[man panting]

Sex with me does no more
for you than shaving, does it?

Are you kidding?

I love a nice, close shave.

At least you could pretend.

Lighten up, Brenda.

Don't be so damn serious.

You want anything
from the kitchen?

What I want is
not in the kitchen.

Don't leave a mess.

Yeah.

Stacy, I miss you so much.

STACY (ON PHONE):
I miss you, too.

You know what I'm thinking?

I'm thinking if you were here
right now, lying next to me--

Well, once I have
my driver's license,

I can come over whenever I want.

After school, in the morning.

Late at night.

Yeah.

Late at night.

Well, just remember that
on Saturday, your birthday,

you're all mine.

No friends, no parents.

Just us.

I gotta go.

My step dad's here.

Stacy, you tell him to get
the hell out of there, OK?

I'll call you back.

No, Stacy!

[dial tone]

How's Greg?

He's OK.

Can't wait for tomorrow
after school, sweetheart.

I'm counting the minutes.

[music playing]

SINGER: [vocalizing]

NARRATOR: There's nothing more
special than being daddy's

little girl.

You look up to him like
he can do no wrong.

But when that dad
isn't your real father,

and he loves you a
little bit too much,

it can be an entirely
different story.

Hey, Cap.

Yeah.

Let me get this straight.

He owned a restaurant?

Yeah.

The, uh, the beach type.

You know, beer, burgers.
- Right.

Surf shack, driftwood,
old scale out front.

Yeah.
That's it.

Been there before.

Tell you what, the Hawaiian
half pounder is a work of art.

Please.

Just the thought of it.

Yeah.

Sorry, Captain.

Man.

It's like somebody used
him for bayonet practice.

Yeah.

Got four or five wounds there.

And one of the last ones
must've hit his heart,

otherwise we'd have
blood all over the place.

Whoever killed him, did
it with a vengeance.

Yeah.

Not a pleasant sight for a kid
to come home from school to,

is it?

I can't believe he's gone.

Look, I know this is
difficult. Stacey, what time

did you get home this afternoon?
- I don't know.

Greg dropped me
off after school.

3:30, maybe quarter to four.

BRENDA LOGAN: I want to
know who did this to Tony.

I want them to pay for it.

We want to know
that too, ma'am.

Is there anybody you
can think of who had

a grievance with your husband?

No.

I can't think of anyone.

Any personal disagreements?

Bad business dealings?

I can't imagine why anyone
would want to do this.

Tony never hurt anybody.

What about you, Stacy?

Did you see anything unusual
when you came home from school?

No.

HARRY LIPSCHITZ: A gardener,
pool man, any strange face?

No one was here.
Except Tony.

Hey, Rita.

Just got back from pathology.

Logan was stabbed seven times.

The blade was approximately
8 to 10 inches long,

but it wasn't a knife.

So maybe it was a
tool of some kind.

Like scissors, or a letter
opener, or something like that?

They say no sharp edges, so
a letter opener works well.

Look at this.

It punctured his left
ventricle, his left lung,

and it tore into
his small intestine.

Yeah.

He sure was not going
to get up and walk away.

No, he sure wasn't.

It was either real
efficient or real emotional.

Um, was there any
signs of struggle?

You know, I don't
think he had time.

Bam, bam, bam.

Quick stab wounds traumatize.

I bet he was in shock like that.

- And they were all in front.
- Yeah.

All in front.

What was estimated time?

3 to 4 PM.

Body had had only cooled
a couple of degrees

when the EMTs got there.

So that means that it could have
been before the girl, Stacy--

before she got home from school.

Or maybe after.

Maybe old Tony was
still up and walking

around when she got home.

The kid.

You think that she was capable
of doing something like that?

Well, considering
she just found

her stepfather in
a pool of blood,

she showed damn little emotion.

Maybe that's the way she's
dealing with it, Captain.

People deal with shock in
different ways, you know?

Unless they're not shocked.

Did Mrs. Logan give you the
name of her husband's business

partner?
- Yeah.

Danner.

Frank Danner.

Listen, if you're done with
your deposition on Carlton,

I'm going to kick this
back to you, all right?

OK.
Yeah, I am.

Thanks, Captain.

