NYPD Blue s04e22 Episode Script
A Draining Experience
Previously on "NYPD BLUE".
I WANT TO TELL YOU THIS: - I'M GETTING THOSE CHEST PAINS AGAIN.
- YEAH, HUH? TWELVE DAYS AGO I SNUCK IN NEW JERSEY FOR A STRESS TEST-- INJECTIONS IN MY VEINS-- AND I TESTED ABNORMAL.
-OH, MY GOD, MEDAVOY! - SO, IT WAS YOU, VINCE.
- YOU SCARED THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME! - STEALING QUARTERS FROM MY COFFEE CAN.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? I DON'T KNOW CAN WE LIVE ON OUR PENSION, IF THEY MAKE ME RETIRE? YOU NEED YOUR HEALTH ADDRESSED, AND YOU NEED SOME COUNSELING.
YOU'VE KNOWN SALVO SOME TIME? YEAH.
WE'VE HAD HIM UP FOR FIVE MONTHS.
HE'S A PRETTY CAREFUL GUY.
WE'D LIKE YOU TO RUN INTO HIM AGAIN.
SEE WHAT COMES OF THAT.
I GOT A PLATE NUMBER I'D LIKE YOU TO RUN FOR ME, BOBBY, WHICH I KNOW IS AN AWKWARD REQUEST.
I'M NOT GONNA ASK YOU WHY, BECAUSE I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE RUNNING PLATES FOR CIVILIANS NO MATTER WHAT.
I UNDERSTAND.
APPRECIATE THE HELP, BOBBY.
WHAT? FOR TELLING YOU A PLATE DON'T EXIST? HEY, BOBBY, I THINK WE BOTH KNOW "NO HIT" COULD ALSO MEAN COVERED LICENSE PLATE, RIGHT? CAR'S BEING USED IN AN INVESTIGATION? MORNING, JAMES.
WE'RE AROUND THE CORNER.
WHAT DO WE GOT? UH, HIJACKED BUS.
PERP'S IN THE WIND.
ANYBODY HURT? UH, NOBODY HURT, NOBODY ROBBED.
WELL, THAT'S GOOD ANYWAY.
ANY WORD ON THE, UH, ABBY SITUATION? YEAH, STILL WATCHFUL WAITIN'.
ALL'S I CAN TELL YOU, JAMES, IF SHE'S NOT PREGNANT, EXPLANATION'S ELSEWHERE.
I GAVE A GOOD SUPPLY OF SPERM.
WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED HERE? - THIS ONE TELLS IT BEST.
- THIS ONE? - MRS.
PROWS, THIS IS DETECTIVE MEDAVOY.
- HOW DO YOU DO? I THINK THIS MAY HAVE BEEN MY FAULT.
REALLY? THE DRIVER HAD TO GO TO THE LAVATORY FOR A MINUTE, AND AFTER HE GOT OFF THE BUS, I SAID TO THE MAN BESIDE ME THAT WHEN I'M LATE, MY CAT DOES HIS BUSINESS ON THE CARPET.
AND HE ASKED ME WHERE I LIVE AND I TOLD HIM, AND HE JUST WENT TO THE FRONT OF THE BUS AND GOT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND AWAY WE WENT.
UH, DID HE HAVE LIQUOR ON HIS BREATH, SEEMED LIKE HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ON DRUGS? WELL, HE DID HAVE LIQUOR ON HIS BREATH.
WHEN WE WERE SITTING NEXT TO EACH OTHER, HE WAS SINGING TO HIMSELF-- ITALIAN SERENADES.
BUT HE WAS VERY QUIET AND POLITE.
WHAT DID HE LOOK LIKE? HE WAS TALL AND LUMBERING, WITH WHITE HAIR AND LIKE HE COULD LOSE 30 POUNDS.
ALL RIGHT, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, MRS.
PROWS.
HE WAS DRIVING FINE UNTIL HE TRIED TO TAKE A SHORTCUT TO MY STREET.
ONE OF THE PASSENGERS SAID HE'D SEEN THE GUY THAT STOLE THE BUS - DRINKING A FEW DAYS AGO AT THE, UH, ALIBI LOUNGE.
-[ Medavoy .]
OH, YEAH? MOTHER OF GOD! LOOK WHAT HE DID TO MY BUS! SIR, PLEASE.
THE DRIVER.
SECTOR CAR PICKED HIM UP.
- WHAT'S YOU NAME, SIR? - JOHN O'NEIL.
WHAT IN THE HELL COULD HAVE BEEN IN HIS MIND? IT'S WEDGED IN PRETTY GOOD.
IF YOU COULD TRY TO COLLECT YOURSELF, JOHN, UH, THEN WE COULD TAKE YOUR STATEMENT, WHAT OCCURRED.
CAN'T EVEN TAKE A PISS IN THIS CITY.
I'M WITH YOU THERE.
MANY'S THE OCCASION THAT I'VE REGRETTED MY SMALL BLADDER CAPACITY.
UH, I GOTTA CALL MY DISPATCHER.
YEAH, FINE, GO AHEAD.
THEN WE'LL GET YOUR ACCOUNT.
BE FAIR TO YOURSELF, GREG.
THIS GUY GETS BACK TO YOU, YOU TELL HIM YOU DO HAVE A BIG SEMEN OUTPUT.
SO THE BUS DRIVER GAVE A DESCRIPTION? ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT.
DON'T COME IN.
GO BACK TO THAT BAR THE WITNESS TALKED ABOUT SEEING HIM AT.
SEE IF THEY CAN PUT A NAME TO THE GUY.

SO I GET SAT DOWN? NOT IF THEY COME UP WITH SALVO'S MAN OFF YOUR FIRST INTERVIEW.
WELL, IF YOU CAN'T TRUST YOUR CAREER WITH THESE GUYS, WHO CAN YOU TRUST? BOBBY.
- ANYONE YOU TELL ABOUT THIS, YOU DIDN'T DO ANY FAVOR.
- I'M TELLING HER.
IF THEY MAKE HER FOR KNOWING, SHE'LL BE JAMMED JUST TO GET HER OUT OF THE WAY.
I'M TELLING RUSSELL OR I'M GONNA TELL THE TRUTH UP AND DOWN.
AND LET 'EM SUSPEND ME FOR IMPEDING THEIR INVESTIGATION.
- WELL, I WOULDN'T TELL ANYONE ELSE.

THEY TOOK HER TO BELLEVUE.
SHE WAS PRETTY WELL BEAT UP.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S A ROBBERY? THE PLACE IS ALL RANSACKED.
[ Door Opens .]
[ Door Closes .]
I GOT MR.
PEEPERS.

- YOU HAVE TO UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR DOOR BROKEN DOWN.
- TALK TO ME THROUGH THE CRACK.
- [ Sighs .]
- A VIOLENT CRIME WAS COMMITTED ON YOUR NEIGHBOR.
- YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME.
I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU, HUH? BUT YOU DIDN'T SEE NOTHING.
I'VE SEEN POLICE COMING AND GOING, AND I'VE-- AND I'VE SEEN SONJA TAKEN OUT ON A GURNEY.
I THINK YOU'VE SEEN A LOT MORE THAN THAT.
NOW OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR.
- NO.
- WHERE'S YOUR BUILDING SUPER? I'M THE SUPER.
YOU'RE THE SUPER? OPEN THIS DOOR BEFORE I KNOCK IT DOWN.
- WHAT'S YOUR NAME? - STEVEN CAMERON.
- STEVEN, YOU'RE COMING TO THE STATION HOUSE.

