- JOHN: Good morning, Greg. - GREG: Hi.

Attorney James Sinclair to see Detective Kelly.

- DONNA: Detective. - JOHN: Counselor, thanks for coming in.

- It's a short detour from court. Right. - JOHN: Yeah. We're in here.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

A friend of mine needs a lawyer.

Everyone's entitled to an attorney, Detective Kelly.

But they're just not entitled to me.

Would this friend be charged with homicide,

- two counts? - Yeah.

We're talking about Janice Licalsi, are we?

The deaths of Angelo Marino and his driver?

Mm-hmm. Would that be a problem for you, Marino being involved?

(CHUCKLES) Detective...

my practice has exposed me to past clients killing current clients,

current clients killing former clients,

even current clients killing other current clients.

The prospect of defending Ms. Licalsi would present an irony

falling short of an ethical dilemma.

Which means if the money were right, you'd be up for it.

That's not a small hurdle. I charge 400 dollars an hour

for prep time and depositions,

4,000 for each day of trial.

We get into the six figures pretty quickly.

Mm-hmm. Well, that's way out of my league.

(SIGHS)

- So, what would be in your league? - Twenty-five thousand.

Dip into your pension fund?

Pay on the balance once a week till the fall of the republic?

That the sort of arrangement you're envisioning?

You know what's going on here, how they came at her,

- the position they put her in. - Detective...

we would do much better if we discussed my participation in ancillary revenues.

Tabloid sales, film projects.

I would expect to recover my fees from first proceeds.

- Hmm. What if she were up for that? - Then I would think we could do business.

- She's at Rikers? - She's at Rikers.

I'll give her a call.

(DOOR OPENS)

- FANCY: How are you doing, Andy? - Hey, Lieutenant.

- (TELEPHONE RINGING) - (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Uh. Sylvia, you got a minute?

Yeah.

Uh...

- Here. - What's this?

Open it.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

It's a sea horse. Those are actually in the fish family.

Why are you giving this to me, Andy?

For a fresh start. I feel like I'm on the right track now,

and I thought maybe we could see each other again.

Have you been going to meetings?

Uh, yeah, I went to a couple of them and, uh,

I don't like bellyaching in front of strangers.

That's... that's my only reservation with that stuff.

You know, you carry your own water.

- Andy, you need tools to deal with this. - I got tools. I...

I got a hammer to smash any liquor bottles wind up in my apartment.

But you gotta deal with the reasons they got there.

Where you getting all this? These "reasons" and "tools?"

I've been going to Al-Anon meetings.

You talking to strangers about us? You tell them about my problems?

Andy, can you discuss this like an adult?

What... what are you telling them? (HESITATES)

You tell them how I embarrassed you in front of your family?

How I didn't talk to my kid for eight years?

That's not what I'm doing and the way that you're reacting now is the reason

that you still need help.

Well, I don't want you discussing my problems with strangers.

Don't do that anymore.

And don't get me gifts to act like everything is all right

when it's not.

- (SIRENS BLARING) - (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Name's John Goldman. He found the body around 7:00 this morning.

Hi, Mr. Goldman. Detective Kelly. What can you tell me about this?

Uh, I teach over at the university. I was walking my dog.

I noticed something strange sticking out of the bushes.

I came over to look, and I found this poor man.

- I ran. I called 911. - Anybody else in the park at the time?

- I expect there were some joggers. - Nobody to talk to?

- Nobody in the immediate vicinity? - No.

It looks as though he were dragged from here over to there.

Yeah, it does. Do we have a phone number and an address on you?

- I gave it to the uniformed police. - Okay. Well, thanks for your help.

- Thanks for your cooperation. - Yeah.

I feel so sorry about all this.

- Yeah. Thanks. - Hmm.

Cop found this over by the trash there.

It's a... No money, no credit cards, but there's a church ID here.

Father Thomas Sheridan. He's a priest at the St. Agnes.

(CLEARS THROAT) Anything other than stab wounds?

Uh, nothing on the initial exam.

I'm gonna take a peekaboo into the good father's orifices for semen

when I get him to the morgue.

Do wet swabs and stuff.

Okay, get them to me as quick as possible, all right?

Yeah, right. ASAP.

- ASAP, you prick. - (DOG BARKING)

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - (TELEPHONE RINGING)

- DONNA: Somebody will be right with you. - PRIEST: Thank you.

JOHN: Hi. How are you?

FANCY: You wanna run this thing in the park for me, John?

