- 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.
- PHYSICIAN'S WORLD.
GIVE ME A BREAK.
- WHAT? WE'RE IN THE MEDICAL BUSINESS.
- ARE WE EVER.
7% EQUITY IN TRIBECA COMM
AND A 12% INTEREST IN OUR INVESTMENT.
HENRY, COME HERE. COME HERE.
MWAH. I LOVE THIS KID.
WHERE'S CUBBY WITH THE SAUSAGE?
- RIGHT HERE. - GOOD MAN.
- HENRY, I'LL SWAP YOU FOR A BEER.
- MR. PRIME TIME. HOW'S THE REALITY SHOW?
- REALITY? THE PRODUCER MADE ME
RENAME MY SANDWICHES AFTER ITALIAN PAINTERS.
- CUBBY, WHAT DO THEY CALL THE SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS?
- A "MICKEL-ANGELO."
- "MICHAEL-ANGELO." AND I'LL TAKE ONE, HENRY.
MAKE ME A MICHELANGELO.
- SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS, RIGHT?
COMES WITH A SIDE OF A HEART ATTACK?
GIVE HIM A GARDENBURGER, HENRY.
- LISTEN, WITH THIS HOSPITAL THING,
IN 18 MONTHS,
WE'RE LOOKING AT 900K A YEAR EACH MINIMUM
OFF HENRY'S DEAL.
- GET OUT. - GET IN.
UNTIL SOME GENIUS COMES UP WITH THE CURE FOR DEATH,
HOSPITALS ARE GONNA BE OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
- WHOSE CHRISTMAS LIST YOU ON, HENRY?
- BUDDY OF MINE AND HIS PARTNER
BOUGHT TRIBECA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL.
WENT TO DARTMOUTH TOGETHER.
- AND WHO MADE YOU STAY AND GRADUATE?
- OH, YOU KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD DO?
ASSISTED SUICIDES.
- THEY'RE ILLEGAL, BLEV.
- ON THE SLY.
BY THE TIME THE REST OF THE COUNTRY COMES TO HER SENSES,
WE'LL BE WAY AHEAD.
- THOSE WERE THE OLD WAYS.
BUT WE ARE THROUGH WITH THE OLD WAYS.
RIGHT?
HOW ABOUT YOU, BLEV?
ARE YOU WITH ME, CUBBY?
- OH, YEAH, SURE.
- DOM, YOU?
- YEAH, SURE. - YEAH.
- YEAH.
- I'M ABOUT TO AUTHORIZE A MEDICARE AUDIT
ON SILVER-SPRING HEALTH SYSTEMS.
WHEN IT'S COMPLETED,
YOU AND YOUR PARTNER
WILL UNDOUBTEDLY FACE CRIMINAL CHARGES.
- FOR WHAT?
- SILVER-SPRINGS COLONOSCOPIES
ARE 300% OVER THE NORM.
ECHOCARDIOGRAMS ARE 375% HIGHER
THAN THEY SHOULD BE.
- BUSINESS IS GOOD.
THREE MONTHS AGO WE ACQUIRED TRIBECA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL.
- WELL, THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY
TOOK PLACE BEFORE THAT PURCHASE.
I FOUND OVER 200 UP-CODING VIOLATIONS.
- UP-CODING?
- SIMPLE GASTRITIS BILLED AS A COLONOSCOPY,
CODING A LEVEL-ONE VISIT AS A LEVEL-FOUR SURGERY.
- BUT THIS IS SOMEONE ELSE'S MISTAKE.
- WHILE THE AUDIT'S IN PLACE,
YOUR PRACTICE AND THE NEW HOSPITAL
RECEIVE NO MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENTS.
WE'RE GONNA TURN THE FAUCET OFF.
- WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME, TARNEY?
- 3 MILLION. CASH.
- OH, HOLY CRAP. WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
- STALL. I'LL MEET WITH THAT PRICK, TARNEY, AGAIN.
HE'LL TAKE LESS. - YEAH, WELL, WHAT IF HE WON'T?
WE GOT TO TELL HENRY, JOEL.
- ARE YOU NUTS? NO.
- NO, HE'S A FRIEND. A GOOD FRIEND.
HE'LL UNDERSTAND.
- UNDERSTAND WHAT, SHELLY?
THAT AFTER HE INVESTED
WE FORGOT TO TELL HIM THAT WE COOK THE BOOKS?
YOU SAY NOTHING TO HIM.
YOU KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ABOUT THIS.
WE'LL HANDLE IT. ALL RIGHT?
SHELLY?
NOT ONE WORD.
- POSSIBLE M.I.
- SORRY. HE'S GOT A BAD HEART.
I LOOK, HE'S DOWN ON THE LAWN.
DOM, JUST BREATHE EASY.
BREATHE EASY. - DOWN THERE, DOWN THERE. BAY 4.
[telephone ringing]
- HI, THIS IS LES TARNEY.
I'M NOT IN. LEAVE ME A MESSAGE AT THE BEEP.
[beep] - LES, WHERE ARE YOU?
I HAVE BEEN CALLING AND CALLING.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO COME AND PICK ME UP.
WE'RE GOING TO DINNER. HELLO?
LES? UGH. OKAY, THAT'S IT. I'M COMING OVER.
[click]
- LES TARNEY.
THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN RESOURCES.
ASSOCIATE INSPECTOR GENERAL.
- NOT ANYMORE. CHOKED TO DEATH.
- YEAH.
SO THE CHAIR IS KNOCKED OVER.
I SEE. AND SO MAYBE HE DID THE HEIMLICH ON HIMSELF?
- YUP. UNFORTUNATELY,
WORKS BETTER WHEN SOMEONE'S THERE TO DO IT FOR YOU.
- WELL, HOW LONG HAS LES TARNEY BEEN LIKE THIS?
- ABOUT THREE HOURS.
PUTS T.O.D. AROUND 8:00 P.M. THIS EVENING.
- SO HE CHOKED.
WHY--WHY CALL HOMICIDE?
- WOMAN WHO FOUND HIM LOST IT.
TOLD ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN
THAT SOMEBODY MURDERED HER FIANCE.
- THE LIFE OF A SINGLE MAN.
HIS, UH, PLATE'S TURNED THE WRONG WAY.
