Cold Case s01e20 Episode Script
Greed
Well.
To boys, Here's to buying cheap and selling dear.
Selling? I sold our positions in Navrax right before the plummet.
- Why didn't you tell us? - Couldn't risk the leak.
Timing is everything.
Had to get out before the lemmings.
- There he is.
- The Kipster.
- We have a problem.
- What now, kiddo? - We're celebrating.
- It's important.
Everything's important to you, Kip.
And nothing is important to you.
The mouse roars.
People are losing their shirts on Navrax.
Well, I got my shirt.
Ascot Chang, it's tailor-made.
Please, Charlie.
- We have to talk.
- All right, all right.
Sit down.
Take a load off.
Keep 'em coming, Vicky.
Yes, sir, Mr.
Danville.
Nice tail on that one.
To lives of quiet desperation and not leading them.
Thanks for coming.
You could've just cancelled over the phone.
Cancel? And miss the chance of seeing Tripod and Cyclops? Who says you're gonna see them? I'm an optimist.
So, um, this guy is a friend of my older brother's, Randy Price.
Got in the jam with the SEC, FBI.
Enron type scandal.
Now he wants to cut a deal.
He's got something on the homicide? Charles Danville, 1985.
- Never heard of him.
- Big financial wizard back in the day.
Now Randy is in danger of going the way of Martha Stewart.
What are you talking about? Get your feet off my desk and your ass out of my chair, Randy.
Geez, Kite.
Is that any way to treat an old pal? Detective Rush, Randy Price.
You're a homicide detective? I gotta start committing some real crimes.
Enough of this white collar crap.
You got something you wanna tell me, Randy? I've got something amazing.
I know who killed Charles Danville.
Okay, fine.
You don't wanna solve the murder of one of the biggest names on Market Street, I can take this info elsewhere.
Door's that way.
You told me this lady was top notch, Kite.
She is.
Look, detective.
Before all this unpleasantness with SEC occurred, I was senior vice president of mergers and aquisitions.
I'm really busy, Randy.
Two weeks before Danville was killed, I was in the john of this hotel.
Son of a bitch, you lost it all.
- Do I know you? - Stu Livermore.
I invested 50 grand in Bentech and now look at this.
It's worthless.
You run the dry cleaners.
You begged me to let you invest.
Because you were supposed to be the big shot with all the inside information.
Well, did you read the perspectives? Because it clearly states the risks involved.
I need that money back.
All right, all right.
Stu, is it? Maybe, just maybe if I pull a few strings, I can get you into Navrax.
What's Navrax? It's a sure thing.
You already wiped me out, remember? I don't have any more money.
- You must think I'm really stupid.
- Not stupid, desperate.
And Navrax is your way out.
Trust me.
Don't let me pressure you.
- You sure about this Navrax? - Hey, ou got a better way out? Take it.
I got a life insurance policy.
It's worth about 10 grand.
But I warn you.
This Navrax bombs, you're gonna pay with your life, trust me.
What happened to Navrax? It crashed and burned.
Two weeks after Livermore invested.
Same time Danville got killed.
I told you it was good.
Well, why didn't you let the cops know about it back then? How would I profit from that? I was saving it for a rainy day.
And now, it's pouring.
Cold Case ORIGINAL AIR DATE ON CBS: 2004/04/18 Theory in '85 was a car jacking gone wrong.
Danville's body was found in an alley off the Market Street.
I remember Danville.
He was all over the business section back in the '80's.
His Delorean was found the next day in Ardmore, 20 miles away.
Junked and stripped.
Lotta high end cars got jacked in '85.
Yeah, they busted a ring of guys for exporting car parts overseas that year.
Details of the theft match up with the MO in all the others, except this one left a victim.
And that pal of Kite's, Randy Price.
.
A '80's throw back, a real Market Street, 'greed is good' type.
But he's got information? This story about Livermore waving that gun around is pretty interesting.
Maybe Livermore shot Danville, took the Delorean to make it look like a car jacking.
Scotty and I'll track down Livermore, see what he has to say.
Want me and Vera to go talk to the last-to-see? - Who was it? - Victoria Jordan, bartender at a place called Arbitrage.
I've been there with my stockbroker.
You're in the market, boss? Half of America is, Lil.
Not my half.
I'll give my broker a call, see what he know about Danville and company he used to work for.
Stu Livermore? Detectives Rush and Valens.
Hey, finders keepers.
It ain't illegal colllecting discarded tickets.
We wanna talk to you about Charles Danville.
Danville.
That lying huckster ruined my life.
We heard.
You been talking to my ex.
She told us where to find you.
You had a run-in with him June, 7th, 1985.
Swore that if Navrax bombs, you'd kill him.
That's right.
What? You think I made good on that threat? You shoved the gun to his chest.
Should've fired it too.
But instead I invested another 10 grand with him.
Two weeks later, that was gone too.
Mr.
Livermore? Hey.
Kip Krowley, I'm an associate of Mr.
Danville's.
I don't want an associate, I want Danville.
Mr.
Danville is extremely busy.
/ Yeah, busy robbing on his people like me.
I went to the headquarters in Navrax Corporation.
You know what I found? One.
.
One old lady in an 8-by-10 office answering the phone.
That's Navrax.
An old lady with a phone.
You.
.
You must be mistaken.
No mistake.
/ Well, I'm sure that there's an explanation.
That money was going to pay for my children's education.
My wife's gonna leave me.
I'd kill myself, but that wouldn't do any good.
I've already cashed in on my life insurance.
Hey, I.
.
I'm very sorry.
Please, I'm begging you.
If I don't get that money back.
Just.
.
you give me your number, Mr.
Livermore, okay? I personally gurantee Mr.
Danville will look into this and call you.
- When? - End of the day.
Tomorrow morning at the latest.
I give you my word.
I was sitting by the phone all that day like a chump waiting for that kid to come through.
I got the brush-off.
I finally went to bed.
And I saw the story on the morning news.
But you never got your money back? Guess I could've hired a lawyer, try to sue, you know, if I had a cent to my name.
But I didn't.
Still don't.
You were the last person to see Charles Danville alive? Yeah, around two am.
Saw him walk out that door like every night.
Anyone with him? Nope.
Lost Boys left earlier.
Lost Boys? / Yeah.
Danville had a group of young boys that worshipped him.
Fed his ego.
/ From Collins Brothers, the firm where he worked? They wished.
Danville's boys weren't Ivy League.
They were wannabes.
On the outside looking in, until Danville took pity on them about a month before he died.
