00:00Good morning.
00:16Good morning.
00:17Mr. Wagner?
00:18Yes, right this way.
00:26Good morning, Detective.
00:28Susan's out.
00:32Well, actually, I'm here to see you.
00:36I wanted you to know I wouldn't be working for you anymore.
00:39I'm sorry to hear that.
00:40It looked like you and Susan were getting along.
00:44Scheduling problems?
00:45Not really.
00:47I just don't want to be taking your money.
00:50Why is that?
00:51Well, this way, if you keep beating her up, I can do something about it.
00:58You're working for her now?
01:00No, just the police department.
01:02Then maybe you'll consider that this situation's a little more complicated than you've been led to understand.
01:09Nothing complicated about those bruises on your wife's face, Mr. Wagner.
01:16You are beyond your depth, Detective Kelly.
01:21Our conversation is over.
01:22I'm done, too.
01:25Just to let you know that if you hit her again, you're going to be sorry you ever met me.
01:31You're going to be sorry.
01:47You're going to be sorry.
03:49What's going on in there?
03:51Walker just caught a case.
03:54Now he's voicing some reservations to the lieutenant about me working backup.
03:58This is going to take some time, Andy.
04:00Come on, John, please.
04:01I understand my situation.
04:03I spent a long period of time being sauced.
04:05I need to win back my colleagues' trust.
04:08I've got to exhibit a continuous positive approach, even with this dim bulb hair.
04:15Sipowitz, Kelly, robbery, double homicide, liquor store over on James Street.
04:21You guys want to give me a hand?
04:22Yeah, sure.
04:23Give me.
04:24Our pleasure.
04:26Here's the address.
04:27I'll see you over there.
04:33That was positive, wasn't it?
04:35Our pleasure?
04:37Fair.
04:38What should I have said?
04:40Our pleasure, Rudy Two-Tooth.
04:44Hello.
04:44Could I talk to you for a minute, Detective?
04:51Yeah.
04:54I'll see you outside, all right?
04:56Yeah, sure.
04:57Go to your dad's service?
05:05Yeah, I just got back.
05:07How'd your mother hold up?
05:09Okay.
05:10Yeah.
05:12I wanted to thank you for being there for me the other night.
05:14Yeah, it's all right.
05:18John, I don't want it to be over for us.
05:20This is not the place to talk about.
05:21Well, it's not like you let me pick my spots.
05:24Okay.
05:24I admit I have feelings for you, but it's not going to work out for us.
05:29I'm not going to take that for an answer.
05:31We can make it work out.
05:32I mean, I got to go, all right?
05:33Yeah, the boss...
05:34And this guy, he comes out from the back room with a gun.
05:55You made us all come over this aisle.
05:57You lie on our stomachs.
05:59Did you get looking?
06:00Yeah.
06:01Pretty good.
06:03He was a white guy.
06:04Tall.
06:05About 50 years old.
06:07He had on a black trench coat.
06:10He was like 6'3", 6'4".
06:15He's a good size.
06:17Any marks you notice on his face or hands and the facial hairs?
06:20Yeah, he had a mustache.
06:23And he smelled like he'd been drinking.
06:26He came and stood over us.
06:29And that's when I heard the click from the gun over my head.
06:33Kelly.
06:33Thank God he must have used the phone.
06:34White, 45 or so, around 6 feet tall.
06:39All right, let's get these people over to the precinct.
06:42Have them take a look at some pictures.
06:45My guy makes a perp about 6'3 or 4'.
06:49He's 50 years old.
06:50Mustache.
06:51Yeah, let's get them over to the precinct.
06:54Here's a license from the cars parked outside.
06:57Hey, Walker, you know, we don't have to hold hands,
07:00but would you mind not talking to me like I'm Jimmy the laundry boy?
07:04You give me the license numbers for the canvas, I said okay.
07:07Yeah, all right.
07:08Okay, fine.
07:08It's my mistake.
07:09All right.
07:11You got a minute, Kelly?
07:19This is notice.
07:20I'm not taking any crap from your fat friends.
07:23Why don't you give him a square shot?
07:24I'll give him the shot he earns.
07:26But I'm telling you, if that drunk screws up my case,
07:29I'm going to hang his ass in the window.
07:31You didn't pay attention, Walker.
07:32He hasn't had a drink in over two months,
07:33so why don't you take your attitude and shove it up your ass?
07:37Is this something the whole class can appreciate?
07:40We're done.
07:43Folks, let's take a ride over to the precinct house
07:45to try and make a photo ID.
07:47That was my idea.
07:48I can't wait for us to see you.
07:50Yeah.
07:52It's this apartment ticket here.
07:55Hey, Detective.
07:56Hey.
07:57Yeah.
07:58Keep it on your way out.
08:01It's all stopping.