DON'T TELL ME I CAN'T MAKE YOU.
NOW COME WITH ME TO THE STATION HOUSE.
ALL RIGHT.
JUST, UM, BE RIGHT THERE.
- THE GUY SAW A LOT.
- HE SAID THAT? MORE OR LESS.
LET'S GO.
COME ON, STEVEN.
LET'S GO.
- I'M COMING ON MY OWN VOLITION, AND I-I CAN LEAVE WHEN I WANT.
- SURE.
I-I KNOW I AM ENTITLED TO A COUNSEL.
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU NEED ONE? BECAUSE I-- I-I DON'T INTEND TO-- TO LET YOU BADGER ME INTO-- INTO DOING SOMETHING AGAINST MY BETTER INTERESTS.
WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE YOU COMMITTED A CRIME? HUH? IS THAT IT? WHAT DO YOU LIKE, STEVEN OR STEVE? THAT DEPENDS ON-- ON WHO I'M TALKING TO.
STEVE ALL RIGHT FROM ME? YEAH.
YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IF YOU PREFER.
STEVE, WE'LL BE ON A LOT BETTER FOOTING YOU LET ME ASK MY OWN QUESTIONS.
SURE, 'CAUSE YOU'RE THE TOUGH COP, RIGHT? DID YOU COMMIT A CRIME? NO.
STEVE, IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU'RE A WITNESS-- STEVE, YOU KNOW IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO COME FORWARD AS A CITIZEN, STEVIE BOY, STEVIE, HEY, HUH, STEVIE BOY? THAT'S AN INTERESTING THING YOU DO THERE, STEVE.
YOU MUST BE A REAL BIG HIT AT PARTIES.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA MAKE ME HELP YOU WITH SOMETHING COULD GET ME KILLED OR BADLY INJURED OR BADLY BEATEN, SO-- BUT YOU WERE A WITNESS.
YEAH, BUT DON'T PUT-- DON'T-- DON'T PUT-- DON'T PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH 'CAUSE-- WE'RE NOT GONNA PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH, STEVE, AND WE'RE NOT GONNA PUT A FIST IN YOUR MOUTH AND KNOCK YOU ACROSS THE ROOM AND HAVE YOU SPITTIN' YOUR TEETH OUT LIKE CHICLETS.
WE'RE NOT GONNA DO THAT.
WHEN WE WERE IN OUR LOCKER ROOM JUST NOW, STEVE, MY PARTNER SAYS TO ME, UH, "I THINK THIS SUPER REALLY WANTS TO COOPERATE.
HE'S JUST A LITTLE AFRAID.
" IT'S NO CRIME IN BEING AFRAID, STEVE.
ESPECIALLY IF YOU'VE SEEN SOMETHING THAT SHAKES YOU UP INSIDE.
BUT NOW-NOW I HAVE TWO-- MY TWO NEW FRIENDS, RIGHT? SO, I DON'T-- I DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID NO MORE.
'CAUSE THE RAPIST, THE ONE AT LARGE, ONCE I TELL YOU WHO HE IS, NO-- NO CHANCE HE DON'T GO TO JAIL.
RIGHT? WIND UP BACK OUT ON THE STREETS LOOKING TO HURT ME.
RIGHT? I MEAN, THERE'S NO CHANCE, RIGHT, GOOD BUDDIES? GARY WILDER.
B3.
[ Sighs .]
THE OTHER BUILDING I'M THE SUPER AT.
- HEY, GINA.
- HEY.
LET'S TALK IN THE COFFEE ROOM, VINCE.
SURE.
MAKE IT AS PUBLIC AS YOU CAN.
- I'LL BE IN IN JUST A SECOND.
- YEAH, WHILE YOU RUN ME DOWN FOR FANCY, RIGHT, MEDAVOY? LET'S JUST GET SOME COFFEE NOW, VINCE, ALL RIGHT? WHAT'S THAT? VINCE GOTELLI IN A HUGE JACKPOT.
HE'S WHO STOLE THE BUS? DRIVER STEPS OFF TO PISS, VINCE HAS HAD A FEW, I GUESS UPSET WITH HIS HEALTH PROBLEMS, DECIDES HE'LL GIVE THE PASSENGERS DOOR-TO-DOOR SERVICE.
WHO KNOWS ABOUT IT? NOBODY, BOSS.
DID TELLI SHOW HIS SHIELD TO GET ON? DRIVER MADE NO MENTION OF THAT.
[ Medavoy .]
WE GOTTA BRING I.
A.
B.
IN? LET ME HAVE THE DRIVER'S NAME.
I'LL SEE WHERE IT STANDS WITH HIS SUPERVISOR.
HE'S TWO MONTHS SHORT OF 30 YEARS, BOSS.
I DON'T NEED YOU TELLING ME THAT, GREG.
EXCUSE ME.
POINT TAKEN.
IS HE SOBER ENOUGH TO GIVE A STATEMENT? WE'LL WALK HIM THROUGH THAT.
ALL RIGHT, TAKE IT, BUT DON'T FILE IT.
I HAVE A CLEAN RECORD.
WE PUT YOU THROUGH OUR COMPUTER, GARY, SO WE KNOW THAT'S TRUE.
PLUS, IF WE DIDN'T KNOW IT, THAT'S THE 17th TIME YOU TOLD US.
I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY SOMEONE KNOCKED OUT WITH A MIGRAINE CAN BE DRAGGED OUT OF HIS BED WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHY YOU WANT TO TALK TO HIM.
EVER HAPPEN WITH YOU, GARY, RIGHT OFF MEETING SOMEONE, YOU FEEL LIKE HE'S A LYING SACK OF CRAP? YOU SEE ANY RADIO CARS OUTSIDE YOUR BUILDING THIS MORNING? YOU MEAN POLICE CARS? POLICE CARS, RIGHT.
I HEARD SIRENS.
I WAS LYING IN MY BED WITH THE SHADES DRAWN.
- KNOCKED OUT BY YOUR MIGRAINE? -THERE WAS A ROBBERY ACROSS THE STREET.
LIKE I SAID, I-- I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.
OUR THOUGHT WAS MORE YOU DID IT.
- WELL, YOU'RE WRONG.
- IF YOU DID DO IT, GARY, WHICH YOUR PHOTO'S BEEN PICKED OUT BY SEVERAL DIFFERENT WITNESSES, -YOU'RE IN A BETTER WAY THAN YOU DESERVE.
- WOMAN'S GONNA RECOVER.
YOU PLEAD TO THE ROBBERY, PROBABLY DO THREE YEARS.
I HAD A MIGRAINE, SO I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
NOW I WANT A LAWYER.
DIDN'T HAVE A MIGRAINE, YOU'D HAVE DONE IT? HOPE THAT DIDN'T MAKE YOUR HEADACHE WORSE.
TWITCH SUPER'S IN 3? YEAH.
I'LL PUT A PHOTO ARRAY TOGETHER.
ONE THING I DON'T WANT, HE THROWS UP ON MY SHOES OFF HIS NERVOUSNESS.
- HEY.
- HI.
WHAT'S GOTELLI DOING IN? - UH, HE HIJACKED THAT BUS.
- WHAT? - YEAH.
- OH, MAN.
- THE RAT SQUAD'S GOT IT YET? - GREG SAYS FANCY'S TRYING TO HEAD THAT OFF.
MAYBE HIM AND VINCE GO FURTHER BACK.
WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING, BOBBY.
I.
A.
B.
WILL HANG YOU OUT.
IF THEY SEE IT'S US DOING SOMETHING, THEY'LL HANG YOU OUT TOO.
I GOTTA DO THIS PHOTO ARRAY.
I'M GONNA TAKE A PEE.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GRABBED MY WRIST THIS MORNING, IT HURT.
TRAINED DETECTIVE.
YOU DON'T HAVE HIS-HIS PICTURE, AND NOW-NOW YOU DO HAVE HIS PICTURE.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, HE'S IN THE BUILDING? I KNOW THIS COMES NATURAL TO YOU, STEVE, TRY TO RELAX.
HOW'S IT GOING? BEST DAY OF MY LIFE.
ALL RIGHT, TELL US IF YOU RECOGNIZE ANYONE, AND IF SO, FROM WHERE? - WILDER'S NOT IN THERE.
- IT'S JUST US CHICKENS IN HERE, STEVE, BUT DON'T SAY A NAME UNTIL YOU SEE A PICTURE YOU RECOGNIZE.
THAT'S GARY WILDER.
PAST BEING A TENANT IN ONE OF THE BUILDINGS THAT YOU'RE A SUPER AT, WHERE DO YOU RECOGNIZE THAT MAN FROM? RUNNING FROM THE APARTMENT WHERE SONJA HUDSON WAS ROBBED AND-AND RAPED AND BEATEN.
[ Sighs .]
ARE YOU GONNA ARREST HIM? WE'RE GONNA WORK ON THAT RIGHT NOW.
I'M NOT WALKING OUT OF THIS BUILDING UNLESS YOU PUT HIM UNDER ARREST! SO YOU COULD BECOME LIKE A STATION HOUSE MASCOT? OH, OH, YOU'RE ALREADY SHOWING YOU DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO ME.
- THAT'S NOT TRUE, STEVE.
-CAMERON, WHAT YOU JUST DID TOOK BALLS.
AND I RESPECT YOU FOR IT.
WE'LL TALK TO THE D.
A.
NOW.
COHEN'S RIDING.
I SAW HIM ABOUT 10 MINUTES AGO HEADING FOR THE THIRD FLOOR.
YEAH.
GOOD.
- WHAT'S THAT ABOUT? - YOU GOT A MINUTE FOR US, DETECTIVE? - YEAH, SURE.
- THE, UH, COFFEE ROOM'S TIED UP, BOBBY.
WELL, ALL THE INTERVIEW ROOMS ARE TIED UP THEN.
WELL, MAYBE YOU CAN TAKE IT DOWNSTAIRS? - SURE.
- OKAY.
YOU GOT A MINUTE, COHEN? BEING HOW NO ONE ELSE CHOOSES TO CONVERSE WITH ME.
WHAT'S GOING ON, DETECTIVE? I'M THE LAST PERSON TO ASK ABOUT THAT.
[ Clears Throat .]
WE GOT A WITNESS TO THE IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH PICKED THE GUY'S PHOTO OUT FOR A ROBBERY-SEXUAL ASSAULT.
CAN YOU GET THE SUSPECT TO STAND IN A LINEUP? LAWYERED UP.
VERY STRONG I.
D.
FROM THE WITNESS.
HE'S A SUPER.
THE PERP'S A TENANT AT ONE OF HIS OTHER BUILDINGS.
COULD THE WITNESS HAVE MADE THE I.
D.
OFF SOME KIND OF GRUDGE? NO.
NO.
THIS-- THIS GUY DIDN'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED AT ALL.
HE'S SCARED OUT OF HIS MIND THE PERP WILL MAKE BAIL AND CLEAN HIS CLOCK.
ALL RIGHT, WE'LL FILE ON THE GUY.
VICTIM'S ON LIFE SUPPORT, BUT THEY THINK SHE'S GOING OUT.
CAN YOU GET A HIGH BAIL SET OFF THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE CHARGE GOES TO MURDER? I WON'T BE AT ARRAIGNMENT, BUT, UH, I'LL ENTER A NOTE IN THE FILE.
WHAT'S THE COLLAR'S NAME? GARY WILDER.
I'M GONNA GO LOCK HIM UP.
ALL RIGHT.
UH, I'M WORRIED THIS MOPE WITNESS COULD GET HURT.
WOULD I PISS YOU OFF ASKING YOU TO, UH, PUT THE HIGH BAIL NOTE IN THE FILE AND CALL THE ARRAIGNING D.
A.
? IF EVERY FASCIST LOOKED OUT FOR VICTIMS AND WITNESSES AS WELL AS YOU DO, SIPOWICZ, BILL OF RIGHTS ISSUES WOULD BE A LOT MORE COMPLICATED.
HEY, THIS DAY'S GOING BAD ENOUGH.
