- Come on.
- Come on, guys.

Hands off.

No.
- Come on, baby.

- I said no.
- Come on, come on.

- Please, come on.
- No.

She said no.

Oh.

- Look out! Look out!
- Ow!

I
thought I told you

the last time you were in here.

Okay, well, you
know, they started it.

Yeah,
well, I'm ending it.

Chandler.

Hey, hold up. This
is a restricted area.

Military Police personnel only.

Warrant Officer Chandler.

Criminal
Investigation Division.

Is that supposed to impress
me, Chief Warrant Officer?

It'd be impressive if it meant

I didn't have to
freeze my ass off

coming out to a crime scene
in the middle of the night.

Gum?
- No, thank you, sir.

Corporal?

Jeffries. Tara Jeffries.

Corporal Jeffries, could
you take that light away

from my eyes now?

Sorry, sir.

I forgive you.

So, Corporal, where
am I going to now?

Second floor. Ask
for Captain Donovan, sir.

Thank you, Corporal.

Officer.

Captain Donovan.

We don't need CID here.

This isn't a drunk
and disorderly, Captain.

Murder is our jurisdiction.

The victim was the wife of
a Military Police officer.

- The soldier on the stairs?
- Sergeant Barry Atkins.

Where was he tonight?

He's one of my men.

That's not what I asked
you, sir. Was he on duty?

He was off base.

But his whereabouts
are accounted for,

Chief Warrant Officer.

Don't waste your time. My men
have it all under control.

Well, Major Dawson
wouldn't like it

if I didn't at least pretend

to do what he ordered me to do.

What are we working with here?

You know
we've had a string

of burglaries on base.

This one went bad.

Poor Franny surprised
the perpetrators

and got a kitchen
knife in her chest.

Your boys
find her wedding band?

No, gone with the
rest of the jewelry,

some cash, and silverware.

Strange
they missed this.

This handle match the
set in the kitchen?

Yes, we
have done this before.

Yeah.

Door was wide open?

She didn't have the
dead bolt locked.

Franny was the trusting type.

Yeah, I can see that.

Anybody talk to the neighbors?

There's only one on
this floor, Mrs. Owens.

The building has
been mostly vacated.

We questioned her. She
didn't hear a thing.

Like I said,

we have this investigation
well in hand, Chandler.

Can we take this
outside, Captain?

If we must.

I'll get right
down to it, Donovan.

I know your MP's can handle
this, but they shouldn't.

Thanks, Private.

[Donovan[ And why is that?

Well, for one, the
Military Criminal Code says

that homicide is
CID's responsibility.

No, screw jurisdiction.

This one is personal.
Can you understand that?

Noted.

And the second reason why your
MPs shouldn't be involved.

Personal feelings can get in
the way of an investigation.

You know that the prime suspect

in any spousal homicide
is the husband.

In this case, your
Sergeant Atkins.

We've eliminated Barry
Atkins as a suspect.

Already?

Atkins checked out
a car at 6:00 p.m.

He spent the evening

with his wife's brother's
family in Modesto.

Fran's brother, Tom, confirmed

that Atkins was with
him until midnight.

So unless you think her
own brother would lie

to protect his sister's killer,

the Sergeant was 50 miles
away when she was attacked.

No, this was a
burglary gone bad.

And we, not you, are gonna
get the scum bags who did it.

Capisce?

That was quick.

Yeah.

It seems Captain Donovan
was even less impressed

by my badge than you were.

Good night, Corporal.

Good night, sir.

- I'm sorry for your loss.
- Thanks, Mike.

Barry. I mean, Sergeant.

I'm so very sorry.

Sorry for your loss.

- Such a nice girl.
- Yeah.

- Here, honey.
- I'm good, thanks.

You gotta eat.

I'm good.

Thanks for coming, Mum.

Oh, where else
would I be? My boy needs me.

- I'm so sorry.
- Thanks.

Have you heard from Dad at all?

Left a message.

Screens his calls in case
I'm looking for alimony.

I'm sure he'll leave you
a nice warm telegram.

Sergeant. Warrant Officer.

Terribly sorry for your loss.

If I can help in any way,

officially or otherwise,
you just name it.

I'm gonna get the guy
who did this to my wife.

I know you will.

Lieutenant Chandler,
Criminal Investigations.

This is my mother.

- Mrs. Atkins.
- Call me Bunny.

Please, everyone does.
It's nice to meet you.

- Attention.
- At ease.

As you were.

It's a wonderful
service the chaplain gave.

Wonderful.

Our prayers are with you.

Thank you, sir.

Mother, you remember Major
Dawson, my commanding officer.

- Major Dawson.
- How nice to see you again.

Sergeant, do this.

Why don't you take a
couple of days, regroup,

when you feel up to it, just
report to me at Headquarters.

Begging Major's pardon, sir,

I'd like to get back on
duty as soon as possible.

I understand. I'll discuss
it with Captain Donovan.

- Thank you, sir.
- Bunny.

- Get your hands off me.
- Relax, Tom.

Relax? My sister is dead.

She's dead.

There's nothing
you could have done.

There's nothing
I could have done?

What's going on, Tom?

What's going on?

Any of these people
actually really know Fran?

Any of you people know Franny?

Huh? Did you know Franny?

Franny was
nice to everyone she met.

People remember kindness.

Yeah, a lot of
good it did her.

What about you, Mr. Policeman?

Couldn't even protect
your own wife. Huh?

No one's
sorrier than I am, Tom.

No one's sorrier than I am.

And why wasn't she
with you that night

when you came over, huh?

She wasn't feeling well.

Then why didn't you stay
home and take care of her?

You're her husband, you're
supposed to take care of her.

- Tom!
- Get your hands off me!

I don't think
Franny would like you

acting like this, you know?

I think that we're
all just trying

to do the best we can here.

Should have taken care
of those guys the first time.

Lock
yourself out, Officer?

Hello again, Corporal.

It's Tara.

Corporal Tara. No,
I have my keys right here.

How are you liking
your new post?

It's fine.