08:04Okay, we'll take you upstairs.
08:06I'll show you some pictures.
08:08Head up.
08:10This is Wagner.
08:11What's happening?
08:15My husband just told me you won't be working for us anymore.
08:18Yeah, that's right.
08:23How's the eye?
08:25It's fine.
08:27Please don't quit, Mr. Kelly.
08:30Mrs. Wagner, you don't need a bodyguard for when you go out in public.
08:33Your problem is a domestic situation.
08:35Now, my advice is if your husband hits you again, just file a criminal complaint or move
08:42out on him.
08:44What you shouldn't do is stay in that big apartment and take it or talk the way you were the other
08:50night, which sounded like you were soliciting me to commit a crime.
08:55When I said that I wished something would happen to him, I was upset.
08:59I didn't mean anything about it.
09:00Okay, well, maybe I misunderstood.
09:02But, Mrs. Wagner, a lot of women that have husbands like yours can't do anything to help
09:08themselves.
09:08You can.
09:10You can make a choice.
09:11Do it.
09:12You're indulging a prejudice, Mr. Kelly.
09:15Hello.
09:16I'm flying.
09:17Affluence doesn't always purchase opportunity.
09:32Take a look at these.
09:41Hey, Sipowitz.
09:47My witness just ID'd this guy.
09:50He's got two priors for armed robbery.
09:53Show him the people.
09:54Everybody have a weapon.
09:56This guy's 5'9".
09:58So what?
09:59Our statements made the purpose 6'3 or 4'.
10:02Mine said around 6'.
10:04Hey, Sipowitz.
10:05People look taller when you're lying on the ground.
10:07Show him the photograph.
10:15New faces.
10:17All right, take your time.
10:23Look at these carefully now.
10:26No.
10:30Kill him.
10:35I got a positive ID from one witness.
10:39Guy's name's Cole.
10:40He's got the right priors.
10:42I want to pick him up.
10:43Sipowitz thinks he may be too short.
10:45No, no, no, no.
10:45Let's pick him up.
10:47Maybe he was wearing lifts.
11:01Yeah, Bensonhurst, John.
11:02It's a likely locale, huh?
11:04Guy lives here, wants to rob a liquor store downtown Manhattan.
11:08All he's got to do is make, like, what, 9, 10 subway transfers?
11:11Well, maybe he had business downtown and came back and did the store then.
11:15Yeah, right.
11:16Maybe his doctor's down on James Street, huh?
11:19The one that gives him his hormone injections.
11:21That pump him up to 6'3 when he's about to pull a job and then shrink him down to his normal 5'9 right afterward, huh?
11:27So, what's going on with you and that girl?
11:36Which girl?
11:38The one we haven't been talking about, because of it.
11:42Nothing's going on.
11:43Hey, hey, you're a divorced man, John.
11:46It's a healthy urge.
11:48If you worked at a topless bar, I'd probably take a shot at her myself.
11:51And here's the guy, Andy.
11:54All right, let's take the bastard.
11:56If he didn't do the liquor store, maybe he did something else.
12:01Oh, look at this, John.
12:03Where's his mustache, huh?
12:05Our witness said he had a mustache.
12:07People shave.
12:08Police officers.
12:09Are you Howard Coleman?
12:11Yeah.
12:12We need to talk to you about your activities this morning.
12:14I didn't have any activities.
12:16I went to the drugstore.
12:17That's the first I went out.
12:18You were seen on James Street this morning in Manhattan.
12:22I wasn't there.
12:23You get off my property.
12:25All right, we're going to have to take you in for questioning.
12:27Come on.
12:27You better have a warrant or you better get the hell away.
12:31Daddy, what's the matter?
12:33Go back inside.
12:34Here, take this.
12:35That's your medicine.
12:35Come on.
12:37Hey, hey, hey!
12:38Daddy!
12:40Stop it!
12:41Daddy, you're hurting me!
12:42How come the water get hurt?
12:44It's okay.
12:45It's all right.
12:45You're under arrest.
12:46Hey, kiddie.
12:47What are you saying?
12:49Daddy!
12:50Daddy!
12:51You're all right.
12:53Sure acts innocent, doesn't he, Zipowitz?
12:55No!
13:05You didn't rob any liquor store, right, Coleman?
13:07You always carry 850 bucks around in your pocket.
13:11Where'd you get that money?
13:12I bet a horse yesterday.
13:14Which horse?
13:15Where?
13:15What race was he in?
13:16Some horse out at Aqueduct.
13:18I don't remember the name.
13:20Look, no one's saying you went in that store to do murder.
13:22What happened?
13:24Taking the place off and someone tried to get violent with you?
13:27Hey, what's your name again?
13:28Detective Walker.
13:30Detective Walker.
13:31I was never near any liquor store on James Street today.
