00:00:03,036 --> 00:00:04,104
- [applause]
- [Frost] And now it is
my pleasure and privilege

2
00:00:04,104 --> 00:00:08,108
to present the Medical Examiner
of the Year Award.

3
00:00:08,108 --> 00:00:10,744
From the National Association
of Medical Examiners,

4
00:00:10,744 --> 00:00:14,781
in recognition of
her contributions to the field
of forensic pathology,

5
00:00:14,781 --> 00:00:18,718
this year's winner is
the Chief Medical Examiner
for the State of Maryland,

6
00:00:18,718 --> 00:00:20,520
Dr. Julianna Cox.

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,256
[applause]

8
00:00:29,462 --> 00:00:33,600
Thank you very much, Dr. Frost,
and all my colleagues in NAME.

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,303
Um, this is great. I've never
actually won anything before.

10
00:00:37,303 --> 00:00:39,305
Um, the convention's
been terrific,

11
00:00:39,305 --> 00:00:42,809
and, uh, this is quite an honor,
and I thank you very much.

12
00:00:42,809 --> 00:00:45,578
- [applause]
- Congratulations.

13
00:00:47,447 --> 00:00:50,717
[ME 1] Insect activity in the
corpse marks the time of death

14
00:00:50,717 --> 00:00:55,321
as approximately 72 hours
before discovery of the body,

15
00:00:55,321 --> 00:00:58,491
but we don't know
where the crime occurred

16
00:00:58,491 --> 00:01:02,362
until we call in
our forensic entomologist.

17
00:01:02,362 --> 00:01:05,598
Forensic entomologist?

18
00:01:05,598 --> 00:01:09,602
My, my, my!
Talk about your specialists.
I'm a little jealous.

19
00:01:09,602 --> 00:01:11,504
So, how's he crack it?

20
00:01:11,504 --> 00:01:16,209
By analyzing the larva in
the soft tissue of the victim

21
00:01:16,209 --> 00:01:18,211
as a species of bottle fly

22
00:01:18,211 --> 00:01:20,347
indigenous to
the Delaware River Gap.

23
00:01:20,347 --> 00:01:26,152
So, the corpse was concealed
outdoors long enough
for the fly to lay its eggs,

24
00:01:27,220 --> 00:01:30,890
and then driven to
New Jersey and dumped, hmm?

25
00:01:30,890 --> 00:01:33,259
- Exactly.
- Not bad.

26
00:01:33,259 --> 00:01:35,161
In fact, pretty nifty.

27
00:01:35,161 --> 00:01:37,764
However, I've got one for you.

28
00:01:37,764 --> 00:01:40,367
A few weeks ago,
I get a call at home.

29
00:01:40,367 --> 00:01:44,337
Now,
it sounds like a straight-up,
no-frills suicide.

30
00:01:45,939 --> 00:01:47,507
A jumper.

31
00:01:49,809 --> 00:01:52,345
- Munch. Kellerman.
- Dr. Cox.

32
00:01:52,345 --> 00:01:55,281
What have we got here?
Who's our unlucky leaper?

33
00:01:55,281 --> 00:01:57,250
[Kellerman]
White male. Twenties.

34
00:01:57,250 --> 00:01:58,752
- Name?
- Not yet.

35
00:01:58,752 --> 00:02:00,220
[Cox] So what do we know?

36
00:02:00,220 --> 00:02:01,788
Well, he took a header
off the roof.

37
00:02:01,788 --> 00:02:03,590
- You been up there?
- Yeah.

38
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:06,393
No signs of a struggle or
presence of a second party.

39
00:02:06,393 --> 00:02:10,730
Several bystanders witnessed
his lift-off as strictly
a solo flight by all accounts.

40
00:02:10,730 --> 00:02:12,932
Well, what are we talking here,
seven stories?

41
00:02:12,932 --> 00:02:16,469
[Munch] Note the mangled awning,
mute testimony to
his tragic trajectory.

42
00:02:16,469 --> 00:02:18,438
Looks like a pretty
straightforward suicide.

43
00:02:18,438 --> 00:02:20,440
I see absolutely no reason why

44
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,409
we can't all catch
the nine o'clock movie
at The Charles.

45
00:02:22,409 --> 00:02:24,644
- Yeah. Right.
- Yeah, yeah.

46
00:02:24,644 --> 00:02:29,315
- What?
- I wouldn't jump to any
conclusions, Doctor, as it were.

47
00:02:33,453 --> 00:02:36,589
[camera shutter clicking]

48
00:02:38,258 --> 00:02:41,995
I don't understand.
That looks like a gunshot wound.

49
00:02:41,995 --> 00:02:45,231
I say, Holmes.
Shotgun, if I'm not mistaken.

50
00:02:45,231 --> 00:02:48,234
Which might make it... a murder!

51
00:02:48,234 --> 00:02:49,969
- It's a 12-gauge.
- 16.

52
00:02:49,969 --> 00:02:51,471
- You wanna bet?
- You're on.

53
00:02:51,471 --> 00:02:52,605
All right.

54
00:03:02,749 --> 00:03:09,456
[theme music playing]

{\an8}[*]

57
00:03:55,702 --> 00:03:58,371
- [phone ringing]
- [Giardello] <i>Homicide.</i>

58
00:04:05,845 --> 00:04:09,883
{\an8}More than apparent.
Now, several bystanders saw him

59
00:04:09,883 --> 00:04:13,486
{\an8}perched on the edge of this roof
for a good five minutes
before he jumped.

60
00:04:13,486 --> 00:04:16,756
{\an8}And after examination, you found
a significant gunshot wound.

61
00:04:16,756 --> 00:04:19,859
{\an8}No, more than significant.
It was fatal.

62
00:04:19,859 --> 00:04:21,661
{\an8}[clinking]

63
00:04:22,929 --> 00:04:24,464
{\an8}He was suicidal.

64
00:04:25,498 --> 00:04:28,902
{\an8}He goes to the roof
to kill himself.

65
00:04:28,902 --> 00:04:30,603
{\an8}Stands on the edge.

66
00:04:31,404 --> 00:04:32,906
{\an8}Gathers his nerve.

67
00:04:32,906 --> 00:04:35,475
{\an8}And just as he's
about to jump, mmm!

68
00:04:36,543 --> 00:04:39,379
{\an8}He gets shot in the back
by an unseen assailant

69
00:04:39,379 --> 00:04:41,681
{\an8}who leaves no trace
of his presence behind.

70
00:04:41,681 --> 00:04:45,585
{\an8}All right, all right. Actually,
yes, that was my first thought.

71
00:04:45,585 --> 00:04:47,053
{\an8}However...

72
00:04:47,053 --> 00:04:49,823
{\an8}Uh-uh. He was shot in the chest,
not in the back.

73
00:04:49,823 --> 00:04:52,525
{\an8}[Munch] Our eyewitnesses say
he was facing the street.

74
00:04:52,525 --> 00:04:55,395
{\an8}- Maybe he was shot
on the way down.
- Upside-down, you mean.

75
00:04:55,395 --> 00:04:57,364
{\an8}Maybe he was shot
after he hit the ground.

76
00:04:57,364 --> 00:04:58,965
{\an8}Somebody wanted to
make sure he was dead,

77
00:04:58,965 --> 00:05:00,934
{\an8}- delivered the coup de grâce.
- Overkill, don't you think?

78
00:05:00,934 --> 00:05:03,703
Well, you can't be too careful.
Remember Rasputin?

79
00:05:03,703 --> 00:05:06,573
- Actually, I don't.
- Rasputin? They poisoned him,
they stabbed him,

80
00:05:06,573 --> 00:05:09,576
they shot him 12 times,
and then they stuffed him
in a burlap bag

81
00:05:09,576 --> 00:05:11,778
and they dumped him in
the Neva River to drown.

82
00:05:11,778 --> 00:05:13,847
And here's the beauty part:
an hour later,

83
00:05:13,847 --> 00:05:16,950
he pops up five miles downstream
still ticking.

84
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:19,652
Well, that's why
you're a great detective,
'cause you know stuff.

85
00:05:19,652 --> 00:05:21,821
Except about weapons.
It's definitely a 12-gauge.

86
00:05:21,821 --> 00:05:23,757
You saw the pellet
spread on that, right?

87
00:05:23,757 --> 00:05:25,959
- You're a duck hunter now?
Is that it?
- Oh, and you are?

88
00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:28,962
Well, at least I know
the difference between
a mallard and merganser.

89
00:05:28,962 --> 00:05:30,864
Did anybody hear a shot?

90
00:05:30,864 --> 00:05:33,700
One woman thought she heard
something a split second after

91
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:36,836
our pal launched his short but
brilliant career as a kamikaze.

92
00:05:36,836 --> 00:05:39,739
- Which would mean that
he was shot in the air.
- [Kellerman] Right.

93
00:05:39,739 --> 00:05:43,843
Like I said,
somebody sees him getting ready
to cash in his chips,

94
00:05:43,843 --> 00:05:47,881
takes the opportunity for
a little moving target practice,
human skeet shooting.

95
00:05:47,881 --> 00:05:50,183
Yeah, well,
our other eyewitnesses
didn't hear anything,

96
00:05:50,183 --> 00:05:54,087
transfixed as they were by
the sight of this shooting star
plummeting to the earth.

97
00:05:55,555 --> 00:05:58,558
- Enough with the metaphors.
- Without metaphors,
what are we left with?

98
00:05:58,558 --> 00:06:00,827
We have a riddle
surrounded by a mystery

99
00:06:00,827 --> 00:06:03,496
wrapped inside an enigma
and stuffed in a body bag.

