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.

Dumping's illegal, buddy.
Come on, right there.

Hands over your head.
Come on,
hands over your head.

On the car, on the car.
Stay there.

Divers pulled
the body out. It's a male.
White. No ID.

Looks like
a gunshot in the belly.

You run the car?

Yeah. Registered to
a Ronald Dobell
in Whitestone.

That him
in the radio car?

No, that's Carl Thurston.

Says Dobell is
his brother-in-law.

What's the rest
of Carl's story?

His brother-in-law
picked him up this morning,

when he got out
of prison in Virginia.
On the way up,

they get into some kind
of beef. The brother-in-law
pulls a gun,

Carl tries to grab it,
and he accidentally
shoots him.

I guess the brother-in-law
requested a burial at sea.
Thanks.

Hiya, Carl.

I'm Detective Briscoe
and this is Detective Curtis.

What's shaking?

They tell you
what happened?

Well, yeah,
but we'd like you
to tell us again.

It was an accidental
shooting, Officers.

We're detectives.

Yeah, right.
I just want to
clear this up.

Well, so do we.

Detectives, there's something
you ought to look at.

What?We found another one.

Another what? Body?

Actually, another two-thirds.
Female.

No hands, feet or head.

Where was she?

About 10 yards downriver
from the first one,

caught in some
underwater pilings.

How many people
you kill, Carl?

I don't know nothing
about that other body.

Cutting some
broad's head off,
that's psycho.

That's right.
So we check releases
from the mental wards,

or we find
somebody hopped up
on crystal meth,

like what we found
in your car.

It's Ronnie's car.

Hidden in
a secret compartment
in the floorboards,

which tells me we're dealing
with a serious user.

Ronnie and my sister are both
a couple of meth freaks.
Not me.

So how'd it happen?

You and Ronnie come up here,
you get a girl, and what,
Ronnie freaks out?

Thinks there's
spiders crawling
out of her eyes

so he cuts her up?

I told you,
I never saw the lady.
I don't know who she is.

I mean,
I am just trying to walk
the straight and narrow now.

You're getting off to
a pretty rocky start.

Ronnie, he threatened me,
and that is the God's
honest truth.

About what?

He wanted us to
stick up this mini mart.

I told him no way.
I already got
two felonies on my jacket.

One more strike,
and I go down for the count.

Yeah, yeah.
Now, get to the part where
Ronnie winds up dead.

Well, he says I owe him
for driving all that way
to Virginia.

I said, well,
I'll just get out
and take the bus

the rest of the way.

And that's when he
pulled the piece on me.

Mr. Thurston was released

from Big Meadows state prison
in Virginia yesterday,
6:00 a.m.

The divers said
the woman's body

had been in the water
more than 24 hours.

Well, if she's been dead
since before yesterday,

this guy has
a pretty solid alibi.

What's he saying
about the other one?

Self-defense.
It's a cute story.

Well, Profaci'll take
the confession.

The M.E. should have
the report on the female.

Perp used
a thick cutting tool

with a smooth blade,
like a machete.

There's very little blood
left in the body,

meaning the heart
was still beating

when the guy
went to work on her.

She was still alive?

Well, at least in
a technical sense.

She might have been dying
from some other trauma,

but without the noggin,
I'm at a disadvantage.

What about a time of death?

She's completely
out of rigor.

I'd put it at two
or three days ago.

Which makes Carl
the upstanding ex-con

he says he is.
Anything else?

She went out with a bang.
I found semen in
the vaginal canal.

I'm running
blood tests on it.

And she has breast implants.
Good ones, too.
Death and gravity-defying.

Any way to trace them?

Yeah, I had
the same thought.

They come with model numbers.

Look, Detectives,
I wish I could help.
But you have to understand,

my patients
assume their privacy
will be respected.

Hey, we're only asking
that you contact
your patients

and verify they're alive.

That wasn't such a hardship
for the other doctors.

Well, they don't
have my patient list.

Hey, this isn't
the Planet of
Barbie Dolls, Doc.

Your average citizen
knows these ladies
have pumped-up ta-tas.

What we have is
a decapitated body
and a killer walking around.

I'll have my office
manager make some calls.

There are three patients
with this particular implant

that the doctors
haven't been able
to get a hold of.

Yeah, Carmela Rago,
Stacy Rudman
and Heidi Ellison.

The ages right?

Rago and Rudman are
both in their twenties.

Ellison's 32.

Heidi Ellison.
That name sounds familiar.

Yeah, she's the one
that Dr. Levine worked on,

so she's probably
got some dough.

I heard she was
doing Derek Morrow.Who, the actor?

Yeah, she runs the studio
that's making his next movie.

