THOSE BASTARDS STOLE MY PAINTINGS.
WHICH BASTARDS? TWO YEARS' WORK.
THEY RANSACKED MY PLACE, STOLE MY PAINTINGS SO I WOULDN'T BE A WITNESS AT THAT MURDER TRIAL.
THAT BASTARD FRANK PISCIOTTA SENT 'EM.
THERE'S NO QUESTION IN YOUR MIND IT WAS PISCIOTTA? I WENT AND SAW HIM AT HIS RESTAURANT.
HE JUST ABOUT ADMITTED IT WAS HIM.
YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN YOURSELF STOMPED, WALTER.

HE'D BUY THE PLANE TICKET? HE'D HAVE THE TICKET WITH THE PAINTINGS.
[ Sighs .]
WALTER, WE WANT TO CONVICT PISCIOTTA'S SOLDIERS FOR THAT MURDER YOU SAW.
BUT I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THEM PAINTINGS ARE TO YOU, SO, YOU GOTTA DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO.
WELL, I WAS THINKING.
WHEN I GO TO PISCIOTTA TO GET MY WORK BACK, MAYBE I COULD BE WEARING ONE OF THOSE BODY MICROPHONES.
GET HIM TO INCRIMINATE HIMSELF SO YOU GUYS CAN ARREST HIM.
THAT'D BE A PLAN.
MAN, SMELL THAT GREASE.
WHY DO PEOPLE EAT ALL THAT FRIED FOOD? I LIKE FRIED EGGS.

NOW, I KNOW THIS BATTLE-AX AIN'T HURT, 'CAUSE HERE SHE COMES RUNNING OUT INTO THE HALL.
SOLD HER ON THE TOASTER BLOWING UP, BUT I GUESS SHE FOUND THE EVIDENCE.
SO, HERE'S PROTECTING SOMEONE BUYING ME A BROKEN NOSE.
SURE HATE TO HAVE TO GIVE UP THE BROAD'S NAME.
- WHERE ARE YOU GOING? - SOMEONE'S SCREAMING IN HERE.
YOU DON'T NEED TO FLAKE ME.
I'M NOT LOOKING TO JAM YOU FOR THE FACE-LIFT.
SIT DOWN! THIS AN AK-47.
WHAT ARE YOU? WITH THE RUSSIAN MILITARY? DA.
GET UP AND TURN AROUND.
THAT'S RIGHT.
TURN AROUND.
'CAUSE YOU'RE A COLLAR.
YOU THINK THIS IS HOLDING UP, UH, YOU'RE DREAMING.
YEAH? WHAT YOU THINK? I'M PUNCHY? MAYBE SOMEBODY SLIPPED ME A MICKEY.
COME ON.
OKAY.
I'M GONNA PUT ALL THE CARDS ON THE TABLE HERE, ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE APARTMENT, EVEN IF IT DON'T LOOK TOO GOOD FOR ME, OKAY? I LIKE YOUR ATTITUDE.
NOW, I KNOW THIS DON'T LOOK GOOD, BUT, UH, WE WERE DOING DRUGS.
[ Medavoy .]
IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH.
AND WE WERE SMOKING A LOT OF ROCK.
ALL WEEKEND, WE WERE JUST SMOKIN' AND SMOKIN'.
WHERE'D YOU GET THE MONEY FOR THE CRACK? YOU GOT A JOB? NO, I'M UNEMPLOYED, BUT ME AND TOMMY, WE, YOU KNOW, WE HAD A LITTLE MONEY AND-AND NEIL WORKED, SO HE BOUGHT MOST OF IT.
BUT-BUT THEN, NEIL, HE HAD TO GO TO WORK.
THAT'S WHEN ME AND TOMMY LEFT.
BUT THEN WE CAME BACK, A-AND THAT'S WHEN WE FOUND HIM.
HE JUST CRASHED ON HIS BED AND DIED.
I-I'M SORRY WE SOLD THAT STUFF OF HIS.
IT'S JUST WE WERE ALL SHOOK UP, AND WE WANTED TO MAKE ANOTHER BUY.
- STRAIGHTEN OUR NERVES.
- SURE.
THAT'S THE TRUTH, WIN OR LOSE.
MY GUESS-- HIS-HIS HEART JUST CONKED OUT.
IN OTHER WORDS, UH, YOU'RE INNOCENT.
GUILTY OF BAD JUDGMENT MAYBE, OTHERWISE, YES.
YOU EVER OFFER ANYONE A BOOM BOX TO HANDLE YOUR JOHNSON, ARNIE? NOT TO MY RECOLLECTION.
GIVE ME A SMILE.
KEEP AN EYE ON HIM FOR A SECOND? RIGHT THERE.
SARGE? I NEED A COUPLE OF VOUCHERS, PLEASE.
OKAY.
GINA.
YEAH, IT'S DETECTIVE SIMONE.
I'M CALLING FROM DOWNSTAIRS.
WHAT INTERVIEWS ARE OPEN? OKAY.
I'M GONNA TAKE THE POKEY.
DO ME A FAVOR.
TELL DETECTIVE RUSSELL TO BE IN THE LOCKER ROOM FOR THE NEXT FEW MINUTES AND LET THE BOSS KNOW THAT I NEED TO SEE HIM.
GREAT.
UP THIS WAY.
I'M JAMES LIERY! IT'S 11:24 A.
M! REQUESTING AN ATTORNEY IN FRONT OF WITNESSES! TELL 'EM ABOUT YOUR NOSE.
JAMES LIERY, DARLIN', ASKING FOR A LAWYER.
HEY, BOSS.
WHO'S THIS? THIS IS JAMES LIERY.
I WAS INVESTIGATING A COMPLAINT ON A FIREARMS DISCHARGE.
HE HAD AN AK-47 ON HIS BED.

I USE IT FOR A PILLOW.
JAMES LIERY REQUESTING HIS PRECIOUS RIGHT TO COUNSEL.
SET HIM UP WITH A PHONE.
THEN COME TALK TO ME.

YOU DON'T THINK THIS TOSS ON THE APARTMENT'S GONNA HOLD, THEN BRING IN THE VIC.
HAVE HIM PICK OUT LIERY FOR THE ASSAULT.
NEVER MIND I'M WORKING THE GUY UNDERCOVER.
CALL JANE WALLACE.
WE NEED TO FIGURE HOW WE'RE GONNA DO THIS.
HOW WE SHOULD DO IT IS PUT THE GUY BACK OUTSIDE.
I WANT TO TALK TO HER, DIANE.
[ Sighs .]
AND DON'T TRY TO SELL POPPING THIS GUY AS A COINCIDENCE, BOBBY.
HE'S A PSYCHO, LIEU.
HE NEEDS TO BE OFF THE STREET.
I WANT TO TALK TO WALLACE.
SHE'S REALLY GONNA 86 AN OPERATION THAT SHE PUT TOGETHER.
I'M GOING TO TALK TO HER AND GET HER TO CLOSE AS QUICKLY AS SHE CAN.
HOYT'S WIRED.
ALL RIGHT, CATCH BOBBY UP.
THEN THE TWO OF YOU TAKE HOYT TO PISCIOTTA'S RESTAURANT.

I COLLARED LIERY.
THEY'RE GONNA LET HIM GO.
THEY FIGURE THEIR WAY TO HIM THROUGH RUSSELL COLLARS HIM AND HIS CREW.
FANCY DON'T KNOW THIS GUY DRUGGED HER.
MADE HER CRAZY ENOUGH THAT SHE TOOK A SHOT.

YOU KNOW THAT? HE WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO SAY SO.
DETECTIVE FIRST GRADE THAT YOU ARE, YOU KNOW HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH.
IF YOU'RE THAT WORRIED ABOUT RUSSELL, MAYBE WE PUT SOME STINK ON LIERY WITH HIS PALS.
I HEARD HER SAY THE BAR WHERE THEY'VE BEEN AT.

