Jen? Jenny?

Jen?

Jen, why haven't I thought?

Are you okay?

What are you doing?

Ginny. Oh, my God.

Ginny, what's the matter?

You didn't want what,

sweetie? What?

I didn't know it got this bad. I didn't know it.

I'm your best friend. I should have realized something with you.

I thought you stopped drinking. I know. I thought

you were going to your meeting.

I did stop drinking for a while.

And then I couldn't sleep.

God, I couldn't sleep. I got these pills. I got these sleeping pills.

What pills? What is this?

Oxycontin? Ginny?

Oh, my God.

Ginny.

A few days ago, I beat up a junkie in an alley, and I stole his stuff.

Oh, God, Mac. He was begging me. He was begging me to give it back to him.

I need help.

We both will.

Morning, Raina.

Hey, CD.

What are you doing here? Nate and I caught this person. I know, but I heard

over the scanner.

And I know that woman, Frenchie Waters. She runs this place. It's the Nate's

Hospice.

She and my mom, they've been friends for years.

Did you see anything?

No, but we knew the victim.

Sarah Linmore. She was the volunteer.

Frenchie said she always carried a large purse and wore jewelry, which is all

gone now. Probably a good target.

Come on, let me introduce you.

Hey, Dolores. What have you got here?

Single shot.

Small caliber.

Maybe a Saturday night special. There's been an influx of them into the area.

The bullet entered the neck here, traveled through the jugular, and honey,

that happens, the fat lady starts singing.

Estimated TOD?

Six, eight hours, give or take.

She probably resisted. Several fingernails were broken.

She looks about my age.

Thirty? Bless you.

My number's in the book, you know.

Don't tempt me.

Sarah was a saint.

And I don't use the word often.

You're not supposed to be out here.

Most of these volunteers, well, unless they're from community service, then

that's a whole other ballgame.

Ain't nothing but checks. book liberals.

They think a spin at the AIDS hospice might be a good antidote for their next

black tie affair.

But as soon as they realize they have to mop up the vomit and clean the

dressing, they're out of here so fast.

But not Sarah?

No, no. She's been here for years.

Was she married?

Yeah. They own a slew of shoe stores.

You know, for the healthy jogging type.

They do very well.

Pacific Heights.

Any kids?

There's a daughter, uh, Dana.

Seventeen.

Love affair of life.

And last night, did she leave at her regular time?

I waved to her about 11 .15.

The Lord has her now.

She does not.

You have known her for five months. I've known her for five years. You know what

she needs? Stand straight, I do. And I know what she wants. What does she want,

Magda? She wants to be a cop, Jack.

with the San Francisco Police Department, my partner.

She's my partner, too, in life.

If you take her to a rehab anywhere in California, anywhere in the States, our

captain, who is no dummy, by the way, is going to find out.

Ginny was given one last chance, Jack. This is it. If the department finds out

about this, her career's over. It's finished. She tried to commit suicide,

I just want her to live. That's all I want. So do I.

She's not going to want to live, Jack, without her job.

What do you think? Do you think she's going to be happy sitting here waiting

you to come home?

Having dinner all ready for you, waiting on you hand and foot? Wait, wait, wait.

Where do you get off talking to me like that? I'm not Gabe. I don't have to sit

here and listen to your crap. Excuse me.

Before you talk about my damn marriage, why don't you take a peek at your own?

Like where the hell were you when your wife was sitting here with a gun to her

head?

Look, I know a guy who went someplace in Europe.

Germany, I think it was.

It was expensive as hell, but I've got some savings, so... No.

You said you want help. You have to kick this stuff, Jenny.

I can't go back into rehab. I won't. Well, how do you expect to do this then,

honey?

What are you talking about? Going cold turkey?

Jen, OxyContin is synthetic heroin.

It's the same. The withdrawal symptoms are the same.

I know about this. I've seen junkies try and kick it.

It's too dangerous.

He's right, Jen. The physical stuff alone, the muscle cramps and the pain

the nausea, and I'm not even talking about the psychological stuff.

You cannot do this alone.

No, I can't.

I need you both.

Thanks, I'll take it from here.

Dana?

I'm Captain McCafferty.

