00:01:48.
00:01:50OK.
00:02:07It would be healthy for both of us if you
00:02:09keep your eyes on the road.
00:02:11Sure.
00:02:20OK.
00:02:50Do me a favor, cut across the tent?
00:03:05Why the hell not?
00:03:20Hey, Chris, can I ask you something personal?
00:03:28Sure.
00:03:29Fire away.
00:03:30How far would you go?
00:03:32How much evil would you commit for somebody you love?
00:03:35What?
00:03:41Would you kill someone?
00:03:43For somebody I love?
00:03:47Yes.
00:03:50I don't know.
00:03:51It depends.
00:03:52I just did.
00:03:55Did what?
00:03:56Murdered a man.
00:03:59Why are you telling me this?
00:04:02I was just goofing.
00:04:05I just wanted to see how you react.
00:04:12See ya.
00:04:13Hold on, wait.
00:04:14Wait a minute.
00:04:15Hey!
00:04:16Come here!
00:04:17Hey!
00:04:20I didn't hurt her shit!
00:04:25Hey!
00:04:39Shit!
00:04:40Holy shit, who we got here?
00:04:53Chris Morgan.
00:04:54The Chris Morgan.
00:04:56Scumbag rat bastard of the year.
00:04:59This piece of crap belong to you?
00:05:02Yeah.
00:05:03You got a license, of course.
00:05:05Of course.
00:05:07So that's what you're doing now, huh, Morgan?
00:05:09Pushing a hack around the city?
00:05:10I'm on personal leave from the department.
00:05:13A woman just jumped her fare.
00:05:15Good for her.
00:05:16So this is the canary of the 4-5 house.
00:05:18The guy talking to internal affairs.
00:05:21I didn't say anything to internal affairs, pal.
00:05:23Yeah.
00:05:24Now I'm Elvis's love child.
00:05:28There you go.
00:05:29Have a nice day.
00:05:34Hey, Morgan.
00:05:35Better fix that door.

00:06:07Ah!
00:06:07Ah!
00:06:08You scared the hell out of me.
00:06:36Get the hell out of you.
00:06:38What are you doing here?
00:06:41I got lonely, so I thought I'd come over and wait.
00:06:44Yeah?
00:06:48I guess I must have nodded off.
00:06:58Have I been ignoring you?
00:07:00You haven't called me in two days.
00:07:02I'm sorry.
00:07:061444, Fremont Avenue.
00:07:36Good afternoon, Mrs. Truitt.
00:07:41Hello.
00:07:42I need a necklace to go with these earrings.
00:07:45You know, I think I have the perfect thing for you, Mrs. Truitt.
00:07:50Hi.
00:07:51Hello.
00:07:52Have we met?
00:07:53Oh, yeah.
00:07:54The other night, you were wearing a blue dress.
00:07:56Oh, at the Abbey.
00:07:57No.
00:07:58In my cab.
00:07:59You beat me for my fare.
00:08:00Mrs. Truitt.
00:08:01I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:08:02Obviously, you have more of an impression on me than you.
00:08:06As in, how much evil would you commit?
00:08:07Remember that?
00:08:08Miss, call security, please.
00:08:09Miss, don't bother.
00:08:11I thought you were a cabbie.
00:08:12And I thought you were a lady.
00:08:13Ah, an exchange of insults.
00:08:14Is that what you want?
00:08:15No, all I want is my eight bucks forty.
00:08:16And an explanation.
00:08:18Why does someone who has the dough to pay for run out on a cabbage?
00:08:45before I run out on a camp fair.
00:08:48Well, here's your 840.
00:08:51Plus tip.
00:08:54And since I don't have an explanation,
00:08:56this will have to be.
00:09:01I just want what I earned.
00:09:15All right, so listen, mate.
00:09:36There's a tortoise walking down the road.
00:09:39He's got $200 in it.
00:09:42He's going up in the pubs.
00:09:43I think it went well.
00:09:45That's a brandy bird.
00:10:01Here you go.
00:10:03Oh, you're welcome.
00:10:13Hey, I'm going to get you.
00:10:16I'll take a drive.
00:10:19It's just like another.
00:10:21It all happens so fucking quick.
00:10:52I'll suddenly find a paradigm
00:10:56Lost in a moment of emotion
00:11:02Lost in the measure of the night
00:11:07And it feels so right with you
00:11:13Feels so right with you
00:11:22And I ain't never felt like this before
00:11:31When we're making love
00:11:34Not with anyone
00:11:36I never knew that I could be this way
00:11:42Like it is with you
00:11:45Cause this time is true
00:11:48Oh, this time is true
00:11:51It feels so right with you
00:12:10Baby, it feels so right with you
00:12:15It feels so right with you
00:12:21It feels so right with you
00:12:27Feels so right
00:12:31Feels so right
00:12:34Feels so right with you
00:12:37You know, it feels so right
00:12:48With you
00:12:49Mm-hmm
00:12:50Thank you
00:12:51Thank you
00:12:55Thank you
00:12:57Thank you
00:12:59Thank you
00:13:09Thank you
00:13:11845 23rd Street
00:13:25845 23rd Street
00:13:37845 23rd Street

00:13:49945 2400
00:14:11975 24th Street
00:15:13Hey, Morgan.