100
00:06:03,496 --> 00:06:07,734
[laughs] Well, I guess we're
not gonna make that showing
of <i>The Full Monty</i> after all.

101
00:06:07,734 --> 00:06:09,169
- [pager beeping]
- [Munch] Is that me?

102
00:06:09,169 --> 00:06:11,805
- [Cox] No, it's me.
- [pager beeping]

103
00:06:11,805 --> 00:06:14,741
Well, I am so sorry.
Duty calls. I've got to go.

104
00:06:14,741 --> 00:06:17,077
Wait, wait, wait!
You're not going anywhere!
Wait a minute!

105
00:06:17,077 --> 00:06:20,647
No, no, no, the rest of you
are on vacation. For me,
this is just a busman's holiday.

106
00:06:20,647 --> 00:06:22,716
- [ME 2] Come on!
- You can't leave us hanging!

107
00:06:22,716 --> 00:06:25,452
I'll see you at happy hour.
How's that?

108
00:06:25,452 --> 00:06:27,487
I'll be taking this with me.

109
00:06:27,487 --> 00:06:29,956
Don't have too much fun
without me. See you later.

110
00:06:29,956 --> 00:06:33,093
[laywer] Well, I'd say
sole custody's a long shot.

111
00:06:33,093 --> 00:06:35,061
Even shared custody.

112
00:06:35,061 --> 00:06:38,498
But you agreed to
the present arrangement
as part of the divorce decree,

113
00:06:39,232 --> 00:06:41,901
and unless there is
a compelling reason,

114
00:06:41,901 --> 00:06:45,038
no judge is gonna overturn
the original order.

115
00:06:45,038 --> 00:06:48,842
I have to get him out
of that environment, okay?
My ex, she has this boyfriend--

116
00:06:48,842 --> 00:06:52,178
- Do you think he's
a danger to your son?
- Yeah. He's a drunk.

117
00:06:52,178 --> 00:06:54,981
On what do you base
your characterization?

118
00:06:54,981 --> 00:06:58,218
I checked the guy's records.
Last year he racked up a DUI.

119
00:06:58,218 --> 00:07:00,053
- One arrest?
- How many do you need?

120
00:07:00,053 --> 00:07:02,022
The guy should not be
around my kid. He's a menace.

121
00:07:02,022 --> 00:07:04,724
- It's irresponsible
of Daniel's mother.
- All right.

122
00:07:05,692 --> 00:07:07,560
We can file the papers
if you want.

123
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:08,862
I just think I ought to warn you

124
00:07:08,862 --> 00:07:10,830
that I don't think
we got much of a chance.

125
00:07:11,831 --> 00:07:13,967
Yeah, well, I'm not afraid.
This is important.

126
00:07:17,871 --> 00:07:19,539
Definite non-starter.

127
00:07:19,539 --> 00:07:21,808
- [Ballard] Why do you say that?
- Street dealer.

128
00:07:21,808 --> 00:07:24,878
- You know this guy?
- No, I don't have to.

129
00:07:24,878 --> 00:07:28,248
The way he's dressed,
the neighborhood he's in.

130
00:07:28,248 --> 00:07:32,819
Well, department policy, right?
We're not supposed to profile
people

131
00:07:32,819 --> 00:07:38,625
according to their ethnicity
or neighborhood
or socio-economic status.

132
00:07:38,625 --> 00:07:41,861
What a crock!
What else does a cop do?

133
00:07:41,861 --> 00:07:45,965
Okay,
so call it an educated guess
based on years of experience.

134
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,103
So he's a dealer.
That makes him a non-starter?

135
00:07:50,103 --> 00:07:54,874
That makes him one more unknown
soldier of the drug wars.

136
00:07:54,874 --> 00:07:57,010
Instead of investigating
his murder,

137
00:07:57,010 --> 00:07:58,578
we ought to build him a tomb.

138
00:07:58,578 --> 00:08:00,213
A mook like this,

139
00:08:00,213 --> 00:08:03,750
what we call
"collateral casualty."

140
00:08:04,751 --> 00:08:07,987
Hope I never get
that cynical in this job.

141
00:08:07,987 --> 00:08:10,090
Yeah? Well, just wait.

142
00:08:10,090 --> 00:08:12,258
- Hey.
- Hey, there.

143
00:08:12,258 --> 00:08:15,762
[Cox] Oh, let me guess.
Drug dealer?

144
00:08:15,762 --> 00:08:19,566
Oh, heaven forbid I should
profile anyone prematurely.

145
00:08:19,566 --> 00:08:21,835
[Cox laughs] Right.

146
00:08:21,835 --> 00:08:23,069
Okay...

147
00:08:24,604 --> 00:08:28,808
Wow, mercy!
Somebody was really, really
ticked off with this young man.

148
00:08:37,817 --> 00:08:38,985
How'd it go?

149
00:08:40,253 --> 00:08:43,156
Well, he says I got all of a
clam's chance on Mount Everest.

150
00:08:43,156 --> 00:08:46,626
- That good, huh?
- Put it this way:
it'd be like, uh...

151
00:08:47,694 --> 00:08:50,163
Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield
sitting down at dinner.

152
00:08:50,163 --> 00:08:51,898
Theoretically possible, but...

153
00:08:51,898 --> 00:08:54,300
So what are you gonna do,
give up on the whole thing?

154
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:57,203
Hell, no.
Gonna make her work for it.

155
00:08:57,203 --> 00:09:01,041
Maybe I'll get lucky.
I'll find a sympathetic judge
or something.

156
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:02,976
This no-fault divorce,
it's a laugh, man!

157
00:09:02,976 --> 00:09:04,978
Let me tell you something,
it's all about fault.

158
00:09:04,978 --> 00:09:06,780
You think that divorce
is gonna be a cure.

159
00:09:06,780 --> 00:09:08,982
It's just swapping one set
of problems for another.

160
00:09:08,982 --> 00:09:10,316
Well...

161
00:09:10,316 --> 00:09:11,851
I guess that's why
some people choose

162
00:09:11,851 --> 00:09:14,954
the other solution: murder.

163
00:09:16,856 --> 00:09:18,825
Don't think it didn't
cross my mind.

164
00:09:22,662 --> 00:09:24,197
- [Cox] Oh, hey.
- Hey. What do we got?

165
00:09:24,197 --> 00:09:29,769
Well, we found at least
26 identifiable entry wounds.

166
00:09:29,769 --> 00:09:32,005
Missed it by four.
Like the commissioner said,

167
00:09:32,005 --> 00:09:34,107
"Drive-bys are out,
executions are in."

168
00:09:34,107 --> 00:09:37,977
[chuckles] We recovered about
a dozen or so suitable slugs,

169
00:09:37,977 --> 00:09:40,947
- mostly .38s.
- More than one shooter?

170
00:09:40,947 --> 00:09:43,416
Well, there could've
been a whole regiment.

171
00:09:43,416 --> 00:09:45,218
Any idea who this fellow is?

172
00:09:45,218 --> 00:09:47,287
Someone from the neighborhood
gave us a street name

173
00:09:47,287 --> 00:09:49,989
and we took it down to Narcotics
to identify, but, uh...

174
00:09:49,989 --> 00:09:51,958
They got a whole bunch
of new people over there.

175
00:09:51,958 --> 00:09:54,194
They don't know the territory,
they don't know the players.

176
00:09:54,194 --> 00:09:57,263
You should talk to Stivers.
She was in Narcotics forever

177
00:09:57,263 --> 00:09:58,865
before she went to Sex Crimes.

178
00:09:58,865 --> 00:10:00,900
Hey, how's the MEs' convention?

179
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:03,003
Congratulations on
the big award.

180
00:10:03,003 --> 00:10:06,039
Oh, yeah, thanks.
Actually, I just telling
some of my colleagues about

181
00:10:06,039 --> 00:10:08,375
that weird jumper case that
Munch and Kellerman caught.

182
00:10:08,375 --> 00:10:10,877
A shotgun blast
perforated his chest,

183
00:10:10,877 --> 00:10:15,115
severed all the major arteries,
shredded his heart and lungs.

184
00:10:15,115 --> 00:10:16,950
Fatal, no question.

185
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:19,152
- So it is murder?
- [Cox] Well, not necessarily.

186
00:10:19,152 --> 00:10:23,957
If his intent was
to commit suicide
and he would've died anyway

187
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:27,360
as a result of injuries incurred
from jumping off the roof,

188
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,696
it's still suicide,
in my opinion.

189
00:10:29,696 --> 00:10:31,464
Well, then it's suicide.

190
00:10:31,464 --> 00:10:35,869
- Seven-story fall kills him,
no question.
- [Cox] Not necessarily.

191
00:10:35,869 --> 00:10:39,272
If the awning slowed
his momentum sufficiently,

192
00:10:39,272 --> 00:10:42,842
then he might have survived
his fall, had he not been shot,

193
00:10:42,842 --> 00:10:45,879
in which case, it's a homicide.

194
00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:49,416
So you're saying with a little
bit of luck, he could've been
left a pulverized, paralyzed,

195
00:10:49,416 --> 00:10:53,420
drooling, brain-dead,
incontinent individual
with very few prospects

196
00:10:53,420 --> 00:10:55,722
for future happiness
and full-time employment?

197
00:10:55,722 --> 00:10:57,057
I'm gonna run some tests.

198
00:10:57,057 --> 00:10:59,993
It's homicide if the shot
was fired with intent.

199
00:10:59,993 --> 00:11:02,295
If it was an accidental
discharge, on the other hand...

200
00:11:02,295 --> 00:11:03,897
Don't you hate
when that happens?

