Diagnosis Murder (1993–2001): Season 7, Episode 20 - Murder at BBQ Bob's - full transcript
While US Marines Captain Paul Davis, Lieutenant Richard Martinelli -an MP- and Lieutenant Jean Romanski are eating at BBQ Bob's during Jesse's shift, a fourth, Captain Hank Thomas, bursts in saying "You'll all be sorry" and shoots...
Jesse:
ALEX?
ALEX!
HEY!
HI.
YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE
A SLEEP DISORDER UNIT
AT THE HOSPITAL.
I'M FINE.
OH, I'M SORRY.
EVERYBODY OUT!
NOW!
WHOA. HEY.
JUST TAKE IT EASY, OKAY?
MOVE!
HANK, DON'T DO THIS.
SIT DOWN.
PLEASE, HANK.
SHUT UP!
JUST GIVE ME
THE GUN, OKAY?
WHY DON'T YOU
GO GET THE BLINDS.
I WANT YOU TO PUT
THE GUN DOWN, OKAY?
I GOT SOMETHING TO SETTLE.
OKAY, LOOK,
WE CAN...
WE CAN WORK
THIS OUT, OKAY.
W-WE, YOU...
PUT THE GUN DOWN.
LIEUTENANT ROBERT
MARTINELLI.
THIS IS MY FATHER,
DR. MARK SLOAN.
HE'S A CONSULTANT
WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
WHAT HAPPENED?
I'LL KILL THEM ALL.
LOOK, YOU'RE
MAKING IT WORSE.
GO OUTSIDE.
WE'LL TALK TO
HIM,
PLEASE.
Gunman:
I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU SORRY
FOR WHAT YOU DID!
911.
WHEN HE CAME IN,
HE FIRED A SHOT
INTO THE CEILING
AND THEN ORDERED
EVERYBODY TO LEAVE.
EVERYBODY EXCEPT
THE THREE MARINES
THAT WERE HERE
AT THE TABLE.
CAPTAIN
PAUL DAVIS
LIEUTENANT
JEAN ROMANSKI
BUT I...
H-HE WAS
IT WAS...
WELL, HE SCARED ME,
AND I...
I FINALLY TALKED
TO LIEUTENANT
MARTINELLI ABOUT IT.
ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO.
WELL, AFTER THAT
HE... HE JUST STARTED
STALKING ME.
IT WAS...
THE DECEASED IS
A CAPTAIN HANK THOMAS.
HE'S ATTACHED TO
THE MALIBU POINT
MARINE AIR STATION.
APPARENTLY
SHOT HIMSELF.
DEATH WAS INSTANTANEOUS.
ANYBODY ELSE HURT?
Jesse:
NO.
WHEN HE CAME IN,
HE FIRED A SHOT
INTO THE CEILING
THERE'S NOTHING REALLY
LIEUTENANT MARTINELLI
COULD HAVE DONE.
HE DID ASK TO MEET WITH ME
ABOUT THE SITUATION.
THAT'S WHY
WE WERE ALL HERE.
WHY NOT?
LOOK, WE CAN DO THIS
BY BRAILLE, OR YOU
CAN ACTUALLY TALK TO ME
AND HELP ME GET
TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.
DID YOU ARREST HIM?
IT WASN'T THAT EASY.
WHY NOT?
WHAT HAPPENED?
SAID HE WAS GOING
TO MAKE US ALL SORRY...
PUT A GUN TO HIS HEAD,
PULLED THE TRIGGER.
RESIDUE TEST
ON YOU.
IN FACT, I'LL HAVE
TO TEST YOU ALL.
THAT'S OKAY, BUT YOU
SHOULD KNOW, WE'RE ALL
COVERED
IN RESIDUE.
WE WERE AT THE RANGE
THIS MORNING...
BUT I...
H-HE WAS
SO JEALOUS
ALL THE TIME, YOU KNOW.
I-I COULDN'T LIVE
WITH HIS ACCUSATIONS
AND I-I JUST...
I HAD TO BREAK IT OFF.
WHEN DID YOU DO THAT?
ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO.
TO DEFUSE THE SITUATION.
I JUST... I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE
HE KILLED HIMSELF.
Amanda:
JESSE, ALEX,
I'M SORRY.
I'LL HAVE
TO CONDUCT
A GUN CHECK
RESIDUE TEST
ON YOU.
I FINALLY TALKED
TO LIEUTENANT
MARTINELLI ABOUT IT.
YOU'RE WITH
THE MILITARY POLICE?
THAT'S RIGHT.
DID YOU ARREST HIM?
THIS IS A NAVY INVESTIGATION...
I'LL TAKE OVER.
NICE TRY, BUT THIS ONE
BELONGS TO THE L.A.P.D.
YOU'RE ONLY
MAKING WORK
FOR YOURSELF,
DETECTIVE.
NOT OFF BASE.
WITHIN THE CITY,
IT'S L.A.P.D. JURISDICTION.
THERE WERE NO CIVILIANS KILLED
OR WOUNDED...
NO, BUT...
AND HELP ME GET
TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.
HANK WAS ALWAYS CAREFUL
TO MAKE SURE
THERE WERE NO WITNESSES.
THERE'S NOTHING REALLY
LIEUTENANT MARTINELLI
COULD HAVE DONE.
LIEUTENANT SLOAN?
HANNAH BERNSTEIN, N.I.S.
I UNDERSTAND SOME OF OUR PEOPLE
ARE INVOLVED IN A SITUATION.
UH, ST SLOA.
THAT'S WHY
WE WERE ALL HERE.
I'M THE ADJUTANT
TO COLONEL CHANDLER.
CHANDLER'S YOUR C.O.?
THAT'S RIGHT.
NOW, LIEUTENANT MARTINELLI
HAD BRIEFED ME
ON THE SITUATION.
I WAS HOPING...
WELL, WE WERE ALL HOPING
WE COULD FIND
SOME WAY
TO DEFUSE THE SITUATION.
ABOUT MY TIME MANAGEMENT,
WARRANT OFFICER BERNSTEIN.
I'VE STARTED MY INVESTIGATION,
I'M GOING TO SEE IT THROUGH.
DO AS YOU LIKE.
I INTEND TO.
IT APPEARS TO BE, SIR.
WHAT WOULD MAKE
IT DEFINITIVE FOR
YOU, DETECTIVE?
I'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT
THOMAS' MEDICAL RECORDS...
FOR YOURSELF,
DETECTIVE.
I WOULD THINK YOU WOULD HAVE
OTHER MORE PRESSING MATTERS.
WHY DON'T YOU LET ME WORRY
ABOUT MY TIME MANAGEMENT,
WARRANT OFFICER BERNSTEIN.
NO, BUT...
NO CIVILIAN WITNESSES...
WHAT'S THAT GOT
TO DO WITH ANYTHING?
THIS IS A NAVY INVESTIGATION...
I'LL TAKE OVER.
THIS IS JUST ROUTINE, SIR.
WE'LL, UH, TREAD LIGHTLY.
WHO CALLED YOU?
I DID.
N.I.S. HAS JURISDICTION
OVER CASES INVOLVING
MILITARY PERSONNEL.
NOT OFF BASE.
YES, BUT THOMAS
IS DEAD, AND I WANT
THIS CLEANED UP
QUICKLY.
RELEASE THE RECORDS.
YES, SIR.
WERE YOU EVER
IN THE SERVICE,
LIEUTENANT SLOAN?
I INTEND TO.
FINE.
SO, THOMAS' DEATH WAS A SUICIDE?
GOOD DAY, SIR.
I'M NOT TRYING TO TELL YOU
HOW TO RUN YOUR INVESTIGATION
OR SHOW YOU UP,
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
I DIDN'T SAY YOU WERE.
I'M JUST TRYING TO DO MY JOB.
WELL, THEN,
YOU UNDERSTAND
THE MILITARY
LIKES TO CLEAN UP
ITS OWN MESS.
THIS IS JUST ROUTINE, SIR.
I'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT
THOMAS' MEDICAL RECORDS...
FOR STATE OF MIND.
MEDICAL RECORDS
ARE CONFIDENTIAL.
YES, BUT THOMAS
IS DEAD, AND I WANT
SO, THOMAS' DEATH WAS A SUICIDE?
Bernstein:
YES, SIR.
IT APPEARS TO BE, SIR.
I'M JUST TRYING TO DO MY JOB.
OKAY.
SO, WHY DON'T WE, UH, COOPERATE
NOT THIS
MORNING, NO.
I THINK THERE'S A PROBLEM
WITH THE THOMAS AUTOPSY REPORT.
I THINK WE
SHOULD CALL STEVE.
UH, WARRANT OFFICER
BERNSTEIN...
LOOK, UH...
IN THE SERVICE,
LIEUTENANT SLOAN?
YES, SIR. INFANTRY.
'NAM?
TWO TOURS.
WELL, THEN,
YOU UNDERSTAND
THE MILITARY
WE COULD DO THAT.
GREAT.
GOOD.
WELL, UH...
I'M GLAD WE
HAD THIS TALK.
JUST DON'T DO ANYTHING
WITHOUT TELLING ME.
LOOK, UH...
MAYBE WE, UH, GOT OFF
ON THE WRONG FOOT. UH...
I'M NOT TRYING TO TELL YOU
HOW TO RUN YOUR INVESTIGATION
WELL, I DIDN'T GET
MUCH SLEEP LAST NIGHT.
I WAS WORKING A DOUBLE SHIFT
AT THE MINI-MART, AND THEN
I STILL HAD TO STUDY
WHEN I GOT HOME.
WHAT TIME DID YOU GET TO BED?
DO YOU REMEMBER
WHAT MED SCHOOL WAS LIKE?
FORTUNATELY, I FORGOT ALL ABOUT
THAT NOT-SLEEPING PART.
SO, WHY DON'T WE, UH, COOPERATE
YOU KNOW, SHARE INFORMATION,
WORK TOGETHER.
WE COULD DO THAT.
IT'S JUST BEEN
A LONG DAY.
IT'S ONLY 10:00.
WELL, I DIDN'T GET
MUCH SLEEP LAST NIGHT.
WHO KNOWS HOW LONG
THAT'S GOING TO BE.
HAS ANYONE SEEN JESSE?
NOT THIS
MORNING, NO.
FORTUNATELY, I FORGOT ALL ABOUT
THAT NOT-SLEEPING PART.
I'M GLAD I RAN INTO YOU, THOUGH.
I WAS WONDERING
IF YOU HAD
ANY ODD JOBS
THAT NEED DOING
AROUND THE HOUSE OR ANYTHING.
YOU LOOKING FOR MORE WORK?
YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
IT'S JUST BEEN
A LONG DAY.
ABOUT YOUR STUDIES
AND
YOUR HEALTH.
OH, IT'S TEMPORARY, JUST UNTIL
BARBEQUE BOB'S REOPENS.
WHO KNOWS HOW LONG
THAT'S GOING TO BE.
I USED TO PLAY
SOFTBALL WITH HIM.
YOU WERE FRIENDS?
WE WEREN'T FRIENDS,
BUT I KNEW HIM.
IT'S A SMALL POST;
I KNOW MOST OF THE OFFICERS.
AND TRY AND SHOOT HIMSELF
IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS HEAD?
I DON'T KNOW. HE WAS HOLDING
THE WEAPON IN HIS LEFT HAND.
I DON'T KNOW WHY HE DID;
I KNOW THAT HE DID.
THE CORONER ONLY
FOUND
TRACES
OF GUNSHOT RESIDUE ON HIS LEFT
YOU LOOKING FOR MORE WORK?
WELL, I DON'T HAVE MY DAD
TO GO TO ANYMORE FOR HELP
AND I'M A LITTLE SHORT.
PRETTY MUCH GOT TO TAKE CARE
OF EVERYTHING ON MY OWN.
WELL, ALEX, I ADMIRE
YOUR WORK ETHIC
BUT I'M A LITTLE WORRIED
ABOUT YOUR STUDIES
AND
YOUR HEALTH.
I SAW HIM.
NOW, YOU CAN ASK YOUR
FRIEND, DR. TRAVIS.
HE SAW HIM HOLDING THE WEAPON
IN HIS LEFT HAND, HE SAW HIM
OF GUNSHOT RESIDUE ON HIS LEFT
AND SIGNIFIC RESIDUE
ON HIS RIGHT.
SO WHAT?
IT'S A SMALL POST;
I KNOW MOST OF THE OFFICERS.
THOMAS WAS SHOT
IN HIS RIGHT TEMPLE.
WHY WOULD HE TAKE THE GUN
IN HIS LEFT HAND
AND TRY AND SHOOT HIMSELF
IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS HEAD?
SO WHAT?
I'M LEFT-HANDED.
I DO LOTS OF THINGS
WITH BOTH HANDS.
FOR EXAMPLE, I BAT RIGHT-HANDED.
WHICH HAND DO YOU SHOOT WITH?
THOMAS' MEDICAL RECORDS
SUPPORT THE CORONER'S FINDING
THAT HE WAS RIGHT-HANDED.
I COULD HAVE
TOLD YOU THAT.
I USED TO PLAY
SOFTBALL WITH HIM.
WHICH HAND DO YOU SHOOT WITH?
WHAT DOES IT MATTER WHAT I DO?
HE SAW HIM HOLDING THE WEAPON
IN HIS LEFT HAND, HE SAW HIM
FIRE IT
INTO THE CEILING.
I DON'T KNOW. HE WAS HOLDING
THE WEAPON IN HIS LEFT HAND.
WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?
IF HE WAS RIGHT-HANDED
WHY WOULD HE HOLD A GUN
IN HIS LEFT HAND?
I DON'T KNOW WHY HE DID;
I KNOW THAT HE DID.
GUT FEELING.
YEAH, RIBS AND LATTE...
THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.
HERE... RIGHT... THERE.
I'M THINKING ABOUT
GETTING A MACHINE
FOR THE RESTAURANT.
A CAPPUCCINO MACHINE
IN A BARBECUE JOINT?
YEAH, RIBS AND LATTE...
THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.
I'VE GOT HIM REPAIRING
THOSE BROKEN TILES ON THE ROOF.
I HATE FLOWER PUZZLES.
ALL THE PIECES
LOOK THE SAME.
JESS, ARE YOU POSITIVE
THOMAS HAD HIS GUN
IN HIS LEFT HAND?
WHAT DOES IT MATTER WHAT I DO?
HANK THOMAS HAD A WEAPON
IN HIS LEFT HAND.
HE SHOT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD.
I SAW HIM.
HERE... RIGHT... THERE.
WHAT'S ALEX DOING OUT THERE?
I'VE GOT HIM REPAIRING
THOSE BROKEN TILES ON THE ROOF.
YOU HAD IT UPSIDE-DOWN.
HOW'S THE COFFEE?
IT'S GREAT.
YOU WENT TO THE AIR STATION
BUT IT'S POSSIBLE
THAT HE
TRANSFERRED THE GUN
TO HIS RIGHT HAND
BEFORE HE SHOT HIMSELF.
AFTER HE FIRED ONE SHOT
INTO THE CEILING
WITH HIS LEFT HAND?
HE'S HIDING SOMETHING.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
GUT FEELING.
INTO THE CEILING
WITH HIS LEFT HAND?
AND THREE
MARINE OFFICERS
ARE LYING ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED.
JESSE'S RIGHT, WHY
WOULD THEY ALL LIE?
OKAY, GUYS, TELL ME WHAT
YOU THINK, HONESTLY.
I'M THINKING ABOUT
GETTING A MACHINE
FOR THE RESTAURANT.
I'M SORRY.
THAT HAD JUST COME IN.
I, UH, MADE A MISTAKE.
I'M SORRY.
YOU SAID YOU
WOULD KEEP ME INFORMED.
I KNOW. I, UH, FORGOT.
WHAT HAPPENED
TO "LET'S COOPERATE"?
OR "I THINK WE GOT OFF
ON THE WRONG FOOT"?
WELL, I WAS ACTING
ON INFORMATION
THAT HAD JUST COME IN.
JESSE'S RIGHT, WHY
WOULD THEY ALL LIE?
THERE IT IS.
NO, I ALREADY
TRIED THAT PIECE.
YOU HAD IT UPSIDE-DOWN.
THOMAS HAD HIS GUN
IN HIS LEFT HAND?
STEVE, I SAW WHAT I SAW.
HE USED HIS LEFT HAND.
BUT IT'S POSSIBLE
THAT HE
YOU KNOW, I'M JUST NOT USED
TO WORKING WITH OTHER PEOPLE.
LOOK, IF I PROMISE
THAT I'LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN
I KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE
I TRIED TO TRICK YOU
BUT I DIDN'T. HONEST.
YOU KNOW, I'M JUST NOT USED
TO WORKING WITH OTHER PEOPLE.
I KNOW. I, UH, FORGOT.
I'M SORRY. UH...
CAN WE TALK ABOUT IT?
TO WRAP THIS
INVESTIGATION UP.
WRAP IT UP?
WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN
THE ANSWERS YET.
WELL, AS FAR AS
COLONEL CHANDLER
IS CONCERNED, WE DO.
AND INTERVIEWED CAPTAIN DAVIS
WITHOUT ME?
OH, HANNAH, YEAH, I, UH...
WHAT HAPPENED
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHAT I THINK.
OF COURSE IT DOES.
WHY DON'T YOU
JUST TELL HIM...?
THIS IS YOUR FIRST CASE,
ISN'T IT?
LOOK, IF I PROMISE
THAT I'LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN
UH, WILL YOU QUIT
BEING MAD AT ME?
I'VE BEEN GIVEN ORDERS
TO WRAP THIS
INVESTIGATION UP.
I'VE HANDLED, YOU
KNOW, BY MYSELF, YES.
WELL, WHAT
IF I COULD FIND
SOMETHING INCRIMINATING
BYE.
SOMETHING INCRIMINATING
BEFORE YOU GOT TO ME?
YOU THINK CHANDLER
WOULD LET YOU STAY ON THE CASE?
WELL, WHAT...?
HI.
NO!
WELL, I MEAN,
THE FIRST CASE
I'VE HANDLED, YOU
KNOW, BY MYSELF, YES.
IT WOULD CERTAINLY
CLEAR THINGS UP.
I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING
TO GET THAT LUCKY.
WELL, AS FAR AS
COLONEL CHANDLER
IS CONCERNED, WE DO.
THOMAS COMMITTED
SUICIDE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
A LITTLE.
WHAT ARE YOU
HOPING TO FIND?
A SUICIDE NOTE?
IT WOULD CERTAINLY
CLEAR THINGS UP.
HI.
WHAT COULD YOU FIND?
YOU THINK YOU COULD GET ME
INTO THOMAS' QUARTERS?
HELLO?
Man:
Hank Thomas?
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
Western States Annuity

YOU THINK YOU COULD GET ME

Hello. This is Vinnie
at the pro shop
confirming your tee-time
for 2:45.
RESERVES VIDEOS,
MAKES A GOLF DATE
AND THEN COMMITS SUICIDE?
I'M CONFUSED.