He had met them before? / No, not that I knew of at least, but he got real friendly, real fast.
Wonder when I'll ever be those boys.
Yeah.
Galaxy far far away.
Go get some stock tips.
Holy crap, that is Charles Danville.
He's.
.
he's coming our way.
Be cool.
Mr.
Danville.
Can we buy you a drink? You guys from Blaine? Yeah, but how could you tell? Well, to start, You're dressed like used car salesmen, you're at the bar, because you can only afford an appetizer and you're gawking at the swells like they're different species.
Which they are.
Except for me.
I used to work in a sweat shop just like Blaine back in the day.
Cold caling chumps for ten dollar commissions.
So how did you get to where you are? Cajones.
Big brass ones.
You guys got 'em? Yeah, we got going it.
Yeah.
Good.
Cause if you're hungry, maybe I can help you out.
Seriously? I'm putting together a bond offering for a company called Navrax.
You know Navrax? Yeah, of course.
Navrax is awesome.
You're crappy liars.
But you'll get better.
Stick with me, I'll teach you how to sell snow to eskimos.
You'll be millionaires by the end of summer.
Interested? Yeah.
Why would a big shot like Danville wanna associate with nobodies? Maybe he saw himself in those boys.
Maybe he was just slumming.
All I know was, the day he died, we got stuck with 11 thousand dollar tab.
worth more than my car.
- Way more.
- Owner of the Arbitage at the time, he thought Danville was made of money.
Just too busy to get around to paying it.
Me, I would never have let that happen.
- The owner still around? - Sold the place, to me.
And I don't give credit to no one.
Four bucks.
So Mackie's your broker, huh? He told you where to find me? So Danville worked for you for what, six years? Something like that.
Thought he got killed in the car jacking.
Well, we're taking another look at that.
My detectives talked to a woman at the Arbitrage and said the guy was a louse, welched on his debts.
- Sounds about right.
- I thought Danville was a heavy hitter.
Rolling in dough.
For a while.
Then he hit a losing streak.
Every stock he hyped went in the toilet.
That's why we fired him.
Fired? Wasn't he still the employee of the Collins Brothers when he died? On paper, he was.
But he begged us to let him stay unsalaried until he can get another gig going.
So Danville was on the ropes.
Day he died, we had to cover about half a mil of his debts to protect the firm's reputation.
Keep up the appearances.
And keep the authorities off our backs checking records.
Fat lot of good it did us considering I got popped for insider trading.
Well, it could've been worse.
You could've ended up like Danville.
Broke? / Dead.
So Danville's broke but still playing the big shot? Yeah, scrambling to get the Navrax deal off the ground while his reputation's still intact and he still had an office at Collins Brothers.
So this guy's all tabbed out, but he's still got a corporate apartment, tab in the five star restaurant and a Delorean to push around? How do I get this job.
Now, how come the assigned didn't look at the disgruntled investors for this? - Car jacking theory looked solid.
- Collins Brothers covered for Danville.
They erased the paper trail of his debts.
And plus white collar criminal ususally get sued, not shot.
So, maybe the doer isn't your typical investor.
Let's check the SEC records.
See if anyone with a criminal record bought shares with Navrax.
We'll go talk to Danville's old associates.
The Lost boys.
/ Start with the kid that was supposed to get back to Livemore.
Kip.
Kip Krowley? Detective Rush and Valens.
It's about Charles Danville.
Charlie Danville? That was a life time ago.
We've been talking to an old associate of yours, - Randy Price.
- Oh yeah, I read about Randy.
He's in trouble with the SEC, huh? He says Stu Livermore threatened Danville's life.
No kidding.
We know you dealt with Livermore in '85 running interference for Danville.
But you never told the cops about that.
Well, Charlie was killed in a car jacking.
What would Livermore have to do with that? Did you know he pulled a gun on Danville two weeks before his death? No, I didn't.
I just felt bad for the guy.
Did you talk to him? Is he making out? He's collecting used tickets off the floor at the OTB.
That's a shame.
I tried to talk to Charlie about him the night that he died.
To lives of a quiet desperation.
And not leading them.
So, kiddo.
What's so important that can't wait? I went to the headquarters at the Navrax Corporation.
- This about the drycleaner mope? - Livermore.
And he was right.
It's nothing.
Nothing.
It's an old lady answering phones.
So? It's the idea that counts.
Not the the brick and mortar.
Charlie.
I promised Livermore that you would call him.
I personally guaranteed.
.
Don't promise things, kiddo.
Can you help him? Please.
For me.
That's good.
Kip.
Going for the heart like that? I actually have taught you something.
So you will talk to him? / No.
Hey, I'm a heartless bastard, remember? No, you're not.
You are too good to be true.
Kiddo, have a drink.
Lighten up.
That was the last time that I saw him.
I walked to the train and went to my mom's.
Danville sounds like he was telling the truth about being a heartless bastard, huh? Nah, that was just his way.
He was training me to be like him.
Were you upset when he died? Broken up.
Like I said, he was trying to teach me to suceed.
Wasn't his fault I couldn't cut it in his world.
These are records from the SEC.
About 4000 people invested in Navrax back in '85.
Most for a thousand bucks or so.
And only a dozen went in for 25 grand.
Anyone with a record? Yeah, one.
Teddy Mars.
Served 5 years for dealing cocaine in the late '80's.
And another three for manslaughter, broke a guy's neck in Frackville.
How does a ?? like Mars get into business with a highroller like Danville.
If he was selling cocaine to Danville.
Danville was broke.
Maybe there was some bartering going on.
And cocaine for stocks? - And if those investments tanked? - Mars would come collecting.
The old fashioned way.
Check with his parole officer see if he's got a good address.
Teddy Mars.
Wanna talk to you about Charles Danville.
You ain't Vice.
And you don't look like Narcs.
Homicide.
/ You invested 25 grand in the complany Danville was selling called Navrax.
Hold up.
Let me get my lawyer down here.
We can have a real nice pow wow, just the four of us.
While you're on the line, we'll talk to your boys over there.
- What boys? - The ones that are dealing for you? You got me wrong detectives.
I'm an artist now.
Suit yourself, Teddy.
With what they're holding, you're coming with us.
So how'd you get involved with Danville? That ain't a secret.
For a time I supplied all the joints in Market Street.
- Including Arbitrage? - Especially Arbitrage.
Them Brooks Brothers types liked to party.
Teddy.
You should get on this Navrax.
- Make some fortune.
