Narrator: In the New
York City's war on crime,
the worst criminal offenders
are pursued by the detectives
of the Major Case Squad.
These are their stories.
This is the most stupid thing
you've ever done. I told you, Lucas...
I told you not to get
involved with those people.
If you stopped acting like a
moron and listened to me...
Please, I just need your answer.
- Yes or no?
- No, I won't do it.
Dad, please.
- Just this one time.
- Your mother thought
you'd amount to something.
Thank God she isn't here
to see what a disgrace
you turned out to be.
55's the best I can do.
I know it's not what
you want to hear,
but I'm carrying
too much inventory.
I bought it from you
guys just last year.
Look, why don't you
hang on to the car?
Somebody comes in here wanting this
exact color, maybe then I can do better.
- It's got to be today.
- 55's the best I can do today.
Okay, I'll need a
cashier's check.
This looks like,
what, 100 grand?
112.
Mr. Colter, I think I was pretty
clear about the terms of the loan.
I just need three more
days. Five at the most.
You've known this day was
coming for, what, six months?
- If you're not good
for the money, just tell me.
- No, I'm good for it.
I just need a few
more days. Please.
Thanks for the drink.
I don't care about the tax
penalties, Phil. This is an emergency.
Why do I need her signature?
What about the college fund?
Why do we have to
tell the bank anything?
Dad, Liza's father can't
coach Saturday's game...
- Sorry.
- I'll call you back.
- What about Liza?
- Her dad's got the flu.
- Can you coach on Saturday?
- Sure, no problem.
Maggie, I can't
find your sweater.
Maggie: I don't really need it.
I put your gloves out.
- You all right, sweetie?
- Just the usual work stuff.
- I'm gonna go for my run.
- We won't be here when you
get back.
Mom's coming over. We're taking
her to the Amish farmer's market.
Bye, sweeties.
- You took the last yogurt.
- Here.
Stop whining, you're
not a baby anymore.
Joan, what are
you doing out here?
- Where's Susan? Where are the girls?
- What do you mean?
I've been ringing the
bell for a half hour.
Nobody's home. I tried Susan's
cell phone, she doesn't answer.
Susan? Maggie?!
Sarah?!
Joan: What's going on,
Lucas? Where are they?
Everything's okay. It's Maggie.
She was feeling
sick when I left.
Susan said she might
take her to the doctor's.
Probably didn't want to
leave Sarah home alone.
She would've left a
note or a message.
Maggie's sick, that's all.
They're fine, Joan. I promise.
I'll make sure that
Susan calls you.
Now, could you please
let me get ready for work?
Oh God.
Oh God, please don't hurt them.
(theme music playing)
I called Dr. Charter's office.
They haven't heard from Susan.
What about the
hospitals, St. Luke's?
No, the officers at the
precinct called them.
Lennox Hill, Mt. Sinai.
Lucas lied. Maggie isn't sick.
The detective at the precinct
said you saw signs of a struggle.
No, I didn't say struggle.
The umbrella stand
was knocked over,
and somebody dropped a
carton of yogurt on the floor.
Does your son-in-law jog
this same time every morning?
- Yes.
- Eames: Any problems
in their marriage?
No, I just know Lucas has been
very preoccupied with work lately.
But you sensed that he knew
something had happened to his family?
Yes. Yes, he knew something.
Deakins: Does your son-in-law
have money? A lot of money?
I don't know about a lot.
He and Susan live very well.
We'll need information
on your son-in-law.
Phone numbers, bank
accounts, that sort of thing.
- Did you tell anyone you were
coming to the police?
- No.
You think they've been
kidnapped for ransom?
Yes, ma'am, it looks that way.
(doorbell chimes)
Hi, I'm Alexa, this is Bobby.
We're conducting a ministry
in your neighborhood today.
We want to tell you about the
good news in the Good Book.
- I don't have time.
- Sure you do.
Just look at the pamphlet.
They might be watching the
house, so just look at the pamphlet.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
If you think you can get your wife
and kids back safe without our help...
- My wife and kids are safe.
- We spoke with your mother-in-law.
- They went to the doctor's.
- Come on now, that's not true.
We know they're missing.
You want the truth? We
had a fight this morning.
My wife left with the girls. I
don't know where they went.
- Mr. Colter, you have no choice here.
- You have to let us handle this.
Everything's fine.
Just leave me alone.
You can keep these
pamphlet to read.
And God bless
you for talking to us.
Colter won't play
ball. He's scared.
Special Services just got
the paperwork from the DA's.
They're putting the
taps on his phones.
We're going to his bank.
Anything moves here, call us.
Done.
If there's any unusual
activity in Mr. Colter's
account, you'll be
notified immediately.
- How much is in there?
- $22,000.
- What are all these over there?
- Third-party checks he cashed
at the bank.
17, 32, 57...
112,000, all in
the last two weeks.
What's this check
here for 55,000?
A cashier's check
from Midtown Porsche.
The other checks are
payouts from brokerage firms.
He sold his car, he sold stocks.
Looks like he knew he'd need the money.
Maybe the ransom isn't a ransom.
He's the Chief Operating
Officer of this company.
- If he's in trouble, I need to know.
- Could you close the door?
Did he mention
any threats lately?
No.
You notice any change in mood?
Short-tempered,
you know, distracted?
No. Luke's pretty
intense anyway.
- What about financial problems?
- We're a hedge fund company.
There's always problems,
and it's always about money.
I meant personal. Does
he owe money, gamble?
If we knew he had a gambling problem,
we wouldn't be in business with him.
Anyway, his wife came into
some family money last year.
- She did?
- That's what he said.
He bought a Porsche. Took his
family to Sardinia last summer.
Cali Di Volpe...
1,500 bucks a day.
Isn't that standard recreation
for you hedge fund guys?
Yeah, well, there are
no millionaires here.
Last summer might've
been a different story.
One of the big firms
made a buyout offer.
Everything was on track,
their examiners were happy.
So Colter might've been
expecting a big payoff.
3.5 million. Then 9/11 happened.
The buyers withdrew their offer,
and then with no
bonuses last year...
Colter was living
beyond his means.
He was tapped out at the bank.
Maybe he went to the street for a loan.
- And now the loan's due.
- (Cell phone ringing)
Eames.
Okay, call us back
with a location.
We'll hook up with you.
Colter's on the move.
He's been waiting
there about 10 minutes.
