Third Watch s06e07 Episode Script
Leap of Faith
Previously on Third Watch: Detective Monroe, I need to know what happened up on that roof.
Sergeant Cruz murdered Donald Mann.
You shot a handcuffed prisoner.
- I'm not going in on a lie.
- This is prison we're talking about.
What about Charlie and Emily? - They'll live with me.
- Excuse me? Tell me about Captain Finney.
We worked together on an anti-crime unit a long time ago.
Hey, Bosco.
About Donald Mann, I just want you to know that I took care of that for you.
Sergeant Cruz, you're under arrest for the murder of Donald Mann.
I've got a very tight docket, counselors.
Please keep the nonsense to a minimum.
Thank you.
We'll be hearing testimony from the Yokas children, Emily and Charles.
Assuming all parties are present Your Honor, my client called from her cell phone.
- She's on her way.
- How long, counselor? Well, I'd say I'm here.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Your Honor.
I just, I, um I'm sorry, Your Honor.
I'm sorry that I'm late.
I had a personal problem at home, but I'm here now.
- We're ready, Your Honor.
- I'm glad to hear it.
- Counselor? - Still ready, Your Honor.
How many nights a week, on average, is your mother at home by midnight? Um, I don't know.
I'm always asleep when she gets home.
So what time do you go to sleep? - It depends.
- On? Um, homework, if I have a test the next day.
So typically, you don't see your mother at night? No.
But your mother says her new job is going to change all of that.
- Yeah, right.
- You think she's lying? Okay, I'll tell you what.
This is difficult enough without your parents sitting ten feet away.
Counselor, I want to see you and the children in my chambers.
- You can't put me in there.
- Captain Finney's orders.
Detective Yokas.
We need you to come with us.
- Who are you? - Detective Barlow.
And Weller.
IAB.
- You guys, I'm a little busy right now.
- You know what it's about? Look, the judge'll be back any minute.
We're just waiting on a ruling You'll have to explain that to the judge.
Let's go.
I just need, like, 20 minutes - Please let go of my arm.
- What the hell is going on? Can we please go outside and discuss - No, there's nothing to discuss.
- I just want to see my kids.
- Don't make me cuff you.
- What, is she under arrest? I am not leaving this courtroom.
Will you please do something? Whatever's going on, I suggest you get outside quickly and quietly.
- What is going on? - You know me.
- You, you - Faith, what the hell?! Faith! Adaptation et Sous-titres : Benoun, Ny_stuf Episode 6x07 : Leap of Faith You ask me, they ought to give Cruz a medal.
What, having the courage to shoot a guy wearing handcuffs? You losing sleep over Donald Mann's constitutional rights? No, but it's hard enough getting the public to trust us without crap like this.
- Morning.
- Hey.
Cruz always was a hothead.
I knew she'd do herself in some day.
I don't understand why Yokas would cover for her in the first place.
They both had their story straight.
The investigation was closed; then what changed? Yeah, I wonder.
What? Rat Junior shows up here.
A month later, one of us is behind bars.
Nah, I'm sure that's just a coincidence.
I thought she did herself in.
You pick that up with your supersonic hearing or is my locker bugged? Nah, nobody needs either with your mouth.
Must wear you out keeping up with that intellect all day.
Where's Mom? Your Honor, I move for a continuance.
What? Something came up, work-related.
My client was called away.
- Called away? - I believe she's under arrest.
She was arrested? For what? They didn't mention any charges.
Emily.
- Counselor? - Emily.
Charlie.
- Your Honor, I humbly move for a continuance.
- I'll bet.
You couldn't have given me ten minutes to say good-bye to my kids? I don't ask questions.
Sit down.
I need to call my lawyer and tell her that I'm not going to be coming back.
Look, we're talking about murder, okay? We're talking 25 to life.
You better hope that having to postpone your little family court case is the biggest problem you have at the end of this day.
- You always do that.
- Do what? You cut the cake sideways, you eat all the icing, and you leave the dry part for the rest of us.
- You pay that much attention? - And this one eats all the raisins.
He's the coffee cake police.
So, Lieu, what do you know about that new guy? He needs to buy a vowel for his last name.
- Who is it? - Guy, Stu A bunch of Zs from Greenpoint.
- Szczelaszczyk.
I know him.
- You do? Well, I don't know him.
I know of him.
Interdepartmental basketball, he's their center.
- This is great.
- Not for me, I was going to play center.
- It's great because it means he's ugly.
- What are you talking about? Well excuse me but some of us are sick and tired of the parade of Joe Hunky Fire Dudes who show up just long enough to get the women all worked up then slither off into the sunset.
As opposedto someone who just bothers him and won't go away.
I think she meant, why do you think he is ugly - just because he plays basketball? - Oh, come on.
A Szczelaszczyk who's tall enough to play basketball? It's like a deal God made with the universe.
If a white guy can play ball, he's ugly.
What? Name one good-looking white guy in the NBA.
Jason Williams.
Keith Van Horn.
Okay, whatever, I'm telling you this guy's going to be a troll-- a tall troll.
I swear to God, the cabbie had a seizure.
If you don't believe me, you can call the dispatcher.
I swear, I'm always on time.
What, you want phone numbers? Not a problem.
Your locker's upstairs.
What? You think he's good-looking? Hey.
I know you.
I don't think so.
Yeah, you look familiar.
I'm not in the mood to make new friends.
Wherever I seen you I didn't like you.
Cruz.
Cruz! Come on, come on.
Speak up.
I think a few people in Guam didn't hear you.
- I need a next of kin.
- I don't have one.
- Cousin? Aunt? - I understand the concept.
I don't have one.
Suit yourself.
Cruz? Sergeant Cruz.
You sent my brother to Riker's.
Whoever he is, I'm sure he sent himself.
Danny Womack, two years ago.
- Never heard of him.
- You're a liar.
If it wasn't her brother it was somebody else's.
- Oh, that's brilliant.
- Are you calling me stupid? No, pissing off a cop who's going to be out of here by 5:00 is genius.
You're a genius.
Well, at least I know how to do some math, bitch.
There's a whole bunch of us and one of you.
Fine.
I'm scared.
I'm going to be over in the corner trembling.
