Original subtitles

You tried reaching this guy?

No answer upstairs, no answer on his cell phone.

This is an in-touch tenant. Who�s the whom to call?

I called his nephew.

That smart-ass pisspot hadn�t seen him in two days.

Says, "don�t worry, rhodes.

"Walter�s probably incommunicado at the Hamptons

banging some new 22-year-old guy."

Walter goode -- no one�s seen him for two days.

This is the doorman Bruce rhodes.

Reported Mr. Goode�s taupe Mercedes missing.

What kind of Mercedes?

Taupe.

It�s a color, like beige.

So why don�t you show US the garage

where Mr. Goode�s taupe Mercedes went missing from?

Yeah, sure. This way.

Mr. Goode�s apartment done in taupe?

We may need to look at that, too.

His apartment�s undisturbed.

You�re showing a lot of initiative, Bruce.

Well, I was worried sick,

so I took a ride in the elevator.

This is Mr. Goode�s space?

Yeah, right there.

There�s something here by the driver�s side.

Blood and hair.

Did you see this blood and hair over here, rhodes?

Yeah, i�ve seen it.

You better call crime scene, Greg.

Do you think before making sure we knew

this guy�s car was taupe-colored,

you should have conveyed to US

part of his head occupied his parking space?

That was the tip-off there might have been foul play.

Deducing foul play off just blood and hair

and little pieces of brain matter?

You may be in the wrong line of work.

Good. I�m going to be looking for a job.

Good morning.

My daughter�s going to have a drink of water,

then we�re going in here.

I�m Diane Russell, a detective in the squad.

Is there something I could help you with?

Janet and Oscar webb.

This is our daughter Anya.

Hi, Anya.

Hi.

A terrible thing happened to her.

She was attacked.

I�m sorry, Anya.

Thank you.

Come on. We�ll talk about what happened.

Anya and I are going to talk in the coffee room.

Would you see if Mr. and Mrs. Webb

would like anything from downstairs?

Of course.

She needs US with her.

How old are you, Anya?

Janet: 23.

Since you�re not a minor, it isn�t usual procedure

to have your parents with you, but we can make an exception.

Not if it changes the procedure.

Anya.

Jill: Good morning.

These are the webbs, Jill. Their daughter was attacked.

I�m sorry.

Jill kirkendall.

Did you want to make out a background statement

on the incident?

I�m going to take her in the coffee room.

Okay, we can talk at my desk.

The downstairs coffee�s better if you want some.

Janet: No, thank you.

He promised we�d be with her.

You promised Anya?

He promised.

So, that�s great.

She knows you�re right out here.

Please have a seat.

One of the kittens at my work

was doing bad last night

after it had gotten fixed,

so I stayed petting her a while

till I could get her asleep.

And then when did you leave work, Anya?

9:15.

And when I was waiting for the bus,

three Spanish boys in big hooded jackets came up.

I was hoping they�d pass by,

but they grabbed me

and told me if I made a noise,

they�d kill me right there,

and one put his jacket on me

and tied the hood tight and low on my face,

and then they started me walking between them

and telling me keep my head down

and just look at the ground.

Can you guess how long you walked, Anya?

I tried to count seconds.

1 and 2 and --

that was smart.

Counting that way,

I counted 16 1/2 minutes.

I-I heard a bunch of sounds,

but they could have been from any street.

But then after 11 minutes,

the one thing I know

is we went through some construction.

The sidewalk was dug out,

and we were walking on sand for about...40 steps.

That�s really helpful

that you paid attention to all that.

Thank you.

We walked up three flights in a building

that the front door wasn�t locked

and then into an apartment that wasn�t locked

and had a mattress...

With no sheets...

That was dirty,

and nothing else in the apartment

except venetian blinds.

They pulled down my underwear...

And pushed my skirt up...

And pushed my shirt and sweater up,

covering my face

and pushed my brassiere up.

And...

After 85 minutes...

Two new men came in, too.

None of them said their names.

They all smelled like beer.

If I had stayed late working or not

or I should have known or not --

you didn�t do anything wrong, Anya,

and what you just told me

is really going to help.

