Trials & Tribulations

NARRATOR: Last season on NYPD Blue: You're with him on the job.
You're with him all night.
Clip him.
Pull the trigger.
Is that what happened? Did you take him out? - We could have a life.
- Is that what happened? My employer is in possession of private records that Angelo Marino kept.
Tommy's using secondhand appointment books, "A.
M.
" - This was in there? SIPOWICZ: Yeah.
Licalsi's name is in that book.
I'm not telling you how to run your life.
I'm just telling you where the notebook is.
Do what you gotta do.
If we were together, you'd start to hate me because of what you did for me.
I'm just glad you're all right.
Goodbye, Johnny.
I know somebody we can talk to.
He's a good listener.
- How much can I tell him? - Everything.
I committed a crime, Father.
I killed Angelo Marino and his driver.
KELLY: Give me your hands.
You ready? FEMALE REPORTER: What is it worth? - Out of my way.
LICALSl: John.
- I'm here, Janice.
[KNOCKING.]
KELLY: Hey.
- Hi, Johnny.
Come on in.
LICALSl: I squared the block twice.
Nobody followed me.
Come on in.
Sit down.
What's up? I'm worried about you testifying.
- It's gonna go okay.
- How can it go okay? If you open your mouth, you have to lie.
- Then they'll come after you.
- I'm gonna take care of myself.
You talk to Sinclair? Yeah.
He likes the jury.
He thinks the first two days went okay.
He give any reason why this Gina Zarone is gonna testify? He thinks it's about Marino's ledger.
Johnny, I did what I did, and I'm ready to go away for it.
That's not right.
If you were not a cop, this would not be happening.
- A DA would let you plead.
- I couldn't live with myself if it brings you down too.
Come here.
Come here.
Now listen to me, okay? We are gonna get through this.
Did you hear me? I love you.
I'm always gonna love you.
You know You know we're making this Right? We don't need to confuse this now.
- I'm not going to say I'm sorry.
- I don't want you to say you're sorry.
I think you should go.
We don't want to confuse this.
Am I right? - Uh-huh.
- Okay.
I will see you tomorrow in court, right? See you tomorrow.
Trials and Tribulations Detective Kelly, you were the investigating officer in the deaths of Angelo Marino and his bodyguard, Anthony Capella? - Right.
- According to her statement you had a personal involvement with Janice Licalsi who confessed to committing those murders.
You were sleeping with her before and after.
Detective, is it your testimony that despite this intimate relationship you never suspected she might've committed these crimes? - Right.
I now call your attention to a murder that occurred two months after.
You were also the investigating officer in the death of Thomas Linardi.
I was one of the investigating officers.
Did there come into your possession during that investigation a ledger which had belonged to Angelo Marino and which listed officers who had been on Marino's payroll? I collected the ledger at the Linardi crime scene.
Does Janice Licalsi's name appear in this document? No.
The book lists police officers who were on Marino's payroll.
By her own admission, Janice Licalsi was working for Angelo Marino yet her name does not appear.
KELLY: What's your question? The Intelligence Division believes pages have been torn from the Marino ledger.
- Do you know how that happened? - No.
For how many days was the ledger in your custody? - Two days.
SINCLAIR: No foundation the pages were removed during that time frame, Your Honor.
He didn't make that allegation.
ABRAMS: I'll put it to you directly, detective.
Did there come a point during the Linardi investigation at which you discovered Miss Licalsi's complicity in the Marino murders? - No.
- Did you not confront her with your find? - No.
- Out of love or loyalty, did you not suppress evidence so she could come forward as a martyr in a better light? I didn't suppress evidence and had nothing to do with her coming forward.
I wanna recall Detective Kelly following testimony from a subsequent witness.
Nothing more for him at this time.
She came forward on her own.
Stand down.
You're to be available for recall.
You know when you'll be back? MEDAVO Y: I'm going to the firing range.
As long as it takes to qualify.
Are you sure I can't get you anything? - No, thank you.
DONNA: Here's the detective.
SIPOWICZ: How are you doing, Mrs.
Carlin? SIPOWICZ: How are you doing, Mrs.
Carlin? FANCY: Andy.
- Yeah.
- I'd like to get my husband released.
FANCY: Step into my office.
Come here.
Step over to my desk.
Well, he's missing work, and I'd like you to get him out.
The charge can't be dropped till the hearing.
I'm not pressing the charges at court.
