Original subtitles

Previously on NYPD blue...

What are you thinkin�? Don could be dead. Simmons might have killed him.

We don�t know that.

God.

Harrison was convinced his wife was having an affair

with a detective in the squad. Do you know anything about it?

I run a clean squad.

If you want to waste your time trying to prove otherwise,

be my guest.

No point in that, is there?

Would you mind if the rest of US joined you and Connie?

I appreciate it, but if you have something else to do...

Squad sticks together. We�re a team.

You�re on the team.

I think that your mom is ill,

and that she needs medical help,

but you gotta tell me what she�s doing to you

to make that happen.

Does she touch you?

I guess.

How long I gotta be at this place?

A few days -- till things settle out with your mom.

Who�s Clark?

Me.

And you�re James? Yeah.

Come on, we�ll get you something to eat.

See you soon, James.

What did we just do?

Victim�s Josie Toms. Fianct walked in on it.

Perp bailed out the window, fled down the fire escape.

What�s the fianct�s name?

Ray Morrison.

Hi, Josie.

Detectives Connie mcdowell, Rita Ortiz.

Ray: She�s pretty freaked out right now.

I�m okay.

Rita: If you don�t mind, we�ll need to talk in private.

All you need to know is Lenny ganno!

Hey, take it easy.

Lenny ganno?

Yeah, it was him jumping out the window!

I saw his face, and I saw his ass!

He lives on ludlow. He delivers pizza for damico.

How do you know him?

He�s my second cousin. He comes over sometimes.

That son of a bitch!

Mr. Morrison, we really need to talk to Josie alone.

No, i�m fine. I just want to kill him!

Just let them do their job, ray.

Rita: Mr. Morrison, let�s step over here.

You can tell me what you saw, all right?

Just take it easy.

What time did you leave for work this morning?

I had to hold him back from going after that guy.

He was gonna kill him. Really kill him.

Connie: Tell me what happened.

I was getting ready for nursing school.

Then this Lenny rings the bell.

He says that ray borrowed some tools he needed back,

so I let him in to get them, but he started pawing at me.

And then he tackled me, and I couldn�t get him off.

Did he have a weapon?

No.

Did he strike you?

He tore open my robe...

And held me down.

And he raped me.

Is it normal for ray to be home around this time?

He forgot his wallet.

And in the past, you�d only seen Lenny at this apartment

or did you socialize at all?

Why?

I�m just wondering how he�d know you were home alone.

Ray: Look, Lenny ganno! Lenny ganno!

Just go find him!

Mr. Morrison, you�ve gotta calm down!

Are we done here? He�s going crazy.

You need to get to the hospital for a rape kit.

Yeah, while Lenny skips town, right?!

Look, we�ll have guys look for Lenny

while we�re getting you to the hospital, okay?

Why don�t you go put something on?

And we�re gonna need that robe.

What happened to his eye?

He�s not saying. James!

Think maybe somebody hit him?

I ask him who did it, he looks at the ground.

Didn�t I ask you to watch out for him?

If he won�t do his part, there�s nothing I can do.

I�m not psychic.

Hey.

What happened?

Nothing.

If you say who hit you, they�ll keep him away.

It�d get worse.

You don�t know that.

Did my mom see the judge this week?

They say when she�ll get out?

The judge said that she�ll need 24-hour care for a while.

How long?

Till the doctor says she�s better.

A week? A year?

Hopefully, not too long, James.

Did you talk to my aunt Irene?

Yeah, I guess she�s got a real small apartment,

and there wouldn�t be enough room for you.

That doesn�t mean i�m out of ideas.

It�s been three weeks.

I really want to get out of here.

I gotta make this call. Sit tight.

I got class.

James.

Yeah?

I�m not forgetting about you.

Okay.

I got you some magazines.

They steal them.

Her dog dig it up? Yeah, but she didn�t see anybody around here.

Her main concern is that her dog might have caught some disease

from chewin� on the corpse�s hand.

What�s up with crime scene?

They�re supposed to be here by now.

We�ll start a canvass.

Morning.

What do we got?

You�re looking at it.

Female? Or a kid.

Got a pajama top on under her sweatshirt.

Wish I could just get it out of there already.

Where�s crime scene?

Notified. Late.

You stop by and see kilik?

Yeah. He�s getting his ass kicked.

We gotta do something for this kid.