If I should have fought --

no, no, no. There were three of them

and then there were five of them.

If you�d have fought, they might have killed you.

Can you tell my parents?

They don�t know yet about the sex part.

There�s every element...

In the neighborhood where Anya works.

And new elements every day.

Is she all right?

Why is the door closed?

Anya�s asked me to tell you more about what happened --

more specific things about how she was attacked.

Thank god she�s all right.

She said she was.

Anya was attacked sexually,

and she had no opportunity to resist...

My god.

Which is why she�s not bruised.

We need to get Anya examined at a hospital.

As upset as you are,

you�re going to want to be with her and support her.

She said she wasn�t hurt.

She said she just wanted to report the incident.

I don�t know. I just got here.

Donny goode. I�m notified my uncle�s missing.

The investigating detectives are just on their way back.

Um...

Cancel the 10:00. Tell Trevor i�ll be there in an hour.

You ever bump into a guy named Blake from louisville?

What are you talking about?

Well, he probably killed my uncle.

I just thought your flight paths might have crossed.

Either of you two Sorenson?

Me. Are you Donny goode?

Yeah. What�s the story with my uncle?

Like I said on the phone, your uncle�s car is missing.

There�s indication of foul play.

We�re hoping you can give US some background.

My partner Andy sipowicz.

How�s it going, sipowicz? But, I mean, nothing further?

No, nothing further yet, Donny,

from the 20 minutes ago when my partner called.

Mr. Goode was saying

he thought his uncle had been killed

by a Blake from louisville.

No kidding?

Yeah, well, just guessing.

Well, come here, Donny, and fill US in.

Who�s Blake?

That guy�s gay, right?

Why?

I�m yanking his chain asking him about Blake.

Blake�s another fag.

I�m trying to remember taking a shine

to somebody right off the bat like I am to you.

I grow on people.

Why would you say

you thought Blake killed your uncle?

Well, because Walter just broke up with Blake.

Walter said Blake was being dramatic about it.

Otherwise, walter�s life was pretty normal.

He got other family, your uncle?

Just me.

He�s got a nice place.

Nice taupe Mercedes that�s missing.

Hey, guys, I have my own consulting firm

and 58,000 shares in the Magellan growth fund.

I don�t need to kill anybody.

You got an idea how we can reach out for this Blake?

Blake DeWitt.

I handled the kiss-off.

Don�t throw things at US, or we�ll throw things at you.

Mi dispiace.

I�m studying Italian.

Blake moved, but i�ve got his mommy�s number in there.

Hello? This is Danny, Mrs. DeWitt.

I�m a buddy of your son blake�s.

I got some concert tickets he might be interested in,

but the number he wrote out for me ain�t working.

Did he move or something? Yeah?

You got that new one for him?

You guys are dogs.

Shut your mouth.

You�re think of coming up from Lexington?

I know Blake, he�d be glad to see you,

but maybe you should give him time to get straight

at his new place, then he�ll be ready for guests.

Thanks an awful lot for the new phone number.

Take good care.

Blake just relocated with a new roommate.

You can trace his address off the phone number.

Where can we find you, Donny,

your stockbroker�s?

See how politely I just handed this back to you?

My stockbroker�s?

After I go, explain they invented the Internet.

See you, gorgeous.

Keep thinking you�re straight.

John...

That crack you made,

were you inferring that this Donny

inadvertently, without his knowing it...

On your side?

Please.

Pick up this Blake?

Look, the store�s around the corner

where I work,

and this is where I was waiting,

like I do every day.

They came from over there

and turned me

and walked me back the same way.

You�re positive about the direction?

Well, even with making me stare at the ground,

i�m 100% positive of the direction we took,

and I tried to keep regular count of the time.

Feel like walking a while?

And you want me to count exactly the same pace?

Yeah, exactly the same.

It was right not to let my parents come, right?

You were right, Anya.

This wouldn�t have done your mom or dad any good.

And it didn�t happen to them.

No...

It happened to you.

One-1,000...

Two-1,000...

Three-1,000...

Four-1,000...

For heaven�s sake.

Sit down over there.

