Let me ask you something.

Before you put your platinum American Express right into the leather folder,

would you look at the bill?

It was $375 before the tip, which at 20 % would bring it to about $440.

Plus 5 % for the captain.

Oh, Lewis. What?

Oh, it just makes me uncomfortable.

I'm really, I'm extremely uncomfortable with spending that kind of money for

dinner.

I think all the pairs of shoes that I can buy for the kids. Hold it.

Don't go there, Kate.

Why not? It's the truth.

I'm rich.

I get bored to eat out every night like this.

It's not a matter of being able to afford it. Why don't you go to this

mean, if I spend half my life trying to strike it rich so I can spoil you in a

manner, let me do this, Kate.

That's not mine.

You don't want it? Fine. I'll take it.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Give it a whirl. No, this isn't right.

Pedal to the metal, babe.

You can't find me, you know.

Yeah, but it looks like I had fun trying.

I can't believe you're going back to work. Yeah, I can't believe that you

want to drive to Big Sur. Well, we did it before.

Oh, you mean the time you gave our lunch away to those surfers? An hour later, I

regretted it. Yeah, you did.

Boy, that was a lifetime ago.

Oh, yeah, we have history.

What else we got?

Was this your way of turning down my proposal?

I just ask questions, man.

Do you believe that I love you?

Mostly, I think you feel guilty.

You're trying to make up for those 18 years.

Admit it.

I didn't ask you to marry me out of guilt.

Sure. Why does it always have to be so hard with you, Kate?

Why can't you just take things at face value? Just realize that we're good

together. We need each other.

I've got to get upstairs. I've got 50 case files on my desk.

Try to understand, okay? I do understand.

I'll tell you what. Why don't you come over tomorrow night? I'll cook.

Dessert included?

Thanks for the ride, handsome.

Oh, no, no, no.

That's your car. No, no, no, no, no. Drive it, drive it. Let it sit here.

I can't let it sit here on the street. Lewis!

The victim is Ruth Selig, about 40.

Landlord said she's the best candidate you ever had.

What about Nick McKinnon? None that he's aware of. She had a best friend,

though, who was her roommate up until a year ago, Sharon Gerson.

It wasn't exactly clear on the nature of their friendship.

Any bad habits?

Yeah. She bakes cinnamon cookies for the building at Christmas.

So, Gary, please, make my morning. Tell me you got some prints, maybe the

shooters? Not quite. Inspector, the place looks to be spick and span. No

no fibers, no usable prints so far.

No sign of forced entry either.

Shooter follows her home from the grocery store last night.

Pushes inside, maybe panics.

Pops her before taking whatever he can get his hands on.

Seems unlikely. Nothing's missing. Not even out of place.

Maybe he was waiting inside for her.

A pro.

No muss, no fuss.

No leads.

You are an inspector, Ramirez.

Hi, I'm Magda Ramirez. Hi, I'm Sharon Garson. My boss told me you needed to

me right away. Yeah.

I'm afraid we have some very bad news.

I can't believe this. I mean, something this horrible.

My God.

We're very, very sorry about your friend.

For over 20 years.

Yes, since high school.

It's always been Ruth and me.

When was the last time that you spoke with her?

I don't know.

Two or three weeks ago.

Did she mention anything unusual?

No.

Sharon, did Ruth have a boyfriend?

How could something like this happen?

How?

Raina, what are you doing here?

Is everything okay? I was going to ask you that, Mommy.

So, I was shopping last night and I found this gorgeous sweater that I

would make a perfect gift for Wanda.

And I went to the school to drop it off.

Come to find out she doesn't work there anymore. Imagine my surprise.

Right.

She's made some changes.

What's going on, Mommy? Where's Wanda?

Well, Wanda doesn't live here anymore.

She's, um... staying with a friend in town.

Oh, man.

Well, I have been meaning to...

Should have immediately.

Did you guys have a fight?

The last night she was here, we both lashed out at each

other. Said some ugly thing.

Hurtful thing.

