1
00:00:08,667 --> 00:00:11,542
(male #1)
'10 minutes to the
biggest dance contest'
2
00:00:11,625 --> 00:00:13,166
'South Philly's ever seen.'
3
00:00:13,250 --> 00:00:14,792
'So get those
platforms polished'
4
00:00:14,875 --> 00:00:16,583
'cause it's gonna be far out.'
5
00:00:16,667 --> 00:00:19,250
'The Bell's giving 1000
bucks to the winner.'
6
00:00:19,333 --> 00:00:22,458
'You heard me 1000 big ones!'
7
00:00:22,542 --> 00:00:24,333
Outta sight!
8
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:29,709
(female #1)
'Gas and Power guys
were fixing a leak'
9
00:02:29,792 --> 00:02:32,333
'found partial remains
about six feet down.'
10
00:02:32,417 --> 00:02:33,583
In an old disco?
11
00:02:33,667 --> 00:02:35,458
Was an old
disco, The Bell.
12
00:02:35,542 --> 00:02:37,375
Off Lansing
Boulevard,
real eyesore?
13
00:02:37,458 --> 00:02:39,875
That's the spot. Twenty two
people were killed there
14
00:02:39,959 --> 00:02:41,667
in a fire, 1978.
15
00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:43,208
Ruled as arson.
16
00:02:43,291 --> 00:02:46,500
Twenty third was presumed dead
remains were never found.
17
00:02:46,583 --> 00:02:48,375
You thinking this
must be the guy?
18
00:02:48,458 --> 00:02:50,709
- John Doe.
- That's all that's left of
him?
19
00:02:50,792 --> 00:02:53,667
Skull's all I need to get an
ID. Man had excellent teeth.
20
00:02:53,750 --> 00:02:56,166
If he burned up in the fire
why
didn't we find him back then?
21
00:02:56,250 --> 00:02:58,125
Well, apparently he
was deep underground
22
00:02:58,208 --> 00:03:01,000
where the VIP room was.
23
00:03:01,083 --> 00:03:03,375
Plus, there's that.
24
00:03:03,458 --> 00:03:07,625
Slug's been rolling
around in his brain
pan.
25
00:03:07,709 --> 00:03:09,417
(Lilly)
'Right between the eyes.'
26
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:10,875
Shooter must have
been close up.
27
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:12,792
Can we get rifling
off this slug?
28
00:03:12,875 --> 00:03:14,166
My guess is it's a .38.
29
00:03:14,250 --> 00:03:15,750
Should have
distinctive
markings.
30
00:03:15,834 --> 00:03:18,083
This guy was probably shot
before the fire ever got to
him.
31
00:03:18,166 --> 00:03:20,959
Well, maybe our doer started
the blaze, covered his
tracks.
32
00:03:21,041 --> 00:03:23,834
Hide one murder,
cause 22 others.
33
00:03:23,917 --> 00:03:25,959
We don't got a cold one here.
34
00:03:26,041 --> 00:03:27,625
We got 23 of them.
35
00:04:00,041 --> 00:04:01,458
Dental records
were conclusive.
36
00:04:01,542 --> 00:04:04,417
This is our John Doe.
37
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:06,959
Benjamin Issac Rosen.
38
00:04:07,041 --> 00:04:08,291
Twenty two.
39
00:04:08,375 --> 00:04:11,041
I remember the news
coverage of The Bell fire.
40
00:04:11,125 --> 00:04:13,333
Cryin' families,
burned bodies.
41
00:04:13,417 --> 00:04:15,500
Bulldozers come in
quick,
demolish the place?
42
00:04:15,583 --> 00:04:17,041
Yeah, what was
left standing
43
00:04:17,125 --> 00:04:19,458
was considered
a safety hazard.
44
00:04:19,542 --> 00:04:22,333
So maybe they did a rush
job finding all the
remains.
45
00:04:22,417 --> 00:04:25,417
Explains why they
didn't find him.
46
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:28,125
You, uh, ever hang
out
at this disco, boss?
47
00:04:28,208 --> 00:04:30,000
Oh, not me, but I
think Jeffries
48
00:04:30,083 --> 00:04:32,291
was a beat cop
in South at the time.
49
00:04:32,375 --> 00:04:35,333
I wonder what he
did Saturday nights.
50
00:04:35,417 --> 00:04:38,709
a
the
51
00:04:38,792 --> 00:04:40,333
Lines around the
block to get in.
52
00:04:40,417 --> 00:04:43,834
Lot of feathered hair,
gold chains, polyester..
53
00:04:43,917 --> 00:04:47,291
Sounds like you got some
familiarity there, Will.
54
00:04:47,375 --> 00:04:49,000
I was there once.
55
00:04:49,083 --> 00:04:51,458
William Disco Jeffries.
56
00:04:51,542 --> 00:04:53,208
Come on, Will, bust
a move for us.
57
00:04:53,291 --> 00:04:54,709
(Nick)
'Yeah, do the
hustle, baby.'
58
00:04:54,792 --> 00:04:57,875
You know, if it's all
the same, I'd rather not.
59
00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:00,875
Those were regrettable times.
60
00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:02,792
The arson report
says
the blaze started
61
00:05:02,875 --> 00:05:04,542
in the "White Room"
do you know what that
was?
62
00:05:04,625 --> 00:05:06,917
VIP lounge, where all
the cocaine was snorted.
63
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
And where Ben Rosen's
remains were found.
64
00:05:09,083 --> 00:05:10,291
So, maybe he
started the fire.
65
00:05:10,375 --> 00:05:12,125
Right after he got
shot in the face?
66
00:05:12,208 --> 00:05:13,500
That's a point.
67
00:05:13,583 --> 00:05:15,750
So who was with Ben
in the White Room?
68
00:05:15,834 --> 00:05:18,500
Chief suspect in the arson
was the owner of the place.
69
00:05:18,583 --> 00:05:19,834
Neil Chaney?
70
00:05:19,917 --> 00:05:21,709
'Torched his own club
for the insurance?'
71
00:05:21,792 --> 00:05:23,417
You'd think he'd wait
till after hours.
72
00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:27,166
Looks like they dug, but
didn't
get far with that theory.
73
00:05:27,250 --> 00:05:29,458
We got partial
rifling on the bullet.
74
00:05:29,542 --> 00:05:31,542
- It was a .38.
- Good enough to find a match?
75
00:05:31,625 --> 00:05:34,583
Yep, we find the gun
that matches this slug
76
00:05:34,667 --> 00:05:35,583
could lead us to the doer.
77
00:05:35,667 --> 00:05:37,417
I'd call that new direction.
78
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:38,709
Vera, Disco Will
79
00:05:38,792 --> 00:05:41,000
'have a conversation
with Neil Chaney.'
80
00:05:41,083 --> 00:05:43,333
- Meantime..
- We'll go to the Rosens.
81
00:05:46,667 --> 00:05:48,500
(female #2)
'You found Benny..'
82
00:05:48,583 --> 00:05:51,208
...after all these years?
83
00:05:51,291 --> 00:05:53,375
I always hoped, prayed
84
00:05:53,458 --> 00:05:57,709
he got out of that
conflagration somehow.
85
00:05:57,792 --> 00:05:59,667
'Ran away or something.'
86
00:06:01,542 --> 00:06:03,750
Foolish. I know.
87
00:06:03,834 --> 00:06:05,041
Benny lived at
home with you?
88
00:06:05,125 --> 00:06:07,083
He was going to go
to dental school.
89
00:06:07,166 --> 00:06:08,875
'Top of his class.'
90
00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:11,750
Smart. Sweet.
91
00:06:11,834 --> 00:06:14,583
He have any enemies
you know of?
92
00:06:14,667 --> 00:06:16,625
I thought he
died
in the fire.
93
00:06:16,709 --> 00:06:19,709
I'm afraid he was
murdered, Mrs. Rosen..
94
00:06:19,792 --> 00:06:21,125
'...before the fire started.'
95
00:06:21,208 --> 00:06:22,667
Murdered?
96
00:06:22,750 --> 00:06:24,542
Was he in any
kind of trouble?
97
00:06:24,625 --> 00:06:26,458
How should we know?
98
00:06:26,542 --> 00:06:28,458
Benny was an open
book before
99
00:06:28,542 --> 00:06:31,625
he started playing
that so-called
music.
100
00:06:31,709 --> 00:06:35,125
'After, he shut us out.'
101
00:06:35,208 --> 00:06:37,041
He knew we disapproved.
