- IN NEW YORK CITY'S WAR ON CRIME,
THE WORST CRIMINAL OFFENDERS ARE PURSUED
BY THE DETECTIVES OF THE MAJOR CASE SQUAD.
THESE ARE THEIR STORIES.
- ALL THE WAY, REYNOLDS.
MOMENT OF TRUTH, REYNOLDS. - COME ON!
COME ON, GET DOWN THOSE STAIRS, REYNOLDS.
- LET'S GO, BUDDY!
[indistinct shouting]
- IT'S FREEZING OUT HERE.
- YOU WANT TO BE A HARD GUY, YOU GOTTA DO IT.
- LET'S MOVE! LET'S MOVE!
[overlapping shouts]
- LET'S GO, LET'S GO, LET'S GO.
- WHOO!
- YEAH, COME ON!
- MOMENT OF TRUTH, REYNOLDS.
- LOOK, WE ALL HAD TO DO THIS. JUST GET THE HELL IN.
- COME ON. - KILL THIS.
AND NO MORE EXCUSES.
- IS IT THE WILL TO LIVE,
OR IS SCIENCE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE
FOR WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO?
THE HEART.
THE ANCIENT GREEKS THOUGHT IT WAS WHERE THE SOUL RESIDES.
ECCE COR.
THE ESSENCE OF ALL THAT WE FEEL.
DOES THAT SEEM OLD-FASHIONED?
OR DO WE STILL HARBOR SOME OF THOSE BELIEFS?
[cell phone rings]
- THE OFFER SUCKS.
THEY KNOW WHAT OUR COST IS. THEY'LL PAY US 100 BUCKS OVER.
- WHAT?
WHAT AM I GONNA DO?
I GOTTA MOVE MY INVENTORY.
WHY DON'T I JUST GIVE THEM THE FRICKIN' CAR?
FINE.
[cell phone chimes]
DAMN IT.
- A YEAR ABROAD.
PERHAPS THAT WOULD GIVE YOU A NEW PERSPECTIVE.
- YEAH.
MY PARENTS CAN'T AFFORD IT.
- THE ROTARY HAS A FUND FOR CASES LIKE YOURS.
I'LL GO TO BAT FOR YOU.
- OH, THAT WOULD BE AMAZING.
THANKS, DEAN SILVESTRI. [telephone ringing]
THANKS. - YOU'RE WELCOME.
DEAN SILVESTRI.
- DID YOU, UH,
DID YOU GET ANOTHER EMAIL?
- YES. IT HAS TO END.
- WAIT.
- WAIT FOR WHAT?
- TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO.
- GET OFF MY BACK.
I'M GOING OUT.
[door slams]
- I'M SICK OF THIS GUY. - WE'RE ALL SICK OF IT.
- RAT BASTARD, WE WERE HIS FRIENDS.
- WELL, HE'S DESPERATE.
DESPERATE AND VERY DANGEROUS TO US.
- SCREW IT. HE'S 40 MINUTES LATE.
I'M NOT WAITING AROUND ANY LONGER.
- WHOA, WHOA. - I'M OUT OF HERE.
- COME ON. - GREG, CALM DOWN.
- IF HE EMAILS US AGAIN, WE JUST--
[tires screeching]
- WHOA! - GEEZ.
- SON OF A BITCH.
- WHAT?
I'M HERE.
SO NOW WE CAN TALK.
- GREG.
- WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, HEY, HEY, COME ON.
BACK OFF, COME ON.
BACK OFF!
COME ON. COME ON.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH.
- OH, GREG, DAMN IT.
- HE'D DO IT TO US.
- HE'S TOO DRUNK TO DRIVE HOME.
- I'LL TAKE HIM. HE'S OUR FRIEND.
- [groans]
[car beeps]
- BAILEY, WE ALL GOT LIVES.
A LOT'S AT STAKE.
DON'T SCREW WITH US.
- I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY.
[branches snapping]
- UNH!
- SOME FISHERMEN SPOTTED THE BODY.
WE PULLED I.D. FROM HIS WALLET
AND THEN WE CALLED YOU GUYS.
BY THE ADDRESS ON HIS LICENSE, HE LIVES PRETTY CLOSE BY.
- UH-HUH.
HEY, ELIZABETH. WHAT DO WE GOT?
- WELL...
A BODY WITH MULTIPLE CONTUSIONS
AND LACERATIONS ON HIS FACE CONSISTENT WITH
A RECENT ALTERCATION.
- NOT FROM A FALL ON THESE ROCKS?
- NO, MOST ARE DIFFUSE WITHOUT ANY DERMAL TEARING.
I'M BETTING HE WAS KILLED UP THERE
OR SOMEWHERE ELSE AND THEN TOSSED DOWN HERE.
- RIGHT, AND LOOK AT THE BRUISES ON HIS KNUCKLES.
- YEAH, SO HE LANDED A FEW.
MAYBE GET SOME DNA ON THE NAIL CLIPPINGS.
- POOR KILLER.
- POOR KILLER?
- HIS NICKNAME, KILLER O'DOYLE.
HE MADE THE MAJORS.
HIT 48 HOME RUNS HIS THIRD SEASON,
CAME TO CHICAGO ON A TRADE,
AND THEY TRADED HIM DOWN TO SOME CANADIAN TEAM.
THEN HE WAS GONE.
- LET'S GO SEE THE WIDOW O'DOYLE.
[door shuts]
DID HE SAY WHERE HE WAS GOING?
- OUT. - DID HE SAY WHERE?
- HE JUST SAID OUT. - UH-HUH.
WAS HE ANXIOUS OR TENSE OR DISTRAUGHT?
- NO.
- WHY DIDN'T YOU REPORT HIM MISSING?
- HE DISAPPEARED FOR A DAY OR TWO BEFORE.
HE WASN'T MISSING, HE JUST WASN'T HOME.
- DID HE HAVE ANY ENEMIES?
- NONE WHO WOULD WANT TO KILL HIM.
AS FAR AS I KNOW.
- ANY AFFAIRS?
