Facing the Enemy (2001) - full transcript
Griff McCleary is a cop, now his son shot himself with Griff's gun. A year later both he and his wife are still reeling from it. Griff feeling shut out by his wife Olivia, decides to move out. Now he is investigating what appears to be a murder-suicide. He believes that there was no suicide. His investigation leads him to a girl named Nikki. It seems that Nikki is a little fragile and has not had much luck with men. When Griff helps her, she asks if she could stay with Griff, and after she and Griff sleep together, she learns that he is a cop and that he has been following her, shattered Nikki shoots herself. Griff is then suspended from the force. But he is unaware that her partner-lover, Harlan, wanting to get back at Griff, is pursuing Olivia, who is vulnerable after hearing what happened between Griff and Nikki.
Boy: FREEZE!
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!
Second Boy:
YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME.
GOTCHA!
NO WAY.
First Boy:
YOU CAN'T HURT ME,
I'M WEARING MY VEST.
I'VE GOT
SPECIAL BULLETS.
HEY! I WANT TO SHOW YOU
SOMETHING. WAIT RIGHT HERE!
HEY, YOU NEED
ANY HELP?
HI. I THOUGHT YOU
WERE ON THE COMPUTER.
NO, JUST
GOOFING AROUND.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU COULD HELP ME
CUT SOME CARROTS.
I FORGOT
TO ASK YOU--
HMM?
HAVE YOU TALKED
TO LIEUTENANT RUNYON
ABOUT NOVEMBER?
YEAH. HE SAID IT'S TOO EARLY
TO MAKE ANY KIND OF COMMITMENT.
TOO MANY HIGH-PRIORITY CASES,
NOT ENOUGH MAN-POWER,
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
Woman: HERE,
LET ME HAVE THOSE.
Man: MMM.
SMELLS GOOD!
HOW MUCH LONGER?
WHAT IS IT?
IT'S A SECRET.
SO YOU STILL WANT TO
GO TO THE GRAND CANYON?
YEAH, WE COULD
START THERE.
START THERE?
WHAT, ARE WE
GONNA TAKE A TOUR
OF THE WESTERN
UNITED STATES?
THIS IS THE GUN DAD USES
TO CATCH REAL CROOKS.
YOU'RE GONNA
GET IN TROUBLE.
OH! HOT! HOT!
BUT IT'S GOT THOSE
LITTLE ONIONS I LIKE.
TASTE GOOD?
MM-HMM. MAYBE
A LITTLE SALT.
DAD SAYS I'M GONNA BE
A POLICEMAN ONE DAY,
JUST LIKE HIM.
IS IT LOADED?
NAH. DON'T THINK SO.
YOU KNOW, TAKE THE BULLETS
OUT AT THE POLICE STATION.
SEE? IT DOESN'T WORK.
DO YOU THINK JEFFREY
WANTS TO STAY FOR DINNER?
I DON'T KNOW.
I'LL ASK HIM.
THEY'RE OUT
THERE PLAYING.
YEAH.
I'LL CALL HIS MOM.
WHAT'S THIS DO?
KEVIN!
[GUNSHOT]
NO!
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
YEAH.
Man: WE'VE GOT
A DOUBLE HOMICIDE
AT 24th AND GRAMERCY.
SORRY TO WAKE YOU
LIKE THIS.
YEAH. GIVE ME 10 MINUTES
TO GET DRESSED.
Officer: MA'AM, I KNOW
THIS IS VERY TRAUMATIC,
BUT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW
OUR STANDARD PROCEDURES.
CASS.
MURDER-SUICIDE.
CHEERY WAY TO START
THE DAY, HUH?
YEP.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE
YOU CAN TELL ME ABOUT
YOUR RELATIONSHIP?
WERE THEY
HAVING ANY KIND OF
FINANCIAL PROBLEMS?
THEY GOT NAMES?
WILLIAM AND
PRISCILLA VACCARO.
WHAT ABOUT THE
WATERWORKS OUTSIDE?
FEMALE VICTIM'S SISTER
DISCOVERED THE BODIES.
M.E. AND FORENSICS
SHOULD BE HERE ANY MINUTE.
I HATE WORKING
THESE SPOUSAL HOMICIDES.
ANOTHER FIGHT
WITH YOUR EX, HUH?
THAT HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH IT.
JUST DEPRESSES ME THAT
THOSE 2 PEOPLE IN THERE
STOOD BEFORE GOD
AND PROMISED TO LOVE
EACH OTHER FOREVER.
DON'T TALK TO ME
ABOUT GOD.
THIS SHIT
WOULDN'T HAPPEN
IF PEOPLE LEARNED
HOW TO CONTROL
THEIR EMOTIONS.
I CAN'T ARGUE
WITH THAT.
SEE YOU LATER.
[CLUNK]
SORRY.
HI.
I CAN'T DO THIS.
I CAN'T DO THIS.
YOU CAN'T
DO WHAT, OLIVIA?
CAN'T MAKE LOVE
TO YOUR OWN HUSBAND?
IF WE HAVE SEX,
EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.
ISN'T THAT
WHAT YOU THINK?
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I THINK.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T
EVEN KNOW WHAT TO
SAY TO YOU ANYMORE.
WHAT IS IT
THAT YOU WANT?
I WANT OUR SON BACK.
WELL, HE'S
NOT COMING BACK.
AND NOTHING YOU SAY
OR DO IS GOING
TO CHANGE THAT.
THE SOONER
YOU REALIZE THAT,
THE SOONER
YOU CAN GET ON
WITH YOUR OWN LIFE.
IT'S BEEN A YEAR.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
AND IN ALL THAT TIME,
YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
TO THE CEMETERY, GRIFF.
NOT ONCE.
WHAT ARE YOU
AFRAID OF?
ENOUGH.
GRIFF, WHAT
ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT I
SHOULD'VE DONE
A LONG TIME AGO.
NO! NO! NO!
PUT IT BACK!
OLIVIA! OLIVIA!
NO! OLIVIA! STOP IT!
LET GO OF ME.
GRIFF.
I'M LEAVING.
I DON'T WANT
TO HURT YOU, OLIVIA.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK,
I STILL LOVE YOU VERY MUCH.
IS THAT
WHAT YOU CALL THIS,
AN ACT OF LOVE?
CHRIST. I DON'T
KNOW WHAT IT IS.
I JUST KNOW
WE CAN'T KEEP LIVING
LIKE THIS ANYMORE.
MAYBE YOU
SHOULD LEAVE.
YOU LEFT A LONG
TIME AGO, ANYWAY.
YOU DON'T GET IT,
DO YOU?
THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME.
THIS IS ABOUT YOU.
THINGS ARE NEVER GOING
TO BE RIGHT BETWEEN US
TILL YOU STOP BLAMING ME
FOR KEVIN'S DEATH.
THAT IS NOT TRUE!
OH, IT IS TRUE!
YOU THROW IT
IN MY FACE EVERY DAY
WITH THAT SHRINE IN THERE!
WHAT I BLAME YOU FOR
IS NOT BEING THERE
FOR ME
WHEN I NEEDED YOU
THE MOST.
GRIFF,
AFTER THE ACCIDENT,
IT WAS LIKE
YOU SHUT DOWN.
I MEAN, YOU DIDN'T
FEEL ANYTHING.
YOU WANTED ME
NOT TO FEEL
ANYTHING, TOO.
AND I CAN'T DO THAT.
I'M NOT A MACHINE.
HE WAS MY SON.
I KNOW.
AND I LOVED HIM.
AND I MOURN FOR HIM.
BUT I WILL BE GODDAMNED
IF I'M GOING TO MOURN
MY LIFE AWAY.
WHAT'S WITH YOU TODAY?
YOU LOOK LIKE SHIT.
OH, NO. YOU TELL ME NOW,
OR TELL ME LATER.
YOU'RE A PAIN IN THE ASS,
YOU KNOW THAT?
I KNOW. NOW SING.
I MOVED OUT LAST NIGHT.
NOW, THAT WAS
A DUMBASS THING TO DO.
CHRIST.
THIS FROM A WOMAN
WHO'S STILL PAYING OFF
HER DIVORCE LAWYER.
YES, I LEARN
FROM MY MISTAKES.
CORONER'S REPORT
OF THE VACCAROS.
THANKS, BENNY.
Benny: JUST CAME IN.
WELL?
THE CORONER REPORTS
THAT THE MURDER-SUICIDE
IS PROBABLE CAUSES OF DEATH.
ALL RIGHT. LET'S PUT
THIS PUPPY TO BED.
WELL, I'D BE HAPPY TO,
EXCEPT FOR ONE THING.
WHAT'S THAT?
I'M NOT CONVINCED THAT
IT WAS A MURDER-SUICIDE.
ANOTHER GRIFF HUNCH?
YOU'VE EARNED
THE BENEFIT
OF THE DOUBT.
LET'S HEAR IT.
ALL RIGHT.
PRISCILLA VACCARO
WAS FACING HER ATTACKER
WHEN SHE WAS SHOT.
YEAH. SO?
SO, HOW MANY OF
THESE SPOUSE SHOOTINGS
HAVE WE INVESTIGATED?
ENOUGH.
EXACTLY.
AND HOW MANY TIMES
WAS THE VICTIM SHOT
FROM THE FRONT?
I'D HAVE
TO LOOK IT UP.
DON'T BOTHER.
I ALREADY DID.
ALMOST NEVER.
EITHER THEY'RE SHOT
WHILE THEY WERE ASLEEP,
OR THEY'RE SHOT
FROM BEHIND,
WHICH MAKES
PERFECT SENSE TO ME,
'CAUSE IF YOU'RE
GOING TO DO AWAY
WITH THE PERSON
THAT YOU SHARED YOUR BED,
YOUR LIFE WITH,
THE ODDS ARE
THE LAST THING
YOU WANNA BE DOING
IS LOOKING THEM
IN THE EYE WHEN
YOU PULL THE TRIGGER.
ONLY A COLD-BLOODED KILLER
COULD DO THAT.
I JUST DON'T THINK
WE SHOULD BE TOO QUICK
TO, UH,
CLOSE THE BOOKS ON THIS.
AM I YOUR WHORE, TEDDY?
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
WE HAVE SEX, AND THEN
YOU GO HOME TO YOUR WIFE.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU CALL IT?
YOU KNOW
I DON'T LOVE HER.
THEN WHY
DON'T YOU LEAVE HER?
LOOK, I'VE EXPLAINED
ALL THIS TO YOU.
IF I DID THAT,
IT'D BE
FINANCIAL SUICIDE.
IF YOU LOVE ME, TEDDY,
IF YOU
REALLY LOVE ME...
MY WIFE HAS ME
BY THE BALLS.
IF I DIVORCE HER,
I LOSE EVERYTHING.
WELL...
TEDDY...
THERE IS ANOTHER WAY.
HARLAN?
SO?
NO PROBLEMS.
I LOVE YOU, ANGEL.
I LOVE YOU, TOO.
MMM MMM!
GOOD GIRL.
TELL ME SOMETHING.
WHEN YOU'RE WITH
THOSE OTHER MEN, HMM?
ARE YOU THINKING OF ME?
I COULDN'T DO IT
OTHERWISE.
GOOD.
IT DRIVES ME CRAZY...
THINKING OF YOU
WITH ANOTHER MAN.
PART OF ME WANTS
TO BUST RIGHT IN THERE
AND STRANGLE THEM
ON THE SPOT.
BUT I REMEMBER THAT
IT'S ALL FOR THE GREATER GOOD.
AND THAT WHEN ALL
IS SAID AND DONE...
YOU'RE MINE.
OLIVIA,
YOU HAVE A VISITOR.
HEY.
SORRY TO BARGE IN
ON YOU LIKE THIS.
HOW YOU DOING?
OK.
HANGING IN THERE.
YEAH, ME, TOO.
LISTEN,
THERE'S SOMETHING
I NEED TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT.
YOU GOT A MINUTE?
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S JUST SIT OVER HERE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S, UH,
IT'S BENNY AND JANICE'S
WEDDING ON THE 12th,
AND WE TOLD THEM
WE'D GO, SO, UH,
I WAS WONDERING
WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO
BECAUSE IF YOU
STILL WANT TO GO,
I WAS THINKING THAT
MAYBE WE'D GO TOGETHER
TO AVOID ANY KIND
OF AWKWARDNESS
OR EMBARRASSMENT.
IS THAT WHAT
YOU REALLY CAME HERE
TO TALK TO ME ABOUT?
YEAH. YOU KNOW,
IT JUST CAME UP.
WE GOTTA
LET THEM KNOW.
GRIFF, I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T THINK
IT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA.
WHY?
BECAUSE WE'RE NOT
A COUPLE RIGHT NOW,
AND IF WE START PRETENDING
THAT WE ARE,
IT'LL JUST
CONFUSE THINGS.
LOOK, MAYBE
I SHOULDN'T GO, OK?
IT'LL BE EASIER
ON EVERYBODY.
JEEZ, OLIVIA,
WHERE'S THE HARM
IN US JUST
BEING TOGETHER
FOR A LITTLE BIT?
THE HARM IS
OF US BEING TOGETHER
JUST WHEN IT'S
CONVENIENT FOR YOU.
IT JUST HURTS TOO MUCH
FOR ME TO DO THAT, GRIFF.
YOU KNOW,
THINGS NEED
TO CHANGE FIRST,
AND UNTIL THEY DO...
I'M SORRY.
Woman:
I DON'T KNOW, TEDDY.
MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST
CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF.
NO, I WANT TO GO
THROUGH WITH IT.
I JUST WANT
TO BE SURE
I CAN TRUST
THIS GUY.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW,
HE, UM...
I TOLD YOU
HE'S AN EX-MARINE,
AND HE'S A FRIEND
OF MY COUSIN'S.
OH, HE CAN DO IT.
HE CAN.
LET'S NOT WASTE
ANYBODY'S TIME, HUH?
IS THERE A NIGHT
NEXT WEEK
WHEN YOUR WIFE
IS HOME ALONE?
THURSDAYS, THURSDAY.
OK. HERE'S THE DEAL.
ON THURSDAY NEXT,
I DELIVER YOU
ONE DEAD WIFE.
I'LL MAKE IT LOOK
LIKE SHE WAS KILLED
DURING
A ROBBERY ATTEMPT,
NICE AND NEAT,
NO LOOSE ENDS.
I NEED A RECENT
PHOTO OF HER,
A KEY TO YOUR HOUSE,
THE SECURITY CODE,
AND $250,000.
YOU CAN AFFORD IT.
INSURANCE ALONE
WILL COVER IT
AND MUCH MORE.
IT'S A SWEET DEAL.
YOU GET EVERYTHING
YOU WANT,
A CLEAN BREAK
FROM YOUR WIFE,
MOST OF ALL
THE MONEY
AND THAT
GORGEOUS CREATURE
IN YOUR CAR
OVER THERE.
ARE YOU GONNA
WALK AWAY FROM IT
OVER A FEW
THOUSAND DOLLARS?
BECAUSE I WILL NOT
PASS THIS WAY AGAIN.
ARE YOU IN?
YEAH.
GOOD.
NOW LISTEN
CAREFULLY,
BECAUSE HERE'S
WHAT YOU DO.
I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT
ABOUT THE GUNSHOTS,
BUT I'M NOT SURE
YOU GOT A CASE HERE.
LOOK, I'M TELLING YOU
THINGS DON'T ADD UP.
LIKE THE MURDER WEAPON.
IT'S HOCKED.
THE DEALER WAS SOME PUNK
FROM BOYLE HEIGHTS.
BOYLE HEIGHTS,
SO WHAT?
SO HOW OFTEN DO YOU
SEE AN ARMANI SUIT
SLUMMING DOWN IN BOYLE
HEIGHTS FOR A .38, HUH?
WHO KNOWS WHY ANYBODY
DOES ANYTHING ANYMORE?
WHAT ELSE YOU GOT?
LOOK AT THOSE.
MMM!
GIVES THIS MONTH'S
CENTERFOLD
A RUN FOR HER MONEY.
HMMPH. WHERE'D
YOU GET THESE?
