It is just a suit.

No big deal.

So? You've never seen me in a suit before.

There's no reason to stop the presses.

You keep this up, I'm not going to give you your birthday present.

No more cracks about the suit.

Then what?

My favorite.

Yeah, I know.

Happy birthday, thank you Happy

birthday, I didn't tell

I Didn't tell him

Thank you.

Well, um, I gotta run. Uh, happy birthday.

Yeah.

I like him.

Yes, better than Bruce.

Hey, you asked.

Are we ever gonna get out of here?

As soon as the new replacement gets here, Crow.

I'm a trusting soul, but I don't think I want to leave this place on the honor

system. Why not? They're all cops.

My point exactly.

I gotta go downstairs and check some stock.

I'll be right back.

Getting drool in your beer, Andy.

He is a great-looking human.

No argument here.

It is. A nice-looking suit.

What's the occasion?

There is no occasion.

Why is everybody so concerned with the way I'm dressed today?

Sorry I asked.

Look, Dickie, there's been something I've been meaning to talk to you about.

You waiting for an invitation?

No.

It's about Kay.

Look, I know...

that you and she were, you know, tight for a while.

And... And?

Well... I really like her.

But I don't want you thinking that I'm a bird dog or anything.

So if you still, you know, then... Crow, treat her nice.

She deserves that.

Okay?

Hey, Dickie.

Hi. Suit.

You getting married?

You too?

What, is everybody a comedian today?

I'm not trying to be funny. I just wondered where you're going all dressed

up.

I'm going home to walk my dog.

And if he says anything about this suit, I'm gonna shoot him.

You look lovely tonight, Tess.

Thank you.

Having a good time?

Yes. Yes, I am. Good.

I'm glad.

Excuse me. Yes, sir?

Can't wait to... Thank you.

Great.

So you really don't like the tie?

Eh, what do you know?

Hi. Hi.

Nice suit.

Yeah? Really?

You think so? Yes.

Well, are you ready to do this?

Probably not, but we'll give it a shot.

I like that tie, too.

Thank you.

You can run to my friend, boy.

Hey,

I'm standing at the crossroads. Believe I'm sinking down.

I do a little better when I get to work in clothes.

So I've heard.

What does that mean?

It means you have a reputation with the ladies.

Says who?

I hear things.

Do you believe everything you hear?

No.

I just want to take it slow.

Well, go as slow as you want.

Just don't hurt me, Crow.

I can't be hurt again.

I won't hurt you, King.

Not ever.

Thanks.

I forgot how much I hate white wine.

You don't supposedly get a beer around here someplace, do you?

No. Can I get you something else, sir? Clip soda?

Sparkling water.

With a lime?

Is there another way?

Well, what do you think of this one?

Great. What is it?

It's called Two Men and Their Dog.

Right.

Mail dog.

Well.

Well?

I had a really nice time.

Thanks. I take it that means the evening's over.

If I invite you in for a nightcap...

I know I'll be fixing you breakfast in the morning, and I'm just not ready for

that.

Do you understand?

Good night, kid.

Good night.

Um, we still on for tomorrow?

You bet.

You know how most dogs get all excited when their owners come home?

Yeah.

Well, I couldn't help but notice John doesn't do that.

Well, he's been in a bad mood.

Been in a bad mood about four years now.

You had a terrible time tonight, didn't you?

No, it's better than going to the dentist.

You good at a lot of those things?

Uh-oh.

Is that question headed into a we-come-from-two-different-worlds

discussion?

Has crossed my mind.

You know where I come from, Dickie.

Until I was 17, I thought bratwurst and draft beer were fine dining.

I'm not going to apologize for wearing nice clothes and that expensive perfume

you enjoy smelling so much.

I'm not asking for an apology.

All I'm saying is I felt a little uncomfortable there tonight.

Well, don't look now, kiddo, but you handled yourself just fine.

Anything else on your mind?

Our jobs.

You're worried that a you-JLM-I-B-LM relationship can't work.

Something like that.

By and large, I pretty much can't stand the people you defend.

Well, by and large, I pretty much can't stand cops.

What's that got to do with us?

Don't strain yourself looking for an answer.

The answer is nothing.

If you and I leave our jobs at the door, then we've got a shot, okay?

Are you this good in court?

Better.

This is a surprise.

