Okay, item one,
our murderous friend
stomped a fellow drunk to death
outside the Shannon Bar
after a beef
about Derek Jeter's
proper place
in the Yankees'
constellation.
We've had more Crimestopper
sightings on this guy
than the Abominable Snowman.
So, apparently, he's still
around.
If it were me,
I would have left for parts
unknown ASAP,
but guys like this rarely come
with PhDs attached.
Both our own 2-2 squad
and North Homicide
are out there hunting.
Keep your eyes peeled,
especially you rookies on
footpost.
He's hard to miss.
Item two,
Barton Prep over on 112th,
some students have been getting
tuned up
and robbed on their way home,
most likely by kids
from Herbert Walcott,
the public high school on 114th.
Sergeant Howard's
Anti-Crime squad
and select plainclothes
friends are setting up
over at Barton.
Maybe we can
catch some of these
junior strong-armers
in flagrante delicto.
In flagrante?
Can they just go and do that?
If both parties are over 18.
Except in Connecticut,
where you got to be 21.
My point being
if you're not patrolling
the Barton Prep/Walcott area,
steer clear
so our guys can do their job.
All right, get out there.
No loitering and stay safe.
Some of these idiots would have
to study to pass a blood test.
They're just kidding around.
I don't know.
I feel
like I'm losing brain cells
by the bucketload.
What crawled up your
butt this morning?
Yeah? Well, you tell me what
"in flagrante delicto" means.
"To catch in the act," Mensa boy.
That true?
I speak five languages,
Greek isn't one of them.
It's Latin.
Neither is Latin.
Harper, Sanchez,
you two hang in.
You're on loan to the
Anti-Crime detail today.
Uh, at Barton?
Boss, not to step over the line,
but could you find
someone else for this one?
What for?
Be up in Anti-Crime at 10:00.
In terms of plainclothes,
what should we wear?
You're wearing it.
Let me ask you--
I can never keep
this straight--
what's the difference
between Pathan and Pashtun?
None.
Different names
for the same people.
How do you even know
to ask me that?
My older brother's stationed in
Helmand Province as we speak.
Army or marines?
Doctors Without Borders.
***, ***, ***
On the plane, on my brain,
about to do the show
40K contract, take it out
the dough, dice
Symbolize my life,
roll 'em on the floor
From your grubby hands
as you hand the grandstand
***, ***, ***.
Hey, guys, beautiful day
for the beach, huh?
You heading for the beach?
Nah, I always say that.
Just keeps me positive.
I never been to the beach
a day in my life.
So what's happening?
Quiet.
Been quiet
all week.
But two young police officers
like yourself,
you should be grateful
for that.
You get to go home
in one piece,
you live to fight
another day.
Name's Errol Barnes,
but everybody calls me
Pappy Science.
Why Pappy Science?
I have no idea.
Do you know how much that guy
in there charges
for loose cigarettes, huh?
Two dollars.
Two damn dollars!
You believe that?
I'm flat-out busted today.
Maybe you should quit smoking.
Let me tell all you
health nuts,
some day you're gonna feel
pretty stupid
dying from nothing.
Hey! Sameer!
Come on! Open up, bro!
He was just open.
What the hell's going on?!
Drop it!
Police! Don't move!
Call it in.
Cuff him! Cover the gun!
The big one,
he came charging
at me with the hammer,
and I put
my hand up
to keep him away!
I shot him right through
my own fingers!
Then I'm crazy,
shooting everywhere!
Where is she?
Where's who?
My daughter!
For three days, those two,
they come into my store, showing
me different things of hers.
The say, "We kidnapped her.
"
They're asking me for $10,000!
Post 43 to Central, 10-85.
I don't have $10,000!
Three males shot, two
likely.
We need a bus.
Make that two buses.
What's your location?
Right above the bodega.
Three, four times a day
they're showing me her sweater,
her blouse, her ring,
saying, "Where is my money?"
What bodega? What's your location?
What's our location?
the building number.
You have an address?
They say, "You tell the cops
that we have her, she's dead!"
It's the northeast, no,
northwest corner building,
third floor.
I'm going to make
these *** give her back!
Ahmad, it's the
fourth floor.
