Original subtitles

This list reads like something out of Mary Poppins. Daycare operators.

Postal workers.

Just your ordinary, everyday pornographers. I can't get upset around

anything without you pinning it on my job. Nobody wants to touch kiddie porn,

Mary Bette. You can't even stand to look at the pictures.

So what was he doing out here in the middle of the night? This is not some

mugging or random beating.

Somebody wanted him out of the way. If I wanted to waste your pretty boy, I

would have done it long before the trial.

I don't even want to talk about it anymore. Let's just drop it, all right?

may have been a good man, Christine, but don't turn him into a saint. Stop it!

There was a video camera set up and a light.

Mr. Molina was doing something to the light, although I could not tell what.

Go on, Detective Lacey.

Next to the camera was a bed.

Tammy Ruther was lying on that bed.

And was this seven -year -old child wearing any clothes?

No, sir, she was not.

Your partner has already testified as to the photographs and the tapes that you

seized from the basement.

Is this one of those photographs?

Yes, sir. Can you identify the little girl in this photograph?

Yes, sir. She is Tammy Russell.

I would like the jury to review the exhibit at this time. Objection, Your

Counsel knows this should be reserved until after his summation.

Your Honor, we are dealing with the most heinous of crimes perpetrated against

innocent children. The jury deserves to see this exhibit now so they can get the

full implication of this testimony.

Objection overruled, and you may proceed.

Thank you, Your Honor.

As we talk about what happened to this little girl...

I want you to remember the look on this poor child's face.

Objection! So that you can understand the horror behind her deadened eyes.

Objection! I wouldn't push my luck, Mr. Brandman.

Of course, Your Honor.

Makes me nervous when they motion for a delay.

They can delay all they want. They can delay till hell freezes over because

be right on their tails when they go back into court.

I wish we had 10 more DAs like him. So do I.

Every time you nail garbage like Melina, you kill off another piece of the

billion -dollar industry.

Word gets out, the pieces all add up.

Score one for the good guy.

And then maybe one other little girl won't end up like Tammy Rush.

Where did you leave his attorney?

It's just a job to people like the lawyer.

They make the bucks and leave their conscience at home?

He'd be singing a different tune if it was his own kid being photographed.

Not to worry, detective.

You two ladies were terrific.

Can't argue with him there. We were lucky to be in the right place when the

came down.

Of course, good detectives are supposed to depend on timing.

Call me Paul.

Give me a hundred more cops like you, and I just might close down this whole

industry.

As a matter of fact, this calls for celebration.

Why don't you let me take the two of you out to dinner?

What's out to dinner?

Sounds worthy of a celebration to me.

I know a great little French place over on West 47th Street.

Oh, you mean tonight? I'm sorry. My husband's on a bowling team. I have to

home. But you two go ahead and celebrate for me.

Sergeant? Call me Chris. Sergeant's a little formal.

So, what do you say, Chris?

I never say no to French food.

Even on bowling nights.

Great.

I'm going to take the stairs.

I'll call you later.

I thought you swore off the eighth.

One must strive to be broad -minded, Mary Beth. The constant struggle.

Uh -huh.

So Harvey already has a new bowling team, huh?

No, it's the same one.

Oh.

Well, I thought they bowled on Tuesday night.

They don't.

I'm glad that you came to dinner.

We have a future together, Chris.

I know it. You bring in the collars and I'll get us the convictions.

Kitty Porn's a tough collar.

It's a lot tougher for the kids.

I mean, these are little kids, Chris. They're four and five years old.

The pop of a flash bulb and their innocence is gone.

Forever.

I think you understand.

I think you know what I'm feeling.

I think I do.

We're going to beat the odds, Captain.

We're going to beat the Malinas of this world to their knees. You and me both.

You're incredible.

You've been indefensible to me.

I'm just doing my job.

Believe me, I know smart when I see it.

You're something special, Chris. You have an energy and a zeal that excites

We have a guy at the squad room who's bottled it for you and sold it in a

profit.

Imagine what we could accomplish together.

My probing, your drive.

I'm not even going to touch that one.

I'm sorry.

Once I get started, it's hard for me to stop.

Here I am sitting opposite a beautiful, talented woman, and all I can do is run

off at the mouth.

I apologize.

Accept it.

He's so handsome, Harvey.

Smart, so... Very good at his job.

I thought you were going to start with the matchmaking.

I didn't make any matches. He invited the both of us. I happened to be taken.

He has a way about him, Harvey. You know, he gets you all fired up. He makes

remember that what you're doing is important.