102
00:06:37,125 --> 00:06:39,875
Why? Shouldn't I
have disapproved?
103
00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:42,125
That disco
ruined
his life.
104
00:06:42,208 --> 00:06:46,875
We, uh, kept some of his
things in his room.
105
00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:49,041
Maybe you'd like to see?
106
00:07:02,792 --> 00:07:05,500
Salutatorian of his
high school class.
107
00:07:10,834 --> 00:07:13,041
(Myra)
'Adorable right.'
108
00:07:13,125 --> 00:07:15,625
There something you want
to tell us, Myra?
109
00:07:15,709 --> 00:07:18,709
Something you didn't
want
your husband to hear?
110
00:07:18,792 --> 00:07:20,417
No, of course not.
111
00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:22,917
''Cause I got the
feeling there was.'
112
00:07:26,583 --> 00:07:28,333
We know this is difficult.
113
00:07:30,417 --> 00:07:32,583
Doesn't have to leave this room.
114
00:07:35,250 --> 00:07:36,709
There was something.
115
00:07:40,041 --> 00:07:42,542
It's something I
never told my husband.
116
00:07:42,625 --> 00:07:44,625
What was that?
117
00:07:44,709 --> 00:07:48,125
I came home from temple
early one night, uh..
118
00:07:48,208 --> 00:07:49,917
...on account of my arthritis.
119
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
'This was a week
before the fire.'
120
00:07:52,083 --> 00:07:53,500
'And, uh..'
121
00:07:55,625 --> 00:07:57,625
I saw them together.
122
00:07:57,709 --> 00:07:59,166
'My Benny'
123
00:07:59,250 --> 00:08:02,208
shiksa.
124
00:08:02,291 --> 00:08:03,834
Like you.
125
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:30,542
- Mmm, not here, baby.
- Come on.
126
00:08:30,625 --> 00:08:33,417
My folks won't be
back for hours.
127
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:35,250
But if we want to win
this competition
128
00:08:35,333 --> 00:08:36,959
we got to practice.
129
00:08:37,041 --> 00:08:38,458
I don't got the
rhythm
like you do.
130
00:08:38,542 --> 00:08:40,291
You got it where
it counts, baby.
131
00:08:40,375 --> 00:08:41,583
You're far out.
132
00:08:41,667 --> 00:08:43,500
When you gonna tell
your
parents we're engaged?
133
00:08:43,583 --> 00:08:45,375
'Aah, soon.'
134
00:08:45,458 --> 00:08:47,542
You are such a foxy mama.
135
00:08:48,792 --> 00:08:51,417
- Benny.
- Hey.
136
00:08:51,500 --> 00:08:53,917
You know I want
to marry you
137
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,500
spend my whole life
dancin' with you.
138
00:09:00,083 --> 00:09:02,667
We don't have to make it
now if you don't want to.
139
00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:10,000
We'll practice, then
we'll make it, huh?
140
00:09:10,083 --> 00:09:12,291
I love you, hot stuff.
141
00:09:13,709 --> 00:09:16,125
'They were in love.'
142
00:09:16,208 --> 00:09:20,083
At least my Benny had
that before he died.
143
00:09:20,166 --> 00:09:23,792
Did Benny ever talk about
his wedding plans?
144
00:09:23,875 --> 00:09:25,542
He was probably afraid to.
145
00:09:25,625 --> 00:09:28,458
His father would
have hit the roof.
146
00:09:28,542 --> 00:09:30,458
You know what happened
to this girl, Sonya?
147
00:09:30,542 --> 00:09:33,125
She got burnt in the fire.
148
00:09:33,208 --> 00:09:35,917
I visited her once
at Saint Ignatius..
149
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,542
...she was all doped up.
Never knew I was there.
150
00:09:38,625 --> 00:09:40,959
And your husband still
doesn't know about her?
151
00:09:41,041 --> 00:09:43,125
'He needs more heartache?'
152
00:09:43,208 --> 00:09:47,542
'It's bad enough feeling his
son betrayed him over disco.'
153
00:09:59,458 --> 00:10:01,417
Sonya Witkowski?
154
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:03,083
Yes.
155
00:10:03,166 --> 00:10:05,583
'Detectives Rush and Valens.'
156
00:10:05,667 --> 00:10:08,250
We're here about
Benjamin Rosen.
157
00:10:08,333 --> 00:10:09,834
Benny?
158
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:15,250
'I'll be right back.'
159
00:10:20,250 --> 00:10:22,917
I lost Benny in
The Bell fire.
160
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,834
(Scotty)
'Part of his remains were
recently found, Sonya.'
161
00:10:25,917 --> 00:10:30,625
It appears he was killed
before the fire started.
162
00:10:30,709 --> 00:10:33,250
Someone killed him?
163
00:10:33,333 --> 00:10:34,792
I'm afraid so.
164
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,083
'We understand you
two were engaged.'
165
00:10:38,166 --> 00:10:41,291
'We were gonna get married
after the dance competition.'
166
00:10:42,458 --> 00:10:44,834
That was such
a long time
ago.
167
00:10:44,917 --> 00:10:48,417
Was there anything
unusual
going on in Benny's life
168
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:49,542
right around then?
169
00:10:49,625 --> 00:10:51,208
Fights? A threat?
170
00:10:51,291 --> 00:10:54,750
No. I mean..
171
00:10:54,834 --> 00:10:56,125
You sure
he was murdered?
172
00:10:56,208 --> 00:10:58,750
Anything you can tell
us could really help.
173
00:11:01,709 --> 00:11:05,208
A couple of days
before
the dance contest
174
00:11:05,291 --> 00:11:07,166
I got there
early
to practice..
175
00:11:26,166 --> 00:11:29,250
Hey, foxy mama,
let's hustle.
176
00:11:29,333 --> 00:11:31,750
What did Chaney want?
177
00:11:31,834 --> 00:11:33,959
- Nothing.
- Didn't look like nothing.
178
00:11:34,041 --> 00:11:35,750
Look, are we talking
or are we dancing?
179
00:11:35,834 --> 00:11:37,709
You deal blow for Chaney,
Benny, I'll dump your ass.
180
00:11:37,792 --> 00:11:40,041
I'm not dealin' blow.
181
00:11:40,125 --> 00:11:41,542
I swear.
182
00:11:42,792 --> 00:11:44,834
You wouldn't lie to me?
183
00:11:44,917 --> 00:11:46,792
I'd rather die.
184
00:11:53,083 --> 00:11:56,625
Hey, after we win that 1000
bucks, baby, let's elope.
185
00:11:56,709 --> 00:11:59,917
We'll go to Manhattan, get
married at Studio 54.
186
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,125
- We got to win first.
- We'll win.
187
00:12:02,208 --> 00:12:04,583
You're the best disco
dancer in Philly.
188
00:12:04,667 --> 00:12:06,709
Philly? Is that all?
189
00:12:06,792 --> 00:12:08,709
In America.
190
00:12:08,792 --> 00:12:10,792
The whole world.
191
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,959
He was the love
of my life, you know?
192
00:12:16,041 --> 00:12:17,291
The real deal.
193
00:12:17,375 --> 00:12:20,166
What were Benny,
and Mr. Chaney fighting
about?
194
00:12:20,250 --> 00:12:21,500
I don't know.
195
00:12:21,583 --> 00:12:23,792
Benny used to give
private dance
lessons
196
00:12:23,875 --> 00:12:27,041
to some of Chaney's clients
197
00:12:27,125 --> 00:12:29,208
but it seemed like
something more serious.
198
00:12:29,291 --> 00:12:32,834
Are you sure it ain't
possible
Benny was dealing for him?
199
00:12:32,917 --> 00:12:34,750
He said he wasn't.
200
00:12:36,542 --> 00:12:39,917
On the off chance
that he was, Sonya
201
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,458
you think Chaney
was the kind of man
202
00:12:41,542 --> 00:12:43,709
who could murder someone?
203
00:12:43,792 --> 00:12:46,000
I know he had a gun.
204
00:12:46,083 --> 00:12:48,667
Used to show it off like
some kind of big shot.
205
00:12:50,917 --> 00:12:52,166
We're still looking
for Neil Chaney
206
00:12:52,250 --> 00:12:54,417
but he did have
a permit for a .38.
207
00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:56,208
Which he fired in '77.
208
00:12:56,291 --> 00:12:58,083
Shot a
burglar
at The Bell.
209
00:12:58,166 --> 00:12:59,750
A year before
Benny was shot.
210
00:12:59,834 --> 00:13:01,083
File's coming over from South.