Oh, Mommy, words can be taken back.

I've tried to talk to her, but she won't return my calls.

Oh, you just had a fight. That's all.

It was more than just a fight.

She doesn't love me.

Hey, forensics is still coming up empty other than a few smudge fingerprints

they can't identify.

And Ruth's ex -boyfriends aren't going to be any good to us. The three guys

she dated last year all had alibis. Any of them professional hitmen?

They didn't identify themselves as such, you see.

In the meantime, I subpoenaed the phone company. Do you guys mind taking a walk

over and looking over the Ludd? No problem.

Barbara Dashwood tells me that she saw you and Louis at La Trobe.

Are you two back together?

We're seeing each other.

She says he hasn't lost anything in the looks department.

Are you blushing? Oh, please. I haven't blushed in 20 years.

Come on, Cynthia.

You didn't ask me to lunch to discuss my ex -husband.

All right.

You got me.

I asked you to lunch to see how you would feel about assuming some added

responsibilities.

Oh, well, my plate is pretty full right now.

Talking about a much bigger plate. Kate, how would you feel about becoming the

chief of police?

I didn't realize the position was even open.

Wells is about to announce his retirement, not public knowledge.

A couple of us thought you would be the ideal candidate to replace him.

I mean, it's high time that a woman assumes the top spot.

Well, I agree with that, but why would the mayor choose man?

Hardly a known commodity.

Well, not if he had to make the decision today, but if we got you in the game

early enough, we could educate him.

So how much time do I have to decide about this?

Not a lot. We'd have to get you out there meeting and greeting and lobbying

constituents that the mayor would want to consult.

You and I know that the department needs fixing.

It's not going to happen without a leader like you.

Hey, Chris. Hey, Nate.

CD? You saved us the trip. We were just about ready to hunt you down. Listen,

I'm so sorry. I haven't gotten those witness statements to you. Okay, look,

been busy. I'll get them down to you next week. Don't worry about it. Take

time. We actually wanted to talk to you about something else.

Your number kept coming up on a murder victim's phone record.

Who's? A woman by the name of Ruth Selig.

What? You're kidding me.

When was she killed?

Last night.

Why was she calling you so much?

To discuss her case, I guess. Ruth Selleck was sexually assaulted three

ago.

We're supposed to go to trial next week.

Thank God I got a testimony on tape.

I told him that I was not interested and that it was so wrong.

But he wouldn't listen.

And before I knew it, he was on top of me.

Ruth Selig made this two hours after it happened.

She's the only witness in the case.

Consent's the only issue here.

Who's the perpetrator? Two striker by the name of Paul Green.

He goes down for Ruth Selig's rape. He's looking at a life sentence.

If Ruth's dead, he walks.

And the alleged rape occurred in the apartment of Sharon Garson.

Ruth's best friend.

Paul Green's girlfriend.

Small world.

You lied to us, Sharon.

I didn't lie.

All right, you know what? Why don't we just put you in front of the grand jury,

all right? And let them decide whether you told us the truth.

You don't understand.

What's not to understand, Sharon? You just forgot to tell us that Ruth Selig

raped by your boyfriend in your apartment. I mean, didn't you think that

important? You just let me finish a thought here.

When you told me about Ruth, I was overwhelmed.

My head was spinning.

That thing.

That happened in my apartment.

My mind just didn't go there.

But I swear I wasn't holding back on purpose.

All right, Sharon, we'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now.

But you've got to come clean with us about how Paul Green is sitting in

jail accused of raping your best friend.

I... I met Paul about a year ago.

He was working out on the stairmaster next to me at the gym, and...

We started talking, and one thing led to another.

And he told you about his criminal record?

Yes.

He's always been very honest with me.

I'd never dated anyone like Paul.

Sure, he had the past he's not proud of, and at first I was a little wary, of

course, but then I got to know him, and I felt very

comfortable. He listens to me.

He really listens.

When did he meet Ruth?

After about a month.

