Post by bunniefuu »

NARRATOR: Previously,
on
NYPD Blue...

- All right, step
aside, homicide.

- How long you been
waiting to say that to me?

- It's the first
thing I thought of

when I opened my eyes.
- Hey, Sarge.

- Here.

- What's this?
- Open it.

- Scoffield Realty,
Greg Medavoy, Sales.

- When you're ready.

- I think I'm going
to put in my papers.

- Are you serious?

- I don't think I'll
ever love a job

as much as being a detective,

but I've got an
opportunity opening up.

I think I could have
a life with Bridget

and I'm never going to
have another chance like that.

[♪♪♪]

SIPOWICZ: Two of
mine, Donatelli and Perez,

chasing a suspicious male,

he throws a shot,
gets Donatelli in the leg.

LAURA: He get away?

- Back of the building opens
up onto Attorney Street.

Chances are he came out there.

LAURA: He all right
for us to talk to him?

- Yeah, go ahead.

- Hey, how you doing?

- All right.

- Did you get a look at him?

- Male black, 18 to 20.

He had some kind of
gray hooded sweatshirt

underneath an army jacket.

- A knit hat.
- Height? Weight?

- On the short side,
probably 5'5 ", 5'6".

- Thin build.

LAURA: What happened
before you took off after him?

- We see him walking
down the street.

At first, I thought
I recognize him

from having locked him up.

It looks like there's
a bulge on his hip.

I call to him, tell
him to come over.

He takes off.
- Into there?

- Right there.
- At first, I didn't see him

and then he jumps out
from around the corner,

threw a shot and took off.

- Did you guys
get any shots off?

- No.

- Look guys, we gotta get going.

- I'd like to ride with
him in the ambulance,

unless you need me to stay.

- That's all right.

We'll find you
down at the hospital.

SIPOWICZ: Hey! Hey!

What are you doing, huh?

You see you're blocking
an ambulance here.

Get this car the
hell out of here.

- Sergeant Sipowicz.

SIPOWICZ: I saw
that directly across

from where Donatelli got shot,

there was a woman
sitting in the window.

Name's Margaret
Gregorick, apartment 1B.

She was there at the time,

saw Donatelli and Perez
going through the building,

heard the shot. You
might want to talk to her.

- Sounds like you already did.

- It's your case.

- We have a report of a
homicide, 515 Bank Street.

Clark and Jones,
you guys take it.

- Hey, Andy?

- Yeah.

- Hey, Andy.

- Hi.

- Andy, let me get one
of you up in the squad.

- Medavoy, do me a
favor. Don't take my picture.

- It's my last day.

- I know it's your last day.

I just don't feel like
having my picture taken.

[♪♪♪]

- Who is she?

- Name's Deborah
Olshan, 37 years old.

Looks like she got hit in
the head with that statue.

- Who called in the job?

- A friend of hers,
Maxine Enunziato,

let herself in with her
own key around nine.

- Any sign of forced entry?

- Not that I can see.

CLARK: Looks like
whoever it is got her ring.

- There's also a
bunch of jewelry boxes

in the dressing room
that got cleaned out.

- Where's the friend?

- Maxine?
- Uh-huh.

- I'm Detective Clark.
This is Detective Jones.

- You found her?

- She was getting
ready to redo her kitchen.

We were supposed
to go to ABC Carpet

to pick out some tile.

- How'd you get in?

- I had a key from when
I housesat for them.

- Who's them?
- Debbie and her husband.

CLARK: What's her
husband's name?

- Barry Olshan.

- How did you know Debbie?

- We went to Midwood
High School together.

- Looks like she did
all right for herself.

- She married Barry
because she loved him.

As far as the
money is concerned,

she could have cared less.

- What does he do for a living?

- He's in the jewelry business.

- They have a good marriage?

- Beautiful.

She was a beautiful person.

You know, she was like a saint.

She was always, like,
you know, "What can I do?"

"What's wrong?"

"Can I help you?"

Strangers she'd help,

friends or family,
forget about it.

- Is there anyone
that you know of

who might have had
access to the place?

- Oh, please.

If someone rang the
doorbell, she'd let them in.

Are you going to
take a picture of her?

CLARK: Yeah.
- She'd hate that.