- Have a nice life.
- You, too.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for Frank Danner.

He's at the bar.

OK.

It's a shame about what
happened Mr. Logan, isn't it?

Yeah.

You know him very well?

He was a good boss.

I liked him.

You must be Sergeant Lorenzo.

Yeah.

So you're Tony's partner.
- Yeah.

Frank Danner.

Nice to meet you.

Been moving around in
slow motion all morning.

Still can't believe it.

How long you and
Tony been partners?

11 years.

Seems like a lifetime.

Tony knew this business
inside and out.

He made this place what it is.

Business good?

Well, you know how it is.

It's a recession.

We've been holding our own.

Tony was a genius
coming up with new ways

to, uh, get customers
in the door.

I guess he was at that.

FRANK DANNER: Now
that he's gone,

I don't know what
I'm going to do.

I mean, I'm all business.

He was-- he was
the restaurateur.

I barely know a
fork from a spoon.

Did Tony owe anybody money?

If he did, I'd know about it.

Tony made a good living.

He didn't have to borrow.

What about the relationship
between the two of you?

You think I'm
involved in this thing?

I don't know who's
involved in this thing.

Tony was-- Tony
was my best friend.

He was like a brother to me.

Now that he's gone, I might
have to sell this place.

You think I want that?

You think I'd ruin my business?

You think I'd murder my friend?

Somebody did.

I was in this restaurant
all day yesterday.

You can check with
the prep cooks.

From noon until I had
found out what happened.

Do you mind if I have a
look at your phone file?

If you need a good
dish washer or maybe a,

uh, refrigerator repairman.

That's all you're going to find.

This one right here.

DiBarto.

I don't know.

Must be somebody
Tony dealt with.

I was a 31-year-old widow
with a six-year-old girl,

and I was a mess.

Was that when you met Tony?

He was my knight
in shining armor.

He was wonderful.

Not only didn't treat
me like a queen,

but he loved Stacy like his own.

How was it for Stacy having
a new man in the house?

I know that can be a little
difficult for children.

Stacy adored Tony back then.

Like her own father.

What do you mean back then?

When a girl reaches a certain
age, she can be difficult.

Tony was understanding.

He raised her like
his own child.

Helped her with homework,
taught her how to ride horses.

Did he discipline her?

When she needed
discipline, yes.

He was there like
any good father.

Did Stacy go to school today?

Yes.

I'm a little surprised she
wouldn't have stayed home.

Oh, she wouldn't
have it any other way.

She doesn't like anything to
interfere with her routine.

But under the circumstances,
seems a little odd.

Stacy's a strong
girl, Sergeant.

And pretty mature for her age.

It's a decision I
allowed her to make.

You must have been doing
some kind of business

with this guy, Donnie.

Your name was in his phone file.

My name is in the
phone book, too.

What does that prove?

That I'm tight with
the Bell family?

Look, I told you, I
don't know this jabeep.

And besides, a burger joint?

That's not my style, Lorenzo.

I'm not asking
you where you ate.

I want to know what
kind of business

you were doing with this guy.

And I'm telling
you, the zero kind.

Hey, Sergeant Lorenzo.

What a nice surprise.

Dominic.

I thought you left town, man.

I've been staying in
Miami with my Uncle Vic.

But I've been back a
few times on business.

Business.

Little of this,
little of that.

Now it's vacation, though.

Spend a couple of
weeks with Pop here.

Is Rita with you?

No, Rita left town.

She lives in Alaska now.

You're sticking it
to me, huh, Sergeant?

You're a funny guy.
Hear that, Pop?

Alaska?

He said she moved to Alaska.

So Dominic, when you've
been up here on business,

you stay with Donnie?

Of course he stays here.
It's his home.

He's family.

Is any of your business
with a guy named Tony Logan?

Yeah.
Some of it.

Why?

Somebody did a nasty
job of killing him.

That's why.

Don't say anything
else, Dominic.

Hey, I sold him a dozen TVs.

So unless he got
electrocuted by bad wiring,

I got nothing to
worry about here.

CHRIS LORENZO: TVs, huh?
DOMINIC DIBARTO: Yeah.

For the restaurant.

Show the fights, the
games, the races.

