[music continues]

Detective Rush, Cold Jobs.

Uh, Roy Minard.

Uh, fallen from grace.

[laughing]

- Is that right?
- Yes.

You're looking at
a ruined man, I'm afraid.

- Want to sit down?
- Thank you.

I was a, uh..

I was a professor
at the University

enjoying a quiet life
of arts and sciences

when I became embroiled...
in a murder case.

My unfortunate role was
as the number one suspect.

Who had the unfortunate
role of victim?

Uh..

Holly Richardson.

Here.
She was one of my students.

Very promising young mind.

- Killed on campus?
- Nine years ago.

Whipped and strangled
with a car antenna.

Awful.

Well, there must have been
a reason you were investigated.

And one reason only.

Holly and I were
having an affair.

Ah.

Which I lied about
at the time.

Why?

Why does a philanderer lie?

I was married.

- Ashamed of my behavior.
- Covering your tracks.

And my dishonesty on
that matter was seen as guilt

in this far
more serious charge.

The, uh, press went to town.

My wife and child
left town.

And I was soon relieved
of my professorship

and banned from the campus.

Well, you're here
talking to me

so clearly you weren't
convicted of anything.

Not in a court of law.

And you're innocent,
of course.

You've heard
of Richard Jewell?

Yeah.

He and I would have
a lot to talk about.

So, why come in
today, Roy?

Uh, I found this..

...in the newspaper.

A prostitute in Norristown
was killed and dumped

in the Schuylkill two weeks ago.
Same as Holly.

A lot of bodies
are dumped in the river.

Yes, but this one
was also killed

with a car antenna.

I saw that and
I, uh, I thought

maybe I've found
my one-armed man.

Now, you're
Richard Kimble.

If there is a connection

maybe you can solve
two murders.

And save my life
in the process.

[theme music]

[music continues]

"Holly Richardson, 21.

"Killed in West Philly,
May '95.

"14 lashes with an antenna

before he strangled
her with it."

Little humiliation
before the grand finale.

Yeah, dumped
in the Schuylkill.

Doer was probably trying
to wash away evidence.

Uh, they found semen.

- Oh, Professor Minard's?
- 'Yep.'

So, they did it
the night of the murder.

Outside of that,
what do we got?

He and Holly were
at the same party

at the Elizabethan Club.

Some people saw them
having words.

Words?

I love how them
Ivy Leaguers talk.

They had a fight,
okay, dummy?

Okay, so that's
the whole case?

- That's about it.
- 'That's nothing.'

Why'd this guy get
the pinch?

He lied about the affair
till the DNA came back.

Then, he changed his story.

How's the Norristown
murder come into play?

This hooker job had
a pretty similar MO.

The antenna,
the river dump.

Worth getting a look
at that Norristown file.

Vera won't mind
taking a ride.

This professor still
teaching Art History?

- English as a second language.
- Step or two down.

Paid a high price
if he's innocent.

Or if he's guilty he's got
a lot of free years.

So, we reinvestigate him, too.

Hi, we meet again.
Excuse me.

Professor Minard,
my partner Scotty Valens.

- Hi.
- Thank you.

Well, you're very kind
to call me "Professor"

but around here I'm,
I'm just Mr. Roy.

Yeah, okay.

So, does this visit mean
there was something

to my amateur
detective's theory?

We don't know yet.

I've spent a lot of time
of the last nine years

reading mystery novels.
I thought, maybe

I was getting carried away.

(Valens)
'Uh, we haven't seen
the file from Norristown yet.'

But, uh, we were wondering
where you were..

...the, uh, night that
hooker got killed.

Right, um..

I teach here nights,
Monday through Thursday.

- What night was she killed?
- It was a Tuesday.

Then, I was here.

22 other witnesses
will tell you the same

in, in broken
but improving English.

Lying about your affair
with Holly

got you in a lot
of hot water.

I was arrogant.

Bill Clinton lied to
America about the intern.

I lied to Philadelphia.

And you both got
caught in the end.

I wouldn't do it again.

DNA...will get you
every time.

So, when Holly was killed

how were you two
getting along?

Well, in my first statement
I said things were great.

Hmm, I know.

But to be honest,
there was some tension.

