[ sighs ] i got two kids i don't live with now. - how hard they comin' at you with this? - it's me, james.

but you don't wanna wind up like eddie murphy in that professor movie. oh, that's where i'm headed, james. no question. that's, uh-- that's the road i'm on. i'm in the suburb of that jurisdiction. well, anyways, i was just, uh, gettin' some coffee. - thanks for the input, james. - straighten this out for yourself. [ snoring ] so, this rapper, daddy kool, is pretty clean. - two years probation for a beef upstate. - [ sniffles ] uh, robbery squad says none of the other victims gave anything more than a general description. we got a hit on the plate, and we got nobody to look at. uh, this dildo rapper, he's-- he's gonna have a complete change of heart. -he'll help us when he comes in. -i'm nathan dee. i'm here for daddy kool. - scumbag sends his manager. - how's it goin'? we saw you at the hospital before.

mm-hmm. mm-mm. he asked me to come down here. uh, actually our request was for anthony to come. you need to understand that anthony got a lot of personal and racial history with the police department, and that makes him reluctant to cooperate. we need to understand that, huh? see, we would look at it less anthony cooperatin' with us and more him protectin' civilians. well, believe it, i wish you luck with that. oh, thanks ever so much. look, nathan, there was a bystander out there, got a plate number on a car. been busted twice for this type of stickup. now if we can get anthony to go through a photo array-- uh, he not gonna do that. hey. i don't listen to that crap you call music, but i know how world wide wrestling works. comes out, instead of some big rap war payback, this is just a regular stickup, you don't get to boost your record sales. andy, the industry's tendin' to phase records out.

growin' up in compton. police kept hasslin' him on his way to choir practice? look, everybody have they point of view, right? - i'm just tryin' to tell you how it is with anthony. - hey, nathan, you know, how would daddy kool look with his rap fans if we let it out, when this stickup happens, - he offers the perp a hand job not to mess him up? - easy, andy. - have i been disrespectful to you? - [ sipowicz ] nah, nah. your big jerk client handled that aspect at the hospital. okay. i wasn't there, so i don't know what got said first. okay. [ paper rustling ] now, i spoke to anthony about the incident, and this is how he described the guy. and that... is off the record. uh, excuse me, nathan. you know, i gotta tell you--

you want anthony to go through a bunch of mug books? we're talkin' about a couple photo arrays. should go by real fast. big daddy'd be in and out in five minutes. you don't violate him in buffalo, and anything he gives you is off the record. nothing gets out he came in. 'bout an hour and a half. with them, that's two hours and 15 minutes. - that szymanski's a piece of work. - what's he sayin'? no statement, won't authorize a car search. he's gotta let you look in his locker. yeah. we did that.

ymanski's doin'? - he's makin' himself wrong. - and your idea he's not. - hmm. - you mind if i talk to him? listenin' to him, you're the guy who put him in the box: transferred him, put him with a black cop. says he wouldn't be surprised if you knew the dealer. - who's the dealer? - some old... hype named clive? - he's in the pokey? - yeah.

since the night i stopped you for that taillight, my world's turned upside down. so today, when i.a.b. grabs me for whackin' up some dealer's bankroll when i never took a cent in my life, i don't chalk that up to bad luck. have you contacted your delegate? [ chuckles ] imagining conspiracy, szymanski, and start saving your job. you mind steppin' out, lieutenant?

- you're sure on that? - does somethin' wrong, he has to give up thinkin' how unfair life's treated him. i don't know if i want to be takin' that to my bosses without searchin' his car.

you give us a minute? arthur fancy, 15th detective squad. - hi, lieutenant. louis jones. - [ fancy ] you holdin' up all right? keep telling myself, i didn't do anything, i shouldn't have anything to worry about. you want to run the collar for me?

hat direction. sees us comin', everyone books except this one skeevy dealer. you know clive's last name? bell. szymanski took the guy into a hallway while i secured the vehicle. i come back, szymanski shows me three decks of smack and $11. so we move the skell to the radio car. he starts yellin' he was robbed. how soon does bell repeat the charge in the house? uh, like a half hour. holds off sayin' it till szymanski would've had time you're sure szymanski didn't do it? you think he might have? i don't. no. but i'm not about to put my badge up for a guy who says i'm in on a frame. szymanski said that straight out? hell, yes. when the rat squad showed up, said you were too. xxxxxx you off on a... car stop, huh? car stop had nothin' to do with any of this.

would you mind taking your glasses off? hey, check 'em out, and let's go, okay? he's askin' if you recognized anybody. [ scoffs ] you made that perp, didn't ya, huh? - you gutless scumbag. - boo got the car? you know, nathan, i don't really think this was a good-faith effort here. hey, what's good faith-- him doin' what you want? this guy robs or hurts more people,

innocent, huh, big daddy? never leave that out. catch you on the street, i'll cut your throat. -hey. -catch me on the street, you're gonna wish you never were born. - let's go. come on, pig. let's go! - [ all shouting, indistinct ] - get him outta here, boss! - phony hump! he's lookin' to make a buck off leavin' a shooter loose on the street! let it go, sipowicz! get him outta here now! think everything's about money? think everyone thinks like you. [ laughs ] enormous financial benefits. that was the victim of that street stickup. he wasn't givin' no cooperation. we're gonna be up all night again.

so we get to sit here all night hopin' he gets in his buddy's car. - you're sure he picked him? - that's why i had him take his glasses off. it was right in his lyin' eyes. [ sighs, scoffs ] look at these idiots. -[ simone ] hey, what are they doing wrong? -they oughta be asleep in bed. [ chuckles ] what? [ chuckling ] nothin'. rikes me funny, bein' tired. [ coughs, sighs heavily ] [ wheezes, laughing ] -[ snorts, continues laughing ] -[ simone ] andy. andy. the perp's good for the passenger. come on. [ grunting ] you got the driver.