Robbery-homicide. Victim was a parish priest at St. Agnes.

Multiple stab wounds, and his pants were down around his ankles,

so ME's checking into the sexual angle.

We're going back to the park to talk to the rent boys, see what they say.

And a truckload of reporters chewing on Licalsi.

- They can make a little snack out of this. - Yeah.

Uh, excuse me, John. The monsignor's here.

Okay, I got that interview.

Yeah, uh, there's an auction over at the pier for cars.

I'm supposed to meet my son there.

- Then I'll take Martinez for the recanvas. - Yeah, and go ahead.

Put in a 28 before you leave.

- ANDY: Thanks, Lieu. - Uh, you talkin' to Bucci, huh?

Yeah. He's been looking at cars all day.

Listen, I'll, uh, I'll be back in a couple of hours.

- Say hello to Andy J. for me. - Yeah.

- Monsignor, Detective John Kelly. - Oh, hello.

Come on in. Can I get you something to drink?

Um, soft drink. Diet. I'm diabetic.

- JOHN: Donna? - Sure.

What can you tell me about Father Sheridan?

Well, I didn't know Father Sheridan as well as I might have.

Uh, he'd been at the church about five months,

and my health hadn't been what I'd liked during that time.

He was very popular, I can tell you that.

- He, uh, put in a lot of hard work... - DONNA: Here you go.

- ...with the younger persons. - Thank you.

You're aware of the condition we found him in?

Detective, let me just say that no one at the church

had any reason to suspect anything untoward in Father Sheridan's conduct.

None whatsoever.

Do you believe there was a sexual element in this?

How about personal effects? Was he wearing any jewelry?

Uh, Knights of Columbus Ring he wore on his right hand,

a gold St. Christopher's necklace, oh, and his crucifix, of course.

- Okay. How about credit cards? - MONSIGNOR: I believe so.

I believe I verified some information on an application, yeah.

Hmm. Okay, we'll look for those.

I think that's it.

I would be very grateful if you'd, uh, keep me apprised

of any developments, you know,

- turns the case may take. - I'll do that.

- Thanks for your help. - Thank you.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(DOOR BUZZING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

JAMES: I'm James Sinclair, Miss Licalsi.

- John Kelly told you I'd be coming? - Yeah.

I'm not sure I want you representing me, Mr. Sinclair.

(CHUCKLES) That is entry-level perception, Miss Licalsi.

Once the doors of a courtroom close,

reputations quickly subordinate to the quality of the practitioner.

Your friend John Kelly understands that.

Yeah, well, I'm not looking to get away with anything.

That's not why I admitted to killing two men.

I'm ready to pay for what I did.

- JAMES: May I call you Janice? - Okay.

What would you say is the proper penalty for your crime?

- I don't know. - Had you decided to kill Angelo Marino

and his driver before you got into the car that night?

No. I didn't know what I was gonna do.

By that account, you're wrongly charged. You hadn't conceived intention.

When you stepped into the car, were you afraid for your life?

For your father's life or Detective Kelly's life?

I knew that if I didn't kill John, they'd find another way,

and... (CHUCKLES) ...that I'd be a liability.

- JAMES: Meaning they'd kill you. - Yeah.

- Then and there. - LICALSI: I was afraid and confused.

I didn't know if I thought they'd kill me right then and there.

- JAMES: You only know what you did. - And I confessed to it.

Then let 12 honest people judge you, Janice.

Don't do all the parts yourself.

You've submitted to a system. Let it work its course.

- LICALSI: And you'll steer me through it. - I'll steer if you'll let me.

Is there any special reason for you to be in jail right now?

It's where I'm ending up. I thought I might as well get used to it.

We're all gonna die. That doesn't mean we have to camp out in graveyards.

I know you're aware

that John Kelly is willing to help you make bail.

I think you should let him do that.

Janice, let me steer.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Thanks a lot, Jim.

Hey! Dad, how's it going?

Okay. How about you?

Good, uh.

- Mom says "Hi." - Tell her "Hi" back.

Listen, uh, Andy, this Mr. Bucci we're meeting's a car dealer.

I met him through work.

That's nice of him to take the time like this.

Two and a half years back, he sent his daughter over to the bank

with a cash deposit.

Somebody grabbed her, and I caught the case.

So you found his daughter, and he's like grateful and that?

No. We never found his daughter.

Ah, that's too bad.

That's all still pretty painful to Mr. Bucci.

Yeah. I... I won't say anything about it.