If I had a small
dinner party, would you come?

Small, as in you and me?

Maybe, six people
or eight.

- No, I wouldn't.
- Why not?

Holly.

There are rules.

Well, I want
to see you in public.

You can't.

God, don't you
ever even

think about me
outside this office?

Sure, thinking
is perfectly fair.

Seeing each other outside
of these four walls..

...is not possible.

What if I don't like
those rules anymore?

Sounds like you laid
it out pretty clear.

My campus and my home life
stayed separate.

No contact outside
of office hours.

Is that what you called it?

Not even phone calls.

Here's the deal, Roy.

If we're gonna look
at this case again

you gotta be an
open book this time.

Done.
In fact..

- Here it is.
- 'What is this?'

It's a list of women
who were also--

Conquests?

Did you offer these names
in the first investigation?

No, I was pretending
Holly was the only one.

They'll probably badmouth me.

You'll hear a lot
about bad behavior

but nothing
that says murder.

I was sick in love
with that jerk.

I see you took two
different art history

courses with him,
spring of '92.

Hmm, 'cause I couldn't
get enough of him.

You know how vile it is

to know you were
with a murderer?

Now why do you think
he's a murderer?

I read the papers.
He told City Magazine

he didn't do anything
to "Hurt that girl."

Pretty strange word choice,
don't you think?

Well, was he ever
violent with you?

No.

- Possessive? Scary, at all?
- No.

But you still think
maybe he could have whipped

and strangled
this Holly to death.

I read the papers.

He toyed with me
my whole sophomore year.

Treated you bad?

Like a piece of ass.

Seduced me with poetry
and wine during office hours.

Pretended not to know me
if I saw him on campus.

You think he murdered Holly?

He got a lawyer
pretty fast.

I'll tell you a secret, Monique.

That's actually
the smart thing to do.

Seems like the guilty
thing to do, to me.

Roy Minard?

I wouldn't say that name
too loudly around here.

We need to know about
your relationship with him.

In '94?

I'm on the faculty now.

It'd be bad for me
if that got out.

Is that why you kept it
from the police nine years ago?

I was never asked.

Look, this isn't popular
opinion around campus

but Roy didn't kill Holly.

You don't think so?

He was unethical
but he's not a murderer.

You didn't think he
was unethical in '94.

I didn't really get
what an abuse

it was until
I started teaching.

It's just so easy
to impress students.

And Roy's very charismatic.

We've met him.

Did you know
Holly Richardson?

I tried to warn her not to
get in too deep with Roy.

I talked to her that night
at the Elizabethan Club.

[Adam Ant singing
"Wonderful"]

[grunting]

Haven't seen you all day.
How're you doin'?

♪ Did I tell you
that I was wrong ♪

♪ I was wrong ♪

It's not so easy seeing
them in the flesh, is it?

- What?
- 'The wife, the kid.'

(Holly)
'No, it's not.'

Holly, this time
last year

I was standing
right where you are.

Did you feel like you'd
just been hit by a truck?

Yeah. He's happy with them.
He won't leave.

Why does he have affairs
if he's so happy?

(female #1)
'I don't know
his psychology.'

But there's a new girl
every year.

And the year's
almost over.

I think it's different
this time.

I felt for her.
I-I was her at one point.

But she was upset at him.
Not the other way around.

So, after two hours
of making copies

of every page from
this Norristown job--

Stillman told us
about the flat tire.

Yeah, that precinct's copier
was from the mimeograph era.

Look, guys,
it was bad luck.

Yeah, well, we finish up
your dog call.

Finally, get out of
traffic on Ridge Pike.

Prostitute's name
was Lenore Grandy.

And bam! And we were
in the fast lane.

Vera, Jeffries, thank you.

You risked your very lives
for this job.

Hey, guys, can we talk
about Lenore Grandy now?

Whipped 14 times
with a car antenna

then strangled
with it.

And dumped in the Schuylkill.

That's just like Holly.

Here's the money.

Lenore...Holly..

- Wow.
- Yeah.

- Gotta be the same doer.
- How did no one catch this?

Different counties.
Computers don't talk.

Roy Menard have an alibi
for the second murder?

He was teaching his class
that night. It checked out.