Just have to get to
know San Francisco.

It's pretty good once
you get to know it.

Well, with the base
closing in six months,

I don't think I'll have time

to develop any strong
feelings about it either way.

Yeah, we don't have much time.

Excuse me?

Can you come by the
enlisted mess on Friday night?

All the MPs get
together for drinks

when we're done our shift.

And you want me to?

Drink. That's
what we do there.

Do you drink?

When I have to.

Me, too.

I should get in there
and pay my respects.

Friday night, remember.

The Presidio.

Sir?

This base has been a
military fort since 1776.

Back then the Spanish flag
flew over these walls.

U.S. Army took over in 1848.

The Presidio's been part

of every conflict
we've had since then.

And soon it's gonna be gone.

Damn base closings.
Damn budget cuts.

Yes, sir, damn budget cuts.

I just finished the report

on the Deats-Able court martial.

Excellent work.

Thank you, sir, but the facts
were pretty straightforward.

I have your new
case right here.

The Capobianco hearing?

But what about the
Frances Atkins case?

Oh, the
MPs are on that.

It's a homicide. It's
supposed to be ours.

Well, Captain
Donovan feels it's part

of the MPs ongoing investigation
into the base burglaries.

I tend to agree with him.

Major, Sergeant Atkins'
squad was investigating

a series of robberies.

It's my theory he got too close.

Maybe the men who killed his
wife are sending him a message.

Maybe. Why do you want it?

It's my job.

I know, I know you think

you've got something to
prove here, Chandler.

But you don't.

You don't. That's
why you're here.

That's why we're all here.

Come on, James, you know,
just, just start thinking

of this base like
it's the Titanic

and your only job is
to stand on the deck

and watch the grand old
lady disappear into history.

- Sir, the MPs are-
- Are on it.

The MPs have got it
covered. Let them handle it.

Don't make any waves.

Capobianco is your next
case. Do you understand that?

Of course, sir.

Captain, something
I can do for you?

Seeing as you're new here,

I want to make it clear
to you how things work.

And how is that?

We run this base.

Does the General know that?

'Cause, I mean, we
can call over to his-

Aw, Shut up.
You know what I mean.

Was that necessary?

And just because this
base is going all to hell,

me and my men are
not gonna go with it.

You understand?

I gotta tell you guys,

you're confusing
the hell out of me.

First you run the base,
then you don't run the base.

He's a general,
you're a captain.

I'm a little fuzzy on this
whole chain of command thing.

Well, let me give you
the Braille version.

Stay away from Fran Atkins.
Stay away from Sergeant Atkins.

And stay out of our affairs.

You left out the
"or else," Captain.

Or else.

Okay.

Welcome to the Presidio.

I'm very sorry
about your sister.

Thanks.

Why aren't we doing this
at your office on the base?

I thought this was nicer.

I was always the guy in college

who asked the teacher to
take the lecture outside.

Yeah, me, too,
but they never did,

that's why I became
a teacher myself.

Oh, yeah? What do you teach?

I teach biology
to eighth graders.

- Brave man.
- Yeah.

You ever take
the class outside?

Sometimes.

You said on the phone
you wanted to talk to me.

I'm a little confused.

I already gave a statement
to the Military Police.

Well, I'm not with
the Military Police.

I'm a Criminal Investigator.

It's like the difference
between a detective

and a beat cop.

I'm the brains, they're,
well, they're the brawn.

So what do you want
from me, Lieutenant?

I wanted to ask you about
the previous incident.

You reported what you thought
was an attempted burglary

at your sister's apartment
about three weeks ago

when you were visiting.

Can you tell me about that?

I was, um, spending the
night with Fran, on base.

Barry was at his mother's

and Fran was afraid to
be alone that night.

Fran didn't go
with him to his mother's?

Barry's mother wasn't
a big fan of my sister's.

You see, Fran's dream was
to be a wife and a mother

and Thelma just didn't think
that was ambitious enough.

Fran ever say what
she was afraid of?

She was like that ever
since she was a kid.

Anyway, that night, around
midnight the doorbell rang.

I was staying in
the living room,

so I got up and answered it.

I opened the door and there
were two guys standing there,

who looked very
surprised to see me.

- Did you recognize them?
- No.

They weren't wearing
military garb.

They were wearing
jeans and windbreakers.

What did they say?

Nothing, I asked them what
they wanted. They took off.

- That was the end of it?
- Yeah.

I told Barry about it.

I gave him descriptions
of the two guys.

They made drawings
and everything.

He told me that they were
probably just looking

for a new recruit's apartment.

I guess it happens all
the time on the base.

All the housing looks the same.

Do you think it
was those two men

who returned a few days ago?

God help me if it was.

Corporal Phillips, check these
against Presidio personnel,

then run them through NCIC,
San Francisco P.D., FBI.

Match might turn up anywhere.

Is this about the
Capobianco hearing?

Yes.

Okay.

Mrs. Owens?

Warrant Officer
Chandler, Criminal
Investigations Division.

May I speak with
you for a moment?

Certainly.

Let's take a walk.

This is
about Franny, isn't it?

Yes. I heard you
were well-informed.

Oh, you mean you heard
I was the base gossip.

It's okay.

Just between you and me, with
my husband out on maneuvers

as often as he is, I
have little else to do

but to keep track
of the petty crap

that goes on around here.

What I heard was

that you were a
friend of Fran Atkins.

Well, we were the only people
in the building. We talked.

The MP's report says
you didn't hear a thing

the night of the attack.

No, I wish I had.

It was one of those rare
nights that my Glen was home

and he snores like
a freight train.

Where's your husband now?

He just shipped out.

25th Postal Company,
Camp Zama, Tokyo.

It's where I'm headed next week.

- Camp Zama, mama.
- Mm-hm.

Japan, you must be excited.

Oh, Mr. Chandler, when
I first met my husband,

he was stationed at Fort Bragg.

Promised to take me away
from North Carolina,

and what have I seen?

Abilene, Texas. El Paso, Texas.

Fort Worth, Texas.
Tampa, Florida, now here.