13:33I wasn't in Manhattan, so why don't you just kiss my ass?
13:36What if I give you a broken jaw, eh?
13:39You better make sure these guys are holding me down.
13:41Here we go.
13:42Here we go.
13:42That's it, Walker.
13:43Come on.
13:44There you go.
13:46Hey, hey, Howard.
13:48What's wrong with your daughter?
13:50What do you mean?
13:51You told her to take some medicine.
13:54It's for her breathing.
13:55She's got asthma.
13:56Yeah?
13:57I had a kid who had that.
13:59So what's that supposed to do?
14:00Make me love you?
14:04I was hoping you'd get some deep, warm feelings for me, yeah.
14:09All right, let's get back to the money.
14:13Your ex-wife's here to see you, Detective.
14:17Uh, thanks.
14:18Sure.
14:19I just quit my job.
14:44What brought that about?
14:46This creep's had me in for cards-on-the-table conversation.
14:53Laura, we need you to be more forthcoming about your previous work for the city.
14:58We need to know their approach on our clients' variance applications.
15:01How do they stand on Pynch and Indean?
15:03Excuse me, I ask.
15:05So I guess all that stuff when I came here, how it was me you were interested in,
15:09and not my contacts from my previous employment,
15:11all that was a crock?
15:13Let's be adults, Laura.
15:14Laura, so I told them they could stick their job up their ass.
15:21Just your way of giving notice, then.
15:28You're not going to say I told you so?
15:30No.
15:31Not the type.
15:32You got plans for dinner?
15:46You buying?
15:48I think you have them in a couple hours.
15:50I'm going to be truthful with you, Mr. Schaffner.
15:55The way these lineups work, you're not going to help me any if you say
15:59that could be him or maybe that's the guy.
16:02You got to say that's him.
16:04I recognize him.
16:05That's the guy.
16:06You follow?
16:07I understand.
16:08Of course, I'm saying if you recognize him.
16:12Don't say you're recognizing me if you don't.
16:14Right.
16:15Now you know what I need, so we can get started right away.
16:19It's lineup time.
16:20Walker just finished touching up the bullseye in Coleman's forehead.
16:24All right, come on.
16:26Here.
16:28Take a look.
16:29Okay.
16:33Take your time.
16:34I see him.
16:39Which one?
16:42Number three.
16:45Are you sure?
16:48I'm sure.
16:50That's the guy.
16:51I recognize him.
16:55I like the guy real good, Lieutenant.
16:58He did two bits for armed robbery.
17:00We got a positive witness ID.
17:02Plus, when we pinched him, he had 850 bucks in his pocket.
17:06He couldn't satisfactorily explain.
17:08What do you think?
17:11Looks good so far.
17:13We'll want to see if a crime scene lifts prints and so forth from that liquor store.
17:18But, you know, like he says.
17:21Work it out.
17:22Give it to the DA.
17:24All right.
17:28Lieutenant Fancy.
17:29Yeah.
17:30I got a copy of the report.
17:32Yeah, I read it.
17:34Well, in the future, you can assume.
17:39Thanks for the help.
17:41Yeah.
17:41I didn't mean to be so irritable all day.
17:44No problem.
17:45You son of a bitch.
17:46Why are you doing this to me?
17:48Now, now.
17:49Let's get you over to court.
17:50I'm going to call my daughter.
17:51Let her know what's going on.
17:52Call her through the tubes.
17:54I'm telling you, John.
17:55He didn't do it.
17:56Let it unwind, Andy.
17:57We'll stay on it.
17:58Yeah.
17:59Meanwhile, Coleman needs prison food.
18:014B.
18:08How's it going?
18:10Fine, Detective.
18:11Do you have a moment for me?
18:14Yeah.
18:14Come on.
18:15Several matters.
18:16First, needless to say, our attendance readiness group is eager to hear your thoughts tomorrow
18:22evening, both on building security and personal safety measures.
18:26Is there anything I can do by way of advanced preparation?
18:30Will you have visual aids and the like that can help to set up?
18:34No visual aids.
18:35I'll just go talk for a while.
18:37Fine.
18:37I've arranged for some refreshments and the like.
18:40The other thing, Detective, concerns the upcoming fifth anniversary of my college graduation.
18:48The alumni magazine has asked each member of my class to write a brief account of what's become of them in the intervening years.
18:56And I find, surprisingly, looking back, you know, leaving home and moving to New York and so forth, that this incident of getting robbed and beaten up and then in some way dealing with the man subsequently, in a way, taking back my citizenship, that whole experience has been very formative for me.
19:16And I wonder if I can access your police reports so I could write the experience up.
19:22No.
19:24No.
19:25I couldn't release them informally to you.
19:27You'd have to fill out an application.
19:29That would take a while.