- Mr. Bucci. - Ah, Detective.

- ANDY: Yeah, how are you? - Good to see ya.

- This is my son, Andy. - Hey, nice to meet you, Andy.

How you doing? Thanks for helping us out here.

Ah, it's my pleasure. I thought this one was a possibility,

but it looks like it's burning more oil than gas.

- I... I only got 1,200 to spend. - Maybe a little more.

Yeah, well, come on. Let me show you the one that I really think is cherry.

This one is great. It's an '85 Seville.

I mean, the engine's sweet enough. No bondo on the body.

If it's been in a wreck, believe me, they did right by the frame.

The rubber's fine. I gave it the twice over.

- They'll... they'll let you get in? - Sure, sure.

Come on. Just get right in there. See how you feel.

So, Dom, what do you think this'll go for?

Well, I asked the, uh, the other dealers to lay off. Personal favor.

If we got no civilian driving up the price,

ten, 15 percent below wholesale. About 2,300. How's that? In your budget?

Twenty-three? I guess that's doable, yeah.

Excuse me a minute. I just see a dealer I haven't squared it with.

- I gotta have a word with him. - Yeah.

- So what do you think? - MALE VOICE: It's great.

DOM: Hey, Steve.

Steve, Dom. Dom Bucci.

- Sure, I remember. - DOM: How are you? It's been a while.

Just looking at this car. I'll see you at the auction.

- What does Mr. Bucci think it'll sell for? - DOM: You take it easy.

- MALE VOICE: Dad? - Yeah?

What does, uh, Mr. Bucci think on the price?

Ah, he thinks we got a shot at it. We'll see.

Mr. Bucci, I really like the car.

- DOM: It's really sweet, isn't it? - Yeah.

DOM: So, what do you say we take a walk around?

I'll show you some of the backup ones. I, uh...

There was an '88 Baretta Sedan over here. And there's the '87 Audi.

- I... I really like the American cars. - (CHUCKLES)

So, Dom, um, who's this guy you said hello to?

Oh, that's Steve White. He's a buyer. Used to work for me on and off.

He'd do auctions when I couldn't make it. Hmm. He had a good eye.

I could always move his stuff.

So when's the last time this white guy worked for you?

Oh.

After Jenny disappeared, I sort of let the business slip, you know? I...

- He drifted off. - We never interviewed him.

Yeah, well, like I say, he was an independent.

He probably wasn't around when you were doing interviews.

He still in the business?

Yeah. He's got a small lot over in Queens.

He sells strictly transportation, so he's not gonna be in on the Caddy,

if that's what you're worrying about.

Hey, Andy! There's a roach coach over there. You wanna grab a bite?

We got some time before they cry this stuff.

- Yeah, that'd be great. - Uh, listen, Dom,

I'll... I'll meet you guys over there. I, uh,

I gotta call the office and check in.

Andy, why don't you get me a hot dog and a Coke.

- Mustard and relish? - Yeah. Still mustard and relish.

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - (OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

MARTINEZ: Hey! Hey!

- Could you give me a minute? - I don't know anything, man.

This is about the incident in the park last night.

I... I know what it's about, all right. I already told you.

MARTINEZ: You hear any conversation about it?

Just that it happened, and the way they found the body.

All right?

Does that surprise you, how he was found?

I don't get surprised too easily, man, you know?

There's some money in it for you if you, uh, heard any information.

(CAR HORN HONKING)

- What's your name? - Joey.

You know there was a murder in the park last night?

- Yeah, I heard about it. - This is the guy who got killed.

Yeah, that's Father Sheridan.

- You know him? - Just to talk to him.

- He talked to a lot of the kids. - What'd you guys talk about?

You know, what you were doing here,

and have you thought everything through, so forth.

- Health concerns. - Nice guy?

He was okay.

Was he a trick?

I wouldn't say. He was down here a lot.

- Did you ever trick for him? - No, I never did.

Okay.

You know, anything that can help me that you can think of is worth money.

- You know that, right? Okay? - Yeah, okay. Okay.

- MARTINEZ: Hey, John. - What do you know, James?

Well, kids all said they saw him around, but nobody saw him in the park last night.

What'd they think of him?

You know, they said he seemed a pretty nice guy.

They weren't exactly sure what he was doing down here.

How he was found, you hate to think what might have been going on.

Yeah. Look at this.

Mr. Goldman.

- MARTINEZ: Who's this guy? - JOHN: He's the guy ID'd the body.