And he's in jail, and he's getting really angry.
Come here, I wanna show you something.
- What? SIPOWICZ: Come with me.
Anybody? Come on in here.
Come here.
- Take off your glasses.
- Why? Just Just take them off.
[WATER DRIPPING.]
Here, take a look at yourself.
You can just about see you under those bruises.
He'll learn this time.
This time he went to jail.
You're kidding yourself.
If you don't follow this complaint out, your husband's not gonna learn anything.
He's gonna get released from Rikers.
He'll blame you for the two days he spent inside.
And he's probably gonna give you the worst beating you ever had.
Did you call any of those numbers I gave you? I can't move out.
He pays on my mom at the aged facility.
He pays on some of her medicine.
You can't work? I go look after her every day.
Look, I'm gonna make some calls and meet you at that hearing tomorrow.
You can't get him out now? No.
No.
Can I please have my sunglasses back? Yeah.
THERESA: Thanks.
SIPOWICZ: Here, this way.
I'll see you at the hearing tomorrow, Mrs.
Carlin.
- Hey, how'd it go? - Peachy.
- Abrams come after you? - Yeah, bigtime.
He's making it look like Licalsi confessed because I found out.
SIPOWICZ: I hate that fat prick with his wimpy beard.
Richie Catena's bimbo is gonna testify on the Marino ledgers.
John, you should've done with that ledger what Nixon should've done with the tapes.
- Another smack dealer got robbed.
- Well, let's rush right over.
John, IAB's looking at you.
Yeah, they had a guy on me at court.
I got the message.
No mistakes.
[MUMBLING.]
KELLY: Where you get that eye, son? Some guys ran out that door when he was coming up.
- Pushed him down the stairs.
- They rob the guy in this apartment? - I think so.
- You think he's dealing drugs? I wouldn't know.
I wouldn't wanna get in trouble.
All right, come on, son.
MAN: Yeah? - New York City detectives, Mr.
Ramos.
You wanna open up, please? We wanna talk to you about getting robbed.
Look, man, what I got to say I said to the uniforms already.
Couple of guys I did not get a look at came in cuffed my ankle to the radiator, tossed the place and left.
Mistake, I figure.
Hey, what you doing, man? Reports say you knocked on the wall, got the neighbor? RAMOS: He called the cops.
I didn't.
- Where's the neighbor now? He got chest pains off it.
He went to the hospital.
KELLY: You dealing? - No, man.
What are you doing? That's a private bedroom there.
I thought I heard voices, singing.
Cooperate, it's gonna go easier on you.
- I told you what I know, all right? SIPOWICZ: Not dealing? So these are the scales of justice? - They say you're a lying turd.
- I'm asking you guys to leave, man.
We gotta counsel you how to handle a robbery attempt should it happen again.
The best way an asshole like you should respond is to seize up the intruder's gun in your mouth.
is to seize up the intruder's gun in your mouth.
Try to jerk it from his possession.
If it goes off in your throat, we'll arrest the guy, and there's justice all around.
Now you keep that in mind if you get another scale, you jerk.
[HELICOPTER HOVERING.]
I don't mind them robbing drug dealers.
But pushing kids down the stairs We should set up on one of these places.
MALE REPORTER: Would you comment? FEMALE REPORTER: Any comment? I have nothing to say.
Twice you stepped on my foot.
Don't step on my foot anymore.
- Kelly.
SIPOWICZ: Oh, boy.
I don't want to hassle you, but you don't return my calls.
- What's he trying to tell you by that? GARDNER: Give us just 30 seconds? KELLY: Norman what makes you think if I were to talk, it'd be you? Would $ 100,000 change your attitude? That's what I've been calling you about.
Not interested.
My people will give you 100K for an exclusive interview after the trial.
Not interested.
You're not interested in 100 grand? Is someone putting Prozac in your granola? No more messages, no more calls.
Got it? If you ask me, what's coming out of that courtroom you should start looking at new sources of income.
Same as the others.
Two guys hit the apartment, and that sack of crap says he never got a look at them.
FANCY: You catch him dirty? - No, but he's a definite.
Guys that robbed him ran over some kid going down the stairs.
We wanna set up at one of these places before we wind up with a homicide.
Martinez popped a guy for criminal receiving, has priors for narcotic sales.
We got him in 1.
Use him if he's what you need.
SIPOWICZ: All right, thanks.
IAB wants the logbooks and roll calls from the Linardi investigation.