Fourth floor.
Fourth floor.
Tell them there's
a girl missing.
I don't know
what they did with her!
Where is my daughter,
you son of a ***?!
Enough!
Where is she, you ***?!
Hey!
Where is my daughter?!
Uh
Listen, first the Fat Boys
break up
Now every day I wake up
Somebody got something
to say
Where's the love?
Look, scrapper,
I got nephews to look after
I'm not lookin' at you dudes,
I'm looking past ya
Ain't no love
In the heart of the city
I said, "Where's the love?"
Ain't no love
In the heart of town
Holler at me
Ain't no love
In the heart of the city
Where's the love?
Look, you should have
radioed it in
as soon as you heard
the gunshots go off.
But
basically, once you got here,
you did all the right things.
Except maybe next time
you call in a ***,
know where
the hell you are.
Thanks for your
help there, Martini.
Guy adds luster and dimension to
the word "jerk," but he's right.
When you go into a location,
you have to know
exactly where you are
because you never can tell when
all hell's gonna break loose.
Hey, you got your first serious
assault collar.
Gun collar, too.
Hell of a morning,
huh? How you guys doing?
You need anything?
No, sir, just want to
get back in the game.
The kidnapped girl, we
don't even know her name.
Jasmeen al-Harani, 17,
lives with her father
right above the bodega.
And right now she's classified
as missing.
And the kidnap the guys
shot in the apartment?
Maybe you guys should let us
ask the questions,
like, how we got to be
standing here
right now talking to you?
From the beginning.
Look, I can't use it.
I mean, it's got some
kind of short.
Half the stuff that's
coming over to me,
it sounds like
it's in Martian.
Well, you got to fill out
the paperwork properly.
I thought I did.
Can we get out of here?
Oh, God! Get off me!
Help!
Get him off me, man!
Get off me!
Get him off me!
Get him off me!
Break it up! Hey!
Come on!
Over here!
What the hell is wrong
with you, man!
You guaran-damn-teed that stuff!
She said, "That's all
you got for me?"
She was laughing!
Let me just ask you
something, Earl.
How much you
drink last night?
None of your damn business!
None of my damn
business, huh? That much?
What'd you expect
to happen, Romeo?!
You said that stuff
was foolproof!
The only problem with foolproof
is that fools always turn
out to be so damn ingenious!
I'll have a main order
of Undercover
with a heaping side
of Obvious.
We're gonna look like rabbits
in a glass hat, man.
If you don't tell me what's
going on with you
I had him.
You had who?
I was in some hole-in-the wall
bar john, you know,
I'm just waiting my turn,
he comes out of the stall.
We're standing so close,
we could've had a baby.
I froze.
Did he know you were a cop?
I don't know.
I guess.
I mean, I had my
hand on my weapon,
I just, I froze, you know?
He just laughed
and kept walking.
Froze?
What was I supposed to do,
shoot him, you know?
Besides, I wasn't
exactly sober
as a judge myself
to be honest.
I mean, the guy was so
freaking big, you know,
he could've eaten apples
off the top of my head.
You didn't tell anyone?
I'm telling you.
Me? What the hell am I supposed
to do with this?
They had so many damned
sightings, you know.
One less isn't gonna make
a difference.
Look, it was a onetime thing,
all right?
It's not gonna happen again.
What?
I didn't say anything.
Look, you're worried
something goes down,
I ain't going to have your back,
right? Well, don't.
I won't.
I don't.
No one is allowed on the block
without residential ID!
No exceptions!
I live right there!
Sorry.
I need to see some ID.
I've been on this block since
Sorry.
No ID, no pass through.
I have an ID.
"I have an ID""
Hey, hey, listen, man,
my grandmother's up there
helpless, like an invalid.
Which building?
Who you kidding, Terrance?
Your grandmother
died six months ago.
My other grandmother.
Richie, 445! I dreamt about it
two nights in a row! 445!
Two!
A two, but two what?
Are you the numbers guy?
Walk to the tape, take
care of your customers,
and get 'em out of here.
Is that a numbers racket?
He's gonna take bets
right in front of us?
Wow.