- You wanna taste the merchandise? How much for the whole ounce? Boys deserve a treat.
Ounce is three grand.
You already owe me ten.
You know what, I'm gonna cut you in on this Navrax deal for 25 thousand.
Couple of months, it'll be worth twice that, - maybe three times.
- Yeah, you do that.
After you pay me the 13 grand in cash.
I'll give that think through.
/ Teddy, - this Navrax is like money in the bank.
- You don't got it, do you? I'm offering you 25 grand in bonds for 13.
Give me your Rolex.
Teddy, come on.
Imma take your watch and your worthless paper.
But 24 hours, I want my 13 K in cash.
So did you get your money? Next day.
One of Charlie's boys delivered a briefcase full of green.
You happen to remember who gave you the money? Yeah, the pretty boy.
Beau something.
Look, if you don't believe me, ask him.
He'd tell you.
I got paid.
I didn't kill Charlie.
Cuz I had no reason to.
I may have met a Mr.
Mars back in the '80's.
I couldn't say for sure.
We're Homicide, Beau.
- Not Narcotics.
- Or the SEC.
Well, then.
Hell, yeah, I remember Teddy.
He was our supplier.
Did Danville send you to him with a briefcase full of money? Yeah.
And he was pissed about it too.
We were coining it on Navrax, but Charlie hated to part with the actual cash.
So why did he? Cuz Charlie could take the heat from the blue ?? ladies or ??.
But Teddy Mars was a different story.
So you knew Danville was a swindler? I looked the other way.
You any other investors that might want to see Danville dead? Investors? No.
Then who? After I gave Teddy the cash, I went back to Charlie to return his Rolex.
Our brave boy, back from the trenches.
The guy scared the piss out of me.
Sit down, take a load off.
Help yourself.
Thanks.
I got your watch back.
I want you to keep it.
Token of my appreciation.
Seriously.
You're the one, Beau.
You're the one who's gonna make it big.
I am? / I don't think the others have what it takes.
But you, you know what it takes.
Don't you? That's when I got out.
Danville hit on anyone else you know of? He hit on all of us.
If you wanted to succeed with Charlie, you play by his rules.
And that meant sleeping with him? If you wanted to get ahead, that's what it meant.
Want a deal, Randy, you start talking.
And you tell all.
No more saving for a rainy day.
Livermore didn't kill Danville.
I know what I heard.
You know what we heard? Danville liked boys.
Young ones.
Up-and-comers, like you.
He hit on you, Randy? Cuz he hit on Beau.
Yeah, but Beau didn't kill him.
He's got an alibi.
He was at his girlfriend's the night Danville got dead.
But you, you don't have a alibi, do you? Wait a minute.
You think I killed Danville? That's insane.
So, you like biting the pillow.
You didn't get horizontal to make it to Homicide? Guy's worthless.
This deal's off.
Okay, okay.
Cool your jets.
God.
Did I service Danville to get ahead? Yeah, so what? So maybe you felt humiliated by that.
Decided to gun down the man who made you catch for him.
I did what I had to do.
- Big deal.
- You got anything more on Danville, you wanna say it right now, Randy.
Cuz your deal is going south, fast.
Okay.
All right.
This is the entire truth.
Well, that's big for Randy.
I met Danville earlier than I said before.
How much earlier? Little more than a month before he was killed.
You want a ride? Hey, you're Charles Danville.
That's right.
And you work for Blaine & Sons.
How do you know that? I used to have a crappy umbrella just like that.
Hop in.
This is so cool.
Took me hard days of work to afford it.
Do you think I'm kidding? No.
You know, I used to work for a joint like Blaine.
- Back in the day.
- Seriously? Till I wised up, took some risks.
You a risk taker, uh.
.
? Randy.
Randy Price.
Yeah, I like risk.
Good, Randy.
Then I'm gonna make you a proposition.
I'm gonna create a company at thin air, sell the hell out of it.
Can you do that? I'm Charles Danville.
I can do anything.
Still looking for a couple salesmen.
You know anyone who might be interested? So Danville meeting you, Kip and Beau at the Arbitrage, that was a setup? Yep.
Worked like a charm, too.
And Beau and Kip never knew Navrax was bogus? Beau knew it was a boiler room scam, but he didn't care so long as he making out.
And Kip? Kip was a fool.
Out of his depth.
Believed every word Danville said.
Why'd you keep this from us, Randy? Because it was a crooked deal.
And I'm facing charges of invested fraud.
Okay, you know what, I just remembered something.
And this is good.
Hey, feel that? It's raining again.
Kip Krowley the dummy, he got his mother to invest in Navrax and she lost a bundle.
Oh we've seen the list of investors, there's no Krowley.
No, Danville told me she invested.
He bragged about closing the deal.
Hey, your boyfriend in there was telling the truth.
It's too bad.
Kip's mum did invest in Navrax.
She went by Mavis Breen, not Krowley.
How much'd she drop? That's worth a conversation.
What? You got plans? Kind of.
You got plans? You kidding? I'm married.
I'd take any excuse not to go home.
I wish you boys would've given me some warning.
Would've made myself presentable.
We just wanted to ask you about Navrax, Mrs.
Breen.
Mavis, please.
I'm divorced.
Can you tell us how you came to invest in the company, Mavis? You'd have to ask Kip anout Navrax.
Well, we'd rather talk to you.
Kip isn't in any trouble, is he? Cuz if he is, it's my fault.
And how does that work? Well, when it comes to men, I make terrible choices.
And poor Kip had to suffer through my divorces ?? all four of them.
So, about Navrax, Kip told you to invest? He knew I had some money in the bank from my last settlement.
He just wanted to help me grow it.
Did you ever meet Charles Danville? He took Kip and me to dinner.
You know, to make his pitch.
Chin chin.
What is this? Well, that is called sushi, Ms.
Breen.
Oh, it's Mavis.
Why isn't it cooked? Oh, it's cutting edge.
Raw's the next big thing.
Well, I prefer chicken teriyaki.
Mum.
, Charlie has a great investment opportunity for you.
It's a company called Navrax, Mavis.
High tech.
Japanese are interested in investing, right, Charlie? But I promise you it has nothing to do with sushi.
Charlie's a genious, mum.
He's a senior VP at Collins Brothers.
I've heard of Collins Brothers.
I'm old news.
Kip here is the future.
No thanks to you, huh? I may have helped out a little bit.
Charlie is my mentor, mum.
You flatter me, kiddo.
I certainly appreciate your taking interest in my boy.
But when it comes to investing, I'm all for cautious.
