NARRATOR: Previously,
on NYPD Blue...
- Gentlemen, it's official.
I have been to
the pension bureau
and I now have my p*stol
license and my retired ID.
- Get your hands up! Hands up!
- I'm hit. I'm hit.
- I've got a 1013, officer down.
- Stay with me, come on.
- Misha, this guy shot
a New York City
police lieutenant.
You will tell me his name.
- Sergei Yesen.
He don't fear nothing, that guy.
Not police, not nothing.
- Let us worry about that.
[♪♪♪]
- How you doing?
I'm Lieutenant Henry.
Chief of Detectives
Office sent me over here.
I don't know if it's a
permanent assignment or not,
but they told me
to get comfortable,
so that's what I'm going to do.
- I'm Andy Sipowicz.
- Andy, pleasure to meet you.
Heard a lot about you.
So, why don't the rest of
you introduce yourselves?
- John Clark.
- John.
- Partnered with Baldwin Jones.
- Rita Ortiz.
HENRY: Hi.
- Hi.
Partnered with Laura Murphy.
HENRY: Hello.
- Hi.
- And what's your name?
- I'm John Irvin, I'm the P.A.A.
- Ah.
Didn't you just make sergeant?
- Yeah, my current
assignment is downstairs.
I'm just up here working
on the lieutenant sh**ting.
- Ah, how we doing with that?
- Well, we got some information
from the guy we collared.
The addresses he
gave us are legit,
but whoever was
there had moved out.
- You a golfer?
- Me? No.
- I saw you looking at the club.
- Should we bring you
up to speed on our cases?
- There's no rush.
When you get
to it, you get to it.
- I can make copies
of whatever you need.
- Just don't bury me
in paperwork now, huh?
- If there is anything,
just let me know.
- So, any of you golfers?
- My dad plays.
- Greatest game in the world.
Greatest game ever invented.
- Yeah, Lieutenant, I've got
some calls I've got to make.
- Yeah, sure, go ahead.
No one here plays, huh?
- No.
- No.
[♪♪♪]
- Her name's Farrah Mark.
Looks like she was
stabbed in the chest.
- You think?
- How'd the job come in?
- Next door
neighbor called it in.
His name's Charles Lusk.
- That him over there?
- Yeah.
Wait until you get a look
at the outfit on this guy.
- You Charles Lusk?
- Yes.
- What happened this morning?
- It was early.
I heard music coming
through the walls.
I knocked on the door.
There was no answer.
I tried the door. It
was open. I went in.
- How early was it?
- About eight o'clock.
- How well did you know her?
- Not very well.
The one thing we
talked about was music
since ethnographic folk music
is what I'm pursuing
my doctorate in.
- Was it unusual for
her to be playing music?
- At that hour, yes, it was.
- And you were going in
to ask her to turn it down?
- I do meditation at
that hour of the morning
and I was irritated at
having it interrupted.
- Was Farrah married?
- Yes.
- Can you tell us anything
about her husband?
- I think he was a cab driver.
I know he was gone a lot.
- Any sense that there were
problems between them?
- I really hate being
put in the position of
commenting on
something like that.
- No one's going to quote you.
- Under that rubric, all right.
I did hear arguing,
though it was her husband
who did most of the yelling.
- Any idea what
they argued about?
- They spoke in
Arabic. I have no idea.
- I'm supposed
to see detectives.
- Do you know which one?
- Misha, we're going in there.
You coming?
- Why don't you two talk to him?
Let me know off chance,
'cause it's a cop sh**ting,
if anyone expects Arnold Palmer
there to know what's going on,
I've got to at least try
to bring him up to date.
- How you doing, Misha?
- Okay.
- So you made bail?
- What I must come here for?
- We need more
information. Have a seat.
- I have no more.
I tell you every place
I know Sergei go to.
JOHN: That is not true.
- Hundred percent, it's true.
- What about the people
he does business with?
- He have separate
operation from me.
I don't get involved
his business.
He don't get
involved my business.
- Come on, Misha. He
was in your apartment.
- I tell you about sister, no?
I tell you about girlfriend.
For this, I get DA
go easy, you say.
Now I'm out on a
limb without paddle.
