Lady's Man

male announcer: IN NEW YORK CITY'S WAR ON CRIME, THE WORST CRIMINAL OFFENDERS ARE PURSUED BY THE DETECTIVES OF THE MAJOR CASE SQUAD.
THESE ARE THEIR STORIES.
- THE WEATHER SITUATION IS MUCH WORSE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
26 DEATHS ARE BEING BLAMED ON THIS COLD SNAP, AND IT'S EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR AT LEAS ANOTHER THREE DAYS.
STAY WARM IF YOU CAN, AND IF YOU HAVE TO GO OUT, MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE BUNDLED UP.
IT ONLY TAKES FIVE MINUTES OUTSIDE FOR EXPOSED SKIN TO SUFFER - YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ALL OF THIS.
- I'M SORRY, WE'RE OUT OF JIMMY DEAN.
I JUST WANT YOU TO HAVE A GREAT DAY.
[cell phone rings.]
- YEAH.
WHO'S THIS? IT'S 5:00 A.
M.
WHAT DOCTOR? WHERE ARE YOU? OKAY, THANKS.
BOZ, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN MEET YOU.
- WHAT? YOU'RE NOT ROLLING YET? WHAT? AH, JEEZ, HOSPITAL.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
YOU GOT TO GO THERE.
YEAH, JUSTCALL ME.
[phone ringing.]
- HELLO? HELLO? DAMN.
- YEAH, YEAH, CRAIG, MAX HAS GOT A PROBLEM WITH HIS KID, SOIT'S JUST YOU AND ME.
I REALLY HOPE YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE IT.
WIMPS.
HELL WITH THEM.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME.
AGH!! DON'T MEAN TO BE IMMODEST, BUT YOU'RE STANDING BETWEEN ME AND MY CLOTHES.
[gunfire.]
[dramatic music.]
- WHY WOULD I WANT YOUR CLOTHES? - I'M JUST SAYING MAYBE SOMEONE MADE A MISTAKE.
- BLOUSE? - RED SILK.
- SORRY, MAYBE YOU MISPLACED IT.
[phone ringing.]
- I DIDN'T MISPLACE IT.
EAMES.
WHAT? I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
- PEOPLE SAW HIM FROM THE ROAD.
WHEN I GOT DOWN HERE, I RECOGNIZED HIM.
- AND IT'S BURNHAM? - YEAH.
THE GUY I SEE ON TV.
- THAT'S HIM.
- AH, WHAT'S IT BEEN? TEN YEARS? - I WAS THE LEAD DETECTIVE ON HIS FIRST WIFE'S MURDER.
- WHOLE COUNTRY WAS ROOTING FOR THIS GUY'S CONVICTION.
- WE TRIED.
- FROM WIFE KILLER TO TV CELEBRITY.
GO FIGURE.
- LOOKS LIKE IT WAS FROM AN INTERMEDIATE RANGE.
IT'S A GOOD AIM.
- FIRST GUESS, A .
380.
- AND THIS HERE, IT LOOKS LIKE A NEMATOCYSTS.
YOU KNOW, A JELLYFISH STING.
- NO JELLYFISH IN THE EAST RIVER.
- THEY NEVER FOUND HIS WIFE, DID THEY? SOMEONE DID SOME NASTY SURGERY.
- OH, YOU'RE KIDDING.
- I LOVE SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST.
- IT'S LIKE THEY MADE HIM INTO A CHIARISMATIC.
- A WHAT? - IN ANCIENT ROME.
YOUNG BOYS--SLAVES--THEY'D DO A TOTAL REMOVAL OF ALL THEIR GENITALS.
AND THEY CALLED THEM CHIARISMATICS.
- SON OF A BITCH, IT IS HIM.
A.
D.
A.
KEVIN MULROONEY.
SORRY, TWO LANES WERE CLOSED ON THE VERRAZANO.
ALEXANDRA? - YOU'RE BACK IN THE D.
A.
'S OFFICE? - SIX MONTHS.
- I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE CRIME SCENE.
- WHY? ARE WE IGNORING THE POSSIBILITY THAT HE WAS KILLED HERE AND DUMPED IN THE RIVER? - HE WAS STUNG BY A JELLYFISH.
- JELLYFISH AREN' FOUND IN FRESH WATER.
- SO HE WAS SHOT, THEN HE GOT STUNG.
- IF HE WAS STUNG AFTER HIS DEATH, THE IMMUNE SYSTEM JUST WOULD NOT REACT.
THERE'D BE NO RED MARK.
NO, HE WAS DEFINITELY STUNG AND THEN SHOT.
- SO YOU'RE SAYING HE TOOK OFF ALL HIS CLOTHES, GOT IN FREEZING COLD WATER, THEN HE GOT OUT AND SOMEONE SHOT HIM.
I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THAT.
- SO BURNHAM'S MISSING WIFE-- SHE WASN'T A BIG WOMAN.
- ABOUT MY SIZE.