Maybe, he did get
the jewel treatment.

[printer whirring]

- Got something we can work.
- Yeah.

Cross-referenced the names
from vice sweeps in Norristown

with the university
alumni records.

Two hits.

Clarence Grimes.
Graduated 20 years ago.

(Jeffries)
'He wouldn't know Holly.'

Yeah, but Barry Tepler would.

He was in school
same time as her.

He only lives eight blocks
from where Lenore was dumped.

I don't have...people over.

We're here about
Holly Richardson.

- Don't bring her up.
- Why not?

I'd stay away from Holly,
just like she told me to.

Holly told you
to stay away, Barry?

She invited me home
for Thanksgiving.

I misinterpreted her
gesture of friendship..

...for a-a deeper interest

but I changed my behavior when
she relayed her true feelings.

- Your therapist tell you that?
- Or a lawyer?

When she asked me

to leave her alone...
I did.

♪ You say ♪

♪ I only hear
what I want to.. ♪

- Hi.
- What you doin' here?

I go to school here.

Well, you don't have any
classes in Williams Hall.

- I wanted to see you.
- Barry, you're following me.

I like you.

I'm not interested in you
in that way.

You took me
to meet your parents.

It was Thanksgiving.

You had nowhere else to go.

Well, can we talk
about it, or--

No. Nope.

I don't wanna
talk about it

I don't want you
to call me or follow me.

Uh-huh.

And I don't want
any more letters.

- Those are yours.
- No, they're yours.

♪ Yeah I missed you ♪

♪ You say.. ♪♪

(Valens)
'So, you stalked Holly?'

I pursued her with
too much enthusiasm.

You still have
those letters, Barry?

No.

You save dental reminders
from three years ago

but not those letters?

I...I was in my dorm room
when she was killed.

Where were you when
Lenore Grandy was killed?

- I don't know who that is.
- A hooker.

Murdered December 30,
eight blocks from here.

That's a Tuesday.
Tuesdays I paint.

I have therapy at five

then I go to Wawa
for a Red Bull.

Uh, get a Newsweek,
I'm home by 10:00.

Plenty of time for prostitutes
in that schedule.

I don't use prostitutes.

Risperdal.
You got schizophrenia?

- Yeah.
- Hear voices?

God talking through
the garbage?

- I'm better now.
- It's tough getting better.

You stop taking these

you can fall into
psychotic behavior.

I take 'em.

Or maybe, you lapsed
right around December 30

voices started saying
you should hurt that hooker.

I don't go near
those whores!

Yeah, he comes here
all the time.

Hangs around and
tries to talk to us.

He ever talk to your
friend Lenore?

Oh, he especially
liked her.

Stared at her from
across the street.

- He the one killed her?
- Uh, we don't know.

I figured it was a bad
John who did it.

Alright. This kid was never
Lenore's trick?

Mm-mm. He walked up
to her once, though.

Said he loved her
flaxen hair

and asked would she
go back with him.

- She go?
- Hell, no!

He didn't have no money.

Man! I never would've thought
it could've been this creep.

We don't know that
it is, Trish.

You know, I thought you guys
would've blown Lenore off.

Dead hooker,
who cares?

No one's getting
blown off.

Come here.
I wanna show you something.

Get in.

Hey! Not you, her.

Tight fit in here, huh?

I'm not staying
anywhere right now.

Lenore and me met while we
was studying to be beauticians.

We hit if off right away.

Look.
That's us.

Mm-hmm.
Best friends, huh?

Figured you should have
a real picture of her

not some mug shot.

- What's this one?
- Oh, Lenore had this rich John.

He was gonna divorce, so he gave
Lenore the diamond earrings

he had just bought
for his wife.

- Nice.
- Yeah.

Instead of just keeping it
for herself, she gives me one.

We made friendship rings...
but for the belly.

Lenore had
the other one, huh?

She wore it all the time.

Any mention of a diamond belly
ring in the Norristown report?

Uh, no.
Doer probably took it.

[knock on door]

- You the detectives?
- Rush and Valens.

This is difficult for us.

- We only had one child.
- We understand.

We already know
who killed our daughter.

Uh, we have another suspect
we wanna ask you about.

Hmm.
Maybe, I wasn't clear.