For what?
- Well, your case still
has to come to trial.
- You were cooperative
at first, which is good.
You're not being
cooperative now.
That's bad.
- Man, any way as far
as Sergei is concerned,
you already flipped.
You're already on our team.
JOHN: We both need
Sergei behind bars.
- Okay.
You want something from Misha.
Well, Misha wants
something from you.
Suspended
sentence only, no jail.
- Work with us, maybe that's
what the DA will recommend.
- No! DA tell me from
horse's own mouth.
Otherwise I take
my chance in court.
Misha not so
stupid like you think.
- Can you tell me
why I'm here, please?
- Your wife was involved
in an accident this morning.
- What kind of accident?
- We're still
checking into that.
Have a seat.
- I don't understand.
- Where were you this
morning, Mr. Omar?
- Driving my taxicab.
- And you left your
apartment at what time?
- Six o'clock.
- Was your wife
there when you left?
- Sure, she made
for me breakfast.
Please, what kind of
accident was she involved in?
- Your wife was
k*lled, Mr. Omar.
- How you know this?
- We're investigating her death.
She was m*rder*d
in your apartment.
- [SOBBING] How did it happen?
- She was stabbed.
How were you and your
wife getting along, Mr. Omar?
- Good.
Fine.
Perfect.
- We've heard from
people in your building
that you used to
argue quite a bit.
- You think it mean I k*ll her?
- We're not saying that.
- It was Ibrahim did this.
- Who is that?
- He know her from Egypt.
He wanted to marry
her, but he has no money.
His family has no money.
So this doesn't happen.
Her family also have nothing.
They list her in agency.
I make arrangements.
- What kind of arrangements?
- I pay dowry. I
pay agency fees.
I bring her here to be my wife.
Ibrahim finds out she's here.
Now he come.
- How did he find out?
- Have girlfriend tell him.
- Did he make contact
with her once he got here?
- Yes, he does.
And I have him in my home.
I show him hospitality.
Then I find out
he called Farrah,
asked her to see him by
herself, to behave in a manner
altogether unacceptable
for a married woman.
- Did they have a
romantic relationship?
- No, absolutely.
Because of the situation, I say
he's not welcome in my house.
Because she's a
good wife, she tells him.
So this is what he does.
He said to himself,
"If I can't have her,
nobody can have her."
- How you doing?
LT. BALE: All right.
- What are they saying?
- Took out the spleen.
It's not a big deal.
They expect the
damage to the kidney
should heal completely.
- That's great.
- Where are we with the sh**ter?
- I'm hopeful we get
something we can use
out of this fresh undercover.
- Nothing's panned out so far?
- No, not so far.
- How's the new boss?
- He's, he's all right.
LT. BALE: Yeah?
- He's a golfer.
- Can you work with
him notwithstanding that?
- He's just keeping
your seat warm.
- Maybe not.
ANDY: Why? Sounds
like you're on the mend.
- There's nerve damage.
There may be a loss of
motor control on my left side.
There's a good chance I'm
not going to be coming back.
- I'm sorry to hear that.
- You might have to
get used to the guy.
ANDY: Well, I don't
have to get used to him.
Once I get the
guy that shot you,
I'm back downstairs.
- You ever think you might want
to take the command yourself?
- No.
- I'm not saying
they'd give it to you,
but if I made a call,
given that it's special
circumstances,
it's a possibility.
- I'm not cut out for it.
- For what?
- To be a boss, to
command a squad.
- You took the sergeant's test.
- And that was
probably a stupid idea.
I don't have what it
takes to be a boss.
I don't want to be a boss.
I don't know what
the hell I was thinking.
I've been a detective
since I was 31 years old.
I should have
stayed a detective.
- Until when?
- Until I died.
Until I hit mandatory
retirement.
I don't know what made me
think I could do something else.
- Momentary wave of optimism?
- More like temporary insanity.
- You talk to your
wife about any of this?
- Why? So she starts thinking
if it weren't for
her and the kids,
I'd retire all together?
She starts feeling guilty and
takes my problems on herself?
What good is that?
- Well, I don't pretend to
be an authority on marriage.
You know, I was set to take
the captain's test next month.
