Yo.

Huh?

What time is it?

Oh, I'm sorry.

All right, I'm on my way.

I overslept.

Hey!

Hey!

Police officers, stay down!

It grew with me.

Nice start to the day.

Yeah, business is picking up and... See anything?

A big close-up at a sidewalk.

How many shots?

One big one.

What do we know about the stiff?

Thea Barrett, age 38, married two children.

Should we go and talk to the wife?

Should I say the video?

Yeah.

Like the wash up, change my shirt first.

Instantaneous, fam.

No, babe.

No.

Didn't feel a thing.

You were there.

Right next to him.

As close as I am to you.

Why?

Why?

Why was it him?

And not you.

No.

That's what we intend to find out.

Thursday.

It was our anniversary.

Thea brought me a negligible.

It was only two sizes, two small.

12 years married.

Two children.

You still think I'm the same size?

Did he have any enemies?

I don't think so.

You'll be able to shoot him.

Kill him.

It's time to see.

I don't know of anyone.

Did he have any phone calls or letters that upset him?

Business problems.

Money problems.

Do you see those?

He picked them before he took the girls to play school.

Bullet dug out of the wall and the discharge

shell found on the rooftop both the same.

7.62mm.

Parker hailed.

Full metal case.

Copper jacketed bullets.

Soft nose.

Right twist.

We had about 191.6 grams.

Telescopic sight.

That might have been.

It's still a hell of a shot, too.

But no messages, no calls.

Why the hell should that be?

Tennessee thinks it's a nut.

Oh, you don't think it's some fruitcake?

Come on.

Why else would some nice, normal 38-year-old guy get iced?

Nuts.

Dempsey, hang about.

This is not Dallas.

This is Dallow London.

Remember?

We don't have many snipers here.

A tower, a queen, and some warm beer.

But not many snipers.

Nuts.

Get on your computer and get pedaled.

Who's this?

Hang on.

Dempsey?

What?

For you.

Me.

Yo, Dempsey.

Should have been you, Dempsey.

Should have been you with the bullet in the head.

Uh, could you speak up?

You.

This was my name.

At the bus stop.

What about it?

Sure.

Did I say fruitcake?

And the rest of it.

You recognize the voice?

Yeah, it was my mother.

Of course not.

Some cooke got my number out of a phone book.

What the hell are you looking at?

I never heard that voice before.

Hey, you're not in the phone book.

B.

Neither is SI10.

We took the advert out of the yellow pages.

Look, just because it's a woman's voice on

the phone doesn't mean she did the shooting.

There could be two of them or more.

It might be.

All the wife of someone we've put away.

That's worth checking.

Some guy got eyes because of me.

Get a real sick feeling.

What are you

thinking, Harry?

It's this plate glass borrowed in mine.

You may find this hard to believe, but I'm

actually on good terms of all my ex-girlfriends.

All of them?

Yep.

Or if I wasn't, it wouldn't be my head they'd be trying to blow off.

What about the ones that never made his girlfriend?

Ships in the night.

There's just too many evil germs around these days for that game anymore.

Chances are it's someone you know, isn't it?

There is one.

No.

No.

Good.

Come on.

Well, there's only one broad I know that can shoot like that and might have cause.

What's our name then?

What?

What's that?

Delivered about an hour ago.

By who?

A boy from the florists.

Haven't seen such lilies since Missy's found.

He died.

Don't want any copies cleaned here?

No.

Thanks, Mr. Foley.

Don't forget your groceries.

Yeah.

Somebody here?

Oh, Mr. Foley.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Dempsey!

You seen a cop with a bartender's detention?

Yeah, it's down here.

Damn.

Push the button, I'll send it back up.

Oh, thanks.

Hello.

Hi.

Dempsey?

Listen, you just try to call me.

No.

Must have been one of your other girls.

Oh, you're my only girl, you know that.

Listen, how about a movie night?

I've got the decorators coming tomorrow.

I'm busy moving everything.

Sorry.

That's okay.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Right.

I mean, there's a dirty spark plug going to do that.

So I think maybe I'm going to put something else.

Check out the whole thing.

I want to know if this thing's been messed up.

If anything's been done, I want to know about it.

Morning.

Sleep okay?

I never sleep okay.

I'll call you a little bit.

No man is an island.

Poetry.

Poetry.

I don't follow.

I have to throw the girl's voice on the phone yesterday.

I still don't follow.

Wow.

Single man in London.

Long way from home.

Lots of pressure.

Lots of temptations.