Well, your mum's just my lady, Kip.
It's obviously going to take more than one dinner to get her to see the wisdom of investing.
So, Danville convinced you? Eventually.
I really invested for Kip's sake.
You know, to help advance his career.
Lot of good that did.
You must've been pretty angry losing all that money.
- Furious.
- How about Kip? He was devastated.
He really believed in that Danville.
So in your defense, he took revenge on Danville.
Oh no, my Kip couldn't hurt a fly.
Me, on the other hand, I wanted to string Danville up by his lying neck.
But of course I didn't.
Man was dad before I could buy a rope.
Your friend Price is a real prince.
He's my brother's friend.
And he's always been a low life.
Well, he's saint compared to Danville.
That's the j.
o.
b.
We don't get to pick our victims.
So, you wanna go see another movie tomorrow night? It's first Thursdays, tomorrow.
First what? First Thursday of every month, the homicide detectives get together, - retired and active.
- To do what? Talk.
Drink.
Sounds fun, bring me along.
I don't know, Kite.
You're not in the Hat Squad.
You guys have more weird names for yourselves.
It's usually just cops.
Well, I'm a friend of a cop.
You wanna see the girls? Met your mum, Kip.
You did.
/ Heard how she lost a cool 50 K to Navrax.
Oh boy.
/ You forgot to mention that to us, did ya.
Well, I didn't tell you because I thought it would look like I killed Charlie.
- It does.
- And that's just the half of it.
- What do you mean? - Randy Price, Beau Munger, they say Danville was a sexual predator.
They said that? Come on, Kip.
Quit the act.
You worshipped Danville.
Not only did he use you to get to your mum's money.
.
He hit on you too.
No.
That's not how it went.
You really think I should buy it? Hell yes, I think you should buy it.
Maybe I should save the money that we're making off Navrax.
No, no, kiddo.
There's plenty more where that came from.
- I do love it.
- Then buy it.
You derserve it.
/ Yeah? I'm really proud of you, you know.
You've come a long way.
I don't know.
Hey, kiddo, you stick with me.
You're gonna rule Market Street one day.
Follow right in my footsteps.
Come on, kiddo.
Let's grab the bull by its horns.
Okay.
I gotta tell you something.
The car's not the only thing that I love.
I love you, too.
I love you, too, kiddo.
No, I mean I really love you.
Charlie didn't hit on me.
I hit on him.
Now that must've surprised Danville.
He was surprised.
But then we fell in love.
You buy that Mustang? Yeah.
Charlie and I drove all over town in it.
I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.
So the thought of me killing him is so crazy.
I loved him, I still do.
Yeah, Kip said he took trains to his mum's the night, Danville died.
- Yeah.
- There's a reason.
I ran all the car jackings in June of '85, no mustang is stole in Philly.
But in Montgomery county where Kip's mum lived.
.
- Cherry red mustang? - Junked and stripped.
- Guess where? - Ardmore.
Just like all the other car jackings.
Including Danville's Delorean.
Pretty amazing coincidence.
How'd they miss this in '85? Montgomery County and Philly were like two separate countries, Scotty.
So maybe Kip's playing us using love as a alibi.
Let's bring the math teacher in this time.
See whether he likes our house.
This is wrong.
Why are you doing this to me? - He's excellent.
- Sure you don't teach drama? I'm telling you the truth.
I didn't kill Charlie.
Why do you think that? Well, cuz your precious cherry red Mustang was car jacked a few days before Charlie was killed.
So you knew exactly how to cover up a murder and make it look like a car jacking.
Was it spur of the moment, Kip, or premeditated? I left Charlie at the Arbitrage alive and then I went to the train station jsut like I told you.
I believe you left the bar, Kip.
Then you waited outside for Danville to leave.
Shot him twice and took off in his Delorean.
- No, that's not what happened.
- So what did happen? The night he was killed I, I kept at him.
I confronted him one last time.
Charlie.
We're having a conversation here, Kip.
I'm not leaving till we talk.
What's bothering you now? - If you won't help Livermore.
.
- Get over Livermore.
At least tell me that the you're not gonna scam her too.
Your mum already received a return on her investment.
What do you mean? Ask her.
Charlie, you're really confusing me here.
Is, is my mother gonna get her money back or not? No, Kip.
She's not.
But she's my mother.
And she is not some stranger like Livermore.
I thought that you cared about us, I mean me.
I do, kiddo.
That's why you need to listen to me very closely.
This game ain't for you.
Get out while you're still young.
Go back to the sticks.
Become a librarian.
Something more your speed.
You're kidding, right? I wanted to help you but you're just not catching on.
- Charlie.
- It's over.
- No sale.
- But I love you.
Sorry.
So long, kiddo.
I left there crying like a baby.
Never saw Charlie again.
Says you.
I went to my mum's.
Like I told you.
When it comes to alibis, a mother's pretty close to worthless.
I can't confess to a murder I didn't commit.
Why don't you believe me? What are you doing here? Kip's in custody for murder of Charles Danville, Mavis.
Oh no.
No, that's not right.
Kip did not do anything.
We know about Kip's car getting jacked.
So what? That doesn't prove anything.
So you knew about that, too.
Well, of course I knew.
Mavis, there are ways of tesifying that you could help Kip, reduce his sentence.
He seems like a decent guy jury will respond to that.
Seems? That boy's an angel.
All the same, he killed a man in cold blood.
And left him to die in the road.
That boy is an angel.
And, and Danville was the devil.
I'm sorry, mum.
So sorry.
I don't care about the money.
I loved him.
I know.
Mum, I really, really loved him.
You mean, you and him? Yeah.
God, he used me and spit me out like I'm nothing.
He told me that I was.
.
I wasn't cut out for the business and just go back to the vegetable patch.
It's okay.
It's okay, baby.
It's okay.
Hello, Charlie.
Mavis.
What are you doing here? Called the bar, made sure you were still here and sauced.
What do you want? You.
/ Again? I didn't give you enough of the workout last night? Yeah.
That was a business.
You had to close a deal.
What, are you sore about the money? Forget the money.
I want you.
Look, Mavis, I'm a little tired.
Im an adult, I got no one but myself to blame for sleeping with a cold blooded reptile like you.
But Kip's just a kid.
- He's in his 20's.
- He's a baby.
Look, why don't you just put the gun away.
Okay? We'll talk the whole thing through.
Sleep with a mother and her son? This is low as it gets.
- Kip doesn't have to know.
- He's never gonna know anything.
