[music playing]

[moaning]

It's always so good with you.

With you, too.

I wish it was always like this.

Well, it could be, you know,
if you would just leave Betty.

Oh, please, Astrid.

Let's not go through that again.

You know I can't.

Yes, I know.

Oh, my God.

Look at what time it is.

I have to be at the
prison in one hour.

You think they'll release him?

I have a lot riding on it.

I'm almost certain they will.

Then let the games begin.

ASTRID: Tony Fielding reinvented
himself while in prison.

He became a gifted,
compassionate writer.

He now has a secure
job waiting for him

on the outside as a junior
editor of Whitburn Publishing.

Mr. Fielding will not
become a burden on society,

but an asset to it.

Now, I've supplied you all
with a soon-to-be-released

copy of his book.

I ask you, please,
just read the book.

And I thank you in advance for
your careful consideration.

Thank you, Miss Sinclair.

But perhaps we should hear
from the saint himself.

Mr. Fielding?

I know I've done wrong.

And I'd like to do what
I can to make it right.

But if you don't
think I'm ready,

I'd be the last one to argue.

I can spend another three
years here if you want.

And I know I deserve
every last day.

Very touching, Mr. Fielding.

But I have a major problem with
your making a huge profit off

of a book based on your crime.

Mr. Fielding's contract
with Whitburn Publishing

stipulates that
any profits that he

accrue be donated to charities.

I see.

All right, then, is there
anyone present who would object

to this prisoner's release?

RITA: Yes, I do.

PAROLE BOARD HEAD: And you are?

My name is Rita Lance.

I'm a homicide
detective with the Palm

Beach Police Department.

I was Tony Fielding's
arresting officer.

Please continue.

Tony Fielding was a gigolo
who preyed on distraught women.

He swindled Palm Beach
widows out of $2 million

over a period of three years.

Four of them, he severely beat.

And the last one, he
bludgeoned with his fists.

He attacked me when I
tried to arrest him.

And I had to shoot him in
the leg to save my life.

Everything Detective
Lance says is true.

And I'm sincerely sorry.

I am here to ask you to
please keep this psychopath

behind bars where he belongs.

I'm surprised somebody
with your brains

would allow Fielding
to con you like this.

I happen to believe people
can change, Miss Lance.

I also happen to believe
in Tony Fielding.

Be careful, Miss Sinclair.

Tony Fielding is a
very vicious man.

He has killed before and I
think he's going to kill again.

Next time it could be you.

Excuse me.

[theme music]

Yeah, Steve, it's Chris.

You find any prints?

None?

Damn.

Hey, Sam, what about the
fibers from her hair?

You're kidding.

Yeah, OK.

Keep trying, man.

We're back to square one on
the Pendergrass shooting.

Gun was wiped clean, the fibers
from her hair were synthetic.

Could've come from any place.

What difference does it make?

We put him away and
they let them out.

Ooh, in a good mood
this morning, are we?

Take a look at this.

Do you think he's
going to come after you?

If he does, I will set
my sights higher this time.

I don't believe this.

What have you got?

Simon Marks, President
of Whitburn Publishing

cordially invites Rita Lance
and guest to a coming out

reception for Tony Fielding?

You've got to be kidding me!

9th day of April, 1993 at
7 o'clock in the evening.

You're not going, are you?

No, I'm not going.

I don't know why
they even invited me.

Of course, if I did go, I would
have a really hard time not

raining all over his parade.

Probably ruin
his whole evening.

It probably would.

So, uh, who's your
guest going to be?

Who do you think?

ASTRID: To your long
and very bright future.

Couldn't have done
it without you, kid.

Oh, you did all
the work, Tony.

I'm just glad I was
in a position to help.

[choking]

Maybe you'd better sip that.

We have a pretty long
evening ahead of us.

Yeah, I guess so.

It's my first scotch
in seven years.

I'm sure you have quite a
few firsts still ahead of you.

There's something else I
haven't done in seven years.

And right now, I'm as ready
as a salmon swimming upstream.

Easy, Tony.

I think you have a few
dams to jump before you

reach a spawning pool.

Can't blame a guy for trying.

[music playing]

All right.

Now, how are we
going to work this?

