And we've got a visual.

And we've got a visual.

How come he can't just say I see him?

Because I've got the binoculars, wise guy. You want to get suited up?

that be equip myself with the appropriate attire?

It's get your butt in gear so I don't write you up for delaying the strike

Steve, hand me a vest.

Something in blue, all right?

Since when are you coming?

Since I decided that you guys need an old pro to show you how it's done.

You, uh... Girls and vice always bicker before a bust?

Just to make you guys from Homicide feel at home.

Hope you get your man, Steve.

Yeah, me too.

All right, let's get serious.

The vulnerable point's gonna be the staircase.

And, Doug, I want you to hit that landing, lay down a flashbang, and then

gonna get out of there as quickly as possible and in one piece.

We've got buyers.

Let's go.

Second Florida officer down.

Come on, Doug.

Hang in there.

They just got him here about two minutes ago. I know. I was on the phone with

the ER team all the way here.

What do they think?

Well, they'll do the best they can.

Dad. I'll know a little better when I get in here with them.

Can I see the x -rays, please?

Yes, doctor.

What do you think, Dad?

Let's see the lateral.

Six inches lower than that bullet would hit his vest.

He wouldn't be lying on an operating table.

See you.

He's a friend that I know that it will do everything we can do

How

you

doing, how do you think I'm doing

What's the word

It's hard to say.

How did I do this?

Don't blame yourself, Max.

My team?

My operation? Who else do I blame?

You did everything by the book, Max. It was an accident.

I pulled the trigger.

I pulled the damn trigger.

It's my responsibility.

Dave, we just heard.

The officer your father's operating on, he's a good friend of yours?

Yeah, I've known him about six years. I've been a detective.

Amanda Lennox and Jesse Travis, this is Max Jupe. He's Doug's commanding

officer. He's in good hands, Detective Jupe. The best.

Yeah, it may be a while before we know anything.

Let's go, Max. Let's go talk to A.

If there's any news, you'll be...

Poor guy. He's got to be going through hell.

The Special Review Board has considered all of the available testimony regarding

today's incident.

It has been determined that the shooting of Officer Douglas Quinton Vogel was an

unfortunate accident in the line of duty.

As far as his condition is concerned, I have no information at this time.

Jim Juke will be on administrative duty until the completion of a full

investigation. And I repeat, we expect no formal charges at this time.

I have two years

before retirement. You want me to sweat it out behind the desk, that's fine with

me. Well, let's just wait for the official board ruling, okay?

What am I going to say to her?

That's his wife?

Janine.

I haven't seen her since Christmas, Steve.

What am I going to say?

Rex.

Andrew Shivers, city attorney.

Dad.

I should have never been in that building.

My God, what was I thinking?

You were involved in an accidental shooting, Max.

It was hard to see in there. It could have happened to any of us. But it

happen to any one of us. It happened to me.

I killed him.

And I'll tell her. No.

They'll let Dr.

Sloan do that.

He's my officer.

It's my responsibility.

I'll tell her. It's a little more complicated than that, Detective Jupe.

The city could be facing significant legal exposure here.

I'm going to have to ask you.

to refrain from any kind of communication with the widow or her

Is that clear?

Sorry, Max.

I'll do it.

Thanks, Detective.

Steve.

Been a while.

Yeah, too long.

Jeanine, this is Dr. Mark Sloan, my father.

This is Vogel.

He's dead, isn't he?

A bullet struck an artery in his neck. The amount of blood he lost by the time

he reached us.

I am so sorry.

Anything we can do.

I'm sure you're going to be all right. Is there someone you want to call?

Maybe later.

If you do want to talk, just call. If you have any trouble sleeping... I have

the pills your father gave me.

I'll be fine, Steve, really.

Mrs. Vogel.

Daniel Brandt.

We've never met, but I did some legal work for your husband a few months ago.

I know you have a lot on your mind right now, Mrs. Vogel, but I just wanted to

offer my sympathy.

And?

My services.

If there is anything you need... An awful injustice has been committed here,

Mrs. Vogel. Your husband taken from you.

Look, I really don't think this is the time.