19:30I really feel that those reports would be useful to me.
19:35Poor B, why don't you concentrate on your career highlights, your accomplishments?
19:41Send that into your yearbook.
19:43Why write about a punk who tried to rob you?
19:45Because it's important to me.
19:49I think you're getting tied up in knots under this, man.
19:51I disagree, Detective.
19:54I feel as though the scales have fallen away from my eyes.
19:58I finally understand this city.
20:00You know, what it takes to deal with it.
20:03How to meet it on its own terms.
20:06What it takes to, you know, help others.
20:08How others, they need to be helped.
20:10This is not high noon for me.
20:12And I have to say that your reaction typifies what the average citizen can expect from law enforcement.
20:20A knowing, haughty indifference.
20:24I got to go, 4B.
20:33Me and my haughty indifference will be at that tenant meeting tomorrow night.
20:37week with the mass blasey.
20:39I'll see you in the next couple of weeks.
20:42I'll see you in the next one.
20:48Until then.
21:01What?
21:02Maureen!
21:11Maureen!
21:21Maureen!
21:32Laurie, it's me, John.
21:38Hi, Johnny. There's a beer in the fridge.
21:42Okay.
21:44I'll just be a minute.
22:03Can I get you a towel?
22:06I can get one.
22:08Thanks.
22:11Well, I just ran out of excuses for coming in there.
22:16Since when did you ever need an excuse?
22:32I'll just go.
22:34I'll just be theetter.
22:36Oh yeah.
22:38What?
22:43I'll just be a towel for you to see you.
22:46I'll just be a towel for you.
22:49I'll just be a towel for you.
22:51I, I'll just be a towel for you.
22:53If the water is fine.
22:55I, I'll just be a towel for you.
22:57They can cook for us here.
23:06I thought we were going to go out.
23:09Okay.
23:10You're not hungry?
23:12No, it's fine.
23:22I think I can get work with someone I went to school with.
23:26Jimmy Craig.
23:28James Craig who prosecutes narcotics?
23:31Yeah, in the district attorney's office.
23:35You're kidding me.
23:38No, I'm not kidding.
23:40Are you nuts, Lori? Those people are scumbags.
23:43You don't even know Jimmy Craig.
23:45I'm not talking about Jimmy Craig. I'm talking about the people you prosecute.
23:49I didn't realize I needed a note from you.
23:52Hey, I am not out in the street so you can wind up dealing with creeps like that.
23:57It's a job, John. I'm not mud wrestling with them.
24:03Look, I don't even know if I'm going to do it.
24:05But don't load me down with your teenage fantasies about making the world safe while I stay home and bake.
24:10It made me crazy while we were married.
24:11Okay, and that was just sex, right?
24:14You got in the shower with me.
24:15Did you push me away?
24:16You're right.
24:35This has to stop.
24:43I just kept hoping that we could remain close.
24:48I mean, we've always been each other's best friend.
24:51I want to stay close.
24:53But we can't. It's too complicated.
24:55We can't stay inside the lines.
24:57Perfect.
25:00Perfect.
25:01Yeah, this is Detective John Kelly of the 15th Squad.
25:24I have a shooting victim, D.O.A., at 626 Park Avenue, 12th floor.
25:30No, no apartment number.
25:32All floor is an apartment.
25:37You want some water or something to drink?
25:39No.
25:41You want to tell me what happened?
25:42He was drunk.
25:47We argued.
25:49In fact, we argued about you.
25:52He hit me.
25:53I went into the bedroom and caught the gun.
25:56I came back and told him to leave.
25:58He hit me again, and I shot him.
26:00Where'd you get the gun?
26:01He gave it to me a year ago in another apartment, and the building was robbed.
26:05Okay, so you went into the bedroom and got it after he struck you the first time.
26:11Yes.
26:12Okay, did you tell him you were going to do this?
26:15No, he went to get a drink, and that's when I got the gun.
26:21Okay, I want you to tell me again what happened when you came out of the bedroom.
26:28I told him to leave, and he hit me.
26:31While you held the gun on him?
26:32Yes.
26:33Where did he hit you?
26:35In the face.
26:37How many times?
26:38Several times.
26:39Two, three?
26:40Three.
26:40Then what happened?
26:41I pointed the gun and shot him.
26:45Did he grab at it while you trained it on him?
26:47No, I took a step back, and then I fired.
26:53Okay.
26:53Are you sure he hit you, Mrs. Wagner?
27:03Yes.
27:06I'm surprised that you had asked me that question.
27:10I don't think you should say anymore.
27:14What do you mean?
27:14No new marks or bruises on you, place is clean, no sign of a struggle, no contact wounds, powder
27:25residue on your husband's body the way there would be if he was shot at close range.
27:30I'm telling the truth.