I mean what's the routine?

Am I going to have to work
with butterfly net or what?

No!
No, no, no.

I'm just going to have a
quiet little word with him,

let him know that
he's back on my turf,

and he had better
watch his step.

Right.

Get the butterfly net.

Ah, and who might you be?

I am Rita Lance.

And this is--

Of course.

So glad you could come.

This is Chris Lorenzo.

I am your host,
Simon Marks, President

of Whitburn Publishing.

If you don't mind my
asking, what am I doing here?

I mean, Mr. Fielding
and I are not

exactly on the greatest terms.

Well, isn't it obvious?

You played a major part in
the Tony Fielding story!

Simon, introduce me to
your attractive friends.

This is Rita Lance.

She was Tony's
arresting officer.

And--

And who might this be?

This is her guest, Chris--

Lorenzo.

Chris Lorenzo.

Betty Whitburn-Marks.

So nice to meet you.

Pleasure to meet you, too.

Oh, my.

He's beautiful.

Our man of the hour.

If you'll excuse us.

Sure.

Stunning household.

That's the first time I've
been picked up in one breath

and blown off in the next.

Tony!

I've heard so much about you.

I've never met a gigolo before.

Forgive my wife's
bizarre sense of humor.

A woman this beautiful
can be forgiven anything.

Uh, come on.

Let's go check the place out.

Ladies and
gentlemen, I give you

the author of
Whitburn Publishing's

next bestseller, "Crime of
Love", Anthony Fielding.

Hi, Tony.

I'm Brie Fallon, PPTV.

So what's it feel like
to be out of prison?

Well, it feels pretty good.

A little bit scary.

None of it would have happened
without the help of Mr Marks.

I had very little
to do with it, really.

Was Astrid Sinclair's
unshakable and persistent

belief that turned the key.

If anyone needs to
mount a campaign,

she's the lady to call.

A campaign isn't
all she mounts.

SIMON MARKS: Now, Mr.
Fielding will chat informally

about his personal
experiences and be

happy to autograph your
pre-publication copies

of "Crime of Love".

[crowd applauding]

How can they treat him like
some kind of returning hero?

Nothing but the money, honey.

You know, I think
this was a bad idea.

Let's get out of here.

I don't want any part of this.

What do you think?

Should we pay our
respects before we leave?

Sorry, I am fresh
out of respect.

Let's go.

Would you excuse me?

Excuse me.

It's the Jeep!

Oh, you're leaving so soon?

That's OK with me.

You wouldn't have
made my A list.

Well, you know which one
of my lists you're on, Tony.

So why'd you come?

Just wanted you to know I
have your parole officer's phone

number.

You even wink at a widow and
I'm hitting my speed dial.

You'll be back to doing
laundry, where you belong.

- You got that, Tony?
- Who are you?

I'm the guy that would have
put the bullet in your head

instead of your leg.
- Ooh.

One wrong step, Tony.

Enjoy your party.

- Tony!
- Hey, how you doing?

Max Horowitz.

I got a gut feeling that
your life story would

be natural for network TV.

And I'm talking big
budget, top director.

Maybe even get Kevin Costner
to cross over and play you.

- What do you mean, network TV?
- OK.

No problem.

If the material is too graphic,
we can always go to cable.

Either way, you stand
to make a bundle-issimo.

Well, that's nice.

But right now, I
can't make a profit.

No, no, that's
just on the books.

It works different on the coast.

I mean, you're
talking to the men who

put Blairwood Slasher
MOWs on all three networks

in the same week.

Trust me, Tony.

We can make a lot
of money together.

Max, get your thumb out
of my author's windpipe.

Tony, got a lot of people
I want you to meet.

[door opening]

Tired of pressing
the flesh, huh?

Yeah.

I bet there's one kind of
flesh you haven't pressed yet.

I'll bet you're right.

You want to change that?

No!

Not here.

There's a table in the pantry.

We're running
low on cheese log.

Now get out there with the
guests where you belong.

Yes, ma'am.

Your timing's almost as
good as your sense of humor.

I didn't mean to
ruin your fun, Tony.

But if anybody's going to get
a crack at you, it sure as hell

isn't going to be the help.