For which I'm sure you've
got all the proper records?

Absolutely.
12 TVs.

He paid cash.

End of story.

I got all the numbers.
Bill of sale.

Gave him a receipt.
Totally legitimate.

CHRIS LORENZO: All right.

All right.

Look, Dominic, do
you have any business

dealings with Tony's partner?

No.

No, just with Tony.

Tony and his old lady.

No, you mean his wife.

No, this was not
a wife kind of lady.

This woman was too
sexy to be a wife.

She had these legs
and a body, I mean,

that would make your knees
weak and your nose run.

You know what I'm saying?

Her name was April.

DOMINIC DIBARTO: You are a
very good detective, Sergeant.

That had to be, like,
one of those UPS things

for you to know that.

Dominic, will you
walk the Sergeant out?

So you'll be around if I
need to talk to you again?

I'm here as long
as you need me to be.

You know, I'm going
to give Rita a call.

Like-- like, a
surprise, you know?

Don't say nothing.

It'll be, like, a surprise.

It'll be a
surprise, all right.

Dominic, I don't
think I'd do that.

Hey, she would
have came around if I

would have stuck around here.

There was a thing
between me and Rita.

A thing between the both of us.

I could see it in her eyes.

The way she said she never
wanted to see me again.

Kind of like one of
those UPS things, huh?

Exactly.

RITA LEE LANCE: Do you ride?

Not much anymore.

I learned to ride when
I was about your age.

That's nice.

I hear you're getting your
driver's license next week.

That's pretty exciting, huh?

Look, I have tons
of homework to do.

OK.

You don't seem very upset
about Tony's murder.

What do you want me to do?

Sit here and cry my eyes out?

No.

Not necessarily.

I just think it's a
little odd that you

didn't stay home from school
to be with your mom today.

I had an algebra
test, all right?

Miss Kavicki doesn't
give makeups.

Well, I'm sure she
would have understood

under the circumstances.

She wouldn't.

Stacy, what was your
relationship with Tony like?

What do you mean?

I mean, did you--
did you get along well?

Yeah.

Sure.

You spent a lot
of time together?

I guess.

I don't know.

I know what it's
like to have a stepdad.

Someone who's not
your real father.

No, you don't.

Yeah, I do.

Yeah.

I grew up with foster
parents myself.

I know what that feels like.

Nobody knows anything.

Stacy, would you like to
talk to me about something?

You sure?

Yeah.

He used to take me out--

buy me clothes and
take me to the movies.

It's OK.

It's not.

It's going to be all right.

He did stuff.

He touched me.

He made me do things.

I'm sorry.

Does your mom know about this?

Nobody knew.

Except Greg.

I just couldn't keep
it inside anymore.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Stacy had a serious motive.

That's a tough way to live.
- Yeah.

I just can't believe she would
leave the murder weapon laying

out like that in plain sight.

It just doesn't make sense.

Well, maybe the letter opener
wasn't the murder weapon.

Well, forensics will
be able to tell us.

So what about Dominic
and Donnie "Dogs?"

I don't think they had
anything to do with this.

Dominic was up
front about the TVs.

They all checked out.

Besides, it was too
sloppy for a mob hit.

Think Dominic was
right about the mistress?

Maybe she had a gripe.

CHRIS LORENZO: April Stevens.

I don't think she had
anything to do with this.

she was The waitress at
The Beach Tide, right?

She was on the clock
from 10:00 until 6:00.

Besides, it was history.

She broke up with Logan
a couple of months ago.

She found somebody
her own age who

wasn't quite so rough in bed.

You buy that Brenda didn't
know about any of this?

About Tony and her
daughter, about the affair?

They say love
casts a blind eye.

Yeah.

I sure would like
to know Stacy's

boyfriend says about this.

I'm sure he's not too upset
that Tony's out of the picture.

Old man playing doctor
with his sweetheart.

How can you live with
something like that?

The whole thing makes me sick.

It had been going on for a
year, and she was so afraid she

couldn't tell anybody about it.

You know, I understand why
she would want to kill him.

That still doesn't
make it right.

No.

I've got to tell you, busted
for shoplifting at the age 14,

grand theft auto
at the age of 15.

My man, I borrowed my
uncle's car without asking him.

