[Jackson Browne singing "Running On Empty"]
- Hey. Two bucks. - Here you go.
- Thanks. - Later, Murph.
♪ Looking out at the road ♪
♪ Rushing under my wheels ♪
$1.29.
I only have a dollar.
- Is this for school? - Yeah.
Alright, then.
Education's important.
You don't want to end up like those mutts on the corner.
Get out of here.
- Be careful. - Thanks, mister.
[dramatic music]
[panting]
[groans]
[music continues]
(Lilly) 'Boss!'
Takeout's getting cold.
Vera's wolfing down the last of the sweet and sour.
Okay.
The Sixers traded Allen Iverson.
Uh-huh.
Boss..
...food's here.
Oh, thanks, Lil. I'm not hungry.
You got something on a cold one?
No, I just come down to take a look at that case
'every once in a while.'
Any reason?
Tender age. The kid was eight.
Your job?
[dramatic music]
(Greg) 'No! No!'
'No!'
My little boy!
- Tim! - Calm down, please. Sir.
[sobbing] Tim!
'Tim!'
Any good leads?
Oh, plenty. None panned out.
Three black teenagers were the main suspects.
We nearly had a race riot in the neighborhood when the kid died.
You wanna take a look at it?
You got something new on it?
No. You got fresh eyes.
Maybe you'll see something I missed.
Any reason you're looking back now?
Today?
[chuckles]
What am I, one of your suspects?
Well, you're avoiding my questions like one.
Alright.
I can take a hint.
Be mysterious.
[instrumental music]
[theme music]
[music continues]
Tim Barnes was hit once in the face
below the right eye, presumably knocked unconscious.
He died of hypothermia.
No prints, no witnesses.
The lead suspect was a 16-year-old glue-sniffer
named Latrell Richmond.
'Juvenile record of assault and burglary.'
He and his pals hung out at a corner by the store
where Tim Barnes bought that notebook.
You interview him?
That night.
So after the boy goes into the store?
(Latrell) 'I saw him leave.'
Headed North on Grover.
'What did you do after you saw'
the boy walking North on Grover?
Nothing. Chilled.
You didn't follow him, maybe try and rob him?
You deaf, Stillman?
'I gotta repeat everything?'
Anyone see you chillin' out on the corner, Latrell?
Other than your two friends?
No. It was-it was cold out. Nobody was out.
What about Mr. Murphy, the store clerk?
- He see you chillin'? - How do I know?
I stayed away from that white boy.
Cracker hates the black man just like the Philly PD.
We released him into his mother's custody.
We were gonna box him in the morning
but he'd disappeared by then.
How about his two friends?
They were polygraphed. Both passed.
One is dead now and the other's serving time
won't talk to cops.
Latrell's mom around?
Yeah, she and his two sisters always claimed
they had no idea where he went.
Let's fan out.
I'll go to the parents. You go to the store clerk.
The clerk was the last to see Tim alive?
Yeah.
Maybe Jeffries and Vera can pay Latrell's family a visit.
Good.
Tim loved delivering the mail with his dad in the summer.
(Lilly) 'Your other two?'
Uh, that's Tina in California.
She's a vet now, lives in Modesto.
- Mm-hmm. - And that's Brian.
He's my youngest.
He's a law student up at Syracuse.
Oh.
Oh, Greg, honey.
'Uh, this is Detective Rush.'
- She's here about Tim. - What about him?
I'd like to talk to you about the night he was killed.
Lieutenant Stillman sent me.
- He's lieutenant now, huh? - Mm-hmm.
He was a nice man.
I told her it was okay. I can handle it.
Alright.
You wanna know what happened that night, I'll tell you.
Once.
[crying]
Hey, mom, can I go to the store to buy a notebook for math?
- Ask your father. - I got a dollar.
- I'll pay for it. - I said ask your father.
(Greg Barnes) 'Stop Screaming.'
(Tina) 'Hey, dad, don't hurt.'
Hey, dad can I go to the store
to buy a notebook for math class?
