AND ALL SEVEN WERE MEMBERS OF A PRIVILEGED BAND OF COLLEGE HIPPIES WHO AVOIDED THE WAR WITH EDUCATIONAL DEFERMENTS. EXACTLY. COWARDS TAKING IT OUT ON THE VERY SYMBOL OF THEIR COWARDICE. WE CAME HOME TO PARADES, CONFETTI, DRUMS, BUGLES AND GIGGLING FACTORY GIRLS ALL ONLY TOO HAPPY TO SHARE. TODAY THEY COME BACK TO GETTING ATTACKED BY THE VERY PEOPLE THEY SERVED?

PROBLEM IS, I WAS, LIKE, 4 YEARS OLD, SO I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE WE... WE MOVE A LOT-- MOVED A LOT. AND TYLER'S A REALLY COMMON LAST NAME. BUT I HAVE SO MANY DETAILED MEMORIES. I REMEMBER THE LITTLE THINGS, YOU KNOW? LIKE THE, UH, G.I. JOES I HID IN A THOM McAN BOX BEHIND A LOOSE BASEBOARD IN MY BEDROOM. I DON'T KNOW. DID YOU? OHH. HOW MUCH DID I DRINK LAST NIGHT? HUH.

ANNIE? THAT'S A NICE NAME. AND HOW COME ANNIE ISN'T ALLOWED IN? ANNIE IS ALLOWED IN. IT'S JUST... SHE, UH... (stammers) I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER. HAVE A GOOD DAY, 2-B. TELL ANNIE I SAID HI. OKAY, SO WHAT HAVE WE GOT? ROUGH NIGHT LAST NIGHT? NOT REALLY, NO. A LITTLE INSOMNIA MAYBE. UM, WELL, HERE YOU GO. THIS... WHAT? OH. YOU'RE KIDDING ME. THIS IS ALL WE'VE GOT? (grunts) (object drops to floor) THE BUSINESS CARD OF AN ACCOUNTANT? I'M NOT BLAMING YOU. IT'S JUST HUNT IS GONNA HAVE SOMEONE'S ***. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO CHECK OUT LAWRENCE R. JONES. (Sam) SO WHERE DID YOU MEET ROBERT REEVES? UH, AT A BAR, THROUGH ANOTHER CLIENT OF MINE WHO SENDS A LOT OF NEW BUSINESS MY WAY. HE HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT, UH, TAX LIABILITY. TAXES? IN MAY? UH, S-SOMETHING ABOUT AN INHERITANCE. OH. WHO DIED? OH, HE DIDN'T SAY. WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE BAR WHERE YOU MET REEVES? OH, OOH, I DON'T REMEMBER. OH, THE CARLYLE HOTEL, IN THE BAR. YOU EVER HEAR BOBBY SHORT? OH, SENSATIONAL. "SENSATIONAL." I ALWAYS LOVED THAT WORD. THE WIFE DIDN'T MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT AN INHERITANCE, AND IT'S NOT EXACTLY TAX SEASON. YOU KNOW, IF I DIDN'T KNOW BETTER, I'D SAY JONES WAS... WHAT? YOU KNOW. NO. NO. ANNIE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN BY... HOMOSEXUAL. OH. OH. WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT? WELL, I KNOW PSYCHOLOGISTS THINK THAT HOMOSEXUALITY IS CAUSED BY A CONFLICT BETWEEN THE ID AND THE EGO OR SOME DOMINATING MOTHER. I THINK THAT'S ALL A BUNCH OF CRAP. JUST SOMETHING IN HIS BODY LANGUAGE, YOU KNOW? THE WAY HE SAT, THE WAY HE FUSSED WITH HIS CLOTHES, HOW HE USED THE WORD "SENSATIONAL" WOMEN HAVE SUCH GREAT GAYDAR. MM. GAYDAR. DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT YOURSELF? NO, NO. I HEARD IT SOMEWHERE. CHRIS. SAM, ANNIE. (exhales deeply) WHAT DO WE GOT? WELL, ANNIE HERE BROUGHT IN A TAX ACCOUNTANT, WHICH I THINK'S A GREAT LEAD IF IT WAS, UH, APRIL 15th. ACTUALLY, ANNIE HAS AN INTERESTING THEORY ABOUT ROBERT REEVES. WELL, LET'S HEAR IT, NORRIS. WELL, THE ACCOUNTANT WAS OBVIOUSLY... UM, I