- SO IT WOULD'VE TAKEN SOMEBODY MUCH BIGGER TO MOVE HIS BODY FROM WHEREVER HE WAS SHOT TO HERE.
- PLUS, SHE'S DEAD.
I PROSECUTED THE CASE.
- AND LOST.
- MAYBE IF THE COPS FOUND HER BODY HEY, COME ON.
LET'S ALL GET ON THE SAME PAGE.
THE GUY HAD ENEMIES AND POSSIBLY THIS IS SOMETHING RANDOM.
- YOU SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THE LITTLE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN.
- JEEZ.
- IT HAS THE LOOK OF SOMETHING VERY PERSONAL.
- WHAT, YOU CAME HERE TO GLOAT? - LET THEM TALK, MAX.
- YOU WEREN'T AROUND THEN.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE PUT HIM THROUGH.
- DOES HE HAVE TO BE HERE-- DOES HE HAVE TO BE HERE? - DO YOU HAVE TO BE HERE? - I WORK WITH BOZ, AND MARTHA ASKED ME TO BE HERE.
- WORK? - BOZ HAD A DEAL IN PLACE FOR HIS OWN SHOW.
RE-EXAMINING CASES WHERE PEOPLE ARE UNJUSTLY ACCUSED BY PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
- WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW YOUR HUSBAND, MRS.
BURNHAM? - THIS MORNING, AROUND 5:00.
I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO GO.
I ALWAYS WORRIED WHEN HE DID THIS.
- SORRY, DID WHAT? - EVERY YEAR ON BOZ'S BIRTHDAY, WE'D ALL GO FOR A SWIM AT ATLANTIC BEACH.
- ATLANTIC BEACH.
WERE YOU WITH HIM? - I SHOULD'VE BEEN.
BUT I GOT A CALL SAYING MY SON WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, AND IN THE HOSPITAL.
IT TURNS OU IT WAS SOME STUPID JOKE.
- SO HE WASN'T IN THE HOSPITAL? - IT MUST'VE BEEN SOME BIM MY KID WAS PARTYING WITH.
- A WOMAN? - IF I KNEW WHO SHE WAS, I'D WRING HER NECK.
- WHO ELSE WAS INVITED TO THIS SWIM? - CRAIG O'KEEFE.
[sniffs.]
- IT'S DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN.
- HOW MANY TIMES DID I SAY IT, CRAIG? BOZ BURNHAM IS AN S.
O.
B.
AND UP TO NO GOOD.
- GIVE IT A REST, PAULA.
- LET ME GUESS, YOU WORK FOR BOZ TOO.
- YEAH, KEPT HIS APPOINTMENTS, SCHEDULES, STUFF LIKE THAT.
- YOU WITH HIM FOR THE BIRTHDAY SWIM? - NOT WITH HIM, NO.
I HAD TO SPEND THE NIGH IN JERSEY.
- CRAIG WAS IN SECAUCUS, GETTING OFFICES READY FOR BOZ'S NEW PRODUCTION COMPANY.
- AND THAT TOOK ALL NIGHT? - I GRABBED A FEW HOURS OF SLEEP IN A MOTEL, AND THEN I WEN STRAIGHT TO ATLANTIC BEACH.
BUT I WAS LATE.
NO BOZ, NO MAXIE.
- ATLANTIC BEACH, HOW DID YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND HIM? - MOHAWK AVENUE ENTRANCE.
IT'S THE SAME EVERY YEAR.
- 20 DEGREES WITH THE WIND CHILL.
PEOPLE ARE CRAZY TO DO THIS.
- THIS MUST BE THE CLOTHES.
SOMETHING A THE TIDE-LINE OVER THERE.
THESE TRACKS HERE-- TOO CLOSE TOGETHER TO BE A CAR, RIGHT? - PEOPLE RIDE DUNE BUGGIES OUT HERE.
- YEP.
- THIS TOWEL.
HE USED THIS.
IT WAS WET.
THERE'S BLOOD.
- SO I GUESS HE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE WATER, COME OUT, GRABBED THE TOWEL, STARTED TO DRY HIMSELF OFF AS HE WALKED TOWARDS THE CLOTHES.
- THE KILLER MUST HAVE BEEN RIGHT HERE.
- YEP.
THIS LOOKS LIKE BLOOD.
- SO WHERE IS HIS-- - KILLER MIGHT HAVE TOOK IT.
YOU KNOW? A FETISH.
SEAGULLS ARE ALWAYS HUNGRY.
IT COULD BE ANYWHERE.
- I'M GOING TO CALL CSU.
WE'VE GOT OURSELVES A CRIME SCENE.
- MITCH LEFT HIS CPA OFFICE IN ROCKAWAY AT 7:00 P.
M.
NOW HAVING LIVED IN ROCKAWAY, I'M FAMILIAR WITH EVERY POSSIBLE ROUTE INTO THE CITY.
LEAVING MITCH'S OFFICE AT 7:00, I WAS NEVER ABLE TO GET HERE BEFORE 8:15.