All right, so Barton Prep,
we've had five
reported robberies outside the
school over the last ten days,
only one vic coming out
of the main entrance here.
The other four coming out of
these side doors on 112th,
walking east towards
Manhattan Ave.
The descriptions of the perps
are a little all over the place:
black, Hispanic, white,
working solo, in a crew.
Boss, can I ask?
Do you have any footage
of the robberies
from the security cameras?
No.
Could've all happened
just out of range,
or some of the cameras
could have been down.
We're not sure why.
Harper, Sanchez,
your job is to stand in front
of the main entrance
in uniform and just be present.
You're not there
to foil robberies.
You're human pinball flippers
driving the action
to the side entrance.
We're gonna have two vehicles.
I'm gonna be in
the northwest corner
of 112th and Amsterdam
by the deli.
Mason, you're on
the southeast corner
of the 111th and Amsterdam.
Apple and Davis,
you're our eyes working on foot.
Apple by the pizza shop
across the street,
Davis by the bus stop.
Barton portable, you on the air?
In position.
Hey, rooks,
try not to wave at us, okay?
Okay, we'll try
there, boss.
You know how much
the tuition is here?
When the college boards
come around,
the tutors, even the lousy
ones, 200 bucks an hour.
That's, like, more than for a
double session with Freud.
Meanwhile, we got public
school kids uptown,
right, they raise their
hand to answer a question,
they're lucky they don't
get tossed out a window.
Makes me sick, you know?
It's supposed to be America,
land of the level playing field.
I mean, I went
to public school
straight through
to City College.
Worked fine for me; looks
like you came out in one piece.
You kidding me?
I would have killed
to go to a school like this.
It's not the kids' fault
that they're turned
into these little
Darwinian princesses
and princelings, you
know; it's the parents.
It's the parents
and the whole
Daddy?
Honey.
Hi, uh how you
do how was school?
Dad, what are you doing here?
Uh, well, you know,
the, uh, the muggings that
are going on around here.
They sent you?
Well,
Navy SEAL Team Six wasn't
available, so, yeah.
Who?
Hey, look,
this is Tonya
Sanchez, my partner.
This is Ruby,
my daughter.
Hey.
Hey.
And this is Hazzard.
Hazzard?
'Sup?
'Sup?
Excuse me.
Okay.
Nice kid, friendly.
Are you being sarcastic?
Me, no, never.
How's your mom?
Good.
Yeah, and, uh,
what's-his-face,
the dermatologist?
Endocrinologist.
Endocrinologist.
Eric.
Eric.
He's fine.
Yeah, that's good.
And, uh, this Hazzard,
is he your boyfriend or
For only, like, a year.
And I would know this because
Ruby.
See that boy over there?
What happened to him?
Carl? He was robbed by the
kids from Walcott last week.
They took him for $200, too.
They charge him extra
for that beating?
He said he was going to the
pizza shop across the street
to get a soda, which
is dumber than mud.
It's like ***-kick central.
Everyone knows that.
Joint right there?
I have to go, too.
Okay.
Hey, Ruby.
I miss you.
I can't believe you're
really a cop now.
Yeah, well, I am.
It's so weird.
Hey, honey, repeat after me:
I miss you, too, Daddy.
I do.
Why'd that guy chomp
on you like that?
Well,
I sold him some
male-enhancement pills,
and the fool went
and washed them down
with a bottle of Scotch.
And then he wondered
why he couldn't get
his sword out of the scabbard;
he blamed me.
Just my luck we get locked up
in the same cell.
I mean, it was his honeymoon
and all, but shoot.
A whole bottle of that brown?
I mean, I might be a man of medicine,
but I ain't no miracle worker.
A man of medicine? You mean like a doctor?
Yeah, like a doctor.
Where'd you get the pills?
Fell off a truck.
I try to talk to her, you know,
ever since the divorce
as much as I can
on-on the horn and in person,
but 15-year-old kid.
You know, they always got
a million things going on.
You know how we communicate
We text.
We text.
Two years of playing thumb
piano, you have any
You have any idea
It's my fault.
I was an *** back then; I
would have divorced me, too.
Hey, FYI,
my best year as a reporter,
I couldn't afford this joint.
