"OUT OF TIME" "In St. Petersburg, Florida, a 52-year-old man let two young women in the house." "They lift their tops, expose themselves to the guy." "Chief Whitlock." "Chief Whitlock, it's Ann." "Ann-Merai Harrison." "Somebody just broke into my house." "Be right over, ma'am." "How you doing, Miss Harrison?" "Chief." " You okay?" " I'm fine." " Mind if I come in?" " Come in." "Oh, boy." "Did you." "Get a good look at him?" "Yeah." "He was about your height." "Your weight." "He kind of looked like you." "Like me?" "So he was good-looking." "No." "Sorry." "Just not my type." "So this ugly man, you know how he got in the house?" "The bedroom window." "Is it all right if I come in your bedroom?" "Yeah." "Come in." " Tell me what happened." " Okay." "I was asleep, but." "Then I woke up because I felt something." "I saw the window was open." "He was standing right where you are." "Right here?" "You sure?" "Okay." "So what did he do?" "He, uh, came toward me." "He came toward you?" "Like this?" " Then he grabbed me." " Where?" "Right here." "Like that?" "But he was much stronger than you." "Like that?" "He forced himself on top of me." "Like that?" "His breath smelled like he'd been drinking on the job, like yours." "Really?" "What happened next?" " He kissed me." " Where?" "Where, baby?" "Then he stripped me naked." "Sorry." "He ripped my shirt off." "You didn't put up much of a fight." "Really?" "I didn't put up a fight?" "So you took control." "What did you do next?" "What did you do, baby?" "Watch me." "Tell me what you did next." "Chief?" "I need you at the Scuttlebutt." "We got a situation here that's about to blow." "Chief?" "Tony, what's up?" "Where are you, Chief?" "We need you to come, quick." "Chief?" "Okay..." "Look, Tony." "I'm coming now." "I got to go, baby." "I got to go." "I have to go, but." "So... we'll pick up on this crime tomorrow?" " Okay." " What kind of crime?" "Assault with a deadly weapon." "Breaking and entering." "See you later, baby." " How y'all doing?" " Good, Chief." " Good morning." " Hi, there." "Mathias Lee Whitlock." "How you doing, Chris?" "Having breakfast with all your friends?" "I would invite you, Chris, but I don't want to." "I'd sit down, but I don't want to." "They find us a table?" "We're in the back." " Matt." " How you doing, Ann?" "I'm starving." " Good to see you." " You, too." "Hey, Chris." "Try the crab." "It's real good." "I'm allergic." "I know." "Right." "How you doing, Sharlene?" " What time is it?" " It's 3:00, Chief." "Hey, man." "They're out of paper towels again." " How you doing, Chae?" " Good." "I thought the camera only added 10 pounds." " Looks good, doesn't it?" " Kind of." "In a pudgy way." "I thought we might revisit my offer to invest in a business venture." " Costa Rica?" " Charter fishing boat." "Steal the evidence money." "You file a report on it yet?" " Is that it?" " That's it." " 485 grand." "Can I touch it?" " No." " I just want to touch it." " Get out of there." " Maybe I'll steal it." " Maybe I'll shoot you." "Stop thinking like a cop." "Listen to my proposition." "Take a grand out." "Go to the boat show." "Walk around with the money." "Just to see what it feels like to know we could buy a boat." " I'll see you in a minute." " Well?" " Chae." " Stranger." " How you doing?" " How are you, Alex?" "I need your keys." "I'm fine, thanks for asking." "You?" "I need your keys." "I left a couple of things." "Okay." "I'll go with you." "No." "Uh-uh." " Why not?" " Please." "Please, what?" "I don't want to get into anything." "I have a lot of work." "I understand." "I know your work is important." "You starting with that?" "I'm going to pretend to make a phone call." "Congrats on making detective, Alex." "Thanks, Chae." "Forget it." "Even if I left the Hope Diamond there, it's not worth it." " Bye, Matt." " Bye, Alex." "Just give me the keys." "They're on the desk, in front of you." "I'll drop them off." "See you, Chae." "Conceivably." "She looks good." "Sometimes I think you want me to shoot you." "Wait." "Hold that thought." "Medical examiner." "Yeah, yeah." "All right." "What kind of prick dies at cocktail hour on a Friday?" "The nerve of some people." "Have a good one." "Catch anything?" "I'm trying to catch my self-respect." "Figure out why I'm in the middle of this threesome." "Foursome." "You're forgetting your wife." "She left me." "In fact, I told her the other day - well, today- to come get her stuff." "How's the pro football quarterback?" "Up north, hunting for the weekend." "The whole weekend." "I got a splinter in my behind." "You okay?" "Oh, I'm okay." "Definitely." "It's all right." "You still love her, don't you?" "You still love her, don't you?" "Yeah, I do." " But you're divorcing her." " You still got your ring on." "Chris needs me." "Okay." "He does." "He's lost." "Been that way since he got cut from the team." "I feel sorry for him." "Remember that next time he goes upside your head." "Hello." "Okay." "Sure." "I'll be right there." " Ann-Merai, hi." " Dr. Frieland." " This is my brother, Matt." " Nice to meet you." "Sorry to bring you in today." "I was in surgery all day yesterday." "You can talk in front of him." "It's fine." "Okay." "Right." "Ann, I'm afraid there's been a bit of a