- SO MITCH MULDAUR MAY OWE A BIG THANKS TO YOU, BOZ.
- I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE FALSELY ACCUSED.
AND I'LL HAVE MORE FOR YOU NEXT WEEK.
- YEAH, I DON'T THINK SO.
- WHAT ABOUT BOZ'S CURRENT WIFE? - WELL, HER DOORMAN SAYS SHE NEVER LEFT THE BUILDING.
BUT HIS FRIEND CRAIG O'KEEFE SAYS HE PULLED AN ALL-NIGHTER IN NEW JERSEY.
- AND WE THINK HE MAY BE LYING, POSSIBLY FOR HIS WIFE'S BENEFIT.
WE'LL HAVE HIM BROUGHT IN.
- YOU MIND GIVING US A MINUTE? OKAY, I WANT YOU TO BRING NICHOLS AND WHEELER UP TO SPEED ON THIS CASE.
- CAPTAIN - I AM NOT MAKING IT OFFICIAL.
BUT I WANT YOU TO WITHDRAW.
- I THOUGHT THIS MIGHT-- UM, I DON'T AGREE.
- YOU WORKED THE TRIAL, IT MAKES SENSE YOU'D HAVE PERSONAL FEELINGS.
AN I.
A.
B.
COMPLAIN WAS FILED AGAINST YOU FOR CONFRONTING BURNHAM IN A COURTROOM HALLWAY.
- YES, BOZ BURNHAM WAS JOKING ABOUT HIS MURDERED WIFE IN FRONT OF HER PARENTS.
- IT'S ABOUT PERCEPTION.
- BECAUSE I'M NOT GRIEVING FOR BOZ BURNHAM? ARE YOU? - NO, OF COURSE NOT.
- RIGHT, A MURDER VICTIM'S A MURDER VICTIM.
OUR PERSONAL FEELINGS ABOUT THEM DON'T MATTER.
AT LEAST THAT'S THE WAY I'VE ALWAYS WORKED A CASE.
YOU'VE MADE YOUR POINT.
- THIS IS COMING FROM THE D.
A.
'S OFFICE.
- I'LL TELL THEM YOU'RE THE BEST I'VE GOT.
- I APPRECIATE THAT.
- THE EDGES WHERE THE GENITALIA WERE CUT AWAY ARE ROUGH.
SEE THE TISSUE'S ACTUALLY BEEN SAWED.
- NO QUESTION HE WAS DEAD WHEN THAT HAPPENED.
- DONE IN THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT, AN AFTERTHOUGHT? - YEAH, MY GUT WAS RIGHT, A .
380 LODGED AGAINS THE BACK OF HIS SKULL.
- AND THE ANGLE OF ENTRY? - I WOULD GUESS EYE-LEVEL WITH THE SHOOTER.
VICTIM STANDING, MAYBE APPROACHING.
- IT WAS ALL CAREFULLY PLANNED UNTIL THIS.
WHY THE SUDDEN LOSS OF CONTROL? - MAYBE SEEING HIM DEAD OFFERED SOMETHING VERY FULFILLING.
AN ULTIMATE ACT OF VENGEANCE.
- WE KNOW A LO ABOUT HIS PAST.
MAYBE WE SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT HIS PRESENT.
- WHAT CAN I SAY, THE GUY'S A CHARMER.
LAST CHRISTMAS, HE SHOWED UP WITH TIFFANY BRACELETS FOR ALL THE SECRETARIES.
- AND WHAT WAS BOZ'S SALARY? - 200 LAST YEAR AS A CONSULTANT.
- 200,000? - WHY NOT? ANYTIME HE WAS ON, MY RATINGS WENT THROUGH THE ROOF.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE FOR TUESDAYS AT 10:00.
I'M RUNNING SHORT ON TIME.
- WAS HE PARTICULARLY CLOSE TO ANYONE HERE? - LIKE WOMEN? - YEAH.
- NO QUESTION HE WAS A FLIRT, BUT HE WAS DEVOTED TO MARTHA.
SHE SOMETIMES CAME TO HIS TAPINGS.
- 25 SECONDS.
- COULD BE SHE DIDN'T TRUST HIM.
- LOOK YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE SOME PREJUDICE THAT I JUST DON'T SHARE.
HE TOLD ME THAT LIFE HAD GIVEN HIM A SECOND CHANCE AND HE WOULD NEVER BLOW THAT.
I BELIEVED HIM.
NOW, I--I HAVE TO SIT DOWN.
- TEN SECONDS.
- WERE YOU ALONE WITH HIM WHEN HE TOLD YOU THAT? - I'M NOT GOING TO DIGNIFY THAT WITH A RESPONSE.
- IN FIVE, FOUR, THREE - YOU JUST DID.
- SO NOW IT MAKES SENSE HOW HE GOT THE JOB.
- I MADE THE TRIP TO SEE WHAT SORT OF HEADWAY YOU MADE.
- YOU COULD'VE JUST CALLED.
