he either had a body

in the trunk or enough crack

to kill an elephant.

So I step up to him

and I show my badge and I say,

"Yo, sir, excuse me.

I am a Chicago Police Detective.

Could you please step away

from the vehicle?

>> Oh, yeah, that "please" gets

them crackheads all the time.

What did he do?

>> Nothing for about

10 or 20 seconds,

and it seemed like a lifetime.

Sweat's pouring off his forehead

and I just know that gun's

gonna come out from underneath

his raincoat, right?

>> And go on. What?

>> Well, I pulled my gun.

And right at that very moment,

I said, "You know,

if I hadn't have smacked

that guy 15 years ago

for goosing me, I'd still be

for goosing me, I'd still be
a flight attendant."

I didn't see it

underneath the overcoat.

And here I was-- I was getting

the cramps trying to figure out

if I'm gonna shoot him

before he'd shoot me first.

Shoot, I bought him lunch,

drove him home,

You're the pro.

You pass them out

And if any of these chicks

>> You know, Harry,

I like it when things match.

>> What the fuck

are you talking about?

>> You know, like my shoes,

my threads, my neighbors.

So when I see your wife

with all them bruises

all over her, I say to myself,

"Hey, yo, Della,

Pamela and Harry,

I'm just trying to make you two

more of a matching set.

>> What you doing here?

The donut shop burn down?

>> "Harlan, good morning.

How are you? Long time no see.

Would you like to have

breakfast with us?"

Jerry's got a hot one for us.

>> Yeah, well, I got

a hot one for Jerry.

I spent the entire night

processing Chester the Molester

until 4:00 a.m. this morning.

And as soon as I get

these kids off to school,

I am going to bed.

>> Can we stay home

with you, Mama?

>> Yeah, I can send the e-mail.

"Kids too sick to go to school."

>> I don't think so.

That's not gonna fly

in this house.

>> Flew last week

when you were out all night.

when you were out all night.
>> Busted!

>> Busted!

>> Well, maybe this

Vera Church was strang--

>> Eeh.

Boys, go wash your hands

before you eat.

Go on.

Go on.

>> Vera Church was strangled

last night.

>> [ gasping ]

>> Is Vera Church the one

with the OB-GYN?

>> Mm-hmm. Sam Charney

and Sam Charney's baby.

And get this--

Jerry's got the new assistant

state's attorney on his ass

and he wants to nail somebody.

>> Namely Charney

who is this week's special

Motives 'R' Us.

>> Well, she did ruin his life.

>> Oh, come on.

He ruined his own life

and hers.

I mean, he was the only man

she could trust her body with.

Come on.

>> How about we go down

and see Charney

and find out for ourselves?

Hmm?

>> Yeah, okay.

But he's gonna have to stand

But he's gonna have to stand
in line behind Donald Duck.

in line behind Donald Duck.

>> Dr. Samuel Charney?

I'm Detective Wilder.

This is my partner,

Detective Lee.

May we speak with you

for a moment?

>> Can you give us

a minute, please?

>> Woman: Follow me, please.

>> Is something wrong?

>> It depends if you think

something's wrong finding

Vera Church dead last night.

Vera Church dead last night.

Vera Church dead last night.
>> What happened?

>> What happened?

Do you know who did it?

>> We will.

Our witness says it was

a big man with blond hair.

>> [ sighs ]

>> What were you doing

yesterday evening at 6:00?

>> I had a racquetball game.

>> Can you prove it?

>> Yeah. You can talk

>> Yeah. You can talk
to Rick Harwell, my partner.

to Rick Harwell, my partner.

God, I can't believe it.

She was here yesterday.

>> What did you do

to your hand, Doctor?

>> Oh, I got hit by a racquet.

>> You sure you didn't get into

a little fight with Vera Church?

>> She needed my help.

>> Oh, yeah, I bet she did.

Ex-patient who you

sweet-talked from the stirrups

to the bedroom, get pregnant,

drag into court

so she can't abort the baby,

which she miscarried anyway--

>> Ease up, Della.

>> She wanted the abortion

>> She wanted the abortion
and I wanted the baby.

and I wanted the baby.

>> Yeah, if you can't control

her body, who can, hmm?

You know, that-- the two years

of malpractice suspension

really gave you enough time

to think about it.

You do a real slow burn,

don't you, Doctor?

>> What is this? Are you making

this up as you go along?

>> Why don't you just tell us

what you know?

>> Oh, I know what you're doing.

This is your

good-cop/bad-cop routine.

>> Yeah, and you got

a serious problem

'cause I'm the good cop.

>> She walks in here,

tells me that there's something

terribly wrong with her body,

that she's in constant pain.

She wants me to take a look.

>> And it just had to be you?

>> Well, she was afraid

of her own doctor because

she held him responsible.

So I gave her something

for the pain,

but I didn't examine her.

>> We're Homicide,

not Malpractice, so we'll stick

with you for now.

with you for now.
>> I certainly didn't kill her.

>> I certainly didn't kill her.

I loved her.

>> Well, love's a rotten alibi.

>> It's a good motive.

>> But a rotten alibi.

It's like, "Oh, I love her

so much, I couldn't beat her,

rape her, or kill her."

Not very original, Doctor.

>> Do you think I did it?

>> Well, from the words

of my ex-husband--

"You'll do until something

better comes along."

We take confessions.

We take confessions.
You don't have to be Catholic.

You don't have to be Catholic.

>> Rick: Honey, baby, stop it.

I told you it was gonna be--

>> Rick.

>> Hold on.

>> Mr. Grimes wants to see you.

>> Shit. Okay.

>> Shit. Okay.
Gotta go, okay? Bye.

Gotta go, okay? Bye.

Gotta go, okay? Bye.
>> [ elevator bell dings ]

>> [ elevator bell dings ]

>> Hi.

I have an appointment

with Mr. Grimes.

with Mr. Grimes.
>> He's waiting for you.

>> He's waiting for you.

>> Uh, Mr. Grimes?

>> Uh, Mr. Grimes?
>> Rick. Come on in.

>> Rick. Come on in.

