"'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.'" "68, East 74th." "Here you go." "I need some photo ID." "You can have it back when you return the plans." "Cooper Union." "My daughter might apply." "You like it?" "Do you have a photocopier?" "12th floor, five cents a page." "You need to have these back by closing time." "Thanks, pal." "Don't be stupid." "Uh-uh-uh." "Mikey!" "Jake." " Oh, yeah, yeah." "What's up, man?" " I'm over this way." "I'll take that from you." "Hey, man, um, you got a fiver?" "All I got's Canadian." "You know, for him." "Forget that, man." "Here you go." "Come on." "Oh!" "Oh, sorry!" "It's my fault." " It's all right." " You OK?" " Yeah, sure." " Sorry." "Mr Morris, Mr Crane." " You OK, baby?" " Yeah." " Hey, give me the wig." " Hi, partner." " You up for some fun?" " All the time." "Welcome to New York City." "Put 'em on." "Whoo!" "This is all right, man." "Didn't I tell you I'd take care of you?" " Dress for success, yeah?" " Yeah." "OK, on to work." "Here you go, Mr Morris." "If you would just sign where I circled here..." "It's space number three, the grey Cadillac." "Let me get that for you, sir." "A chimp could take better pictures than Ansel Adams with this." " I'll take it." " Credit card and driver's licence?" "Still under their radar." "Time to leave New York, partner." "Don't worry, they're not gonna be home until tomorrow!" "Isn't this better than the dorm, huh?" " Come on." "My old room's here." " Where you taking me?" "Oh, my God!" " Oh, my God!" " Hey!" "Hey, take it easy, it's cool." "Just take it easy." " Take it easy." " No!" "It's alr..." " This isn't good, man." " Hey, take it easy!" " What's the problem?" " No!" "No!" "No!" " Please!" " Oh, God!" "Oh, God!" "Oh, God!" "Let's go!" "Sergeant Finley?" "I'm Detective Eames, this is Detective Goren, Major Case." "Tell us what you have here." "Perps broke into this apartment over the weekend, dug through the basement to a jewellery store." "We've got one body in the safe room." "One of the perps, looks like." "We got two bodies in the apartment here." "College kids, boy and a girl." "Wrong place, wrong time." " Did they live here?" " No, the girl's parents." "They're inside." "Which crime scene do you wanna see first, the apartment or the store?" "The parents first." "When did you get this letter?" "It came in the mail Monday." "Sweepstakes winner." "Weekend in Atlantic City." "Limousine, free accommodations, all expenses..." "This phone number here, did you call it?" "Er, yes." "To confirm." "Er, a girl answered." "She wished us luck at the casino." " Damn them." " Your daughter lived with you?" "No, no." "Er..." "Sophie was in a dorm at Columbia." "She wanted to be independent." "We..." "We were so worried for her when she moved out." "Mr and Mrs Kersten, I can't tell you how sorry we are for what happened, but we will find the people who did this." "Your sergeant said they were professionals, the chances of you catching them..." "Mr Kersten," "I give you my word, we'll catch them." "It's a nice thought, but how can you promise that?" "You don't get to do this for a bunch of rocks." "Over there were the Russians, 127 carats, D and E, white, flawless." "There, it was Canadian pieces, 78 carats." "Not the best quality." "For earrings." "And here, uncut stones I brought back from London two weeks ago." "One piece was 22 carats." " Altogether 300, 350?" " Maybe." "I cannot be sure." "Say 300 million." "Beef it up later for the insurance." " Get a shot of his right hand." " Genius who tapped into the security had to be working with at least two computers with custom software." " Here's your genius." " How do you figure?" "Fragments from the copper wiring are embedded in the tips of his gloves." "The question is, what'd he do to get himself shot?" " His buddies got greedy, or he did." " No, too personal for that." " Four wounds in his skull." " Overkill." " Uh-huh." "Did you notice his shoes?" " Brand new." "Like the rest of his clothes." "Pockets are still sewn shut." "300 million?" "You can't move that much merchandise overnight." "We got a week, if they're still in the city." "We sent a description to every jurisdiction in Tri-State." "It should be in NCIC by end of business." "And in case they have heavy hitters backing them," " we brought OCCB into the loop." " Keep them two steps behind you." "Get a workup on every known ice crew around." "An established crew wouldn't leave one of their own behind." "Kid was an amateur." "Might have squawked." "You wait, deal with