- JOHN: Hey. - Hi, Johnny.

Come on in.

I squared the block twice. Nobody followed me.

Come in. Sit down.

- What's up? - (SIGHS)

I'm worried about you testifying tomorrow.

- It's gonna go okay. - How can it go okay?

If you open your mouth, you're gonna have to lie,

- and then they'll come after you. - Janice, I'm gonna take care of myself.

You talk to Sinclair?

Yeah. He... he likes the jury. He thinks the first two days went okay.

Hmm.

He give any reason why this Gina Zarone is going to testify?

He thinks it's about Marino's ledger.

Johnny, I did what I did,

- and I'm ready to go away for it. - (SIGHS) That's not right.

If you were not a cop, this would not be happening.

The D.A. would let you plead.

But I wouldn't be able to live with myself if it brings you down, too.

Come here.

Come here.

Now, listen to me, okay?

We are gonna get through this. Did you hear me?

I love you.

I'm always gonna love you.

(MOANS)

(WHISPERS INDISTINCT)

No.

No. We're making this...

right? We don't need to confuse this now.

- I'm not gonna say I'm sorry. - I don't want you to say you're sorry.

I think you should go. We don't want to confuse this.

- Am I right? Okay. - Mm-hmm.

(SIGHS)

I will see you tomorrow in court, right?

See you tomorrow.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Detective Kelly, you were the original investigating officer

in the shooting deaths of Angelo Marino and his bodyguard Anthony Capello?

- That's right. - According to her statement,

you also had a personal involvement with Janice Licalsi,

who has confessed to committing those murders.

You were sleeping with her before and after the shootings.

Detective, is it your testimony that despite this intimate relationship,

you never suspected Miss Licalsi might have committed

- these crimes? - That's right.

LAWYER: Detective, I now call your attention to a murder

that occurred two months after the Marino shooting.

You were also the investigating officer

in the death of Thomas Linardi. Isn't that correct?

I was one of the investigating officers.

Did there come into your possession in the course of that investigation

a ledger which had belonged to Angelo Marino,

and which listed officers in the police department

who'd been on Marino's payroll?

I collected the ledger at the Linardi crime scene.

Does Janice Licalsi's name appear in this document?

No.

The account book lists police officers

who were on Marino's payroll.

By her own admission, Janice Licalsi was working

for Angelo Marino, yet her name does not appear.

JOHN: What's your question?

The intelligence division of the police department

believes pages have been torn from the Marino ledger.

Do you have any idea how that could've happened?

No.

For how many days was the ledger in your personal custody?

Two days.

No foundation that the pages were removed during that time frame, Your Honor.

He didn't make that allegation.

LAWYER: I'll put it more directly, Detective.

Did there come a point during the Linardi investigation

at which you discovered Miss Licalsi's complicity

- in the Marino murders? - No.

Did you not confront her with your discovery?

- JOHN: No. - LAWYER: Out of love or loyalty,

did you not suppress evidence so that she could come forward as a martyr

to conscience and put herself in a better light?

I did not suppress any evidence

and I had nothing to do with her coming forward.

I wanna recall Detective Kelly following testimony

from a subsequent witness, Your Honor.

Nothing more from it at this time.

She came forward on her own.

- Stand down. - You're to be available for recall.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Do you know when you'll be back?

I'm going to the firing range. As long as it takes to qualify.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Are you sure I can't get you anything? - No, thank you.

Here's the detective.

ANDY: How you doing, Mrs. Carlin?

- Andy. - Yeah, I know.

I'd like to get my husband released.

Uh, here. Come here, step over to my desk.

Well, he's missing work, and I'd like you to get him out.

(SIGHS)

The charge can't be dropped till the hearing tomorrow.

Well, I'm not gonna press the charges at court,

and he's in jail, and he's getting really angry.

Mrs. Carlin, come here, I wanna show you something.

- What? - Come here with me.

Anybody?

Come on in here.

Come here.

- (SIGHS) Take off your glasses. - Why?

Just... just take 'em off.

Here.

Take a look at yourself.

You can just about see you under those bruises.

(SIGHS)

He'll learn this time.

This time he went to jail.

You're kidding yourself.