I called my house for messages, and I was downtown anyway, so they said to

or come into the station.

Something about my mom?

Yes.

Is she okay?

I'm afraid not.

Was she in an accident?

Dana, this could be the hardest thing that you'll ever hear.

Your mother was assaulted last night as she left the hospice.

She was killed.

My mom, are you sure? The hospice administrator identified her.

We've notified your father.

He was in L .A.? He's on the flight back.

They'll make the formal identification.

How was she killed?

Your father will be here real soon. Tell me.

She was the victim of a gunshot.

Oh, mommy.

This is all my fault.

How was it your fault?

I hadn't been doing so well in school.

And my mom said I had to come with her to the hospice and help her as a sort of

lesson on how lucky I am.

I was supposed to meet her there last night, but I went to the mall with my

friends instead.

Right, well... It's a good thing you weren't there. You could have been

too.

At least your mom died knowing that you were safe.

When I got home from the mall, she wasn't back yet, so... I went to bed

and...

I figure when I woke up this morning, she went to the store or something.

Captain, Mr. Linmore's here.

Where's your father?

He's gone.

I know, honey.

I must have told her a million times.

Why did she wear her jewelry?

Carry that big purse?

And her ring.

Her mother's ring in that neighborhood.

And the ring, was it a diamond?

Yes, it had diamonds, but actually it was an antique from the 20s, Art Deco.

It was worth a lot. How much would you say it was worth?

Over 50 grand.

She wouldn't take it off.

It was a family heirloom.

Dana is supposed to inherit it when she marries.

Mr. Lenmore, we understand you're in the...

Retail shoe business.

Yeah. Yes, I have two shops here in the Bay Area, one down in L .A.

Actually, I'm closing the one in L .A., and that's why I was there.

I didn't want to travel anymore.

I wanted to spend more time with my daughter and my wife.

Dana seems like a freak girl.

She looks a little like Amanda, too, don't you think? Yeah, a little.

I can't believe that ring Sarah was wearing was worth that much.

Mugger probably had no idea what he had.

Yeah, unless he did.

What, you don't think this was a random muggy?

I think Mr. Lenmore has a picture of the ring. Check out the usual suspects.

Pawn shops, fences.

The mugger's trying to unload it.

Family heirlooms. I've seen more fights over family heirlooms.

My mother's brooch.

I had to practically arm wrestle my sister for it. Who won?

How's it going?

Actually, you've got a pretty bad headache.

All right. So, how do you want to do this? Do you want to do shifts or what?

You're probably going to want to go home at night, so... Don't assume anything,

Jack, because I've already talked to Gabe and Ben is covered.

So, I'm not going anywhere.

Fine. Either or mine.

So, how long do you think it's going to take?

72 hours.

After that?

Well, that'll pretty much be the worst of it. All right, well, I think that we

should do a serious thorough check of this apartment, the bathrooms, the

bedrooms, make sure she doesn't have anything stashed. It's already done,

believe me. This house is completely clean. Jack?

Jack? Yeah?

What's going on?

Look, I have... I have no idea what's going to happen over the next few days.

It's alright, Jen.

It's only here.

The thing is... I just want to apologize right now before everything gets crazy.

I think I, uh, I must have caught it from Jenny. You know, she's had it for

a week now, so.

Yeah, well, these things have a way of keeping you down.

Well, just stay in bed. I will. Okay, feel better.

Thanks, Captain.

Blew my ass.

You, uh, may be honest with me, Captain. This might be more than just a random

mugging. I love being right, and I hate being right.

You got something on the husband.

Edward was telling the truth about being in Los Angeles and closing the store,

but... He wasn't entirely upfront about the rest of his business.

Which is in the toilet.

His other two stores are near bankrupt as well.

Oh.

Life insurance policy and what?

No, but the ring is insured. And not for $50 ,000.

$450 ,000.

So you're thinking he hired someone to mug her and steal a ring and kill her?

Let me know.

So I gather you'd rather this was a random crime?

Being robbed and killed for your jewelry by a stranger.

It's a horrible crime.

Being set up by your husband and you sleep next to him every night.

It's a tragedy.

Honey, the muscle cramps, okay?