Phone company's working on
setting up a trace on all four phones.
- (phone rings)
- Hello?
- Man: Lucas Colter?
- Yes, it's me.
- Do you have all the money?
- No, no. First I want to talk to my wife.
What are you talking
about, "you want"?
What you want, I don't care.
- I care about the money.
- I told you people yesterday
I need five days.
Five days is going to be
a very long time
for your family.
Maybe you want to try
harder to get the money.
Colter: I will. Just
don't hurt them.
This is your choice.
You get the money,
- you don't tell the police.
- I haven't told them.
And you'll never tell them.
They will put you in jail,
and I will come back
and kill your family.
I swear, I won't say anything.
- You love your wife?
- Yes.
And you love your
beautiful daughters?
Colter: Yes. Please.
Man: Tell me, which
one you like better?
Maggie or Sarah?
- I don't know.
- Oh.
Me, I like Maggie.
Me and Maggie are
going to have party.
And we are going to have party
until you deliver the money.
What?! Wait!
- Now talk to your wife.
- No!
Wait, what are you going to do?!
I'll get you the
money, anything.
Please, don't hurt my family!
- Lucas?
- Susan, what's he doing?
I don't know. I can't see.
No more, Britney. Come on!
- (sobbing) - What are
you doing? Maggie?
- Maggie!
- You like to fight?!
- Leave her alone!
- I like to fight, too.
You touch her,
I'll kill you! Maggie!
What's going on?
What's he doing to her?
(screaming)
Please, don't touch her. Please.
She's just a
little girl. Please.
Please, leave her alone!
- She's just a little girl!
- (screaming)
Maggie, Mommy's here,
baby. Mommy's here.
- Susan?
- Lucas, damn you,
whatever they want,
just give it to them.
Tell them I'll get the money
today. Just tell him to stop!
Susan?
Susan?!
They weren't
able to get a trace.
- Mr. Colter.
- Get away from me.
We know you borrowed money. If
you give us a name, we can find them.
You can't help me!
Lucas has a mortgage. That's
the only loan on his books.
- This loan wouldn't be on the books.
- From a loan shark?
- I don't know anything about that.
- You're his accountant.
Didn't you notice he paid off a lot
of overdue bills six months ago?
Excuse me, but why
am I even talking to you?
You don't have a
subpoena or a warrant.
We think the people he owes
money to kidnapped his family.
Oh, Jeez. Susan and the kids?
Now you want to help us, right?
I knew Lucas was trying to raise
cash the last couple of weeks.
He didn't tell me why. I didn't even
know he was having money problems.
Six months ago,
end of last summer,
how much cash did
he have on hand?
Not much.
That's when his company
got the buyout offer.
The buyer would have had
auditors going over the books.
If Lucas was dipping into company funds,
he'd have to put the money back fast.
So he went to a loan shark.
Lucas is an embezzler?
Oh, Jeez.
No wonder he
doesn't want our help.
Dad, this time I really
need that money.
No! No, no, no. I told you...
They took Susan and the girls.
They kidnapped them! I have
to give them the money today.
You dummy. Did
you call the police?
- No.
- We have to call them.
The banks close in two hours!
Listen to me! Just listen to me!
Maggie...
I talked on the phone to
the man who took them.
This...
Then he put Susan on
and she heard him raping Maggie.
He raped her.
Oh my God, Lucas.
You have to help
me get them back.
I'll call the bank.
I'll get the money.
Oh God, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'll take care of everything.
I'll get them back.
His accountant found
almost a million bucks
of unexplained income
over the last year and a half.
- Guy was stealing with both hands.
- Eames: All right, thank you.
The company found an account Colter set
up for a non-existent office supply house.
- That's how he was embezzling.
- We gotta make this guy talk to us.
Make is a big word. He's not
moved by the spirit of cooperation.
He embezzled his company.
Pick him up for grand
larceny and step into him.
(moaning)
Enough!
I think you like it this time.
I think next time
you'll like it better.
(whimpers)
Don't move.
Don't get mad at me.
I just collect a little interest
on your daddy's loan.
Get mad at him.
He is weak man.
Men like him,
they are food for wolves.
(clicks)
(phone chiming
theme from "Bonanza")
Simon: Okay.
How much?
Okay.
Yes, it's in place. Yes.
Okay.
Eames: Mr. Colter?
Mr. Colter, did you
hear what I said?
Your secret's out.
The company knows
you stole from them.
He's not admitting
to any of this.
We don't care
about his confession.
Look, you've got
nothing to lose now.
Just give us the
name of the loan shark.
Lawyer: If he cooperates,
what consideration
can he expect on
the larceny charge?
I don't care about that. I don't
have anything to say to them.
Mr. Colter, if
you don't help us,
you are responsible for
what happens to your family.
We're wasting our time.
Aren't we?
You're not scared
of going to prison.
You're scared of what they might
do to your family if you talk to us.
You're scared to death
that you might make a mistake.
How many kidnappings
have you handled?
Between us,
Detective Eames and I
have done nearly a dozen.
That's not counting
hostage situations.
And so far, knock on wood,
we haven't lost anybody.
But on your own,
there are a million ways a
kidnap victim can end up dead.
Even if you catch a
lucky break, Lucas,
you get them back
safe and sound,
unless those people
are in jail, it will never
be over for you, your
wife and your kids.
- I want to talk to my client.
- You don't need to make any deals.
- Detective.
- (knocking)
They're out.
It was all a misunderstanding.
Lucas and I had a fight,
and I left and took
the kids with me.
But we're fine.
Now please, we're very tired.
Where are your daughters?
Are they upstairs?
You leave them alone!
Hi.
You must be Sarah.
Hi, Maggie...
I'm Bobby Goren,
I'm a police detective.
Susan: They need to sleep.
Every bone in my body
tells me she was raped.
I could see it in her face. I
could see it in her mother's face.
Be that as it may, as long as
her parents won't cooperate,
I don't know of any
judge who'll sign an order
compelling a minor to submit
to a medical examination.
Forget the rape kit. We just
need a statement from her.
Same problem. No judge
will compel her to testify.
- If the girl wants to talk?
- Mother says she doesn't.
Even if she did want to talk,
in light of her mental state,
the judge would defer
to her parent's wishes.
What about the
embezzlement charge?
The idea of Colter going to jail
might convince the family to talk.
The company's backing
away from filing a complaint.
Bad publicity.
I'm sorry, we'll have
to find another way.
