[ sighs ] man, my mouth hurts. i got these sores my woman, she be criticizin' me all the time. plus she say they be clickin'. [ clicks teeth ] [ scoffs ] and you were holdin' 600 for someone else? a fella i do some things for. so you owed your supplier 600. you were gonna tell him the cop took that when he collared you,

[ chuckles ] you're so deep into knowin' human nature, arthur. how come that don't make you use dope? hmm. [ sighs ] on the gate. mornin'. so you do know clive bell. i started thinkin' last night, i might've known him when i was a cop. came in to check. same guy? yeah.

you're in his cell without permission or even notification. i think he'll tell you the same story he told me. yeah, 'cause if i put it in the report that he withdrew it to you, then i gotta do some explaining, and then you do. szymanski still refusing cooperation? yeah. szymanski's screwed anyway-- xxxx-poor attitude. well, i want you to know, i'm gonna talk to him. sometime when we both have a few days, two collars here, jermaine, and a whole pile of evidence lookin' you in the face. lawyer. oh, that's how you want to travel, huh? you were picked out by the victim and an eyewitness. ballistics matched with your gun. - ain't got your lab open this early. - that's a good point. all we're sayin' here, jermaine, cooperate before the evidence has you in a corner.

- is that "crow" like the, uh, bird? - hey, that's it. ask him questions in chirps. so, uh, you been rentin' your car out for stickups there, huh, crow? - [ mumbles ] i don't know. - we got your vehicle's got no signs of bein' broken into, has been i.d.'d by victims in three separate incidents. hmm. hmm. you know, maybe somebody made duplicates, or-- plus-- plus i lost a spare set of keys? somebody-- somebody might be usin' that. well, the only problem there is for the stickups. he told us that you rented him the car for a hundred and fifty a night, and you knew what he was usin' it for. right? [ slaps table ] stick with the dumb act, crow, you will do the 15 jermaine does. you explain your part here, you're lookin' at 18 months.

[ knocks ] - what do you want? - why don't you come in and shut the door. i think that dealer's withdrawing his allegation about you taking his money. that's good, 'cause i didn't take it. you're wrong if you think that ends it, szymanski. no. i'll just try to keep lookin' over both shoulders. well, you may not be doing that on the job if you don't get straight with i.a.b. [ scoffs ] those charges are wrong, and you just said they're dropped. and you refused a statement. fifth amendment's only for perps? you know 15-a exposes you to discipline. i'm finally gettin' what this is about. you look bad to i.a.b. off harassin' me. use this leverage here to make me tell them what a great guy you are.

i'm tryin' to get you to see-- it's all about race, lieutenant. then let's start there. admit part of why you broke balls at that traffic stop was 'cause i'm black, and i'll admit that part of why i tried to get you transferred to a black precinct was 'cause that xxxxxx me off. you make it sound like that's the end of what you did. well, it's gotta end somewhere, szymanski. now when i got your transfer rerouted to this precinct, i told myself, we start with a clean slate. oh, it wasn't like, he's under my thumb." look, i'm the boss of a detective squad, not uniform cops. maybe... what you say has some truth in it. i don't understand everything that's in my heart, but i promise you, what went down with that dealer, it had nothin' to do with him or your new partner bein' black. and it had nothing to do with me,

szymanski, mistrusting everyone, it only cuts you off. now i'm not putting i.a.b. up as great people to trust, but that's the situation you're in. you're innocent. tell them that. let's put that behind us. guy's been asking for the statements, uh, sergeant martens-- he's who i'd reach out to.

rr [ sipowicz ] i better not say nothin' in there. uh-- yeah, well, hang back if you want. [ yawns ] half-punchy, zero tolerance-- [ simone ] appreciat comin' . no, no. we're here off you lyin', saying you wasn't callin' his probation upstate. man, you dumb enough to act surprised. [ simone ] hey, we got a leg up on makin' this case. the only way we can pressure this guy is off a victim's i.d. i'm sorry, but that's the way it lays out. we are gonna do our jobs here. - [ switch clicks ] - what's that about? oh, i'm doin' my job-- prove he cooperated.