Like what, take him home?

I don�t know, maybe.

You�re talking out of your ass.

We put him there, and he�s gonna come out on a gurney.

You want to get yourself worked up about it,

you get yourself worked up.

There�s nothing we can do.

It�s about time.

Missing persons says your D.O.A. matches a girl reported missing

yesterday morning in Chinatown -- a wan yi kwan, 14.

Her parents been notified?

On their way in.

Mcdowell and Ortiz?

Responding to a rape.

My sister�s stopping by today.

Coming in from Boston? Yes.

I look forward to meeting her.

John: 15th squad.

Gibson�s sons were foster kids.

Eddie Gibson?

He adopted them out of the program,

and I know he took in other kids.

He might have some pull as far as placing kilik.

You�ll call him?

If it stops you moping.

Anti-crime to squad.

Guy moving towards the alley in a blue hat.

Not him.

Squad to anti-crime -- not our guy.

I hope you don�t think i�ve been rude

not asking about the funeral.

I wanted to respect your privacy, so...

Thanks, but I guess I put it away.

It was fine -- no major traumas, a lot of speeches.

And you?

His sister called a few days before

asking would I mind not speaking.

Ouch.

No, it gave me a chance

to listen to what the others were saying.

You know, good things, funny memories.

It took away some of the bitterness.

I got a minute alone with the casket, made my peace,

closed the book.

Now you move on.

Right back to the dating pool.

I�m kidding.

I know, but I have thought about it, and i�m dreading it.

It�s pretty dreadful.

How do you deal with it?

I guess I just take things as they come.

Thanks for asking about the funeral.

Anti-crime to squad.

Guy in a black leather jacket and blue jeans coming your way.

That�s him.

Crime, move in.

Freeze! Police!

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

Okay. Okay, no problem.

This how you always get into your place, Lenny?

I got a crazy man after me. He�s trying to kill me.

What are you doing?

What�s this all about? What did I do?

We�ll talk about it at the station house.

Why don�t you have a seat, Mr. and Mrs. Kwan?

Can we get you anything?

She not speak English. Talk to me.

You filed a missing-persons report on your daughter, wan yi?

Yes.

It says here the last time you saw her was two days ago.

Yes.

Where was that?

At home.

She was going to work before school.

Was there a fight?

Was your daughter angry when she left?

She no like getting up early to go to work before school.

Had she ever run away before?

No. Sometimes she come home late.

American friends.

We�re gonna show you a photo, Mr. Kwan.

It may be your daughter.

Now, the girl in the photo is dead, so prepare yourself.

Wan yi!

Wan yi!

Mr. Kwan: It�s wan yi.

What happened to her?!

We don�t know yet.

My wife say, "talk to the boy named Travis henning."

He want to be wan yi boyfriend.

We�ll look into it.

We�re very sorry.

Hey.

How were the parents on your d. O. A.?

They gave US a boyfriend we�re looking into --

Travis henning.

You find out why the d. O. A. Was wearing her pajamas?

She worked at a restaurant before school.

I guess she woke up too tired to take them off.

John.

You�re early.

Somehow, there wasn�t traffic on the ride from Kennedy.

Everyone�s working cases,

so I need to introduce you right away.

Lieutenant Tony Rodriguez, my sister Delia.

Nice to meet you.

Detectives Greg medavoy, Baldwin Jones, John Clark,

and Andy sipowicz.

John talks very highly of you all,

and he always refers to you as a good friend,

so it�s nice to finally meet you.

Yeah, you too. Good to meet you.

Okay, grand tour?

Can we get some coffee first?

Sure.

Everyone seems nice.

They�re great.

Detective sipowicz has the son you baby-sit for?

Yeah -- Theo.

John, I wanted to talk to you about dad.

I knew it.

I knew you didn�t come down here to see where I work.

I knew you�d ambush me about dad.

When I talk to you about him on the phone, you hang up.

I wonder why, Delia.

He�s sick, John. He�s really sick.

Please don�t do this to me.

Do what? What am I doing?

I�m just telling you that your father is sick

and he�s in the hospital.

He�s got congestive heart failure.

He came to New York to see a specialist at Jefferson memorial

about the possibility of a valve operation,

but the doctor�s not optimistic.

It could be weeks.

It could be a few days.

I thought you should know.

Okay.

So now I know.

Whatever differences you and dad have had -- differences?!