I was mistaken. There
was no kidnapping.
You said there were signs of
struggles, right? You told us that.
It was exactly what
my daughter told you.
It was a stupid little spat.
We can't figure out
where your son-in-law
got the money to
pay off this loan shark.
Somebody must have
given him the money.
What puzzles us, he had been
trying to pay this loan for weeks.
Why didn't he go to this
person before the kidnapping?
Maybe he did and
he got turned down,
which raises
interesting possibilities.
For instance, your son-in-law
could've facilitated the kidnapping
to extort money from
this unknown person.
I'm sure he didn't plan on
Maggie getting violated...
but if kidnapping was the
only way to get money out...
It's his father.
Melvyn Colter.
That old son of a bitch has
never given Lucas a break.
They had a fight. What's
surprising about that?
My son would try
any woman's patience.
Do you know how easy
it is for us to find out
if you withdrew a large
sum of money yesterday?
- So what? I blew it on a pony.
- Which race?
I forget. I don't
dwell on my losses.
Look, I'm going to my barber,
and if you geniuses follow me,
I'll call my lawyer, and he'll call
his friends at the mayor's office.
You don't care you were
swindled by your son?
We hear you ride
him pretty hard.
Nothing he does is
ever good enough.
You know, like when he...
got those courtside seats for the playoffs
last year, just for the two of you.
You didn't even
bother to show up.
Now he needed money.
He knows he could be lying in
front of your doorstep starving
and you'd step over him.
But your granddaughters,
well, that's the way
to the old man's wallet.
He staged the
kidnapping, Mr. Colter.
Nice try, Detective.
He didn't buy it for a minute.
He must know his son
better than we thought.
Or he knows the loan shark.
A white-collar guy like Lucas Colter is not
going to have loan sharks in his Rolodex,
but his dad's been in business
for himself for 40 years.
Might've needed some
short-term financing.
Could be how Lucas
heard of these people.
Here, I got a UCC filing
for Melvyn Colter's company,
Med-support services,
from six years ago.
Looks like he applied to the court
for temporary relief from creditors.
- You have addresses
on those creditors?
- Uh-huh.
B&C Fast Credit. That sounds a
little sketchy to make business loans.
Run the address
through central records.
Six years ago, 1219 Pell was
rented to one Carl Pettijohn.
Priors for fraud, possession of
stolen goods and loan sharking.
Come on, fellas.
We're talking about
a six-year-old loan.
Melvyn Colter and I
sorted that out eons ago.
Then let's talk about the
loan you made to his son.
$650,000.
All I see here is a normal
business transaction.
The interest's a
little on the high side,
but it's perfectly
within the law.
Carver: What's remarkable
isn't what Mr. Colter paid you,
it's that he paid
you so quickly.
- That's not my client's concern.
- Yes, it is.
- He had Mr. Colter's family kidnapped.
- That's a damn lie.
I would never hurt anybody,
least of all somebody's family.
Then someone must have
ignored your instructions,
because Mr. Colter's daughter
was raped while in captivity.
I looked at your record...
A little arm twisting, a little leg
bending, but nothing like this.
For now, I can be convinced
that things got a little
out of your control.
The dominoes are
falling, Mr. Pettijohn.
You want to get ahead of
them before they fall on you.
I got this guy's
number, a collector.
I don't even know his name.
I've never used him before.
- They told me he was good.
- Eames: Who told you?
Nicky Torres.
The guy was just supposed
to get me the money.
I told him I didn't
want anybody hurt.
Did you talk to this
collector in person?
No, I just called
him on his phone.
He's got an accent.
I don't know, East European.
As far as I know, not even
Nicky Torres has seen this guy.
Nicky Torres is a bagman
for the Two Bridges drug gang.
Anybody they use to collect their
drug debts is not going to be a pussycat.
You don't think for a minute I actually
believe Pettijohn's demurrals, do you?
The number Pettijohn called?
It's for a prepaid cell phone.
No way to trace the owner.
Maybe Torres can lead us to him.
Can we get a tap
on Torres' phone?
I'm sure we can.
Man: I let this maricon
slide too long, Nicky.
87,000 and he thinks he can run
a tab, like I'm some damn bodega.
Nicky: I got the
man on the case.
He's gonna get the
money out of Benjy for us.
Man: Benjy's got an excuse
for every day of the week.
His old lady got to pay the doctor,
his little girl got to get braces.
Nicky: He ain't gonna have no excuses
now. He's just gonna have to pay.
The tape was made yesterday. Nicky
Torres and his boss, Carlito Santos.
- Any idea who Benjy is?
- No.
Well, we'd better find out.
Some maniac's about to
grab his wife and daughter.
Man: His old lady got to pay the
doctor, his little girl got to get braces.
Man #2: He ain't gonna have no
excuses now. He's just gonna have to pay.
It's just two businessmen
talking about a debt.
It doesn't mean anything.
It means Nicky here is on
the hook for kidnapping, rape,
"You can kiss the
daylight goodbye, Nicky."
The collector... the one with
the East European accent,
the one that's going to
snatch Benjy's wife and kid?
You're gonna help us find him.
Attorney: Any
information he may provide
doesn't constitute an admission of guilt
or knowledge before or after the fact.
Whatever.
All I got is his number.
I just call him up and
tell him what the job is.
I never met the guy. I
don't even know his name.
Goren: Well, his number.
When you talk to him,
what do you call him?
"Hey, you" or...?
(chuckles)
I call him Little Joe.
You know, like the cowboy.
(laughing)
What, the cowboy on "Bonanza"?
- Nicky: Yeah.
- (laughing)
I was on the phone with him,
and I heard the music,
you know, from the TV show.
And I heard the
other phone ringing.
He told me he programs
his phone to play the tune.
(laughing)
"Bonanza." What a funny guy.
Yeah, yeah.
Now I want you to
write Benjy's name
and where he
lives with his family.
(car horn honking)
Take him!
Eames: Police!
(sirens blaring)
Let's go.
(faint phone chiming
theme from "Bonanza")
(phone chiming louder)
I...
You gonna answer that?
(chiming continuing)
Eames: Simon Matic,
born Belgrade 1969.
Immigrated in 1995,
naturalized 1998.
His visa application
says he served
four years in the Serbian Army.
- Where, Bosnia?
- Yeah, and a bunch of places
with no vowels.
Says he was wounded in action.
Let's stay focused
on his activities here.