27:33I don't know what happened here tonight, but you're not telling the truth, so please don't
27:36say anymore.
27:37Why are you talking to me like this?
27:42Because I've got to take you in.
27:44So shut up until you speak to your attorney.
27:47Why are you thinking?
28:06All right.
28:34What is going on, man?
28:35What is it?
28:36Good morning, Lieutenant.
28:44How you doing, Sash?
28:45Hey, Detective.
28:46We're throwing a racket for Hanson tomorrow night.
28:49The kid's getting married.
28:50All right, here.
28:55Who caught that liquor store homicide you were out on yesterday, Detective?
28:59Walker.
29:00Uh, let me see.
29:02Something come in?
29:03Yeah.
29:06And that's the guy he collared his daughter.
29:17You arrested my father yesterday.
29:19The detective who's handling that should be here any minute.
29:22My father didn't rob that liquor store.
29:24He didn't shoot those people.
29:28You sure about that?
29:29Yes.
29:30I can prove it.
29:31Um, here.
29:37Let's go in there.
29:38He was at home when that robbery happened.
29:49He, um...
29:50He books numbers.
29:55He stays at home till the number comes out.
29:57The money helps with my medical bills.
29:59He didn't tell you because it violates his parole.
30:02That's why he had $850 when we arrested him.
30:05Yes.
30:06And you were with him yesterday, in the house, the whole morning.
30:09No, I was at the doctor's eye of asthma, but I know he was home.
30:16Okay, that's gonna be real helpful.
30:19Are you going to let him go?
30:22We're definitely gonna keep looking into things.
30:24Why can't you let him go?
30:26I told you he was home.
30:29Now, you see, being at the doctor, you can't actually verify your father's whereabouts.
30:41I'm by myself now in that house.
30:46I'm alone there.
30:48We got other information coming in.
30:51You keep a good thought of how things are gonna work out.
30:53Come on.
30:58You got any pets or anything to keep you company?
31:01No.
31:03I'm allergic.
31:11I'm up late, so...
31:13If you're worried about anything, give me a call.
31:15You got an anonymous tip during the night.
31:27You already knew that, don't you?
31:30Anything coming in about the liquor store case?
31:37Yeah, we got an anonymous tip during the night.
31:41Of course, you already know that, don't you, Sipowicz?
31:45Sarge told me you looked at my messages.
31:48Yeah, I glanced at it.
31:50You know, if someone calls in, they heard somebody talking about pulling that job, we should check it out.
31:54An anonymous tip from the gin mill payphone about an overheard conversation.
31:59Sounds very hot.
32:00All I'm saying is we should check that bar out, see if anybody knows anything about the phone call.
32:06Look, Sipowicz, what did you do?
32:07Take a vow to make my life miserable?
32:10We popped the guy who did this.
32:12All right, you don't come.
32:13I'm going over there by myself.
32:15Maybe you'd like that.
32:16You could toss back a few shots.
32:21Who drives?
32:22The hero.
32:23I think Mrs. Wagner's patience and courtesy have been abused long enough.
32:41I'm sorry to detain you for so long.
32:44We had to collect the crime scene report and medical examiner's findings.
32:50Neither one support Mrs. Wagner's account of the incident.
32:54In addition, Detective Kelly states she made an incriminating solicitation to him the night before.
33:00Unless we get more information, we're going to have to arraign this as a murder.
33:04Gentlemen, I'm not going to try this case in a detective squad room.
33:08Let me assure you, the absence of powder residue does not preclude a close-range weapon discharge.
33:16Nor does an apartment failing to show signs of physical struggle mean a struggle didn't happen.
33:21Now, as far as Mrs. Wagner's ostensibly soliciting Detective Kelly to kill her husband,
33:27it would take me five minutes to convince a jury that was a confused and ultimately innocuous remark.
33:35So innocuous, in fact, that at the time the detective chose not to report it.
33:41Mrs. Wagner.
33:42Talk to me, Detective Kelly, and only to me.
33:45On which subject, you should also understand that since you failed to give Mrs. Wagner her Miranda warning,
33:53nothing she said to you in her apartment last night is going to be admissible in court.
33:59She didn't need Miranda.
34:01When she talked to me, she wasn't a suspect.
34:04But when she became a suspect, I advised her to keep quiet until she had counsel.
34:09Well, that's a difference of opinion we'll take up before a judge.
34:13And you're just dying to get the bat on this one, aren't you?
34:17Pump up that bill.
34:19What do you think I should do, Detective?
34:21He's not your lawyer, Mrs. Wagner.
34:23Mrs. Wagner, I can imagine something like this.
34:26Your husband came home. He was loaded.
34:29You were afraid you were going to get another beating, so you went into the bedroom and you got the gun.
34:33When you came out, you asked him to leave, and he wouldn't.