- For sure that's
not going to happen?
- I won't say I don't have my
dark moments thinking about it.
- I'm sure you do.
- But even through those
dark moments though,
I know the very best
thing I can do for myself is
to turn toward the
possibilities that exist now.
It may not be what I'd planned.
It is what happened.
- I guess that's a
good way to look at it.
- It's a heavy lift,
calling the Chief of Detectives to
recommend you for a command.
- I'm not asking you to do that.
- And I'm not saying
he'd listen to me
and I'm sure as hell not
going to make the call
unless it's something you want.
- It's not.
- But I think you do have
it in you to be a boss.
I think you'd be the right
boss for this squad to have.
I should probably
get some sleep.
- Take care, Lieutenant.
[♪♪♪]
- What's the problem?
- I'm not trusting them
to tell me what gives.
- What gives is this. We
find your friend you sent
and based on information
that you provide us with,
I recommend a
suspended sentence.
We find him based
on anything else,
cross your fingers,
hope for the best.
- I already provide.
- You gave up two addresses
where no one was home.
- Well, it's my fault?
- No. The g*n and the stolen
merchandise are your fault.
Now you want those to go away,
you're going to
help us find him.
- I take big risk here.
- If you weren't taking a risk,
we wouldn't be talking to you.
Now either you tell
us what you know
or stop wasting our time.
- He bring girls from Russia.
Even he's hiding, he
might go check up on them.
- All right, where do
we find these girls?
- He don't tell
me where his girl.
- That's not very
much help, is it?
- I know he has deal
with Coventry Hotel
where he sends girls.
- A deal with who
at the Coventry?
- His name Macklin. I
meet him before Sergei.
I put them together.
It's good now?
- We'll see.
[♪♪♪]
- Which one of you is Ibrahim?
- Me. I'm Ibrahim.
- We need to talk to you
about Farrah, Ibrahim.
- What about her?
- We don't want to have
this conversation here.
- Did something happen to her?
- When's the last
time you saw her?
- I don't remember. Why?
- Think about it for a second.
- I don't remember when it was.
Why? Why are you asking me?
- She's dead.
- How can you think
I k*lled this woman?
- We don't think anything.
We're talking to
everyone who knew her.
- What time did you
get to work this morning?
- 6:30.
- Is there anyone
who can confirm that?
- It was the driver,
from The Times.
Then there was Sammy
who works at the newsstand,
unless you think
because he's Arab, he'd lie.
LAURA: We don't
think anything like that.
RITA: Did you try to persuade
Farrah not to get married?
- Yes.
- She went through
with it though.
- She honored her parents.
She did what
they told her to do.
I was in no position to
offer what Omar could,
so I had to accept that this
was the way it was going to be.
- You weren't happy
about it though?
- No, I was not happy about it.
But I understand the
difficulty of her position,
so I tried to be
her friend only.
- You picked up and
came to the United States
because you wanted
to be friends with her?
Come on, Ibrahim, that's
not even vaguely credible.
- I came here to win her back.
When I can't do that,
I satisfy myself
to be a friend only.
Also, to better myself
in the way that others do.
- That what the phone
calls and the visits were?
Being a friend only?
- Yes. She needed a friend.
For Omar, his most
treasured possession
was his taxi medallion.
Farrah was a distant second.
- That must have made
it frustrating for you,
to live with the fact
that she was his.
- Many things are frustrating.
You learn to accept
them as God's will,
and go about your business.
- Is that what you did?
- Yes.
- Think whether or
not you want to be lying
about accepting
God's will, Ibrahim.
LAURA: Not to mention
about your relationship
with a m*rder victim.
RITA: That's how
people become suspects.
They lie.
[SOBBING]
- Okay, it happened.
We don't plan on it, but
one day she come over
and we have relations.
- Was that the only time?
- Yes, on my life.
- When was the last time
you saw her, Ibrahim?
- Two days ago.
She called me in the daytime.
She was sad.
She was lonely.
She missed her parents,
her brother, her sisters.
I went over there to be
whatever comfort I could.
- What did that consist of?
- Drinking tea and talking.
That's all.
Omar came home early and
decided it was something else entirely.
