-Actually, Deputy Assistant Mayor.
-Take a seat, Vince.
:35:08
We wanted to meet you,
see how to spin this for the media.
:35:12
-Spin what?
-They know about your old man, Vince.
:35:16
We need a story on how the son
of an executed child-murderer was...
:35:20
-...promoted to homicide detective.
-One of the best.
:35:23
-The best.
-Of New York's finest.
:35:25
My father didn't kill the kid.
lt was a stupid accident.
:35:29
Yes, but the 1 1 :00 news will be
all over this. We want to be ready.
:35:34
-They'll want to know how you got started.
-l didn't kill the kid.
:35:38
But you were hired by Police Captain
McAuley, your father-in-law...
:35:42
-...who shepherded you into Homicide.
-What about him?
:35:46
He arrested my father and
he took a big, big chance with me.
:35:50
l know. l'm just saying that this
is how the media will frame it.
:35:54
After the execution, l had nothing.
That cop saved me, taught me everything.
:35:59
He was the kindest guy l ever met.
Make that part of your story.
:36:03
How's this: ''Detective LaMarca
is in no way responsible.
:36:06
He's had a long and honorable career
despite his father's violent past--''
:36:11
-He wasn't violent. What is this?
-''--and that of his son.''
:36:15
-Excuse us.
-''He has fought criminals....''
:36:18
-Something like that?
-Yeah, that would work.
:36:25
l have to take you off the case.
:36:27
-l should reassign you too, Reg.
-l want him on it.
:36:31
-lt's your call.
-l don't know.
:36:33

:36:36
Okay, all right.
:36:38

You're working with Reg on this.
:36:41
Take the rest of the week off.
:36:43
-l don't need a week off, sir.
-This isn't a democracy.
:36:47
l'll take you home.
:36:55
Put my ex-wife's place
under surveillance. A wiretap too.