Tina, your hair's gotta be washed.
- 'Dad.' - No, it doesn't.
- Dad. - What?
Can I go to the store to buy a notebook?
- Ask your mother. - But she said to ask you.
Are we done, daddy?
- I said stop squirming. - Forget you.
Tina, come on, stop squirming.
You have kids, detective?
Because you don't know the meaning of exhaustion
until you've had a colicky newborn
on top of two others.
(Greg) 'We were outgunned, weren't we, honey?'
Three against two.
How much time passed before you noticed Tim was missing?
Um...two..
'...two and a half hours.'
That's how nuts we were.
Then what'd you do?
We called Tim's friends.
Um, checked around the block
and pretty soon we got scared, so we called the cops.
By the time they found him..
...Tim was frozen to death.
If we would have just noticed him missing earlier..
It's okay, sweetie.
Like I said, once is all I'm gonna tell that story.
[indistinct chattering]
Hey, hey! Hey!
Watch that.
[doorbell rings]
Wilma Richmond?
Detectives Vera, Jeffries.
My daughters told me you called them.
You ain't gonna get nothing outta me
you didn't get outta my girls.
Think maybe we can come in, Ms. Wilma?
Yeah, we're, uh, sitting ducks out here.
- And it's cold. - Don't bother the kids none.
Besides, you got blubber on you.
We'll only be a minute.
So your daughters say they haven't seen Latrell
since the night he disappeared in 1980.
- Ditto. - No phone calls, letters?
What did I just say?
Besides, if I knew where Latrell was
which I don't
you think I'd tell you?
Don't hear me wrong.
I feel bad for that family
but they're not the only ones lost a boy that night.
I lost my son the same
as they lost theirs.
(Nick Vera) 'So what happened that night'
after you brought Latrell home from Homicide?
I don't like to think about that night.
- We can understand that. - Oh, yeah?
- You lost a boy, detective? - No, ma'am.
Then why are you talking about understanding?
Trell was my eldest.
The man of the house..
...but he was still just a boy.
We'll get us a lawyer, Trell. You ain't gotta run.
We can't afford no lawyer.
Where are you gonna go?
Don't know, but if I stay here
the police will beat my ass till I confess.
Pin this murder on me. You know they will.
- You got any money? - No.
Here.
- I'm not cleaning you out, mom. - Take it.
[instrumental music]
16 years old.
Can you imagine how scared he was?
Your grandkids?
From my daughters.
Thank God I at least have them.
Now if you don't mind
why don't you go harass some other innocent black people?
Sean Murphy.
Call me Murph, everyone does.
You're a long way from clerking
at the five-and-dime, Murph.
That's what a little hard work can do.
So..
...this is about Tim Barnes?
I understand you were the last person to see him alive.
Aside from whoever killed him.
He bought something from your store?
A black-and-white composition book.
Was Tim a kid you knew from the neighborhood?
He came into the store occasionally.
Never had enough money. I'd let him slide.
- Felt sorry for him. - Why is that?
There were these black kids in the area.
I think they were picking on him.
They do that a lot?
They were always hanging around the corner
harassing people.
Mutts had the lazy gene, if you know what I mean.
You see Tim with them mutts that night?
You bet I did.
(male #1) 'Hey.'
[instrumental music]
They ever bother you?
No, they knew better.
- You know this guy? - 'Yeah.'
Yeah, he was the ringleader of those kids.
- Laquanda or something. - Latrell.
You didn't actually see him or any of his pals
hurt the boy though, did you?
If I would have seen something
I would have intervened.
I would have kicked those..
...African American young gentlemen's asses.
[knock on door]
The Barnes speak highly of you.
How are they doing?
Getting by, I guess.
That kind of wound doesn't heal.
I used to call them a lot.
I-I stopped when I didn't have anything new to tell them.
- You buying baby furniture? - No, it's my daughter.
- She's pregnant. - How far along?
A couple of months. I just found out.
[chuckles]
Anything from Latrell's family?
