(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

- ANDY: Did we do a rape kit? - The uniform officer has it.

- (SIREN BLARING) - (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- How's it going? - Where were you?

I, uh, I got tied up.

We got the kit and her clothes and we're vouchering them.

What'd you get from the scene?

Well, guy who works the newsstand near the ATM machine

noticed the victim's car and the one that followed them.

Follow car's a green Ford. I got a partial plate.

- You got the interview? - Okay. Sure.

DOCTOR: Right in here.

Is David okay?

Yes. Your neighbor said your son could spend the night.

No... no I... I have to get home.

We're New York City detectives, Mrs. Hughes.

What did the man look like who did this to you?

He was white, about his height,

dark, short hair. Uh, 40, maybe.

Did he have any, uh, distinguishing marks

- of any kind on his face or hands? - Have... have you been drinking?

- No, I haven't. - How old did you say he was, Mrs. Hughes?

I'm not good with ages. I... I'd recognize him if I saw a picture.

He had a gun. I felt a gun. A pistol.

Here.

He took me to my car and told me to drive.

Another car followed us. (SNIFFLES)

On this dark street, he told me to stop the car.

He was so proud of himself.

He ejaculated several times.

- He changed condoms. - That's so we can't trace the DNA.

Can you tell us anything else about the second car?

I don't know. It was green.

When he finished, he got in that car and took off.

I'm sorry. I'm all upset. I thought I smelled liquor on your breath.

Oh. Don't worry about it.

We'll be in touch again tomorrow, Mrs. Hughes.

You try and get some rest, huh?

DOCTOR: It's okay.

So that's, uh, five in the pattern now, right?

- Rapes off an ATM robbery. - Yeah. That's five.

She seemed hysterical.

I don't know. She seemed pretty on top of it to me.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

- What's going on? - Hey.

You finished with your collar from last night?

Yeah. The grand jury on Wednesday.

Get anything off that rape victim?

It's the same scum.

The same MO. He grabbed her at the money machine.

How did Russell do on the interview?

Pretty good, you know.

- Hey, guys. - BOBBY: Morning, Lieu.

Sector car brought in a couple of guys off your partial license.

One guy fits the victim's description of the rapist.

- They're in one and three. - BOBBY: All right, thanks.

Okay.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

- You got the pedigree on those two mopes? - Yeah. Here it is.

Andy...

I gotta take a minute. Want to work them separate?

- No. Come on in with me. - I'll be right in.

How'd you get that shiner?

I've been seeing someone for the last few months.

A uniform cop in another precinct.

- Did he hit you? - No. No, no, I've been so happy lately.

Paul and I were coming out of a club last night,

and two Black kids attacked us.

The one on me, after he gave me this, ran.

I thought Paul was gonna kill the other one.

The kid said two white guys put them up to it,

gave them ten dollars each.

They're cops from Paul's precinct.

Mm-hmm.

So what have you done about it?

I feel like such a hypocrite, I mean...

Paul won't let me report the incident.

(SIREN BLARING)

If you say no, I will absolutely understand,

but I was hoping, maybe you could talk to him.

John, that's kind of a personal conversation

to have with someone that you really don't know.

- I know it is. - And why doesn't he talk to someone

from one of those organizations?

- He won't get near them. - He's not out?

I thought...

maybe you could help him see his way clear on how he can handle this.

It's like he's ready to explode, Detective.

I'm afraid of what he might do.

What's Paul's last name?

Caputo.

Paul Caputo.

He's in the 27.

- Okay. - I'm so grateful.

It's all right, John.

I got no idea what you're talkin' about. I was home last night.

Yeah. You were watching Fistful of Dollars.

DOUG: You want to ask me what it was about?

No. I want to ask was anybody with you?

DOUG: I live alone. My old lady left me.

There's a surprise.

Should I have a lawyer here?

I mean, is that what I should do?

You want to escalate the proceedings? Go ahead.

Lawyer's going to take time, Doug.

You look a little anxious there. What are you sick?