00:15:24Hey, asshole.
00:15:25Slam any car doors lately?
00:15:26I'm going to get the hell out of here.
00:15:27I'm going to slam you.
00:15:28Chris!
00:15:31Tom.
00:15:32How's it going, kid?
00:15:33All right, Lieutenant.
00:15:35You?
00:15:36Got a call.
00:15:38Probably tuberculosis from all the pigeon shit and events at headquarters.
00:15:42But other than that, I hear you had some trouble at the 4-5.
00:15:46You heard right.
00:15:47Well, Captain Schneck's a friend of mine.
00:15:48What's the problem?
00:15:49I'll be honest with you, Lieutenant.
00:15:51That place is a sewer.
00:15:52Hmm.
00:15:53You want to get back on the job?
00:15:56Sure.
00:15:56How?
00:15:58I'll get you reassigned to my unit.
00:16:00I could use someone like you, someone I can trust.
00:16:02Sounds great, Lieutenant.
00:16:03I just don't see how we...
00:16:04Hey, I've been 16 years in this department.
00:16:07I'm bucking for captain.
00:16:08I know whose ass is to kick and whose ass is to kiss.
00:16:10You're a good honest cop, Chris.
00:16:12Sometimes that's not enough.
00:16:14What you doing here, anyway?
00:16:17I'm just bird-dogging someone.
00:16:19Yeah?
00:16:19Who's that?
00:16:20Kerry Truett.
00:16:21Well, that's a pretty ritzy circle for a cop, huh?
00:16:25How do you know her?
00:16:26I drove her around town one time.
00:16:28Oh.
00:16:28Want to meet her husband?
00:16:30No, I wouldn't know what to say to her.
00:16:31Well, that's all right.
00:16:33He probably don't have too much to say to you, either.
00:16:38Could you tell me where you were last night?
00:16:42I was performing.
00:16:44At the, uh...
00:16:47Abbey Club?
00:16:48That's right.
00:16:49Tell about what time would you say?
00:16:521 a.m.
00:16:53Mm-hmm.
00:16:54Now, is this your profession, singing?
00:16:56Yes, I just started again.
00:16:58Again?
00:16:59When Charles and I married two years ago, I had to quit.
00:17:02He said it would be undignified for his wife.
00:17:05Would that be the reason that you separated?
00:17:09He contributed.
00:17:11He was twice my age, you know.
00:17:12We had very different ideas.
00:17:14Did he have any enemies?
00:17:16Lieutenant Charles is worth $25 million.
00:17:20That much money buys you plenty of enemies.
00:17:22Really?
00:17:23I would think it would buy your friends.
00:17:26Depends how you spend it.
00:17:27I see.
00:17:33Well, if there's anything else you can think of that might help us, I'd appreciate a call.
00:17:37I might have more questions for you later on.
00:17:39When I got a man here, it'll take you home.
00:17:45Thanks for coming in.
00:17:56Listen up, Chris.
00:17:57Yeah.
00:17:58Words on the street that a gun from, uh, Detroit's been paid to whack a Metro cop.
00:18:06Well, I guess we should all watch our backs.
00:18:09Well, only those of us that are involved in, uh, corruption scandal down in the docks.
00:18:15They say the guy's already been paid 20 grand.
00:18:18I hear you.
00:18:19Thanks, Lieutenant.
00:18:19You know, I need to apologize to you about running out on your failure the night.
00:18:36I-I opened my wallet, and I had no money.
00:18:39I panicked.
00:18:40Listen, uh, when I picked you up, you told me that you just killed a man.
00:18:46That's right.
00:18:47And?
00:18:47And the next thing I said was that I was just goofing around.
00:18:52It was just one of those silly things you say that turns out to have a tragic irony.
00:18:57Well, you told Lieutenant Kavanaugh that you were performing until 1 a.m. on Friday morning.
00:19:01But, uh, it doesn't ring true because I picked you up at 11.30 on Thursday night.
00:19:07I lied to your lieutenant.
00:19:10Why?
00:19:12I had a fight that night with the owner of the club, Mickey, and...
00:19:15Well, what'd you fight about?
00:19:16He wants to fuck me.
00:19:20I see.
00:19:21There are a lot of men I wouldn't mind going to bed with.
00:19:24Mickey's not one of them.
00:19:26I didn't ask.
00:19:29But you wanted to know.
00:19:30So why'd you come tonight?
00:19:47I wanted to hear you sing.
00:19:50Just couldn't stay away, huh?
00:19:51Look, I just, you know, like to experience new things, meet new people.
00:19:57And what new thing did you experience tonight?
00:20:02Did you sing as good as you look?
00:20:06You're too kind.
00:20:07Well, maybe I've become a fan.
00:20:10Oh, I have enough fans.
00:20:12Yeah, well, maybe I'm your biggest fan.
00:20:15My husband was my biggest fan.
00:20:17You live here?
00:20:34You live here?
00:20:48The only time I'm ever in places like this
00:20:50is when someone's been robbed, rigged, or murdered.
00:20:53So, do you intend on coming to the club again?
