I got a street informant,

Told me
She was with her boyfriend

When he gets a page
To go meet a guy

Down by the foot of main street

And bring him
A quarter ounce of coke,

And, um, the boyfriend says

He's got to go cut his product
With some laxative

Because he knows this guy's
Going to rip him off,

And she says,
"What are you going for

If you know
You're going to get ripped?"

And he said
'cause it's his protection.

His protection, meaning?

A cop, a member.

Her boyfriend's under the pier.

So where's
Your informant now?

Out of town for a while.

Got on a bus
Early this morning.

All right, well,
Let's go have a look.

He's been shot 10, 11 times
With a small caliber,

Probably a .22--

The arms, the legs,

Then probably kicked off
The pier,

And he drowns.

That'd be sending
Some kind of message,

Don't you think?

Yeah, something
Along the lines of

"Don't water down my dope."

Hey, your informant
Know anything

About who this cop could be?

Says not.

You don't question
Anything your informant says?

So far, she's been solid
On everything.

Yeah, no shots to the head.

No.

Shot in the limbs that way,
That's not common.

I checked him
For the pager.

It's not on him.

Could be in the drink.

Yeah, it's pretty deep
All around here.

Good luck
Finding it.

Got to take a look anyway.

How'd you find him?

I just came down

Looking for where she told me
He was meeting the guy,

Saw the blood
Up there on the pier,

Then just started
Looking around,

Spotted him down here.

Tide washed him up
The way he is now.

Well, we'd better
Get the body out

Before the tide
Comes back in again.

Okay, so let me
Get this straight.

Your informant calls,

Says her boyfriend
Hasn't come home,

And you came down here
And found him,

Is that right?

Yeah, I was first
On the scene.

Okay. Hang around
For forensics,

But don't let the body get away.

Do you still partner
With brian?

Yeah.

He's not
Working today?

He's right behind you.

Okay, so both you guys
Came to the scene this morning.

Yeah.

Hey, morning, brian.

Hey, thanks
For getting on top of this

Right away.

Yeah, no problem.

Don't say we never
Did nothing for you.

Suk, we got a call.

You need us anymore
Down here?

No, I'm good.

Listen, I'll need
To talk to your informant,

So if you could set
That up for me...

I can try.

All right, well,
You know where I am.

Excuse me,
Mr. Da vinci.

Yeah?

Richard westerbrook.
My wife, barbara.

Do you remember us?

Sure. How are you doing?

Do you mind
If we sit down?

No, no, absolutely not. Please.

We, uh...

We understand

That there's been
Another incident

Involving
Glen moorehouse.

Yeah, that's right.

Well, glen,
You might remember,

Is our ex-son-in-law.

Of course.

Well, we understand

That there's been
Another fire,

And that he's lost...

He lost his second family,
A wife and two kids.

That's right,

But, uh, we're investigating
That fire right now--

Excuse me--

And I can't really discuss it
With you.

I'm sorry.

But we just wondered
About the fire

That took our daughter's life
Five years ago,

If you've thought about

The similarities
To that fire.

They weren't that similar,

And as I say,

As difficult as it is for me
Not to answer your questions,

I can't, okay?

As I say,
We're investigating,

And I can't discuss it.

No, of course not, because if
You were wrong

About the fire
That killed our daughter

And glen moorehouse
Has done it again,

Set another fire

And killed his new family,

Well, then,

That would reflect badly on you,
Wouldn't it?

Can I explain something to you?

Can I get the check?

I investigated the fire
That killed your daughter

Very carefully, very carefully.

I was very careful,
We were all very careful,

And in light
Of this recent fire,

We are looking back at it,

Re-assessing the--

So you think
You might've been wrong.

No, I didn't say that.
No, no, no.

I'm not saying
Anything.

I'm the type of person

That says things
When they shouldn't,

And then I get into
A lot of trouble with my boss,

So you'll have to
Just accept my apology

And excuse me, okay?

I'm sorry.

You know, we came
To a conclusion.

It was based
Upon the evidence,

And the evidence
Was very clear.

Right, okay, the evidence,

See, that's why
We came here.

That's why we wanted
To talk with you.

Do you remember roseanne carson?

Roseanne carson?

I think I do.

She lived
Across the street

From our daughter's
House.

She's a neighbor.

She witnessed the fire.

Yeah, okay...

Yeah, roseanne.
Right.

Well, she called us.

Actually, she's the one
Who told us about this new fire.

She read about it and called us.

She remembered something.

Did she say
What she remembered?

Well, we think it's better
That you hear that from her.

