[blues ballad plays]

(male voice) * SHEETS AND PILLOWS TORN TO PIECES *

[thunder]

* BLOODSTAIN ALL OVER THE WALLS... *

(Jordan) BLOODSTAINS ON THE PILLOW SHOW HE DIDN'T RESIST.

(Elaine) THEY SHOW HE DIDN'T MOVE.

THAT'S HARDLY THE SAME THING.

THE GUY WAS IN BED, ELAINE. SO?

SO HE BLED OUT SEVEN HOURS AGO, AROUND 3 A.M.

CALL ME CRAZY, BUT I FIGURE JUST MAYBE THE GUY WAS ASLEEP.

IF YOU DON'T MIND,

I'M GONNA WAIT UNTIL ALL THE FACTS COME IN.

MORNING.

WHO'S YOUR FRIEND?

HAL POMERANTZ, 43.

SOMEONE DECIDED TO AIR-CONDITION HIS NECK.

GROSS.

YOU CAN EXPECT A VISIT FROM HIS WIDOW LATER ON THIS MORNING.

AS SOON AS SHE'S DONE LYING TO THE POLICE.

THAT'S UNFAIR.

DID I MISS SOMETHING?

HAL HERE WAS KILLED IN HIS SLEEP.

NO SIGNS OF FORCED ENTRY, NO SIGN OF A STRUGGLE,

NO-BRAINER-- IT WAS THE WIFE.

SHE SAYS SHE WAS AT HER MOTHER'S HOUSE ALL NIGHT.

RIGHT, AND I'VE GOT CIRCUS CLOWNS JUGGLING IN MY BUTT.

THAT WOULD EXPLAIN A LOT.

I'LL MAKE SOME TIME IN MY SCHEDULE.

YOU'RE A REAL PIECE OF WORK, YOU KNOW THAT?

THEY ALL SAY THAT, MAN.

BUT SOONER OR LATER, I ALWAYS GET THE BAD GUY.

YOU HAVE GOT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT DR. CAVANAUGH.

ACTUALLY, I DON'T. THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF BEING THE BOSS.

CANCEL MY LUNCH WITH WHAT'S-HIS-FACE

FROM THE FORENSIC GUILD.

AGAIN? I HATE HIM.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME. I HATE HIM A LOT.

GARRET, I'M SERIOUS. SHE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO WORK WITH.

HERE'S A TIP: IT'S EASIER IF YOU DON'T LISTEN WHEN SHE TALKS.

D.A. WALCOTT'S OFFICE CALLED AGAIN [thunder]

REGARDING THE FISHER CASE.

TELL D.A. WALCOTT'S OFFICE THEY'LL GET MY REPORT

WHEN IT'S FINISHED.

OKAY, BUT SHE WANTS TO SPEAK TO YOU DIRECTLY.

WE ALL WANT THINGS WE CAN'T HAVE, EMMY.

I WANTED TO BE TALLER.

I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT'S A EUPHEMISM.

SINCE WHEN DOES BEING D.A.

GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO BREAK INTO PEOPLE'S OFFICES?

SINCE WHEN DOES BEING CHIEF M.E.

GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO IMPEDE A MURDER CASE?

I ASSUME YOU'RE REFERRING TO THE FISHER AUTOPSY.

OR AS WE CALL IT DOWNTOWN, THE ALLEGED FISHER AUTOPSY.

WE'RE STILL RUNNING TESTS. YOU'VE HAD THE DAMN BODY FOR FOUR DAYS.

HOW MANY TESTS DO YOU NEED? AS MANY AS IT TAKES TO GET IT RIGHT.

YOU SHOULD PUT THAT ON A BUMPER STICKER.

ACTUALLY, IT'S TATTOOED ON MY ASS.

YOU WANT TO SEE IT?

OKAY.

I KNOW THAT THINGS HAVEN'T BEEN EXACTLY...

COLLEGIAL BETWEEN US SINCE I TOOK OFFICE.

DO YOU MEAN YOUR UNAUTHORIZED HIRING OF MORGUE PERSONNEL?

OR UNDERMINING MY AUTHORITY AT EVERY TURN?

I DON'T LIKE YOU, MACY. I NEVER HAVE.

YOU'RE AN ARROGANT, STUBBORN, SELF-RIGHTEOUS SON OF A BITCH.

I'M WOUNDED.

NOT YET.

BUT IF YOU KEEP GETTING IN MY WAY...

YOU WILL BE.

[thunder]

[suspenseful rock music]

NEED YOUR JOHN HANCOCK, DR. M.

ANOTHER DNA APPEAL

FROM OUR FRIENDS AT THE JUSTICE PROJECT.

"MICHAEL PASCAL, CONVICTED OF FIRST DEGREE MURDER IN 1995.

SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON."

ASK ME, THE WANKER GOT OFF EASY.

WELL, THE JUSTICE PROJECT'S

GOTTEN A LOT OF INNOCENT PEOPLE OUT OF JAIL.

TAMMY TATE. SIX YEARS OLD.

DISAPPEARED FROM A PLAYGROUND IN ALSTON.

FOUND RAPED AND MUTILATED TEN DAYS LATER.

NIGEL-- ACCORDING TO THE RECORD,

NEITHER SIDE RAN PASCAL'S DNA

AGAINST SAMPLES TAKEN FROM THE VICTIM.

SOUNDS LIKE CAUSE FOR AN APPEAL.

YEAH, BUT PASCAL HAD A RECORD OF DIDDLING KIDS LONG BEFORE--

NIGEL...

RUN THE TEST.

WHEN I MET HAL, HE WAS SO...

SWEET.

A PERFECT GENTLEMAN.

SO WHAT CHANGED?

WELL, HIS PARENTS WERE BOTH ALCOHOLICS.

HE--HE WENT THROUGH HELL AS A KID.

AND THAT LEAVES SCARS.

MM-HMM.

WHEN HAL FIRST STARTED DRINKING,

HE SWORE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM.

AND THE FIRST TIME THAT HE HIT ME,

HE CRIED FOR A WEEK.

[thunder]

BUT IT DIDN'T STOP.

I LIVED WITH A GUY AFTER COLLEGE...

MIKE.

