NYPD Blue - You Saw A Pretty Face, You Had To Mess It Up !!!

4X11 - Alice Doesn't Fit Here Anymore - 1/14/1997

[@skylordsix]

"If it was someone in my family, I'd want Andy on the case" Lt Fancy

[@StevieGPT]

THAT summed up the level of respect Fancy had towards Andy's dedication to the task, whether it was a "creative" interview with smokes and a coffee or "beep-beep" or the dogged pursuit of the criminal and resolution (Bochy case)

[@charlesfortrsqueminor2120]

NY detective early20th called Johnny Broderick.

[@seanmulloy854]

Such a great line. And accurate.

[@kelvinclinkscale6580]

I agree because Andy and Lt.Fancy don't mess around and they mean business

[@bredrew1990]

Fancy knew Andy was going to be the only one to get a confession out of him. And he was of course right. 👍

[@georgeedward1691]

At least Andy apologized🤣🤣. Fun fact that the dude andy was slappin around was the guy that played Chris Moltacintys friend in the Sopranos. I'm not sure of his name but he's a great actor. He seems to always takes the douchebag roles in shows tho.

[@tomlewis9207]

Good boss. Knows his best talent for the situation.

[@jasbarsoph]

@@georgeedward1691 Brendan Filone was a recurring character portrayed by Anthony DeSando. He was a friend of Christopher Moltisanti and an associate of the Soprano crew.

[@onesixfive]

When he takes his jacket off, the look Bobby gives him, everybody is on the level, but nobody says a thing.

[@WhiteScarsEmo]

The fact that Andy left without a comment, a quip or comeback is very telling.

[@pullybungieharder]

Which is why all these cops are corrupt and should go to jail, not get gold badges. Confessions through torture and beatings are not only unconstitutional, when discovered they free guilty people by getting evidence thrown out and frequently get innocent people convicted. But Andy's character did this all the time, and the others went along with it. That's how people get beaten to death for stealing a cigarette.

[@kristysuggs3282]

Andy was a righteous avenging angel. One of the greatest TV characters of all time. A very flawed human being but a man with tremendous character. I miss this show.

[@lothartheterrible]

His evolution as a character is one of my favorites ever.

[@kypdurron62]

The problem is twenty thousand cops in this country that think they're as right as a TV cop and beat people up because they're sure they're right.

[@oldcdog91]

It was great the way this episode and the next one (or the one after) highlighted how different officers had different ways to be effective. Medavoy was feeling down because he couldn’t get a confession from this guy, then came back in a later episode and got an emotionally unstable guy to confess to a double homicide by being understanding. Such an amazing show.

[@rudolphclancy8293]

Medavoy was a better liar than Sipowicz, and could get inside someone's head to make them think confessing was their decision.

[@jaywilson4520]

Love Andy's attitude at 2:01 when he gets the word to interview the guy: "Time to go to work."

[@joen0411]

One of his best interrogations. Just the way Andy acts all nice before he hits him and apologizing after. Not sure which is better, this one or the one where he beeps. They might be tied for first.

[@houseviking4352]

That one is poetic. Abusers often do that, be over-the-top nice and then violent so you never know when to be afraid so you're always afraid. Andy just gave the dude his own medicine.

[@andyt2k]

I think part of the apologizing is mocking the sex offenders, domestic abusers etc who do that stuff

[@jamesdrynan]

With all the people who confessed to their crimes, the defense lawyers must have had a tough job in court.

[@josephhodges9819]

Coercion is not an interrogation. A real interrogation does not require violence.

Funny thing is, as a pothead, well before it was legal for rec use in New Jersey, back when cops were my enemy by default, this when it was on tv was one of my favorite shows. Hate cops but love cop shows.

CLASSIC Andy! That gut needed a good tune-up, like so many perps in the precinct did. And Fancy knew JUST the man to give it to him!👮‍♂👮‍♀😎

[@doggcrapper1]

I love everything about this scene. Fancy protecting Gina from having to look at the guy and Andy being nice and confusing the hell out of the guy before going hard at him. If you think a rapist deserves anything less than how Andy treated him I've got nothing to talk about with you.

[@WithoutRemorse12]

He said he didn't want her to testify in court.

[@YouTube-tied]

A way for a conflicted man but an honest and devoted public servant to clean up the trash and serve his community. What a joy to watch Sipowiz come along for so many years.

[@SHADOWS1]

THAT'S the way it's done!

thank you for introducing me to this amazing series. youtube randomly had one of your vids in my suggestions a few weeks ago. i had heard of nypd blue but never seen it. now after watching your clip i binged the first three seasons and can not believe what i was missing. the acting, storytelling, characters and overall production is 10/10 across the board. i can’t wait to binging the rest of the seasons. 💙🤘🏽

[@64MDW]

An outstanding tune-up.

[@audrab27]

A true example of he understood the assignment lol

[@carlhicksjr8401]

Medavoy could have gotten that confession. But we viewers wanted to see Andy light that fool up. And you know, Medavoy was one of the most annoying characters in the show for me... his social awkwardness, his inappropriate comments. But there were some things that Medavoy could do that Andy and Bobby couldn't do. That was part of the great writing in the show.

[@WhiteScarsEmo]

As a person, Medavoy was a bit annoying, but not offensively so. As a detective, he earned his seat and wasn't a bumbler, so I give him that.

[@crupert23225]

Medavoy got the ladies, though! Somehow, he got the ladies.

[@carlhicksjr8401]

@@crupert23225 He got TWO ladies. I will fully grant you that Gail O'Grady was a show-stopper, but right after Greg and Donna got together Gail left the show. Mary Kay Keller ['Brigit Schofield'] showed up in the last season as Greg Medavoy's 'happy ending'. As far as I remember, those were the only two.

Justice served....with a smoke and a coffee.

[@TheStuport]

The Epitome of a One Man Scene when Andy plays both "Good Cop, Bad Cop". It's a serious situation concerning a tragic event, yet a part of me does chuckle when Andy goes from one extreme to another and back in a matter of seconds and keeps "the interrogation" going smoothly. It's similar to when I hear "You never want to know how sausage is made! My immediate answer is Why not?, I'm still going to eat my links and or patties! No worries!

[@Wulfman317]

Coffee, cigarettes, a tune up and justice!

[@bassman8144]

And after that Brendan hooked up with the Soprano crew and no one ever messed with him again….

[@Mike-pb6lw]

Whateva happened there

[@ultimate0706]

But he never came back after Mikey Palmice was through with him!

[@bjam72727]

This and the scene from Season 2 Episode “Bombs Away” illustrate how Fancy communicates with Sipowicz without actually saying directly what he wants. In the “Bombs Away” episode Fancy asks if a suspect in custody may have more bombs planted in public. Sipowicz says he believed the suspect was planning something else, meaning yes he thinks there are more bombs out there. Fancy doesn’t say anything but gives a look. The look of do whatever necessary to get the suspect to give it up.

[@johnmcaree7298]

Is it wrong to be disappointed that he gave it up that easy without a REAL betting being handed down?

Poor Greg! He so wanted to be like Andy, but it just wasn't in him!! I can't imagine anyone else playing the part of Greg except Gordon Clapp. He was perfect in the role, but then all the actors were perfectly cast. Can you imagine anyone else except Franz playing Andy? Or anyone but Jimmy Smits playing Bobby? What about Sylvia? I can't imagine anyone but Sharon Lawrence in that role. By far the best show ever!