- YEAH. WELL, I'LL WRANGLE A PHOTOGRAPHER.
- WE PLANNED TO GET MARRIED.
- YOU SAID YOU FOUND MR. TARNEY AROUND 9:00?
- MM-HMM.
- OH, THIS IS DETECTIVE NICHOLS.
JULIA HIKEN WAS ENGAGED TO THE DECEASED.
- WELL, ENGAGED TO BE ENGAGED.
- YOU ARRIVED AT, UH, 9:00.
WAS HE EXPECTING YOU?
- I WAS EXPECTING HIM.
LES WAS SUPPOSED TO PICK ME UP.
NEVER SHOWED.
HIS CELL KEPT KICKING TO HIS ANSWERING SERVICE.
- SO YOU CAME HERE.
- I KNOCKED AND KNOCKED,
FINALLY USED THE KEY UNDER THE MAT.
- AND THEN DID YOU DO ANYTHING TO REVIVE HIM?
- I'M AN R.N.
I COULD SEE HE WAS DEAD.
SOMEONE KILLED HIM.
- I SEE. WELL, THE PROBLEM, JULIA,
IS THAT, UM, YOUR FIANCE,
HIS DEATH LOOKS A LOT LIKE IT'S ACCIDENTAL.
- NO. NO.
UH-UH.
NO, WE WERE GOING OUT TO DINNER.
WE WERE GOING TO CELEBRATE.
SOMEONE DID THIS.
HE WAS WORKING ON SOMETHING BIG.
WE WERE GONNA LIVE GOOD.
MAYBE IN EUROPE.
- SO DID HE SAY WHAT SOMETHING BIG MEANT?
- I DON'T HAVE A HEAD FOR BUSINESS.
- SOMEONE'S IN DENIAL.
- YOU THINK LES GAVE JULIA THE HEAVE-HO?
THAT'S RIGHT. SO WHAT DID THIS GUY DO?
TURNS OFF HIS CELL PHONE AND SITS DOWN TO A QUIET MEAL,
POURS HIMSELF A NICE GLASS OF THE VERBOTENSTUFF...
- DETECTIVES?
FOUND THIS PILL IN THE HALL.
WE CHECKED. NOTHING LIKE IT IN THE MEDICINE CABINET.
- ALL RIGHT.
SO BAG UP EVERYTHING THAT'S ON THE COUNTER.
THAT WHOLE DINNER, THE STEAK AND THE WINE,
EVERYTHING THAT'S ON THE COUNTER.
- LES TARNEY IS DEAD.
- WHAT?
- SAW IT ON WEBMD, ANSWER-MED, HEALTHCENTRAL.
IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET.
THEY'RE SAYING HE CHOKED ON HIS FOOD.
- OH, MY GOD.
WELL, SOMEBODY LIKES US, HUH?
- IT'S MURDER, SHELLY.
- YOU SAID HE CHOKED.
- STOP IT! JUST--JUST--JUST STOP IT.
- STOP WHAT?
- YOU TALKED, DIDN'T YOU?
I KNEW IT.
- WHAT--WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU SAYING THAT I TOLD HENRY AND THAT HE HAD TARNEY WHACKED?
NO, JOEL. ARE YOU CRAZY?
- HE'S MAGGLIO DEPIANO'S SON.
- HENRY WOULD NEVER DO THAT.
HE'S NOTHING LIKE HIS FATHER.
I DIDN'T TALK TO HIM.
I SWEAR.
WE JUST GOT VERY LUCKY.
THIS WAS AN ACCIDENT.
A DIVINE ACCIDENT.
[door opens, closes]
- SUBSTANTIAL PIECE OF MEAT
LODGED DEEP IN HIS TRACHEA.
TEETH MARKS MATCH.
- UH, NOTHING INDICATING A STRUGGLE?
- BUT FOR THE CHAIR, NOT A MARK ON HIM.
- LOOKED LIKE HE DIDN'T EAT MUCH STEAK.
- HE DIDN'T EAT ANY. STOMACH WAS EMPTY.
- ALL RIGHT, SO, UH,
WHAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU DO WHEN YOU CHOKE?
- GRAB FOR SOMETHING TO DRINK.
- RIGHT, BUT HIS WINE ISN'T TOUCHED.
PLUS CHOKES ON THE FIRST BITE.
- WELL, HE MIGHT HAVE HAD SOME HELP WITH THAT.
I FOUND HEAVY TRACES
OF THE BETA BLOCKER INDERAL IN HIS SYSTEM.
COMMON SIDE EFFECT IS DIFFICULTY SWALLOWING.
- WHAT ABOUT THE CAPSULE CSU FOUND IN TARNEY'S HOUSE?
- THAT WAS DIGOXIN.
- DIGOXIN. OH, THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN INDERAL.
DIGOXIN IS FOR CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
WHEN NOTHING ELSE WORKS.
- WELL, YOU KNOW YOUR MEDS.
- THE HOUSE I GREW UP IN
HAD A PHYSICIAN'S DESK REFERENCE IN THE JOHN.
WHAT ABOUT MR. TARNEY AND DIGOXIN?
- IT'S NOT SOMETHING HE'D BE TAKING.
HIS HEART WAS GOOD.
I'M READY TO RULE ACCIDENTAL.
- IT'S NOT GONNA MAKE THE FIANCEE HAPPY.
- AND HIS PLATE WAS TURNED THE WRONG WAY.
- WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
- UH, GIVE IT TILL TOMORROW?
- WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?
- HE COMES BY HENRY'S LAST NIGHT
WITH A COUPLE OF SALMON STEAKS,
AND HE JUST--HE GOES DOWN BEFORE THE CHARCOAL EVEN GETS HOT.
- IT'S A MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION. IT'S BAD.
- HE'S GONNA LIVE, RIGHT?
- IF HE DIES, I'M GONNA KILL HIM.
I MEAN, WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER
SINCE OUR FIRST COMMUNION.
- DOM, I'M SORRY.
I'M SO SORRY.
- YOU READY FOR ME?
- HEY, COME ON IN.
A.D.A. ROYDELL GETTY.
BUREAU CHIEF OF TRIAL DIVISION.
DETECTIVES STEVENS AND NICHOLS.