- I'm sure she would.

- What'd they do this for?

A diamond ring?

Gold chains?

- You were home this
morning, Mrs. Gregorick?

- I went to seven o'clock mass.

After that, I was home.

- Which would be what time?

- Mass is 40 minutes.

I stop at the candy store
and pick up the news.

I'm home by eight.

- The officer who
talked to you earlier

said he saw you
sitting in the window.

- Sipowicz. LAURA: Right.

- Polish names I
always remember.

- Is this where you were
sitting when you came home?

- Except for when I'm
watching my program

or asleep in the bed, that's it.

LAURA: What time
does your program start?

- Twelve o'clock.

- Did you see
any police officers

run into that
building around 8:30?

- I saw two of them
go in there together.

I wouldn't say
they were running.

- Did you see who
they were chasing?

- Unfortunately, I didn't.

- You didn't see a
black guy, 5'5 ", 5'6"

wearing a gray hooded
sweatshirt and an army jacket?

- I'm sorry.

- Did you see anyone that
fits that description in the area

when you went to church, when
you came back from church?

- This is who shot the cop?
- Yeah.

- I'm going to be keeping my
eye out for him, believe me.

- This is Mr. Olshan
and his attorney.

- Norman Haines, how do you do?

- Hi.
- Hi.

Now, why don't
we go back in here?

- I understand you need to get
started with your investigation,

but given that Mr. Olshan
just lost his wife,

if we can keep this
as brief as possible,

that would be very
much appreciated.

- We'll do our best.

- Mr. Olshan, when did
you see your wife last?

- I left for Shacharit this
morning around 5:30.

- I'm sorry, what is Shacharit?

BARRY: Morning prayers.

- Where do you do that?

- The schul's on Ludlow Street.

- And where do you
go from the schul?

- To the store.

BALDWIN: Which is where?
- Canal and Mott.

- What does your wife
usually do in the morning?

- Seven o'clock
she goes to the gym,

comes home, showers, dresses.

Then she comes into the store.

I'm talking about her
like she's still here.

- Mr. Olshan, were there
any of your employees

who might have been
given access to your home?

- What kind of access?

- Keys, the alarm code.

- No, why would I do that?

- From my understanding,
this was a robbery.

Is that right?

- It would appear some
things may have been taken,

but at this point,

we don't know if the
motive was robbery.

CLARK: Sir, we're going
to need a list of people

that you have working for you.

NORMAN: Guys, I'm not trying
to tell you how to do your job,

but an expensive
townhouse is a target

for anyone looking
to do a robbery.

Why are we focusing on
this being an inside job?

CLARK: There was
no sign of forced entry,

so that means that someone
either came to the door,

your wife let them in, or
they knew how to get in.

- There's no one working for
me you have to worry about.

- Well, you may be right but
we still need to talk with them.

- Is there anyone that
you come into contact with

who might be dealing
in stolen merchandise?

- Why are you asking him that?

- Because we'd want
to talk to that person.

NORMAN: Well, at this point,

I'm going to have to
terminate the interview.

- Counselor, we're
just getting started.

- By the nature of
your questioning,

you've made my client a suspect.

CLARK: No, showing
up with a lawyer,

he's made himself
into a suspect.

- Where's it written
you can't have a lawyer?

CLARK: Most people,
if they're finding out

their spouse has been
m*rder*d, don't call a lawyer.

- You're telling me

I'm not grieving
because he's here?

- You don't have to
respond to them, Barry.

- We're just telling
you it raises questions.

- I don't care what it raises.

I don't care what
you think of me.

I know how I felt about my wife.

God knows how I felt
about my wife, and that's it.

That's all that matters.

- I think we're done.

- So you and Barry
were partners?

- Right.
- His wife work here?

- Yeah.

- Did they have a good marriage?

- Who am I to say it
was a good marriage?

- As far as you could tell.

- They acted like
a married couple.

More than that, I don't know.

- Are you aware of any
of the people working here

having criminal records?

- Mister, this is a
legitimate business.

- Well, nobody's
saying it isn't.

- These people handle hundreds
of thousands worth of jewelry.

They're honest people.

Also, I watch them like a hawk.

- These are the
people working for us.

- Thank you.

