All language subtitles for NYPD Blue (1993) - S11E21 - Whats Your Poison (1080p HULU WEB-DL x265 LION)_track3_[eng]

Previously on "Nypd blue"...

Did you see your dad beat up
Your mom that night?

Was that the last
You saw of her?

I came home and he was putting
Her in that shopping cart.

He saw his dad kill his mom.

He'll do what he has
To testimony‐wise.

Joe brockhurst, my first partner
When I made detective.

The other guy who screwed up
The peeler case.

All right, thanks.
Sam's dna don't match.

What?

This case
Is a nightmare.

John and I are meant to be
Together. We both know it.

I don't know if this
Is any of my business.

Leave him alone.
He's taken.

There's plenty of other guys
Out there for you.

I'm sorry that you had
To deal with that.

I'll make sure
It doesn't happen again.

Looking in her eyes,
She wasn't all there.

She's bipolar.

The last time I saw her,
Like a month ago,

She was on her meds
And doing okay.

I think maybe
She's gone off.

I don't think I'm going to be
Able to practice medicine again.

If I don't have that and I don't
Have you, I don't have anything.

You need to get healthy again.
That's all that matters.

Will you go with me?
Yes.

Where you been?

Jen walked out
Of the psych e. R. Last night.

She's not at home,
She's not answering her cell.

I actually went out on
The street, looking for her.

Morning.
Morning.

Got a guy coming in
On that clifton case.

If you want to keep looking
For devlin, I'll cover it.

Who's the guy?

Name's david lewis.
Taught at her school.

He wrote an odd note
In her yearbook.

"To my special,
Special pal"?

Talked to cindy's friend
Angela malcolm.

She said that lewis was
A real touchy‐feely type.

Were him and cindy close?
She couldn't say.

It ain't much, but...

John, hit the street.

I don't know
Where to start.

Dave lewis for,
Uh, detective sipowicz.

Yeah, I'm sipowicz.

Thanks for coming in.
Here, this way.

Get me
If dr. Devlin calls.

Oh, yeah, here.

I've been trying
To quit smoking.

Have a seat.

So, cindy clifton.

Been following
The case lately?

I read about the man
Who was released from jail.

Tragic.

And because of that,
It's an open homicide again,

So we're talking to people
Cindy knew.

How can I help?

What was your relationship,
You and cindy?

She was a student
At the donner school.

I taught french
And spanish there.

I don't think she was in
Any of my classes, though.

Then what made you call her
Your "Special, special pal"

In her yearbook?

That's why I'm here‐‐
The yearbook note?

Yeah, what made her
So special?

Honestly, I wrote that to all
The kids in my rap group.

Not like music rap‐‐
Rap sessions

Where kids would come
And talk about their issues.

This was a school thing
Or outside?

After school,
But sanctioned.

Once a week,
Kids get together

And lay out the stuff
That's troubling them.

Personal stuff?
Sure.

By any chance, have you come
Across a guy named sam jeffers?

Why do you ask?

He was cindy's
Half‐brother,

But the family never
Recognized that.

Odd situation.

Did cindy talk about him
In these sessions?

She told me once privately
He'd done inappropriate things.

I took that to mean sex.

Did you tell her parents?

Honestly, I didn't
Have the time to.

She was killed
Three days later.

And the man that they said
Did it was caught so fast,

I didn't see the point
In upsetting her family.

You should talk
To sam jeffers.

Yeah, we have.
He was ruled out.

Oh?

Okay.

So, it sounds like you
And cindy were close.

Not really.

Being molested is a heavy thing
To tell a passing acquaintance.

I try to be a safe zone
For all the kids.

If they talk about smoking pot
Or feeling alienated,

I don't freak out
Like their parents,

So they open up, like
Cindy did about sam jeffers.

She was really upset
About him.

He sounded
Like a weird guy.

But like we said,
He didn't kill her.

You still teach
At the donner school?

No, I'm at tomlinson frenz
Now‐‐ better money.

I have a class in
20 minutes, so are we...

All done.
Thanks for your time.

No problem.

He was real eager
To give us sam jeffers.

Well, he's been thinking
About it for a while.

