Don Flack, Danny Messer and others in “Damned If You Do”

[to Manny Ravarra] We're here about a homicide that was committed last night in Jamaica Estates. Couple was bludgeoned to :death.

Danny Messer

And we don't make you for it. In fact, we have an eyewitness who says it wasn't you.

All right.

Danny Messer

But your cell mate, he says you did it. Said you were bragging about it.

But Owen Hicks is looking to get out from under a robbery charge that will most likely send him upstate for the next 15 years, so...

Danny Messer

Yeah, not the most reliable source. We figured we'd come here, lay our cards on the table, give you an opportunity to respond.

Let me see if I got this right. My crackhead cell mate gives me up for a murder that an eyewitness says was committed by someone else, and you two drop by here to give me the opportunity to say that I didn't do nothing? I got that right?

What about it, Manny?

What about it? Sometimes crackheads actually tell the truth.

Danny Messer

So what are you saying?

I'm saying your eyewitness is wrong. I killed that couple.
