SAXE: The witness picked out
a photograph of Tommy Egan.

And we already have
a tracker on his car.

We could just turn it on.

ANGELA: I'm conducting
an investigation.

It's not that I won't answer

It's that I can't.

ANGELA: Her investigation's
gone too far. Shut it down.

We'd like your assistance
in gathering all the files

associated with
the Raymond Jones murder.

Do you think Egan
suspects anything?

He thinks that I wanna get
close to the son I never knew.

PROCTOR: Him getting out
looks legit.

TOMMY: So he ain't
a snitch or nothing?

Not as far as I could see.

Tommy won't turn
on the Italians.

shut the door on him.

Your dad and I,
we didn't want you to know

I think we're very close

to finding the man
who killed your daughter.

That's great.

- Praise the Lord.
- Yeah.

LEARY: However, there is
something we need to do first.

It should've been done earlier.

It was an error on our part.

We're gonna need you
to surrender

your registered firearm

This way we can
cross-check that

against our ballistics report,

and eliminate it
from the investigation.

I'll take that.
Thank you.

I'm sorry,
but that gun was stolen.

I reported it with the NYPD

as soon as I discovered
it was missing.

Let's make sure.
Standard procedure.

- Call it in.
- Yes, sir.

You brought a seizure warrant
for a routine evidence check

against the victim's family?

I'm sorry, who are you?

Terry Silver.
I'm her lawyer.

LEARY: Okay, as I said,
this is standard procedure.

No need to bring

Oh, Mr. Silver, please,
