sometimes i'd take small things. at doesn't mean i killed her. he'd be more likely to. why would you take things, mildred? i don't know. she'd get me angry, you know. she'd make me stay when i didn't want to. sometimes i didn't mind, but sometimes i had work to do at the other apartments i work for. did you take anything from miss dabrowski's apartment friday? - no, i-i don't recall. - her boyfriend said you took something. well, even if i did, i didn't have anything to do with murdering her. mildred, have you or your husband ever been in trouble with the law? - my husband. - stanley. did he ever have to do with miss dabrowski? a few times, as i recall. how would that happen? i don't know. she'd accuse me of taking something, and stanley'd go over there to straighten it out. - trying to keep your job. - yeah. i don't recall. i didn't do it.

that was missing? you're gonna have to talk to him about that. but it was the other one that was more likely to do it. the boyfriend was more likely to have killed her? you know your husband's got a record for assault, right, mildred? - got a warrant out for his arrest. - no. - you said that you-you knew he had a record. - no, i don't recall. it is possible, though, that your husband did go over to see miss dabrowski over this weekend? - isn't that right? - you're gonna have to talk to him about that. i've got work at 3:00. it's two buses. we're gonna have to keep you here for a while, mildred, till we talk to stanley. if she's stupid, she wants us to think it's the boyfriend.

is she strong enough for a strangulation? i think she would've probably poisoned her tea. the police need your help investigating the murder today of your neighbor frank sportelli. or call 212-577-tips. if you want, your call can be made anonymously, and the information will be confidential.

d for court. i had the runs really bad. that's why i didn't show up. you can ask my wife. ask her if i was sick three days. yeah, we'll look into that. that's why i failed to appear. i been convicted twice before. i always show. where were you this past saturday, stanley? wait. i thought this was about an outstanding warrant. where were you saturday? home with my wife. i thought this was failure to appear. that, stanley? no. anything you wanna ask us? no. you know which employer we're talking about? - no. - katherine dabrowski was murdered. this is the woman that you used to go and talk to after she'd catch your wife stealing. beg her to let her keep her job. i don't know from any murder. mildred said you might've been to see miss dabrowski over the weekend. no. if you weren't there, why would your wife say you were? - i wasn't. - the two of you ought to get your stories straight.

in dabrowski's apartment? that could be from another time, previously going to see her. after your wife had stolen? i'm staying with my story. even if your wife gives you up? i'm staying with my story. fine. josh, can you keep an eye on this guy? how the hell you gonna solve a case interviewing somebody like that? move mildred saying stanley gave her up? that may be too logical. - you're out of tea. - we just talked to stanley, mildred. - you're out of tea. - it's time for you to start cooperating. now, stanley said you had good reason for how you acted. he was real emphatic on that. you had cause for what you did? she was mean. she wouldn't let me work in peace. always complaining about something. i did good work for her. you'd never know from how she treated me.

and then when i had to leave to go to another job, she got angry because she wasn't finished talking. she didn't care i had another job. which explains what you did. that was stanley's point. i took a brooch and i left. that's the last time i saw her alive. after you took the brooch, what did you tell stanley? i was afraid that i was gonna get fired. and he's not working. we need the income. and so what did stanley do? i guess he went over there. he took the brooch to return it to her, and i don't know what happened over there. - what did he say when he came back? - i don't recall. mildred, don't ask us to believe that you don't remember what he said. i guess he said something like, uh, that everything was gonna be all right now. which is why i think it was the other one.

would've been the reason that he got into it. i think it was the other one. that could be a criminal mastermind in that room. i come out of there, i don't know what happened. i don't know what she said. plus i don't know if she knows. where are you guys on the dabrowski homicide? or the husband, or maybe both of them. - any evidence other than their statements? - not at present. when you decide who you like, remember, non-corroborated conversation between husband and wife is privileged unless both parties waive. yeah, well, our idea was one flips, and then the other one confesses. they knock new york on a lot of "quality of life" issues, but no one can deny this is the state to live in if you wanna keep your spouse from sending you to jail.

we appreciate your coming in, mr. campisi. why don't you have a seat? my wife, when she said you were looking to talk to me. there was some confusion when you left your home? your wife was already in the shower? yeah. i'd, uh, left previous. 'cause she said you'd left while she was showering, and that she heard sirens around then. so the shooting already had to have happened. no. i left previous.