We think the right thing
Is that you hear that from her.

I think
You're right too.

I'll call her today.

Yes, you'll call her,
But will you listen to her?

I'm not sure
What you mean there.

Well, mrs. Carson said

When you spoke with her
The first time,

You treated her
In a kind of

Dismissive manner.

Oh, I did?

She said
That you confused her.

I confused her?

Well, I don't know what to say

About why she would go ahead
And say something like that.

I really don't know, but...

Look, I sympathize
With you,

But I really
Have to get going.

If I get some
More information,

I will call you.

You should've called us
Right away.

We deserve
That consideration.

Instead, we have to
Hear it secondhand.

We have to read about it
In the newspaper.

You're totally right.

You do deserve better than that.

I'm sorry.

This shouldn't
Have happened.

Look, I do actually have to go.

I'll call you. I promise.

Sorry.

Come on.

So the doctor's
Telling me

That he wants to test my wife
For a bipolar disorder,

And I'm saying,
"She's got alzheimer's.

What's the point?"

And he's telling me

There could be
Other contributing factors

Which account
For when she gets agitated,

And he wants to know

Did she ever
Have mood swings before.

We're married.

Everybody has mood swings.
You put up with it.

It's just an excuse
To add some more drugs

To the cocktail

They've already
Got her on

And ding the government
For the cost,

Which comes
Out of my pocket

And out of your pocket.

The healthcare system.

Gone insane.

It's being run
By a bunch of monkeys

In a monkey cage,

You know what I'm saying?

Hey.

Hey.

What?

What'd I just say?

I don't know. Monkeys.

You dozed off there, you know.

Are you okay?

You've been looking
A little ragged lately.

No, I'm okay.

It's just those pills
The doc's been giving me

To make me
Sleep better.

They give me
Kind of a hangover.

You've got to
Watch those things.

They're addictive.

No worries about that.

I don't like
The way they make me feel.

Not at all.

So, what,
You're not sleeping?

I had insomnia
For a couple of weeks,

But I'm okay now.

Yeah?

Yeah, I'm fine.

It's all right.

This is it.

Here we go.

Oh, what's she doing here?

Relax. It's a robbery.
She caught the case.

That's how it is.

Every time
I turn around,

She's popping up.

Leo. Mick.

Rose. What's this?

I thought this was a homicide.

It was a robbery,

But now that the victim
Died in the ambulance,

It is a homicide.

I got the call

Because
I've been working

A string
Of gas station robberies

Up and down this strip
For a month.

Anything else you want to know?

Yeah.
Who's dead, and who did it?

The victim's name
Is gloria spender.

The shooter could be

One of the guys
I've been chasing.

You think this one's connected
To those robberies?

I don't know.

I'm looking for two guys,
Natives.

It could be them.
I don't know.

Do you know
What time this went down?

About an hour ago.

They grabbed the cash,
Shot the clerk,

Which is a wrinkle on my guys,

'cause they haven't
Shot anybody yet.

We got any witnesses?

Uh, don't know yet,

But the owner
Has a video surveillance system.

Maybe that'll help.

He's setting it up
For us now

In his office.

Let's go inside,

And you can show us.

The victim
Was behind the counter here.

The owner
The one who found her?

Yeah, he was coming in
For the shift change,

Saw the mess,
And then he saw her.

He said it looked like

She'd been shot
In the chest.

I confirmed that

With the paramedic
In the ambulance.

I just got off the phone
With him.

He also told me that
When his team got here,

That she had a rag
Stuffed on her chest

And a coat
Under her head.

I asked the owner
If he did that.

He said that's
The way he found her.

All he did
Was call 911.

The bullet?

Still in the cabinet?

Yeah.

Okay, we'll get ident
Down here,

We'll start a survey,
See if anybody saw anything.

I've already
Done that.

Okay, we'll talk
To the owner, then.

Yeah, okay.
Let's do that.

He's in his office
Back here.

And if I find out

Who it is
That sent those westerbrooks

Down there where I have
My breakfast in peace,

Am I ever going
To give them a rocket.

Okay...

Now, why didn't she testify
At the first inquest?

I can't remember.

It was, like, five years ago.

Well, um,

She was the neighbor

Who saw glen moorehouse
Leave his house

The morning
Of the original fire,

And you said that
You had her statement,

So you didn't
Need her.

I said that?

Mm-hmm.

Um, you've got something
On your face.

I do?

Mm-hmm.

Other side.
Other side.

Got it?

Yeah.

The westerbrooks

Seemed pretty satisfied
That you did a good job

On their daughter's
Investigation.