I'm going to get this guy's gum
Over to the lab.

I want his dna.

You going to look for devlin,
Or you coming with me?

Coming with you.

I know your school doesn't want
Any bad publicity, but, ma'am,

Do you understand this
Is a homicide investigation?

[ sighs ]
All right, thanks anyway.

Robbery‐mugging, ladies.
Baxter and broome.

Got it, boss.

This is that
Dave lewis?

Guy's worked at 10 schools
The last 18 years.

Administrators either say that
He moved on of his own accord

Or his teaching style
Doesn't mesh.

Nothing negative
About the guy.

Like they just don't
Want to talk about him.

Sounds like they're
Covering their ass.

Hey, boss, I'm heading out.
Michael's testifying today.

Tell him
We're all behind him.

I will.

Andy, bad time?

Hey, joe.
No, come on in.

Sex offenders who lived
Near cindy clifton.

Robert darnell
And a lester mooney.

Darnell's dead 10 years,
Mooney left the state,

But, uh, they both got collared
For sex with kids.

Darnell's more
The candidate.

He did a bit for raping
A 16‐year‐old girl.

Mooney's mostly into, uh,
Males, it sounds like.

What is it, medavoy?

Uh, principal at
The stender school.

Might be something.

I'll get out
Of your hair.

We're looking into an old
Teacher of cindy clifton's.

There were a pair of complaints
Against lewis

When he worked
At the school‐‐

Parents feeling that he was
Too close with their kids.

Principal wouldn't elaborate,
But he did give me

The name of one of
The parents‐‐ davis white.

I'll get him in.

So, you're liking this guy,
Dave lewis?

Starting to.

Mind keeping me up to speed,
If it's no trouble?

Anything pops,
We'll grab you.

I'll be around
The station house.

The desk sergeant, mcginty,

Him and me were at the academy
40 years ago.

I thought I'd catch up.

I forgot how much
It gets the blood pumping,

Being back
In the middle of it.

What do you got?
He refused medical aid.

He got robbed and took
A smack to the head.

What's your name, sir?
Ned applebaum.

Did you see
Who robbed you, ned?

Fella in a jogging suit,
Black mustache, oily hair.

He had chains around his neck‐‐
Gold chains.

Put a description
Over the air.

Might get the whole
Neighborhood brought in.

Did you locate
Any witnesses?
Couldn't find anyone.

It's like nobody noticed!
They just walked past me!

What got taken from you,
Mr. Applebaum?

Well, my wallet, my cash.

Oh, geez...A necklace.

A very special necklace.

Special because?
It's my wife's.

It was her grandmother's.
It's worth $35,000.

What were you doing
With it out here?

I don't know‐‐ I didn't want
To leave it at the hotel.

Where are you
In town from?

Centerville.

Indiana.
Just here for the weekend.

Where's your wife?

Having a spa morning
Or something,

So I went for a walk.

I didn't want to leave it
At the hotel.

She's gonna kill me.

But you're sure
About the guy you saw

With the track suit
And gold chains?

That sounds like a description
Out of central casting.

Well, that's who did it.

Could you recognize him
If you saw him again?

Yeah. I think so.

Then track suit and gold chains,
That's what we go with.

She's going to kill me,
You understand?

Let's get you down
To the station house

To look at some
Mug books.

Maybe we can
Clear this up quick.

Lord, I hope so.

My dad pushed me
In my room and hit me.

He told me to stay there.

Then I heard him
Beating my mom.

That went on
Till it got real quiet.

After it was quiet a while,
I opened the door to my room.

I couldn't hear anybody in
The apartment, so I walked out.

And I heard something
Going on in the hall.

Did you look out
Into the hall?

I looked and saw my dad put
My mom in a shopping cart.

Was your mom
Moving at all?

She was dead.
Then he wheeled her off.

Did you see your dad
Again that night?

I didn't see him
Till the next day.

Nothing further.

Morning, michael.

I'm going to ask you a few
Questions about your dad, okay?

Has your dad always been
A part of your life?

He spent
Seven years in jail.

Would you call him
A good provider?

Nope.

Your mom took care of you,
Didn't she, all by herself?

Yes.

