[music playing]

I see your limo's waiting.

Don't start with me, Ellie.

I thought you weren't
going to do this anymore.

It's not like I
have a big choice.

Well, you could
always refuse, Marcie.

I did.

It's a little
too late for that.

Why don't you just say no?

Save it for the Republicans.
I've got to go.

Well, forgive me if I don't
wake up with the first aid kit.

You know, Ellie?

You can be a real
pain in the butt.

You're late.

When'd you learn
how to tell time?

Mr. Riker's going to be angry.

When isn't he?

Ha.

[music playing]

SINGER: [vocalizing]

NARRATOR: Once you cross
the bridge into Palm Beach,

you enter a world of
wealth, power, and twice

a day trash collection.

On the surface, it looks
like a perfect world,

but Marcie Ridlin knew better.

for her, a trip
across the bridge

was always a trip to hell.

What she didn't
know was this time

she wouldn't be coming back.

Mr. Riker's waiting
for you in the Jacuzzi.

Why isn't it ever the library?

Oh, I bet you're some
kind of bedtime story.

One you'll never get to read.

Nice, Marcie.

Real nice.

Oh.

Real nice.

Come on down.

Ah!

Vince!

Oh!

I-- stop!

You're hurting me!

Vince!

Oh!

[gasping]

[music playing]

He's right over there.

All right.

Thanks.
- What's up?

Late night?

I don't want to talk about it.

Oh, the stock broker was
not a bed of roses, was he?

You know, if I could buy
men for what they're worth

and sell them for what
they think they're worth,

I could retire.

That bad, huh?

I said I don't want
to talk about it.

So what do we have?

The same thing
we've been getting.

Floater washes up
in the morning tide.

Contusions, abrasions
around the neck.

ME puts the time of
death somewhere right

before midnight.

You know, that's the third
one in the last 90 days.

Yeah.

We're not going to be
able to link this one up

until the ME examines her
lungs for chlorinated water,

checks to see if
she was sodomized.

No ID, of course.

I've seen this woman before.

You're kidding me.

Where?

I don't know.

I'll check my files.

CHRIS LORENZO: Same
MO as the other two.

What we've got here is somebody
who is into very tough love.

Yeah.

Chlorinated water in the lungs?

Well, we haven't
gotten ME's report yet,

but it wouldn't be a surprise.

CAPTAIN HARRY: Listen, if
I took a Darvocet, even

though it's past
the expiration date,

do you think it
would still work?

Say what?

Oh, it's this damn
spastic colon of mine.

It's killing me.

Excuse me, Captain Lipschitz.

It's your wife on line two.

Oh.

Yeah.

Hi, Franny.

FRANNY (ON PHONE): Hi, doll.

The operator said you
were in there with someone

with the door closed.
- Come on.

I always got time for you.

FRANNY (ON PHONE):
Oh, you are so cute.

I smell perfume, Harry.

Why do I smell perfume?

Is there a woman in
there with you, Harry?

Huh?

Is it a blonde
like the last time?

No, listen-- listen, Franny.

I'm in here with a
couple of detectives.

That's all.

Yeah.

Well, one of them is, but--

oh, Franny, please.

Never in a million years.

Fr-- Fr-- Franny, the
blonde was the mayor's wife.

You know that.

Franny, can I call you
back in two minutes, honey?

See, I got people in--

two minutes.
Yes.

All right.

Bye.

I love you too, sweetheart.

Bye.

What can I tell you?

The woman thinks
I'm Omar Sharif.

So where were we?

We were-- we were talking
about Marcie Ridlin.

I busted her for prostitution
when I was working on vice.

She was trying to blackmail
her trick for $10 grand

in order to support
her coke habit.

As an eight time loser, the
judge gave her seven to ten.

That was three years ago.

She must have been
out on parole.

- Mhm.
- All right.

I'll goose the ME
for her report.

Meantime, you guys
get your butts in gear

and check out the parole office
over in West Palm, all right?

Great.

Yeah.