that elsewhere, with one bullet." "Whoever ran this was impulsive." "Organised but impulsive." "I realise how unstimulating police procedure can be for a guy like you, and I say this with all the respect due..." "Touch all the bases." "What else?" "They would've needed blueprints." "We'll check with Buildings, and we ran down the limo company that took the Kerstens to Atlantic City." " We're waiting to hear." " Nice." "Give me a status at 2:00." "East 74th." "Here it is." "Plans issued two weeks ago to Anna Hutchinson." " Did you get any ID?" " Student ID from Cooper Union." " Oh, yeah, I remember her." " What did she look like?" "Er, good-looking young woman, slim, dark hair, shoulder length, glasses, black rims." "You know, the student look." "What was her demeanour like, the way she spoke?" "Friendly or not?" "Not." "An honest-to-goodness ice queen." "We'll need you to come down later to talk to our sketch artist." "Thanks." "Using a girl?" "Unusual for a burglary crew." "Probably the boss's girlfriend." " Nobody else would be trusted." " Eames." "Put him through." "Yes, this is Detective Eames." "That's right." "I'll need the card number." "Get back to me, please." "Limo company." "The car was phone-ordered with a credit card, name of Justin Crane." "I used it to pay for groceries at D'Agostino's." "I was getting into my car to go to Vermont when some jogger bumped into me." "Must've picked my pocket." " What's this jogger look like?" " Long blond hair, sunglasses." " I didn't get a good look at him." " Maybe your friend did." "My friend?" "The ski report on the radio said it was bright and sunny in Vermont." "For someone who was outside all weekend, you look as pale as I do." "Staying indoors by yourself wouldn't have been fun, so...can we talk to your friend?" "Long blond hair." "Right." "We'd still like you to talk to our sketch artist." "We'll give you a call." "Thank you." "She couldn't do any better than her boyfriend." "Cooper Union?" "No Anna Hutchinson on their student roster." "Charges on Crane's credit card since it was stolen." "The thief's been living it up." "Friday, 4,200 at Tourneau Watch, 2,200 at Prada..." "John Doe's new clothes." "Spent 2,000 on clothes for a jewellery heist." "New job, new clothes." "Saturday, 300 at a camera store." "More charges Sunday, today." "You wanna hit these places?" "Does it bother you the same people who just jacked 300 million are maxing out a stolen credit card?" "Once a thief..." "You said yourself, they're impulsive." "OK." "If it doesn't bother you..." "That was good, baby." "What did I tell you?" "Cut the attitude, huh?" "I got you off coke, I'll get you off those." "It's good, partner." " Now what?" " Nothing." "I want a steak." "We don't have any." "Well, the Palm's just two blocks away, honey." "I'm sore, I can't walk." "Well, if you love me, you can walk." "Yes, Mr Crane." "I remember this sale." "He spent two minutes looking at the camera and bang, sold." " What did he look like?" " Medium height, red hair, short, moustache, tinted aviator glasses." " He show you a driver's licence?" " We ask for one with every purchase." " Was anybody with him?" " No." " Did he know about cameras?" " He knew what he wanted, one with good low-light resolution." " What did that tell you?" " Low light?" "Um, boudoir photos." "90% of these instant cameras, people buy them for intimate portraiture." " Excuse me." " Excuse me a second." "We got a pop on the credit card." "The 3-6 has a suspect in custody." "Rise and shine, Sharif." "He was using the credit card?" " Yeah." "Busted buying MetroCards." " Where'd you get the card, Sharif?" " A white dude gave it to me." " When?" "On Saturday outside the camera store down on 23rd." " What'd he look like?" " Red like an apple, hair, lip bush." " And he just gave it to you?" " Yeah." "He just said, "Help yourself."" "Then he rode off in his sleigh?" " No, just his big grey Caddy." " Ho, ho, ho." "That's him." "This is the one from the kid, this from the camera salesman." "See a family resemblance?" "These two could be him." "The witnesses looked at mug books," " but nobody jumped out at them." " The Caddy?" "Kid remembered numbers from the plate." " What am I looking at?" " The stiff from the crime scene." "It's home-made." "It could be a prison tattoo." "How come his prints aren't in the system?" "How'd my luggage end up in Amarillo?" "Matching MOs?" "Doesn't fit anyone in the database." "Try a bigger database." "Look, our boy is an extrovert." "He's brazen, self-confident, charismatic." "He