This was one of the best episodes in the entire series. Andy was cheated out of his First Grade after solving this case. His professionalism with the victim's father and going above and beyond was what solved this case.
Can talk about how this scene is shot for a second. Andy is trying to multitask on the phone, a man breathing down his neck, and andy jr trying to buy a car. All the quick, shakey shots with focus jumping from Andy to Andy Jr. & Mr. Bucci. Beautiful framing
I know. 👍 It raises the urgency of Andy's suspicion. His cop instincts were running; trying to watch out for junior AND maybe get some redemption/results! Stay Safe! 👍
Once Andy Zero's in on a "Target", he is NOT quitting till all of His EYES are dotted and his TEES are crossed. With all that was going on he was NOT going to let Mr. White slip away and possibly never be seen again.......unfortunately like poor Mr. Bucci's daughter. Great follow up clip! Cheers From Ohio
Reminder that so much good police work is not about movie script type of stuff, it's the tedious work of phone calls, lists, BMV registrations. And instinct. All of the above from Sipowicz in this. One of the few shows to show real police work. And doggedness. Hypothetically this guy maybe wasn't involved. But the box of questioning this guy needed checked. Good police work means follow it up (just in case).
I skipped ahead and watched this episode last night. He had the guy hovering over him to use the phone, his kid nervous about spending too much money, father who wants to know what’s going on. I would have hit someone by now.
I deleted my comment yesterday because i didn't want to spoil this...but when Andy brought that girl out I had a lump in my throat the size of a baseball
For the 4000th time: never, ever, NEVER, talk to a cop without a lawyer. You say, "am I under arrest? No. Then give me your card detective, I'll call my lawyer, and we'll set up a meeting later this week some time, in about four days maybe."
Say what you want tough guy, but people with nothing to hide, don't break the polices balls. I'm sure a solid citizen such as yourself does have his lawyer on speed-dial. "For the 4,000th time..." you're a creep. I know who you voted for.
True, but that would make for a boring show. I once asked a lawyer friend of mine how realistic the original "Law&Order" series was, and he said that it was about as realistic as it could be, considering the fact that it couldn't put the audience to sleep with how boring court proceedings actually are
If White had got his lawyer involved that would have raised the Detective's suspicions even more - after all White was supposed to be Bucci's friend and would want to help in any way to find the child?
I always got chills when Andy says, "but Jenny was alive when you last saw her??"
I am so old, it took me several viewings to realize the pay phone dates this vid more than the whole row of cars. 😁

This ^^^^^^^
The next episode...when they finally rescue her...gives me chills. I get chills just writing about it. Amazing sequence in an incredible show...
For sure one of the best eps of the series.
He also caught a con artist private detective milking boochie in an episode somewhere before this one.
Wellllll...he did neglect to read the guy his Miranda rights. In real life, very possible the case would have gotten tossed.
Andy was multitasking through this scene as he purchased the car for Andy Jr. and investigating the case at the same time.
Even tho I know what's coming, this storyline still gets something in my eyes to this day.

I wonder if lt. Columbo was his uncle
There's a reason why Lt. Fancy said "if it was one of my family members, I'd want Andy on the case".
@@skylordsix Both were highly professional and good judges of character, (or lack.)
@@skylordsix Great point Skylord!
One of my favorite episodes of NYPDB.
As soon as the guy was hesitant to talk, Andy was like a shark with blood in the water - that guy’s getting questioned right friggin now
This is my all time favorite episode. Great writing.

One of the best episodes of all.

00:32 seconds, when Andy starts yellow at the guy when he is on the phone cracked me up.

Me too
Me too !!
Perfectly done. When he appears in the doorway alone and then the girl emerges from behind him is a heart-stopping moment. Pure gold.
Best story line of the entire series.
Getting closer.
Excellent episode👍👍👍👍
One of the best
I like how they found the weaseliest actors for the worst perps in this show.
What A Great Way To End Off The 1st Season of this Great Show
Awesome scene
Other stuff here. Cold wind blowing. Low winter sun. Yet nice and cosy. Go figure, except good writing and direction. Supreme show.
Where was this lot?
Did the same actor that played Mr. Bucci here also play Det. LaRue's brother in law on Hill Street Blues?
What's funny is he also sold cars. 🤠
This is a great scene.
Right at 2:12 you see Charlotte’s best gay friend Anthony lol. From Sex and the City.
Good Eye ! You are correct www.imdb.com/title/tt0656390/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cl_sm
Lastarza the organized crime inspector playing the auctioneer in this episode
Great television
sure that guy was Andy's brother in law in hill st blues pulling the same old scam hahahahaha
A Seville, the man has good taste
One Donut...
Yep, soon!
