Man: HEY, MADDOX.

I DON'T KNOW YOU.

JOHNNY SANDUCCI.

NICK MARINO HAD A SIT DOWN IN SAN PEDRO, SO HE SENT ME.

DOESN'T USUALLY GO DOWN THAT WAY WITH MARINO.

YOU GOT... 50 GRAND IN THERE.

JESUS. I DON'T LIKE THIS.

RELAX, LIEUTENANT.

THERE'S GONNA BE A GOOD COP IN THAT ROOM.

I DON'T WANNA SEE MY PARTNER GO DOWN.

NEITHER DO WE.

WE JUST WANT THE WITNESS.

[SIGHS] CHELSEA HOTEL.

HI. HOW'D IT GO?

GOOD.

WAS THAT THE GUY?

THAT WAS HIM, ALL RIGHT.

SAME M.O., STRAIGHT RAZOR,

AND THEY'RE STILL GONNA MAKE US GO BEFORE THE REVIEW BOARD.

THIS JOB SUCKS.

WE'VE GOT COMPANY.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAND, TANNER?

AH, IT'S NOTHIN'.

I'VE HAD WORSE.

YEAH, LIKE SOME OF THE WOMEN YOU DATE.

[LAUGHS]

YOU'RE SO MEAN.

THAT'S MY PARTNER.

YOU HUNGRY?

NAH. I'M GONNA STICK TO MY BEER.

HMM. YOU WANT SOMETHING?

NAH. I GOTTA GO HOME AND GET SOME SLEEP.

YOU SURE? I'LL LEAVE YOU TWO ALONE.

YEAH, GIVE ME A CALL WHEN YOU GET UP.

YEAH. GOOD WORK.

SEE YOU LATER.

WISH HE'D MEET SOMEBODY.

[MACHINE BEEPING]

EXCUSE ME.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?

I'M SITTING WITH MY PARTNER.

ARE YOU A MEMBER OF THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY?

LIKE I SAID, HE'S MY PARTNER.

AND YOU DON'T GET ANY MORE IMMEDIATE THAN THAT.

LISTEN, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR.

GO HOME AND GET SOME REST.

BOTTOM LINE.

IS HE GOING TO MAKE IT?

HE'S GOT A FAIR CHANCE.

HE DESERVES BETTER.

P.A.: DR. DAVIS, TELEPHONE.

PLEASE, DR. DAVIS, TELEPHONE.

I DON'T KNOW. I DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE GROCERY STORE.

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A LOOK?

YOU KNOW, I THINK I'M GOING TO TAKE A COUPLE DAYS OFF.

WHY?

WELL, I DON'T LIKE BEING AWAY FROM YOU.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO EAT?

I DON'T KNOW. WHAT DO YOU GOT?

WELL, WE GOT, UM, SOME FRUIT.

APPLES, GRAPES, CHERRIES, WATERMELON.

SOME SANDWICH STUFF. YOU WANT A SANDWICH?

NO, NO.

UH, MMM. SOME OLD PIZZA BACK THERE.

HEH. EGGS.

YOU WANT EGGS?

NO. I JUST WANT YOU.

YOU WANT ME?

WE GOT A COMPLAINT THERE'S A PROWLER IN THE AREA.

REALLY? MM-HMM.

I'D EXPECT YOUR FULL COOPERATION.

OH. I'M WILLING TO COOPERATE IN ANY WAY, OFFICER.

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?

ASSUME THE POSITION.

HA HA HA.

JUST LET ME KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING I CAN DO.

WATCH IT.

SO FAR, YOU'RE DOING OK.

A PROWLER?

YOU THINK I'M IN DANGER HERE?

NOT YET.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Answering Machine: HI. YOU'VE REACHED THE YARNELL RESIDENCE.

NEITHER MIKE NOR MELISSA ARE HOME.

PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE. [BEEPS]

Man: MELISSA, IT'S FARRELL.

IF YOU'RE THERE, WOULD YOU PICK UP THE PHONE?

LOOK, I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE NOT CALLING ME BACK.

I'M AT THE BAR, AND I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

ALL RIGHT?

JESUS, MELISSA.

BYE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

EVERY TIME YOUR BROTHER CALLS, YOU LOSE IT.

[SOBS]

NO!

[LOUNGE MUSIC PLAYING]

HONEY...

MIKE...

MIKE...

WHAT?

I MANAGED TO GET US AN APPOINTMENT WITH DR. HALPERIN.

HE CAN SEE US AT 10:00.

MELISSA, YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE SHRINKS.

LEAVE ME ALONE.

MIKE, HE'S HELPED ME A LOT,

AND I WISH YOU WOULD COME WITH ME TO SEE HIM.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. I'M UP.

OK. GET UP. IT'S A QUARTER TO 9:00.

WE GOT TO GO.

I'M UP!

WHAT TIME IS IT?

QUARTER TO 9:00.

[MUMBLING]

OH, WALKER. IMPECCABLE TIMING.

THIS IS MARTIN ERLICH OF THE A.C.L.U.

HE WANTS TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU.

I'LL HAVE TO CHECK MY CALENDAR.

HOW ABOUT RIGHT NOW, DETECTIVE?

I DON'T HAVE THE TIME.

UH, CAPTAIN, CAN I SPEAK TO YOU A SECOND?

CAPTAIN BROOKS, THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF INSOLENCE

AND LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE A.C.L.U.

THAT CASTS A BLACK CLOUD OVER THIS DEPARTMENT.

IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'VE GOT A PARTNER

FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE OVER AT COUNTY.

SO, EXCUSE ME VERY MUCH IF I DON'T HAVE

THE INCLINATION TO DISCUSS THE SIXTH AMENDMENT WITH YOU.

LET ME CHECK ON MY OFFICER AT THE HOSPITAL,

I PROMISE HE'LL CALL YOU, MARTIN.

I KNOW YOU'RE HURTING ABOUT GIBBY,

BUT CUTTING NEW ASSHOLES WITH THE A.C.L.U. GUYS IS NOT EXACTLY

IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE DEPARTMENT NOWADAYS.

I'M SORRY, CAPTAIN.

YOU KNOW, THE LAST THING I NEEDED THIS MORNING

WAS SOME WEASEL IN MY FACE, LECTURING ME

ABOUT THE RIGHTS OF PSYCHO KILLERS.

MAYBE HE'S HAVING A FIELD DAY WITH THIS MADDOX FIASCO.

EVERY OTHER DAY, SOME PERP IS ON THE TUBE,

MAKING A CASE FOR POLICE BRUTALITY.

ALL I KNOW IS GIBBY'S ON LIFE SUPPORT.

HIS WIFE IS WORRIED ABOUT HER NEXT DIME.

WHAT'S THIS?

GIBBY'S DISABILITY PAPERS.

I'D APPRECIATE YOUR PROCESSING THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

HIS NAME IS YARNELL. HE'S WITH VICE.

