Hey. Forward march.

You're not my physical therapist.

Less talk, more walk.

Thanks. I'll have you out on the dance floor in no time.

I can't wait.

Meantime, I better get going. I got an interview in 20 minutes.

I said it's going to be tough to replace.

Yeah, but there are a lot of qualified people out there.

Sure, we enforce the law, but more importantly, we regulate human behavior.

You know what I mean?

Listen, what's the deductible on the medical coverage?

My point is, uh, I'd rather teach someone a lesson, steer them away from

rather than bust them.

Great approach.

I assume dental is included?

Before we get into all that, I'd like to make sure that we...

Agree on all the philosophical points.

Of course.

You're right.

I apologize.

What do you think is the best kind of pension plan?

Deferred benefit or money purchase?

Thanks for stopping by.

Validate parking.

Here's a file on Zach Malone. We're working our sources. We should be

something any minute. Personal legal bets. Pretty theft.

Not exactly public enemy number one. No, but it's not what he does. It's what he

knows. There's a major betting operation uptown. I got a feeling Zach can finger

the book.

Who may, in turn, finger some prominent citizens who've placed illegal bets.

Can't help it, boss. I like to see those big shots squirm.

I found Zach at Finnegan's bar, pining for it. Great. Let's go.

Hey, wait up.

Oh, it's okay, boss. You rest up. We can handle it.

Really? We can handle it?

All right, this guy thinks he's a track star, so no matter what, don't let him

see us. All right.

Zach!

He says we don't have enough against Zach to justify going all the way. Wait

minute. This guy ruins my favorite pants and now we gotta cut a deal with him?

That doesn't seem right.

Then let's not do it.

You're going away for a year this time, Zach. Maybe more. I'm scared.

I'm scared.

So now let's deal.

What do you want to know?

Armed robbery last night at the mall. Guy got hurt pretty bad.

What armed robbery?

I thought you said he knew something. I thought he did.

This is a waste of time. Take him to the locker.

Hey, what about a deal?

You get nothing we want.

Wait, wait, wait. I may not know anything about the robbery, but I can

a bookie.

A bookie? Yeah, a major player in Cloverdale. Lays off some heavy bets.

Oh, that's old news.

Oh, yeah? Then why don't you bust him, huh?

I know why.

Because he's got all the money and hangs out with the right people. You don't

know what you're talking about. The law in action, huh?

Stomp on the little guys, protect the big shots.

He's got no juice in this town at all.

Yeah, Andy Gorman has no juice in Eastbridge. Tell me another one.

Andy Gorman owns Andre's Bistro over on Franklin. Check it out tonight.

But first, take him to lockup. Hey, wait a minute. You tricked me. I'm filing a

complaint here.

Oh, I'm scared. I'm scared.

I'm so proud of her, I could bust.

Let me tell you, there are not many kids who could hold down a job and get the

kind of grades Patty did.

Farragut isn't exactly Harvard, Dad.

Yeah, but you got in, didn't you? And that's what counts.

And you're not going to drop out either, like your old man did.

I just wish... Your mom would have been really proud of you.

Have you thought about a major? Not yet, but I know I want to help people, so

social work or psychology, maybe even police work. There are more women cops

than ever, right?

Absolutely.

Is David around?

Yeah, he's upstairs doing his homework.

I'm sure he'd love an interruption.

You know how tough things were after Natalie died.

Patty got through it.

She's a great kid.

Pretty wild homework assignment.

What are you doing, anyway?

Relax. I'm not going to tell.

Well, uh, we've got the basic cable channels, but my parents won't pay for

extra ones, so I kind of borrowed them from the trunk line outside.

I didn't know you were a delinquent.

Is anyone else coming up?

No.

They're all down there yakking a lot about nothing.

I need a joint.

Um, maybe you shouldn't smoke that in here.

I don't think my dad would be hip to it.

Yeah, parents are jerks.

I told him I wanted to be a cop.

