[crickets chirping]

[police radio chatter]

[sirens]

Woman: dr. Collier
Would never

Kill anybody, never.

Man: uh-huh. Ellen is it?

Woman: ellen parks.

Man: you're dr. Collier's
Receptionist.

His secretary.

He's not a medical
Doctor, you know.

He's an important
Mathematician.

He doesn't go around
Killing people.

Yeah, well, ellen,
There's a dead woman

Lying on the floor
Of his master bedroom

With a big, big, big gunshot
Wound in her face.

So how do you
Think that happened
If dr. Collier didn't kill her?

You brought his car keys?

Any idea where
Your boss is now?

On vacation
In hawaii.

He stayed longer
Than planned.

Hey, flynn.
They're ready.

Flynn: we'll be back
In a minute, ok?

Wanna stay with her?

Man: you got it.

I guess collier never
Told his cleaning lady

He was staying late
At the luau.

Any I.D. On the victim?

Several.

Two driver's licenses,
Two passports.

All fakes, except the
Pictures have been cut out.

What?

Mm-hmm.

Let's hurry along,
Boys.

I got a date
And the clock
Is ticking.

Do we really need
These masks?

I declared her dead
From the hallway,
But...

Hey, you decide.

I got rid of
The flies, maggots,
And ants.

She cleaned up real
Good.

Flynn: you're a prince. Flynn.

Waters: waters.

Robbery-homicide.

She was naked like that
When we got here.

Yeah, that's what
They all say, doc.

Yeah.
And guess what.

The shot
To the face?

That wasn't
What killed her.

I'd lift the head
And show you,

But she's been dead
For 2 weeks now and
Stuff would fall out.

So here's the order.

Blunt force heavy blows
To the back of the head,
4 or 5 of them.

Then the hair was cut,
Clothes were removed,

And boom, someone
Shot her in the face.

Woman: looks like love.

Who might you be?

Dr. Tanaka, deputy chief
Brenda johnson,

Head of our new priority
Murder squad from atlanta.

Nice to meet you, doctor.

And you remember

Lieutenants
Flynn and waters,
Don't you, ma'am?

Brenda: yes, I do.
Nice to see y'all again.

Mind if I just jump
Right in here, doctor?

Excuse me. Ahem.
Any sign of sexual assault?

I don't know. I'm not gonna
Examine until tomorrow.

I'm just here to declare
The victim dead

And write it up
As a homicide.

Something a coroner's
Attendant usually does,

But some asshole at parker
Center insisted on a doctor.

Mm-hmm. That asshole
Would be me.

Oh. Excuse me.

Brenda: ohhh...

Brenda: look, doctor.
Just beside the ear canal
And on the edge of the lobe.

That's not blood.
It's dried vomit.

Killer threw up.

Over here. See?

The rug's discolored.

[sniffs]

[coughs]

[clears throat] someone used
Detergent here to clean
Up the vomit.

You might want to move this
Light and put a marker
Over here.

This crime doesn't look
Premeditated to me.

Sorry to interrupt
Your evenin', doctor,

But I'm gonna
Have to ask you
To expedite this autopsy.

When the body's ready,
I'll go with you to the morgue.

Thank you very much.

Uh, gabriel,
I miss something?

Or is your little priority
Murder squad taking over
The case?

Is that it?

This is not my idea. Ok?

This comes directly
From assistant chief pope.

Pope?!

[indistinct police radio]

Thank you.

[clears throat]

Flynn: I beg your
Pardon, ma'am.

Yes, lieutenant.

I don't know who
You think you are,

But we were assigned
This case by captain taylor.

Well, there's been
A change of plans.

Look, since you're
Gettin' emotional about
This, why don't we--

I don't get emotional.
I am damned angry!

Brenda: well. Thank you
For speaking your mind.

Look, I hate to pull rank
On my very first week,

But I think it would be best
If you handed your notes

Over to
Sergeant gabriel here,

Took a deep breath,
And went on back
To your car.

I can get what I need
From your partner here.

Waters, did you
Obtain a search warrant
For the car and garage?

Hey, gabriel,

You might explain to deputy
Chief brenda johnson here

That this is a crime scene,
That the maid found the body
In the bedroom.

In l.A., that's probable
Cause, and you don't need
A search warrant.

The garage is not
Attached to the house.

The car's inside the garage.

You need a prior
Authorization to examine
Both, so I repeat

Do you have a warrant?

I'll take that as a no.

Excuse me. Ma'am?

Did dr. Collier
Give you permission

To open his garage
To strangers?

No. I didn't think so.