34:37Maybe he started toward you, and so you shot him from across the room.
34:41It's like...
34:42Don't answer. She's not going to answer you, Detective.
34:45And if that's the way it happened, you better say so now.
34:48Because a DA can write this up as manslaughter.
34:52A legal aid attorney can get you easy time, maybe even off, let alone a seven-figure ace like this.
34:57You're wasting everybody's time, Detective.
35:01Mrs. Wagner, don't underestimate us.
35:03If you lie, we will nail you.
35:06Tell the truth, and I will testify for you.
35:10I will verify that you've been beaten up the night before, and that you are emotionally distraught.
35:15But this smart son of a bitch wants you to stick to your story.
35:19That's going to land you in Central Booking and Rikers Island with the whores and the junkies.
35:25Not him, you.
35:27So you make the decision.
35:29You're the one who's going to be doing the time.
35:31Lieutenant, I want him out of this room so that I can consult with my client.
35:49How's it going, guys?
35:51Were you working here last night?
35:54I come in around 11.30 to pick up the seats.
35:56Is this your place?
35:57Yeah, night guy comes on around 7 if you want to talk to him.
36:02We got information a phone call was made from here last night.
36:05You may have a connection with a robbery homicide we're investigating.
36:09Somebody overheard a guy talking on that payphone there about robbing a liquor store yesterday.
36:15Is that right?
36:16Night guy say anything to you?
36:19Anybody talk to him about overhearing a call like that?
36:22No, no.
36:23Where'd you get this information?
36:25Look, I'll ask the questions.
36:27Hey, Kyle, were you in here last night?
36:29Don't involve me in this.
36:31Is it correct to have a beer and leave the paper?
36:34Hey, hey, hey, we're only asking you.
36:36Did you hear somebody shooting out their mouth about pulling a job or the like?
36:41Absolutely not.
36:44I mind my own business.
36:45I don't interfere, and I expect to be treated that way in return.
36:51Okay, well, we just received this hot tip, and we're covering all our bases.
36:57Unless you got any more questions.
36:59Wait here.
37:11What are you talking about?
37:12We're gonna wait.
37:13That's our guy at the bar.
37:14You mean that Skel sitting by the phone?
37:16Yeah.
37:16You know, you really are in woke territory now, Supervisor.
37:19Yeah, all right.
37:20You know, you got a serious case of dick break.
37:23Yeah, and I'm telling you, that Skel at the corner knows something, huh?
37:27He's looking for us.
37:28He's been sitting there waiting for us to come in.
37:30Damn you, I've been waiting for you around here.
37:31There he is.
37:33Hey.
37:33Hey, pal.
37:35Hey, yo.
37:36Hey, pal, come on.
37:38I want to ask you a question.
37:38What do you want?
37:39What have I done?
37:39I just want to talk to you a second.
37:41I just want to ask you a question.
37:43What's your name?
37:43Dwight, this is like the Gestapo.
37:45This is like a World War II movie in Germany.
37:47You phoned that tip in, didn't you, Dwight, huh?
37:49You left the message, and you've been sitting in there waiting for us to come in.
37:53I don't know what you're talking about.
37:55Listen to me, Dwight.
37:56Listen to me now.
37:58Now, you made that call.
38:00I know it, my partner knows it, and you know it.
38:02So let's stop kidding each other, huh?
38:05I don't know anything, and I don't want to...
38:07Just settle down.
38:09Boy, you think a person who lives alone and keeps to himself wouldn't get involved with something like this?
38:14Well, you are involved, Dwight, because you made that call, right?
38:17Now, tell me what you know about that robbery, and we'll figure the best way to keep your name out of it.
38:23Come on!
38:30All I know is that I wish he would move out.
38:33Who?
38:34Who'd move out of where?
38:35Frank Archer, out of Delaware Arms.
38:39On 46th?
38:41Yeah.
38:42Yeah, what?
38:43Come on.
38:43What if I told you that he fired a gun off in his room the other night?
38:49He shot a bullet into the wall.
38:50I share that wall.
38:51I have adult onset diabetes.
38:53How do you think I felt?
38:55What did he shoot the gun off for, Dwight?
38:57Why ask me?
38:59I'm the one who was foolish enough to walk out and see if he was all right after I heard the gunshot.
39:03It works, he says he's walking down the hall with a gun in his hand, drunk as a skunk.
39:09He's three sheets to the wind.
39:11That was the night before last.
39:13Yeah.
39:14Then last night here he walks into the shamrock, big as life, being a big shot.
39:19Telling some woman on the phone how he just robbed a liquor store, wearing a fake mustache, and he just came into a lot of money.
39:25How tall is this gang, Dwight?
39:42Six foot three.
39:55Until just recently I was a tenant here in the building, but tonight I'm going to be speaking to you as a police officer
40:04about some of the things that you can do to make yourselves and your building more safe.