Believe me or not, this is the first time

in my life i�ve been in a police station.

Why wouldn�t we believe you?

Well, good, �cause it�s the truth.

You got some idea what we want to talk to you about?

Walter goode�s car is missing.

If walter�s saying I took his car,

that�s an out-and-out lie.

You got no idea where it�s at?

If he�s saying otherwise, walter�s lying.

When�s the last you saw Walter?

3 weeks ago. 23 days.

You Mark them off on your calendar?

Yes.

It�s not just walter�s car, Blake.

He�s missing, too.

Maybe Walter took his car himself

and neither of them are missing.

Took off on a jaunt somewheres?

If that is what Walter did,

it would have been the absolute

best present in the world he could�ve given himself.

And leaving that little part of his head behind,

that would be his absolute best farewell present

to the parking garage floor?

What are you saying?

We think something bad might have happened to Walter, Blake.

My god.

My god in heaven.

Which his nephew says that you were pretty upset

when Walter broke up with you,

and we�re wondering

if you were upset enough that maybe it was you

that separated that little part of his head

that we found on the garage floor

from the rest of Walter.

I would never do anything to hurt Walter

or his car or, I hope, any living creature.

God, this is so terrible.

This new guy Phillip that you�re living with,

what�s he think about Walter?

Phillip doesn�t even know Walter.

But you don�t tell each other, like,

war stories of previous intimates?

Well, as far as that goes,

um, in terms of his role in my life,

Phillip said that Walter was Satan incarnate.

Phillip said that?

It was here.

I didn�t know people was in here.

You live on this floor? Down the hall.

Hear anything going on in this apartment last night?

Last night? No. World wide wrestling on TV.

They play that stuff pretty loud.

What�s your name?

Carlos jimenez. Can I go?

Yeah, you can go, Carlos.

Why, what went on in here?

Go ahead, Carlos.

He�s a son of a bitch to stand there and lie.

Was he one of them? The last one.

Carlos.

Yeah, what do you want?

I got to get you on the comings and goings.

What do you mean?

You got to work with me on the trespassing going on.

Yeah, but I don�t pay that much attention.

If you want to get back here

any time tonight, Carlos,

you better come in with me cooperative.

Yeah, right.

He didn�t even recognize her.

Not without her sweater over her head.

Is he going to be arrested?

It�ll get to that.

Did I help you by not showing I was afraid?

Come here.

Come here.

"Welcome to the pokey."

You got a little glum face in the "o"

and a stick figure in what�s intended to be the pokey.

Did you draw that?

So does it please you to know

you�ve cost a man his day�s salary?

Yeah, we�re sorry about that.

Well, that�s more than adequate compensation.

Does that peacock act drum up tips for you, Phil,

down there at the cafe?

What would you guess, detective?

Top of my head, no.

Well, since you�d never dined at the cafe,

your opinion isn�t really competent.

Although the top of your head is very ample.

You getting ready to go on a pudding diet, Phil?

Meaning you�re about to knock my teeth out?

Phillip, Walter goode�s gone missing.

That used to be your boyfriend�s lover.

So are we organizing search teams?

We�re wondering if maybe you�re who got him that way.

Missing, you mean.

Missing is what I mean.

No.

You don�t know nothing about Mr. Goode?

I know that Mr. Goode took a prurient pleasure

in turning Blake out as country trade.

I know his name confirms irony as a concept.

And that�s all I know

that i�m willing to share with the two of you.

You feel you should be earning on one of them quiz shows

with all this clever crap that you�re getting off,

and here we are wasting your time

just �cause a guy that you had a motive to hurt

got separated from some of his brain matter?

I�m going to hurry matters along, detective.

You have nowhere to go in your interrogation strategy

other than physical force, at which point

i�m immediately going to demand counsel.

Which you assume I am going to run and get you

instead of smacking you in the face.

You�re not willing to administer a beating

more severe than i�m prepared to take

when you�re not positive I committed the crime.

At this point, I think both of you realize

i�m not going to be responding

to all these soulful,

subliminal messages of support and understanding

that your colleague here is sending my way

so he can get me to act against my own interests.