Bitch.
Smith, Smith, you're up.
Let's go.
These doors are like steel, so if she's not conscious, we'll have to find the manager.
Let's worry about that when we have to.
She said she was losing consciousness.
I'm really sorry.
I made a mistake.
You don't need to be here.
Uh, I don't understand.
Did you call us? I did, but I'm fine now.
I'm fine, so just never mind.
Well, there's paperwork for "never mind," so you might as well just let us in.
Uh you said something about an accidental overdose Yes.
I'm so embarrassed for wasting your time, I mean.
Is this your busy season, or maybe closer to the holidays? My name's Holly.
What's your name? Kathy Langelier, but you don't really need it.
Oh, except you said you did.
L-A-N-G-E-L-I-E-R.
No, you really don't need to do all that.
Look, like you said, it's our busy season, so Uh, Kathy, what exactly is going on, hon? I don't know.
I feel so foolish.
I guess I wanted to, you know, see what it was like to do drugs, so I took a bunch of pills.
Then I instantly regretted it, but it was too late.
I called you guys because I didn't know how long I had, and I hate those stories where the neighbors call the police because they smell a bad odor, so if I died, I wanted to make sure someone found me right away.
Okay.
What kind of pills did you take? Uh, hello? - You got to be kidding me.
- I took ten.
- What are they? - Antacid tablets.
I don't keep any medicine in the house except those.
I've been taking one a day, you know, for my bones.
- Do you have a problem with your bones? - No, but, you know the commercials.
So, um let me get this straight.
You thought you were going to die from eating too many antacid tablets? That won't kill me? Maybe if you're eating them when you're walking out into traffic - Carlos.
- or something Um, actually, you shouldn't exceed the recommended dose of any medication unless you first consult your physician.
Even if I'm just taking them to get high? Especially then.
Yeah, you-you shouldn't abuse medicine - for any reason ever.
- I know.
It was so stupid, and I've learned my lesson.
I will never do it again.
I swear.
And I'm fine, so you can go now.
Works for me.
Not quite.
Wait a minute, Carlos.
What? - I think we should take her in.
- For what, eating too many antacids? - She's obviously suicidal.
- Oh, come on.
If she wanted to kill herself, all she had to do is go Would you keep your voice down? She doesn't need instructions.
I am not going to spend the rest of the day at Bellevue because some wack job tried to get high on Rolaids.
I'm not.
Cathy do you, uh do you know any of your neighbors? Uh, Mrs.
Wyndham next door.
Okay, I'm going to go and see if she's at home, and maybe she can sit with you for a while, and I'm going to give you a number that you can call if you feel depressed again or anything.
I shouldn't have called.
I'm fine.
Really.
How are you? - Detective Yokas.
- I want to make a phone call.
I would like to apologize They took my cellphone.
And I want a union lawyer, and I want one now.
- You can relax.
You don't need a lawyer.
- Are you kidding me?! Your sent that goon to drag me in here.
He gives me a speech about 25 years to life, and what do you think? I'm going to talk to you without a union lawyer? Again, I would like to apologize for the way that you were treated.
Listen to me.
I know my rights.
All right, we just have to have a little chat about why the physical evidence does not match your story about what happened that night.
I want my lawyer.
You don't need a lawyer to be a witness.
- A witness? We all know that Sergeant Cruz murdered Donald Mann.
I just need you to confirm this.
State v.
Maritza Cruz.
Manslaughter in the second degree on the complaint of Captain Cathal Finney, NYPD.
Counselor, state your names for the record.
Steven Ross for the state, Your Honor.
Albert Rivas of the NYPD Sergeant's Benevolent Association.
How does the defendant plead? - Not guilty.
- I can't hear you.
Speak up.
Not guilty.
A police sergeant charge with murdering a suspect in custody? The state agrees with Your Honor as to the seriousness of the charge and therefore requests that Ms.
Cruz be remanded without bail.
Your Honor, my client has been a member of the NYPD for ten years.
She hasn't missed a day of work except when injured in the line of duty.
She's not exactly a flight risk.
To the contrary, Your Honor, the defendant has a list of civilian complaints lodged against her the size of the Manhattan Yellow Pages, and she's been the subject of three Internal Affairs investigations.
Additionally, she has no living relatives or any otheb ties to the community.
If she has a brain cell, she already has a plane ticket in her pocket.
That's blatantly and demonstrably false, Your Honor.
That she has a brain cell or a plane ticket? Sergeant Cruz, do you or do you not have ties to the community? - Depends on your definition.
- Family? No.
What happened to your face? I tripped over my ties to the community.
Motion for bail is denied.
Trial is set for December 9 at 10:00 a.
m.
In the meantime, the defendant will be held at the Riker's Island Detention Center.
- You can't be serious.
- Next case.
Your Honor, permission to approach.
Next case as in the one after this one.
- That's a death sentence, and you know it.
- A dead sentence without a trial? Who would do something like that? I'm a big fan of due process.
Next case.
So, where is she now? - You ready to talk to me? - No, I'm not.
Now, I'm confused.
I thought that you were worried about getting back to your domestic problems? You have a judge ready to determine the disposition of your children.
Now, I would think you would be anxious to sign the statement and get back there.
I want to know where Cruz is.
As I understand it, she has a court date in about a month.
Meantime, she's vacationing on an island.
You know what they're going to do to her there.
She should've thought of that before she murdered Donald Mann.
Now, if you're not going to be my witness, I'm going to have to consider you an accomplice.
I'm sure they have room out there for you, too.
- How was I insensitive? - Oh, I don't know certainly not by calling her a "wack job.
" Oh, you think she was sane? I think I overestimated you.
It's my fault.
I do that.
I'm good at recognizing people's potential, but they have to make a decision to live up to it, and a lot of people don't.
Squad 5-5, strong odor of gas in an occupied building, 286 East Second.
Ten-four, Central.
That's her place.
- Who? - Her.
The woman we've been talking about.
- So? - This is Adam 55-3.
We just came from there.
- We're turning around.
- Oh, no, we're not.
- Yes, we are.
Turn around.
- We don't do gas leaks.
Carlos, the woman ate a bunch of pills, and now there's a gas leak in her building-- do you see? I see you're hell-bent on ruining this day.