You know, when I knew Paul and I weren't just a fling.

We'd go out all the time, the three of us.

I never... You never what?

I never thought anything like this would happen between Ruth and Paul.

What exactly do you think happened?

We were all going out to dinner.

I got tied up at work, so I told both of them to meet up at my place.

And that's when he raped her.

No, that's not what happened.

Paul's not that kind of man.

He respects women.

He would never take advantage like that. Sharon, when a woman says that she's

been raped, she needs to be taken seriously.

But you don't know Paul.

He's changed.

He loves me.

He would never do anything to hurt me.

You know, I liked Ruth.

A lot.

I'm not happy she's dead.

Just don't start crying on us, okay?

I'm telling you, Ruth being killed is a coincidence.

You're giving me way too much credit if you think I was behind that in any way.

I'm sitting in here for God's sake.

Well, we've seen your sheet.

Don't tell us you don't know people who know people.

Yeah, sure.

I've known my share of people who play dirty, but that's all in the past.

Where have I heard that before?

Yeah, well, I guess if I was in your shoes, I'd be doubting me too.

But you know what?

I'm flat broke.

Hiring someone to kill, it takes some serious cash.

You call in a favor, Paul?

I don't have that kind of juice.

Besides, I wasn't going to be convicted of rape.

Because Ruth made the whole thing up.

No.

Because Ruth and I just got our signals crossed.

And I know the jury would have figured that out.

Right from the start, we liked each other.

We were very friendly.

And that night, waiting for Sharon to come home, Ruth and I had a couple of

drinks and... I could just tell from the look in her eyes.

That she wanted it. Right.

Is that what you're saying?

I think she wanted to be with me, yes.

I definitely did not force myself on her.

Hey.

Sorry I'm late. Just had to go to the travel agent.

Planning a trip?

Planning a honeymoon.

Anyone I know? Hey, look. I woke up this morning. I looked in the mirror. I

said, Louis, I am not taking no for an answer.

Check. I'm going to win this, Kate. Whatever I have to do, whatever I have

prove, you will marry me, and damn it to hell, you will be happy ever after.

Mind if I have my Chinese chicken salad first?

Let's make it two.

How about an African safari?

I don't tend well.

Yeah, I remember, but these have queen -size beds, they have down comforters,

they have exclusive tubs. Hey, Kate.

Hey, Mitch.

How you doing? Lewis Perillo, Mitch Coleman.

Hey. How's it going?

Third daughter just finished Stanford, so I'm doing just fine.

Wow. Congratulations.

What I hear, you're the one deserving congratulations.

Chief of police.

Kate, that's pretty damn fancy.

It's only a remote possibility.

I mean, these things are not set in stone.

Yeah? Well, my sources say you are a very hot candidate.

I know the cops on the street would be very happy with one of their own sitting

in a top spot.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind, Mitch.

Lewis? Yeah?

I'll see you around, Kate.

Cheetah police, huh?

Cynthia Rogers approached me yesterday.

I didn't mention it to you because I'm not even sure how I feel about it. And

how do you feel?

I'm thinking about it. How could I not be?

Where are you going?

You know something, Kate?

I must be the biggest sap in the universe.

Well, now that's not true.

Yeah.

I'm planning a honeymoon, and you're sitting here planning a living. I'm

planning nothing. Now, would you just please just sit down and let's talk

it? Sorry.

Lost my appetite.

Raina. Ma.

Hi, baby.

Hi.

Is your roommate home?

You talking about Jane?

Jane. Nice name.

She's at work.

So does Eve know about you and Jane?

Yes, Eve knows that Jane and I have been good friends for over ten years.

Friends? Look, I didn't leave Eve for Jane, if that's what you're thinking.

I'm just staying here until it's time for me to go away on my trip.

Well, where are you going?

I'm going to Europe. My dream vacation.

Well, good for you.

You sound angry with me.

How am I supposed to feel, Ma?

I stopped by the school to give you your birthday present. I find out you don't

work there anymore from a stranger.

