0:01:48 > 0:01:53She's new in town. An artist, yeah?
0:01:53 > 0:02:00- Yeah.- She's coming home to a run-down tenement - in Tribeca, naturally.- Why "naturally"?
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Not a tenement. A loft.- A loft.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09I said "naturally" because Tribeca's the location for the strangler case.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14- Oh, yeah. Right, right. OK, go on. - Thank you.
0:02:14 > 0:02:20Anyway, he forces his way inside and tries to strangle her.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24But doesn't. She's too tough.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Why don't YOU tell the story?- No.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30SOMEBODY please tell the story.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35She fights him off. She throws turpentine in his face.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37The old turp routine!
0:02:37 > 0:02:40It isn't funny, Coleman.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45- We've got a witness. - Jennifer fought the guy off.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50- "Jennifer"?! What about Bon-Bon? - I gotta go.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- What about the paperwork? - I'll do it tomorrow.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Hey, what's with the toolbox?
0:02:57 > 0:03:02He's installing a lock in Jennifer's loft. Our Victor?
0:03:02 > 0:03:07- What do you think? The third guy? - The fat one, three days' growth?
0:03:07 > 0:03:12- Yeah. Maybe his statement will fly. - If we can keep him out of the bars.
0:03:12 > 0:03:18- Can you kinda step on it?- What's wrong?- I've got ballet tickets.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Well, I'm going as quick as I can.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Why don't we do lights and sirens?
0:03:23 > 0:03:28- You're not serious?- Well, then, cut off a couple of cabs.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33- You're the world's slowest driver. - We'll get there.- It's 4.30.
0:03:33 > 0:03:41- I've got to put this thing together by 7 o'clock.- YOUR face? Five minutes, you're gorgeous.- Please!
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Uh-oh.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56So much for Swan Lake.
0:04:07 > 0:04:13- Do you know what set her off? - When I walked in, there she was.
0:04:13 > 0:04:20- Has she got personal problems? - No, nothing.- Financial difficulties? - You're kidding. She's Vice-President.
0:04:20 > 0:04:27- How old is she? Is she married? - 42. Her husband's a stockbroker. Handsome, nice.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- Arthur. They seem happy.- Kids?- Two.
0:04:31 > 0:04:39- Why would a woman who has everything want to jump off a building?- Please, back away.- Give us some room.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58Do you wanna take a shot at it? I'll call Emergency Service.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- No lights, no sirens.- Uh-huh.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08(Mary Beth!)
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Mary...
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Mary?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Mary Cole, I'm Mary Lacey.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28I'm a police detective.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Could I sit here?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I always hated that - two Marys.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44When I was in fifth grade,
0:05:44 > 0:05:50my teacher used to call Mary Calzone "Mary One". Guess who was "Mary Two"?
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Anyway, so, um...I'm a cop now.
0:05:54 > 0:06:01There's not a lot of us called Mary in the Police Department, I'll tell you that.
0:06:01 > 0:06:07Do you ever get that problem? You know, if you're lost in the sauce?
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Back and forth. Back and forth.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23So I say, "Can I sit down?"
0:06:23 > 0:06:28And...I looked down 20 storeys, Harv.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Me and my mouth, the only thing between her and the street.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37So I told her about Mary One and...
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Mary Beth, what happened?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42What happened? I don't know.
0:06:42 > 0:06:50One minute she's standing there and the next minute I put out my hand and she grabs on.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53And then...we're in the room.
0:06:53 > 0:07:00And...she's crying. I'm telling her everything's gonna be OK, and it's better already.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Oh, I tell you, Harv.
0:07:03 > 0:07:10I looked out the window. We were so high, Harv. I don't wanna talk about it.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Oh?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24The sink needs a new washer.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28That's all you've got to say?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Christine called. She told me everything!
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Very funny(!)
0:07:36 > 0:07:41She sent over champagne. It's in the fridge. You are terrific.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46- You are fantastic, and what you did was great.- Isn't she sweet?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Let's drink some champagne.
0:07:52 > 0:07:58- Who are you calling?- The hospital. - Oh, you're a social worker now?
0:07:58 > 0:08:04- Honey...- What you did was wonderful, but you're not on city time any more.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09- We're going out to dinner.- Have you never heard that Chinese proverb?
0:08:09 > 0:08:14If you save somebody's life, you're responsible for them for ever.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19- You're not Chinese. We're going to Luigi's.- Pizza?! I said fancy!