00:20:57I told you, I'm hooked. I'm a fan.
00:20:59My biggest fan, right?
00:21:01Sure.
00:21:02Yeah.
00:21:04Look, do us both a favor, okay?
00:21:07Stay away from me.
00:21:11Please.
00:21:13Thanks for the ride.
00:21:14Thanks for the ride.
00:21:25The incident occurred at 1301 Anaconda, near the pier.
00:21:38A gambling raid in a warehouse on the dock?
00:21:48The incident occurred at 1301 Anaconda, near the pier.
00:21:54A gambling raid in a warehouse on the dock?
00:21:58That's correct.
00:22:00Plainclothes division affected the operation.
00:22:02I was in uniform on my regular shift.
00:22:04When did you first see the alleged amount of cash?
00:22:07Immediately.
00:22:08It was on the table in the kitchen.
00:22:09And why did you think there was approximately $400,000?
00:22:12I watched them count it.
00:22:14Who is them?
00:22:23A few uniformed men, a couple of detectives, property clerk.
00:22:29And the next day you learned that it was, uh, inventoryed at the 45th precinct at $39,000?
00:22:35That's right.
00:22:38Any chance you were mistaken?
00:22:40None.
00:22:45Want to talk about some names?
00:22:47I don't even want to be here.
00:22:49But you are here, aren't you?
00:22:52Mike, what's your client's current status with Metro PD?
00:22:54It's personal leave without pay.
00:22:56It seemed advisable since there's about one death threat a day.
00:22:59Only one?
00:23:02Well, that's not too bad.
00:23:03Chris, how long have you been on the force before this incident?
00:23:08Thirteen months.
00:23:10Lucky thirteen, huh?
00:23:12And you're aware that any police officers convicted of lifting confiscated cash would go to prison?
00:23:17I'm aware.
00:23:18And you know that you can be subpoenaed to testify?
00:23:20Christ, yes, I know.
00:23:23You didn't touch any money yourself?
00:23:28I'm a cop.
00:23:30I arrest people for stealing.
00:23:33Of course.
00:23:35As your learned legal counsel, I'm going to remind you how an illegal gambling bust works.
00:23:44Mike, I don't want to hear...
00:23:45Everyone.
00:23:46Prosecutors, detectives, judges, they've all got a piece of that pile.
00:23:50You know what else?
00:23:51What?
00:23:52The spick who was running the dice game.
00:23:54He had his money back in his pocket before you even got home that night.
00:23:57And since the game was crooked, he's wetback sucker, he took a dive anyhow.
00:24:02So don't you get it?
00:24:03Justice gets served.
00:24:05Mike, if you're going to keep talking, why don't you tell me something I don't already know?
00:24:08I'll tell you something you don't know.
00:24:10You don't ever put honest numbers in a locker room.
00:24:12You know what?
00:24:13That's bullshit.
00:24:14I've been in and out of this filthy system, and I know how it works.
00:24:18I'm telling you, get back to Jacoby.
00:24:21You tell him you made a mistake.
00:24:23He's right, and you made a mistake.
00:24:25I know what I saw.
00:24:27Look at this.
00:24:27An honest cop.
00:24:30In theory, I respect you.
00:24:32In reality, I think you're a jerk.
00:24:36How the hell am I going to help you?
00:24:38Am I the one for you?
00:24:48Is this love that we're making?
00:24:52Oh, baby, tell me true.
00:24:56Because my heart's really breaking.
00:25:00Am I the one for you?
00:25:04Tell me true.
00:25:06Am I the one?
00:25:14Am I the one?
00:25:20Am I the one?
00:25:23Am I the one?
00:25:27Am I the one?
00:25:32Tell me true.
00:25:34Mr. Fuller, I'd like the pleasure of your company, mate.
00:25:54Who's Mr. Fuller?
00:25:55He's the owner.
00:26:02Hello again.
00:26:04My, but you do get around.
00:26:08Don't you know those things are bad for your health?
00:26:15Probably not as bad as you're going to be.
00:26:19And what kind of a greeting is that?
00:26:21By most standards, a pretty chilly one.
00:26:26So what am I to conclude from the fact that you're here again?
00:26:29That I still have a fan?
00:26:31Well, that's part of it.
00:26:32What's the other part?
00:26:36Find out why your husband was killed.
00:26:39Who did it?
00:26:42You and I should chat.
00:26:46Be at my house tomorrow night for dinner.
00:26:48I'll see you next time.
00:27:14Hey, Chris Morgan, just the guy I want to see.
00:27:28Lieutenant Cavanaugh.
00:27:29Hold it, man.
00:27:30Got to lose the Vivaldi.
00:27:32Lieutenant Cavanaugh, I said you called.
00:27:35I love crap like this.
00:27:38You will too.
00:27:39The Truett case, eh?
00:27:41Yeah.
00:27:42Well, here's Charlie right now.
00:27:45Two bullets through the frontal cranial lobe.
00:27:47Right here.
00:27:48Kaboom?
00:27:49Kaboom.
00:27:50Tiny but powerful little MF of a gun.
00:27:52Yeah, I can see that.
00:27:5425 caliber.
00:27:55Now, normally, we'll see 22 caliber for Sicilian hits
00:27:59and larger caliber for street business.