The city won't give you fair compensation, Mrs. Vogel, unless you

to fight for you. There's a lot of money involved.

You're going to need a friend.

She has friends.

Thanks, Steve, and thank you, Mr. Brent, but I really don't feel like talking to

anybody just now.

Look, mister, if you're not looking to get cited for trespassing, I'd move

now.

What are you doing here?

You know, I bet he never told you this.

But the night before you were married, he wanted to call the whole thing off.

Well, guys probably always get cold feet.

But Doug had frostbite.

Things you remember after you kill a guy.

What did the review board say?

Accidental death.

Well, you did what you had to do.

You have no idea how glad I am that you decided to call.

As Doug's friend, I want to protect your interest. You know, make sure you

receive fair compensation. What was his middle name?

Excuse me?

Doug's middle name.

As his lawyer, it should be in your record.

Go ahead.

Check his file.

Oh, wait.

I'm afraid I can't do that. You see, I just changed secretaries, and that file

is... You can't find his file.

Because you don't have one.

You never did any work for my husband, Mr. Brent.

You're a liar.

If you know I didn't work for your husband, why are you here?

I like to understand the people I deal with, Mr. Brent.

And I think I understand you.

Call me Daniel.

Yesterday you said there was a great deal of money to be made from my

death.

What did you mean?

More money than you'll get from the police insurance death benefit.

Well, Doug doubled his benefit a couple of months ago.

He said he wanted to make sure I was taken care of in case anything happened

him.

Of course there isn't enough insurance in the world to pay for the pain of

Doug's loss, but...

I am talking about a major liability suit against the city, the department,

the officer who shot your husband.

A lawsuit?

I hadn't thought of that.

But is it possible if the review board said Doug's shooting was an accident?

A police review board is not a civil court.

Let's look at the facts.

The officer involved is two years away from retirement.

And, of course, he wears glasses.

Does he?

I wonder if he was wearing them on the raid.

Mrs. Vogel, I'm going to make you a very rich woman.

I'll have my secretary draw up the retainer contract for the standard 33%.

Fifteen percent.

Considering the publicity that my firm will receive, I may be able to talk

the... Partners into accepting 25%. You don't have any partners.

20 % or I take my business elsewhere, Mr. Brent.

You were going to call me Daniel.

You ready to go, Dad?

I guess so.

What's the matter? You sound a little down.

Sure was, huh?

Yeah. Listen, if you want to skip the funeral... Oh, no, no. I think I ought

be there.

You sure?

No.

What is it, Dad?

I've been thinking about the last few days.

Yeah.

Well, you've been tough.

Well, I wish I could have done more for Doug.

Dad, you did everything you could.

Look, if I was lying there, you're the first person I'd want working on me.

Dad, you know I love what I do.

Well, I can't picture you doing anything else.

And you know it's dangerous out there.

Well, I try not to think about it.

Dad, Doug Bogle was doing what he wanted to do.

Now, he could have retired a long time ago and that money made in the stock

market.

But being a cop wasn't just a job to him.

It was his life. I know.

It's just stray bullets.

How easily they can take a life.

See if I know you're as good as it gets out there, but... Times like this, you

know, you've got to be thankful for what you got.

Steve.

Harold.

How are you holding up?

I haven't been sleeping too well.

How about Janine? Have you spoken to her?

She's back at work.

Already? Well, sometimes that's best.

Carol, this is my father, Dr. Mark Sloan. Hi, Carol. Carol was Doug's

when they were found in a beat.

Sorry. It's Janine who needs the sympathy.

But, Doctor, do you really think it's best that she's back at work so soon?

yes. Anything to ease the trauma.

What does she do?

She's a teacher at the Precinct Daycare Center.

My little girl's in her class.

You okay, Carol?

Yeah.

It's just strange.

Two weeks ago, it seemed like the biggest crisis in my life was Kayla's

pox.

Now it all seems so silly in comparison.

Something like this makes you stop and think.

Max, you call me if you want to talk.

Mr. Shivers, is the mayor planning on releasing a statement regarding Officer

Vogel's death? All right, hold it down. Hold it down, please.

