00:14Alright, let's spin
00:18I got it, I got it
00:20I got it
00:22Woo!
00:24I got it, I got it
00:26I got it
00:28Woo!
00:30Get out
00:32Oh!
00:34Woo-hoo!
00:36Uh-huh, uh-huh, I got it
00:38No! I got the rules
00:40I got it, you got it
00:42What? We're out of bounds
00:44You stepped on the baseline
00:46Oh!
00:48By the rules or not, you stepped on the bounds
00:50I gave a double dribble
00:52Okay, fine, no baskets
00:54Let's go with a magnifying glass
00:56Alright, come on
00:58What's a magnifying glass going to do with it?
01:00Take the ball out, Larry
01:02Here we go
01:04Oh, I love that look you get, Nathan
01:06That big, toothy grin
01:08Larry, enough
01:10What's that grin, Nathan?
01:12He's white, who's gotta call a ticky-tack to keep even
01:14Hey, you said it, I did
01:16You want a primitive action on the basketball court too, right, Nathan?
01:18One set of rules for you and one for everybody else
01:20Larry, come on, shut your mouth
01:22Take the ball out, let's go
01:24Come on, what's everybody's problem?
01:26Sure
01:28Let's go, let's go
01:30Come on
01:32Let's go, let's go
01:34Let's go, let's go
01:36He ain't got nothing
01:38I got the jump, I got the jump
01:42Bow! Bow!
01:44Oh, man!
01:46Clean, Larry
01:48Sure
01:50Hey, Nathan
01:52I made 130,000 bucks last year
01:54How much you make delivering mail?
01:56Hey, man, Larry, I know a brother got made part in your firm instead of you
01:58But that's no cause for you to bust my balls
02:00You think that's what this is about?
02:02You think I can't hold my own against you?
02:04Hey, I don't know what this is about
02:06Why don't we just shut our mouths and go back to play?
02:08Or what, Nathan, I'll come off my mailbox?
02:10You gotta get out of my fence
02:12Look, don't do that, man
02:13Or what?
02:14Hey, man, you lay your hands on me
02:15I'm gonna show you what
02:16I ain't playing with you, man
02:17Larry! That's all you're good for is playing
02:19Larry!
02:20Hey!
02:22Hey, what are you doing?
02:24Larry?
02:25You all right?
02:27I can't believe I did that
02:29Larry!
02:31What's going on?
02:34He's in full arrest
02:36We need an ambulance
02:37John, my dad
02:38This is fun
02:42The red one?
02:43Yeah, red one
02:54Yeah, this is Detective John Kelly
02:56In the 1-5 spot
02:57I need emergency service
02:58And an EMS
02:59For a possible cardiac
03:01At the 6-3 street
03:02YMCA
03:03Second floor basketball court
03:05Yes
03:06Yes
03:07Yes

03:53What's going on?
03:54What's going on?
03:55What's going on?
03:56What's going on?
04:57Is he dead, Jerry?
05:01He's dead, isn't he?
05:07Yeah.
05:09He's dead.
05:10Oh, God.
05:19Constance's a bachelor.
05:22Does anyone know his folks?
05:24I do.
05:30206.
05:31What's that?
05:35They're equal.
05:36They live in Seattle.
05:37What did you go off on me for?
05:46I don't know, man.
05:49I don't know.
05:51Come on.
05:53Come on.
05:55You just started driving me, man.
05:56I know.
05:57I know.
05:57What was wrong with him, man?
05:59I know.
06:01I'm going to have to take you downtown.
06:06For what?
06:08They're going to want to talk to you.
06:11Talk to me about what?
06:12John, you saw what happened.
06:13I know, but you hit the guy.
06:15He went down.
06:15They're going to want to talk about it.
06:17Screw you, John.
06:18I'm not going down to that station.
06:20I'm going home.
06:20You're putting me in a bad position here, Nathan.
06:23What?
06:24I'm out of arrest?
06:25Put your voice down, will you?
06:27Okay, let's go in there, and we'll take care of it.
06:33No, you arrest me.
06:36You arrest me.
06:37You arrest me in front of our friends.
06:41All right.
06:42You're under arrest.
06:44You have the right to remain silent.
06:47You have the right to an attorney at any time.
06:51If you cannot afford one, a lawyer will be supplied for you,
06:55free of charge.
06:58Do you understand what I've just said?
07:03Do you understand me?
07:06Yeah.
07:08I understand.
07:25Assistant District Attorney Craig called.
07:35He said he'd be a few minutes late.
07:37Oh.
07:42Hey, look who's here.
07:44Mr. Giardella.
07:46Alphonse.
07:47There you go.
07:48I was about to fine you 25 cents for failing to use my first name.
07:52Fruit?
07:55Uh, no.
07:57No, thank you.
07:59So the DA's gonna be late, huh?
08:03Did you talk to him, too?
08:06Yeah, I talk to Jimmy a lot.
