DESK SERGEANT: IN EARLY, ANDY.

YEAH. HOW'S IT GOING?

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

HEY. HOW'D HE DO THROUGH THE NIGHT?

HE SEEMED TO DO ALL RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, THIS GUY'S NOT STUPID, YOU KNOW?

THIS STORY IN THE BIBLE AROUND WHAT HE SHOWED ME YESTERDAY,

HE SHOWS ME A GUY GOING FORTH ON HIS ASS, YOU KNOW?

WHAT LEADS TO THAT,

THE CHILD GOES OUT TO HIS FATHER,

AND WHILE HE'S WITH HIS FATHER,

HE GETS HURT AND THEN AT HIS HOME HE DIES

AND THEN THE HOLY MAN COMES, AND HE TRIES TO MAKE THE CHILD LIVE AGAIN

AND BREATHE LIFE INTO THE CHILD.

YEAH, HUH?

I'M??I'M JUST SAYING...

BUT, UH, HE SPENT THE NIGHT ALL RIGHT, THIS ISRAEL, HUH?

YEAH.

PROBABLY DIDN'T KEEP YOU UP ANY WITH CONVERSATION.

IT'S ANDY SIPOWICZ, ISRAEL!

OH, GOD, NO!

NO! NO! NO! NO! HELP ME! HELP ME IN THE CRIB!

SOMEBODY IN THE CRIB HERE!

OH, GOD, NO! OH, GOD! GOD!

OH, THIS IS TOO BAD! OH, YOU POOR BASTARD!

WHAT HAPPENED?

HE HUNG HIMSELF! WHEN'D YOU CHECK ON HIM LAST?

ANDY, I CHECKED ON HIM ABOUT 2 HOURS AGO.

HE WASN'T A PRISONER. HE WASN'T ON SUICIDE WATCH.

SHUT UP! SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

I'LL GET THEM ON THE LINE.

ANDY: POOR GUY.

POOR GUY.

OH, POOR GUY.

SORRY HOW THIS TURNED OUT, ANDY,

WITH THIS, UH, HOMELESS GUY.

SOME PASSAGE ON THE PAGE HE HAD THIS OPEN TO

IS GOING TO EXPLAIN THIS WHOLE SITUATION.

MAN: GRAB THE DOOR.

SECOND MAN: YEAH, HE CAN GO IN THERE.

THIS GUY WAS NO DOPE.

ANYWAYS.

LOOK, ANDY, BEING THAT DIANA'S SUPPOSED TO MAKE THIS CALL TO MRS. EGAN,

DO WE NOTIFY THEM WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS ISRAEL

WITHOUT TALKING TO THE BOSS ABOUT THIS?

I DON'T KNOW.

IF I DON'T MAKE THAT CALL WHEN I SAID I WOULD, IT HURTS ME WITH HER.

YEAH. I'M JUST WORRIED YOU TELL HER THIS ISRAEL'S DEAD,

THE PART OF THAT WOMAN THAT WANTS TO HIDE

FROM WHAT HER HUSBAND DID, THAT GETS REAL STRONG.

WE GOT TO LAND HARD. THE INVESTIGATION'S STILL OPEN.

?OFF WHAT? ?LIE.

TELL THEM THERE'S NEW EVIDENCE.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

YOU FOUND US ALL RIGHT?

UH, YEAH, NO PROBLEM.

DIANE: GOOD MORNING, SHERRIE.

YOU REMEMBER MR. DAVIS?

SURE. GOOD MORNING.

YOU SAID YOU HAD NEWS FOR THE EGANS.

PLEASE, SIT?? SIT DOWN.

THANKS.

WOULD YOU LIKE SOMETHING TO DRINK?

I'D REALLY APPRECIATE SOME COFFEE, JUST BLACK.

IF I COULD TROUBLE YOU FOR SOME TEA.

?I'LL GET IT. ?THANK YOU.

THAT'S WHERE THE PICTURES OF OUR SON USED TO BE.

WHAT IS IT YOU'VE COME TO TELL US?

DURING THE NIGHT THE HOMELESS MAN

WHO WAS A SUSPECT IN BRIAN'S DEATH HUNG HIMSELF.

MY GOD.

THERE'S YOUR CONFESSION.

YOU CERTAINLY COULD TAKE IT THAT WAY, YES.

STEVEN: HOW ELSE WOULD YOU TAKE IT?

OUR INDIFFERENT AND CALLOUS SOCIETY

CLAIMS ANOTHER HELPLESS VICTIM?

I ONLY MEANT THAT HE DIDN'T LEAVE A NOTE OR THE LIKE.

THAT'S HOW I PUT MY SON IN HARM'S WAY,

THAT TYPE OF SOFT?BELLIED LIBERAL PUKE.

IS IT IMPORTANT THAT HE DIDN'T LEAVE A CONFESSION?

DID YOU HEAR WHAT DAN JUST SAID?

WHAT'S MORE OF A CONFESSION THAN KILLING HIMSELF?

DOES THAT CLOSE THE INVESTIGATION?

I DID HAVE ONE KIND OF A HOUSEKEEPING QUESTION

THAT I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO PUT TO MR. EGAN.

ARE YOU UP TO THAT?

GO AHEAD.

WHEN YOU CAME BACK TO THE STATION HOUSE

WHEN YOU REMEMBERED ABOUT THE PLACE THAT ISRAEL SLEPT...

WHERE YOU FOUND BRIAN'S SHIRT. WHAT ABOUT IT?

ACTUALLY IT WAS YOU THAT FOUND BRIAN'S SHIRT.

I WAS TRYING TO SPARE YOU

THE EMBARRASSMENT OF BEING REMINDED.