We're all human.

We are.

We all react in different ways.

Do it.

With me, it was fish.

Fish?

Mm-hmm.

Trout.

Had a two-piece fiberglass rod.

Whiskey bait.

Great way of working off your frustrations.

Hangovers.

It's sifting through a problem.

I'll try it sometime.

You still remember a paid-up member of the Piscatorial Society here?

So, er...

So, if, erm...

Has anything, erm...

Has anything you want to get off your chest?

Feel free.

It's occurred to me that, er...

This could be a contract out of New York.

No, no, no.

I cabled New York about your own little problem.

Nothing known at all.

Well, if that's true, then you can rest assured.

Yes?

If I can tie that broad voice up to anybody that I know or have known.

You'll be the second person to know.

Who'll be the first?

Oh, she will.

Yo!

Hey, come on.

Cut the flibits.

One question was the engine tampered with or not.

Could have been.

Maybe.

Hey, thanks a lot.

You know, you're a real wonder.

Alright.

Alright.

Did you do anything with the clock?

Oh, she'll hear somebody that writes.

My aunt just got into town.

Never been here before wants me to have dinner with her.

Came to love you to death, isn't she?

It's Spartan, isn't it?

Yes?

Looks as if you're only passing through.

Yeah, well, hopefully I am.

You ever eat up Scott Fitzgerald?

Yes.

It was all that Fitzgerald used to say.

She was never happy in a room that didn't have an open suitcase in it.

She went nutty.

Said something about you.

I didn't realize you had all this equipment.

Coffee?

Are you going to a funeral?

It could be my own.

No, they're phone.

What do you think?

Tracable?

Ordered by phone.

Money goed by taxi, sugar.

No, thanks.

Nothing on the gun, either.

Hm.

Your crisps aren't crisp.

My crisps are chips.

No.

A woman in love.

Oh, who thinks she's in love.

You know what they say.

Hell hath no fury.

Yeah, but I ain't scorn nobody.

Knowingly.

How did she get that photo?

You tell me.

She took it.

Well, how'd it take her?

Without you realizing.

It's how a photo lends.

Jilted girlfriend.

Ex-lover.

No, I know.

You don't believe it because you don't want to believe it.

I don't believe it because it's not true.

You'd like me to start reeling off names and addresses, wouldn't you?

Of course not.

I just think it might help.

Contrary to what you may believe, I am not the Romeo of the NYPD.

Though I could tell you a few stories will occur to your hair.

I've always wanted curly hair.

Well, let's stick your finger in a wall socket because you ain't getting it from me.

The solution, whatever it is, wherever it is, lies with you.

Tast to.

Phone.

Mm.

Aren't you going to answer it?

No.

Why not?

Because there's nobody on it.

Hello?

See for yourself.

It's for you.

Dempsey.

Yeah.

This is records.

Yeah.

We've traced that photograph.

That's green.

I'm on my way.

Picture is the picture.

Police.

I don't believe a word of it.

Sergeant, make peace.

Lieutenant Dempsey.

From the local factory?

Yes, I can.

That's all you need to know.

I'll try hard, but I don't think I'm going to like you.

Private dick, right?

Ever seen this before?

Maybe.

No, that's the wrong game.

The game is yes or no.

You've seen this picture, right?

You burst in here.

I'll have him my lunch.

You don't even knock on my door.

Now you want to follow your lunch?

Is he threatening me?

Are you threatening him?

Yes, I am.

Yes, he is.

Right.

I want my lawyer.

If you're looking for trouble, Ripley, I'll help you find it.

No, he can't say fairer than that, can he?

You hit me.

I've got a witness.

Close your eyes.

Now, wait a minute.

The police are living on being harassed here.

Last time around.

Have you seen this picture?

Right?

Right!

Yes!

Spying and photographing an officer in a pursuit of his duties.

What's the sense for that?

I didn't know you were a cop!

You believe it?

Who did you take the picture for?

Ah, well, now that's cop, but then you'll see it.

It was a bird.

A bird.

Name!

I didn't know her name.

It was all done on the telephone.

It was a one-off.

They sent me to cash.

I put them in a packet and sent them to a general delivery address.

Them?

Yeah, well, that wasn't the only one.

How many?

The scores are from... 50.

Or...

50.

Ah,

Mr. Foley.

Yeah.

You see, you're famous already.

I am.

But Jim's told me all about you.

Oh, that's nice.

Yes?

His jacket's come back from the cleaners.

Oh, it's his black jacket.

That's my favorite.

