WOODY...

LISTEN...

I KNOW THIS IS SHORT NOTICE, BUT WHAT ARE YOU DOING LATER?

NOTHING. ORDER IN, WATCH MY BELOVED BADGERS ON SATELLITE TV.

WHY?

WANNA HAVE SOME FUN?

UH, JORDAN, IS THIS GOING WHERE I THINK IT'S GOING,

BECAUSE EVER SINCE OUR KISS BACK IN CALIFORNIA,

YOU'VE SORTA BEEN ON MY MIND, TOO.

IT'S DINNER AT MY DAD'S BAR.

OH.

IT'S KIND OF A ONCE-A-YEAR TRADITION.

WE EAT, WE HAVE A LOT OF FUN. I MEAN, YOU SHOULD COME.

PLEASE DON'T TELL ME IT'S JUST GONNA BE THE THREE OF US.

IT'S NOT JUST GONNA BE THE THREE OF US.

YOU'LL KNOW EVERYBODY THERE. EVERYBODY?

I'M NOT GONNA HAVE TO SING, AM I?

COME ON.

FOR THOSE OF YOU ATTENDING FOR THE FIRST TIME,

JORDAN AND I STARTED THIS DURING AN ICE STORM

A WHILE BACK.

MOSTLY OUT OF BOREDOM,

BUT ONCE WE GOT INTO IT...

TRYING TO SOLVE COLD CASES

BECAME KIND OF A KICK.

YEAH, I DID ENJOY OUR ATTEMPT TO JACK THE RIPPER.

WE DIDN'T REALLY SOLVE THE DAMN THING.

NO, BUT WE HAD FUN TRYING.

AND ALL OF THIS STARTED AS JUST THE TWO OF US.

YOU HOOKED ME IN ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AGO, RIGHT?

THIS IS MY FOURTH.

PUTTING OUR COLLECTIVE MINDS TOGETHER.

ROLE-PLAYING.

ATTEMPTING TO SOLVE THE UNSOLVABLE.

COOL, SO IT'S LIKE CLUE, EXCEPT IT'S FOR REAL.

UH...SO HOW DO YOU PICK A CASE?

WELL, SOME ARE HIGH-PROFILE.

AND OTHERS ARE HOMICIDES THAT KINDA FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS.

BUT THIS YEAR, IT IS DAD'S TURN TO PICK.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, MAX?

40 YEARS AGO, I WAS A ROOKIE DETECTIVE.

COULDN'T SOLVE THIS ONE AT THE TIME,

SO I FIGURE IT MIGHT BE WORTH TAKING ANOTHER LOOK.

SAME RULES AS ALWAYS. HERE ARE THE PROFILES.

COPS, DOCTORS,

A FEW NUT JOBS.

NOW, IN SOME CASES,

WHO YOU PLAY WILL BE BASED ON YOUR PERSONALITY.

STUDY YOUR ROLES. THINK LIKE THEY DO.

JOYCE QUINN. M.E.

FIRST LADY CORONER I EVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH.

I'M PLAYING ROGER VALLONE, JOYCE'S BOSS.

WOW, THERE'S A STRETCH.

WHO'S JIMMY MORAN?

(Max) DETECTIVE I STARTED WITH AT THE 7th.

THE REST OF YOU WILL SEE HOW YOU FIT IN AS WE GO ALONG.

GARRET, HOW ABOUT GETTING US STARTED?

39 YEARS AGO TODAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1964.

THE OLYMPUS DINER.

[Gene Pitney's "Town Without Pity"]

* WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG AND SO IN LOVE *

* AS WE *

* AND BEWILDERED BY THE WORLD WE SEE *

* WHY DO PEOPLE HURT US SO? *

* ONLY THOSE IN LOVE WOULD KNOW *

* WHAT A TOWN WITHOUT PITY CAN DO... *

HI, I'M WITH THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S OFFICE.

* PEOPLE TALK ABOUT HOW BAD WE ARE *

* OURS IS NOT... *

HI, FELLAS.

HI, WHO'S THE DETECTIVE IN CHARGE?

THAT WOULD BE ME.

AT LEAST, FOR THE TIME BEING.

WHO WANTS TO KNOW?

JOYCE QUINN.

I'M THE MEDICAL EXAMINER ASSIGNED TO THE CASE.

MAX CAVANAUGH FROM THE 7th.

HECK OF A BUSINESS FOR A LADY TO GO INTO.

WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT BEING A LADY?

SO... WHAT HAVE WE GOT?

NAME'S RUTH CARTER. LOCAL GIRL.

SINGLE, 24 YEARS OLD.

WORKED HERE AT THE DINER.

FINISHED HER SHIFT AROUND 2:00 AM.

CUSTOMER FOUND HER IN THE CAR ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.

BASED ON RIGOR, I'D PLACE TIME OF DEATH

SOMEWHERE AROUND 3:00.

NO PRINTS, EXCEPT FOR HER OWN.

GOT ONE LONG GRAY HAIR ON HER SWEATER.

SOMEBODY REALLY WIPED THINGS CLEAN.

LICENSE, REGISTRATION IN HER PARENTS' NAME.

WAS SHE RAPED?

LOOKS LIKE IT.

THERE'S ALSO A PRETTY NASTY BUMP ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD.

TEN TO ONE SAYS IT DIDN'T KILL HER.

RECOGNIZE THE WAY SHE WAS STRANGLED?

NYLONS TIED IN A BOW AROUND HER NECK,

SAME AS THE OTHERS.

YOU THINK SHE'S NUMBER 14?

SAY HELLO TO THE LATEST VICTIM OF THE BOSTON STRANGLER.

[suspenseful rock music]

* *

(Jordan) BETWEEN JUNE OF '62

AND JANUARY OF '64,

13 WOMEN WERE MURDERED.

ALL SINGLE, RAPED AND STRANGLED WITH THEIR OWN NYLONS.

THE COPS NEVER FIGURED OUT WHO DID IT.

I THOUGHT SOME GUY NAMED DeSALVO DID IT.

(Max) DeSALVO CONFESSED TO IT,

BUT HE WAS NEVER FORMALLY CHARGED.

COPPING TO IT WAS HIS LAWYER'S PLOY

TO SEND HIM TO A HOSPITAL INSTEAD OF THE ELECTRIC CHAIR.

SO YOU'RE SAYING RUTH CARTER WAS THE STRANGLER'S 14th VICTIM?

WORD OF ANOTHER MURDER SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE.