Come again?

You haven't had any
in seven years, right?

Yeah.

And right now, I'm feeling
all 2,555 days of it.

That's very exciting.

What about your husband?

Your benefactor?

I'm his benefactor.

You want me to go
ask his permission?

I get the feeling you don't
ask him about much of anything.

You got that straight.

I hear there's a
table in the pantry.

No.

No?

Tomorrow, when we've got
the house to ourselves.

[music playing]

[footsteps]

Go ahead, Tony.

You give me a reason
to blow your head off.

You know, I thought
you were smart enough

to stay the hell away from me.

Hey!

Hey, relax, OK?

You have nothing to worry about!

You're about the only
female mammal on this planet

that I wouldn't
jump on right now.

Look, I was out of
line at the party.

I'm sorry.

I just wanted to talk to you.

You have nothing to
say that I want to hear.

Why don't you just back
off and give me a chance?

I'm not going to hurt nobody!

That Tony Fielding
died a long time ago.

Yeah, so did the woman at
the bottom of the stairs.

Hey, there's nothing I
can do to bring her back!

I did the crime.
I did the time.

Now I just want to get on
with the rest of my life.

Look, I caught a big break
with this book thing.

Can't you just cut me
a little room here?

Oh, sure.

Yeah.

You take one step over that
line and you're going to be

right back in that little room.

Why do you hate me so much?

Because I saw what
you did to that woman.

And I know what you
would have done to me.

You got them fooled,
don't you, Tony?

All but one.

And I'm going to be
standing right there

cheering when you go back in.

I'm going to prove you wrong.

I doubt that.

[music playing]

What, no goodbye kiss?

Mwah.

I didn't want to disturb you.

I'll probably be late.

Astrid and I have to work
on the talk show schedule.

I want you to fire her.

Today.

What?

I don't care if you're
making it with her,

but I'll be damned
if my father's

company is going to pay for it.

What are you talking about?

All these late nights.

The room you keep at the
Atlantic Vista hotel.

That so-called booksellers
convention in St.

Kitts last month.

I could go on.

I don't know where you
get your information from.

From a PI I hired
six months ago.

I got pictures that would
curl Sinead O'Connor's hair.

She's out of Whitburn
Publishing today.

She's a major asset!

We stand to make millions
from the Fielding project!

Astrid goes and you're only
losing a major piece of asset.

You lose me, you
lose everything.

Have an interesting day.

Now, a print on
the fridge matches

Pendergrass's brother-in-law,
but he was legitimately

there yesterday, OK?

Now also, we got a
break with the gun.

There's serial number might
have been scratched off,

but with the stress
X-ray, we might

be able to pull a
match up of Jimmy

Hoffa's fat butt, which would
be found underneath your desk.

Are you with me so far?

Mm-hmm.

Uh, case 7952
to Rita Lee Lance.

Hello?

Anybody home?

I'm sorry.

What?

Come on, Rita,
we're behind on this.

I need a little help.
- I know!

I am sorry.

I just cannot get
Fielding out of my mind.

It's not right that he is out.

He's going to hurt somebody.

You did your job and
that's all you can do.

Come on, what are you going
to be, his personal cop

for the rest of your life?

No.

Besides, there are guys a hell
of a lot tougher than Fielding

that got out a lot earlier.

You've got to let it go.

I am trying to, believe me.

It's just-- it's been
seven years and I

still cannot shake
the look in his

eyes when he almost killed me.

I saw a flash of it again
today in the garage.

Come on, Rita.

You did your job.

The system is doing its job.

It's time to move on.

Besides, we got a
fresh killer to catch.

And the system hasn't even
had a crack at this guy yet.

You're right.

Enough is enough.

So, have you found anything new
about the print on the fridge?

What?

What?

SIMON MARKS: Beth has
had a PI following us.

She knows.

That bitch.

I can't believe it.

She's given me an ultimatum.

What kind of an
ultimatum, Simon?

Can't you guess?

So what am I
supposed to do, Simon?

Just pack up my things and
forget about the 10 years I've

invested into this company?

Look, I'm sure we can come
to an arrangement on the side--

I don't want some
arrangement on the side!

