HEY.

BALLPARK HOW LONG SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN HERE?

THE TENANT IN 2?B CAME OUT WITH THE TRASH

AT 7:10 THIS MORNING.

THE LIGATURE MARKS MAY BE A SCARF,

SOME KIND OF FABRIC.

THE BODY'S ARRANGED TOO NEAT.

GOT TO BE A DUMP JOB.

GOT A BOOK BAG.

I GUESS THEY DON'T CALL THEM BOOK BAGS ANYMORE.

BACKPACK.

HER PANTIES ARE PULLED DOWN HERE.

TENANT WHO CALLED IT IN KNOW HER?

ANY I. D. IN THERE?

JUST A FIRST NAME WRITTEN IN A BIO BOOK ??

ALYSSA. OTHERWISE, LIP GLOSS?TYPE STUFF,

FUZZY HAIR BANDS.

THEY TAKE ALL THIS STUFF TO SCHOOL WITH THEM.

IT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH SCHOOL.

NAME OF THE SCHOOL ANYWHERE?

NO. YOU KNOW WHAT MY DAUGHTER WRITES IN ALL HER BOOKS?

"THIS WAS STOLEN FROM KATIE MEDAVOY,"

AND THEN HER ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER.

"QUISQUE PRO OMNIBUS."

"SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE."

ARLINGTON ACADEMY OVER ON 14th STREET.

MY BOYFRIEND IN HIGH SCHOOL AND HIS SISTER WENT THERE.

LET ME CALL THE SCHOOL, SEE ABOUT HER PARENTS.

QUISQUE PRO OMNIBUS.

WOW.

THE THINGS THAT STICK IN YOUR HEAD, RIGHT?

YEAH.

ME AND TUCKER CRUISING ALONG IN THE RADIO CAR

WHEN THIS LOONEY TOONER STARTS FLAGGING US.

FOLLOWED HIM DOWN HERE, HE SHOWS US THIS GUY.

I SUPPOSE IT'S TOO MUCH TO HOPE HE'S GOT I. D. ON HIM.

LOOK AT THESE NECK BRUISES.

LOT OF DISCOLORATION.

YEAH, AND THESE ARE DEFINITELY FINGER MARKS UNDER HIS CHIN.

THIS GUY WAS STRANGLED.

WHERE MIGHT I FIND THIS WHACKO LOONEY TOONER?

HE'S OVER THERE BY THAT JURY?RIGGED HUT THING.

ALL RIGHT, WE'VE GOT NO I. D.

ON OUR OPEN AIR?LOVING FRIEND HERE.

WHEN CRIME SCENE COMES, JUST HAVE THEM TRY

TO LIFT PRINTS OFF ALL OF THIS STUFF.

I'M ASSUMING A LOT OF PEOPLE CAMP OUT HERE, RIGHT?

WE'VE ROUSTED 15, 16 GUYS OUT OF HERE, MOSTLY MEXICANS.

HEY, DANNY, COME HERE. YOU'VE GOT TO CHECK THIS OUT.

DO ME A FAVOR AND COVER THIS GUY UP AGAIN.

IS IT THAT KIND OF CAN?DO INGENUITY

MADE THIS COUNTRY GREAT, OR WHAT?

THIS GUY KNOWS SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW, THAT'S FOR SURE.

YEAH. THAT, AND SOMETHING ELSE, TOO.

IS THAT SO?

THIS IS MY PARTNER SORENSON.

OKAY. OKAY.

RADIO SHACK'S COMPETITION HERE IS NICHOLAS GILBERT.

NICHOLAS, TELL MY PARTNER HERE WHAT YOU JUST TOLD ME.

YOU GOT SOME INFORMATION FOR US, NICHOLAS?

I ALREADY SAID IT. IT'S ALREADY OUT THERE.

LIKE YOU, TOO, RIGHT, BUDDY?

COME ON. SAY WHAT YOU JUST TOLD ME.

NOTHING. NOTHING.

YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING UNUSUAL LAST NIGHT?

YOU JUST TOLD ME YOU SAW TWO GUYS FIGHTING OVER HERE.

NO, I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.

IF YOU DIDN'T, YOU DIDN'T, RIGHT?

YOU CAN'T HELP US IF YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO TELL.

EXCEPT FOR HOW I SAW THEM FIGHTING.

AH.

SAW WHO FIGHTING?

JEFE AND SOME OTHERS.

JEFE WOULD BE THE DEAD GUY?

COULD YOU SEE WHO HE WAS FIGHTING WITH?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

WHERE THEY LIVE, I HAVE NEVER BEEN.

WHY WOULD YOU? YOU'VE GOT CABLE.

THE THING TO DO IS COME ALONG WITH US NOW.

RIGHT NOW AFTER I PACK MY STUFF.

WE WERE ACTUALLY THINKING YOUR STUFF WOULD STAY.

NOT WITHOUT MY STUFF, I DON'T.

WE COULD GET OFFICER LINDSAY TO KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR STUFF.

NO. IF IT'S ME AND YOU,

THEN IT'S MY STUFF WITH YOU, OKAY?

OKAY?

OKAY.

OKAY. OKAY.

OKAY. OKAY.

WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING.

I'VE GOT IT. JUST KEEP MOVING.

STEADY, OKAY? STEADY, PLEASE.

WANT TO TELL YOUR BUDDY HE'D BETTER SHUT UP?

BACK UP, NICHOLAS, OKAY?

OKAY, STEP AWAY FROM THE CART, PLEASE.

PLEASE?

LOOK, IT'S A PACKAGE DEAL, HIM AND THE CART.

YOU HEARD.

IF HE SAYS HE WANTS A SPONGE BATH,

WE ALL JUMP IN THE TUB?

JOSH, SHOW NICHOLAS HERE TO INTERVIEW THREE.

THAT WAY.

WITNESS OR SUSPECT?

HE'S A WITNESS TO THAT D. O. A. UNDER THE FDR.

WE THINK HE CAN HELP.

HE THINKS HE CAN HELP.

IT'S JUST GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE DECIPHERING

'CAUSE HE'S OUT OF HIS ELEMENT

AND HE'S SCARED...

AND CRAZY. DON'T FORGET HE'S CRAZY.

ANYTHING ON THE D. O. A.?

YEAH. NICKNAME'S JEFE.

THIS IS A HOMELESS CAMP WE FOUND HIM IN,

SO, YOU KNOW ??

NO R?SUM?S LYING AROUND?

RIGHT.

HE'S GOT A MICROWAVE IN THERE, A TV,

AND AN ELECTRIC CAN OPENER.

HE HAS TO TAKE HIS DUMPS IN THE SHRUB,

BUT AT LEAST HE CAN GET A CAN OPEN

NICE AND SMOOTH.

OKAY, NICHOLAS, WE CAME THROUGH ON OUR END

WITH LUGGING THE CART UP AND ALL.