FIRST, WE HAD TO DEAL WITH THE PRESS.

VALLONE WAS THE CHIEF CORONER AT THE TIME.

THERE WERE QUESTIONS, HE HAD ANSWERS.

GENTLEMEN, PLEASE UNDERSTAND

WE'VE JUST TRANSPORTED THE BODY TO THE MORGUE.

I'LL HAVE A STATEMENT

ONCE WE'VE PROPERLY EXAMINED THE DECEDENT.

SINCE NOBODY ELSE WILL ASK, I'LL ASK THE QUESTION, DOC.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU, DETECTIVE?

IS THIS THE STRANGLER'S 14th VICTIM OR NOT?

THAT'S YET TO BE DETERMINED.

LET'S JUST ALL BE PATIENT. THAT'S IT FOR NOW, FELLAS.

TRYING TO KILL ME BACK THERE OR WHAT?

I JUST LIKE WATCHING YOU SQUIRM.

HOW LONG WE BEEN WORKING THIS CASE, A YEAR AND A HALF?

ANY NERVES I HAD WERE SHOT A LONG TIME AGO.

FEDS ARE ON THEIR WAY.

IF THEY FIND OUT THIS IS NUMBER 14,

THEY'RE GONNA HANDLE IT FROM HERE.

IT'S MY CITY, IT'S MY CASE.

WHEN JOYCE QUINN FINISHES HER AUTOPSY,

THEY'LL HAVE THEIR ANSWERS.

ARTICLE IN THE PAPER SAID THOSE THINGS'LL KILL YOU.

YEAH, I KNOW.

I WROTE IT.

LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING, ROGER.

UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, BIG MEDIA CASE LIKE THIS,

YOU SURE SOMEONE LIKE JOYCE SHOULD BE CALLING THE PLAY?

DROP THE SPORTS ANALOGY, JIMMY. I HATE FOOTBALL.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

QUINN DID HER SCHOOLING AT JOHNS HOPKINS AND B.U.

SHE'S A FINE MEDICAL EXAMINER.

I STAND BY MY DECISION.

I'M JUST POINTING OUT--

WHAT, THAT SHE'S A FEMALE?

WOW.

YOU ARE A DETECTIVE.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

SIGNS OF INTERCOURSE.

THERE'S DRIED SEMEN AROUND THE PELVIC AREA.

HE'S NOT A SECRETOR, SO I CAN'T GET HER BLOOD TYPE.

BETTER GET USED TO IT, DETECTIVE.

I LEAVE MY LACE GLOVES AT HOME.

THERE'S ALSO SPORADIC BRUISING ALONG THE WRISTS AND THE TORSO.

WHAT ABOUT THAT BLOW TO THE HEAD?

SIGNIFICANT SUBDURAL HEMATOMA.

IT'S STILL HARD TO TELL WHAT HIT HER.

TALK TO ME.

BETTER TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. WHO'S HE?

NEW GUY. CAVANAUGH. HOMICIDE.

WATCH AND LEARN, DETECTIVE.

STRANGULATION BRUISES?

THERE'S NO HEMORRHAGING UNDER THE SKIN.

HE STRANGLED HER AFTER SHE WAS ALREADY DEAD.

YOU THINK THIS WAS MADE TO LOOK LIKE THE OTHERS?

WANT TO STEER THE POLICE IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.

WELL, ALL THE OTHER WOMEN WERE KILLED IN THEIR HOMES, RIGHT?

AND NONE OF THEM WERE NUMBERED LIKE THIS.

GLOVE WAS USED TO WRITE ON THE WINDOW,

SO WE COULDN'T LIFT A PRINT.

WHOEVER DID THIS KNEW HOW TO COVER THEIR TRACKS.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, MISS CARTER IS NOT NUMBER 14.

LET'S PUT THE DECEDENT ON THE BACK BURNER.

THE STRANGLER GETS PRIORITY.

BUT SHE WAS MURDERED-- IT'S NOT MY DECISION, JOYCE.

I'M NOT SAYING FORGET ABOUT IT, BUT I'VE GOT THE FBI,

THE BOSTON POLICE, AND ABOUT 20 REPORTERS

WAITING FOR ME TO STOP THE BIGGEST KILLING SPREE

IN THE CITY'S HISTORY. PLEASE.

I COULD USE A LITTLE SUPPORT HERE.

SO THIS WASN'T A STRANGLER CASE?

IT WAS A COPYCAT.

WELL, YOU COULD HAVE TOLD US THAT FROM THE BEGINNING.

NO, IT'S IMPORTANT YOU HEAR THE DETAILS UNFOLD

THE SAME WAY I DID. REMEMBER, GANG, I WAS THERE.

ALL THE RUMORS, WHISPERS. I HEARD THEM ALL.

WELL, START TALKING, MR. GOSSIP.

ALL IN DUE TIME.

YOU KNOW, VALLONE'S DECISION TO FOCUS ON THE BIGGER PICTURE

WAS THE RIGHT CALL. I WOULDA DONE THE SAME THING.

WHAT ABOUT THE GIRL'S FAMILY?

HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THEIR DAUGHTER'S DEATH

WASN'T A PRIORITY?

SOMETIMES WE MAKE DECISIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO.

IT ISN'T ALWAYS RIGHT, BUT IT COMES WITH THE JOB.

I HOPE THAT'S VALLONE TALKING.

NOT NECESSARILY.

SO IF YOU WERE TOLD TO PUT RUTH CARTER ON HOLD,

WHY'D YOU CONTINUE TO WORK THE CASE?

GOOD QUESTION.

TRUTH IS, IT WASN'T MY IDEA.

DETECTIVE, WAIT.

FORGIVE ME.

DIDN'T MEAN TO EAVESDROP BACK THERE.

LOOK, UH, I KNOW YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT THIS AS I DO.

SO, PLEASE, JUST HEAR ME OUT.

RUTH MAY NOT BE A STRANGLER VICTIM,

BUT THERE ARE TWO PEOPLE IN THAT ROOM RIGHT NOW

GRIEVING LOSS FOR A DAUGHTER,

AND I'LL BE DAMNED IF I'M GONNA TELL THEM

THAT SHE DOESN'T MATTER.

YOU HEARD VALLONE. HE SAID HE HAS PRIORITIES.

200 MEN IN BOSTON ALONE WORKING THAT CASE,

NOT TO MENTION THE FEDS.

THINK THEY REALLY CARE WHAT WE DO?