She needs some water. She could be dehydrated or something, you know?

Ginny?

I'll be right back.

I thought you were staying.

I am. I have this friend of mine. He's a doctor. Maybe he can prescribe some

kind of medication or something. I don't know.

But I'm going to be right back. Okay?

Got something.

Kyle's pawn shop over on Van Dyke. A guy came in two weeks ago trying to hawk a

ring. This ring.

Looks like Sarah's ring.

That rain of the crime happened last night.

I know, but Kyle is pretty good with descriptions, and he described Edward

Limmore to 18.

Yes, yes, I had the ring of praise.

At a pawn shop?

I was scared that I wouldn't be able to make my next house payment.

My stores were all going under. Why didn't you tell us this before?

My wife had just died, Inspector.

Oh, yeah?

And who killed her?

I loved Sarah.

She and Dana were my whole life. Ask anyone, they will tell you. Yeah.

Unfortunately, the one person you'd really like to ask can't answer us.

This ring, I swear, is the root of all evil.

How so?

It wasn't just the fights I had with my wife about it.

It was just as bad or worse with Dana.

Your daughter? Why? Last year she met this guy, Gavin, a real loser, 23 years

old. She's 16.

She came home and announced that she was going to marry him.

Well, of course, Sarah and I went nuts, told her no way.

And how did she react to that?

She wanted the ring.

It was in her grandmother's will that, you know, Sarah's mom, that the ring

would pass on to her when she married.

What happened? Are they still together?

No, actually, nothing we said made a difference.

Gavin pushed her up against a wall one night, scared the hell out of her, so

broke up with him.

That was about six months ago.

Ginny?

Ginny?

Oh, honey.

Gin, come on, baby. Let's get you back in the bed.

Gin, come on.

Come on, sweetie.

Jack wants to get you some soda, okay?

Come on, baby.

That's it.

That's better. There you go.

There you go.

Listen, Gin.

Honey, I went to see Jonah.

Okay, and he told me that if you would have gone to rehab, they would have

you down a little easier, and they would have given you some of these.

What is that?

Librium. So let me get you a glass of water, all right?

Get the crap out of here!

Jimmy!

Jimmy! God!

Jonah said that if you... I don't care what your boyfriend has to say!

Now, Jeremy was in so much pain this morning, he could hardly talk.

But he said he saw something out of his window?

Yes. Here it is right here.

As you can see, his room has a pretty good view of the street.

Thank you.

Come on in.

Jeremy? Yeah.

Hi.

Hi.

How are you, Inspector Washington?

Raina. Just call me Raina.

It's the privileges of the nearly dead, right?

We get to call you by your familiar name?

Actually, that's what everyone calls me.

I was just promoted to inspector a few months ago.

Congratulations. Thank you.

Mind if I sit down?

Whatever you like.

Thanks.

So you know Sarah Lemmore pretty well?

Yeah. When my mom found out that I had AIDS, she, uh... Well, I guess she

that she gave birth to me.

And then when Sarah started coming, it was like having a mom again.

She would read to me.

In fact, we were just getting ready to start David Copperfield.

What exactly did you see, Jeremy?

I didn't see Sarah get shot, but I heard someone, and I'm

sure that it was Sarah, and she was crying out, No, get away from me.

Oh, thank you, Sarah.

And then I...

I came over here to the window, and I heard the shot, and I looked out, and I

saw a man running away.

Did you see his face? I saw his profile, and he was leaning over her and taking

a ring.

He was young, 20, and a macho, kind of muscular

guy.

He's not my type.

And he was wearing jeans.

And a jeans jacket.

You think if I got a police sketch artist over here, you'd be able to work

her? Oh, absolutely.

I'd do anything for Sarah.

Thanks.

You feeling better?

I'm feeling better.

Look, Meg, I was thinking, you know, I'm not a doctor.

Can't make decisions about treatment and stuff.

I thought that maybe, you know, I should take some of those pills.

The pills that Jonah gave you.

Well, I don't have them, Jen. I flushed them.

Okay. All right, Mags, we both know that you still have them, okay? I know you

didn't flush them.

I did. I did exactly what you asked me to. Mags, just give me the damn pills,

all right?

Hey.

