NYPD Blue (1993–2005): Season 5, Episode 6 - Dead Man Talking - full transcript

HEY.

WHAT DO WE GOT?

2 D. O. A. s‐‐
MOTHER AND A LITTLE BOY.

NAME'S ANGELOS,
BOTH SHOT IN THE HEAD.

HUSBAND'S GUT‐SHOT,
BUT HE'S GONNA MAKE IT.

THEY CUT THE GLASS
AROUND THE INSIDE DOOR
TO GAIN ACCESS.

PRETTY FINE JOB
FOR A HOME INVASION.

MAKE A NOTE OF THAT.

Paramedic:
COMING THROUGH!

MR. ANGELOS, DETECTIVES.
CAN YOU TELL US WHAT
HAPPENED, SIR?

COULDN'T...STOP...



HE'LL BE
ALL RIGHT?

HE'S IN SHOCK.
HE SHOULD BE OK LATER.

WE'RE TAKING HIM
TO BELLEVUE.

THAT'LL PUT HIM BACK
IN SHOCK RIGHT THERE.

THERE'S BLOOD
ON THE SHEETS,

BUT THE BLANKETS
ARE PRETTY CLEAN.

NOT TOO MUCH
RANSACKING.

NOTHING REALLY
UNDER HER FINGERNAILS
TO INDICATE A STRUGGLE,

BUT I WANT TO BAG
HER HANDS ANYWAY.

AW, HELL.

LOOK AT HIS LITTLE LEGS.

WE NEED TO TALK
TO THE FATHER AGAIN.

HOW'S THIS GUY ALIVE
WITH HIS KID DEAD?

HOW YOU FEELING,
MR. ANGELOS?



WHAT AM I GONNA DO?

WE'RE SORRY TO PRESS
YOU ON THIS,

BUT, YOU KNOW,
ANY INFORMATION THAT
YOU CAN GIVE US RIGHT NOW

MIGHT HELP TO LEAD
TO A QUICK ARREST.

I WANT YOU TO FIND
THE SON OF A BITCH.

ABOUT 5:00 THIS MORNING,
I HEARD SOUNDS...

IN THE KITCHEN‐‐RUSTLING.

BUT JOSHIE CRIES AT NIGHT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST HIM
RUSTLING THE CRIB.

AND THIS GUY BUSTS IN.
I GET SHOT.

I LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS,
THEN I REGAIN CONSCIOUSNESS.

THEN I SAW THE SAME THING
YOU DID.

YOU GET ANY KIND
OF LOOK AT THIS GUY?

HE WORE A MASK. UH...

THE NEIGHBORS, THEY MUST'VE
HEARD OR SEEN SOMETHING.

WE HAVEN'T GOT
ANYTHING YET
OFF OUR CANVASS.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO TELL YOU.

WELL, UH, OBVIOUSLY,
IF YOU THINK OF
ANYTHING...

LET US KNOW.

I COULDN'T SAVE 'EM.

I TRIED...

BUT I COULDN'T.

YOU REST UP.

Fancy:
SO, WHAT'D YOU GET?

Simone:
HUSBAND'S GUT‐SHOT.

WIFE AND BABY,
2 BULLETS TO THE HEAD.

ONLY NEIGHBOR HEARD ANYTHING
THOUGHT IT WAS A WAR MOVIE.

HUSBAND GONNA MAKE IT?

HE'S ALL RIGHT. THEY'RE
GONNA RELEASE HIM
A LITTLE LATER ON.

WE'RE GONNA LOOK INTO HIM
A LITTLE BIT.

THE D. O. A. WIFE'S
MOTHER'S COMING IN.

SEE WHAT SHE THOUGHT
OF HER SON‐IN‐LAW.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU
LIKE HIM A LITTLE.

YOU KNOW, WIFE
AND CHILD GET KILLED,
YOU WOULD'VE LIKED

TO SEE HIM MAYBE
TAKE 1 OR 2 MORE BULLETS.

Naomi:
LIEUTENANT?
YEAH.

THIS GENTLEMAN SAYS
HE'S A FRIEND.

HE'S NOT LYING.

HARVEY!

IT'S GREAT
TO SEE YOU.

IT'S GREAT
BEING SEEN.

HOW YOU BEEN?
I'M DOING GOOD.

LAST TIME I SAW YOU,
FACE, YOU JUST GOT
YOUR FIRST CHEST HAIR.

AW, GET IN MY OFFICE
AND STOP TELLING STORIES.

HI.
MORNING.

HOW YOU DOING?

I‐‐I‐‐I BROUGHT YOU
SOMETHING.

WELL, I CAN'T WAIT
TO HEAR THIS.

IT'S NOT MUCH MORE
THAN A GARAGE TAPE.

I SELL 'EM AT MY GIGS.

I WANT TO BUY THIS
FROM YOU.

NAW, FACE...

IT'S A GIFT.

SO, HARVEY...

EVERYTHING OK WITH YOU?

YEAH, WELL,
I GOT MY MISERIES,
BUT I'M ALL RIGHT.

OH.

LILLIAN AND I HAVE BEEN
MARRIED 15 YEARS.

2 GIRLS AND A BOY.

THAT'S GREAT.

YEAH.

PRETTY MUCH
I GOT MY MUSIC.

THAT'S GOOD.

SO, HARVEY,
HOW ABOUT I GET YOU
A GLASS OF WATER

OR SOMETHING ELSE
TO DRINK?

NAW,
TO TELL THE TRUTH, FACE,

I WAS JUST PRETTY MUCH
ABOUT STOPPING TO SAY HI.

HOW'D YOU FIND ME?

I GUESS SOMEBODY
MUST'VE JUST TOLD ME.

I GOTTA SPLIT, ARTHUR.

IT'S GOOD‐‐
GOOD TO SEE YOU.

YEAH, YEAH,
ALL RIGHT, HARVEY.

BUT I WANT YOU
TO CALL ME WHEN IT'S
A BETTER TIME, OK?

I WILL DO THAT.
I'LL DO THAT.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]
OK, LET ME
WALK YOU OUT.

NO, THANKS.
THANKS A LOT.

GOOD SEEING YOU

DOING SO WELL,
ARTHUR.

YEAH. 15th SQUAD.

YEAH, ALL RIGHT.

WHAT'S THAT‐‐THIRD?

GOT IT.

DIANE, YOU'RE UP.