San Francisco, the
big time, right?

To a base that's closing.
Buildings empty, falling down.

And as if that
wasn't bad enough,

now we have burglars and
killers runnin' around

and I am afraid to
leave my apartment.

So, yes, I can't wait
to get away from here.

Japan does not matter.

Even Fort Bragg would
look good right now.

What about Fran Atkins,
how did she like it here?

Oh, Franny? Well,
Franny loved it.

She loved being an Army wife.

Sergeant Ken and Barbie is
what we used to call them.

- No fights?
- The usual.

Which would be?

Well, Fran
wanted to start a family and...

Atkins didn't want children?

Yeah, he wanted children.
He just wanted to wait.

He was getting ready
to muster up outta here

at the end of the year.

Fran didn't want to wait.

Seemed like she was
afraid of something.

Did she tell you
what she was afraid of?

Same things that
I was afraid of.

Afraid of being alone
on the base at night.

Worrying if our husbands
were gonna make it home

in one piece.

Do you recognize
either of these men?

No, I've never
seen them before.

Think.

Maybe they were hanging around
or visiting the Atkinses.

No, there's so few people

that come through
here these weeks.

I would definitely remember.

You're gonna find the person
that killed Fran, right?

Yes. I am.

That's, that's what is says
in every single [indistinct].

Hello. This is my
friend Corporal Tucker.

Kathy, this is Warrant
Officer Chandler.

Hi.

It's nice to meet you.

He's the new man

at the Criminal
Investigations Division.

So you better watch your mouth.

I have to get
these drinks back anyways.

It was nice meeting you.

It seems different.

Where's she from?

Utah, I
think. Interested?

I meant, on the base.

Oh, she's a records
officer over at MP HQ. Why?

Thought I saw her
before, that's all.

CID. Always investigating.

So, have you
investigated me yet?

No.

I'm investigating you.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

- Why?
- Well, I'm wondering.

They are transferring all
the personnel off the base

but here you come, big as day,

transferring on for
the last few months.

And I'm just wondering
what makes you so special.

Maybe they sent me here
because I'm not special.

Why don't
we finish our drinks?

I'll introduce you around.

Cheers.

They seem like
small-time operators.

Not like the guys
we had to deal with

when we were
stationed in Germany.

See, those bastards, man.

They, they wouldn't think
about ripping off the base

if the post wasn't closing.

Everything's falling
apart. No order anymore.

Damn straight,
not like it used to be.

What about the operation
in Germany, Sergeant?

- Uh-uh.
- Oh, come on.

I'll tell her.
All right, listen.

We knew there was this
ring selling crystal meth

to enlisted men.

They were tied in with
Berlin's organized crime

but we couldn't prove it.

We had to catch them in the
act, on the airfield. Remember?

Sarge here levels his M9 and
he says, "Military Police!"

And this kid right in front
of him drops his rifle

and takes a dump in
his pants.

So there's three
of you against 10.

Yeah, but we were
only the backup.

Barry went in alone.

Brought them all out
without firing a shot.

Got himself a brand-new
Heckler Koch G36,

mm, a real beauty.

They wouldn't let me
take it back, though.

Sounds exciting.

If any of you don't know,
this is Officer James Chandler.

- Oh, we've met.
- Officer Chandler.

You slumming tonight, brother?

They water down the drinks
at the Officer's Mess.

I thought you knew that.

Thanks.

Sergeant Atkins,
how about we shoot

at something that
can't shoot back?

- You got a game, do you?
- Mm.

All right, rack them up.

How's it hanging, Tiny?

Thanks for the rescue.

I don't think I could have
taken any more cheering up.

- Well, they mean well.
- Yeah, I guess.

So, I heard that you were
an MP down in San Diego.

How are you liking
the promotion?

CID? Less action,
more red tape.

At least, I don't have to
deal with rowdy sailors.

Spent too much time
writing them D's.

How about you? How
are you holding up?

I feel like I'm
watching a movie

with the volume turned down.

I don't know.

It's like I'm seeing everything

but I'm only registering
half of it, you know?

I sure do.

Any leads on the burglaries?

Yeah, they always
happen on a Wednesday.

But not every Wednesday.

So we doubled up
patrols on that night,

but this is a big
base, you know?

It's a big base and I've
only got a few men left.

Did you check
the duty rosters?

Yeah, I checked everyone on
duty and everyone off duty.

Come up empty.

I'm going crazy, I just
know this was an inside job.

Well, that could
be tricky business

investigating your
fellow soldiers.

Don't want to make
any mistakes there.

Yeah, I guess you
would know about that.

Scratch.
- Yeah.

- You break.
- No, you won.

Go ahead, you break.

All right.

So no leads on the thieves,

what about tracing
the stolen property?

They took most of the jewelry,

they've got to
fence it somewhere.

Well, I put together a list

and gave it to our
local pawn shops

but there's like
50,000 pawn shops

in San Francisco, you know.

- I didn't know that.
- There are.

- So, no luck there.
- No, not yet.

These guys are smart.

They can't be that
smart, they're soldiers.

Like you said, they're
not big-time drug dealers,

just petty thieves.

One of them's sure to
screw up eventually.

And when they
do, I'll be there.

Chandler.

Wait up.

Can I walk you home?

Shouldn't I be
walking you home?

Well, normally you should

but seeing as how
you're afraid of women,

the thought of a murderer on
the loose must be paralyzing.

What makes you say
I'm afraid of women?

Well, maybe just afraid of me.

I have been knocking myself out

to let you know that
I am interested,

and you're not responding.

I came out tonight, didn't I?

Was that to see me
or to question Atkins?

Pretty sharp.

Well, I'm a good cop.

Maybe not good enough to
be a detective at CID yet.

Thought you weren't
working this case.

I'm not officially.
Just trying to help.

Hm.

So, what do you think Atkins
knows about his wife's death

that he hasn't told
Captain Donovan

and the rest of his officers?

I think he knows
that the people

who did this might have
really been after him.

Maybe that makes him
feel responsible.