I tell you all this

�cause i�m hoping I can make it to the cafe in time

to perform my peacock act for the late-lunch crowd.

Danny: So, Phillip,

don�t be expecting Blake home any time soon.

And they say the desaparecidos are in Argentina.

I thought that was all the gauchos.

You are a vulgar pig.

See, that�s the type of thing that makes you want to oink.

Any message you want US conveying to Blake?

Yeah, �cause we got the impression

that Blake looked to you as sort of a protector type.

No, no message I want you conveying.

I�ll tell him you said he�s on his own,

that�s life in the big city --

getting jammed for something you didn�t do.

You tell him that i�m going to widen the loop.

Widen the loop?

And do what, stick your weenie through it?

That guy�s tough.

What do you think, John?

You saw that whole interview, right?

I think he killed that other man.

How are we going to catch him?

Give me a chance. I�m new at this.

Sure. Take all the time you need.

Out of the blue, you know,

gay John passes a remark,

puts this asshole nephew we�re talking to

into total focus -- that he was himself a latent fruit.

But we don�t like the nephew for harming his uncle.

The nephew we only like for being a spoiled jerk.

It�s just, with gay John passing this perceptive remark,

Danny gets the idea, you know, that this is a gay murder,

or whatever happened with this missing Walter.

Why not have gay John watch the interview

with this other fruit Phillip --

we come out liking this Phillip,

but no real way to go at him.

But john�s got this idea how phillip�s going to act.

Off this phillip�s gay thinking

involving his gay boyfriend Blake.

I think we�ve got everyone established as gay.

Anyways, it�s risky where if anything goes wrong,

you could wind up your suspect has representation,

but I think you ought to listen to his thinking.

Don�t you agree?

Yeah, absolutely.

Go ahead.

I don�t think he�d kill him for money.

He�d do it because he couldn�t get

that other boy to hate him.

Names, John.

Phillip, blake�s present boyfriend,

is so afraid of everything --

let me collect myself.

See, that -- about Phillip being afraid of everything --

I don�t necessarily subscribe to

�cause we were on this Phillip pretty good,

and he didn�t give up nothing,

but I-I still go with his overall idea.

How about we let John say what his overall idea is?

Yeah, absolutely.

Phillip, blake�s current boyfriend,

can�t stand being compared to anyone...

We don�t have to start

with the formation of the solar system.

I�m a little nervous.

John�s overall point --

Phillip probably did away with Walter

�cause Blake that we�ve got in interview three

wouldn�t hate Walter

even though Walter busted up with him.

That�s it.

Which John thinks that this Phillip

is going to bring back a lawyer for Blake.

I think that�s what widening the loop meant.

But Blake ain�t looking for representation.

He wants walter�s disappearance solved.

So we should let Phillip

make his pitch to Blake about lawyering up,

and when Blake turns him down,

that�s going to get phillip�s nose open,

and we can go to work on him.

How open do you think the lawyer

standing next to him is going to let phillip�s nose get?

His point -- protecting his own sick ass

is going to be less important to Phillip

than getting Blake back on his team.

If Blake don�t want a lawyer, Phillip sends the lawyer away.

He needs to be the only thing in that boy�s head.

All right. If he comes back, let�s put them together.

How�s it going?

Those women detectives are staring daggers.

Don�t worry about them.

You and me are going to talk alone.

Does that mean I should worry about you?

We can take care of this here.

Would you be more comfortable in here?

Yeah, good. Keep me near the exit.

They say this is about trespassing

in that open apartment,

yeah. You see anything going on there last night?

Maybe some kids were around. No big deal.

They come around a lot?

Just sometimes. I hear them every once in a while.

You got names?

I don�t want to get them in trouble

or me in the middle of something.

You want to get out of here in a timely fashion,

i�m going to need names.

I only know one of them from church -- Eddie Felix.

Eddie Felix.

Yeah.

What happened is I went out taking out the trash,

and I heard them in there partying.

Partying like drinking, drugs?

No drugs, no.

Girls?

Look, i�m a family man, okay?

Married 18 years.

Okay.

Now, if we can keep this between US...