- Got a jones to take care of? - Your car was ID'd.

Well, maybe your identifiers don't know what they're talking about.

We're looking to clear multiple rapes here.

In every one the women swore the driver had nothing to do with the sex.

That means the driver gets a lot less time, Doug.

Look, I... I bet I know what happened.

I mean, you know the neighborhood that I live in,

and I bet you some punks, they borrowed my wheels

- while I was watching the movie. - Borrowed. Like stole?

While I was watching Fistful of Dollars and then they brought it back.

You wanna do me a favor, huh?

Whatever else happens, don't mention Fistful of Dollars anymore.

Anyway, that must have been what happened.

You sit still there, Doug.

- How long? - Till your bones start aching.

Oh...

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - (SIREN BLARING)

- This one fits the victim's description. - So, uh, what did Russell do wrong, Andy?

- You want to have that conversation now? - Yeah.

- She drinks. - She was drunk?

She was half-bagged. Victim smelled liquor on her breath.

You sure about that? It wasn't like maybe she was having

a glass of wine with dinner?

Yeah, I guess it could have been that.

Want to do this?

Yeah.

- What's going on? - (DOOR CLOSES)

What do you need a driver for?

- Huh? - (CHUCKLES) I don't need a driver.

- I don't know what you're talking about? - You like the company, huh?

You like having an audience while you're doing it?

- What's he talking about? - He's talking about rapes, Russ,

multiple rapes off robberies.

I don't need to rape nobody to get my rocks off.

You listen to me, you are going to tell me before you walk out of here.

We take rapes very seriously here, Russ.

Spare yourself some misery 'cause you're gonna give it up.

Get those women in here. Let them take a look at me.

- (DOOR KNOCKS) - Can I talk to you guys a second?

What's up?

They made stills off the ATM surveillance camera.

- That's the guy grabbing the victim. - That's not either of these guys.

These guys are wrong.

Oh, Lieu, maybe they were both in the follow car.

Well, put one of them there, you got to cut them loose.

All right.

- Hi, Donna. Good morning. - DONNA: Detective.

- Hey. - DONNA: Eight messages for you.

- Let's try Doug again. - Yeah.

- Is his name "Low-Volt?" - Low-tech.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Well?

(GRUNTS, GROANS) Let go of me.

Who is this lowlife and where are we gonna find him?

(GROANS) I don't know.

You're just the driver. This is the guy that we want.

- No, I wasn't the driver. I swear to God! - Who is he?

I don't know... He's Johnny!

BOBBY: Johnny who?

Johnny somebody! I don't know! I swear to God!

- How do you know this "Johnny somebody"? - (SOBBING)

Can't you get me just a little something?

Oh, yeah. You've been so helpful. We'll run right out and score for you.

- I didn't drive the car. - You're the owner.

- I wasn't the driver. - BOBBY: You're the owner. Talk to me.

- Talk to me. - I just drove for him once.

Just once, okay?

He knew a friend of mine in the joint.

And like I... I need money all the time, and Johnny doesn't have a car,

and all I thought it was supposed to be was I'd drive him to the cash machines,

and wait and he'd hold up some broad, and then we'd split.

So this once,

um, this lady gets out of a car and goes up to the machine,

and he points to her, and he says, "Well, I'm gonna get in with her,"

I follow him.

I mean, all I thought it was supposed to be

was to get the cash,

but this guy is warped.

So I followed them,

and then the car stops, and I stop, and then I hear the screams,

and I should have just split, you know? I should have just left him right there,

right? But afterward, I told him,

I said, you know, "I can't do this.

"I need the bread, but I can't do this no more."

So now you rent the car to him.

No. Not to him. To... to the guy who drives for him.

Which is Russ.

- Yeah. - Which is Russ?!

Yes, it's... it's Russ! I'm going to be sick!

(DOUG GROANS)

Now, there's an occupation, car rental to rapists.

- Yeah. - (TELEPHONE RINGING)

- Uh, give me a minute. - (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Yeah.

