I'll have a Vodka Gimlet.
Hello.
Hi.
I'm Rachel.
Tom.
Should I ask if you come here often?
Or is that too cliché?
Could offer to buy you a drink,
or I could ask what a nice girl like you
is doing in a place like this?
But I guess that's not much better.
( laughs )
You could always ask my sign.
I could,
but that could come off really desperate,
wouldn't it?
Well, to answer your questions,
this would be my first time here.
I would love for you to buy my drink,
and I'm just looking for a good time.
You still haven't told me your sign.
I'm a Taurus.
- Oh, stubborn. - Hah.
I just know what I want,
and...
I'm not afraid to go out and get it.
Would you like to get out of here?
I thought you'd never ask.
( music playing )
( bones snapping )
( sighs )
( phone ringing )
Homicide.
Yep.
- Maggie? - Yeah, boss?
Let's go.
They got a body down at the Fairview Motel.
C.S.U. just confirmed they're all done in here.
They'll collect the body when we're finished.
Sam, what's wrong?
- I know this guy. - What?
- Who is he? - My ex-partner.
- He's a cop? - Was.
He got kicked off the force about five years ago
for being involved with drug dealers.
He was stealing coke from the evidence locker.
You think this was a drug deal gone bad?
A guy naked in bed in this dump of a hotel?
Does this look like any retaliation that you've ever seen?
Besides, I heard he cleaned up.
Now that red letter A.
It's a message to someone.
Scarlet letter maybe? Red A for adulterer?
It's possible.
See if Tom was married.
Maybe he's cheating and his wife got pissed.
If his wife killed him, what would he be doing here
- in this rattrap naked? - I don't know.
There's a lot of things about this that don't make any sense.
Hey, sis.
I got one of them.
You should've seen him.
He was pathetic.
Hello, Frank.
Hi, I'm Rachel.
I'm just looking for a good time.
( laughs )
( music playing )
Frank?
Sam.
Hey, I'm completely clean, man,
I haven't touched the stuff in over two years.
Now can't a guy come down and see an old friend
without being accused of an ulterior motive?
Sure, Sam.
Man, how you been?
I'm good, Frank.
You know, I'm surprised to see you
in the neighborhood after...
well, after everything that happened.
It's what I came to talk to you about.
Have you seen Tom lately?
No, not in quite awhile.
- He's dead. - Dead?
- How? - Murdered last night,
and I thought you might know who did it.
Look, Sam, I--
Don't bullshit me, Frank.
I know you were mulling drugs for Tom,
even if they could never get enough evidence against you.
That was a long time ago, Sam, all right,
and I'm not involved in any of that anymore,
- and... - And Tom?
As far as I know, he went straight after he got
kicked off the force and like I said,
I don't roll with that crowd no more.
So who does?
Frank, if you don't give me a name,
I'll have no choice but to take you in
- under suspicion of murder. - You can't do that.
I used to know you since you were a beat cop in the neighborhood,
and you got nothin' on me 'cause I'm clean.
You're right.
I got nothin' on you.
We are friends, Frank.
Good friends.
A lot of bad stuff happened back then,
and I'm just lucky that I got out
before goin' down with the rest of you.
You seem to be doing all right for yourself.
I am.
So what about a name?
The only guys I know that Tom stayed in touch with from the neighborhood
- was Mick. - ( scoffs )
- Mick the Cocaine King. - Yeah, you remember.
That's the guy that Tom used to work for
back in the day, 'cept for he wasn't
- Cocaine King back then. - Yeah, more of a court jester.
That's all I got, Sam, really.
'Kay, Frank, fair enough.
It's always good catching up with an old friend.
You stay out of trouble, okay?
Sure thing. Take care of yourself.
( music playing )
My, my. You're quite good at this game,
aren't you?
I've been known to have my days.
- I'm Frank. - Rachel.
You know, I don't remember seeing you around her before.
It's my first time.
Yeah, this doesn't look like your kind of place.
Oh, I don't know about that.
There's certain things I find appealing.
So...
what's a girl gotta do to get a drink around here?
I'll tell you what.
Why don't we play a little game of pool
and whoever wins buys the drinks?