- OKAY, GUILTY, YOU GOT ME.
I WASN'T OPPOSED TO SPENDING SOME TIME WITH YOU.
- WE WORKED A CASE TOGETHER.
YOU WERE A FRIEND WHEN I NEEDED A FRIEND.
AND I APPRECIATE THAT.
- "APPRECIATE.
" THAT MAKES IT SOUNDS LIKE I LET YOU AHEAD OF ME IN LINE AT STARBUCKS.
- THINGS CHANGED WITH US.
- SHOULD I COME BACK? - NO, NO.
IT'S FINE.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT? - THE CHARTING THE RIVER CURRENTS IT'S LIKELY THAT BOZ WAS DUMPED OFF CITY ISLAND.
- OH.
VACATION CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.
KEEP ME UP TO DATE.
[door closes.]
- IS THERE A PROBLEM? - JOE AND I RENTED A WEEKEND PLACE UP THERE AFTER WE WERE MARRIED.
- MM.
AND HOW WOULD MULROONEY KNOW THAT? - BOZ BURNHAM WAS THE FIRST CASE I WORKED AFTER JOE'S DEATH.
IT'S A TIME IN A PERSON'S LIFE WHEN THEY NEED TO TALK ABOUT THINGS.
- YOU SLEPT WITH HIM? [door opening.]
- THEY'VE BROUGHT IN CRAIG O'KEEFE.
INTERROGATION ONE.
- SO YOU HAVE SEVERAL WOMEN, OR, LIKE, JUST THE ONE? - WHAT? - WE UNDERSTAND YOU HAD TO LIE IN FRONT OF YOUR WIFE.
- I MEAN, WHO WAS SHE? SHE WOULD MAKE A GOOD ALIBI.
- I LOVE MY WIFE.
- RIGHT, AND YOU'D NEVER, YOU KNOW, DO ANYTHING LIKE THIS.
- THE FACT IS, I NEVER GOT LUCKY.
THIS WOMAN, A REDHEAD-- I MET HER THAT NIGHT AT A BAR.
MURRAY'S.
SHE INVITED ME TO PARTY.
WHAT, YOU THINK SHE WAS INVOLVED? - DO YOU? - JEEZ, I DON'T KNOW.
- SO YOU WEN BACK TO HER PLACE - ALL I KNOW IS I WOKE UP IN ROOM 216 AT THE CLINTON HOTEL ON 10TH AVENUE.
I SWEAR TO GOD, I DON'T REMEMBER A DAMN THING AFTER MURRAY'S.
LOOK, CAN WE KEEP THIS QUIET? - WELL, HERE'S AN UPSIDE TO THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN, MOTEL ROOMS GO UNRENTED, BEDS GO UNMADE.
MAYBE THERE'LL ACTUALLY BE SOME EVIDENCE.
- YOU KNOW, MAX SAID THAT A WOMAN CALLED HIM TO TELL HIM ABOUT HIS SON.
- CRAIG'S REDHEAD? - WOULD A REDHEAD WEAR A RED BLOUSE? THAT'S A RHETORICAL QUESTION.
- UH, I'M SORRY, IT'S JUST THAT I HAD-- HAVE THE SAME SHIRT.
- YOU MEAN ONE LIKE IT.
- SAME SIZE, SAME LABEL - SWIZZLE STICK.
LION'S ROCK, SECOND AVENUE-- - I KNOW THAT PLACE.
- I WONDERED WHAT BECAME OF YOU.
- I GOT BUSY AT WORK.
- YEAH, THAT'S WHAT YOUR FRIEND SAID.
- MY FRIEND.
[clears throat.]
- HE STILL COMES IN HERE.
I THINK HE'S IN THE D.
A.
'S OFFICE NOW.
- YEAH.
- WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT A REDHEAD.
POSSIBLY WEARING A RED BLOUSE THE NIGHT BEFORE LAST.
- I WASN'T HERE.
THAT--THAT'D BE DENNY'S NIGHT.
- EAMES.
UH, YEAH.
YOU GOT SOMETHING FOR ME? - SHE'S SOMETHING, HUH? - YEAH.
- I'VE BEEN TRYING TO, YOU KNOW YOU KNOW, HER FRIEND, THE ONE THAT TALKS ABOUT HER, CAN YOU TELL ME ANYTHING? LIKE ANYTHING I-- COME ON, I KNOW.
YOU'RE A BARTENDER, RIGHT? TIGHT LIPS, BIG TIPS, RIGHT? - ALL RIGHT, I'VE BEEN THERE.
LOOK, SHE AND MULROONEY USED TO COME IN AND SIT AT THAT TABLE OVER THERE FOR HOURS.
SHE'D TALK, HE'D LISTEN.
SHE WAS GOING THROUGH SOMETHING.
WHITE WINE, BOURBON ROCKS.
I NEVER FORGET A DRINK.
- SHE LIKES WINE.
- SHE WAS THE BOURBON.
- OH.
