00:00What do we got?
00:20Female DOA in the trunk of an abandoned car.
00:23Mid-20s.
00:24Who called it in?
00:26This guy, William Keogh.
00:28We're gonna need to talk to him.
00:30All right.
00:34Hey.
00:40No tracks, decently healthy.
00:42Got ligature marks over here.
00:45What the hell is that on her chest there?
00:48That looks like a candle wax.
00:50She's got burns all over her body.
00:52Uh, detectives?
00:54Can I stop here? I don't want to see it again.
00:57Yeah, that's fine.
00:59Emmy's been notified?
01:00On his way.
01:02Detective Simone, let's take the supports.
01:05Bill Keogh.
01:06I live here.
01:07I own the lot.
01:08You find the body?
01:09Uh, the moose found it.
01:11I, uh, just opened the trunk.
01:13That's your dog, the moose?
01:15Mm-hmm.
01:16How long has the car been on the lot?
01:18Uh, no more than a couple of days.
01:20I'm gonna take it in today.
01:21I take him in every Tuesday to get crushed.
01:23You ever take a look inside that trunk there?
01:25I took the spare out of there yesterday.
01:27There was nothing in that trunk then.
01:28So, did you see anyone strange around here since the time you opened the trunk?
01:31Yes, I did.
01:32The moose got his paws on a scummer last night that I think is involved.
01:37What happened, Mr. Keogh?
01:39Four o'clock this morning, uh, the moose is in a brawl.
01:43And I figure, uh, he's, uh, kicking another dog's ass.
01:47And, uh, then I hear him crying, you know, yelling for me.
01:50So, I run out, and I see him lying on the ground, and some son of a bitch is peeling off the lot,
01:57his tires spitting mud all over him.
02:00The person in that car that peeled off could have definitely put the body in this car's trunk.
02:08And that's what the moose was agitating over.
02:11Any kind of look at the car?
02:13Uh, white Ford Taurus, and I got a license number.
02:17I think the son of a bitch must have kicked him.
02:19The vet says he has definite sore ribs.
02:22Did you get a look at the driver?
02:24No, it was pretty dark.
02:26The moose got a better look.
02:28Well, since the moose took a beating, we'll hold off on his interview for later.
02:33I'll get that plate number.
02:35Why don't you do that, sir?
02:40There's man's best friend, and there's man spending too much time with man's best friend.
02:58I'm – that's pretty much more.
02:59I'm sorry —
03:00I'm sorry, Charlie.
03:01I'm sorry.
03:02I'm sorry.
03:03It was right.
03:04But you are not forcing me to do that,
03:05but you will find the most accurate part of the game.
03:07I can't see you.
03:08I can't see you.
03:09It's quite interesting.
03:10All right.
03:11You might be afraid, you might see me,
03:12but you might be careful.
03:13I don't know what your name is.
03:14It's pretty much stronger.
03:15And I can see you.
03:17I'm sorry, I know what your name is.
03:18It's pretty much stronger.
03:19He's seen nothing there.
03:21It's not easy.
03:23I don't know what your name is.
04:25I think Gina will get a kick out of these.
04:27I was looking for the ones with Garfield.
04:29To tell you the truth, Greg,
04:31I think she was kind of hoping when her coming back to work
04:33to keep her kind of low profile.
04:36Ah.
04:38I mean, maybe she'd enjoy these.
04:41You know, you pointed out,
04:42I'm sure low-key would be a preference.
04:45Let's, uh, yeah.
04:46I'll pop these for some.
04:52Hi, guys.
04:53Hey, Jim.
04:54Good to see you there, huh?
04:56Yeah, my, uh, my further thoughts, uh,
04:59I think they're a little much.
05:01Good morning.
05:06Hey, morning, boss.
05:07Morning, boss.
05:09Um, they just took this downstairs,
05:11steelway in a vacant lot,
05:12standing on the foreside.
05:15James, uh, let me see if I can find
05:16some rubber boots for us.
05:18Uh, we're gonna be walking through everything
05:20up the bubonic plague.
05:21Good morning.
05:29Hi, Bobby.
05:30Hi, Andy.
05:31Hey.
05:32What, Gina's back today?
05:34Mm.
05:35For what it's worth, uh,
05:36this car's pretty noticeable.
05:38Joe, is that a six or four?
05:41I have no idea.
05:43Good morning.
05:44Hey, Gina.
05:45Hey.
05:45Welcome back, Gina.
05:47Thanks very much.
05:48Glad you're back.
05:49Half my messages I've been getting
05:51and look like hieroglyphics.
05:53Hope everything's gonna work out.
05:55Hey, we all missed you here, Gina.
05:57Everything's gonna work out just fine.
06:08See, that's another hurdle.
06:12At least nobody do it for cover.
06:14Ah, don't be silly.
06:16Look at all the presents
06:17holding on people's feelings.
06:19Greg even had some, uh,
06:21balloons made up for you.
06:22Really?
06:22I told him he didn't want to make
06:23a big deal out of it.
06:30Welcome back, Gina.
06:34We're assuming the DOA is
06:35Antoinette Todd's point two.
06:37Her boyfriend reported
06:39a missing three days ago
06:40at the same time
06:41he reported his car stolen.
06:42His boyfriend's car
06:44is what the junkyard owner
06:45sees last night
06:46before he finds the girl's body
06:48in another car that's abandoned.
06:50You verified the plate?
06:51Mm-hmm.
06:52We figure the DOA
06:53got taken from the boyfriend's car
06:55in the junkyard
06:56and then put into another car
06:58in the trunk.
