cops
but don't worry i'll keep an eye on your
son for his safety
and everyone else's
uh looks like something john went too
far in a hooker we don't have an id on
her yet
any witnesses no just a hotel clerk saw
them come in together describe that john
is about 170 pounds
around 35 caucasian
[Music]
well looks like the john was more in
love than i lost
yeah uh maybe she rejected him and you
know that's that's why he killed him
i uh what are the prince were on that
buzz you just smudged
i know it's an accident so it will do me
a favor go wait in the car
yeah i'll wait in the car
great
i don't want to give him some time
charlie the guy is trouble he's
new adam were you perfect when you were
his age
i sure as hell knew not to touch
anything on a crime scene i am asking
you as a personal favor
just give rothman some time please
why man what the hell is he to you
i can't tell you that
charlie is he i.a no no he is not ia
you've got to trust me on this one adam
he's a good man that is all i can tell
you
as a favor to me please give him
some time
you get rid of me no
i'm gonna lie to you i'm not too happy
about it
all right appreciate the honesty
oh yeah yeah well let's get on with it
run the victim's rap sheet see what
comes up already done it
nothing there but a few prostitution and
possession busts nothing you wouldn't
expect for a hooker
okay from the mo
see if there are any similar cases
floating around out there you got it
your move
so uh why don't like the new guy i've
worked with rookies like rothman before
guys who joined the force for all the
wrong reasons i can't really think of a
right reason
come on guys like rothman i joined for
the excitement
i like to be cowboys break down doors
shoot bad guys now that doesn't make him
a bad cop
not but it makes him a dangerous cop
he's the kind of cop that got
plenty killed look if rothman's that bad
b then why
why doesn't pine just kick him off the
force i wish i knew
it's not because of rothman's father
he's getting to get rothman out of the
division
his father oh wait is is is this rothman
guy is he
is he one of the rothmans no the guy
with the mansion has a bowling alley
his father is michael j rothman
i just read about that dude i mean this
guy's got like a billion dollars
billion five
what my father's worth a billion five
not that it's any of your business
don't tell me kelsey told me i could
find you here
why i checked the mo like you asked
nothing came up that was similar you
could have told me that tomorrow
i know but uh then i wouldn't have an
excuse to come talk to you
away from work that's my cue to leave
checkmate i love it when your mind's
somewhere else
it's a pleasure
how much of that conversation did you
hear all the important parts
look sarge i'm not like that believe me
i'm no cowboy
yellow belly'd be more like it
why'd you go for the badge then why not
work for your father's company because
my father's company does nothing but
make money and ruin people's lives
do you want to know what dear old dad
did in evansport last week
what closed a huge shipyard laid off
most of the town bang instant ghetto you
know why he did it
so he wouldn't have to pay any pensions
what does this have to do with you
becoming a cop
you don't get it my father hurts people
i want to help them that's why i became
a cop
oh i know that sounds like a lot of
idealistic crap
no sounds very familiar it sounds like
me about 20 years ago
yeah yeah also sounds a lot more
naive than i was to you know you
you can't save the world by just putting
on a badge
i saved a life this morning maybe two
that's good enough for me
you almost lost your own life by doing
it
so i have a lot to learn
look sarge i just want to give back a
little of what my father took away
that's why i joined the force
and that's all i came here to tell you
all i'm asking for is a chance
i'm sorry to bother you off duty rothman
when i got out of the academy 20 years
ago
this man named calhoun was my sergeant
