- BOBBY: Greg.
- (SIREN WAILING)

- Hey. What do we got now?
- Ah. Little girl went off the roof.

Uh, I think she hit
the bracket on the way down.

- Got a name on her?
- Yeah. Miriam De Guzman.

The mother's over here.

I guess we should let her look
at the body.

I'll let Andy take a look first.

- (GREG EXHALES SHARPLY)
- BOBBY: What?

Oh, that... that little girl's,
uh... she's the same age as my Katie.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

She's got ligature marks.
There's semen all over her dress.

Bastard raped and strangled
this girl before he tossed her.

GREG: Andy, I...
I gotta take a look upstairs.

Be back in a few minutes
to talk to these people.

Yeah, okay.

I'm sorry, Ma'am.

BOBBY: Mrs. De Guzman.
I'm Detective Simone.

I'm with
the New York City Police Department.

That's Detective Sipowicz over there.
We're very sorry for your loss, Ma'am.

(SOBS) I want to see her.

We'll let you see Miriam in just a minute.

We have to ask you
a few questions though.

I sent her to the corner
to get notebook paper for her homework,

and then a few minutes later...

all these people
were in the street yelling.

I didn't think it was Miriam.
Why would she be on the roof?

When Miriam left the apartment
to go to the store,

did you see anybody outside in the hall?

- MRS. DE GUZMAN: No.
- GREG: You didn't hear anything?

MRS. DE GUZMAN: (SOBS)
What would I have heard?

BOBBY: See, what we're trying
to get to, Mrs. De Guzman that...

it doesn't look like Miriam's fall
was an accident.

- What?
- We're thinkin' maybe she was

thrown or... or pushed.

(SOBS) You think somebody killed her?

We think it's possible. Yes.

So, this person was in the building...

and to get to the roof he...
he took her by the door of my apartment?

My daughter got carried past my apartment
with me inside?

(CRYING, SPEAKING SPANISH)
Let me see my daughter.

All right. Come on. Come on.

(SOBS)

Andy, I thought you'd want
to talk to this guy.

The guy's got something.
But he'll tell you.

Uh, he found something
on top of the stairwell.

We're gonna go take some polaroids
before we bring it down.

Thanks. Come on.

- What's your name?
- Farr. Phil Farr.

I didn't see nobody.
But I heard something.

- What'd you hear?
- I'm practicing to be a deejay, right?

So I'm in my apartment, I'm doing my riff,

and I hear the kid scream
goin' down the window.

I mean, she went right by my window.
I got it on tape right here.

FARR ON TAPE: Rockin' down and around
With the Farr man

- Fast Phil Farr. I'll tell you with...
- (GIRL SCREAMS)

Uh-huh?

- (ANDY SIGHS)
- FARR: How about that?

We're gonna need this tape.

Wait. That's my property.

You'll get your property back
when we're done with it.

Come on, that's worth something to me,
man. Some station's gonna pick that up.

Call the 15th Squad
about your tape in a little while.

Look. That's gonna get me some exposure.

Don't say nothin' more to me right now.

(SOBS)

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(THEME MUSIC FADES)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

JAMES: So, when did this happen,
Miss McLeary?

- Last night.
- Last night.

Um... excuse me one second.

Hey, Diane.

I'm catchin'. Could you give me a hand
with somethin'?

- Sure.
- Woman says she's been raped.

- What's her name?
- Uh, Farrell McLeary.

Miss McLeary, this is Detective Russell.

I thought you might be more
comfortable talkin' with her.

- Hi
- Somebody raped me last night.

Why don't we go in here
and talk about him?

Do you mind if Detective Martinez
comes with us?

No.

My name's Diane, Farrell.
Would you like to sit down?

- Mm-mmm.
- (DOOR CLOSES)

All right. Why don't you just tell us
what happened.

Last night I went to this bar.
The Ticktock Grill over on East Seventh.

And I met this guy. He seemed pretty nice.

And we were having some drinks
and getting along, you know. So...

he said that he would walk me home.

He said his name was Mark... Drennan.

He... he said he was a...

English teacher
for some high school uptown.

What time did you
and Mr. Drennan leave this bar?

FARRELL: Ten o'clock, maybe.
We got to my building, and he...

This guy seemed like a good guy.

So I asked him if he wanted to come up
and have a drink.

So you asked him up?

FARRELL: And I let him kiss me some.

And then he started to...

He was pushing his hands
up under my skirt,

and I told him
that I didn't want to do that.

But he wouldn't stop.
And so I...

I tried to get away from him,
but he pushed me onto the floor...

and then he... he got on top of me,

and he... (SOBS)

I... I know this is hard, Farrell.

You need to be real specific
about what happened.

He entered me.

He... he raped me.

Did he ejaculate?

Yes.