TOOK 14 SECONDS TO STICK THE PIN IN YOUR DONKEY-ASS FOR THOSE AK-47's AND THE FUN COMING UP AT THE AIRPORT.
IGNORANT AS YOU LOOK, LIERY'S PROBABLY GOT ANOTHER PARTNER AND YOU'RE JUST HOLDING THE BAG.
NOW, YOU GIVE UP A NAME AND GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE.
NO.
NO, HUH? TWO DONKEYS BUT ONLY ONE RAT? I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

LET'S GO AT MULLEN WITH THAT.
HERE'S THE COMIC BOOKS.

GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME! GET IN THERE.
[ Tape Squealing .]
[ Simone .]
HEY! OPEN THE DOOR! [ Sipowicz .]
GET OUT OF THE CAR! THAT'S YOU BUSTING 'EM? THAT'S NOTHING ON PISCIOTTA.
HE DOESN'T EVEN SAY HE'S BUYING A TICKET.
I GUESS WE COULD CHARGE THE TWO IN THE CAR WITH UNLAWFUL IMPRISONMENT.
UNLAWFUL IMPRISONMENT THE BEST YOU CAN DO OFF OF GETTING ONE MOPE TELLING THE OTHER, "DON'T DO NOTHING HERE"? YOU FIGURE HE'S SAYING, "DON'T TAKE A LEAK OUTSIDE THE RESTAURANT"? THOSE GUYS INTENDED TO KILL ME.
I DON'T HAVE ANY DOUBT ABOUT IT.
I UNDERSTAND THAT'S HOW YOU'RE FEELING MR.
HOYT, BUT MY BEST LOOK AT A CONVICTION'S PROSECUTING THE BUSBOYS WHO ACTUALLY DID KILL THAT GRAFFITI ARTIST.
THAT IS GONNA GUARANTEE I'M NOT GONNA GET MY PAINTINGS.
TRUTH IS, WALTER, LOOKING TO CROAK YOU HOW THEY WERE, THAT MEANS THEY ALREADY DESTROYED THE PAINTINGS-- GETTING RID OF THE EVIDENCE.
TRY FLIPPING ONE OF THE BUSBOYS AGAIN? - OFF WHAT NEW LEVERAGE? - IT'S WHAT WE GOT, ALL RIGHT, COHEN? MEANWHILE, WE WANT GUARDS WITH WALTER AROUND THE CLOCK.
I'LL GET A DETAIL FROM THE D.

PANETTI.

HOYT WITH YOU TILL THE D.
A.
's SQUAD SHOWS UP.
REALLY BOTHERS ME TO LOSE EVERYTHING I WORKED FOR OFF TRYING TO HELP.
I CAN APPRECIATE YOUR FEELINGS.
YOU UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE COME TO VIOLENCE.
COME ON, WALTER.
- TURN LIERY LOOSE.
- YEP.
YOU GONNA RELEASE HIM NOW? YEAH.

MUST'VE BEEN A REAL SLOW MORNING.
SIGN FOR THAT.
[ Takes Deep Breath .]

NAH.
YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT? "I MUST BE PUNCHY.
SOMEBODY SLIPPED ME A MICKEY.