0:08:19 > 0:08:22We'll get anchovies.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31Sorry I'm late. The champagne was perfect.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- What does the daily activity report hold for us?- Not much.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41- How many drunks did they round up last night?- Nothing.- Let me see.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Let me see it.
0:08:43 > 0:08:51"Escapee from Bellvue. Female Caucasian, aged 42, committed for attempted suicide. Mary Cole."
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Sorry.
0:08:53 > 0:08:59Mary Beth, maybe the woman has problems nobody can solve.
0:08:59 > 0:09:05Who tries to commit suicide when they've just had their hair done?
0:09:05 > 0:09:11- Rich people. We're due in court. - We'll make it.- Only if- I- drive.
0:09:11 > 0:09:18- I think we should follow up on her. - There's no crime involved. Leave her alone.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Human robot cops. Case closed.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26- What do you want?- I wanna know what's wrong with her.- After court.
0:09:26 > 0:09:32- Eighteen minutes.- I bet you 2 they continue it again.- You're on.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- Thank you. - I hate it when you're right.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43- Why didn't you turn up Eighth?- It's a nice day. Let's take a drive.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48- Where?- Well, if we happen to be near Mary Cole's apartment...
0:09:48 > 0:09:53- Which you happened to memorise. - I have a very good memory.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Could you at least drive faster?
0:09:57 > 0:10:05- I am sorry, but I am unable to help. The lady of the house left before I came to work here.- Left, Miss?
0:10:05 > 0:10:11Yes. She and her husband are... How do you say? ..Separated.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16- Where did she go?- I do not know. Monsieur Cole doesn't confide in me.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- May we see him? - He is out. Leave a card.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25Mrs Cole - she calls, or something? She must see the kids.
0:10:25 > 0:10:31- She doesn't speak with the children. - Mail? Where do you send her mail?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34It is not memorised, Madame.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39- Try and be helpful. - S'il vous plait, Mademoiselle.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- Ah, vous parlez Francais? - Un petit peu.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Bon. J'ai a recu une lettre.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- (Big shot.)- C'est pour Madame.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- Merci mille fois.- No, it can't be.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14What's a company vice-president doing in a dump like this?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17This is a very confusing woman.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Mrs Cole?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Mary? It's Mary Lacey.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Christine.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Look here.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- She must have a habit.- Blackmail?
0:12:36 > 0:12:41- Dope makes sense. The husband threw her out.- So who trashed the place?
0:12:41 > 0:12:49- Say she's selling. All the profits go up her nose, her supplier gets mad.- So she hides out from that?
0:12:49 > 0:12:54But if it's blackmail, she could be hiding to protect the children.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59- What can a blackmailer have on her? - She's an accountant. Embezzlement?
0:12:59 > 0:13:04- Not bad.- I liked it. - You're making me dizzy.
0:13:04 > 0:13:13Why complicate things? A woman moves from a mansion to a rat-hole, which gets ransacked. Who had the address?
0:13:13 > 0:13:20- Nobody at her work knew. - Her husband. Possible domestic violence. Talk to him.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Yes, sir.
0:13:31 > 0:13:37- It's all set up. They're bringing them into the line-up room. - I'm ready.
0:13:37 > 0:13:43- Sure?- This is big-time for a girl from Charlottesville, Virginia.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53- Let's get it over with, then. - I'll be all right. Honest.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Hormones. Looks like love to me.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04With Isbecki, bet on hormones.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10She's an addict, all right.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16My wife is a compulsive gambler. We owe the bank 40,000.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21She's in debt to bookies and loan sharks for God knows how much.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26The last time I heard, it was 47,000.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29I wish I knew how to handle it.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33I've been to gambling therapy groups,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36but Mary wouldn't go.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39She'd never admit she had a problem,
0:14:39 > 0:14:45not even when the bank threatened to foreclose on our house.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50I took away her credit cards. I transferred assets into my name.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54I tried...everything.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59I'm sorry, sir. You said that you asked your wife to leave.
0:14:59 > 0:15:05It was more that I wouldn't take her back unless she agreed to therapy.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Her only chance of getting better was to admit she had a problem.
