Come on, Daddy!
Let's go play on the beach.

shoes off, okay?
Yeah, it's cold, huh?
It's going to be
a big castle.
Let me know if you

- Hi.
- Hi, how are you?
I've been waiting
here forever.
Oh, Dad.
The train was on time,
you're always early.
- Are you starting already?
- Why? You cant take it?
Come on, lets go home.
You alright, honey?
You know there's things
you can tell me.
Im not as bad at
communication and...
so on and so forth as
you might think.
I've lived in the world.
I'm not pregnant.
No. No, I wasn't
saying that.
Yeah you were.
Are you seeing someone?
Yeah, I am.
Someone with a name?
- Nah, you wouldn't like him.
- How do you know that?
How do you know
I wouldn't like him?
I wish you had someone.
Who says I dont have a honey
stashed away somewhere?
You're my girl.
Yeah, well, I'm not really
sure how to cook it.
You finally got a vegetable and
I dont know if I can eat it.
You alright? You've been
to the doctor, right?
When was the last
time you went?
- I have a physical every year.
- That's right. They make you.
Careful. So how did you
get time off from work?
You dont even know
what I do.
Of course I know
what you do.
Dad. I'm a glorified intern.
I can get off when I want.
I wanted to come home.
I'm glad you did.
Maybe you'll tell me
what's bothering you.
I'm just tired, you know.
I think I got a bug.
Yeah? Want to lay down?
Go upstairs, lay down.
I got your room all
ready for you.
I know you do, Dad.
Ginger-ale. That will settle
your stomach. I'll get some.
I always keep some
ginger-ale on hand.
Honey, honey.
You alright?
- Dad...
- Yeah?
Oh my god I have to
go to a doctor!
Dad, I got to tell you something
I should have told you!

About five nine, five ten.
Thinks he was white from
what he could see through
the eyes of the ski mask.
Yelled out one word, "Craven",
and then he fired.
Jesus Christ.
Then he ran.
Didn't pursue.
You want some water or
coffee or something?
You want something
stronger?
I know somewhere in there
with dust all over it.
You're going to put the first
foot forward, Tommy,
I dont care if its now.
I'll sit with you, okay?
Get out.
Get out of here.
He's not a basket
case. Get out.
- Somebody make some coffee.
- I want a glass of ginger ale.
Get him a ginger ale.
We'll get him, Tommy.
You know how we
react to thing like this.
Officer involved.
"Office involved". We ought to
do that for everybody, right?
"Officer involved". Who the f***
do you think you are?
If you want to get philosophical,
I'll get philosophical.
- Want to get cleaned up?
- No, I'm alright.
I want you to come stay
with Carol and me.
No.
- You can't stay here.
- It's where I live.
- If you won't come with me...
- Just tell everybody to just
get out of here, just finish
what they got to do and go.
This is someone armed
and dangerous...
What do you think I am?
Can everybody get out?
I'd like them to go,
can they just go finish
what they do and go?
Get out.
Get out!
Craven's phone. Hello?
Are you alright?
Dad, are you alright?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Whose my little girl?

an MIT graduate, was killed
in front of her home in
Roslindale by a man thought
to be targeting her father..
Cathy, from what I understand,
police don't have much to
go on right now.
unanswered question when it
comes to this case.
this Roslindale home on the
porch just behind me. Sources
tell me the suspect in this case...
Turn that sh*t off.
- You alright?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
None of your neighbors
saw anything.
And the rain hasn't left
much for forensics.
We need to go through
your cases, Tommy.
You must have an instinct
on this. Something.
Not off the top
of my head, no.
They want to see you
upstairs first, anyway.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
This is off-subject, but this
is my daughters phone.
I need a list of all the contacts,
I got to talk to her friends,
- associates, whatever...
- Yeah yeah.
Janet can do all that.
Blocked incomings too.
Tom.
Sorry for your loss. Anything
you need from me and Mary.
And let us know about
the arrangements.
It'll be in the Globe
and the Herald.
I haven't been down to,
you know, the...
Thank you.
Bill Whitehouse
is running things.
department possesses.
This is a cop thing.
Officer involved.
So, will you take a
leave of absence?
No.
We can't have you on this
investigation. It's a rule.
Well, since it's me that's got
to kill me, for reasons only
I would know about, then
I'd rather get paid for it.
So the rules don't apply.
- He's right, isnt he?
- I think he is, yeah.
I have to make a statement to
the media. Is there anything
you want in there? You
want to stand with me?
- No, thank you.
- They want to see you.
I don't want any part of it.
Alright.
I'm not going to sit in the
Murder Room. No point to it.
There's no physical evidence.
If we got the gun or something.
Jesus, I can't think.
It'll come to me.
It'll come to me but it's not
going to come to me here.
I've got to drive around.
I have to think.
You do what you need to do.
You keep me informed.
I'll punch you in.
I got to go. The Coroner
wants to ID the body.
- Are you up to it?
- Yeah.
I want my case files
brought up.
Nothing this year makes any
sense to me at all.
Tommy.
I'll have them sent
to your house.
Sure.
Cause of death:
injuriesarising from gunshot wounds.
Massive hemorrhage. Heart
seizures due to shock.
Tom, this is very difficult.
You've done this before,
but it's not the same...
Let's get it over with.
Is this your daughter,
Emma Charlotte Craven?
Yes, it is.
Leave her alone.
Let me have
some scissors.
- What was that Tom?
- Scissors. I need some scissors.
Don't cry.
I'm not.
I dont know if
I can make it.
You have to.
Alright.
You're wasting two guys
here at my house, Bill.
If you want them in the
neighborhood, then have
them going door to door.
Someone's trying to kill
you Tom. They're staying.
I got nothing. Nothing.
I don't have enemies.
what I thought enough
to have enemies.
Listen, you know
I understand.
I'm not stuck in a personal
conversation with you, Bill.
Don't get nervous.
And tell the two uniforms
in the cruiser to stop pissing
in the bushes. They can
come into the house.
This is your beach.
Hey Daddy.
Come on in.
Come on, Daddy!
Okay, sweetheart,
I'll be right there.
Go on.
