08:17You don't want Swain coming back.
08:20Swain is the only connection I got.
08:24Now, he gotta come back.
08:28I mean, all I gotta do is find him the money,
08:30like you said.
08:32You wanna give him money?
08:34For your lousy dope.
08:35Mama, don't you ever think about me?
08:38Look, I care about you.
08:40Look, I really care about you.
08:43It's just that, you know, it hurts inside.
08:46It's the pain that I'm feeling inside.
08:49Lynette, you gonna help your mama?
08:53Just help your mama, okay, baby?
08:57Come on.
09:01I'm sorry I'm doing this to you,
09:03but I just need some help.
09:05I just need somebody to take care of me right now,
09:07if that's okay.
09:08And Swain, you know, he can do it.
09:10I think he can really do it for me.
09:12All I gotta do is find him the money,
09:14and everything is gonna be okay, okay?
09:20Okay.
09:31Okay.
09:33Okay.
09:39Switek pulled the logs on the Morelli surveillance,
09:42but he had to take off and go to a G.A. meeting.
09:45So Castile wants us to check him out.
09:49Find another plan to spend the day on?
09:51Take me with you.
09:54Oh, I'm sorry.
09:55What'd you say?
09:58The Morelli file.
10:00It's due today.
10:02Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:03I'm gonna...
10:04I'm gonna dot the I's and cross the T's.
10:12I'm sorry.
10:15You all right, partner?
10:17Yeah, yeah, I'm all right.
10:20Just didn't get too much sleep last night.
10:28I bet I can guess why.
10:31Wish that was the reason.
10:34Hello, Valerie.
10:38How are you?
10:40How you doing, Switek?
10:42How are you?
10:43How you doing, Sammy?
10:45I'm good.
10:46You down here for business or pleasure?
10:51Maybe both.
10:54Yeah, well, it's my day to catch the bad guy,
10:59so I gotta go find one.
11:03I'll see you all later.
11:06Don't mind me.
11:07I'll be busy.
11:09We'll see ya.
11:12Same old Sonny.
11:15Yeah.
11:17Same old Sonny.
11:21Um...
11:42Thanks for helping out.
11:45I talked to Lynette from the airport.
11:47She told me what you did.
11:48Ah, come on. I didn't do anything.
11:51I can't even ID the chump that did it.
11:58And Yvonne didn't help, right?
12:00Right.
12:01You know how it is with domestic calls.
12:04No matter what you do, you're still a cop.
12:10How'd you and Yvonne hook up?
12:12Well, we grew up in Park Slope.
12:15We were very close for many years.
12:18You know her daughter?
12:21I'm her godmother.
12:24She called you?
12:27She's a good kid, Rico.
12:30I got to help them both.
12:34I mean, it hasn't been easy for Yvonne.
12:37You know, she had a baby at 18, a dropout husband,
12:40and nothing but mean streets to walk in.
12:47Definitely not a picnic, huh?
12:50You know, Val, I wish...
12:53I wish I could just get to her.
12:56You're not only a cop, but you're a man, Rico.
13:01Let me talk to her.
13:03Maybe I can find out this guy's name, okay?
13:08Okay.
13:13Valerie?
13:17Don't spend all your time working.
13:22This wouldn't be an invitation for dinner, would it?
13:30Could be.
13:33How about 8 o'clock?
13:37For old time's sake.
13:41Sounds good, Detective.
13:54I can't believe you won't let the police take care of this guy's wife.
13:58Hey, he ain't so bad.
14:01Mama, he almost killed you.
14:04He could have done worse.
14:09Hey, little Val, I'm glad you're here.
14:13You did right to call her, baby.
14:26Yvonne.
14:32You know, we've beaten this thing before.
14:36But this time, I want to get you into a program.
14:42Yeah, I've been thinking about that myself.
14:46Yeah, yeah.
14:50Hi.
14:52Look, I got to get back to the hotel and make some calls.
14:56Why don't I change and come back, and then we all go out?
14:59Well, I got something to do tonight.
15:05Maybe you just go see about that program.
15:11Okay.
15:13Well, then I'll call you tomorrow.
15:18Val.
15:21Look, I hate to do this.
15:24But...
15:26I need some cash.