I've got the final papers on your father's estate for you to sign. You

didn't have to come all the way out here. I could have come downtown.

No problem. I was in the neighborhood.

You were in the neighborhood?

Okay, I had some free time and thought I'd drop by to see you.

Why?

You intrigued me.

Bruce, I've been called lots of things.

Intriguing's not on the list.

You sell yourself short?

No, you sell me short.

You think you can walk in here with your fancy clothes and your Gold Coast charm

and sweep the dumb girl from the bar off her feet?

It's not what I meant. Oh, come on, Bruce.

Okay, you're half right.

I don't think you're dumb, but I would like to sweep you off your feet.

What about Tess?

We're separated.

Okay, let me put it this way.

It's not gonna happen.

Separated, not separated.

Tests, no tests. It's not gonna happen. Got it?

Be kind of tough not to.

Good.

Thank you for all your help.

Send me a bill, please, and we'll just... we'll call it even. How about I

not send you a bill and we'll call it even?

Fine.

That should do it.

You're a woman of means now.

Look, Kate, I'm sorry if I was out of line.

I hope you won't hold it against me.

You have a nice wife, Bruce.

Why don't you try and make it work with her?

Probably a good idea.

Bye, Kate.

See ya.

Hey, Bruce.

What are you doing here? Just dropping off some papers.

You got to run.

Nice talking to you.

Boy, he left in a hurry.

What happened?

You tell me only briefs of his you're interested in are legal?

Well, actually... Oh, brother.

Hey, Grill.

How's it going?

I can't complain.

You've been seeing Kay Lockman.

Yeah, so?

So nothing. I was just wondering if she's as good as she looks.

I wouldn't know.

If that's true, then you're the only one.

What are you doing?

We're working.

Do you have a date?

No, no.

I was just thinking about you and thought I'd take a chance that you were

home.

What can I say to this?

I want to spend time with you.

Hey, and she cooks too. Hey.

Oh, I say no to the wine. Do you take the dinner back?

Oh, I almost forgot.

There's a beer in the refrigerator with your name on it. I understand September

was a wonderful month for hops.

Good, huh?

Take a hike.

Delicious.

Glad you like it.

So, you were saying there was something you wanted to talk to me about.

Yeah. I need a female perspective.

Shoot.

Don't ever say that to a cop.

Anyway, there's this woman I know who's separated from her husband, but she

really wants to make things work with him. We're talking about Tess.

I know, Bruce.

Well, so, supposedly, I mean, they're really trying to work this out.

But I found out that he's been hitting on other women.

Like I said, I know Bruce.

So what's your problem?

Do I tell Tess?

Yes.

Yes? Just like that?

You wanted my opinion, that's it.

Bruce isn't gonna change, Dickie.

He measures his manhood by his conquests.

She's gonna hear it sooner or later. It'd be better if she heard it from a

friend.

You really think so?

I really do.

the wrath of Kaufman in court this morning.

Oh, yeah.

Carlton.

Extortionist.

I did nice work on that case.

So... how are things going?

Good.

Good.

Well, there is.

You know... I don't know.

Of course you don't. I... It's... What?

How are things going?

I'm with Bruce.

Good.

Really?

He came over last night.

He had a nice time.

You think he's really trying to work things out?

Tess, look, um, there is something on my mind.

And believe me, I'm not...

Comfortable talking about this But I think

it's the right thing to do

Hey

You don't look too happy you spend the morning with judge Rosenberg All that

man is missing is a black hood and a noose. I always thought of him as being

fair.

You would.

We're not supposed to discuss business.

Right.

Did you talk to Tess? I did.

Well, how'd she take it?

She didn't say anything.

Just got that look in her eye. Left the office.

I don't know, Lila. Didn't feel right, me doing that.

You did the right thing, Dickie.

Trust me.

Trust a lawyer?

I know what that means.

Sorry I'm late.

Although I don't know why this couldn't wait until our regular session tomorrow.

I just didn't feel that it could wait until tomorrow.

Okay.

I wanted to do this here because I wanted you to be perfectly clear on what

I'm saying to you.

I believe that somewhere in your heart, you love me.

And I know that somewhere in my heart, I love you.

But I can't do it anymore.

You have to get out of my life. Let me finish.

You need other women. I don't know why, but you do.

I guess I always knew, even when we were together.

