The Heart of a Saturday Night

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
DANNY: Now that I have
advised you of your rights,
are you willing to answer questions?
Yeah, no.
Do you understand your rights
as I have read them to you?
- Yeah, no.
- Yes or no?
MAN: I said I'm a detective.
- Oh, there he is.
- Hey. Hey!
Do you know what this guy's called?
- Yeah, Paulie Sabino.
- No. Animal.
I'm Detective Vanderlip.
I collared him not even two
weeks ago on a rape charge.
How the hell is he out?
Well, I'm Detective Reagan
and I have no idea.
And you need to get your ass outside.
Now!
All right, all right.
- It's all right.
- Coming through.
Little young for you, ain't she?
You know how it is when they beg.
- Hey!
- (LAUGHING)
Back up!
Back up!
(GRUNTS)
You happy now?
I'm really sorry, Detective. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
It's our collar,
it's our responsibility.
We got this. Goodbye.
All right, all right,
I hear you, I hear you.
I'm sorry.
This is so wrong.
Get him out of here.
Your 11:00 is on his way up.
Friend or foe?
A digital copy of your daily
agenda is emailed to you
at 0530 each morning and a hard copy
is left on your desk.
Oh. Sorry.
He made an appointment?
Yes. For 11:00 am.
It is now 11:00 am.
Boy, someone ate
their Wheaties this morning.
May I invite him up?
Yes.
You know,
you could just drop by, you don't
need to make an appointment.
It was official business.
I was just showing respect.
So, what do you got?
It's all in there.
Well, can you give me
the coming attractions?
NYPD Sergeant Ryan O'Rourke,
survived by his wife Ellen,
and sons Joseph and Luke.
And we're talking about him because?
The last Police Combat Cross
I bestowed as Commissioner
I hung on him, as a rookie.
Well, I'm sorry about your loss, Pop.
The family has applied for benefits
from the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund.
He worked Ground Zero.
- Yeah.
- Well,
then the family's doing the right thing.
But not everyone does, though.
The fund has been jammed up some
with false claims.
And there's also lawyers
who chase the payouts,
if can you imagine.
So, I-I just want you to push it along.
- That's it?
- Yeah.
Just pick up the phone?
Yep.
Done.
Thank you, Francis. (CHUCKLES)
I wish everyone
who came through that door
had just can of corn
they needed me to field.
(CHUCKLES) My pleasure.
Good news and bad news.
- Good news first.
- No can do. Sorry, Janko,
your weekend off is off.
- What?
- We put in for that
- four months ago.
- Six, actually.
It's our fifth-year wedding anniversary.
Yeah, well, it's always something, so
- Gee, thanks.
- No, I'm sorry.
Okay? But what I am not
is able to do anything about it.
The new minimum manning requirements
are playing hell
with all the excusal requests.
Well, what if we make some trades?
I already tried.
I think she meant
what if we tried?
So, the good news is
I am sending you
on a different kind of second honeymoon.
An undercover assignment.
To Jazz at Lincoln Center,
and dinner at Marea?
What we were gonna do?
There is a sober living house
in the precinct
that's been getting
all kinds of complaints.
Loud and boisterous behavior, discon,
suspected drug sales.
That New Chapter place?
And a pal of mine
over in Social Services
thinks that they are running
an insurance fraud mill
but can't get any of
the oversight agencies
to pick up the ball.
And you thought of us because?
Dynamic duo, back in action.
Come on Jamko together again,
out on the street,
doing what they do best.
Which is what, exactly?
Gathering evidence through thorough
but disciplined policing.
Any point in us pushing back?
You have met me, right?
Mr. Arnott. Josh Arnott.
And you are?
Detective Gus Vanderlip.
You represented Paulie Sabino
on a rape charge couple weeks back.
It's not a question, Josh.
You did.
And you got him off.
Okay, you say so. What can I do for you?
You can tell me exactly how you did it.
(CHUCKLES)
Oh, what the hell, man?
Get in the car.
Hey, you can't just
Yeah?
I can't?
Get in the car.