06:59What's the boyfriend's background?
07:00BCI shows him clean.
07:02We got him coming in.
07:03Any report from that, me?
07:04Strangled, raped, sodomized
07:07and suffered multiple burns.
07:10Gotta like the boyfriend
07:10for openers.
07:11Ah, look at this mud.
07:35I can't believe I lost my boots.
07:38What do we got, Donnie?
07:39DOA is Sig Johnson.
07:40Lived in a downstairs apartment.
07:43The wife found him
07:44on her way to work.
07:45That's her on the left.
07:55Wasn't robbed.
07:56Look at this, Greg.
07:58His head's all flat
07:59and like he got hit with a wall.
08:04Who's that with the wife?
08:05Neighbor.
08:06Neighbor.
08:06Mr. Johnson, I'm Detective Martinez.
08:15This is Detective Meadowboy.
08:17We're very sorry for your loss, ma'am.
08:19I'm Carol Wondo.
08:21I live on four.
08:23If you feel up to it,
08:24we'd like to ask you a few questions.
08:27I will.
08:28If Carol can stay,
08:29she's being a real friend.
08:30When did you see your husband last?
08:34Um, he went out about nine
08:37to the Emperor's Lounge.
08:39He did go there for drinking,
08:41but last night he was going about business
08:45and he was really upset.
08:47Do you know who he had business with?
08:48Stimpy Powell.
08:50Well, he's a terrible little man.
08:52He lives at the bars.
08:54He sold us an air conditioner discount
08:57and I think he found it in the trash,
09:01wrapped it up new.
09:03I think Sig bought it when he'd been drinking.
09:06He was trying to get our money back.
09:09Do you have an address on this, uh,
09:11Stimpy Powell?
09:12Yeah, I wrote it on the fridge.
09:17I'll just be one minute.
09:20Okay.
09:23Actually, Mrs. Bono,
09:25did you hear any kind of argument
09:28in the lot last night?
09:32There's always arguing all over the building.
09:36I mean, every apartment erupts
09:37one time or another.
09:39That applies to your apartment also?
09:41Oh, no, there's, uh,
09:43there's no fighting in our apartment.
09:45But the others.
09:48Maybe it was the weather.
09:51I'm gonna go help Hilda.
09:54All right.
09:59Well, it was raining buses last night.
10:02Heat makes people fight,
10:03not cold and rain.
10:05You know, they say that's, uh,
10:06why, uh, the northern dwelling nations
10:08get so much accomplished.
10:11I'm looking for Detective Salone.
10:30Absolutely.
10:30Tim Dolan.
10:32My, uh, girlfriend's missing.
10:33My car was stolen.
10:37Come on, Tim.
10:39Do you know anything about Antoinette?
10:41Have you found my car?
10:42We can talk in there.
10:43Do you have a seat?
10:50Do you have a seat?
10:51I don't know.
10:51I don't know here.
10:57We need to ask you
10:58where you were last night, Tim.
11:01In my apartment.
11:03All night?
11:04Yeah.
11:05Now, I'm scared out of my mind here.
11:09Did you find something about Antoinette?
11:13Tim, a girl's been found dead
11:15who matches Antoinette's description.
11:19Oh, my God.
11:22Yeah, this girl was strangled.
11:24The girl was left in a junkyard
11:26by somebody driving your car.
11:28My car was stolen.
11:30I reported that.
11:31Let's, uh, just make sure
11:33this is Antoinette.
11:34Oh, no.
11:58Oh, no.
12:02You want something to drink?
12:04When was the last time
12:11you saw Antoinette?
12:13Uh,
12:14Saturday morning.
12:17She took my car to work.
12:19Look,
12:20I put all this
12:21in my missing persons report.
12:24Did you hear from her
12:25at all after that?
12:26Uh, yeah.
12:27She called from the bar.
12:28She, uh,
12:29she said she'd be
12:31home on time.
12:32She wasn't closing.
12:34Did Antoinette say anything
12:35to you recently
12:36about, uh,
12:37people that may have been
12:38bothering her at the bar?
12:40Anyone she might have
12:41had an argument with?
12:43Uh,
12:44she told me there was a guy
12:47that was bothering her a little.
12:49She said it was creepy,
12:50but she didn't think
12:52he meant any harm.
12:54Anything at all
12:55about what he looked like?
12:56she said he was, um,
12:58scraggly
12:59and had, uh,
13:02Coke bottle glasses
13:03like an
13:03R. Crumb cartoon guy.
13:09Oh, my God.
13:10I just,
13:10I can't believe she's dead.
13:13Did you kill her, Tim?
13:15What?
13:16What?
13:17No.
13:39How about
13:40taking it easy, huh?
13:42I recently got
13:43my guts kicked in.
13:44How's this occupation,
13:46huh, Stippy?
13:47Selling bogus goods?
13:48What does that mean?
13:49When do I get a clue
13:50what I'm doing here?
13:52James, uh,
13:53run this for the boss.
13:54I'm gonna stow Stippy.
13:56This guy's name
13:56is Stippy, pal.
13:58DOA's wife says
13:59he's a skilled con man
14:00scammed the DOA
14:01on an air conditioner.
14:02We're gonna talk to him,
14:03see if one thing
14:04led to another.
14:05Yes, you come up
14:06with the murder weapon?
14:07Nah, they're still
14:07looking for that.
14:08How's, uh,
14:10Gina seem to be
14:11acclimating?
14:12She seems to be
14:13doing all right.