Roy Minard killed Holly.

Maybe, I wasn't clear.

We're Homicide and we're
looking at someone else.

- Who?
- Barry Tepler.

He went to college
with Holly.

He was here
for Thanksgiving.

That kid was harmless.

Mr. Richardson, if someone
else is responsible

don't you want to know that?

I know who killed Holly.
A father knows.

[sighing]

Well, Barry was infatuated
with your daughter.

So was Minard.

(Holly)
'I'll come back early,
if you break the rules'

and come see a movie
with me in public.

I gotta go.
My mom has the cake out.

- Is that for me?
- Yeah.

[laughing]

A ticket to Paris?

[laughing]

- Who was that on the phone?
- A friend from school.

A man called for
you earlier.

Dad, I'm not a kid.

Then talk to me
like an adult.

Um, he is my Art History
professor.

He seduced her.

He fell in love with her.

And who wouldn't?

'She was just
so damn special.'

Thought you kept your home
and campus life separate, Roy.

Not even a phone call.
Ain't that what he said?

That's right.

Except you called Holly
on her birthday.

- At her parents' house.
- That's right, I did.

Open book.

- Remember, Roy?
- I'd forgotten about that.

And maybe you were a little
more invested in Holly

than you're tellin' us.

You got some other
motive here, Minard?

My motive was to get my life
and my career back.

As far as the phone call's
concerned, Holly..

...insisted that I call her
on her birthday.

Said if didn't,
she was going to call me.

So what? You said your
wife knew about the affairs.

Knowing about it
in the back of your mind

and hearing a girl's
voice on the line

they're two different things.

(Rush)
'Holly told her dad
she broke things off'

with you in April.

But you were still
going strong in May.

You'd tell your dad the truth
about your sex life?

What's all that?

Two hundred
and twenty-eight..

...articles on Roy Minard.

Murderer.

"President's Award
for an Outstanding Lecturer."

Why can't they put
that on the news?

People like a story.

You're a postmodernist.

A what?

Well, that's the crux
of the theory, anyway.

Social construction
of reality.

- What are you talking about?
- Society needs a narrative.

You know, given seemingly
random facts and events

we need to weave them
into a story.

Otherwise, the world
wouldn't make any sense.

I can see that.

How do we process this
beautiful young girl dying?

We can't.

Not without a perpetrator.

And so, if one isn't obvious,
we find one.

We assign the blame.
It makes the story complete.

It's an action. Explanation.
Order restored.

Why people gotta
believe in God, too.

Mm-hmm, exactly.

Too many un-answerables
without him.

Makes some sense.

Well, I'd be even more
fascinated if I weren't

the foil of it all,
but, yes, it does.

It makes some sense.

(Rush)
'Kite!'

Uh, office is closed, Rush.

Seven O'clock?

Yeah, well, spare me
the Homicide mantra.

"When your day ends,
ours just begins."

- It's true.
- Yeah, I've seen the T-shirt.

Well, I don't know
what I'd do with myself

if I went home at 7:00.

Uh, you remember
the Holly Richardson job?

Yeah, everybody
wanted that one.

Why?
There's nothing on it.

Pretty Ivy League girl,
philandering professor

kind of case
gets you on Court TV.

Where you'd look like a fool

'cause the Commonwealth
had crap?

I guess.
Have you eaten?

Uh, look, I need a search
warrant on this kid Barry.

Um, do you know
any Norristown DA's?

- 'Cause I haven't eaten.
- I need it right away.

This kid knows
we're looking at him.

Sit with me.
We'll run the case.

Or we can do it tomorrow.
I've got 15 minutes at 4:30.

[chuckles]

[groaning]

Barry Tepler fits
for both jobs.

Huh, I got a
narrative on him.

A what?

A story that adds up.

He had it bad
for Holly, right?

Gets rejected by her

then he's hanging
around this hooker

Lenore, the last few months.

Who he claims
he didn't know.

Who also rejected him.

Both girls end up
dead in the water.

Well, if he's
so in love with 'em

why no sexual element
to these murders?

Well, Barry's schizophrenic.

A lot of people with that
condition, no sex drive.

And the voices you hear,
they're powerful.

They tell you to
kill someone, you do it.