He turned me in.

Not exactly a squeaky
clean record, is it, Gregory?

Look, I had some problems
when I was younger, OK?

But I worked them out.

I go to school now, I work hard,
and I don't bother anybody.

What about Tony Logan?

You have any problems with him?

No problems.

I left him alone,
he left me alone.

How long did you know about
what he was doing Stacy?

She told you?

Told Sergeant Lance
the whole thing.

She also said you were the
only other person who knew.

Yeah.

Made you mad, didn't it?

Yeah.

I told him if he ever
touched her again,

I'd rip his head off.

You know what he did?

He laughed in my face.

He-- he told me I should
go ahead and try it.

So you threatened him.

I wanted to kill him.

I wanted to tear him to pieces.

Is that right?

Well, lucky for me,
someone beat me to it.

You're early.

Oh, hi, Frank.

I thought you were Greg.

Oh, hiya, Stacy.

You look as pretty as ever.

Hello, Frank.

Hi.

How are you holding up?

You look good.

Oh, I'm--

I'm hanging in there.

Sit down.

I'll fix you a drink.

It's Greg.

Bye, Frank.

Home by 11.

STACY: I will, mom.

She's a hell of a girl.

Yes, she is.

And you are a hell of a woman.

Everything seems to point
to Stacy, but I cannot see

her stabbing somebody to death.

Hey, check it out.

It's the lesser DiBarto.

Dominic, how have you been?

Every appearance would
say terrific, Rita.

But inside, I'm
dying on the vine.

CHRIS LORENZO: Say what?

Well, true, health is good,
business is good, life is good,

but something is missing here.

Look, Dominic, if this
is some kind of come on--

Hey, hey, hey.

Would I?

I owe you.

You told me to take a hike.

I'm saying, this is
a very classy lady

who is perfect for me.

There's an attraction here.

So why's she pushing me away?

I couldn't see it
then, but I can now.

It's a very clear picture.

It's still a
little hazy for me.

It's about challenge.

Here I am, learning
the family business

at my Uncle Vic's
knee, so to speak,

and it's, like, so
what's to learn?

I do this like a fish swims.

You know what I'm saying?

It's in my blood.

It's too easy.

I need a challenge.

What about the challenge of
not getting caught, Dominic?

And I'm thinking--

we talked about Tony Logan.

Yeah.

Lorenzo's got a great job.

It's exciting, gets to
work with people like Rita,

gets to use his brains.

It's a challenge.

So you want to be a cop.

It's the thing you sent
me away to find me, Rita.

I was so blind.

I can't believe I
didn't see this sooner.

I can't-- this is a come on.

You gotta be
kidding me, Dominic.

No, this is a joke, right?

Your Pop put you up to this.

We didn't plan a
snitch in his camp,

so he wants to plant
one in ours, right?

You'll change your
attitude, Sergeant.

This is something I
have decided to do.

[knock on door]

Who are you?

It's not who I am,
it's who I'm going to be,

which is a very important
part of this department.

You know my Pop,
Dominic DiBarto Senior?

Please, another drought,
yes; another plague, yes;

another seven years bad
luck, OK, that also;

but not another DiBarto.

What the hell do you want?

I want to be a cop.

Come here.

You know what I'm doing here?

Somewhere on this desk
is a telephone number.

The last honest auto mechanic
in the entire state of Florida.

I'm looking, so
far, for 45 minutes.

I've dialed a dozen
wrong numbers,

I've been told to go to hell
in three different languages,

but I'm going to find it.

You know why?

Because I refuse to give those
ganefs down at the dealership

$120 for a brake job.

Which any trained
monkey can do, right?

So my question to you is this--

what the hell do
you want from me?

I need a word.

The brass who run the
Police Academy, they-- they

treat me like a civilian.

You know what I'm saying?

Certain character
requirements that's

having a negative effect,
and we can't accept it.

You know what I'm saying?

You want me to shoehorn
you into the Academy, right?

To pull a couple
of strings, right?

Pop said you were quick.

Of course, I know
what's expected,

you know what I'm saying?

Very nice office.

Very nice.

Could you use a sound system.

A couple of speakers
right over there.

Maybe a big screen
right over here, huh?