Your dad ever hit you?

Sometimes.

Did that make you
Angry with him?

I guess.

He ever hit your mom?
Yes.

You didn't like that either,
Right?
No.

So it's fair to say you've been
Angry with your dad a lot?

I guess.

Michael, before this case,
Were you ever in a situation

Where you were questioned
By the police?

Could you
Repeat the question?

Before this terrible thing
Happened to your mom,

Were you ever involved
In a situation

Where you had
To talk to the police

About a criminal incident?

No.

I mean...
I don't remember.

You don't remember when a friend
Of yours, shawn farmer,

Broke the jaw
Of another schoolmate

And you were questioned
By the police about it?

[ sighs ]

Yeah, okay.

Do you remember
If shawn farmer

Admitted to the assault
Right away,

Or did he say he was
With you at a movie?

He said he was with me.

And what did you say
When the police asked you

Whether or not shawn farmer
Had been with you at a movie?

You told the police
Your friend shawn farmer

Was with you at a movie

On the afternoon
The assault was committed.

And that wasn't true,
Was it?

Shawn was my friend.

So you lied because
You cared about him.

Yeah.

And you sure cared
About your mom, right?

Yeah.
You loved her.

You're angry with your dad,
You love your mom,

And you have lied
To the police before.

Have I got that
All correct?

Objection to the form
Of the question.

Withdrawn.

Michael, is today your chance
To get back at your dad

For everything he did
To you and your mom?

No.
I'm telling the truth.

I'm sure you've given us
No reason to think you're not.

Nothing further.

Redirect, your honor.

Michael,
What did I tell you

About the importance of being
Honest when you testified today?

You said to just
Tell the truth.

Is that what you've done‐‐ told
The complete and total truth?

Yes.

And that's been hard
For you to do, right?

Yes.

Because you love your dad,
Too, right?

Yes.

Thank you.

Nothing further.

Thanks for coming in,
Mr. White.

We got some questions
Regarding a complaint you made

About a teacher at the stender
School, a david lewis.

That was
A few years back.

What brought this up now?

It's part
Of an investigation.

We understand that you felt
Mr. Lewis was, uh...

Too close with
Your daughter.

Yeah, that's right.

What's that mean?

Is victoria going to have to
Come in and talk to you,

Because I really don't
Want that to happen.

She's dealt with enough.

Dealt with enough
With mr. Lewis?

She's not testifying
To anything‐‐ not now.

What did david lewis do
To your daughter? Start there.

He offered her
A ride home.

She knew him pretty well from
An after‐school program he ran,

So she took the ride

And he wouldn't let her out
Of the car for three hours.

Did he assault her?

She says they just
Drove around

While he tried to convince her
To have sex with him.

She refused over and over again
Till he gave up and let her go.

Is that what you
Told the school?

And my lawyer.

He said we should consider
The pressure on victoria

By putting her through
A nearly unwinnable trial,

So she left the school.

She's been having nightmares
Ever since.

Did lewis do this
To someone else?

Mr. White, we're investigating
David lewis

For the homicide
Of a young girl 18 years ago.

And something
We're running into

At the schools that he's worked
At and parents like yourself

Is that folks have moved on
From the things

That david lewis
Has done to them

That might work
To put him in jail.

I looked into it‐‐ my lawyer
Said he couldn't make a case.

But are you convinced
That all david lewis

Did with your daughter
Was talk about having sex?

I don't think I can have
This conversation anymore.

If we know that he did
Something more

Than talk with your daughter,
It'll go far

Towards convincing us that he's
The right guy for this murder.

Victoria said all they did
Was talk about sex.

But what
Does your gut say?

That you've got
The right guy.

I will not put my daughter
Through a trial.

No way.

Leave her alone.

Appreciate you coming down,
Mrs. Applebaum.

There's me
Wearing the necklace

At my father's
70th birthday.

We'll get this
To local pawnshops,

So if anyone comes in
Trying to sell the necklace,

We'll get notified
Right away.

Good.

So, how are things
Progressing?

Uh, well, we're going
To set your husband up

With some mug books, see if he
Can identify the perpetrator.