- BETWEEN ME AND YOU, I WOULDN'T WORRY.
HE STILL COMES IN BUT HE'S ALWAYS ALONE.
- THANKS.
- YOU GOT IT.
- WE GOT A HIT ON THE ATV RENTAL AT ROCKAWAY.
RENTED BY A WOMAN, A REDHEAD.
- MM-HMM.
- GABRIELLE ROTH.
SHE DIDN'T LEAVE AN ADDRESS, BUT SHE PAID WITH A DEBIT CARD FROM EAST MANHATTAN SAVINGS.
- SO YOU OKAY? - I'M FINE.
YOU FIND OUT EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW? ABOUT ME? - EVERYTHING.
BOURBON, HUH? BOURBON.
- GABRIELLE ROTH'S FILES, SHE OPENED A CHECKING ACCOUNT LAST WEEK, DEPOSITED 3,000 CASH.
- CHECK THE PERSONAL INFORMATION.
[typing.]
- LOOK WHAT SHE PU FOR A HOME ADDRESS.
111-1967 [indistinct.]
FORREST HILLS-- THAT'S YOUR ADDRESS.
- I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF BOZ'S WIFE WAS CHEATING ON HIM.
- JENNY? NO WAY.
- YET, YOU CLAIM TO BE HER BEST FRIEND.
- YEAH, AND AS FAR AS I KNEW, THEIR MARRIAGE WAS OKAY.
- MM-HMM.
DETECTIVE EAMES FOUND A LETTER THAT SHE WROTE IN HER DESK.
DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT? - YEAH, IT SOUNDED LIKE SHE WAS AFRAID OF BOZ.
- WE JUST HAVE A FEW MORE QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
- UM WHAT IS THIS? - WELL, THERE'S THINGS-- CURRENT THINGS THAT STILL CONNEC TO THE BURNHAM CASE.
- SO YOU THINK THERE ARE ANSWERS IN TEN-YEAR-OLD DEPOSITIONS? - PAULA MENTIONS THIS LETTER, YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT.
- YOU KNOW, MAYBE ROSS SHOULD REASSIGN THIS.
- I'M ASKING QUESTIONS.
DO YOU KNOW THAT'S WHAT WE DO, RIGHT? WE ASK QUESTIONS.
- UH THE LETTER SHE'S TALKING ABOUT IS SOMETHING JENNY BURNHAM LEF IN A SEALED ENVELOPE IN HER OFFICE.
IT SAID, "IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME, "BOZ IS RESPONSIBLE.
" I'M THE ONE WHO FOUND IT.
- THEY SHOULD HAVE CONVICTED HIM.
- EXCEPT THE DEFENSE EXPERTS SUCCESSFULLY CHALLENGED THE PROSECUTION EXPERTS OVER JENNY'S HANDWRITING.
- HIS LAWYERS SUGGESTED TO THE JURY THAT YOU PLANTED IT.
- YES, IT WAS VERY EFFECTIVE.
- AND YOU STILL FEEL GUILTY? - YOU KNOW, WHY ARE YOU TAKING THIS TONE WITH ME? YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I FEEL.
I DID NO PLANT THAT LETTER.
- WHEN MULROONEY LEFT THE D.
A.
'S OFFICE WHEN HE LOST THE CASE, HE WAS FIRED? - NO, NOT EXACTLY.
UM, BUT HIS CAREER AS A PROSECUTOR WAS FINISHED.
- SO HE HAD A REASON TO OBSESS? - WELL, THAT'S CRAZY.
MULROONEY MIGHT BE IRRITATING BUT A KILLER? - WE SHOULD AT LEAS FIND OUT IF HE LIKES REDHEADS.
- WHOEVER KILLED BOZ HAD TO KNOW ABOUT HIS BIRTHDAY ROUTINE.
- THAT'S A WIDE NET.
I'LL BET THAT BOZ BRAGGED ABOUT THAT BIRTHDAY SWIM TO ANYONE WHO'D LISTEN.
- OH, I AGREE.
WE'RE ON THE WRONG TRACK.
- SO PROSECUTOR, YOU'VE BEEN IN ALL KINDS OF LAW, FOR, WELL, A WHILE.
- SEVEN YEARS.
- MUST BE TOUGH BEING BACK HERE.
THE AVERAGE AGE HERE IS-- WELL, THEY'RE KIDS REALLY.
28, RIGHT? - I BRING A LITTLE THING CALLED EXPERIENCE.
- IS THIS A LITTLE CLOSET? HE'S GOT A CLOSET, WE DON'T HAVE A CLOSET.
- EVERYONE KEEPS CLOTHES FOR COURT.
- THIS IS IMPRESSIVE.
THE WAY YOU HAVE ALL THE COLORS IN LINE, EVERYTHING IS SO WOW.
LILY DILLON WEST.
SHE WAS A PARALEGAL DURING THE BURNHAM CASE.
- WE STARTED OUT HERE TOGETHER.