What, you hanging out
with a new crowd?

No, no, no,
I saw it in the tabloids.

Okay.

In line,
at the market.

Who's closest?

Rago. She's in
the East Village.

Let's start with her.

I haven't talked to
Carmela in three weeks.

She went to live with
her boyfriend, Gino.
22 years old. He's 47.

She got a job?
Go to school?

Before she left,
she said she got a job
as a dancer.

Where's that?

I don't know.

Carmela's no dancer.
You know what it is?

She's taking off her clothes
in front of strangers.

Well, that's
the Social Security number

we got off her
cabaret license.

We just need her last
place of employment.

Yeah, I'm calling
about the apartment
you have listed in the paper.

Yeah, I'll hold on.

Says here
it's a one-bedroom.

What?

Okay. Thank you very much.No, thanks.

I'm looking for
a real one-bedroom.

What am I gonna do, Lennie?
After I back out
what I'm paying Deborah,

I can barely afford a studio.

As of two weeks ago,
Carmela Rago was dancing

at a place called the Rialto
on Northern Boulevard.

So the split's a done deal?

Who knows?

But this
twist-in-the-wind routine's
getting tired.

I thought if you
said enough Hail Marys,
all was forgiven.

God forgives you,
not your wife.

We're looking
for Carmela Rago.

Monique,
these guys are looking
for Carmela.

They're cops.

I'm Carmela.
What do you want?

Call your mother.

Next one on the list
is Stacy Rudman.

Stacy Rudman?Yes.

Have a nice day, Stacy.

Well,
the only other one left is
Heidi Ellison in midtown.

You want to grab
a bite first?

Yeah, whatever you want.

Cheer up, Rey.
Could be worse.

Yeah,
the torso could have had
a hip replacement.

I'm Greta Heiss,
Ms. Ellison's assistant.CURTIS: Hi.

Hello.
Why don't we go inside?

Ms. Ellison's not available.

Oh? Where is she?

Why do you want to see her?

Well,
someone with the same type
of breast implants

as your boss
was found dead.

Oh, I'm sorry,
but I can assure you

she's very much alive.

But she's not available?

Well, she's out
of the country.

Can you call her?

If she had a phone.
Who told you she had
breast implants?

Oh, we're the police.
We know everything.

How about telling us
what you know,
starting with where she is?

Well, she's on
a small private island

near Bora-Bora,
but I can't tell you

the exact
geographical location.

How long's
she been there?

About four days.
She left on Tuesday.

When's the last time
you spoke to her?

The evening she left.

She called me
from her gym,
around 5:45-ish,

before her workout.
About the implants...

What gym was that?

Dynamics, on 57th
between First and Second.

Now, that information will be
confidential, correct?

Because we've had
a lot of problems
with the tabloids.

The Derek Morrow thing?

Exactly. Which is
a complete fabrication.

Well, just so we can
cross her off our list,

how about contacting

whoever's delivering
the mai-tai's

and verifying
that she really is

on her private beach?

Yes, but it's going
to take some time.

We have to go through
a ship-to-shore hookup.

Well, maybe if you
give us the flight number,

we can contact the airline?

She has access to
a friend's private plane.

Her name's Andrea Brown.
But she's in Europe
for the winter.

Do you know where we
can find the pilot?

Well, I know
she keeps the plane
at Teterboro Airport.

Bora-Bora?

I never went to Bora-Bora.
Ms. Ellison never showed up.

So what have you been doing
the last four days?

Waiting for her.

And you never bothered
calling her office

to find out
where she was?

Asking questions is not
in my job description.

I get paid to
be ready to fly,

when they want,
where they want.

Even when they're
four days late?

My employer, Ms. Brown,
was gonna go to London once.

She was a week late.
She pulls up, asks what
our flying time is gonna be,

and goes to sleep.
No explanation whatsoever.

Rey's calling
the gym where Ellison
worked out

to find out if anybody
saw her there.

What about the friend?

Andrea Brown?
She gave Ellison use

of her private plane
while she's in Gstaad
for three months.

Why don't I have
friends like that?

Who's looking for a head?

I didn't
put her in there.

I never even
met the lady. I mean I...
I found her in a garbage can,

and then I...
I flagged down a cop.

I was just
looking for recyclables.

I don't think this qualifies.

You ready?HEISS: Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Was she alive when,
you know...

The Medical Examiner said
the blow to the head was
probably fatal.

Oh, Mr. Hollings.Is it Heidi?

Yeah.My God. Oh, my God.

Heidi was a remarkable woman.
A trailblazer.

Are you a family member?Mmm-mmm.

He's CEO of
Mattawin Studios.

Ben Hollings.

What do we know?
Do you have any
idea who did this?