If you don't follow this complaint out, your husband's not gonna learn anything.

He's going to get released from Riker's.

He's going to blame you for the two days he spent inside,

and probably give you the worst beating you ever had.

Did you call any of those numbers I gave you?

I can't move out.

He pays on my mother at the age facility, pays on some of her medicine.

You can't work?

I go look after her every day.

Look, I'm gonna make some calls and meet you at that hearing tomorrow.

You can't get him out now?

No.

No.

Can I please have my sunglasses back?

Yeah.

THERESA: Thanks.

Here. This way.

I'll see you at the hearing tomorrow, Mrs. Carlin.

Hey. How'd it go?

- Peachy. - Abrams come after you?

Yeah, yeah. Big time.

JOHN: Making it look like Licalsi confessed because I found out.

ANDY: I hate that fat prick with his wimpy beard.

And Richie Catena's bimbo is going to testify on the Marino ledgers.

I'm telling you, John.

You should've done with that ledger what Nixon should've done with the tapes.

- Another smack dealer got robbed. - Well, let's rush right over.

John, I.A.B. Is looking at you.

Yeah, they had a guy on me at court. I got the message.

No mistakes.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

JOHN: Where'd you get that eye, son?

A couple guys ran out that door yesterday

when Alex was coming up, pushed him downstairs.

They robbed the guy in this apartment?

I think so.

You think he's dealing drugs?

I wouldn't know. I wouldn't wanna get in trouble.

All right. Come on, son.

RAMOS: Yeah?

New York City detectives, Mr. Ramos.

- (MALE VOICE SPEAKING SPANISH OVER RADIO) - (CROWD CHEERING OVER RADIO)

Want to open up, please?

Can we talk to you about getting robbed?

(SIGHS)

Look, man, what I got to say, I said to the uniforms already.

Couple of guys I did not get a look at, came in, cuffed my ankle to the radiator,

tossed the place and left. Mistake, I figure.

All right... Hey, what are you doing, man?

- What are you doing? - ANDY: Report says you knocked

on the wall. Got the neighbor?

RAMOS: Yeah, he called the cops. I didn't.

- JOHN: Where's the neighbor now? - He got chest pains often.

They said he went to the hospital.

- You dealing? - Nah, man.

Yo! Hey, what are you doing? That's a private bedroom back there.

Thought I heard voices, singing.

Cooperate, it's gonna go easier on you.

Look, man, I told you what I know, all right?

You're not dealing, huh, Ramos? So these are the scales of justice?

They say you're a lying turd.

I'm asking you guys to leave, man.

First, we gotta counsel you how to handle a robbery attempt

should it happen again.

We found the best way an asshole like you should respond

is to seize up the barrel of the intruder's gun in your mouth.

You try to jerk it from his possession, If it goes off in your throat,

we'll arrest the guy and there's justice all around.

Now you keep that in mind if you get another scale, you jerk.

I don't mind them robbing drug dealers, but pushing kids down the stairs...

I think we should set up on one of these places.

MALE VOICE: Detective Kelly, would you comment, please?

(INDISTINCT CLAMOR)

I told you before, I have nothing to say.

Hey, that's twice you stepped on my foot. Don't step on my foot anymore.

- Kelly! - JOHN: Oh, boy.

Look, I don't want to hassle you, Detective,

but, uh, you don't return my calls.

What do you suppose he's trying to tell you by that?

Would you give us just 30 seconds?

JOHN: Norman.

What makes you think if I were to talk to somebody

that it would be you?

You think a hundred thousand dollars might change your attitude?

'Cause that's what I've been trying to call you about.

Hmm. Not interested.

My people will give you 100k for an exclusive interview

- when you're done at the trial. - Not interested.

You're not interested in a hundred grand?

Is someone putting Prozac in your granola?

No more messages, no more calls. Got it?

You ask me, Kelly, what's coming out of that courtroom,

you should start looking at new sources of income.

MALE VOICE: I have no idea.

ANDY: Same as these other jobs. Two guys hit the apartment,

that lying sack-of-crap dealer out there says he never got a look at them.

- ARTHUR: You catch him dirty? - No, but he's a definite. (SIGHS)

Guys that robbed him ran over some kid going down the stairs.