201
00:11:03,897 --> 00:11:05,999
...then we're talking
manslaughter.

202
00:11:05,999 --> 00:11:08,335
You know,
with that little mustache
and those beady little eyes,

203
00:11:08,335 --> 00:11:12,339
he looks like a cross between
Steve Buscemi, John Waters,
and Edgar Allan Poe.

204
00:11:12,339 --> 00:11:15,909
- Aren't they all the same guy?
- Okay, stay with me here, guys.

205
00:11:15,909 --> 00:11:18,311
We've ruled out
the shooter on the roof.

206
00:11:18,311 --> 00:11:21,448
We don't know yet if
he would've survived the fall.

207
00:11:21,448 --> 00:11:23,183
Well, we don't know much, do we?

208
00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:25,985
Well, we know that
he was shot after he jumped,

209
00:11:25,985 --> 00:11:29,189
- but before he hit the ground.
- Right. Which I said.

210
00:11:29,189 --> 00:11:32,759
- By someone from
inside the building.
- How do we know that?

211
00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:35,528
Because we found hundreds
of minute fragments of glass

212
00:11:35,528 --> 00:11:38,932
and wooden window frame
and glazier's putty
embedded in the body.

213
00:11:38,932 --> 00:11:40,533
[Munch] <i>So much for
my coup de grâce theory.</i>

214
00:11:40,533 --> 00:11:42,502
[Cox] <i>He was definitely
shot by someone</i>

215
00:11:42,502 --> 00:11:45,038
<i>as he plummeted
past their window.</i>

216
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,876
<i>So Munch and Kellerman
went back to the building,</i>

217
00:11:49,876 --> 00:11:51,845
<i>looking for telltale signs,</i>

218
00:11:51,845 --> 00:11:54,848
<i>clues to the location
where the shot had come from.</i>

219
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,155
Detective work is
not always neurosurgery.

220
00:12:02,155 --> 00:12:04,224
I can't believe
we missed that last night.

221
00:12:04,224 --> 00:12:06,292
Well, it was dark.
It's hard to tell an open window

222
00:12:06,292 --> 00:12:09,095
- from one that's been
blown to smithereens.
- [knocking on door]

223
00:12:11,131 --> 00:12:15,368
- [man] Yeah?
- Mr. Cochran. We'd like to ask
you a few questions, please.

224
00:12:15,368 --> 00:12:17,904
Uh... oh, yeah.
Sure. Sure. Come in.

225
00:12:17,904 --> 00:12:19,172
[Munch] Thank you.

226
00:12:27,447 --> 00:12:30,150
Oh, thank God!
The long arm of the law!

227
00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:32,452
Uh, do you by any chance
happen to own a shotgun?

228
00:12:32,452 --> 00:12:35,121
I've been waiting for this!

229
00:12:35,121 --> 00:12:37,090
Yes, matter of fact, I do.
Want me to go get it?

230
00:12:37,090 --> 00:12:39,025
Why don't you just point me
in the right direction?

231
00:12:39,025 --> 00:12:40,860
Okay. Turn right there
in the hallway--

232
00:12:40,860 --> 00:12:43,263
And it's on the left-hand side.
Excuse me.

233
00:12:43,263 --> 00:12:47,934
Yes, turn right here,
and then it's the second closet
on the left.

234
00:12:47,934 --> 00:12:50,470
- I'm telling him. Shh. Yeah.
- [Emily] All the way down.
Keep going.

235
00:12:50,470 --> 00:12:51,971
- This one?
- Yeah.

236
00:12:51,971 --> 00:12:53,873
- Is it loaded?
- It's never loaded.

237
00:12:53,873 --> 00:12:56,142
- Ha!
- Well, almost never.

238
00:12:56,142 --> 00:12:59,879
Mr. Cochran, did you have
occasion to discharge
that weapon on Friday night?

239
00:12:59,879 --> 00:13:03,883
- Yeah, I confess, I did.
- And he was aiming
the damn thing at me.

240
00:13:03,883 --> 00:13:06,986
- You may be guilty of murder.
- We're not sure yet.

241
00:13:06,986 --> 00:13:11,157
- But I didn't hit her.
- No! Just terrorized me
emotionally.

242
00:13:11,157 --> 00:13:13,093
[screaming]

243
00:13:13,093 --> 00:13:16,162
You shot the guy who was jumping
off the roof of your building.

244
00:13:16,162 --> 00:13:19,032
Somebody jumped off
the roof of our building?

245
00:13:19,032 --> 00:13:22,202
- You didn't hear
about the suicide?
- We don't get out much.

246
00:13:22,202 --> 00:13:24,971
How could I murder somebody
who was committing suicide?

247
00:13:24,971 --> 00:13:27,007
You killed him before
he finished killing himself.

248
00:13:27,007 --> 00:13:29,009
I didn't even know
he was out there!

249
00:13:29,009 --> 00:13:31,911
If you try to kill A
and kill B instead,
it's still murder.

250
00:13:31,911 --> 00:13:34,314
But I wasn't trying to kill her.
I was just threatening her.

251
00:13:34,314 --> 00:13:37,050
- I've been doing it for years.
- It's true, he has.

252
00:13:37,050 --> 00:13:38,952
You threaten your wife
with a loaded shotgun?

253
00:13:38,952 --> 00:13:41,321
Of course not!
Don't be ridiculous. Unloaded.

254
00:13:41,321 --> 00:13:44,391
Oh, he points the shotgun at me,
pulls the trigger,

255
00:13:44,391 --> 00:13:48,328
- says, "boom,"
and cackles like a maniac.
- Boom! [cackling]

256
00:13:48,328 --> 00:13:51,231
- [chuckles]
- See?
See what I have to live with?

257
00:13:51,231 --> 00:13:53,600
- [groans]
- Mr. and Mrs. Cochran,
please sit down.

258
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,368
- Yeah, yeah.
- Now, when was the last time

259
00:13:55,368 --> 00:13:59,005
you two staged this little
pas de deux of connubial bliss?

260
00:13:59,005 --> 00:14:02,008
Uh, before last night?
I don't know, ages ago.

261
00:14:02,008 --> 00:14:06,079
Thanksgiving, to be exact.
A real knock-down drag-out.

262
00:14:06,079 --> 00:14:08,214
- Precipitating incident?
- Excuse me?

263
00:14:08,214 --> 00:14:11,284
- Why'd you wave the gun at her?
- I scorched the gravy,
in his opinion.

264
00:14:11,284 --> 00:14:14,320
Scorching has nothing
to do with opinion, Emily.
It's a chemical fact.

265
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,190
- [Emily] No-- Oh, chemical--
- Yeah, you heard me.
Whole meal was a disaster.

266
00:14:17,190 --> 00:14:19,626
Started with
the cranberry sauce,
went downhill from there.

267
00:14:19,626 --> 00:14:21,494
- But the gun was unloaded?
- Right!

268
00:14:21,494 --> 00:14:23,363
And it's been in
that closet since?

269
00:14:23,363 --> 00:14:24,698
Oh, he likes to keep it handy.

270
00:14:24,698 --> 00:14:26,266
What made you
take it out last night?

271
00:14:26,266 --> 00:14:27,467
She burned the pot roast,

272
00:14:27,467 --> 00:14:29,302
turned it into
charcoal briquettes.

273
00:14:29,302 --> 00:14:31,705
- I blackened it.
- Oh, black-- What are we
talking, cajun pot roast?

274
00:14:31,705 --> 00:14:33,239
- Cajun pot--
- Give me a break--

275
00:14:33,239 --> 00:14:35,975
Whoa! So between
Thanksgiving and last night,

276
00:14:35,975 --> 00:14:37,977
who loaded it? Elves?

277
00:14:37,977 --> 00:14:40,013
I don't know. I wouldn't be
surprised if she did.

278
00:14:40,013 --> 00:14:41,981
Yeah, trying to
get me into trouble.

279
00:14:41,981 --> 00:14:45,118
A perfect case of cutting off
your nose to spite your face.

280
00:14:45,118 --> 00:14:47,053
Oh, sure, sure.

281
00:14:47,053 --> 00:14:50,123
And I was the second gunman
on the grassy knoll, too.

282
00:14:50,123 --> 00:14:51,424
Senile dementia.

283
00:14:51,424 --> 00:14:54,094
All right, we're gonna have to
take this with us for evidence.

284
00:14:54,094 --> 00:14:56,429
- It's a 16-gauge.
You owe me 50 bucks.
- [Kellerman] Yeah.

285
00:14:56,429 --> 00:14:57,997
Gentlemen.

286
00:14:57,997 --> 00:15:01,067
So, you are going to
the electric chair.

287
00:15:01,067 --> 00:15:03,436
- And about time!
- It was an accident, Emily!

288
00:15:03,436 --> 00:15:07,140
- We'll get back to you on that.
- Ah, get back to yourself.
Sheesh.

289
00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:11,111
I don't know, Dr. Cox.
If I'd heard this story
from anyone else,

290
00:15:11,111 --> 00:15:14,347
I'd have dismissed it as just
another one of those urban myth.

291
00:15:14,347 --> 00:15:19,019
- Alligators in the sewers
of New York.
- The poodle in the microwave!

292
00:15:19,019 --> 00:15:22,722
I would be skeptical too if
I hadn't caught the case myself.

293
00:15:22,722 --> 00:15:25,058
- [pager beeping]
- Oh...

294
00:15:26,259 --> 00:15:29,295
I am so embarrassed.
As your hostess,

295
00:15:29,295 --> 00:15:33,099
you must think that
Charm City is the murder capital
of the country.

296
00:15:33,099 --> 00:15:35,101
We are not always this busy.

