"Congratulations Terry  Suzanne" "November 10, 1969" ""Do you believe in magic" by The Lovin' Spoonful." "Check, check..." "check one, check two, check three..." "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." "You need a drink ?" "You hungry ?" " I can get it." " You sure, Brian ?" "Ladies and gentlemen." "Let's uh... let's just get this over with so we can eat, huh ?" "Mr.  Mrs. Terry Lucas !" "Oh, thanks a bunch for coming everyone and uh" " Ma, Dad ?" "Thanks for the new Mustang !" "Everybody, you got five minutes before we charge you for your drinks, so get going !" "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 !" "I would've brought it for tonight but I didn't wanna embarrass her..." "When Suzanne and I were little girls we wrote all... oh." "Don't tell me that guy's your boyfriend ?" "Fiance, actually." "That guy ?" "With you ?" "Now that's not right." "I'm not sure you should be smoking marihuana." "This is a wedding." "Just trying to get in the spirit." "This is a new look." "Yeah, yeah." "Slept like crap." "Who we calling on here ?" "Benny Warren Cousins." "We got an arrest warrant for him from 1969." "What's the story ?" "Well, a local Fishtown girl was found strangled in his apartment." "Eleanor McCormick." "What'd they get from their first time around ?" "There wasn't a first time." "Warren hightailed it to Canada the night of the murder." "Mounties couldn't help ?" "They couldn't find him." "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." "Busy-body neighbor recognized him." "Called it in." "Let's go." "Philadelphia PD for Warren Cousins." "I'm Warren." "Warren Cousins, you're under arrest for the 1969 murder of Eleanor McCormick." "Ellie's dead ?" "Cold Case Season 2 Episode 14" "Revolution" "Witnesses saw Warren hassling Ellie at her best friend's wedding." "He was the singer." "Trying to get a piece ?" "Only Ellie's engaged, shuts him down." "A few weeks later she got the life choked out of her in his place." "Autopsy shows bruises on her knees and neck." " Strangled." " By someone with dirty hands." "Unidentified residue across her throat." "Prints come with that ?" "It's only partial." "No help." "Let's have Franny take a look at the autopsy." "Maybe modern medicine tells us more." "Yeah, maybe lab can ID the dirt." "Found a relative of your girl." "Brother Brian still lives at the old address." "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 ?" "I should go home and start over again." "There's no reason." "I haven't spoken to Ellie in 36 years." "That's 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 that the cops were looking for you ?" "I broke off all contacts 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 doing ?" "Warren says Ellie was going to Canada, too." "Just like Bonnie and Clyde, huh ?" "Running from the law ?" "That was the plan." "But she never showed up." "Couple of hints 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." "There's no suitcase in the crime report." "So, how's the story really go ?" "A screw-up like you sets his sight on a pretty girl, can't close the deal so she gets punished ?" "You got it all wrong." "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 want to embarrass her." "See, she wrote pages and pages about how she was moving out to Hollywood and becoming Mrs. Elvis Presley." "Hey, 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." ""Lay lady lay" by Bob Dylan." "I don't know why I came out here." "I don't even know you." "Maybe that's why." "Stupid, right ?" "Speech ?" "Nah." "I saw your brother in there." "See his girlfriend ditch him ?" "Wish I knew what to do for him." "How about just talking to him ?" "Bet that would mean something." "You going to Vietnam ?" "No, it's not a cause I'd give my life for." "So you're one of those." "What are you ?" "Not sure, lately." "When you said it wasn't right about me and my fiance ?" "What did you mean ?" "Do you know ?" "It's impossible not to look at you." "No." "No, it is." "It's not just you being pretty." "It's how you are." "I really enjoyed your singing." "Really." "I know you have a guy, but I'm a valentine's day baby." "I just say it if I feel it." "We were together 6 weeks after that." "Then I left." "A one conversation at the weeding, and Ellie chucks her marriage plans to take up with you." "Yeah." "I still don't hear how she ends up dead in 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 ?" "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." "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." "You okay ?" "Yeah, yeah." "I couldn't sleep last night." "That's all." " Oh, hold on." "Dad !" " He knew