Original subtitles

-[Narrator] Previously on New York undercover.

-I don't want to be like one of those people

with their bones sticking out.

I don't want that to be the last thing you remember me by.

-What makes you think

that it is okay for you to run in those streets?

-[Woman] You have to explore dealing with

Gregory's behavior.

My recommendation

is family therapy for six sessions.

-Your father's in the hospital.

- We couldn't resuscitate him.

The guy still had the needle in his arm.

- Why did you do this?

Why did you do this?

[Theme music]

- Morning, detectives.

-Another day off for wong.

What do we got, Joe?

-Drink didn't agree with him.

I'd say poison,

but I won't know until I get back at the lab.

That's his wife over there.

-Thanks, man.

Mrs. Groom,

I'm detective Williams.

This is my partner, detective torres.

-How do you do?

- We're sorry about your loss. - Thank you.

-We'll need to take the body down for examination.

-I understand.

I found him here this morning.

-Do you have any idea what happened?

-You mean, did he poison himself?

I don't know.

I guess it's possible.

-Do you know of anyone

who would have wanted to hurt him?

-No. But then, there was a lot I didn't know.

-You said you found him here this morning.

Weren't you here last night?

-We had a fight.

I threw my ring at him

and checked into a hotel.

- Fought about what? - The usual.

He'd been having an affair.

I thought it was over.

-And then you found out it wasn't.

-I discovered

that it had been with a man,

and Adrian had just learned that he had full-blown aids.

-[McNamara] Out of the way! Police! Hey!

-Why the hell you sweatin' me, man?

I don't even know you.

-Yeah, well, then, why you running?

What do you got here, sunshine?

What's this?

-No, c'mon, I need that.

-Not until you tell me what I need to know.

Five years ago, a cop named McNamara was killed.

Witness reports said you saw it.

-No, I didn't see nothing.

-You want to go downtown and talk about it?

-I can't talk about it, man.

-I lock you up without this stuff

you'll get real sick, you know that.

-This ain't fair. I had a deal.

-Deal? What kind of deal?

-I signed a piece of paper

and my possession beef goes away.

-What about the murder?

-I wasn't even there.

-Who gave you the deal?

-A cop.

- Don't you lie to me! - I'm not lying.

It was a detective in a suit.

An Irish guy.

I'm not lying.

-[O'byrne] The higher the conviction ratio

the less pressure on the brass.

Everybody's checking efficiency.

-Everybody's covering their asses, Arthur.

What are you going to do check our pencils

and paper clips next?

-Yeah, probably next week.

-It's a long way from the street, isn't it?

-The streets are way too dangerous these days.

-Yeah, I miss that sometimes.

-[Moreno] Hey, you don't want to sign?

Fine. Sit down.

-Okay, okay, I'll sign.

Just take off the cuffs.

-Hey!

- [Thud] - [Grunts]

-Get up.

Sorry about that, captain.

-It's okay.

It's always nice to keep your hand in

so to speak.

-Can you get some ice for the captain, please?

-Thank you, lieutenant.

-No. Thank you.

-[Williams÷} The Vic's name was Adrian groom.

O.d.'d off of oxycodone, the pain killer.

-Prescription?

-Didn't find one.

But he took enough of that stuff

to kill five people.

He had enough bourbon

to keep him drunk for a week.

-Anything else?

-Matchbook from a bar

and a clinic appointment card.

-[Torres] Guy found out he had aids.

Wife left him.

Probably took the easy way out and tried to off himself.

-The thing is, we didn't find the bottle on him

or in his crib.

-So he tossed it before he got home.

-What kind of sense does that make?

-The guy was dying. It don't make sense.

-Look, j.C., give us a minute, please.

-No problem.

-This might not be the case for you, Eddie.

-Well maybe there isn't a case.

-Well maybe there isn't,

but until we know for sure, we proceed.

-Your call.

-What happened with your father

must still be pretty raw for you.

We have another case you could work on.

It's no problem.