Did you resist, or did you feel
you'd be safer to cooperate?

I tried to scream, but he kept kissing me,
so I couldn't.

Do you remember if you hit him
or scratched him?

I don't remember specifically.

Did he hit you?

(SOBS) No. No, he didn't hit me...

but he raped me.

I have bruises on my hips
where he held me down.

What did you do after this happened?

I locked myself in the bathroom
till about an hour ago.

Did you bathe or shower?

Took me 12 hours to get myself
out of the bathroom,

- but I knew enough not to do that.
- Well, good.

If it's all right with you, Farrell,

uh, we'd like to take
Polaroids of the bruises...

and then send you over to St. Vincent's,
have a doctor look at you.

- There you go.
- Thanks.

- Mark Drennan? That's the man's name?
- Yes.

I'm gonna go run him
through B.C.I. All right?

- (DOOR OPENS)
- I am so ashamed. (SOBS)

I asked this man into my home.

Would you show me the bruises,
and I'll take the pictures?

I'll stand over here
by the door so no one can come in.

Could you come forward a bit?

Medavoy and Lesniak picked up the D.O.A.'s
school book bag and her coat...

at the top of the stairs
along with a man's necktie.

Looks like that's what he used
to strangle her.

Could the mother I.D. the tie?

- No.
- And no witnesses.

No. Greg and Adrianne
They talked to the super.

They got the names of everybody
in the building.

So they're gonna be running them
through B.C.I.

Plus we're running
the building through cars

to see if it has any kind
of history as a crime scene.

Rapes her, strangles her,

then throws her off the building.

Ten-year old girl.

DIANE: Uniform will take you
to the hospital. I'll call you after.

What's this?

Woman meets the perfect man.
Turns out to be a creep.

Hey, Diane. I talked
to somebody at Lincoln Park.

This Drennan teaches there,
but he's not in today.

- They gave me his home address.
- Let's go pick him up.

- All right.
- Anything on your little girl?

- Greg found the guy's tie.
- Mmm.

- Hey, Pop.
- Hey. How you doin', Son?

Andy J. So I hear you're joining
the Hackensack force.

Yeah. They accepted me for training.

BOBBY: Congratulations, man.
That's great.

ANDY J: Thanks a lot.

I just had to come into the city
to get a copy of my birth certificate.

- Paperwork already, huh?
- ANDY J: Yeah.

(CHUCKLES) Dad, if you're okay doing this
other thing tomorrow,

mom's flipping a little bit
about me joining up.

I thought I'd cook her pasta tonight,
calm her down.

- Yeah. We can do it tomorrow.
- I mean, I don't want to lose the chance

- with you.
- ANDY: No. Tomorrow's good.

Come, like, around 4:00?

- Yeah.
- All right. I'll see you then.

- See ya, Bobby.
- Take care, Andy.

Excuse me.

I was gonna take him on the street
after my tour a little bit,

- show him the ropes.
- Yeah, huh?

Hey, guys. Martina Escobar
from up at the two-seven.

She's working on a case
from last week.

Um, 11-year old girl raped,
thrown off a roof up at 96th and second.

- She's gonna bring her stuff down?
- She's on her way.

Martina Escobar.
You ever get a look at her?

- Complete knockout.
- You know her?

- We took a course together.
- I never met her.

Alls I know is she got
her first-grade money

the year I got screwed out of mine.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Can I help you?
- Mark Drennan?

Yeah. I'm Mark Drennan.

We're New York City detectives,
Mr. Drennan.

Your, uh, name's come up in regard to,
uh, one of our investigations.

We were wondering if you'd come down
to the precinct, so we could

ask you a few questions.

Questions about what? It's okay, Lizzie.

We'll fill you in
down at the station house.

- Am I under arrest?
- We just need to clear up a few things.

But you're not gonna tell me
why you're here.

- (CLEARS THROAT)
- MRS. DRENNAN: Mark?

It's nothin'. I got it.

This is a serious matter, Mr. Drennan.

We were hoping you would
come down like a gentleman,

so we wouldn't have
to put you in handcuffs.

I'd hate to upset the little girl.

Sweetie, go tell Mommy that I have to talk
to these people for a couple minutes.

Okay?

- Mommy, Daddy say he has to...
- All right. Uh, look,

I don't want to go anywhere with you
until you tell me what this is all about.

Someone's bringing a rape charge
against you, Mr. Drennan.

- A rape? What?
- Would you come with us, please?

You better get your coat. All right?

(SIGHS)

Phoebe, I gotta go someplace.
I'll be back soon.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

BOBBY: Yeah.
Any information you could give us.

- Hi. I'm Detective Escobar.
- All right. Thank you.

Bobby Simone.

Hey. Martina.

- How's it goin'?
- It's really nice to see you.

- It's been a while.
- BOBBY: I don't want to think about it.