Mother and sisters are sticking to their stories.
- You think he could be dead? - I doubt it.
Latrell was a survivor of sorts.
So is that the new direction?
Hearing your daughter's pregnant?
It got me thinking about this case, yeah..
...and feeling guilty.
About what?
I was working the Barnes job
when my daughter was born.
Yeah, I missed her birth completely.
My wife, uh..
...wasn't pleased.
I lost my marriage over a case I couldn't even solve.
Well, no wonder you don't want back on it.
The sad part is, I do, though.
I want this thing solved. I want to put to rest.
I get it.
No, you don't..
...but you will one day.
Hopefully before I did.
Murphy's a piece of work
into genetics, racial superiority.
He thinks Latrell's the doer?
ID'ed him off his picture in a second flat.
We got something.
Latrell's two sisters, Lisa and Leslie.
They got three kids apiece.
'But according to Wilma Richmond'
she has seven grandkids.
Yeah, so who's lucky number seven?
Thinking maybe he's Latrell's?
We're gonna find out.
We're on the street, boss.
Us, too.
- Going to the crime scene. - Good.
Ain't too often we got the assigned available
to go with us.
Uh-huh.
Come on, boss.
Be a big help.
I'll get my coat.
[instrumental music]
Used to be a working class neighborhood.
Half black, half white.
A lot of racial tension.
[music continues]
This is where Tim died.
Except he was lying in snow, not slush.
That coffee shop there was a five-and-dime
where Tim Barnes bought his notebook.
Where Murphy worked.
In this corner right here
this is where Latrell and his pals were sniffing glue.
Even the church is getting a facelift.
(Scotty Valens) 'The Barnes were Catholics, right?'
(John) 'Yeah. Tim was in the boys' choir.'
(Lilly) 'You talk to the priest?'
Yeah, Father Declan.
He was in the church that night
but he didn't see or hear anything.
There wasn't a pedophilia scandal
back in 1980, was there?
No. Just pedophilia.
Oh, what, the guy's a priest
so automatically he's a pedophile?
No, but don't we got to look at it?
Well, he was close to the family
both the parents and the kids.
Diocese won't disclose the priest's whereabouts
without a court order.
Oh, you got a relationship with ADA Kite, right?
What do you mean, "a relationship?"
I mean, maybe you can give him a call.
He could help us, uh, cut through the red tape.
Yeah, I...could call him.
Did a search of Latrell's mother's phone records.
Other than her daughters
one other name comes up consistently.
- It's Candace Smith. - Who's that?
36-year-old nurse with a 14-year-old boy.
Now Wilma Richmond had a picture
of her kid in her apartment.
Looks to be about 14.
The seventh grandkid?
(Nick) 'Latrell's, maybe.'
With Candace.
Wilma told you to talk to me?
We're here about her son, Latrell.
Latrell?
Well, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
Um..
...this is a picture of him.
That there was Latrell.
A couple of names back, that is.
When I married him, he was going by Julius Smith.
(Nick) 'Your boy sure looks like him.'
Don't remind me.
You wouldn't happen to know where Julius is, would you?
Michael, want to give us some privacy?
Like I never heard you badmouthing Julius before.
Go.
Julius Smith is a low-rent, two-timing
'piss-poor excuse of a man.'
Kicked his worthless butt out the door six years ago.
He doesn't call, pay child support?
Child support?
The day he left, he cleaned me and Michael out.
'Took his own son's Game Boy.'
- He an addict? - Addict, dealer.
Last I heard, he was hustling out of the Badlands.
But what did he do now?
You know what? Don't tell me.
I don't want to know.
You find Julius Latrell
whatever the hell his name is
tell him his son's a straight-A student.
He's grown up to be a real man
not like his lying ass.
Yes, ma'am, we most definitely will.
[instrumental music]
(ADA Kite) 'I went to law school with Sherman Markey'
one of the diocese's attorneys.
He spared us the rigmarole.
Your Father Declan's in a retirement home
for priests put out to pasture.