Considering what he�s up against, maybe you should try.

Did he ask to see me?

I�m not gonna see him. I�m sorry.

And you can tell him that if he even cares,

but i�m not gonna see him.

If he dies, I just don�t want you to regret this the rest of your life.

The way he treated me, the things he said,

cutting off contact --

the only thing I regret is not coming out to dad sooner

and getting it over with.

Do you know how much this hurts me

that the two of you don�t talk?

I know.

I-I�m sorry.

I�ll send flowers.

I�ll send a card.

I won�t give him the chance to reject me all over again.

Okay.

But do you understand where i�m coming from?

I do, I just --

okay.

Okay, so I think I know what this is about.

The failure-to-appear warrant? The parking tickets.

Partially.

I swear I didn�t skip out on my court date.

I just completely forgot.

Where were you this morning?

What does that have to do with the warrant?

Do you know a Josie thoms?

Yeah.

You see her this morning?

Maybe.

Where�d you maybe see her?

This not about the warrant?

What happened when you saw Josie this morning?

Nothing wrong. Nothing illegal.

Rape�s illegal, or did you forget that, too?

What?

Rape?

I raped her?

So she tore your clothes off and held you down?

Whoa. Held her down?

She�s saying it was rape, and your cousin ray,

seeing you tear ass down the fire escape, supports it.

No.

Tell US what happened or you�re done, Lenny.

She invites me over! Check the phone records!

"Invites" as in this wasn�t the first time?

Once or twice a week for, like, two months.

Can anyone back you up on that?

Just check the phone records!

You�re cousins with her fianct. It could have been him calling.

Man, I didn�t rape her!

Yes, I was banging her,

and, yes, I scooted out the window when ray showed up,

but did you see that guy?

He�s a psychopathic killer!

Ray�s a killer?

He killed a cat.

When we were kids,

he threw my aunt�s cat against the wall and killed it.

I don�t want to end up like that,

and i�m sure she didn�t either, which is why she�s lying.

I swear, I didn�t rape her.

You�re going in for the warrant. Get up.

What about the rape?

You�re gonna be staying here for a while.

Just keep your mouth shut for now.

The number for Jefferson memorial hospital?

Never mind.

Hey, interview three, will you?

Sure.

John: The lieutenant had to go to 1-pp.

He wanted me to tell you

that the m. E.�s preliminary report on the d. O. A.

Was manual strangulation.

All right, thanks.

Anything other than the purse in there?

We got some comics and cds, a sandwich.

Hey, hey. Look who�s back.

John.

Good to see you, detective.

Thanks for coming in, Gibson.

I was already out and about, but next week, full duty.

What�s up?

Wanna talk in the back?

Following you.

Everything all right?

Fine, thanks.

This can�t be good.

Nothing like that.

Are you still involved in the foster program?

You got any contacts with them?

A few folks know my name. What�s it about?

We got a 15-year-old boy sexually abused by his mother.

She�s presently in an institution.

Kid�s in a youth facility.

Where he�s having a real hard time.

We�re thinking if he�s not in a decent home soon,

he�s gonna get hurt bad or lose his mind.

This is a good kid. No record.

We came across him when his best friend got murdered.

Some tough breaks.

So you know anyone who could help out?

You want me to make calls? Is that it?

Or give US the names and we�ll make the calls.

I�m getting the feeling there�s more to it than that.

What more could there be?

You know my sons were foster children.

I can�t help thinking you brought me in here

to lay on the sob story about your "good kid"

hoping i�d take him in myself.

You�re a million miles off.

Now i�m supposed to not ponder this kid all night,

not worry is he getting beat to death or losing his marbles?

That wasn�t anywhere near the intention, Gibson.

Well, it was the result, and I just don�t think I can do it.

You know, it�s not even my decision.

Mary keeps the house. She�s the mom.

I have to talk to her, and we�re not so young anymore.

For now, Eddie, how about just the names of who to call?

Yeah, okay. I�ll get them to you.

I just... I got a soft spot for kids.

�cause you�re a fine American.

Don�t butter me up.

Thanks, Eddie.

You know a wan yi kwan, Travis?

Yeah, we�re friends.

When�d you see her last?

A couple days ago.

Where? I was walking her home.

Her parents don�t remember seeing you.

I walk her till she�s a block away.

I don�t deal with her parents.

Why not?