This should make for some interesting reading, if you had the time.
- Cruze s jacket - So would Donald Mann's biography.
And what, he, uh, deserved to be murdered? Who else deserves to be murdered? Or is that up to Cruz? Or should we let, uh, other cops weigh in on it? What about an entire anti-crime unit? Did they deserve to be blown up? What happened to Officer Boscorelli? Did he deserve that? Therefore what? That gives Cruz permission to storm around and rage against anyone she thinks is crooked? - I know who Cruz is.
- Yes, you do.
You spent eight months in a wheelchair.
Did you deserve that? I'm gonna give you a hint if this woman's alive, don't wait for her to make any sense-- you'll be here all day.
Oh, you've been here? She ingested a bottle of antacids earlier today, convinced Carlos it was recreational.
You can get high off antacids? No.
That's the point.
Damn, we got a pretty strong odor.
Lots of "Zs.
" Get downstairs and shut off the gas.
- Guys, it's coming from down there.
- How do you know? Call it a hunch.
Kathy! Open the door! Kathy! Kathy! Fitzgerald, Gonzalez, Womack and Cruz, let's go.
Everybody say good-bye to Sergeant Cruz.
Dead bitch walking.
I am so sorry.
I'm fine.
I can be such an airhead.
I was going to boil some water for pasta, and then I got busy in the other room, and I forgot all about it.
The burner wasn't on-- only the gas.
I must've left it in that "light" position.
Keep the mask on.
Like I said, I can be an airhead, and, you know, I've had a rough day, but I'm fine.
Kathy, first, you "accidentally" swallow a bottle of antacids That wasn't an accident.
That was a bad decision.
Okay but then you accidentally turned the gas on, leave it on with all the windows closed.
A person might think you're trying to harm yourself.
I see what you mean, but really, I'm fine.
I don't believe you.
Oh, and I'm insensitive? Excuse me for a moment.
What? It's not insensitive to call the woman a liar to her face? It would be insensitive to pretend to believe her and come back an hour from now to pick up her corpse.
She had a perfectly logical explanation.
Logical? She turned the burner on "light" mode and then just walked away to lie on the couch? She didn't notice the ticking sound? Maybe she couldn't hear over the voices in her head.
Do you hear yourself? Would you risk a woman's life to get out of having to spend half a shift at Bellevue?? I'm not a social worker.
They got pay to deal with these wackos.
You know what-- I'm glad I'm seeing this side of our relationship.
Did it ever occur to you that I might not want to date you? You just decided that we were going to be a couple, and you didn't even ask me what I thought of the idea! - You shouldn't be allowed to have ideas! - Oh Where's the nutcase? Hey, Roberta, I can't really talk right now.
Beyond my control.
Did you explain to the judge? Yeah, I meant as best you could.
All right.
All right, I'll talk to you later.
The judge continue the case.
She's going to rule later, after I explain.
I don't want to lose my kids.
Well, if you really wanted to keep the kids, I wouldn't have been sitting here all day waiting for you to cooperate.
- You don't understand - I understand you're weighing your own children against protecting that piece of crap Cruz, which shows me exactly how you feel about your children.
All right that's enough.
I'm ready.
- For what? - To make a statement.
- No.
- No, what? Well, no Circuit City open-box-special, for starters.
- And I want a witness.
- I brought a witness.
No, I want a witness that doesn't file you under "boss" in his Rolodex.
In fact, I want two.
And I want a deal.
- You want a deal? - Full immunity.
- And you'll tell me everything? - Every detail.
- And you'll get immunity.
- Full immunity.
Whatever you say.
And I want it in writing.
And I want it signed by a Deputy DA.
Have you been to see him lately? Been to see who? - Bosco.
- No.
I don't know.
It's, uh, too depressing.
Plus, it's not like he knows you're there.
You don't know that.
Come on.
Is that a woman on that ledge? Oh, hell.
Great.
we got a jumper at 286 East Second.
What apartment is that? Hey.
I don't want to scare you.
I'm Officer Sullivan.
I don't want to talk.
Okay.
How about you just tell me your name, and we can leave it at that? It's Kathy.
But I don't want to talk.
Okay, Kathy.
You can call me Sully, just in case yo change your mind about talking.
Oh, man.
at 286 East Second to shut down all lanes.
All right, uh, we don't want to do anything to scare her, so, Finney, why don't you just? Hey! No, no, no, no.
What are you doing? Can I be honest with you about something? You're making me a nervous wreck out on that ledge.
Can we not talk back in your living room? You are in so much trouble.
You're trying to trick me.
No, no.
Mm-hmm.
If I was trying to trick you, then I would have said something else when I was trying to get you to come back into your apartment.
What the hell? All right, Kathy, don't get startled, but there's a moron coming to save you.
Why don't you slide over toward me? - Nice and easy.
- Don't move.
Don't move.
Finney, will you go away? I don't need you.
- Go back down there.
- No, ma'am.
That would ruin my whole hero routine.
Finney, get out of here! Hey, back up.
Back up.
Finney, go away.
I'm doing fine.
At least I got enough guts to be out here.
At least I got enough sense to be in here.
Hay, sure he didn mean it that, ma'am.
Come on just slide over this way Right over this way Kathy come on.
Slide over this way Kathy, just peach out and take my hand ??????????? No! NO ! Wow! No, great.
What's you planning now, genius? ??? shutting your mouth I got free hand.
Well you gonna tell she's just washing her window? I never said she was sane.
I just said crazy is not hour job, Kathy,try to get a hand around me.
Get out of her fire! We got it, Glad to see someone who's doing her job.
What's going Ma'am? Not so well, let me get you away from this? If you guys don't mind, I would rather be saved by him.
Okay.
Kathy, we're gonna need you to lay down on the gurney.
No, that's not necessary.
I'm fine.
You are definitely not fine.
You've caused us a lot of trouble today.
This interview is being conducted relative to the open homicide investigation of Donald Mann, case #107-04.
Present are Captain Cathal Finney, Sergeant English and Detective Barlow, all of IAB.
Detective Yokas has agreed to provide a statement in exchange for which she will be granted immunity Full immunity.
