In the criminal justice system

the people are represented
by two separate yet equally important groups,

the police
who investigate crime

and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

There's no way
I'm doing this.

Oh, come on, Alana.

Everybody's going
to be there.

Running nude
through campus?

What idiots
thought this up?

Uh, the idiots
at Princeton and Stanford.

But I'm freezing.

Here. This'll warm you up.

Whoa.
What?

Oh, no.

She was strangled.
Cut up some.

Been out here
since last night.

Probably between
10:00 and 3:00 a. m.

Name's Sarah Kincaide.

What, you found
her purse?

No, student ID
was in her pocket.

One of her shoes
was over near the library.

Drag marks lead
from there to here.

Has campus security
showed up?

Yeah, guy on duty
at the library is tracking down his boss.

Who called it in?

The two in
the trench coats.

What,
they out for their morning flash?

Just missed the annual
campus nude run.

Too bad.

That door open
when you got here?

Yes. Like it is now.

We recovered
a few strands of hair from the stairwell in there.

We'll cross it
against the victim.

Any blood?
No.

Took her outside
before he cut her.

Didn't want to
mess up the library.

Must be a book lover.

University campus.
That narrows it down.

Smokers disable the alarm,
we reconnect, they disable 'em again.

How many guards
were on duty last night?

Two. Al Canfield
and Joe Winick.

That all?

Worst we get on campus here
are drugs and alcohol.

Never anything
as vicious as this.

Does the library have
security cameras?

University keeps
promising, but...

Students and professors
show ID cards.

Outsiders have
to check-in at the front desk

for a temporary pass.

Do you keep a list
of who comes and goes?

No. But I can
give you names

of people who
signed out books.

Well, how many people come
through on any given day?

Well, we're in exam period.

The library's
open 24 hours.

I'd say we get
four or five hundred.

Was Sarah Kincaide
a regular?

Yes. She spent
a lot of time here.

She used a work station
on the third floor.

"Line Search Algorithms"?

"Probability Convergences"?

Sarah was working on her
master's in mathematics.

Yeah, and
her tennis game.

Rey, look...

If she went out back
for a smoke,

what are these
doing here?

I was
there from 8:00 until a little after 11:00...

Um, with students
calling my office for last minute help.

It's the only place
I can get some quiet.

Did you know
Sarah Kincaide?

No.

She was on
the third floor last night.

Um, I was buried in
George Herbert Mead.

My own little world.

Did you hear or see
anything unusual?

Uh, it's fairly deserted
up on three.

But, I... I did see one man
on my way to reshelf a book.

A student?

Yes, it could have been.

What was he doing?

It beats me. Uh...
He went into the stairwell.

Maybe 30, 40 seconds later
just came back and left.

Can you describe him?

Mid to late 20s, uh...
Brownish hair.

Entitled.

Entitled to what?

To everything.

What was he wearing?

Uh, chinos, polo shirt,
running shoes.

You remember
what time that was?

It was around 11:00.

Could you
pick him out of line-up?

Definitely.

When I tried
to pass him in the hall,

he wouldn't let me
fit my chair through.

You get a sense
about these things.

Uh, it was deliberate.

Thirty seconds
in and out of the stairwell.

Couldn't be the killer.
Didn't have time.

Came up empty on
the two guards who were on duty last night.

They didn't see a thing.

We got a list of people
who checked out books

or who were issued
temporary library passes.

How many?

Eighty checked out books.
15 got passes.

It's exam time,
and security was pretty lax.

The guy could've
come in the back door.

You run the MO?

Yeah. One name popped.
Eddie Clayman.

Did 10 years for rape
and attempted murder.

Sexual assault,
strangulation, stabbing.

Suspected in a string
of campus attacks.

Clayman was paroled to
the city two months ago,

and he lives three blocks
from the campus.

Rape aversion therapy.

So much for rehabilitation.

Find him.

How the hell am I supposed to
know where that damn fool son of mine is?

Parole office says Eddie's
staying here with you.

Is that true?

If showing up
when he damn well pleases qualifies,

yeah, it's true.

I haven't seen him
since the weekend.

Has Eddie been taking
his Depo-Provera?

Them pills to keep
his mind off the ladies?

'Cause if we find out he's
not, and he's messing with the college girls again...

What?
He'll get into big trouble?

The whole neighborhood
will be very happy to hear that.

Do you have any idea
where Eddie was last night after 10:30, 11:00?

Last night, every night.
Playin' poker with them lowlife friends of his.

