You've never been.

And I've plenty of places left to see.

I'm going to catch a cab.

Have you ever seen the Himalayan foothills of Nepal?

One is so encompassed by the earth and yet so close to the heaven. You feel you

could pull down a star, put it in your pocket.

I don't wish to appear horrible.

But I would gladly give you a ride home.

Whoa, look at that car.

It's all right.

I'm a police officer.

Raped? She was tied with this.

I thought this guy had gone away.

I guess he hasn't.

I had the lab run a test on the rope.

Heavy traces of sodium chloride.

Seawater?

A sailor on leave, maybe?

Not just any sailor.

The lab says the hemp fibers are made from a Eurasian plant as opposed to a

Central American plant, plus the fibers are more coarse, like the kind of

nautical ropes used in the Eastern Bloc.

That's why it's been a year since his last attack. He's been out to sea.

The other victim said he had an Eastern European accent.

Yeah, same M .O.

He met them at upscale bars. He's a real charm or expensive car.

If this is the thing, I... You wanted to see me, boss?

Uh, yeah.

Check the harbor schedule for the last two weeks. We're looking for ships to

dock from Czechoslovakia, Turkey, what was Yugoslavia, that area.

You got it. And see if any of those were in port a little over a year ago.

Right.

You know, one thing doesn't make sense.

How can an Eastern Bloc sailor afford a 70K Porsche?

Maybe it was rented or borrowed so he could use it as a law.

Not much to go on from Stacy Winchester's description.

Nice smile.

He's handsome.

Beauty's in the eye of the beholder.

Let's go see if she can tell us what her eyes beheld.

How do you feel?

I'm all bandaged up under here. I feel like a mummy.

If you don't mind, I'd like to go over the statement you made last night.

I've already told you everything.

On the major points, yes.

But sometimes it's the little things you can remember that will give us a lead.

I don't go out to bars that often. I'm not... It's not me.

I had a couple of drinks and the music and everything.

I really don't remember.

Look, Stacy, I know this is difficult, but... What do you think?

This is your fault?

It's not your fault. What happened? It's his.

You accepted a ride home with a guy.

You thought you would use your best judgment.

And just because you got in that car doesn't mean that anything that happened

afterwards is your fault.

Doesn't mean he had the right to force you to have sex.

Piece of miserable bastard.

You want to get him or what?

You feel alone?

You feel...

Ashamed. You feel angry.

I don't blame you.

Now, you can sit there and wish it'd all go away.

Or you can help yourself by helping us.

Which is it?

I want to help.

Good.

That's good, Stacy.

Because there are three other victims.

Two of them have left town, and one won't even talk about it.

I want him put away.

You draw?

Yeah, I'm a graphic artist.

Draw me a picture.

Every line you put down on that paper, you're taking back what he took from

This is outstanding.

We'll have this in every single bar by tonight.

Tony, I just want to get something straight.

It was your call back there, and I... Just jumped in. I didn't mean to step on

any toes.

I don't give a damn who does the job as long as it's done right.

You were clutch back there.

You saw how to get to her on a level I couldn't.

I guess a man can't know. He can be sympathetic.

But unless a man can be the victim, he just can't know.

Tony, come on, it's your turn to change her.

Tony.

Please.

Dad, I love her, but she's killing me.

Twelve years ago, pal, oh, mine, I was up to get you. I apologize for ever

crying.

Where'd this come from?

Grandpa Metzger.

Did he come by?

Uh -huh. Came in the mail.

Oh, honey.

Yeah,

I know. I know.

Last time I saw that expression was Night of the Living Dead.

Sarah, 2 .30, 4 .30, every night.

My sister puts my nephew on top of the clothes dryer.

The warmth and vibration puts him right out.

Really? That works?

Honey, half of what's wrong with the world could be cured with a little

and vibration.

The dryer, huh?

On the dryer.

Not in the drawing.

Boss.

Boss. I'll get the diapers.

It's okay, boss. I've been potty trained since I'm 12.

12?

Eight. What is it, Stan?

I checked with the Port Authority on ships coming in from Eastern Europe. I

think I found what you're looking for.

Captain?

Commissioner? This is Madison.

This is Captain Keurig off the ship Norfest.

He says he's the only one here who speaks English.