- They're coming after John.
SIPOWICZ: What did the girl testify? I don't think they're waiting to find out.
SIPOWICZ: All right.
Lieutenant says Martinez got a guy we can use in Interview 1.
Good.
Let's go talk to him.
SIPOWICZ: I'll meet you.
So how's it going? I got your message on amending the Carlin complaint.
- Yeah.
Can we do that? - On what basis? On the basis the guy bit me.
I picked him up at that bar, he left a full dental impression on my knee.
Is the wife dropping the battering charges? Is that what this is about? - I think she's gonna drop them.
- You want the husband off the street.
Believe me, this guy is wrong.
He's been using this woman for a speed bag.
With the underlying charge withdrawn the judge will never let me amend.
Get the woman some referrals.
The husband's gonna walk.
Yeah, all right.
So how are things otherwise? They're okay.
I I hope to have something to say to you soon on a personal matter.
Why don't you just say it? At this point, I gotta wait.
All right.
I hope it'll be very soon.
Just wanted you to know.
Excuse me.
All right.
You got a drug problem, Tahir? TAHIR: My only problem's with the police.
KELLY: You dealing now? TAHIR: Definitely not.
KELLY: We know you're moving product.
- We toss your place and find drugs it's an extra felony.
You lost a chance to help yourself.
- How can I help myself? KELLY: You want to cooperate? See, that's what I'm looking for, man, is a fresh start.
Boosting that CD player was a mistake, but I only did that because I moved into a new place.
- Gave yourself a housewarming gift.
Guys are breaking into dealers in your area.
Tried it on me last week.
We wanna set up your place, put a camera in.
TAHIR: That'd get this dropped? - Depends on how we do.
- I'm down.
Set it up.
You'll be wearing a vest.
We'll be close by.
I must tell you, there'll be risks.
TAHIR: No more than usual, man.
That comes with this lifestyle.
We don't wanna see you dirty on this camera, Tahir, you understand? All we want on that camera is if you get robbed.
Could you see into the crapper? No.
No camera in the crapper.
So anything self-incriminating, that'd be the place to do it.
Why don't you just use your head and keep your mouth shut.
I got a really good feeling about this.
Hey, how'd it go at the firing range? How'd it go, Donna? I spent an hour each direction on the bridge bunged up in traffic.
I got bit by green flies at Rodman's Neck.
I got bit by green flies at Rodman's Neck.
And then I mutilated my thumb adjusting to the slide action on the 9 mm weapon.
Greg, stop a minute and talk to me.
- What's the point? - The point is to stop and talk.
Ever since these settlement meetings with your wife you're in another solar system.
Yeah, well, so long from Planet Medavoy.
- Gregory.
- It's useless, Donna.
It's hopeless and useless and a waste of your time.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Fifteenth Squad.
Yeah.
James Sinclair, detective.
And Robin Wirkus said she'd meet you at the Jive Bar.
Okay.
Kelly.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
All right, I'll see you in the morning.
Right.
- Thanks a lot.
- Yeah.
KELLY: I'm going back tomorrow.
[PHONE RINGS.]
DONNA: Fifteenth Squad.
- I guess this girl jammed me up.
- Did she say what she saw? I don't care what she said she saw, Andy.
She was not there.
She's lying.
She went to Abrams looking to earn with something her dead boyfriend told her.
He gives her a short course in the hearsay rule, and her memory gets vivid.
- Looks like you're up.
- I gotta talk to this guy.
- Okay, we'll talk later? - All right, John.
- Call me tonight if you want.
- Yeah.
Thanks.
Hey, man.
BREEN: It's a different job now.
Hispanic fellas, women a puff-a-smoke, a working lieutenant.
- I've been waiting for you to call me.
- Did you speak to her today? - No.
You said don't until you called.
I had second thoughts.
I don't want you asking her out today.
- Dan, you are driving me crazy.
- Who's the boss with 18 years of sobriety? Who did you ask to be your sponsor? All right, you've been a big help, but I disagree with you on this.
It's my decision to wait.
I wanna give this more thought.
- I'll not put your progress at risk.
- When can I ask her out? I don't know.
You'll wear on yourself with your impatience.
- That's it? - Remember, G.
R.
I.
P.
Growth.
Resolution.
Intention.
Purpose.
We'll speak soon.
Yeah.
Grip this.
WOMAN: - so-called Blue Murder Trial of former police officer, Janice Licalsi.
