Mmm.

Seems like before I left

you and Suzanne were this big

riding your Sting Rays around.

Now she's getting married.

Me too, soon.

I thought you were jazzed about it.

I am. Um, you need a drink?

- You hungry? - I can get it.

You sure, Brian?

Uh, ladies and gentlemen.

Okay, uh..

♪ Come along with me ♪♪

Okay, let's, uh..

'Let's just get this over with so we can eat, huh?'

Mr. and Mrs. Terry Lucas.

[applauding]

Uh, thanks a bunch for coming, everyone

and uh, ma, dad, thanks for the new Mustang.

Yay!

Everybody, we've got five minutes

before we charge you for your drinks, so get going.

Uh, um, me and Terry also wanna say a special welcome home

to Fishtown's own war hero, my maid of honor's brother

and a brother to me, Brian McCormick.

[applauding]

"I would have brought it tonight

"but I didn't wanna embarrass.

'When Suzanne and I were girls, we rode out all.."'

Oh!

Don't tell me that guy's your boyfriend.

Fiance, actually.

That guy?

With you?

Well, that's not right.

I'm not sure you should be smoking marijuana.

This is a wedding.

'I'm just trying to get in the spirit.'

[instrumental music]

[siren blaring]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[knocking]

Oh, this is a new look.

Yeah, yeah, I slept like crap.

Who we calling on here?

Guy named Warren Cousins.

We got an arrest warrant for him from 1969.

What's the story?

Well, local Fishtown girl was found

strangled in his apartment.

Eleanor McCormick.

What did they get from him the first time around?

[Stillman] 'There was no first time.'

Warren hightailed it to Canada the night of the murder.

- The Mounties couldn't help? - 'They couldn't find him.'

They think he changed his name up there, went underground.

No one's heard word one from him in 36 years.

What brought him back to Philly?

Father's funeral.

He's holed up with an old buddy in this place.

Busybody neighbor recognized him, called it in.

Let's go.

[dramatic music]

[knocking]

Philadelphia PD for Warren Cousins.

I'm Warren.

Warren Cousins, you're under arrest

for the 1969 murder of Eleanor McCormick.

What? Ellie's dead?

[theme music]

[Stillman] Witnesses saw Warren hassling Ellie

at her best friend's wedding. He was the singer.

[Valens] 'What? Trying to get a piece?'

Well, only Ellie's engaged. Shuts him down.

A few weeks later, she's got the life

choked out of her at his place.

Autopsy shows bruising on her knees and neck.

- Strangled. - By someone with dirty hands.

Unidentified residue across her throat.

- Prints come with that? - Hmm.

It's only partial. No help.

Let's have Frannie take a look at the autopsy.

Maybe modern medicine tells us more.

Yeah, maybe the lab can ID the dirt.

[Vera] Found a relative of your girl.

Brother Brian still lives at the old address.

Oh, you and Will sit down with him.

You don't believe in shaving anymore?

It was a late night.

Why are you looking so haggard?

Man, I should go home and start over again.

[clears throat]

There's no reason.

I haven't spoken to Ellie in 36 years.

Sort of the point here, Warren.

I mean I didn't know she was dead.

God, I wouldn't kill her.

We had a relationship. I loved her.

So true love made you change your name

and disappear for 36 years?

I went to Canada because I was a draft resister.

And all those years, you never write to her.

- Pick up the phone? - I couldn't. I was a fugitive.

What about down here?

No one told you the cops were looking for you?

I broke off all contact with my old life.

The buddy I went to Canada with came back in the 90s.

He called me when he saw my Dad's obit.

And you never asked after Ellie?

Ellie was the one who got away.

I still thought about her, but I let her go

when she didn't come north with me.

How we doin'?

Oh, Warren says Ellie was going to Canada too.

It's Bonnie and Clyde, huh?

Runnin' from the law?

That was the plan, but she never showed up.

Well, couple of hanks in that story, Warren.

Yeah, like her being dead in your apartment.

She left her suitcase there, earlier that day.

Maybe she went to get it and someone killed her.

Uh, there was no suitcase in the crime report.

Now, how's the story really go?

A screw-up like you sets his sights on a pretty girl.

Can't close the deal, so she gets punished?

- You got it all wrong. - Hmm.

Ellie's the one who came after me.

When me and Suzanne were seven

we planned our whole life out and wrote it in a diary.