Not really.
She was at her gym,
and she disappeared.

She was president
of a major
motion picture studio.

People like that
don't just disappear.

Well, apparently she did.

Look, we have
former FBI agents

in our Department
of Corporate Security.

I want them
kept abreast
of what you're doing,

and I want to
establish a reward.

You can call me
at this number.Good.

Ms. Heiss, we still have
a few more questions.

Why don't you
have a seat here?

Do you know
if anybody was upset
with Ms. Ellison?

If anybody
threatened her lately?

Mmm-mmm.
No, nothing like that.

We were really busy.
That's normal.
The studio's in the middle

of a sexual harassment suit.

How was she involved?

Indirectly,
but she still had to attend
a ton of meetings,

so she was
really looking forward
to getting away.

What about
the Derek Morrow story
in the tabloids?

We spent a lot of time
trying to figure out
who planted that.

Was Morrow upset?

I don't think so.
I don't think
he knew about it.

He was on location
in South America, shooting.

What about her
actual personal life?
Any problem areas there?

Well, she was
in a transitional phase,
you know.

She'd been divorced.

She was married
to a director
named Eddie Newman.

Were they on good terms?

He was civil towards her.
But I think he had to be.

The studio was producing
his current picture.

He's shooting in LA now.

Is there anybody at her gym
we should talk to?

Well, she has a trainer,
Evan Grant.

Excuse me, CSU's on their way
over to Ellison's apartment.

You two go. I'll call Ross
and have her meet you there.

The doorman said Ellison
called down at 7:30.

She told him she'd be gone
for a few days and to
hold her deliveries.

Did he see her
come in or leave?

No. But the elevator
goes straight

to the garage.
Her car's still there.

Stu Miller.
Handled a couple of calls

in the 16 when
Ellison was married.

Ex-husband used
to slap her around.
Eddie Newman. Real jerk.

Did you file
any charges against him?

Both times when we got here,
she says they'll work it out.
They never do.

You looking at him for this?

Well, he's been in
LA directing a movie.

Okay. Oh, I almost forgot.
Your lieutenant called.

Said there's no prints
on the bag
with the head in it,

but it's from a wine store
on 58th and Second.

58th and Second?

That's right around
the corner from
Heidi Ellison's gym.

Who made the bed?

Housekeeper said
everything was like this
when she got in this morning.

The M.E. said she had sex
before she was killed.

Maybe she likes to do it
on the dining room table.

Yeah, but maybe the killer
made the bed.

No, it's clean.

Flip it.

Detectives.
We're ready in here.

We'll get highlights anywhere
there's blood residue.

Would you get the lights,
Detective?

Looks clean.

Bingo.

What time
did she leave here?

6:45.

Did she mention
if anybody was coming
to meet her?

No.

What about you?

Where were you that night?

I drove to New Paltz.

What's in New Paltz?

Rock climbing.

I did some rock climbing
the next morning.

By yourself?

I partnered up
with somebody there.
I don't remember the name.

Rock climbing in
the wintertime, huh?

Yeah, you ought to try it.

Let me ask you something.
You and Heidi socialize
outside the gym?

We were friends.

Is that a yes?

We were friends.

Well,
I'm friends with the guy
that does my dry cleaning,

so are we talking
about that kind of friends
or another kind?

I don't know
how close you are
with your dry cleaner.

Is he... Are you
trying to be a wise-ass?

No, I'm trying not
to get pissed off.
You think I killed her.

It's nice talking to you.

Did you see
Ms. Ellison leave?

Yeah. She left about 6:45.

And what about Evan Grant?
What time did he leave?

About two minutes later.

Was there anything
going on between them?

He seemed a little bit
touchy about his
relationship with her.

Well,
I heard that she got him
a part in a movie.

He wanted to be an actor.
As far as anything else goes,
I don't know.

Evan Grant had
an assault conviction

eight years ago.
Busted his girlfriend's jaw.

He got probation.
He's been clean since.

Latent found Grant's prints
in Ellison's apartment.

Well, maybe he
trained her there sometimes.

His prints
were on her vibrator.

Uh-huh. Ask Mr. Grant
if he'll submit
to a blood test.

He's not there.
He left about an hour ago.

Left for where?LA.

He say why?

Just said he got a job.

Can't we extradite him
and make him
take the blood test?

No, without a court order
you can't compel a test

and you can't
get a court order
without reasonable suspicion.

Well, he ran off to LA.
That makes me
reasonably suspicious.

If he went to LA for
a legitimate purpose,
he's not a fugitive.

He lied about
having sex with Ellison.

You don't know that.

And, what,
he was using that vibrator
because she had a sore neck?