IF I WERE YOU, I WOULDN'T BE MAKING ANY WISECRACKS.
[ Chuckles .]
FOR THE RECORD, DETECTIVE, HAVE YOU BEEN GIVEN YOUR RIGHTS AND TOLD THAT THIS INVESTIGATION CONCERNS YOUR USE OF DEPARTMENT FILES TO OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT A VEHICLE ON LOAN TO ANOTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY? YEAH.
COULD YOU MOVE CLOSER OR RAISE YOUR VOICE? YES, I UNDERSTAND.
SPECIFICALLY, YOU RAN A COVERED PLATE.
WHAT'S THE QUESTION? ARE YOU PREPARED TO DISCUSS THE CIRCUMSTANCES OR REASONS WHY YOU RAN THE PLATE? - NO.
- AND WHY IS THAT? I RAN THE PLATE.
I PUT IN MY ACCESS NUMBER.
I DIDN'T TRY TO HIDE WHAT I WAS DOING.
I'M ASKING WHAT YOUR INTENTION OR PURPOSE WAS IN DOING THAT.
FIND OUT WHO THE PLATE WAS ISSUED TO.
[ Clicks Off .]
[ Sighs .]
ARE YOU GONNA SIT HERE JERKING ME OFF? [ Scoffs .]
YOU KNOW, MARTENS, I HOPE EVERY DAY GOES BY I LEARN SOMETHING FROM SOMEONE.
YOU TOLD ME SOMETHING MAYBE 18 MONTHS AGO.
- DEFINITELY WAS MY LESSON FOR THAT DAY.
- WHICH WAS WHAT? "EVERYTHING'S A SITUATION.
" I THOUGHT WE HAD A RELATIONSHIP, GIVEN THE GIVENS.
I DON'T DISAGREE WITH YOU.
WHICH IS WHY I'M REMINDING YOU OF THE LESSON YOU TOLD ME.
HOW EVERYTHING'S A SITUATION.
MEANING YOU'RE IN A SITUATION RIGHT NOW YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN RUNNING THAT PLATE.
[ Sighs .]
THAT'S NOT GONNA BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR MY BOSSES, SIMONE.
I'LL HAVE TO GO AFTER YOU.
YOU DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO.
[ Sighs .]
LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS HOW'S IT'S GONNA BE.
I'LL BRING SOME BOOKS OVER.
- YOU WANT THE COVER CHARGE BACK? - YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I MEANT.
[ Phone Rings .]
YEAH.
YEAH, HOW'S IT GOING? UH, NO, I'M WORKING.
I CAN'T DO THAT, JOE.
JOE, HOW'D YOU GET MY PHONE? THAT RIGHT? I'M GETTIN' FORGETFUL.
YEAH, GOOD.
UH-HUH.
TAKE CARE.
- HOW'D SALVO GET YOUR PHONE? - I GAVE HIM THE NUMBER.
YOU DID? SHOWING ME HIS LONG REACH.
LET'S GO IN SEPARATE.
OKAY.
I'M GONNA HAVE TO BEEP THIS NERVOUS LITTLE TWERP, AND IF I'M LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND HIM, I'M GONNA BE STANDING IN THREE INCHES OF PISS.
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR HOW ANYTHING FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS, COHEN.
YOU DO WHAT YOU SAY OR YOU DON'T.
OH, YEAH.
YEAH.
BRING UP THE NOTE THAT YOU PUT IN HIS FILE.
THAT'LL HAVE A REAL HAPPY OUTCOME FOR THE BOTH OF US.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON.
ANDY, I TOLD YOU, I CAN'T-- YOU TOLD ME DICK.
NOW THESE GUYS ARE PULLING YOUR 61s.
THAT'S MY NAME ON THEM THINGS TOO.
COULD I TALK TO YOU A MINUTE? - GET A LAWYER.
- THINK HE NEEDS A LAWYER? OFF THE RECORD? SURE.
[ Sipowicz .]
KISS MY MALE ORGAN.
THIS WILL BE OFF THE RECORD.
YEAH.
ALL RIGHT.
IN CASE YOU WANTED TO KNOW, THAT RAPE-ASSAULT? WOMAN'S DEAD.
THE PERP MADE BAIL.
HOW DID THEY GIVE THIS GUY MAKEABLE BAIL? HOW YOU GONNA TALK WITH THIS JERK? HE'S LOOKING TO HANG YOU BY YOUR THUMBS.
STRANGE THINGS OCCUR.
- SORRY ABOUT ALL THAT.
- SURE.
DO YOU THINK WE EAT KIDS FOR BREAKFAST? I THINK HUMILIATING THE COP IS PART OF WHAT YOU GUYS DO TO TRY TO SOFTEN HIM UP.
SHOWS WHAT'S IN STORE FOR HIM IF HE DON'T START HELPING HIMSELF.
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED TO TELL ME OFF THE RECORD? THAT PLATE YOU RAN WAS COVERED 'CAUSE IT WAS PART OF AN F.
B.
I.
OPERATION.
- AND? - AND WHEN WE ASKED THE AGENCY ABOUT IT, - THEY CAN'T RELEASE THAT INFORMATION.
- I CAN'T RELEASE IT EITHER.
YOU CAN'T EITHER BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW OR BECAUSE YOU'RE IN A SITUATION YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT? IS THAT WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO TELL ME YESTERDAY? IF I WAS IN A SITUATION, I GUESS I'D BE JAMMING MYSELF UP ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION.
YEAH, BUT YOU'D LIKE TO IF YOU COULD, HMM? YOU'RE GETTING CAUGHT IN THE SWITCHES, AREN'T YOU, SIMONE? I'D LIKE NOT TO HAVE YOU PEOPLE GOING THROUGH MY 61s LIKE I WAS SOME KIND OF THIEF.
I'D LIKE NOT TO HAVE ANDY SIPOWICZ UP TO GET SCREWED JUST BECAUSE HE'S MY PARTNER.
MY OFFICE IS GONNA HANG YOU OUT.
THEY'LL FIND A MISTAKE IN YOUR 61s OR TRIP YOU UP ON SOME INTEGRITY TEST IN THE STREET.
BUT THAT'S NOT YOU.
I KNOW WHAT THE F.
B.
I.
IS DOING.
I KNOW THEY'RE LOOKING AT JOE SALVO.
NOW WHY DON'T THEY WANT MY OFFICE TO KNOW THAT? ASK THE F.
B.
I.
IT AIN'T EVEN IN YOUR MOUTH, HUH, SIMONE? HOOK'S RIGHT IN YOUR BELLY.
I'M GONNA WORK MY SHIFT.
DON'T ANSWER HIS BEEPER.
DON'T ANSWER ANY OF THE OTHER FOUR NUMBERS HE GAVE ME, TILL I THOUGHT HE WAS NEVER LEAVING THE STATION HOUSE.
BUT HIS BEEPER, THAT WAS 24 HOURS.
THAT HE SLEEPS WITH NEXT TO HIS EAR.
SO I GOT THAT NUMBER.
AND I-I ALWAYS GOT CONTACT WITH HIM.
AND NOW-- NOW HE DON'T ANSWER, AND THIS ASSHOLE'S ON THE STREET.
-GET THOSE FILES OFF THERE! - EASY, ANDY.
-THAT'S A WORKING DETECTIVE'S DESK, YOU ASSHOLE CHEESE-EATER! -TAKE IT EASY, ANDY.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT EASY, HUH? THERE'S RATS ALL OVER THIS OFFICE, THIS GUY'S IN TROUBLE, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! CONTROL YOUR MAN, LIEUTENANT.
DON'T TELL ME HOW TO RUN MY OFFICE.
- WHAT ARE LETTING HAPPEN HERE, HUH? -[ Fancy .]
THAT'S ENOUGH.
WE GOTTA GO LOOK FOR THIS SUPER, AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GONNA LIKE WHAT WE FIND.
- THIS IS THE RAPE-ASSAULT? - NOW IT'S A RAPE-HOMICIDE, AND MAYBE STILL COUNTING.
- WE'RE GOING OVER TO HIS BUILDING.
-WE'LL WANT TO BE ALERT.
DOES ANYONE ON THE RAT SQUAD FOLLOW US, CATCH US FOR RUNNING RED LIGHTS.
- ARE YOU LIEUTENANT FANCY? - YEAH.
WHAT DO YOU NEED? I'M LOU GARVEY, JOHN O'NEIL'S BOSS.
OH, YEAH.
WE CAN TALK IN HERE.
HOW WE DOING ON THAT BUS? WELL, UM, WE'VE GOT SOME PRELIMINARY PIECES PUT TOGETHER.
UM, RIDERS' STATEMENTS AND SO FORTH.
I THOUGHT YOU AND I SHOULD TALK BEFORE WE WENT MUCH FURTHER.
- APPRECIATE THAT CONSIDERATION.
- YEAH.
WE'VE SPOKEN WITH THE PASSENGERS.
EXCEPT FOR THE IDIOT THAT HIJACKED THE BUS.
YEAH, EXCEPT FOR THAT IDIOT, RIGHT.
HOW'S IT ADD UP FOR MY GUY? WELL, LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY, LOU.
I COULD PUT A LOT OF MANPOWER ON THIS CASE, POSSIBLY FIND A PERPETRATOR.
BUT WHOEVER IT IS PROSECUTES THAT CASE HAS TO INVOLVE THE FACTS COMING OUT THAT YOUR MAN MADE AN UNAUTHORIZED STOP.
FAILED TO SAFEGUARD HIS BUS.
NOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW IT LAYS OUT AT THE TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY, BUT ON MY JOB, OFFICER GETS HUNG, BOSS GETS STRUNG UP TOO.
- I HEAR YOU.
- OTHER THING THAT CONCERNS ME, THE MORE GETS MADE OF THIS, I THINK THE CITY'S LOOKING AT SOME KIND OF LAWSUIT FROM THOSE PASSENGERS.
OH.
I HEAR YOU THERE TOO.
AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, HAS THE PRESS GOTTEN AHOLD OF THIS? [ Chuckles .]
NO.
I GOT THAT BUS TOWED FAST.
I'M JUST THINKING IF LOW-KEY ISN'T A BETTER WAY TO GO.
HMM.
LIEUTENANT, UH, I'M NOT OPENING YOUR EYES NONE IF I TELL YOU THAT, UH, THERE'S SOME REAL BAD GUYS OUT ON OUR STREETS.
IT'S NOT A SHOCK TO ME, LOU, NO.
WITH THAT ELEMENT CIRCULATING AND, UH, THANK GOD, NO HARM WAS DONE WITH THIS BUS PRANK, YOUR PEOPLE GOT BETTER THINGS THAN TO GO AFTER IT LIKE A NUCLEAR ATTACK.
I THINK WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE, LOU.
TELL 'EM THEY DON'T NEED TO GET ANY HERNIAS TRACKING THIS THING DOWN.
WELL, OKAY.
IT'S GOOD TO MEET YOU, LOU.
ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS, I'LL KEEP YOU APPRISED.
ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS, KEEP 'EM TO YOURSELF.
[ Chuckles .]
- DID YOU JUST RING MY BUZZER? - YEAH, WE NEEDED TO GET IN.
DID YOU SEE THE SUPER? LAST I SAW HIM WAS ABOUT THREE HOURS AGO.
HE WAS TAKING GARBAGE TO THE BASEMENT.
HE'S NOT HERE.