Just a little.

Right, just enough to get by. Have you explained to him the situation?

Mm -hmm.

I give to you cooperation.

Thanks. I give to you appreciation, Captain.

So one second from the end, looking down.

Let's see what kind of a smile he's got.

Captain, that man, second from the end, can you account for him two nights ago

at midnight?

No.

Are you familiar with this knot?

And this?

Why did you say you were familiar with this?

You ask if he is familiar, yes?

This lanyard knot, we learned it very young.

It's not used on big ships.

This is for a steel boat.

Yacht.

Excuse me, sir?

Have you seen this man anywhere around here?

You have an accent.

Hello?

Hello?

Excuse me. Hi.

I'm Mr. Madison.

This is Ms. Palmer. We're insurance reps from the Fads nightclub.

I'm afraid one of our valets may have dinged up your red Porsche, and we're

to discuss a settlement.

You do own a red Porsche, license plate LLQ118?

It's true, I drive one, but that's not my license number.

I know.

It's mine.

I'm Police Commissioner Scali.

You're under arrest for rape.

Sexual assault and battery.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say... No, you don't read

rights. I'll tell you my rights.

According to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, you have no right

detain me. I am Immanuel Bolchek, Undersecretary to my country's

well as Secretary of Security, and as such, I'm entitled to full diplomatic

immunity.

So if you don't mind... So who?

We're not just walking away.

Diplomatic immunity is a fundamental principle of international law.

Mr. Stack, can we cut through the diplomies? I got a multiple rapist. I

in jail. It's that simple. You're an armchair diplomat.

You sit there watching CNN.

You see Hussein defy the UN, you say, get rid of the guy.

You see a trade imbalance with the Japanese, and you say, hey, don't deal

these guys.

I'm not talking about trade imbalances.

One man has raped four women. That has nothing to do with world politics.

The reality is, if we lock up Bolchek today, tomorrow our ambassador's wife

is out for a nice drive along the Danube. She gets an offender, Ben.

She finds herself in prison on trumped -up charges.

We protest, they protest, and suddenly the economic deal we've been working on

for years is in jeopardy.

I know this flagrant abuse of immunity is rare. I also know that no government

wants a rapist representing its country.

You know the channels.

Help me present my case. Maybe get them to waive Bolchek's immunity.

You'll have to be ironclad.

It's slam dunk.

It'll take time.

How long? I want this guy off my streets.

I'll get in contact with Ambassador Trentino.

I'll get back to you.

I'll be waiting.

Commissioner. I have to tell you, an immunity waiver is almost never granted.

Almost never.

I can live with those odds.

Oh, there are plenty of places I have not traveled.

But perhaps one day... Sarah,

please.

Honey, I know.

So much for the delicate cycle.

It was nice of your father to give her the teddy bear.

Give? You mean send.

He sent her a present.

Rage. Tony, the baby is two months old and he hasn't even seen her.

We named her after my mother and he hasn't seen her. The UPS guy knows what

Metzger's granddaughter looks like.

I'm sure he wanted to.

His job keeps him on the road.

I've heard of Tony. I've heard of the 30 years. King of the road. Gotta lead the

company in sales.

He is never around, so he just sends a present. The bigger the occasion, the

bigger the gift. And he thinks that makes it all right.

It's not so much for me anymore.

Our kids are lucky enough to have a grandfather.

And he is lucky enough to have them. And he doesn't even...

King of the road.

Four o 'clock in the morning, a baby on the dryer, and we're having a heart -to

-heart.

Tony, I told this man. This woman, this Stacey Winchester, arrest her.

What'd she do?

She ruined my property.

She spray -painted rapist on my car.

Good for her.

Anyone see her do it?

What does that matter? I want her jailed. And I want you jailed. But for

it's not gonna happen.

So if only your car got tagged, I'd say you were still way ahead.

There are many differences between our countries.

But some things, I am certain, are the same.

Perhaps now the police will listen to me.

Lucille!

Send in an officer. Closest one will do.

Gordy?

Sir? Gordy, Mr. Volchek just offered me money for police preferential treatment.

Wanted you to witness.

Now I can add bribery of a police officer to my case against you.

You can't get me and you know it.

You are the weakling in the wind.