Believe me,
I share your frustration.

I got a call from the office
of the CEO of
Mattawin Studios.

Tomorrow morning,
Mr. Hollings

is announcing
a $100,000 reward.

Great. Send in the kooks.

And every
blow-dried anchorman

and talk show host
on the dial.

I would love to wrap this up
before it gets away from us.

Yeah, well,
Grant's gonna be in LA
for the next 10 weeks.

So what do you
want us to do,
send him a telegram?

Ask him to send
some blood by return mail?

Maybe you should go there.

Surprise him.
See what he does.

You paying?

I'll call your lieutenant.

Don't forget,
I gotta leave early.

Olivia's got that play
at her school tonight.

Yeah, no sweat.
I'll type up the interviews.

Hey. LA today,
78 and sunny.

Can't hate that.
Maybe this guy'll
fold right away,

and I can take
you out to Santa Anita.

Or maybe they're running
at Hollywood Park,

which, by the way,
is nowhere near Hollywood.

Okay, pack your bags.
Borough approved.

When?8:00 tonight.

Unbelievable.

Hey, tell 'em it's work.
Olivia'll understand.

What? That ain't
gonna do it.

Rey, all I know is
you're young, unattached,

devilishly handsome,
and we're going to LA.

If that isn't destiny,
what is?

I don't have
a Curtis with a "C".

How about NYPD with an N?
We're police.

Last week a homeless fellow
said he was an FBI agent.

Had a nice-looking
badge, too.

I can't let you through
without a pass.

Look, a Detective Dunlevy

from the Foothill Division
said he would call over.

I don't see any Dunlevy
on my employee list.

And unless he's an employee,
he can't call in a drive-on.

Hey, this is police business.

Will you just
open the damn gate?

I don't take orders
from you.

And you're not
making any friends
with that salty language.

Now, pull over there.

Detectives Briscoe
and Curtis? Hi.BRISCOE: Hi.

Sorry I'm late.
I'm Lisa Lundquist,
VP of Production.

Ben Hollings wanted me
to personally escort you.

Just leave your car there,
and we'll take the cart.

I don't think
we can all fit, though.

Oh, sure we can.

Come on, get in. All right.

Mr. Hollings said
you were interested
in Evan Grant.

He's working
with Shane Perry.
He has a 10-week studio pass.

He's part of her deal.

Shane Perry?

Yep. That's where
we're going right now.
To her trailer.

She's shooting
A Tale of Two Yogis
over on Stage Five.

It's a live action
children's feature.
Eddie Newman is directing.

All right.
His wife gets killed,

but he goes on
with the show, huh?

$60 million picture.

We were told
that Heidi promised Grant
a part in a movie?

I heard that. I don't
know what became of it.

Could you find out?I'll try.

I'm telling you, Evan.
I think I have
Malibu Fire Syndrome.

My lung capacity is way down.

Oh, come on,
Shane,

just give me three more.Okay.

Three more.Excuse me.

Miss, do you mind giving us
a minute, please?

Shane, why don't you
go to your trailer?
I'll meet you there, okay?

Could someone help
me up here, please?

Oh, sure.

Listen,
I just want you to know,
I'm a big fan of yours.

Really?
That's really nice
of you to say.

So you guys flew 3,000 miles
just to see me?

Well, the thing about
working a case
like this, Evan,

is we try to eliminate
all the possibilities.

Now, that means everybody
who was with the victim.

I told you,
I was in New Paltz.

Yeah, well, then we
narrow down the field.

Now, one way to do that
is to get you to take
a blood test.

We can have a paramedic here,
the whole thing'll
take two minutes,

and then you
can be right back

to sit-ups of
the rich and famous.

I don't think so.

Okay, let's
try it another way.

You remember the name
of the place you stayed at
in New Paltz?

Some motel near a throughway.
I don't remember the name.

How'd you pay?

Credit card.

I'll need to see that
so I can check your
account number, all right?

What time
did you get there?

I don't know.
It was just before midnight.

Well, the clerk
at your gym said

that he saw you
leave about 6:50.

What'd you do for
the next five hours?

I drove to New Paltz,
got lost,

had some dinner.

Where was that?

Some drive-through.

Anybody see you up there?

No.

How'd you get that cut?

I was climbing.

Can I see it?

You know,
I gotta level with you, Evan.

There's
a couple of things here
that are bothering us.

Like what?

Well, like your prior
for assault.

I was a kid.
I was taking steroids.

And like
your fingerprints all over
Heidi Ellison's apartment.

I trained her there.

Trained her to
use a vibrator?

Look, she was just
showing it to me as a joke,
all right?

I guess the idea of
a black man with a record

and a rich white woman
being friends,

it just couldn't happen, huh?

