i couldn't pronounce ralph when i was little.
that was fast.
huh?
shit!
go!
oh!
anything?
we got a shitload of cops out there.
killer either disappeared or he's still inside.
never thought i'd be afraid in a cop bar.
two hours ago, i said he was a horrible person.
you said he was a pain in the ass, and he was.
give me a break, madison.
you got a fresh cuton your hand.
i want to know how it got there.
bobby,there was a delivery guy, mid-20s, asian,brought in some beer.
you seen him?
no.
did you tell him about your fight?
what fight?
with ed,over louie's tip.
it wasn't a fight.
he -- he was just being ed.
he's a pain in the ass.
yeah, zeke here was right outside the bathroom door when i came out.
i almost ran into him.
i had to go to the bathroom.
butch, have you seen the delivery guy?
no.
here's some blood.
madison says he dropped his glass, cut his hand.
i heard something about you and ham in a stall during the murder.
shit!
what did you hear?
you know,you were servicing him. "
servicing"?
i was putting air in his tires?c-changing his oil?
would somebody please find out who's honking and tell him to cut it out?
it's ed's wife, waiting for him to drive her home.
mrs.
ligardi...
i'm detective hanadarko.
i need to speak to you about ed.
seven chapters.
could be a record...
waiting for ed.
never a dull moment in this one.
you like romance?
much as the next girl.
ed thinks it's stupid.
mrs.
ligardi...
ed's not coming out.
i'm sorry.
your husband's dead.
he's been murdered inside.
he died instantly.
we don't know what happened.
but we're not going to do anything else, none of us we're not gonna sleep until we find out.
you should sleep.
and you should eat well,too.
is there someone you'd like me to call?
relatives, anybody?
no.
i think i'd like to go home.
i'll get someone to drive you.
murder was at 11:03.
i was at the front door got about three minutes of rafe leaving.
then i took a couple of swings past the bar.
bathroom's in the it's blurry.
i'll get tech to take a look.
maybe they'll see something.
???
about a guy with dark hair, brown shirt?
yeah, dickie and cook.
didn't see his face.
is he on the tape?
not sure yet.
so, what's our story?
we were setting up a practical joke -- chocolate on the back of the toilet seat.
oh, shit.
civilian employee of the police department gets murdered in the men's room of a cop bar while said bar is literally full of the aforementioned cops, and -- oh, wait for it, now -- two of ocpd's finest are actually getting it on in the stall five feet away while the deceased is getting his throat slit.
did i miss anything?
um -- we were actu-- no, no.
that was rhetorical.
what happened after you found the body?
i checked the back door.
it was locked and the alarm was set, so i went to the front door and locked it.
could the killer have gotten out the front?
yeah,he had about a minute.
do we have any suspects,any leads, anybody other than everyone who hated ed?
we got places to start.
look, captain,we went in the bathroom to set up a practical joke.
someone came in, so we waited, thought he was taking a piss.
you and i worked the streets together for two years, grace.
you think i don't know your bullshit?
this is a problem, a problem i don't need.
now, solve this thing, get yourselves in check, and i might -- might -- not throw both of your asses off my squad.
shit, she's pissed.
we pulled her away from a date.
listen, i'm sorry.
this is my fault.
you got nothing to be sorry about, ham.
we didn't do anything wrong.
we were off duty.
we weren't even drunk.
so, you cool, then?
no, i am not cool, man!
ed was murdered five feet from us!
how is that cool?!
ham and i weren't screwing in the bathroom i wasn't giving him a blow job.
we were setting up a joke.
doesn'matter.
what matters is finding out who killed one of our own in our own house.
brought you this to make you feel more at home.
delivery guy's melvin wu -- no record.
he had six deliveries to make after louie's, never made them.
none of them?
shit.
last contact was 10:23.
he called when he got to louie's.
never gone awol before.
company's worried about him.
what about madison?
i got three people saw him cut himself on broken glass.
uh, henrhat the murder weapon was straight-edged.
bobby, you take melvin wu.
i already put out a bolo on him.
check with his family.
he's got a brother doing time.
zeke.
i got zeke, all right.
word is ed was gonna fire him, and zeke knew it.
uh-huh.
what about brown shirt?
all right, we got four people who saw this guy.
nobody got a good look at his face.
any of you see him?
how could some guy we don't know be in our bar, and we don't see him?
he's a ghost.
the kill was silent, fast.
he's gone in the night.
got to be a pro.
a pro's not gonna take a chance in a cop bar.
maybe it's a message.
is it about one of ed's cases?
someone's got a trial coming up, wants their evidence compromised.
why not kill the witness, the cop who busted you,the d.a.?
why kill the guy who files your evidence?
i mean, half the time,they don't even testify, man.
it's stipulated.
if ed was as well-loved outside of work as he was inside, it could have been a hired hit by a neighbor.
hi, mrs.
ligardi.
did you sleep?
i'm okay.how you doing?
Ed loved ocean sounds.
he was a great guy.
nobody liked him.
did you like him?
i respected his work ethic.
he liked you.
you bought a round of drinks once, and you included him.
ed ever mention anything,anyone?
he didn't like rhetta rodriguez.
why not?
said she was snippy.
* a goddess on a mountaintop * * was burning like a silver flame * * the summit of beauty and love * * and venus was her name * * she's got it * *h, baby,she's got it * * well, i'm your venus * * i'm your fire at your desire * * well, i'm your venus * * i'm your fire at your desire * hey.
he talks.
is that muddy waters?
you used to play guitar,right?
do you like the blues?
they got guitars in here,ain't they?
so what?
so why don't you pick one up and play it?
might make you feel better.
Just gonna lay there util they kill you?
maybe.
you haven't been outside in a month.
i go outside,feel the sun.
it just makes it harder coming back in here.
ain't prayed in a while,either.
where's your prayer mat?
i traded it for some smokes.
so you're giving up?
yeah.
yeah, i'm giving up.
all the appeals done died.
well, i ain't talking about your execution.
i'm talking about your spirit,your soul.
how you been sleeping lately?
why?
having weird dreams about that cop -- hanadarko.
you putting her in my head again?
ed slept in a nightshirt.
you see his apartment?
what was it like?
had a hamster named roland, collected civil war shit.
he and gretchen did re-enactments on the weekend every person on his block hated him.
he was still one of us.
yeah.you got something?
leon cooley's fingerprints were on the barstool at louie's.
rhetta.
you got something on ed?
did you hear what i said?
it wasn't a dream, grace.
leon cooley was there.
he's on death row,behind bars, but his fingerprints are on that barstool, exactly where you said.
unless he killed ed, i don't really give a shit do you have anything on ed or not?
ham's fingerprints are on the inside doorknob of the bathroom.
thanks.
perfect timing.
just talked to butch.
we're still looking for melvin wu.
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
whoa, check this out.
there's our ghost.
and here's our mummy.
defense attorney's gonna fry your ass.
i.a., my office, 3:00.

oh, god.
ah, ah, ah.
we are so screwed.
ow.
don't have time today,earl.
i know.
i know this one's important to you.
well, they're all important to you.
you got a great big heart,grace.
what are you wearing?
oh.
how long it been since you slept?
why?
you waiting for me to fall asleep so you can screw with my dreams?
you know, there was this pharaoh, amenemhat wanted to ignore his dreams, too, but joseph stepped in, made him pay attention, and the entire nation of egypt was saved from famine.
no famine in o.k.
city.
yeah.not yet.
you trying to tell me you ain't the least bit curious about leon -- why god brought the two of you together?
i got to take a shower.
chocolate on the toilet seat,huh?
you like that?
you mean other than the fact it was a lie?
yeah, other than that.
i prefer tapioca pudding myself -- watch 'em really get upset.