>> Rick. Come on in.
Sit down.

Sit down.

You heard about Kaulentis?

>> First thing

this morning, sir.

>> Tragic loss.

>> Yes, sir.

>> As his best salesperson,

I'm sure you're fully aware

of all the hard work

he put into developing

the Women's Products Division

here at Benning.

>> Yes, sir, I am.

>> I think we owe it to him

to carry on that work.

Don't you?

>> We certainly do, sir.

>> Good.

Now, you know the products

and you know the market.

You know where we've been,

where we are,

and most importantly

and most importantly
where we want to be.

where we want to be.

If you're up to the challenge,

Rick, I'd like you to take over

as Vice President

as Vice President
of Women's Products.

of Women's Products.

of Women's Products.
What do you say to that?

What do you say to that?

>> Thank you, sir.

>> That's terrific.

Mimi will pass by later today

and talk salary.

>> Okay.

>> Explain your new

benefits package.

If you have any questions,

any problems, you know

where to find me.

>> I do, sir.

>> Good.

There's just

one more thing, Rick.

This is a pharmaceutical

company.

Any misapplication of drugs

by our executives, well,

it makes us all look--

look bad.

Understand?

>> I know exactly

what you mean, sir.

>> Good. Good.

You have my word

that Benning Labs will do

everything we can

to protect you.

>> From what?

>> From what?
>> Anything that might come up.

>> Anything that might come up.

>> Jerry: Yeah, a big jump

from the ring to-- what was it--

LA DA's Office?

>> Never been a civil servant.

I started out doing divorces.

>> Divorce?

That's big money in LA.

And you came here to do this?

>> I usually went into the ring

as an underdog.

I didn't win all my fights,

but I always won the crowd.

No one cheers

for divorce lawyers.

I just missed being

the good guy.

>> [ knocking ]

>> You wanted to see us, sir?

>> You wanted to see us, sir?
>> Come in, Detectives.

>> Come in, Detectives.

So, did you find me a bad guy?

>> Well, we, uh, may be

onto something.

>> Don't tell me. Sam Charney?

>> You read our minds, sir.

>> No, I read

the trial transcripts.

I particularly liked the part

where he says he wanted

to be a gynecologist

because he loved women.

>> Yeah, he loved them to death.

>> I don't know.

You got any fingerprints

or clothing-- something

that can buy us a warrant?

>> No, but we will get one, sir.

>> Well, I'm sure

if there's a way--

>> If?

Captain, there's always a way.

You ever watch Ali fight?

Stevenson or Louis?

>> No, I don't get off watching

grown men beat each other up.

>> It's a pity.

It's actually quite educational.

Sooner or later,

they'll give you an opening.

Whoa!

[ laughs ]

Even the best of them.

It might last a millisecond,

but there'll always be

an opening.

[ grunting ]

[ laughs ]

That's why I, um--

I studied boxing.

It taught me how to find it

and move in, without thought

or hesitation, for the kill.

>> You have many kills

in the ring, sir?

>> Always tried, Lee.

>> Always tried, Lee.
I always tried.

I always tried.

>> Oh, boy, what a guy.

>> Yeah, just what we need--

another fried-chicken-eating,

collard-green-eating,

cornbread-smacking,

egotistical boss who's gonna

tell us how to do our job.

Whatever happened to

"Let's plant the evidence

and scare the confession

out of him" good old days, huh?

>> Oh, lighten up, Della.

We can still bend the rules

with the best of 'em.

>> [ elevator bell dings ]

>> [ sighs ]

Yeah, it's gonna be

a lot of bending.

>> [ phone ringing ]

>> Can you believe it, huh?

Six weeks' vacation.

>> Shh!

>> What?

>> Everyone can hear.

>> So what?

They all work for me now.

They all work for me now.
They doubled my salary.

They doubled my salary.

Let's go celebrate.

>> Oh, shit. We can't.

>> Why?

>> My dad gets off early today.

>> My dad gets off early today.
Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.
>> I know a place we can go.

>> I know a place we can go.

>> Sammy.

>> Rick.

>> Sophie's downstairs.

I need the keys to your place.

I'll make the bed.

I'll wash the sheets.

I'll scrub the toilet

with a toothbrush.

>> Go to a hotel.

>> What, are you nuts?

My wife checks

the credit cards,

my phone bills.

Okay, listen.

Sammy, have a heart.

Let the victor have his spoils.

>> What are you talking about?

>> Promotion came through.

Top slot Women's Products.

>> Didn't the guy

just die yesterday?

>> Yeah, what can I tell ya?

You are a saint.

You are a saint.
I'll bring it right back.

I'll bring it right back.

You have any rubbers?

>> Got a box in the bathroom.

>> Great. Thanks.

>> And there's some

And maybe even some

in the living room

under the couch.

>> Cool.

>> Cool.

>> Della: Well, if she was

seeing another OB-GYN,

she didn't pay with

a credit card or a check.

>> This whole suitcase thing

is still kind of weird.

>> Well, what is it

you're not getting?

I mean, how was he gonna get

a body out of the apartment

into a dumpster or a river?

>> How?

Well, he didn't own a car

and he certainly didn't

rent a car.

>> What about a taxi?

>> Della, who's gonna help him

put it in a trunk?

>> Lab report says the suitcase

>> Lab report says the suitcase
was made in Poland.

was made in Poland.

>> Well, that's another

easy trace, yeah?

>> Yeah.

Also, that La Montana place--

some kind of fancy resort

for the high class.

Belongs to Benning Labs.

Just my kind of place.

>> Thanks, Palocci.

Wow, look at this.

The blood we found at Vera's

wasn't hers.

>> Booya!

Now it's time to tap

the doctor's veins, huh?

>> [ distant siren wailing ]

>> Man: Well, there was--

there was no answer here,

so I used my key.

>> Harlan: And?

>> Man: Well, I can see somebody

was in the bed, so I says,

"Dr. Charney,

I'm here to install

the carbon monoxide detectors,"

and there was no answer.

So I walk over and--

boom, the guy's dead.