THINK MAYBE, UH, ROBERT REEVES IS A, UH, WAS A HOMOSEXUAL. (chuckles) WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT? THEY MET AT A BAR, AND... AND? AND IF THE ACCOUNTANT WERE GAY, AND THEY WERE MEETING AFTER WORKING HOURS-- ROBERT REEVES WAS A WAR HERO AND A FAMILY MAN. IS THIS THE WAY YOU WANT HIS SON TO REMEMBER HIM? HEAR WHAT? THAT BECAUSE HE HAD A DRINK WITH HIS ACCOUNTANT, THAT MAKES HIM A ***? I ONCE SHARED AN ICE CREAM CONE WITH A MIDGET. (stifles laugh) BETTER QUESTION-- DOES ANY OF THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY INVESTIGATION? FIND ME THE TOUGH GUY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS! (exhales deeply) (Robbie) HEY. IS YOUR MOM AROUND? NAH, SHE'S AT THE BUTCHER'S. HOW ABOUT THOSE KNICKS, HUH? DID YOU SEE GAME THREE? PRETTY AMAZING. I KNOW IT WASN'T THE SAME WITHOUT YOUR DAD. DID YOU FIND WHO KILLED HIM YET? NOT YET, BUT WE WILL. I PROMISED YOU I WOULD. MY DAD HAD THIS WAY ABOUT HIM, YOU KNOW? HE WAS THE MAN. IT WAS THE WAY HE DRESSED, THE WAY HE LAUGHED. AND WHENEVER HE WAS NEAR, I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR DAD. YOUR DAD LEFT. MY DAD DIED. THAT'S TRUE, BUT YOUR DAD DIDN'T GIVE UP ON YOU. YOUR DAD DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE. MY DAD MADE TWO PROMISES TO ME. THE FIRST--IF THE KNICKS MADE IT TO A PLAY-OFF, HE'D TAKE ME TO A GAME. AND WHEN THEY DID, HE HONORED THAT PROMISE. WE TOOK THE SUBWAY. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME TAKING IT. HE HELD MY HAND. GOD, I REMEMBER IT LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY. I REMEMBER HE HAD A TATTOO ON THE HAND THAT ALWAYS HELD MINE. IT WAS, UH, A COBRA, 'CAUSE THAT HAD BEEN HIS NICKNAME WHEN HE WAS A KID--"COBRA." (chuckles) SO WHAT WAS THE SECOND PROMISE? IT WAS MY 4th BIRTHDAY PARTY. HE WENT FOR A WALK IN THE WOODS, SAID HE'D BE RIGHT BACK. THAT WAS THE LAST TIME I EVER SAW HIM. NOW HAND 'EM OVER. HAND WHAT OVER? THE CIGARETTES. GIVE 'EM TO ME. HOW'D YOU KNOW? I'M A DETECTIVE, ROBBIE. I DETECT THINGS. WHERE DID YOU GET THESE? THERE ARE A LOT OF WAYS YOU CAN DEAL WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING TO YOU RIGHT NOW. THIS IS NOT THE WAY. OKAY? SAM? (heart beating) SAM? WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE? I SAW THE DIAMONDS. I CAME IN... THE LOOSE BASEBOARD... I FOUND THIS PICTURE. WHO IS SHE? I DON'T KNOW. THIS LOOKS JUST LIKE A PLACE I REMEMBER LIVING. I EVEN FOUND THIS BOX RIGHT WHERE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. LOOK--NO G.I. JOES. WAIT. DON'T YOU SEE? THIS CASE BROUGHT ME TO THIS BLOCK SO I COULD SEE THIS APARTMENT BUILDING. (whispers) I THINK THIS IS WHERE I LIVED. MAYBE. AND MAYBE IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE. (normal voice) I DON'T BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES. SAM, YOU'VE SUFFERED A HEAD INJURY. THIS CAN HAPPEN-- HICCUPS IN YOUR MIND. (whispers) EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED.

