Previously on "nypd blue"...
Your sister had abdominal
bleeding.
She went into labor, and we
discovered the extent‐‐
She's dead?
We did our best.
The baby...
A girl.
People gotta live
their own lives.
But if I'd been more
a part of hers...
There's no use thinking
about that.
You gotta think about
her baby now.
That social worker
call back?
All the paperwork came through.
We're good to pick her up.
You can take her home.
Oh, my god, andy.
I can't believe it.
All right, theo, let's go!
We're late!
What are you doing?
Where's your shoes?
I don't feel good.
Come here.
You don't have a temperature.
You look fine.
I don't feel good.
Can connie come over and stay
with me today?
No, she's gotta go
to work, too.
Then I'll go to work with you,
and connie can watch me there.
[ Sighs ]
Connie's got a lot
going on right now
Taking care
of her sister's baby.
We're never gonna see her?
Sure, we are.
When?
I don't know.
Soon, I hope, okay?
In the meantime, it's you and
me, buddy,
And we do pretty good,
right?
[ Sighs ]
Good morning, lieutenant.
Good morning.
Boss, you got your "going to
meet the chief of d's" suit on.
Yeah, along those lines.
I got a lunch today.
Page me
if it's an emergency.
Andrea, what happened?
I've been calling and‐‐
Oh.
Um...
As long as she sleeps,
I don't care
about the pacifier.
Okay.
Thanks.
Everything's all right?
Some people think you shouldn't
give a pacifier to a baby
So they don't get used
to it.
Didn't know that.
15Th squad.
I was thinking maybe tonight
would be a good time
To bring theo over,
meet the baby.
We could get a pizza and a movie
or just make it quick.
She's a real light sleeper,
and if anybody comes over,
She gets really fussy.
Plus, I think she might be
coming down with something.
So another time.
Oh, god, I forgot to tell
andrea to swaddle her
When she puts her down.
How is theo doing?
Never better.
Tell him I miss the heck
out of him.
Got a d. O. A. Dump job
Over on 15th street by
the east river.
Here.
Junior, let's go!
Rita's downstairs.
I'll go with her.
Andrea, it's me again.
Can you make sure you swaddle
her up tight
When you put her down
for her nap?
No,
I'm just double‐checking.
Thanks.
Bye.
If andrea calls...
I'll page you.
Thanks.
Somebody got their merit badge
in hog‐tying.
Looks like marks on
her neck.
Pross?
Not a street walker.
Boots are too nice.
Yeah, these are $300
designer boots.
A whore, though, whatever
her act was.
Lucy corbitt, f. I. T.
Fashion institute
of technology.
That thing current?
Yeah.
Fashion student.
Maybe she's a club chick.
Out partying
with the wrong guys?
That's a dead whore.
Let's go talk to this idiot
again.
He's just a big teddy bear,
isn't he?
D.o.a.'S a carla morton.
Lived here by herself.
No witnesses.
Marks on her neck, panties
pulled down.
Looks like an
apparent r*pe.
Who called it in?
Building super,
frank gordon.
Says he saw her when he went
down to check the lint screens.
Part of his daily
spot check.
All right, thanks.
Mr. Gordon?
Yeah.
Detective jones,
detective medavoy.
Is that back door the only
access to the street?
Yeah, but it's locked all
the time.
What can you tell us about
miss morton?
She's been here
less than a year,
Gets a lot of visitors,
lots of guys.
She says it's on account
of her tutoring,
But I've heard that
one before.
Anything concrete
To indicate miss morton
was up to no good?
I've been in her apartment a
couple of times fixing things.
I never saw nothing even
remotely tutor‐related.
What, like a chalkboard,
overhead projector?
You asked me to tell you
about her.
Anyone in the building have a
beef with her you know about?
No.
We're gonna need you to open
her apartment for us.
Thanks for coming in,
jill.
I can't believe it.
Yeah, we're really sorry.