I remember you got
A thank-you card at the time.

Well, no cards today.

Oh.

They really
Blindsided me.

I don't like that.

Did you go off on them?

Do we owe them a card now?

No, I did not
Go off on them.

Okay.

They were just
Very upset,

And I don't really blame them,
Either.

They want to know
If I made the right call or not,

And I'd like to know
The same thing,

Quite frankly.

What's your take on this?

Do you think that
There's a chance

That first fire
Was not an accident?

No, you were right.

The first fire was accidental,

And the inquest jury

Came to
The same conclusion,

Which makes
The second fire

Just a horrible coincidence.

Right?

Right.

What are the odds on that?

Pretty poor.

That the time there,
Along the top?

Yeah.

What's this here?

Yeah, okay,
This is about 7:30.

I came in about 8:00.

This could be it.

Let me see.

Okay, yeah,
That's one of them for sure.

Yeah?

I got four other
Video surveillance tapes

With these guys
On them.

Yep, and there's
The other one.

I can't see
Anybody's faces.

That's why they got
The ball caps.

You been able to get an I.D.

On any of these guys?

No, not yet.

Look, she's getting him
The cigarettes.

It's always the same.

The pack of cigarettes
Gets the cash drawer open.

Now he's got
A rifle here.

30-30, lever action.
That's new.

They were using knives before.

He's yelling
Something at her.

Yeah, like
"Give me the money."

Why doesn't she
Give him the money?

She's just standing there.

The other guy's yelling.

She knows to give him the money.
Give him the money.

No, she's grabbing
The rifle barrel.

Now, that's not
A good idea.

Aw, geez.

He's pissed at his partner.
Look at him.

Yeah.

Now he's trying
To help her.

Too little, too late.

Yeah, now they
Don't know what to do,

Take the money,
Or what.

Okay, you can
Stop it here, bud.

Yeah, okay.

We're going to need
To take the tape.

God, that was terrible.
It was just awful.

Why...Why didn't she just
Give them the money?

Thank you.

Yeah.

I got a big file
On these guys,

Plus the other
Videotapes.

You're going to want
To see those.

I'll get it all
Together and find you.

Yeah. Fine.

There she is again,
Angling in.

She gets a little opening,
And she slips right through.

No, her interest
Is legit.

She's a little weasel.

You leave your cooler
Open a crack,

She'll be in there
Stealing your lunch.

You told
The westerbrooks

That you had
Some new information

About that fire across
The alley five years ago.

I, uh,
Don't want to talk to you.

I told
The westerbrooks

Everything I remember
About the fire.

Please, you should just
Ask them.

I'm sorry,
I can't do that.

See, you have to tell me
What you told them.

I have to hear it from you.

That's how it works.

You're not going to
Yell at me again, are you?

I don't think
I did yell at you.

You were very loud
And abrasive.

Sorry.
I won't get loud.

It was traumatic.

Okay, I promise
I won't yell at you

If you just tell me
What you remember

About that fire,

What you told the westerbrooks,
Okay?

Please.

Well, all right, then.

Okay, thank you.

Okay,
I've got your statement here.

Five years ago.

Can you tell me exactly

What you told
The westerbrooks,

If you would?

Well, let's see.

The morning
That the fire broke out

Was a sunday,

And I remember, at the time,

You asked me what did I see,
Did I see anything,

And I said yes,

I saw glen
Leaving his house

At about 10:00 in the morning.

Okay.

Well, that's according
To your statement.

And then you asked me
How I knew it was 10:00,

Was I sure,
What clock did I check,

Did I need glasses.

Okay, sorry.

And I said I knew the time

Because I was on the way
To my son's birthday brunch.

Oh, that's right, yeah.

You always have breakfast
With your son

On your birthday.

His birthday.

I have to leave here by 10:00
If I want to be there on time.

Okay.
Has any of that changed now?

Well, yes.

You see, it's
The day, sunday,

And just last sunday,

We changed the time back.

Remember,
We put the clocks back an hour?

Same thing happened
Five years ago.

The day that the fire broke out,

I was an hour
Too early

For my son's
Birthday brunch,

And he wasn't even
Out of bed yet.

Okay, well, I'm not
Really following you here.

Well, I don't always remember
To put my clocks back.

I have a lot of clocks.

I've got the vcr,
The coffee machine, the tv...

I always get confused
Putting the time back,

And sometimes,
I forget to do it,

And last sunday,
I forgot again,

And that's when I realized

That I was too early
For my son's birthday brunch,

And I remembered, well,

I must have had the time wrong.