he taught me what the academy doesn't
teach you
other words he touched almost everything
what he taught me
is what's kept me alive
when calhoun was retiring i went to him
i want to know how i could repay him
he said to me just keep the chain going
just pass it on to someone else
and did you
looks like i'm about to you won't regret
it sasha
you know he seems like a nice enough guy
yeah you trust him
i want to i'm not sure i do but i want
to
thank you just found something you might
be interested in
i was cross-checking the prince on
stacey roberts the hooker that was
killed yesterday
and something came up what
last year stacey filed a harassment suit
against a rookie cop
don't tell me it's eric rothman
looks like you may be right
i hope that was wrong what's it say
rothman requested a lot of hooker cases
last year almost half his workload
what kind of cases looks like anything
involving blonde upscale call girls like
the one you found yesterday
have you ever solved any of them most of
them were never solved
man man rothman sold me bill of goods
last night
i almost bought it all i think he's
taking all these cases so he can clean
up after someone
maybe
or maybe so he can clean up after
himself
when do you start taking hunger cases
uh he started as soon as he was promoted
to detective
this is weird what stopped about six
months ago
he stopped getting involved in hooker
cases just stopped and his record runs
out in june
why just says classified leave
go to dispatch do everything he can to
find rothman
it's time for you to tell me the truth
how about what eric rothman why does he
have an obsession with hooker cases
does he unless the assignment computer
is lying
now you want to tell me what's going on
here
i'm not sure i can it's privileged
information
why did the department send him on leave
charlie was there ever any suspicion
that he'd committed some of these
murders
i'm afraid that's privileged too
here we are with a cop who looks like
he's stalking prostitutes and you want
to play i have a secret
i don't make the rules excuse me adam
dispatcher found rothman said he's
taking a sick day
kels pull his home address from the
computer i'll meet you at the car
you go gently here adam why what do you
know huh
i know rothman is in a bad situation
he's close to the edge
and that's all you can tell me
well i'll do what i have to do charlie
that's all i can tell you
how would a guy with his looks and this
much money have to pay for female
attention
like they say money can't buy love
doesn't look very sick to me
looks more like he's dressed to kill
shall we bust him what
just see where this thing
[Music]
[Music]
so
[Music]
i've got him kelsey's across from the
concierge's desk
i've got a bad feeling about this why
i've got a call girl entering past me
and she fits the profile
i see her
[Music]
so
he's moving and now we move
[Music]
this is 117 requesting backup of the
royal arms
which one did you just send the
prostitute to i don't know what you're
talking about
what prostitute i don't have time for
this now where did you send her
sweet fourth floor thank you
[Music]
you tell me why don't you live
does he look like a man who could
strangle an athletic woman to death
now you just calm down and you let me
know why you're playing the lone ranger
here
i thought i had him why
i i looked at a florist card from the
flowers yesterday
when i checked it out the floor said he
had a similar order being picked up here
today i just
i hope that gotten lucky that what
rothman why you so hell-bent on stealing
evidence and hot dogging around huh
i want to know what's going on all right
you want an answer come on
this is the guy's first known victim
she's my sister
[Music]
i became a cop to rebel against my
father
chrissy became a call girl for the same
reason
last year some sicko took her to a hotel
tied her up and beat her almost to death
she's been in a coma ever since
so i come here every day i talk to her
don't lie sweetie