- (CLEARS THROAT) Hi. - Hi.

I got a letter from John.

- John Kelly? - Yeah.

This guy he's guarding, he's got to spend three more weeks

with these dotheads.

Andy, I've asked you not to use that kind of language.

He's in India. He can't get back.

I want to ask this guy to stand up for me.

SYLVIA: I think that's a great idea.

Not just he saved my life,

I mean, we... we've become friendly. I think he's a good guy.

- Yeah. Good. - ANDY: How are you doing?

- I'm in a state of ambulatory hysteria. - Yeah, they got medicine for that?

Yeah, don't have a big Greek wedding. (CHUCKLES)

I'm sorry I'm not being more help.

Why should we both go crazy?

RUSSELL: Mm-hmm.

I'll double-check it. Thanks a lot.

- Hey. - BOBBY: Hmm.

So Andy said he thought you might have been drinking

last night when you showed up at the hospital.

I had wine with my dinner.

He's concerned that you might have a problem.

- Did he ask you to tell me that? - No.

Hey, you know, you hear something like that and you get worried.

Didn't Andy used to drink?

Yeah. Now he's in a program.

Mm-hmm.

AA people think everybody's a drunk.

(DOOR OPENS)

- How's it going? - Okay.

Um, I was back at the hospital.

They'll release Mrs. Hughes this afternoon.

Did Bobby tell you we like a guy for the driver on those assaults?

- Yeah? - BOBBY: Yeah. we're going back in there

- with the guy. - Good.

Do you want to work it?

I'd crowd up the room.

- So you're only the chauffeur, huh? - (DOOR CLOSES)

- What? - You're the one who waits in the car,

whipping his skippy.

- I don't know what you're talkin' about. - We're talking about Johnny.

Your buddy Doug gave you to us, Russ. How he rents you the car

so that you can drive this wacko around.

(CHUCKLES) You believe that junkie? It's his car.

Sit down.

I'm going to share with you.

I'm learning how to share.

I know someone,

a few years ago, some scumbag raped her.

Guy was never caught.

This woman still has nightmares.

I look at you...

and I see the guy that did that to her...

and I want to punch you out so bad.

- I want to hit you straight in... - RUSS: Hey, take it easy.

- BOBBY: Come on, Andy. Andy! - RUSS: Hey, hey, cool it, man.

Take it easy, man, take it easy.

Be fair.

Ah, man, you shouldn't have said that, Russ.

Be fair?

Be fair... What the hell is fair, huh?

One of those women got raped at those ATMs was pregnant!

She lost her baby! She can't have any kids!

- Now, that's not fair, is it? - You shouldn't have brought that up.

Life hasn't been fair to you, has it, Russ?

And it's not going to be now.

I'm going to take out on you what happened to that woman I know.

- Get away from me, man. - Try and stop me, huh.

- J... Johnny Duffy. Johnny Duffy. - Where does he live, huh?

- Brooklyn... Brooklyn, Dekalb Avenue. - Do better!

His family runs a roofing business. They got to be in the book.

(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

Is that a real woman you were talking about?

No. I made it up.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey, look, Andy, I just got to say

that I think you got the wrong idea about Russell.

I've been wrong before.

Yeah, 'cause she said all she had was a glass of wine at dinner.

(SIREN BLARING)

When you get a minute, uh...

I got something else I want to ask you about.

Yeah. Hmm?

New York City Police.

I'm Detective Simone, this is Detective Sipowicz.

- So? - BOBBY: So, can we come in?

I don't think so.

- Stand right there. - MALE VOICE: Yeah, I'm going to shoot a...

- We just want to talk to you for a minute. - What do you want me to tell him?

Tell him he got the date wrong. I'll be there tomorrow.

Are you sure you didn't get the date mixed up?

- We're looking to talk to John Duffy. - RON: Why?

- Is that you? - (TELEPHONE RINGING)

- Answer that! - MALE VOICE: I'm going to shoot a...

RON: I don't know where my brother is.