MIKE YARNELL?

YOU KNOW HIM?

WE PARTNERED OUT OF THE ACADEMY. GOOD COP.

HE WAS INVOLVED IN A SHOOTING THE OTHER NIGHT.

REVIEW BOARD BUMPED HIM OVER TO US.

REPORT SAYS HERE THAT THE SUSPECT HAD A STRAIGHT RAZOR.

YEAH. FAMILY MAN. FATHER OF 6.

NO PRIORS. HIS WIFE GOT YOUR FRIEND

THE A.C.L.U. INVOLVED.

THIS LOOKS OPEN AND SHUT TO ME.

WELL, WALK IT THROUGH, JUST THE SAME,

AND CLOSE IT BY THE BOOK.

TAKE CARE OF THOSE FOR ME?

I WILL.

THANKS.

WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME ALL THE QUESTIONS?

DID YOU FORGET THAT SHE'S THE ONE WITH THE PROBLEM?

HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT

HAS A LOT TO DO WITH OUR FINDING A SOLUTION.

AH. HEH.

WELL, HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL ABOUT IT?

I MEAN--I MEAN, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL ABOUT IT?

MIKE, NOBODY'S BLAMING YOU.

NOT MELISSA, NOT ME.

THEN, WHY AM I CATCHING ALL THE FLAK?

I MEAN, YOU REALLY WANT MY OPINION?

HUH? I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH HER FATHER.

HE PASSED AWAY 2 WEEKS AGO, AND EVER SINCE THEN,

IT'S LIKE COMING HOME TO SYBIL.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHO THE HELL'S GOING TO BE THERE.

MELISSA, AT OUR LAST SESSION,

YOU BEGAN TO TELL ME ABOUT THE DEATH OF YOUR FATHER.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY FATHER.

WELL, THEN WHAT?

MIKE, PLEASE.

THEN WHAT?

MELISSA, GO AHEAD.

STATE IT AT YOUR OWN PACE.

IT HAS TO DO WITH MY BROTHER.

WE HAD PROBLEMS SINCE WE WERE KIDS.

AFTER MY FATHER GOT SICK,

MY BROTHER FARRELL...

HE CAME BACK TO...

TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS,

AND TO TAKE CARE OF MY DAD.

MY FATHER OWNED A NIGHT CLUB BAR.

ANYWAY... [SIGHS]

FARRELL CAME BACK.

AND I HAD GOTTEN HIM OUT OF MY MIND,

THROUGH ALL THESE YEARS.

AND NOW HE'S BACK. HE'S BACK HERE IN THE SAME CITY.

AND EVERY TIME THE PHONE RINGS,

OR THERE'S A KNOCK AT THE DOOR...

I LOSE IT.

I JUST WANT HIM OUT OF MY LIFE.

WHY DIDN'T YOU EVER TELL ME ABOUT THIS, MELISSA?

WELL, WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR BROTHER?

NOTHING.

CHRIST. IT'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING.

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND, MIKE?

NO.

I JUST WANT TO FORGET IT.

FORGET WHAT?

WHAT'S THE SOURCE OF YOUR PROBLEM WITH YOUR BROTHER?

I CAN'T TELL YOU.

PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME TELL YOU.

MELISSA...

YOU CALLED ME.

NOW, WHY DID YOU MAKE THE CALL,

UNLESS YOU WANTED TO TELL SOMEONE?

BECAUSE HE MADE ME DO IT.

DO WHAT?

HE--

HE WOULD SNEAK INTO MY ROOM ALMOST EVERY NIGHT.

I WOULDN'T LOOK AT HIM.

I COULDN'T.

HIS HANDS...

HIS HANDS WERE ALWAYS SWEATY.

HOT.

AND HE HAD THIS SMELL.

THEN HE MADE ME DO THESE THINGS.

THESE HORRIBLE...

DIRTY...THINGS.

MELISSA, HOW COME YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THIS?

HOW COME?

HOW COME?

MIKE, WHAT COULD YOU HAVE DONE?

WHAT COULD YOU HAVE DONE?

BILL TANNER?

MATT WALKER.

PLEASE SIT DOWN.

HOW'S YOUR HAND?

I GOT 88 STITCHES HOLDING IT TOGETHER.

OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S FINE.

SO, WHY IS I.A.D. SO INTERESTED

IN WHAT HAPPENED THE OTHER NIGHT?

IT'S ROUTINE.

JUST PROCEDURE.

NOBODY'S INTERESTED IN HURTING A GOOD COP DOING HIS JOB.

THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW.

TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED TUESDAY NIGHT.

IT'S ALL THERE IN THE REPORT. DIDN'T YOU READ IT?

LOOK, BILL...

YOU KNOW THE DEPARTMENT IS UNDER THE MICROSCOPE LATELY

ABOUT THIS EXCESSIVE FORCE.

WE GOT TO GO BY THE BOOK,

SO I'D APPRECIATE THE HELP.

GO AHEAD.

IT'S VERY SIMPLE.

I WENT TO CUFF THE SON OF A BITCH.

HE COMES AFTER ME WITH A RAZOR.

YARNELL SHOOTS HIM.

THAT'S IT.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU AND YARNELL BEEN PARTNERS?

JEEZ, I DON'T KNOW. WHAT? 5 YEARS?

HE HAS THREE 181s IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS,

AND YOU BACKED HIM UP EVERY TIME.

WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING? THAT I LIED ON THE REPORT?

DOES THIS LOOK LIKE I'M LYING?

I'M NOT IMPLYING ANYTHING.

I'M INTERESTED IN THE MENTAL CONDITION OF YOUR PARTNER.

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE MENTAL CONDITION OF MY PARTNER.

HE HAS A HISTORY OF USING EXCESSIVE FORCE.

EXCESSIVE FORCE.

YOU KNOW, THEY JUMP ON US

FOR THE SLIGHTEST AMOUNT OF BULLSHIT.

WE'RE OUT THERE EVERY NIGHT,

DEALING WITH THESE FUCKING ANIMALS.

WHEN A COP TRIES TO PROTECT HIMSELF,

NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT IT.

WHO DO WE GO TO WHEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM?

WHEN YOU'RE BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE...

A COP ONLY HAS HIS PARTNER TO DEPEND ON.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?

I THINK I SAID EVERYTHING.

THANKS.

THANK YOU.

DON'T.

WHAT EXACTLY DID THAT SON OF A BITCH DO TO YOU, ANYWAY?

WHY DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?

BECAUSE IT'S TEARING US APART, THAT'S WHY.

I'M SORRY I EVER BROUGHT IT UP.

HOW COME YOU NEVER TALKED TO ME ABOUT IT?

WHAT COULD YOU CHANGE NOW, MIKE?

WHAT COULD YOU DO ABOUT IT?

MRS. YARNELL?

