Detective Rush, Cold Jobs.
Uh, Roy Minard.
Uh, fallen from grace.
[laughing]
- Is that right? - Yes.
You're looking at a ruined man, I'm afraid.
- Want to sit down? - Thank you.
I was a, uh..
I was a professor at the University
enjoying a quiet life of arts and sciences
when I became embroiled... in a murder case.
My unfortunate role was as the number one suspect.
Who had the unfortunate role of victim?
Uh..
Holly Richardson.
Here. She was one of my students.
Very promising young mind.
- Killed on campus? - Nine years ago.
Whipped and strangled with a car antenna.
Awful.
Well, there must have been a reason you were investigated.
And one reason only.
Holly and I were having an affair.
Ah.
Which I lied about at the time.
Why?
Why does a philanderer lie?
I was married.
- Ashamed of my behavior. - Covering your tracks.
And my dishonesty on that matter was seen as guilt
in this far more serious charge.
The, uh, press went to town.
My wife and child left town.
And I was soon relieved of my professorship
and banned from the campus.
Well, you're here talking to me
so clearly you weren't convicted of anything.
Not in a court of law.
And you're innocent, of course.
You've heard of Richard Jewell?
Yeah.
He and I would have a lot to talk about.
So, why come in today, Roy?
Uh, I found this..
...in the newspaper.
A prostitute in Norristown was killed and dumped
in the Schuylkill two weeks ago. Same as Holly.
A lot of bodies are dumped in the river.
Yes, but this one was also killed
with a car antenna.
I saw that and I, uh, I thought
maybe I've found my one-armed man.
Now, you're Richard Kimble.
If there is a connection
maybe you can solve two murders.
And save my life in the process.
[theme music]
[music continues]
"Holly Richardson, 21.
"Killed in West Philly, May '95.
"14 lashes with an antenna
before he strangled her with it."
Little humiliation before the grand finale.
Yeah, dumped in the Schuylkill.
Doer was probably trying to wash away evidence.
Uh, they found semen.
- Oh, Professor Minard's? - 'Yep.'
So, they did it the night of the murder.
Outside of that, what do we got?
He and Holly were at the same party
at the Elizabethan Club.
Some people saw them having words.
Words?
I love how them Ivy Leaguers talk.
They had a fight, okay, dummy?
Okay, so that's the whole case?
- That's about it. - 'That's nothing.'
Why'd this guy get the pinch?
He lied about the affair till the DNA came back.
Then, he changed his story.
How's the Norristown murder come into play?
This hooker job had a pretty similar MO.
The antenna, the river dump.
Worth getting a look at that Norristown file.
Vera won't mind taking a ride.
This professor still teaching Art History?
- English as a second language. - Step or two down.
Paid a high price if he's innocent.
Or if he's guilty he's got a lot of free years.
So, we reinvestigate him, too.
Hi, we meet again. Excuse me.
Professor Minard, my partner Scotty Valens.
- Hi. - Thank you.
Well, you're very kind to call me "Professor"
but around here I'm, I'm just Mr. Roy.
Yeah, okay.
So, does this visit mean there was something
to my amateur detective's theory?
We don't know yet.
I've spent a lot of time of the last nine years
reading mystery novels. I thought, maybe
I was getting carried away.
(Valens) 'Uh, we haven't seen the file from Norristown yet.'
But, uh, we were wondering where you were..
...the, uh, night that hooker got killed.
Right, um..
I teach here nights, Monday through Thursday.
- What night was she killed? - It was a Tuesday.
Then, I was here.
22 other witnesses will tell you the same
in, in broken but improving English.
Lying about your affair with Holly
got you in a lot of hot water.
I was arrogant.
Bill Clinton lied to America about the intern.
I lied to Philadelphia.
And you both got caught in the end.
I wouldn't do it again.
DNA...will get you every time.
So, when Holly was killed
how were you two getting along?
Well, in my first statement I said things were great.
Hmm, I know.
But to be honest, there was some tension.
If I had a small dinner party, would you come?