Afternoon testimony supported the prosecution 's contention that Detective Kelly had known of his lover's involvement with organized crime.
Gina Zarone, shown here leaving the Center Street Courthouse stated she had seen Jerry, another one for the gentleman down there.
- A soldier in the Marino crime family at which Licalsi was shown xeroxes of the Marino diary.
BARTENDER: Another one? KELLY: No, thanks.
- You sure? - Yeah, I'm fine.
- Zarone as a surprise witness on the grounds her life was threatened on several occasions, and her testimony You mind if I say that I recognize you? - I'm not looking for conversation.
TIM: Sorry.
- Hey, Johnny.
- Absolutely.
New York's finest.
ROBIN: Sorry I'm late.
- No problem.
This girl shoot anybody yet? Huh? Hey, why don't you go sit and talk to your new friend? You've had too much.
Take it outside.
- This ain't Rwanda, pal.
- Call it a night, Tim.
The hell with you, Jerry.
This isn't a police state yet.
[TIM SCREAMING.]
You're a liar up there.
I hope that bitch gets life, and they kick your ass off the force.
- Don't come back.
Don't come back.
- Yeah.
I pay your damn salary.
- You okay? - Yeah.
How was your day? Okay.
Last five days have been okay.
Yeah, it's been a little hectic.
So how's she doing? How's who doing? Who? Hillary Clinton who.
She's doing okay.
She just wants this part of it over.
She wants to get sentenced.
Let's get some menus.
Could? Thank you.
MAN: Waiter? Yeah, uh I still have feelings for her.
- Janice Licalsi? - Yeah.
Yeah, I guess you do.
Have you? Have you been seeing her? I saw her last night.
- You sleep with her? - No.
No, it's just that You know, it's, like, a mess and she's going to jail and Let me Let me ask you a question, Johnny.
When a person's in trouble, you get very protective.
And let me just ask you, when you say feelings could it be those or? No.
I have feelings for her.
I guess we ought to stop seeing each other.
I'm sorry.
Hey, we were friends before.
We're still gonna be friends, okay? You love who you love.
And I'm not I'm not hungry.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Let me get you a - No, please, I can get home.
I'll call you.
Okay.
DONNA: This is the gentleman, lieutenant.
- Are you John Kelly's superior? - Yeah, how can I help you? My name is Timothy Miller, and I'd like to file an assault complaint against him.
Why don't you come in my office? - Are you familiar with the incident? - Tell me your side.
My side of it is, I'm having a beer, and I recognize this asshole off the TV.
I say hi to him.
He gets hysterical about his privacy.
Next thing, I get it in the solar plexus.
I'm still bringing up bile.
So you want to file a complaint? Hell, yes! And maybe a lawsuit.
I'll get a detective to take the information I'll get a detective to take the information but we're gonna look real hard at your story.
The brass knuckles don't sound right.
The unprovoked assault doesn't sound right either.
Are you sure you weren't drunk and mouthing off, and he helped you out? So this is how it works, the big blue wall.
How it works, Mr.
Miller, is you file a complaint.
Then we ask Kelly if he wants to cross-complain.
We get statements from the bartender and witnesses about who provoked the incident.
Then we decide who gets locked up.
You want me to get a detective in here? I want you to know just what kind of people you have working for you.
I know what kind of people I have working for me, Mr.
Miller.
Can you find your way out? How long of a waiting list? No, no, no, forget about the homeless shelter.
She'd just have six people hitting her instead of one.
Thanks anyways.
Hey, John, come here.
What's going on? Some guy was just in here saying you beat him up in a bar fight.
This guy was mouthing off to me, and I asked him to leave the bar.
He threw an elbow at me, so I helped him.
- Then you beat him up? - I moved him outside.
- He file a complaint? - No.
How'd that happen? - You all right, John? - Yeah.
What time do you testify? I see Sinclair in a half an hour.
FANCY: All right.
Why don't you stay around here until then? You won't get in any jackpots in here, will you? - I don't think so.
- All right.
Detective? SIPOWICZ: Hey.
- Dan, you have a decision for me yet? - You and I are gonna have a contract.
Any slackening in your program, any losing focus, I'm gonna step in.
- Are we clear on that? - We're clear.
As long as we have that contract, you can ask her out.
Listen, seeing Sylvia, it's It's not gonna get in the way.
It's gonna be helpful.