HE HAD RED HAIR.

REALLY CUTE.

[giggles]

ONE NIGHT WE WENT TO A PARTY.

DRANK WAY TOO MUCH.

AND ON THE WAY HOME WE HAD AN ARGUMENT ABOUT SOMETHING.

HE SLAPPED ME ACROSS THE FACE.

HARD.

WHAT DID YOU DO?

I LEFT.

DID YOU EVER TRY TO LEAVE HAL?

MANY TIMES.

SO WHAT HAPPENED?

HEY.

HE SAID HE COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT ME,

THAT IF I LEFT HIM, HE'D FIND ME AND KILL ME,

AND HE'D GO AFTER MY WHOLE FAMILY.

[sobs]

WELL, YOU'RE ALL SAFE NOW.

THAT'S WHAT I TOLD MYSELF WHEN I CUT HAL'S THROAT.

[thunder]

[typing on computer]

SHAVING CREAM.

YOUR TOURETTE'S IS GETTING WORSE.

THERE'S SHAVING CREAM MIXED IN WITH HAL POMERANTZ'S BLOOD.

IT WAS A NECK WOUND.

HE PROBABLY SHAVED BEFORE HE WENT TO BED.

THIS STUFF IS UNDER THE SKIN.

SMART MONEY SAYS THAT IT CAME OFF THE MURDER WEAPON.

HEY, JUST WANTED TO CHECK IN ON THE POMERANTZ CASE.

UH, THE VICTIM WAS KILLED BY A SINGLE SLASH TO THE THROAT.

A WOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE STRAIGHT RAZORS

KEPT IN THE POMERANTZ' MEDICINE CABINET.

HIS BAC IS .13.

WOW, LOOKS LIKE HAL LIKED TO TIE ONE ON

EVERY NOW AND AGAIN.

LIGHT BRUISING ON THE KNUCKLES.

TELLTALE SIGN OF SPOUSAL ABUSE.

THAT'S PURE CONJECTURE.

POLICE RECORDS SHOW THERE WERE TWO DOMESTIC DISPUTE CALLS

TO THE POMERANTZ HOME IN THE LAST EIGHT MONTHS.

SO WHAT DO THE POLICE THINK?

THAT BETH POMERANTZ KILLED HER HUSBAND

AND THAT SHE JUST MIGHT GET AWAY WITH IT.

THERE IS NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE LINKING HER TO THIS CRIME.

NOT YET.

BUT I'M JUST GETTIN' STARTED.

SO YOU SPOKE WITH BETH POMERANTZ.

YEAH.

ANYTHING WE SHOULD KNOW?

NO.

EXCUSE ME. I'M GOT AN APPOINTMENT.

HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU RUN IT?

THRICE.

SURE ABOUT THE SAMPLE?

DNA FOUND ON TAMMY TATE'S BLOUSE.

ONLY THREE OUT OF FIVE OF PASCAL'S STR LOCI MATCH.

INCONCLUSIVE.

IT'S 60% CONCLUSIVE.

IT'S INCONCLUSIVE, NIGEL.

HIS DNA DOESN'T MATCH UP WITH THE EVIDENCE.

THERE MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE CAN DO.

WE CAN'T JUST LET PASCAL WALK.

I DON'T LIKE THIS ANY MORE THAN YOU DO,

BUT IT'S NOT OUR JOB TO DECIDE IF THIS GUY'S GUILTY.

AT LEAST LET ME GET MY HANDS ON THE ORIGINAL TEST

FROM SEVEN YEARS AGO.

THE CASE FILE SAID NO TEST WAS EVER RUN.

WELL, UH, I DUG UP TAMMY TATE'S AUTOPSY REPORT.

AND THERE WAS A REQUEST FOR GENETIC MATERIAL

TO RUN DNA TESTING ON MICHAEL PASCAL.

WHO MADE THE REQUEST?

IF IT ISN'T THE ANGEL OF DEATH.

COULDN'T SMUGGLE YOUR SICKLE THROUGH SECURITY?

TRUST ME, YOU'RE GONNA WISH I HAD.

I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR GAMES, MACY.

YOU HAD TIME SEVEN YEARS AGO.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS V. PASCAL.

RING A BELL?

1995, MY FIRST MURDER CASE IN BOSTON.

WE PUT AWAY A CHILD KILLER.

DID YOU RUN A DNA TEST TO CONFIRM HIS GUILT?

I DON'T RECALL.

LET ME REFRESH YOUR MEMORY.

TWO INCONCLUSIVE DNA TESTS.

THE ONE ON THE RIGHT WE RAN AT THE OFFICE THIS MORNING.

THE ONE ON THE LEFT WAS RUN IN 1995 BY THE STATE CRIME LAB

AT THE REQUEST OF THE A.D.A., ONE RENEE WALCOTT.

IS THERE A POINT HERE?

YOU NEVER MADE YOUR TEST RESULTS PART OF THE RECORD.

IT WAS PROBABLY JUST AN OVERSIGHT.

AND THAT'S A LIE!

PASCAL MIGHT HAVE WALKED ON AN INCONCLUSIVE DNA TEST,

BUT YOU WEREN'T ABOUT TO LET THAT HAPPEN, WERE YOU?

NOT ON YOUR FIRST BIG CASE.

HE MURDERED A SIX-YEAR-OLD CHILD.

MAYBE, MAYBE NOT, BUT YOU VIOLATED THE RULES OF EVIDENCE.

NOW I'M GONNA HAVE TO GO IN THERE AND TELL THE TRUTH.

EVEN IF PASCAL WALKS.

I DID MY JOB.

YEAH.

NOW I HAVE TO DO MINE.

YOU LOOK PENSIVE.

HI, DR. DUCHAMPS.

WHY DON'T YOU CALL ME ELAINE?

SURE, OKAY.

I WONDER HOW MANY MEN LIKE HAL POMERANTZ ARE OUT THERE.

TOO MANY.

DR. CAVANAUGH SHOULDN'T HAVE ASKED YOU

ABOUT YOUR SESSION WITH HIS WIDOW TODAY.

AW, THAT'S JUST JORDAN BEING JORDAN.

SHE'S GREAT AT HER JOB.