00:28:01You know, Marielitos and Jamaicans.
00:28:03So there's an unusual fire.
00:28:04This is a Derringer.
00:28:07Really?
00:28:08Really.
00:28:09Very distinctive.
00:28:10Cadaver caddies bring us 2,500 snuffs a year,
00:28:13and I don't see 2 with a Derringer.
00:28:16Damn.
00:28:16Look at this.
00:28:17Look at this.
00:28:20Yeah.
00:28:21You see that?
00:28:22Look real close.
00:28:24Powder burns?
00:28:25Heavy powder burns, came us out.
00:28:27Killer pushed the gun in the victim's face
00:28:29and shot him.
00:28:31Then, when Herr Truett was on the ground,
00:28:33sorry, Charlie,
00:28:35second shot was fired.
00:28:38You can tell by the exit wounds.
00:28:40Back of the head,
00:28:41large portions of bone, scalp, and brain still missing.
00:28:45Either bullet recovered?
00:28:47Not in our lap.
00:28:48I assume that they're out there somewhere in our fair city,
00:28:51along with a hunk of Charlie's skull.
00:28:53You didn't find anything at the crime scene?
00:28:55We don't even know where he was shot.
00:28:56Brutal.
00:28:58Apparently, the body was moved.
00:28:59Well, she must be a strong girl
00:29:01to move the body herself.
00:29:03That, or she had help,
00:29:06Derringer's a woman's weapon.
00:29:09And when a man gets shot that close by a woman,
00:29:12it's got to be a woman he knows,
00:29:14and one who hates him real bad.
00:29:16So what did your lieutenant say
00:29:32when you told him I lied?
00:29:33I didn't tell him you lied.
00:29:35And all the things I said that night
00:29:37about having killed a man?
00:29:39I never brought it up.
00:29:41Well, that seems strange.
00:29:43You're a policeman.
00:29:44Aren't those relevant details?
00:29:45Well, I hoped that in time
00:29:48you would explain them to me adequately.
00:29:52Have I?
00:29:56No.
00:30:00So what I said that night has remained our secret.
00:30:04That's right.
00:30:08You really are very beautiful.
00:30:11Don't hold back, Chris.
00:30:15But you are.
00:30:18My late husband used to tell me
00:30:20that I should be declared illegal in blue.
00:30:22He said that I looked so good when I wore blue
00:30:25that I was dangerous.
00:30:26I could get a man to do anything.
00:30:28Those nights are gone forever.
00:30:41Those nights are gone forever.
00:30:45They will never be again.
00:30:52Um, can I have a scotch on the rock?
00:31:03Gosh, I'm sorry.
00:31:05It's okay. No problem.
00:31:08I'm just... thanks.
00:31:11I'm just a bit of a clutch tonight.
00:31:22Here, let me help you.
00:31:27You okay?
00:31:30Thanks.
00:31:33Mr. Fuller showing you a good time?
00:31:35What?
00:31:36Mr. Fuller.
00:31:41Oh, yeah?
00:31:44You a friend of his?
00:31:46No, are you?
00:31:46Look, do you want to leave here?
00:31:54Oh, that's sweet, but I'm with Mickey tonight.
00:32:00Oh, no, no, I don't mean like that.
00:32:02I mean, do you want me to get you out of here and take you home?
00:32:08Here you go, sweetie.
00:32:09I'll get no strings for you and me.
00:32:12Misses your pretty face, he does.
00:32:14We're having a conversation.
00:32:15Is there anything else you want to tell this police officer, darling?
00:32:23There you have it, then.
00:32:26Come on.
00:32:27Come on.
00:32:28Jesus said that girl was terrified.
00:32:51Bossy, uh, pays for her.
00:32:56Well, that makes sense, didn't it?
00:32:58Why else would they hang out with a scumbag like that?
00:33:06I want to get out of here.
00:33:08Can we go?
00:33:09Sure.
00:33:09I want to get out of here.
00:33:11Let's go.
00:33:42Get out of the car.
00:33:45Get out of the car.
00:33:47What?
00:34:11Do you have time for a drink?
00:34:33Sure.
00:34:34Where?
00:34:35It's my favorite place.
00:34:37My treat.
00:34:38You'll see.
00:34:41Gary, where are you taking me now, huh?
00:34:59Come on, trust me.
00:35:01This is my favorite place.
00:35:19I've come here to think.
00:35:20Yeah?
00:35:21Yeah?
00:35:22Yeah.
00:35:23Yeah.
00:35:24Isn't this the most incredible view?
00:35:28Cold.
00:35:29You got an arm?
00:35:30Sure.
00:35:31Sure.
00:35:32So, has it occurred to you that I might have been involved in my husband's death?
00:35:38Of course.
00:35:39And what if I was?
00:35:40I'd arrest you.
00:35:41But if I killed one man, I'd kill another one, wouldn't I?
00:35:42I don't know, would you?
00:35:43Me and my sister, when we were little girls, we had big dreams of writing novels.
00:35:44I don't know.
00:35:45I don't know.
00:35:46I don't know.
00:35:47I don't know.
00:35:48Would you?