YES.

MATT WALKER. I.A.D.

I'D LIKE TO SPEAK WITH YOUR HUSBAND.

IS HE EXPECTING YOU?

NOT EXACTLY.

WELL, HE'S STILL SLEEPING.

IT'S IMPORTANT, MA'AM.

I DON'T REALLY FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT WAKING HIM UP RIGHT NOW.

HE'S REALLY TIRED.

YEAH.

SOMETHING I CAN HELP YOU WITH?

HOW YOU DOING, MIKE?

OH, SHIT.

DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE THE SAME WALKER WITH I.A.D.

BEEN A LONG TIME. YEAH.

HONEY, MATT AND ME--

WE USED TO WORK TOGETHER WHEN WE WERE HOT SHOTS OUT OF THE ACADEMY.

REALLY? YEAH.

HE'S COME A LONG WAY.

MADE HIS STRIPES CRAWLING UP OTHER COPS' ASSES.

AIN'T THAT RIGHT, MATT?

I DIDN'T DRIVE ALL THE WAY OUT HERE TO GIVE YOU GRIEF,

SO LIGHTEN UP, ALL RIGHT?

I TAKE A FEW DAYS OFF SICK,

I.A.D. SHOWS UP ON MY FUCKING DOORSTEP?

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL?

NOBODY AT I.A.D. WANTS TO HURT YOU.

I JUST WANT TO SPEND A FEW MINUTES WITH YOU,

ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS.

EVERYTHING I HAD TO SAY WAS IN MY REPORT.

TANNER'LL BACK ME UP 100%.

YOU'RE RIGHT. TANNER BACKS YOU UP.

BUT WE NEED TO HEAR YOUR VERSION OF WHAT HAPPENED.

CLOSE THIS OUT.

YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME?

YOU DO IT TO ME WHEN I'M ON THE CLOCK, NOT IN MY HOME.

YOU'RE AGGRAVATING A SIMPLE PROCEDURAL MATTER, MIKE.

MIKE, I THINK YOU SHOULD TALK TO HIM.

GET IN THE HOUSE.

HONEY, HE'S RIGHT.

JUST GET IN THE HOUSE!

OK.

ONLY TRYING TO HELP.

YEAH, RIGHT.

WE KNOW THIS GUY YARNELL?

P.A.: DR. DAVIS, TELEPHONE.

WELL, HE'S, UH...

HE WORKS HOLLYWOOD VICE.

AND WE CAUGHT HIS PACKAGE THE DAY AFTER YOU WENT DOWN.

HE AND HIS PARTNER, THEY WERE INVOLVED IN A...

SHOOTING OF A RAPE PERP.

HE HAD A RAZOR.

POOR FUCKING PERP.

PERP'S WIFE GOT THE A.C.L.U. INVOLVED.

CLAIMS EXCESSIVE FORCE.

YOU KNOW. THAT BULLSHIT.

ANYWAY, THE ISSUING TEAM KICKED THE BALL DOWN TO US.

I CHECK IT OUT.

YARNELL'S GOT 3 PRIOR 181s.

HE'S NOT COOPERATING.

WHAT ABOUT THE PARTNER?

HE TOOK 88 STITCHES FROM THE RAZOR.

WHEW.

SOUNDS PRETTY OPEN AND SHUT TO ME.

THIS GUY YARNELL MAYBE HAVE A HARD-ON FOR YOU FOR SOME REASON?

NO. BUT HE'S GOT A HARD-ON FOR ANYONE CONNECTED WITH I.A.D.

YOU KNOW HOW THAT IS.

HE'S A GOOD COP, GIB.

HE'S HURTING.

AND THAT'S A CRASH AND BURN IN THE MAKING,

UNLESS HE GETS SOME HELP.

WHY DON'T YOU RECOMMEND IT?

HEY...

IF COPS DON'T HELP COPS,

WHO THE HELL ELSE WILL?

YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH, GIBBY.

JUST TAKE IT EASY, WILL YOU?

THIS GUY'S RUINING MY LIFE.

YOU WANT ME TO TAKE IT EASY?

COME BACK AT 7:00. WE'RE CLOSED.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR FARRELL.

I'M FARRELL. WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

CLASSY LITTLE PLACE.

ALL EXCEPT FOR THE PIECE OF SHIT WHO OWNS IT.

WHY DON'T YOU GUYS TAKE OFF AND LET ME GET BACK TO WORK?

YOU KNOW, IT MAKES ME SICK

JUST BEING IN HERE WITH YOU?

GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.

I'M CALLING THE COPS.

WE ARE THE COPS.

YOU'RE MELISSA'S HUSBAND.

THAT'S RIGHT.

SHE TOLD ME ALL ABOUT YOU, TOO.

OH, YEAH?

WELL, GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.

HEY. NOW, YOU KEEP THAT HORSE COCK OUT OF MY FACE.

I SAID GET OUT OF HERE!

DON'T! DON'T.

DON'T PROVOKE ME.

COME HERE! COME HERE!

YOU'RE GOING TO CLOSE DOWN,

AND STAY THE FUCK OUT OF MY LIFE!

YOU HEAR ME? I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT.

YOU LISTENING TO ME?

LET ME SHOW YOU, YOU SON OF A BITCH!

YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU DID TO ME?

DO YOU HEAR ME?

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T--

I KNOW. I'M ASKING. THAT'S ALL.

YOU GODDAMNED NASTY CREEP!

I'M ALL RIGHT!

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

I'M ALL RIGHT!

YOU SON OF A BITCH! I WANT YOU OUT OF HERE!

DROP THAT GUN!

WHAT? ARE YOU GOING TO SHOOT ME?

WHATEVER MELISSA TOLD YOU,

SHE'S LYING.

DROP IT!

YOU AIN'T GOT THE BALLS TO SHOOT A COP.

DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS.

DROP THAT FUCKING GUN!

LOOK AT YOU. YOU'RE SHAKING ALL OVER.

YOU CAN'T COME IN HERE AND HASSLE ME.

AND THEY'LL TAKE AWAY YOUR BADGE.

MY BADGE? YOU MOTHER--

[GUNSHOT]

[GROANING]

OH, SHIT. SHIT.

[RASPING]

BILL...

OH, SHIT.

BILL...

BILL, HE SHOT HIMSELF. HE SHOT HIMSELF!

YOU HEAR ME? HE SHOT HIMSELF!

CAPTAIN...

I RECOMMEND THAT WE PUT YARNELL

THROUGH A SERIES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING.

A GOOD COP. HE DESERVES HELP.

YOU'RE GOING TO NEED A LOT OF HELP.

HE JUST KILLED A GUY.

AND CATCH THIS.

THE VICTIM WAS HIS WIFE'S BROTHER.

[CRYING] GOD.

[MOANS]

JUST GET HOME?

MELISSA, I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

MMM.