"Sacred Heart Retirement Home."
Thanks, Kite.
This priest, he a man-boy-love type?
I hope not, but either way, I'll find out.
- See ya. - See ya?
What do you want, a thank-you note?
We ever going to talk about that night on the street?
Talk-talk about that night.
Maybe when this case is over.
But then you'll be on another case.
That's true.
I tell you what.
You're the workaholic.
Call me at home.
I don't care what time.
Okay.
Maybe.
Tonight wouldn't be too soon.
(Lilly ) 'Father Declan?'
Yeah?
Valens, Rush, homicide.
Mind putting it on pause for a minute?
What can I do for you?
You remember a boy named Tim Barnes?
Of course. Tragedy.
He was in the boys' choir at your church.
And on your baseball team, when you were coaching.
Are you accusing me of something, detective?
You were transferred three months after his murder.
At my request.
I'm not a pedophile.
So, why'd you decide to leave?
My white parishioners blamed the blacks.
I cautioned them against leaping to conclusions.
My position was not popular.
You don't think the black kids on the corner did it?
It's not for me to say.
In the case file it says you went to the Barnes house
the day of the murder.
Yes, Greg Barnes asked me to check on Nicole.
She was having a hard time coping.
Needed..
...cheering up.
Tina!
I don't know, father
I-I have these dreams.
What kind of dreams?
Bad ones.
You're tired.
Tired doesn't cover the half of it.
It's just...three's too many.
Tina, don't do that again!
You see what I mean?
- Mom! - Not a moment's peace.
- 'Tim hit me.' - Did you hit your sister?
Did you hit her?
Yeah, did you hit your sister?
- But she made me! - No buts, Timothy!
I've had it up to here!
What do I have to do? What do I have to do, huh?
- 'What do I have to do?' - Nicole, Nicole.
What?
[instrumental music]
I'm sorry.
Why didn't you ever tell that to Detective Stillman?
Nicole had suffered enough.
Last thing she needed was cops breathing down her neck.
You ever see Nicole hit Timmy?
She was high-strung, emotional.
But did you ever see her hit the boy?
Did you talk to Nicole after Tim died?
Confession is a sacrament.
Protected by both church and state law.
How about her husband Greg?
- Did he come talk to you? - I couldn't say.
Couldn't or wouldn't?
Someone confessed to the murder, didn't they?
'That's why you left the parish.'
You couldn't stand knowing one of your parishioners
got away with it.
I wouldn't say, regardless.
Even if that person killed an eight-year-old boy?
Even if.
Father Declan knows something.
You think Tim's killer confessed to him?
We already know he was counseling Nicole Barnes.
And it turns out she was hospitalized twice
for attempted suicides since 1980.
Her son was murdered, Lil. It'd drive any parent over the edge.
According to Declan, she was over the edge
before Tim was killed.
You must have looked at her.
She said she never left the house that night.
Her husband and neighbors backed her up.
I got two words for you, boss. Andrea Yates.
From what Declan says Nicole fits the postpartum
psychosis bill to a "T."
I'll give you this
in 1980, that wasn't exactly on our radar.
I'm gonna talk to her husband.
Don't go to her until you have to.
District cops and BD teams in the Badlands
know of a Julius Smith, Aka Latrell Richmond, in the area.
Gave us an idea of what block he's hustling out of.
You show his picture around?
Door slams everywhere.
Well, we gotta flush Latrell out.
Time for "No drugs today?"
Oh, I think so.
What's that?
You'll see.
[upbeat music]
(Will Jeffries) 'Ms. Town and Country doesn't know the pharmacy's closed.'
I'll give her the heads up.
[music continues]
No drugs today, ma'am.
You're like a Swiss watch, Greg
on your route just where your boss said you'd be.
What do you want?
To talk about the night of the murder.
I've already told you, once is all you get.
Except you left out a couple of details.
Like?
Like you asking Father Declan
to look in on Nicole the day of the murder.
Leave Nicole out of it.
Are you still in contact with Father Declan?