0:15:10 > 0:15:16For that to happen, she would probably have to hit bottom.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I thought - hoped -
0:15:19 > 0:15:24that kicking her out would scare her into quitting.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27She stole the kids' college fund,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30and blew it at the crap table.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34The last few months, we haven't even talked.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55Loan sharking is the world's second oldest profession.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00- You need money? They loan money. - For a price.- Only 6%...per day.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05Borrow a grand, in eight days you owe a grand and a half.
0:16:05 > 0:16:11- So you borrow money to pay interest on the money.- How do they get out?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Fear. A strong motivator.
0:16:13 > 0:16:22loan sharks are backed by a group of investors that are not exactly known for their patience and forbearance.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27If you're late, they make you a friendly visit once - tops, twice.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32After that, they show you the bottom of the East River, permanently.
0:16:32 > 0:16:39- Can you give us a list of sharks? - I can give you a list of 350 known sharks and 500 part-timers.
0:16:39 > 0:16:45I'd like to narrow it to the kind that handle 47,000 in action.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50They put those off on someone bigger, who puts those off on somebody else.
0:16:50 > 0:16:57- Please, Al, we need some expertise here. - Expertise? Excuse me.
0:16:57 > 0:17:05The Ma and Pa grocery store could be a loan shark. The dry-cleaners on the corner, a loan shark.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10You might as well pick the telephone directory.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Any page.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17- Thanks for the advice, Martinez. - Advice? I'll give you advice.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Mary Cole has been warned.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Find her - fast.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29If you don't, she won't be worth finding.
0:17:36 > 0:17:42- You gotta use some imagination here. - You mean about the play-money?
0:17:42 > 0:17:47It's not play-money. It's all you got. You lose it, you're broke.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52Doesn't matter whether it's dollars or matchsticks, it's what you got.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57When it's gone, that's it. You got 20 grand.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01How much are you gonna bet?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Ten dollars.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Big spender(!)
0:18:17 > 0:18:24- Harv?- Hmm?- When you go to the track, how much are you willing to lose before you...?
0:18:24 > 0:18:29- I thought I was supposed to be helping here.- Yeah, but...- No buts.
0:18:29 > 0:18:38- Do I ever write a cheque for cash? Is there ever a problem about paying the rent?- Don't get defensive, Harv.
0:18:38 > 0:18:44You were going to set me up alongside your junkie gambler. There's a difference.
0:18:44 > 0:18:51I'm interested in the difference. What is the big attraction? Hit me.
0:18:51 > 0:18:58- You're messing with the economy of the United States. - I hate your conspiracy theories.
0:18:58 > 0:19:05Do you think there would be a school system in New York if it weren't for the lottery?
0:19:05 > 0:19:12Millions of dollars change hands and then get laundered so they never get taxed.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Who are you kidding here?
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- Want one?- No. I wanna understand Mary Cole.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27- And find out how much I gamble. - You are not under investigation.
0:19:27 > 0:19:33I was only asking, you know, so that I could get some insight.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35You're bust!
0:19:35 > 0:19:43How's this for insight? Anybody who is into the goons for 40-50 grand, that person is history.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48History.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00INAUDIBLE
0:20:40 > 0:20:46I called the phone company. They'll get back to us in ten minutes.
0:20:46 > 0:20:53- I couldn't stay in that room. Do you believe those guys? And they say women gossip!- Yeah.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58What about the new hot couple?
0:20:58 > 0:21:05Jennifer and Isbecki. Improvement on Bon-Bon. Who would go out with a woman named Bon-Bon?
0:21:05 > 0:21:11- Coleman made a book. I bet on two months.- It's none of our business.
0:21:11 > 0:21:19Mary Beth, don't do that to me! You love gossip. You go to your beauty parlour, and what do you read?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Movie magazines.- The Penal Code.
0:21:22 > 0:21:28- The Penal Code?- Some of us have to study for the sergeant's exam.
0:21:28 > 0:21:35All right. You go to the store and stand in an incredibly long line. What do you do?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I stand there.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41I balance my chequebook. I talk to people.
0:21:41 > 0:21:49You're just not admitting to it. There is not one person who doesn't read trashy newspapers in a store.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54- I don't. - Johnny Carson's divorce?
0:21:58 > 0:22:05- That cute young doctor that Mary Tyler Moore married?- Uh? - Liz Taylor?
0:22:05 > 0:22:12- She broke up with that guy. Did you see how skinny she got? - We've got work, Christine.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I liked Liz better as a brunette.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20PHONE RINGS
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- Hiya, Cookie.- Officer Christine!