Did they do a good job?

I didn't look.

He always says clean and retext yourself.

I'll just hang this up for him.

Thank you very much.

They should.

How's he taking it?

Fine.

Outwardly.

And inside?

Hard to tell.

He plays it close.

A couple who's never scared is a bad cop.

You question him about his love life.

He says there's no one.

You believe that?

Well, he's in a difficult position.

Aren't we all?

Hey, Joseph.

You got it today?

All right.

Thanks.

Hey, Catholic.

Fine.

How about you?

Oh, you know, it is.

Life is hot.

And then you die.

I got to work late tonight.

You know, one of the girls has got flu.

Yeah?

I'm off at eight.

Uh-huh.

I got somebody joining me.

Why?

You coming apart?

What will ever come back?

You go a long way.

And meanwhile, how about a beer?

I thought you never asked.

The usual?

I'm still here.

I'm gone.

This is my job.

Take real good care of me.

Give me your New York Times.

Give me the best burger in town.

My favorite beer.

I never have to wait for a table.

You have to get home sick.

You have to get home sick, muscle man.

What do you have to leave home to get home sick?

That's true.

You want some knee?

Uh-uh.

Not before a workout.

Shall we go?

I'm waiting for a beer.

I'm waiting for a beer?

Thanks.

Oh, this is Kathy.

You know, an American.

Harry, Harry, Kathy.

Hi.

Hi.

God, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

You try and get a bigger tip or something?

No, this, uh, comes with a service.

Try and keep your back straight.

Don't notch.

Yeah, that's good.

Now, bring that in front.

Alternate front and back.

Yeah, that's good.

See, that way you work the complimentary muscle.

I think I can do it with some more weight.

That's better.

Okay.

You know, we can make this a regular thing.

We can make times a week.

Well, I think once is quite a month of me.

Thank you.

Dad, try and join me in two minutes a week.

Why join me here?

You can join me.

That's my instruction.

I'm not worried about it.

You're here?

Yo.

So, how do I use this one?

What do you do on little pads?

Let your legs slow.

Don't like your knees.

I've got a release.

Count it for you.

It works such a piece, you see.

What do you do?

Hello?

Who are we talking about?

Come on.

Harry gets wasted because somewhere you don't try to blow my brains away.

How are you going to feel about that?

Look, anybody should be taking off this case.

It's you.

The boo-boo-boo-diggas.

I am the case.

He was a target.

Oh, come on.

Something's trying to blow my brains out and you want to get in on it.

Cut it out.

Both of you.

He's got a point, Harry.

You devious bastard.

Love it when you talk to me that way.

Who's that?

It's her.

Get a trace on his core.

Hello.

Speaking.

You got your black jacket out.

Really good.

How are you anyway?

Not as sick as you are.

You got a real weird sense of humor.

Why are you doing this to me?

God of love.

You got a real odd way of showing it.

What's your name?

Who needs names?

Meat.

Listen, why don't we meet?

Would you like that, Jim?

Yeah.

Yeah, but I mean, you know, person to person.

You know, that way we could look at each other.

What do you say?

You'll have to get rid of her.

Oh.

Harry, you can't have both of us, Jim.

Harry's nothing.

I mean, she's my chauffeur.

She knows the streets, drives me around.

If she doesn't leave you alone, I'll kill her.

I thought you were going to kill me.

I am.

Are you going to kill both of us, huh?

Well, it's a lot of killing.

Well, time to go.

No, no, no.

Don't go.

I'm enjoying this conversation.

Come on here.

We got a chance to talk now.

I'm not busy, you know.

When... Perhaps some more is that you can trace the number.

I'm not there, stupid Jim.

Lots of love.

I'll be.

No, no, no.

Come on, now.

Damn.

Long enough?

Not a chance.

Let you know what I was wearing.

That she must have seen you.

This is really weird.

It's almost as if I know who she is.

Obviously, my being around rubbed salt in the wound.

What did I tell you?

So, obviously, I'm going to have to stay with it.

How do you make that bright deduction, eh?

Put her out of her stride.

She'll be so busy thinking about me that you'll trip out and make a mistake.

No, yes.

She's got a point.

We leave things as they are at present.

Come on.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Kids used to write this thing a lot in the old

days, but they have the money now for that one.

That's true.

What's that, Jim?

The same

old indigestion, honey.

Mr. Foley.

Yeah.

My black jacket came back from the cleaners.

Yeah.

When?

Tuesday.

You sure?

Sure.

It was all right, wasn't it?