I DON'T KNOW. UH, ROCK HUDSON. OH! (groans) WHAT? YEAH. WHO'S DOING THINGS TO DORIS DAY YOU COULD ONLY DREAM OF? UM, EXCUSE ME. WE'RE DETECTIVES FROM THE 1-2-5. WHY SHOULD I TELL YOU? SO THEY FINALLY KILLED ONE OF US, AND NOW YOU FELLAS CARE. WHO'S THE DEAD GUY, A CONGRESSMAN? HIS NAME IS BOBBY. MARRIED, I THINK. VERY SWEET. HE'S ONE OF THOSE GUYS WHO JUST FIGURED OUT WHO HE REALLY WAS, YOU KNOW IF HE WAS, UM, SEEING AN ACCOUNTANT LARRY JONES? WHOO, NOT A CHANCE. LARRY'S SO DEEP IN THE CLOSET HE PASSES OUT BUSINESS CARDS HOPING TO GET RICH, NOT LUCKY. WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT VIOLENCE IN THIS AREA? HOOLIGANS FROM THE BAR ACROSS THE PARK. THEY LIKE TO GET BOOMERED ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAY NIGHTS AND BEAT UP THE ***. IT'S BEEN REALLY BAD SINCE THE PLAY-OFFS STARTED. YOU SEE? REEVES' *** IS LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKE A HATE CRIME. (sets glass down) AS OPPOSED TO AN "I REALLY, REALLY LIKE YOU" CRIME? OKAY, AND I GOT MUG SHOTS, SKETCHES, RAP SHEETS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS INCIDENTS AT THIS PRECINCT, ALL AT THE SAME PARK WITH THE EXACT SAME M.O. LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT SOME GAY BASHERS AROUND HERE. "GAY BASHING"? WHAT'S THAT, THROWING A PARTY FOR A ***? (chuckles) I DON'T KNOW. I'M THINKING OF TAKING THE OLD LADY TO SEE "SOYLENT GREEN." WHAT DO YOU THINK? WE'RE NOT... WE'RE NOT GONNA PUT THIS CASE ON THE BACK BURNER BECAUSE REEVES TURNED OUT TO BE HOMOSEXUAL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT. UNBELIEVABLE. YOU KNOW, THIS KIND OF RAMPANT PREJUDICE AND HATRED IS GONNA SOMEDAY, QUITE LITERALLY, CHANGE THIS CITY--THE PHYSICAL LANDSCAPE OF THIS CITY-- IN WAYS YOU CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE AND GET US INTO OTHER WARS FOR EVEN FLIMSIER REASONS THAN THE ONE THAT JUST ENDED. HAVE FUN, KIDS. THE CRACKERS ARE MADE OUT OF PEOPLE! YEAH. WHAT? LEAST I CAN DO IS SPOIL THE ENDING OF THE MOVIE FOR THAT GUY. OKAY, FORGET HIM. SAM-- BASED ON THESE REPORTS, THESE SAME GUYS ARE OUT THERE EVERY WEEKEND BASHING HEADS IN THE PARK. SO WE'RE GONNA LAY SOME BAIT WITH A WIRE ON BAIT? WHO'S THE BAIT? WHAT? WHO, ME? NO. NO. I... NO, I DON'T LOOK LIKE A, UH... ONE OF THOSE. (Sam whispers) HEY, CHRIS. YOU SEE ANYTHING OUT THERE YET? HE CAN'T HEAR YOU. OH. WON'T IT BE GREAT WHEN THEY INVENT 2-WAY TECHNOLOGY YEAH, RIGHT AFTER THEY INVENT A WORLD WITHOUT PAPER. JUST THOUGHT YOU GUYS SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS IS MAKING ME REALLY, REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE. (static) HOLY COW. THAT GUY LOOKED JUST LIKE MY UNCLE HAROLD. BUT MY UNCLE HAROLD-- HE WASN'T