There was nothing in the van or
his home to tie him to any kidnapping.
- No hairs, no fibers.
- Phone records?
He uses pre-paid phones,
changes them every week.
Eyewitnesses? He's
committed other kidnappings.
Nicky Torres can provide
the names of other victims.
Torres wants a total walk
in return for his cooperation.
- That's out of the question.
- Then we're out of luck.
- Give us a few days,
we'll turn something up.
- You don't have a few days.
You have 17 hours, by which time I
have to bring him up for arraignment.
With the evidence I have in hand now,
I'll be lucky to get a 10¢ bail for him.
And then, my friends,
I'm afraid Mr. Simon Matic
will disappear into thin air.
I read the preliminary
report... It was a good shooting.
Susan: I don't want
him out of jail either.
I never saw their faces.
I opened the door, they
sprayed something in my eyes.
They did the same thing
to Sarah and Maggie.
The place where
they kept you...?
They took us down some stairs...
it was damp.
Where did they release you?
At a rest stop on the thruway.
They put us in the bathroom,
blindfolded, tied up.
After a while,
Melvyn, Lucas' father,
came and got us.
Maggie was alone with him,
isn't that right?
Yes.
Has she talked to you about it?
No.
She won't talk to anyone,
not even her sister.
We took her to a therapist.
He said that Maggie
identifies with her captor.
It's what happens with hostages.
Stockholm Syndrome.
She just sits there.
She won't say a word.
She doesn't even cry.
She's just so full of rage.
We're gonna have
to talk to Maggie,
with your permission, of course.
No. She doesn't
want to talk about it.
- I won't force her.
- Lucas.
Susan, there'll be a trial.
She'll have to testify.
She'll have to face him.
- I won't put her through that.
- It's not up to you, Lucas.
All you have to do is
answer their questions.
It's important,
not just for them...
but for you and Sarah.
Please, sweetheart.
Just try.
I'm gonna close the door.
I'm Alex.
What we need, Maggie,
is to see if you can identify
the men who kidnapped you.
We don't need to go
into what happened
or what they did.
I'll start by showing
you photos,
and you tell me if you
recognize anybody.
I didn't see their faces.
Maybe you noticed
a physical detail...
The color of their
hair, a birthmark?
I don't know. I don't remember.
Eames: Maggie, I
understand you're angry.
You feel everybody
abandoned you,
that they didn't
take care of you.
You're right, they didn't.
We can't make
everything right for you,
you're the only one
who can do that.
Oh, come on.
That's the same crap she
hears from her therapist.
She's not a little girl.
She wants to talk, she'll talk.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
One of the men who
kidnapped you? Well, he's dead.
He pulled a gun on
Detective Eames,
she shot him. (mimics gunshot)
This one.
What's the matter?
You feel bad for him?
Well, anyway, he's not the boss.
Him, we have in custody.
You'd never think by looking
at him he's a sadistic monster,
a man with no soul. He's
just the worst kind of evil.
He was in the Serbian Army
during the war in Bosnia.
You probably read
about that in school.
Him and his buddies?
They raped thousands
of women and...
girls.
Raped, raped,
raped, raped,
raped, raped.
Now he makes a living kidnapping
the families of people who owe money.
He was about to
kidnap another girl
when we arrested him.
She's 14 years old.
Eames: He's a bad guy, Maggie.
He's a coward, he's
a weakling, right?
Maybe they're the weaklings.
The victims?
No. No, this guy's a sadist.
He likes to hurt people.
Maybe he just knows what
he wants and goes after it!
Maybe he's just stronger
than everybody else!
- Nobody pushes him
around, right?
- Yes.
- You like that about him?
- Yes.
- You want to be strong too,
so nobody pushes you around?
- Yes.
You don't want to feel
weak... like these girls,
- you don't want to be a victim?
- No.
You don't want to feel
helpless like you did when...
he raped you,
when you couldn't
defend yourself?
No.
You don't ever want to feel
that way again, do you, Maggie?
No.
Oh my God.
He hurt me.
He hurt me so bad.
You're not weak, you're strong.
You lived through it.
Sorry we're late.
Shouldn't you be
getting him ready for
transport to the
courthouse for arraignment?
We just have to dot
some I's for the DA.
First thing, does he want
to make a statement?
No, he doesn't.
Your name is Simon Matic,
naturalized US citizen 1998?
Yes.
You served in the Serbian
Army from '89 to '93?
It's just for
identification purposes.
Yes, I serve.
- Doing what, motor pool?
- Infantry.
But what, stocking
the selves in the PX...
typing letters?
I just don't see you going
anywhere near the shooting.
I fought for my country.
There's fighting and
then there's fighting.
- I was wounded.
- Right.
Everybody wants
to be a war hero.
- You want to see?
- Let's not get into a pissing match.
I'll take your word for it... You're
a hero of the Serbian people.
No, no, no.
My friend, you
think I am... coward.
I don't mind showing you.
I'm game. Let's see it.
That's quite a scar.
How did you get it?
Shrapnel.
What do you have back there?
- It is nothing.
- You've got ink.
Can I see?
It's a tiger's head.
And there are
dates... '89 to '93.
Your tour in the Serbian Army.
What are those initials?
Serbian Infantry Regiment.
You sure?
"S.D.G."?
Doesn't that stand for
Srpska Dobrovoljacka Garda?
The Serbian volunteer guard?
You weren't regular
army, were you?
You were in a
paramilitary group,
under the command of
an indicted war criminal.
That's it. You have gone beyond the
scope of what you're allowed to ask.
Relax, Counselor. No one's after
him for war crimes, we checked.
You called yourselves "The
Tigers," because you were...
ferocious?!
- Especially with unarmed civilians?
- That is not true.
You probably got that
scar from some poor woman
you raped who stuck
her paring knife into you.
That is lies. Those bitches,
they are all liars.
(sighs)
You know how I know so
much about your tattoo?
I've seen it before.
Somebody drew this from memory.
The dates, the letters,
all the way down
to the tiger's stripes.
She got every detail right.
You see this?
It's her signature.
Read it. Want me to help you?
It's signed Maggie Colter.
And this, my friend,
this is a positive ID.
You raped her body,
you raped her... her mind.
You turned her head inside out.
But she got you.
She got you.
Didn't she?
Now he's ready for arraignment.
That's a tough little girl.
Mr. Matic's rambling
days are over.
10 years too late.