And that's not a good feeling.

That kind of guilt.

Feeling you could have
prevented something like that.

I want to help.

Do you really?

Yeah.

I find the burglars, I
find Fran Atkins' killer.

That's all I want.

You know, you're
kind of sweet.

In a big, dumb, faithful
dog kind of way.

Thanks, I guess.

This is me.

Look, if you need
help, you wanna talk,

call me.

Okay.

Good night.

First robbery, Wednesday,
February 1st. Mostly jewelry.

Third robbery,
March 14th. Thanks.

Men's watches. Fifth
robbery, more men's watches.

Gold chronometer,
north of the base.

Two weeks later, the far
south end of the base.

Enlisted men's apartments.
Enlisted men off base.

Officer's residence.

Lieutenant in San
Francisco for a night out.

Where are you?

Where's the jewelry?

Men's gold chronometer watch.

Where are you?

Yeah, you
should give it back.

Private.

Got a little pawn
action going on?

This? Nah.

It's just some interesting junk

that I sell on consignment, sir.

Guys usually to come in here end

of the month looking for cash.

Before the eagle craps,

things get kinda tight
for the enlisted men.

I hear ya. What
about this watch here?

Is this real gold?
- Couldn't be.

Comes from a buddy of mine.

Got his eye on that
DVD player there.

Who sold it to you?

PFC on the motor pool I know.

He is always got a
lot of stuff for sale.

Where'd he get it?

Trades with other
soldiers around payday.

Tough making it on
a PFC's salary, huh?

Yeah. You got it.

If he's got any more like
this I'd like to meet him.

What's his name?

You MP, sir?

Oh, hell, no. Just
a guy with good taste.

Private Sulway.

Sulway. Thanks.

Get this
truck out of here!

Private Sulway?

You just missed him, sir.
Private Sulway works graveyard.

Hm. Any idea where
I might find him?

You might catch him
over at Kitty's, sir.

That's usually where
they go for breakfast.

Thank you.

I noticed you don't have any
motors in your motor pool.

No, sir.

All the good stuff has already
been shipped to other bases.

All we got is a
few cars, you know,

for officers who need
to get into the city.

I'm gonna need a copy
of your vehicle log

for the last 12 weeks.

If you wish to clear that

with your commanding
officer, I'll wait.

When I got up this morning,

I come out of the
room and I'm naked.

And there's these kids

and they're all over
the place, right.

How many kids? How many kids?

- There was five of them.
- Are you serious?

- Five kids.
- That's what I thought, man.

I'm going, "You're so hot.
How can you have five kids?"

- She is hot.
- She's only 19. How?

No, no, no, no, no.

She's not 19. She's like,
35, but she got five kids.

What are you gonna
do with five kids?

Can you believe
that? I really like her.

What, did you
just take off or what?

I would have been out the door.

- You went home with her.
- The kids-

You woke up in the morning

with five kids crawling
off the ceiling.

Coming out from under the
bed, from in the closet, from-

Excuse me.

Mind if I join you
gentlemen? Are you Sulway?

Yeah. Yeah.

PFC Dwyer and Brooks.

- Do I know you?
- How you doing?

No, no, but I bought
this watch of yours

at the PX yesterday.

The clerk told me
it was a knockoff.

This watch.
- Yeah.

Was there a problem? I
don't do warranty work, man.

That's funny.

No, no, there's no problem.

I just, uh, I
cleaned this baby up

and found that it's worth
much more than I paid.

Solid gold.

- Ouch!
- Gold, huh?

Looks like you took it in
the shorts on that one, Sulway.

Yeah.

So, what, did you come
here to make me feel worse?

No, no, it's just, uh,

he told me you might
have more like this.

No, no, no way.

That's a, I mean,
that's one-time thing.

It's my dad's watch.
I needed the money.

Just too bad he didn't
tell you it was gold.

Maybe you wouldn't
have sold it at the PX.

You know, you're right, Arch.

That's too bad.

But, listen, since I made
out so good on the watch,

the least I can do is
buy you boys breakfast.

So, you guys all in it together?

The graveyard shift.

Yeah, I pulled that once down
in San Diego, latrine duty.

Motor pool must be a
dream at night, huh.

Lots of free time,

especially since all the
vehicles got shipped out.

Well, listen. I gotta go.

Nice to have met you guys.

Thanks for the watch.

What are you doing?

I traded the watch in
exchange for a DVD deck.

There's nothing else for him,
he doesn't know anything.

What? One watch.

Shut up!

Sir, light and
sweet, just like you asked.

Light and sweet, just
like you, chica. Thanks.

I feel bad.
- Why, sir?

Having you bring me coffee.

Oh, I don't mind.

Hey, how's the Capobianco
investigation going?

Check your car
out on a Wednesday

and you get your
quarters robbed.

So that's
why the motor pool.

Yeah.

They are involved definitely.

They know when
you're gonna be gone.

Yeah,
but why Wednesday?

What's so special
about Wednesday?

Why would they
lock up the garbage?

When do they pick up
garbage on the base?

Oh, we put it out
on Wednesday night.

They pick it up on
Thursday morning.

Well, maybe it is that simple.
Who hauls away the trash?

I don't know. The city?

No. We'd have to
use private service.

Security issues and all that.

Base Operations.

This is Chief Warrant
Officer Chandler at CID.

I need the name of the
sanitation company responsible

for container pick up, please.

That would
be Bayside Sanitation, sir.

And how often do they
collect on the Presidio?

Once a week,

every Thursday
morning, 0600 hours.

Thank you very much.

Now I got what I am looking for.

About Staff
Surgeon Capobianco?

Exactly.

Thanks, Phillips.
- No problem, sir.

Officer Chandler.

Corporal.

Is that for me?

Yeah, I guessed I should
have brought something.

Well, you guessed right.

Come on in. I'll
get some glasses.

It's nice.

This is a lot of applications.
San Francisco P.D., LAPD.

Well I didn't study the
code of military ethics

so I could check IDs
at the front gate.

Oh, really? Why did you?