DUDE,THAT'S LIKE A DOZEN EGGS.
COME ON, MAN -- EAT SOMETHING.
EAT!
AH, IT'S GONNA BE ROUGH GOING BACK TO MREs.
I SENT YOU MORE CRAP THAN YOU CAN EAT IN A MONTH, MARINE.
2 HOURS AND 51 MINUTES,COP, AND YOU AND YOUR BATHROOM LOVER ARE GONNA GET YOUR ASSES TORN APART.
ALL RIGHT, THANKS.
BLADE WAS RAZOR-SHARP --MAYBE A CERAMIC.
HEY, YOU GOT ANY SYRUP?
CERAMIC -- DEFINITELY,DEFINITELY PRO, MAN.
YEAH, THAT AND THE CUT -- DEEP, CLEAN, FAST,GOT BOTH CAROTIDS.
ED WAS DEAD BEFORE HE HIT THE FLOOR.
ONLY HE NEVER HIT THE FLOOR, MAN -- HE WAS LAID DOWN.
-YOU WANT SOME MORE BACON?
-MM.
IF THIS IS A REAL GHOST, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA FIND HIM.
WE FIND OUT WHO KILLED HIM,MAYBE WE DO.
FIND SOMEBODY WITH DOUGH.
GHOST IS GONNA WANT BIG BUCKS FOR A KILL IN A COP BAR.
HERE'S WHAT I GOT ON ZEKE.
-YOU WANT SOME MILK?
-YEAH, SURE.
OKAY,THERE'S A TEAM OF EIGHT THAT WORKS THE EVIDENCE ROOM, RIGHT?
ED CHECKS THEIR WORK TWICE A YEAR, FOR ZEKE, MAN --SEVEN AUDITS.
WELL, WE GOT MOTIVE, BUT WHERE'S ZEKE GET THE GHOST?
I MEAN,HOW DOES HE PAY FOR IT?
I KNOW A COUPLE DOZEN GUYS COULD DO IT.
MR.
SPEC OPS TOUGH GUY,RIGHT?
-I'M SERIOUS!
-UH-HUH.
WE ALL GET TRAINED TO KILL LIKE THAT.
GUYS COME HOME -- SOME OF THEM MAY HAVE TROUBLE FINDING A COMPATIBLE OCCUPATION.
WHAT, SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FRIEND OF YOURS?
I'D CHECK THE V.A.
HOSPITALS,SECURITY FIRMS, THE GUY ON THE STREET CORNER WITH A SIGN THAT SAYS,"HOMELESS VET NEEDS WORK."
BUT BE CAREFUL, THOUGH.
THE TRAINING THAT YOU GUYS GET COMPARED TO WHAT WE DO -- A LITTLE BIT LIKE SENDING A CHIHUAHUA IN TO FACE A ROTTWEILERSa -SAY WHAT?
-EASY, NOW.
CHIHUAHUAS CAN BE TOUGH.
WHAT, YOU THINK YOU'RE TOUGHER THAN ME, MAN?
'CAUSE I DON'T THINK SO,BRO.
I DON'T KNOW, BETTY CROCKER -- ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.
-ALL RIGHT, DUDE.
-BRING IT.

GIVE IT A LITTLE MORE, GIVE IT A LITTLE MORE.
-COME ON!
-COME ON!
COME ON.
AAH!
OH, SHIT.
RAFE, YOU OKAY?
I THINK YOU BROKE MY DAMN ARM.
YOU WERE GONNA SMEAR CHOCOLATE ON THE BACK OF THE TOILET SEAT?
CORRECT.
WITH YOUR SHIRT OFF?
ED WAS BLEEDING OUT.
I REMOVED MY SHIRT TO PRESS AGAINST THE WOUND.
WHERE'S THE CHOCOLATE?
WHERE'S THE CHOCOLATE?
I THREW IT AWAY.
IT WAS STARTING TO MELT.
SO MY GUESS IS THE CRIME LAB -- GETTING PROCESSED WITH EVERYTHING ELSE FROM THE TRASH CANS.
-RECOGNIZE THIS?
-YES.
IT'S A CONDOM.
YOUR PARTNER'S CONDOM?
IT WAS ON THE FLOOR OF THE BATHROOM STALL.
GUYS DROP THEIR PANTS.
IT FELL OUT OF SOMEONE'S POCKET.
-WERE YOU DRUNK?
-NO.
HOW MANY DRINKS YOU HAVE?
TWO BEERS,ONE SHOT OF WHISKEY.
A LOT OF WOMEN -- THEY'D BE DRUNK AFTER TWO BEERS, ONE SHOT OF WHISKEY.
WE DONE?
FOR NOW.
SHIT.
WHAT, IT WAS THAT BAD?
WHAT?NO, NO.
IT WAS BULLSHIT.
SO, YOU BROKE YOUR BROTHER'S ARM?
YEAH, I DROPPED HIM OFF AT THE E.R.
-- MAD AS HELL.
GET THAT OVER WITH, THEN MEET ME AT LOUIE'S.
WE GOT TO BE MISSING SOMETHING.
-YOU HEARD FROM BUTCH AND BOBBY?
-NO.
WE FOUND MELVIN WU.
MELVIN WAS METICULOUS.
WE GOT FOUR PRIOR DELIVERIES -- TIME IN, TIME OUT, GAS MILEAGE,TIME EN ROUTE.
HE GOT TO LOUIE'S AT 10:23 -- NOTHING AFTER AT.
THE MILEAGE IS 97,651.
STILL IS -- HE MUST HAVE DROVE STRAIGHT HERE.
IT'S THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF HIS NEXT DELIVERY.
THAT LOOKS THE SAME.
M.E.
SAY HOW LONG HE'S BEEN DEAD?
16 TO 20 HOURS.
18 HOURS AGO HE WAS AT LOUIE'S.
MUSTT EN THE GHOST.
THE GHOST KNEW IT -- MADE HIM DRIVE OUT HERE,KILLED HIM.
THE KID WAS IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME.
I'LL STOP BY SONIC -- GET YOU A CHILI CHEESE DOG AND SOME ICE CREAM, MAN.
YEAH.
DUDE, AH, ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, LATER.
HOW'S HE DOING?
HIS ULNA'S SNAPPED,WON'T TAKE HIS PAIN MEDS, AND HE'S GOING FOR A RUN.
DAMN.
THAT'S NOT HIS FIRST BROKEN BONE.
FOUR BOYS -- YOU HAD TO BE IN THE E.R.
TWICE A WEEK.
YOU'VE BEEN ARM WRESTLING RAFE SINCE YOU COULD WALK.
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT,RIGHT?
YEAH.
YEAH, IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.
WHEN I HEARD THAT POP, I KIND OF FLASHED ON THAT MAYBE THEY'D KEEP HIM HOME.
BUT HE LOVES IT, YOU KNOW?
I MEAN,HE DOESN'T LOVE IT, BUT HE BELIEVES IN WHAT HE'S DOING.
YOU WANT HIM HOME, YOU GOT TO GO FOR THE FULL-BODY CAST.
HOW'D IT GO WITH I.A.?
THEY CAN'T PROVE IT, BUT I GUESS I DROPPED A CONDOM AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT.
SHIT.
ALL RIGHT,ED WALKED TOWARD THE CAN.
THE KILLER MUST HAVE BEEN BEHIND ED -- SLIPPED IN WHEN HE OPENED THE DOOR.
IF THE KILLER WAS THAT CLOSE, ED WOULD HAVE POPPED HIM.
DOOR OPENS.
WE HEAR THE MUSIC, NOISE,THEN IT CLOSES.
