"Hope you brought me some bug spray." "How come people don't get killed in high-end spas or nice handbag stores?" "What fun would that be?" "Oh, my God." "She looks about 18." "Well, how'd she end up here?" "Probably not voluntarily, judging by the bruising and scrapes." "She's posed." "Looks like her neck's broken." "I don't see a wallet or a purse anywhere." "Well, she's all dressed up." "Yeah, dressed to kill." "Or be killed." "I'm gonna look around." "Yeah." "Can I get a couple of unis to do an area search up that way?" "You two, start an area search." "WOMAN:" "Got it!" "MAN:" "Yes, sir!" "(flies buzzing)" "Baez!" "We got another one." "Look." "Boss, we got another one." "Get your guys to bring the tape." "OFFICER:" "Guys, over here!" "(flies buzzing)" "Hey, don't let 'em come any closer!" "What is it?" "My God." "It's a killing field." "Jamie." "Hey." "Thank God you're here." "Why?" "What's up?" "He's in bad shape." "He's got a couple broken ribs, collapsed lung, and there's bleeding into his brain." "Who?" "They didn't tell you?" "Sergeant just said a prisoner was asking for Eddie." "Oh, my God." "It's my dad." "On first inspection, it looks like the same manner of death for all three-- blunt force trauma to the head." "The neck bruising is consistent with being strangled." "Any ideas when they might have been killed?" "The first one was no more than 12 hours ago." "The other two, I'm guessing they've been here for weeks, maybe even months." "Thanks." "Let's go." "WOMAN:" "Detective Reagan." "Are we looking at a serial killer here, Detective?" "I cannot confirm or deny that." "You're starting to sound like the commissioner." "Are we looking at a serial killer or not?" "What we're looking at is a coward who gets off on killing innocent young women." "Okay, any leads?" "Yeah, we have a lead." "If he was smart, he'd turn himself in." "Now." "But, Detective..." "♪ 50 feet and we're out of here." "Commissioner, can we please confirm the commencement date?" "We'll get back to you on that." "Thank you." "Erin and the mayor at 9:00." "Good evening." "Hi." "FRANK:" "Mr. Mayor." "Frank." "The mayor is telling me" "I should put my application in for judgeship." "Really?" "Well, she's smart, she's fair, experienced." "And she looks good in a black robe." "(Erin and Poole laugh)" "And she'll bring diversity to the bench as it's currently formed." "Well, I'd still need approval from your advisory committee." "Well, I have some pull there." "ERIN:" "And final approval from the mayor?" "Erin, I hear he's a fan." "Excuse me, Mr. Mayor." "She who hesitates is lost." "Look before you leap." "WOMAN:" "Commissioner." "Katherine Tucker." "Hello." "A candidate who will be losing to me in November." "That will become New York City's first female mayor." "Can I have a word?" "How's your investigation into my husband going?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "You're going to pretend that you don't know what's going on inside your own department?" "That'd be a first." "Then it's a first, 'cause it's the truth." "When I sat on the city council," "I watched you tear them to pieces any time they tried to challenge your leadership, and now I'm supposed to believe that your right hand doesn't know what your left is doing?" "I don't care what you believe." "But I will look into it." "And I'm telling you that if it's true, when I'm mayor, you can kiss your job good-bye." "Can I take it to dinner and a movie first?" "You think this is funny." "Yeah, kind of." "You're threatening to fire me from a job you don't control that you can't know I'd want." "But I will look into it."

"The M.E.'s office is working to identify the remains." "We should hear later today." "Tell the M.E. to expedite." "GORMLEY:" "Already did." "What about Katherine Tucker?" "Me?" "I-I kind of like her." "Spunky." "About the alleged investigation, Sid." "Oh, yeah, Ms. Tucker was right about that." "Lieutenant John Larkin was assigned to the mayor's detail, was spearheading a corruption investigation into Ms. Tucker's husband, Charles, more specifically his real estate development firm." "Who ordered this investigation?" "It came directly from Mayor Poole." "Lieutenant Larkin said his investigation did not uncover any improprieties in Tucker's business." "I hear a "but."" "He did uncover some hanky-panky with Tucker and a female executive of the firm." ""Hanky-panky" as in...?" "As in not financial." "Were the findings given to the mayor?" "Not as of yet." "I want all the files and any evidence on my desk immediately." "Right." "I already told you, the incident happened in the laundry room." "Who caused the injuries?" "We don't know yet." "Well, you know who was in that area with him at that time, don't you?" "There will be an investigation." "Aren't there security cameras in the laundry room?" "This is not exactly your jurisdiction, is it?" "That's my father lying in that bed, so that makes it my jurisdiction." "That fraud?" "He swindled millions of dollars from innocent people." "Your father is a crook." "What did you say, you son of a bitch?" "Hey, whoa." "Who do you think you're talking to?" "Are you kidding me?" "You're not even a real cop!" "What are you gonna do about it?" "Take a break, take a breather." "Take a breather." "Unfortunately, losing it with him isn't gonna help." "Jamie, he has intracranial bleeding, two broken ribs and a punctured lung." "And this guy is telling me that it's not my jurisdiction." "Okay, but it's not." "So are we not gonna look into it?" "We do that, we're gonna piss off a whole lot of people." "But I'm in if you are." "Thank you." "WOMAN:" "Hey, it's me." "I just put a deposit on a cute little studio in Kew Gardens."