I'LL WALK THE PAPERS THROUGH MYSELF.
WHY DON'T YOU GO IN THE COFFEE ROOM, VINCE? I'LL BE WITH YOU IN JUST A SECOND.
GENTLEMEN.
PSST.
HEY, IF YOU'RE THEIR BOSS, I WAS BEATEN.
PROBABLY NOT ENOUGH.
I.
A.
B.
's INTERVIEWING MARTINEZ AND MEDAVOY.
- THAT'S ABOUT ME? - MARTINEZ AND MEDAVOY ARE TALKING TO THEM? - IT WAS AN OFFICIAL REQUEST.
- I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS OFFICIAL.
THEY'RE SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINE IF THEY DON'T.
- WHO'S CARRYING THE BAG OF SILVER? - CUT IT OUT, ANDY.
[ Medavoy .]
MEANING WHAT, ANDY? SPLIT IT 15 PIECES EACH? ANDY, I WAS IN THERE BECAUSE I'M SUSPENDED IF I DON'T, - AND JAMES WAS IN AS MY DELEGATE.
-AND GREG DIDN'T SAY DICK, WHICH I TOLD HIM NOT TO, IF YOU HAVE TO ASK, AND HE DIDN'T.
LOOK, THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT.
DON'T LET IT HAPPEN.
- HUH.
THAT LITTLE DUTCH BOY.
- ANDY.
OH, MAN.
WE'RE MAKING AN OFFICIAL REQUEST TO TALK TO YOU, DETECTIVE.
REFUSAL RESULTS IN DISCIPLINARY ACTION.
ME HAVING THE RIGHT TO COUNSEL HOW I DO, I'LL PERUSE THE YELLOW PAGES FOR A LAWYER AND I'LL GET IN TOUCH.
- SAME FOR YOU, DETECTIVE.
- WELL, I WANT TO USE ANDY'S WHEN HE'S DONE.
MIGHT BE A LITTLE DELAY.
- WHAT'S THAT ABOUT, BOB? - IT'S ABOUT HIM GETTING SCREWED AND THE JOB DON'T HELP HIM-- - DON'T DO THAT.
- THEY NEED HIM TO TAKE HIS SCREWING PRIVATELY, AND HE'S GONNA GO ALONG WITH IT.
YOU WANT TO PUT THIS GUY IN THE SYSTEM? MEANING YOU WANT ME OUT OF YOUR WAY? NICE WORKING WITH YOU.
ANYWAYS, I HOPE IT ALL WORKS OUT.
YEAH.
YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU SHOULD SPEND THE NIGHT WITH YOUR MOM.
TELL ME YOU DON'T WANT TO BE WITH ME.
DON'T TELL ME WHERE TO GO.
I DON'T WANT TO BE WITH YOU.
I GOT TO FIGURE THIS THING OUT.
HOW DO YOU FEEL, VINCE? TERRIBLE, LONG-TERM AND IMMEDIATELY.
I KNOW ABOUT YOUR HEALTH SITUATION.
IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN BY LONG-TERM? LONG-TERM CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE.
PLUS I'M HUNGOVER, AND I'M HUMILIATED FOR WHAT I DID WEDGING THAT BUS IN THE ALLEY.
HERE'S WHERE THINGS STAND.
THE DRIVER'S SUPERVISOR UNDERSTANDS THIS CASE PROBABLY ISN'T GONNA CLEAR.
- MEANING HE KNOWS A COP'S INVOLVED.
- WHATEVER THE REASON, I DON'T THINK HE'S GONNA PUSH US TO GET A CLEARANCE.
OH, LIEU.
HEY.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW GRATEFUL I AM.
VINCE-- I HOPE THAT DON'T MEAN HIS DRIVER'S GONNA GET JAMMED UP.
VINCE, WILL YOU LET ME SPEAK MY PIECE? I'M SORRY.
I'M-I'M JUST SO RELIEVED.
YOU GOTTA RETIRE.
OH, BOY.
I KNOW YOU'RE JUST TWO MONTHS SHORT OF 30 YEARS.
OH, I MEAN, I RETIRE NOW, IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT PENSION PACKAGE.
YOUR HEART DISEASE.
IT'S A JOB-RELATED DISABILITY.
YOU'LL GET THREE-QUARTERS.
THE MONEY ISN'T TAXABLE.
ON THE NUMBERS, IT'S A BETTER DEAL.
I HATE ADMITTING I'M SICK.
BUT YOU ARE SICK, VINCE.
AND YOU'RE OUT OF CHOICES.
MAYBE THAT'S WHY YOU STOLE THAT BUS.
YOU WANT ME OFF THIS JOB? I DON'T, VINCE, NO.
BUT WE BOTH KNOW IT'S TIME.
I NEED YOUR PAPERS IN.
TODAY? YEAH.
I HATE FOR IT TO END, ESPECIALLY LIKE THIS.
I DID A DECENT JOB.
NOW PEOPLE ARE GONNA THINK I'M A BAD PERSON.
NO.
NO, THEY WON'T.
YOU WANT TO FEEL THAT PEOPLE TAKE CIRCUMSTANCES INTO ACCOUNT, BUT YOU'RE NEVER SURE THEY DO.
LIEU, WOULD YOU EXCUSE ME? I JUST NEED A MINUTE.
YEAH.
SURE.
[ Sobs .]
I WANT TO TELL YOU THIS: - I'M GETTING THOSE CHEST PAINS AGAIN.
- YEAH, HUH? TWELVE DAYS AGO I SNUCK IN NEW JERSEY FOR A STRESS TEST-- INJECTIONS IN MY VEINS-- AND I TESTED ABNORMAL.
-OH, MY GOD, MEDAVOY! - SO, IT WAS YOU, VINCE.
- YOU SCARED THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME! - STEALING QUARTERS FROM MY COFFEE CAN.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? I DON'T KNOW CAN WE LIVE ON OUR PENSION, IF THEY MAKE ME RETIRE? YOU NEED YOUR HEALTH ADDRESSED, AND YOU NEED SOME COUNSELING.
YOU'VE KNOWN SALVO SOME TIME? YEAH.
WE'VE HAD HIM UP FOR FIVE MONTHS.
HE'S A PRETTY CAREFUL GUY.
WE'D LIKE YOU TO RUN INTO HIM AGAIN.
SEE WHAT COMES OF THAT.
I GOT A PLATE NUMBER I'D LIKE YOU TO RUN FOR ME, BOBBY, WHICH I KNOW IS AN AWKWARD REQUEST.
I'M NOT GONNA ASK YOU WHY, BECAUSE I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE RUNNING PLATES FOR CIVILIANS NO MATTER WHAT.
I UNDERSTAND.
APPRECIATE THE HELP, BOBBY.
WHAT? FOR TELLING YOU A PLATE DON'T EXIST? HEY, BOBBY, I THINK WE BOTH KNOW "NO HIT" COULD ALSO MEAN COVERED LICENSE PLATE, RIGHT? CAR'S BEING USED IN AN INVESTIGATION? MORNING, JAMES.
WE'RE AROUND THE CORNER.
WHAT DO WE GOT? UH, HIJACKED BUS.
PERP'S IN THE WIND.
ANYBODY HURT? UH, NOBODY HURT, NOBODY ROBBED.
WELL, THAT'S GOOD ANYWAY.
ANY WORD ON THE, UH, ABBY SITUATION? YEAH, STILL WATCHFUL WAITIN'.
ALL'S I CAN TELL YOU, JAMES, IF SHE'S NOT PREGNANT, EXPLANATION'S ELSEWHERE.
I GAVE A GOOD SUPPLY OF SPERM.
WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED HERE? - THIS ONE TELLS IT BEST.
- THIS ONE? - MRS.
PROWS, THIS IS DETECTIVE MEDAVOY.
- HOW DO YOU DO? I THINK THIS MAY HAVE BEEN MY FAULT.
REALLY? THE DRIVER HAD TO GO TO THE LAVATORY FOR A MINUTE, AND AFTER HE GOT OFF THE BUS, I SAID TO THE MAN BESIDE ME THAT WHEN I'M LATE, MY CAT DOES HIS BUSINESS ON THE CARPET.
AND HE ASKED ME WHERE I LIVE AND I TOLD HIM, AND HE JUST WENT TO THE FRONT OF THE BUS AND GOT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND AWAY WE WENT.
UH, DID HE HAVE LIQUOR ON HIS BREATH, SEEMED LIKE HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ON DRUGS? WELL, HE DID HAVE LIQUOR ON HIS BREATH.
WHEN WE WERE SITTING NEXT TO EACH OTHER, HE WAS SINGING TO HIMSELF-- ITALIAN SERENADES.
BUT HE WAS VERY QUIET AND POLITE.
WHAT DID HE LOOK LIKE? HE WAS TALL AND LUMBERING, WITH WHITE HAIR AND LIKE HE COULD LOSE 30 POUNDS.
ALL RIGHT, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, MRS.
PROWS.
HE WAS DRIVING FINE UNTIL HE TRIED TO TAKE A SHORTCUT TO MY STREET.
ONE OF THE PASSENGERS SAID HE'D SEEN THE GUY THAT STOLE THE BUS - DRINKING A FEW DAYS AGO AT THE, UH, ALIBI LOUNGE.
-[ Medavoy .]
OH, YEAH? MOTHER OF GOD! LOOK WHAT HE DID TO MY BUS! SIR, PLEASE.
THE DRIVER.
SECTOR CAR PICKED HIM UP.
- WHAT'S YOU NAME, SIR? - JOHN O'NEIL.
WHAT IN THE HELL COULD HAVE BEEN IN HIS MIND? IT'S WEDGED IN PRETTY GOOD.
IF YOU COULD TRY TO COLLECT YOURSELF, JOHN, UH, THEN WE COULD TAKE YOUR STATEMENT, WHAT OCCURRED.
CAN'T EVEN TAKE A PISS IN THIS CITY.
I'M WITH YOU THERE.
MANY'S THE OCCASION THAT I'VE REGRETTED MY SMALL BLADDER CAPACITY.
UH, I GOTTA CALL MY DISPATCHER.
YEAH, FINE, GO AHEAD.
THEN WE'LL GET YOUR ACCOUNT.
BE FAIR TO YOURSELF, GREG.
THIS GUY GETS BACK TO YOU, YOU TELL HIM YOU DO HAVE A BIG SEMEN OUTPUT.
SO THE BUS DRIVER GAVE A DESCRIPTION? ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT.
DON'T COME IN.
GO BACK TO THAT BAR THE WITNESS TALKED ABOUT SEEING HIM AT.