Only, hello--

it ain't Dr. Charney,

it's some other guy.

>> So what did you do?

>> Well, I took a closer look.

You know, just to be sure.

And I notice he's got

these marks around his neck.

So I figure he must have

been strangled.

>> Really?

>> Yeah.

>> And then?

>> Oh, well, I dropped

to my knees and I crossed myself

and I said, "Thank you, Jesus."

>> Now, why would you do that?

>> Well, pally,

if he'd have died

of carbon monoxide poisoning,

I'd have been screwed.

These detectors were supposed

to be in last week.

>> Well, you sure lucked out,

>> Well, you sure lucked out,
didn't you?

didn't you?

>> Still dead?

>> Still dead.

>> Then I guess he can't

tell us you were with him

when Vera was murdered.

>> Oh, you think

I killed him, too?

>> Prove me wrong.

>> If I killed him,

why would I call you?

Obviously, it wasn't

to ask you out for dinner.

I have my pride, you know.

>> [ Della laughs ]

Why would you think

I would even consider

having dinner with you?

>> Why not?

I happen to find you

quite an attractive woman.

Don't tell me you're unaware

of the chemistry between us.

>> The only chemistry

between you and me

is gonna be a DNA test.

And I'd be really surprised

if it doesn't tell us

you iced Vera.

>> Is that how you describe

the death of a young woman?

"Iced Vera"?

How am I supposed

to take you seriously, Della?

>> Don't ever call me Della.

>> Come on, Romeo.

>> Come on, Romeo.
Let's go draw some blood, huh?

Let's go draw some blood, huh?

Let's go draw some blood, huh?
>> Asshole.

>> Asshole.

>> Harlan: So the hit you took

on your hand-- would Ricky

have mentioned it to anyone?

>> You would have to ask him,

wouldn't you?

>> Where were you

this afternoon?

>> I was taking a nap.

>> A nap?

>> In my office.

>> A nap!

>> Well, first I got depressed,

and then I took a nap.

>> I guess you're

off the hook, then.

I didn't know you had

an iron-clad alibi.

>> Look, my heart goes out

to you guys.

You're overworked and underpaid,

but don't just grab

the first thing

that resembles a clue.

I would like to help.

>> [ laughs ] And how are you

gonna help us, hmm?

I don't need anyone killed.

Do you need anyone killed?

>> Do you know about

>> Do you know about
Rick's promotion?

Rick's promotion?

He was very excited about it.

>> Got a meeting with Grimes.

He told me last week

that they're bumping me

upstairs any day now.

Any day.

>> Oddly enough,

the guy he was supposed

to replace just happened

to replace just happened
to drive off a cliff.

to drive off a cliff.

>> Dr. Charney, get in there

>> Dr. Charney, get in there
and give some blood.

and give some blood.

>> Oh, Miss Wilder,

if my DNA doesn't match,

if my DNA doesn't match,
how about dinner?

how about dinner?

>> Did he just hit on me?

>> Cruise missile, baby.

Cruise missile.

Aw, jeez, are you nuts

Come on, I want that door fixed.

This is between me and my wife.

Now you stay out of this.

>> Pammy, are you in there?

Are you okay?

>> [ crying ] Yeah, I'm fine.

>> Well, if you're okay,

come on out, okay?

>> Yeah, come on out, Pammy.

>> Yeah, come on out, Pammy.
We got company.

We got company.

>> Pammy, what did he do to you?

>> Nothing. I just fell.

>> Fell?

Under the third at Arlington?

Under the third at Arlington?
>> She said she fell.

>> She said she fell.

>> Pammy, he's gonna

kill you, girl.

>> [ laughs ]

I won't have to.

You don't get that door fixed,

some junkie's gonna come in here

and kill us both, huh?

Now get out of my house

and call a locksmith!

>> Pammy, leave him.

Leave him.

You don't have to stay here.

I'll find you a place.

You don't have to,

you understand me?

>> Yeah, she's dying

to leave me, huh?

Dying to give up sleeping in

as long as she wants

and not having to go to work

and driving-- driving

my car around town like

she's the Queen of Logan Square.

Huh, Pammy?

>> Pam.

>> Pammy.

>> Bogdziewicz, Mirek.

>> What is that?

Make yourselves comfortable.

He'll be out of his meeting

You knew Rick Harwell, right?

Do you know if he had

any enemies?

>> Please, have a seat.

>> Yeah, he played

racquetball a lot.

>> With Charney?

>> Sometimes.

>> How recently?

>> I don't know.

>> And he never mentioned

anything about hitting

Charney's hand with his racquet?

>> No. Nothing.

>> We understand that this is

a particularly difficult time

a particularly difficult time
for you.

for you.

>> Losing two

division vice presidents

on the eve of our

75th anniversary celebration,

I certainly hope

there's an answer here.

>> Mr. Grimes, there are

two close acquaintances

of Rick Harwell that have stated

that he was promised

a big promotion last week,

even though the man he replaced

died two days ago.

>> That's absolutely right.

I told him last week that

he would be moving upstairs.

>> To head

the Women's Products Division?

>> Not specifically.

That just happened to be

That just happened to be
the first slot that was open.

the first slot that was open.

>> Sophie, you were

more than a secretary to him,

more than a secretary to him,
weren't you?

weren't you?

>> I don't know

what you're talking about.

>> Perfume doesn't lie.

You're wearing

Evening in Lockup,

the same scent

that was on Rick's pillow.

Now, you wanna be a witness

or you wanna be a suspect?

>> You see, Rick was tops

on our list of promotions.

He was a real go-getter.

>> Word on the street has it

that he consumed enough cocaine

that even Jabba the Hutt

would be a go-getter.

>> Well, we wouldn't be

much of a pharmaceutical company

if we didn't believe

in the rehabilitative powers

of the human body, now would we?

>> [ crying ]

I can't get involved in this.

>> Why?

You're running for office?

You're running for office?
>> I'm engaged!

>> I'm engaged!

>> You know anyone who would

>> You know anyone who would
want Mr. Harwell dead?

want Mr. Harwell dead?

>> That's a joke, right?