Okay, so,
If I can put this in my words,

You thought it was 10:00

When you saw mr. Moorehouse
Leave his home,

10:00 in the morning,

But it wasn't 10:00,
It was 9:00

Because you forgot
To change the clocks.

But I thought it was 10:00,

And the clocks said 10:00,

And so that's why
I told you that.

And nobody asked you
About that,

About the time change?

No.

But I would have remembered
If you had have.

Well, easy to forget.
Everybody forgets that one.

I know I do.

Okay.

Yeah.

Now, can I just ask
One more question?

And then I promise I'll go.

Okay.

Okay.

Why would you
Have called the westerbrooks

And told them
All of this?

And I have to hear it
From them.

All you did
Was wind them up, okay.

Well, because I know them,
And I knew their daughter,

And then I read about
The second fire in the paper--

I understand,

But all you did was,
Really, wind them up,

Unnecessarily perhaps,

And then
Now they're thinking boy,

"We didn't get
A fair investigation," and...

Well, they feel cheated,
Is what they feel,

Because
They put their trust in you,

And look what's happened.

Their son-in-law's gone
And done it again.

No, we don't know that.

See, that's the point here.

It might well have been
An accident.

Yeah, well,
What are the odds of that?

All right.

That's about it,
Then.

Thanks for taking the time.

You're not certain, though,
Are you?

You're not certain
That you made this mistake

Changing the clocks
Or not changing the clocks?

That's speculation
On your part,

Speculation,
Correct?

Yeah, I guess it could be--

Thanks. Okay.

You've been very helpful.

So far, I've got
The meeting scheduled
For tuesday evening.

I'm hoping
That works for you?

Hey, sergeant,
Can I have a word?

Rose, you know
Jack pierce?

No, I don't think so.

Rose williams.

Jack pierce.

Rose works
Robbery division,

Jack pierce,
On city council.

Yep, you know what?

I remember
You now--

The heat versus the street
Softball team.

You hurt your ankle
Trying to steal home.

Yeah. Yeah, that was me.

I remember I was supposed
To be playing first.

I got injured
And had to sit out.

Well, there's always
This year.

Anyway,
I've got to run.

Listen, if I can ever be
Of any assistance, detective,

Just give me a call.

Whatever I can do...

And I'll see you
At the meeting.

Great. Thank you.

Nice to see you again.

So, rose,

What can I do for you?

Uh, I was going
To ask,

I caught a homicide
This morning,

Part of a string
Of robberies

I've been working--

Right, the
Gas stations, right?

Yeah, yeah.

The couple of guys
That I'm looking for,

They're involved,

And I'd like
To stay on it.

You want to see it through?

Yes, I do.

Well, your sergeant thinks

I'm trying to poach you,

So I think we should just
Let him keep you busy for now.

So you know,
I'm ready for the move up.

I know. Just not yet.

Okay?

One other thing.

Mm?

Jack pierce...

Mm-hmm.

This councilman,

His name's ringing a bell
About something,

But it's not about baseball.
It's something else.

What's that?

Well, I'm not really sure
About this,

But you're on
Some kind of committee with him

Looking
Into prostitution reform.

I didn't know
It was common knowledge,

But yeah.

Yeah, well,

Evidently the drug squad's
Been looking at a house,

Observing it,

A lot of coke going in and out,

You know.

A lot of hookers
Work out of there as well,

And I heard

They got a councilman going in
And coming out.

What are you saying,
It's jack pierce?

I'm not 100% sure on that.

All I know
Is that they got the guy

On a surveillance tape.

Do me a favor--
Find out who's got what on who.

If it's jack pierce,

I want to know exactly
What the story is.

I can check it out.

Good. Let me know.

Okay.

I'll take a blt.
Crispy up the bacon.

Okay.

What are you having?

Blt.

Yeah, sounds good.

No mayo.

Sure.

And a coffee.

Great.

Thanks.

Okay, so here's what I know.

These two guys
Hit their first gas station

About a month ago.

Are you going
To eat?

Uh, no.

Okay.

We'll take a look
At what you've got.

The first one

Was just a grab-the-cash
And get-out.

The second robbery
Was a little more bold.

They stayed a little longer,
They took the cash,

Took a couple dozen
Cartons of cigarettes.

The next two robberies,
Same thing,

Only they added
The ball caps,

Tried to hide
Themselves a little.

Did you get
A better good look at them

On any of those other
Surveillance tapes?

Yeah, like I said,

They were two
Native guys,

One maybe 20,

The other one
Maybe 35, 40.

I got their prints.

I just couldn't match them
With anything on file.