You're knowledgeable, huh?

Yeah.

I know someone.

Where's Lil?

Uh, she's getting a
warrant for Barry's.

To find the hooker's belly ring,
those letters to Holly.

Maybe he starts ownin' up.

Huh. Alright.
Goodnight, Scotty.

Yeah.

So, Roy Minard
is innocent after all?

I don't assume anything.

But this Barry kid makes..

...more sense.

So what's he like, Minard?

Kind of a cad.

But a charming one?

I guess.

So you figure a guy's bad news
if he mixes work and pleasure?

I don't have a big
opinion on that.

Hmm.

So, uh, I'll call this
Norristown guy in the morning.

How come we always
talk about work?

'Cause we work together.

Well, tell me
something personal.

No.

Why not?

Come on, Rush.
Why not?

[laughing]
Because..

I'm bad at it. And..

I gotta go.

- Well, let me walk you.
- I'll be fine!

- I'm packin'.
- Uh, watch..

I know.

Stand still, okay?

What are you doing?

I'm gonna kiss you.

- No.
- Just give it a try.

[laughing]
A try..

- Come on.
- Come on, Rush.

All you, gotta do
is stand there.

Don't panic.

It's over in three seconds.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

Um..

So, sit with that
overnight and, uh

see how...it settles in.

Ahem.

[music continues]

Everything has its place.
Everything has its..

Everything has its place!

(Rush)
'Read the warrant.
We got a right.'

Why are you doing this to me?
What did I do wrong?

You lied about that
flaxen-haired hooker.

- Asking her home and all.
- I just wanted to paint her.

Pay dirt.

Guess you lied about having
these letters to Holly, too.

Please don't take those.

Got to read 'em, Barry.

They sent you to ruin my life.

I know.

They watch outside
in the shadows

in the closet,
behind the coats..

Stress is bringing
on an episode.

You think I can't hear them?

Take him out for
some air, will you?

That high pitch? Huh?

Like a whistle?

Tries to make you crazy!

What's it say?

"To my Holly.

"If thou wilt needs marry,
marry a fool.

"For wise men
know well enough

what monsters
you make of them."

Some kind of poetry?

Maybe Shakespeare?

No belly ring at Barry's?

Hmm. Turned his place
inside out.

Maybe sold it for cash.

"Who set this ancient
quarrel new abroach?"

What the hell? I thought this
was about a girl on a balcony.

Just find the quote
from Barry's letter.

Wait. Hold up.
"Is your name Shylock?"

- That's not the quote.
- 'I know.'

It's the first thing I've
understood in about an hour.

It's here, in "Hamlet."

Thank god.

"If thou wilt needs marry,
marry a fool.

"For wise men know well enough
what monsters you make of them.

To a nunnery, go,
and quickly, too."

Hamlet says it to Ophelia.

And it looks like it was
a one-sided kind of love.

He rejects her.

But Barry was
the one rejected.

(Rush)
Right.

Flip to the back.
How's it end?

Uh, she...goes mad
and drowns.

Both our vics were
found in the drink.

"The drink?"
You the bard now?

Monster could mean...
Barry's illness.

He blames it on Holly?

Let's find out.

About that belly ring.

Scotty's right.
Barry could've sold it.

You wanna check
consignment and pawn shops?

Yeah.

Once I'm finished with
this scintillating play.

- Sellin' or buyin'?
- Buyin'.

Pawn shop on the corner said
you might have what we want.

Don't give that schmuck
your business.

Schmuck that has this

diamond belly ring..

...is the one
gets our business.

Just got some
vintage cufflinks.

The belly ring.
That's all we want.

You're missing out, fellas.
They're Tiger Eye.

[whispers]
Yeah.

- This what you had in mind?
- Yeah.

- Exactly.
- Nice stone. Two carats.

How much?

- Ten Bens.
- Call the seller.

Tell him to come down here
and collect his dough.

So you saw you and Holly
as a kinda modern-day

Hamlet and Ophelia, huh?

So?

It didn't end well for
that chick in the play, Barry.

It didn't end well
for Holly, either.

It's just a letter.

"Wise men know well enough
what monsters you make of them."

You saying she made
you into a monster?