you think she can hear me i don't know
yeah well nobody does
doctors specialists cops nobody knows a
damn thing
listen eric
i won't say i know how you feel but i do
understand pain
let me tell you something you keep
trying to bury this a little right up
through the cracks
eric
i hope adam missed visiting ourselves
i've got news for you michael
you missed your visiting hours a long
time ago
um maybe we should wait outside hey
good idea jim
you want to know how i really deal with
coming here every day sarge i lie to
myself
when i drive up i just pretend that
chrissy's in the car beside me it's our
old man we're coming to see here in this
bed
aren't you being a little hard on your
own flesh and blood i wasn't as flesh
and bloated was this product
so was chrissy i mean
he even set her up with the head of the
longshoreman's local to help him get a
better contract
tore her to pieces she just decided
if he wanted her to be a horrifying
she'd really be a [ __ ]
look why don't we nine out huh
go get a bite
come
everything christy did she excelled well
class valedictorian phi beta kappa
and before she got the hell beat out of
her she was the highest paid call girl
on the north side
hell of a resume huh yeah yeah
never caught this guy
it's been 11 months two weeks in one day
i saw those roses in the murder scene
yesterday and whale i was right back to
the night chrissy was assaulted
roses were found with chrissy too
i was the first cop to the hotel routine
disturbance call
it was so quiet when i entered i i
thought i was in the wrong room
first thing i found were the roses
scattered on the marble floor and that
go on
then i found chrissy
trust me sarge it was no way for the
class valedictorian to end up
is that when you took mental stress leaf
shortly after that
it's worried about lieutenant pine
that's how we knew you yeah we were in
group together
and he couldn't tell me because it's
supposed to be confidential
group's been a lot of help you know it's
been
i've been taking what happened to
chrissy pretty hard you know man it
doesn't sound like it's your fault no it
was my fault
i could have prevented it
less than three hours before i found
chrissy half dead
i was part of a prostitution sweep on
the north side
and i busted chrissy
she was in the cuffs man she was miranda
and headed for a night in lockup
then you let her go yeah
i was she was family you know she was my
kid's sister
better cower doesn't belong in lockup
listen stay here as long as you want
grady
yeah what where are you going let's say
i just got a new sense of
urgency to solve this case i'll go with
it i don't think so
you can't toss me aside not on the most
important case of my life
it's the most important case for all the
wrong reasons dangerous
i can handle it the harassment complaint
your folder says otherwise
i roasted that hooker the night that
chrissy was beaten i was out of my head
i was a different cop than i am now
i need to see this thing through to the
end sarge it might be my last chance for
that
we do this by the book of course
absolutely
let's go
adam just got a call from a hooker
working hotel row
claims to have info about yesterday's
murder where is she just waiting for you
alleyway up for green's near third
thanksgiving
you sure you can handle us buy the book
just like you said
you're a pimp calvin have a last name
yeah it's done calvin dunn and he was
also stacey roberts pimp at the time she
was murdered
a few days ago he was bragging around
how he got stacy set up with this big
money dude who
no name just said that the guy was a
little kinky but that stacy was up for
it
kinky how calvin told stacey that the
guy was into some mild rough stuff but
nothing bad
but then after he sent her over there i
overheard him say that the john put a
girl in the hospital before
i mean he knew that and he sent her over
there anyhow okay where can i find this
couch no i don't know
hey i usually find him over the spider
grill it's not on beyond street