YOU'RE ALL WEARING METAL. I CAN SMELL IT.

ALL YOU KIND OF GUYS WEAR SO MUCH METAL,

AND IT HATES ME.

ALL RIGHT. YOU SEE THAT THERE?

THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL A GOOD?FAITH GESTURE.

OKAY, I WAS MAKING A POT NOODLE IN MY MICROWAVE.

WHEN MY MICROWAVE MOVES AROUND,

SOMETIMES WHEN IT COMES BACK IT DOESN'T WORK FOR A WHILE.

IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME TOO, I BET.

YOU WERE COOKING, AND HEARD JEFE FIGHTING WITH SOME GUYS?

I USED TO BE LIKE YOU.

I REALLY, REALLY WANTED TO KNOW THINGS SOMETIMES,

BUT NOW PEOPLE WANT ME TO DIE.

HEY, WE'RE NOT GOING TO HURT YOU,

AND ON ONE ELSE IS, EITHER.

AS LONG AS YOU'RE HERE WITH US, YOU'RE OKAY.

MAURICIO CAME IN WITH ME

TO WATCH A SOCCER MATCH ONCE,

AND HE STOLE MY SOCKS.

MAURICIO IS ONE OF THE GUYS

WHO WAS FIGHTING WITH JEFE?

UH?HUH. I LOOKED AND LOOKED,

AND MY SOCKS WERE GONE.

HE CAME BACK ONE DAY, AND HE WAS WEARING THEM.

MAURICIO? THE OTHER ONE.

IS THERE A NAME WEARING THESE SOCKS?

WHEN YOU SEE HIM, YOU JUST GOT TO HIDE

'CAUSE HE MIGHT HEAR JUST ONE WRONG WORD,

AND HE JUST HURTS,

AND HE CAME UP FROM BEHIND JEFE

AND PULLED HIM AWAY FROM MAURICIO BY THE NECK,

AND WHAT HE DID TO JEFE MADE HIM GO DOWN.

TELL US WHO THIS GUY IS AND WE CAN PICK HIM UP,

OR KEEP IT TO YOURSELF SO HE CAN CHOKE YOU

WITH A PAIR OF DISPUTED SOCKS, PROBABLY.

IT'S OKAY. YOU CAN TELL US.

DIEGO. SHH. SHH.

ALL RIGHT, YOU KNOW ANY PLACES

WHERE WE COULD MAYBE FIND EITHER OF THEM HANGING OUT?

MAURICIO, HE BEGS AT THE COUNTRY KITCHEN

FOR BOOZE MONEY.

WHERE'S THIS DIEGO HANG OUT?

IN THE SHADOWS.

ALL RIGHT, YOU JUST SIT TIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO GET SOMEBODY

TO KEEP YOU COMPANY. YOU'RE SAFE HERE.

OKAY IF I PUT MY WATCH BACK ON NOW?

LIVE YOUR LIFE HOW YOU WANT TO LIVE IT.

IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN GET YOU, MRS. LIPTON?

NO, THANK YOU.

WHEN THE SCHOOL CALLED ME AND TOLD ME ??

WHICH WE APOLOGIZE FOR.

WE ASKED THEM TO WAIT

UNTIL WE COULD TELL YOU IN PERSON.

AFTER THEY TOLD ME,

AFTER I COULD THINK A CLEAR THOUGHT,

I WENT TO ALYSSA'S ROOM

AND PRIED OPEN HER CONFIDENTIAL CHEST.

THAT'S WHAT SHE CALLED IT.

SHE NEVER LET ME LOOK IN THERE,

BUT NOW IT DOESN'T MATTER MUCH, DOES IT?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HERE,

THE THINGS SHE KEPT FROM ME.

THIS IS A BIG HELP, MRS. LIPTON.

DID ALYSSA SAY WHERE SHE WAS GOING TO BE LAST NIGHT?

SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HOME.

I'VE BEEN WORKING P. M. s THIS MONTH AT BELLEVUE.

I'M A NURSE,

AND I TOLD MY SUPERVISOR THAT I DIDN'T WANT P. M. s,

BUT I WORK IN THE CORONARY CARE UNIT,

AND THE REGULAR P. M. NURSE IS ON MATERNITY LEAVE,

AND IT WAS EITHER THAT OR PROBABLY LOSE MY JOB.

SO YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE WAS,

WHO SHE WAS GOING TO MEET UP WITH?

NO, I DON'T. SHE'D WITHDRAWN A LOT LATELY,

BUT THEY TELL YOU

AS LONG AS YOUR TEENAGER'S GETTING GOOD GRADES

AND ISN'T USING DRUGS OR ALCOHOL

AND KEEPS CURFEW, TO RESPECT THEIR INDEPENDENCE,

SO I DID, AND I DON'T KNOW.

DO YOU KNOW IF SHE WAS SEEING ANYONE?

I ASKED A COUPLE TIMES. SHE SAID NO.

ANY BOYS OR MEN SHE WAS CLOSE WITH?

I DON'T THINK SO.

ANY MEN IN YOUR LIFE WHO HAVE BEEN AROUND ALYSSA?

NO. ALYSSA'S DAD DIED WHEN SHE WAS 9.

WAS ALYSSA

ASSAULTED BEFORE SHE WAS KILLED?

THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS

THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.

WE CAN'T SAY FOR SURE.

SO SHE WROTE THESE FOR A CREATIVE WRITING CLASS?

SHE KEPT THEM LOCKED UP IN A BOX

WITH OTHER PERSONAL STUFF. MOTHER NEVER SAW THEM.

ANY OTHER PERSONAL STUFF STAND OUT?

NOT LIKE THESE ESSAYS.

IN THIS ONE WE'VE GOT THE GUY SEEING HER

WALK BY ON THE STREET, TO AND FROM SCHOOL EVERY DAY.

YOUNG GUY, 20s ABOUT. JANITOR OR SUPER, MAYBE.

SHE PASSES BY HIS BUILDING ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL.

HE FLIRTS, SHE LIKES IT. HE'S A CUTE GUY, MUSCLES.

HE'S OLDER. HE'S FUNNY. IT'S FLATTERING.

HE WALKS A SHORTCUT WITH HER BEHIND THE BUILDING.

THAT'S THE FIRST TIME HE RAPED HER?

SHE'S ASHAMED, KEEPS IT TO HERSELF AND STEERS CLEAR

UNTIL ONE DAY ON HER WAY HOME

HE'S WAITING AND SHE CAN'T HIDE.

AND HE SAYS IT'S HER FAULT FOR FLIRTING.

THIS IS WHERE SHE DESCRIBES HIS APARTMENT.

SOMETHING MAKES HER GO THERE WITH HIM.

MAYBE SHE THOUGHT SHE COULD CONTROL THE SITUATION THIS TIME.

WE GET A DECENT PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

IN THE SECOND ESSAY. MAYBE ENOUGH TO KNOCK ON DOORS.