The mayor shares the city's mourning today. He shares the grief of Douglas

Vogel's colleagues who've lost a friend and his wife, Janine, who has suffered

greatly from the sacrifice of this brave officer.

Oh, Doug Vogel was sacrificed, all right.

The city sent Doug Vogel into an urban crack house.

A war zone with inadequate support.

Now, this hero, this great man, died at the hands of his commander.

But the city can't protect its own officers.

How's it going to protect its citizens?

I don't believe it.

You know that man?

Said he was Doug's lawyer.

He was at Janine's before Doug's body was even called.

On behalf of his widow.

I have filed a suit against the city for $10 million and the wrongful and

negligent death of Officer Douglas Quentin Vogel.

I don't understand.

Lawyers, Max.

That's the way things are.

When someone doesn't sue City Hall, that's a surprise.

The review board said it was an accident. It was over.

It was accidental.

At this time, an impending lawsuit has no bearing...

on whether we will reopen an investigation.

Please,

folks, please.

We have just buried one of the city's finest. This is no time for a press

conference.

Please.

Get Max out of here. I don't want those reporters talking to him.

You don't look too good.

Something chews us, right?

You okay?

With all that's been going on, I just haven't been feeling too well.

Are you sure fever isn't bad?

How long have you been sick? A couple days.

You know something? You better come back to the hospital with me.

Come on, get up.

I'm gonna have a look at you.

I promise I'm gonna have you out of here in just a minute.

All right, take your time. I'm not going anywhere.

From what Mark tells me, you've had one hell of a week.

Yeah.

A real train wreck.

Sorry. Yeah.

Me too.

Well, we're probably just looking at a low -grade infection, but I think the

best medicine you can get right now is to take a couple of days off with you.

I'd rather just get back behind my desk.

Why, nobody at home to cook you a cup of chicken soup?

Well, I ain't more.

My wife took a look in the mirror and decided she wasn't going anywhere and

back to college.

That's great. She went back to school.

That's great.

My alimony paid for most of the tuition.

It's okay.

It's a long time ago.

Now it's just me and the remote control and a bag of cheese twisties.

Cheese twisties?

I gotta tell you, I'm a corn chip man myself.

So, uh, what are you gonna do now?

I don't know.

Write a desk for a couple of years till I retire.

And then?

And then I'm going to find a beautiful lady.

Thinks I'm a real catch.

Go to a nice quiet beach somewhere.

Sounds doable.

Yeah.

You'd think so, wouldn't you?

So, doctor, what do I got?

Well, no, we get the test results back. But in the meantime, I want you to get

plenty of rest and drink a lot of fluids.

Lay off those cheese twisties.

Crap will kill you.

Thanks, Park.

Hello! Park?

Yeah, I'm in the kitchen.

You got those lab results you wanted.

Hey. Oh, good.

Varicella zoster virus?

Chicken pox, you knew? Pretty much.

Then why the lab work?

Well, I wanted to be 100 % sure.

Here's my problem.

An officer's killed by another officer who claims failing vision, but who

doesn't wear his glasses on a rate he shouldn't have been on in the first

What does that have to do with him having chicken pox?

When's the last time you heard of an adult case of chicken pox? It's very

It's getting even rarer. So where would someone like Max Jupe be exposed to it?

Who gets chicken pox?

Children. One of the children at the preschool where Janine Vogel teaches

a case of it a couple of weeks ago.

I'm wondering if Janine got it.

And Max got it from her.

Except he claims he hasn't seen her for about three months.

Well, why would he lie about something like that?

Why does a man usually lie about seeing a married woman?

Brought you something.

A cyclamere.

Eight hundred milligrams. Take one five times a day.

Chicken pox.

You're kidding.

It's dangerous if you're an old... if you're a man, right?

Only if you're not careful.

You really should take it easy a few days, though.

Well, that's not going to be a problem. They have me watching his desk for the

rest of the month.

I heard about it. Sorry.

Well, listen, I certainly appreciate you coming all the way down here. No

problem, Max. I was in the neighborhood.