WHAT TIME DID YOU GET OFF WORK?

THAT TURD FARRELL--

HE'S DEAD.

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

I JUST WENT THERE TO TALK TO HIM.

HE PULLED OUT A GUN, AND WHEN I WENT TO TAKE IT AWAY...

HE'S DEAD?

I SWEAR TO GOD IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, MELISSA.

I JUST WENT THERE TO SCARE HIM,

SO HE'D STOP HASSLING YOU.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

BELIEVE ME, MELISSA, PLEASE.

NO.

PLEASE DON'T HATE ME.

NO.

[SOBBING]

YOU'RE ALL I GOT LEFT IN THIS WORLD.

I NEED YOU.

TOUCH ME.

BE WITH ME.

BE WITH ME.

YOU HATE ME.

THIS IS BULLSHIT, CAPTAIN.

YOU TAKE AWAY MY BADGE, YOU MAKE ME LOOK GUILTY.

UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, YOUR HOME WILL BE

YOUR REGULAR DUTY ASSIGNMENT,

DURING YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED WATCHES.

EACH DAY, YOU WILL STAY IN CONTACT WITH YOUR WATCH COMMANDER,

AND INFORM HIM OF ANY CHANGE IN LOCATION,

DUE TO OFFICIAL BUSINESS.

HEH.

LIKE THE SHRINK?

YEAH.

STANDARD DEPARTMENTAL PROCEDURE.

YEAH, WELL, THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY

RIGHT BEFORE THEY NAIL YOUR ASS TO THE WALL, CAPTAIN.

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?

WHAT'S HE DOING AT MY DESK?

HEY!

NO. I'M ALL RIGHT. I'M ALL RIGHT.

YOU HAVING FUN RUINING MY LIFE?

YOU TOOK MY GUN. YOU TOOK MY BADGE.

COOL IT DOWN, MIKE, OK?

MAYBE YOU WANT MY DESK, HUH?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING? MIKE, MIKE!

HERE, TAKE MY...

MIKE! MIKE! COME ON, MIKE!

YOU'RE DEAD!

YOU'RE DEAD! YOU'RE DEAD!

MIKE, YOU NEED HELP, MIKE!

YOU NEED FUCKING HELP.

Minister: THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,

WE COMMEND TO ALMIGHTY GOD

OUR BROTHER FARRELL LERNOUX.

AND WE COMMIT HIS BODY TO THE GROUND.

EARTH TO EARTH.

ASHES TO ASHES.

DUST TO DUST.

THE LORD BLESS HIM AND KEEP HIM.

THE LORD MAKE HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON HIM,

AND BE GRACIOUS UNTO HIM.

THE LORD LIFT UP HIS COUNTENANCE UPON HIM,

AND GIVE HIM PEACE.

AMEN.

All: AMEN.

THE LORD BE WITH YOU.

WITH THY SPIRIT, LET US PRAY.

Woman: BEAUTIFUL SERVICE, FATHER.

Man: THANK YOU, FATHER. THAT WAS VERY NICE.

YOU GOT SOME NERVE SHOWING UP HERE TO HARASS ME.

Mike: YOU JUST REMEMBER WHAT I SAID, WALKER, HUH?

[IMITATES GUNSHOT]

I WAS JUST SAYING HELLO.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Gibson: ALL RIGHT. GIVE ME CHAPTER AND VERSE.

WE TOOK AWAY HIS GUN, HIS SHIELD,

PUT HIM ON SUSPENSION.

THAT DOESN'T TAKE CARE OF THE DOMESTIC SITUATION.

I'LL BET EVEN MONEY HE TAKES IT OUT ON HIS WIFE.

HEY, YOU'VE DONE YOUR JOB. LEAVE IT ALONE NOW.

I DON'T KNOW. LOOK, THIS GUY YARNELL,

BROTHER IN BLUE,

HE'S LOOKING AT MURDER ONE.

HEY, YOU CAN'T BE RESPONSIBLE

FOR EVERY BADGE IN THE DEPARTMENT.

I'M NOT TALKING BADGE.

I'M TALKING HUMAN BEING, GIB.

[SIGHS]

EXCUSE ME.

HI.

SORRY I'M LATE.

I WAS AT THE D.A.'s OFFICE.

NO. NO, PLEASE, I'M JUST GRATEFUL THAT YOU COULD COME.

I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW WHO TO CALL.

I COULDN'T CALL TANNER.

I REALIZE HOW DIFFICULT IT IS

FOR A COP'S WIFE TO REACH OUT.

[SCOFFS]

YEAH. HOW DOES YOUR WIFE HANDLE IT?

SHE DIDN'T.

I'M SORRY.

SO AM I,

AND SHE'S A LOT HAPPIER WITHOUT ME.

MRS. YARNELL...

YOUR HUSBAND'S A GOOD COP.

HE JUST CLOCKED A FEW TOO MANY HOURS

OUT THERE IN JUNGLE LAND,

AND HE NEEDS HELP.

YEAH.

IT'S BEEN REALLY DIFFICULT THIS PAST YEAR WITH HIM.

HEY, WOULD YOU LIKE A DRINK?

NO, I DON'T DRINK.

LOOK, I'M REALLY SORRY.

I'M USUALLY NOT LIKE THIS.

IT'S JUST...

[SIGHS]

UM...

LOOK, I'M A GOOD LISTENER.

HMM?

YOU'VE GOT SUCH PATIENCE.

YOUR KIDS MUST LOVE YOU.

ONE.

SHE'S ALREADY WAY BEYOND ME.

IN WHAT WAY?

IN WHAT WAY?

WELL, SHE...

SHE'S NOT AFRAID OF NEW EXPERIENCES.

SHE LIKES PEOPLE, SHE TRUSTS THEM.

AND YOU DON'T TRUST PEOPLE?

IT'S NOT THAT. IT'S JUST BEING A COP...

MY WIFE...

[CHUCKLES] IT'S A BIT CYNICAL.

I'M NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT ME.

HOW CAN--WHAT CAN I DO? HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

WELL, I, UM...

I FINALLY GOT MIKE TO COME TO SEE A THERAPIST WITH ME.

THAT'S GOOD.

YEAH, AND THEN THIS THING WITH MY BROTHER HAPPENED.

[SIGHING]

IS THERE ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN TELL US THAT--

THAT MAY HELP UNDERSTAND WHAT PROVOKED

YOUR BROTHER AND MIKE?

YEAH. MY BROTHER WAS DISTURBED.

AND I'M SURE HE JUST PUSHED MIKE...

A LITTLE BIT TOO FAR.

WHAT WAS...

CAN YOU TELL ME THE NAME OF THE THERAPIST?

UM...

YEAH. DR. EUGENE HALPERIN.

WHERE IS HE LOCATED?

HE'S IN BEVERLY HILLS.

I REALIZE THE DIFFICULT POSITION YOU'RE IN RIGHT NOW.