No, passion.
Passion is the monster.

I just, I..

I wanted to get her attention

show her I was sensitive.

Not like that old...guy
she was seeing.

Oh, you knew about Minard?

He shouldn't date students.

It's not an
equal relationship.

[sighs]

So when Holly
was stupid enough

not to be moved by
your borrowed poetry..

Throw those letters
back in your face.

When she stayed in her unequal
relationship with Minard

and told you to leave
her the hell alone

you wanted to punish her.

Followed her that night,
snapped off an antenna.

Then whip, whip, whip.
Strangle, strangle.

Splash.

I saw her that night.

But I only talked to her.

- You okay?
- Mm-hmm.

Well, I know I'm not
supposed to come near you--

No, it's alright, you can.

[slow instrumental music]

I, uh..

Oh..

[sniffles]

What happened?

I found out
what a bitch I am.

You're not a bitch.

I saw Minard's wife.
And their kid.

They're real.

I pretended
they weren't, but..

...they're a family.

That guy's not right
for you anyway.

Oh.
Well, he doesn't think so.

- He wants to stay together.
- Really?

You know, the truth is..

I don't care about him.

I was just playing a game.

And I, I don't love him.

Maybe..

Maybe you could love me.

No.

I'll never love you, either.

[music continues]

Girl you love says
that to you and you just..

...get up and go
back to the dorm?

Yeah.

Oh, we didn't hear
it like that, Barry.

We heard Holly was pissed off
at Minard after that party.

Lil.

What's going on?

Holly's mother called.

[siren blaring]

I won't fight you.

I don't care how many
times you hit me.

- Mr. Richardson,
- I'm not gonna hit you.

This won't solve anything.

You won't take care
of this guy, I'll do it myself.

I am taking care of it.
I'm reinvestigating.

Holly was an innocent girl

and this bastard...
took advantage of her.

I was wrong, okay?
I shouldn't have been with her.

You have every reason
to hate me for that.

- But I did not hurt Holly.
- Don't say that.

I know you did it.
I know it.

Please let me handle this.

I miss her.

I know.

[panting]

Holly was special.

'Maybe you don't want
to hear that from me.'

But she talked about you.
All the time.

She adored you.

I know he did it.

[dramatic music]

Whoa.
Hey. Ha-ha.

Did you get that warrant okay?

- I did.
- Alright.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

I guess we won't talk
about the other thing.

- Yeah, okay.
- Okay.

Punk!

Tu hermana
es un stupido, abuelo.

Shut...up!

Who is this?

Jesus Torres. Ex-con.

Tried to sell
Lenore Grandy's belly ring.

[Torres speaking Spanish]

What's he sayin'?

Somethin' not so nice
about Vera's sister.

Well, looks like you got
two suspects now.

This ring belonged
to Lenore Grandy.

The hooker you killed
up in Norristown.

I tell you..

Told you.
I didn't kill no one.

What's your parole officer
gonna think about all this?

Six months out and you already
got ties to two murders.

- Two?
- 'Yeah. Lenore Grandy.'

Two weeks ago, Holly Richardson
in '95. Same doer.

Say "Jesus has not adjusted
to life after prison

in the way we had hoped."

- Maybe I took the diamond.
- 'Now, that's a start.'

Yeah, but it ain't
like you say.

- Hmm.
- 'What is it like?'

I go to the river,
I find the girl dead, already

in the water.

I see the ring.

Think, she don't
need it now, right?

- Nah, she's iced.
- That's all I do.

I steal from someone
don't need it anymore.

Now, here's my vision for
what happened.

You met Lenore in your hood

fell in love
with that flaxen hair

which was a lot
like Holly's.

Holly was a honey blonde.

And thought, "Well,
here's a Holly look-alike

"and she's just a hooker.

Maybe I can get this one."

I just wanted to paint Lenore,
I'm a painter.

But then she gives
you the high hat.

Rejected by a whore.
That's humiliating.

The last straw.

So you figure,
let me give this bitch

'the same treatment
I gave Holly.'

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

I got to show you somethin'.

You study the
pre-Raphaelites there, Jesus?

Que? What?

John Everett Millais
one of your favorites?

It's called "Ophelia".

I never saw that.