I THOUGHT THAT THOMAS' DEATH
WAS RULED AS A SUICIDE.
WE HAVEN'T MADE
A FINAL DETERMINATION
AND THEN COMMITS SUICIDE?
This is Susan Chandler.
Please call me
when you get this.
It's important. Thank you.
HMM.
CAN YOU RETRIEVE THEM?
AND THEN I HEARD
THE INVESTIGATION WAS CLOSED.
NOT BY THE L.A.P.D.
IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR YOU
TO TALK TO HIM. WHY?
CERTAINLY, BUT IT HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH HIS DEATH.
WE'D STILL LIKE TO KNOW, MA'AM.
WELL, MY HUSBAND'S
BEING PROMOTED TO GENERAL
AND CAPTAIN THOMAS WAS PERSONNEL
OFFICER AT THE STATION.
Woman:
Hank Thomas,
this is MegaHits Movies.
The two videos you reserved
are ready for pickup.
We're open until 10:00 tonight.
AND CAPTAIN THOMAS WAS PERSONNEL
OFFICER AT THE STATION.
AND WHAT I NEEDED
WAS A LIST OF ALL
THE PILOTS
SO I COULD INVITE THEM
DOWN TO THE OFFICERS' CLUB
FOR A SURPRISE
WETTING-DOWN PARTY.
WOULD WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT THAT CALL?
NO. I COULDN'T IMAGINE
WHAT MY PHONE CALL
WOULD HAVE TO DO WITH HIS DEATH.
WE HAVEN'T MADE
A FINAL DETERMINATION
ON THAT YET,
MRS. CHANDLER.
YOUR MESSAGE SAID
IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR YOU
TO TALK TO HIM. WHY?
It's important. Thank you.
SUSAN CHANDLER?
COLONEL CHANDLER'S WIFE.
I'M CONFUSED.
PLEASE PROMISE ME
YOU WON'T TELL DR. SLOAN
OR DR. TRAVIS ABOUT THIS.
NOT BY THE L.A.P.D.
WELL, I'M SORRY I COULDN'T
HAVE BEEN MORE HELP.
GOOD DAY.
IT'S A CELEBRATION.
A BREAK-IN OR "WET DOWN"
HIS NEW STAR WITH A FEW DRINKS.
DID CAPTAIN THOMAS
CALL YOU BACK?
WE'RE SORRY TO
HAVE BOTHERED YOU.
DIDN'T YOU THINK
THAT MAYBE
THE INVESTIGATING OFFICERS
WOULD WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT THAT CALL?
FOR A SURPRISE
WETTING-DOWN PARTY.
A WETTING-DOWN PARTY?
IT'S A CELEBRATION.
GOOD DAY.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
DID CAPTAIN THOMAS
CALL YOU BACK?
NO, I NEVER HEARD FROM HIM.
THANK YOU
VERY MUCH
FOR YOUR TIME,
MRS. CHANDLER.
WE'RE SORRY TO
HAVE BOTHERED YOU.
YOU WON'T TELL DR. SLOAN
OR DR. TRAVIS ABOUT THIS.
ALEX.
I CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE
EITHER ONE OF MY JOBS.
YOU COULD HAVE FRACTURED
YOUR ARM OR YOUR LEG OR WORSE
AND THEN
WHERE WOULD YOU BE?
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
OW!
IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
SIT DOWN.
I'M FINE.
ALEX, YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL
YOURSELF WORKING THREE JOBS
WELL, I CAN'T TAKE
OUT ANY MORE LOANS.
I'LL BE PAYING THEM
OFF UNTIL I RETIRE.
WHAT ABOUT THE ARMY?
THE ARMY?
DON'T CUT OFF
YOUR OPTIONS
UNTIL YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
MAYBE THERE WERE NO WITNESSES
BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED.
YOU THINK ROMANSKI MADE
THE WHOLE THING UP?
SHE CAME TO ME AND SAID HELP ME,
MY EX-BOYFRIEND IS STALKING ME?
OH, I DON'T THINK SO.
THEY'LL PAY
FOR YOUR MEDICAL EDUCATION
IF YOU JUST GIVE THEM
A FEW YEARS SERVICE.
AMANDA, I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU'VE NOTICED
SO, THAT'S IT.
A QUICK LUNCH AND WE CLOSE
THE FILES ON THOMAS' DEATH.
HAVE YOU TALKED
TO ANYBODY ABOUT IT?
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT IT'S LIKE?
WELL...
DON'T CUT OFF
YOUR OPTIONS
A QUICK LUNCH AND WE CLOSE
THE FILES ON THOMAS' DEATH.
WELL, MAYBE NOT.
DID YOU FIND SOMETHING?
ALEX, YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL
YOURSELF WORKING THREE JOBS
TO PAY FOR YOUR
MEDICAL EDUCATION.
THERE ARE OTHER WAYS.
WELL, I CAN'T TAKE
OUT ANY MORE LOANS.
DID YOU FIND SOMETHING?
WHOOPS!
WHAT IS YOUR POINT, LIEUTENANT?
AMANDA, I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU'VE NOTICED
BUT I'M NOT EXACTLY
THE MILITARY TYPE.
AND HOW DO YOU KNOW?
HAVE YOU TALKED
TO ANYBODY ABOUT IT?
NO EVIDENCE
OF PRIOR INCIDENTS.
THAT'S YOUR
INVESTIGATIVE
BREAKTHROUGH?
I ALREADY TOLD YOU
THERE WERE NO WITNESS.
WELL, I GOT TO THINKING.
MAYBE THERE WERE NO WITNESSES
BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED.
HOW DO I KNOW
THEY WERE FROM HIM?
YOU'RE GOING ALONG WITH THIS?
JUST BECAUSE THE LETTERS
WERE UNSIGNED?
WELL, THERE IS ONE OTHER THING.
UH...
WE FOUND SOME NOTES
THAT CAPTAIN THOMAS
MADE FOR HIMSELF
ON A MARIJUANA BUST
AT ON-BASE HOUSING
LAST NOVEMBER.
YOU SAW THE LETTERS HE WROTE.
THEY WERE IN HIS FILE.
I SAW SOME VERY INCRIMINATING,
TYPED LETTERS. UNSIGNED.
HOW DO I KNOW
THEY WERE FROM HIM?
CAPTAIN THOMAS
WROTE THAT HE
WAS PRESENT
AT THE TIME OF THE RAID
BUT HE WAS NEVER CHARGED.
IN FACT, HIS NAME DOESN'T EVEN
APPEAR ON YOUR REPORT.
AT ON-BASE HOUSING
LAST NOVEMBER.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?
TWO OFFICERS
WERE COURT-MARTIALED
AND GIVEN
DISHONORABLE DISCHARGES.
WHAT IS YOUR POINT, LIEUTENANT?
NO WITNESSES
NO CORROBORATION
NO EVIDENCE
OF PRIOR INCIDENTS.
I'M SURE WE CAN VERIFY
THE HANDWRITING.
ALTHOUGH, ACCORDING TO YOU
HE GENERALLY TYPED
INCRIMINATING DOCUMENTS.
CAPTAIN THOMAS
WROTE THAT HE
JUST BECAUSE THE LETTERS
WERE UNSIGNED?
WELL, THERE IS ONE OTHER THING.
SHE CAME TO ME AND SAID HELP ME,
MY EX-BOYFRIEND IS STALKING ME?
THOMAS DOESN'T FIT THE PROFILE
OF A STALKER, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
YOU SAW THE LETTERS HE WROTE.
THEY WERE IN HIS FILE.
I WAS THE OFFICER
ON DUTY AT THE TIME.
HOW DO I KNOW
THIS IS THOMAS'?
WE FOUND THESE NOTES
AT HIS QUARTERS.
I'M SURE WE CAN VERIFY
THE HANDWRITING.
CAPTAIN THOMAS WAS PRESENT
IN THE QUARTERS
AT THE TIME OF THE ARREST,
BUT HE WAS IN ANOTHER ROOM.
NO DRUGS WERE
FOUND ON HIM
AND HE ASSURED ME
IN FACT, HIS NAME DOESN'T EVEN
APPEAR ON YOUR REPORT.
THAT'S CORRECT.
WHY IS THAT?
CAPTAIN THOMAS WAS PRESENT
IN THE QUARTERS
YOU NOT ONLY EXCUSED HIM
WITHOUT TESTING FOR ANY DRUG USE
YOU EVEN ELIMINATED HIS NAME
FROM THE REPORT ITSELF.
IT WAS A JUDGMENT CALL.
IT WAS DERELICTION OF DUTY AND
CONDUCT UNBECOMING AN OFFICER.
SOMEBODY WAS SMOKING MARIJUANA
IN THOSE SMALL QUARTERS
AND HE DIDN'T KNOW IT?
THAT'S WHAT HE SAID,
AND I BELIEVED HIM.
YOU NOT ONLY EXCUSED HIM
WITHOUT TESTING FOR ANY DRUG USE
AND GIVEN
DISHONORABLE DISCHARGES.
I REMEMBER.
I WAS THE OFFICER
ON DUTY AT THE TIME.
THAT WOULD ONLY HARM
AN INNOCENT MAN'S CAREER.
LIEUTENANT,
IF CAPTAIN THOMAS WAS USING
YOU SAID YOU WOULD
TREAD LIGHTLY.
THERE IS A LIMIT
TO HOW LIGHTLY
YOU CAN TREAD
CAPTAIN THOMAS WAS THE STATION'S
PERSONNEL OFFICER.
I CHOSE NOT TO REPORT SOMETHING
THAT WOULD ONLY HARM
AN INNOCENT MAN'S CAREER.
IT WAS DERELICTION OF DUTY AND
CONDUCT UNBECOMING AN OFFICER.
CAPTAIN THOMAS WAS THE STATION'S
PERSONNEL OFFICER.
WARRANT OFFICER BERNSTEIN.
COLONEL CHANDLER WANTS TO SEE
YOU IN HIS OFFICE ASAP.
AND HE ASSURED ME
HE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE
OF THE DRUGS.
SOMEBODY WAS SMOKING MARIJUANA
IN THOSE SMALL QUARTERS
DON'T MAKE ANY ACCUSATIONS
YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET.
LIEUTENANT SLOAN...
WARRANT OFFICER BERNSTEIN.
A LEGITIMATE INVESTIGATION.
THE INVESTIGATION OF A SUICIDE.
NOW, LOOK,
CAPTAIN DAVIS
LIEUTENANT,
IF CAPTAIN THOMAS WAS USING
ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION
ABOUT YOU
TO CONVINCE YOU
NOT TO ARREST HIM...
YOU'VE GONE
TO MY PERSONAL QUARTERS
UPSET MY WIFE,
RUINED WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
A WONDERFUL
SURPRISE FOR ME.
NOW, IF THAT'S TREADING LIGHTLY
REMIND ME NEVER TO GO ON
A RECON MISSION WITH YOU.
SIR, WE ARE FOLLOWING
YOU SAID YOU WOULD
TREAD LIGHTLY.
TO CONVINCE YOU
NOT TO ARREST HIM...
I'D BE VERY CAREFUL
IF I WERE YOU.
DON'T MAKE ANY ACCUSATIONS
YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET.
BUT, WARRANT OFFICER BERNSTEIN
I WANT YOUR REPORT ON MY DESK
TOMORROW MORNING.
YOUR FINAL REPORT.
NOW, LOOK,
CAPTAIN DAVIS
TOLD ME ABOUT THIS
RIGHT-HAND, LEFT-HAND CRAP.
IT'S NONSENSE.
I MAY NOT
HAVE ANY JURISDICTION
OVER THE L.A.P.D.
BUT, WARRANT OFFICER BERNSTEIN
THERE IS A LIMIT
TO HOW LIGHTLY
YOU CAN TREAD
AND STILL MANAGE
TO CONDUCT
A CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATION.
YOU'VE GONE
TO MY PERSONAL QUARTERS
IT'S HER FIRST CASE AND SHE
FEELS LIKE SHE'S FAILED.
I GUESS IF YOU'RE A
NAVAL INVESTIGATOR
YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO FOLLOW ORDERS
NOT HUNCHES.
I HATE TO ADMIT IT
YEAH, I GUESS.
BUT MAYBE
COLONEL CHANDLER'S RIGHT.
WE'RE LOOKING SO HARD
AT THIS THING
I MEAN,
THE GUNSHOT RESIDUE ALONE
IS ENOUGH TO KEEP THE CASE OPEN.
BUT G.S.R. IS NOT ALWAYS
RELIABLE, YOU KNOW.
ARE YOU KIDDING?
WE'RE LOOKING SO HARD
AT THIS THING
WE'RE MAKING SOMETHING
OUT OF NOTHING.
NO, THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH
THAT DOESN'T SMELL RIGHT.
I MEAN,
THE GUNSHOT RESIDUE ALONE
ARE YOU KIDDING?
YEAH, THERE'S ALWAYS
ROOM FOR DOUBT.
NOT IN THIS CASE.
THOMAS HAD ONLY A SMALL TRACE
OF GUNSHOT RESIDUE
YOUR FINAL REPORT.
NOW, IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?
SLOAN HERE.
I FEEL SO SORRY
FOR HANNAH.
IT'S HER FIRST CASE AND SHE
FEELS LIKE SHE'S FAILED.
SAYS IT COULD HAVE
SOMETHING TO DO
WITH THE CASE.
SO MUCH FOR
FOLLOWING ORDERS.
SLOAN HERE.
OH, HI.
YEAH,
I CAN MEET YOU THERE
IN ABOUT AN HOUR.
WE'RE BOTH ON DUTY.
SO, UH...
WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT
NOT
INVESTIGATING?
I'M OFFICIALLY OFF THE CASE.
CHAMPAGNE?
NON-ALCOHOLIC,
I PRESUME.
WE'RE BOTH ON DUTY.
THOMAS HAD ONLY A SMALL TRACE
OF GUNSHOT RESIDUE
ON HIS LEFT HAND.
AND IF HE, IN FACT,
FIRED THE GUN
HE HAD TO HAVE DONE IT
WITH HIS RIGHT.
WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT
NOT
INVESTIGATING?
WELL... I STARTED THINKING ABOUT
WHAT SUSAN CHANDLER SAID.
IN ABOUT AN HOUR.
ALL RIGHT.
THAT WAS HANNAH.
SHE WANTS ME
TO MEET HER
AT THE AIR STATION.
SAYS IT COULD HAVE
SOMETHING TO DO
WELL... I STARTED THINKING ABOUT
WHAT SUSAN CHANDLER SAID.
HOW SHE
WAS HAVING
A SURPRISE PARTY
FOR HER HUSBAND
HERE AT THE OFFICERS' CLUB.
AND?
THERE ARE OVER
150 PILOTS
ASSIGNED TO THIS STATION.
TO SEE IF HE COULD ARRANGE
FOR AS MANY PILOTS
AS POSSIBLE
TO COME TO THE PARTY.
TAKE A LOOK INSIDE.
ASSIGNED TO THIS STATION.
SUSAN CHANDLER SAID SHE LEFT A
MESSAGE ON THOMAS' CELL PHONE
TO SEE IF HE COULD ARRANGE
FOR AS MANY PILOTS
THIS IS KIND OF CLOAK-
AND-DAGGER, ISN'T IT?
I'M OFFICIALLY OFF THE CASE.
WHICH MEANS...
SHE LIED TO US.
SHOCKING, ISN'T IT?
MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE
ANOTHER TALK WITH HER.
MAYBE SHE WAS PLANNING
ON A LOT OF NO-SHOWS.
I CONSIDERED THAT, SO I ASKED
IF SHE HAD BOOKED THE ROOM
FOR THE NIGHT IN QUESTION
OR FOR ANY NIGHT,
FOR THAT MATTER.
IT WOULDN'T HOLD 75 PEOPLE,
MUCH LESS 150.
MAYBE SHE WAS PLANNING
ON A LOT OF NO-SHOWS.
OR FOR ANY NIGHT,
FOR THAT MATTER.
NO PARTY PLANNED.
MM-MM.
WHICH MEANS...
IT IS KIND OF
SMALL, ISN'T IT?
IT WOULDN'T HOLD 75 PEOPLE,
MUCH LESS 150.
OH... JUST FISHING.
WHY DO I GET THE FEELING YOU'RE
NOT TELLING ME EVERYTHING?
TO HER DRY CLEANERS?
WHAT WERE YOU ASKING MARTINELLI
ABOUT YESTERDAY?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
NOTHING MORE THRILLING
THAN A DAY SPENT ON
SURVEILLANCE, HUH?
YOU DON'T THINK
THIS IS EXCITING?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHEN YOU WERE ASKING
IF THOMAS HAD ANYTHING
OF A PERSONAL NATURE ON HIM.
OH... JUST FISHING.
MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE
ANOTHER TALK WITH HER.
DID I MENTION
THAT TOMORROW'S MY DAY OFF?
IF I KNEW ANYTHING
THAT HAD THE SLIGHTEST BEARING
ON THIS CASE, I WOULD TELL YOU.
UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE
WHY DO I GET THE FEELING YOU'RE
NOT TELLING ME EVERYTHING?
MAYBE YOU'RE JUST EXPERIENCING
GUILT PANGS
BECAUSE YOU RAN OFF
WITHOUT ME THE OTHER DAY.
I WOULDN'T JUST... FORGET.
HERE SHE COMES.
BECAUSE YOU RAN OFF
WITHOUT ME THE OTHER DAY.
I WAS IN THE SERVICE;
I'VE BEEN ON MILITARY BASES.
EVEN THE BIGGER ONES
ARE LIKE SMALL TOWNS.
YOU DON'T THINK
THIS IS EXCITING?
FOLLOWING SUSAN CHANDLER
FROM HER MANICURIST TO HER BANK
TO HER DRY CLEANERS?
WELL, WELL, WELL.
WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
HERE SHE COMES.
EVEN THE BIGGER ONES
ARE LIKE SMALL TOWNS.
EVERYBODY'S GOT
THEIR NOSE STUCK
IN EVERYBODY
ELSE'S BUSINESS.
YOU TELLING ME
YOU NEVER HEARD...?
IF I KNEW ANYTHING
DON'T WORRY, IT'S
PROBABLY JUST THE MAID.
YOU THINK THIS DUMP
HAS A MAID SERVICE?
CAPTAIN DAVIS,
MRS. CHANDLER,
OPEN UP.
IT'S THE POLICE.
CAPTAIN DAVIS,
MRS. CHANDLER,
OPEN UP.
IT'S STEVE SLOAN,
L.A.P.D.
IT'S THE POLICE.
WHO IS IT?
DON'T WORRY, IT'S
PROBABLY JUST THE MAID.
WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS?
WELL, CAN WE COME IN,
OR WOULD YOU PREFER
TO TALK ABOUT THIS
IN PUBLIC?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
IT'S NOT VERY SMART TO, UH, LIE
TO THE POLICE, MRS. CHANDLER.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
WE WANT TO KNOW WHY
YOU LEFT THAT MESSAGE
ON THOMAS' CELL PHONE.