So this is where you guys learned how to shoot, huh?

That's right.

You know, it's embarrassing.

All the years I worked with the police department, I never learned to fire a

gun. Really?

Yeah, I just never... You busy right now?

Well, what do you think?

Well, I'm...

I'm here.

You're an instructor, right?

If you'd like a quick course, it'd be my pleasure.

You might.

That's great, Max.

Come on.

Hello.

This is my son's favorite book.

I'm sorry?

That's his big adventure. My son won't go to bed at night unless I read him the

story. I think his favorite part is with the ice cream man. And the ice cream

man didn't even make shots to say thank you.

Were you thinking of placing your son with us this season? I made a living

Actually, I was.

Janine Vogel recommended it. But I heard something about some health problems

with the children.

Health problems?

Yeah, an outbreak of some sort.

Oh, chicken pox. The kids all had chicken pox. What about the teachers?

Oh, only Janine. Oh, so she was sick then.

Oh, yeah, poor Janine.

The rest of us had it when we were kids.

The worst part was the pox. I mean, it's one thing when you're little, but with

Janine, she's just so beautiful.

Her face was kind of a mess.

I heard she went to the dermatologist the second day to get some cream so she

wouldn't get any scars.

Sounds like she's a little stuck on herself.

Oh, no.

Not really.

She's great with the kids.

If I looked like Janine, I'd worry about chicken pox scars, too, I'm sure.

Do you know she was a beauty queen?

Janine? Really? She never mentioned that to me.

Well, there was some kind of problem.

Really?

That's what I heard.

Janine doesn't like to talk about it.

Well, it must have been more than a little problem if she didn't want to

about it.

Well, she opened up to me.

I guess there was quite a scandal.

And she was in the middle of it?

Well, I'm not sure. I know she was questioned by the police.

The police were involved?

Well, aren't they always when someone's found dead?

Now, you're going to cite straight down the barrel?

And squeeze the trigger.

Now, why are you doing that?

I always kind of like the way they did that in the movies.

And that's why they only do it in the movies.

Now, it might look good, but it's a lousy way to hold a Beretta.

I get the point.

All right, let's do it the right way.

Why don't you give me a demonstration?

I bet you never saw a movie star do that.

I never saw anybody ever do that.

This has been a real eye -opener, Max.

Thank you very kindly for the demonstration.

Shit. Oh, I forgot to take your medicine.

I'm meeting with that idiot from the city attorney's office this afternoon.

Chivers. We're to discuss go -away money.

Go -away money being?

The amount of money they'll offer us to just go away.

Whatever it is, it won't be enough, of course.

The real purpose of the meeting is to see how serious we are.

Well, how serious are we, Daniel?

I mean, when they put the pressure on us to quit and to accept less than we

want.

Will you be there beside me?

Can I count on you to go the distance?

Absolutely.

About last night.

If you're wondering whether you took advantage of me and my grief, you

My marriage died a long time before Doug was killed.

But I guess you figured that out.

Obviously.

I'm not glad he's dead.

But I'm not sorry he's gone.

And I'm not sorry about last night.

Now that I know I can depend on you.

You are a remarkable woman.

I thought we agreed you weren't going to come around here for a while.

You know, I called you last night. I tried to call you all morning.

You didn't answer.

Where were you, baby?

I spent the night at a hotel.

There were too many reporters staked out around here, and I said I needed to be

alone. Well, you need to be alone.

You know what I needed?

I needed to be with you.

You see, that's why we did this, remember? To be together.

Yeah, well, we can't be together, Max.

Remember, we agreed. We can't be together until everything settles down.

And when are things going to settle down with you filing a lawsuit? We didn't

agree to any damn lawsuit.

And now you're suing me.

That's just a formality.

I have to sue you to make my case against the city and the department.

Well, the case was closed, baby.

The board ruled it an accidental death. It was over, and now you've blown it

wide open again.

Now, what were you thinking about, baby?

I was thinking about us, man.

I was thinking about us and the life we can have with $10 million.

I don't want $10 million, baby.

I want you.

Doug was my friend.

I know.