We stopped going to church after Tim died.
You bring Tim out on the route sometimes?
'How do you know that?'
Picture on the mantle.
Him wearing your postal service hat..
...carrying your bag.
He loved to come along..
...carry the bag.
Yeah?
He was a great kid.
Were Tim and his mom close?
She loved him, same as I did.
I don't doubt that but..
...sometimes people..
...mothers..
...they get so overwhelmed
they do things they regret.
Well, Nicole coped the best she could.
Then why are you afraid to tell me
what happened that night?
I don't know what happened.
It was chaos, as usual.
Tim. Timmy!

He took away Timmy.
Didn't he?
Is that why you stopped going to church, Nicole?
'Cause you made that prayer?
It's why I tried to kill myself too.
Why would anyone wanna live in a world
where God would answer your prayers by killing your son?
There she is.
- Hey. - What are you doing here?
- You didn't call me. - Um...you know how it is.
Looks like I'm too late to buy you dinner.
- I talked to that priest. - Guess it'll have to be drinks.
- What, now? - Yeah. You mind?
I didn't take you for a fast-food type, Kite.
You got me all wrong, Rush.
Let me drop these warrants off at fugitives

Marshmallows? Hell, we need a bigger fire.

Yo, detectives.
What's up, man?
You're looking for Julius, right?
- That's right. - Got a cell?
Number's up top.
I'll see what I can do.
You do that.
Won't be long now.
Should I, uh, go into the high school years?
You like talking about yourself, don't you?
[laughs]
Well, someone has got to talk about something.
- I talk plenty. - About work. Nothing good.
What do you want, secrets?
Yeah.
Oh, you letting me in?
Come on, come on, show me where you live.
- You like cats? - Sure. Yeah.
- Nice place. - 'Thanks.'

Oh, dear, God.
I thought you liked cats.
Cats, not...mutants.
- This is Olivia. - Uh-huh.
And this is..
Tripod?
And you were doing so well.

Uh! Oh, what are you doing?
I wanna see it down.
Oh, I-I don't know about that.
Another time, okay?
Why not now?
Because you're..
...because you're scaring the cats.
I think you got that reversed, but, uh, okay.
It's a start...at least.
To what?

Got the call an hour ago.
Julius is inside, probably asleep.
I'm ready.

Julius Smith. Where is he?
Come on, lady. Those are my rocks.
Come on, please.
Julius Smith, where is he?
In the bag, over there.
[music continues]
Julius Smith.
(Scotty Valens) 'Latrell?'
Latrell?
We gotta bust a cap here, see if he moves.
Show me your hands. Lemme see your hands!
Time's done a real number on you, hasn't it, Latrell?
Latrell?
I don't know any Latrell.
Ah, man..
...you're still around.
Where'd all your hair disappear to, Stillman?
Same place as your teeth, Latrell.
Give us a minute, guys.
Why'd you do it, Latrell?
Why'd you kill Tim Barnes?
I didn't kill nobody.
I didn't believe you then and I don't believe you now.
You ruined my life, you know that, Stillman?
The parents of that kid
the brother and sister of that kid
their lives were ruined.
'This case took a toll on a lot of people.'
- Except you. - No.
Me too, Latrell.
That boy's death really messed with your head
didn't it, Stillman?
That boy's name was--
Tim Barnes. Tim Barnes!
You don't think I know that?
You don't think that boy's death bothered me none?
Maybe there's a detail or two type factoid
I failed to mention way back when.
[instrumental music]
Come here, man.
'Hey, you hear?'
I said come here.
Come here. Where you think you goin', little man, huh?
- Nowhere. - 'Nowhere?'
- The store. - Yeah.
You're damn right, you're goin' to the store.
- You know why? - Leave me alone.
You gonna buy us some glue, you hear me, potsie?
I only have a dollar.
Well, that's your problem, okay?
'Cause you go in that cracker store and not bring us our glue
you're gonna wish your little ass was never born.
You understand?