AND WE'D PREFER
THE TRUTH THIS TIME.
ALL RIGHT. THE MESSAGE
IS EASY TO EXPLAIN.
IT WASN'T THE FIRST TIME AROUND.
WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
YOU REALLY DON'T GIVE UP,
DO YOU, LIEUTENANT?
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, CAPTAIN.
WHY DID YOU LIE TO US,
MRS. CHANDLER?
I DON'T THINK THAT'S
ANY MORE YOUR BUSINESS
IT WASN'T THE FIRST TIME AROUND.
OBVIOUSLY, SUSAN AND I
ARE HAVING AN AFFAIR
AND THOMAS FOUND OUT ABOUT IT
OH, SO THE INTREPID
CRIME-FIGHTING DUO
HAS UNCOVERED THE TRUTH.
THE ADJUTANT IS SLEEPING
WITH THE COLONEL'S WIFE...
SUSAN WAS CALLING HIM TO ASK...
TO BEG... NOT TO TELL HIM.
IS IT POSSIBLE
YOU'VE ALREADY DISSUADED HIM?
PERMANENTLY, PERHAPS?
YOU REALLY DON'T GIVE UP,
DO YOU, LIEUTENANT?
WE-WE FELT SAFE AGAIN.
NOW, WHY WOULD WE ELECT TO...
BROADCAST OUR AFFAIR?
OF COURSE, BY NOT DOING SO
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
IT'S NOT VERY SMART TO, UH, LIE
TO THE POLICE, MRS. CHANDLER.
OF COURSE, BY NOT DOING SO
YOU WERE IMPEDING
A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION.
OH, SO THE INTREPID
CRIME-FIGHTING DUO
THAT DOESN'T CHANGE
THE FACTS.
NOR DOES IT CHANGE THE FACT THAT
YOU, WARRANT OFFICE BERNSTEIN
ARE DISOBEYING A DIRECT ORDER
FROM THE BASE COMMANDER.
SO, DO YOU WANT TO TELL
COLONEL CHANDLER
OR SHOULD I?
AND THOMAS FOUND OUT ABOUT IT
AND WAS THREATENING
TO TELL THE COLONEL.
SUSAN WAS CALLING HIM TO ASK...
TO BEG... NOT TO TELL HIM.
GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL,
THOMAS COMMITTED SUICIDE.
HOW AWFULLY CONVENIENT FOR YOU.
CONVENIENT FOR ME,
INCONVENIENT FOR YOU...
THAT DOESN'T CHANGE
THE FACTS.
BLACKMAIL'S A PRETTY STRONG
MOTIVE FOR MURDER.
THERE YOU GO AGAIN,
TALKING ABOUT MURDER.
GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL,
THOMAS COMMITTED SUICIDE.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S
ANY MORE YOUR BUSINESS
THAN IT WAS THOMAS'.
LISTEN, AFTER THOMAS
KILLED HIMSELF
WE-WE FELT SAFE AGAIN.
MY EXPERIENCE?
MOST MATCHES AREN'T.
YOU MUST BE OLDER THAN YOU LOOK.
ARE DISOBEYING A DIRECT ORDER
FROM THE BASE COMMANDER.
SO, DO YOU WANT TO TELL
COLONEL CHANDLER
ANYWAY, I GOT A FEELING
THAT DAVIS IS GOING TO BE
A TOUGH NUT TO CRACK.
I AGREE. WE MIGHT HAVE
BETTER LUCK WITH THE OTHERS.
THE ADJUTANT IS SLEEPING
WITH THE COLONEL'S WIFE...
SCANDALOUS,
DISGRACEFUL.
IRRELEVANT.
OH, I DON'T KNOW, CAPTAIN.
BLACKMAIL'S A PRETTY STRONG
MOTIVE FOR MURDER.
ANYWAY, I GOT A FEELING
I AGREE. WE MIGHT HAVE
BETTER LUCK WITH THE OTHERS.
YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE?
MY FEMALE INTUITION TELLS ME
ROMANSKI MIGHT BE THE WEAK LINK.
LIEUTENANT ROMANSKI,
WE JUST WANT TO
CLEAR THIS THING UP.
A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS,
WE'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE.
YOU HAD AN AFFAIR
WITH CAPTAIN THOMAS...?
I WAS TOLD I DIDN'T HAVE TO
I'LL HAVE YOU PICKED UP
AND BROUGHT IN FOR QUESTIONING.
IT'D BE VERY
INCONVENIENT.
LIEUTENANT ROMANSKI,
WE JUST WANT TO
CLEAR THIS THING UP.
NOT EXACTLY
A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN.
MY EXPERIENCE?
MOST MATCHES AREN'T.
YEAH. MY FIRST HUSBAND DIED...
IN BOSNIA.
I'M SORRY.
BUT BEFORE HE WAS TRANSFERRED
OVERSEAS
HE SERVED IN THE SAME BATTALION
AS CAPTAIN THOMAS...
IF THAT'S WHAT
YOU'RE IMPLYING.
I BARELY KNEW HANK
BEFORE MY HUSBAND DIED.
WAS CAPTAIN THOMAS THE BATTALION
PERSONNEL OFFICER BACK THEN?
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO
WITH HANK'S SUICIDE?
YOU HAD AN AFFAIR
WITH CAPTAIN THOMAS...?
I TOLD YOU THAT WE WERE ENGAGED.
ACCORDING TO YOUR 2-O-1 FILE
MY FEMALE INTUITION TELLS ME
ROMANSKI MIGHT BE THE WEAK LINK.
LEAD ON, McDUFF?
THE NEXT TIME
YOU QUESTION ME?
I'M GOING TO WANT
A LAWYER PRESENT.
I WAS TOLD I DIDN'T HAVE TO
TALK TO YOU, OKAY?
ON BASE, MAYBE.
BUT THE SECOND
YOU WALK OFF THIS BASE
I'LL HAVE YOU PICKED UP
AND BROUGHT IN FOR QUESTIONING.
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO
WITH HANK'S SUICIDE?
ISN'T IT POSSIBLE
THAT CAPTAIN THOMAS
WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR HAVING YOUR
HUSBAND TRANSFERRED TO BOSNIA?
I THINK THAT'S MORE THAN
A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
WELL, THAT WENT WELL.
WELL, I WAS DOING FINE.
HE SERVED IN THE SAME BATTALION
AS CAPTAIN THOMAS...
ISN'T THAT CORRECT?
YES, BUT WE WEREN'T HAVING
AN AFFAIR THEN
IF THAT'S WHAT
YOU'RE IMPLYING.
ACCORDING TO YOUR 2-O-1 FILE
YOU WERE MARRIED
TO SOMEONE ELSE.
YEAH. MY FIRST HUSBAND DIED...
IN BOSNIA.
I KNOW, I KNOW.
WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT YOU, ALEX.
I MEAN, YOU CAN'T KEEP THIS UP...
NO MATTER HOW TIRED YOU ARE.
SOMEBODY'S GOING TO GET HURT OR
YOU'RE GOING TO HURT YOURSELF.
I'M UP, I'M UP.
ALEX, YOU MISSED
YOUR ROUNDS.
I'M SORRY.
CAN HAVE DISASTROUS
CONSEQUENCES.
AS A DOCTOR,
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
IS TO YOUR PATIENTS,
NO MATTER HOW TIRED YOU ARE.
I THINK THAT'S MORE THAN
A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
AND DESPITE YOUR THREATS,
LIEUTENANT SLOAN
THE NEXT TIME
YOU QUESTION ME?
IS TO YOUR PATIENTS,
NO MATTER HOW TIRED YOU ARE.
I KNOW, I KNOW.
AND COMING BACK LATER.
OH, I'D HATE TO SEE YOU
DO THAT.
I MEAN, ONCE YOU'RE OUT, IT'S
HARD TO COME BACK, BELIEVE ME.
WELL, I WAS DOING FINE.
YOU KNOW,
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT
DROPPING OUT FOR A WHILE
SAVING SOME MONEY
AND COMING BACK LATER.
I MEAN, ONCE YOU'RE OUT, IT'S
HARD TO COME BACK, BELIEVE ME.
THERE MUST BE
SOMETHING ELSE WE CAN DO.
ME WITH MY OLD
M.A.S.H. UNIT IN KOREA.
I'M SORRY.
YOU KNOW, MISSING ROUNDS
CAN HAVE DISASTROUS
CONSEQUENCES.
WHY?
CAN YOU TELL ME
WHAT IT WAS LIKE?
SOMETHING ELSE WE CAN DO.
YOU KNOW, DR. BENTLEY
MENTIONED SOMETHING
AND I DIDN'T GIVE IT
MUCH THOUGHT
BUT...
ME WITH MY OLD
M.A.S.H. UNIT IN KOREA.
I WAS BARELY OLDER
THAN YOU ARE RIGHT NOW.
WAS IT... ROUGH?
SOMEBODY'S GOING TO GET HURT OR
YOU'RE GOING TO HURT YOURSELF.
YOU KNOW,
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT
WELL, BEING IN BATTLEFIELD
CONDITIONS
TREATING THOSE KIND
OF INJURIES.
I MEAN, HOW'D YOU KNOW
YOU COULD HANDLE IT?
YOU DON'T.
SCARED TO DEATH.
OH, I GOT INTRODUCED
TO MYSELF OVER THERE.
I LEARNED SELF-DISCIPLINE,
THOUGH.
YOU DON'T.
I KNOW SOME OF THEM COULDN'T.
HAD TO BE SENT HOME.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
SCARED TO DEATH.
HOW?
OH, YOU SEE A WIDER RANGE
OF ILLNESSES AND INJURIES
WITH A LOT LESS TO WORK WITH
THAN YOU DO IN
A CIVILIAN HOSPITAL.
WERE YOU IN THE ARMY?
YEAH. SO WAS STEVE.
WHY?
I FELT I WAS CONTRIBUTING
SOMETHING, YOU KNOW?
I LIKED THAT, TOO.
BUT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE WAY
IT WAS FOR ME.
YOU GOT TO FIND OUT
FOR YOURSELF, ALEX.
SO, THAT'S STEVE
IN VIETNAM, HUH?
I LEARNED SELF-DISCIPLINE,
THOUGH.
I THINK IT MADE ME
A BETTER DOCTOR.
HOW?
WAS IT... ROUGH?
HOW DO YOU MEAN?
WELL, BEING IN BATTLEFIELD
CONDITIONS
WITH THE HAIR AND THE UNIFORMS,
THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE.
YEAH, THEY DO, DON'T THEY?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ALEX.
NO, THAT'S STEVE.
GOSH, HOW CAN YOU TELL?
WITH THE HAIR AND THE UNIFORMS,
THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ALEX.
AT FIRST I DIDN'T SEE IT.
SO, THAT'S STEVE
IN VIETNAM, HUH?
YEAH... WITH HIS PLATOON
ON HIS FIRST TOUR.
THAT THEY KEPT THEIR HATS ON
THE WHOLE TIME
AND THEY NEVER TOOK
THEIR SUNGLASSES OFF
BUT I FIGURED THAT WAS
JUST MILITARY MACHO.
THAN YOU DO IN
A CIVILIAN HOSPITAL.
LEARNED A LOT.
I FELT I WAS CONTRIBUTING
SOMETHING, YOU KNOW?
BUT I FIGURED THAT WAS
JUST MILITARY MACHO.
GREAT. ANYTHING ELSE?
WHEN I SHOWED THEM
TO THE TABLE, ONE OF THEM
SAID, "SIT DOWN"
I THINK WITH ALL THREE
OF THEM LOOKING SO MUCH ALIKE
IT WOULD BE EASY
IN THE CONFUSION
FOR THE WITNESSES
TO MAKE A MISTAKE.
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
IS THAT STEVE?
NO, THAT'S STEVE.
AT FIRST I DIDN'T SEE IT.
IT WAS SOMETHING
THAT ALEX SAID BEFORE.
JESSE, DO YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING
ABOUT THE THREE MARINES
WHEN THEY FIRST CAME IN?
EXACTLY, THEY ALL LOOKED ALIKE.
THEY DID,
THEY ALL LOOKED ALIKE.
HEY, STEVE, YOU AND AMANDA
AND HANNAH COME OVER HERE
AND SIT WHERE THE THREE MARINES
WERE SITTING.
I DID. ONE OF THEM ASKED
FOR THREE SPECIALS.
WHICH ONE SAID WHAT?
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, STEVE,
I COULDN'T TELL YOU.
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW TO PROVE IT?
NO...
GOT TO BE A WAY, THOUGH.
THEY ALL WERE IN UNIFORM.
THE SHORT HAIR,
THE SUNGLASSES...
EXACTLY, THEY ALL LOOKED ALIKE.
WHEN THEY FIRST CAME IN?
LIKE WHAT?
DID THEY SAY ANYTHING ODD
OR ACT STRANGELY?
WELL, I THOUGHT IT WAS WEIRD
THAT THEY KEPT THEIR HATS ON
THE WHOLE TIME
OKAY, WE'LL JUST DO
A RUN-THROUGH HERE.
I'LL BE THE SHOOTER...
THE LEFT-HANDED SHOOTER.
OKAY, LET'S JUST SEE
WHAT DEVELOPS HERE.
AND SIT WHERE THE THREE MARINES
WERE SITTING.
OH, COME ON, DAD.
I THINK I KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
SIT HERE, AND, JESSE
TO THE TABLE, ONE OF THEM
SAID, "SIT DOWN"
SORT OF LIKE
A COMMAND.
WHO TOOK THE ORDER?
I DID. ONE OF THEM ASKED
FOR THREE SPECIALS.
EVERYBODY OUT!
WHOA! JUST TAKE IT
EASY, OKAY?
MOVE!
HANK, DON'T DO THIS, PLEASE.
OKAY, LET'S JUST SEE
WHAT DEVELOPS HERE.
WE'LL TALK TO HIM,
PLEASE!
GO PULL THE BLINDS.
OKAY... OKAY, LOOK,
I-I-I'M SHUTTING
THE BLINDS, OKAY?
AND NOW I NEED YOU
TO DO SOMETHING
FOR ME, OKAY?
SIT HERE, AND, JESSE
YOU STAY
BY THE REGISTER
WHERE YOU WERE.
OKAY, WE'LL JUST DO
A RUN-THROUGH HERE.
THEY CHANGED NAME TAGS...
THOMAS FOR DAVIS.
I'M GONNA MAKE YOU SORRY
FOR WHAT YOU DID!
YOU'RE THREATENING
PEOPLE.
GET OUT OF HERE NOW,
OR I KILL THEM ALL!
YOU'RE MAKING IT
WORSE. GO OUTSIDE.
WE'LL TALK TO HIM,
PLEASE!
Mark: OK, THREE IDENTICAL
MARINES AT THE TABLE,
AND ANOTHER ONE COMING IN AT THE
DOOR.
EVERYBODY OUT!
WE COULD WORK THIS OUT...
JUST PUT THE GUN DOWN.
THE TWO OF YOU,
JUST LEAVE,
NOW!
I-I-I CAN'T LEAVE WHILE
YOU'RE THREATENING
PEOPLE.
HANK, DON'T DO THIS, PLEASE.
SIT DOWN!
PLEASE, HANK.
SHUT UP!
WH-WHY DON'T YOU
JUST PUT THE GUN
DOWN, OKAY?
GO PULL THE BLINDS.
SO, AS SOON AS JESSE
AND ALEX ARE OUT THE DOOR
AND NOW I NEED YOU
TO DO SOMETHING
FOR ME, OKAY?
I GOT SOMETHING
TO SETTLE.
WE COULD WORK THIS OUT...
JUST PUT THE GUN DOWN.
I'M GONNA MAKE YOU SORRY
FOR WHAT YOU DID!
Mark:
AND THEN, RAISING
THE GUN AT AN ANGLE
TO MAKE THE WOUND
LOOK SELF-INFLICTED
DAVIS SHOT THOMAS.
AND REPORT THAT THOMAS
HAS COMMITTED SUICIDE.
SO YOU THINK THOMAS
WAS AT THE TABLE
THE WHOLE TIME?
I THINK WITH ALL THREE
OF THEM LOOKING SO MUCH ALIKE
AND MARTINELLI AND ROMANSKI
HELP HIM GET THINGS ALL SET.
THEN THEY CALL OUT
ON DAVIS' PHONE
AND REPORT THAT THOMAS
HAS COMMITTED SUICIDE.
NO. THERE WAS NOTHING
IN THE BLOOD TOXICOLOGY.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW
THEY DID IT OR WHY THEY DID IT
SO, AS SOON AS JESSE
AND ALEX ARE OUT THE DOOR
AND CAN'T SEE
WHAT'S GOING ON
THE MARINES STOOD THOMAS UP.
THEY CHANGED NAME TAGS...
THOMAS FOR DAVIS.
DAVIS SHOT THOMAS.
SO THEN, DAVIS DROPS THE GUN
ON THE FLOOR
AND MARTINELLI AND ROMANSKI
HELP HIM GET THINGS ALL SET.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW
THEY DID IT OR WHY THEY DID IT
BUT I AM WILLING TO BET
THAT THAT'S THE WAY IT HAPPENED.
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW TO PROVE IT?
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
HOW COULD THEY GET SOMEONE
TO COOPERATE LIKE THAT?
MAYBE HE WAS DRUGGED.
NO. THERE WAS NOTHING
IN THE BLOOD TOXICOLOGY.
THAT'S WHAT THE THREE
OF YOU WANTED EVERYONE TO THINK
BUT THAT'S ALL
FALLING APART NOW.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
NO, MA'AM.
WHAT ABOUT CAPTAIN DAVIS
OR LIEUTENANT ROMANSKI?
WHY WOULD THEY
WANT TO KILL ME?
GLAD I'M NOT IN YOUR SHOES,
LIEUTENANT.
A FALLING-OUT AMONG THIEVES
IS NEVER PRETTY.
YOU'VE MADE SOME
MISTAKE, MA'AM.
I'M THE VICTIM HERE.
YOU'RE SURE ABOUT THIS?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
I THOUGHT I WAS HERE
BECAUSE SOMEBODY SHOT AT ME.
WHY ARE YOU QUESTIONING ME
ABOUT THOMAS' SUICIDE?
BECAUSE THEY'RE CONNECTED.
FORGIVE ME FOR SAYING
SO, BUT THAT'S CRAZY.
WHOSE IDEA WAS IT
TO KILL THOMAS?
CAPTAIN THOMAS
COMMITTED SUICIDE, MA'AM.
THAT'S WHAT THE THREE
WHY WAS CAPTAIN DAVIS
SO CONCERNED
ABOUT A SIMPLE
STALKING CASE?
SURELY YOU
COULD HAVE HANDLED IT.
I'M THE VICTIM HERE.
SOMEBODY TRIED
TO KILL ME.
AND YOU HAVE
NO IDEA WHO?
NO, MA'AM.
YOU'RE SURE ABOUT THIS?
JAG CONSIDERS HER ONE
OF THEIR TOP LAWYERS.
