before going home from work yesterday? an alley off of 4th and "d." - you people are scum. - no one is looking to embarrass you here, all right? we are investigating a murder, and we're trying to get you to cooperate. i have nothing to do with that. a murder.r. we figure that's absolutely possible, so why don't you stop your xxxxing and moaning how everyone's infringing your good name, tell us what you know, so my partner and me can do a little freshening up. this can be kept from my employer and my family? [ sighs ] okay. we got into the car-- wait. wait. back up. what? you picked her up on the street? just in that immediate vicinity. and she asked if i wanted to go to a h hel, and i didn't have time, so we went into the alley. she was just starting to undo my trousers-- you'd paid her? forty dollars. and before anything else could happen,

you had your door unlocked? i wanted to be able to get away quickly in-in-in case she decided to rob me. anyway, uh, he took my money and threw my wallet on the floor, and then headed around the front of the car. i-i was just glad enough to get away. and she was still in the car? she, um-- she got out. she was screaming at him. i don't know if they were working together, or if the screaming was a show or what. you see anybody else around? he guy who robbed you. - [ inhales ] uh, muscular. um, medium height. hispanic. all right, thanks, mr. drury. we may want t u to come back in later on for a lineup. i will not testify in any open forum. he said he might need you for a linene. stop yellin' before you're hit. - can i go? - okay.

yeah. think if he'd have known about angela's johnson down there, that would have been an unhappy surprise? that would've been the anchovy on the pizza. - hi. - oh, hi. um, could you close the door? the way you sounded on the phone, i thought i might findndou in restraints. this won't work, l llian. obviously, i've come to take 'em. but i'd like us to take one whirl at discussing this rationally. medavoy's sick. god knows what that's about. i don't think it's about the vitamins you sold him. and i don't want to have to wonder about that, lillian. or worry that gina's buying mints to curry fafar with her boss. i can see where that might be a problem. but it seems to me, uh, an articulate and fair-minded person like yourself can communicate that's the opposite of what would happen.

[ sighs ] this company's been in business for 2323ears. and 60 minutes does expos?s all the time about these pyramid schemes. you're worried about distributors selling franchises.. i'm. this is crazy. we had this conversation last night. look, with the girls in schoho, i know we need the extra income, but i don't want anyone thinkin'-- - don't shake your head at me. - i'll take these home. i'd like to take that boob that sits in judgment in your head and punch him in the nose. i'm sorry. [ rustling paper ] will you at least tell people they can call me?e? with no obligation. no, arthur. if they call and don't buy, i'm gonna come and beat 'em with a stick.

can you identify these items for me? that's my pen. that's your grandmother's necklace and earrings. - and is that everything that was taken? - yes. - i suppose so. - good. - will you sign this for me? - sure. you'll need to go to that address i've indicated to take it out of pawn. i promise you, it's not a country club. i can't tell you how grateful we are. mrs. hastings, you need to understand that lucinda's trying to get well is a long, hard process and doesn't have the world's greatest success rate. she's never understood that. she doesn't want to now. mr. hastings, i'm sure you understand. knowing the process is hard, and lucy might not succeed,

other people are suffering too. i told lucy to use this whenever she felt the need. i hope you'll do the same. can we call lucy? i think you should wait till she calls you first. jill, i feel this is just a turning of the corner. sure. ah, can you show yourselves out? we got our thumbs up our butts pretty good. perp liable presently to be relocated to san juan. now this peaches is in the wind. yeah, peaches in the wind probably means jimmy cortez is still around.

g up all night? we've gotta find peaches, and we gotta sit on this guy cortez's place again. how would you put out a description on her? "subject looks like rolonda or godfrey cambridge." 's accurate, bobby. crime's down. crime's down. they always come up with these full-of-nonsense statistics. look at that chehe of yours. i'd just as soon not talk about it. you know, you need to get you a little piece for your purse. - arthur cartwell. - says he has information on your case. including that big blimp that caught on fire. - which one crashed? not snoopy? - whwh do you got, arthur? i'd like to communicate in somewhat more confidential surroundings. oh, absolutely.

so! so? so. [ coughs ] pretty pross named angela, she no longer amongst us. give i iup, cartwell. how 'bout you giving up how much a eyewitness i.d. gonna be worth? being as how, uh, that willie lopez clearance put big feathers in y'all's caps, and left me 'bout as poor as when i woke up. make all the hearings, arthur. i'm familiar with how them wheels turn. are we hearing chapter and verse any point in the near future? jimmy cortez did angela. cut her up in that alley like a bird. - which you saw from where? - across the street in a car. they'r'rin the street having a shouting match, then he take her over in that alley start cuttin' on her--

. i guess it was a-a lover's quarrel. you know, certain elements. you know, they-- everybody know they got a thing. - anybody else around there? - uh-uh. but y'all got me. hmm. you're lying, arthur. see, now there you go with this doubtin' me. that black whore send you in here, huh? told you what she saw, clean up the story? i don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about. oh, sure you do, arthur. you see, we know peaches was there. [ coughs ] okay. say that this is so. - shut up! - where we gonna find peaches, arthur? how much that gonna be worth? you not needin' to have your jaw reset. c-note.

[ gasping ]

call an ambulance and shut the door. so, when the bag was bad you came back here to rob me? still had to get off. i wasn't attracting too many johns throwing up on myself. [ laughing ] can i i t some water? no, i don't want to put anything in your stomach - until we know what's going on. - god,d,ou've got so many rules. - [ knocking ] - [ boy ] mom, can i come in? - no, sweetheart. - i want to draw a picture for ya. - what's gonna happen now? - we'll get you taken care of at the hospital. - then you're going to jail. - [ sobbing ] i ain't gonna be a part of it. peaches, you reached out to someone else to give a perjured statement

protect you from cortez. - how you protected angela? she came here and begged you for help. there was noththg we could do there, peaches. bring the d.a. a whore getting slapped, all's we're gonna get is, "don't let the door hit your ass." murder's a different story, peaches. eyewitness, you'll get housing, d.a.'s squad looking after you. [ sobs ] she was my friend, you know? we were friends for six years. i know that. here we go with the faucets. some future day when jimmy's unaware, i will come and take a razor to him. but don't do nothing simple, like give up a ststement now. when he's unaware, 'cause a cut throat don't entail walking around on bail. [ knocking on door ]

peaches, we gotta go somewhere. i-i'm gonna get hank to take you home, all right? - sure. whatever. - i'll get hank. [ cortez ] hey, let me out. i'm gonna get you, cartwell. [ cartwell ] hey, batter, batter-- let me outta here! - batter, batter, batter-- - [ cortez ] let me outta here, cartwell! - let me outta here! - [ cartwell ] do just like i said. i'll be damned if he don't got him.

i'm pressing charges. that's why lucy's being held. i see. and you feel that's best? mrs. hastings, lucy is a heroin addict and a street whore. her body and mind are both sick, and she won't face any of that. i just can't believeve ja. are you gonna bail her out? i-i can't imagine it's the solution. no. no, it's not. jail's a terririe place, well, couldn't she just stay where she is in the hospital, with the guard outside? mrs. hastings, i don't want to hurt your feelings, but the way you're thinknkg is helping to keep your daughter sick. lucy has to face the truth without someone protecting her, or else she won't face it at all, and then she's gonna wind up dead. i know you don't want that. my husband is dying,

yeah, you're in big compliance with the law. sit down. sit down! and the next time you murder somebody, xxxxxxx, change your shoes. the lab is gonna run that shoe, jimmy, and if that's angela's blood, you are going down for murder, man. if that's blood, i don't know how that got there.