>> My fiancé will kill me.

>> Well, then he shouldn't

be your fiancé.

And if the hairs match the ones

that we found on Rick's body,

that we found on Rick's body,
you shouldn't be his.

you shouldn't be his.

>> [ Harlan clears throat ]

What do you know

about La Montana?

>> Everything. We own it.

>> Vera Church ever been there?

>> This might come

as a surprise, Detective,

but guest registers are not

my idea of stimulating reading.

>> Maybe we can change

your mind.

>> Look, I'll do anything.

>> Look, I'll do anything.
Just keep me out of it.

Just keep me out of it.

Just keep me out of it.
>> Thanks for your time.

>> Thanks for your time.

>> Mr. Grimes,

don't leave town.

don't leave town.
Just kidding.

Just kidding.

>> You know we're gonna hear

from him soon.

>> The louder Grimes cries,

the dirtier he is.

>> What's his connection

to Vera?

>> Sex, money.

What else is there?

>> And what about

our illustrious Dr. Charney?

>> I think it's like this--

I think Charney's practice

was finished.

He got his license back.

But for who?

No women who were in town

the day his court case

was playing on the news.

So his friend Rick

gets him a job at Benning,

just in time when Vera shows up

to drop another bombshell.

>> Such as?

>> Maybe Benning's using Charney

to unload some bad drugs,

you know, factory seconds,

expired stuff, you know.

'Cause if the word got out

that Benning was using

some contaminated stuff,

there'd be a panic.

So Vera was trying to shake down

Grimes and Charney, maybe both.

They hire somebody to kill her

and then kill Rick.

Grimes ain't talking

'cause it's his company.

Charney ain't talking

'cause it's his ass.

'cause it's his ass.
>> [ elevator bell dings ]

>> [ elevator bell dings ]

>> So why would Grimes

tell Ricky about the promotion?

>> Give him a false sense

of security until the time

is right to kill him.

>> The same day?

>> Why not?

>> Well, you got it all

figured out, huh?

figured out, huh?
>> I'm glad you think so.

>> I'm glad you think so.

>> Um, I made them myself.

Would you like?

>> Oh, thank you, no.

>> Would you?

>> [ piano music playing ]

>> Where did you meet

Bogdziewicz?

>> In church last year.

We dated and he stayed

sometimes.

>> Where is his work office?

>> Lakeview.

But he didn't talk about it--

his work, his home.

He was a very, very private guy.

>> When was the last time

you saw him?

>> He stopped calling me

about a month ago.

>> Any idea what happened

to him?

>> No.

Maybe he went back to his wife.

Maybe he went back to his wife.
Maybe she killed him.

Maybe she killed him.

But, you know, I have something

that maybe you want to see.

One moment.

He-- he leave these things here.

I-- I never looked at them.

Please.

>> These are good.

What do you call them?

What do you call them?
>> Cookies. [ laughs ]

>> Cookies. [ laughs ]

>> Well, for someone who's been

in a relationship, you sure

weren't interested in him.

>> I don't know--

I got what I wanted.

I got what I wanted.
It wasn't information.

It wasn't information.

It wasn't information.
>> We got something.

>> We got something.

>> We're having a handwriting

expert look at the ledger.

If you and your Polish princess

are trying to scam me,

your ass is oatmeal.

>> Do you talk like this

all the time?

>> Like what?

>> My ass is oatmeal?

I don't even know what it means.

Do you?

You don't have to

over-compensate for being

a woman by pretending

you're Barton MacLane.

>> Who in the hell

is Barton MacLane?

>> He's an actor in a movie--

"The Treasure

of the Sierra Madre."

If you haven't seen it,

we should rent it sometime.

>> When and if you get

out of jail.

>> [ sighs ]

All 10 women were single,

>> Why do you have to insist in

looking in the wrong direction?

Look, I didn't kill Vera.

I'm a doctor.

I cure people.

I cure people.
>> Well, where would you look?

>> Well, where would you look?

The autopsy report.

The autopsy report.
>> Right.

>> Right.

>> Well, I thought

I was about to get a collar

for Vera Church's murder.

Instead I got a phone call.

You're questioning

Walker Grimes.

>> We're trying to break

Charney's alibi, sir.

>> By harassing the CEO

of Benning Labs?

Am I missing something here

or are you two guys

way off the track?

>> Sir, have you seen

the autopsy report

on Vera Church?

>> Hasn't come in. So what?

>> Well, we're gonna need

a 24-hour watch on her.

>> Why? You think she's gonna

make a break for it?

>> Captain, you gotta call

the coroner's office and get

a rush on that autopsy report.

>> Before I do it myself.

>> She was strangled.

I'll tell you something--

King, he ain't looking

for her lungs, her spleen,

her pancreas.

He's looking for an arrest.

>> Mm-hmm.

Well, wait until he sees

Well, wait until he sees
this ledger.

this ledger.

>> Are you sure that ledger

is authentic?

And you have no idea

what this amount

of $2,500 means?

>> Not really.

Sir, do we have

the autopsy report

on Vera Church yet?

>> No. That's my fault.

>> It's been three days.

>> Tell me about it.

I didn't want to march

into the coroner's office,

that's all backed up anyway,

and start throwing

my weight around

like the new asshole

on the block just to push

an obvious strangulation victim

to the front of the line.

>> You know what? I was thinking

maybe there's more to it.

You know, the women

are still missing

and Vera Church

was in a suitcase

ready to be missing.

>> So you're saying

Charney's not our guy?

>> Either that

or Charney's our man

or Charney's our man
10 times over.

10 times over.

>> I'll get this ledger

to the FBI.

See what they make out of it.

Captain Crandall,

you wanna get them some help?

>> Sir, we don't need any help.

We just need

the autopsy report.

the autopsy report.
>> I'll see what I can do.

>> I'll see what I can do.

>> Do you really think he's

gonna give the FBI that ledger?

>> I hope not.

>> I hope not.

What a pleasant surprise.

>> We gotta talk.

>> We gotta talk.
>> Come in.

>> Come in.