GLAD I'M NOT IN YOUR SHOES,
LIEUTENANT.
BECAUSE THEY'RE CONNECTED.
YOU KNOW IT, AND I KNOW IT.
WHY WAS CAPTAIN DAVIS
SO CONCERNED
YOU ORIGINALLY SAID THAT
YOU
ASKED FOR THE MEETING
WITH CAPTAIN DAVIS
TO SEEK HIS ADVICE.
I DID, BUT...
CAPTAIN DAVIS
HAD ALREADY ASKED ME
TO KEEP HIM APPRISED
OF THE SITUATION.
I DON'T THINK
THERE EVER WAS ANY STALKING.
WHY WOULD THEY
WANT TO KILL ME?
YOU MIGHT BE
THE WEAK LINK
IN THE MURDER
OF CAPTAIN THOMAS.
FORGIVE ME FOR SAYING
SO, BUT THAT'S CRAZY.
CALLED HUNKY'S?
EXCUSE ME?
IT'S A SIMPLE QUESTION.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
TO A BAR CALLED HUNKY'S?
I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK THOMAS THREATENED
TO RUIN CAPTAIN DAVIS
BY EXPOSING HIS AFFAIR
AND DAVIS TURNED
TO YOU FOR HELP.
AND WHY WOULD
HE DO THAT, MA'AM?
YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS.
THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE
ASKING HIM ABOUT.
I THOUGHT IT WAS PERTINENT
TO THE INVESTIGATION.
ANY PROBLEMS HE MIGHT HAVE...
AN ARREST FOR MARIJUANA,
FOR EXAMPLE...
WHICH MIGHT MAKE YOU WILLING
TO GO IN ON A PLOT
SURELY YOU
COULD HAVE HANDLED IT.
CAPTAIN DAVIS WAS AWARE
OF THE REPORTS.
HE ASKED ME ABOUT THEM.
YOU ORIGINALLY SAID THAT
YOU
ASKED FOR THE MEETING
WHICH MIGHT MAKE YOU WILLING
TO GO IN ON A PLOT
WITH CAPTAIN DAVIS
AND LIEUTENANT ROMANSKI.
THERE IS NO PLOT, MA'AM.
I DON'T KNOW.
I COULDN'T SAY THAT I HAVE.
IT'S A WELL KNOWN
GAY BAR, ISN'T IT?
I HAVE A REPORT THAT SAYS
THAT YOU'VE BEEN THERE OFTEN.
I DON'T THINK
THERE EVER WAS ANY STALKING.
I THINK THOMAS THREATENED
TO RUIN CAPTAIN DAVIS
THAT MIGHT SUGGEST
THAT YOU WERE GAY
AND YOU DIDN'T WANT IT FOUND OUT
HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO FORCE YOU
INTO COVERING UP
ANY PROBLEMS HE MIGHT HAVE...
AND WHY WOULD
HE DO THAT, MA'AM?
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
TO A BAR IN CALABASAS
CALLED HUNKY'S?
WITH ALL DUE
RESPECT, MA'AM
I DON'T BELIEVE
YOU'RE ALLOWED
TO ASK ME A QUESTION
LIKE THAT.
BUT, AS YOU WELL KNOW
TECHNICALLY YOU ARE NOT
MY RANKING OFFICER.
I REPORT TO MY
OWN INDEPENDENT
CHAIN OF COMMAND.
THERE IS NO PLOT, MA'AM.
THEN WHY DID THEY
TRY TO KILL YOU?
I WANT TO SEE YOU, NOW.
I HAVE A REPORT THAT SAYS
THAT YOU'VE BEEN THERE OFTEN.
YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS.
I'M NOT ASKING IF YOU'RE GAY.
ALL I'M SUGGESTING
IS THAT IF SOMEONE...
SAY CAPTAIN THOMAS... HAD PROOF
THAT MIGHT SUGGEST
THAT YOU WERE GAY
I THOUGHT IT WAS PERTINENT
TO THE INVESTIGATION.
WITH ALL DUE
RESPECT, MA'AM
YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN
TO ME WHAT YOU'RE DOING?
MY JOB.
YOU FILED YOUR FINAL REPORT,
WARRANT OFFICER.
TO ASK ME A QUESTION
LIKE THAT.
LIKE WHAT?
I'M NOT ASKING IF YOU'RE GAY.
AND IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
THAT, I SUGGEST YOU TAKE IT UP
WITH MY SUPERIORS
IN WASHINGTON.
EXCUSE US, COLONEL.
YOU FILED YOUR FINAL REPORT,
WARRANT OFFICER.
CAPTAIN THOMAS
COMMITTED SUICIDE.
COLONEL, IT IS
CUSTOM AND PRACTICE
EXCUSE US, COLONEL.
WE HAVE WORK TO DO.
AM I BEING CHARGED, COMMANDER?
COLONEL, IT IS
CUSTOM AND PRACTICE
FOR AN N.I.S. OFFICER
TO KEEP A BASE COMMANDER
FULLY INFORMED ON
ANY INVESTIGATION.
BUT, AS YOU WELL KNOW
AM I BEING CHARGED, COMMANDER?
NOT YET, LIEUTENANT.
THEN I'D LIKE
TO BE ALLOWED
TO RETURN
TO MY POST...
MA'AM.
I WANT TO SEE YOU, NOW.
BEFORE YOU COME BACK TO US.
DISMISSED.
I THOUGHT WE HAD HIM
FOR A MINUTE.
UH, COMMANDER
MACPHERSON.
I THOUGHT WE HAD HIM
FOR A MINUTE.
YOU PAGED ME?
YES, I RAN
THE SECOND
TOXICOLOGY
ON THOMAS' BLOOD.
I REPORT TO MY
OWN INDEPENDENT
CHAIN OF COMMAND.
IT IS MY PREROGATIVE
TO REOPEN THIS CASE
AND IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
THAT, I SUGGEST YOU TAKE IT UP
I WAS WONDERING IF YOU'D TALK
TO A YOUNG FRIEND OF MINE.
SURE.
IT CAUSES A SEMI-HYPNOTIC STATE
CAUSING SUGGESTIBILITY
AND COMPLIANCE.
IT'S ODORLESS,
COLORLESS
AND TASTELESS,
BUT MORE TO THE POINT
ON THOMAS' BLOOD.
BUT IT STILL TESTED
NEGATIVE FOR DRUGS.
YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH ROHYPNOL.
MA'AM.
FINE.
JUST DON'T END UP DEAD
BEFORE YOU COME BACK TO US.
YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH ROHYPNOL.
THE, UH, DATE-RAPE DRUG.
EXACTLY.
IT CAUSES A SEMI-HYPNOTIC STATE
AND THEY TESTED POSITIVE
FOR ROHYPNOL.
OH... GOOD WORK.
VERY GOOD.
AND MADE TO SIT DOWN
QUIETLY WITH THE OTHERS.
BUT COMPLIANT
ENOUGH TO STAND
WHILE DAVIS
SHOT HIM.
BUT HOW DO WE PROVE IT?
I SAID THE ROHYPNOL'S
OUT OF THE BLOOD IN TWO HOURS.
UH, COMMANDER
MACPHERSON.
DO YOU HAVE
ANOTHER MOMENT?
YEAH. WHAT CAN I DO
FOR YOU, DR. SLOAN?
I WAS WONDERING IF YOU'D TALK
TO A YOUNG FRIEND OF MINE.
AND TASTELESS,
BUT MORE TO THE POINT
ITS EFFECTS LAST
FOR SIX TO EIGHT HOURS
BUT IT'S COMPLETELY
OUT OF THE
BLOOD IN TWO.
HE WAS SHOT, HE WOULD
HAVE BEEN SUSCEPTIBLE
STILL WHEN HE WAS BROUGHT
TO BARBECUE BOB.
AND MADE TO SIT DOWN
QUIETLY WITH THE OTHERS.
NOW, WHEN HE WAS SHOT,
HIS BLADDER VOIDED.
I WENT ON A HUNCH
AND I TESTED
THE STAINS
AND THEY TESTED POSITIVE
FOR ROHYPNOL.
THESE ARE THOMAS'
UNIFORM TROUSERS.
NOW, WHEN HE WAS SHOT,
HIS BLADDER VOIDED.
OH, SO IT'S A MURDER NOW.
Steve:
ALWAYS HAS BEEN.
OH, YOU MADE A NICE TRY
AT COVERING IT UP
BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK.
NOW, YOUR REFUSAL
TO BE SATISFIED
IS VERGING ON HARASSMENT.
CAPTAIN DAVIS
YOU'RE IN THE MILITARY
AND ARE SUBJECT
TO AS MUCH HARASSMENT
OUT OF THE
BLOOD IN TWO.
SO IF THOMAS
WAS GIVEN ROHYPNOL
OVER TWO HOURS BEFORE
HE WAS SHOT, HE WOULD
HAVE BEEN SUSCEPTIBLE
YOUR AFFAIR AND RUIN
YOUR CHANCES OF PROMOTION.
AND I SUPPOSE
LIEUTENANT MARTINELLI
AND LIEUTENANT ROMANSKI
JUST WENT ALONG WITH ME
AND ARE SUBJECT
TO AS MUCH HARASSMENT
AS WE DEEM FIT TO DISH OUT
ESPECIALLY DURING
A MURDER INVESTIGATION.
OH, SO IT'S A MURDER NOW.
I SAID THE ROHYPNOL'S
OUT OF THE BLOOD IN TWO HOURS.
HOWEVER, IT REMAINS
IN THE URINE FOR UP TO 12.
AS FOR LIEUTENANT ROMANSKI,
WE'RE STILL CHECKING
BUT WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE
THAT THOMAS WAS INSTRUMENTAL
IN HAVING HER FIRST HUSBAND
SENT OVERSEAS, WHERE HE DIED.
AND LIEUTENANT ROMANSKI
JUST WENT ALONG WITH ME
OUT OF THE GOODNESS
OF THEIR HEARTS.
THOMAS KNEW
THAT MARTINELLI WAS GAY,
AND THE LIEUTENANT GOT TIRED
TRACES OF THE DRUG
YOU USED TO DOPE THOMAS
WERE FOUND IN HIS URINE
AND WE THINK
WE KNOW YOUR MOTIVES.
VERY GOOD.
I'VE TOLD YOU REPEATEDLY WHAT
HAPPENED IN THAT RESTAURANT.
NOW, YOUR REFUSAL
TO BE SATISFIED
IT'S A HYDROCORTISONE CREAM
USED TO TREAT SEVERE ECZEMA.
WELL, IN THIS CASE,
DISHYDROTIC ECZEMA.
AND THEN SHOT HIM IN THE HEAD.
YES.
IN HAVING HER FIRST HUSBAND
SENT OVERSEAS, WHERE HE DIED.
SO YOU THINK
I IMPERSONATED DAVIS
AND THEN SHOT HIM IN THE HEAD.
ANY TRACES OF FLOUROCINOLONE?
FLOUROCINOLONE?
IT'S A HYDROCORTISONE CREAM
USED TO TREAT SEVERE ECZEMA.
AND WE THINK
WE KNOW YOUR MOTIVES.
OH, WHAT WOULD THOSE BE?
THOMAS WAS GOING
TO REVEAL
YOUR AFFAIR AND RUIN
YOUR CHANCES OF PROMOTION.
ANY SKIN FLAKES?
Steve:
NO.
ANY TRACES OF FLOUROCINOLONE?
DID YOU FIND
ANY FINGERPRINTS ON THE GUN?
ONLY THOMAS'.
ANY SKIN FLAKES?
THAT MARTINELLI WAS GAY,
AND THE LIEUTENANT GOT TIRED
OF HAVING THAT
HELD OVER HIS HEAD.
AS FOR LIEUTENANT ROMANSKI,
WE'RE STILL CHECKING
SO GIVE IT UP.
IT WAS A SUICIDE.
AND CREAM
ON THE GUN GRIPS.
I CAN'T GET RID OF THIS STUFF
AND IF I HAD SHOT THOMAS,
THERE'D BE SKIN FLAKES
AND CREAM
DID YOU FIND
ANY FINGERPRINTS ON THE GUN?
WE KNOW HE WASN'T
USING IT THAT WAY
BUT KNOWING AND PROVING
ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
TOOK THE OLD .45 OUT
TO THE RANGE TODAY, HUH?
AND WITHOUT PROOF,
IT'S ALL JUST A BLUFF.
HE WAS RIGHT
ABOUT THE ROHYPNOL, TOO.
YOU TAKE IT
AS A SEDATIVE, LIKE VALIUM.
WE KNOW HE WASN'T
USING IT THAT WAY
I KEEP THINKING ABOUT DAVIS
AND THE SMUG LOOK ON HIS FACE
WHEN HE HELD HIS HANDS UP.
WE ALMOST HAD HIM.
AND WITHOUT PROOF,
IT'S ALL JUST A BLUFF.
A GOOD WAY TO
BLOW OFF STEAM.
YOU KNOW, THOMAS AND THE OTHERS
WERE OUT AT THE MILITARY RANGE
BEFORE THEY CAME
TO BARBECUE BOB.
WELL, IN THIS CASE,
DISHYDROTIC ECZEMA.
CAUGHT IT AT CAMP LEJEUNE.
SEE, EVEN WITH
THE FLOUROCINOLONE
WE'VE BEEN TALKING
TO CAPTAIN DAVIS.
WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?
WELL, WE REALLY EXPECTED
WE'D HAVE TO GET ONE OF YOU
TO BREAK BEFORE
WE COULD PROVE
YOU WERE INVOLVED
IN THIS CONSPIRACY
I KEEP THINKING ABOUT DAVIS
AND THE SMUG LOOK ON HIS FACE
BEFORE THEY CAME
TO BARBECUE BOB.
YEAH, IS THAT IMPORTANT?
I GOT AN IDEA
IT COULD BE VERY IMPORTANT.
COME TO MAKE
SOME MORE ACCUSATIONS
BASED ON YOUR
UNPROVABLE THEORIES?
WE'VE BEEN TALKING
TO CAPTAIN DAVIS.
DO YOU EXPECT ME
TO BREAK DOWN AND CONFESS?
YOU GUYS
ARE RIDICULOUS.
THOMAS' PRINTS WERE
ON THE OUTSIDE OF HIS GUN.
TOOK THE OLD .45 OUT
TO THE RANGE TODAY, HUH?
YEAH.
A GOOD WAY TO
BLOW OFF STEAM.
THOMAS' PRINTS WERE
ON THE OUTSIDE OF HIS GUN.
SO?
WELL, SOMEBODY HAD
TO RELOAD THOMAS' GUN
WHEN YOU LEFT THE FIRING RANGE
AND YOUR FINGERPRINTS
WERE ALL OVER THE MAGAZINE
AND THE BULLETS.
I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.
YOU WERE INVOLVED
IN THIS CONSPIRACY
BUT THEN IT BECAME UNNECESSARY.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WELL, I HAD THE DYNAMICS OF THIS
SITUATION A LITTLE BIT WRONG.
WHY DID YOU GO ALONG WITH IT?
HE SENT MY HUSBAND
TO BOSNIA, WHERE HE WAS KILLED.
I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.
SHUT UP.
ROBERT AND DAVIS PLANNED IT.
LOOK, DAVIS KNEW
HE WOULD LOSE
HE SENT MY HUSBAND
TO BOSNIA, WHERE HE WAS KILLED.
I MEAN...
HE-HE TOLD ME ABOUT IT
WHEN I BROKE UP WITH HIM
AND, AND THEN
HE BRAGGED ABOUT IT.
HE ONLY DID IT
SO HE COULD HAVE ME.
I HATED HIM.
WELL, I HAD THE DYNAMICS OF THIS
SITUATION A LITTLE BIT WRONG.
DAVIS DIDN'T SHOOT THOMAS.
YOU DID.
DO YOU EXPECT ME
TO BREAK DOWN AND CONFESS?
I HATED HIM.
JEAN, SHUT YOUR MOUTH.
He's bluffing.
Just keep your mouth shut
AND IT'S GOING TO BE
THEIR WORD
AGAINST OURS.
SMILE.
HE'S ON THE MOVE. LET'S GO.
LOOK, DAVIS KNEW
HE WOULD LOSE
THE PROMOTION
IF HIS AFFAIR CAME OUT.
WHY DID YOU GO ALONG WITH IT?
OH, FUNNY.
NOT BAD FOR AN ARMY GUY.
SMILE.
YOU'RE ON
CANDID CAMERA.
DID YOU GET IT ALL?
I MIGHT EVEN GET
YOU A SEGMENT
ON AMERICA'S SLOPPIET
POLICE CHASES.
OH, FUNNY.
THIS IS
A BIG STEP.
I KNOW. THAT'S WHY
I WANT ALL YOUR SUPPORT.
I'M SURE YOU'RE
DOING THE RIGHT THING.
WELL, AFTER
I'M SWORN IN
FOUR YEARS OF SERVICE.
UNTIL THEN, I'LL BE ENROLLED
IN THE ROTC PROGRAM.
MM.
NOT BAD FOR AN ARMY GUY.
SURE YOU WANT
US ALL HERE?
OF COURSE I DO.
YOU GUYS
ARE MY FAMILY.
THIS IS
A BIG STEP.
WHY WORRY ABOUT
WHO SHOT AT MARTINELLI?
'CAUSE THIS TIME
THEIR ALIBIS ARE REAL.
HANNAH...
WE'LL BE RIGHT IN.
NICE JOB.
YEAH, IT WAS,
WASN'T IT?
DID YOU GET IT ALL?
THE CONSTITUTION
OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA AND PROTECT HER
AGAINST ALL ENEMIES
I DO.
I DID SOME CHECKING.
BOTH DAVIS AND ROMANSKI
HAVE SOLID ALIBIS
FOR THE NIGHT
MARTINELLI
WAS SHOT AT.
HANNAH...
AN INVESTIGATOR THAT,
UH... WASN'T VERY GOOD
OR DIDN'T BELIEVE IN HERSELF
MIGHT HAVE TO STOOP
WELL, AFTER
I'M SWORN IN
THE NAVY WILL PAY FOR ME
TO FINISH MEDICAL SCHOOL
AND THEN, AFTERWARDS,
I'LL OWE THEM
FOUR YEARS OF SERVICE.
COME ON, THEY'RE
WAITING ON US.
Alex:
HERE WE GO.
Macpherson:
AND YOU SWEAR TO UPHOLD
THE CONSTITUTION
OF THE UNITED STATES
MIGHT HAVE TO STOOP
TO TRICKS LIKE THAT
TO FORCE A CONFESSION
BUT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO.
FOR THE NIGHT
MARTINELLI
WAS SHOT AT.
THEY'VE ALL CONFESSED
TO THE MURDER.
WHY WORRY ABOUT
WHO SHOT AT MARTINELLI?
MIGHT HAVE TO STOOP
TO TRICKS LIKE THAT
TO FORCE A CONFESSION
BUT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO.
YOU'RE TOO GOOD, HANNAH.
I DO.