- NOW SHE'S HEIR APPARENT TO JACK MCCOY, YOU THINK SHE'LL GET IT? - [nervous chuckle.]
LILY'S PAID HER DUES.
- YOU KNOW, YOU COULD PROBABLY-- I MEAN, IF YOU HADN'T LEFT YOU WOULD PROBABLY.
- DO YOU MIND? YEAH, MULROONEY.
DO YOU MIND? - IN SEVEN YEARS, MULROONEY'S NOT LISTED AS COUNCIL ON ANY COURT DOCUMENTS.
A LAWYER CAN EKE OUT A LIVING DOING TEMP LEGAL RESEARCH, BUT THERE'S A GAP IN HIS LIFE.
- HIS CAREER DIED.
MAYBE HE SAT AT HOME WATCHING BOZ BURNHAM'S CAREER RISE ON TV.
- WHEN HE SHOWED UP AT THE EAST RIVER, HE COMPLAINED ABOUT TRAFFIC ON THE VERRAZANO.
YOU TAKE THE VERRAZANO FROM STATEN ISLAND.
HE USED TO TALK ABOUT HIS DAD, HARRY MULROONEY, WHO LIVED ON STATEN ISLAND.
- MM, WELL, MAYBE HE KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE MISSING YEARS.
- I WORKED LADDER 51.
30 YEARS.
THEY HAD TO DRAG MY BUTT OU OF THERE KICKING AND SCREAMING.
- WOW, FIRE DEPARTMENT, PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE JUST A FAMILY OF PUBLIC SERVICE.
- I DON'T TRUST ANYONE IN A SUIT.
NO DISRESPECT.
- I'M WITH YOU ON THAT.
- ALEXANDRA EAMES.
- THAT'S RIGHT.
- YEAH, I REMEMBER HIM TALKING ABOUT YOU.
HONESTLY, I THOUGH HE MADE YOU UP.
- THAT BAD? - NO, NO.
BUT A WOMAN COP [chuckles.]
I HOPED HE WAS UP TO THE CHALLENGE.
HAVE A SEAT.
WHO WANTS A BEER? - WELL, I'D LOVE TO, BUT - RIGHT.
GALS ALWAYS LIKE KEVIN.
BUT THERE COMES A TIME WHEN YOU GOT TO STOP CHASING SKIRTS.
NO OFFENSE, BUT HIS TYPE WAS ALWAYS [sighs.]
BUT HEY.
NOTHING WRONG WITH A WOMAN WHO CAN HANDLE A FIREARM.
DID HE EVER TELL YOU I HAD HIM OUT AT THE RANGE STARTING WHEN HE WAS SIX? AND HE WAS GOOD.
THEN HE GOES ON THIS BAN GUNS KICK.
MY WIFE ALWAYS TOOK HIS SIDE.
AND SHE COULD BE SCARY.
ADELE, SHE WAS ONE OF THE GOOD ONES.
SHE BROUGHT THIS BACK FROM GALWAY FOR ME.
- NOTHING LIKE THE IRISH COAST.
- UH, STILL HAS PEOPLE THERE.
SHE USED TO VISI ONCE A YEAR.
SO WHAT DID HE DO? - KEVIN? NOTHING.
IT'S JUST A ROUTINE CHECK FOR THE D.
A.
'S OFFICE.
HE PUT YOU DOWN AS A REFERENCE.
- HUH.
- BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE YOU SEE HIM VERY OFTEN.
- NOT THAT MUCH.
HE STOPPED COMING BY ONCE ADELE THE KIND OF CLOSENESS THEY HAD, IT'S DIFFEREN THAN A FATHER AND SON.
- MM-HMM.
- MM.
- YOU DON'T MIND IF I, UH - NO, NO, HELP YOURSELF.
- HELLO.
- HOW YOU DOING? - VERY GOOD.
TWO, PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
- CHEERS.
- THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
- MM-HMM.
- OH, OOPH, OOPH.
LOOK AT THAT.
NICE.
BAH BAH BUM BUM BUM - [chuckles.]
MM-HMM.
SHE'S A LITTLE INTIMIDATING.
DOESN'T THAT INTIMIDATE YOU? - IT'S THE VERSACE.
UNDERNEATH THA THERE'S A SCARED LITTLE GIRL WITH FAKE BREASTS, SKINNY BOTTOM, A NOTHING.
- YOU.
- HM? - YOU.
- MM-HMM? - HAVE BEEN VICTIMIZED.
- [scoffs.]
- YEAH.
- [gasping chuckle.]
IS THIS ABOUT SOMETHING? - WELL, EAMES-- YOU KNOW, THE CASE-- I THINK THA SHE WAS OVERZEALOUS.
- IT'S ANCIENT HISTORY.
- SHE CAME OU OF THE WHOLE THING, YOU KNOW, LIKE, SMELLING LIKE A ROSE.
AND THEN YOU GOT STUCK IN THAT - [sighs.]
- WELL, LIKE A CUBICLE.
- CUBICLE.
