The body of Christ.

Amen.

The body of Christ.

Amen.

The body of Christ.

Amen.

Priest: The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

No, no. Theo, don�t pull daddy�s nose hairs.

I want to use the nose machine.

We don�t have the nose machine with US, do we?

Why don�t you show me

how you run up and down these stairs, okay?

Walk up and down the stairs.

Be careful-- they�re slippery.

Need a hand?

Do I need a hand? No, I got things covered.

I�m climbing these stairs.

You�re doing some job, Theo.

You�re climbing those stairs like a grade school guy.

Check across the street.

A surveillance Van?

What, they got the church up -- excessive bingo?

Kirkendall and them come out of communion service

and they see a surveillance Van.

Yeah, it�s going to cast a pall.

Which one of you is moishe?

What are you doing? We�re parked.

You about to neck? What�s your problem?

We�re on the job in the city of New York.

You�re occupying a suspicious vehicle.

Hey, don�t break balls. You know who we are.

You�re the only one on the job here, right?

And what we�re askin� is what you�re doing here. You got people on the job

whose kids are getting their first communion.

We have an assignment we have to execute.

Is that right? Yeah, that�s right.

Let�s go. They blew it for US. Thanks a lot, guys.

So long, squirt.

Squirt? What, you got some pre-existing relationship

with my boy, you can call him that nickname?

Theo, stick your tongue out. Get out of here.

Okay, we�ll go back in for the finish.

No, I want to stay out here.

You don�t want to see the big fireworks in there

for the finish?

I do.

Okay.

Morning. Hi.

How come you�re not in the bag?

I�m here to talk to the captain.

You�re not jammed?

They want to talk about plainclothes,

working anti-crime. What do you think?

What do you think?

The plus --

it�s the fast track for a shield, definitely.

Downside -- they task you with specific conditions,

robbery patterns, so forth.

So you�re not really part of the neighborhood.

What I liked about being a street cop,

you helped with whatever came along.

Soup to nuts.

And how�s things otherwise?

Okay.

Yeah?

I haven�t acted like a 6-year-old

in anyone�s apartment for the last few days,

which i�m glad of.

I liked you in my apartment just how you were, Franco.

Would you call me Mary?

Sure, absolutely.

Anyways...

Yeah, announce yourself.

Take care, Danny.

Yeah, all right, Mary.

Let me know how this breaks.

Okay.

Well, this certainly explains

the worthy reasons that you guys would have

sitting out in that Van passing gas

surveilling people at a church.

No, i�m -- i�m ashamed that we disturbed you

for your lovely afternoon.

Yeah, right back at you, douchebag.

What were those guys doing?

You want to know who they had up?

Who?

Kirkendall�s ex, all right?

Her loser former spouse,

that�s now on camera twice weekly picking up packages

at the air Peru cargo terminal at Kennedy.

Maybe he went in the import business.

Yeah, probably bringing in them little dwarf dolls

with the coolie hats and the serapes.

This is going to be some bag of crap

telling kirkendall her husband is muling dope.

Hey. Ho.

You know who that was on the phone? When?

Him and me see two guys in a surveillance Van

outside the church yesterday, go break their balls.

This one was telling US what it was about,

how kirkendall can�t say nothing about it.

To who?

It�s her ex-husband they�ve got up.

What�s he doing?

Picks up packages from Peru, takes them out

to little Bogota up in Jackson heights.

That prick. That jerk.

That�s what you�re looking at with this.

She said yesterday how she was confiding in you

whether her and him might give it another whirl.

Now this falls in your lap.

What am I supposed to do?

Maybe you don�t say nothing.

Didn�t the guy say, "stay out"?

Actually, he said, if you tell kirkendall,

make sure none of this gets out to her ex.

If you don�t think this is crucial information...

He�s involved in criminal activities,

and that could factor into what you�re counseling her over.

No, but if she�s not over her head with this dildo,

then believe me, you stay out of it, too.

Hey, Jill. Hey.

Hi, Jill.

Hi. It was a great day yesterday.

Great day to share with friends.

Hi.