- How well did you know
Debbie Olshin, Mrs. Zoe?

- I knew her.

BALDWIN: She worked with you?

- No, I wouldn't say worked.

When she felt like it,
she came in the store.

- [speaks in foreign language]

- They shouldn't know the truth?

She was not from the community.

Barry met her, very
exciting, very attractive.

Everyone said, "This is
not someone you marry,"

but Barry didn't listen,
so... now he has problems.

- And what kind of
problems does he have?

- To lose a wife, to bring
shame on your family.

- Do you think Barry
had anything to do with it?

- No. No.

She doesn't think nothing.

Barry, in his way, was
trying to be a good Jew.

He wasn't always, but he is now.

We mourn his wife,
Deborah, and that's all.

- And her friends.

- Shah, enough!

- All right, Mr. Zoe, we need
to speak to your wife by herself.

Please.

- [speaks in foreign language]

- Who were her friends?

- She had a friend, Maxine.

It's an Italian last name.

Dresses like a
streetwalker, smokes.

She comes into see Deborah,
acts flirtatious with the men,

and I'm talking now
about Deborah's husband

and about my husband.

- When's the last
time she was here?

MRS. ZOE: Last week.

She and Deborah had words.

I don't know what it was about.

All I remember is Barry
going over and saying,

"The answer is
no," like that, strong.

- Were there problems
between Barry and his wife?

- Naturally, there
were problems.

Barry was trying to
get back in touch with

what it meant to be a Jew,

and Deborah was trying to
be, for him, a good Jewish wife.

And with all that, this is
who she's friends with?

Decent people go
with decent people.

- Officer Perez, how's he doing?

- I don't know, they're
doing x-rays now.

- Well, maybe you could take us
through the sequence of events.

- I was driving. Pat was
in the passenger seat.

We go past the Gomper
houses, we turn left on Rivington.

Pat spots the guy on the
corner of Rivington and Clinton.

- What time was that?

- About 8:30.

- You saw what looked
like it could have been a g*n

under his coat and you
call him over to the car.

What happens then?

- He ran down Clinton Street.

We followed him in the car.

- Then what happened?

- About a third of the
way down the block,

he ran into this building
that was under construction.

Pat went in after him.

- What'd you do?

- I pulled the car over
to the curb, secured it.

Went in after him.

As soon as I got
inside, I heard the shot.

When I got to Pat,
he was on the ground.

I stayed with him.
- So you didn't go in together?

- No.

- Any more details on the
description come to mind?

- The hat he was wearing,

I think it had some
kind of logo on it.

- Well, we'd like you to come
over to the station house,

take a look at some mug books.

- Sure. Any word on
whether they found the g*n?

- Not yet.

- How long on the roots?

- Thirty minutes.

- Before today, when was the
last time you saw Debbie Olshin?

- I saw her last week.

- And where was that?

MAXINE: I stopped by the store.

CLARK: Just to visit?

- As opposed to what?

- Maybe there was something
that you had to talk to her about.

- Am I, like, a suspect here?

Is that what's happening?

- Well, we're talking to
anybody who knew her.

- Oh, yeah.

Well, she was
going to bank for me

to open up a salon in the city.

We were talking
about location, size.

There was a million and
one details to go over,

so, uh, that's what it was.

- Were you having an argument?

- We were like
sisters, all right?

I mean, sometimes we'd
yell, sometimes we'd argue.

That's what sisters do.

- Did it affect
your relationship

that she started to
get more religious?

- Oh, yeah it did.

I mean, when Barry
started getting crazy

with all this Jewish stuff,

Debbie had a big
problem with it.

I was her Kushite friend from
her old life, which, you know,

Barry's whole orthodox scene
wanted nothing to do with.

- You still went over
to the house though?

- Sometimes. I mean, you
know, we'd go to lunch or,

you know, she'd
go out once a week.

I mean, the girl still liked
to go out, Jewish or no.

- Well, was she meeting
anybody going out?

- What, as in, like,
starting to see somebody?

- No, like somebody who might
have spied a rock on her finger

and found out where she lived.

- There was this Russian
guy that we used to see

every once in a while
when we'd go to the clubs.

I mean, he was all over her.

She had this five and a half
carat canary yellow diamond.