>> You said you talked to Vera

the day she was murdered, right?

>> I left a message

on her machine, yeah.

>> I got bad news for you, Doc.

You know the dead guy

they found in your bed?

they found in your bed?
That was supposed to be you.

That was supposed to be you.

[ sighs ]

Somebody took the tape,

figuring that you talked to her

and possibly examined her.

>> And discovered something

I wasn't supposed to see.

>> Big time.

That's why we gotta go

pay her a visit.

>> So...

you're asking me for help?

Why would I help you?

>> You wouldn't

just be helping me.

You'd be helping yourself.

>> Okay.

Let me buy you

>> [ coin clinks ]

>> [ coin clinks ]
>> Don't you ever touch me.

>> Don't you ever touch me.

>> Don't you ever touch me.
>> You should check it out.

>> You should check it out.

>> Jerry don't know.

Nobody knows.

We snuck the bodies out

and we hid them.

Yeah, look, I was trying

not to get you involved.

>> Della, you're a cop, you're

not a goddamn executioner.

You can't go killing fools

and not tell anyone.

And you can't take

the prime suspect

of a page-one homicide

and have him do

an unauthorized autopsy

on his victim!

on his victim!
You can't do that!

You can't do that!

Della, you gotta get control

of your emotions, all right?

>> Don't give me that PMS shit!

>> I didn't say anything

about PMS!

>> You don't have to.

I know how men think.

A woman gets

a little pissed off,

a little out of control,

and automatically you think,

"Oh, here it comes--

five more days of PMS!"

>> Five more days my ass!

You were born with it!

Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I didn't even want to

tell you this, but you didn't

have to pull that shit

that you did last night.

>> Meaning?

>> I paid a few house calls

on some of Vera's

nine sorority sisters.

I pulled a print off

of number three's toilet and--

you're gonna love this one--

off a contact lens

on number eight's kitchen floor.

Both match the print

on the suitcase.

>> When did you do that?

Where was I?

>> You were at the morgue

>> You were at the morgue

>> Charney called it--

10 names, one killer.

So who is he?

>> Don't know.

No priors,

no military service, nothing.

>> Does Jerry know that?

>> Ha, not yet.

>> Don't tell nobody. Nobody.

>> Della, he's gonna know

in a couple of days.

He's gonna see the paperwork.

>> Mr. Fingerprints

is just a closer.

He was sent in by someone

to clean up a mess

they didn't want seen,

hide bodies they didn't

want autopsied.

We gotta find those women

or whatever's left of them.

>> Della, we don't have that--

>> We'll make time.

>> Yeah? How?

>> We'll make an arrest.

>> What?

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.
>> Jerry: Della?

I don't wanna talk to you.

I don't want even to see you.

If you didn't have kids,

I'd fire your ass right now.

>> Jerry, the man

was beating his wife.

>> Do me a favor--

when you're called

before the Office

of Professional Standards

to respond to this complaint,

plead temporary insanity.

>> What?

>> Tell them that

you are delusional, that you

misread your pay stub,

that you thought it read

"Feminist Vigilante Patrol"

instead of the "Chicago

Police Department."

Never-- never do this again.

Do I make myself clear?

>> Yeah.

>> Clearer than the conversation

we had six months ago regarding

your cleaning lady's boyfriend?

Clearer than in July '98

regarding your kids'

swimming instructor stepfather?

>> Yeah.

>> Good.

Then get the hell

out of my sight.

>> Della, what's going on?

>> You're being framed.

>> Do you understand?

>> By whom?

>> By me. If they think

we've got you pegged, then they

won't keep sniffing around.

>> So what's the good news?

>> Sheila Dawn Webber,

number four on the list,

is in a resort

in Oscoda, Michigan.

And get this-- number nine,

Lisa Sears, had vibrators.

>> Vibrators?

As in coochie toys?

>> I had the lab check 'em out.

They're hot with radiation.

>> So we have all these

radioactive women.

How are we gonna connect

all this?

>> [ sighs ]

We're never gonna bust

this case.

We can't.

We're taking on big business.

>> So?

>> Della,

before we bring 'em down,

they're gonna kill me,

they're gonna kill you,

they're gonna kill your kids.

Go back to the wife-beaters.

>> Jerry: They have no idea.

Babysitter said she packed

an overnight bag,

doesn't know where to.

>> The point person

in a front-page murder case,

and you just let her

skip town without a trace?

>> First, Della Wilder

is a very willful woman.

There is no question

of letting her do anything.

Second, I do know

how to find her.

>> How?

>> Well, wherever she is

I figure she'd call

her kids, right?

>> Maybe.

She doesn't impress me

as much of a mother.

>> Well, you're wrong.

Anyway, I ordered a tap

on her phone.

>> It makes sense.

>> Except there already

is a tap on it

ordered by your office

on Wednesday afternoon,

15 minutes after she left here,

having requested an autopsy

on Vera Church.

>> I told you how important

this case was.

I wasn't about to lose control

of the situation.

Yes, I tapped her phone.

Evidently, I didn't go

nearly far enough.

Is there anything else?

>> I'll let you know.

>> I'll let you know.
I'm checking on it.

I'm checking on it.

>> It was a classified ad.

$50 for completing

a medical questionnaire.

When I got there,

the doctor asked if I'd

be interested in testing

a new birth control procedure.

>> And you agreed?

>> I was broke.

I couldn't say no to $2,500.

Plus another $2,500 at the end.

After 10 years on the pill,

when I heard there would be

no headaches, no cramping,

no mood swings...

>> What was the procedure like?

>> He described it

as a synthetic hormone

that would coat my ovaries

for two years so the eggs

couldn't get out.

>> Is that some kind

of radioactive hormone?

>> Wait a second.

How did they give you

the hormone?

the hormone?
>> Through an IV.

>> Through an IV.

>> What? What is it?

>> It's something called

"nuclear imaging."

A radioactive isotope

is attached to the hormone

so it can be monitored

in the blood stream.

It's a very small dose.

It passes through the system

in a day.

It's not supposed to be harmful.

>> A couple of months.

And then I started bleeding.