Wanna be a good cop. Not gonna
be in the military forever.

What about you?

Me, I'm just trying
to be a competent cop.

Sedona, Arizona
Sheriff's Department?

That's the one I
hope comes through.

Really? Why is that?

- You ever been there?
- No.

Mm. Northern Arizona.

Hot there?

No. They actually get a
light snow in the winter.

It is the most beautiful
place I have ever seen.

Red rocks, Indian ruins,

and at night you
can see every star

in the galaxy,
even the Milky Way.

You have to go there.

Well, if you make it into
the Sheriff's Department,

I'll come visit you.

To the Sedona, Arizona
Sheriff's Department then.

Hm. Now, why are you here?

Well, uh, you told me to
call on you, if I needed help.

I knew you needed help.

I think that's why I like you.

- Oh, you like me?
- Hm.

Why?

Well, maybe it's my
nurturing instincts.

I could tell the
first time I saw you.

You looked a little lost.

Like you needed help.

- Psychiatric help?
- Maybe.

You get hurt a lot, don't you?

Every time I see you.

Car trouble this time.

Well, I think you need
someone to look out for you.

Make sure that you
don't bang your head.

Sorry, it's been a long time.

Then I'll be gentle.

You know, I'm a warrant
officer and you're a corporal.

We shouldn't be doing this.

No, we shouldn't get caught.

I'm CID, they'd
have to arrest us.

So do you wanna handcuff
me, or should I handcuff you?

Look, I shouldn't
be doing this.

Please, Jimmy.

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy.

I said no.

What is your problem?

I'm sorry, I just don't
like being called that.

Your name?

It's hard to...

I can't explain.
Some bad memories.

I'm not a very nice guy.

Well, then I won't
be a very nice girl.

You're buying
two, Forrester, let's go.

Move it! Move it!

Let's go!

Was it so bad?

No, it was, uh...

It was so good.

Then where are you
going in such a hurry?

I gotta go.

I have to take out the garbage.

Really?

It's nothing. It's a case.

You don't trust me?

That's okay. You
don't have to tell me.

Tara, there is
something I have to tell you.

Something you need to know.

There's no need.

Everybody talks about
the new guy on base.

I know you had some kind of
problem at your old post.

But it doesn't matter.

Just be happy now,

at this moment.

Ghosts can't get you here.

I gotta go.

Boys from the motor pool.

Privates Sulway,
Brooks, and Dwyer.

All in it together.

Well, at least they're punctual.

What's in the bags, boys, huh?

Yeah, Phillips, it's Chandler.

I'm outside the
Bayside Sanitation.

It's 105 River Road.

The three burglary suspects
are confirmed inside

along with at least
two other armed men.

I'm gonna need local
police and MP backup.

Sergeant Atkins and
the MPs. What the?

No!

What have you got?

Man, you know, good stuff.

You always say
that. Open her up.

What are you
boys doing off base?

Who the hell is that?

I certainly hope you signed
out your vehicle properly.

Military Police.
Drop your weapon!

Freeze!
Military Police.

Atkins. Sulway.

He's still alive.

What the hell happened
here, Sergeant?

I got the bastards
who killed my wife.

He killed them.

Give it a rest, James.

I've already called
the Board of Inquiry.

Atkins and his men are
gonna be restricted

to the base till it's complete.

Well, at least one
suspect's still breathing.

He might be able to
tell us what went on.

Why don't you tell me

what were you doing
there last night?

I was following up a lead.

It's not even your case.

It was on my own time.

Look, I think Atkins knew

who these guys were
before last night.

Hey, you, do me
a favor, give up.

It's over. Do you understand?

Sulway opened fire first.
Atkins had no choice.

Not his style.

What does that mean?

You read the record of
Atkins' famous drug bust

when he was
stationed in Germany.

Surrounded by armed suspects,
he brought them in alive.

Alive.
- So what?

So that was different.

This was an execution. He
killed our only witnesses.

He killed the people
who killed his wife,

who were trying to kill him.

You tell me. What
would you have done?

I'd wanna know.

I'd wanna make damn sure I
was shooting the right man,

unless I was damn sure I
was shooting the wrong one.

James.

Keep it quiet.

Sir?

Follow your nose on this.

But from this point on,

any move you make has to be
approved by me in advance.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

Just pick it up, Mum.

It's ridiculous that we can't
eat in a decent restaurant.

My son's a hero. He's being
treated like a criminal.

It's standard
operating procedure.

The inquiry will be over soon

and I'll be able
to leave the base.

When you do, I will
cook you a divine dinner.

To my Barry, the bravest
policeman in the Presidio.

To Fran.

Of course. To Fran.

Kathy, sit by me.

We're celebrating the
fine work of your team.

Mum.

Thank you.

It must have been hairy.

It was a bit of
a bang and clang.

All them garbage cans
made for ricochet hell,

but you know, we
made out all right.

Funny, that's not
the way I heard it.

Did any of them even get
a shot off, Sergeant?

What do you want? Huh?

I've had a rough enough week.

Now you got something
you wanna say to me,

why don't you get it off
your self-righteous chest?

Okay.

I think you're a dangerous,
egocentric, trigger-happy cop.

How do you like them apples?

You know,

I think you're making a
mistake, Officer Chandler.

I'm the victim here,
remember? Victim.

Can't you leave my
son alone? My Lord!

Someone help him find the door.

Baker, sit down.

You know, it's not my problem

that you don't have the
balls to take down a killer.

You know, maybe if you did,

your friend in San Diego
would still be breathing, huh?

Officer.

What did you think you
were you doing in there?

Just trying to shake
some trees. What?

Let Atkins be. He
just wants some closure.

Well, he did a good job of
closing this case, all right.

That's right,
and you know what,

I'm gonna feel safer tonight.

What? Are you mad because
you didn't break it?

This isn't about me. This is
about your friends in there.

I think maybe you're looking

for a little closure yourself.

You don't know
what you're saying.

They
caught the burglars.

But I didn't get
my killer. Not yet.

I don't understand.