UM, ASSAULT ON
THIRD AND BOWERY.

GREG, JAMES...

GIVE HER A HAND?

I'LL BE BACK IN
A LITTLE WHILE.

HARVEY.

[GASPING]

HARVEY.

WHAT IS IT, MAN?

I GOTTA SIT DOWN.

OHH, THE BUZZARD'S
EATING AT ME.

YOU NEED THE PARAMEDICS?

IT'S OK.

THE SKY'S CLEARING.

SO WHAT'S WRONG
WITH YOU, HARVEY?

KIDNEYS ARE GONE.

THEY GOT SOME FANCY
INITIALS TO IT,

BUT THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

I'M DYING...FACE.

HARVEY...

ONE THING I HAVE
LEARNED FROM MY JOB...

IS WHEN SOMEONE'S
CARRYING SOMETHING AROUND
THAT THEY WANT TO SAY,

BUT THEY'RE HAVING TROUBLE
GETTING IT OUT.

FIRST THING,
I'M STRAIGHT NOW
10 YEARS.

I AIN'T HERE
RUNNING NO GAME.

OK, I BELIEVE YOU.

I KNOW ABOUT A MURDER
HAPPENED 15 YEARS AGO.

I DIDN'T SEE IT
MYSELF,

BUT I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
FOR A FACT.

GUY THAT DID THE KILLING'S
NAME IS ONUS PRICE.

THE VICTIM WAS RAY GREEN,
A MUSICIAN LIKE ME.

PLAYED BASS AND FRENCH HORN.

ONUS BROKE IN
TO STEAL RAY'S HORN‐‐

IT'S WORTH
A LOT OF MONEY.

HE STOLE THE HORN,
HE SHOT RAY TO DEATH.

HOW DO YOU KNOW
ONUS DID IT?

EVERYBODY KNEW.

ONUS PLAYED A LITTLE,

BUT HE WAS A STONE
JUNKIE‐‐PULLED STICKUPS
WHEN HE WAS SHORT.

RAY CAUGHT HIM
ONCE BEFORE TRYING
TO GET INTO HIS PLACE.

THE DAY
AFTER RAY DIED,

ONUS IS IN THE BAR‐‐
LOADED, SPENDING
ON WOMEN.

HE'S THE ONE DID IT.

LOOK, HARVEY,

SICK AS YOU ARE,

COMING FORWARD
AFTER 15 YEARS,

SAYING EVERYONE KNEW THAT
THIS ONUS DID THE KILLING,

SOMETHING ABOUT THAT
DOESN'T ADD UP.

WELL,
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I MEAN, ESSENTIALLY YOU'RE
COMING FORWARD WITH A RUMOR.

EVERYBODY KNEW,
ARTHUR‐‐

DAMN.

ONUS IS STILL
OUT THERE.

HE'S SELLING DRUGS.
HE'S‐‐HE'S BREAKING IN.

LOOK, LOOK, HARVEY.

IF WE'RE GONNA
GO AFTER THIS GUY
FOR THE HOMICIDE,

I'D HAVE TO HAVE MORE
THAN WHAT YOU TOLD ME.

NOW, DID YOU HAVE
SOMETHING TO DO
WITH THIS?

IS THAT WHY YOU'RE COMING
FORWARD AFTER ALL THIS TIME?

I DROVE HIM.

ALL RIGHT.

ONUS HAD HIS OWN PLACE
IN THAT BUILDING.

I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT
HE WENT UPSTAIRS TO DO.

I DIDN'T REALIZE
TILL THEY FOUND RAY.

THEN I‐‐I WAS
TOO SCARED TO
SAY ANYTHING.

YOU GONNA HELP ME
SQUARE THE BOOKS
ON THAT, ARTHUR?

YEAH, HARVEY.

I'M GONNA TRY.

HOW'S HE DOING?

JFK.

HEY.

ERIK VOLPER. SOME KIND
OF ROCK 'N' ROLL MANAGER.

TEMP FOUND HIM IN THE JOHN
WITH HIS SKULL CAVED IN.

WE GOT HER. SHE CALLED 911.

WHAT'S HER ACT?

SOME KIND OF
BUSINESS ASSOCIATE.

TELLS US SOMEONE ALSO
TOOK SOME KIND OF TOOL
TO THIS GUY'S CAR.

IT'S ALL VANDALIZED
IN THE EMPLOYEE
PARKING LOT.

WE'LL CHECK OUT
THE BATHROOM.

GOT HER NAME?

YEAH. PATRICIA BELL.

THANKS.

I'M DETECTIVE RUSSELL,
MISS BELL.

MISS BELL.

YOU'RE THE ONE
CALLED 911?

JOHN CAME TO ME
SAID ERIK'S BLEEDING
IN THE BATHROOM.

I WENT IN THERE,
AND IT WAS JUST
HORRIBLE.

HE WAS LYING THERE TWITCHING
WITH HIS HEAD ALL CRUSHED

AND BLOOD
ALL OVER THE FLOOR.

I JUST FOUND HIM. I HAD
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO
WITH THIS.

YOU'RE JOHN?

I WENT IN THERE BECAUSE
I'M MARGINALLY
COMPULSIVE.

I WASH MY HANDS A LOT.

I NEVER EVEN MET
MR. VOLPER,

AND I ONLY STARTED WORK
HERE 2 DAYS AGO.

JOHN, YOU HAVE NO BLOOD
ON YOU OR SHOW ANY SIGNS
OF A STRUGGLE,

AND I HAVE NO REASON
TO THINK YOU'RE A SUSPECT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR SAYING THAT.

WHY DON'T YOU WAIT
OVER THERE?

WOULD IT BE ALL RIGHT IF
I WENT TO WASH MY HANDS
REALLY QUICKLY DOWNSTAIRS

AND COME RIGHT BACK UP?

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHO MIGHT HAVE DONE THIS?

ACTUALLY DO IT? NO.

MR. VOLPER WASN'T
TOO POPULAR?

EVEN IF HE WAS A NICE GUY,

YOU'RE ALWAYS DISAPPOINTING
PEOPLE, TURNING THEM DOWN
FOR REPRESENTATION.

PLUS, THE PEOPLE AREN'T
THE MOST NORMAL,
TEND TO ACT OUT.

THE ROCK 'N' ROLL GROUPS?

PLUS ERIK WAS
AN ASSHOLE.

ERIK'S MR. VOLPER.