setback." "I got your tests back yesterday, and." "The cancer is not in remission." "It's come back very aggressively." "It's attacked your liver and lungs." "How long?" "Well, that's difficult to say." "How long?" "Five, six months." "I mean, no one can say for sure." "But I feel fine." "I'd like you to see a counselor here." "She's very good." "She'll help you during this period." "Thank you for coming in on your day off." "Ann, wait." "Excuse me." "Maybe you could speak to her about the counselor." "Listen, you should be able to do something, right?" "What about that experimental stuff, like "60 Minutes"?" "I don't know." "I mean, there are alternative approaches." "Yeah?" "I mean, let's see." "Autologous cancer vaccines, hematology procedures, like pheresis." "Hyperthermia treatments." "Here, take a look at those." "They're extremely expensive and there are no guarantees." " Thanks." " Okay." "You all right?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "When I was with you." "I forgot about it." "For a few hours, I didn't think about dying." "I understand." "They do have alternative stuff." "There's a clinic in Switzerland and it..." "I know, my blood." "I don't put much stock in that." "There's like a 17% success rate." "A whole 17%?" "Odds are better I'd hit the lottery, which is what I'd need to afford that." "Listen..." "Where are you going?" "We shouldn't do this anymore." "It wasn't right for me to drag you into this." "You didn't drag me into anything." "I'm a big boy." "Matt, I'm dying." "I'm dying." " Thanks for the flowers." " You're welcome." "The girls at work were so jealous." "Glad to hear it." "I know that's not why you called." " What's up?" " I want to show you something." " Did Chris hit you again?" " No." "When we were married, we took out life insurance policies." "But only for $100,000." "This says a million dollars." " Did you know about this?" " No." "I signed some things, but I didn't know he made changes." "He can't do this, it's fraud." "You're sick." "No, no." "I was diagnosed 6 months ago." "Chris increased the policy a year ago, right after my 32nd birthday." "My mother was 33 when she died of cancer." " Is that Chris?" " He's here." " Good." "He can explain this." " No, no." " Why not?" "Now is the time." " It's not the time." "When is the time?" "When is the time?" "Please." "I'm sorry." "I just took the trash out." "I thought you were working a double tonight." "Yeah, I bet you did." "How was your appointment on Saturday?" " Appointment?" " With Dr. Frieland." "I didn't have an appointment." "No?" "You sure?" "I'm sure." "Jay saw you go in his office." "He said you went inside with some other guy." "I just stopped by to ask some questions." " So now you were there." " Yes, but..." "Goddamn, here we go with the lies again." " I'm not lying." " Yes, you are lying!" "How you doing, football player?" " Good, Mathias." "You?" " I'm good." "Judy Anderson called, said she saw a prowler." "You see anything?" "Nah." "What about your wife?" "She didn't see anything." " You didn't ask her." " She didn't say anything about it." "Maybe I should ask her." "Not that I don't trust your mind-reading." " Hey, Ann." " I didn't see anything." "Okay?" " I'll just check the perimeter." " Go ahead." " You see someone, you holler." " Oh, yeah." "Ann?" "You have a good night." " We did it." " This wasn't necessary." "My name shouldn't be on your house." "I'll buy my own in a few years." "All right." "Chief Whitlock." "Hey, baby, it's me." "I think I found a way to go to that Swiss clinic." "Right." "Uh." "Can you talk?" " Forget it, forget it." " I'm sorry." "No, no." "I have to go." "Tell her I say hi." " Hello?" " Is this a bad time?" "Can you talk?" "You have to hear this." "It's incredible." "I name you the beneficiary of my life insurance policy." "Not me personally." "You name the Living Gift as beneficiary." "After we buy the policy from you." "And you, I mean, Living Gift, collects on the policy when I die." "As the beneficiary, yes, we collect." "So you make a profit if she dies." "Is that legal?" "We wouldn't be here otherwise." "So, how much do I get?" "The sum depends on how long your medical staff says I have." "How about a ballpark figure?" " $750,000." " I know." "Even if they have to repeat the treatment." "There's enough left for us to go somewhere." "Like the Conch Festival in Key West?" "Clambake in Opa-Locka?" "No." "Europe." "Europe?" " Wow." " Or Africa." "I'm going to beat this." "You watch." "Richard Petty, give me a hand." "Hey, man, watch it." "Don't slip." "Watch the blood." "Come on, Ann." "Talk to me." "Their investors won't let them buy new policies." "The Living Gift?" "Well, we can get somebody else to buy it." "I can't." "There's only 2 days left to change it." "What do you mean?" "The beneficiary can't be changed after a year, that's in 2 days." "Maybe we can." "Two days!" "Ann, listen." "Don't." "Don't." "This is not fixable." "Just go, Matt." "Just go." "What was it Alex wanted to pick up?" "I don't know." "Over for sure now, huh?" "She left something so she could see you, see if she still had feelings." "Based on what I saw, she didn't have any feelings." "Except anger." "I think you've had enough." "I'm trying to