Him and the bitch he's married to

- disappear on us all the time. - HOLLY: No, he's busy.

- Fine, I'll tell them they got work to do. - HOLLY: CAN I take a message?

- Tell her her books are a mess. - BOBBY: What's your name?

- Ron. - So where did they disappear to, Ron?

- Who the hell knows. - How many rooms you got back here?

- Two. - Anybody in them?

No.

- Kid is driving me nuts. - CHILD: I'm gonna kill you...

Shut up!

Hey, come here. Come on, come here.

Calm down. I want to ask you something.

- You got a record, Ron? - What?

The joint. Do you have a record? Have you ever been in the joint?

- These your kids? - No, they're my aunt's.

- You okay? - Yeah. Why?

What are you doing here?

I live here. I'm his niece.

BOBBY: You don't want any trouble here

with your honest roofing business, do you, Ron?

RON: No.

You know where your Uncle John is at?

- No. - RON: I haven't seen him or his wife.

I'm Detective Sipowicz, 15th Squad.

RON: I told you, man, I don't know where they are.

BOBBY: Your brother tries to get in touch with you, you better call us.

Yeah, sure.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- That girl's got something for us. - Yeah?

Look, I... I got to go see John Irvin's friend.

Upstairs John?

Yeah, the PAA. His friend's jammed up.

I'd hate to think how.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

I had no idea braces were so expensive. No one in my family has crooked teeth.

There's no way we can stretch these payments out over a longer period?

Thirty-six months was as good as we could do, Greg.

- All right, all right. - (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Do you notice anything different about me, Greg?

Uh, that's... that's a flattering new hairdo?

I mean in the spiritual sense.

learning to take care of myself, learning to be my own friend.

Yeah. Well, I... I... I'm glad you're happier.

I didn't say I was.

It's a journey.

Well, I... I... I'm glad you're making the journey.

- Going to see the girls on Sunday? - Yeah.

Teachers say they're acting out.

- What are they doing? - Right now, it's just little troubles like

Katie stole a cheap bracelet from her girlfriend.

- I can't believe that. - And Jamie spit on her art teacher.

- Why? - They're very angry.

They're mad at us that we're not a family anymore.

Yeah, I... I... I'm sorry about that. I...

I do what I can, you know, seeing them and such.

And I'm not so sure they'd be any happier with us together miserable.

Would it have to be that way?

Oh, Marie.

I think I've learned a lot, Greg. And I'm learning more every day.

- With your journey. - That's right. That's right.

And I'm not too proud to say I needed to make it.

You noticed I haven't mentioned the whore.

- Oh, cut it out, Marie. - All right. All right. Okay.

Greg, maybe we should try again for everyone's sakes.

I don't think so, Marie.

Thelma and Bob have rented that cabin again up north this summer.

- Remember how much you loved it there? - I had allergies there.

You took your pills. You enjoyed yourself.

The girls miss you, and they need you.

I need you, too.

Just think about it.

Yeah, all right.

- BOBBY: You Paul? - Yeah.

Bobby Simone.

John's got a big mouth.

John's worried about you, Paul.

Thought maybe it might help for you to talk to another cop.

- He's wrong. - Look, I know you got ju...

This is not your business.

You want me to eat somewhere else?

John wants me to go to IAB. Is that what this is about?

- Do you want to go IAB? - (CHUCKLES) Sure,

"Somebody's punking me. I don't like it. Please get them to stop?"

Well, there's more than just name-calling that's involved here.

PAUL: Whatever is involved, you know damned well

if you had a problem, you'd take care of it yourself.

- GREG: Here you go. Great, man. - MALE VOICE: So, how was it?

Wouldn't one way for you to deal with this be for you to come out?

Right. So, instead of two jerks, I'm dealing with the whole department.

Well, what do you mean about handling this yourself then, Paul?

Look, I know John has a high regard for you,

- and I'm sure you meant well... - Do you want to answer my question?

No, I don't.

'Cause John's worried about what you might do.

What I have to.

WAITRESS: Here you go.