You look good, Bobby.

Andy. Martina Escobar.

We went through the, uh,
C.I.C. course together

about, uh, what? A 100 years ago?

- My partner, Andy Sipowicz.
- Escobar like the drug guy?

He's my uncle.

Comedian.

Case I'm working on,

victim's name is Rosa Carillo.
She's an 11-year old kid.

She's in the hospital
with multiple fractures,

- a clothesline broke her fall.
- She get a look at this guy?

As much as we can get,
we know it was a White guy

- wearing a blue leather jacket.
- Blue leather.

That's pretty much all she could see
while it was happening.

We also have this.

MALE VOICE ON TAPE: This little girl
just fell off the roof.

You gotta send somebody.

FEMALE VOICE ON TAPE:
What's your location, Sir?

MALE VOICE ON TAPE: You... Man,
it's the corner of 96th and Second.

Eight-three-two,
the number's eight-three-two, 96th Street.

FEMALE VOICE ON TAPE: Sir,
what's the phone number?

MALE VOICE ON TAPE: You're not...

FEMALE VOICE ON TAPE: What's the number
you're calling from, Sir?

We traced this to a phone booth
half a block down the street.

- Guy seems pretty nervous.
- BOBBY: Hmm.

- You wanna trade cases?
- Yeah.

Here.

We've got a suspect
on that rape complaint.

- Um, interview one's open.
- Who's that?

That is Detective Escobar
from the two-seven.

- Hey.
- DONNA: She's workin' on that homicide

with Detective Simone.

She's going through my desk.

Detective, can I get you
any work materials?

- Yeah. I'm looking for a fresh notebook.
- I got one right here.

- There you go.
- Thank you.

Look. I just want to tell you right off.
I...

I really have no idea what this is about.

Do you know a Farrell McLeary,
Mr. Drennan?

Yeah. I met her last night,
but I didn't rape her.

Is that what she said?
She said I raped her?

Yeah, Mark. She did.

That's nuts. I met this girl in a bar,

and I ended up going home with her.
That's all*

Did you have sexual relations with her?

- Yeah. She wanted to.
- You some kind of ladies' man, Mark?

(SIGHS) Hardly. I'm married.

- Which means what?
- Which means I cheated on my wife.

But that doesn't make me a rapist.
Look. My wife and I...

things have been
kind of a mess between us lately,

and, uh... I don't do
this sort of thing often,

but last night I ended up going out
for a drink, you know.

And I met this girl in a bar.
We started gettin' along and, um...

things started to get kind of hot.

What do you mean "kind of hot"?

You mean you were kissing her,
feeling her up?

- Both.
- This is in the bar?

Yeah. In the bar.

Then she... she said she had to go,
and would I mind walking her home.

- She asked ya?
- Yeah. She did.

And we end up making out on the street.

And then she said, uh...
do I want to come upstairs.

And I mean, I'm not about to say no.

It's... it's been a while since
my wife's been particularly interested.

So we went up to her place,
and... and we made love.

- She was into it.
- Did you use a condom?

No. No, I know... I know that's stupid...

but, uh... we were both pretty wasted.

According to Miss McLeary, she said
she asked you to stop, and you wouldn't.

Does that ring any bells,

or were you too wasted
to remember that too?

At one point she did say,
"Maybe we should stop,"

- but she didn't mean it.
- Mm-hmm. You a mind reader too, Mark?

No. She was taking my shirt off
at the time.

So I took that as an indication.

Look, I'm not into forcing anybody.

You didn't force her?

What's this?

DIANE: That's what you did
to Farrell McLeary.

I didn't do this.

- She must have taken a fall or somethin'.
- Oh, is that right?

No. No, no. She told me about this.
She takes, um... uh... gymnastics

class at the... at The Y,

and she told me
she banged herself up working out.

Check it out. Would you, please?
Check it out.

Look, when I left,
she kissed me good night.

This... this... this isn't a rape.

There you go.

Not too optimistic I'm gonna get anything
from this guy's tie.

They're four for ten bucks
from every peddler in the city.

Detective Escobar,
call for you on line two.

Thanks. Escobar.

Aha. (SPEAKING SPANISH)

Figures we'll trace where the perp
bought the tie.

She said we had zero on the tie.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Puerto Rican Labor Union
is offering a 10,000 dollars reward

for any information leading
to this perp's arrest.

Reward, huh?

Their kids are being attacked.
They want to help.

(SIGHS) Anybody really knows
what happened,

they know that we'll pay for information.

Here all we're gonna get
is a bunch of amateur sleuths

and people lookin' to settle
private grudges.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

- Sipowicz.
- (TELEPHONE RINGING)

- Calling about the reward?
- Okay.

Can you speak a little
better English there?

Escobar: Hold on, please.

ANDY: All right,
Can you give me a description?