WHEN YOU AND I WENT THERE,

WAS THAT THE FIRST THAT YOU HAD BEEN BACK TO THAT PLACE

SINCE YOU AND YOUR SON HAD BEEN THERE WITH ISRAEL?

YES.

YES, YOU HADN'T BEEN BACK THERE?

THAT'S RIGHT. WHY DO YOU ASK?

WELL, WE DID A CANVASS ON THAT BLOCK, AND??

DIANE: THAT'S SORT OF LIKE COLD CALLING.

QUESTIONING PEOPLE IN A GIVEN AREA,

HOPING TO COME UP WITH LEADS.

BOBBY: THERE WAS ANOTHER STREET PERSON

TOLD US THAT HE HAD SEEN SOMEONE AROUND THAT STOOP

EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING WHO MORE OR LESS FIT YOUR DESCRIPTION.

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN BY TELLING US SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

I ONLY WANT TO TRY TO GET IT ON THE RECORD

THAT THE PERSON SEEN WASN'T YOU, AND THEN WE CAN JUST PUT IT TO BED.

HOW MANY PEOPLE IN MANHATTAN DO YOU FIGURE,

MORE OR LESS, FIT MY DESCRIPTION?

WELL, AS FAR AS THAT GOES, MR. EGAN, WHAT WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT

WAS SOMEONE FITTING THAT DESCRIPTION BEING IN THAT AREA

AND ACTING LIKE HE WAS PLANTING SOMETHING UNDER THE STOOP,

BUT IF YOU SAY YOU WEREN'T THERE,

WELL, THEN THAT'S THE END OF IT.

DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY IT AGAIN?

BOBBY: NO. NOT NECESSARY.

THE EGANS HAVE BRIAN'S ARRANGEMENTS TO SEE TO.

I THINK THAT OUGHT TO END THE CONVERSATION.

SHERRIE, CAN YOU THINK OF ANYONE

WHO WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

PLANT EVIDENCE INCRIMINATING ISRAEL?

I CAN'T, NO.

THIS IS PRETTY REMARKABLE.

I MEAN, THE SUSPECT HANGS HIMSELF??

I HOPE THIS IS THE LAST TIME

I LEARN YOU'VE CONTACTED THE EGANS

WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME.

OH, I ASSUMED IF MR. EGAN WANTED YOU HERE,

HE WOULD HAVE NOTIFIED YOU HIMSELF.

WHICH HE DID. WHAT I'M SAYING IS,

I'D LIKE YOU TO NOTIFY ME.

ABSOLUTELY.

WILL YOU KEEP IN TOUCH IN THE COURSE OF THE DAY?

OF COURSE I WILL.

WHAT DID DAN JUST SAY?!

I JUST MEANT WITH INFORMATION.

IF THEY HAVE INFORMATION FOR US.

FINE. GREAT.

I'LL WANT TO BE NOTIFIED ABOUT THOSE CALLS AS WELL.

I WILL.

THE POINT IS,

WHATEVER HOUSEKEEPING YOU HAVE LEFT,

IF THE MAN WHO DID THIS IS DEAD,

WE'D LIKE TO DO OUR BEST TO GET ON WITH OUR LIVES.

WE UNDERSTAND.

WE APPRECIATE YOU'RE SEEING US.

DO YOU WANT THAT?

UH, NO. THANK YOU.

YOU TAKE CARE, SHERRIE.

THANKS FOR TRYING TO HELP US.

WE WANT TO HELP AS MUCH AS WE CAN.

WE KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT US PUTTING YOU THROUGH THIS, MR. EGAN.

I'D REACT THE SAME WAY.

I'VE GOT A LOT OF RESPECT FOR HOW YOU'RE HANDLING YOURSELF.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

THINK YOU DID ANY GOOD WITH THE PARENTS?

I TOLD THEM SOMEONE WHO MATCHED STEVE'S DESCRIPTION

WAS SEEN LEAVING THE STOOP WHERE WE FOUND BRIAN'S SHIRT.

THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S GOING TO KEEP HER DOUBTS OPEN.

WELL, IF IT DON'T, WE'RE IN TROUBLE, ANDY.

YOU STILL LOOKING FOR ISRAEL'S MESSAGE?

IT'S THERE, BUT I DON'T?? I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

PSALMS 119. I??

I CAN'T MAKE OUT THE APPLICATION

'CAUSE??AHEM?? 'CAUSE IT'S NOT IN MY HEART.

YOU WANT TO TALK TO A BIBLE EXPERT,

RUN IT BY HIM?

WHOA!

WHAT, SHE SEEING SOMETHING FRESH?

THE MOTHER CALLED. SHE WANTS TO SEE ME.

YOU DID IT. THAT'S YOUR BREAK.

WHEN ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO GO?

SHE WANTS TO SEE ME RIGHT AWAY.

HOW YOU GOING TO PUT A BAG ON THE HUSBAND?

SHE'S COMING ALONE.

GOOD LUCK.

YEAH.

HI.

HI, DIANE.

WOULD IT MAKE MORE SENSE TO GO SOME OTHER PLACE,

SINCE YOU AND STEVE COME HERE SOMETIMES?

IF I HAD TOLD HIM I WAS GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE,

HE'D HAVE COME WITH ME.

I DO COME HERE BY MYSELF SOMETIMES

AND DO CROSSWORD PUZZLES,

WAITING FOR BRIAN'S SCHOOL TO LET OUT.

USED TO.

WHAT DID YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME ABOUT?

DO YOU BELIEVE

THAT SOMEONE ELSE KILLED BRIAN?

SHERRIE, SO MANY DETECTIVES WHO INTERVIEWED THIS ISRAEL

FELT HE WAS GENUINELY DISTRAUGHT

WHEN HE HEARD WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO BRIAN.

