of Chris's from high school. l know him.

- That one is Will...

- You guys OK?

- lt's OK. This one is, uh, Frank Rose.

- Frank Rose.

No, no, no. All the boxes go to Miami.

So, the last call they made

was to American Airlines at 8pm.

Hey. Got a surprise. Both already dead

before somebody turned 'em into s'mores.

- What?

- Both of them?

No sign of smoke in their lungs.

Come on.

lf they'd been alive when that place

went up, their lungs'd look like mine.

- Here are the cellphone records.

- Cellphone?

Yeah. They're on a different database

than the land lines.

305-555-01 99?

- What time did Grandma see the prowler?

- After Leno.

What time's Leno over? 1 2? 1 2.30?

Hello?

Yeah, yeah.

Must be a bad connection.

- All right. 555-01 ...

- Hold on.

(cellphone vibrates and dialling tone)

Yeah. OK.

Let me see if l can find

the number for you.

(dialling tone)

(woman) The Nextel subscriber

is outside the service area.

Please try your call again later.

No, l don't have it.

Obviously, whoever it is

works for the town of Banyan Key.

- How do we find out whose phone this is?

- l'll...

Just ask.

ls there anybody even in Banyan Key?

Yeah, l'll talk to you later.

- Hey, Alex?

- Mm-hm?

l'm sorry, l was drifting off.

What did you say that number was?

555-01 99.

01 99?

- You sure it's not 1099?

- Chae, 01 99.

01 99. That's weird,

that's my cellphone number.

- Yours?

- (Alex) Aren't you county?

Yeah. l work part time as a paramedic.

Football games, school stuff.

- And you called him last night?

- l don't know. Did l...

Oh, Jesus, l did call him last night.

Alex, l'm sorry. That's right,

l called him from the bar. Jesus, l'm sorry.

- You're friends with him?

- l wouldn't say that.

He's my bottom-of-the-list guy when

you gotta have somebody to drink with.

l'm sorry. l would've mentioned

it earlier, it's just l forgot.

You should have told me this

at the scene, Chae.

l don't remember

too much about last night.

l had a fight with Barbara.

l was in no good shape.

Check with the bartender.

Staggered home, passed out.

l didn't move until l got the call

to show up at the scene.

l need a statement.

l'll give you a statement right now.

What? What's the matter? You're like the

love child of Barney Fife and Joe Friday.

- What the hell was that about?

- l was sleeping with her.

Jesus! So you... (imitates explosion)

No. lt was all a plan, them coming back.

They set me up, they planned the thing.

What plan?

What do you mean? What plan?

l gave her the Scarcetti money.

- God!

- Sh.

Would you have given it to me

if l'd slept with you?

- Well, any trace of the money?

- None.

l thought l had trouble with women.

Maybe you should just tell her.

- Alex?

- Alex.

Are you out of your mind?

Look what they got on me. Motive.

Ann Merai names me beneficiary on her

policy and l was having an affair with her.

Opportunity. An eyewitness saw me

outside their house the night it blew up.

- You wanna hear some more?

- Alibi?

Home, by myself.

At least you changed

your cellphone number.

l'm lucky. Even if Alex wanted

to believe me, she'd have to turn me in.

You're right. That'd probably kill

any chance of getting back together.

- What?

- She says ''Let's call the divorce off...''

What are you talking about?

l'm looking at murder charges and you...

The gal's a peach. l don't know what you

were thinking in the first place. Forget it.

- Can l do anything?

- lsn't obstruction of justice enough?

l'm on a roll.

Chief Whitlock.

They matched the prints on the pen.

His name is Paul Cabot.

He's done time. They got his prints

from a criminal database.

Got an address?

36 Reef Road, in Kendall.

(whispers) Come on.

Hurry up.

- You want a beer?

- Nah, l'm OK.

Ho, ho, ho.

- O, what tangled webs we weave.

- What you got?

Looks like your doctor worked in the

hospital, but he was in my line of work.

- Let's get out of here.

- l'll get the beer.

- Chae, come on, let's go.

- C'mon, l gotta get the beer.

A beer in the hand is

worth two in the fridge, man.

What are you doing?

Bottom of the ninth,

down by a lotta runs.

l got about ten grand in the bank.

Get you down to Costa Rica.

- You can scout out some boats for us.

- You think l'm done, huh?

Mm...

- l appreciate it, but l'm not running.

- The idea was l'd drive you.

Yeah. You can drive me.

Drive me back to the station.

- All right.

- All right.

- Hey.

- lnsurance company's on the line.

That number corresponds to

a $1 million term life insurance policy

for an Ann Merai Harrison.

Any messages there for me?

- Who's the beneficiary?

- Just a moment, here. One moment.

Let's see. Looks like

the beneficiary is listed as, uh...

Chris Harrison, her husband.

- You've been really helpful.

- Sorry l couldn't be more...

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

l got a note here.

lt seems that the policyholder requested a

form to change the beneficiary last week.

- So, she changed it?

- lt hasn't made it into the system yet.

So, what does that mean?

ls that in the mail or...

Could be, or it could be downstairs

in our processing room.

- Can you connect me?

- l think they're still out to lunch.

- All right. So, call back in half an hour?

- Sure. Why not?

Thank you.

This is Bill.

- Hey. How you doing, Bill?

- Good. What have you been up to?

You got no idea.

Let me ask you a favour here.

l got a credit card statement, Capital One

credit card statement, on a Paul Cabot.

l need you to find out

the last place he used this.

- C-a-b-o-t?

- Yeah, Paul Cabot.

Can you hold?

(Baste) l found this

in one of the Harrisons' cars.

lt's a bank card receipt to a gas station

used by a guy named Paul Cabot.

- Nice. Check the phone records.

- Already on it.

Paul Cabot? Anybody know

or ever heard of a Paul Cabot?

Come on, people, wake up. Yes? No?

(all) No.

Paul Cabot?

Frank, call the bank, see what they got.

No records of any incoming

or outgoing calls to a Paul Cabot.

- (Alex) The rest of you check...

- OK. Matt?

- Matt?

- Yeah?

Got something.

lf this guy took a piss and paid for it,

l want to know.

He's got a reservation

at the Costa Coral Hotel.

- There's a hold on it now?

- Yeah.

Checked in yesterday.

You know where it is?

- Yeah. On Atlantic Avenue.

- Yeah.

You're a life-saver.

- Chief Whitlock?

- Yeah?

Agent White. This is Agent Fetzer.

We're here to pick up the Scarcetti money.

Agent Stark said to send the money

to his office. My guy left five minutes ago.

- No. He told you we'd pick it up.

- No, he did. He said send it to his office.

He'll tell you. l talked to him.

- He wants to talk to you.

- Hello?

What is your problem?

l told you to get that money ready...

You, you said... You said...

Are you a parrot, telling me what l said?

l know what l said.

No, l'm not a parrot.

l know what you said.

Where the hell is the money?

lf you shut up for five minutes l can tell

you where it is. l can tell you where it is.