BUT THAT'S ALMOST
LIKE AN OCCUPATIONAL
REQUIREMENT.

YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA
NEED A LIST OF EVERYONE
WHO WORKS HERE, PATTY.

YOU WANT HIS ROLODEX?

YEAH. I'M GONNA
NEED ALL OF IT.

OK. I'LL GET YOU
ALL OF IT.

LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF
BRAIN MATTER MIXED IN
WITH HIS BLOOD.

WELL, CSU
MIGHT GET A LIFT
OFF THIS DISPENSER.

YEAH, WE SHOULD
GET 'EM OVER HERE.

CSU NEEDS
TO GO OVER THIS GUY'S
VANDALIZED CAR, TOO.

SEE IF THEY GET LIFTS
FROM THAT.

YEAH, MIGHT GET
A MATCH WITH THAT
HERE.

PRETTY GRUESOME,
HUH, DIANE?

OHH, IF YOU'RE
A FAMILY MEMBER,

YOU'D PROBABLY HOPE
THE GUY DOES GO
OUT OF THE PICTURE.

YEAH, SURVIVE,
YOU LIVE AS A BROCCOLI.

LET'S GET THIS
SEALED OFF.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE
YOU COMING IN.

WE'RE VERY SORRY
ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER
AND YOUR GRANDSON.

THEY WERE TAKEN FROM ME
BY MURDER.

ANY IDEAS MIGHT
HELP US LOOK FOR
WHO DID THAT?

ANY GRIEVANCES THAT
ANYONE MIGHT HAVE HAD

WITH YOUR DAUGHTER OR
YOUR DAUGHTER'S HUSBAND?

AGAINST HER HUSBAND, SURE.

A BAD PERSON‐‐

LAZY,

DON'T WANT TO WORK,

BORROWS MONEY.

THAT PERSON'S ALWAYS
GONNA HAVE ENEMIES.

THIS IS
YOUR SON‐IN‐LAW.

BIG INSURANCE SETTLEMENT
FROM THE BUS COMPANY,

HE SAYS HE'S GONNA GET.

FOR 3 YEARS
HE DON'T DO NOTHING,

JUST SO HE CAN PROVE
HE'S GOT A BAD BACK.

DON'T ASK ME IF
HE'S REALLY HURT.

HE SITS AND PLAYS
QUICK‐DRAW ON THE LOTTERY.

DON'T MIND MY TINA
WORKING 2 JOBS.

SO DO YOU KNOW
IF ANYONE SPECIFIC

MIGHT HAVE HAD
A DISAGREEMENT
WITH YOUR SON‐IN‐LAW,

MAYBE OVER A BAD DEBT,
ANYTHING OF THAT SORT?

MY LITTLE BOY HAD A HOLE
IN HIS HEART.

WHO? WHO'S THIS NOW?

MY GRANDSON
THAT THEY MURDERED.

HE HAD A HOLE
IN HIS HEART.

MY TINA TOOK
SUCH GOOD CARE,

AND I WOULD TAKE
CARE OF HIM.

BUT THAT ONE...

PLAYS QUICK‐DRAW
ON THE LOTTERY.

YOUR SON‐IN‐LAW PAUL?

AND NOW...

SOMEONE MURDERED...

MY DAUGHTER,

MY LITTLE JOSH.

AND THAT ONE DON'T
GET MURDERED?

I PRAYED TO GOD!

PLEASE TAKE MY LIFE...

SO MY LITTLE BOY'S HEART
WOULD BE GOOD.

OH, HE COULD HAVE
TAKEN MY LIFE....

FOR MY DAUGHTER
AND MY GRANDSON
NOT TO BE MURDERED.

[SOBBING]

ALL RIGHT,
MRS. VARGAS.

I HAVE NOTHING NOW.

I DON'T EVEN MIND
COMING HERE.

I HAVE NO PLACE TO GO...

WITH HER AND HIM DEAD.

LIEUTENANT,
CORRECTIONS CALLED

REGARDING AN ONUS PRICE.

THANKS, NAOMI.

IS THAT ONE
BEHAVING HIMSELF?

WELL, HE'S QUITE
UNPLEASANT,

BUT I JUST IMAGINE
HE'S A HOLOGRAM.

TAKE SEATS, AND WE'LL
START THE INTERVIEWS

IN JUST A LITTLE BIT.

WOULD ANYONE
LIKE A BEVERAGE?

SO, WHERE DO YOU
STAND, JAMES?

D.O.A.'S
A MUSICAL MANAGER.

SOMEONE BOUNCED HIS HEAD
OFF THE SINK AND WALLS
IN THE OFFICE BATHROOM.

NO WITNESSES.

WE'LL INTERVIEW
HIS COWORKERS.

HE'S DIVORCED.
EX‐WIFE LIVES IN ASPEN.

I'M GONNA CONTACT HER.

YOU GOT A WALK‐IN SAYS HE
VANDALIZED THE D. O. A.'S CAR.

I LIKE HIS ATTITUDE.

YOU THINK HE MIGHT
WANT TO THROW IN
A HOMICIDE?

I GOTTA TAKE A CALL.

HEY.

I'M DETECTIVE RUSSELL.

THIS IS
DETECTIVE MARTINEZ.

YEAH? GREAT.

WE WERE TOLD YOU HAVE
INFORMATION

ABOUT A CASE
WE'RE WORKING.

ERIK VOLPER.
I MESSED UP HIS CAR.

WHY DON'T WE TALK
DOWN THE HALL HERE?

GREG.

I ARRIVED HERE
VOLUNTARILY.

ARE WE ALL
ON THE SAME PAGE?

OH, ABSOLUTELY,
NILS.

THAT'S UNDERSTOOD.

I VANDALIZED
THAT DILDO'S CAR,

AND THERE WERE A LOT OF
WITNESSES TO THAT PROBABLY.

AND PROBABLY
A SURVEILLANCE TAPE

IN THEIR "JEW RECORD
EXECUTIVE" PARKING LOT.

SO YOU FIGURE
YOU'RE A SUSPECT

IN THIS OTHER
UNFORTUNATE PART
OF MR. VOLPER'S DAY.

NOW LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING.

IF YOU KNEW THIS ASSHOLE,

YOU WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED
IF SOMEONE PUT HIM
IN A VEG‐O‐MATIC.

WHEREAS YOU JUST
TOOK A SCREWDRIVER
TO HIS MASERATI.