Full immunity from any charges relative to the afore mentioned homicide.
The bruises in the photos of Donald Mann's wrists were caused by handcuffs.
Sergeant Cruz had handcuffed Donald Mann before I arrived at the scene.
She had taken him into custody and was on her way out with him down to the car to bring him in to book him.
And that's when I shot him.
You mean that's when she shot him.
No, I shot him.
If you'll excuse us.
You think you're gonna play me? - You wanted to know what happened.
- I want the truth.
- I told you the truth.
- I want the truth.
You're a liar.
I want the truth, and I want it now.
No, you don't.
You want Cruz.
I am telling you the truth.
I shot Donald Mann.
I did it because I thought he killed Bosco.
I didn't care what happened to me.
Cruz was trying to protect me.
Enjoy your last shower, bitch.
You better be looking up.
'Cause ain't nobody in here that cares about your ass.
I read this book about people's near-death experiences.
Didn't turn out so well for the people who tried to kill themselves.
It's none of my business, but, uh, you might want to look into that or talk to a professional.
Besides, between you and me, you're really not very good at it.
Uh It can't be that bad.
Whatever it is, I'm sure something can solve it.
I'm just so tired.
Take a nap.
Look, you got to hang in there, and see how things are gonna turn out, because you could miss out on something great just because you gave up on it before you gave it a chance.
Hello! Sirens! Got to give things a chance.
What, no ticker tape? You've got to give him an "A" for effort.
How about "S" for "Stupid"? You make a lot of progress talking to her.
Finney, I've been doing this since you were a careless night waiting to happen.
So you show up every day.
Who cares? I've talked down more jumpers than you'll ever see, Finney.
And the last thing I needed up there was your stupid stunt.
Look, man, if I hadn't climbed up there, she would've jumped, and you would've been running your mouth for nothing, like you always do.
- All right, that's enough.
- Listen, Junior Hero, I know you think your ass is special because your old man's a honcho.
But your old man is a thug, a thief, and a murderer.
And nothing you ever do on this job is going to change that.
All right, everybody hold it up right there.
You see Big Rosie over there? She's my cousin.
She can't wait to meet you.
I'll kill you! Hey, break this up! Get back to your cells! Hey, take her to isolation right now! You two, get back to your cell! No, you don't know how strong I am.
You're bad.
- No, I'm going to get in there.
- bad, bad.
What are? I'm goin' tear you up.
So ( grunts ) how was your first day? Oh, you know.
Had its ups and downs.
That's funny.
So, um, I was just wondering if, uh, you know, I mean you know, are you, like, you, like, seeing anyone? Am I? Oh.
No.
Uh, I mean, yeah, I-I am.
Uh, sorry, you threw me there.
It's not a trick question.
Oh, uh, I know, but, uh, sometimes I can be dense.
Right.
You know, it's funny.
If someone had asked me to guess which one of you guys I thought was gay, you would've been my last choice.
I mean, it's never the obvious one.
Oh, no, I'm not I didn't mean Hey, man.
It's all good, dawg.
I'm cool with it.
Yeah, but um I'm not um You wanted to see me, sir? She murdered Donald Mann.
Not Cruz, but your good friend Yokas.
And if you didn't know that, then what the hell good are you to me? - How was I supposed to know that? - Your assignment was to find out what happened up on that roof, and you did not do that.
I told you that I needed more time.
You were the one who said all you needed was the knife.
I wanted you to slow down so that I coul keep working.
- Are you criticizing me? - No, I'm not criticizing you.
Yokas may have played me for immunity, but if she thinks that's going to get Cruz out of jail, she's got another thing coming.
Cruz covered up a murder.
Sir, with all due respect, think about what you're saying.
We're going to let the murderer-- who the department meritoriously promoted for her actions on the roof-- walk and prosecute the one who covered it up? If you think this department looks bad now, just wait until Cruz' attorneys gets a hold of this.
Get out.
Get out! I am sor I'm sorry, sir.
Hey, take it easy! Take it easy! Hey, you do not want to beat up a CO, especially one who came to tell you that you're out of here.
Let's go.
Night, Davis.
Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.
All right, so, what was that? - What was what? - What you said to Finney at the jumper.
That was just me running my big mouth.
Forget it.
I don't think so.
It's between me and him.
Well, he's my partner now, and you're all up in his face, So it's between me and you.
- All right, I'll back off then, okay? - Sully.
You're one of my best friends.
If it's going to stay that way, I need to know whatever it is you're not telling me.
Close that door.
I'm going to tell you this story one time.
I'm going to tell you the "See Spot run" version, and when I'm done telling you, we're done with it.
It was a long time ago.
There was a bunch of dirty cops who were taking payoff money from drug dealers.
About a dozen or so of them.
Some you never heard of your father and C.
T.
Finney.
When it became clear that the house of cards was going to cave in, the rest of the gan had a brainstorm-- they'd pin it on the black guy, 'cause well, 'cause that would be an easy thing to do.
Your father saw it coming, decided to head them off at the pass.
C.
T.
Finney got wind of it.
You know the rest.
What are you saying? What, Captain Finney killed my father? Your father was going to IAB the next day.
We got a bogus call your father ended up dead, a month later, C.
T.
Finney's in a nice corner office downtown.
You can draw your own conclusions.
Good night.
So I told him, I said, it was a waste of time and money, and you know how much good that did me, right? I put a potted amaryllis on Mikey's grave today.
You know, I thought it would look pretty for the holidays.
I had to get the plastic because the silk were $34.
99 on sale, if you can believe that.
Huh.
Plus, you don't want to get anything too Maurice? Maurice? Maurice? Maurice? Nurse! Nurse! Honey, hi.
It's Mama.
Hi, baby.
Hi, honey.
Hi.
Look at me.
It's Mama.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
( laughs ) Hey, Cruz.
I can't figure this.
Why the hell would you go through all that to protect me? I don't rat out cops.
Look, we're not friends.
I don't even like you.
You know what? I spent the entire day with a bunch of people telling me how much they don't like me, so you want to fight, let's go.
Let's go.
Let's just get it over with.
I told you that night I didn't want you to be involved.
I was already involved.
He was my prisoner.