Just think you got what was coming to ya Kiddo.

To boys, Here's to buying cheap and selling dear.
Selling? I sold our positions in Navrax right before the plummet.
- Why didn't you tell us? - Couldn't risk the leak.
Timing is everything.
Had to get out before the lemmings.
- There he is.
- The Kipster.
- We have a problem.
- What now, kiddo? - We're celebrating.
- It's important.
Everything's important to you, Kip.
And nothing is important to you.
The mouse roars.
People are losing their shirts on Navrax.
Well, I got my shirt.
Ascot Chang, it's tailor-made.
Please, Charlie.
- We have to talk.
- All right, all right.
Sit down.
Take a load off.
Keep 'em coming, Vicky.
Yes, sir, Mr.
Danville.
Nice tail on that one.
To lives of quiet desperation and not leading them.
Thanks for coming.
You could've just cancelled over the phone.
Cancel? And miss the chance of seeing Tripod and Cyclops? Who says you're gonna see them? I'm an optimist.
So, um, this guy is a friend of my older brother's, Randy Price.
Got in the jam with the SEC, FBI.
Enron type scandal.
Now he wants to cut a deal.
He's got something on the homicide? Charles Danville, 1985.
- Never heard of him.
- Big financial wizard back in the day.
Now Randy is in danger of going the way of Martha Stewart.
What are you talking about? Get your feet off my desk and your ass out of my chair, Randy.
Geez, Kite.
Is that any way to treat an old pal? Detective Rush, Randy Price.
You're a homicide detective? I gotta start committing some real crimes.
Enough of this white collar crap.
You got something you wanna tell me, Randy? I've got something amazing.
I know who killed Charles Danville.
Okay, fine.
You don't wanna solve the murder of one of the biggest names on Market Street, I can take this info elsewhere.
Door's that way.
You told me this lady was top notch, Kite.
She is.
Look, detective.
Before all this unpleasantness with SEC occurred, I was senior vice president of mergers and aquisitions.
I'm really busy, Randy.
Two weeks before Danville was killed, I was in the john of this hotel.
Son of a bitch, you lost it all.
- Do I know you? - Stu Livermore.
I invested 50 grand in Bentech and now look at this.
It's worthless.
You run the dry cleaners.
You begged me to let you invest.
Because you were supposed to be the big shot with all the inside information.
Well, did you read the perspectives? Because it clearly states the risks involved.
I need that money back.
All right, all right.
Stu, is it? Maybe, just maybe if I pull a few strings, I can get you into Navrax.
What's Navrax? It's a sure thing.
You already wiped me out, remember? I don't have any more money.
- You must think I'm really stupid.
- Not stupid, desperate.
And Navrax is your way out.
Trust me.
Don't let me pressure you.
- You sure about this Navrax? - Hey, ou got a better way out? Take it.
I got a life insurance policy.
It's worth about 10 grand.
But I warn you.
This Navrax bombs, you're gonna pay with your life, trust me.
What happened to Navrax? It crashed and burned.
Two weeks after Livermore invested.
Same time Danville got killed.
I told you it was good.
Well, why didn't you let the cops know about it back then? How would I profit from that? I was saving it for a rainy day.
And now, it's pouring.
Cold Case ORIGINAL AIR DATE ON CBS: 2004/04/18 Theory in '85 was a car jacking gone wrong.
Danville's body was found in an alley off the Market Street.
I remember Danville.
He was all over the business section back in the '80's.
His Delorean was found the next day in Ardmore, 20 miles away.
Junked and stripped.
Lotta high end cars got jacked in '85.
Yeah, they busted a ring of guys for exporting car parts overseas that year.
Details of the theft match up with the MO in all the others, except this one left a victim.
And that pal of Kite's, Randy Price.
.
A '80's throw back, a real Market Street, 'greed is good' type.
But he's got information? This story about Livermore waving that gun around is pretty interesting.
Maybe Livermore shot Danville, took the Delorean to make it look like a car jacking.
Scotty and I'll track down Livermore, see what he has to say.
Want me and Vera to go talk to the last-to-see? - Who was it? - Victoria Jordan, bartender at a place called Arbitrage.
I've been there with my stockbroker.
You're in the market, boss? Half of America is, Lil.
Not my half.
I'll give my broker a call, see what he know about Danville and company he used to work for.
Stu Livermore? Detectives Rush and Valens.
Hey, finders keepers.
It ain't illegal colllecting discarded tickets.
We wanna talk to you about Charles Danville.
Danville.
That lying huckster ruined my life.
We heard.
You been talking to my ex.
She told us where to find you.
You had a run-in with him June, 7th, 1985.
Swore that if Navrax bombs, you'd kill him.
That's right.
What? You think I made good on that threat? You shoved the gun to his chest.
Should've fired it too.
But instead I invested another 10 grand with him.
Two weeks later, that was gone too.
Mr.
Livermore? Hey.
Kip Krowley, I'm an associate of Mr.
Danville's.
I don't want an associate, I want Danville.
Mr.
Danville is extremely busy.
/ Yeah, busy robbing on his people like me.
I went to the headquarters in Navrax Corporation.
You know what I found? One.
.
One old lady in an 8-by-10 office answering the phone.
That's Navrax.
An old lady with a phone.
You.
.
You must be mistaken.
No mistake.
/ Well, I'm sure that there's an explanation.
That money was going to pay for my children's education.
My wife's gonna leave me.
I'd kill myself, but that wouldn't do any good.
I've already cashed in on my life insurance.
Hey, I.
.
I'm very sorry.
Please, I'm begging you.
If I don't get that money back.
Just.
.
you give me your number, Mr.
Livermore, okay? I personally gurantee Mr.
Danville will look into this and call you.
- When? - End of the day.
Tomorrow morning at the latest.
I give you my word.
I was sitting by the phone all that day like a chump waiting for that kid to come through.
I got the brush-off.
I finally went to bed.
And I saw the story on the morning news.
But you never got your money back? Guess I could've hired a lawyer, try to sue, you know, if I had a cent to my name.
But I didn't.
Still don't.
You were the last person to see Charles Danville alive? Yeah, around two am.
Saw him walk out that door like every night.
Anyone with him? Nope.
Lost Boys left earlier.
Lost Boys? / Yeah.
Danville had a group of young boys that worshipped him.
Fed his ego.
/ From Collins Brothers, the firm where he worked? They wished.
Danville's boys weren't Ivy League.
They were wannabes.
On the outside looking in, until Danville took pity on them about a month before he died.
