Ironside

Robert Corning.

East 84th street.

80 years old.

Would have folded if you whispered at him.

Never could have I.D.'d you through his coke-bottle lenses.

But you beat him down with a pry bar

until his brains fell out.

You beat him while his...

I just... I need... I need you to say it.

Say it loud.

"I panicked, and I killed the old man."

Then you can turn around and go back to your cell

and save us both some time.

84th street?

Was that that thing

they kept asking me about before I went in?

Don't do that, Nagy.

I've been waiting for this conversation

for eight years.

So have you.

Any time I thought about you,

I thought about what you did.

How you put me here.

Guess someone was looking out for me.

Evened up the score.

You're gonna trip and fall.

And when you do, I'm going to be there

to make sure you don't get back up.

So you think about that.

You eat your cornflakes, you get on the bus,

you take a dump

without wondering if this isn't the day

that I get the confession you owe me.

Is that it?

Yeah.

Go ahead.

He was brushing his teeth.

He probably heard something.

Never saw it coming.

Pry bar on the window.

Exits out the front to his car.

It's Nagy. It's got his signature all over it.

Doesn't look like anything's missing

except a couple of paintings.

Nagy's no art thief. He would've picked this place clean.

He got spooked and bolted.

I just... I just wonder what made him jump.

What can I do for you guys?

Oh, hey.

What can I do for you guys?

Hey, the kid.

Did he see it?

Heard it.

Been covering some burglary conditions

in this neighborhood, and we think...

This isn't a burglary, though, is it?

And you're walking all over my crime scene.

Look, we think we...

Hey, hey, our bad.

We just thought you might want some extra bodies.

Thanks.

Uh, do me a favor, make a coffee run.

I'm light and sweet.

Get something for yourselves.

I got it.

Let's find a boss.

Hey, the hell with that.

Let's... Let's find Nagy.

Bobby, it's a homicide.

You saw the attitude.

We give them his name, what are they gonna do?

Let us take lunch orders next time?

Yeah, but what have we even got to pick him up for?

All right.

We know he can't lay off the art fast,

so he still needs cash.

We follow him to his next job.

We collar him for the burglary, and if we get lucky,

then he's still packing evidence from this job.

Come on, it's just another murder to these guys.

We can make this mean something.

Well?

Speak to me, people.

What's Nagy doing right now?

He's coming out of the clinic, going West.

Second trip in two days,

maybe he's got something the doctor can't fix.

Teddy, I hear your voice on my frequency.

Better be something interesting.

Virgil, you've got eyes?

I'm on him, sarge.

Just turned North.

Could be back to a library,

could be back to the train.

Wrong details.

Okay, sarge, what am I looking for?

Is he carrying anything?

Is he... Is he looking at anything?

Hands are empty, walking with purpose.

- Shirt tucked in or out? - What?

Last time we saw him, he was with the doctor.

His shirt was tucked in.

- Is it untucked now? - Tucked.

All right.

He's headed back to the hole.

He's probably taking the train home.

Virgil, Holly, stay with him.

Teddy, go ahead and jump ahead.

Two days, Bob.

- So? - So the guy's done nothing.

Didn't have time eight years ago to move the paintings.

He's gonna take us to them.

And I'm gonna take him and break him.

If he did East 84th.

No one ever made the case.

You need something here, Ed?

Yeah, some kind of status report

on the non-extracurricular work.

You know, the stuff they're gonna ask me about

over at CompStat,

where I'm gonna have to explain to them

why it is that you haven't done one...

It's Scott Rawlings, silver gun robberies.

It was a .25 Raven, by the way.

We got probable cause on Tate James

for the Bushwick shooting.

And we got an address in Newark for Lynne Robey.

Anything else?

Let me get back to this, okay?

Why'd you warn him, Bob?

Because I wanted to look into his eyes,

see if he still felt safe.

Seemed to me like you were reminding yourself

how much you hate him.

He's still in the city, which means the art

or the money is still here.

Eight years, man. Waiting.

Him or you?

We're out of the hole at Atlantic.

Looks like he's headed home.

I'm about two minutes out.

Holly, peel off, wait for Teddy.

Virgil, go ahead and take him home

just in case you're wrong.

Why am I peeling off?

Man's been in jail for eight years.

Sooner or later he's gonna notice you.

Police! Don't move!

Down on the ground! Get down on the ground!

Get down on the ground! Get down!

Get down!

10-13, shots fired, 574 Atlantic Avenue.

Blue Saturn! No plates! Go!

That was a hit! Where's Nagy?

- Gone! Think he was shot. - Gun's gone too.

I'll call a bus for this guy.

Don't bother.

Ironside S01E06 "Pentimento"

Michael Mallen, burglary, robbery,

burglary, burglary, Grand Larceny. Guy's not a shooter, Bob.

Or it was the one thing he knew how to get away with.

Perp two dumped the Saturn. Stolen rental car.

So he's out there somewhere

waiting for me to beat some answers out of him.

Meanwhile...

Meanwhile witness says

Nagy picked up Mallen's gun.

Crime scene confirms he's wounded.

Well, if he bleeds out, I guess you win.

I need a murder confession on East 84th Street.

Then he can bleed out.

He's not even supposed to be here.

Some cops have to go home after a shoot,

some have to go to work. Which do you think he is?

He told you that?

I didn't ask.

You didn't ask your detective

about his first time killing a man?

Where's Teddy and Holly?

Backtracking Nagy.

The clinic, library, his apartment.

Now with our second shooter, start narrow, widen out.

Similar rap sheets, same neighborhood.

I got it.

You talk to Internal Affairs yet?

They said after they talk to the D.A.

Captain says there are plenty of witnesses.

- I'm not worried. - Sure you are.

They're gonna bring up the excessive force complaints.

It's old news.

It was old news when I brought you on board.

I.A.B., shooting review board.

It's not gonna feel good.

But if they're doing their jobs right,

then eventually it's gonna take the weight off your back.

What if they don't do it right?

Well, then they gotta go through me.

And I got a long history of winning arguments.

Oh, man.

Third apartment building he's cased tonight.