Listen, if I don't
get your report

on my desk in a half an
hour, I'm going to jam

my 9E boot up your 3B butt.

What?

Oh.

Well, I'm sorry.

Sorry.

It was the wrong extension.
I'm sorry, all right?

Forget about it.

I'm sorry.

OK.

Come on, Fred.

This guy isn't that stable.

I don't want him
sleeping on the streets.

Yeah.

Thanks.

I owe you one.

Hello.

Yeah?

Are you Kingman?

- Yeah.
- All right.

I'm Sergeant Lorenzo, Palm
Beach Police Department.

This is my partner,
Sergeant Lance.

You've got to
fill out a DC4925.

D-- what are
you talking about?

You're here to violate
one of my people, right?

Uh, no, Mr. Kingman.

Someone already did that.

Look, your supervisor
sent us over.

Said you might be handling
Marcie Ridlin's caseload.

She's a white female.

She's about 30 years old.

I don't know.

Let me check.

Sure.

You're standing
in front of the Rs.

Oh.

That's, uh, some filing
system you've got there.

A few years ago,
we used to carry

50 to 75 parolees per officer.

Then society started
bursting apart at the seams,

budgets dried up, and prisons
got into this early release

work thing.

My caseload went straight up.

A life sentence used
to mean seven years.

Now I catch them in three.

How do you keep up with it?

I don't.

All right.

Here she is.

Oh, yeah.
Yeah.

I know her.

Got her a job slinging
hash at a restaurant,

and found her a low
rent apartment on 16th.

Why, what's she done?

She got herself killed.

That's too bad.

I thought she was
going to make it.

Do you know if she went back
to hooking, using cocaine?

Her last drug
test was negative.

Other than that, who knows?

When was the last
time you saw her?

Three weeks ago.

She was due back in next week.

CHRIS LORENZO: You
got an address on her?

Yeah.

Sure.

Home and work.

Did you get the guy that did it?

No, but we will.

It's a damn shame.

Seemed like a decent girl.

Yeah.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks.

[knock on door]

ELLIE ROSE: Who is it?

Palm Beach Police Department.

Is this Marcie
Ridlin's apartment?

Yes, I'm her roommate.
What--

Hi.

Do you mind if we ask
you a few questions?

No.

What's happened?

What's your name?

ELLIE ROSE: Ellie Rose.

Is Marcie in some
kind of trouble?

She was murdered last night.

I'm sorry.

Uh, do you mind if we
look around a little bit?

No.

How did she-- who do this?

We were hoping you could
help us out with that.

Which way is her bedroom?

It's through there.

All right.

I'm going to go check it out.

All right.

Ellie, when's the last
time you saw Marcie?

So he sent a limo for her.

Yes, he always did.

Who's he?

Riker, I think.

He lives on the island.

I don't know his address.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

We talking about Vince Riker?

Yes, I think so.

Do you know who he is?

No, bu I know what he was.

What was Marcie's
relationship with him?

They dated a few times.

Odds are she
was hooking again.

No way.

Marcie gave that up.

Well, how could she afford
all those expensive dresses

in the closet if she was
just making minimum wage?

Well, she said Mr.
Riker bought them for her.

He wanted her to look nice.

- Mr. Riker--
- Yeah.

I'll tell you about him.

Look, Ellie, did Marcie
keep a diary, date book,

journal, anything like that?

Um, no, not that I know of.

You sure?

Yeah.

All right.
Anything else?

- No.
- All right, Ellie.

We'll be in touch.

Thanks.

RITA LEE LANCE: Thanks.

You know, that name Riker,
that sounds really familiar.

Ex mob boss from New York.

Got out of jail
about 10 years ago.

Retired down here Palm Beach.

So you think he's our man?

I don't know, but I'm
going to go ask him.

Look, I'll drop you
off at the shop.

Why don't you hit the computer,
see what you can find out?

See if he's got any
recent activity.

Great.

He must have killed her.

I mean, she always came back
with bruises, just like you did

every time you were with him.

Yeah.