I thought maybe you would grow out of it, but you can't stop, even when our

marriage is at stake, and I can't take it anymore.

So that's it?

Just like that?

Please don't insult me by playing injured.

You've hurt me more than you know.

Maybe you can get help. Maybe you can realize what you threw away.

If you do, maybe I'll be there for you.

But for now, it stops right here.

I can't be hurt anymore.

I had a great time tonight.

Me too.

This feels nice.

I'm glad you think so.

How'd that feel?

Even better.

I think this is beginning to feel a little too good.

How can something feel too good?

No, really, Crow, I think we should stop.

You wouldn't be teasing me, however.

No, I'm not teasing. I'm just not ready yet.

You know what they say.

No time like the present.

No, really, Carl, I think we should take some time.

Trust me, King.

You're not going to regret it. No, stop it, Carl. I'm not kidding. Neither am I.

No, no.

Just relax.

No. We're going to have a good time.

picked up, Specs felt he needed an extra man.

So I felt we needed an extra man.

Tony's a good boy.

Jehovah's Witnesses never go up.

I'm glad you feel that way, John. Oh, boy, I'm glad you feel that way.

Kay!

Kay, it's... Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you had company. I just... I just

needed to... Kay, take it easy. What's going on?

What's wrong?

I wish I'd taken a shower before we came here. Yeah, I know you do, but they

gotta look at you first. Even I can still smell them on me. Come on.

Get it over with and you can take your shower.

It's standing room only tonight. She'll have to take a number, get over on the

blue line with everybody else.

I don't want her to wait.

I'm Cobb. Signed the DA's office.

She was raped by a cop.

Wonderful. You just worry about her. I got a lot of people to worry about.

I can wait, Dickie. You're not waiting. Not in this place. Father! Sorry, Cody,

no kid. Got your head on me! Who told him, lady?

Who told him to have mercy?

What'd you do that, huh?

Don't do me like this!

Get me out of here, Dickie. I can't do that, Jay.

Are you going to make this woman suffer more, or are you going to help her?

Jill?

Yeah, what you got? The detective says she was raped. Can you take care of her?

I'd be glad to.

Hi, I'm Joanne Rogers. I'm a triage nurse.

Hey, Lockwood.

Let's take you in the backwood and get a look at you, all right, Kay?

Okay, be a little. Come on.

Some other time, Grimbeck. That's not how we do it. See, we talk first, then

the doctor gets a shot. No, not this time.

Let's go.

Can't wait to take another cop down, can you, cop?

We'll be taking months of specimens that'll be used as evidence.

Don't worry.

I'll be there for you.

You'll have a social worker, too. She may be a little late. She's just

finishing up another case.

I'm sorry I shouldn't put you through all this trouble. You don't have to

apologize, Kate. You didn't do anything wrong.

It's my fault.

I shouldn't have let him kiss me.

Kay, just because you kiss a man, you're not inviting him to sleep with you.

Kay, you gotta relax now.

Joe's gonna scrape under your fingernails for skin particles in case

you scratched your attacker, and I'm gonna be going over you with a Woods

lamp. This is a fluorescent device that'll reveal any dried secretions. Do

you understand?

I'm sorry I'm late. I had a hard time getting away. It's all right, Mary.

We're just getting started.

Hey, I'm Mary Hernandez, your social worker.

How are you feeling?

I'm just a little chilly. That's all. You won't be for long if we can proceed.

Yes, well, I'll be with you during everything that happens here at the

hospital tonight, Kay.

And I'll also provide counseling after you leave.

Lie back, please.

Feet in stirrups.

I want that son of a bitch suspended from duty. For what?

For the reason you're here, Pinkston. Because Cromire raped her. We don't know

that. You wouldn't let Grondek interview him.

Who are you, man? There's a woman in there for God's sake. Listen, listen,

listen.

Now, Crow's an excitable boy when he gets around to pretty girls.

Just because one of them changed her mind. No.

This is Joe Lockman's daughter.

You knew him. You drank in his bar. You know her.

You honestly think she'd try to make something like this up? As much as you

bad-mouthed cops, yeah, yeah, I think she'd make it up. You keep me out of

this. Well, that's impossible, Cobb.

She was your squeeze until Crow took her away.

Thanks for coming.

She's as good as she can be.

She went to the doctor now.