- UH, WHO KNOWS?
WE HAVEN'T BEEN--
HADN'T BEEN REAL CLOSE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.
- DID HE OWE MONEY TO ANYBODY?
- UH, EVERYONE.
HE WAS SUCKING WIND, OFFICERS.
- SO THESE ARE FROM HIS, UH, BIGGEST GAMES, RIGHT?
- HE WAS VERY PROUD OF THOSE BATS.
PROBABLY THE LAST THING OF ANY VALUE IN THIS HOUSE.
- WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT, MRS. O'DOYLE?
- ME?
[chuckles]
RIGHT. OF COURSE, ME.
I'M NOT DISTRAUGHT ENOUGH OR OVERCOME WITH GRIEF.
- WE'LL ASK THAT OF EVERYONE WHO SAW HIM RECENTLY.
- I WAS HERE.
I DID AN HOUR ON THE TREADMILL WHILE I WATCHED SOME TV.
PROJECT RUNWAY.
I USED TO BE A MODEL.
THAT'S ME.
- CAN ANYBODY VERIFY THAT YOU WERE HOME?
- NO. YES.
I SPOKE TO MY MOTHER ON THE PHONE.
LOOK, DETECTIVES, I'M BITTER, OKAY?
BAILEY LEFT US IN TERRIBLE FINANCIAL STRAITS.
BUT HE HAD NO INSURANCE AND NO MONEY.
WHAT I GET FROM HIS DEATH IS MORE GRIEF.
- ANY IDEA WHERE HIS CAR MIGHT BE?
[knocking on door]
- I THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA MEET AT THE LUNCHEON.
- BAILEY O'DOYLE IS DEAD.
I--I JUST HEARD IT ON THE CAR RADIO.
I-I KNEW YOU'D WANNA KNOW.
- NO, I--
WHAT HAPPENED? HE DIDN'T KILL HIMSELF, DID HE?
- NO, HE WAS FOUND BEATEN IN PROMONTORY PARK.
- BEATEN?
SO IT WAS A ROBBERY?
- THE NEWS DIDN'T SAY MUCH.
IT'S BEEN HOW MANY YEARS SINCE WE'VE SEEN BAILEY,
TWO YEARS?
- A WHILE.
POOR GUY.
WELL, WE HAVE TO GO.
YOUR FATHER WON'T BE HAPPY IF WE'RE LATE.
- OF COURSE.
- SO THE SEARCH WENT OUT ON HIS CAR?
- MM-HMM.
- AND YOU CHECKED THE UNHAPPY WIFE'S ALIBI.
- THE LUDs CONFIRM THE CALLS
AND HER MOTHER VERIFIES THE CONVERSATIONS
WITHIN THE APPARENT TIME FRAME.
I SAY WE NEVER COUNT ON MOMS. - [chuckles]
- NOW I'M GONNA GO WITH THE STATISTICS AND SAY
IF THIS WASN'T A ROBBERY, IT WAS PROBABLY FAMILY.
- WELL, I DOUBT IT WAS THE WIFE.
THE GUY TOPPED 200 POUNDS. HE WAS AN ATHLETE.
AND HE HAD FACIAL BRUISES
CONSISTENT WITH AN ACTUAL BRAWL.
- YEAH, ALSO THERE SEEMS TO BE NO WAY THAT SHE GAINED, UH,
FROM HIS DEATH FINANCIALLY.
- IT'S A MARRIAGE.
MAYBE SHE JUST GOT SICK OF HIM.
- [chuckles]
WHAT GOES ON IN HER HOUSE?
- WHETHER SUICIDE OR HOMICIDE,
THE SPORT AND THE CITY LOST A WELL-LOVED
AND ONCE-REVERED HERO.
- EVER GO TO HIS STEAK HOUSE?
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT PLACE?
I MEAN, THERE WAS ALWAYS
SOME CELEBRITY HANGING OUT THERE.
IT WAS GREAT.
- A REAL SHAME.
AND NOW FOR THIS WEEKEND'S FOOTBALL--
- [chuckles]
EVERYBODY SEEMS TO BE MAKING A NICE RECOVERY FROM GRIEF.
- HE DID HAVE A FRIEND.
THIS GUY RON ROBBINS, WHO STAYED IN THE MINORS.
- WHERE DID HE END UP?
- HE'S, UH, AN ASSISTANT COACH ON A MINOR LEAGUE TEAM
IN STATEN ISLAND.
- MM-HMM. STATEN ISLAND?
- ENEMIES?
NO.
UM, EVERYBODY LOVED BAILEY.
I MEAN, COME ON.
I MEAN, HE STARTED THE BAILEY'S FUND
FOR THE HOMELESS BOYS.
HE WAS--
HE WAS A GEM.
- DID HE MESS AROUND?
- YEAH, SURE.
I MEAN, WOMEN WERE ALL OVER HIM.
FOR A WHILE, ANYWAY.
I MEAN, BUT ONCE HE HOOKED UP WITH LANI,
HE WAS PRETTY SOLID.
- WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE IN CONTACT WITH HIM?
- UP UNTIL LAST YEAR, WHEN EVERYTHING WENT SOUR.
INVESTORS PULLED OUT, HE LOST THE STEAK HOUSE.
- HOW COME YOU GUYS LOST TOUCH?
- HONESTLY?
HE STARTED HITTING ME UP FOR MONEY.
SEEMED PRETTY DESPERATE.
- YOU THINK DENARDI KILLED HIM?
- CHRIS SAID HE WAS FINE WHEN HE DROPPED HIM OFF.
- WELL, WHO THEN?
I'M NOT SAYING IT WAS A BAD THING.
- YEAH, IT WAS A BAD THING, BUT IT HAD TO STOP.
- IF CHRIS DIDN'T DO IT,
AND I KNOW I DIDN'T DO IT--
- HEY, I WASN'T WITH HIM.
- GREG, LISTEN TO ME.
NO ONE IS ANGRY.
WE'LL BE YOUR ALIBI.
BUT WE HAVE TO KNOW.