YEAH, 'CAUSE HE'S
A SICK MANIPULATOR.

HE PRESSES YOUR NOSE
UP AGAINST THE WINDOW

AND THEN...

HITS YOU IN THE BACK
OF THE HEAD.

THE POINT IS,

WHILE WE HAD WORDS
IN HIS OFFICE

AND I DID SOME BODYWORK
ON HIS CAR,

I DID NOT CRACK
HIS SKULL OPEN

IN HIS LAVATORY.

ARE YOU IN THE AID OF
ANY MIND‐ENHANCERS
JUST NOW, NILS?

STRAIGHTFORWARD QUESTION.

OK.

WOULD YOU MIND
PUTTING IT OUT

THAT I AM THE SUSPECT,

EVEN ON
THE PRELIMINARY LIST?

IF WE DO ANY LEAKING
TO THE PRESS,

WE'LL DEFINITELY SAY
YOU HAD A MOTIVE

AND GET YOU
A LITTLE PUBLICITY.

AND SAY THAT
I CONGRATULATE THE KILLER.

DID I INCRIMINATE MYSELF
WITH THE VANDALISM?

Martinez: YOU COULD MAKE
THAT ARGUMENT,

BUT THAT'S NOT THE FOCUS
OF OUR INVESTIGATING.

OK?

OK.

GOOD.

NILS.

HMM.

HYGIENE, DUDE.

THIS ANGELOS' GOT
A GOOD CREDIT RECORD.

THAT'S 'CAUSE HIS WIFE
WORKS 2 JOBS.

HE'S CLEAN WITH BCI.

HE HAD
ALL HIS PHONE BILLS

HIDDEN IN SOME
HALF‐ASS LOCKBOX.

12 CALLS IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS
TO THE COTTONTAIL CLUB.

IT'S THIS GIRLIE BAR.

AND 4 MORE CALLS

TO THE DEDICATED LINE
IN THE CLUB'S OFFICE.

YOU WANT TO WAIT ON
TALKING TO ANGELOS AGAIN

UNTIL YOU SEE
IF THAT'S A GIRLFRIEND.

Simone: YEAH. WE'RE
GONNA CHECK IT OUT.

VINCE GOTELLI.

HEY, GENTLEMEN.

NO OFFENSE, VINCE.

THIS MAN
INTRODUCED HIMSELF

AS RETIRED DETECTIVE
VINCE GOTELLI.

NO. VINCE GOTELLI
WAS A LOT SHORTER.

OH, ANDY, STILL
WITH THE JOKES, HUH?

Simone: YOU'RE LOOKING
GOOD THERE, VINCE.

FELLAS, I FINALLY WENT IN
FOR THAT OPEN‐HEART SURGERY.

I'M A COMPLETELY NEW MAN.

ALL THAT PRE‐OPERATION
AGONIZING

AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS...

I GOTTA TELL YOU
SOMETHING‐‐

IF SOMEONE TOLD YOU THAT
YOU NEED THIS OPERATION

AND YOU'RE SITTING THERE
PUTTING IT OFF, DON'T.

YOU COME OUT WITH ALL
YOUR MENTAL FACULTIES
FUNCTIONING, HUH?

YEAH, WELL,
TRUTH IS, ANDY,

I'M IN A BETTER
FRAME OF MIND.

SO, WHAT BRINGS YOU
IN, VINCE?

WELL, I'M WORKING
CLAIMS INVESTIGATION
FOR VIGILANCE LIFE.

THEY GOT ME LOOKING
INTO THE DEATH

OF THIS TINO ANGELOS.

THEY'LL FILL YOU IN.

IT'S GOOD
TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

UH, THAT'S TINA ANGELOS,
VINCE.

D.O.A. WAS A WOMAN.

OH. SO, WHAT
ARE THE ODDS

THAT IT WAS
FOUL PLAY?

DOUBLE HOMICIDE‐‐ALWAYS
A HIGH LIKELIHOOD.

WELL, ANDY, I MEAN,

DO YOU THINK
THAT MAYBE IT WAS
AN INSURANCE WHACK?

WELL, WHAT KIND OF POLICY
DID THE COMPANY WRITE THERE?

THE GUY...

CARRIED A 1.4 MILLION
TERM ON HIMSELF

AND A MILLION ON THE WIFE.

ON HIM, WE COULD
UNDERSTAND,

BECAUSE HE HAS
A BIG CLAIM OUT
AGAINST THE CITY.

BUT THE WIFE SEEMS
POTENTIALLY STINKY.

SO THIS GUY FIGHTS
THROUGH HIS GRIEF
FROM A HOSPITAL BED

FILING FOR HIS WIFE'S
BENEFITS.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW
THE POINT OF ORIGIN
OF THE PHONE CALL.

WE GOTTA GO CHECK OUT
A GIRLIE BAR, VINCE.

YOUR CLAIMANT MAY HAVE
HAD A BACKDOOR SQUEEZE.

GIVE HIM A MOTIVE
TO TAKE OUT HIS WIFE.

WELL, UH, WHICH GIRLIE BAR
YOU GOING TO?

THE COTTONTAIL CLUB.

YOU EVER FREQUENT
THAT HUTCH?

[LOUD MUSIC PLAYING]

WHERE'S THE OWNER?

HUH? WHERE'S THE OWNER?

LET ME TELL HER
SOMEONE'S HERE.

WHAT DID HE
JUST ASK YOU?

THANK YOU.

NEW YORK CITY
DETECTIVES.

PLEASE. COME IN.

SORRY I'M NOT
COMMITTING
ANY CRIME.

WELL, IF WE APPLIED
OURSELVES THERE, SHAUNA,

I BET WE COULD
DRUM SOMETHING UP.

WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?

LIVE VIDEO
ON THE INTERNET.

YOU GOT
ANY EXPERIENCE?

HEY, BE NICE.

WHAT'S PAUL ANGELOS
TALK ABOUT

ALL THOSE TIMES
HE CALLS YOU?

WHAT HAPPENED?

WHAT DO YOU THINK
HAPPENED, SHAUNA?

YOU ASSIST PAUL

RUBBING UP HIS CHUBBY,
SHAUNA? HMM?

YOU COME
INTO INFORMATION

BUILDING UP A DEEP
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP

WOUND UP USEFUL
IN A HOME INVASION?