Hi.

I�m still on cloud nine.

I can imagine.

It was so good afterward, Diane.

Kyle was so proud.

His brother actually seemed happy for him.

Wow.

Don was great.

Was he?

Yeah, he was right there for the boys,

and he was right there for me.

Jill, I, um, I need to tell you something about Don.

What?

The job�s watching him.

They�ve got him up in a drug investigation.

How do you know that?

Sorenson and Andy hassled the surveillance Van

outside the church yesterday.

They got the heads-up this morning

what the surveillance was about.

How deeply is Don involved?

Evidently, he�s,

he�s making pickups at the airport

and deliveries in Jackson heights.

He�s picking up packages from Peru.

He was so good with US.

I�m sorry.

He was so good.

We were a family again.

Okay...

Thanks for the heads-up.

The -- the other side of it,

I guess they,

they want to be sure you don�t say anything to him.

Right.

I�m sorry.

Are you?

Isn�t some part of you thinking, "I told you so"?

No, not even a little part.

I forgot, you�re a Saint.

Jill.

Sorry for being bitter.

Just one more human shortcoming.

Have you been saving this up?

I don�t treat my feelings like delicate flowers, Diane.

I put them out when I have them.

Well, thanks for sharing those.

How�d it go?

Screw you, Andy!

Arturo gillon, state parole.

Detective Sorenson. What�s it about?

This is Romeo Rodriguez, one of my parolees.

He wants to file a report.

In what regard?

He�s been harassed and threatened.

Some buddies of his are trying to reel him back into crime.

We�ll take the report in the coffee room. Yeah. In here.

He needs to go on record

instead of doing something stupid.

How long you been out?

38 days.

Who�s counting, right?

Lost time.

I could violate him now.

Did everything right while he was inside,

comes out to steady work packing meat.

He�s consorting with known felons at rey�s pool hall.

You want US to talk to him, right?

Who�s threatening you, Romeo?

Whoever�s threatening me, I can handle. You look like that�s probably true.

Threats don�t intimidate me.

I wasn�t turned out inside,

I ain�t bitching up on the street.

That�s not a picture comes easily to mind.

I�m here because he brought me.

Your p. O. Is trying to teach you

alternative techniques in threat management.

Romeo�s, usual approach.

He probably discourages intimidation with a shank.

That�s the high-quality thinking

that probably brought him to his previous address.

What was you act with your old buddies?

Trucks, sold some swag.

Noble calling.

I been basically taking direction.

I know he got my interest at heart.

I�m going to tell you some other things.

My goal -- to stay straight,

work my job, and chill.

Don�t be hanging out with known felons?

I�m supposed to spend my life in my basement?

I shot some 9-ball.

Some guys start some behavior.

Where we going with this?

I�m a rageaholic, okay? Psychiatrist-diagnosed.

You disrespect me, i�m going to react.

Keep going, Romeo. Work yourself up real good.

Get feeling all oppressed

so your mood is right for doing something stupid.

When they lock you up again, it�s not your fault, right?

Why you acted like an idiot,

some asshole shrink gave you an official title.

Romeo�s a rageaholic, which means he�s pissed off,

unlike the vast majority of US,

gliding along, devil-may-care.

All i�m saying is --

don�t say nothing, Romeo.

Show US you�re working on this takin� direction and getting your mind right.

I�m trying to keep my mind right!

You got to act on that,

comply with your p. O.�s instructions.

Arturo: Juan and Ricky, Romeo. Write them down.

These guys don�t take a collar, right?

They don�t take a collar. They�ll put you on record if something jumps off

behind them harassing you.

�cause I ain�t no snitch!

This isn�t snitching.

It�s just like your p. O. Tells you.

You�re building muscles up to keep yourself outside.

Hi, Diane.

How was the compstat meeting?

Nifty.

Lieutenant.

Um, dump job.

Work it with Jill?

She�s on lost time. I know where to find her.

Does she need lost time?

No, she probably needs to catch the case.

Where�s Sorenson and sipowicz?

John: The coffee room.

They were taking a harassment report,

although the parole officer and his parolee left.