clients just yesterday
clients i don't know what you're talking
about man

you gotta widen the field for me a
little

health no no

crazy as i want

cycle back off sarge i mean it
whoa okay okay look i don't know his
name all right he drives a
convertible blue countach the vanity
plate reads

blue blood blue blood that's all i know
never trust a bad cop
[Music]
so
[Music]
um
kelsey where's rothman just blew out of
here
great he said you sent him i didn't send
him anywhere
adam what's going on the killer's
countach was registered to rockman
industries
you think eric knows who it belongs to
that's exactly what i'm afraid of
look i don't care how long the city
council knows okay come in here they
don't give me the tax breaks
move the whole operation of guadalajara
i'm sorry mr rothman
but he just wouldn't listen you have an
appointment it's a police matter
oh yes you're that cop um i'm in the
middle of something very important here
more important than your son so how's he
screwed up this time
he may be in trouble and if he is so are
you
i'll call you back later
all right sergeant the clock is ticking
what kind of car do you drive
oh what's that got to do with anything
anyway vanity plate blue blood on a
countach mean anything to you
maybe the car's registered to your
company now what's so important about
this damn car anyway
the person driving this car may be tied
to a murder
hey look this company provides cars to
hundreds of its employees it could
belong to anybody
don't try to snow me rothman if i have
to i'll get a warrant
my son put you up to this didn't he or
is he no longer on this case
yeah he's on this case he's on chrissy's
case too
what are you talking about the person
who drives the car is the same person
who left your daughter the way she is
can't be talk to me rachman who the hell
are you trying to protect
forgotten damn it man why don't you stop
thinking about yourself for once and
start thinking about your children
i built this for my children just for my
children all of it
how do they repay me becoming a cop
i gave them the best of everything money
could buy did you ever think to give
them the best that money can't buy
i don't need any street cop telling me
how to love my children look i'm not
here to question your love i'm here
because i give a damn about your son
i don't understand when eric heard that
the countach was tied to chrissy's case
he left
he took off i'm trying to save his
career and his life
and if you really give a damn about your
son then tell me what i want to
i know believe you'd actually do that to
chrissy
who james hiller
my attorney where is he
down at our docks talking to some of the
longshoremen sergeant
if you're going down there to see
hillary take plenty of backup those men
don't like cops
they're not afraid to prove
it may be troubled and may not i just
need you to shadow me that's all
look why don't you get pine tell him and
he'll bring an army of cops and they'll
back you up
i can't if i go to charlie and tell him
what rothman's up to then rothman could
lose his badge
so what b i mean uh you think the guy's
gonna make a good cup anyway
i don't know he reminds me a lot of me
when i was his age
so that's why he's taking your neck so
far out on this one
and the fact that i have a legacy to
pass on
all right i'll go change