14:14All right, thanks.
14:18Boyfriend's story
14:19check out?
14:20Yeah, the guy
14:21who owned that gin mill
14:22said that he remembered
14:23a guy like
14:23a boyfriend described
14:25that was hanging
14:25around the DOA
14:26when she tended bar.
14:27Couldn't put a name
14:28on the guy
14:28I was in last night,
14:30but he definitely
14:31remembered
14:31the pop bottle glasses.
14:33All right,
14:34you got a conversation
14:35in the coffee room.
14:36What, the boyfriend again?
14:38Nah, we'd put him
14:39upstairs.
14:40Crackhead kids in there.
14:43Uniform colored
14:43and using your DOA's
14:45credit card
14:45to buy a video camera.
14:47Jeremy Monk.
14:49Kirkendall ran him
14:50through BC.
14:52Two for possession,
14:54one for public looness.
14:59Detective,
15:00that Henry person
15:01from your apartment
15:02building in Brooklyn
15:02called and says
15:03he's on his way
15:04over here.
15:05Say what about?
15:06I asked,
15:07but he's always
15:07so excitable.
15:08Okay, Jenna,
15:09thanks.
15:10Probably wants you
15:11to refinance the building
15:12and buy him
15:13lottery tickets.
15:14I got to paint
15:15the fourth floor apartment.
15:16I got this old lady
15:17on rent control.
15:18She pays 134 a month.
15:20That building's
15:21a big winning proposition.
15:23I'd like to give it
15:23to Donald Trump.
15:27Thanks, Josh.
15:33Stand up.
15:34Whoa, blind.
15:38Look, I can explain
15:42using that credit card.
15:43I found it and...
15:45I figured you'd buy
15:45a video camera.
15:47Well, I was gonna
15:49turn around and sell it,
15:50get some money
15:51for some grub.
15:52It's been a while
15:52since my last meal.
15:54Do you know
15:56where it's when
15:56they're taught?
15:57I never heard of her.
15:59I found that credit card
16:00on the street.
16:02Lost my job recently
16:04and I got evicted.
16:06It's rough.
16:08You ever been
16:08in a Starlight Lounge?
16:10I don't believe so.
16:12So if we show
16:13this picture
16:14around that bar,
16:15nobody's gonna know you?
16:17Uh, I've never been there.
16:18You a pervert, Jeremy?
16:20Get out of here.
16:21Says you took a collar
16:22here for dickie-waving.
16:25I got drunk
16:26and pissed in a park.
16:28Look,
16:28I don't know
16:29about this girl.
16:30I found this card.
16:31You want me
16:32to tell you how?
16:33Absolutely.
16:35Well, I, uh,
16:37I sleep in this, uh,
16:38window ledge
16:39in this building
16:39on 9th.
16:41And, uh,
16:42early this morning
16:43this guy come out
16:43of the building
16:44across the street
16:45and he's holding
16:46the brown paper bag
16:47and this green flannel.
16:49He's acting like a freak,
16:51you know,
16:51looking around,
16:52sees he's being watched.
16:53So he goes down the street
16:55to this trash can,
16:56dumps the bag
16:57and the shirt
16:58and goes back
16:59to his building,
17:00still looking around.
17:02So I, uh,
17:04I,
17:05I checked the trash can
17:06and found a wallet
17:08inside the brown bag
17:09and I,
17:12I took the card.
17:14Look,
17:15I know I shouldn't
17:16have used it,
17:17but,
17:17look,
17:18I'm in this cycle
17:19right now,
17:19smoking
17:20and getting clean
17:22and then working
17:23and getting fired
17:25and getting evicted.
17:27Man,
17:28I just needed
17:28some bread.
17:30You remember
17:31what this guy
17:31looked like,
17:32the one who dumped
17:32the bag?
17:33Sure.
17:34Yeah.
17:35You're gonna point out
17:36his building
17:36and identify him.
17:37And then maybe
17:38we can arrange
17:39something about this other?
17:40If you're not lying.
17:42I wouldn't.
17:42Oh, yeah,
17:44show us that sign.
17:45Now we're reassured.
17:46Come on.
17:47We're going now?
17:48Yep.
17:49Here we go, Jeremy.
17:58Simone.
18:00Two minutes, huh?
18:02I like your optimism.
18:04All right,
18:04come on.
18:04How's it going, Henry?
18:09How's it going?
18:10Painting this woman's place
18:11could cost me my sanity.
18:13A 200 for the job.
18:14There's no renegotiating.
18:15Add a zero
18:16is still won't be enough.
18:18This woman's
18:19like a fanatic
18:20kibitzer.
18:21Plus,
18:21now you open
18:22a beachhead,
18:23she's got a to-do list
18:24the length of my arm.
18:25Yeah, well,
18:26tell her you were only
18:26hired for the paint job.
18:27Oh, yeah,
18:28then I'll just run outside
18:29and throw up
18:30into a 50-mile-hour wind.
18:32Look, Henry,
18:32I'm working here.
18:33She's got me
18:34fetching her mail,
18:36bringing her tea.
18:37It's as bad
18:38as with my mother.
18:39Lay down the law to her.
18:41You gotta do that
18:42as landlord.
18:43These are the things
18:44that Henry does
18:45and these,
18:46he's in no way
18:47obliged to do.
18:50Make a list, Henry.
18:52What you'll go for
18:53and what you won't.
18:54Okay?
18:55Well, then we need
18:56to sit down with her
18:58and we need to settle it.
18:59I'll try to get over
19:00there tonight.