He had met them before? / No, not that I knew of at least, but he got real friendly, real fast.
Wonder when I'll ever be those boys.
Yeah.
Galaxy far far away.
Go get some stock tips.
Holy crap, that is Charles Danville.
He's.
.
he's coming our way.
Be cool.
Mr.
Danville.
Can we buy you a drink? You guys from Blaine? Yeah, but how could you tell? Well, to start, You're dressed like used car salesmen, you're at the bar, because you can only afford an appetizer and you're gawking at the swells like they're different species.
Which they are.
Except for me.
I used to work in a sweat shop just like Blaine back in the day.
Cold caling chumps for ten dollar commissions.
So how did you get to where you are? Cajones.
Big brass ones.
You guys got 'em? Yeah, we got going it.
Yeah.
Good.
Cause if you're hungry, maybe I can help you out.
Seriously? I'm putting together a bond offering for a company called Navrax.
You know Navrax? Yeah, of course.
Navrax is awesome.
You're crappy liars.
But you'll get better.
Stick with me, I'll teach you how to sell snow to eskimos.
You'll be millionaires by the end of summer.
Interested? Yeah.
Why would a big shot like Danville wanna associate with nobodies? Maybe he saw himself in those boys.
Maybe he was just slumming.
All I know was, the day he died, we got stuck with 11 thousand dollar tab.
worth more than my car.
- Way more.
- Owner of the Arbitage at the time, he thought Danville was made of money.
Just too busy to get around to paying it.
Me, I would never have let that happen.
- The owner still around? - Sold the place, to me.
And I don't give credit to no one.
Four bucks.
So Mackie's your broker, huh? He told you where to find me? So Danville worked for you for what, six years? Something like that.
Thought he got killed in the car jacking.
Well, we're taking another look at that.
My detectives talked to a woman at the Arbitrage and said the guy was a louse, welched on his debts.
- Sounds about right.
- I thought Danville was a heavy hitter.
Rolling in dough.
For a while.
Then he hit a losing streak.
Every stock he hyped went in the toilet.
That's why we fired him.
Fired? Wasn't he still the employee of the Collins Brothers when he died? On paper, he was.
But he begged us to let him stay unsalaried until he can get another gig going.
So Danville was on the ropes.
Day he died, we had to cover about half a mil of his debts to protect the firm's reputation.
Keep up the appearances.
And keep the authorities off our backs checking records.
Fat lot of good it did us considering I got popped for insider trading.
Well, it could've been worse.
You could've ended up like Danville.
Broke? / Dead.
So Danville's broke but still playing the big shot? Yeah, scrambling to get the Navrax deal off the ground while his reputation's still intact and he still had an office at Collins Brothers.
So this guy's all tabbed out, but he's still got a corporate apartment, tab in the five star restaurant and a Delorean to push around? How do I get this job.
Now, how come the assigned didn't look at the disgruntled investors for this? - Car jacking theory looked solid.
- Collins Brothers covered for Danville.
They erased the paper trail of his debts.
And plus white collar criminal ususally get sued, not shot.
So, maybe the doer isn't your typical investor.
Let's check the SEC records.
See if anyone with a criminal record bought shares with Navrax.
We'll go talk to Danville's old associates.
The Lost boys.
/ Start with the kid that was supposed to get back to Livemore.
Kip.
Kip Krowley? Detective Rush and Valens.
It's about Charles Danville.
Charlie Danville? That was a life time ago.
We've been talking to an old associate of yours, - Randy Price.
- Oh yeah, I read about Randy.
He's in trouble with the SEC, huh? He says Stu Livermore threatened Danville's life.
No kidding.
We know you dealt with Livermore in '85 running interference for Danville.
But you never told the cops about that.
Well, Charlie was killed in a car jacking.
What would Livermore have to do with that? Did you know he pulled a gun on Danville two weeks before his death? No, I didn't.
I just felt bad for the guy.
Did you talk to him? Is he making out? He's collecting used tickets off the floor at the OTB.
That's a shame.
I tried to talk to Charlie about him the night that he died.
To lives of a quiet desperation.
And not leading them.
So, kiddo.
What's so important that can't wait? I went to the headquarters at the Navrax Corporation.
- This about the drycleaner mope? - Livermore.
And he was right.
It's nothing.
Nothing.
It's an old lady answering phones.
So? It's the idea that counts.
Not the the brick and mortar.
Charlie.
I promised Livermore that you would call him.
I personally guaranteed.
.
Don't promise things, kiddo.
Can you help him? Please.
For me.
That's good.
Kip.
Going for the heart like that? I actually have taught you something.
So you will talk to him? / No.
Hey, I'm a heartless bastard, remember? No, you're not.
You are too good to be true.
Kiddo, have a drink.
Lighten up.
That was the last time that I saw him.
I walked to the train and went to my mom's.
Danville sounds like he was telling the truth about being a heartless bastard, huh? Nah, that was just his way.
He was training me to be like him.
Were you upset when he died? Broken up.
Like I said, he was trying to teach me to suceed.
Wasn't his fault I couldn't cut it in his world.
These are records from the SEC.
About 4000 people invested in Navrax back in '85.
Most for a thousand bucks or so.
And only a dozen went in for 25 grand.
Anyone with a record? Yeah, one.
Teddy Mars.
Served 5 years for dealing cocaine in the late '80's.
And another three for manslaughter, broke a guy's neck in Frackville.
How does a ?? like Mars get into business with a highroller like Danville.
If he was selling cocaine to Danville.
Danville was broke.
Maybe there was some bartering going on.
And cocaine for stocks? - And if those investments tanked? - Mars would come collecting.
The old fashioned way.
Check with his parole officer see if he's got a good address.
Teddy Mars.
Wanna talk to you about Charles Danville.
You ain't Vice.
And you don't look like Narcs.
Homicide.
/ You invested 25 grand in the complany Danville was selling called Navrax.
Hold up.
Let me get my lawyer down here.
We can have a real nice pow wow, just the four of us.
While you're on the line, we'll talk to your boys over there.
- What boys? - The ones that are dealing for you? You got me wrong detectives.
I'm an artist now.
Suit yourself, Teddy.
With what they're holding, you're coming with us.
So how'd you get involved with Danville? That ain't a secret.
For a time I supplied all the joints in Market Street.
- Including Arbitrage? - Especially Arbitrage.
Them Brooks Brothers types liked to party.
Teddy.
You should get on this Navrax.
- Make some fortune.
- You wanna taste the merchandise? How much for the whole ounce? Boys deserve a treat.