40:10On the table I put some literature which talks about the different locks and bolts we think are most effective
40:17and some of the precautions you can take while entering and exiting the common areas of the building,
40:24elevators, hallways, stairs, things like that.
40:28In terms of the unpleasant reality of actually being accosted, most of you know that Mr. Goldstein of Apartment 4B
40:36just recently curtailed the mugging career of a perpetrator who had victimized some of the tenants here in the building.
40:47Mr. Goldstein happened to have a gun on him while he was doing his laundry and the thief attempted to rob him.
40:53And he used it, and on that occasion it worked for him.
40:58But I must tell you that we don't think it's a good idea.
41:02Our recommendation is give it up.
41:05Whatever they're looking for, money, jewelry, give it up, call us, and we'll do our job.
41:11Now, having said that, having given you those warnings,
41:17I want to say don't live afraid.
41:22Don't hide.
41:23Don't be angry.
41:25And don't go out and look for vengeance on those people who break the law.
41:31Those are just other ways of giving up your freedom the same way you would if you were victimized by violence.
41:37Now, it's easy for me to, easy for me to stand here and say these things and tell you how to live your lives
41:45and tell you not to react to the things that happened to you.
41:50And I would never put myself up as an expert on how to not hold on to things.
41:56My dad was shot down on the street, so I tend to be a little bit more careful.
42:12Maybe a little bit overprotective.
42:16To the point of, uh, maybe cramping another person's style.
42:28So, anyway, uh, my point is that, uh, this is your city.
42:36This is your city.
42:38Not the bad guys.
42:40This is your life.
42:41So, be free.
42:49Live it as free as you can.
42:52And, uh, we'll be there for you.
42:56And, uh, we'll try not to get in your way.
43:04Okay?
43:10Push this man right.
43:11I didn't do anything.
43:13No, no, you didn't do anything.
43:15We didn't find seven travelers.
43:17Jackson Dorsted had a liquor store lying on the floor of your pigsty room, huh?
43:21And this isn't a gun, no.
43:23And it doesn't caliber match with the piece that broke those people in that store.
43:27And it stinks from being just shot off, no.
43:30But you didn't do anything, huh?
43:32And you didn't fuge all over my shoes.
43:34And the bottom of my pants.
43:36You miserable piece of crap, you.
43:38Wait a second, wait a second.
43:39There he comes again.
43:43Here.
43:44Get him over there.
43:48Get him over there.
43:52How bad are you going to make me look like this?
43:55What are you talking about?
43:56Don't play with me, Zipperwitz.
43:58I busted the wrong guy.
43:59You got me by the balls.
44:01Yeah, that's what I'm asking, Walker.
44:02I want all the credit.
44:03I want to climb over your back.
44:04I'm hoping I can still make chief.
44:06Look, you made a wrong idea.
44:12It happens.
44:13Nobody's looking to hurt you.
44:15As far as I'm concerned, picking up this asshole was your idea, all right?
44:19Hey, hey.
44:20You hit my shoes one more time, I'm going to fracture your skull.
44:23All right, you got him?
44:29Yeah, I got him.
44:40What was that?
44:42New suspect in that liquor store shooting.
44:46Note his height.
44:47Note the murder weapon.
44:49Way to go, Andy.
44:50Yeah, anybody asks, it was Walker's collar.
44:57Team player, then I am.
45:01You going to Hanson's racket tonight?
45:04I'll stick my face in.
45:09Mrs. Wagner's asked to make a statement.
45:11I want it on record.
45:13It's against advice of counsel.
45:20I did not plan to kill my husband.
45:32We were extremely unhappy together.
45:35We'd been unhappy for a long time.
45:39And I'd often, I suppose, I actually did often wish that he would die.
45:45I remember seven times in the past few years that he beat me with his fists very badly.
45:55And I did frequently wish that he were dead.
46:00Or that the relationship would be over.
46:04And I did say that I wished he were dead.
46:07And that if I had come home one night and found him dead, that I'd have been glad.
46:11And I was just relieved.
46:16But in no way was I asking Detective Kelly to kill him.
46:21Describe the events of the other night that led to your husband's death.
46:31He came home and I knew he was going to beat me because of the tone of his voice and look he had in his eyes.
46:39And I was afraid.
46:49The sight of my, of my face and ear still ached and rang from where he'd hit me the other night.
47:00I went into the bedroom and I got the gun and I told him that he had to leave.
47:09Was it in your mind at that point to shoot him?
47:12No, it was not.
47:14I wanted him to leave.
47:16I just wanted him to leave me alone.
47:20I just didn't want him to hit me anymore.
47:24Tell me then what happened.
47:28He started toward me and I said, please leave.
47:31I mean it.
47:34But he never paid any attention to me.