There's no record
Of them.

What about a car?

Anybody see them getting away
In a car,

Or running away?

No.

So far, they've
Been very lucky.

We've been unlucky.

No witnesses.

Okay, well,

We'll take a look
At what you've got,

And we'll let you know.

Okay.

Well, take it easy.

You let me know
If I can be of any help.

Yeah, if anything comes up,
We'll give you a call.

Thanks, rose. Appreciate it.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

What?

Nothin'.

You know,
She's just trying to be helpful.

You know that.

Nobody's just helpful.

Hey, dominic?

Yeah?

Hold up a sec.

I've got
Something for you

On your fire victims.

What?

The mother,
Mrs. Moorehouse number two.

That's the second
Late mrs. Moorehouse?

There was carbon-based residue
In her lungs.

A lot of smoke,
Or a little bit of smoke?

Well, enough
To indicate

She'd been breathing smoke
For a while

Before the explosion.

That means there was
A fire burning there

For a significant
Amount of time.

Any idea what kind of fire?

Not yet.

I took a sample of residue
From her airways.

We're checking it
For any chemical makeup

That might give us
An answer.

That makes things
A little different,

Doesn't it?

Shot 11 times.

Apparently,

It was a drug deal
Gone sideways.

The victim
Was an ounce dealer

Who was trying to take
A bigger position

In the market,

And the informant's
Story

Is that her boyfriend,
The victim,

Got a page
To meet a customer

On the waterfront.

Whose informant is this?

Uh, suki taylor.

You met her the other day
At the ovaltine.

She works vice.

The blonde with
The dark roots, right?

With the roots, yeah.

Suki gave me
All of this.

I'm trying
To set up a meeting

With the informant,

But I don't want
To go too fast.

She's nervous, right?

I don't want
To spook her.

I understand.

What else?

Well, the victim
Told the informant

That the customer
He was going to meet...

Was a cop

That was in the habit
Of extorting dope from him,

And that he was going
To cut the product

Before he met with him.

Well, before we go
Chasing down that road,

Let's see if we can
Bring the informant

Into the fold

And offer her
Some protection, okay?

What, uh, have you got
Any other leads

Other than
What suki's given you?

Just the ballistics.

Shot 11 times,

Then kicked
Into the drink,

Probably died from drowning.

Ident is running the slugs

Looking for a possible match
Against other crimes.

Nice and nasty, huh?

Okay, let me know.

So you said it was
A gas explosion.

Yeah, that's right.

Okay, well,

There was enough smoke
In mrs. Moorehouse's lungs

To indicate prolonged exposure
To a smoldering fire.

Okay, we...

We know something
Ignited the gas,

So if there was a fire
Smoldering in the house

And it comes to spark
Or flame,

Well, that
Would have done it.

Well, okay,

But the next question
I have to ask myself is this--

Why doesn't she wake up
At the smell of the smoke?

Not everybody wakes up.

What about if the dog
Had been there, though?

What?

If the dog's in the house
And he smells the smoke,

He's going to make
Some noise.

Oh, not necessarily.

It would have been lucky
For mrs. Moorehouse

Had the dog been there,

But he wasn't.

You think

He took the dog
Out of the house

On purpose.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Maybe,

But consider this, okay?

Given what we know

About the origins
Of the first fire,

Also an explosion,

In light of the fact

That he had to get out
Of the house

To let that gas build up,

We're looking
At exactly the same scenario

In the secd house fire.

We've got the gas buildup,
The fuse,

Whatever is smoldering there,
It flames up,

And the whole thing goes up,
Everything.

Look, we've only got
The authority

To investigate
This latest fire,

And you're bringing in
Facts, previous facts.

I'm not comfortable
With that.

I'm not ignoring the fact
That I've got a guy

Who's lost his second family
To a house fire

That has the same pattern
As the first one.

I'm not comfortable
With that anymore.

Okay.

Tell you what.

I'm going to take
A long look

Into the evidence
Again,

And I'll see
What we've got.

And now you know
About the lie there.

He lied about the timeline
On the first fire, too,

And we know he lied

About what time
He left the house.

There's a whole hour
Previous to the fire

That's unaccounted for.

Yeah. Yeah, I got that.

Okay.

I really do
Appreciate

You taking
An extra look here.

That's my job.

Okay.

It's just too bad
That dogs can't talk, eh?

So you talked to
Your informant when?

About an hour and half.

What'd she say?

Doesn't want to come forward
With anything else.

That's all she knows.