Well, I guess I'm lucky
he got tired of me, huh?

You didn't tell the cops
any of that, did you?

No, I didn't know
what to tell them.

Did they find Marcie's diary?

No.

She kept it hidden.

Good.

Then I think I have
a way to pay Mr.

Riker back and get us enough
money to get out of dodge.

Man, I'm sick of
this town, anyway.

ELLIE ROSE: What do you mean?

Marcie wrote everything down.

I don't think Riker's going
to want to see it published

in the shiny sheet, do you?

You're going to try and
blackmail Vince Riker?

Are you out of your mind?

No, I'm just
looking for a way out.

Look, Ellie, everything
is going to be OK.

OK?

Good.

Now, go get me Marcie's diary.

I hope this is
important, Sergeant.

You've interrupted a
hell of a nice dream.

I sincerely apologize for
interrupting your dreams,

but I got a couple of
questions I'd like to ask you.

About what?

Marcie Ridlin.

Who?

The girl your limo picked
up last night on 16th Street

around 7:00.

Frederick, did you pick up
anyone in the limo last night?

No, sir.

You don't know Marcie Ridlin?

I know lots of
people, Sergeant.

Maybe if you describe her.

Maybe this will
refresh your memory.

Marsha?

I didn't know her last name.

She's not looking so good.

You've got a great
sense of humor.

You know, most people see
a picture of a dead woman,

they don't get the joke.

You got it right away.

You want to do this downtown?

She was my masseuse.

Right.

It's true.

She had great hands.

I'll miss them.

I guess you bought all those
expensive gowns for so she

could give you massages.

It's a matter of
style, Sergeant.

Maybe it's not a cop thing.

When's the last
time you saw her?

Week, two.

Who said my limo picked her up?

I ask the questions,
you answer the questions.

You know the drill.

Where were you between 7:00
and midnight last night?

You cops.

Always with the attitude.

I was right here, trouncing
Frederick at backgammon.

Isn't that true?

Yep.

You sure he was the only
one you trounced last night?

I'm getting tired
of this, Sergeant.

And I'm getting tired of dead
bodies washing up on the beach.

Maybe it was
someone else's limo.

She gave great massages.

I recommended her
to all my friends.

You care to name a few?

No, I don't think
I could do that.

If you have any more
questions, talk to my lawyer.

You know the way out.

Yeah.

I know the way back, too.

Have a nice day.

[music playing]

Anybody home?
- Hey.

How'd it go?

I got six months pay
that says Riker is our boy.

Hm.

What'd you get?

Well, I found out they put
him away on the Rico Act.

He got 15 years.

Paroled out in 10.

He made a lot of enemies
up north with the mob,

so he moved down to Palm Beach
to retire for his health.

Rico Act.

That means that the
government nailed

all of his ill gotten gains.

Yep.

Took off about $20 million
bucks into the US treasury

when he went down.

$20 million bucks.

That means he left
the joint broke.

Exactly.

How do you explain
the $10 million

mansion, chauffeur
driven limousine?

Well, maybe he had
his money stashed

in a Swiss bank account.

Or maybe he was
into something new.

Well, you know,
there was no evidence

that he was into anything
dirty since he's been out.

He denies seeing Marcie
the night she was murdered.

Chauffeur's backing
him up on it.

Yes, but we have Ellie
Rose's statement that he did.

That we do.

You know, I think we ought
to talk to Ellie again.

She can make a positive
ID on the driver

and start nailing the
lid shut on this guy.

- Yeah.
- OK.

So the dead girl
had been sodomized

and there was chlorinated
water in her lungs.

The PH roughly matches that
of the previous two victims.

I wonder if it would match
the PH in Riker's pool.

Yeah.

But even if it did, it's
professionally maintained.

It'll match 1,000
pools in this city.

What's up with your neck?

Oh, I was trying to get
some work done while I

was on the phone with Franny.

Oh.

We like to stay in touch.

Do you mind?

You know, for
such a tough cop,

he sure is putty in her hands.