So you knew lucy corbitt
from f. I. T.?
Yeah.
How long were you
roommates?
This semester.
When was the last time
you saw lucy?
Last night.
She was going out.
She say where?
Out.
She have a boyfriend?
Back home in illinois, but they
were kind of taking a break.
She party at all,
do any dr*gs?
No more than anybody else.
She mostly studied.
She was really into school.
Lucy have any money
problems?
I think she had a few credit
cards maxed out,
But not like it's hard to get
another one.
We have to dress right.
It's really important at school.
So you have no idea what
she was doing last night.
I really don't know.
How close were you two?
Pretty close.
Lucy ever say anything about
making money on the side,
Maybe being a call girl?
Are you serious?!
How do you know she was
a call girl?
When you see a pretty girl in
knee‐high boots
And a miniskirt strangled and
hog‐tied in a vacant lot,
It tends to fit
a certain profile.
You guys...really...
Suck!
Relax, jill.
So a girl wears boots
and a miniskirt
And she's automatically
a whore?!
So that's no‐‐ lucy didn't
tell you she was hooking.
No!
Never!
You guys really suck!
I guess all guys that wear
short‐sleeve shirts and ties
Are assholes!
Well, then.
[ Clears throat ]
[ Sighs ]
Hey.
Tony.
Angela.
Oh,
thank you for coming.
How are you?
I'm good.
I've been back for about
a year now.
I just got my realtor's
license.
Are you still
in narcotics?
No, not for a while now.
I'm a lieutenant,
c. O. Of a detective squad.
What do you need, angela?
Is that why you think
I called?
I didn't rule it out.
No, i‐i just wanted
to see you again.
Is that all right?
I showed up, didn't i?
Now, what do you need?
I'm sorry.
You know, i‐i thought enough
time had passed
And we could be friends
maybe.
I don't know.
I loved you, wanted to spend
my life with you.
I worked my ass off so we could
have something to build on.
I turn around and find out
you're putting it up your nose
And probably up the nose
Of the guy you were banging
behind my back.
I made a lot of mistakes
back then.
How about being a friend 10
years ago
Instead of leaving a note?
Nobody knew where you were.
I had to take a legal notice out
in the paper
In order to get a divorce.
If I was gonna live,
I had to get away from the
people I was hanging out with.
I had to get out
of new york.
Well,
you damn sure did.
I got off track,
and i‐i lost who I was.
I wish‐‐ god, you know,
I wish I could go back, tony,
and change things, but I can't.
What do you need,
angela?
'Cause hell if I'm going through
all this again.
I wanted to apologize.
That's it.
Okay, you apologized.
Look, it ended horribly,
And the last six months was hell
for both of us,
But are you gonna tell me
that the first five years
Weren't the best years
of your life?
They were to me,
And I know
you still remember.
If you don't...
I'll leave right now.
Still need a minute?
Yeah, another minute.
[ Sighs ]
Found another d. O. A. Dump job,
same vacant lot as the first.
Everyone else is headed
down there.
How the hell they miss
that this morning?
E.s.u. Found it when they were
searching the lot
Buried under a bunch
of trash.
What's going on with
your case?
D.o.a. Tutored out of her
apartment‐‐
This adult‐literacy‐type
deal.
We got a list of her clients.
We've put out calls
to all of them.
One lady who lives in the
building told us
That the super has this nephew,
jerry mosley.
He does maintenance
off the books.
She says he's a real pushy
lothario type.
So we ran him.
He's got some as*ault collars.
We sent off the r*pe kit,
Waiting on prints from the
laundry room.
May I help you?
I need to speak with a detective
jones or medavoy.
Hi, I'm detective jones.
Detective medavoy.
Reverend elizabeth murray
With the first united
church of christ.
I'm here on behalf of
rashad coleman.
You left a message for him
to contact you.
Yes, we did.
Where is rashad?
He called me from the park.
He's terribly upset.