297
00:15:35,101 --> 00:15:37,470
Well, no, I take it back.
Yes, we are, most of time.

298
00:15:37,470 --> 00:15:40,173
- Excuse me. I'll be right back.
- Bye.

299
00:15:40,173 --> 00:15:42,242
I'll call you tomorrow,
okay, Paula?

300
00:15:43,410 --> 00:15:44,611
Thank you.

301
00:15:45,612 --> 00:15:48,181
- Ballard, Gharty, what's up?
- Hey!

302
00:15:48,181 --> 00:15:50,150
Some grisly sex murder?
You need to know

303
00:15:50,150 --> 00:15:52,585
which of my favorite serial
rapists might've crossed a line?

304
00:15:52,585 --> 00:15:55,755
No, no, no.
Just a dead dope-slinger.

305
00:15:55,755 --> 00:15:58,625
The new guys in Narcotics
had no idea who this was.

306
00:15:58,625 --> 00:16:02,996
Jake the Jake.
Real name's Antonio Livingston.

307
00:16:04,064 --> 00:16:07,133
Wow! I'm surprised
he lasted this long.

308
00:16:07,133 --> 00:16:09,569
We gather that
he wasn't the best-liked guy
in the neighborhood.

309
00:16:09,569 --> 00:16:11,705
Uh-huh. Hardly.
Jake was a baker.

310
00:16:11,705 --> 00:16:14,541
- Baker?
- He peddled counterfeit drugs.

311
00:16:14,541 --> 00:16:18,745
He'd sell raw sugar as smack,
oregano spliffs,
baking soda for crack.

312
00:16:18,745 --> 00:16:20,814
Anything white
that fits in a vial.

313
00:16:20,814 --> 00:16:24,718
- Well, he ripped someone off
once too often.
- Might've been more than money.

314
00:16:24,718 --> 00:16:28,421
You can get real sick
snorting or shooting up
one of Jake's products.

315
00:16:28,421 --> 00:16:32,759
If I were you,
I'd check any one of his
many dissatisfied customers.

316
00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:36,229
Great. Must be thousands
in West Baltimore.

317
00:16:37,263 --> 00:16:39,499
You wouldn't wanna help us
get off the schneid on this one,
would you?

318
00:16:39,499 --> 00:16:42,802
[Stivers] Sure.
Let me get my coat,
introduce you to Jake's world.

319
00:16:44,237 --> 00:16:46,740
- Detective Terri Stivers?
- Right.

320
00:16:46,740 --> 00:16:50,844
I wanna thank you in advance for
accepting this in a civilized
and non-confrontational manner.

321
00:16:50,844 --> 00:16:53,780
- [Stivers] Accepting what?
- Hey, I don't read the card.

322
00:16:53,780 --> 00:16:55,715
I just deliver the flowers,
you know?

323
00:16:55,715 --> 00:16:57,450
Have a nice day.

324
00:16:57,450 --> 00:16:59,285
I'm being sued?

325
00:17:00,653 --> 00:17:02,155
Georgia Rae Mahoney.

326
00:17:02,155 --> 00:17:04,257
- [Gharty] Holy cow.
- [Ballard] Ooh.

327
00:17:05,158 --> 00:17:11,731
[*]

328
00:17:17,604 --> 00:17:19,272
So have you ever been sued?

329
00:17:19,906 --> 00:17:22,275
Not for 60 million bucks.

330
00:17:22,275 --> 00:17:24,678
Stivers won't
have to pay a cent.

331
00:17:24,678 --> 00:17:26,746
City's on the hook
for the lion's share.

332
00:17:26,746 --> 00:17:28,815
Yeah, but still,
I don't envy her.

333
00:17:28,815 --> 00:17:30,350
Must be a nightmare.

334
00:17:31,251 --> 00:17:33,853
This Luther Mahoney shooting,
what a fiasco.

335
00:17:34,788 --> 00:17:36,556
Does anybody know
what really happened?

336
00:17:37,557 --> 00:17:40,827
Besides Stivers, Lewis,
and Kellerman? Luther.

337
00:17:40,827 --> 00:17:42,662
He ain't talking.

338
00:17:42,662 --> 00:17:44,698
Oh, here she comes.

339
00:17:44,698 --> 00:17:46,299
- [Gharty] Hey!
- [Stivers] Hey.

340
00:17:46,299 --> 00:17:47,567
How are you?

341
00:17:47,567 --> 00:17:49,602
So Stoney says
a couple of white boys

342
00:17:49,602 --> 00:17:53,139
in a trashed-out pickup truck
came around looking for
Jake yesterday.

343
00:17:53,139 --> 00:17:55,809
Seems they were
very unhappy with his product.

344
00:17:55,809 --> 00:17:58,411
- White boys? Isn't that unusual?
- Not very.

345
00:17:58,411 --> 00:18:00,880
They roll up the hill
from Pigtown, Morrell Park.

346
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,683
Five minutes away, this is
the closest place to get a fix.

347
00:18:03,683 --> 00:18:05,819
How trashed out was the truck?

348
00:18:05,819 --> 00:18:07,754
Bonafide city goat stretch.

349
00:18:07,754 --> 00:18:10,390
Bailing wire,
caulking compound, and string.

350
00:18:10,390 --> 00:18:13,360
Not to profile anybody,
Ballard, but...

351
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:17,330
whites in a neighborhood
like this, which is 99% Black,

352
00:18:17,330 --> 00:18:21,301
drug bazaar on every corner,
chances are they're dope fiends.

353
00:18:21,301 --> 00:18:22,836
Or cops.

354
00:18:22,836 --> 00:18:25,872
Have fun.
I gotta go find a lawyer.

355
00:18:25,872 --> 00:18:27,574
Yeah, well,
thanks for your help, bud.

356
00:18:27,574 --> 00:18:28,808
My pleasure.

357
00:18:28,808 --> 00:18:31,177
It's a nice break from my life.

358
00:18:33,246 --> 00:18:35,849
[Lewis] So he says,
"Then I'll eat my way
to your heart."

359
00:18:35,849 --> 00:18:38,885
- [Falsone sighs]
- [Lewis chuckling]

360
00:18:39,819 --> 00:18:41,488
Either of you gentlemen
Detective Lewis?

361
00:18:41,488 --> 00:18:44,257
- That's me.
- I have something for you.

362
00:18:45,725 --> 00:18:47,927
What's this?
Fan mail from a flounder?

363
00:18:49,262 --> 00:18:50,530
Ah, you're too young.

364
00:18:54,401 --> 00:18:55,368
Georgia Rae?

365
00:18:55,368 --> 00:18:57,937
The other spiked heel
finally dropped, huh?

366
00:18:57,937 --> 00:18:59,839
With a vengeance.

367
00:19:01,274 --> 00:19:03,410
Wrongful death civil suit.

368
00:19:04,411 --> 00:19:07,814
She claims that Kellerman killed
her brother in cold blood,

369
00:19:07,814 --> 00:19:11,351
and that Stivers and I
connived to cover it up.

370
00:19:11,351 --> 00:19:12,552
Well?

371
00:19:13,987 --> 00:19:16,423
- Well what?
- [process server] Either of you
gentlemen happen to know

372
00:19:16,423 --> 00:19:19,392
where my old friend
Detective Kellerman is
at the present moment?

373
00:19:21,628 --> 00:19:23,296
Yeah. Follow me.

374
00:19:26,299 --> 00:19:28,401
So where was I? Thank you.

375
00:19:28,401 --> 00:19:30,837
Ah. They'd found
the old couple with the shotgun.

376
00:19:30,837 --> 00:19:34,007
- The murder weapon.
- Ah, yes, the Cochrans.

377
00:19:34,007 --> 00:19:37,977
But... was it murder?

378
00:19:38,778 --> 00:19:40,380
That was the question.

379
00:19:40,380 --> 00:19:45,418
So I ran some projections
based on velocity, distance,

380
00:19:45,418 --> 00:19:49,022
body weight of our John Doe,
speed with which
he struck the awning,

381
00:19:49,022 --> 00:19:51,291
angle of impact at the sidewalk.

382
00:19:51,291 --> 00:19:54,561
I even tried to factor in
the torque of the shotgun blast.

383
00:19:54,561 --> 00:19:56,296
The shotgun torque?

384
00:19:56,296 --> 00:19:58,698
How about prevailing breezes?

385
00:19:58,698 --> 00:20:00,800
And the bottom line is?

386
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:06,039
Assuming median emergency
response time and no mistakes
by the paramedics...

387
00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:08,308
[Kellerman] A major assumption.

388
00:20:08,308 --> 00:20:10,377
...I think
he might have survived.

389
00:20:10,377 --> 00:20:12,979
- So it's a homicide?
- Tentatively.

390
00:20:12,979 --> 00:20:14,748
Tentative homicide?

391
00:20:14,748 --> 00:20:16,383
Avec torque.

392
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:21,054
Of course, it was impossible
to determine to a certainty

393
00:20:21,054 --> 00:20:23,857
whether our John Doe would've
survived his suicide attempt,

394
00:20:23,857 --> 00:20:27,327
but I thought that the odds
in his favor were pretty good.

395
00:20:27,327 --> 00:20:29,996
Was the old man guilty of murder
or of manslaughter?

396
00:20:29,996 --> 00:20:34,467
Depending on his intent,
of course, and whether or not
he knew the gun was loaded.

397
00:20:34,467 --> 00:20:39,005
Before you answer that,
I have to give a paper on
ligature strangulation.

398
00:20:39,005 --> 00:20:43,376
- Could we continue this
over dinner?
- Absolutely. Tomorrow night.