Mhm.

A couple of real originals.

Absolutely made for each other.

I just think he's whipped.

Yeah.

Excuse me, Mr. Riker.

You have a visitor.

Hello, Trish.

It's been a long time.

Seems like yesterday.

Want to get wet?

This isn't a pleasure call.

Why don't you tell
your woodchuck

to go chuck some wood?

You heard the lady.

Chuck off.

Sit down, Trish.

Sorry to hear about
your friend Marcie.

Oh, not as sorry as
you're going to be.

You got a point to make?

Make it.

Marcie left me her diary.

I had no idea how
deep this thing went.

I mean, she runs down
the whole operation.

What operation?

It's a real page turner.

I think it's going
to be a bestseller.

$500 K buys you the only copy.

When we're done, I'm gone.

A friend of mine is ready to
mail the original to the cops

if I don't call in half an hour.

Time is money, Vince.

Half a million dollars?

TRISH FRIEND: In hundreds.

Take me a while to put
that kind of money together.

Tomorrow at noon.

We'll have a goodbye
lunch at the yacht club.

You bring the original,
I'll bring the cash.

It's going to
be such a pleasure

to say goodbye to you, Vince.

ELLIE ROSE: I already told you!

I thought it was his limo,
but I don't know for sure.

CHRIS LORENZO: If we show you
a picture of the limo driver,

can you make a positive ID?

No, I didn't see
who was driving.

Then how did you know that
she had a date with Riker?

I just assumed, but--

Ellie, don't you want to
help us nail the people who

killed your friend?

Yes, but I didn't
see who was driving!

CHRIS LORENZO: OK.
Did you see the plates?

ELLIE ROSE: No, I
wasn't paying attention.

Did anyone else ever
pick her up in a limo?

No, but that doesn't mean
someone else couldn't have.

So what made you think
it was Riker's limo?

- What are you trying to hide--
- Nothing!

Please.

I didn't know Marcie that well.

We'd only been rooming
together for two months.

All right, Ellie.

She's not telling
us everything.

Somebody has thrown a
wedge into the works since

the last time we talked to her.

Do you know, so
far we have zip?

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Oh, god.

[music playing]

No.

Frederick, no.

Fredrick, no!
Please!

[gasping]

The name was Trish Friend.

Lived here six months.

Occupation unknown.

That's it.
You find anything?

Yep.

Three designer
gowns in the closet.

Riker certainly has
good taste, doesn't he?

What you make of this, Rita?

I mean, it could
be a coincidence.

The MO we show are different.

Other than the fact they
live in the same place,

there's not one common thread.
- Yeah.

Well, I bet you lunch
when we find it,

Vince Riker's on the other end.

You know, there's
nothing to steal here.

Somebody must have been
looking for something.

I wonder if they found it.

A common thread.

What's that?

Florida Department of
Corrections Parole Commission.

CHRIS LORENZO: Curtis
Kingman, parole agent.

RITA LEE LANCE: Look at this.

You missed your last check in.

Call me.

Looks like we've got company.

Ellie!

Ellie, hold up.

Hi.

I was just coming
home from work.

What happened, anyway?

Woman named Trish
Friend was stabbed.

- Stabbed?
- Yeah.

You know her?

No.

I mean, we'd pass each
other in the hall.

Said hi a few times.
But--

Did you know that
she had the same parole

officer as Marcie Ridlin?

No, how could I?

What about you, Ellie?

Me?

Yeah.

Are you on parole too?

CHRIS LORENZO: How
long you been out?

Four months.

You want to tell
us what you've done?

I tried to kill my boyfriend
when he wanted me to have sex

with his drinking buddies, OK?

Who's your parole officer?

Please, I had nothing
to do with any of this.

I am just trying to get
my life back together.

Don't make trouble for me, OK?

I'd kill myself before
I go back to prison.

Ellie, look, we are not
here to make trouble for you.

Ellie, you haven't
answered my question.

Who's your parole officer?

Curtis Kingman.