HE WAS MOANING AND WHIMPERING LIKE SOME HURT ANIMAL,

JUST HOLDING HIS BIBLE TO HIM.

AND SO SAD.

AND THEY DIDN'T FEEL HE WAS ACTING?

NO. THESE DETECTIVES HAVE A GOOD SENSE ABOUT THOSE THINGS.

THEY FELT ISRAEL WAS HONESTLY UPSET

AND HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO BRIAN,

AND THEY DIDN'T THINK HE WAS INVOLVED.

THAT'S WHY THEY'RE CONSIDERING THIS OTHER IDEA.

IF ISRAEL WASN'T INVOLVED,

THEN SOMEONE MUST HAVE ARRANGED ALL OF THE EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM.

I TOLD YOU AT OUR APARTMENT,

I??I CAN'T THINK WHO THAT WOULD BE.

YOU DON'T KNOW OF ANYONE

OR YOU CAN'T LET YOURSELF THINK ABOUT IT?

THE FORMER. I DON'T KNOW ANYONE.

HERE'S YOUR WATER.

UM...

I TOLD YOU YESTERDAY THAT I LOST A FAMILY MEMBER TO VIOLENCE.

AND I REMEMBER EVERYTHING IN ME JUST WANTING TO SHUT OFF THE PAIN,

TO JUST NOT THINK ABOUT IT.

IT WAS ALMOST LIKE I COULDN'T THINK ABOUT IT.

THAT'S WHY I ASKED YOU WHAT I JUST DID BEFORE.

IN MY CASE, SHERRIE,

THAT WAS BECAUSE SOMEONE IN MY OWN FAMILY WAS RESPONSIBLE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT?

THE MURDER.

IN MY CASE, SHERRIE,

ONE FAMILY MEMBER MURDERED ANOTHER.

THE MURDERER TRIED TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK SOMEONE ELSE WAS RESPONSIBLE,

AND FOR A WHILE, I TRIED TO BELIEVE THAT,

BECAUSE THE OTHER POSSIBILITY WAS SO HORRIBLE.

AND FINALLY...

I MADE MYSELF FACE THE TRUTH.

HOW?

'CAUSE I FINALLY REALIZED

IF I DIDN'T,

IT WAS LIKE I WAS COMMITTING MURDER, TOO.

OH, GOD.

THE ONLY WAY THE PERSON I'D LOST

COULD STAY ALIVE IN MY HEART

WAS IF I MADE MYSELF FACE THE TRUTH. OTHERWISE...

HE WOULD DIE THERE, TOO.

ALL I HAVE LEFT

IS REMEMBERING

MY BRIAN ALIVE.

THE SON YOU CARRIED AND HELD...

AND DREAMED OF WATCHING GROW.

(GROANING) OH.

(CRYING)

ONLY THE TRUTH KEEPS HIS MEMORY WITH YOU, SHERRIE.

OTHERWISE, YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE HIM.

(WHISPERING) I LOST HIM.

I COULDN'T PROTECT HIM.

YOU'RE HIS MOTHER. PROTECT HIM NOW.

I WANT TO...

PROTECT MY POOR SON.

I...

WHO DID THIS, SHERRIE?

PROTECT BRIAN.

STEVEN: YOU LET GO OF HER!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I??I WANTED TO TALK TO HER.

HASN'T SHE SUFFERED ENOUGH?

I'M NOT TRYING TO HURT SHERRIE.

YOU LIED TO ME,

AND YOU DISOBEYED OUR ATTORNEY'S INSTRUCTIONS.

WHY DOES YOUR WIFE NEED YOURS OR YOUR LAWYER'S PERMISSION

TO GO OUT OF THE APARTMENT, MR. EGAN?

DON'T YOU PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH.

SHE HARDLY NEEDS MY PERMISSION,

BUT I RESENT BEING DECEIVED!

I'M SORRY.

I GUESS I'M JUST A LITTLE HYPER?VIGILANT,

WHAT WITH A LOVED ONE LEAVING THE APARTMENT A FEW DAYS AGO

AND OUR NEVER SEEING HIM AGAIN ALIVE!

I JUST WANTED HER TO HELP.

AND I SEE SHE'S HELPED A LOT.

I BELIEVE YOU'VE BROKEN THE LAW, DETECTIVE RUSSELL.

I AGREED TO INFORM YOUR LAWYER

IF I WAS GOING TO CONTACT SHERRIE.

AND SHE CONTACTED YOU?

SHERRIE, DO YOU WANT TO SHARE YOUR CONCERNS WITH STEVE?

NO.

DO YOU WANT TO COME HOME WITH ME?

I AM SICK OF THIS.

I HAVE FEELINGS, TOO.

NOW, MAYBE YOU'RE WILLING TO LET YOUR GRIEF BE MANIPULATED THIS WAY,

BUT I NEED TO HEAL!

I AM NOT MANIPULATING ANYONE, MR. EGAN.

YOUR SON WAS MOLESTED AND MURDERED,

AND I'M GOING TO FIND OUT WHO DID THAT.

THE MAN WHO DID THAT PASSED JUDGMENT ON HIMSELF.

IF YOU WEREN'T SATISFIED WITH YOUR CASE FOR LEGAL REASONS,

MAYBE YOU SHOULD'VE GUARDED HIM BETTER.

WE ACCEPT HIS JUDGMENT, AND NOW WE WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE!

I WON'T STOP LOOKING, SHERRIE!

I WON'T STOP UNTIL YOU TELL ME TO!

YOU INTERFERING BITCH!

I'D LIKE TO HURT YOU AS BADLY AS HE WAS HURT.