- Any progress, Detective? - Ah, we're still asking questions.

- You think of anything? - No. What do you mean?

MARTINEZ: Hey, John.

- Excuse me. One minute. - GOLDMAN: What's going on?

- JOHN: What do you got? - OFFICER: This kid was trying to buy booze

with those credit cards you're interested in.

Store owner gets a "No" on the card. The kid books with the booze.

Owner chases after him. We catch him coming down the street.

All right, take him back to the squad and I'll talk to him later.

- Good job. Good job. - You got it.

Who's the person in custody?

- You know him? - No.

- (POLICE SIREN BEEPS) - You teaching today, Mr. Goldman?

I have a class in about one hour.

- Yeah, okay, you got my number, right? - Yup

You give me a call if you got anything for me, will you?

- All right. - Thanks.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - (TELEPHONE RINGING)

- Your guy's in interview one. - Okay.

Ah, here's his rap sheet and a printout of activity on the priest's credit card.

- What about the ME? - Ah, nothing yet.

Um, Lieutenant's going with his wife to the doctor's.

- He said keep him posted. - Okay, thanks.

James, if I start liking this guy for murder,

- I might make the priest the bad guy. - Okay.

You being a Catholic, how do you feel about that?

- No problem. Yeah. - All right?

(JOHN CLEARS THROAT)

- Want some coffee? - No.

"William T. Martin.

"Decatur, Illinois."

- What do they call you? - Billy.

- When did you leave Decatur? - Two and a half years ago.

Three calls for prostitution before the incident this morning.

You got a straight job?

I set up sound equipment for some of the clubs.

Puts some food on the table while you're working the park, huh?

I don't know why you guys are hassling me, man.

I found those credit cards.

- Were you in the park last night? - I found them this morning.

- Were you in the park last night? - No.

Do you know Richard Sheridan?

- They were his cards. - No.

Okay. He was a priest.

You were popped twice in the park where, all the kids we talked to,

said he hung out all the time, but you didn't know him.

Maybe I seen him.

He was killed in the park last night.

You ended up with his credit cards this morning.

- Yeah, that's right. - (SIRENS BLARING)

- Decatur, Illinois. - Yeah.

Okay. Well, we got a fax on his receipts from the card.

It says that there was a bus ticket charged to the card

five days ago to Decatur.

Is that a coincidence?

Okay, I mean, I can't lie to you. This is not a good situation.

You were hustling the park where he wound up dead.

Then you wind up with his credit cards in your back pocket the next day.

So, I mean that's not a good situation. But what was the relationship?

Were you friends? Did he let you use the cards?

What was the relationship?

- It wasn't friends. - What was it?

- Look, I was raised a Catholic, all right? - Me too, Billy.

All right.

The man was a priest.

I mean, spell this out for me. That's all I'm asking.

He came on to me, all right? It made me sick.

JOHN: He wanted to have sex with you?

Yeah, he was coming on and on, and I wouldn't do it.

- Not with the priests. - JOHN: Where are we now? In the park?

Huh? Last night?

Okay. Billy, I mean, if he as coming on to you,

and based on your religious background,

you didn't want to do it, I can understand that.

I can understand that.

But I still don't get the relationship. Now, you were working the park...

He was coming on, and he wouldn't leave me alone.

I told him he better, but he wouldn't keep his hands off me.

- Last night. Last night. - So finally, I cut him.

- Last night. - In the park.

I don't want to talk about it anymore, all right?

Okay. Okay.

Uh...

- We're gonna take a break, James, okay? - Okay.

- JOHN: Let's take a break. - MARTINEZ: Come on.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(DOOR CLOSES)

- Hey. - Hey!

- So, uh, you're pretty busy, huh? - Yeah, hectic.

- Did you order? - Yeah, some sandwiches.

You, uh, you said you didn't have very much time,

- so I, uh... - Yeah, I, uh, just caught a case.

I don't know whether I'm in the middle or the end of it.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

So, uh, how are things going on Janice Licalsi's case?

Well, she has an attorney, so hopefully she's gonna defend herself

a little better now.

Jimmy's lawyer might have me committed.

- JOHN: What'd you do now? - WAITER: Here's your sandwich.

Thank you. I, uh...

- WAITER: And you, sir. - Thank you.

I went to talk to him about converting one of Jimmy's apartment buildings

into low-income housing.

Mr. Gould heard me out, but, uh,

towards the end he started having a facial spasm,

- you know, just on one side. - Mm-hmm.