LOOK, UH...

YOU CAN...

THERE'S A NUMBER ON THERE.

YOU CAN REACH ME ANYTIME, DAY OR NIGHT, IF YOU NEED HELP,

OR ANY QUESTIONS, ANYTHING.

OK.

THANKS.

WELL, GIVEN WHAT LITTLE I'VE SEEN OF HER HUSBAND

I CAN WELL UNDERSTAND WHY SHE'S CONCERNED.

GIVEN THAT, I'M SORRY. I'M...

I DON'T THINK I CAN BE OF MUCH HELP.

WELL, DOC, CAN YOU TELL ME HOW MAYBE

HER BROTHER FITS INTO THE SCENARIO.

AGAIN, I'M SORRY.

THAT WOULD BE A VIOLATION

OF DOCTOR/PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY.

YOU KNOW, DOC, UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW,

THERE ARE LIMITS TO DOCTOR/PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY.

I'M WELL AWARE OF THE LAW, LIEUTENANT,

AND BELIEVE ME, IF AN OVERT THREAT HAD BEEN MADE IN MY PRESENCE,

I WOULD'VE FOLLOWED THE LAW.

[SIGHS]

YOU KNOW, GIB...

SOMETIMES I FEEL...

LIFE IS LIKE...

WINNING THE LOTTERY WHERE...

THE JACKPOT IS A ONE-WAY TICKET

DOWN THE HERSHEY TRAIL.

I KNOW YOU, WALKER.

YOU'RE THE KIND OF COP WHO PULLS LONG HOURS

SO HE DON'T HAVE TO GO HOME AT NIGHT.

WHEN YOU DO GO HOME, THERE'S NOTHING THERE

EXCEPT CHICKEN POT PIES AND LATE-NIGHT MOVIES.

YOU SLEEP WITH THE LIGHTS ON,

YOU CAN'T WAIT TILL MORNING ROLLS AROUND.

THAT WAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF,

IS THIS WHAT IT ALL COMES DOWN TO?

WHERE'D I MISS OUT? WHERE'D I MAKE A WRONG TURN?

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME?

I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU WHAT ANY COP WOULD TELL YOU.

YOU GET INVOLVED IN A DOMESTIC SITUATION,

YOU END UP WITH YOUR BALLS ROLLED UP REAL TIGHT.

[RAIN FALLING]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[DOOR CLOSES]

OHH.

DAMN IT.

I GOTTA REMEMBER TO ASK HER WHERE SHE GOT THOSE SHOES.

[SIGHS]

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

Melissa: OUT.

OUT!

THAT'S A GOOD ANSWER, MELISSA.

LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOUT, MIKE. I CAN HEAR YOU FINE.

ALL RIGHT. I WON'T.

JUST TELL ME WHERE YOU'VE BEEN.

I WANT TO KNOW.

I WANT TO KNOW!

DON'T WALK AWAY. HEY!

I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH A LOT OF SHIT BECAUSE OF YOU!

LET GO OF ME!

I'M MORTGAGED TO THE HILT

SO YOU CAN PLAY DRESS UP? I DON'T THINK SO.

THE LEAST YOU CAN DO FOR ME IS BE HERE WHEN I GET HOME.

COME ON. BE MY BABY.

AAH! DON'T!

WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, MELISSA? HUH?

LET ME GO, MIKE!

WHO WILL I HAVE TO FIX THIS TIME?!

WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO GO? WHERE?

DON'T TOUCH ME, MIKE! DON'T YOU TOUCH ME!

DON'T YOU LOCK ME OUT!

GET AWAY!

OPEN THIS DOOR! STAY AWAY!

OPEN IT!

STAY AWAY! I'M CALLING THE POLICE.

AH!

[TELEPHONE DINGS]

AAH!

YOU'VE BEEN SEEING SOMEBODY

ON THE SIDE, HAVEN'T YOU?

LET ME GO! DON'T LIE!

YOU WERE FUCKING AROUND BEHIND MY BACK, RIGHT?

YOU PATHETIC BASTARD, LET ME GO!

DON'T LIE!

ALL RIGHT! YES!

I'VE BEEN FUCKING TANNER, DR. HALPERIN.

NEXT THING YOU'LL THINK I'M GOING TO DO

IS FUCK THAT I.A.D. GUY. WHAT'S HIS NAME?!

SHUT UP!

[CAR DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

LIEUTENANT WALKER!

I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO GO.

LET'S AT LEAST GET YOU IN OUT OF THE RAIN.

[THUNDER]

[GASPS]

SORRY.

LET ME GET YOU SOMETHING FOR THOSE SCRATCHES.

DO YOU WANT ME TO COME WITH YOU?

UM...YEAH.

IT'LL BE...EASIER.

[THUNDER]

[SNIFFLES]

CHRIST...

HE REALLY WENT AT YOU.

YEAH.

BUT HE'S DONE WORSE.

THIS IS GOING TO...

MAYBE STING JUST A LITTLE BIT.

OK.

EHH.

[SOBS QUIETLY]

[THUNDER]

EHH. [SOBS]

SORRY.

IT'S OK.

IT'S OK.

[SNIFFLES]

IT'S BETTER TO...

PUT A LITTLE BIT THERE BECAUSE...

THESE THINGS ARE DECEIVING.

UH...

NEED ANOTHER...

PAD.

EHH. SORRY.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S A...

I BETTER GET THAT.

CAN YOU HOLD THIS?

[RING]

PLEASE?

[THUNDER]

[RING]

Matt: HELLO?

I UNDERSTAND THAT, JOANNE,

BUT IT'S NOT THAT EASY.

I'M NOT BEING INFLEXIBLE.

I JUST...

[THUNDER]

MM-HMM.

YEAH.

WELL, I'VE ALREADY GOT OUR PLANE TICKETS, OK?

I PUT THEM ON THE CREDIT CARD.

I'VE GOT THE TIME BLOCKED OFF.

NO.

I SEE YOUR POINT OF VIEW,

BUT WHY DO I HAVE TO SEE MY DAUGHTER

WHEN IT'S ONLY CONVENIENT FOR YOU?

Mike: HUH? UH...

I'M LISTENING.

[THUNDER]

Mike: LOOK, UH...

Mike: YEAH.

Mike: HUH?

LOOK...

WHY DON'T I JUST--

I'LL CALL YOU TOMORROW. WE'LL DISCUSS IT,

AND WE'LL WORK SOMETHING OUT.

YEAH.

OK.

CAN I SPEAK TO HER?

YEAH, I JUST WANT TO SAY GOOD NIGHT.

NO, I'M NOT GOING TO START ANYTHING.

I JUST WANT TO TALK TO HER.

Mike: HI, ANGEL FACE.

NO, WE'RE GOING TO WORK IT OUT.

OK? AND I'LL SEE YOU AND WE'LL GO AND WE'LL...