0:22:24 > 0:22:31- Detective Christine. - Congratulations. Forgive me if I did not send flowers.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36My first vice bust. Cookie the Bookie, meet Detective Lacey.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41- How do you do?- The pleasure's mine. - Why don't you answer the phone?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Wrong number.
0:22:44 > 0:22:50- We heard you moved to Las Vegas. - The climate was not convivial to my constitution.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55- Seen Mary Cole?- Who?- Mary Cole. Your name was in her apartment.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Better there than on a bathroom wall!
0:22:59 > 0:23:05- Her apartment was ransacked. - Please, I am not the ransacking type.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10You booked her bets. She has debts of 50,000.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Do I look like the 50-grand type?
0:23:13 > 0:23:20- Who IS the 50-grand type? - Seeing as how I would not like to be deprived of my life,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I plead ignorance to such matters.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28Detective Lacey, 14th Squad. What may I do for you?
0:23:28 > 0:23:33- Such rude people. They hung up on me.- You're under arrest, Cookie.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38Far what infraction am I being served this injustice, por favore?
0:23:38 > 0:23:44Why don't we start with bookmaking? All these names and figures.
0:23:44 > 0:23:52- Your Christmas shopping list(?) - Charitable donations.- What charity is this? "The Bears, plus 8."
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Why is your partner persecuting me?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59She never learned how to ask nice.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Please, Mr Cookie, help us find Mary Cole.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Come here.
0:24:07 > 0:24:15There's a dive on 5th Street near Avenue Eight where they let you play on the cuff.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Thank you.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21- PHONE RINGS - It's for you.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Hello? Ma! It's my mother!
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- Give her my love.- Hello, yeah.
0:24:27 > 0:24:33- 5th Street Social And Athletic Club. - Cookie says it's a dive, small-time.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38- They still let her play. - Would they trash her apartment?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- No, that was the loan shark.- Who?
0:24:41 > 0:24:46Nobody knows. Martinez in Public Morals says it could be anybody.
0:24:46 > 0:24:53- You find Mary Cole. Then what? - We save her life. - You offer 24-hour protection?
0:24:53 > 0:24:59Sir, if we put her under protective custody, she can name names.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Maybe we can make some arrests here.
0:25:02 > 0:25:09- Maybe we find out who the people at the top are. - I see. I think you are dreaming.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14- Please, are you saying we have to give up?- No.
0:25:14 > 0:25:20Little fish would be nice, rough guys would be VERY nice, Mr Big would make my day.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25But I will settle for Mary Cole safe and sound,
0:25:25 > 0:25:33which is why I waste my valuable time begging for money for you two, and signing forms in quadruplicate.
0:25:33 > 0:25:39- 100, courtesy NYPD. Go have a good time.- Thank you, sir.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44- We couldn't get in the door with 100.- You said it was small-time.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47All right. 200, OK?
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- Don't spend it all in one place. - No, sir.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Lacey, you watch. Cagney, you play.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Cagney, it wouldn't hurt if you won.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02- Can I keep a percentage, a little off the top?- Get outta here!
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Thank you.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26< Here we go. Place your bets.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53One hundred.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08I always bet my husband's birthday first, for luck.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Oh, whaddya know?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20And now 22.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23That's our anniversary.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Can I bet more than one number?
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- Mary been in today? - < Mary who?- Mary Cole.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Don't know her. You want a hit?
0:27:44 > 0:27:49Hot date with Jennifer tonight? You two are a real item.
0:27:49 > 0:27:55- Come on, man, leave me alone. - Where are you taking her?- Around.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Around(!) Rangers game? Probably.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04There's this new place in Little Italy. Romantic, candlelight...
0:28:04 > 0:28:09Isbecki's idea of fine dining is all you can eat, 4.95.
0:28:09 > 0:28:15- Will you guys knock it off, huh? - What have we here? An art show?
0:28:15 > 0:28:21"Kinetic sculpture. The application of paper clips in conceptual art."
0:28:21 > 0:28:26- A breakthrough in post-modernist expression.- Yeah, like you.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Touchy, touchy.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Twenty-one.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Oh, no kidding?!
0:28:42 > 0:28:44I win again, huh?
0:28:44 > 0:28:49This must be my lucky night. Boy, I wish Mary was here.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52That wheel is hot.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Excuse me.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58You wanna buy me a drink, Doris?
