Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Danny Sorenson was a young cop who had been working Narcotics, then was transferred to the 15th Squad to take over for the late Bobby Simone. He encountered some resentment at first, from Andy Sipowicz, who had been Bobby's partner, and from Bobby's widow Diane Russell. What were Andy's first words to Danny upon meeting him?

Answer: "So, that's what 14-year-olds are wearing now?"

Sure, Andy's going to say something nice! He made fun of Danny's somewhat preppy dress style, till Danny proved himself out on the streets. It didn't take too long for Andy to accept him, especially considering that he had taken Bobby's death extremely hard. Also, it seemed that Danny reminded Andy of his late son, Andy Jr., who was killed "on the job."
2. Sorenson had a fairly serious romance with a woman cop soon after he joined the Squad. It ended because Danny had eyes for Diane Russell, and only Diane. Who was the woman Danny dumped?

Answer: Mary Franco

Danny met Mary Franco when she came to work at the 15th Precinct. Mary tried very hard to get close to Danny, but Danny seemed to have been attracted to Diane Russell from the minute he first saw her. As soon as Danny felt he might have a chance with Diane, that was it for Mary.
3. Danny and Diane became friends, and ended up having a brief romance. It didn't last long, even though Danny was desperately in love with her. Why did Diane break it off?

Answer: Diane still wasn't over Bobby's death

Diane Russell wasn't over Bobby's death at all, and felt that she was betraying Bobby's memory by having a romance with Danny. After a few nights together, they decided to be "just friends". Although Danny put on a good face for Diane, he was actually distraught over the breakup. (Diane did date Bobby's former doctor, but that was later on.)
4. Hugely upset over the break-up with Diane, Danny began to have problems at work. He gave a bad beating to a suspect in a murder case, and was suspended for it. What effect did this have on Danny's career?

Answer: He was reinstated after Andy saved the case

Sipowicz was able to solve the case in question, and Danny was off the hook for the moment. He was warned that if he messed up again, he'd be out of a job. However, despite all his assurances to the contrary, he remained obsessed with Diane Russell. Diane began dating Victor, Bobby's former doctor, and they seemed to be very happy. One night, they ended up in her apartment after a date.

In one of the most dramatic moments in this story, we see Diane and Victor kissing, and then we see Danny Sorenson sitting in his parked car below Diane's apartment window, in the dark, staring up at them.
5. A stripper was murdered at a seedy club, and Sipowicz and Sorenson were assigned to the case. Danny Sorenson immediately became involved with Kristen, another dancer at the strip joint.

Answer: True

Kristen was young, very pretty, and seemingly different from the more hardened women dancers. Soon after the detectives left the club, she came into the squad to give the detectives more information about the murder. She agreed to wear a wire to trap the stripper's killer.

The plan was a success. Afterwards, Danny told Kristen that he would see her that night at the club. Sipowicz heard this, and was not happy, knowing that Danny was asking for trouble.
6. Joey Schulman, the manager of the strip club, approached Danny for a favor. What was the favor he asked of Danny?

Answer: He wanted Danny to check out an employee of the club

Danny continued to date Kristen, the stripper. He went to the club for lunch to meet her; at that time, Joey Schulman, the club manager, asked Danny to run a check on someone. Sorenson proceeded to tell his boss, Lieutenant Rodriguez, about the conversation.

The lieutenant gave Danny the okay to run the check, keeping it confidential from everyone, including Danny's partner, Andy Sipowicz. Late that night, Andy received word that Sorenson was at the strip club, drunk and fighting with an obsessed fan of Kristen. Andy was furious, afraid that Danny would lose his job.

He took Danny home and got him sobered up. They talked things out and parted on good terms. It would be the last time Andy saw Danny alive.
7. The next day, Sorenson didn't show up for work. Andy and Connie McDowell finally went to Danny's apartment to look for him. Danny was gone. What did they find in Danny's apartment?

Answer: Kristen was found dead there

Sipowicz and McDowell tried to find Sorenson. Sipowicz learned from Lieutenant Rodriguez that Sorenson had begun to work undercover at the club, and he was furious that he hadn't been informed. He and Connie McDowell forced Joey Schulman to give them information about the club's mob connections, which they hoped would help them to find Danny.

As it turned out, the Feds had been watching the club for some time, and one of their undercover men had gone missing as well. (The undercover agent later turned up dead.) Danny was nowhere to be found.
8. How much time passed before Danny was finally located after he was last seen by Andy at his apartment?

Answer: Five months

Five months passed before the squad finally got a tip that took them to where Danny was buried.
9. How was Danny's body finally found?

Answer: Informant Julian knew where a body was buried-it was Danny's

In the course of another investigation, Julian Pisano, an informant, told the detectives he knew where a body was buried. Julian then took them to the site. The first thing they found on the body was Danny's detective shield. Sipowicz was beside himself with grief. The detectives insisted that Julian wear a wire to obtain evidence against the man that murdered Danny Sorenson.
10. Who killed Danny Sorenson?

Answer: A mob goon named Max Legasi killed him

Mob goon Max Legasi killed Danny Sorenson. He wrapped Danny's body in a rug and got Julian to help him bury it. Legasi was shot dead by the detectives while resisting arrest. The reason for Danny's killing: it was discovered that he was spying on the gangsters who ran the strip club, that he was double-crossing them. Thus ended the short and melancholy life of Detective Danny Sorenson.