And then I started bleeding.
And then the pain...

And then the pain...

>> What did the doctor say?

>> He said it was

a temporary hormonal change.

>> You never saw another doctor?

>> I signed

a confidentiality agreement.

Besides, he told me

he was getting the medication

to reverse the process,

to come back in a month.

But I never saw him again.

>> Why not?

>> I went with a friend

>> I went with a friend

I don't know, the phone's

regarding an order

placed by Benning Labs.

>> Yes. Yes,

that order was placed

on December 8th, 1996,

I believe.

Yes, it was for 100 millicuries

Yes, it was for 100 millicuries
of technetium-99m.

of technetium-99m.

>> Was the diagnosis

associated with the experiment?

>> Yes, the nuclear label.

They said I was fried

by something a lot more potent

than technetium-99m.

>> The order was cancelled

on December 14th,

so there was no purchase

and no delivery.

>> They never made the buy?

>> Mm, no, no, no.

>> Hmm.

Are you the only distributor

in town?

>> Well, we should be.

But since the breakup

of the Soviet Union,

there's been a thriving

black market

for these materials.

But Detective Lee should have

all this information.

I faxed it to him

at the hospital.

>> Thank you.

That's all I need.

That's all I need.
>> [ elevator bell dings ]

>> [ elevator bell dings ]

>> Sophie!

How you doing?

Remember me?

>> Oh, shit.

Yeah, sure. You're--

>> I know who I am, girlfriend.

So come on over here.

Remember what you told me

about your fiancé killing you?

>> Now, come on, you're not

gonna say anything.

>> No, not if you go back

up there and you find out what

the R&D requisition numbers are

from December 8th to the 14th

and anything with technetium.

>> And how am I supposed

to do that?

>> I read somewhere that fear

>> I read somewhere that fear
is the great motivator.

is the great motivator.

I want you to meet me

I want you to meet me
out on the corner in an hour.

out on the corner in an hour.

>> Okay, I'll try.

>> Okay, I'll try.
>> [ phone ringing ]

>> [ phone ringing ]

>> Yeah?

>> Hey, partner.

How's your, uh, injury?

>> [ chuckles ]

Still draining.

It's down to the size

of a lemon.

>> Aw, I feel so bad.

What if I bring you

your favorite pizza?

>> Now you're talkin'.

Listen, what's happening?

>> Did you get a fax

from the NRC yet?

>> Nah, nothing yet. Nothing.

>> Huh. Well, I am on

to something real interesting.

As soon as I get it,

I'll be right over.

>> All right.

I'll see you later.

Hey, thanks.

>> Hi, Mr. Lee.

>> Hey.

>> How are we today?

>> Ugh.

>> Well, you're looking good.

All right, I have to check

your catheter.

I'll try to make this

I'll try to make this
as painless as possible, okay?

as painless as possible, okay?

as painless as possible, okay?
>> [ grunting ]

>> [ grunting ]

>> [ grunting ]
>> Shh.

>> Shh.

>> Well?

>> Here.

Ah!

[ sighs ]

>> Did your Rick boo

ever get involved

with any nuclear medicine

or radiation therapy?

>> I don't know.

>> And this ECA thing

next to technetium?

>> Executive

committee authorization.

It's just a clearance thing

for, like, special purchases.

>> And Grimes chairs

this committee?

>> Yeah, I guess.

>> Wait a minute.

Why would they need

the executive committee

authorization for the purchase

on December 22nd,

eight days after--

eight days after the nuclear

order was cancelled?

>> I have no idea.

>> But you will, won't you?

>> But you will, won't you?
>> Yeah, I will.

>> Yeah, I will.

>> Yeah, I will.
>> Look what I got for y--

>> Look what I got for y--

>> Ladies and gentlemen,

it is estimated that between

5:30 and 6:00 this evening,

while alone in his room,

Detective Harlan Lee,

for reasons known only

to himself,

removed his catheter

while leaving

the Foley balloon intact.

This resulted in a major

urethral laceration...

>> Excuse me.

>> I'm sorry about your partner.

>> Thank you.

He was supposed

to get a fax here.

>> Yeah, you know what?

It came in after lunch.

The gentleman in the red tie

The gentleman in the red tie
took it up for him.

took it up for him.

>> Man: Yes, the nursing station

monitors all patients

at all times.

>> Jerry, I need to talk to you.

>> Not now, Della.

>> Not now, Della.
>> Jerry, I need to talk to you!

>> Jerry, I need to talk to you!

Before you say anything,

I need to know if you're going

to be straight with me.

>> About what?

>> I just need to know

I can trust somebody.

You know, the only person

I could trust was Harlan

and he's dead,

and the others are my children.

And I just need to--

>> Della, upstairs we got

one dead cop.

He was a very good cop.

He didn't have to die.

>> You don't know how he died.

>> Della, tomorrow I gotta

go down there and beg somebody

to be your partner.

I gotta go down

to a precinct full of guys

who think you're a hotheaded,

big-mouthed, man-hating bitch.

I ain't looking forward to that.

So, please, let me mourn

Harlan's death in peace.

>> I can't do that.

>> Damn it, Della.

>> Is everything okay?

>> Everything's fine.

>> I think it would be

a good idea

if you said something

to the press about Lee,

about how admired he was--

you know.

>> Sure.

>> Okay.

>> Okay.
>> See you in the morning.

>> See you in the morning.

>> I'm... very sorry

>> I'm... very sorry
about your partner.

about your partner.

>> [ sniffling ]

>> Well, look at this--

Grimes with the mayor,

Grimes with the mayor,
with the DA.

with the DA.

with the DA.
>> [ alarm chirps ]

>> [ alarm chirps ]

>> Well, top of the morning

>> Well, top of the morning
to you, Della!

to you, Della!

>> Harry, I can open

the door myself.

Now get out of my face.

>> I'm just trying

>> I'm just trying
to be friendly.

to be friendly.

Somebody left a note

Somebody left a note
on your door.

on your door.

on your door.
>> [ sighs ]

>> [ sighs ]

>> ♪ Two little monkeys

♪ Jumping on the bed

♪ "They both got evicted"

♪ Is what the landlord said.