I SUPPOSE, BUT SOMETHING TELLS ME SHE COULDN'T DO YOURS.

SOME DAYS ARE HARDER THAN OTHERS.

I BET.

IT'S A BIG RESPONSIBILITY HEARING PEOPLE'S DARKEST SECRETS

AND PROMISING NEVER TO DISCLOSE THEM.

I TALKED TO DR. STILES TODAY.

HE SAYS THAT A THERAPIST SHOULD ONLY BREAK CONFIDENTIALITY

TO PROTECT THE PATIENT OR OTHERS FROM HARM.

THAT CAN BE A HARD CALL TO MAKE.

[sighs heavily] TELL ME ABOUT IT.

YOU DO WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT.

ANYBODY DOESN'T LIKE IT,

YOU CAN TELL THEM TO JUST GO TO HELL.

ALWAYS WORKS FOR ME.

CLEAN UNDER HERE.

CHECK HER SHOES.

I BEG YOUR PARDON?

IN THE CLOSET.

THERE WAS A LOT OF BLOOD. MAYBE SHE GOT SLOPPY.

I'M SORRY.

I, UM, I THOUGHT THE INVESTIGATORS

WERE FINISHED UP HERE.

YOU MUST BE MRS. POMERANTZ.

THAT'S RIGHT.

I'M JORDAN CAVANAUGH, WITH THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S OFFICE.

WE'RE JUST DOING A LITTLE, UH,

FOLLOW-UP ON YOUR HUSBAND'S DEATH.

WELL, UM--

UM...

I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT, AND ALL MY CLOTHES ARE IN HERE.

LOVELY SHOES.

AND I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

YEAH, THIS MUST BE A VERY TOUGH TIME FOR YOU.

IT IS.

WELL, WE WON'T KEEP YOU.

I DO WANT TO MAKE YOU A PROMISE, THOUGH.

NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES,

I'M GONNA FIND WHOEVER KILLED YOUR HUSBAND.

(male attorney) DR. MACY, DID YOUR OFFICE TEST MR. PASCAL'S DNA

AND MATCH IT AGAINST THE MATERIAL

FOUND ON TAMMY TATE'S BODY?

YES.

AND HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE THOSE RESULTS?

ACCORDING TO THE TEST,

MR. PASCAL'S DNA IS NOT A CONCLUSIVE MATCH.

YOUR HONOR, THE PEOPLE STRENUOUSLY SUPPORT THE VERDICT

IN THIS CASE.

MICHAEL PASCAL RAPED AND MURDERED TAMMY TATE.

WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE COURT CONSIDER

THE ENTIRE RECORD IN THIS MATTER.

(attorney) WELL, THAT'S A SWITCH.

I'M SORRY?

THE D.A. WAS IN POSSESSION

OF THIS POTENTIALLY EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE

DURING MY CLIENT'S TRIAL IN 1995,

AND FAILED TO PRODUCE IT.

THIS MAN WAS RAILROADED.

GRANDSTANDING ASIDE, YOUR HONOR--

DO YOU DENY THE AUTHENTICITY OF THIS DOCUMENT, MS. WALCOTT?

NO, SIR. HOWEVER, THE PEOPLE-- THAT'S ENOUGH.

I'M OVERTURNING THIS VERDICT.

MR. PASCAL, YOU ARE FREE TO GO.

THERE WILL BE AN INQUIRY INTO PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT

IN THIS MATTER.

WE ARE ADJOURNED.

YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THE LAST OF THIS.

DR. MACY.

I'M MELISSA TATE.

MY DAUGHTER TAMMY WAS KILLED SEVEN YEARS AGO.

I'M TERRIBLY SORRY.

THE ONLY THING THAT'S ALLOWED ME TO KEEP LIVING

WAS THE FACT THAT MICHAEL PASCAL WAS BEHIND BARS.

MRS. TATE, I HAD NO CHOICE--

SOMEONE HAD QUITE A DAY DOWNTOWN.

HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT IT?

[laughing] YOU'RE JOKING, RIGHT?

YOU FRIED THE D.A. IN OPEN COURT.

THE WHOLE BLOODY BUILDING'S BUZZING ABOUT IT.

GREAT.

LOOK, IT WASN'T MY INTENTION TO EMBARRASS RENEE WALCOTT.

SO I GUESS IT'S JUST ONE OF LIFE'S HAPPY COINCIDENCES.

YOU SEEM A TAD NONPLUSSED.

MICHAEL PASCAL'S A FREE MAN BECAUSE OF ME.

ALL DUE RESPECT, DR. M.,

HE'S FREE BECAUSE HIS DNA DIDN'T MATCH THE EVIDENCE,

JUST LIKE YOU SAID.

LOOK, YOU AND I BOTH KNOW HE STILL COULDA DONE IT.

BUT THE JUDGE'S RULING MEANS HE CAN NEVER BE RETRIED

FOR THAT LITTLE GIRL'S MURDER.

YOU DID YOUR JOB.

TELL THAT TO TAMMY TATE'S MOTHER.

LOOK, CHILD KILLERS USUALLY WORK IN PATTERNS, RIGHT?

SO?

SO SEVEN YEARS AGO,

PASCAL WAS ONLY CHARGED WITH TAMMY TATE'S MURDER.

YOU THINK THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ANOTHER VICTIM?

CAN'T SAY.

BUT IF THERE WERE...

WE'VE GOT PASCAL'S DNA.

IT'S A LONG SHOT.

YOU'VE MADE 'EM BEFORE.

SO LET ME GET THIS RIGHT.

ELAINE DUCHAMPS PHYSICALLY TOUCHED YOU

IN A NURTURING MANNER.

RIGHT HERE.

THAT'S ODD.

YEAH, WELL, IT KINDA TOOK ME BY SURPRISE,

BUT SHE WAS REALLY SUPPORTIVE.

OH.

I SUPPOSE ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

[clears throat]

SO, UM, ABOUT THE POMERANTZ CASE.

YOU KNOW I CAN'T TALK ABOUT THAT.

RIGHT.

IT'S JUST JORDAN CAME TO SEE ME EARLIER.

WHAT FOR?