-You don't have to do that.

-I know I don't have to do that, but...

-look, I appreciate the offer, all right?

But drugs and suicide are part of the job.

-You sure?

Then let's take a look at groom's wife.

She sounds like one angry woman.

-[Torres] I know this must be hard, but...

-There's no need to apologize, detective.

I was surprised you didn't haul me in this morning.

-Why is that?

-Motive... opportunity.

-Did you poison your husband?

-[Chuckles] That was one scenario.

I also shot him, castrated him,

and electrocuted him in the bathtub.

Lying awake in that hotel room

I did a lot of things to him.

Didn't get much sleep, either.

-Why did you come home this morning?

-Get some clothes.

Talk to him maybe.

-Do you have receipts for last night, witnesses?

I was at the regent hotel.

Room service dinner, two cable movies.

Phone call to my sister in poughkeepsie.

I guess I still could have sneaked out and done it though.

-Do you have any idea who might have wanted your husband dead?

-How the hell should I know?

He led a secret life.

And now I've got to sit around

and wait for the results of my aids test.

That's what else I did this morning.

I mean, can you imagine?

Do you have any idea

what kind of time bomb I'm sitting on?

-I've been treating Adrian groom

for six months.

He was a good man. Had a lot to offer.

-Anything to indicate suicide?

-He certainly wasn't a bubbly personality.

He took the news hard, but everyone does.

-So you're saying...

-I'm saying I'm not a mind reader, detective.

With enough stress

anybody's capable of anything.

-Let me ask you something.

In your professional opinion

do you think that this was a little premature

for an aids patient?

-Absolutely.

He was still strong.

With the new drugs, there's much more hope

if you're a hopeful person.

-What about murder?

Do you think anybody wanted to hurt him or kill him?

-No one I know.

Look, he was a nice guy.

But I imagine his wife wasn't very happy.

And there may have been other lovers.

-Well, we'll find out.

Thanks for your time, doc.

-Yeah.

-So when do you start family therapy?

-Mañana.

Trust me, not by my choice.

-You know you gotta go there with a positive attitude, man.

-I got a positive attitude, man. It's just g I'm worried about.

I tell you, I'll be there for mine. Not like my pops.

-I wonder what it would be like

if me and my father went there, you know.

Would it have changed anything.

-I don't know.

After you, ma'am.

-Don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful, baby.

-[Man] I can't believe Adrian's dead.

-[Williams] How long did you know him, Mr. Belaflores?

-Is that a trick question?

-[Williams] Excuse me?

-Look, let's not beat around the bush, detective.

You want to know if Adrian and I were lovers.

-Well, actually we found this matchbook in his coat.

But now that you mention it, yeah.

-Well, the answer is yes.

Me and him were lovers.

-But not lately?

-No. He broke it off six months ago.

-So tell me, he have any enemies?

Anybody who wanted to kill him?

-Not that I know of.

-What about suicide?

-Not a chance.

-[Williams] You sound awfully sure.

-I am awfully sure.

Adrian was afraid of death

and dying alone was the thing that he feared most.

He would have never done that to himself.

-How the hell would he know

what the guy would do, you know?

-Well, he did say they were close, right?

-I was close with my pops

and I didn't know.

-[Williams] So you're telling me

that we have duplicate deaths here?

-[Moreno] The computer seems to think so.

I ran groom's file and got this back.

1-5 hasn't ruled out the homicide angle.

-Charles Anderson, male, 32, full-blown aids.

Oxycodone o.D.

-And he and groom were both regulars

at the same aids clinic.

-That's funny.

Dr. Berger never mentioned him.

-Anything else in the file?

-Just that Henderson had a depressive personality.

-Okay, so we got

two deaths at the same clinic.

That could be a coincidence.

-Yeah, or it could be a serial killer.

We need to check out everyone there.

-Where are you going?

-I got to talk to Cooper.

[Slow tempo bass beat]

-[Man] My old man returned another

unopened letter yesterday.