And why would
he be upset?
He heard that his tutor
was k*lled last night.
He's afraid that's what you're
calling him about.
Is it?
Yeah, it is, so he needs to get
in here as soon as possible.
Rashad's had bad experiences
with police in the past.
When he got arrested
for that r*pe?
Yes, for which he was never
convicted,
And other times when he was
actually beaten by police.
That won't happen here.
We just want to talk to him.
So I have your word that he'll
be treated fairly.
Of course.
Fine.
The next time he calls, I'll
persuade him to come in.
Thank you.
I'd like you to know that rashad
has been an exemplary member
Of our congregation
the past two years.
I can assure you he had nothing
to do with carla's m*rder.
You're probably right,
But if you could just get him
in, that'd be great.
We'll be in touch.
Hog‐tied same way and
everything.
How the hell did we
miss this?
Emergency service found her
searching the lot
Buried under all
this crap.
Another fashion student
gone bad?
Looks like he bit her.
That might have been
where a nipple ring was.
Perp threw her stuff in
the bag‐‐
Clothes,
hand purse, cr*ck pipe.
Jacqueline miller.
I've seen her before.
Hard‐core pross.
They got dumped
at the same time.
Probably got k*lled at
the same time.
Same pimp?
Or the perp picked 'em up
separate.
How'd it go notifying
the mother?
We laid it out.
What are you gonna do?
She had her daughter's number.
We're dumping it.
Better before the sick bastard
finds himself another date.
[ Camera whirs ]
So you do maintenance work
for your uncle.
Yeah.
You got access to the whole
building?
Yeah, I do.
You know carla morton at all,
jerry?
Did some repairs in her
apartment.
We'd small talk.
She seemed nice enough.
Terrible what happened.
You and your uncle close?
Yeah, we're tight.
It seems a little odd your uncle
wouldn't mention
He had a nephew with a record
who worked in the building.
Uncle frank was
just probably trying
To save his ass a little
'Cause let's just say in
addition to maintenance,
I also service a few of the
ladies in the building.
That comes out along with that
girl getting k*lled,
He'd probably lose
his job.
When you say
"a few of the ladies,"
What kind of numbers we talking
about here, jerry?
Four...five.
And two of them are married, so
there you go.
You being the house stick man
and all,
You ever try to slip one to
carla morton?
Hey, man, I ain't stupid.
I've seen her boyfriend.
I don't want any part of that.
Boyfriend?
Yeah, some black guy's banging
her‐‐ uh, rashad.
How do you know rashad?
I don't, but that's the name
he gave into the call box,
When she'd buzz him up.
How do you know they were
boyfriend and girlfriend?
Kissing in the hall.
Look, I'm not saying that
he did it,
But I never looked twice
at carla
Knowing that she was
dating that guy.
Full account of your
whereabouts yesterday.
Looks like a two‐for‐one,
boss.
Both d. O. A.'S were tied with
the same rope, same knot.
Second one's
a known pross.
We got a cell phone off the
known pross.
Pulled the last 10 numbers.
One of them in and out comes
back to this reed jacobson.
Last call out was to
a darlene widdy.
She's a pross, got popped for
solicitation late last night.
Vice is bringing her down.
15Th squad.
Andrea, hey, it's me.
How's she doing?
Oh.
Okay.
Sorry.
Bye.
[ Receiver clicks ]
I guess the phone ringing isn't
a big sleep aid.
I want everybody concentrating
on their case.
Detective, they're bringing up
reed jacobson.
Everything all right?
Yeah, great.
Thanks for coming in,
reed.
Yeah.
You know a
jacqueline miller?
No.
There's a call from you to her
cell phone last night.
Oh, yeah, okay, her.
Um, a call girl, right?
Yeah, that's right.
I was reading some of
the sex ads
In one of those
sex‐newspaper things.
I called a few as a joke.
You didn't meet up
with her?
No, I'm a time waster.