Yeah, but you do
recognize that, uh

Lenore was posed
just like poor Ophelia here.

I don't know nothing
about paintings.

No?

All I did was
steal the ring.

She was layin'
in the water..

Lying in the water,
already dead.

Say that again.

She was lyin'
in the water dead.

- Chickens lay.
- People lie.

You take ESL with Mr. Roy?

- No. Nada.
- 'Hey, look.'

(Valens)
'It's easy to prove, Jesus.'

'There's a registry for that.'

You and him made a deal,
didn't you?

'Murder for hire
gets you the death penalty'

'nine times
out of ten, Jesus.'

Lucky part for you is,
we want Roy more than you.

Tell your side,
we tell the DA you cooperated.

[instrumental music]

I done this before.
10,000.

(Minard)
'I can't do ten.
Five maybe.'

Come on, it...it's a hooker.

It'll be the easiest
money you've ever made.

[chuckles]

It's so easy, you do it.

And it'll cost you nothing.

I have to be in class
to establish my alibi.

[music continues]

Okay. I do for six.

Alright, but remember,
you stick to the script.

Everything's got to be done

exactly the way
it was last time.

- 'Comprende,Jesus?'
-Si.

(Minard)
'You know, I end up teaching
this pathetic class, and, uh..'

It was all to meet you,
my friend.

[chuckles]

That's destiny.

I'll be back after this.

Where I belong.

Minard, what's destiny?

It's what sets you free.

I thought it was truth.

Truth sets you free.

No. It's destiny.
Trust me.

He only pay me 3,000.

So, I figure
I deserved the jewelry.

Seems only fair.

(Rush)
'Back inside the ivy walls?'

Yeah, I had a...lunch
with the dean.

I don't want to
appear too hopeful

but the head
of my old department

is stepping down
in the fall.

Getting your name cleared
would help a lot, huh?

Oh, it couldn't hurt.

You'll be glad to know
we have someone in custody.

No.
Who is it?

Jesus Torres.

A student in your ESL class.

Jesus...Jesus, no.

I-I'm sorry, that doesn't
ring a bell.

(Rush)
'That's not what he says.'

He says you told him
you killed Holly.

What?

And hired him to kill Lenore
in a copycat killing.

That..
That's absurd.

Well, I know you are
the brilliant professor

and we're just dumb cops.

I don't think you're dumb.

Who couldn't possibly
have heard of Ophelia.

I don't think you're dumb.

I just think you're
falling for a story.

Almost, Minard.

I almost fell
for your story.

But your boy, Jesus,
screwed up your plan.

And he got greedy, stole
something off the body.

'Led us back to you.'

Jesus is a lifetime criminal

with a third-world education.

Thought you didn't know him.

You have his
word against mine.

- It hardly makes a case.
- No.

But the second body being
posed just like the first?

That makes my case.

The public didn't know
those details.

Only Holly's killer did.

And who's gonna believe
a dummy like Jesus

ever studied art history?

I had to regain my station.

And Jesus offered
a way to do that.

You knew about Barry's
letters to Holly.

Calling her his "Ophelia."

She showed me
a few of them.

Pillow talk, if you will.

So you just needed to find
another girl to link Barry to.

Make it look like
she was his second Ophelia.

(Valens)
'Frame him for both.'

Guy's just a schizo,
what's his life worth, anyway?

I contribute.

Don't look at me like
I'm some kind of monster.

Holly shares some
of the blame of this, too.

Oh, really?
What'd Holly do?

She made me love her.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

You left angry.

I could tell.

What?
What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.
It's just over.

- What makes you say that?
- You have a wife.

- Then I'll leave her for you.
- No.

I will. I will.
I really will.

I thought I loved you,
but it was in a childish way.

You know, this hard-to-get act
is a little juvenile for you.

You know, I just
wanted to have fun.

I didn't even think
about your family.

Hey.

Did you hear what I just said,
that I love you?

Well, I don't love you.
I don't love anyone.

Except yourself.

Yeah, and you love you.

That's why we get
along so well.

I say when it's over.

I make the rules.

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

I decide.

[Holly screaming]

I decide!

I decide!

[whimpering]

[groaning]

I decide.

[gasps]

[music continues]