"Return to sender" on the envelope.

He calls me a closet queen.

He doesn't believe I got this way

by having unprotected sex

with every lady I could score with.

I'm going to write that old bastard twice tomorrow.

-All right, judd.

Infect everybody with that positive attitude.

And now, let's greet our new member, shall we?

Please tell us your name and why you're here.

Don't be shy.

-My name is Ricky lugo.

I'm a junkie.

I'm here because I'm dying of aids.

At the edge of the barrel,

you know, ready to cap myself.

-We try to go easy on the negativity here.

-It's okay, judd.

-I thought we were supposed to be able

to express our feelings.

-Absolutely. That's what this is about.

-You know, there's no need to drag everybody down.

-Oh, you want me to lie? Tell you how thrilled I am

to be able to die like this?

Are you? - You know, I'm trying to fight.

-And you're gonna lose.

Just like everybody here, you're going to die!

-This is not what this place is about!

If he wants to give up,

let him do it someplace else.

-Fine with me. I didn't ask to be here.

-[Woman] Listen, Ricky, everybody here

is trying to find a way

to live with this.

-If you got enough heart to walk in here

then you should have enough to fight.

Now, if you're not strong enough to do that

you dead already.

-You know what, the power of positive thinking

never cured anybody.

-Neither did whining like a bitch.

-Hey! Chill out, guys!

- Come on! Come on! - Hey! Easy!

Hey, you guys take it easy!

It's okay.

-[Woman 2] Let's start by answering

a simple question:

What do you hope to accomplish here?

Chantal?

-Well, I guess I'm interested

in what's going on between g and his father,

you know, because...

-Because, when he was living with you

he never went through this, right?

- Oh, I didn't say that. - Yeah, but you were about to.

- You don't agree, Mr. Williams? - Absolutely not.

Now, I know that

I might have something to do

with the way my son has been acting.

I know it's not everything.

-J.c., nobody is blaming you.

-Well I hope not.

Because you, my man, look at me.

You are the one that has been ditching school

running around the streets with these clowns,

disrespecting everybody.

- Sounds frustrating. - It is.

You know, I've always had his respect.

Now, for some reason

I don't have it now, and I don't know why.

-Gregory?

-Well, I have a mind of my own, and I can think for myself.

He's treating me like a kid.

-I treat you like my son, okay? Not my equal.

-I'm almost a man, dad.

- "Almost a man."

Well, you are not a man, okay?

You don't know what that means yet.

-Oh, and you do, huh?

-You see what I mean?

-Come on, dad.

You threw me into a door.

Is that being a man?

[Siren blaring]

-When Dr. Koslow referred you

he didn't say you were a troublemaker.

-Yeah, well, dawes got in my face, that's all.

-He works real hard to stay positive.

Yeah, Mr. Sunshine, right?

I don't get it. Why bother?

-Because things are getting better.

Better treatment, better drugs.

People can live productive lives.

-Yeah? Then what about all these people

stockpiling drugs so that they can kill themselves?

With doctors helping out, too.

-We don't do that here, Mr. Lugo.

It's just for when people are very near the end.

Death with dignity, friends around.

Like pulling the plug on life support.

-Did dawes get into it like that with everyone?

-Everyone who's negative.

It's like a moral crusade.

-Hmm.

-We just need to ask you a few more questions.

-I can't believe how stupid I was.

I thought he was seeing another woman, not a man.

-Don't beat yourself up, Mrs. Groom.

He lied to you.

You're not a psychic.

-Still, I should have seen something.

-Does the name "Hector belaflores"

mean anything to you?

-No.

Is that the bastard he was sleeping with?

-For a time, yeah.

-Until Adrian cut him off you mean.

That was our deal we made.

He had to end the affair, or I was gone.

- And you're sure that he did? - Absolutely.

Our phone rang

in the middle of the night for weeks.

I'd answer, and Hector, I suppose, would hang up.

I think his little friend was having withdrawal pains.

-Stick 'em up!