help you here." "Your patron here has been overserved." "I may have to cite you, Elena." "See you tomorrow, Chae." "See you tomorrow." "Man, busting my chops, Mr. Drinking-On-Duty." "I'll see you." " Good night." " Take it easy." "Let me get you a refill." "No, I'm good, Chris." "It ain't a bribe." "Just a beer." "Two of whatever he was drinking." "Thank you." "Let me ask you something." "That night when you were looking for the prowler, did you see anybody?" "No, I didn't." "Because I had this feeling when I got home." "That Ann was with some other guy." "Really?" "I think he snuck out the back when I got home." "I didn't see anybody." "I'll tell you, next time that little pussy comes around." "Little pussy?" "The guy scurries out the back door... the second he hears my voice." "You know, I could almost respect." "A man who had the balls to confront me." "Tell me, "Yeah, I'm banging your wife."" "Maybe there's nothing this guy would rather do than." "Tell you you're a lousy husband and you don't deserve Ann." "Maybe there's nothing he'd rather do." "Than walk up to you and look you in the eye and say:" ""Chris, I'm banging your wife." "Good."" "You know, maybe your wife won't let him." "I'd respect him, at least." "And if he did that." "I'd go up to him, look him in the eye and say:" ""Just come near her again." ". and I'll kill you."" "Chris, wow." "You're telling the wrong guy." "As an officer." "I can't let you threaten people's lives." "If you're serious, I'd be obligated to do something about it." " Really?" " That's right." "Thanks for the beer and the conversation." "Thanks for listening." "Give Ann my best." "If you can." "Have you been waiting long?" "Sorry about last night." "Okay." "You must really be mad at me." "God, I used to love coming out here with you." "I thought I was the shit, a freshman making out with a senior." "You were." "Still are, quiet as it's kept." "Here." " What's this?" " My going-away present." " Going away?" " The insurance policy." "Making me the beneficiary?" "Come on, Ann." "Buy that fishing boat you and Chae always talked about." "No." "I'm leaving tomorrow." " What?" " I'm leaving town tomorrow." "I need to get out of here." "I need to get away from Chris." "I need peace." " Chief Whitlock?" " Yes." "How can I help you?" "You just did." " How are you doing?" " Good." "Take this." "Meet me at my house." "What is it?" "It's a gift to you." "Switzerland." " It's money." " What money?" "That drug money?" "Matt, no." "Oh, my God." "What if they want it back?" "The money stays in the arresting department's custody." "Until the appeals process is over." "That'll take years." "But Tony." "They'll think it's in a safe-deposit box." "When does Chris get home?" "11:30." "Go home." "Pack a bag." "Meet me at my house, 11:00." "You okay?" "See you later." "Ann?" "Oh, hey." "What are you doing here?" "Barbara's pissed off." "I have to wait her out." "Wait, listen." "Did you see anybody come in here?" " No." " You sure?" " Go to the Scuttlebutt." " They cut me off, thanks to you." "Tell them I said everything's okay." " Barbara will look for me there." " She won't." " Yes, she will!" "I need my cigs!" " I'll send them to you." "Tell Engine Two to lay it out... and start attacking it from the back!" "Go, go!" "Mathias, you all right?" "I know it's hard to take." "I'll get you some coffee." " Was it an accident?" " I don't know." "Maybe." "These propane tanks don't blow for no reason, you know?" "Man, this place was an inferno." "Those poor folks didn't stand a chance." "You okay, Chief?" "Chief." "Why are you here?" "I'm a homicide detective and there are two dead bodies." " What happened?" " They think the propane tank blew." " You know who they are?" " It's definitely "were"." "Right, Chae." "Hey, Mathias, check it out." "Definitely arson." "No, it's definitely arson." "Definitely." "I think I should stay close to the scene." "Possibly a double homicide, which means we'll take over." "Chief?" "Listen..." "Judy Anderson's mom is visiting from Orlando." "She saw somebody sneaking around this place." " We should tell Alex." " Good idea." "I'll tell her." "You go back to the office." "Can I run my investigation out of your place?" "I need background on the vics, people they knew." " Be your tour guide?" " You cool with that?" "No problem." " Sure?" " No problem at all." "Let's ride back and you fill me in on the Harrisons." "Matt, I just wanted to say I'm sorry about the timing." "What do you mean?" "With the papers, then this today." "The divorce papers?" "I should have called." "That would have been nice." "I know." "It has been eight months." "Don't we need some closure?" "I don't want to talk about it." "Thanks for opening up." "So, the Harrisons, either of them, screwing around on the side?" "I don't know." "Is anyone happily married these days?" "These have been gone through." "He was supposed to get off at 11:30." "Right." "Mr. Harrison." "So you don't know if Mr. Harrison came to work or not." "Did you know she was a dental hygienist for a Dr. Shider?" "Really?" "No." " Want to come to see him?" " Okay." "Okay, thanks." "So, she quit yesterday." "Kind of." "Ann-Merai had terminal cancer." "Really?" "I think she wanted to keep it