08:08Why shouldn't I?
08:09I gotta make sure he makes a jump on everybody in his office.
08:14You, too, Laura.
08:16Believe me, I know enough to make sure everybody looks good.
08:19I know Mr. Craig feels your information's been very productive.
08:24I got another confession I want to make to you right now.
08:28Why don't we wait on confessions until Mr. Craig gets here and we're on tape?
08:33Now, this is personal.
08:35You've been showing up in my dreams lately.
08:38Who do you belong to, anyhow?
08:40You got a husband or an old man or something?
08:42I don't think my social life is really relevant to what's going on in this room.
08:47Hey, believe me.
08:48What I've been dreaming about, believe me, it's relevant.
08:52Well.
08:54Good morning.
08:56Sorry I'm late.
08:58Me and Laura figured you were early.
09:02Shall we get started?
09:04Give me a second to pout on my nose.
09:07To be continued.
09:08Where were you?
09:16Got stuck in traffic.
09:18I didn't.
09:23What does that mean?
09:24It means this is the third time this week you've been late.
09:28Laura, if you have something on your mind, say it.
09:30I feel like I'm being dangled in front of Alphonse Giardella like a piece of meat.
09:35Am I upset that this guy has half a crush on you?
09:41No.
09:43But that does not mean I am pimping you out to him.
09:46It does not mean I am showing up late as part of some strategy to put your virtue at risk.
09:54And you're making another mistake if you think I'm pleased the two of us are standing here arguing about this.
10:01You asked me.
10:02I'm telling you how I feel.
10:04Why, why, why?
10:07Am I sensing the tension in the atmosphere here?
10:12Fine.
10:15Let's go work.
10:16What's this?
10:30I play basketball with this guy twice a week.
10:55He's a buddy of mine and he and another guy got into a beef.
11:00The other guy is, you know, so he'd been kind of a jerk getting in Nathan's face, pushing, and Nathan tried to walk away.
11:09The guy wouldn't give him any room.
11:10So, finally, Nathan takes a slugger and the guy goes down dead.
11:15What's his story?
11:18He's a good citizen, yeah.
11:20He got in some trouble when he was a kid, 18, 19 years old.
11:22What kind of trouble?
11:23No, it was a marijuana charge and a failure to appear.
11:27I think he did six months.
11:28But he's clean, Lieutenant.
11:29I mean, he's a mail carrier, you know?
11:32He's a good guy, family man.
11:36So, I read him his rights.
11:37He's a little shook up, but I think somebody else should be assigned.
11:42Meta boy's up.
11:42I'll fill him in.
11:43Okay.
11:44I just need a minute with him.
11:45Yeah.
11:45I can't do this, John.
11:52I can't go to jail, man.
11:54I know.
11:54I know.
11:55I'm going to do my best to make it easy on you, Nathan.
11:57But we've got to take a few steps here.
11:59The DA's got to look into this.
12:01We've got to what?
12:02This is Detective Meta boy.
12:04He's going to handle the case because I'm a witness.
12:08So, you want to make a statement, you give it to him.
12:10I'm not going to make any statement, and I'm not going to do anything.
12:14I have to write up a statement.
12:15Well, what about me, man?
12:17Well, you're going to be here for a while until the DA decides what to do.
12:22I'll put you in an interview room while we interview the witnesses.
12:26You're going to lock me up?
12:28In an interview room?
12:29Yeah, but he'll be able to change his clothes in there and get coffee.
12:34Yeah.
12:36You're going to lock me up?
12:38I got it, man.
12:40I got to lock you up.
12:45All right.
12:45I'll talk to you later.
12:48Sure you will.
12:49John, we got a homicide and FDR at Pearl Street.
13:15You want me to grab Martinez?
13:18No, let me just get some calls.
13:20Listen, did you get squared away on your buddy?
13:25Yeah.
13:26I gave it a Meta boy.
13:28Look at this.
13:29I'm ankle deep in water over here.
13:31It's full of hair.
13:33I'm telling you, somebody's hair keeps clogging up the drain.
13:37You know, like I said, we'll lose you out as a suspect.
13:39Boy, that's really funny.
13:49Funny.
13:49Mr. Zimmer, I'm Detective Kelly.
14:06This is Detective Sipowitz.
14:07I know this is a hard time for you.
14:09Never heard anyone, not as long as I knew her.
14:12Do you feel like answering any questions?
14:14We're just driving, just talking.
14:17I heard a noise.
14:19Must have been the gunshot.
14:22I turned around, Jones beating all over her face.
14:26Next second, I lost control and crashed the car.
14:30Did she say anything?
14:30No, I mean, half her head's gone.
14:36Just heard the one shot?
14:38I think so.
14:39I don't know.
14:39There might have been more.
14:41Did you notice any of the cars around you, makes, drivers?
14:46No.
14:47Anybody driving erratically or anything?
14:50No.
14:50Where were you headed?