KILL ME, YOU MEAN?

YOU WANT TO KILL ME, MR. EGAN?

YOU GOT MURDER IN YOU?

YOU TELL HER TO LEAVE US ALONE!

W?WE'RE GOING HOME.

ALL RIGHT, SHERRIE.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

HE'S RIGHT HERE, AND I'LL SEND HIM DOWN.

(HANGS UP PHONE) STEVEN EGAN'S DOWNSTAIRS

AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE DETECTIVE SIMONE.

MR. EGAN.

HE'S NOT WITH ME.

I'M SORRY.

YOU WERE LOOKING FOR MY LAWYER,

AND I WAS SAYING HE WASN'T WITH ME.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU, SIR?

DOES THE LEFT HAND KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT HAND'S DOING

IN YOUR INVESTIGATIVE UNIT, DETECTIVE SIMONE?

I'M SORRY, SIR. I DON'T FOLLOW.

MY WIFE IS GOING THROUGH A TIME

OF EXTREME EMOTIONAL FRAILTY AND TURMOIL.

I UNDERSTAND THAT.

PSYCHOLOGICALLY, SHE IS HANGING BY A THREAD.

MR. EGAN, UH...

WHY DON'T WE GO IN HERE?

I'LL TELL YOU, I'M FEELING PRETTY ALONE.

BEING STRONG FOR MY WIFE AND IN A SENSE, FOR BRIAN.

NOBODY CAN JUST PUT OUT ALL THE TIME.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GET SOMETHING BACK IN.

AT ANY RATE,

I HOPE I MADE CLEAR AT OUR LOFT

I WAS NOT THE PERSON YOUR WITNESS SAW

HANGING AROUND THIS ISRAEL'S STOOP.

IN YOUR MIND AT LEAST,

I HOPE I PUT THAT TO REST.

YOU MADE THAT REALLY CLEAR.

AHEM.

I'M ALSO GOING TO CONFIDE SOMETHING

WHICH I HAVEN'T TO THIS POINT.

IN A SENSE, IT'S MY OWN BURDEN

AND NOT SPECIFICALLY RELEVANT TO THE CASE.

PLEASE.

WHEN I WAS A CHILD...

I WAS ABUSED MYSELF.

THAT RIGHT?

I'M NOT SURE IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND

THE WAY THAT COMPOUNDS MY REACTION TO WHAT'S HAPPENED NOW

30 YEARS LATER.

HAS TO MAKE IT THAT MUCH MORE HORRIBLE.

I HAVEN'T CONFIDED BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO BURDEN SHERRIE WITH IT,

WITH EVERYTHING ELSE SHE'S DEALING WITH.

MAKING IT AN EXTRA BURDEN TO CARRY.

SO WHEN I SEE THIS DETECTIVE RUSSELL

LAVISHING ALL THIS ATTENTION AND TIME ON MY WIFE,

THESE NONSENSICAL THEORIES??

MR. EGAN...

I RESPECT YOUR CONCERN FOR YOUR WIFE,

BUT I GOTTA TELL YOU WHAT I'M LOOKING AT.

AND THAT IS SOMEONE THAT'S IN PAIN

WHO NEEDS A LITTLE ATTENTION OF HIS OWN.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT NEEDING ATTENTION,

BUT I AM IN PAIN.

I KNOW WHAT MY SON WAS GOING THROUGH. I...

I KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE FOR HIM.

(SOBBING)

STEVEN...

CAN I GET YOU SOME WATER?

I WAS 6 YEARS OLD.

SENT AWAY TO A SLEEPAWAY CAMP.

I WAS 14 MONTHS YOUNGER THAN ANY OTHER KID THERE.

LIE THERE AT NIGHT IN MY BUNK SO HOMESICK I COULDN'T STOP CRYING.

AND I WAS A BED WETTER.

I WAS, TOO.

YOU WERE?

I THINK A LOT MORE KIDS ARE THAN PEOPLE KNOW.

SO I'D BE LYING THERE,

HOMESICK AND HUMILIATED.

AND ONE NIGHT, UNCLE GILL WAS ON NIGHT DUTY.

THEY CALLED ALL THE COUNSELORS "UNCLE."

AND HE HEARD ME CRYING.

OR MAYBE HE SAW MY COVERS MOVE

WHEN HE SHINED HIS FLASHLIGHT,

BECAUSE I WOULD PUT THE COVERS OVER MY HEAD WHEN I CRIED.

AND AFTER A WHILE...

HE WOULD TAKE MY HAND...

AND PUT IT BETWEEN HIS LEGS.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS ABOUT.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING.

ALL I KNEW WAS HOW HOMESICK I WAS,

AND HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HELPED ME,

AND I WAS TOO AFRAID TO SAY THAT I DIDN'T LIKE IT.

(SOBBING)

I'M SORRY.

YEAH. YOU LIVE WITH WHAT YOU LIVE WITH.

I MEAN, THOSE WERE THE CARDS I WAS DEALT.

BUT BY YOU TELLING ME THAT,

I COULD IMAGINE THE, UH...

SPECIAL PAIN YOU FEEL ABOUT BRIAN.

I BELIEVE BRIAN IS IN A BETTER PLACE NOW

WHERE THINGS LIKE THAT DON'T HAPPEN.

AND EVERYONE WOULD BE FORGIVEN.

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW IF SOME THINGS CAN BE FORGIVEN.

HOW DO YOU FORGIVE A MAN

WHO ABUSES A CHILD'S NEED AND HIS TRUST?

I BELIEVE IN FORGIVENESS, STEVE.

YOU DO?

ABSOLUTELY.