I worked my way up
from copy editor.

I earned my name on
that door out there!

I personally guided
10 of those books

onto the Best Seller list, and
I'm supposed to just walk away

from that because your
nymphomaniac wife has

a double standard?

Is that it?

No!

It's because she
owns the company.

She divorces me and neither
of us will have a job.

I really thought you loved me.

I do, very much.

But she's got me between
a rock and a boulder.

What do you suggest I do?

I don't know!

I don't know.

Please don't.

Don't.

All right?

I really need to be alone
right now, if you don't mind.

Where have you been?

I've been waiting
for over an hour.

Well, I had something I
had to try to take care of.

Yeah?

Well I've got something.

I'm dying for you to
try to take care of.

I'll do my best.

Oh, I know you will.

[music playing]

So?

How about it?

Are you up to it?

No, not yet.

Come on, Tony.

Get with it.

Hey, what do you want from me?

More.

More?

This will be the fourth time.

Well, I'd hardly
count the first two.

And I'm just getting warmed up.

I'm sorry, but
I can't keep up--

Yeah.

You are sorry.

I thought you were supposed
to be this hot swordsman.

What does it take with you?

Money?

Is that how it
works with you guys?

Do you think I could get what
I need for a couple of grand?

OK, you've got me hustled.

I'll give you two grand.

Now earn it.

I can't.

Gentleman gigolo?

What a joke.

My pool man's got more staying
power and he's in his 50s.

You got some mouth on you.

Yeah?

Well, at least my
equipment works.

Hey!

[music playing]

Sent forensics when
the call came in.

Definitely looks
like Fielding's work.

Could be.

According to the
maid, he and Betty

had themselves a little
interlude this afternoon.

Looks like he clocked
her with his dumbbell.

I tried to tell
everyone, Chris.

Yeah.

So we know where he is now?

Nope.

Nobody knows.

But I've got the maid
downstairs in the kitchen.

And her husband, Simon
Marks, is in the den.

Why don't you go ahead
and tackle the maid?

I'll go talk to him.

All right.

And then he came
out of her bedroom.

And what was his attitude?

MAID: He was furious.

I don't blame him.

She emasculated him.

Did you hear her scream?

Any kind of commotion at all?

No.

Do you usually
listen at doors?

Sometimes.

Did you see Tony again
after the argument?

No.

I was visiting
with the pool man.

CHRIS: And where were
you this afternoon, sir?

At the office.

Then I had a
dentist appointment.

I was there when
my secretary called

and told me what happened.

Do you have any idea who was
on the property at that time?

The maid, the pool man, I
suppose, and Tony Fielding.

Tony Fielding?

You know for a fact that
Tony Fielding was here?

It's certainly a guess.

He was living here.

I encouraged him to
take the week off

until he assumed his duties
with Whitburn Publishing.

Where is he right now?

I don't know.

Mr. Marks?

Are you aware that your wife
may have had sex with Tony

this afternoon?

That doesn't surprise me.

Why not?

You had to know Betty.

She had appetites that--

well, I couldn't
keep up with them.

That make you jealous, sir?

In the beginning.

[door opens]

After a while, I
just looked away.

Simon, I'm so sorry.

I just found out.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I still can't believe it.

Oh, do they have
any idea who did it?

They think it might be Tony.

Tony?

Yes, Tony.

Guess you got off
easy this time, huh?

How could I have been
so wrong about him?

Are you sure?

Yes, Miss Sinclair.

I was sure before you
got him out of prison.

According to the
maid, Betty nuked

his manhood when he couldn't
perform up to her standards.

Every man's nightmare,
but people don't

usually kill because of that.

Yeah, we're talking
about Tony Fielding here.

It might have just been enough
to push him over the edge.

What do you say we go ask him?

What's going on?

Where you been, Tony?

I took a ride on the bike
path around Lake Worth.

I had some thinking to do.

What, about Mrs. Marks?

Yeah, among other things.
Why?

What's going on?

Now you're going to go
for another ride, Tony.

Come on.

Of course my prints
were in the bedroom.

I've already told you a dozen
times I had sex with her

this afternoon.

She busted your hump
about it, too, didn't she?

Yes.