I JUST GOT PROMOTED TO DETECTIVE FIVE MONTHS AGO.

LET ME TALK TO MY LIEUTENANT.

NO, BY THEN THE TRAIL WILL BE COLD.

MAX, 13 WOMEN ARE DEAD BY THE HANDS OF A MADMAN,

AND THE WHOLE CITY'S AFTER HIM.

ONE GIRL'S GONE, AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE.

WHAT MAKES HER LIFE ANY LESS IMPORTANT?

WHERE ARE YOU FROM, PROFESSOR?

SHUT UP.

EXCUSE ME?

I'M TRYING TO WORK.

DR. MOREHOUSE LIVES IN NEW ZEALAND.

HE'S HERE ON A RESEARCH GRANT.

RESEARCHING WHAT, MANNERS?

FORENSIC SCIENCE.

I.E., HOW TO HELP YOU POLICE BUFFOONS

CATCH YOUR BAD GUYS.

THIS GRAY HAIR YOU FOUND ON THE GIRL'S SWEATER?

IT ISN'T GRAY AT ALL. IT'S WHITE.

SEE? HE'S IRRITABLE, BUT HE'S GOOD.

YOU KNOW, TWO YEARS AGO,

SCIENTISTS BEGAN PLAYING WITH A GENETIC TRAIL

OF BREADCRUMBS CALLED DNA.

SOMEDAY WE'LL BE ABLE TO TELL ALL THERE IS TO KNOW

ABOUT A PERSON FROM A HAIR LIKE THIS.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US NOW?

THAT THE KILLER HAS SPLIT ENDS.

CUT HIM SOME SLACK, HE'S NEW.

YEAH, ARE WE, UH, STILL ON FOR COFFEE?

YOU KNOW, GINSBERG HIMSELF IS READING AT THE STUDENT UNION

NEXT TUESDAY.

I GOT A PHONE. YOU REMEMBER THE NUMBER?

HOW COULD I FORGET?

LOOK, ABOUT THE HAIR...

YEAH, DON'T NECESSARILY LOOK FOR AN OLDER ASSAILANT.

BASED ON THE FOLLICLE,

THERE'S A LACK OF INTRINSIC FACTOR PROTEIN PRESENT,

PROBABLY CAUSED BY A SEVERE CASE OF PERNICIOUS ANEMIA

IN CHILDHOOD.

PREMATURE WHITE HAIR AND PALE SKIN

ARE CLASSIC INDICATORS OF THE DISEASE.

THANKS.

NO, DOLL.

THANK YOU.

(Max) MOREHOUSE CLEARLY HAD A WAY WITH THE LADIES.

WELL, MEN OF INTELLIGENCE OFTEN DO.

YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING HE SAID WAS ACCURATE IN '62.

CRICK, WATSON AND WILKINS WERE AWARDED THE NOBEL PRIZE

FOR DISCOVERING MOLECULAR STRANDS.

AND DNA PROFILING WAS DEVELOPED IN NEW ZEALAND

IN THE EIGHTIES,

PROBABLY UNDER THE NORDIC PROFESSORS-- (Nigel) BLOODY RIVETING.

UM, LISTEN, HOW ABOUT SOME FUN FOR YOURS TRULY, EH?

I'M NOT EATING THESE COCKTAIL WIENERS

FOR MY HEALTH, YOU KNOW.

PATIENCE. YOU'RE UP SOON.

YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING TO ME THAT JOYCE WASN'T AFRAID

TO USE HER ASSETS TO GET WHAT SHE WANTED.

SO WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY BARRIERS SHE HAD TO BREAK

JUST TO GET THIS JOB?

NOT TO MENTION EARNING THE RESPECT

OF AN ALL-MALE POLICE FORCE.

I WAS MERELY MAKING AN OBSERVATION.

SO WHAT WAS NEXT? BACK TO THE CRIME SCENE.

YEAH, RUTHIE WAS A GOOD GIRL, BUT SHE WAS A BIG FLIRT.

MEN DON'T TAKE WELL TO THAT, YOU KNOW?

FLIRT HOW, MR. SAVATAS?

AH! SHAKIN' THAT CABOOSE.

WINKIN' AND SMILING ALL THE TIME.

SHE KNEW WHERE HER BREAD WAS BUTTERED.

IT SHOWED IN THE TIPS SHE GOT.

DID IT EVER GO FURTHER?

DID SHE EVER HAVE SEX WITH THEM?

NAH, NO WAY. SHE WASN'T LIKE THAT.

SHE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH ONE OF MY DISHWASHERS, THOUGH.

THIS WEIRD KID I HIRED ABOUT TEN MONTHS AGO.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

SIMON.

HE'S HERE TODAY IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO HIM.

HEY, SIMON, SOME PEOPLE WANT TO SEE YOU.

HEY! HEY!

DAMN IT!

(The Zombies) * WELL, LET ME TELL YA *

* 'BOUT THE WAY SHE LOOKED, THE WAY SHE ACTED *

* AND THE COLOR OF HER HAIR... *

WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

LOOK WHO WE GOT HERE.

* BUT SHE'S NOT THERE * *

FORGET IT!

EVERY YEAR IT'S THE SAME. I'VE HAD ENOUGH!

OH, COME ON, NIGEL. WAIT, WAIT.

(Bug) STOP COMPLAININ'. IT'S JUST A GAME.

PERHAPS, BUT I'M TIRED OF ALWAYS BEING THE KILLER PERVERT.

IS IT TRUE?

LAST YEAR HE WAS THE MILWAUKEE BONDAGE KILLER.

(Garret) THE YEAR BEFORE THAT, THE ICE CREAM RAPIST OF '77.

KILLER PERV. KILLER PERV.

FOR ONCE, WHY CAN'T I BE, LIKE, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY?

OR A GUN-TOTING COP?

WHEN HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A COP WHO WEARS LEATHER PANTS

AND SNAKESKIN BOOTS?

THE VILLAGE PEOPLE.

DON'T BE SO QUICK TO CRITICIZE, MISTER.

YOU'RE A FAR CRY FROM THAT COLLEGE CASANOVA

YOU JUST "PORTRAYED."

I WISH I COULD SAY THE SAME FOR YOU,

BECAUSE, WHITE HAIR ASIDE, YOU'RE EQUALLY DISTURBED.

I DON'T THINK THEY'RE ROLE-PLAYING ANYMORE.

CAN WE GET BACK TO THE CASE, PLEASE?

YOU HEARD THE MAN.