I think they bought it.

Well, do you want to be?

As far away from here as I can get.

You're going to run away?

I'm 18.

I've saved up some money, and I'm not going to waste it on four more years of

school.

Does your dad know?

He's in another world.

He doesn't know a thing.

And he's not going to.

And neither are your parents.

I heard a couple of guys talking about point spreads up at the bar.

My guess is we're on to something.

Hi there.

How are you?

I gotta get out more often. Looks like Andy's laying off more than just a few

bets.

This could be a lovely little skin.

Hey.

Any way a guy can have some fun around here?

There's miniature golf down the block.

Nah, come on. You know what I'm saying.

I can't help you.

You just cost me 500 bucks. You'd like to tie girls up. I don't do that.

You do what I tell you to do. Let go of me.

Who the hell are you?

Everything's okay, really. We're just talking.

Yeah, yeah, you heard her, buddy. So get lost, huh?

Actually, I'm already a little lost. I was hoping you could help me out.

Is Third Street that way? Or this way?

Another day.

Next time, butt out.

So I had Hibbs run the plates on a few of the johns.

Came up with some names, but nobody prominent. Not yet, anyhow. All right,

set up a sting. Use one of the names as a reference. I'm afraid I can't go back

in there again, boss.

I think Andy got a pretty good look at me.

Got a little careless?

Yeah. Sorry about that.

Get someone else. Right.

Right.

Somebody with class.

A management type.

Excuse me. Yeah. New Baldwin. Management consultant.

It's a great place you got here. Thank you. Hey.

Wish we had something like this in Detroit.

Listen, I'm only in town for a couple of days, and Kevin Hunter over at Jericho

Chemicals said you might be able to help me find a date.

You're a friend of Kevin's?

Yeah, I might be able to help you out.

Great. I'm at the executive suite over at the Stanfield Hotel.

Not an hour?

Not an hour.

Testing. Testing one, two, three.

Figaro, Figaro, Figaro. You getting this?

Yes, loud and clear.

Hi, sugar.

Mr. Scali?

Patty?

How long have you been doing this?

A couple months.

I started out as a waitress and got promoted.

You doing drugs?

No.

A little coke every so often is no big deal.

Like prostitution is no big deal.

Look. Patty, I want to help you.

If you testify against Andy, maybe I can. I don't need help because I didn't

commit a crime.

I knocked on the door of a hotel room and said hi.

Hi, sugar.

Is that against the law?

Sit down. I said sit down!

Can you give us a minute, please?

Yeah.

Technically, you haven't committed a crime.

You need help, and I'm going to call your father right now and see that you

it. I'm not telling my father.

I am. You can't. You can't. It has nothing to do with him. What are you

about? He's your father. He doesn't know anything about me. I think it's about

time he learned. No.

My family is not like yours.

Ever since my mom died.

I know, but you need your dad right now, and he'll be there for you.

You don't understand.

I know.

I know I have problems.

And I'll go to Andy. And I'll quit today. And I'll go into rehab.

Please.

Please give me a chance to straighten myself out.

Please don't tell my father.

I'm keeping close tabs on you.

Thank you.

She is 18.

Yeah, and two months ago she was 17.

She's crying out for help, Tony. You can't leave it up to her.

I want to make sure she follows through.

Tony.

Remember how close they were before Natalie died?

Don't you think you owe it to Ralph to tell him?

He didn't have a chance to save his wife, but he still has one with Patty,

you tell him.

What if it were you?

Rachel... Well, you wouldn't want to know. No parent would.

You would have to know. That's not the point.

What is?

I made a promise, and she made one to me.

She keeps hers, I keep mine.

Besides... Besides what?

I kept trying to picture myself telling Ralph that his little girl's a

prostitute and I couldn't, okay?

David? What were you watching?

Nothing.

It's a long story.

Well, I've got insomnia.

Well, you know those extra cable channels that I wanted, and you guys

they were too expensive?