OR WE CAN GO OUTSIDE.
I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO SUE ABOUT.
GONE? MM-HMM.
STAY AWAY FROM HIM FOR A FEW DAYS, DIANE.
- WHY? - JUST LET IT QUIET DOWN.
IT COULD CLOSE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
BOBBY, JUST STAY OUT OF IT.
[ Sighs .]
YEAH, I'M THE WORRIED EX-BOYFRIEND THAT DOESN'T REALIZE THAT EVERYTHING HERE IS UNDER CONTROL.
EX, HUH? THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A GUY WHO DRUGGED YOU, WHO COULD DO ANYTHING ELSE AND IS IN YOUR HEAD ENOUGH THAT YOU'RE DOING STUFF THAT COULD COST YOU YOUR SHIELD.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THE BULLET IN THAT LADY'S WALL, IS THAT FROM YOUR GUN? I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU WOULD HURT YOURSELF OVER THIS GUY, BUT I'M ASKING YOU TO LET IT SIT.
AS MY EX-BOYFRIEND.
[ Sighs .]
IF I'M YOUR BOYFRIEND, WILL YOU LET IT SIT? LOOK, MY THING IS, I DON'T WANT SOMETHING STUPID TO HAPPEN BEFORE IT HAS A CHANCE TO GET STRAIGHTENED OUT, OKAY? OKAY.
I'LL STAY AWAY FROM HIM FOR A FEW DAYS.
YOU TELL ME NEIL DIED UNNATURALLY, I SAY I'M UNINVOLVED.
- THAT'S YOUR STORY.
- IT'S GOD'S TRUTH.
YEAH? WELL, WE KNOW YOU'RE LYING, AND THAT MAKES YOU A MURDER SUSPECT.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? LOOK, WE NOT ONLY KNOW THAT SOMEONE FRACTURED RUTLEDGE'S SKULL-- WE KNOW WHOSE PRINTS CAME OFF THAT COLD DUCK BOTTLE, TOMMY.
WE WERE ALL THREE OF US DRINKING FROM THAT BOTTLE.
HOW IT LOOKS NOW, TOMMY, YOU'RE GONNA GET CHARGED WITH THIS HOMICIDE.
YOU'RE GONNA DRAW SOME BEAT-UP LEGAL AID LAWYER COULDN'T GET A WALK FOR ST.
FRANCIS.
NOW, IF YOUR PAL ARNIE WAS THE BAD GUY, YOU GOTTA GET IN FRONT OF THAT FAST.
WHAT MUST'VE HAPPENED, NEIL MUST'VE FELL ON THE STAIRS AND HIT HIS HEAD, AND COME BACK UP AND LAY DOWN AND DIED.
THE MORE CRAP YOU MAKE UP, THE MORE I FIGURE IT'S YOU THAT DID IT.
NOBODY CAN WALK EVEN A STEP WITH A HEAD INJURY LIKE THAT.
WE GOT HIS PRINTS.
I'M READY TO CHARGE THIS GUY.
COME ON.
- COME ON.
GET UP.
GET UP! - NO, NO, NO! I'M GONNA GIVE YOU ARNIE! TH-THERE WAS A BIG STINK OVER MONEY.
NEIL STILL HAD SOME LEFT, BUT HE WOULDN'T MAKE ANOTHER BUY.
HE WANTED TO GO TO WORK, AND ARNIE WANTED TO KEEP BINGEING.
SO WE WERE GONNA TIE HIM UP AND ROB HIM.
IT WAS ARNIE'S IDEA.
ONLY ARNIE TURNS OUT TO BE SCARED OF HIM, SO HE HITS HIM WITH THE COLD DUCK BOTTLE.
IT JUST KNOCKED NEIL ON HIS KNEES, AND HE DIDN'T SEEM THAT OUT OF IT.
SO ARNIE JUST LET GO WITH THIS BIG SWING, AND IT WAS JUST TOO MUCH.
GOD.
ARNIE'S SO STUPID, YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
SO, HERE'S WHAT HE GETS ME IN.
YEAH, YOU'RE A REAL HARD-LUCK GUY.
COME ON.
SIT DOWN, PANETTI.
OVER HERE? GETTING READY FOR THE BIG DAY? WHAT? THE TRIAL? I JUST WANT TO GET MY NAMED CLEARED.
THAT'S IT.
FRANKIE PISCIOTTA BUY YOU THESE CLOTHES? NO.
I PAID FOR 'EM.
YEAH, THESE DAYS, YOU'RE PROBABLY THE BEST-PAID BUSBOY IN AMERICA, HUH, JERRY? IS FRANK PISCIOTTA A STAND-UP? YES.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS LOOKING TO DO, MAKE A CRIME OF THAT TOO? [ Sipowicz .]
JERRY, WE'RE LOOKING TO TAKE THE DICE OUT OF YOUR HANDS.
WHERE "A," YOU'RE FOUND GUILTY, OR EITHER ONE NIGHT FRANKIE PUTS FOUR LINES EXTRA UP HIS NOSE AND HE DECIDES THAT YOU AND PAUL BELLINI'D LOOK BETTER IN A DITCH.
IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
JERRY, SAY, "IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN, I DON'T THINK," OKAY? OTHERWISE, YOU SOUND LIKE A MORON.
DO THESE CLOTHES LOOK LIKE FRANKIE DON'T LOOK OUT FOR US? ALL RIGHT, HERE'S A LITTLE QUIZ FOR YOU, JERRY.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW? YOU READY? WHERE'S SAMMY "THE BULL" GRAVANO, PRESENT TIME? I WISH I KNEW.
GOTTI WOULD SEND ME A MILLION BUCKS FROM PRISON.
SO, THE ANSWER TO THE CATEGORY, "WHERE ARE THEY NOW?" YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THE BULL IS.
CORRECT, JERRY? CORRECT IS CORRECT.
WHEREAS JOHN GOTTI, YOU KNOW HIS EXACT LOCATION.
YEAH, HE'S IN THE JOINT.
BECAUSE GOTTI ROLLED THE DICE, AND THE BULL TOOK THE SURE THING.
GOTTI GOT CONVICTED, WHICH YOU'RE ELIGIBLE TO GET TOO.
AND GRAVANO, THAT GAVE HIM UP, HE'S SUNBATHING WITH SOME BROAD ON A BEACH SOMEWHERES AND NOBODY KNOWS WHERE THE HELL IT IS.
JERRY, YOU GOTTA ASK YOURSELF, ARE YOU EVER GONNA BE SAFE FROM ONE DAY FRANK PISCIOTTA DECIDING, "YOU KNOW, THERE ARE TWO GUYS OUT THERE THAT CAN PUT ME AWAY "JUST LIKE THE BULL PUT GOTTI AWAY.
"NOW, THESE TWO GUYS, THEY'RE BETTER OFF LYING DEAD SOMEWHERE IN A DITCH WITH THEIR HEADS BEATEN IN, COVERED UP WITH LYE.
" YEAH, THAT'S A SITUATION THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO BUY NO NEW WARDROBES.
THIS IS A CONSPIRACY, WHAT YOU GUYS'RE DOING.
JERRY! THE BULL DID 18 MURDERS HE ADMITS TO, AND HE'S KICKING BACK ON A BEACH 'CAUSE HE HAD WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS MORE THAN THEY WANT HIM.
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MORE THE GOVERNMENT WANTS PISCIOTTA THAN YOU, JERRY? YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF DEAL THEY'D GIVE YOU IN WITNESS PROTECTION? THE "A" DEAL, JERRY.
A GRAVANO-TYPE DEAL.
OTHERWISE, YOU ROLL THE DICE.
DOES THE JURY CONVICT YOU OR WAIT FOR PISCIOTTA TO BEAT YOUR HEAD IN? THEY'D WRITE A DEAL OUT, THEORETICALLY? CHAPTER AND VERSE? A GRAVANO-TYPE DEAL.
I'D TELL YOU WHATI'DDEMAND-- GRAVANO'S TYPE OF DEAL, WORD FOR WORD.
BUT I'M NOT SAYING I'M GOING FOR IT.
- HOW COULD THEY SAY NO? - HE'S GOT FISTFULS OF THEIR SHORT HAIRS IN EITHER HAND.
THIS MAN IS COMPLETELY IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT.
IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME HE'S DONE THIS.
HE DOESN'T CARE IF HIS MOTHER'S WORRYING.
[ Scoffs .]
THREE MONTHS, WE DON'T HEAR NOTHING.
WERE YOU ROUGH ON HIM, MR.
ROMERO? WE TREAT HIM GOOD, LIKE ALL OUR KIDS.
I'M ASKING YOU.
DID YOU PERSONALLY BEAT HIM A LOT? I DON'T NEED NO LECTURES FROM YOU, ALL RIGHT? I'M A TAXPAYER.
I'M NOT ON THE STREET.
MARCO'S IN THERE.
[ Knocks .]
MARCO, YOUR FATHER'S GONNA TAKE YOU HOME.
- IS MY MOTHER HERE? - NO, IT'S JUST ME.
LET'S GO.
- CAN I TAKE THE COMIC BOOKS? - YEAH, YOU CAN HAVE 'EM.
NO, DON'T GO BUMMING THINGS, ALL RIGHT? THEY DON'T BELONG TO YOU.
THAT HOW YOU GET ALONG ON THE STREET, BEGGING? HE CAN HAVE THE COMIC BOOKS.
WHAT ABOUT MY SLEEPING BAGS? CAN WE GO DOWN TO FIRST AND PICK UP MY SLEEPING BAGS? NO.
FORGET YOUR JUNK.
YOU KNOW, I SAID YOU CAN'T TAKE THOSE.
HEY.
LET'S GO BACK OUTSIDE A MINUTE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU? HOW MANY LOVED ONES YOU THINK YOU GOT? YOU BETTER NOT LAY HANDS ON ME.
MR.
ROMERO, I'M GONNA BE KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH MARCO, AND IF I FIND OUT YOU'RE KNOCKING THAT KID AROUND, I'M GONNA COME BACK AND LOCK YOU UP FOR CHILD ABUSE.
NOW, GO BACK IN THERE AND TAKE YOUR KID HOME.
- SO, COME ON.
- CAN I? YEAH.
TAKE 'EM.
[ Chattering .]
I'M JACK PALERMO, COUNSEL FOR FRANK PISCIOTTA.
MR.
PISCIOTTA'S BEEN ASKED TO TURN HIMSELF IN.
THAT'D BE OUR CASE.
THIS IS A SICK PERVERSION ON AMERICAN JUSTICE.
ALL RIGHT, FRANK.
YOU HOUND WORKING PEOPLE TILL THEY GIVE UP THEIR DEAR ONES LIKE NAZI FASCIST GERMANY.
YOU GET TOLD HOW YOU LOOK LIKE HITLER, FRANK? AND A LITTLE BIT BONGO THE CHIMP.
YOU TELL ME TO ACT LIKE A GENTLEMAN, THEN YOU EXPOSE ME TO THIS? ALL RIGHT, COME ON IN HERE.
GREG, WHY DON'T YOU TAKEMR.

SIT OVER HERE.
WHAT'S GOING ON? I'VE GOT SOME GOOD NEWS, BUT THERE'S NO POINT IN PISSING THIS GUY OFF.
- WHERE'S YOUR COFFEE ROOM? - OVER THERE.
- DID YOU FIND MY PAINTINGS? - NO.
BUT, UH, ONE OF THEM BUSBOYS, HE'S GOING FOR THE HOMICIDE.
WHY WOULD HE DO THAT? HE GETS A DEAL FOR, UH-- FOR GIVING UP PISCIOTTA ORDERED THE WHACK.
IT'S A-- IT'S A NICE PACKAGE FROM WITNESS PROTECTION.
[ Clears Throat .]
THAT'S PISCIOTTA GETTING TAKEN TO BE BOOKED.
I SEE.
YOU WON'T GET YOUR WORK BACK OR SO FORTH.
I'M GONNA TRY MORE DIRECT EXPRESSION IN MY WORK.
A LONG TIME, MY PAINTING'S BEEN INFERENTIAL-- DEFINE THINGS BY WHAT THEY'RE NOT.
BUT MY HEART IS SO FULL NOW, IF I DON'T ENGAGE THE CANVAS MORE, THIS THING'S GONNA BEAT ME.
DOES THAT MAKE THAT PAINTING YOU GAVE ME WORTH MORE OR LESS? DEPENDS ON WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
YEAH, I GUESS THAT'S TRUE GENERALLY.
MR.
HOYT'LL BE GOING TO BROOKLYN.

HEY.

KINDA REMINDS ME OF THE MISTAKES MY BROTHER MADE.
HAS YOUR BROTHER STRAIGHTENED OUT? NO, HE, UH, PASSED AWAY.
I CAN IMAGINE WHY YOU'RE UPSET.
YEAH, MY FATHER HAD PROBLEMS GIVING ROBERTO GUIDANCE, NOT WANTING TO KNOW WHAT HE WAS INTO.
THAT'S HARD FOR PARENTS.
IT'S NOT EXACTLY SIMILAR.
THIS BOY'S FATHER SEEMS MORE LIKE JUST A JERK.
ANYWAYS, UM, GUESS I'LL HEAD OVER TO ONE POLICE PLAZA.
OKAY, JAMES.
YEAH.
I APPRECIATE YOU LETTING ME SHARE THIS WITH YOU.
EXCUSE ME.