BAKER: A lot of the records
pertaining to who worked at Ground Zero
were lost in the flooding
after Superstorm Sandy,
and Sergeant O'Rourke's
seem to be among them.
Oh.
Uh, letters of support
for his application?
Your father's and, uh, two others.
Who worked Ground Zero
with Sergeant O'Rourke?
Uh, that's privileged information.
Which you are in a privileged
position to obtain.
Yes, but using that hook
might raise questions
about this office's confidence
in the application.
Good point.
Where are you going with this?
Uh, where it leads me.
Which is?
Sergeant O'Rourke died
from liver and esophageal cancer.
He was active on social media,
especially posting pictures.
Almost every photo has him
with a cocktail in one hand
and a cigarette in the other.
Can we lose the implied
scolding, please?
He's a decorated police officer,
not a yoga instructor.
Yes, sir.
Battalions of cops have
lived long into retirement
with that lifestyle.
Way fewer, those who worked the pile.
Copy that, sir.
So
Carry on, Baker.
Carry on, looking for what?
Like you said before:
wherever this leads you.
(DOOR OPENS)
Hey. (CHUCKLES)
The old man finally come to his senses
and bust you back down to squad boss?
You wish.
I really miss you, Sarge.
Lieutenant.
Especially after
quitting time in the bar.
That's when I miss you most.
- You mean only then.
- Nah.
- That's not what I mean.
- Yeah.
Come on in.
- What's going on?
- That detective
- that crashed your collar?
- Yeah. Uh-huh?
- Gus Vanderlip?
- Yeah.
We go way back.
Not for nothing, but you go way back
with everyone on the job, boss.
You're old.
Mm-hmm.
Next your gonna tell me he's a good cop.
No, he's not a good cop.
He's a great cop.
Okay, he's a great cop. So?
Shut up and listen. Look at this.
- Who's the guy?
- One Josh Arnott,
Legal Aid attorney.
He's the one that got Paulie Sabino off
the last time he raped a woman.
Vanderlip was pissed off about that.
Rightly so. He sent this video.
VANDERLIP: For the last time,
how did you get him off?
- I told you a technicality.
- What technicality?!
I convinced the judge
that Sabino's statement
was involuntary
and the vic didn't ID him
in the photo array, so the statement
was the only thing
tying him to the crime.
VANDERLIP: Well, except that
he did the rape,
and had before and he just did again!
It was the judge's ruling, so blame her.
I was just doing my job. (GRUNTS)
Okay. He hurt the guy?
No. Just scared the crap out of him.
- Where's Vanderlip now?
- In the wind.
Okay.
And what does all of this
have to do with us?
Gus is not done.
And I don't know who's next.
What do you mean he's not done?
He's not done getting to the bottom
of how a guy like Paulie Sabino
could be walking the streets a free man.
Now, Arnott is pressing charges.
We got to find Gus before the cops do.
We are the cops.
Danny
we need to find him.
It's a three-quarter house,
kind of a play on halfway house.
- I know what it is.
- I don't.
Barely supervised sober living
funded by the city and state.
Translation:
scamming the city and state?
That's what's in the air.
- Mm.
- So,
what are the dos and don'ts
if we can find enough to bring
charges that'd stick?
And what exactly does
your search warrant cover?
We don't have one, yet.
This stage is just observe and report.
Like a mall cop.
We're trying to get enough
for a search warrant.
But not a single agency
including this DA's office
followed up on any of the complaints,
so we're two cops taking a flier.
It's our anniversary tomorrow.
This isn't how we planned
on celebrating it.
- Hey.
- Hey, sorry I'm late.
Uh, I had to go to three different delis
to find poppy seeds.
Poppy seeds in the bagels
and the quinine in the tonic
tests you as positive
for opiates as if you Hoovered
a bunch of Burma sugar yourself.
I found that out, thank you very much.
ERIN: Okay, here goes:
you can look but you can't touch.
All right? You can cite
anything in plain view.
Don't open a drawer,
don't open a closet, don't
bump the space bar
to wake up the laptop.

They have a number of

But all run by the same folks?
You've tried the rest,

Swearing to my mom

You?
Same thing, but with Henry.
Shut up.
Actually, I was praying
that you didn't get smart