15:44Why'd you have to ask me for it, Yvonne?
15:47Why? Why'd you have to ask me for it?
15:51Val, I just don't feel right in the head.
15:55I just don't feel right inside.
15:57Not just till I get on the program.
16:07Don't you only give it to Swain.
16:10Would you be quiet? It's between old friends.
16:14All right, Val.
16:17Right, old friends.
16:20Yeah, old friends.
16:26But tomorrow, old friend, I am taking you...
16:29and putting you in the program myself.
16:35Yeah, give me a hundred win in place...
16:38on the sixth and the first at Gulfstream, will you?
16:42Yeah.
16:44Yeah, I used to be the same way.
16:48Yeah, always thinking I could make it back in the night.
16:52Yep, always thinking I could make it back in the night.
16:55Some system, huh? Right.
16:58Okay, yeah, call me any time.
17:03We got a mutual support network.
17:06We call each other when we're thinking about making a bet.
17:12So the meetings are working out for you, huh?
17:15Oh, sure.
17:17I, uh...
17:19I went there with the wrong attitude, but...
17:22after hearing people coping with their problems,
17:25it turned me around.
17:28That's terrific, Stan.
17:31Keep it up.
17:33Absolutely.
17:36I need those meetings just as bad as anyone else there.
17:41And I owe it all to you and, uh, Rico.
17:44You guys got me to go.
17:50Yeah, Switek.
17:52I want to take Lynette out of this situation.
17:56Maybe you can get Yvonne into a program.
18:00I can try, but the question is whether she'll stay in it or not.
18:09In the meantime...
18:12I'm gonna have to go.
18:15In the meantime...
18:18I think we got a program to be thinking about of our own.
18:26What's that?
18:29Are you trying to kick or break an old habit?
18:36In the beginning, you make habits.
18:39In the end, habits make you.
18:44And you're the only habit I got.
18:55You still know how to make me feel good.
19:07Okay, Swain.
19:09If there's one hundred I owe,
19:11then another hundred for five of your best.
19:25Uh-uh.
19:27We don't do business no more.
19:30You waste too much of my time.
19:33But, Swain, that's money I don't owe.
19:35That's money I don't owe!
19:37A payment, a little V for my patience.
19:40No, no, no, Swain! I gotta have something!
19:43Get off me, woman!
19:45And be happy I'm calling us even!
19:48No, Swain!
19:51You can have me...
19:54any way you like.
20:00You'd have to pay me.
20:04Come on now, Swain.
20:07There is something you can deal with, though.
20:10Okay. Come on.
20:18You talking about my little girl?
20:21She's not so little.
20:23No way!
20:25There's a lot of women on her.
20:27And look at the jewels.
20:34Oh, please, Swain.
20:37Mama.
20:43Look, somebody gonna turn her out.
20:46Why not me?
20:50You said you can't mix business with pleasure.
21:08What are you doing in here?
21:10Your mama and I made a little arrangement.
21:13I'm gonna get you out of here.
21:16Your mama and I made a little arrangement about you.
21:19Oh, please! Get away from me!
21:22Swain!
21:24No!
21:26That didn't mean it!
21:28Yeah, you crazy! You crazy!
21:41We had a deal.
21:45Don't you dare try to break the deal.
21:51Now, is it a deal?
21:57Well, how do you expect us to fill out the forms
22:00if we don't have them?
22:04The Morelli report.
22:06A model of police paperwork.
22:09What the hell are you so cheery about?
22:12Hey, man.
22:14My buddy, my friend.
22:16Last night, Val and I had dinner together.
22:19I mean, just dinner.
22:21But I think we're both on the same road now.
22:25Yeah, well, go slow, buddy old pal.
22:29Hey, man.
22:32I am talking life's highway.
22:36Nice and easy all the way.
22:40You know, I made a lot of mistakes,
22:43and I did a lot of wrong,
22:45but not this time, man.
22:47Mm-mm.
22:51Yeah, I'm swine-tacking our cars.
22:54Yeah, hold on.
22:56Tubbs, line four, it's Val.
22:59Nice and easy.
23:03Hey, sweetheart, how you doing?
23:10I'll be right there.
23:40Huh?
24:11She had the money.
24:13She was gonna pay Swain off.