WELCOME TO THE
NAVY, CADET.
THANK YOU.
ALEX?
ALEX!
HEY!
HI.
YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE
A SLEEP DISORDER UNIT
AT THE HOSPITAL.
I'M FINE.
OH, I'M SORRY.
EVERYBODY OUT!
NOW!
WHOA. HEY.
JUST TAKE IT EASY, OKAY?
MOVE!
HANK, DON'T DO THIS.
SIT DOWN.
PLEASE, HANK.
SHUT UP!
JUST GIVE ME
THE GUN, OKAY?
WHY DON'T YOU
GO GET THE BLINDS.
I WANT YOU TO PUT
THE GUN DOWN, OKAY?
I GOT SOMETHING TO SETTLE.
OKAY, LOOK,
WE CAN...
WE CAN WORK
THIS OUT, OKAY.
W-WE, YOU...
PUT THE GUN DOWN.
LIEUTENANT ROBERT
MARTINELLI.
THIS IS MY FATHER,
DR. MARK SLOAN.
HE'S A CONSULTANT
WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
WHAT HAPPENED?
I'LL KILL THEM ALL.
LOOK, YOU'RE
MAKING IT WORSE.
GO OUTSIDE.
WE'LL TALK TO
HIM,
PLEASE.
Gunman:
I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU SORRY
FOR WHAT YOU DID!
911.
WHEN HE CAME IN,
HE FIRED A SHOT
INTO THE CEILING
AND THEN ORDERED
EVERYBODY TO LEAVE.
EVERYBODY EXCEPT
THE THREE MARINES
THAT WERE HERE
AT THE TABLE.
CAPTAIN
PAUL DAVIS
LIEUTENANT
JEAN ROMANSKI
BUT I...
H-HE WAS
IT WAS...
WELL, HE SCARED ME,
AND I...
I FINALLY TALKED
TO LIEUTENANT
MARTINELLI ABOUT IT.
ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO.
WELL, AFTER THAT
HE... HE JUST STARTED
STALKING ME.
IT WAS...
THE DECEASED IS
A CAPTAIN HANK THOMAS.
HE'S ATTACHED TO
THE MALIBU POINT
MARINE AIR STATION.
APPARENTLY
SHOT HIMSELF.
DEATH WAS INSTANTANEOUS.
ANYBODY ELSE HURT?
Jesse:
NO.
WHEN HE CAME IN,
HE FIRED A SHOT
INTO THE CEILING
THERE'S NOTHING REALLY
LIEUTENANT MARTINELLI
COULD HAVE DONE.
HE DID ASK TO MEET WITH ME
ABOUT THE SITUATION.
THAT'S WHY
WE WERE ALL HERE.
WHY NOT?
LOOK, WE CAN DO THIS
BY BRAILLE, OR YOU
CAN ACTUALLY TALK TO ME
AND HELP ME GET
TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.
DID YOU ARREST HIM?
IT WASN'T THAT EASY.
WHY NOT?
WHAT HAPPENED?
SAID HE WAS GOING
TO MAKE US ALL SORRY...
PUT A GUN TO HIS HEAD,
PULLED THE TRIGGER.
RESIDUE TEST
ON YOU.
IN FACT, I'LL HAVE
TO TEST YOU ALL.
THAT'S OKAY, BUT YOU
SHOULD KNOW, WE'RE ALL
COVERED
IN RESIDUE.
WE WERE AT THE RANGE
THIS MORNING...
BUT I...
H-HE WAS
SO JEALOUS
ALL THE TIME, YOU KNOW.
I-I COULDN'T LIVE
WITH HIS ACCUSATIONS
AND I-I JUST...
I HAD TO BREAK IT OFF.
WHEN DID YOU DO THAT?
ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO.
TO DEFUSE THE SITUATION.
I JUST... I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE
HE KILLED HIMSELF.
Amanda:
JESSE, ALEX,
I'M SORRY.
I'LL HAVE
TO CONDUCT
A GUN CHECK
RESIDUE TEST
ON YOU.
I FINALLY TALKED
TO LIEUTENANT
MARTINELLI ABOUT IT.
YOU'RE WITH
THE MILITARY POLICE?
THAT'S RIGHT.
DID YOU ARREST HIM?
THIS IS A NAVY INVESTIGATION...
I'LL TAKE OVER.
NICE TRY, BUT THIS ONE
BELONGS TO THE L.A.P.D.
YOU'RE ONLY
MAKING WORK
FOR YOURSELF,
DETECTIVE.
NOT OFF BASE.
WITHIN THE CITY,
IT'S L.A.P.D. JURISDICTION.
THERE WERE NO CIVILIANS KILLED
OR WOUNDED...
NO, BUT...
AND HELP ME GET
TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.
HANK WAS ALWAYS CAREFUL
TO MAKE SURE
THERE WERE NO WITNESSES.
THERE'S NOTHING REALLY
LIEUTENANT MARTINELLI
COULD HAVE DONE.
LIEUTENANT SLOAN?
HANNAH BERNSTEIN, N.I.S.
I UNDERSTAND SOME OF OUR PEOPLE
ARE INVOLVED IN A SITUATION.
UH, ST SLOA.
THAT'S WHY
WE WERE ALL HERE.
I'M THE ADJUTANT
TO COLONEL CHANDLER.
CHANDLER'S YOUR C.O.?
THAT'S RIGHT.
NOW, LIEUTENANT MARTINELLI
HAD BRIEFED ME
ON THE SITUATION.
I WAS HOPING...
WELL, WE WERE ALL HOPING
WE COULD FIND
SOME WAY
TO DEFUSE THE SITUATION.
ABOUT MY TIME MANAGEMENT,
WARRANT OFFICER BERNSTEIN.
I'VE STARTED MY INVESTIGATION,
I'M GOING TO SEE IT THROUGH.
DO AS YOU LIKE.
I INTEND TO.
IT APPEARS TO BE, SIR.
WHAT WOULD MAKE
IT DEFINITIVE FOR
YOU, DETECTIVE?
I'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT
THOMAS' MEDICAL RECORDS...
FOR YOURSELF,
DETECTIVE.
I WOULD THINK YOU WOULD HAVE
OTHER MORE PRESSING MATTERS.
WHY DON'T YOU LET ME WORRY
ABOUT MY TIME MANAGEMENT,
WARRANT OFFICER BERNSTEIN.
NO, BUT...
NO CIVILIAN WITNESSES...
WHAT'S THAT GOT
TO DO WITH ANYTHING?
THIS IS A NAVY INVESTIGATION...
I'LL TAKE OVER.
THIS IS JUST ROUTINE, SIR.
WE'LL, UH, TREAD LIGHTLY.
WHO CALLED YOU?
I DID.
N.I.S. HAS JURISDICTION
OVER CASES INVOLVING
MILITARY PERSONNEL.
NOT OFF BASE.
YES, BUT THOMAS
IS DEAD, AND I WANT
THIS CLEANED UP
QUICKLY.
RELEASE THE RECORDS.
YES, SIR.
WERE YOU EVER
IN THE SERVICE,
LIEUTENANT SLOAN?
I INTEND TO.
FINE.
SO, THOMAS' DEATH WAS A SUICIDE?
GOOD DAY, SIR.
I'M NOT TRYING TO TELL YOU
HOW TO RUN YOUR INVESTIGATION
OR SHOW YOU UP,
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
I DIDN'T SAY YOU WERE.
I'M JUST TRYING TO DO MY JOB.
WELL, THEN,
YOU UNDERSTAND
THE MILITARY
LIKES TO CLEAN UP
ITS OWN MESS.
THIS IS JUST ROUTINE, SIR.
I'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT
THOMAS' MEDICAL RECORDS...
FOR STATE OF MIND.
MEDICAL RECORDS
ARE CONFIDENTIAL.
YES, BUT THOMAS
IS DEAD, AND I WANT
SO, THOMAS' DEATH WAS A SUICIDE?
Bernstein:
YES, SIR.
IT APPEARS TO BE, SIR.
I'M JUST TRYING TO DO MY JOB.
OKAY.
SO, WHY DON'T WE, UH, COOPERATE
NOT THIS
MORNING, NO.
I THINK THERE'S A PROBLEM
WITH THE THOMAS AUTOPSY REPORT.
I THINK WE
SHOULD CALL STEVE.
UH, WARRANT OFFICER
BERNSTEIN...
LOOK, UH...
IN THE SERVICE,
LIEUTENANT SLOAN?
YES, SIR. INFANTRY.
'NAM?
TWO TOURS.
WELL, THEN,
YOU UNDERSTAND
THE MILITARY
WE COULD DO THAT.
GREAT.
GOOD.
WELL, UH...
I'M GLAD WE
HAD THIS TALK.
JUST DON'T DO ANYTHING
WITHOUT TELLING ME.
LOOK, UH...
MAYBE WE, UH, GOT OFF
ON THE WRONG FOOT. UH...
I'M NOT TRYING TO TELL YOU
HOW TO RUN YOUR INVESTIGATION
WELL, I DIDN'T GET
MUCH SLEEP LAST NIGHT.
I WAS WORKING A DOUBLE SHIFT
AT THE MINI-MART, AND THEN
I STILL HAD TO STUDY
WHEN I GOT HOME.
WHAT TIME DID YOU GET TO BED?
DO YOU REMEMBER
WHAT MED SCHOOL WAS LIKE?
FORTUNATELY, I FORGOT ALL ABOUT
THAT NOT-SLEEPING PART.
SO, WHY DON'T WE, UH, COOPERATE
YOU KNOW, SHARE INFORMATION,
WORK TOGETHER.
WE COULD DO THAT.
IT'S JUST BEEN
A LONG DAY.
IT'S ONLY 10:00.
WELL, I DIDN'T GET
MUCH SLEEP LAST NIGHT.
WHO KNOWS HOW LONG
THAT'S GOING TO BE.
HAS ANYONE SEEN JESSE?
NOT THIS
MORNING, NO.
FORTUNATELY, I FORGOT ALL ABOUT
THAT NOT-SLEEPING PART.
I'M GLAD I RAN INTO YOU, THOUGH.
I WAS WONDERING
IF YOU HAD
ANY ODD JOBS
THAT NEED DOING
AROUND THE HOUSE OR ANYTHING.
YOU LOOKING FOR MORE WORK?
YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
IT'S JUST BEEN
A LONG DAY.
ABOUT YOUR STUDIES
AND
YOUR HEALTH.
OH, IT'S TEMPORARY, JUST UNTIL
BARBEQUE BOB'S REOPENS.
WHO KNOWS HOW LONG
THAT'S GOING TO BE.
I USED TO PLAY
SOFTBALL WITH HIM.
YOU WERE FRIENDS?
WE WEREN'T FRIENDS,
BUT I KNEW HIM.
IT'S A SMALL POST;
I KNOW MOST OF THE OFFICERS.
AND TRY AND SHOOT HIMSELF
IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS HEAD?
I DON'T KNOW. HE WAS HOLDING
THE WEAPON IN HIS LEFT HAND.
I DON'T KNOW WHY HE DID;
I KNOW THAT HE DID.
THE CORONER ONLY
FOUND
TRACES
OF GUNSHOT RESIDUE ON HIS LEFT
YOU LOOKING FOR MORE WORK?
WELL, I DON'T HAVE MY DAD
TO GO TO ANYMORE FOR HELP
AND I'M A LITTLE SHORT.
PRETTY MUCH GOT TO TAKE CARE
OF EVERYTHING ON MY OWN.
WELL, ALEX, I ADMIRE
YOUR WORK ETHIC
BUT I'M A LITTLE WORRIED
ABOUT YOUR STUDIES
AND
YOUR HEALTH.
I SAW HIM.
NOW, YOU CAN ASK YOUR
FRIEND, DR. TRAVIS.
HE SAW HIM HOLDING THE WEAPON
IN HIS LEFT HAND, HE SAW HIM
OF GUNSHOT RESIDUE ON HIS LEFT
AND SIGNIFIC RESIDUE
ON HIS RIGHT.
SO WHAT?
IT'S A SMALL POST;
I KNOW MOST OF THE OFFICERS.
THOMAS WAS SHOT
IN HIS RIGHT TEMPLE.
WHY WOULD HE TAKE THE GUN
IN HIS LEFT HAND
AND TRY AND SHOOT HIMSELF
IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS HEAD?
SO WHAT?
I'M LEFT-HANDED.
I DO LOTS OF THINGS
WITH BOTH HANDS.
FOR EXAMPLE, I BAT RIGHT-HANDED.
WHICH HAND DO YOU SHOOT WITH?
THOMAS' MEDICAL RECORDS
SUPPORT THE CORONER'S FINDING
THAT HE WAS RIGHT-HANDED.
I COULD HAVE
TOLD YOU THAT.
I USED TO PLAY
SOFTBALL WITH HIM.
WHICH HAND DO YOU SHOOT WITH?
WHAT DOES IT MATTER WHAT I DO?
HE SAW HIM HOLDING THE WEAPON
IN HIS LEFT HAND, HE SAW HIM
FIRE IT
INTO THE CEILING.
I DON'T KNOW. HE WAS HOLDING
THE WEAPON IN HIS LEFT HAND.
WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?
IF HE WAS RIGHT-HANDED
WHY WOULD HE HOLD A GUN
IN HIS LEFT HAND?
I DON'T KNOW WHY HE DID;
I KNOW THAT HE DID.
GUT FEELING.
YEAH, RIBS AND LATTE...
THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.
HERE... RIGHT... THERE.
I'M THINKING ABOUT
GETTING A MACHINE
FOR THE RESTAURANT.
A CAPPUCCINO MACHINE
IN A BARBECUE JOINT?
YEAH, RIBS AND LATTE...
THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.
I'VE GOT HIM REPAIRING
THOSE BROKEN TILES ON THE ROOF.
I HATE FLOWER PUZZLES.
ALL THE PIECES
LOOK THE SAME.
JESS, ARE YOU POSITIVE
THOMAS HAD HIS GUN
IN HIS LEFT HAND?
WHAT DOES IT MATTER WHAT I DO?
HANK THOMAS HAD A WEAPON
IN HIS LEFT HAND.
HE SHOT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD.
I SAW HIM.
HERE... RIGHT... THERE.
WHAT'S ALEX DOING OUT THERE?
I'VE GOT HIM REPAIRING
THOSE BROKEN TILES ON THE ROOF.
YOU HAD IT UPSIDE-DOWN.
HOW'S THE COFFEE?
IT'S GREAT.
YOU WENT TO THE AIR STATION
BUT IT'S POSSIBLE
THAT HE
TRANSFERRED THE GUN
TO HIS RIGHT HAND
BEFORE HE SHOT HIMSELF.
AFTER HE FIRED ONE SHOT
INTO THE CEILING
WITH HIS LEFT HAND?
HE'S HIDING SOMETHING.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
GUT FEELING.
INTO THE CEILING
WITH HIS LEFT HAND?
AND THREE
MARINE OFFICERS
ARE LYING ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED.
JESSE'S RIGHT, WHY
WOULD THEY ALL LIE?
OKAY, GUYS, TELL ME WHAT
YOU THINK, HONESTLY.
I'M THINKING ABOUT
GETTING A MACHINE
FOR THE RESTAURANT.
I'M SORRY.
THAT HAD JUST COME IN.
I, UH, MADE A MISTAKE.
I'M SORRY.
YOU SAID YOU
WOULD KEEP ME INFORMED.
I KNOW. I, UH, FORGOT.
WHAT HAPPENED
TO "LET'S COOPERATE"?
OR "I THINK WE GOT OFF
ON THE WRONG FOOT"?
WELL, I WAS ACTING
ON INFORMATION
THAT HAD JUST COME IN.
JESSE'S RIGHT, WHY
WOULD THEY ALL LIE?
THERE IT IS.
NO, I ALREADY
TRIED THAT PIECE.
YOU HAD IT UPSIDE-DOWN.
THOMAS HAD HIS GUN
IN HIS LEFT HAND?
STEVE, I SAW WHAT I SAW.
HE USED HIS LEFT HAND.
BUT IT'S POSSIBLE
THAT HE
YOU KNOW, I'M JUST NOT USED
TO WORKING WITH OTHER PEOPLE.
LOOK, IF I PROMISE
THAT I'LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN
I KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE
I TRIED TO TRICK YOU
BUT I DIDN'T. HONEST.
YOU KNOW, I'M JUST NOT USED
TO WORKING WITH OTHER PEOPLE.
I KNOW. I, UH, FORGOT.
I'M SORRY. UH...
CAN WE TALK ABOUT IT?
TO WRAP THIS
INVESTIGATION UP.
WRAP IT UP?
WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN
THE ANSWERS YET.
WELL, AS FAR AS
COLONEL CHANDLER
IS CONCERNED, WE DO.
AND INTERVIEWED CAPTAIN DAVIS
WITHOUT ME?
OH, HANNAH, YEAH, I, UH...
WHAT HAPPENED
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHAT I THINK.
OF COURSE IT DOES.
WHY DON'T YOU
JUST TELL HIM...?
THIS IS YOUR FIRST CASE,
ISN'T IT?
LOOK, IF I PROMISE
THAT I'LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN
UH, WILL YOU QUIT
BEING MAD AT ME?
I'VE BEEN GIVEN ORDERS
TO WRAP THIS
INVESTIGATION UP.
I'VE HANDLED, YOU
KNOW, BY MYSELF, YES.
WELL, WHAT
IF I COULD FIND
SOMETHING INCRIMINATING
BYE.
SOMETHING INCRIMINATING
BEFORE YOU GOT TO ME?
YOU THINK CHANDLER
WOULD LET YOU STAY ON THE CASE?
WELL, WHAT...?
HI.
NO!
WELL, I MEAN,
THE FIRST CASE
I'VE HANDLED, YOU
KNOW, BY MYSELF, YES.
IT WOULD CERTAINLY
CLEAR THINGS UP.
I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING
TO GET THAT LUCKY.
WELL, AS FAR AS
COLONEL CHANDLER
IS CONCERNED, WE DO.
THOMAS COMMITTED
SUICIDE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
A LITTLE.
WHAT ARE YOU
HOPING TO FIND?
A SUICIDE NOTE?
IT WOULD CERTAINLY
CLEAR THINGS UP.
HI.
WHAT COULD YOU FIND?
YOU THINK YOU COULD GET ME
INTO THOMAS' QUARTERS?
HELLO?
Man:
Hank Thomas?
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
Western States Annuity
is delighted to offer you
OVER THERE?
YOU THINK YOU COULD GET ME
INTO THOMAS' QUARTERS?

TELEMARKETER?
UH-HUH.

Woman:
Hank Thomas,

I'm sure once you see

LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
DO YOU OFFER

SO ANNOYING.

Yes.
AND YOU RECEIVED

Hello. This is Vinnie
at the pro shop
confirming your tee-time
for 2:45.
RESERVES VIDEOS,
MAKES A GOLF DATE
AND THEN COMMITS SUICIDE?
I'M CONFUSED.
I THOUGHT THAT THOMAS' DEATH
WAS RULED AS A SUICIDE.