The guys at school are always talking about the movies and everything, and,

uh... And?

So we sort of borrowed a few channels from the cable company.

Their line runs right over our roof. I just tapped into it. It's not like

stealing. It's exactly like stealing, David. You know that.

What are you going to do?

The question is, what are you going to do?

Disconnect the cable.

And?

Pay for it.

And?

Call the cable company, tell them what I did, and apologize.

It's more like it.

You gonna tell Dad?

Well, I'm gonna leave that decision up to you.

I'm confident you'll do the right thing.

Interviews.

I get nervous.

Happens to everyone.

I'm a good detective.

More than good. I'm terrific.

Once I get the job.

You want some water, Phil?

I'm fine.

More than fine. I'm terrific.

It's just interviews.

Sometimes I hyperventilate.

From what I can see, your credentials for the job...

Impeccable. Always the gentleman.

Don't you know they're a dying breed?

Listen, I was wondering if we can have a cup of coffee.

To talk.

I guess coffee's about all you can afford on a cop's salary.

How'd you know I was a cop?

I went to grad school, and I can't help you.

Well, how about doing something to help Lisa?

Second grade at Greenbridge Elementary, right?

Gosh, you're a cute kid.

Is that a threat?

Nah, it's only one threat, our future.

And I'm looking at it.

Not that it's any of your business, but I'm just doing this until I... What? You

get off the drugs?

Meet Sir Galahad? Win the lottery?

Come on, you're doing this until the drugs get you. Or until Andy smacks you

once too often. And then we gotta bring little Lisa down to the morgue to

identify Mommy.

Then someone else can raise your little girl.

Go to hell.

Well, it didn't look like one last meeting for old time's sake.

Looked more like Patty's back in business with him.

So, uh, what are you gonna do about it?

What I probably should have done in the first place.

I just don't know how I'm gonna do it.

You've done so much for me already, Ralph. I hate to ask, but, uh, the guy

to me out of the blue and says he's raising the rent.

How much you need?

A hundred a week.

I got bills to pay, too, Ned.

Seventy -five?

I'll see what I can do.

Hey, Tony.

You remember Ned Blake helped me put in your lawn.

No problems, I hope.

No, the lawn's fine.

You got a minute? Sure.

Has Patty talked to you lately?

What about?

Um... We got a tip the other day that there's been some illegal gambling at

Andre's Bistro.

You're not saying Patty was placed in any bet?

No.

But as it turns out, some of the waitresses have been working as

the guy who owns the joint.

You're kidding.

There's drugs involved, too.

Oh, my God.

Well, I'm going to get her out of there today. I don't even like thinking about

her being around a place like that.

Thanks for telling me, Conan.

Ralph.

No! No, I don't believe it!

What's the matter?

How'd you find me?

Wasn't hard.

Mind if I sit?

I don't care what you do.

You just couldn't wait to tell him, could you?

What did he say?

He practically threw me out of the house.

Did he throw you out?

He said, for the first time in five years, he's glad my

mother's dead.

He said he's glad she can't see what I've become.

It's always been my mother and him.

He's hurt and confused, just like you are.

You both suffered a loss. My father and I have nothing in common.

We have nothing, period.

If you don't feel anything for him, why'd you put on that whole charade

college and Little Miss Perfect?

Why'd you beg me not to tell him the truth?

Let me take you home.

I have nothing to say to him. Don't say anything. Just let him hug you.

As if he would.

You really think that's going to make everything all better?

No.

Might be a start.

If you need to play, you can stay with Rachel and me.

Forget it.

They still say if they gave the quarterback a little more time, he would

picked them apart.

He didn't have a strong enough arm.

Hi. It's almost 10 o 'clock.

We stopped off for some ice cream after the game.

I just wanted to spend some time with him.

It's good that you and David had a chance to talk. Yeah.

So, what did you talk about?

Girls, sports, girls.