Yes, OK?

Yes.

If I remember
correctly, you had

a violent argument
with the woman

that you killed seven years ago.

It's because she didn't think
you were worth the money.

She refused to pay you.

Did Betty refuse to pay you?

No.

Oh, so she did pay you!

No, I don't do that anymore.

Not for money.

Well, the maid says she
overheard her offer you $2,000.

I didn't take it.

So why did you kill her, then?

I didn't kill her!

Oh, I think you did.

All right, look.

I'll admit I came about this far
from punching her lights out.

It took everything inside
of me not to belt her.

But I got a grip on it.

And when I left that
room, she was alive.

What did you do when
you left the bedroom?

Back to my room.

I collapsed.

I was exhausted and
I'd been drinking.

When did you wake up?

About an hour later.

Is that when you went
for your bike ride?

Yeah.

I needed to clear my head.

When Mr. Marks came
home, I was going to tell

him I wanted to move out.

Why?

Because his wife stir fried
your precious male ego?

Well, I wasn't going
to put it that way.

Look.

At this point, I must insist
that you either charge

my client or release him.

Oh, we'll charge him.

Uh, Rita--

With what?

Motive, opportunity, and MO.

Really?

I'd love to be a
mouse in the corner

when you try to sell
that to George Donovan.

He is a convicted
killer, George.

He was making it
with Betty Marks.

She took his ego off at the
knees and he beat her to death.

That is his MO and that's
why he was in prison.

There's no physical evidence!

Look, I can't file on suspicion!

It's a legal thing, remember?

It's almost a copycat killing
of what he did last time.

You couldn't invent
a better patsy.

I don't need to invent one!

I've got Tony Fielding!

You know, maybe your
personal feelings are clouding

this a little for you, Rita!

And maybe you're
being a little too

cautious because you're
running for district attorney.

- You know, that is a crock--
- Ho!

Ho!

Look, let's just slow down and
take this from another angle.

Somebody wanted to get
rid of Betty Marks, right?

Now, ruling out a crime of
passion, what's the next rule?

I don't know.

George, are you sure about this?

I'm sure there's not
a prosecutable case

against Fielding.

And I'm not going
to file a bad case!

You won't be filing any
cases out of homicide, Donovan.

Roy Conroy put me in charge
of your entire caseload,

said he wants a more aggressive
profile for the DA's office

down here.
- What?

He can't do that!

Oh, he can do that.

He's your boss, remember that.

And he's reassigning you to
prosecute delinquent taxpayers.

That ought to look great
on your campaign profile.

Not on your life, Weems.

I'm going to fight this!

Now, uh, what's with this
indictment we're bringing?

None at this time, Mr. Weems.

The case isn't ready yet.

We'll be in touch.

I still can't
believe she's gone.

Don't tell me you
actually miss her.

No, but it must have
been such a horrible death.

I'm so sorry.

I mean that.

Are you?

That she's gone?

No.

No, not really.

Sorry that I could have been
so wrong about Tony Fielding.

I feel somewhat responsible
for all of this.

But you couldn't
have foreseen this.

No, I know that.

It's just that I've--

I've never misjudged
someone so badly before.

There is one positive
aspect to all of this

now that she's gone.

We'll be able to take our
relationship and Whitburn

Publishing to new heights.

Do you believe this?

They think I killed your wife!

You have a nerve
showing up here.

What?

Why aren't you in jail?

They had to cut me loose.

They didn't have
enough to hold me.

That doesn't change the fact
that you slept with my wife.

Now get your things
and get out of here.

Well, I was planning to, but--

Then do it!

And for your information,
I'm suspending

publication of your book.

Suspending publication?

You made a fool out of me!

I mean, the press are
having a field day!

Astrid?

We were in your corner, Tony.

How could you do this to us?

But I didn't!

Please don't.

I don't want to hear it.

Get out.

Get out!

Before I call the police!

I should have
stayed in the joint.

It was a better class
of people in there.

[music playing]

Julie, hi.

Listen, I hate to
ruin your day off,

but I need to ask
you a few questions.

What is it like being a
part of the Marks household?

It's like trying to have a
picnic on the end of a runway.

Meaning?