WE HAVEN'T MADE
A FINAL DETERMINATION
AND THEN COMMITS SUICIDE?
This is Susan Chandler.
Please call me
when you get this.
It's important. Thank you.
HMM.
CAN YOU RETRIEVE THEM?
AND THEN I HEARD
THE INVESTIGATION WAS CLOSED.
NOT BY THE L.A.P.D.
IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR YOU
TO TALK TO HIM. WHY?
CERTAINLY, BUT IT HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH HIS DEATH.
WE'D STILL LIKE TO KNOW, MA'AM.
WELL, MY HUSBAND'S
BEING PROMOTED TO GENERAL
AND CAPTAIN THOMAS WAS PERSONNEL
OFFICER AT THE STATION.
Woman:
Hank Thomas,
this is MegaHits Movies.
The two videos you reserved
are ready for pickup.
We're open until 10:00 tonight.
AND CAPTAIN THOMAS WAS PERSONNEL
OFFICER AT THE STATION.
AND WHAT I NEEDED
WAS A LIST OF ALL
THE PILOTS
SO I COULD INVITE THEM
DOWN TO THE OFFICERS' CLUB
FOR A SURPRISE
WETTING-DOWN PARTY.
WOULD WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT THAT CALL?
NO. I COULDN'T IMAGINE
WHAT MY PHONE CALL
WOULD HAVE TO DO WITH HIS DEATH.
WE HAVEN'T MADE
A FINAL DETERMINATION
ON THAT YET,
MRS. CHANDLER.
YOUR MESSAGE SAID
IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR YOU
TO TALK TO HIM. WHY?
It's important. Thank you.
SUSAN CHANDLER?
COLONEL CHANDLER'S WIFE.
I'M CONFUSED.
PLEASE PROMISE ME
YOU WON'T TELL DR. SLOAN
OR DR. TRAVIS ABOUT THIS.
NOT BY THE L.A.P.D.
WELL, I'M SORRY I COULDN'T
HAVE BEEN MORE HELP.
GOOD DAY.
IT'S A CELEBRATION.
A BREAK-IN OR "WET DOWN"
HIS NEW STAR WITH A FEW DRINKS.
DID CAPTAIN THOMAS
CALL YOU BACK?
WE'RE SORRY TO
HAVE BOTHERED YOU.
DIDN'T YOU THINK
THAT MAYBE
THE INVESTIGATING OFFICERS
WOULD WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT THAT CALL?
FOR A SURPRISE
WETTING-DOWN PARTY.
A WETTING-DOWN PARTY?
IT'S A CELEBRATION.
GOOD DAY.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
DID CAPTAIN THOMAS
CALL YOU BACK?
NO, I NEVER HEARD FROM HIM.
THANK YOU
VERY MUCH
FOR YOUR TIME,
MRS. CHANDLER.
WE'RE SORRY TO
HAVE BOTHERED YOU.
YOU WON'T TELL DR. SLOAN
OR DR. TRAVIS ABOUT THIS.
ALEX.
I CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE
EITHER ONE OF MY JOBS.
YOU COULD HAVE FRACTURED
YOUR ARM OR YOUR LEG OR WORSE
AND THEN
WHERE WOULD YOU BE?
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
OW!
IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
SIT DOWN.
I'M FINE.
ALEX, YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL
YOURSELF WORKING THREE JOBS
WELL, I CAN'T TAKE
OUT ANY MORE LOANS.
I'LL BE PAYING THEM
OFF UNTIL I RETIRE.
WHAT ABOUT THE ARMY?
THE ARMY?
DON'T CUT OFF
YOUR OPTIONS
UNTIL YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
MAYBE THERE WERE NO WITNESSES
BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED.
YOU THINK ROMANSKI MADE
THE WHOLE THING UP?
SHE CAME TO ME AND SAID HELP ME,
MY EX-BOYFRIEND IS STALKING ME?
OH, I DON'T THINK SO.
THEY'LL PAY
FOR YOUR MEDICAL EDUCATION
IF YOU JUST GIVE THEM
A FEW YEARS SERVICE.
AMANDA, I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU'VE NOTICED
SO, THAT'S IT.
A QUICK LUNCH AND WE CLOSE
THE FILES ON THOMAS' DEATH.
HAVE YOU TALKED
TO ANYBODY ABOUT IT?
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT IT'S LIKE?
WELL...
DON'T CUT OFF
YOUR OPTIONS
A QUICK LUNCH AND WE CLOSE
THE FILES ON THOMAS' DEATH.
WELL, MAYBE NOT.
DID YOU FIND SOMETHING?
ALEX, YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL
YOURSELF WORKING THREE JOBS
TO PAY FOR YOUR
MEDICAL EDUCATION.
THERE ARE OTHER WAYS.
WELL, I CAN'T TAKE
OUT ANY MORE LOANS.
DID YOU FIND SOMETHING?
WHOOPS!
WHAT IS YOUR POINT, LIEUTENANT?
AMANDA, I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU'VE NOTICED
BUT I'M NOT EXACTLY
THE MILITARY TYPE.
AND HOW DO YOU KNOW?
HAVE YOU TALKED
TO ANYBODY ABOUT IT?
NO EVIDENCE
OF PRIOR INCIDENTS.
THAT'S YOUR
INVESTIGATIVE
BREAKTHROUGH?
I ALREADY TOLD YOU
THERE WERE NO WITNESS.
WELL, I GOT TO THINKING.
MAYBE THERE WERE NO WITNESSES
BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED.
HOW DO I KNOW
THEY WERE FROM HIM?
YOU'RE GOING ALONG WITH THIS?
JUST BECAUSE THE LETTERS
WERE UNSIGNED?
WELL, THERE IS ONE OTHER THING.
UH...
WE FOUND SOME NOTES
THAT CAPTAIN THOMAS
MADE FOR HIMSELF
ON A MARIJUANA BUST
AT ON-BASE HOUSING
LAST NOVEMBER.
YOU SAW THE LETTERS HE WROTE.
THEY WERE IN HIS FILE.
I SAW SOME VERY INCRIMINATING,
TYPED LETTERS. UNSIGNED.
HOW DO I KNOW
THEY WERE FROM HIM?
CAPTAIN THOMAS
WROTE THAT HE
WAS PRESENT
AT THE TIME OF THE RAID
BUT HE WAS NEVER CHARGED.
IN FACT, HIS NAME DOESN'T EVEN
APPEAR ON YOUR REPORT.
AT ON-BASE HOUSING
LAST NOVEMBER.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?
TWO OFFICERS
WERE COURT-MARTIALED
AND GIVEN
DISHONORABLE DISCHARGES.
WHAT IS YOUR POINT, LIEUTENANT?
NO WITNESSES
NO CORROBORATION
NO EVIDENCE
OF PRIOR INCIDENTS.
I'M SURE WE CAN VERIFY
THE HANDWRITING.
ALTHOUGH, ACCORDING TO YOU
HE GENERALLY TYPED
INCRIMINATING DOCUMENTS.
CAPTAIN THOMAS
WROTE THAT HE
JUST BECAUSE THE LETTERS
WERE UNSIGNED?
WELL, THERE IS ONE OTHER THING.
SHE CAME TO ME AND SAID HELP ME,
MY EX-BOYFRIEND IS STALKING ME?
THOMAS DOESN'T FIT THE PROFILE
OF A STALKER, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
YOU SAW THE LETTERS HE WROTE.
THEY WERE IN HIS FILE.
I WAS THE OFFICER
ON DUTY AT THE TIME.
HOW DO I KNOW
THIS IS THOMAS'?
WE FOUND THESE NOTES
AT HIS QUARTERS.
I'M SURE WE CAN VERIFY
THE HANDWRITING.
CAPTAIN THOMAS WAS PRESENT
IN THE QUARTERS
AT THE TIME OF THE ARREST,
BUT HE WAS IN ANOTHER ROOM.
NO DRUGS WERE
FOUND ON HIM
AND HE ASSURED ME
IN FACT, HIS NAME DOESN'T EVEN
APPEAR ON YOUR REPORT.
THAT'S CORRECT.
WHY IS THAT?
CAPTAIN THOMAS WAS PRESENT
IN THE QUARTERS
YOU NOT ONLY EXCUSED HIM
WITHOUT TESTING FOR ANY DRUG USE
YOU EVEN ELIMINATED HIS NAME
FROM THE REPORT ITSELF.
IT WAS A JUDGMENT CALL.
IT WAS DERELICTION OF DUTY AND
CONDUCT UNBECOMING AN OFFICER.
SOMEBODY WAS SMOKING MARIJUANA
IN THOSE SMALL QUARTERS
AND HE DIDN'T KNOW IT?
THAT'S WHAT HE SAID,
AND I BELIEVED HIM.
YOU NOT ONLY EXCUSED HIM
WITHOUT TESTING FOR ANY DRUG USE
AND GIVEN
DISHONORABLE DISCHARGES.
I REMEMBER.
I WAS THE OFFICER
ON DUTY AT THE TIME.
THAT WOULD ONLY HARM
AN INNOCENT MAN'S CAREER.
LIEUTENANT,
IF CAPTAIN THOMAS WAS USING
YOU SAID YOU WOULD
TREAD LIGHTLY.
THERE IS A LIMIT
TO HOW LIGHTLY
YOU CAN TREAD
CAPTAIN THOMAS WAS THE STATION'S
PERSONNEL OFFICER.
I CHOSE NOT TO REPORT SOMETHING
THAT WOULD ONLY HARM
AN INNOCENT MAN'S CAREER.
IT WAS DERELICTION OF DUTY AND
CONDUCT UNBECOMING AN OFFICER.
CAPTAIN THOMAS WAS THE STATION'S
PERSONNEL OFFICER.
WARRANT OFFICER BERNSTEIN.
COLONEL CHANDLER WANTS TO SEE
YOU IN HIS OFFICE ASAP.
AND HE ASSURED ME
HE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE
OF THE DRUGS.
SOMEBODY WAS SMOKING MARIJUANA
IN THOSE SMALL QUARTERS
DON'T MAKE ANY ACCUSATIONS
YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET.
LIEUTENANT SLOAN...
WARRANT OFFICER BERNSTEIN.
A LEGITIMATE INVESTIGATION.
THE INVESTIGATION OF A SUICIDE.
NOW, LOOK,
CAPTAIN DAVIS
LIEUTENANT,
IF CAPTAIN THOMAS WAS USING
ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION
ABOUT YOU
TO CONVINCE YOU
NOT TO ARREST HIM...
YOU'VE GONE
TO MY PERSONAL QUARTERS
UPSET MY WIFE,
RUINED WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
A WONDERFUL
SURPRISE FOR ME.
NOW, IF THAT'S TREADING LIGHTLY
REMIND ME NEVER TO GO ON
A RECON MISSION WITH YOU.
SIR, WE ARE FOLLOWING
YOU SAID YOU WOULD
TREAD LIGHTLY.
TO CONVINCE YOU
NOT TO ARREST HIM...
I'D BE VERY CAREFUL
IF I WERE YOU.
DON'T MAKE ANY ACCUSATIONS
YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET.
BUT, WARRANT OFFICER BERNSTEIN
I WANT YOUR REPORT ON MY DESK
TOMORROW MORNING.
YOUR FINAL REPORT.
NOW, LOOK,
CAPTAIN DAVIS
TOLD ME ABOUT THIS
RIGHT-HAND, LEFT-HAND CRAP.
IT'S NONSENSE.
I MAY NOT
HAVE ANY JURISDICTION
OVER THE L.A.P.D.
BUT, WARRANT OFFICER BERNSTEIN
THERE IS A LIMIT
TO HOW LIGHTLY
YOU CAN TREAD
AND STILL MANAGE
TO CONDUCT
A CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATION.
YOU'VE GONE
TO MY PERSONAL QUARTERS
IT'S HER FIRST CASE AND SHE
FEELS LIKE SHE'S FAILED.
I GUESS IF YOU'RE A
NAVAL INVESTIGATOR
YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO FOLLOW ORDERS
NOT HUNCHES.
I HATE TO ADMIT IT
YEAH, I GUESS.
BUT MAYBE
COLONEL CHANDLER'S RIGHT.
WE'RE LOOKING SO HARD
AT THIS THING
I MEAN,
THE GUNSHOT RESIDUE ALONE
IS ENOUGH TO KEEP THE CASE OPEN.
BUT G.S.R. IS NOT ALWAYS
RELIABLE, YOU KNOW.
ARE YOU KIDDING?
WE'RE LOOKING SO HARD
AT THIS THING
WE'RE MAKING SOMETHING
OUT OF NOTHING.
NO, THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH
THAT DOESN'T SMELL RIGHT.
I MEAN,
THE GUNSHOT RESIDUE ALONE
ARE YOU KIDDING?
YEAH, THERE'S ALWAYS
ROOM FOR DOUBT.
NOT IN THIS CASE.
THOMAS HAD ONLY A SMALL TRACE
OF GUNSHOT RESIDUE
YOUR FINAL REPORT.
NOW, IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?
SLOAN HERE.
I FEEL SO SORRY
FOR HANNAH.
IT'S HER FIRST CASE AND SHE
FEELS LIKE SHE'S FAILED.
SAYS IT COULD HAVE
SOMETHING TO DO
WITH THE CASE.
SO MUCH FOR
FOLLOWING ORDERS.
SLOAN HERE.
OH, HI.
YEAH,
I CAN MEET YOU THERE
IN ABOUT AN HOUR.
WE'RE BOTH ON DUTY.
SO, UH...
WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT
NOT
INVESTIGATING?
I'M OFFICIALLY OFF THE CASE.
CHAMPAGNE?
NON-ALCOHOLIC,
I PRESUME.
WE'RE BOTH ON DUTY.
THOMAS HAD ONLY A SMALL TRACE
OF GUNSHOT RESIDUE
ON HIS LEFT HAND.
AND IF HE, IN FACT,
FIRED THE GUN
HE HAD TO HAVE DONE IT
WITH HIS RIGHT.
WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT
NOT
INVESTIGATING?
WELL... I STARTED THINKING ABOUT
WHAT SUSAN CHANDLER SAID.
IN ABOUT AN HOUR.
ALL RIGHT.
THAT WAS HANNAH.
SHE WANTS ME
TO MEET HER
AT THE AIR STATION.
SAYS IT COULD HAVE
SOMETHING TO DO
WELL... I STARTED THINKING ABOUT
WHAT SUSAN CHANDLER SAID.
HOW SHE
WAS HAVING
A SURPRISE PARTY
FOR HER HUSBAND
HERE AT THE OFFICERS' CLUB.
AND?
THERE ARE OVER
150 PILOTS
ASSIGNED TO THIS STATION.
TO SEE IF HE COULD ARRANGE
FOR AS MANY PILOTS
AS POSSIBLE
TO COME TO THE PARTY.
TAKE A LOOK INSIDE.
ASSIGNED TO THIS STATION.
SUSAN CHANDLER SAID SHE LEFT A
MESSAGE ON THOMAS' CELL PHONE
TO SEE IF HE COULD ARRANGE
FOR AS MANY PILOTS
THIS IS KIND OF CLOAK-
AND-DAGGER, ISN'T IT?
I'M OFFICIALLY OFF THE CASE.
WHICH MEANS...
SHE LIED TO US.
SHOCKING, ISN'T IT?
MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE
ANOTHER TALK WITH HER.
MAYBE SHE WAS PLANNING
ON A LOT OF NO-SHOWS.
I CONSIDERED THAT, SO I ASKED
IF SHE HAD BOOKED THE ROOM
FOR THE NIGHT IN QUESTION
OR FOR ANY NIGHT,
FOR THAT MATTER.
IT WOULDN'T HOLD 75 PEOPLE,
MUCH LESS 150.
MAYBE SHE WAS PLANNING
ON A LOT OF NO-SHOWS.
OR FOR ANY NIGHT,
FOR THAT MATTER.
NO PARTY PLANNED.
MM-MM.
WHICH MEANS...
IT IS KIND OF
SMALL, ISN'T IT?
IT WOULDN'T HOLD 75 PEOPLE,
MUCH LESS 150.
OH... JUST FISHING.
WHY DO I GET THE FEELING YOU'RE
NOT TELLING ME EVERYTHING?
TO HER DRY CLEANERS?
WHAT WERE YOU ASKING MARTINELLI
ABOUT YESTERDAY?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
NOTHING MORE THRILLING
THAN A DAY SPENT ON
SURVEILLANCE, HUH?
YOU DON'T THINK
THIS IS EXCITING?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHEN YOU WERE ASKING
IF THOMAS HAD ANYTHING
OF A PERSONAL NATURE ON HIM.
OH... JUST FISHING.
MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE
ANOTHER TALK WITH HER.
DID I MENTION
THAT TOMORROW'S MY DAY OFF?
IF I KNEW ANYTHING
THAT HAD THE SLIGHTEST BEARING
ON THIS CASE, I WOULD TELL YOU.
UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE
WHY DO I GET THE FEELING YOU'RE
NOT TELLING ME EVERYTHING?
MAYBE YOU'RE JUST EXPERIENCING
GUILT PANGS
BECAUSE YOU RAN OFF
WITHOUT ME THE OTHER DAY.
I WOULDN'T JUST... FORGET.
HERE SHE COMES.
BECAUSE YOU RAN OFF
WITHOUT ME THE OTHER DAY.
I WAS IN THE SERVICE;
I'VE BEEN ON MILITARY BASES.
EVEN THE BIGGER ONES
ARE LIKE SMALL TOWNS.
YOU DON'T THINK
THIS IS EXCITING?
FOLLOWING SUSAN CHANDLER
FROM HER MANICURIST TO HER BANK
TO HER DRY CLEANERS?
WELL, WELL, WELL.
WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
HERE SHE COMES.
EVEN THE BIGGER ONES
ARE LIKE SMALL TOWNS.
EVERYBODY'S GOT
THEIR NOSE STUCK
IN EVERYBODY
ELSE'S BUSINESS.
YOU TELLING ME
YOU NEVER HEARD...?
IF I KNEW ANYTHING
DON'T WORRY, IT'S
PROBABLY JUST THE MAID.
YOU THINK THIS DUMP
HAS A MAID SERVICE?
CAPTAIN DAVIS,
MRS. CHANDLER,
OPEN UP.
IT'S THE POLICE.
CAPTAIN DAVIS,
MRS. CHANDLER,
OPEN UP.
IT'S STEVE SLOAN,
L.A.P.D.
IT'S THE POLICE.
WHO IS IT?
DON'T WORRY, IT'S
PROBABLY JUST THE MAID.
WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS?
WELL, CAN WE COME IN,
OR WOULD YOU PREFER
TO TALK ABOUT THIS
IN PUBLIC?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
IT'S NOT VERY SMART TO, UH, LIE
TO THE POLICE, MRS. CHANDLER.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
WE WANT TO KNOW WHY
YOU LEFT THAT MESSAGE
ON THOMAS' CELL PHONE.