John and me wanna set up there at one of these places

before we wind up with a homicide.

Well, Martinez popped a guy for criminal receiving.

Less price for narcotic sale.

We got him in one. Use him if he fits what you need.

ANDY: All right. Thanks.

Um, I.A.B. wants the log books and the roll calls

from the Linardi Investigation. They're coming after John.

ANDY: Did the girl testify?

I don't think they're waiting to find out.

Uh, Lieutenant says Martinez got a guy we can use in interview one.

Good.

- JOHN: Let's go talk to him. - ANDY: Yeah. Listen. I'll... I'll...

I'll meet you in a minute, huh?

So, how's it going?

I got your message on amending the Carlin Complaint.

- Yeah. Can we do that? - On what basis?

On the basis the guy bit me.

When I picked him up at that gin mill,

he left a full-dental impression on my knee.

Andy, is the wife dropping the battering charges?

Is that what this is about?

- I think she's going to drop them. Yeah. - And you want the husband off the street?

Believe me, this guy is wrong.

He's been using this woman for a speed bag.

But with the underlying charge withdrawn, the judge will never let me amend.

Get the woman some referrals. The husband's going to walk.

Yeah. All right.

So, how are things otherwise?

They're okay.

(CLEARS THROAT) I...

I hope to have something to say to you soon on a personal matter.

Why don't you just say it?

At this point...

I gotta wait.

All right.

I hope it'll be very soon.

Just wanted you to know.

Excuse me.

All right. You got a drug problem, Tahir?

TAHIR: Um, my only problem's with the police.

- JOHN: You dealing now? - TAHIR: Definitely not.

We know you're moving product with this mark, Little Ben.

We toss your place and find drugs, Tahir, that's an extra felony.

Plus, you lost your chance to help yourself.

- How can I help myself? - You wanna cooperate?

Detective, see that's what I'm looking for, man, is a fresh start.

Boosting that CD player was a mistake, but I only did that

'cause I... I moved into a new place.

You gave yourself a housewarming present.

Guys are breaking into dealers in your neighborhood, Tahir.

Tried it on me last week.

We wanna set up your place, put a camera in.

TAHIR: That get this beef dropped?

- Depends on how we do. - I'm down. Set it up.

You'll be wearing a vest. We'll be close by.

But I must tell you, there's gonna be some risk to you.

TAHIR: No more than usual, man.

T... that comes with this lifestyle.

We don't wanna see you dirty on this camera, Tahir. You understand?

All we want in that camera is if you get robbed.

Could you see into the crapper?

JOHN: No. No camera in the crapper.

So anything self-incriminating, that'd be the place to do it.

Why don't you just use your head and keep your mouth shut.

I got a really good feeling about this.

Hey. How'd it go at the firing range?

How'd it go, Donna? I spent an hour each direction on a bridge,

bunged up in traffic.

I got bit by greenflies at Rodman's Neck,

and then I mutilated my thumb

adjusting to the slide action on the nine millimeter weapon.

Greg, stop a minute and talk to me.

- (GREG SIGHS) What's the point? - The point is...

to stop and talk.

You know, ever since these settlement meetings with your wife,

it's like you're in another solar system.

Yeah, well,

- so long from Planet Medavoy. - Gregory?

It's useless, Donna.

It's hopeless, and... and... and useless, and a waste of your time.

- (PHONE RINGING) - Fifteenth squad.

Yeah.

James Sinclair, detective.

And, uh, Robin Wirkus said she'd meet you at the Jive Bar.

Okay.

Kelly.

Mm-hmm.

Okay. All right, I'll see you in the morning. Right.

- Thanks a lot. - Yeah.

I'm going back tomorrow.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Guess this girl jammed me up.

She say what she saw?

I don't care what she said she saw, Andy. She was not there. She's lying.

Probably went to Abrams looking to earn

with something her dead boyfriend told her.

He gives her a short course in the hearsay rule,

and her memory gets very vivid, huh?

- Looks like you're up. - DAN: I'm here for Detective Sipowicz.

Yeah. I gotta talk to this guy.

Okay. We'll talk later?

All right, John. Call me tonight if you want.

Yeah. Thanks.

- Hey, Dan. - A different job now.