Small, as in you and me?
Maybe, six people or eight.
- No, I wouldn't. - Why not?
Holly.
There are rules.
Well, I want to see you in public.
You can't.
God, don't you ever even
think about me outside this office?
Sure, thinking is perfectly fair.
Seeing each other outside of these four walls..
...is not possible.
What if I don't like those rules anymore?
Sounds like you laid it out pretty clear.
My campus and my home life stayed separate.
No contact outside of office hours.
Is that what you called it?
Not even phone calls.
Here's the deal, Roy.
If we're gonna look at this case again
you gotta be an open book this time.
Done. In fact..
- Here it is. - 'What is this?'
It's a list of women who were also--
Conquests?
Did you offer these names in the first investigation?
No, I was pretending Holly was the only one.
They'll probably badmouth me.
You'll hear a lot about bad behavior
but nothing that says murder.
I was sick in love with that jerk.
I see you took two different art history
courses with him, spring of '92.
Hmm, 'cause I couldn't get enough of him.
You know how vile it is
to know you were with a murderer?
Now why do you think he's a murderer?
I read the papers. He told City Magazine
he didn't do anything to "Hurt that girl."
Pretty strange word choice, don't you think?
Well, was he ever violent with you?
No.
- Possessive? Scary, at all? - No.
But you still think maybe he could have whipped
and strangled this Holly to death.
I read the papers.
He toyed with me my whole sophomore year.
Treated you bad?
Like a piece of ass.
Seduced me with poetry and wine during office hours.
Pretended not to know me if I saw him on campus.
You think he murdered Holly?
He got a lawyer pretty fast.
I'll tell you a secret, Monique.
That's actually the smart thing to do.
Seems like the guilty thing to do, to me.
Roy Minard?
I wouldn't say that name too loudly around here.
We need to know about your relationship with him.
In '94?
I'm on the faculty now.
It'd be bad for me if that got out.
Is that why you kept it from the police nine years ago?
I was never asked.
Look, this isn't popular opinion around campus
but Roy didn't kill Holly.
You don't think so?
He was unethical but he's not a murderer.
You didn't think he was unethical in '94.
I didn't really get what an abuse
it was until I started teaching.
It's just so easy to impress students.
And Roy's very charismatic.
We've met him.
Did you know Holly Richardson?
I tried to warn her not to get in too deep with Roy.
I talked to her that night at the Elizabethan Club.
[Adam Ant singing "Wonderful"]
[grunting]
Haven't seen you all day. How're you doin'?
♪ Did I tell you that I was wrong ♪
♪ I was wrong ♪
It's not so easy seeing them in the flesh, is it?
- What? - 'The wife, the kid.'
(Holly) 'No, it's not.'
Holly, this time last year
I was standing right where you are.
Did you feel like you'd just been hit by a truck?
Yeah. He's happy with them. He won't leave.
Why does he have affairs if he's so happy?
(female #1) 'I don't know his psychology.'
But there's a new girl every year.
And the year's almost over.
I think it's different this time.
I felt for her. I-I was her at one point.
But she was upset at him. Not the other way around.
So, after two hours of making copies
of every page from this Norristown job--
Stillman told us about the flat tire.
Yeah, that precinct's copier was from the mimeograph era.
Look, guys, it was bad luck.
Yeah, well, we finish up your dog call.
Finally, get out of traffic on Ridge Pike.
Prostitute's name was Lenore Grandy.
And bam! And we were in the fast lane.
Vera, Jeffries, thank you.
You risked your very lives for this job.
Hey, guys, can we talk about Lenore Grandy now?
Whipped 14 times with a car antenna
then strangled with it.
And dumped in the Schuylkill.
That's just like Holly.
Here's the money.
Lenore...Holly..
- Wow. - Yeah.
- Gotta be the same doer. - How did no one catch this?
Different counties. Computers don't talk.
Roy Menard have an alibi for the second murder?
He was teaching his class that night. It checked out.
Maybe, he did get the jewel treatment.
[printer whirring]
- Got something we can work. - Yeah.