Pardon me! Could y'all step
Away from what you're doin'

And come out of the garage?

Thank you very much.

Look, it's all
One house.

And the guy's secretary
Gave us the car keys.

No need to be
A bitch about it.

Excuse me...Lieutenant,

But if I liked being called
A bitch to my face,

I'd still be married.

Taylor: she was ordering
My boys around like
They were her servants.

I need a warrant to look up
The victim's skirt, "Y'all."

Look, pope, this idea
Of a priority murder squad--

It's expensive
And redundant.

These are not
Objections I heard

When the squad
Reported to you.

When the squad
Reported to me,

It wasn't undercutting
My authority as captain
Of robbery-homicide.

And to bring this
Girl--woman--person--

Whatever it is we're
Supposed to call them
Nowadays--

Listen, taylor, we tried running
The squad your way,

And we ended up with a 20-year
Veteran of the departed
Indicted for perjury,

And the murderer was off doin'
Interviews with larry king.

We're handing too many of these
Celebrity cases off to the d.A.

With less than compelling
Evidence,

Especially when these big
Defense lawyers get involved...

Sliding back
Into o. J. Territory.

Are you telling me
Some computer geek like
Collier is a celebrity?

This collier's developed
An antipiracy program that
His boss dr. Harlan brown,

Fourth richest man in america,
By the way--

I just mention that in passing--

An antipiracy computer program
That he values at around a half
A trillion dollars.

Giving her this case is
A judgment on my ability.

No. It's an acknowledgement
That we, the department,
Need more specialization.

Brenda is a c.I.A.-trained
Interrogator

With excellent references from
The atlanta police department

And a reputation for getting
Confessions that lead
Directly to convictions.

She worked for me in washington,
And I'm tellin' you,
She's not...

Miss congeniality,
I'm aware of that,
But she is a closer.

Now, the chief wants this to
Happen, and I'm gonna do it.

And hear me...Because if that
Means I have to transfer or
Demote people to get it done...

That's exactly what I'll do.

Guys work all their lives
To make deputy chief.

I've given l.A.P.D.
21 years.

And she waltzes in here
From 3,000 miles away,

Not a day of experience
On our beat,

And she outranks me?

You know the rules.

She either starts as a rookie
Officer or a deputy chief.

There was nothing in-between.

She doesn't have a sixth-floor
Office.

She's not included
In conference.

She's a deputy chief
In name only.

Well, she sure isn't
Actin' like that.

You might find this
Helpful, sir...

When you're thinkin'
About who you want
To transfer or demote

To make your little
Murder squad work.

[cell phone rings]

[ring]

Hi, mama.

No. No, I was just
Waitin' for my ride.

I know. They gave me a car.

I just don't know my way
Around here yet.

Well, big.

Everything's...Spread out
All over the place.

It's beautiful. Sunny.

Oh, I'm fine, just...

Everyone around here's so
Perfect-lookin', that's all.

Well...[chuckles]...Thank
You, mama, but I'm not.

Uh-huh. Yep.

Mmm. Last night.
My first investigation.

Mama, look, you
Always ask me that,
And when I tell you,

You're always horrified,

And it ends up being
An argument about what
I do for a livin'.

It's just too late to go
Back and try the ballet.

No, I'm--I'm not mad.
I just--

I just don't have time
For life discussion,
That's all.

So. No. You tell daddy
That I'll call him back.

Mama, my ride is here.
My ride is here. My ride.

Ok.

Ok. You, too. Bye.

Dr. Collier deleted
His entire employment record.

So. We have no picture
And no fingerprints.

What about the dmv?

Never had a california
Driver's license.

Medical records?

He had himself listed
As a christian scientist,
So no checkups.

And all the surveillance
Cameras at his company,

Video gets taped over
After 2 weeks.

Great. So. This murder may
Not have been premeditated,

But this disappearance was.

This can't be right.

The victim's prints are
Everywhere in collier's
House...

In his car,
In his office, too.

But collier's prints
Are nowhere?

How did he manage that?

Where's the financial
Report?

Can you wait
Until the banks open?

We need information off
Dr. Collier's office
Computers

And access to his
Professional e-mail.

I already asked for that stuff.
His company won't cooperate.

I'm sorry if you're
Tired, sergeant.

I'm not tired...Chief.

Well, I--I can't.
Look, I gotta go.

Chief? Chie--uh, chief.
Oh...Oh, oh, oh.

How are you today,
Detective tao?

Excuse me?

Oh. I mean...Fine.

Sorry. Um...I was doin' some
Background on dr. Collier?

Uh-huh.

I found his mother
This morning.

Uh-huh...