I thought they got the
guys that killed Fran.

I know. That's
what they told you.

That she was just
in the wrong place

at the wrong right time.

But I don't believe
that anymore.

I think there's more
to it than that.

You don't have to talk to
me if you don't want to.

It's okay. What
are you looking for?

A reason.

Some reason why someone
would want your sister dead.

Someone, or Barry?

I didn't say that.

You didn't have to.

Was there?

No, there wasn't.

There was something.

What is it, Tom? Was it
about having children?

Fran wanted kids.

She did. She wanted
Barry's kids.

So did he. They couldn't wait.

I thought he wanted to wait.

No, Barry wanted a family.

That's why Fran was so
upset when she found out

she couldn't have children.

What, your
sister? Your sister-

Fran had a, she had a cyst

in her uterus when
she was about 16.

Doctors always told her she'd
probably be able to have kids.

Then her and Barry
started trying

and about six months ago,

doctors told her it
wasn't gonna happen.

I'm sorry.

Did they think about adopting?

Yeah. Barry's hell-bent
on having kids of his own.

It was around then
that Fran got worried.

Paranoid that Barry
would leave her.

Did she ever say anything,

that she was worried that
maybe there was someone else?

Oh, yeah. That's when she
started to feel inadequate.

Fran was a beautiful, smart,

talented, wonderful woman.

Any man would have
been lucky to have her,

and she didn't deserve

to get pushed aside
over something she
had no control over.

Was there someone else, Tom?

I don't know for sure,

but Fran thought it was
one of the female MPs.

Did, uh, did
she say which one?

No, but she said she was
always hanging around him.

You don't think that he-

I don't know
what to think, Tom.

Look, Tara, I wanted to-

ID.

You're clear.

I need to talk to you.

So talk.

Listen, I was a jerk.

And?

And I wanted to
try to explain.

Not apologize?

Yes, apologize and explain.

Well, there's
nothing to explain.

Then I'm forgiven?

Can you drive through,
please? You're blocking traffic.

Cover me.

What?

Look, what is your
relationship with
Sergeant Atkins?

[laughs] That's
quite the apology.

It's important.
I need to know.

You need. What are you asking?

Are Sergeant Atkins
and I lovers? No,
Chief Warrant Officer.

What are you trying to prove?

I think Barry Atkins hired
someone to kill his wife.

Why would Barry
have Fran killed?

Barry wanted
to have children

and Fran couldn't have any.

Then divorce her.

Fran's brother
said that Fran Atkins thought

Barry was having an
affair with a female MP.

And you thought it was me?

I saw the picture
of the two of you.

He was my training officer.

I have never been involved
with Sergeant Atkins.

Good.

So, are you through
accusing me of stuff?

Yes.

Good.

Then who?

Are you asking me to find out?

You want me to spy
on Sergeant Atkins?

Well, you
are a police officer.

You could be wrong about him.

You're right, and if
I am, I'll apologize.

'Cause you're
real good at that.

This is a murder.

I know. I never said
I wasn't gonna do it.

Thank you.

Tara, can I call you later?

My shift's over at 4:00.

Chandler.

Officer Chandler, the
third suspect just died

of his gunshot wounds.

I've got Detective Robert Sayer
on the phone from Houston.

Texas?

Yes.

Says he's got a lead from
that bulletin we sent him.

- Put him on.
- Okay.

This is
Warrant Officer Chandler.

This is
Detective Sayer

of the Houston
Police Department.

You posted a composite of
a home invasion suspect

on the NCIC database
a couple of weeks ago?

Yes.

Well, we got
this boy down here.

Fits your description. We
got him on a rape charge.

Said he came down from your way.

Where is he now?

Got him on three
hots and a cot.

Want to come down
and talk to him?

We're faxing you his info
and his rap sheet now.

Thank you.

Change of plans.

Where are you going?

Texas.

Name's David Raymer.

Got two felony
convictions here in Texas.

One in Houston. The
other one up in Abilene.

Figured he'd get off our
radar, go to San Francisco.

But I guess he got a little
homesick, came back down here,

roughed up a girl in a bar,
raped her and robbed her.

- Nice guy.
- Yeah-huh.

If he gets convicted, it's life.

He'll cooperate. Come on.

Raymer, Warrant Officer
Chandler of the Army.

Behave yourself.

I'll be outside.
- Thanks.

Mr. Raymer, Criminal
Investigations Division

of the United States Army.

It's not that boring.

I'm here to charge
you with murder.

Right.

I didn't kill anybody.

Is that supposed to be me?

Good answer.

It's a pretty bad picture.

I don't know these other
people. Chick's kind of cute.

That's
all you have to say?

I got no reason to help you.

I'm dead to my rights here.

My lawyer's talking to the D.A.

and I don't see you giving
me a plea offer here

unless you're here to enlist
me in the United States Army.

Nice to have met
you, Mr. Raymer.

Do they still have the
death sentence in Texas,

the electric chair, old Sparky?

Or is that Florida?

Hey, wait a minute.

I don't have to
wait for anything.

I can place you at the
scene of a homicide

on the Presidio Army Base.

That's at least
accessory to Murder One.

I didn't do it and
I can prove that.

Really?

Tell me what you know.

We never touched her.

- Who?
- I don't know her name.

I wasn't there the
night they did it.

Who were you with?

This guy. My buddy.

You talk to him.

He'll tell you I wasn't
there the night they did it.

Did what? What did they do?

Guy comes to us. Wants us
to toss this apartment, right?

Chick's supposed
to be there alone.

So when we show up there's
some guy there. So we take off.

Couple of weeks later,

same guy wants to hire
us for the same job.

Double the money.

But I was sick of 'Frisco.

It's too damp.

Look, I don't need the
weather. I need names.

Who hired you and your buddy?

I never talked
to the money guy.

My buddy did that.

All right.
What's your buddy's name?

See, that's the thing. Are
you gonna help me out here?

Give me your buddy's name.
I'll see what I can do.

Dude, I look like
I'm new at this to you?

Look, I'm after who hired you.