Cross-referenced the names from vice sweeps in Norristown
with the university alumni records.
Two hits.
Clarence Grimes. Graduated 20 years ago.
(Jeffries) 'He wouldn't know Holly.'
Yeah, but Barry Tepler would.
He was in school same time as her.
He only lives eight blocks from where Lenore was dumped.
I don't have...people over.
We're here about Holly Richardson.
- Don't bring her up. - Why not?
I'd stay away from Holly, just like she told me to.
Holly told you to stay away, Barry?
She invited me home for Thanksgiving.
I misinterpreted her gesture of friendship..
...for a-a deeper interest
but I changed my behavior when she relayed her true feelings.
- Your therapist tell you that? - Or a lawyer?
When she asked me
to leave her alone... I did.
♪ You say ♪
♪ I only hear what I want to.. ♪
- Hi. - What you doin' here?
I go to school here.
Well, you don't have any classes in Williams Hall.
- I wanted to see you. - Barry, you're following me.
I like you.
I'm not interested in you in that way.
You took me to meet your parents.
It was Thanksgiving.
You had nowhere else to go.
Well, can we talk about it, or--
No. Nope.
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't want you to call me or follow me.
Uh-huh.
And I don't want any more letters.
- Those are yours. - No, they're yours.
♪ Yeah I missed you ♪
♪ You say.. ♪♪
(Valens) 'So, you stalked Holly?'
I pursued her with too much enthusiasm.
You still have those letters, Barry?
No.
You save dental reminders from three years ago
but not those letters?
I...I was in my dorm room when she was killed.
Where were you when Lenore Grandy was killed?
- I don't know who that is. - A hooker.
Murdered December 30, eight blocks from here.
That's a Tuesday. Tuesdays I paint.
I have therapy at five
then I go to Wawa for a Red Bull.
Uh, get a Newsweek, I'm home by 10:00.
Plenty of time for prostitutes in that schedule.
I don't use prostitutes.
Risperdal. You got schizophrenia?
- Yeah. - Hear voices?
God talking through the garbage?
- I'm better now. - It's tough getting better.
You stop taking these
you can fall into psychotic behavior.
I take 'em.
Or maybe, you lapsed right around December 30
voices started saying you should hurt that hooker.
I don't go near those whores!
Yeah, he comes here all the time.
Hangs around and tries to talk to us.
He ever talk to your friend Lenore?
Oh, he especially liked her.
Stared at her from across the street.
- He the one killed her? - Uh, we don't know.
I figured it was a bad John who did it.
Alright. This kid was never Lenore's trick?
Mm-mm. He walked up to her once, though.
Said he loved her flaxen hair
and asked would she go back with him.
- She go? - Hell, no!
He didn't have no money.
Man! I never would've thought it could've been this creep.
We don't know that it is, Trish.
You know, I thought you guys would've blown Lenore off.
Dead hooker, who cares?
No one's getting blown off.
Come here. I wanna show you something.
Get in.
Hey! Not you, her.
Tight fit in here, huh?
I'm not staying anywhere right now.
Lenore and me met while we was studying to be beauticians.
We hit if off right away.
Look. That's us.
Mm-hmm. Best friends, huh?
Figured you should have a real picture of her
not some mug shot.
- What's this one? - Oh, Lenore had this rich John.
He was gonna divorce, so he gave Lenore the diamond earrings
he had just bought for his wife.
- Nice. - Yeah.
Instead of just keeping it for herself, she gives me one.
We made friendship rings... but for the belly.
Lenore had the other one, huh?
She wore it all the time.
Any mention of a diamond belly ring in the Norristown report?
Uh, no. Doer probably took it.
[knock on door]
- You the detectives? - Rush and Valens.
This is difficult for us.
- We only had one child. - We understand.
We already know who killed our daughter.
Uh, we have another suspect we wanna ask you about.
Hmm. Maybe, I wasn't clear.
Roy Minard killed Holly.
Maybe, I wasn't clear.
We're Homicide and we're looking at someone else.