Sure.

They had a girl in there doing everyone.

Is that right?

Yeah.

I�m taking out the trash,

and I see this Eddie who I barely know.

He says, "hey, Carlos,

you want to put a hump on this girl?"

Family man or not, we all got urges, right?

Now, my wife and kids are in our apartment watching TV.

Hey, i�m taking out the trash. It�s a boring night.

Who would ever guess something exciting is happening?

Right next door.

Anyways, I went in there

and put a hump on the girl like Eddie suggested.

Girl seem like she was enjoying herself, Carlos?

I don�t know. She was kind of tired.

Been with four of them already.

Fifth man in.

I figured why is one more going to matter?

You got where Eddie lives?

Then I go?

Write down eddie�s address

and write down what you just told me,

then we�ll see if you can go.

Fifth man in, right?

What the hell?

Yeah, what the hell.

My name is darrel lyman. I�m an attorney.

Um, to speak to whom?

Blake DeWitt.

How�s it going? I�m working that case.

He�s abbott, that�s costello.

I�d like to see my client.

Mr. Dewitt�s turned down his right to a lawyer.

These manipulating sons of bitches.

Andy: Would that be Peter pot calling Karl kettle black?

I�d like to hear Mr. DeWitt decline.

Sure, okay. I guess that�s okay.

You don�t have to let him hear nothing.

No, it�s okay, Andy. He�s down here.

Whoa, hey.

Ix-nay on oing with them gay, Phil.

Yeah. This is just Mr. Lyman hearing him decline.

Fine. Great. Just tell him i�m here.

Hello.

This is Mr. Lyman. He�s a lawyer.

You need an attorney.

Hey.

Have you waived your right to counsel?

Yes. I want to help in solving walter�s disappearance.

Blake --

you heard it, counselor. Let�s go.

Pleased to meet you.

What�s the baseball look like this year, Phil?

You follow the Yankees, the mets?

Just my favorite gay players.

How is he? Did you tell him i�m here?

Blake seems all right,

and he has declined counsel, Phillip.

Did they beat him?

I hope to hell you laid on the makeup.

I didn�t get that close a look.

Why not?

Blake has declined representation, Phillip.

That�s the fun for you, isn�t it,

twisting people�s heads around?

He says he�s got no hard feelings.

I guess when they were together,

Walter showed him a good time.

Yes, Walter had deep pockets and an evil mind.

All right, Phillip.

He�s going over their life, who they met,

trying to help US come up with leads.

Anyway, I don�t think either of US

has a good reason to stay here right now.

If he changes his mind, please give this to Mr. DeWitt.

Sure, absolutely.

I want to talk to him.

Let�s get a cup of coffee.

Can I talk to him?

We�d need more cooperation than our last talk, Phillip.

Some prior conversation with US

before we let you talk to Blake.

I am counsel to Phillip Rogers. That�s not going to happen.

I talk to you if you promise,

in front of these witnesses, I can talk to Blake.

You don�t think they can get inside your head, too?

That�s a challenge I think i�m equal to.

Do I need to say something to make this official?

"You�re fired" gets it done.

Phillip --

you�re fired!

Let�s go talk down here.

What have you got Blake thinking about me?

Did Phil get the idea he was going to be interviewing US?

If he�s turning down representation,

I can only imagine what you�ve got him thinking.

You�ll get that from Blake after we have our talk.

I expect Blake and I will be riding then in a hansom cab

in the botanical gardens.

You know you�re not getting out of here.

Don�t you think you�d be more within your comfort zone

probing the psyche of chimps?

You�re going to give it up so you can hold Blake

and tell him you love and wish him happiness -- boo-hoo-hoo --

and will he write you long letters in prison.

I want to see him.

Phillip, the great running back o. J. Simpson --

that was found not guilty by a jury of his peers --

when he come back from Chicago, before he went in

to be interviewed by the l. A. Detectives,

the great Simpson dismissed counsel exactly how you did,

and, Phil, so you know where you stand,

if the great Simpson had gone in with me

after witnesses heard him let his lawyers go,

that murdering prick�s only chance of walking out

of that interview room before I got his confession

would have been an earthquake.