CONGRATULATIONS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ORDINARILY, WE WOULD HAVE DONE THIS YESTERDAY, BUT I WAS UPSTATE VISITING FRANK LATTIMER.
HOW'S HE DOING? HE'S GOT A LONG WAY TO GO.
ALL HE TALKS ABOUT IS COMING BACK TO THE JOB.
I'LL HAVE A GOOD THOUGHT FOR HIM, SIR.
SIT DOWN.
BOBBY, SOMETIMES PROMOTION TO FIRST GRADE IS BASED ON A SPECIFIC CASE.
MY UNCLE GOT IT FOR ARRESTING WILLIE SUTTON.
IS THAT RIGHT? BUT YOU'RE BEING RECOGNIZED FOR A SERIES OF CASES.
YOUR LIEUTENANT SPECIFICALLY POINTED OUT THE MULTIPLE HOMICIDES AT THE SIXTH STREET PLAYGROUND.
COMMISSIONER, NOT TO SPEAK OUT OF TURN, BUT MY PARTNER WORKED THOSE HOMICIDES AS WELL AS EVERY OTHER CASE THAT I'VE BEEN ON.
UH-HUH.
ANDY SIPOWICZ.
I KNOW OF SIPOWICZ, BUT THIS IS YOUR DAY.
LET'S WORRY ABOUT YOU.
MAYBE HE'LL GET LUCKY DOWN THE ROAD.

I DON'T KNOW, UM-- I'M SO SCARED.

FRIDAY NIGHTS IN HIGH SCHOOL, MY DAD'D BE WORKING UP HIS WEEKEND BENDER, GOING OFF ON MY MOM AND DOUGIE, MAKING ME HIS PRETTY PET.
AFTER SUPPER, I'D-I'D GET OUT OF THERE AND WALK BACK TO SCHOOL FOR THE HOCKEY GAME.
MY LEATHER JACKET WASN'T WARM ENOUGH, BUT I WOULDN'T WEAR ANYTHING COVERED UP MY FIGURE.
YOU WANT SOMETHING WARM NOW? I CAN MAKE YOU SOME TEA.

HOW DID ANDY SEEM? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? HE DIDN'T RIDE YOU HOME? UM, HE SEEMED OKAY.
WHY? WHAT WAS THE MATTER? MATTER? [ Scoffs .]

I REALIZE, WITH LIERY, YOU WERE TRYING TO HELP ME.
YEAH.
I CRY FOR YOU EVERY DAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I COULDN'T SAY YES.
[ Sighs .]
AT THE, UM-- AT THE HOCKEY RINK, WE ALL STOOD ON THE BENCHES THROUGH THE WHOLE GAME.
THE BOYS HAD CRUSHES ON ME AND-- WALKING HOME, I-I-- ALWAYS FELT LIKE I COULD NEVER STOP BEING COLD.
YOU JUST NEEDED A WARMER COAT.
[ Sighs, Sniffles .]
I COULDN'T PUT ONE ON.
I WAS AFRAID TO COVER UP MY FIGURE.
I THOUGHT-- I THOUGHT I WAS ALWAYS JUST GONNA BE COLD.
[ Sighs .]
[ Sniffles .]
YOU MAKE ME WARM, AND I COULDN'T MAKE YOU HAPPY.
YOU MADE ME HAPPY.
I COULDN'T SAY YES.
I WANTED TO, AND I COULDN'T.
IT'S OKAY, DIANE.
I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD LOVE ANYBODY LIKE THIS AND THEN-- NOT TO BE ABLE TO SAY YES.
[ Whistling .]
YOU WANT THIS? YEAH.

[ Whistling Continues .]

I REMEMBER WAKING UP AT HIS PLACE.
YEAH, HUH? - TELL ME WHAT YOU DID TO ME! - I'M IMPRESSED, BUT NOT AFRAID.
MMM? IS THAT A DETECTIVE? YES, UH-HUH.

FOUR NIGHTS AGO, THERE WAS A NOISE FROM HIS APARTMENT.
WHICH HE SAYS IS ELECTRICAL.
HE SAYS IT'S A KITCHEN APPLIANCE.
BUT THEN LAST NIGHT, I FOUND A BULLET IN MY WALL.
AND THAT WAS THE NOISE FROM HIS APARTMENT, AND HE KNEW THIS ALL THE TIME! MA'AM, I WANT YOU TO TRY TO CALM DOWN, BECAUSE WE'RE ABSOLUTELY GONNA LOOK INTO THIS.

I'LL GET SHOT OR DIE FROM FEAR.
DID YOU HEAR WHAT THAT WOMAN JUST SAID? [ Clears Throat .]
DYING FROM FEAR? FOUND A BULLET IN HER WALL.
SAYS JAMES LIERY PUT IT THERE.
[ Sighs .]

THERE'S A DEAD MAN LAYING ON THE FLOOR IN APARTMENT 3-D, HOW'D YOU COME TO KNOW THIS? SOME GUY BROUGHT ME UP THERE SAYING HE WAS GONNA GIVE ME A BOOM BOX, ONLY THE SON OF A BITCH AIN'T GIVE IT TO ME.
- WHAT'S THE GUY'S NAME? - SOME GUY I MET ON THE STREET.
TRIED TELLING ME THAT DEAD MAN WAS JUST DRUNK, BUT HE WAS DEAD.
HIS EYES WAS ALL WEIRD.
[ Martinez .]
WHAT WERE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO FOR THE GUY TO GET THE BOOM BOX? - WHO SAID I WAS GONNA DO ANYTHING? - HOW OLD ARE YOU? - SIXTEEN.
- NO, YOU'RE NOT.

SO YOU'RE ON THE STREET? YEAH.
AND YOU'RE GONNA LET THIS BOOM BOX GUY GET OVER ON YOU SO YOU COULD GET AIDS AND DIE? I'M TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS.
I'M MAKING A LIVING.
YEAH, YOU'RE DOING GREAT, KID.
YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING.
YOU'RE A DAMN FOOL.

WHERE YOU PUTTING ME? THE YOUTH OFFICE.
- DETECTIVE SIPOWICZ.
- WALTER HOYT.
THOSE BASTARDS STOLE MY PAINTINGS.
WHICH BASTARDS? TWO YEARS' WORK.
THEY RANSACKED MY PLACE, STOLE MY PAINTINGS SO I WOULDN'T BE A WITNESS AT THAT MURDER TRIAL.
THAT BASTARD FRANK PISCIOTTA SENT 'EM.
THERE'S NO QUESTION IN YOUR MIND IT WAS PISCIOTTA? I WENT AND SAW HIM AT HIS RESTAURANT.
HE JUST ABOUT ADMITTED IT WAS HIM.
YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN YOURSELF STOMPED, WALTER.
PISCIOTTA SAID HE'LL MAKE SOME CALLS, AND IF HE GETS MY PAINTINGS BACK, THEN I SHOULD GO SEE THE GREAT ART IN ITALY.
HE'D BUY THE PLANE TICKET? HE'D HAVE THE TICKET WITH THE PAINTINGS.
[ Sighs .]
WALTER, WE WANT TO CONVICT PISCIOTTA'S SOLDIERS FOR THAT MURDER YOU SAW.
BUT I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THEM PAINTINGS ARE TO YOU, SO, YOU GOTTA DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO.
WELL, I WAS THINKING.
WHEN I GO TO PISCIOTTA TO GET MY WORK BACK, MAYBE I COULD BE WEARING ONE OF THOSE BODY MICROPHONES.
GET HIM TO INCRIMINATE HIMSELF SO YOU GUYS CAN ARREST HIM.
THAT'D BE A PLAN.
MAN, SMELL THAT GREASE.
WHY DO PEOPLE EAT ALL THAT FRIED FOOD? I LIKE FRIED EGGS.
I FRY MY BURGERS.
YOU SHOULDN'T.
TOO MUCH FAT.
I SHOULDN'T EAT HAMBURGER? [ Men Chattering .]
HOW'S IT GOING? YEAH.