That's on the
endocrinologist's dime.
God, I hate that guy.
Hey, uh, I don't know,
I just overheard
some people were saying that
that missing girl had it coming.
Had what coming? Who said?
I don't know; like I said,
I just overheard.
I'm new here myself.
Hold on.
I'm hearing lots of stuff
about Jasmeen.
You're a funny man.
You're funny, too,
Jackpot Toney.
Mr.
NBA.
Hey, let me guess, you got,
what, three, four lady friends,
right?
And them all asking you,
"Hey, Jackpot, honey,
are we going anywhere
with this?"
And you tell them back, uh,
"Baby, where you want to go?
We're having such a good time
just like it is," and then
you wonder why all these women
you've been loving up on
always seem to be
so angry at you.
What you laughing at?
You got a man
at home, right?
That's none of your business.
Oh, well this
"none of my business" dude
I don't know
how to tell you this,
but he don't really love you,
and you don't
really love him.
But I bet you anything
when you two walk down
the street together,
strapping, young,
athletical kids,
heads do turn.
And how do you know
we don't love each other?
'Cause you are a beautiful woman
with a sad face.
And I ain't blind.
Let me ask you a question.
If you're so damned wise
and all that,
how come you're the one sitting
in that chair in cuffs?
Hey,
I'm just shooting the breeze.
Uh-huh.
Fell off a truck?
Potholes!
City ought to do something.
The other police officer,
he might have street information
about the kidnapped girl.
Do you think you can get
a detective's attention?
First major collar,
and we're standing
on the street, holding up tape.
Well done, man.
Honor killing.
Do you know what
an honor killing is?
I know you do.
It's the father.
He murdered her.
Jasmeen runs wild.
She goes with
anyone who asks.
It's a disgrace to the family.
He had no choice;
it's their way.
What do you mean, "he had
no choice; it's their way"?
Here is here;
New York, 21st century.
He shot those two other
men to cover it up.
I'm telling you.
Hey, sir, we're hearing
a lot of good information.
Yeah, yeah, we'll get to them.
Just, uh, take down names.
Yeah, and that is
with the stress
of polar-bear-chewed hand.
Normally, my pressure's so low,
doc took it once, he said,
"Either my watch stopped
or you dead.
"
Temp is 101.
2.
Ah,
that's my normal skin heat.
Women love it.
Yeah, hard to resist a man
with the flu.
He's going to the E.
R.
You got any painkillers?
Nope.
You want some?
You two,
you ride in the bus with him,
and when you get to the E.
R.
,
don't
do not lose your prisoner.
He stays cuffed
at all times.
He needs to take a leak, you go
in, you stand alongside of him,
you hold it for him.
You kidding, right?
That's what happens to rookies
who are still in the house
an hour past the time
they're supposed to be
on post.
Okay, if you guys
don't let me
get into my building,
I'll show you
what a homicide looks like.
Just go.
Come on!
That was my gramp
right there!
I live
Move it.
Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me.
What's up, boss?
Memo books?
You asked Homicide who the vics
shot in the apartment were?
You see,
sometimes speaking to rookies,
detectives can be a little less
than forthcoming.
Daniel and Milton Irrizary.
Brothers.
They just moved here
a few months ago from Riverhead
for a construction job
that never happened.
burglary, assault, and the like.
Daniel is DOA, and Milton
is circling the drain, okay?
Thanks, boss.
Go easy, easy, easy, man.
Why I still got wear this cuff?
I mean, do you see me
hotfooting it out of here?
The Irrizary brothers
lived in your own building
and it took you three days
to find that out?
I work from 6:00 in the morning
to 10:00 at night every day.
I walk up two flights
of stairs to my apartment,
and I crawl into bed;
I don't know a soul.
Why are you talking
to me anyway?
Why are you asking
me these questions?
Why aren't you looking
for my daughter?
We're looking,
but maybe after you and us talk,
we'll have a better idea
where to focus.
Am I asking for a lawyer?
Do you think that I am so stupid
that I don't know
how to ask for a lawyer?
I don't care what
happens to me,
but every one of you
talking to me
is one less person looking
for her!
How are you doing, Mr
Williams?