quiet." "Anything else you can tell us?" "I think she was having an affair." "Did she actually tell you that?" "Well, we don't really talk a lot." "Just what's happening on our stories, stuff like that." "I just got the feeling." "Like sometimes she'd be on the phone... and talk real quiet and stuff." "Whisper?" "Did you ever see him?" "Or did she tell you who he was?" "No." "But he was classy." "A week ago, she got this real big thing of flowers." "From Rosie's." "It was beautiful." "Remember, Bruce?" "But I met her husband once, and he didn't seem like the type." "To send flowers." "Rosie?" "Yeah, Chief Whitlock." "We're trying to find out if flowers were sent." "To an Ann-Merai Harrison at her office last week." "Yeah, Harrison." "Check and see if you sent them." " What hospital?" " Mercy Med." " Chris Harrison." " Her husband." "Thanks a lot, Rosie." "No, that's all." "Thank you, Rosie." "If you'd like to make a call..." "Ready?" "I guess so." "All right." "Thank you for your help." "Thank you." "If you think of anything else, here's my card." "Thanks a lot." "Don't do me like that." "You knew I wasn't finished." "I'm sorry." "I got the name of Ann-Merai's doctor." "I want to learn more about her cancer." "You can drop me off at the station." "You don't like being around me, do you?" "No." "There's just no reason for us both... to waste time at the doctor's office." "Why not?" "What do you have to do?" "I do have ajob." "I am Chief of Police." "Of a four-person department." "That's our problem." "You think yourjob is more important than mine." "I never said that." "Not directly, but in indirect ways you said it." "You wanted us to go to Miami to be closer to your importantjob." "You said my commute was too long." " I had no problem with that." " So I was hearing things?" "Whatever." "Is that why you won't go with me?" "Your date's paging you?" "One of my officers just checked in." "It's a tracking device." "That tells you?" "GPS." "We're all tied into it." "The Mayor's brother sells them, so he spent half the budget on them." "If we were moving, you could see it track." "Sorry." "If we were moving, it would track us." "Let's drive to the doctor's office, so I can see it work." " Okay." " Okay." "I'm going to the bathroom." "I'll meet you in there." " May I help you?" " Dr. Donovan's office." " She's on the 3rd floor." " Thank you, Ramona." "Ann Harrison didn't have cancer." "Are you sure?" "Excluding her time in Atlanta," "Ann-Merai's been my patient since junior high." "If she'd had cancer, I'd have known." "I don't get it." "Maybe she saw another doctor." "She was here for her yearly... when she got back to town two months ago." "She was as healthy as the proverbial horse." "I'm looking it over here, and." "Who told you she had cancer?" "Excuse me." "So, uh." "Can I help you?" "I'm looking for Dr. Frieland." "You're looking at him." "You're Dr. Frieland?" "Yes, I am." "Hold on, Bob." "Some guy..." "This is your office?" "It has been for ten years, yes." "I'll call you back." "Do you have a patient named Ann-Merai Harrison?" " I can't tell you that." " No, you can tell me." " Was she your patient?" " You don't understand." "Was she your patient or not?" "I've never had a patient by that name." " You sure?" " Yes, I'm sure." "Very sure." "I'd know." "Okay." "I'm sorry." "Is that your pen?" " Pen?" "Yes." " You use it much?" " No, not much." " You mind if I take it?" "No, no, you can have it." "Take the pen." "It's yours." "Take it." "It's yours." "Right." "No, I know that part." "Hang on one sec." "Did you get a check-up?" "No, just bad coffee." "Tell them to stop lagging." "We need those phone records now." "All right." "Thanks." "You all right?" " Yeah." " We all good?" "Fantastic." "How's this, ma'am?" "You fixed his nose already?" "Wonderful." "Hey, Chief." "How you doing, Judy?" "Fine, thanks, considering..." "Alex, we have an eyewitness." "Mrs. Anderson, this is Detective Diaz-Whitlock." "Well, just." "We're on top of it." "I told them how Judy's mom saw someone sneaking around." "He's over there sketching it out for us." "She saw a guy the night of the fire." "Is that her over there?" "Okay." " Good job, T." " Chief, check this out." "The prowler from the Harrisons' house last night." "Ring any bells?" "Hi, Tony." "No." "I mean, no." "He looked like him." " Like who?" " Him." " Like me?" " Yeah, you." "Mom, he's the Chief of Police." "So he was black?" "Yeah, he was black." "Wait a minute." "Wait." "Maybe him." "Maybe him." "Thank you so much." "You've been very helpful." "Anyway..." " I am so sorry." " I understand." "Mother was raised in a different time." "Don't worry about it." "We're on top of it, okay?" "I need to talk to you, T." "I've never been so embarrassed." "Please." "You have to stop." "I want you to take this to Miami for me, okay?" "Give it to a Detective Gissen." "Gissen, right." "I'll give you his phone number." "Tell him I need prints on it ASAP." " Is it for this thing?" " Yeah." "Excuse me, Chief." "An Agent Stark from the DEA is on line 1 for you." " Who?" " Agent Stark." "It's about the Scarcetti case." "Hang on." " Chief Whitlock." " Agent Stark, DEA." "How you doing?" " Busy." " You and me both, pal." "I understand you have the evidence in