's in custody.
Alright, turn to your left.
Hello.
I'm here to see Macy Clark.
It's not your case, Lieutenant.
It's not official.
I'm a friend.
A friend? Hey.
Tony.
Are you okay? I don't know.
I'm just numb.
They took my watch.
What time is it? 4:30.
They won't look at me or talk to me.
A cop was killed, so it's like family.
Do you have a lawyer? I bought a house.
I used a lawyer for that.
No, I mean a criminal lawyer.
I know a few people.
I can make some calls.
Tony.
I didn't do anything.
I didn't touch him.
I would never, Tony.
Macy What happened up there? - Did he hit you? - No.
Did he threaten you? No.
I wanted to talk to him.
We were up there on the lift.
I apologized or at least I tried to.
He was worried I was going to call his wife.
I swore I wouldn't.
Oh God, it was pretty tense.
After a minute, he just stopped talking, and so I figured he was still angry.
And so I just gave up, and I put in my headphones, and I listened to some music, and I enjoyed the view.
He was fine? Yes! He was he was fine.
He was fine and we reached the top, I turned around and there was a knife, it was in him.
Macy, it was just you and him.
You were alone.
You know how this looks.
Yeah.
I'm not going to lie, I used to lie awake at night wishing he was dead.
Well.
I wouldn't mention that to anybody.
It's crazy.
I wouldn't believe me either.
This is going to kill my mother.
Andre Rifkin was the best cop I ever met.
First guy through the door every damn time.
Yeah.
You know, I knew him when he worked Narcotics out of the two-five.
He'd walk into the interrogation room with a baseball bat.
The perp would see it and go, "Hey, what's that?" And Andre would say, "It's my lie detector.
" I'm sorry man that's That's a tough way for a good man to go out.
He was just sitting there and she just stabbed him like like a like a sucker punch.
At least give the guy a chance.
Now hey, a toast.
"To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.
" - Amen - Salute.
To Andre.
I wouldn't expect a lot of Christmas cards this year.
Word gets around.
You're helping her find a lawyer? I got to tell you, kid.
I love you dearly, but I got one foot out the door myself on this one.
She killed a cop.
She says she didn't do it.
Everybody says they didn't do it.
Nobody's guilty.
I just spent seven years upstate.
I was the only guilty guy in the place.
- Thanks for staying, Burl.
- Don't read too much into it.
I like these little red potatoes.
What happened? She batted her eyes? You got smitten? Your heart went a flutter? I'm telling you kid, you got a blind spot on this.
You're not thinking straight.
What's her story? Temporary insanity? - No.
- Let me guess.
Self-defense.
They were talking for a minute she puts in her headphones, next thing she knows he's dead.
Burl, I can't even listen to this.
- They were on a ski lift.
- Yeah.
Exactly, Dad.
If she's gonna kill somebody, why would she kill him that way? Why would anybody kill somebody that way? Why? What do you mean why? She's a woman scorned.
And why? Who cares why? Nobody ever knows why.
I'm telling you, TJ you got enough problems fitting in.
I'm not trying to be popular.
It's got nothing to do with being popular.
It's life or death.
Are you kidding me? When you go through that door when it hits the fan who's going to have your back? You need these guys.
Tell me more about Rifkin.
Did he have any other enemies? Anyone other than Macy? There was a thing about five years back.
Your dad was still on his sabbatical.
He was in prison.
Andre was shift Commander at the one-nine.
Gave some newbie a bad evaluation.
Nearly cost the guy his shield.
They ended up duking it out at the station house.
We had to pry the guys apart.
Who was it? Hell, if I remember I'll ask around.
It doesn't matter.
What we're sure of is he wasn't on the ski lift.
Actually I've been thinking about that.
And, what if there's another explanation? Another explanation.
I can show you.
I just need ten minutes and if I'm wrong, I will back off, I will not talk to Macy, ever again.
Lead the way.
I wouldn't miss this for the world.
Here is a photo of the murder weapon.
Sheriff gave me a copy.
A stiletto? Ladies love them.
What's that on the end, a notch? This ice pick is eight inches long.
Same length as the knife.
This is our victim Andre Rifkin.
Good God, Anthony.
They haven't even buried the guy.
No disrespect intended.
The knife was taped to the bar.
Okay.
Here we go.
Andre and Macy climb into the chair.
The safety bar goes down.
What does that prove? It proves she might be innocent and I believe that she is, and I will do everything that I have to do for as long as it takes to clear that woman's name.
Excuse me.
You said after the lift started, they talked for a couple of minutes, about their relationship? Yeah.
That's right.
I don't know.
It's been my experience, when a man has been stabbed in the chest that's pretty much all he wants to talk about.
Whatever conversation you're having sports, weather you'll always try to guide the subject back to the fact that he's got a knife in his chest.
It's almost like an obsession.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
It's crazy.
- She did it.
- Yes.
Yes, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Welcome back to the world.
You're my son again.
I didn't want to tell you before, but earlier today, I disowned you.
I can't wait to tell the guys.
You're alright.
Thank you.