24:15Why'd he have to kill her?
24:19Once you told me,
24:22Yvonne had a pretty serious Jones.
24:26She could've bought from another dealer.
24:29Besides, when you're dealing with low-life like Swain,
24:32hell, he's liable to off you just for kicks.
24:36God.
24:38Oh, God, I feel so responsible for this.
24:43Valerie.
24:45Valerie, you had to give her the money.
24:49If you hadn't have given it to her,
24:52she'd have got it off the street.
24:56What'd the neighbor say?
24:59She heard some screams,
25:02and she saw Lynette running down the hallway.
25:06She must have saw what had happened
25:09and just taken off.
25:11We gotta find her.
25:13She must be scared as hell of Swain.
25:16She can't be too hard to find.
25:19I'll put out an APB,
25:21and we'll split up and do some checking.
25:27It's gonna be all right.
25:37Man. Olé.
25:45Uh, listen, I have to audition a new dance instructor here.
25:50Let me talk to you in just one second, okay?
25:53What about the Mexican peso, Mr. Ramirez?
25:56It's been very good.
25:58I'll pay you.
26:00I'll pay you.
26:02What about the Mexican peso, Mr. Ramirez?
26:05It's been very depressed lately.
26:08Well, if I was a Mexican peso,
26:11I would be as depressed as well.
26:14If you want a thrill,
26:16I would discuss a little AT&T stock options.
26:20Money, applications for everyone.
26:24What is it this time, Edzie?
26:27Esto es un tango.
26:31En nuestro financial advice.
26:34Well, don't financial planners have to have a license?
26:40This lady's a friend of mine from New York,
26:43and she's right about the license.
26:46So, am I, uh,
26:49out of business?
26:53If this is harmless and you do us a favor,
26:57maybe we can waive the license for a while.
27:01Hablas.
27:05A crack dealer named Swain.
27:09Never heard of him.
27:11He likes to beat up women.
27:13Doesn't matter.
27:15I want this one so bad...
27:19that I'm beginning to get a nosebleed.
27:23Comprendo?
27:27Si, comprendo, eh?
27:29Do what I can.
27:31I'm a crack dealer.
27:33I'm a crack dealer.
27:35I'm a crack dealer.
27:37I'm a crack dealer.
27:39I'm a crack dealer.
27:41I'm a crack dealer.
27:43Si, comprendo, eh?
27:45Do what I can.
27:47Gracias.
27:49Buenos tardes.
27:51Buenos tardes.
27:55I bet baseball, football,
27:59hoops, horses, dogs.
28:03That's right.
28:05I bet the rent money on an animal.
28:07But nothing mattered but the action.
28:10That's right.
28:12You keep on betting,
28:14even when you're losing everything,
28:16your car, your house, your...
28:18husband.
28:20Jane's right.
28:22That's exactly the way it is.
28:26But now it's been one year,
28:29365 days since I made a bet.
28:37Is there anyone else?
28:39Yeah.
28:40Hi, everybody.
28:42I just want to say that
28:45after gambling for 40 years...
28:47Yeah, it's a bug for 44.
28:49What's still open for tonight?
28:54All right, all right.
28:56Iowa minus the 11.
28:58Utah plus 4.
29:00Indiana State plus the 6.
29:02Give me a dime on each.
29:06Yeah.
29:07Yeah, I know what my figure is.
29:09Look, do you want the action or not?
29:12Okay.
29:28I deal such low blows to good people.
29:32And now I'm mad.
29:35Valerie.
29:38What's going to happen to the nanny?
29:41Oh, Valerie.
29:48Oh, I need to be held.
30:01I'm ruining our dinner, aren't I?
30:04Forget about the dinner.
30:08Come here.
30:34Let's go.
30:40I love you.
30:55I feel good.
30:58Man, two days in a row,
31:00this is starting to get depressing.
31:03Yeah, I feel like I'm 18, man.
31:06Driving my convertible on the way to a Yankee game.
31:10Don't forget what I said.
31:12Go slow.
31:13That's what you said before.
31:15It's not like I just met Val yesterday, man.
31:19Yeah, well...
31:21You know, you two just have a history
31:23of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
31:26I mean, you haven't seen her in three years, man.
31:29Don't forget, she came down here to be with her friend.