WELL, SHE KNOWS WE'RE FRIENDS--

OH, MY GOD. THAT IS THE LOWEST.

DON'T BE MAD. SHE JUST WANTS TO KNOW IF YOU'RE OKAY.

NO, SHE WANTS TO KNOW WHAT BETH POMERANTZ TOLD ME.

I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THIS.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO GO TO DR. MACY.

RELAX, LILY.

NOBODY HERE IS OUT TO GET YOU.

LEBOWSKI?

UH, THERE MUST BE SOME SORT OF A MIX-UP.

WE ALREADY GOT OUR ORDER.

YOU, UH, LILY LEBOWSKI?

YEAH, BUT I TRY TO LIMIT MYSELF TO ONE PIE A DAY,

SINCE THE TUMMY TUCK.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

IT'S A SUMMONS TO TESTIFY AT A HEARING

ON THE MURDER OF HAL J. POMERANTZ.

STILL THINK NO ONE HERE IS OUT TO GET ME?

THAT STUFF WILL GIVE YOU NIGHTMARES.

TELL ME ABOUT IT.

WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN ALL DAY?

POMERANTZ CRIME SCENE.

AGAIN?

THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMETHING I MISSED.

WE GOT CAUSE OF DEATH, RIGHT?

YEAH, BUT I KNOW THE WIFE KILLED HIM.

I STILL CAN'T PROVE IT.

ISSUE THE DEATH CERTIFICATE

AND LET THE COPS AND LAWYERS DO THEIR JOBS.

YOU'RE ONE TO TALK.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR LITTLE SLICE AND DICE

ON A CERTAIN DISTRICT ATTORNEY?

NICE.

I HAD NO CHOICE.

YOU WORKING A JUVENILE HOMICIDE?

YEAH, KINDA.

I UNDERSTAND LILY WAS CALLED TO TESTIFY

AT A HEARING ON YOUR CASE.

YEAH, I HEARD THAT.

SHE'S IN A TOUGH SPOT.

SHE HAS TO MAINTAIN PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY.

AND WE HAVE CASES TO SOLVE.

JORDAN.

WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME TEAM HERE.

YEAH, BUT NO ONE SHOULD GET AWAY WITH MURDER.

(Macy) YOU GOT A SECOND?

I'M LATE FOR A MEETING WITH THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

SEEMS HE GETS KINDA PEEVISH WHEN CHILD KILLERS GOES FREE.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT.

I THINK YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH TALKING, DON'T YOU?

WILL YOU JUST STOP?

JEREMY MORAN.

WHO?

SIX-YEAR-OLD BOY, WENT MISSING EIGHT MONTHS

BEFORE TAMMY TATE WAS KILLED.

THAT SUCKS. WHAT'S THE POINT?

JEREMY WAS LAST SEEN

LESS THAN FOUR MILES AWAY

FROM WHERE THE GIRL'S BODY WAS FOUND.

ANY EVIDENCE THE MORAN BOY WAS KILLED?

NO.

WITHOUT PHYSICAL EVIDENCE,

THERE'S NOTHING TO CONNECT PASCAL.

THAT'S WHY I'M GONNA FIND JEREMY MORAN'S BODY.

YOU'RE GONNA GO CHASING AROUND FOR THE BODY OF A BOY

WHO MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN KILLED SEVEN YEARS AGO.

AND I CAN USE SOME HELP. FORGET IT. THIS IS YOUR GUILT TRIP.

I PUT PASCAL AWAY. YOU LET HIM WALK.

THAT'S CRAP, WALCOTT!

YOU COULD HAVE DISCLOSED PASCAL'S DNA TEST

AND STILL HAD A CHANCE AT NAILING HIM.

INSTEAD YOU DECIDE TO PULL SOME HALF-ASSED COVER-UP.

HE KILLED THAT LITTLE GIRL.

THEN HELP ME PUT HIM AWAY...

THE RIGHT WAY THIS TIME.

(Bug) YOU'RE ENTITLED TO A LAWYER, LILY.

I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG.

OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE LESS THAN FAMILIAR

WITH OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.

I CAN'T AFFORD A LAWYER, OKAY.

THE M.E.'S OFFICE WILL PAY FOR IT.

IT WAS SWEET OF YOU TO COME,

BUT YOU'RE STARTING TO MAKE ME NERVOUS.

IT'S ABOUT TIME.

HEY, GUYS.

I WAS WORRIED.

I CAME BY TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING I CAN DO.

YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH ALREADY.

JORDAN, THIS PROBABLY ISN'T THE BEST TIME.

LOOK, I'M SORRY.

I BELIEVE BETH POMERANTZ KILLED HER HUSBAND.

IT'S MY JOB TO PROVE IT.

YOU DON'T CARE WHOSE THROAT YOU CUT IN THE PROCESS.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

PLEASE, YOU WERE SO CONVINCED THAT BETH POMERANTZ

CONFESSED TO ME

THAT YOU CALLED IN THE D.A. TO DO YOUR DIRTY WORK.

I WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THE TRUTH IS YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING TO SOLVE A CASE.

I JUST NEVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD STOOP TO THIS.

THE COURT RESPECTS THERAPEUTIC CONFIDENTIALITY.

BUT IN THE CASE OF A HOMICIDE, IT'S IMPERATIVE

THE WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE BE PROTECTED.

YES, YOUR HONOR.

DID YOU COUNSEL BETH POMERANTZ

IN THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S OFFICE

SHORTLY AFTER HER HUSBAND'S DEATH?

I DID.

DID SHE POSSESS SPECIFIC MATERIAL KNOWLEDGE

OF THIS CRIME?

I'M SORRY?

IN OTHER WORDS,

DID MS. POMERANTZ TELL YOU WHO KILLED HER HUSBAND?

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,

WHATEVER BETH POMERANTZ TOLD ME WAS IN CONFIDENCE.

UNDERSTAND, MS. LEBOWSKI,

THAT WHILE INFORMAL, THIS IS A LEGAL FORUM.

YOU ARE UNDER OATH.

I KNOW THAT.

IF YOU REFUSE TO ANSWER,

I'LL BE FORCED TO CITE YOU FOR CONTEMPT.