What am I doing at an Ethics panel? I mean it's like taking nutrition tips from Buddy O' Mara.
Just kidding, Buddy.
You look great, Buddy.
TJ, let's start with you.
What was it like in that house, growing up? Lots of fun, watching my father grow up.
Very funny, very cute.
My son, he's funny.
Seriously.
It was wonderful.
We had everything we ever wanted.
I just wasn't allowed to ask where we got it.
I'd like to talk about what it's like today for a young officer on the street.
Obviously, temptation is everywhere.
Yeah, Dad, what's that quote, that Oscar Wilde quote you like? Oh, yeah.
Yeah I can "I can resist everything except temptation.
" Oscar Wilde, my kind of cop.
I could partner with him.
Look all officers make mistakes.
The important thing is that we never stop learning.
For example.
Recently, I learned a valuable lesson from my father.
And what was that? Well, as all of you know I recently got involved in the death of our friend, Andre Rifkin.
I got involved with a suspect.
Too involved.
My dad called me out on it and he was right.
It won't happen again.
I can promise you that.
Okay, let's get back to ethics.
Here's a hypothetical.
You and your partner respond to a traffic accident.
Before the car is towed, you see your partner pocketing a stack of bills.
How do you respond? Do you approach him - there on the - I'm so sorry.
Excuse me.
I just noticed that picture.
Is there someone at the top of the ski lift that helps to assist people off the chair? Oh my god.
Yes, there's always a staff member on the platform.
- That's it.
- No, son.
That's what happened.
It was the attendant.
It was the attendant.
No, no he could have stabbed Andre Rifkin while getting off the chair.
He had the means and the opportunity.
Son, Jr.
, don't do this.
No, no let's do this.
Let's try this.
This is the ski lift.
This is the ski lift.
Okay.
Um Guys, we can solve the case right here.
We can do it.
Dad, you be Andre Rifkin, if you could just sit here, please? Alright.
I just need a volunteer.
Anybody? Buddy? No? Okay, Karen? Thank you.
You be Macy Clark.
I will be the attendant.
Okay.
Here comes the chair.
Up goes the safety rail.
Macy Clark exits the chair.
While nobody's looking I stabbed the victim She's guilty! No, we don't know that.
See, now we have reasonable doubt.
You don't know what you're talking about.
You don't know her, okay? You've never met her.
There is such a thing as presumption of innocence.
I think we have time for some Q&A.
I'm sure your next panel will go a lot smoother.
I think the Battle of Gettysburg went a lot smoother.
Lieutenant? You wanted to see the weekend work schedule? Thank you.
Yes.
The sheriff was here all day.
He questioned everybody.
Well, he questioned them as witnesses, not as suspects.
Who's Daryl Teasdale? Daryl.
Yeah.
They call him Diesel.
He was working on the platform when Andre was stabbed.
- Do you know where he is? - Probably in the break room? Thank you.
Daryl Teasdale? Yeah, maybe.
Got a minute? I don't think so, man.
No.
- Relax.
- No.
I don't think so.
No biting.
No.
Burl called me.
What's all this about a ski lift? Got some good news.
Think you can handle it? I don't know.
I haven't had a lot of experience with that lately.
There's a kid at the resort.
Daryl Teasdale.
Do you know him? He was at the ski lifts when you got off.
- He's got a jacket two feet long.
- A jacket? A record.
Possession with intent, - grand theft, B&E.
- Did he do it? When I went to question him, he took off like a rabbit.
What does that mean? It means you have to stay strong.
Can you do that? Hi, I'm Cora.
Caruso, there's something I think you should see.
Where is Daryl? Cut him loose.
Why? To reduce the chances of him lawyering up and suing us.
Caruso, he didn't do it.
- Why'd he run? - He always runs.
He sells weed on the side.
He supplies the whole resort.
Most of the staff, half the guests Chasing that kid is the only exercise I get.
Lowery, show him the tape.
We got a video of them on the ski lift.
I thought you said there weren't cameras.
We got lucky.
One of the guests was wearing one of them GoPro deals.
There's the knife.
He was dead before he reached the top.
So that's it, then.
She's asleep.
I'm glad you met someone.
She didn't do it.
Do believe me? No.
But I'm glad you met someone.
Good morning.
Complimentary breakfast.
You can make your own omelette.
Maybe later.
You look like something I stepped in.
You sleep at all? Not really.
- I thought we weren't talking.
- Course we're talking.
How's your girlfriend? - She's not my girlfriend.
- Don't say that, Anthony.
If you don't love her, it's 100 times worse.
You helped her make bail? I called Frank Wrigley.
He posted her bond.
So she's back on the street.
That's great.
I asked around.
That newbie Rifkin had that beef with his name was, I wrote it down here Maury Peppitone.
How's this helping us? - Well, he was asking for - Burl.
You're not helping.
I'm serious, Anthony.
She killed a cop.
If she's in your life I'm not sure I can be.
Toast, Burl.
How the hell do you eat an omelet without toast, that's what I want to know.
Hello? Tony? I've been in there for an hour.
Couldn't get the smell of that cell off of me.
How did you get in here? The maid let me in.