I need them.

Oh, my God.

Is that Jerry's boyfriend?

Yeah, that's Gavin.

I can't believe this.

When did you last speak with him?

Months ago. We had a fight. We broke up.

Your father told me that he physically assaulted you.

Yeah.

No, Dana, whatever happened, it wasn't your fault.

You were smart to break up with him.

How much did he know?

He knew my mom volunteered to work at the hospice.

He dropped me off there once.

He knew about the ring, too.

I told him it was worth a lot of money and that I was going to inherit it when

got married.

How could I have been so stupid? That's probably the only reason you wanted to

marry me.

Anybody have any idea where we can find him?

He moved, but he used to work part -time at a strip club downtown, The

Tightrope.

I run an honest club.

I check everyone's background thoroughly.

You know I used to be in law enforcement.

And if you got a sheet, I ain't hiring you.

Coming quick.

I'll take care of you.

Now, about Gavin.

He worked here on and off for the past couple of years, filling in when my

regular barkeep didn't show.

When's the last time you saw him? A month.

I don't know for sure.

What do you want him for?

Just want to ask him a few questions.

Sorry, I can't help you guys out.

I didn't know anybody was in here. I was just going to ask Marty something.

Hey, I don't know anything.

Stop right there.

Why are you listening at the door?

Look, can we go someplace else and talk?

Sure.

What are you so upset about?

I was listening at the door.

I mean, I know Gavin, and I heard you asking questions, and I just, I wanted

know. How well do you know him?

He just, he used to work here, and I used to strip, and now I'm a hostess,

just, I used to like the guy.

When was the last time you saw him?

And do not lie to me.

We think Gavin may be involved in a robbery homicide, and that would make

accessory after the fact.

No. I did not know anything about that.

I swear, he was here last night.

He said he was in some trouble. Some guys he owed money to were after him.

He said he needed me to do him a favor.

What did he ask you to do?

Use Marty's computer to book him a flight out of town.

Captain, yeah, Gavin just booked a flight to Vancouver.

Flight number... 702. 702 out of FFO.

Yeah, the flight leaves in like an hour, so we're going to need uniformed

members of the airport bureau there.

Yeah, well, we're 98 too, but maybe they'll already have him in custody by

All right, yeah, thanks.

You're not going to charge me, are you?

Not if you're telling the truth.

I am.

Good. Then you got nothing to worry about.

Except I'd rethink your choice in men.

I keep telling her that.

How are you feeling?

I'm better.

That's good.

What are you doing here?

Magda called me.

She's taken me into her confidence.

She told you? She told you what I'm doing?

Yes.

And you know what? I'm all for it.

You're not going to report me?

Take away my guitar.

Why would I do that?

You're one of my best inspectors. You know that.

I need you at the division.

You... You have no idea.

How much I needed to hear that right now.

Get some rest.

I'll fix your sheets.

No.

I didn't know that. I didn't know it was there. Oh, no. This I can't ignore. No,

Captain, I wouldn't take it. I swear to you, I wouldn't.

Captain, please wait.

Oh, God, I can do this.

Please, Don.

This will make you feel better.

When you were a baby, you always had the group.

Your brothers never had it, but you did.

Your father was always yelling at me to quiet you.

But you kept on crying.

I don't understand.

I used to take you in the bathroom, let the shower run, fill the room with steam

so you could breathe better.

Hours and hours of holding you.

Why are you here?

Well, you were calling me.

Did you have a bad dream?

I can make it all better.

Oh, my little girl.

My sweet baby.

Leave me again, please.

I have to.

I know you're old enough now to understand.

No, no, I don't.

I don't. I don't understand.

Yes, you do.

Because you're just like me.

No, I'm not.

No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't let Casey find me like I found you.

It wasn't going to ruin his life.

No.

I wouldn't do that to someone that I love.

You're a good girl, Jenny. You are.

You are.

Take your time, Jeremy, okay? This is very important.

All right.

Good day.

Turn to the side.

Quarter turn to the left.

That's number two.

Are you sure?

Positive. I remember that tattoo on his arm.

I thought you said he was wearing a jacket.

Yeah, he was.

I mean, uh... Yeah, maybe I didn't see that tattoo. I don't remember now, but

that's him.