You know,
we can make you take
that blood test.

Well, if you could, I'd have
a needle in my arm right now.

Jamie, the motel in
New Paltz confirms
he checked in about 11:45.

Unless he took a detour,
he should've
been there by 9:00.

I agree,
it gives him opportunity.
We still have no motive.

Should I leave?

Okay, what about
those marks on his neck?

They look like
nail gouges to me.

Speculation.

Now you sound like a judge.

Look,
it's reasonable suspicion.
I know what the standard is.

Give me a few hours.
I'll see what I can do.

If she doesn't get
that court order,

I'm gonna bust
Grant in the nose

and let him bleed
on my shirt.

Can I ask you a favor?

Sure.

Feel free to say no.

We're developing a script
about New York City
detectives.

If you could just
take a look at it and
tell me what you think?

I'd be happy to.

You know,
we should probably talk to

Eddie Newman while
we're waiting for Ross.

Go ahead.
We can discuss it
when you're done.

Hey, why don't you take him
to dinner? Go ahead.

Pick his brain all night.

Well, that'd be great.
I don't expect you
to do it for free.

We can work out some
sort of consulting fee.

Not eating with Lennie
is payment enough.

Cut! That was the frustration
I was looking for.

Print that,
hold takes 18 and 24.

Check the gate.
Move in for Luke's single.

Sorry I couldn't
talk before.

This is a juggernaut,
and if the head man
goes AWOL...

Not that what you guys do
isn't twice as hard.

Did I tell you I did
a year of ride-alongs
before I shot Crooked Street?

Yeah, you mentioned that.

I'm very proud of that film.
Very proud.

Thanks. Anyway,
about your ex-wife...

What can I say?
I was stunned. Floored.

Did your wife
have any enemies
that you know of?

No one. You know,
it's really amazing.

Here she was,
swimming among the sharks,

and she's like
this little angelfish.
No, no, angelfish is wrong.

Angelfish are unemotional.
What's an emotional
sea creature?

Dolphin.
Do you know Evan Grant?

The schwarzeSchwarzenegger.

He was working
with one of your actresses.

Oh, really? Well,
I never talked to the guy.

I'll tell you
a little secret.

The key to being
a successful director

is communicating
with as few people
as possible.

You ever hear anything
about him in connection
with your wife?

Ex-wife. And, yeah, I heard
a little something.

Gossip's the official sport
of the entertainment business.

We think
it's more than gossip.

Me, too.

So what?
Sex is the official hobby.

You think he did it.

You want me to
have some Teamsters
bring him over?

No, thanks anyway.
When's the last time
you saw Heidi?

We had breakfast
at the Peninsula
about a week ago.

You gonna sic
the Teamsters on me?

Depends on where you were
the night of the murder.

I was out here
with my doctor.

You were sick?

My therapist Dan Duval.
Best friend.

Your shrink is
your best friend?

Something, huh?
We met when Heidi
and I went to him

for marriage counseling.

Did Heidi still
stay in touch with him?

He was her therapist, too.

People dump their spouses
easier than they dump
their therapists.

Did Heidi mention
anything in her sessions

that might be
relevant to her murder?

Guys, isn't there
something about
the patient-doctor thing

that says I'm not supposed
to talk about this?

Your patient's dead, Doctor.
Now, did she ever
mention Evan Grant?

I'm a therapist. I really am.
I can't talk about it.

Dead or alive, that
information is privileged.

Well, let's try it this way.
When's the last time
you talked to her?

The morning
before she died.

And what were
you doing the night
of the murder?

Now, what on earth
does this have to do
with anything?

We like to know
where everybody was.
We're kind of anal that way.

Well, I took an 8:30 flight
from Newark and then
later on,

I got together with Eddie.

And what time
was that?

It was late.
I called him in LA,
and we must have hooked up

about 1:00 or 2:00
in the morning.

Curtis. Yeah, hi.
It's Ross.

Those the new
Cobra titaniums?

Oh, yeah.
Sure saved my short game.
You want to try one?

Nice balance.

So, what were you
doing in New York?

I was visiting clients.
Talking to my publisher
about a book.

Got the wrong shoes.

Well, you've still
got a couple of hours.

You want to play nine?She got the court order.

She's gonna fax it over
to the Foothill Division.

Great clubs.
Have to take a rain check
on the golf.

I still got
the wrong shoes.

Feel like Nixon
at San Clemente.

There he is.

Oh, look who's with him.
Cosby used to be his
sidekick on that show.

What show?It's before your time.

What now, man?

Evan,
this is Detective Dunlevy
of the LAPD.

We have a court order
compelling you

to take that test
we talked about.