14:52I was into my mother-in-law's to pick up the baby.
14:57God, what am I going to say to her?
15:03Does she have any dispute at work, promotion, raise, something like that?
15:08Some maternity leave?
15:10No.
15:11How about you?
15:12Anybody mad at you?
15:14No.
15:16What kind of business are you in?
15:18Electronic services.
15:20She's dead.
15:22She's dead?
15:24Let's go get your baby.
15:26Come on, we'll get you a ride.
15:28Come on.
15:29Let's take your time.
15:47Crime scene puts one bullet in the right side of the woman's head.
15:51Pieces of a hollow point and one bullet recovered from the seat back and front, 9mm.
15:56Ballistics is pretty sure it was a flat trajectory.
16:00Bullets got to have come from another car.
16:02How's the husband check out?
16:04We're still pulling stuff in.
16:05The borough commander okayed a canvas of the motorists off that exit ramp this morning.
16:10You'll have assistance from the highway patrol cops, and you can use Martinez.
16:15Kid's making it to an okay cop.
16:17Yeah.
16:19Don't give him any bad habits.
16:20I'm going to meet you out there.
16:28I'm going to make Nathan's arraignment.
16:29No problem.
16:30Kelly, it's postponed to this afternoon.
16:34The arraignment?
16:35How come?
16:36Yeah, your friend punched out a prison guard and then tried to run.
16:40They're filing supplementary charges.
16:44Is the guard hurt?
16:45Yeah, they said some stitches next to the eye.
16:51Thanks for keeping me posted.
16:53Sure.
16:56Judy.
16:57Why did they postpone Nathan's arraignment?
17:01Well, evidently, uh, there was some kind of altercation with the guard.
17:06Between Nathan and a guard?
17:08Yeah, evidently.
17:09I called you.
17:10You didn't get my messages?
17:12I got them.
17:15The district attorney said that they're going to charge him with homicide.
17:20Now, that's just a category they use when they go before the grand jury.
17:24Once the medical report is in, I can testify.
17:26Is that supposed to reassure me?
17:30I can't be at the late arraignment.
17:31But I will definitely see Nathan later.
17:35And if you get to talk to him in court, please tell him to calm down, because it's only going to make it worse.
17:42He left yesterday morning to go play basketball.
17:49I know.
17:50I'm sorry.
17:53Judy.
17:53Judy.
17:53Judy.
17:53Judy.
18:01For God's sake, Nathan's moving.
18:05I've got to make a living.
18:06Morning.
18:08Were you driving in the city about the same time yesterday?
18:12I'm from Phoenix.
18:13Okay.
18:14Were you here yesterday?
18:16Miles, let me be.
18:16Let's go.
18:17What are you doing?
18:18Let's go.
18:19Are you running yesterday?
18:20Come on.
18:21What are you putting on your lunch break?
18:23Let's go already.
18:24Come on.
18:25Move in.
18:26This guy with the boys are playing in his hands.
18:28Oh, man.
18:29Come on.
18:29I got to move.
18:30Hey, hey, hey, hey.
18:32How about you just relax there, pal?
18:34We just want to ask you a few questions.
18:36Yeah, I heard, all right?
18:37The answer's no.
18:38So go suckers and daughters to get out of my way.
18:40Hey, hey, hey.
18:41Hey, you bitch.
18:44Hey, pal.
18:45Get out of my way.
18:46Come here.
18:47Let him go.
18:49We're radio ahead, Andy.
19:00Hands on the wheel.
19:18What the hell are you chasing me for?
19:19Step out of the vehicle and give me your license and registration.
19:22What do you want?
19:22Get over there.
19:23Who do you want?
19:24Get over there.
19:24All right, all right, all right.
19:25Give me your license.
19:25All right, just right.
19:26Take it easy.
19:27All right.
19:29Let's see your hands.
19:31All right.
19:31Now, we're going to talk about that finger right there, the one in the middle that you
19:35were sticking up in the air over there.
19:37Now, what was that all about?
19:38You know, traffic all screwed up.
19:40I'm in a rush.
19:41Oh, OK.
19:42So you were trying to help, huh?
19:44You were pointing at something that you thought would help clear up the traffic.
19:48Is that correct?
19:49Yeah, something like that.
19:50All right, then say so.
19:51I was trying to help.
19:53I was trying to help.
19:54OK.
19:55Now, I'm going to ask you a few questions about a shooting that happened yesterday, and
19:59then maybe we'll go have some coffee and suck on a donut.
20:04I'm from Brooklyn.
20:05I never left there yesterday.
20:06Oh, now, you see, I didn't even ask you that question yet, Harvey.
20:11Now, we're going to have to start all over again.
20:13I mean, you do want to help, don't you, Harvey?
20:15Yeah, sure.
20:16All right, then say so.
20:17I want to help.
20:18I want to help.
20:20Good.
20:21Now, relax.
20:23You shouldn't take any more than 10, 15 minutes.