imposes his girlfriend on the gang and he's holding them together, even after killing one of them." "We should look at armoured-car heists, bank jobs, anything with public displays of fire power." "OK, we wasted time chasing down this credit card." "Let's make up for it." "We got the jewellery store's surveillance tapes." "Our perps could be on there casing the premises." "Any volunteers?" " The Ice Queen?" " You notice anything unusual?" "Not really." "It's just that she's putting lipstick on her eyeball." "She's taking a picture of the safe." "Am I missing something?" "I just like to watch." "I like to listen." "I'm meeting a snitch down at the Coronet." "If you have 300 million in hot stones, who do you go to?" "Whoever gives the best price." "Maybe you get 30 cents on the dollar." "100 million." "It's still a nice piece of change." " Who, the Russians?" " They don't need them." "They are choking on diamonds from the Kremlin vaults." "Maybe the Chinese." "This is hand-tooled, not machined." "This X-brace was left welded to the safe." "I might know a man in Brooklyn." " It's not one of mine." " Did you make it?" "Your partner is deaf?" "Maybe you are." "She asked a yes-or-no question." " Well, then, the answer is no." " Mr De Santis, our crime lab can match the unique marks on this piece to the characteristics on the tools you used to make it." "We'd have to confiscate your equipment." "Might take months to get it back." "We'll take that as a yes." "Who ordered it?" "If I never saw him again, it'd be too soon." " His name?" " I don't know." "Er, Serbian, Croatian." "A bald guy." " Is there anything else?" " Yes." "You're closing early today." "You got to think about this." "Here we are, 15 years old, selling boomboxes to one of Big Paulie's fences and Danny's just...he's playing him." "I'm telling you, your brother Danny, rest his soul, had big ones." "Excuse me." "You know, I always had a thing for Gia, but never, out of respect for Danny..." "Well, I admire your discipline." "She mentioned you had a piece of business." " Not here, Jimmy." " No." "Sure." "How big a piece?" "100 million big." "INS sent these over." "Every man, woman and child who entered the country in the last year with a Balkan passport." "And that's for the year before this." "Goren." "That's right." "What lot?" "Stay away from it, we're on our way." "Grey Caddy turned up." "Car's a rental!" "We're waiting for an ID on the driver." "Pop the trunk." "James Randazzo." "It's a Bensonhurst address." "Randazzo." "A Jimmy Randazzo is a soldier for the Masucci family." "All that glitters." "About 40 carats worth." "Let's round up the usual Masuccis." "Get a full court press on the Masuccis." "Our informants have been telling us the Randazzos have been on the outs with the Masuccis for months." " A dispute over liquor distribution." " Now the dispute's over diamonds." "This is not a mob thing." "It's a sucker's game, Captain." " This guy's just buying time." " He's paying a big premium." "Must've been a million bucks of stones in Randazzo's pocket." "A lot of money just to send up some smoke." "Goren, it's for you." " Friend of yours?" " I sure hope so." "Hey!" "I showed Randazzo's diamonds to our jeweller." "They were grade F." "Slightly flawed, grey colour, the worst rocks of the bunch." "You were right, the Masucci angle's a lot of smoke." "This guy, bad enough he shoots two witnesses, now he throws a body in a trunk to throw us off his trail." "Put yourself in his place." "He wants a $100 million payday." " Don't equivocate." "He's a bad guy." " Bad guys do what good guys dream." "I got a hit on our John Doe." " I sent his prints up to Canada." " Michael Carson." "That tattoo he had?" "Prison tattoo." "Canadian prison." "Archambault up in Montreal." "Spent two years in cell-block D for possession with intent." "The new clothes." "Shooter didn't want his old clothes traced." " How..." " The guy with the body art?" "He's got biker friends up there." "Carson's parole officer hasn't seen him since a week ago last Thursday." "Meaning he came down here Thursday night or Friday." "He'd avoid going through customs at the airport." "That leaves the train, where inspections are more lax." "He would've arrived on the train from Montreal last Thursday or Friday, with luggage, computer equipment, that sort of thing." "Yeah, I seen this boy Friday afternoon." "Helped him with his bags, black canvas bags." "Would've been a good tipper, but he had a friend with him." " He was travelling with