WHERE WERE WE?

UH, THE KILLER PERV WAS ABOUT TO JUMP SHIP.

I'LL STAY, AND I'LL PARTICIPATE.

UNDER ONE CONDITION.

NO, THIS ISN'T NEGOTIABLE.

YOU'RE THE PERVERT, DEAL WITH IT.

NIGEL, SINCE I KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING,

I CAN BEND THE RULES A LITTLE.

NIGEL, YOU MIGHT WANT TO STICK AROUND.

HMM?

OH, WELL, IF YOU'RE SUGGESTING

THAT THINGS ARE MORE COMPLICATED THAN THEY APPEAR...

[muttering quietly] Pervert...

I WOULDN'T MISS IT FOR THE WORLD.

[instrumental R & B]

RUTH AND I WERE JUST FRIENDS.

SHE USED TO TAKE ME TO WORK.

I DON'T DRIVE.

(Joyce) THAT PLACES HIM IN THE CAR.

NO LICENSE, NO SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER.

I'M GUESSIN' NO GREEN CARD, EITHER.

PLEASE DON'T SEND ME BACK.

I'M TRYING TO MAKE A LIFE FOR MYSELF HERE.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAD AN INTERESTING ONE IN ENGLAND.

SCOTLAND YARD CALLED.

SAID YOU HAD A RECORD OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.

THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.

I SWEAR TO YOU... THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW.

DIFFERENT IN WHAT WAY?

NO, I-I COULDN'T HURT RUTHIE.

I COULDN'T HURT ANYBODY.

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT SAVATAS, THE BLOKE WHO OWNS THE DINER,

WAS OBSESSED WITH HER?

GOT ANY PROOF?

LADIES ROOM STALL...

SHARES A WALL WITH HIS OFFICE.

THERE'S A CONVENIENT LITTLE, UM...

HOLE...RIGHT BEHIND A PAINTING.

RUTH USED TO...

CHANGE INTO HER UNIFORM THERE.

DO YOU LIKE LOOKIN' AT GIRLS, GEORGE?

WHAT ELSE DO YOU LIKE TO DO?

YOU'RE HURTING ME!

WHAT ABOUT RUTH CARTER?

ALL THAT WINKIN' AND SMILING YOU TOLD US ABOUT?

YOU WANTED SOME OF THAT, DIDN'T YOU?

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

YOU USED TO LOOK AT HER IN THE BATHROOM.

YOU WATCHED HER GET DRESSED.

SHE WAS A DAMN TEASE!

SHE KNEW I WAS BACK THERE! SHE PROBABLY LIKED IT!

DID RUTH TELL YOU THAT?

SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO!

SO LAST NIGHT YOU THOUGHT SHE WANTED MORE.

YOU RAPED HER AND KILLED HER.

I DIDN'T KILL NOBODY!

YOU READ ABOUT THE STRANGLER IN THE PAPER, ABOUT THE NYLONS.

YOU MADE IT LOOK LIKE HE DID IT.

YOU STUPID ASSES.

LOOK AT ME.

I AIN'T MARRIED. I DON'T EVEN HAVE A GIRL.

I'M A LOUSY PEEPING TOM!

I COULDN'T HAVE RAPED HER, EVEN IF I'D WANTED.

PUT IT TOGETHER.

PUT WHAT TOGETHER?

HE'S IMPOTENT.

clack!

SO THE GREAT GREEK WASN'T SO GREAT AFTER ALL.

RECORDS SHOW THEY TESTED HIM, AND JOYCE WAS RIGHT.

I'M NOT RULING OUT THE DISHWASHER YET.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, WOODY?

I THINK THIS MORAN WAS ONE BAD-ASS DUDE.

YEAH? HOW SO?

HE MADE LIEUTENANT BEFORE HE WAS 35 YEARS OLD.

WOUNDED ON THE JOB THREE TIMES, HAD OVER 400 CAREER BUSTS,

AND RETIRED 17 YEARS AGO DIVISION CHIEF.

DOES IT SAY ANYTHING IN THERE ABOUT BROWBEATING HIS COWORKERS?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

BEFORE YOU PUT MORAN ON A PEDESTAL,

YOU MIGHT WANT TO GLANCE AT ROGER VALLONE'S FILE AS WELL.

MORAN WAS INSTRUMENTAL

IN GETTING HIM FIRED AS CHIEF CORONER.

[shoots, sinks ball in pocket]

[crowd cheering]

(announcer) BUT NOW THE RAMBLERS COME TO LIFE.

ALL-AMERICAN JERRY HARKNESS SCORES,

AND THE GAP BEGINS TO NARROW.

TRYING TO RELAX, CHIEF?

THE SCORE IS 50 TO 48...

EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

MAN'S GOTTA FIND TIME FOR HIMSELF.

OTHERWISE, HE LOSES PERSPECTIVE.

DID YOU COME ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE TO CHAT, MORAN?

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YA?

WORD AROUND THE PRECINCT

IS THAT THE RUTH CARTER CASE IS STILL ACTIVE.

THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PUT ON THE BACK BURNER.

YOU HEARD ME TALK TO JOYCE.

I'LL HANDLE IT FIRST THING TOMORROW.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED TODAY.

FOR A BACK-BURNER CASE, YOU SEEM AWFULLY CONCERNED.

JUST LOOKIN' OUT FOR THE CITY'S BEST INTERESTS.

FOR THE LAST 15 MONTHS, I'VE DONE NOTHING

BUT EAT, SLEEP, AND BREATHE THE STRANGLER.

YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT?

THEN WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING?

WHAT IF THE MAYOR GOT WIND

THAT YOU WEREN'T FOCUSED ON THE BIGGEST MANHUNT

THIS TOWN HAS EVER SEEN?

THAT'S A LIE.

PEOPLE TALK.

WHO, EXACTLY?

WHEN YOU WORK AROUND THE DEAD TOO LONG,

YOU START TO THINK PEOPLE AREN'T PAYING ATTENTION.

THERE ARE STILL A FEW EYES OPEN AROUND HERE.

WATCH YOURSELF, CHIEF.

[rustling]

WHO'S THERE?

BOO.

JIMMY!

YOU KNOW, JOYCE...

YOU REALLY NEED TO KEEP YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU.

IT'S 2:00 IN THE MORNING.

A GIRL CAN'T BE CAREFUL ENOUGH THESE DAYS.

OF COURSE, I HAPPEN TO HAVE A SPARE KEY.

BUT YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYBODY.