Maybe I could have gotten him out of there.

What do you think you should have done?

Fought harder, but I was so scared, and he was so strong, and he just had me

pinned down.

Speculum? He's right here.

I'm going to take some vaginal samples now, Kay.

You'll have to relax.

This is the first time I've ever been glad my dad's dead.

You're not loosening up, Kay. Just relax.

That was a mild pain.

Won't you take an asthma? You have continuing pain. You must get back in

here, all right? Excuse me. If there's any problems, you see my... Excuse me.

Are you the doctor that just saw Kay Lockman?

Yes, I am, and I really don't have time. Yeah, you do.

I'd like to talk to you about the evidence samples you took when you

examined her. Don't worry, detective.

I know how to do my job. Yeah, but all the same, I would like two of

everything.

Slides, swabs, you name it.

One of each is sufficient for the crime lab. Two.

And I would like them in nice, sterile evidence packages, please.

Fine.

Finished?

I haven't even started.

Well, that's me.

I guess I'm just too popular for my own good.

If I don't see you before I go, I just want to say thanks.

Kate, it's going to be rough for a while, but you're going to get through

this.

Believe me.

You didn't have to come.

Miss, I did.

So you've been going out with Officer Crowmeyer how long, Miss Lochner? Two

weeks, maybe three.

Actually, he was in the bar more than we ever went out on what you could call a

date. But this was a date, correct?

And now you're home?

Yeah. Doing what?

Having a nightcap.

Ah, nightcap.

Did you have drinks while you were out, too, Miss Lockman?

Yeah, I had a glass of wine, and he, I think he had a couple beers.

Okay, so you were having a nightcap in what room?

In the living room. Where in the living room?

On the sofa. Both of you were on the sofa?

Yeah. Where do you get off, Grondike?

She's not on trial here.

Cool your jets, Cobb.

I'm just trying to sort things out.

No.

No, you're being judgmental.

Miss Lockman doesn't deserve that.

Look, counselor, maybe you've never sat through a rape interview before. They're

not fun.

Especially when it's a police officer who's accused of the rape.

We can debate this all you want after I finish with Miss Lockman.

Fine.

You just be nice while you're doing it.

All right, let's get back to the sofa.

Where do you think you're going?

Some place I won't disturb you.

Disturb me?

Just getting up.

It's crack of dawn, isn't it?

Don't be stupid. You need some sleep.

Hey, you're the one I should be doing the sleeping.

I will.

It doesn't mean that you... I gotta go downtown, okay?

Gold wants me in to test there when he walks in.

You gonna be okay with that?

Hey, look, it's not how I want it either, but... You throw the deadbolt on

the door after I'm gone, John here will take care of the rest.

Won't you, John?

Dickie.

Before you take off, you just hold me.

Are you sure you believe this woman's story?

Her name is Kay Lockman.

I'll take that as a yes, but you better remember to treat this like business and

not as a personal vendetta. What about you, Tess? Do you believe Miss Lockman's

story?

Yes, yes, with all my heart. Why would she subject herself to what she went

through last night in the emergency room if it weren't true? Don't worry. The

police will think of something.

It's going to be a war, and I don't like that.

The DA's office and the police department should be playing on the same

team.

You can't back off of this because Cromier's a cop, and if you do...

And if the papers get a hold of this, I will get personal with Crow Meyer.

Before you live out any of your macho fantasies, you better make sure you get

Miss Lockman to press charges. She will.

You're not the one who'll have to get on that witness stand and listen to Crow

Meyer's attorney make you sound like the whore of Babylon. I said she'll press

charges! Tess, go with him when he talks to her. Make sure she understands just

how uncomfortable this could be.

Hey, don't misunderstand me.

Either of you.

I want this bastard Crowmeyer, too.

All right.

All right, we let Kay sleep now.

But how about this afternoon? We can talk to her then.

Well, okay, then after you're through at court.

Slow down.

Tess, what is wrong with you? I mean, don't you want to nail Crowmeyer as much

as I do? I mean, you're a woman.

Come on, you ought to...

Sit down.

Okay.

What's on your mind?

You gave Bruce the boot?

I'm glad to hear that.

Let me tell you something, Tess.

And you remember that this is coming from a man.

Bruce is never going to clean up his act.

It doesn't matter how long you wait.

Don't know that.

