Maniac Cop Page #2

dropped out of the therapy.

I was willing to go. I was

willing to pay the bills.

So it's all my fault now. Is it?

I did everything to hold

this marriage together.

You talk like it's already over.

It's not enough to talk,

you have to listen too.

I suppose that's why you've

been taking all this overtime.

To get away from me.

- Or is it something else?

- What is that supposed to mean?

Sometimes you wake up...

... screaming, like you can't breath.

Sometimes i get afraid that you

might hurt me in your sleep.

Have I ever hurt you?

I know it's wrong to be afraid

of my own husband but I...

Now, why could't you say that

to the therapist?

Why couldn't you simply say, I'm

afraid of him and I don't know why.

Don't Jack, please!

Don't go out tonight.

Stay with me.

Now, how can I?

I'm on the duty roster.

I'll make it up to you on the weekend.

We'll go for ride in the country.

We gonna go up to Tarrytown...

Hey, Don't pull away from me.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what's

happening to me. I...

...I don't like being

alone till all hours

I hear things.

I think I hear things.

Look, There's enough locks

on the doors, you've got a gun

and you know how to use it.

Let me fix that for you.

Look, If I get out early tonight,

I'll try not to wake you.

You can wake me up.

Maybe I'm sleeping too much. They say

that could be depressing to a person.

You know too much sleep.

Be careful now.

You say that every night.

He went out again, didn't he?

Who is this?

Why do you keep calling me?

Why does Jack keep killing people?

He going to do it again tonight?

Why you keep doing this to me?

-Hey Jack?

-Hey Benny.

Its not a big deal. I'll fix it.

No, I'll fix it myself.

Why did follow me?

I thought ...

I was afraid you were...

God.

I didn't want you to

find out this way.

I wanted to tell you but

I didn't know how.

Just...don't come near me.

You have every right to

hate us both,

but let me just try an explan....

I don't want to hear another word.

You say anymore...

... I'll be killing you both.

Ellen, don't point that thing.

- Just drop that thing.

- Let her go.

Let her go.

Oh, Jesus.

You folks checked out yet?

You must've partied

up good in here.

Let's see what other

damage done.

Forrest.

- Let's talk.

- Yeah, sure Captain.

So you decided where you settle

down after your retire, you...

...still think about florida?

It's about your wife.

She called you and complain

about our trouble.

I thought she'd be going to

a lawyer or something like that.

So you two haven't

been getting along.

Ripley.

Captain Ripley!

Captain, since when is my personal

life any of your business?

Since your wife was

found dead in a motel room.

In a sleazebag Motor Inn

on Eleventh Avenue,

With her throat slit

from ear to ear.

No. You gotta be wrong.

You want to see

some pretty pictures?

She ran out, I thought

she might back home.

You admit you were there?

I tried to stop her but

she had a gun.

Patrolman Forrest,

before you say anything else...

...I better read you your rights.

You saving your reviews?

Never saw these before.

What about this?

Your wife's diary.

She wrote ...

"I now believe my husband

may be doing these murders."

Is that why she followed you?

-Is that why you shut her up?

-This is not true.

Have you got an alibi for last Wednesday

night and the preceding Friday?

-I was home.

-Come on Forrest.

If you were home, your wife

wouldn't have suspected you.

Alright, I was seeing somebody.

I'll talk to my client now, alone.

Councillor, We've read

him his Mirandas...

...and he elected to

make a statement.

That's inadmissible!

He did admit that he was in that motel

room with presence of the victim.

And that's enough.

Now you two guys, outta here.

Must remove now, Councillor.

Councillor,

We intend to have this suspect,

appear in a lineup for the witnesses,

first thing tomorrow morning.

Good day Sir.

These guys are trying to make

me the fall guy.

Everybody's screaming for

blood I was and I'm it.

I'm certain you had no

control over what happened.

Call it irresistible impulse.

That's a legal defense.

Better yet, bet you don't even

remember committing the crimes,

Blackouts, Momentary

lapses of memory.

What are you talking about?

I'm not crazy. I didn't do it.

You were seeing a

therapist on a regular basis.

Come on, a marriage counselor.

I've got a witness. Okay,

Somebody else who was there.

I don't want to bring her into this

unless there's no other way.

Pal! You need all

the help you can get.

Its gonna ruin her career.

Let's give it till the end of the week.

If they don't find the real killer by then,

I'll name her.

Yeah, so I told my kids,

You see a cop, you cross to the other

side of the street. I see a cop, I'm outta here.

a policeman crossed the street

to the other side.

I seen there my friends

murdered by cops.

Shot in the back. Shot when

they didn't have a gun or knife.

You know, cops like killing,

that's why they're cops.

Who's gonna be next, huh?

Cops want you to be scared of them.

That makes them men, real men.

Because without that uniform

what are they? I don't scare.

They respected cops in my day or they

hit you on your head with their billy.

They didn't take no guff.

They were the law.

Nowadays like this, they got

to shoot you to get respect.

Nobody gives no crap

to the cops, no more since this

crazy cop come along.

You see a cop coming now,

you get out of the way!

And there ain't much

crime no more.

Hey, Listen...

But 18 years back I had a case for ya,

This guy made it look as if

a psychopath was at work.

So what does he do then?

He goes in, He kills his wife and it

looks like its one of the serial killings.

Jack, but set up to take

the heat off the real psycho.

You gonna tell me you think

that he's that smart.

He's a cop. Maybe even a Detective.

-F*** you!

-Come on Ripley, why not?

Every Detective keeps his own uniform hanging in the closets and

thats the one thing

you never could get rid off.

Let me tell you if....

If Jack had an alibi,

he would have come

across with it by know.

Jack is protecting someone.

Whoever it is, he doesn't

want to be get involved.

and the killer knows who it is.

And you're a cop.

-F***in I'm a cop.

What the f*** are you?

F*** you.

-You put you in danger

-How?

The scum wants to

lay low for a while,

till he starts

another killing spree.

He likes us to relax our guard.

And he accomplishes that he

hands us a prime suspect.

Why would he pick me?

Your size, your description,

your personal file.

He's getting his information from

inside the department.

-And, of course, your sex life.

-John, but nobody knew about that.

Your girlfriend might've

told somebody, Jack.

She's the only one that can give us

the connection and that puts her in danger.

John, She can take care herself.

She outshoots me every time

we go to the range.

She's on the force?