Hispanic fellas, women.

And a puff of smoke, a working lieutenant.

I've been waiting for you to call me.

- Did you speak to her today? - No. You said don't until you called.

I had second thoughts.

I don't want you asking her out today.

- Dan, you're driving me crazy. - Who's the boss?

With 18 years of sobriety?

Who did you ask to be your sponsor?

All right. You've been a big help to me, but I disagree with you on this.

It's my decision to wait.

- (SIGHS) - I wanna give this more thought.

- I'm not putting your progress at risk. - When can I ask her out?

I don't know!

You'll wear on yourself with your impatience.

- That's it? - Remember, GRIP.

Growth. Resolution.

Intention.

Purpose. We'll speak soon.

Ah!

Grip this.

FEMALE VOICE: The so-called Blue Murder trial

of former police officer Janice Licalsi. Afternoon testimony

supported the prosecution's contention that detective John Kelly

had known of his lover's involvement with organized crime.

Gina Zarone, shown here leaving the Center Street courthouse,

- stated that she had seen Kelly... - Harry...

another one for the gentleman down there.

FEMALE VOICE: ...a soldier in the Marino crime family,

at which Licalsi was shown xeroxes

- of the controversial Marino diary. - BARTENDER: Another one?

- No, thanks. - MALE VOICE: You sure?

Yeah. Thanks.

FEMALE VOICE: ...as a surprise witness on the grounds

that her life had been threatened on several occasions...

You mind if I say that I...

recognize you?

- I'm not looking for conversation. - Sorry.

- Hey, Johnny. - Absolutely. New York's finest.

- Sorry, I'm late - That's no problem.

This girl shoot anybody yet?

Huh? Hey, why don't you go sit,

- and talk to your new friend? - You've had too much to drink.

- Take it outside. - Hey, hey!

This ain't Rwanda, pal.

What? What the hell with you, Jerry.

What, this isn't a police state yet. Hey!

(GROANS)

(GROANS)

You're a liar up there.

Hope that bitch gets life, and they kick your ass off the force.

- Don't come back. Don't come back. - Yeah. I pay your damn salary.

- You okay? - Yeah.

(SIGHS)

(SCOFFS)

How was your day?

(SIGHS) Okay.

Last five days have been okay.

Yeah. Been a little hectic.

So, how is she doing?

How's who doing?

Who? Hillary Clinton, who.

She's doing okay.

She just wants this part of it over. She wants to get sentenced.

Let's get some menus. Could we...

Thank you.

I still have feelings for her.

Janice Licalsi.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess you do.

Have you, uh...

Have you been seeing her?

I saw her last night.

- You sleep with her? - No.

No. It's just, uh, you know,

it's like a mess, and she's going to jail and...

Let me... let me just, uh, ask you a question, Johnny. When...

(BREATHES DEEPLY) When a person's in trouble, you get very protective,

and let... let me just ask you, when you say feelings,

could... could it be those or, um...

No.

I have feelings for her.

I guess we oughta stop seeing each other.

I'm sorry.

Hey, we were friends before. We're still going to be friends, okay?

(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)

You love who you love.

I'm not... I'm not hungry.

- JOHN: Yeah. - Okay.

- Let me get you... - No, please. I, uh...

I can get home.

I'll call you.

Okay.

(MUSIC CONCLUDES)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

DONNA: This is the gentleman, Lieutenant.

Are you John Kelly's superior?

- Yeah. How can I help you? - Well, my name is Timothy Miller,

and I'd like to file an assault complaint against Mr. Kelly.

Why don't you come to my office.

- Are you familiar with the incident? - Why don't you tell me your side of it.

Well, my side of it is I'm having a beer. I recognize this asshole off the TV.

I say hi to him. He gets hysterical about his privacy.

Next thing, I get the brass knuckles in the solar plexus.

I'm still bringing up bile.

So...

- you wanna file a complaint? - Hell, yes!

And maybe a lawsuit.

I'll get a detective in here to take the information,

but I want you to know we're gonna look real hard

at your story, Mr. Miller.

The brass knuckles don't sound right.

The unprovoked assault doesn't sound right either.

Are you sure you weren't drunk and mouthing off,

and maybe he helped you outside?