He said that if he let me convert that building,

Jimmy's spirit would have him clipped on the head

by a flying manhole cover or something.

Well, Jimmy always did have a long reach.

Yeah. So, anyway,

I thought... I thought I might take some real estate courses

and try and come up with something a little bit more feasible.

Actually, uh, actually I'd like to take a bunch of different courses.

You know, I, um, I've never been to college,

and it's something I'd really like to do.

I'd like to study anthropology, different ways people live and...

- Think I could do that? - Yeah, I do.

Yeah? I do too. (CHUCKLES)

- You sure you don't mind dropping me off? - No, it's no problem.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Thanks for your vote about school and all, Johnny.

Yeah, well, I think it's a good idea.

Yeah, well, it really helps me, talking to you.

- This thing is just not... - Is that damn thing not working again?

- Yeah. - Hold on, wait a minute. Let me just...

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

- Oh, where'd that come from? - I don't know.

- I'm a little surprised, I gotta say. - Me too.

- Uh... - You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I've been kissed before.

- You, uh... want to give me a ride? - Yeah. Let me get this.

(CAR ENGINE STARTING)

Registration was in his name, huh?

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - Okay. Give me the date on the transfer.

- AUCTIONEER: We have lot 458. - Yeah.

A 1983 Buick.

A gray, beautiful Buick. What do I have for this Buick?

- MALE VOICE: One thousand. - AUCTIONEER: One thousand. Very good, sir.

Yeah, nah, wait. Just a second, will you?

Hey, pal, how many times are you gonna come back here, huh?

I'll be done when I'm done, all right?

- I'll be done when I'm done, you hear me? - MALE VOICE: All right.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Yeah... I'm sorry, all right? It's some pain in the ass here.

All right, listen, tell your DMV guy "thanks."

Now I want you to run a BCI check on this guy.

Twenty-five hundred going twice. Sold to Mr. Alfabia for two and a half.

That's the second time this vehicle has been stolen.

Eleven hundred from the gentleman in the back. Thank you very much.

- I have 1100. - Fifteen hundred.

AUCTIONEER: Fifteen for the man in the jacket.

- Oh, I'm done. - ANDY: No, wait, wait, wait, wait.

AUCTIONEER: Do I hear 2,000?

- Do I hear 2,000? - Mr. Bucci, it's out of money my budget.

- I don't know how high my dad can cover. - We'll take care of that.

- It's okay. - Gentleman, do I have a higher bid

than 1,500 for this beautiful Cadillac?

- Ladies and gentlemen, do I hear 2,000? - Go ahead or we're gonna lose it.

- Sixteen-hundred. - Two-thousand.

- AUCTIONEER: Oh, I have 2,000. - I mean, this guy's in forever.

- No. You can go up to 2,300. You stay in. - (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I already talked to your father. We decided that was fair.

I have 2,000. I have 2,000. Do I have three?

Two thousand going once. 2000 going twice.

- Go on. Tell him. Tell him. - You have 2,300.

- AUCTIONEER: Twenty-three hundred... - You didn't have to get there all at once.

...from the young man in the background. Thank you very much.

I have 2,300 for this Cadillac.

Do I hear three? Do I hear three, ladies and gentlemen?

- Mr. Bucci said 2,300 was okay. - AUCTIONEER: I do not hear three...

- Twenty-three hundred. - AUCTIONEER: Twenty-three hundred

going once. Twenty-three hundred going twice

and sold to the gentleman for 2,300.

- There you go, see the cashier... - Go on. Get the ticket.

...on the way out, I'm sure you'll enjoy this car.

- Thanks. - All right, ladies and gentlemen.

Next up we have lot 460, a 1988 Passat.

I... I... I can pay you what I got, the... the 1,200.

I don't know when I can pay that off.

This is my deal. You said they'd take my check?

Yeah, that's right. Andy, take that. Here, take my card.

Give it to the cashier. That way it's under my bond. All right?

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

- I gotta talk to this Mr. White. - DOM: About what?

I never got a chance to question him about Jennifer.

- I wanna question him about that. - Are there some thoughts here?

I wanna talk to him, Dom, all right? Mr. White.

New York City detective. I want to talk to you a minute.

- What's this about? - Well,

uh, I thought maybe we could step into the guards' trailer there.

- Uh, look, uh, I got some plans today. - ANDY: Yeah, well,

I'd advise you to assist me voluntarily. Help me clear up a few questions,

and then maybe we can all go our separate ways, all right?