Then I find out that my parents are splitting up after 30 years. Only nobody

thought to tell me. You're absolutely right. You should have been told.

This is very hard for both of us.

I'd feel a lot more comfortable if you'd let us work this out by ourselves.

Well, forgive me, Ma, but you're not doing a very good job at it.

Why, Ma?

How is this happening? Why?

Let me just say that we've been drifting, okay? Since when?

It's been a few years. Since I left the house?

Something like that. Oh, Ma, that's classic.

syndrome. Lots of marriages go through it. Some adjustment when the parents,

kids start to cool, but you've got to please don't give up. Raina, what's

on between me and Eve is a lot more serious than that. It started way before

left home.

I don't understand.

I've been talking to Eve forever about selling the condo. I want to move back

into the city. I want to be around people. I want to...

Go out at night, have some culture, have a life.

But she won't budge. All she wants to do is stay at home and paint.

She loves her studio.

And she says that if we move into the city, we won't be able to afford

that's comparable.

Well, she's probably right.

See, you just missed my entire point.

This is not about who's right, not about who's wrong. This is about the fact

that we have grown apart.

No, it's difficult.

But it's done.

It's over.

I'm sorry.

That was the DA's office. Paul Green's attorneys already filed a motion to

dismiss the rape charge, seeing as the only witness is now dead.

Can't they just use the videotape statement? Believe me, they'd love to.

never had the opportunity to cross -examine, so it probably wouldn't be

admitted. Then there's no physical evidence independently establishing a

So we just walk?

Unless we can tie him to Ruth Billard's murder.

He's had more than his share of visitors. He's being locked up for the

Anyone interesting?

His girlfriend's been a regular.

You figure her for getting involved in a murder plot?

From what we've seen, she'd do just about anything for that guy.

Well, hitmen don't work for free, so...

Follow the money. Maybe we can connect some dots.

We should get back from the bank.

In two years, the most money Sharon Garson has taken out of her account at

one time is $200.

Last Tuesday, she took out $1 ,500, mostly in large bills.

I can't wait to hear her explanation for that one.

You didn't return my calls. I was worried.

Sorry.

No, not sorry.

I'm angry, Kate.

When were you going to tell me you were approached at your induction ceremony?

Can I come in?

Look, I had an exploratory conversation with a member of the police commission.

I'm sure they had the same discussion with at least ten other people.

I don't care how many other people you had a discussion with.

All I know is that they had a discussion with you, and you didn't mention it to

me.

I didn't take it that seriously.

Either way, I deserve to be told immediately.

I felt like an idiot this afternoon hearing it from somebody else.

I guess I've gotten used to making these kinds of decisions by myself.

That's going to have to change.

It's my point exactly.

I'm kind of set in my ways. I'm not sure I can change.

Well, I guess you're going to have to ask yourself if it's worth it.

If I'm worth it.

Good night, Kate.

You're throwing me out?

As a matter of fact, yes.

I don't need a lawyer.

Paul and I had nothing to do with Ruth getting killed.

You know, I wish we could believe that, Sharon.

But your track record stinks.

You already lied to us once.

I explained that.

No, Sharon, you had an excuse.

That doesn't mean we bought it.

I don't know what you people want from me.

Okay.

We know that you took $1 ,500 out of your bank account Tuesday morning.

That money had nothing to do with what happened to Ruth. Karen, enough!

You have never withdrawn anything close to $1 ,500 before at one time. We've

been through your banking records.

Your boyfriend put you up to it, didn't he?

He had you make the payment.

Yeah.

That's it? She's giving him up?

We'll see.

for Paul's protection in jail.

What? He was being assaulted by gang members.

Paul made contact with a friend of his on the outside.

Someone those gang people would listen to.

And for $1 ,500, they agreed to leave him alone.

I was uncomfortable getting involved with all this, but the thought of Paul

getting hurt or worse, I just couldn't live with that.

Who'd you pay the money to, Sharon?

I don't know.