- How do you know that?
- He cursed me, made
accusations about both of us.
She called me the
next day in tears
and said it kept up
through the night.
It's Omar who did this.
There is no doubt.
- Well, we'll certainly
be talking to him again.
- When it comes time to
make burial arrangements,
she should be sent back
to Egypt, to her parents.
- That's up to her husband.
- What if her
husband k*lled her?
- I'm not sure.
- If it's possible,
please could you tell
whoever is in charge of that,
that I would like to pay?
[♪♪♪]
- Mr. Macklin?
- What can I do
for you gentlemen?
- We're looking
for a Sergei Yesen.
- Is he a guest?
- No, he's the
pimp you work with.
- I don't know what
you're talking about.
- How loud do you want
this conversation to get?
- Could we talk over here?
All kinds of people
come through here.
All kinds of people drop names.
- If you tell us you
don't know this guy,
we're going to take
you out of here in cuffs.
- What's going on here, guys?
Is working girls going
up to hotel rooms
something we're
cracking down on now?
- It's ill*gal. We can crack
down on it whenever we want.
- Okay, sorry, nobody told me.
I'm the guy guests ask
when they want one,
so I have the contacts.
Now I won't do it anymore.
- The girls Sergei sends over,
where does he keep them?
- That I wouldn't know.
- All right, turn around.
- What? Wait? They come here.
I don't send people there.
- You never got
thrown a free one?
- Never.
- You're lying. Turn around.
- Can I tell you something?
I don't think you have
anything to arrest me on.
- Think again.
Sergei shot a cop.
- That means we can
go as far as we want,
any direction we want to go in.
And if you don't think we're
going to tie you up for a while,
you're crazy, whether or
not we can make it stick.
- You know this guy
scares me to death.
- The sooner we lock him up,
the sooner he
stops being a threat.
- Is he going to find
out it comes from me?
- Not from us.
- There's an apartment
building on York Avenue
between 68th and 69th.
It's got, like, a canopy. He
keeps an apartment there.
Larraby's the
name on the buzzer.
- All right.
- And don't go calling
over there to warn them.
- What, are you crazy?
I'm not going to piss
you guys off, believe me.
[♪♪♪]
- What are you doing here?
- Shut your mouth.
- This is legitimate business.
- Police!
- [speaks another language]
- Could I speak
with you, please?
- What do you want?
- I have a special situation.
- I'm sure you do.
Get 'em dressed,
get him out of here.
- All clear!
There's no one else here.
- We're clear.
- What's your name?
- Varenka.
- Varenka what?
- Bulgarin.
- Varenka, we're
looking for Sergei.
- I don't know who that is.
- All right, come on.
You're taking a ride.
- [speaks in another language]
- She has to go to the bathroom.
- All right, take her.
- No, she needs privacy.
- It's not possible.
- Officer, listen.
My wife, she's coming
out of a serious depression.
Do you think it would be
possible maybe we could,
you know, spare her finding out?
- Hey listen, don't
worry about it.
We're not going
to call your wife.
Hey, after he gets dressed,
take him downstairs.
- Thank you.
Thank you very much.
- Him, you treat good.
- Come on, Natasha.
[♪♪♪]
- Hope we're not interrupting.
- It's all right.
- This is where
you come to pray?
- This is where I come
most days when I'm working,
when I can't get to the
mosque up on 96th Street.
I came today to forget
it's not like most days.
- We spoke to Ibrahim.
- Did he admit to k*lling her?
- No.
- You said the last time you
saw him was a month ago.
- Something like this, yes.
- He said it was two days ago.
RITA: He said you came home,
found him there,
and got pretty angry.
- You accused him and
your wife of having an affair.
- It's true.
- You're going to have to
come with us now, Mr. Omar.
- Why?
- Because we want to
talk to you some more.
- I don't want to
talk to you anymore.
I lost my wife today.
Please, give me consideration
to allow me to be by myself.
- Sorry.
- I come from
Russia for modeling.
Now I study for
real estate license.
- But you're working for Sergei?
- I don't know who this is.
- Who do you work for?
- I don't work for anyone.
- You have an ad in the paper?
- No, I don't have ad.