SOMEONE FEELS TRUE REMORSE,

I ABSOLUTELY DO.

GOD, THAT WOULD BE SUCH A RELIEF.

TO BELIEVE IN FORGIVENESS AND PROTECTION.

FOR YOUR SON,

FOR THIS MAN WHO ABUSED YOU,

FOR ALL OF US.

EVERYONE NEEDS FORGIVENESS.

THERE'S NOBODY WHO HASN'T SINNED.

I'M GRATEFUL FOR YOU TAKING THIS TIME WITH ME.

WHATEVER PEOPLE SAY,

WE DO THIS JOB BECAUSE WE WANT TO HELP.

I'M GRATEFUL AND HONORED THAT YOU'D LOOK TO ME.

ALL RIGHT.

WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE IT, I'M HERE FOR THAT,

AND I'D LIKE YOU TO COME BACK.

YOU CAN ONLY LET YOURSELF DEAL WITH THESE THINGS SO MUCH.

FOR MYSELF, I GOT A LOT OUT OF TALKING TO YOU,

AND, UH, I FEEL LIKE THERE'S MORE TO SAY.

ALL RIGHT.

IF CIRCUMSTANCES PERMIT.

I WAS RIGHT ABOUT YOU.

THANK YOU.

THIS PRICK IS JEALOUS.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THAT I'M REACHING OUT TO HIS WIFE?

SMART AS HE IS, CAREFUL AS HE WAS,

PART OF HIM KNOWS THAT HE DID WRONG.

HE WANTS SOME SYMPATHY. HE WANTS SOME ATTENTION.

ENOUGH TO PUT HIMSELF IN TROUBLE?

HE GAVE UP THAT HE WAS ABUSED AS A KID, ANDY.

?THAT'S BIG. ?HE DID?

THE ABUSED ABUSE.

HE'S PUTTING THE MOTIVE ON HIMSELF.

IF ALL HE WANTS IS TO BEAT THIS,

NO WAY HE WAS SUPPOSED TO GIVE THAT UP.

WAS IT HIS OLD MAN ABUSED HIM?

SOME COUNSELOR AT A SLEEPAWAY CAMP.

I NEVER UNDERSTOOD HOW PEOPLE DON'T FIGURE

THOSE PLACES ARE ASYLUMS FOR PERVERTS.

I HATE REACHING OUT TO HER RIGHT NOW, BOBBY,

EVEN TO PISS HIM OFF AND MAKE HIM COME BACK TO YOU.

YOU WANNA MAKE HER COME TO YOU.

IF SHE'S READY TO TIP OVER, I WANT HER TO REACH OUT.

ANYWAYS, I LEFT IT GOOD WITH HIM WHERE HIM AND ME ARE AT.

WE'RE ALL CREATURES OF FORGIVENESS.

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF.

ANY LUCK FINDING ISRAEL'S KIN?

NOTHIN' OFF CARS, NOTHIN' AT THE SHELTERS.

HE'S GOING TO POTTER'S FIELD, THIS ISRAEL,

AND THERE'S NOT A DAMN THING I CAN DO ABOUT IT,

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL HE'S TRYING TO TELL ME.

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

(RING)

SHE'S IN THE JOHN.

(RING)

15TH SQUAD. DETECTIVE RUSSELL.

HI, SHERRIE.

SURE, I COULD DO THAT. DO YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS?

WHEN DO YOU WANT ME TO MEET YOU?

FINE. I'LL SEE YOU IN A LITTLE BIT.

SHE WANTS ME TO MEET HER WHERE YOU FOUND BRIAN'S SHIRT.

GOOD FOR HER.

SHOULD YOU COME WITH ME? IF SHE'S GONNA ASK HOW HER HUSBAND ACTED

?WHATEVER YOU THINK. ?WHEN YOU WERE OUT THERE WITH HIM.

COME, THEN, AND IF IT FEELS RIGHT, YOU CAN SPLIT.

HELP HER OVER.

THANKS, ANDY.

HERE SHE IS.

?HI, SHERRIE. ?HI.

DETECTIVE SIMONE WAS THERE

WHEN THE SEARCH WAS CONDUCTED

AND YOUR HUSBAND POINTED OUT BRIAN'S SHIRT.

MRS. EGAN.

MY HUSBAND POINTED IT OUT?

ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU TOLD ME?

AS FAR AS MR. EGAN POINTING OUT THE SHIRT,

UM, I, UH...

I WAS MORE OR LESS IN THIS AREA OVER HERE,

AND, UH, MR. EGAN...

SAW THE SHIRT OVER THERE,

AND HE PRETTY MUCH WENT FOR IT RIGHT AWAY.

WHAT I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU IS FOR PERSONAL REASONS.

ALL RIGHT.

DO YOU THINK THAT DETECTIVE SIMONE COULD EXCUSE US?

ABSOLUTELY.

UH, DO YOU WANT DETECTIVE SIMONE

TO GO BACK TO THE STATION HOUSE?

NO. JUST, UH, PLEASE EXCUSE US FOR A SECOND.

CAN HE BE ASKED...

IF HE THINKS THAT...

STEVEN PUT BRIAN'S SHIRT THERE?

SURE. I CAN ASK HIM??

BUT IN A WAY, YOU KNOW,

IN A...

CONFIDENTIAL WAY.

DO YOU WANT ME TO ASK HIM SOMEPLACE ELSE, SHERRIE?

IF YOU COULD JUST GO UP THERE AND ASK,

AND I'LL STAY HERE.

SURE.

SHE WANTS ME TO ASK YOU

IF YOU THINK STEVEN COULD HAVE PLANTED BRIAN'S SHIRT

AND THAT'S HOW HE KNEW WHERE TO LOOK FOR IT.