[ Chattering Continues .]
[ Man .]
HOW MUCH YOU WANT FOR THAT? [ Man #2 .]
FOUR BUCKS, FOUR BUCKS.
POLICE! HANDS OVER YOUR HEADS! GET BACK, EVERYBODY.

TURN AROUND.
HANDS AGAINST THE WALL.
WHO'S THE DEAD GUY ON THE FLOOR? HUH? WHO'S THAT ON THE FLOOR? IT'S HIS PLACE, I GUESS.

WHAT'S THIS ABOUT, MAN? ITWASABOUT YOUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR GETTING A BULLET IN HER WALL.
-I DON'T KNOW ABOUT NO BULLET.

OH.
YOU'RE GONNA POP ME FOR A PERSONALITY DISORDER? SIT DOWN OVER HERE.
[ Sighs, Breathing Heavily .]
NOW, TRY AGAIN HOW THAT BULLET GOT IN YOUR NEIGHBOR'S WALL.
YOU EVER LOOK TO PROTECT A BROAD? YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES? AND? THIS GIRL I'M SCREWING, SHE GETS CRAZY ON ME, THROWS A SHOT.
NOW, I KNOW THIS BATTLE-AX AIN'T HURT, 'CAUSE HERE SHE COMES RUNNING OUT INTO THE HALL.
SOLD HER ON THE TOASTER BLOWING UP, BUT I GUESS SHE FOUND THE EVIDENCE.
SO, HERE'S PROTECTING SOMEONE BUYING ME A BROKEN NOSE.
SURE HATE TO HAVE TO GIVE UP THE BROAD'S NAME.
- WHERE ARE YOU GOING? - SOMEONE'S SCREAMING IN HERE.
YOU DON'T NEED TO FLAKE ME.
I'M NOT LOOKING TO JAM YOU FOR THE FACE-LIFT.
SIT DOWN! THIS AN AK-47.
WHAT ARE YOU? WITH THE RUSSIAN MILITARY? DA.
GET UP AND TURN AROUND.
THAT'S RIGHT.
TURN AROUND.
'CAUSE YOU'RE A COLLAR.
YOU THINK THIS IS HOLDING UP, UH, YOU'RE DREAMING.
YEAH? WHAT YOU THINK? I'M PUNCHY? MAYBE SOMEBODY SLIPPED ME A MICKEY.
COME ON.
OKAY.
I'M GONNA PUT ALL THE CARDS ON THE TABLE HERE, ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE APARTMENT, EVEN IF IT DON'T LOOK TOO GOOD FOR ME, OKAY? I LIKE YOUR ATTITUDE.
NOW, I KNOW THIS DON'T LOOK GOOD, BUT, UH, WE WERE DOING DRUGS.
[ Medavoy .]
IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH.
AND WE WERE SMOKING A LOT OF ROCK.
ALL WEEKEND, WE WERE JUST SMOKIN' AND SMOKIN'.
WHERE'D YOU GET THE MONEY FOR THE CRACK? YOU GOT A JOB? NO, I'M UNEMPLOYED, BUT ME AND TOMMY, WE, YOU KNOW, WE HAD A LITTLE MONEY AND-AND NEIL WORKED, SO HE BOUGHT MOST OF IT.
BUT-BUT THEN, NEIL, HE HAD TO GO TO WORK.
THAT'S WHEN ME AND TOMMY LEFT.
BUT THEN WE CAME BACK, A-AND THAT'S WHEN WE FOUND HIM.
HE JUST CRASHED ON HIS BED AND DIED.
I-I'M SORRY WE SOLD THAT STUFF OF HIS.
IT'S JUST WE WERE ALL SHOOK UP, AND WE WANTED TO MAKE ANOTHER BUY.
- STRAIGHTEN OUR NERVES.
- SURE.
THAT'S THE TRUTH, WIN OR LOSE.
MY GUESS-- HIS-HIS HEART JUST CONKED OUT.
IN OTHER WORDS, UH, YOU'RE INNOCENT.
GUILTY OF BAD JUDGMENT MAYBE, OTHERWISE, YES.
YOU EVER OFFER ANYONE A BOOM BOX TO HANDLE YOUR JOHNSON, ARNIE? NOT TO MY RECOLLECTION.
GIVE ME A SMILE.
KEEP AN EYE ON HIM FOR A SECOND? RIGHT THERE.
SARGE? I NEED A COUPLE OF VOUCHERS, PLEASE.
OKAY.
GINA.
YEAH, IT'S DETECTIVE SIMONE.
I'M CALLING FROM DOWNSTAIRS.
WHAT INTERVIEWS ARE OPEN? OKAY.
I'M GONNA TAKE THE POKEY.
DO ME A FAVOR.
TELL DETECTIVE RUSSELL TO BE IN THE LOCKER ROOM FOR THE NEXT FEW MINUTES AND LET THE BOSS KNOW THAT I NEED TO SEE HIM.
GREAT.
UP THIS WAY.
I'M JAMES LIERY! IT'S 11:24 A.
M! REQUESTING AN ATTORNEY IN FRONT OF WITNESSES! TELL 'EM ABOUT YOUR NOSE.
JAMES LIERY, DARLIN', ASKING FOR A LAWYER.
HEY, BOSS.
WHO'S THIS? THIS IS JAMES LIERY.
I WAS INVESTIGATING A COMPLAINT ON A FIREARMS DISCHARGE.
HE HAD AN AK-47 ON HIS BED.
YEAH.
I USE IT FOR A PILLOW.
JAMES LIERY REQUESTING HIS PRECIOUS RIGHT TO COUNSEL.
SET HIM UP WITH A PHONE.
THEN COME TALK TO ME.
ABSOLUTELY.
COME ON.
HEY, HAROLD, WOULD YOU GIVE ME A HAND HERE? [ Knocks .]
WHY'D HE WANT ME OUT OF SIGHT? - HE JUST BROUGHT IN JIMMY LIERY.

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BOBBY? I WAS WORKING A COMPLAINT.
LIERY ANSWERED THE DOOR.
- SO YOU TURNED AROUND AND LEFT.
- HE HAD A MACHINE GUN.
IN PLAIN SIGHT.
WE TOOK A COMPLAINT ON THIS ASSHOLE ABOUT A WEEK AGO, LIEU, FOR ALMOST BEATING A GUY HALF TO DEATH.
YOU DON'T THINK THIS TOSS ON THE APARTMENT'S GONNA HOLD, THEN BRING IN THE VIC.
HAVE HIM PICK OUT LIERY FOR THE ASSAULT.
NEVER MIND I'M WORKING THE GUY UNDERCOVER.
CALL JANE WALLACE.
WE NEED TO FIGURE HOW WE'RE GONNA DO THIS.
HOW WE SHOULD DO IT IS PUT THE GUY BACK OUTSIDE.
I WANT TO TALK TO HER, DIANE.
[ Sighs .]
AND DON'T TRY TO SELL POPPING THIS GUY AS A COINCIDENCE, BOBBY.
HE'S A PSYCHO, LIEU.
HE NEEDS TO BE OFF THE STREET.
I WANT TO TALK TO WALLACE.
SHE'S REALLY GONNA 86 AN OPERATION THAT SHE PUT TOGETHER.
I'M GOING TO TALK TO HER AND GET HER TO CLOSE AS QUICKLY AS SHE CAN.
HOYT'S WIRED.
ALL RIGHT, CATCH BOBBY UP.
THEN THE TWO OF YOU TAKE HOYT TO PISCIOTTA'S RESTAURANT.
- I'M NOT GOING TO BE HERE FOR THE OTHER CONVERSATION? - TAKE RUSSELL TOO.
I BORROWED MEDAVOY AND MARTINEZ OFF THAT STIFF AUCTION.
TAKE SIMONE AND RUSSELL TOO! SOFT CLOTHES.
I COLLARED LIERY.
THEY'RE GONNA LET HIM GO.
THEY FIGURE THEIR WAY TO HIM THROUGH RUSSELL COLLARS HIM AND HIS CREW.
FANCY DON'T KNOW THIS GUY DRUGGED HER.
MADE HER CRAZY ENOUGH THAT SHE TOOK A SHOT.
- WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? - [ Sighs .]
I THOUGHT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO TAKE THIS PAINTER.
I LIKE THIS GUY.
HOPE HE DON'T GET KILLED.
YEAH.
[ Man On Radio .]
WALTER HOYT LOOKING FOR FRANK PISCIOTTA.
[ Man #2 .]
YEAH.
HANG ON.