A-A... NO, NO, NO, HE TOOK ME TO MY FIRST BROADWAY MUSICAL. WOW. UNCLE HAROLD? OH. (door opens) HEY, BOSS. I'M LEAVIN' IN A MINUTE. I'M TAKING DENISE TO THE MOVIES. A LITTLE EDDIE G. ROBINSON, A LITTLE CHARLTON HESTON, WHERE ARE THE OTHERS? WELL, TYLER GOT A LEAD ON THE DEAD FAIRY. WHY AREN'T YOU WITH THEM? AH, YOU KNOW. WHAT'S ONE LESS ROCKET LOVER IN THE WORLD, RIGHT? GET UP. WHAT? GET UP. SO? HE'S A FRUIT FLY. KNOW WHAT'S WORSE THAN A FRUIT FLY, RAY? A MURDERER. THERE'S NOTHING LOWER THAN A MURDERER. SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE WHO THE VICTIM WAS? NO MAN HAS THE RIGHT TO TAKE ANOTHER MAN'S LIFE, NO MATTER WHAT YOU AND I THINK. THERE'S A KILLER ON THE LOOSE, AND IT'S OUR JOB TO PURSUE HIM TO THE VERY GATES OF HELL. BOSS, I-I'M-- TELL ME! YOU UNDERSTAND THIS? YEAH. I UNDERSTAND. GOOD. (crickets chirping) NOTHING IS HAPPENING. YEAH, I THINK SO. (men speaking indistinctly) (grunting) (shouting indistinctly) (man) GET OUT OF OUR PARK! (grunting) (Sam) GAME OVER, PAL. GET TO YOUR KNEES! HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD! DO IT! YOU OKAY, CHRIS? I THINK SO. YEAH. YEAH. WELL DONE. (door closes) LOOK AT MY GUY. LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO HIS FACE. HE'S A BEAUTIFUL BOY. LOOK AT HIM NOW. (grunts) ALSO LET ME REMIND YOU THAT THE *** VICTIM IS A DECORATED VIETNAM VET. (grunts) HE'D WANT YOU TO HAVE THAT. HE WAS A PERV AND A ***. WHICH IN YOUR MIND MEANS HE DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO A LONG, HAPPY LIFE, AND HIS SON DIDN'T HAVE LOOK, WE LIKE TO MESS THOSE GUYS UP. THEY'RE DISGUSTING, OKAY? BUT WE DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY. SO AM I. (laughs) (thud) HEY. SO THE THING TO REMEMBER ABOUT PRISON, WHICH IS WHERE YOU'RE GONNA GO IF YOU DON'T COOPERATE, IS THIS--IN PRISON, THESE THINGS YOU FIND SO OFFENSIVE, WELL, THEY'RE AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE PERPETRATED BY BIG, STRONG MEN ON LITTLE, SKINNY MEN AS REGULAR AS BREAKFAST. IN FACT, A TYPICAL DAY IN PRISON GOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS-- BREAKFAST, SODOMY, EXERCISE YARD, SODOMY, LUNCH, SODOMY, ARTS AND CRAFTS, SODOMY, DETECTIVE TYLER, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SODOMY AND MAJOR SODOMY? WELL, MAJOR SODOMY HAS A BIG KISSING COMPONENT. SAW WHAT? JIMMY, YOU DON'T GOTTA TELL THESE GUYS NOTHIN'! OHH! I-I-I SAW TWO GUYS IN THE PARK. OKAY, ONE OF 'EM WAS HIM. THEY--THEY--THEY WERE, UH, THEY WERE KISSING AT FIRST. HE SAID SOMETHIN' I-I COULDN'T HEAR. AND--AND THE OTHER GUY YANKED HIS ARM AWAY, AND--AND HE-- AND HE TRIED TO GET AWAY, BUT HE COULDN'T. THEN HE JUST THREW THAT GUY DOWN TO THE GROUND. AND HE JUST LEANED OVER AND STARTED PUNCHING HIM, JUST