- ANOTHER LONG SUFFERING CUBS FAN.
- I ROLL WITH THE WHITE SOX, ACTUALLY.
- SMART GIRL.
DETECTIVE NICHOLS,
I MET YOUR DAD THE OTHER NIGHT AT THE GUGGENHEIM.
NICE MAN.
- YES, HE IS.
- GOT A CALL FROM HEALTH AND HUMAN RESOURCES.
THEY ASKED TO BE INFORMED
AS SOON AS TARNEY'S DEATH IS DETERMINED
ACCIDENTAL OR FOUL PLAY.
- SURE. SURE. ONE OF THEIR OWN WENT DOWN.
- AND SINCE THE HEALTHCARE REFORM BILL PASSED,
THEY'VE BEEN TREATED TO DEATH THREATS,
BOMB SCARES, HATE MAIL.
- WHAT HAPPENED TO WRITING YOUR CONGRESSMAN?
- 21ST CENTURY, DETECTIVE.
WE DON'T DO QUIET ANYMORE.
- AIN'T IT THE TRUTH.
SO H.H.R. THINKS THAT SOMEBODY'S OUT TO GET HIM?
- PEOPLE ARE SCARED OVER THERE.
- DO WE HAVE ANYTHING MORE TO GO ON
THAN A HALF-CHEWED PIECE OF STEAK?
- THE ONLY PRINTS IN TARNEY'S HOUSE
ARE HIS AND HIS GIRLFRIEND'S.
- THE M.E. DID FIND INDERAL IN TARNEY'S SYSTEM.
WE CHECKED HIS MEDICAL RECORDS.
HE DIDN'T GET IT FROM A DOCTOR.
- WHAT ABOUT A NURSE?
THE GIRLFRIEND, JULIA HIKEN,
ISN'T SHE AN R.N.? - UH-HUH.
- I TOLD YOU, WHEN I GOT THERE, LES WAS DEAD.
- LES, OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM?
- WE HAD MADE PLANS. WE WERE--
- ENGAGED TO BE ENGAGED.
THE LAST REFUGE OF THE COMMITMENT CHALLENGED.
- I HAD A FUTURE WITH LES.
- BUT NO KEY TO HIS HOUSE.
- WHY'D YOU GIVE HIM THE BETA BLOCKERS, JULIA?
- HE WANTED THEM.
THEY WORK LIKE TRANQUILIZERS.
LES ASKED ME FOR THEM,
BECAUSE HE SAID HE HAD TO BE TOTALLY CALM
FOR A MEETING HE HAD WITH SOMEONE.
- DID HE SAY WHO?
- NO. NO.
- BUT HE SAID SOMETHING.
WHAT DID HE SAY, JULIA?
WHAT DID HE SAY ABOUT THAT MEETING?
- THAT BIG DEAL THAT I TOLD YOU ABOUT,
THE ONE THAT WAS GONNA SET US UP,
THAT WAS THE MEETING.
I TOLD HIM JUST TWO PILLS.
AND HE--HE TOOK THREE.
- DO YOU HAVE A PRESCRIPTION FOR INDERAL?
YOU STOLE THE PILLS.
- I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE LES.
PLEASE.
DOES MY EMPLOYER HAVE TO KNOW?
MY JOB IS ALL I'VE GOT LEFT.
- MR. TARNEY CANCELLED HIS MORNING MEETINGS
AND REMAINED IN HIS OFFICE.
- UH-HUH. AND, UH, NO-- NO MEETINGS IN THE AFTERNOON?
- JUST ONE.
AT 5:30.
WITH...
DR. JOEL SILVERSTERN.
TRIBECA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL.
237 CANAL STREET.
- THAT WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW HIM?
- YEAH. - MM-HMM.
- FORGIVE ME FOR SAYING THIS, CARLA,
BUT, UM, YOU KNOW,
I MEAN, EVERYBODY GRIEVES IN THEIR OWN WAY,
BUT YOU DON'T SEEM TOO SADDENED BY THE PASSING OF YOUR BOSS.
- YOU KNOW HOW SOME PEOPLE
HAVE TO DO MEAN THINGS FOR THEIR JOB
BUT THEY'RE PERFECTLY NICE OTHERWISE?
- HMM.
- LES TARNEY WASN'T NICE?
- HE WAS A CACTUS ASS
WHO MADE EVERYONE AROUND HIM MISERABLE.
AND HE ENJOYED IT.
- I KNOW. LES TARNEY'S DEATH IS TRAGIC.
I READ IT ON MEDWEB.
IT WAS A PIECE OF FOOD?
- HOW DOES THE WEB FIND OUT EVERYTHING BEFORE WE DO?
- DR. SILVERSTERN,
YOU SAID YOU MET MR. TARNEY HERE
AROUND 5:45?
- WE WERE SET FOR 5:30,
BUT HE HIT THAT TRAFFIC HERNIA
ON WEST BROADWAY.
- TRAFFIC HERNIA.
WHAT WAS THE MEETING ABOUT? CAN I ASK?
- THREE MONTHS AGO MY PARTNER AND I BOUGHT THIS HOSPITAL.
- OOH. WELL, THAT'S A--
THAT'S A BIG TICKET ITEM, ISN'T IT?
- PLEASE.
IT'S NOT NEW YORK PRESBYTERIAN.
IT'S 200 BEDS, A SMALL RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENT.
WE WANTED TO GO OVER MERGER GUIDELINES WITH LES
JUST TO MAKE SURE WE WERE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH H.H.R.
DON'T WANT THEM ON YOUR BACK.
- IT'S NO LONGER A PROBLEM, IS IT?
- SORRY, WHAT, UH... WHAT'S NO LONGER A PROBLEM?
- SECRETARIAT.
LOOK AT THIS.
'73 BELMONT, HUH?
HE WON BY 31 LENGTHS. BIG RED.
- YOU PLAY THE PONIES, DR. SILVERSTERN?
- NO, MY PARTNER SHELLY USED TO,
BUT HE JUST DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR IT ANYMORE.
- YEAH, BEING A DOCTOR.
ALL-CONSUMING PROFESSION.
- FORENSICS HAS SOMETHING.
- SO... [claps]
WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?
- WELL, THE PLATE'S POSITION ON THE TABLE IS WRONG.