Come on. Let's go.

Come on.

Detective, is this a question of thoroughness?

ANDY: Dom, will you just let me do my job, all right?

- Did you pay for the car? - MALE VOICE: Yeah.

All right. This might take a while.

- MALE VOICE: Dad, what's going on? - Just hold on.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

- You want to see me, Jerry? - JERRY: Yeah, can... can we talk?

- No, I'm working in here. - Look, John, I used my best judgment

advising Janice about what I thought was in her own heart.

- Haven't we covered this already? - (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Yeah, well, I'm here about Father Sheridan.

- I'm taking a statement on him now. - You got a suspect?

What's up?

Richie Sheridan and I went to seminary together,

and we stayed friends.

Now, I heard how his body was found.

and I don't believe he was a homosexual or a pedophile.

There's something wrong with that picture.

Okay.

He was committed to his work. He respected other people,

and he wouldn't violate his trust like that.

I know I don't have a lot of credibility with you, John,

but I'm telling you, he was a good priest.

- See you later. - Yeah.

Hey, Janice, how're you doing?

Well, John helped me post bond, so it'll save you trips to Rikers, huh?

Nah, those were no trouble.

Uh, if you wanna call me later, I'll be happy to talk to you.

- Okay. - Bye-bye.

I'll see you, Jerry.

- How're you doing? - (CLEARS THROAT) Oh, I just came by

- to clean out my locker. Um... - Yeah.

...I got some pictures of my dad.

I, uh, I appreciate all your help, Johnny.

No problem.

Sinclair's an interesting guy. I don't think we're gonna be best pals.

That's not why we got hooked up with him though, you know, right?

Okay. I got a perpetrator inside. I'll talk to you later.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

- How're you doing? - JOHN: This kid finish his statement yet?

I'm gonna indict him for manslaughter and look for a plea.

JOHN: He gets manslaughter, she gets second degree murder?

Detective, the victim bought a bus ticket for Billy Martin

on his credit card five days ago.

If we go to trial and that kid's attorney has a functioning cerebellum,

he's gonna attack robbery as a predicate motive,

which leaves us with a teenager warding off the advances

of a sexually predatory priest.

You'll excuse me if I'm not panting to get to the plate.

Uh, the ME called on Father Sheridan's autopsy.

There's no evidence of sexual activity.

Which would support the kid's version that he rejected the guy's approach.

Or no approach at all. Let's put a hold on grand jury while I recanvas, okay?

Fine. But right now we're at manslaughter.

- JOHN: Okay, Any word from Andy? - Yeah. I've been on the phone

off and on with him for the last couple of hours.

He's... he's had me doing, uh, car registrations.

He's trying to pick out something for Andy J.

Ah, no, he... he said it was about the Bucci case.

Uh, he... he said he might have something on that missing girl.

- Really? - Yeah. Hey, how's it going, Lieutenant?

FANCY: Uh, the doctor said Lillian and the baby are both doing well.

Yeah, that's great.

He also said we're gonna have a little boy.

- Hey, congratulations. - FANCY: Yeah.

Yeah, they did this ultrasound. They said they could tell.

- (TELEPHONE RINGING) - Wow.

- My wife and I are gonna have a boy. - Congratulations, Lieutenant.

- All right. - Looks like a little space traveler.

There's his little thing.

(CHUCKLES)

I just don't know what this is all getting at.

I feel deeply for Mr. Bucci.

It's a terrible thing that happened, but I don't know anything about it.

- You knew his little girl. - I'd be on his lot

two, three times a week, and she'd come by after school.

I'd say hello to her. Everybody knew that little girl. He was so proud of her.

You didn't want to talk to Mr. Bucci today, did you?

- STEVE: That isn't so. - Don't you lie to me. I saw you.

I said hello. I like him.

- ANDY: You like Dom Bucci? - Yeah, that's right. I like him.

You should, because he was your friend.

He gave you work. He respected you.

He treated you fair. And I know he did this,

because that's who that man is.

When Mr. Bucci's daughter disappeared, four different people said

that they saw a tan and white Chevy van.

You transferred title on a 1990 tan and white Chevy van a week after

that girl's disappearance.

Ah, there must be a thousand vans like that. Ten thousand.

On the date, at the time, your van was spotted.

Now, you listen to me.

The last two and a half years have been agony

for Mr. Bucci and his wife. Now, these are religious people.

Mrs. Bucci believes that her daughter's soul may be wandering,

lost over the face of this earth

because she hasn't received the right burial.