What are you laughing at?

Nothing, babe.

What's so funny?

Miss October, she wants to be a computer programmer.

Me, I'm going to be a rocket scientist. What is that, Foxy Lady?

Don't look at me. It's not mine.

Not yours? What, it fall out of the sky and drop on our bed?

Found it in the boys' bathroom.

What's Harvey Jr. doing with garbage like that?

Probably reads the interviews.

Very funny, Harvey. You'll have to talk to him.

He's a healthy boy, Mary Beth. Yes, and healthy boys do not have to read about

Miss October's professional aspirations.

They're very healthy aspirations. Besides, computers are only a hobby. She

to be a marine biologist.

Tomorrow, Harvey.

I'll talk to him.

Tomorrow.

Guess what her favorite food is.

Chopped liver.

Fudge ripple ice cream.

Fascinating. Nobody should be allowed to look this good and eat fudge ripple ice

cream.

Mary Beth.

Do you think Gandhi really is her favorite movie?

Good night, Harvey.

What's your favorite movie?

Don't Touch Me. Don't Touch Me.

Do we see that together?

Probably one of those tiny movies with subtitles.

Don't Touch Me. Don't Touch Me.

Don't Touch Me.

A toast.

To us.

Why?

Your eyes really are blue.

Same color they were this afternoon.

Today they look dark.

In this light they look...

Soft and shining.

Another toast, Chris.

To you.

Anthony Trueworth, the third.

Come on, Mark. This one's different.

Five foot four.

Four and three quarters.

Gorgeous, blonde.

How's that different?

Ginger's smart.

No, I mean it. She's a professor.

Age? 35.

That doesn't matter.

You know that in the class I'm taking in night school, American cowboy manner

myth? Well, she teaches it. It's a myth.

The only real men were the Indians.

Nobody's talking to you.

Well, he is. If she's gorgeous and intelligent, then what's the problem?

She asked me out.

Now, that part I can handle, but what do I do? What did you say?

I told her I'd get back to you. Sir.

Marcus, I can't go out with her.

She's a teacher.

She reads.

Marcus, you already have a watch. You have one with a reversible wristband and

compass on the back.

See, kids today, they gotta know where they stand.

It's like the best casino.

You think about it. We'll deal later.

Good morning. Morning.

I think it's morning.

And I think that my Statue of Liberty watch just died.

You buy that off of Espresito?

Yes. I'm sorry to be late, Christine, but the book says that Alice is at the

prime age to walk, and this is the fourth time that Harvey made me wait. I

him a watch baby never walks.

That's not supposed to happen until the 10th month.

You ever read any baby books, Christine?

Articles. In the dentist's office, you know.

Well, they don't have a lot to read there, Mary Beth.

Root canal journals, tooth times, gums digest.

Her name is Alice Christine.

Yes, and you should see her, Chris. She's so cute now when she smiles. You

see her two little teeth on the top and then two little teeny tiny teeth down on

the bottom.

Makes you melt, it's so cute.

Oh, speaking about cuties, how was dinner with Mr. Brandman?

Thanks.

Dinner thumbs it up.

After dinner.

And two bottles of wine and dialogue with a lot of innuendos.

I left him in a cab headed back for his office. Can you believe that?

The ones I don't want, I can't get rid of.

Not fair, Mary Beth.

The man is totally dedicated to his work.

Set the pot for the kettle.

Words are, you ladies are catching.

Well, the word's out that you tried to. Of course, I didn't believe it. Ten

bucks says he slipped in the bathtub.

What do you got for Sergeant? A little something to beef up your jackets. A

homicide.

They found a lucky stiff in an alley behind Times Square.

Lucky stiff, you get it?

We got it.

Goodbye, Sergeant.

You're going to thank me for this later.

A little juicy one, Cagney.

Of course, you're going to have to slug it out with the DA's investigators

first.

DA's in on it?

Yeah, it's one of their own.

Uniforms on the scene recognize the body. Some sex crimes hot shot.

Their tentative ID?

You're asking me to believe that an assistant district attorney who

in sex crimes was one of your tricks last night? Look, honey, I'm a working

girl. I didn't ask him what he did for a living.

But whoever he was, yeah, he was with me.

Did he question you about anybody?

No questions. The guy came and went.

Look, this is a very dangerous job I got. These days, I'm the one who asks

questions.

Try getting a straight answer from anybody about anything.

What time do you leave here, Ms. Delmonico?