What test?
What's this all about?

They think I murdered
Heidi Ellison.

Well, that's ludicrous.

Officers, I can tell you
that Evan Grant has

more compassion
in one fingernail

than all the characters
I've ever played
put together.

Don't do anything.

I don't intend to.

A lawyer I know
lives up on Broad Beach.
I'll take care of it.

This man says
he's Mr. Grant's attorney.

Mitchell Klein.

Evan. I'll take that.

No, you won't.

This is a temporary
restraining order

signed 20 minutes ago
by the Honorable
Omar Marashlian,

barring you from conducting
any tests on Mr. Grant

until I fly to New York
to contest your court order.

Let's go, Evan.
I'll give you a ride.

You must have taken
the LAPD crash course
on Gestapo tactics.

The TV in my room's
not working.

Help yourself.
Ross says they'll be

going at it with Grant's
lawyer tomorrow morning.

Hi, Deborah.
I'm okay. You?

Listen, can I speak
with Olivia, please?

No, no, don't wake her up.
I forgot about
the time difference.

How did she do
with the play?

Well, that's good,
that's good.

Okay. Listen, could
you just please tell her
I was thinking of her,

and let the girls know
I love 'em?

Thanks.ANNOUNCER ON TV:
This just in

this breaking news on that
horrible East Coast murder...

Good night. ...with a special report,
here's Jack Barlow.

Jack.JACK: It was only
a matter of time.

The kid'll be okay. They're now investigating
in California.

Rey!

...grizzly murder
of Mattawin executive
Heidi Ellison.

Sources tell KNBC News
the investigation has
moved to LA,

where New York City
detectives have questioned
unnamed suspects

and appear to be
close to an arrest.

We are? Oh, good.

Where do they come up
with this crap?

Beats me.
So what time is Lisa
picking you up?

Oh, damn, I forgot.
You know what?

She doesn't know what room
we're staying in.

You want to keep
an eye out for her
while I get ready?

Yeah.

You see what you
got me into?

Yeah, I got you a date
with a good-looking woman.

I'm a real son of a bitch.
Here she is.

Good evening.

Hi, Lennie.

Rey's just
powdering his nose.

Well, it ain't the Ritz,
but it's home.

Great. So I talked
to Business Affairs
about Evan Grant.

Heidi sent down
an acting contract for him
with a handwritten note

telling them to okay it.
Two weeks, 10 grand per.

And then right
before she died,
she sent a follow-up memo

with a note telling them
to put his acting job
on indefinite hold.

Did the note say why?No.

It was an action picture,
not many lines,
but a lot of screen time.

Would've been
a nice break for him.

That could be our motive.

You know, the studio
gets a corporate rate
at the Century Plaza.

Maybe even what
you're paying here.

Hi.

Hi.

Lisa's got an idea.

I've been looking for you.

I was at an executive
committee meeting till 9:30.
What's up?

We have a date
with Judge Caffey
tomorrow morning at 9:00,

to argue the merits
of the Evan Grant blood test.

Argue with who?

Mitchell Klein,
Grant's new lawyer.

It doesn't ring a bell.

It would if you'd read
this month's Vanity Fair.

He's a lawyer to the stars.

Seven hundred bucks an hour.

I thought Grant was
an aerobics instructor.

He's a personal trainer
to the stars.

Klein has convinced
an LA judge to issue

a restraining order
on the blood test.

Klein is flying in
on the red-eye

for the hearing.

We'll have breakfast
waiting for him.

Find out what lawyers
to the stars eat
in the morning.

When I first started,
I wanted to make
great movies,

then it was just good movies,
and now I'm happy
if any movie gets made.

The truth is,
we're in the business
of not making movies.

Listen to me.
Aren't the rules
of the game

I get you to
talk about yourself?

Here I am,
talking about me.

Don't stop on my account.

I think it's interesting.

What's interesting is,
you don't act like
you need your ego flattered.

No one's tried
that on me yet.
It's very attractive.

Well, I'm glad I haven't
lost my touch.

No, you haven't,
Detective Curtis.

So, I hope Lennie
wasn't too offended

that we didn't
ask him to join us.

Are you kidding?

When he found out
he had a Jacuzzi in his room,
he forgot all about us.

We really appreciate
all you've done for us.
It's been a big help.

Believe me,
you'll be a bigger help to me
if you can save this script

from the banal.

90% of all
police work is banal.

Read it. If you have ideas,
you could come on
as technical advisor.

I'd do it for nothing.

That is so refreshing.

Forget it. More wine?

Absolutely.

So if you need anything else,
you've got my numbers, right?

Yeah. All seven of 'em.

I know, it's ridiculous.

Okay.