(PHONE RINGING)

On the phone you wouldn't say
why you needed to talk to me.

We just have to ask you

a couple of questions
about Farrell McLeary, Miss Keller.

- Do you know her?
- Mm-hmm. She's one of my students.

- Down at The Y?
- Mm-hmm.

What kind of classes you teach
down there?

Gymnastics...

mat work, uneven parallels,
stuff like that.

Do people ever get hurt doing
that kind of stuff?

Sometimes.

We're pretty safe in my class though.

If one of your students did
take a fall

or otherwise injure herself
in one of your sessions,

- would you be aware of that?
- Not necessarily.

I mean, Farrell could have taken a fall
or not. I don't know. I didn't see it.

I didn't mention
that she had taken a fall.

I assumed that's why
you're talking to me.

Did you speak to Farrell today?

Don't lie. 'Cause we can check.

I wasn't gonna lie. I did talk to Farrell.

She called to say
she couldn't make tonight's class.

She tell you anything else?

- Mm-mmm.
- JAMES: Okay.

- All right. Thanks for coming in.
- Sure. My pleasure.

DIANE: Thank you.

ANDY: We'll check it out,
and we'll get back to you...

(SIGHS)

I think Miss McLeary
got to her.

- Why would she do that?
- You don't think that woman was lying?

I don't know what she was doing,
but that didn't support Drennan's story.

He knew about the gym class, Diane.

Where's he gonna hear
that unless it's from her?

She made up the rape,

called her gym teacher, got her
to lie about the bruises.

- Why is she doing all this?
- Maybe she sleeps with him,

finds out he's married,
and now she's pissed off.

So, what are you saying?
You want to give this guy a walk?

Maybe we should talk to the boss.

You all right?

- What's up?
- I got two possibles.

A lady says some guy tried to drag her kid
into a stairwell, and this one,

the teenager, he was attacked
with a necktie.

- I think we gotta check 'em out.
- Where they at?

Staten Island and the Bronx.

- I'm gonna stay on the phones.
- We'll call in.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

You're gonna have to go back
to work on this. Check with the bar.

See if anybody remembers these two.

I don't want to hold
this guy overnight, Lieu.

ARTHUR: If you release him,
can you get him to come back in?

Well, he's a family guy.
He's not goin' anywhere.

Then do it that way.

Doesn't sound like something
I can authorize overtime on.

- You're gonna let this guy go?
- ARTHUR: Whose case is it?

I'm the one who caught it.

It's his call, Diane.

- I'll go tell this Drennan he can go home.
- (TELEPHONE RINGING)

Is Bobby around?

Him and Escobar are looking
into some wild goose chase.

That Escobar any good?

It don't jump out at ya.

- She messed up my desk.
- DONNA: Line one.

Sipowicz.

- Hey, Donna.
- Hey.

No "habla" español.

- Yeah. Uh, can you speak English?
- Hi, Diane.

- Hi.
- ANDY: English, please.

Martinez, another lead
on those child murders.

- Sk... Can you?
- JAMES: Which line is that?

Three. Hold ono.

(SIGHS) Hi. Maury asked me to stop by,

and see how the investigation
was going on the little girl.

I tell you. We're at the crime scene.
Nobody sees nothin'.

Now the Puerto Rican Labor Union
puts out a reward...

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

...everybody and their brother's giving up
a name who's going after these kids.

Yeah. Well, just keep us posted.

- How do you feel?
- Fine.

- DONNA: Detective, another call.
- Oh. Yeah. Sipowicz.

Diane, we heard that you guys
brought a suspect in on a rape charge.

Uh, we sent him home.

Oh?

The, uh, complainant's bruised, traumatized.

She's positive for semen in her rape kit.

The guy admits being with her.

And, uh... James Martinez thinks maybe,
the whole thing's a misunderstanding.

Adiós.

I've had some personal experience
in this area.

It's not something
that you... misunderstand.

DIANE: Yeah, well...

- Hey, Greg.
- Hey.

- Hey.
- Phone break, huh?

Yeah. Everyone's lookin'
to give up their mortal enemy.

Yeah? And that date rape, uh...
I hear you got problems with that.

Yeah. We brought the guy in,

and the thing is, uh,
there's some real questions what went on.

Oh. Yeah.
There's always questions with date rape.

And but Diane, as far as she's concerned,
she just wants to lock the guy up.

Women detectives get very emotional
with ya, uh... on those cases.

Exactly. And all I'm saying is, uh...
we should look into this a little further,

and all of a sudden,
the battle lines are drawn.

Yeah.

Hi, Sylvia.

- How's it goin'?
- Fine.

Anyways, what's the use?

(SIGHS)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Now nothin' fits.

(SIGHS)

(TOILET FLUSHES)

Hey. Where do you come down
on that Martinez date rape case?