When he could have
been having cocktails with Martha Stewart.

Yeah, it was
an all-night game.

Eddie wasn't here too long.

From when to when?

Got here a little
before midnight. Left around 1:30.

He run out of money?

More like
he ran out of luck.

What's that mean?

He came late.
Tried to catch up.

Yeah, so he was
dealing seconds and we discussed it with him.

He leave on
his own two feet?

He had an accident
on his way out.

We looking at hospitals
or the morgue?

Well, we tapped him
a little...

Hey, we paid his cab fare
to Mercy Cross.

Eddie Clayman?

Yeah.

You been released?

Yeah, but I'm feeling
kind of bad again.

Where you goin'?
Put your hands up against the wall.

Why?
Put your hands up against the wall

or you're gonna be
feeling a lot worse.

I'm the injured party here.
I gotta sit down.

Well, then, sit down.

Where were you
before the poker game?

Why you asking me that?

Where were you?

I was shopping
on 14th Street.

You buy some fresh melons
in Union Square?

Yeah. And a nice pair
of legs to go with 'em.

You're gonna have to
do better than that.

Why don't you bring in
Nick and Tony?

They're the ones who beat
the crap out of me.

Maybe you deserved it.

I wasn't even cheatin'.

For killin' the girl.

What girl?

Hudson University.

That's what this is about?

What else?
It sure looks like your handiwork.

I did my time for that.

Yeah, right.
You've been rehabilitated.

Yeah. I'm not into
that rough stuff anymore.

I got my medication.

You taking it?

Hell, yeah.
You can check with my clinic.

Then why are you chasing
hookers down 14th Street?

Come on, man.

It's springtime.

Those pills don't
work so good.

Yeah, we know. That's why
you've been stalking co-eds at Hudson University.

So, what happened?

This medicine give you
a little performance problem,

so you took it out
on the girl?

I don't have no
performance problem.

You're not helping
yourself here, Eddie.

If your therapy wasn't
working, you could have a medical defense.

This is screwed up.
I wasn't at Hudson.

So this hooker that you
were supposed to be with

on 14th Street.
You get her name?

You gotta
be kiddin', right?

What'd she look like?

White.

About 5'5".

That's it?

Well, I wasn't
concentratin' on her face.

You two get a room?

She had a spot
in the park.

She wasn't one of Heidi
Fleiss' girls, you know what I'm saying?

I gotta tell you something,
Eddie. It's looking bad.

What do you want from me?

Some straight answers.

I'll tell you one more time,
and then I want a lawyer.

I didn't lay a hand
on that college girl.

He was out on parole?

He'd done this before?

We're not sure he's the man
who killed your daughter.

You're not sure?

We're showing his picture
to potential witnesses,

and the lab's going over
the evidence.

And what?
My daughter's dead.

You have kids?

I know what
you're going through.

Sarah was
everything to us...

It's all such a waste.

Was Sarah having
any problems with anyone?

A boyfriend maybe?

No. Uh, she, uh...

She didn't have
time to date.

Is there a phone I can use?
I'd like to call my wife at the hotel.

You can use mine.

Bruising around her neck.
Windpipe was crushed.

Whoever did this
had big hands. Most likely a man.

You got a time of death?

Between 11
and midnight.

Cause of death,
asphyxiation.

Not the knife wounds?

The cuts were probably
inflicted post-mortem...

And no defensive wounds.
She wasn't trying to protect herself.

Maybe she was unconscious.

I think she'd
have come to.

What kind of knife?

Four, five inch.
Smooth-edged.

Was she raped?

No. And no evidence
of recent sex...

But she was nine weeks
pregnant.

You sure there was
no connection

between Clayman
and the dead girl?

Just the connection of
being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

He's not your man.

Mind sharing
how you know that?

The killer knew her...

Draped a scarf
over her face.

Wanted her to preserve
some dignity.

Dignity?

Best he could do
under the circumstances.

Like that carjacking
a couple of years ago.

But then why
cut her up?

Make it look like
a lunatic had done it.

See these cuts?

They're hesitation marks.

He was having
a hard time at first. Got bolder as he went along.

So you're saying
he staged the whole thing?

Do you think Eddie Clayman
could have put all this on to throw us off the track?

I think you got
the wrong guy.

Hold Clayman on parole
violation till we sort all this out.

Whoever killed Sarah Kincaide
knew her and cared about her.

Have you talked
with her boyfriend?

Her father said that
she wasn't seeing anybody regularly.

She was pregnant.

So she did something with
somebody nine weeks ago.