We'll see.
You gonna wear that tie when you ask her out? Yeah.
There's something wrong with that tie.
- I don't have another tie with me, Dan.
MARTINEZ: Excuse me.
- I'm wearing this tie.
- I need to talk with you and John.
- What's your name? - James Martinez.
- Dan Breen, James Martinez.
MARTINEZ: How do you do? - Dan used to be on the job.
- Is that right? - How tall are you, Martinez? - Almost 5'8".
- How tall are you, Martinez? - Almost 5'8".
- When I came on, you had to be 5' 10".
- I'm glad they lifted that regulation.
Fellas used to try all sorts of rigs, weights around the feet and so forth, trying to make the limit.
- Is that so? Anyways, listen, Dan, I'll keep you posted how that other thing goes.
- Okay.
Good to meet you, Martinez.
MARTINEZ: Same here.
MEDAVO Y: No.
No, I do not want to prolong the negotiations.
No.
No.
Goodbye.
DONNA: You're rubbing your ears a lot.
I think I got fungus at the firing range yesterday.
DONNA: Can you get a fungus that fast? - Evidently.
Thousands of men wear those ear protectors.
Besides, I don't know why Fancy picked me to qualify anyway.
I thought everyone has to.
I mean, but he picked me first.
Do you want my opinion on something, Gregory? - What? - You're resisting new experience.
- What are you talking about? - The end of your marriage.
I'm talking about Ethan Cohen's Grief and Recovery.
It's an emotional handbook for divorce.
It says, when a marriage breaks up, the couples mourn.
They resist new experience, and they have a general sour outlook.
My sour outlook's because I'm getting screwed in these settlement hearings.
Ethan Cohen says to relax and let your situation unfold.
I'm getting dismantled, possession by possession, dollar by dollar.
This too shall pass, Gregory.
That's what he says to keep reminding yourself.
Now, do you want to hear my plan to help that happen? - What? - This Sunday we go to Madison Square Garden.
We watch the Rangers skate onto the ice.
And we lift our eyes to the rafters and we gaze upon the Stanley Cup banner hanging in all its championship splendor.
Gregory, if that doesn't tell you dreams can come true and the future can be what you make it you haven't got a heart in your chest.
I got a heart.
And I got blue seats.
This is from last night.
TAHIR: Could this happen? KELLY: Tahir? MARTINEZ: Uh-huh.
- Me, in the department, permanent.
I wouldn 't have to go to the academy or nothing because I can handle a piece already, throw down with anyone.
[SIPOWICZ CHUCKLES.]
Nice uniform, and I'm smooth.
I can smooth KELLY: What are we looking at, James? TAHIR: Who is it? MAN: Shakeem, man.
Open the door.
- Here comes the other guy.
Look at this.
I'm rolling in it now, man.
Just took off two dudes over on Hudson, some tourists.
Got me $500.
Look here, man, why don 't you let me get a couple of eight balls? TAHIR: Let's go in the can.
- I don 't want to go.
- I wanna show you something.
- I don 't wanna see.
TAHIR: Shakeem, for your own good.
Do I grab Shakeem for the robbery before the surveillance is over? SIPOWICZ: Can you put a finger on him? - Tahir gave up his usual places.
If they file a complaint, then the victim can ID Shakeem off a photo array and you grab him off that.
If he doesn't pick the photo, you hold the pop until the surveillance folds.
- Okay.
- We'll watch the apartment tonight.
Okay, thanks.
To tell you the truth, I think Tahir is more like an FBI candidate.
MALE REPORTER: There he is.
REPORTERS: Detective Kelly! Have you met my co-counsel? KELLY: What's going on? LICALSl: This is no good.
If Abrams hadn't gotten an ethical shiver just now If Abrams hadn't gotten an ethical shiver just now Janice would've bargained herself into a six-year bit.
I don't want you testifying.
She called on the DA behind my back, said she'd take six on a plea.
- Janice.
- Gina Zarone can put you in jail.
Gina Zarone is a half-whore whose credibility I'm gonna destroy before John ever gets on the stand.
I want you to forget about Gina Zarone.
I want you to trust in John Kelly.
And I want you to let me do my job which right now is preparing him for cross.
Now please excuse us.
- I'll do six.
- You can do better than that.
SINCLAIR: Excuse us, Janice.
[REPORTERS YELLING.]
Clients with conscience make for complicated lawyering.