Look, I got some friends over at your precinct. I, uh...

I hope the guys that are hassling you aren't anybody I know.

One of them isn't Donny D.?

Donny wouldn't know if his wife was a transvestite.

Yeah, he's still that sharp, huh?

So long.

Paul...

don't make any mistakes on this, all right?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

No, if you're about to get shipped out, there's nothing you can do about it.

Well, but don't jam yourself up, Andy. Just let me know.

- All right, son. - DONNA: Can I help you?

I want to see that man.

Detective.

Hi.

How's it going?

- I'd like to talk to you. - Yeah, come on in.

Why don't we go in this back room here?

- Can I get you a soda or something? - No.

Why don't you sit down?

I'm glad you came in.

I bet I know why you're looking for my uncle.

It has to do with a rape.

- She young? - ANDY: In her twenties.

He like them younger than that.

My mother and father were killed in a car accident.

Bang! You got no parents.

My Aunt Bea and Uncle John took me in, where you were today.

Uncle John and that drunk are brothers.

When nobody was around, my Uncle Johnny used to jump on me.

I was 12.

I used to cry while he was doing it. He liked that.

One night my Aunt Bea walked in on us.

My wonderful Aunt Bea tells me

if I ever said anything about what Uncle Johnny did to me,

I'd be an orphan on the streets.

(SNIFFLES) I hope he resists arrest. Then you'll have to kill him, won't you?

Where can we find him?

I don't know where they're living now.

They got a lot of names, a lot of addresses.

It's a welfare scam.

They have a baby in the Bellevue Pediatric Hospital.

He's sick. He'll probably die.

Ask for baby Sean Snyder. He's kind of a celebrity.

Had his picture in the papers. They did a story on him in the news.

Where are you going?

Can't go back there?

No, don't do that.

I got 137 dollars.

I'm going to buy a bus ticket and start a life.

Here, Holly.

What do I got to do for that?

It's meal money 'cause you helped us.

Thanks.

Pulaski and Carp weren't even trying to keep it quiet, huh? Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I'm gonna have them stop here when their tour's over.

Okay, Johnny, thanks.

(TYPEWRITER KEYS CLACKING)

Listen, when you land somewheres,

maybe you should talk to somebody about what happened to you.

As long as nobody touches me, I'm fine.

I got a way to this warped bastard.

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

There is an office over here.

- Hey, champ. - Hi.

Hi.

- Yes? - Detective Simone, 15th Squad.

Detective Sipowicz and I would like to ask you a few questions.

Go ahead.

You have a baby under your care named Snyder?

You want to contribute to his fund?

We're trying to contact his parents.

Well, good luck.

They have a nine-month-old boy dying of a heart defect,

and they haven't showed up

since they found out the donations go toward the bill.

- Well, we need an address on them. - It's bogus.

I sent them forms, they all come back.

- What about a number? - They have a pager.

When they answer and I tell them we need to see them, they never show up.

Maybe their baby's better off without them.

When she visits, she never touches him.

Look, we really need to get in contact with his father.

Ma'am, could you do me a favor and page them?

Uh, if they call back,

tell them the baby needs some medicine and there's a drug company

that's willing to pay them to let them use an experimental drug.

Tell them, uh, you need both their signatures.

- What did the father do? - We think he's a rapist.

- Do want me to call them now? - Now would be great.

WOMAN OVER PA: Orderly Carter, to the fifth floor Nurses Station.

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

- Detective. - Thanks, Donna.

So, how'd it go at the hospital?

We might be all right.

Got a nurse over there helping us bait this guy.

She beeped him and we waited around for about an hour.

Finally got in touch.

Him and his wife are coming over to the hospital in the morning.

They think they're getting some kind of payments,

uh, let them use an experimental drug on their kid.

So they're coming in for the money.

BOBBY: Oh, yeah. I mean, the nurse says

they don't show up for like weeks at a time.

- The baby's lying there dying. - (TELEPHONE RINGING)

- Parents of the year. - Yeah. Okay, good night.

