One Night at McCool's Page #6
with a thing.
Did you forget
about the dead guy on the floor?
No, I did not forget about
the dead guy on the floor,
but we're not
we're talking about the dead guy
on the floor's stuff,
and he had a lot of stuff,
stuff we could have taken
if you weren't such a chickens hit.
What's that?
So now
I'm a chicken sh*t, is that it?
Yes, I believe that's
the technical term for what you are.
Yeah, well,
than whatever
the hell is it that you are.
I'm the woman
living with the chicken sh*t.
Not for long.
Yeah, not for long,
that's right,
because I need a real man,
someone I can count on,
not a chicken sh*t like you.
Ah, good, company.
Thus far, police have no leads...
It's that cop!
Aren't you glad we don't have
a lot of stolen stuff
Iyin' around now?
You're a genius.
- Hi.
- Morning.
Thought you'd wanna know
we closed the investigation
on the shooting at McCool's,
no charges will be filed.
We're gonna let you slide
on the unregistered gun
'cause it was self-defense.
Thanks.
Everything okay, ma'am?
Yeah. Sure.
Those are some
pretty nasty bruises.
Huh?
Oh yeah, she -
had an accident.
Accident?
Would you mind if I
talk to her for a minute?
Sure.
Alone?
Okay.
At the time, I was glad
Jewel was gonna talk to him
She knew how to
handle the cops,
what to say
to get rid of em
She was good that way
Whatever happened in there,
she doesn't want
to talk about it.
That's 'cause
nothing happened.
What we do in these
domestic violence situations
is ask you to
vacate the premises.
What domestic violence?!
I will go to a Judge who will
issue a restraining order
which means you are not
allowed on this property -
This is my house!
Or within 100 yards of your wife
until this matter is settled.
She's not my wife!
That's too bad -
you'd have more rights if she were.
You expect me to
Just walk away?
If you don't, I'm afraid
You can't be serious!
This- this-
can't I Just talk to her?
I don't think that would
be wise at this time, sir.
Whatever she told you,
she's- she-
It's not true,
y'know, okay?
Hey, Jewel, honey,
could you come out here, please?
on the unregistered gun.
Hun!
Jewel!
Would you be kind enough
to tell the police officer
that I didn't hit you!
Would you please
tell the officer
that I didn't
do anything to you?
Don't make me
use force, sir.
Jewel!
Jewel!
Randy:
I couldn't believe it
I was so pissed at her
Well, I gotta admit,
she's not perfect.
Not perfect?!
Charlie:
She's like this pure, delicate flower,
I Just wanted
to protect her.
- But, uh, she was
living with another man.
- That piece of slime?
he didn't deserve her.
And you did?
I don't know.
Oh, Charlie.
I was totally
cons umed by her.
My every thought
was of her.
I was walkin' around in a haze.
People talked to me,
but I didn't hear
what they were saying
Cop:
Gregory Potter Spradling.
A lawyer at
Ragsdale, Hersch & Klein.
- What did he do?
"Do"?
For a living.
Lawyer. Ragsdale,
Hersch & Klein.
- It doesn't
make sense.
Why would you go
to all the trouble
of stealing a big-screen TV
Poor guy
The only thing
goin through my head
was her
Everything okay, ma'am?
Yeah. Sure.
Those are some
pretty nasty bruises.
Would you mind if I
spoke to her for a minute?
Knock yourself out.
Charlie, what is it?
Why would God fill me
with this desire
If I wasn't
meant to be with her?
Sometimes some time apart
is the best thing.
Would I get to
stay in the house?
A temporary
restraining order
would keephim way
for...90 days.
But permanently?
You'd have to get a lawyer.
Do you know one?
Yeah. I know one.
She called you?
Yes- I didn't call her.
She tells me things
so I thought
and introduce her to
one of the guys in my office.
In fact, I did, I once introduced her
to this other attorney,
Greg, who's this...
...guy who was murdered.
Anyway, she Just knew
that Karen and I were having problems.
Were you?
Yes, you could say that.
Sexual problems?
Hey, you know...
Okay, if you want
to label it, yeah.
But I'm not saying
it's Karen's fault.
Was it your fault?
Maybe it was
Karen's fault.
Was there sex between
you and this woman?
Yes.
You want it now,
lawyer boy?
- Yes! Yes, please!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
What happened there?
Wh-why'd we stop?
What?
I need to ask you
for a favor.
Anything at all -
anything!
Um-hmm, um-hmm.
I'm gonna need
You got it!
You got it.
You aren't Just saying that?
- You got it.
You want this?
You like it?
Can you helpme?
Anything!
- Say it!
I will give you
legal advice.
Say it!
- I will give you legal advice!
- Say...it!
I'm saying, I will give you
legal advice.
Yeah?
- Whooah!
- She whipped you?
- Yes.
With a whip?
- Yes.
And you en Joyed it?
Yes.
Charlie
I spent so much time
going by her house,
ifyou didn't know
my intentions were pure
you d think I was stalking her
Hello.
Hi.
I looked for any excuse
to go see her
I spoke to
a friend of mine
about helping you
with keeping the house.
Oh, good. Thanks.
I, uh, I Just
wish I had known
a bit sooner.
See, I already sort of contacted
this other lawyer.
Well, if you'd
rather use him -
It's Just that I'm not sure if I can
get my retainer back.
Well, lawyers-
They'll always try to
find a way to screw you.
Yeah.
Well, I-I better -
I, uh -
- Yeah?
I was making
some supper...
If you'd like to...
It's nothing special.
Surely this was
the hand of God.
How do you mean, Charlie?
In an instant I was transformed
from a broken man, made whole.
It was like Theresa
had been brought back to me
She even looked like Theresa -
The way she moved,
The way she smiled
# Her skin is like velvet #
# Her face cut from stone #
# Her eyes when
she's smiling... #
Can I helpyou with that?
- No thanks.
I'll be right back.
She even made linguini
with tomatoes and onions
like Theresa used to
Linguini with
tomatoes and onions.
Jeez.
What's that?
Oh - Nothing.
Probably Just a cat
got into the garbage.
Bread?
- Thanks.
How come you never
wear a uniform?
I'm a detective.
Sometimes I do,
it depends.
I bet you look
real good in it.
I couldn't wipe
I was so happy
Because of her
I lost my Job,
I lost my house,
I'm an accessory
in not only one, but two murders.
- Shh!
Randy:
I couldn't stopthinking about her
Okay, maybe I wasn t
allowed on the property,
but that didn't mean I couldn t
keepan eye on her
And then
she did something
that sent me over the edge
I knew I had to
do something
something drastic
to salvage
what little I had left
I got the ten thousand.
Bingo parlor, right?
Burmeister:
Yeah.