Fish tank?

You like fish?

What are you doing?

What?

What am I doing?

I'm trying to show
my appreciation.

You're trying to
bribe a police officer.

I'm just getting
acquainted is all I'm doing.

Out.

Out.

Get out of my office.

Get out of my station.

I don't know what the
hell you and Donnie "Dogs"

are trying to pull here,
but it ain't going to work.

I understand you
need a little time.

I'll be in touch.

Out!

Out, out, out!

Out!

It couldn't be true.

This is some kind of lie.

Stacy told me these stories
in detail, Mrs. Logan.

Well, little girls
have vivid imaginations.

They invent things.

I have yet to meet
a teenager who can

concoct a story so specific.

Look, I know there
were other women.

Tony fooled around.

I could live with that.

But he would never
have touched Stacy!

Why didn't she say something?

Because she didn't think
you would believe her.

Oh, Stacy.

I always thought it
would be a good idea

for you to grow up
with your mother

so you'd grow up straight.

But not this straight.

Pop, for once in my life,
I want to do something

that I could be proud of.

This is a concept
that escapes me.

What could make you prouder
than to have all of this

when I decide to retire?

But I'm walking
into that, Pop.

It won't be
something I work for.

The hell it won't.

You know that and I know that.

I'm talking about respect.

You want to talk
about respect?

Just think what it
would do to my image.

A DiBarto with a badge.

Tell me something I can
understand, Dominic.

Tell me this is all a con just
so you can get next to Rita.

Strictly a fringe benefit.

And there's other
fringe benefits, too.

Like?

Like you knowing what's
going on inside the PD.

It'd be like you got
ears in the department.

Your business could be just
as good as bulletproof.

You know, I knew
your mother raised

you smart as well as straight.

Brenda's alibi checked out.

Three different witnesses.

Do you believe
she didn't know?

I can't believe a mother
would do something like that

and not do something about it.

But on the other hand, I
can't believe that she didn't

know something was going on.

I mean, they live
in the same house.

Letter opener fits the
wounds like a key in a lock.

Same length, same with.

Got microscopic traces of blood.

It'll be weeks before we
can DNA match from Tony's,

but definitely his blood type.

Rita, we've got no
other prints on that

thing other than Stacy's.

I just wish she
had gotten help.

Yeah, so do I. Uh, I'm
going to go get the car, OK?

She's probably home
from school by now.

Yeah.

Sergeant Lance.

Uh, no, it's fine.

Well, there's no
need to go get a car.

She's downstairs.

Stacy just turned herself in.

You were right, Rita.

I killed Tony.

And I'd do it again
if I had the chance.

You are the best
I've ever had.

No.

You know what I think?

I think we should
put on our clothes,

go to the airport, jump
on a plane to Barbados,

and have a-- have a native--

a native priest marry
us in the moonlight.

I never realized you
were such a romantic.

Only with you.

I am serious.

I mean, why do we keep hiding
like a couple of teenagers?

Well, I think it
would look a little

strange if we ran
off and eloped a week

after my husband's funeral.

Who cares?

Let them say what they want.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Yes.

Yes, Sergeant Lance.

I understand.

Yes, I'll be there right away.

Stacy confessed.

What?

She said she killed Tony.

She's at the police
department right now.

I-- I never dreamed she
would do anything like that.

They found the letter
opener on her desk.

What the hell is
going on, Frank?

She's a minor, and she's
already told the police

that Tony was molesting her.

Now, whether it's
true or not, no jury

is going to convict her.

He was standing by
the window drinking,

and he'd be waiting for me
on afternoons like that.

He was always half blasted.

So I walked up behind
him with a letter opener

and when he turned around,
I just stabbed him.

Just like that, huh?

Yes.

He tried to get away,
but I kept stabbing him.

I just wanted him dead.

And then he
collapsed on the floor.

Yeah.

On the rug.

I waited five minutes, and
then I called the police.

Stacy, I want you to
do something for me.

Uh-huh?

I want you to
pretend that I'm Tony.

Go ahead and stand up.

Come on over here.

Now, this is a letter opener.

OK.

So I'm Tony.

I'm standing here looking
outside the window.

You sneak up behind me with a
letter opener, I turn around.