20:27Half hour tops.
20:29Mr. Zimmer.
20:37What?
20:38You think I get it?
20:39Hey, whoa, now, take it easy.
20:41Am I a suspect or what?
20:43You calling my friends, my relatives?
20:45Mr. Zimmer, you conduct an investigation by eliminating things.
20:49We're looking into every possibility and motive for how your wife got shot.
20:52I think you'd want us to do that.
20:54Nobody's singling you out.
20:55I mean, we're checking cars off the highway, looking for witnesses, checking into past shootings in the area.
21:01Making any progress?
21:02Anything comes up, we'll let you know.
21:04Well, I mean, I hope at least you've ruled me out.
21:06I hope you got that far.
21:08We'll keep you posted.
21:09Oh, that's great.
21:10I see my wife murdered in front of me.
21:13I got a three-month-old daughter I got to take care of.
21:15I'm trying to get my life back together.
21:16I got to go through being hounded and persecuted by you people.
21:25It's a natural reaction, right?
21:28So how come I make this guy a jerk?
21:31Kelly, Sipwitz, give me a minute.
21:47Kelly and Sipwitz, you know LaCausie and Lucas.
21:50Hey, God.
21:51Hey, sir.
21:51Lucas and LaCausie were working street conditions.
21:54They busted a couple of street dealers who rolled and gave up the address of a heroin cutting room when the schedule dropped.
22:01We're going to pull a search warrant and go for it.
22:03When would that be?
22:05The mechanics and baggers should be there about 10 o'clock tonight.
22:09Can everybody make 10 o'clock work?
22:11Sure, no problem.
22:12There goes my Wednesday glee club.
22:14I didn't ask for you.
22:25You just brought the information you looked at.
22:26I got no problem working with you.
22:29You sure?
22:30Yeah, I'm sure.
22:34Okay.
22:35There ain't no Florida visitors.
22:59You can't unhook him.
23:18He went after one of our guys.
23:20He wears iron as long as he's here.
23:21Yeah, I went by, uh, Patelos.
23:41What you want here, man?
23:45I'm your friend, Nathan.
23:47Yeah, you've been a big help so far.
23:54I'm also a cop.
23:56So this about the hell you've been through, John?
23:59Walking that line?
24:00No, this is about you and how you gotta stop acting like an asshole in here.
24:05I'm acting like an asshole?
24:07When you out there sucking fresh air and bringing me food like I'm a damn monkey in a zoo,
24:11and you talking about how I'm supposed to behave?
24:12Somebody's got to.
24:13Now, what was the point of slugging this guard?
24:17He put his hands on me.
24:19That is stupid, Nathan.
24:21That is acting like a con.
24:25What a true job.
24:27If you had a hit, Larry, would you be in here now?
24:30Better yet, if I was your brother, would I be in here now?
24:33Nathan, I did what I thought I had to do on the basketball court.
24:38But for the sake of argument, let's just say I did let you down.
24:41Is that any excuse to throw away the rest of your life?
24:44My life has already been taken away.
24:46There is a lot we can do.
24:48You never meant to hurt Larry.
24:50You were provoked.
24:51A grand jury, Nathan, will probably see that.
24:54And it's no secret Larry was a loudmouth douchebag.
24:57May he rest in peace.
24:59Plus, there's the guard.
25:00I'm going to reach out to him, and maybe he will cut you some slack.
25:08You think there's a chance of that?
25:10How bad was it between you two?
25:14I hit him.
25:15He got cut.
25:16You know, man, the last 13 years have been like a dream or something, man.
25:36Judy, my babies.
25:39Steady gig.
25:41It's no dream, Nathan.
25:45I want him back, man.
25:53I want him back.
25:56Okay, well, then you got to stop messing up in here.
26:00You understand me?
26:02Yeah.
26:03You all right?
26:06You want the food?
26:16Let's do me a favor, man.
26:22Get me out of here.
26:33This is the police.
26:52We have a war.
26:53You have 10 seconds to open that door.
26:568, 9, 10, hit it.
27:00Please, please, please.
27:01Please, please.
27:02Police.
27:19Fight!
27:29Ah.
27:30now the shooting technique employed by detective kelly this evening
27:59isn't taught in the training here.
28:02Yeah, no, I developed it personally.
28:05Yeah.
28:06This technique is known as immobilization patterning, right?
28:11Yeah, it requires complete control and command of your weapon.
28:15The idea being that you peg shots around the body perimeter of the perpetrator,
28:22causing them to freeze up and become immobile.
28:24Hey.
28:24Yeah, it grew out of watching hatchet throwers at carnivals when I was a kid.
28:35All right, I gotta make a trip right around.
28:39I'm out, detective.
28:40No, yeah?
28:41Yeah, my wife gets all shipped to the hospital, so I don't pick her up.
28:45Okay, next time.
28:46Good work tonight, man.
28:47Thanks.
28:48Good work.