211
00:13:01,166 --> 00:13:03,041
We find the slug he
shot at that burglar
212
00:13:03,125 --> 00:13:04,750
match it to the one
we got on this job.
213
00:13:04,834 --> 00:13:06,917
Makes Chaney a good
bet for the doer.
214
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,500
We're talking about
finding a bullet
215
00:13:08,583 --> 00:13:10,125
fired 26 years ago
from a gun
216
00:13:10,208 --> 00:13:12,041
we don't even know
exists anymore.
217
00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:14,250
Registered to a
man
we can't find.
218
00:13:14,333 --> 00:13:15,458
'Yeah.'
219
00:13:15,542 --> 00:13:17,709
The word "Longshot"
comes to mind.
220
00:13:17,792 --> 00:13:19,166
We like a challenge.
221
00:13:19,250 --> 00:13:20,875
Well, you got one.
222
00:13:30,333 --> 00:13:32,709
File from South IDs the guy
Chaney shot as Mark Rigley.
223
00:13:32,792 --> 00:13:34,083
Tried to rob a disco at closing.
224
00:13:34,166 --> 00:13:35,083
Chaney popped him.
225
00:13:35,166 --> 00:13:36,625
Shooting was ruled self-defense.
226
00:13:36,709 --> 00:13:38,291
Maybe Rigley knows what
happened to the slug.
227
00:13:38,375 --> 00:13:39,875
- He doin' time someplace?
- Uh-uh.
228
00:13:39,959 --> 00:13:43,208
Custodial detail at the
River Rink, Penn's Landing.
229
00:13:43,291 --> 00:13:45,041
Know how we been having
trouble findin' Chaney?
230
00:13:45,125 --> 00:13:46,542
'It's 'cause County's
six months behind'
231
00:13:46,625 --> 00:13:48,375
processing death certificates.
232
00:13:48,458 --> 00:13:49,417
Chaney's dead?
233
00:13:49,500 --> 00:13:50,458
'Three months ago.'
234
00:13:50,542 --> 00:13:51,583
Cirrhosis of the liver.
235
00:13:51,667 --> 00:13:54,000
- Crap.
- 'So what?
236
00:13:54,083 --> 00:13:56,667
We still have 23
unsolved murders.
237
00:13:56,750 --> 00:13:58,083
We can't talk
to the father we'll settle
238
00:13:58,166 --> 00:13:59,583
for the son, he's
not dead, is he?
239
00:13:59,667 --> 00:14:02,834
No. Paul Chaney owns
a shop in Center City.
240
00:14:02,917 --> 00:14:05,208
Good. Out on the street, boss.
241
00:14:08,208 --> 00:14:09,959
'We should try this.'
242
00:14:10,041 --> 00:14:12,125
'We should give it a try..'
243
00:14:14,917 --> 00:14:16,417
'Uh, excuse me
just one second.'
244
00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:17,875
'Enjoy yourselves.'
245
00:14:20,166 --> 00:14:22,208
What's up, folks?
246
00:14:22,291 --> 00:14:24,417
'You want a pipe?'
247
00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:25,834
Depends what's in it.
248
00:14:25,917 --> 00:14:29,125
Tobacco the new marijuana.
249
00:14:29,208 --> 00:14:30,792
That's far out, Paul.
250
00:14:32,417 --> 00:14:34,417
Tobacco's legal, remember?
251
00:14:34,500 --> 00:14:36,125
Hey, you wanna check
the pipes, be my
guest.
252
00:14:36,208 --> 00:14:38,542
- Uh, we ain't narcs.
- We're homicide.
253
00:14:38,625 --> 00:14:41,667
Homicide? What do
you want with me?
254
00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:44,792
Your father, he had
a permit for a .38.
255
00:14:44,875 --> 00:14:47,458
We thought you might know
where that gun is now.
256
00:14:47,542 --> 00:14:49,041
Uh, excuse me.
257
00:14:49,125 --> 00:14:52,041
You mind just stepping
over here for a second?
258
00:14:55,250 --> 00:14:56,458
Why? What's this about?
259
00:14:56,542 --> 00:14:57,875
The Bell.
260
00:14:57,959 --> 00:14:59,375
A man was killed
there that night
261
00:14:59,458 --> 00:15:00,667
before the
fire broke out.
262
00:15:00,750 --> 00:15:02,291
And you want to
pin
it on my old man
263
00:15:02,375 --> 00:15:03,375
who's trying
to rest in
peace?
264
00:15:03,458 --> 00:15:04,667
We're trying
to solve a murder.
265
00:15:04,750 --> 00:15:06,625
Don't you mean murders?
266
00:15:06,709 --> 00:15:09,500
Look, I been through
this a hundred times.
267
00:15:09,583 --> 00:15:11,166
Twenty three people burned
to the crisp.
268
00:15:11,250 --> 00:15:13,125
Everyone blamed
my dad for it.
269
00:15:13,208 --> 00:15:15,041
That's why he
drank
himself to death.
270
00:15:15,125 --> 00:15:17,125
You don't think he was
responsible?
271
00:15:17,208 --> 00:15:19,333
My father loved The Bell.
272
00:15:19,417 --> 00:15:22,834
The idea of his torching it,
it's just craziness.
273
00:15:22,917 --> 00:15:25,792
So what about that .38, Paul?
274
00:15:25,875 --> 00:15:29,041
I threw it into the
Delaware,
like, a decade ago.
275
00:15:29,125 --> 00:15:31,500
I was worried my dad was
going to turn it on
himself.
276
00:15:33,375 --> 00:15:34,875
You remember a guy
named Benny Rosen?
277
00:15:34,959 --> 00:15:37,500
Yeah, yeah,
sure.
Benny the Rose.
278
00:15:37,583 --> 00:15:38,834
Everybody knew him.
279
00:15:38,917 --> 00:15:41,500
'Someone killed him
that night.'
280
00:15:41,583 --> 00:15:42,667
Shot him.
281
00:15:42,750 --> 00:15:46,333
No.
282
00:15:46,417 --> 00:15:47,834
Well, come on.
It wasn't my
dad.
283
00:15:47,917 --> 00:15:50,333
I was by his side the whole
night, at the judges' table.
284
00:15:50,417 --> 00:15:53,500
Who else at that disco
had it in for Benny?
285
00:15:53,583 --> 00:15:55,333
Benny was the king.
286
00:15:55,417 --> 00:15:58,291
People worshipped him.
Specially the women.
287
00:15:58,375 --> 00:16:01,375
The guy was a
real
Don Juan-Stein.
288
00:16:01,458 --> 00:16:04,542
He caught up in any
romantic triangles?
289
00:16:04,625 --> 00:16:07,500
Nah! No, he had
a serious girl.
290
00:16:07,583 --> 00:16:10,375
But you know them two
had a fight that day.
291
00:16:10,458 --> 00:16:12,667
'Now I know about this 'cause'
292
00:16:12,750 --> 00:16:14,750
I was doing something
you might think
unsavory
293
00:16:14,834 --> 00:16:18,750
but try to remember, I
was
just a horny kid at the
time.
294
00:16:23,625 --> 00:16:25,417
'Oh, yeah..'
295
00:16:25,500 --> 00:16:28,792
Do it for me, foxy fox.
296
00:16:31,709 --> 00:16:32,875
- This is the ladies room--
- Sonya.
297
00:16:32,959 --> 00:16:34,125
- Get the hell out!
- Don't cry.
298
00:16:34,208 --> 00:16:35,875
You're a
jerk
you know?
299
00:16:35,959 --> 00:16:37,959
I'm just having second
thoughts about eloping.
300
00:16:38,041 --> 00:16:39,375
It's putting too much
pressure on winning.
301
00:16:39,458 --> 00:16:41,709
I don't want it
to effect our dancing.
302
00:16:41,792 --> 00:16:42,917
You don't wanna elope 'cause
303
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,458
shiksa.
304
00:16:44,542 --> 00:16:46,083
That ain't true.
305
00:16:46,166 --> 00:16:47,667
I thought you said
you'd
rather die than lie to
me?
306
00:16:47,750 --> 00:16:49,375
You know how my father is.
307
00:16:49,458 --> 00:16:51,458
'It's 1978, for God's sake.'
308
00:16:51,542 --> 00:16:55,041
- We can do what we want.
- I know, but he'd kill me.
309
00:16:55,125 --> 00:16:57,375
Well, waiting
is killing me.
310
00:16:57,458 --> 00:16:59,667
So you got
a choice to
make.