No, it was fine.

It was fine.

I just needed to know when.

Thank you very much.

Good night.

All right, Mr. D, I gave it to the young lady.

Young lady.

Hey.

There was a young lady in my apartment.

Here.

She let me in.

Well, she opened the door.

Can you describe her?

She didn't have any clothes on me.

You mean she was in the buff?

I couldn't say whether she was in the bath or not.

No, no, buff, naked.

She had your robe on.

You mean, you weren't there.

Not only was I not there, I didn't know if she was.

Can I go to the toilet?

What's going on?

Bugs.

What kind of bugs?

Only chronic ones.

Excuse me.

He's, uh...

He's in the bathroom.

Loud and clear.

What's going on?

Ladies and gentlemen.

In here?

Here.

There.

She's in the doorway.

She bugged the place.

So that's how she knows so much about you.

These are prints?

Could be.

It's a woman's hand.

Well, she'd been in here, prowling around, wearing my robe.

I thought I smelled perfume the other day.

She even answered the door.

It's almost as if she wants to be caught.

Why don't we give her a hand?

Dempsey.

Yo.

Dabs from your place last night.

Any luck?

Luck doesn't come into it.

How about some success then?

Oh, yes.

She's on the file.

What's her name?

Catherine.

Warren.

Ever.

Any eales?

No.

Used to work for MI5 though.

Explain some of her expertise.

Yeah.

Apparently she went a little bit, uh... you know.

Here.

Thanks.

You're too keen.

We're not open yet.

I know that.

I'm looking for Cathy.

She's important.

She's gone.

Quickly.

When?

Yesterday morning.

Suddenly collected her cards and went.

You got her home address?

Boss, mate.

He's away.

It's a bit sudden, isn't it?

They're leaving like that.

Out of the blue.

She didn't mention it?

No.

Why do you think she might have?

Well, I knew you were close.

Especially after a birthday.

A birthday?

You know.

Remind me.

Well, she never stopped talking about it.

She brought the roses in here, you know.

Kept them on the bar.

She told you I bought her roses.

Yes.

You got a real lulu here, Harry.

Did you take her out that night?

Yeah.

Took her for one drink.

Well.

It was a cocktail bar, two blocks from here.

How long did that last?

Ten minutes, Max.

If that's so, then how come the pianist was playing her favorite tune as she walked in?

You saying you didn't fix that?

You ever been there?

On my wages?

There is no pianist.

I think I feel sick.

Excuse me.

I just had a thought.

What if she can see you as well as you?

Anything?

Well, there's a woman watering her window box.

A wife playing the violin.

A naked man working out with waste.

Where?

Watson said there'd be a bleep when she turns on a receiver.

What if she doesn't?

I guess you and I are going to sit here and go all together.

Very lucky it interfered with your teddy.

It wasn't luck.

Faulty wiring inside that bug.

Sure, I, uh...

I ran around a lot, but that was before I met you because, uh...

Well, I didn't know you.

Uh... But I've changed.

I mean...

With you... It's different.

I wonder how many times you've said that before.

Now, what I feel about you, Harry, is...

I didn't realize.

Although... Why should you, uh... We spend every waking moment together.

It's a wonder that we're not bored to tears.

I'd like that.

No, me.

You sure?

I don't want to have the words in your mouth.

First, I thought that...

This was just an affair, but...

What do you say?

You think you can love me?

I don't mean now.

Love's not a word that I use, either.

Me neither.

Although, I wake up every morning.

And my first thought is to you.

It's the same for me, I...

I sit there in the kitchen in the morning with my tea and toast.

And in a funny sort of way.

I am true.

I want to hold you here.

I want to...

Feel your hair and my hands go into my fingers.

And I want to kiss you that, sir.

And neck.

Come here, Chloe.

I want to rip your clothes off.

Kiss every inch of your body.

Well, why don't you?

Back to the flash.

Fourth, fourth, quarter, flash.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Cathy.

Come down with me.

Let me take you down.

You kissed me.

It was your birthday kiss.

You talked to me.

You called me... You brought me roses.

Why did you do it?

I didn't buy you roses.

You want roses, I'll buy you roses.

You even had that man play the piano for me.

There wasn't any piano.

Why did you do it?

Do what?

Do what?

All those... things...

is sad.

What things?

To her.

I can't hold it.

Hold on to me.

Hold my hand.

Hello?

Hello?

It's for you.

Who is it?

Thelma.

Thelma.

Thelma?

That you?

When did you get in town?