It was gorgeous,

and I remember him making
a really big deal over it.

- Is there any reason to
believe he does robberies?

- I don't know, I didn't
think of this before,

but he used to tell us if
we ever needed Gucci,

Prada, or Louis Vuitton,
that he could get it for us.

- What's his name?

- Mike. I never
got his last name.

But Debbie used to
call him Russian Mike.

- What does he look like?

- He had short hair, thin face,

really, you know,
really Russian looking.

I remember that he dressed

nicer than most of
the Russians though,

and he had a spider
tattoo on his hand.

- Any idea where
we can find him?

- There's a restaurant
on Brighton Beach Avenue

called Olga's.

I think he said
he hung out there.

- She only wants
you, sweetheart.

Sorry.

- Can I go finish up?

- Sure.

- Making any headway
with this horror show?

- Some.

- Maxine's sick about it.

MAXINE: Lenny, get over here.

- Hey Jones, I'll
meet you up there.

What's new?

- Husband of the DOA
showed up with his lawyer?

- Yeah, might be that there's
some Russian involvement.

- Jewelry office works
good for laundering money.

- Yeah, that's true.

- So that's a good
arrangement, you and Jones?

- I think.

Obviously I'd just sooner
be back working with you.

- Don't be telling me
that no more, okay?

- Okay.

- Mike around?

- Who's that?

- Mike.

- I don't know Mike.

- Where's your boss?

- He's not here.

- Mike has short hair.

He's got a spider
tattoo on his hand.

- I don't know Mike.

- What's your name?
- Paulina.

- You tell us where
he is now, Paulina,

nobody will know you told us.

- Now, on the other
hand, if we find out

that you're lying to us,

we'll come back
when the place is full.

That way, everyone will know.

- Why you think I'm lying?

- He said if.

- I don't know Mike.

I know Misha.

- He fits the description?

- Two block this
way, a blue building.

CLARK: What's his
name on the buzzer?

- Norsikoff.

- Thank you, Paulina.

- You don't come back now?

- If we find him there,
we won't come back.

- Good.

- How's the leg?

DONATELLI: They gave
me something for the pain.

It's all right.

This is my wife, Theresa.

- I'm Detective Ortiz.
This is Detective Murphy.

- Nice to meet you.

- We need to go over the
sequence of events with you.

- And you want
me to wait outside?

- No, it don't matter.

Where do you want me to start?

- When you spotted the guy.

- Anthony was driving.

I was in the passenger seat.

It was about 8:30.

We called him over to
the car and he took off.

RITA: Where was this?

- Corner of Clinton
and Rivington.

- You follow him in the car?

- About a third of the
way down the block

where he ran into this building

with a construction
fence around it.

I jumped out, ran in after him.

- What about your partner?

- Oh, he came in after me.

- After you? DONATELLI: Right.

- What happened once you
got inside the construction fence?

- I stepped into a doorway.

I looked to my right

and there was some kind of
concrete forms for a stairway.

This guy stepped
out from behind them,

fired one shot.

I went down, and that was it.

RITA: Where was your
partner at this point?

- He came running in
after he heard the shot,

and then he stayed with me.

THERESA: If I know Anthony,

he wishes it was
him who got shot.

- Definitely.

- Anything else occur to
you by way of description?

- Did I say he
had a knit hat on?

LAURA: Yeah, you did.

- I think it had some
kind of logo on it.

- We've managed
to locate a witness

who saw the two of
you go into the building.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah, there's
some discrepancies

between her account
and your account.

- Like what?

- She said you and your
partner went in together.

You say you went in separately.

- Maybe she figures him
coming in right after me

is like going in
together. I don't know.

- She said neither one
of you were running.

- She's wrong.

- And she didn't see that
you were chasing anyone.

DONATELLI: So she didn't see.

So what does that mean?

Maybe she got distracted.

Maybe she's nearsighted.

THERESA: Pat, don't get excited.

- No, I mean,
they're acting like

there's some kind of
major contradiction here.

- It's also sounding a little
bit like you and your partner

might have rehearsed
some of your answers.

- Are you trying to piss me off?

- I think I'm going
to wait outside.

- We're just trying to
find out what happened.