"Reported missing in April." "And Sonia Fraser, 18, just graduated high school." "Reported missing in June." "They're all white females in their late teens." "We get dumps on their phones, too?" "Yeah, I'm cross-referencing them right now, but I'm not getting any numbers in common." "All right, let's get a canvass going on the entire neighborhood." "This guy was able to snatch up these women without any witnesses, he must have been someone they knew." "Or trusted." "Morning, Baker." "Just a heads-up." "Mayor Poole is in your office." "That wasn't on the schedule." "Well, he just showed up, insisted on waiting." "Morning." "Did you order Lieutenant Larkin not to release the results of his investigation?" "Your NYPD detail is not your own personal private detective." "No, I had a legitimate cause to order it." "Then why didn't it come through this office as it should?" "Because you knew I'd say no." "Frank, have you forgotten that you work for me and not the other way around?" "And do you honestly think that Katherine Tucker will keep you on if she's elected?" "It honestly never occurred to me." "Sandy Koufax, The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Jim Brown the running back from Cleveland." "What?" "Well, I'm not saying I'm them." "What are you talking about?" "They all got out at the top of their game, didn't wait to be pushed." "Oh, I am not buying that." "And I'm not selling, I'm just saying." "Frank, right here, right now, who are you trying to protect?" "Nobody in particular." "Just the standards of this office." "I want that file, Frank." "After I've reviewed it, and only then if there is criminality involved." "You know, the latest polls has my opponent ten percentage points behind me." "If you're running ahead, why you looking behind?" "Ten points is not that much." "Well, I don't pay attention to polls." "Well, could you, Frank?" "Could you cut your boss a break?" "We're supposed to be on the same side here, right?" "Most of the time we are." "Then let this time be one of those times." "Don't make me replace you." "Mr. Mayor, I've been around you long enough to know you're going to do exactly what you're going to do." "Baker." "Good day." "I didn't really see his face." "You know?" "I was..." "I was hit from behind." "How many of them were there?" "I don't know." "You look so important." "The uniform..." "You must have some idea who did this to you." "I..." "I don't remember." "Edit Marie," "I'm so proud of you." "Where were the corrections officers?" "They... they got there to break it up, but they didn't get there in time." "NURSE:" "Excuse me, Officer." "Hey." "Something's not right." "Hmm?" "I talked to the other C.O." "None-none of the stories match up." "What are you saying?" "I'm saying somebody's hiding something." "Talk to me, Doc." "I want to get this maniac before lunch." "I wouldn't count on it." "Given how long the other two bodies were there, this guy knows what he's doing." "Okay, but we do at least know it's a guy?" "Judging from the amount of force used and how aggressive, yes." "There's also signs of sexual assault, postmortem." "Figures." "DNA?" "He's thorough." "Not a trace so far." "Anything else?" "They all have skull fractures" "I believe caused by a hammer." "But that's not what killed them?" "He strangled them to death with his hands after he bludgeoned them." "Son of a bitch." "He tied them up with rope, hands and feet." "He wants his victims to feel inferior." "That's the scary part about serial killers, that there's no motive other than pleasure." "The scary part about serial killers is, in order to catch these psychos," "I gotta learn to think like 'em." "Danny?" "They just found another body." "(indistinct radio chatter)" "The latest victim-- name is Carmen Sanchez." "She's 19 years old." "From Astoria." "What about the note?" "Ran it through the Doc unit." "There were no fingerprints or DNA or discerning marks on the note." "The M.E.'s office was the same." "No traceable DNA." "Great." "You know, this guy-- he's so familiar with the area." "He's gotta be from around there." "What about sex offenders?" "There are 1,546 registered sex offenders in Queens." "Can we narrow it down a little bit?" "Maybe a ten-mile radius?" "450." "Great." "What about, uh, social media?" "They're all on that social media." "Any connection there?" "Nothing that ties these women together so far." "Maybe it's a crime of opportunity." "Why the hell did I say anything to that reporter?" "You're not the reason..." "I'm sure I didn't help matters." "There was an assault case in Morningside Heights last year... a guy used a hammer on a college coed." "Sounds familiar." "That's right, the victim was Danielle Levine." "I'll see if she'll talk to us." "I'll see what I can get from Carmen's