Around 12 .30. You can ask that big mouth desk clerk.

Is this your present address, telephone number?

Don't disappear, Ms. Delmonico. No, honey.

I just got my kids into a great daycare center.

I mean, you know, where am I going to go?

We'll be in touch.

Go ahead, go on.

Go ahead.

Are you sure you want to let her slide?

Oh, come on. It's not very likely.

A hundred dollars in his wallet, him out of a deuce isn't going to leave it

there.

Anyway, she's strong enough to do that kind of damage.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

So what was he doing out here in the middle of the night?

Following up on a case, Mary Beth. This is not some mugging or random beating.

Somebody wanted him out of the way.

I have advised my client not to speak to you. Oh, that's right.

There is an ongoing trial, isn't there?

Heavy charges, too.

Promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child.

Obscenity in the first degree.

Funny how the prosecuting attorney ended up dead. Are you accusing Mr. Molina?

Nobody's accusing anybody here. Have you got a warrant for his arrest? Not yet.

Well, then what exactly are you doing here? He had nothing to do with any of

that. And why did you let your client answer the question?

Because my client has got a business to run. Now, if you ladies will excuse

us... You know all about your client's business.

It'll be pretty easy to market your dirty little pictures on this baby, huh?

Sergeant, I am warning you.

I've run a mail order. Sam will handle this. Oh, that's right. I forgot.

What is it you sell? All right, Sergeant. That is enough. This is a

investigation, Mr. DeLaura. Now, your client can answer our questions here, or

we could all go downtown.

Take your pick.

Let's start over, shall we?

Where were you last night between 10 p .m. and 2 o 'clock this morning? My

client was in the bar, the Hartford Tavern on Lexington Avenue. He was there

night. You can check it out.

Bet your ass I will.

I'm not that stupid.

Sam, just shut up. If I wanted to waste your pretty boy, I would have done it

long before the trial.

Sure. Okay, we'll be over.

Thank you.

Diet soda from the manager.

We called the night bartender who remembers Melina very well.

Said he almost had to throw him out of clothing time.

So no help here.

Doesn't mean he didn't hire someone to make the hit.

Did you get a hold of the M .E.? The report is ready. He suggests we pick it

What, he can't shoot it over to the precinct? He thought we might like to

to the next of kin.

And she's on her way to the morgue.

Guess we're in between, boy.

Dr. Judith Brandman.

He's his wife, Chris.

Gonna kill us, DeVito.

Kill him.

Gonna kill him.

Thank you.

and I separated three years ago.

But you never divorced?

That would have required his attention.

Excuse me, I have to get back to the hospital.

We need a few more minutes of your attention, doctor. Ma 'am, we understand

is painful for you.

When's the last time you saw your husband, Dr. Brandman?

Last April, May.

I don't remember.

Did you talk about anything in particular?

Maybe a case he was working on. Look, I don't know why you're asking me this.

He's not part of my life anymore.

He's still your husband, and he is dead.

Don't.

I am not going to let him do this to me again.

I won't go through this.

We found his body in an alley off of Times Square.

Now, anything that you can tell us may help.

So you think it was someone Paul prosecuted?

We have to consider the possibility, yes.

He promised me.

Two years with the DA, that's all I want. Let me finish this one trial. I

leave now.

When I decided to go into medicine.

Paul thought he'd never seen me.

All those horror stories about doctors.

I just wish someone had warned me about lawyers.

Look, I'm sorry.

I can't help you.

I really have to go.

Okay, we'll go by his office. We'll pick up his calendars, his files,

everything.

I've been thinking maybe we should call the DA's office in on this one.

Terrific, Mary Beth. And we could spend all our time tripping over extra bodies.

I know more about his general cases. It might help. Mary Beth, I do know how to

investigate a homicide, okay?

And if you don't mind, I'd like to get on with it.

Christine? What?

You sure you're okay behind this one? I'm perfectly fine. I'm just trying to

my job.

The apartment's not far. I want to stop by.

Any objection?

Not from me.

Holy mother of mercy.

And I thought lawyers made the bucks.

You would think the guy could have sprung for some furniture.

A little decoration maybe. Thank you, Mr. Fry. We'll let you know when we're

through.

Oh, I got you.

Feel free to clean up.

President's Commission on Child Pornography.

Supreme Court decision on child pornography.

Child Protection Act.

Exploited children show lingering effects.

After effects of kiddie porn.

I'm going to check the bedroom.

Hey, Al. Is here the one about... Two nuns in the Piper Cup. I don't like

religious jokes. No, it's true in Arizona.