So how long were you
and Sarah roommates?

Since the beginning
of the year.

Did you know
she was pregnant?

Sarah was pregnant?

That's not possible.

We checked with
Health Services.

She found out last week.

I can't believe it.

I can't believe
she didn't tell me.

Were you two close?

She wasn't even
seeing anybody.

How about a couple
of months ago?

No. Sarah never
went out much...

Dr. Clemente kept her
pretty busy.

Dr. Clemente?

He's the big cheese
in the math department.

Sarah's advisor.

Was there
anything going on between them?

Oh, no. Not a chance.

He's old,
and she didn't even like him.

What's his problem?

He's full of himself.

Believe me, Sarah
had better sense.

When did you last see her?

We met for coffee
the night she was killed.

Uh, 6:00 to 6:30.

What'd you
talk about?

I did most of the talking.

Wedding plans.

I'm engaged.

Congratulations.

Where did you go
when you left Sarah?

I went to my dad's office.
He's the Dean of Students.

You know where Sarah went?

She met with
a few of her undergrads.

My parents are totally freaked
about what happened to Sarah.

They're calling me
every day to see if I'm okay.

You have any idea
who killed her?

We're working on it.

So, she met you that night?

Yeah. We both had a problem
with the calculus midterm,

so Sarah gave us some
extra credit work.

She said she'd strike
our worst grade.

She was really nice
about that sort of thing.

Did she seem upset?
Worried about anything?

No, she seemed fine.

She ever talk about
a boyfriend?

She talked about math.
That was all.

What time
did she leave you?

Around 10...

She had a tennis game.

We had a regular game
Wednesday nights at 10:30.

That's kind of late,
isn't it?

That's the only time
we could all meet.

Sarah was my
doubles partner.

She show up
last Wednesday?

No. And it was weird,
because she called my cell phone

told us she was
on her way.

What time was that?

A little after 10:30.

When she didn't show up,
I knew something was wrong.

She never missed a game.

I think tennis was
her only outlet.

So she wasn't
dating anyone?

I doubt she could
find the time.

Did you know
she was pregnant?

No. No, I didn't.

Wow.

When Sarah called you,
did she tell you what held her up?

Yeah, she got stuck at her
office with Dr. Clemente.

Sarah saw my light was on.
Stopped by to say hello.

When was that?

Lanie, would ring
Professor Ruben for me?

Tell him I'm running
a few minutes late.

Right away.

This is a terrible thing.
Any idea who killed her?

Well, we'd like to talk
to her boyfriend,

but we understand
she didn't have one.

I don't know how she would
have found the time.

Yeah, we heard you
kept her pretty busy.

Sarah was one of
the best math minds of her generation.

She was busy.

She have any enemies?

Anybody who might have been
jealous of her achievements?

She was a second year
master's candidate.

Nice. Easygoing.
Hardly a threat.

She stood her ground
in theoretical debates

but no one faulted
her for that.

What time did she stop by?

I think it was
a little after 10:00.

We got to talking about
my Kent Institute grant report.

She was the only student
I have who could discuss my work intelligently.

How long was she here?

About half an hour.

So 10:30?

10:30, 10:40 sounds
about right.

She was off
to a tennis game.

Did she use your phone
to call her tennis partner?

No. Gentlemen,
anything else?

Well, that makes it
unanimous.

Everybody says she was
going to play tennis.

But she winds up clear across
campus at the library.

Something changed her mind.

We went by her office.

The message light
on her phone was lit, but we didn't have the password.

Well, I can
circumvent that.

Okay, here we go.

Voice call
received, 11.:43 p. m. Wednesday, April 19th.

Sarah, are you still
stuck with Clemente?

We just finished playing.
We're going to the Brown Jug for a drink.

Meet us. Bye.

So just the one message
she didn't retrieve?

Yes.

Can the system
retrieve old messages?

Well, it stores a log of all
calls and voice mail activity.

Forever?
A month.

Did she get any other
messages that day?

Yes. She retrieved
another message at 10:32 that evening.

Deleted it at 10:34.

Can we hear that one?

Once it's deleted
by the system user, it's gone for good.

It was an
intra-university call. Will an extension help?

It's horrible.
Sarah was a good kid.

Would you
give us a minute?

Yeah. Uh,
I'll meet you over at the econ building.

No, Pete, hold on.
This won't take long.

Mr. Michaels,
you left a message on Sarah's office phone

the night she was killed?

Yeah.

She retrieved it.
An hour later, she was dead.