Paul told me where to leave the envelope. I didn't see who picked it up.

Look, no matter what, Ruth was my friend.

And I may not have believed her about Paul, but I had nothing to do with her

dying. You've got to believe that.

Made sense to me.

Well, I'm not buying.

Still, $1 ,500 is kind of low for a contract on someone's life.

I say we look into the jail protection thing. If it doesn't check out, we can

take another run at her.

Good luck.

Paul Green's got the wool pulled down pretty far over her eyes. No matter what

he had Sharon do, she's not moving off that story.

I don't care how great this guy was in bed. If we're right, she actually agreed

to pay for a hit on her best friend.

I don't know what the hell's wrong with people today.

You know, from what I can tell, Sharon Garson has probably had two boyfriends

her whole life.

She's finally found her keeper, and she is not letting go.

Hey, Ren.

Hey, Captain.

You okay?

Yeah.

I was going to go out for some fresh air.

Some personal stuff.

Want to talk about it?

No, that's okay.

You're probably too busy to...

They think they're my little problem.

Actually, I was thinking I could use some fresh air myself.

I'll grab my cup.

I'm not saying that they don't have the right to live their lives.

But come on, they could have told me what was going on.

Well, that's kind of a tough discussion for a parent. Still, I deserve to know.

My daughter was always trying to work out why Lewis and I got divorced.

I tried to be as truthful with her as I possibly could be.

I always took into account her feelings for her father.

I always felt like I disappointed her.

At least she didn't act like she didn't exist.

Is that what's bothering you?

Yeah, that's part of it.

It's just, you know, my whole life, whenever I needed them for anything,

they were always there for me.

I mean, literally.

They went out and adopted.

Now I might be losing.

It's always been the three of us, you know?

Our little unfaithful family.

You know, when I lost my virginity, Wanda and Eve got me a special cake.

Really? Yeah.

Wow. Yeah, they always did things their way.

Thing is, Captain, I wouldn't change the way they raised me for the world.

God, I just really don't understand why Wanda left.

Well, I wouldn't waste a lot of time on that.

Why not?

I mean, maybe it's not too late. Maybe I can still do something before she goes

on that trip.

Raina. You know, the only people who know what's going on in a relationship

the two people who are in it, if they're lucky.

People change.

The person who we were so happy to just have the hell out of our life suddenly

looks like just what we're missing.

Talking about love is an elusive thing.

Hey, Captain, so far Sharon's story does check out. Apparently some gang members

have been hassling Paul Green pretty badly in lockups.

So the $1 ,500 could have been protection money.

Poor Paul and his girlfriend are smarter than we think and using the gang

problem as a cover. We can't prove that until we find out who she paid the money

to. You think she's holding out on that?

Can't prove that either.

Well, I'm going to have to tell the DA that we can't tie Paul Green to the

murder. We need more time.

You know, I was thinking about the tape of Ruth Selig.

And if we can't use it against Paul Green, why don't we try and use it

Sharon Gerson?

I couldn't stop him.

And he raped me.

And he kept hurting me so much.

And I started to cry.

And I screamed for him to stop, please.

I wouldn't breathe a word of this to anybody.

But he didn't care.

And the whole time I was thinking about Sharon.

And how could she be with such a man?

How could he have fooled her like that?

And how was I going to tell her?

She only knew the truth.

And then he kept telling me how good I smelled.

And when it was over, he told me to get dressed and get the hell out of there.

That he and Sharon would be having dinner without me.

Paul always tells me,

How could I smell?

Look, Sharon, we understand what you're going through.

On one hand, you care about Paul. He's been good to you.

But you also have to consider what he did to your best friend.

And I don't think there's any doubt that he raped her.

I didn't want to believe her. I couldn't.

What did Paul ask you to do?

He told me to get the $1 ,500 ready to protect him.

Yeah, we know all that.

The day I was supposed to get the money, Paul told me the amount had changed.

He needed $5 ,000 to get the job done.

But you only withdrew $1 ,500 from your savings account.