- LOOK, BACK OFF. I DIDN'T KILL HIM.
HOW DO WE KNOW YOU DIDN'T KILL HIM?
- OKAY, LOOK.
WE'RE ALL UPSET.
BUT WE STICK TOGETHER ON THIS.
THEY MAY ARREST SOMEONE BEFORE IT EVEN GETS TO US.
BUT IF THEY DO COME TO US,
WE NEED TO HAVE THE SAME STORY.
COME ON.
WE'VE DONE THIS BEFORE.
RIGHT?
GOTTEN OUR STORY STRAIGHT.
- TIME OF DEATH,
SOMETIME BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND 3:00 A.M.
B.A.C. WAS TWICE THE LIMIT.
STOMACH CONTENTS INCLUDE NUTS, PRETZELS.
BAR MIX.
- WELL, MAYBE DEATH WAS THE AFTERMATH
OF A BAR FIGHT.
- MAYBE A LOAN SHARK? WE KNOW HE OWED MONEY.
- WELL, THEY ONLY KILL AS A LAST RESORT.
I'M, UH--
I'M STICKING WITH SOMETHING PERSONAL.
- WELL, HERE'S THE COUP DE GRACE.
MASSIVE SKULL FRACTURE AND CEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE
FROM A BLUNT OBJECT.
SOMETHING WITH A SMOOTH, CONVEX EDGE.
- YOU'RE DESCRIBING A BASEBALL BAT.
- A POETIC ENDING TO A LIFE WRIT LARGE WITH A BAT.
- PERSONAL.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S MY TAKE ON IT TOO.
JEALOUS HUSBAND OR BOYFRIEND?
BALLPLAYERS, THEY'RE INFAMOUS FOR--
- BUT NO LETTERS OR EMAILS TO INDICATE ROMANCE.
HIS HARD DRIVE IS LOADED WITH VISITS TO ONLINE POKER SITES.
- A DEGENERATE GAMBLER.
- ALSO, HE HAD UNPAID BUSINESS LOANS.
REMEMBER, UH, BAILEY O'DOYLE'S STEAK HOUSE?
- YEAH.
MY BROTHER-IN-LAW HAD A BIG BIRTHDAY THERE.
AT ONE TIME, THAT WAS THE SPOT.
MAYBE THERE'S MOB MONEY IN THERE.
THEY FAVOR BASEBALL BATS.
- I'M CHECKING WITH THE ACCOUNTANT FOR INVESTORS.
- OKAY.
OH, AND I GOT THE REQUISITE LETTER
FROM THE CHIEF OF Ds,
WHO HAPPENS TO BE A BASEBALL FAN.
- OH, SUDDENLY EVERYBODY CARES, HUH?
- WELL, WHEN YOU'RE DOWN,
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE DEATH FOR A COMEBACK.
- HERE YOU GO.
A LIST OF INVESTORS IN BAILEY O'DOYLE'S STEAK HOUSE.
THREE OF THEM INVESTED $300,000.
TWO OF THOSE HAVE SURNAMES OF ITALIAN ORIGIN,
BUT I DON'T THINK THERE'S A MOB CONNECTION.
NONE OF THE NAMES ARE IN THE OC DATABASE.
BUT ALL THREE OF THEM ARE ALL LINKED TO BAILEY
IN ANOTHER WAY.
- HOW IS THAT?
- THEY ALL WENT TO A PRIVATE SCHOOL WITH HIM,
THE SILESIAN BROTHERS ACADEMY.
ONE OF THEM IS NOW DEAN OF STUDENTS
AT ST. VICTOR'S IN FAR ROCKAWAY.
- AND THIS GUY DENARDI,
HE'S A DOCTOR AT WEBSTER GENERAL?
- MM-HMM.
HEAD OF CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY.
AND--AND GREG FOSTER IS SOMEONE CALLED
THE STATEN ISLAND CAR KING.
- OH. RIGHT, RIGHT.
THE FOSTER HOME
* FOR ALL YOUR AUTO NEEDS
[phone rings]
JUST AMAZINGLY BAD TV COMMERCIALS.
NICHOLS.
UH-HUH.
THANK YOU.
UH, THEY FOUND HIS CAR.
- YEAH, I ACTUALLY KNEW THE GUY.
BUT HE WASN'T HERE LAST NIGHT.
- THAT'S SO STRANGE 'CAUSE HIS, UH,
BLOOD ALCOHOL WAS TWICE THE LIMIT.
- I NEVER SAW THE GUY.
AND THE WAY HE PARKED,
HE PROBABLY WAS DRUNK WHEN HE ARRIVED.
- CAN WE LOOK AT THE CHARGE SLIPS?
- YEAH, SURE.
- AT 11:00 P.M.,
YOU PRETTY MUCH JUST HAVE YOUR REGULARS.
THERE WERE SOME GUYS I DIDN'T KNOW.
A COUPLE AT THE BAR, SOME AT THAT BACK TABLE.
- CAN YOU DESCRIBE THEM?
- THE GUYS AT THE BAR WERE IN WORK CLOTHES.
DIRTY LIKE, UH, CEMENT WORKERS.
THE GUYS AT THE TABLE, JUST GUYS.
- ANY OTHER PATRONS WHO SEEMED TO KNOW HIM?
- I DIDN'T SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
- SO THAT'S IT.
- THERE'S THESE.
BAILEY'S BILLS. IOUs.
BUT I NEVER HOUNDED HIM, I JUST LET HIM DRINK.
- YOU WERE A HELL OF A FRIEND.
WELL...
YOU KNOW, BAILEY COULD HAVE...
COULD'VE HAD THE FEELING THAT THIS MEETING WAS TROUBLE
BEFORE HE GOT HERE,
SO TO MUSTER HIS COURAGE, HE--HE DRANK.
FIRST HE SHOWS UP DRUNK,
CAN'T EVEN PARK.
THEN HE'S MET OUT HERE.
YOU KNOW, NEVER GETS INSIDE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
NINA, LET'S, LET'S DO TIRE TRACKS OUT HERE.
- THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TRAFFIC.
- YES. YES, MA'AM.
JUST DO IT.
- WHY WOULD HE LEAVE WITH SOMEONE
HE KNOWS IS GONNA MUSCLE HIM?
- YEAH.
OH.
UNLESS IT'S SOMEBODY HE KNOWS AND TRUSTS,
LIKE THE STATEN ISLAND CAR KING.
* FOR ALL YOUR AUTO NEEDS
- IT'S A SHOCK.
ALTHOUGH WE HADN'T BEEN CLOSE LATELY,
WE WERE VERY TIGHT IN HIGH SCHOOL.
HE AND I PLAYED VARSITY BASEBALL.
- OH, YEAH? PRETTY HANDY WITH A BAT?
ARE YA?
- WHO, ME? NO.
I WALKED A LOT.
SMALL STRIKE ZONE.
BAILEY WAS A SLUGGER.
I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN HE MADE THE MAJORS.
WE WENT TO EVERY GAME.
HE SPOTTED US CLUB SEATS.
- CLUB SEATS.
HEY, NO, UH, HOT DOG GIRLS AND WARM BEER
FOR BAILEY'S FRIENDS.
- NOPE.
AND WHEN HIS CAREER TANKED, IT HURT ALL OF US.
SO WE STAKED HIM IN HIS EATING PLACE.
IT WAS GOOD AT FIRST.
THEN IT WAS CLEAR WE WERE GONNA LOSE OUR SHIRTS.
WE LOVED THE GUY,
BUT HE SUCKED AS A BUSINESSMAN.
- SO THERE WAS A FALLING OUT.
- NO. NOT AT ALL.
- HOW DID YOU HURT YOUR HAND, MR. FOSTER?
- MY HAND? - MM-HMM.
- AH.
PT CRUISER WITH A FAULTY HOOD LATCH.
- WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DISCUSS A NEW VENTURE
HE WANTED US TO INVEST IN.
HE KEPT US WAITING 45 MINUTES
AND SHOWED UP DRUNK.
- WHAT WAS HIS NEW VENTURE?
- AUTOGRAPHS.
- AUTOGRAPHS?
- A WEB THING. SELLING AUTOGRAPHS ONLINE.
I-CHAT WITH A PLAYER OR CELEBRITY
AS THEY AUTOGRAPH A PICTURE, A JERSEY, A BALL.
NOT A BAD IDEA, ACTUALLY,
BUT BAILEY WAS NOT THE GUY TO PULL IT OFF.
- WELL, THESE ARE NOT AUTOGRAPHED.
ALL THESE BOYS.
COULDN'T ALL BE YOUR CHILDREN.
- MY WIFE AND I WERE UNABLE TO HAVE CHILDREN,
AND SO, IN A WAY, I SUPPOSE THEY ARE OURS.
THEY'RE PAST WINNERS OF THE SILESIAN BROTHERS
ACADEMY THOMAS REYNOLDS PRIZE.
ESTABLISHED BY MY WIFE'S FATHER.
- ALL GOOD-LOOKING BOYS.
- I THINK SO TOO.
- YEP. I WAS IN SURGERY. WHAT'S GOING ON?
- GOT IT. - GO. LET'S GO.
- NEXT THEY'LL BE AT MY HOUSE TALKING TO MY WIFE,
AND THEY'LL TALK TO YOU AFTER THAT.
- WELL, BEFORE THAT HAPPENS, I'M GONNA SPEAK TO A LAWYER.
- NO. WE CAN'T DO THAT.
NONE OF US CAN.
A LAWYER WILL ENCOURAGE THE ONE WHO HIRES HIM
TO CUT A DEAL AND GIVE UP THE OTHER TWO.
- LOOK, I KNOW I DIDN'T KILL HIM.
- I KNOW I DIDN'T.
BUT ANY OF US COULD BE ACCUSED.
WE MUST STICK TOGETHER.
NOW I TOLD THEM BAILEY WANTED US TO...
INVEST IN ONLINE AUTOGRAPHS.
GOT IT? ONLINE AUTOGRAPHS.
- ONLINE AUTOGRAPHS, GOT IT.
- YOU SURE?
- YES. IT SOUNDS LEGIT. ONLINE AUTOGRAPHS.
I GOT IT.
- HANG IN THERE.
THESE ARE NOT ROCKET SCIENTISTS.
YOU ARE FAR SMARTER THAN THEY ARE.
- IT'S A RISK WHEN YOU INVEST IN ANY RESTAURANT OR BAR,
BUT WE WENT IN EYES WIDE OPEN.
- DID BAILEY STILL OWE YOU MONEY?
- TO MISQUOTE OUR FORMER PRESIDENT, UH,
"DEPENDS ON WHAT THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD 'OWE' IS."
ALL THE STUFF THAT WAS SOLD,
UH, GLASSES, DISHES,
LIQUOR TAPS, STOOLS, ET CETERA.
WHAT HE TOLD US IT WAS SOLD FOR SEEMED LESS THAN
WHAT WE BELIEVED IT WAS SOLD FOR.
HE WAS PISSED WHEN WE QUESTIONED HIM.
- AND SO HOW DID YOU LEAVE IT?
- WE GOT IN OUR CARS AND WENT HOME.
WHAT?
- SO YOU SAW BAILEY DRIVE OFF?
- NO, ACTUALLY. I, UH...
I LEFT BEFORE HE DID.
FOR ALL I KNOW, HE WENT BACK IN FOR A DRINK.
- YOU'VE NEVER BEEN MARRIED, HAVE YOU, DOCTOR?
- NO, WHY?
- THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF DETAILS A MARRIED MAN GETS STRAIGHT
BEFORE HE GOES HOME AND LIES TO HIS WIFE.
[winch ratcheting]
- LOOK AT THAT--HE'S PUTTING A BALL IN THE GRAVE.
- ONE PLAYER'S HOMAGE TO ANOTHER.
- CHECK 'EM OUT.
THESE GUYS DO EVERYTHING AS A GROUP.
- CHECK OUT THE WIFE.