You have it in your power to stop the pain for them.

Don't make them suffer any longer. You tell me where you put her.

Ah, look, I've had enough of this.

I've tried to cooperate, but I don't like the tone of this.

What are you, psycho?

I know you're involved in this. I can feel it coming off of you.

- And I'm gonna put this all together. - Well, you're wrong about this.

You're not gonna get out of this. I'm not gonna let you leave.

Where is that little girl buried?

My sister...

her husband and daughter died in a car accident three years back.

I was gonna have to have her in an institution, Detective.

My only sister! My kid sister!

I couldn't watch!

She didn't wash! There was garbage piled up all around the house!

- I... She wouldn't turn on the lights. - Where's her body?

No, we told her that her parents were killed by gang criminals.

By gang criminals.

Yeah, we thought that would be the kindest thing.

And that she would be safe with Polly, you know, with a new identity.

So, that's what we made her think. She thinks her parents have been killed.

Are you saying she's alive?

I saw her two months ago. I had a fight with Polly.

She was starting to act weird again.

I haven't talked to her since.

But Jenny was okay when you last saw her?

If anything happened there, Detective,

I'd feel terrible.

But it's not my fault.

- Tell Dom I'm sorry. - Oh, yeah.

I'll make a massive point of that, you prick.

(SIRENS BLARING)

- (HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING) - (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- You and I gotta take a ride, Dom. - Did he know something about Jenny?

There's a guy cuffed to the heater inside for transport to the 15th Squad.

He's charged with kidnapping. He gets no calls

until I contact the squad.

- Got it? - He took Jenny?

No, no, no. Dominic, listen to me. Listen to me. Jenny may be alive.

Now, you come with me, and I'll tell you all about it in the car.

Come on. Come on with me now. Come on, Dom.

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - (TELEPHONE RINGING)

Professor Goldman, thanks for coming in.

- Is there a development in the case? - JOHN: Yeah, there is.

Let's sit down.

Now, since the last time we talked,

I've been over some stop and frisk reports.

You know what they are?

- I'm not sure. - Well, cops file those

when they question somebody and they haven't arrested them.

Okay? Now, I found your name on two separate reports

for loitering to solicit sex in the park.

- I found that body this morning. - I know.

I'm the one who called it in.

I was wondering if you witnessed the incident last night in the park,

but waited till this morning to report it.

No, I did not.

I have a DA upstairs working on a plea package

for this murder right now based on the perp's account.

- You made an arrest? - Yeah.

Is it that boy I saw in the car?

If you were a witness, I understand your reluctance to come forward,

but I need to know what you saw.

If your account matches his account,

then there's no reason your name needs to come out.

But if it doesn't...

and you have to use my name...

then all I'm doing is announcing myself as a queer...

and all I'm jeopardizing is my occupation...

and my reputation...

and my life.

But I think you want to help us, which is why you came forward.

And you know what? It's the right thing to do.

Somebody has to represent the dead here.

Professor...

isn't that why you're here?

- (SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING) - (SOBS)

Okay. All right.

(DOOR OPENS)

JOHN: I just got a different version on what happened last night, Billy.

BILLY: You said I was gonna get dinner.

In this version, the priest doesn't solicit Billy.

He attempts to give him a bus ticket, and Billy cuts him,

drags him into some bushes where he's bleeding,

pulls his pants down and leaves him there to die.

In this version, Billy, a regular john at the park

who's planning to solicit you, sees you do this.

The priest didn't want to help me, man. He didn't really want me to go home.

That's what he was talking about, man. He was trying to give you that bus ticket.

Nah, he was just cruising me with that ticket, man.

Just to keep talking to me. He couldn't say what he really wanted.

- He was trying to help you, Billy. - BILLY: (SOBS) No.

- And you just killed your best friend. - No, because no one can help me!

'Cause I'm HIV positive, man.

(SOBBING)

God isn't gonna help me.

- (THEME MUSIC PLAYING) - (SNIFFLES)

DOM: And you're gonna let me know.

ANDY: I'm gonna let you know as soon as I know something.

We're gonna go in the residence.

When the time is right, I'll come out and get you.

You're gonna let me know if she's all right.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

DOM: And if I'm fortunate enough and she's okay,

I'm gonna go slow with her, just like you were talking about.

- Just take it one step at a time. - Right, like I said, good luck inside.

Stay with him. Now! Now! Now! In the back!