I WOULDN'T MIND KNOCKING ON HER TEACHER'S DOOR,

SEE HOW HE COULD PUT A GRADE ON THESE SO?CALLED "STORIES"

AND THINK THAT SHOULD BE THE END OF IT.

YEAH. DEFINITELY DO THAT.

D.O.A.'s TWO BEST FRIENDS

ARE COMING IN WITH THEIR PARENTS.

THEY CANCELED CLASSES FOR THE REST OF TODAY.

SO THAT'S WHERE YOU GO EVERY DAY, HUH?

YOU SIT IN FRONT OF THAT DINER

TILL YOU'VE GOT IT UP TO GET LOADED?

YEAH. THAT'S MY PATCH, MAN.

THEM PEOPLE GOT THEIRS. THAT'S MINE.

YOU KNOW A GUY NAMED JEFE?

YEAH, I KNOW THE CHIEF.

HOW DO YOU KNOW HIM?

I'VE BEEN SLEEPING DOWN AT HIS PLACE.

HE WAS THERE FIRST.

UNDER A RAMP?LIKE THING.

I MET HIM THERE.

YOU SEE HIM THERE LAST NIGHT?

YEAH. LATER ON WE TALKED.

ABOUT WHAT?

FROSTBITE. I GOT IT LAST YEAR.

NOW I GET COLD,

IT GETS WHITE AND TINGLY AGAIN WHERE I GOT IT.

JEFE GOT IT ON HIS FACE ONE TIME REAL BAD.

WHO ELSE WAS THERE SWAPPING FROSTBITE STORIES

WITH YOU AND JEFE?

JUST HIM AND ME.

DIEGO DIDN'T DROP BY?

YEAH, HE MIGHT'VE.

15 OTHER GUYS SLEEP UNDER THERE REGULAR,

LOTS OF OTHER GUYS IN AND OUT ALL NIGHT.

WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ALL NIGHT.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU WERE B. S.'ing WITH JEFE.

YEAH, DIEGO MIGHT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR THAT.

JEFE'S ALWAYS GOT SOMETHING TO SLEEP ON,

EVEN IF IT'S JUST, LIKE, TURPENTINE.

SO, WHAT, JEFE WENT STINGY ON YOU?

THAT'S WHY YOU STARTED BEATING ON HIM?

NO, NO, NO, NO. I LEFT BEFORE THAT WENT DOWN, MAN.

NO, YOU WERE SEEN MAKING IT HAPPEN

WITH YOUR BUDDY DIEGO.

SEEN? WHO'S DOING ALL THIS SEEING?

IS IT NICHOLAS?

LET ME TELL YOU, NICHOLAS SEES LOTS OF STUFF.

YOU TWO GUYS SEEM TOO SMART TO BE

RUNNING AND JUMPING OFF WHAT NICHOLAS MIGHT BE SAYING.

AAH!

WE'RE SMART ENOUGH

NOT TO NEED YOUR WISE?ASS ADVICE.

I'M JUST SAYING, MAN ??

WE'RE JUST SAYING WE'VE GOT YOU

STANDING OVER JEFE WHEN JEFE WENT HORIZONTAL,

SO HIS MURDER LANDS ON YOU

UNLESS YOU GIVE US DIEGO.

NO, MAN. I AIN'T GIVING UP DIEGO,

AND THAT'S THE LAST I SAY HIS NAME.

YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE, MAURICIO.

NO, IT'S NICHOLAS MAKING THE MISTAKE, MAN.

YOU'RE AWFUL COCKY

FOR SOMEONE LOOKING AT A MURDER RAP.

I JUST TAKE IT DAY TO DAY, MAN.

YEAH, I'M JIM SYKES. I SPOKE WITH DETECTIVE MEDAVOY.

YEAH, I'M GREG MEDAVOY. THANKS FOR COMING IN.

JIM SYKES, LEWIS McCREADY,

OUR DAUGHTERS JOANNA AND KELLY.

THIS IS JUST AWFUL.

YEAH. WE'RE ALL VERY SORRY.

DETECTIVES RUSSELL AND JONES.

ANYTHING ON WHO MIGHT HAVE DONE THIS?

NOTHING YET.

WOULD YOU TWO MIND WAITING HERE

WHILE WE TALK TO YOUR DAUGHTERS?

IT'S A PROBLEM IF WE'RE IN THE ROOM?

KIDS ARE USUALLY MORE CANDID

WHEN THEY'RE NOT AROUND THEIR PARENTS.

THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH A LOT TODAY.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO ADD TO IT.

WE JUST NEED TO TALK TO PEOPLE THAT KNEW ALYSSA,

AND WE NEED THEM TO BE HONEST.

OKAY.

YOU TWO OKAY WITH THAT?

WE'RE RIGHT HERE IF YOU NEED US.

DID EITHER OF YOU SEE ALYSSA LAST NIGHT?

I DIDN'T. I'M GROUNDED THIS WEEK.

I CAN'T EVEN TALK ON THE PHONE.

DID SHE SAY WHERE SHE WAS GOING TO BE?

SHE DIDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING AT SCHOOL.

JOANNA?

NO.

SO YOU DON'T KNOW

IF ALYSSA WENT HOME DIRECTLY AFTER SCHOOL?

I THOUGHT SHE DID.

NORMALLY I WOULD HAVE CALLED HER LATER, BUT ??

SO ALYSSA SEEMED PRETTY NORMAL AT SCHOOL YESTERDAY?

I GUESS SO.

BUT LATELY, THE LAST MONTH OR SO,

SHE'S BEEN BUSY A LOT. KIND OF KEPT TO HERSELF.

RIGHT? KIND OF.

BUSY WITH WHAT? DID SHE SAY?

NO, BUT I GUESS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE THIS TIME OF YEAR.

LIKE, THEY EXTENDED VOLLEYBALL

TILL 8:30 EVERY DAY, RIGHT?

YEAH. DID SHE HAVE A BOYFRIEND?

THERE WAS TOM LAST SPRING, BUT THEY BROKE UP,

AND SHE SAID SHE WAS GLAD,

AND, ANYWAY, HE MOVED TO ST. LOUIS.

ANY OTHER GUYS IN HER LIFE SHE TALKED ABOUT?

NO, NOT REALLY.

LOTS OF GUYS HAD CRUSHES ON HER.

SHE WAS SO PRETTY.

THERE'S NOTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF

THAT MIGHT HELP US?

NO.

IF YOU DO THINK OF ANYTHING ??

ANYTHING THAT COULD HELP US FIND OUT WHO, UM,

KILLED YOUR BEST FRIEND, JUST COME BY OR CALL.

JUST YOU AND I WILL TALK.

HEY, SARGE, GET AN R.P. TO TRANSPORT OUR GUY IN THE CELL

OVER TO CENTRAL BOOKING.

WE'LL COME DOWN AFTER WE FINISH THE PAPERWORK.