That's the guy.

Guess what, Gavin?

You're lucky bachelor number two.

Damn it. How could somebody ID me?

I wasn't even there.

Where were you?

Babysitting your sick aunt?

No. I was home.

Alone, I take it? Yeah.

So? So you have no alibi.

You're not very smart, are you, Gavin?

We have an eyewitness who places you at the scene.

What, do you think we just pick your name out of the phone book?

You are going down for this murder.

If I'm going down, I'm taking her with me.

Who?

Dana.

It was her idea.

She took the whole thing out.

Sarah's daughter.

You've been advised of your rights. Do you wish to have an attorney present?

I haven't done anything wrong.

I don't really want my dad here either.

Well, I think it's best that he be here.

You are a minor after all.

What did Gavin tell you?

This is my idea?

You actually believe him?

Tell me why I shouldn't.

He's a liar.

He hit me.

He hurt me.

I broke up with him.

I told him I didn't want anything to do with him, so of course he tells you

stuff about me. What has he got to lose?

You're still in love with him.

No.

That was before.

I haven't even seen him. Sure you have.

And you've spoken with him.

Because we have your cell records here.

And Gavin's.

Is that true, Dana?

Okay, yes, I've spoken to him.

He kept calling me.

I told him to leave me alone.

I didn't tell you because I didn't want to worry you or upset Mom.

Your mother was right about Kevin.

Yes, she was.

And she paid for it with her life.

I know that.

Don't you think that I feel horrible that my ex -boyfriend killed her for

damn ring?

I should never even have mentioned the ring.

Hi, Jeremy.

How are you feeling today?

I'm pretty good, considering the pull of a chair.

Thanks.

I need to talk to you about something, Jeremy.

You weren't completely honest with me about seeing Sarah's killer running

And that's okay.

But I need you to tell me the whole truth now.

I saw him.

I identified him. Jeremy, it was dark out.

Your eyesight isn't that good. Isn't that why Sarah was reading to you?

the print was too small?

Yeah, but... That thing about the jacket, the tattoo, come on. I'm

sometimes.

It's all the medications that I'm taking.

See how many meds I take every day?

Jeremy, I know how much you love Sarah.

And I understand how much she meant to you. But you are not helping her by

lying.

Dana came to see me.

Sarah's daughter?

Did you know her?

Sure. Sarah had introduced us.

She was sure that her ex -boyfriend Gavin did this, but was

afraid there wasn't going to be enough evidence against us.

She asked you to lie.

I just wanted to help Sarah.

Pay her back.

Better, I guess.

Jane, you did it.

The worst is over.

Yeah. Yeah.

God, did I do that?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. It's okay. Don't worry about it.

You okay?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

God, I don't remember.

Yeah, I guess.

We'll go make you something to eat. We'll be right back, okay?

Thanks, Michael.

She's still got a long way to go, though. She does.

It's over, Dana.

What are you talking about?

We just spoke with Jeremy.

Jeremy who?

You asked him to lie. To say that he saw the man who killed your mother.

Why?

I loved him.

They said I was too young, but I loved him.

Gavin and I had plans.

To sell the ring.

I hated that ring. It was ugly anyway.

I just wanted the money so that Gavin and I could get married.

So you told him to rob your mother.

But not to kill her.

I told him to take a gun, but an unloaded gun, just to scare her.

I was sure she wouldn't put up a fight. I just wanted him to scare her.

But Gavin double -crossed me.

He took a loaded gun.

And he was going to leave town with the ring without me.

I did this for him.

So we could be together.

Don't you understand?

I understand who you are now.

Just glad your mother never knew.

Wolfgang Puff.

You have other talent.

What? I have to ask.

You said...

You couldn't pull the trigger because you were afraid that Kathy would find

What about me?

Did you even think about me?

About us?

No.

I thought... that you would be better off without me.

You know, when we got married, I don't think that you had a clue of

who or what you were getting.

Obviously, I was in a really bad place.

I thought you could fix that for me.

But nobody could. Do that for me.

I need to do the rest of this alone.

How long are you talking about?

you to do that i know but i'll wait just to see

we're

gonna start right here