- WHICH ONE, THE WIDOW?
- NO, SILVESTRI'S.
SHE SEEMS MORE UPSET THAN ANYONE.
- THAT'S INTERESTING.
YOU KNOW, UH,
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN BAILEY'S TYPE. HUH.
[chatting quietly]
- THAT THING YOU DID WITH THE BALL,
YOU KNOW, THAT WAS A NICE TOUCH.
- YEAH, THAT WAS HIS FIRST BALL HE EVER HIT OVER THE FENCE.
SEEMS ONLY A FEW OF US REALLY CARED ABOUT THOSE THINGS.
YOU KNOW LANI, SHE ALMOST BURIED HIM
WITHOUT HIS NUMBER 48 BAT
THAT HE MADE HIS HOMER WITH.
- GOOD THING YOU REMINDED HER.
- AT THE FUNERAL HOME, SHE HAD HIM IN THIS CHEAP SUIT.
AND I TOLD HER, "YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU DRESS HIM RIGHT.
CAP AND EVERYTHING."
THEN I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE SHE DID IT.
- THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR.
- YEAH.
YOU TAKE CARE NOW.
- HMM.
YOU SEE HOW MRS. SILVESTRI'S GRIEVING?
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT TELLS ME?
THAT SHE MIGHT WANT TO SHARE.
I'LL BUTTONHOLE THE DEAN.
- SO YOU WERE CLOSE TO BAILEY.
- YEAH, THANK YOU, YEARS AGO.
IN FACT, ALL OF US WERE ONCE VERY CLOSE.
SO IT WAS A LOT LIKE A FUNERAL WE ALL ATTENDED
22 YEARS AGO; IT'S KIND OF GOTTEN TO ME.
- HOW DID YOU ALL MEET?
- IN HIGH SCHOOL.
UH, MY BROTHER WAS FRIENDS WITH JOHN,
GREG, CHRIS, AND OF COURSE POOR BAILEY.
THEY HAD THIS-- THIS SILLY CLUB,
THE HARD GUYS, AND--
- EXCUSE ME, BUT WE SHOULD BE GOING.
THIS HAS BEEN A VERY EMOTIONAL DAY FOR US.
- THAT'S WHY I'D LIKE TO TALK WITH YOUR WIFE.
- THIS IS A TRAGEDY.
YOU HAVE A MURDER TO SOLVE.
GO SOLVE IT.
- THAT WENT WELL. - MM.
- DID YOU GET ANYTHING?
- THEY ALL BELONGED TO THE SAME CLUB
AND THIS WAS LIKE A FUNERAL THEY ALL ATTENDED
22 YEARS AGO.
- WHOSE FUNERAL?
- THAT'S WHEN MR. CONGENIALITY CAME TO THE RESCUE.
- 22 YEARS AGO.
THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN, WHAT, 15?
- 16, 17.
- HIGH SCHOOL.
A FUNERAL, HIGH SCHOOL BUDDIES.
I WONDER WHO DIED.
- I HATED HIGH SCHOOL.
- YEAH, NOT ME.
UPPER WEST SIDE, THE PARK, MOVIES.
AT THAT TIME, LIFE WAS GOOD.
- WELL, I WENT TO FOUR DIFFERENT SCHOOLS
IN THREE SEPARATE COUNTRIES.
I WAS ALWAYS THE NEW KID IN CLASS.
AH, HERE'S JOHN SILVESTRI.
- DRAMA CLASS.
WHO'S THAT KID ON THE END?
HE LOOKS LIKE A YOUNG TOM CRUISE.
- "THOMAS REYNOLDS AND HIS SISTER ANNE,
"AND JOHN SILVESTRI SAILED THE SEAS
IN H.M.S. PINAFORE."
- TOM REYNOLDS.
TOM REYNOLDS PRIZE.
I WAS JUST READING THIS YEARBOOK,
WHICH IS FOR THE YEAR FOLLOWING THAT ONE.
YEAH. LOOK TO WHOM IT'S DEDICATED.
- "IN MEMORIAM, THOMAS REYNOLDS."
I'M GUESSING HIS WAS THE FUNERAL ANNE SILVESTRI MENTIONED
THAT THEY ALL ATTENDED; HER BROTHER.
- TOM REYNOLDS DIES,
THEN SILVESTRI MARRIES THE SISTER.
LET ME SEE THAT BOOK AGAIN.
LOOKS LIKE THOMAS REYNOLDS AND JOHN SILVESTRI
WERE INSEPARABLE BUDDIES.
- WELL, SINCE WE HAVE THE DATE,
LET'S FIND OUT HOW HE DIED.
[typing on keyboard]
- TOM REYNOLDS DROWNS IN A LAKE,
AND A LOCAL NEWSPAPER CALLS HIS DEATH
"A TRAGEDY EMBLEMATIC OF THE DESTRUCTIVE FORCE
OF ALCOHOL ON TODAY'S YOUTH."
- YEAH, HIS TOX SCREEN HAD HIM OVER THE LEGAL LIMIT.
BUT...
THE REAL STORY IS PROBABLY IN HIS WITNESS STATEMENTS.
- STATEMENTS FROM GREG FOSTER,
CHRIS DENARDI, JOHN SILVESTRI,
AND THE RECENTLY MURDERED BAILEY O'DOYLE.
- I IMAGINE A TRAGEDY LIKE THAT CAN HAVE A BONDING EFFECT.
- YEAH.
AND IT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM IF THE BOND EVER FALLS APART.
- SO YOU THINK THEY MIGHT HAVE DROWNED THIS KID
AND LIED ABOUT IT.
- HOW OFTEN DO WE SEE THREE WITNESS STATEMENTS
SO NEATLY IN SYNC?
- LIKE THESE SAME GUYS DESCRIBING THAT LAST NIGHT
WITH BAILEY O'DOYLE.
- THEY'RE LYING NOW. THEY PROBABLY LIED BACK THEN.
- I WANNA BRING THEM IN. TOGETHER.
- WELL, HOW'S THAT GONNA WORK?