I'd love to play with you, Frank,
but let's up the stakes a little bit,
- shall we? - Uh, what do you mean?
Well, if I win, you and I could
get to know one another a little bit better.
Well, I'd like that, but what if I win?
We'll think of something.
It's almost like I can't lose.
Exactly.
Rack 'em up.
( doorbell rings )
Holy shit as I live and breathe.
- Hey, Mick. - Come in, come in.
- You wanna drink? - No thanks.
- I'm on duty. - Wait.
You're not here to arrest me, are you?
I swear, officer, she said she was 18.
- That's very funny. - Ah, come on, Sam,
you used to have a sense of humor.
Okay, so what brings you all the way out here
- after all this time? - I'm here on business.
Please sit down.
How can I help you?
I'm here to talk to you about Tom.
Tom.
Ah, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
Okay, so what about him,
he's got himself into trouble or something?
Yeah, you could say that.
- He's dead. - Okay, that's trouble.
- You don't seem surprised. - When Tom worked for me,
he did more blow than he delivered,
so, no, I'm not surprised.
Except it wasn't a drug overdose.
- He was murdered. - Interesting.
- Drug deal gone wrong. - It doesn't look that way.
Okay, so what does this have to do with me?
Until you mentioned his name,
I haven't thought of Tom in years.
You sure about that?
You can't possibly think I had something to do with this.
I don't know.
Where were you between the hours
of 7:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. last night?
( chuckles )
Ah, 7:00 p.m. and...
I was at a party hosted by some friends
with about two dozen witnesses that can place me there.
What time did you leave?
Ah, after 10:00 p.m.,
and then I came straight back here.
Alone?
No, I was with a young lady friend
that I met at the party.
Can you give me her contact information
so I can verify your story?
You'd be shocked to learn that I didn't get her number.
- Name. - Sorry.
I didn't get that either.
Look, Sam, come on,
Tom was an inoffensive,
insignificant little guy.
What possible reason could I have to kill him?
What possible reason could any guy have to kill him?
Who said it was a guy?
Guess I never really had a chance,
did I?
No, no, not really.
I guess it's time to pay up.
I wouldn't want to be accused of going back on a bet.
There's a storage room in the back.
Perfect.
( laughing )
Slow down, slow down.
You want this to last, don't you?
Why don't you sit down
and let me do the work?
( music playing )
- Ah! - Ugh!
( gasping )

( sighs )
His alibi checks out.
He was at the house party till about 10:00 p.m.
and all his three witnesses saw him leave
with a very attractive blonde.
But we still don't know who the woman was,
- so maybe she-- - No.
We got her name from one of the guests.
She confirms that she went home with Mick,
and she was with him all night.
- He's in the clear. - Damn.
( telephone ringing )
Homicide.
Do we have an ID on the body?
Okay, we'll be right there.
We've got another one, looks like the same killer.
( sighs )
First an A and now an L?
Jesus, I hate these sicko cases.
- What does it mean? - I don't know.
I was just talking to this guy yesterday.
He and Tom knew each other, that must be the connection.
You don't understand, Maggie,
I knew these guys, too.
I used to run with them back in the day.
You ran with bad cops and drug dealers?
I got lucky.
I avoided doing anything suspicious to I.A.
and when the bust went down,
I took it as a wake-up call.
It changed my life.
I just wish I knew what these letters meant.
A-L, Al.
Was there a guy named Al in your old gang?
No.
Sam, look at this.
That looks like our killer.
Look at the print, it's a high heel.
We're looking for a woman.
Well, then that might explain
why we find our victims naked.
What, so she screws them
and then she kills them?
It wouldn't be the first black widow case we had on our hands.
But what about the letters?
I don't know.
Sam, you should be careful.
if the killer is targeting guys in your old neighborhood,
- you could be next. - I appreciate the concern,
but I don't plan on following any women
into a far-off place to get laid.
But I know someone who might.
Good morning.
Hi.
How are you?
What a pleasant surprise.
- Um... - It's Sarah.
Sarah. Of course, I knew-- I knew that.