If it's the word I think you mean, let's just say you're whistling me off.

Bag it and tag it.

It's got to be part of our case against this guy.

You have no case.

Yet.

But I can stop it cold if you try anything again.

We are on you.

Hey, got a second?

What do you want?

You know, this color would look great on the hood of a Porsche.

I guess I have to deny it, seeing I don't have diplomatic immunity.

Off the record, I would have liked to chip in for the paint.

On the record, just let us handle this. Landing yourself in jail isn't going to

help you.

And what will?

The justice system?

They basically said, go ahead, bullshit, help yourself to a piece of Stacy. It's

on us.

And you, detective, are one of us.

I really resent that.

Resent it?

I'll tell you what. You go out tonight and have a guy tie you up while you beg

him to stop and then have him dump you in the bushes. Then we can talk about

resent.

That'll just be the starting point.

You can go now.

Just stay away from him.

Don't let him hurt you even more than he already has.

At this point, the idea is just to hurt him.

I'm sorry to just drop by.

I hope it's okay with Rachel.

The baby's asleep for a change.

Rachel's trying to get some disease while she can.

Sid, are you all right?

You're rubbing off on me.

What, the opera?

I was at the FBI.

I never thought much about the victims.

Just my own progress.

I spoke to Stacy.

It didn't help.

She thinks we let her down.

I know we did.

We can't take care of this. I think she's going to try herself.

We're going at this on all fronts. She has to be patient.

He's not in jail.

You know how impatient that makes us feel. What about her?

While she's cowering in her locked apartment, Volchek's probably out there

dancing at that bar tonight.

Well, if he is,

I've got Kelly and Hartley there to keep an eye on him.

That's all we can do right now.

Giovanni was a rapist and they wrote beautiful music about him.

Giovanni ends up in hell.

He didn't have immunity.

Yeah? Boss, this is Stan.

Stacy Winchester just walked in. You want us to get her out of here?

Sit tight. We'll be right there.

i'll be right back hi i'm jeff

PD man, be advised, you're interacting with a man suspected of raping four

women, each of whom he encountered in just this manner.

I will wait.

I will wait until you realize I am out of reach.

Stacy, I understand why you tried it.

But if you try it again, I'll lock you up again, and I'll see to it you don't

make bail.

A lot for his protection.

For yours.

We'll get him.

Thanks a lot for your help, Commissioner.

And pass that along to Sid Madison, too.

Bye.

Tony? There's a Mr. Stack from the State Department on line two.

Scali. Got your meeting with the Ambassador.

Welcome to our country's estate.

I am Anna.

So, you would like to discuss our Mr. Bolchek?

I'm sorry. I hope there hasn't been a miscommunication.

But our State Department has led me to believe that I would be meeting with

Ambassador Trentino.

I have the ambassador's confidence.

Who are you?

The general undersecretary.

Look,

no offense, but I've had it with this runaround from your people as well as

mine. I can't believe everyone's dragging their heels for a rapist.

Oh, finally we get to the subject. Please.

Our country has studied your charges, and frankly...

Find it a flimsy case.

Bolchek was out of the country when the rape stopped.

They started when he came back.

Witnesses saw him at the club with the victim who identified him.

A doctor's exam determined injuries from forced sex.

Forced? She got in the car with him willingly.

It's simply her word against ours.

Ours? You mean his?

Anna, you work with Bolchek. A guy like that... has never come on to you, never

made an unwelcomed advance?

Tell me, whose word do you believe?

What I believe does not matter.

In my country, we still stand behind our men.

In this country, we step forward and tell the ambassador the truth.

At least let me have a chance to talk to him.

All I'm asking is that Bolchek go on trial.

Suspend his immunity.

Come along, Mr. Antino.

We must be at the UN in one hour.

Why didn't you tell me you were the ambassador's daughter?

Would it have given me more importance to you being the daughter of an

man?

No, but... Mr. Scully, upon examination of your evidence...

We see no need to further discuss this matter.

Bye -bye now.

So, you're saying it's over?

No. I'm saying we have to get Ambassador Trentino's attention.

I'm looking at the State Department guide for law enforcement officers.

and it says that people in Bolchek's position can't be detained or

However, the law can intervene for violations of public safety.

All we can do is cite him, and he doesn't even have to pay.