the Scarcetti case." "Great." "That makes you my new best friend." "I'm sending two agents down to pick up that cash." "We think it was used in a sting operation with Paulo Esteban." "If the serial numbers match, we tie Esteban to Scarcetti." "This is a top priority." "With this evidence we kill two birds with one stone." "Nail Esteban and Scarcetti." "Why don't I call you tomorrow and..." "This has to be done the day before yesterday." "We got a court date." "The evidence stays here until the appeals process..." "Don't give me a lecture on the rules of evidence." "We need to check the serial numbers... and that's what we'll do." "When I hang up in 10 seconds, you type up a chain of evidence receipt." "One of my men will be happy to sign it for you." " And Chief?" " Yeah?" "It's been 10 seconds." "Chief, you okay?" "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." "Just, uh." "Tell Gissen I need those prints really quick." "Really quick." "Well, maybe Alex..." "Don't give them to Alex." "Do what I said." " I just thought..." " Just do it!" "Okay." "I'm sorry." "I'm very sorry." "Just go there and call me as soon as they're done, okay, T?" "You got it." "No, I was on hold." "When should I call back?" "Okay, thanks." "How long can it take to fax a few sheets of phone records?" "I'll call again." " Alex, I think we got something." " What?" "Look at the last entry in the checkbook." " Is this the only entry you found?" " So far." "What's going on?" "They got a life insurance policy and we got a motive." "Problem is, there must be tons of these life insurance companies." "Right." " You got any pull at the bank?" " To get an address?" "Please." "They can't run them for at least another half hour." "Call me when you get something." "T?" "Shit." "You should see the rack on this chick that walked by." "Just call me, T." " Are those my phone records?" " No, it's for me." "Baste, where's my fax?" " She said she sent it." " Who's "she"?" " Miss White." " Who's that?" "She's the supervisor over there." "Call her, because they're not here." "Alex, I just talked to her." "Detective." "She assured me she sent them." "Get her on the line and have her wait until we see the fax." "Sure, boss." "Be happy to." "Miss White." "This is Detective Baste." "We spoke about the Harrison phone record." "I haven't received it." "I'm staring at the fax machine, it's not there." "If it doesn't start in 30 seconds, I'll go to your superior." "Do I need to be more clear than that?" " Can I use your computer?" " A couple minutes." "They e-mailed me a bunch of warrants." "60 seconds." "I am not raising my voice!" "You have writer's block." "Just working on my report." "On what?" "Somebodyjaywalking?" "Yeah, jaywalking." "Or urinating on the sidewalk." "Or throwing spitballs." "It's a small office, but it's my office." "The phone records are coming in!" "Shit." "It's out of paper." "You're kidding me." "Can we get some paper?" "Paper, folks!" "Hey, don't all move at once!" "Does anybody in Banyan Key have any paper?" "It's 8½ by 11, little rectangles of white." "Where do I hit start?" "There it goes." "We have a little problem with this machine." "It's fine." "Great." "Thank you." "Just let me get over here." "There we go." "Start." "There we go." "I can't read this." " Have her re-fax it." " It's just the toner." "It's okay, I can read it." "It's okay." " Fax it again." " It's okay." "That says Barry Thomas, a friend of Chris's." "From high school." "That one is Will Blount." " You guys okay?" " It's okay." "This one is Frank Rose." "No, no." "All the boxes go to Miami." "The last call they made was to American Airlines at 8 p.m." "Got a surprise for you." "They were dead when someone turned them into s'mores." "Both of them?" "No sign of smoke in their lungs." "If they'd been alive, their lungs'd look like mine." "Here are the cell phone records." " Cell phone?" " They're in a different database." "305-555-0199?" " When'd grandma see that man?" " After Leno." "What time is Leno over?" "12:00?" "12:30?" "Hello?" "This may be him." "How many calls do you get after midnight?" "Must be a bad connection." "All right. 555-0199." "Let me see if I can find the number for you." "And the winner is..." "This Nextel subscriber is outside the service area." "Please try again later." "No, I don't have it." "Whoever it is works for the town of Banyan Key." "How do we find out who this is?" "All right." "Just ask." "Is there anybody even in Banyan Key?" "I'll talk to you later." "Hey, Alex?" "I kind of drifted off." "What'd you say that number was?" "555-0199." "0199?" "It's not 1099?" "It's 0199." "That's weird." "That's my cell phone number." " Yours?" " Yeah." "Aren't you county?" "I work part-time as a paramedic, football games, school stuff." "You called them last night?" "I don't know." "Did I?" "Oh, Jesus, I did call them last night." "I called him to see if he wanted to have a drink with me." "You're friends with him." "I wouldn't say that." "He's my bottom-of-the-list guy... when I want someone to drink with." "I would have mentioned it earlier, but I totally forgot." "You should have mentioned it at the scene." "Sorry." "I don't remember much about last night." "I had a fight with Barbara." "I was in