He said an italian‐looking fella
Stole the necklace from him?

That's right.

Did anyone else
See this italian fella?

No.

It's my first time in the city,
So I'm wondering‐‐

Do things like this normally
Happen in broad daylight?

It wouldn't be
The first time,

But, uh, still,
It is on the rare side.

Is something bothering you,
Jessica?

No, no.

You're asking
A lot of questions.

It's just very unfortunate

That this would happen
Now on this trip.

Well, not that you'd
Ever want it to happen,

But why this trip
Specifically?

It was supposed to be
A reconnecting weekend for us.

You've been having
Trouble at home?

For a little while, I thought
There was someone else.

Ned wasn't acting
Like himself,

And he suddenly
Spent a lot of money.

I couldn't really prove anything
And he wouldn't admit it,

But then he suggests
This weekend to new york

To find ourselves again,
And now this happens...

With a necklace
I didn't even bring.

It's your necklace,
But he brought it secretly?

Can you believe that?

I mean,
What was he thinking?

I guess we're going
To find out.

'cause I won't stand
To be made a fool.

I'm not a fool.

Did I just say too much?

We'll talk to your husband.

If he's honest,
Maybe we can keep this

From getting too serious.

I appreciate it.

I just want to go home.

We'll be in touch.

Moved around a lot of schools
The last 18 years, haven't you?

I could've told you that
Over the phone.

Why so many schools?
I get bored easy.

Or is it more
You get caught

Being inappropriate
With students?

Excuse me?
One more time.

Remember victoria white?

From the stender school.

What does she have
To do with anything?

Why don't you tell us about
The ride you gave her.

Oh...

Okay.

The three‐hour ride?

Is that what
Someone told you?

Her father.

Three hours
Which I could account

For being somewhere else.

Three hours that she spent
With her boyfriend

After I dropped her off and
Didn't want to tell her father.

Did you ever give
Cindy clifton a ride home?

Oh, come on.

That's where this
Is going?

No. I never did.

You never drove her around,
Asking her to have sex with you

Like she was doing with her
Half‐brother, sam jeffers,

Who you were so eager
To have us talk to?

I didn't know they were
Having sex. I just assumed it.

And "No"
To all the rest.

Then how does your dna wind up
On cindy clifton's dead body?

Your dna matches sperm
Found on and inside

Cindy clifton
18 years ago.

My dna? Which just
Appeared to you?

The piece of gum that you left
In our trash can this morning.

Take your time.

Okay.

Okay.

I never hurt her.

Molesting her,
That doesn't count?

It was an indiscretion.

She was physically precocious,
And she seduced me.

She did tell me
That she was having sex

With her half‐brother,
And she liked it.

She wanted more.

I should've stopped her,
But she just came on so strong.

Oh, boy.

Talk about
The day she died.

That's the day
I'm talking about.

It happened that afternoon,
In my car.

Then she left, and later,
I heard she'd been killed.

That's a lie!

I swear. I swear
I never hurt her.

You killed cindy clifton,
And you're gonna admit it!

No. You'll never
Hear me say that.

We're just getting started
On you, dave, believe me.

I have nothing more
To say‐‐ nothing.

I think it might be time
For me to talk to a lawyer.

Yeah, and you can
Think about it in here.

We got enough for now.

We'll see you
In a bit, dave.

What are the chances of finding
A witness to the homicide?

Slim.

Or even someone who saw
Dave lewis and cindy clifton

Together close to the time
Of the murder?

He copped
To the sexual assault.

My office is still reeling

From the wrongful imprisonment
Of leonard peeler,

And I've been told explicitly‐‐
No weak, knee‐jerk arrests

That could make us look like
We're trying to save face.

Is lewis at least a collar
For the sex with a minor?

The statute of limitations

Is five years from
The time of the incident.

Even in these circumstances
With the murdered girl?

It's time‐barred. It can't be
Used against him in court.

And without independent evidence
Tying him to the murder,

There's no case.

I don't doubt dave lewis
Killed cindy clifton,

But my office won't proceed
Until it's airtight.

We'll call you
When it is.

Stay in town
And stay available.

I can go?

When we come looking for you,
We better be able to find you.