somebody?" " No, somebody met him." " Did you catch a name?" " Er, Jake." " Pretty sure it was Jake." " Thank you." "There he is." "Jacob Nathan." "Forgery, possession of stolen goods, larceny." "And tight with his money, too." " Where are we?" " Nothing on his last known." " Hasn't lived there for two years." " Yes, ma'am." "His ex is looking for him." "He owes her child support." "Bail app from six years ago." "His mother put up the bond." " There's an address." " Let me see." " You have her Social there?" " Yeah." "Feebs are taking care of Interpol notification." "Give me a status in an hour." "Mother Nathan, deceased seven months ago." "Poor guy's an orphan." "Somebody forgot to tell Con Ed." "Power bill's paid up and current." "Come on, move!" "Go!" "Go!" "Clear!" "Clear!" " Check the trash rooms, dumpsters." " Yes, sir." "Let's go, guys." "Move it!" " Laminating machine." " Forger's friend." " Nathan must've left it." " Serial number's still on." "We'll trace it to the store." "I can't find it, man!" "I looked everywhere!" "I'm a jerk!" "I must've left it behind!" " Can't you get another one?" " I need it to make the passports!" "'Don't even think about it." "Buy another!" "'" "I'm not spending another $500 on something I already bought." "Listen to me, you cheap bastard." "Go anywhere near that place, I'll put a bullet in your skull." "You've got a quarter share of 100 million coming." "You can front $500!" "When are we gonna see our dough?" "I gotta get outta here." "I am working on the problem." "You work on yours." "Hello?" " Can I help you?" " I called about the laminator." " Name's Jake." " Oh, yeah." "I got it in the back." "It's 549." "I bought one here a month ago for 500." "Now it's 549." "Think about it." "How you doing there, Jake?" "Death penalty?" "What the hell for?" "Do I need to explain the felony murder statute to your client?" " I didn't kill anybody." " The girl and her boyfriend," " Michael Carson, Jimmy Randazzo." " That wasn't me." " Who the hell is Jimmy Randazzo?" " Funny thing, the law." "Right hand commits the murder, left hand pays for it." "Er, how can my client help himself here?" "Names and addresses, I take the death penalty off the table." "Life without parole?" "That's pretty steep." "He's got no record of violence." "He does now." "And the offer's not gonna hold." "We found him, we'll find the others, with or without his help." "Life, death..." "You choose." "It's Atwood, it's..." "It's Carl Atwood." "The other guy I only know as Ziv." "But he's the main guy, Atwood." "He's got the goods." " Where can we find him?" " l-l don't know." "It's..." "He lives in the Upper East Side with his girlfriend." "Her name is Gia, something Italian." "I got a cellphone number on him." "The number." "Atwood and the girl, they been together long?" "Yeah, I think so." "They got some act, those two." "Carl Atwood, 38, priors for armed robbery, assault, burglary." "Convictions in New York State, Pennsylvania, Florida and Montreal." " Archambault prison?" " 18 months for attempted hijack." " Same time frame as Carson." " Atwood was sent home six months ago." " Thank you, Canada." "The girl?" " Nothing in the file." " Cell number's cribbed." " Can we use it to get Atwood?" "Phone company can triangulate a call to the phone." "We'll need a warrant." "I'll handle it." "Hey." "It's me." "Passports are done." " OK." " 'Yeah, man, they look good." "'So, when's the deal going down?" "'" "Cell M-67, East Side, north of 57th." "East Side, north of 57th." "'I said I'd page you." "Why you calling?" "'" "I'm watching Oprah and eating Cheetos all day, man." " I need to know how much longer." " 'A couple of days.'" " East 62nd, 100 block." " East 62nd, Park and Lex." " Now get off the phone." " 'W-W-Wait!" "Um..." "'I need to know what birth date to put on her passport.'" "I thought you said they were done." "Well, I mean..." "I need to know what, what birth date." " 136 East 62nd." " 136 East 62nd." "Figure it out." " These two, where do they live?" " Er, 12H." "The place is empty." "Check the stairwell and basement." " Stay here!" " OK." "Don't move!" "Up against the wall!" "He left you in the lurch, Gia." "He left you to take the rap for four murders." "That's a needle in your arm." "You're letting him run?" "You didn't run...did you?" "When he was in prison up in Montreal." "In prison with Michael Carson." " The autopsies just came in." " Thanks." "Sophie Kersten." "The daughter of the people who lived in the apartment. 