[ laughs ] hang on a second. i want you to realize that detective sipowicz is hangin' back on this interview, which he's doin' at his own request. - tell him to show me the pictures. - detective sipowicz recognizes some antagonism between him and anthony. don't want it to impede gettin' this perpetrator off the street. what he said to me, anthony-- "same how this kid had bad experiences-- "his uncle's death and so forth-- "i had similar experiences growin' up: "beat up in the projects, my father lost his eye. "i don't want my bad experience-- if that would affect me unintentionally-- "i wouldn't want that jeopardizing if this rap star is willing to cooperate."

every one of these stickup's been black-on-black. meaning what? [ sighs ] whatever that tupac shakur, uh, "conxxxxuous" b.i.g. difficulty was about, this isn't like that. anthony, we got a punk out there with a gun on the street who's takin' his own people off. plus, this one-- right now, his officer's just been notified. he don't cooperate, his probation gets revoked, we acknowledge that anthony is cooperating. we believe that, given anthony's cooperation, his probation should be reduced to time served.

show me the pictures. - number four in the second array. - yeah. we'd like you to take a look at a lineup. [ chuckles ]

you indicated you recognize number three. where do you recognize number three from, anthony? outside the ibex. all but number three can go. "k." you out of a job? about five times a month. anthony about somethin', whatever your cracker partner might think. so's my cracker partner. [ chuckles ] you know, me and anthony, we've been down since we 10 years old. and him dealin' with this gonna be the first night in a while,

bobby? what's up? special agent kriegel, special agent kazmaier. how's it goin'? good to meet ya. they wanna talk to me? actually, i-- i saw you the other night at hugo's.

yeah, you were at dinner with, uh, detective russell. you've known salvo some time. yeah. we've had him up for five months. he's a pretty careful guy. not careful enough that he didn't have dinner with an f.b.i. agent. enough he's given me small stuff that's good, and nothin' good that counts. so, what-- you think he, uh, has you made? get him to test you with a small favor. see how he moves when you do it. what's a small favor-- wheelman while he robs a bank? if you think he's gonna ask that from you first, you're not the smart cop everyone says. gotta talk to my boss. you mean detective russell? [ chuckles ]

uh, what it's worth, your chief of detectives thinks it's a great idea. meaning what, huh? meaning what from this smart-mouthed prick-- i-i don't do this, so he transfers me or diane? - you'd never pin him down he meant that. - lieu, there's a whole - lotta reasons why i wouldn't be that happy doin' this. - tell him no. don't want to do it, i can handle the chief.

hi, abby. um, i'm here with my decision on this entire matter. you know, some ways i feel like i've really imposed on you with all this, greg. not at all. what's more momentous than-- th-than wanting a child? well, anyway, it's a little late to apologize. abby, i'll be happy to give my sperm to you and kathy. uh, naturally, i-- i have some questions, uh, about the context. i-i-i mean, uh, i certainly, uh, am aware that, uh, we find out when i start ovulating. you ejaculate into a sample jar whenever you can. i see. i see. um, and-- and-- and the interval, uh, between, uh, finding out your state of affairs and-- and my activity i'm supposed to perform and then makin' that available to you-- what-- what's the entire interval there? it all has to happen in an hour and a half. ninety minutes.

uh, we'll, uh, work out the gist-- uh, any performance anxiety, so forth. - do you wanna sit down? - no. no, thank you. [ kisses ] hey.

ere legit. this joey salvo you met at dinner the other night-- stickup guy? alleged. f.b.i.'s had him up for, like, five months. they want me to get involved with him. were you and salvo tight? nah. i was into my birds. this guy was already half an ali baba. he went away when he was, like, 16. i saw him in this fistfight once. there was this kid, timmy flynn, who was thin, but tough kid. these two guys, they're goin' at it for, like, 10 minutes before the gym teacher comes and breaks it up. [ scoffs ] and that was the first i saw joey in a fight and not walk away a winner. so that night, somebody caves timmy's head in with a ball bat. killed him? no, he lived for, like, six months. [ quietly ] oh. couldn't-- couldn't talk.

half the days he'd have seizures. joey, he would, uh, always, you know, crouch next to him, ask him, "how ya doin'?" he's a real bad guy. that's a tough guy to work. hey, if i do him some small solid, they just wanna see how he's gonna pick up. what was it that we were doin' there in the bathroom? if you don't want to do it, bobby, don't do it.