- You stand around hotel bars,
you stand on the street corner?
- I don't know what
you're talking about.
- Where do the men come from
who pay to have sex with you?
- I don't know.
Someone tell them to
call me and they call.
I don't know where
they come from.
- Elena, with one phone call,
I can have immigration here
and you can find yourself
getting sent back to Russia.
- Why do you do this to me?
- Because you're lying.
Now I know you're
afraid of Sergei,
but if you tell us
where we can find him,
he'll never know
it came from you.
- I don't know who this is.
- I study to be stock broker.
- When's the last time
you saw him, Panya?
- I don't know
who it is, Sergei.
- Yeah, you do.
- You think because
I'm from Ukraine?
- No, I think because
he's your pimp.
- I don't know what this is.
- You were arrested
for prostitution.
That means you're
going to go to jail.
And when you come out of jail,
you're going to be
shipped back to the Ukraine.
Is that what you want?
- For sure I don't want.
- Then tell me where
I can find Sergei.
- I don't know Sergei.
- We'll protect you.
- My mother and my
brother in Odessa,
you'll protect them too?
I don't know Sergei.
- See, the girls might get
off with a slap on the wrist.
You're not going
to get off so easy.
- No?
ANDY: You're going up
on pandering charges.
If we find out you
had anything to do with
bringing these girls
into the country,
you might be looking at
unlawful imprisonment,
smuggling, federal racketeering,
all kinds of things.
- I am such big fish like this,
maybe they build
me my own prison.
- No, they've got
the prison already.
- You don't scare me, okay?
- Which makes you
more stupid than brave
because this guy you're
protecting shot a cop.
That means if you
help us find him,
you can walk out of here.
- I don't help you do nothing.
- Thought you might
want to get an update
on where we are with
the lieutenant sh**ting.
- Sure, come on in.
Just trying to get
this thing to work.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah, it'll give me
the barometric pressure,
temperature, dew point,
and if I knew how
to set the darn thing,
it'd give me the
phases of the moon.
- Turns out the sh**ter
does a brisk business
in the pimp trade.
We hit an apartment,
took in a few of his girls.
- This is the Russian?
- Yeah.
- You know Vinnie Greco
over at the First Steps office?
- No.
HENRY: I knew
him out at the 111.
He owned a Russian car.
- Chances are we're
probably going to have to
sit on this apartment
and his sister's
place in Rego Park.
- Called a ZiL.
- What is?
- The Russian car.
They make a car called a ZiL.
That's the car
that Vinnie bought.
Anyway, you were saying?
- Just that there might be
some overtime involved.
- Well, as long as you've got
the paperwork to back it up,
and we're talking about
a cop getting shot, right?
- Right.
- Well, knock yourself out.
- You were looking for me?
- Yeah, could you see if
we have any AA batteries?
- Sure.
- Bruce, right?
- John.
- John.
Sorry.
- I'll keep you posted.
- That sounds good.
- What do you want
me to do about the 61s?
I have a feeling
our new lieutenant
doesn't want to be
bothered with them?
- Just leave them with me.
What's wrong?
- Everything's great.
- You seem upset.
- I guess I just
don't see this place
as one big Lego set where
people are interchangeable.
- John, people move around.
People retire.
It's not all that unusual
what's happening.
- I know.
I always make the mistake
of getting overly attached.
Believe me, it's
not the first time.
- There'll be some
new faces around.
Might learn to like them.
- Seeing you go, seeing
Detective Medavoy go,
having this new
lieutenant who I have to say
I do not care
for, it's too hard.
- John.
- I know people move around.
I know people retire.
There's just something about
this place and these people,
or maybe it's the
particular time in my life
when I was here.
Whatever it is, I don't want
to sit at that desk out there
if it's all going
to be different.
- What are you going to do?
- Put in for a transfer.
Cross my fingers there's another
precinct somewhere in the city
where I'll be made to feel
as much a part of
things as I was here.
And hope I don't get too
weepy thinking about it.
[♪♪♪]
- How come you couldn't
meet a girl here in New York?
- I wanted a Muslim girl.
LAURA: There's
Muslim girls here.
- It's not your
business why I do this.