TARNEY WAS SITTING HERE.
ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTION OF THE CUT MARKS,
HE HAD TO BE STANDING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE TABLE
TO MAKE THAT CUT.
- OR SOMEONE ELSE DID THE CUTTING?
- THAT'S RIGHT.
- UH-HUH.
- THAT'S RIGHT.
SO THIS SOMEBODY, BEFOREHAND,
KILLS LES TARNEY,
AND, IF HE WAS IN THIS POSITION,
HE COULD HAVE COME AROUND HERE LIKE THIS,
LIKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT,
UH, AND THEN MADE THE CUT
OBVIOUSLY FROM THIS SIDE OF THE TABLE,
GOTTEN IT FROM HERE, CUTS THAT PIECE,
AND THEN PUTS IT INTO DEAD LES TARNEY'S MOUTH,
WORKS HIS TEETH MARKS ON IT,
AND THEN SHOVES IT DOWN INTO THE BACK OF HIS THROAT.
- THAT'S FINE, BUT HOW DO YOU KILL SOMEONE
AND NOT LEAVE A MARK?
- GUILLOTINE CHOKE.
MARTIAL ARTS TECHNIQUE.
GUILLOTINE PRESSES THE CAROTID ARTERY.
CUTS BLOOD SUPPLY TO THE BRAIN.
- AND WITH THAT AMOUNT OF INDERAL IN TARNEY'S SYSTEM,
GOOD NIGHT.
- TIME TO OPEN A GRAND JURY ON THE NURSE.
- JULIA HIKEN?
- I READ THE INTERVIEW.
HIKEN ADMITTED THE DRUGS CAME FROM HER.
- BUT TARNEY HOUNDED HER FOR THE INDERAL.
- SO SHE CLAIMS.
THINK SHE WASN'T HAPPY BECAUSE TARNEY WANTED OUT.
IT'S IN YOUR REPORT.
ENGAGED TO BE ENGAGED?
- I DISAGREE.
I THINK THAT LES TARNEY'S MURDER
WAS RELATED TO THIS MEETING
WITH DOCTORS SPRING AND SILVERSTERN
THAT, UH, HE WAS NERVOUS ABOUT.
- SILVERSTERN AND HIS PARTNER RECENTLY BOUGHT A HOSPITAL.
THAT'S A PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE REASON
TO MEET WITH SOMEONE FROM H.H.R.
- YEAH, BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING
FAR FROM LEGITIMATE ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR MEETING.
- WHEN WE'D FINISHED QUESTIONING SILVERSTERN,
HE LOOKED LIKE HE WANDERED OUT OF THE BARREL
OF A SMOKING GUN.
- PLUS WHICH HE HAS ON HIS WALL
A BIG PICTURE OF SECRETARIAT,
SO THERE'S OBVIOUSLY GAMBLING IN THE MIX SOMEHOW.
- YOU SURE IT WAS SECRETARIAT?
- WHAT?
I'M SURE THAT JULIA HIKEN IS NOT A KILLER.
- DR. ROGERS, UM, INDERAL,
CAN IT CAUSE DIFFICULTY IN SWALLOWING?
- AS A SIDE EFFECT.
IT'S IN MY REPORT.
- JULIA HIKEN ADMITTED STEALING THE DRUG.
SHE ADMITTED GIVING IT TO LES TARNEY.
HE CHOKED ON A PIECE OF MEAT.
EVEN IF IT WAS ACCIDENTAL.
IT'S MANSLAUGHTER.
CAPTAIN.
- PICK HER UP.
- WERE THE TWO OF YOU FIGHTING?
- NO.
- WE TALKED TO LES' NEIGHBORS.
SEEMS LIKE THE DAY BEFORE YOU FOUND HIM DEAD
THERE WAS A WOMAN SHOUTING.
- BECAUSE I FOUGHT WITH LES OVER THE INDERAL.
HE WAS TAKING TOO MUCH. I WARNED HIM. I DID.
- BECAUSE YOU LOVED HIM?
- YES.
- HIS SECRETARY CALLED HIM A CACTUS ASS.
- LES HAD ZERO PEOPLE SKILLS,
BUT HE WAS KIND.
HE HAD A GOOD SIDE.
I TOLD YOU THE TRUTH.
I DIDN'T HAVE TO.
WHY AM I GOING TO JAIL?
I AM A NURSE. I HELP PEOPLE.
I DIDN'T DO THIS!
- DEPIANO BUGGED MY OFFICE!
- KEEP IT DOWN, JOEL.
- KEEP IT DOWN? HE ALREADY HEARD EVERYTHING!
HE KNEW TARNEY WAS BLACKMAILING US, AND HE KILLED HIM.
- NO. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE WOULD EVER DO THAT.
- WHY? BECAUSE YOU SHARE AN IVY-LEAGUE HANDSHAKE WITH HIM?
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE, SHELLY.
THE POLICE ARE SWEATING ME!
- HEY, STOP PANICKING.
- YEAH?
CHECK YOUR OFFICE, SHELLY.
- THANK YOU.
- THIS MORNING THE DOORMAN FROM THE BUILDING ACROSS THE STREET
TOLD US HE SAW JULIA HIKEN
LEAVE HER PLACE AROUND 8:45 THE NIGHT TARNEY DIED.
- YEAH, AND JUDGING BY THE WAY
THAT GUY WAS LOOKING YOU UP AND DOWN,
HE PROBABLY GOT A-- GOT A GOOD LOOK AT JULIA.
- IF HE DID AND HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE TIME,
THEN TARNEY WAS ALREADY DEAD WHEN SHE LEFT HER PLACE.
- JULIA HIKEN WAS ARRAIGNED
AND CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER AND FELONY POSSESSION
OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE.
SHE MANAGED TO POST BAIL.
SHE TOOK A CAB HOME.
AND 20 MINUTES AGO SHE JUMPED FROM A TENTH-STORY WINDOW.
SO...AHEM.
- TACTIC WORKED.
WE SWEATED HER.
- SILVER-SPRING ENDED A PARTNERSHIP
WITH AN L.L.C. CALLED LAWN CHAIR INVESTMENT GROUP.
BUSINESS ADDRESS IS LISTED AS 237 CANAL STREET,
IN THE TRIBECA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL BUILDING.