-Hey, Tommy! Been a while.

-A few years.

It's good to see you, Harry.

-Still got your old man's grip.

-Yeah, well, you know.

-So what's up, kid?

-Well, I been looking into dad's murder.

I couldn't let it go.

-Why do you want to do that?

-Because the killer's still out there

and I heard your report was fake.

-From who?

-The witness, Raymond verducci.

-He's dirt, a junkie.

That statement was the only truth he ever said.

-He said he wasn't even there, Harry.

I want to know what's going on.

-Jake was my partner.

He died the way my report said.

-Then why is this guy saying different?

-I don't know, Tommy.

He's a liar, a crook.

Hey, let it go.

Don't drive yourself nuts.

-Come on, Harry.

It's me you're talking to.

You got nothing else to tell me?

-No.

-Okay, Harry.

But I'm staying on it.

-I started shooting dope when I was 16.

-Did you have any aspirations, Ricky?

-Oh, yeah. I wanted to be John Coltrane, right?

Till I sold my sax for some dope.

Then I killed myself sharing a dirty needle.

-You still have a long way to go.

Your story could help others.

-Take me, for instance.

I speak to school-kids about using condoms.

I'm a poster boy for what happens when you don't.

Give me a second.

I forgot to get a bag of tokens.

-So why do you do this, huh?

-My daughter got the virus from a transfusion several years ago.

-I'm sorry.

-The more that I learned about the disease

the more that I wanted to help.

-So is she still, uh...?

-She died.

-I don't know how you guys cope.

I don't know how any of you do.

Reality is like a bitch.

-There's all kinds of realities, Ricky.

-Belaflores was making these people's lives hell.

He would call them up to five times a night

and then he'd hang up.

-That makes him obsessive and a bad loser

not a murderer.

-Yeah. But it also gives him great motive.

-For groom's murder, yeah.

-Maybe for Charles Henderson's, too.

-What, were they lovers, too?

-Don't know, but Henderson

was a heavy boozer.

It got worse after he caught the virus.

-So, where you going with this, Tommy?

-Well he liked the bar scene

and his favorite place was belaflores.

-Pick him up.

-Already did.

-This is crazy.

Because I knew two men, I'm a murderer?

Is that what you're saying?

-We're not saying anything.

We're just asking questions.

-I... I had no reason to kill anybody.

Adrian was my friend.

I loved him.

-Just like you loved Charles Henderson.

You remember him?

-I barely knew Charlie.

-Oh, a one-night stand.

-No. I don't have one-night stands.

-Then he was your lover.

Before groom.

-Look, he was a drunk

who came into the bar and told good stories.

I never saw him outside the bar.

-So you're sure he didn't break it off with you first?

Just like groom.

-This is ludicrous!

-I mean, come on, that must have hurt.

I mean, being lied to like that. Damn.

-What are you trying to say, detective?

-See, now...

I see you get the picture.

-I'm not saying another word without a lawyer.

-Hey, mind if I join you?

-Depends.

I don't need any negativity right now.

-I ain't trying to bring nobody down.

I just need your help, that's all.

-For what?

-You know, i'm, uh... I'm scared, you know?

I can't help it.

I don't want to live like this.

-We're all scared.

-Yeah.

Yeah, well, uh...

I wonder if you know somebody.

You know, like... uh...

One of them Kevorkian types?

You know, could fix me up?

-You're poison, man.

You bring it around me again

then we going to finish what we started.

-[O'byrne] Come on, will you just

sign it, please?

-Come on. Don't you think it's just a little bit juvenile?

-You bring out the juvenile in me.

-Oh, I do, huh?

I haven't done this since high school.

-It's been about that long since I broke my hand fighting.

- Does it hurt real bad? - Not really.

Right now, it feels great.

-Oh, yeah?

-I haven't had much t.L.C. Lately.

-That's too bad.

-Yeah, it is, isn't it?

-[Cooper grunts]

-Sorry.

-I got to go.

You got to go.