- BUT RIGHT, I MEAN YOU MIGH AS WELL BE DOING - [both laughing.]
- YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE IN TRAFFIC COURT.
- [both laughing.]
- [clears throat, sniffs.]
[paper ripping.]
YEP.
WELL I COULD'VE WON.
- YEAH.
- YEP.
SHE EVER TELL YOU HOW SHE BLEW HER CROSS EXAMINATION? - NO, NO.
OF COURSE NOT, NO.
RUTH PETRIE WAS AN EYEWITNESS.
SHE SAW BOZ - MM-HMM.
- LOADING GARBAGE BAGS INTO THE TRUNK OF HIS CAR THE NIGH THAT JENNY DISAPPEARED.
OKAY, RUTH WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED.
SHE--SHE MESSED-- SHE MESSED UP THE DATE, UH, THE MODEL OF THE CAR.
BUT SHE CORRECTED HERSELF.
- MM-HMM.
- ALL THAT EAMES HAD TO DO WAS OVERLOOK RUTH'S PREVIOUS MISTAKES.
- AW, PH-UGH.
I KNOW, I KNOW.
- I GOT TO GO.
- ALL RIGHT, WELLOKAY.
- THANKS FOR THE DRINK.
- YOU KNOW, MULROONEY DOESN'T SIMPLY BLAME BOZ FOR HIS LIFE'S FAILURE.
HE BLAMES YOU FOR LOSING THE TRIAL.
- YOU'RE A HELL OF A DETECTIVE.
- WELL, THAT'S ONLY PART OF IT.
I MEAN, THERE'S EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME.
- WHAT HAVEN'T I TOLD YOU? - I ASKED IF YOU SLEPT WITH HIM AND YOU DIDN'T ANSWER ME.
- I DIDN'T.
UM BUT I WOULD HAVE.
BUT BEFORE ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN, WE WERE HIT WITH A PILE OF MOTIONS, THE TRIAL STARTED AND WHATEVER WE FELT FOR EACH OTHER SOURED.
- WELL, I'M CONCERNED.
- FOR ME? - YEAH.
I THINK HE'S UNSTABLE.
- I NEED HIS WIFE'S LETTER.
- THAT WOULD BE PEOPLE'S 18.
ALL THE BEST STUFF IS IN THESE THREE BOXES.
- CAN I HAVE PEOPLE'S 36? - HERE.
THE SECOND SEARCH OF THE BURNHAM HOUSE.
- HEY.
- HM.
- YOUR OFFICE WOULDN'T GIVE OUT YOUR NUMBER.
IT'S ALL FANCY, AND - I HAVE A MEETING.
- I JUST WANTED TO YOU KNOW COME BY AND, YOU KNOW, KEEP YOU UP-TO-DATE ON THINGS.
- IS THERE SOME URGENCY? HAVE YOU FOUND A REDHEAD YET? - WE HAVEN'T FOUND A REDHEAD, BUT WE HAVE FOUND A RED SHIR AT THE SAME MOTEL THAT SHE BROUGHT CRAIG O'KEEFE.
THIS IS CRAZY.
- MM.
- I'M LOOKING AND THEN YOU KNOW? - HM? - WHAT DO YOU-- YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? - I MEAN IT'S LIKE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE LIVE HERE.
- [laughing.]
YEAH.
BUTIT IS JUST ME.
- I WAS WONDERING IF, YOU KNOW, YOU'D COME BY AND, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT EVIDENCE LOCK-UP WITH ME? I REALLY THINK IT'S TIME THAT THE TWO OF US-- WE PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER ON THIS ONE.
ARE WE LEAVING? - MM-HMM.
YEAH, I CAN STOP BY AFTER WORK.
- YOU PROMISE? - YES, OF COURSE.
OH, DAMN, I JUST REMEMBERED I HAVE TO SEND A FAX.
- MULROONEY'S GOING TO MEET ME AT EVIDENCE LOCK-UP IN ABOUT TWO HOURS.
- WELL, I HOPE YOU'RE NOT SAYING I CAN'T GO.
- NO, I'M-- THINGS ARE GOING TO BE SAID.
YOU KNOW, THINGS REVEALED - THAT WON'T BE PLEASANT FOR ME.
- RIGHT.
- IT'S ABOUT GETTING HIM.
RIGHT? SO WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? - I'M SUPPOSED TO SEE A CASE IN ALL OF THIS? - WELLTHE CASE IS HERE.
IT'S UNFORMED YET.
- WELL, I DON'T GO TO COUR UNTIL THINGS ARE FULLY FORMED.
I LEARNED THAT LESSON.
- WELL, WE CLEARLY DON'T WANT A REPEAT OF THAT.
- MM-HMM.
- IT'S TOO BAD THAT DETECTIVE EAMES DIDN'T FUDGE HER TESTIMONY, RIGHT? - THAT'S NO WHAT I'M SUGGESTING.
- OH, COME ON.