47:38Ever.
47:40In all the years that we were together.
47:43And he came forward and I told him to stop.
47:46And I kept backing up, getting further and further away from him.
47:53And he laughed at me.
47:58And he took a step forward and I shot.
48:01I'm sorry.
48:17I'm sorry.
48:24What does that sound like?
48:26Manslaughter, too?
48:27What kind of time?
48:29I would tend to be the judges.
48:30Yeah, I know.
48:31But in terms of what you would recommend.
48:33I guess.
48:35Three years.
48:37Which you might suspend.
48:39Which you might suspend.
48:47It's a pretty soulful look, detective.
48:51What'd she do to you?
48:53Take a thorn out of your paw?
49:01I don't.
49:12I don't know.
49:17All right.
49:17What's that?
49:18Ah!
49:23Over here.
49:24There you go.
49:25Hand is broken in the eye.
49:26You are made in the eye.
49:27Oh!
49:29Hey!
49:30Yeah!
49:31How's it going?
49:38Hold that phone.
49:40Hey!
49:41Hey!
49:43Yeah!
49:45Made it.
49:46Yeah.
49:47I'm over here.
49:48Ah, no.
49:49I just...
49:50I'm gonna stop in for a second.
49:51Yeah.
49:52Well, is Hanson gonna make it?
49:53Yeah, yeah.
49:54I saw him checking some bus schedules.
49:55I don't think they mean anything.
49:59Yeah, look who's here.
50:02How you doing, Walker?
50:03Fancy you gave me the big attaboy before
50:06for making that new collar.
50:09Is that right?
50:10I gotta hand it to you, Sipper,
50:12but she stood up for me.
50:14No problem.
50:15I'm wrong about somebody I see.
50:17Hey, Walker, no problem.
50:18Case closed.
50:19You don't want to be a blood brother, huh?
50:24Hey, you're getting more ammo, man.
50:25Have some.
50:27What do you have?
50:31Club soda.
50:32Club soda and another bourbon on the rocks.
50:37Okay.
50:40You married?
50:41Not anymore.
50:43I'm married 27 years.
50:45Here you go.
50:4626 on the 4th.
50:4726 on the 4th.
50:50So you really are off the booze, huh?
50:53Yeah.
50:55I like to throw a few back.
50:56I like to have a few after 5.
51:00Yeah, that's my line in the sand.
51:02Nothing before 5.
51:04That's how I stay on top.
51:06What's that?
51:11I'm gonna get out of here.
51:13Hey, uh...
51:16What's it like?
51:18What do you mean?
51:19You know, uh...
51:21Getting off the booze.
51:23I got shot.
51:24I was unconscious.
51:26I don't recommend the approach.
51:28You go to those meetings?
51:30No.
51:31I'm doing it by the seat of my pants.
51:34I don't feel like I'm qualified to give advice.
51:38Hey, look, I don't need any advice.
51:39I figure I stick with my line in the sand,
51:42I'll probably be okay.
51:48You want a ride or something?
51:50For what?
51:51I don't need any rides.
51:53I always drive twice as careful after I have a few.
52:00I'll see you then.
52:01Yeah, see you.
52:03Will you stick around?
52:04No, I'm...
52:05I'm gonna take off.
52:06All right.
52:07Have a good time.
52:08I'll talk to you later.
52:09Yeah.
52:10Congratulations.
52:12Good.
52:13He's okay, your party.
52:20Yeah.
52:29Hey.
52:37It's a free country, right?
52:40Yeah.
52:45I, uh...
52:47Heard that you went out of your way for that society woman.
52:52Yeah, well, I didn't do it because she's a society.
52:55All I'm saying is that you knew she didn't plan to do what she did.
53:02You found it in your heart to try to understand.
53:07What happened, John?
53:09Did you have to confess before you could forgive her?
53:12You fed too much to drink.
53:14Yeah.
53:15And I'm only on my second one.
53:17I am such an easy date.
53:23I think you better give me my rights.
53:26I don't know what you're talking about.
53:28I killed Marino and his driver.
53:31I don't want to hear this from you.
53:32I'm confessing to you.
53:33I don't want to hear this from you.
53:34I'm in your hands.
53:35Did you hear what I said?
53:36I killed them and I think that in time you will forgive me.
53:42Here you go.
53:43Here you go.
53:45Yes, we're done.
53:46Yes, there was.
53:49Detective John Kelly.
53:50We've got a phone call.
53:52Phone call.
54:20What's happening?
54:21This Goldstein was on the D train.
54:23And there's this kid holding up a 46-year-old lady.
54:26Goldstein's got this target gun.
54:28Tries to stop the kid.
54:30Kid's got a gun too.
54:31Pops Goldstein twice in the belly.
54:33Did I catch anybody?
54:34No.