I HEARD ONE SET OF FOOTSTEPS,THEN NOTHING.
YEAH, ME TOO.
ED NEVER MAKES IT TO THE URINAL.
THE KIacOES HIM, LAYS HIM DOWN, EXITS.
IF HE'S A PRO, HE KNOWS WE'RE INSIDE.
HE'S BEEN WATCHING ED, WATCHING THE BATHROOM, KNOWS WE'RE UNDER THE RADAR, WON'T RISK GETTING CAUGHT -- ASSHOLE KNOWS HE'S SAFE.
OKAY, WE COME OUT OF THE STALL.
GO.
I GO TO THE RIGHT.
ZEKE'S WALKING TOWARD ME.
ZEKE DIDN'T SEE THE KILLER, OR HE'D BE DEAD, TOO.
YEAH, I GO TO THE BACK DOOR -- BACK DOOR'S LOCKED.
THE ALARM'S SET, SO I HEAD TO THE FRONT.
WERE YOU RUNNING?
YEAH, I TELL LOUIE, "LOCK THE PLACE UP.
GET BOBBY AND BUTCH -- TELL THEM WE GOT A CRIME SCENE."
AND I HEAD OUTSIDE.
I STAY WITH ED MAYBE TWO MINUTES -- NOTHING I CAN DO.
ALL OF A SUDDEN,THERE'S QUIET -- LIKE DEAD QUIET.
NO MUSIC.
I TOLD BUTCH TO UNPLUG THE JUKEBOX.
* AT YOUR DESIRE * * WELL, I'M YOUR VENUS * * I'M YOUR FIRE AT YOUR DESIRE * COFFEE?
I'M AFRAID I MIGHT TINKLE.
DANISH?
ED SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN LOUIE'S -- MEANS YOU SPENT A LOT OF TIME WAITING IN THE PARKING LOT.
I DIDN'T MIND.
HE'D CALL ME WHEN HE WAS READY TO COME HOME.
I'D BRING A BOOK.
SOMETIMES I'D BRING ROLAND.
I'M REALLY GLAD I DIDN'T BRING HIM LAST NIGHT.
NO KIDDING.
HOW WAS YOUR MARRIAGE?
WERE YOU STILL IN LOVE?
HE WAS ALLERGIC TO DOGS.
AND YOU WANTED A DOG?
WE SETTLED ON ROLAND.
BUT HAVING A HAMSTER -- THAT'S NOT THE SAME THING AS HAVING A DOG.
I NEVER ASKED YOU WHY...
YOU SANG "VENUS" TO ED IN THE MORGUE.
THAT WAS THE FIRST SONG WE DANCED TO AT OUR WEDDING.
YOU KNOW A FUNNY THING?WHAT?
THAT SONG WAS PLAYING IN LOUIE'S WHEN ED'S THROAT WAS SLICED OPEN.
I DID IT.
I ??
SOMEONE TO KILL HIM.
WHY?
'CAUSE HE WAS GONNA RETIRE, AND I JUST COULDN'T STAND THE THOUGHT OF HIM BEING AROUND ALL THE TIME.
LET ME STATE FOR THE RECORD THAT GRETCHEN LIGARDI HAS WAIVED HER RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY.
IS THAT CORRECT,MRS.
LIGARDI?
YES, IT IS.
PLEASE STEP FORWARD WHEN I CALL YOUR NUMBER.
NUMBER ONE.
THIS IS...RAM ALVAREZ.
HE'S MY GARDENER.
AND ON FEBRUARY 24th,YOU PAID HIM...
$75.
TO DO WHAT,MRS.
LIGARDI?
TO KILL MY HUSBAND,ED LIGARDI.
WAS THERE ANY OTHER FORM OF COMPENSATION?
A TUNA SANDWICH.
NUMBER TWO.
CLAUDE ELLER.
AND HOW DO YOU ??
OH, HE'S THE BUSBOY AT CAF?LA ROSE.
AND?
AND I PAID HIM $50 TO KILL MY HUSBAND.
-NUMBER -- -AND...
A CARROT CAKE.
NUMBER THREE.
I DON'T REMEMBER HIS NAME.
HE -- HE LIVES AT THE END OF MY BLOCK.
YOU KNOW HIM BECAUSE...
WELL, I GAVE HIM A CERTIFICATE FOR A DOZEN TICKETS TO THE LOCAL CINEPLEX IN EXCHANGE FOR WHICH HE WOULD KILL MY HUSBAND,ED LIGARDI.
NUMBER FOUR.
JASON SOMETHING.
HE'S A TELLER AT MY BANK, AND I OPENED UP A CHECKING ACCOUNT WITH THE ASSURANCE THAT HE WOULD KILL MY HUSBAND,ED LIGARDI.
WAS THERE ANYONE ELSE YOU COMPENSATED ??
NO, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT.
MRS.
LIGARDI...
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THESE MEN TOOK YOU SERIOUSLY OR NOT, YOUR REQUEST OF THEM WAS ENTIRELY SERIOUS, RIGHT?
YES, IT WAS.
-WHY?
-WHY WAS IT SERIOUS?
WHY DID YOU WANT THEM TO KILL YOUR HUSBAND?
WELL,HAVE YOU EVER MET ED?
-O, SHE'S CRAZY.
-IKE A FOX.
SHE WAS IN THE CAR WAITING.
GIVES HER THE PERFECT "ABILI."
-LIBI.
-THAT'S WHAT I SAID.
GRETCHEN GAVE HER ORDERS -- DO IT AT LOUIE'S, MAKE SURE THE LAST THING ED HEARS IS THEIR SONG.
THAT'S COLD, MAN.
SO, HOW'D SHE AFFORD A HIT MAN?
I DON'T KNOW.
GOT TO GET THEIR FINANCIAL RECORDS AND -- YOU GOT SOME...HERE.
THANKS, MAN.
WHY WOULD GRETCHEN CONFESS?
-BOBBY!
-MM!
TRAINED NOT SLEEP, MY ASS.
GUYS, COME ON.
WE GOT TO NAIL GRETCHEN.
THIS IS SERIOUS SHIT.
I'M AWAKE.
WHAT WERE WE TALKING ABOUT?
UH, WHY WOULD GRETCHEN CONFESS?
MAYBE SHE TALKED TO THOSE FOUR DICKHEADS SO IF WE EVER FIND THE PRO, SHE COULD JUST SAY... "
NO ONE EVER TAKES ME SERIOUSLY.
I DIDN'T HE WOULD,EITHER."
-EXACTIMO.
-WHO WOULD? "
HERE'S 50 BUCKS AND A CARROT CAKE.
GO KILL MY HUSBAND."
YOU GOT NO CASE AGAINST THIS WOMAN.
HEY, SHE PAID THEM.
SHE ENTERED A LEGAL CONTRACT.
THAT'S ATTEMPTED MURDER -- SOLICITATION AT THE LEAST.
D.A.
WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
MRS.
LIGARDI DID NOTHING IN FURTHERANCE OF THE CRIME.
SHE DIDN'T GIVE ANY OF THOSE FOUR GUYS A PICTURE OF ED.
SHE NEVER TALKED ABOUT METHOD, TIME, OR LOCATION.
SHE DID WITH THE GHOST.GOT PROOF?
NOT YET.
BUT VICAP's GOT TWO IDENTICAL UNSOLVED MURDERS -- ONE MIAMI, ONE D.C.
DETECTIVES THERE GOT NOTHIN' YET, BUT WE GOT -- YOU -- YOU GOT A SONG.
-HUH?
-THAT'S YOUR CASE.
WHAT ABOUT ZEKE DJYBUK?
HAVE YOU EXCLUDED HIM YET?