00:35:49Murder mysteries.
00:35:50Always with a valiant woman doing in a really evil man.
00:35:52I don't know.
00:35:53I don't know.
00:35:54I don't know.
00:35:55I don't know.
00:35:56I don't know.
00:35:57I don't know.
00:35:58I don't know.
00:35:59I don't know.
00:36:00I don't know.
00:36:01I don't know.
00:36:02If I killed one man, I'd kill another one, wouldn't I?
00:36:03I don't know.
00:36:04Would you?
00:36:05Me and my sister, when we were little girls, we had big dreams of writing novels.
00:36:14Murder mysteries.
00:36:15Always with a valiant woman doing in a really evil man.
00:36:20Is your sister a writer?
00:36:23She would have been.
00:36:25She died eight years ago.
00:36:27Oh, I'm sorry.
00:36:29It's sweet.
00:36:31Mm-hmm.
00:36:32You like that, don't you?
00:36:33Yeah.
00:36:34I kind of like a little more like this.
00:37:21Do you ever wear a uniform?
00:37:26Until recently I did.
00:37:28I bet you look good in blue, huh?
00:37:32As opposed to illegal?
00:37:34Yeah.
00:37:36You know, the cops use that term too, illegal in blue, but it means something different.
00:37:41It means to break department discipline, to do something in uniform that no cop should ever do.
00:37:47He went illegal in blue, they would say.
00:37:49Meaning he ended up dead or in jail, right?
00:37:52Half the time someone goes illegal in blue, they get away with it.
00:37:57And the other half?
00:37:58Like you said, dead or in jail.
00:38:00It's like homicide statistics, you know?
00:38:02Half the cases get solved, the other half...
00:38:04The killer walks.
00:38:06Right.
00:38:07So, if I got away with one murder, I might not expect to get away with a second.
00:38:16It's like a Simone.
00:38:19It's like a woman.
00:38:20It's okay.
00:38:20You're going to see a woman, right?
00:38:22It's okay.
00:38:23It's okay.
00:38:23It's okay.
00:38:24It's okay.
00:38:25It's okay.
00:40:56From the boys in blue, asshole.
00:41:16Chris!
00:41:22Chris.
00:41:36Can you, uh, tell me what you're doing in Mrs. Stewart's apartment at 5 a.m. in the morning?
00:41:43She asked me to give her a lift home from the club.
00:41:48Uh-huh. And what time was that?
00:41:51Uh, about 1.30 a.m.?
00:41:53I'll tell you, that's a hell of a long cup of coffee for four hours, huh?
00:41:58Can I mention something that's very crucial to you?
00:42:00I went out on a goddamn limb to have you transferred to my command.
00:42:03You play by the rules and you're my golden boy.
00:42:06You make me look like a jerk and I swear to God I'll bury you in shit deeper than you ever knew existed.
00:42:10I got it.
00:42:16I got it.
00:42:18I got it.
00:42:19I got it.
00:42:28I got it.
00:42:30I got it.
00:42:31I have waited, waited for love
00:42:36Maybe love has found me
00:42:40Maybe love has found me
00:42:43Maybe love has found me
00:42:47Hello
00:42:48Maybe love has found me
00:42:59And love
00:43:01God, I knew it.
00:43:11Joanne, hold on.
00:43:13Come here.
00:43:14Come on, Joanne, listen to me.
00:43:16Joanne, come here.
00:43:17Stay away from me.
00:43:18I gave up on you 30 seconds ago, okay?
00:43:20I can explain.
00:43:21I don't need an explanation from you.
00:43:23Honey, I'm sorry.
00:43:24Listen, I just, I'm in there.
00:43:25You think I have no feelings at all?
00:43:26Is that what it is?
00:43:27No.
00:43:27You think I don't know that you're seeing somebody else?
00:43:30The way you've been around me lately?
00:43:32You're staying out all night and your cab is parked on the street.
00:43:35I know you're not working.
00:43:36So I followed you.
00:43:38I followed you like some kind of lunatic.
00:43:40Joanne, it's this case I'm working on.
00:43:42Chris, can you look me in the eye
00:43:45to tell me you're not sleeping with that woman?
00:43:49I can't do that.
00:44:00Is she that good?
00:44:01So I am.
00:44:03Because when she's finished with you,
00:44:04I hope she dumps you real hard.
00:44:07Goodbye, Chris.
00:44:10Joanne, me...
00:44:11You don't look happy tonight either, Sid.
00:44:34I'm under obligation.
00:44:37Somebody in here should smile.
00:44:40You're a policeman, aren't you?
00:44:43Yeah.
00:44:43You can tell anybody I gave you this.
00:44:54I'm a dead man.
00:45:01Don't open it, dear.
00:45:02I feel so right.
00:45:04I feel so right.
00:45:07I feel so right.
00:45:24You've got him.
00:45:27You get better and better every time then.
00:45:32I feel so right.
00:45:58I don't love her.
00:46:15I think your boss would like to screw you.
00:46:18So would you, Connick.
00:46:22Why are you leading him on?
00:46:23I have no reasons.
00:46:24Do you?
00:46:26I wouldn't do it if I didn't.
00:46:28Well?