HEY! YOU STOP POINTING
THAT THING AT ME.

I WASN'T INVOLVED
IN NO HOME INVASION
OR NOTHING ELSE.

ANGELOS' WIFE AND SON
ARE DEAD.

AND WHAT'S GOING ON
WITH HIM?

ALL HIS HEROIC EFFORTS
TO SAVE HIS FAMILY,

MIRACULOUSLY, HE ONLY
INCURRED NOT TOO BAD
OF A BULLET WOUND.

HEY! WHAT
DID I TELL YOU?

YOU KEEP TALKING.

WASN'T INVOLVED.

SHAUNA, YOU THINK
YOUR PLACE OUTSIDE
COULD STAND A TOSS, TOO?

WHAT, AM I BEING
UNCOOPERATIVE?

I DON'T HEAR ANY BIG
AMOUNT OF INFORMATION
COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH.

HE'S GOT
AN INVOLVEMENT WITH ME,

AND HE'S TALKED ABOUT,
YOU KNOW,

HE COULD POSSIBLY CHANGE
HIS, UH...LIFESTYLE.

THAT HIS FAMILY SITUATION
MIGHT CHANGE?

IN GENERAL TERMS.

AND I NEVER
PAID ATTENTION,
ENCOURAGED IT.

I HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH NO MURDERS.

AT LEAST I GOT THEM
TO SIT DOWN.

DID ANGELOS EVER TALK
TO ANY OF YOUR CLIENTELE

YOU THINK WERE WRONG GUYS?

GIVING UP A NAME,

AM I ACCESSORIZING
MYSELF?

NO.

FRAN WATKINS.

I KNOW FOR A FACT
HE'S GOT A RECORD,

AND ABOUT 10 DAYS AGO,
HE WAS SHOWING A GUN OFF

WHICH I
THREW HIM OUT FOR.

HE'S STAYING
AT THE WORTH.

TWO OF THE GIRLS PARTIED
WITH HIM THERE
LAST WEEK.

AND YOU SEEN HIM
WITH PAUL?

LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS,
I SEEN PAUL WITH HIM
A LOT.

PAUL GOT SOME
SPECIAL SCENE?

YOU MEAN, LIKE,
OTHERWISE,

WHY WOULD HE BE
HANGING OUT
WITH ME?

YEAH.

HE'S GOT
A SPECIALTY.

WHICH IS WHAT?

HE LIKES
GETTING WET.

GETTING URINATED ON.

AND YOU DO THAT
FOR HIM?

WHY NOT, RIGHT? HUH?

SAVES YOU A TRIP
TO THE CAN.

RESUME DANCING.

I'M NOT ABOUT TO ARGUE

THERE'S JUSTICE
IN THE WORLD, HARVEY,

BUT ONUS PRICE
IS IN THE SYSTEM.

WHAT DID THEY
GET HIM FOR?

HE WAS STOPPED
IN AN UNREGISTERED CAR

HOLDING 80 GRAMS
OF HEROIN.

HE ALSO HAD A .25
THAT WAS USED

IN A LIQUOR STORE
STICKUP IN QUEENS.

THE D. A.'S NOT SURE
THEY CAN GO TO BAT
ON THE LIQUOR STORE,

BUT THE 80 GRAMS
IS FELONY WEIGHT.

AND PRICE HAS
2 DRUG PRIORS,

SO, BEHIND
THE ROCKEFELLER LAW,

HE'S LOOKING
AT 15 YEARS IN JAIL.

I WANT HIM TO ADMIT
HE KILLED RAY.

I DON'T KNOW WHY
HE'D DO THAT, HARVEY.

THEN I'LL KNOW FOR A FACT
WHAT I DONE.

I HELPED A MAN
KILLED MY FRIEND

GET AWAY FROM THE SCENE.

DIDN'T HAVE NERVE
TO CALL HIM TO ACCOUNT.

I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT I DONE

SO I...KNOW WHAT
I GOT TO ANSWER FOR.

WE DON'T HAVE
ANY LEVERAGE, HARVEY.

LOOK...

I JUST WANTED YOU
TO UNDERSTAND THAT

BEFORE
I TALK TO HIM.

THANKS, ARTHUR.

YEAH.

WHERE WERE YOU AT 5:00
THIS MORNING, HUH, FRAN?

AT AN AFTER‐HOURS CLUB
UP ON AMSTERDAM.

YEAH? WHICH ONE
WAS THAT?

TOO DRUNK TO REMEMBER.

YOU WEREN'T ON
RIVINGTON STREET
AROUND THAT TIME?

UPTOWN. AMSTERDAM AVENUE.

THERE WAS A MULTIPLE
HOMICIDE LAST NIGHT

ON RIVINGTON STREET,

A HOME INVASION.

A MAN WAS SHOT,

HIS WIFE AND HIS
YEAR‐OLD‐BOY
WERE KILLED.

WOW.

YOU FREQUENT
THE COTTONTAIL
CLUB, FRAN?

PERIODICALLY.

YOU KNOW
A PAUL ANGELOS?

WHY, HE DANCE THERE?

HEY. A WOMAN AND
A ONE‐YEAR‐OLD BOY.

SORRY.

WHAT WAS HIS NAME AGAIN?

PAUL ANGELOS.

YEAH, IT'S A POSSIBILITY.

WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE?

YOU NEVER DID
NO BUSINESS WITH HIM?

BUSINESS?

NO.

WHAT BUSINESS IS HE IN?

YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE
WITH THESE MORONS?

ONE STEP OUT
OF THE TREES,

THEY GOT A "WORLD
BY THE BALLS"
ATTITUDE.

MEANWHILE,
25 FEET AWAY,

THEY'RE GETTING
SENT TO JAIL
FOR LIFE.

YOU STAY COCKY,
YOU DOUCHE BAG.

THIS ANGELOS
THAT HIRED YOU,

HE'S GIVING YOU UP.

HEY. NOBODY HIRED ME
TO DO NOTHIN'.

HE'S PICKING YOU
OUT OF MUG BOOKS.

HE'S SAYING
YOU BROKE IN,

SHOT HIM.

HE DID HIS BEST
TO FIGHT YOU OFF.

BUT YOU STICK WITH
THAT WISENHEIMER LOOK

AND "NOBODY HAD ME
DO NOTHIN'."

YOU WANT TO THINK
ABOUT IT A LITTLE, FRAN?