They�ll probably come out when I go.

What�s going on?

Yeah, how�s it going?

How was compstat?

Anonymous 911 -- baby in a dumpster.

Thanks.

No bruising.

I want that baby out of there.

Let me get a polaroid.

Get the photo, and let�s get the baby out of there.

What a mess.

You recognize this baby?

Yeah.

That�s rosana�s baby. She lives across the hall.

She have a last name?

No.

Did you see anybody coming in or out

of rosana�s apartment this morning?

Mnh-mnh, no.

You seen rosana this morning?

I haven�t seen anybody.

Any idea where the mother would be?

Probably on the bowery lifting her skirt to get high.

What�s she look like?

5�6", light-skinned, frizzy hair, great butt.

All right, we�ll go get her. Thanks.

Hey, don�t wait for crime scene.

Get that baby out of there.

As far as women go,

that brouhaha with Russell and kirkendall,

they don�t hold grudges how we do.

Don�t have the same duration.

These things blow over.

So you�d expect they�d come skipping in arm-in-arm.

D.O.A. stabbing -- 10th street, near Avenue c.

Juan olmedo.

Juan olmedo?

Unbelievable.

We know him?

Parole officer had one of his cons

file a harassment report on this guy and his buddies.

We gave the con a very effective counseling session

not taking matters in his own hands.

Left here two hours ago.

That�s got to be some kind of record.

D.o.a.�s a Juan olmedo.

You didn�t happen to find a card on his body --

"I did this, signed Romeo Rodriguez"?

No, I didn�t find any card.

When they pull the knife out,

they�re liable to find "Romeo Rodriguez" chiseled on the blade.

He�s who probably did it.

Anybody see anything?

This one woman�s been hanging around --

where is she?

The blonde in the blue top, striped shirt.

Hey, excuse me, ma�am, do you live around here?

Right up there, third floor.

I�m detective Sorenson, my partner detective sipowicz.

Were you home this morning? Yes, I am -- was.

You see what happened? No, I didn�t.

Did you see anyone hanging around this morning? Suspicious?

Did you hear any shouting, someone�s name?

I didn�t see anything, hear anything. I can�t help you.

It�s good of you to be standing in the hot sun to let US know that.

The sun don�t bother me.

She wants to talk with a detective.

You the detective?

Yeah. And you would be?

Maria Alvarez. I go out with Romeo.

Could this be Romeo Rodriguez?

Romeo says you guys are going to lock him up.

He comes into my place all freaked out,

says he�s seen Juan dead and knows you guys are gonna lock him up.

Romeo is at your place?

Yes. He�s drinking a bottle of vodka, smokin� a cigarette,

talking about putting his head in the stove.

You need to come with me over there.

It�s a rent-controlled apartment.

I ain�t trying to have it blown up.

Please lead the way.

All right, it�s across town.

I want you to use your siren.

The lights, too?

Excuse me.

Please.

Hey.

You seen rosana?

Rosana is about to get in some drama

around the corner.

Thanks for your help.

$40?

Just leave me alone!

It�s a baby, you dumb crack-ho!

Whoa! Hey, hey, hey!

That�s enough!

Calm down! Calm down, okay?

We�re all taking a ride.

Great!

How am I going to get right now, bitch?

What you looking at?

Staring all at my muumuu.

I�m walkin� all up in here.

Remember who told ya!

Kiss my ass, sweet-cakes!

Little miss sarcastic bitch!

Gas.

It�s chained.

Get in there. He�s looking to blow my place up.

Get back.

Don�t take out the door frame.

Just shut your mouth and get to one side.

Don�t turn on no light switches behind all this gas.

Maybe romeo�s trying to kill himself because of your bossy mouth.

Get out of there, Romeo.

Let me die, man. Leave me alone.

What happens to my possessions

when you get blown to smithereens?

All right, button up now so we can find out what�s going on.

I wait for you four years

so you can use my crib as a launch pad.

Why�d you do this? Why you think?

Is this about that alley? Did your temper get the best of you with Juan?

That�s what you�re going to think, man.