it." " Pat, Brian needs you !" " It's okay, Mom." "Hold on, hold on, I'm here." "I got to admit I'm nervous." ""Time of the season" par The Zombies." "What was it like there, Brian ?" "Muggy." "Mosquitoes there are like freaking crows." "How about the war part ?" "Ellie !" "Cause they're saying we're losing and not prepared." " Is it true ?" " Ellie, your brother wants to brag, he'll do it to me over beer." " I just want to hear about it." " Eleanor... it's starting." "The birthdates of today's draft lottery are as followed:" "You never know who to trust over there." "When they did this," "June, 27th it was just a little girl." "She comes up to me like she needs help." "Opens her hand." "May, 20th" "October, 9th" "Oh, man !" "That's Terry." "February, 14th" "November, 6th" "March, 12th" "Give me your fingers crossed for me, babe ?" "Hey, what's the matter with you ?" " My birthday wasn't called yet." " I know, I know." "You're really strange lately, you know that ?" "What was she crying about ?" "Don't know." "The guy she's in love with since she was twelve just got saved." "Made no sense." "Okay, Brian." "It's been most of my life now, but... never settles with you." "Not being somebody's older brother anymore." "What got Ellie so upset that night ?" "Maybe a shock to her what her brother said about Vietnam." " Lab did a rush job for you." " Get anything good ?" "Swab 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 ?" "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." "She was crying cause he got drafted." "Maybe she did love him." "Just getting in ?" "I slept at the bar." "Sure you did." "What ?" "Chris," "I'm a detective." "I met someone." "He from the bar ?" "Yeah, but it's not like how you think though." "It's someone good for a change." "We talk and laugh..." "and connect." "Really." "He taking you out for your birthday tomorrow ?" "Cause..." "If not, I am." "That would be great." "I wouldn't have guessed it, but..." "It's been good having you here." "Part of your story holds up, Warren." "Maybe Ellie did fall for you." "Okay." "Some parts are still shady." "All the stuff was at home and accounted for, no missing suitcase." "I told you what I know." "It was a light blue, white handles." "You know anything about her fiance ?" "Bud Lydecker." "Just saw him at the wedding." "Well, you two got together." "Means, Ellie must have broken up with him, right ?" "Yeah." "Know anything about how he handled it ?" "Getting traded in for... for a long-haired draft dodger." "Probably wasn't thrilled." "Any specific backlash ?" "I didn't think so at the time, but..." "Ellie did come to see me one night... about a week after the wedding ?" ""Touch me" by The Doors." " 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 ?" "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 still don't want to hear it, but I think he wants to talk." "Like you said." "I keep thinking about the thing that you said." "I keep thinking about you." "Yo, yo." "That's twisted, man !" "That was him, El." "You know it was." "Who ?" "No one." "You think Bud threw that brick ?" "Must be who they meant." "Yeah." "Maybe he's the one who should be cooling it in here." "Let me go see at my dad's arrangements." "You're still our number one guy, Warren." "Detective." "Did you find anything else out... about Ellie ?" "She cried when you got drafted." "Take a look around." "Go on." "I'm losing them." "Nice timing." "You want another 36 years ?" "Ah, crap." "Go ahead." "You said it was about Ellie ?" "Wondering how you took it when she threw you over for this Warren guy." "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." ""Build me up buttercup" by The Foundations." "Oh, my God !" "Oh, my God, oh my God, Ellie !" "Suzanne, what are you doing ?" "What are you, an interpreter ?" "Terry !" "Terry !" "Bud, just, just turn around, okay ?" "I got to pull myself up here." "I undid all those buttons ?" "Please, just leave, okay ?" "He'll kill you !" " Don't look at me like that." " Geez, Suzanne !" "I know, El." "I know." "Now look at me." "After what you told me, don't be a hypocrite." "Whoa, what the heck is that about ?" "Nothing." "You, damn it !" "What are you two talking about ?" "Just forget it, Bud." "Fishtown bitches !" "So you break up with Ellie, because her best friend's a cheater ?" "Birds of a feather." "Ellie'd be following suit soon enough." "Besides, I'm with the same girl since I'm twelve." "I was done." "What Suzanne mean, Ellie was a hypocrite ?" "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's the first person I knew close..." "that died." "Hmm, Ellie." "You finally got that singer, huh ?" "Warren Cousins ?" "Yeah." "He's in custody for Ellie's murder." "It's a long time coming." "Suzanne, Warren says that he and Ellie were in love." "True?" "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." "But he mentioned a different reason." " Something about your wedding night?" " Yeah." "Mistakes were made." "What did you mean that night ?" "Calling Ellie a hypocrite ?" "Oh, she told me about meeting Warren, and it was suddenly making her question things." "Oh, like settling with Buddy boy ?" "And ending up with her mother's life." "Same thing crossed my mind walking down the aisle." "So at the reception all I'm thinking is, "What did I just do ?"" "Enter the drummer." "So was Ellie gonna do something to change her plans ?" "Yeah." "Wish my parents never got us that mustang." "He's been in the driveway every single day of this month." "Doesn't have a word to say to me." "Suz, I don't think it's like this with everyone." "Well, his birthday got called, so he's a little upset." "You wanna be like this ?" "Suz, there are men who are different." "You could have a new life with." "And they'd let you be who you are." "That's what they want." "And they would never- they would die first, Suz." "They would never hurt you." "Really ?" "You wanna leave here ?" "Go someplace far out and start over, where Terry can't find us ?" "Cause Warren's going to Canada and we could, too." "Ellie !" "You got a lot to say today, huh ?" "Just uh- catching up, Terry." "Terry !" "Don't you yammer about me when I'm out working !" "Do you understand ?" "And don't bring stupid talk into my house." "She don't need anymore wild ideas than she's already got." "That's what you say !" ""California dreamin'" par The Mamas and The Papas." "Okay, okay !" "That's the conversation." "Oh, by the way." "I know where you go at night, Ellie." "Whore." "He meant Warren's place." "Yeah." "Where Ellie was killed." "Where was Terry the night she died ?" "Out till morning, getting blitzed." "He wouldn't have hurt her." "We grew up together, all of us !" "But he was in a bad way then, right ?" "You said Terry was working on a Mustang ?" "Yeah, '65." "His true love." "Trust me." "It's a chrome bumper." "What kind of person makes a kid run those at 8:00 in the morning ?" "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 punch bag thanks to Ellie." "Girls were always talking." "It was just talk." "But you took them seriously." "What 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 ?" "Oh, heck !" "Okay." "Straight story." "I went over there, once." "To give Ellie what for ?" "No !" "I heard the girl scheming." ""My Silver Sitar / Let's take a trip" by Master Source." "I thought maybe I could change my plans." "Cause all I had to look forward to was going to die in a jungle." "Ellie !" "What are you doing here ?" "I know what you're thinking of me right now." "But I'm just not in my right way." "I'm flipped out." "You know I'm going to Vietnam, right ?" "I know your birthday got called." "And 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." "Can I talk to him ?" "No !" "You can't come in." "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." "Got lucky." "Ended up watching the border in Korea." "How'd you know where to find Ellie ?" "From Bud." "Bud was still keeping tabs after they were over ?" "He was only camped out there night after night." "Thought he gave Ellie the brush-off ?" "Hey, it's not for me to say." "But if that's how it went, why's he stalking her ?" " 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 fiance ?" "And yes, she screwed my head up good." "Well, that's what Ellie did to me." "So maybe over time," "I wanna remember a little different, you know ?" " Pride thing ?" " Now you put in the time." "You're the long-term guy." "Some new act waltzes in, she goes nutty." "Sure." "You can't talk to him about it." "What, a rational conversation with a woman ?" "I never had one." "Well, you tried and two seconds later they got you frothing at the mouth, right ?" "Pretty soon, you got to mess on your hands." "And how'd 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 her place out." "I watched for her one night." " Few nights !" " I heard a week." "So a week !" "Believe me, I wasn't the messed-up one." ""Can't find my way home" by Blind Faith." "I went to the door finally," "walked into World War III." "Ellie ?" "Ellie !" "Damn it!" "let me in there." "Where is he ?" "Show me where he is !" "Bud, keep it down !" "He's bad news Ellie, I'm telling you!" "Look at you !" "You answer me one question, okay ?" "Are you serious ?" "About giving up 19 years in Fishtown, then, run off with this