Well, you know, first off,
I didn't get no tetanus shot.
Please, I'm not doing anything
for this gentleman
until you remove that handcuff.
I refuse to work
on a man in chains.
Nothing doing.
Do you want to radio your
sergeant for permission?
I'm sure he'd okay it.
Tell him
it's Dr.
Choudury asking.
Come on, you have him
wedged in like bookends.
This looks pretty clean.
Let me just get my kit.
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You gonna do the stitching?
Is there a problem?
Well, it ain't nothing personal, Doc,
but, you know, I've been
serviced in this room before
and get stitched up in here?
I'd just as soon go down
to the Garment District.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Hey, what's he
carrying? Groceries?
I pegged him more
of a liquid lunch dude.
This is supposed
to be his block, right?
Where's he been all morning?
Do you think he knows anything
about the kidnapping?
It's Pappy, right?
Hey, Pappy,
come here for a second.
Hey, Pappy!
Damn, he's going rabbit
on us.
Hey, Sarge, we're taking
a personal, okay?
It just so happens
my fiancé and I
are truly in love.
Oh, well, good.
Don't forget to invite me
to the wedding.
All right, proceed, Mahatma.
Mahatma?
Treat the man with respect.
But, um,
that's my name.
Elevator's not working.
We're movie Irrizary through.
Damn it.
Where's Harvey?
Checked all the exit tapes.
He's still got to be in
the building somewhere.
You got people at all the doors?
Of course.
Don't tell me.
Somebody should
call Yo da.
You got a copy machine?
Take his online booking photo,
make 20 copies.
Stay off the air.
I need a landline.
This is post one.
I've got six going
into the pizza place.
I'm gonna check them out.
Stand by.
That's where Ruby said
the kid got robbed, right?
Mm-hmm.
This is Barton portable
to operation post one.
Post one, go.
Yeah, can you ask
the pizza guy
if the cameras outside
his place are working?
Can do.
What's up?
Just hold on.
Guys like Pappy Science,
they're like those
National Geographic
forest lizards
that can turn the
color of tree bark.
Well, if you were a lizard
and this was a forest,
which tree would you pick?
Maybe it's not a tree
we're looking for.
Post one to Barton portable.
Guy says cameras are working.
He maintains them himself.
Thanks.
See? There's no way
the kid got jacked up there
and they didn't catch it.
Somebody gave that kid a beating.
Yeah, but why would he lie
about where it happened?
It's like throwing everybody off the scent.
Protecting the perp.
Why?
Because maybe if it's somebody
you got to see every day,
then to point them out, it would
make your life a living hell.
Well, you know,
my brothers used to
get away with bloody
*** like that.
No lunch money vic
in their right mind
would ever say the
Sanchez boys did the deed.
Well maybe, just maybe,
none of the muggings
were captured by
the street cameras
because none of the muggings
took place on the street, which
leads me to believe that all
the bad stuff
took place inside the school.
Look, I'm tired of playing
statue here, you know?
If Terry Howard wants us to
be human pinball flippers,
and drive the bad guys
to the place where
the bad guys do their thing,
maybe we can make it
happen another way.
Where are you going?
Look, just keep an eye on me, all right?
If you see anything that
makes you want to go inside
for say, like, a bathroom break,
by all means.
How do I say "gotcha" without
scaring you half to death?
So who's the food for?
My cats.
Who are partial
to mustard?
One more time.
Do you know what
Checkpoint Charlie was?
In the Cold War?
Do you know what that was?
American and Russian tanks
facing off in Berlin, 1961.
I was a machine gunner.
Right there.
I done some bad things
in my life.
But I was ready
to fight for my country,
scared as I was.
What's the punch line?
I just don't want any trouble.
I don't want no more trouble.
I'm too old for any more trouble!
Talk to us.
Jasmeen is a wild girl.
Not a bad girl, mind you.
That's not what I'm saying.
But since her mother died,
a year or two back,
she can disappear
like an outdoor cat.
She don't get along
with her father,
real bad taste in boyfriends
Not a bad girl.
Just off to the races.
Where is she, Pappy?
Hand out those photocopies.