31:32Help her friend out.
31:34Yeah, and we meet again,
31:36and it's hotter than ever before.
31:38What's wrong with that, sonny?
31:40Nothing wrong with that, man.
31:42But you don't know what's going on with her.
31:45Yeah, well, I love her enough to marry her.
31:50You're kidding.
31:52I'm serious.
31:54You don't trust your feelings anymore, son.
31:58Ever since Caitlin died,
32:00everything tastes sour to you, man.
32:02Come on, that's out of line.
32:04You want to push the whole world out,
32:06and I want to live in it.
32:08I don't need you to tell me how.
32:24So we haven't found that girl yet.
32:28It's funny, you know.
32:30A girl in shock would be easy to find.
32:38You know, Valerie's got some ideas,
32:41and we're gonna check it out.
32:43Okay, well, I'll see you later then, huh?
32:47I'm on the same case.
32:59You looking fresh and fine.
33:01You know, I've been thinking about Lynette.
33:03You know, where she would go
33:05when things got rough for her at home.
33:07Anything we can use?
33:09The park, there's a park on 4th Street.
33:11Yeah, I know the park.
33:13We can cover that in about an hour.
33:15There's a park on 4th Street.
33:17Yeah, I know the park.
33:19We can cover that in about an hour.
33:35Tap it in, tap it in
33:40Through the lips
33:43She's a mixed-up, shook-up girl
33:46Got me so strung out
33:49I don't know what to do
33:52She's a mixed-up, mixed-up, shook-up girl
34:13Take a breath
34:18In the night
34:22Her over, she said
34:27She wouldn't know where it's at
34:31Break away
34:35Is in her sight
34:41Lynette, I'm gonna talk to you for a minute.
34:45No.
34:49No.
34:52He raped me. He raped me.
34:55I don't know what to do
34:58She's a mixed-up, mixed-up, shook-up girl
35:11Detective Crockett at the house.
35:14Hi. How are you?
35:17Detective, I'm Dr. Ellen Hardy.
35:20I'm here to talk to Lynette.
35:22Good. She's in the next room there.
35:25Is she awake yet?
35:27Yeah, she is, but she's too upset to talk to anyone.
35:32She's a mixed-up, mixed-up, shook-up girl
35:36But she's too upset to talk to anyone.
35:39Excessive, but this is precisely when she should talk to me.
35:43Well, I'm sorry, but, you know, I know this girl,
35:46and she's far too fragile to talk to anybody right now,
35:49possibly in a couple days.
35:51I disagree. It's important treatments start as soon as possible.
35:54Well, look, let me worry about taking care of her, all right?
35:58Then I will let you know.
36:00Meanwhile, let's let the police, you know,
36:04take care of this man who has done this to her,
36:07you know, the same man that has killed her mother.
36:10I'll respect your request, Detective,
36:12but tomorrow I talk to her.
36:20Guys, she's way too upset to talk to anybody right now.
36:24I wish you could just get this guy.
36:26We're working on it, Val.
36:28Well, can you work on it a little faster?
36:31You know, maybe you can stand the fact that he's out there
36:34enjoying life after what he's done, but I can't!
36:51It was Carolina State, 75, Iowa, 68,
36:55New Mexico, 67, Utah, 61,
37:00Georgetown, 81, and Indiana State, 70.
37:05And now turning to the NBA,
37:08the Lakers have...
37:26Hey.
37:30Hey, what are you doing?
37:38Hey, what the hell are you doing?
37:40I'm watching what you owe tonight, Stanley.
37:42This trash you dropped wouldn't cover what you lost tonight.
37:46Hey, look, he'll get his money. Stay out of my life!
37:49Stay out of my life!
37:52Hey, get back in here!
37:54Hey!
37:56Get back in here!
37:58Open the door!
38:00Let me go!
38:02That's my truck!
38:04Where you going? That's my truck!
38:07I'll kill you! Come back here, you nut!
38:10That's my truck!
38:12I'll kill you! That's my truck!
38:21I'm sorry about the way I jumped all over you and Sonny.
38:26It's no sweat.
38:28I know how you feel.
38:30I'm once way bad.
38:33Yeah, we all do.
38:38But you know, Val, you got to start thinking about something else.