The elliott collier

With this social
Security number died...

When he was 19.

Who is this guy?

All right. Uh, detective tao,

Thank you very much.

Gabriel: ok, everybody. I hope
You finished your breakfast.

We got an autopsy report to go
Over. Everybody, listen up.

Will... [chuckles]

I didn't know you were
Gonna be in here today.

Don't look at
Any of this...

[chuckles] such a mess.
Um...I didn't know you
Were coming in here.

Don't look at this.
[grunts]

So. Uh, what's up?

Uh, I have something
I have to show you.

Gabriel: ok. The marks here
On the back of the head

Come from a small cube-like
Object with a density
Of granite.

Those are requests for transfer
Back to robbery-homicide...

From every single member
Of your squad.

Gabriel:
Now the first blow landed
As the victim was turning.

And then the others came
After she had already
Fallen.

I think captain taylor
Put 'em up to it.

But...Truthfully, we may have
Underestimated the difficulty

Of having this new murder squad
Run by...Someone from outside.

I--I would completely understand

If you decided this was...More
Than you want to put up with.

Will, I sold my house.

I turned down a position
At homeland security,

Which I'm sure is
No longer available.

If I lose this job...

After the ethics inquiry
I was put through
In atlanta...Huh...

You know, they may
Dislike me 'cause
I'm new and...

Because captain taylor
Doesn't want me here.

Relax, will, because...

Once I get to work
And they see me in action,

They'll have a whole
List of other reasons
To hate my guts.

Gabriel: about 12 years ago,
The victim had breast
Reduction surgery

As well as work done
Along the jaw line.

Indications are she had
A nose job as well.

Which means she was serious
About changin' her appearance.

So, what do we know about
This crime, really?

Or the motive dr. Collier had
For committin' it?

Not much.
No sign of sexual abuse.

We have a slug
From a .44 magnum,

Which detective lieutenant
Provenza might walk down to
Firearms analysis

To see if markings match up
To any known criminal weapons.

And, detective...Garth...

You could assemble
Collier's finances.

Might be somethin' there.

Detective sanchez
And detective daniels,

If you could join detective
Lieutenant tao puttin' together

A more complete picture
Of this guy.

And...Keep sergeant gabriel
Informed of your progress...

Because we need to focus on
Progress...Lady and gentlemen.

'cause all we have right now is
A woman we can't identify...

Murdered by a man
Who doesn't exist.

Allowing you access to
Dr. Brown's computer systems

Also gives you entry
Into the new encryption program.

Can't do it. And besides,
The idea that--that

Dr. Collier murdered anyone
Is absurd.

So, where's your client,
Mr. Banks?

How come he never showed up
In his hotel room in hawaii?

Look, elliott collier
Is a genius.

A little affected, a bit,
Uh, reclusive, but he's
Not a murderer.

What do you mean,
"Affected"?

Well, like steven jobs.

You know who he is, don't you?

One of the founders
Of apple computer?

Well, mr. Jobs almost always
Wears khakis and black
Turtlenecks in to work.

And elliott copies him in that.

And he's...[chuckles]...
Terrified of colds.

He always puts on plastic gloves

Before he'll touch anybody
Else's keyboard.

Now, is this obsessive-
Compulsive behavior?

Yes. But it comes
With real genius, ms. Johnson.

Dr. Collier's program may be

The most profitable innovation
In internet technology
Since e-mail.

And how much will this
Antipiracy program
Be worth

If this so-called
Dr. Collier disappears
And we can't find him?

Under those circumstances,
I'd say your encryption
Program's probably worth...

Oh, air in a jug.

Uh, whoa. Whoa. W-what
Do you mean by "So-called"?

The man usin' the name
Elliott collier created
That identity

By stealin' the social
Security number

Of a teenager
Who died in 1989.

So whatever you
Do...Don't

Let dr. Collier pay you
By credit card.

Ms. Johnson...My law firm
Includes 2 members of
The l.A.P.D. Police commission.

Don't begin your tenure
By antagonizing me.

Brown: wait. Wait.

This--this suggestion that
Elliott isn't who he said
He was--

Now, isn't it possible
That you're mistaken?

What's possible, sir,

Is that when I release
This information
To the media,

I can forcefully express
My shock at how

A company whose entire
Reason for existin'

Is to make things
More secure,

But has been deceived
On a daily basis

By its most valuable
Employee...

What will that do
To the share value
Of your stock?

I need dr. Brown to sign
That waiver

Allowin' us to search
Collier's office
And computers.

Or I can...Call
A press conference.

It's up to you.

Thank you so much.

Gentlemen.