- I told you what happened.

I got shot.

- We need to know
the circumstances.

- The circumstances are
exactly what I told you they were.

Exactly what Perez
told you they were.

Now I don't feel like
being cross-examined

while lying in a hospital bed.

So if you want to
play Sherlock Holmes,

you're going to have to
wait until I'm out of here

and I've got a delegate
sitting next to me.

- Maybe we'll talk to you again

when you're
feeling a little better.

That wife knows
something she's not saying.

- You think?

- I think we need
to go back there

and talk to her by herself.

- Patrol found a
g*n in a garbage can

near where the sh**ting was.

- Oh, yeah?

- Ballistics is looking
to work up a match on it.

Get one of you, John?

- Oh, sure.

Do you want me to
do anything specific?

- No, just like that,
just sitting at your desk.

- What's going on?

- Just taking a few pictures
to remember the place by.

- That's a good idea.

- Get one of you, boss?

- Sure.

- Boss, met a possible suspect,

a Russian on Brighton
Beach, knew the DOA.

Sounds like might be doing
robberies on a regular basis.

- You want to hit the house?

- Do we have to bring
an emergency service?

- With a guy like this,
that's the procedure.

- Any chance that, I don't know,

you could come along
so that we don't have to?

- Why? What's the problem?

- There's always
some jughead sergeant

who will want to see the
paperwork or seal off the block.

Everything with
these guys is D Day.

- I'll meet you downstairs.

- You want to
come with us, Greg?

- Where you going?
- Hit a house.

- Sure.

- Police, open up!

I'm going to take the door.

Get your hand up! Hands up!

- I'm hit. I'm hit.

- Who shot?
- I don't know.

- Where's the sh**ter?

- Down there.

- Which way? Which way?

- Take him back stairs.

- We've got a


CLARK: You'll be all right.

Keep your hands on it.
Keep your hands on it.

GREG: Put a rush
on an ambulance.

Have additional
units on the spot.

- Boss, look at
me. Stay with me.

Come on. You're okay.

Baldwin, chief of
Detective's here.

- What happened?

- We banged into the
joint for the one guy.

Bale hadn't gotten in yet.

Another guy comes
out of a back door,

got a shot off, and split.

- How's he doing?

- They just took
him into surgery.

- It ain't good.

- Who's with the
one you brought in?

- Greg brought him
back to the house.

- Is there a second
one out in the squad?

- No, sir.

- Andy, come here.

I want you working this case.

I'll notify the chief of Patrol.

Get out of the bin,
back in the suit.

- You got it.

Okay, guys, you heard that.

- How is he?

- He was still in
surgery when we left.

- Where's your lawyer?

- I... I wanted to talk
to you without him.

I talked to my rabbi.

He said there are
things I need to tell you.

- Like what?

- The reason I came in this
morning with my lawyer was

I was afraid you'd want
to look into my business.

- What are you afraid we'd find?

- That I moved money around.

CLARK: You laundered money?

- Yeah.

- Who are the
people you did it for?

- Look, I didn't come
here to cast blame.

I did this.

This was my transgression.

I don't think it
had anything to do

with what happened to Deborah.

- We need the names of
the people you did it for.

- This was a robbery.

I don't think they'd get
involved with robberies.

- We can't assume that.

- If they didn't, I've
gotten them into trouble

for something I'm
just as responsible for.

- Look, Barry, listen to me.

A police lieutenant was
shot and critically wounded

in the course of investigating
your wife's m*rder.

That means you don't
get to pick and choose

what you tell us and
what you don't, okay?

Everything comes out now.

- He could die?

BALDWIN: We need
names, Mr. Olshan.

- There's a guy named
Lenny Ruso who brokered.

He's the only name I know.

- How'd you meet him?
BARRY: He works with Maxine.

She doesn't live the most
upstanding life in the world,

but it was important

that Deborah maintained
that relationship.

Anyway, one day
she brings over Lenny.

- When was the last
time you talked to him?

- A couple of weeks ago.

He wanted to open
a salon in the city,

which suddenly
became my responsibility.

There's a lease that
had to be signed.

He had given notice.

I told him I didn't want to be
involved with him anymore.

- Has he ever
been to your house?

- No.

I kept all that away
from my house.