Hmm. So, this is how it works? The big blue wall.

How it works, Mr. Miller, is you file a complaint.

Then we ask Detective Kelly if he wants a cross-complaint.

Then we get statements from the bartender and any other witnesses

about who provoked the incident.

Then we decide who gets locked up.

You want me to get a detective in here?

I want you to know just what kinda people you have working for you.

I know what kind of people I have working for me, Mr. Miller. (SIGHS)

Think you can find your way out?

How long a waiting list?

No, no, no, forget about the homeless shelter.

She'd just have six people hitting her instead of one.

(SIGHS)

All right. Yeah. Thanks, anyways.

ARTHUR: Hey, John.

Come here.

What's going on?

Some guy was just in here, saying you beat him up in a bar fight.

This guy was mouthing off to me, and I asked him to leave the bar.

He threw an elbow at me, so I helped him.

- Then you beat him up? - I moved him outside.

- He file a complaint? - No.

How'd that happen?

You all right, John?

- Yeah. - What time you testify?

(SIGHS) I see Sinclair in half an hour.

ARTHUR: All right. (SIGHS)

Why don't you stay around here until then?

You won't get in any jackpots in here, will you?

I don't think so.

All right.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Detective. - Donna.

Hey.

Well, uh, Dan, do you have a decision for me yet?

You and I are going to have a contract.

Any slackening in your program, any losing focus, I'm going to step in.

- Are we clear on that? - We're clear.

As long as we have that contract, you can ask her out.

Listen, seeing Sylvia, it's... it's, uh...

it's not going to get in the way. It's gonna be helpful.

We'll see.

(SIGHS)

You going to wear that tie when you ask her out?

Yeah.

There's something wrong with that neckwear.

Look, I don't have another tie with me, Dan.

- MARTINEZ: Excuse me. - I'm gonna wear this tie.

Hey, you got a minute? I need to talk with you and John.

- What's your name? - James Martinez.

- Dan Breen, James Martinez. - How do you do?

- Dan used to be on the job. - Is that right?

How tall are you, Martinez?

Almost five-eight.

When I came on, you had to be five-ten.

Yeah. I'm glad they lifted that regulation.

Yeah, yeah. Fellas used to try all sorts of rigs.

You know, weights around the feet,

and so forth, you know, trying to make the limit.

- Is that so? - Anyways, listen, Dan, I'll...

I'll keep you posted about how the other thing goes.

- Okay. Good to meet you, Martinez. - MARTINEZ: Same here.

GREG: No. I do not want to prolong the negotiations.

(SIGHS) No.

No! Goodbye!

You're rubbing your ears a lot.

I think I got fungus on it at the firing range yesterday.

- Can you get a fungus that fast? - GREG: Evidently.

Thousands of men wear those ear protectors.

Besides, I... I don't know why Fancy picked me to qualify anyway.

DONNA: I thought everyone has to.

I mean, but he picked me first.

Do you want my opinion on something, Gregory?

- What? - You're resisting new experience.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about the end of your marriage.

I'm talking about Ethan Cohen's Grief and Recovery.

It's an emotional handbook for divorce.

It says, when a marriage breaks up, the couples mourn,

they resist new experience, and, uh, they have a general sour outlook.

My sour outlook's because I'm getting screwed

in these settlement hearings.

Ethan Cohen says to relax and let your situation unfold.

I'm getting dismantled possession by possession.

Dollar by dollar.

This, too, shall pass, Gregory.

That's what he says, to keep reminding yourself. Now...

do you wanna hear my plan to help that happen?

- What? - This Sunday,

we go to Madison Square Garden, we watch the Rangers skate onto the ice,

we lift our eyes to the rafters,

and we gaze upon the Stanley Cup banner, hanging in all its championship splendor.

Gregory,

if that doesn't tell you dreams can come true,

and the future can be what you make it,

you haven't got a heart in your chest.

I got a heart.

And I got blue seats.

This is from last night.

- JOHN: This is Tahir. - MARTINEZ: Mm-hmm.

TAHIR: Me in the department, permanent.

I wouldn't have to go to the academy or nothing,

'cause, uh, I can handle a piece already, throw down with anyone.

