CSI: NY

- Good night, ladies. - Good night.

- Get home safe. - Thanks.

Okay. We'll see you tomorrow.

Hey, kid.

I'll be there in 15.

No, no, you're buying.

You got a big boy job now and a big boy paycheck.

Uh-huh.

Hey, let me go, son. I'm locking up.

No, we'll talk when I get there.

I love you, too. And, hey, I'm proud of you.

Come on, hurry up, come on!

Hurry up! Get it!

That's it.

Shots went off, I saw the dude get hit, and I ran.

Got around the block

and I felt this... burning feeling in my shoulder.

That's all I saw.

That "dude" was an off-duty police officer,

moonlighting at the check cashing store.

Did it occur to you, did it cross your mind

for one second to go back and help him?!

I mean, I was shot, too.

And you knew you had an active bench warrant on a drug case,

so you didn't want to stick around.

You'd rather leave a man die in the street than go to court.

Hey, please, I can't go back inside on that warrant.

I got a kid.

I wanted to call, okay? I really did.

I was scared.

Maybe I wasn't thinking about the cop, all right?

Good night.

You know what?

There's no law that says I have to help you guys.

So, you know what'd be nice? Just a little, maybe,

"Hey, thank you for cooperating, Mr. Lombardo."

You wouldn't even be talking to us if the hospital

hadn't called to report you coming in with a gunshot wound.

Hey, how's that cop doing, anyway?

He's down the hall, fighting for his life.

Get up.

- What? - Turn around. Turn around.

Ow. Ow!

Hey, okay. Relax, relax!

What the hell's going on?!

You weren't across the street running when you got shot.

You were standing right over the officer

when the bullet went through your shoulder.

You're no innocent bystander, you're a liar.

Oh, snap!

I got all y'all! What?

Looks like they all go to the same barber.

Uh-huh, no kidding. They could be brothers.

- What about the rest of the video? - (sighs)

I see the car, just not really clear.

Witness took down the plate.

Car was reported stolen yesterday.

Okay, I went through the entire video, open to closing,

and no one resembling Lombardo came in and out.

If he's involved, he's not in this video.

All the witnesses have the same story:

all right, three bald, African-American males.

No one puts Lombardo at the scene.

But the science does.

I examined those gunshot wounds.

Lombardo was standing directly over Riley,

facing him, when Riley shot him.

Bullet traveled through his shoulder,

ended up on the other side of the street.

Riley's .38 was recovered right near his body.

Lombardo was not shot with that gun

somewhere else later on.

Unless Lombardo had some sort of

magical cloaking device, how did he end up

in the crime scene, get shot, without anybody seeing him?

Mark Riley was the first officer

at one of the first crime scenes I worked in the city.

He really made an impression on me.

He was so nice, very professional...

really knew his stuff.

I bumped into him at the courthouse a few times.

Always talking about his family.

Mm.

Looks like he's got someone following in his footsteps.

Hi, I'm Jason Riley.

Hi. Jo Danville, detective.

We're from the crime lab.

Hi, I'm Detective Lindsay Messer.

Uh, my dad's... We know.

We're pulling for him.

Do you have any idea who did this?

Not yet, but we have a whole team

of detectives working on it.

No one's going home till we do.

So, what? You're, um...

here to process his body if...

No. No, we're here to collect evidence

in his clothing once he pulls through surgery.

I was, I was talking to him

on the phone just before he got shot.

We both got off at midnight,

and we were gonna go to the diner,

have coffee and a midnight snack.

Did he sound worried or concerned about anything?

No. I mean, he kind of hurried off the phone

like he was distracted, but he-he gets that way

when he's trying to do three things at one time.

He said, um, "I love you and I'm proud of you," though.

That's pretty good, right?

If it's the last thing your father ever says to you?

Don't think like that.

From what I know about your dad, he's a fighter.

Yeah, he is.

Excuse me.

Ladies and gentlemen,

: last night, an off-duty NYPD officer

was shot during a burglary in Queens.

But I'm happy to say that the officer is out of surgery

and his family is by his side.

Yes!

But I will caution you, we are not out of the woods yet.

The next 24 to 48 hours will be crucial in determining

his condition going forward.

I want to thank my trauma team...

That's good news for you.

Looks like he's going to make it.

Well played.

What are you doing?

That press conference is golden.

It's two years old.

We need an upgrade.

You have a point.

Mac wants us to wait for him.

So, what do you think?

Tough nut to crack?

He's scared.

But my gut tells me, as long as he thinks

Officer Riley is still alive, he'll keep talking.

I'm gonna make it real simple for you.

The hole in the front of your shoulder is an entrance wound.

The hole in the back is an exit wound.

The bullet entered at an upward angle

within six feet of the shooter.

That means you had to be standing directly

over and facing Officer Riley when he shot you.

I was across the street, running away.

Like I told you.

What? That's the truth.

I mean, I could lie if you want me to.

You know, just tell me what you want me to say.

I want you to say the names of the three men you were with.

Look at me.

The names! Now!

Come on, get up.

Give me an excuse.

I didn't think so.

I'm done with this piece of garbage.

Do whatever you want with him.

Damn. I would not want to get on your bad side.

What, now you gonna play good cop?

Be honest with you, I don't know what to do.

He's usually the good cop.

He's also the boss.

And the last guy

in this building you want to piss off.

Look, man, you got a witness

who can I.D. me, bring him in.

You got any of that DNA crap, bring it on.

Otherwise, take me to court on that warrant,

because I told you what I saw.

Look...

you seem like a smart guy.

So you know if we had a witness, you'd be standing in a lineup.

I'm not gonna lie.

All I got you on is that warrant right now.

So what makes you so sure that I'm lying?

Because your story makes no sense.

It couldn't have happened the way you said.

He's being too soft.

Mm.

He's being patient.

I can't think of anybody I'd rather have in that room.

You got hit with a bullet from Officer Riley's five-shot .38.

That thing's a pea-shooter.

It wouldn't barely break the skin from across the street.

It definitely would not go clean through you shoulder

from that distance.

Impossible.