But he handles
hundreds of ex-cons.

I don't know them all.

- It's becoming a rope.
- Mhm.

ELLIE ROSE: Please don't
talk to him about me.

Any flap and he will violate
me back into Tallahassee.

Do you know Vince Riker?

No.

I have never seen the man.

All right, Ellie.

I hope you're
telling us the truth.

Because people are dying, and I
know you don't want to be next.

If you think of anything, you
give me a call, all right?

Here's my card.

[music playing]

You test dirty again, Juan,
you're going back inside.

You got it?

Get out of here.

Ah, Lorenzo and Lance, right?

That's right.
You got a minute?

Well, just about.

I'm doing a revocation hearing.

Your caseload
dropped by one more.

You keep this up, you're
going to get Sundays off.

Who?

Trish Friend.

Excuse me.

Guess I was standing in
front of the Fs, right?

What happened to her?

CHRIS LORENZO:
Somebody cut her up.

- I'm not surprised.
- Why not?

CURTIS KINGMAN: She
was bad to the bone.

She went in for
assault with intent.

She shot an undercover cop
who was trying to bust her

for prostitution, and
she's tested nearly

three times since she got out.

And word is that
she's hooking again.

I was going to violate
her in her next monthly.

Still, uh, that's tough.

Do you know if she
knew Marcie Ridlin?

I don't know.

CHRIS LORENZO: You don't know?

You put them in the same
apartment complex on 16th.

Well, maybe they
knew each other.

It could be.

The truth is, I've got a free
bed and 10 people to fill it.

These people, they're
all just numbers to you?

CURTIS KINGMAN: That's
a low blow, Sergeant.

I don't like the fact
that two of my people

have been murdered
in the last 24 hours.

Hell, I've had three
OD in the last 12,

and 10 who
disappeared this week.

Maybe they jumped parole.

Maybe they're at the
bottom of Lake Worth.

I don't know!

But I just picked
up 20 new ones!

As it is, I don't
sleep, I drink too much,

and I'm working on
my third divorce.

I'm sorry the girl's dead, OK?

If there's anything I can do
to help, turn over my files,

make myself available to you in
any way, I'll be glad to do it.

Meanwhile, I've got a hearing to
put a guy back inside who just

shotgunned his entire family.

After I vouched for him.

I don't buy it.

All right.

I agree there's a common thread,
but I just don't see what

the guy would have to gain.

That's what I'm
trying to find out.

Come on.

You saw his car in
the parking lot.

How can he afford
that on his salary?

RITA LEE LANCE: Well,
maybe he saves his money.

Or maybe he is
abusing the power

of god he holds over people.

What did you find out about
getting to his out files?

I want to thank
you both very much

for this meteoric rise
in my blood pressure.

I checked with
Kingman's supervisor.

Yeah, and?

And nothing.

No help.

They're running
five months behind

in their reporting procedures.

You gotta be kidding me.

We know for a fact two of his
ex-cons have been murdered.

Look, Cap, I gotta get
into those out files.

I've got to find
if any other Jane

Doe's turned up on the
beach with chlorinated water

in their lungs.

Riker is the one we
should be following.

I think we should
be following Kingman.

Listen, I remember
Vince Riker from New York.

This is not the kind of
guy that's going to reform.

I'll keep trying
to get the records.

Meantime, you stick with Riker.

You wait here.

VINCE RIKER: Is that him?

CURTIS KINGMAN: Yeah.

He got out three days ago.

He's a good second story man.

How is he with safes?

He knows his stuff.

VINCE RIKER: You got
the Indian sign on him?

Yeah.
He already tested dirty.

Do whatever I say.
- Good.

But this one's going
to cost you more.

$10 grand, like always.

Don't get greedy on me, Kingman.

OK.

10.

This is it.

This is what?

The store is closed, Riker.

It's closed when I say it is.

You should show a little
gratitude, Curtis.

I saved your life today.

What do you mean?

Marcie Ridlin kept a diary.

You were her leading man.

Fortunately,
Frederick got to it.