311
00:16:59,750 --> 00:17:01,959
It's either him or me.
312
00:17:07,375 --> 00:17:10,917
I should kill you, making
a slut out of me.
313
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,166
You know, I was a virgin
before I met you!
314
00:17:18,166 --> 00:17:20,041
Oh, man, what an
idiot that guy
was.
315
00:17:20,125 --> 00:17:22,417
'Turning away a piece
of ass like that?'
316
00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:25,875
Believe me,
I wouldn't
have.
317
00:17:25,959 --> 00:17:28,000
I believe you, Paul.
318
00:17:33,375 --> 00:17:34,834
(Will)
'Mark Rigley?'
319
00:17:34,917 --> 00:17:36,750
- Who's askin'?
- 'Philly PD.'
320
00:17:36,834 --> 00:17:39,125
'Your parole officer said
we might find you here.'
321
00:17:39,208 --> 00:17:40,959
My crummy boss
telling lies again?
322
00:17:41,041 --> 00:17:42,583
What?
323
00:17:42,667 --> 00:17:44,667
This is about him in that
borrowed car incident, right?
324
00:17:44,750 --> 00:17:46,166
That was two months ago.
325
00:17:46,250 --> 00:17:50,125
- It was an emergency--
- No. It's not about that.
326
00:17:50,208 --> 00:17:52,625
Just walkin' the straight
and narrow here, man.
327
00:17:52,709 --> 00:17:54,250
Pushing a broom
for minimum wage.
328
00:17:54,333 --> 00:17:58,166
'Mark, in 1977 you were
shot at The Bell disco?'
329
00:17:58,250 --> 00:17:59,458
Yeah. So?
330
00:17:59,542 --> 00:18:01,792
Oh, we were kinda
hoping that, uh
331
00:18:01,875 --> 00:18:04,083
you kept that slug maybe
as a souvenir or something.
332
00:18:04,166 --> 00:18:07,125
We're trying to match it
to a bullet on another
case.
333
00:18:09,166 --> 00:18:11,917
You bet I know
where that slug
is.
334
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,250
Right here.
335
00:18:13,333 --> 00:18:14,834
'For 27 years.'
336
00:18:14,917 --> 00:18:17,291
'Sets off metal
detectors like crazy.'
337
00:18:17,375 --> 00:18:19,000
The docs couldn't take it out?
338
00:18:19,083 --> 00:18:20,333
'Uh, not back then.'
339
00:18:20,417 --> 00:18:22,959
Maybe now, modern medicine.
340
00:18:23,041 --> 00:18:25,625
You'd be willing
to give it a go?
341
00:18:25,709 --> 00:18:27,417
I'm civic-minded.
342
00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:30,208
There's nothing I wouldn't do
to assist Philly's finest.
343
00:18:30,291 --> 00:18:31,709
'Course, uh.'
344
00:18:31,792 --> 00:18:33,291
Philly's finest
gotta assist me.
345
00:18:33,375 --> 00:18:34,500
Assist how?
346
00:18:34,583 --> 00:18:35,667
How much you think
it's worth going
347
00:18:35,750 --> 00:18:37,709
under the knife?
348
00:18:37,792 --> 00:18:39,000
A couple grand?
349
00:18:39,083 --> 00:18:41,750
That's mighty civic-minded
of you, Mark.
350
00:18:41,834 --> 00:18:44,417
Hey, capitalism made this
country great, my friend.
351
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:46,834
That two grand?
352
00:18:46,917 --> 00:18:49,041
That ain't gonna happen.
353
00:18:49,125 --> 00:18:50,917
Then no deal.
354
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,208
You guys wanna buy
my ass bullet.
355
00:18:53,291 --> 00:18:55,291
You know where I work.
356
00:18:59,583 --> 00:19:02,417
- 'You lied to us, Sonya.'
- Lied?
357
00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:04,709
You said you and Benny
were gettin' married
358
00:19:04,792 --> 00:19:06,208
but you broke up
with him that
night.
359
00:19:06,291 --> 00:19:09,250
In the ladies room.
360
00:19:09,333 --> 00:19:11,375
No.
361
00:19:11,458 --> 00:19:14,083
'I mean..'
362
00:19:14,166 --> 00:19:16,375
...we would have
worked it out.
363
00:19:16,458 --> 00:19:18,959
"I should kill you,
makin' a slut outta me."
364
00:19:19,041 --> 00:19:23,083
'Two hours later Benny ends
up with a bullet in his
head.'
365
00:19:23,166 --> 00:19:26,250
Benny was the love of my life.
366
00:19:29,083 --> 00:19:30,834
How do you know
what I said, anyway?
367
00:19:30,917 --> 00:19:33,000
Where were you when the
fire started, Sonya?
368
00:19:33,083 --> 00:19:34,125
On the floor.
369
00:19:34,208 --> 00:19:36,417
It was Doreen blabbin',
wasn't it?
370
00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:40,083
That nosy bitch knew
everything 'bout everything.
371
00:19:40,166 --> 00:19:41,125
Who's Doreen?
372
00:19:41,208 --> 00:19:43,542
Doreen Di Nova.
373
00:19:43,625 --> 00:19:46,417
Had a real thing for Benny.
374
00:19:46,500 --> 00:19:48,166
Always trying
to steal him from me.
375
00:19:48,250 --> 00:19:49,375
That right?
376
00:19:49,458 --> 00:19:52,750
She was competitive
with me over everything
377
00:19:52,834 --> 00:19:56,083
Benny, dancing,
you name it.
378
00:19:56,166 --> 00:19:57,792
'Was she in the dance
contest that night?'
379
00:19:57,875 --> 00:19:59,583
Yeah. Her, and
her partner Ken
380
00:19:59,667 --> 00:20:01,750
were our main
competition.
381
00:20:03,333 --> 00:20:06,250
She would have done
anything to win.
382
00:20:13,375 --> 00:20:15,333
(male #1)
'Last chance
for a practice dance.'
383
00:20:15,417 --> 00:20:17,208
'One hour till
starting time .'
384
00:20:17,291 --> 00:20:18,542
'You heard me, baby.'
385
00:20:18,625 --> 00:20:20,583
'One hour.'
386
00:20:25,250 --> 00:20:27,458
Oh, my heels.
387
00:20:27,542 --> 00:20:30,041
That's okay. I
got
another pair.
388
00:20:35,375 --> 00:20:36,959
Come on, Benny.
Dance with me.
389
00:20:37,041 --> 00:20:37,959
No. I got a partner.
390
00:20:38,041 --> 00:20:39,333
It's not too late
to switch.
391
00:20:39,417 --> 00:20:41,208
We won last year.
We could do it again this
year.
392
00:20:41,291 --> 00:20:42,625
I'm with
Sonya
now, Doreen.
393
00:20:42,709 --> 00:20:43,834
I'm better than her.
394
00:20:43,917 --> 00:20:45,333
That don't
matter.
I love Sonya.
395
00:20:45,417 --> 00:20:46,458
And I love Kenny.
396
00:20:46,542 --> 00:20:47,917
But you and me,
we could go places,
397
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,792
win real competitions
in Manhattan and the like.
398
00:20:50,875 --> 00:20:51,792
Get it outta your head.
399
00:20:51,875 --> 00:20:53,166
It's not going to happen.
400
00:20:54,250 --> 00:20:55,625
Hey, Doreen.
401
00:20:55,709 --> 00:20:57,542
Got your
headlights
on, I see.
402
00:20:57,625 --> 00:20:58,834
Why you got to be
so selfish, Sonya?
403
00:20:58,917 --> 00:21:00,041
You already got
Benny in the sack.
404
00:21:00,125 --> 00:21:01,583
Why can't I have him
on the dance floor?
405
00:21:01,667 --> 00:21:02,792
Why should I?
406
00:21:02,875 --> 00:21:05,750
'Cause you can't keep up
with him and I can.
407
00:21:05,834 --> 00:21:08,500
- I ain't heard no
complaints.
- I ain't made any.
408
00:21:08,583 --> 00:21:09,709
Fine, be that way.
409
00:21:09,792 --> 00:21:11,583
You're not gonna be the
king forever, Benny.
410
00:21:11,667 --> 00:21:13,375
A lot could happen between
now and the contest.
411
00:21:13,458 --> 00:21:14,709
What is that
supposed to mean?
412
00:21:14,792 --> 00:21:17,125
It means I'm going home
wearing that tiara.
413
00:21:17,208 --> 00:21:20,083
- Problem, baby?