VACARRO'S OFFICE,
UNDER LOCK AND KEY,
APPARENTLY FOR
PRIVATE VIEWING ONLY.
SO HE WAS HAVING
SOME TAIL ON THE SLY.
WHAT'S IT PROVE?
WHAT IT PROVES
IS THAT NO BALDING
MIDDLE-AGED MILLIONAIRE
GETTING FUCKING TAIL
LIKE THAT
IS GONNA PUT A BULLET
IN HIS OWN BRAIN.
AND ON TOP OF THAT,
THE GUY'S GOT A $2-MILLION
LIFE INSURANCE POLICY
ON HIS WIFE.
SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD REASON
TO CAP HER.
YEAH.
AND 2 MILLION REASONS
NOT TO CAP HIMSELF.
YOU HAVEN'T
SAID ANYTHING YET.
THIS IS
GRIFF'S PLAY.
OK. SO WHAT'S
YOUR GUT SAY?
NO WAY THIS IS
MURDER-SUICIDE.
IT'S DOUBLE HOMICIDE.
[WATER RUNNING]
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HOME?
I THOUGHT
YOU WERE IN VEGAS.
MY PLANS CHANGED.
WHY?
THEY JUST CHANGED,
THAT'S ALL.
HEH! YOU'RE
IN A PISSY MOOD.
WHAT HAPPENED?
YOUR LITTLE TRAMP
DIDN'T SHOW UP?
AAH!
SORRY. TOOK LONGER
THAN I EXPECTED.
SHE WASN'T HOME
WHEN I GOT HERE.
I HAD
TO WAIT AROUND.
[SOBBING]
GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?
IT'S BETTER
IF YOU DON'T LOOK.
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?
OHH!
I TOLD YOU
TO WAIT IN THE CAR.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO
BE KEEPING WATCH.
YOU--YOU WERE TAKING
SO LONG, I GOT WORRIED.
[GUNSHOT]
COME ON, LET'S GO.
YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED
TO BE THERE, NIKKI.
YOU SHOULD NEVER
HAVE SEEN THAT.
YEAH, THINK OF
THE MONEY, BABY.
THAT'S FREEDOM.
THAT'S POWER.
OH, THAT'S
THE GOOD LIFE,
AND IT'S ALL
IN THAT BRIEFCASE
JUST WAITING FOR US.
THAT'S GOOD.
YOU THINK
ON THAT, OK?
AND NOTHING ELSE,
ANGEL.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HOMICIDE. McCLEARY.
HEY, POPS, WHAT'S UP?
WHAT?
UH-HUH. GOT IT.
TELL ME SOMETHING.
HOW WAS SHE SHOT?
ALL RIGHT. TALK
TO YOU SOON. BYE.
WE GOT ANOTHER
MURDER-SUICIDE,
THIS ONE UP
IN SANTA BARBARA.
UH, SOME FAT CAT
NAMED TED GALLOWAY
AND HIS WIFE.
HOLY SHIT.
WE'RE
GONNA COORDINATE
OUR INVESTIGATION
WITH THE DEPARTMENT
UP THERE.
OH, BY THE WAY,
GALLOWAY'S WIFE
WAS SHOT
THROUGH THE HEART
FROM THE FRONT.
Harlan:
AND THAT, OF COURSE,
IS A DIRECT FLIGHT?
PALM BEACH.
THAT'S
THE FLIGHT NUMBER?
AND IT IS
AN OPEN RETURN?
THANK YOU. INDEED.
HARLAN,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
YOU SAID WE WERE DRIVING
TO MEXICO.
WE'RE NOT GOING
TO MEXICO,
NOT JUST YET.
WELL, WHERE
ARE WE GOING, THEN?
WELL, I'M GOING
TO PALM BEACH.
AND YOU...
I'M TRUSTING YOU
TO STAY HERE
AND ENJOY YOURSELF
UNTIL I GET BACK.
WHAT ABOUT OUR PLANS?
OUR PLANS
HAVE CHANGED.
ONE MORE
BIG PAY DAY,
AND WE WILL BE
ON EASY STREET.
ONE MORE?
NO, NO, YOU SAID
THIS WAS THE LAST ONE,
RIGHT? YOU PROMISED.
I KNOW, I'M SORRY.
I'LL MAKE IT
UP TO YOU.
PALM BEACH COULD BE
PRIME TERRITORY
FOR US,
BUT I NEED TO
CHECK IT OUT FIRST
BEFORE WE MAKE
THE COMMITMENT.
NO, I CAN'T DO IT.
I CAN'T--I CAN'T DO IT,
I CAN'T DO IT!
AFTER LAST NIGHT,
I CAN'T--
LOOK, ANGEL, THE WAY
YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW
IS TO BE EXPECTED.
THE FIRST TIME
YOU EXPERIENCE
SOMETHING LIKE THAT
IS VERY UPSETTING.
LOOK, CAN'T WE JUST
GO SOMEWHERE NICE?
ANYWHERE, JUST--DOESN'T
HAVE TO BE MEXICO, OK?
SOMEWHERE
WE CAN BE TOGETHER.
IT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE
RIGHT NOW, NIKKI.
OUR FINANCES,
THEY WON'T PERMIT IT.
IT WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE THE LAST TIME.
YOU PROMISED! YOU LIED!
GOD, YOU SAY
YOU LOVE ME.
WHAT, IS THAT--
IS THAT A LIE, TOO?
HUH?
HEY, DO YOU REMEMBER
WHAT IT WAS LIKE
BEFORE YOU MET ME?
YOU WERE SCREWING
YOUR WAY TO OBLIVION.
YOU HAD NOTHING.
YOU WERE
GOING NOWHERE.
BUT NOW YOU'RE
A LADY OF BEAUTY
AND STYLE
AND CLASS.
PEOPLE NOTICE YOU.
WHEN YOU WALK
INTO A ROOM,
HEADS TURN.
I'VE SEEN IT.
YOU BRING
MEN OF MEANS
TO THEIR KNEES.
THEY WORSHIP YOU,
THEY KILL FOR YOU.
THEY EVEN
DIE FOR YOU.
NOW I LOVE YOU
VERY MUCH.
AND IF
YOU DOUBT THAT,
YOU HURT ME.
VERY MUCH.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
[RING]
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HELLO?
IT'S, UH,
IT'S ME, MAMA.
IT--IT'S NIKKI.
MAMA?
WHERE ARE YOU?
I'M REALLY CLOSE BY.
I'M IN L.A.
I WAS THINKING...
MAYBE I COULD COME
UP AND SEE YOU.
DON'T WANT YOU
COMIN' HERE.
PLEASE, MAMA,
THINGS ARE REALLY
DIFFERENT NOW.
UM...
I'VE GOT
LOTS OF MONEY AND--
I DON'T WANT
YOUR DIRTY MONEY.
BUT I COULD
HELP YOU OUT.
DIDN'T CONCERN YOURSELF
WITH ME
WHEN YOU TOOK UP
WITH THE EVIL MAN.
DON'T CONCERN YOURSELF
WITH ME NOW.
HEY.
WHAT'S UP?
WELL, FIRST WE FIND OUT
THE 2 BLONDE HAIRS
ON GALLOWAY'S SHIRT
AREN'T HIS WIFE'S,
AND THEN THIS.
THE GUN WAS STOLEN,
JUST LIKE VACARRO'S.
YEAH,
SOMEBODY BETTER
ALERT THE MEDIA
BECAUSE APPARENTLY
WE GOT AN EPIDEMIC
OF FAT CATS
SNUFFING THEIR WIVES
AND THEN THEMSELVES
WITH STOLEN GUNS.
MURDER-SUICIDE,
MY ASS!
WELL, WELL,
IT'S BEEN A WHILE
SINCE I'VE SEEN YOU
FLASH THOSE PEARLY WHITES.
AND TO THINK,
ALL IT TOOK
WAS A PAIR
OF DOUBLE HOMICIDES.
YEAH, SOMETHING
TO LIVE FOR.
WORK'S ALL I CAN
COUNT ON THESE DAYS.
THE REST OF MY LIFE
IS PRETTY MUCH
FUCKED.
OH, GALLOWAY'S
PHONE RECORDS
SHOWS MULTIPLE CALLS
TO SAME CELL PHONE NUMBER,
INCLUDING 3 TIMES
ON THE DAY HE DIED.
WE TRIED HOOKING UP
WITH THE CELL'S OWNER,
BUT IT SEEMS THE NAME
ON THE CONTRACT IS FAKE,
THE BILLING ADDRESS
IS A P.O. BOX IN VENTURA,
SAME PHONY NAME.
YOU PUT A TRACE
ON THE PHONE?
YEAH, NOT ONLY THAT,
THE PHONE WAS OPERATIVE
WHEN THEY TRIANGULATED.
THEY PINPOINTED
A LOCATION.
IT'S RIGHT
IN OUR BACKYARD.
TOPANGA CANYON.
SOMEONE HAS TO CANVAS.
YEAH, I'LL DO IT.
GOOD.
I'LL BE DAMNED.
THE CENTERFOLD.
[POP MUSIC PLAYING
ON HEADPHONES]
THE HOUSE
IN TOPANGA'S LEASED
TO A JACK DAUBINS.
IT'S AN ALIAS?
YEAH, MOST LIKELY.
LEASING AGENT
NEVER MET HIM,
SAID ALL THE
TRANSACTIONS TOOK PLACE
BY PHONE OR MAIL.
YOU'RE SURE
THIS WOMAN IS HER?
IF IT'S NOT HER,
IT'S HER TWIN SISTER.
OOH,
TWIN CENTERFOLDS.
THERE'S AN IMAGE
GUARANTEED
TO PUT A SMILE
ON YOUR FACE.
WELL, BRING HER IN,
GRILL HER.
I'M NOT SURE
THAT'S A SMART PLAY.
LOOK,
IF SHE IS WORKING
WITH SOMEONE,
WE COULD TIP OFF
HER ACCOMPLICE,
LOSE THEM BOTH.
JUST LET ME DOG HER
FOR A COUPLE DAYS,
SEE WHERE
SHE LEADS US.
DON'T WORRY,
SHE SLIPS UP,
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE
TO CATCH HER.
I BET YOU WILL.
[CLUB MUSIC PLAYING]
HEY, BEAUTIFUL.
NAME'S BRETT.
YOU WANT TO?
NOT INTERESTED.
GOING HOME, BABE?
HEH HEH HEH!
WHAT'S THE MATTER, BITCH?
YOU WON'T EVEN TALK TO ME?
FUCK OFF.
AAH! NO!
DON'T!
DON'T TOUCH ME!
GET OFF OF ME!
HEY, TAKE A HIKE, PAL!
OH, YEAH?
WHO'S GONNA MAKE ME?
I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
ONE MORE CHANCE
TO WALK AWAY,
AND THEN I'M GONNA
BREAK YOUR LEGS.
YOU GOT IT?
YOU OK, MISS?
Y-YEAH, YEAH.
YOU OK TO DRIVE HOME?
I DON'T WANT
TO GO HOME.
UH, YOU GOT
A LITTLE...
SO I GUESS I SHOULD, UM,
THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME.
BUT I DON'T REALLY KNOW
WHY YOU BOTHERED.
WHAT'S THAT
SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
JUST MEANS I SHOULD'VE
LISTENED TO MY MOTHER...
AND NEVER LEFT YUCAIPA.
WHAT?
I LIKE YOUR EYES.
THE EYES ARE
THE WINDOW TO THE SOUL.
I HEARD THAT ON TV.
YEAH, I THINK WE ALL
HEARD THAT ON TV.
SO WHAT DO YOU SEE
IN MY WINDOWS?
A NICE GUY.
YEAH, MAYBE YOU
SHOULD LOOK AGAIN.
NO.
NO, I'VE LOOKED INTO
A LOT OF MEN'S EYES.
I KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT.
AND I DON'T SEE IT
THAT MUCH.
WELL, MAYBE
YOU'RE HANGING OUT
WITH THE WRONG
KIND OF GUYS.
YOU MARRIED?
SO HOW COME YOU'RE
ALL ALONE TONIGHT?
HE'S AWAY ON BUSINESS.
WHAT KIND
OF BUSINESS?
WHY DO YOU ASK
SO MANY QUESTIONS?
JUST MAKING
CONVERSATION.
OK, UM...
YOU MARRIED?
SEPARATED.
HOW COME?
THAT'S A TOUGH ONE.
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
YOU KNOW WHAT,
I DON'T EVEN LIKE
TO THINK ABOUT IT.
DID YOU STOP
LOVING EACH OTHER?
NO.
WELL, WHAT, THEN?
I MEAN, WHAT DID YOU--
DID YOU DO SOMETHING
TO MAKE HER STOP TRUSTING YOU?
YOU KNOW,
WHY DO YOU ASSUME
IT WAS MY FAULT, HUH?
WAS IT?
WELL, NOW YOU'RE ASKING
TOO MANY QUESTIONS.
JUST DRINK
YOUR HOT CHOCOLATE, HUH?
PEOPLE DO
SOME REALLY STUPID THINGS
FOR LOVE, DON'T THEY?
THINGS THEY
HAVE TO LIVE WITH
FOR THE REST
OF THEIR LIVES.
AND SOMETIMES
THAT LIVING GETS A...
A LITTLE TOO HARD.
YEAH.
LISTEN,
IT'S GETTING LATE.
I'M GONNA HEAD OUT.
YOU PULL
YOURSELF TOGETHER.
YOU'RE
GONNA BE FINE.
SEE YOU AROUND,
NIKKI.
WAIT! WAIT.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
HOME.
LOOK, I REALLY DON'T
WANT TO BE ALONE.
TONIGHT.
OK, I CAN'T.
CAN I, UM...
CAN I COME WITH YOU?
NO.
PLEASE.
I DON'T THINK
THAT'D BE A GOOD IDEA.
OK.
I'M SORRY.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW SORRY.
[BABY CRYING]
OK, I FOLLOWED YOU.
DON'T BE MAD.
CAN I COME IN?
PLEASE,
DON'T SEND ME AWAY.
YEAH.
YEAH, COME ON IN.
COME ON IN.
OH, BOY.
I WASN'T REALLY
EXPECTING ANYBODY.
CAN I GET YOU
SOMETHING?
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
I'M A COP.
THOSE PICTURES
WERE TAKEN
BY WILLIAM VACCARO.
WHAT? YOU MEAN
ALL THIS TIME--
NIKKI, LISTEN TO ME.
GOD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
YOU MEAN YOU--YOU--
YOU FUCK ME
AND THEN YOU WANT
TO ARREST ME?
IS THAT HOW YOU WORK?!
WHAT HAPPENED
TONIGHT,
IT SHOULD NEVER
HAVE HAPPENED.
IT WAS WRONG,
I KNOW THAT.
I KNOW, I'M SORRY,
BUT LISTEN,
IF YOU LET ME,
I CAN HELP YOU.
OH, CHRIST! YOU'RE
SUCH A GODDAMNED LIAR!
JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER MAN
I'VE EVER KNOWN!
I AM NOT A LIAR,
AND I'M NOT
GONNA BULLSHIT YOU.
YOU'RE IN
A LOT OF TROUBLE.
4 PEOPLE ARE DEAD,
AND YOU ARE SMACK
IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
NOW, YOU GIVE UP
THE SHOOTER,
I PROMISE YOU
A SQUARE DEAL.
NO.
OH, COME ON, NIKKI.
YOU DIDN'T KILL
THOSE PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW IT,
AND I KNOW IT.
SOMEBODY ELSE
PULLED THE TRIGGER.
WHO WAS IT, HUH?
WAS IT YOUR HUSBAND?
IS HE THE SHOOTER?
WHY SHOULD
I TELL YOU ANYTHING?
BECAUSE
I AM ALL YOU GOT!
BECAUSE THIS THING
IS GONNA EAT YOU
ALIVE.
YOU THINK
YOUR HUSBAND,
HE CARES ABOUT THIS?
YOU THINK
HE REALLY CARES
ABOUT YOU?
SHUT UP, SHUT UP.
DON'T THROW YOUR LIFE
AWAY FOR THIS GUY.