AND WE'D PREFER
THE TRUTH THIS TIME.
ALL RIGHT. THE MESSAGE
IS EASY TO EXPLAIN.
IT WASN'T THE FIRST TIME AROUND.
WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
YOU REALLY DON'T GIVE UP,
DO YOU, LIEUTENANT?
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, CAPTAIN.
WHY DID YOU LIE TO US,
MRS. CHANDLER?
I DON'T THINK THAT'S
ANY MORE YOUR BUSINESS
IT WASN'T THE FIRST TIME AROUND.
OBVIOUSLY, SUSAN AND I
ARE HAVING AN AFFAIR
AND THOMAS FOUND OUT ABOUT IT
OH, SO THE INTREPID
CRIME-FIGHTING DUO
HAS UNCOVERED THE TRUTH.
THE ADJUTANT IS SLEEPING
WITH THE COLONEL'S WIFE...
SUSAN WAS CALLING HIM TO ASK...
TO BEG... NOT TO TELL HIM.
IS IT POSSIBLE
YOU'VE ALREADY DISSUADED HIM?
PERMANENTLY, PERHAPS?
YOU REALLY DON'T GIVE UP,
DO YOU, LIEUTENANT?
WE-WE FELT SAFE AGAIN.
NOW, WHY WOULD WE ELECT TO...
BROADCAST OUR AFFAIR?
OF COURSE, BY NOT DOING SO
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
IT'S NOT VERY SMART TO, UH, LIE
TO THE POLICE, MRS. CHANDLER.
OF COURSE, BY NOT DOING SO
YOU WERE IMPEDING
A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION.
OH, SO THE INTREPID
CRIME-FIGHTING DUO
THAT DOESN'T CHANGE
THE FACTS.
NOR DOES IT CHANGE THE FACT THAT
YOU, WARRANT OFFICE BERNSTEIN
ARE DISOBEYING A DIRECT ORDER
FROM THE BASE COMMANDER.
SO, DO YOU WANT TO TELL
COLONEL CHANDLER
OR SHOULD I?
AND THOMAS FOUND OUT ABOUT IT
AND WAS THREATENING
TO TELL THE COLONEL.
SUSAN WAS CALLING HIM TO ASK...
TO BEG... NOT TO TELL HIM.
GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL,
THOMAS COMMITTED SUICIDE.
HOW AWFULLY CONVENIENT FOR YOU.
CONVENIENT FOR ME,
INCONVENIENT FOR YOU...
THAT DOESN'T CHANGE
THE FACTS.
BLACKMAIL'S A PRETTY STRONG
MOTIVE FOR MURDER.
THERE YOU GO AGAIN,
TALKING ABOUT MURDER.
GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL,
THOMAS COMMITTED SUICIDE.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S
ANY MORE YOUR BUSINESS
THAN IT WAS THOMAS'.
LISTEN, AFTER THOMAS
KILLED HIMSELF
WE-WE FELT SAFE AGAIN.
MY EXPERIENCE?
MOST MATCHES AREN'T.
YOU MUST BE OLDER THAN YOU LOOK.
ARE DISOBEYING A DIRECT ORDER
FROM THE BASE COMMANDER.
SO, DO YOU WANT TO TELL
COLONEL CHANDLER
ANYWAY, I GOT A FEELING
THAT DAVIS IS GOING TO BE
A TOUGH NUT TO CRACK.
I AGREE. WE MIGHT HAVE
BETTER LUCK WITH THE OTHERS.
THE ADJUTANT IS SLEEPING
WITH THE COLONEL'S WIFE...
SCANDALOUS,
DISGRACEFUL.
IRRELEVANT.
OH, I DON'T KNOW, CAPTAIN.
BLACKMAIL'S A PRETTY STRONG
MOTIVE FOR MURDER.
ANYWAY, I GOT A FEELING
I AGREE. WE MIGHT HAVE
BETTER LUCK WITH THE OTHERS.
YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE?
MY FEMALE INTUITION TELLS ME
ROMANSKI MIGHT BE THE WEAK LINK.
LIEUTENANT ROMANSKI,
WE JUST WANT TO
CLEAR THIS THING UP.
A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS,
WE'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE.
YOU HAD AN AFFAIR
WITH CAPTAIN THOMAS...?
I WAS TOLD I DIDN'T HAVE TO
I'LL HAVE YOU PICKED UP
AND BROUGHT IN FOR QUESTIONING.
IT'D BE VERY
INCONVENIENT.
LIEUTENANT ROMANSKI,
WE JUST WANT TO
CLEAR THIS THING UP.
NOT EXACTLY
A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN.
MY EXPERIENCE?
MOST MATCHES AREN'T.
YEAH. MY FIRST HUSBAND DIED...
IN BOSNIA.
I'M SORRY.
BUT BEFORE HE WAS TRANSFERRED
OVERSEAS
HE SERVED IN THE SAME BATTALION
AS CAPTAIN THOMAS...
IF THAT'S WHAT
YOU'RE IMPLYING.
I BARELY KNEW HANK
BEFORE MY HUSBAND DIED.
WAS CAPTAIN THOMAS THE BATTALION
PERSONNEL OFFICER BACK THEN?
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO
WITH HANK'S SUICIDE?
YOU HAD AN AFFAIR
WITH CAPTAIN THOMAS...?
I TOLD YOU THAT WE WERE ENGAGED.
ACCORDING TO YOUR 2-O-1 FILE
MY FEMALE INTUITION TELLS ME
ROMANSKI MIGHT BE THE WEAK LINK.
LEAD ON, McDUFF?
THE NEXT TIME
YOU QUESTION ME?
I'M GOING TO WANT
A LAWYER PRESENT.
I WAS TOLD I DIDN'T HAVE TO
TALK TO YOU, OKAY?
ON BASE, MAYBE.
BUT THE SECOND
YOU WALK OFF THIS BASE
I'LL HAVE YOU PICKED UP
AND BROUGHT IN FOR QUESTIONING.
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO
WITH HANK'S SUICIDE?
ISN'T IT POSSIBLE
THAT CAPTAIN THOMAS
WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR HAVING YOUR
HUSBAND TRANSFERRED TO BOSNIA?
I THINK THAT'S MORE THAN
A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
WELL, THAT WENT WELL.
WELL, I WAS DOING FINE.
HE SERVED IN THE SAME BATTALION
AS CAPTAIN THOMAS...
ISN'T THAT CORRECT?
YES, BUT WE WEREN'T HAVING
AN AFFAIR THEN
IF THAT'S WHAT
YOU'RE IMPLYING.
ACCORDING TO YOUR 2-O-1 FILE
YOU WERE MARRIED
TO SOMEONE ELSE.
YEAH. MY FIRST HUSBAND DIED...
IN BOSNIA.
I KNOW, I KNOW.
WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT YOU, ALEX.
I MEAN, YOU CAN'T KEEP THIS UP...
NO MATTER HOW TIRED YOU ARE.
SOMEBODY'S GOING TO GET HURT OR
YOU'RE GOING TO HURT YOURSELF.
I'M UP, I'M UP.
ALEX, YOU MISSED
YOUR ROUNDS.
I'M SORRY.
CAN HAVE DISASTROUS
CONSEQUENCES.
AS A DOCTOR,
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
IS TO YOUR PATIENTS,
NO MATTER HOW TIRED YOU ARE.
I THINK THAT'S MORE THAN
A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
AND DESPITE YOUR THREATS,
LIEUTENANT SLOAN
THE NEXT TIME
YOU QUESTION ME?
IS TO YOUR PATIENTS,
NO MATTER HOW TIRED YOU ARE.
I KNOW, I KNOW.
AND COMING BACK LATER.
OH, I'D HATE TO SEE YOU
DO THAT.
I MEAN, ONCE YOU'RE OUT, IT'S
HARD TO COME BACK, BELIEVE ME.
WELL, I WAS DOING FINE.
YOU KNOW,
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT
DROPPING OUT FOR A WHILE
SAVING SOME MONEY
AND COMING BACK LATER.
I MEAN, ONCE YOU'RE OUT, IT'S
HARD TO COME BACK, BELIEVE ME.
THERE MUST BE
SOMETHING ELSE WE CAN DO.
ME WITH MY OLD
M.A.S.H. UNIT IN KOREA.
I'M SORRY.
YOU KNOW, MISSING ROUNDS
CAN HAVE DISASTROUS
CONSEQUENCES.
WHY?
CAN YOU TELL ME
WHAT IT WAS LIKE?
SOMETHING ELSE WE CAN DO.
YOU KNOW, DR. BENTLEY
MENTIONED SOMETHING
AND I DIDN'T GIVE IT
MUCH THOUGHT
BUT...
ME WITH MY OLD
M.A.S.H. UNIT IN KOREA.
I WAS BARELY OLDER
THAN YOU ARE RIGHT NOW.
WAS IT... ROUGH?
SOMEBODY'S GOING TO GET HURT OR
YOU'RE GOING TO HURT YOURSELF.
YOU KNOW,
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT
WELL, BEING IN BATTLEFIELD
CONDITIONS
TREATING THOSE KIND
OF INJURIES.
I MEAN, HOW'D YOU KNOW
YOU COULD HANDLE IT?
YOU DON'T.
SCARED TO DEATH.
OH, I GOT INTRODUCED
TO MYSELF OVER THERE.
I LEARNED SELF-DISCIPLINE,
THOUGH.
YOU DON'T.
I KNOW SOME OF THEM COULDN'T.
HAD TO BE SENT HOME.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
SCARED TO DEATH.
HOW?
OH, YOU SEE A WIDER RANGE
OF ILLNESSES AND INJURIES
WITH A LOT LESS TO WORK WITH
THAN YOU DO IN
A CIVILIAN HOSPITAL.
WERE YOU IN THE ARMY?
YEAH. SO WAS STEVE.
WHY?
I FELT I WAS CONTRIBUTING
SOMETHING, YOU KNOW?
I LIKED THAT, TOO.
BUT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE WAY
IT WAS FOR ME.
YOU GOT TO FIND OUT
FOR YOURSELF, ALEX.
SO, THAT'S STEVE
IN VIETNAM, HUH?
I LEARNED SELF-DISCIPLINE,
THOUGH.
I THINK IT MADE ME
A BETTER DOCTOR.
HOW?
WAS IT... ROUGH?
HOW DO YOU MEAN?
WELL, BEING IN BATTLEFIELD
CONDITIONS
WITH THE HAIR AND THE UNIFORMS,
THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE.
YEAH, THEY DO, DON'T THEY?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ALEX.
NO, THAT'S STEVE.
GOSH, HOW CAN YOU TELL?
WITH THE HAIR AND THE UNIFORMS,
THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ALEX.
AT FIRST I DIDN'T SEE IT.
SO, THAT'S STEVE
IN VIETNAM, HUH?
YEAH... WITH HIS PLATOON
ON HIS FIRST TOUR.
THAT THEY KEPT THEIR HATS ON
THE WHOLE TIME
AND THEY NEVER TOOK
THEIR SUNGLASSES OFF
BUT I FIGURED THAT WAS
JUST MILITARY MACHO.
THAN YOU DO IN
A CIVILIAN HOSPITAL.
LEARNED A LOT.
I FELT I WAS CONTRIBUTING
SOMETHING, YOU KNOW?
BUT I FIGURED THAT WAS
JUST MILITARY MACHO.
GREAT. ANYTHING ELSE?
WHEN I SHOWED THEM
TO THE TABLE, ONE OF THEM
SAID, "SIT DOWN"
I THINK WITH ALL THREE
OF THEM LOOKING SO MUCH ALIKE
IT WOULD BE EASY
IN THE CONFUSION
FOR THE WITNESSES
TO MAKE A MISTAKE.
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
IS THAT STEVE?
NO, THAT'S STEVE.
AT FIRST I DIDN'T SEE IT.
IT WAS SOMETHING
THAT ALEX SAID BEFORE.
JESSE, DO YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING
ABOUT THE THREE MARINES
WHEN THEY FIRST CAME IN?
EXACTLY, THEY ALL LOOKED ALIKE.
THEY DID,
THEY ALL LOOKED ALIKE.
HEY, STEVE, YOU AND AMANDA
AND HANNAH COME OVER HERE
AND SIT WHERE THE THREE MARINES
WERE SITTING.
I DID. ONE OF THEM ASKED
FOR THREE SPECIALS.
WHICH ONE SAID WHAT?
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, STEVE,
I COULDN'T TELL YOU.
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW TO PROVE IT?
NO...
GOT TO BE A WAY, THOUGH.
THEY ALL WERE IN UNIFORM.
THE SHORT HAIR,
THE SUNGLASSES...
EXACTLY, THEY ALL LOOKED ALIKE.
WHEN THEY FIRST CAME IN?
LIKE WHAT?
DID THEY SAY ANYTHING ODD
OR ACT STRANGELY?
WELL, I THOUGHT IT WAS WEIRD
THAT THEY KEPT THEIR HATS ON
THE WHOLE TIME
OKAY, WE'LL JUST DO
A RUN-THROUGH HERE.
I'LL BE THE SHOOTER...
THE LEFT-HANDED SHOOTER.
OKAY, LET'S JUST SEE
WHAT DEVELOPS HERE.
AND SIT WHERE THE THREE MARINES
WERE SITTING.
OH, COME ON, DAD.
I THINK I KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
SIT HERE, AND, JESSE
TO THE TABLE, ONE OF THEM
SAID, "SIT DOWN"
SORT OF LIKE
A COMMAND.
WHO TOOK THE ORDER?
I DID. ONE OF THEM ASKED
FOR THREE SPECIALS.
EVERYBODY OUT!
WHOA! JUST TAKE IT
EASY, OKAY?
MOVE!
HANK, DON'T DO THIS, PLEASE.
OKAY, LET'S JUST SEE
WHAT DEVELOPS HERE.
WE'LL TALK TO HIM,
PLEASE!
GO PULL THE BLINDS.
OKAY... OKAY, LOOK,
I-I-I'M SHUTTING
THE BLINDS, OKAY?
AND NOW I NEED YOU
TO DO SOMETHING
FOR ME, OKAY?
SIT HERE, AND, JESSE
YOU STAY
BY THE REGISTER
WHERE YOU WERE.
OKAY, WE'LL JUST DO
A RUN-THROUGH HERE.
THEY CHANGED NAME TAGS...
THOMAS FOR DAVIS.
I'M GONNA MAKE YOU SORRY
FOR WHAT YOU DID!
YOU'RE THREATENING
PEOPLE.
GET OUT OF HERE NOW,
OR I KILL THEM ALL!
YOU'RE MAKING IT
WORSE. GO OUTSIDE.
WE'LL TALK TO HIM,
PLEASE!
Mark: OK, THREE IDENTICAL
MARINES AT THE TABLE,
AND ANOTHER ONE COMING IN AT THE
DOOR.
EVERYBODY OUT!
WE COULD WORK THIS OUT...
JUST PUT THE GUN DOWN.
THE TWO OF YOU,
JUST LEAVE,
NOW!
I-I-I CAN'T LEAVE WHILE
YOU'RE THREATENING
PEOPLE.
HANK, DON'T DO THIS, PLEASE.
SIT DOWN!
PLEASE, HANK.
SHUT UP!
WH-WHY DON'T YOU
JUST PUT THE GUN
DOWN, OKAY?
GO PULL THE BLINDS.
SO, AS SOON AS JESSE
AND ALEX ARE OUT THE DOOR
AND NOW I NEED YOU
TO DO SOMETHING
FOR ME, OKAY?
I GOT SOMETHING
TO SETTLE.
WE COULD WORK THIS OUT...
JUST PUT THE GUN DOWN.
I'M GONNA MAKE YOU SORRY
FOR WHAT YOU DID!
Mark:
AND THEN, RAISING
THE GUN AT AN ANGLE
TO MAKE THE WOUND
LOOK SELF-INFLICTED
DAVIS SHOT THOMAS.
AND REPORT THAT THOMAS
HAS COMMITTED SUICIDE.
SO YOU THINK THOMAS
WAS AT THE TABLE
THE WHOLE TIME?
I THINK WITH ALL THREE
OF THEM LOOKING SO MUCH ALIKE
AND MARTINELLI AND ROMANSKI
HELP HIM GET THINGS ALL SET.
THEN THEY CALL OUT
ON DAVIS' PHONE
AND REPORT THAT THOMAS
HAS COMMITTED SUICIDE.
NO. THERE WAS NOTHING
IN THE BLOOD TOXICOLOGY.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW
THEY DID IT OR WHY THEY DID IT
SO, AS SOON AS JESSE
AND ALEX ARE OUT THE DOOR
AND CAN'T SEE
WHAT'S GOING ON
THE MARINES STOOD THOMAS UP.
THEY CHANGED NAME TAGS...
THOMAS FOR DAVIS.
DAVIS SHOT THOMAS.
SO THEN, DAVIS DROPS THE GUN
ON THE FLOOR
AND MARTINELLI AND ROMANSKI
HELP HIM GET THINGS ALL SET.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW
THEY DID IT OR WHY THEY DID IT
BUT I AM WILLING TO BET
THAT THAT'S THE WAY IT HAPPENED.
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW TO PROVE IT?
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
HOW COULD THEY GET SOMEONE
TO COOPERATE LIKE THAT?
MAYBE HE WAS DRUGGED.
NO. THERE WAS NOTHING
IN THE BLOOD TOXICOLOGY.
THAT'S WHAT THE THREE
OF YOU WANTED EVERYONE TO THINK
BUT THAT'S ALL
FALLING APART NOW.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
NO, MA'AM.
WHAT ABOUT CAPTAIN DAVIS
OR LIEUTENANT ROMANSKI?
WHY WOULD THEY
WANT TO KILL ME?
GLAD I'M NOT IN YOUR SHOES,
LIEUTENANT.
A FALLING-OUT AMONG THIEVES
IS NEVER PRETTY.
YOU'VE MADE SOME
MISTAKE, MA'AM.
I'M THE VICTIM HERE.
YOU'RE SURE ABOUT THIS?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
I THOUGHT I WAS HERE
BECAUSE SOMEBODY SHOT AT ME.
WHY ARE YOU QUESTIONING ME
ABOUT THOMAS' SUICIDE?
BECAUSE THEY'RE CONNECTED.
FORGIVE ME FOR SAYING
SO, BUT THAT'S CRAZY.
WHOSE IDEA WAS IT
TO KILL THOMAS?
CAPTAIN THOMAS
COMMITTED SUICIDE, MA'AM.
THAT'S WHAT THE THREE
WHY WAS CAPTAIN DAVIS
SO CONCERNED
ABOUT A SIMPLE
STALKING CASE?
SURELY YOU
COULD HAVE HANDLED IT.
I'M THE VICTIM HERE.
SOMEBODY TRIED
TO KILL ME.
AND YOU HAVE
NO IDEA WHO?
NO, MA'AM.
YOU'RE SURE ABOUT THIS?
JAG CONSIDERS HER ONE
OF THEIR TOP LAWYERS.
GLAD I'M NOT IN YOUR SHOES,
LIEUTENANT.