Good.
Hey, potsie..
...don't be bringing us none of that Elmer's glue, neither.
Model glue, you hear me?
[music continues]
Why the hell didn't you tell me that?
Come on, Stillman.
Like I'm gonna tell the police
I threatened to whoop a white boy's ass
the same night that white boy gets dead?
If you didn't do it..
...and you haven't said anything yet
that tells me you didn't, then who did?
If you got any ideas, Latrell, now is the time.
That night
when I was leaving my ma's.
I seen that cracker, Murphy
knockin' on the church door.
One of them priests come out of the, uh..
What do you call them places where the priests live?
- Rectory. - Right.
Rectumry.
Dude was wearing some funky-ass
Phillies pajamas.
Did Murphy go back inside with him?
No. It got me thinking.
Why's Murphy in need of spiritual-type counseling?
Think about it, Stillman.
Now, that cracker, Murphy, he got the-the opportunity
and the motive to kill that boy.
Well, I'll give you opportunity, Latrell, but motive?
I got it all figured out.
You kill a white boy, right?
Blame it on the black man!
What happens?
Cops come in, crime go down.
Crime go down, the real estate prices go up.
Now, I ask you..
...who stood to benefit?
The man buying up all the real estate, am I right?
And who that?
Sean Crackerjack Murphy, that's who.
That is one hell of a theory, Latrell.
It ain't a theory.
That's a hypothesis, Stillman.
Well, now that we got motive all squared away..
- Crazy theory. - Hypothesis.
But Murphy going to the priest is pretty interesting.
Yeah, in the middle of the night
just hours after Tim Barnes died.
Someone confessed to Father Declan, boss.
But why would Murphy kill that kid?
Ask Father Declan.
Oh, Declan hasn't broken
his vow of silence in 24 years.
He ain't gonna break it now.
Maybe he doesn't need to break it.
Maybe we just need to make Murphy think he's broken it.
I appreciate your coming down, father.
And I apologize for giving you a hard time the other day.
- Don't mention it. - Oh, here.
So...tell me your idea.
Ah, what I was thinking was this
a baseball league for cops.
The problem is, I don't know where to begin.
And you, you've got experience starting up a league, right?
Oh, that was a long time ago.
Well, I could really use some pointers.
Okay, give me that paper here.
(Sean Murphy) 'That Latrell.'
Ha! Must have been smokin' way too much crack
coming up with that theory.
I know..
'...pretty far-fetched, except you did get rich'
'off real estate, didn't you?'
Where is he?
I-I can't wait to ID his worthless ass.
Where's the lineup? Where's Latrell?
We gotta have a conversation first.
Alright.
You were the detective on that kid's case.
And you were the kind store owner
who let Tim slide when he only had a dollar
for that notebook.
That's right.
Have a seat.
I never guessed
it would be you sitting in here.
We're exhuming Tim's body, Murph.
In 1980, we didn't have DNA testing
but it's a whole new ball game in 2004.
You don't mind, do you?
I came here to identify that boy's killer
'Latrell Richmond.'
When's that gonna happen?
Did you see Detective Valens out there, Murph
'taking down Father Declan's statement?'
He shed a lot of light on this job.
Told us how you knocked on the church door that night.
How he opened it in his pajamas
let you in to confess to Tim's murder.
Well, a priest can't talk about what he hears in confession.
(John Stillman) 'That's true.'
Except Declan's retired.
(Lilly) 'And bitter.'
No allegiance to the church anymore
not after all the scandals.
You...you hate little kids, is that it, Murph?
I don't hate little kids.
Just black kids.
Tim Barnes was white, remember?
But he was a thief.
He stole glue from you
for those black kids.
That's an ungrateful mutt for you.
He betrayed you, huh?
Not just me. Us.
Guys who work an honest day for an honest wage.
White guys.
Thanks, mister.

(Sean Murphy) 'Hey! Hey!'
Come here! You little mutt!
You think you can steal from me?
- They made me. - Don't lie to me, mutt.