'I would have brought it tonight'

but I don't wanna embarrass her.

See, she wrote pages and pages

about how she was moving out to Hollywood

and becoming Mrs. Elvis Presley.

Eh, that's no fair. She did, too.

But I'm so glad she found her real true love

here in Fishtown.

'Because the life that I wrote in that diary'

was that she was my neighbor, my maid of honor

'the godmother of my children'

and my best friend for life.

So, here's to that.

We were together for six weeks after that.

Then I left.

A one conversation at a wedding

and Ellie chucks her marriage plans

to take up with you.

Yeah.

I still ain't hearin'

how she ends up dead at your place.

I don't know how that happened.

All I know is I loved that girl.

And that always ends well.

This works out nice.

We got room in the trunk?

Brian McCormick?

Are you the detectives that called?

It's about Warren Cousins. He's back in town.

What does the creep have to say for himself?

Says it wasn't him who killed your sister.

[Jeffries] 'You got ideas otherwise, Brian?'

She's dead in his apartment. That gives me ideas.

Warren says he and your sister had a relationship.

He does, huh?

Anything to that?

Well, something had hold of Ellie those last weeks.

Maybe Warren.

Seemed like something beatnik.

Is it true?

Ellie, your brother wants to brag

he'll do it to me over beers.

I just wanna hear about it.

Eleanor..

...it's starting.

[man on TV] 'The birthdates in today's draft lottery'

'are as follows..'

You never know who to trust over there.

- When they did this.. - 'June 23rd.'

...it was just a little girl.

She comes up to me like she needs help.

Opens her hand..

[man on TV] 'May 20th.'

- 'October 9th.' - Oh, man, that's Terry.

'February 14th.'

'November 6th.'

'March 12th.'

Keeping your fingers crossed for me, babe?

Hey, what's the matter with you?

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

My birthday wasn't called yet.

[sobbing] I know. I know.

Yeah. You're real strange lately, Ellie, you know that?

What was she crying about?

Don't know.

The guy she's in love with since she's 12 just got saved.

Made no sense.

Okay, Brian.

It's been most of my life now but..

'...it never settles with you.'

Not being somebody's older brother anymore.

[sighs] What got Ellie so upset that night?

Maybe a shock to her, what her brother said about Vietnam.

Hmm.

Lab did a rush job for you.

Get anything good?

Swabbed the residue around your girl's neck.

Found minute traces of chrome in it.

Came from the doer's hands?

Maybe flaked off a car, appliance.

[Frannie] 'Besides the knee and neck bruises'

there was an abrasion above her eye from an earlier injury.

Earlier by hours?

More like days.

So, chrome on the doer's hands

plus someone roughed her up recently.

What if it was the draft lottery Ellie was reacting to?

'Fifth birthday called.'

February 14, Valentine's Day.

Lover boy, Warren.

And she was crying 'cause he got drafted.

Maybe she did love him.

- Oh! - Just getting in?

I slept at the bar.

[chuckles]

Sure, you did.

- What? - Chris, I'm a detective.

I met someone.

[sighs] He from the bar?

Yeah, but it's not like how you think, Lil.

Uh-huh.

It's someone good, for a change.

We talk, and laugh, and connect.

Really.

[sighs]

He taking you out for your birthday tomorrow?

''Cause if not..'

...I am.

That would be great.

I wouldn't have guessed it, but, uh..

...it's been good..

...having you here.

[buzzer]

[sighs]

Part of your story holds up, Warren.

- Maybe Ellie did fall for you. - Okay.

There's a part that's still shady.

All her stuff was at home and accounted for.

No missing suitcase.

I told you what I know.

It was light blue, white handles.

You know anything about her fiance?

Bud Lydecker?

I just saw him at the wedding.

Well, you two got together.

Means Ellie must have broken up with him, right?

Yeah.

You know anything about how he handled it?

Getting traded in for a..

For a long-haired draft dodger.

Probably wasn't thrilled.

Any specific backlash?

I-I didn't think so at the time, but..

...Ellie did come to see me one night.

About a week after the wedding.

- Hey. - Hi.

I did not think you would come.

Hello.

- Oh, this is-- - Oh, yeah, the-the bride.

- Congratulations. - Oh, yeah.

My husband would flip his lid to see this place.

I just saw this woman with, like, paint on her

and nothing else.

Can I get you something? Uh, beer? Dope?