YOU REALLY...

NEED TO KNOW WHO YOU'RE SPENDING TIME WITH.

OH, I KNOW EXACTLY WHO I'M SPENDING TIME WITH.

AN IRISH, EGOTISTICAL, HORSE'S ASS.

[Terry Stafford's "Suspicion" plays]

* DO YOU SAY THE SAME WORDS TO SOMEONE ELSE *

* WHEN I'M NOT THERE? *

* SUSPICION *

* TORMENTS MY HEART... **

SO HOW ABOUT THAT?

HOW ABOUT WHAT?

ACCORDING TO MAX,

MORAN AND JOYCE HAD A THING GOING ON.

TOO BAD SHE HAD SUCH LOUSY TASTE IN MEN.

MORAN WAS MARRIED.

MAYBE THEIR MARRIAGE SUCKED.

NOW YOU'RE DEFENDING HIM?

HEY, I'M JUST PLAYING DEVIL'S ADVOCATE.

YOU GOTTA ADMIT, THOUGH,

ALL THESE PEOPLE SPENDING TIME TOGETHER,

IT'S, UH, ENTERTAINING.

SORRY YOU INVITED ME?

GUYS--

UH, WE NEED TO GET BACK TO THE TABLE.

WHY? WHAT'S UP?

UM, MAX WANTS TO OPEN ANOTHER CASE FILE.

I THOUGHT WE WERE ONLY DOIN' ONE MURDER TONIGHT.

SO DID I.

[ringing]

QUINN.

MAX.

WAIT, SLOW DOWN.

WHERE?

ALL RIGHT, I'LL BE RIGHT OVER.

WHAT'S GOIN' ON?

ANOTHER MURDER.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE STRANGLER.

WHERE?

AN APARTMENT NEAR PERSHING SQUARE.

1420 KELLER.

THAT'S MY BUILDING.

[flashbulb crackles]

MAX?

(Max) IT'S MORAN'S WIFE.

JIMMY DROVE ME.

WHERE IS HE?

(Moran) GET OFF ME! LET ME THROUGH!

LET ME SEE HER!

LET ME SEE HER!

OH, PEG.

OH, PEG.

[flashbulb crackles]

I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S DEAD.

MORAN MUST'VE BEEN DEVASTATED.

GUY SPENDS A YEAR AND A HALF CHASING A KILLER,

AND HIS WIFE BECOMES THE NEXT VICTIM.

DON'T BE SO SURE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

HISTORICALLY, THAT WOULD HAVE MADE PEGGY MORAN

THE STRANGLER'S 14th MURDER.

YEAH, BUT WE KNOW THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

ANOTHER COPYCAT?

AND IF SO, HOW DID THEY FIGURE IT OUT?

(Jordan) SAME WAY WE WOULD TODAY.

PEGGY WAS DEAD, BUT SHE STILL HAD ALL THE ANSWERS.

WHERE'S THE PEGGY MORAN AUTOPSY FILE?

(Joyce) SWAB THE SCRATCHES ON HER ARM

AND CHECK FOR ANY OUT-OF-PLACE HAIR AND FLUIDS.

WOULD YOU GIVE US A MINUTE?

RUN WHATEVER YOU GET THROUGH THE COMPUTER PUNCH CARDS.

IF ANYTHING MATCHES THE OTHER STRANGLER CASES,

YOU SHOULD GET AN ANSWER IN ABOUT 18 HOURS.

SURE LOOKS LIKE A STRANGLER CASE.

LET'S HOPE NOT.

WIFE OF A COP GETS KILLED,

THE TENSION LEVEL IN THIS CITY GOES FROM BAD TO WORSE.

THOSE PRAYERS OF YOURS MIGHT BE ANSWERED, ROGER.

SHE WASN'T RAPED.

PROVE IT.

THERE'S NO VAGINAL TEARING

CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER STRANGLER VICTIMS.

YET THE REST OF THE MURDER MATCHES.

NO FORCED ENTRY IN THE APARTMENT.

OBVIOUS SIGNS OF STRUGGLE.

HE CRUSHED HER WINDPIPE WITH HER OWN NYLONS.

OR MAYBE NOT.

FELLAS, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT LADIES STOCKINGS?

THAT'S WHAT I FIGURED.

YES, PEGGY WAS STRANGLED WITH A PAIR OF NYLONS,

BUT THESE WERE NEVER WORN BEFORE, THEY'RE BRAND-NEW.

HOW CAN YOU TELL?

YOU CAN STILL SEE THE PACKING CREASE ON THE HEEL.

(Max) JOYCE'S HUNCH WAS RIGHT.

GOOD AT HER JOB.

(Jordan) BETTER THAN GOOD.

WE'D KNOW IN A MOMENT TODAY

WHETHER THOSE PANTYHOSE WERE NEW OR NOT.

WE COULD DO SKIN AND SECRETION SAMPLES ON THE FABRIC.

INSTEAD, THEY HAD NOTHING TO GO ON.

AND HOW ABOUT THAT COMPUTER? 18 HOURS.

MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN THE STONE AGE.

(Jordan) SO IF PEGGY MORAN WASN'T NUMBER 14,

SHE WAS KILLED BY A COPYCAT.

THE QUESTION IS--

WAS SHE MURDERED BY THE SAME GUY WHO KILLED RUTH CARTER?

[crowd murmuring]

[crowd falls silent]

UNTIL LAST NIGHT, WE WERE LOOKING FOR THE STRANGLER

BECAUSE HE WAS KILLING INNOCENT WOMEN.

BUT NOW HE'S BROUGHT IT HOME.

THE CORONER'S TELLING ME IT WASN'T HIM,

BUT I'M NOT BUYING THAT.

IS THE DEVIL THAT CLEVER?

THIS GUY READS THE PAPERS.

HE KNOWS OUR NAMES. HE KNOWS WHERE WE LIVE.

HE WANTED TO GET ONE OF US.

AND HE GOT HER.

[choked up] HE GOT MY PEG.

YOU FIND HIM, YOU CATCH HIM.

AND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IT FOR ME,

THEN YOU DO IT FOR HER.

SORRY, DID I PICK A BAD TIME?

THERE HASN'T BEEN A GOOD TIME IN WEEKS.

WHAT'S UP?

PHOTOS OF THE KNOTS USED ON ALL 13 STRANGLER VICTIMS.

I COMPARED THEM WITH RUTH CARTER AND PEGGY MORAN.

THERE'S AN INCONSISTENCY.