BECAUSE THEY'RE CONNECTED.
YOU KNOW IT, AND I KNOW IT.
WHY WAS CAPTAIN DAVIS
SO CONCERNED
YOU ORIGINALLY SAID THAT
YOU
ASKED FOR THE MEETING
WITH CAPTAIN DAVIS
TO SEEK HIS ADVICE.
I DID, BUT...
CAPTAIN DAVIS
HAD ALREADY ASKED ME
TO KEEP HIM APPRISED
OF THE SITUATION.
I DON'T THINK
THERE EVER WAS ANY STALKING.
WHY WOULD THEY
WANT TO KILL ME?
YOU MIGHT BE
THE WEAK LINK
IN THE MURDER
OF CAPTAIN THOMAS.
FORGIVE ME FOR SAYING
SO, BUT THAT'S CRAZY.
CALLED HUNKY'S?
EXCUSE ME?
IT'S A SIMPLE QUESTION.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
TO A BAR CALLED HUNKY'S?
I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK THOMAS THREATENED
TO RUIN CAPTAIN DAVIS
BY EXPOSING HIS AFFAIR
AND DAVIS TURNED
TO YOU FOR HELP.
AND WHY WOULD
HE DO THAT, MA'AM?
YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS.
THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE
ASKING HIM ABOUT.
I THOUGHT IT WAS PERTINENT
TO THE INVESTIGATION.
ANY PROBLEMS HE MIGHT HAVE...
AN ARREST FOR MARIJUANA,
FOR EXAMPLE...
WHICH MIGHT MAKE YOU WILLING
TO GO IN ON A PLOT
SURELY YOU
COULD HAVE HANDLED IT.
CAPTAIN DAVIS WAS AWARE
OF THE REPORTS.
HE ASKED ME ABOUT THEM.
YOU ORIGINALLY SAID THAT
YOU
ASKED FOR THE MEETING
WHICH MIGHT MAKE YOU WILLING
TO GO IN ON A PLOT
WITH CAPTAIN DAVIS
AND LIEUTENANT ROMANSKI.
THERE IS NO PLOT, MA'AM.
I DON'T KNOW.
I COULDN'T SAY THAT I HAVE.
IT'S A WELL KNOWN
GAY BAR, ISN'T IT?
I HAVE A REPORT THAT SAYS
THAT YOU'VE BEEN THERE OFTEN.
I DON'T THINK
THERE EVER WAS ANY STALKING.
I THINK THOMAS THREATENED
TO RUIN CAPTAIN DAVIS
THAT MIGHT SUGGEST
THAT YOU WERE GAY
AND YOU DIDN'T WANT IT FOUND OUT
HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO FORCE YOU
INTO COVERING UP
ANY PROBLEMS HE MIGHT HAVE...
AND WHY WOULD
HE DO THAT, MA'AM?
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
TO A BAR IN CALABASAS
CALLED HUNKY'S?
WITH ALL DUE
RESPECT, MA'AM
I DON'T BELIEVE
YOU'RE ALLOWED
TO ASK ME A QUESTION
LIKE THAT.
BUT, AS YOU WELL KNOW
TECHNICALLY YOU ARE NOT
MY RANKING OFFICER.
I REPORT TO MY
OWN INDEPENDENT
CHAIN OF COMMAND.
THERE IS NO PLOT, MA'AM.
THEN WHY DID THEY
TRY TO KILL YOU?
I WANT TO SEE YOU, NOW.
I HAVE A REPORT THAT SAYS
THAT YOU'VE BEEN THERE OFTEN.
YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS.
I'M NOT ASKING IF YOU'RE GAY.
ALL I'M SUGGESTING
IS THAT IF SOMEONE...
SAY CAPTAIN THOMAS... HAD PROOF
THAT MIGHT SUGGEST
THAT YOU WERE GAY
I THOUGHT IT WAS PERTINENT
TO THE INVESTIGATION.
WITH ALL DUE
RESPECT, MA'AM
YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN
TO ME WHAT YOU'RE DOING?
MY JOB.
YOU FILED YOUR FINAL REPORT,
WARRANT OFFICER.
TO ASK ME A QUESTION
LIKE THAT.
LIKE WHAT?
I'M NOT ASKING IF YOU'RE GAY.
AND IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
THAT, I SUGGEST YOU TAKE IT UP
WITH MY SUPERIORS
IN WASHINGTON.
EXCUSE US, COLONEL.
YOU FILED YOUR FINAL REPORT,
WARRANT OFFICER.
CAPTAIN THOMAS
COMMITTED SUICIDE.
COLONEL, IT IS
CUSTOM AND PRACTICE
EXCUSE US, COLONEL.
WE HAVE WORK TO DO.
AM I BEING CHARGED, COMMANDER?
COLONEL, IT IS
CUSTOM AND PRACTICE
FOR AN N.I.S. OFFICER
TO KEEP A BASE COMMANDER
FULLY INFORMED ON
ANY INVESTIGATION.
BUT, AS YOU WELL KNOW
AM I BEING CHARGED, COMMANDER?
NOT YET, LIEUTENANT.
THEN I'D LIKE
TO BE ALLOWED
TO RETURN
TO MY POST...
MA'AM.
I WANT TO SEE YOU, NOW.
BEFORE YOU COME BACK TO US.
DISMISSED.
I THOUGHT WE HAD HIM
FOR A MINUTE.
UH, COMMANDER
MACPHERSON.
I THOUGHT WE HAD HIM
FOR A MINUTE.
YOU PAGED ME?
YES, I RAN
THE SECOND
TOXICOLOGY
ON THOMAS' BLOOD.
I REPORT TO MY
OWN INDEPENDENT
CHAIN OF COMMAND.
IT IS MY PREROGATIVE
TO REOPEN THIS CASE
AND IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
THAT, I SUGGEST YOU TAKE IT UP
I WAS WONDERING IF YOU'D TALK
TO A YOUNG FRIEND OF MINE.
SURE.
IT CAUSES A SEMI-HYPNOTIC STATE
CAUSING SUGGESTIBILITY
AND COMPLIANCE.
IT'S ODORLESS,
COLORLESS
AND TASTELESS,
BUT MORE TO THE POINT
ON THOMAS' BLOOD.
BUT IT STILL TESTED
NEGATIVE FOR DRUGS.
YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH ROHYPNOL.
MA'AM.
FINE.
JUST DON'T END UP DEAD
BEFORE YOU COME BACK TO US.
YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH ROHYPNOL.
THE, UH, DATE-RAPE DRUG.
EXACTLY.
IT CAUSES A SEMI-HYPNOTIC STATE
AND THEY TESTED POSITIVE
FOR ROHYPNOL.
OH... GOOD WORK.
VERY GOOD.
AND MADE TO SIT DOWN
QUIETLY WITH THE OTHERS.
BUT COMPLIANT
ENOUGH TO STAND
WHILE DAVIS
SHOT HIM.
BUT HOW DO WE PROVE IT?
I SAID THE ROHYPNOL'S
OUT OF THE BLOOD IN TWO HOURS.
UH, COMMANDER
MACPHERSON.
DO YOU HAVE
ANOTHER MOMENT?
YEAH. WHAT CAN I DO
FOR YOU, DR. SLOAN?
I WAS WONDERING IF YOU'D TALK
TO A YOUNG FRIEND OF MINE.
AND TASTELESS,
BUT MORE TO THE POINT
ITS EFFECTS LAST
FOR SIX TO EIGHT HOURS
BUT IT'S COMPLETELY
OUT OF THE
BLOOD IN TWO.
HE WAS SHOT, HE WOULD
HAVE BEEN SUSCEPTIBLE
STILL WHEN HE WAS BROUGHT
TO BARBECUE BOB.
AND MADE TO SIT DOWN
QUIETLY WITH THE OTHERS.
NOW, WHEN HE WAS SHOT,
HIS BLADDER VOIDED.
I WENT ON A HUNCH
AND I TESTED
THE STAINS
AND THEY TESTED POSITIVE
FOR ROHYPNOL.
THESE ARE THOMAS'
UNIFORM TROUSERS.
NOW, WHEN HE WAS SHOT,
HIS BLADDER VOIDED.
OH, SO IT'S A MURDER NOW.
Steve:
ALWAYS HAS BEEN.
OH, YOU MADE A NICE TRY
AT COVERING IT UP
BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK.
NOW, YOUR REFUSAL
TO BE SATISFIED
IS VERGING ON HARASSMENT.
CAPTAIN DAVIS
YOU'RE IN THE MILITARY
AND ARE SUBJECT
TO AS MUCH HARASSMENT
OUT OF THE
BLOOD IN TWO.
SO IF THOMAS
WAS GIVEN ROHYPNOL
OVER TWO HOURS BEFORE
HE WAS SHOT, HE WOULD
HAVE BEEN SUSCEPTIBLE
YOUR AFFAIR AND RUIN
YOUR CHANCES OF PROMOTION.
AND I SUPPOSE
LIEUTENANT MARTINELLI
AND LIEUTENANT ROMANSKI
JUST WENT ALONG WITH ME
AND ARE SUBJECT
TO AS MUCH HARASSMENT
AS WE DEEM FIT TO DISH OUT
ESPECIALLY DURING
A MURDER INVESTIGATION.
OH, SO IT'S A MURDER NOW.
I SAID THE ROHYPNOL'S
OUT OF THE BLOOD IN TWO HOURS.
HOWEVER, IT REMAINS
IN THE URINE FOR UP TO 12.
AS FOR LIEUTENANT ROMANSKI,
WE'RE STILL CHECKING
BUT WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE
THAT THOMAS WAS INSTRUMENTAL
IN HAVING HER FIRST HUSBAND
SENT OVERSEAS, WHERE HE DIED.
AND LIEUTENANT ROMANSKI
JUST WENT ALONG WITH ME
OUT OF THE GOODNESS
OF THEIR HEARTS.
THOMAS KNEW
THAT MARTINELLI WAS GAY,
AND THE LIEUTENANT GOT TIRED
TRACES OF THE DRUG
YOU USED TO DOPE THOMAS
WERE FOUND IN HIS URINE
AND WE THINK
WE KNOW YOUR MOTIVES.
VERY GOOD.
I'VE TOLD YOU REPEATEDLY WHAT
HAPPENED IN THAT RESTAURANT.
NOW, YOUR REFUSAL
TO BE SATISFIED
IT'S A HYDROCORTISONE CREAM
USED TO TREAT SEVERE ECZEMA.
WELL, IN THIS CASE,
DISHYDROTIC ECZEMA.
AND THEN SHOT HIM IN THE HEAD.
YES.
IN HAVING HER FIRST HUSBAND
SENT OVERSEAS, WHERE HE DIED.
SO YOU THINK
I IMPERSONATED DAVIS
AND THEN SHOT HIM IN THE HEAD.
ANY TRACES OF FLOUROCINOLONE?
FLOUROCINOLONE?
IT'S A HYDROCORTISONE CREAM
USED TO TREAT SEVERE ECZEMA.
AND WE THINK
WE KNOW YOUR MOTIVES.
OH, WHAT WOULD THOSE BE?
THOMAS WAS GOING
TO REVEAL
YOUR AFFAIR AND RUIN
YOUR CHANCES OF PROMOTION.
ANY SKIN FLAKES?
Steve:
NO.
ANY TRACES OF FLOUROCINOLONE?
DID YOU FIND
ANY FINGERPRINTS ON THE GUN?
ONLY THOMAS'.
ANY SKIN FLAKES?
THAT MARTINELLI WAS GAY,
AND THE LIEUTENANT GOT TIRED
OF HAVING THAT
HELD OVER HIS HEAD.
AS FOR LIEUTENANT ROMANSKI,
WE'RE STILL CHECKING
SO GIVE IT UP.
IT WAS A SUICIDE.
AND CREAM
ON THE GUN GRIPS.
I CAN'T GET RID OF THIS STUFF
AND IF I HAD SHOT THOMAS,
THERE'D BE SKIN FLAKES
AND CREAM
DID YOU FIND
ANY FINGERPRINTS ON THE GUN?
WE KNOW HE WASN'T
USING IT THAT WAY
BUT KNOWING AND PROVING
ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
TOOK THE OLD .45 OUT
TO THE RANGE TODAY, HUH?
AND WITHOUT PROOF,
IT'S ALL JUST A BLUFF.
HE WAS RIGHT
ABOUT THE ROHYPNOL, TOO.
YOU TAKE IT
AS A SEDATIVE, LIKE VALIUM.
WE KNOW HE WASN'T
USING IT THAT WAY
I KEEP THINKING ABOUT DAVIS
AND THE SMUG LOOK ON HIS FACE
WHEN HE HELD HIS HANDS UP.
WE ALMOST HAD HIM.
AND WITHOUT PROOF,
IT'S ALL JUST A BLUFF.
A GOOD WAY TO
BLOW OFF STEAM.
YOU KNOW, THOMAS AND THE OTHERS
WERE OUT AT THE MILITARY RANGE
BEFORE THEY CAME
TO BARBECUE BOB.
WELL, IN THIS CASE,
DISHYDROTIC ECZEMA.
CAUGHT IT AT CAMP LEJEUNE.
SEE, EVEN WITH
THE FLOUROCINOLONE
WE'VE BEEN TALKING
TO CAPTAIN DAVIS.
WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?
WELL, WE REALLY EXPECTED
WE'D HAVE TO GET ONE OF YOU
TO BREAK BEFORE
WE COULD PROVE
YOU WERE INVOLVED
IN THIS CONSPIRACY
I KEEP THINKING ABOUT DAVIS
AND THE SMUG LOOK ON HIS FACE
BEFORE THEY CAME
TO BARBECUE BOB.
YEAH, IS THAT IMPORTANT?
I GOT AN IDEA
IT COULD BE VERY IMPORTANT.
COME TO MAKE
SOME MORE ACCUSATIONS
BASED ON YOUR
UNPROVABLE THEORIES?
WE'VE BEEN TALKING
TO CAPTAIN DAVIS.
DO YOU EXPECT ME
TO BREAK DOWN AND CONFESS?
YOU GUYS
ARE RIDICULOUS.
THOMAS' PRINTS WERE
ON THE OUTSIDE OF HIS GUN.
TOOK THE OLD .45 OUT
TO THE RANGE TODAY, HUH?
YEAH.
A GOOD WAY TO
BLOW OFF STEAM.
THOMAS' PRINTS WERE
ON THE OUTSIDE OF HIS GUN.
SO?
WELL, SOMEBODY HAD
TO RELOAD THOMAS' GUN
WHEN YOU LEFT THE FIRING RANGE
AND YOUR FINGERPRINTS
WERE ALL OVER THE MAGAZINE
AND THE BULLETS.
I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.
YOU WERE INVOLVED
IN THIS CONSPIRACY
BUT THEN IT BECAME UNNECESSARY.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WELL, I HAD THE DYNAMICS OF THIS
SITUATION A LITTLE BIT WRONG.
WHY DID YOU GO ALONG WITH IT?
HE SENT MY HUSBAND
TO BOSNIA, WHERE HE WAS KILLED.
I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.
SHUT UP.
ROBERT AND DAVIS PLANNED IT.
LOOK, DAVIS KNEW
HE WOULD LOSE
HE SENT MY HUSBAND
TO BOSNIA, WHERE HE WAS KILLED.
I MEAN...
HE-HE TOLD ME ABOUT IT
WHEN I BROKE UP WITH HIM
AND, AND THEN
HE BRAGGED ABOUT IT.
HE ONLY DID IT
SO HE COULD HAVE ME.
I HATED HIM.
WELL, I HAD THE DYNAMICS OF THIS
SITUATION A LITTLE BIT WRONG.
DAVIS DIDN'T SHOOT THOMAS.
YOU DID.
DO YOU EXPECT ME
TO BREAK DOWN AND CONFESS?
I HATED HIM.
JEAN, SHUT YOUR MOUTH.
He's bluffing.
Just keep your mouth shut
AND IT'S GOING TO BE
THEIR WORD
AGAINST OURS.
SMILE.
HE'S ON THE MOVE. LET'S GO.
LOOK, DAVIS KNEW
HE WOULD LOSE
THE PROMOTION
IF HIS AFFAIR CAME OUT.
WHY DID YOU GO ALONG WITH IT?
OH, FUNNY.
NOT BAD FOR AN ARMY GUY.
SMILE.
YOU'RE ON
CANDID CAMERA.
DID YOU GET IT ALL?
I MIGHT EVEN GET
YOU A SEGMENT
ON AMERICA'S SLOPPIET
POLICE CHASES.
OH, FUNNY.
THIS IS
A BIG STEP.
I KNOW. THAT'S WHY
I WANT ALL YOUR SUPPORT.
I'M SURE YOU'RE
DOING THE RIGHT THING.
WELL, AFTER
I'M SWORN IN
FOUR YEARS OF SERVICE.
UNTIL THEN, I'LL BE ENROLLED
IN THE ROTC PROGRAM.
MM.
NOT BAD FOR AN ARMY GUY.
SURE YOU WANT
US ALL HERE?
OF COURSE I DO.
YOU GUYS
ARE MY FAMILY.
THIS IS
A BIG STEP.
WHY WORRY ABOUT
WHO SHOT AT MARTINELLI?
'CAUSE THIS TIME
THEIR ALIBIS ARE REAL.
HANNAH...
WE'LL BE RIGHT IN.
NICE JOB.
YEAH, IT WAS,
WASN'T IT?
DID YOU GET IT ALL?
THE CONSTITUTION
OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA AND PROTECT HER
AGAINST ALL ENEMIES
I DO.
I DID SOME CHECKING.
BOTH DAVIS AND ROMANSKI
HAVE SOLID ALIBIS
FOR THE NIGHT
MARTINELLI
WAS SHOT AT.
HANNAH...
AN INVESTIGATOR THAT,
UH... WASN'T VERY GOOD
OR DIDN'T BELIEVE IN HERSELF
MIGHT HAVE TO STOOP
WELL, AFTER
I'M SWORN IN
THE NAVY WILL PAY FOR ME
TO FINISH MEDICAL SCHOOL
AND THEN, AFTERWARDS,
I'LL OWE THEM
FOUR YEARS OF SERVICE.
COME ON, THEY'RE
WAITING ON US.
Alex:
HERE WE GO.
Macpherson:
AND YOU SWEAR TO UPHOLD
THE CONSTITUTION
OF THE UNITED STATES
MIGHT HAVE TO STOOP
TO TRICKS LIKE THAT
TO FORCE A CONFESSION
BUT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO.
FOR THE NIGHT
MARTINELLI
WAS SHOT AT.
THEY'VE ALL CONFESSED
TO THE MURDER.
WHY WORRY ABOUT
WHO SHOT AT MARTINELLI?
MIGHT HAVE TO STOOP
TO TRICKS LIKE THAT
TO FORCE A CONFESSION
BUT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO.
YOU'RE TOO GOOD, HANNAH.
I DO.
WELCOME TO THE
NAVY, CADET.
THANK YOU.