YEAH.

DISNEYLAND AND...

OK.

I LOVE YOU, TOO, SWEETIE.

DON'T LET THE BED BUGS BITE.

GOOD NIGHT.

HOW OLD'S YOUR LITTLE GIRL?

Mike: 6.

UM...

I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND THAT I PUT YOUR SHIRT ON.

I WAS KIND OF FREEZING IN MY DRESS.

SHIT.

SORRY. I'M NOT THINKING.

I'LL GET YOU A BLANKET.

[FLOOR CREAKING]

[THUNDER]

YOU'RE VERY SWEET.

GOOD NIGHT.

CAN I GET YOU SOME COFFEE OR, UH, TEA?

UM...YEAH.

SOME COFFEE.

A LITTLE MILK AND ONE SUGAR.

[THUNDER]

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]

I FOUND HIM SITTING IN THE DARK WHEN I GOT HOME.

SAW THAT HE WAS DRUNK.

WHEN HE GETS LIKE THAT,

HE ACCUSES ME OF THE UGLIEST THINGS.

THERE'S NOTHING I CAN SAY.

[SIGHS]

THERE'S DIRTY PICTURES OF ME IN HIS MIND, AND HE...

I BEG HIM TO STOP, BUT...

HE'S OUT OF CONTROL.

AND I RAN OUT...

RAN OUT OF MY OWN HOUSE.

Melissa: HI. YOU'VE REACHED THE YARNELL RESIDENCE.

NEITHER MIKE NOR MELISSA ARE HOME.

PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE. [BEEP]

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING THROUGHOUT]

WATCH IT.

ONE MORE.

WHY DON'T YOU HANG IT UP, PAL, HUH?

I'M CUTTING YOU OFF.

DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

YEAH. YOU'RE FUCKING GONE.

HEY.

BULLSHIT.

YOU FUCKING CRAZY?

I'M CLOSING YOU DOWN.

[OVERLAPPING SHOUTING]

UHH!

[GRUNTING]

AH!

STAY DOWN, OK, PAL?

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE A REAL FUCKING ASSHOLE.

OH!

AAH!

OH!

♪ I SAY YOU CAN TAKE THE BOY OUT OF THE COUNTRY ♪

♪ BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE THE COUNTRY OUT OF THE BOY ♪

GET OUT. I'M GETTING DRUNK JUST SMELLING YOU.

LOOK AT YOU. YOU'RE A MESS.

I THINK I'M LOSING HER, BILL.

EVERY TIME I TRY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT,

I JUST KEEP PUSHING HER FURTHER AWAY.

I JUST KEEP FUCKING UP.

I THINK SHE'S UP TO SOMETHING.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

SHE SCREWING SOMEBODY?

LISTEN TO YOURSELF.

YOU'RE PARANOID.

YOU BETTER JUST CALM DOWN. CALM DOWN?

YEAH, CALM DOWN!

BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN.

YOU CAN'T GO ON LIKE THIS.

DRINKING AND ACTING LIKE A MADMAN.

YOU CAN'T DO THIS, MIKE.

YOU CAN'T DO IT.

YOU BETTER GO INSIDE, TELL HER YOU'RE SORRY,

AND STRAIGHTEN THIS THING OUT.

YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

GO ON.

MELI--

HI.

LOOK, I'M A REAL SHIT. I KNOW IT.

I NEVER SHOULD'VE SAID THOSE THINGS TO YOU.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

YEAH, BUT WHEN YOU SAID THOSE THINGS TO ME, I WENT CRAZY.

LISTEN, I CALLED ALL OVER THE PLACE FOR YOU LAST NIGHT,

WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GO?

I STAYED WITH A FRIEND.

WHO?

MIKE, DON'T START IN ON ME AGAIN.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT!

HOW DID YOU GET THESE SCRATCHES?

DON'T TOUCH ME!

YOU DON'T REMEMBER?

HOW COULD YOU REMEMBER? YOU WERE DRUNK!

LOOK, I SAID I WAS...

[SOBBING]

I'M SORRY. LOOK...

[SIGHS]

I'LL DO ANYTHING.

GO SLEEP IT OFF ON THE COUCH.

I JUST GOT A CALL FROM A PAL OF MINE AT THE D.A.'s OFFICE.

THEY'RE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING CHARGING YOUR FRIEND YARNELL WITH MURDER ONE.

THAT'S BULLSHIT.

WHAT DO THEY HAVE THAT WE COULDN'T FIND?

JUST A LITTLE THING CALLED THE TRUTH.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

WALKER.

YEAH, HANG ON JUST A SECOND.

PLEASE.

TAKE A WALK, POINDEXTER.

WHAT'S WRONG?

ALL RIGHT, SLOW DOWN. JUST...

DON'T WORRY. JUST TELL ME WHERE AND WHEN, AND I'LL BE THERE.

SORRY TO BARGE INTO YOUR LIFE AGAIN.

IT'S ALL RIGHT. ARE YOU OK?

NO, I'M NOT OK.

I FEEL LIKE I'M STUCK IN SOMEONE ELSE'S NIGHTMARE.

[SIGHING]

[THUNDER]

I'M LEAVING HIM.

I'M LEAVING MIKE.

I JUST CAN'T TAKE ANOTHER DAY OF IT.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO, AND...

YOU KNOW WHAT'S INSIDE YOUR HEART.

WHY CAN'T I HAVE A SIMPLE LIFE?

YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMEBODY ELSE'S SINS.

I KNOW, BUT I FEEL GUILTY.

I FEEL GUILTY BECAUSE I CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY MIND.

I CAN'T.

[SIGHS]

IS THAT WRONG?

[DOORBELL RINGS]

[DOORBELL RINGS]

YEAH?

UH, IS MELISSA HERE?

YEAH, SURE, COME ON IN.

UH, WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO AHEAD AND WAIT IN THE LIVING ROOM?

I'LL TELL HER YOU'RE HERE.

SURE.

MELISSA?

MELISSA?

I WAS WRONG. SHE'S NOT HERE.

I'M SORRY.

WELL, WILL TELL HER THAT CHARLENE LERNOUX IS TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HER?

LERNOUX?

I'M MELISSA'S EX-SISTER-IN-LAW.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SISTER-IN-LAW?

I WAS MARRIED TO FARRELL.

5 YEARS I'VE BEEN MARRIED TO MELISSA...

AND NEVER ONCE DID SHE MENTION TO ME SHE HAD A SISTER-IN-LAW.

I CAN BELIEVE THAT.

WHEN I WAS MARRIED TO FARRELL, SHE JUST IGNORED ME.

I THINK IT WAS HER WAY OF GETTING BACK AT HIM.

HEH.

AFTER WHAT THAT PERVERT DID TO HER,

CAN YOU BLAME HER?

WHAT DID HE DO TO HER?