SO I GET SAT DOWN? NOT IF THEY COME UP WITH SALVO'S MAN OFF YOUR FIRST INTERVIEW.
WELL, IF YOU CAN'T TRUST YOUR CAREER WITH THESE GUYS, WHO CAN YOU TRUST? BOBBY.
- ANYONE YOU TELL ABOUT THIS, YOU DIDN'T DO ANY FAVOR.

IF THEY MAKE HER FOR KNOWING, SHE'LL BE JAMMED JUST TO GET HER OUT OF THE WAY.
I'M TELLING RUSSELL OR I'M GONNA TELL THE TRUTH UP AND DOWN.
AND LET 'EM SUSPEND ME FOR IMPEDING THEIR INVESTIGATION.
- WELL, I WOULDN'T TELL ANYONE ELSE.

- A VIOLENT CRIME WAS COMMITTED ON YOUR NEIGHBOR.
- YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME.
I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU, HUH? BUT YOU DIDN'T SEE NOTHING.
I'VE SEEN POLICE COMING AND GOING, AND I'VE-- AND I'VE SEEN SONJA TAKEN OUT ON A GURNEY.
I THINK YOU'VE SEEN A LOT MORE THAN THAT.

LET'S GO.
COME ON, STEVEN.
LET'S GO.
- I'M COMING ON MY OWN VOLITION, AND I-I CAN LEAVE WHEN I WANT.
- SURE.
I-I KNOW I AM ENTITLED TO A COUNSEL.
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU NEED ONE? BECAUSE I-- I-I DON'T INTEND TO-- TO LET YOU BADGER ME INTO-- INTO DOING SOMETHING AGAINST MY BETTER INTERESTS.
WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE YOU COMMITTED A CRIME? HUH? IS THAT IT? WHAT DO YOU LIKE, STEVEN OR STEVE? THAT DEPENDS ON-- ON WHO I'M TALKING TO.
STEVE ALL RIGHT FROM ME? YEAH.
YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IF YOU PREFER.
STEVE, WE'LL BE ON A LOT BETTER FOOTING YOU LET ME ASK MY OWN QUESTIONS.
SURE, 'CAUSE YOU'RE THE TOUGH COP, RIGHT? DID YOU COMMIT A CRIME? NO.
STEVE, IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU'RE A WITNESS-- STEVE, YOU KNOW IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO COME FORWARD AS A CITIZEN, STEVIE BOY, STEVIE, HEY, HUH, STEVIE BOY? THAT'S AN INTERESTING THING YOU DO THERE, STEVE.