I THINK THAT'S POSSIBLE. YES.

SHERRIE, DETECTIVE SIMONE THINKS IT IS POSSIBLE

STEVEN PLANTED BRIAN'S SHIRT.

SO, THEN, EVERYTHING ELSE.

SO, THEN, EVERYTHING ELSE.

DO YOU THINK THAT?

HE WOULD GO TO HIS ROOM,

AND HE WOULD BE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

BECAUSE BRIAN WET THE BED.

AND HE WOULD SAY

THAT HE WAS MAKING HIM FEEL BETTER SO THAT...

AND WHAT ELSE, HONEY?

AND...

HE...

HAS HIS OWN ROOM,

AND HE COULD'VE GONE OUT THROUGH THE NIGHT AND HURT BRIAN.

GONE OUT THROUGH THE NIGHT, SO THAT, TOO, BUT...

WHY NO BLOOD?

NO BLOOD IN BRIAN'S BED.

NO BLOOD ANYWHERE.

HE COULD'VE DONE IT SOMEPLACE ELSE, SHERRIE.

HE COULD'VE DONE THE STRANGLING PART IN THE APARTMENT

AND DONE THE REST SOMEWHERE ELSE.

(CRYING)

BOBBY...

ALL RIGHT, SHERRIE.

(GAGS)

SHERRIE...

I DIDN'T PROTECT BRIAN,

AND NOW BRIAN'S DEAD.

RIGHT HERE, MRS. EGAN. DIANE'S RIGHT HERE WITH YOU, OK?

HIS SHIRT WAS THERE,

AND HE MUST'VE BEGGED HIS DADDY NOT TO HURT HIM.

OK.

ALL RIGHT, SHERRIE.

(COUGHS AND GAGS)

SHERRIE, TAKE SOME BREATHS FOR A MINUTE. COME ON.

(COUGHS)

SHERRIE.

?HELP. NO! NO! ?OKAY.

?HELP! I NEED HELP! ?WHAT IS IT?

HELP!

EASY THERE, MR. EGAN, OK?

OH, SAVE MY BOY.

SWEETHEART, WHAT IS IT?

SHERRIE'S REALLY UPSET RIGHT NOW.

IT'S BETTER YOU JUST STAY AWAY.

SWEETHEART, WOULD YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER?

?DID YOU HURT BRIAN? ?WHAT?

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW WITH WHAT YOU'VE DONE?

ALL RIGHT, SHERRIE.

OH, WHAT DID YOU DO?

YOU'RE BREAKING MY HEART ALL OVER AGAIN.

MURDERER!

MURDERER. MURDERER. HE'S A MURDERER!

I HAVE TO GO AWAY.

COME ON. YOU'RE RIGHT. LET'S GO.

YOU TORE HIM APART.

YOU TORE OUR SON??

JUST STOP IT.

TORTURE!

STOP IT. LET YOURSELF STOP.

HONEY, YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

EASY. COME WITH ME. COME WITH ME.

ALL RIGHT. COME WITH ME. COME ON. COME ON.

NO! NO!

BRIAN'S NOT SUFFERING ANYMORE.

HE'S NOT SUFFERING NOW.

LISTEN...

(SOBBING)

HE'S??HE'S DEAD IN HEAVEN.

THAT'S RIGHT. BRIAN'S IN HEAVEN.

HEAVEN.

DEAD.

BRIAN'S DEAD.

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

I DISMISSED HER.

?YOU FIRED HER? ?YES! I FIRED HER.

(RINGING STOPS)

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

I'M NOT SURE. WHAT DO YOU THINK'S THE RIGHT APPROACH?

I'M NOT SURE.

HOW DID YOUR WIFE DEVELOP THESE SUSPICIONS?

IT'S OBVIOUS HOW SHE DEVELOPED THEM.

DETECTIVE RUSSELL PLANTED THEM.

I NEED TO ASK IF YOU ENCOURAGED HER IN THAT.

YOUR WIFE WANTED TO SEE WHERE BRIAN'S SHIRT WAS FOUND.

DIANE ASKED ME TO COME ALONG SO I COULD SHOW HER.

SO YOU WEREN'T PART OF WHATEVER HORRIFIC BADGERING DIANE MUST'VE ENGAGED IN

TO BRING SHERRIE TO THE HYSTERIA AND PARANOIA I JUST SAW?

I WASN'T PART OF ANY BADGERING, STEVE, NO.

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

(RING)

(RING)

(RING)

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

(RING)

(RING)

I FEEL YOU HAVE TO CONFRONT YOUR WIFE'S SUSPICIONS, STEVE.

HOW?

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THEM,

SO HOW CAN THEY BE REFUTED?

ON THE STREET BEFORE YOU SHOWED UP, YOUR WIFE WAS SAYING

THAT SHE THOUGHT SHE MIGHT HAVE HEARD YOU LEAVING THE APARTMENT

THE NIGHT THAT BRIAN DISAPPEARED.

WE WERE IN SEPARATE BEDROOMS,

AND SHE COULDN'T HAVE HEARD ANYTHING OF THE SORT.

AND WHERE BRI'S BEDROOM IS SITUATED...

(SOBS)

I MEAN, IS DIANE HANGING HER HAT

ON THIS OTHER VAGRANT WHO SUPPOSEDLY SAW ME?

GETTING SHERRIE'S HAT HANGING ON THAT?

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

(RING)

DOES THIS OTHER VAGRANT EXIST?

(RING)

DO YOU WANT TO SEE HIM?

WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO EVALUATE THE MAN.

WITH ALL THE PUBLICITY

AND SOMEONE MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR A REWARD OR SO FORTH

?OR PUBLICITY?? ?ABSOLUTELY.