WHEN I CLOSE MY DOOR TO COUNSEL SOMEONE,

I'M MAKING THAT PERSON A PROMISE

THAT THEY CAN TRUST ME.

PERHAPS YOU'D LIKE TO RECESS

AND CONSULT AN ATTORNEY?

NO.

YES.

ARE YOU AN ATTORNEY, SIR?

UH, NO.

THEN SIT DOWN.

LAST CHANCE, MS. LEBOWSKI.

I'VE GOT NOTHING TO SAY.

OFFICERS, PLEASE TAKE THE WITNESS INTO CUSTODY.

(Walcott) ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT,

JEREMY MORAN WAS LAST SEEN PLAYING

ON THOSE SWINGS OVER THERE.

WASN'T ANYONE WATCHING HIM?

HIS MOTHER WAS ON ONE OF THOSE BENCHES,

TALKING WITH A FRIEND.

SHE LOOKED UP. HER SON WAS GONE.

WHAT ABOUT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY IN THE PARK?

ANYONE HANGING AROUND?

I SPOKE WITH THE DETECTIVE IN CHARGE.

THEY INTERVIEWED EVERYONE,

SCOURED THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE ONLY THING THEY FOUND WAS THE KID'S JACKET.

AFTER THE TATE MURDER,

DID ANYONE TRY TO LINK THE CASES? NO. NO, MACY.

EVERYONE'S BEEN SITTING ON THEIR HANDS

WAITING FOR QUINCY 2000 TO BREAK THE CASE WIDE OPEN.

YOU SHOULD REALLY CONSIDER ANGER MANAGEMENT.

IT HELPS PEOPLE.

THEY COMBED THE ENTIRE AREA WHERE THE TATE GIRL WAS FOUND.

NOTHING. I SAY WE GO BACK IN.

ORDER SOME EARTH MOVERS, CADAVER DOGS.

YOU'RE REACHIN'.

IF YOU GOT ANY GREAT IDEAS,

I'D LOVE TO HEAR THEM.

I GOT CONTACTS AT THE FBI. THEY'LL LEND US A PROFILER.

WE DON'T HAVE THAT KINDA TIME.

RIGHT, WE WOULDN'T WANNA KILL THE MOMENTUM

WE'VE BUILT UP SO FAR.

YOU AND ME TEAMING UP WAS A BAD IDEA.

FINALLY COMMON GROUND. WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK TO THE OFFICE.

FIGURE OUT A WAY TO COVER YOUR ASS WITH THE GOVERNOR.

I'LL HANDLE THIS MYSELF.

GOD KNOWS YOU MUST BE USED TO THAT.

BEAUTIFUL DAY.

LIKE I WAS SAYING, PARTNER,

WHAT'S OUR NEXT MOVE?

WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SEEING US ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE.

THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DIFFICULT SUBJECT.

WE'RE HAPPY TO HELP ANY WAY WE CAN.

A LITTLE GIRL NAMED TAMMY TATE WAS ABDUCTED AND KILLED

SHORTLY AFTER YOUR SON JEREMY DISAPPEARED.

THAT'S HORRIBLE. (Macy) WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA

WHO KILLED THE TATE GIRL.

SO WHY NOT ARREST HIM?

WELL, IT'S--IT'S COMPLICATED.

OUR BEST SHOT AT NAILING THIS GUY

IS TO PROVE THAT HE ABDUCTED BOTH KIDS.

THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT IS TO LOCATE JEREMY'S REMAINS.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THERE MAYBE FORENSIC CLUES ON THE BODY--

YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT JEREMY AS IF HE'S DEAD.

MY SON ISN'T DEAD. HE'S OUT THERE SOMEWHERE--

THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO HELP US.

WE CERTAINLY HOPE YOUR BOY'S OKAY.

BUT IF THERE'S ANYWAY YOU CAN HELP US OUT WITH--

MY HUSBAND SAID YOU WERE TRYING TO BRING MY BABY HOME.

UNFORTUNATELY, MRS. MORAN,

THE LIKELIHOOD OF A FAVORABLE OUTCOME

AFTER SEVEN YEARS IS VERY LOW.

GET OUT. VICKIE, DON'T--

HOW DARE YOU COME INTO THIS HOUSE

AND SPEAK TO US LIKE THIS. GET OUT!

YOU EVER CONSIDER BECOMING A SHRINK?

YOU GOT THAT NICE LIGHT TOUCH.

OH, SO THAT WAS MY FAULT?

I'M NOT SURE FATALITY STATS ON MISSING KIDS

WAS THE BEST ICEBREAKER.

I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A POINT.

THIS ISN'T A COURTROOM, COUNSELOR.

THESE ARE HUMAN BEINGS IN PAIN. WHAT MAKES YOU AN EXPERT?

BESIDES 20 YEARS HELPING PEOPLE CONFRONT DEATH?

THE MASSIVE EGO. I WAS BEGINNING TO MISS IT. IT'S INCREDIBLE!

YOU REALLY CAN'T ADMIT WHEN YOU'RE WRONG, CAN YOU?

I DON'T WASTE MY TIME WITH REGRETS.

I'M ABOUT RESULTS.

SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE SOCIOPATH.

(Mr. Moran) DR. MACY.

I WANTED TO APOLOGIZE. VICKY STILL HASN'T, UH--

NO, LISTEN--

IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE.

WE TRIED EVERYTHING-- THERAPY, HYPNOSIS.

SHE JUST CAN'T LET JEREMY GO.

THE DETECTIVE GAVE US THIS

WHEN THEY CLOSED THE CASE.

THEY FOUND IT AT THE PARK.

JEREMY WAS WEARING IT THE DAY HE DISAPPEARED.

THANK YOU.

YOU FIND MY BOY.

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER...

YOU FIND HIM.

WE DON'T USUALLY ALLOW RELATIVES BACK HERE.

TO BE HONEST, DR. CAVANAUGH,

I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHY I'M HERE.

THE THING IS, BETH--

I'M SORRY. IS IT OKAY IF I CALL YOU BETH?

SURE.

SOMETIMES YOU'LL GET A CASE THAT'S JUST A BITCH.

