just dance?

Dance.

F*** it.

Dawn.

Dawn.

I was wrong. I was wrong.

I was wrong. I'm sorry.

Move closer.

Oh, no, no, no.

No.

It's wrong, I'm sorry, baby.

Touch me.

You've never seen him?

I think I'd remember

meeting somebody like that.

Don't you?

Okay.

This is my partner Luis Cruz. He's

going to give you a ride home, okay?

I'll just keep scrubbing

to get it all off.

You know I'm sorry, right?

All right.

You ready?

Do you have any place to go?

Cruz:
Excuse me, miss?

Do you want me to go with you?

- Dawn:
No, that's cool.

- You sure?

- Yeah, thanks.

- (footsteps)

I have no place else to go.

Okay. Come on.

Ms. Holmes, you sure you don't

need me to come inside?

No, we're good.

No, no. Thank you.

- (cartoons play on TV)

- Okay.

- I'm really not that hungry.

- You eat, sweetie.

Worst decision a person

can make

is to make a decision

on an empty stomach.

TV:
Connection with

the Laurel Canyon murders.

Police have taken X-rated film star

John Holmes into custody.

Holmes, known in the adult film industry

as Johnny Wadd,

has starred in over 1,000

X-rated films.

Those murders that occurred

up on Wonderland Avenue...

He hasn't even done a movie

in like two years.

Well, I wouldn't know about that.

What involvement John Holmes may have

had in the murders is still unclear,

but we should find out tomorrow

when he's arraigned

in downtown Los Angeles.

We are learning a little more

about Holmes' private life.

We've uncovered court papers

indicating the porn star

is currently married,

but estranged from his wi...

(TV turns off)

What are you doing

back with him, Dawn?

I haven't seen you

in almost a year,

and I figured

you just got away from him.

I did. I did.

I ran away.

I got away, Sharon.

To Oregon,

I was there for two months.

And I had a job, too.

I was a nurse, kind of like you.

But you know, he just kept calling.

You know? He just wouldn't stop.

Every day, three times a day.

At first I didn't even take

his phone calls.

He would tell

my mother every single night,

"Tell Dawn I love her,

tell her goodnight."

Every single night

before I went to bed.

So you know, I took his call.

I took his call.

I didn't say a word.

Nothing.

And then he says...

he says,

"I can hear you breathe, baby."

And I knew that just my breathing

was enough to keep him going

so that he knew he wasn't alone,

because he had me.

He's using you, Dawn.

When are you going to see that?

- He's been using you for five years.

- No, he's not.

No, he's not,

'cause you know why? I'm his girl.

I'm his girl.

Since I was 15, I've been his girl.

Since...

that night in the van at the beach,

I've been his girl.

You gotta get away

from him, baby.

You take all the bad stuff

and you put it in a box,

and then you just put it in a closet

and never look at it again.

And then you move on.

Cruz:

He wants to talk to us.

We're willing to protect John

if he tells us everything.

But he's scared

and he fears for your safety.

So he wants to see you both

before he says anything.

So where is he?

He's staying at a suite

at the Bonaparte Hotel downtown.

Dawn, do you want to go see John?

Yeah, don't you?

(police radio chatter)

Detective.

- Would you give me some privacy?

- Okay, sure.

Hi.

Don't say anything,

the room's bugged.

We're going to go talk

for a minute, okay, baby?

(water running)

Okay, they've offered me a deal

and I think I'm going to take it.

They're going to put me in

the witness protection program if...

I tell them everything,

everything I told you.

Except I'm not saying

anything about anything unless

- all three of us can go.

- All three of us?

- And they agreed.

- Who's all three of us?

You me and Dawn,

we can go tomorrow.

No, I'm not going

anywhere tomorrow. No.

No, Sharon, that's okay, they've got

people that can come and pack you.

No, no, no, John.

No, I am not going

into the witness protection program

with you. That's that.

- Yes.

- No.

- Yes, Sha... this is the new start...

- No. I'm not going into it.

- Listen, this is the new start...

- No, you gotta listen!

Everything that we planned

could happen now.

I don't want a fresh start

with you, John.

- Wake up!

- Oh, listen...

No, you listen,

I am through supporting you.

You think I would just leave

and never see my family again?

- Sharon...

- It's gone too far this time.

If you don't help me with this,

I am dead.

You're already dead.

This one last thing is all

I'm asking for,

you've got...

you've got to do it!

Stop it, John. Just stop it.

What? Sharon...

- Don't cry. Don't you dare cry.

- Listen, if you don't help...

That's not going to work anymore.

You think I'd go anywhere

with you after this?

Sharon, I am not going

to survive this without you. Okay?

Really? You don't think

you'll survive?

You told me you were a survivor.

Remember that? Look at how

you're surviving, John.

- Why did you come down here then?

- What choice do I have?

- What choice do I have?

- Why haven't you divorced me?

I don't know, I don't know.

Sharon, because you love me

and you want to help me.

It's too late, John. It's too late.

- Sharon, look at me.

- No.

Sharon, I know you love me,

and I love you.

Do you remember

that day 15 years ago in the bathroom

when you were

measuring yourself?

- Yes.

- Do you remember that?

Remember what you said to me?

I said that I've, I...

finally found what I wanted

to do with my life.

Uh-huh, right.

That's what you said.

Do you remember

what I said to you?

- What did I say?

- What do you want me to say?

You said that if I sold my...

- That's right. What did I say to you?

- (John crying)

You tell me who you are.

What did I say to you?!

You said anyone

that sells their...

their body is a whore.

Uh-huh.

Stay away from the house.

- How's my girl?

- Fine.

Detective Ward, thank you

for coming out on such short notice.

Captain Nimziki

explained the urgency.

Has he backed up any

of Lind's testimony?

- He's hinting.

- Hinting?

He knows a lot.

He's just playing his cards

very close to the chest.

What's he want?

- Immunity.

- What else?

- Protection.

- Really?

- John:
How many you think?

- I have no idea.

- No idea? You never counted?

- No, no.

- Most men have.

- All right.

Why do you think that is?

I don't know.

I guess it's their ego.

Well, I'm thinking...

- I'm thinking Boca.

- Boca Raton?

- Yeah, is there another Boca?

- Only one. Anywhere you want.

That's the only one

I ever heard of, Boca Raton.

I'm thinking Boca

'cause I'm thinking of an alligator.

Can you get me an alligator?

Can you give me an alligator?

I can see Boca, I can see

the condominium,

I can see an alligator...

like on a chain.

Right, right.

I need something

that implicates Eddie Nash.

On the record. Why don't you

tell me about the robbery?

What robbery?

- Hey, Bill.

- Hiya, John.

- How you been?

- Good.

- Good to see you.