That's all I had in there.

I control some accounts in my father's name.

The extra $3 ,500 was from my father's account.

I killed Ruth.

Oh.

I should have believed her when she told me about the rape.

I should have believed my friend.

Paul led me on, didn't he?

That extra money wasn't for his protection at all.

That $5 ,000 most likely bought you a murder.

No!

I swear I told Sharon to pay $1 ,500. That's all we talked about.

She produced the bank withdrawal records, Paul.

She took out $5 ,000.

Well, not for me.

See, that's going to be a problem, Paul.

Because you put this whole thing in motion. Sharon was only doing your

No. All I wanted to do was be left alone in here.

Sure, at first. And then you got a better idea.

Once you realized your girlfriend would do whatever you wanted, you decided to

up the ante.

Hey.

I know what this looks like, but it's not what happened.

Well, you're right about what this looks like. Because murder for hire carries

special circumstances.

Even a death penalty.

Oh, man.

You're getting way out of control.

Make it easier on yourself, Paul. Just be truthful with us.

Admit you ordered the hit and we'll talk to the DA about your cooperation.

I can't admit to what never happened. Well, then somebody is lying to us. I

don't know why Sharon took out $5 ,000. That's not what we talked about. Why

would she lie to us, Paul?

I don't know. Ask her.

Right now, it is your word against hers.

Why don't we break the tie?

Tell us who she paid the money to.

I'll even tell you where to find him.

You know, if Green really ordered this hit, you wouldn't expect him to give up

the hitter's name so easily.

Well, we did have him backed into a corner.

What if he's telling the truth?

What if Sharon went out on her own and put together the plan to kill Ruth?

I mean, think about it.

Right? Sharon's life has never been better. She finally gets this great guy,

her best friend, Ruth, is also part of the picture.

Right. And then she finds out that Ruth and Paul had sex, and she doesn't know

which one to believe, so all she knows is that she feels betrayed.

So she seizes the opportunity, gets a little more into the plot, changes the

deal, and arranges a murder.

And now that Ruth is dead, Sharon leads us right down the primrose path to Paul

Green. That's really perverse.

Or really genius.

Mom, I sure hope you like orange spice, because that's all I have. Orange spice

is just fine. I'm just so happy you invited me over.

Well, you know, with everything going on, I thought it'd be a good idea for us

just to get together and talk.

You know, Raina, I've been thinking about what you said.

And maybe you're right. Maybe all that Wanda and I need is better

So she'll go away on her trip and she'll have plenty of time to think and relax.

And then she'll probably get a new perspective. And when she gets back,

things might be different. They might be a whole lot better. I hope so.

Chocolate chip scones, still your favorite? Thank you.

Come on in.

Hello, Eve.

Okay, so whose brilliant idea was this?

Mine.

I wish you'd talk to me first.

I just thought it'd be nice for us to get together, drink some tea, and talk.

Did you really?

Obviously, you two are having a tough time right now, and I thought if you

air your mutual concerns...

Maybe there'd be a way to find some common ground.

Our concerns are none of your damn business. Excuse me, but they are my

business. I'm a member of this family, and I have a right to be involved.

She has a point, Wanda. You put her up to this, didn't you? No, Ma, it was all

my idea.

Well, you know what? You need to grow up already.

Excuse me?

Raina, you are 26 years old. You have a life of your own, and the last time I

checked, you hadn't figured that all out.

Well, maybe not.

But at least I still care about my family.

Raina, what you care about is what you feel and how you want things to be, not

what really is.

This is not all my fault. No!

Because it's all my fault. Because I don't want to find a new place to live,

I don't want to find a whole new place to do my art. Who is crying about losing

your studio? Your art is the only thing that matters. Is that what this is all

about, is my art? Because if it is, then we still have something to talk about.

I'm willing to compromise.

Ma, he's reaching out here.

I'm not stupid, Raina. I know exactly what she's doing. So reach back. Don't

tell me what to do.