roommate." "And Danny?" "I know, don't blame myself." "Jeffery Stark?" "Can't you leave me alone?" "Hey, we just want to ask you some questions." "I haven't committed a crime," "I haven't violate my parole..." "Well, you're not in any trouble." "If I'm talking to the cops, it's always about some trouble." "JANKO:" "The warden at Yorktown said you were cellmates with Armin Janko." "You know Armin?" "I'm his daughter." "Yeah, I recognize your face from the graduation photo he kept on the wall." "You never visited." "Hey, listen, we're trying to help Armin, okay?" "He was beaten up pretty badly in the prison laundry room." "He's in the hospital." "He's real tight-lipped about who and why." "It's called survival." "Look, I gotta go now." "Hey." "Come on." "Warden can't get to you out here." "You want to know why I made it out on good behavior?" "It's because I kept my mouth shut." "Now, my pizzas are getting a little bit cold, all right?" "Hey." "Listen, wait, you're right." "You're right, you're right." " Come on." "You're right, I didn't visit my dad in prison." "And my reasons are none of your business, but no one deserves to get beat like he did." "The only thing I can tell you is that the laundry room is the black market of the prison." "How's that?" "You can get anything you want." "Anything from drugs to weapon exchanges hands in the laundry room." "If you want to make it out of there alive... that is just one thing that you don't want to mess with." "Excuse me." "Great." "He's dealing drugs." "The first time he hit me, I blacked out." "When I came to, I was in his car." "Did you get a look at his face at all?" "My injuries... wiped out some of my memory." "I don't remember most of what happened." "Did you recognize anything about him?" "Maybe his voice?" "The way he talked?" "He didn't talk." "He just laughed." "And there was music." "Can you remember what kind of music it was?" "Classical." "Classical." "Okay." "It was like..." "he did it to set a mood." "He was into it." "I've read about these women, and I know I'm supposed to feel lucky that I survived." "But I don't." "I haven't slept since it happened." "I'm afraid to go out alone and I'm afraid he's gonna come back." "Can you remember anything else about him?" "Even the slightest detail could help us to find this guy." "I remember his eyes." "They were just blank." "The more I cried and begged for my life, the more he seemed to enjoy it." "He dumped me just off the highway, left me there in the rain." "I've been told he probably thought I was dead." "Ironically, that's what saved me." "Well, lucky for you." "My skull was fractured in five places." "I still get headaches." "And I'm the lucky one?" "So she wasn't tied up or duct-taped like the others." "No." "If you look at the timeline, she was probably his first victim." "He hadn't mastered his technique yet." "There were six months between the first two." "The time between kills is getting less and less." "Have a radio car sit on Danielle's house now, just in case." "(phone ringing)" "He's on a real spree." "Reagan." "MAN:" "Your comments to that reporter weren't very nice." "Who the hell is this?" "Or accurate." "Okay, so why don't you enlighten me?" "I plan to, Detective Reagan." "You called me a coward on television, and that's just not true." "Sure it is." "I'm brave enough to help these women release their souls." "You should be condemned, you sick son of a bitch." "So, uh, tell me... what have you found out about the killer so far?" "Why don't you tell me?" "He's smart." "He's not that smart." "He's smarter than you." "You can't even find him, can you?" "I promise you, I'll find him." "Before it's too late?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "There's somebody I'd like you to meet." "Her name's Ashley." "(sobbing)" "Please!" "Please!" "Please don't let him kill me!" "(sobbing)" "(dial tone sounds)" "Does staring out at the city ever make anything clearer?" "No." "It reminds me there's a whole world outside this office." "I've been thinking about your situation." "I don't have a situation." "I have a serial killer." "You need to hand the results of that investigation over to Mayor Poole." "Katherine Tucker's husband did nothing that was criminal." "What he does in his personal life is not my business or more importantly, the mayor's." "It is very much your business." "You're alienating both the incumbent and his leading challenger." "Come November, we've got no friends in City Hall." "With friends like that, as they say..." "This isn't funny, Frank." "You shouldn't be in the middle of this." "I didn't choose to be." "Then, let me handle it." "Okay, you got it." "Arrange a meeting with Katherine Tucker." "What are you gonna say to her?" "I don't know." "Frank, you tell her the truth, it's