- And I told you that I would face my punishment - This isn't about you! I don't rat on cops.
It makes no difference who they are or whether I like them or not.
I don't rat on cops.
I don't owe you anything, Cruz.
I didn't want you to do this.
Fair enough.
Sergeant Cruz murdered Donald Mann.
You shot a handcuffed prisoner.
- I'm not going in on a lie.
- This is prison we're talking about.
What about Charlie and Emily? - They'll live with me.
- Excuse me? Tell me about Captain Finney.
We worked together on an anti-crime unit a long time ago.
Hey, Bosco.
About Donald Mann, I just want you to know that I took care of that for you.
Sergeant Cruz, you're under arrest for the murder of Donald Mann.
I've got a very tight docket, counselors.
Please keep the nonsense to a minimum.
Thank you.
We'll be hearing testimony from the Yokas children, Emily and Charles.
Assuming all parties are present Your Honor, my client called from her cell phone.
- She's on her way.
- How long, counselor? Well, I'd say I'm here.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Your Honor.
I just, I, um I'm sorry, Your Honor.
I'm sorry that I'm late.
I had a personal problem at home, but I'm here now.
- We're ready, Your Honor.
- I'm glad to hear it.
- Counselor? - Still ready, Your Honor.
How many nights a week, on average, is your mother at home by midnight? Um, I don't know.
I'm always asleep when she gets home.
So what time do you go to sleep? - It depends.
- On? Um, homework, if I have a test the next day.
So typically, you don't see your mother at night? No.
But your mother says her new job is going to change all of that.
- Yeah, right.
- You think she's lying? Okay, I'll tell you what.
This is difficult enough without your parents sitting ten feet away.
Counselor, I want to see you and the children in my chambers.
- You can't put me in there.
- Captain Finney's orders.
Detective Yokas.
We need you to come with us.
- Who are you? - Detective Barlow.
And Weller.
IAB.
- You guys, I'm a little busy right now.
- You know what it's about? Look, the judge'll be back any minute.
We're just waiting on a ruling You'll have to explain that to the judge.
Let's go.
I just need, like, 20 minutes - Please let go of my arm.
- What the hell is going on? Can we please go outside and discuss - No, there's nothing to discuss.
- I just want to see my kids.
- Don't make me cuff you.
- What, is she under arrest? I am not leaving this courtroom.
Will you please do something? Whatever's going on, I suggest you get outside quickly and quietly.
- What is going on? - You know me.
- You, you - Faith, what the hell?! Faith! Adaptation et Sous-titres : Benoun, Ny_stuf Episode 6x07 : Leap of Faith You ask me, they ought to give Cruz a medal.
What, having the courage to shoot a guy wearing handcuffs? You losing sleep over Donald Mann's constitutional rights? No, but it's hard enough getting the public to trust us without crap like this.
- Morning.
- Hey.
Cruz always was a hothead.
I knew she'd do herself in some day.
I don't understand why Yokas would cover for her in the first place.
They both had their story straight.
The investigation was closed; then what changed? Yeah, I wonder.
What? Rat Junior shows up here.
A month later, one of us is behind bars.
Nah, I'm sure that's just a coincidence.
I thought she did herself in.
You pick that up with your supersonic hearing or is my locker bugged? Nah, nobody needs either with your mouth.
Must wear you out keeping up with that intellect all day.
Where's Mom? Your Honor, I move for a continuance.
What? Something came up, work-related.
My client was called away.
- Called away? - I believe she's under arrest.
She was arrested? For what? They didn't mention any charges.
Emily.
- Counselor? - Emily.
Charlie.
- Your Honor, I humbly move for a continuance.
- I'll bet.
You couldn't have given me ten minutes to say good-bye to my kids? I don't ask questions.
Sit down.
I need to call my lawyer and tell her that I'm not going to be coming back.
Look, we're talking about murder, okay? We're talking 25 to life.
You better hope that having to postpone your little family court case is the biggest problem you have at the end of this day.
- You always do that.
- Do what? You cut the cake sideways, you eat all the icing, and you leave the dry part for the rest of us.
- You pay that much attention? - And this one eats all the raisins.
He's the coffee cake police.
So, Lieu, what do you know about that new guy? He needs to buy a vowel for his last name.
- Who is it? - Guy, Stu A bunch of Zs from Greenpoint.
- Szczelaszczyk.
I know him.
- You do? Well, I don't know him.
I know of him.
Interdepartmental basketball, he's their center.
- This is great.
- Not for me, I was going to play center.
- It's great because it means he's ugly.
- What are you talking about? Well excuse me but some of us are sick and tired of the parade of Joe Hunky Fire Dudes who show up just long enough to get the women all worked up then slither off into the sunset.
As opposedto someone who just bothers him and won't go away.
I think she meant, why do you think he is ugly - just because he plays basketball? - Oh, come on.
A Szczelaszczyk who's tall enough to play basketball? It's like a deal God made with the universe.
If a white guy can play ball, he's ugly.
What? Name one good-looking white guy in the NBA.
Jason Williams.
Keith Van Horn.
Okay, whatever, I'm telling you this guy's going to be a troll-- a tall troll.
I swear to God, the cabbie had a seizure.
If you don't believe me, you can call the dispatcher.
I swear, I'm always on time.
What, you want phone numbers? Not a problem.
Your locker's upstairs.
What? You think he's good-looking? Hey.
I know you.
I don't think so.
Yeah, you look familiar.
I'm not in the mood to make new friends.
Wherever I seen you I didn't like you.
Cruz.
Cruz! Come on, come on.
Speak up.
I think a few people in Guam didn't hear you.
- I need a next of kin.
- I don't have one.
- Cousin? Aunt? - I understand the concept.
I don't have one.
Suit yourself.
Cruz? Sergeant Cruz.
You sent my brother to Riker's.
Whoever he is, I'm sure he sent himself.
Danny Womack, two years ago.
- Never heard of him.
- You're a liar.
If it wasn't her brother it was somebody else's.
- Oh, that's brilliant.
- Are you calling me stupid? No, pissing off a cop who's going to be out of here by 5:00 is genius.
You're a genius.
Well, at least I know how to do some math, bitch.
There's a whole bunch of us and one of you.
Fine.
