and now-now you do have his picture. what does that mean, he's in the building? i know this comes natural to you, steve, try to relax. how's it going? best day of my life. all right, tell us if you recognize anyone, and if so, from where? wilder's not in there. it's just us chickens in here, steve but don't say a name until you see a picture you recognize. that's gary wilder. past being a tenant in one of the buildings that you're a super at, where do you recognize that man from? running from the apartment where sonja hudson was robbed and-and raped and beaten. [ sighs ] are you gonna arrest him? we're gonna work on that right now. i'm not walking out of this building unless you put him under arrest! so you could become like a station house mascot?

cameron, what you just did took balls. and i respect you for it. we'll talk to the d.a. now. cohen's riding. i saw him about 10 minutes ago heading for the third floor. yeah. good. what's that about? you got a minute for us, detective? well, all the interview rooms are tied up then. well, maybe you can take it downstairs? - sure. - okay. you got a minute, cohen? being how no one else chooses to converse with me. what's going on, detective? i'm the last person to ask about that.

can you get the suspect to stand in a lineup? lawyered up. very strong i.d. from the witness. he's a super. the perp's a tenant at one of his other buildings. could the witness have made the i.d. off some kind of grudge? no. no. this this guy didn't want to get involved at all. he's scared out of his mind the perp will make bail and clean his clock. all right, we'll file on the guy. victim's on life support, but they think she's going out. can you get a high bail set off the likelihood that the charge goes to murder? - what's the collar's name? - gary wilder. - i'm gonna go lock him up. - all right. uh, i'm worried this mope witness could get hurt. would i xxxx you off asking you to, uh, put the high bail note in the file and call the arraigning d.a.?

bill of rights issues would be a lot more complicated. hey, this day's going bad enough. if i were you, i wouldn't be making any wisecracks. [ chuckles ] for the record, detective, have you been given your rights and told that this investigation concerns your use of department files to obtain information about a vehicle on loan to another government agency? yeah. could you move closer or raise your voice? yes, i understand. specifically, you ran a covered plate. what's the question? are you prepared to discuss the circumstances or reasons why you ran the plate? - no. - and why is that? i ran the plate. i put in my access number. i didn't try to hide what i was doing.

[ sighs ] are you gonna sit here jerking me off? [ scoffs ] you know, martens, i hope every day goes by i learn something from someone. you told me something maybe 18 months ago. which was what? everything's a situation. i thought we had a relationship, given the givens. i don't disagree with you. which is why i'm reminding you of the lesson you told me. how everything's a situation. meaning you're in a situation right now

[ sighs ] that's not gonna be good enough for my bosses, simone. i'll have to go after you. you do what you gotta do.

let me know if this is how's it's gonna be. i'll bring some books over. you want the cover charge back? yeah, that's what i meant. [ phone rings ] yeah. yeah, how's it going? i can't do that, joe. joe, how'd you get my phone? that right? i'm gettin' forgetful. yeah, good. uh-huh. take care.

showing me his long reach. - let's go in separate. - okay. i'm gonna have to beep this nervous little twerp and if i'm lucky enough to find him i'm gonna be standing in three inches of xxxx.

oh, yeah. yeah. bring up the note that you put in his file. that'll have a real happy outcome for the both of us. i want to know what the hell's going on. - andy, i told you, i can't - you told me xxxx. now these guys are pulling your 61s. that's my name on them things too. could i talk to you a minute? - get a lawyer. - think he needs a lawyer? - off the record? - sure. kiss my male organ. this will be off the record. yeah. all right. in case you wanted to know, that rape-assault? ey give this guy makable bail? how you gonna talk with this jerk? he's looking to hang you by your thumbs. strange things occur. - sorry about all that. - sure. do you think we eat kids for breakfast? i think humiliating the cop is part

if he don't start helping himself. is that what you wanted to tell me off the record? that plate you ran was covered 'cause it was part of an f.b.i. operation. - and? - and when we asked the agency about it, they can't release that information. i can't release it either. you can't either because you don't know or because you're in a situation you can't talk about? is that what you were trying to tell me yesterday? if i was in a situation, i guess i'd be jamming myself up answering your question. o if you could, hmm? you're getting caught in the switches, aren't you, simone? i'd like not to have you people going through my 61s like i was some kind of thief. i'd like not to have andy sipowicz up to get screwed just because he's my partner. my office is gonna hang you out.

but that's not you. i know what the f.b.i. is doing. i know they're looking at joe salvo. now why don't they want my office to know that? ask the f.b.i. it ain't even in your mouth, huh, simone? hook's right in your belly. i'm gonna work my shift. don't answer his beeper. don't answer any of the other four numbers he gave me till i thought he was never leaving the station house. but his beeper, that was 24 hours. that he sleeps with next to his ear. so i got that number. and i-i always got contact with him. and now he don't answer, and this xxxxxxx's on the street.