- Unfortunately, it is
our business, Mr. Omar.
We're detectives
investigating your wife's m*rder.
- I want to date woman
who follow Quran teachings.
- Such as what?
- That she be clean,
that she wear hijab,
that she not give herself
to anyone but her husband.
- And you paid a lot of
money to have that, didn't you?
- I don't think about the money.
- Well, the flag had to drop on
that meter a whole lot of times
for you to make enough
money to bring her over here.
- Did you feel like you
might have been gypped?
- Why would I feel this way?
- She wasn't who you
thought you were getting.
LAURA: She wanted
friends of her own.
She missed her parents.
Maybe she wanted to leave
the apartment without the hijab.
- She'd never go
out without her hijab.
LAURA: Maybe she didn't
want children, Mr. Omar.
Maybe she wouldn't
have sex with you.
- Don't speak of these things.
- And maybe you found out that
she'd given herself to another.
- You think all
women are like you?
Unable to resist temptation,
unable to remain clean
even if the world
around them is unclean.
- She was unclean
herself, in your mind at least.
She had given
herself to another.
And as bad as she
might have felt about it,
there was no undoing that.
- Maybe she didn't
feel bad enough.
Maybe she didn't
feel bad at all.
- I don't say
anything else to you.
I don't talk to you anymore.
- Hey, what's this?
- Alum sent over food in
honor of Greg's retirement.
- Wow.
- What, did you
finish the kung pao?
- There's a whole
other thing over there.
- Bridget coming to
your [indistinct], Greg?
GREG: She wouldn't miss
it for all the rice in China.
LAURA: I bet she's excited.
- Yeah.
JOHN: All right.
All right, thanks.
Yeah, I appreciate it.
That was BCA.
Varenka's prints in
there just came back.
Her real name's Dasha.
Her married name's Casanov,
and her maiden name's Yesen.
She's Sergei's sister.
ANDY: Let's go
talk to her again.
- We will be traveling
and coming into a fortune.
- Thanks, Gail.
- You got it.
- Step outside, Dasha.
- What is this, Dasha?
- Your prints came back.
We know you're Sergei's
sister, so you can drop the act.
- I think I stay here.
- We understand you're not
going to give your brother up
to save yourself, so
let's try another reason.
Us going to pick him up
is his best shot at
coming out alive.
- Because you care
so much for his welfare.
- You may find
this hard to believe,
but I actually prefer
not k*lling someone
I'm going to arrest.
- I do find hard to believe.
- There's cops all over
the city looking for him.
He's not going to be
able to stay hidden forever.
BALDWIN: And when they find
him, same thing's going to happen
that happened the last time.
He's going to come
out g*ns blazing
and now, they're going
to be ready for him.
ANDY: He's as good as dead.
VARENKA: So what
will you do different?
- Well, [EXHALES DEEPLY]
hopefully we'll be able talk
him into surrendering peacefully.
- There's no guarantee
that he'll do it.
- What is a guarantee
is that we're going to do
everything we can
to avoid hurting him.
Now that is not the case
with every cop in the city.
- But we need your cooperation.
- Why should I trust you?
- Because we're
telling you you can.
We're not going to
get ourselves k*lled.
We're not going to get
innocent bystanders k*lled.
But unless your brother
leaves us absolutely no choice,
we're going to bring
him in unharmed.
You have my word.
[♪♪♪]
Hold it, Sergei!
He's coming!
Hold it, hold it!
Hold your fire!
Watch it!
Take it easy, Sergei.
Take it easy!
There's five cops out here.
You're not going to get away.
Throw your g*n out.
SERGEI: So you can k*ll me?
- Nobody's looking to k*ll you.
Now we talked to your sister.
She called you because
more than anything,
she wants you to
get out of this alive,
even if it's in prison.
She wants to visit
you, write to you,
look forward to the
day when you get out.
I gave her my word that I
would try to take you alive.
Don't make her have
to identify your body.
Now back off.
Back off!
- Come on, get out!
- Get the g*n.
[SIREN WAILS]
[♪♪♪]
- Hey.
You want to hear the
translation of the last entry
Omar's wife made in her journal?
"God, please be of comfort to
the people I'm leaving behind.