IF I HADN'T FOUND THAT LETTER, YOU'D BE ON THAT YELLOW BRICK ROAD TO BUREAU CHIEF, NOT TAKING ORDERS FROM YOUR FORMER PARALEGAL.
- YOU KNOW, I'M NO REALLY SURE YOU SHOULD BE HERE.
- I THINK SHE NEEDS TO BE HERE.
I THINK SHE'S CARRIED AROUND THIS GUILT OF THAT ACQUITTAL TEN YEARS.
I THINK DETECTIVE EAMES NEEDS TO SEE HOW YOU FORGED JENNIE BURNHAM'S LETTER AND PLANTED I SO SHE COULD FIND IT.
THIS IS A SEARCH WARRANT.
THIS IS THE SECOND REQUEST BY YOU.
"ALL FURNITURE AND FURNISHINGS OWNED BY THE DECEASED.
" INCLUDING THE SLANT-TOP DESK THE LETTER WAS FOUND IN.
- RIDICULOUS.
THE SEARCH IS SPECIFIC BECAUSE I RAN A TIGHT CASE.
- BUT IT'S THE PAPER.
LETTER PAPER.
THIS IS ONLY MADE AND SOLD IN IRELAND.
THISTHIS IS JENNIE BURNHAM'S PAPER.
- [sighs.]
THIS ONE YOUR MOTHER BROUGHT BACK WITH HER ON ONE OF HER ANNUAL VISITS TO IRELAND.
- ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH BURNHAM'S MURDER.
YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A WOMAN.
WITHOUT HER, THERE'S NO CASE.
- WE HAVE A WOMAN.
I JUST WANT A THIS SHOT, RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES.
VERY CALCULATED, DELIBERATE.
A MARKSMAN.
AND THIS, TOTAL EMASCULATION.
UNPLANNED.
CRUDELY DONE WITH THIS.
NOW IT'S TWO CRIMES.
ONE IS METICULOUSLY THOUGHT OUT.
THE OTHER-- HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF CARL JUNG? - JUST SHOW ME A CASE.
IF I WANT EXPER PSYCHIATRIC TESTIMONY, I'LL GET A SHRINK.
- CARL JUNG BELIEVED THAT RAGE IS THE, UM FEMALE SIDE OF OUR NATURE.
ANIMA.
AN AGGREGATE OF ALL THE FEMALES IN OUR LIVES.
IT GIVES US STRENGTH.
IT MAKES US STRONGER.
- UH-HUH, GOOD, YEAH.
I DON'T REALLY CARE WHAT JUNG BELIEVED.
- DO YOU REMEMBER THE GIRL AT THE BAR? REMEMBER YOU SAID SHE WAS SKINNY AND SHE HAD FAKE BREASTS? REMEMBER THAT? YOU SAID BU SHE WAS WEARING VERSACE AND THAT MADE HER CONFIDENT.
RIGHT? I THINK THAT HE KNOWS HOW THAT FEELS.
I THINK YOU KNOW HOW THAT FEELS.
- YOU'RE DESPERATE.
- I THINK THAT YOU WANT EAMES TO FEEL THE SAME FAILURE THAT'S BEEN HAUNTING YOU FOR YEARS, AND THAT'S WHY YOU LEFT CLUES.
RED BLOUSE, THE SWIZZLE STICK FROM THE BAR.
THAT'S WHY YOU DUMPED BOZ'S BODY AT CITY ISLAND, TO BRING IT BACK TO DETECTIVE EAMES.
- YOU WANTED ME TO KNOW IT WAS YOU, AND TO THINK THERE WASN' A DAMN THING I COULD DO TO PROVE IT.
- UNTIL OUR SEARCH TEAM CALLS AND TELLS US THAT THEY FOUND A RED WIG.
I WONDER WHAT ELSE THEY'RE GOING TO FIND.
- [sighs.]
WITHOUT PROBABLE CAUSE, THAT SEARCH IS INVALID.
- PROBABLE CAUSE? YOU BOUGH THESE CLOTHES FOR HER.
SIZE 12 OR, WHAT WAS IT, MAYBE 14? SHE'S A BIG GIRL, CONFIDEN GIRL, STRUTS HER STUFF.
VERY MUCH LIKE YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW.
- OKAY, RIGHT.
I'M OUT OF HERE.
- ARE YOU AFRAID? IS SHE AFRAID? WHAT WOULD YOU GUYS BE AFRAID OF? WHAT WOULD THE TWO OF YOU BE AFRAID OF? WHAT'S THE MATTER, THE UNDERGARMENTS PRESSING AGAINST YOUR SKIN DON'T MAKE YOU FEEL PROTECTED? I THINK YOU SCREWED UP, KEV.
A LITTLE TOO MUCH ROUGE.
YOU KNOW, SCENT.
- THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN HAVING YOUR MAKEUP NOT RIGHT.
I BET YOU CAN'T WAI TO LOOK IN A MIRROR.
- ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
[sniffs.]
ALL RIGHT.