YEAH, BUT DON'T PUT-- DON'T-- DON'T PUT-- DON'T PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH 'CAUSE-- WE'RE NOT GONNA PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH, STEVE, AND WE'RE NOT GONNA PUT A FIST IN YOUR MOUTH AND KNOCK YOU ACROSS THE ROOM AND HAVE YOU SPITTIN' YOUR TEETH OUT LIKE CHICLETS.
WE'RE NOT GONNA DO THAT.
WHEN WE WERE IN OUR LOCKER ROOM JUST NOW, STEVE, MY PARTNER SAYS TO ME, UH, "I THINK THIS SUPER REALLY WANTS TO COOPERATE.
HE'S JUST A LITTLE AFRAID.
" IT'S NO CRIME IN BEING AFRAID, STEVE.
ESPECIALLY IF YOU'VE SEEN SOMETHING THAT SHAKES YOU UP INSIDE.
BUT NOW-NOW I HAVE TWO-- MY TWO NEW FRIENDS, RIGHT? SO, I DON'T-- I DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID NO MORE.
'CAUSE THE RAPIST, THE ONE AT LARGE, ONCE I TELL YOU WHO HE IS, NO-- NO CHANCE HE DON'T GO TO JAIL.
RIGHT? WIND UP BACK OUT ON THE STREETS LOOKING TO HURT ME.
RIGHT? I MEAN, THERE'S NO CHANCE, RIGHT, GOOD BUDDIES? GARY WILDER.