hippie guy, who you've known for six weeks ?" " You don't understand Bud." " Who do this to you ?" "Don't you, don't you remember ?" "that time we went down to Atlantic city, just the four of us, for beers and surf and turf ?" "Remember ?" "And, and I went into the water and you, you came in and pull me out?" "Remember that?" " I do Bud." " Yeah?" " Yeah." " So ?" "So I'm in love with Warren." "Sorry." "Yeah... well, that's screwy." "Adios." "Maybe me and Ellie weren't perfect but I never laid a hand." "But Warren did ?" "He acts like this peace-lovin' guy." "Not behind closed doors." "So, ever hear from that New York guy?" "He doesn't know where I am." "Which is a good thing." "End badly ?" "He got overly invested." "Like..." "Joe Dennison ?" "And Danny Frost ?" " Steve Regis ?" " I was never with Steve" " Liar !" " I wasn't !" "Hey, I wouldn't admit to it, either." "There's someone good now." "Yeah, yeah." "What about that ?" "Well, actually he's a cop." "Do I know him ?" "Yeah." "Not Valens." "I can't believe you're doing this again." "Again ?" " I should've guessed." " Valens isn't like Patrick at all." "Don't talk about him." "I would never do that, Lil." "'cause of how it hurt you." "Don't you know by now you ruin everything you touch ?" "I don't ruin things." "Happy birthday." "Lil !" "I'm leaving for work at seven, you can come by after that and pick up your stuff." " Something wrong ?" " Nope." "Let's do this." "I'm back in the cell in two hours, can't this wait ?" " No, it can't, Warren." " I'm starting to believe you did love Ellie." "I've only been saying that from the start." "Well, it's always the guys who love too hard that end up smacking their girls around." "I never touched her." "There was a witness outside your apartment." "Heard screaming, violence." "It wasn't me." "Ellie got her face bloody all by herself ?" "I promised to her that 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 detoxing." "Not in his right mind." "Heroine." "A lot of guys came back with the 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." "Plan was, after he got clean," "Ellie and I would go north." "Take it easy." "You take care of Brian at home, okay ?" "So... eleven tonight ?" "Warren..." "You okay ?" "I don't know if I can do this." "El¡, we're all packed." "Your stuffs up there ready to go." "I don't think I can leave my brother." "He¡¯s in the clear now." "What if he relapses ?" "No one else here knows." "He'd be all alone." "What about our plan ?" "Look at him, Warren..." "Do you still love me ?" "I love you so much." "Then come with me." "You know you're the first person to ever tell me" "I could be bigger than this place." "It's true." "Thank you for that." "Baby, don't talk like you're not coming." "I just need time." "They're picking us up at eleven at the bus station." "Ellie, I know what I'm asking you." "But it's cause I love you." "And if you come with me..." "I'll love you my whole life." "I know." "And if you don't come, I won't make it hard for you." "I'll let you go." "I'll see you tonight." ""Crimson And Clover" by Tommy James  The Shondells." "I made them wait until midnight." "Then I waited for a long time after that." "Thinking she was gonna knock on my door one day." "She made a choice." "Well, Brian didn't say anything about this." "Not a great look-back." "Probably the worst time of his life." "I was just about to go to sleep." "Graveyard shift ?" "It's a good schedule for me." "I could never lay down at night." "Did you wake up ?" " The night Ellie left." " Left where ?" "The night she packed her suitcase." "Left to go to Canada." "Did you wake up and find her room empty ?" "She wouldn't go anywhere with that guy." "Brian, we know you came back from the war with a drug problem." "A lot of guys struggle with that." "Well, that stuff holds on tight, right ?" "Can't just give it up easy." "So maybe you slipped up." "The night Ellie decides to leave." "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 sitting 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." "How did you get up and go ?" "Ellie, you really gonna leave me ?" "Sorry I didn't say goodbye." "Hurts too much." "So don't." "I love him, Brian." "I want to start a life with him up there." "While I'm down here, alone in the house ?" "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." "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 grand parents, 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." "You're not rotten." "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 all right." "No, I'm stuck !" "Just, just let me, let me..." "I'm stuck !" "I'm stuck !" "I'm stuck !"
