Back at then station when Banks walks in people are hugging and cheering and whistling. He has no idea. "You're dead," Delahoy says. "Not funny." Delahoy explains to Banks about the Asian guy who got popped holding up a liquor store. "I don't want to be dead," Banks whines. So they are going to get the guy's prints and find out who he really is. Hey, I suppose it's better that he found out that his ID was stolen than not, right?
Lou takes Schraeger and Walsh to the liquor store he walks by everyday to remind himself he triumphed over booze and out of the blue the night before, maybe because of a case or trouble with the gf he decided to get a 1/5 of tequila. They ask the guy at the counter if Lou was there the night before. The guy says that Lou was. there and got excited about the tourist brochures. They look through the brochures until Lou remembers that he was looking through them for the Circle Line. This prompts Casey to semi freak and whine "Walsh, I don't like boats. I don't like boats, Walsh." The only emotions she seems to have are semi whiny, sarcastic and angry.
Alvarez is sitting at his desk. The clown is in the pen and starts taunting him about the pictures of his wife on the table, saying that she has herpes. Leo is talking on the phone. He finds out that the ID's were stolen by a Jimmy KungFu. He sees that Jimmy has taken a Disney cruise with his money. Banks is pissed. Delahoy points out that now he'll probably never had jury duty. They look over Banks' credit card reports and figure out when the purchases began, a couple months before in a coffee shop. Karen appears again and asks if Delahoy is going to stop if he's dead. They decide to go pay Jimmy Kung Fu a visit.
Anyone else wondering where Cole and Beaumont are? It's harder to pull a Rose and Bernard on this show considering those two are both main characters. Guess there's no fallout at all from last week's episode and we're just gonna forget about it. Not. I'm going to add HWCABSUTS? How Would Cole and Beaumont Screw Up This Scene?
Walsh, Schraeger and Lou are on the Circle Line. Schraeger looks uncomfortable like she has a mild case of heartburn. Walsh gets a call that the blood on Lou's shirt was human but it wasn't his. Lou waxes nostalgic about the his wife and their first date on the Circle line in '96. They decide their next course of action is to track Lou's phone and credit cards to see if those give away any clues. Schraeger pulls Walsh aside and suggests that Lou is playing them and building a murder defense of mental incompetence. Walsh shrugs it off, he doesn't believe it. Lou calls them over and says he remembered he didn't actually make it onto the boat the night before, the guy closed to gate. Elated, Casey bolts through the crowd. Now it might be just me thinking about how much someone who hasn't had a drink in 5 years can hold, but this walking around blacking out sounds pretty farfetched. Most likely he'd have just passed out or needed his stomach pump. But I suppose I'll sacrifice the science for the story.
At the station Alvarez goes into the utility room to make coffee, where Lou was sitting earlier. He finds a bloody tissue in there. Another guy enters and Alvarez questions him about Lou. The guy explains that Lou used to be called Trainwreck because of his alcoholism. He would carry around gin in a contact solution bottle.
Delahoy and Banks go to Jimmy Kung Fu's apartment. He's not there but his girlfriend is. She refers to Banks as "The Dummy" they've been getting all the stuff from. They ask about Jimmy and find out he's a danger freak, the opposite of Leo. He wants to take all his stuff back immediately but Delahoy plies her for information. She decides to make a deal for information about where Jimmy Kung Fu got the ID. They find out for the price of CD's and a game console the ID was sold to him but Lowdown in Alphabet City. When I heard Alphabet City the drama geek in me immediately went to RENT and I started thinking of a song involving selling out to ID scammers to make Rent. But I'm weird.