NOT TILL WE FIGURE OUT WHY ED WAS FIXING TO FIRE HIM.
-LOOK, CAPTAIN -- -WELL, THEN FIGURE IT OUT.
JESUS, PEOPLE, YOU THINK THAT GRETCHEN LIGARDI DID THIS?
THEN GET ME PROOF OF PAYMENT, ND THE GHOST, DO SOMETHING, OR THE D.A.
WON'T FILE.
BUTCH, WIPE THAT INK OFF YOUR FACE, AND GET THAT TOILET OUT OF MY SQUAD ROOM!
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, WELL, I SAY, I VOTE WE FINISH UP WITH OLD ZEKE, GO DOWN THE FRUIT STAND FOR SMOOTHIES ALL 'ROUND ON ME.
GOOSEBERRY FOR ME, GRACE.
ED AUDITED ZEKE SEVEN TIMES -- SEVEN TIMES.
IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT CONTENTS OF SUSPECT'S POCKETS.
IT WAS QUARTERS,DIMES, PENNIES.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE ED THOUGHT ZEKE WAS STEALING SOMETHING, BUT, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, NOT A COIN WAS MISSING.
THAT'S WHAT ED'S FIGHT WITH ZEKE WAS ABOUT IN LOUIE'S -- A QUARTER!
I THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT A TIP.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
BUT ED SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED --BOBBY!
THIS IS GOOD, GUYS.
THIS IS A LEAD.
ED SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED A QUARTER.
HE WAS EXAMINING ONE.
ZEKE TOLD HIM TO PUT IT DOWN.
LET'S KEEP GOING WITH THIS.IT'S GOOD.
I GOT TO ASK PERRY SOMETHING.
WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD FROM I.A.?
LAST I HEARD,HE WAS ON HIS WAY DOWN TO THE CRIME LAB TO CHECK THE CONTENTS OF THE TRASH CANS FROM LOUIE'S.
??
I SE GONNA FIND CHOCOLATE?
YEAH.
GOOD.ANYTHING ELSE?
PILLOW TALK WITH I.A.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I'M STILL SLOGGING THROUGH ZEKE'S AUDITS.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
GRETCHEN'S FINANCIALS ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY.
I THOUGHT I'D CHECK ON YOU AND ZEKE.
WHO'S LEON COOLEY?
OLD CASE, SIMILAR M.O.
HEY, YOU EVER DONE IT IN THE EVIDENCE ROOM?
NO.
NIGHT.
WELL, I THOUGHT YOU CAME TO CHECK ON ME.
I JUST DID.
YOU WANT YOUR OLD CASE?
SHIT.
I NEED TO ASK YOU A QUESTION.
SO...
ASK.
HAVE YOU BEEN HAVING DREAMS ABOUT DETECTIVE HANADARKO?
YEAH.
BEEN HAVING DREAMS ABOUT HANADARKO.
WEIRD DREAMS.
DID YOU EVER GRAB ONTO THE LEG OF WHITE BARSTOOL?
WHAT?
NO.
WERE YOU EVER IN A BAR?
WE WERE FLYING KITES.
SHE HAD THIS GOOFY-ASS FLOWER KITE.
IT GOT STUCK AGAINST THE CHIMNEY OF A HOUSE.
I HAD TO CRAWL UP ON THE ROOF, AND IT WAS SNOWING.
BUT THERE WAS A RAINBOW IN THE SKY, TOO.
-YOU HELPED HER GET HER KITE DOWN?
-YEAH.
ANOTHER DREAM -- SHE WAS TRYING TO PICK AN APPLE OFF A TREE, BUT SHE'S A SQUIRT.
SO I HAD TO PICK HER UP SO SHE COULD REACH THIS FAT-ASS GREEN APPLE.
INTERESTING.
WHAT, THE APPLE?
NO.YOU'RE HELPING HER.
IS SHE DREAMING ABOUT ME?
IS SHE?
IN HER DREAMS...
YOU WANT HER TO HELP YOU.
INTERESTING.
-EARL.
-EARL.
TO KILL ED IN A COP BAR AS THEIR WEDDING SONG PLAYS, SHE WOULD'VE HAD TO PAY, WHAT, 100 GRAND?
THE TWO OF THEM NEVER HAD MORE THAN 12 GRAND TOTAL.
SHE MOVE ANY MONEY AROUND?
I'M TELLING YOU -- NOTHING TO MOVE.
WHAT ABOUT ZEKE'S FINANCIALS?
HE'S WORSE OFF THAN I AM.
THAT'S -- THAT'S PTHY BAD.
YOU SEE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE QUARTERS?
-DIFFERENT YEARS.
-DIFFERENT YEARS.
SEE, EVERY TIME ZEKE FOUND A RARE COIN, HE TOOK IT,REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE -- SAME FACE VALUE, LOOKS THE SAME ON THE EVIDENCE LOG.
AND ZEKE POCKETS THE PROFITS.
HE SELLS THAT COIN COLLECTION.
MAYBE HE GETS ENOUGH MONEY FOR A HIT MAN?
NO, WE'RE TALKING LIKE 200 BUCKS, MAN.
HE -- HE STILL HAS GOT ALL THE COINS.
HE'S JUST A COLLECTOR, NOT A KILLER.

WE'RE GONNA FIND THAT LIST, AND THEN -- IT MAY TAKE US A COUPLE OF MONTHS -- BUT WE'LL FIND WHAT'S MISSING.
FIGURE OUT WHICH PIECES YOU SOLD OR TRADED.
WE FIND A HIT MAN LIKES TO DO CIVIL WAR RE-ENACTMENTS ON THE WEEKENDS.

DOES THIS MEAN I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL?
NOT TODAY.MAYBE NOT TOMORROW.
BUT, GRETCHEN...
I'M GONNA MAKE YOU ANOTHER PROMISE.

i booked in some evidence last week.
ed made me redo all my paperwork because the font size on my computer wasn't set to code.
well, we can't have font anarchy.
yeah.

oh, i can't wait to hear about that.
this is why you got the damn video camera.
how did you know i was here?
your partner helped me out.
ralph dewey.

why do you call him rafe?
i couldn't pronounce ralph when i was little.
that was fast.
huh?
shit!
go!
oh!
anything?
we got a shitload of cops out there.
killer either disappeared or he's still inside.
never thought i'd be afraid in a cop bar.
two hours ago, i said he was a horrible person.
you said he was a pain in the ass, and he was.
give me a break, madison.
you got a fresh cuton your hand.
i want to know how it got there.
bobby,there was a delivery guy, mid-20s, asian,brought in some beer.
you seen him?
no.
did you tell him about your fight?
what fight?
with ed,over louie's tip.
it wasn't a fight.
he -- he was just being ed.
he's a pain in the ass.
yeah, zeke here was right outside the bathroom door when i came out.
i almost ran into him.
i had to go to the bathroom.
butch, have you seen the delivery guy?
no.
here's some blood.
madison says he dropped his glass, cut his hand.
i heard something about you and ham in a stall during the murder.
shit!
what did you hear?
you know,you were servicing him. "
servicing"?
i was putting air in his tires?c-changing his oil?
would somebody please find out who's honking and tell him to cut it out?
it's ed's wife, waiting for him to drive her home.
mrs.
ligardi...
i'm detective hanadarko.
i need to speak to you about ed.
seven chapters.
could be a record...
waiting for ed.
never a dull moment in this one.
you like romance?
much as the next girl.
ed thinks it's stupid.
mrs.
ligardi...
ed's not coming out.
i'm sorry.
your husband's dead.
he's been murdered inside.
he died instantly.
we don't know what happened.
but we're not going to do anything else, none of us we're not gonna sleep until we find out.
you should sleep.
and you should eat well,too.
is there someone you'd like me to call?
relatives, anybody?
no.
i think i'd like to go home.
i'll get someone to drive you.
murder was at 11:03.
i was at the front door got about three minutes of rafe leaving.
then i took a couple of swings past the bar.
bathroom's in the it's blurry.
i'll get tech to take a look.
maybe they'll see something.