- No, there's no problem
here.
414
00:21:20,166 --> 00:21:22,750
Come on, hot stuff.
You're too foxy to fight.
415
00:21:22,834 --> 00:21:24,625
- Polack.
- Slut.
416
00:21:26,542 --> 00:21:28,959
'"A lot can happen between
now and the contest."'
417
00:21:29,041 --> 00:21:30,125
And that's a quote.
418
00:21:30,208 --> 00:21:31,625
You think it
was a threat?
419
00:21:31,709 --> 00:21:33,709
I just know
she was dying
420
00:21:33,792 --> 00:21:36,458
to be dancing queen
two years running.
421
00:21:42,834 --> 00:21:43,875
'Doreen Di Nova?'
422
00:21:43,959 --> 00:21:45,083
Yeah?
423
00:21:45,166 --> 00:21:48,208
We need to talk to
you
about Benny Rosen.
424
00:21:48,291 --> 00:21:50,875
Benny the Rose? Ooh!
425
00:21:50,959 --> 00:21:52,709
There's a blast
from the past.
426
00:21:52,792 --> 00:21:54,208
You remember
threatening
him?
427
00:21:54,291 --> 00:21:55,875
What?
428
00:21:57,500 --> 00:21:59,333
Uh, Gloria.
429
00:21:59,417 --> 00:22:01,208
Hang on a second.
430
00:22:01,291 --> 00:22:03,291
I need a smoke.
431
00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:16,667
You been talking to Sonya.
432
00:22:16,750 --> 00:22:18,917
Huh, right?
433
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,417
What is she a fatty
now or what?
434
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:22,083
Make good on
that threat, Doreen?
435
00:22:22,166 --> 00:22:24,333
''Cause Benny was
murdered that night.'
436
00:22:24,417 --> 00:22:27,417
Oh, yeah? Well,
that's news to
me.
437
00:22:27,500 --> 00:22:28,875
Where were you when
the fire started?
438
00:22:28,959 --> 00:22:33,083
On the floor,
with my partner
Ken.
439
00:22:33,166 --> 00:22:35,458
What, did Sonya tell
you I whacked Benny?
440
00:22:35,542 --> 00:22:36,667
You denying you made a threat?
441
00:22:36,750 --> 00:22:38,417
'I might have
said something'
442
00:22:38,500 --> 00:22:40,250
as a psych-out.
443
00:22:40,333 --> 00:22:43,166
- To win the contest?
- Yeah.
444
00:22:43,250 --> 00:22:46,834
A 1000 bucks was like
a million to us back then.
445
00:22:46,917 --> 00:22:49,667
And Ken needed
that money, bad.
446
00:22:49,750 --> 00:22:51,542
Why's that?
447
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:54,417
This is ancient history, right?
448
00:22:54,500 --> 00:22:57,792
I can't get in trouble for
breakin' any narcotics laws?
449
00:22:57,875 --> 00:23:00,792
We're homicide.
450
00:23:00,875 --> 00:23:02,458
Well, back then
451
00:23:02,542 --> 00:23:04,959
coke was the drug of choice.
452
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,250
Hey, Hoover, save
a bump for me.
453
00:23:08,333 --> 00:23:10,542
Don't worry,
baby,
I got more.
454
00:23:17,291 --> 00:23:19,500
Damn!
455
00:23:19,583 --> 00:23:21,250
You're out.
456
00:23:22,750 --> 00:23:24,125
You snorted it all?
457
00:23:24,208 --> 00:23:27,875
Crap!
I'm in trouble,
baby.
458
00:23:27,959 --> 00:23:29,792
- Real trouble.
- What do you mean?
459
00:23:29,875 --> 00:23:30,959
I was supposed to deal
that all that blow.
460
00:23:31,041 --> 00:23:32,458
I'm into Chaney for thousands.
461
00:23:32,542 --> 00:23:33,750
Well, you should have
thought of that before
462
00:23:33,834 --> 00:23:37,333
you snorted up
all his merchandise.
463
00:23:37,417 --> 00:23:39,250
I'm screwed.
Chaney's gonna kill me.
464
00:23:45,417 --> 00:23:47,959
You guys got the studio
upstairs reserved?
465
00:23:48,041 --> 00:23:49,834
That's right.
466
00:23:49,917 --> 00:23:51,000
Well, if you aren't
gonna use it I thought
467
00:23:51,083 --> 00:23:52,166
maybe I'd get in
some practicing.
468
00:23:52,250 --> 00:23:54,500
We're gonna use it.
469
00:23:59,291 --> 00:24:01,583
Doreen, that stuff throws off
your timing, makes you sloppy.
470
00:24:01,667 --> 00:24:04,667
If I were you, I'd be worried
about Sonya's two left hoofs
471
00:24:04,750 --> 00:24:06,417
'and not my timing.'
472
00:24:06,500 --> 00:24:09,000
You used to be
good, dedicated.
473
00:24:09,083 --> 00:24:10,834
How come you don't practice
no more like you used to?
474
00:24:10,917 --> 00:24:12,709
What do you
care, bagel
boy?
475
00:24:12,792 --> 00:24:15,417
We're still gonna wipe
the floor with you and
Sonya.
476
00:24:23,667 --> 00:24:24,792
I guess I should've
477
00:24:24,875 --> 00:24:28,083
realized Ken was
an addict but, uh
478
00:24:28,166 --> 00:24:29,375
at the time everybody
was snorting
479
00:24:29,458 --> 00:24:30,709
'like there was no tomorrow.'
480
00:24:30,792 --> 00:24:32,208
'You still in contact with Ken?'
481
00:24:32,291 --> 00:24:36,875
Nah. Fire busted us all apart.
482
00:24:36,959 --> 00:24:40,208
Burning of The Bell was the
day
disco died in South Philly.
483
00:24:40,291 --> 00:24:43,083
Was Ken an anti-semite
along with being an
addict?
484
00:24:43,166 --> 00:24:47,083
Instead of Benny the Rose, he
called him Benny the Nose, so.
485
00:24:47,166 --> 00:24:49,583
So, Ken could have done
something to Benny that
night.
486
00:24:49,667 --> 00:24:51,583
'Maybe to knock him
out of the contest'
487
00:24:51,667 --> 00:24:55,041
win that grand to
pay
off his coke debt?
488
00:24:55,125 --> 00:24:57,208
Though Sonya says you
489
00:24:57,291 --> 00:24:59,250
were the one who was
so desperate to win.
490
00:24:59,333 --> 00:25:01,750
Aah, well, that figures.
491
00:25:01,834 --> 00:25:03,250
I mean, me and the
Polish American Princess
492
00:25:03,333 --> 00:25:06,709
weren't exactly
soul sisters.
493
00:25:06,792 --> 00:25:10,041
But I wasn't a coke
fiend like Ken
494
00:25:10,125 --> 00:25:13,333
and I wasn't into Chaney
for thousands of dollars.
495
00:25:20,959 --> 00:25:22,417
'The bullet's still in him?'
496
00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:24,667
'Says it's a pain in
his ass, literally.'
497
00:25:24,750 --> 00:25:26,583
And, he'll only
cooperate for a price.
498
00:25:26,667 --> 00:25:28,542
- What price?
- Neighborhood of two grand.
499
00:25:28,625 --> 00:25:30,000
We don't live in
that neighborhood.
500
00:25:30,083 --> 00:25:32,291
Can't we compel him
to give us the bullet?
501
00:25:32,375 --> 00:25:34,583
- Get a search warrant?
- Check with the lawyers.
502
00:25:34,667 --> 00:25:37,250
Doreen's partner,
Ken Mazzacone, served a stint
503
00:25:37,333 --> 00:25:39,625
at Camp Hill in '82
for dealing coke.
504
00:25:39,709 --> 00:25:40,709
Went straight,
got a license
505
00:25:40,792 --> 00:25:42,875
with the city,
drives a cab now.
506
00:25:42,959 --> 00:25:44,125
Want to go see him?
507
00:25:44,208 --> 00:25:45,625
Where are you with
Doreen and Sonya?
508
00:25:45,709 --> 00:25:47,208
Both got motive,
both got alibis.
509
00:25:47,291 --> 00:25:49,667
They say they were on the dance
floor when the fire broke out.
510
00:25:49,750 --> 00:25:52,250
Witness statements
from '78 back that
up?
511
00:25:52,333 --> 00:25:53,500
Yeah, I'm on it.
512
00:25:53,583 --> 00:25:55,333
You two, see if you can
find this cab driver.