And you're done working at that
School or any other school.

You're done teaching.
So now it's a witch hunt.

If I hear you're around kids,
I'll come after you personally.

Stay in your apartment.
Call in for groceries.

Sit and wait till we come
To lock you up.

I think I'll just go about
Living my life.

You don't want
To mouth off, dave.

That'll get my fist
In your stomach,

Because I know
You're the guy.

Whether or not
I'm the guy,

You're investigating
A crime from 18 years ago.

You have no witness,
No evidence.

Got your dna.

Which proves
The indiscretion,

And the statute of limitations
On that ran out years ago,

Which I'm sure
You were just told.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be
Going home now.

Walk out of here, or you're
Gonna get that slug in your gut.

And I'll sue you
And the department.

And I'll teach again,
Detective.

Not in new york.

You ever hear of libel,
Defamation of character?

Back off,
Or I'll sue your ass!

You can sue whoever you want,
But you leave now,

Or you're going to get
One hell of a beating.

[ scoffs ]

[ telephone rings ]

15th squad.

Detective clark,
Dr. Devlin.

[ sighs ]

Jen, where are you?

Jen, it's me!

Jen?

Jen?

I'm here, john.

Jen?

Jen, what did you do?

I'm dying.

How many of these
Did you take?

All of them.

Don't.

Sit up.
Just lay down next to me.

15th squad to central "K."

Put a rush
On an ambulance

To 1422 west 58th street,
Apartment 2b.

No ambulance.
Just hold me.

No, come on, jen.

Just hold me
While I die.

You're not gonna die,
Jen.

I want to.
Hold my hand.

Jen, come on.
You're gonna be okay.

Just walk.
Jen, walk!

I love you, john.

Just keep walking.
Walk, jen!

Come on!

There you go.
Come on, keep walking.

Walk, baby.

She was too far along
To wash her stomach out,

So we gave her
Activated charcoal,

And it looks like she's
Going to need dialysis.

Charcoal?
W‐what's that do?

It absorbs the seconal
And vodka,

And the dialysis
Cleans out her blood.

Was she...Too far along?

Does she have enough in her
System to, you know, check out?

It's good you got to her
When you did.

[ cellular phone rings ]

So, what now‐‐
A 72‐hour hold?

She definitely qualifies.

I've got signatures
From two doctors,

So if there's another escape‐‐
Which there won't be‐‐

She's a fugitive.

A situation like this,
Patients do better with support.

Does she have any family
Or friends you can contact?

No, there's no family
In town.

I don't think she has any
Friends, but I'll look into it.

Uh, well, it's going to be
Another hour for dialysis.

I can call you
When she's done.

All right, thanks.

I can't see her
For a while.

You all right?

I'm seeing my dad
All over again.

It's like another train wreck
I can't stop.

John, this girl's sick.

If she don't take her
Medication, that's not on you.

That's a cold comfort.

You want me to stick around here
With you? Because I will.

No. Who called?

Gibson. It's official
From the lab‐‐

Lewis' dna was
Definitely confirmed to match

What we got
Off cindy clifton.

I was gonna call gerald clifton,
See does he remember lewis.

I can take it alone.

No. Let's go.

[ door opens ]

Thanks, hank.

No problem.

Uh, yeah, I‐‐
No one so far.

I've got a question
For you, ned.

Was there anything
Besides vacation

That brought you
To new york?

No.

Because we understand
You've been acting odd lately

And spending money
You don't have.

I'd like to know
Where this comes from.

Your wife, who thinks
You're screwing around

And didn't know you brought
The necklace to new york or why.

I was going to...
Take her to the rainbow room

For a surprise...
And surprise her with it.

She just keeps it
Sitting in a safe at home.

She told you she thinks
I'm screwing around?

Do you want to go to jail
For insurance fraud,

Or would you rather come clean
And maybe see this all go away?

Oh, boy.

Boy, oh, boy.

Now, I was legitimately
Robbed on the street.

By a clich㉠who no one saw
In the middle of the morning?

I'm sorry,
But that's what happened!

The fact is...

I am sort of...
Having a relationship.

Which is a coincidence
To you getting robbed?