Nice uniform,

- and I'm smooth. I can smooth... - (KNOCKING ON DOOR)

JOHN: What are we looking at, James?

TAHIR: Who is it?

- SHAKEEM: Shakeem, man. Open the door. - Here's the other guy.

Look at this. I'm bubblin' in it now, man.

Just took off two dudes over on Hudson.

Some tourists! Got me 500 dollars!

So, look it here, man. I want you to let me get a couple of eight balls.

- And let's go in the can. - I ain't going to the can.

- I wanna show you something. - I don't wanna see that.

Shakeem, for your own good...

What I wanted to know is, do I grab Shakeem for the robbery

- before surveillance is over? - ANDY: Can you put a finger on him?

Yeah. Tahir gave up his usual places.

If they filed a complaint, then the victim can ID Shakeem off a photo array,

and you grab him off that.

If he doesn't pick the photo, then you hold the pop

till surveillance folds.

- Okay. - We'll watch the apartment tonight.

Okay. Thanks.

To tell you the truth, I think Tahir is more like an F.B.I. candidate.

(CHUCKLES)

MALE VOICE: There he is!

(INDISTINCT CLAMOR)

Have you met my, uh, co-counsel?

- What's going on? - This is not good, Johnny.

If D.A. Abrams hadn't gotten an ethical shiver just now,

Janice would've bargained herself into a six-year bid.

I don't want you testifying anymore.

She called the District Attorney behind my back,

- said she'd take six on a plea. - Janice.

Gina Zarone can put you in jail.

Gina Zarone is a half-whore,

whose credibility I'm gonna destroy before John ever gets on the stand.

I want you to forget about Gina Zarone,

I want you to trust in John Kelly, and I want you to let me do my job,

which right now is preparing him for Cross.

Now, please excuse us.

- I'll do the six. - You can do better than that.

SINCLAIR: Excuse us, Janice.

(INDISTINCT CLAMOR)

Clients with a conscience make for complicated lawyering.

You can do better than that for her, can't you?

I'm gonna be candid.

Abrams got what he needed from that girl.

He's positioned you finding out what Janice did,

and making her come forward.

Off that...

he's gonna project an effort to conceal into every action Janice took

before and after the shootings.

He's counting on you to deny you witnessed the meeting.

That protects your legal position, but it leaves Janice hanging.

(SCOFFS)

Look... I'm... I'm not going to try to put words in your mouth, okay.

I never asked what you saw or didn't see, what you knew or didn't know.

All I'm saying is when Janice walks onto that witness stand...

I need those 12 people back

- believing she made a free confession. - That's the truth.

The truth and a trial have as much to do with each other

as a hot dog and a warm puppy.

- I'm asking, can you sell the story? - Yeah.

Here we go.

- (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING) - (INDISTINCT CLAMOR)

LAWYER: Detective Kelly,

I again draw your attention to the meeting last December 14th

at which Janice Licalsi was shown pages from the so-called Marino ledger,

and I ask whether you witnessed that meeting.

Yes, I did.

You acknowledge that you witnessed the meeting on the steps

of the New York public library between Miss Licalsi and Richard Catena?

JOHN: I witnessed the meeting from about 200 feet away.

I saw no pages or no documents being passed.

LAWYER: How did you happen to be present?

JOHN: Janice had received a phone call at the station house that afternoon.

Uh, she said she had to go meet someone.

She seemed upset about it. I became worried and I followed her.

Since you've denied entertaining any suspicion of Miss Licalsi,

I take it after seeing her converse with a known criminal,

your concerns were assuaged.

When she got back to the station house,

I confronted her about it. She said Tommy Linardi

had approached her a couple days earlier.

She reported this to the organized crime unit,

and was told to cooperate,

and inform them what she'd been asked to do.

LAWYER: In the course of this confrontation with Miss Licalsi,

did you discuss her prior criminal activities?

I had no knowledge of them.

Did you discuss the pages she's been shown from the journal?

JOHN: I've never seen the pages.

LAWYER: Detective Kelly, is it your testimony that you felt no curiosity

as to why Miss Licalsi had been approached?

Did you think she'd been approached at random?

I thought she was approached because her father was in their pocket

until he killed himself.