- You guys-- - Oh, no, no.

Look, you know what? Maybe I would.

The Beatles do it, so, you know..

I'll have a beer.

- Uh, this powder room? - Yeah, it's right over there.

I talked to my brother.

You did?

It was bad for him over there.

My parents don't wanna hear it, but..

...I think he wants to talk..

...like you said.

I keep thinking about everything you said.

I keep thinking about you.

[glass shattering]

[screaming]

Yo, yo, that's twisted, man.

That was him, Ell. You know it was.

- Who? - No one.

You think Bud threw that brick?

Must be who they meant.

Yeah, okay.

Maybe he's the one who should be cooling it in here.

Let me go see to my dad's arrangements.

You're still our number one guy, Warren.

Detective.

Did you find anything else out..

...about Ellie?

She, uh, cried when you got drafted.

[Bud] 'Knock it down, and..'

Okay, take a look around. Go on.

Oh, I'm losing 'em.

- Nice timing. - You want another 36 years?

Aw, crap, go ahead.

Uh, you said it was about Ellie?

Wondering how you took it when she threw you over

for this Warren guy.

Uh, I'm the one threw her over.

I dried up on us after my buddy, Terry's wedding. Cut her loose.

So that brick through her new guy's window

that was you saying we could still be friends?

Ah, the brick.

Yeah, I'll cop to that.

But I didn't know the hippie lived there.

- That was meant for bridezilla. - Suzanne?

On account of her behavior at the wedding.

[coughing]

- 'Oh, my God! Oh, my God!' - Oh, my God, Ellie, it's--

Suzanne, what are you doing?

What, you need an interpreter?

Terry! Terry!

Shh! Bud, just, just turn around, okay?

'I gotta pull myself up here.'

Besides, I'm with the same girl since I'm 12.

I was done.

What Suzanne mean Ellie was a hypocrite?

Uh, something related to their chick conspiracy.

'I didn't press for details.'

You'll have to ask 'zilla herself.

You got an alibi for when Ellie died?

Working late at the sugar factory.

My pop waited up to tell me.

She was the first person I knew close that died.

Hmm. Ellie.

[dramatic music]

So, you finally got that singer, huh?

Warren Cousins? Yeah.

He's in custody for Ellie's murder.

It's a long time comin'.

Suzanne, uh, Warren says he and Ellie were in love. True?

Oh, she was dreamy about him. No other man could compare.

Not Bud?

Bud, or the rest of the species.

We heard about that brick incident.

Bud said that was on him.

I knew it.

Yeah, but he mentioned a different reason.

Somethin' about your wedding night?

Yeah, mistakes were made.

Well, what did you mean that night

calling Ellie a hypocrite?

Well, she told me about meeting Warren, and..

...it was suddenly making her question things.

Oh, like settling with Buddy boy?

And endin' up with her mother's life.

Same thing crossed my mind walking down the aisle.

So, at the reception, all I'm thinkin' is

"What did I just do?"

Enter the drummer.

So, was Ellie gonna do something to change her plans?

Yeah.

Yeah, '65.

Hmm.

It's a chrome bumper.

What kinda person makes a kid

You coming down on me for that?

No, we're homicide. It's a little more serious.

Sit-ups until the whistle.

- You remember Ellie McCormick? - Yeah, sure. Great girl.

We hear she tried to get your wife

to pull a "Thelma & Louise" on you.

Run off together, leave you all alone.

You'd be short a punching bag, thanks to Ellie.

The girls were always talkin'.

It was just talk.

But you took 'em seriously.

What did you call her again?

It was something unflattering, I think.

Plus, there was chrome on her body

like on your Mustang.

From your hands to her neck.

And you knew where she went at night, right? Hmm.

Oh, heck.

Okay, straight story.

I went over there, once.

To give Ellie what for?

No, I heard the girls schemin'.

I thought maybe I could change my plans

'cause all I had to look forward to

was going to die in the jungle.

- Ellie! - What are you doing here?

I know what you think of me right now.

But I'm just not in my right way.

I'm flipped out.

You know I'm going to 'Nam, right?

I know your birthday got called.

Well, I saw your brother at the wedding.

Katie looking around during the dance songs

embarrassed to be with him.

That can't be me.

You're nothing like him, Terry.

I gotta go.

Ellie, wait!

I know Suzanne doesn't love me.

So maybe..