YOU RUN EVERY TEST. YOU ANALYZE EVERY FIBER.

AND YOU STILL CAN'T NAIL DOWN THE TRUTH

ABOUT HOW SOMEONE DIED.

THAT MUST BE FRUSTRATING.

TAKE YOUR HUSBAND, FOR INSTANCE.

CLEARLY SOMEONE HAD A RAZOR

AND A SERIOUS BONE TO PICK WITH HAL.

A PERSON WOULD HAVE TO BE PRETTY DAMN ANGRY

TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, WOULDN'T YOU THINK?

I DON'T KNOW.

I SUPPOSE SO.

WELL, IT'S NOT LIKE YOUR HUSBAND

WAS EXACTLY MOTHER TERESA, RIGHT?

I MEAN, I CHECKED OUT HIS LIVER.

OLD HAL WAS A MAJOR BOOZE HOUND.

I REALLY DON'T APPRECIATE YOUR TONE, DOCTOR.

TOO ABUSIVE?

LIKE WHEN HE USED TO SLAP YOU AROUND

AFTER HE'D HAD A FEW?

WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS?

YOUR HUSBAND WAS A REAL BASTARD.

HOW DARE YOU?

HE WAS A DRUNK AND AN ABUSER.

WHOEVER KILLED HIM PROBABLY DID THE WORLD A BIG FAVOR.

THERE'S JUST ONE PROBLEM.

WHAT'S THAT?

WHEN A HUMAN BEING,

NO MATTER HOW HATEFUL, IS KILLED,

SOCIETY DEMANDS THAT SOMEONE BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

NOW, MY FRIEND LILY IS SITTING IN JAIL RIGHT NOW.

SHE'S PAYING THE PRICE FOR YOUR HUSBAND'S DEATH.

I NEVER MEANT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.

I KNOW.

I ALSO KNOW THAT WHAT HE DID TO YOU

WAS CRUEL AND WRONG.

BUT IT STILL DOESN'T JUSTIFY

PUNISHING AN INNOCENT PERSON FOR HIS MURDER.

I COULDN'T LET HAL RUIN MY LIFE.

THE QUESTION IS

ARE YOU PREPARED TO LET HIM RUIN SOMEONE ELSE'S?

FOUND A FEW GRAINS OF BLEACHED DIRT

IN THE LINING OF THE JACKET.

ANYTHING WE CAN USE?

WON'T KNOW TILL I RUN A GAS CHROMATOGRAPH

WITH MASS SPECTROMETER.

AGAIN WITH THE TESTS.

WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON?

I'M TRACKING THE POSSIBLE ROOTS

BETWEEN JEREMY'S SCHOOL AND THE PARK

WHERE HE DISAPPEARED.

DON'T YOU HAVE AN ASSISTANT TO DO THAT SORT OF STUFF?

BELIEVE IT OR NOT,

WE DO MORE THAN PUSH PAPERS AT THE D.A.'S OFFICE.

WONDER WHICH IS WORSE,

KNOWING YOUR CHILD IS DEAD

OR NEVER KNOWING?

WELL, I LOST MY DAUGHTER ONE TIME

IN A DEPARTMENT STORE WHEN SHE WAS THREE YEARS OLD.

TOOK OVER AN HOUR TO FIND HER.

I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA HAVE A STROKE.

WHERE WAS SHE?

THE TV DEPARTMENT.

LYING ON THE FLOOR WATCHING SESAME STREET.

YOU WERE LUCKY.

YEAH.

EDDIE AND I TRIED TO CONCEIVE

FOR FIVE YEARS.

EDDIE?

MY EX, GREAT GUY.

SO WHAT HAPPENED?

HE WANTED TO BE A DAD,

AND I COULDN'T MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

UM, THESE TESTS GONNA TAKE AWHILE?

AN HOUR OR SO.

I'M GONNA FIND A SOFA SOMEWHERE.

USE MY OFFICE.

RENEE.

THERE'S A PILLOW IN THE CABINET.

[Velvet Underground's "Pale Blue Eyes"]

* SOMETIMES I FEEL SO HAPPY *

* BUT MOSTLY YOU JUST MAKE ME MAD *

* BABY, YOU JUST MAKE ME MAD *

* LINGER ON *

* YOUR PALE BLUE EYES... *

DR. DUCHAMPS.

THANK YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I BROUGHT YOU SOME SUPPLIES.

TOOTHBRUSH.

MAGAZINES.

THEY CONFISCATED THE SCRUNCHY.

THEY PROBABLY THOUGHT I'D HANG MYSELF WITH IT.

I, UM, REALLY APPRECIATE THIS, ELAINE.

HOW YOU HOLDIN' UP?

I'M FINE.

IT'S NOT EXACTLY THE FOUR SEASONS.

I HAVE A LOT OF ADMIRATION FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING, LILY.

THANK YOU.

NOW I WANT YOU TO STOP.

I'M SORRY.

YOU STOOD UP FOR YOUR PRINCIPLES.

THAT TAKES COURAGE.

BUT THE POLICE ARE EVENTUALLY GOING TO MAKE THEIR CASE

AGAINST BETH POMERANTZ. WHEN THEY DO,

IT'LL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ME.

THAT COULD TAKE WEEKS, EVEN MONTHS.

I KNOW THIS JUDGE.

SHE'S NOT GONNA LET YOU JUST WALK OUT OF HERE.

I CAN HOLD OUT AS LONG AS SHE CAN.

THIS IS NOT AN ENDURANCE CONTEST, LILY.

BAD THINGS HAPPEN IN HERE.

I'M NOT SCARED.

WELL, YOU SHOULD BE.

I LOVE WHAT I DO, ELAINE.

I BELIEVE IN IT.

EVERYONE NEEDS A PLACE THEY CAN GO TO FEEL SAFE.

NO ONE WILL THINK ANY LESS OF YOU

IF YOU TELL THE JUDGE WHAT YOU KNOW.

NO ONE BUT ME.

* *

* LINGER ON *

* YOUR PALE BLUE EYES * *

TAKE A PICTURE. IT'LL LAST LONGER.

YOU'RE UP.

I COULDN'T SLEEP. YOU CALL THIS THING A COUCH?

SORRY.