She did mention

She never actually
Met the guy

Her boyfriend
Was supposed to meet,

Doesn't know
If he was a cop or not,

Or whether
Her boyfriend

Was just blowing smoke,

As was
His usual habit.

So the bit about him
Having to meet the cop

Might have been
Bull.

Yep.

You should talk to joe tang
In drugs.

He knew about the victim.

I can set it up for you.

Yeah, have joe
Give me a shout.

I've also got to talk
To your informant,

So you could tell her that
We can give her some protection.

Well,
I can tell her,

But I don't think
I can convince her.

Well, then,
Tell her the next step is

She'll get slapped
With a material witness warrant.

I think
That'll just scare her off.

She'll disappear.

She's not into testifying.

She just
Won't do it,

So I'd rather,
You know,

Reassure her everything's
Going to be okay

And see what I can get from her
Off the record.

All right,
See what you can do,

But at the end of the day,
I've got to know what she knows,

So we can work something out
Or tell it to the court later,

And tell joe to give me a shout.

Will do.

Okay. Thanks.

I've been reconstructing
The evening,

And I remember
What I had for dinner

And what was on tv.

Good.

That's real progress, eh?

That's real progress
Right there,

Don't you think?

Is anything else
Standing out for you at all?

I remember cooking,

And thinking

I should take the top
Off the stove

And check the burners.

I thought they needed cleaning.

I had trouble
Lighting the stovetop.

You mean
Trouble lighting the burner?

Yeah.

How were you having trouble?

Isn't it automatic?

It comes on when you
Turn the handle?

They do,

But one of them was flitting,
Not catching right away.

I reminded myself
I'd better clean the stove.

Maybe it was just
Dirty.

Uh-huh.

Okay.

Anything else?

I remember
Going out on the porch

For a cigarette.

Oh, I wanted to ask you

About what kind
Of, uh, cigarettes you smoke.

What's the brand?

I roll my own.

You roll your own.

Do you have an ashtray
Out there on the porch?

Uh...I don't remember.

Well, you know,

Maybe that's all you're going
To remember today, too.

You know, maybe tomorrow,
You're going to...

Some of this stuff's
Going to come back to you.

It's going to be bit by bit,
Maybe.

It seems to be coming back
Slowly.

That's good.

I had something
I had to tell you.

What was it?

What was it?

I should check my notes.

My memory
You have to worry about here.

It must be old age.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

No, I've got some good news
For you, actually.

Um, it's about
Your dog.

He's okay.
He's back.

Oh, great.

He showed up the next morning,

And a neighbor has
Been looking after him.

Oh, I was worried.

You never mentioned that dog

When we first talked.

No, I forgot about him.

Well, I guess
You had a lot to deal with.

Anyway,
That's the good news.

Your dog's okay.

Good.

Was he in the house

When the fire
Started?

No.

I was watching tv earlier,

And he was scratching
At the door

Wanting to go out,

So I decided

To take him out
For a walk.

And what time was that?

Oh, midnight, I guess,

Around there.

And how long were you gone?

Well, I don't remember
Anything about that.

I don't always go outside
With him.

I sometimes I let him run

In the neighborhood
At night.

Maybe that's why
I was on the front porch

Having a cigarette.

I was waiting
For him.

That cigarette,

Did you have that cigarette
Before you left the house,

Or were you coming
In and out of the house

Smoking the cigarette?

Do you remember that?

I don't remember.

I usually only smoke
Outside on the porch,

So I doubt
I came inside with it.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

That's about it.

Mr. Moorehouse,
I just wanted to tell you

That I'm very sorry
For your loss

And I sympathize
With you.

Thank you for visiting.

Maybe I'll try and get back down
And see you again.

I wanted to ask you,
Do you know a mr. Steadman?

Yeah, I do. Why?

Well, he came by here

And wanted to know
If I wanted someone to talk to.

I guess
He lost his daughter

In a fire.

Anyway, he said you suggested
He speak to me.

He's some sort
Of grief counselor.

Yeah, I didn't know about that.

I'll have to
Give him a call

And catch up with mr. Steadman.

Thanks for coming by.

Okay.

So what's
Your interest

In the councilman's
Extracurricular calendar?

Some kid I popped
For a robbery

Had the councilman's watch.

She said the councilman
Gave it to her.

I wanted to confirm

That the councilman
Was maybe trading favors

For some action.

Sounds like
It might be right.

It's right there.

Yeah, I see it,

In the middle
Of the block.

That stucco thing with
The blue steps.

It's, like, six or seven people

Living there,

Then you got
The prostitutes

Coming and going,

The johns,

Junkies scoring dope,

Stolen goods
For sale.

