Mmm.
Seems like before I left
you and Suzanne were this big
riding your Sting Rays around.
Now she's getting married.
Me too, soon.
I thought you were jazzed about it.
I am. Um, you need a drink?
- You hungry? - I can get it.
You sure, Brian?
Uh, ladies and gentlemen.
Okay, uh..
♪ Come along with me ♪
Okay, let's, uh..
'Let's just get this over with so we can eat, huh?'
Mr. and Mrs. Terry Lucas.
[applauding]
Uh, thanks a bunch for coming, everyone
and uh, ma, dad, thanks for the new Mustang.
Yay!
Everybody, we've got five minutes
before we charge you for your drinks, so get going.
Uh, um, me and Terry also wanna say a special welcome home
to Fishtown's own war hero, my maid of honor's brother
and a brother to me, Brian McCormick.
[applauding]
"I would have brought it tonight
"but I didn't wanna embarrass.
'When Suzanne and I were girls, we rode out all.."'
Oh!
Don't tell me that guy's your boyfriend.
Fiance, actually.
That guy?
With you?
Well, that's not right.
I'm not sure you should be smoking marijuana.
This is a wedding.
'I'm just trying to get in the spirit.'
[instrumental music]
[siren blaring]
[music continues]
[knocking]
Oh, this is a new look.
Yeah, yeah, I slept like crap.
Who we calling on here?
Guy named Warren Cousins.
We got an arrest warrant for him from 1969.
What's the story?
Well, local Fishtown girl was found
strangled in his apartment.
Eleanor McCormick.
What did they get from him the first time around?
[Stillman] 'There was no first time.'
Warren hightailed it to Canada the night of the murder.
- The Mounties couldn't help? - 'They couldn't find him.'
They think he changed his name up there, went underground.
No one's heard word one from him in 36 years.
What brought him back to Philly?
Father's funeral.
He's holed up with an old buddy in this place.
Busybody neighbor recognized him, called it in.
Let's go.
[dramatic music]
[knocking]
Philadelphia PD for Warren Cousins.
I'm Warren.
Warren Cousins, you're under arrest
for the 1969 murder of Eleanor McCormick.
What? Ellie's dead?
[theme music]
[Stillman] Witnesses saw Warren hassling Ellie
at her best friend's wedding. He was the singer.
[Valens] 'What? Trying to get a piece?'
Well, only Ellie's engaged. Shuts him down.
A few weeks later, she's got the life
choked out of her at his place.
Autopsy shows bruising on her knees and neck.
- Strangled. - By someone with dirty hands.
Unidentified residue across her throat.
- Prints come with that? - Hmm.
It's only partial. No help.
Let's have Frannie take a look at the autopsy.
Maybe modern medicine tells us more.
Yeah, maybe the lab can ID the dirt.
[Vera] Found a relative of your girl.
Brother Brian still lives at the old address.
Oh, you and Will sit down with him.
You don't believe in shaving anymore?
It was a late night.
Why are you looking so haggard?
Man, I should go home and start over again.
[clears throat]
There's no reason.
I haven't spoken to Ellie in 36 years.
Sort of the point here, Warren.
I mean I didn't know she was dead.
God, I wouldn't kill her.
We had a relationship. I loved her.
So true love made you change your name
and disappear for 36 years?
I went to Canada because I was a draft resister.
And all those years, you never write to her.
- Pick up the phone? - I couldn't. I was a fugitive.
What about down here?
No one told you the cops were looking for you?
I broke off all contact with my old life.
The buddy I went to Canada with came back in the 90s.
He called me when he saw my Dad's obit.
And you never asked after Ellie?
Ellie was the one who got away.
I still thought about her, but I let her go
when she didn't come north with me.
How we doin'?
Oh, Warren says Ellie was going to Canada too.
It's Bonnie and Clyde, huh?
Runnin' from the law?
That was the plan, but she never showed up.
Well, couple of hanks in that story, Warren.
Yeah, like her being dead in your apartment.
She left her suitcase there, earlier that day.
Maybe she went to get it and someone killed her.
Uh, there was no suitcase in the crime report.
Now, how's the story really go?
A screw-up like you sets his sights on a pretty girl.
Can't close the deal, so she gets punished?
- You got it all wrong. - Hmm.
Ellie's the one who came after me.
When me and Suzanne were seven
we planned our whole life out and wrote it in a diary.
'I would have brought it tonight'
but I don't wanna embarrass her.
See, she wrote pages and pages
about how she was moving out to Hollywood
and becoming Mrs. Elvis Presley.
Eh, that's no fair. She did, too.
But I'm so glad she found her real true love
here in Fishtown.
'Because the life that I wrote in that diary'
was that she was my neighbor, my maid of honor
'the godmother of my children'
and my best friend for life.
So, here's to that.

and Ellie chucks her marriage plans
to take up with you.
Yeah.
I still ain't hearin'
how she ends up dead at your place.
I don't know how that happened.
All I know is I loved that girl.
And that always ends well.
This works out nice.
We got room in the trunk?
Brian McCormick?
Are you the detectives that called?
It's about Warren Cousins. He's back in town.
What does the creep have to say for himself?
Says it wasn't him who killed your sister.
[Jeffries] 'You got ideas otherwise, Brian?'
She's dead in his apartment. That gives me ideas.
Warren says he and your sister had a relationship.
He does, huh?
Anything to that?
Well, something had hold of Ellie those last weeks.
Maybe Warren.
Seemed like something beatnik.

Eleanor..

'are as follows..'
You never know who to trust over there.
- When they did this.. - 'June 23rd.'
...it was just a little girl.
She comes up to me like she needs help.
Opens her hand..