Well, Bolchek will have to stop and wait for the ticket.

We'll cite him every ten feet.

For what?

Walking down the street?

Eastbridge is 260 years old.

There are a lot of weird laws still on the books that protect public safety.

Here, I'm breaking one right now for being alone with a woman other than my

in an enclosed area.

See?

Commissioner, I am shocked at our department's leniency in enforcing the

I'll get our men right on it.

Did you just sneeze?

I am late for an important meeting. Article 10, paragraph 3 of the

Public Safety Code, year of our Lord, 1813, strictly prohibits sneezing on all

public streets.

I'm going to have to give you a citation.

You're serious?

No time for joking when public safety is concerned.

You know who I am. I have diplomatic immunity.

Yes, sir, but I still have the right to present you with a citation for

sneezing. It will be submitted to your embassy.

You're telling me you waste my time because I... Sneeze and spread germs?

Oh, no, sir. Article 10, paragraph 3 was designed to keep people from sneezing

and scaring the horses pulling the wagons.

Don't move.

Put the pockets on your pants, Snitch, or you're in a lot of trouble.

What? Eastbridge Code of 1920.

Forbid trouser pockets because they may hide pints of alcohol.

One week straight you've been harassing him. That's exactly why diplomats have

immunity. To prevent what you're doing. I'm having such a tough time grasping

these international laws.

Maybe Ambassador Trentino ought to come down here and explain them to me.

There are delicate negotiations in progress between our two countries for

-tech parts that we do not want jeopardized.

Under Secretary Bolchek is a crucial element in these talks, and they are not

going to just hand you their most important player. And we are not going

insist they do it. So, if you don't cease and desist, drastic measures

will be imposed on your department.

Don't threaten me.

I'm advising you to wait.

I'll take it under advisement.

Don't tell me I have had physical contact with a woman on a public street.

1897. I see you've been brushing up on your East Brisbane municipal codes.

Uh,

litterbug, that's a violation in any era.

I think I've got to break on the Schwartzwall jewelry robbery.

That's Mr. Van Groverton turned over on the guy who did it, a Joey Ramone.

Says he comes from out of state.

Let's run it through the computer. Maybe the feds can help us out.

What happened?

I don't know.

Never done that before.

I'll log in again.

I can't believe it.

They actually did it. They locked us out of the Fed's computer.

It's extortion.

Tony, without access to this computer network, they've just made this

deaf and blind.

I guess this is the world's way of telling us we're on our own.

who that could be.

Dad.

Hi, honey.

Too early?

No, um, come on in.

You know, um, I was just making some breakfast.

Do you want some?

Oh, I gotta catch a plane to St. Lou.

But I wanted to swing by and see the baby.

Did you get the teddy bear?

Yeah. Big.

Big. I told the guy, give me the biggest one you got.

You know, David's still sleeping. Let me go and... Shh. Let him sleep.

I can only stay a minute.

Tell him Grandpa loves him.

Huh?

Ben?

What a surprise.

There she is.

Oh, how are you, Pop?

Oh, let me see my girl.

My little Sarah.

She's a doll.

She remind you of Rachel when she was a baby?

Yeah, who can remember?

Oh, what a cutie you are.

Oh,

yes, what a sweetie.

I know you think I should have come by sooner.

You're right. I'm sorry.

You've been busy. We understand.

Oh, yeah.

I wish your mother could have seen her.

Oh, you're a sweetheart. Yes, you are.

Oh, yeah.

You look just like Grandma.

Five minutes and he's gone again.

After all these years, I really should be used to it.

Tell him, Rach. Tell him how you feel.

I can't.

I don't know why, but I just can't.

You know, I wish he wouldn't even come, honey. It's like... I, uh... I think I

need some help.

Let's get a change.

That's better, huh? Nice and dry.

And who's that?

That's Grandpa.

It's Grandpa.

She looks just like you.

You look tired.

You know, the baby doesn't sleep.

Are you familiar with the Mills Brothers song, Daddy's Little Girl?

Yeah, sure.

Worked on Rachel.

Oh, never failed.

Really? Like mother like daughter, maybe.

You know, Tony.

The words to that song express how I felt about Rachel ever since she was

I guess I never should have stopped singing them.