(theme music playing)
York City's war on crime,
the worst criminal offenders
are pursued by the detectives
of the Major Case Squad.
These are their stories.
This is the most stupid thing
you've ever done. I told you, Lucas...
I told you not to get
involved with those people.
If you stopped acting like a
moron and listened to me...
Please, I just need your answer.
- Yes or no?
- No, I won't do it.
Dad, please.
- Just this one time.
- Your mother thought
you'd amount to something.
Thank God she isn't here
to see what a disgrace
you turned out to be.
55's the best I can do.
I know it's not what
you want to hear,
but I'm carrying
too much inventory.
I bought it from you
guys just last year.
Look, why don't you
hang on to the car?
Somebody comes in here wanting this
exact color, maybe then I can do better.
- It's got to be today.
- 55's the best I can do today.
Okay, I'll need a
cashier's check.
This looks like,
what, 100 grand?
112.
Mr. Colter, I think I was pretty
clear about the terms of the loan.
I just need three more
days. Five at the most.
You've known this day was
coming for, what, six months?
- If you're not good
for the money, just tell me.
- No, I'm good for it.
I just need a few
more days. Please.
Thanks for the drink.
I don't care about the tax
penalties, Phil. This is an emergency.
Why do I need her signature?
What about the college fund?
Why do we have to
tell the bank anything?
Dad, Liza's father can't
coach Saturday's game...
- Sorry.
- I'll call you back.
- What about Liza?
- Her dad's got the flu.
- Can you coach on Saturday?
- Sure, no problem.
Maggie, I can't
find your sweater.
Maggie: I don't really need it.
I put your gloves out.
- You all right, sweetie?
- Just the usual work stuff.
- I'm gonna go for my run.
- We won't be here when you
get back.
Mom's coming over. We're taking
her to the Amish farmer's market.
Bye, sweeties.
- You took the last yogurt.
- Here.
Stop whining, you're
not a baby anymore.
Joan, what are
you doing out here?
- Where's Susan? Where are the girls?
- What do you mean?
I've been ringing the
bell for a half hour.
Nobody's home. I tried Susan's
cell phone, she doesn't answer.
Susan? Maggie?!
Sarah?!
Joan: What's going on,
Lucas? Where are they?
Everything's okay. It's Maggie.
She was feeling
sick when I left.
Susan said she might
take her to the doctor's.
Probably didn't want to
leave Sarah home alone.
She would've left a
note or a message.
Maggie's sick, that's all.
They're fine, Joan. I promise.
I'll make sure that
Susan calls you.
Now, could you please
let me get ready for work?
Oh God.
Oh God, please don't hurt them.
(theme music playing)
I called Dr. Charter's office.
They haven't heard from Susan.
What about the
hospitals, St. Luke's?
No, the officers at the
precinct called them.
Lennox Hill, Mt. Sinai.
Lucas lied. Maggie isn't sick.
The detective at the precinct
said you saw signs of a struggle.
No, I didn't say struggle.
The umbrella stand
was knocked over,
and somebody dropped a
carton of yogurt on the floor.
Does your son-in-law jog
this same time every morning?
- Yes.
- Eames: Any problems
in their marriage?
No, I just know Lucas has been
very preoccupied with work lately.
But you sensed that he knew
something had happened to his family?
Yes. Yes, he knew something.
Deakins: Does your son-in-law
have money? A lot of money?
I don't know about a lot.
He and Susan live very well.
We'll need information
on your son-in-law.
Phone numbers, bank
accounts, that sort of thing.
- Did you tell anyone you were
coming to the police?
- No.
You think they've been
kidnapped for ransom?
Yes, ma'am, it looks that way.
(doorbell chimes)
Hi, I'm Alexa, this is Bobby.
We're conducting a ministry
in your neighborhood today.
We want to tell you about the
good news in the Good Book.
- I don't have time.
- Sure you do.
Just look at the pamphlet.
They might be watching the
house, so just look at the pamphlet.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
If you think you can get your wife
and kids back safe without our help...
- My wife and kids are safe.
- We spoke with your mother-in-law.
- They went to the doctor's.
- Come on now, that's not true.
We know they're missing.
You want the truth? We
had a fight this morning.
My wife left with the girls. I
don't know where they went.
- Mr. Colter, you have no choice here.
- You have to let us handle this.
Everything's fine.
Just leave me alone.
You can keep these
pamphlet to read.
And God bless
you for talking to us.
Colter won't play
ball. He's scared.
Special Services just got
the paperwork from the DA's.
They're putting the
taps on his phones.
We're going to his bank.
Anything moves here, call us.
Done.
If there's any unusual
activity in Mr. Colter's
account, you'll be
notified immediately.
- How much is in there?
- $22,000.
- What are all these over there?
- Third-party checks he cashed
at the bank.
17, 32, 57...
112,000, all in
the last two weeks.
What's this check
here for 55,000?
A cashier's check
from Midtown Porsche.
The other checks are
payouts from brokerage firms.
He sold his car, he sold stocks.
Looks like he knew he'd need the money.
Maybe the ransom isn't a ransom.
He's the Chief Operating
Officer of this company.
- If he's in trouble, I need to know.
- Could you close the door?
Did he mention
any threats lately?
No.
You notice any change in mood?
Short-tempered,
you know, distracted?
No. Luke's pretty
intense anyway.
- What about financial problems?
- We're a hedge fund company.
There's always problems,
and it's always about money.
I meant personal. Does
he owe money, gamble?
If we knew he had a gambling problem,
we wouldn't be in business with him.
Anyway, his wife came into
some family money last year.
- She did?
- That's what he said.
He bought a Porsche. Took his
family to Sardinia last summer.
Cali Di Volpe...
1,500 bucks a day.
Isn't that standard recreation
for you hedge fund guys?
Yeah, well, there are
no millionaires here.
Last summer might've
been a different story.
One of the big firms
made a buyout offer.
Everything was on track,
their examiners were happy.
So Colter might've been
expecting a big payoff.
3.5 million. Then 9/11 happened.
The buyers withdrew their offer,
and then with no
bonuses last year...
Colter was living
beyond his means.
He was tapped out at the bank.
Maybe he went to the street for a loan.
- And now the loan's due.
- (Cell phone ringing)
Eames.
Okay, call us back
with a location.
We'll hook up with you.
Colter's on the move.
He's been waiting
there about 10 minutes.