Which I gather sometimes does occur in that area.

Give it up.

Why don�t you go on to the beating?

No one�s looking to do that.

Nobody wants to beat you.

That�s a crock. You�d love to beat me.

No.

Isn�t that your version of sex?

Isn�t that what you�d have done to Simpson?

I�d have told him that when his ex-wife died

and that waiter in the wrong place at the wrong time,

was the night weeks before when he come to talk to her

and their kids were asleep upstairs,

and through the window he sees her going down

on whoever that was that she had on the living room sofa.

People�s passions get the best of them.

And if he goes over, maybe two weeks later,

and he�s had too much to drink like I have 5,000 times,

or he�s put something up his nose

and he�s going to do vandalism on her car --

and that�s all he�s planning to do.

That�s all he went over intending to do.

He�s putting a dent in a Mercedes,

the color of which

someone should�ve had the taste not to conceive.

Something�s in front of him he hadn�t expected.

That kills kindness and sweetness and pity.

And that emotion explodes.

It just explodes! It explodes!

I put a hammer 2 inches into his head.

And i�m afraid to hammer a nail.

And a minute before,

if you�d told him he was going to do it,

he�d have taken any bets against it you wanted to make.

Hi.

We think it�s time for Anya to come home.

How�s it going with the case?

One man�s in custody, and he gave US the name

of one of the other perpetrators.

Anya�s looking at photos,

trying to identify the other three men who assaulted her.

Anyway, we think it�s time for her to come home.

Anya wants to spend more time to see

if she can identify the other three men.

She wants to or you�re making her?

We do feel, it�s,

somewhat time for her to come home.

It�s what Anya feels that we�re going to go by.

Do you want to talk to her?

We want you to let her come home.

This terrible thing has happened to your daughter.

She�s found a way to feel she�s getting

a little control of her life back.

Of course Anya can go home,

but if she wants to stay,

can�t you be brave enough to let her?

I think we should let her, somewhat, Janet,

if -- if she wants to.

And then you�d arrange for her transportation home?

Yeah, we�d bring Anya home.

Police transportation.

I guess that�s as safe as you can get.

Fine, then.

It�s a fine way to end it.

End what?

We brought her in,

and now we can�t get her out.

Come here.

I want to stay, mama.

Fine, then.

I�m fine. You and daddy go home.

Okay?

So she�s alone with every element.

Yeah, she�s all alone with detective Jones.

You�ll see she gets home?

I don�t see you working on your 5 there, John.

Crucial as you were to the case,

let�s not be tardy with our paperwork.

Could I see that poor young man?

Blake?

That�s waiting to say farewell to Phillip?

Would that be inappropriate?

Well, he�s not in custody.

No, he�s just waiting to say farewell.

Why? What do you want to do?

He�s alone, and I feel it might be helpful.

Let him know phillip�s going over

in around half an hour.

To the tombs.

He�s in interview three, Blake.

Thank you.

Probably wants to exchange phone numbers.

He could do worse, that Blake.

Phillip will be leaving for central booking

in half an hour.

All right, thanks.

My name is John Irvin, and i�m a civilian aide.

Blake DeWitt. How do you do?

How do you do?

What�s, um,

a civilian aide�s responsibilities?

They vary. Um...

Blake, I know just now you feel lost and confused.

How do you know that?

I just do,

and I hope you won�t give in to despair.

That�s what I want to tell you.

It�s so hard making sense of our lives,

or I guess I mean to say, making our lives sensible.

We�re in a strange city.

We begin a different lifestyle completely,

maybe not exactly sure inside

if the changes we�re choosing

are right necessarily,

even if they�re right for US.

It�s so easy to become confused.

It�s so hard to love ourselves

and to find what�s good for our lives,

and then to experience something

like you�ve just experienced...

I want you to know

it�s possible to make your way,

and that happiness, friendship,

the sun rising and setting,

the birds in the wind at the harbor,

they�re all here, too, Blake,

as much for you as for anyone else

in the world.

Thank you very much.

I really appreciate that, John.

You�re welcome.