Provenza: I'm walkin' this slug
Through whether you like it
Or not.

Taylor: you think so?
Over my dead body.

Provenza: let me tell you
Somethin'.

I've been in this department too
Long to get mixed up in this
Political bullshit!

I'll tell you what, taylor.

You'll tell me what?

Yeah, I'll tell you what!
I can't hear you

'cause you ain't
Sayin' nothin'!

[whistles] what the hell
Is goin' on here?

My men have cases
Been waitin' 3, 4 weeks
Down here,

And they're gonna push
Past 'em? No, no, no!

I requested a transfer back
To robbery-homicide?

Ok, do not screw with me,
Gabriel. You wanted this job.

You campaigned for it. I still
Have your thank-you note.

Give me the slug and move on.

Oh.

Come on, come on, come on.

Bye, provenza.

Everybody, let's go.

Come on,
Go catch some bad guys.

Now, look.

You haven't let me
Explain my side.

I'm not interested in your side.

You have no idea of the heat
We're taking on this case.

I'm fielding calls from
Senators. That's plural.

Senators. Collier gets away,

Someone is gonna be held
Accountable,

So why don't you back off?

Because if this case has to
Crash and burn,

I'm guessing you would prefer
That brenda do that
All by herself.

I don't know what
You're implyin', sir,

But I would never
Deliberately screw up
A murder investigation.

Yeah. Right.

Now. Uh, do you have a problem
With me cutting in line?

Not at all, sir.

Not at all.

Dr. Collier transferred
Nearly every dollar he made

Into accounts connected to
The victim's aliases.

I mean, collier pays a
Lease on his house, the gas,
The electric, the phone.

The rest goes mostly to our
Jane doe. Like here--

3 days before he leaves,

Collier transfers everything
He has left

Into two of the victim's
Bank accounts.

Sounds like blackmail.

Except why would he transfer
Money to her when he's
Plannin' on disappearin'?

Hey. He didn't get rid
Of everything.

Tech services is sending over
A couple things.
Help yourself.

No one gets in or out of his
Company's secure area
Without an iris scan.

Hmm.

Hey...Does the iris
Have any identifying
Characteristics,

You know, like a limp
Or a, you know,

Talk with an accent
Or something?

Tao: children...In
The land of no evidence,

The left eye iris is king.
He's our friend.

We're calling him max.

[garth chuckling]

Oh. And I have these.

Mash notes to his secretary.

From dr. Collier's
E-mail accounts.

"Ellen, I cannot tell you
How much last night meant.

When your lips touched
Mine..."

Oh! This she didn't mention.

Uh...Run it through
The system and see what
We have on ellen parks.

With a little cross around
Her neck.

Now, what if ellen found out

Her boss was living
With another woman?

And killed her
In a jealous rage?

And what happened
To dr. Collier?

No. It's more likely
She helped him escape.

But is she helpin' him now?

Maybe dr. Collier
Was planning on going off

With this woman, and, uh,
Ellen killed both of them.

[knocks] yeah?

You wanted somethin'?

Uh...What happened to the slug?

You get anything back
From firearms analysis?

Didn't college boy here
Tell you?

Don't I even warrant a return
Call before you head home

To the beautiful and lovely
Estelle?

I was gonna get back
To you from the car.

I have dinner plans.

Brenda: oh, sounds vaguely

Familiar, doesn't it? Me waiti''

To hear from you,
You off with your wife.

Different city.

Different wife,
But still...

The fbi hadn't gotten back to me
On our jane doe's prints.

That could take a week.

Maybe not.

I got a lot of friends there.

But not hearin' from them makes
The firearm analysis more
Important.

So...Where is it?

I--I don't have it yet.

But I moved you to the head
Of the line.

And I made it clear that's
Where you belong.

[sighs]

Brenda, I just
Upheld your authority.

This is where you
Thank me.

You promised me there wouldn't
Be any question about my
Authority.

Every time I turn around,
I'm havin' to remind people
That I go first.

Makes me really popular.

[car door slams]

Well, why do you

Always push harder
Than necessary?

I mean, what does
This slug have to do
With anything, really?

Because the more I find out
About the victim
And dr. Collier,

The more they have in common.

I think somehow
They were partners.

They were both...Livin'
Together.

They were dropout artists,
Both obsessed with hidin'
Their identities.

And why do people do that, will?

Probably 'cause
They're criminals.

And the bullet that was fired
In the victim's head,

That could've been fired
From a gun used in another
Crime,

One that the victim
Or dr. Collier changed their
Identities to escape.

That slug could tell
Me who they are.