I'm scared.
I'm going to be over in the corner trembling.
Bitch.
Smith, Smith, you're up.
Let's go.
These doors are like steel, so if she's not conscious, we'll have to find the manager.
Let's worry about that when we have to.
She said she was losing consciousness.
I'm really sorry.
I made a mistake.
You don't need to be here.
Uh, I don't understand.
Did you call us? I did, but I'm fine now.
I'm fine, so just never mind.
Well, there's paperwork for "never mind," so you might as well just let us in.
Uh you said something about an accidental overdose Yes.
I'm so embarrassed for wasting your time, I mean.
Is this your busy season, or maybe closer to the holidays? My name's Holly.
What's your name? Kathy Langelier, but you don't really need it.
Oh, except you said you did.
L-A-N-G-E-L-I-E-R.
No, you really don't need to do all that.
Look, like you said, it's our busy season, so Uh, Kathy, what exactly is going on, hon? I don't know.
I feel so foolish.
I guess I wanted to, you know, see what it was like to do drugs, so I took a bunch of pills.
Then I instantly regretted it, but it was too late.
I called you guys because I didn't know how long I had, and I hate those stories where the neighbors call the police because they smell a bad odor, so if I died, I wanted to make sure someone found me right away.
Okay.
What kind of pills did you take? Uh, hello? - You got to be kidding me.
- I took ten.
- What are they? - Antacid tablets.
I don't keep any medicine in the house except those.
I've been taking one a day, you know, for my bones.
- Do you have a problem with your bones? - No, but, you know the commercials.
So, um let me get this straight.
You thought you were going to die from eating too many antacid tablets? That won't kill me? Maybe if you're eating them when you're walking out into traffic - Carlos.
- or something Um, actually, you shouldn't exceed the recommended dose of any medication unless you first consult your physician.
Even if I'm just taking them to get high? Especially then.
Yeah, you-you shouldn't abuse medicine - for any reason ever.
- I know.
It was so stupid, and I've learned my lesson.
I will never do it again.
I swear.
And I'm fine, so you can go now.
Works for me.
Not quite.
Wait a minute, Carlos.
What? - I think we should take her in.
- For what, eating too many antacids? - She's obviously suicidal.
- Oh, come on.
If she wanted to kill herself, all she had to do is go Would you keep your voice down? She doesn't need instructions.
I am not going to spend the rest of the day at Bellevue because some wack job tried to get high on Rolaids.
I'm not.
Cathy do you, uh do you know any of your neighbors? Uh, Mrs.
Wyndham next door.
Okay, I'm going to go and see if she's at home, and maybe she can sit with you for a while, and I'm going to give you a number that you can call if you feel depressed again or anything.
I shouldn't have called.
I'm fine.
Really.
How are you? - Detective Yokas.
- I want to make a phone call.
I would like to apologize They took my cellphone.
And I want a union lawyer, and I want one now.
- You can relax.
You don't need a lawyer.
- Are you kidding me?! Your sent that goon to drag me in here.
He gives me a speech about 25 years to life, and what do you think? I'm going to talk to you without a union lawyer? Again, I would like to apologize for the way that you were treated.
Listen to me.
I know my rights.
All right, we just have to have a little chat about why the physical evidence does not match your story about what happened that night.
I want my lawyer.
You don't need a lawyer to be a witness.
- A witness? We all know that Sergeant Cruz murdered Donald Mann.
I just need you to confirm this.
State v.
Maritza Cruz.
Manslaughter in the second degree on the complaint of Captain Cathal Finney, NYPD.
Counselor, state your names for the record.
Steven Ross for the state, Your Honor.
Albert Rivas of the NYPD Sergeant's Benevolent Association.
How does the defendant plead? - Not guilty.
- I can't hear you.
Speak up.
Not guilty.
A police sergeant charge with murdering a suspect in custody? The state agrees with Your Honor as to the seriousness of the charge and therefore requests that Ms.
Cruz be remanded without bail.
Your Honor, my client has been a member of the NYPD for ten years.
She hasn't missed a day of work except when injured in the line of duty.
She's not exactly a flight risk.
To the contrary, Your Honor, the defendant has a list of civilian complaints lodged against her the size of the Manhattan Yellow Pages, and she's been the subject of three Internal Affairs investigations.
Additionally, she has no living relatives or any otheb ties to the community.
If she has a brain cell, she already has a plane ticket in her pocket.
That's blatantly and demonstrably false, Your Honor.
That she has a brain cell or a plane ticket? Sergeant Cruz, do you or do you not have ties to the community? - Depends on your definition.
- Family? No.
What happened to your face? I tripped over my ties to the community.
Motion for bail is denied.
Trial is set for December 9 at 10:00 a.
m.
In the meantime, the defendant will be held at the Riker's Island Detention Center.
- You can't be serious.
- Next case.
Your Honor, permission to approach.
Next case as in the one after this one.
- That's a death sentence, and you know it.
- A dead sentence without a trial? Who would do something like that? I'm a big fan of due process.
Next case.
So, where is she now? - You ready to talk to me? - No, I'm not.
Now, I'm confused.
I thought that you were worried about getting back to your domestic problems? You have a judge ready to determine the disposition of your children.
Now, I would think you would be anxious to sign the statement and get back there.
I want to know where Cruz is.
As I understand it, she has a court date in about a month.
Meantime, she's vacationing on an island.
You know what they're going to do to her there.
She should've thought of that before she murdered Donald Mann.
Now, if you're not going to be my witness, I'm going to have to consider you an accomplice.
I'm sure they have room out there for you, too.
- How was I insensitive? - Oh, I don't know certainly not by calling her a "wack job.
" Oh, you think she was sane? I think I overestimated you.
It's my fault.
I do that.
I'm good at recognizing people's potential, but they have to make a decision to live up to it, and a lot of people don't.
Squad 5-5, strong odor of gas in an occupied building, 286 East Second.
Ten-four, Central.
That's her place.
- Who? - Her.
The woman we've been talking about.
- So? - This is Adam 55-3.
We just came from there.
- We're turning around.
- Oh, no, we're not.
- Yes, we are.
Turn around.
- We don't do gas leaks.