That's what the call girls who
advertise
Refer to the men who call but
don't book dates.
[ Chuckling ]
we're time wasters.
You get a kick
out of that?
It's kind of funny.
She think it was funny, too?
Is that why she called you back?
I guess I strung her along
a little bit.
Is that illegal?
Why am I here?
You know, reed, I have yet to
meet a guy who,
The first time it was
put to him,
Didn't lie about being with a
prost*tute, but we don't care.
All we're looking for here is
some general locale
Where you might have
dropped her off
Or where she said she was going
because she's missing.
We're gonna put it to
you a second time,
And this is the
important time‐‐
The time you need to
tell the truth.
I wasn't with her.
We understand if you need to
call some piece of ass
Once in a while.
I admit I called the number.
We chatted.
She called me back
trying to sweet‐talk me into it,
But nothing happened.
What did you do
last night?
I was home playing
"everquest" online.
You can check the log on
my p. C.
Reed, if we find out you're
lying to us,
You're gonna be back here in
this room,
And it's gonna be
a lot less civil.
I heard you, detective,
And if you keep intimating I was
with a prost*tute last night,
I'm going to be
a lot less civil
By fully exercising my
civil rights.
Well, then, we're both up to
speed, aren't we?
Here you go.
Right here, darlene.
Jacqueline miller called you
last night.
What about?
Why?
'Cause we want to know.
I get my pross charge thrown out
if I tell you?
We'll see.
I need a for sure.
You help us out,
you'll get a walk.
I get the walk first.
Then we can have this
conversation on the front steps.
You and jacqueline
friends?
Yeah.
Your friend got k*lled
last night.
She's not dead.
You're lying.
Oh, my god.
What'd she call you about?
Did she say where she was going?
To meet a john, and then we were
gonna hook up afterwards.
She say where that
john was?
Second and "b" 'cause she was
gonna stop at tony's
And get us both
a slice after.
And she was so careful,
too.
She had the best creep radar
of anybody.
Take a walk, darlene.
We appreciate the help.
Second and "b"?
This reed jacobson we got,
he lives on that block.
He admit to being with her
last night?
No.
Junior's in with him now.
You guys should take the next
cr*ck at him.
Put on the charm.
He's got women issues.
No problem.
You got a sec?
What's going on?
Something's going on.
Theo's really feeling the pinch
with not seeing you.
Haven't you explained to him
what I'm dealing with?
Till I'm blue in the face, but
explaining doesn't do it.
Either you're present in his
life or you're not.
Are you laying off something on
theo that you're feeling?
I'm telling you straight what's
going on, connie.
It's not like I had nine months
to prepare for this, okay?
I need your support
right now.
Mm‐hmm, and theo needs yours.
He wants to call you "mom."
He considers you his mom,
and now you're gone.
I'm exhausted
from no sleep.
I'm scared they're gonna take
her away
'Cause I'm not a good enough
parent.
Let me help, then.
Let us into your life.
I can't believe this.
I can't believe you're dumping
this on me right now
Knowing what I am going
through.
[ Sighs ]
[ Door opens ]
I already told
the other two,
I didn't have anyone over
last night,
Let alone a whore.
Reed, guys pay for it all over
this city every night.
We're not looking to jam you up
with your girlfriend.
I don't have a girlfriend.
No?
You find that surprising?
You seem like a good catch.
Don't you think I know what
you're doing?
Send in the pretty girls to
flirt with the loser.
That's not it at all.
Oh, I think it is!
I'm not talking
to you two.
[ Door closes ]
He hasn't asked to leave yet,
hasn't asked for a lawyer.
It almost feels like he wants
to give it up.
Reed's boss said
that he had a little meltdown
On the job yesterday.
Yeah, he went off on
a female coworker.
Let's head down there.
Let's see what that's
all about.
Have a seat there, rashad.
Had a little trouble
finding you today.
Yeah,
I'm sorry about that.