WELL, IT SEEMS THAT WHEN THEY WERE GROWING UP,

UH, HE USED TO MOLEST HER.

[CHUCKLES]

WHAT, THIS IS FUNNY?

OH, THAT'S THE BEST ONE YET.

WHAT, YOU THINK I'M KIDDING?

MELISSA WAS ALWAYS TELLING LIES ON FARRELL.

AND SHE WAS ALWAYS GETTING CAUGHT IN THEM, TOO.

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.

MELISSA HATED FARRELL.

SO WHAT? SHE HATED HIM. BIG DEAL!

I'M NOT HERE TO CAUSE ANY TROUBLE.

GOOD.

ALL I WANT IS MY SHARE OF THE MONEY.

MONEY? WHAT MONEY?

DIDN'T MELISSA TELL YOU?

SHE OWNS THE BAR NOW.

THAT WAS HER BROTHER'S BAR. THAT'S NOT MELISSA'S.

BUT FARRELL'S DYING DROPPED IT RIGHT IN HER LAP.

LOOK IT--WHEN THEIR DADDY DIED,

HE LEFT THE BUSINESS TO FARRELL,

BUT HE LEFT THE LAND THAT IT WAS ON TO MELISSA.

AS LONG AS FARRELL KEPT THAT BAR OPEN,

MELISSA COULDN'T SELL OFF A SPOONFUL OF THE DIRT.

UH, HOW MUCH IS THIS LAND WORTH?

AROUND $2 MILLION.

I'M FINDING THIS KIND OF HARD TO BELIEVE.

I'VE GOT A COPY OF THE WILL WITH ME.

RIGHT HERE ON PAPER.

EVERYTHING REVERTS DIRECTLY TO MELISSA.

YOU'RE BOTH MILLIONAIRES.

[SIGHS]

WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE?

ALL I WANT IS THAT MY KIDS DON'T GO WITHOUT.

WHAT WAS RIGHTFULLY THEIR FATHER'S OUGHT TO GO TO THEM.

TWICE BEFORE, I'VE TRIED TO BROACH THE SUBJECT WITH MELISSA,

BUT SHE KEEPS RUNNING OFF SOMEWHERE TO MEET WITH THAT COP.

WHAT COP?

[WHISPERING] Hi.

HI.

I BROUGHT YOU SOME COFFEE.

REALLY?

MILK, ONE SUGAR.

THAT'S ALL?

I NEED MORE SUGAR.

A LOT MORE.

[TIRES SCREECH]

WALKER!

OPEN THIS FUCKING DOOR! MELISSA, I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE!

MELISSA!

YOU BITCH! YOU SET ME UP!

YOU SET ME UP!

COME ON!

[GUNSHOT]

[GRUNTS SOFTLY]

YOU...

DAMN SON OF A BITCH.

[EXHALES]

WHO AM I SPEAKING TO, PLEASE?

SAL, THIS IS LIEUTENANT WALKER.

CAN I SPEAK TO CAPTAIN BROOKS?

THANKS.

HELLO, CAPTAIN. UH...

NO, SIR. THERE'S, UH-- I NEED AN O.S.I. TEAM

AND A CORONER AT MY HOUSE. THERE'S BEEN AN INCIDENT.

[SIGHS]

NO, SIR, I'M OK.

[SIGHS]

WELL, UH...

YARNELL MADE GOOD ON HIS THREAT, SIR.

YES.

THANK YOU.

MELISSA...

HEY.

HE WAS GONNA KILL US.

MELISSA...

WE HAVE TO GET DRESSED.

UNDERSTAND?

HE WAS GONNA KILL YOU.

[PANTING]

COME ON.

ALL RIGHT, SWEETHEART.

COME ON.

LOOK...

WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS 2 WAYS.

EITHER HE IS GONNA PUT YOU THROUGH THE RINGER

OR I CAN...

I CAN FUDGE YOU THROUGH.

HOW?

YARNELL THREATENED ME THE OTHER DAY AT THE PRECINCT

IN FRONT OF A FEW MEN.

I COULD SAY IT WAS SELF DEFENSE.

MATT, I'M SCARED.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK...

WE HAVE TO HURRY, OK?

'CAUSE THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY.

WE'VE GOT TO HURRY. YOU'VE GOT TO GET DRESSED AND GO HOME.

WHEN THE POLICE COME TO TELL YOU,

YOU'VE GOT TO BREAK DOWN.

YOU WERE NEVER HERE. GO.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[MEN TALKING QUIETLY]

Man: I DON'T KNOW. THE TELEVISION WAS ON.

[CAR DOOR OPENS]

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

MATTHEW.

HI.

I'M SORRY FOR STOPPING BY.

I...

TRIED CALLING. THE MACHINE WAS ON.

YOU OK?

TANNER WAS HERE. HE'S NOT HANDLING IT TOO WELL.

OH.

CAN I COME IN?

I DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA RIGHT NOW.

JUST FOR 5 MINUTES.

NO, MATT, I'M SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE UNDERTAKER'S.

WELL, I WANT TO EXPLAIN WHAT WENT DOWN IN THE INVESTIGATION.

LOOK, I DON'T HAVE THE TIME RIGHT NOW.

I THOUGHT IF ANYONE COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH, IT WOULD BE YOU.

BUT I CAN SEE YOU'RE JUST TOO CONCERNED WITH YOURSELF.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

THIS WHOLE THING IS TO PROTECT YOU.

I'M SORRY, MATT.

I JUST DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA THAT WE SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN.

HEH.

I PUT MY WHOLE CAREER ON THE LINE FOR YOU.

I WAS VULNERABLE.

I CAME TO YOU FOR HELP.

I DIDN'T WANT MIKE DEAD.

WELL, NEITHER DID I.

YOU KNOW? I MEAN, YOU WERE THE ONE WHO SHOT HIM, REMEMBER?

IT WAS YOUR HOUSE...

YOUR GUN.

YOU LIED ABOUT YOUR INVOLVEMENT WITH THE VICTIM'S WIFE.

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO EXPLAIN THAT?

HUH?

[SIGHS]

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

I'M SAYING THAT IT'S OVER BETWEEN US, MATT.

IT'S OVER.

OH, MELISSA--

GOOD-BYE, MATT.

MELISSA--

WHO WAS IT?

MY COMPETITION?

DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH.

WHAT DID HE WANT?

GUESS.

HEH.

HE'S NOT GONNA BE A PROBLEM, IS HE?

I DON'T THINK SO.

YOU SHOULD BE GLAD I CAN'T GET UP AND KICK YOUR ASS TO SUNDAY.

LOOK AT YOU.

YOU'RE A GODDAMN HIGH SCHOOL KID WITH AN ACHING HEART.

IT'S NOT THAT, GIB.

I FUCKED UP, MAN.

EACH TIME THE O.S.I. WALKED ME THROUGH THE GODDAMN SCENE,

I WAS CHOKING ON THE FUCKING LIES I HAD TO FEED THEM.