Look, will, now is no time
To go all wobbly on me.

Brenda, you--you have
My total support.
You know that.

I just--

Well, there's a problem
With your management
Style

That I did not
Anticipate.

And I can't change
The way these guys
Feel about you.

You're the one person
I was countin' on.

Ok, no, no, no. What--

Wait a minute.
That's not fair.

I know what you're up to.

You've always played
Both sides of the fence.

And I can just hear you now
With taylor..."Back off."

Brenda, that's--you're
Just being paranoid.

Come on, you know...

You know how much...

I admire you.

You know.

Yeah. That's the problem.
I do know.

You have led me on, will, again.

Which--which you've always done
With women, and it's forgivable
From a personal standpoint,

But this is my life you're
Screwin' with! My life!

I want that slug back...

And I want that report.

Have a nice dinner.

Sanchez: I kept her
Working with
The portrait artist

Putting together
A picture of
Dr. Collier,

But she knows
Something's up.

Volunteers on weekends
For work in her parish.

Never married. One arrest.
Oh, great.

Part of a planned parenthood
Clinic. Lovely.

All right, you've been with her
All day, so you can stay
With me.

But just smile and look
Reassurin'.

And, uh, sergeant gabriel,
You can go on home.

I'll be drivin' myself
To work from now on.

Excuse me. Ma'am,

Can I talk to you
For a second, please?

I should be
In this interview.

I don't need you.

Ok, can I say something?

You are taking this business
About people asking

To go back to
Robbery-homicide
Way too personal.

It's just--nobody...
Nobody should've come

In our department
The way you did.

You know? And another thing.
Captain taylor?

I know you've had
Your trouble with him,
But he's a great guy.

All right? He got
The l.A.P.D. To pay
For my masters at u.S.C.,

And he got me
My first promotion.

If you give him a--

Sergeant gabriel, um...

I think I'm old enough to drive
Myself to work without being
Thought-vindictive.

Ok, all right, that is not
What I meant by--

And as far as captain taylor is
Concerned,

I should probably explain
That I do not form

My relationships with people
Based on how they're treatin'
You.

That would be your mother,
Maybe.

[sighs]

It's just that...You worked late
Last night, that's all.

Go home and get some sleep.
And I'll see you tomorrow.

Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

Oh. Thank you very much...
Detective daniels.

All right, then.

Hello, ellen. Thank you
So much for your help.

Oh, I love your cross!

It's very pretty.

Thank you.

My mother gave it to me
When I was thinking
Of becoming a nun,

Which is funny,
Actually,

Because she was so
Against it at the time.

Your mother didn't
Want you to be a nun?

She's a bit of a church
Activist, isn't she?

Well, we're...Very pro life.

Yes. But...I guess
There's a difference...

Between living by
The church's teachings,

Which we do, and, uh...

Withdrawing completely
From the world.

Well...If you ask me,
The world...

'scuse me.

Shape right now.

We could do with a few more
People wearin' crosses.

So, your mother didn't mind you
Working for dr. Collier?

No. No.

So she met him, then?

He passed the all-important
Mother test?

Yes.

So, you still live
With your mother.

Yes. My father died
When I was 15. So...I...

Come on, come on.
Show her the e-mails.

Help with the mortgage
And stuff like that.

So, you had a relationship
With dr. Collier outside
The office?

A friendship.

Oh, I--I assumed that...
It was more than that,

Because you had keys
To his house,

So I--I--I just assumed that...

Oh. [chuckles softly]
No.

He would give me keys
When he would go on
Vacation.

But...The keys
Didn't indicate that

There was anything
Romantic.

I've actually never
Dated anyone...Ever.
So...

Well...[chuckles]...

I'm so glad to hear that.

Because if you were datin' him,

Then the question I'm about to
Ask you might hurt your
Feelings.

Did you know that dr. Collier
Was livin' with the victim?

No.

He never mentioned that?

No.

You never met her or saw her?

No.

Well, they had a relationship
Of some kind. Um...

We found her fingerprints
In his office at work.

[sighs] well, that's
Just...Really surprising

Because...

There are very strict rules
About that, and I'm just...

It's just very surprising
That dr. Collier would do
Something like that.

I know. It's always hard when we
Discover someone we care about

Isn't who we think he is.

Yeah.

[ellen breathes
Stressfully]

Well, ellen...Thank you so much
For your time.

That's it?

We're finished?

Yes. And you've been
Very helpful.

But promise me something,
'cause I know he was your
Friend.

Dr. Collier gets in touch
With you again, you must
Let us know.

Yes.

Don't let me leave here
Concerned about you.

No.