I hope that's okay, I I didn't want to be alone.
No.
That's good.
It's cool.
It's good and cool.
You were right about the view.
It's pretty amazing.
There's a leak.
Oh, yeah.
I noticed that too.
You think it's serious? We're on the top floor.
It could be coming from the roof.
Yes.
It's Tony Caruso in room 301.
We have a leak coming from our ceiling, it looks pretty serious.
Thank you.
How did this happen? My sister my support group, everyone warned me not to come.
But I had to have closure with Andre.
Guess I got it.
Yeah.
I guess you did.
Even my lawyer doesn't believe me.
There's nobody but you.
What am I gonna do? You need a miracle.
That's not much of a plan.
I don't know.
There's miracles every day.
What the hell is that? It's a drone.
Where was it? On the roof, just above my room.
I got a nephew that likes to fly these things.
Never seen one like this.
Carbon fiber, multi-axle.
This is no toy.
Here's the camera.
But what the hell is this thing? I'll be damned.
That's a crossbow? So it can fire an arrow? - Most likely.
- Or a knife.
Or a small knife like a stiletto.
That explains the notch in the handle.
Let me see that.
Thank God, there's a leak in the ceiling.
We'd never have found this.
It's still charged up.
We could take it out and test it.
Sheriff.
Excuse me.
I'm on the same frequency.
Something's still transmitting.
Three-fifteen.
The guy with the necktie, he's been at it all weekend.
He won't put up much of a fight.
- Who is he? - Three-fifteen? Maury Peppitone.
What? Do you know him? We do.
He's a man with a motive.
Get out of the way.
Maury.
It's Tony Caruso.
Open the door, Maury.
Clear.
Nice view of the ski lift.
There's a note.
Lieutenant.
Hey, excuse me.
- You're a reporter, right? - Yeah.
Alright, so let's make sure we spell his name right.
Caruso.
C-A-R-U-S-O.
He's my son.
Yeah, we we're the only two who believed her.
My Uber's here.
- I was going to drive you.
- No.
You've done enough.
I mean if you want to take a later flight, I made breakfast.
My sister is picking me up, so I'm kind of locked in.
You understand, right? Yeah.
Of course.
I knew you would.
You always do.
That's what I love about you.
Where's Papa Bear? He's running errands.
Well, tell him I said goodbye.
And thanks for last night.
- I mean for understanding.
- No.
Like you said, you needed to clear your head.
Were you okay on the couch? Oh, yeah.
The couch and I are old friends.
Well next time we get together, let's you know get together.
I would like that.
Sorry.
Hello? Lt.
Caruso.
This is Frank Moulton from Bear Mountain Inn.
We have a situation here.
I'm sure you remember that water leak you reported? I'm afraid that we're going to have to charge you for that repair.
What? Why? You know what? Let me get right back to you.
I'm saying goodbye to a friend.
Who's that? It's the resort, something about the leak.
Doesn't matter.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Call me when you land.
Call me before you land.
Call me anytime.
I will.
Thanks again.
You're the best.
Bear Mountain Inn.
Yes.
- What were you saying? - About that leak It wasn't coming from the roof.
We found a bag of ice in the vent.
- A bag of ice? - Yes, sir, in the vent.
Someone punctured a bag of ice and stuck it up there.
When it melted, it leaked.
Everywhere.
You wouldn't know anything about this, would you? No, of course not.
Why would anybody Why would I put a bag of ice in the ceiling? You know what? Just have the manager call me.
I'll discuss it with him.
Okay, yes, sir.
It's very important to me.
I requested the top floor.
Thank God there's a leak in the ceiling.
We'd never have found this.
I found your gun.
The water leak.
My one mistake.
I didn't know what else to do.
I had to get somebody up to the roof to find the drone.
Actually, you made two mistakes.
The battery in the drone was full.
If it had really taken a flight, gone up the mountain, it would've been depleted.
Well, you live and you learn.
Macy, just I know how to shoot, Tony.
I date a lot of cops.
I have a thing for cops.
You have a thing for cops? You killed two of them.
I have a thing for cops.
What choice did I have after the way Andre treated me? You can't treat people like that.
There are consequences.
When did you kill Maury Peppitone? You tell me.
Must have been Friday after we checked in.
You drugged him.
You shot him.
Made it look like a suicide.
He was your perfect fall guy.
Everybody knew he hated Rifkin.
And you planted evidence in the room.
Some on the roof.
Next day, on the ski lift, you killed him.
Just like everybody knew you did.
Everybody, but me.
What about me? Was I Was I just part of your plan? No.
You fell into my lap like a Christmas gift.
The earnest love-struck cowboy determined to restore the lady's good name.
Unfortunately, you left your front door open, a junkie broke in, found your gun, and killed you in your dining room.
No.
You know, you were right, Macy.
Life is an adventure or it's nothing.
Oh, geez, I'm sorry.
- I'll come back - No, Dad, she's the one.
She's the one.
Jr.
, we've talked about this.
You gotta tie the necktie to the doorknob.
Don't worry, I got it.
No, Dad.
She's the one, Dad.
She's the one.