no good shape." "Check with the bar." "I closed the place." "Staggered home, passed out in bed next to my wife." "I need a statement." "I'll give you a statement." "What's the matter with you?" "You're like the love child of Barney Fife and Joe Friday." "All right, statement." " What was that about?" " I was sleeping with her." "Jesus." "So you." "No." "Their coming back here was a plan." "They planned the whole thing." "What plan?" "I gave her the Scarcetti money." "God!" "Would you have given it to me if I'd slept with you?" " Any trace of the money?" " None." "I thought I had trouble with women." "You should tell her." "Who?" "Alex?" "Are you crazy?" "I'm not telling Alex." "I had motive." "I'm beneficiary on Ann-Merai's insurance policy." "We were having an affair." "Opportunity." "An eyewitness saw me... outside their house the night it blew up." "You wanna hear some more?" " Alibi?" " Home, by myself." "That good." "At least you changed your cell number." "Even if Alex wanted to believe me, there's so much evidence she'd have to turn me in." "You're right." "And that'd kill any chance of your getting back together." "What?" "Like if she said, "Let's call the divorce off."" "What are you talking about?" "I'm looking at murder charges." "I'm just saying, she's a peach." "What were you thinking?" "Can I do anything?" "Obstruction ofjustice isn't enough?" "I'm on a roll." "Chief Whitlock." "They matched the prints." "The guy's name is Paul Cabot." "They got his prints from a criminal database." "Got an address?" "Yeah, 36 Reef Road, up in Kendall." "Come on." "Hurry up." " Want a beer?" " No, I'm okay." "What tangled webs we weave." "What you got?" "Your doctor worked in my line of work." "Son of a gun." "Let's go." " I'll get the beer." " Chae, come on." "A beer in the hand is worth two in the fridge." "What are you doing?" "Bottom of the ninth, down by a lot of runs." "I got about." "10 grand in the bank." "Get you to Costa Rica to scout boats." "You think I'm done, huh?" "I appreciate the offer, but I'm not running." "The idea was I'd drive you." "You can drive me." "Drive me back to the station." "All right." "I'm on with the insurance company." "That policy number corresponds to a." "$1 million life insurance policy for an Ann-Merai Harrison." "Any messages for me?" "Who's the beneficiary?" "Just a moment." "Let's see." "It looks like the beneficiary is listed as." "Chris Harrison, her husband." "Thank you." "You've been very helpful." "I'm sorry I couldn't be more..." "Wait a minute." "There's a note." "The policyholder asked to change the beneficiary last week." "She did?" "It hasn't made it into the system yet." "What does that mean?" "It's in the mail?" "Or in our processing center... waiting to be processed." "Can you connect me?" "They're still at lunch." " Should call back in a half hour?" " Why not?" "Thank you." "This is Bill." " Hey, Bill." " What have you been up to?" "You have no idea." "Let me ask you a favor." "I have a credit card statement on a Paul Cabot." "Please, find the last place he used his credit card." "Boss, I got something for you." " Paul Cabot." " Can you hold?" "I found this in one of the Harrisons' cars." "A bank card receipt to a gas station used by a Paul Cabot." "Nice." "Check the phone records." "Paul Cabot." "Does anybody know or ever heard of a Paul Cabot?" "Come on, people!" "Wake up!" "Yes?" "No?" "No." "Paul Cabot?" "Call the bank." "See what they got." "No records of calls to or from a Paul Cabot." "Matt?" "Matt?" " Yeah, Bill." " Got something." "If he took a piss and paid for it, I want to know." "He has a reservation at the Costa Coral Hotel." "He has it now?" "Yeah." "He checked in yesterday." " Know where it is?" " Yeah." "Atlantic Avenue." "You're a lifesaver." "Chief Whitlock?" "Agent White." "This is Agent Fetzer." "We're here for the Scarcetti money." "Agent Stark said to send it to his office." "My guy left five minutes ago." " He told you we'd pick it up." " No." "He said send it to his office." "I sent it." "He'll tell you." "I talked to him." " Let me talk to him." " He wants to talk to you." "What is your problem?" "I told you to get that money ready." "You said..." "Are you a parrot, telling me what I said?" "I know what I said." "I'm not a parrot." "I know what you said." "Where the hell is the money?" "If you shut up for 5 minutes, I'll tell you where the money is." "I sent the money to you." "My guyjust left." "He'll be there in an hour." "If you have a problem with that after I hang up in 10 seconds." "Call your IRS pals and have them audit me." "You little bastard..." " Agent Stark." "Agent Stark." " What?" "I meant 5 seconds." " Damn it, Chief!" " I can't hear you." "You're breaking up!" "Can you hear me?" "Sorry about your phone." "Can you hear me now?" "Costa Coral Hotel, good afternoon." "I just checked in." "I'm trying to access my voice mail." " I see you're not in your room." " I'm on my cell." "That's no problem." " Can you help?" " Sure." "What's your room number?" "Actually, I don't remember." " What's your name?" " Paul Cabot." "Please hold." " You're in room 715." " 715?" "Okay, thank you." "To access voice mail..." "You got a Paul Cabot at a Costa Coral Hotel in Miami on Atlantic." "What's