They don�t like US hanging out.

We did not have sex.

No?

No, so if her parents or whoever are saying that we did,

well, we didn�t.

You happen to stop by the vacant lot on 15th and c?

We walked past it.

You and wan yi duck in there and not have sex?

No. I told you, we never had sex.

You and wan yi get into a fight about something?

Maybe she didn�t put out for you?

We went behind a building, and we started kissing,

and we�ve made out before.

And, you know, I put my hand down there,

and she freaked out and started crying.

And you kept her quiet by putting your hands around her neck.

No! She ran home.

We found wan yi�s body in the vacant lot this morning.

No way.

What happened, Travis?

No way!

We can help you out, but you gotta tell US the truth

about how it got out of hand.

What? How what got out of hand?

I didn�t kill wan yi! Are you crazy?!

How�d her purse get into your backpack, Travis?

I�d hold onto it for her

�cause her parents didn�t allow her wearing makeup.

You got a temper? No.

We looked at your record.

We read how you sank a pair of scissors

into a classmate last month.

What about he had a knife and he was arrested, too?

Who�d want to hurt wan yi, then?

Her family! They hated her!

Why?

She was a second daughter, and they wanted to have a son.

You can�t have three kids in China or some kind of deal,

so they shoved her off on her aunt.

And then her parents had a son,

but when they wanted to come out to the u. S.,

the Chinese government said they had to leave with all their children,

so they had to take wan yi back.

Look, they hated her.

Her sister was always telling her to run away,

how wan yi was bringing down the family,

and her parents were always beating on her ass.

Her older sister goes to St. john�s?

Yeah.

I didn�t kill wan yi.

I loved her.

Any luck finding Lenny?

Yeah, we got him in. Take a seat.

So what do you want with me?

This morning, you said you never saw Lenny socially.

You sure that�s the truth? Yeah.

You never called Lenny and asked him to come over?

Just you and him, alone?

No.

There�s some discrepancies in your story that say different.

We got sources who say you were getting together for two months.

Who said that?

I�d be more concerned with looking at a collar

for trying to send a guy to jail who didn�t do anything wrong.

There�s nothing wrong with rape?

Only if it actually happened.

What�s your relationship like with your fianct?

It�s fine.

Has he got a temper? No.

So this morning, that was the first you�ve seen of it?

He had a right to be mad.

When he gets mad, does he get dangerous?

I don�t know.

Josie, lying about the rape gave ray time to cool off

and get some distance between him and Lenny.

That worked for the time being,

but now you gotta make things right by telling the truth.

Or we�ll find somebody who saw you and Lenny together.

We�ll prove you�re lying. Don�t let it get that far.

This was nothing against Lenny.

What happened?

Lenny lost his mom two months ago,

and I was trying to be some comfort.

You were having consensual sex. Then what?

Ray came in, and he would have killed US both.

So maybe I did Lenny a favor.

He might see it differently.

Am I still getting arrested?

We�ll see.

Write what happened.

Did you kick the suspect, Lenny ganno?

He�s a collar on a failure-to-appear warrant.

And how do we feel about collaring Josie thoms?

Do it.

Her defense will say she thought her life was in danger.

Well, mention how Lenny ganno could have got shot.

And she wouldn�t have been in danger

if she hadn�t been screwing around in the first place.

This is a grown woman who knew what she was doing

and cost US at least 24 man-hours.

She�s a collar.

I�ll draw it up.

We�ll give Josie the news.

Coffee?

How have you been?

Busy.

You?

Same.

It�s not right we don�t talk even to say hello.

I guess we�re finding our way.

I know I still got some things to get past.

I admit, I could have handled the pregnancy better.

I wasn�t ready for it.

We just hadn�t been together long enough.

Maybe.

I still think about you.

I think about you, too, but we need this time.

I should get going.

I�m gonna say hello when I see you.

I�ll say hello back.

We�re very sorry about what happened to your sister.

Thank you.

So you�re a freshman at St. john�s. Yes.

But you live at home, yes.

So you were around?

I mean, you saw your sister every day?

I guess so.

You get along with your sister? Sure.

You know anybody who�d want to hurt her?

She�d hang out with trash,

and she had this stupid boyfriend, Travis.

Talk to him.

How were things around the house for your sister?

Fine. Why?

She got along with your parents?

Yes. Talk to Travis.