All right. Nothing further, Your Honor.

Mr. Sinclair.

Let's be clear, Detective Kelly.

In the aftermath of this meeting

that Mr. Abrams has been in such pains to establish,

you discovered Janice Licalsi had been acting

- on assignment. - That's right.

As a consequence, you had no reason to suspect her

- of any criminal activity. - JOHN: No reason.

Let alone specific implicitly in the Marino murders.

- JOHN: That's correct. - As a matter of fact, Detective,

the shooting of Angelo Marino and his driver was a cleared case.

- Isn't that correct? - JOHN: Absolutely.

Someone had confessed to those murders.

Alphonse Giardella had confessed to those murders.

Mr. Abrams has therefore taken a day and a half

to establish that on the basis of a meeting you saw

from several hundred feet,

a meeting whose particulars you'd have no way of divining,

a meeting you subsequently ascertained

Janice Licalsi had been assigned to attend,

you failed to conclude that she'd committed murders

several months previous,

murders to which someone else had pleaded guilty.

(SIGHS)

Detective Kelly...

did you have any connection with Janice Licalsi coming forward,

and acknowledging the acts for which she's now on trial?

The day before Janice confessed,

she'd been promoted,

and so we'd periodically work together in the squad room.

That day, she initiated a conversation,

and she said she was upset about things.

SINCLAIR: Was she specific?

No, and I felt I was not the person she needed to talk to,

so I gave her the name of my priest.

She contacted him. The next day they had a conversation,

and then she came forward.

And what was your reaction?

I was surprised...

and sorry because I felt that...

she was in a bad position. Criminals had approached her,

and I think she was trying to protect her father.

As for her coming forward,

I believe that came directly from her conscience...

and I hoped she'd be all right.

(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)

Detective Kelly, have you now described the full extent,

and context of your involvement in these events?

Yes, I have.

SINCLAIR: Nothing further, Your Honor.

How do you feel your testimony went?

- I have no comment. - Did you think the jury believed you?

Technique and artistic impression here for you.

Catch Gina Zarone on my show tomorrow. That's money you might've had.

- Two steps backwards, Norman. - JOHN: Are you ready?

Yeah. My guy's just coming out.

Listen, I'll, uh, I'll meet you at the stakeout.

- JOHN: Okay. - You all right?

JOHN: I don't know.

- (INDISTINCT CLAMOR) - (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)

That was good.

Oh, listen, Sylvia, let me ask you.

Did she drop the charges?

- She dropped them. - (SIGHS)

Uh, could you wait for me for a second?

- SYLVIA: Yeah, great. - ANDY: Hey!

Hey, Mrs. Carlin.

- Let me talk to your husband. - I was released.

I know you've been released.

Now, you're gonna listen to me,

or I'm gonna smash your head through that window.

- You know who I am? - A cop.

The other night, after you went to the bar,

after you were done punching your wife out,

I'm the one who picked you up, I dragged you out,

catching cigarette butts in your hair.

You bit my knee when I put you into the car.

Look, if something happened, then I apologize.

Look at me, Carlin. You wanna wind up on the pier?

What are you talkin' about?

I'm talking about going off the end of a pier

with a rock tied to your middle and a noose around your neck.

I'm talking about sucking water in your lungs until you're dead,

and nobody knows what happened to you.

- You threatening me? - ANDY: Do not beat this woman again.

- VICTOR: This is a new start for us. - Do not beat her.

Uh, Mrs. Carlin, you got... you got those numbers and you got my card?

Yes.

- Come on. Let's go. - Hey.

You take care of yourself, Mrs. Carlin.

Thank you.

(SNIFFS, SIGHS)

- SYLVIA: Hi. - Hi.

Um...

that... that personal matter that, uh, that I had mentioned...

- I'd like to talk to you on that. - Go ahead.

(CLEARS THROAT) Uh, Sylvia,

in the five months since we've gone out...

(SIGHS)

Listen, I've tried to make some changes.

I've gone to A.A. I did 90 meetings in 90 days.

- I... I read the books. I got a sponsor. - How do you feel about it?

All right. Uh, my sponsor's a pain in the ass, but he helps me.

I've been going to Al-Anon.