???
about a guy with dark hair, brown shirt?
yeah, dickie and cook.
didn't see his face.
is he on the tape?
not sure yet.
so, what's our story?
we were setting up a practical joke -- chocolate on the back of the toilet seat.
oh, shit.
civilian employee of the police department gets murdered in the men's room of a cop bar while said bar is literally full of the aforementioned cops, and -- oh, wait for it, now -- two of ocpd's finest are actually getting it on in the stall five feet away while the deceased is getting his throat slit.
did i miss anything?
um -- we were actu-- no, no.
that was rhetorical.
what happened after you found the body?
i checked the back door.
it was locked and the alarm was set, so i went to the front door and locked it.
could the killer have gotten out the front?
yeah,he had about a minute.
do we have any suspects,any leads, anybody other than everyone who hated ed?
we got places to start.
look, captain,we went in the bathroom to set up a practical joke.
someone came in, so we waited, thought he was taking a piss.
you and i worked the streets together for two years, grace.
you think i don't know your bullshit?
this is a problem, a problem i don't need.
now, solve this thing, get yourselves in check, and i might -- might -- not throw both of your asses off my squad.
shit, she's pissed.
we pulled her away from a date.
listen, i'm sorry.
this is my fault.
you got nothing to be sorry about, ham.
we didn't do anything wrong.
we were off duty.
we weren't even drunk.
so, you cool, then?
no, i am not cool, man!
ed was murdered five feet from us!
how is that cool?!
ham and i weren't screwing in the bathroom i wasn't giving him a blow job.
we were setting up a joke.
doesn'matter.
what matters is finding out who killed one of our own in our own house.
brought you this to make you feel more at home.
delivery guy's melvin wu -- no record.
he had six deliveries to make after louie's, never made them.
none of them?
shit.
last contact was 10:23.
he called when he got to louie's.
never gone awol before.
company's worried about him.
what about madison?
i got three people saw him cut himself on broken glass.
uh, henrhat the murder weapon was straight-edged.
bobby, you take melvin wu.
i already put out a bolo on him.
check with his family.
he's got a brother doing time.
zeke.
i got zeke, all right.
word is ed was gonna fire him, and zeke knew it.
uh-huh.
what about brown shirt?
all right, we got four people who saw this guy.
nobody got a good look at his face.
any of you see him?
how could some guy we don't know be in our bar, and we don't see him?
he's a ghost.
the kill was silent, fast.
he's gone in the night.
got to be a pro.
a pro's not gonna take a chance in a cop bar.
maybe it's a message.
is it about one of ed's cases?
someone's got a trial coming up, wants their evidence compromised.
why not kill the witness, the cop who busted you,the d.a.?
why kill the guy who files your evidence?
i mean, half the time,they don't even testify, man.
it's stipulated.
if ed was as well-loved outside of work as he was inside, it could have been a hired hit by a neighbor.
hi, mrs.
ligardi.
did you sleep?
i'm okay.how you doing?
Ed loved ocean sounds.
he was a great guy.
nobody liked him.
did you like him?
i respected his work ethic.
he liked you.
you bought a round of drinks once, and you included him.
ed ever mention anything,anyone?
he didn't like rhetta rodriguez.
why not?
said she was snippy.
* a goddess on a mountaintop * * was burning like a silver flame * * the summit of beauty and love * * and venus was her name * * she's got it * *h, baby,she's got it * * well, i'm your venus * * i'm your fire at your desire * * well, i'm your venus * * i'm your fire at your desire * hey.
he talks.
is that muddy waters?
you used to play guitar,right?
do you like the blues?
they got guitars in here,ain't they?
so what?
so why don't you pick one up and play it?
might make you feel better.
Just gonna lay there util they kill you?
maybe.
you haven't been outside in a month.
i go outside,feel the sun.
it just makes it harder coming back in here.
ain't prayed in a while,either.
where's your prayer mat?
i traded it for some smokes.
so you're giving up?
yeah.
yeah, i'm giving up.
all the appeals done died.
well, i ain't talking about your execution.
i'm talking about your spirit,your soul.
how you been sleeping lately?
why?
having weird dreams about that cop -- hanadarko.
you putting her in my head again?
ed slept in a nightshirt.
you see his apartment?
what was it like?
had a hamster named roland, collected civil war shit.
he and gretchen did re-enactments on the weekend every person on his block hated him.
he was still one of us.
yeah.you got something?
leon cooley's fingerprints were on the barstool at louie's.
rhetta.
you got something on ed?
did you hear what i said?
it wasn't a dream, grace.
leon cooley was there.
he's on death row,behind bars, but his fingerprints are on that barstool, exactly where you said.
unless he killed ed, i don't really give a shit do you have anything on ed or not?
ham's fingerprints are on the inside doorknob of the bathroom.
thanks.
perfect timing.
just talked to butch.
we're still looking for melvin wu.
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
whoa, check this out.
there's our ghost.
and here's our mummy.
defense attorney's gonna fry your ass.
i.a., my office, 3:00.
go home and shower,change your clothes, eat something,say a prayer.
oh, god.
ah, ah, ah.
we are so screwed.
ow.
don't have time today,earl.
i know.
i know this one's important to you.
well, they're all important to you.
you got a great big heart,grace.
what are you wearing?
oh.
how long it been since you slept?
why?
you waiting for me to fall asleep so you can screw with my dreams?
you know, there was this pharaoh, amenemhat wanted to ignore his dreams, too, but joseph stepped in, made him pay attention, and the entire nation of egypt was saved from famine.
no famine in o.k.
city.
yeah.not yet.
you trying to tell me you ain't the least bit curious about leon -- why god brought the two of you together?
i got to take a shower.
chocolate on the toilet seat,huh?
you like that?
you mean other than the fact it was a lie?
yeah, other than that.
i prefer tapioca pudding myself -- watch 'em really get upset.
DUDE,THAT'S LIKE A DOZEN EGGS.
COME ON, MAN -- EAT SOMETHING.
EAT!
AH, IT'S GONNA BE ROUGH GOING BACK TO MREs.
I SENT YOU MORE CRAP THAN YOU CAN EAT IN A MONTH, MARINE.
2 HOURS AND 51 MINUTES,COP, AND YOU AND YOUR BATHROOM LOVER ARE GONNA GET YOUR ASSES TORN APART.
ALL RIGHT, THANKS.
BLADE WAS RAZOR-SHARP --MAYBE A CERAMIC.
HEY, YOU GOT ANY SYRUP?
CERAMIC -- DEFINITELY,DEFINITELY PRO, MAN.
YEAH, THAT AND THE CUT -- DEEP, CLEAN, FAST,GOT BOTH CAROTIDS.
ED WAS DEAD BEFORE HE HIT THE FLOOR.
ONLY HE NEVER HIT THE FLOOR, MAN -- HE WAS LAID DOWN.
-YOU WANT SOME MORE BACON?
-MM.
IF THIS IS A REAL GHOST, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA FIND HIM.
WE FIND OUT WHO KILLED HIM,MAYBE WE DO.
FIND SOMEBODY WITH DOUGH.
GHOST IS GONNA WANT BIG BUCKS FOR A KILL IN A COP BAR.
HERE'S WHAT I GOT ON ZEKE.