Meaning screaming
matches, slamming doors.

They were always at
each other's throats.

When was the last time
you heard them argue?

Yesterday morning.

You remember what they
were fighting about?

She accused him of having
an affair with Astrid.

She said that she had pictures,
and if he didn't fire her,

that she would divorce him.

OK.

Enjoy the rest of your day off.

It was a far from
perfect marriage.

Any of my friends could
have told you that.

I suppose they already have.

Did she threaten to divorce
you the day she was murdered?

She threatened to divorce
me three times a week,

Sergeant Lorenzo.

The past few years, our
marriage was little more

than an arrangement.

Sorry she died the way she did.

She was a terrible person,
but she didn't deserve that.

This have anything
to do with why she

threatened to divorce you, sir?

We found them in
her desk drawer.

SIMON MARKS: Yes.

CHRIS: She issued you an
ultimatum, didn't she?

- Yes.
- And then you fired Astrid?

Yes.

What was her reaction?

She was stunned and hurt,
more than a little angry.

I want to know what her
physical reaction was.

Did she cry?
Did she throw things?

Did she pack her office?
What--

Oh.

She just said she wanted to
be left alone for a while.

Then she left.

What time was that?

Sometime around noon.

An hour before
Betty was killed.

You can't think Astrid had
anything to do with this.

Yes, sir, I can.

Her job was on the line.

Yeah, but she's brilliant.

She can catch on with
any major publisher.

Whose idea was it to have Tony
Fielding move into your house.

Astrid's.

But I went along with it.

At the time, it seemed
like a good PR ploy.

Was she in love
with Tony Fielding?

No.

Why not?

She went to a lot of trouble
to get him out of jail.

Fielding was just a project.

She's in love with me.

Was she in love enough to
try to save both your jobs?

I don't know.

Where is she?

She wanted the day off.

Thank you, sir.

[music playing]

Wait a second.

There she goes.

Let's follow.

RITA: There they are.

But why doesn't
this surprise me?

Maybe they're in
it together, hm?

I don't want to talk about it.

You don't think I
know what's going on?

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

Take it easy!

Take it easy.

So now you believe me?

Yeah, you told me so.

What's going on, Tony?

Nobody ever believed in
me before she came along.

You sure have a strange way
of showing your appreciation.

No kidding.

This whole thing was a scheme.

Don't you see that?

I know I didn't kill Betty.

So I got to thinking,
she's the only one

that could have set me up.

What the hell are
you talking about?

You know you did it!

No, you did.

That's why I wanted to meet
with her, tell her I knew!

Only she started
handing me all this

how disappointed
she was in me crap.

Well, I just kind of blew.

Just kind of, huh?

You know, I think I
knew the truth last night,

when I saw her and
Simon Marks sitting

by the fire, all nice and cozy.

Probably talking
about how she wants

to redecorate the mansion.

ASTRID: You are so wrong.

Yeah, wrong to trust you!

Wrong to think you cared
about turning my life around.

She just wanted
Betty out of the way,

so she could move in on Simon.

Or maybe they were
both in on it together.

That is not true.

That's not true?

You going to deny you had
an affair with Simon Marks?

Let's cut the crap.

We saw the pictures.

RITA: Very explicit pictures.

We've been together for
about three years now.

He fired you yesterday.

He had no choice.

Maybe you had no choice.

You wanted to save
your career, your job.

I didn't get
where I am because I

slept with Simon Marks.

I got there because I
take risks and I'm good!

That doesn't mean
I killed Betty.

There were times when
I wished her dead.

I admit that.

But I am not capable of
killing another human being!

I was at the company
library all afternoon.

You can check it out.

We will.

It had to be you.

You're awful quick to throw
your protege to the dogs.

Wait a minute.

One day out of the joint and
I'm going to kill someone?

Look, maybe nobody believes
me, but I'm trying real hard

to put all that crap behind me.

Fine.

So if it wasn't
either one of you,

then it had to be Simon Marks.

No, it couldn't
have been Simon.

Why not?

Well, in the
first place, I don't

think he has enough courage
to do something like that.

And, um--

And?

It means Simon has been
planning this for the last year

and using me to set Tony up.

I'm sorry.