PRINCIPAL INVESTORS ARE A DOMINIC FABRIGAZI JR.,
ANTHONY BLEVINS, THEODORE VIVIANO,
ANNALISA GENTILO, AND HENRY DEPIANO.
- WHAT WAS THE LAST NAME ON THE LIST?
- HENRY DEPIANO.
- THAT'S MAG DEPIANO'S SON.
- WHO'S MAG DEPIANO?
- HE HAS A FRANCHISE OF GENTLEMAN'S CLUBS,
AND OWNS A LOT OF HEROIN FROM MYANMAR.
- SO MAG'S A THUG,
AND HIS SON BUYS A HOSPITAL.
ONE OF HIS DOCTOR PARTNERS BETS THE HORSES.
TARNEY COMES POKING AROUND, CHOKES ON A STEAK.
MAYBE MAG WAS THE ONE WHO CUT TARNEY'S MEAT FOR HIM.
- DOUBTFUL.
HE'S IN RIKERS.
SERVING 18 MONTHS FOR POSSESSION OF A CONCEALED WEAPON.
- THE APPLE FALLS NOT FAR FROM THE TREE?
HENRY'S AN ORANGE.
WE HAVEN'T SPOKEN SINCE HIS MOTHER DIED OF CANCER.
- AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHERE HE IS, WHAT HE DOES FOR A LIVING?
- OF COURSE I DO. HE'S MY SON.
HE GOT A PLACE OUT IN QUEENS BY THE WATER.
HE SWEET-TALKED SOME FRIENDS TO INVEST IN A HOSPITAL.
- YOU DON'T APPROVE?
- I'VE SEEN HIS I.Q.
HENRY'S A SMART BOY.
HE'S WASTING HIS GOD-GIVEN TALENT.
- YEAH, HE COULD BE SERVING 18 MONTHS
FOR POSSESSION OF A CONCEALED WEAPON.
- TICKY-TACK CHARGE.
- YOU'VE HAD VISITS FROM ANNIE GENTILO
AND DOM FABRIGAZI.
YOU TALK TO YOUR SON'S FRIENDS?
- THEY WERE MY FRIENDS FIRST.
THEY WANTED MY BLESSING IN THAT HOSPITAL NONSENSE.
WHAT WAS I GONNA SAY?
- NOTHING WORSE THAN HARD WORK AND AN HONEST INVESTMENT?
- HARD WORK.
LOT OF GOOD IT DID.
COUPLE DAYS AGO POOR DOM COLLAPSED.
- COLLAPSED?
- HE SHOULD HAVE STAYED RETIRED.
HENRY KNEW DOM HAD HEART PROBLEMS.
- YEAH, COMPARED TO HOW YOUR FATHER'S LIVING, THIS IS, UH,
IT'S SUCH NICE OFFICE DECORATION.
IT'S KIND OF--
KIND OF A FREUD ROOMS WITH MARCUS WELBY VIBE.
UH, SHAME ABOUT DOM FABRIGAZI.
HE'S, WHAT? ONE OF YOUR BUSINESS PARTNERS?
- UH, AND A CLOSE FRIEND.
- DID FABRIGAZI HAVE A HISTORY OF HEART PROBLEMS?
- DOES. BUT HIS REGULAR SPECIALIST
IS TREATING HIM HERE, SO...
- DO YOU KNOW IF HE TAKES ANYTHING?
- DOES HE TAKE ANYTHING?
- YEAH, YOU KNOW, MEDICATION.
- I'M SURE THAT HE DOES,
BUT THAT WOULD REALLY BE A QUESTION FOR HIS M.D.
- OKAY.
WHAT IS THAT?
LOOK AT THAT. WOW.
IT'S A GOLD ST--
OH, NO, IT'S GOLD PLATED.
- IT'S A GIFT FROM MY PARTNERS.
- OH, HERE WE GO. ANYTHING?
- LOUD AND CLEAR.
[elevator bell dings]
MR. DEPIANO, DID YOU KNOW WHO LES TARNEY WAS?
- YEAH. YEAH, I HEARD ABOUT HIM.
HE'S THE HEALTH AND HUMAN RESOURCES GUY
THAT RECENTLY DIED.
- FEW HOURS BEFORE MR. TARNEY'S DEATH,
HE MET WITH DR. JOEL SILVERSTERN.
WERE YOU AWARE OF THAT?
- NO. JOEL NEVER MENTIONED IT.
[elevator bell dings]
- ALL RIGHT, WELL, UH, GOODBYE.
- HANG ON.
LES TARNEY DIED THIS LAST MONDAY
BETWEEN 7:00 AND 8:00 P.M.
CAN YOU RECALL WHERE YOU WERE?
- I WAS AT HOME.
BARBECUING.
- WAS THERE ANYONE WITH YOU WHO COULD VERIFY THAT?
- I'M TRYING TO GO SEE HIM.
- OH, YOU WERE WITH DOM FABRIGAZI?
- HE BROUGHT THE SALMON.
- MR. FABRIGAZI, WHEN YOUR MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION BEGAN,
DID YOU HAVE ANY MEDICATION WITH YOU?
- THIS IS NOT CHICKEN KIEV.
YEAH. I HAD MY DIGOXIN CAPSULES.
- DID YOU TAKE ANY OF 'EM?
- TRIED. WHY?
- THE NIGHT OF YOUR HEART FAILURE,
A CAPSULE OF DIGOXIN WAS FOUND IN LES TARNEY'S HOME.
AND TARNEY DIDN'T HAVE HEART PROBLEMS.
WE WANT TO KNOW HOW IT GOT THERE.
- WHY DON'T YOU ASK HIM?
- 'CAUSE HE'S DEAD.
YOU SAY YOU TRIED TO GET AT YOUR DIGOXIN?
- YEAH, I COULDN'T GET THAT CHILDPROOF CAP OFF, YOU KNOW?
NEXT THING I KNOW, I'M FACE UP IN A HOSPITAL GURNEY.
- HENRY DEPIANO SAYS THAT WHEN YOUR HEART FAILED
YOU WERE AT HIS HOUSE.
YOU BROUGHT BY A COUPLE OF STEAKS TO GRILL, OR--?
- SALMON. SALMON STEAKS.