GO LOOK FOR DIEGO NOW?

WHAT, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO WEAR OUR SHOES OUT NOW

LOOKING FOR A FIRST?NAME?ONLY HOMELESS GUY,

NO DESCRIPTION, NO PLACES? NO. WE'LL GIVE IT TO PATROL.

LET THE GUYS WHO KNOW THOSE STREETS

LOOK FOR THIS IDIOT

INSTEAD OF US WALKING AROUND AND CALLING HIS NAME OUT

LIKE WE'RE LOOKING FOR A LOST DOG OR SOMETHING.

HEY, ANDY, DANNY.

HEY. HOW'S IT GOING?

10 POUNDS. 20 MORE TO GO.

GOOD FOR YOU. LET PATROL HAVE IT.

NO, I STILL FEEL LIKE GOING OUT ANYWAY, OKAY, ANDY?

I'LL GRAB UP SOMEONE IN ANTI?CRIME

AND YOU DO THE FIVES ON MAURICIO.

HEY, GIBSON,

UH, HOW'S IT GOING?

SINCE YOU ASKED ME FIVE SECONDS AGO?

NO, THE 10 POUNDS. YOU LOOK GOOD.

IT'S A BITCH, ISN'T IT?

HOW'D YOU LOSE THE WEIGHT, ANDY?

STRESS.

HELL, I SHOULD BE COMING IN AT 95 POUNDS, THEN.

HEY, REMEMBER YOUR NIECE CYNTHIA? WHY WOULDN'T I?

HOW'S SHE DOING, ANYWAY?

SHE'S GOOD.

SHE MOVED HERE TO THE CITY A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.

JOB SWITCH.

NO KIDDING, HUH?

SHE ASKED ABOUT YOU A WHILE BACK.

I FIGURE I DID MY PART ALREADY, THOUGH.

HEY, WHY DON'T YOU TELL HER I SAID HI

THE NEXT TIME YOU TALK TO HER?

YOU TELL HER. I GOT HER NUMBER RIGHT HERE.

YOU GOT ONE OF THEM HAND PILOTS.

CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM MY KIDS.

YEAH, HUH?

I'LL BE TAKING A HAMMER TO THIS BY EASTER.

THIS IS THE WORST THING

THEY'VE EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH HERE.

BEFORE I STARTED THEY HAD, I THINK, ONE SUICIDE ??

CARBON MONOXIDE ?? BUT THAT WAS YEARS AGO.

WE HAVE THESE PAPERS ALYSSA WROTE

FOR YOUR CREATIVE WRITING CLASS.

WHAT WAS THE ASSIGNMENT EXACTLY?

I DON'T REALLY GIVE OUT ASSIGNMENTS.

I TELL THEM THE FORMAT. THEY COME UP WITH THEIR OWN TOPICS.

THAT WAY I DON'T GET 18 VERSIONS OF THE SAME THING.

WHAT DID YOU THINK

WHEN ALYSSA TURNED THIS TOPIC IN?

I THOUGHT THEY WERE VERY POWERFUL.

SHE WAS EXTREMELY TALENTED.

SO YOU WEREN'T DISTURBED, TROUBLED?

WHEN SHE HANDED IN THIS FIRST ONE,

I WAS GREATLY ENCOURAGED.

THEY WERE ALL VISCERAL, ANGRY, DETAILED,

THE CONVICTION OF IT.

AND WHEN THE SECOND ONE CAME?

I WAS CONCERNED, CERTAINLY,

BUT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

YOU MEAN OTHER THAN ASKING HER ABOUT IT?

LAST YEAR A COLLEAGUE

WROTE A RECOMMENDATION TO PRINCETON

FOR ONE OF HIS STUDENTS.

WHEN SHE WAS ACCEPTED, SHE WAS SO THRILLED,

SHE HUGGED HIM IN FRONT OF THE CLASS,

AND THEN THE WHISPERS STARTED.

SOON HE WAS INFORMED THAT A DIFFERENT GIRL

WAS SAYING THAT HE HAD MADE ADVANCES TOWARD HER,

AND THEN ANOTHER.

HE WAS ASKED TO GO ON SABBATICAL

WHILE THE RUMORS WERE INVESTIGATED.

EVENTUALLY HE WAS BROUGHT UP BEFORE THE BOARD

AND FIRED.

THEN, SIX WEEKS LATER, HIS WIFE FILED FOR DIVORCE.

IT'S A MODERN?DAY SALEM.

SO YOU WERE AFRAID TO TALK TO ALYSSA,

OR TO ANYONE ABOUT HER?

I DID FINALLY SPEAK WITH HER.

THIS IS HER THIRD STORY,

THE LAST ONE.

UGH. IN IT SHE FINALLY WROTE HIS NAME ??

CHRIS MANAHAN.

NOW, WHETHER THIS CHRIS IS REAL OR IMAGINED,

I DON'T KNOW.

AND YOU HELD ONTO THIS BECAUSE?

SHE WOULDN'T TAKE IT BACK,

AND IT WAS THEN THAT I ASKED HER,

IF SHE NEEDED TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING,

I WOULD PUT HER IN TOUCH WITH SOMEONE

WHO COULD HELP HER,

BUT SHE JUST SHOOK HER HEAD AND WALKED AWAY.

THAT'S ALL I COULD DO.

UH, YEAH, HI. IS, UH, CYNTHIA THERE?

OH, HEY. UH, THIS IS ANDY SIPOWICZ,

REMEMBER, FROM ??

YEAH. YEAH, HOW'S IT GOING?

I HEARD YOU MOVED BACK TO THE CITY,

AND, UH, HOW'S THAT GOING?

GOOD.

SO, I WAS THINKING MAYBE I'D, UH,

THAT I'D TREAT YOU

TO A BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

"WELCOME TO NEW YORK" DINNER, OR LUNCH,

WHATEVER YOU'RE AMENABLE TO.

WELL, UH,

COULD YOU HOLD ON A SECOND?

LET ME JUST CHECK MY CALENDAR.

WELL, HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?

ACTUALLY, I DO HAVE AN OPENING TONIGHT,

SO I GUESS THAT WOULD MAKE IT DINNER, RIGHT?

YEAH, GO AHEAD. YOU TAKE THAT CALL,

AND I'LL JUST ?? I'LL SEE YOU THERE AT 8:00.

SAME SPOT? YEAH, YOU REMEMBER HOW TO GET THERE?

OKAY. YEAH. BYE?BYE.

OH, BOY.

THEO.

I NEED A SITTER FOR THEO.

UH, JOHN,

I'M GOING TO NEED TO ASK YOU A BIG FAVOR.

NAME IT.

YOU THINK YOU COULD SQUEEZE IN

A LITTLE TRIM LATER?

SURE.

THANKS.

UH, YEAH, DESMOND. HEY, HOW YOU DOING?

ANDY SIPOWICZ.