- Who? - Barry Tepler.
He went to college with Holly.
He was here for Thanksgiving.
That kid was harmless.
Mr. Richardson, if someone else is responsible
don't you want to know that?
I know who killed Holly. A father knows.
[sighing]
Well, Barry was infatuated with your daughter.
So was Minard.
(Holly) 'I'll come back early, if you break the rules'
and come see a movie with me in public.
I gotta go. My mom has the cake out.
- Is that for me? - Yeah.
[laughing]
A ticket to Paris?
[laughing]
- Who was that on the phone? - A friend from school.
A man called for you earlier.
Dad, I'm not a kid.
Then talk to me like an adult.
Um, he is my Art History professor.
He seduced her.
He fell in love with her.
And who wouldn't?
'She was just so damn special.'
Thought you kept your home and campus life separate, Roy.
Not even a phone call. Ain't that what he said?
That's right.
Except you called Holly on her birthday.
- At her parents' house. - That's right, I did.
Open book.
- Remember, Roy? - I'd forgotten about that.
And maybe you were a little more invested in Holly
than you're tellin' us.
You got some other motive here, Minard?
My motive was to get my life and my career back.
As far as the phone call's concerned, Holly..
...insisted that I call her on her birthday.
Said if didn't, she was going to call me.
So what? You said your wife knew about the affairs.
Knowing about it in the back of your mind
and hearing a girl's voice on the line
they're two different things.
(Rush) 'Holly told her dad she broke things off'
with you in April.
But you were still going strong in May.
You'd tell your dad the truth about your sex life?
What's all that?
Two hundred and twenty-eight..
...articles on Roy Minard.
Murderer.
"President's Award for an Outstanding Lecturer."
Why can't they put that on the news?
People like a story.
You're a postmodernist.
A what?
Well, that's the crux of the theory, anyway.
Social construction of reality.
- What are you talking about? - Society needs a narrative.
You know, given seemingly random facts and events
we need to weave them into a story.
Otherwise, the world wouldn't make any sense.
I can see that.
How do we process this beautiful young girl dying?
We can't.
Not without a perpetrator.
And so, if one isn't obvious, we find one.
We assign the blame. It makes the story complete.
It's an action. Explanation. Order restored.
Why people gotta believe in God, too.
Mm-hmm, exactly.
Too many un-answerables without him.
Makes some sense.
Well, I'd be even more fascinated if I weren't
the foil of it all, but, yes, it does.
It makes some sense.
(Rush) 'Kite!'
Uh, office is closed, Rush.
Seven O'clock?
Yeah, well, spare me mantra.
"When your day ends, ours just begins."
- It's true. - Yeah, I've seen the T-shirt.
Well, I don't know what I'd do with myself
if I went home at 7:00.
Uh, you remember the Holly Richardson job?
Yeah, everybody wanted that one.
Why? There's nothing on it.
Pretty Ivy League girl, philandering professor
kind of case gets you on Court TV.
Where you'd look like a fool
'cause the Commonwealth had crap?
I guess. Have you eaten?
Uh, look, I need a search warrant on this kid Barry.
Um, do you know any Norristown DA's?
- 'Cause I haven't eaten. - I need it right away.
This kid knows we're looking at him.
Sit with me. We'll run the case.
Or we can do it tomorrow. I've got 15 minutes at 4:30.
[chuckles]
[groaning]
Barry Tepler fits for both jobs.
Huh, I got a narrative on him.
A what?
A story that adds up.
He had it bad for Holly, right?
Gets rejected by her
then he's hanging around this hooker
Lenore, the last few months.
Who he claims he didn't know.
Who also rejected him.
Both girls end up dead in the water.
Well, if he's so in love with 'em
why no sexual element to these murders?
Well, Barry's schizophrenic.
A lot of people with that condition, no sex drive.
And the voices you hear, they're powerful.
They tell you to kill someone, you do it.
You're knowledgeable, huh?
Yeah.
I know someone.
Where's Lil?