19:01What happened to
19:02that phone girl?
19:03Looks like someone
19:04took a chisel to her face.
19:10Attempted,
19:10raped the guy,
19:11cut her.
19:13Don't be stupid
19:14walking out.
19:15Thanks for the yellow flag.
19:16I'd intended
19:17to point and laugh.
19:28Henry, you ready?
19:29Yeah.
19:30Come on.
19:32This guy's impressed
19:33they got a fish
19:34named after him.
19:35Yeah, huh?
19:36Yeah, he's a monk fish.
19:38Monk's my last name.
19:40Small world.
19:42Here you go.
19:50Stimpy.
19:51Fave us for the details
19:53of disagreement you had
19:54with Sig Johnson
19:55over the air conditioning
19:56and you sold him.
19:57That unit was not faulty
20:00in my possession.
20:02Hey, I'm not accountable
20:03once it's left my control.
20:05Okay, okay.
20:06What we need to know now
20:07is what happened
20:08when you and Sig Johnson
20:09last saw each other.
20:11Sig Johnson left the bar
20:13following,
20:14kicking my ass
20:15unjustly.
20:16What'd you do after that?
20:18I dragged myself out of there.
20:20To where?
20:21I saw a friend.
20:23You need to get
20:23specific, Stimpy,
20:25so we can check your story.
20:27Why?
20:28You know,
20:28I'm the one
20:29should be putting
20:30the complaint out on Sig
20:31instead of it's
20:31the other way around.
20:33Sig Johnson's not
20:33making no complaints
20:34because he's presently dead.
20:36Oh, not me.
20:42I didn't murder anybody.
20:44Alternative.
20:45You left the bar,
20:46Sig finds you again
20:47in the street,
20:48keeps beating on you.
20:49You killed Sig
20:50defending yourself.
20:52You want to try it that way?
20:53I couldn't have done it.
20:55I left that bar by myself
20:57and then I went
20:58and I saw my girlfriend.
21:00What's your girlfriend's name?
21:03You don't want to talk to her.
21:05She's a whore.
21:06She lies.
21:07Is she your alibi,
21:08Stimpy, or not?
21:10Yeah, I guess so,
21:12for better or for worse.
21:14Whatever she says,
21:16rely on my word.
21:18I was there with her.
21:20Plus,
21:20the blood on my person
21:22is from my own body.
21:24Yeah.
21:25This sounds like
21:26it's going to be
21:26a rock-solid alibi.
21:28All right.
21:35Hey, my story's got to be
21:55building credibility, right?
21:57That bag was right
21:59where I told you to look.
22:00Shut up, Jeremy.
22:01Check the blood out on this.
22:02See?
22:03That's the green flannel shirt
22:05I was telling you about.
22:07Okay.
22:08Okay, there's the guy.
22:09The big nerd
22:10with the glasses.
22:13Now, this is the guy
22:14that you saw
22:15dump this shirt
22:15in the wallet.
22:16Yeah.
22:17Yeah, he got a shave
22:18and a handcuff,
22:18but believe me,
22:20those glasses,
22:21it's no doubt.
22:24All right,
22:24you stay put, Jeremy.
22:25Don't even think
22:26about moving.
22:27Did I help or what?
22:28Shut up.
22:29Yeah.
22:29How you doing?
22:39I'm with the police.
22:41What do you want?
22:42We got some questions
22:43that we need to ask.
22:44You know,
22:44we'd like to take you
22:45down to the station house.
22:46My name's Mel Lentz.
22:48You sure you got
22:49the right person?
22:49Well, we know
22:50we need to ask

22:52and we don't want
22:54to do it out in the street,

23:21the bracelets.
23:21Thanks.
23:41Me and Mel
23:41were just talking
23:42by his hand.
23:43Yeah?
23:44How'd that happen?
23:45I tripped,
23:46fell on some glass.
23:49Looks like a dog bite.
23:51So what is it
23:55I'm doing here?
23:56We're investigating
23:57a homicide, Mel.
23:58We think you might
23:58be able to help us.
24:00I don't know
24:00about any homicide.
24:02What do you make
24:03of this stuff?
24:09Nothing.
24:10You were seen
24:11throwing that stuff
24:11in a trash can
24:12at 8 o'clock
24:13this morning.
24:14No.
24:15You ever seen
24:16this good before?
24:19No.
24:19Ever been to
24:21the Starlight Lounge?
24:23I couldn't swear
24:24I wasn't there
24:25because I've been
24:27a lot of places.
24:28I don't remember
24:28all my names.
24:29What about the
24:29Keyhole Junkyard
24:31off of Delancey
24:32and stuff?
24:33No.
24:34You weren't there
24:35earlier this morning.
24:36I got no business
24:37at a junkyard.
24:38Where were you
24:39this morning?
24:40Home.
24:41Who's gonna
24:42back that?
24:44You gotta take
24:44my word.
24:45I live alone.
24:47Well,
24:47you know,
24:47we got a witness
24:48who puts you
24:49at the Keyhole Junkyard
24:50at about 4 this morning.
24:51We got another person
24:53who puts you
24:54dumping these possessions
24:55that belong to
24:56Antoinette Todd
24:57in the trash
24:58outside of your apartment
25:00at about 8.
25:00We got yet another person
25:02who's gonna testify
25:03that you were a customer
25:04at the Starlight Lounge
25:06where you were known
25:07to harass
25:08Antoinette Todd.
25:10That's the girl's name.
25:12The one that's dead.
25:13Are you trying
25:14to toy with us?