gonna confirm what she suspects." "That Poole is behind this." "She'll use it against him." "Are you suggesting I lie, Garrett?" "I'd suggest avoiding her until after the November elections." "I would if I could." "But we both know I can't." "(sighs)" "You're bringing drugs into a city prison?" "What?" "Are you kidding me?" "Is that what you think?" "What am I supposed to think?" "Dad, will you do me one favor?" "Would you, just for, just for once in your life, be honest?" "For once?" "I have always been honest with you." "No, Dad!" "Your whole life is a lie." "You never gave me a chance to explain!" "JANKO:" "I don't want to hear you explain anything." "Because everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie." "Every single time." "You lie to me again and again and again." "I'm done with you!" "Eddie." "You have a chance here." "To fix things with Eddie." "I can't fix what I did." "You can repair what you have left by being honest." "How'd you really get those injuries?" "I didn't get beat up for smuggling drugs inside." "I got beat up for refusing to." "Nicky, can I get another piece of that chicken?" "Well, how many have you had?" "Why?" "Because Uncle Danny hasn't eaten yet, and I want to make sure that there are leftovers." "Leftovers for who?" "For me." "Wait till you see what college food tastes like." "There's more in the oven." "Give it over." "(chuckles)" "Any feedback from your panel interview?" "Not yet." "About the judgeship?" "Yeah." "They don't tell you what was said after you leave the room." "Well, you'd make a great judge." "God knows you're judgmental." "(laughter)" "Yeah, that wasn't funny when your brother said it, either." "It kind of is." "Being from a family of cops come up?" "Oh, it came up and stayed front and center." "Not in a good way, I'm guessing." "You know, I couldn't really tell." "It just felt like they were trying to keep me off-balance and on the defensive." "Hmm." "HENRY:" "And why would being a Reagan make you defensive?" "With this administration and in this climate?" "Come on, Grandpa." "She's right." "Cops out on the street aren't exactly feeling the love from City Hall." "Neither do we at One PP." "Hmm." "Well, that's just wrong." "You know, you could always run for it in the next election." "Well, that would be a harder road." "Harder than a seat on the bench with strings attached?" "You really think that's what Poole's invitation's all about?" "Well, I'm not saying that, but I do believe there's no such thing as a free lunch." "JAMIE:" "Well," "I'm not calling you "Your Honor" no matter how you get there." "I'll second that." "(chuckles)" "(door closes)" "Hey." "Hey!" "BOTH:" "Hi, Dad." "Hey there." "Sorry I'm late." "Hey, boys." "Hey." "Hi." "How's the case going?" "Fine." "Working on a Sunday-- you get anywhere?" "Little bit." "Really, it's fine." "Maybe we should just leave it at that." "Pass this to your dad." "(clears his throat)" "(crickets chirping)" ""The first Mrs. De Winter"?" ""R," blank, "B," blank..." "Rebecca." "Rebecca-- thank you." "Who was the second Mrs. De Winter?" "They never said." "At least not in the movie." "Uh-huh." "It's not all about you, you know." "What's not?" "This thing with the mayor." "You have to think collaterally." "I am." "Really?" "And what about Garrett and Baker and Gormley and all the dozens of others who are tied to you that'll walk the plank if you do?" "I'm aware of that." "Not to mention your daughter?" "Well." "Now, since you just did bring it up..." "Look, it's one thing not to curry favor for your kids." "But to piss off the mayor could impact Erin." "I can't let that be a factor." "Your call, Francis." "(sighs)" "Mrs. Juliano?" "Mrs. Juliano, I'm Detective Reagan." "I was assigned to your daughter Ashley's case." "I don't have any news yet." "But she could still be alive?" "Did Ashley tell you where she was going before she went missing?" "The last I heard from her, she had just gotten her hair cut and she was on her way to, uh, uh, to look at an apartment." "For rent?" "She-- your daughter was moving?" "Yeah, she was going to see a place in Forest Hills." "Did she say where?" "She have a realtor's name?" "An address?" "Anything?" "No." "A name?" "Okay, okay." "Um..." "This, this helps." "Detective?" "And bring them both back to me." "You got it." "Baez?" "The first victim, she went missing when she was, uh, looking for an apartment-- is that right?" "Yeah." "Okay, well," "Ashley and Lois went missing doing the same thing." "Any of our sex offenders involved in real estate?" "(computer beeps)" "Thomas Wilder, 42." "He got his license two years ago." "Was arrested twice for sexual assault." "Any strangulation or anything involved?" "Yes." "Give me an address." "9501 94th Street." "Hey, Danny, wait for