Thanks. Thanks, again.

I'll just find
my valet ticket.

Oh, you have your car.

Yeah, I showed you
the way here.

Lisa, I don't think
you should drive.

Well, you just
have to believe

that I didn't
plan it this way.

Okay?

Okay, wait, wait.

It's because you're married.
I'm sorry.

Actually, I've been separated
for three months.

I'm really attracted to you.No, I understand.

But I'm just trying
to sort some things
out right now.

I'll get a cab.

Oh, damn.

I have this breakfast meeting
at 7:00 a.m.

tomorrow on
the other side of town,
and if I go home

I'm going to have
to come back here
at 5:30 to get my car.

Take this.
It's my room key. 912.

It's all yours.

I'll stay with Lennie.

What? She wanted to shack up,
and you turned her down?

I told her I was married.

Why?

Rey, you should not
disappoint this woman.

I mean, she provided
valuable information,
and she looks great.

Come on, I'm not gonna
take advantage
of the situation.

She didn't plan
on getting drunk.

Oh, no?

She's a woman, Rey,
and she's a Hollywood player.

She started strategizing
the minute she saw you.

Besides, if we get
that court order,

we're back on the plane
to New York, and that's it.

Good night, Lennie.

It doesn't matter how
"reasonable" they think
their suspicion is.

I mean, this is
an outrageous intrusion

by the state
into my client's body.

What intrusion?
We're talking about
a needle prick,

which can dispose
of our suspicions
concerning Mr. Grant.

It can?

So if the blood isn't
a match with the semen,
is Mr. McCoy saying

that he won't pursue
a case against my client?

That's not the point.
In In Re the Death of Abe A,

the court stated
all that's necessary

is the likelihood
of obtaining relevant,

admissible evidence.

He's being disingenuous,
Your Honor.

Unlike my client,
the suspect in Abe A
had a very rare blood type

and he was seen
with the victim

moments before
the victim disappeared,

and he had access
to the crime scene.

Now, that blood test
would have been conclusive.

In Mr. Grant's case
the test would at best

determine he might be
the perpetrator.

Mr. Grant admitted
being with the victim

shortly before
she was murdered.

At his gym,
in front of dozens
of people.

She was murdered
in her apartment.

If the People's case
is so strong,

why the ex parte
court order?

What was your rush,
Mr. McCoy?

The suspect
was in California.

How were we supposed
to notify him

of our application?

You found him
when you had to.

Your Honor,
this man obviously has

no regard for
the constitutional rights
of my client.

I have regard for a victim
who was dismembered
by his client.

Okay, I've heard enough.

I'm quashing your
court order, Mr. McCoy.

If you want
Mr. Grant's blood,
you'll have to say please.

Hello. Yeah,
what'd he say?

Okay. Yeah, thanks, Jamie.

So, the judge
quashed the court order.

Borough's gonna love
paying for this trip.

Hey, it's not so bad.

What about those bandages
Grant was wearing?

You know, we can get
the blood off of those.

What, you want to go picking
through people's garbage?

What about Grant's
"expectation of privacy"?

The garbage is
in a public area.

As long as
the studio gives the okay,
I think we're good on this.

Boy, I don't know
what it is,

but you guys get
a better class of garbage
out here.

"For Your Consideration."

Oh, that's to
vote for the Oscars.
The studios give 'em away

to members of
the Motion Picture Academy.

Wow, this movie
just came out

in the theaters last week.
Can I hang onto these?

Knock yourself out.

I think I got it.

That's quite a boat.
Whose is it?

Mine. It's a Catalina 42.

How far out
can you go on it?On this boat?

Yeah.You can go around the world.

If you had more time,
I'd take you out for a sail.

Lundquist.
Yeah, he's here.
Lennie. Hold on.

Thanks. Yeah?

Thanks. We'll wait here.

Grant's prints
are on the bandage.

His blood's a match
for the semen.

Whoa, whoa,
ease off, fellows.
Mr. Grant's no hothead.

Isn't that right, Evan?What's going on?

Evan Grant,
you're under arrest

for the murder
of Heidi Ellison.

I want a lawyer.

That's fine with us.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can
be used against you
in a court of law.

This is the bandage,
the lab results,
copies of the arrest report,

the extradition papers
and Grant's waiver.

That better be it.
I'm running out of room.

I was wrong.
The orange juice
was only $6.25.

The bagel was $12.

Listen, I should go
call Lisa to thank her.

You got about 45 minutes
till your flight.

You never know
this time of day,
with the freeway.

Rey, why don't you
call her from New York?

Well, take a good
look around, Evan.

You won't be seeing
any palm trees for a while.

"Docket number 026797,
People against Evan Grant.