- DID HE CALL AN AMBULANCE?
- NO, HE PILED ME IN HIS CAR,
AND HE RAN EVERY RED LIGHT ON THE WAY HERE.
HE SAVED MY LIFE,
NOT WAITING AROUND FOR THEM DRAG-ASS PARAMEDICS.
- OH.
IT'S A SHAME THAT NOBODY WAS THERE
TO SAVE LES TARNEY'S LIFE.
UNLESS THERE WAS SOMEBODY THERE
WITH THE JOB OF KILLING HIM.
- I'M RETIRED, DETECTIVE.
- 'KAY.
WELL, BONA FORTUNA.
- OH, HEY, YOU TAKE A BRIBE, DETECTIVE?
I'LL GIVE YOU FIVE GRAND FOR A PLATE OF OSSOBUCO.
- TOLD YOU WE WEREN'T GONNA BE LONG.
- [sighs]
I SCREWED UP, HENRY. THEY'RE ON TO ME.
- YOUR HEART'S SCREWED UP. NOT YOU.
- I FEEL LIKE I SLID DOWN THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN, HENRY.
- I NEVER SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN YOU INVOLVED IN THIS.
YOU OUGHT TO BE ON A BEACH IN MIAMI.
- WHAT, AND BE LIKE ONE OF THEM OLD FARTS, HUH?
THAT DRIVES AROUND WITH THEIR TURN SIGNAL
BLINKING FOR MILES AND MILES?
COME ON, HENRY.
IF I KICK, WHO'S GONNA BRAG ABOUT YOU TO YOUR OLD MAN?
HUH?
ALL RIGHT. OKAY.
OKAY.
- YOU THINK I PLANTED THESE?
- HENRY.
- WHY WOULD I BUG YOUR OFFICE, JOEL?
- BECAUSE YOU DON'T TRUST US.
- WHY? BECAUSE MY LAST NAME ENDS WITH AN "O"?
LIKE GAMBINO?
OR MAYBE YOU'RE CONFUSING ME WITH MY FATHER.
- LOOK, JOEL, HENRY JUST GOT A LITTLE OVERZEALOUS.
- YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
MAYBE YOU WERE KEEPING TABS ON SHELLY'S GAMBLING PROBLEM.
I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T CARE.
- GAMBLING PROBLEM? TOLD ME THAT WAS OVER, SHELLY.
- IT IS. IT IS.
- THESE PEOPLE THAT I BROUGHT IN AS MY PARTNERS,
THEY'RE RETIRED.
THEY LIVE OFF OF THEIR INVESTMENTS.
- I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT A RACING FORM IN OVER TWO YEARS.
IT'S THE GOD'S HONEST TRUTH.
- THEY'RE MY FRIENDS, SHELLY.
I TOLD THEM THAT THIS IS A CLEAN INVESTMENT.
NOTHING ILLEGAL.
YOU GAVE ME YOUR WORD.
- I KNOW THAT.
I KNOW THAT.
- WHAT?
- I'VE DECIDED TO REFOCUS ON THE CLINIC.
- REFOCUS?
- SHELLY'S-- SHELLY'S BUYING ME OUT.
I'M MOVING ON.
- NO, YOU'RE NOT.
- I'M SET ON THIS, HENRY.
- WELL, GET UNSET.
WE HAVE A SIGNED DEAL IN PLACE.
- WITH A MORALS AND DISCLOSURES CLAUSE,
WHICH I'LL USE IF I HAVE TO.
[alarm chirps]
[grunting]
[alarm wailing]
- LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
- REMEMBER THE PICTURE IN MY OFFICE?
- YEAH, SECRETARIAT.
WHAT HAPPENED?
YOUR PARTNER STARTED TO TAKE SHORT ODDS
ON CLOSERS AT AQUEDUCT AGAIN?
- NO.
SHELLY STAYED AWAY.
WHAT HE DIDN'T DO WAS INFORM ME
HE'D BEEN CLAIMING HIS TRACK LOSSES
ON HIS PERSONAL INCOME FILING.
WHEN IT CAME TIME TO SECURE A LOAN FOR THE HOSPITAL,
THE LENDING INSTITUTIONS RAN THE OTHER WAY.
- SO SHELLY RAN TO HENRY DEPIANO,
HIS COLLEGE PAL.
- HIS PAL.
HE WAS BUGGING OUR OFFICES.
DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT.
I HAVE THE DEVICES. I'LL SHOW YOU.
THIS WAS A BEAT-DOWN FROM HENRY DEPIANO
BECAUSE I WANTED OUT.
- YOU'LL TESTIFY?
- I WANT PROTECTION.
YOU HAVE TO PROTECT ME.
THESE--THESE PEOPLE, THEY'RE--THEY'RE ANIMALS.
- HENRY DEPIANO.
HE HAD JOEL SILVERSTERN WORKED OVER TO GET HIM TO STAY.
- YEAH? WHY?
- IF SILVERSTERN BAILS,
HENRY'S INVESTORS MIGHT DO THE SAME.
THE BEAT-DOWN WAS A MESSAGE-- DON'T LEAVE.
- YEAH, BUT WHY THE MIXED SIGNALS?
WHAT IS THE POINT OF TAKING SILVERSTERN'S WALLET?
MAYBE SILVERSTERN REALLY WAS MUGGED.
- WELL, THEN WHY AREN'T THE MUGGERS
TOOLING AROUND IN HIS $120,000 MASERATI?
WHY TAKE 100 BUCKS IN CASH AND CREDIT CARDS
AND NOT THE CAR?
- THE PANIC BUTTON SCARED THEM OFF.
YOU'RE THINKING WITH YOUR HEART, ZACH.
- NO, I'M THINKING WITH DOM FABRIGAZI'S HEART.
THEY FOUND DIGOXIN AT THE MURDER.
DOM HAS A PRESCRIPTION FOR DIGOXIN.
- YEAH, ALONG WITH THE OTHER HALF MILLION
PEOPLE IN MANHATTAN WHO HAVE HEART DISEASE.
YOU KNOW, I WANT TO GET THIS GUY TOO,
BUT YOU GOT TO GIVE ME SOMETHING TO GO ON HERE.