Makes us wonder
why you called her.

I was looking
for my fianc�e.

The Dean's daughter?

Melissa Slater.

I thought
Sarah might know where she was.

Why would she?

They were roommates.

Did, uh, Sarah call you back?
She leave a message?

No.

Was Sarah
seeing anybody?

Uh, not that I know of.

And where were you
Wednesday night after 10 o'clock?

Me?

Uh, I was drinking
with Peter.

Can you think of anybody who
might've wanted to hurt her?

I know
she was having trouble with Dr. Clemente.

What kind of trouble?

Something about
his grant report.

How do you know that?

I overheard a phone
conversation she was having with him.

What'd she say exactly?

She was in her room
with the door closed. I didn't hear the words.

Then how do you know it was
about the grant report?

Well, they'd locked horns
on it before.

Look, all I know is
she sounded pretty mad.

Dennis and I were
at Hanratty's practically all night.

From when till when?

Uh, about 9:30 till
closing, 3:00 a. m.

That's a lot of drinks.

Hey, it's exam week,
you know. We needed to unwind.

Okay?
Yeah.

Dr. Clemente forgot
to mention a screaming match he had with Sarah Kincaide.

What about?

That grant report,
apparently.

Kent Institute?
What did she have to do with it?

"Counting
Characteristics. "

"Golden Section Algorithms. "

These all Sarah's?

Yes. My file cabinet's
over here.

You know where I can
find the Kent Institute grant papers?

Sorry.

You know, I took about
five minutes of calculus my freshman year,

then I dropped the class.

Too analytical?

Too early. 8:00 a. m.

Was Sarah a friend
of yours?

Sarah was kind of private.

We talked mostly about work,
students, the professors.

What'd she think
about Dr. Clemente?

Before or after?

Before or after what?

Before or after
she got to know him.

She could have gone anywhere,
but she came here because of Dr. Clemente.

He's incredibly smart.

But his idea of teaching
students is to belittle them.

Sarah, too?

Everybody.

Well, I got nothing here
but class lists, exams she was grading.

Lennie, Kent Institute,
Miguel Clemente, Ph. D.

How much was
this grant worth?

I think about four million
over the course of five years.

What language is this?

Some kind of 3D math.
It's beyond me.

The annotations
are Sarah's notes.

It looks like here
Dr. Clemente made some mistakes.

Could that affect his grant?

Well, it might.
If she's correct in her assumptions.

Four million's
a lot to lose.

Not to mention
the seven years he spent on the project.

Were you around the night
Sarah was killed?

No, sorry.
I wish I could help.

Anyone else who might have
been in the building?

Sure, I was here.
I'm here every night, 8:00 to 4:00 a. m.

Did you know
Sarah Kincaide?

Oh, she was the only one who
ever bothered to ask my name.

How about Dr. Clemente?

Dr. Clemente? He treats me
like a piece of furniture.

Last Wednesday night,
did you see Sarah or Dr. Clemente?

You mean the night
she was killed?

Yeah.

No, but before that,
they had a big argument.

Oh, yeah?
When was that?

A few days before.

What about?

I don't know.

But I heard yelling
from behind his door,

and then she came
out crying.

Sorry to pull
you in so late.

We, uh, appreciate
you coming down.

Can we get you a cup of
coffee, Dr. Clemente?

If you're so concerned with
my comfort, why couldn't this wait till tomorrow?

We, uh, found this
in Sarah's office.

We weren't quite sure
what those notes meant.

I don't expect you were.

Was Sarah Kincaide disputing
your conclusions?

She thought one of
my assumptions was flawed.

I showed her
she was mistaken.

Are you suggesting
I killed her

because she wasn't as smart
as she thought she was?

My God.

Try this on for size.
She was nine weeks pregnant.

Were you teaching her
something besides algebra?

What the hell
are you thinking?

I'm thinking a paternity test
is on the agenda.

It never stops,
does it?

No matter
how successful we are, we always fit the profile.

Spic with a knife.

I didn't kill Sarah,
and I'm not answering any more questions.

A professor who might
have killed his student

who might have found
errors in his work.

According to the cops,
Dr. Clemente has a chip on his shoulder the size of a boxcar.

Not good enough.

Getting calls from
the Board of Regents, worried parents.

The place is a tinder box.

Well, the cops couldn't find
anyone else with a grudge.

Clemente says he didn't
have a grudge.

Well, what else
would he say?

He was the last one
to see her alive.

Where's the evidence?

Doesn't seem to be any.

No prints.