Yes, sir.

Could be helpful. Yes, sir.

Thank you for calling back.

Goodbye.

Well?

He confirms the preliminary report.

Cause of death cerebral hemorrhage due to the blow when his head hit the

pavement. But there is something new.

Multiple lacerations on the right side of the face. Suggests a heavy beating.

And that the assailant was large, probably left -handed.

See, that narrows it down.

Did you get anything from Forensics?

Nothing. What about his calendar?

Well, it's mostly public speaking engagements almost every night.

Community groups and police.

Committees on child abuse.

I wonder when he slipped.

The man was doing his service, Mary Beth.

I didn't say he wasn't.

He's got to be here somewhere, so we'll just keep digging.

Christine, you got a second? No.

Come on, Chris. You're a woman who's been around. You're mature.

Victor. If that was your attempt to win my favor, you just blew it.

Come on, what do you want me to do, bare my soul?

Do I look like a priest?

Come on, Fab, you look, I got a date tonight.

Well, she's, um... What do all the women like? I mean, I know what they like,

but what do I talk about?

Well, there's always the old stand -by, Victor.

Yourself.

Taking it home.

Victor.

It's a tattoo.

Good night, Chris.

Good night. See you tomorrow.

It's eating, huh?

It's been a tough day, Richard.

Hey, Lacey, you're an older woman. Oh, gee, look at the time. It's later than I

thought. I mean, you are married, and maybe they're not as experienced.

Good night, Victor.

It isn't easy getting enlightened.

Oh, that feels so good, sweetheart.

Did you talk to Harvey Jr.? We talked tonight.

How did it go?

Went good.

You did talk to him about that magazine?

We did.

Good.

You gonna tell me what he said or do I have to ask him?

Hey, he told me he's past that stage.

What is that supposed to mean?

I guess he's on to bigger and better things.

It isn't his.

It's Michael's.

Michael's? Yeah.

Now, relax, Marybeth. It is not that big a deal.

Our 12 -year -old son is reading Foxy Lady magazine, and you are telling me

not a big deal? Well, at least he's reading.

Look, boys look at magazines. I looked at magazines. I turned out okay.

Okay is not perfect, Harvey.

Mary Beth, boys Michael's age start getting curious about girls.

Looking at pictures like that is not the way that I want him to learn about

girls. Well, what would you rather have him do? Be a peeping Tom? Maybe play

doctor?

What are you doing? Where are you going?

Mary Beth!

I'm not in the mood for this, Harvey Lacey.

Mary Beth, you cannot protect him from this. You see it everywhere. You see it

on TV.

You see it on billboards. You see it in ladies' magazines.

Leave off!

What about underwear ads, huh?

And tell me, tell me why they need naked ladies to sell perfume. I am going to

check on our baby.

Will you answer me that?

Same as Bruce Medwin. He would have been around here sometime in the last week.

Maybe one of your friends saw him, or maybe you saw him leaving with one of

friends.

They're not going to talk to us.

Amy Medwin's already gotten to them.

Somebody got to these kids a long time ago.

It presses me talking to these three kids.

Paul was killed by a kiddie pornographer, Mary Beth, and to find

to talk to kids.

I went through his cases, narrowed it down to five.

Two skipped state. One is small time. One is PO. I haven't seen him since

Are you with me on this? Yes.

which leaves us with one Bruce Medwin, who was paroled last week. Paul nailed

him right here in a big sting operation in the 70s.

I'm telling you, Mary Beth, he is our man.

Medwin comes back to set up shop, and Paul's body is found in this very area

week after this line hit the threes.

I think Paul was on to something.

Look at these babies, Chris.

Lord, what are they doing here?

Let's keep checking the video arcades. That's where Medwin picked up his

runaways. We give him a hundred bucks, some good drugs, and then take him to a

motel.

Nice way to make a living.

That is all I need.

Right.

Thank you for your time, sir.

The parole officer finally got our message. She said Medwin had a job

freight. Did she talk to his employer?

Yes, it's an antitrust thing.

Medwin worked the night shift.

Fine.

Over Paul's convictions, pending appeal.

For scenes, this list reads like something out of Mary Poppins.

Daycare operators, postal workers, grandma.

Just your ordinary, everyday pornographers.

We've been at this all day, Chris.

Call police work, Mary Beth.

How many child pornographers and pedophiles are on that list?

Lots. There could be any one of them.

Maybe we've been looking in the wrong direction here.