- BOBBY: Night - Good night.

- FANCY: Good night, Donna. - Good night.

So, I'll look in on Doug and Russ down in Holding.

Yeah.

- Is there a Detective Simone around? - DONNA: Detective.

- Yeah, I'm Simone. - CARP: Hey. Jimmy Carp.

- Ray Pulaski. - BOBBY: How's it going? Good to meet you.

- I'll see you tomorrow. - BOBBY: All right. Good night.

- Thanks for coming in, guys. - Sure thing.

- BOBBY: Let's go talk over here. - CARP: Yeah.

- Danny Ferguson says hi. - Oh, yeah, how's Dan?

Eh, he had another kid.

- What does that make, like, four, huh? - Yeah, try five.

That's Dan.

So, do you guys know Paul Caputo?

- He's in our precinct. - What kind of guy is he?

- He's okay. - Yeah, he's okay.

If you go in that door.

I heard he got himself into a jam.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Yeah. Two skells jumped him and a friend.

- Maybe they were askin' for it. - Not what I heard.

- Where'd you hear this in the sack? - What'd you say?

Where'd you hear this?

You better tell me this guy did something really horrendous

to get these beatings.

What, did he sodomize your kid brother?

Did he hold a gun up against your head and force you to get him off?

You know, there was a time we used to lock fruits up.

Now they got us working next to them.

You are the one that could get locked up here

for hiring those skells to beat these guys up.

You are this close to getting yourselves cuffed,

every nickel you got going to some shyster lawyer

trying to save your sorry butts,

having your families read about what lowlifes you've become.

What, are you going to collar us?

- Off what? Who's your witnesses? - (HORN BLARING)

- Who's gonna sign the complaint? - You better understand me here.

I know you did this.

Anything more happens to this cop, Caputo, or his friend,

I'm gonna come looking for you.

Okay.

We understand. Whatever reason, you're this Caputo's guardian angel.

Let's go, Ray.

You're giving us a chance, though, right?

- Right now, this is between us? - Right now, that's where it is, Ray.

- We appreciate that. - Don't be an asswipe.

You're not losing me my job.

He is cute. Isn't he...

Caputo?

You got a chance to walk out now. Take it.

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

(DOOR OPENS)

- Hi. - Hi.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Two more coffee makers.

- Oh, yippee. - (CHUCKLES)

Oh, did you talk to Bobby?

Uh, the right time didn't come up.

- I, uh, I talked to Andy Junior though. - Oh! When's he coming in?

Uh, he'd have to go AWOL to make it.

His unit's shipping out.

Oh, Andy.

I don't want to get him in trouble.

(SIGHS)

Thanks.

- Dinner's almost ready. - ANDY: Yeah.

That church is liable to tilt. Everyone on one side of the aisle.

(BUBBLE WRAP POPPING)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Suspended animation.

Yeah, I guess.

I'm sorry.

What's the matter?

(SIGHS)

I'm having a problem with this drinking thing.

- Oh, brother. - I got to tell you, Diane.

- I noticed it myself. - Hmm.

I mean, the first time we were in that pizzeria

you had a couple of wine coolers.

You asked me am I going to tell.

It's called conversation.

Yeah, well, that's what I thought at the time.

Where we going with this, Bobby?

You want to search my purse, search my locker tomorrow?

Hey, hey. No, I do not want to do that.

Come here.

Come here.

Look, I lost someone to an illness.

I don't want to lose you.

That's all I'm saying here.

I'm not sick...

okay?

I'm not sick.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

RUSSELL: Come here.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

WOMAN OVER PA: Radiology Intern, call extension 4348. Radiology...

- Get the trapper? - Yeah.

Coming up an hour late,

that's the closest she's been to on time since the baby came here.

She didn't say where her husband was?

She just said, "I'll be there in five minutes."

Look, Miss Miller, we have a trap up on this phone right here.

In order to trace the husband,

we gotta get her to have him call on that line.

Here she comes.