25:16I'm just asking
25:17a question.
25:18Longer you play
25:19stupid here, Mel,
25:20the less likely
25:20you're gonna get
25:21out of this alive.
25:23For doing what?
25:25Yeah, that's the way
25:26to go, Mel.
25:27Juries love that.
25:29No remorse
25:30and insult
25:30their intelligence.
25:31That always brings
25:32on lean-ins.
25:33This guy's got
25:34the world by the balls,
25:36Andy.
25:40What was that
25:41smart-ass noise
25:42you just made there, Mel?
25:44Nothing.
25:49Go ahead,
25:50you make that noise again.
25:51I will break your nose
25:52and then you'll be
25:53making that noise
25:54every time you breathe.
25:58Get up.
25:59it's like you want to drink
26:12on your side.
26:13You missed it.
26:13I do occasional
26:41I do occasional 900 work on the telephone, which is defended by the First Amendment, all right?
26:46Nobody's hooking you up for cross, Millie. We're working a homicide investigation.
26:52I didn't kill nobody.
26:54Tell us who you saw last night.
26:56Not a soul. You were alone all night?
27:01Stimpy Powell killed somebody?
27:03What do you know about it?
27:04Well, if he's using me for an alibi, besides a crook, he's a dumb son of a bitch,
27:09and so I say no, he did not come over last night.
27:12What are you two in a beef about?
27:14Nothing, if you don't mind him being a thief.
27:16If he stole from you, Millie, then file charges on Stimpy and we'll collar him.
27:20Him being at your place last night, that's separate, and we need to know if he was.
27:25Tell it straight, Millie, or you're a collar for impeding a homicide investigation.
27:29The little rat came over. It was, uh, beat up, soaked through.
27:36What time?
27:37A little after nine.
27:38Was it like 9.05 or as late as 10?
27:41It was not past 9.15. I would be more exact, but I couldn't get to a clog before he split with half of my compact discs.
27:50Did Stimpy seem nervous, agitated?
27:53He was Stimpy, so yeah, both those things.
27:56All right, that's all I know, all right?
27:59If anything I said helps him, then I would like to press separate charges for the CDs.
28:05Greg, James.
28:07Sit still a minute, will you?
28:09Come on.
28:12He'll be what's left after nuclear war.
28:15That hookah had that Stimpy pal with her last night, uh, but he still could have had time to do the murder.
28:27You need to re-canvass.
28:28ESU found a typewriter near where the body was.
28:32The bottom of the typewriter was near caved in, and there was blood where the rain didn't get to.
28:37They're bringing the typewriter up to the squad.
28:40Okay, we'll get right over there.
28:41Okay.
28:45Typewriter for a murder weapon.
28:48That's fresh.
28:49Millie, one of the late tall detectives is gonna take your report.
28:53Then we can put Stimpy in the system for boosting your CDs off you.
28:57Nah, I don't call the little creep.
29:00No, huh?
29:01No.
29:02Somebody in a cell deserves the free food.
29:07Hey, Millie.
29:08What?
29:09Does, uh, does Stimpy have a typewriter that you know about?
29:13Yeah.
29:14Yeah, he writes back and forth with all the presidents.
29:17Yeah.
29:18He's got a fax machine, too.
29:20What's his name?
29:21Clinton faxes him for advice.
29:24Daily.
29:25Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
29:28Let's go.
29:29Well, we got one witness that puts the guy where the DOA was standing bar.
29:33Another witness saw him dump the girl's effects on the street.
29:37This is a homeless crackhead.
29:38Mm-hmm.
29:39Look, this guy had a bite on his hand that I would put money on came from the dog that was
29:44guarding the junkyard where the DOA was dumped.
29:46The grand jury won't indict.
29:48He harasses this girl at her place of work for two weeks.
29:53This guy Lentz coincidentally ends up with this girl's wallet, but the grand jury still won't indict.
29:59It's all this evidentiary nonsense about directly connecting him to the crime.
30:03You got enough for a warrant on this place?
30:07I could dress it up enough to get you a warrant.
30:09How come with you, Coen, it comes out like the principal doing us a favor?
30:14Cause the school's the Constitution, Sipwitz.
30:16And you're the class dunce.
30:18Hey, Greg.
30:33A man downstairs says he saw that neighbor woman, Mrs. Bono, who was nice to the DOA's wife.
30:39He says he saw Mrs. Bono out on the stoop at 4 o'clock this morning.
30:43We ought to ask her about that.
30:45Yeah, well, she's not inside.
30:47The note says,
30:49Frank, I'm with Hilda.
30:52This is her apartment.
30:56What's going on?
30:58Are you Frank Bono?
31:00Yeah.
31:01I'm Detective Martinez's Detective Meadowboy.
31:04Something happened to my wife?
31:06Your wife's fine.
31:07She's downstairs.
31:09I'd like to ask you some questions if you've got a minute.
31:12Okay.
31:15I'd like to get down with my wife and Mrs. Johnson.
31:19I'd be in a restaurant then.
31:21Absolutely.
31:22What time did you leave the building this morning?
31:25Uh, 5.30.
31:27Did you see anything unusual?
31:29No.
31:30You and your wife home all night last night?
31:33Either of you go out at all?
31:35We're home since 7.
31:37And you were here right through till the morning?
31:40Yeah.
31:42Is there any possibility that your wife went out early this morning while you were still sleeping?
31:48I sleep bad.
31:50I'd hurt.
31:51One of your neighbors said he saw your wife outside on the stoop at 4 o'clock when he went to work.