Five calls in to your pastor
before you decide to show up?
I'm sorry.
And then what the reason that
she gave us
For your tardiness?
He had bad experiences
with cops?
Something like that.
I have.
That's the truth.
'Cause usually when a guy
doesn't show up,
It's 'cause he's got some guilt
weighing on him.
I didn't k*ll miss morton.
She's a friend of mine.
I cared about her.
Were you over her
apartment last night?
Y‐yesterday afternoon...
F‐from 3:00 to 4:00.
S‐she's been tutoring me.
That all she been doing?
Yeah, that's it.
No sex?
No, sir.
See, rashad, we got witnesses
that saw you and carla
Kissing in the hallway.
That's a lie!
Never happened!
Your heart's about ready to jump
out of your chest, rashad.
Police stations m‐make me
nervous.
When you were in that police
station five years ago,
You lied to them, too,
didn't you?
I'm not lying.
I'm a changed man.
I‐i've given my life over
to the lord.
And when
you finally got around
To telling detectives what was
happening,
You said that you blacked out
when you r*ped that woman.
Is that what happened
last night?
N‐no.
Quit lying, rashad!
Given your life over
to the lord,
But you won't tell
the truth
And bring peace to
carla morton's family?
Relax, rashad.
You're putting all this energy
into keeping this lie going.
Just relax,
and we'll work this out.
Detectives clark
and sipowicz.
Shannon mackenzie.
Nice to meet you.
We spoke with
your supervisor.
He mentioned there was a problem
with you and reed jacobson.
Oh, my god, this is turning into
such a nightmare.
What was the problem?
Is reed pressing charges
on me?
No, we're here on a separate
investigation.
Regarding reed?
What'd he do?
What was the problem you had
with him, shannon?
He's an assh*le.
Excuse my language,
But he's a complete assh*le who
makes my skin crawl,
And I made the mistake
of being nice to him
When I started here.
Everyone said to stay
away from him.
They call him "postal," but his
cube was right next to mine,
And he seemed normal
enough at first.
What's the investigation?
There's a complaint
against him.
Now I'm freaked out that he's
going to do something to me.
Nothing like that's gonna
happen.
What went wrong in your
friendship?
He asked me out.
I was praying he wouldn't,
but he did,
And I told him I just
wanted to be his friend.
How'd he take getting
turned down?
He started calling me
"ice queen,"
Told a coworker
I was a lesbian,
Always giving me
dirty looks.
I asked him to stop.
He didn't, so I went to my boss.
He called reed in yesterday,
and reed freaked,
Screamed at me,
stormed out.
I'm not going to have to deal
with him again, am i?
Doesn't look like it.
What did he do?
It's looking like he had an
argument with two women.
See? He doesn't know how to
interact with women.
He just doesn't get it.
Yeah.
We really like this rashad
for our homicide.
You never seen a guy act more
nervous, boss.
Well, he's not budging.
He puts himself there.
That's it.
We're not gonna be able to keep
him much longer.
His pastor's in the car waiting
to hear what's going on.
He's been asking
to see her.
Would he confess to her?
They've been in contact all day.
He never did.
You can tell he worships her,
basically.
Could we use this to our
advantage somehow?
We could probably come up
with something.
Do it.
[ Knock on door ]
Sorry.
No problem.
What's up?
I was nervous at lunch, and I
forgot to give you...
I found this in my stuff
a couple of years back,
But weren't talking,
so, um...
It was your dad's money clip,
right?
Never thought I'd see this
again.
Yeah, I should have mailed it to
you when I found it, but...
It's all right.
So, anyway, it was good seeing
you, tony.
You too.
Call me sometime if
you want.
I'll understand
if you don't.
[ Sighs ]
All right, here's the deal,
rashad‐‐
We got your prints in carla's
apartment.
You're the last person
seen with her.
If this goes to trial,
You'll get buried on physical
evidence alone.
