Come on in, Mr Baker.
As you can see,|I've become quite a fan of yours.
I'm flattered.
Is that why you've asked me to|come down to death row, Mr Strauss?
- To tell me what a fan you are?|- I'd like you to print something.
After all,
you're so good at that.
I'd like you to print
that I said I loved my wife.
- You loved your wife.|- And that I'll love her...
forever.
Of course. Forever. All right.
Thank you, Mr Baker.
Aren't you afraid of dying?
To die is different|from what anyone supposes.
- And luckier.|- That a line from your opera?
It's Walt Whitman.
I can't take credit|for everything, Mr Baker.
You really believe|that you're lucky to die?
What I believe, Mr Baker,
is that this is all far from over.
But you still killed her.|Didn't you, Mr Strauss?
OK, Strauss, let's go.
No! Stop him! Stop him!
Stop him!
These are for you!
You're all right, child.|I'm not going to hurt you.
Here we go. Keep it going!|Keep it going! There!
We found her two nights ago|trying to climb over the gates.
Since then she hasn't|spoken a single word.
She won't eat. And when she does|sleep, she has violent nightmares.
- Call the police.|- They've already been here, Father.
They want to take her|to County Hospital.
Last night Sister Constance -|she is in the next room -
she heard the woman call|this word out in her sleep.
- "Die-sher"?|- "Dish-er".
- Sounds like nothing to me.|- Father...
The woman belongs downtown!
Father, every night before bed,|she blocks her door with a chair,
and if you had only heard|this woman scream!
- I don't have to hear her scream.|- I will not abandon her, Father.
She's not spending|another night here and that's final.
But, I see no reason
why we can't have someone look for|her family in the meantime.
But we don't have the money|to hire anybody.
The man I'm thinking of|would do it for nothing.
He grew up here. He was a policeman.
He worked in missing persons|for some time.
How's that for a name you can trust?
Pete? It's Mike.|Don't run the ad. I found Carlisle.
I'm on my way to him right now.
- You're on the wrong side!|- Thanks, pal!
If your wife's cousin calls,
just don't take what she says|too seriously.
Yeah, I took her out.
We went and had some lunch|and we kind of...
We went back to her place and...
No, we're not going out again.
Tell your wife there's nothing|wrong with her cousin,
it's just she...|I don't want to...
I'm not looking for Miss Right.|I'm looking for Miss Right Now.
Thank you.
- Cozy Carlisle?|- Try the freezer.
Thank you.
F*** you. I'm on a break.
Mr Carlisle,|I've been retained by a law firm
to find you and tell you that|Myron Spargo died last month.
- Who the f***'s Myron Spargo?|- He was a patient of yours.
I had a lot of patients.|Now, beat it.
This one left you $1 1,000.
- Myron!|- Yeah, Myron.
- Myron T Spargo.|- Plumbing contractor.
Lived in San Marino|with his wife, Karen or Sharon.
Karen.|She must be very Ionely right now.
Jesus! 1 1,000,|that's a lot of grateful.
- You want a cigarette?|- What? No. I don't smoke.
You've looked at this pack|three times in the last minute.
- What?|- You use that pen like a cigarette.
You helped Myron Spargo quit smoking?
No. Myron was impotent. Imagine that.
A man lays pipe for a living,|can't get it up at home.
He had some hard-on|when he made out his will.
Hey, thumb-dick,|I was a damn good shrink.
In 16 years I worked with a|lot of people through a lot of sh*t.
OK, I slept with a patient or two.
- I still cared about them.|- OK.
I loved being a doctor.
I used to not charge|half my patients.
Then the f***ing State comes along,|they send some b*tch undercover,
and I'm f***ed.
It ain't fair, is it?
Why don't you call Opperman-Crowe?
Set up an appointment,|sign the paperwork,
they'll cut you a cheque|for the 8,800 there.
Excuse me.|What happened to the 1 1,000?
Well, 1 1 less my commission.
That is, unless you got a problem|with that, Sigmund.
Could I use your phone?
- Help yourself.|- Thanks.
- Mr Church?|- Yeah?
Someone's either a smoker or a|nonsmoker, there's no in-between.
The trick is to find out|which one you are and be that.
- Well, I'm trying to quit.|- Don't tell me you're trying.
People who say that are pussies|who cannot commit.
Find out which one you are.|Be that. That's it.
If you're a nonsmoker, you'll know.
Thank you. Nice place you got here.
F***in' fruitcake.
Somewhere someone is very worried|about this woman.
All right. I'll give her a lift|to County Hospital.
That's really all I got time to do|right now.
Maybe on the way I'll stop and have a|buddy of mine at the paper
take her picture,|run it in the morning edition.
- How's that sound?|- That sounds wonderful. Thank you.
That sounds wonderful. All right.
So only one glove, one ring...
I was checking the labels to get a|line on where she bought them.
And how did the labels|smell, Mr Church?
Expensive.
Perfume. I mean...
Mike Church.
This is a Claddagh ring,|Irish wedding band.
If you wear it with the crown up,|it means you're taken.
Crown down, you're not.|How were you wearing it?
The policeman had her take it off|so he could see it.
She only had the one on|when we found her.
I'll help her get ready.
If you see anything|you recognise, holler.
I know you can't holler per se,
so maybe just you give|a wave or something.
It sure is nice to be with someone
you don't feel you have|to yak to all the time.
Smile, sweetheart. That's a girl!
You're really just going to|dump her off at County?
- Why don't you take her home?|- She's not a stray dog, Pete.
Besides, you never|bring women back to your place.
They might mess with your stuff.|"Oh, my stuff! "
At least you won't forget her name.|She's already forgotten it for you.
Count to 30, take her out|of the fixer, put her in the water.
I'll be writing the caption.|Let's start.
- Thank you so much.|- You're in good hands, sweetheart.
Mikey's a pro. He can find anything.
Same thing happened to me once.|Two years ago.
This mailman in Lawndale freaked out,|chopped up his family with a trimmer.
Then either cos he heard a voice|or maybe he felt bad,
- He cut off his own arms.|- Pete.
- Had to dial 91 1 with his nose.|- Pete!
- What?|- I know there's a point to this.
It's coming! I was the first shooter|to show up at the scene.
I take one look, I pass out.|I passed out cold.
I come to, I had no idea who I was.|I didn't even know my own family.
It was the scariest thing|that ever happened to me.
Then one morning I wake up
and my little girl is|standing beside the bed.
And she looks at me and says,|"I love you."
I just looked at her|and in about two seconds
my whole life came back to me.
So, you hang in there, sweetheart.
Sooner or later, it'll all come back.|Scout's honour.
I got to get her to the hospital.
I got this thing to write.
- Thank you.|- Sure.
My name and number|are going to be in the paper,
so when somebody sees your picture,|I'll come get you.