00:46:32Well, what?
00:46:33Are you fucking him or not?
00:46:34Oh, my, but we're blunt.
00:46:37Look, I just want to know where I stand.
00:46:39Well, why don't I tell you?
00:46:40I'm a very moral girl, Chris.
00:46:42I only screw one man at a time,
00:46:44and I screw him so well that he couldn't possibly screw anybody else.
00:46:48Currently, that man is you.
00:46:50Satisfied?
00:46:55Yes.
00:46:57Damn right.
00:46:58There you are.
00:47:09Did you know your husband was killed with a derringer?
00:47:12Was he?
00:47:12Two shots at close range.
00:47:21One while he stood, the other while he was on the ground.
00:47:24How do you know?
00:47:30From the forensics report.
00:47:33They can tell all that?
00:47:35All that and more.
00:47:36Carrie, give me the...
00:47:37Oh, you mean like this?
00:47:38Bang.
00:47:47You know, the woman who murdered him may have been wearing a blue dress.
00:47:52Maybe.
00:47:53Maybe.
00:47:54Maybe not.
00:47:55And what makes you think it was a woman?
00:48:00Just do.
00:48:01Oh, yeah.
00:48:02Know anyone who owns a derringer?
00:48:08I own him.
00:48:10Where is it?
00:48:11Come on in, Lieutenant.
00:48:11What's in your neighborhood?
00:48:12You don't even be dropping in, do you?
00:48:13No, it's on your mind.
00:48:14I wanted to talk to you without anybody else.
00:48:15It's okay, huh?
00:48:16Sure.
00:48:17You're gonna get it?
00:48:18No, I already know the messages.
00:48:19Hey, this is Chris.
00:48:20Leave a message.
00:48:21I'll call you back.
00:48:22Dust off your best suit, Morgan.
00:48:23You're gonna make a great-looking corpse.
00:48:24I'll return my calls later.
00:48:25The Truett case.
00:48:26I'll call you back.
00:48:27I'll call you back.
00:48:28I'll call you back.
00:48:29Come on in, Lieutenant.
00:48:30Come on in, Lieutenant.
00:48:31What's in your neighborhood?
00:48:32You don't even be dropping in, do you?
00:48:33No, it's on your mind.
00:48:34I wanted to talk to you without anybody else.
00:48:35It's okay, huh?
00:48:36Sure.
00:48:37You're gonna get it?
00:48:38No, I already know the messages.
00:48:39Hey, this is Chris.
00:48:40Leave a message.
00:48:41I'll call you back.
00:48:42I'll return my calls later.
00:48:45The Truett case.
00:48:47What's new?
00:48:49I was gonna ask you the same thing.
00:48:51Oh, we got a few things.
00:48:54I'm anxious to get her, you know.
00:48:56Get her?
00:48:57What do you think she is?
00:48:58An innocent woman?
00:48:59You tell me.
00:49:01Well, her name is Carrie Lennox.
00:49:05A penniless kid from Dublin, Ohio.
00:49:08She could sing up a storm.
00:49:10Give wealthy old guys an instant hard-on.
00:49:13Two very useful talents that neither of us have.
00:49:15Came to town.
00:49:17Made a beeline for Charlie Boy.
00:49:19Married him.
00:49:21He gets snuffed just a short while before the divorce is finalized.
00:49:25Guess who inherits?
00:49:26So you're saying the money's the motive?
00:49:28Big surprise, huh?
00:49:30You gotta think to drink.
00:49:32Yeah, it's in the kitchen.
00:49:33Help yourself.
00:49:34Thanks.
00:49:35So how'd you come up with all this background?
00:49:38Well, you're with my suspect.
00:49:40I got detectives on the job.
00:49:44You know, Gary's not the only one with financial motives.
00:49:49Drew had a silent partner.
00:49:51What was his name?
00:49:52Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
00:49:54Slimy Limey from the Abbey Club.
00:49:56Here.
00:49:57So he gets control of the club, so what?
00:49:59Well, it's something, isn't it?
00:50:00It's chicken shit, Chris.
00:50:02What's one million compared to 25?
00:50:05Besides, how did you find out about that?
00:50:09Oh, while your detectives are out thinking around,
00:50:12I was working on the case.
00:50:14Good boy.
00:50:15Got any ice?
00:50:16Well, why don't you open the freezer and see if you can find any?
00:50:19You're the detective.
00:50:20You're starting to get a little smart-assed.
00:50:22I like that.
00:50:23Well, I've been hanging out with you.
00:50:25Carries a major arrest, Chris.
00:50:28We bust her, and we both look good.
00:50:30I make captain, and you, my lecherous young friend,
00:50:33and you, make detective.
00:50:36You play your cards, right?
00:50:39I know you've been in her house.
00:50:41I assume you've been bopping her.
00:50:43Tell me.
00:50:44Is she as good as she looks?
00:50:46I know you've been in her house.
00:50:49I assume you've been bopping her.
00:50:51Tell me.
00:50:52Is she as good as she looks?
00:50:54Moreover, can you get yourself invited back in?
00:50:59Why?
00:51:00Snoop around a little.
00:51:03Are you asking me to do an illegal search, Lieutenant?