[ Scoffs .]
I GOT A FAN CLUB AT ONE P.
P.
MEETS IN A STORAGE CLOSET.
ONLY THING, I'D HOPED THAT GUY PUT ME UP.
- FANCY? - WHERE HE WAS PAST HATING ME.
[ Sighs .]
HE PUT YOU UP, ANDY.
YOU KNOW THAT? HE WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO SAY SO.
DETECTIVE FIRST GRADE THAT YOU ARE, YOU KNOW HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH.
IF YOU'RE THAT WORRIED ABOUT RUSSELL, MAYBE WE PUT SOME STINK ON LIERY WITH HIS PALS.
I HEARD HER SAY THE BAR WHERE THEY'VE BEEN AT.
WE STRAIGHTEN WALTER OUT, MAYBE WE MAKE A STOP.
[ Man On Radio .]
MR.
HOYT.
THAT'S RIGHT.
YEAH, SORRY TO HOLD YOU UP.
HERE, COME HERE WITH ME.
THIS WAY.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME? WALTER? YEAH.

MY HEART'S FLUTTERING.

THEY'RE NOT THERE.
- CAN YOU HELP ME FIND MY PAINTINGS? - YEAH, WE'LL HELP YOU, WALTER.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE THE GUYS IN THE RESTAURANT SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.
I'LL TAKE THIS BACK TO THE HOUSE.
ANDY, THIS IS A MISTAKE.
THEN GET THE HELL OUT.
I'M TELLING YOU.
IT'S A MISTAKE.
NOW YOU WANT TO TELL ME IN CHINESE? WELL, WHAT DO YOU NEED? YOU TO PAY ATTENTION.
I'M ALL EARS.
YEAH? AND YOUR PAL'S ALL MOUTH, THEN HE BITCHES UP IN A MINUTE AND A HALF.

HE'S GIVING UP THIS DOUCHE BAG.
O.

IF THIS GUY DOESN'T WORK WITH YOU, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? LIVE IN SWITZERLAND? I'M NO WORSE OFF THAN I AM NOW.
HEY, YOU DON'T LIKE IT, TAKE OFF.
I'M GETTING CROCKED, AND I'M MAKING MY PLAY.
HEY, TUBE STEAK! GET OVER HERE.
YOU HEAR IT ONCE.
WE COLLARED UP ON YOUR PAL, JIMMY LIERY.
VERY TOUGH GUY.
TOOK 14 SECONDS TO STICK THE PIN IN YOUR DONKEY-ASS FOR THOSE AK-47's AND THE FUN COMING UP AT THE AIRPORT.
IGNORANT AS YOU LOOK, LIERY'S PROBABLY GOT ANOTHER PARTNER AND YOU'RE JUST HOLDING THE BAG.
NOW, YOU GIVE UP A NAME AND GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE.
NO.
NO, HUH? TWO DONKEYS BUT ONLY ONE RAT? I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? SURE.
PERFECT.
'CAUSE IF YOU HAD HALF A BRAIN, I'D HAVE HALF A CHANCE AT A CAREER.
- SO, YOU GUYS ARE COPS, HUH? - [ Scoffs .]
GIVE ME A BOTTLE OF SCOTCH.
YOU MUST HAVE ANOTHER SOURCE OF INCOME.
DUMP ON MY PLAY ANDBREAK MY BALLS? I DON'T KNOW ANY JIMMY LIERY.
WELL, HE KNOWS YOU, PAL, AND HE TURNED YOU OVER GOOD.
OH, MAN.