Maybe I should just beat it to Canada

where you and that guy are going.

[sighs] Can I talk to him?

No, you can't come in.

But I'm scared.

Like your boyfriend..

He's not scared.

He has beliefs.

Find your own way to Canada.

So, you wanted to duck the draft too?

Didn't have the nerve though.

[sighs] Got lucky.

Ended up watching the border in Korea.

How do you know where to find Ellie?

From Bud.

Wait, Bud was still keeping tabs after they were over?

He was only camped out there night after night.

I-I thought hegave Ellie the brush-off.

Hey, it's not for me to say.

But if that's how it went, why was he stalkin' her?

[Bud] 'I already talked to the other two.'

- Yeah, I know. - So, what am I doing here?

I guess we didn't get the truth just yet

about how you and Ellie ended.

Well, you can go pound sand if you don't believe me.

Maybe you just misrepresented

how that final talk went.

You ever had a fiancee?

[chuckles]

And, uh, she screwed my head up good.

Well, that's what Ellie did to me.

So maybe over time, I wanna remember it

a little different, you know? Pride thing.

Yeah, well, youput in the time.

You're the long-term guy.

And some new act waltzes in, she goes nutty.

Sure.

You can't talk to him about it.

What, a rational conversation with a woman?

Inever had one.

Well, you tried, but two seconds later

they got you frothing at the mouth, right?

And pretty soon, you got a mess on your hands.

That how it went, Bud?

You can't have her, no one can?

Hey, I took it harder than I said, but come on!

- I didn't kill her. - You staked the place out.

I watched for her one night.

- A few nights. - I heard a week.

So, a week!

Believe me, I wasn't the messed-up one.

I went to the door finally, walked into World War III.

that end up smacking their girls around.

I never touched her.

There was a witness outside your apartment.

Heard screamin', violence.

- It wasn't me. - Oh!

Ellie got her face bloody all by herself?

I promised her I'd never tell.

But I guess I've been keeping promises to a ghost

for a long time now.

So?

It was Brian yelling in my apartment.

- He the one hurt her? - He was detoxin'.

Not in his right mind.

With heroin?

A lot of guys came back with a habit.

I knew the signs as soon as I saw Brian at the wedding.

'It was..'

...ugly, you know?

He got so pissed off one night he threw a plate at Ellie.

'Cut her face.'

Why did you get involved in it?

Ellie wouldn't leave with me with Brian sick.

The plan was after he got clean, Ellie and I would go north.

Well, that stuff holds on tight, Brian.

You can't just give it up easy.

So maybe you slipped up

the night Ellie decides to leave.

[Valens] 'You went to Warren's to talk her out of it.'

Only you're in such a haze, you do something you regret.

Something you're just sittin' on for all these years.

No, I wouldn't do that. I got clean.

There was chrome on her neck, Brian.

- 'From your chair.' - No!

You got that junk in your veins

and now, your baby sister goes behind your back

'and sneaks off. You got nobody.'

You're down so low, you break.

I was clean..

...when I did it.

Ah, God.

For the first time in so long..

...I was clear.

I could see right to tomorrow..

...and all the way down the line.

Brian.

I heard you get up and go.

Ellie, you really gonna leave me?

I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye.

It hurts too much.

So don't.

I love him, Bri.

I wanna start a life with him up there.

While I'm down here alone in the house?

You're not alone.

Mom and dad are there. Kate.

No.

What?

She's gone.

El..

...there's not gonna be anyone for me.

- Sure there is. - No, I..

I don't work..

...how men do.

Brian, that's not what a man is.

It's about who you are on the inside.

How you treat people, how you love them.

[chuckles] Oh!

But that's where it's all rotten.

No.

El, the little girl who did this..

...she recognized me, that's why.

Because we went into her hut, and we dragged out her parents

and her grandparents, and we threw them in a bunker

and tossed in a grenade.

She finds me later.

So starving, she's probably 40 pounds wet.

And all I was thinking was..

"...I should have killed her too."

El, you are the only one I can tell these things to.

[sobbing]

- You're not rotten. - 'Cause you don't know.

Okay?

Because you get to leave, and forget

and I am stuck here..

...for the rest of my life.

What about me?

Brian, it's alright.

No, I'm stuck.

Just-just let me-let me..

But I am stuck.

[dramatic music]

I am stuck!

I am stuck!

I'm stuck.