THEY SAVE THE BIG BUCKS FOR THE FOLKS DOWNTOWN.

YOU CARRY THAT CHIP AROUND ON YOUR SHOULDER AT NIGHT TOO?

I GOT THE RESULTS BACK ON THE GCMS.

THESE ARE THE COMPONENTS OF THE SOIL I TOOK OFF

OF JEREMY MORAN'S JACKET.

IT'S A FAIRLY STANDARD MIX OF CHEMICAL AND ORGANIC MATTER,

EXCEPT FOR THIS.

(Walcott) WHAT IS IT?

DICUMYL PEROXIDE.

THAT'S SUPPOSED TO MEAN SOMETHING TO ME?

ONE WORD, BENJAMIN: PLASTICS.

(Macy) ARE YOU SERIOUS?

YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THE GRADUATE?

NO.

CAN WE POSSIBLY MOVE ON? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

GROUND PENETRATING RADAR. DETECTS ANY SHIFT IN THE SOIL.

THEY FOUND JEREMY'S JACKET IN THE PARK

WHERE HE DISAPPEARED.

RIGHT.

SO HOW DID DIRT GET IN HIS JACKET

FROM OUTSIDE A PLASTICS FACTORY.

OKAY, I'M GUESSING PASCAL CAME HERE FIRST

TO FIND A PLACE TO DUMP THE BODY.

WE'RE ONLY THREE-QUARTERS OF A MILE AWAY

FROM THE PARK WHERE JEREMY WAS LAST SEEN.

WHEN HE WENT BACK TO SNATCH THE KID,

SOIL WAS TRANSFERRED FROM HIM ONTO THE JACKET.

YOU'RE JOKING, RIGHT?

[dogs barking]

SON OF A BITCH GOT HERE FIRST.

HE'S COVERING HIS TRACKS.

GETTIN' READY TO MAKE NEW ONES.

(Walcott) I CAN'T BELIEVE HE BEAT US TO THE BODY.

IF THE REALLY SICK ONES WERE STUPID,

THEY'D BE EASIER TO CATCH.

LOOK, I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING,

BUT YOU GOTTA PROMISE TO JUST SHUT UP AND DRIVE.

OKAY.

YOU WERE RIGHT.

SEVEN YEARS AGO, I BURIED PASCAL'S DNA TEST.

I WANTED HIM OFF THE STREET,

BUT EVEN MORE, I WANTED TO WIN.

I HAD TO. WHY?

WHAT HAPPENED TO SHUTTING UP? SORRY.

MY DAD'S A THIRD GENERATION LAWYER.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID TO ME WHEN I GOT INTO LAW SCHOOL?

HE WARNED ME THAT FEMALE LAWYERS WERE UNFEMININE.

HE OBVIOUSLY HASN'T SEEN YOU WITH YOUR HAIR DOWN.

THE POINT IS...

THAT I ALWAYS FELT LIKE I HAD TO PUSH A LITTLE HARDER,

LIKE I HAD SOMETHING TO PROVE.

SOMETIMES IT MAKES YOU BETTER.

NOT THIS TIME.

WELL, AS LONG AS WE'RE COMIN' CLEAN,

IF IT HAD BEEN ANYBODY ELSE'S NAME BUT YOURS ON PASCAL'S FILE,

I MIGHT'VE LOOKED THE OTHER WAY.

MUCH AS I'D LIKE TO THINK YOUR HATE FOR ME IS SPECIAL,

AT THE END OF THE DAY, MACY, YOU ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING.

THAT'S WHO YOU ARE.

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW THAT?

MY OLD MAN WAS THE SAME WAY.

[cell phone rings]

YEAH.

HANG ON.

GOT IT.

SEND A COUPLE OF CARS.

4339 WHITEHALL.

PASCAL HAD TO REGISTER WITH THE SEX CRIMES TASK FORCE

FOR TWO INDECENT EXPOSURE COLLARS IN '93.

LET'S HOPE HE SLEEPS LATE.

[knocking on door]

MY GUYS ARE ON THEIR WAY WITH A WARRANT. WE CAN'T WAIT.

WHO KNOWS WHAT THE HELL PASCAL'S UP TO?

OH, NO, NO. THIS IS WHERE I CAME IN.

THIS TIME WE GO BY THE BOOK. LOSING YOUR NERVE, WALCOTT?

I'M THE D.A., FOR GOD'S SAKE.

I CAN'T GO AROUND BREAKING AND ENTERING.

ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE A STICKLER FOR LEGAL PROTOCOL, EH?

CHEAP SHOTS NOT WITHSTANDING, WITHOUT A WARRANT,

ANYTHING WE FIND IN THERE IS INADMISSIBLE.

WHAT?

(Macy) DRAG MARKS.

FRESH.

JEREMY MORAN.

HE'S NOT HERE.

I'VE GOT CHIEF COSTIGAN PUTTING OUT AN APB.

CHECK THIS OUT.

GOD.

HI THERE.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK TO STRANGERS.

OKAY.

MY NAME'S MICHAEL.

IF YOU TELL ME YOUR NAME, WE WON'T BE STRANGERS ANYMORE.

OKAY.

I'M LORRIE.

COPS ARE MEETING US THERE.

HOW LONG HAS YOUR DOGGIE BEEN MISSING?

JUST A LITTLE WHILE.

GINGER GETS SCARED WHEN SHE'S ALL BY HERSELF.

I'M SORRY SHE'S LOST.

DO YOU THINK, MAYBE, YOU COULD HELP ME FIND HER?

UM...

I'M NOT SURE, I MEAN...

I SHOULD GO ASK MY MOMMY FIRST.

IT'LL BE FINE.

AFTER ALL, IF YOU WERE LOST,

WOULDN'T YOUR MOMMY AND DADDY COME LOOKING FOR YOU?

(Lorrie) GINGER!

C'MON, GINGER.

SEE HER YET?

NOT YET. WE BETTER KEEP LOOKING.

BUT, I--

I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO RIDE IN A CAR WITH ANYONE

UNLESS MY PARENTS SAY IT'S OKAY.

DON'T WORRY, LORRIE.

EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

YOU TWISTED SON OF A BITCH.