38:49Rico, I don't know.
38:53I need some time.
39:00Won't you have a seat just for a second?
39:13You know, we're not kids anymore.
39:18I do understand how you feel.
39:22God knows this isn't a perfect moment.
39:28There are no perfect moments.
39:35Valerie, I'm in love with you.
39:41I want to marry you.
39:45But...
39:48Rico...
39:51Right now, I just need to be here for Lynette.
39:56Look, uh...
39:59You shouldn't try to take this whole thing on your own shoulders, you know?
40:04I mean, I could really help.
40:06Rico, I'm not trying to shut you out.
40:09Did you hear what I asked you?
40:15Yes, I heard.
40:17I heard you.
40:44I heard you.
41:03So where in the hell is this damn hustler?
41:09He's got a few minutes left.
41:13What's the matter, partner?
41:15It's Val.
41:17I can't get her to stay where she stands.
41:20This case is coming between us for some reason.
41:29Yeah.
41:32Yeah, that can happen.
41:39You got something to say?
41:42Say it, son.
41:52Okay.
41:56I think there's something funny about Val's involvement in this whole thing.
42:02Like the way she keeps Lynette away from us, from talking to us.
42:08And how she suddenly...
42:11knew exactly where in all of Miami the kid could be found.
42:18So you're saying that she's holding something on us?
42:24You ask?
42:27Yeah, that was the first mistake of Rico, man.
42:34Hey, we all on the same page here or what?
42:37I mean, is there some problem?
42:39There's no problem. What you got?
42:42Mojito. Address of a crack house run by a guy named Cordera.
42:47Swain is there from 10 to 11 every night to pick up his street stash.
42:51Drives a creepy white Caddy. You're very welcome.
42:57I know where he is.
42:59When we retire, we'll give you our pitch and funds to invest.
43:04It might be too late, man. Swain is bad. Stone evil.
43:09Watch your assets.
43:17Time to wake up, Stanley.
43:27I hear you don't want me in your life.
43:31You keep acting the way you did the other night.
43:34You're not going to have a life.
43:39You want the car? Take it. I don't care anymore.
43:42We can be reasonable.
43:44You keep the car.
43:47Instead, you do me a favor.
43:52What kind of favor?
43:54What difference does it make?
43:57You got to do it.
44:01We own you now, Stanley.
44:04You must understand that.
44:08We own you.
44:30We own you.
44:33We own you.
44:57How come you got to check every single bag, Swain?
45:01I'm going to short you a rock.
45:04Just making sure I get what I paid for.
45:08You know, you're too small-timed.
45:10That's such a big attitude, Swain.
45:13Yeah? Yeah.
45:15Then maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm moving up in the world.
45:21And the first thing I'm going to do is put you out of business.
45:26Try it, Swain.
45:32Kill me.
45:37Dead.
45:39You're not a smart man, Manuel.
45:42You never figured out lining up a looser fly?
45:46Your word, baby, that's what's happening.
45:50I'm in.
45:53And you're out.
45:56And you are out.
46:26You're out.
46:52You ready for us to bring them in?
46:57Will he know I'm here?
47:00He doesn't know anything.
47:02There have been no charges yet.
47:05He agreed to do the lineup.
47:08The rest is up to you.
47:11He can't see you, honey.
47:13And this will only take a minute, okay?
47:23Okay.
47:27All right. Bring them in.
47:45They're all yours. Just take your time.
47:56All right.
48:05Just count from left to right...
48:08until you find him.
48:12He's not there.
48:18Not yet.
48:20I don't see him.
48:22None of them's the Swain I knew.
48:27I say I don't see him. That's the truth.
48:30I don't see him.
48:32I don't see him.
48:34I don't see him.
48:36I don't see him.
48:38I don't see him.
48:40That's the truth. I don't see him.
49:11Man, I've seen witnesses blow an I.D. before.
49:15Never one that easy.
49:17She could have just gotten so hysterical that she blanked out.
49:23Yeah, and there could be two crack dealers named Swain.
49:27Sure.
49:29So why'd she let him walk when we had him, huh?
49:32Who knows?
49:34Mallory whisked her out of there so quick we didn't have a chance to ask her.
49:38Wait a minute.