And that's why you shot him.

Because you love me.

And you want to be with me.

And I want to be with you.

And we're gonna be together.

Run that by me again.

Transbiopia. It's a condition that can set in any time after 40. The lens of

eye gets a little more rigid and has difficulty focusing in on near things.

Max had to have the glasses to use a computer.

But his distance vision is not getting weaker.

It's getting sharper.

It's kind of like a camera lens stuck on telephoto.

Where are you going with this? Well, it's not just the glasses or the chicken

pox. It's that gun.

Max's gun.

Oh, yeah, he had it customized at the hilt.

Had those Pac -Mar sights, extended magazine, custom compensator. Wow,

sounds like a lot of expensive modifications.

That only a marksman would need.

Well, it certainly wasn't the gun of an old man with shaky hands. This was a gun

of a guy who knew exactly where he was shooting and who.

And Doug had that nice little nest egg of investments tucked away. I looked

a stock portfolio, around $400 ,000 in assets.

There's 400 ,000 reasons why Janine would want him dead.

You know, this could be the nearly perfect murder.

Max admitted he pulled the trigger. They ruled it an accident. Now Janine stands

to collect the life insurance, the death benefits, and maybe a hefty settlement.

And a few months down the road, she finds comfort in the arms of her

old friend, and they head off with their $10 million home free.

Make that $10 ,100 ,000.

Huh? Ten years ago, Janine turned a local Indiana beauty pageant into a sex

scandal. No.

Mm -hmm.

Supposedly, she seduced one of the three judges to get his vote.

Once she won, she turned around and sued the pageant for sexual harassment.

Charming. A $100 ,000 settlement on top of a crown.

Unfortunately, the man she seduced couldn't take the scandal, and he killed

himself.

Does anyone here detect a recurring theme?

I don't understand. These aren't the terms we agreed to.

These aren't even close.

That's true.

But our old fee agreement, 20 % of your settlement with the city, represented

our old deal.

When you were just a grieving widow whose husband had been gunned down in a

tragic but preventable accident, and I was just your lawyer, this agreement

represents our new deal.

Which is?

Oh, just your standard open -ended retainer for a client facing first

murder charges.

And her attorney who's going to make sure she'll never go to trial.

And when exactly did you decide that I would need a lawyer to represent me

against murder charges?

When I overheard you and Max Jupe discussing killing your husband.

You wouldn't by any chance be tape recording this conversation now, would

Daniel?

How much is this going to cost me?

Despite what you may have heard, not all lawyers are greedy.

What do you say about half?

Of everything?

Of your settlement with the city. Half of the ten million.

You can keep the change in his insurance and stocks.

Now why are you being so good to me?

Professional courtesy.

Why do you want to meet me here? You said we shouldn't be seeing together.

I have to see you.

What happened?

What happened?

Brent.

He knows about us. What happened to Doug?

He wants all the money from the settlement for himself.

He's going to turn me into the police.

Unless I sign over all the rights to him.

Brent.

He did this to you.

When I said no, he just went nuts.

What are we going to do, Max?

I mean, what we did, if he goes to the police, it's first -degree murder.

the death penalty.

But how are we going to stop him before he destroys us?

How are we going to stop him, Max?

So, what do you say, Doc? I get a clean bill of health?

Hey, you're over the chicken pox, Max.

It's weird, isn't it? 53 years old, I get a kid's disease.

Well, it's not all that strange.

You got it the way anybody picks up a communicable disease.

You caught it from somebody by being in close contact with them.

Yeah, probably some kid at a fast food restaurant or something.

Janine Vogel had chicken pox a few weeks ago.

What's that supposed to mean?

You're involved with her, Max.

And she's been using you.

You certainly have an active imagination.

All right, I'll stick with what I know.

You went into that building on purpose.

Normally, you would have stayed with the command truck.

And your vision past five feet is very, very good. And you can shoot as well as

any man on the force.

You know what, Sloan?

If you have something to say to me, just say it.

Janine killed her husband.

You were just the weapon she used.

Oh, boy.

I don't have to listen to this.

You're not the first one, you know, Max.