No witnesses.

Skoda said
early on they should be looking for a boyfriend.

Any indication
it's Clemente?

The cops asked him
for a DNA sample. He refused.

Did he have a reason?

Outrage.

He says the suspicion
of him is racist.

Sure.
Only Hispanic professor on a white campus,

could be he's right.

Could be he did it.

Let's make sure
we're not trashing this man's reputation

just because
he's uncooperative.

But let's not let it go just
because he's screaming racism.

I don't need the Hispanic
community up in arms.

I don't want the campus
to explode.

Whoever did it,
get proof.

Dr. Clemente's a bastard.

He drives us till we drop.

He expects perfection
on the first try.

And he's a lousy teacher.

Anything going on
between him and Sarah Kincaide?

He put his hand on her
shoulder a lot. She didn't knock it off.

He's Latin.

So it didn't mean anything?

Hell, I don't know.

Why isn't anybody
doing anything?

Why don't you arrest him?

We don't know he did it.

Did you see his paper
on analog relationships?

I wouldn't have known
what I was looking at.

His reasoning's so dense
it's impenetrable.

Could Sarah Kincaide
have penetrated it?

Well, I heard she told him
his grant report had flaws.

Could she have found errors?

She was smart,
but she wasn't that smart.

It wouldn't have mattered.
He'd have gone ballistic anyway.

You don't challenge
Dr. Clemente.

And how does he deal
with students who do challenge him?

Humiliates them till
they slink away.

Maybe Sarah didn't slink
fast enough for him.

He puts his hand
on her shoulder, you think he's a murderer?

I'm asking if they were
romantically involved.

I heard she was pregnant.

But I'm not sure that
Miguel has anything going on south of his brain.

He probably hasn't even
noticed that his wife left him four years ago.

Not exactly well-rounded.

He lives entirely
in his head.

You've no idea
how brilliant he is.

A second-year grad student
found errors in his work.

There are maybe two dozen
people in the world who can follow Miguel's reasoning.

I doubt Sarah Kincaide
was one of them.

She questioned his
conclusions.

What would his reaction
have been?

He's unpredictable.

He might have given her
a tongue lashing

or he might have calmly
explained his reasoning.

You can't think
he killed her over that.

You're the first person
I've found who defends him.

Miguel had to kick down a lot
of barriers to achieve what he's accomplished.

I know there's more to him
than that arrogant fa�ade.

Nobody has a clue
if Clemente and Sarah Kincaide

were an item.

Small community. Hard to
believe they could have achieved total discretion.

How about her
questioning his work?

Well, one of his colleagues
said his reaction would depend on his mood.

Everyone else said he'd rip
her a new eye socket.

So you have
two contradictory motives,

and not much evidence
to support either one.

Well, there's
no other suspect.

Unless it's some maniac
striking randomly, and Skoda ruled that out.

Skoda's been wrong before.

Dr. Clemente's attorney filed
an order to show cause.

Claims we've been
harassing his client.

I'm having a hard time
disagreeing with him.

They've suspended him
from teaching classes.

Why? There's no evidence.
He hasn't even been charged.

Carmichael.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Briscoe and Curtis have
a witness who can put Clemente in the library.

Yeah, I was out
Wednesday night when the girl got murdered,

and I saw Professor Clemente
storm into the library.

He looked mad enough to,
well, kill somebody.

Where were you?

Uh, at a table in
the main reading room.

What time did you see him?

Somewhere between
10:30 and 11:00.

Are you sure
it was Dr. Clemente?

Oh, yeah.

I have to sit through his
incomprehensible lectures twice a week.

Well, not any more,
I guess.

Was he alone?

Just him and his ego and
that black coat he wears everywhere.

Where did he go?

Upstairs.

Didn't even slow down.
People had to jump out of his way.

Why didn't you come
forward sooner?

I went camping
right after my last final.

Didn't even know it had
happened till I got back.

Thank you, Mr. Conway.
We'll be in touch.

Arrest the genius?

We've talked to 74 people
who were in the library.

How come this kid's the only
one who remembers seeing him?

How many did you talk to
who knew him by sight?

Not many.
And they all left way before 10:30.

Arrest the genius.

At least
now we can get an answer to the paternity question.

I did not kill her.

Yeah, we hear that a lot.

Do you have to make
such a spectacle?

We couldn't get
the car up the stairs.

You're humiliating me.

Watch your head, Doc.

One witness in 400
puts him on the scene.

We'll make a note
of your outrage, Mr. Meyer.