THEY'VE ALREADY LOCKED DOWN THEIR STORY.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, MIX THEM UP
AND SEE WHO CRACKS?
- THAT'S RIGHT.
EVERY GROUP HAS A DYNAMIC, THERE'S ALWAYS THE LEADER.
HE'S GONNA BE THE LEAST REMORSEFUL,
HAVE LESS GUILT THAN THE OTHERS.
- WHOEVER THAT FIGURE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL
IS PROBABLY IN THE SAME POSITION NOW.
- IT'S GOTTA BE SILVESTRI.
AND THE WEAKEST IS WHOEVER FEELS THE MOST REMORSE AND FEAR.
- WHAT?
- GREG, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
- AT THE FUNERAL, THEY WERE HARASSING ANNE.
- BUT YOU NEVER TOLD HER ANYTHING ABOUT THIS
OR ABOUT-- - OF COURSE NOT.
BUT THE GIST IS THEY'RE DEFINITELY
BUILDING A CASE AGAINST YOU.
SOMEHOW THEY'VE GOT YOU WITH BAILEY
AT THE TIME OF THE MURDER.
- HOW COULD THEY HAVE THAT?
- I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT'S WHAT THEY TOLD ANNE.
THE CUTS ON YOUR HANDS FROM FIGHTING WITH HIM,
THAT MUST BE HOW THEY GOT YOUR DNA.
- LOOK, I MAY NEED A TOP ATTORNEY.
I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR THAT.
- BUT I CAN'T HELP YOU. - BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING BROKE.
YOU MARRIED MONEY.
TOM'S DEATH WORKED OUT FOR YOU.
- I'M JUST STATING A SIMPLE FACT.
TO GET THROUGH THIS, WE CAN'T BE INVOLVED--
- WAIT, WHEN YOU SAID WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER,
THAT WE'D STICK TOGETHER--
- GREG, WE KNOW YOU DID IT.
- LIKE HELL. NOBODY'S SAID THAT.
- THE OTHERS WON'T BE AS FRANK AS I'M BEING.
BUT YOU KNOW YOU DID IT.
JUST LIKE WITH TOM.
- REYNOLDS?
- YOU PUSHED HIM.
YOU PUSHED HIM IN THE RIVER.
- THAT'S CRAZY. WE ALL PUSHED HIM.
- THAT'S NOT HOW I REMEMBER IT.
OR HOW DENARDI REMEMBERS IT.
YOU BEAT BAILEY AND THEN FOLLOWED HIM HOME.
- SO YOU AND DENARDI DECIDED THAT I GO UNDER THE BUS.
- WE WOULD HAVE TO TESTIFY
THAT YOU'VE ALWAYS HAD ANGER ISSUES.
- I'M NOT GOING DOWN FOR THIS, YOU BASTARD.
[sniffling]
DEIRDRE.
HOLD MY CALLS.
- YES, SIR.
[sniffling, whimpering]
[gunshot]
- NO SIGN OF STRUGGLE.
NO REASON TO BELIEVE IT WASN'T SELF-INFLICTED.
- WHO FOUND HIM?
- SECRETARY.
HEARD THE SHOT, RAN IN, AND PASSED OUT.
- AND NO ONE WENT IN OR OUT BEFORE THE SHOOTING.
- FROM THE SECRETARY'S DESK,
NO ONE COULD ENTER WITHOUT BEING SEEN.
- I'D STILL LIKE THE REMAINING MEMBERS
OF THE HARD GUYS BROUGHT IN.
WE'D START WITH DENARDI, THE WEAKEST REMAINING LINK.
WITH THE RIGHT PUSH HE'LL FOLD,
OR AT LEAST LOOK LIKE HE'S FOLDED.
- AND THEN SILVESTRI COMES IN AND SEES HIM
AND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S BEEN SAID.
GOOD.
- AND THEN THERE WERE TWO.
- I DON'T FOLLOW.
- 22 YEARS AGO, THERE WERE FIVE OF YOU.
THREE DAYS AGO, THERE WERE FOUR,
YESTERDAY THREE.
I'D BE A LITTLE NERVOUS.
- POOR GREG WAS CLEARLY YOUR MAN
FOR THE DEATH OF BAILEY O'DOYLE.
IN THE INTEREST OF DECENCY, THE CASE SHOULD BE CLOSED.
- BUT WOULDN'T SOMETHING THAT MIGHT HAVE DRIVEN GREG
TO MURDER EQUALLY COMPEL YOU TO MURDER?
- I THINK THE GHOST OF TOM REYNOLDS
IS HAUNTING ALL OF YOU.
LONG-SIMMERING...GUILT.
- WE ALL GOT DRUNK, TOM GOT DRUNKER.
HE DID SOMETHING STUPID, WE COULDN'T STOP HIM.
- YOU DIDN'T ENCOURAGE HIM TO SWIM
IN A FREEZING-COLD RIVER?
- ALL RIGHT, LOOK.
WE SHOULD HAVE JUMPED ON HIM, HELD HIM DOWN.
IT BROKE OUR HEARTS, BUT YOU CAN'T SAY
WE WERE RESPONSIBLE.
- WHAT'S THIS?
I AGREED TO BE INTERVIEWED.
NO ONE EVER SAID DR. DENARDI WAS HERE.
- DOES IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
- NO, IT'S FINE.
WE'LL GET THIS OVER WITH.
[door shuts]
- WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT TOM REYNOLDS.
- TOM?
- YEAH, AND THE TRAGEDY OF HIS DEATH.
LOOK AT THAT PICTURE.
HE LOOKS SENSITIVE AND SWEET, GENTLE.
WHAT WAS HE DOING MIXING IT UP WITH THE--
WHAT DID YOU CALL YOURSELVES?
- HARD GUYS.
- I DON'T SEE WHERE ANY OF THIS IS RELEVANT
TO BAILEY'S DEATH.
- HARD GUYS.
I MEAN, I KNOW YOU WERE JUST KIDS,
BUT YOU DIDN'T CATCH THE DOUBLE ENTENDRE?
