Outstanding Writing for a Miniseries or a Movie | 2000 | Tom
According to Tom Fontana, Ed Begley Jr. is indeed playing his character Dr. Victor Ehrlich character from Fontana's previous show St. Elsewhere (1982). He is not mentioned by name to avoid having to get legal clearances.
Gary D'Addario (Jasper) is the real-life Baltimore Homicide Shift Commander on whom "Gee" is based.
Ned Beatty originally refused to reprise the role of Stan Bolander for the movie. However, his agent convinced him to join the cast.
Jason Priestley was a big "Homicide" fan, and was disappointed that he never had the chance to direct an episode of the series. Consequently, Tom Fontana wrote the part of Detective Hall for Priestly.
Although billed as a made-for-TV movie, the Emmy nominated script essentially functioned as the final episode of the series Homicide: Life on the Street (1993).
"Tim Bayliss: So, you... you'll take me in. Frank Pembleton: 'I'm gonna take you in' - are you wild? Tim Bayliss: No - you'll take me in, Frank. Frank Pembleton: [Shakes his head] No. Tim Bayliss: Did I take... a bullet for you? Huh? Frank Pembleton: No, no, cut it out... [Tim lunges at Frank] Tim Bayliss: Did I take a bullet for you or not, huh? Frank Pembleton: I am NOT taking you in... Tim Bayliss: DID I TAKE A BULLET FOR YOU? I take a bullet for you, and you take a bullet for me - now THAT is square business, Frank! Frank Pembleton: This is not taking a bullet for you, this is you wanting me to toss your ass in the jackpot! You're confessing to a murder, Tim, do you understand that? Tim Bayliss: So you want someone else should take me in? Someone else should bust me... Frank Pembleton: No. No, no... Tim Bayliss: Is that what you want? Then it HAS to be you! Frank Pembleton: NO, NO, no! No... Tim Bayliss: [Grabs Frank] Frank, listen to me! Listen. I've thought about eating my gun, and I'm gonna EAT that gun RIGHT NOW if you don't do the right thing for me, Frank, for right here! [Gestures to his head] Tim Bayliss: I have no other... no other option, Frank. Please... Frank Pembleton: [sighs] So you thought about putting a gun to yourself? Tim Bayliss: Yeah. Yeah, you'd be saving my life, I dunno for how long, but for now... at least you would. Frank Pembleton: [Takes a deep breath] I believe that you did not mean to do this killing. Tim Bayliss: ...yeah, you believe what you want to believe. That's okay. Frank Pembleton: So we're gonna turn around, right now, and we're gonna go back inside. Okay? Tim Bayliss: [Anguished, he takes out his badge] Never put off the inevitable, Frank. It's gotta be what it's gotta be. [Presses the badge into Frank's hand] Frank Pembleton: [Crying] Son of a bitch..."
"Det. Robert Hall: I know you guys are legends and all, but this is my interview. Tim Bayliss: Shut up. Det. Robert Hall: What? Excuse me? Tim Bayliss: I said, shut the hell up."