31:56Who said that?
31:58He figured she'd been out walking since she was knocking the mud off her shoes.
32:02I-I-I don't know what to say about this.
32:05Frank, would you mind coming down to the station house with us?
32:09Uh, we can clear up these discrepancies?
32:12I-I want to talk to my wife.
32:15My partner will ride with you down to the station house.
32:17I'll bring your wife myself.
32:19Okay?
32:20That sound like a plan?
32:22Yeah.
32:23Yeah, sure.
32:24Okay.
32:37It's mostly quiet.
32:38Sometimes you get noises late.
32:40What type of noises?
32:42Sex noises.
32:44Involved in sex.
32:45You ever get a look at any of the women he brings over here?
32:48Never one.
32:49But this unit's got a backyard entrance.
32:52I guess that's where he brings him in.
33:07Oh, that's to the backyard.
33:10We'll check it out.
33:12Well, I'll just stand over here to decide until we finish.
33:16Get a crime scene in there.
33:18Have him process the bed.
33:19See what they come up with.
33:21As neat as this guy is, though, uh...
33:25Figured he'd wash the sheets.
33:27Did he get her here?
33:36Andy.
33:37Oh, here's Nate.
33:38Titles alphabetically.
33:39Yeah.
33:40There's his reading material.
33:41Oh.
33:42Special section.
33:44Lucky top three.
33:45Oh.
33:46Oh.
33:47Oh.
33:48Oh.
33:49Oh.
33:50Oh.
33:51Oh.
33:52Oh.
33:53Oh.
33:54Oh.
33:55Oh.
33:56Oh.
33:57Oh.
33:58Oh.
33:59Oh.
34:00Oh.
34:01Oh.
34:02Oh.
34:03Oh.
34:04Oh.
34:05Oh.
34:06Oh.
34:07Oh.
34:08Bobby.
34:09Andy.
34:10We came up with some kind of black bag on the trash cans, other side of the fence.
34:14Looks like a body bag.
34:16Do you always a blonde?
34:18Because there's blonde hairs in the bag.
34:20Yeah, she's blonde.
34:21Why don't you get a crime scene in here?
34:23Yeah.
34:24Oh.
34:25Oh.
34:27Oh.
34:29Oh.
34:30Oh.
34:31This is this guy's act?
34:32Mm.
34:33It's like some kind of student and female buttocks.
34:37Detective Kirkendall, 15th Squad.
34:40We need crime scene to respond to 848 9th Street.
34:44Yeah.
34:56The place was wiped clean.
34:57The body bag that they found on the trash cans,
35:00that was a casket cover.
35:02So we got the lab working on some blonde hairs
35:04that were caught in the zipper.
35:05It's gonna take a couple of weeks for DNA.
35:07Suppose the hair's come out the DOAs.
35:10Body bag's not on this premises.
35:12Any way to put it with Lance?
35:16Okay, what about the porno tapes?
35:18Well, this guy Lance, he had some...
35:21shrine for his top three stars.
35:24One of them, I guess he could make the case resemble the DOA.
35:27Any chance it is a DOA?
35:29It's like a resemblance.
35:31You never mistake them for each other.
35:34Maybe he saw her as a close-knit second.
35:37No.
35:50Have a seat.
35:52Thanks.
35:53Sure.
35:53You know, I'm very worried about my husband.
36:01I think you got basis for worry, Mrs. Bono.
36:04Someone in your family, I think, is in a difficult position.
36:08And please believe me, we want to get this resolved
36:10without hurting people more than we have to.
36:13Being honest with me?
36:18You think I should have an attorney present?
36:21That depends on what you feel needs concealing, Carol.
36:25I don't want to conceal anything
36:27or cause more hurt.
36:29I just don't know what to do.
36:34Yeah.
36:35What can you tell me about this typewriter?
36:56Oh, God, forgive us.
37:02God, forgive us.
37:06You want God's forgiveness for you and who else?
37:09I can't say.
37:17I can't.
37:22When will my wife arrive?
37:24I'm not exactly sure about that, Frank.
37:31I'm reluctant to have a conversation until I see her.
37:35I can understand that.
37:39Thanks.
37:40You know what my wife is?
37:48Frank, this typewriter smashed in Sig Johnson's head.
37:52My partner and I got a big concern
37:53about your wife being outside in the middle of the night,
37:56the area where this typewriter was found.
37:59She's outside without explanation, 4 a.m.,
38:02seen by a witness cleaning mud from her shoes.
38:05What we're going to pursue is that mud
38:08from the lot where your neighbor's body was found.
38:13She didn't do anything, so will you leave her alone?
38:15We can't do that until we get an explanation.
38:18Frank, the reason we're looking at you for help is, uh,
38:21how would your wife have the strength to kill Sig?
38:24You know, how he died.
38:25And yet, she was outside and somehow involved.
38:32Promise me she won't go to jail if I tell you what happened.
38:35Tell us the truth and we'll see what we can do to help.
38:38She just moved the typewriter, that's it.
38:44Your wife took the typewriter from the lot around 4 this morning.
38:48And threw it in the dumpster.
38:50That's your whole involvement.
38:52Frank, why'd she move the typewriter?
39:00I'm who threw it.
39:01I killed Sig, oh my God.
39:10Why'd you do it, Frank?
39:12She types.
39:13She types to help expenses, but only if it don't cut in.
39:17You know?
39:18Briefs for a law firm, but if it don't cut in...
39:21Come home last night, 9.30.
39:24No dinner.