Clark: We�re hearing that wan yi didn�t have a happy home life.

We hear that you two didn�t get along at all.

So?

I�m just curious why you�d lie about that to begin with.

None of your business, maybe?

Dead people happens to be our business.

Okay. So maybe there were arguments.

Over what?

I don�t know. Things.

Over your parents not wanting to bring wan yi out from China?

Did you tell your sister to run away,

that you�d be better off without her?

Yes, because that was the truth. She was a stranger to US.

Now there are three children to pay for.

Wan yi needed to leave.

At 14 years old? She was ruining everything.

Did you have something to do with your sister getting killed?

No.

Do you know anybody who was involved? No.

We�re gonna find out. Talk to Travis.

We are.

Good.

Now, I have a midterm in three hours.

I have to go.

When a sibling�s murdered,

schools usually let midterms slide.

I have to go.

Then go.

Connie: Other daughter give you anything?

Something�s up with that family.

We need to talk to the dad again.

Connie: Medavoy and Jones are heading over

to talk to both employers of the dad.

The m.E. Just finished the autopsy on your d. O. A.

He found fresh scars on her back crisscrossing older ones.

Could they tell how old?

No, but she�d been getting beat for a while.

I�ll page medavoy and Jones,

fill them in before they talk to the dad.

John?

Come on.

Yes?

What�s going on? What�s the matter?

Nothing.

Your sister comes in, and since then,

you act like you�ve been poleaxed.

What happened?

Is this about your, boyfriend?

My dad.

What about him?

He�s dying.

I�m sorry to hear that, John.

I don�t know what to say. Where is he?

Here.

Have you seen him yet?

No.

You waiting till end of tour? Get over there.

I�m not going.

Why not?

We don�t talk.

I thought you had a good relationship with your dad.

I lied about that.

I just didn�t want to have to revisit the whole thing.

So you�re not close.

We haven�t spoken in five years.

Over you being gay?

Yes.

Okay, now, listen.

Me and Andy Jr., we hadn�t talked in a long time, either.

Each of US thought that the other one was dug in.

I thought he hated me because I let him down,

but as soon as I saw him -- which he took the initiative,

and I will always be so thankful that he did --

all the garbage just went away.

My father doesn�t consider me his son anymore.

I just picture him asking me to leave, having me removed.

John, you have a tendency of over-thinking things,

going worst-case scenario.

Because i�ve been hurt a lot in my life, detective.

Yeah. I know what you�re saying.

My mom and I were always close, and she always knew,

and I guess she was a buffer between US,

but after she passed,

the things he said to me...

Guys of my generation, a lot of US,

we got our views,

and that�s the way it is,

but I do know that if you were my kid

and we hadn�t talked in all that time

and I could sense my ride coming to the end,

i�d want to see you if was able to say so or not.

Excuse me, sir. I�m looking for Mr. Kwan.

Mr. Kwan?

We need to have a minute with you.

No time.

You need to make some time.

No time, and you need to go. Make me lose my job.

We have questions regarding the death of your daughter.

She gone. Nothing I can do.

Still have wife and two children to make money for.

Mr. Kwan, we�re gonna talk,

so it�s either here and you can go right back to work,

or we�re gonna take a drive.

I told the other two policemen everything already.

What kind of a relationship did you have with your daughter?

Everything fine.

You ever have to punish her? No.

Who did? No one.

Wan yi happy girl. That�s a lie, Mr. Kwan.

There were problems with wan yi at your home.

No problems.

If you�re gonna keep lying, you�re coming in with US. I have to work!

And we have to find out who killed your daughter. Or do you give a damn?

I am sad, but I don�t know how she die,

and there is nothing I can do now except keep working.

You can also start telling the truth,

�cause your daughter had marks on her back

from being beaten over a long period of time.

Did you hit her?

When she come home late or wear makeup like a whore.

When did you see her last?

Two days ago. She not come home.

We call police the next day.

We stopped by your other job.

You were an hour late to work two days ago. Where were you?

Late because I have two jobs,

and everyone needs money, and I get no sleep.

And more problems with more problems.

If there was an accident, if something went wrong...

I don�t know what happened to wan yi.

And now I have to work or we go live on the street.

Clark: All right.

I�ll let him know. We�ll see you.

Greg and Baldwin said the dad was sandbagging them.

They ask about the whip marks?