>> What did you tell him, Harry?

>> I didn't tell him nothing.

I just showed him the door,

and now he's showing you

the door.

>> You know, Harry--

you know, I-- I really don't

like it when you mess with me.

I try to walk away,

but when you mess

with my babies,

who aren't monkeys,

and my home,

the only home we have ever had--

now you've-- you've crossed

the line.

>> Well, then, I guess

you shouldn't have kicked in

that door, huh?

>> [ sighs ]

Step off, Harry.

>> Oh, yeah, you're always

really tough with that piece

on your hip, huh?

[ laughs ]

>> You mean this one?

You mean this one, huh?

You mean this one?

Huh? Do you? Huh? Here!

Take it! Take it! Take it!

Now-- now, see,

I don't have my piece to back

my big-ass mouth up, do I, huh?

Go ahead. Use it. Shoot me!

Go ahead. Use it. Shoot me!
>> [ grunting, groaning ]

>> [ grunting, groaning ]

>> Give me, give me.

Give me this!

And if you ever-- if you ever

mess with my babies again,

mess with my babies again,
I swear to God I'll kill you.

I swear to God I'll kill you.

>> Did you plan it this way?

Did you intentionally

pick this time to go and kick

the shit out of that guy,

figuring I would not arrest you

on grievous assault today

because the OPS guy is gonna

be here at 3:30 to quiz you

about kicking in that door?

>> I'm not gonna be here

at 3:30.

>> Change your schedule.

>> Can't. I'm gonna be

someplace else.

>> Where?

>> What if I told you that

Marlowe King was responsible

for Harlan's death?

>> Are you saying

the state attorney

ordered the murder

of a police detective?

>> He didn't want

Vera Church autopsied,

he wouldn't suggest anyone

other than Charney

as the suspect,

and he never followed up

on the ledger. Come on!

>> You're still

on the serial killer!

>> It wasn't a serial killer,

it was just big business.

Benning Laboratories?

>> Give me your gun, Della.

>> Oh!

God damn it!

God damn it!
>> Give me your gun!

>> Give me your gun!

>> Are you in on it, Jerry?

>> No, Della.

Whatever it is,

I ain't in on it.

>> Well, then you do me

this favor.

Just do me this one thing--

King was in California

doing divorce work, right?

>> What about it?

>> Did he work

at Sitkoff & O'Neil?

>> I've no idea.

>> Then why don't you try

finding out?

>> What the hell for?

>> Because he knew Walker Grimes

in California.

I saw the pictures on the shelf.

They go way back

before Vera Church's murder,

before Vera Church's murder,
and I wanna find out how far!

and I wanna find out how far!

and I wanna find out how far!
>> [ phone ringing ]

>> [ phone ringing ]

>> Charney? Are you there?

>> Are you all right?

>> No, I'm not.

They killed Harlan

and Jerry took my gun.

I need some help

and you're the only one

I can trust.

I'll be there tomorrow

to pick you up.

to pick you up.
>> Okay.

>> Okay.

>> Harlan's voice: We're never

gonna bust this case.

We can't.

We're taking on big business.

Before we bring them down,

they're gonna kill me,

they're gonna kill you,

they're gonna kill you,
they're gonna kill your kids.

they're gonna kill your kids.

they're gonna kill your kids.
Della, walk away.

Della, walk away.

>> Where did you go, Mama?

>> To work, baby.

I had to make some phone calls.

>> Our phone broke?

>> No, it's fine.

>> Is it time to get up now?

>> No, baby.

You go back to sleep, okay?

And rest those strong,

And rest those strong,
wonderful eyes.

wonderful eyes.

wonderful eyes.
>> Thanks.

>> Thanks.

>> [ knocking ]

>> [ knocking ]
>> Come in.

>> Come in.

Oh, Crandall.

Have you heard from Wilder?

>> Oh, constantly.

Her voice is like

an echo in my mind.

>> What are you talking about?

>> Well, particularly

that phrase when she said,

"Why has there been

no autopsy on Vera Church?"

>> You know, if I were you,

I'd occupy my mind

with the pursuit

of our one good lead.

>> The lead, yeah.

Why did you phone up

the coroner's office

and tell him to hold off

on that autopsy?

>> We have a suspect, a motive,

and a cause of death.

There's no sense

in complicating your

already confused detectives.

>> Oh.

Matter of fact,

I'm pretty confused myself,

so I phoned up Sitkoff & O'Neil.

>> Is there

a particular reason why?

>> I think so.

Excuse me, you mind

Excuse me, you mind
if I work from my notes?

if I work from my notes?

In case you don't know it,

you're O'Neil's son-in-law.

>> [ laughs ]

>> You worked for the firm

since you were still

a law student at Stanford.

O'Neil owns 25% interest

in La Montana Spa.

The firm's office manager says

this Chicago relocation

is not a permanent move,

that you're up here

on an open-ended sabbatical.

Now this is my personal

favorite-- you drafted

the prenuptial agreement

for O'Neil's pal

Walker Grimes.

>> [ laughing ]

If I'm supposed

to be impressed, I'm not.

This is all a matter

of public record, so...

>> Would you be more impressed

if I could tell you

what the murder of Grimes'

fair-haired boy had to do

with Vera Church

and the other nine women

and the other nine women
in Detective Wilder's book?

in Detective Wilder's book?

>> I'm all ears.

>> I'm all ears.
>> So am I.

>> So am I.

>> Hey, Sophie.

How are you doing? It's Della.

You got something for me?

>> Yeah. There was an NCA

last-minute approval

after they found

an independent distributor.

His name is Dugald Ferdinand

and he works with

Amalgamated Minerals.

The address

The address
is 310 Sherbrooke West.

is 310 Sherbrooke West.

>> Dugald Ferdinand?

>> Yeah. Who are you?

>> Della Wilder--

Detective, Chicago Police.

This is Detective Charney.

I have a few questions

to ask you.

Does the name Rick Harwell

mean anything to you?

>> Not a thing.