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Thank you very much.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Thank you.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- What'll it be, ladies?- Two Scotches.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- Tom Collins, please.- She's buying.
0:29:23 > 0:29:28- Listen, give me another fifty bucks, OK?- Oh, sure.
0:29:31 > 0:29:39- Thank you.- What did you get on your friend?- Nothing. Gamblers are not the friendliest people.
0:29:39 > 0:29:46- How about you?- I got a loan shark who works a place. Get this - a dry-cleaning store.
0:29:46 > 0:29:51- You are amazing. We'll hit him in the morning.- First thing.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54You're the only one who's winning.
0:29:54 > 0:30:02- Try number 11. That's Michael's birthday. I won 36 on that one. - I'm playing blackjack.- 21, huh?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05I keep getting 22.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10- If she doesn't show in a half-hour we'll call it a night.- OK.
0:30:10 > 0:30:16Chris, can you explain to me about the zero and the double zero?
0:31:04 > 0:31:08SCREAMING
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Stop it! Stop it!
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Thank you.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05We'll need her statement, and yours.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Later.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Better if we get it now.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Can't you see she's real upset?
0:32:14 > 0:32:17All right. We'll be at the precinct.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Thanks.
0:32:33 > 0:32:38Hey, don't worry. I'll get you through this as quick as possible.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Hey...
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Hey, come on. It's all over.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46He's not gonna bother you any more.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Don't!
0:32:51 > 0:32:54I just wanted to hold you.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57I'm sorry.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01I just don't want to be touched right now.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- Are you Simmons? - Yes. What can I do for you, ladies?
0:33:36 > 0:33:42- Detectives Cagney and Lacey, 14th Squad.- Oh, well, nice to meet you.
0:33:42 > 0:33:47- At Simmons there's always a discount for New York's finest.- Oh, yeah?
0:33:47 > 0:33:55- Do you give discounts to customers from the 5th Street Social And Athletic Club?- Never heard of it.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58I can get this spot out for you.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Cut it out. You're a loan shark.
0:34:00 > 0:34:06You have a client called Mary Cole who's into you for about 50,000.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10All we want to know is where we can find her.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13I really wish I could help you.
0:34:13 > 0:34:20Firstly, I'm not a loan shark. Secondly, I've never heard of this woman.
0:34:20 > 0:34:27Thirdly, if I had 50,000, would I be sweating my life away in a dump like this?
0:34:27 > 0:34:34- We're not stupid. - If she was into you for 5,000, maybe you'd sell it to someone.
0:34:34 > 0:34:41- You girls have been watching too many cops and robber movies. - Don't get flip, mister.
0:34:41 > 0:34:50- Look around here. I'm a dry-cleaner! - Mr Simmons, my partner is getting impatient. I'll lay it on the line.
0:34:50 > 0:34:58- Someone sent goons after Mary Cole. We wanna know who.- In the first place, I am NOT a loan shark.
0:34:58 > 0:35:03In the second place, I don't know anything about your friend.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08I don't know any goons. I'm a dry-cleaner.
0:35:08 > 0:35:16Well, I hope that you know somebody who knows somebody who knows these goons, because we're coming back.
0:35:16 > 0:35:23If anything happens to Mary Cole, you'll be opening a branch on Rikers Island.
0:35:36 > 0:35:41- He's a shark?- I got his name at the blackjack table.- How did you do?
0:35:41 > 0:35:46- We covered our expenses. - Covered your expenses?
0:35:46 > 0:35:48You're in profit! Way to go, Cagney!
0:35:48 > 0:35:53- Well, actually...- You should have seen her, sir. Nothing but 21s.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56It was...nothing, Lieutenant.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Nothing? You saved the taxpayer 200.
0:36:00 > 0:36:06- Thank you, Lieutenant.- This shark, we can pull him in, lean on him.
0:36:06 > 0:36:14- Excuse me, Lieutenant. We've got a Jane Doe behind a building on Chambers Street.- Description?
0:36:14 > 0:36:17The body's not in perfect condition.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20It may not be her.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- Do you want it?- We'll take it, sir.
0:36:31 > 0:36:37- Do you know who you're looking for? - Yes, we can make a visual ID.
0:36:37 > 0:36:44- The body was found in this garbage dumpster.- How bad is it?- Nothing you wanna look at before breakfast.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48I gotta say, this one's not too bad.
0:36:48 > 0:36:54Really, it's not too bad, as long as you know what you're looking for.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Thank you.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Well?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Her name is Mary Cole.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13C-O-L-E.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26You OK?