513
00:25:55,417 --> 00:25:57,208
Lil, go
visit
ADA Kite
514
00:25:57,291 --> 00:25:58,709
and find out about
that search warrant
515
00:25:58,792 --> 00:26:00,875
for Mr. Rigley's backside.
516
00:26:14,458 --> 00:26:15,667
Gotta take
the first hack in line.
517
00:26:15,750 --> 00:26:17,125
You're the
hack
we want, Ken.
518
00:26:17,208 --> 00:26:19,250
Do us a favor,
step
on out of there.
519
00:26:24,709 --> 00:26:27,917
You remember
"Benny the Nose" Ken?
520
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,083
From The Bell?
521
00:26:29,166 --> 00:26:30,667
- Yeah, I remember Benny.
- Yeah.
522
00:26:30,750 --> 00:26:33,709
Turns out he was murdered
before the fire broke out.
523
00:26:33,792 --> 00:26:36,500
- That's a shame.
- Ain't it?
524
00:26:36,583 --> 00:26:37,834
What's it got
to do with me?
525
00:26:37,917 --> 00:26:39,500
We heard you
didn't like
him.
526
00:26:39,583 --> 00:26:41,166
That a crime?
He was uppity.
527
00:26:41,250 --> 00:26:42,667
'Cause he was a Jew?
528
00:26:42,750 --> 00:26:45,625
'Cause he was a drag.
A real goody two-shoes.
529
00:26:45,709 --> 00:26:48,667
Wouldn't deal coke
for Chaney, right?
530
00:26:48,750 --> 00:26:50,500
Relax, this
isn't drug
bust.
531
00:26:50,583 --> 00:26:53,875
Well, yeah. Chaney didn't like
a lot of people telling him no.
532
00:26:53,959 --> 00:26:55,291
He liked you, though.
533
00:26:55,375 --> 00:26:58,375
Hey, I ain't denying I
made a little extra cash
534
00:26:58,458 --> 00:27:00,041
selling merchandise
for Mr. Chaney.
535
00:27:00,125 --> 00:27:02,166
Except you used
more than you
sold.
536
00:27:02,250 --> 00:27:03,709
Ended up owing Chaney
a lot of money.
537
00:27:03,792 --> 00:27:06,875
Heard you had a real love
affair
going with the nose candy.
538
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,375
Yeah, well, I'm off
of that particular
539
00:27:08,458 --> 00:27:10,458
diet plan now, as
you can see.
540
00:27:10,542 --> 00:27:11,709
Thousand bucks, though.
541
00:27:11,792 --> 00:27:13,291
Go a long way to
paying
off your debt.
542
00:27:13,375 --> 00:27:15,375
All you had to do was
eliminate the competition.
543
00:27:15,458 --> 00:27:17,792
I've eliminated nobody.
Didn't need to.
544
00:27:17,875 --> 00:27:20,208
I was just as good
a dancer as Benny was.
545
00:27:20,291 --> 00:27:21,709
We heard Benny
was the king.
546
00:27:21,792 --> 00:27:23,333
Then you heard wrong.
547
00:27:23,417 --> 00:27:25,542
Where were you when
the fire broke out, Ken?
548
00:27:26,709 --> 00:27:29,000
I was on the floor,
warming up with Doreen.
549
00:27:53,208 --> 00:27:54,375
Who's the rabbi?
550
00:27:54,458 --> 00:27:55,542
'That's Benny's dad.'
551
00:27:55,625 --> 00:27:57,041
- You sure?
- Yeah, Mr. Rosen.
552
00:27:57,125 --> 00:27:58,625
He comes into
the cleaners sometimes.
553
00:27:58,709 --> 00:28:01,083
- I'm gonna go say hello.
- Why?
554
00:28:01,166 --> 00:28:02,750
Because he's looking
for Benny
555
00:28:02,834 --> 00:28:05,166
and I'm going to point him
in the right direction.
556
00:28:05,250 --> 00:28:07,208
Mess with The Nose's head.
557
00:28:09,583 --> 00:28:13,166
Mr. Rosen, Doreen Di Nova
from the Fluff and Fold.
558
00:28:15,083 --> 00:28:17,750
- Have you seen my son?
- Sure.
559
00:28:17,834 --> 00:28:19,417
He's in the White Room. Come on.
560
00:28:20,834 --> 00:28:23,667
Know why they call it
the White Room, Mr. Rosen?
561
00:28:23,750 --> 00:28:25,583
'Cause that's where
they do all the blow.
562
00:28:26,709 --> 00:28:28,750
Cocaine.
563
00:28:28,834 --> 00:28:31,166
You better stop
talking, young
man.
564
00:28:31,250 --> 00:28:32,583
Or?
565
00:28:32,667 --> 00:28:35,000
You don't want
to know "or."
566
00:28:37,125 --> 00:28:38,333
Right in there.
567
00:28:38,417 --> 00:28:40,750
shalomy
to Benny for us.
568
00:28:44,208 --> 00:28:46,542
Man was pissed going
into that room.
569
00:28:46,625 --> 00:28:49,208
I wouldn't want to be
Benny at that moment.
570
00:28:49,291 --> 00:28:51,875
And you're positive
it was Benny's
father?
571
00:28:51,959 --> 00:28:53,792
Hey, who else would be
at The Bell hanging out
572
00:28:53,875 --> 00:28:55,500
with a Frisbee
on his head?
573
00:28:59,917 --> 00:29:01,625
- Not a chance.
- Don't say that, Kite.
574
00:29:01,709 --> 00:29:03,792
'No judge is gonna sign
a search warrant'
575
00:29:03,875 --> 00:29:06,291
for a guy's body
cavity
to remove a bullet.
576
00:29:06,375 --> 00:29:08,125
- Just won't happen.
- So that's it?
577
00:29:08,208 --> 00:29:10,000
- That's it. No sale.
- Out of luck.
578
00:29:10,083 --> 00:29:13,750
- Try again tomorrow.
- Just like the exhumation.
579
00:29:13,834 --> 00:29:16,000
You're still
smarting
about that?
580
00:29:16,083 --> 00:29:17,959
We're supposed to be
on the same team here.
581
00:29:18,041 --> 00:29:21,583
'We are. And my job
as your teammate'
582
00:29:21,667 --> 00:29:24,208
is to let you know
what's
legally plausible.
583
00:29:24,291 --> 00:29:25,709
This isn't.
584
00:29:25,792 --> 00:29:29,875
How about the city offering
some cash as incentive?
585
00:29:29,959 --> 00:29:32,500
What is-what is
this case anyway?
586
00:29:32,583 --> 00:29:34,333
'It's a..'
587
00:29:34,417 --> 00:29:36,500
...disco murder.
588
00:29:36,583 --> 00:29:39,333
- Disco?
- Mm-hmm.
589
00:29:39,417 --> 00:29:40,709
Okay, look it..
590
00:29:46,208 --> 00:29:47,875
- Stop that. Kite.
- We should go dancing.
591
00:29:47,959 --> 00:29:50,834
- We should go dancing.
- No, no.
592
00:29:50,917 --> 00:29:53,250
I'll take that
as a maybe, huh?
593
00:29:53,333 --> 00:29:54,333
Whoo!
594
00:29:55,667 --> 00:29:56,667
Kite, honestly..
595
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:59,542
...this could be
a deal breaker.
596
00:30:03,875 --> 00:30:05,834
Eh, this, uh..
597
00:30:05,917 --> 00:30:07,834
...this guy, the, uh..
598
00:30:07,917 --> 00:30:09,792
...with the
slug
in his ass
599
00:30:09,875 --> 00:30:11,834
is he in any
trouble
with the law?
600
00:30:11,917 --> 00:30:14,417
Out on parole for a B and E.
601
00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:16,000
Let me talk to
his
parole officer.
602
00:30:16,083 --> 00:30:18,041
See if he'll go
for reduced
parole
603
00:30:18,125 --> 00:30:20,250
in exchange for
getting
that slug taken out.
604
00:30:20,333 --> 00:30:23,792
Do I have to do
anything in return?
605
00:30:23,875 --> 00:30:26,041
Dance.
606
00:30:28,041 --> 00:30:29,375
'Why didn't you tell us'
607
00:30:29,458 --> 00:30:33,542
'you were at the disco
that night, Mr. Rosen?'
608
00:30:33,625 --> 00:30:36,875
I didn't see
how it mattered.
609
00:30:36,959 --> 00:30:40,291
'Your wife know you went
to see Benny that night?'