Good morning, Mrs. Snyder.

These are the drug representatives?

Uh, your husband's not with you, Mrs. Snyder.

Uh, he couldn't be here.

He said I could sign for him. Sign Sean up for the drug trial.

BOBBY: Oh, I'm sorry. That... that's not gonna work.

We need your husband's personal signature in order to release the funds.

My husband said that I could sign off whatever you have to do to Sean.

I... I can't go for that. I can't authorize the money.

What kind of money are we talking about?

The full treatment? We're talkin' about serious money.

But I need your husband here.

- I could beep him. - Well, I think you ought to do that.

Then we can get into specifics?

Then we can authorize the full dollar amount. Chapter and verse.

If it's a local call, you can use this line.

It's local. It's his beeper.

Dial nine, then the number.

- I'll check in with the company. - Yeah.

WOMAN OVER PA: Wheelchair to Admitting. Wheelchair to Admitting.

- He'll call back in a minute. - Good. Good.

- Do you know where he is? - No.

(SIGHS, INHALES)

What's the drug? Some kind of heart drug?

I explained to you. Sean's big problem is with his valve.

So, it's a valve drug?

- Yeah. - (TELEPHONE RINGING)

- Yeah? - JOHN: Why'd you beep me?

- They want you up here. - JOHN: How much are they giving?

BEA: They said a lot but they won't release it without you.

JOHN: I want you to find exactly what their giving.

JOHN: Okay? I want you to get some identification...

He wants a specific dollar amount,

and he wants you to show me some drug ID,

- who you're working for. - Give me the phone. Hello.

- JOHN: Yeah. - Yeah. Mr. Snyder.

Uh, where... where are you, sir?

I mean because if you're indisposed, we can come and see you.

We're the police, ma'am. You're coming with us.

Coming where?

You're coming to sit in our police vehicle,

while we go pick up your twisted husband at that tit joint

he's calling from while his kid's lying sick in the hospital.

I am baby Sean's mother!

Yeah, come on "baby Sean's mother." You're going to ride with us

so you can't beep your husband back.

(POP MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey, good lookin’

I'm bound for action And a body built for speed

Where's the party? The boulevard is slow

I like that.

Excuse me, baby...

ANDY: Police! Freeze, asshole!

JOHN: Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

BOBBY: Act smart and you're dead.

ANDY: All right, everybody get back to your business! Go on!

What's this, uh, you got a silver little pistol here, huh?

- Hey, what that do? - All right, show's over.

Show's over, folks.

- Come on, nah, tell me. - You got him?

What're you gonna take me in for, huh?

BOBBY: How's raping and robbing half a dozen women sound?

JOHN: Hey, I didn't rape anybody. Any woman I was with, oh, she enjoyed it.

Yeah? Tell Ann Hughes about that! Tell your niece about that!

Tell your wife that! She's waiting in the car!

- Andy? - ANDY: Yeah?

Vera. You remember me?

- Vera. - I had the tattoo removed.

Yeah? How's it going?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Hi. - Hi, Greg.

So, uh... (CLEARS THROAT) ...I saw Marie yesterday.

How was your lunch?

Uh, we signed those, uh...

Credit Union papers.

I'm sure Jamie will thank you when her teeth are straight.

Uh, Marie wants a reconciliation.

She says she has, uh, a new attitude towards me,

you know, and that we should, uh...

we should probably think of the girls.

- What do you think? - Truthfully?

I... I... I think I'd like to know if, uh...

you and I might still have a chance.

I don't think you can count on that, Greg.

I... I... I shouldn't even count on a chance?

No.

Yeah.

'Cause, um, in that circumstance, uh...

You know, I... I... I should probably, uh...

I should probably, uh, think of the kids.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Boy, it's really getting on Spring, huh?

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

- My phone's ringing, Greg. - Yeah.

Yeah. Go on. Go ahead.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Is he giving up a statement? - Yeah.

Look, Andy, I don't want to charge the wife.

Why not? It'll take the DA six months to make the welfare fraud.