28:49All right.
28:50Boy, you eat a lot of spinach, huh?
28:52Good night.
28:55See you later.
28:56There you go.
28:56Yeah.
28:59So, uh, what do you say?
29:06Two more.
29:07All right.
29:08A couple beers and another club, so...
29:14Well, I've been leaving you alone like you asked me to.
29:18I know.
29:19And I appreciate it.
29:20But I've been thinking about you a lot.
29:25I've been thinking about you, too.
29:27I've been thinking that we should talk.
29:30It's been my inclination for a while, too.
29:34My marriage is over, so...
29:37You know, I've been alone too much, and it would be nice to have somebody to be with and talk to.
29:47I know.
29:47See, the thing is, uh, with Marino and the other dead guy aside, my problem is...
29:58You approached me because he told you to, right?
30:04Okay.
30:06But we wound up in bed because I wanted to be there.
30:09And I want to believe that.
30:10Believe it.
30:11What about the two dead guys in the car?
30:17They told me to kill you.
30:20I didn't feel like I had any other choice but to do what I did.
30:25I'm not saying I didn't know that there were other ways to go.
30:28But with the situation with my father, I didn't feel like I could turn them in.
30:35I've gone over and over this, John, and I just...
30:38All right, no, all right, all right.
30:40I hear you.
30:42I hear you.
30:48I guess I could, uh, take forever to make my mind up about us, huh?
30:53Meanwhile, our lives are going by.
30:59You take as much time as you need, John.
31:04I'm not going anywhere.
31:06Nice collars, you boys.
31:08Yeah, thanks.
31:10Hey, hey.
31:15Bring them on.
31:19There you go, yeah.
31:20Yeah.
31:23There you go, yeah.
31:53Well, Lieutenant, uh, canvas of motorists yesterday you know about?
32:04No progress?
32:05No.
32:07Uh, follow-up canvas of the areas completed.
32:10No witnesses or information there either.
32:13On Gerald Zimmer, he's got decent credit.
32:15No apparent money problems.
32:17His insurance, if anything, he's underinsured.
32:19He had a term insurance policy on himself for $200,000 and $35,000 on his wife.
32:26Took those out in May.
32:28How would you proceed?
32:30If someone made me guess, I'd say it was a random pot shot from another vehicle.
32:33Well, I suppose I'd work up requesting information flyers for the neighborhood.
32:38I don't know what else there'd be to do.
32:40Work up the flyers, give them to the uniformed for us to distribute twice a week.
32:44All right.
32:46All right.
32:47You guys, put yourselves back on the wheel.
32:49Good, kid.
32:50Start catching new cases.
32:55Thanks for the help, Martinez.
32:57No problem, Lieutenant.
32:58I'm going over to Nathan's grand jury area.
33:01Listen, I hope all that works out.
33:04Thanks.
33:04Well, Martinez, you got that work up on the husband?
33:08Yeah, I'll take care of it.
33:09Yeah.
33:11I want to agitate this guy a little.
33:14What are you thinking?
33:15Uh, I don't know.
33:17He rubs me the wrong way.
33:19I'll see you later.
33:21Yeah.
33:28Ah, Mr. Zimmer.
33:31Detective Sipowicz, 1-5 squad.
33:34Yeah, how you doing?
33:35No, I wish I could tell you that there was a breakthrough.
33:40We're, uh, we're just following up on a few things here.
33:44Listen, we saw that you recently took out an insurance policy on your wife.
33:50I wanted to ask you, was there a particular...
33:54Whoa.
33:55Whoa, hey, hey, hey, Mr. Zimmer.
33:56You want to ease off on the profanity?
33:59I didn't say that.
34:01No one is accusing you of anything.
34:03No, no, we took notice because you took out that policy on her pretty recently.
34:11Uh-huh.
34:13There's a rider on your own policy, virtually a freebie.
34:17All right.
34:18All right, I see.
34:19Yeah, well, I suppose that might explain it.
34:23Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Zimmer, now I'm talking to you in a respectful way.
34:29And I'm making legitimate inquiries here.
34:32So I don't know what you're getting so excited about.
34:34I mean, uh, you don't have anything to hide now, do you?
34:39Yeah, you seem to fly off the handle anytime anybody wants to talk to you.
34:43No, I didn't say you had anything to hide.
34:48I said, if you don't, I wonder why you're so, uh, irritable.
34:54All right.
34:55Well, I'm sorry you feel harassed.
34:59Here you go.
34:59Yeah.
35:01I'll say goodbye now.
35:02All right.
35:03Yeah.
35:04I'll be in touch.
35:05The other named witnesses and myself were playing in a three-on-three basketball game.
35:17Most of us are close friends, and the game has been going on for years.
35:22This day, there was a dispute over some calls.
35:26The deceased began pushing Mr. Foster, and it had become verbally abusive to him.
35:31When Mr. Foster attempted to walk away, the decedent continued to push.