Uh, she's getting a warrant for Barry's.
To find the hooker's belly ring, those letters to Holly.
Maybe he starts ownin' up.
Huh. Alright. Goodnight, Scotty.
Yeah.
So, Roy Minard is innocent after all?
I don't assume anything.
But this Barry kid makes..
...more sense.
So what's he like, Minard?
Kind of a cad.
But a charming one?
I guess.
So you figure a guy's bad news if he mixes work and pleasure?
I don't have a big opinion on that.
Hmm.
So, uh, I'll call this Norristown guy in the morning.
How come we always talk about work?
'Cause we work together.
Well, tell me something personal.
No.
Why not?
Come on, Rush. Why not?
[laughing] Because..
I'm bad at it. And..
I gotta go.
- Well, let me walk you. - I'll be fine!
- I'm packin'. - Uh, watch..
I know.
Stand still, okay?
What are you doing?
I'm gonna kiss you.
- No. - Just give it a try.
[laughing ] A try..
- Come on. - Come on, Rush.
All you, gotta do is stand there.
Don't panic.
It's over in three seconds.
[instrumental music]
[music continues]
Um..
So, sit with that overnight and, uh
see how...it settles in.
Ahem.
[music continues]
Everything has its place. Everything has its..
Everything has its place!
(Rush) 'Read the warrant. We got a right.'
Why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong?
You lied about that flaxen-haired hooker.
- Asking her home and all. - I just wanted to paint her.
Pay dirt.
Guess you lied about having these letters to Holly, too.
Please don't take those.
Got to read 'em, Barry.
They sent you to ruin my life.
I know.
They watch outside in the shadows
in the closet, behind the coats..
Stress is bringing on an episode.
You think I can't hear them?
Take him out for some air, will you?
That high pitch? Huh?
Like a whistle?
you
What's it say?
"To my Holly.
"If thou wilt needs marry, marry a fool.
"For wise men know well enough
what monsters you make of them."
Some kind of poetry?
Maybe Shakespeare?
No belly ring at Barry's?
Hmm. Turned his place inside out.
Maybe sold it for cash.
"Who set this ancient quarrel new abroach?"
What the hell? I thought this was about a girl on a balcony.
Just find the quote from Barry's letter.
Wait. Hold up. "Is your name Shylock?"
- That's not the quote. - 'I know.'
It's the first thing I've understood in about an hour.
It's here, in "Hamlet."
Thank god.
"If thou wilt needs marry, marry a fool.
"For wise men know well enough what monsters you make of them.
To a nunnery, go, and quickly, too."
Hamlet says it to Ophelia.
And it looks like it was a one-sided kind of love.
He rejects her.
But Barry was the one rejected.
(Rush) Right.
Flip to the back. How's it end?
Uh, she...goes mad and drowns.
Both our vics were found in the drink.
"The drink?" You the bard now?
Monster could mean... Barry's illness.
He blames it on Holly?
Let's find out.
About that belly ring.
Scotty's right. Barry could've sold it.
You wanna check consignment and pawn shops?
Yeah.
Once I'm finished with this scintillating play.
- Sellin' or buyin'? - Buyin'.
Pawn shop on the corner said you might have what we want.
Don't give that schmuck your business.
Schmuck that has this
diamond belly ring..
...is the one gets our business.
Just got some vintage cufflinks.
The belly ring. That's all we want.
You're missing out, fellas. They're Tiger Eye.
[whispers] Yeah.
- This what you had in mind? - Yeah.
- Exactly. - Nice stone. Two carats.
How much?
- Ten Bens. - Call the seller.
Tell him to come down here and collect his dough.
So you saw you and Holly as a kinda modern-day
Hamlet and Ophelia, huh?
So?
It didn't end well for that chick in the play, Barry.
It didn't end well for Holly, either.
It's just a letter.
"Wise men know well enough what monsters you make of them."
You saying she made you into a monster?
No, passion. Passion is the monster.
I just, I..
I wanted to get her attention
show her I was sensitive.
Not like that old...guy she was seeing.