MEANING?

SEE FOR YOURSELF.

THE KNOTS USED ON RUTH AND PEGGY ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT.

THE STRANGLER FINISHES WITH A SQUARE KNOT

AFTER THEY'RE DEAD.

SO OUR COPYCAT FINALLY MESSED UP.

THE TWO WOMEN ARE LINKED.

NOW WHAT?

WE STILL DON'T HAVE ANY HARD EVIDENCE TO WORK WITH.

AT THIS POINT I'LL TAKE ANY HELP I CAN GET.

WHAT?

WE SAID RELAX AND HAVE A DRINK, LOVE.

NOT TEN.

OW. WHAT TIME IS IT?

TIME TO PLAY.

EVER HEAR OF A WOMAN NAMED ANNABEL COSTA?

COSTA WORKED AT A DRYCLEANER IN NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND.

THE FEDS USED HER IN THE STRANGLER CASE.

USED HER HOW?

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU, IN 11 YEARS,

COSTA FOUND FIVE KIDNAPPED CHILDREN, SOLVED THREE MURDERS,

AND HELPED APPREHEND SEVEN CRIMINALS?

I'D SAY THAT SHE WAS WASTING HER TIME STARCHING COLLARS.

SHE WAS A PSYCHIC.

CUTE, BUT A LITTLE ECCENTRIC.

SO YOU'RE PERFECT.

tsk.

MISS COSTA?

WE'VE BROUGHT YOU HERE BECAUSE WE HIT A BRICK WALL.

DO YOU HAVE ANY JUJUBES?

I REALLY LIKE JUJUBES.

TWO WOMEN ARE DEAD.

WE THINK THEY SHARE THE SAME KILLER,

BUT WE CAN'T PRODUCE ENOUGH HARD EVIDENCE TO TRACK HIM DOWN.

I ALSO LIKE LICORICE, BUT ONLY IF IT'S A ROPE

AND ONLY IF IT'S RED.

IS SHE ALWAYS LIKE THIS?

ACCORDING TO THIS, YOU PREVENTED A TRAIN ACCIDENT

FROM HAPPENING IN '61.

YOU'VE CLAIMED TO HAVE THE GIFT SINCE YOU WERE 12 YEARS OLD.

AND FOR THE PAST NINE MONTHS,

YOU'VE BEEN A CONSULTANT FOR BOTH THE FBI AND THE CIA.

YOUR SKIRT'S TOO LONG.

EXCUSE ME?

YOUR SKIRT'S TOO LONG. I WORK IN A DRY CLEANER.

THE NEW LENGTH IS ABOUT AN INCH HIGHER.

YOU HAVE NICE LEGS, THOUGH.

FOR A CORONER, I MEAN.

DO YOU LIKE JUJUBES?

[nervous laugh]

ARE YOU SURE WE SHOULDN'T CALL SOMEBODY?

CALL WHO? SHE'S THE BEST.

WHAT WAS THE GIRL'S NAME?

RUTH CARTER.

I'VE GOT HER IN A CAR WITH A MAN.

SHE'S IN LOVE WITH HIM.

THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE THERE TOO.

THERE'S AN ARGUMENT.

OH, NO, IT'S GETTING PHYSICAL.

[gasps]

WAIT, WE'RE IN AN ALLEY.

THIS BETTER BE GOOD.

COULD YOU BE QUIET, PLEASE.

RUTH WAS KILLED IN A DINER PARKING LOT,

NOT AN ALLEYWAY.

NO DISRESPECT TO MISS JUJUBE, BUT WHAT CAN WE FIND HERE?

MAYBE SOMETHING THE KILLER WAS TRYING TO HIDE.

OVER THERE.

(Max) WHAT IS IT?

15 1/2, BOXED AND LAUNDERED.

THERE'S SOME, UH... BLOOD ON THE SLEEVE.

LIPSTICK ON THE COLLAR.

IS IT RUTH'S?

LIPSTICK MATCHED WHAT RUTH CARRIED IN HER PURSE.

BUT THE BLOOD WASN'T HERS.

OKAY, LOOK, THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE

THE SHIRT BELONGED TO THE KILLER.

THE TAILOR WAS LOCAL, SO MAYBE WE CAN TRACE WHO BOUGHT IT.

WE KNOW IT WASN'T THE DINER OWNER.

ACCORDING TO MEDICAL RECORDS, THE BLOOD ON THE SHIRT

DOESN'T MATCH THE DISHWASHER'S BLOOD.

YES, VIRGINIA, THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS!

THESE DAYS YOU CAN PULL DNA FROM SWEAT AROUND THE ARMPITS,

RUN IT THROUGH THE CODIS DATABASE AND HOPE FOR A MATCH.

TODAY DOESN'T MATTER.

WE'RE TALKING PREHISTORIC DETECTIVE WORK.

IT WAS PROBABLY ALL CONTAMINATED ANYWAY.

I RESENT THE PREHISTORIC COMMENT.

MEDIEVAL MAYBE.

BACK THEN, YOU COULD HAVE DNA SAMPLES

IN EVERY WAY, SHAPE, AND FORM, AND IT WOULDN'T MEAN BUPKES.

I KNOW I'M NEW AT THIS,

BUT IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE SORT OF BACK TO SQUARE ONE.

["Devil or Angel" by Bobby Vee playing]

* DEVIL OR ANGEL PLEASE SAY YOU'LL BE MINE *

* LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME *

* I'LL GO OUT OF MY MIND *

* DEVIL OR ANGEL DEAR, WHICHEVER YOU ARE *

* I NEED YOU, I NEED YOU, I NEED YOU *

* YOU LOOK LIKE AN ANGEL... *

HEY.

YOU SCARED ME.

SORRY. I NEEDED A HUG.

LISTEN, I-- I LEFT SOMETHING AT WORK.

WHY DON'T YOU REST,

AND I'LL BRING US BOTH BACK SOMETHING FOR DINNER.

YOU SURE?

IT'S LATE.

IT'S OKAY, REALLY.

I'M SO LUCKY TO HAVE YOU.

YOU KNOW THAT?

OKAY, COME ON, PROVE ME WRONG.

MAX, IT'S ME.

YOU BETTER SEE THIS.

NO, NO WAY. NO, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

THOSE SHIRTS MATCH UP.

CIRCUMSTANTIAL NONSENSE.

AREN'T YOU TAKING THIS A LITTLE PERSONALLY, WOODY?