No.
Yup. I knew how lucky I was.
ATTENDANT: Edwin Janky?
- I think you're up.
- I know.
GORMLEY: I was tight with him
on and off since the early days.
Not barbecues and birthdays,
more like learning the ropes together.
Mm. Look, I get
a perp can set any
of us off at any time,
but what is it about
this particular case
that set him off so bad?
Well, Gus' little sister
was raped when they were kids,
and she was never the same.
(GROANS SOFTLY)
What do you think he's gonna do?
I don't have his gifts.
I can't read his mind.
If you had to guess.
Guys like Gus hated
a slanted playing field.
Maybe he wants to know
wants us cops to know
how it is that garbage
like Paulie Sabino keeps
getting put out at the curb.
- Good question.
- (DOOR OPENS)
Here they come.
Tommy, Keith.
Hey, Sid, didn't see you there.
- Gus inside?
- Nope.
- Going somewhere?
- Don't know.
He just asked us
to pick up a few things.
We got a problem, Sid?
No, but Vanderlip does.
You don't go around rousting
some Legal Aid attorney
just 'cause he got a guy off.
We don't know nothing about that.
It's in the air.
If you see him,
tell him I'm looking for him.
Will do.
Let's have it.
Have what?
The part you left out.
You asked me to determine whether or not
Sergeant O'Rourke worked
at Ground Zero. I did that.
Yes, and I read that.
But I think you left something out,
so I will ask you again.
What is it?
He did not work at Ground Zero,
on or off-duty.
End of story.
I see.
I'm waiting.
He did work peer-to-peer counseling
after 9/11.
My back-of-the-napkin figuring
hundreds of hours.
Maybe thousands, all in.
So, logged and recorded?
With the organization and with his CO.
Hours of his own time,
spent helping the survivor
families with the paperwork.
Hours spent enduring sneak attacks
of their shock and grief, I imagine.
So, hours spent working on
a different pile of rubble.
But we can't call it work
that gave him what got him.
No.
Apparently, he made great key lime pie.
Baked and delivered
hundreds of those, too.
You need a tissue?
It's just allergies.
Yeah, they're bad this time of year.
JANKO: And you ice that cake
with Jameson losing his mom
ten days after my dad passed,
plus, you know,
struggling with money
and staying clean,
and well, you know, boom, here we are.
Welcome.
Thank you for having us.
We are we're happy to pitch in
with chores or whatever.
We're not freeloaders.
Yeah, we're-we're broke,
you know, money-wise.
Well, maybe you could sell your
story to that Brad Paisley.
Might make a hit single.
Room keys, house rules.
Can I ask you something?
Kind of smells like weed.
Those two are juicers.
Weed's not their problem.

(ALL BOOING, CLAMORING)
VANDERLIP: Tell the people how we lost.
You should have done a lineup
instead of just a photo array.
VANDERLIP: We had the evidence.
It was the guy.
You know it was the guy.
What I know is
the defendant's attorney moved
to have the case dismissed and
the judge ruled for the defense.
VANDERLIP: And that's all you got?
Seriously?
It's not my job
to tell a judge what to do.
VANDERLIP: This account,
and the one from the Legal Aid
attorney she references,
were given under coercion.
But that doesn't mean
that they're not true.
They are true.
Cops got a right to know
what they're up against
from the people we hand
criminals over to for justice.
Thank you.
Well, it's just like you called it.
In fact, it's almost as if
you two had a conversation about it.
What are you saying?
I'm just saying.
Well, we didn't.
Mm-hmm.
But the given day,
the right wrong circumstances,
a vet like Vanderlip
that fuse could be lit by a wet match.
Mm-hmm.
What's the order from One PP?
To bring him in. Quietly, if we can.
You think he'll just go along quietly?
Quietly, I don't know.
But I don't think
he'd ever hurt a fellow cop.
Hey, new kid.
Jamie.
River. Pleased to meet you.
- Likewise.
- You bring any traps?
Rats? Cockroaches?
Oh, n no.

I got some traps you can have.
Oh, thanks.

Did you know that Ryan O'Rourke
put in countless hours
of peer-to-peer work after 9/11?
I told you.
He was a great guy and a great cop.
Well, that's the right word, all right.
I'm sorry I never got to meet him.
Mm.
You know, he put in
maybe over a thousand hours,
and not one minute of them
was submitted as overtime.
Wow.
Hmm.
And
not one minute of them
was at Ground Zero, either.
Well, that can't be right.
Look, who is shepherding
his application?
His widow, his boys.
The union, uh,
some of his old cop pals.
Well, they need to back off.
Because you say so?
Because it's a fraudulent claim.
Oh, you'd better take that back.
Okay, uh, because it's a dead end, Pop.
The VCF and the Pension Fund
do investigate these claims, you know.
Yeah, I know.
And they weigh in
all kinds of extenuating circumstances,
which is why I asked you
to pick up the phone.
Not investigate yourself,
just pick up the phone.
And I can't do that.
Look
he's a hero, Pop.
Just not a Ground Zero one.
So, are you gonna pick up the phone
and kill the application?
Hey.
That thought never even occurred to me.
Well, don't.
And maybe next time when
somebody asks you for a favor,
just say yes or just say no,
but don't say yes
and then frisk the favor
and grill it in the box.
Now leave me alone.

just a couple of weeks back.
Got it. Put the gun away.
How about first you talk.
Not at gunpoint.
Okay.
Now.
How about you tell me
how in the hell does that happen?
Well, let me try to remember.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
I didn't stop to look.
I think I hit him in the arm
- or the shoulder.
- And he ran out?
And I called 911.
You said he put the gun aside.
Did he holster it?
No, on the table.
Oh. You shot an unarmed man?
Unarmed?
- Yeah.
- Well, it was within reach,
but What are you getting at?
We're just trying to ascertain
the chain of events, Judge.
The chain of events was he
broke into my house and pulled
a gun on me and I shot him
when I had the chance.
You two
Did he attempt to return fire?
No.
Did he prevent you from calling 911?
No, he did not.
He fled, out the back.
And we are done here.

