"Forgot which side he was fighting for." "Then one night, in 1996, he didn't check in." "They found his body in the East River two days after my eighth birthday." "Some said his death was a tragedy." "Others said he got exactly what he deserved." "And all my life, I hated him for it." "For leaving us, for going bad, and... all my life, I was trying to cover up this stain."

"You're right, I don't want to hear it." " It's been 20 years, Raim." " No, that how long it's been?" "At some point, you're gonna have to catch the man a break." "Make peace." "I'll do that."

"Labor Day, 1999, Eddie O'Neal asked if you were a boy or a girl." " You kicked his ass." " Seriously?" " You're playing that card?" " Mm-hmm." "Did you really think I'd be okay with this?" "Do you really think this was my idea?" "I tried to tell him." "Hey." "Did you know that there was a ham radio in the garage?" "I did." "Oh, I used to love these things when I was a kid, you know?" "Before the Internet or cell phones." "I mean, you could talk to anyone in the world with one of these things." "I'm gonna get this thing working, and then you and Gordo..." "Daniel stop." "The ham's in the garage because I want it in the garage." "It was my father's." "Gordo, you understand?" "I understand there's cake and I like cake and I really would like to like that cake..."

"Not that there's anything we can do about it." "Can I ask you a question?" "Shoot." "You remember any talk back in the day about my dad arranging a sting the night he got killed?" "Naw, that's news to me." "I was thinking about running down some of the guys" " from his old operation." " Why?" "This was your idea." "Just looking for a little closure of my own." "And you want from me..." "You want names." "First thing's first." "Frank, this is Chester, he's your hookup." "This is Rainman, he'll have eyes on you in the apartment." "Chester's gonna be holding the product here." "It's your basic auto car garage bushwack... one entrance, one exit."