Ounce is three grand.
You already owe me ten.
You know what, I'm gonna cut you in on this Navrax deal for 25 thousand.
Couple of months, it'll be worth twice that, - maybe three times.
- Yeah, you do that.
After you pay me the 13 grand in cash.
I'll give that think through.
/ Teddy, - this Navrax is like money in the bank.
- You don't got it, do you? I'm offering you 25 grand in bonds for 13.
Give me your Rolex.
Teddy, come on.
Imma take your watch and your worthless paper.
But 24 hours, I want my 13 K in cash.
So did you get your money? Next day.
One of Charlie's boys delivered a briefcase full of green.
You happen to remember who gave you the money? Yeah, the pretty boy.
Beau something.
Look, if you don't believe me, ask him.
He'd tell you.
I got paid.
I didn't kill Charlie.
Cuz I had no reason to.
I may have met a Mr.
Mars back in the '80's.
I couldn't say for sure.
We're Homicide, Beau.
- Not Narcotics.
- Or the SEC.
Well, then.
Hell, yeah, I remember Teddy.
He was our supplier.
Did Danville send you to him with a briefcase full of money? Yeah.
And he was pissed about it too.
We were coining it on Navrax, but Charlie hated to part with the actual cash.
So why did he? Cuz Charlie could take the heat from the blue ?? ladies or ??.
But Teddy Mars was a different story.
So you knew Danville was a swindler? I looked the other way.
You any other investors that might want to see Danville dead? Investors? No.
Then who? After I gave Teddy the cash, I went back to Charlie to return his Rolex.
Our brave boy, back from the trenches.
The guy scared the piss out of me.
Sit down, take a load off.
Help yourself.
Thanks.
I got your watch back.
I want you to keep it.
Token of my appreciation.
Seriously.
You're the one, Beau.
You're the one who's gonna make it big.
I am? / I don't think the others have what it takes.
But you, you know what it takes.
Don't you? That's when I got out.
Danville hit on anyone else you know of? He hit on all of us.
If you wanted to succeed with Charlie, you play by his rules.
And that meant sleeping with him? If you wanted to get ahead, that's what it meant.
Want a deal, Randy, you start talking.
And you tell all.
No more saving for a rainy day.
Livermore didn't kill Danville.
I know what I heard.
You know what we heard? Danville liked boys.
Young ones.
Up-and-comers, like you.
He hit on you, Randy? Cuz he hit on Beau.
Yeah, but Beau didn't kill him.
He's got an alibi.
He was at his girlfriend's the night Danville got dead.
But you, you don't have a alibi, do you? Wait a minute.
You think I killed Danville? That's insane.
So, you like biting the pillow.
You didn't get horizontal to make it to Homicide? Guy's worthless.
This deal's off.
Okay, okay.
Cool your jets.
God.
Did I service Danville to get ahead? Yeah, so what? So maybe you felt humiliated by that.
Decided to gun down the man who made you catch for him.
I did what I had to do.
- Big deal.
- You got anything more on Danville, you wanna say it right now, Randy.
Cuz your deal is going south, fast.
Okay.
All right.
This is the entire truth.
Well, that's big for Randy.
I met Danville earlier than I said before.
How much earlier? Little more than a month before he was killed.
You want a ride? Hey, you're Charles Danville.
That's right.
And you work for Blaine & Sons.
How do you know that? I used to have a crappy umbrella just like that.
Hop in.
This is so cool.
Took me hard days of work to afford it.
Do you think I'm kidding? No.
You know, I used to work for a joint like Blaine.
- Back in the day.
- Seriously? Till I wised up, took some risks.
You a risk taker, uh.
.
? Randy.
Randy Price.
Yeah, I like risk.
Good, Randy.
Then I'm gonna make you a proposition.
I'm gonna create a company at thin air, sell the hell out of it.
Can you do that? I'm Charles Danville.
I can do anything.
Still looking for a couple salesmen.
You know anyone who might be interested? So Danville meeting you, Kip and Beau at the Arbitrage, that was a setup? Yep.
Worked like a charm, too.
And Beau and Kip never knew Navrax was bogus? Beau knew it was a boiler room scam, but he didn't care so long as he making out.
And Kip? Kip was a fool.
Out of his depth.
Believed every word Danville said.
Why'd you keep this from us, Randy? Because it was a crooked deal.
And I'm facing charges of invested fraud.
Okay, you know what, I just remembered something.
And this is good.
Hey, feel that? It's raining again.
Kip Krowley the dummy, he got his mother to invest in Navrax and she lost a bundle.
Oh we've seen the list of investors, there's no Krowley.
No, Danville told me she invested.
He bragged about closing the deal.
Hey, your boyfriend in there was telling the truth.
It's too bad.
Kip's mum did invest in Navrax.
She went by Mavis Breen, not Krowley.
How much'd she drop? That's worth a conversation.
What? You got plans? Kind of.
You got plans? You kidding? I'm married.
I'd take any excuse not to go home.
I wish you boys would've given me some warning.
Would've made myself presentable.
We just wanted to ask you about Navrax, Mrs.
Breen.
Mavis, please.
I'm divorced.
Can you tell us how you came to invest in the company, Mavis? You'd have to ask Kip anout Navrax.
Well, we'd rather talk to you.
Kip isn't in any trouble, is he? Cuz if he is, it's my fault.
And how does that work? Well, when it comes to men, I make terrible choices.
And poor Kip had to suffer through my divorces ?? all four of them.
So, about Navrax, Kip told you to invest? He knew I had some money in the bank from my last settlement.
He just wanted to help me grow it.
Did you ever meet Charles Danville? He took Kip and me to dinner.
You know, to make his pitch.
Chin chin.
What is this? Well, that is called sushi, Ms.
Breen.
Oh, it's Mavis.
Why isn't it cooked? Oh, it's cutting edge.
Raw's the next big thing.
Well, I prefer chicken teriyaki.
Mum.
, Charlie has a great investment opportunity for you.
It's a company called Navrax, Mavis.
High tech.
Japanese are interested in investing, right, Charlie? But I promise you it has nothing to do with sushi.
Charlie's a genious, mum.
He's a senior VP at Collins Brothers.
I've heard of Collins Brothers.
I'm old news.
Kip here is the future.
No thanks to you, huh? I may have helped out a little bit.
Charlie is my mentor, mum.
You flatter me, kiddo.
I certainly appreciate your taking interest in my boy.
But when it comes to investing, I'm all for cautious.