Then what?

Well, I just stabbed him.

Show us exactly how
you did it, Stacy.

Exactly how you did it.

OK.

Come on.

Let's sit down.

Who were you trying
to protect, Stacy?

Stacy, you didn't
kill your stepfather.

We want to know who did.

What are you talking about?

It was me.

Whoever killed Tony
used underhanded strokes

close to the body.

Every wound indicates an upward
angle like this, not like this.

I did it wrong?

We're here to help you, Stacy.

It's OK.

It's OK.

STACY: He did it for me.

Greg tried to get Tony
to stop, but he wouldn't.

Greg wouldn't tell me
where he was that day.

He ditched it in 6th period.

I thought that he--

Stacy, Greg had an alibi.

Hey, he didn't do it.

Look, he cares for you very
much, but he's not a murderer.

[phone ringing]

Yeah, Lorenzo.

OK.

Uh, why don't you tell her
about five more minutes?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Stacy, your mom's
here to pick you up.

Let's go wash your face, OK?

It wasn't as bad as
you thought, was it?

Somebody was
trying to frame her.

Whoever it was knew
about her and Tony.

Now, why would a mother try
and frame her own daughter?

Well, maybe she thought
Stacy would get off.

Victim of molestation is going
to get the sympathy of a court.

Brenda Logan's
clearly not going

to win any mother
of the year awards,

but I can't picture her
putting her daughter

through an ordeal like that.
- No.

DOMINIC DIBARTO: Rita!

Sergeant Lorenzo,
it's getting closer.

Pop is meeting me here for a
sit down with your boss today.

Wait.

You, Donnie "Dogs," and Captain
Lipschitz all in the same room?

- Mhm.
- Huh.

So you're really going to
go through with this, huh?

Yeah.

Somehow the words
officer and DiBarto,

they don't go together too well.

Hey, hey, hey, if
I can convince Pop,

I can convince you, too.
It's gonna happen.

Believe me.

Well, that's great, Dominic.

Invite us to the
swearing in, huh?

- Good luck.
- How about the--

whoa, whoa, whoa.

What about these
exams I gotta take?

I hear they're pretty tough.

That depends on how
smart you are, tough guy.

Maybe you can
tutor me a little.

Like a one-on-one,
academically speaking.

How about I have
Jackie Shoes here pick

you up Saturday around 7ish.

We have a bite in
the private dining

room of my cousin Fredo's place,
talk about police procedure.

I don't think so, Dominic.

Thanks.

It's that incomplete
man thing again, isn't it?

You're right.

You're absolutely right.

I shouldn't get the
diploma till I graduate.

Dominic, you worked
with Tony Logan, right?

Did you ever meet his
partner Frank Danner?

No, but, uh, my
Uncle Vic knows

him from years back in Miami.

That's how I did the
business with Tony.

See, Danner had sent
Tony to Uncle Vic,

who sent me to do the deal.

Great.

DOMINIC DIBARTO:
Actually, Uncle Vic wanted

me to check the joint out.

See, Danner had been
trying to unload

the place for about
six months or so,

and, uh, made us a
really attractive offer.

Wait a minute.

An offer you couldn't refuse?

Hey, Uncle Vic could
refuse any offer.

It's what makes him Uncle Vic.

Wait a minute.

Frank said he didn't want to,
but that he might have to sell

the place, after Tony died.

Except for he
started trying to sell

it while Tony was still alive.

Right.

Right.

My point exactly.

See, I'm a natural
at this stuff!

I'm a boy detective.

April, you seen Frank?

Frank left a
couple of hours ago.

Where'd he go?

Guys owns the place now.

He comes and goes as he pleases.

Excuse me.

So have you seen him today?

Hi.

I'm Sergeant Lance.

How are you doing?
- Police?

Yeah.
Yeah.

I just-- uh, I just want to
ask you a couple of questions.

So, um, you were
here last Thursday

with Mr. Danner all day, right?

Open to close.

Si.
All day.

All day, huh?

So you're going to
tell me that Mr. Danner

never left once all day long?

We got a new refrigerator.

It took a long time to hook up.

A long time.

Mr. Danner help us.

You wouldn't happen to be
in this country illegally,

would you?