-YOU WANT SOME MILK?
-YEAH, SURE.
OKAY,THERE'S A TEAM OF EIGHT THAT WORKS THE EVIDENCE ROOM, RIGHT?
ED CHECKS THEIR WORK TWICE A YEAR, FOR ZEKE, MAN --SEVEN AUDITS.
WELL, WE GOT MOTIVE, BUT WHERE'S ZEKE GET THE GHOST?
I MEAN,HOW DOES HE PAY FOR IT?
I KNOW A COUPLE DOZEN GUYS COULD DO IT.
MR.
SPEC OPS TOUGH GUY,RIGHT?
-I'M SERIOUS!
-UH-HUH.
WE ALL GET TRAINED TO KILL LIKE THAT.
GUYS COME HOME -- SOME OF THEM MAY HAVE TROUBLE FINDING A COMPATIBLE OCCUPATION.
WHAT, SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FRIEND OF YOURS?
I'D CHECK THE V.A.
HOSPITALS,SECURITY FIRMS, THE GUY ON THE STREET CORNER WITH A SIGN THAT SAYS,"HOMELESS VET NEEDS WORK."
BUT BE CAREFUL, THOUGH.
THE TRAINING THAT YOU GUYS GET COMPARED TO WHAT WE DO -- A LITTLE BIT LIKE SENDING A CHIHUAHUA IN TO FACE A ROTTWEILERSa -SAY WHAT?
-EASY, NOW.
CHIHUAHUAS CAN BE TOUGH.
WHAT, YOU THINK YOU'RE TOUGHER THAN ME, MAN?
'CAUSE I DON'T THINK SO,BRO.
I DON'T KNOW, BETTY CROCKER -- ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.
-ALL RIGHT, DUDE.
-BRING IT.

GIVE IT A LITTLE MORE, GIVE IT A LITTLE MORE.
-COME ON!
-COME ON!
COME ON.
AAH!
OH, SHIT.
RAFE, YOU OKAY?
I THINK YOU BROKE MY DAMN ARM.
YOU WERE GONNA SMEAR CHOCOLATE ON THE BACK OF THE TOILET SEAT?
CORRECT.
WITH YOUR SHIRT OFF?
ED WAS BLEEDING OUT.
I REMOVED MY SHIRT TO PRESS AGAINST THE WOUND.
WHERE'S THE CHOCOLATE?
WHERE'S THE CHOCOLATE?
I THREW IT AWAY.
IT WAS STARTING TO MELT.
SO MY GUESS IS THE CRIME LAB -- GETTING PROCESSED WITH EVERYTHING ELSE FROM THE TRASH CANS.
-RECOGNIZE THIS?
-YES.
IT'S A CONDOM.
YOUR PARTNER'S CONDOM?
IT WAS ON THE FLOOR OF THE BATHROOM STALL.
GUYS DROP THEIR PANTS.
IT FELL OUT OF SOMEONE'S POCKET.
-WERE YOU DRUNK?
-NO.
HOW MANY DRINKS YOU HAVE?
TWO BEERS,ONE SHOT OF WHISKEY.
A LOT OF WOMEN -- THEY'D BE DRUNK AFTER TWO BEERS, ONE SHOT OF WHISKEY.
WE DONE?
FOR NOW.
SHIT.
WHAT, IT WAS THAT BAD?
WHAT?NO, NO.
IT WAS BULLSHIT.
SO, YOU BROKE YOUR BROTHER'S ARM?
YEAH, I DROPPED HIM OFF AT THE E.R.
-- MAD AS HELL.
GET THAT OVER WITH, THEN MEET ME AT LOUIE'S.
WE GOT TO BE MISSING SOMETHING.
-YOU HEARD FROM BUTCH AND BOBBY?
-NO.
WE FOUND MELVIN WU.
MELVIN WAS METICULOUS.
WE GOT FOUR PRIOR DELIVERIES -- TIME IN, TIME OUT, GAS MILEAGE,TIME EN ROUTE.
HE GOT TO LOUIE'S AT 10:23 -- NOTHING AFTER AT.
THE MILEAGE IS 97,651.
STILL IS -- HE MUST HAVE DROVE STRAIGHT HERE.
IT'S THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF HIS NEXT DELIVERY.
THAT LOOKS THE SAME.
M.E.
SAY HOW LONG HE'S BEEN DEAD?
16 TO 20 HOURS.
18 HOURS AGO HE WAS AT LOUIE'S.
MUSTT EN THE GHOST.
THE GHOST KNEW IT -- MADE HIM DRIVE OUT HERE,KILLED HIM.
THE KID WAS IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME.
I'LL STOP BY SONIC -- GET YOU A CHILI CHEESE DOG AND SOME ICE CREAM, MAN.
YEAH.
DUDE, AH, ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, LATER.
HOW'S HE DOING?
HIS ULNA'S SNAPPED,WON'T TAKE HIS PAIN MEDS, AND HE'S GOING FOR A RUN.
DAMN.
THAT'S NOT HIS FIRST BROKEN BONE.
FOUR BOYS -- YOU HAD TO BE IN THE E.R.
TWICE A WEEK.
YOU'VE BEEN ARM WRESTLING RAFE SINCE YOU COULD WALK.
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT,RIGHT?
YEAH.
YEAH, IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.
WHEN I HEARD THAT POP, I KIND OF FLASHED ON THAT MAYBE THEY'D KEEP HIM HOME.
BUT HE LOVES IT, YOU KNOW?
I MEAN,HE DOESN'T LOVE IT, BUT HE BELIEVES IN WHAT HE'S DOING.
YOU WANT HIM HOME, YOU GOT TO GO FOR THE FULL-BODY CAST.
HOW'D IT GO WITH I.A.?
THEY CAN'T PROVE IT, BUT I GUESS I DROPPED A CONDOM AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT.
SHIT.
ALL RIGHT,ED WALKED TOWARD THE CAN.
THE KILLER MUST HAVE BEEN BEHIND ED -- SLIPPED IN WHEN HE OPENED THE DOOR.
IF THE KILLER WAS THAT CLOSE, ED WOULD HAVE POPPED HIM.
DOOR OPENS.
WE HEAR THE MUSIC, NOISE,THEN IT CLOSES.
I HEARD ONE SET OF FOOTSTEPS,THEN NOTHING.
YEAH, ME TOO.
ED NEVER MAKES IT TO THE URINAL.
THE KIacOES HIM, LAYS HIM DOWN, EXITS.
IF HE'S A PRO, HE KNOWS WE'RE INSIDE.
HE'S BEEN WATCHING ED, WATCHING THE BATHROOM, KNOWS WE'RE UNDER THE RADAR, WON'T RISK GETTING CAUGHT -- ASSHOLE KNOWS HE'S SAFE.
OKAY, WE COME OUT OF THE STALL.
GO.
I GO TO THE RIGHT.
ZEKE'S WALKING TOWARD ME.
ZEKE DIDN'T SEE THE KILLER, OR HE'D BE DEAD, TOO.
YEAH, I GO TO THE BACK DOOR -- BACK DOOR'S LOCKED.
THE ALARM'S SET, SO I HEAD TO THE FRONT.
WERE YOU RUNNING?
YEAH, I TELL LOUIE, "LOCK THE PLACE UP.
GET BOBBY AND BUTCH -- TELL THEM WE GOT A CRIME SCENE."
AND I HEAD OUTSIDE.
I STAY WITH ED MAYBE TWO MINUTES -- NOTHING I CAN DO.
ALL OF A SUDDEN,THERE'S QUIET -- LIKE DEAD QUIET.
NO MUSIC.
I TOLD BUTCH TO UNPLUG THE JUKEBOX.