399
00:20:43,376 --> 00:20:46,046
- [MEs groan]
- Sorry. I'm booked till then.

400
00:20:46,046 --> 00:20:47,847
- Tomorrow night it is.
- [Cox] Okay.

401
00:20:47,847 --> 00:20:50,850
[overlapping farewells]

402
00:20:50,850 --> 00:20:53,486
[scoffs] Uh-- Um...

403
00:20:53,486 --> 00:20:55,422
Okay. Um...

404
00:20:55,989 --> 00:20:57,991
I'll get it. You can just...

405
00:21:01,428 --> 00:21:03,863
[Ballard] Why do you
call them "city goats"?

406
00:21:03,863 --> 00:21:05,632
Hillbillies.

407
00:21:05,632 --> 00:21:09,069
Appalachia's only 90 miles
from here due west.

408
00:21:09,069 --> 00:21:11,638
They started coming to
Baltimore during the war.

409
00:21:11,638 --> 00:21:14,374
Get out of the mines,
look for work. Still do.

410
00:21:14,374 --> 00:21:18,078
Except these days, there isn't
any. Unless they wanna sell
T-shirts to the inner harbor.

411
00:21:19,045 --> 00:21:21,915
Looky, looky. Here we go.

412
00:21:21,915 --> 00:21:24,651
[Ballard] How do you know
these are the guys
that we're looking for?

413
00:21:24,651 --> 00:21:27,887
[Gharty] I don't know.
We'll bust them, lean on 'em,
see what they know.

414
00:21:27,887 --> 00:21:29,723
You know,
if these aren't our guys,

415
00:21:29,723 --> 00:21:32,525
they're probably cousins,
kinfolk of some kind.

416
00:21:32,525 --> 00:21:35,795
Oh, God!
That is such a stereotype.

417
00:21:35,795 --> 00:21:38,865
[Gharty] I'm telling you, all
these hillbillies are related.

418
00:21:38,865 --> 00:21:41,501
[chuckles] You'll see.

419
00:21:41,501 --> 00:21:43,770
When we catch 'em, we'll get 'em
to take off their shoes.

420
00:21:43,770 --> 00:21:48,141
- What? Why?
- Six toes on each foot,
webbing in between.

421
00:21:48,141 --> 00:21:50,443
- [Ballard] Oh, stop it!
- [Gharty] You think I'm kidding?

422
00:21:50,443 --> 00:21:52,145
Oh, what,
it's not politically correct?

423
00:21:52,145 --> 00:21:55,548
- Uh, no. Absolutely not.
- [Gharty] Which part?

424
00:21:55,548 --> 00:21:59,019
City goats, hillbillies,
the whole thing, sir.

425
00:21:59,019 --> 00:22:01,588
You would prefer "white trash"?

426
00:22:01,588 --> 00:22:04,691
Now, why is that less offensive
than any other racial epithet?

427
00:22:04,691 --> 00:22:07,560
It's not racial,
it's descriptive.
Look at the truck.

428
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:12,432
- [Ballard] Stuart!
- It must've been so difficult
being a cop in Seattle,

429
00:22:12,432 --> 00:22:15,468
you know, having to come up
with all those euphemisms.

430
00:22:15,468 --> 00:22:17,404
How about
"chromosomally challenged"?

431
00:22:17,404 --> 00:22:19,105
- [Ballard] Okay...
- No?

432
00:22:19,105 --> 00:22:22,909
-"Inbred gene pool syndrome."
- [Ballard] Okay.

433
00:22:22,909 --> 00:22:25,712
- [engine revving]
- [Gharty] Oh, damn.
Oh, they made us.

434
00:22:25,712 --> 00:22:30,417

- I'm surprised that truck

444
00:23:29,609 --> 00:23:32,746
even had a license plate, much
less a current registration.

445
00:23:32,746 --> 00:23:34,481
South Carey Street?

446
00:23:34,481 --> 00:23:37,117
Scary Street.

447
00:23:37,117 --> 00:23:39,152
Whoa...

448
00:23:39,152 --> 00:23:43,690
- Let's run his sheet before
we go, see what we got on him.
- All right.

449
00:23:44,591 --> 00:23:45,825
[Giardello] Well, now...

450
00:23:47,927 --> 00:23:49,662
the Georgia Rae lawsuit.

451
00:23:50,663 --> 00:23:53,199
Besides the two of you
and Stivers,

452
00:23:54,267 --> 00:23:56,569
she's also suing the city,

453
00:23:57,671 --> 00:24:00,874
the police department, and me.

454
00:24:04,678 --> 00:24:07,881
It was a clean shooting.
We were cleared.
She's got no case.

455
00:24:07,881 --> 00:24:11,184
The standard of proof in
a civil case is much lower.

456
00:24:11,184 --> 00:24:13,787
This is a high-profile lawsuit.

457
00:24:13,787 --> 00:24:16,523
The boss is already
looking for scapegoats.

458
00:24:16,523 --> 00:24:18,191
Sorry to drag you
in on this, Gee.

459
00:24:18,191 --> 00:24:21,661
- So what happens to us now?
- [Giardello] Stay on
active rotation.

460
00:24:21,661 --> 00:24:24,064
Go about your business
as much as possible.

461
00:24:24,064 --> 00:24:27,667
Act like nothin' ever happened?
A little late for that.

462
00:24:27,667 --> 00:24:31,004
- I'll do whatever
I can to support you.
- Thanks. I appreciate it.

463
00:24:31,004 --> 00:24:33,173
[Giardello] Is there anything
I should know about this?

464
00:24:33,173 --> 00:24:36,609
Now's the time to tell me.
Don't leave me
twisting in the wind.

465
00:24:36,609 --> 00:24:38,712
No,
it went down just like we said.

466
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:54,994
See that?

467
00:24:56,129 --> 00:24:58,298
Used to be
the Pigtown public baths.

468
00:24:58,298 --> 00:25:01,968
Five cents a scrub,
and if you were really
in the mood to splurge,

469
00:25:01,968 --> 00:25:04,838
another nickel for a towel
and a cardboard comb.

470
00:25:04,838 --> 00:25:07,107
I've never seen
a cardboard comb.

471
00:25:07,107 --> 00:25:08,742
I don't think
they make 'em anymore.

472
00:25:08,742 --> 00:25:11,311
There is a whole sense
of history here

473
00:25:11,311 --> 00:25:13,680
that they do not have out west.

474
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,715
Baltimore is one of those places

475
00:25:15,715 --> 00:25:19,019
where history has people
by the throat on a daily basis.

476
00:25:21,788 --> 00:25:23,923
[knocking]

477
00:25:27,694 --> 00:25:29,596
We're looking for
Douglas McCord.

478
00:25:29,596 --> 00:25:30,997
[baby crying]

479
00:25:30,997 --> 00:25:32,732
Who are you? The police?

480
00:25:32,732 --> 00:25:34,267
Baltimore City detectives,
ma'am.

481
00:25:34,267 --> 00:25:36,002
- We just wanna talk with him.
- He in trouble?

482
00:25:36,002 --> 00:25:38,905
No, no. We were hoping
he can help us out on something.

483
00:25:38,905 --> 00:25:42,042
- He ain't here.
- You know where we can find him?

484
00:25:42,042 --> 00:25:44,678
- I ain't seen him.
- [Ballard] Well,
he does live here, right?

485
00:25:44,678 --> 00:25:46,613
His truck is registered
to this address.

486
00:25:46,613 --> 00:25:50,316
Um... some. Time to time.

487
00:25:50,316 --> 00:25:52,118
When'd you see him last?

488
00:25:54,954 --> 00:25:58,158
It's hard to tell.
He-- he comes and goes.

489
00:25:59,025 --> 00:26:01,628
Anyone else live here who could
tell us where Douglas is?

490
00:26:01,628 --> 00:26:03,229
Can't think of nobody.

491
00:26:03,229 --> 00:26:05,365
- Uh, who's Rodney?
- Rodney?

492
00:26:05,365 --> 00:26:07,100
[Ballard] Rodney McCord?

493
00:26:07,100 --> 00:26:08,368
Oh, uh...

494
00:26:09,669 --> 00:26:10,837
Doug's brother.

495
00:26:10,837 --> 00:26:12,872
- Well, where's he?
- He ain't here.

496
00:26:12,872 --> 00:26:15,975
Well, do you know where
old Douglas or Rodney might be?

497
00:26:16,843 --> 00:26:19,746
I don't. I-- I surely don't.

498
00:26:19,746 --> 00:26:24,184
Well, then when would be
a good time for us to come back
when we can catch up with them?

499
00:26:24,184 --> 00:26:26,219
Oh, any time.

500
00:26:26,219 --> 00:26:27,887
It don't matter.

501
00:26:27,887 --> 00:26:29,789
Whenever.
Tomorrow, the next day.

502
00:26:29,789 --> 00:26:31,324
[Ballard] What,
you're not expecting them?

503
00:26:31,324 --> 00:26:33,059
No. Not really.

504
00:26:33,059 --> 00:26:35,061
Come on, let's go.
This is a waste of time.

505
00:26:35,061 --> 00:26:37,964
Listen, here's my card.

506
00:26:37,964 --> 00:26:41,868
Why don't you tell Douglas
to call me when he returns?
It's Laura Ballard.

507
00:26:42,969 --> 00:26:46,139
- And, uh, your name, ma'am?
- Donna.

508
00:26:46,139 --> 00:26:49,009
- Donna what?
- [scoffs] McCord!

509
00:26:49,009 --> 00:26:51,177
So you are Douglas
and Rodney's sister?