He admitted he hit her,

but they don�t have enough to bring him in.

We gotta get the mom in here.

I�ll work on getting a translator.

Detective sipowicz? Eddie Gibson.

How�s it going, Gibson?

Yeah, you made your point earlier.

All right, but at some point,

will you realize that nobody asked you to do that?

Okay, let me see if I can arrange that

and i�ll call you back.

All right, Gibson. Bye.

He wants to meet US and James for pizza later.

He said he got provisional approval from his wife to take the kid in,

but he�s gotta meet him first.

Like an audition? I don�t know.

What if they don�t get along?

What am I gonna tell James then, "tough luck. See ya around"?

Then he�s just back where he started.

More like 10 steps back.

You want me to cancel it?

Excuse me.

Hey, what�s this about Josie getting locked up?

Sit down. We�ll tell you about it.

I want to know where you get off accusing my girl of lying.

She told you that? She called you?

Josie! Take it easy, pal.

Sit down, ray.

No, i�m getting her out of here. Hey, hey!

Ragh! Aah!

Agh!

Again!

Is Rita all right?

Somebody get an ambulance down here!

Son of a bitch.

Grab him. Son of a bitch.

Man: ...An ambulance...

Tony?

Captain fraker.

Hell of a thing here.

Yeah, it was.

I heard mcdowell and Rita Ortiz got banged up.

Both are fine.

Good. Wish I could say the same for ray Morrison.

I just got back from the hospital.

He�s got 40 stitches in his head.

I guess that�s the price you pay.

Captain, we�re working a child homicide,

so is there anything I can do for you?

My guys interviewed ray Morrison before he went to surgery.

He�s saying you beat him for nothing.

He assaulted detective mcdowell before anyone made a move.

Let�s say that�s true.

Did you really need five detectives

and a fire extinguisher to bring him down?

I guess we could�ve drawn our guns and shot him.

Either way you cut it, his injuries are excessive.

Captain, did you get a good look at Morrison?

When he was being wheeled to surgery

to get his scalp put back together.

If you�d have seen him standing

6�6" carrying 300 pounds of muscle,

you wouldn�t think what we did was excessive.

Then let�s put that aside

and address him saying the attack was unprovoked

and he just came in to express concern for his fiancte.

His fiancte called him saying she�d been locked up

because we said she was lying.

This is your side of it.

That�s the girlfriend�s statement admitting it.

Mcdowell and Ortiz had a conversation with her.

Captain, I don�t know what you think we got going here

or what your beef is, but this is legit.

Only the perp will say otherwise.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

No. Looks good.

I want a 49 detailing everything that happened

on my desk first thing tomorrow.

See you around.

Introduce yourself. Tell her you�re gonna be translating.

We�re gonna be honest with you, Mrs. Kwan.

We know you didn�t want to bring wan yi with you from China.

And that caused problems here in america.

We know that she was abused for a long time.

We know this from the scars on her back.

Now, we�re gonna find who killed wan yi.

The people who help US by being honest help themselves.

Those who lie get hurt even worse.

You have a young son at home.

You have a daughter in college.

They count on you.

Don�t hurt them by lying.

Did your husband beat wan yi two days ago?

No.

Did things get out of control?

Someone in your family is lying,

and if you all try and cover up for them,

everyone will be hurt -- everyone.

What�d she say?

She killed wan yi.

What�s she saying?

You�re supposed to be translating.

Her daughter tore her family apart.

They lost their restaurant.

Everything went wrong since they brought her back.

How�d you kill her?

Hey, you�re supposed to be keeping up here.

Is that a lie to protect your husband?

"No, wan yi�s my fault."

Who buried her in the lot?

"My husband when everyone was asleep."

That�s why -- don�t translate this.

That�s why he was late for work, probably.

Was your husband home when you killed her?

"No, this is my fault.

I gave him two daughters."

"When I had wan yi,

I should have done like the others in my...Village."

What?

She wishes she would have drowned her daughter

when she had her.

So your husband or your older daughter were not involved

in punishing wan yi leading up to her death?

No.

"She brought a curse to my family.

I had to stop it."

Valerie: And she�s not covering for her husband?

No, I don�t think so. Her details were exact.

Everyone�s story fits.

But we can charge the husband with disposal of the body.

We�re inclined not to.

Because?

He�s a working stiff. He panicked, covered for his wife.