If this guy makes it
out of here,
you two are facing rips so bad
your first vacation day's going
to be your 30th birthday.
Catch him, on the other hand
this thing never happened.
All right.
Team up,
take a floor.
Sarge, what about us?
The morgue.
Every cooler, every stiff.
I love rookies.
They're just so
so interesting.
Hey.
How you doing?
Come here for a sec.
So, uh
I just heard what
happened to you.
That puts you in last place.
Yeah.
So it was a
public school kid, huh?
I don't know.
I didn't
ask for his student ID.
So, up by the pizza place, huh?
Must've been the world's
most expensive slice.
What?
Why, I heard the guy took
you for 200 bucks.
I mean,
what are you doing carrying
around that kind of money?
Deposit for a class trip
to Washington.
It was the deadline date.
Wow, that is good timing on
the other kid's part, right?
I mean, he doesn't
go to this school,
so he doesn't know
about the deadline,
but he picks that day anyway.
It's kind of like
winning the lottery, no?
I don't know.
Those kids, uh
they seem pretty interested
in our conversation.
Maybe they want to be cops.
Yeah, maybe.
Hey, look
Thanks a lot.
All right? Sincerely.
Appreciate it.
Look
you got to understand.
I known her since she was
a baby.
Her parents, too.
God bless her mother's soul.
And all I wanted to do was
help her in her hour of need.
Damn.
People coming to me
for sanctuary.
But now
with all these cops,
bloodhounds,
and helicopters
I just don't want to get
in any kind of trouble.
No kind of trouble.
Why does
she need sanctuary?
Take the ramp down
to the basement.
She's in storage compartment 23.
Jasmeen?
Jasmeen?
Whoa.
No, let me go!
Jasmeen, easy, easy.
Jasmeen, we're here to help.
How's my father?
Injured, but he'll be okay.
And Danny?
Daniel Irrizary?
He died.
No!
My father shot him?
Who was he?
My boyfriend.
Your what?
This whole
it's all my fault
No, what
I don't know why I did it,
but I told Danny
I thought my dad
had money from the store.
And then the next thing,
he and his brother went
and told my dad
they kidnapped me.
And wanted money.
So you were a part of this?
No! I didn't even
know about it.
Why did I tell him my dad
has money? It's not even true.
It's okay.
You couldn't read
his mind.
You couldn't know what
he was going to do.
Sorry, ma'am.
No way this guy is down here.
Yoda's just trying to
get us out of the way.
Wait a minute.
It's a big-*** hospital.
There's a third option,
at least.
Yeah?
Would you say our guy got a
serious case of brass balls?
I would indeed.
So the whole time your father
thought you were kidnapped
I was staying
with Danny.
Because ever since my mom died,
I don't like going home.
My dad always seems
so mad at me
Your mother dies, and
you abandon your father?
He doesn't want me.
Ahmad, ease up.
Jasmeen, it's okay.
It's okay.
Look, I don't know
if it would make you feel
better to say what happened,
but why don't you try?
I
I guess they just figured
that all they had to do
was keep me out of sight.
So all this time I'm over there
hanging out with them,
I have no idea
what they're up to.
And then when I finally
wanted to see my dad,
Danny had to tell me
what was going on
or their plan would fall apart,
but as soon as they did,
I ran home to stop it.
Good.
That was good.
You did the right thing.
Yeah, but it was too late.
I saw you two
by the closed store.
I saw Pappy Science.
And when I heard the shots
from up in the apartment,
I knew what happened.
You're right.
If I'd only been
a better daughter
I wouldn't have left
my father alone like that,
I wouldn't be hanging out
with boys like Danny
just because I think
they're being nice to me.
I miss my mom so much.
Just like he does.
I didn't say anything, I swear.
Then why did he shake your hand?
He was playing head
games.
I don't know.
If a cop-- any cop--
comes after me or Bobby
or Tucker, we're going
to know that it was you
that told them about us,
and that beating you got
is gonna feel like
a massage in comparison.
Do you understand me?
I do.
All's we need to know is
who Bobby and Tucker are.
Oh, damn.
Barton portable, 10-85,
main entrance of the school.
We got him.
Come on! Now!