It's a regular
One-stop shop

In the neighborhood.

So how many times

You see the
Councilman

Going in there?

Seven, eight times.

He gets his card punched
One more time,

They'll give him
A freebie.

And you got tape of him going
In and out all those times?

Tape on every single visit.

And you're sure
He's soliciting sex in there?

Could be soliciting votes.

Working the room.

Yeah, working it.

So what are you going to do
With the information?

I don't know.

Bank it,

Cash it in on a rainy day.

The councilman's pro-dope.

Oh, yeah.

So the next time

He opens his yap
About that stuff,

We'll sink
His boat.

Does he ever come out
With anybody?

He's got a girl
He sees in there.

He usually comes out with her,

Brings her back
A couple hours later.

You got an I.D. On the woman?

Yeah.

It's brenda something.

Brenda eberhart.

She's 19, 20.

She's still pretty new to it.

Is brenda living
In the house?

No.

Do you know where
They go off together?

No idea.

Okay, so they go out,

They come back,

But you don't know
Where they're going,

You don't know the exact nature
Of their relationship.

It could be something else
Going on there.

You want me to tape the action
Next time?

I can get a camera up in there,
If you keep it to yourself.

You can do that?

Well, I can get it done.

I'll let you know
If I need that.

All right.

You were talking
About brian curtis

The other day,

Telling me he used to
Shake down dealers

For their stash.

Yeah, he does that.

What about joe,
His buddy in the narc squad?

You mentioned they were tight.

Yeah.

His thing is he busts you.

When you show up in court,

The weight is never what it was,
It's always light.

So he skims before he signs it
Into evidence.

Yeah, like,

If you're carrying five grams,

He takes three,
And says you were carrying two.

Small time.

Now, what about
Brian's partner,

Suki?

You saw her with
Him the other day.

Yeah...

I don't know about her.

I don't know if she's into that.

I've never heard
Anything about her.

Okay.

You know,

We had a murder
Down on the waterfront

Yesterday.

You hear anything
About that?

The guy got shot, like, 20 times
And fed to the shrimp.

What else?

Nobody's going to
Miss him much.

Except his
Girlfriend, maybe.

Yeah, right,

Like she wasn't happy
To see him go.

You know, I don't know her.

Total trash.

I'd like to talk
To her, though.

Okay, I'll see
If she's still around.

All right.

Uh, jack pierce.

I suddenly realized
I'm on this committee with him,

And I don't know much about him.

What can you tell me?

Well,

Jack, he's been on council
For five years,

And we've gone back and forth
On this red light district issue

More times
Than I want to remember,

But he's had some
Perceptive arguments,

He's done his research, and
He's rock-solid on the issues.

He's a bulldog.

Do you think we need him
On the committee?

Well, without him, our chances

Of getting this issue
On somebody else's agenda

Are pretty slim.

Well, then, I had
Some disturbing news laid on me,

And I think
You should know.

What?

Jack was caught
On tape

By the drug squad.

Okay. That's news.

Well, he was observed
Going into a known dope house,

And evidently prostitutes
Work out of there as well.

Great.

Now, that could be
All there is to it,

But it's enough

To screw
Any credility

That this committee

Has been trying
To establish.

Anybody else know about this?

A thing
This delicate

Usually springs a leak
Somewhere.

Well, that's just perfect.

That's just perfect.

Okay, well, if it's true,

If he's in that house
For the action,

He has to pull himself
Off the committee.

We can't have
Him in there.

He's got to pull
Himself out.

Well, I don't necessarily
Want to dump him.

I just want to watch our backs.

Yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Will you talk to him?

Yeah.

Okay.

I mean, it's perception
I'm worried about, right?

You know how
These things go.

Yeah.

[ knocking ]

Dominic,
How are you?

Hey, jack,
Look at that,
Right on time.

You can't be
A politician.

Here, take a seat.

So, what's the problem?

You said it was urgent.

Well, it's not
Really urgent.

Let me just
Grab the door.

Got to get the door, okay.

It's about
Our red light committee.

Uh-huh.

Got some pretty good people
On board there now.

You know, sergeant kurtz
Over in homicide?

She's on board.

Okay, she's good.

And you're still
On board?

Oh, yeah,
On board.

And there's nothing--

There's no conflict

That's going to
Prevent you

Sitting on this
Committee at all?

No.

Why?

What are you
Getting at?

I mean, this is
Starting to sound

Like an interrogation.

No, you'll know
A real interrogation

When that happens.

What?

Okay, I've heard some things
I don't like.

You've been spotted

In a known drug house,
A known brothel there.