Yeah. I don't know too much about that.

Well, I gotta say I was shocked.

Diane Russell told me the facts
of the case,

and it seems very clear
that the complainant was sexually coerced.

- (POLICE SIRENS WAILING)
- Yeah. Well, I'll tell you somethin'.

I got 25 years in.

Even when I was drinkin',
I always did my job.

I closed the Bucci kidnapping
two years ago.

I'm up for first grade.

Commissioner decides he's gonna fill
the list with minorities and women.

What does that have
to do with the Martinez date rape case?

I'm just sayin'. We got
a woman detective, Escobar,

workin' a pattern on these roof murders.

She gets her first-grade money
the same year I'm up.

Fourteen years on the job,
and she didn't close no Bucci case.

(SIGHS) I'm gonna have
to go to one of those maternity shops.

- (PHONE RINGING)
- (SIGHS)

Yeah. Hello.

Ah, hell.

Okay. Yeah.

- Damn.
- What?

Another kid got thrown off a roof.

BOBBY: All right, guys. Can you lift
that blanket up, please?

(SIRENS WAILING)

- (SHUTTER CLICKS)
- (FEMALE REPORTER SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SIRENS WAILING)

Okay. Thanks.

- (SIRENS WAILING)
- You want to step back there?

- All right.
- Would you get these people out of here?

Hey. Little boy.
We haven't I.D.'d him yet.

- Six blocks from the last one.
- Yeah.

Got thrown off of this roof,
landed on the cab.

Some of the neighbors they moved him.

- ANDY: Did you talk to these neighbors?
- BOBBY: No.

Hey. Hey. Let me ask you Hey, hey.

- BOBBY: Grab him.
- Hey, hey. I got it, Bob.

- Hey. Where you goin'?
- I didn't see nothin'.

I just want to talk.
What are you nervous about?

I didn't see anything.

- I'm not nervous.
- Know anything?

How about a guy
in a blue leather jacket?

- I didn't see anything.
- Yo, yo, yo, yo. Bro, just calmate, okay?

- I am talkin' to him.
- (SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

- You know him?
- (SPANISH CONTINUES)

- (POLICE SIREN FADES)
- (SPANISH CONTINUES)

The dead boy's name is Eddie Chavez.

- This kid knows his sister.
- That kid spoke perfect English.

Well, he was more comfortable in Spanish.

All I'm sayin', in English we both can
question this kid together.

MARTINA: Yeah, but we needed
the information,

and he obviously was more comfortable
in Spanish.

Yeah, is that how you got your shield,
Detective Escobar?

Speakin' Spanish
to the brass at city hall?

- Implying what, Detective?
- (SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Oh, I'm sorry. Should I be talking
to them in English?

You shouldn't be talking to them at all.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC FADES)

- We're not open yet.
- We're from the police department.

I called yesterday.
I said we'd be stoppin' by.

Oh, yeah.

- You were working the bar Monday?
- Yeah.

- You recognize this woman?
- Yeah. She was here.

She come in with any friends?

- No. Not usually. Monday she got lucky.
- Meaning?

She met a guy,
he was buying her some drinks,

and they were mugging it up.

- They were kissing and such?
- Yeah. These two were in heat.

I was gonna tell 'em
to take it somewheres else,

- but they figured that out on their own.
- Hi.

So, this guy who picked her up.
Did you ever see him before?

- No. She's a regular though.
- She pick up a lot of guys?

No, but when she does, she means business.

I mean, she's an attractive woman,

but I think she's one of these babes
that hears the clock ticking.

Thanks for your opinion.
(WHISPERS) Asshole.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

We're gonna have to ask
that Miss McLeary some hard questions.

- She was kissing the guy in the bar.
- Yeah. And on the street too.

Oh. In the bar and on the street. Well,
that definitely means he can rape her.

Hey, Diane. When that Miss
McLeary first came in,

I found her just as credible as you did,

but now we're getting
some conflicting information.

There's a lot of sexual behavior here
that woman didn't tell us about.

Both of us know no jury convicts
that guy off that set of facts.

- Not if you're on it.
- Hey. I'm sorry

we disagree on this case, Diane,

but I'm just trying to do my job.

If that makes me look insensitive,
I'm willing to live with it.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

(LYDIA SPEAKING SPANISH)

(CONTINUES SPEAKING SPANISH)

Okay, bye, Mami. (SNIFFLES)

- (PHONE BEEPS)
- My mom's going straight to the hospital.

So, if you want to talk to her,
that's where she'll be.

- Okay.
- What time did your brother

Eddie go to school this morning?

LYDIA: About 8:00. (SNIFFLING)

I was worried because he usually meets
his friends on the corner...

so that they can walk together,
and he was late today.

Do you know if he met the other kids?