I think we ought to go back to the beginning. Maybe... Cagney, line one.

Sergeant Cagney.

Hi, Charlie.

I'm fine.

Listen, Charlie, can I call you back?

I'm kind of swamped right now.

Yeah. Okay, swell.

Bye.

How's Charlie?

He's fine.

Still in the wagon?

Yeah, another drop. Three weeks. That's good. That's good.

You two going out to dinner?

I don't know, maybe.

Look at this.

Dale Hoffman.

Runs a video store on Varick. He's been charged three times.

Christine.

Lisa Delmonico was with Paul Brem in the night he got killed.

We already talked to her.

We didn't push her very hard.

Mary Beth Paul was the best at what he did, and when you're good, you have

enemies. We're looking for enemies, not some two -bit whore.

You pulling rank on me, Sergeant?

Fine, if it'll make you feel better, we will call her in and question her

tomorrow. Which is almost here.

I'd like to call it a day, all right?

Coming? No, not right now. I'm going to finish up here.

Just yourself.

Night.

Night.

Here you go, kiddo.

Harv, every single one of these is wrong side out.

I'm sorry, babe.

You know, one of these days we are going to get ourselves our own washer. No

more of this laundromat.

Yeah, maybe by then they'll invent one that sorts and folds.

Mom, have you ironed my blue shirt yet?

Ironing it tomorrow night, Michael.

Can you do it now?

Michael, I said tomorrow. That's when it's going to be. And you do know how to

use that iron yourself, young man.

Nobody forces those women to pose in those magazines.

Oh, what is this?

I can't get upset around here over anything without you pinning it on my

Who said anything about your job?

Sweetheart, you're overreacting. Don't tell me I am overreacting because I

want our son growing up thinking a woman is some piece of meat.

The boy's body is changing, babe. He doesn't know what to do. If looking at

pictures can help, who is it hurting?

I don't like it, okay?

It's degrading to me.

It's degrading to women's bodies.

You don't like it because he wants to look at him.

And by you wanting to look makes him a man? No, but what are you going to do?

Take it away? I mean, where does it stop?

You're going to keep him from going to the library? Maybe you burn a few books,

huh? I want Michael to understand that those are real people.

They have real feelings in a real life.

Don't you think I know that?

Well, did you tell him?

No, but I trust my son enough to know that he'll figure it out.

You got the problem here, Yvette.

You talk to him.

Is this your homework?

Yeah.

That's my kid.

I understand that this belongs to you.

There's a lot of very beautiful women in that magazine.

Our bodies are such a miracle, Michael.

Is that kind of like a...

Personal gift that we get.

But I think sometimes when we look at pictures like this, we forget to think

about who the person is inside.

You know what I mean? Who they are?

Yeah.

That's why I thought that it'd be a good idea if you and I were to look at these

pictures together and talk a little bit.

Do we have to, Mom?

Guess, Michael, we do.

Go ahead.

So after dinner,

we go back to her place, right?

She built me a fire. She turns on the lights real low. She pours me a cup of

brandy, right?

Okay, I'm getting really turned down now, right?

All of a sudden, she whips out a tape, pops it into the VCR.

Ooh, what was it, Samson and Delightful? Oh, no, no way. This chick's got class.

Alamo.

Now, how could she know that that was my favorite?

He came up to me on the corner. He wanted a date, so we did it.

You stink as a liar, Lisa.

Your eyes wander all over the place.

And you're sweating on your lip there. Wipe that off.

A lot of people push you around in your business, huh?

Some try.

Maybe some DA tried to lean on you because he wanted you to spill on some

porn freak, and you didn't like that.

So you hired a friend to scare him off, only this somebody went too far, and

bingo, stupid, you're in for murder.

I never did.

We never talked, just straight business, I'm telling you. You're telling me

what? You're holding out on us, and I can smell it a mile away.

Just scared sweat and cheap perfume.

He was a junk.

I never... Gee, why are you doing this to me?

You're an over -the -hill, nothing little street whore that's going up for

murder of a DA. You haven't got a prayer.

I told you, I didn't do it.

Yeah.

Goodbye, Lisa.

You're going away for a long time.

Look, my kids.

Come on, honey.

I've got babies.

Look.

You got babies?

Well, you know what happens there. The state will take them away.

No, you can't.

They'll split them up and farm them out to strangers. You know that. No, please.

Lisa, Lisa, you ought to talk to us.

He finds out. He's going to kill me.

Who?

Silky. Who is Silky?

Who is Silky?

So stupid.