Phone company's working on
setting up a trace on all four phones.
- (phone rings)
- Hello?
- Man: Lucas Colter?
- Yes, it's me.
- Do you have all the money?
- No, no. First I want to talk to my wife.
What are you talking
about, "you want"?
What you want, I don't care.
- I care about the money.
- I told you people yesterday
I need five days.
Five days is going to be
a very long time
for your family.
Maybe you want to try
harder to get the money.
Colter: I will. Just
don't hurt them.
This is your choice.
You get the money,
- you don't tell the police.
- I haven't told them.
And you'll never tell them.
They will put you in jail,
and I will come back
and kill your family.
I swear, I won't say anything.
- You love your wife?
- Yes.
And you love your
beautiful daughters?
Colter: Yes. Please.
Man: Tell me, which
one you like better?
Maggie or Sarah?
- I don't know.
- Oh.
Me, I like Maggie.
Me and Maggie are
going to have party.
And we are going to have party
until you deliver the money.
What?! Wait!
- Now talk to your wife.
- No!
Wait, what are you going to do?!
I'll get you the
money, anything.
Please, don't hurt my family!
- Lucas?
- Susan, what's he doing?
I don't know. I can't see.
No more, Britney. Come on!
- (sobbing) - What are
you doing? Maggie?
- Maggie!
- You like to fight?!
- Leave her alone!
- I like to fight, too.
You touch her,
I'll kill you! Maggie!
What's going on?
What's he doing to her?
(screaming)
Please, don't touch her. Please.
She's just a
little girl. Please.
Please, leave her alone!
- She's just a little girl!
- (screaming)
Maggie, Mommy's here,
baby. Mommy's here.
- Susan?
- Lucas, damn you,
whatever they want,
just give it to them.
Tell them I'll get the money
today. Just tell him to stop!
Susan?
Susan?!
They weren't
able to get a trace.
- Mr. Colter.
- Get away from me.
We know you borrowed money. If
you give us a name, we can find them.
You can't help me!
Lucas has a mortgage. That's
the only loan on his books.
- This loan wouldn't be on the books.
- From a loan shark?
- I don't know anything about that.
- You're his accountant.
Didn't you notice he paid off a lot
of overdue bills six months ago?
Excuse me, but why
am I even talking to you?
You don't have a
subpoena or a warrant.
We think the people he owes
money to kidnapped his family.
Oh, Jeez. Susan and the kids?
Now you want to help us, right?
I knew Lucas was trying to raise
cash the last couple of weeks.
He didn't tell me why. I didn't even
know he was having money problems.
Six months ago,
end of last summer,
how much cash did
he have on hand?
Not much.
That's when his company
got the buyout offer.
The buyer would have had
auditors going over the books.
If Lucas was dipping into company funds,
he'd have to put the money back fast.
So he went to a loan shark.
Lucas is an embezzler?
Oh, Jeez.
No wonder he
doesn't want our help.
Dad, this time I really
need that money.
No! No, no, no. I told you...
They took Susan and the girls.
They kidnapped them! I have
to give them the money today.
You dummy. Did
you call the police?
- No.
- We have to call them.
The banks close in two hours!
Listen to me! Just listen to me!
Maggie...
I talked on the phone to
the man who took them.
This...
Then he put Susan on
and she heard him raping Maggie.
He raped her.
Oh my God, Lucas.
You have to help
me get them back.
I'll call the bank.
I'll get the money.
Oh God, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'll take care of everything.
I'll get them back.
His accountant found
almost a million bucks
of unexplained income
over the last year and a half.
- Guy was stealing with both hands.
- Eames: All right, thank you.
The company found an account Colter set
up for a non-existent office supply house.
- That's how he was embezzling.
- We gotta make this guy talk to us.
Make is a big word. He's not
moved by the spirit of cooperation.
He embezzled his company.
Pick him up for grand
larceny and step into him.
(moaning)
Enough!
I think you like it this time.
I think next time
you'll like it better.
(whimpers)
Don't move.
Don't get mad at me.
I just collect a little interest
on your daddy's loan.
Get mad at him.
He is weak man.
Men like him,
they are food for wolves.
(clicks)
(phone chiming
theme from "Bonanza")
Simon: Okay.
How much?
Okay.
Yes, it's in place. Yes.
Okay.
Eames: Mr. Colter?
Mr. Colter, did you
hear what I said?
Your secret's out.
The company knows
you stole from them.
He's not admitting
to any of this.
We don't care
about his confession.
Look, you've got
nothing to lose now.
Just give us the
name of the loan shark.
Lawyer: If he cooperates,
what consideration
can he expect on
the larceny charge?
I don't care about that. I don't
have anything to say to them.
Mr. Colter, if
you don't help us,
you are responsible for
what happens to your family.
We're wasting our time.
Aren't we?
You're not scared
of going to prison.
You're scared of what they might
do to your family if you talk to us.
You're scared to death
that you might make a mistake.
How many kidnappings
have you handled?
Between us,
Detective Eames and I
have done nearly a dozen.
That's not counting
hostage situations.
And so far, knock on wood,
we haven't lost anybody.
But on your own,
there are a million ways a
kidnap victim can end up dead.
Even if you catch a
lucky break, Lucas,
you get them back
safe and sound,
unless those people
are in jail, it will never
be over for you, your
wife and your kids.
- I want to talk to my client.
- You don't need to make any deals.
- Detective.
- (knocking)
They're out.
It was all a misunderstanding.
Lucas and I had a fight,
and I left and took
the kids with me.
But we're fine.
Now please, we're very tired.
Where are your daughters?
Are they upstairs?
You leave them alone!
Hi.
You must be Sarah.
Hi, Maggie...
I'm Bobby Goren,
I'm a police detective.
Susan: They need to sleep.
Every bone in my body
tells me she was raped.
I could see it in her face. I
could see it in her mother's face.
Be that as it may, as long as
her parents won't cooperate,
I don't know of any
judge who'll sign an order
compelling a minor to submit
to a medical examination.
Forget the rape kit. We just
need a statement from her.
Same problem. No judge
will compel her to testify.
- If the girl wants to talk?
- Mother says she doesn't.
Even if she did want to talk,
in light of her mental state,
the judge would defer
to her parent's wishes.
What about the
embezzlement charge?
The idea of Colter going to jail
might convince the family to talk.
The company's backing
away from filing a complaint.
Bad publicity.
I'm sorry, we'll have
to find another way.