>> Are you sure?

>> Yeah, I'm sure.

>> What about

Benning Laboratories?

>> Ditto.

If you don't mind,

I've got some work

to be getting on with.

>> Ditto? Well, you know,

I'm gonna give you

a second chance.

I heard that you supplied

Mr. Harwell with a substance

Mr. Harwell with a substance
called technetium.

called technetium.

You better tell me the truth!

>> Calm down.

Della, take it easy.

>> So this is

the, uh, good-cop/bad-cop

routine, huh?

>> That's right.

I'm good, she's bad.

>> [ whimpers ]

>> You got something

to tell me, hmm?

Hmm?

>> All right. All right.

This guy Harwell comes to me

and asked me if I could lay

my hands on some of that

whatchamacallit shit.

>> Technetium?

>> Yeah, technetium-99.

>> 99m?

>> No, just technetium-99.

I never heard of the shit,

but my supplier--

well, he came through.

Gave Harwell a good price

and he was happy.

End of story.

>> It wasn't the end

of the story.

Do you know how many women died

because of that shit?

>> Della! Della, I got it.

Let's get out of here.

Let's get out of here.
Come on.

Come on.

Technetium-99--

that's what I was afraid of.

Not 99m.

>> What's the difference?

>> 99m is safe,

but technetium-99--

its radiation is a lot stronger.

It lasts a lot longer

before it disintegrates.

>> How long?

>> How long?
>> Millions of years.

>> Millions of years.

>> Jerry, Della.

We need to talk.

Meet me at 7:00 at the Tazmahal.

Come alone.

I'm trusting you, okay?

Just come through for me,

all right?

all right?
>> [ sirens wailing ]

>> [ sirens wailing ]

>> I'm going in.

You stay in the car.

>> He could arrest you,

you know?

>> He won't.

He ain't in on it.

But just in case I'm not back

But just in case I'm not back
in an hour, you disappear again.

in an hour, you disappear again.

in an hour, you disappear again.
>> Jerry?

>> Jerry?

>> Jerry?
Jerry?

Jerry?

Jerry?
>> Hello, Della.

>> Hello, Della.

Oh, we got your message,

but, um, Jerry can't make it.

So I guess that means

you're gonna tell me

everything you know.

>> Well, you keep guessing.

>> Well, you keep guessing.
Maybe you'll get lucky.

Maybe you'll get lucky.

>> Big mouth to the end,

>> Big mouth to the end,
huh, Della?

huh, Della?

Who else knows?

Who else knows?
>> How much time you got?

>> How much time you got?

>> You wouldn't have any names

for me, now, would you?

>> Yeah, I'm saving--

saving that for

a special occasion,

a special occasion,
like the grand jury.

like the grand jury.

>> I guess that means

I gotta talk to your sons.

>> Like they're just

sitting around,

waiting for you.

>> Look, just tell me

what I need to know

so we can end this quickly

like we ended it

for Harlan and Jerry.

>> Oh! Like it ended quickly

for Vera Church

for Vera Church
and all those other women?

and all those other women?

>> I understand.

You lived like a good cop.

Now you wanna die

like a good cop.

So I'm gonna show you

I'm not angry.

I'm gonna help you solve

I'm gonna help you solve
one more murder.

one more murder.

I'm gonna show you the punch

that Emile Griffith used

to kill Benny Paret.

to kill Benny Paret.
>> Della!

>> Della!

>> Della!
Jesus!

Jesus!

Jesus!
>> Thanks for the opening.

>> Thanks for the opening.

You know-- wanna know

what I know?

>> [ handcuffs clicking ]

>> Grimes knew about a year ago

that he was getting

into big trouble

with those experiments.

And so,

in order to save his ass,

that's why he called in

the state's attorney--

to hide the murders

that he couldn't hide!

And that just happened

to be you!

>> Come on. Come on.

>> Come on. Come on.
>> [ heaving ]

>> [ heaving ]

>> Okay, let me take

a look at you.

All right, let's see.

>> [ cries out ]

>> Okay, okay.

You're my kind of woman,

You're my kind of woman,
you know that?

you know that?

>> So, in conclusion,

ladies and gentlemen,

Benning Labs finds itself

in an extremely enviable

financial situation.

Now, if we couple that

with the extremely favorable

five-year forecast,

I feel very confident

that Benning Labs will soon

be positioning itself as one

of the major forces--

>> Walker Grimes,

you are under arrest

for the crimes of murder,

for the conspiracy

to commit murder,

and for illegally conducting

experiments on humans!

>> That's preposterous.

>> And for the unauthorized

importation and use

of a controlled substance.

>> I want my lawyer.

>> Cuff him!

>> I want my lawyer!

>> Cuff him!

You have the right

to remain silent.

Anything you say can be used

and will be used against you

in a court of law.

You have the right

to an attorney.

If you can't afford one,

we will appoint one for you.

Do you understand?

Do you understand?
Get him out of here.

Get him out of here.

I got an inside tip for you--

you better start selling

the stock now,

because your stocks

because your stocks
ain't gonna be worth shit.

ain't gonna be worth shit.

ain't gonna be worth shit.
>> [ chatter ]

>> [ chatter ]

>> Pancakes ready?

>> Sit down.

>> Are you gonna work

tomorrow, Mama?

>> No, I don't think so, baby.

Are you gonna work tomorrow?

>> I don't think so, Mama.

>> Ha!

>> Both: He called Mama "Mama."

>> Is he your boyfriend, Mama?

>> Mama says she don't have

a boyfriend.

>> Oh, really?

When did she say that?

>> All the time.

>> Is that so, Mama?

>> Damn straight.

Who-- who needs a boyfriend?

>> [ boys laughing ]

>> It doesn't mean that

I couldn't use a good doctor.

Do you make house calls?

>> Of course, for you.

>> Maybe we can

work something out.

>> [ boys giggling ]

>> You think it's funny?

>> Ow. Ow, ow, ow.

>> I might need two of them.

>> Yeah, you're gonna need

>> Yeah, you're gonna need
a few here.

a few here.

a few here.