This man is pre-eminent
in his field.

You can't possibly think
he killed a student.

Dr. Clemente has
a short fuse,

they had at least
two screaming arguments, and he was there.

I wasn't at the library.

So what happened?
She broke up with you, you couldn't take it?

You people are
all over the map.

He loved her,
he hated her.

Or maybe he just got
so confused he wanted her dead.

Did you father
her child?

You might as well answer
the question, Dr. Clemente.

They're running
the test now.

Sarah was the first woman
I ever met I could talk to.

She and I were together
for five months.

I broke it off because it was
against university rules.

She was upset.

We had a couple of fights.

She threatened
to make it public?

She never would have
threatened my reputation.

She just tore apart
your grant proposal.

She was wrong.

But it showed me
she had a spark.

A potential most
of them don't have.

You didn't ream her
out about it the night she was killed?

I stayed at my office
for a half hour after Sarah left.

Then I went home.

So our witness is lying?

He's mistaken
about the date.

I did go to the library
the night before,

and I was angry
at the time.

Why?

I went over to see
if the monograph I had ordered was there.

They hadn't even
processed it.

Maybe you could check
with the librarian before you ruin a man's life.

He was infuriated.

Of course, he's usually
angry about something.

Everything's
an injustice with him.

And you're sure
it was the Tuesday, not the Wednesday?

Oh, yes. It was
my husband's birthday.

Dr. Clemente made me
late getting home.

Does this mean that
he didn't do it?

Not necessarily.

Most of the girls
are so frightened

that they've stopped
coming here at night.

I was hoping that the arrest
would bring everything back to normal.

No, it was
that Wednesday.

A couple of hundred people in
and out of there that night.

You're the only one we can
find who saw Clemente.

Well, I can't help that.

Were you at the library
any other night that week?

I was there every night
until the exams were over.

The librarian says
it was Tuesday that Clemente came in.

I was getting
four hours sleep a night that week.

I thought
it was Wednesday.

You thought?

Hey, I was just
trying to help.

Well, it only helps
if the information is accurate.

Here.

We're trying to get
his tenure yanked.

I faxed
Sarah Kincaide's notes

to Dr. Ramesh Kapoor
in Calcutta.

He says she was very bright,
but not bright enough

to follow Dr. Clemente's
calculations all the way through.

DNA results.
Clemente's not the father.

So the witness changed
his story and you have no motive.

Have you released
Dr. Clemente?

He's out on bail.

We'll drop the charges.

Are we any closer to knowing
who killed this young woman?

We're only left
with Skoda's opinion.

Someone who felt
close to her.

Let's see if the lab
can tell us anything about the real father yet.

DNA tests peg the father
as having Greek ancestry.

Pretty specific.

He has a blood disorder.
Beta-thalassemia.

Only occurs in Greeks.

There's no obviously Greek
names in the case file.

Thank you.
Let's talk to Sarah Kincaide's roommate.

I told the police
I don't know who the father was.

I didn't even know
she was pregnant.

The medical examiner ran
some tests on the fetus.

It was determined
that the father was of Greek origin.

Greek?

Yeah.
Did Sarah know any men of Greek ancestry?

Well, I... I don't know
everybody that she knew.

Do you know anybody
that might fit the bill?

Why do you think that
I would know anything about this?

Because you're biting
your lip so hard it's going to start bleeding soon.

There are a lot of
Greek-Americans at school here.

This one has
a blood condition.

He'd be taking
medication for it.

Tell us who he is.

He... He couldn't be
the father. He would...

He would never
do that to me.

Who?

My, uh...
My fianc�e.

Dennis Michaels.

Michaels?

It used to be Michaelanos.

There's about 400,000
Greeks in New York City.

We can clear this up easily
enough with a paternity test.

I didn't kill Sarah.

I told the police I was
with my friend Peter Kelly.

She went to
Health Services on campus,

learned that
she was pregnant.

They offered to give her
the name of a doctor who performs abortions.

She wasn't interested.

When did she tell you she was
going to have the baby?

You got it all wrong.

Clear it up for us.

Some guy dumped her.
She needed comforting.

And you comforted her
by knocking her up?

I didn't even know
about the baby. Why would I kill her?

You were worried
she'd tell your fianc�e about your relationship

and screw up your plans
to marry the Dean's daughter.

It wasn't a relationship,
okay?

One mistake.
We both felt bad.

Thank you for coming in,
Mr. Michaels.

Think you were a little
tough on him, Jack?

We just destroyed
one innocent man.