"The charge is Murder
in the First Degree."

How do you plead, Mr. Grant?

Not guilty.The People request remand,
Your Honor.

Mr. Grant viciously murdered
the victim and
mutilated her body

to conceal his crime.
He lied to the police

about his whereabouts,
and fled to California.

Mr. Grant's a personal
trainer with clients
in Los Angeles.

The trip was prearranged.

Those wealthy clients
may provide him

the money to
flee jurisdiction.

Given his criminal record...

An assault conviction
eight years ago,

at which time my client made
every court appearance and
received probation.

Yes, and now his
semen's been found

in a torso floating
in the East River.

Give me a break, Mr. Klein.
Your client's remanded.
Next case.

Grant's lawyer wants to meet
as soon as possible.

He might be
looking for a plea.

Oh, that's too bad.

I was hoping this time
Grant might escape
to the Bahamas.

Jamie.

Hello, Neal.

Detective Lennie Briscoe.
Neal Gorton, Esquire.

A pleasure.
You don't mind if I borrow

my ex-wife for a moment,
do you?

No, go right ahead.
We're all done.
See you later, Jamie.

See you.

I didn't know
you liked older men.

What are you doing here?
You have a case?

I don't know. You tell me.

Tell you what?

What about this
Ellison homicide?

I hear the police
questioned Eddie Newman.

Is he a suspect, too?

Are you representing him?

Not specifically.
Mattawin Studios asked me

to look out
after their interests.

They get a little nervous
when the director
of their next big kids' movie

is involved in
a murder investigation.

Your clients
can stop worrying.
We have only one suspect.

Thanks. Nice coat.

Thanks. You paid for it.

If Evan's
guilty of anything,
it's bad judgment.

Because he killed somebody?
That's the understatement
of the year.

I didn't kill her.

Evan wasn't
completely forthcoming
in earlier discussions.

He wants to clear the air.

Funny how
he didn't want to
before he was indicted.

I was with Heidi
the night of the murder.
After I trained her,

I went back to her place
and had sex.

We already know that.

The point is he left
before anything happened.

He said he drove
to New Paltz.

You don't own a car,
do you, Mr. Grant?

I borrowed Heidi's car.

I left about 7:30.

Did anyone see you leave?

I don't think so.

I know you're new at this,

but if you're going to
come up with a story,
you want to be able

to offer some corroboration.

He has corroboration.

I got a toll receipt
when I got off
the throughway.

I think I might've
left it in Heidi's car.

Why didn't you
say this before?

I didn't think
you'd believe me.

I mean,
I'd just had sex with her,

I'm driving her car...

She'd just canceled
your acting contract.

There was a reason for that.
I wasn't available
for those weeks, and...

If you look in the car,
you'll find the toll receipt

with the time stamped on it.
He was getting off
the throughway

while the real killer
was hacking up
Ms. Ellison's body.

Nothing?

Are you sure you have
the right car?

I mean,
that's a 500 SL also.

Oh, that's Mr. Newman's.

He's got an apartment
two blocks from here,

but he didn't want to lose
his stall after the divorce.

We've got
a three-year waiting list.

He ever use it?
It looks brand new.

Tony detailed it last week.

Mr. Newman wanted
it done right away.

Newman was here?

No, he called from
LA the morning after
Ms. Ellison was killed.

He told me he was
coming into town,

and he wanted
the car spotless.

Said he wanted
it done right away
inside and out.

You got Newman's
toll calls?

LAPD faxed 'em.

They confirm Newman's call
to the garage from LA.

What about
the call from the shrink
on the night of the murder?

Yeah, we checked
the shrink's air phone bill.

Confirms the call
to Newman in LA.

Only thing is,
it was call-forwarded

from Newman's house
to Newman's cell phone,

which was who-knows-where.

Ask the LAPD to pull
his cell phone records.

Hey, Rey, a Lisa Lundquist
called earlier.

She says
she's at the Royalton

and that you can call her
any time, day or night.

Thanks for the message.

Don't mention it.

Mommy!ROSS: Hi, sweetie!

Hey, what a nice surprise.

I took Katie to the zoo.

We had a good time,
didn't we, angel?

Yes, we did, Daddy.

By the way, I heard
some very disturbing news

about you checking
Eddie Newman's
phone records.

Our investigation isn't over.

You told me
he was not a suspect.

Can we talk
about this later?

We'll talk about it now.

I asked you
a straightforward question,
I deserve an honest answer.

Don't imagine for a second
I'm gonna take
any crap from you.

Back off, Neal.

I'm putting you on notice,
and you, too, Mr. McCoy.

Either of you screws with me,
I'll come after you
like a pack of dogs.