00:51:06Hey, it's not illegal if she invites you in, pal.
00:51:09We need the location where she shot him.
00:51:12Maybe a witness can put her at the scene.
00:51:14Most of all, we need the murder weapon.
00:51:16The Derringer.
00:51:17Yeah, well, I'll keep my eyes open.
00:51:19I'll keep my eyes open.
00:51:21I'll keep my eyes open.
00:51:22You better keep your eyes wide open, pal.
00:51:23She put two slugs in her husband's kisser.
00:51:24No telling what she'll do to you.
00:51:25Well, I don't know about that, Lieutenant.
00:51:26She tried to warn me about the hitman.
00:51:27Well, try it with a different spin.
00:51:28Suppose she was the one who paid for the hitman.
00:51:29And then she makes herself look good by trying to stop it.
00:51:31She wins either way, right?
00:51:32Or maybe she goes down to the parking lot, making sure the job is finished.
00:51:39And then she's surprised to see that it's not.
00:51:41Think with your head, Chris.
00:51:42Not with your dick.
00:51:43You live longer.
00:51:44Oh.
00:51:45Oh, God.
00:51:46Oh.
00:51:47Oh, God.
00:51:48Oh.
00:51:49Oh, God.
00:51:50Oh.
00:51:51Oh, God.
00:51:53Oh, God.
00:51:55Oh.
00:51:56Ù¹giving.
00:51:57Oh, God.
00:52:01Lieutenant Kavanaugh warned me about you.
00:52:08No, really.
00:52:09What did he say?
00:52:12That you killed your husband.
00:52:14So who knows what you'll do to me.
00:52:17How much do you know about your own lieutenant?
00:52:21He's my first commanding officer, fair-minded, straight as an arrow.
00:52:28He's not as honorable as you think.
00:52:31How would you know?
00:52:33He's been here.
00:52:35Here?
00:52:36Yes, asking questions.
00:52:42Well, it is his case.
00:52:45He was asking questions about you and me.
00:52:50I'm just warning you.
00:52:52Yeah, well, maybe I don't need to be warned.
00:52:55Maybe I can decide about people for myself.
00:52:59I hope so, lover.
00:53:01I hope so, lover.
00:53:03Chris Morgan, who wants to know?
00:53:23Lieutenant Howard Lyle, Internal Affairs.
00:53:25Detective Bruce Harris, Detective Leon Weber.
00:53:27Yeah, so?
00:53:28We've got a search warrant for your apartment.
00:53:30You want to have your lawyer present?
00:53:33No, it's not necessary.
00:53:35All right, let's get on with it.
00:53:44You must be leading some exciting life, Morgan.
00:53:47We had this place staked out for 12 hours before you showed up.
00:53:50Yeah, well, maybe you should have made an appointment.
00:53:53I never thought of that.
00:53:56What's this?
00:53:57It was in your freezer.
00:54:01What?
00:54:02You know, if these serial numbers match the ones that were inventoried from 1301 Anaconda,
00:54:14officer, you're, um, you're in a shitload of trouble.
00:54:23Chris, your fingerprints are the only ones on this.
00:54:26From when I unwrapped it.
00:54:29I don't know.
00:54:32Maybe you'll get 12 mongoloids that'll all believe you.
00:54:39So, how we doing in here?
00:54:40You son of a bitch.
00:54:44Relax, Chris.
00:54:45Oh, shit, I can't believe this.
00:54:47Even though you're too green to understand that you're gonna realize I've done you a fave.
00:54:50A fave?
00:54:52Well, thank you very much, you piece of shit.
00:54:55Chris, everything can work out very nicely.
00:54:58This is a case nobody wanted, remember?
00:55:01Frank, just get to it, all right?
00:55:03Just keep your shirt on, will ya?
00:55:08Officer Morgan.
00:55:09In conjunction with the June 10th arrests at 1301 Anaconda,
00:55:17we've drawn up your statement of retraction.
00:55:21You will acknowledge that your logbook was in error.
00:55:24Packets of $50 bills that you alleged you now believe to have been $5 bills.
00:55:29The tens you mistook as hundreds.
00:55:32Works out to $39,000 instead of $390,000.
00:55:36A rookie's error.
00:55:39Oh, this is bullshit.
00:55:42As your legal counsel, I advise you to sign it.
00:55:45In return, this $5,000 disappears to a public works fund.
00:55:54There will be no record of your arrest, much less this meeting.
00:55:58You take a few days of personal leave.
00:56:00Come back on Monday for a new assignment.
00:56:02And your personnel file will be a commendation from Captain Schneck and myself.
00:56:16Aren't you gonna read it?
00:56:18You know, I'm the only friend you've got in this room.
00:56:21Who the hell do you think wrote the goddamn thing?
00:56:22You know what?
00:56:31Fuck you.
00:56:32Oh, Chris, my...
00:56:33Fuck you, too.
00:56:34Fuck all of you guys.
00:56:35You wanna take me down?
00:56:37Go ahead.
00:56:38I'm going down anyway.
00:56:39But you know what, fellas?
00:56:40Now before I take every cop who stole money out of that warehouse with me
00:56:44and anybody in this room who's trying to cover up their crime,
00:56:47I'm gonna make this a fucking media circus.