Let's see if Mr. Michaels'
alibi is vulnerable before we go for two.

Look, I've already
been through this.

I was at Hanratty's with
Dennis from maybe 9:30 till closing.

Try again.

What, you want me
to repeat myself?

Both of you
were regulars.

Bartender says
you weren't there.

Other patrons don't remember
seeing either of you.

Six weeks ago.
Who remembers?

I'm giving you a chance to
back out of a lot of trouble, Mr. Kelly.

Why don't you take it?

Look, if you had anything on
Dennis, he'd be under arrest

and you'd have a subpoena
in your hand.

The police have a witness
who saw you on the quad at 11:30 that night.

Dennis Michaels
wasn't with you.

That the same witness who saw
Dr. Clemente in the library?

If you insist on testifying
that Michaels was with you.

We'll slam you for perjury.

I'm not some
junkie on Welfare

that you can scare
with your little speeches.

I'm going to the Grand Jury
this afternoon.

I wanted to give you
a chance.

So nice of you
to stop by.

No, this isn't the man
I saw go into the stairwell.

Did you see him
at all that night?

No.

What happened
to the case against Dr. Clemente?

Sometimes our first
indications point in the wrong direction.

Oh, I bet that's
a big comfort to him.

He's been on indefinite,
unpaid leave, you know.

Have you remembered
any details at all

about the man you saw,
Professor Kroeschel?

Just what I said.
Uh, brown hair...

Uh, college polo shirt.

College?

Cal Central.

Peter Kelly had a Cal Central
pennant in his living room.

I showed Professor Kroeschel
his yearbook picture,

and he ID'd him as the man
he saw go in the stairwell.

Did you talk
to Kelly again?

No. I think we need
to discuss a plan of attack.

Kelly must have
witnessed the crime.

Now he's protecting
Michaels.

Michaels sleeps
with his fianc�e's roommate, kills her to keep her quiet.

Why would Kelly
cover for him?

Well, they're in the same
graduate program.

They're supposed
to be best friends.

That's some friendship.

Damon and Pythias.

More like Leopold and Loeb.

Maybe we can nail Kelly
as an accomplice,

get him to roll
on Michaels.

Kelly was in and out
of the stairwell in a matter of seconds.

But if he watched it
go down and didn't do anything about it,

he's as bad as Michaels.

Which gives him
a good reason to go to the mat for Michaels.

We need a wedge
to bust them apart.

Dennis told me this
is all a huge mistake.

Was sleeping
with your roommate also just a mistake?

Sarah came on to Dennis after
he'd had a few drinks.

I was out of town.
He's really sorry about it.

Why didn't he tell you
about it after it happened?

He killed your roommate,
Miss Slater.

I don't believe that.

Dennis went out drinking
that night with Peter.

Peter Kelly is
covering for him.

Why would Peter lie?
He's from a prominent family.

Dennis told me
Peter's father owns an entire shipping company.

Sounds like Dennis
was impressed.

No, Dennis isn't like that,
Mr. McCoy.

He's worked very hard to get
into the university.

And he had
a lot to lose

if Sarah Kincaide
told you about their problem.

You, your father's influence.

Your fianc�e's
alibi is worthless, Miss Slater.

An eyewitness put Peter Kelly
in the library that night.

I don't know.

There must have been a good
reason why Peter would go out on a limb for Dennis.

Dennis did get Peter
through a few rough spots.

I still don't believe it.

What kind
of rough spots?

At school.

Helped him
with his thesis.

He... He wrote
a few papers for him.

You're making
our case for us, Miss Slater.

I don't care
what you say...

Maybe Peter's
making up this alibi

because you're trying
to frame Dennis.

You can't honestly
believe we'd do that.

Why not?

You already tried it
with Dr. Clemente.

We just talked
to Melissa Slater.

She says you'd lie
to protect your friend.

I've told you where I was.
I've got nothing to add.

You went into the library
stairwell at around 11:00 p. m.

Why did you turn around
and come right back?

Wasn't there.

You saw Dennis Michaels there
with Sarah Kincaide.

What were they doing?

You witnessed the murder.

Why don't you people
just admit that you don't have a clue?

I'm getting
a material witness order.

You'll be arrested.

You'll be held
at Rikers Island.

I'm calling my father.

His lawyers will
have me out in an hour.

You do that.

Pretty thin, Jack.

We had more than this
on Dr. Clemente.

So? Make it sound thicker
when you apply for the order.

And then what?

Kelly's figured out
we've got nothing.