19 years old." "Your boyfriend put a bullet in her brain." "This is...her boyfriend." "We think he was shot while trying to protect her." "That's what boyfriends are supposed to do." "Michael Carson." "The medical examiner found evidence of frequent anal sex." "This is Atwood's preferred sexual act." "Isn't it?" "It's his way of dominating his partner." "Have you been tested for AIDS?" "Why should I?" "Michael Carson was HIV-positive." "According to this, for at least a year, during the time he and Atwood were having relations." "It's not true." "Page four." "Would you like to get tested?" "You are aware they had a sexual relationship?" "Your boyfriend was in prison a relatively short time, but he couldn't control his sexual needs." "You blamed yourself, didn't you?" "That you couldn't hold on to his loyalty and desire for 18 months." "If I'm wrong in my evaluation, Ms DeLuca, please tell me." "He's betrayed you before, hasn't he?" "But he always came back." "And you told yourself it was because you're the one that he loves." "But he's never told you that he loved you, has he?" "Not in a way that would make you believe him." "And he makes demands on you." "Demands during lovemaking, demands that leave you unsatisfied." "You always submit, which, for that reason, he trusts you completely." "You submit because you hope to earn his love...and loyalty." "Those hopes can only remain unfulfilled because Carl Atwood is a narcissist." "He's incapable of loving you or anyone else." "He seeks out partners to satisfy his needs." "Ms DeLuca, I have to be honest with you, there's virtually no chance that you're not infected." "People with AIDS rarely survive long prison sentences." "The treatments in a maximum-security prison are limited." "But if you cooperate with us, we can take steps to improve your long-term outlook." "It's..." "You have given him everything... and... this is how he repaid you." "This is Ms DeLuca's attorney." "I wanna talk to her alone." " AIDS, tough break." " Tougher if it was true." "Do you think she believed it?" "We better come up with another way of finding Atwood." "We've searched the apartment, no leads to him or the merchandise." " What about the Serbian?" " Casten Zivkovic." "Overstayed his visa, like a million others we can't find." "Release his and Atwood's picture to the media." "Put some pressure on." "We got her." "That's her blink." "You get any trouble, you call me." "Gia, you're not out of the woods yet!" " You released her?" " We made a deal with her." "She gives us Atwood and the diamonds." "She gets minimum security with full medical treatment." "What's wrong with her?" "Goren convinced her Atwood gave her AIDS." "That's how we flipped her." " You have her under surveillance?" " No." "She'll contact us." "It was the only way she would cooperate." "She won't run, Miss Lewin." "Do you trust his judgment?" "On this, yes, I do." "Should I trust yours?" "54th, between Sixth and Seventh." "I told you, they didn't plant nothing on me." "Shut up!" "You're stupid enough to let them put a signal on you." "Then, what are they waiting for?" "Baby, trust me!" "They let you go, you bitch!" "What did you do, get on your knees and give them a hummer, huh?" "I told them what they wanted to hear." "It doesn't matter, it got me here with you!" "The police, they set you up." "They tried!" "They tried to mess with my head!" "They told me that Carson's got AIDS and that you got the bug from him and that you gave it to me." "They think I bought it but I didn't." "I should get out now." "I should leave you right here and get out." "Don't be like that, baby!" "No!" "Whatever you want, I'll do it." "Come here." "You say you don't believe them?" "Prove it." "Come on, baby." "Come on." "Yeah?" "They'll be here in 15 minutes." "Banco Nationale." "It's got to be more money than that whole country's worth." "Your turn." "The furthest south I've ever been is Cancun." "Found some damn lizards in my hotel room." "Maid said they were good luck." "Must've worked." "Cos if this isn't luck..." "I don't know what is." "I may not spend all this money in my lifetime but I'm gonna tr-..." "Drop the gun and the bag." "Drop it!" "You're under arrest, Atwood." " You have the right to remain..." " Yeah, yeah!" "You stupid bitch!" "We're both dead anyway." "You killed us." "Think again, Gia." "You got a long life ahead of you." "I lied." "Sorry." "Let's go." "Once she got her hands on this, why she didn't run..." "It wasn't about that, it was about him." "Men come and go, but diamonds..." "Diamonds don't keep you warm at night."