That what you're saying?

I was in little italy to give
The necklace to my lady friend.

But just temporarily
Till she could secure a loan.

But you got robbed

At the appointed time
And place of this meeting?

Yes.

Have you talked to your
Lady friend about this?

I've never actually
Spoken to her.

Is this an internet
Lady friend?

Yes.

What's her name?
Pauline.

She lives in brooklyn
With her three kids.

The boy was diagnosed
With leukemia.

She spent all of her savings
On treatment.

They're threatening
To cut off her water!

This pauline who you've been
Spending money on?

I sent her gifts
Through the mail.

To where?

A p. O. Box.

Jessica and I have been married
For 15 years.

I've never done
Anything like this.

That's enough.
The p. O. Box.

I mean, before,
When I said I was a dead man,

Now when jess hears this...

I'm really a dead man.

[ sniffles ]

I got your message.

Thanks for coming in.

Why don't you
Have a seat.

How you holding up?

You said you had news.

This guy who used to teach at
The donner school, david lewis,

He admitted that he sexually
Assaulted your daughter

The day she was killed,

And his dna matches
What we found on cindy.

This man's in custody?

He's not, yet, because even
Though he admits to the sex,

The statute of limitations
Has run out.

We're still working
On tying him to the murder.

But what are the chances that
A man who sexually assaults

A girl who's killed that
Same day is not involved?

None‐‐ there's no chance.
He's our guy.

But evidence‐wise, we're
Just not on solid enough ground

For the d. A. To proceed,

So we're hoping to find
Something new

To use against him.

[ sighs ] I don't know
How I can help you.

Have you heard the name
David lewis before now?

No.

Did cindy ever mention
An after‐school program?

She played soccer.
That's all I remember.

This probably would've been
Referred to

As a teacher/student
Counseling.

I don't recall that.

Think your wife might?
I doubt it.

If you could ask‐‐

I can't ask her.

She can't handle
Any more of this.

I understand this has been a
Very difficult couple of weeks.

It's nearly torn
The family apart.

It's nearly driven us insane
From the anguish and the guilt.

We're doing what we can
To rebuild.

Sam's part
Of the family now.

Trying to make up
For some of the wrong

That's been done to him.

We were having
Lunch together.

That's what you
Took me away from.

I just want this guy
In jail.

So do I.

But I have to weigh that

Against the damage
It would cause my family

To engage in another
Fishing expedition.

All right.

We have to get on
With our lives.

We have to heal.

We'll just
Keep working it.

You're not
The delivery guy.

Can we talk to you
A minute?

Why?

Do you know a ned applebaum,
Mr. Knapp?

Never heard of him.

Then this
Shouldn't take long.

It's a real mess
In there.

We can handle it.
Let's go inside.

You work in computers?

Day trader.
Successful day trader.

So, yeah, I don't know
Your guy applebee.

Applebaum.

You haven't been conducting
A relationship with him online

Under the name pauline?

[ laughs ] No.

You haven't been receiving gifts
From him at a p. O. Box?

Where you getting
This from, hon?

A p. O. Box registered
In your name,

And you're going to want to lose
The shocked bit right about now.

[ sighs ] Okay.

Yes, I have a p. O. Box.
I get my mail there.

Is it possible the guys
Running the p. O. Box place

Are ripping someone off,
Using my name?

It's a question for them.

What's this?

It's my chill gear.

It's the outfit you used
To rip off ned applebaum.

All we want
Is the necklace back.

That happens, you may find us
Very cool about this.

Or use the "Wasn't me"
Defense again,

And you're going to wind up
In jail within two hours.

I sold it to a guy.
I can get it back.

Explain yourself.

I went online.

I put it out there I was
A lonely, single mom,

And this hayseed responded.

You've been hitting him up
For gifts?

Little stuff
Here and there.

He's 20 grand
In the hole.

I like nice things.

Then I got into a fix

On a rockets/lakers,
Suns/kings parlay,

So I went for the gusto.

The necklace.

I wasn't specific,
But I laid out a big number.

He said he wanted to meet me
And deliver it in person.

So you dressed up as a goomba
And took him off.