49:40You think Veller had something to do with this, don't you?
49:46Gotta admit, partner, a lot of things don't add up here.
49:51Come on.
50:05The network.
50:15I'm gonna have to go running off to the park again.
50:21I'm glad you're here.
50:23Oh, you're really glad, Val?
50:25Rico, listen, I...
50:27No, you listen!
50:29Tell me if I'm wrong, Val.
50:32You handle that all the time, don't you?
50:35We couldn't find her until you let us, right?
50:37Rico, I didn't know what to do.
50:39We both needed more time.
50:41To get to Swain?
50:43No, that's not it. You don't understand.
50:45Yeah, I understand. That little performance that went on at the lineup,
50:48nobody bought that, not even you.
50:50You surprised me, too.
50:52Rico, it's all gone wrong.
50:54It's the way you played it.
50:56Where's Lynette?
50:59When we came back from Metro, you know,
51:02I tried to talk to her, but she kept on crying,
51:05and she said she was too tired to think.
51:07So she went to take a nap.
51:09I went out for a walk. When I came back, she was gone.
51:12You're telling me you don't know where she is?
51:14Rico, I swear to God I don't know where she is.
51:16I'll call Metro and get Swain's address.
51:21Rico, my gun's not here.
51:26Hello, this is Detective Tubbs.
51:29I need the address of a suspect who was booked last night.
51:32The name is Swain, Billy Swain.
51:35Yeah, I'll hold.
51:37Rico, there's something else that you don't know about.
51:39Oh, really?
51:41Something else you didn't bother to tell me about?
51:44What a surprise.
51:46Okay, thank you. I got you.
51:50Okay.
52:01So...
52:03you came over for another little taste of Swain.
52:09Hmm.
52:13And brought some party groceries with you.
52:17You got glasses?
52:19Ah.
52:22You know...
52:26the police rousted me last night.
52:31I thought it was because of you.
52:34I didn't do that.
52:37Yeah.
52:39I figured your mama wouldn't want that.
52:42Where else is she gonna score on credit...
52:45without me?
52:49Ah.
52:59Ah.
53:05Does your mama know you're here?
53:08You giving this away free, or is this another deal?
53:12Mama's dead.
53:15She O.D. to what?
53:18Somebody killed her.
53:21You crazy. I ain't killed your mama.
53:23I know you did it, Swain.
53:25Because I did.
53:27You killed your mama?
53:30After you had your fun with me,
53:33I went out to her.
53:35I was hurt bad.
53:38She was too high to care that she sold her daughter for a little crack.
53:42She got mad at me for crying.
53:44Said, I should get used to you having me.
53:47Something just went off inside my head.
53:50And all of a sudden, I saw a kitchen knife in my mama's back.
53:54Now, look, you got to be cool about this.
53:56You want a deal, Swain?
53:58Deal for what?
53:59Your life.
54:01Easy.
54:03Easy.
54:05You can't do this.
54:08You can't do this.
54:11Come with me.
54:14Come with me.
54:23You better pack up your crib, Swain.
54:26You're going to be in jail for a long time.
54:39What's happening?
54:43Well, that's with the doctor now.
54:47As soon as we make sure everything goes smooth with the juvenile authorities.
55:00What was I supposed to do?
55:04What was I supposed to do?
55:06Wrinkle Turner in for murder?
55:09You knew it wasn't murder.
55:12You knew that.
55:14I knew that they were going to take Lynette away and Swain would walk.
55:18So you decided to frame him?
55:21Tell me this.
55:23You never once, never once wanted to frame anybody.
55:27I'd be lying if I said that.
55:30But I never did.
55:33You're a cop, Val.
55:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
55:39A burnout cop, Rico, and you knew that.
55:43You could have told me the truth, Valerie.
55:46I was afraid they were going to send her to prison.
55:51It was a mistake.
55:55She would have never made it.
55:59You didn't have to fake it.
56:03There were some things that I didn't fake, Rico.
56:18It's too late for us, isn't it?
56:25Woman.
56:31I'm sorry, Rico.
56:36I'm so very sorry.
56:47Valerie.
56:55Where are you going?
56:58After the hearing. I have to drop the charges.
57:04Back to New York.
57:12Well, we'll give them this.