* AT YOUR DESIRE * * WELL, I'M YOUR VENUS * * I'M YOUR FIRE AT YOUR DESIRE * COFFEE?
I'M AFRAID I MIGHT TINKLE.
DANISH?
ED SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN LOUIE'S -- MEANS YOU SPENT A LOT OF TIME WAITING IN THE PARKING LOT.
I DIDN'T MIND.
HE'D CALL ME WHEN HE WAS READY TO COME HOME.
I'D BRING A BOOK.
SOMETIMES I'D BRING ROLAND.
I'M REALLY GLAD I DIDN'T BRING HIM LAST NIGHT.
NO KIDDING.
HOW WAS YOUR MARRIAGE?
WERE YOU STILL IN LOVE?
HE WAS ALLERGIC TO DOGS.
AND YOU WANTED A DOG?
WE SETTLED ON ROLAND.
BUT HAVING A HAMSTER -- THAT'S NOT THE SAME THING AS HAVING A DOG.
I NEVER ASKED YOU WHY...
YOU SANG "VENUS" TO ED IN THE MORGUE.
THAT WAS THE FIRST SONG WE DANCED TO AT OUR WEDDING.
YOU KNOW A FUNNY THING?WHAT?
THAT SONG WAS PLAYING IN LOUIE'S WHEN ED'S THROAT WAS SLICED OPEN.
I DID IT.
I ??
SOMEONE TO KILL HIM.
WHY?
'CAUSE HE WAS GONNA RETIRE, AND I JUST COULDN'T STAND THE THOUGHT OF HIM BEING AROUND ALL THE TIME.
LET ME STATE FOR THE RECORD THAT GRETCHEN LIGARDI HAS WAIVED HER RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY.
IS THAT CORRECT,MRS.
LIGARDI?
YES, IT IS.
PLEASE STEP FORWARD WHEN I CALL YOUR NUMBER.
NUMBER ONE.
THIS IS...RAM ALVAREZ.
HE'S MY GARDENER.
AND ON FEBRUARY 24th,YOU PAID HIM...
$75.
TO DO WHAT,MRS.
LIGARDI?
TO KILL MY HUSBAND,ED LIGARDI.
WAS THERE ANY OTHER FORM OF COMPENSATION?
A TUNA SANDWICH.
NUMBER TWO.
CLAUDE ELLER.
AND HOW DO YOU ??
OH, HE'S THE BUSBOY AT CAF?LA ROSE.
AND?
AND I PAID HIM $50 TO KILL MY HUSBAND.
-NUMBER -- -AND...
A CARROT CAKE.
NUMBER THREE.
I DON'T REMEMBER HIS NAME.
HE -- HE LIVES AT THE END OF MY BLOCK.
YOU KNOW HIM BECAUSE...
WELL, I GAVE HIM A CERTIFICATE FOR A DOZEN TICKETS TO THE LOCAL CINEPLEX IN EXCHANGE FOR WHICH HE WOULD KILL MY HUSBAND,ED LIGARDI.
NUMBER FOUR.
JASON SOMETHING.
HE'S A TELLER AT MY BANK, AND I OPENED UP A CHECKING ACCOUNT WITH THE ASSURANCE THAT HE WOULD KILL MY HUSBAND,ED LIGARDI.
WAS THERE ANYONE ELSE YOU COMPENSATED ??
NO, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT.
MRS.
LIGARDI...
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THESE MEN TOOK YOU SERIOUSLY OR NOT, YOUR REQUEST OF THEM WAS ENTIRELY SERIOUS, RIGHT?
YES, IT WAS.
-WHY?
-WHY WAS IT SERIOUS?
WHY DID YOU WANT THEM TO KILL YOUR HUSBAND?
WELL,HAVE YOU EVER MET ED?
-O, SHE'S CRAZY.
-IKE A FOX.
SHE WAS IN THE CAR WAITING.
GIVES HER THE PERFECT "ABILI."
-LIBI.
-THAT'S WHAT I SAID.
GRETCHEN GAVE HER ORDERS -- DO IT AT LOUIE'S, MAKE SURE THE LAST THING ED HEARS IS THEIR SONG.
THAT'S COLD, MAN.
SO, HOW'D SHE AFFORD A HIT MAN?
I DON'T KNOW.
GOT TO GET THEIR FINANCIAL RECORDS AND -- YOU GOT SOME...HERE.
THANKS, MAN.
WHY WOULD GRETCHEN CONFESS?
-BOBBY!
-MM!
TRAINED NOT SLEEP, MY ASS.
GUYS, COME ON.
WE GOT TO NAIL GRETCHEN.
THIS IS SERIOUS SHIT.
I'M AWAKE.
WHAT WERE WE TALKING ABOUT?
UH, WHY WOULD GRETCHEN CONFESS?
MAYBE SHE TALKED TO THOSE FOUR DICKHEADS SO IF WE EVER FIND THE PRO, SHE COULD JUST SAY... "
NO ONE EVER TAKES ME SERIOUSLY.
I DIDN'T HE WOULD,EITHER."
-EXACTIMO.
-WHO WOULD? "
HERE'S 50 BUCKS AND A CARROT CAKE.
GO KILL MY HUSBAND."
YOU GOT NO CASE AGAINST THIS WOMAN.
HEY, SHE PAID THEM.
SHE ENTERED A LEGAL CONTRACT.
THAT'S ATTEMPTED MURDER -- SOLICITATION AT THE LEAST.
D.A.
WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
MRS.
LIGARDI DID NOTHING IN FURTHERANCE OF THE CRIME.
SHE DIDN'T GIVE ANY OF THOSE FOUR GUYS A PICTURE OF ED.
SHE NEVER TALKED ABOUT METHOD, TIME, OR LOCATION.
SHE DID WITH THE GHOST.GOT PROOF?
NOT YET.
BUT VICAP's GOT TWO IDENTICAL UNSOLVED MURDERS -- ONE MIAMI, ONE D.C.
DETECTIVES THERE GOT NOTHIN' YET, BUT WE GOT -- YOU -- YOU GOT A SONG.
-HUH?
-THAT'S YOUR CASE.
WHAT ABOUT ZEKE DJYBUK?
HAVE YOU EXCLUDED HIM YET?
NOT TILL WE FIGURE OUT WHY ED WAS FIXING TO FIRE HIM.
-LOOK, CAPTAIN -- -WELL, THEN FIGURE IT OUT.
JESUS, PEOPLE, YOU THINK THAT GRETCHEN LIGARDI DID THIS?
THEN GET ME PROOF OF PAYMENT, ND THE GHOST, DO SOMETHING, OR THE D.A.
WON'T FILE.
BUTCH, WIPE THAT INK OFF YOUR FACE, AND GET THAT TOILET OUT OF MY SQUAD ROOM!
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, WELL, I SAY, I VOTE WE FINISH UP WITH OLD ZEKE, GO DOWN THE FRUIT STAND FOR SMOOTHIES ALL 'ROUND ON ME.
GOOSEBERRY FOR ME, GRACE.
ED AUDITED ZEKE SEVEN TIMES -- SEVEN TIMES.
IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT CONTENTS OF SUSPECT'S POCKETS.
IT WAS QUARTERS,DIMES, PENNIES.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE ED THOUGHT ZEKE WAS STEALING SOMETHING, BUT, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, NOT A COIN WAS MISSING.
THAT'S WHAT ED'S FIGHT WITH ZEKE WAS ABOUT IN LOUIE'S -- A QUARTER!
I THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT A TIP.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
BUT ED SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED --BOBBY!
THIS IS GOOD, GUYS.
THIS IS A LEAD.
ED SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED A QUARTER.