- FABRIGAZI SUFFERS A CORONARY
THE SAME TIME LES TARNEY
BITES ON A SINGLE PIECE OF STEAK AND CHOKES TO DEATH?
- JURIES DON'T CONVICT ON COINCIDENCE.
- YEAH. WHAT IF KILLING TARNEY
WAS A STRAIN ON FABRIGAZI'S HEART?
SUPPOSE HE FELT SICK,
TOOK A PILL, INADVERTENTLY DROPPED ONE?
- OKAY. FABRIGAZI'S PRINTS ON FILE
DIDN'T MATCH THE PRINTS FOUND ON THE CAPSULE.
- LIKE THERE'S NOT A SILICON VALLEY GEEK OUT THERE,
UNEMPLOYED, WHO, YOU KNOW,
FOR THE SAKE OF COVERING HIS MORTGAGE
COULDN'T BE TALKED INTO HACKING INTO THE SYSTEM
AND FALSIFYING A SET OF PRINTS?
- THERE'S A COMPLETE ABSENCE OF PROBABLE CAUSE HERE.
A TEA-PARTY JUDGE WOULDN'T GRANT YOU PERMISSION
TO FINGERPRINT DOMINIC FABRIGAZI.
YOU WANT TO PLAY WHAT IF?
WHAT IF SILVERSTERN'S LYING HIS ASS OFF?
HUH?
WHAT IF HE'S LYING HIS ASS OFF?
HE COMES CRYING TO THE POLICE
ABOUT HIS HEAD BEING PUT IN A VISE, AND YOU BELIEVE HIM.
OF COURSE.
BECAUSE IT'S THE GARLIC EATERS.
THE GUYS WITH THE SHINY TIES.
THE WISE GUYS FROM...
- HEY, HEY, HOLD ON. HOLD ON.
NEITHER OF THESE DETECTIVES IS REMOTELY BIGOTED.
- HEAR, HEAR. SOME OF MY BEST COLLARS HAVE BEEN ITALIAN.
- NOT FUNNY, ZACH.
- IT'S OKAY, CAPTAIN. I KNOW HE'S JOKING.
I GET A LITTLE NUTS ABOUT THE WAY ITALIAN-AMERICANS
ARE PORTRAYED IN THIS CITY.
BUT I CAN'T ASK FOR A WARRANT BASED ON HEARSAY.
- CAN'T OR WON'T?
- HOW COULD YOUR DAD BE SUCH A GOOD GUY
AND YOU'RE SUCH A HARD-ASS?
- ROY, THOSE PEOPLE IN H.H.R.,
ARE THEY SLEEPING BETTER NOW
THAT AN INNOCENT WOMAN HAS JUMPED TO HER DEATH?
- HEY! HEY! HEY!
- WHOA. IT'S GOT TO BE DONE RIGHT, ZACH.
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT.
- GET HIM OUT OF HERE. GO!
- STOP.
BROUGHT YOU A DECAF.
- GEE, THIS FATHER THING KEEPS BUGGING ME.
- HONESTLY?
DELL GETTY'S A REAL BOIL,
BUT YOU SHOULD LET GO OF IT.
- NO, I MEANT HENRY'S FATHER.
THE WHOLE THING JUST, UH...
SOMEHOW FEELS FAMILIAR.
HERE WE GO.
A KEY WITNESS IN THE STATE'S MURDER-EXTORTION CASE
AGAINST ALLEGED CRIME BOSS
MAGGLIO DEPIANO WAS FOUND DEAD EARLY SUNDAY EVENING.
AN ANONYMOUS SOURCE REVEALED TO THE LEDGER
THAT DARIUS PREFONTAINE
ACCIDENTALLY CHOKED ON A FISH BONE.
- WELL, NO WONDER IT SOUNDS FAMILIAR.
THEY MURDERED THE WITNESS,
MADE IT LOOK LIKE AN ACCIDENTAL CHOKING.
WELL, THAT'S IT.
DOM CLEANED UP HENRY'S MESS BY KILLING TARNEY,
AND WHY USE ANYTHING BUT TRIED-AND-TRUE METHODS?
- LET'S GO TALK TO HENRY.
- WELL, HANG ON.
THIS IS ALL TERRIFICALLY REVEALING,
BUT IT STILL DOESN'T MOVE US OFF OF SQUARE ONE.
- TALKING ABOUT DOM'S PRINTS?
- WITHOUT THOSE, WE GET MORE OF THE SAME FROM DELL GETTY.
- I THINK I GOT THE PRINT THING DOWN.
- YOU WERE LUCKY TO CATCH ME.
JUST ABOUT TO GO HOME.
- HEY, HOW'S, UH...
HOW'S DOMINIC?
- THEY DID A DOUBLE ANGIOPLASTY.
THANK GOD THEY DIDN'T NEED TO CRACK HIM OPEN.
HE'S GONNA BE OKAY.
- GOOD, GOOD. YOU KNOW, HE'S GOING TO PRISON.
WE GOT HIM, HENRY.
- FOR WHAT?
- WELL, LES TARNEY WAS BLACKMAILING YOUR PARTNERS.
HE HAD THE OFFICES TAPPED.
WE FOUND HIS FINGERPRINTS ON THE BUGS.
- SO YOU HAD DOM MURDER TARNEY
AND STAGE IT TO LOOK LIKE AN ACCIDENT.
WELL, NEVERTHELESS, HEY, HOW ABOUT THOSE DOCTORS?
JEEZ. DID THEY SCREW THE POOCH OR WHAT?
- SCREWED THE POOCH?
- YEAH, YOU KNOW, UP-CODING.
- I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES
OR ANY BILLING IMPROPRIETIES.
- "I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES
OR ANY BILLING IMPROPRIETIES."
JEEZ, YOU WORK SO HARD AT IT.
MY GOLLY. YOU'RE SO AFRAID THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE SEEN
AS A THUG AND A LEG-BREAKER,
YOU'RE GONNA BE LOOKED UPON
AS THE LAWLESS BRUTE THAT YOUR OLD MAN TURNED OUT TO BE.
- I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
- OKAY, HENRY.
- HERE. THE DUTY NURSE ROUTINELY CHANGES THESE
WHEN THEY BECOME TOO SOILED.
