(At the crime scene of a burnt body) Hope you skipped breakfast.
That bad?

How do we know?
That's his melted driver's license right there.

(At the crime scene of a burnt body) Hope you skipped breakfast.
That bad?
Worse. Our vic is Ryan Richards, 25 years old.
How do we know?
That's his melted driver's license right there.
What kept it burning for so long?
I'd offer the wick effect.
Right. Where clothing acts like the wick of a candle turned inside-out.
Feeding the flames a continuous supply of fuel in the form of melting human fat. It's particularly effective.
And particularly disgusting.
(About cage fighting)
I've seen a few matches. That's a brutal sport.
It's an excuse for two grown men to legally beat the bloody pulp out of each other.
So you're not a fan?
I didn't say that.
Kid definitely knew how to defend himself. Whoever did this risked a serious ass-whupping if things went south.
I'll start whacking the bushes, see if anyone was itching for a death match with our fighter outside of the cage.
Large French roast, black, paired with a blueberry scone. That is how you like your coffee, right?
I gave up coffee a year ago and I'm severely allergic to blueberries.
Of course you are. Seems your buddy Flack is quite the practical joker.
My name's Jennifer Walsh. I'm a freelancer with the Journal. I'm writing next month's cover story.
Uh, interview requests are made through the Public lnformation Office.
Truth is, I'm not a big fan of the rules. They seem to get in the way of what I want.
Did Flack tell you to tell me that, too? 'Cause I am a big fan of the rules.
All I'm asking is for five minutes of your time. You owe me that at least, considering I did try to poison you with blueberries.
Fair enough. What's your article about?
The NYPD's inability to police themselves. Specifically in matters of officer misconduct.
Ms. Walsh... (Chuckles) I have no official comment about that.
Some people say that your rigid adherence to department policy is more pliable than you let on. That you've been known to look the other way and be creative with those policies on more than one occasion.
They're entitled to their opinion.
And so are you. I came to hear your side of the story.
There is no story. I do my job to the best of my ability and I expect the same from all the officers under my command.
Ryan Richards was struck in the head, shot in the back, then lit on fire
That's what I call overkill.
I don't watch Ryan fight anymore. Seeing him get hit is worse than someone hitting me. Hard to watch someone you love in pain.
Every now and then, a fan would stop him on the street, challenge him to a fight.
How would Ryan handle that?
He'd give them an autograph instead.
Were there ever any physical attacks?
No. Everything but. I mean, he made death threats. He also broke into their house and left a cake frosted with dog feces on the kitchen counter.
Delightful.
Yeah, the VIP pass was mine. But I was too busy last night in the cage to be using it.
Then who'd you give that pass to?
I don't remember. All right. Fine. I sold it to some guy in the parking lot.
What did he look like?
Looked like he was eager enough to give me 300 bucks for it.
I think I killed somebody last night.
You're telling me you woke up doused in gasoline, covered in blood and you don't know how it happened?
I was drunk.
Yeah, Marty, I've had my fair share of rough nights, yet I think I'd remember taking a bath in somebody else's blood.