00:56:49That's right, you may not go to jail, but your cops will.
00:56:53And I'll tell you what, before I'm through, I will get you so much ink in the press
00:56:56that it will take years before you can watch the newsprint from your respective careers.
00:57:08This meeting is over.
00:57:09Ah, shit.
00:57:20Good night.
00:58:42Just another case.
00:58:43That's not it at all.
00:58:45Oh, but it is.
00:58:47You want the details.
00:58:49How I shot him, when and why.
00:58:52I wanted to discover that you hadn't.
00:58:59When I came to the city, I went to work for Mickey.
00:59:02Through Mickey, I met Charles.
00:59:04And long before I married him, I knew I would kill him.
00:59:10Why?
00:59:11What, you don't know?
00:59:13I want to hear it from you.
00:59:16Men like Charles Truitt get away with murder every day, in one form or another.
00:59:20I know.
00:59:25I convinced Charles that Mickey and I were having an affair.
00:59:29Were you?
00:59:30No.
00:59:31But I convinced him that we were.
00:59:35And the suspicion drove him crazy.
00:59:38So he followed me.
00:59:40That was the night you picked me up in your cab.
00:59:42Do you remember that?
00:59:42I remember.
00:59:47I shot Charles 15 minutes before you and I met in an alley off Carmine.
00:59:52One shot while standing.
00:59:59The second while he was on the ground.
01:00:06Where's the gun, Carrie?
01:00:09You can build your career on this, Chris.
01:00:14I don't want to.
01:00:17Get your evidence.
01:00:19And then come back and make your arrest.
01:00:22I don't want to.
01:00:38I don't want to.
01:01:51There you go.
01:01:52See you later.
01:01:54Amen.
01:01:55Amen.
01:01:56Amen.
01:01:57Amen.

01:02:19Amen.
01:02:20Amen.
01:02:21Amen.
01:02:22Amen.

01:02:29Amen.
01:02:30Amen.
01:02:31Amen.
01:02:32Amen.
01:02:33Amen.
01:02:34Excuse me, I'm a police officer, a couple of questions
01:02:52I'd like to ask you.
01:02:53About what?
01:02:54About your girlfriend, Laura Flanagan.
01:03:04Hello, darling.
01:03:07Hello, Mickey.
01:03:09I've waited a long time for this, Carrie.
01:03:24So where do you want to do this, huh?
01:03:29Over there.
01:03:33Mickey, you remember a girl about eight years ago named Michelle?
01:03:52No, why would I?
01:03:54Well, this one killed herself, Mickey.
01:03:55Yeah?
01:03:56Yeah.
01:03:57Oh, what a shame.
01:03:59Seems every few years the same thing seems to happen, doesn't it?
01:04:02Did you know that most of the girls that come here are from the local Catholic school for
01:04:06women?
01:04:07What does that tell you, eh?
01:04:11I help pay their tuition, and they get to live out the fantasies that they've been secretly
01:04:16harboring for the past ten years.
01:04:18You think that's funny?
01:04:21Girls get into this out of their own free choice.
01:04:24Then they get all upset with what they've done, don't they?
01:04:27So who's to blame?
01:04:28Well, certainly not me.
01:04:30I mean, that's why it's called suicide, isn't it?
01:04:32See, the victim herself is responsible.
01:04:35Jesus, you're so bloody beautiful.
01:04:42No.
01:04:44Leave them on your legs.
01:04:49I want to lick every inch of you.
01:04:53Now come here.
01:04:55I've definitely waited too long for this.
01:04:58It's all right.
01:05:00How do I look in blue, huh, Mickey?
01:05:03Illegal.
01:05:04I don't care.
01:05:29I don't care.
01:05:32Where were you when my sister could've used an honest cop, huh?
01:05:43There's no such thing as an honest cop.
01:05:53So you figured it out?
01:05:55One of the girls at Laura Flanagan's memorial service told me.
01:06:01I got the whole story.
01:06:03Chris, come on.
01:06:04You came to this town with only one thing to mind,
01:06:08to avenge your sister's death.
01:06:10And you worked everything into the perfect position.
01:06:15And your husband's share of the club referred to Mickey with his death,
01:06:18so Mickey helped you murder your husband.
01:06:20And then part of the payment for that
01:06:23was that you had to sleep with Mickey.
01:06:26No.
01:06:27That's what Mickey thought.
01:06:29But you had other plans.
01:06:32So you're gonna arrest me now?
01:06:35I need the gun, Carrie.
01:06:39No, Chris.
01:06:40Just stay out of it.
01:06:41Are you kidding?
01:06:46Don't you know how things work in this city?
01:06:51No.
01:06:52How do things work?
01:06:53No.
01:06:54How do things work?
01:06:58Well, she's quite a lady, Mrs. Truett.
01:07:03She cleared you were very involved in me, you know.
01:07:05Well, after all, you and her were an item.
01:07:08Ah.
01:07:09Well, there you are, Chris.
01:07:10The world exactly the way you want it.
01:07:11No.

01:10:42And I was willing to pay any price.
01:10:49I didn't expect anybody to come in and save me.