-Listen, we could...

-No, we can't.

You got to go now.

[Melancholic music]

-Five minutes, Eddie,

another five minutes and we would've lost you.

-Dr. Berger said that if those other patients

didn't find you, my man, you would've been dead.

-Somebody slipped oxycodone into my coffee.

It could have been anyone.

There must have been 20 people coming in and out of that place.

-McNamara's on that, and I'll follow up.

Listen, I'll do background checks

on everybody up in here if I have to, all right?

My man.

-You going to be okay?

-[Groans] Yeah... If I stop eating and drinking.

-Well, maybe this should be the end of it.

-To what? The clinic?

-It's too dangerous, Eddie. Get lieu to pull you out.

-Oh, you want me to quit?

-Not in the same way you wanted me to quit.

I want you to be smart. There's a difference.

-Look, someone in there is on a mission.

They still don't know that I'm a cop.

-We can shut the place down.

-Yeah, and then they're going to move to another place.

-You know, the funny thing is, doctor,

folks just seem to o.D. All over your place.

-No one's ever o.D.'D in that clinic.

That's a gross exaggeration.

-Bull.

-I had nothing to do with what happened.

-How many times do I have to say that?

-You had access to the medication

that somebody put in his drink.

-It could have come from outside the clinic.

Check my inventories.

You'll find no discrepancies.

-C'mon, you could have brought it in from the outside.

-The janitor could have brought it in!

-Hey, watch it!

-For god's sakes, man

I am trying to help these people.

- "These people"?

Now, why... why is that?

-So this disease won't turn into the next bubonic plague

and so they don't feel so totally isolated.

-You sure you're not an angel of death, doctor?

Huh?

Now, you wait here.

[Sighing]

-We're going to have to kick him.

-Yeah, I know.

All opportunity and no motive.

-[McNamara] Same as belaflores, only in reverse.

-[Cooper] Do we have anything on anyone else?

-Everyone in the clinic had opportunity.

The coffee cups were out in the open.

[Phone rings]

-Cooper.

Yeah, I'll tell him.

Tommy, your brother's here.

-Fat boy, what's this about

checking up on little brother?

-You're a big boy, Tommy.

No need to check up on you...

At least, I hope not, huh?

-Ah... Harry Bennett called you, right?

-You know, that was dad's partner.

You hurt his feelings.

-C'mon, Jake, I just wanted to find out what happened.

I mean, don't you want to know?

He was your father, too.

-Yeah and he died a hero. We'll leave it at that.

Why, Jake? What is it that you're not telling me?

-I don't know nothing.

But if you dig into this,

you'll get ma riled up all over again.

You want that?

-I just want the truth.

-Look, the case was never solved

and better detectives than you tried to solve it.

Leave it alone.

-I can't.

I can't do that.

-You just be careful, then, all right?

-[Man] There you go.

-Drinking it straight today

or are you going to sweeten it again?

-What are you talking about?

-Everybody's talking like you had a medication mix-up

but I know the truth.

-Oh, yeah? What truth is that?

-I want to help you with this.

-Do you really think I tried to poison myself?

-I tried it too,

after my family disowned me.

A big bottle of aspirin.

-[Sighing]

Yeah, and..?

-That strange thing called the life-force took over.

I dialed 911 and got my stomach pumped

and here I am.

-Okay, mom, I hear you.

This is it?

This is everything?

-Your father never brought his work home with him.

Those paper in that trunk? That's all I ever saw.

Why are you doing this, Tommy?

-The murder's still open, mom.

-Well, what do you expect to find?

-I don't know.

-Tommy, if I ask you

to stop all this, for me,

would you do it?

-Why, mom?

-Because it

can only bring trouble.

Please.

-I wish I could, but...

Something about dad's murder always seemed wrong to me.

I got to find out why.

Do you know what this is?

-No, I don't know.

-All right, I got to split.

We still on for dinner Sunday?

-Yeah, sure, baby.

-All right.