"To my parents, to
my sister and brothers,
"to my husband Adeeb.
"It is altogether unfitting
"that you shower
love and affection
"on one such as myself,
"one incapable
of appreciating it.
"People have tried to
make a place for me,
"but there is no place.
"Here in this world,
there is no place.
God bless me and forgive me."
- What does the ME
say about the wounds?
- Not inconsistent
with being self-inflicted.
- I guess we need to
talk to her husband.
- Yeah.
We just got your
wife's journal back
from the police
department translator.
You might want to
read her last entry.
- We're sorry.
- Charge me.
- You didn't k*ll her.
- Yes, I k*ll her.
I bring her here.
I don't provide
for her a good life.
I don't take away her sadness.
I'm responsible.
- Do you want to call someone
to come meet you here?
LAURA: Or we could
take you home if you'd like.
- The Hadid is the
word of the prophet.
It says in Hadid if
someone takes their life
by stabbing themself
with a piece of iron,
they will be stabbing
themselves forever in hellfire.
This is why, charge me,
for her parents at
least not to know.
- We can't charge you with
a crime you didn't commit.
- For her parents.
- I don't know.
- Want to sit with
them for a while?
- I didn't get a good
enough look at him.
I can't be sure which
one of these is him.
So, come to any decisions?
- About the squad
command, you mean?
- Do you want me to
make the phone call?
- [SIGHS] I guess the theory is
someone from within a command
reduces the transition period.
- Is that a yes?
- If you were to make the
call, and things played out,
which I understand
is a long shot,
I guess I could see myself
moving into that position.
- Position of squad commander?
- Right.
- Does that mean you
want me to make the call?
- I only want you to do it if
you're comfortable doing it.
- Yes or no?
- Yeah.
- What'd the lieutenant say?
- He couldn't
make a positive ID.
- All right, well, we don't
have to tell that to Sergei.
- Have you talked to him yet?
- We were waiting for you.
- Why don't you guys do it?
- You're working the case.
- That's all right,
it's your case.
I'm just helping out.
RITA: You got a second?
- What's up?
- The homicide we're working,
turns out to be a suicide.
- This is the Egyptian?
- Apparently it's a major sin
to k*ll yourself if you're Muslim.
The husband's so upset
about the family finding out,
he's asking us to make it
a homicide and charge him.
- There any way we can
avoid putting it on paper
that it was suicide?
[SIGHS]
- Leave it open for a
month as a homicide.
Then reclassify it as a
suicide and close it out.
By that time, no one will
be looking to see what it is.
- That way, we
can at least tell him
her parents won't find out.
- We've just got to
run it by the boss.
Lou, we've got a situation
where this Egyptian girl
came back as a suicide.
Because of cultural
considerations,
it'll be good to maybe keep
that out of the official record.
- What Egyptian girl?
- This is the case we
caught this morning.
LAURA: The husband sent
for her in an arranged marriage,
but she'd been
engaged to someone else
who wound up
following her over here.
- Uh-huh.
RITA: They wound
up having an affair.
The husband found out.
Now whether because
of guilt of depression
or some combination of
the two, she k*lled herself.
- That's a lot of detail now.
- Yeah, it's just that we
feel confident it's a suicide
because there's a journal
entry in the girl's handwriting
that intelligence just
translated as a suicide note.
- The ME's office said the knife
wounds could be self-inflicted.
- Do you have this covered?
- Yeah.
- Then that's all I need.
I'm a big picture guy.
I don't need the who,
what, why and how.
If you say it's
covered, it's covered.
That's how I operate.
- All right.
- Now you understand we
don't need you to say anything.
Lieutenant picked you
out from photographs
and the DA has everything
they need to go to trial.
- Suit yourself.
SERGEI: What does
this mean, pick me out?
JOHN: It means that he
looked at your picture and said,
"That's the man who shot me."
- It's a mistake.
- He was five feet away.
You think he doesn't
recognize you?
- We know what it
was like in that hallway
because we were there.
- A lot of yelling.
A lot of g*ns.
Pretty chaotic.
- You might have squeezed off
a round without even meaning to.
- But if that's what
happened, you've got to say it.
Let's go.