SOMEBODY'S GOT TO. HE WAS A BIG-TIME DECORATED COP.

SYMBOL OF THE FORCE, RIGHT, WOODROW?

EXACTLY.

GUY'S WIFE DIES AND SUDDENLY HE'S A COPYCAT KILLER?

THE TRUTH IS THERE COULD HAVE BEEN

HUNDREDS OF SHIRTS OUT THERE MADE BY THE SAME TAILOR.

WITH TINY DIFFERENCES, BUT DIFFERENCES NONETHELESS.

IF THE SHIRT DON'T FIT, YOU MUST ACQUIT.

TASTELESS, BUT APPROPRIATE.

WHAT THEY NEEDED WAS A BLOOD SAMPLE FROM MORAN,

RUN IT AGAINST THE STAIN ON THE SHIRT.

THAT PUTS HIM AT THE SCENE. DAD, DID YOU GET A SAMPLE?

I COULD TRY TO PULL HIS MEDICAL FILE FROM PERSONNEL.

OF COURSE, IF ANY OF THE BRASS GETS WIND I'M SNOOPING AROUND...

NO, I THINK WE SHOULD JUST BE STRAIGHT WITH HIM.

ASK FOR A SAMPLE, GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.

IF ALL THIS IS CIRCUMSTANTIAL,

HE'LL APPRECIATE THAT YOU CAME TO HIM.

YEAH, AND IT'S ME, RIGHT?

I MEAN, OF ALL PEOPLE.

SORRY, I SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

YOU DON'T OWE ME AN EXPLANATION.

I KNOW HE'S MARRIED.

I TRIED TO BREAK IT OFF, BUT THE FACT IS,

IT'S NOT ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP.

IT'S JUST...

CONVENIENT?

I GET IT. WE ALL MAKE DECISIONS.

MY WIFE AND I,

WE'RE HAVING A TOUGH TIME RIGHT NOW.

I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO NEED SOMEONE

WHO UNDERSTANDS.

JUST PROMISE ME SOMETHING, OKAY?

WHAT?

BE CAREFUL.

DETECTIVE CAVANAUGH,

TELL ME YOU AREN'T HERE TO DISCUSS THE RUTH CARTER CASE.

I'M HAVING A BAD ENOUGH DAY AS IT IS.

NO, SIR. I WAS JUST ON MY WAY OUT.

THANK YOU, MR. HARRIS.

WE'LL JUST STICK WITH ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS WE DISCUSSED.

AND YOU'LL CALL THE CEMETERY FOR ME?

THANK YOU AGAIN, MR. HARRIS.

[sighs] I'M SORRY.

THAT WAS, UH-- I HEARD.

LISTEN, I WAS IN THE BUILDING.

DO YOU HAVE A MINUTE?

SURE.

SOMETHING WRONG?

I NEED YOU TO TELL ME SOMETHING.

I NEED TO KNOW IF YOU WERE SLEEPING WITH RUTH CARTER.

SHE'S THE GIRL THAT WAS FOUND--

I KNOW WHO SHE WAS.

JOYCE, I--

MY WIFE JUST DIED, AND YOU'RE ACCUSING ME?

WE FOUND A SHIRT, JIMMY.

THE EXACT KIND THAT YOU WEAR,

SAME TAILOR, SAME SIZE.

RUTH'S LIPSTICK WAS ON THE COLLAR,

AND THERE WAS BLOOD ON THE SLEEVE.

WE NEED--

I NEED TO KNOW IF IT'S YOURS.

I JUST WANT A BLOOD SAMPLE SO WE CAN BE SURE.

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

PLEASE, JIMMY, IF YOU DON'T GIVE IT TO ME--

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, CALL THE POLICE?

YOU WANNA KNOW, JOYCE?

YOU WANT THE TRUTH?

YEAH.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT.

[sighs]

I SPENT TIME WITH HER.

[sighs] SHE WAS A GOOD KID.

SWEET.

GOD KNOWS I'M A SUCKER FOR A GORGEOUS SMILE.

BUT IT WAS ONE NIGHT. IT WAS NOTHING.

IT MEANT NOTHING.

WE HAD SEX, AND I LEFT.

I DIDN'T KILL HER.

I DIDN'T KILL ANYONE.

YOU STILL WANT MY BLOOD?

[whispers] Yeah.

ALL RIGHT. TAKE IT.

BUT, JOYCE, DO ME A FAVOR.

WHAT'S THAT?

GO TO HELL.

THE BLOOD ON THE SHIRT WASN'T DETECTIVE MORAN'S.

NOW YOU KNOW WHY I'VE BEEN BANGING MY HEAD

AGAINST THE WALL ON THIS FOR SO MANY YEARS.

(Woody) CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE POINTED TO MORAN,

BUT YOU ALWAYS NEED A SOLID PIECE OF FORENSIC PROOF.

WHO KILLED BOTH WOMEN?

AND DID AN ALMOST PERFECT JOB

OF MIMICKING ONE OF THE GREATEST UNSOLVED CASES

OF THE 20th CENTURY.

WE CAN TRY TO DO THIS.

BUT IT WOULD BE A FIRST.

TRY WHAT?

ANOTHER PATENTED CAVANAUGH REENACTMENT.

YOU BETTER HAVE ANOTHER DRINK.

OKAY, WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT RUTH CARTER?

SHE WAS A FLIRT. SHE LIKED MEN.

WHO WAS SHE WITH THAT NIGHT?

WAS IT THE DISHWASHER?

* *

* SHOO-BOP SHOO-BOP, MY BABY *

SIMON WAS A TROUBLED KID,

BUT HE DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY.

HIS ALIBI LINED UP.

THE BLOOD WASN'T A MATCH. WHAT ABOUT THE DINER OWNER?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

THE REPORTS SHOWED SEMEN ON RUTH'S BODY,

AND SAVATAS COULDN'T PRODUCE.

MOUNT OLYMPUS WAS ANYTHING BUT.

SO WHAT IF IT WAS MORAN?

WORD AROUND THE OFFICE WAS JIMMY HAD WOMEN

ALL OVER TOWN.

THE DINER WAS A FREQUENT STOP

FOR ON-DUTY COPS, SO IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME

HE HIT ON THE COUNTER GIRL.

BUT WHY KILL HER?

SOMETHIN' MUST HAVE HAPPENED.

SOMEONE CAUGHT HIM.

THE PSYCHIC SAID SHE SAW ANOTHER PERSON THERE.