YEAH, GO ON,
THINK ABOUT IT.

WE'LL HAVE SOMEONE
COME IN

WITH A BUCKET
OF WATER

IN CASE YOU IGNITE
FROM EXERTING
YOUR BRAIN.

YES, MA'AM.

HEY, LIEU.

YOU GETTING
ANYWHERE?

SO FAR, IT'S JUST
DIFFERENT VERSIONS
THE GUY WAS A CREEP,

BUT WE GOT MORE INTERVIEWS
COMING IN THE REST
OF THE AFTERNOON.

EX‐WIFE SAYS SHE MOVED
2,000 MILES AWAY

SO SHE WOULDN'T KILL HIM.

COHEN.

THANKS
FOR COMING IN.

FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS
IN THAT RED‐HOT GREEN CASE?

I WANT YOU TO WATCH
THIS INTERVIEW.

IT'S A HOMICIDE
FROM THE EARLY DAYS

OF THE REAGAN
ADMINISTRATION.

20 YEARS FROM NOW,

WE MAY STILL BE
WORKING ON THIS ONE.

SO, THIS ABOUT RUNS
THE STRING OUT,

HUH, ONUS?

IS THAT SO?

A‐FELONY WEIGHT,

YOUR SHEET.

YOU TELL ME.

STRANGE SYSTEM.

YOU NEVER KNOW HOW
THINGS FALL OUT.

SO, ONUS, YOU'RE FRIENDS
WITH HARVEY BOUTIER.

WE AIN'T TIGHT.

HIS NAME CAME UP
ON A MURDER

15 YEARS AGO.

GUY NAMED RAY GREEN.

YEAH, I DON'T
KNOW ABOUT IT.

YOU DON'T?

15 YEARS IS A LONG TIME.

YOU HELP US WITH
THE GREEN HOMICIDE,

MAYBE YOU GET HELP
ON THIS WEIGHT
YOU WERE HOLDING.

WHAT YOU THINK
BOUTIER DID?

YOU TELL ME.

THEY WAS MUSICIANS.

HE HAD BUSINESS
WITH GREEN.

ASKED IF I'D DRIVE HIM
TO GREEN'S PLACE.

THAT'S ALL I KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED.

YOU DID DRIVE HIM?

DROVE HIM THERE
AND WAITED.

DID YOU KNOW GREEN
WAS MURDERED?

I KNEW HE TURNED UP DEAD.

THAT'S ALL I CAN TELL YOU
ON THAT ONE.

GET ME SOME RHYTHM
BEHIND THIS TROUBLE HERE,

I'LL PUT THAT ALL
IN A STATEMENT.

ALL RIGHT.

CAN HE GO BACK
TO THE TOMBS?

YEAH.

Detective:
STAND UP.

PUTTING HIMSELF
AT THE SCENE

IS AS MUCH
AS YOU'RE GOING TO GET.

IT'S HARD TO GET
SOMEBODY TO DEAL UP TO
A MURDER.

I UNDERSTAND.

I OUGHT TO GIVE
MY STATEMENT NOW.

ALL RIGHT.

VINCE?

I'LL BE A FEW MINUTES.

A HEART PATIENT,
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO STRAIN

MOVING YOUR BOWELS.

ARE WE OK WITH ANGELOS?

HE AGREED TO TAKE
THE POLYGRAPH.

HE'S COMING
RIGHT FROM THE HOSPITAL.

WE BETTER MOVE THAT FRAN
UP TO THE CRIB.

TELL JILL SHE'S GOT TO
IMPERSONATE AN EXAMINER.

FEELS GOOD,

US ALL PULLING TOGETHER
AGAIN LIKE THIS.

I'M VINCENT C. GOTELLI
SPEAKING,

CLAIMS ASSOCIATE
FOR VIGILANCE LIFE,

PRESENT WITH
MR. PAUL ANGELOS,

BENEFICIARY OF
POLICY CG79485,

WRITTEN ON THE LIFE
OF MRS. TINA ANGELOS, DECEASED.

MR. ANGELOS HAS REQUESTED
EXPEDITED SETTLEMENT

AND HAS AGREED
TO A POLYGRAPH
WHILE GIVING HIS ACCOUNT

OF THE MURDER
OF HIS WIFE AND SON.

ALSO PRESENT

AND ANDY SIPOWICZ,

AND POLYGRAPH EXAMINER
JILL HARDSTONE.

OK...

IS THAT TOO TIGHT?

NO, IT'S FINE.

SO EVERYONE'S
ON THE SAME PAGE,

I'M GOING TO TELL
IN MY OWN WORDS
WHAT HAPPENED.

Gotelli: CORRECT.
SHE'LL JUST ASK
UNCONNECTED QUESTIONS

TO ESTABLISH A BASELINE.

ALL RIGHT.

IS YOUR NAME PAUL ANGELOS?

YES, IT IS.

ARE YOU A CITIZEN
OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA?

NATURALIZED.

YES,

I AM.

I WAS SLEEPING
IN OUR APARTMENT

WHEN I, UH, HEARD
RUSTLING SOUNDS,

WHICH I ASSUMED
WAS MY SON,

WHO'S AN INVALID
WITH HEART PROBLEMS.
HE DOESN'T SLEEP WELL.

AT A CERTAIN POINT,
I BECAME AWARE
OF A FLASHLIGHT.

I REALIZED
THERE WAS AN INTRUDER.

I GOT UP FROM THE BED
TO INTERVENE,

I WAS STRUCK ON THE HEAD,

AND I RECALL VAGUELY
A SHARP PAIN IN THE STOMACH,

WHICH I ASSUMED SUBSEQUENTLY
IS WHEN I WAS SHOT.

WHEN I REGAINED
CONSCIOUSNESS,

I SAW THAT MY WIFE AND SON
HAD BEEN EXECUTED

AND I'D BEEN SHOT
IN THE STOMACH.

I THINK I LAPSED
INTO UNCONSCIOUSNESS
ONE MORE TIME

WHEN I WAS ON THE PHONE
WITH 911.

I DON'T KNOW
IF THAT'S ON THE RECORDING.

THAT'S MY FULL RECOLLECTION.

ALL RIGHT, LET HER GET
ANOTHER BASELINE.

DO YOU SOLICIT AND PAY FOR
BEING URINATED ON?

SHE'S ASKING,
DID YOU PAY SHAUNA MILLS
TO PISS ON YOU?

