Law & Order

In the criminal justice system,

the people are represented

by two separate, yet equally important groups:

the police, who investigate crime,

and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

Great jacket.

- Thanks. - Are you a model or something?

Ugh.

Really? You're offended

because I paid you a compliment?

I didn't ask you to compliment me, did I?

No.

I'm just trying to walk to the damn subway,

now back up and get the hell out of my way.

Get the hell out of your way?

Who do you think you're talking to, sweetie?

Are you serious? You're gonna record me?

We're just talking.

I said back up and get the hell out of my way.

Have a wonderful night, miss.

Pleasure talking to you.

911. What's your emergency?

- Yeah, a man's been shot. - What's your location?

On the corner of West 173rd and Fort Washington.

- What's his status? - Please.

Please, he's bleeding.

I hear he was on the job?

Took two to the chest.

Recovered the casing near the body. 9mm.

- Mm-hmm. - Any witnesses?

No. Nothing yet, anyway.

Name was James Doyle.

Detective First Grade.

Jimmy.

He goes by Jimmy, not James.

Oh. Sorry.

I'll see you on the other side, brother.

Good evening.

At approximately 10:05 this evening,

Detective First Grade James Doyle

was shot and killed while working off duty.

Jimmy was a 23-year veteran of the NYPD

and a recipient of multiple awards and accommodations,

including the Medal of Valor,

which is awarded for outstanding personal bravery,

intelligently performing in the line of duty

and imminent hazard to life...

Did you see anyone in the immediate vicinity?

- No. - No one?

You didn't see anyone running or jumping into a car?

No.

I'm sorry, I was so focused on the man who got shot.

How far away were you when you heard the two loud pops?

I don't know.

About 30 yards.

And you ran toward the sound of the gunshots,

which means you were there five or six seconds

after the shooting. - What's your point?

My point is I find it hard to believe you didn't see anybody.

Hey, come on, Frank.

I'm just trying to motivate her.

Okay, okay.

You know what, ma'am?

If you can think of anything else

that might be helpful to us, give us a call.

Thank you.

Hey.

We're gonna have to take this one step at a time.

Let's go.

We need to talk to Jimmy's wife.

Yeah, okay.

Excuse me.

Hey.

Hey, cuz.

Heather.

Frankie.

I am so sorry. I can't believe this happened.

Heather, this is my partner, Kevin Bernard.

So sorry about your loss.

Is there somewhere we can...

Hey, guys, can we have the room?

Thanks.

I hate to do this.

I understand.

It's fine.

You have any idea who might've done this to Jimmy?

- No. - Was he having any problems,

anything unusual going on in his life?

No. He was doing great.

Were there any recent arguments,

confrontations? - Not sure.

We split up about three years ago.

Oh, I-I didn't know.

I'm sorry, I--

Jimmy and I, we haven't talked in a while, so...

Sometimes life gets in the way.

Just the way it is.

But we were still really close.

Talked to him every day.

'Cause he was my best friend.

You have any idea why he was up on 173rd Street?

How long were you and Jimmy dating?

Almost three years.

I still can't believe this.

We had dinner last night.

He said that he had to get up early

and take his kids to school, so...

He was gonna head back to Brooklyn

and sleep at his apartment.

What'd you two do for dinner?

We went to a place on Broadway called Tarravita.

It's a few blocks this way.

Hmm.

Anything out of the ordinary happen at dinner last night?

Someone staring at Jimmy? You?

No.

It was a nice, normal dinner.

What about walking home?

I didn't notice anything unusual.

Hmm.

It's not fair.

It's just not.

Jimmy was special.

I know. Jimmy and I were friends.

So you know what I mean.

He loved being a cop, too, more than anything.

Despite all the protests and anti-police hate.

Probably not so easy for you though.

You're right.

A lot of my friends didn't understand how...

a Black woman could date a cop.

A white cop no less.

Any of these friends ever get in an argument with Jimmy?

No.

Anyone ever threaten you or harass you?

That's--that's you, right?

Last night.

Eight minutes before Detective Doyle

was shot and killed.

I went over there.

I live five blocks away.

So I walk over there sometimes hoping to bump into her.

All right? We worked together at a hotel.

We dated for a few months, nothing serious.

Then she starts seeing this dude Jimmy

and I still have strong feelings for Ezrie.

You know, what can I say, man?

Listen, I get a little obsessive sometimes.

Obsessive enough to kill someone.

- No. - Yeah.

No. Hell no.

I had nothing to do with that shooting.

I don't even own a gun. - Let's see this again.

You walk out at 9:58.

The 911 call comes in at 10:04.

That's you. Where'd you go?

What'd you do? Hmm?

What'd you do?

I saw Ezrie and Jimmy at the front door.

Okay?

He kissed her goodnight. He walked away.

I thought about ringing the buzzer,

but I knew that'd be a bad idea so I started walking home.

Right about the time Detective Jimmy Doyle was shot.

Yeah, I heard the shots.

It sounded like two loud pops. - Loud?

So you were close.

Meaning you probably saw the shooting too.

No. No.

I heard the gunshots. I didn't really see anything.

What does that even mean,

you "didn't really see anything"?

It means I didn't see the shooter or shooting.

All I saw was some white dude running down Broadway.

He looked scared as hell.

Oh, yeah? When was this?

It was about 10 seconds after the gunshots.

This is 12 seconds after the 911 call.

Let's hold off on getting a warrant for now.

We need to find out who this guy is

and why the hell he's running.

So I already ran a reverse image search.

His name is Scott Gleacher.

He works at an investment firm in Midtown.

We need to track his ass down right now.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's me.

So?

It's gonna be like that?

Excuse me?

A police officer was shot and killed

about 75 yards away from where you were running.

I want to help out, but--

But what?