AND IF I COULD BE ENTITLED TO HIS NAME

AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY MY ATTORNEY COULD CONTACT HIM,

FIND OUT WHATEVER HE'S AFTER??

LET'S GET YOU A LOOK AT HIM.

TAKE IT ONE STEP AT A TIME.

AND THEN DAN SUBSEQUENTLY MIGHT FIND OUT WHAT HE'S AFTER.

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

(RING)

YOU KNOW THAT'S HIM NOW.

MY ATTORNEY, DAN DAVIS.

YOU THINK SO?

(RING)

ANDY?

THAT MAN THAT DESCRIBED SOMEONE LEAVING THE STOOP

WHERE BRIAN'S SHIRT WAS FOUND,

MR. EGAN WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM.

UH?HUH.

YOU THINK WE CAN PUT THAT TOGETHER?

YEAH. COME ON.

SORRY TO INTERRUPT FOR A SECOND.

WHAT'S UP, ANDY?

YOU GOING OVER AGAIN WHAT YOU TOLD HER?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

IT'S ALL RIGHT, WILLIAM.

HOW'S HE COMING WITH THE DRAWINGS, THE SKETCH ARTIST?

YEAH. IT'S COMING ALONG.

GOOD.

?ANDY: ...ASKING HIM FOR INTERVIEWS? LISTEN?? ?(SHUTS OFF INTERCOM)

THEY'RE PUTTING A SUSPECT'S SKETCH TOGETHER

BASED ON THIS MAN'S DESCRIPTION OF THE PERSON SEEN LEAVING THE STOOP?

THAT WOULD BE CUSTOMARY.

AND THIS SIPOWICZ BEING PART OF THINGS AGAIN,

THAT MEANS THEY'RE CREDITING THESE SUSPICIONS ABOUT ME.

STEVE, WHAT YOU JUST SAW HAPPENING IN THIS INTERROGATION ROOM,

PLUS YOUR WIFE VOICING HER CONCERNS,

YOU GOTTA BE REALISTIC.

I SEE WHERE THIS IS HEADED.

YOU NEED TO CONFRONT THIS, STEVE,

KEEPING IN MIND THE FORGIVENESS

THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED.

IF YOU THINK I'LL LIVE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, YOU ARE INSANE!

WHERE PEOPLE THINK I'M SOME INSANE PREDATORY MONSTER?

THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN, MY FRIEND.

THERE'S FORGIVENESS FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS, STEVE.

I TOLD YOU MY PLANS, MY FRIEND, SO PLEASE GET OUT OF MY WAY.

I'M NOT PREPARED TO DISPUTE YOU ARE MY FRIEND,

AND I COULD USE A FRIEND VERY MUCH.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU ARE A DETECTIVE,

WHOSE JOB IS ATTRIBUTING GUILT.

THAT IS FOR LAWYERS AND THE COURTROOM.

I AM TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED HERE.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE TRYING TO FORGIVE EVERYONE.

YOU KNOW THERE'S FORGIVENESS. YOU KNOW THERE'S FORGIVENESS.

I NEED YOU TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND.

WELL, I'M EXHAUSTED.

AND I'M IN A STATE OF HOPELESSNESS.

IT'S ALL RIGHT. IT'S ALL RIGHT.

STEVE, YOU BROUGHT ME HERE,

AND I NEED YOU TO TELL ME WHY.

WELL, TO RECEIVE THESE ACCUSATIONS WHEN SO MUCH OF MY LIFE

HAS BEEN CARING FOR BRIAN, WHEN WE WERE SO CLOSE,

AND AS MUCH AS I HAVE BEEN WOUNDED AND HURT,

I TRIED TO PROTECT HIM FROM THAT. I TRIED...

TO SHOW HIM HOW MUCH HE WAS LOVED.

WERE YOU PHYSICAL SHOWING YOUR AFFECTION?

WAS I PHYSICAL?

WE ALL WANT TO BE PERFECT PARENTS AND SHOW OUR LOVE IN THE PERFECT WAY.

AND AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE HUMAN BEINGS, AND SO WHICH DO YOU SACRIFICE?

DO YOU STOP TRYING TO SHOW YOUR LOVE AT ALL IF YOU CAN'T SHOW IT IN THE PERFECT WAY?

DO YOU STOP BEING A PARENT TO YOUR ONLY SON AND CHILD?

BELIEVE ME, FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND

TAKES EVERY FIBER OF ASKING GOD...

TO UNDERSTAND HIS FORGIVENESS TAKING BRIAN AND UNDERSTANDING HIS WILL.

WAS IT GOD WHO ASKED YOU TO PUT BRIAN IN HEAVEN?

I AM NOT SO PRESUMPTUOUS OR EGOTISTICAL TO PRETEND I COMMUNICATE WITH GOD.

WHAT I DO KNOW...

IS WHAT'S NECESSARY FOR LIFE NOT TO BECOME

A GROTESQUE INSANITY AND TO PROTECT A CHILD YOU LOVE.

I KNOW THE BURDEN OF WHAT HAS TO BE DONE...

BECAUSE PREVIOUSLY...

YOU CAN'T FORGIVE YOURSELF,

AND YOU'VE BEATEN THAT IN HIM.

YOU CAN'T FORGIVE YOUR OWN ERECTION LYING NEXT TO YOUR COUNSELOR,

AND YOU KNOW YOU MUST BE FOUL.

AND SO YOU BEAT YOURSELF AND YOUR BOY.

I DON'T PRESUME TO COMMUNICATE WITH GOD.

BUT CAN YOU BELIEVE IN ANY GOD...