OOH, DON'T YOU COME NEAR ME!
DON'T YOU TOUCH ME!
DON'T YOU
EVER TOUCH ME AGAIN!
EVER! YOU FUCKING PIG!
OH, MY GOD.
YOU'RE ALL THE SAME.
YOU'RE ALL THE SAME.
YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYBODY.
EVERYTHING'S ALL FUCKED UP!
IT'S ALL FUCKED UP!
JUST GET YOU
SOMETHING TO DRINK.
[PANTING]
[GUNSHOT]
Police officer: I WAS FIRST
ON THE SCENE, AND, UH...
HOW YOU DOING?
WHAT THE HELL
WERE YOU THINKING, GRIFF?
I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, YOU'RE IN DEEP,
MY FRIEND.
REAL DEEP.
UNH!
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
GRIFF.
WHAT THE FUCK
ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I'M WAITING
ON OUR BOY.
OUR BOY?
THE KILLER.
MY GOD, GRIFF,
DO YOU REALIZE
WHAT YOU'VE DONE?
MMM, NOT INTERESTED
IN HEARING MY SIDE, HUH?
YOU DON'T HAVE ONE.
OH, YEAH.
THAT'S A NICE WAY
TO STICK UP
FOR YOUR PARTNER.
OH, BULLSHIT.
YOU CROSSED A LINE.
YOU LET YOUR DICK
DO THE THINKING.
LOOK,
THINGS ARE ABOUT
TO GET REALLY BAD
FOR YOU.
YOU'RE GONNA
BE SUSPENDED,
THERE'S GONNA
BE A HEARING,
DON'T MAKE IT
ANY WORSE
THEN IT ALREADY IS.
AS FAR
AS I'M CONCERNED,
I NEVER SAW YOU.
YOU WERE NEVER HERE.
NOW, GO.
OH, YEAH.
THERE'S A BAG OF MONEY
IN THE BEDROOM.
AMONG OTHER THINGS.
Anita: OLIVIA?
HI, ANITA.
HONEY?
Anita: I'M SO SORRY.
[RADIO DISPATCH CHATTER]
APARTMENT'S DOWN THE WAY
ABOUT 2 BLOCKS.
I THINK
IT'S A TAN BUILDING.
A COUPLE OF BLOCKS?
THANKS, PAL.
[KEYS OPENING DOOR]
[KEYS TOSSED
ON COUNTER]
[OPENS BOTTLE]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
YEAH?
DID YOU SLEEP
WITH HER?
OLIVIA--
GRIFF, DON'T LIE
TO ME, PLEASE.
DON'T MAKE IT
ANY WORSE.
YEAH.
YEAH, I SLEPT WITH HER.
I MADE A MISTAKE, OLIVIA.
I MADE--
GOD, I MADE
A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.
AND I'M GONNA
BE PAYING FOR IT
FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
AND I CAN'T EXPLAIN
TO YOU WHY I DID IT.
BUT I KNOW THAT
I DIDN'T DO IT TO HURT YOU.
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
YOU LOVE ME.
I KNOW THAT
BECAUSE THAT'S
WHAT YOU TOLD ME.
RIGHT BEFORE
YOU RAN OUT ON ME!
I DO LOVE YOU, OLIVIA.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT THE WORD MEANS.
OLIVIA--
[DOOR CLOSES]
YOU CHEAT ON ME,
IT'S IN THE NEWSPAPER,
PEOPLE AT WORK
HAVE TO TELL ME ABOUT IT?
HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?
PLEASE, JUST DON'T
SAY ANYTHING ELSE,
I CAN'T STAND IT!
[RING]
YEAH?
Harlan: SHE WAS
VERY BEAUTIFUL, WASN'T SHE?
YOU JUST HAD TO FUCK HER.
WHO THE HELL
IS THIS?
YEAH, YOU FUCKED HER,
AND THEN YOU MURDERED HER.
YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE DONE THAT TO ME.
COP, YOU'LL
LIVE TO REGRET IT.
HER BLOOD
IS ON YOUR HANDS.
HEY, SAVE YOUR BREATH.
YOU'LL NEED IT.
THIS IS BETWEEN
YOU AND ME NOW.
HEY, I'M RIGHT HERE.
COME AND GET ME.
OH, I'LL GET YOU.
BUT IN MY OWN TIME.
AND IN MY OWN WAY.
[TELEPHONE BEEPS OFF]
[ENGINE WON'T START]
OH, COME ON.
DON'T DO THIS TO ME.
OHH.
[SIGHS]
[KNOCKS]
AAH! OH.
NEED SOME HELP?
MY CAR WON'T START.
OH. WELL, LET ME
SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
POP THE HOOD.
OK, TRY IT NOW.
[ENGINE STARTS]
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
NO PROBLEM.
IT WAS JUST
A LOOSE COIL WIRE.
UHH. I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT CARS.
WELL, IT'S A GOOD THING
I WAS USING A PAY PHONE
OVER THERE.
SO WERE YOU JUST
AT THE RESTAURANT?
YEAH, I WORK THERE.
HOW'S THE FOOD?
IT'S GOOD
OLD-FASHIONED
HOME COOKING.
WELL, NOT SO GOOD
IF YOU'RE ON A DIET.
OH, I SURE MISS
HOME COOKING.
OH, MY NAME'S JACK,
BY THE WAY.
OLIVIA.
OLIVIA? BEAUTIFUL NAME.
THANK YOU.
SO, MAYBE I'LL STOP BY
FOR LUNCH SOMETIME.
FREE PIE
ON THE HOUSE.
BEST IN TOWN.
THEN I'LL
DEFINITELY STOP IN.
THE NAME ON HER I.D.
IS LAURA TALBOT,
BUT YOU CAN
FORGET ABOUT IT.
WE FOUND
4 OTHER FAKE I.D.s,
EACH ONE OF 'EM
DIFFERENT LAST NAMES.
I TOLD YOU SHE USED
THE NAME "NIKKI,"
AT LEAST WITH ME.
WHAT ABOUT THE PRINT
YOU PULLED
FROM THE HOUSE
IN TOPANGA?
AH, 2 SETS,
ONE HERS.
I RAN 'EM
THROUGH OUR SYSTEM,
WESTERN, FEDERAL,
NOTHING SO FAR.
Griff: WHAT ABOUT THIS?
OH, FOUND THAT
IN HER PURSE.
DID YOU CHECK
THE PASSENGER LIST?
MM-HMM.
EVERYONE CHECKS OUT,
EXCEPT FOR ONE
MALE PASSENGER.
NO ONE CAN FIND HIM.
ONE GUESS WHO THAT IS.
KEPT A PRETTY
LOW PROFILE.
NOBODY EVEN
REMEMBERS HIM.
SHE SAID
HE WAS AWAY ON BUSINESS.
WELL, LET'S HOPE NOT.
[TEA KETTLE BOILS]
GOT A LOT OF HITS
ON HER CELL PHONE.
CHECKED 'EM ALL.
WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING.
A COUPLE OF THEM
DIDN'T ANSWER,
ONE IN SANTA MONICA,
ONE IN YUCAIPA.
I'LL TRY 'EM AGAIN
TOMORROW.
BUT YOU KNOW HOW IT IS,
GRIFF, WITH YOU GONE,
I GOT DOUBLE
THE WORK LOAD.
I MEAN, RUNYON
IS DRAGGING HIS HEELS
ABOUT BRINGING
IN SOMEONE NEW.
JUST GONNA
HAVE TO GET TO IT
WHEN I GET TO IT.
YEAH.
GOOD MORNING.
IT'S GRIFF McCLEARY,
HOW YOU DOING, MY FRIEND?
Man: OK, GRIFF.
LISTEN, I NEED YOUR HELP.
I'M WORKING ON A HOMICIDE,
I GOT A NUMBER UP
IN YUCAIPA BUT NO ADDRESS.
CAN YOU GET THAT FOR ME?
Man: NO PROBLEM.
[DOGS BARKING]
[DOORBELL BUZZES]
"MAMA, I'M SORRY
FOR EVERYTHING.
"FORGIVE ME FOR MY SINS.
YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT HARLAN.
I'LL FIND A WAY
TO LEAVE HIM, I PROMISE."
HARLAN.
[DIALS]
Operator: 9-1-1.
YEAH. A WOMAN'S
BEEN MURDERED.
44 BIRCH LANE.
EXCUSE ME, SIR,
COULD I PLEASE
HAVE YOUR NAME?
SIR?
[HANGS UP]
[SIGHS]
HI.
JACK, RIGHT?
MM-HMM.
HI.
HOW'S THAT CAR
OF YOURS RUNNING?
OH, GREAT. IT STARTED
RIGHT UP THIS MORNING.
THANK YOU.
OH, TERRIFIC.
WELL, I'VE
BEEN THINKING
ABOUT THAT PIE.
DOES THE OFFER
STILL STAND?
YOU BET.
LET ME GET YOU SEATED.
GREAT.
SO WHAT'S THE BEST
PIE ON THE MENU?
OH, CHOCOLATE.
UH-OH.
YOU GOT MY NUMBER.
HAVE A SEAT.
LOVELY.
I'LL GO GET
YOUR WAITRESS.
THANK YOU.
HOLD ON A SECOND.
UM, TO BE HONEST,
I DIDN'T COME HERE
JUST TO EAT.
HOW DO I PUT THIS?
OLIVIA, I WAS HOPING
MAYBE YOU'D COME OUT
TO DINNER WITH ME
SOMETIME?
OH. I--
NOTHING FANCY.
JUST A BITE TO EAT.
THAT'S VERY KIND OF YOU,
BUT I REALLY CAN'T.
OF COURSE,
I UNDERSTAND.
YOU DON'T
HAVE TO EXPLAIN.
I MEAN, WE JUST MET.
YOU DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT ME.
IT'S NOT THAT.
I'M MARRIED.
OH! I DIDN'T
REALIZE IT.
I DIDN'T NOTICE
A RING.
WELL, UM, WE'RE
SORT OF SEPARATED.
BUT I'M NOT DATING.
IS HE?
I'M SORRY.
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY
NONE OF MY BUSINESS.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
ENJOY YOUR PIE.
OLIVIA?
PLEASE, LET ME
CLARIFY SOMETHING.
I THINK I'VE GIVEN YOU
THE WRONG IMPRESSION.
I--I WASN'T
ANGLING FOR A DATE.
REALLY?
DINNER'S NOT A DATE?
WELL IT CAN BE, SURE.
BUT IN THIS CASE,
DINNER SIMPLY MEANS
GOOD CONVERSATION
AND GOOD FOOD.
LOOK, JACK, YOU'RE
A REALLY SWEET GUY,
AND I VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE
YOU HELPING ME
YESTERDAY,
BUT I'M GONNA
HAVE TO SAY NO.
OF COURSE, I UNDERSTAND.
BUT SHOULD
YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND,
YOU KNOW WHERE I'M SEATED.
I'LL BE OVER THERE
DROWNING MY DISAPPOINTMENT
IN CHOCOLATE PIE.
JACK.
MAYBE THERE'S NO HARM
IN ONE DINNER.
NO. NONE AT ALL.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
YEAH?
OH, GOOD.
I WAS AFRAID
I'D MISSED YOU.
SAD ABOUT DOLLY DIXON,
WASN'T IT?
SHOT HERSELF IN THE HEAD.
HOW MANY MORE
HAVE TO DIE?
JUST ONE.
WELL,
DON'T COUNT ON IT,
HARLAN.
WELL, YOU KNOW
MY FIRST NAME.
IT'S JUST A MATTER
OF TIME NOW.
TOO BAD. FOR YOU, GRIFF.
TIME IS
WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE.
YOU'RE A SICK
SON OF A BITCH,
YOU KNOW THAT?
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
IRENE.
GOOD TO SEE YOU
AGAIN, GRIFF.
THANK YOU FOR COMING
ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE.
ALWAYS GLAD TO HELP.
Harlan: SAD ABOUT
DOLLY DIXON, WASN'T IT?
SHOT HERSELF IN THE HEAD.
Griff: HOW MANY MORE
HAVE TO DIE?
Harlan: JUST ONE.
Griff: WELL,
DON'T COUNT ON IT,
HARLAN.
Harlan: WELL,
YOU KNOW MY FIRST NAME.
Griff:
IT'S JUST A MATTER
OF TIME NOW.
Harlan: TOO BAD.
FOR YOU, GRIFF.
TIME IS
WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE.
Griff: YOU'RE A SICK
SON OF A BITCH,
YOU KNOW THAT?
CAN YOU MAKE IT OUT?
PLAY THAT LAST BIT AGAIN.
[TAPE REWINDS]
Harlan: WELL,
YOU KNOW MY FIRST NAME.
Griff: IT'S JUST
A MATTER OF TIME
NOW.
Harlan: TOO BAD.
FOR YOU, GRIFF.
YES.
TIME IS WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE.
YEAH, OF COURSE.
WHERE IS HE FROM?
IT'S A NOT A DISTINCT
YANKEE ACCENT,
BUT IT'S DEFINITELY
AN EAST COAST-WASPY,
BLUE-BLOOD VOCAL PATTERN.
UM...SOUTHERN.
NEW ENGLAND
WOULD BE MY BEST GUESS.
CONNECTICUT.
OR RHODE ISLAND.
I'D START THERE.
YOU'RE THE BEST,
IRENE.
Griff: DETECTIVE PRICE,
THIS IS DETECTIVE
McCLEARY, L.A.P.D.
I'M TRYING TO TRACK DOWN
THE IDENTITY OF A SUSPECT.
FIRST NAME, HARLAN.
DON'T HAVE A LAST NAME.
LET ME GIVE YOU THE SKINNY
ON HOW THIS GUY OPERATES.
Man: HOMICIDE,
WYMAN SPEAKING.
DETECTIVE WYMAN, THIS IS
DETECTIVE McCLEARY, L.A.P.D.
Wyman: WHY DON'T YOU
CHECK WITH HAMDEN?
SEE IF THEY KNOW
ANYTHING?
YEAH, GOOD AFTERNOON,
DETECTIVE FARRAR.
THIS IS DETECTIVE
McCLEARY, L.A.P.D.
Farrar: YEAH, HIS NAME
IS HARLAN MOSS.
LAST NAME, MOSS.
M-O-S-S. GOT IT.
HEY, GOOD LUCK.
THANKS. LISTEN, IF YOU
CAN FAX THIS INFORMATION
TO MY PARTNER DETECTIVE IVES
AT THE NUMBER I GAVE YOU,
I'D APPRECIATE IT.
GLAD TO DO IT,
MY FRIEND.
OH, YEAH.
AND I HOPE THIS HAS BEEN
A BIG HELP TO YOU.
YES, SIR, YOU HAVE
BEEN MORE THAN HELPFUL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[HANGS UP PHONE]
GOT YOU,
YOU SON OF A BITCH.
HEY YA, SLINKY, I GOT YOU
A DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER.
YOU KNOW,
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHY I'M DOING THIS
ANYMORE.
I MEAN,
YOU DON'T LISTEN
TO A WORD I SAY.
YOU THINK
IT'S PERFECTLY OK
TO GO RUNNING OFF
TO YUCAIPA
BEHIND MY BACK.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED
IF SOMEBODY SAW YOU
IN THAT HOUSE?
YOU WERE
JUST DAMN LUCKY.
I'M TELLING YOU
I AM THIS CLOSE
TO JUST GIVING UP
ON YOU ENTIRELY.
YOU KNOW WHAT, CASSIE?
GIVE IT A REST, HUH?
WE'VE ALREADY
HAD THIS CONVERSATION.
WHAT THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO
IF YOU WERE IN MY SHOES, HUH?
HERE'S THE SKINNY
ON THAT HARLAN MOSS
CHARACTER.
YOU STILL
INTERESTED?
HE WAS THE SOLE HEIR
TO A REAL ESTATE FORTUNE.
AT LEAST, THAT'S WHAT
HE THOUGHT, ANYWAY.
5 YEARS AGO,
HIS MOTHER AND FATHER
WERE FOUND DEAD
IN THEIR BEDROOM,
VICTIMS OF AN APPARENT
MURDER-SUICIDE.