If you don't help me,

I'll have the Houston D.A. slap

an accessory to murder charge

on the rap they have you on now.

You got that?

Steve Wilson.

Steve Wilson.

There's probably 1,000 Steve
Wilsons in San Francisco.

Where where would I find yours?

North Beach.

Thanks for playing.

Easy.

So, where's Chandler?

I haven't seen him around
last couple of days.

How would I know?
I'm not his keeper.

Well when you talk to him,
which I'm sure you will,

you tell him to wise up.

Stay out of my business.

And what business
would that be, Sergeant?

You see the uniform
you're wearing?

It's Military Police.

Yeah. Is there a threat
that goes with that?

I could have you
both brought up

with fraternizing charges.

And why exactly
would you do that?

You should be more careful

when you sleep with
a fellow soldier.

You would know.

"Kathy Tucker.

"Request for
voluntary separation.

"Reason for separation.

"Expiration of active duty
commitment and hardship.

"Family emergency retirement.

"Pregnancy."

Fran, you got in the way.

Chandler.

James, it's
Tara. Call me ASAP.

I've got some important info.

Tara, Tara,
are you there? Pick up.

I got your call and I'm
on my way back to town.

I've got to see Major Dawson.

Listen, stay away from Sergeant
Atkins until I get there.

You're kidding me.

I think I got
evidence, real evidence,

that links him to the crime.

Stay away from him.

I don't want you to get hurt.

Who is it?

It's Jimmy.

Jimmy?

I believe Sergeant
Atkins hired someone

to kill his wife while
he had an airtight alibi.

Until you come up with a name,

be very careful
about the accusations

you're making, Warrant Officer.

Sir, what more do you need?

I need some
evidence, James. Jesus!

I've read this Raymer
report. You've got nothing.

You've got a convicted rapist
who's looking for a deal.

Now, I've cut you an
awful lot of slack here.

But you have yet to
produce any evidence

that links Atkins
with the murder.

What about the
general inquiry?

Is Atkins still
restricted to base?

Sergeant Atkins and my
two MPs have been cleared.

How?

The Board of Inquiry
just handed down

its ruling on the shootings.

The soldiers involved
were violent criminals.

Damn, man. Self defense.

No further action.

Unbelievable.

What? There's something
else, isn't there?

Sergeant Atkins' current tour
of duty expires in 72 hours.

He's chosen not to re-enlist.

So in three days he's
gonna walk off this base

and we will never know
who killed his wife?

We know who killed his wife.

And if you're wrong?

Once Atkins leaves
military service,

he cannot be prosecuted by us.

He might be getting
away with murder

and you're just willing
to look the other way.

I'm, James, I'm not
looking the other way.

You've brought me nothing.
I can only go by facts.

Facts. Nothing
more, nothing less.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

This is all my fault. I
should have trusted you.

You couldn't.

I will never make that
mistake with you again.

Hm.

At least I might be able to
get out of here a little early.

Head to Sedona, Arizona.

It wasn't your fault.

It is.

Just like last time.

There's no record.

It's not because
of something I did.

It's because of
something I didn't do.

She was a corporal.
Just like you.

She started living off
base with this captain.

Only after she moved in

she found out he
liked to beat her up

when he drank too much.

So she filed a report

with my office.
- Jimmy. Jimmy, Jimmy!

With me.

But because her
abusive boyfriend was
a superior officer,

my C.O. told me to stay
out of their personal life.

I was a good MP.

I obeyed orders.

And the next time that
he beat her was the last.

I obeyed orders and
she ended up dead.

You did everything you could.

Did I?

Fran Atkins is dead and
you could have been next.

You couldn't stop it.

No.

But I can make it right.

♪ Astroplane

- Wilson?
- Yeah.

You Chandler?
- Yeah.

You called me?

Yeah.

I got a little
problem, you know.

Something to take care
of, you know what I mean?

And I ask around and
I hear you're the man.

You're the man who's
gonna fix me up.

I might be. I know you?

Mm. No.

Get you a beer?

This ain't a date.
How'd you get my number?

Good friend of
yours, David Raymer.

I thought he split.

He did. He's in
stir down in Texas.

Maybe he got fingered, huh?

And he's singing a song
about you and him got hired

to kill a woman on the
Presidio Army Base.

We're done.

Get out of here! Move it!

- Freeze!
- No!

- Go!
- Get him!

Freeze! Police!

You shot me,
you frickin' bastard!

Think I hit the artery.

You got about five minutes
before you bleed out.

You killed me?

Not yet.

Tell me about the
murder, Stevie.

I ain't killed no one.

Now make a call. Call
a frickin' ambulance.

See this? I got
911 on speed dial.

Just tell me first.

Focus, Stevie, focus! Huh?

The hit at the Presidio.
Who hired you to kill her?

I didn't kill
no one.

You're
bleeding bad, man.

Okay, okay, I was there but
I just busted the joint up.

I didn't do the slice and dice.

Look at this. Look at this!

Is this the man who hired you?

Man, no, For Christ's sake,

it wasn't a man, it was a chick.

It was a chick!
Now make the call.

A woman? Describe her.

Man,
she was a real dish.

She was a real
broad, I don't know.

That's all I remember.
She looked good.

Make the call. Goddammit.

Well, I can't
tell you about that.

But it's here.
And it's gorgeous.

Yes. Well, the
colors are seductive.

Good, good morning.
Can I help...

Oh, my God.

My son.

Something's happened to Barry.

Not yet.

For the 8 millionth time,

I don't know what you
are talking about.

I don't know the man
in these pictures.

I didn't do anything wrong.

I have two witnesses
who will testify

you hired them to
kill Fran Atkins

and were present the night
of the actual killing.

Oh, your witnesses?
What are they?

Two known felons who are trying

to get their sentences reduced.

That it?

We're gonna get you
for it, Mrs. Atkins.

Now we might be able to take
the death penalty off the table

if you tell us the whole story.

How did he do it?

Who do what?

Barry. How did he
get you to do it?

Did he just have to ask you?
Did you hate Fran that much?