LISTEN, YOUR DAUGHTER, SHE'S A BABYSITTER, RIGHT?

WOW.

LAW SCHOOL, HUH? TIME SURE FLIES, HUH?

HEY.

THE MANAGER WILL BE BACK IN AN HOUR.

YOU CHRIS MANAHAN?

YEAH. WHY?

COME ON DOWN.

WE NEED YOU TO COME WITH US, ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS.

ABOUT WHAT?

WE'LL TELL YOU WHEN YOU GET DOWN HERE.

NO. I AIN'T MOVING TILL I KNOW WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

WANT TO TAKE THE EXPRESS?

WHOA!

GET DOWN HERE.

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

YOU DONE SOMETHING YOU NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT, CHRIS?

NO.

THEN LET'S GO HAVE A FRIENDLY CONVERSATION.

LET'S HAVE IT HERE.

GET YOUR ASS IN THE CAR.

SO, MAYBE YOU DID DO SOMETHING

YOU NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT.

LAST TIME I GOT IN BACK OF ONE OF THOSE,

I WENT AWAY FOR TWO YEARS.

YOU MEAN FOR THAT RAPE YOU DID IN CONEY ISLAND?

WHICH WAS A RAILROAD ?? TWO YEARS

BECAUSE THEY TOOK THAT SKANKY CHEESE BAG'S STORY

OVER MINE.

YEAH, RIGHT. GET GOING.

EVER THOUGHT ABOUT JUST SAYING THE HECK WITH IT

AND TAKING THIS ALL DOWN WITH CLIPPERS?

NO.

SO, A DATE, I GUESS?

I WASN'T LISTENING, BUT I COULDN'T HELP BUT HEAR.

I?I HOPE YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE.

YEAH, YOU KNOW,

IT'S, UH, TIME TO GET BACK UP ON THE HORSE, I FIGURE.

DETECTIVE, I'M JUST GOING TO PUT THIS OUT THERE, OKAY?

OKAY.

I COULD BABYSIT FOR THEO IF YOU'RE STUCK.

WELL, UH, I'LL TELL YOU,

I, UH, I ACTUALLY GOT A COUPLE OF CALLS OUT,

AND, UH, YOU KNOW,

I FIGURE I'LL GIVE THEM FIRST CRACK AT IT

SINCE, UH, SINCE I CALLED THEM FIRST.

SURE, BUT IF NO ONE IS AVAILABLE,

I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO IT.

WELL, THAT'S NICE OF YOU, JOHN.

I BABYSIT FOR MY NEPHEWS QUITE OFTEN,

AND THEY'RE RIGHT AROUND THEO'S AGE.

OKAY, WELL, I'LL CONSIDER THAT,

AND, UH, IF IT COMES DOWN TO IT,

WE'LL SEE WHERE WE'RE AT,

BUT I'M PRETTY SURE I GOT SOMEBODY LINED UP.

JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE...

AS A FRIEND.

OKAY, LOOK AT THAT.

THAT'S JUST GREAT. THAT LOOKS REAL GOOD.

REAL GOOD.

OKAY. THANKS A LOT.

BYE.

BYE.

HEY.

NOTHING ON DIEGO,

BUT HE'S SURE GOT A REP OUT THERE AS A TOUGH CUSTOMER.

HE'LL TURN UP.

SO, MEANTIME, DO WE KICK MAURICIO

OR SEE IF HE LEADS US TO HIM?

IT WOULD BE SOME PAIN IN THE ASS

TAILING A HOMELESS GUY.

I'M JUST A LITTLE WORRIED THAT THIS NICHOLAS ??

HIS TESTIMONY WON'T STAND UP.

THAT'S A CONCERN, YEAH.

EVEN THOUGH HE SAW THE WHOLE THING GO DOWN,

HE CAN NAME THE PLAYERS, AND HE HAS NO HIDDEN AGENDA ??

IT ALL GOES OUT THE WINDOW

BECAUSE HE TAKES AN OCCASIONAL REALITY BREAK.

ALL RIGHT, LISTEN, WE KEEP MAURICIO IN THE SYSTEM ??

LET HIM KNOW WE MEAN BUSINESS,

AND THEN WE YANK HIM OUT TOMORROW.

SEE IF HE'S FEELING A LITTLE BOXED IN

AND READY TO DEAL.

I'M ALSO A LITTLE WORRIED THAT MAYBE ONE OF THE REASONS

THIS MAURICIO IS SO COCKY ABOUT GOING IN

IS THAT HE'S GOING TO PUT THE WORD OUT ON NICHOLAS.

ALSO A CONCERN.

I'M GOING TO GO TALK TO THE DESK SERGEANT

AND TRY AND SNAG NICHOLAS A CELL DOWNSTAIRS.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FREEZING TONIGHT ANYWAY.

DO YOU KNOW ALYSSA LIPTON?

OH, HELL. NOW WHAT'S SHE SAYING?

HOW DO YOU KNOW HER?

WE'VE TALKED A COUPLE OF TIMES.

ABOUT WHAT?

NUCLEAR FUSION. MAN, WE TALKED.

YOU FLIRT WITH HER?

YEAH. 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU DO WITH A FLIRT ??

YOU FLIRT, SO, YEAH.

LOSE THE TONE, CHRIS.

YOU'RE SAYING SHE FLIRTED WITH YOU?

SHE WOULD ASK ME IF SHE COULD FEEL MY BICEP, FOR GOD'S SAKE.

I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK TO THAT?

I'M NOT MADE OF STONE.

THAT WHY YOU RAPED HER LIKE THAT GIRL ON CONEY ISLAND?

RAPED ALYSSA? NO WAY.

BUT YOU DID HAVE SEX?

LISTEN, THIS CHICK WOULD HANG AROUND,

WATCH ME WORK, ASK ME IF HER SKIRT WAS TOO SHORT.

IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING YOU'D READ IN "FORUM."

I'M NOT KIDDING.

I TRIED TO RESIST,

BUT THIS GIRL CAME ON TO ME LIKE COFFEE ??

HOT AND STRONG.

I MEAN, I'M A MAN.

YOU'RE NOT MADE OF STONE.

THAT'S MY POINT EXACTLY.

SO YOU HAD SEX WITH ALYSSA LIPTON?

I TOLD HER TO RUN ALONG.

I TOLD HER MORE TIMES THAN MOST GUYS WOULD'VE,

BUT SHE ALWAYS CAME BY.

YES OR NO ?? DID YOU HAVE SEX?

YES, OKAY?

YOU KNOW HOW OLD SHE IS?

YEAH. 18.

15.

GET OUT. SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS 18.

IF SHE'S 18, WHY ARE YOU RESISTING SO MUCH ??

TELLING HER TO GET LOST?

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION, YOU KNOW?

I DON'T GOT AN ANSWER FOR THAT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

15 MAKES IT STATUTORY RAPE,

SO IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR SIDE IS.