No.

Please.

No trouble, huh?

No, look, we're
not from immigration.

It's all right.

I've been in America
for seven years.

My family is here.

I've done nothing.

No, you haven't.

We don't want to deport you.

We just-- we want to know what
you know about Frank Danner.

Mr. Danner, he
told me to say he

was in the restaurant
all day, or he'd

have me shipped back to Cuba.

Bingo.

So he wasn't here all day.

He left after lunch and,
uh, came back around 5:00.

Please.

Don't tell him I talk to you.

No.

Don't worry about it.

We're not going to tell a soul.

This is just between
us, all right?

You're a good man.

We go back.

We got history.

So we had our differences.

What reason to
stand in Dominic's

way of realizing his dream?

Maybe your dream, too.

Why don't you just
bug my phones?

You got a suspicious
mind, Harry.

Dominic has no connection
with my business.

His record is spotless.

Why would you deny him?

He tried to bribe me to
grease his way into the Academy.

That's got to be
a misunderstanding.

Just that.

A misunderstanding here.

A misunderstood offer to
do a friend a small favor.

Small favor.

A sound system, a big
screen TV, a fish tank.

A fish tank?

It was a thought.

What's wrong with fish?

It was a gesture.

An appreciation for
an accommodation.

All right.

Here's what I'm going to do.

I ain't going to make
it any easier for you,

but I ain't going stand
in your way, either.

You make it, you make it on
your own, you're one of mine.

That's it.

End of discussion.

Bye bye.

A fair proposition.

You have my gratitude, Harry.

I don't want your gratitude,
I want your absence.

Get the hell out of here.
Take a hike.

My cousin Guido.

He's a top notch mechanic.

Give him a call.

He'll do your
brakes for 40 bucks.

He's a good guy.
- Four wheels?

All four wheels.

And he's honest.

Hey, thanks, DiBarto.

And, uh, good luck.

Guido does brakes
for 40 bucks?

Of course not.

Guido owes me a favor.

He does the brakes for 40 bucks,
now Lipschitz owes me a favor.

Let's get out of here, Pops.

How's Stacy?

Oh, Stacy's cool.

Sometimes I think she
should be the mother.

You're not trying to take
advantage of me, are you?

Well, I guess
you could say that.

You really screwed things
up, didn't you, Frank?

First you kill Tony in
my house, my own house,

and you do it a week too early.

Brenda, I told you
about the argument.

He knew about us.

Come on.

Come on.

You're a lousy liar, Frank.

You don't do it well at all.

If I didn't kill
him there and then,

it would have been too late.

I had no choice.

What are you doing?

A few gifts.

Me to you.

You killed my husband,
thinking you would seduce me,

but I turned you down.

You turned me down?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about why
you committed suicide.

[gun shot]

So I guess Frank
Danner's our man.

Yeah.

I guess you owe Deputy Dominic
that dinner now, don't you?

I'll send him
a thank you note.

[phone ringing]

He could end up
being your partner.

I already have a partner,
thank you very much.

Yeah, Sergeant Lance.

Patch her through.

Frank just left here.

He tried to rape me.

Cap, come here.

Looks like Frank had himself
a serious hope chest.

Whoa.

He must've been
infatuated with her.

You know what?

If Frank knew about
Tony and Stacy, maybe

he decided he'd framed the girl.

I mean, she was the one with
the obvious motive in this.

What about prints?
Anything there?

No.
Not even a smear.

What?

A keepsake like that
and he didn't handle it?

Come on.
It's very interesting.

You want to know what
else is very interesting?

There's no powder burns or
stippling around that wound.

Now, you almost always get
that with a gunshot suicide.

See what you can find
out from the neighbors.

All right, Cap.

You, over here.

I want to know now if this
guy fired a gun recently.

Excuse me.

Yeah.

I'm Sergeant Lorenzo.

I need to ask you a
couple of questions.

Sure.

Did you see anybody coming
in or out of Frank's apartment

earlier this afternoon?

Yeah, the Wednesday nooner.

She has been coming to see Frank
every Wednesday about 12:00

for, gosh, almost a year.

And it is kind of embarrassing.
- Why embarrassing?

Oh, because
they're so blatant.