She's used her looks before.

What are you talking about?

A beauty pageant. When Janine was a teenager, she slept with a judge.

It was a scandal. The man committed suicide.

That little move got her about $100 ,000.

Uh -huh.

Let me tell you something.

Whatever Janine Vogel is, whatever she was, it doesn't matter to me.

What she is is a parasite who uses her body and her beauty to get what she

wants. You're in love with her, Max.

And so I suspect was Doug.

But you didn't need him anymore. She got rid of him.

Now she's going to do the same thing to you and move on.

And why in the name of God would she use me to kill Doug?

For his money. It's that simple.

Max, you were a good policeman for a very long time.

I'm asking you, just for a moment.

Stop looking at Janine as a man in love.

Look at her as a cop.

When you do, you'll see what a dangerous woman she is.

I think I got just what you need right here.

He's small caliber, but he packs a mean punch up close.

That's just perfect for the little lady.

That's not for me.

It's a gift for a friend.

How much?

Two hundred.

Cash be okay?

Cash be just fine.

Tell you what.

Just fill out these forms right here, and then I'll file them.

And when you come back... I've got a little favor to ask you.

What kind of favor?

Well, like I said, it's a gift for a friend.

I'd like to put his name on your forms and predate the purchase so I can take

the gun right now.

Would $1 ,000 be enough to cover that?

You know how much trouble I can get into for something like this?

And I know you're not a cop.

Oh.

Let's see.

How am I going to convince you that I'm not?

Well, you're not doing too bad.

Sorry I kept you waiting, but I'm due in court and I just changed secretaries

and it seems like everything I need is someplace else.

Please.

What can I do for you, Dr.

Livingston and Dr. Travis?

Well, um, we actually want to help you.

Yes, it's regarding a client of yours, Janine Vogel.

Something wrong with Ms. Vogel's health?

No, but if you're not careful, your health could be in jeopardy.

Some kind of threat?

Who sent you?

We work with Dr. Mark Sloan.

I think you're right. He probably thinks we're playing a trick on him. Why waste

our time?

Uh, Mr. Brent, how many handguns do you own?

None. I hate guns.

Well, guess what?

You own one now.

Janine.

Just on time.

I made a reservation at Della Bistro.

I think we're going to be late.

Something odd happened today.

Tell me about it later, okay?

I hope Della Bistro's holding our reservation.

Darn attendance.

Always leaves right at eight.

I know.

What do you mean?

Oh, my God.

They weren't lying.

Is

he dead?

He's dead.

And I'm next, right, Janine?

I'm sorry, Max.

Put your gun down.

So what's the scenario here, Janine?

I kill him, he kills me?

I'm going to tell the cops I overheard you threaten Daniel about the lawsuit,

saying it would ruin your life, destroy you.

He said something set you off. You shot him.

He shot you, self -defense.

You know, this really is your own fault.

Hmm. Now, how do you figure?

Well, none of this would have been necessary if Daniel hadn't found out

us.

Daniel wouldn't have found out about us if you'd stayed away from me like you

were supposed to. And if I had stayed away from you just like I was supposed

Janine, would we have lived happily ever after?

You and me and Doug's half -million -dollar stock portfolio?

Probably not.

But I wouldn't have had to kill you.

No one's killing anyone tonight, Janine.

Put it down.

It's over, Janine.

For both of us.

Use blanks.

Trent wouldn't believe that you'd actually arrange his murder, so...

We had to show him.

Now he'll testify against you.

They both will.

I hope you got a good deal, Max.

You have the right to remain silent.

Say again, I'm only going to begin.

Max came through in the end. Yeah.

Just wish I'd seen it sooner, realized what was happening. Maybe I could have

stopped him. I don't think so. Janine was like a drug to Max, and he was

addicted.

Smells good.

Oh, taste that for me, will you? Yeah.

What I don't get is how she got him so far off track.

There's a different man around her. The power of love.

It's not love, Jesse. Love brings out the best in you, not the worst.

What do you think?

Yeah, sex maybe, but not love.

I mean the sauce. What do you think?

Oh, it's great.