He said that if... that if they left
without him he'd come back.

So when he didn't come back,
I thought everything was fine.

Can I get you somethin'?
Glass of water maybe?

(DOOR OPENS)

Bill, somebody killed Eddie.

What? What?

(LYDIA SOBBING)

- Who are you guys?
- We're the police. Who are you?

This is my boyfriend, Bill Walsh.

You live here in this neighborhood, Bill?

- I have a place over on Bowery.
- (SOBS)

Man. Somebody killed Eddie?

MARTINA: I found this on the floor
in your kitchen.

I think it must have fallen off a chair.
Can I hang this up for you?

It's mine.

- BOBBY: Left your jacket here, huh?
- BILL: Yeah.

I just went out for groceries.
I didn't think I needed it.

So, you were here this morning,
huh, Bill?

Yeah. I just fed Eddie breakfast.

How could this happen?

BILL: Did you see him on the street?
You know,

maybe passed him on the way
to the grocery store.

No, no. The store's in the other direction
from where he walks.

Couldn't we do this later? I have to go
and see my mom at the hospital.

- Absolutely.
- BILL: I'll drive you, hon.

BOBBY: Uh... maybe you can come
to the station house with us, Mr. Walsh.

- Me?
- Yeah. It'd be a really big help.

You know a case like this,
there's so little goin',

anything you can give us
would be significant.

- I better stay with Lydia.
- Stuff you might forget

in a couple hours
could make the difference.

It's okay. Go with them.

Here. You don't wanna forget your jacket.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

DIANE: James, Miss McLeary's here.

- I'll do it.
- I'm not asking you to do it.

It'll be better comin' from me.

- Farrell, thanks for comin' back in.
- Sure.

Hi.

Did you arrest him?

Hmm. We brought Mr. Drennan
in and questioned him.

His story you both were engaging
in sexual behavior

in the bar and on the street
before you invited him up.

We were making out. I told you that.

His feeling is you definitely indicated
you wanted to have sex.

The bartender supported
Mr. Drennan's version of events.

What do you mean
the bartender supported it?

The bartender wasn't there.

In addition, Mr. Drennan told us

that you had told him you got
those bruises working out at your gym.

So, we spoke to your instructor,
Gail Keller.

She wouldn't confirm or deny that story.

Then she admitted she spoke to you
before we asked her to come in.

So?

Did you ask her not to lie exactly,

but just not to tell us
that you did hurt yourself working out?

She said you work out
on uneven parallel bars.

- Could that be how you got those bruises?
- She heard my question.

He raped me.

Farrell, we're just trying
to get you to understand

the difficulties of making an arrest
under these circumstances.

FARRELL: What kind of world is this?

You invite a man into your apartment,
everyone assumes it must be for sex?

I didn't want sex.

I wanted a relationship.

Are you saying I should drop the charges?

We're trying to let you know
there's a pretty big downside

the likelihood of the D.A. filing.

Oh.

So, now I know the downside.

I'll think about dropping the charges.

(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

MALE VOICE ON TAPE: You man...
It's the corner of 96th and Second.

Eight-three-two.
The number's eight-three-two. 96th Street.

(TAPE PLAYER CLICKS)

- It's him.
- So you got the tape and the jacket.

That's not enough
to hold him if he gets nervous.

We're gonna get a Polaroid,

see if her complainant
in the hospital can I.D. him.

- What are the chances on that?
- Crapshoot.

She's got a skull fracture, a concussion.
She could barely talk last time I saw her.

But we gotta try. We gotta get something
to go at this guy with.

Keep him occupied till we get back
from the hospital?

Yeah.

How long is this gonna take?
I'm really worried about Lydia.

Well, it's hard to say, Mr. Walsh.

- What was that for?
- Oh, the boss

He, uh, makes us do this
every time we talk to somebody.

Interview situations. Everybody's always
screaming about police brutality.

Doesn't make any sense.

It's the way of the world. Come here.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

What's the delay?
Those other cops back yet?

(CLEARS THROAT) Sit down.

We're not gonna wait for them.
(CLEARS THROAT)

- I just had to make a phone call.
- 'Cause I'm tired of sittin' here.

Whatever information you need,
ask me, and I'm gonna go.

We're gonna get started now.

So, what do you want to know?

I fed Eddie breakfast,
and I went out for groceries.

Just if you could give me some background.

Your length of relationship
with his sister, so forth.

Two and a half years.
What's that got to do with anything?

Who were you seeing before?

I was playing the field. What the hell's
that got to do with the price of eggs?

- This was in New York?
- (CHUCKLES) Yeah.

When'd you live in California?

I lived in Walnut Creek.
It's outside Oakland.

- Yeah. How long ago?
- Oh, like, four years.

And, uh... you took a collar there?
Exposing yourself to a minor child?