He's better off
hanging tough.

Couple of weeks sleeping
with his back to the wall

may change his attitude.

I'm moving to vacate the
material witness order, Your Honor.

I have a university professor
who places Mr. Kelly at the scene of the crime.

My client's already
told the D.A. he didn't see anything.

The statute requires
reasonable cause to believe

Mr. Kelly will refuse
to testify in our case.

We have cleared
that hurdle.

What case?
They haven't indicted their suspect.

They haven't even
arrested him yet.

This is third-rate
arm twisting.

Mr. McCoy, if you don't
even have enough evidence to arrest Mr. Michaels

you're not leaving
me much choice.

I'm having Mr. Kelly
arrested today.

What?

He'll be arraigned on
a murder two charge with Dennis Michaels.

This is outrageous.
Judge...

Who are you?

I'm his father.

Sit down, Mr. Kelly.
Your son has a lawyer.

What is Mr. McCoy's theory?

He acted as
Mr. Michaels' accomplice.

My son was not
mixed up in that.

Last warning, sir.

I can't stop the D.A.
from making arrests.

He hasn't got a shred of
evidence against my client.

Then the Grand Jury
will no-bill it.

Until Mr. Kelly's been
arraigned, there's nothing I can do.

Kelly and Michaels were
arraigned this morning.

For murder.

They're locked up?

Michaels is.
Kelly's father posted bail.

That'll lessen the damage
award when he sues for false arrest.

He watched Michaels
strangle that girl.

All he did was turn
and walk away.

If that's what happened,
it's still not a crime.

Hell of a moral lapse.

Can't we find something
to nail this guy with?

Not in this state.

Accomplice charge
won't stand.

Just trying to loosen
his tongue.

You're using the authority
of this office like a foot on the neck.

We've done that before.

You usually have
one leg to stand on.

Fine, Adam.

I'll call
Kelly's lawyer.

We're cutting Kelly loose?

We're arranging a meeting
with Michaels.

I'm throwing the dogs
into the pit.

Let's make sure Kelly's
father is there, too.

I don't know
what you think this will accomplish, Mr. McCoy.

I'm hoping to parcel out
responsibility for Sarah Kincaide's murder.

Well, you have
nothing about me.

I'm not saying anything
about Dennis.

What are you doing here?

Mr. McCoy asked me to come.

What for?
If you're going to cover up this woman's murder,

I want your father
to hear it.

You saw him kill her.

That's what they say.

Don't feed me crap, Peter.

Professor Kroeschel
was in my office.

Your father just
spoke to him.

He's positive
he saw you there, Peter.

They still can't touch you.

This is what
you're protecting?

He's my friend.

Oh.

Your friend strangled
a pregnant woman with his bare hands.

He sliced up her body
with a pocket knife.

I'm so glad you went
to graduate school.

Look, not everybody's
obsessed with making money, Dad.

You don't want my money?

That's right.

I guess you don't want
the bail I posted for you.

I'd like to withdraw
my bail bond, Mr. McCoy.

That can be arranged.

That's not what I meant.

What do you mean?

It's time
you stopped covering up

for your nice
college friend.

You want to stay
out ofjail,

you tell Mr. McCoy
what he wants to know.

Dad...
This is the way it's done in the real world.

It's time
you stepped into it!

Officer,
call your supervisor.

Arrange for Mr. Kelly's
transportation to Rikers.

Wait.

Peter, what
are you doing?

Let's hear it,
Mr. Kelly.

I went to the library
that night looking for Dennis.

I can't believe this.

I thought he might be
up there with Sarah.

What, this is
how you pay me back?

What do you want
me to do, Dennis?

Keep your damn
mouth shut.

I saw them
in a stairwell.

I thought he was
having sex with her.

You son of a bitch!

I didn't know he was
choking her, I swear.

Oh, yeah, right.
You knew exactly what was happening.

You watched me
do it to her,

and you didn't have
the guts to say anything

until daddy here came
and cut you off.

Take Mr. Michaels out.

Are you prosecuting
my son, Mr. McCoy?

I wish I could.

Let's go.

Michaels will plead
to murder two, 20-to-life.

Sarah Kincaide's father
is looking into a wrongful death suit.

There will be a hue
and cry in Albany for a Good Samaritan law.

No way to
make it constitutional.

Well, at least Hudson
University has settled down.

Dr. Clemente is
back on campus.

Peter Kelly's
been expelled.

What does he care?
He'll probably go into the family business.

As long as it doesn't
require a conscience.