Sorry to drop by unannounced, but I think
I left my earrings here the other day.
Oh, you-- you should've called. I would've--
I would've looked for them.
You didn't give me your number.
Well, that certainly was a mistake on my part,
wasn't it? Would you like a drink?
Sure.
You know, the cops called me yesterday,
they asked me all kinds of questions about the party.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Are you in some kind of trouble?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
An old acquaintance of mine was murdered
and I needed an alibi.
Well, lucky for you I could provide one.
Lucky in more ways than one.
Well, now that you're here,
I was going to take a jump in the pool,
- would you care to join me? - I didn't bring a suit.
- Do you need one? - ( laughs )
( panting )
( moaning )
( grunting, moaning )
Thanks for the dip in the pool.
Well, now you've got my number,
and don't be afraid to use it.
I won't. Goodbye.
Take care.
- Hello, Mick. - ( laughs )
Who the hell are you and how did you get in my house?
You don't recognize me?
Look, sweetheart, I've met a lot of women,
but they don't just show up and break into my house.
Try again, Mick, I'm not one of your bimbos.
Okay, I'm calling the cops.
I don't think so.
Whoa, take it easy.
Now think really hard, Mick,
are you sure you don't remember me?
( music playing )
Hey, guys, this is my sister, Rachel.
Hey, sit down, come join us.
- What's up, guys? - Sam, what're you doing here?
Same thing you guys are, having some good times.
Who is this lovely lady?
Hey, I'm Rachel.
Rachel, let's go dance.
Come on, Sam, she just got here.
Ah, sorry, man.
- So who wants to dance? - Ah! That's me.
- Ah, ha ha. - ( laughs )
You're Ally's sister from that night.
That's right, Mick, I guess the dope
hasn't completely melted your brain after all.

She was drunk,
and you took advantage of her.
Are you kidding me?
She was a hooker, for God sake.
That's not true!
Sorry.
She got paid for sex, what else would you call it?
She was the best.
- Ready to have some fun? - Oh, yeah.
What do you got for me?
Ugh.
( music playing )
( moaning )
Liar!
That is the truth!
How do you think she paid for your college,
- waitressing tips? - Well...
Well, if that's true,
if everything you're saying is true
and she really was the best then--
then why did you kill her?
- What? - I saw you.
I saw you go in the back room with her
and I saw your friends go in after her.
What?
You killed Tom.
That's right.
Frank, too,
and you're next.
- Ah! - What the fuck?
You hurt me.
( shot rings out )
( pounding on door )
Mick, it's Sam, open up.
Come on, Mick, open up!
Ah!
Get back, get back.
He's dead and look.
- ( clanging ) - Sam!
Dam nit.
( sighs )
It's the same killer, all right.
It definitely a woman.
( sighs )
Now all we got to do is find the suspect
and see if the show fits.
( sighs )
That's three down, sis,
one more to go.
( gasps )
Hello, Rachel,
it's been a long time.
Sam,
what're you doing here?
You coulda called me, you know?
But I guess after what happened, uh,
you didn't really want to talk to me.
( sighs ) It was, uh...
it was a difficult time for me as you can imagine.
I suppose so.
And after you accused my friends
- of killing your sister... - It didn't matter, did it?
It's not like anyone believed me.
The drunk airhead
who said she knew who killed her big sister.
I was there, remember?
They all alibi'd one another.
Well, they would, wouldn't they?
There was no physical evidence.
What do you want, Sam,
why this rehash of the past?
- They're dead. - Who?
Frank, Tom, Mick,
they're all dead,
- murdered. - What?
Where were you earlier today?
( scoffs )
You don't think I had anything to do with this?
- Where were you? - I was at work.
You can call and check.
Sam,
I swear.
Rachel, I want you to know that if it matters,
I believed you.
You did?
Yeah.
I mean, there is no proof, but, yeah,
that's why I turned my life around.
I stopped hanging out with those guys,
I became an honest cop.
If there is such a thing.
I didn't think anyone believed me.
I wish I coulda done more for you at the time.
These past six years...
they've been hell.
I know.
I'm sorry.
( music playing )
You're late.
It was a long night.