Carlos, the woman ate a bunch of pills, and now there's a gas leak in her building-- do you see? I see you're hell-bent on ruining this day.
This should make for some interesting reading, if you had the time.
- Cruze s jacket - So would Donald Mann's biography.
And what, he, uh, deserved to be murdered? Who else deserves to be murdered? Or is that up to Cruz? Or should we let, uh, other cops weigh in on it? What about an entire anti-crime unit? Did they deserve to be blown up? What happened to Officer Boscorelli? Did he deserve that? Therefore what? That gives Cruz permission to storm around and rage against anyone she thinks is crooked? - I know who Cruz is.
- Yes, you do.
You spent eight months in a wheelchair.
Did you deserve that? I'm gonna give you a hint if this woman's alive, don't wait for her to make any sense-- you'll be here all day.
Oh, you've been here? She ingested a bottle of antacids earlier today, convinced Carlos it was recreational.
You can get high off antacids? No.
That's the point.
Damn, we got a pretty strong odor.
Lots of "Zs.
" Get downstairs and shut off the gas.
- Guys, it's coming from down there.
- How do you know? Call it a hunch.
Kathy! Open the door! Kathy! Kathy! Fitzgerald, Gonzalez, Womack and Cruz, let's go.
Everybody say good-bye to Sergeant Cruz.
Dead bitch walking.
I am so sorry.
I'm fine.
I can be such an airhead.
I was going to boil some water for pasta, and then I got busy in the other room, and I forgot all about it.
The burner wasn't on-- only the gas.
I must've left it in that "light" position.
Keep the mask on.
Like I said, I can be an airhead, and, you know, I've had a rough day, but I'm fine.
Kathy, first, you "accidentally" swallow a bottle of antacids That wasn't an accident.
That was a bad decision.
Okay but then you accidentally turned the gas on, leave it on with all the windows closed.
A person might think you're trying to harm yourself.
I see what you mean, but really, I'm fine.
I don't believe you.
Oh, and I'm insensitive? Excuse me for a moment.
What? It's not insensitive to call the woman a liar to her face? It would be insensitive to pretend to believe her and come back an hour from now to pick up her corpse.
She had a perfectly logical explanation.
Logical? She turned the burner on "light" mode and then just walked away to lie on the couch? She didn't notice the ticking sound? Maybe she couldn't hear over the voices in her head.
Do you hear yourself? Would you risk a woman's life to get out of having to spend half a shift at Bellevue?? I'm not a social worker.
They got pay to deal with these wackos.
You know what-- I'm glad I'm seeing this side of our relationship.
Did it ever occur to you that I might not want to date you? You just decided that we were going to be a couple, and you didn't even ask me what I thought of the idea! - You shouldn't be allowed to have ideas! - Oh Where's the nutcase? Hey, Roberta, I can't really talk right now.
Beyond my control.
Did you explain to the judge? Yeah, I meant as best you could.
All right.
All right, I'll talk to you later.
The judge continue the case.
She's going to rule later, after I explain.
I don't want to lose my kids.
Well, if you really wanted to keep the kids, I wouldn't have been sitting here all day waiting for you to cooperate.
- You don't understand - I understand you're weighing your own children against protecting that piece of crap Cruz, which shows me exactly how you feel about your children.
All right that's enough.
I'm ready.
- For what? - To make a statement.
- No.
- No, what? Well, no Circuit City open-box-special, for starters.
- And I want a witness.
- I brought a witness.
No, I want a witness that doesn't file you under "boss" in his Rolodex.
In fact, I want two.
And I want a deal.
- You want a deal? - Full immunity.
- And you'll tell me everything? - Every detail.
- And you'll get immunity.
- Full immunity.
Whatever you say.
And I want it in writing.
And I want it signed by a Deputy DA.
Have you been to see him lately? Been to see who? - Bosco.
- No.
I don't know.
It's, uh, too depressing.
Plus, it's not like he knows you're there.
You don't know that.
Come on.
Is that a woman on that ledge? Oh, hell.
Great.
we got a jumper at 286 East Second.
What apartment is that? Hey.
I don't want to scare you.
I'm Officer Sullivan.
I don't want to talk.
Okay.
How about you just tell me your name, and we can leave it at that? It's Kathy.
But I don't want to talk.
Okay, Kathy.
You can call me Sully, just in case yo change your mind about talking.
Oh, man.
at 286 East Second to shut down all lanes.
All right, uh, we don't want to do anything to scare her, so, Finney, why don't you just? Hey! No, no, no, no.
What are you doing? Can I be honest with you about something? You're making me a nervous wreck out on that ledge.
Can we not talk back in your living room? You are in so much trouble.
You're trying to trick me.
No, no.
Mm-hmm.
If I was trying to trick you, then I would have said something else when I was trying to get you to come back into your apartment.
What the hell? All right, Kathy, don't get startled, but there's a moron coming to save you.
Why don't you slide over toward me? - Nice and easy.
- Don't move.
Don't move.
Finney, will you go away? I don't need you.
- Go back down there.
- No, ma'am.
That would ruin my whole hero routine.
Finney, get out of here! Hey, back up.
Back up.
Finney, go away.
I'm doing fine.
At least I got enough guts to be out here.
At least I got enough sense to be in here.
Hay, sure he didn mean it that, ma'am.
Come on just slide over this way Right over this way Kathy come on.
Slide over this way Kathy, just peach out and take my hand ??????????? No! NO ! Wow! No, great.
What's you planning now, genius? ??? shutting your mouth I got free hand.
Well you gonna tell she's just washing her window? I never said she was sane.
I just said crazy is not hour job, Kathy,try to get a hand around me.
Get out of her fire! We got it, Glad to see someone who's doing her job.
What's going Ma'am? Not so well, let me get you away from this? If you guys don't mind, I would rather be saved by him.
Okay.
Kathy, we're gonna need you to lay down on the gurney.
No, that's not necessary.
I'm fine.
You are definitely not fine.
You've caused us a lot of trouble today.
This interview is being conducted relative to the open homicide investigation of Donald Mann, case #107-04.
Present are Captain Cathal Finney, Sergeant English and Detective Barlow, all of IAB.
Detective Yokas has agreed to provide a statement in exchange for which she will be granted immunity Full immunity.