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Yeah.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37Hey, come on, Victor. It's not the end of the world.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39She just...
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Excuse me.
0:37:51 > 0:37:56What's wrong with Isbecki? Someone steal his Barry Manilow records?
0:37:56 > 0:38:02Did I say something wrong? Jennifer went back to Virginia.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16I don't even know what I said to her on that ledge.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21But when she came in the room, I thought she wanted to be alive.
0:38:21 > 0:38:28- She didn't kill herself. She was murdered.- If you save somebody's life, you're responsible for them.
0:38:28 > 0:38:36Nobody forced her to gamble. Nobody forced her to live in a rat-hole and borrow money from loan sharks.
0:38:36 > 0:38:44- There's not a damn thing you could have done about it.- I should have gone to see her in the hospital.
0:38:44 > 0:38:52- I could have followed up faster on something. I don't know what I said to her.- I remember what you said.
0:38:52 > 0:38:57You told her she was human, and I'm saying that to you.
0:38:57 > 0:39:03And you told her to think about her husband and kids.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Yeah, right.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12I wanna do something, Christine.
0:39:16 > 0:39:22- I wanna go to her funeral.- I don't do funerals.- You don't have to go.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Fine. Thank you.
0:39:27 > 0:39:32- Hey, Chris, give me the keys. - What for?- I'm driving.
0:39:32 > 0:39:37- Mary Beth, is your head together here?- Just get in the car.
0:39:49 > 0:39:54Get out of the way! Get out of my way! Move!
0:39:54 > 0:39:59- Hey, what are you doing?- She's dead, bozo.- I don't know the lady.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03- I got nothing to with her.- Yeah?- No.
0:40:03 > 0:40:11- I have never seen my partner this upset. It's murder now - a capital offence.- And somebody's gonna pay.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15- I didn't do anything! - Tell us who did.
0:40:15 > 0:40:21- How should I know? I'm not a shark. - Shut your mouth! I don't care!
0:40:21 > 0:40:28- I don't care!- You'll put me out of business.- You already are, courtesy of the NYPD.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- I don't know anything.- Huh? - It's all done with contacts.
0:40:32 > 0:40:37- I don't know anybody big. - Give us a contact.
0:40:37 > 0:40:43- I can't. You saw what happened to Mary.- You knew her!- Get my lawyer!
0:40:43 > 0:40:50- No need. We'll just spread the word that he named names.- Yeah. - Yeah, but I...
0:40:50 > 0:40:54You know what they're gonna do to me!
0:40:54 > 0:41:00- We protect witnesses.- He doesn't want to be a witness.- Too bad.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07I, uh...
0:41:07 > 0:41:13The only name I know is the name I deal with. That's all.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18Fine. We'll take it, one name at a time.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Go ahead.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Yeah, go ahead.
0:41:27 > 0:41:3330-45 minutes, tops. I'm sorry. We got tied up on a case here.
0:41:33 > 0:41:39OK, what, 53rd and Lex? Yeah, all right, I'll see you then. Bye.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49- We can finish that in the morning. - You go ahead. I'm almost finished.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53- Are you sure?- Uh-huh.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00We're gonna find him, Mary Beth.
0:42:00 > 0:42:07- We give Martinez the name and they start putting some heat on people.- Yeah.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Well, I'll see you in the morning.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Goodnight, Chris.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Goodnight, Victor.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48What's on your mind, Victor?
0:42:48 > 0:42:56- I just wanted to tell you I heard you got a lead on the Mary Cole homicide. Nice going.- Thank you.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04Is there something on your mind?
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Nah.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10I heard about your friend. I'm sorry.
0:43:10 > 0:43:15- How did you hear about it? - It's a small precinct.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18Yeah.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21She'll come back for the trial.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24Who knows? Maybe...
0:43:27 > 0:43:29Yeah.
0:43:37 > 0:43:41I never met anybody like her before.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46She was delicate,
0:43:46 > 0:43:48like a...
0:43:48 > 0:43:51Just delicate.
0:43:51 > 0:43:56Well, I guess it was too much for her.
0:43:56 > 0:44:01I tried to tell her there were good things in the city, too.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04I tried to protect her.
0:44:04 > 0:44:08I even installed a dead-bolt lock on her door.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27I never even touched her, Lacey.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31I think you're wrong.