I DON'T WANT NO PROGRAM.
I CAN'T GO HOME.
OH, SO YOUR PARENTS ARE ALIVE? [ Sighs .]
MY OLD MAN'S ALWAYS BEATING ON ME.
GOT SO BAD, I HAD TO TAKE OFF.
HE'S GOIN' CRAZY.
YOU TELL HIM WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING, HE'S GONNA KILL ME.
WELL, WE WON'T TELL HIM.
IS YOUR MOTHER WITH HIM? YEAH.
YOU WANT TO SEE HER? SOMETIMES.
WHAT'S HER NAME? ANGELA ROMERO.
THAT'S YOUR NAME? ROMERO? YEAH.
RAMIREZ IS MY FAKE NAME.
WHERE DO YOUR PARENTS LIVE? ALL RIGHT.
WRITE DOWN YOUR ADDRESS AND THE APARTMENT NUMBER, OKAY? [ Knocks .]
JAMES.
YEAH.
UH, THAT DEAD GUY ON THE FLOOR? NEIL RUTLEDGE? UH, M.
E.
SAYS THAT HE DIED FROM A FRACTURED SKULL AND A CEREBRAL HEMATOMA.
GOT THAT CRACKED ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH SOME KIND OF BLUNT OBJECT, DIDN'T BREAK THE SKIN.
GOOD THING WE HAD CRIME SCENE PROCESS THE PLACE.
YEAH.
ANYWAYS, WE GOTTA GO BACK AT THOSE TWO SKELLS.
OKAY.
MARCO, YOU MIND STAYING HERE A LITTLE WHILE LONGER? HANG ON.
THERE'S SOME, UH, COMIC BOOKS IN ONE OF THOSE CABINETS OUT IN THE HALLWAY.
YEAH, OKAY.
THAT COULD'VE BEEN THE MURDER WEAPON, THAT BOTTLE WE FOUND ON THE FLOOR.
CHAMPAGNE BOTTLE.
WHAT WAS THE BRAND? I DON'T REMEMBER.
COLD DUCK? ITWASCOLD DUCK.
LET'S GO AT MULLEN WITH THAT.
HERE'S THE COMIC BOOKS.
RIGHT THIS WAY, WALTER.
I'M NOT GOING ANYPLACE WITHOUT MY WORK.
WE'RE GONNA PICK YOUR STUFF UP ON THE WAY.
PISCIOTTA SAID THE WORK WOULD BE IN THE CAR.
IT'S IN THE TRUNK.
GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME! GET IN THERE.
[ Tape Squealing .]
[ Simone .]
HEY! OPEN THE DOOR! [ Sipowicz .]
GET OUT OF THE CAR! THAT'S YOU BUSTING 'EM? THAT'S NOTHING ON PISCIOTTA.
HE DOESN'T EVEN SAY HE'S BUYING A TICKET.
I GUESS WE COULD CHARGE THE TWO IN THE CAR WITH UNLAWFUL IMPRISONMENT.
UNLAWFUL IMPRISONMENT THE BEST YOU CAN DO OFF OF GETTING ONE MOPE TELLING THE OTHER, "DON'T DO NOTHING HERE"? YOU FIGURE HE'S SAYING, "DON'T TAKE A LEAK OUTSIDE THE RESTAURANT"? THOSE GUYS INTENDED TO KILL ME.
I DON'T HAVE ANY DOUBT ABOUT IT.
I UNDERSTAND THAT'S HOW YOU'RE FEELING MR.
HOYT, BUT MY BEST LOOK AT A CONVICTION'S PROSECUTING THE BUSBOYS WHO ACTUALLY DID KILL THAT GRAFFITI ARTIST.
THAT IS GONNA GUARANTEE I'M NOT GONNA GET MY PAINTINGS.
TRUTH IS, WALTER, LOOKING TO CROAK YOU HOW THEY WERE, THAT MEANS THEY ALREADY DESTROYED THE PAINTINGS-- GETTING RID OF THE EVIDENCE.
TRY FLIPPING ONE OF THE BUSBOYS AGAIN? - OFF WHAT NEW LEVERAGE? - IT'S WHAT WE GOT, ALL RIGHT, COHEN? MEANWHILE, WE WANT GUARDS WITH WALTER AROUND THE CLOCK.
I'LL GET A DETAIL FROM THE D.
A.
's SQUAD.
I'M DUCKING A CALL FROM A STEVEN MONOHAN OF COUNCIL TO JIMMY LIERY? [ Fancy .]
YEAH, I SPOKE TO INSPECTOR WALLACE AT O.
C.
C.
B.
WE'RE GOING TO VOID LIERY'S ARREST.
FOLKS OUGHT TO GET YOUR LEFT AND RIGHT HANDS INTRODUCED.
I CAN GET THE ONE BUSBOY IN WITHOUT HIS LAWYER WRAPPED AROUND HIM.
PANETTI.
KEEP MR.
HOYT WITH YOU TILL THE D.
A.
's SQUAD SHOWS UP.
REALLY BOTHERS ME TO LOSE EVERYTHING I WORKED FOR OFF TRYING TO HELP.
I CAN APPRECIATE YOUR FEELINGS.
YOU UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE COME TO VIOLENCE.
COME ON, WALTER.
- TURN LIERY LOOSE.
- YEP.
YOU GONNA RELEASE HIM NOW? YEAH.
YOU CAN GO.
YOU LOSE THE MACHINE GUN.
MUST'VE BEEN A REAL SLOW MORNING.
SIGN FOR THAT.
[ Takes Deep Breath .]
YOU SAID SOMETHING BEFORE.
SOMEONE SLIPPED YOU A MICKEY? SLIPPEDMEA MICKEY? YEAH.
NAH.
YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT? "I MUST BE PUNCHY.
SOMEBODY SLIPPED ME A MICKEY.
" IN YOUR APARTMENT? YEAH.
YEAH, I SAID IT.
YEAH? BUT NOBODY SLIPPED ME A MICKEY.
JUST AN EXPRESSION.
JUST AN EXPRESSION.
DONE WITH THE POKEY, BOBBY? YEAH.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE I OUTTA PUT SOME PAPER ON YOU AND THE MAYOR, COST YOU FOR THE SUCKER PUNCH.
OR WE CAN GO OUTSIDE.
I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO SUE ABOUT.
GONE? MM-HMM.
STAY AWAY FROM HIM FOR A FEW DAYS, DIANE.
- WHY? - JUST LET IT QUIET DOWN.
IT COULD CLOSE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
BOBBY, JUST STAY OUT OF IT.
[ Sighs .]
YEAH, I'M THE WORRIED EX-BOYFRIEND THAT DOESN'T REALIZE THAT EVERYTHING HERE IS UNDER CONTROL.
EX, HUH? THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A GUY WHO DRUGGED YOU, WHO COULD DO ANYTHING ELSE AND IS IN YOUR HEAD ENOUGH THAT YOU'RE DOING STUFF THAT COULD COST YOU YOUR SHIELD.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THE BULLET IN THAT LADY'S WALL, IS THAT FROM YOUR GUN? I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU WOULD HURT YOURSELF OVER THIS GUY, BUT I'M ASKING YOU TO LET IT SIT.
AS MY EX-BOYFRIEND.
[ Sighs .]
IF I'M YOUR BOYFRIEND, WILL YOU LET IT SIT? LOOK, MY THING IS, I DON'T WANT SOMETHING STUPID TO HAPPEN BEFORE IT HAS A CHANCE TO GET STRAIGHTENED OUT, OKAY? OKAY.
I'LL STAY AWAY FROM HIM FOR A FEW DAYS.
YOU TELL ME NEIL DIED UNNATURALLY, I SAY I'M UNINVOLVED.
- THAT'S YOUR STORY.
- IT'S GOD'S TRUTH.
YEAH? WELL, WE KNOW YOU'RE LYING, AND THAT MAKES YOU A MURDER SUSPECT.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? LOOK, WE NOT ONLY KNOW THAT SOMEONE FRACTURED RUTLEDGE'S SKULL-- WE KNOW WHOSE PRINTS CAME OFF THAT COLD DUCK BOTTLE, TOMMY.
WE WERE ALL THREE OF US DRINKING FROM THAT BOTTLE.
HOW IT LOOKS NOW, TOMMY, YOU'RE GONNA GET CHARGED WITH THIS HOMICIDE.
YOU'RE GONNA DRAW SOME BEAT-UP LEGAL AID LAWYER COULDN'T GET A WALK FOR ST.
FRANCIS.
NOW, IF YOUR PAL ARNIE WAS THE BAD GUY, YOU GOTTA GET IN FRONT OF THAT FAST.
WHAT MUST'VE HAPPENED, NEIL MUST'VE FELL ON THE STAIRS AND HIT HIS HEAD, AND COME BACK UP AND LAY DOWN AND DIED.
THE MORE CRAP YOU MAKE UP, THE MORE I FIGURE IT'S YOU THAT DID IT.
NOBODY CAN WALK EVEN A STEP WITH A HEAD INJURY LIKE THAT.
WE GOT HIS PRINTS.
I'M READY TO CHARGE THIS GUY.
COME ON.
- COME ON.
GET UP.
GET UP! - NO, NO, NO! I'M GONNA GIVE YOU ARNIE! TH-THERE WAS A BIG STINK OVER MONEY.
NEIL STILL HAD SOME LEFT, BUT HE WOULDN'T MAKE ANOTHER BUY.
HE WANTED TO GO TO WORK, AND ARNIE WANTED TO KEEP BINGEING.
SO WE WERE GONNA TIE HIM UP AND ROB HIM.
IT WAS ARNIE'S IDEA.
ONLY ARNIE TURNS OUT TO BE SCARED OF HIM, SO HE HITS HIM WITH THE COLD DUCK BOTTLE.
IT JUST KNOCKED NEIL ON HIS KNEES, AND HE DIDN'T SEEM THAT OUT OF IT.
SO ARNIE JUST LET GO WITH THIS BIG SWING, AND IT WAS JUST TOO MUCH.
GOD.
ARNIE'S SO STUPID, YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
SO, HERE'S WHAT HE GETS ME IN.
YEAH, YOU'RE A REAL HARD-LUCK GUY.
COME ON.
SIT DOWN, PANETTI.
OVER HERE? GETTING READY FOR THE BIG DAY? WHAT? THE TRIAL? I JUST WANT TO GET MY NAMED CLEARED.
THAT'S IT.
FRANKIE PISCIOTTA BUY YOU THESE CLOTHES? NO.
I PAID FOR 'EM.
YEAH, THESE DAYS, YOU'RE PROBABLY THE BEST-PAID BUSBOY IN AMERICA, HUH, JERRY? IS FRANK PISCIOTTA A STAND-UP? YES.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS LOOKING TO DO, MAKE A CRIME OF THAT TOO? [ Sipowicz .]
JERRY, WE'RE LOOKING TO TAKE THE DICE OUT OF YOUR HANDS.
WHERE "A," YOU'RE FOUND GUILTY, OR EITHER ONE NIGHT FRANKIE PUTS FOUR LINES EXTRA UP HIS NOSE AND HE DECIDES THAT YOU AND PAUL BELLINI'D LOOK BETTER IN A DITCH.
IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
JERRY, SAY, "IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN, I DON'T THINK," OKAY? OTHERWISE, YOU SOUND LIKE A MORON.
DO THESE CLOTHES LOOK LIKE FRANKIE DON'T LOOK OUT FOR US? ALL RIGHT, HERE'S A LITTLE QUIZ FOR YOU, JERRY.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW? YOU READY? WHERE'S SAMMY "THE BULL" GRAVANO, PRESENT TIME? I WISH I KNEW.
GOTTI WOULD SEND ME A MILLION BUCKS FROM PRISON.
SO, THE ANSWER TO THE CATEGORY, "WHERE ARE THEY NOW?" YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THE BULL IS.
CORRECT, JERRY? CORRECT IS CORRECT.
WHEREAS JOHN GOTTI, YOU KNOW HIS EXACT LOCATION.
YEAH, HE'S IN THE JOINT.
BECAUSE GOTTI ROLLED THE DICE, AND THE BULL TOOK THE SURE THING.
GOTTI GOT CONVICTED, WHICH YOU'RE ELIGIBLE TO GET TOO.
AND GRAVANO, THAT GAVE HIM UP, HE'S SUNBATHING WITH SOME BROAD ON A BEACH SOMEWHERES AND NOBODY KNOWS WHERE THE HELL IT IS.
JERRY, YOU GOTTA ASK YOURSELF, ARE YOU EVER GONNA BE SAFE FROM ONE DAY FRANK PISCIOTTA DECIDING, "YOU KNOW, THERE ARE TWO GUYS OUT THERE THAT CAN PUT ME AWAY "JUST LIKE THE BULL PUT GOTTI AWAY.
"NOW, THESE TWO GUYS, THEY'RE BETTER OFF LYING DEAD SOMEWHERE IN A DITCH WITH THEIR HEADS BEATEN IN, COVERED UP WITH LYE.
" YEAH, THAT'S A SITUATION THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO BUY NO NEW WARDROBES.
THIS IS A CONSPIRACY, WHAT YOU GUYS'RE DOING.
JERRY! THE BULL DID 18 MURDERS HE ADMITS TO, AND HE'S KICKING BACK ON A BEACH 'CAUSE HE HAD WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS MORE THAN THEY WANT HIM.
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MORE THE GOVERNMENT WANTS PISCIOTTA THAN YOU, JERRY? YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF DEAL THEY'D GIVE YOU IN WITNESS PROTECTION? THE "A" DEAL, JERRY.
A GRAVANO-TYPE DEAL.
OTHERWISE, YOU ROLL THE DICE.
DOES THE JURY CONVICT YOU OR WAIT FOR PISCIOTTA TO BEAT YOUR HEAD IN? THEY'D WRITE A DEAL OUT, THEORETICALLY? CHAPTER AND VERSE? A GRAVANO-TYPE DEAL.
I'D TELL YOU WHATI'DDEMAND-- GRAVANO'S TYPE OF DEAL, WORD FOR WORD.
BUT I'M NOT SAYING I'M GOING FOR IT.
- HOW COULD THEY SAY NO? - HE'S GOT FISTFULS OF THEIR SHORT HAIRS IN EITHER HAND.
THIS MAN IS COMPLETELY IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT.
IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME HE'S DONE THIS.
HE DOESN'T CARE IF HIS MOTHER'S WORRYING.
[ Scoffs .]
THREE MONTHS, WE DON'T HEAR NOTHING.
WERE YOU ROUGH ON HIM, MR.
ROMERO? WE TREAT HIM GOOD, LIKE ALL OUR KIDS.
I'M ASKING YOU.
DID YOU PERSONALLY BEAT HIM A LOT? I DON'T NEED NO LECTURES FROM YOU, ALL RIGHT? I'M A TAXPAYER.
I'M NOT ON THE STREET.
MARCO'S IN THERE.
[ Knocks .]
MARCO, YOUR FATHER'S GONNA TAKE YOU HOME.
- IS MY MOTHER HERE? - NO, IT'S JUST ME.
LET'S GO.
- CAN I TAKE THE COMIC BOOKS? - YEAH, YOU CAN HAVE 'EM.
NO, DON'T GO BUMMING THINGS, ALL RIGHT? THEY DON'T BELONG TO YOU.
THAT HOW YOU GET ALONG ON THE STREET, BEGGING? HE CAN HAVE THE COMIC BOOKS.
WHAT ABOUT MY SLEEPING BAGS? CAN WE GO DOWN TO FIRST AND PICK UP MY SLEEPING BAGS? NO.
FORGET YOUR JUNK.
YOU KNOW, I SAID YOU CAN'T TAKE THOSE.
HEY.
LET'S GO BACK OUTSIDE A MINUTE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU? HOW MANY LOVED ONES YOU THINK YOU GOT? YOU BETTER NOT LAY HANDS ON ME.
MR.
ROMERO, I'M GONNA BE KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH MARCO, AND IF I FIND OUT YOU'RE KNOCKING THAT KID AROUND, I'M GONNA COME BACK AND LOCK YOU UP FOR CHILD ABUSE.
NOW, GO BACK IN THERE AND TAKE YOUR KID HOME.
- SO, COME ON.
- CAN I? YEAH.
TAKE 'EM.
[ Chattering .]
I'M JACK PALERMO, COUNSEL FOR FRANK PISCIOTTA.
MR.
PISCIOTTA'S BEEN ASKED TO TURN HIMSELF IN.
THAT'D BE OUR CASE.
THIS IS A SICK PERVERSION ON AMERICAN JUSTICE.
ALL RIGHT, FRANK.
YOU HOUND WORKING PEOPLE TILL THEY GIVE UP THEIR DEAR ONES LIKE NAZI FASCIST GERMANY.
YOU GET TOLD HOW YOU LOOK LIKE HITLER, FRANK? AND A LITTLE BIT BONGO THE CHIMP.