Reverend murray knows all
about it.
She still here?
She's still here,
rashad,
Because she cares what
happens to you.
She knows you did it.
She wants you to confess.
That's what she said?!
She believes in showing
contrition.
But I didn't do it!
Our boss doesn't want you
to see the reverend,
But we'll try to get
her in here,
But if we're helping you out,
you gotta return the favor.
I need to see her.
All right, rashad.
We'll see what we can do.
How long are you allowed
to keep him here
Without pressing charges?
Reverend, this is why it's
taking so long‐‐
We don't believe rashad did
this, and in fact,
We have another suspect we like
a lot for k*lling miss morton,
But rashad's so scared,
He's not even admitting to
having met miss morton.
Now, we know he's been to
carla's apartment before.
You know he's been to her
apartment.
Well, yes,
she was his tutor.
So you see our problem.
He's lying about things he
doesn't need to lie about,
And we're wasting
valuable time here.
Do you want me to talk
to him?
Here's the thing‐‐
Our boss doesn't want you
anywhere near him.
But if we manage to get
you in there,
Do you think
you could do that‐‐
Just tell him to admit he's been
to miss morton's apartment?
Sure.
I'll talk to him.
That way, we get a statement,
and we're done with this.
[ Door opens ]
It's okay.
It's okay, rashad.
But I swear,
I didn't do it!
Just tell them the truth.
I see the boss.
Just tell them the truth,
rashad.
It's okay, rashad.
But I didn't do it.
Did you maybe black
out again?
Is that what happened?
Maybe.
I‐i don't remember if I did.
You blacked out,
and you hurt miss morton.
I don't remember.
If you don't admit to it, you
could get the death penalty.
O‐okay.
We're gonna help you out.
Okay.
When's he going to be
released?
Did he tell you he
was there?
Reverend, rashad
isn't going anywhere.
He's admitted to the r*pe and
homicide of carla morton.
No.
I'm afraid so.
He's given a statement.
I thought you had someone you
thought did it.
We'll call you when we have
an arraignment date.
He told you he
k*lled carla?
He said he blacked out.
We'll let a jury decide.
Yeah, we're sorry.
Having me go in the room, was
that some kind of tactic?
No, ma'am.
I can't believe it.
I'll walk you out,
ma'am.
One of these liberal do‐gooder
types bending over backwards.
Jill, right?
Yeah.
You got something for us?
I forgot‐‐ sometimes lucy
borrowed my laptop.
So I went in and checked out
the browser history.
I found some sites on there that
I definitely didn't visit.
What kind of sites we
talking about?
Escort services.
I bookmarked the one with her
picture on it.
This is a big help, jill.
We appreciate you coming in.
My number's in there
If you can just call me when
you're done with it.
You told me so.
Go ahead and say it if you want.
We're sorry for the loss
of your friend.
He was arrested five
years ago for r*pe,
Claimed he blacked out.
But not convicted, though.
What's he saying now?
He's saying he might have
blacked out again.
He's our guy,
But we'll keep going at him
to get the full flip.
I'm just letting you know
That he might stick with
the blackout excuse.
r*pe kit come back?
The m.e. Says there was
penetration but no semen,
d*ed from strangulation.
That was the m.e.
They got some skin
and blood
From under carla morton's
fingernail.
There's your irrefutable
evidence, counselor.
Dna's gonna take a week,
But they i. D.'D
the blood type‐‐ ab.
What's the problem,
boss?
Going through rashad coleman's
file, he's blood type a.
M.e.'S wrong.
Either that or we are.
Call me when you get it
together.
Don't tell me we nailed
the wrong guy.
"Pillow talk"‐‐
that ring a bell?
Wasn't that a
rock hudson movie
Where he played
a straight guy?
Ow!
That's an internet
escort service
Where you ordered up a girl
named lucy corbitt,
Otherwise known as the
first dead girl that we found
At that vacant lot
by the river.