Thank you.

Tv: growing skepticism on
Wall street that'd make--

[tv continues, indistinct]

Woman on tv: we're goin' a

Little bit lighter and a little

Bit darker than your skin tone

So that you will always be able

To match exactly...

[telephone rings]

[tv continues, indistinct]

[ring]

Hello?

Fritz? Well, hi!

How are you? Where are you?

Oh, no.

Oh, you're kiddin' me.

[chuckles] no! No, not at all.

I'll--I'll be right down.

Just, um...Just gimme--gimme

2 minutes.

Uh, just--just 2 1/2.

And--and order me a merlot. Ok?

All right. Bye.

[chuckling] oh, fritz.

[laughing] fritz, I didn't
Know you were livin' here.

Since when?

3 1/2 years. 30 pounds ago.

Ohhh...

You should try and stay
In touch more. You know?

I know, I know.
I'm terrible.

I can't even keep
An address book
Together.

No one could've made me
Believe you'd accept
A transfer to l.A.

I love it here.
You know what I like best?

This wine is yours.

Oh, thanks. Thank you.

What I like best is

No matter how hot it gets
During the day,

The nights...Are always cool.

You'll forget washington
And atlanta in one summer.

[brenda chuckles]

Here's to no humidity.

Cheers.

So, you're workin'
For pope again, huh?

Yeah. Yeah. I shoulda
Gone with you to the fbi

While I had the chance.

And you?
How's, uh...Um...

Elaine? Is it elaine?

Cindy.

Oh.

[chuckles] she's gone.

No, it, uh...She started
Therapy, and, uh...Blah,
Blah, blah. Long story.

[laughs]

Some other time.

Ok. Jackie sent this over to you
From d.C. This mornin'.

Normally, you'd get it tomorrow,

But I saw your name on it.

I did a little investigating.

I thought I'd hand-deliver it
To you tonight.

Oh...

Before I give it to you,
Though...Brenda...

I don't want you to
Just tear it open
And run upstairs.

You gotta promise me you're
Gonna sit here, finish your
Wine, catch up...

I will. Why does
Everyone think
I'm so horrible?

And really, fritz, do
You expect me to believe

That after spendin'
3 years around
The women here

That what you really
Want to do is hang
Around

A hotel bar with me?

Oh, shut up. You look terrific.

[chuckles]

Ok!

Now, you really want
To feel bad about yourself,

I'll take you up to
Santa barbara someday.

It's like visiting stepford.
I kid you not.

It's your I.D. On your jane doe.

[sighs]

You were right.
Your victim's got a record.

In fact, she's wanted
For murder.

Our victim's name was
Alana devon.

She would've turned
40 next month.

In 1991, she shot
A security guard

Outside a pharmaceutical
Company during an act up
Protest.

I suppose you all know
What act up is.

Mmm.

Lieutenant provenza
Doesn't know.

Mm-mmm.

Act up is an organization
Dedicated to raisin'
Awareness about aids.

Oh, jeez! Are you
Tellin' me that she's
A murderer and a lesbo?

I'm sure, detective provenza,
That when you say "Lesbo,"

You don't intend that in
A derogatory way,

Since that would mean you'd be
Spendin' the next 2 weeks in
A sensitivity seminar.

Again?

[chuckling] no. No.
Lesbo is,

Uh...Uh, I just thought
It was short for
Lesbian.

It isn't. So. Yes.

Alana...Was a lesbian. There's
Also some question as to whether
Or not she acted alone

Or actually meant
To fire the gun.

Like collier, she was
A computer scientist,

And like him,
She changed her identity.

And the gun that fired this
Bullet into her face is the same
Gun used in the original crime.

So you think collier's
Connected to this crime,
Too.

May I see those, please?

Yes, you may.

I need to take another look
At alana's body.

Ok. So, I don't know how
She figures into this
Anymore, but--

She who?

Collier's secretary ellen.
Here.

The last day he was
In town, ellen closes
Her checking account.

Following monday,
She reopens it.

Yeah.

Chief.

The morgue released
The body.

What?

On whose authority?

Taylor: as soon as
The I. D. Comes out

And the medical examiner
Certifies he's finished,

The body is released
By law to the family.

You had no right to send that
Information to the morgue.

Family's been waitin' 15 years
For alana to come home,

They can wait 3 more days.
I need her body to make my case.

You're telling me you're
That close to finding
Collier?

If I can get
His secretary to
Cooperate, yes.

Taylor: and how does the
Body figure into this?

What's so important--

I don't report to you, captain,

So your question's irrelevant.

Excuse me?!

Everybody, just calm down.