Tess, move on. Find somebody new.

There are plenty of guys out there for you.

Hey, one of them practically takes off and flies every time he sees you.

Come on, Tess. You know that's true.

Am I interrupting?

Lila, come in.

I'm sorry. I got your note at home when I got there. I haven't had time. You

don't have to apologize.

Hi, Tess. Hey.

How's Kay?

She's in my place.

I was going to go check on her.

You want to come with me?

I'm still a stranger to her. Dickie, I think maybe you better go by yourself.

Yeah.

You're probably right.

Right now, Kay needs you a whole lot more than I do.

How'd you sleep?

All right, I guess.

At least I didn't have any bad dreams.

About time you caught a break.

Want me to leave you alone so you can sleep some more?

You didn't come by to leave me alone.

Yeah.

You're right, I didn't.

I haven't made up my mind yet.

All right, Dickie?

I'm not trying to pressure you, Kay.

It's just the goal is... You just can't stop being a cop.

I know your problem.

This isn't about any problem of mine.

I just want you to think about pressing charges.

No. No?

No, you're not going to think about pressing charges, or no, you're not

going to actually do it.

Maybe both.

Damn it, Kay, this doesn't make any sense.

I've already been raped once.

I don't know if I can stand having it happen again in court.

You cannot let Cromire get away with this. Damn it, Tiki.

It doesn't matter if he gets away with it or if he goes to prison forever.

He's changed my life.

Can't you see that?

I hope you choke on that.

Oh, Dickie.

Choke is not funny. It depends who's doing it, you son of a bitch.

What? Hey, back off, Cobb. Stay out of this. You raped her.

Me too. What are you talking about? Kay.

Kay?

You've got to be kidding. Kay said I raped her? Yeah.

And she's going to say it loud enough to send your butt to jail.

Hold on a minute.

When was this rape you're talking about? Last night.

That's nuts.

We had a great time last night, Kay and me.

You probably don't want to hear this, but yeah, we made it.

Not because of anything she wanted.

You got it wrong, Dickie.

I am no rapist. You tell it to a judge and jury.

No, I'm going to tell it to Kay. Yeah, I'm going to straighten her out. You

come near her.

Hey. Huh?

I heard you had a tough day.

Some cop raped Dickie Cobb's old girlfriend?

Did she file charges?

I'm sorry, I... Okay, I get it. You're going to see the victim now. I'll

walk you to the door. No, no, no.

Why? What's wrong?

I, uh... Poofed.

What about Bruce?

I, I, uh...

Hold

on a minute. Slow down, Tess.

There was something in there about leaving?

Bruce is leaving?

Yes. Really?

Jesus, that's great!

Um,

well, not great, maybe, but... You know how I feel about you.

I just want to be a part of your life.

Will

you

at least let me get in my own clothes before I decide something like this?

I'll go over and fix it up for you tonight.

I thought you were going to do it this afternoon.

Well, I tried, but something else came up.

Sooner or later, you're gonna have to deal with the idea of pressing charges

against Cromier. The longer you wait, the harder it is to do. I know that.

Well, then why don't you press charges, Kay?

Get this guy off the street before you rape somebody else.

I'm losing my mind over this. Can't you be patient for once in your life? No.

No, Kay, I can't. When it has to do with a guy like Cromier, no, I can't. Stop

it! What?

Dickie, please.

Just translate.

Kay, I would like to be able to say that I know what you're going through, but I

can't. No one can.

Unless they've had it happen to them.

That's right.

Well, I don't know you well. I sense that you're a strong person.

A person that's not afraid to stand up in the face of their own fear.

So?

So I get the feeling that there's something else troubling you.

Something that's keeping you from testifying.

There is.

What?

I feel responsible.

How so?

I invited him in.

We drank.

I let him kiss me.

Maybe I did lead him on before I said stop.

But that's the whole point. You did say stop, and he didn't, and he's guilty.

Kate, truthfully, I don't know if I can get a conviction.

I'm asking you to testify because I honestly believe that it's what's best

for you.

Why?

Because if you don't you're always gonna be tortured by what might have been

you'll see him walking free And it'll be a constant reminder that he violated you

and never had to look back once at his actions Knowing that you let him go free

without a fight Always something that'll haunt you for the rest of your life

Think about it that way.

I will.

I'll get your clothes.

charges.