FORENSICS CAN COMPARE THE PRINTS ON THIS
TO THE PRINTS ON A DIGOXIN CAPSULE
FOUND AT THE MURDER SCENE.
- UNFORTUNATELY, WE CAN'T PROVE THAT YOU ORDERED THE HIT,
AND DOM WON'T GIVE YOU UP.
HE'S, UH, OLD SCHOOL.
RED SAUCE. OMERTA. LIKE YOUR FATHER?
- DOM IS NOTHING LIKE MY FATHER.
- BECAUSE YOU HATE MAG DEPIANO?
- WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT IT?
- OH, I KNOW A LITTLE SOMETHING
ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE A FATHER WHO'S HARD TO LOVE.
BUT AS MUCH AS I MIGHT RESENT MINE,
HE HELPS PEOPLE.
YOURS IS A CRIME BOSS AND A KILLER,
AND YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING NOT TO BE HIM?
- YOU ARE DAMN RIGHT.
I SWORE TO MY MOTHER THAT THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN.
- SO YOU LET A COLLEGE BUDDY
SNOW YOU INTO MAKING A BAD INVESTMENT
IN RETURN FOR AN IMAGE OF LEGITIMACY.
- UH, IT'S NOT AN IMAGE.
I AM LEGITIMATE.
- SURE. BECAUSE DOM FABRIGAZI DID ALL THE DIRTY WORK.
- DON'T DO THAT.
DOM STUCK HIS NECK OUT FOR YOU.
MAG DEPIANO WOULDN'T DO THAT FOR HIS OWN MOTHER.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
DOM IS NOTHING LIKE YOUR FATHER.
- NEITHER AM I.
- BECAUSE THIS BROOKS BROTHERS SUIT
AND THIS INANE GOLD STETHOSCOPE GIVE YOU RESPECT?
IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK?
LIKE YOU'RE PRINCIPLED NOW?
YOU THINK YOU'VE BROKEN THE LINKAGE?
REALLY? - YEAH.
- ENOUGH TO SATISFY YOUR MOM?
- MY MOTHER IS DEAD.
- IT'S A SHAME SHE DIDN'T LIVE LONG ENOUGH
TO BOAST ABOUT HER SON OWNING A HOSPITAL.
- WELL, THAT WOULD HAVE MADE HER HAPPY.
- SHE COULD HAVE USED A LITTLE JOY.
SHE WORRIED MOST OF HER LIFE ABOUT YOU.
WONDERING WHEN YOU'D WALK IN YOUR FATHER'S FOOTSTEPS.
- SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT.
- MAYBE IT'S JUST AS WELL
SHE DIED BEFORE SHE COULD SEE HER SON
BECOME MAGGLIO DEPIANO.
- NO.
NO, I--I HATE HIM. REMEMBER THAT.
- YOU'VE HATED HIM FOR MAKING YOUR MOTHER SICK WITH WORRY.
SHE KEPT SECRETS, LOOKED THE OTHER WAY,
BURIED HER SUSPICIONS WHILE HE BURIED BODIES,
AND IT ATE HER UP INSIDE.
AND YOU'VE HATED HIM FOR HER CANCER,
BUT NOT FOR WHO HE IS.
'CAUSE THAT'S WHO YOU ARE, HENRY.
AT LEAST...
THAT'S WHO YOU'VE BEEN.
YOU KNOW, IF YOUR FATHER KNEW WHAT YOU DID THIS LAST WEEK
AND HOW YOU COULD GET AWAY WITH IT,
YOU'D BE THE APPLE OF HIS EYE.
- DOM DOESN'T DO TIME.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED WITH TARNEY,
BUT DOM DOESN'T DO TIME.
I WANT YOUR WORD.
- IT'S NO GOOD. WE DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY.
- I WANT YOUR WORD.
- YOU HAVE IT.
HOW'D YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THE BLACKMAILING?
- SHELLY.
- SO YOU PAID A VISIT TO TARNEY'S.
- I WENT TO SCARE HIM OUT OF SQUEEZING US.
HE WAS SITTING DOWN TO EAT WHEN WE GOT THERE.
- WE?
YOU AND DOMINIC FABRIGAZI?
- I TOOK DOM ALONG FOR SHOW.
AND TARNEY WOULDN'T LISTEN TO US.
I ASKED HIM TO KNOCK DOWN THE PRICE,
AND HE LAUGHED AT US.
AND I SNAPPED.
TARNEY WENT TO OPEN THE WINE.
I GRABBED HIM FROM BEHIND.
DOM, HE TRIED TO STOP ME.
HE STARTED PANTING, STUMBLING.
UH, AND I SCREAMED AT HIM, "GET BACK INTO THE CAR."
- WHILE YOU FINISHED OFF TARNEY.
- YEAH.
- THEN WHAT?
- WENT BACK IN AND CLEANED IT UP.
I MADE IT LOOK LIKE TARNEY HAD CHOKED.
- WHERE'D YOU LEARN THAT TRICK, HENRY?
- FROM MAGGLIO DEPIANO.
MY FATHER.
- YOU THINK THEY TEACH CHOKE HOLDS AT DARTMOUTH?
- THE GUILLOTINE.
- SO HENRY LIED ABOUT THE WHOLE THING.
YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT?
- SOMEBODY HAD TO ANSWER FOR THE MURDER OF A BLACKMAILER.
WHO?
A MOBSTER WITH A BAD HEART BUT A CAPACITY FOR GOOD,
OR A KID WHO'D NEVER KNOWN THE MEANING OF THE WORD "GOOD"?
- UNTIL NOW.
- HOW'D YOU GET TO HENRY DEPIANO?
- MISLED HIM INTO BELIEVING
THAT WE HAD DOMINIC FABRIGAZI'S FINGERPRINTS.
- PERFECTLY WITHIN THE GUIDELINES.
- AND I PROMISED HENRY THAT DOM WOULDN'T DO TIME.
- YOU DID?
WHO DIED AND MADE YOU DISTRICT ATTORNEY?
- JULIA HIKEN.
- DEPIANO.
WE JUST GOT A CALL FROM THE HOSPITAL.
DOMINIC FABRIGAZI'S BEEN RELEASED,
AND I WILL PERSONALLY MAKE SURE HE'S BROUGHT UP ON CHARGES.