HE WAS EXAMINING ONE.
ZEKE TOLD HIM TO PUT IT DOWN.
LET'S KEEP GOING WITH THIS.IT'S GOOD.
I GOT TO ASK PERRY SOMETHING.
WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD FROM I.A.?
LAST I HEARD,HE WAS ON HIS WAY DOWN TO THE CRIME LAB TO CHECK THE CONTENTS OF THE TRASH CANS FROM LOUIE'S.
??
I SE GONNA FIND CHOCOLATE?
YEAH.
GOOD.ANYTHING ELSE?
PILLOW TALK WITH I.A.
THAT'S DANGEROUS, KATE.
I GOT TO KNOW YOU STILL HAVE OUR BACK.
YEAH.

* * HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON * -HEY, CHUCK.
-HEY, GRACE.
YOU GOT HAM IN THERE?
UH, YEAH,HE'S BACK IN THERE SOMEWHERE.
HEY.
SHIT.
HAM.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I'M STILL SLOGGING THROUGH ZEKE'S AUDITS.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
GRETCHEN'S FINANCIALS ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY.
I THOUGHT I'D CHECK ON YOU AND ZEKE.
WHO'S LEON COOLEY?
OLD CASE, SIMILAR M.O.
HEY, YOU EVER DONE IT IN THE EVIDENCE ROOM?
NO.
NIGHT.
WELL, I THOUGHT YOU CAME TO CHECK ON ME.
I JUST DID.
YOU WANT YOUR OLD CASE?
SHIT.
I NEED TO ASK YOU A QUESTION.
SO...
ASK.
HAVE YOU BEEN HAVING DREAMS ABOUT DETECTIVE HANADARKO?
YEAH.
BEEN HAVING DREAMS ABOUT HANADARKO.
WEIRD DREAMS.
DID YOU EVER GRAB ONTO THE LEG OF WHITE BARSTOOL?
WHAT?
NO.
WERE YOU EVER IN A BAR?
WE WERE FLYING KITES.
SHE HAD THIS GOOFY-ASS FLOWER KITE.
IT GOT STUCK AGAINST THE CHIMNEY OF A HOUSE.
I HAD TO CRAWL UP ON THE ROOF, AND IT WAS SNOWING.
BUT THERE WAS A RAINBOW IN THE SKY, TOO.
-YOU HELPED HER GET HER KITE DOWN?
-YEAH.
ANOTHER DREAM -- SHE WAS TRYING TO PICK AN APPLE OFF A TREE, BUT SHE'S A SQUIRT.
SO I HAD TO PICK HER UP SO SHE COULD REACH THIS FAT-ASS GREEN APPLE.
INTERESTING.
WHAT, THE APPLE?
NO.YOU'RE HELPING HER.
IS SHE DREAMING ABOUT ME?
IS SHE?
IN HER DREAMS...
YOU WANT HER TO HELP YOU.
INTERESTING.
-EARL.
-EARL.
TO KILL ED IN A COP BAR AS THEIR WEDDING SONG PLAYS, SHE WOULD'VE HAD TO PAY, WHAT, 100 GRAND?
THE TWO OF THEM NEVER HAD MORE THAN 12 GRAND TOTAL.
SHE MOVE ANY MONEY AROUND?
I'M TELLING YOU -- NOTHING TO MOVE.
WHAT ABOUT ZEKE'S FINANCIALS?
HE'S WORSE OFF THAN I AM.
THAT'S -- THAT'S PTHY BAD.
YOU SEE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE QUARTERS?
-DIFFERENT YEARS.
-DIFFERENT YEARS.
SEE, EVERY TIME ZEKE FOUND A RARE COIN, HE TOOK IT,REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE -- SAME FACE VALUE, LOOKS THE SAME ON THE EVIDENCE LOG.
AND ZEKE POCKETS THE PROFITS.
HE SELLS THAT COIN COLLECTION.
MAYBE HE GETS ENOUGH MONEY FOR A HIT MAN?
NO, WE'RE TALKING LIKE 200 BUCKS, MAN.
HE -- HE STILL HAS GOT ALL THE COINS.
HE'S JUST A COLLECTOR, NOT A KILLER.
I HOPE HE DOESN'T WANT A RECOMMENDATION FOR HIS NEXT JOB.
SHIT.
WE GOT SOMEONE ELSE WITH A COLLECTION, DUDES.
HEY, YOU HEADING OUT ALREADY?
YEAH.
THANKS FOR THE GOING-AWAY PRESENT.
WELL, YOU'RE KEEPING ME OFF THE FRONTLINES FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS...
BUT NOT OUT OF THE WAR.
I LOVE YOU, BRO.
I LOVE YOU, TOO, MAN.
TAKE CARE OF THIS GUY.
HE'S A BIG PUSSY.
-WE'LL PRAY FOR YOU.
-THANK YOU.
STAY SAFE.
LITTLE HOMETOWN LOVE.
PUT IT RIGHT BETWEEN THE RIBS OF ONE OF THEM AL-QAEDA SHITHEADS.
YOU GOT IT.
He's a pussy, but I got his back.
-ALL RIGHT.
-I'LL WALK YOU OUT, MAN.
THANKS, GUYS.SEE YA.
GET A WARRANT.
I KNOW HOW GRETCHEN GOT THE CASH TO PAY THE GHOST.
OH.
I THINK I'LL REDECORATE.
YOU STAYED MARRIED TO ED FOR 37 YEARS.
WHY DIDN'T YOU DIVORCE HIM?
HE WOULD'VE BEEN SO HURT.
AS -- AS OPPOSED TO ALMOST SLICING HIS HEAD OFF?
OH, I...
ARE YOU BUTCH ADA?
YES, MA'AM.
ED SAID YOU WERE A PRETTY BOY.
AND BOBBY STILLWATER.
HE THOUGHT YOU SHOULD CUT YOUR HAIR.
HAM DEWEY.
ARE ANY OF YOU BOYS CIVIL WAR BUFFS?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO PICK OUT SOMETHING?
NO, BUT WE NEED TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AROUND, MRS.
LIGARDI.
WELL, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
ED'S INVENTORY LIST.
E-EXCUSE ME?
YOU'RE GONNA SAY YOU GAVE SOME PIECES AWAY -- CAN'T REMEMBER WHO YOU GAVE THEM TO.
I HAVE BEEN IN A FOG.
KNOWING ED,HE FILED HIS COLLECTION SAME WAY HE DID EVIDENCE -- PERFECTLY.
WE'RE GONNA FIND THAT LIST, AND THEN -- IT MAY TAKE US A COUPLE OF MONTHS -- BUT WE'LL FIND WHAT'S MISSING.
FIGURE OUT WHICH PIECES YOU SOLD OR TRADED.
WE FIND A HIT MAN LIKES TO DO CIVIL WAR RE-ENACTMENTS ON THE WEEKENDS.
MAYBE THIS GUY?
DOES THIS MEAN I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL?
NOT TODAY.MAYBE NOT TOMORROW.
BUT, GRETCHEN...
I'M GONNA MAKE YOU ANOTHER PROMISE.
YOU'RE GONNA DIE IN THE STOCKADE.
SO...
I CAN GET A DOG.
CAN I -- CAN I GO TO THE POUND RIGHT NOW?
YOU GOT SOMEBODY YOU CAN GIVE HIM TO WHEN YOU GO TO PRISON?
* GODDESS ON A MOUNTAINTOP * * I'M YOUR VENUS * * I'M YOUR FIRE AT YOUR DESIRE * * I'M YOUR VENUS * * I'M YOUR FIRE AT YOUR DESIRE * I CAN'T SEE A DAMN THING, EARL.