deal all right

uh looks like something john went too
far in a hooker we don't have an id on
her yet
any witnesses no just a hotel clerk saw
them come in together describe that john
is about 170 pounds
around 35 caucasian
[Music]
well looks like the john was more in
love than i lost
yeah uh maybe she rejected him and you
know that's that's why he killed him
i uh what are the prince were on that
buzz you just smudged
i know it's an accident so it will do me
a favor go wait in the car
yeah i'll wait in the car
great
i don't want to give him some time
charlie the guy is trouble he's
new adam were you perfect when you were
his age
i sure as hell knew not to touch
anything on a crime scene i am asking
you as a personal favor
just give rothman some time please
why man what the hell is he to you
i can't tell you that
charlie is he i.a no no he is not ia
you've got to trust me on this one adam
he's a good man that is all i can tell
you
as a favor to me please give him
some time
you get rid of me no
i'm gonna lie to you i'm not too happy
about it
all right appreciate the honesty
oh yeah yeah well let's get on with it
run the victim's rap sheet see what
comes up already done it
nothing there but a few prostitution and
possession busts nothing you wouldn't
expect for a hooker
okay from the mo
see if there are any similar cases
floating around out there you got it
your move
so uh why don't like the new guy i've
worked with rookies like rothman before
guys who joined the force for all the
wrong reasons i can't really think of a
right reason
come on guys like rothman i joined for
the excitement
i like to be cowboys break down doors
shoot bad guys now that doesn't make him
a bad cop
not but it makes him a dangerous cop
he's the kind of cop that got
plenty killed look if rothman's that bad
b then why
why doesn't pine just kick him off the
force i wish i knew
it's not because of rothman's father
he's getting to get rothman out of the
division
his father oh wait is is is this rothman
guy is he
is he one of the rothmans no the guy
with the mansion has a bowling alley
his father is michael j rothman
i just read about that dude i mean this
guy's got like a billion dollars
billion five
what my father's worth a billion five
not that it's any of your business
don't tell me kelsey told me i could
find you here
why i checked the mo like you asked
nothing came up that was similar you
could have told me that tomorrow
i know but uh then i wouldn't have an
excuse to come talk to you
away from work that's my cue to leave
checkmate i love it when your mind's
somewhere else
it's a pleasure
how much of that conversation did you
hear all the important parts
look sarge i'm not like that believe me
i'm no cowboy
yellow belly'd be more like it
why'd you go for the badge then why not
work for your father's company because
my father's company does nothing but
make money and ruin people's lives
do you want to know what dear old dad
did in evansport last week
what closed a huge shipyard laid off
most of the town bang instant ghetto you
know why he did it
so he wouldn't have to pay any pensions
what does this have to do with you
becoming a cop
you don't get it my father hurts people
i want to help them that's why i became
a cop
oh i know that sounds like a lot of
idealistic crap
no sounds very familiar it sounds like
me about 20 years ago
yeah yeah also sounds a lot more
naive than i was to you know you
you can't save the world by just putting
on a badge
i saved a life this morning maybe two
that's good enough for me
you almost lost your own life by doing
it
so i have a lot to learn
look sarge i just want to give back a
little of what my father took away
that's why i joined the force
and that's all i came here to tell you
all i'm asking for is a chance
i'm sorry to bother you off duty rothman
when i got out of the academy 20 years
ago
this man named calhoun was my sergeant
he taught me what the academy doesn't
teach you
other words he touched almost everything
what he taught me
is what's kept me alive
when calhoun was retiring i went to him
i want to know how i could repay him
he said to me just keep the chain going
just pass it on to someone else
and did you
looks like i'm about to you won't regret
it sasha
you know he seems like a nice enough guy
yeah you trust him
i want to i'm not sure i do but i want
to
thank you just found something you might
be interested in
i was cross-checking the prince on
stacey roberts the hooker that was
killed yesterday
and something came up what
last year stacey filed a harassment suit
against a rookie cop
don't tell me it's eric rothman
looks like you may be right
i hope that was wrong what's it say
rothman requested a lot of hooker cases
last year almost half his workload
what kind of cases looks like anything
involving blonde upscale call girls like
the one you found yesterday
have you ever solved any of them most of
them were never solved
man man rothman sold me bill of goods
last night
i almost bought it all i think he's
taking all these cases so he can clean
up after someone
maybe
or maybe so he can clean up after
himself
when do you start taking hunger cases
uh he started as soon as he was promoted
to detective
this is weird what stopped about six
months ago
he stopped getting involved in hooker
cases just stopped and his record runs
out in june
why just says classified leave
go to dispatch do everything he can to
find rothman
it's time for you to tell me the truth
how about what eric rothman why does he
have an obsession with hooker cases
does he unless the assignment computer
is lying
now you want to tell me what's going on
here
i'm not sure i can it's privileged
information
why did the department send him on leave
charlie was there ever any suspicion
that he'd committed some of these
murders
i'm afraid that's privileged too
here we are with a cop who looks like
he's stalking prostitutes and you want
to play i have a secret
i don't make the rules excuse me adam
dispatcher found rothman said he's
taking a sick day
kels pull his home address from the
computer i'll meet you at the car
you go gently here adam why what do you
know huh
i know rothman is in a bad situation
he's close to the edge
and that's all you can tell me
well i'll do what i have to do charlie
that's all i can tell you
how would a guy with his looks and this
much money have to pay for female
attention
like they say money can't buy love
doesn't look very sick to me
looks more like he's dressed to kill
shall we bust him what
just see where this thing
[Music]
[Music]
so
[Music]
i've got him kelsey's across from the
concierge's desk
i've got a bad feeling about this why
i've got a call girl entering past me
and she fits the profile
i see her
[Music]
so
he's moving and now we move
[Music]
this is 117 requesting backup of the
royal arms