15 MAKES YOU A SCUMBAG RAPIST OF LITTLE GIRLS

AND PUTS YOU FRONT AND CENTER FOR WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?

ALYSSA LIPTON WAS STRANGLED TO DEATH.

WHOA.

WE FOUND HER BODY THIS MORNING

ACROSS THE STREET FROM YOUR BUILDING.

THAT'S WHAT ALL THOSE COPS WERE OVER THERE FOR?

THAT WAS ALYSSA DEAD OVER THERE?

OKAY, NOW HEAR THIS ??

I AIN'T SEEN THAT CHICK IN TWO WEEKS,

AND LAST NIGHT

I WAS AT A BUDDY OF MINE'S BACHELOR PARTY IN JERSEY CITY.

I PASSED OUT AT RON'S PLACE AFTER.

I JUST MADE IT BACK FOR THE OIL DELIVERY AT NOON TODAY.

I GOT 20 OTHER GUYS WHO'LL TELL YOU.

THE BARTENDERS WILL TELL YOU.

ALL NIGHT, ALL MORNING ?? THERE WERE PEOPLE ALL AROUND.

I'LL DO A DNA THING. I'LL TAKE A LIE DETECTOR.

I DID NOT KILL THAT GIRL.

NO WAY.

SO, UH, YOU GOT THAT CELL LINED UP FOR NICHOLAS.

THAT'S GOOD.

YEAH. HOPEFULLY WE CAN FIT HIS CART IN.

OTHERWISE, IT'S PLAN "B."

WHAT'S UP?

HEY, ARE YOU FREE TONIGHT TO WATCH THEO MAYBE?

OH, NO, ANDY. I'M GOING OUT TO DINNER WITH MY SISTER.

OH, OKAY.

WHY? YOU GOT A DATE?

IT'S JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING I GOT TO DO.

WHAT ABOUT KATIE?

NO, NO, 'CAUSE, UH ?? YEAH, IT IS A DATE I'M GOING ON,

AND I, UH, SHE'D ?? IT JUST WOULDN'T BE RIGHT.

WELL, I WISH I COULD HELP YOU OUT, ANDY.

GAY JOHN OFFERED.

THAT'S MY LUCK, IN A NUTSHELL.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH JOHN BABYSITTING?

HE'S GAY. THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT.

I MEAN, COME ON, ANDY, HOW LONG YOU KNOWN HIM?

A LONG TIME, AND HE'S BEEN GAY EVERY DAY OF IT.

YEAH, BUT THIS IS JOHN, THOUGH.

I'D TRUST MY LIFE WITH JOHN.

YEAH, WELL, SO WOULD I,

BUT I AM TALKING ABOUT TRUSTING HIM WITH MY 5?YEAR?OLD BOY.

ANDY, HE'S GAY. HE'S NOT A CHILD MOLESTER.

YOU CAN TRUST JOHN TO BE ALONE WITH THEO.

SO YOU'D LET HIM SIT WITH YOUR KID IF YOU HAD ONE?

IN A NEW YORK MINUTE.

YEAH. OKAY.

HEY, DID DIANE SAY ANYTHING TO YOU?

SHE SAID IT ENDED. THAT'S ALL SHE SAID.

OH, I REALLY SCREWED IT UP, ANDY.

I HAD MY CHANCE WITH HER AND I SCREWED IT UP.

NOBODY SCREWED NOTHING UP. IT JUST ?? IT DIDN'T TAKE.

THAT HAPPENS.

I FELT LIKE A KID AROUND HER.

I ACTED LIKE A KID ?? ALL CLINGY.

I WAS OUT OF MY HEAD.

COME ON. I NEED SOME HELP GETTING THAT CART DOWNSTAIRS.

HEY, I DON'T GOT TO WORRY ABOUT YOU, RIGHT?

NO.

JUST REMEMBER ?? THE FIRST THING YOU DON'T WANT TO DO

IS LET WHAT HAPPENED MAKE YOU START NOT WANTING TO BE HERE.

SO THIS MANAHAN ?? HE ALIBIED OUT?

YEAH. BACHELOR PARTY IN JERSEY CITY.

ALL DAY YESTERDAY AND LAST NIGHT.

HE RAPED THIS GIRL, THOUGH. READ HER ESSAYS.

IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL ANY BETTER,

YOU CAN RUIN HIS DAY AND LOCK HIM UP,

BUT ONCE IT GETS TO MY DESK ?? NO COMPLAINANT, NO COMPLAINT.

GREAT.

HE DID TIME FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT TWO YEARS AGO.

ONE MORE LOG ON THE FIRE SHOWS HE RAPED THIS GIRL.

DOES HE OWE ANY MORE TIME?

HIS PAROLE ENDED SIX MONTHS AGO.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO?

CHECK AND SEE IF HE REGISTERED AS A SEX OFFENDER YET

IN HIS CURRENT ADDRESS.

IF HE HASN'T, I CAN MAKE A MEAL OUT OF THAT.

WE CHECKED. HE REGISTERED.

THEN I RECOMMEND VOIDING THE ARREST.

CALL CENTRAL BOOKING, VOID THE ARREST, AND KICK HIM.

WELL, LET SOMEONE ELSE BE THE BEARER OF HIS GOOD NEWS.

"YOUR ACCUSER CAN'T CONFRONT YOU

"BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE MURDERED HER,

SO GO FORTH, RAPIST, AND PROSPER."

I'LL KICK HIM.

Diane: I'LL HELP.

AND, UH, I'LL CALL CENTRAL BOOKING.

THEN I'LL GO HOME AND CHECK IN WITH MY YOUNGEST.

FIND OUT WHAT SHE'S LEARNING IN SCHOOL.

I'M SORRY. I WISH THERE WAS MORE I COULD DO.

PEOPLE ARE SAYING GOOD THINGS ABOUT YOU.

THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR. THANK YOU.

KEEP IT UP.

I WILL.

DID YOU CALL THEM?

DID THEY TELL YOU?

15, 16 SHOTS, AT LEAST, I DID.

BEAT IT.

I CAN GO?

FUNNY. YOU SOUND SURPRISED.

I'M NOT SURPRISED. I'M VALIDATED.

WHY ?? BECAUSE YOU GOT AWAY WITH RAPING A 15?YEAR?OLD GIRL?

THAT AIN'T WHAT HAPPENED.

NO, THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED, CHRIS,

AND YOU SHOULD START MAKING TRACKS

WHILE YOUR LUCK IS STILL GOOD.

LATER.

NOW WHAT?

WE DONE?

NOW WE'RE DONE.

CAN I TAKE A MESSAGE?

HOLD ON ONE SECOND. HERE HE IS.

SIPOWICZ.

OH, YEAH. HEY, HOW'S IT GOING?

SO YOU GOT MY MESSAGE?

OH, OKAY.

WELL, I, UH, I APPRECIATE YOUR CALLING BACK.