"You want drama?" "You have the bases loaded... 2 outs." "Top of the tenth inning, and a 3-2 count on Boggs." "What's it say in the write-up?" "Write-up doesn't say anything." "'Cause everything I had to say..." " it's in the write-up." " He walked 'em!" "He walked 'em!" "That's what I'm talkin' about, right?" "The Yankees lead 7-6." "You left the force in 2002." "Yes, I did." "You'd racked up enough misconducts to be let go for cause, but they let you leave quiet." "Keep your pension." "Someone gave you the easy way out, and I'm just curious why." "Maybe it's 'cause I'm blessed." "I agree." "Attempted rape, perversion of a minor, all just swept away." "Tell me, how do your kids feel about Daddy's time on the job?" "Don't do this, Detective." "Because I had to read in every paper in New York what a bad guy my father was." "Starting the day after he was shot." "Yo, we picking up Little Jay here?" "Yup." "Look, I am just trying to find out the truth." "Was my father dirty?" "Not a clue." "Was there a sting arranged" " the night he was killed?" " No." "Well, why did somebody tell me there was a sting" " that night if there wasn't?" " I'm just not going there." "Who are you protecting?" "Stan Moraino?" "Deputy Chief Moraino." "I mean, he's the one who ran the operation, right?" "He's the one who protected you." "He provided you with this cush job for what?" " For your silence?" " Man, you do not want to be" " messing with these people." " Why would someone assume there was a sting if there wasn't?" "Maybe because that's what someone was told." "Told?" "You mean led to believe." "My father was told there was a sting." "I never said anything about your father." "There wasn't a sting." "Was there?" "Sullivan... hey, hey, hey." "Ah!" "Come on, man!" "It was a setup." "Take it easy, all right?" "Somebody want to tell me what's going on here?" "I'll tell you what's up." "You're a cop." "Raimy, we're meeting my parents in an hour." "Go to the radio, tell my dad it's a setup." "Don't trust Chester Lee, don't trust Stan Moraino, okay?" "Can you do that?" "Can you tell him that, Daniel?" "Daniel?" "Daniel!" "Rainman, talk to me." "He's at the shipyard." "All right." "Get your ass over here." "This is messed up, bro." "Hey, Raim." "Raim?" "WQ2YV." "WQ2YV, come in!" "Dad, are you there?" "I'm a cop?" "If I'm a cop, what does that make you, huh?" " Are you really that dumb?" " Shut up!" "Okay, okay, look, if I was a cop, if I was, you think it's gonna end like this with you just shooting me right here?" "You don't think that Little Jay's gonna come at you?" "Huh?" "You don't think other cops are gonna come at you, Ricky?" "Other cops?" "Like the ones working for Little Jay?" "Or the ones that sold you out?" "Dad, come in!" "Dad, are you there?" "I let you into my house, man!" "My daughter's christening." "Trust me, man." "This... this is good for you." "You were shot first outside berth 34." "This is the easy way out." "Run with me." "Come on, Ricky, it doesn't need to end like this." " What?" " Run with me." " There she is!" " There she is." "Can you believe my little girl's a cop?" "Huh?" "Hey, are you okay?" "Hey, whoa, whoa." "Raim, slow down." "Can you feel it?" "Everything's different." "My father wasn't murdered." "Okay, uh... wait, what?" "You don't remember?" "I remember the accident." "Uh... your dad died in a car accident five years ago." "Just after his 43rd birthday." "Tell me you remember that, kiddo." "I..." "I remember." "I remember it both ways." "Life when he was murdered, and life... life when he wasn't." "Everything's changed, Gordo." "You're one lucky guy, Frank." "Needless to say, you're blown, pal." "And they're rolling up the whole operation." "What happened out there?" "It's hard to say." "Hey." "Hey." "Come here." "Give your dad a hug." "I love you." "You did good, kiddo." "Can you hold the elevator, please?" "Oh, Cairone, where's the fire?" "Oh, I'm slammed." "I'm just orienting a new RN with her head up her..." "Whatever." "And I heard about Frank." "Yeah." "He... he's good." "You know, a little out of it, but, you know?" "He'll live, right?" "Yeah." " Here, let me take those." " Oh, no, no." "Yes, stop, we're going to three anyway, come on." "Totally owe you codeine." "I'm joking." "Not joking." "Daddy was happy to see you." "Mm-hmm." "Nurse's station." "It's great, you know, we've got a good place." "And, um..." "I am so, so sorry." "I'm late." "Hi, I'm Raimy." "I'm truly so excited to be meeting both of you." "Um, can we talk this way?" " Yeah." " Yeah." " Are you angry with me?" " What?" "Because, you know, all that other stuff... there's an explanation, it's..." " I'm sorry if I scared you..." " Um, miss, miss." "Um, I think there's been a misunderstanding." "Miss?" "Yeah, look, I think you may be mistaken." "Or confused." "You and I don't know each other." "Okay?" "Stop!" "Daniel." "Your name is Daniel Lawrence, we live together in Bayside, Queens." " Say you know who I am." " How do you know my name?" "I'm your girlfriend!" "My mother is Julie Sullivan." "She was your nurse when you got into a car accident two years ago... she introduced us." "Your arm went through the window." "Tell me your arm went through the window" " in a car crash a couple years ago!" " Okay." "Okay." "I don't know your mother, okay?" "I've never been to Queens and I don't know you." "I'm sorry." "Daniel." "The person you've dialed is unavailable." "Please leave your message after the tone." "Mom?" "Why is your voicemail all messed up?" "You have to call me right now." "I'm coming over." "Detective Sullivan." "Did he say what it's about?" "No, fine, I..." "Just give me 20 minutes." "Go over this, okay?" "I'll..." "All right, I'll talk to you later." "Okay, look, uh... there's no easy way to say this." "We've ID'd the remains from the marsh." "Susie Cairone." "The nurse missing from '96, we talked about this." "No, I needed to talk to you in person about this." " We spoke this afternoon." " Forensics came back an hour ago." "I'm sorry, Raimy, it's your mom." "What?" "Look, I know it's cold comfort after 20 years." "But at least we found her." "Go home." "Okay?" " How?" " Go home." "You understand me?" "That's an order." "Nightingale can wait till tomorrow." "The Nightingale hasn't killed in 20 years." "I'm gonna get you some water." "Well, have you looked there?" "No, I... no, I know you're doing everything you can." "I just... if you get any leads, if you hear anything," "Satch, just call me, okay?" "That's all I'm asking you." "Daddy!" "Hey, I got to call you back." "Come here." "Come here, baby." "Hey..." "Don't cry." "Don't cry, come here." "Come here, let me see you." "Hey, hey." "Don't... don't cry." "Okay?"