610
00:30:40,375 --> 00:30:44,583
In orthodox temples,
men and women sit apart.
611
00:30:44,667 --> 00:30:48,041
I was gone, and back before
the service was over.
612
00:30:48,125 --> 00:30:50,750
'She didn't know.'
613
00:30:50,834 --> 00:30:52,583
What did you say to your son?
614
00:30:52,667 --> 00:30:53,583
That's private.
615
00:30:53,667 --> 00:30:55,250
'Not good enough, Mr. Rosen.'
616
00:30:55,333 --> 00:30:56,750
Don't you want to know
who killed your boy?
617
00:30:56,834 --> 00:30:58,000
The 22 other people?
618
00:30:58,083 --> 00:30:59,417
Unless you already know.
619
00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:00,959
We know you got a temper.
620
00:31:01,041 --> 00:31:02,667
And how betrayed
you felt by Benny.
621
00:31:02,750 --> 00:31:05,375
You think I killed my own son?
622
00:31:05,458 --> 00:31:07,333
You had
opportunity,
and motive.
623
00:31:07,417 --> 00:31:10,291
You disapproved of him.
You said so yourself.
624
00:31:10,375 --> 00:31:12,417
For good reason.
625
00:31:18,959 --> 00:31:20,166
'Dad.'
626
00:31:20,250 --> 00:31:22,208
What are you doing here?
627
00:31:26,125 --> 00:31:28,166
How can you pray
in this cesspool?
628
00:31:28,250 --> 00:31:29,959
What's it matter
where I pray, huh?
629
00:31:30,041 --> 00:31:31,125
As long as I pray?
630
00:31:31,208 --> 00:31:32,417
And what are
you praying
for?
631
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:35,375
To win a
ridiculous
dance contest?
632
00:31:35,458 --> 00:31:37,792
Or to get your
hands
on more blow?
633
00:31:37,875 --> 00:31:39,792
I don't do that, Dad.
634
00:31:39,875 --> 00:31:41,000
Come to temple with me.
635
00:31:41,083 --> 00:31:43,000
It's Friday
night.
Sabbath.
636
00:31:43,083 --> 00:31:45,291
I'm not going to temple.
637
00:31:45,375 --> 00:31:47,208
I'm not going to dental
school either, Dad.
638
00:31:51,959 --> 00:31:54,500
You choose this degradation
over your heritage?
639
00:31:54,583 --> 00:31:56,750
This is my heritage now, Dad.
640
00:31:56,834 --> 00:31:59,041
- Disco.
- Disco's a fad.
641
00:31:59,125 --> 00:32:01,959
Your family, the temple
that's your life.
642
00:32:02,041 --> 00:32:04,166
Disco's my life, Dad.
643
00:32:04,250 --> 00:32:07,500
Alright? It's not a fad.
644
00:32:07,583 --> 00:32:10,417
It's here to stay.
645
00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:13,208
And so am I.
646
00:32:13,291 --> 00:32:14,667
In fact..
647
00:32:14,750 --> 00:32:17,834
I'm gonna marry
my dance partner
648
00:32:17,917 --> 00:32:19,500
the girl I love.
649
00:32:19,583 --> 00:32:21,333
shiksa.
650
00:32:28,792 --> 00:32:32,834
You do, and you'll never step
foot in my house again.
651
00:32:38,709 --> 00:32:41,125
Fine.
652
00:32:41,208 --> 00:32:43,208
Fine.
653
00:32:47,166 --> 00:32:49,333
Then you're no longer my son.
654
00:32:53,875 --> 00:32:55,750
I renounce you.
655
00:32:58,333 --> 00:33:01,542
It's why I didn't tell you.
656
00:33:01,625 --> 00:33:05,083
Why I never told my wife.
657
00:33:05,166 --> 00:33:08,875
Those were the last words
I ever spoke to my son.
658
00:33:11,083 --> 00:33:14,166
"I...renounce...you."
659
00:33:18,041 --> 00:33:21,083
Where'd you go after you left
the White Room, Mr. Rosen?
660
00:33:21,166 --> 00:33:23,750
I went back
to the
temple.
661
00:33:23,834 --> 00:33:25,625
And while I was praying
662
00:33:25,709 --> 00:33:29,166
my son was murdered
663
00:33:29,250 --> 00:33:31,000
burned to death.
664
00:33:43,542 --> 00:33:46,709
Kite did us a solid, swinging
that deal with Rigley.
665
00:33:46,792 --> 00:33:48,166
Rigley went for
it
pretty quick
666
00:33:48,250 --> 00:33:50,583
when he found out he
could miss a day of
work.
667
00:33:50,667 --> 00:33:52,792
Sweeping up cigarette butts
in 20-degree weather
668
00:33:52,875 --> 00:33:54,542
or taking an easy
outpatient procedure.
669
00:33:54,625 --> 00:33:56,333
I can see taking
curtain number two.
670
00:33:56,417 --> 00:33:58,625
Slug's in pretty good
condition, considering.
671
00:33:58,709 --> 00:34:01,375
Is it a match
to Benny's bullet?
672
00:34:01,458 --> 00:34:03,250
Congratulations,
Detectives.
673
00:34:03,333 --> 00:34:04,667
You have twins.
674
00:34:06,875 --> 00:34:08,208
Nice.
675
00:34:08,291 --> 00:34:10,792
16 witness statements say Chaney
was at the judges' table
676
00:34:10,875 --> 00:34:12,333
all the way up
until the fire.
677
00:34:12,417 --> 00:34:14,000
His gun, but he
didn't use it.
678
00:34:14,083 --> 00:34:16,000
What about our two dancing
queens, Sonya and Doreen
679
00:34:16,083 --> 00:34:17,959
and the cabbie, Ken Mazzacone?
680
00:34:18,041 --> 00:34:20,750
Alibi's held up. People saw
them all on the dance floor.
681
00:34:20,834 --> 00:34:22,583
And we verified David
Rosen was back in temple
682
00:34:22,667 --> 00:34:24,458
before the fire broke out.
683
00:34:24,542 --> 00:34:26,125
Who are we overlooking?
684
00:34:26,208 --> 00:34:27,959
'Witnesses put Chaney
at the judges' table'
685
00:34:28,041 --> 00:34:29,709
but what about
his son, Paul?
686
00:34:29,792 --> 00:34:31,375
No statements about
his whereabouts.
687
00:34:31,458 --> 00:34:33,542
'Just his own, right? Said he
was with his father all
night.'
688
00:34:33,625 --> 00:34:35,625
A father who's
conveniently dead.
689
00:34:35,709 --> 00:34:38,125
Little weasel like him, he'd
know where his dad kept his
gun.
690
00:34:38,208 --> 00:34:39,625
And he'd have access
to the White Room.
691
00:34:39,709 --> 00:34:42,500
Now, we've only
one problem, motive?
692
00:34:42,583 --> 00:34:44,792
Why would Paul want
to kill Benny Rosen?
693
00:34:44,875 --> 00:34:48,667
'Paul Chaney was
a little perv.'
694
00:34:48,750 --> 00:34:51,000
He have any beef
with Benny?
695
00:34:51,083 --> 00:34:53,333
Paul kind idolized Benny.
696
00:34:53,417 --> 00:34:55,166
Wanted to dance like him.
697
00:34:56,583 --> 00:34:57,917
He any good?
698
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,333
Total klutz.
699
00:34:59,417 --> 00:35:02,917
He was always showing off
for Benny, "Watch me"
700
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,000
like an annoying
kid brother, you know?
701
00:35:05,083 --> 00:35:07,333
He show off for Benny
the night of the fire?
702
00:35:09,500 --> 00:35:12,667
Earlier that day he did.
703
00:35:12,750 --> 00:35:14,667
We were rehearsing a number.
704
00:35:36,625 --> 00:35:37,625
Hey, Benny
705
00:35:37,709 --> 00:35:39,542
'can I cut in?'
706
00:35:39,625 --> 00:35:41,542
We're kind of working
on a move here, Paul.
707
00:35:41,625 --> 00:35:44,500
'I know, the Argentinean Tango.'
708
00:35:44,583 --> 00:35:46,333
I can do it.
709
00:35:46,417 --> 00:35:47,542
Watch me.
710
00:35:53,125 --> 00:35:55,041
- That's not bad.
- Really?
711
00:35:55,125 --> 00:35:56,834
'You think I could dancer
one day like you, Benny?'
712
00:35:56,917 --> 00:35:59,583
Yeah, Paul. Just
you keep
practicing.