She never made it to
my house.
She sure did, reed, and then you
ordered up jacqueline miller.
We've already talked about this
ad nauseam!
Somewhere along the line, you
dropped something, reed,
And we're gonna
find it‐‐
A strand of hair, a flake of
skin on the carpet.
Maybe you got a roll of plastic
bags at your apartment
Just like the bags that you
stuffed those girls into,
In which case, we will match
the perforations,
But you left something
behind, reed,
And the only way that
you can help yourself now
Is to give a statement.
Maybe the
girls provoked you‐‐
We don't know‐‐ but you
better start talking now
Or you are gonna be
walking the plank.
I don't care.
I really don't.
You might care to hear
What your coworker
shannon mackenzie
Had to say this afternoon.
She seemed very regretful
about the whole incident.
You're making that up.
Yeah, reed, I picked a first
and a last name at random
And hoped they made sense.
What'd she say?
She mishandled
the whole thing.
She wanted to apologize
to you.
Sounded like she got the
ball rolling yesterday
By going to your boss,
is that right?
You tell shannon she
can kiss my ass.
Why don't help yourself
now, reed?
Tell us what happened last
night, hmm?
Did the whores try and work
you for more money,
Try and hurry you,
what?
Jimmy buffett tickets.
Do me a favor
And just say "jimmy buffett
tickets" to shannon.
I invite her to go.
On the day of the show,
she asks for both tickets.
What, she misunderstood,
Thought I was just gonna give
her two $75 tickets?
[ Breathing heavily ]
You left something behind, reed,
and we're gonna find it.
What's up?
Medical examiner
came back
With some results on
carla morton.
Okay.
They found some blood and skin
under one of her fingernails,
Something she might have gotten
fighting off her k*ller.
Great.
What's that got to do with me?
If you had nothing to do with
her m*rder,
Then you'll have no problem
taking off your shirt,
Proving you got
no scratches on your skin.
I didn't k*ll
that woman.
Good, now take your shirt off
and prove it.
This is ridiculous.
Take your shirt off,
jerry.
Now, listen, I was working in
the bushes, and i‐‐
You know, I remember scratching
myself on a branch.
So you'd probably find
a cut or something.
Jerry, when we run
your dna
With the dna found
under carla's nails,
It's gonna be a match,
isn't it?
If it is, I don't know how it
got there.
We spent all day leaning on
the wrong guy for this m*rder,
The guy you pointed us to.
I don't know what you're
talking about‐‐
Hey! I got that working
in the yard!
[ Choking ]
I'm really angry right now,
jerry.
I'm angry at myself.
I'm angry at you.
Now, you're gonna
tell us
What went wrong with
carla last night.
You veer one inch from
the truth,
And I'm gonna take
you apart.
You understand me?
[ Panting ]
I was high, okay?
I've been clean for six
months now,
But I ran into
some old friends,
And one of them
had some rock.
I came in through the
back door,
And she was
doing laundry late.
You know,
she always ignored me
Like she was too good
for me.
So I stopped to talk to her,
right?
But she gives me this look like
she's disgusted,
Like I wasn't even human.
It started out I pushed her,
and then i‐i lost it.
We need you to go in with us
and talk to reed.
You're kidding.
After what he said to me?
Shannon, we know
this has been hard on you,
But we believe this guy
assaulted two women last night,
And we can't get him to
talk about it.
Then have them go
in there.
We can tell reed really
likes you.
Our feeling is if you
go in there,
It might get him to
open up.
I don't know.
We don't get him to admit
to the crime,
He's back on the street.
So I'm in danger unless I go
talk to him?
How about we need your help?
How about that?
Talk to him about what?
Start off and say you want to
apologize for what happened,
But you'd like to hear him
apologize first.
That's important‐‐ that you
want him to apologize first.
I'd be lying.
Obviously.
Come on.
[ Sighs ]
[ Door opens ]
Reed, we got someone who wants
to talk to you.