She'd like nothing more than to hear it, Ben.

You think it'd be easier to, I don't know, say how you feel the older you

For me, it's harder.

Well, look.

I'm late.

Bye -bye, Sarah.

Take care, Anthony.

Rachel.

When will I see you?

Soon.

I'll be around.

I gotta hold my contacts down at the bureau.

They've been ordered to keep us offline until we drop this, um, matter.

Well, down to our last shot.

Trentino's daughter.

I saw the way she looked at Bolchek.

She hates that they're covering for him.

She's the only one who can convince her father.

I cannot speak for my father, but I can tell you about him.

I have seen how you care for the victims. I find your actions admirable.

My father, he knew what it is like to be a victim.

He doesn't show it.

As a young man, he ripped his life harboring Jews from

the masses.

And again, he was...

tortured by Ceausescu's secret police for helping dissidents out of

Romania.

My father is a hero in my country.

And why won't he help Stacey Winchester?

Oh, my father does his job well.

Perhaps too well.

I'm afraid my father has forgotten what it is like to be a victim.

And it will take...

More than I know to awaken those feelings again.

So, I will not apologize for my father, but I will for myself.

There's no need, Miss Trentino.

Thanks.

Remember the day we first talked to Stacy?

I said a man could never know how a woman felt to be raped.

Well, if a rape happened to a man's daughter, he would know.

You're right.

I have this idea.

I don't like having it.

But there's no other recourse.

We can't watch Bolchek forever, and if we stop, he'll start doing it again.

You want to lead Trentino into thinking that Bolchek's raped Anna?

Anna said her father's forgotten what it was like to be a victim.

What if we remind him?

So he can feel what these women have gone through.

What others will go through.

We need honest cooperation.

Yeah, but my problem is to make him really feel it.

to truly believe his daughter's been raped.

I'm a father, Sid.

I don't know if I could put another father through that kind of torture.

If it isn't even real.

The question is, can you let Bolchek put another woman through it when it is

real?

There's Trentino.

Nurse, open the door. You can go in in a moment.

Who are you?

Are you a doctor?

East Bridge Commissioner of Police, Anthony Scali.

This is Chief Detective Sid Madison.

What just happened to Anna?

Your embassy has a yacht in the marina. Just tell me. Have you ever seen this

kind of rope on that yacht?

Four women were found raped, bound with this kind of rope, using this kind of

knot.

Is she being attacked?

These are photos of the four women as they were found.

Look at them.

Who did this?

I want the animal arrested immediately.

This is the animal that did it.

And you know who he is.

Bolchek has raped my daughter.

If he has, there's nothing we can do, seeing that he has immunity.

I can waive his immunity.

That's very serious.

Would you be willing to do that? What about my daughter? That is not serious.

How hurt is she?

Please, open the door.

What is the meaning of this?

I'm all right, Papa.

You let me believe she had been raped. Is that how you solve your problems?

lies and defeat?

You... You cooperated with him to put me through this.

Don't matter.

I am sorry you have been involved.

I am not sorry.

When it was your daughter, you were ready to arrest him. It should not be

different because it was someone else's daughter who was raped.

The fathers of the other girls don't have the power to do anything about it.

You do.

It was the only way to make your heart understand what your soul

already knew.

we will be negotiating with is in Peetburg.

I have every confidence that I will be successful.

I should be there in two hours.

Shall I call the sentries? Don't bother, Manny. They're right here.

They're going to help.

Help what?

With your travel plans.

Your destination's been changed from Pittsburgh to, well, probably Attica.

As they say in America, this guy just doesn't get it. Let me see if I get this

straight. I can't arrest or prosecute you on four counts of rape

unless the ambassador signs fifth waiver of immunity.

Now let's see if you get some of our laws.

You have the right to remain silent.

This one's called your Miranda right.

How can you just sit there, Tentino? If you decide to give up that right,

anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Thank you both for that opportunity.

I will see to that.

They'll have your head for this, Tentino.

Turn to your right.

That's him, definitely.

Okay, take him back.

Stacy said he had some things for you to sign, and then it's on trial.

I was trying to think of a better way to say thank you, other than just saying

it.

So... Oh,

Stacy, this is amazing.

I've never had anyone.

Wow. I love it. Thank you.