Oh, that, that...

Man, that's funny.

What?

Well, you want to know
What's going on there,

I'll tell you.

I've got a constituent.

She's got this daughter
Who's stripping,

Getting into
Some bad company,

Maybe some dope,

Maybe a little
Hooking.

She asked me,

Would I be able
To do something about it,

So, yeah, well, you know,
Talk to the kid, that's all.

Why you?

Well, that's a good question.

I'm asking.

Because she thought I might have
Some influence on the daughter.

We're old friends.

I'm an old friend of the family.

Is that going to
Hold water?

Yeah, it'll hold water.

Okay, so there's nothing...

There's no reason
I have to ask you

To step down
From this committee?

There's nothing
Illegal or untoward

That I should worry about
Here, jack?

Nah, nah.

Okay,

That's all I needed to hear,
Really.

I just don't
Need to be

In the middle
Of a storm

Down the road
On this one.

It's taken me three long years

To get you
To pay attention to me

On prostitution in this city,

It's taken me three years

To get you to sit
On this committee,

And now I've
Finally got someone

With a big enough
Political hammer

That I maybe

Might
Get something done,

Then I hear
All this.

You're covered.

It's nothing.

Beautiful.

That's it, that's all?

Thanks for
Taking the time.

All right, well,

I'll see you
At the meeting.

Okay, nice to talk to you
About it.

Take it easy.

Okay.

Dominic, do you have a minute?

Would you come in, please?

Shut the door.

You want
The door shut?

Yeah.

Where are you on
The moorehouse fire?

Well, we're at
The beginning stages

On that one.

We decided just to
Take a look back,

Take another look
At everything.

So you think you
Maybe made a mistake

On the first fire,

That it wasn't
Accidental?

I don't think so, no.

We're just taking a look
At everything.

Well, I hate to tie your hands
On this one.

I understand the necessity
For a re-investigation,

But I can't allow
You to do it.

What?

That is, you can't do it.

I'm not really
Following you here.

You had breakfast
With the westerbrooks, right?

Yeah...

The westerbrooks
Are now threatening us

With a judicial inquiry.

You talked to them?

No, their lawyer.

Oh.

Well, they were confident
The first time around.

If they sent us a card,
They were pretty confident.

Obviously,
They've changed their mind.

Anyway, the real problem
Is that in the first fire,

There was
An inquest

And a ruling
Of accidental.

If that fire
Goes to inquest again,

We're looking at a
Conflict of interest,

And you being a
Potential witness

Against yourself,

Which we can't allow to happen.

So, are you asking me

Not to investigate
That first fire?

I can't see
How we can't not do that.

No, no,

I've asked homicide
To take it over.

Oh, okay, that's good.

Homicide.

Yeah, I've got no problem
With that.

Anything else?

No, that's it, thanks.

You know,
The cemetery out at ravenhood,

That's the nightmare
I told you it'll be--

Yeah, I'm painfully aware
Of ravenhood,

Thank you very much.

Okay.

Door open or closed?

Leave it open, please.

I could use the fresh air.

Can you get morris steadman
For me on the phone?

I've got to
Talk to him.

All right,
Am I setting a meeting?

Don't forget
The cream and sugar.

Yeah, okay.

Hi.

Hey, how you doing?

Good.
You need a menu?

No, just a thermos
Of coffee.

Sure.

Thanks.

This seat taken?

No, go ahead.

You remember me?

Josie's sister?

Yeah, of course I do.

How are you?

Not bad, not great,
Getting by.

Yourself?

Same.

I've been leaving you
Messages.

I don't know if you got them.

Yeah, I got them.

I was expecting
A phone call,

You know, just out of courtesy.

I know, I...

I apologize.

Here you go.

Keep it.

I thought
You might want to talk to me

About a couple of things.

I need to set
A few things right.

Okay.

Were you having an affair
With her?

No.

Because I found something
In her diary

That might indicate you were.

Can we talk about this
Another time?

When?

I don't know exactly when.

It's just that I'm in the middle
Of something right now.

My partner's in the car.

I really have to go.

Don't brush me
Off again, please.

I will call you.

I'm going to take you
At your word.

Did you get the
Cream and sugar?

Ah, no.
Let's just go.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

You look like
You just dropped
A pint of blood.

Let's go.

[ tires squeal ]

Watch where
You're walking.

Hey, you know
Who that looks like?

That looks like
That josie's sister.

It is.

Here she is again.

Aw, geez.

Leo, come on, man,

She's not gunning for your job.

Hey, rose.

Hey, gentlemen.

Here we go again.