Yeah. Well...

I just figure we hold it over her, you know.

Tell her she got to see that baby some more.

Think we're doing the kid a favor?

- You only get one mother. - PAUL: Detective!

- What's going on? - I want to talk to you.

Yeah, sure, in here.

I thought you were going to stay out of this.

Yeah, well, I, uh, thought I'd talk to those guys.

Pulaski was all over me today.

All mealymouthed how what happened to me and John was a mistake,

how now everything's going to be okay.

- What? You got a problem with that? - I told you I'd handle this my way.

Yeah, and I got word that your way, Paul, meant throwing down with these guys

- and maybe getting someone killed. - That's what I should have done.

Paul, maybe you want to figure how to work your life out

instead of having this blow you apart.

You don't know what the hell you're talkin' about.

You want to stay in the closet,

don't walk on the street holdin' hands with your boyfriend.

You want to come out and something like this happens to you,

then you bring charges up.

Look, either way, I give up half my life. And that's how things work out?

What half are you losing here, Paul?

I was supposed to give my parents grandchildren.

- (SIREN BLARING) - (TELEPHONE RINGING)

Well, this is the hand you got dealt.

You don't admit to that, all kind of strangers wind up in the game.

John's going to be there for you.

Don't sell that short.

I'd better go.

Hey...

Take care of yourself.

Yeah.

Thank you.

(DOOR CLOSES)

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - (DOOR OPENS)

JAMES: Hey, Greg.

Yeah, good night, James.

So, uh...

I don't want to make too much out of this, but I wanted to let you know

that, uh, Adrienne asked me to take her to Andy's wedding.

Oh, yeah? That's great.

Yeah, I mean, it's not a date exactly.

Of course, I don't know what else you'd call it, you know?

Yeah.

Hey, uh, what's the matter, Greg?

(SIGHS)

I'm, uh, probably going to call Marie

and tell her that I... I'm coming back to her and the kids.

Mm-hmm. Well, maybe that's for the best.

Do me a favor, James.

Don't say it's for the best.

I'm never going to be with anyone like Donna again.

I was meaning in terms of your kids.

Yeah, well, from that point of view, yeah,

I guess it is.

Anyways, that's, uh...

that's, uh, great news about you and Adrienne.

Yeah, I don't know if it's great, but it's, you know, pretty good.

Now I'm going to say good night.

- Good night, Greg. - Yeah.

Hi. Uh, it's me.

GREG: I've been thinking about what... what we talked about...

That hump is not only a rapist, he got fingerprint ink on my shirt.

Hey, well, that's a whole separate charge.

- You seen Russell? - No.

Uh... (CLEARS THROAT)

...I want to ask you something.

Sure.

I was hoping maybe you'd stand up at my wedding...

be my best man, If you'd be comfortable with that.

I'd be glad to, Andy.

You wouldn't mind being the only person that half of the church?

(CHUCKLES) No.

Yeah, I'd be grateful.

- (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING) - Hey.

- Hey, how's it going? - RUSSELL: Good.

This other thing, I'm going to butt in once and say,

if she's got a problem or not,

- It's gotta be her who decides that. - Yeah, I'll remember that.

You got to realize you can't be a part of that.

It's really hard when you got feelings for somebody.

Through with Russ, the wheelman's statement.

Let's go.

We got 114 envelopes we got to address.

Good night.

Yeah.

Thanks, Bobby.

- Hey, John. - You bought him time, Detective.

Talking to those cops, talking to him.

Good. I hope things work out.

I'm hoping he's gonna get some therapy now.

- Oh, yeah? - Don't you think that's a good idea?

I wouldn't be comfortable saying, John.

I wouldn't want to get into that.

I understand.

There's only so much an outsider can do.

- Yeah. - (DOOR OPENS)

Well, good night, Detectives.

Thanks for what you did do.

Good night, John.

RUSSELL: Good night.

Child Welfare signed off on Mrs. Duffy having custody.

Is that where you were?

Yeah, that's where I was.