Then when I decide to
live a more upright life,

to stop doing
these ill*gal things,

I thought I got away with it.

Now God takes my
wife away from me.

You get away with nothing.

- Theresa, can you
think of any reason

why your husband would
lie about the sh**ting?

- No.

- Well, if he is,
it's really best

that we find out
sooner rather than later.

- And that it's
us that finds out

rather than Internal Affairs.

- Why would he lie?

- If he's involved in
some kind of ill*gal activity

and the sh**ting
stems from that,

he might be lying
to cover it up.

- Pat would never be
involved in anything ill*gal.

If you knew him, you would
never even suggest that.

- Well, maybe it's his partner
and he's lying to protect him.

- The both of them,
they're totally honest,

totally straight.

- They're not being
straight with us now,

and we need to know why.

- Pat has cancer.

- How long has he had it?

- We found out six months
ago that he had it in his colon

and last month,

we found out it had
metastasized to his liver.

- We're so sorry to hear that.

- I'm not supposed to
say anything to anyone.

He wants to keep on working.

He doesn't want anyone to know.

- Don't worry about that now.

- I don't know that it has
anything to do with this,

but I think maybe it does.

I should probably go
back in and be with him.

- Go ahead.

- I'm Sergeant Sipowicz.

The individual who was
present in your apartment,

who shot that police
officer, I need his name.

- Well, I tell you
what I tell other guy.

I don't know name.
- Your name's Misha?

- Correct.

- The thing you
have to know, Misha.

I don't care how
long this takes.

I don't care what I
have to do to you,

but you will tell me his name.

- What I don't
know, I don't know.

- Before we leave this room,
you will tell me his name.

- I've been in Soviet prison.

I've been beat plenty
before you come along.

- Who's the guy who ran?

- I don't know name.

- I think you probably are
a pretty tough guy, Misha.

- I handle myself not so bad.

- I think you probably could
stand a halfway decent beating.

- No problem.

- The building on
Bright and Fourth Street,

who else lives on your floor?

- Ukrainian woman with small
children, old Russian man.

- That's it?

- Also maybe guy named Willie.

- Willie what?
- I don't know Willie what.

- I guess I could see how
close I come to k*lling you

before you tell me
what I need to know.

I go too far, so be it.

- You don't k*ll me.

- We got you on ill*gal
weapons charges.

You are in possession
of stolen merchandise.

- I don't even do nothing.

- This guy shot a New
York City police lieutenant.

Do you actually think
that anyone around here

gives a rat's a*s
what I do to you?

They will take your
body out of here,

throw it in the
river and all I'll get,

if anyone finds out,
is a pat on the back.

- I don't sh**t no lieutenant.

That wasn't me who did that.

- That's right, but
you're the one I got

and you're the one who's
going to go to prison for it.

And I am not talking about
locking you up with no Russians.

Upstate New York, it's blacks,

Puerto Ricans,
Dominicans, wall to wall.

- How long?
- Well, put it this way.

You're a young man now,

you'll be an old man
by the time you get out.

- His name is Sergei Yesen.

- Where do we find him?

- He have sister in Rego
Park named Cascina.

He have girlfriend in Fort Lee.

I don't know name.
I only know building.

- Let's hope that
information is good.

- He don't fear
nothing, that guy.

No police, nothing.

- Let us worry about that.

- When's the last time you
saw Debbie Olshan, Lenny?

- A month ago, two months.

- And where was that?

- I think she was
out with Maxine

and I saw them at a restaurant.

- Who was putting up
the money for the salon

you wanted to open in Chelsea?

- We're still in the process
of looking for backers.

- Were you hoping for
something from the Olshans?

- Uh-uh, friendship
and business,

I believe you keep
separate. CLARK: Oh, yeah?

And I believe you're getting
pretty nervous right about now.

- Why?

Do I have that Nixon thing
going on around the upper lip?

Maybe I should go powder.

- You tried to hold Barry up.

We know this.
- Excuse me.

Once representations were made,

I thought they should
be made good on.

That's not holding anyone up.

CLARK: See Lenny, you
start negotiating a lease.

- I needed to
know I had a place.

- You gave notice at
the place in Brooklyn.

- Because I don't
leave people hanging.