713
00:35:59,667 --> 00:36:01,667
I will, 'cause, one day
714
00:36:01,750 --> 00:36:03,792
I'm gonna be
the king like you.
715
00:36:05,667 --> 00:36:07,458
'Hey, Doreen.'
716
00:36:07,542 --> 00:36:10,166
Benny says I'm
a good dancer.
717
00:36:10,250 --> 00:36:11,542
Don't let it go to your head.
718
00:36:11,625 --> 00:36:13,709
He thinks Sonya's good, too.
719
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,125
Dance with me, Doreen.
720
00:36:24,291 --> 00:36:26,083
Yeah, alright.
721
00:36:43,667 --> 00:36:45,166
Come with me.
722
00:36:56,208 --> 00:36:57,750
Why would a disco queen like
723
00:36:57,834 --> 00:37:00,250
Doreen let Paul feel her up?
724
00:37:00,333 --> 00:37:01,959
Owner's son, maybe.
725
00:37:02,041 --> 00:37:03,834
Where was Doreen
taking the kid?
726
00:37:03,917 --> 00:37:05,583
Toward the White Room.
727
00:37:08,208 --> 00:37:11,291
Me and that little twerp?
728
00:37:11,375 --> 00:37:12,834
What, are you nuts?
729
00:37:12,917 --> 00:37:15,792
According to Sonya, you guys
were all over each other.
730
00:37:15,875 --> 00:37:18,375
He was all over
me,
more like it.
731
00:37:18,458 --> 00:37:20,333
Why'd you let Paul
grope you like that?
732
00:37:20,417 --> 00:37:22,458
I felt sorry for him.
733
00:37:22,542 --> 00:37:25,166
You take him back
to the White Room?
734
00:37:25,250 --> 00:37:28,166
We talked to your old
dancing partner Ken.
735
00:37:28,250 --> 00:37:30,041
Oh, yeah?
736
00:37:30,125 --> 00:37:31,375
How's he?
737
00:37:31,458 --> 00:37:32,792
Fat.
738
00:37:32,875 --> 00:37:34,500
Ken says he can't remember
you being
739
00:37:34,583 --> 00:37:37,291
on the dance floor with him
before the fire started.
740
00:37:42,417 --> 00:37:44,333
I don't believe this.
741
00:37:44,417 --> 00:37:46,709
You're trying to pin
Benny's murder on me?
742
00:37:46,792 --> 00:37:47,917
You got motive.
743
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,291
And without an alibi,
you got opportunity.
744
00:37:50,375 --> 00:37:51,750
Unless you give us
good reason not to.
745
00:37:51,834 --> 00:37:53,291
'We're going to have
to arrest you.'
746
00:37:53,375 --> 00:37:54,834
The hell you are.
747
00:37:54,917 --> 00:37:57,083
I didn't kill Benny.
748
00:37:58,709 --> 00:37:59,667
Then who did?
749
00:37:59,750 --> 00:38:02,208
I don't know.
750
00:38:02,291 --> 00:38:04,375
I swear.
751
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,625
I just wanted to win.
752
00:38:13,333 --> 00:38:15,750
Here's the deal,
you little horn dog.
753
00:38:15,834 --> 00:38:17,667
I'm listening.
754
00:38:17,750 --> 00:38:20,250
So, Benny always comes in here
right before dancing, right?
755
00:38:20,333 --> 00:38:21,417
Right.
756
00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:23,083
While he's doing
whatever he does
757
00:38:23,166 --> 00:38:25,125
you sneak in wearing
a ski mask
758
00:38:25,208 --> 00:38:27,709
whack him one
on the knee.
759
00:38:27,792 --> 00:38:29,875
Use a baseball
bat, a tire iron
760
00:38:29,959 --> 00:38:31,125
anything that'll
do the job.
761
00:38:31,208 --> 00:38:33,250
And you'll let me
make it with you?
762
00:38:35,959 --> 00:38:37,166
You knock Benny
out of the contest
763
00:38:37,250 --> 00:38:39,333
I'll let you do
whatever you want.
764
00:38:42,125 --> 00:38:45,166
The only thing the little
twerp was supposed to do
765
00:38:45,250 --> 00:38:47,250
was wallop Benny on the leg
766
00:38:48,333 --> 00:38:49,709
'put him out
of commission.'
767
00:38:49,792 --> 00:38:51,291
But instead he killed him.
768
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,041
Then torched the place.
769
00:38:53,125 --> 00:38:56,291
I don't know what
Paul did or didn't do.
770
00:38:56,375 --> 00:38:58,291
I was on the dance floor
771
00:38:58,375 --> 00:39:00,417
'like I told you.'
772
00:39:00,500 --> 00:39:03,709
Oh, God.
773
00:39:03,792 --> 00:39:06,583
I didn't want any permanent
harm to come to Benny.
774
00:39:08,458 --> 00:39:11,250
But the thought of that
talentless bitch Sonya
775
00:39:11,333 --> 00:39:13,250
winning the contest,
and wearing the tiara.
776
00:39:13,333 --> 00:39:17,041
I couldn't let that happen.
777
00:39:17,125 --> 00:39:19,000
You gotta understand.
778
00:39:19,083 --> 00:39:21,041
I was better than her.
779
00:39:21,125 --> 00:39:23,166
Way better.
780
00:39:24,625 --> 00:39:27,959
Twenty three counts of murder
in the first degree, Paul.
781
00:39:28,041 --> 00:39:29,125
I want a lawyer.
782
00:39:29,208 --> 00:39:30,500
I don't blame you.
783
00:39:30,583 --> 00:39:32,125
Won't make a difference.
784
00:39:32,208 --> 00:39:34,709
We got physical evidence.
785
00:39:34,792 --> 00:39:37,125
That's the slug from
Benny Rosen's skull.
786
00:39:37,208 --> 00:39:39,041
Here's a slug from
your dad's gun
787
00:39:39,125 --> 00:39:40,667
one you threw
in the Delaware.
788
00:39:40,750 --> 00:39:42,333
'Maybe you forgot'
789
00:39:42,417 --> 00:39:43,959
you shot a Burglar
back in '77.
790
00:39:44,041 --> 00:39:46,125
They're a perfect match, Paul.
791
00:39:50,291 --> 00:39:51,542
- So?
- So.
792
00:39:51,625 --> 00:39:53,500
We know the bullet
that killed Benny
793
00:39:53,583 --> 00:39:55,041
came from your
dad's gun.
794
00:39:55,125 --> 00:39:56,500
Which you had access to.
795
00:39:56,583 --> 00:40:00,625
Plus Doreen told us
about your little deal.
796
00:40:00,709 --> 00:40:04,250
'Knock Benny out of the
contest,
get some action in return'
797
00:40:04,333 --> 00:40:05,667
Except you knocked
him out permanently.
798
00:40:05,750 --> 00:40:07,792
'How do you live
with yourself, Paul?'
799
00:40:07,875 --> 00:40:09,875
Knowing you killed
the disco king you worshipped
800
00:40:09,959 --> 00:40:11,500
not to mention
22 other people?
801
00:40:11,583 --> 00:40:14,583
Twenty three if you count your
dad who drank himself to death.
802
00:40:20,750 --> 00:40:22,375
I didn't kill those people.
803
00:40:22,458 --> 00:40:23,875
Forensics says you did.
804
00:40:23,959 --> 00:40:25,583
So does Doreen.
805
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,250
It wasn't my fault.
806
00:40:28,333 --> 00:40:29,875
Whose was it?
807
00:40:32,166 --> 00:40:34,083
It was..
808
00:40:34,166 --> 00:40:36,208
It was Benny's fault.
809
00:41:29,417 --> 00:41:30,625
Paul, what the hell?
810
00:41:30,709 --> 00:41:33,709
Benny, I can explain.
811
00:41:33,792 --> 00:41:34,750
Get off of
me,
you little
twerp
812
00:41:34,834 --> 00:41:36,709
before I kick your ass.
813
00:41:42,583 --> 00:41:44,750
What are you calling
me that for, Benny?
814
00:41:44,834 --> 00:41:46,667
All I ever wanted
to do was be like you.
815
00:41:46,750 --> 00:41:48,750
You, like me?
816
00:41:48,834 --> 00:41:50,959
You're the worst
disco dancer in Philly.
817
00:41:57,792 --> 00:41:59,083
'You think you're
such hot stuff'
818
00:41:59,166 --> 00:42:01,917
hogging up all the
foxes for yourself.
819
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,458
Well, you aren't such
hot stuff now, are
you?