I was mistaken. There
was no kidnapping.
You said there were signs of
struggles, right? You told us that.
It was exactly what
my daughter told you.
It was a stupid little spat.
We can't figure out
where your son-in-law
got the money to
pay off this loan shark.
Somebody must have
given him the money.
What puzzles us, he had been
trying to pay this loan for weeks.
Why didn't he go to this
person before the kidnapping?
Maybe he did and
he got turned down,
which raises
interesting possibilities.
For instance, your son-in-law
could've facilitated the kidnapping
to extort money from
this unknown person.
I'm sure he didn't plan on
Maggie getting violated...
but if kidnapping was the
only way to get money out...
It's his father.
Melvyn Colter.
That old son of a bitch has
never given Lucas a break.
They had a fight. What's
surprising about that?
My son would try
any woman's patience.
Do you know how easy
it is for us to find out
if you withdrew a large
sum of money yesterday?
- So what? I blew it on a pony.
- Which race?
I forget. I don't
dwell on my losses.
Look, I'm going to my barber,
and if you geniuses follow me,
I'll call my lawyer, and he'll call
his friends at the mayor's office.
You don't care you were
swindled by your son?
We hear you ride
him pretty hard.
Nothing he does is
ever good enough.
You know, like when he...
got those courtside seats for the playoffs
last year, just for the two of you.
You didn't even
bother to show up.
Now he needed money.
He knows he could be lying in
front of your doorstep starving
and you'd step over him.
But your granddaughters,
well, that's the way
to the old man's wallet.
He staged the
kidnapping, Mr. Colter.
Nice try, Detective.
He didn't buy it for a minute.
He must know his son
better than we thought.
Or he knows the loan shark.
A white-collar guy like Lucas Colter is not
going to have loan sharks in his Rolodex,
but his dad's been in business
for himself for 40 years.
Might've needed some
short-term financing.
Could be how Lucas
heard of these people.
Here, I got a UCC filing
for Melvyn Colter's company,
Med-support services,
from six years ago.
Looks like he applied to the court
for temporary relief from creditors.
- You have addresses
on those creditors?
- Uh-huh.
B&C Fast Credit. That sounds a
little sketchy to make business loans.
Run the address
through central records.
Six years ago, 1219 Pell was
rented to one Carl Pettijohn.
Priors for fraud, possession of
stolen goods and loan sharking.
Come on, fellas.
We're talking about
a six-year-old loan.
Melvyn Colter and I
sorted that out eons ago.
Then let's talk about the
loan you made to his son.
$650,000.
All I see here is a normal
business transaction.
The interest's a
little on the high side,
but it's perfectly
within the law.
Carver: What's remarkable
isn't what Mr. Colter paid you,
it's that he paid
you so quickly.
- That's not my client's concern.
- Yes, it is.
- He had Mr. Colter's family kidnapped.
- That's a damn lie.
I would never hurt anybody,
least of all somebody's family.
Then someone must have
ignored your instructions,
because Mr. Colter's daughter
was raped while in captivity.
I looked at your record...
A little arm twisting, a little leg
bending, but nothing like this.
For now, I can be convinced
that things got a little
out of your control.
The dominoes are
falling, Mr. Pettijohn.
You want to get ahead of
them before they fall on you.
I got this guy's
number, a collector.
I don't even know his name.
I've never used him before.
- They told me he was good.
- Eames: Who told you?
Nicky Torres.
The guy was just supposed
to get me the money.
I told him I didn't
want anybody hurt.
Did you talk to this
collector in person?
No, I just called
him on his phone.
He's got an accent.
I don't know, East European.
As far as I know, not even
Nicky Torres has seen this guy.
Nicky Torres is a bagman
for the Two Bridges drug gang.
Anybody they use to collect their
drug debts is not going to be a pussycat.
You don't think for a minute I actually
believe Pettijohn's demurrals, do you?
The number Pettijohn called?
It's for a prepaid cell phone.
No way to trace the owner.
Maybe Torres can lead us to him.
Can we get a tap
on Torres' phone?
I'm sure we can.
Man: I let this maricon
slide too long, Nicky.
87,000 and he thinks he can run
a tab, like I'm some damn bodega.
Nicky: I got the
man on the case.
He's gonna get the
money out of Benjy for us.
Man: Benjy's got an excuse
for every day of the week.
His old lady got to pay the doctor,
his little girl got to get braces.
Nicky: He ain't gonna have no excuses
now. He's just gonna have to pay.
The tape was made yesterday. Nicky
Torres and his boss, Carlito Santos.
- Any idea who Benjy is?
- No.
Well, we'd better find out.
Some maniac's about to
grab his wife and daughter.
Man: His old lady got to pay the
doctor, his little girl got to get braces.
Man #2: He ain't gonna have no
excuses now. He's just gonna have to pay.
It's just two businessmen
talking about a debt.
It doesn't mean anything.
It means Nicky here is on
the hook for kidnapping, rape,
"You can kiss the
daylight goodbye, Nicky."
The collector... the one with
the East European accent,
the one that's going to
snatch Benjy's wife and kid?
You're gonna help us find him.
Attorney: Any
information he may provide
doesn't constitute an admission of guilt
or knowledge before or after the fact.
Whatever.
All I got is his number.
I just call him up and
tell him what the job is.
I never met the guy. I
don't even know his name.
Goren: Well, his number.
When you talk to him,
what do you call him?
"Hey, you" or...?
(chuckles)
I call him Little Joe.
You know, like the cowboy.
(laughing)
What, the cowboy on "Bonanza"?
- Nicky: Yeah.
- (laughing)
I was on the phone with him,
and I heard the music,
you know, from the TV show.
And I heard the
other phone ringing.
He told me he programs
his phone to play the tune.
(laughing)
"Bonanza." What a funny guy.
Yeah, yeah.
Now I want you to
write Benjy's name
and where he
lives with his family.
(car horn honking)
Take him!
Eames: Police!
(sirens blaring)
Let's go.
(faint phone chiming
theme from "Bonanza")
(phone chiming louder)
I...
You gonna answer that?
(chiming continuing)
Eames: Simon Matic,
born Belgrade 1969.
Immigrated in 1995,
naturalized 1998.
His visa application
says he served
four years in the Serbian Army.
- Where, Bosnia?
- Yeah, and a bunch of places
with no vowels.
Says he was wounded in action.
Let's stay focused
on his activities here.