CLARK: But when Barry told you

that he wasn't going
to bankroll a salon

and he wasn't going to do any
more money laundering deals,

you decided to get
the money another way.

- Sorry, homie don't play that.

- We're not saying you
did it yourself, Lenny.

If Maxine gave you a
key and you tell us that,

you'd be cooperating.

If Deborah came in
while you were there,

who's to say she
didn't come after you?

And you weren't
in fear for your life?

CLARK: You see, Lenny,
you're a licensed hairdresser.

That means your
prints are on file,

and we'll commit as
much time as we have to,

as many cops as we have to,

and we'll search their place
until we find prints that match.

BALDWIN: And at that point,
we don't need you to say anything,

and you won't be
able to help yourself.

- If I say I'm going to be
someplace at nine o'clock,

I'm there at nine o'clock.

People are like, "I overslept,"
"I had a personal crisis."

I don't do that.

I've been working
since I'm 14 years old

and my word is like gold.

- Well, not
everyone's like that.

- Tell me about it.

The Olshans are first
in, then they're out.

Maxine's going
to convince Debbie

and then she can't.

Debbie's not going
to walk in on me,

and then she does.
- What happened when she does?

- She went after me,

and I grabbed the
closest thing I could find

to defend myself with,

which just happened to be
some hideous marble statue.

- Maxine give you the key?

- She gave me the key.

She gave me the alarm code.

She told me where
their jewelry was

and what time her
friend went to the gym.

I mean, does she think

I'm going to take
all the responsibility,

all the blame, all
everything all the time?

Sorry, Maxine, that's
not going to happen.

- Anything?

- A couple were close,
but they weren't him.

- I think we have a
problem here, Anthony.

- What's that?

- The story you guys were
telling us doesn't check out.

- You found the g*n.

- Which you could have
easily put there for us to find.

The witness we talked to
said she saw you and Donatelli

walk into the building together.

She didn't see that you
were chasing anybody.

- We also know from Donatelli's
wife that he has cancer.

- What are you
guys trying to do?

Hurt him?

- Right now, we're just trying
to find out what happened.

- Pat Donatelli's faced
with dying of a disease,

getting ordinary benefits

and having his wife and kid
get nothing after he's gone.

- Are you saying
you falsified a report?

- Or retiring on three
quarters for a line of duty injury

that gets paid in perpetuity.

- Officer.
- What would you do?

Huh? What would
you do if it was her?

And what would
you do if it was her?

- We understand you're
in a tough position.

- He's just trying to
look after his family.

RITA: For right now, don't
say anything to anybody.

Let us see what we can do.

- What's going on with that?

- Donatelli has cancer.

The g*nsh*t wound
was self-inflicted.

- So he'd get three quarters.

- How do you know?
- Perez admitted it.

- Does he realize he
still gets three quarters

if it's an accidental sh**ting?

- I don't know.

- I don't know why
he didn't just say that.

Do we need to
call Internal Affairs?

- I'll adjust the paperwork.

It'll read accidental and
we'll hope for the best.

- Even though the bureau
thinks he was shot by a perp?

- Hopefully when
they find out he's sick,

they'll leave it be.

- Thanks, man.
- Anytime.

- Well, Maxine, we've
got a couple problems.

- What?

- Well, the first is you sent
us on a wild goose chase

that resulted in a
cop getting shot.

- What am I, clairvoyant?

I mean, am I supposed to
know a cop's going to get shot?

Look, I told you
about a Russian guy

who I thought might have
m*rder*d my friend. Sorry.

- Well, then that brings
up the second problem,

which is, Lenny just confessed.

- Lenny as in Lenny Ruso?

- Uh-huh.

He said he went there
to burglarize the place,

Debbie walked in, and
he wound up k*lling her.

- God, I think I'm
going to be sick.

- He says you gave him
the key and the alarm code.

MAXINE: I did?

I think Lenny's gone
off the deep end

is what I think happened.

- Look, Debbie and her husband

reneged on putting up
money for your salon.

It's not hard to understand you
thinking something was over.

- You actually believe him that
I had anything to do with this?

- Well, we're just
trying to make sense

of what happened here.
- Well, try a little harder.