You need alana's body
To find collier?

I wouldn't be here
If I didn't.

You'll have the body back
Tomorrow morning.

Thank you very much.

Did you hear the way
She spoke to me?

Did you hear?

Sit down.

We need to talk.

[taylor exhales slowly]

Gabriel: um...

I just wanted to say that, um...

And I didn't mean anything
By it...But...

I was the one who told taylor
You had I.D.'d the body.

Well, I understand.
He was your friend.

Um...I usually get along better
With people around here

Than I have been with you.
I'm--I'm organized.

I'm...Usually pretty good at
Figurin' out what people need

Or...What they think they need
Or what they...Want...From me.

Uh...Ahem...But...To be honest,

I'm...Havin' a little trouble
Figurin' that out with you.

Well, when all else fails,
You can try bein' yourself.

[chuckles]

Yeah, well, that...

Sounds radical, but I'd be,
Uh...Willing.

'cause I...Actually I have a
Couple questions, uh...Like...

Have you been able to figure out

How dr. Collier was able

To get rid of his fingerprints
From everywhere?

Yes.

Oh. Ok. Um...

And that...Bit about gettin' the
Body back and finding him.

Now, is that true,
Or were you bluffing?

Oh, I never...Bluff,
Sergeant gabriel. I just...

Express my optimism
Forcefully.

You ordered ellen parks picked
Back up and held overnight.

I did.

I don't see how that helps us

Unless she tells us
Where dr. Collier is.

I mean, we don't
Have the gun.

I mean, we don't
Have the murder weapons.

We don't have any witnesses.

Ellen will be very
Helpful with all of
That, I promise.

This more of your forceful
Optimism?

Oh, no. It's my
Experience...

Because as any good
Interrogator will
Tell you...

As hard as a secret
Is to uncover, it's
Even harder to keep.

Good night,
Sergeant.

Um...Sure.

Good night...Ma'am.

Mm-hmm.

Come in.

Why did you pick this
Woman up last night

And then ignore her
All day?

Because I'm preparin' myself
And lettin' her stew.

It's perfectly legal.

You're gonna interrogate her
And walk out of that room

Knowing where collier is,
Knowing why the murder
Took place?

I already know those things.

You have proof this woman
Is connected to the murder?

I can place her at the scene
Of the crime.

I need her to tell me
What happened.

All right. What if you lay
Your cards on the table
And she stiffs us?

Then you'll never see her
Again without an attorney,
And we are screwed.

Are you tryin' to encourage me
Or make me nervous?

I'm just tryin' to
Figure out why you're
So damn confident

You can get this woman
To help you.

Well, because, will,

I know a little somethin'
About admirin' the boss
And findin' out

He's not the guy
You thought he was.

All right, then, let's go.

I thought you were
My friend.

It's important, ellen,

That you do not say anything yet
And let me explain why.

Why am I being kept here?
I haven't done anything.

Unless you let me finish
Speaking,

I'll have to put you
Formally under arrest.

Is that what you want?
If I do charge you with a crime,

You'd be entitled
To an attorney.

Do you want me to charge you so
You can have a lawyer with you?

No. No, I don't want to
Be charged with
Anything.

Ok. But there are things
That have to be said

When we investigate a murder,
Or I'll get in trouble.

Sergeant gabriel here is gonna
To inform you of your rights
So we don't make any mistakes.

Ellen radcliff parks,

You are under investigation
For murder.

You have the right...

She should
Shake the bitch
By the shoulders

And see what
Pops out.

Why do you call every woman
You see a bitch?

Why do you do that?

Oh, shut up, daniels.

She's a murder suspect.

Asshole.

And proud of it.

Do you wish to continue
At this time

And waive your right
To an attorney?

Yes, yes.

Sit down, please.

Now, I want you to know that
I've kept the police from
Arresting you,

And I have done this
Because I wanna help you.

Because we want real justice
Here, but I have to tell you

How disappointed I am, ellen,
Because you lied to me.

Here is the email correspondence
Between you and dr. Collier,

Which directly contradicts
This notion that you and he
Were only friends.

You were not just friends.
You were having an affair,
Isn't that so?

It wasn't an affair.

You loved him. He loved you.
You wrote it here. See?

It wasn't an affair.

You kissed. You were romantic
With each other.

We never--I never--

Ellen, I'm sorry, I can't.
Sergeant gabriel.

Just wait a minute.
Just wait a minute.

I am telling you that it
Wasn't an affair.

I had never--we were
Not...Physical.

But you were emotionally
Intimate.

Yes.