Yeah, and he got
to Trish Friend.

VINCE RIKER: Yeah.

I figured you'd recognize
Frederick's handiwork.

He's one of your best finds.

Speaking of which, I
need another woman.

Forget it.
No more!

Make her tall and young.

Hey, I said no.

And have her dress nice.

[clicking sound]

RITA LEE LANCE: I
don't believe this.

Believe it.

Wow.

I would have given anything to
have heard that conversation.

You know, just the
fact that they met

is enough to make this
whole thing fall into place.

Yeah, but not enough
to make the case.

Yeah.

So what are we going to do?

Well, we find a way
to take them down.

CHRIS LORENZO: Frederick Ness,
paroled out 10 months ago,

likes to carve up
women and young boys.

Gary Osheroff,
paroled last Monday.

Second story man, three time
loser, and armed robber.

Now, I don't know
why he's doing it,

but my guess is that Kingman is
providing Riker with a network

of trained felons.

Burglars, hitmen,
whatever he needs.

Ex-cons don't cooperate, he
threatens to violate them,

throw them back in the joint.

Plus, most are predisposed
to a life of crime anyway.

So with their parole
officer in their corner,

they can get away with murder.

You can prove all of this?

No.

Not yet, but I think
we got a way in.

We just need you to
authorize a wire.

All right.

Go ahead.

Great.

CHRIS LORENZO: Your parole
officer know about this?

Leave me alone.

No, Ellie.

We are not going to leave
you alone this time.

CHRIS LORENZO: If you're leaving
because you think you don't

have a choice, we think you do.

No, you don't know anything.

Yeah.

We know about Riker and we know
about his deal with Kingman.

What do you know?

We know that Kingman runs
a twisted employment agency,

and that Riker's one
of his best customers.

CHRIS LORENZO: So
why are you skipping?

Hm?

Kingman have you jumping
through Riker's hoop, too?

Look, Ellie, we're
here to help you.

I don't know what
Trish told Riker

or if Riker thinks I know about
the diary, but if he does,

I'm dead, too.

That's why I was going.

CHRIS LORENZO: What diary?

Marcie's.

Trish tried to
blackmail Riker with it.

Where is it?

Whoever killed Trish
must have found it.

CHRIS LORENZO: There
goes the evidence.

What part did you play
in all of this, Ellie?

Kingman asked me to date
Riker a couple of times,

but I refused.

And I think he was just
waiting for me to mess

up like Marcie and Trish did.

But I don't do drugs and I
didn't ever give him a reason

to violate me, because once he
has something over your head,

it's a little hard
to refuse him.

Why didn't you tell
us about all this

when we first talked to you?

Oh, right.

Like you're really
going to believe

an ex-con over a parole officer?

Running away is
not going to help.

Look, I'm dead if I don't.

And I can't live
like this anymore.

I tried to keep clean.

It's just so pointless.

We want to make Riker and
Kingman pay for what they did.

We need your help, Ellie.

No.

Look, if you help us, we'll do
everything in our power to get

you off parole, free and clear.

Think about it.

You'd be doing this
for Marcie and you'd

be doing it for Trish.

I don't know what to do.

Yeah, you do.

[phone ringing]

Kingman.

Yeah, Sergeant, what
can I do for you?

How you doing?

Look, you got a female on your
books by the name Ellie Rose?

Let me check.

Yeah, I got her.

Don't tell me she--

she turned up dead, too.
- No.

No.

She just called me up.

She sounded pretty shook up.

CURTIS KINGMAN (ON
PHONE): Well, she

can get a little hysterical.
- Yeah.

That's what I figured.

Look, she came up
with some crazy story

about a guy named Riker.

Does that name mean
anything to you?

No.

Should it?
- No.

It doesn't mean
anything to me, either.

But, look, evidently,
this guy Riker's

got something to do
with Marcie Ridlin

and Trish Friend's deaths.

So Ellie called me up.

She wanted to work out a
protective custody deal.

She said something about having
a copy of Marcie's diary.