Oh, you knew about Minard?
He shouldn't date students.
It's not an equal relationship.
[sighs]
So when Holly was stupid enough
not to be moved by your borrowed poetry..
Throw those letters back in your face.
When she stayed in her unequal relationship with Minard
and told you to leave her the hell alone
you wanted to punish her.
Followed her that night, snapped off an antenna.
Then whip, whip, whip. Strangle, strangle.
Splash.
I saw her that night.
But I only talked to her.
- You okay? - Mm-hmm.
Well, I know I'm not supposed to come near you--
No, it's alright, you can.
[slow instrumental music]
I, uh..
Oh..
[sniffles]
What happened?
I found out what a bitch I am.
You're not a bitch.
I saw Minard's wife. And their kid.
They're real.
I pretended they weren't, but..
...they're a family.
That guy's not right for you anyway.
Oh. Well, he doesn't think so.
- He wants to stay together. - Really?
You know, the truth is..
I don't care about him.
I was just playing a game.
And I, I don't love him.
Maybe..
Maybe you could love me.
No.
I'll never love you, either.
[music continues]
Girl you love says that to you and you just..
...get up and go back to the dorm?
Yeah.
Oh, we didn't hear it like that, Barry.
We heard Holly was pissed off at Minard after that party.
Lil.
What's going on?
Holly's mother called.
[siren blaring]
I won't fight you.
I don't care how many times you hit me.
- Mr. Richardson, - I'm not gonna hit you.
This won't solve anything.
You won't take care of this guy, I'll do it myself.
I am taking care of it. I'm reinvestigating.
Holly was an innocent girl
and this bastard... took advantage of her.
I was wrong, okay? I shouldn't have been with her.
You have every reason to hate me for that.
- But I did not hurt Holly. - Don't say that.
I know you did it. I know it.
Please let me handle this.
I miss her.
I know.
[panting]
Holly was special.
'Maybe you don't want to hear that from me.'
But she talked about you. All the time.
She adored you.
I know he did it.
[dramatic music]
Whoa. Hey. Ha-ha.
Did you get that warrant okay?
- I did. - Alright.
- Thanks. - Yeah.
I guess we won't talk about the other thing.
- Yeah, okay. - Okay.
Punk!
Tu hermana es un stupido, abuelo.
Shut...up!
Who is this?
Jesus Torres. Ex-con.
Tried to sell Lenore Grandy's belly ring.
[Torres speaking Spanish]
What's he sayin'?
Somethin' not so nice about Vera's sister.
Well, looks like you got two suspects now.
This ring belonged to Lenore Grandy.
The hooker you killed up in Norristown.
I tell you..
Told you. I didn't kill no one.
What's your parole officer gonna think about all this?
Six months out and you already got ties to two murders.
- Two? - 'Yeah. Lenore Grandy.'
Two weeks ago, Holly Richardson in '95. Same doer.
Say "Jesus has not adjusted to life after prison
in the way we had hoped."
- Maybe I took the diamond. - 'Now, that's a start.'
Yeah, but it ain't like you say.
- Hmm. - 'What is it like?'
I go to the river, dead, already
in the water.
I see the ring.
Think, she don't need it now, right?
- Nah, she's iced. - That's all I do.
I steal from someone don't need it anymore.
Now, here's my vision for what happened.
You met Lenore in your hood
fell in love with that flaxen hair
which was a lot like Holly's.
Holly was a honey blonde.
And thought, "Well, here's a Holly look-alike
"and she's just a hooker.
Maybe I can get this one."
I just wanted to paint Lenore, I'm a painter.
But then she gives you the high hat.
Rejected by a whore. That's humiliating.
The last straw.
So you figure, let me give this bitch
'the same treatment I gave Holly.'
[instrumental music]
[music continues]
I got to show you somethin'.
You study the pre-Raphaelites there, Jesus?
Que?
John Everett Millais one of your favorites?
It's called "Ophelia".
I never saw that.
Yeah, but you do recognize that, uh
Lenore was posed just like poor Ophelia here.