MAYBE NEXT TIME. RIGHT.

MM?HMM. YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, JOHN, UH,

I'LL TAKE YOU UP ON IT.

YOU'RE SURE?

YEAH. LIKE, UH, 7:30.

ONLY IF YOU'RE 100% COMFORTABLE, DETECTIVE,

BECAUSE THE WHOLE IDEA

IS YOU BEING COMFORTABLE WHEN YOU GO OUT

SO YOU CAN HAVE A GOOD TIME.

NO, I'M, UH, I'M COMFORTABLE. REALLY.

AND GRATEFUL.

7:30.

7:30.

JOANNA?

HI.

HEY. COME ON.

OVER HERE.

DO YOU THINK YOU EITHER KEEP A PROMISE ALL THE WAY

OR YOU DON'T?

I THINK THAT IF YOU BREAK A TRUST...

IT HAS TO BE FOR A VERY GOOD REASON.

BUT IF YOU AGREED

TO KEEP SOMEONE'S SECRET IF THEY KEPT YOURS,

NO MATTER WHAT,

THEN MAYBE THERE'S NO GOOD REASON.

DID YOU MAKE A PACT LIKE THAT WITH ALYSSA?

WE SAID NO MATTER WHAT...

BUT WE NEVER TALKED IF ONE OF US EVER...

YOU KNOW, DIED.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE GOING BACK ON A PROMISE.

A TRUE FRIEND WOULD TRY TO HELP HER NOW.

THAT'S A GOOD REASON ?? THE ONLY ONE.

ALYSSA SAID THAT HER AND MR. JESSUP ??

THEY WERE TOGETHER,

BUT IF ANYONE FOUND OUT,

IT WOULD'VE BEEN BEYOND BAD FOR HIM,

FOR HIS JOB, AND EVERYTHING.

HOW LONG HAD THAT BEEN GOING ON?

I GUESS A MONTH OR SO.

WERE THEY HAVING SEX?

SHE SAID THEY DID IT IN HIS CAR

THE FIRST FEW TIMES,

BUT THEN THEY WENT TO THIS PLACE ??

THE CLEMENTS HOUSE ?? LIKE A HOTEL.

SHE LIKED THAT A LOT BETTER.

I'M REALLY GLAD YOU CAME BACK, JOANNA.

NOW THAT SHE'S DEAD,

HAVING SECRETS SEEMS EVEN WRONGER NOW.

I HOPE SHE'S NOT MAD AT ME.

I'M SURE SHE'S NOT. I WOULDN'T BE.

MY STUFF IS ALL WIGGLY 'CAUSE IT'S FREE.

WELL, I'M SURE ANYTHING YOU NEED,

THERE WILL BE SOMEONE AROUND, AND HERE'S YOUR PIZZA.

YOU GOT A WHOLE PIE ALL TO YOURSELF.

I FELT THIS ALL COMING BEFORE IT WAS THERE.

LIKE A STORM ?? LIKE A DOG BEFORE A STORM.

I JUST SHOOK, AND SHOOK, AND...

HEY, DON'T BE SCARED. IT'S ALL GOING TO WORK OUT.

THE DOOR. I WON'T MAKE IT IF THEY CLOSE THE DOOR.

ALL RIGHT, HOW ABOUT THIS? HUH? THAT ALL RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT, I'LL MAKE SURE

THE OFFICER KNOWS TO KEEP IT OPEN.

HERE'S YOUR PIE.

HERE YOU GO. THAT'S FOR YOU. IT'S A MAGNET.

THAT BELONGS TO YOU NOW.

I'LL PUT THIS UP ON MY FRIDGE, AND IT'S GOING TO STAY THERE.

OH, REALLY? WELL, OKAY, IF YOU THINK SO.

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.

I KNOW THAT'S TRUE. IT IS. IT IS. WAIT.

SHAKE ON IT, RIGHT? SHAKE ON IT.

YOU'RE ONE OF THE GOOD PEOPLE.

YOU ARE, TOO, NICHOLAS.

JUST HANG IN THERE THE BEST YOU CAN.

WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN.

DID THAT THIRD PAPER I GAVE YOU OF HERS

HELP AT ALL WITH THAT ?? WHAT'S?HIS?NAME ??

CHRIS MANAHAN?

YEAH, THAT'S HIS NAME.

WE PICKED UP CHRIS AS A RESULT.

OH, WELL, THAT'S GREAT TO HEAR. I'M GLAD I COULD HELP.

EXCEPT CHRIS DIDN'T KILL HER.

THAT'S CONCLUSIVE?

THAT IS.

BUT YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT ME LOOKING AT SOME PICTURES.

WELL, UH, NOT SOME. JUST ONE.

OKAY. THAT'S MY LICENSE PHOTO.

THE EVENING SHIFT DESK CLERK AT THE CLEMENTS HOUSE HOTEL

I.D.'d YOU FROM THAT PICTURE.

PLUS ?? WITNESSES PUT YOU AND ALYSSA

IN AND OUT OF A ROOM THERE.

OKAY.

OKAY WHAT?

OKAY, I WOULD MEET ALYSSA AT THAT HOTEL SOMETIMES...

AND, YES, WE WERE INTIMATE.

I DID NOT KILL THAT GIRL.

YOU'RE NOT TALKING

TO A BUNCH OF 15?YEAR?OLDS HERE, MR. JESSUP.

I THINK MAYBE I NEED TO TALK TO A LAWYER.

NO QUESTION. YOU CAN DO THAT,

BUT YOU ASK FOR A LAWYER, AND WE'RE OUT OF IT,

AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW,

YOU GET DRAGGED THROUGH A LONG TRIAL.

YOUR FACE IS ALL OVER THE NEWS.

YOUR WIFE AND KIDS? THEY'RE IN THE NEWS.

INMATES YOU'LL BE BUNKING WITH ONE DAY ??

THEY'LL KNOW YOU, AND YOU'LL BE MARKED,

AND THEY WON'T CARE WHAT THE REAL STORY IS.

THEY'LL JUST KNOW YOU AS THE GUY THEY SAW ON THE 6:00 NEWS

WHO WAS CONVICTED OF RAPING AND KILLING A 15?YEAR?OLD.

OR YOU CAN, UH, HOLD OFF ON THE LAWYER

AND WORK WITH US...

KEEPING IT AS PRIVATE AS POSSIBLE.

ALYSSA'S FRIENDS

SAID YOU WERE BOTH DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER,

AND WHEN THAT'S THE CASE,

IT CAN BE CALLED CRIME OF PASSION. USE IT.

SHE HAD HER SIGHTS SET ON ME.

THE LONG LOOKS, HANGING AROUND AFTER CLASS,

FOLLOWING ME OUT TO THE CAR, PRESSING NOTES INTO MY HAND,

AND I WARNED HER.

I TOLD HER THIS WAS INAPPROPRIATE,

BUT THAT WAS LIKE FUEL TO HER. FINALLY ??