WHO DIDN'T WANT HIS CHILD PROTECTED WHEN HE SEES HIM

CRYING AT NIGHT AND WETTING HIMSELF?

IT'S A MONSTER...

MAKING HIM LIE AND HIDE AND BE SO SAD AND AFRAID.

HOW WOULDN'T GOD WANT HIM TAKEN AWAY?!

KILL ME.

PLEASE, PLEASE.

SHOOT ME IN THE HEAD.

I CAN'T.

HELP ME CONFESS.

HURRY AND GET THE PENCIL AND PAPER.

I'VE LOOKED FOR HIM, AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS.

HE'S RIGHT THERE.

?WHERE'S STEVE EGAN? ?HE'S IN THE OBSERVATION ROOM.

I DIDN'T THINK TO LOOK THERE.

MR. EGAN JUST CONFESSED.

HE WANTS TO GIVE A WRITTEN STATEMENT.

WE'LL SEE WHAT HE WANTS TO GIVE.

I SHOULD HAVE LOCKED THIS SON OF A BITCH IN A CLOSET.

YEAH. HE CAN WRAP HIMSELF AROUND EGAN ALL HE LIKES.

THAT GUY JUST CONFESSED TO ME, AND I CAN TESTIFY TO THAT IN COURT.

WHY DID HE SAY HE KILLED HIS BOY?

HE SAID THAT GOD WANTED HIM TO DO IT,

SO THAT HE WOULD STOP ABUSING BRIAN.

AND GOD WANTED HIM TO FRAME THIS POOR, HOMELESS BASTARD?

AND THE WHOLE TIME I'M TRYING TO DRAW THIS PRICK OUT,

"YOU CAN TRUST ME.

GOD IN HEAVEN HAS FORGIVENESS FOR ALL OF US."

THERE'S NO FORGIVENESS FOR WHAT HE DID.

HE IS GONNA BURN IN HELL FOR THIS!

BUT FIRST I WANT HIM TO LIVE A GOOD, LONG TIME,

SO HE CAN WAKE UP CRYING AND SCREAMING ALL NIGHT REALIZING WHAT HE DID.

HE WANTS ME TO SHOOT HIM?!

I HOPE THAT WAS HIM KNOWING THAT THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS FOR THAT.

HE ASKED YOU TO SHOOT HIM?

HE WAS ASKING THE WRONG GUY.

MRS. EGAN WANTS TO GIVE A STATEMENT

ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO BRIAN.

MR. EGAN IS HERE, ALSO.

HE SAID HE WANTED TO GIVE A STATEMENT AS WELL.

WHAT DID HE WANT TO SAY?

HE JUST CONFESSED TO ME VERBALLY, MRS. EGAN.

HE CONFESSED THAT HE KILLED BRIAN.

THAT HE ABUSED AND KILLED YOUR SON, YES.

MR. DAVIS IS IN WITH HIM RIGHT NOW.

I HOPE WHEN THEY'RE THROUGH, HE'LL WRITE OUT WHAT HE SAID.

HE'D BETTER WRITE IT OUT.

A?A?AND I WANT TO WRITE OUT THAT I MUST'VE COLLABORATED.

I??I HAVE TO CONFESS IT.

I??I MUST NOT HAVE WANTED TO PROTECT BRIAN.

NO. SHERRIE, THAT ISN'T RIGHT. NO.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE THAT DO SOMETHING HORRIBLE KNOW HOW BAD IT IS,

AND THEY HIDE IT VERY GOOD.

THINKING WE'LL DIE IF WE BELIEVE IT...

DOESN'T EXCUSE NOT BELIEVING,

AND MAYBE WE SHOULD DIE.

BRIAN WOULD HAVE NO ONE TO REMEMBER HIM THEN.

YOU HAVE TO KEEP REMEMBERING AND LOVING HIM.

REMEMBERING ALL HIS GOODNESS,

REMEMBERING ALL THE JOY HE BROUGHT YOU.

I DON'T DESERVE TO KEEP HIS MEMORY.

I FAILED HIM.

HE NEEDED ME TO PROTECT HIM, AND I COULDN'T.

HOW CAN I LIVE WITH MYSELF AFTER THAT?

DIANE: YOU HAVE TO, SHERRIE.

YOU CAN DO IT.

AHEM. THIS HOMELESS ISRAEL HAD HIS BOOK OPEN...

IN A SECRET MESSAGE TO US.

(SOBBING)

"MY SOUL FAINTETH FOR THY SALVATION,

"BUT I HOPE IN THY WORD.

"MINE EYES FAIL FOR THY WORDS SAYING, WHEN WILL THOU COMFORT ME?

"FOR I AM BECOME LIKE A BOTTLE IN THE SMOKE,

"YET, DO I NOT FORGET THY STATUTES.

"HOW MANY ARE THE DAYS OF THY SERVANT?

"WHEN WILL THOU EXECUTE JUDGMENT ON THEM THAT PERSECUTE ME?

"THE PROUD HAVE DIGGED PITS FOR ME

"WHICH ARE NOT AFTER THY LAW.

"ALL THY COMMANDMENTS ARE FAITHFUL.

"THEY PERSECUTE ME WRONGFULLY. HELP THOU ME.

"THEY HAD ALMOST CONSUMED ME UPON EARTH,

"BUT I FORSOOK NOT THY PRECEPTS.

"QUICKEN ME AFTER THY LOVING KINDNESS,

SO SHALL I KEEP THE TESTIMONY OF THY MOUTH".

HE'S READY TO WRITE A STATEMENT FOR YOU NOW.

I WANT IT ON RECORD IT'S AGAINST ADVICE OF COUNSEL.

OK.

WE'LL PUT THAT ON THE RECORD, TOO.