Now, I don't want to cross
any departmental lines here,

so I thought I'd
give you a buzz,

see if you want to go
to the meeting with us.

Now, if not, that's cool, but
I thought I'd check it out.

Hey, I appreciate it.

Sure.

When and where?

Her apartment on 16th.

Now, look, we're
hung up with the DA.

It's going to be a while.

Why don't you meet
us there, say, 4:00?

I'll see you there.

Now all we've got to do is
wait and see who shows up.

[knock on door]

Who's there?

CURTIS KINGMAN: Curtis Kingman.

Mr. Kingman, what's wrong?

I wasn't due to report
until next week.

You called the cops?

What?

Why would I do that?

What are you talking about?

No games, Ellie.

Just give me--
give me the diary.

What diary?

You know damn well what diary.

I don't have it.

You're lucky I came
instead of Vince Riker.

You know what he did to Trish.

Is that what you want?
- No.

I'm giving you a chance.

You don't take it, we can have
Frederick here in 10 minutes.

Now, give me the damn diary.

Look, I'll destroy it,
recommend you for early release,

and you can get out of town.

This is the only way you
can come out of this alive.

But I don't--

Now, I'm doing you a favor.

Now, you get the diary, or we
can wait here for Frederick.

OK.
It's in the bedroom.

CHRIS LORENZO: Drop it, Kingman.

Drop it.

There's no way you're going
to be able to make this stick.

It's my word
against an ex-con's.

Oh, yeah.

It's your words, all right.

CHRIS LORENZO: When
you get to the joint,

cons are going to
love you to death.

Look, Sergeant,
maybe there's some way

we can cut a deal on this.

CHRIS LORENZO: Like the
deal you cut with Riker?

I could fall in a sewer
and not get that dirty.

I did not have
a lot of choice.

That's what Marcie used
to say, you son of a bitch.

Ellie!

It's all right.

So when did Riker get his
hooks into you, anyway?

I was his parole officer
when he got out of prison.

I was going through a
real bad time in my life.

My first wife was taking
me for everything.

I had a gambling problem.

I was into some serious
guys for heavy bucks.

If I'd recommend him for
early release from parole,

he'd pay off my debt,
scare off my wife.

I went along with it.

He walked clean.

My wife ended up dead, and
I was into it up to my ass.

When did you start
supplying women for Riker?

Last year.

That was the worst.

How many do you
think he killed?

CURTIS KINGMAN: Five.

Maybe six.

I have hated myself for
a long time for this.

In a way, I'm glad
it's out in the open.

I'll testify against him,
if that's what you want.

It's not good enough.

No juror is going to
believe your testimony.

We need hard evidence, and
you're going to help us get it.

Yeah?

How?

Meet your newest
female parolee.

You're out of your mind.

I'll take that as a yes.

Wait here.

What do you want?

I need to see the man.

I don't think you're
in the appointment book.

Don't be a wise
ass, Frederick.

Your file is coming
up for final review.

Who's the broad?

Just get the man!

I hope to hell you
can hear me, Sam.

Got you, Rita, loud and clear.

I told you never to come here.

We've got some important
things to discuss.

Besides, I got what you
ordered, and then some.

VINCE RIKER: Who's that?

CURTIS KINGMAN:
Name's Connie Slater.

Burglar.

And good.

Only out of Tallahassee a week.

Already she's knocked
over three Meisner's.

Recognized her MO.

Staked her out.

Busted her.

She'll do anything I say.

I'll, uh, spend some time
with her, check her out.

I'll let you know.

No, I'm staying.

You don't get your hands on
her till we reach an agreement.

Take it, or I take her away.

Turn around.

Spread em.

Hey, buzz off!

You keep your damn hands off me.

You don't get to see the
man till I know you're clean.

You touch me again, and
the only thing that's going

to be clean is your clock.

It's all right, Frederick.

I think I can handle her.

Why don't we just go sit by
the pool, have a drink, talk?

Yeah.

Fine.

Just keep your ape off me.