35:38Finally, Mr. Foster punched him in the face once.
35:43He went down to the floor and immediately into arrest.
35:49He was pronounced officially dead about 20 minutes later.
35:52Detective Kelly, did you see the decedent assault or threaten Mr. Foster in any way
35:57prior to Mr. Foster striking the blow?
36:00The decedent was making racial remarks and repeatedly pushing Mr. Foster.
36:05Did it appear to you on your professional capacity that Mr. Foster was at risk or felt
36:10himself to be at risk because of this pushing?
36:13That he was attempting to defend himself?
36:16I don't think he was at risk.
36:19I think he was attempting to fend off Mr. Constance.
36:21I didn't ask you if he was attempting to fend him off.
36:24I asked you if he was defending himself.
36:26Okay, look, I want to be very clear about what happened here because I don't want to
36:31cause these families any additional undue grief.
36:34This was not a violent or vicious confrontation.
36:38One man was being verbally provoked and repeatedly pushed.
36:42He struck a blow in response to that.
36:44The result was out of all proportion with the intent.
36:48I made the arrest because that's my job, not because I thought I saw a homicide.
36:54But in answer to my specific question, your professional opinion is that the blow, while
37:01it may have been provoked by irritation or anger, was not struck in self-defense.
37:10Detective.
37:11I suppose you could say that.
37:16Excuse me, officer.
37:25Hey, guys.
37:27How's it going there?
37:29We'll see.
37:31You sent Ruth to Seattle?
37:34Yeah.
37:34Yeah, I spoke to Constance's mother.
37:36They got what was on the card.
37:39He always had a big mouth.
37:42We just put with sympathy in all our names.
37:44Where's Curly?
37:45We need him.
37:46Well, he said he'd be here.
37:47Was Nathan in there?
37:49No, he's going to be at the arraignment this afternoon for the other charge.
37:51I'm going to find this guard.
37:52He had the beef with her, okay?
37:54But please, call Curly.
37:55We need him here.
37:56He'll be here, John.
37:57He'll be here.
38:01Call him again, will you?
38:02Yeah, I'm going to be here.
38:02All right.
38:06Hello.
38:08Yeah, I'm fine.
38:10Yes, you do.
38:11Mr. Zimmer.
38:13What's going on?
38:14Yeah, I'm back.
38:14What's going on is you're going to stop badgering me.
38:18You're going to put an end to the persecution and the subtle accusations and the innuendo.
38:23That's a great vocabulary you got there.
38:26Want to tell me what's on your mind?
38:28I've taken a lie detector test, detective.
38:31I'm giving you the results.
38:33I'm asking you to leave me alone.
38:35Norman Holmgren gave you the test, huh?
38:40I told you the department uses them regularly.
38:43Yeah, we do.
38:44It's a good examiner.
38:45Uh, why don't you come on upstairs a minute, Mr. Zimmer.
38:50No, I think we've finished our business, detective.
38:53Oh, come on.
38:54We can, uh, can we have a cup of coffee while I, uh, while I look this over?
39:02Come on.
39:03We'll be more comfortable up there.
39:05Boy, you answered this test with flying colors, didn't you?
39:16Yes, I did.
39:17These needles didn't even budge.
39:20Did you kill your wife, Joan?
39:21No.
39:22Examiner's opinion, subject answered truthfully.
39:25Did you fire a gun?
39:26No.
39:27Answered truthfully.
39:28Were you involved in any way in a plan to kill your wife?
39:31No.
39:31Did you intend to kill your wife?
39:34No.
39:35Subject answered truthfully.
39:37Subject answered truthfully is right.
39:39All right.
39:41And can I go now?
39:42Hey, you're free to go whenever you want, Mr. Zimmer.
39:45Suppose I set up a test now, down at Police Plaza.
39:49Could you go downtown with me, Mr. Zimmer?
39:51What kind of a test?
39:52Another lie detector test.
39:53What for?
39:54Did you write out the questions on this test you just took?
39:58Look, this test was administered by a reputable polygraph examiner.
40:03You still insist on questioning my honesty?
40:05You insist on harassing me?
40:07You see, if it was me, now, I'd have asked, do you know more about your wife's death than
40:12you've told the police?
40:13Now, that one I definitely would have had on there.
40:15Read the report.
40:16I was not involved.
40:17What is tearing you up inside, Mr. Zimmer, huh?
40:21What are you doing here?
40:23What do you need to tell me?
40:24I don't need to tell you anything.
40:26Now, look.
40:28I'm not here to judge you, Mr. Zimmer.
40:31Maybe you were fooling around on your wife.
40:33Is that what we're talking about, huh?
40:35Did you maybe have a jealous mistress did this and you didn't know anything that she
40:39had planned?
40:40That'd give you the clear polygraph test.
40:43And that'd make you feel real terrible now.
40:45Oh, my God.
40:46Is that what we're talking about?
40:48Why didn't I kill her?