WHO KNOWS ABOUT IT? NOBODY, BOSS.
DID TELLI SHOW HIS SHIELD TO GET ON? DRIVER MADE NO MENTION OF THAT.
[ Medavoy .]
WE GOTTA BRING I.
A.
B.
IN? LET ME HAVE THE DRIVER'S NAME.
I'LL SEE WHERE IT STANDS WITH HIS SUPERVISOR.
HE'S TWO MONTHS SHORT OF 30 YEARS, BOSS.
I DON'T NEED YOU TELLING ME THAT, GREG.
EXCUSE ME.
POINT TAKEN.
IS HE SOBER ENOUGH TO GIVE A STATEMENT? WE'LL WALK HIM THROUGH THAT.
ALL RIGHT, TAKE IT, BUT DON'T FILE IT.
I HAVE A CLEAN RECORD.
WE PUT YOU THROUGH OUR COMPUTER, GARY, SO WE KNOW THAT'S TRUE.
PLUS, IF WE DIDN'T KNOW IT, THAT'S THE 17th TIME YOU TOLD US.
I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY SOMEONE KNOCKED OUT WITH A MIGRAINE CAN BE DRAGGED OUT OF HIS BED WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHY YOU WANT TO TALK TO HIM.
EVER HAPPEN WITH YOU, GARY, RIGHT OFF MEETING SOMEONE, YOU FEEL LIKE HE'S A LYING SACK OF CRAP? YOU SEE ANY RADIO CARS OUTSIDE YOUR BUILDING THIS MORNING? YOU MEAN POLICE CARS? POLICE CARS, RIGHT.
I HEARD SIRENS.
I WAS LYING IN MY BED WITH THE SHADES DRAWN.
- KNOCKED OUT BY YOUR MIGRAINE? -THERE WAS A ROBBERY ACROSS THE STREET.
LIKE I SAID, I-- I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.
OUR THOUGHT WAS MORE YOU DID IT.
- WELL, YOU'RE WRONG.
- IF YOU DID DO IT, GARY, WHICH YOUR PHOTO'S BEEN PICKED OUT BY SEVERAL DIFFERENT WITNESSES, -YOU'RE IN A BETTER WAY THAN YOU DESERVE.
- WOMAN'S GONNA RECOVER.
YOU PLEAD TO THE ROBBERY, PROBABLY DO THREE YEARS.
I HAD A MIGRAINE, SO I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
NOW I WANT A LAWYER.
DIDN'T HAVE A MIGRAINE, YOU'D HAVE DONE IT? HOPE THAT DIDN'T MAKE YOUR HEADACHE WORSE.
TWITCH SUPER'S IN 3? YEAH.
I'LL PUT A PHOTO ARRAY TOGETHER.
ONE THING I DON'T WANT, HE THROWS UP ON MY SHOES OFF HIS NERVOUSNESS.
- HEY.
- HI.
WHAT'S GOTELLI DOING IN? - UH, HE HIJACKED THAT BUS.
- WHAT? - YEAH.
- OH, MAN.
- THE RAT SQUAD'S GOT IT YET? - GREG SAYS FANCY'S TRYING TO HEAD THAT OFF.
MAYBE HIM AND VINCE GO FURTHER BACK.
WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING, BOBBY.
I.
A.
B.
WILL HANG YOU OUT.
IF THEY SEE IT'S US DOING SOMETHING, THEY'LL HANG YOU OUT TOO.
I GOTTA DO THIS PHOTO ARRAY.
I'M GONNA TAKE A PEE.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GRABBED MY WRIST THIS MORNING, IT HURT.
TRAINED DETECTIVE.
YOU DON'T HAVE HIS-HIS PICTURE, AND NOW-NOW YOU DO HAVE HIS PICTURE.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, HE'S IN THE BUILDING? I KNOW THIS COMES NATURAL TO YOU, STEVE, TRY TO RELAX.
HOW'S IT GOING? BEST DAY OF MY LIFE.
ALL RIGHT, TELL US IF YOU RECOGNIZE ANYONE, AND IF SO, FROM WHERE? - WILDER'S NOT IN THERE.
- IT'S JUST US CHICKENS IN HERE, STEVE, BUT DON'T SAY A NAME UNTIL YOU SEE A PICTURE YOU RECOGNIZE.
THAT'S GARY WILDER.
PAST BEING A TENANT IN ONE OF THE BUILDINGS THAT YOU'RE A SUPER AT, WHERE DO YOU RECOGNIZE THAT MAN FROM? RUNNING FROM THE APARTMENT WHERE SONJA HUDSON WAS ROBBED AND-AND RAPED AND BEATEN.
[ Sighs .]
ARE YOU GONNA ARREST HIM? WE'RE GONNA WORK ON THAT RIGHT NOW.
I'M NOT WALKING OUT OF THIS BUILDING UNLESS YOU PUT HIM UNDER ARREST! SO YOU COULD BECOME LIKE A STATION HOUSE MASCOT? OH, OH, YOU'RE ALREADY SHOWING YOU DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO ME.
- THAT'S NOT TRUE, STEVE.
-CAMERON, WHAT YOU JUST DID TOOK BALLS.
AND I RESPECT YOU FOR IT.
WE'LL TALK TO THE D.
A.
NOW.
COHEN'S RIDING.
I SAW HIM ABOUT 10 MINUTES AGO HEADING FOR THE THIRD FLOOR.
YEAH.
GOOD.
- WHAT'S THAT ABOUT? - YOU GOT A MINUTE FOR US, DETECTIVE? - YEAH, SURE.
- THE, UH, COFFEE ROOM'S TIED UP, BOBBY.
WELL, ALL THE INTERVIEW ROOMS ARE TIED UP THEN.
WELL, MAYBE YOU CAN TAKE IT DOWNSTAIRS? - SURE.
- OKAY.
YOU GOT A MINUTE, COHEN? BEING HOW NO ONE ELSE CHOOSES TO CONVERSE WITH ME.
WHAT'S GOING ON, DETECTIVE? I'M THE LAST PERSON TO ASK ABOUT THAT.
[ Clears Throat .]
WE GOT A WITNESS TO THE IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH PICKED THE GUY'S PHOTO OUT FOR A ROBBERY-SEXUAL ASSAULT.
CAN YOU GET THE SUSPECT TO STAND IN A LINEUP? LAWYERED UP.
VERY STRONG I.
D.
FROM THE WITNESS.
HE'S A SUPER.
THE PERP'S A TENANT AT ONE OF HIS OTHER BUILDINGS.
COULD THE WITNESS HAVE MADE THE I.
D.
OFF SOME KIND OF GRUDGE? NO.
NO.
THIS-- THIS GUY DIDN'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED AT ALL.
HE'S SCARED OUT OF HIS MIND THE PERP WILL MAKE BAIL AND CLEAN HIS CLOCK.
ALL RIGHT, WE'LL FILE ON THE GUY.
VICTIM'S ON LIFE SUPPORT, BUT THEY THINK SHE'S GOING OUT.
CAN YOU GET A HIGH BAIL SET OFF THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE CHARGE GOES TO MURDER? I WON'T BE AT ARRAIGNMENT, BUT, UH, I'LL ENTER A NOTE IN THE FILE.
WHAT'S THE COLLAR'S NAME? GARY WILDER.
I'M GONNA GO LOCK HIM UP.
ALL RIGHT.
UH, I'M WORRIED THIS MOPE WITNESS COULD GET HURT.
WOULD I PISS YOU OFF ASKING YOU TO, UH, PUT THE HIGH BAIL NOTE IN THE FILE AND CALL THE ARRAIGNING D.
A.
? IF EVERY FASCIST LOOKED OUT FOR VICTIMS AND WITNESSES AS WELL AS YOU DO, SIPOWICZ, BILL OF RIGHTS ISSUES WOULD BE A LOT MORE COMPLICATED.
HEY, THIS DAY'S GOING BAD ENOUGH.
IF I WERE YOU, I WOULDN'T BE MAKING ANY WISECRACKS.
[ Chuckles .]
FOR THE RECORD, DETECTIVE, HAVE YOU BEEN GIVEN YOUR RIGHTS AND TOLD THAT THIS INVESTIGATION CONCERNS YOUR USE OF DEPARTMENT FILES TO OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT A VEHICLE ON LOAN TO ANOTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY? YEAH.
COULD YOU MOVE CLOSER OR RAISE YOUR VOICE? YES, I UNDERSTAND.
SPECIFICALLY, YOU RAN A COVERED PLATE.
WHAT'S THE QUESTION? ARE YOU PREPARED TO DISCUSS THE CIRCUMSTANCES OR REASONS WHY YOU RAN THE PLATE? - NO.
- AND WHY IS THAT? I RAN THE PLATE.
I PUT IN MY ACCESS NUMBER.
I DIDN'T TRY TO HIDE WHAT I WAS DOING.
I'M ASKING WHAT YOUR INTENTION OR PURPOSE WAS IN DOING THAT.
FIND OUT WHO THE PLATE WAS ISSUED TO.
[ Clicks Off .]
[ Sighs .]
ARE YOU GONNA SIT HERE JERKING ME OFF? [ Scoffs .]
YOU KNOW, MARTENS, I HOPE EVERY DAY GOES BY I LEARN SOMETHING FROM SOMEONE.
YOU TOLD ME SOMETHING MAYBE 18 MONTHS AGO.
- DEFINITELY WAS MY LESSON FOR THAT DAY.
- WHICH WAS WHAT? "EVERYTHING'S A SITUATION.
" I THOUGHT WE HAD A RELATIONSHIP, GIVEN THE GIVENS.
I DON'T DISAGREE WITH YOU.
WHICH IS WHY I'M REMINDING YOU OF THE LESSON YOU TOLD ME.
HOW EVERYTHING'S A SITUATION.
MEANING YOU'RE IN A SITUATION RIGHT NOW YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN RUNNING THAT PLATE.
[ Sighs .]
THAT'S NOT GONNA BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR MY BOSSES, SIMONE.
I'LL HAVE TO GO AFTER YOU.
YOU DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO.
[ Sighs .]
LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS HOW'S IT'S GONNA BE.
I'LL BRING SOME BOOKS OVER.
- YOU WANT THE COVER CHARGE BACK? - YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I MEANT.
[ Phone Rings .]
YEAH.
YEAH, HOW'S IT GOING? UH, NO, I'M WORKING.
I CAN'T DO THAT, JOE.
JOE, HOW'D YOU GET MY PHONE? THAT RIGHT? I'M GETTIN' FORGETFUL.
YEAH, GOOD.
UH-HUH.
TAKE CARE.
- HOW'D SALVO GET YOUR PHONE? - I GAVE HIM THE NUMBER.
YOU DID? SHOWING ME HIS LONG REACH.
LET'S GO IN SEPARATE.
OKAY.
I'M GONNA HAVE TO BEEP THIS NERVOUS LITTLE TWERP, AND IF I'M LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND HIM, I'M GONNA BE STANDING IN THREE INCHES OF PISS.
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR HOW ANYTHING FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS, COHEN.
YOU DO WHAT YOU SAY OR YOU DON'T.
OH, YEAH.
YEAH.
BRING UP THE NOTE THAT YOU PUT IN HIS FILE.
THAT'LL HAVE A REAL HAPPY OUTCOME FOR THE BOTH OF US.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON.
ANDY, I TOLD YOU, I CAN'T-- YOU TOLD ME DICK.
NOW THESE GUYS ARE PULLING YOUR 61s.
THAT'S MY NAME ON THEM THINGS TOO.
COULD I TALK TO YOU A MINUTE? - GET A LAWYER.
- THINK HE NEEDS A LAWYER? OFF THE RECORD? SURE.
[ Sipowicz .]
KISS MY MALE ORGAN.
THIS WILL BE OFF THE RECORD.
YEAH.
ALL RIGHT.
IN CASE YOU WANTED TO KNOW, THAT RAPE-ASSAULT? WOMAN'S DEAD.
THE PERP MADE BAIL.
HOW DID THEY GIVE THIS GUY MAKEABLE BAIL? HOW YOU GONNA TALK WITH THIS JERK? HE'S LOOKING TO HANG YOU BY YOUR THUMBS.
STRANGE THINGS OCCUR.
- SORRY ABOUT ALL THAT.
- SURE.
DO YOU THINK WE EAT KIDS FOR BREAKFAST? I THINK HUMILIATING THE COP IS PART OF WHAT YOU GUYS DO TO TRY TO SOFTEN HIM UP.
SHOWS WHAT'S IN STORE FOR HIM IF HE DON'T START HELPING HIMSELF.
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED TO TELL ME OFF THE RECORD? THAT PLATE YOU RAN WAS COVERED 'CAUSE IT WAS PART OF AN F.
B.
I.
OPERATION.
- AND? - AND WHEN WE ASKED THE AGENCY ABOUT IT, - THEY CAN'T RELEASE THAT INFORMATION.
- I CAN'T RELEASE IT EITHER.
YOU CAN'T EITHER BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW OR BECAUSE YOU'RE IN A SITUATION YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT? IS THAT WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO TELL ME YESTERDAY? IF I WAS IN A SITUATION, I GUESS I'D BE JAMMING MYSELF UP ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION.
YEAH, BUT YOU'D LIKE TO IF YOU COULD, HMM? YOU'RE GETTING CAUGHT IN THE SWITCHES, AREN'T YOU, SIMONE? I'D LIKE NOT TO HAVE YOU PEOPLE GOING THROUGH MY 61s LIKE I WAS SOME KIND OF THIEF.
I'D LIKE NOT TO HAVE ANDY SIPOWICZ UP TO GET SCREWED JUST BECAUSE HE'S MY PARTNER.
MY OFFICE IS GONNA HANG YOU OUT.
THEY'LL FIND A MISTAKE IN YOUR 61s OR TRIP YOU UP ON SOME INTEGRITY TEST IN THE STREET.
BUT THAT'S NOT YOU.
I KNOW WHAT THE F.
B.
I.
IS DOING.
I KNOW THEY'RE LOOKING AT JOE SALVO.
NOW WHY DON'T THEY WANT MY OFFICE TO KNOW THAT? ASK THE F.
B.
I.
IT AIN'T EVEN IN YOUR MOUTH, HUH, SIMONE? HOOK'S RIGHT IN YOUR BELLY.
I'M GONNA WORK MY SHIFT.
DON'T ANSWER HIS BEEPER.
DON'T ANSWER ANY OF THE OTHER FOUR NUMBERS HE GAVE ME, TILL I THOUGHT HE WAS NEVER LEAVING THE STATION HOUSE.
BUT HIS BEEPER, THAT WAS 24 HOURS.
THAT HE SLEEPS WITH NEXT TO HIS EAR.
SO I GOT THAT NUMBER.
AND I-I ALWAYS GOT CONTACT WITH HIM.
AND NOW-- NOW HE DON'T ANSWER, AND THIS ASSHOLE'S ON THE STREET.
-GET THOSE FILES OFF THERE! - EASY, ANDY.
-THAT'S A WORKING DETECTIVE'S DESK, YOU ASSHOLE CHEESE-EATER! -TAKE IT EASY, ANDY.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT EASY, HUH? THERE'S RATS ALL OVER THIS OFFICE, THIS GUY'S IN TROUBLE, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! CONTROL YOUR MAN, LIEUTENANT.
DON'T TELL ME HOW TO RUN MY OFFICE.
- WHAT ARE LETTING HAPPEN HERE, HUH? -[ Fancy .]
THAT'S ENOUGH.
WE GOTTA GO LOOK FOR THIS SUPER, AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GONNA LIKE WHAT WE FIND.
- THIS IS THE RAPE-ASSAULT? - NOW IT'S A RAPE-HOMICIDE, AND MAYBE STILL COUNTING.
- WE'RE GOING OVER TO HIS BUILDING.
-WE'LL WANT TO BE ALERT.
DOES ANYONE ON THE RAT SQUAD FOLLOW US, CATCH US FOR RUNNING RED LIGHTS.
- ARE YOU LIEUTENANT FANCY? - YEAH.
WHAT DO YOU NEED? I'M LOU GARVEY, JOHN O'NEIL'S BOSS.
OH, YEAH.
WE CAN TALK IN HERE.
HOW WE DOING ON THAT BUS? WELL, UM, WE'VE GOT SOME PRELIMINARY PIECES PUT TOGETHER.
UM, RIDERS' STATEMENTS AND SO FORTH.
I THOUGHT YOU AND I SHOULD TALK BEFORE WE WENT MUCH FURTHER.
- APPRECIATE THAT CONSIDERATION.
- YEAH.
WE'VE SPOKEN WITH THE PASSENGERS.
EXCEPT FOR THE IDIOT THAT HIJACKED THE BUS.
YEAH, EXCEPT FOR THAT IDIOT, RIGHT.
HOW'S IT ADD UP FOR MY GUY? WELL, LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY, LOU.
I COULD PUT A LOT OF MANPOWER ON THIS CASE, POSSIBLY FIND A PERPETRATOR.
BUT WHOEVER IT IS PROSECUTES THAT CASE HAS TO INVOLVE THE FACTS COMING OUT THAT YOUR MAN MADE AN UNAUTHORIZED STOP.
FAILED TO SAFEGUARD HIS BUS.
NOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW IT LAYS OUT AT THE TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY, BUT ON MY JOB, OFFICER GETS HUNG, BOSS GETS STRUNG UP TOO.
- I HEAR YOU.
- OTHER THING THAT CONCERNS ME, THE MORE GETS MADE OF THIS, I THINK THE CITY'S LOOKING AT SOME KIND OF LAWSUIT FROM THOSE PASSENGERS.
OH.
I HEAR YOU THERE TOO.
AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, HAS THE PRESS GOTTEN AHOLD OF THIS? [ Chuckles .]
NO.
I GOT THAT BUS TOWED FAST.
I'M JUST THINKING IF LOW-KEY ISN'T A BETTER WAY TO GO.
HMM.
LIEUTENANT, UH, I'M NOT OPENING YOUR EYES NONE IF I TELL YOU THAT, UH, THERE'S SOME REAL BAD GUYS OUT ON OUR STREETS.
IT'S NOT A SHOCK TO ME, LOU, NO.
WITH THAT ELEMENT CIRCULATING AND, UH, THANK GOD, NO HARM WAS DONE WITH THIS BUS PRANK, YOUR PEOPLE GOT BETTER THINGS THAN TO GO AFTER IT LIKE A NUCLEAR ATTACK.
I THINK WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE, LOU.
TELL 'EM THEY DON'T NEED TO GET ANY HERNIAS TRACKING THIS THING DOWN.
WELL, OKAY.
IT'S GOOD TO MEET YOU, LOU.
ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS, I'LL KEEP YOU APPRISED.
ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS, KEEP 'EM TO YOURSELF.
[ Chuckles .]
- DID YOU JUST RING MY BUZZER? - YEAH, WE NEEDED TO GET IN.
DID YOU SEE THE SUPER? LAST I SAW HIM WAS ABOUT THREE HOURS AGO.
HE WAS TAKING GARBAGE TO THE BASEMENT.
HE'S NOT HERE.
WE OUGHT TO LOOK IN THE BASEMENT.
SHE SAID HE WENT DOWN THERE THREE HOURS AGO.
YEAH, I HEARD HER.
I'M GONNA GO SEE THIS ASSHOLE WILDER'S APARTMENT.
- WE'LL GO THERE, THEN WE'LL CHECK THE BASEMENT.