That�s how it�s going to come out.

Why not get it over with?

Don�t be claiming innocence, Romeo.

The dumb-cluck defense is staring you in the face.

Sure that�s what you were gonna think. That�s why I put my head in the oven.

You got your head in the oven �cause you ain�t got no consideration.

Don�t you go dying on me!

At some point, would you kindly ask her

who is with my baby at the present?

You nappy-haired little bitch.

You got some nerve asking me that!

Separate interviews, John. What�s open?

Three and the coffee room.

Hank, can you take Inez to the coffee room? Sure.

We�re going to need a policewoman

in interview three, John. Fine.

Bring me up here for some street fight.

Is that why you think you�re here?

You sure as hell can�t get me on a solicitation.

I wasn�t nowhere near no trick.

What was it about with Inez, rosana?

You tell me

what�s on some he-she crazy, wacky mind.

Was that your baby Inez was carrying on about?

Hey...

I-I gave that damn bitch $40

to look out for Tanya.

When did you see your baby last?

Four days ago,

but I paid Inez to look out for her,

so don�t call no child welfare on me,

all right?

What the hell is going on?

We found Tanya dead in a dumpster.

What?

Did you put her there?

What are you telling me all cold like that,

that my baby is dead?

We found her in a dumpster.

Either you put her there,

or someone else did

while you were busy tricking and shooting dope.

Unh.

Not me.

Not me. It wasn�t my fault.

I loved that baby. It must have been Inez.

Has Inez got a temper?

Yeah. You saw her out on the street.

Would she have a temper with a child?

How do I know that?

Yeah, why try to find that out

before you left your baby with her?

Account for your time. The last four days.

No, I didn�t do it.

You saying you won�t account for your time?

�cause it can get a lot colder in here.

N-No, i�m saying I wouldn�t hurt my baby, all right?

I love my baby.

My god. I�ll account for my time.

You got enough fumes out of your head

to tell US what you did this morning?

What�s the point, man? What�s the point?

How about avoiding premature death?

You�re talking to a guy who had his head in an oven.

I wrote Juan olmedo down for harassing me,

and Juan olmedo shows up dead.

I�m a rageaholic already.

I did a pound for an aggravated assault.

Show me where to sign. I�m guilty.

Did you kill this guy?

No.

Then how about climbing out of your pity pit

to answer our damn questions?

You are an obvious candidate

in this homicide, Romeo,

but that don�t mean dick if you got an alibi.

I don�t.

I called in sick to the meat factory

so I can file a report with you people.

Where�d you go after you left this morning?

Home to my room.

And what did you do?

Listened to affirmation tapes.

Who told you Romeo was killed, Juan?

Who told you Juan was killed, Romeo?

Ricky called, accusing me.

Juan was dead. Stabbed in the alley.

Ricky called your place?

Pay phone in the hallway.

Ricky, that you went on record

was harassing you with Juan.

He call you there before?

An hour before. Did I know where Juan was?

When they came at you to crew up,

was it Ricky taking the lead or Juan who�s dead?

Ricky.

Ricky that knows you�re home with no alibi

when an undetermined party croaks Juan.

You saying Ricky jacked Juan and framed me?

Well, if you didn�t do this homicide, Romeo,

and we rule Juan out

for stabbing himself with the knife

in the course of possibly robbing himself,

yeah, yeah, Ricky would be the logical candidate.

What would be his motive?

Did you do it, Romeo?

Sorenson : Please, come in.

We were barely beginning to make progress, here.

I didn�t, but I know i�m going away for it.

Do you think he did it?

He says he didn�t. On the other hand,

he�s also trying to help US rule out alternative suspects.

Account for your time since I dropped you off.

Then you can give me the short course

on Ricky Edwards in our squad room.

Romeo, tell him about the affirmation tapes

you were listening to with your head in the oven.

Thanks, Hank.

Sure.

But you kept looking, didn�t you, muscle boy?

Harold Carmichael?

Going to call me that?

Just trying to get the facts right, okay?

Harold Carmichael. Yes.