me." "I'll meet you there." "(phone beeps)" "Danny?" "Danny!" "Danny!" "Hello?" "♪" "(glass cracking)" "(thud nearby)" "(classical music playing)" "♪" "My God." "(muffled crying)" "It's okay, I'm a cop." "I'm a cop." "I'm gonna get you out of here." "(Ashley crying) It's okay." "Detective 466." "Detective 466 requesting a 10-85..." "DISPATCH:" "Detective 466, what's your location?" "Repeat-- what's your location?" "Shut up!" "(muffled crying)" "(classical music playing)" "(both grunting)" "(moaning)" "(groaning)" "(groans)" "(groaning)" "(choking)" "(bellowing)" "(sirens wailing)" "(groans)" "(muffled sobbing)" "Okay." "It's okay." "(door opens)" "Commissioner?" "I have Katherine Tucker." "Thank you, Garrett." "Please." "Welcome." "Thank you." "Thank you, Garrett." "We can sit over here." "I have to admit, I was surprised when your office called for a meeting." "Well, I kind of think private conversations should be had in private." "I guess I'm a little old-fashioned that way." "Meaning the next time I want to accuse you of something," "I should call ahead for an appointment?" "Well, I'm hoping there isn't a next time, but if there is," "I'd appreciate that, yes." "(sighs)" "You were right about the investigation into your husband." "They were looking into his real estate development foundation." ""They"?" "I'm not finished." "It was found that nothing illegal was going on." "However?" "Pardon me?" "Reading people is important in my line of work, Commissioner." "He's having an affair with a woman in his office." "Did Poole order the investigation?" "Doesn't matter who ordered it." "Matters to me." "I can't say." "Won't say." "Oh, come on, Katherine." "We both got what we came for." "How's that?" "You got a measure of how loyal I am to my boss, and I got a sense of what you're made of." "I-I don't follow." "Yeah, you do." "You already knew about your husband's affair." "That flinch was just a little too calculated." "So what if I know about my husband's affair?" "In my experience, it takes a master of control to put a cheating spouse in its own little box." "You have no idea how I deal." "You don't let weakness around you sap your strength." "It's a compliment." "Commissioner..." "You might as well call me Frank." "Frank, if I should win the election..." "I'll send congratulations." "He cooperated fully, and his testimony against the corrections officers was corroborated by the other inmates." "So he has no direct connection to the drug trafficking?" "To the contrary, he's our whistleblower." "He was the only one willing to testify against the prison guards." "I know this might be an odd thing to say, given your father's situation, but you should be proud of him." "JAMIE:" "Thanks." "Hi." "Hey." "So it looks like they're gonna transfer you to federal prison, and, um, they might be able to reduce your sentence because of your testimony." "(chuckles) Terrific." "I'm sorry, Dad, for... what I said." "You know, I-I just, I really thought.." "You thought I was a crook." "That's because you're right, I am." "You want to know why I stole money?" "Okay." "I thought... being a good father meant making sure that you didn't want for anything." "Even if that meant doing illegal things." "I wanted to make sure that you didn't grow up like me, you know, with nothing." "Wait, um, you're not just giving me an excuse because of what you did, right?" "No." "No." "I'm giving you a reason, screwed up as it is." "NURSE:" "Excuse me." "My ride's here." "So, listen, uh..." "You keep an eye on her for me, huh?" "Will do." "(sighs)" "Oh." "(chuckles)" "See you." "Bye, Dad." "Tell me we got him." "Not yet." "There's no way he could've gone far." "He took a boat." "We've notified Harbor Patrol and Coast Guard." "How's Ashley?" "She's with her mom." "She's gonna be okay." "Good." "How about you?" "(sighs)" "Broken bone, a few stitches, no big deal." "ERIN:" "He's got two broken ribs and 28 stitches." "You could use a few days off." "You are such a girl." "I'm glad you're fine." "But I'm not." "(softly):" "Hey." "I got to call the boys." "They need to know that you're okay." "(sighs)" "You're out line of duty." "You're not supposed to be here." "I know." "I have to return this to its rightful owner." "You did good, partner." "(phone rings)" "Reagan." "WILDER:" "Good morning, Detective Reagan." "Wilder." "I told you I was smart." "I need a trace on Detective Reagan's line ASAP." "Where are you?" "Uh, I'm somewhere..." "GIRLS:" "Defense!" "...with lots of young women who are just... dying to meet me. (laughs)" "You sick son of a bitch." "I promise you," "I am gonna find you, and when I do..." "Well, you had your chance." "Good-bye, Detective." "Uh, just for the record," "I win." "(sighs)" "== sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man"