HARD GUYS.
- YES.
WE KNEW THE DOUBLE ENTENDRE AND WE LIKED IT.
WHAT OF IT?
- ACTING TOUGH SOMETIMES IS A REACTION
TO FEELING THE TUG IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
THE FEELINGS THAT YOU FELT FOR TOM,
DID THEY EVER FRIGHTEN YOU, JOHN?
- WHERE THIS IS HEADED, I DON'T NEED TO HEAR THIS.
I'M OUT OF HERE.
- YOU'D REALLY WANNA LEAVE US WITH DR. DENARDI
AND CONTINUE WITHOUT YOU?
- I WARNED YOU, THIS IS HOW THEY WORK.
WE'RE UNDER NO OBLIGATION.
WE CAN JUST LEAVE.
- YOU AND TOM, THEY'VE FIGURED IT OUT.
- JOHN'S A CONTROL FREAK, ISN'T HE?
HASN'T HE ALWAYS BEEN?
- YEAH, ALWAYS WANTED TO BE.
- SO TOM REYNOLDS DIES IN SOME--
- IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
- BUT THERE'S NO REASON TO FEAR OPENNESS
ABOUT AN ACCIDENT.
UNLESS IF TOM'S DEATH WERE SOMETHING ELSE,
SOMETHING VERY PERSONAL BETWEEN YOU AND TOM.
THEN IT WOULD WEIGH ESPECIALLY HEAVILY ON YOU.
- HE MARRIED TOM'S SISTER.
WAS THAT MAYBE AN ATTEMPT TO POSSESS
THE LAST PIECE OF TOM REYNOLDS?
- OR MAYBE SIMPLY TO LOVE HIM
IN THE FEMALE FORM.
- I THINK THAT YOU ALL TRIED TO ATONE
FOR THAT NIGHT.
YOU, DOCTOR, YOU FIX HEARTS.
BUT ISN'T YOURS STILL BROKEN?
WE'VE STUDIED THAT OLD CASE.
WE KNOW IT WASN'T LIKE YOU TOLD IT.
[all talking at once]
- MAYBE IT'S TIME, JOHN.
WE HAVE THIS RITUAL, THIS--
- CHRIS.
- THIS INITIATION WE DID IF YOU WANTED TO BE A HARD GUY.
- ALL THE WAY, REYNOLDS.
- UNH!
- MOVE!
- WE ALL DID IT.
WE STRIPPED AND SWAM THE RIVER AND BACK.
- IN OCTOBER, JOHN.
NOT IN FEBRUARY WHEN WE, WHEN WE MADE TOM DO IT.
- COME ON. - MOVE, MAN.
- LET'S GO OVER HERE. - WHOO-HOO-HOO!
- SO, GUYS...
I MIGHT NOT MAKE IT.
- WE ALL DID IT. YOU'LL DO IT.
- COME ON. - WHAT'S GOING ON?
- COME ON. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
- COME ON. - GO!
- WHOO! - COME ON, LET'S MOVE!
[laughter]
- WE DID IT, ALL RIGHT, DETECTIVE?
UH...
WE KILLED TOM REYNOLDS.
- WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
- BECAUSE I AM TIRED, JOHN.
HE TOLD US TOM RAPED HIM
WHILE HE WAS PASSED OUT DRUNK.
WE GOT DRUNK, WE CHASED TOM,
WE MADE HIM SWIM FOR IT.
- TWO CHOICES, REYNOLDS! - OH, YEAH!
- COME ON, LET'S GO! COME ON!
MAN UP, YOU WUSS, MAN UP! - COME ON, COME ON!
- HELP! - YEAH, KEEP GOING, KEEP GOING!
- I-I GOTTA COME BACK, PLEASE!
PLEASE!
- HE WANTS TO KNOW, JOHN.
WAS IT RAPE?
OR WAS IT CONSENSUAL?
- UNDER THE LAW, WE COMMITTED NO OFFENSE.
- GET REAL.
BAILEY WAS ABOUT TO REVEAL THE TRUTH
ABOUT TOM REYNOLDS,
AND IT THREATENED EVERYTHING YOU ARE.
- WE ALL GOT EMAILS THREATENING THAT, BUT I SWEAR,
I DID NOT KILL BAILEY.
WE MET IN THE PARKING LOT.
BAILEY SHOWS UP DRUNK, WE HAD WORDS.
FOSTER STARTS BEATING HIM UP, BUT I STOPPED IT.
IT WASN'T RIGHT. HE WAS OUR BUDDY.
BAILEY WAS IN NO CONDITION TO DRIVE,
SO I DROVE HIM HOME.
I TOLD HIM,
"DON'T SCREW WITH US, BAILEY."
HE LOOKED AT ME SO SADLY.
THE LAST TIME I SAW HIM, HE WAS THERE ALONE.
- I'M DONE.
I'M DONE.
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN PROVE.
ANNE.
OH, GOD. ANNE.
I'M SO SORRY THEY BROUGHT YOU HERE.
I JUST WANTED TO SPARE YOU.
- SPARE ME FROM KNOWING WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS FELT?
THAT YOU NEVER DESIRED ME.
OR FROM KNOWING WHAT YOU DID TO TOM?
- WHAT HAPPENED IN THERE MIGHT BRING CLOSURE
TO A 20-YEAR-OLD TRAGEDY, BUT IT DOESN'T SOLVE OUR CASE.
- WELL, IF ONE OF THEM HAD KILLED BAILEY,
IT WOULD HAVE SURFACED IN THAT ROOM.
- TOM REYNOLDS' DEATH STILL DRIVES THIS.
- BUT HOW?
WHO'S BLACKMAILING WHOM?
- I'M WANNA GO TO STATEN ISLAND,
RETRACE BAILEY'S LAST MOVEMENTS.
[ferry horn blows]
- SO YOU HAVE A HUNCH THAT YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO SHARE.
- WELL, IT'S STILL IN THE FORMATIVE PHASE.
- COME ON, I PROMISE NOT TO LAUGH
EVEN IF IT SOUNDS DUMB.