VINCE RIKER: Tallahassee, huh?

Mhm.

I hear it's a tough house.

Well, it was doable.

How's Dirty Susie doing?

Dirty Susie.

Susie Diamond, an
old friend of mine.

She practically runs the joint.

I think she's getting
out next month.

Never heard of her.

Neither have I.

So what do I gotta do?

Well, for openers,
there's some paintings

I want out of the
Flagler Mansion,

and, uh, I know of a safe full
of ice down in South Beach.

Good.

And, uh, what do
I get out of it?

VINCE RIKER: 5%, and you
don't have to go back to jail.

That sucks.

You make it sound
like a bad thing.

CURTIS KINGMAN: But before
you get too cozy, can we

finish my business?

Yeah, let's.

Then Connie and I can
get to know each other.

But this time, the
store really is closed.

VINCE RIKER: What
exactly does this mean?

CURTIS KINGMAN: I'm
taking early retirement.

This time next month, I'm
going to be in Jamaica

drowning in rum and
trying very hard

to forget that I ever met you.

How does this impact the
people I have working for me?

I'm going to release them from
parole on my way out the door.

For five grand apiece.

Five grand?

I've got 25 of your
cons heisting for me.

You know what that comes to?

125 Gs.

And 10 more for the safe
cracker I delivered to you

yesterday, and 15 for Connie.

That comes to an even 150 grand.

And I want it all now.

You're either real
brave or real stupid.

What makes you think I'm going
to let you leave here alive?

Because if you don't, I have
parole violation petitions

on my desk, and whoever
takes my place is going

to boot them right back inside.

Let me finish this
crap with Curtis.

We'll get naked, take a tub.

[static]

RITA LEE LANCE: I don't
do naked job interviews.

Yes, you do.

[static]

Hasn't been all
that bad, has it?

One hand washes the other.

How come they never got clean?

Look at the upside.

Your job is to find
employment for those cons.

Without me, most of them
would be back in the joint.

I'm sure they'd run into
nicer class of people.

Mr. Riker!

[inaudible]

No.

No, you handle it, Frederick.

I'll, uh-- I'll pour the wine.

Stay put.

Both of you.

Oh, come on, Rita.

Say the magic words.

Magic words.

I never argue with a gun.

[music playing]

Turn around.

What the hell
is this all about?

I thought maybe you'd tell me.

I never did a cop before.

Babe, there's nothing I
like better than tough love.

Stop!

Riker, no!

[gun shots]

He's gone.

You OK?

Yeah.

Thanks for letting us know.
Yeah.

I'll tell him.
OK.

Good luck.

Bye bye.

And who was that?

That was Ellie Rose.

She just got off parole,
and she said to say thanks.

That's great.

Yup.

We did good.

You know, it's too bad Kingman
couldn't be here to see it.

Yeah.

You know, I've been thinking
a lot about him lately.

I mean, you think he
strayed over the line

because he was
overwhelmed by the job,

or do you think it was
just because he was greedy?

I think he was
like the rest of us.

He had a weak spot.

But with Kingman, his
job got to be too much,

his family went down the tubes.

Such a waste.

You know, I think
the man really cared

about what he was doing for
his people in the beginning.

In the beginning, yeah.

Yeah, I think so, too.

Hey, Cap.
- Hey, Captain.

How'd the sentencing go?

Ah, couldn't have gone better.

Riker got life without parole.
- Yes.

Good.

Yes.

No, no, no, no.

Ah, what's the matter?

The ulcer again?

No, it's my back.

I threw it out
while Franny and I--

well, she's got this new
book, the Kama something.

"Kama Sutra."

Yeah.

Page 63, the Flying
Spider Monkey.

We're talking
intensive care, here.

Got pain.

Excuse me, Captain Lipschitz,
your wife is on line two.

Oh.

Put it through to my
office, will you, Gracie?

Yes, sir.

CAPTAIN HARRY: Oh,
and, uh, Gracie, have

the paramedics standing by.

The woman is an animal.