MOM HAD A HOLE
IN HER CHEST,
DAD HAD A BULLET
IN HIS HEAD.
AND A STOLEN GUN
IN HIS HAND?
STAMFORD P.D.
SMELLED A RAT
FROM THE GET-GO.
HARLAN WAS EVERYBODY'S
PRIME SUSPECT.
I MEAN, HE CERTAINLY
HAD THE PERFECT MOTIVE.
WITH HIS PARENTS GONE,
ALL THE MONEY WAS HIS.
BUT CHARGES
WERE NEVER FILED.
THE EVIDENCE
JUST WASN'T THERE.
THEY COULDN'T
MAKE A CASE.
AFTER THAT,
HIS LUCK RAN OUT.
THE INHERITANCE
DIDN'T EVEN COVER
HIS PARENTS' DEBTS.
HE TOOK OFF
FOR PARTS UNKNOWN,
HASN'T BEEN
HEARD FROM SINCE.
THERE WAS A FAIR AMOUNT
OF NEWS COVERAGE
AT THE TIME.
STAMFORD P.D. IS
SEARCHING THE ARCHIVES
TO SEND US A PHOTO.
WHAT'S HE
WAITING FOR, CASS?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I MEAN,
IF HE WANTED TO KILL ME,
THE GUY'S HAD
PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY.
HELL, I DON'T EVEN
KNOW WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.
HE COULD HAVE WALKED UP
TO ME ON THAT STREET,
PUMPED A ROUND IN MY GUT,
AND I'D HAVE NEVER
SEEN IT COMING.
HE'S LETTING YOU
SWEAT A LITTLE FIRST,
GETTING HIS ROCKS OFF.
NAH.
HE'S SMARTER THAN THAT.
THE GUY'S A MAGGOT,
BUT HE'S NOT A FOOL.
I'M MISSING SOMETHING.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
HI.
HI.
OH...
YOU LOOK VERY NICE.
OH, THANK YOU.
THOUGHT THIS
WASN'T A DATE.
IT'S NOT.
FOR A DATE, I BRING ROSES.
HA HA HA HA.
THANK YOU.
SURE.
UM, DO YOU WANT
TO COME IN?
I'LL PUT THESE
IN WATER.
SO, DO YOU KNOW
WHERE YOU'D LIKE TO EAT?
WELL, I'VE BEEN GIVING
THIS DINNER SOME THOUGHT.
HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT ITALIAN?
THAT SOUNDS GREAT.
GOOD. 'CAUSE
I'VE DISCOVERED
THIS REALLY NICE
LITTLE SPOT
IN THE WEST VALLEY.
TERRIFIC.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
UH, EXCUSE ME.
THAT'S KIND OF ODD.
HOLD ON.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I JUST GOT THIS LETTER
FROM YOUR DIVORCE ATTORNEY,
THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING HERE.
LOOK, GRIFF, NOT NOW.
WHOSE CAR IS OUT HERE?
WHAT, DO YOU GOT A DATE?
THAT'S NONE
OF YOUR BUSINESS.
AW, THAT'S GREAT,
OLIVIA.
WHY NOT LET ME
MEET THIS GUY?
NO, GRIFF.
RIGHT.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT?
I WOULDN'T WANT TO
SPOIL YOUR BIG NIGHT
WITH SOMETHING
AS INCONSEQUENTIAL AS THIS.
IF YOU THINK
THIS IS EASY FOR ME,
THEN YOU ARE WRONG.
GOD DAMN IT, OLIVIA.
ARE YOU REALLY GONNA
GO THROUGH WITH THIS?
I DIDN'T HAVE
ANY OTHER CHOICE.
I MESSED UP, OLIVIA. I...
I LOST MY JOB,
AND NOW
I'M LOSING YOU, AND...
I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT.
I'LL GO ANYWHERE YOU WANT.
I'LL--JUST...
JUST GIVE ME
ANOTHER CHANCE.
YOU JUST WANT ME
TO CLOSE MY EYES
AND PRETEND THAT
NOTHING EVER HAPPENED?
I CAN'T DO THAT.
YOU LOOK ME IN THE EYES
RIGHT NOW AND YOU TELL ME
YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE,
AND I'LL WALK OUT OF HERE.
I'M NOT GONNA
PLAY THAT GAME, GRIFF.
WE'RE STILL MARRIED.
YOU TELL YOUR DATE THAT.
THAT WAS MY HUSBAND.
I'M SORRY.
IS EVERYTHING OK?
YEAH. I KNEW
THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN.
I JUST DIDN'T THINK
THAT IT WAS GONNA
HAPPEN TONIGHT.
I DON'T REALLY FEEL
LIKE GOING OUT.
MAYBE WE COULD
JUST STAY HERE
AND I COULD MAKE
SANDWICHES AND COFFEE.
SURE. SHOW ME
TO THE KNIFE.
I'LL SLICE
THE BREAD.
I WAS A WIFE AND MOTHER,
AND I THOUGHT
THAT'S THE WAY
IT WAS ALWAYS GONNA BE.
I WASN'T
PREPARED FOR THIS.
I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE IF I WERE
A RELIGIOUS PERSON,
I'D BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND
WHY THESE THINGS HAPPEN
THE WAY THEY DO.
ALL I KNOW
IS THAT LOSING MY SON
THAT WAY JUST...
IT'S LIKE A NIGHTMARE
THAT JUST NEVER
SEEMS TO END.
WELL, THEY SAY
TIME SUPPOSEDLY
HEALS ALL WOUNDS.
SO, TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN MARRIED?
YEAH. I HAVE.
STRANGELY ENOUGH,
SHE PASSED AWAY
QUITE RECENTLY.
OH, I AM SO SORRY.
IT HAPPENED, AND...
I WAS POWERLESS TO DO
ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
SHE MEANT
THE WHOLE WORLD TO ME.
AND I CAN DEFINITELY
SAY THAT I LOVED HER.
WITH ALL MY HEART.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
YEAH, WELL, OLIVIA,
THANK YOU.
I MUST SAY,
THAT WAS ABOUT
AS PLEASANT
AN EVENING
AS I'VE HAD IN A--
YOU TELL HIM WE'RE
STILL MARRIED, OLIVIA?
GRIFF!
HMM?
PLEASE, NO.
WHAT ARE YOU,
A TOUGH GUY? HUH?
GRIFF, STOP IT!
SHE'S MY WIFE!
ARE YOU HURT?
WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING?
HOW DARE YOU COME HERE?!
GET OUT!
GET OUT OF HERE!
I'M SO SORRY.
IT'S OK.
THAT WAS MY HUSBAND.
I GUESSED.
GOD DAMN IT.
GOD DAMN IT!
WHAT THE HELL
IS HAPPENING TO ME?
GOD.
I DON'T KNOW
WHO I AM ANYMORE, CASS.
I'M HURTIN' LIKE HELL.
YOU KNOW, I NEVER
SAW MY OLD MAN CRY...
NOT EVEN
WHEN MY MOTHER DIED.
I REMEMBER ONE TIME
WHEN I WAS...
12, 13 YEARS OLD
AND HE CAUGHT ME CRYING.
AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT I WAS CRYING ABOUT.
BUT HE JUST--
HE JUST SHUT ME DOWN.
I MEAN, HE JUST CAME
AND HE JUST SLAPPED
THE SNOT OUT OF ME.
TOLD ME I WAS WEAK.
"BOTTLE IT UP.
KEEP IT INSIDE."
NEVER CRIED AFTER THAT.
WHEN KEVIN DIED...
I LET OLIVIA MOURN ALONE.
BECAUSE I COULDN'T.
I JUST, I...
I COULDN'T.
I KNEW IF I STARTED,
I'D NEVER STOP.
AND THEN
I PUNISHED HER FOR IT.
I JUST WANT
TO TAKE IT ALL BACK.
MAKE THINGS RIGHT
BETWEEN US.
I'M NOT
THE ONE YOU SHOULD BE
TELLING THIS TO, GRIFF.
I GOTTA GO.
YOU GONNA
BE ALL RIGHT?
YEAH.
YEAH, I'M JUST GONNA
HANG OUT FOR A WHILE.
WHAT'S THIS?
TAKE A LOOK AT THAT
WHEN YOU HAVE
A CHANCE, OK?
HI, JACK.
HOW ARE YOU?
COULDN'T BE BETTER.
HERE FOR SOME MORE
CHOCOLATE PIE?
NO. I'M HERE
TO KIDNAP YOU.
WHAT?
I'M PLAYING HOOKY
FROM WORK.
I'D LOVE IT
IF YOU COULD JOIN ME.
I'M FIXING TO TAKE
A WALK ON THE BEACH,
MAYBE A MOVIE
AFTERWARDS.
FORGET LAST NIGHT
EVER EVEN HAPPENED.
HOW'S THAT SOUND?
WELL, I'M NOT
EXACTLY DRESSED
FOR A WALK
ON THE BEACH.
THEN WE'LL STOP
BY YOUR HOUSE FIRST,
SO YOU CAN CHANGE.
NO, I CAN'T GO NOW.
I MEAN, I STILL HAVE,
LIKE, HALF AN HOUR
LEFT ON MY SHIFT.
COME ON.
WE BOTH KNOW YOU DESERVE
SOME TIME OFF.
OLIVIA, LIVE A LITTLE.
I GUESS I COULD
ASK ANITA TO LET ME OFF
A LITTLE EARLY.
WHY DON'T YOU DO THAT?
OLIVIA, LISTEN TO ME.
I JUST TALKED TO ANITA.
SHE SAID YOU LEFT WORK EARLY.
HONEY, I'VE BEEN TRACKING
A KILLER FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW.
I GOT A POSITIVE I.D.
ON HIM.
HE'S THE GUY
WHO WAS AT THE HOUSE
LAST NIGHT, OLIVIA.
HE'S USING YOU.
HE'S USING YOU
TO GET BACK AT ME.
IF YOU GET THERE
BEFORE I DO,
YOU SIT TIGHT.
YOU HEAR ME?
YOU SIT TIGHT,
AND I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
GOOD. SO,
I'LL WAIT OUT HERE.
I DON'T WANT
TO CROWD YOU.
OH, YOU'RE
NOT CROWDING ME.
I'LL JUST BE A MINUTE.
COME ON IN.
YOU SURE? OK.
YOU KNOW,
OLIVIA, I WANTED
TO TELL YOU, UH...
LAST NIGHT
MEANT A LOT TO ME.
YOU KNOW,
DESPITE EVERYTHING
THAT HAPPENED,
I HAD A GREAT TIME.
UH, CAN I OFFER YOU
SOMETHING TO DRINK?
OH, SURE.
ICE TEA OK?
GREAT.
OH, I HAVE A MESSAGE.
Answering machine:
THURSDAY, 2:52 P.M.
Griff:
OLIVIA, LISTEN TO ME.
I JUST TALKED
TO ANITA. SHE SAID
YOU LEFT WORK EARLY.
HONEY, I'VE BEEN
TRACKING A KILLER
FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW.
I GOT A POSITIVE
I.D. ON HIM.
HE'S THE GUY
WHO WAS AT THE HOUSE
LAST NIGHT, OLIVIA.
HE'S USING YOU.
HE'S USING YOU
TO GET BACK AT ME.
IF YOU GET THERE
BEFORE I DO,
YOU SIT TIGHT,
YOU HEAR ME?
YOU SIT TIGHT,
AND I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
Machine: [BEEPS]
END OF MESSAGES.
GOD.
HE'S A DESPERATE MAN,
ISN'T HE?
I GUESS HE'LL RESORT
TO ANYTHING TO GET YOU BACK.
CAN'T SAY I BLAME HIM.
BUT, I MEAN,
TRYING TO SCARE YOU
WITH ALL THOSE TERRIBLE LIES
HE JUST SAID ABOUT ME?
I NEVER THOUGHT
HE'D RESORT TO ANYTHING
SO DESPICABLE.
GOD KNOWS WHAT
HE'S CAPABLE OF, OLIVIA.
I'M REALLY
CONCERNED FOR YOU.
WHAT? YOU DON'T
BELIEVE HIM, DO YOU?
OHH...AAH!
MMM...MMM...MMM...
[TELEPHONE RINGS
ON OTHER END]
Olivia: HI, YOU'VE REACHED
THE McCLEARY RESIDENCE.
PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE
AFTER THE BEEP. [BEEP]
SHIT.
HUHH!
MMM...MMM...
MMM...MMM...
TOSS THE GUN.
[WHIMPERS]
I SAID TOSS IT, OR
I'LL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF
RIGHT HERE AND NOW.
BACK UP.
LET OLIVIA GO.
THIS IS BETWEEN YOU AND ME.
YOU'RE WRONG.
THIS IS BETWEEN
ME AND YOU...
AND NIKKI.
YOU SEE, COP,
YOU DESTROYED
THE ONLY THING
I EVER REALLY LOVED.
MY FIRST IMPULSE WAS
TO KILL YOU STONE DEAD.
BUT THEN I REALIZED
YOU HAD TO LIVE...
SO YOU COULD FEEL
YOUR SHARE OF THE PAIN.
KNOWING YOU'D NEVER
SEE YOUR WOMAN AGAIN,
EVER FEEL THE WARMTH
OF HER SOFT SKIN.
[SHUDDERS]
OR KISS THAT SWEET,
SWEET SPOT AT THE BACK
OF HER NECK.
AND THE AGONY
OF KNOWING
THAT ANOTHER MAN
SEDUCED HER,
HAD HER, AND KILLED HER.
JUST LIKE
YOU DID MY NIKKI.
YOU WANNA KNOW
WHO KILLED YOUR WIFE?
THEN LOOK
IN THE MIRROR, PAL.
BECAUSE YOU USED HER.
YOU USED HER,
AND YOU TORE HER UP,
AND SHE COULDN'T
LIVE WITH THE GUILT.
AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
WHAT DO YOU
KNOW ABOUT IT?
LOOK IN YOUR OWN
DAMN MIRROR.
SEE WHAT A FUCKED-UP
MESS YOU'VE BECOME.
YOU'LL SEE
THAT YOUR MARRIAGE
IS AS DEAD AS YOUR KID.
FUCK YOU.
YOU SEE, IF ALL HAD
GONE ACCORDING TO PLAN,
I'D HAVE HAD MY WAY
WITH HER TONIGHT...
AND THEN,
WITH GREAT SATISFACTION,
PUT A BULLET QUIETLY
THROUGH HER HEART,
SO YOU COULD
FIND HER TOMORROW.
BUT NOW THINGS
JUST GOT BETTER.
BECAUSE YOU GET
TO SEE HER DIE.
AND I GET
TO LEAVE YOU HERE
WITH A BULLET
IN EACH LEG
TO THINK
ABOUT THE HORROR
YOUR LIFE HAS BECOME.
FUNNY HOW--UHH!
YOU SON OF A BITCH.
MMM...MMM...
YOU ALL RIGHT?
DID HE HURT YOU?
NO.
OHH! UHH!
LISTEN TO ME.
YOU TAKE THIS,
AND YOU STAY
IN THIS ROOM.
YOU DON'T MOVE,
NO MATTER WHAT YOU HEAR.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
OK.
ALL RIGHT.
OH, SH...
[OLIVIA SOBS]
YOU OK?
DON'T MOVE.
OH, OLIVIA.
I'M DISAPPOINTED.
AFTER ALL WE SHARED
LAST NIGHT?
WHY DON'T YOU TELL HIM
HOW WE HELD HANDS
AND POURED OUT OUR HEARTS
TO ONE ANOTHER?
THAT'S NOT TRUE!
ENOUGH.
KILL ME.
KILL ME LIKE
YOU KILLED NIKKI.
LIKE YOU KILLED
YOUR OWN SON.
COME ON. YOU KNOW
YOU WANNA DO IT.
YOU HATE ME.
I'M TAKING YOU IN,
HARLAN.
I DON'T THINK SO.
UH-UH.
I DON'T THINK YOU CAN
GET THROUGH ANOTHER DAY
WITH ME AROUND--
A LIVING TESTIMONY
TO YOUR SIN.