Clark: There�s two other kids that get screwed

if they lose their dad as well.

The guy�s working two jobs.

We don�t charge a man for burying his daughter

and lying about it, but we do charge a woman

for filing a false police report while fearing for her life?

Take a look at the squad.

That�s the result of her dicking US around all day.

Your call.

I stand behind both decisions.

Valerie: Fine. Good night.

Right?

Absolutely.

Andy, it�s your frog pencil holder.

Gimme that. Aww...

Burial at sea or...

A little super glue.

She�ll be fine.

She?

He�s had it for a long time.

Too long.

Hey.

Hey.

That�s your stuff?

Yeah, i�m all packed up.

Okay.

I shouldn�t have?

Come here.

I told you on the phone we�re just gonna meet the guy.

Yeah, so he�ll take me in.

We gotta see how the meeting goes before anything�s decided.

How the meeting goes?

We gotta see how you get along, and you might not like him.

Anything�s better than this.

I hear you, but there�s other considerations,

like how he feels.

You mean maybe he won�t like me, is that it?

We just gotta see how you get along.

He�s not gonna like me. Come on, James.

No, this is a bad idea. I shouldn�t go.

You gotta go.

I just don�t want your expectations too high

if it doesn�t work out.

Sign that.

Good for the night.

See you tomorrow, James.

All you gotta do is be yourself.

Everything will be fine.

I�ll just leave this.

No. We�re bringing it.

Come on.

Is he sleeping?

No, he�s up.

Did you tell him I was coming?

No.

Do you want me to come in with you?

No, i�m fine.

I�ll be right here.

John!

Dad.

How are you feeling?

Okay, considering.

It�s good to see you.

It�s good to see you, too.

This is a really good hospital. You�ll get excellent care.

Good.

For so long, dad, i�ve wanted to talk to you,

and i�m sorry it took this to bring US together again,

but it would mean so much to me

if we could put it all behind US.

I don�t want to talk about that.

If you came here to see me, fine, i�m glad you did.

But if you�re gonna push your lifestyle in my face again,

then you should turn around and leave.

I didn�t come here to make you feel bad.

Good.

Then don�t.

You�re in my prayers, dad,

and I hope you make a full recovery.

So that�s it? You�re leaving?

You can�t talk about anything else other than being gay?

It�s hard to communicate with you

if you don�t accept me for who I am.

How about you accepting me for who I am, for how I feel?

I do accept you for who you are. I always have.

But never once an apology for what you put me through,

the humiliation.

I wish the best for you, dad.

How�d it go?

I�ll call you later.

John...

Jeez, here we go.

Clark: How�s it going, everybody?

You remember my partner, Andy sipowicz?

And Eddie Gibson, James kilik.

How�s it going, kid?

Nice to meet you, sir.

Have a seat.

Yeah.

Anybody have a preference on toppings?

We ordered. Pepperoni.

Is that good for you, James?

Yeah, it�s perfect.

So, James, you like to watch football?

Yeah.

Who�s your favorite player?

...i guess I don�t watch that much.

James is a pretty devoted gamer.

Why don�t you tell him about that?

I like video games.

What, like pong?

That�s an old one. My kids had pong.

The noise drove me insane.

I can cook.

What do you like to cook?

Spaghetti...

Um, Mac and cheese...

And, ramen noodles.

All in my top 10.

Your mom didn�t cook?

No, I cooked for her.

I liked it.

Did you ever use a sandwich maker? No.

It�s like a shirt iron for a sandwich.

First, you butter your bread, lay on your ham and cheese

or Turkey, whatever your preference,

slide it in the iron, flatten it for two minutes,

and voilr, grilled ham and cheese.

I like grilled ham and cheese.

�cause you�re a fine American.

I�m pretty clean, too. I can do my own laundry.

Don�t worry about that.

My wife got the cleaning down to a science.

So...you interested in coming and staying with US?

Yeah.

Two rules -- living room�s off limits.

That�s not just for you. No one goes.

Break one of the boss�s little glass unicorns

and there�s hell to pay. Avoid it.

Okay.

Second, when you finish -- toilet seat down always.

That�s it.

Great, here we go.

All right, I gotta head out. Theo.

All right, Andy.

I�ll see you around, James?

Um, thank you for all your help.

Sure.

Gibson: Dig in.

Hey, we need some soda?

Gibson: Three sodas.