PUNCH AFTER PUNCH AFTER PUNCH. AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME HE'S DEAD? YOU SAID HE LEANED OVER TO PUNCH HIM? NO, NO. EVEN WHEN HE WAS DOWN ON THE GROUND, YOU'RE SURE HE BENT OVER TO KEEP PUNCHING THE GUY-- NOPE. AND WHEN THE KILLER RAN AWAY, WAS THERE ANYTHING FUNNY ABOUT THE WAY HE RAN OFF? YEAH. HOW'D YOU KNOW? YEAH, THERE WAS. YEAH, HE-- HE WAS RUNNIN' REAL FAST F-FOR A GUY WITH A LIMP. SO YOU WERE A CAPTAIN, A LEADER OF MEN. THAT'S RIGHT. LOOK, I SEE YOU GOT A LOT TO LOSE HERE-- YOUR HONOR, YOUR FAMILY'S RESPECT. BUT ROBERT REEVES, BY ALL ACCOUNTS A GOOD MAN AND A FINE OFFICER, IS DEAD. NOW THIS ISN'T HOW WE DO THINGS IN THE SQUAD WHERE I COME FROM, BUT IF YOU JUST TELL US WHAT HAPPENED, NOBODY HAS TO KNOW WHY YOU DID IT. (sighs) I'M NOT GONNA SAY EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED OVER THERE. IT'S NOBODY'S BUSINESS. BUT BOB WANTED TO BRING IT WHERE EVERYTHING'S DIFFERENT? WHERE YOU DON'T GET TO DECIDE WHO LIVES OR WHO DIES, CAPTAIN? YOU'D THINK YOU COULDN'T LIVE WITH HOMOSEXUALITY, BUT YOU COULD LIVE WITH BEING A MURDERER. OTHER THERE YOU MIGHT'VE KILLED TO SURVIVE. BUT YOU KILLED HERE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LIKE A GUY IS ***. LOOK, BOB THOUGHT HE WAS LIVING A LIE WHEN HE GOT BACK. HE THOUGHT THAT A MAN OF INTEGRITY WOULDN'T FEAR WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THOUGHT OF HIM. YOU FEAR WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF YOU. I HAVE TO SAY, BOB HAD COURAGE. I DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL HIM. I DIDN'T. I JUST... WANTED TO GET AWAY FROM HIM, BUT HE WOULDN'T LET ME GO, AND WHEN HE WENT TOO FAR, I JUST... IT ALL CAME APART. YES, IT DID. IT DID. IT WILL DO THAT. IT WILL ALL COME APART IN WAR AND IN PEACE. (inhales sharply) CUFF HIM. (door opens, handcuffs click) GAYS IN THE MILITARY. UNBELIEVABLE. WHAT NEXT? THEY'RE GONNA WANT TO GET MARRIED? LUCKY COINCIDENCE, HUH, TYLER? YOU JUST HAPPEN TO COLLAR THE VERY GUYS I DON'T BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES, RAY. I BELIEVE IN THE CURLICUED WHIMSY OF FATE. AFTER ALL, EVERYTHING'S CONNECTED. I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU NEED TO DO THIS-- TO RUIN THE MEMORIES OF HER HUSBAND? THE ONLY QUESTION CARRIE ANN REEVES WANTED ANSWERED WAS "WHY?" NOW WE KNOW WHY. NO. THANK YOU. UM, THERE'S SOMETHING I WANTED TO SAY ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND, MRS. REEVES, SOMETHING MAYBE YOU DIDN'T KNOW, SOMETHING... SOMETHING YOU NEED TO KNOW. OH. (Marmalade's "Reflections of My Life" playing) OKAY. WHAT IS IT? WELL, YOUR HUSBAND WAS A VERY BRAVE MAN, MORE COURAGEOUS THAN MOST-- MUCH MORE. AND HE DIED FOR WHAT HE BELIEVED IN, MRS. REEVES.