Like the football player, only 4 inches shorter,

and preferring to be called Inez.

What were you doing out there beating rosana?

I was upset at her irresponsibility.

What was she irresponsible about?

Four days ago, she brought her little

beautiful baby to stay with me.

She�s just 10 months old.

Just a gift from god.

Rosana said she was going to come back

at 9:00 that same evening

to pick her up.

The damn ho didn�t even show up!

I have had feminine equipment installed --

almost $23,000.

I had a doctor�s appointment this morning.

He said he had to have me in there,

have my canal evaluated.

So what did you do with the baby?

I left her in her crib in her own apartment.

I left her at 8:20 this morning in perfect health. I did!

When I left that baby, it was fine.

You have any reason to think she�s not now?

That baby is dead, Inez.

What are you referring to?

We found the baby you were taking care of

dead in a dumpster outside the apartment building

where you were babysitting her.

What are you referring to?

We found you on the street beating that baby�s mother.

It wouldn�t be hard to imagine you going stir-crazy

after staying with that baby three days

doing something you didn�t mean to do

and hated yourself for it 30 seconds later.

I did nothing of the sort!

I would never hurt the child!

It�s just a child. God.

Did rosana hurt Tanya?

The baby�s dead. It�s dead.

Stop! Stop referring to it.

I-I...

I have love.

I have love in my heart.

Why -- why have I been brought such pain?

What did you get?

Inez in the coffee room was babysitting for the mother.

It was supposed to be a few hours three nights ago.

The mother�s a crack whore

and didn�t come back.

Inez finally this morning left the baby.

She had to go to a doctor�s appointment.

She could have done something and doesn�t remember

or maybe blocked it out.

We�re sure it�s not the mother? No, it�s not the mother.

No, only words that mother said you knew were true

were that she hadn�t seen that baby in four days.

Probably after the doctor�s appointment,

the sitter came back, found the baby dead,

and panicked.

Yeah. We�ll check out the apartment

where the baby died and go back at the sitter.

Whatever happened,

she�s going to tip over quick.

Something going on between you

I need to know about?

No. All day?

Nothing you need to know about.

This is for the detectives?

Can I help you?

Yeah, I lost the card,

but the detectives were a boyish detective

and a loud-mouthed older bald one.

Has a reward been posted in that case?

Do you have information on that homicide?

Do you have information on the reward status?

I�m not sure what dollar amount

they�ve put on that yet.

I know it�s a very high-profile case.

On what basis?

He looked like a gang-banger.

Evidently this was some high-profile territorial

gang-banging incident.

You mean across state lines?

I know it�s prioritized

based on when information is provided.

I can�t discuss

if a substantial federal reward�s involved.

Of what amount?

What is your name, please?

Margaret custance.

Are you involved in prioritizing the amounts?

I can tell you, Margaret,

that as of now,

providing substantial information,

your position would be substantial.

I won�t guarantee how much longer that will be true.

What, they�re talking to other witnesses?

I�m not privy to discuss that.

Write this down.

The stabbing was by a, um...

A tank-top man with a ponytail

and a left-ear earring.

There�s that know-nothing from the crime scene.

6-foot, ponytail, an earring

and a loud mouth, this Ricky Edwards.

Think this Ricky could�ve killed his buddy Juan?

Absolutely.

Write I was a witness and the time I told you.

Are you FBI?

Do you prioritize the amount?

Russell: Here�s how we�re going to do this, Inez.

We know you�re upset about Tanya,

and we�re upset, too.

We�re upset, too.

We�re going to ask you some specific questions,

and you answer yes or no.

Or you can just nod yes or no.

All right?

So we�re all on the same page?

After you left your doctor�s,

did you go back

to where you had left Tanya?

Yes, I did.

And when you went to rosana�s apartment

to look in on Tanya,

did you find her dead?

Had the baby choked on her vomit?

That would�ve been a great shame for me,

and fortunately,

I was out when it may have happened.

Anyway...

Since we all agree

you did go back and check on Tanya,

and we all agree

Tanya had died...

Did you, for whatever reason --

being frightened or upset --

was that you who put the baby in the dumpster?