He's got a good head on his shoulders.

I'll see you in a minute.

You didn't tell him, did you?

He was in such a good mood. I didn't want to spoil it for him.

He's got so much on his mind without having to worry about me.

Well, he's your father. He's supposed to worry about you.

Look, I paid everything back, and I'll never do it again.

We don't have secrets in this family, David.

But you said it was up to me.

Yeah, well, I also said I was sure you would do the right thing.

Is it up to me or isn't it?

Yes.

For Lisa's sake, I'll tell you what I know about Andy Gorman.

Tax evasion, prostitution, gambling.

Is it too much to hope Andy resists arrest?

Get statements from the neighbors?

Most of them. See no evil, hear likewise.

Uh, Mikey just scraped a bullet out of the far wall. Looks like a .38.

Ralph did this.

The day I tell him about his daughter, her pimp ends up dead.

Can't be a coincidence.

It was a pimp.

Fifty guys probably wanted to knock him off.

Call him this side of the carpet.

Fertilizer?

Of the fifty, how many of them owned the landscaping business?

Anyone who... Walked across a lawn. Pick that up, boss.

Hey, Marty.

You got a time of death?

Ball parked at around 11.

We'll know better when we time out the undigested food in his stomach.

Thanks.

It's still possible that your friend is innocent. I found these under the couch.

Looks like somebody's been through them.

Guy must have rigged up a hidden camera and taken pictures of the girls on the

job. Hey, that's Mike Dennis.

Looks like our dealer who departed was a real entrepreneur.

You think he used these to blackmail the locals?

Very possible.

That kind of points away from Ralph.

Maybe, unless he was trying to rewrite history.

There are no pictures of Patty here.

Maybe there never were any. Or maybe somebody took them out.

two peas in a pod.

She had a mother's face.

I looked at her. I found Natalie.

Called you last night to see how you were doing.

I didn't feel like answering the phone.

Were you alone?

What is it?

Someone killed Andy Gorman last night.

Yeah.

I'll drink to that. Come on, Ralph.

Oh.

You think I killed him?

Did you talk to anyone?

See anyone between nine and midnight?

No.

I told you I didn't kill him.

What are they doing here?

They're here with a warrant.

We found traces of fertilizer at Gorman's place.

Well, you learn how your friends are. I am your friend.

You come clean now and maybe I can help you. Don't you think you've helped me

enough?

You want to tell him you were with me last night?

I'll vouch for you.

I'll let you know.

Tell me a little bit about yourself.

Why do you think you'd make a good chief of detectives?

Well, it's simple, really.

A lot of these guys today, they're just too quick with the gun and the badge.

That's old thinking. It's passe.

Oh, really?

How do you mean?

I just prefer to use my head.

We really need a guy who can use his head.

My specialty?

I pop a guy like this.

Paya!

Breaks his nose every time.

Yeah.

Paige, have you seen this?

What? The cable company charged us for 16 movie channels.

David didn't tell you?

Tell me what?

He bootlegged the cable so he could watch R -rated movies.

I caught him the other night.

He bootlegged the cable?

He already called the company and apologized, and he wants to pay for the

charges with his own money.

Why didn't you tell me?

Of course.

I thought that he should.

All right.

Well, then he'll tell me.

Well, you were together all last night.

We were at the game.

Why are you making excuses for him? I'm not.

It's just he's 14.

We gotta give him some slack.

Like Ralph gave Patty.

Rachel, come on. It's nowhere near the same thing.

He's lying to you. He's not lying.

Well, he's not telling the truth.

It may seem like nothing now, but... He'll come around.

I hope so.

We didn't find any blackmail photographs at Ralph's office, but, uh...

The lab matched a fertilizer on his floor with what was at Gorman's.

And it gets worse.

I don't remember what time it was. I was getting over the flu. I kept drifting

in and out of sleep.

At some point, I had gone up to open the window for some air, and that's when I

saw this guy running out of Andy's apartment.