- What if I don't
know he's police?
- Who did you think he was?
- I have all kinds of
enemies in this country.
- Okay.
So what, you opened the
door, you see a guy with a g*n,
you figure he's one of them?
- Why not?
- And that's why you shot him?
- One hundred percent.
- You're going to have to
write down that you shot him.
- Self-defense, yes?
JOHN: Yeah, you
could call it that.
- When I can see my sister?
- As soon as you
finish your statement.
- Think anybody would
notice if we snuck out now?
- Medavoy might.
- Oh, Medavoy
would definitely notice.
- We don't have to be
the last to leave though.
- Promise?
- I promise.
- Anybody have anything to say?
- Yeah, I could
use a few toasts.
[LAUGHS]
- To my partner, to my friend.
Greg, I know you
may not think so,
but most of what I learned
about being a detective,
I learned from you.
And I'm going to miss
being in that car with you.
I'm going to miss you dumping
all the paperwork off on me.
I'm even going to miss waiting
for you to order in restaurants.
I'm going to miss it all, buddy.
- Me too.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- As I look around this
table, I realize that you people
have been my coworkers,
my friends, that's big.
As long as I live, I'll
never stop being grateful
for having worked with you.
Here's to you guys and here's
to the guy who invented this job.
LAURA: Here's to you, Greg.
BALDWIN: Here's to you, buddy.
- God bless, Greg.
- Congratulations, detective.
- Thanks, Chief.
Bridget Scoffield,
this is Chief Duffy,
Chief of Detectives.
- How do you do?
- Very nice to meet you.
Would you excuse me?
Can I talk to you for a second?
- Sure.
- I don't know whether to
chalk it up to Lieutenant Bale
being on pain medication or
not, but I got a call from him
recommending you
take over the squad.
You know anything about that?
- Yeah, Chief.
I asked him to make the call.
- You asked him?
- He offered, but then I
took him up on his offer.
- So you're actually
serious about this?
- Yeah.
- You realize I've got a
dozen bosses ahead of you,
all waiting to take
over the squad?
- I understand.
- Don't get me wrong, Andy.
You're a great detective.
That doesn't mean
you're ready to be a CO.
- I guess that's an evaluation
you'll make for yourself, sir.
- Okay. It ain't
going to happen.
Not now. You've been a
sergeant for ten minutes.
You're basically
un-supervisable.
I mean, I don't get it.
What the hell was Bale thinking?
- Maybe he thought
I'd make a decent boss.
- I'd make a decent
head coach for the Giants.
That doesn't mean
I'm the man for the job.
- [SIGHS] I've got
time in the bureau.
CHIEF DUFFY: Every boss on
the list has time in the bureau.
- I know the squad.
- Which could be a
detriment to your command.
[CLEARS THROAT]
- This squad has been through
a bunch of command changes
over the past few years.
Every time they've got to
get adjusted to a new boss
with a new management
philosophy, they can do it.
CHIEF DUFFY: They have done it.
- Right.
But it takes
something out of them.
Instead of focusing
on working their cases,
they're thinking more
about where they stand
with the new guy,
whether it'll hurt them or not.
- What happens when
you get tapped to be boss
over in Major Case?
When you leave?
- That's not going to happen.
- Who says?
- I do.
Commanding this
squad, teaching them,
keeping them out of harm's
way, that's my last job.
I don't want to go
anywhere from there.
I'm not looking for
any more promotions.
There'd be nothing
else I'd ever want to do.
Anyway, there's more
qualified candidates, so be it.
- You want this job?
- Yes, sir.
- They want you
on the dais, Chief.
- I'll be right up.
Okay, it's yours.
Don't make me regret this.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[GLASSES CLINKING]
I'd like to thank
everyone for coming.
This is one of those occasions
that's happy and sad, both.
Happy on account of
we're celebrating the careers
of Detectives Tommy
Doyle, Queens Homicide,
Rick Torelli from
Barry's section,
and Greg Medavoy, 15th Squad.
We wish them well as they
embark on new endeavors,
enjoy their retirement
and so forth.
At the same time, we're sad
because we're losing
distinguished service
these three men provided
all these many years.
As your Chief, I salute you.