WHAT'S GOING ON? I'VE GOT SOME GOOD NEWS, BUT THERE'S NO POINT IN PISSING THIS GUY OFF.
- WHERE'S YOUR COFFEE ROOM? - OVER THERE.
- DID YOU FIND MY PAINTINGS? - NO.
BUT, UH, ONE OF THEM BUSBOYS, HE'S GOING FOR THE HOMICIDE.
WHY WOULD HE DO THAT? HE GETS A DEAL FOR, UH-- FOR GIVING UP PISCIOTTA ORDERED THE WHACK.
IT'S A-- IT'S A NICE PACKAGE FROM WITNESS PROTECTION.
[ Clears Throat .]
THAT'S PISCIOTTA GETTING TAKEN TO BE BOOKED.
I SEE.
YOU WON'T GET YOUR WORK BACK OR SO FORTH.
I'M GONNA TRY MORE DIRECT EXPRESSION IN MY WORK.
A LONG TIME, MY PAINTING'S BEEN INFERENTIAL-- DEFINE THINGS BY WHAT THEY'RE NOT.
BUT MY HEART IS SO FULL NOW, IF I DON'T ENGAGE THE CANVAS MORE, THIS THING'S GONNA BEAT ME.
DOES THAT MAKE THAT PAINTING YOU GAVE ME WORTH MORE OR LESS? DEPENDS ON WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
YEAH, I GUESS THAT'S TRUE GENERALLY.

SIT DOWN.
BOBBY, SOMETIMES PROMOTION TO FIRST GRADE IS BASED ON A SPECIFIC CASE.

COMMISSIONER, NOT TO SPEAK OUT OF TURN, BUT MY PARTNER WORKED THOSE HOMICIDES AS WELL AS EVERY OTHER CASE THAT I'VE BEEN ON.

I DON'T KNOW, UM-- I'M SO SCARED.

FRIDAY NIGHTS IN HIGH SCHOOL, MY DAD'D BE WORKING UP HIS WEEKEND BENDER, GOING OFF ON MY MOM AND DOUGIE, MAKING ME HIS PRETTY PET.
AFTER SUPPER, I'D-I'D GET OUT OF THERE AND WALK BACK TO SCHOOL FOR THE HOCKEY GAME.
MY LEATHER JACKET WASN'T WARM ENOUGH, BUT I WOULDN'T WEAR ANYTHING COVERED UP MY FIGURE.

HOW DID ANDY SEEM? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? HE DIDN'T RIDE YOU HOME? UM, HE SEEMED OKAY.

YEAH.
I CRY FOR YOU EVERY DAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I COULDN'T SAY YES.
[ Sighs .]

THE BOYS HAD CRUSHES ON ME AND-- WALKING HOME, I-I-- ALWAYS FELT LIKE I COULD NEVER STOP BEING COLD.
YOU JUST NEEDED A WARMER COAT.
[ Sighs, Sniffles .]
I COULDN'T PUT ONE ON.
I WAS AFRAID TO COVER UP MY FIGURE.
I THOUGHT-- I THOUGHT I WAS ALWAYS JUST GONNA BE COLD.
[ Sighs .]
[ Sniffles .]
YOU MAKE ME WARM, AND I COULDN'T MAKE YOU HAPPY.
YOU MADE ME HAPPY.
I COULDN'T SAY YES.
I WANTED TO, AND I COULDN'T.
IT'S OKAY, DIANE.
I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD LOVE ANYBODY LIKE THIS AND THEN-- NOT TO BE ABLE TO SAY YES.
[ Whistling .]
YOU WANT THIS? YEAH.
SEE? THAT WASN'T SO HARD.
[ Whistling Continues .]