There was nothing in the van or
his home to tie him to any kidnapping.
- No hairs, no fibers.
- Phone records?
He uses pre-paid phones,
changes them every week.
Eyewitnesses? He's
committed other kidnappings.
Nicky Torres can provide
the names of other victims.
Torres wants a total walk
in return for his cooperation.
- That's out of the question.
- Then we're out of luck.
- Give us a few days,
we'll turn something up.
- You don't have a few days.
You have 17 hours, by which time I
have to bring him up for arraignment.
With the evidence I have in hand now,
I'll be lucky to get a 10¢ bail for him.
And then, my friends,
I'm afraid Mr. Simon Matic
will disappear into thin air.
I read the preliminary
report... It was a good shooting.
Susan: I don't want
him out of jail either.
I never saw their faces.
I opened the door, they
sprayed something in my eyes.
They did the same thing
to Sarah and Maggie.
The place where
they kept you...?
They took us down some stairs...
it was damp.
Where did they release you?
At a rest stop on the thruway.
They put us in the bathroom,
blindfolded, tied up.
After a while,
Melvyn, Lucas' father,
came and got us.
Maggie was alone with him,
isn't that right?
Yes.
Has she talked to you about it?
No.
She won't talk to anyone,
not even her sister.
We took her to a therapist.
He said that Maggie
identifies with her captor.
It's what happens with hostages.
Stockholm Syndrome.
She just sits there.
She won't say a word.
She doesn't even cry.
She's just so full of rage.
We're gonna have
to talk to Maggie,
with your permission, of course.
No. She doesn't
want to talk about it.
- I won't force her.
- Lucas.
Susan, there'll be a trial.
She'll have to testify.
She'll have to face him.
- I won't put her through that.
- It's not up to you, Lucas.
All you have to do is
answer their questions.
It's important,
not just for them...
but for you and Sarah.
Please, sweetheart.
Just try.
I'm gonna close the door.
I'm Alex.
What we need, Maggie,
is to see if you can identify
the men who kidnapped you.
We don't need to go
into what happened
or what they did.
I'll start by showing
you photos,
and you tell me if you
recognize anybody.
I didn't see their faces.
Maybe you noticed
a physical detail...
The color of their
hair, a birthmark?
I don't know. I don't remember.
Eames: Maggie, I
understand you're angry.
You feel everybody
abandoned you,
that they didn't
take care of you.
You're right, they didn't.
We can't make
everything right for you,
you're the only one
who can do that.
Oh, come on.
That's the same crap she
hears from her therapist.
She's not a little girl.
She wants to talk, she'll talk.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
One of the men who
kidnapped you? Well, he's dead.
He pulled a gun on
Detective Eames,
she shot him. (mimics gunshot)
This one.
What's the matter?
You feel bad for him?
Well, anyway, he's not the boss.
Him, we have in custody.
You'd never think by looking
at him he's a sadistic monster,
a man with no soul. He's
just the worst kind of evil.
He was in the Serbian Army
during the war in Bosnia.
You probably read
about that in school.
Him and his buddies?
They raped thousands
of women and...
girls.
Raped, raped,
raped, raped,
raped, raped.
Now he makes a living kidnapping
the families of people who owe money.
He was about to
kidnap another girl
when we arrested him.
She's 14 years old.
Eames: He's a bad guy, Maggie.
He's a coward, he's
a weakling, right?
Maybe they're the weaklings.
The victims?
No. No, this guy's a sadist.
He likes to hurt people.
Maybe he just knows what
he wants and goes after it!
Maybe he's just stronger
than everybody else!
- Nobody pushes him
around, right?
- Yes.
- You like that about him?
- Yes.
- You want to be strong too,
so nobody pushes you around?
- Yes.
You don't want to feel
weak... like these girls,
- you don't want to be a victim?
- No.
You don't want to feel
helpless like you did when...
he raped you,
when you couldn't
defend yourself?
No.
You don't ever want to feel
that way again, do you, Maggie?
No.
Oh my God.
He hurt me.
He hurt me so bad.
You're not weak, you're strong.
You lived through it.
Sorry we're late.
Shouldn't you be
getting him ready for
transport to the
courthouse for arraignment?
We just have to dot
some I's for the DA.
First thing, does he want
to make a statement?
No, he doesn't.
Your name is Simon Matic,
naturalized US citizen 1998?
Yes.
You served in the Serbian
Army from '89 to '93?
It's just for
identification purposes.
Yes, I serve.
- Doing what, motor pool?
- Infantry.
But what, stocking
the selves in the PX...
typing letters?
I just don't see you going
anywhere near the shooting.
I fought for my country.
There's fighting and
then there's fighting.
- I was wounded.
- Right.
Everybody wants
to be a war hero.
- You want to see?
- Let's not get into a pissing match.
I'll take your word for it... You're
a hero of the Serbian people.
No, no, no.
My friend, you
think I am... coward.
I don't mind showing you.
I'm game. Let's see it.
That's quite a scar.
How did you get it?
Shrapnel.
What do you have back there?
- It is nothing.
- You've got ink.
Can I see?
It's a tiger's head.
And there are
dates... '89 to '93.
Your tour in the Serbian Army.
What are those initials?
Serbian Infantry Regiment.
You sure?
"S.D.G."?
Doesn't that stand for
Srpska Dobrovoljacka Garda?
The Serbian volunteer guard?
You weren't regular
army, were you?
You were in a
paramilitary group,
under the command of
an indicted war criminal.
That's it. You have gone beyond the
scope of what you're allowed to ask.
Relax, Counselor. No one's after
him for war crimes, we checked.
You called yourselves "The
Tigers," because you were...
ferocious?!
- Especially with unarmed civilians?
- That is not true.
You probably got that
scar from some poor woman
you raped who stuck
her paring knife into you.
That is lies. Those bitches,
they are all liars.
(sighs)
You know how I know so
much about your tattoo?
I've seen it before.
Somebody drew this from memory.
The dates, the letters,
all the way down
to the tiger's stripes.
She got every detail right.
You see this?
It's her signature.
Read it. Want me to help you?
It's signed Maggie Colter.
And this, my friend,
this is a positive ID.
You raped her body,
you raped her... her mind.
You turned her head inside out.
But she got you.
She got you.
Didn't she?
Now he's ready for arraignment.
That's a tough little girl.
Mr. Matic's rambling
days are over.
10 years too late.