- OFFICER: Come with me. - ANDY: I got it!

Go! Go! Get inside!

Jennifer! Jennifer! Jennifer!

DOM: Where is she?

Where is she? Where... where's my daughter?

- (CAR ENGINE STARTING) - (POLICE SIREN BLARING)

- Hello, Jenny. - Hi, Daddy.

Are you all right?

- (POLICE RADIO CHATTER) - (SNIFFS)

- JENNY: She said you were dead. - Oh, no, no.

We're... we're not dead.

They lied to you. They kidnapped you, and they lied to you.

Your mommy and I, we looked for you the whole time you were gone.

Would you like to come with me now, come home and see mom?

- I wanna see mommy. - Yeah, well, we...

we can call mom right now and... and let her know that you're okay,

and she'll come and pick us up, huh?

Would you like to hold my hand?

(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Detective. - (DOOR CLOSES)

- Hey, Jerry. Hey. - JERRY: Yeah, I got your message.

Yeah, we got the kid inside who did the murder.

He's giving his revised statement and we're not gonna let the papers have

- the sexual overture thing. - Ah, great.

(SIRENS BLARING)

You know, John, I'm gonna feel like hell if we're not friends anymore.

Yeah. I don't know, man, I'm just struggling

with her giving herself up.

You know, she did what she wanted to do.

You can't live other people's lives for them...

which is why you sent her to me in the first place,

you know, to find out what was in her own heart and all.

- Can we agree to disagree? - Yeah, I think so.

Okay.

All right, Mr. Bucci was up here...

- FANCY: Way to go, Andy. - Thanks.

- MEDAVOY: I'd love to have seen his face. - What did the mother say?

I didn't see her.

- Well, you know she's gonna be happy. - ANDY: Yeah.

Thanks, guys.

JOHN: Good catch.

Yeah, well, I'd rather be lucky than good.

How about being both?

Great job.

- Thanks. - Uh, you want some coffee or something?

- I'll take a donut. - One donut.

No, it's not good enough.

All right. I'll have to talk to you later about this. All right, bye.

MALE VOICE: Listen, I'll see you later, Greg.

- Okay, Sylvia? - GREG: Yeah, see you tomorrow.

Congratulations on the Bucci girl.

- Yeah. - That's... that's great.

- Yeah, it was good. - Yeah, yeah.

Listen, Sylvia, um, about that, uh, that sea horse pin.

The place I got it, they got, like a... a return policy,

and, uh, you gotta have like three copies of the receipt, and I don't have any.

If you don't take this thing, I'm gonna have to wear it.

Now, is that something you want to see?

Just put it away.

Yeah. Maybe... maybe you'd take it later, huh?

I think I'll go to a few more of those meetings anyways.

Well, don't do it for me. Don't do it for us.

Boy, you're pretty strict.

But I'm pulling for you.

There's my kid. We got him a car today.

- Good night, Andy. - ANDY: Yeah.

Good night.

- SYLVIA: Hi, Andy. - Hi.

- Way to go, Dad. - Ah, that was good luck.

You could work the job five lives, double shifts,

something like that never happens for you.

They give you a decoration?

I could use first-grade pay, they want to give me that.

- How's the car? - MALE VOICE: Good. It's good.

You, uh... you want to get a sandwich?

- I'm driving. - ANDY: How about a steak?

- Didn't you tap out on that Caddy? - Excuse me. I'm sorry.

Uh, I got a few dollars left. Come on, son.

(CHUCKLING)

(SIRENS BLARING)

- Good night. - Good night, Donna.

- Johnny? - Hey.

- How you doing? - I'm okay.

I've been thinking about what happened in the car.

- Me too. - I just wanted to tell you, I...

- I don't feel guilty about... about it. - JOHN: Well, I kissed you, Robin.

- (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING) - Um...

Jimmy told me you... you gotta do what you can when you're alive and...

he told me never kid yourself.

So, not kidding myself, I'm glad you kissed me.

Me too.

Okay, I... I said what I wanted to say.

Yeah, okay. I, uh...

You know what? I... I just have a few minutes here.

You wanna go somewhere and talk about it?

- FANCY: Good night, John. - JOHN: Good night, Lieutenant.

- Good night. - Good night.

- What do you think? - I'd like that.

- Okay. - Okay.

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

You okay?

I'm fine.

How about you?

I'm good.

- Here comes spring. - Yeah.

Now's the best time in this city.

I'm really glad I'm with you, Johnny.

Me too.

Me too.