40:51Okay, now, uh, Mr. Zimmer, now, I'm informing you right now that you have a right to an attorney.
40:56I don't understand.
40:57Now, you be quiet a second.
40:59Now, if you don't want an attorney, I have to hear you decline.
41:02I decline an attorney.
41:04I decline.
41:09Tell me how you killed her.
41:12She begged me.
41:14She begged me to stop.
41:16I still killed her.
41:18What did you do?
41:21The man passed me.
41:23He cut me off.
41:25This is on the FDR drive.
41:27The son of a bitch.
41:28He cut me off and he got in front of me.
41:31So I came up on the inside and I got back in front of him.
41:36I cut him off the way he cut me off.
41:39And then this kept on for a while.
41:42He tried to pass me.
41:43I sped up and trapped him inside of him.
41:46Another car, or this, he got behind me and I slowed down and trapped him again.
41:52And he's blinking his lights.
41:53He's making obscene gestures and so on.
41:56And she's screaming at me to stop.
41:58But I lost my temper.
42:01And he came up on the inside.
42:04I sped up and tried to trap him again.
42:06And the next thing I knew.
42:07You know the last thing she said to me?
42:19Your wife and the mother of your child is in this car.
42:22Will you please stop?
42:24And then I heard a gunshot.
42:29And my wife's face is covered with...
42:34Can you help us with the guy?
42:43Yes, I saw him.
42:50I got the license plate.
42:53I was too ashamed to tell you.
42:56Yeah.
43:09No.
43:10Got him?
43:11Thanks a lot.
43:12Yeah.
43:13Is that the guy who wasted Zima's wife?
43:16And the gun.
43:17So how'd you make out with Nathan?
43:21Grand jury didn't indict.
43:23Medical examiner found a dissecting aneurysm.
43:27What's that in English?
43:30Poor bastards.
43:31They ought to blow up like a cheap balloon, Andy.
43:33He could have died coughing.
43:35So your pal's off the hook?
43:36Except for the assault on the corrections officer.
43:41Kelly.
43:44Yeah.
43:45Okay.
43:45I'll be right there.
43:47I'll be back.
43:58You Kelly?
43:59Yeah.
44:00I'm hard with corrections.
44:01What can I do for you?
44:03How's the eye?
44:04A couple of stitches.
44:05Headache.
44:06I've been there before.
44:07Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that.
44:09Why?
44:10You don't have the paper on it.
44:11It's in the Fifth Precinct.
44:13Yeah, I know.
44:14And I spoke to Detective Lugo,
44:15and he knows that I reached out to you.
44:23Nathan Foster is a friend of mine.
44:25The guy who hit me?
44:27Yeah.
44:27I wanted to see if I could explain things to you.
44:30Like what?
44:31He's sorry.
44:32He didn't mean it.
44:33He'll never do it again.
44:34He's a postal worker.
44:36And a family man.
44:37And he's living a clean life.
44:39Me too.
44:40I got all those things too.
44:42Does that make it okay for me to take a piece out of you?
44:45You're pissed off.
44:46I understand that I would be too.
44:48I looked this guy up.
44:50He's been in jail before.
44:51As a teenager.
44:52My point is, the guy was no virgin.
44:55He knew how it works.
44:57He broke the big one.
44:59He hit the man.
45:00And I ain't here to be hit or damaged.
45:03I know that, and he does too.
45:06You're sure of that, huh?
45:08You know what's in this guy's mind?
45:11Hardwick, this guy was looking at his whole life going down the drain.
45:16He went off for a second.
45:18Now, the charges that brought him in have been dismissed.
45:22Do you think you can find it in your heart to cut him a break?
45:27See you in court.
45:40Okay, Mr. Zimmerman, whenever you're ready.
45:43If you recognize anyone, just give us his number.
45:46Four.
46:02Number four.
46:03How do you know this man?
46:06That's the man that shot my wife.
46:08You're sure?
46:10I'm sure.
46:13Get a DA, start the paperwork.
46:15Hell of a job.
46:17Thanks for your cooperation.
46:22Okay, Mr. Zimmerman, let's go.
46:24Just, uh, let me have a minute, all right?
46:27You okay?
46:28Yeah.
46:30All right.
46:31You killed my wife!
46:45You killed her right!
46:46You!
46:47You!
46:49You!
46:49You jerk!
46:51You!
46:51Shut her in the face.
46:53Oh, you still pull over and let me pass.
46:55I've got as much weight to be in that road as you can.
46:58Oh, jeez, pal.
47:01Hey!
47:02You guys want me to get a couple of those kitty car steering wheels
47:05and you can go at it again?
47:08Huh? Is that what you want?
47:17Officer, do you swear to the truth of the affidavit?
47:21I do.
47:22Charges are felonious assault and escape.
47:24Your Honor, the people have agreed to drop the charge of escape.
47:28Motions as to the assault?
47:30People wish to proceed as a felony.