I know the man.
He's one of those cops,
when he goes,
he wants it to be at 90 miles per hour
with his hair on fire.
He did. Until he cracked.
Cracked, yeah.
Don't mean he fell apart, though.

First of all,
thank you both for the grace
that you showed me.
Second, I'm sending what I got
from the judge along with this,
and third, and to the point,
what has it come to? (SCOFFS)
A cop breaks into a judge's house,
grills the judge at gunpoint. The judge
gets the jump on the cop and shoots him.
What a world, huh?
(LAUGHS)
What a world that is.
Did you hear that in the background?
Yeah, boarding announcements. Airport.
Yeah. Newark's too far.
- It's got to be JFK or LaGuardia.

We should call it in.
Yeah, yeah.
We should call it in.
Maybe.

- Yeah.
- Well,

The fund has been jammed up some
with false claims.

BAKER: A lot of the records

were lost in the flooding
after Superstorm Sandy,

Your father's and, uh, two others.
Who worked Ground Zero
with Sergeant O'Rourke?
Uh, that's privileged information.

position to obtain.
Yes, but using that hook
might raise questions
about this office's confidence
in the application.
Good point.
Where are you going with this?

Which is?
Sergeant O'Rourke died
from liver and esophageal cancer.
He was active on social media,
especially posting pictures.
Almost every photo has him
with a cocktail in one hand
and a cigarette in the other.
Can we lose the implied
scolding, please?
He's a decorated police officer,
not a yoga instructor.
Yes, sir.
Battalions of cops have

No, he's not a good cop.
He's a great cop.
Okay, he's a great cop. So?
Shut up and listen. Look at this.
- Who's the guy?
- One Josh Arnott,
Legal Aid attorney.
He's the one that got Paulie Sabino off
the last time he raped a woman.
Vanderlip was pissed off about that.
Rightly so. He sent this video.
VANDERLIP: For the last time,
how did you get him off?
- I told you a technicality.
- What technicality?!
I convinced the judge
that Sabino's statement
was involuntary
and the vic didn't ID him
in the photo array, so the statement
was the only thing
tying him to the crime.
VANDERLIP: Well, except that
he did the rape,
and had before and he just did again!
It was the judge's ruling, so blame her.
I was just doing my job. (GRUNTS)
Okay. He hurt the guy?
No. Just scared the crap out of him.
- Where's Vanderlip now?
- In the wind.
Okay.
And what does all of this
have to do with us?
Gus is not done.
And I don't know who's next.
What do you mean he's not done?
He's not done getting to the bottom
of how a guy like Paulie Sabino
could be walking the streets a free man.
Now, Arnott is pressing charges.
We got to find Gus before the cops do.

at a doc-in-the-box.
43rd Ave and Bliss Street,
Long Island City.
Chaz Goodrow?
Still in business, God bless him.
Who else knows he's there?
Nobody.
You're sure about that?
Positive.
We got him to Goodrow 'cause,
you know trust.
Trust. Mm.
Like the same way we can trust
that you're not gonna tip him off
that we're on our way?
We're on orders from the
PC to bring him in.
I've known the PC my whole life.
Trust me, you don't want to cross him.
Right?
- Copy that.
- Copy that.
Good.
I've known Vandy too long
and respect him too much.
I'm afraid he's gonna talk me out
- of collaring him.
- Well, we both caught the case.
Just ride shotgun.
Are you asleep?
It's barely 10:00 Saturday night.
(SIGHING)
Oh, Pop.
(LAUGHING, INDISTINCT CHATTER)
It's like they're not
even trying to hide it.
Yeah, and they only do that when what?
When you think no one's looking
for what you're trying to hide.
You got your phone?
Yeah.
Watch me now.

he got the jump on us.

- Mmm.
What are we, amateurs?
Well, you're a little rusty.
Or we could just tell the truth.
- Hmm.
- Three cops, three guns out,
but nobody with an appetite
to shoot one of their own.
- Can't hang us for that.
- Or
never happened.
Think he might off himself?
Vandy? Nah.
Did kind of crack.
And he also said,
you know, "suicide by cop."
You're gonna off yourself,
why do you go get your wing fixed first?
It'd be like getting
a magazine subscription

You're gonna be dead.
What good are they?
- Good point.
- Besides,
I know the man.
He's one of those cops,
when he goes,
he wants it to be at 90 miles per hour

He did. Until he cracked.
Cracked, yeah.
Don't mean he fell apart, though.