WHAT IF PEGGY KNEW THAT HE WAS CHEATING?

(Jordan) WHEN SHE SAW JIMMY WITH ANOTHER WOMAN,

HER EMOTIONS TOOK OVER.

(Peggy) OH, MY GOD! LOOK AT YOU!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? WHAT AM I DOING?

(Garret) MORAN AND RUTH PROBABLY TRIED TO REASON WITH HER,

AND THINGS GOT HEATED.

IF PEGGY LUNGED FOR HER...

[struggling]

smack!

WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?

YOU DIRTY LITTLE SLUT!

[screaming]

(Jordan) RUTH COULD HAVE SLIPPED

AND HIT HER HEAD HER HEAD ON THE CONCRETE.

SINCE THERE WAS NO SIGN OF A WEAPON,

THAT EXPLAINS THE BRUISE. IT REALLY WAS AN ACCIDENT.

IF WORD GOT OUT THAT MORAN WAS INVOLVED, HE WAS RUINED.

HE HAD TO DO SOMETHIN'.

LET'S GET HER IN THE CAR.

COME ON, GRAB HER LEGS.

GRAB HER LEGS. COME ON.

THAT NIGHT JIMMY MORAN LEARNED MORE ABOUT THE STRANGLER

THAN HE EVER WANTED.

WOW. BUT HOW DOES THE WIFE'S DEATH CONNECT?

(Lily) WHAT IF PEGGY DIDN'T LOVE HIM ANYMORE?

I MEAN, HE WAS STILL SLEEPING WITH JOYCE.

HOW MANY OTHER WOMEN WERE THERE?

MORAN MADE HER AN ACCESSORY TO A COVER-UP.

SHE COULDN'T HANDLE THE GUILT.

(Max) MORAN KNEW IF PEGGY WENT

TO THE POLICE, HIS CAREER WAS OVER.

HOW IMPORTANT WAS IT TO HIM?

IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO KILL.

(TV announcer) ...TAKES THE BALL

AND STREAKS DOWN THE COURT

IN A DESPERATE EFFORT FOR PRECIOUS POINTS.

THE EFFORT PAYS OFF.

[crowd cheers]

BUT NOW THE RAMBLERS COME TO LIFE.

ALL-AMERICAN JERRY HARKNESS...

(Jordan) JIMMY MORAN STRANGLED HER BEFORE HE WENT

OVER TO JOYCE'S THAT NIGHT.

EXPLAINS WHY PEGGY WASN'T RAPED.

COULDN'T DO IT.

(Garret) MORAN USED THE BRAND-NEW NYLONS.

(Nigel) AND THEN DRESSED THE APARTMENT

LIKE EVERY STRANGLER CRIME SCENE HE'D EVER SEEN.

ALL WELL AND GOOD, BUT I STILL NEED HARD EVIDENCE.

THIS IS HEARSAY.

COME ON, CONNECT THE TWO CRIMES FOR ME.

PUT PEGGY MORAN AT THE DINER THAT NIGHT.

THE BLOOD ON THE SHIRT.

YOU ARE A LITTLE SLUT. LOWER YOUR VOICE.

smack! GET OUT OF MY FACE, OKAY?

(Jordan) WHEN RUTH HIT PEGGY, PEGGY'S LIP STARTED TO BLEED.

MAYBE THE BLOOD WAS PEGGY'S.

MAX, IS THE CASE EVIDENCE STILL IN THE WAREHOUSE DOWNTOWN?

PROBABLY.

THEY GOT BOXES DOWN THERE FROM THE 1800s.

CAN YOU GET IN?

(Bug) BY REHYDRATING THE BLOOD ON THE SHIRT,

WE CAN GET A BETTER SAMPLE FOR DNA ANALYSIS.

YOU GUYS FIND THAT TISSUE SAMPLE FROM PEGGY'S AUTOPSY?

FOUND IT IN THE BASEMENT, JUST LIKE HE SAID.

THERE ARE HUNDREDS

OF SAMPLES IN THERE.

(Garret) UNSOLVED CASES ARE STORED INDEFINITELY.

IT'S STATE POLICY.

ALL RIGHT, PEGGY'S DNA IS IN THE REACTION CHAMBER.

READY WHEN YOU ARE FOR THE MYSTERY BLOOD.

REINTRODUCING MOISTURE TO THE STAIN.

HERE IT COMES.

OKAY, GIVE IT A SHOT, NIGE.

MRS. MORAN WAS TYPE O. BLOOD TYPE MATCHES THE SHIRT.

WHAT ABOUT DNA?

CASE CLOSED.

(Bug) AND WITH RUTH CARTER'S LIPSTICK ON HER COLLAR,

THAT PUTS PEGGY AT THE CRIME SCENE ALSO.

THAT MEANS MORAN DITCHED THE SHIRT THAT NIGHT,

AND HE'S BEEN HIDING THE TRUTH EVER SINCE.

OH, HOW DOES HE LIVE WITH HIMSELF?

I'LL BRING HIM IN FOR QUESTIONING TOMORROW.

DON'T BOTHER, KID.

JIMMY MORAN PASSED AWAY ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO.

(Nigel) ANYONE UP FOR SOME BREAKFAST?

I KNOW A GREAT LITTLE GREEK DINER AROUND THE CORNER.

THAT'S SO NOT FUNNY. HE HE.

BUT I AM IN THE MOOD FOR SOME WAFFLES.

(Garret) GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY.

GOOD NIGHT. 'NIGHT.

GET SOME REST.

YOU HEADIN' HOME, GARRET?

WELL, I'VE KINDA GOT A SECOND WIND.

I FIGURED I'D HEAD OVER TO THE PARK

AND WATCH THE SUN COME UP ON THE NEW SNOW.

GREAT. YOU WANT SOME COMPANY?

COME ON.

THANK YOU, SWEETHEART.

ANOTHER FUN NIGHT FOR THE RECORD BOOKS.

YEAH, NO PROBLEM.

UM, DAD, I THINK I'LL CLOSE UP, IF THAT'S OKAY.

BE CAREFUL GOING HOME.

YOU TOO, HOYT.

YES, SIR.

SO, UH, I GUESS WE SHOULD JUST CALL IT A NIGHT, HUH?

I GUESS SO.

LOOK, WOODY, ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED, I-- LISTEN, JORDAN, I--

HA. I'LL GO FIRST.

FORGET IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT? JUST WAIT.

WOODY. JORDAN...

DON'T SAY ANYTHING.

[drops coin in jukebox]