Hi, reed.
I wanted to apologize for
everything.
A little late.
But first, I'd like to hear
an apology from you.
For what?!
For your behavior.
You're incredible.
You used me.
You pretended to like me!
I did until you started acting
all weird.
Was it weird when I picked up
lunch for you all those times?
Chicken caesar salad,
dressing on the side.
Ring a bell, shannon?!
The cd I b*rned for you,
all your favorite songs?!
I never asked you to do
any of that.
Dumping all your boyfriend
problems on me?
"He came over again last night,
but just wanted to have sex."
How do you think I felt
listening to that?!
I want to leave now.
I thought you were
different,
But, no,
you're just like all the rest.
You want a guy
to treat you like dirt, right?
Well, you are dirt!
You're dirt I scrape off
my shoe!
You are such a loser,
reed.
You are such a loser.
Aah!
You run away, shannon!
Run away to your
empty little life!
Is that what those whores
were last night‐‐ dirt?!
What did you do, reed?
What did you do?!
I caught the black‐haired one
going through my pockets!
I wasn't up for
it anymore!
Why'd you k*ll
the blonde?
She tried to run!
They can all go to hell!
Sit down.
[ Panting ]
[ Sighs ]
How could you put me in there
with him?!
I'm sorry,
but it worked out.
I could sue you guys.
You helped put him
behind bars.
What did he do?!
He k*lled two women
last night.
No way.
Yeah.
We didn't tell you earlier
because we weren't sure.
He didn't k*ll them because of
what I did yesterday.
Not at all.
I couldn't live
with myself‐‐
You know this guy.
He was a time b*mb.
Come on.
Come on, I'll get you home.
With you having your previous
arrest for r*pe‐‐
You know, we only have so much
information to go off of
And make decisions from.
Me telling you I didn't
do it‐‐
That didn't make
no difference?
We hear that from guys
who did it all the time.
So then you decide on your
own who did what.
Again, we were going off
certain information.
We regret what happened.
Only thing I regret is not
having faith.
Lord wasn't gonna let me go
down that road again.
I'll give thanks and
praise to him.
You okay?
Yes, ma'am.
I'm ready to go home.
Wait for me in the hallway
one second, okay?
You gave me your word you'd
treat him fairly.
We made a mistake.
We spotted that mistake and
rectified it.
You gave me your word.
[ Business card slapping ]
Mmm, and lupe's is gone?
Yeah, closed about
three years ago.
We had our first valentine's
at lupe's.
Yep.
[ Sighs ]
Do you not want to talk about
that stuff?
You can if you want.
Well, I remember we were sitting
across from each other,
And you put your napkin down,
got up,
Walked around, and leaned over
and kissed me.
And you walked back and
sat down.
Do you remember that?
Yeah.
I can't believe you don't
remember that.
I remember everything else about
that night.
[ Chuckles ]
So, you still living
in brooklyn?
Yeah.
You should move down here.
Closer to work.
Nah.
You know, I have a listing over
in the east village.
Two bedrooms.
You'd love it.
Maybe.
I've got the keys.
You want to check it out?
Yeah, why not?
Not bad, huh?
No.
Not bad at all.
Got your nice hardwood
floors.
It used to be a one bedroom, but
they divvied it into two.
You could easily take that wall
down, though,
And make it one big bedroom
again.
Yeah.
This is nice.
I could very comfortable.
[ Sighs ]
[ Keys drop ]
[ Knock on door ]
Eat up.
Hey, come on in.
Connie!
Shh, theo.
The baby's sleeping.
Do you want to hold
the baby?
Okay.
Okay.
Are you ready?
Okay.
Hold her like a football,
right in here.
Just make sure her head doesn't
drop down.
Look, dad.
I see ya.
We can do better for both of
them together
Then we could trying to do
it on our own.
My apartment
has two bedrooms.
All right.
I'll talk to theo.
Okay.