AHH!
Harlan: [LAUGHS]
OH, COME ON.
COME ON, YOU CAN
DO BETTER THAN THAT.
YOU'RE A KILLER,
LIKE ME.
DON'T YOU DO IT.
I'LL SEE YOU...
I'LL SEE YOU
IN HELL, BROTHER.
CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
CONCORDE-NEW HORIZONS
CORPORATION
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!
Second Boy:
YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME.
GOTCHA!
NO WAY.
First Boy:
YOU CAN'T HURT ME,
I'M WEARING MY VEST.
I'VE GOT
SPECIAL BULLETS.
HEY! I WANT TO SHOW YOU
SOMETHING. WAIT RIGHT HERE!
HEY, YOU NEED
ANY HELP?
HI. I THOUGHT YOU
WERE ON THE COMPUTER.
NO, JUST
GOOFING AROUND.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU COULD HELP ME
CUT SOME CARROTS.
I FORGOT
TO ASK YOU--
HMM?
HAVE YOU TALKED
TO LIEUTENANT RUNYON
ABOUT NOVEMBER?
YEAH. HE SAID IT'S TOO EARLY
TO MAKE ANY KIND OF COMMITMENT.
TOO MANY HIGH-PRIORITY CASES,
NOT ENOUGH MAN-POWER,
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
Woman: HERE,
LET ME HAVE THOSE.
Man: MMM.
SMELLS GOOD!
HOW MUCH LONGER?
WHAT IS IT?
IT'S A SECRET.
SO YOU STILL WANT TO
GO TO THE GRAND CANYON?
YEAH, WE COULD
START THERE.
START THERE?
WHAT, ARE WE
GONNA TAKE A TOUR
OF THE WESTERN
UNITED STATES?
THIS IS THE GUN DAD USES
TO CATCH REAL CROOKS.
YOU'RE GONNA
GET IN TROUBLE.
OH! HOT! HOT!
BUT IT'S GOT THOSE
LITTLE ONIONS I LIKE.
TASTE GOOD?
MM-HMM. MAYBE
A LITTLE SALT.
DAD SAYS I'M GONNA BE
A POLICEMAN ONE DAY,
JUST LIKE HIM.
IS IT LOADED?
NAH. DON'T THINK SO.
YOU KNOW, TAKE THE BULLETS
OUT AT THE POLICE STATION.
SEE? IT DOESN'T WORK.
DO YOU THINK JEFFREY
WANTS TO STAY FOR DINNER?
I DON'T KNOW.
I'LL ASK HIM.
THEY'RE OUT
THERE PLAYING.
YEAH.
I'LL CALL HIS MOM.
WHAT'S THIS DO?
KEVIN!
[GUNSHOT]
NO!
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
YEAH.
Man: WE'VE GOT
A DOUBLE HOMICIDE
AT 24th AND GRAMERCY.
SORRY TO WAKE YOU
LIKE THIS.
YEAH. GIVE ME 10 MINUTES
TO GET DRESSED.
Officer: MA'AM, I KNOW
THIS IS VERY TRAUMATIC,
BUT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW
OUR STANDARD PROCEDURES.
CASS.
MURDER-SUICIDE.
CHEERY WAY TO START
THE DAY, HUH?
YEP.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE
YOU CAN TELL ME ABOUT
YOUR RELATIONSHIP?
WERE THEY
HAVING ANY KIND OF
FINANCIAL PROBLEMS?
THEY GOT NAMES?
WILLIAM AND
PRISCILLA VACCARO.
WHAT ABOUT THE
WATERWORKS OUTSIDE?
FEMALE VICTIM'S SISTER
DISCOVERED THE BODIES.
M.E. AND FORENSICS
SHOULD BE HERE ANY MINUTE.
I HATE WORKING
THESE SPOUSAL HOMICIDES.
ANOTHER FIGHT
WITH YOUR EX, HUH?
THAT HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH IT.
JUST DEPRESSES ME THAT
THOSE 2 PEOPLE IN THERE
STOOD BEFORE GOD
AND PROMISED TO LOVE
EACH OTHER FOREVER.
DON'T TALK TO ME
ABOUT GOD.
THIS SHIT
WOULDN'T HAPPEN
IF PEOPLE LEARNED
HOW TO CONTROL
THEIR EMOTIONS.
I CAN'T ARGUE
WITH THAT.
SEE YOU LATER.
[CLUNK]
SORRY.
HI.
I CAN'T DO THIS.
I CAN'T DO THIS.
YOU CAN'T
DO WHAT, OLIVIA?
CAN'T MAKE LOVE
TO YOUR OWN HUSBAND?
IF WE HAVE SEX,
EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.
ISN'T THAT
WHAT YOU THINK?
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I THINK.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T
EVEN KNOW WHAT TO
SAY TO YOU ANYMORE.
WHAT IS IT
THAT YOU WANT?
I WANT OUR SON BACK.
WELL, HE'S
NOT COMING BACK.
AND NOTHING YOU SAY
OR DO IS GOING
TO CHANGE THAT.
THE SOONER
YOU REALIZE THAT,
THE SOONER
YOU CAN GET ON
WITH YOUR OWN LIFE.
IT'S BEEN A YEAR.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
AND IN ALL THAT TIME,
YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
TO THE CEMETERY, GRIFF.
NOT ONCE.
WHAT ARE YOU
AFRAID OF?
ENOUGH.
GRIFF, WHAT
ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT I
SHOULD'VE DONE
A LONG TIME AGO.
NO! NO! NO!
PUT IT BACK!
OLIVIA! OLIVIA!
NO! OLIVIA! STOP IT!
LET GO OF ME.
GRIFF.
I'M LEAVING.
I DON'T WANT
TO HURT YOU, OLIVIA.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK,
I STILL LOVE YOU VERY MUCH.
IS THAT
WHAT YOU CALL THIS,
AN ACT OF LOVE?
CHRIST. I DON'T
KNOW WHAT IT IS.
I JUST KNOW
WE CAN'T KEEP LIVING
LIKE THIS ANYMORE.
MAYBE YOU
SHOULD LEAVE.
YOU LEFT A LONG
TIME AGO, ANYWAY.
YOU DON'T GET IT,
DO YOU?
THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME.
THIS IS ABOUT YOU.
THINGS ARE NEVER GOING
TO BE RIGHT BETWEEN US
TILL YOU STOP BLAMING ME
FOR KEVIN'S DEATH.
THAT IS NOT TRUE!
OH, IT IS TRUE!
YOU THROW IT
IN MY FACE EVERY DAY
WITH THAT SHRINE IN THERE!
WHAT I BLAME YOU FOR
IS NOT BEING THERE
FOR ME
WHEN I NEEDED YOU
THE MOST.
GRIFF,
AFTER THE ACCIDENT,
IT WAS LIKE
YOU SHUT DOWN.
I MEAN, YOU DIDN'T
FEEL ANYTHING.
YOU WANTED ME
NOT TO FEEL
ANYTHING, TOO.
AND I CAN'T DO THAT.
I'M NOT A MACHINE.
HE WAS MY SON.
I KNOW.
AND I LOVED HIM.
AND I MOURN FOR HIM.
BUT I WILL BE GODDAMNED
IF I'M GOING TO MOURN
MY LIFE AWAY.
WHAT'S WITH YOU TODAY?
YOU LOOK LIKE SHIT.
OH, NO. YOU TELL ME NOW,
OR TELL ME LATER.
YOU'RE A PAIN IN THE ASS,
YOU KNOW THAT?
I KNOW. NOW SING.
I MOVED OUT LAST NIGHT.
NOW, THAT WAS
A DUMBASS THING TO DO.
CHRIST.
THIS FROM A WOMAN
WHO'S STILL PAYING OFF
HER DIVORCE LAWYER.
YES, I LEARN
FROM MY MISTAKES.
CORONER'S REPORT
OF THE VACCAROS.
THANKS, BENNY.
Benny: JUST CAME IN.
WELL?
THE CORONER REPORTS
THAT THE MURDER-SUICIDE
IS PROBABLE CAUSES OF DEATH.
ALL RIGHT. LET'S PUT
THIS PUPPY TO BED.
WELL, I'D BE HAPPY TO,
EXCEPT FOR ONE THING.
WHAT'S THAT?
I'M NOT CONVINCED THAT
IT WAS A MURDER-SUICIDE.
ANOTHER GRIFF HUNCH?
YOU'VE EARNED
THE BENEFIT
OF THE DOUBT.
LET'S HEAR IT.
ALL RIGHT.
PRISCILLA VACCARO
WAS FACING HER ATTACKER
WHEN SHE WAS SHOT.
YEAH. SO?
SO, HOW MANY OF
THESE SPOUSE SHOOTINGS
HAVE WE INVESTIGATED?
ENOUGH.
EXACTLY.
AND HOW MANY TIMES
WAS THE VICTIM SHOT
FROM THE FRONT?
I'D HAVE
TO LOOK IT UP.
DON'T BOTHER.
I ALREADY DID.
ALMOST NEVER.
EITHER THEY'RE SHOT
WHILE THEY WERE ASLEEP,
OR THEY'RE SHOT
FROM BEHIND,
WHICH MAKES
PERFECT SENSE TO ME,
'CAUSE IF YOU'RE
GOING TO DO AWAY
WITH THE PERSON
THAT YOU SHARED YOUR BED,
YOUR LIFE WITH,
THE ODDS ARE
THE LAST THING
YOU WANNA BE DOING
IS LOOKING THEM
IN THE EYE WHEN
YOU PULL THE TRIGGER.
ONLY A COLD-BLOODED KILLER
COULD DO THAT.
I JUST DON'T THINK
WE SHOULD BE TOO QUICK
TO, UH,
CLOSE THE BOOKS ON THIS.
AM I YOUR WHORE, TEDDY?
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
WE HAVE SEX, AND THEN
YOU GO HOME TO YOUR WIFE.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU CALL IT?
YOU KNOW
I DON'T LOVE HER.
THEN WHY
DON'T YOU LEAVE HER?
LOOK, I'VE EXPLAINED
ALL THIS TO YOU.
IF I DID THAT,
IT'D BE
FINANCIAL SUICIDE.
IF YOU LOVE ME, TEDDY,
IF YOU
REALLY LOVE ME...
MY WIFE HAS ME
BY THE BALLS.
IF I DIVORCE HER,
I LOSE EVERYTHING.
WELL...
TEDDY...
THERE IS ANOTHER WAY.
HARLAN?
SO?
NO PROBLEMS.
I LOVE YOU, ANGEL.
I LOVE YOU, TOO.
MMM MMM!
GOOD GIRL.
TELL ME SOMETHING.
WHEN YOU'RE WITH
THOSE OTHER MEN, HMM?
ARE YOU THINKING OF ME?
I COULDN'T DO IT
OTHERWISE.
GOOD.
IT DRIVES ME CRAZY...
THINKING OF YOU
WITH ANOTHER MAN.
PART OF ME WANTS
TO BUST RIGHT IN THERE
AND STRANGLE THEM
ON THE SPOT.
BUT I REMEMBER THAT
IT'S ALL FOR THE GREATER GOOD.
AND THAT WHEN ALL
IS SAID AND DONE...
YOU'RE MINE.
OLIVIA,
YOU HAVE A VISITOR.
HEY.
SORRY TO BARGE IN
ON YOU LIKE THIS.
HOW YOU DOING?
OK.
HANGING IN THERE.
YEAH, ME, TOO.
LISTEN,
THERE'S SOMETHING
I NEED TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT.
YOU GOT A MINUTE?
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S JUST SIT OVER HERE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S, UH,
IT'S BENNY AND JANICE'S
WEDDING ON THE 12th,
AND WE TOLD THEM
WE'D GO, SO, UH,
I WAS WONDERING
WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO
BECAUSE IF YOU
STILL WANT TO GO,
I WAS THINKING THAT
MAYBE WE'D GO TOGETHER
TO AVOID ANY KIND
OF AWKWARDNESS
OR EMBARRASSMENT.
IS THAT WHAT
YOU REALLY CAME HERE
TO TALK TO ME ABOUT?
YEAH. YOU KNOW,
IT JUST CAME UP.
WE GOTTA
LET THEM KNOW.
GRIFF, I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T THINK
IT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA.
WHY?
BECAUSE WE'RE NOT
A COUPLE RIGHT NOW,
AND IF WE START PRETENDING
THAT WE ARE,
IT'LL JUST
CONFUSE THINGS.
LOOK, MAYBE
I SHOULDN'T GO, OK?
IT'LL BE EASIER
ON EVERYBODY.
JEEZ, OLIVIA,
WHERE'S THE HARM
IN US JUST
BEING TOGETHER
FOR A LITTLE BIT?
THE HARM IS
OF US BEING TOGETHER
JUST WHEN IT'S
CONVENIENT FOR YOU.
IT JUST HURTS TOO MUCH
FOR ME TO DO THAT, GRIFF.
YOU KNOW,
THINGS NEED
TO CHANGE FIRST,
AND UNTIL THEY DO...
I'M SORRY.
Woman:
I DON'T KNOW, TEDDY.
MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST
CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF.
NO, I WANT TO GO
THROUGH WITH IT.
I JUST WANT
TO BE SURE
I CAN TRUST
THIS GUY.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW,
HE, UM...
I TOLD YOU
HE'S AN EX-MARINE,
AND HE'S A FRIEND
OF MY COUSIN'S.
OH, HE CAN DO IT.
HE CAN.
LET'S NOT WASTE
ANYBODY'S TIME, HUH?
IS THERE A NIGHT
NEXT WEEK
WHEN YOUR WIFE
IS HOME ALONE?
THURSDAYS, THURSDAY.
OK. HERE'S THE DEAL.
ON THURSDAY NEXT,
I DELIVER YOU
ONE DEAD WIFE.
I'LL MAKE IT LOOK
LIKE SHE WAS KILLED
DURING
A ROBBERY ATTEMPT,
NICE AND NEAT,
NO LOOSE ENDS.
I NEED A RECENT
PHOTO OF HER,
A KEY TO YOUR HOUSE,
THE SECURITY CODE,
AND $250,000.
YOU CAN AFFORD IT.
INSURANCE ALONE
WILL COVER IT
AND MUCH MORE.
IT'S A SWEET DEAL.
YOU GET EVERYTHING
YOU WANT,
A CLEAN BREAK
FROM YOUR WIFE,
MOST OF ALL
THE MONEY
AND THAT
GORGEOUS CREATURE
IN YOUR CAR
OVER THERE.
ARE YOU GONNA
WALK AWAY FROM IT
OVER A FEW
THOUSAND DOLLARS?
BECAUSE I WILL NOT
PASS THIS WAY AGAIN.
ARE YOU IN?
YEAH.
GOOD.
NOW LISTEN
CAREFULLY,
BECAUSE HERE'S
WHAT YOU DO.
I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT
ABOUT THE GUNSHOTS,
BUT I'M NOT SURE
YOU GOT A CASE HERE.
LOOK, I'M TELLING YOU
THINGS DON'T ADD UP.
LIKE THE MURDER WEAPON.
IT'S HOCKED.
THE DEALER WAS SOME PUNK
FROM BOYLE HEIGHTS.
BOYLE HEIGHTS,
SO WHAT?
SO HOW OFTEN DO YOU
SEE AN ARMANI SUIT
SLUMMING DOWN IN BOYLE
HEIGHTS FOR A .38, HUH?
WHO KNOWS WHY ANYBODY
DOES ANYTHING ANYMORE?
WHAT ELSE YOU GOT?
LOOK AT THOSE.
MMM!
GIVES THIS MONTH'S
CENTERFOLD
A RUN FOR HER MONEY.
HMMPH. WHERE'D
YOU GET THESE?
VACARRO'S OFFICE,
UNDER LOCK AND KEY,
APPARENTLY FOR
PRIVATE VIEWING ONLY.
SO HE WAS HAVING
SOME TAIL ON THE SLY.
WHAT'S IT PROVE?