ot gonna help him with his true problem, which was muscular dystrophy. yeah, but you helped him around the house. carpentry, plumbing. but his true problem was health and sadness from being sick. i guess his true problem today was somebody shootin' him. yes. - any ideas on that? - no. how could you tell mr. sportelli was depressed? people, one reason or another, you can't please 'em. i just kept working. i never started a job i didn't finish. the most recent was took his whole sink out, mount a new one, connect the pipes. now, that situation, there was a hairline gap at the wall. one person'll say that's what caulking's for. then an answer, "that's the sloppy way out." or you might indicate, uh, a warped baseboard. the walls bulge over the years. you're not gonna get a perfect fit.

sick with this whole situation. i-i can tell you're upset. of course i am. the poor fella died. how did that argument end with frank? over the plumbing? now, there, for instance, he botched everything he couldn't hold the chisel very good, so he ends up chipping the wall and cabinet. i says, "frank, i'm gonna re-caulk this thing... "and i want you to stay away from it. "and that's enough with the phone calls to runner and everyone else

so, uh, i'm on my back on the floor. ten minutes later, he comes back in with a gun. comes in with a gun. what's the matter with him? "sport, what are you, crazy? what's the matter with you?" he says, "get away from that cabinet or i'll blow your head off, i'll tell ya, i was-- i was so upset with this. so i get to my feet. twist the gun away. i try to walk out. he comes after me with a hammer. i don't even know how i knew it.

t on the sidewalk. and with the other hand, he's trying to get the gun away. i don't know how i wasn't strong enough with him having that disease. but i couldn't pull the gun back without it going off. i don't understand. i shot and killed him. that's my confession. all right, sal.

- no, she don't lie. - does she get things wrong? is she stupid in that way? she's ain't stupid. i said sit! mildred says between her seeing miss dabrowski alive and when she found her dead today, you'd gone to her apartment to keep her from taking mildred's job away. -all right, if i did. -you admit you went there? -you're changing your story now? you admit you lied before? i admit nothin'. what happened when you went over there, stanley? did you talk to miss dabrowski about mildred stealing? - how's that a crime? - nobody's saying it's a crime. we're trying to find out what happened. her and that woman had some strange thing between 'em. did mildred do this, stanley? we know it was you or her. and our thinking is behind you taking these two collars, you would make it look like it was a break-in, make us look different at what happened. this whole thing has the mark of somebody inexperienced, like mildred. no. it was me.

like you said, i went over to talk to her to get mildred's job back. - she started in arguing. - so you strangled her? you did this? you're not protectin' her? it was me. - what did mildred say when you told her? - nothin'. you tell mildred that you killllediss dabrowski, and she says nothing back? i didn't tell her. [ mildred ] there's no tea. - stanley says you can tell us what happened. - i don't know. your husband confessed, mildred. he said that he strangled miss dabrowski, and you could tell us what he said to you.

he didn't tell me. - [ chuckles ] - you're pattin' your head. next time somebody tells a joke aboutut dumb polack, you tell them one of these two people, both polish, is a criminal genius. the man said he did it, andy. and he's got meedoubtin. and makin' me think he might not have, or she is beatin' a a rder. well, i-- hey. how'd you do? self-defense. the guy came in. [ simone ] listen.

yeah. i can't now. um-- [ scoffs ] i had a call from one p.p., bobby. promotions list is coming out tomorrow. you're gettin' first grade. - is that ririt? - yeah. congratulations. no one else from the squad. - andy's not on the list? - no. how do they make that work? andy brought too much baggage. oh, boy. for what it's worth, i put him up. band? - guy's writing his statement? uh-uh. we got, uh, minor reservations did he do it. well, why would he be saying he did? well, neither one of them was 100% clear on their interviews.

well, she gets convicted, he still gets to get away. but evil criminal genius that she is, he knowss she. so they're both outside, and he's stuck with her. here, he's got a guaranteed separation. - do follow-up fives tomorrow. - yeah. he probably did it, all right? strangulation. i don't think she's got the hands. - thanks, boss. - yeah. good night. of course, she did scrub all them floors. [ knocking ] diane. [ door opens ] they send you back to this guy? i've gotta straighten out what happened. look, this xxxxxxx drugs you. but you don't think that he's ready to hurt yoyo in other ways? no. he's not gonna hurt me anymore.

you've gotta let me go.. look at me. look at me. are you looking to get hurt? are you looking to get hurt, d dne? no. do not get hurt.