Can you describe it?

Yeah, he was tall, six foot, maybe six foot one, dark brown hair, kind of a

spot at the back of his head. I'd say he'd be late 30s, early 40s.

Ronnie, let me see the phone book.

to advertise.

Is this the man you saw?

Oh, yes, absolutely.

Thank you, Miss Evans. We'll be in touch.

So, time to go to the DA's?

We don't have his fingerprints at the crime scene or a murder weapon. It's

circumstantial. I think you built a pretty good case. I can make it better.

I can get Ralph to confess.

What, Ralph's just gonna come in and confess all of a sudden?

To save his daughter, he will.

But he disowned her.

I know him. He still loves her.

Call Ralph. Tell him we've got Patty down here and we're going to book her

murder.

And are we?

No.

You're wrong. Patty didn't kill anyone.

She doesn't have an alibi. She was seen coming out of his place.

That doesn't make her a killer.

We found her fingerprints everywhere.

This is Patty we're talking about.

I'm sorry.

Patty didn't do it.

She couldn't have.

I killed Andy Gorman.

After I found out about Patty, I got in the car and I started driving.

I don't even know how I ended up at Gorman's.

I have this old .38 revolver that I got from an Army buddy years ago. It wasn't

registered.

What time did you arrive at Mr. Gorman's condominium?

Midnight.

Maybe a little before.

Go on.

He opened the door, looked like he was high.

I just stood there a minute, just staring at the guy.

Then I told him I was Patty's father.

He started to laugh.

So I shot him.

Twice.

In the chest.

He fell against the coffee table and landed on the couch.

Glass was everywhere.

Do you remember what he was wearing?

Green and white sweats, high -top sneakers.

So, after you shot him...

After you took the photographs of Patty.

Right.

What did you do with the gun?

There's an old foundry off Highway 9 in Groverton. I threw it in the furnace.

Do these details correspond to your report?

He couldn't have gotten them from the newspaper?

No.

I've got everything I need.

Hello? Hey, champ.

Oh, hey. Mom's not here.

That's okay. What are you doing?

Homework. You know anything about algorithms?

I don't even know what food group they're in.

They're a math problem.

Like I said, listen,

I'm just sitting around here thinking about the game last night. I had a

great time.

Me too.

I always want it to be close, David.

Definitely.

Is there anything else going on I should know about?

Um, not that I can think of.

Okay, David, I'll see you when I get home.

Yeah.

Hey, get the lab report.

It's over. We're out. All right.

Well, like you did what you had to do.

What? What is it?

Marty put the time of death between 9 .15 and 9 .30.

So what's the problem?

You said you went to Andy's condo at midnight.

Are you sure about that?

We're on there.

Ralph, listen to me.

If you confess to protect Patty and you didn't do it, tell me now.

She's innocent.

But you... I wanted you to believe that we had a case against her. I was sure

you would... What are you saying?

Are you saying you set me up?

How did you know about the crime scene?

Because I was there.

I went to Gorman's, like I said, all right? But I didn't have a gun.

Maybe I would have killed him with my bare hands. I don't know. The door was

half open. I looked in. There he was lying dead on the couch.

The actual time of death was earlier than we thought.

Do you have an alibi for 9 -9 -30? No, I don't.

But I didn't kill him, Tony. That's the God's honest truth.

Tony, you have to release him.

He was lying to protect his daughter.

He was three hours off on the time of death.

Maybe his watch was broken. These guys retract statements all the time. You

that. I have a confession, an eyewitness that put him at the scene, and I have

motive. Don't you care about guilt or innocence?

Of course I do.

And I care about what I can prove in court.

I can prove Ralph Burns is a killer.

I asked Ralph about the photographs. He hesitated.

Should have known.

He was hiding something.

How could you know that for one moment hesitated? I just should have.

Okay, so if Ralph didn't do it, who did?

Someone who was looking for those photographs.

