Why don't I just

check my machine...

and we'll grab a bite?

No, I think I'll just warm up

some pizza or something.

Oh, come on.

Where's the kitchen?

You'll be tragically disappointed

if you think you'll fiind food in there.

I'll be the judge of that.

Where is it?

Right? Left?

- Right.

- Right.

Can you turn water

into wine too?

Nope.Just mushroom soup

into turkey tetrazzini.

- Where'd you learn how to cook?

- My ex-wife.

Speaking of which...

it seems like she's vanished

off the face of the planet.

Oh, I told you.

She remarried

and moved to Europe.

I haven't spoken to her

in over six years.

Why did you two split up?

Oh, we just drifted apart.

- You know how it is.

- Yeah.

The thing I don't get is...

how a terrifiic woman like you

ended up marrying a guy like Doherty.

We were both in law school.

That guy was in law school?

Yeah. His parents

forced him into it.

He wanted to be a cop

like his dad.

- Was his dad crooked?

- He wrote the book on it.

Actually, you know,

John was determined to be different.

And he was for a while.

He just got frustrated

when the bad guys walked, I guess.

Yeah, so he stacks the deck.

I got out before things

got really bad.

Does he still resent you

for leaving?

I don't know.

He's probably pretty relieved

that I'm gone.

Anybody that would let you go

is a fool.

He surrendered after holding her hostage

for 3 hours. His name is Robert Nunn.

- Same M.O.?

- Right down to the cut screen.

But the DA is gonna allow him to

cop a plea for breaking and entering.

They got him for kidnapping,

minimum.

But he's on his third strike.

If they take a B&E,

he's up for life.

Of course.

Then there's no worry about anything

damaging the case against Mulholland.

I'm gonna get a sit-down with Nunn.

You stay with Malone.

I wanna fiind out what's she's hiding.

I'm on it, boss.

- I was hoping you'd stop by.

- Why's that?

Had a meeting with my astrologer.

Said I was gonna meet

the love of my life.

Sounded a lot like you.

There's only one way

to fiind out.

What time do you

get off work tonight?

Mr. Nunn,

my name's Maureen Doherty.

- I'd like to ask you a few questions.

- About what?

I'm an attorney representing a man

charged in the murder of Virginia Hill.

Never heard of her.

Here's a picture.

Nice tits.

Virginia was killed

under circumstances...

that bear more than

a passing resemblance to your patterns.

``Patterns''?

You can't possibly expect my client

to confess to a murder.

Her windows were slashed,

and a lot of jewelry was taken.

You have quite an affection

for jewelry.

If you say another word, Mr. Nunn,

I will not be held responsible.

I don't know

what you're talking about.

You were caught red-handed.

You're on a third strike

for mandatory life.

You sure there's nothing

you want to talk to me about?

I didn't kill nobody.

This interview is over.

One more word from you, and I will

have you up on disciplinary charges.

You wanna be my lawyer?

This guy's a f***in' moron.

That's me at seven.

Daddy's little girl.

Cute.

Okay, you can't see this one.

- What?

- It's my graduation picture. No way!

Give it here.

God!

I can see why you'd

wanna keep that hidden.

You were a late bloomer, huh?

Here.

Oh. Who's this?

That's Ginny.

She's the girl who was killed.

You miss her a lot?

Yeah.

We had some great times.

At least, before David.

What do you mean?

Well, see...

David and I...

used to see each other.

Then he got hot for Ginny,

she and I got in a big fiight.

I mean, we made up...

but it was never the same.

I'm glad you're not

with him anymore.

- The paper said he was into weird sh*t.

- Not with me.

He was always a real gentleman.

Just like you.

Then why was Virginia

so scared of him?

Why are you always asking me

questions about them?

I don't know.

I've never been out with anyone before

whose friend got killed.

The whole thing is intriguing.

You want something intriguing?

Don't mind if I do.

Mulholland must be crazy.

I'd never choose Virginia

over you.

I'm sorry.

Oh, it's not you.

It's just that there's something about

that night that I haven't told anyone.

Tell me.

I'm scared.

Molly...

you can trust me.

The night that Ginny was killed

she called me.

There was someone with her,

but it was Dav--

This is Molly.

I'm just sitting here.

That is none of your business.

What?

What was it that you said

you did for a living?

Who was that, Molly?

You're working for Mulholland,

aren't you?

- He sent you here to spy on me?

- Who was that?

I trusted you!

You prick!

Get out!

Molly, I don't know

who you're protecting...

but don't you f***ing lie

when you get on that witness stand!

I said, get the f*** out!

The State calls as its fiirst witness

Mr. William Peterson.

Mr. Peterson,

you are the manager...

of a strip club

called Night Moves.

- Are you not?

- That's right.

Mr. Peterson, on the night

of February 21 ...

did you observe anything unusual

about Virginia Hill?

Yes. She had a bruise

on her neck.

- Did you ask her about it?

- Yeah, I asked her.

- She said Mulholland had done it.

- Is that right?

- Anything else?

- Yes.

I remember she specifiically said

that she was scared of Mr. Mulholland...

and she was worried that he'd lose it

someday and end up killing her.

- Objection. Hearsay.

- Overruled.

I'm going to allow it,

but let's move on, Mr. Booth.

Your Honor,

I have no further questions.

Mr. Peterson.

How would you describe your relationship

with the girls at the club?

We get along okay.

-Do you often get a little too friendly?

-That's bull.

Everything was always professional.

Completely professional.

``Professional.''

Is that how you would characterize

your relationship with Virginia Hill?

Exactly.

Nothing personal.

Don't you fiind it strange then that

she would choose to share with you...

the details of her relationship

with Mr. Mulholland?

Objection, Your Honor.

Calls for speculation.

Sustained.

Withdraw the question.

Isn't it also true, Mr. Peterson, that

shortly before Virginia Hill's murder...

my client threatened

to remove you from your job?

He might have.

Didn't one of the women

at the club...

come to Mr. Mulholland

complaining about you making advances...

and threatening to sue

for sexual harassment?

I never made any advances on her.

I am a happy married man.

Yes or no, Mr. Peterson.

Did one of your employees

come to Mr. Mulholland...

complaining about you

making sexual advances?

Yes.

But she was a lying b*tch.

No further questions.

Wow.

Are you Mulholland's lawyer?

Yes, speaking.

Ma'am, are you all right?

Is there something

you wanted to tell me?

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have called.

- Don't hang up.

- Why would I hang up?

Did you get the painting?

Yes, it's--

Well, it's spectacular.

-And I can't accept it.

- I'll tell you what.

Don't charge me for this phone call,

and we'll call it even.

It's way too extravagant, David.
