Mike
You	let	some	things	slide,	you	look
the	other	way,	you	bust	a	drug
dealer	that	has	more	cash	than	you'll
ever	earn	in	a	lifetime.	Some	of
it	doesn't	make	it	back	into	evidence,
so	what.	You	took	a	taste	and
so	did	everyone	else.	That's	how	you
knew	you	were	safe.	It's	like	killing
caeser,	where	everyone's	guilty.	Matt	wasn't	dirty,
I	was.	Everyone	was	in	that	precinct.
That's	how	it	worked.	You	turn	in
your	buddy,	you're	screwing	yourself.	You	go
along		to	get	along.
Stacey
And you went along?
Mike
I	did.	Yeah,	I	did.
Stacey
Ok, but you said Matt didn't?
Mike
No,	no	Matt.	Fensky	got	to	Hoffman
early,	kick	backs	from	some	gang	or
another.	Protection	basically.	Then	Hoffman	went	to
Matty,	offered	to	cut	him	in,	only
fair	right.	They	were	partners.	And	Matt
did	what	you'd	think,	he	agonized.	Then
he	came	to	me,	wanted	to	go
to	the	IA.	Do	the	right	thing,
shut	them	down.
Stacey
Oh my god and you let him? That's why he got killed because he was gonna turn in those guys?
Mike
No,	no.	I	told	him,	eh--	You
know	what	a	cop	fears	most?	More
than	getting	shot,	more	than	anything?	Prison.
Getting	locked	up	with	everybody	you	put
away.	You	threaten	a	cop	with	that,
you	make	him	dangerous,	and	that's	what

I	told	him.	I	talked	sense.	Noone
was	getting	hurt.	But	if	you	go
to	the	IA,	if	you	even	look
like	you're	going...	Had	a	wife?	A
kid?	Responsibilities?	Take	the	money	and	do
something	good	with	it.	I	tried,	I
tried,	but	he	wouldn't	listen.	My	boy
was	stubborn,	my	boy	was	strong,	and
was	gonna	get	himself	killed.	So	I
told	him,	I	told	him	I	did
it	too.	That	I	was	like	Hoffman,
getting	by,	and	that's	what	you	heard
that	night.	Me	talking	him	down,	him
kicking	and	screaming	until	the	fight	went
out	of	him.	He	put	me	up
on	a	pedestal....	and	I	had	to
show	him...	That	I	was	down	in
the	gutter	with	the	rest	of	them.
Broke	my	boy.	I	broke	my	boy.
He	went	to	Hoffman.	He	took	the
money,	but	he	hesitated.	Even	looking	like
you're	doing	the	right	thing,	to	those
two,	meant	that	he	wasn't	solid.	That
he	couldn't	be	trusted.	I	got	Matty
to	take	the	money...	and	they	killed
him	two	days	later.	He	was	the
strongest	person	that	i'd	ever	knew.	He
would've	never	done	it,	not	even	to
save	himself.	I	was	the	only	one.
I	was	the	only	one	that	could
get	him	to	debase	himself	like	that...
and	it	was	for	nothing.	I	made
him	lesser,	I	made	him	like	me.
The	bastards	killed	him	anyway.
Stacey
Hoffman and Fensky, if they killed Matty, who killed them? Mike, What Happened?
Mike
You	know	what	happened.	The	question	is,
can	you	live	with	it?