prostitute to i don't know what you're
talking about

strangle an athletic woman to death

know why you're playing the lone ranger
here
i thought i had him why
i i looked at a florist card from the
flowers yesterday
when i checked it out the floor said he
had a similar order being picked up here

i hope that gotten lucky that what
rothman why you so hell-bent on stealing
evidence and hot dogging around huh
i want to know what's going on all right
you want an answer come on
this is the guy's first known victim
she's my sister
[Music]
i became a cop to rebel against my
father
chrissy became a call girl for the same
reason
last year some sicko took her to a hotel
tied her up and beat her almost to death
she's been in a coma ever since
so i come here every day i talk to her
don't lie sweetie
you think she can hear me i don't know
yeah well nobody does
doctors specialists cops nobody knows a
damn thing
listen eric
i won't say i know how you feel but i do
understand pain
let me tell you something you keep
trying to bury this a little right up
through the cracks
eric
i hope adam missed visiting ourselves
i've got news for you michael
you missed your visiting hours a long
time ago
um maybe we should wait outside hey
good idea jim
you want to know how i really deal with
coming here every day sarge i lie to
myself
when i drive up i just pretend that
chrissy's in the car beside me it's our
old man we're coming to see here in this
bed
aren't you being a little hard on your
own flesh and blood i wasn't as flesh
and bloated was this product
so was chrissy i mean
he even set her up with the head of the
longshoreman's local to help him get a
better contract
tore her to pieces she just decided
if he wanted her to be a horrifying
she'd really be a [ __ ]
look why don't we nine out huh
go get a bite
come
everything christy did she excelled well
class valedictorian phi beta kappa
and before she got the hell beat out of
her she was the highest paid call girl
on the north side
hell of a resume huh yeah yeah
never caught this guy
it's been 11 months two weeks in one day
i saw those roses in the murder scene
yesterday and whale i was right back to
the night chrissy was assaulted
roses were found with chrissy too
i was the first cop to the hotel routine
disturbance call
it was so quiet when i entered i i
thought i was in the wrong room
first thing i found were the roses
scattered on the marble floor and that
go on
then i found chrissy
trust me sarge it was no way for the
class valedictorian to end up
is that when you took mental stress leaf
shortly after that
it's worried about lieutenant pine
that's how we knew you yeah we were in
group together
and he couldn't tell me because it's
supposed to be confidential
group's been a lot of help you know it's
been
i've been taking what happened to
chrissy pretty hard you know man it
doesn't sound like it's your fault no it
was my fault
i could have prevented it
less than three hours before i found
chrissy half dead
i was part of a prostitution sweep on
the north side
and i busted chrissy
she was in the cuffs man she was miranda
and headed for a night in lockup
then you let her go yeah
i was she was family you know she was my
kid's sister
better cower doesn't belong in lockup
listen stay here as long as you want
grady
yeah what where are you going let's say
i just got a new sense of
urgency to solve this case i'll go with
it i don't think so
you can't toss me aside not on the most
important case of my life
it's the most important case for all the
wrong reasons dangerous
i can handle it the harassment complaint
your folder says otherwise
i roasted that hooker the night that
chrissy was beaten i was out of my head
i was a different cop than i am now
i need to see this thing through to the
end sarge it might be my last chance for
that
we do this by the book of course
absolutely
let's go
adam just got a call from a hooker
working hotel row

how he got stacy set up with this big
money dude who

little kinky but that stacy was up for
it
kinky how calvin told stacey that the
guy was into some mild rough stuff but
nothing bad

council knows okay come in here they
don't give me the tax breaks
move the whole operation of guadalajara
i'm sorry mr rothman
but he just wouldn't listen you have an
appointment it's a police matter

middle of something very important here
more important than your son so how's he
screwed up this time
he may be in trouble and if he is so are
you
i'll call you back later
all right sergeant the clock is ticking
what kind of car do you drive
oh what's that got to do with anything
anyway vanity plate blue blood on a
countach mean anything to you
maybe the car's registered to your
company now what's so important about
this damn car anyway
the person driving this car may be tied
to a murder
hey look this company provides cars to
hundreds of its employees it could
belong to anybody
don't try to snow me rothman if i have
to i'll get a warrant
my son put you up to this didn't he or
is he no longer on this case

who drives the car is the same person
who left your daughter the way she is

are you trying to protect
forgotten damn it man why don't you stop
thinking about yourself for once and
start thinking about your children
i built this for my children just for my
children all of it
how do they repay me becoming a cop
i gave them the best of everything money
could buy did you ever think to give
them the best that money can't buy
i don't need any street cop telling me
how to love my children look i'm not
here to question your love i'm here
because i give a damn about your son
i don't understand when eric heard that
the countach was tied to chrissy's case
he left
he took off i'm trying to save his
career and his life
and if you really give a damn about your
son then tell me what i want to
i know believe you'd actually do that to
chrissy

down at our docks talking to some of the
longshoremen sergeant
if you're going down there to see
hillary take plenty of backup those men
don't like cops

it may be troubled and may not i just
need you to shadow me that's all
look why don't you get pine tell him and
he'll bring an army of cops and they'll
back you up

what rothman's up to then rothman could
lose his badge
so what b i mean uh you think the guy's
gonna make a good cup anyway
