Broadway's My Beat, from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the godiest, the most violent, the lonesome-est mile in the world. My Beat, with Larry Thor as detective Danny Quover.
Broadway, it's a journey to the end of all the streets of the world. You turn a corner and you're there. You walk more slowly and you lean your heart against him like you were in church.
Until it explodes in your face. Then you move swiftly and you're one of the crowds window shopping for kicks and bargains and parkway Because it's Broadway, my feet. The side streets are furious while they funnel off of Broadway, then they trail down into limbo.
Midway between the fury and limbo is a grey stone building. That's police headquarters. That's where I was standing, in front of it, watching the patches of night sky bleed into each other. That was my detail. I was waiting for someone.
Hey Sergeant Ellis our things upstate. Oh great. You know officer Quinn don't you he drove Tommy and me down Sure, are you Quinn a final tenant? I had to pull up the parking area over there. We'll meet you in the squadron for copy a little later Well, somebody asked me how I am I should have half my sentence that makes me a semi-approved citizen
You look okay to meet Tommy haven't changed since you were 16 Danny, I've known you a long time. You lie. Sing, sing, does McGrew with you. Ah, sing, sing. You inhale and exhale. It's the only way you know you're living. So, I make a deal.
What kind of a deal, Tommy? I don't know. I'm saving it for the DA. After we talk to DA and me, I got a feeling the state's gonna forget all about my manslaughter rap. And let me out of sing, sing for good.