Any luck on that lead you were following up on?
No, it was a dead end. What're you working on?
I've been going over the crime scene photos,
I can't seem to get those letters out of my head.
A-L-L. What does it mean?
I'm all done.
Or I'm gonna get all of them.
- All of who? - Exactly.
I've been doing some checking in on our victims,
they all knew each other.
We already knew that.
For chrissake, I knew all of them.
We came from the same neighborhood.
Yeah, but check this out.
Six years ago, a hooker was killed at a nightclub
- in that neighborhood. - Yeah, I remember,
I was there that night.
Then you know that case went unsolved.
It's been sitting in our cold case file
- ever since. - So?
So I dug into the old files and found
the investigating officer's notes.
Did this guy moonlight as a doctor?
His handwriting is terrible.
Yeah, and there aren't any type-written copies,
assuming he even did them.
So what are you getting from all this?
The sister of the hooked
ID'd our three victims as the killers.
- She saw him? - Didn't see the killing,
but swears she saw them go into the back room with her
right before her body was found.
So why were no charges ever brought?
Not enough evidence.
And the sister was so drunk off her ass that night
no one thought her very believable.
So what're you trying to say?
Sam, don't you get it?
We have a vigilante on our hands, someone who thinks
those guys did kill that girl.
- The sister? - Suspect number one.
Do we have an I'D on the sister?
No, the notes are pretty terrible.
I can't even read the name,
I think it starts with an R.
That should narrow it down a bit.
Very funny, Sam.
It's worse than you think.
What do you mean?
Apparently, the sister fingered a fourth person,
someone she didn't know.
What?
Look at the name of the hooker.
Ally.
A-L-L-Y.
Shit.
There's another target out there.
We need to find the Y?
Maggie,
long time no see.
- I've been busy. - Sure, I understand.
- The usual? - Yeah.
How's the police force treating you?
I'm working a case right now. It's a hard one.
Are there any easy ones?
( laughs )
Not really.
I didn't think so.
So what have you got for me, Brad?
I got whatever you need.
- Blonde, I think. - Blonde it is.
She'll meet you in the VIP room
- in ten minutes. - Thanks, Brad.
Anytime.
- Excuse me. - Yes.
What can I get you?
I need a favor.
- Hello. - Hello.
- I'm Rachel. - Maggie.
( music playing )
Ugh! What're you doing? I paid you.
Oh, you haven't paid nearly enough.
You should know I'm a cop.
I know you are, Maggie.
- You're the last one. - What?
You're the last one who killed my sister.

that we have a snitch trying to spill the beans
- of our little operation. - I never meant--
Forget it, Ally, Maggie told us everything.

What was your plan that night,
kill her, make it look like an overdose?
A suicide, maybe?
She was a hooker, right, disposable?
No one would even care.
( gasping )
Ugh.
Something like that.
Ugh!
I'm sorry, Sam.
They killed my sister.
I understand.
You do?
I'm as much to blame for it as they are.
- What? - If I hadn't kept
you from going to her that night.
Oh no, you couldn't have known.
Couldn't I?
They were my friends, Rachel,
guys from the neighborhood.
I knew what they were capable of.
But I was more concerned
with dancing with this beautiful woman who I just met...
I fell in love with.
I forgive you, Sam.
I forgive you.
( music playing )
( telephone ringing )
Yep.
All right, I'll be right there.
This is it.
Brad: And so when they never came out
and it was time to close, I came in here,
and this is what I found.
You never saw the other woman leave?
No, but there's a back door,
she could've left anytime.
Would you be able to give me a description
- of this other woman? - Absolutely.
It's such a shame.
She's so beautiful.
She's a police officer, you know?
Yeah, I know. She was my partner.
Get out.
I'm sorry, dude.
Yep.
Do you think they'll be able to find the killer?
I hope so.
So often these cases go unsolved.
Now think really hard, Mick,
are you sure you don't remember me?
What, so she screws them and she kills them?
You'd be shocked to learn that I didn't get her number.
Yeah, this doesn't look like your kind of place.
You still haven't told me your sign.
Good morning.
So who wants to dance?
I got whatever you need.