ALL RIGHT, TAKE THESE OFF.
THIS STATEMENT IS OVER.

I NEVER UNDERSTOOD
THE PLEASURE
IN SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

FRAN WATKINS
PISS ON YOU, TOO?

NONE OF THIS IS ENFORCEABLE
IN A COURT OF LAW.

THE POLYGRAPH IS INADMISSIBLE.

ABSOLUTELY, PAUL.
POLYGRAPHS ARE DEFINITELY
INADMISSIBLE.

OF COURSE,
WE DO GOT FRAN WATKINS
IN THE NEXT ROOM,

AND HE ALREADY
GIVE YOU UP HIRING HIM
TO DO THE MURDERS.

I WAS JUST ASKING
FOR PERSONAL INFORMATION
ABOUT THE PISSIN'.

WE NEVER GOT AROUND
TO ASKING HIM THAT.

I ATTEMPTED TO STOP
THOSE MURDERS.

SURE YOU DID, PAUL.

YOU HIRED HIM TO DO
THOSE KILLINGS

AND THEN YOU TRIED
TO STOP IT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

AND IF HE SAYS
ANYTHING ELSE, HE'S LYING.

TINA WAS SCREAMING.
MY BOY WAS SCREAMING.

I TRIED TO STOP HIM.

I SWEAR THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

THEN THAT'S WHAT
YOU'D BETTER WRITE.

I WANT TO TELL

MY PART IN KILLING

RAY GREEN.

I THINK RATHER THAN
IDENTIFYING YOURSELF
AS A PARTICIPANT,

WHAT YOU
MEAN TO DESCRIBE
ARE YOUR ACTIVITIES

AT THE TIME,
LEADING UP TO
AND FOLLOWING

RAY GREEN'S DEATH.

[CLEARS THROAT]

DESCRIBE IT
THE WAY YOU WANT,
MR. BOUTIER.

ONUS PRICE ASKED ME
TO DRIVE THE CAR

AFTER HE TOOK RAY OFF,

AND I DIDN'T ASK HIM
WHAT WAS IN
THE DUFFEL BAG...

WHICH WAS RAY'S HORN.

JUST TO BE CLEAR,
DID YOU ACTUALLY SEE
MR. GREEN'S TRUMPET?

I KNEW WHAT WAS IN THE BAG.

AND AFTER I GOT OUT
OF THE CAR

AND WALKED AROUND,

I KNEW WHAT MUST HAVE
HAPPENED.

AT LEAST RAY
MUST HAVE BEEN HURT,

'CAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY
RAY WOULD GIVE UP HIS HORN.

YOU'RE DESCRIBING
A TIME NOW

AFTER YOU'D GOTTEN OUT
OF ONUS PRICE'S CAR

AND FOLLOWING
WHAT YOU INFER WAS PRICE

HAVING ROBBED RAY GREEN?

YEAH, WHEN THEY FOUND RAY...

THE NEXT DAY,

I WAS SICK TO HEART.

AND ONUS FOUND ME
THAT NIGHT AT THE PINE.

THIS IS THE PINE GRILL.

AND ONUS SAID IT WAS BAD
WHAT HAPPENED TO RAY.

IT WAS A BAD THING
AND AWFUL,

AND I KNEW WHAT HE WAS
SAYING TO ME,

AND I HAD NO NERVE
TO GO UP AGAINST HIM,

TO...OPEN MY MOUTH...

WHAT ONUS...DONE.

AND THAT'S
THE FULL EXTENT
OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE

OF THE INCIDENT?

AND 'CAUSE I NEVER SAID,

4 YEARS LATER RAY'S SISTER
CAME UP FROM GEORGIA,

AND I...AVOIDED
BEING FRIENDS WITH HER.

AND BEHIND NOT SAYING,
I SEE RAY'S NEPHEW,

AND...I COULDN'T BE FRIENDS
WITH HIM.

AND I'D SEE THAT DAMN

SON OF A BITCH ONUS

RUNNING A GAME

OR LOOKING
TO TAKE SOMEBODY OFF,

AND SOMETIMES
HE'D LAY EYES ON ME...

AND I'D...

TURN AWAY.

SO IT WASN'T DRIVING NO CAR
FOR ONUS 15 YEARS AGO

OR NOT KNOWING FOR SURE

WHAT WAS IN
THAT DUFFEL BAG.

DIFFERENT WAYS
I STAYED ON

KILLING RAY...

ALL THIS TIME.

DO YOU WANT TO SAY
ANYTHING FURTHER,
MR. BOUTIER?

NO, THAT'S IT.

I'LL MAKE SURE
PRICE IS CHARGED
FOR THE HOMICIDE.

I DON'T KNOW THAT
THEY'LL GO TO BAT,

BECAUSE HE'S
A REPEAT OFFENDER,

AND HE'S
DEAD TO RIGHTS
ON THESE DRUG FELONIES.

BUT, UH, I PROMISE
HE'LL BE CHARGED.

AND IF THEY HAVE TO CHARGE ME,
I'M READY FOR THAT.

UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES,
THAT'S NOT LIKELY,
MR. BOUTIER.

WE APPRECIATE
YOUR COOPERATION.

I WISH IT DIDN'T TAKE DYING

TO GIVE ME NERVE.

SO, UH, YOU HAVE TO BE
AT THE DIALYSIS UNIT BY 4:00?

I'M GONNA PLAY HOOKY.

GIVE ME A RIDE HOME?

YEAH, SURE.

APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

DANA
IS YOUR FIRST NAME?

UH‐‐UH‐‐DANA LENNIX.

I KNOW IT SOUNDS MORE LIKE
A WOMAN'S NAME.

OH, NO,
NOT NECESSARILY.

ANYWAY, DANA,
WITH THE INCIDENT
THIS MORNING,

WE'RE TALKING TO
ANYONE IN THE BUILDING

WHO MIGHT BE ABLE
TO GIVE US INFORMATION.

UH...I MAINTAINED
THAT BATHROOM
AT 6:25 THIS MORNING.

THAT'S MY SCHEDULED TIME,
AND TODAY I WAS ON TIME.

SOME DAYS I'LL BE
A FEW MINUTES BEHIND,

BUT TODAY
I WAS RIGHT ON TIME.

YOU DIDN'T
NOTICE ANYTHING
OUT OF THE ORDINARY?

NO.

DID YOU KNOW
MR. VOLPER AT ALL?