- That was a complete false accusation.
- Sit down.

I ran you with my good friends
at the F.B.I., Bill.

You're clean with us,
but you were wrong with them.

That incident was a kid with a sick mind.

Is that before
or after you were done with her?

That's it. I'm outta here.

Yeah. You got a good case, Bill.

You want to try and get past me?

You gonna hit me?

(SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE)

- How about that Polaroid they took of me?
- If I come out bruised

Bill, I'll beat you
till you'll never walk right again,

and you won't have a bruise on your body.

- Help! Somebody help me in here!
- Shh, shh. Billy. Hey. Shh.

Nobody can hear ya.

See, uh... cops got special feelings
for child killers.

The other fellas in the station house,

they thought I should spend
some time with you alone.

What are you crying for,
you little turd, huh?

- Have I laid a hand on you?
- Just leave me the hell alone.

- Are you scared? Hmm?
- Yeah, all right? (CHUCKLES)

- Does that make you feel like a big man?
- Do you think those kids were scared, huh?

Do you feel like a big man
with those kids,

raping, murdering them
and throwin' 'em off the roof?

No. No. I didn't hurt anybody.

The first girl that we know about
you hurting,

she's alive. Okay, Bill? Hmm?

She hit a clothesline going down,
and she's alive,

and she said that she can identify
who tried to kill her.

Well, if she says it was me, it's a setup.

So we got her picking you out,

plus we know that you were with
that boy this morning.

- No.
- And this is before your D.N.A.

goes under the microscope
from the semen you left on that poor girl

you threw off yesterday.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I don't give
permission for any D.N.A. test.

Bill, does that mean

that instead of you
letting your blood get drawn...

- Oh.
- ...I have to beat enough out of you...

- to spoon it up from the floor, huh?
- (WHIMPERS)

- (GROANING) Gonna piss myself.
- You hold it! You hold it!

All right. You listen to me now.

You dialed 911 on that first girl.

We got you on tape.
Now, that shows remorse...

and you fighting what's goin' on
inside of you.

Now, that's what you gotta work on now.

I'm lookin' for that decent part in you
to come out

and explain how you wound up doing this.

You got four years
since your previous offense.

You were livin' with an adult woman.
That's someone lookin' to control himself.

The child had an accident.

She fell off the roof,
and I tried to save her.

- I called for an ambulance.
- This was the first girl?

Yes. That was the first incident
since Walnut Creek.

And what were you doin'
on the roof with her?

We were up there talking.

Don't tell me you were up there talkin',
or you're gonna get hit.

There was some minor sexual contact.

With...

Then she got afraid,
and she ran and she fell.

I was sick it had happened.

I was living with an adult woman.

I was workin' my program,

And an accident happened,
and she... fell.

You raped her,
but you didn't try to kill her.

I figured the hell with it.

- That's why I did the other one.
- And this would be Miriam?

I figured the hell with it.
No one's gonna believe me anyway...

that the first one was accidental.
I figured I'd do another one.

To hell with my program.

- And what about Eddie?
- There was no sexual component with Eddie.

He just knew.

I could tell.

When I gave him his cereal,
he looked at me.

(SIGHS)

And he knew.

- Excuse me.
- Yes?

Some detectives are working a rape case
a male and a female.

Could I talk to them?

Detective Russell.

There's someone here
about that rape complaint.

I'm Detective Russell.

You were down at the Ticktock Grill
this morning asking about some guy.

Was his name Mark Drennan?

Come on in.

Uh, have a seat here.

- What's your name?
- Ellen Lippert.

- I'm a bartender down there.
- And you know this Mark Drennan?

Did he rape that girl?

- Why are you here?
- 'Cause he raped me too.

Have a seat, Ellen.

(SIGHS) When we, uh, talked
to this other bartender, he said he...

never saw this Drennan before.

We work opposite shifts.

Drennan came in about a month ago,
sits at the bar, starts flirting with me.

Having problems with his wife.
He seemed decent.

I let him stay late,
help me clean up the bar.

Then when everyone's gone,
he won't take no for an answer.

He thought he was some big Romeo.

He actually kissed me good night
when he was through.

I swear the way this jerk is acting
he's got no idea what he did.

Did you, uh, tell anybody
about this at the time?

I told my sister. She said
I should report it, but, you know,

I just felt like this wouldn't have
happened if I hadn't been so stupid.

Would you be willing to press charges now?

Yeah. That's why I'm here.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Uh-huh.
- Uh-huh. Could, uh...

Stop taking those reward calls, Medavoy.
This guy gave it up.

Thanks. We got him.

He confessed? That guy, Walsh?

- All three kids.
- That's great, Andy.

- What's up?
- Andy got that guy Walsh to give it up.

You went ahead and talked to him?

He was gettin' hinky.
Your victim pick him out?