er! take it easy, andy. how am i supposed to take it easy, huh? there's rats all over this office, this guy's in trouble, and i don't know what the hell is going on! control your man, lieutenant. don't tell me how to run my office. what are letting happen here, huh? [ fancy ] that's enough. we gotta go look for this super, and i don't know if we're gonna like what we find. this is the rape-assault? now it's a rape-homicide, and maybe still counting. we're going over to his building. we'll want to be alert. does anyone on the rat squad follow us, lights. - are you lieutenant fancy? - yeah. what do you need? i'm lou garvey, john o'neil's boss.

well, um, we've got some preliminary pieces put together. um, riders' statements and so forth. i thought you and i should talk before we went much further. -appreciate that consideration. -yeah. we've spoken with the passengers. except for the idiot that hijacked the bus. yeah, except for that idiot, right. how's it add up for my guy? well, let me put it this way, lou. i could put a lot of manpower on this case, but whoever it is prosecutes that case has to involve the facts coming out that your man made an unauthorized stop. failed to safeguard his bus. now, i don't know how it lays out at the transportation authority but on my job, officer gets hung, boss gets strung up too. i hear you. other thing that concerns me, the more gets made of this i think the city's looking at some kind of lawsuit

as far as you know, has the press gotten ahold of this? [ chuckles ] no. i got that bus towed fast. i'm just thinking if low-key isn't a better way to go. hmm. lieutenant, uh, i'm not opening your eyes none if i tell you that, uh, there's some real bad guys out on our streets. with that element circulating and, uh, thank god, no harm was done with this bus prank, your people got better things than to go after it like a nuclear attack. i think we're on the same page, lou. tell 'em they don't need to get any hernias tracking this thing down. well, okay. it's good to meet you, lou. any new developments, i'll keep you apprised.

- did you just ring my buzzer? - yeah, we needed to get in. did you see the super? - he was taking garbage to the basement. - he's not here. we ought to look in the basement. she said he went down there. yeah, i heard her. i'm gonna go see this xxxxxxx wilder's apartment. we'll go there, then we'll check the basement. i'll check his place. i don't need your help. we're all gettin' to be real lone wolfs.

[ water running ] you murdering son of a bitch! - i found him that way. - you found him? you found him? - i ought to do that to you! i ought to blow your head off! - help! - help me! help me! - you shut up! you shut your mouth or i'll kill you! - don't do it, andy! - he killed that little guy! - he cut him into pieces! - don't do it.

care much for working on this. i thought under the circumstances i'd cover for her. pin a rose on you. let me know when he's booked. i'll walk the papers through myself. why don't you go in the coffee room, vince? i'll be with you in just a second. gentlemen. psst. hey, if you're their boss, i was beaten. probably not enough. - that's about me? - martinez and medavoy are talking to them? - it was an official request. - i didn't realize it was official. they're subject to discipline if they don't. - who's carrying the bag of silver? - cut it out, andy. - meaning what, andy? - split it 15 pieces each? andy, i was in there because i'm suspended if i don't - and james was in as my delegate. - and greg didn't say xxxx, which i told him not to, if you have to ask, and he didn't.

oh, man. we're making an official request to talk to you, detective. refusal results in disciplinary action. me having the right to counsel how i do i'll peruse the yellow pages for a lawyer, and i'll get in touch. same for you, detective. well, i'll want to use andy's when he's done. what's that about, bob? it's about him getting screwed and the job don't help him they need him to take his screwing privately, and he's gonna go along with it. you want to put this guy in the system? meaning you want me out of your way? nice working with you. anyways, i hope it all works out.

tell me you don't want to be with me. don't tell me where to go. i don't want to be with you. i got to figure this thing out. how do you feel, vince? terrible, long-term and immediately. i know about your health situation. is that what you mean by long-term? long-term coronary artery disease. plus i'm hungover, and i'm humiliated for what i did wedging that bus in the alley. here's where things stand.

whatever the reason, i don't think he's gonna push us to get a clearance. oh, lieu. hey. oh, my god. you don't know how grateful i am. - vince - i hope that don't mean his driver's gonna get jammed up. vince, will you let me speak my piece? i'm sorry. i'm-i'm just so relieved. you gotta retire. oh, boy. rent pension package. your heart disease. it's a job-related disability. you'll get three-quarters. the money isn't taxable. on the numbers, it's a better deal. i hate admitting i'm sick. but you are sick, vince. and you're out of choices. maybe that's why you stole that bus. you want me off this job? i don't, vince, no.

- today? - yeah. i hate for it to end, especially like this. i did a decent job. - now people are gonna think i'm a bad person. - no. no, they won't. you want to feel that people take circumstances into account, but you're never sure they do. - i just need a minute. - yeah. sure.

who's there? it's your relief, sam. all quiet? didn't see a thing, chief. nobody ever does. whatever the thing is, it's already killed 50 people. i never realized before how dark it is down here. stay on your toes, schmitter.