Go screw yourself.

Mrs. Atkins, we know
your son asked you

to hire the men
to kill his wife.

Help yourself out here.

Maybe he intimidated you
into it, threatened you.

We're going to get Barry.

Barry had nothing
to do with it.

It was all my idea.

I killed her.

I hired this man

to rob the apartment
while I killed Franny.

I'm the one who
did the stabbing.

Where
did you get the knife?

I, um, I took it
from their apartment

when I was over a time before.

I killed her. She was never
good enough for my son.

And
that's your elocution?

Yes.

It was all me. Barry
knew nothing about it.

This is a death penalty
state, Mrs. Atkins.

Are you prepared to
die for your son?

Do you have children,
Officer Chandler?

No.

Then you'd never understand.

The murder
of your daughter-in-law.

Okay. I've got
this worked out.

Yes, it's all right.

Or did you have some
sort of cockamamie idea?

You might have told
me why you did that.

I can't believe it.

If a reduced sentence
couldn't get her to budge,

I don't know what will.

Whether she gives her son up
or not, she dies behind bars.

She thinks she's
given him his freedom.

Crazy woman.

Crazy like a fox.

With her elocution,

I can't bring any charges
against Barry Atkins.

We have no other evidence
linking him to the crime.

What is it with this guy?

How does he get a woman
like that to lie for him?

To be willing to take the
lethal injection for him.

I don't know. Love?

I've never loved
anybody that much.

Let's see if Atkins
loves his mother

as much as she loves him.

Can I help you with that?

I got it.

Tara told me to come.

How is she?

She's hurt, but she'll live.

Honestly, it's you
I'm worried about.

Barry didn't know
anything about it.

How long have you been
seeing the Sergeant, Kathy?

Not until after...

His, um, his wife, you know.

Looks like it worked
out pretty good for you.

That's a hell of a bloodline
you chose to continue.

It is none of your business.

It is, if you're
involved in any way.

Involved in what?

I trust Barry. He didn't
know anything about it.

Well, seems to me,

with the insurance settlement
from Fran's murder,

he could have bought
you a bigger house.

You tell me everything you know

and I'll make sure you
can raise that baby

from this side of prison.

What the hell do
you want from me? Huh?

Barry, no!

Why don't you get
off my property.

Barry, no! Stop!

Relax, I just want to talk.

You want to talk? Huh?

You ruined my family.

What the hell else is
there to talk about?

Come on, baby. I'll
help you with the stuff.

Get out of here.

Your mother's going down
for first degree murder.

Are you really gonna
let that happen?

She confessed, all right?

I never thought

she could have done
something like that, okay?

I mean, I'm, I'm sick about it.

It's, it's a tragedy, but,
but, I can't help her now.

You can help keep a
needle out of her arm.

How's that? Huh?

What, by saying that I put
her up to it? I didn't.

So she just did this for you.

Look, she was a
rotten mother, okay,

by anybody's standards.

After my old man left,

she just wanted to
party all the time.

All right?

There, there was just one guy
in the house after another.

And after about 10,
I gave up on the fact

that any of those guys was
gonna be my new father.

Then I didn't have a
father or a mother.

So, maybe somewhere
in her sick mind,

she thought she was helping me.

All on her own?

Mother always did
everything all on her own.

She, she couldn't have
cared less what I wanted,

or, or, what was
going on with me.

It was always all about her.

Are you really gonna let
your mother die for you?

Look, she killed
Fran. I loved her.

She can burn.

And you? You can
get off my property.

Are you really gonna
let your mother die for you?

Look, she
killed Fran. I loved her.

She can burn.

Barry asked me
to hire a hit man

to kill Fran.

They failed miserably.

So I had to go along

and do it myself.

Barry told me where, when

and even gave me a
knife from their kitchen

so it would look like

she caught the robbers

in the act.

You just don't
know when to quit, do you?

I quit
when I get justice.

You call harassing me justice?

You asked me to meet
you here, I'm here. Why?

You set up Sulway
and the other burglars.

You used their M.O. to
make your wife's death

look like a bungled robbery.

And with your alibi, no
one would ever suspect you.

- No one did.
- Except me.

Are you gonna
get to the point, Chandler?

You followed me.

You knew I was going
to track them down,

and you knew that
if I arrested them

it would become clear that
they hadn't killed your wife.

So you had to kill them first.

Wow,
that sounds risky.

Yeah, but you
had a lot at stake.

And it wasn't really
that risky, was it?

Because you'd done it
before, in Germany,

when you took down that
drug ring single-handed.

I wasn't here alone. My
entire squad was with me.

Not at first. I mean,
what did you tell them?

Let me have a crack
at them first?

To not come in unless
they heard shooting?

Then you just did
what you did before.

Only this time, you
started a firefight.

I mean, hell, man, you even
used the same assault weapon

you took off the Germans

and then snuck back
here illegally.

Oh, don't even think
about it. It's not loaded.

Well, you've proven one thing.

That you have a very
vivid imagination.

That is quite a story, Chandler.

It's just unfortunate
that in about four hours,

I will no longer be
in the U.S. Army,

and you will never get anyone
on the base to believe you.

I just need your men
to believe me. Do you?

What the
hell's going on, Donovan?

You tell me, Sergeant.

Well, Captain?

Barry Atkins, you
are under arrest

for the murder of your wife.

What? Based on what?

That fairytale you just told?

You can't prove
that. None of it.

Oh, no? Your mother
had a change of heart.

She didn't realize how much
you appreciated her sacrifice.

She made a full confession.

A real confession
this time. It's over.

- Don't do it, Sergeant.
- No, go for it.

Go for it!

In cuffs or a body bag, it
makes no damn difference to me.

Put it down, Barry.

Don't go out like this.

Sergeant Barry Atkins,

under the military code
of criminal justice,

you're under arrest for
the murder of Fran Atkins.

Get him out.

Well?

He almost got away with it.

Almost.

I'm so sorry you got hurt.

I forgive you.

Thanks.

Do you forgive you?

Yeah.