- 'October 9th.' - Oh, man, that's Terry.
'February 14th.'

Hey, what's the matter with you?
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
My birthday wasn't called yet.
[sobbing] I know. I know.
Yeah. You're real strange lately, Ellie, you know that?
What was she crying about?
Don't know.
The guy she's in love with since she's 12 just got saved.
Made no sense.
Okay, Brian.
It's been most of my life now but..
'...it never settles with you.'
Not being somebody's older brother anymore.
[sighs] What got Ellie so upset that night?
Maybe a shock to her, what her brother said about Vietnam.
Hmm.
Lab did a rush job for you.
Get anything good?
Swabbed the residue around your girl's neck.
Found minute traces of chrome in it.
Came from the doer's hands?
Maybe flaked off a car, appliance.
[Frannie] 'Besides the knee and neck bruises'
there was an abrasion above her eye from an earlier injury.
Earlier by hours?
More like days.
So, chrome on the doer's hands
plus someone roughed her up recently.
What if it was the draft lottery Ellie was reacting to?
'Fifth birthday called.'
February 14, Valentine's Day.
Lover boy, Warren.
And she was crying 'cause he got drafted.
Maybe she did love him.
- Oh! - Just getting in?
I slept at the bar.
[chuckles]
Sure, you did.
- What? - Chris, I'm a detective.
I met someone.
[sighs] He from the bar?
Yeah, but it's not like how you think, Lil.
Uh-huh.
It's someone good, for a change.
We talk, and laugh, and connect.
Really.

That would be great.
I wouldn't have guessed it, but, uh..

[sighs]
Part of your story holds up, Warren.
- Maybe Ellie did fall for you. - Okay.
There's a part that's still shady.
All her stuff was at home and accounted for.
No missing suitcase.
I told you what I know.
It was light blue, white handles.
You know anything about her fiance?
Bud Lydecker?
I just saw him at the wedding.
Well, you two got together.
Means Ellie must have broken up with him, right?
Yeah.
You know anything about how he handled it?
Getting traded in for a..
For a long-haired draft dodger.
Probably wasn't thrilled.

I-I didn't think so at the time, but..

Oh, I'm losing 'em.
- Nice timing. - You want another 36 years?
Aw, crap, go ahead.

Uh, I'm the one threw her over.
I dried up on us after my buddy, Terry's wedding. Cut her loose.

that was you saying we could still be friends?
Ah, the brick.
Yeah, I'll cop to that.
But I didn't know the hippie lived there.

Oh, she was dreamy about him. No other man could compare.

Bud, or the rest of the species.
We heard about that brick incident.
Bud said that was on him.
I knew it.
Yeah, but he mentioned a different reason.
Somethin' about your wedding night?
Yeah, mistakes were made.
Well, what did you mean that night
calling Ellie a hypocrite?
Well, she told me about meeting Warren, and..
...it was suddenly making her question things.
Oh, like settling with Buddy boy?
And endin' up with her mother's life.

No, you can't come in.

Ended up watching the border in Korea.
How do you know where to find Ellie?
From Bud.
Wait, Bud was still keeping tabs after they were over?
He was only camped out there night after night.
I-I thought hegave Ellie the brush-off.
Hey, it's not for me to say.
But if that's how it went, why was he stalkin' her?
[Bud] 'I already talked to the other two.'
- Yeah, I know. - So, what am I doing here?
I guess we didn't get the truth just yet
about how you and Ellie ended.
Well, you can go pound sand if you don't believe me.
Maybe you just misrepresented
how that final talk went.

You can't talk to him about it.

Inever had one.
Well, you tried, but two seconds later
they got you frothing at the mouth, right?
And pretty soon, you got a mess on your hands.
That how it went, Bud?
You can't have her, no one can?
Hey, I took it harder than I said, but come on!
- I didn't kill her. - You staked the place out.

- A few nights. - I heard a week.

So maybe you slipped up
the night Ellie decides to leave.
[Valens] 'You went to Warren's to talk her out of it.'
Only you're in such a haze, you do something you regret.
Something you're just sittin' on for all these years.
No, I wouldn't do that. I got clean.
There was chrome on her neck, Brian.
- 'From your chair.' - No!
You got that junk in your veins
and now, your baby sister goes behind your back
'and sneaks off. You got nobody.'
You're down so low, you break.
I was clean..
...when I did it.
Ah, God.
For the first time in so long..
...I was clear.
I could see right to tomorrow..
...and all the way down the line.
Brian.
I heard you get up and go.
Ellie, you really gonna leave me?
I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye.
It hurts too much.
So don't.
I love him, Bri.
I wanna start a life with him up there.
While I'm down here alone in the house?
You're not alone.
Mom and dad are there. Kate.
No.
What?
She's gone.
El..
...there's not gonna be anyone for me.
- Sure there is. - No, I..
I don't work..
...how men do.
Brian, that's not what a man is.
It's about who you are on the inside.
How you treat people, how you love them.
[chuckles] Oh!
But that's where it's all rotten.
No.
El, the little girl who did this..
...she recognized me, that's why.
Because we went into her hut, and we dragged out her parents
and her grandparents, and we threw them in a bunker
and tossed in a grenade.
She finds me later.
So starving, she's probably 40 pounds wet.
And all I was thinking was..
"...I should have killed her too."
El, you are the only one I can tell these things to.
[sobbing]
- You're not rotten. - 'Cause you don't know.
Okay?
Because you get to leave, and forget
and I am stuck here..
...for the rest of my life.
What about me?
Brian, it's alright.
No, I'm stuck.
Just-just let me-let me..
But I am stuck.
[dramatic music]
I am stuck!
I'm stuck.