He said he was insured.
Come on, anybody that stupid?

I mean, don't they
Sort of deserve a lesson?

The name of who's got
The necklace.

Then I can get back
To work?

I want to catch the nikkei
Before closing bell.

Turn around, idiot.

You are going
In the system.

You said you'd be cool.

We lied, pauline.
Let's go.

[ sighs ]

Only 15 residents
In the buildings

Near where cindy clifton's body
Was found

Have been there
For more than 18 years.

Any of them
Remember the case?

Four of them, but none
Of them were any help.

Thanks, medavoy.

We could always call the child
Molester joe brockhurst dug up.

We know he lived
In the area.

He's a waste of time.
I know.

So, how'd it go?

Uh, we broke for the day.

How was michael?

He was good, he was good.
He was okay.

Defense got in some shots
Off an assault case

At michael's school
Where he lied for a friend.

Did you know
About this?

No, and michael said he never
Even thought to bring it up.

It is kind of a reach.

Yeah, well,
It didn't go over that way.

Maybe I'm overreacting 'cause
Michael kept looking at me

For help and I couldn't
Give it to him.

It's not overreacting.
It's being a good parent.

Yeah, I guess.

I'm going to be
Back at it tomorrow.

Sergeant downstairs
Just called.

Dave lewis is d.O.A.
At his apartment.

She found him?

Heard moving around,

Which normally there isn't
During the day.

So she checked the door.
It was open.

You heard people
In here earlier?

I just heard noise.

You hear a scuffle?

J‐j‐just moving around.

More than one person
Or just him?

I just heard moving around.

He's normally at school
During the day,

So I checked the door.

You see anyone
Come or go?
No.

He ever have company?

Not that I've seen.

You know him to use drugs?

No, but who can tell?

Thanks.

Doesn't look like there's
Any other tracks on him,

But no signs of struggle,
Either.

And the apartment's
Totally intact.

What was he like
When you kicked him?

Cocky.

So he picks today
To try heroin?

Maybe he's been smoking
Or snorting,

And he decided to shoot up.

[ sighs ]

All right,
It's a suicide for now

And it stays that way
Until something proves it's not.

Could use a cleaning,
But it's intact.

Your husband may be needed
Down the line

For testimony and so forth,
But he's free to go.

So, this whole weekend was about
Him giving my necklace

To his girlfriend
That turned out to be a man?

He said he was just loaning
It out for collateral.

You buy that?

He was fed a lot of lies
By this phony pauline.

He seemed to honestly
Believe them.

Or he's playing ignorant

To keep from getting thrown
Out of the house.

Has he got
A reputation for that?

[ sighs ] No.

If I was his wife, I probably
Wouldn't believe him, either,

But from the way he's been
Acting, it could be true.

How's he been acting?

Contrite, honest, shamed.

He was actually
Free to go hours ago,

But he was scared
To face you.

As he damn well
Should be.

Jessica, there are two kinds
Of folks we deal with a lot.

The first are bad people
Doing bad things,

Who we lock up
And wash our hands of.

The second are good people
Who do stupid things.

In those cases, we try
To help out as best we can

To avoid further damage.

Your husband falls into
The second category.

You think he was
Just being stupid?

Might be worth
A conversation.

Or not,
And we'll get him a cab.

Well...

I did just start
A mail‐order catalog business

A few months ago,

And maybe he hasn't been getting
The attention he's used to.

Still, that's no excuse.

You want to talk to him?

He's‐‐ he's right down
The hall.

Maybe just to get
An explanation.

We'll see how that goes
And take it from there.

Fair enough.

It's all right.

It's okay.

Are you going
To leave me?

Of course not.

Oh, my god!

You big dope.

It's nice to see one
End like this.

[ laughs ] Yeah.

Anything off the canvass?
Nothing.

Nothing from
The neighbors?

Lady next door
Heard moving around,

But she didn't see anyone.

I notified
Lewis's brother.

He said there was no history
Of a drug problem,

But, uh, lewis was
Kind of a loner.

So maybe
The guilt got to him.

Yeah, maybe.

The cliftons worth
A conversation?

I can't go to them again.

They've been through
Too much already.