Yeah. She did.

So, that's great.

What would you have done if this guy
would have hollered "lawyer"...

while you leaned on him
before you had a photo I.D. to go with?

I'm hard of hearin'.

Anyways, now we got the statement
and the I.D. So...

Yeah. Congratulations.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Hi. Detective Martinez called.
- Wait here.

Yeah. Mr. Drennan.
Thanks for comin' back in.

Sure. No problem.
Wanna take a walk over here?

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

- It was great to see you, Bobby.
- Likewise.

When I, uh... heard about your wife...

I wanted to call.
I didn't know what to say.

Yeah, well...

Want to go to dinner sometime?

- I'm seeing somebody, Martina.
- Ah. Well, missed my chance.

I gotta talk to your partner.

Yeah. Okay. I'll see you later, huh?

(COINS CLINKING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Feel pretty good
about getting your statement?

Say your piece, Escobar.
I gotta meet my kid.

- You're a dinosaur, Sipowicz.
- I'm a dinosaur?

You jeopardized that collar because
it sticks in your throat I'm first grade.

It sticks in my throat how you got it.

Every White guy in the department
with second grade...

thinks he should've gotten
my grade promotion.

Half of you guys think
I got it on my back.

It doesn't occur to any one of you

that I got it because I'm good
at what I do.

So you earned it?

- That's right.
- Ah. I got twice your time on the job,

I'm a hell of a detective,
and I paid my dues.

- I earned it.
- Well, life is rough, huh, Sipowicz?

For once a White guy
didn't get something he deserved.

You know, that never happens to Latinos,
and that never happens to women.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(TYPEWRITER CLICKING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- You need to take a look at these?
- I'm not sure. Not right now.

(CLICKING CONTINUES)

So this, uh... Drennan guy
still says he's innocent, huh?

Those women were lookin' to have sex.
That's all he knows.

Plus he's having problems with his wife.

This is a big relevant point
with this jerk.

Unbelievable.

JAMES: We were lucky
the second woman came along.

This guy is pretty convincing.
I mean, I was convinced.

(CHUCKLES) Diane was always
pretty skeptical.

- How about that second woman showin' up?
- Just great.

- ARTHUR: Yeah.
- Not to say it's only rape

if the guy does it twice.

Uh, no. No. It's... It's just hard.

You know, a... a... a case this confusing,
uh, objectively to... to...

- to evaluate the facts.
- ARTHUR: Yeah.

I mean, hard for everybody.
Men and women.

Oh, sure.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

GREG: (SIGHS) Anyways...

Lieutenant, just want to let you know
if you need somebody

to stay late and answer the phones
I'm available esta noche.

Oh, no. We took care of
that case already, John. Thank you.

JOHN: Oh, that's great.

ARTHUR: So, um...

- Good night.
- Good night, Lieu.

- Night, Lieu.
- ADRIENNE: Night.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Night.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

I just got called
a prehistoric creature today,

So maybe you gotta take what I say
with a grain of salt.

I want to learn from you, Pop.
I... I feel lucky to be out here.

See those three guys
across the street from us on the corner?

- ANDY J: The black guys?
- ANDY: Those three are bad guys.

Those guys decide in a heartbeat
whether to mug or hurt somebody, huh?

- MAN: Here you go, fellas.
- You see the people walkin' around 'em?

- ANDY J: Yeah.
- Those are black working people.

Now. Hey.
I'm not talking about color here.

I'm saying them three are bad,
and right now they own that corner.

A good cop's gonna
take that corner back...

so the people walkin' by 'em
don't have to fear for their life.

- (SIREN WAILING)
- How do I do that?

You say, "Look.

"We need to have this corner clear.

"So, I'm gonna ask you
like gentlemen to move on.

"I come back in 15 minutes,

"I don't want to see you here,
all right?"

And then you leave. You give 'em an hour.

- Okay.
- MAN: Excuse me, but uh, I'm standing.

Now, you come back in 15 minutes
and they're still there,

what do you do now?

I move 'em, I guess.

You go up to the biggest guy in the bunch,
or the guy with the biggest mouth,

and you say, "You don't get
off this corner, I'm gonna lock you up."

And if he doesn't move,
then you put your hands on him.

If he puts his hands back up at you,
you don't fool around.

You find out right away
how good you are with a nightstick

and how tough they really are.

'Cause as a cop,
you can't afford to lose a fight.

- You lose a fight, you lose your life.
- Okay. Yeah.

Okay.

Wanna go take these guys with me?

Really?

Nah. I don't want to spend
the next six hours doin' paperwork.

I'll call a radio car.

I really appreciate you taking the time
like this, Pop.

This is a good job for people like us.

We don't have a lot of education,
but we can read and write,

and we're honest.
Don't ever embarrass this job.

- I won't.
- I know you won't.