WELL, JUST AS A PERSON.

HE...HE WORKED
ON THAT FLOOR.

WELL, BEING CANDID, DANA,

UH, PEOPLE WE'RE TALKING TO,

THIS MR. VOLPER'S
NOT COMING OUT WINNING
ANY POPULARITY CONTESTS.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY TO THAT.

AS FAR AS
YOUR DEALINGS WITH HIM,
ANY UNPLEASANT CONVERSATION?

NOTHING OF THAT SORT?

I JUST KNEW HIM
AS A PERSON.

DID HE EVER COME EARLY
TO WORK?

OH, HE'D COME IN EARLY.

HE'D BE IN ALL HOURS,
YOU KNOW, IN AND OUT.

WHEN'S THE LAST TIME
YOU WERE IN
A HOSPITAL, DANA?

14 MONTHS.

AND WHAT WAS THAT FOR?

UH...IT WAS A MEDICAL
PROBLEM.

WHAT KIND?
DO YOU REMEMBER?

UH...IT WAS
A MEDICAL DIFFICULTY.

WERE YOU GIVEN
MEDICATION FOR THAT?

TURNED OUT
IT WASN'T NECESSARY.

THEY DIDN'T GIVE YOU
MEDICATION,

OR IT TURNED OUT
YOU DIDN'T TAKE IT?

UH, TH‐THE SECOND.

HOW LONG SINCE
YOU DIDN'T TAKE
YOUR MEDICATION, DANA?

SAY, UH, 4 MONTHS.

SO, THAT'S ABOUT IT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THAT'S ABOUT IT,
SO I'M READY TO GO.

WELL, WE GOTTA COMPLETE
OUR INTERVIEW, DANA,

COMPLETE
OUR INFORMATION.

WELL, WHAT YOU DON'T WANT
IS ME LOSING MY TEMPER.

WELL, NO ONE WANTS THAT,

BUT WE NEED TO COMPLETE
OUR INTERVIEW.

UH...DON'T GET
UNDER MY SKIN.

YOU HAVE PROBLEMS
WITH YOUR TEMPER, DANA?

I DIDN'T HURT ANYBODY.

DID YOU HURT ERIK VOLPER
THIS MORNING?

DANA, IF THAT'S
YOUR BLOODY FINGERPRINT
ON THE BATHROOM WALL,

ONCE THOSE LAB REPORTS
GET BACK, I DON'T KNOW
IF I CAN HELP YOU.

I CAN'T HELP YOU, EITHER.

DO YOU WANT
TO HOLD MY HAND
WHILE WE TALK ABOUT THIS?

SOMEONE PULLED OUT
THE TOWEL TOO HARD,

BROKE THAT WHOLE THING
AGAIN.

THIS HAPPENED
IN FRONT OF YOU?

RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.

I EXPLAINED HOW TO
CORRECTLY REMOVE THE TOWEL,

HE CALLED ME AN IDIOT
AND A MORON

AND A TOILET JOCKEY.

I NEVER RAISED MY VOICE
TO LOSE MY TEMPER,

AND PROVING THAT IS

NO ONE HEARD NOTHING,

AND THIS IS 8:14
WHEN THERE WAS SEVERAL PEOPLE

ALREADY TO WORK.

I BROKE HIS HEAD
AGAINST THAT SINK.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN INVISIBLE
EXITING THAT STATION 4.

THAT'S THAT LAVATORY,
STATION 4?

MIGHT AS WELL
HAVE BEEN INVISIBLE.

DON'T GET UNDER MY SKIN.

AND DON'T DIS‐‐
I'LL BREAK YOUR HANDS
OFF YOUR WRISTS!

I‐‐

I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY!

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

[OUT OF BREATH]

GET YOURSELF SOMETHING
FROM THE ICEBOX,
ARTHUR.

I GOT VEGETABLE JUICES
IN THERE
MAKE A HEALTHY MAN SICK.

I'M ALL RIGHT.

WISH I HAD SOME BEER
TO OFFER YOU
OR SOMETHING.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT,
HARVEY.

IF I HAD IT,
I'D DRINK IT.

[CHUCKLES]

SO, IS THIS
LIKE A SNAPSHOT?

I'M SORRY OUR LIVES
DIDN'T CROSS MORE, HARVEY.

I ALWAYS LIKED YOU.

ADMIRED HOW MUCH
YOU LOVED YOUR MUSIC.

I WISH IT HAD
COME TO MORE.

YOU HATE THINKING
THAT...

MAYBE YOU WERE JUST
A FOOL FOR IT.

BEING A FOOL FOR SOMETHING'S
NOT ALL BAD.

YOU FEEL LIKE
YOU AIN'T BEEN
FOOLISH ENOUGH, ARTHUR?

I FEEL THAT WAY SOMETIMES.

I LOVE MY FAMILY.

I THINK
I'M A GOOD FATHER,

A GOOD HUSBAND.

I'M PROUD I'VE MADE
SOME PROGRESS ON MY JOB.

AND KNOWING YOU,

THAT COMES MORE FROM
PICKIN' IN THE FIELD

THAN DUSTING OFF
THE PLANTATION HOUSE
PIANO.

SOMETIMES AT NIGHT
I LAY UP,

AND IF THERE'S A WIND,
IT SOUNDS LIKE MY LIFE
RUSHING BY.

I WONDER IF THERE WAS A FIGHT
I WAS SUPPOSED TO FIGHT

BUT DIDN'T LOOK RIGHT
TO SEE IT,

OR...IF THERE WAS A WAY

I SHOULD HAVE LET
LILLIAN AND MY KIDS
KNOW I LOVED THEM

WOULD HAVE WARMED THEM
IN THEIR HEARTS

NO MATTER WHAT COLD CAME.

I WONDER IF I JUST WASN'T
FOOL ENOUGH TO TRY.

YOU TRIED FOR ME
TODAY, ARTHUR.

AND I KNEW

YOU WERE WHO I...

SHOULD COME TO.

I DON'T KNOW
HOW MUCH GOOD I DID.

SEEMS THEY DON'T LET YOU
BE SURE OF THAT, EITHER.

WELL...

IF YOU WANT COMPANY,
HARVEY,

YOU KNOW WHERE
TO FIND ME

AND HOW TO CALL.

YEAH.

I DO KNOW THAT MUCH.

COUNTS FOR A LOT.