SORRY.

YARNELL'S VOICE...

KEEPS NAGGING AT ME.

SHE'S DOING IT AGAIN.

I FEEL IT IN MY GUT.

OH, BULLSHIT.

YOU'RE FEELING SO GUILTY ABOUT POKING THIS GUY'S WIFE

YOU'RE BEGINNING TO SEE CONSPIRACIES IN YOUR CEREAL.

YOU'RE LETTING YOUR ACHING HEART AND YOUR COCK-EYED DINGUS

LEAD YOU AROUND.

JUST LOSE THIS THING.

I WISH I COULD.

I KEEP...THINKING...

YARNELL WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY IF I DIDN'T--

BUT YOU DID.

YOU GOT INVOLVED IN A DOMESTIC SITUATION THAT COULD ONLY END IN DISASTER.

DUST IT OFF AND GO BACK TO WORK.

WELL...

PAPPY KNOWS BEST.

WALKER.

WALKER!

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

THE O.S.I. REPORT CAME DOWN.

IT'S OK. AFTER I GAVE MY STATEMENT, IT WAS A LOCK.

YOU KNEW THAT.

[ALMOST INAUDIBLY] THANKS.

HELLO, MELISSA.

[SINGING IN SPANISH]

CAN I COME IN?

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

YOU LITTLE BITCH.

HOW DARE YOU COME HERE ASKING FOR MONEY.

I'M ONLY ASKING FOR WHAT WAS RIGHTFULLY FARRELL'S IN THE FIRST PLACE.

HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT?

I'LL SETTLE FOR HALF.

HEH. YOU HAVE TO BE JOKING. HEH.

HALF?

PUT IT IN A TRUST FUND UNDER THE CHILDREN'S' NAMES.

I CAN'T THINK OF ONE GOOD REASON WHY I SHOULD GIVE YOU ANYTHING.

BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, I'LL CONTEST THE WILL.

I CAN TIE UP THAT MONEY AND DRAG YOU THROUGH THE COURTS FOR YEARS.

NOT ONLY A BITCH, BUT A SCHEMING BITCH.

NO, MELISSA.

I'M JUST A GOOD MOTHER.

PLEASE. SPARE ME THE SELF-RIGHTEOUS BULLSHIT.

[EXHALES FORCEFULLY]

FINE.

[SIGHS]

I'LL HAVE THE PAPERS DRAWN UP TOMORROW.

GREAT.

NOW, GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.

WHY DON'T WE MEET AT FARRELL'S CLUB TOMORROW?

GREAT. WHAT TIME?

HOW ABOUT 1:00?

FINE.

MUCH BETTER.

NOW, GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.

HEH.

GET OUT.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[WHISPERING] Shit.

HEH.

WOMEN.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

MELISSA?

MELISSA, YOU'VE GOT MY PAPERS IN THERE.

Melissa: I TALKED TO HER.

SHE WANTS HALF THE MONEY.

YEAH, SHE WAS HERE.

I THINK SHE'S GONNA BE A PROBLEM.

OH, YOU'LL HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT HER.

GET HER OUT OF THE PICTURE.

GET HER OUT OF THE WAY.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Matt: ONE SECOND.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

CAN I HELP YOU?

I'M CHARLENE LERNOUX.

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT MELISSA YARNELL.

WHAT ABOUT HER?

I THINK SHE IS GOING TO TRY TO KILL ME.

WHERE'D YOU GET THIS?

WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT WAS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT?

DO YOU REALLY EXPECT ME TO USE THIS?

IF WE MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A BREAK-IN, WHO WILL KNOW THE DIFFERENCE?

COME ON.

IF WE MOVE NOW, WE'LL STILL HAVE TIME.

WE'LL BEAT THEM TO THE PUNCH.

AND I KNOW JUST THE MAN WHO SHOULD HAVE A PIECE OF THE ACTION.

WHO?

BILL TANNER.

HE WAS YARNELL'S PARTNER.

I WANT HIM TO KNOW THE TRUTH.

Man, on machine: THIS IS BILL TANNER.

LEAVE YOUR MESSAGE.

[BEEP] Matt: BILL...

UH, THIS IS MATT WALKER.

I HAVE SOME IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

PLEASE MEET ME AT FARRELL'S CLUB.

YOU HAVE THE CROWBAR?

RIGHT HERE.

WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED, DON'T PANIC.

JUST WALK SLOWLY BACK TO THE CAR.

Charlene: HELLO?

MELISSA?

MELISSA!

OK, IF YOU'RE GONNA PLAY GAMES,

I AM LEAVING.

AH! DON'T YOU WANT YOUR MONEY?

Matt: HALPERIN!

[STRAINS]

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

ARE YOU OK?

YEAH.

[DOOR OPENS]

WE GOTTA CALL AN O.S.I TEAM.

MOVE AWAY FROM THERE AND DROP THE GUN.

WHAT, ARE YOU DEAF? MOVE AWAY FROM THERE AND DROP THE GUN!

YOU DROP IT.

Bill: DON'T YOU MOVE!

I THOUGHT YOU AND YARNELL WERE FRIENDS.

LIFE GETS COMPLICATED.

YEAH...

2 MILLION PLUS. NO WONDER.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

TELL HIM.

IT SAYS SO IN THE WILL.

SHOOT HIM. SHUT UP.

WITH THEM OUT OF THE PICTURE, WE CAN HAVE IT JUST THE WAY WE WANT IT.

I SAID SHUT UP!

TELL HIM WHO YOUR BOYFRIEND IS, MELISSA.

[CHUCKLES]

NOBODY. I ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT.

YOU'RE A LIAR.

I USED HIM. I HAD TO USE HIM TO GET HER OUT OF THE WAY.

YEAH.

THAT'S RIGHT. SHE USED HIM.

SHE USED ALL OF US.

TELL HIM, MELISSA.

[CHUCKLING] HE'S LYING.

TELL HIM. TELL HIM!

Matt: LOOKING BACK ON IT ALL,

I GUESS THINGS ENDED UP THE WAY THEY WERE MEANT TO.

CHARLENE SOLD THE BAR.

AT LEAST HER KIDS ARE TAKEN CARE OF NOW.

GIBBY WENT AHEAD WITH HIS RETIREMENT.

HE'S DOING FINE.

MY DAUGHTER FINALLY CAME TO VISIT.

WE HAD A GREAT TIME.

OTHER THAN THAT, THINGS ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME.

YOU KNOW, I HAVE THIS FEELING I USED TO GET WHEN I WAS A KID.

I KEEP THINKING SOMETHING'S GOT TO CHANGE.

IT'S LIKE GIBBY SAID.

I KEEP WONDERING IF THIS IS ALL THERE IS.

MAYBE I'LL FIND OUT.

MAYBE TOMORROW.