Our problem is a lot bigger than what she does, where we live, and what I

Our problem is who we've become.

That's why you try and fix things, especially if you love someone.

You see, that's it. That's exactly it. Don't go there, Wanda. No, I want to. I

have to to make her understand.

Please do.

Even I've been together forever, and of course I love her, but not the way you

think. We're like sisters.

We're buddies.

There's no passion here. There hasn't been in years. Well, go on your trip.

when you come back, you might find out that you have found some of your old

feelings for me. Eve, you know that is not going to happen.

Mom, please.

Don't do this. Don't do what? Say what's true?

Deal with what is real?

Eve, I don't love you anymore.

I still love you.

I know.

But it's not working.

This has nothing to do with you. I'm always going to be your mother. I'm

going to love you.

You've got to let it go. You've got to let this go. You can't fix us. Mom,

Don't go, Mom. Please.

Mom.

This is all your fault.

My fault?

You pushed her to go places she didn't need to go and say things she didn't

to say.

Mom, look, it's not over, Mom.

Thanks for all your help.

Hey, guys.

Bad news.

We checked the name and address Paul Green gave her. Yeah, the landlady said

this Bobby York left town two days ago. No forwarding address. Said he didn't

know when he was going to be back.

Yeah, FBI circulating a UFAP warrant for his arrest.

Whoever got him to kill Ruth was smart and made sure Bobby wasn't around to

his son a story.

Well, that's the plan. But maybe Bobby got greedy.

Maybe $5 ,000 wasn't enough to shut him up.

You got something up your sleeve?

Let's put Bobby and Sharon together and see what happens.

Mr.

York?

You got the money?

It's all here. $10 ,000.

For your keeping quiet.

And your getting out of town for good this time.

San Francisco Police. Hey,

hold it right there!

Sharon Carson, you're under arrest for the murder of Ruth Selig. You have the

right to remain silent.

Anything you say, Cannon, we'll be held against you.

I gave it all up. She blamed them both.

Doesn't know which one she hates more, Ruth for seducing Paul or him for going

for it. I tell you, we're not going to get much remorse out of her.

She's definitely going to her grave believing they both got what they

I think Sharon got a little more than she bargained for. That was county

Paul Green's dead.

He got shanked by a gang member in the jail's cafeteria.

That's what she planned all along.

After all, she never did pay that protection money.

I messed everything up.

I should have listened to you, Captain.

Well, you're not the first person that didn't listen to me, and you won't be

last.

You doing okay?

Oh, you know me. I roll with the punches.

You do?

Of course.

I'm fine.

Good night, Captain. Good night.

Bye. Hey, Lou.

Hey, you.

Cabernet Reserve.

Want to know how much it cost?

No.

I want you to open it and start pouring.

Oh, the girl's got it.

I'm sure you're not breaking some division policy here.

Nope. I'm off the clock.

So, you know how you're always talking about me being a dreamer?

Yeah.

I'm not always in a bad way, though.

Well, it's true.

Nothing was ever good enough for me.

I always thought there had to be some pot of gold on the other side.

So, tell me the truth, kid.

Am I still dreaming?

Is this marriage thing going to happen?

I dream about things too, you know.

The fact that there's someone on this planet who's thinking about me, who

me to be happy, buy me things.

It's wonderful.

But there's this chance for me to run an entire department. I would be the first

woman in the city to ever do that, you know.

And in a way, it's what I've been working toward my whole life.

I know.

And you've always wanted to travel, and now you can.

How great is that?

But this is an opportunity for me that's just not going to come again.

I'm going to have to put the trip on hold.

Okay.

You want to be chief of police?

I want to be first lady.

Or whatever they call the husband of the top cop.

Let me tell you something.

I will eat rubber chicken every night if that's what it takes.

I'm going to write the first check to your campaign.

You fill in the amount.

Is that what you want?

The only thing I know for sure is I want to be with you.

The question is, do you want to be with me?

No strength?

Maybe a couple of diamond bracelets.