If it's indicated,
You got to.
It's not.

The father, gerald, he was in
No frame of mind to do this.

What about the guy you had in
Earlier, davis white?

He was at work all day.
Three co‐workers confirmed it.

It's up to you.

But the m.E. Will want
A decision by morning.

Brockhurst.
Yeah.

What do you want to do?

I don't know.

If we want it to be,
It's a suicide.

Do we want it to be?
I don't know.

Dave lewis did it.
He killed cindy clifton.

And shoved it in my face.

He deserved to get
Locked up.

Yeah, but that wasn't
Going to happen.

Now it's closed
For the cliftons.

It's closed for you,
Too.

Calling it a suicide
Won't close it for me.

It's your call, andy.

[ knock on door ]

I'm sorry to bother,

But dr. Hollingsworth
Is calling about dr. Devlin.

Okay.

Take it.
We'll sleep on this.

You're going home?
Yeah.

Be with the family.

You want to talk about the doc
Or anything tonight, call.

[ sighs ]

She was pretty groggy

From the time you brought her
In through most of dialysis,

But then she woke up and,
Well, she got very agitated.

Is that normal?

Needing five orderlies
To restrain a 100‐pound girl

Is not what we
Normally see.

Is she okay?

She calmed down enough
To ask for you,

But we had to restrain her
To the bed.

That's necessary?

Until she's regulated,
There's no choice.

Now, just be supportive
And encourage her

To get back
On her medications.

But whatever you do,
Don't untie the restraints.

She'll ask you to.
She'll be very manipulative.

All right.

Hi.

Hey.

Did I scare you?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Jen, it's okay,
But this is serious.

I know.

You need to get back
On your medication

And stay on it this time.

I know.
I was stupid.

Jen, do you care for me?

More than anyone.

Then do it for me.

Okay.

Because I can't
Lose you like this.

I can't lose someone else
I care for...Like this.

Like your dad.
I know.

That nearly killed me,
Losing him like I did.

Please,
Please let me help you.

Okay.

All right.

I wish I could hold you.

You will soon.

I need to hold you

To know everything's
Going to be all right.

It's going to be
All right.

Just loosen the straps
For one minute.

Jen, I can't.

Just one minute.

Then I'll know you care for me
And want me to get well.

The doctor said
Not right now.

The doctor doesn't know
What he's talking about.

They tried to give me
A rohypnol shot earlier, john.

Do you know
What that's for?

To knock me out
So they can rape me.

Jen, take it easy.

Please don't
Let them rape me.

Let me out of here.

It's going to be
All right.

How could you
Do this to me?

You don't love me.

You liar. You liar!

You liar! You liar!

Liar! Liar!

[ sobbing ]

Liar.

[ sobbing ]

Joe.

Hey, andy.
Can I set you up here?

No, I'm all right.

We found david lewis d. O. A.‐‐
Spike in his arm.

Junkie, huh?

Didn't have
A history of it.

Well, a lot of guys drop off
Their first time.

Mess up the dosage, whatnot.
It happens.

No.

You remember that kid
We worked real early on‐‐

16, uptown, white bread,
Not a mark on him

Except for that needle
Sticking out his arm?

In the shooting gallery
On stanton street.

That was his first time.

You remember what you said
To me at that crime scene?

"If you ever wanted to do
A guy and get away with it,

"Just stick a needle
In his arm.

No one
Will ask the question."

Guy's gonna sit there and let
You stick a needle in his arm?

You put a gun to his head,

You tell him it's truth serum
In the needle

And you just want
The truth out of him.

He does it himself.

I said that, huh?

And you remembered it?

What did you do?

I put the wrong guy in jail
For 18 years.

Did you kill david lewis,
Like I said?

You want me locked up, andy?
Is that gonna help you sleep?

I just want
To make this right.

Is it right to put me
Through a trial

On a case
They'll never make?

No one's going to shed a tear
That david lewis is dead,

But one homicide breeding
Another don't sit with me.

You want to scratch this
Till it bleeds, go ahead.

To me, the right guy
Finally paid the price.

I'm gonna sleep tonight.

If you can't,
Then do what you got to do.

Go with god, andy.