I'LL CHECK HIS PLACE.
I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP.

- THAT'S ABOUT ME? - MARTINEZ AND MEDAVOY ARE TALKING TO THEM? - IT WAS AN OFFICIAL REQUEST.

THEY'RE SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINE IF THEY DON'T.
- WHO'S CARRYING THE BAG OF SILVER? - CUT IT OUT, ANDY.
[ Medavoy .]
MEANING WHAT, ANDY? SPLIT IT 15 PIECES EACH? ANDY, I WAS IN THERE BECAUSE I'M SUSPENDED IF I DON'T, - AND JAMES WAS IN AS MY DELEGATE.
-AND GREG DIDN'T SAY DICK, WHICH I TOLD HIM NOT TO, IF YOU HAVE TO ASK, AND HE DIDN'T.
LOOK, THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT.
DON'T LET IT HAPPEN.

- WELL, I WANT TO USE ANDY'S WHEN HE'S DONE.
MIGHT BE A LITTLE DELAY.
- WHAT'S THAT ABOUT, BOB? - IT'S ABOUT HIM GETTING SCREWED AND THE JOB DON'T HELP HIM-- - DON'T DO THAT.
- THEY NEED HIM TO TAKE HIS SCREWING PRIVATELY, AND HE'S GONNA GO ALONG WITH IT.
YOU WANT TO PUT THIS GUY IN THE SYSTEM? MEANING YOU WANT ME OUT OF YOUR WAY? NICE WORKING WITH YOU.
ANYWAYS, I HOPE IT ALL WORKS OUT.
YEAH.
YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU SHOULD SPEND THE NIGHT WITH YOUR MOM.
TELL ME YOU DON'T WANT TO BE WITH ME.
DON'T TELL ME WHERE TO GO.
I DON'T WANT TO BE WITH YOU.
I GOT TO FIGURE THIS THING OUT.
HOW DO YOU FEEL, VINCE? TERRIBLE, LONG-TERM AND IMMEDIATELY.
I KNOW ABOUT YOUR HEALTH SITUATION.
IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN BY LONG-TERM? LONG-TERM CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE.
PLUS I'M HUNGOVER, AND I'M HUMILIATED FOR WHAT I DID WEDGING THAT BUS IN THE ALLEY.
HERE'S WHERE THINGS STAND.
THE DRIVER'S SUPERVISOR UNDERSTANDS THIS CASE PROBABLY ISN'T GONNA CLEAR.
- MEANING HE KNOWS A COP'S INVOLVED.
- WHATEVER THE REASON, I DON'T THINK HE'S GONNA PUSH US TO GET A CLEARANCE.
OH, LIEU.
HEY.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW GRATEFUL I AM.
VINCE-- I HOPE THAT DON'T MEAN HIS DRIVER'S GONNA GET JAMMED UP.
VINCE, WILL YOU LET ME SPEAK MY PIECE? I'M SORRY.
I'M-I'M JUST SO RELIEVED.
YOU GOTTA RETIRE.
OH, BOY.
I KNOW YOU'RE JUST TWO MONTHS SHORT OF 30 YEARS.
OH, I MEAN, I RETIRE NOW, IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT PENSION PACKAGE.
YOUR HEART DISEASE.
IT'S A JOB-RELATED DISABILITY.
YOU'LL GET THREE-QUARTERS.
THE MONEY ISN'T TAXABLE.
ON THE NUMBERS, IT'S A BETTER DEAL.
I HATE ADMITTING I'M SICK.
BUT YOU ARE SICK, VINCE.
AND YOU'RE OUT OF CHOICES.
MAYBE THAT'S WHY YOU STOLE THAT BUS.
YOU WANT ME OFF THIS JOB? I DON'T, VINCE, NO.
BUT WE BOTH KNOW IT'S TIME.
I NEED YOUR PAPERS IN.
TODAY? YEAH.
I HATE FOR IT TO END, ESPECIALLY LIKE THIS.
I DID A DECENT JOB.
NOW PEOPLE ARE GONNA THINK I'M A BAD PERSON.
NO.
NO, THEY WON'T.
YOU WANT TO FEEL THAT PEOPLE TAKE CIRCUMSTANCES INTO ACCOUNT, BUT YOU'RE NEVER SURE THEY DO.
LIEU, WOULD YOU EXCUSE ME? I JUST NEED A MINUTE.
YEAH.
SURE.