Now, ellen, I know the answers
To most of these questions,

So do not lie to me again,
Or I'll have to accept

The fact that I can't help you,
And I'll leave.

Now, you and dr. Collier
Were very close.

You loved him. He loved you.

Did he tell you that he had
Changed his name?

Yes.

That's good, ellen.

That's a relief to me.

You're telling me the truth now.

Let's stick with that.

Did he tell you that he was
Living under a false identity?

Yes.

And that he was involved with
The shooting of a security
Guard?

Yes.

And you kept that information
From the police, why?

Because it was an accident.
He didn't mean to kill
Anybody.

And he showed you the gun?

Yes, yes,
He showed it to me.

And did he tell you that
In spite of everything he had
Done to hide himself,

That someone had recently
Recognized him?

Yes.

So, dr. Collier decided
That he'd have to disappear,

And he wanted you
To go with him?

I didn't...Have any...
Intention of going--

You closed your checking
Account.

Ellen, I warned you about lying.
I'm sorry. Sergeant.

I was not--
Would you please
Wait a minute!?

I said, I had not
Decided...

To go with him.
I am not lying!

Let me explain.

I think I know where
She's going with this.

Elliott had told me that
If I went with him...

That I wouldn't be able
To see my mother
Anymore...

That I couldn't even
Call her.

So I had not decided.

But you went to his house
That night,

And he had a passport for you,
A fake passport.

You can just nod if you want to.

Now, let's talk
About alana devon for a moment.

'cause that night you were
Leavin',

That was when you first
Met her, isn't it?

Could you ask him...

To step outside, please?

Yes.

Go on.

I'll help you through this.

Sit down.

These things have to be said...

Even though what alana
Did to you was so unfair...

And so unkind.

Alana devon fired
The actual shot that
Killed the security guard.

People saw her.

So she used her computer skills
To hack into atms and credit
Card accounts.

And she disappeared.
She had plastic surgery.

That changed her jaw line
And her nose and reduced
Her breasts.

And she proceeded to live
Her life in permanent disguise.

She always wore turtle necks
To hide the fact that she
Had no adam's apple.

She also claimed to be
A christian scientist,

So she wouldn't have to
Take the company physical.

That's why we only
Found alana's fingerprints
In dr. Collier's house

And in his office
And in his car.

Not because alana was living
With dr. Collier,

But because she was dr. Collier.

Do you know how I can prove
This, ellen?

The shot that was fired
In alana's face missed
Her left eye.

And when I took her body
Back to the morgue,

I found that the iris scan
Of alana's left eye

Matched exactly the scan
Of elliott collier's left eye.

So the man with whom you were
Having an affair wasn't
A man at all.

He was a woman.

And that night you were leaving,
He told you the truth.

He showed you who he was.
I have it right, don't I, ellen?

Or are you a lesbian?

Maybe you're a lesbian.

If you are a lesbian, I'd--

[pounds table]
I am not...

A lesbian.

How could you
Say that to me?

How could you say
Something

So disgusting
And so horrible?

How could you
Say that?

But you didn't mean
To kill him, did you?

You hadn't planned on that.

Just for the record, though,

Just so it's clear that it
Wasn't on purpose,

Could you please say that
Out loud?

I didn't...

Mean...To kill him.

I was kissing him,
And she...

Pulled my hand down...

Against her and I...

I picked the paperweight
Up...

Off the desk, and I...

I hit him
Over the head with it.

I...I hit her
In the head.

Then when she fell,
I just beat her head in.

I just beat
Her head in.

At some point,
You realized that

Alana's face still
Looked like elliott collier.

And you didn't want to
Leave it like that.

I, uh...I cut
All her hair off,

And I took all her
Clothes off

Because I didn't
Want anyone to think
It was elliott.

I just wanted to--
I wanted them

To think it was
A woman.

[crying]

And so you took the gun
That he had showed you,

And you shot her in the face.

Mmm. Mm-hmm.

I am...

I am not...
A lesbian.

I am...A...
Good catholic girl.

And I have tried to
Be one every day of
My life.

Good work.

I have to make
My final report
To the chief.

I'm sure he'll
Wanna call you
In the morning

With his regards.

Can't wait.

Right.

Well...

Good night.

Good night.

Sergeant.

Good night, sir.

So, sure you won't join us
For a drink, celebrate?

No. I gotta take this stuff
Back to the hotel.

Maybe some other time.

Sure. Sure.

You know, you were right
From the very beginning.

Looked like love.

Unh!

[cell phone rings]

Oh, no...

[ring]

[ring]

[sighs]

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm. Mmm hmm hmm mmm!

Mmm!

Mmm!