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

YOU'RE GOIN' DOWN FOR THE MURDER OF JEREMY MORAN.

THIS TIME, YOU'RE NEVER GETTING OUT.

YOU'RE WORKING HARD.

JUST CATCHING UP ON A FEW THINGS.

YOU DON'T SEEM LIKE THE TYPE WHO GETS BEHIND.

SOMETHIN' ON YOUR MIND, JORDAN?

YEAH, UH, I'VE GOT A QUESTION I WANT TO ASK YOU.

UM, PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY.

SHOOT.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOIN' HERE?

HOW COULD I POSSIBLY TAKE THAT THE WRONG WAY?

ANSWER THE QUESTION.

I'M A MEDICAL EXAMINER.

THIS IS WHERE THE BODIES ARE.

FEELS MORE LIKE YOU'RE INTERESTED

IN WHERE THE BODIES ARE BURIED.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

WELL, FROM THE MOMENT YOU GOT HERE,

YOU TREATED THIS PLACE LIKE A COUNTRY YOU JUST INVADED.

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MAYBE YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE BIT PARANOID?

ACTUALLY, I WONDERED THAT.

BUT, I MEAN, THE SLICK WAY YOU WENT AFTER MACY, WOW.

A GOOD M.E. NEVER LEAVES FINGERPRINTS, RIGHT?

WHERE'S THIS GOING?

YOU CALLED YOUR PALS AT THE D.A.'S OFFICE,

HAD LILY SUBPOENAED.

WHETHER I DID OR I DIDN'T,

THE CASE IS CLOSED,

JUST LIKE YOU WANTED.

AS MUCH AS IT MAY PAIN YOU, JORDAN,

WE'RE NOT THAT DIFFERENT, YOU AND I.

OH, THIS OUGHTTA BE GOOD.

WE BOTH GO AFTER EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT,

AND WE USUALLY GET IT.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS

I DON'T ALWAYS GO CHARGING THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR.

WELL, I PREFER THE DIRECT APPROACH.

ESPECIALLY WITH THE PEOPLE HERE.

I WATCH THEIR BACKS, AND THEY WATCH MINE.

THEY'RE MY FAMILY.

YOU REALLY WANNA BE PART OF THIS PLACE?

TRY COMIN' IN THE FRONT DOOR.

THE MORANS ARE HERE TO SIGN OUT THEIR SON.

WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR FINDING OUR SON, DR. MACY.

I'M SO SORRY IT TURNED OUT THIS WAY.

AT LEAST NOW...

WE KNOW FOR SURE.

MRS. MORAN, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT JEREMY HELPED US

PUT AWAY A VERY DANGEROUS MAN.

SHE HASN'T SAID A WORD SINCE WE GOT THE CALL.

HASN'T CRIED.

I GUESS IT'LL JUST TAKE SOME TIME.

YEAH.

DR. MACY?

MRS. TATE.

THIS IS REALLY AWKWARD.

I CAME TO APOLOGIZE.

THE OTHER DAY, AT THE COURTHOUSE--

NO, NO, IT'S-- IT'S OKAY.

NO, I SHOULD'VE REALIZED YOU WERE ONLY DOING YOUR JOB.

IT WAS JUST THE IDEA OF THAT ANIMAL GOING FREE,

HURTING OTHER KIDS.

THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

THANKS TO YOU.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING I CAN EVER DO FOR YOU, DR. MACY...

MRS. TATE.

(Lily) KNOCK KNOCK.

HEY.

WOW.

WAS THERE SOME KIND OF JAIL BREAK?

I THOUGHT ABOUT IT, BUT...

THEN THE OTHER PRISONERS FOUND OUT

I DIDN'T HAVE MY OWN SHANK, SO...

OH.

YEAH, IT'S TOUGH BEING THE NEW GIRL ON THE CELL BLOCK.

BETH POMERANTZ TURNED HERSELF IN LAST NIGHT.

YOU DON'T SAY?

I WENT TO SEE HER.

SHE SAID YOU TWO

HAD A VERY INTERESTING CONVERSATION IN THE CRYPT.

THE THING IS, LILY, AS A DOCTOR,

ANY CONVERSATION I HAVE WITH A PATIENT

IS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.

I, UM,

I NEVER SHOULD HAVE ACCUSED YOU OF RATTING ME OUT TO THE D.A.

OH, FORGET IT.

NO, AND ALL-- ALL THAT STUFF I SAID

ABOUT YOU SOLVING CASES AT ANY COST.

NO, I KNOW YOU DIDN'T MEAN IT.

NO, I MEANT THAT PART.

OH.

BUT I FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.

WE'RE FRIENDS.

AND I TRUST YOU WITH ALL OF MY HEART.

(Ella Fitzgerald) * I'M FEELING MIGHTY LONESOME... *

(Walcott) CHIEF M.E. DRINKING ON THE JOB?

SUE ME.

ACTUALLY, I COULD.

OR, YOU COULD JOIN ME.

GOT ANY VODKA? SCOTCH.

SINGLE? BLENDED.

WHAT THE HELL.

AFTER A DAY LIKE THIS, I'D DRINK LIGHTER FLUID.

TO ONE LESS BAD GUY.

SO MUCH FOR SAVORING THE BOUQUET.

I'M NOT THE SIPPING TYPE.

IF I LIKE SOMETHING, I TEND TO GULP.

ANYWAY, I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND MY--

FELL BETWEEN THE CUSHIONS OF THE COUCH.

THANK YOU.

WELCOME.

SO, I SHOULD TAKE OFF.

YOU ALWAYS GULP AND RUN?

IT'S SAFER THAT WAY.

I WAS WRONG ABOUT YOU, MACY.

YOU MEAN I'M NOT ARROGANT, STUBBORN, AND SELF-RIGHTEOUS?

ALL THAT AND MORE.

YOU'RE ALSO DAMN GOOD AT YOUR JOB.

THANK YOU.

I OWE YOU ONE.

MAYBE I'LL COLLECT SOMETIME.

* AND MOURNING ALL THE NIGHTS *

* AND IN BETWEEN, IT'S NICOTINE *

* AND NOT MUCH HEART TO FIGHT *