-Mm-hmm. Good-bye, darling.

- Good seeing you. Take care. - Yeah.

-I'm not saying that anything's wrong with woodbridge.

-Then, g, what's the problem?

-Me, I guess.

-[Williams] What is that supposed to mean?

-I just don't like it anymore.

All the white kids talking about going

on their little trips with their parents.

Things like that.

-But some of their parents are divorced, too.

- You're not. - Same difference.

-It's not the same.

- You sound angry, g. - Wouldn't you be?

-We're talking about you.

-Come on, g, please, spit it out.

-Why couldn't y'all get married?

-Well, because...

Um...

We didn't really know each other that well.

-I don't think we were ready

for that.

-But you were ready to have a baby.

-Maybe not.

-G, we have always

been there for you because we made a pact.

-Why wasn't I important enough

for you to get married like normal people?

-[Sighing]

-[Dawes] So what were you feeling?

-What were you feeling when you tried it?

-Loneliness...

I'd reached out for my family and had been turned away.

Even my friends didn't think I was telling the truth.

-So what keeps you going on?

-The group.

Knowing there still might be a breakthrough.

Hmph. You can't stop enjoying life.

-Yeah, I hear that, but, uh...

I mean, you just going to ride it out

till the bitter end?

-Unless it gets too bitter.

Unless there's absolutely no hope.

I don't want a machine breathing for me.

I'm not even going out like that, know what I'm saying?

-Well, who's going to make that decision for you?

-Hopefully a friend.

Hey... Jane!

-Guess who.

Your dad.

-[Laughing]

-There you go.

[Gunshots]

[Engine racing]

[Gunshots]

[Tires screeching]

-Captain, you... You got a minute?

-Uh, yeah, Tommy.

Sure. What's up?

-Well, it's about my father.

Um, I been checking around

looking into things, and, uh... I found some money.

It's got to be dirty

and then somebody took a shot at me

which I'm sure was a warning.

-Yeah?

- "Yeah?" that's all you got to say?

-Well, I could tell you to leave it alone.

-You and everybody else.

-The night it happened, he called me,

said he was in trouble.

Needed some help.

By the time I got there, he was... he was dead.

-That's it?

-I'm telling you, Tommy,

I checked it out.

Nothing but stone walls.

-Yeah, but something was going on.

Right?

-[Sighs]

I think you already got your answer to that.

-Need some help?

-I'm sorry, judd.

I thought that it would be better news.

-I mean, why'd he even bother?

Just had to tell me again what a piece of crap I am.

-[Torres] He's ignorant

that's all.

-Yeah, he's ignorant.

I wanted to be just like him.

Look where it got me.

-What he said in that letter...

I mean, that's not about you, man.

-Every child

wants to be loved by his parents

and when you're not...

It drives you crazy.

-I was going to kill him.

He gave Adrian that bug, and now I've got it, too.

Great week for news, huh?

What's the matter, scum?

Afraid he'd tell on you, and poisoned him.

-You're crazy.

-You couldn't handle being jilted, could you.

- That's not true. - I found some of

your pathetic letters.

Who else have you infected in the meantime?

-No one. Look, I loved Adrian.

- Yeah, so did I. - Mrs. Groom, please.

-It's so... unfair!

How come you're not dying?!

-I probably will be.

-Mrs. Groom, please, let's go.

-Soon enough.

-Now, listen to me.

If this is the man who murdered your husband

we will get him.

Okay?

Now, you have my word.

Please get her out of here.

[Sighs]

-So what's going to happen to her?

-That depends if you want to press charges or not.

-How could I?

-Is it true what you said about the other lovers?

-I loved Adrian.

I'm not promiscuous.

-Yeah,

but you're not sick, are you?

-I'm h.I.V. Positive.

I might not look sick, but I am.

One day, I'll look just like Adrian.

Look, for what it's worth

I could never have poisoned him.

-For what it's worth, I do believe you.

-Come on. I'm the downer, remember?

-Leave it alone, Ricky.