39:26There's no dinner all week.
39:28Just tick, tick, tick from a typing.
39:32Don't even know I come home.
39:35I lost my temper.
39:36I lost control.
39:38I wanted dinner.
39:40And look up at least when I come in.
39:43Say three wives typewriter out the window?
39:45Well, we don't got a window.
39:49I...
39:49I went and threw it over the roof.
39:57A dog I never even knew I had seen.
40:02She didn't know he was hurt until she snuck out to bring it back in, hoping it wasn't busted too bad.
40:08She finally called and told me this afternoon.
40:13She's been with Hilda all day.
40:16Conscience tearing her up.
40:21I'm such an asshole.
40:22I'm such an asshole.
40:38We're gonna tell you how things are, Mel.
40:43Then you'll decide the future direction.
40:46I didn't do anything.
40:47First, we put a moratorium on the I didn't do nothing.
40:51Cause that pisses my partner off and all of us know it's crap.
40:55That casket casing that you put Antoinette's body in, Mel?
40:59Some of her hair got caught when you zippered her up in that.
41:03I don't know what you're talking about.
41:04Well, now that's first cousin to I didn't do nothing, and it's gonna get you struck.
41:09There was nothing incriminating on my property.
41:12You wanna bet your life that a jury's gonna care if it was on your property or in the alley just off of it?
41:18I never hurt anybody in my life.
41:20I never even got a speeding ticket.
41:21Why am I gonna kill it?
41:23Yeah, that's what we were wondering, Mel.
41:25What hatched your sick self from the eggshell?
41:29Till we went to your apartment and saw all those ladies you got living there.
41:34I don't have ladies to my place.
41:37What about, uh, Christy Darley?
41:41You don't whip your skippy thinking about what you would do to her if you saw her out on the street?
41:48Or, uh, Chantelle Marmont?
41:50You saw Chantelle and you'd follow her to work, wouldn't you?
41:55I don't know.
42:01Say you saw Candace Champagne waiting tables at a bar, Mel.
42:05That would get a chubby going, wouldn't it?
42:07I don't know any of these people.
42:10Candy Champagne, Mel.
42:12This is the porn actress that's on half your closet wall.
42:16Looks like some stuff's been washed off her picture there, Mel.
42:20What type fluid would that be?
42:24I don't know her and I'm a normal guy.
42:27That room with the shrine to the porn queens, that look real normal.
42:31There's nothing wrong with pornography.
42:33Well, they just made a whole movie about that, right?
42:35Larry Flint, he's a big hero.
42:37I happen to be normal, all right?
42:39Mm-hmm.
42:40A normal guy with a midget pecker.
42:43You want to compare?
42:46Yeah, sure, Mel.
42:47Let's whip him out here.
42:48We'll all be normal together.
42:51This guy's half a fag.
42:52Whoa, whoa, whoa, man.
42:54You're a normal guy that doesn't deal easily with women.
42:57Is that more fair?
42:58I satisfy myself.
43:00Mel's satisfying himself.
43:02That's what got washed off all these pictures.
43:06You get scared around women?
43:08I just don't.
43:09I just don't have a smooth line.
43:11Yeah, and that's frustrating, right?
43:12Words don't come when you want.
43:14I just can't, um, you know, say what I'm feeling.
43:19Mel's a totally normal man mute before human women.
43:23No, he hides at home and he flogs his dummy to pictures he don't have to talk to.
43:28I try to make myself understood.
43:30I am a normal person.
43:31So, Mel, this girl reminded you of Candy, the one you talked to in the bar.
43:36Half-blind geek.
43:37He probably thought it was the same broad.
43:39I try to make myself understood.
43:41How'd you do that, Mel, huh?
43:43You jump on the table, pull out your Johnson and make monkey sounds?
43:47Andy.
43:48I talked to her, one person to another.
43:52And when she told you to get lost, you burned her with wax and you strangled her.
43:57Oh, yeah, well, I wouldn't know anything about that.
43:59Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, one second, Mel.
44:01Don't start with the I don't know anything about them because then you're going to lose me.
44:05Okay, I tried to talk to her repeatedly and politely.
44:10Don't you understand, Bobby?
44:12Mel was just trying to make friends.
44:14I am a normal person and I told her that she resembled a friend of mine and I tried to talk to her normally.
44:21And she told you you're half-blind geek and she don't care who she looked like and why didn't you leave her alone?
44:28And then I tried to talk to her politely in the street and she maced me and she screamed at me.
44:35Oh, provoking him in that fashion, screaming and trying to protect herself, yet people can't fathom why a weak-eyed, tiny dick pervert like Mel would go committing a murder.
44:49Okay, all right.
44:50I don't want to say this the way that I want to say it and not the way that he makes it sound.
44:55It's your statement, Mel, your statement.
44:59Okay, I'm going to say this the way that I want to.
45:01Put the facts right down here in the context that you want to see.
45:05That's another great right we got here.
45:09Yeah, go ahead.
45:10Let him put it however he wants it.
45:12Ah, this country, I don't know what the hell is happening to it.
45:35So how did it go today, Gina?
45:38Good, lieutenant.
45:40I feel really lucky working here.
45:44Good night.
45:46I'll see you tomorrow.
45:47Yeah.
45:47Hey.
45:59What's the matter?
46:01I just guess I'm relieved that the first shift is over and everyone's being so nice.
46:06I got specific plans carrying through with that this evening.
46:12Let me chat outside.
46:14Yeah.
46:15Give me a hundred-step head start.
46:17All right?