WHAT IT PROVES
IS THAT NO BALDING
MIDDLE-AGED MILLIONAIRE
GETTING FUCKING TAIL
LIKE THAT
IS GONNA PUT A BULLET
IN HIS OWN BRAIN.
AND ON TOP OF THAT,
THE GUY'S GOT A $2-MILLION
LIFE INSURANCE POLICY
ON HIS WIFE.
SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD REASON
TO CAP HER.
YEAH.
AND 2 MILLION REASONS
NOT TO CAP HIMSELF.
YOU HAVEN'T
SAID ANYTHING YET.
THIS IS
GRIFF'S PLAY.
OK. SO WHAT'S
YOUR GUT SAY?
NO WAY THIS IS
MURDER-SUICIDE.
IT'S DOUBLE HOMICIDE.
[WATER RUNNING]
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HOME?
I THOUGHT
YOU WERE IN VEGAS.
MY PLANS CHANGED.
WHY?
THEY JUST CHANGED,
THAT'S ALL.
HEH! YOU'RE
IN A PISSY MOOD.
WHAT HAPPENED?
YOUR LITTLE TRAMP
DIDN'T SHOW UP?
AAH!
SORRY. TOOK LONGER
THAN I EXPECTED.
SHE WASN'T HOME
WHEN I GOT HERE.
I HAD
TO WAIT AROUND.
[SOBBING]
GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?
IT'S BETTER
IF YOU DON'T LOOK.
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?
OHH!
I TOLD YOU
TO WAIT IN THE CAR.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO
BE KEEPING WATCH.
YOU--YOU WERE TAKING
SO LONG, I GOT WORRIED.
[GUNSHOT]
COME ON, LET'S GO.
YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED
TO BE THERE, NIKKI.
YOU SHOULD NEVER
HAVE SEEN THAT.
YEAH, THINK OF
THE MONEY, BABY.
THAT'S FREEDOM.
THAT'S POWER.
OH, THAT'S
THE GOOD LIFE,
AND IT'S ALL
IN THAT BRIEFCASE
JUST WAITING FOR US.
THAT'S GOOD.
YOU THINK
ON THAT, OK?
AND NOTHING ELSE,
ANGEL.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HOMICIDE. McCLEARY.
HEY, POPS, WHAT'S UP?
WHAT?
UH-HUH. GOT IT.
TELL ME SOMETHING.
HOW WAS SHE SHOT?
ALL RIGHT. TALK
TO YOU SOON. BYE.
WE GOT ANOTHER
MURDER-SUICIDE,
THIS ONE UP
IN SANTA BARBARA.
UH, SOME FAT CAT
NAMED TED GALLOWAY
AND HIS WIFE.
HOLY SHIT.
WE'RE
GONNA COORDINATE
OUR INVESTIGATION
WITH THE DEPARTMENT
UP THERE.
OH, BY THE WAY,
GALLOWAY'S WIFE
WAS SHOT
THROUGH THE HEART
FROM THE FRONT.
Harlan:
AND THAT, OF COURSE,
IS A DIRECT FLIGHT?
PALM BEACH.
THAT'S
THE FLIGHT NUMBER?
AND IT IS
AN OPEN RETURN?
THANK YOU. INDEED.
HARLAN,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
YOU SAID WE WERE DRIVING
TO MEXICO.
WE'RE NOT GOING
TO MEXICO,
NOT JUST YET.
WELL, WHERE
ARE WE GOING, THEN?
WELL, I'M GOING
TO PALM BEACH.
AND YOU...
I'M TRUSTING YOU
TO STAY HERE
AND ENJOY YOURSELF
UNTIL I GET BACK.
WHAT ABOUT OUR PLANS?
OUR PLANS
HAVE CHANGED.
ONE MORE
BIG PAY DAY,
AND WE WILL BE
ON EASY STREET.
ONE MORE?
NO, NO, YOU SAID
THIS WAS THE LAST ONE,
RIGHT? YOU PROMISED.
I KNOW, I'M SORRY.
I'LL MAKE IT
UP TO YOU.
PALM BEACH COULD BE
PRIME TERRITORY
FOR US,
BUT I NEED TO
CHECK IT OUT FIRST
BEFORE WE MAKE
THE COMMITMENT.
NO, I CAN'T DO IT.
I CAN'T--I CAN'T DO IT,
I CAN'T DO IT!
AFTER LAST NIGHT,
I CAN'T--
LOOK, ANGEL, THE WAY
YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW
IS TO BE EXPECTED.
THE FIRST TIME
YOU EXPERIENCE
SOMETHING LIKE THAT
IS VERY UPSETTING.
LOOK, CAN'T WE JUST
GO SOMEWHERE NICE?
ANYWHERE, JUST--DOESN'T
HAVE TO BE MEXICO, OK?
SOMEWHERE
WE CAN BE TOGETHER.
IT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE
RIGHT NOW, NIKKI.
OUR FINANCES,
THEY WON'T PERMIT IT.
IT WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE THE LAST TIME.
YOU PROMISED! YOU LIED!
GOD, YOU SAY
YOU LOVE ME.
WHAT, IS THAT--
IS THAT A LIE, TOO?
HUH?
HEY, DO YOU REMEMBER
WHAT IT WAS LIKE
BEFORE YOU MET ME?
YOU WERE SCREWING
YOUR WAY TO OBLIVION.
YOU HAD NOTHING.
YOU WERE
GOING NOWHERE.
BUT NOW YOU'RE
A LADY OF BEAUTY
AND STYLE
AND CLASS.
PEOPLE NOTICE YOU.
WHEN YOU WALK
INTO A ROOM,
HEADS TURN.
I'VE SEEN IT.
YOU BRING
MEN OF MEANS
TO THEIR KNEES.
THEY WORSHIP YOU,
THEY KILL FOR YOU.
THEY EVEN
DIE FOR YOU.
NOW I LOVE YOU
VERY MUCH.
AND IF
YOU DOUBT THAT,
YOU HURT ME.
VERY MUCH.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
[RING]
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HELLO?
IT'S, UH,
IT'S ME, MAMA.
IT--IT'S NIKKI.
MAMA?
WHERE ARE YOU?
I'M REALLY CLOSE BY.
I'M IN L.A.
I WAS THINKING...
MAYBE I COULD COME
UP AND SEE YOU.
DON'T WANT YOU
COMIN' HERE.
PLEASE, MAMA,
THINGS ARE REALLY
DIFFERENT NOW.
UM...
I'VE GOT
LOTS OF MONEY AND--
I DON'T WANT
YOUR DIRTY MONEY.
BUT I COULD
HELP YOU OUT.
DIDN'T CONCERN YOURSELF
WITH ME
WHEN YOU TOOK UP
WITH THE EVIL MAN.
DON'T CONCERN YOURSELF
WITH ME NOW.
HEY.
WHAT'S UP?
WELL, FIRST WE FIND OUT
THE 2 BLONDE HAIRS
ON GALLOWAY'S SHIRT
AREN'T HIS WIFE'S,
AND THEN THIS.
THE GUN WAS STOLEN,
JUST LIKE VACARRO'S.
YEAH,
SOMEBODY BETTER
ALERT THE MEDIA
BECAUSE APPARENTLY
WE GOT AN EPIDEMIC
OF FAT CATS
SNUFFING THEIR WIVES
AND THEN THEMSELVES
WITH STOLEN GUNS.
MURDER-SUICIDE,
MY ASS!
WELL, WELL,
IT'S BEEN A WHILE
SINCE I'VE SEEN YOU
FLASH THOSE PEARLY WHITES.
AND TO THINK,
ALL IT TOOK
WAS A PAIR
OF DOUBLE HOMICIDES.
YEAH, SOMETHING
TO LIVE FOR.
WORK'S ALL I CAN
COUNT ON THESE DAYS.
THE REST OF MY LIFE
IS PRETTY MUCH
FUCKED.
OH, GALLOWAY'S
PHONE RECORDS
SHOWS MULTIPLE CALLS
TO SAME CELL PHONE NUMBER,
INCLUDING 3 TIMES
ON THE DAY HE DIED.
WE TRIED HOOKING UP
WITH THE CELL'S OWNER,
BUT IT SEEMS THE NAME
ON THE CONTRACT IS FAKE,
THE BILLING ADDRESS
IS A P.O. BOX IN VENTURA,
SAME PHONY NAME.
YOU PUT A TRACE
ON THE PHONE?
YEAH, NOT ONLY THAT,
THE PHONE WAS OPERATIVE
WHEN THEY TRIANGULATED.
THEY PINPOINTED
A LOCATION.
IT'S RIGHT
IN OUR BACKYARD.
TOPANGA CANYON.
SOMEONE HAS TO CANVAS.
YEAH, I'LL DO IT.
GOOD.
I'LL BE DAMNED.
THE CENTERFOLD.
[POP MUSIC PLAYING
ON HEADPHONES]
THE HOUSE
IN TOPANGA'S LEASED
TO A JACK DAUBINS.
IT'S AN ALIAS?
YEAH, MOST LIKELY.
LEASING AGENT
NEVER MET HIM,
SAID ALL THE
TRANSACTIONS TOOK PLACE
BY PHONE OR MAIL.
YOU'RE SURE
THIS WOMAN IS HER?
IF IT'S NOT HER,
IT'S HER TWIN SISTER.
OOH,
TWIN CENTERFOLDS.
THERE'S AN IMAGE
GUARANTEED
TO PUT A SMILE
ON YOUR FACE.
WELL, BRING HER IN,
GRILL HER.
I'M NOT SURE
THAT'S A SMART PLAY.
LOOK,
IF SHE IS WORKING
WITH SOMEONE,
WE COULD TIP OFF
HER ACCOMPLICE,
LOSE THEM BOTH.
JUST LET ME DOG HER
FOR A COUPLE DAYS,
SEE WHERE
SHE LEADS US.
DON'T WORRY,
SHE SLIPS UP,
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE
TO CATCH HER.
I BET YOU WILL.
[CLUB MUSIC PLAYING]
HEY, BEAUTIFUL.
NAME'S BRETT.
YOU WANT TO?
NOT INTERESTED.
GOING HOME, BABE?
HEH HEH HEH!
WHAT'S THE MATTER, BITCH?
YOU WON'T EVEN TALK TO ME?
FUCK OFF.
AAH! NO!
DON'T!
DON'T TOUCH ME!
GET OFF OF ME!
HEY, TAKE A HIKE, PAL!
OH, YEAH?
WHO'S GONNA MAKE ME?
I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
ONE MORE CHANCE
TO WALK AWAY,
AND THEN I'M GONNA
BREAK YOUR LEGS.
YOU GOT IT?
YOU OK, MISS?
Y-YEAH, YEAH.
YOU OK TO DRIVE HOME?
I DON'T WANT
TO GO HOME.
UH, YOU GOT
A LITTLE...
SO I GUESS I SHOULD, UM,
THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME.
BUT I DON'T REALLY KNOW
WHY YOU BOTHERED.
WHAT'S THAT
SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
JUST MEANS I SHOULD'VE
LISTENED TO MY MOTHER...
AND NEVER LEFT YUCAIPA.
WHAT?
I LIKE YOUR EYES.
THE EYES ARE
THE WINDOW TO THE SOUL.
I HEARD THAT ON TV.
YEAH, I THINK WE ALL
HEARD THAT ON TV.
SO WHAT DO YOU SEE
IN MY WINDOWS?
A NICE GUY.
YEAH, MAYBE YOU
SHOULD LOOK AGAIN.
NO.
NO, I'VE LOOKED INTO
A LOT OF MEN'S EYES.
I KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT.
AND I DON'T SEE IT
THAT MUCH.
WELL, MAYBE
YOU'RE HANGING OUT
WITH THE WRONG
KIND OF GUYS.
YOU MARRIED?
SO HOW COME YOU'RE
ALL ALONE TONIGHT?
HE'S AWAY ON BUSINESS.
WHAT KIND
OF BUSINESS?
WHY DO YOU ASK
SO MANY QUESTIONS?
JUST MAKING
CONVERSATION.
OK, UM...
YOU MARRIED?
SEPARATED.
HOW COME?
THAT'S A TOUGH ONE.
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
YOU KNOW WHAT,
I DON'T EVEN LIKE
TO THINK ABOUT IT.
DID YOU STOP
LOVING EACH OTHER?
NO.
WELL, WHAT, THEN?
I MEAN, WHAT DID YOU--
DID YOU DO SOMETHING
TO MAKE HER STOP TRUSTING YOU?
YOU KNOW,
WHY DO YOU ASSUME
IT WAS MY FAULT, HUH?
WAS IT?
WELL, NOW YOU'RE ASKING
TOO MANY QUESTIONS.
JUST DRINK
YOUR HOT CHOCOLATE, HUH?
PEOPLE DO
SOME REALLY STUPID THINGS
FOR LOVE, DON'T THEY?
THINGS THEY
HAVE TO LIVE WITH
FOR THE REST
OF THEIR LIVES.
AND SOMETIMES
THAT LIVING GETS A...
A LITTLE TOO HARD.
YEAH.
LISTEN,
IT'S GETTING LATE.
I'M GONNA HEAD OUT.
YOU PULL
YOURSELF TOGETHER.
YOU'RE
GONNA BE FINE.
SEE YOU AROUND,
NIKKI.
WAIT! WAIT.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
HOME.
LOOK, I REALLY DON'T
WANT TO BE ALONE.
TONIGHT.
OK, I CAN'T.
CAN I, UM...
CAN I COME WITH YOU?
NO.
PLEASE.
I DON'T THINK
THAT'D BE A GOOD IDEA.
OK.
I'M SORRY.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW SORRY.
[BABY CRYING]
OK, I FOLLOWED YOU.
DON'T BE MAD.
CAN I COME IN?
PLEASE,
DON'T SEND ME AWAY.
YEAH.
YEAH, COME ON IN.
COME ON IN.
OH, BOY.
I WASN'T REALLY
EXPECTING ANYBODY.
CAN I GET YOU
SOMETHING?
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
I'M A COP.
THOSE PICTURES
WERE TAKEN
BY WILLIAM VACCARO.
WHAT? YOU MEAN
ALL THIS TIME--
NIKKI, LISTEN TO ME.
GOD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
YOU MEAN YOU--YOU--
YOU FUCK ME
AND THEN YOU WANT
TO ARREST ME?
IS THAT HOW YOU WORK?!
WHAT HAPPENED
TONIGHT,
IT SHOULD NEVER
HAVE HAPPENED.
IT WAS WRONG,
I KNOW THAT.
I KNOW, I'M SORRY,
BUT LISTEN,
IF YOU LET ME,
I CAN HELP YOU.
OH, CHRIST! YOU'RE
SUCH A GODDAMNED LIAR!
JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER MAN
I'VE EVER KNOWN!
I AM NOT A LIAR,
AND I'M NOT
GONNA BULLSHIT YOU.
YOU'RE IN
A LOT OF TROUBLE.
4 PEOPLE ARE DEAD,
AND YOU ARE SMACK
IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
NOW, YOU GIVE UP
THE SHOOTER,
I PROMISE YOU
A SQUARE DEAL.
NO.
OH, COME ON, NIKKI.
YOU DIDN'T KILL
THOSE PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW IT,
AND I KNOW IT.
SOMEBODY ELSE
PULLED THE TRIGGER.
WHO WAS IT, HUH?
WAS IT YOUR HUSBAND?
IS HE THE SHOOTER?
WHY SHOULD
I TELL YOU ANYTHING?
BECAUSE
I AM ALL YOU GOT!
BECAUSE THIS THING
IS GONNA EAT YOU
ALIVE.
YOU THINK
YOUR HUSBAND,
HE CARES ABOUT THIS?
YOU THINK
HE REALLY CARES
ABOUT YOU?
SHUT UP, SHUT UP.
DON'T THROW YOUR LIFE
AWAY FOR THIS GUY.
OOH, DON'T YOU COME NEAR ME!
DON'T YOU TOUCH ME!
DON'T YOU
EVER TOUCH ME AGAIN!
EVER! YOU FUCKING PIG!
OH, MY GOD.
YOU'RE ALL THE SAME.
YOU'RE ALL THE SAME.
YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYBODY.
