Captain Video

Denny "Captain Video" Voss shoots a crime scene, testifies in court, and winds down at CBGB and Katz's — until a second pager call turns personal.

Flashback chapter — Denny Voss's first week on the job, December 1980, and a second scene six years later in 1986. Origin story for the exhaustion seen in Chapter 1.

A late-night callout takes Denny into the subway tunnels beneath Manhattan to document a gruesome accidental death — a self-contained case-of-the-week vignette.

Denny investigates why Angie's apartment was specifically targeted, crossing professional boundaries — ends with a clue pointing back at his own casework.

A one-night vignette: a violent nightmare in the video-library closet, a decomposition scene in the meatpacking district, and a quiet unraveling on the drive home. Denny's glasses crack for the first time.

Set the same Sunday night as "Heart of Glass," before Denny's glasses crack. An off-duty night photographing Blondie at CBGB with his personal Leica turns dark when he finds an overdose victim in the bathroom. Draft — unpublished, sits after chapter 8 internally.

1986 flashback vignette: a pre-dawn Central Park crime scene, the grind of hauling gear back to One Hogan Place, a tired elevator exchange, and the exhausted tail end of a night shift.

Denny finally acts on the case-log connection from "Only Her Door" — pulling his own old tape, confronting what it means, and deciding who to tell. Angie and Petrosino return.

Denny is called out to shoot the aftermath of a subway shooting on the IRT — a cleared, graffiti-tagged car, evidence markers, a case that gets logged and shelved. Original fiction, not a depiction of any real incident.

Denny travels to a small New Hampshire town to film Walter Prewitt's surrender and statement — the confession tape for the "Five Dollars" case. Original fiction; not a depiction of any real person or event.

Denny's nightmares — the tape victims coming alive off the shelves at him in the video library closet — push him to finally seek help from Dr. David Zhou, a modern herbal medicine practitioner in a basement clinic near Chinatown, once an old opium den. Set before "Five Dollars" in Denny's internal timeline.

An off-duty night for Denny — dinner with his girlfriend Kris at Umberto's alfresco tables in Little Italy — turns into a chilling near-miss when a lone gunman opens fire at the same restaurant the very next night, gunning down a mob figure and hitting bystanders. Introduces Kris and Tom (NYDA morning shift).

A testimony chapter based on the creator's own account of September 11, 2001. Denny's ordinary commute breaks into witnessing the attack on the World Trade Center. Draft — unpublished.