Back to the blackmail theory.

We've got to find out who's with Patty in those pictures.

Hey! Hey!

Dumb Patty. Real dumb.

Why can't you just give me a break?

I gave you a break, and look at what you did with it.

So what?

What? You're going to tell my father again?

Your father's sitting in a jail cell right now.

He thought we were going to arrest you for killing Andy Gorman. He wouldn't

allow that to happen to you. So he confessed without hesitation.

And now he's this far away from being put in prison for the rest of his life

something he didn't do.

I can't believe he'd do that.

Well, get used to the idea.

Patty, he loves you.

He's always loved you.

Everything is so messed up.

We can get him out.

I just need your help.

Did you know that Andy took pictures and he might have blackmailed some of his

clients?

Yeah, some of the girls talked about it.

Well, we think the killer was someone who you were with.

He stole those pictures to protect himself.

You have any idea who that might have been?

Hey.

Hey, yourself.

I need money, Ned.

In business for yourself now?

I need a loan. I'll pay you back, I swear.

Last time I checked, I wasn't a lending institution.

Come on, Ned. I need to score.

Get out of here.

Maybe when your wife... Finds out about it, she'll lend me the money.

Are we being cute?

500, Ned.

If you think you can come in here and grind me, you're as dumb as your old

You know those pictures Annie took of us?

I got the negative.

I don't care anymore, Ned.

I'll show them to your wife and your kids. Let me take you to school, little

girl.

Pay attention.

Andy tried to put the squeeze on me with those pictures, only things didn't work

out like he planned.

You killed Andy? Because he didn't know how to mind his own business.

And it looks like you got the same problem.

That's enough, Vic.

You're under arrest.

Oh, unfortunately, this game doesn't have a door number three.

This is how you came back for giving you a job.

I had a company twice this size.

Used to give him the jobs I couldn't handle.

Man, he loved it when I went belly up.

He threw me a bone. I was his dog.

That's an insult to dogs.

Get him out of here.

Come on.

I'm sorry for everything I put you through.

Yeah, it would be worth it if I could start over with Patty.

Don't know if she'd even want to.

Why don't you find out?

Number one at the Academy, three years working homicide, Medal of Valor,

Citation for Bravery, Carpe Diem. This guy'd make a great chief of detectives.

He's too good to be true.

Why is there no name on this?

Uh, because you know him.

You fired him.

There's no way they'd ever keep you in a wheelchair.

You've been checking on me.

How's Rachel?

Kids?

They're good.

Two years is a long time.

NYPD investigated the shooting, Tony.

The report's been out for 18 months.

They cleared me.

The guy was garbage.

He was into drugs, kiddie porn, for God's sake.

He reached into his coat. He could have had a gun.

He didn't. Should I have waited to find out?

We could be dead on the floor. I followed procedure to the letter. The

said so.

I joined the department in New York.

I know.

You've been checking up on me?

We're still friends, then.

There was never any doubt of that.

Then take me on again.

Come on, nothing is as good as when we were working together.

The two musketeers. It'll be like the old days in the neighborhood.

Look, Tony, you saw it one way, I saw it another.

I happen to think we're both alive because of the way I saw it.

Whatever. You know, whatever you decide, it's okay.

Hey, no matter what happens, we'll always have Bensonhurst.

I'll think about it.

Hope we never meet again.

Confirming the reservations.

Dancing at the river side ballroom.

I've had a standing one every Saturday night since you came home.

Why wait until Saturday night?

You still got it, kid.

You better believe it.

So what did you decide about Foley?

I'm going to give him the job.

But what it's worth, I think you're doing the right thing.

It's worth a lot.

All right.

Decide to say goodnight.

Come here.

Bye, Sam.

Don't have to let him tell you about the cable, huh?

Maybe we should just let this slide.

It's just a little secret.

No big deal.

He's a good kid, Rach.

Maybe you're right.

Then again...

I absolutely agree.
