"know the guy's right off witness statements and physical evidence," plus... "he don't confess, your witnesses get beat or killed for testifying." me, if i feel i gotta do it, i hit 'em. you're committin' a crime. i'm committin' a crime. and if i'm caught, rview." so she wouldn't have to testify-- they'll sit on my jury at trial a a they'll vote to lock me up. i better know all that before i raise a hand. - who's this guy writin' foror - me.

[door closes] no. that's, uh, okay, if you prefer to make the i.d. tomorrow. i'll pick you up at 9:00 tomorrow. all right, ma'am.

[sighs] you want me waitin' at my crib until you decide t tcome over for another soul-search, diane?

i'm not playin'. i'll talk to you tomorrowowhmm? [knocks] i'm back. who beeped? oh, that was greg. gina, that, uh, guy you i.d.'d off the polaroid? he confessed. so you don't have to worry about bein' in contact with him. that's a big relief. yeah. the doctor stopped while you were gone. says he's reasonably optimistic.

- you put that outta your mind. - thth's my fear. listen to me. you know what we have to do? i got hurt. i was reluctant to call my parents, same like you. they're afraid of hospitals. see, but you gotta trust your parents to show their love for you. they love their daughter more than they're afraid. afraid if they'll be upset. i don't wanna call till morning. sure. that's fine. it's not necessary. it's all right. really. so you just took the short course on how my ex-husband operates.

yeah. - i'm glad that skell, attacked gina, gave ya a statement. - yeah. do they know how bad it's gonna be? no. not yet. - she got family with her? - i'm not sure. james martinez is over seein' her. i could tell they had a little something goin' on. oh, you pick up on that kinda stuff, huh? yeah. i do. what'd you work today? perp went and hung himself. hmm. - they should popularize that as an alternative to trial. - [chuckles] this is sure fun. yeah? yeah. i mean, dating is so hard-- just gettin' it organized. and then, uh, the guy almost always turns out to be a jerk. but i don't wanna quit. i'm a... big romantic.

[chatter on tv, indistinct] what's he doin'? he's just lying there lookin' like he told himself a joke in his sleep. [chuckles] yeah, i've seen that. looks like he told it to himself a couple times before too, and he still thinks it's funny.

russell. she's not doin' good. how do you tell? it's like she's... stuck. about a week or so ago, bobby says she seems better, but it's like it trailed off. does "better" mean ready to do what bobby wants? he's not that way, sylvia. he loves her, but he's concerned for her also. andy, do you think that we could really afford me stopping work? absolutely. i-- i get a marshal's job moonlighting. it won't equal your income, but we'd have less expenses. yeah. we wouldn't need a sitter for theo or to budget for my business clothes. don't you worry about money. yeah. right.

theo just keeps floatin' into my head. i have to reconnect with what i'm doing, just, kinda like from a-- a standing start. but then i'll wind up thinking, "i'm doing this... "when i could be... thinkin' about his dopey mug without feeling guilty or... at home holding him." him and you...

goin' on? hi. - ginger ale. - yeah. [liquid pouring] you know about jimmy. yeah, i do. that was somethin', huh? [ice cubes clinking] that was awful. yep. with jimmy you never knew what was comin' next. jimmy didn't tell me what he was into. i knew him a long time. i never knew either. hmm. i'll believe that if you want me to. you're the customer. [door opens] did jimmy talk about me? [door closes]

did he tell you if he slept with me? he didn't say. if he drugged me? no, babe. that psycho snitch didn't say. but i'll tell ya how he had circulation problems off bein' diabetic, and he did like to add his little potions to ladies' drinks. am i taking you wrong? are you lookin' to, uh, find out if he drugged you, or did you wanna score some more fizzies? what?

you think i wanted that to happen-- for him to do that to me? my mistake. you're lucky i don't arrest you. oh-ho, yeah. call the cops. tell 'em a wacko skirt in patrick's wants me arrested for asking what she's doing here. i just need to call a friend. i don't care who you call. make it quick, and get outta here! [coin clinks in pay phone] [tapping keys] [chatter on tv, indistinct] [phone rings] [ringing continues] [sighs] yeah. all right. i'll be right there. get out then.

russell.