I mean, they leave the blinds
open and the windows open,

and they are making so
much noise that it's--

it's just ridiculous.

Wait a minute.

Today is not Wednesday,
and it's way past noon.

Oh, yeah.

I think that's kind of
what caught my attention.

Did she look
anything like this?

Oh, yeah.

That's her.

Yeah, even with clothes on.

Gosh, she just left
here a few hours ago.

Yeah.

Well, it's a shame things
had to turn out this way,

but I'm just glad you
and Stacy weren't hurt.

Well, Frank was always a
little unstable, unpredictable.

But not like this.

You never know when
someone's going to snap.

Such a cowardly thing to do.

I suppose you could
look at it that way.

I resent what he
tried to do to me.

[phone ringing]

You don't go blowing
your brains out

when things start to get rough.

If Frank got himself
into something,

he should have stood up
and faced the consequences.

Excuse me.

Yeah, Sergeant Lance.

I think I just got
the same thing here.

Uh-huh.

Well, we'll be here.

OK.

How did you know
Frank shot himself?

Well, isn't that what he did?

I-- I thought you said that--

I said he committed suicide.

He could have
jumped off a bridge.

I guess I assumed.

He killed himself, he
probably used a gun.

Where were you
today, Mrs. Logan?

Nowhere, really.

Some errands.

Here mostly, alone,
trying to sort things out.

Was that before
or after you went

to Frank Danner's apartment?

I wasn't at his apartment.

You killed him, and you tried
to make it look like suicide.

No.

Frank killed your
husband, didn't he?

The two of you probably
planned it together.

Then you decide
to get rid of him.

Sure.

Pin it on the dead
guy who can't argue.

The obsessed lunatic
who gets suicidal

when he can't have you.

You know, that's very well
thought out, Mrs. Logan.

[tires screech]

You can't prove any of that.

Frank was tested
for gunpowder residue.

He hadn't shot a gun.

I'm betting the same
tests says that you have.

Detective Lance, what
are you doing here?

Stacy.

BRENDA LOGAN: Honey--
honey, go back upstairs.

Go back upstairs.

Mom, what's going on?

[music playing]

Stay here, Stacy.

What is it?

No!

RITA LEE LANCE:
You're under arrest

for the murder of Frank
Danner, and conspiracy

to murder Tony Logan.

No.

I couldn't help it, honey.

I had to do it.

I had to get away
from Tony, honey.

I didn't know what else to do.

You mean you
didn't do it because

of me, what he was doing to me?

Oh, Stacy, I didn't know.

I'd have killed myself if I had.

I'm so sorry, baby.

I'm so sorry.

Just give them a minute, OK?

BRENDA LOGAN: I'm so sorry.

Brenda had been used and
abused by Tony for years,

and she never told a soul.

She should've spoken up.

And if she had, it'd be him
sitting in jail instead of her

being locked up for murder.

Yeah.

Well, sometimes
the system doesn't

make that so easy to do.

Besides, I do not think that
Brenda was in real close

touch with reality.

You know what?

It's going to be
tough for Stacy.

And how's she going to be
able to trust anybody again?

Well, I'm going to
do what I can to get

a good set of foster parents.

That'll be a start
at least, you know?

Anybody ever tell you
that you're very nice?

Thank you very much.

You're welcome very much.

Deputy Dominic.

How you doing?

Not going to happen.

Uh, well, what
happened to the natural?

The guy who was born
to solve crimes.

The guy who was going to
give back to the system.

He became the take
care of business

and, uh, pay the bills guy.

I just discovered
one crucial detail.

- What's that?
- Starting salary.

I can't make it on
money like that.

I'd have to move on.

The money stinks.

Yeah.

You know Pop.

I mean, don't get me wrong.

I love the guy and
everything, but, uh, could

you live with Donnie "Dogs?"

Good point.

So I guess I gotta
go back to Miami.

You know, I hope you
understand this--

this thing we got here, this
long distance relationship,

it's-- it's--

it's hard to pull off
and everything, but--

Hey, a guy's got to do what
a guy's got to do, you know?

Well, sure.

You know, that's what's
special about you, Rita.

You understand.

You're a very understanding
lady, you know?