510
00:26:51,177 --> 00:26:54,314
[laughing] Oh, hell no.

511
00:26:54,314 --> 00:26:55,849
I'm their mama!

512
00:26:57,083 --> 00:26:59,953
[chuckles] I'm sorry, you're
too young to be their mother.

513
00:27:01,721 --> 00:27:04,858
Well, somebody should've
told their daddy that.

514
00:27:10,930 --> 00:27:13,233
- A stereotype, huh?
- Yeah, okay.

515
00:27:13,233 --> 00:27:15,969
You know that old expression
"head for the hills"?

516
00:27:15,969 --> 00:27:18,405
- Yeah.
- When they're in trouble,

517
00:27:18,405 --> 00:27:20,240
that's what they do.
Go back home.

518
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,108
I'll bet our guys are hiding out

519
00:27:22,108 --> 00:27:24,110
with Jed and Jethro
until the coast is clear.

520
00:27:24,110 --> 00:27:26,179
Well, according to his sheet,

521
00:27:26,179 --> 00:27:30,183
the first time Douglas was
paroled was to an uncle
in Allegheny County.

522
00:27:31,785 --> 00:27:35,121
- What do you think?
- I mean, what the hell?
It's 90 miles away, so.

523
00:27:35,121 --> 00:27:40,026
- Should we clear it
with Giardello?
- Why? We just wanna talk to 'em.

524
00:27:40,026 --> 00:27:41,728
Hey, I'm game.

525
00:27:44,431 --> 00:27:47,467
[overlapping chatter]

526
00:27:47,467 --> 00:27:50,770
[saw whirring]

527
00:28:02,816 --> 00:28:04,918
- Hey.
- [Kellerman] How are you?

528
00:28:05,919 --> 00:28:08,355
- I'm okay. How are you?
- I've been better.

529
00:28:08,355 --> 00:28:11,791
I can't seem to get out
from under the justice system.

530
00:28:12,459 --> 00:28:13,927
[Cox] Yes, I know. I heard.

531
00:28:13,927 --> 00:28:16,096
Yeah, well,
it must be all over town.

532
00:28:17,330 --> 00:28:20,200
It'll be in the papers tomorrow,
on the late news tonight.

533
00:28:21,167 --> 00:28:23,036
- I'm really sorry.
- It's like the song says,

534
00:28:23,036 --> 00:28:25,071
"I fought the law
and the law won."

535
00:28:26,239 --> 00:28:28,108
You have dinner plans?

536
00:28:28,108 --> 00:28:32,812
Um, yes, unfortunately.
It's just colleagues.

537
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,816
- ME shop talk over dinner?
- Yeah.

538
00:28:36,816 --> 00:28:38,251
You wanna come? You can join us.

539
00:28:38,251 --> 00:28:42,055
Mmm, formaldehyde and focaccia?
No, thanks.

540
00:28:42,055 --> 00:28:45,191
How about--
We could do it tomorrow night.

541
00:28:45,191 --> 00:28:47,227
- Sure.
- [Cox] Yeah?

542
00:28:47,227 --> 00:28:49,496
- [Kellerman] Yeah.
- Good.

543
00:28:50,964 --> 00:28:53,867
- Okay, well, I'm--
I should probably go--
- Right.

544
00:28:55,101 --> 00:28:56,336
Okay.

545
00:28:56,336 --> 00:28:58,238
- Dr. Cox?
- What do you want?

546
00:28:58,238 --> 00:29:02,475
- Detective. Dr. Cox, am I late?
- No, I just was about to begin.

547
00:29:02,475 --> 00:29:06,579
I better go find a seat.
I've been looking forward
to your talk.

548
00:29:06,579 --> 00:29:08,248
[Cox] Wha--

549
00:29:18,291 --> 00:29:19,526
Sorry.

550
00:29:24,597 --> 00:29:26,900
Get out of here!

551
00:29:28,268 --> 00:29:29,903
This is America?

552
00:29:29,903 --> 00:29:32,305
Makes Baltimore look like Paris,
doesn't it?

553
00:29:32,305 --> 00:29:35,508
[Ballard]
I can see why they'd wanna be
on the first bus out of here.

554
00:29:35,508 --> 00:29:40,380
They love it, though. Lot of 'em
never stop going back and forth.

555
00:29:40,380 --> 00:29:42,048
The lure of the hills.

556
00:29:43,550 --> 00:29:45,852
- [Ballard] I gotta tell ya--
- [Gharty] No hillbillies
where you come from?

557
00:29:45,852 --> 00:29:49,356
- Whoa, Nellie!
- [Ballard] Not like this.

558
00:29:51,424 --> 00:29:53,893
Baltimore must've been
a revelation.

559
00:29:53,893 --> 00:29:57,597
Uh, yeah. West Coast ghettos
are deceptively pleasant.

560
00:29:57,597 --> 00:30:02,635
Ugh! You know,
single-family homes. And yards.

561
00:30:02,635 --> 00:30:05,238
You can't see
the harder stuff underneath.

562
00:30:06,306 --> 00:30:08,942
When I first got to Baltimore,
I thought, "Okay.

563
00:30:08,942 --> 00:30:11,544
This is the real thing.
This is not make-believe tough,

564
00:30:11,544 --> 00:30:15,148
this is hardcore tough,
East Coast tough."

565
00:30:15,148 --> 00:30:18,385
You know,
which is what I wanted.
I wanted to test myself.

566
00:30:19,452 --> 00:30:22,022
Someone's living
in that pigeon coop.

567
00:30:22,022 --> 00:30:25,058
It's a shock to see white people
live like this, isn't it?

568
00:30:25,925 --> 00:30:29,062
Yeah, as a matter of fact.

569
00:30:30,063 --> 00:30:33,433
It's, uh-- it's so third-world.

570

[Lewis] Hey. Georgia Rae.

576
00:32:03,356 --> 00:32:06,493
[Georgia Rae] Detective Lewis.
I see you're up to speed.

577
00:32:06,493 --> 00:32:09,629
- I wanna talk to you
about this here document.
- Make an appointment.

578
00:32:09,629 --> 00:32:13,166
Which one of your
genius mouthpieces cooked up
this little scam, huh?

579
00:32:13,166 --> 00:32:18,038
My idea. If you'd like to be
dropped from the suit in
exchange for your testimony

580
00:32:18,038 --> 00:32:20,674
as to what really happened
the day my brother was murdered,

581
00:32:20,674 --> 00:32:23,343
I'm sure Mr. Lansing
would be more than happy
to speak with you.

582
00:32:23,343 --> 00:32:27,080
Sounds good. Let me lay it out
for you right here.

583
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,518
What happened on that day was
that your brother put a gun to
my head and got hisself killed.

584
00:32:31,518 --> 00:32:34,521
- Now drop me from this suit!
- If you're worried about
criminal prosecution,

585
00:32:34,521 --> 00:32:37,757
we can certainly talk immunity
on your behalf with
the State's Attorney's Office.

586
00:32:37,757 --> 00:32:40,026
No doubt.
You got a cop on the pad.

587
00:32:40,026 --> 00:32:42,062
Why not a prosecutor?
Why not a judge?

588
00:32:42,062 --> 00:32:45,732
I'm just a small businesswoman
trying to get the system
to work for me.

Nah.

590
00:32:48,168 --> 00:32:51,538
No, you're a murderer
and a drug dealer.

591
00:32:51,538 --> 00:32:57,310
Now why don't you stick this
where you used to mule crack
and skank for Colombians?

00:32:59,546 --> 00:33:02,215
No, no! No, no, no!

595
00:33:02,215 --> 00:33:04,250
- No, don't!
- [Lewis groans]

596
00:33:07,854 --> 00:33:10,790
[Georgia Rae chuckles]

597
00:33:10,790 --> 00:33:13,460
[Lewis grunts]

598
00:33:13,460 --> 00:33:18,064
[Georgia Rae laughing]

599
00:33:28,842 --> 00:33:31,144
Yeah,
inadmissible in a million years.

600
00:33:31,144 --> 00:33:33,546
We can still send that to
the lab, and if it is involved,

601
00:33:33,546 --> 00:33:36,483
then we will just sit
and wait for Douglas and Rodney

602
00:33:36,483 --> 00:33:39,452
to saunter on back to
the bright lights of Baltimore.

603
00:33:39,452 --> 00:33:42,589
We're gonna spend all our free
weekends for the next two years

604
00:33:42,589 --> 00:33:44,858
chasing those city goats around,
I can feel it.

605
00:33:44,858 --> 00:33:48,728
Well, what can I say?
I do not believe in
collateral casualties.

606
00:33:48,728 --> 00:33:53,500
And besides,
I got sucker-punched,
and I do believe in payback.

607
00:33:53,500 --> 00:33:55,702
This is the way
rumors get started.

608
00:33:55,702 --> 00:33:57,504
We have the right
to remain silent.

609
00:33:57,504 --> 00:34:01,107
Under the circumstances,
that's probably
a real good idea.

610
00:34:01,107 --> 00:34:04,177
[chuckles]
We went to Allegheny County
to interview some suspects.

611
00:34:04,177 --> 00:34:06,346
- [Gharty] Yeah, unofficial.
- Hillbillies, huh?

612
00:34:06,346 --> 00:34:09,249
Genuine third-generation
city goats.

613
00:34:09,249 --> 00:34:11,251
Little out of your jurisdiction,
isn't it?

614
00:34:11,251 --> 00:34:13,319
That's true.
What were you thinking of?

615
00:34:13,319 --> 00:34:15,455
Pretty rough crowd up there.
You're lucky to be alive.