AND THEN YOU COULDN'T LET HER GO.

SHE COULDN'T LET ME GO ?? WOULDN'T.

SO YOU GOT ANGRY WITH HER.

I GOT SCARED. THE PHONE CALLS,

THE THREATENING NOTES LEFT UNDER MY WIPER BLADE,

COMING TO MY HOUSE, WANTING TO TALK TO MY WIFE.

I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN, FOR GOD'S SAKE.

I SAW MY LIFE UNRAVELING.

AND YOU KILLED ALYSSA TO SHUT HER UP.

NO. I AGREED TO SEE HER, AND I PLEADED WITH HER.

SHE WOULD NOT LISTEN, AND I RAISED MY FIST TO SHOCK HER ??

TO SCARE HER ??

TO LET HER KNOW THAT I WAS SERIOUS TO LEAVE ME ALONE.

SHE JUST STARTED SCREAMING, AND I?I GRABBED HER NECK...

AND I GUESS I MUST HAVE BLACKED OUT AT THAT POINT.

I DON'T REMEMBER MUCH AFTER THAT.

DO YOU HAVE A HISTORY OF BLACKOUTS

OR WAS THIS A ONE?TIME DEAL?

AND THIS CHRIS MANAHAN WHO RAPED ALYSSA ??

SET THIS WHOLE NIGHTMARE IN MOTION ??

WHAT HAPPENS TO HIM?

LET'S WORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU.

[ IMITATES CARS CRASHING ]

COME HERE, THEO.

NO. I'M WARM. I HAVE SOCKS ON, TOO.

YEAH, BUT, UH, YOU SHOULD PUT THIS ON, TOO.

I?I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BE IN JUST PAJAMAS.

I'M FINE.

NOW, YOUR BABYSITTER'S NAME ??

THEO, JUST LISTEN TO DADDY, OKAY?

YOUR BABYSITTER IS NAMED JOHN,

AND HE WORKS WITH DADDY, AND HE'S A GOOD GUY.

WILL JOHN PLAY CAR CRASH PILEUP?

UH, LISTEN UP, SON.

NOW, UH, JOHN IS A FRIEND,

AND, UH, I WOULDN'T HAVE HIM BABYSIT YOU IF HE WASN'T,

BUT THE SAME RULE APPLIES TO JOHN

AS TO EVERYBODY ELSE WHEN I'M NOT AROUND.

WHAT'S THAT RULE?

NOBODY TREATS ME BAD.

NOBODY, AND IF THEY EVER DID...

I TELL YOU.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WILL JOHN PLAY CAR CRASH PILEUP?

[ DOORBELL RINGS ]

WELL, UH,

JOHN DOESN'T STRIKE ME AS A GEAR HEAD SOMEHOW.

JOHN.

DETECTIVE.

COME ON IN.

UH, THIS IS THEO.

THIS IS JOHN FROM WORK.

HELLO.

NICE TO MEET YOU, THEO.

I'VE HEARD SO MANY GREAT THINGS ABOUT YOU.

NOW, I BROUGHT YOU A GIFT,

BUT I'M GOING TO GIVE IT TO YOUR DAD

BECAUSE I'M SURE HE'S TOLD YOU

NEVER TO TAKE ANYTHING DIRECTLY FROM A STRANGER.

ANYBODY EVER WANTS TO GIVE SOMETHING TO YOU,

THEY SEE YOUR DAD FIRST. HERE, DAD.

PLEASE, PLEASE,

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.

YES.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.

IT'S MY FIRST?TIME? SITTING?FOR?THEO PRESENT.

JOHN, CAN WE PLAY CAR CRASH PILEUP?

IS DAD OKAY WITH CAR CRASH PILEUP?

YEAH. YEAH, DAD'S OKAY WITH IT.

THANKS.

I'M, UH, SORRY.

THAT'S THE LAST TIME I CHECK IN.

DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

WELL, IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN OUT SINCE ??

SINCE THE LAST TIME THAT WE WERE OUT,

AND, UH, IT'S MY FIRST TIME

AWAY FROM MY LITTLE GUY IN A WHILE.

YOU CHECK IN AS OFTEN AS YOU WANT.

AND, UH, HE'S GOT A NEW SITTER TONIGHT,

SO THAT'S WHY I KEEP CHECKING IN, YOU KNOW?

'CAUSE HE'S NEW ?? THE SITTER.

I'LL, UH, I'LL STOP WITH ALL THAT NOW.

YOU'RE AN ATTENTIVE, LOVING FATHER.

STOP THINKING THAT'S NOT ATTRACTIVE.

OKAY, BUT, UM, RIGHT NOW FROM HERE ON OUT,

YOU AND ME ARE ENJOYING DINNER,

WHICH, UH, I'D LIKE TO SAY

I'M GLAD YOU WERE ABLE TO BE HERE

WITH THIS SHORT NOTICE AND EVERYTHING.

OH, YEAH, MY CALENDAR IS VERY FULL.

ORDINARILY, YOU'D HAVE TO GET IN LINE.

NO, I'M LUCKY IT WORKED OUT.

WELL, I DON'T GET OUT MUCH, ANDY.

I'M THE LUCKY ONE.

NO.

IF I DO GO OUT,

IT'S TO A READING BY ONE OF OUR AUTHORS

OR BY AN AUTHOR WE MIGHT WANT TO WORK WITH

OR JUST AN AUTHOR I LIKE.

OTHERWISE, I'D JUST BE HOME IN BED WITH A BOOK.

WELL, THAT'S ??

THAT'S BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE THINGS YOU LIKE TO DO,

SO YOU DO THEM.

THAT'S NOT BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE OTHER OPTIONS...

AN ATTRACTIVE WOMAN LIKE YOU.

ANDY ??

I'M LUCKY THAT YOU WERE FREE TONIGHT,

AND I'M GLAD THAT YOU MOVED BACK INTO THE CITY.

I COULD SAY NICE THINGS ABOUT YOU, TOO.

WELL, HEY,

DON'T FEEL ANY PRESSURE ON THAT OR NOTHING.

WELL, I COULD.

MY UNCLE EDDIE TOLD ME SOME THINGS TO START WITH.

GIBSON? UH, EDDIE DID?

WELL, I ASKED HIM TO, BUT, YEAH.

I WON'T SAY WHAT ALL HE TOLD ME,

BUT IT WAS ALL GOOD STUFF, REST ASSURED.

YOU EVER BEEN TO THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING?

ONCE, BUT, GOD ?? YEARS AGO.

YOU WANT TO GO AFTER THIS?

I MEAN, SEE IF ANYTHING HAS CHANGED?

SURE...

BUT IS IT EVEN OPEN?

WELL, IF NOT, I'LL TIN US IN.

REALLY?

IT'S MY KEY TO THE CITY.

IT COULD REALLY COME IN HANDY ON A NIGHT LIKE THIS.