EVERYTHING'S ALL FUCKED UP!
IT'S ALL FUCKED UP!
JUST GET YOU
SOMETHING TO DRINK.
[PANTING]
[GUNSHOT]
Police officer: I WAS FIRST
ON THE SCENE, AND, UH...
HOW YOU DOING?
WHAT THE HELL
WERE YOU THINKING, GRIFF?
I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, YOU'RE IN DEEP,
MY FRIEND.
REAL DEEP.
UNH!
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
GRIFF.
WHAT THE FUCK
ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I'M WAITING
ON OUR BOY.
OUR BOY?
THE KILLER.
MY GOD, GRIFF,
DO YOU REALIZE
WHAT YOU'VE DONE?
MMM, NOT INTERESTED
IN HEARING MY SIDE, HUH?
YOU DON'T HAVE ONE.
OH, YEAH.
THAT'S A NICE WAY
TO STICK UP
FOR YOUR PARTNER.
OH, BULLSHIT.
YOU CROSSED A LINE.
YOU LET YOUR DICK
DO THE THINKING.
LOOK,
THINGS ARE ABOUT
TO GET REALLY BAD
FOR YOU.
YOU'RE GONNA
BE SUSPENDED,
THERE'S GONNA
BE A HEARING,
DON'T MAKE IT
ANY WORSE
THEN IT ALREADY IS.
AS FAR
AS I'M CONCERNED,
I NEVER SAW YOU.
YOU WERE NEVER HERE.
NOW, GO.
OH, YEAH.
THERE'S A BAG OF MONEY
IN THE BEDROOM.
AMONG OTHER THINGS.
Anita: OLIVIA?
HI, ANITA.
HONEY?
Anita: I'M SO SORRY.
[RADIO DISPATCH CHATTER]
APARTMENT'S DOWN THE WAY
ABOUT 2 BLOCKS.
I THINK
IT'S A TAN BUILDING.
A COUPLE OF BLOCKS?
THANKS, PAL.
[KEYS OPENING DOOR]
[KEYS TOSSED
ON COUNTER]
[OPENS BOTTLE]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
YEAH?
DID YOU SLEEP
WITH HER?
OLIVIA--
GRIFF, DON'T LIE
TO ME, PLEASE.
DON'T MAKE IT
ANY WORSE.
YEAH.
YEAH, I SLEPT WITH HER.
I MADE A MISTAKE, OLIVIA.
I MADE--
GOD, I MADE
A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.
AND I'M GONNA
BE PAYING FOR IT
FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
AND I CAN'T EXPLAIN
TO YOU WHY I DID IT.
BUT I KNOW THAT
I DIDN'T DO IT TO HURT YOU.
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
YOU LOVE ME.
I KNOW THAT
BECAUSE THAT'S
WHAT YOU TOLD ME.
RIGHT BEFORE
YOU RAN OUT ON ME!
I DO LOVE YOU, OLIVIA.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT THE WORD MEANS.
OLIVIA--
[DOOR CLOSES]
YOU CHEAT ON ME,
IT'S IN THE NEWSPAPER,
PEOPLE AT WORK
HAVE TO TELL ME ABOUT IT?
HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?
PLEASE, JUST DON'T
SAY ANYTHING ELSE,
I CAN'T STAND IT!
[RING]
YEAH?
Harlan: SHE WAS
VERY BEAUTIFUL, WASN'T SHE?
YOU JUST HAD TO FUCK HER.
WHO THE HELL
IS THIS?
YEAH, YOU FUCKED HER,
AND THEN YOU MURDERED HER.
YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE DONE THAT TO ME.
COP, YOU'LL
LIVE TO REGRET IT.
HER BLOOD
IS ON YOUR HANDS.
HEY, SAVE YOUR BREATH.
YOU'LL NEED IT.
THIS IS BETWEEN
YOU AND ME NOW.
HEY, I'M RIGHT HERE.
COME AND GET ME.
OH, I'LL GET YOU.
BUT IN MY OWN TIME.
AND IN MY OWN WAY.
[TELEPHONE BEEPS OFF]
[ENGINE WON'T START]
OH, COME ON.
DON'T DO THIS TO ME.
OHH.
[SIGHS]
[KNOCKS]
AAH! OH.
NEED SOME HELP?
MY CAR WON'T START.
OH. WELL, LET ME
SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
POP THE HOOD.
OK, TRY IT NOW.
[ENGINE STARTS]
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
NO PROBLEM.
IT WAS JUST
A LOOSE COIL WIRE.
UHH. I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT CARS.
WELL, IT'S A GOOD THING
I WAS USING A PAY PHONE
OVER THERE.
SO WERE YOU JUST
AT THE RESTAURANT?
YEAH, I WORK THERE.
HOW'S THE FOOD?
IT'S GOOD
OLD-FASHIONED
HOME COOKING.
WELL, NOT SO GOOD
IF YOU'RE ON A DIET.
OH, I SURE MISS
HOME COOKING.
OH, MY NAME'S JACK,
BY THE WAY.
OLIVIA.
OLIVIA? BEAUTIFUL NAME.
THANK YOU.
SO, MAYBE I'LL STOP BY
FOR LUNCH SOMETIME.
FREE PIE
ON THE HOUSE.
BEST IN TOWN.
THEN I'LL
DEFINITELY STOP IN.
THE NAME ON HER I.D.
IS LAURA TALBOT,
BUT YOU CAN
FORGET ABOUT IT.
WE FOUND
4 OTHER FAKE I.D.s,
EACH ONE OF 'EM
DIFFERENT LAST NAMES.
I TOLD YOU SHE USED
THE NAME "NIKKI,"
AT LEAST WITH ME.
WHAT ABOUT THE PRINT
YOU PULLED
FROM THE HOUSE
IN TOPANGA?
AH, 2 SETS,
ONE HERS.
I RAN 'EM
THROUGH OUR SYSTEM,
WESTERN, FEDERAL,
NOTHING SO FAR.
Griff: WHAT ABOUT THIS?
OH, FOUND THAT
IN HER PURSE.
DID YOU CHECK
THE PASSENGER LIST?
MM-HMM.
EVERYONE CHECKS OUT,
EXCEPT FOR ONE
MALE PASSENGER.
NO ONE CAN FIND HIM.
ONE GUESS WHO THAT IS.
KEPT A PRETTY
LOW PROFILE.
NOBODY EVEN
REMEMBERS HIM.
SHE SAID
HE WAS AWAY ON BUSINESS.
WELL, LET'S HOPE NOT.
[TEA KETTLE BOILS]
GOT A LOT OF HITS
ON HER CELL PHONE.
CHECKED 'EM ALL.
WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING.
A COUPLE OF THEM
DIDN'T ANSWER,
ONE IN SANTA MONICA,
ONE IN YUCAIPA.
I'LL TRY 'EM AGAIN
TOMORROW.
BUT YOU KNOW HOW IT IS,
GRIFF, WITH YOU GONE,
I GOT DOUBLE
THE WORK LOAD.
I MEAN, RUNYON
IS DRAGGING HIS HEELS
ABOUT BRINGING
IN SOMEONE NEW.
JUST GONNA
HAVE TO GET TO IT
WHEN I GET TO IT.
YEAH.
GOOD MORNING.
IT'S GRIFF McCLEARY,
HOW YOU DOING, MY FRIEND?
Man: OK, GRIFF.
LISTEN, I NEED YOUR HELP.
I'M WORKING ON A HOMICIDE,
I GOT A NUMBER UP
IN YUCAIPA BUT NO ADDRESS.
CAN YOU GET THAT FOR ME?
Man: NO PROBLEM.
[DOGS BARKING]
[DOORBELL BUZZES]
"MAMA, I'M SORRY
FOR EVERYTHING.
"FORGIVE ME FOR MY SINS.
YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT HARLAN.
I'LL FIND A WAY
TO LEAVE HIM, I PROMISE."
HARLAN.
[DIALS]
Operator: 9-1-1.
YEAH. A WOMAN'S
BEEN MURDERED.
44 BIRCH LANE.
EXCUSE ME, SIR,
COULD I PLEASE
HAVE YOUR NAME?
SIR?
[HANGS UP]
[SIGHS]
HI.
JACK, RIGHT?
MM-HMM.
HI.
HOW'S THAT CAR
OF YOURS RUNNING?
OH, GREAT. IT STARTED
RIGHT UP THIS MORNING.
THANK YOU.
OH, TERRIFIC.
WELL, I'VE
BEEN THINKING
ABOUT THAT PIE.
DOES THE OFFER
STILL STAND?
YOU BET.
LET ME GET YOU SEATED.
GREAT.
SO WHAT'S THE BEST
PIE ON THE MENU?
OH, CHOCOLATE.
UH-OH.
YOU GOT MY NUMBER.
HAVE A SEAT.
LOVELY.
I'LL GO GET
YOUR WAITRESS.
THANK YOU.
HOLD ON A SECOND.
UM, TO BE HONEST,
I DIDN'T COME HERE
JUST TO EAT.
HOW DO I PUT THIS?
OLIVIA, I WAS HOPING
MAYBE YOU'D COME OUT
TO DINNER WITH ME
SOMETIME?
OH. I--
NOTHING FANCY.
JUST A BITE TO EAT.
THAT'S VERY KIND OF YOU,
BUT I REALLY CAN'T.
OF COURSE,
I UNDERSTAND.
YOU DON'T
HAVE TO EXPLAIN.
I MEAN, WE JUST MET.
YOU DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT ME.
IT'S NOT THAT.
I'M MARRIED.
OH! I DIDN'T
REALIZE IT.
I DIDN'T NOTICE
A RING.
WELL, UM, WE'RE
SORT OF SEPARATED.
BUT I'M NOT DATING.
IS HE?
I'M SORRY.
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY
NONE OF MY BUSINESS.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
ENJOY YOUR PIE.
OLIVIA?
PLEASE, LET ME
CLARIFY SOMETHING.
I THINK I'VE GIVEN YOU
THE WRONG IMPRESSION.
I--I WASN'T
ANGLING FOR A DATE.
REALLY?
DINNER'S NOT A DATE?
WELL IT CAN BE, SURE.
BUT IN THIS CASE,
DINNER SIMPLY MEANS
GOOD CONVERSATION
AND GOOD FOOD.
LOOK, JACK, YOU'RE
A REALLY SWEET GUY,
AND I VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE
YOU HELPING ME
YESTERDAY,
BUT I'M GONNA
HAVE TO SAY NO.
OF COURSE, I UNDERSTAND.
BUT SHOULD
YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND,
YOU KNOW WHERE I'M SEATED.
I'LL BE OVER THERE
DROWNING MY DISAPPOINTMENT
IN CHOCOLATE PIE.
JACK.
MAYBE THERE'S NO HARM
IN ONE DINNER.
NO. NONE AT ALL.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
YEAH?
OH, GOOD.
I WAS AFRAID
I'D MISSED YOU.
SAD ABOUT DOLLY DIXON,
WASN'T IT?
SHOT HERSELF IN THE HEAD.
HOW MANY MORE
HAVE TO DIE?
JUST ONE.
WELL,
DON'T COUNT ON IT,
HARLAN.
WELL, YOU KNOW
MY FIRST NAME.
IT'S JUST A MATTER
OF TIME NOW.
TOO BAD. FOR YOU, GRIFF.
TIME IS
WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE.
YOU'RE A SICK
SON OF A BITCH,
YOU KNOW THAT?
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
IRENE.
GOOD TO SEE YOU
AGAIN, GRIFF.
THANK YOU FOR COMING
ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE.
ALWAYS GLAD TO HELP.
Harlan: SAD ABOUT
DOLLY DIXON, WASN'T IT?
SHOT HERSELF IN THE HEAD.
Griff: HOW MANY MORE
HAVE TO DIE?
Harlan: JUST ONE.
Griff: WELL,
DON'T COUNT ON IT,
HARLAN.
Harlan: WELL,
YOU KNOW MY FIRST NAME.
Griff:
IT'S JUST A MATTER
OF TIME NOW.
Harlan: TOO BAD.
FOR YOU, GRIFF.
TIME IS
WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE.
Griff: YOU'RE A SICK
SON OF A BITCH,
YOU KNOW THAT?
CAN YOU MAKE IT OUT?
PLAY THAT LAST BIT AGAIN.
[TAPE REWINDS]
Harlan: WELL,
YOU KNOW MY FIRST NAME.
Griff: IT'S JUST
A MATTER OF TIME
NOW.
Harlan: TOO BAD.
FOR YOU, GRIFF.
YES.
TIME IS WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE.
YEAH, OF COURSE.
WHERE IS HE FROM?
IT'S A NOT A DISTINCT
YANKEE ACCENT,
BUT IT'S DEFINITELY
AN EAST COAST-WASPY,
BLUE-BLOOD VOCAL PATTERN.
UM...SOUTHERN.
NEW ENGLAND
WOULD BE MY BEST GUESS.
CONNECTICUT.
OR RHODE ISLAND.
I'D START THERE.
YOU'RE THE BEST,
IRENE.
Griff: DETECTIVE PRICE,
THIS IS DETECTIVE
McCLEARY, L.A.P.D.
I'M TRYING TO TRACK DOWN
THE IDENTITY OF A SUSPECT.
FIRST NAME, HARLAN.
DON'T HAVE A LAST NAME.
LET ME GIVE YOU THE SKINNY
ON HOW THIS GUY OPERATES.
Man: HOMICIDE,
WYMAN SPEAKING.
DETECTIVE WYMAN, THIS IS
DETECTIVE McCLEARY, L.A.P.D.
Wyman: WHY DON'T YOU
CHECK WITH HAMDEN?
SEE IF THEY KNOW
ANYTHING?
YEAH, GOOD AFTERNOON,
DETECTIVE FARRAR.
THIS IS DETECTIVE
McCLEARY, L.A.P.D.
Farrar: YEAH, HIS NAME
IS HARLAN MOSS.
LAST NAME, MOSS.
M-O-S-S. GOT IT.
HEY, GOOD LUCK.
THANKS. LISTEN, IF YOU
CAN FAX THIS INFORMATION
TO MY PARTNER DETECTIVE IVES
AT THE NUMBER I GAVE YOU,
I'D APPRECIATE IT.
GLAD TO DO IT,
MY FRIEND.
OH, YEAH.
AND I HOPE THIS HAS BEEN
A BIG HELP TO YOU.
YES, SIR, YOU HAVE
BEEN MORE THAN HELPFUL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[HANGS UP PHONE]
GOT YOU,
YOU SON OF A BITCH.
HEY YA, SLINKY, I GOT YOU
A DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER.
YOU KNOW,
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHY I'M DOING THIS
ANYMORE.
I MEAN,
YOU DON'T LISTEN
TO A WORD I SAY.
YOU THINK
IT'S PERFECTLY OK
TO GO RUNNING OFF
TO YUCAIPA
BEHIND MY BACK.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED
IF SOMEBODY SAW YOU
IN THAT HOUSE?
YOU WERE
JUST DAMN LUCKY.
I'M TELLING YOU
I AM THIS CLOSE
TO JUST GIVING UP
ON YOU ENTIRELY.
YOU KNOW WHAT, CASSIE?
GIVE IT A REST, HUH?
WE'VE ALREADY
HAD THIS CONVERSATION.
WHAT THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO
IF YOU WERE IN MY SHOES, HUH?
HERE'S THE SKINNY
ON THAT HARLAN MOSS
CHARACTER.
YOU STILL
INTERESTED?
HE WAS THE SOLE HEIR
TO A REAL ESTATE FORTUNE.
AT LEAST, THAT'S WHAT
HE THOUGHT, ANYWAY.
5 YEARS AGO,
HIS MOTHER AND FATHER
WERE FOUND DEAD
IN THEIR BEDROOM,
VICTIMS OF AN APPARENT
MURDER-SUICIDE.
MOM HAD A HOLE
IN HER CHEST,
DAD HAD A BULLET
IN HIS HEAD.
AND A STOLEN GUN
IN HIS HAND?
STAMFORD P.D.
SMELLED A RAT
FROM THE GET-GO.
