I'll have a Vodka Gimlet.

Hello.

Hi.

I'm Rachel.

Tom.

Should I ask

if you come here often?

Or is that too clich?

Could offer to buy you a drink,

or I could ask

what a nice girl like you

is doing in a place like this?

But I guess

that's not much better.

(LAUGHS)

You could always ask my sign.

I could,

but that could come off

really desperate,

wouldn't it?

Well, to answer your questions,

this would be

my first time here.

I would love for you

to buy my drink,

and I'm just looking

for a good time.

You still haven't

told me your sign.

I'm a Taurus.

- Oh, stubborn.

- Hah.

I just know what I want,

and...

I'm not afraid

to go out and get it.

Would you like

to get out of here?

I thought you'd never ask.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(BONES SNAPPING)

(SIGHS)

(PHONE RINGING)

Homicide.

Yep.

- Maggie?

- Yeah, boss?

Let's go.

They got a body down

at the Fairview Motel.

C.S.U. just confirmed

they're all done in here.

They'll collect the body

when we're finished.

Sam, what's wrong?

- I know this guy.

- What?

- Who is he?

- My ex-partner.

- He's a cop?

- Was.

He got kicked off the force

about five years ago

for being involved

with drug dealers.

He was stealing coke from

the evidence locker.

You think this was a

drug deal gone bad?

A guy naked in bed in

this dump of a hotel?

Does this look like any retaliation

that you've ever seen?

Besides, I heard he cleaned up.

Now that red letter A.

It's a message to someone.

Scarlet letter maybe?

Red A for adulterer?

It's possible.

See if Tom was married.

Maybe he's cheating and

his wife got pissed.

If his wife killed him,

what would he be doing here

- in this rattrap naked?

- I don't know.

There's a lot of things about

this that don't make any sense.

Hey, sis.

I got one of them.

You should've seen him.

He was pathetic.

Hello, Frank.

Hi, I'm Rachel.

I'm just looking for

a good time.

(LAUGHS)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Frank?

Sam.

Hey, I'm completely clean, man,

I haven't touched the stuff

in over two years.

Now can't a guy come down

and see an old friend

without being accused

of an ulterior motive?

Sure, Sam.

Man, how you been?

I'm good, Frank.

You know, I'm

surprised to see you

in the neighborhood after...

well, after everything

that happened.

It's what I came

to talk to you about.

Have you seen Tom lately?

No, not in quite awhile.

- He's dead.

- Dead?

- How?

- Murdered last night,

and I thought

you might know who did it.

Look, Sam, I...

Don't bullshit me, Frank.

I know you were mulling

drugs for Tom,

even if they could never get

enough evidence against you.

That was a long time ago,

Sam, all right,

and I'm not involved

in any of that anymore,

- and...

- And Tom?

As far as I know,

he went straight after he got

kicked off the force

and like I said,

I don't roll

with that crowd no more.

So who does?

Frank, if you

don't give me a name,

I'll have no choice

but to take you in

- under suspicion of murder.

- You can't do that.

I used to know you since you were

a beat cop in the neighborhood,

and you got nothin' on me

'cause I'm clean.

You're right.

I got nothin' on you.

We are friends, Frank.

Good friends.

A lot of bad stuff

happened back then,

and I'm just lucky

that I got out

before goin' down

with the rest of you.

You seem to be doing

all right for yourself.

I am.

So what about a name?

The only guys I know that Tom stayed

in touch with from the neighborhood

- was Mick.

- (SCOFFS)

- Mick the Cocaine King.

- Yeah, you remember.

That's the guy

that Tom used to work for

back in the day,

'cept for he wasn't

- Cocaine King back then.

- Yeah, more of a court jester.

That's all I got, Sam, really.

'Kay, Frank, fair enough.

It's always good catching up

with an old friend.

You stay out of trouble, okay?

Sure thing.

Take care of yourself.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

My, my. You're quite

good at this game,

aren't you?

I've been known to have my days.

- I'm Frank.

- Rachel.

You know, I don't remember

seeing you around her before.

It's my first time.

Yeah, this doesn't look like

your kind of place.

Oh, I don't know about that.

There's certain things

I find appealing.

So...

what's a girl gotta do

to get a drink around here?

I'll tell you what.

Why don't we play

a little game of pool

and whoever wins

buys the drinks?

I'd love

to play with you, Frank,

but let's up the stakes

a little bit,

- shall we?

- Uh, what do you mean?

Well, if I win, you and I could

get to know one another

a little bit better.

Well, I'd like that,

but what if I win?

We'll think of something.

It's almost like I can't lose.

Exactly.

Rack 'em up.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Holy sh*t as I live and breathe.

- Hey, Mick.

- Come in, come in.

- You wanna drink?

- No thanks.

- I'm on duty.

- Wait.

You're not here

to arrest me, are you?

I swear, officer,

she said she was 18.

- That's very funny.

- Ah, come on, Sam,

you used to have

a sense of humor.

Okay, so what brings you

all the way out here

- after all this time?

- I'm here on business.

Please sit down.

How can I help you?

I'm here to talk

to you about Tom.

Tom.

Ah, that's a name

I haven't heard in a long time.

Okay, so what about him,

he's got himself

into trouble or something?

Yeah, you could say that.

- He's dead.

- Okay, that's trouble.

- You don't seem surprised.

- When Tom worked for me,

he did more blow

than he delivered,

so, no, I'm not surprised.

Except it wasn't

a drug overdose.

- He was murdered.

- Interesting.

- Drug deal gone wrong.

- It doesn't look that way.

Okay, so what does this

have to do with me?

Until you mentioned his name,

I haven't thought

of Tom in years.

You sure about that?

You can't possibly think

I had something to do with this.

I don't know.

Where were you between the hours

of 7:
00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m.

last night?

(CHUCKLES)

Ah, 7:
00 p.m. and...

I was at a party

hosted by some friends

with about two dozen witnesses

that can place me there.

What time did you leave?

Ah, after 10:
00 p.m.,

and then I came

straight back here.

Alone?