I mean, why would I get
involved with robbing a girl

that I grew up with? For what?

- Five and a half
carat yellow diamond?

- No way, you've
got the wrong girl.

- Well, you do have a key.
You do know the alarm code.

- Look, Lenny could have
gotten in by ringing the doorbell.

I mean, Debbie knew him.
She would have let him in.

CLARK: Yeah, but then the body

probably wouldn't have
been found in the bedroom.

- And then there is the
matter of the phone call.

- What phone call?

- The call that Lenny made
to you after he k*lled Debbie.

BALDWIN: Now before
you say there's no call,

keep in mind we're going
to dump the Olshans' phone,

Lenny's phone, and your phone.

- And since what you
did after you got the call

was you went to the
house, you let yourself in,

and then you pretended to
have discovered the body,

it'd be hard to
find a grand jury

that wouldn't indict.

- Are you saying that I'm
responsible for k*lling her?

- It's not up to us to say
what you're responsible for.

All we can do is tell you

that it is in your best interest
at this point to tell the truth.

- Me and Lenny been
working on Avenue J

for six and a half years.

We weren't looking
for a free run.

We was looking
to better ourselves.

I mean, is there anything
so wrong with that?

- Not at all. MAXINE:
And then there's Debbie.

You know, same
as me, except now,

you know, she
marries a rich husband.

And she said she would help.

Then Barry got religion and
the two of them start acting

like they're having God
over for coffee and cake.

And then she
can't do it no more.

And meanwhile, he's
laundering money for drug deals

and she used to bang guys
to get a ride to Atlantic City.

Lenny's right about
one thing, you know.

Should have never said anything

if she wasn't going
to come through.

- You didn't know Lenny
was going to k*ll her.

You figured by the
time she came home,

he'd be long gone.

- There was a pair
of diamond earrings

and a double
stranded pearl necklace

in her top drawer
of her dressing table.

It was worth $100,000.

I mean, we would have been done.

But instead, he decides
to go see what else there is.

- And you gave him the key.

- Yeah.

- Hey, how's the lieutenant?

- He's out of surgery in ICU.

All they're saying
is he's stable.

- He had his spleen removed and
there may be some kidney damage.

BALDWIN: No prognosis though?

- Not yet.

- What do we know
about the sh**ter?

- I got the Russian to give
us his name and addresses.

Queens's homicide
hit the one in Rego Park

and the Jersey state
police hit the one in Fort Lee.

The information he gave us
was good, we just came up empty.

- Are we sitting on him?

- That, and turning
Brighton Beach upside down.

What happened with
the two you brought in?

- They went for it.

- Yeah, he went to do a
burglary and got walked in on.

She set it up. CLARK:
Yeah, what do you think

we should do with the
husband's money laundering?

- The guy lost his wife.

Let that be enough
punishment for one day.

IRS wants to go after
him for money laundering,

that's up to them.

- What are they going to do
for a lieutenant around here?

- They'll send in a covering
boss from the bureau.

- What are they doing with you?

- They want me
to work this case.

After that, I go
back downstairs.

- Isn't today Detective
Medavoy's last day?

- I forgot all about that.

- We're going to
throw him a racket.

- I know, but we should have
done something for him today.

- Let me go talk to him.

You know, with all
that's been going on

we kind of lost sight of the
fact that you're leaving us.

- I have to say, I've been
having second thoughts.

- Oh, yeah?

- It's no time to be leaving
when one of our own was hit.

- I don't know if that
should cause you

to have second thoughts.

- I've been part of this
squad for a long time, Andy.

When we divided up the chores

and went with finding out
who did some awful thing,

when we went out
to run them to ground,

I was part of that.

SIPOWICZ: Awful things
happen every day, Greg.

And every day they'll
be dividing up the chores

after you're gone,
after I'm gone.

- But you're not leaving.

- The day will
come when I will be.

And just like you, I'll take
some of this place with me.

Just like you, I'll leave
a part of myself behind.

The important thing is
that you've got something

that you're going
to be going to.

- Yeah, I do.

- It's probably right that you
should go when you planned on.

- Hey Andy, can I
take your picture now?

- Hey Junior, come here.

Why don't you take a
picture of the two of us?

- All right, on three.

One, two, three.