You stupid, my... Yeah?

My pimp.

Yeah? What about him?

He's, uh... He's been beating up on my regulars.

Grips trying to scare me back into the fold.

Look, we're not interested in your business problems. We've got a murder

No, see?

Silky must have been laying for him.

I didn't have nothing to do with it, I swear it.

It was silky. The man's gone crazy.

Paul was one of my regulars.

I've been seeing him for a couple of years.

I liked Paul.

He was real straight.

Nothing weird.

I want to take a closer look at the Meyerhoff case.

Paul nailed him last year, but I think he was part of a bigger network.

Fred.

Could have had help from the outside.

Christine.

What?

What about Lisa Zalmonico?

What about her?

Don't tell me you believe her story.

I think we should check it out is all.

Oh, I think it's a waste of time.

She said he'd been seeing her for two years.

Because that's what she wants us to think. Any rookie can see she had it in

her pimp, Mary Beth. She just wants us to hassle him.

Maybe. Forget maybe.

Let her find somebody else to do her dirty work. What if she's telling the

truth, Chris? What? That's crazy.

Why?

Paul said that he had work to do.

Why is it so crazy? Mary Beth.

Trust me.

Paul is not the kind of guy who has to pay for a tumble every week.

How do you know that, Chris?

You heard his wife. You saw the way he lived. He closed off every day except

work. I don't even want to talk about it anymore. Let's just drop it, all right?

He may have been a good man, Christine, but don't turn him into a saint.

Stop it!

Sure, okay.

Hey, Sergeant.

Want to go do some police work?

You must be filthy.

Well, that depends who's asking.

Detective Lacey and Sergeant Cagney 14th.

Be serious.

Where'd you get that thing? Same place they hand out the warrants.

That's a shame. You and me, we could have done some real fine business

Well, maybe it's not too late.

What did you have in mind?

Some questions?

A little talk downtown?

You got no beef with me, lady cops.

I'm clean.

Really? I understand you have a beef with a few Johns.

Johns?

You see, what did I tell you? You got the wrong guy.

I sell real estate.

I'm sure you do.

Gee, I like your ring. What are those stones there?

Diamonds. That's a very heavy setting.

You could probably do some damage if you were to, say, hit somebody.

Of course, being a lefty like yourself, that could leave a real impression along

the right side of the face.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Don't be dumb.

Don't be dumb. We got backup on both doors. You're under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent. If you give up the right to remain silent,

anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law.

better than that?

Yeah, soon would be nice.

Forensics is backed up. They said they'll try to get to it tomorrow

Let's see. Wash that ring with a scrub brush. They'll find some traces.

Yeah. We'll hold them unresisting for now.

We'll get what we need to see.

We'll find some witnesses.

What do we have to do?

Damn, this headache.

Maybe I should have an aspirin.

In my locker.

Lacey, line three.

Thanks.

Detective Lacey.

Yes, sir.

I understand.

Assistant District Attorney Brewster called. He's the one who's taken over in

the Molina trial.

He wants us to bring him up to date tomorrow morning, if that's all right.

Sure.

Got to take my headache with me.

You know, the other day, when we finished testifying, I was glad and

you know?

I don't want to have to look at those pictures anymore.

I don't always know how to turn it off when I walk through my front door.

I get worn out sometimes.

But I keep trying.

You have to.

For your family, for yourself.

I guess Paul thought he had to take it home for all of us.

You know what he told me?

Last year, there were only five kiddie porn convictions in the whole city.

You believe that? Five.

I lost one of the good guys, Mary Beth.

I know Paul really cared.

Maybe he cared too much.

I can't believe you said that.

He made work his whole life, Chris.

Well, damn it.

You thought what he was up against to take somebody who's willing to fight

hard to get anything done. All I'm saying is maybe it'd be better if we

it around a little bit. Maybe share the lows. All right.

Show me all the people waiting in line to fight this one.

Nobody wants to touch kiddie porn, Mary Beth. Hell, you can't even stand to look

at the damn pictures.

We needed someone like Paul on our side.

What about the price he paid?

I really liked him.

Does it change anything that he was seeing a hooker?

I don't know.

I do know I wish it could have been different.

What a way.

Why would he want to be with her?

You had nothing to do with that, Chris.

Neither did his wife.

I'm going to take the Melina Pals home with me tonight and we'll brush up on it

for the new DA. What?

You look a little tired.

Why don't you leave it for now? We'll have plenty of time in the morning.

Night, my friend.

Night, Christine.