46:17Yeah.
46:30Hey.
46:31Hey.
46:33I'll, um, I'll make a spaghetti and meatballs.
46:36I don't know how long this building thing is going to take.
46:39I mean, I got Henry, I got this old lady.
46:41Well, I'll make the meatballs and I'll put the water on love for the pasta.
46:52Counselor, go okay?
46:54Yeah, I did.
46:56Dougie's really trying hard.
46:57Boss pissed off when I took the last time?
47:02No, not at all.
47:05Your mom's shot?
47:07Oh, she still has a cold.
47:10I think that could last a few years.
47:19I'm so nervous talking about it with you, Bobby.
47:22It's okay.
47:24I'm not pretending my dad didn't do what he did,
47:27or the family problems.
47:28I just don't want it to be all we talk about.
47:32Yeah, you really ran your mouth.
47:34I think you talked about it like a total of five minutes.
47:39Well, if you had to guess about the building,
47:40what do you think, a couple hours?
47:42If it's more than a couple hours,
47:43I want you over there with a gun.
47:47I've never been so involved with my cooking.
47:50This broadening out the base of our relationship is rough.
47:57Although the counselor says I've also got these regressed infantile needs
48:04for immediate gratification,
48:07and I shouldn't feel bad about my impulses to intimacy.
48:10So it might be good for me to bang you in the shower right now.
48:23Why don't we try to stay employed,
48:26and let me see this building thing.
48:29It's one way to stay dry.
48:37Let's see you in a while.
48:38Mm-hmm.
48:38Don't let her get you defensive or take the upper hand.
48:51Don't let her get you defensive or take the upper hand.
49:07All right.
49:09And don't be misled by her size.
49:11I've dealt with it before.
49:13All right.
49:14Who is it?
49:17It's Bobby Simone.
49:24Hey, there, Mr. Murphy.
49:25What?
49:27Remember we said we were going to come over and talk to you?
49:30And I'd like to know about what?
49:31Can we come in?
49:32Concerning what subject?
49:37See this, Simone?
49:38This is her hand.
49:39This is yours.
49:41Payton is, uh, coming along pretty good here.
49:44And he's doing a good job.
49:46What walls are you looking at?
49:49Chronic and typical, that type of comment.
49:51What was that?
49:52Nothing, Edie.
49:53Saying what a pleasure you are to work for.
49:56You can see the end of every brushstroke.
49:58The surface of these walls looked like a World War I battlefield.
50:03I never said I was Michelangelo.
50:06What did he say?
50:07Henry was saying he's doing the best that he can.
50:09And I would say to my students, a poor thing it is.
50:13This woman needs a beating.
50:15Now, you and I had an agreement.
50:17I would withdraw my grievance at the rent control board only on the condition that this place would be painted.
50:24He's painting, Mrs. Murphy.
50:25Oh, he's wasting paint.
50:28Bring her tea.
50:30Bring her mail.
50:31I'm like Custer at Little Bighorn.
50:33Breaks open my mailbox rather than climb the flight for my key.
50:37Someone else did that, Edith.
50:39Malarkey.
50:40What was I after?
50:41Coupons from Payless?
50:43I got your note about the mailbox, and I'm definitely going to get to that.
50:47Meanwhile, I was the one that asked Henry to look out for the postman.
50:50Bring your mail up to you so it wouldn't just sit there in an open box.
50:54Look at those brushstrokes.
50:55They look like tire tracks.
51:02All right.
51:04You know what?
51:05I work a late tour on Thursday.
51:07I'll come around Thursday morning and I'll finish the job myself.
51:10I hope it wasn't you did the hallways.
51:15No, ma'am.
51:16I painted these hallways, Edith, when this was my mother's building.
51:21They're a decent job.
51:22So is this here.
51:23And you're an ungrateful biddy.
51:25Yeah, ma'am.
51:26You're a layabout.
51:28Come on now, Mrs. Murphy.
51:29Not up to his potential.
51:32Correct himself now or be ready for ruin.
51:35When you taught, Edith, students vote you most likely to come back in our nightmares.
51:40Hey.
51:40If you've come here to say he's quit, say so and go.
51:47I don't need a long preamble.
51:50Henry is not looking to quit, Mrs. Murphy.
51:54He wants an understanding what his responsibilities are.
51:58Aim for competence.
52:00This is hopeless.
52:01Does he want appreciations for his work and his company?
52:08I don't announce that at the tolling of each hour.
52:12He will have to look elsewhere for that.
52:17But you do appreciate what Henry's doing for you, don't you, Mrs. Murphy?
52:24He will have to look elsewhere for that, saying it every hour.
52:29I'm not looking for a Cessna spell and thank you in the sky, Edith.
52:35Just try not to break my balls.
52:38There's no gutter here.
52:40Won't be tolerated in these rooms ringing in the language of the street.
52:44Now I'll have to clean the erasers.
52:46But you are willing to have Henry finish this job, right?
52:50Because I'm paying him to do it.
52:52Well, yes!
52:54Yes!
52:59And saying once, I'm grateful both the labor and the company.
53:14What did she say?
53:23What?
53:24Nothing, Edith.
53:26I'll be happy to finish the job.
53:30All right, then.
53:31Good.
53:33Because I swore that I was painting on Thursday.
53:36Well, my arthritis isn't too bad.
53:39Would you like to stay for a pot of tea?
53:44Sure, that'd be nice.
53:46I'm going to sit.
53:57Her tea stinks.
53:58Her tea stinks.
54:07Her tea stinks.