616
00:34:15,455 --> 00:34:17,590
Yeah, well,
we just went to interview them.

617
00:34:17,590 --> 00:34:19,225
If they hadn't run...

618
00:34:19,225 --> 00:34:20,627
[Billie Lou]
What are their names?

619
00:34:20,627 --> 00:34:22,829
- McCord. Why?
- Hmm.

620
00:34:22,829 --> 00:34:24,631
I still got relations up there.

621
00:34:25,465 --> 00:34:27,801
- You?
- It's the same as anywhere.

622
00:34:27,801 --> 00:34:31,838
Works better for some
than others. Some folks get out,
some get left behind.

623
00:34:31,838 --> 00:34:34,407
[chuckles]
Can I buy you a drink?

624
00:34:34,407 --> 00:34:36,242
Thanks. [laughs]

625
00:34:37,310 --> 00:34:41,314
Uh...
Munch says you're a composer.

626
00:34:41,314 --> 00:34:44,651
Pea-tory Conserva-body,
class of '74.

627
00:34:44,651 --> 00:34:48,621
- That's-- that's
Peabody Conservatory.
- Yeah, I got that.

628
00:34:48,621 --> 00:34:50,657
What kind of music do you write?
Bluegrass?

629
00:34:50,657 --> 00:34:52,759
Ow! What?

630
00:34:52,759 --> 00:34:56,563
Not bluegrass.
Atonal minimalism.

631
00:34:56,563 --> 00:34:58,264
What kind of minimalism?

632
00:35:00,533 --> 00:35:02,569
Atonal minimalism.

633
00:35:02,569 --> 00:35:03,903
Oh.

634
00:35:03,903 --> 00:35:08,508
I'm a-- I'm a tonal man myself.

635
00:35:08,508 --> 00:35:11,378
Somehow I just knew
that about you, Stu.

636
00:35:13,213 --> 00:35:15,148
[chuckles]

637
00:35:15,815 --> 00:35:17,484
[hushed] She's crazy about me.

638
00:35:17,484 --> 00:35:20,954
Oh, yeah.
Sure, you're the bee's knees!

639
00:35:20,954 --> 00:35:23,690
You are ridiculous. "Tonal."

640
00:35:23,690 --> 00:35:27,327
What? This-- this is flirting.
This is harmless fantasy.

641
00:35:27,327 --> 00:35:29,696
Well, it's like
Rotisserie baseball.

642
00:35:29,696 --> 00:35:31,731
- Rotisserie baseball?
- Yeah.

643
00:35:31,731 --> 00:35:33,433
You are pathetic.

644
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,436
I am not pathetic.

645
00:35:36,970 --> 00:35:40,507
I am... romantic.

646
00:35:42,509 --> 00:35:43,610
[clinking]

647
00:35:43,610 --> 00:35:46,446
Okay, enough
inconsequential chit-chat.

648
00:35:47,313 --> 00:35:48,615
Let's have
the rest of the story.

649
00:35:48,615 --> 00:35:50,216
Yeah.
Will you quit torturing us?

650
00:35:50,216 --> 00:35:51,418
[Cox] Oh, you love it.

651
00:35:51,418 --> 00:35:53,920
Previously,
in the ME's office...

652
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:55,588
Yes, previously.

653
00:35:56,556 --> 00:36:00,393
Previously,
I determined that our John Doe

654
00:36:00,393 --> 00:36:03,430
might very well have
survived his suicide plunge.

655
00:36:04,330 --> 00:36:05,799
Still didn't know who he was.

656
00:36:05,799 --> 00:36:08,335
We didn't know if the Cochrans
were telling the truth,

657
00:36:08,335 --> 00:36:11,504
but if they were,
who loaded the shotgun and why?

658
00:36:11,504 --> 00:36:15,008
And who, if anyone,
was culpable for his murder?

659
00:36:15,008 --> 00:36:18,511
<i>- If it was a murder.</i>
- So, you know, if the Cochrans
are telling the truth,

660
00:36:18,511 --> 00:36:20,513
it was an accident.
It's not murder.

661
00:36:20,513 --> 00:36:23,983
Reckless disregard for
life and limb at their age?

662
00:36:23,983 --> 00:36:26,586
Probation and
three Hail Marys, max.

663
00:36:27,887 --> 00:36:29,689
Find out who loaded the gun
and why.

664
00:36:29,689 --> 00:36:32,292
You want me to get
the old couple in the Box, Gee,

665
00:36:32,292 --> 00:36:34,327
and sweat 'em
and give 'em the third degree?

666
00:36:34,327 --> 00:36:35,762
Rubber hoses? Truncheons?

667
00:36:35,762 --> 00:36:38,598
- Try talking to them
first, huh, Munch?
- Gotcha.

668
00:36:39,966 --> 00:36:43,770
[Cox] <i>Armed with a warrant,
they went back to
the Cochrans' apartment.</i>

669
00:36:48,708 --> 00:36:50,543
Did you bring me back
my shotgun?

670
00:36:50,543 --> 00:36:53,546
It's evidence. How many times
we got to tell you?

671
00:36:53,546 --> 00:36:55,615
You're not out of the woods yet.

672
00:36:55,615 --> 00:36:58,818
But are you positive
it was my shotgun that
fired the fatal shot?

673
00:36:58,818 --> 00:37:01,654
What? You think there were
other people taking potshots

674
00:37:01,654 --> 00:37:04,357
at that guy when
he jumped off the building?

675
00:37:04,357 --> 00:37:06,426
Trust me, it's the only thing
we're positive of.

676
00:37:06,426 --> 00:37:09,596
- [Munch] What have we here?
- [George] What?

677
00:37:10,764 --> 00:37:12,665
[Munch] Don't tell me
you don't know what these are.

678
00:37:12,665 --> 00:37:15,301
Well, I don't. For all I know,
they could be cannolis.

679
00:37:15,301 --> 00:37:19,506
16-gauge shotgun shells? We're
not gonna find your fingerprints
all over these bad boys, are we?

680
00:37:19,506 --> 00:37:21,541
- No, sir, no way.
- What about you?

681
00:37:21,541 --> 00:37:23,910
Are you crazy?
I wouldn't touch those things.

682
00:37:23,910 --> 00:37:25,712
George Jr. put 'em away for me.

683
00:37:25,712 --> 00:37:28,014
I asked him to get 'em
out of my sight.

684
00:37:28,014 --> 00:37:30,083
- George Jr.?
- [Emily] Uh-huh.

685
00:37:30,083 --> 00:37:33,620
[Cox]
<i>The lab lifted a fingerprint
from the box of shells,</i>

686
00:37:33,620 --> 00:37:36,356
<i>which we had to assume
belonged to the Cochrans' son.</i>

687
00:37:36,356 --> 00:37:40,860
<i>So, Munch brought
Junior's parents in for
a little chat in the Box.</i>

688
00:37:40,860 --> 00:37:43,730
So, when was the last time
you saw George Jr.?

689
00:37:43,730 --> 00:37:46,399
- Uh, Thanksgiving.
- [Kellerman] Where's he live?

690
00:37:46,399 --> 00:37:48,068
We'd like to talk to him,
match his prints.

691
00:37:48,068 --> 00:37:50,470
Well, we're estranged.
Thanks a lot.

692
00:37:50,470 --> 00:37:53,673
- Had a falling out.
- I know what "estranged" means.
Why?

693
00:37:53,673 --> 00:37:57,677
- I cut off his allowance.
- Well, how old is George Jr.?

694
00:37:57,677 --> 00:37:59,079
- 30.
- 29.

695
00:37:59,079 --> 00:38:01,981
- And he was mad about it?
- Oh, he was furious.

696
00:38:01,981 --> 00:38:05,085
He stormed out of our house
and went back to Tulsa, and...

697
00:38:05,085 --> 00:38:07,520
we haven't heard from him since.

698
00:38:08,922 --> 00:38:10,623
[whispering]

699
00:38:10,623 --> 00:38:14,394
- That is so rude!
- Emily! Jeez!

700
00:38:15,495 --> 00:38:19,099
Do you think that before
Junior returned to Tulsa,

701
00:38:19,099 --> 00:38:23,770
he might've lingered long enough
to pop a couple of cannolis
in the old blunderbuss?

702
00:38:23,770 --> 00:38:25,805
Why would he do
a thing like that?

703
00:38:25,805 --> 00:38:28,441
Well,
he knows you play this game.
You terrorize your wife.

704
00:38:28,441 --> 00:38:30,643
- [screaming]
- You pulled the trigger.

705
00:38:30,643 --> 00:38:33,747
Boom! [cackling]

706
00:38:33,747 --> 00:38:36,616
- Laugh like a maniac.
- So Junior loads the gun,

707
00:38:36,616 --> 00:38:37,984
figured you'd
start waving it around,

708
00:38:37,984 --> 00:38:39,753
it goes off, and bye-bye, Mom.

709
00:38:39,753 --> 00:38:42,155
But instead, it misses her
and hits some poor schmo

710
00:38:42,155 --> 00:38:44,024
who just happens to
drop by at that moment.

711
00:38:44,024 --> 00:38:46,593
What he really meant to do
is get back at both of you

712
00:38:46,593 --> 00:38:48,461
- by killing his mother...
- [Emily gasps]

713
00:38:48,461 --> 00:38:50,430
...and framing you
for her murder.

714
00:38:50,430 --> 00:38:52,132
- [Emily] Oh, how horrible!
- No, no, no.

715
00:38:52,132 --> 00:38:54,801
[Cox] <i>Munch and Kellerman
then laid it out for Giardello,</i>

716
00:38:54,801 --> 00:38:57,637
<i>who saw a few flaws
in their theory.</i>

717
00:38:57,637 --> 00:38:59,806
Did you find Junior's prints
on the shotgun?