You did put the baby in the dumpster.

Are we through at this moment,

because I believe I said yes.

What happened?

Inez stayed till this morning,

and she had to go to a doctor�s appointment.

She came back afterward

and found the baby dead.

The baby vomited and choked.

Is that how she died?

Yeah.

And then she put her in the dumpster? Inez?

I leave my baby with her, and she lets it choke.

She lets it die,

and then she throws it in the garbage?

She stayed four days.

You said you�d be gone three hours.

Don�t think I didn�t love my baby.

I just,

I just can�t manage, that�s all, you know?

I-I don�t know how to live.

Only surprise to me

as far as Ricky being described for the perpetrator --

what is he doing in yonkers afterward to get arrested?

Ricky was engaged in a separate illegal act.

Well, tsk. That�s criminals for you, right?

Hi. It�s about damn time.

Romeo: Hi, baby.

Hi, baby,

and i�m sorry about your stove.

He wants to express his gratitude.

Don�t worry about it.

I�m grateful you going the distance.

Stay right out there, Romeo.

Yeah, stay right. Bon voyage.

You could�ve told him it takes 47 fewer muscles to smile.

See them out.

So, evidently, that thing with you and kirkendall

didn�t go that well?

You want to talk about it?

�cause you seem like you�re independently upset.

No, I don�t want to talk about it.

We can talk about it later?

I tried to see them out, but they left.

Hey, point that at your own nose, Andy.

You let this be a lesson.

Leave well enough alone.

Yes, leave well enough alone.

Don�t mix in, also,

and don�t get caught in the middle.

Put a little something aside for a rainy day.

Hey, those that don�t learn from history

are condemned to repeat it, pal.

And you can take that to the bank.

Mama said there�d be days like this.

I�m sorry, Diane.

It�s, um...

Lousy working a case like that

and not being able to talk to your friend.

I�m sorry if what I told you about Don,

it sounded like gloating.

I don�t know where that came from.

The...

The sainthood part doesn�t fit,

but I don�t think you�re wrong.

I have been hiding.

You�ve been trying to live your life.

Probably I could lead my sermons off saying that

when people ask for advice.

I know you�re just trying to live your life.

I�m...

I�m going to tell him

i�m not going to see him anymore.

I�m so sorry.

No, it�s okay.

You all right?

Yeah. You?

Yeah.

Shh. How�d I do?

The boys are asleep.

Don�t ever tell me this isn�t a great country.

You�re an asshole, Don.

You�re a real bad guy.

Do I hear a past tense in there somewhere?

If I didn�t think i�d wake the boys,

i�d punch you in the face.

What�s going on?

I�m going to tell you what�s going on.

You�re going to agree not to see those kids again

and to stay the hell out of my life.

You�re up, Don.

They�ve been watching you for two months.

The pickups at the airport,

deliveries to the dealers in Jackson heights.

You�re a conspiracy collar any time they want you.

This is assuming I know what you�re talking about.

Do not make me wake those children.

What, are you assuming

i�m not going to see the children anymore,

that i�m going to agree not to see the kids,

and that�s the end of everything?

Meaning if you agree to what I say,

you can beat being arrested.

I mean, even assuming agreeing

to everything you�re talking about --

I think to beat a collar, Don,

you better get your ass out of town,

because I do not intend running our agreement

past my boss or the d. A.

You don�t think I was happy

kneeling at the altar with you and Kyle?

You�re crazy. Don�t.

If you think I don�t love you and the kids --

so you look out for kids who adore you

muling dope so their hearts break when you�re arrested?

Will you believe me?

This is the first i�ve known what�s in those packages.

No.

Do you even know that it�s drugs, honey?

Because I was told it was vases.

Ha.

So how do all those vases look

in the dealer�s living room?

I won�t try to explain what happened

or how you get duped by a friend.

No, thank your friend for me.

And you wore that

because you don�t want to see me anymore?

Hope you don�t wind up that way, Jill --

just a bitter, lonely broad.

Yeah, I hope not.

I hope that for the children�s sake.