[scoffing]

Yeah, me too.

At least I wasn't
wrong about you.

What, are you kidding me?

Look at you, Astrid.

Assault is a definite
parole violation.

You are going in.

I'm not pressing charges.

I don't blame Tony for this.

I blame Simon.

He used all of us.

You buying any of this?

One way to find out.

Well, it's all been like a
horrible nightmare right now.

No comment at this time.

My God!

What happened to you?

Tony beat me up.

I think he wanted to kill me.

Tony?

But-- bastard.

He thinks you and I
killed Betty and framed him.

That bastard!

He's demanding
$25,000 within the hour

or he'll go to the police.

No, I'm going to the police.

No, don't!

Please.

Please, listen.

If we deliver the money to him,
he promised he'll jump parole

and we'll never
hear from him again.

Well, that's ridiculous.

It's not.

When it happened, it made me
realize that he was half right.

You killed her, didn't you?

What?

Please don't deny it.

I've had enough
betrayal for one day.

You think I killed her?

I know you killed her.

And Tony will go to the police.

Now, I know I can
pass a polygraph test.

Can you?

TONY (OVER RADIO): I hope to
hell you guys can hear me.

RITA: Here they come.
- All right.

Here we go.

[music playing]

[camera shutter clicking]

You two conniving
bastards bring my money?

Yes, Tony.

It's all right here.

Well, let's see it.

I don't trust you--

either one of you.

I suppose I can't
blame you for that.

But until you beat her,
Astrid was on your side.

She had nothing to do with it.

You expect me to believe that?

When she first brought up the
idea of publishing your book,

I remember the
Mahler-Abbott debacle.

I knew you and Betty
were made for each other

and I could find a way to
blame her murder on you.

Just about nailed his coffin.

The both of you
should rot in hell.

Now where's my money?

Sorry, Tony!

Hey!

You wouldn't be in
this mess if you didn't

sleep with other men's wives!

Tony, run!

You're setting me up!

[gunshot]

Drop it!

[gunshots]

ASTRID: Tony, is he OK?

You're all right.

You all right?

It's OK.

It's OK.

So much for the
perfect crime, Simon.

Thanks for the vest.

I owe you.
- Yeah.

CHRIS: Go ahead it.

I want-- I want to have
one of those little dimples

in the middle, OK?

Hey, George, what's happening?

Hey, stranger.

Howdy.

Just thought you'd like to know
Simon Marks has been indicted

for murder in the first degree.

Well, I hope your man
Weems can handle it.

Yeah, well, he's no George
Donovan, that's for sure.

How you doing?

Eh, losing sleep, no
appetite, gaining weight.

Besides that, fine.

But I appreciate your asking.
- Sure.

[phone ringing]

Sergeant Lance?

George, what's
up with the career?

You going to run for DA?

Yeah, at this point, I only
have two ways to have a career.

Win the election, and that'll
be tough, or what would be worse

would be to drop out
of the race and spend

the rest of my life
sucking up to Roy Conroy

till he decides to retire.

That would be really tough.

So which way are you leaning?

Today or yesterday?

Today.

I honestly don't
know at this point.

Well, look, I got
to get out here.

A lot of evil tax
evaders to prosecute.

Hang in there.

RITA: I'll let you know.
- Talk to you.

Bye.

Thanks.

Well, that was Astrid.

She finally got Tony Fielding a
publisher for "Crime of Love".

And?

And he's going to write a new
book on the Simon Marks case.

He wants to interview us.

Seriously?

Mm-hmm.

Well, you going to do it?

Uh, I think I will.

So, Sam, does this
mean that you changed

your mind about Tony Fielding?

No, not exactly.

I don't think he's dealt
with his problem yet.

The rage or whatever
else it is that was

inside of him that made
him commit those crimes,

that's still there.

But I'm willing to
give him a chance.

Maybe by writing about it, it
will help him get rid of it

and get a handle on his life.

Well, I hope so.

Yeah, me too.

Know what?

I'm taking you to lunch.

You're taking me to lunch?

You're damn right, I am.

A lobster dinner on me.

Well, I'm not going
to pass that up.

- How's the tie?
- It's great.

Come on!