Give me your cuffs.
It was Tucker's idea!
All right.
He made us!
You do not tell my
dad, you hear me?!
Do not tell my dad!
Relax!
Paging Dr.
Bender.
Paging Dr.
Bender, please.
This would leave an awful scar.
You see what I'm sayin', Doc?
The guy sewed me up like
he was lacing a boot!
Look at this.
It's downright criminal,
don't you think?
I have a hospital release form
for Harvey Williams.
Thank you very much.
Thanks.
Oh, thank God!
Thank God!
What?
If you would have
died, I would have
nothing to live for!
It's been so hard!
I am so sorry!
You're sorry?
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry!
I'm sorry.
Yo, chief!
Can I get some
fruit juice!
Keep your voice down.
Hey, boss.
Yeah, what's up?
The father, what kind
of time is he looking at?
It's hard to say.
Depends on what the prosecutor
makes of the circumstances,
how much of a lawyer
he can afford.
You know the daughter?
I was so angry at her,
and then I was angry at him,
you know?
I'm old enough to wear
this uniform,
carry a gun
but sometimes I feel very young.
Earn as you learn, kid.
You had a good day.
Hey, heard about
your collar.
Oh! You look like you tried
to brush your teeth
in a blender.
You okay?
Yeah.
More like I tried to
harpoon a whale from a rowboat.
Meanwhile, I heard
about your day.
That was pretty cool,
finding that girl
with all those DT's
running around
like they had their helmets
on backwards.
That kid,
I felt so sorry for her.
Yeah.
All she was trying to do
was duck her dad's anger,
and we wind up with a dead body,
a guy in a coma,
someone going to jail.
Yeah, well,
you know, some people zig
when they should
have zagged.
I can't even imagine
having kids right now,
but when I do, you better
believe I'm gonna love them
every second
of every day.
No way any
kid of mine
is ever gonna feel neglected
or rejected
or anything but cherished
in big block letters.
Yeah, well, we all start out
by saying that, but
But what?
You know, life intrudes,
it gets complicated.
Sometimes disappointment
is inevitable.
I know I'll probably look back
on what I just said
and realize
how stupid it sounds,
but I guess
I'd just rather sound stupid
right now.
Know what I mean?
Sure.
All right, see you tomorrow.
See ya.
See ya.
This is Ruby.
Talk to me.
Hey, honey, it's your dad.
Look, I know
getting you on the phone
is like a mar victory,
but, um, I just wanted to say
that, uh, you know,
I really need, you know, uh
that I really
that I really would, um,
want to see you more.
And, um
Today was like a major jolt,
you know?
I mean, it was a good jolt,
don't get me wrong.
I just, um
Tell you what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna just
hit you up with a text.
Hey.
I got to tell you,
when I realized that he was
gonna try to run through me,
it was kind of like,
you know that feeling you get
right before you're about
to smash into car,
there's nothing you can do
about it but brace yourself?
He mowed me down
like a bowling pin.
But you
I know you must've had
that same, "Oh, damn" moment
when he was coming
at you.
But you held on, had to be
something like 50 feet.
Well, you know, it was fun.
You and this guy
the other night?
The fact of the matter is,
if I can stuff
my cojones-talk back in
its drawer for a second,
I'd probably admit that I would've
done the same thing you did.
You mean, done nothing?
I mean you're my partner,
and I'm good with that.
You two,
you realize how lucky you were
today at that hospital?
You saved your own ***,
but I wouldn't be doing
a whole hell of a lot
of high-fiving about it.
You should have
that looked at.
You're looking at it.
No, I mean, um
I'm joining some friends at the
Lenox Tavern in a few minutes.
Do you feel like?
I don't drink.
Where do you stand
on ginger ale?
Whatever.
See you tomorrow.
Nice moves, Slick.
Hey.
Kenny.
This is my cousin Greg.
He's going overseas tomorrow.
We're giving him
a dinner tonight.
Oh, hey.
Sir.
This is the officer I
was telling you about.
You know, I heard
what you did
for my little cousin
with that gang thing.
I thank you.
Okay, we got to keep moving.
Sure, yeah.
Sure thing.
Bye now.
So slick.