- OKAY.
FOR GUYS BAILEY'S AGE,
HAVING A WIFE WHO DOESN'T CARE PUTS HIM IN A BIG CLUB.
OUR CAPTAIN SAID THAT.
- YES, SHE DID. I WAS THERE. AND?
- HER WOMAN'S INTUITION MIGHT BORDER
ON THE PRETERNATURAL.
- STILL IN THE FORMATIVE PHASE, RIGHT.
SO WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH STATEN ISLAND?
- MANHATTAN HAS THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING,
THE BRONX HAS YANKEE STADIUM,
BROOKLYN, THE BRIDGE, QUEENS HAS THE U.S. OPEN,
STATEN ISLAND HAS A GIGANTIC LANDFILL.
CAN'T YOU SMELL IT YET?
- I WONDERED WHAT THAT WAS.
SO STATEN ISLAND'S KNOWN FOR ITS DUMP?
- SO LET'S SEE.
I'M BAILEY. WHY DON'T I GO INTO THE HOME?
- YOUR MARRIAGE IS NOT A PLACE OF REFUGE.
- IT'S NIGHT. SHE'S UP THERE.
HELLO, MRS. O'DOYLE.
PROJECT RUNWAY, I PRESUME?
YEAH, HE SAW HER UP THERE,
BUT HE'S DOWN HERE IN A POOL OF LIGHT.
WHY DOES SHE SAY SHE DIDN'T SEE HIM?
[doorbell rings]
HELLO, MRS. O'DOYLE.
UH, DETECTIVE STEVENS, DETEC--
- I REMEMBER. - YEAH.
UH, MRS. O'DOYLE.
WE WERE JUST, UH, SPITBALLING OUT HERE.
UM, IF YOU'VE BEEN ON YOUR TREADMILL,
WHERE YOU SEEM TO SPEND A WHOLE,
WHOLE LOT OF TIME,
THAT NIGHT WHEN YOUR HUSBAND ARRIVED,
YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN HIM OUT YOUR WINDOW.
- I GUESS I TOOK A BREAK.
- OH.
MIND IF WE, UH, TOOK A QUICK LOOK AROUND?
- WHY NOT?
[door closes]
I GOT SOME OF MY OLD LAYOUTS OUT OF STORAGE.
- YEP, ONE'S MISSING.
- GOT BURIED WITH BAILEY. HIS FAVORITE.
- WHICH ONE WAS THAT?
- NUMBER 48, I THINK.
- YES.
- AND YOU LOOKED OUT AND SAW BAILEY
ALL DEFEATED AND BEATEN UP.
WHAT'D THAT MAKE YOU THINK, LANI?
- IF I HAD SEEN HIM, I MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT
HOW I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LIVING IN A BROWNSTONE
ON THE UPPER WEST SIDE, UH,
HOW I COULDN'T STAND ONE MORE DAY
ROTTING IN THIS STINKING DUMP.
- WASN'T HE SUPPOSED TO GET MONEY FROM THEM?
THAT WAS THE PLAN.
- HE HAD NO PLAN.
- HE MUST HAVE TOLD YOU ABOUT TOM REYNOLDS' DROWNING.
WE KNOW ABOUT THE BLACKMAIL.
- UH, HEY, WHATEVER HE DID,
I NEVER SAW A NICKEL FROM IT.
- IT'S GOTTA BE TOUGH WHEN YOU MARRY A WINNER
AND THINGS GO SOUR.
- YEAH.
I WAS PISSED ABOUT HIM LOSING AGAIN AND AGAIN.
IT'S MY RIGHT TO BE PISSED ABOUT THAT.
- YOU SAW HIM, YOU KNEW HE'D LOST AGAIN.
SO YOU FOLLOWED HIM TO THE PARK,
AND SWUNG FOR THE FENCES.
- YOU'RE CRAZY.
YOU CAN'T PROVE THAT.
- I THINK I CAN.
- HE MEANS WE CAN EXHUME THE BAT.
HIS FAVORITE IS STILL IN THE CASE,
THE ONE HE HIT HOME RUN NUMBER 48 WITH.
YOU PICKED THE WRONG BAT.
- I'M THINKING THAT WHEN HIS TEAMMATE
GOT ON YOU FOR IGNORING HIS WISH,
YOU PICKED THE ONE THAT YOU'D HIT HIM WITH
AND BURIED HIM WITH THE EVIDENCE.
- [sobs]
TOM REYNOLDS.
OH, WHY DID I HAVE TO PAY FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
- TOM'S DEATH WAS BAILEY'S BAGGAGE.
MADE HIM HARD TO LIVE WITH, RIGHT?
- IT WAS WHY HE KEPT FAILING.
GUILT.
HE THOUGHT HE DESERVED TO FAIL.
I TOLD HIM, I SAID, "JUST PROVE YOU'RE A MAN.
GET SOMETHING BACK FOR ALL THE GRIEF."
- THREATEN TO GO PUBLIC, RUIN THEIR LIVES.
- WITH ALL THEY HAD, THEY COULD HAVE PAID US EASY.
BUT NO.
BAILEY JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE BALLS.
AND THEN I SAW HIM SITTING OUT THERE, BROKEN,
AND I KNEW HE FAILED AGAIN, AND I JUST--
I JUST LOST IT.
[sniffling]
- YOU GOTTA WONDER,
WITHOUT THE GHOST OF TOM REYNOLDS,
WOULD THEY HAVE MADE IT?
- I DON'T KNOW.
PICTURE A GIRL IN A BALLPARK,
ON HER FEET IN A CHEERING CROWD,
THRILLED WHEN HE PUTS ONE OVER THE FENCE.
A HERO, HER HERO.
THEN ONE DAY HE'S JUST A GUY ON THE COUCH
HOLDING A CAN OF BEER
WHILE SHE SORTS HIS DIRTY LAUNDRY.
- MORAL: DON'T MARRY A SPORTS HERO?
- OR A WOMAN WHO WILL KILL TO GET OFF STATEN ISLAND.