Well, your mum's just my lady, Kip.
It's obviously going to take more than one dinner to get her to see the wisdom of investing.
So, Danville convinced you? Eventually.
I really invested for Kip's sake.
You know, to help advance his career.
Lot of good that did.
You must've been pretty angry losing all that money.
- Furious.
- How about Kip? He was devastated.
He really believed in that Danville.
So in your defense, he took revenge on Danville.
Oh no, my Kip couldn't hurt a fly.
Me, on the other hand, I wanted to string Danville up by his lying neck.
But of course I didn't.
Man was dad before I could buy a rope.
Your friend Price is a real prince.
He's my brother's friend.
And he's always been a low life.
Well, he's saint compared to Danville.
That's the j.
o.
b.
We don't get to pick our victims.
So, you wanna go see another movie tomorrow night? It's first Thursdays, tomorrow.
First what? First Thursday of every month, the homicide detectives get together, - retired and active.
- To do what? Talk.
Drink.
Sounds fun, bring me along.
I don't know, Kite.
You're not in the Hat Squad.
You guys have more weird names for yourselves.
It's usually just cops.
Well, I'm a friend of a cop.
You wanna see the girls? Met your mum, Kip.
You did.
/ Heard how she lost a cool 50 K to Navrax.
Oh boy.
/ You forgot to mention that to us, did ya.
Well, I didn't tell you because I thought it would look like I killed Charlie.
- It does.
- And that's just the half of it.
- What do you mean? - Randy Price, Beau Munger, they say Danville was a sexual predator.
They said that? Come on, Kip.
Quit the act.
You worshipped Danville.
Not only did he use you to get to your mum's money.
.
He hit on you too.
No.
That's not how it went.
You really think I should buy it? Hell yes, I think you should buy it.
Maybe I should save the money that we're making off Navrax.
No, no, kiddo.
There's plenty more where that came from.
- I do love it.
- Then buy it.
You derserve it.
/ Yeah? I'm really proud of you, you know.
You've come a long way.
I don't know.
Hey, kiddo, you stick with me.
You're gonna rule Market Street one day.
Follow right in my footsteps.
Come on, kiddo.
Let's grab the bull by its horns.
Okay.
I gotta tell you something.
The car's not the only thing that I love.
I love you, too.
I love you, too, kiddo.
No, I mean I really love you.
Charlie didn't hit on me.
I hit on him.
Now that must've surprised Danville.
He was surprised.
But then we fell in love.
You buy that Mustang? Yeah.
Charlie and I drove all over town in it.
I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.
So the thought of me killing him is so crazy.
I loved him, I still do.
Yeah, Kip said he took trains to his mum's the night, Danville died.
- Yeah.
- There's a reason.
I ran all the car jackings in June of '85, no mustang is stole in Philly.
But in Montgomery county where Kip's mum lived.
.
- Cherry red mustang? - Junked and stripped.
- Guess where? - Ardmore.
Just like all the other car jackings.
Including Danville's Delorean.
Pretty amazing coincidence.
How'd they miss this in '85? Montgomery County and Philly were like two separate countries, Scotty.
So maybe Kip's playing us using love as a alibi.
Let's bring the math teacher in this time.
See whether he likes our house.
This is wrong.
Why are you doing this to me? - He's excellent.
- Sure you don't teach drama? I'm telling you the truth.
I didn't kill Charlie.
Why do you think that? Well, cuz your precious cherry red Mustang was car jacked a few days before Charlie was killed.
So you knew exactly how to cover up a murder and make it look like a car jacking.
Was it spur of the moment, Kip, or premeditated? I left Charlie at the Arbitrage alive and then I went to the train station jsut like I told you.
I believe you left the bar, Kip.
Then you waited outside for Danville to leave.
Shot him twice and took off in his Delorean.
- No, that's not what happened.
- So what did happen? The night he was killed I, I kept at him.
I confronted him one last time.
Charlie.
We're having a conversation here, Kip.
I'm not leaving till we talk.
What's bothering you now? - If you won't help Livermore.
.
- Get over Livermore.
At least tell me that the you're not gonna scam her too.
Your mum already received a return on her investment.
What do you mean? Ask her.
Charlie, you're really confusing me here.
Is, is my mother gonna get her money back or not? No, Kip.
She's not.
But she's my mother.
And she is not some stranger like Livermore.
I thought that you cared about us, I mean me.
I do, kiddo.
That's why you need to listen to me very closely.
This game ain't for you.
Get out while you're still young.
Go back to the sticks.
Become a librarian.
Something more your speed.
You're kidding, right? I wanted to help you but you're just not catching on.
- Charlie.
- It's over.
- No sale.
- But I love you.
Sorry.
So long, kiddo.
I left there crying like a baby.
Never saw Charlie again.
Says you.
I went to my mum's.
Like I told you.
When it comes to alibis, a mother's pretty close to worthless.
I can't confess to a murder I didn't commit.
Why don't you believe me? What are you doing here? Kip's in custody for murder of Charles Danville, Mavis.
Oh no.
No, that's not right.
Kip did not do anything.
We know about Kip's car getting jacked.
So what? That doesn't prove anything.
So you knew about that, too.
Well, of course I knew.
Mavis, there are ways of tesifying that you could help Kip, reduce his sentence.
He seems like a decent guy jury will respond to that.
Seems? That boy's an angel.
All the same, he killed a man in cold blood.
And left him to die in the road.
That boy is an angel.
And, and Danville was the devil.
I'm sorry, mum.
So sorry.
I don't care about the money.
I loved him.
I know.
Mum, I really, really loved him.
You mean, you and him? Yeah.
God, he used me and spit me out like I'm nothing.
He told me that I was.
.
I wasn't cut out for the business and just go back to the vegetable patch.
It's okay.
It's okay, baby.
It's okay.
Hello, Charlie.
Mavis.
What are you doing here? Called the bar, made sure you were still here and sauced.
What do you want? You.
/ Again? I didn't give you enough of the workout last night? Yeah.
That was a business.
You had to close a deal.
What, are you sore about the money? Forget the money.
I want you.
Look, Mavis, I'm a little tired.
Im an adult, I got no one but myself to blame for sleeping with a cold blooded reptile like you.
But Kip's just a kid.
- He's in his 20's.
- He's a baby.
Look, why don't you just put the gun away.
Okay? We'll talk the whole thing through.
Sleep with a mother and her son? This is low as it gets.
- Kip doesn't have to know.
- He's never gonna know anything.
Just think you got what was coming to ya Kiddo.