I don't know nothing about paintings.
No?
All I did was steal the ring.
She was layin' in the water..
Lying in the water, already dead.
Say that again.
She was lyin' in the water dead.
- Chickens lay. - People lie.
You take ESL with Mr. Roy?
Nada. - 'Hey, look.'
(Valens) 'It's easy to prove, Jesus.'
'There's a registry for that.'
You and him made a deal, didn't you?
'Murder for hire gets you the death penalty'
'nine times out of ten, Jesus.'
Lucky part for you is, we want Roy more than you.
Tell your side, we tell the DA you cooperated.
[instrumental music]
I done this before. 10,000.
(Minard) 'I can't do ten. Five maybe.'
Come on, it...it's a hooker.
It'll be the easiest money you've ever made.
[chuckles]
It's so easy, you do it.
And it'll cost you nothing.
I have to be in class to establish my alibi.
[music continues]
Okay. I do for six.
Alright, but remember, you stick to the script.
Everything's got to be done
exactly the way it was last time.
- 'Comprende, Jesus?' - Si.
(Minard) 'You know, I end up teaching this pathetic class, and, uh..'
It was all to meet you, my friend.
[chuckles]
That's destiny.
I'll be back after this.
Where I belong.
Minard, what's destiny?
It's what sets you free.
I thought it was truth.
Truth sets you free.
No. It's destiny. Trust me.
He only pay me 3,000.
So, I figure I deserved the jewelry.
Seems only fair.
(Rush) 'Back inside the ivy walls?'
Yeah, I had a...lunch with the dean.
I don't want to appear too hopeful
but the head of my old department
is stepping down in the fall.
Getting your name cleared would help a lot, huh?
Oh, it couldn't hurt.
You'll be glad to know we have someone in custody.
No. Who is it?
Jesus Torres.
A student in your ESL class.
Jesus...Jesus, no.
I-I'm sorry, that doesn't ring a bell.
(Rush) 'That's not what he says.'
He says you told him you killed Holly.
What?
And hired him to kill Lenore in a copycat killing.
That.. That's absurd.
Well, I know you are the brilliant professor
and we're just dumb cops.
I don't think you're dumb.
Who couldn't possibly have heard of Ophelia.
I don't think you're dumb.
I just think you're falling for a story.
Almost, Minard.
I almost fell for your story.
But your boy, Jesus, screwed up your plan.
And he got greedy, stole something off the body.
'Led us back to you.'
Jesus is a lifetime criminal
with a third-world education.
Thought you didn't know him.
You have his word against mine.
- It hardly makes a case. - No.
But the second body being posed just like the first?
That makes my case.
The public didn't know those details.
Only Holly's killer did.
And who's gonna believe a dummy like Jesus
ever studied art history?
I had to regain my station.
And Jesus offered a way to do that.
You knew about Barry's letters to Holly.
Calling her his "Ophelia."
She showed me a few of them.
Pillow talk, if you will.
So you just needed to find another girl to link Barry to.
Make it look like she was his second Ophelia.
(Valens) 'Frame him for both.'
Guy's just a schizo, what's his life worth, anyway?
I contribute.
Don't look at me like I'm some kind of monster.
Holly shares some of the blame of this, too.
Oh, really? What'd Holly do?
She made me love her.
[instrumental music]
[music continues]
You left angry.
I could tell.
What? What's wrong?
Nothing's wrong. It's just over.
- What makes you say that? - You have a wife.
- Then I'll leave her for you. - No.
I will. I will. I really will.
I thought I loved you, but it was in a childish way.
You know, this hard-to-get act is a little juvenile for you.
You know, I just wanted to have fun.
I didn't even think about your family.
Hey.
Did you hear what I just said, that I love you?
Well, I don't love you. I don't love anyone.
Except yourself.
Yeah, and you love you.
That's why we get along so well.
I say when it's over.
I make the rules.
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
I decide.
[Holly screaming]
I decide!
[whimpering]
[groaning]
I decide.
[gasps]