Full immunity from any charges relative to the afore mentioned homicide.
The bruises in the photos of Donald Mann's wrists were caused by handcuffs.
Sergeant Cruz had handcuffed Donald Mann before I arrived at the scene.
She had taken him into custody and was on her way out with him down to the car to bring him in to book him.
And that's when I shot him.
You mean that's when she shot him.
No, I shot him.
If you'll excuse us.
You think you're gonna play me? - You wanted to know what happened.
- I want the truth.
- I told you the truth.
- I want the truth.
You're a liar.
I want the truth, and I want it now.
No, you don't.
You want Cruz.
I am telling you the truth.
I shot Donald Mann.
I did it because I thought he killed Bosco.
I didn't care what happened to me.
Cruz was trying to protect me.
Enjoy your last shower, bitch.
You better be looking up.
'Cause ain't nobody in here that cares about your ass.
I read this book about people's near-death experiences.
Didn't turn out so well for the people who tried to kill themselves.
It's none of my business, but, uh, you might want to look into that or talk to a professional.
Besides, between you and me, you're really not very good at it.
Uh It can't be that bad.
Whatever it is, I'm sure something can solve it.
I'm just so tired.
Take a nap.
Look, you got to hang in there, and see how things are gonna turn out, because you could miss out on something great just because you gave up on it before you gave it a chance.
Hello! Sirens! Got to give things a chance.
What, no ticker tape? You've got to give him an "A" for effort.
How about "S" for "Stupid"? You make a lot of progress talking to her.
Finney, I've been doing this since you were a careless night waiting to happen.
So you show up every day.
Who cares? I've talked down more jumpers than you'll ever see, Finney.
And the last thing I needed up there was your stupid stunt.
Look, man, if I hadn't climbed up there, she would've jumped, and you would've been running your mouth for nothing, like you always do.
- All right, that's enough.
- Listen, Junior Hero, I know you think your ass is special because your old man's a honcho.
But your old man is a thug, a thief, and a murderer.
And nothing you ever do on this job is going to change that.
All right, everybody hold it up right there.
You see Big Rosie over there? She's my cousin.
She can't wait to meet you.
I'll kill you! Hey, break this up! Get back to your cells! Hey, take her to isolation right now! You two, get back to your cell! No, you don't know how strong I am.
You're bad.
- No, I'm going to get in there.
- bad, bad.
What are? I'm goin' tear you up.
So ( grunts ) how was your first day? Oh, you know.
Had its ups and downs.
That's funny.
So, um, I was just wondering if, uh, you know, I mean you know, are you, like, you, like, seeing anyone? Am I? Oh.
No.
Uh, I mean, yeah, I-I am.
Uh, sorry, you threw me there.
It's not a trick question.
Oh, uh, I know, but, uh, sometimes I can be dense.
Right.
You know, it's funny.
If someone had asked me to guess which one of you guys I thought was gay, you would've been my last choice.
I mean, it's never the obvious one.
Oh, no, I'm not I didn't mean Hey, man.
It's all good, dawg.
I'm cool with it.
Yeah, but um I'm not um You wanted to see me, sir? She murdered Donald Mann.
Not Cruz, but your good friend Yokas.
And if you didn't know that, then what the hell good are you to me? - How was I supposed to know that? - Your assignment was to find out what happened up on that roof, and you did not do that.
I told you that I needed more time.
You were the one who said all you needed was the knife.
I wanted you to slow down so that I coul keep working.
- Are you criticizing me? - No, I'm not criticizing you.
Yokas may have played me for immunity, but if she thinks that's going to get Cruz out of jail, she's got another thing coming.
Cruz covered up a murder.
Sir, with all due respect, think about what you're saying.
We're going to let the murderer-- who the department meritoriously promoted for her actions on the roof-- walk and prosecute the one who covered it up? If you think this department looks bad now, just wait until Cruz' attorneys gets a hold of this.
Get out.
Get out! I am sor I'm sorry, sir.
Hey, take it easy! Take it easy! Hey, you do not want to beat up a CO, especially one who came to tell you that you're out of here.
Let's go.
Night, Davis.
Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.
All right, so, what was that? - What was what? - What you said to Finney at the jumper.
That was just me running my big mouth.
Forget it.
I don't think so.
It's between me and him.
Well, he's my partner now, and you're all up in his face, So it's between me and you.
- All right, I'll back off then, okay? - Sully.
You're one of my best friends.
If it's going to stay that way, I need to know whatever it is you're not telling me.
Close that door.
I'm going to tell you this story one time.
I'm going to tell you the "See Spot run" version, and when I'm done telling you, we're done with it.
It was a long time ago.
There was a bunch of dirty cops who were taking payoff money from drug dealers.
About a dozen or so of them.
Some you never heard of your father and C.
T.
Finney.
When it became clear that the house of cards was going to cave in, the rest of the gan had a brainstorm-- they'd pin it on the black guy, 'cause well, 'cause that would be an easy thing to do.
Your father saw it coming, decided to head them off at the pass.
C.
T.
Finney got wind of it.
You know the rest.
What are you saying? What, Captain Finney killed my father? Your father was going to IAB the next day.
We got a bogus call your father ended up dead, a month later, C.
T.
Finney's in a nice corner office downtown.
You can draw your own conclusions.
Good night.
So I told him, I said, it was a waste of time and money, and you know how much good that did me, right? I put a potted amaryllis on Mikey's grave today.
You know, I thought it would look pretty for the holidays.
I had to get the plastic because the silk were $34.
99 on sale, if you can believe that.
Huh.
Plus, you don't want to get anything too Maurice? Maurice? Maurice? Maurice? Nurse! Nurse! Honey, hi.
It's Mama.
Hi, baby.
Hi, honey.
Hi.
Look at me.
It's Mama.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
( laughs ) Hey, Cruz.
I can't figure this.
Why the hell would you go through all that to protect me? I don't rat out cops.
Look, we're not friends.
I don't even like you.
You know what? I spent the entire day with a bunch of people telling me how much they don't like me, so you want to fight, let's go.
Let's go.
Let's just get it over with.
I told you that night I didn't want you to be involved.
I was already involved.
