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"

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]

And please dance with me.