-Let's get a group together.

Talk it out, play some cards, bro. Come on.

-I just want to be left alone.

-Don't let him do this to you, man.

-Another day, maybe.

I can't do it anymore.

Fight for myself and everybody else, too.

It's too hard.

-Sometimes it is.

-You know, I wish

I could rip my dad's lungs out.

-He's ignorant, judd.

-You know, two years ago, I'd have ripped him apart.

I'm sorry.

Guess my sunny disposition was just a big sham.

-Judd...

-Maybe I am better off dead.

-You don't really mean that.

-I do.

I mean, I've been hoping that one day

I'm going to wake up and be the man I used to be.

It's just a pipe dream.

I just keep getting weaker

and weaker.

-You need to lie down and relax for a while.

Here.

Take these.

-All right?

I'll keep this, you take that

there's your pen.

-We need to talk.

-Do we?

-I mean, can we?

-You want to go into my office

and close the door?

Sorry, captain, I don't think so.

-All right. Have it your way.

I wasn't going to take long in any case.

What I did yesterday

was extremely irresponsible.

Under the right circumstances

it could have cost us both our shields.

But it didn't happen without a reason.

It was something

that we had been building up to, the two of us.

Together.

-And if we have

what are we going to do about it?

-We sit down and talk.

Tonight, maybe.

Just let me know the...

Disposition of that thing.

-Yes, sir.

Williams. What's up?

-Yes. Jane Simmons, the aids counselor.

-What, the one whose daughter died of aids?

-Except that wasn't the cause of death.

She o.D.'D on prescription medicine

and the m.E. Ruled it an accident.

-Really?

Pick her up.

Oh, and call torres

and, uh, tell him to keep an eye out, alright.

-Yeah, I hear you.

I'll try to do that.

Have you seen Jane around?

-Um-um.

Geez.

Hey!

Someone call a doctor!

How's he doing, doc? - Touch and go.

The oxycodone was bad enough

but judd is weak.

He might not make it.

-All right, so we know that Jane Simmons

must have given it to him, right? Why?

-I have no idea.

Aside from the pain she felt about her daughter.

The child suffered terribly.

Well, did Simmons ever talk about it?

-She spent every day for months at the cemetery.

Then decided work was an antidote.

-Yeah, until somebody starts to suffer or get depressed.

-Jane went through hell. It pushed her over the edge.

-Okay, so we know she didn't go home.

Do you have any idea where she is?

-Who knows?

-Thanks. Let's get out of here, man.

[Dramatic music]

[Car door slams]

-Mommy's coming, baby.

Don't cry.

Mommy's coming right away.

-It's all over, Jane.

Let's go.

-You can't imagine what it's like... [sobbing]

Watching your child die.

Seeing her disintegrate right before your eyes...

Day after day after day...

[Simmons gasps]

She was too afraid to fight.

-Like Adrian groom and Charles Henderson.

-And you, Ricky.

And judd.

I had to help you.

I had to!

-Call 911!

-On it.

-I didn't come here to take advantage of you, Virginia.

Well, I don't know if I trust myself

-But this isn't stupid.

You know that.

-I have my kids and my husband waiting at home for me.

-Not a very attentive husband, from what you tell me.

-No, he's not.

But this is dangerous.

Now, we could have it here...

Why are you doing this to yourself?

-No family?

-Everybody's told him to give up.

Even Simmons before she died.

I mean, he's the one

who tried to change my attitude

and he's the one who's really dying.

-Sounds like he was a real fighter.

-He's a fighter.

I mean, he's fighting right now

just to keep those machines from living for him.

-Just like your dad.

-Yeah.

-Well, what if the machines take over?

-He wants somebody to pull the plug.

A friend.

-You?

Eddie, could you do that?

Is it right?

-I don't know what's right anymore.

I mean, I used to think I did

but I don't.

Maybe it's just being there for him,

giving him whatever he needs

no matter what.

But right now, I'm not going to bet

against him.