I hope that's no trouble.

I think you're worth taking some trouble over.

So anyways, uh...

these meetings,

they worry about big relationship changes, first months being sober,

but I got the okay, so...

so I would like to resume seeing you.

I'd like to ask you out to dinner.

Tonight?

(SIGHS) I gotta work with John.

How about tomorrow night?

I'd like that.

Good.

I miss watching you mop your head when you eat.

Yeah. I still do that.

- Okay. - Okay.

FEMALE VOICE: I don't know what they're saying.

MALE VOICE: You surprised he left.

- FEMALE VOICE: Uh-huh... - MALE VOICE: Uh-huh you gonna be surprised

when you going out with the man's own brother?

It's a good feeling, huh?

A hero on the City's payroll.

MALE VOICE ON TV: Yeah, I don't know.

What am I supposed to say, huh? He's my brother.

I got a job. I go to work.

You keep thinking you told your last lie.

You get quandaries I don't get.

FEMALE VOICE ON TV: My mouth is not shut!

MALE VOICE ON TV: He's a bum. He drinks.

Anyways, maybe you're done now.

MALE VOICE ON TV: Did he try that?

FEMALE VOICE ON TV: He never lied!

MALE VOICE ON TV: Hey, you never talked to me.

You know I.A.B. Is coming after me.

MALE VOICE ON TV: You vowed to have and to hold till death.

- Remember that, Anne Marie? - FEMALE VOICE ON TV: What about you?

- (KNOCKING ON DOOR) - Yeah, what's up?

Hey. Here we go.

That's 20 bucks.

MALE VOICE: On the floor, asshole.

What's this?

Those are cops.

Those are night tour guys.

MALE VOICE 1: What do you got?

MALE VOICE 2: All right, I got some, but it ain't enough.

Where's the rest?

What are they, popping him?

I'd say there's a small chance.

MALE VOICE 2: This ain't even a grand. Where's the rest?

MALE VOICE 1: Come on, come on, you wanna talk?

They're not popping him. They're taking him off.

- Son of a bitch. - Wait a minute. Wait. Let them holster.

- Stupid bastards. - Here we go.

- Here we go! - Who's dumb enough to clean them out

in the commission in the 33, huh?

- Police! Police! - Police! Face the wall!

- Turn around! Face the wall! - All right. All right.

- Turn around! - MALE VOICE 1: Calm down.

We're on a job here. We're making a cover.

- Yeah, so are we. Turn around! - Listen, listen,

this is a misunderstanding, all right? Let's get on the right page.

- We're on the right page. Face the wall. - All right!

- Give me your hand! - MALE VOICE 2: Wait a second, all right.

Look. We're all on the same job here, Kelly, come on!

You say that to me again, and I'll kick your ass, you understand me?

Let's go.

Come on.

MALE VOICE 1: Give me a break. I mean, who are we hurting, huh?

- Scums and drug dealers. - Do me a favor, don't whine.

I.A.B.'s waiting in your lieutenant's office.

Andy, book these guys. I gotta talk to Fancy.

MALE VOICE 2: You had enough, you stinking thieves.

No one's gonna be able to piss in this house for the next six months,

without I.A.B. next to 'em.

If you were in my squad, I'd kick your ass.

This ain't the 3-3, you pair of turds.

RENO: Yeah, John.

Lieutenant Reno.

- JOHN: How do you do, Lieutenant? - ARTHUR: Sergeant Martin, I.A.B.

- They'll take over the investigation. - Fine with me.

- You had no idea this was cops, huh? - JOHN: No.

MARTIN: Two cops walk in on a place you set up on, but you had no idea?

No idea.

If you were to set up on cops, we should've been notified.

I just told you we had no idea.

- I mean, you're always hoping it's cops... - Andy.

...'cause that's what we live for, you know, a chance to bust your own.

Andy! Shut up, Sipowicz.

- You need DD5s from them? - You know we do.

They're gonna take the whole night interviewing the collars though.

First thing in the morning.

Yeah, all right.

I'll do mine tonight. I wanna get done with this.

Get some rest.

Got a lot to talk about.

(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)

I'm like a bad penny.

No way.

You're right where you belong.

Come on inside.

Right where you belong.