HARLAN WAS EVERYBODY'S
PRIME SUSPECT.
I MEAN, HE CERTAINLY
HAD THE PERFECT MOTIVE.
WITH HIS PARENTS GONE,
ALL THE MONEY WAS HIS.
BUT CHARGES
WERE NEVER FILED.
THE EVIDENCE
JUST WASN'T THERE.
THEY COULDN'T
MAKE A CASE.
AFTER THAT,
HIS LUCK RAN OUT.
THE INHERITANCE
DIDN'T EVEN COVER
HIS PARENTS' DEBTS.
HE TOOK OFF
FOR PARTS UNKNOWN,
HASN'T BEEN
HEARD FROM SINCE.
THERE WAS A FAIR AMOUNT
OF NEWS COVERAGE
AT THE TIME.
STAMFORD P.D. IS
SEARCHING THE ARCHIVES
TO SEND US A PHOTO.
WHAT'S HE
WAITING FOR, CASS?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I MEAN,
IF HE WANTED TO KILL ME,
THE GUY'S HAD
PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY.
HELL, I DON'T EVEN
KNOW WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.
HE COULD HAVE WALKED UP
TO ME ON THAT STREET,
PUMPED A ROUND IN MY GUT,
AND I'D HAVE NEVER
SEEN IT COMING.
HE'S LETTING YOU
SWEAT A LITTLE FIRST,
GETTING HIS ROCKS OFF.
NAH.
HE'S SMARTER THAN THAT.
THE GUY'S A MAGGOT,
BUT HE'S NOT A FOOL.
I'M MISSING SOMETHING.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
HI.
HI.
OH...
YOU LOOK VERY NICE.
OH, THANK YOU.
THOUGHT THIS
WASN'T A DATE.
IT'S NOT.
FOR A DATE, I BRING ROSES.
HA HA HA HA.
THANK YOU.
SURE.
UM, DO YOU WANT
TO COME IN?
I'LL PUT THESE
IN WATER.
SO, DO YOU KNOW
WHERE YOU'D LIKE TO EAT?
WELL, I'VE BEEN GIVING
THIS DINNER SOME THOUGHT.
HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT ITALIAN?
THAT SOUNDS GREAT.
GOOD. 'CAUSE
I'VE DISCOVERED
THIS REALLY NICE
LITTLE SPOT
IN THE WEST VALLEY.
TERRIFIC.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
UH, EXCUSE ME.
THAT'S KIND OF ODD.
HOLD ON.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I JUST GOT THIS LETTER
FROM YOUR DIVORCE ATTORNEY,
THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING HERE.
LOOK, GRIFF, NOT NOW.
WHOSE CAR IS OUT HERE?
WHAT, DO YOU GOT A DATE?
THAT'S NONE
OF YOUR BUSINESS.
AW, THAT'S GREAT,
OLIVIA.
WHY NOT LET ME
MEET THIS GUY?
NO, GRIFF.
RIGHT.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT?
I WOULDN'T WANT TO
SPOIL YOUR BIG NIGHT
WITH SOMETHING
AS INCONSEQUENTIAL AS THIS.
IF YOU THINK
THIS IS EASY FOR ME,
THEN YOU ARE WRONG.
GOD DAMN IT, OLIVIA.
ARE YOU REALLY GONNA
GO THROUGH WITH THIS?
I DIDN'T HAVE
ANY OTHER CHOICE.
I MESSED UP, OLIVIA. I...
I LOST MY JOB,
AND NOW
I'M LOSING YOU, AND...
I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT.
I'LL GO ANYWHERE YOU WANT.
I'LL--JUST...
JUST GIVE ME
ANOTHER CHANCE.
YOU JUST WANT ME
TO CLOSE MY EYES
AND PRETEND THAT
NOTHING EVER HAPPENED?
I CAN'T DO THAT.
YOU LOOK ME IN THE EYES
RIGHT NOW AND YOU TELL ME
YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE,
AND I'LL WALK OUT OF HERE.
I'M NOT GONNA
PLAY THAT GAME, GRIFF.
WE'RE STILL MARRIED.
YOU TELL YOUR DATE THAT.
THAT WAS MY HUSBAND.
I'M SORRY.
IS EVERYTHING OK?
YEAH. I KNEW
THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN.
I JUST DIDN'T THINK
THAT IT WAS GONNA
HAPPEN TONIGHT.
I DON'T REALLY FEEL
LIKE GOING OUT.
MAYBE WE COULD
JUST STAY HERE
AND I COULD MAKE
SANDWICHES AND COFFEE.
SURE. SHOW ME
TO THE KNIFE.
I'LL SLICE
THE BREAD.
I WAS A WIFE AND MOTHER,
AND I THOUGHT
THAT'S THE WAY
IT WAS ALWAYS GONNA BE.
I WASN'T
PREPARED FOR THIS.
I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE IF I WERE
A RELIGIOUS PERSON,
I'D BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND
WHY THESE THINGS HAPPEN
THE WAY THEY DO.
ALL I KNOW
IS THAT LOSING MY SON
THAT WAY JUST...
IT'S LIKE A NIGHTMARE
THAT JUST NEVER
SEEMS TO END.
WELL, THEY SAY
TIME SUPPOSEDLY
HEALS ALL WOUNDS.
SO, TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN MARRIED?
YEAH. I HAVE.
STRANGELY ENOUGH,
SHE PASSED AWAY
QUITE RECENTLY.
OH, I AM SO SORRY.
IT HAPPENED, AND...
I WAS POWERLESS TO DO
ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
SHE MEANT
THE WHOLE WORLD TO ME.
AND I CAN DEFINITELY
SAY THAT I LOVED HER.
WITH ALL MY HEART.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
YEAH, WELL, OLIVIA,
THANK YOU.
I MUST SAY,
THAT WAS ABOUT
AS PLEASANT
AN EVENING
AS I'VE HAD IN A--
YOU TELL HIM WE'RE
STILL MARRIED, OLIVIA?
GRIFF!
HMM?
PLEASE, NO.
WHAT ARE YOU,
A TOUGH GUY? HUH?
GRIFF, STOP IT!
SHE'S MY WIFE!
ARE YOU HURT?
WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING?
HOW DARE YOU COME HERE?!
GET OUT!
GET OUT OF HERE!
I'M SO SORRY.
IT'S OK.
THAT WAS MY HUSBAND.
I GUESSED.
GOD DAMN IT.
GOD DAMN IT!
WHAT THE HELL
IS HAPPENING TO ME?
GOD.
I DON'T KNOW
WHO I AM ANYMORE, CASS.
I'M HURTIN' LIKE HELL.
YOU KNOW, I NEVER
SAW MY OLD MAN CRY...
NOT EVEN
WHEN MY MOTHER DIED.
I REMEMBER ONE TIME
WHEN I WAS...
12, 13 YEARS OLD
AND HE CAUGHT ME CRYING.
AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT I WAS CRYING ABOUT.
BUT HE JUST--
HE JUST SHUT ME DOWN.
I MEAN, HE JUST CAME
AND HE JUST SLAPPED
THE SNOT OUT OF ME.
TOLD ME I WAS WEAK.
"BOTTLE IT UP.
KEEP IT INSIDE."
NEVER CRIED AFTER THAT.
WHEN KEVIN DIED...
I LET OLIVIA MOURN ALONE.
BECAUSE I COULDN'T.
I JUST, I...
I COULDN'T.
I KNEW IF I STARTED,
I'D NEVER STOP.
AND THEN
I PUNISHED HER FOR IT.
I JUST WANT
TO TAKE IT ALL BACK.
MAKE THINGS RIGHT
BETWEEN US.
I'M NOT
THE ONE YOU SHOULD BE
TELLING THIS TO, GRIFF.
I GOTTA GO.
YOU GONNA
BE ALL RIGHT?
YEAH.
YEAH, I'M JUST GONNA
HANG OUT FOR A WHILE.
WHAT'S THIS?
TAKE A LOOK AT THAT
WHEN YOU HAVE
A CHANCE, OK?
HI, JACK.
HOW ARE YOU?
COULDN'T BE BETTER.
HERE FOR SOME MORE
CHOCOLATE PIE?
NO. I'M HERE
TO KIDNAP YOU.
WHAT?
I'M PLAYING HOOKY
FROM WORK.
I'D LOVE IT
IF YOU COULD JOIN ME.
I'M FIXING TO TAKE
A WALK ON THE BEACH,
MAYBE A MOVIE
AFTERWARDS.
FORGET LAST NIGHT
EVER EVEN HAPPENED.
HOW'S THAT SOUND?
WELL, I'M NOT
EXACTLY DRESSED
FOR A WALK
ON THE BEACH.
THEN WE'LL STOP
BY YOUR HOUSE FIRST,
SO YOU CAN CHANGE.
NO, I CAN'T GO NOW.
I MEAN, I STILL HAVE,
LIKE, HALF AN HOUR
LEFT ON MY SHIFT.
COME ON.
WE BOTH KNOW YOU DESERVE
SOME TIME OFF.
OLIVIA, LIVE A LITTLE.
I GUESS I COULD
ASK ANITA TO LET ME OFF
A LITTLE EARLY.
WHY DON'T YOU DO THAT?
OLIVIA, LISTEN TO ME.
I JUST TALKED TO ANITA.
SHE SAID YOU LEFT WORK EARLY.
HONEY, I'VE BEEN TRACKING
A KILLER FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW.
I GOT A POSITIVE I.D.
ON HIM.
HE'S THE GUY
WHO WAS AT THE HOUSE
LAST NIGHT, OLIVIA.
HE'S USING YOU.
HE'S USING YOU
TO GET BACK AT ME.
IF YOU GET THERE
BEFORE I DO,
YOU SIT TIGHT.
YOU HEAR ME?
YOU SIT TIGHT,
AND I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
GOOD. SO,
I'LL WAIT OUT HERE.
I DON'T WANT
TO CROWD YOU.
OH, YOU'RE
NOT CROWDING ME.
I'LL JUST BE A MINUTE.
COME ON IN.
YOU SURE? OK.
YOU KNOW,
OLIVIA, I WANTED
TO TELL YOU, UH...
LAST NIGHT
MEANT A LOT TO ME.
YOU KNOW,
DESPITE EVERYTHING
THAT HAPPENED,
I HAD A GREAT TIME.
UH, CAN I OFFER YOU
SOMETHING TO DRINK?
OH, SURE.
ICE TEA OK?
GREAT.
OH, I HAVE A MESSAGE.
Answering machine:
THURSDAY, 2:52 P.M.
Griff:
OLIVIA, LISTEN TO ME.
I JUST TALKED
TO ANITA. SHE SAID
YOU LEFT WORK EARLY.
HONEY, I'VE BEEN
TRACKING A KILLER
FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW.
I GOT A POSITIVE
I.D. ON HIM.
HE'S THE GUY
WHO WAS AT THE HOUSE
LAST NIGHT, OLIVIA.
HE'S USING YOU.
HE'S USING YOU
TO GET BACK AT ME.
IF YOU GET THERE
BEFORE I DO,
YOU SIT TIGHT,
YOU HEAR ME?
YOU SIT TIGHT,
AND I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
Machine: [BEEPS]
END OF MESSAGES.
GOD.
HE'S A DESPERATE MAN,
ISN'T HE?
I GUESS HE'LL RESORT
TO ANYTHING TO GET YOU BACK.
CAN'T SAY I BLAME HIM.
BUT, I MEAN,
TRYING TO SCARE YOU
WITH ALL THOSE TERRIBLE LIES
HE JUST SAID ABOUT ME?
I NEVER THOUGHT
HE'D RESORT TO ANYTHING
SO DESPICABLE.
GOD KNOWS WHAT
HE'S CAPABLE OF, OLIVIA.
I'M REALLY
CONCERNED FOR YOU.
WHAT? YOU DON'T
BELIEVE HIM, DO YOU?
OHH...AAH!
MMM...MMM...MMM...
[TELEPHONE RINGS
ON OTHER END]
Olivia: HI, YOU'VE REACHED
THE McCLEARY RESIDENCE.
PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE
AFTER THE BEEP. [BEEP]
SHIT.
HUHH!
MMM...MMM...
MMM...MMM...
TOSS THE GUN.
[WHIMPERS]
I SAID TOSS IT, OR
I'LL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF
RIGHT HERE AND NOW.
BACK UP.
LET OLIVIA GO.
THIS IS BETWEEN YOU AND ME.
YOU'RE WRONG.
THIS IS BETWEEN
ME AND YOU...
AND NIKKI.
YOU SEE, COP,
YOU DESTROYED
THE ONLY THING
I EVER REALLY LOVED.
MY FIRST IMPULSE WAS
TO KILL YOU STONE DEAD.
BUT THEN I REALIZED
YOU HAD TO LIVE...
SO YOU COULD FEEL
YOUR SHARE OF THE PAIN.
KNOWING YOU'D NEVER
SEE YOUR WOMAN AGAIN,
EVER FEEL THE WARMTH
OF HER SOFT SKIN.
[SHUDDERS]
OR KISS THAT SWEET,
SWEET SPOT AT THE BACK
OF HER NECK.
AND THE AGONY
OF KNOWING
THAT ANOTHER MAN
SEDUCED HER,
HAD HER, AND KILLED HER.
JUST LIKE
YOU DID MY NIKKI.
YOU WANNA KNOW
WHO KILLED YOUR WIFE?
THEN LOOK
IN THE MIRROR, PAL.
BECAUSE YOU USED HER.
YOU USED HER,
AND YOU TORE HER UP,
AND SHE COULDN'T
LIVE WITH THE GUILT.
AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
WHAT DO YOU
KNOW ABOUT IT?
LOOK IN YOUR OWN
DAMN MIRROR.
SEE WHAT A FUCKED-UP
MESS YOU'VE BECOME.
YOU'LL SEE
THAT YOUR MARRIAGE
IS AS DEAD AS YOUR KID.
FUCK YOU.
YOU SEE, IF ALL HAD
GONE ACCORDING TO PLAN,
I'D HAVE HAD MY WAY
WITH HER TONIGHT...
AND THEN,
WITH GREAT SATISFACTION,
PUT A BULLET QUIETLY
THROUGH HER HEART,
SO YOU COULD
FIND HER TOMORROW.
BUT NOW THINGS
JUST GOT BETTER.
BECAUSE YOU GET
TO SEE HER DIE.
AND I GET
TO LEAVE YOU HERE
WITH A BULLET
IN EACH LEG
TO THINK
ABOUT THE HORROR
YOUR LIFE HAS BECOME.
FUNNY HOW--UHH!
YOU SON OF A BITCH.
MMM...MMM...
YOU ALL RIGHT?
DID HE HURT YOU?
NO.
OHH! UHH!
LISTEN TO ME.
YOU TAKE THIS,
AND YOU STAY
IN THIS ROOM.
YOU DON'T MOVE,
NO MATTER WHAT YOU HEAR.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
OK.
ALL RIGHT.
OH, SH...
[OLIVIA SOBS]
YOU OK?
DON'T MOVE.
OH, OLIVIA.
I'M DISAPPOINTED.
AFTER ALL WE SHARED
LAST NIGHT?
WHY DON'T YOU TELL HIM
HOW WE HELD HANDS
AND POURED OUT OUR HEARTS
TO ONE ANOTHER?
THAT'S NOT TRUE!
ENOUGH.
KILL ME.
KILL ME LIKE
YOU KILLED NIKKI.
LIKE YOU KILLED
YOUR OWN SON.
COME ON. YOU KNOW
YOU WANNA DO IT.
YOU HATE ME.
I'M TAKING YOU IN,
HARLAN.
I DON'T THINK SO.
UH-UH.
I DON'T THINK YOU CAN
GET THROUGH ANOTHER DAY
WITH ME AROUND--
A LIVING TESTIMONY
TO YOUR SIN.
AHH!
Harlan: [LAUGHS]
OH, COME ON.
COME ON, YOU CAN
DO BETTER THAN THAT.
YOU'RE A KILLER,
LIKE ME.
DON'T YOU DO IT.
I'LL SEE YOU...
I'LL SEE YOU
IN HELL, BROTHER.