718
00:38:59,806 --> 00:39:01,107
No, just the father's.

719
00:39:01,107 --> 00:39:02,642
[Giardello]
Have you found Junior?

720
00:39:02,642 --> 00:39:05,412
We made inquiries
in the Tulsa area,

721
00:39:05,412 --> 00:39:07,147
but, uh, nothing so far.

722
00:39:07,147 --> 00:39:10,617
Kellerman, his prints--
if they are his prints--

723
00:39:10,617 --> 00:39:12,719
on the box of shells
means nothing.

724
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,622
Now, is he or is he not
a viable suspect?

725
00:39:15,622 --> 00:39:17,657
It depends on how you define
"viable suspect."

726
00:39:17,657 --> 00:39:21,861
He had motive.
You know, Mommy and Daddy
cut off his allowance.

727
00:39:21,861 --> 00:39:24,497
- Have we even
identified the victim?
- John Doe jumper? Not yet.

728
00:39:24,497 --> 00:39:27,801
That's priority. He's gotta
have a family somewhere.

729
00:39:27,801 --> 00:39:29,903
Yeah, Missing Persons
is trying to make a match.

730
00:39:29,903 --> 00:39:32,605
- No one's come forward?
- They may not know.
The condition of the body

731
00:39:32,605 --> 00:39:34,574
precluded our putting
his picture in the paper.

732
00:39:35,175 --> 00:39:37,577
Look, identify the jumper.

733
00:39:37,577 --> 00:39:40,080
Get George--
What are you laughing at?

734
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,782
Find George and talk to him!

735
00:39:43,783 --> 00:39:46,786
Get Cox to make
a determination whether
it's homicide or suicide.

736
00:39:46,786 --> 00:39:51,057
Now, charge the parents
or leave 'em alone!
Close the damn case!

737
00:39:51,057 --> 00:39:53,526
- Well, did you?
- Did I what?

738
00:39:53,526 --> 00:39:55,528
- Find the son?
- [ME 1] Identify the jumper?

739
00:39:55,528 --> 00:39:58,098
Make a determination,
suicide or homicide?

740
00:39:58,098 --> 00:40:01,534
- Close the case?
- Okay, okay, okay!
I'll level with you.

741
00:40:01,534 --> 00:40:04,604
I finally broke the case
when I ID'd the victim.

742
00:40:04,604 --> 00:40:07,941
- How'd you do that?
- Old-fashioned way.
Fingerprints.

743
00:40:07,941 --> 00:40:11,711
- [ME 2] Fingerprints?
- Fingerprinting John Doe
is standard procedure.

744
00:40:11,711 --> 00:40:14,948
Yes, I know that,
which of course I did,
but unfortunately,

745
00:40:14,948 --> 00:40:18,118
our John Doe had never been
printed while he was alive,

746
00:40:18,118 --> 00:40:19,886
therefore I couldn't match it.

747
00:40:19,886 --> 00:40:23,156
<i>So, one evening
I'm standing out on the pier.</i>

748
00:40:23,156 --> 00:40:27,093
<i>I'm looking at
the reflection of the clouds
and the moon in the water,</i>

749
00:40:27,093 --> 00:40:30,497
<i>and all of a sudden, it hits me,
and I get this epiphany.</i>

750
00:40:30,497 --> 00:40:32,699
<i>Reflection. Mirrored images.</i>

751
00:40:32,699 --> 00:40:36,736
<i>I race back to the lab,
and I compare my set of prints</i>

752
00:40:36,736 --> 00:40:42,108
<i>to the prints that
Munch and Kellerman lifted off
of that box of shotgun shells.</i>

753
00:40:42,108 --> 00:40:44,110
- Bingo!
- Bingo what?

754
00:40:44,110 --> 00:40:46,846
- I don't get it.
- They matched.

755
00:40:47,681 --> 00:40:50,250
The dead man in my morgue,

756
00:40:50,250 --> 00:40:52,485
John Doe jumper...

757
00:40:53,620 --> 00:40:55,822
was George Cochran Jr.

758
00:40:55,822 --> 00:41:00,026
The guy who jumped from
the roof to commit suicide,

759
00:41:00,026 --> 00:41:04,564
but was hit and killed
by a shotgun blast
on his way down...

760
00:41:04,564 --> 00:41:07,934
Was the son of the man
who fired the shot?

761
00:41:07,934 --> 00:41:09,035
One and the same.

762
00:41:10,170 --> 00:41:12,672
Angry at his mother for
cutting him off financially

763
00:41:12,672 --> 00:41:16,676
and despondent over
his father's unexpected failure
to threaten his mother,

764
00:41:16,676 --> 00:41:20,547
thereby triggering George Jr.'s
elaborate revenge scheme...

765
00:41:20,547 --> 00:41:24,684
The Cochrans were getting
along better after Thanksgiving,
thanks to couples counseling.

766
00:41:24,684 --> 00:41:26,286
Junior decides
to commit suicide.

767
00:41:26,286 --> 00:41:27,921
Ironically,
he picks the very night

768
00:41:27,921 --> 00:41:30,623
that his mother burns the
pot roast to a smoking cinder,

769
00:41:30,623 --> 00:41:32,892
sending his father
into a paroxysm of rage.

770
00:41:32,892 --> 00:41:35,295
Damn it,
I told you what would happen
if you burned anything else.

771
00:41:35,295 --> 00:41:37,764
- [Munch] <i>Cochran
gets the shotgun...</i>
- [Emily screaming]

772
00:41:37,764 --> 00:41:38,898
<i>- ...and fires.</i>
- Boom!

773
00:41:38,898 --> 00:41:40,633
[Kellerman] <i>Just as George Jr.</i>

774
00:41:40,633 --> 00:41:42,302
<i>is passing by their window,
so to speak.</i>

775
00:41:42,302 --> 00:41:44,804
[Giardello] <i>Why did Junior
come all the way back from Tulsa</i>

776
00:41:44,804 --> 00:41:46,306
<i>to jump off
his parents' rooftop?</i>

777
00:41:46,306 --> 00:41:47,974
He wanted to throw it
in their faces.

778
00:41:47,974 --> 00:41:50,043
Figured they'd be the ones
to identify the body.

779
00:41:50,043 --> 00:41:52,045
Unfortunately for him,
he drastically underestimated

780
00:41:52,045 --> 00:41:54,714
his parents' total lack of
interest in the outside world.

781
00:41:54,714 --> 00:41:58,785
[Cox] <i>Yeah, they had no idea
that the jumper was their son
until we told them.</i>

782
00:41:58,785 --> 00:42:01,354
<i>They finally cam down to the
morgue and made a positive ID.</i>

783
00:42:01,354 --> 00:42:04,724
Oh, no, no! Oh, George!

784
00:42:04,724 --> 00:42:09,629
Oh, no, no!
Don't take him away!
My son, oh, God! Oh, no!

785
00:42:09,629 --> 00:42:13,166
[Cox]
<i>John Doe jumper was George Jr.</i>

786
00:42:13,166 --> 00:42:14,868
<i>No doubt about it.</i>

787
00:42:18,204 --> 00:42:20,940
<i>Suicide. Avec torque.</i>

788
00:42:20,940 --> 00:42:22,609
What's torque?

789
00:42:23,209 --> 00:42:24,878
With a twist.

790
00:42:25,879 --> 00:42:29,115
And the rest,
as they say, is mythic.

791
00:42:30,250 --> 00:42:33,053
This time,
you can pick up the check.

792
00:42:45,265 --> 00:42:49,035
- [Giardello] What the hell
were you doing?
- She assaulted me, Gee!

793
00:42:49,035 --> 00:42:53,139
Georgia Rae's attorneys were
on the phone with Barnfather,

794
00:42:53,139 --> 00:42:55,842
the mayor's office,

795
00:42:55,842 --> 00:42:58,812
before you could scrape
yourself off the bank floor.

796
00:42:58,812 --> 00:43:02,716
Harassment. Intimidation.
Not to mention assault.

797
00:43:02,716 --> 00:43:04,651
Wha-- what are we
supposed to do, Gee?

798
00:43:04,651 --> 00:43:06,786
Just lie down and let this woman

799
00:43:06,786 --> 00:43:09,022
manipulate us
without fightin' back?

800
00:43:09,022 --> 00:43:11,124
Uh-uh. Nah, nah.

801
00:43:11,124 --> 00:43:14,127
I wanted to send her a message.
No free ride.

802
00:43:14,127 --> 00:43:17,263
She gonna be in my face,
I'ma be in her face.
Every step of the way.

803
00:43:17,263 --> 00:43:21,768
Meldrick,
in her face is one thing,
breaking it is another.

804
00:43:26,039 --> 00:43:27,440
You're suspended.

805
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,376
Indefinitely.

806
00:43:29,376 --> 00:43:31,111
Barnfather's orders.

807
00:43:34,414 --> 00:43:36,783
- Well, talk him out of it.
- No.

808
00:43:37,784 --> 00:43:39,786
For once, I agree with him.

809
00:43:43,289 --> 00:43:44,891
You agree with him?

810
00:43:55,935 --> 00:43:56,970
Fine.

811
00:44:13,987 --> 00:44:15,755
Where you going, Meldrick?

812
00:44:17,323 --> 00:44:19,025
Get some cigarettes.

813
00:44:20,427 --> 00:44:21,895
But you don't smoke.

814
00:44:26,366 --> 00:44:28,068
[Lewis sighs]

815
00:44:54,094 --> 00:45:00,767