up?" "You're late." " These people work slow." " You get them?" "You got a TV?" "Watch pay-per-view." "Forget pay-per-view." "You got your wife under control?" "Is she cool?" " She's not gonna..." " She won't talk." "She's not going nowhere." "She's got too much to lose." "All right." "Damn, man." " You take a bad picture." " Get over here." " We have to get out of town." " Right." "Excuse me." "How you doing?" "I left my key in my room, like a knucklehead." "715." "It's Cabot." "Paul Cabot, 715." "Happens all the time, Mr. Cabot." "Thank you." "Paul?" "Paul Cabot, it's the police." "There's somebody up there!" "Oh, my God!" "Where?" "See you, Mr. Cabot." " Is a Paul Cabot registered here?" " Cabot?" "Yeah." "A man was pushed off the 7th floor!" " How do you know he was pushed?" " I don't, but there was another man." "Calm down." "Relax." "That's the guy!" "That's Cabot!" "I'll take four!" "You go upstairs!" "Stop!" "Mathias?" "I just arrived." " Did he come down?" " Nobody passed me." " Meet you in the lobby." " Okay." "I'll go shut down the elevators." "It's him." "It's him!" "Police officer!" "Upstairs!" "I'll cover the back!" " You got the money?" " Yeah." " Great!" "Where'd you stash it?" " Behind the seat." "Flight number 601, nonstop to San Jose." "I'm not going to Costa Rica." "Get off the phone." "I have to go." "I'll pack some things, meet you at the airport." " Your new girl?" " No." "Weren't we going to meet in the lobby?" "Yeah." "I just had to come get my cell and make a call." "To the office." "Check on a lead." " Let's go back in." " My boys are on it." "Okay." "Why don't we go have a talk?" "Sure." "Okay." "You got something you want to tell me?" "Or need to tell me?" "What do you mean?" "I mean, something that I ought to know, but." "You might not want to say." "Congratulations on making detective." "I'm proud of you." "I never said it, but I am." "I know." "You don't have to say it." "Anyway, that's not what I meant." "How'd you get to the hotel so fast?" "I heard it on the radio." "So there's nothing else you want to say?" "I'll sign the divorce papers." " I'm not talking about that." " I'll get to it." " That's cool." " I'll sign them." "It's cool." "We're in no hurry." "Are we?" "I'm not." "Know what this place reminds me of?" "When we first started going out." "We'd talk on the phone for hours." "And you had this thing." "You'd say, "Oh, I guess that's everything"." "Then you'd hang up." "And then you'd call right back." "That's right." "What would you say?" "That I love you." "Very much." "I liked that." "Come here." "Something's in your hair." "Hey, Chief." "These are from Agent Stark." "He sounded kind of pissed." "See you tomorrow." "Detective?" "The clerk's on his way from the hospital." "Detective?" "See if the insurance company found out who the beneficiary is." "You got it." " City Hall." " Accounting, please." "Let me get that number for you." "Oh, I'm sorry." "They've gone home for the day." "Of course they have." "Thank you." "Alex, did Cabot make any phone calls from his hotel?" "We're waiting on them." "Chief, the hotel called and left a message." "The clerk left and should be here any minute." "Great." "Whitlock." "Hello?" " Matt, I'm so sorry." " Ann?" "I'm so sorry." "I'm so sorry." "It was never supposed." "This is a surprise." "I know." "There's so much I have to tell you." "I, I need to." "A lot of people are worried about you." "We all had the funny idea you were dead." "I'm sorry, Matt." "I'm so sorry." " I'm so sorry." " Where's Chris?" "God, I've lied to you so much." "He made me do this." "He and his friend Paul found out about that Scarcetti thing." "They stole bodies from the morgue." "And you switched the dental records." "I had to." "I had to." "They said they'd kill me." " Paul was a criminal, Matt." " Was?" "Yes, he was killed today." "They made me do this." "Now it looks like you and I faked my death." "To collect on the insurance." "So what do you want me to do?" "I can't face them, to answer questions about this." "I have to get out of town, but I don't know where to go, and." "I need money." "So where's Chris?" "You're right." "I should have come to you earlier." "He's there, isn't he?" "Yes." "I'd have called earlier, but I knew you'd think it was another trick." "And I don't blame you." "See, he beat me up, and." " Matt?" " Yeah." "He beat me up." "Paul had the money, and..." "I have the money." "Oh, Matt." "I don't want to." "Involve you in any more of this." "Where are you?" "I'm at the old boat." "I'll meet you there." "Neil, Detective Diaz-Whitlock." " Ouch." "How are you?" " I'm okay." "You up for answering a few questions?" "You need anything else?" "This way." "Take a seat to your left." "Here you go." " Where's Chief Whitlock?" " Bathroom, maybe." "Alex, insurance company, line 2." "Detective Diaz-Whitlock." "I have your beneficiary." "A Mathias Lee Whitlock." "Thank you." "Matt." "Matt." "Agent Stark, DEA." "I'm looking for Chief Whitlock." " How much was it?" " $485,000." "Was it to be picked up or dropped off?" "He said he was sending it to my office." " But nobody showed." " Miscommunication." "That's a.38, Chris." "Only six shots." "Give me the gun." "Give me the gun!" "He's gone." "You all