You can do better than that for her, can't you? I'm gonna be candid.
Abrams got what he needed from that girl.
He's positioned you finding out what Janice did and making her come forward.
Off that, he's gonna project an effort to conceal into every action Janice took before and after the shootings.
He's counting on you to deny you witnessed the meeting.
That protects your legal position, but it leaves Janice hanging.
Look, I'm not gonna try to put words in your mouth.
I never asked what you saw or didn't see or what you knew or didn't know.
All I'm saying is, when Janice walks onto that witness stand I need those 12 people back believing she made a free confession.
That's the truth.
The truth and a trial have as much to do with each other as a hot dog and a warm puppy.
- I'm asking can you sell the story? - Yeah.
Here we go.
ABRAMS: Detective Kelly, I draw your attention to the meeting December 14 at which Janice Licalsi was shown pages from the Marino ledger.
- I ask if you witnessed that meeting.
- Yes, I did.
You acknowledge you witnessed the meeting on the steps of the library between Ms.
Licalsi and Richard Catena? I witnessed the meeting from 200 feet away.
I saw no pages or no documents being passed.
ABRAMS: How were you present? Janice had received a phone call at the station house that afternoon.
She said she had to meet someone.
She was upset.
I was worried and I followed her.
Since you've denied any suspicion of Miss Licalsi after seeing her converse with a criminal, your concerns were assuaged? When she got back, I confronted her about it.
She said that Linardi had approached her a couple days earlier.
She reported this to the Organized Crime Unit and was told to cooperate and inform them of what she was asked to do.
ABRAMS: During this confrontation, did you discuss her prior criminal activities? - I had no knowledge.
Did you discuss the pages she saw in the journal? KELLY: I've never seen the pages.
Is it your testimony that you felt no curiosity as to why she was approached? Did you think it was at random? I thought it was because her father was in their pocket until he killed himself.
- All right.
Nothing further, Your Honor.
- Mr.
Sinclair.
- Let's be clear, Detective Kelly.
After this meeting that Mr.
Abrams has been at such pains to establish you discovered Janice Licalsi was acting on assignment.
That's right.
Consequently, you had no reason to suspect her of any criminal activity.
KELLY: No reason.
- Let alone complicity in the murders.
- That's correct.
- As a matter of fact the shooting of Marino and his driver was a cleared case, isn't that correct? - Absolutely.
- Someone confessed to those murders.
Alfonse Giardella confessed to the murders.
Mr.
Abrams has therefore taken a day and a half to establish that on the basis of a meeting seen from a few hundred feet a meeting whose particulars you'd have no way of divining a meeting you ascertained Janice Licalsi had been assigned to attend you failed to conclude she committed murders several months previous murders to which someone else had pleaded guilty.
Detective Kelly did you have any connection with Janice Licalsi coming forward and acknowledging the acts for which she's now on trial? KELLY: The day before Janice confessed she'd been promoted, so we'd work together in the squad room.
That day she initiated a conversation, she said she was upset about things.
ABRAMS: Was she specific? No, and I was not who she needed to talk to.
I gave her the name of my priest.
She contacted him.
The next day they spoke, and then she came forward.
And what was your reaction? I was surprised and sorry because I felt that she was in a bad position.
and sorry because I felt that she was in a bad position.
Criminals had approached her and I think she was trying to protect her father.
As for her coming forward, I believe that came directly from her conscience and I hoped she'd be all right.
Detective Kelly, have you now described the full extent and context of your involvement in these events? Yes, I have.
Nothing further, Your Honor.
FEMALE REPORTER: How did it go? - No comment.
- Technique and artistic impression.
KELLY: Nothing for you.
Catch Zarone on my show.
That's money you might've had.
SIPOWICZ: Two steps backwards.
KELLY: Ready? Yeah, my guy's just coming out.
Listen, I'll meet you at the stakeout.
You all right? KELLY: I don't know.
REPORTER: Would you like to comment? [MUMBLES.]
Listen, Sylvia, let me ask you she drop the charges? - She dropped them.
SIPOWICZ: Could you wait for me? COSTAS: Yeah.
Hey, Mrs.
Carlin, let me talk to your husband.
- I was released.
- Come on.
I know you've been released.
Now you'll listen, or I'm gonna smash your head through that window.
- Do you know who I am? - A cop.
The other night, after you went to the bar, after you punched your wife out I picked you up.
I dragged you out, catching cigarettes in your hair.