47:32Objection, Your Honor.
47:33I'll schedule a hearing for late next week.
47:38Bail is $20,000. Can you make that, Mr. Foster?
47:42No, I cannot, Your Honor.
47:45Um, can I say something, Your Honor?
47:49I'll give you a minute's grace and advise you and your attorney
47:54that any statements are for the record.
47:57Thank you, Your Honor.
47:58Uh, I was involved in a fight with a friend a few days ago, and he died.
48:07No, you face no charges here but assault on a prison guard, Mr. Foster.
48:11Yeah, I know that, Your Honor.
48:13And as much as I would like, I can't relive that day or bring that person back,
48:20even though the grand jury found that it wasn't my fault.
48:24Then, uh, this man, the guard, who was just doing his job, Your Honor, I understand that.
48:35But he was putting me back into a life I felt I had earned my way out of.
48:40And I got very scared.
48:45And I tried to get away.
48:49Now, I should have never hit him.
48:51And for that, I am deeply sorry.
48:55I apologize.
48:56I apologize.
48:57But, Your Honor, I'm asking.
49:07Can I have my family back?
49:12Can I have my life back?
49:16I've tried very hard to make a life.
49:23Please.
49:27Your Honor, the people are willing to reduce the charge to misdemeanor assault,
49:46and they have no objection to parole.
49:51Parole.
49:51Pending a hearing or plea.
49:53Great.
49:58Thanks so much for your help.
49:59Congratulations.
50:05All right.
50:11Thanks.
50:12Okay.
50:12Okay.
50:41Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
50:59It's been five weeks since my last confession.
51:03These are my sins.
51:06For your own good, which is God's glory,
51:09I think you should try to get in here a little more often, hmm?
51:15This situation that you're familiar with,
51:18I'm glad it's resolved.
51:24Well, starting off with the death the way it did,
51:26that was terrible enough.
51:29It didn't need to get any worse.
51:33I wanted to talk to you about something else.
51:39Uh-huh.
51:39I know the church still regards me as married,
51:47and I've been working on it.
51:51You know that.
51:53But it's not going to work out.
51:56Well, you understand someone else?
51:59I'm not sure.
52:03I mean, yeah, I am.
52:04The doctrine is to work on your marriage.
52:09And I have been.
52:12But Laura and I know that
52:14it's not going to work.
52:20Well, your involvement with this other woman, is it, uh...
52:25The other woman, I mean, in terms of my romantic interest for her,
52:29I don't want to talk about that right now.
52:31And in what terms, then?
52:37Well, she's a good person.
52:38But certain events have taken place,
52:43and she's ended up doing something
52:44that most people would think is wrong.
52:47Do you think it's wrong?
52:48Yeah, I do.
52:53Does she?
52:58So far, she seems okay with it.
53:01Well, if she's the good person you say she is,
53:03she can't be okay with it.
53:04You know that.
53:05I don't know that.
53:06Well, I think that's why you're here.
53:08Well, what exactly did she do?
53:13I don't want to talk about that.
53:15Well, a venial sin, a mortal sin, what?
53:17I can't say.
53:18I'm your priest.
53:19What do you mean you can't say?
53:20I can't say.
53:22Yeah?
53:22Well, then why don't you come back here
53:23when you're ready to stop acting like a tube stick?
53:34John.
53:34I, uh, expressed myself inappropriately,
53:40and, uh, I regret it.
53:45Because you're my friend,
53:47you have a special way of pissing me off.
53:52I know.
53:57See, in there,
53:59I'm God's priest and intermediary.
54:04When you come to confession with God,
54:08you come with an open heart.
54:14Which, uh,
54:16I know you can do.
54:20I'll keep working on it.
54:22I know you will.
54:28Ah.
54:31Ladies.
54:31You know,
54:35I do believe I have a, uh,
54:36special vocation for the game.
54:40Curly,
54:41I think you have a special vocation
54:43for everything you do.
54:46Oh!
54:48We might as well start
54:49a little two-on-two.
54:51Nathan won't show.
54:53Ah, come on, man.
54:53Let's wait a while.
54:54Yeah, yeah.
54:56He will be here.
54:58What makes you think so?
55:00Because I think so.
55:02Even if he shows up,
55:04we'll need a sixth.
55:05We'll never find the right guy.
55:07You guys,
55:08let me ask you something.
55:09You ever have a positive thought?
55:11Yeah.
55:13Cancer specialists
55:14don't tend to be optimists.
55:16Hey, hey,
55:16look who's here, guys.
55:18Hey, guys.
55:19Yo.

55:27Good to see you.
55:28Hey, what's up, boss?
55:34Whose side you on?
55:36Yes, you.
55:37For a little while, anyway.
55:40We need a sixth man.
55:43Hey, fella.
55:44You play?
55:46Nah, not very well.
55:49But that never stops you guys.
55:51Oh.
55:52Come on.
55:54He's going to be hurt.