right?" "Give me the gun." "Wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "Ann." "You said he beat you up." "It was self-defense." "No jury will convict you." "Just put the gun down." "You think Chris did this to my face?" "I think you should put your gun on the floor." "What?" "Put it down." "I didn't think I could do this, but I will." "You set this up." "Put your gun on the floor." "Are you sure?" "Don't do this, Ann." "Where's the money?" "Ah, Jesus." "So you." "We didn't mean anything to each other?" "It's not important." "So it was all just an act?" " Where's the money?" " Tell me you didn't mean any of it." " Tell me you didn't mean any..." " Some of it!" "Don't try to confuse me!" "I have no choice!" "You do." "You don't have to do this." "I've known you all your life." "You're no criminal." "Matt, stop!" "What?" "Okay." "Okay, high school sweetheart." "You think I'm playing?" "I'm not playing, Matt." "Damn!" " I was aiming for your arm." " Well, you missed!" "Where is it?" " By the door!" " Show me!" "All right!" "All right!" "Just calm down." "Just calm down, Ann." "Don't shoot me, okay?" "I'm going to..." "Show me!" " Here it is." " Put it down!" " Don't shoot me!" " I'm so sorry." "I got you the money." "I'm trying to save your life!" "It wasn't all an act, baby." "It wasn't!" "But life ain't shit when you're broke!" " Shit!" " Wait, wait!" " Forgive me, baby!" " Wait, no!" "Anyone else up here?" "No." "How'd you find me?" "You hit?" "No, I'm okay." "I'm all right." "It's Alex." "Get me an ambulance and a med examiner." "No, I'm fine." "I'm at the end of Runyon Road, on the dock." "Hurry." "Did you kill Paul Cabot?" "No, he..." "It was self-defense." "I was trying to get the money back." "You were just going to hand the money back." "That's what I was trying to do." "Then what's that over there?" " What you got?" " Chris and Ann Harrison's bodies." "The real ones." "They worked for Cabot." "The Chief learned they were here." "And took care of business." "Right?" "Right." "Let's move." " Good job." " Thank you." "Thank you very much." "The guy never showed up, Whitlock." "Agent Stark." "I don't care if you're hurt or not." "I want that evidence money, or you'll be looking at..." "Where the hell is Southeast 63rd Street in Miami?" " 53rd Street, Chae." " No." "I told you 53rd Street, not 63rd." " You did not." " I did." "No, you said." ""Those DEA assholes are at 8400 Southeast 63rd Street."" "I did not." "I'm very sorry, Agent Stark." "What I said was, those DEA assholes." "Are at 8400 Southeast 53rd, Chae. 53rd Street." "I said..." "Never mind." "Just give him the money." "You don't have to count it." "It's all there." " Take care." " Come on." "Assholes." " It is all there, isn't it?" " Most of it." "It's all there." "Jesus." " That was pretty good, huh?" " It was a little over the top." " Over the top?" "Which part?" " Your part." "My part?" "It's you who came in screaming." "What happened to you?" "Never leave your wife is what happened to me." "I'd take the bullet." "Be careful." "It's a classic." "That grille work came from France." "How are you feeling?" "Excuse us." "Did you love her?" "No." "Why would you do this then?" "Because... because I'm stupid." "Because." "I thought I was doing the right thing, helping her." "But that's no excuse." "Alex, sometimes people, you know." "Do stupid things." "Especially when they're still in love." "Thank you." "Chae?" "Hello." "How you doing?" "Chae called all worked up." "I'm okay." " Want to sit down?" " Yeah." " How you doing?" " Good." " I asked already?" " Yes." "I said I was good." " You want a beer?" " Yes." "I don't have any left." "Share mine." "What brings you down here?" "I needed to move the rest of my stuff." "Okay." "That's cool, I guess." " Your house is a mess." " Hey, Matt!" " This came for you at the station." " Hi, Chae." "You opened my mail?" "Why do you do that?" "Just read it." "You have to fill out the form." ""To claim amount payable to the beneficiary... in the sum of $1 million?"" " What?" " We're rich." "We're rich." "We're rich." "One million dollars?" "Easy, Chae." "He can't take that money." " What?" " I can't?" " Why not?" " You can't." " Conflict of interest." " Bullshit." "That is a conflict." " He's the beneficiary." " I am the beneficiary." " And one of the arresting officers." " Who cares?" " I was an arresting officer." " So?" " You can get in much trouble." " A lot." "It's the chance of a lifetime!" " Don't be nuts!" " It is a million." "As his wife, I'm telling you, he's not taking that money." " As my wife?" " As your wife." "Matt, come on." "Don't fall for that." "What do you mean?" "As your wife." "You said you came to move your stuff." "Move it back in." "This is great." "Congratulations." " Are you serious?" " Yeah." "You going to behave?" "I'm afraid to leave you by yourself." "You won the sweepstakes." "Matt, do this later." "It's a million bucks." "Come on." "Let's not lose focus." "The honeymoon fund, the nursery wing..." "Matt, this is the golden pot at the end of the storm thing!" "Matt!" "Decide before you go in, huh?" "Matt, I'll be sitting right here when you're finished!" "I can wait you out three minutes." "I'm a patient man, Matt!" "Come on, Matt!"
