Prime Suspect

Uhh...

Hey. So how'd it go?

Ah, you know, good. Pretty good.

See? The more you do it,

the more the nicotine will work itself out of your system,

and the easier it'll be.

You know, it's the first day.

Let's not go crazy here, okay?

All right, cool. Hold on.

- What, a parade just break out? - What? No.

I'm in a cab. Hold on. Prince and Houston, please.

Can you turn this down? 'Cause I think it's broken.

Huh? Hello?

Sir, can you turn this down, please?

Hey, so how far did you go?

I did the, uh... I did the loop.

- - It was far. I don't know.

Hey, pardon me. Sir, no smoking.

Country is free, huh?

Tell me about it while you put it out.

- Maybe I put you out. - Pardon me?

- - Hey!

That's right.

You see? Now put it out!

I'm not in the mood! Thank you.

Oh, and, sweetheart,

I'm not a whore, or that second thing you called me.

I don't know what it is, but I know it's bad.

Hey, you know what, maybe try one of those patches today.

I don't think the gum's getting the whole job done.

I'm sorry. I love you, all right?

- I love you. - I'll speak to you later.

Move!

What about instead of getting another gun,

you try enjoying the ones you got.

Good morning, heathens.

Hey, skip.

- Hey. Thanks. - Hey, skip.

- So what floor's this thing on? - All the way up, skip.

She fought hard, huh?

- Hard like Manny Pacquio. - I'd fight hard too.

Far as she knew, the kids were next.

Yeah, you're right.

And the kids were where?

Closet.

You're kidding me.

The kids were... Whole time.

Yeah, that's gonna be fun.

You all right there, buddy?

Don't forget the ceiling, huh?

I gotta take such a dump. Ooh...

- Family friend, he found her. - Uh-huh.

- Curtis hall. - Hull.

- Hall. - Like Bobby hull.

- Hall. - Right.

So we got him out there, and the kids are upstairs

in their room with the nanny.

Can I get an ETA on the husband, Lou?

How come the nanny wasn't with the kids this morning?

How come the kids are with their mom when she's getting killed?

- Dentist. - Huh. Lucky girl.

Well, not if she got, like, a root canal, you know?

Well, right. Murder and root canal is a push.

Call the husband again, Lou. I want him here right now.

Nobody go in there for 40 days and 40 nights.

You gotta be kidding me right now.

Here's the story.

Hull says that he and the husband have been friends

since medical school.

Hull also says that he and the husband

are supposed to be playing raquetball at 8:00 a.m.

Except, 7:30 a.m., he's over at Lenox Hill in scrubs.

He's like some kind of surgeon.

Maybe "raquetball" is code

for nailing your wife while you're at work.

Maybe, baby.

Thoracic. He's a thoracic surgeon.

What is that? Is that like dinosaurs or something?

Hey, gentlemen? You're kidding me here, right?

You got a case? Are you kidding me?

You're gonna do this again? Listen to me.

My name was on top of the board going out of here last night.

So do you want to explain to me

how it is that you have a case and I don't?

Well, you see, Jane,

when a bad man does a murder,

and someone calls the police,

you see, the responding officer then will call his sergeant.

And then that sergeant will then call...

A homicide detective.

And I'm sorry, but that homicide detective

was not you.

It's true.

Morning.

Can I talk to you?

Yeah. Sure.

Skip, it's on this time. It's on.

Who's got two thumbs, was the Brooklyn college

intramural ping-pong champion,

and also could give a rat's ass?

Wait, hold on. We gotta call Rosie.

How old is she?

- Four years old. - Four years old.

Hi, daddy.

Hey, Happy Birthday, Rosie.

Both: Happy Birthday, Rosie!

Who's my girl?

If I kept blowing off the catching order

and grabbing someone's cases, what would happen? Anything?

What are you asking me for, Jane?

I'm not taking the case away from those guys now.

They got momentum. I don't mess with that.

Is what you said the first time.

I'll make it right, okay?

You just gotta be patient.

We gotta show them that you can hang.

Is what you said the second time.

All right, next one down the pike is yours, Jane.

All right?

So let's go get a snack already. I ate.

You know, there's plenty of people in this squad

could use some help if you want to do case work.

It's not just about who gets to wear

the whitest hat all the time.

I never said it was.

Hey! What are you doing out here?

Knock it off.

- Happy Birthday. - We love you, Rosie.

- I love you, daddy. - We do love you.

Love you, baby.

- Hey, need a hand? - Somebody saying I do?

Not you specifically, no.

All right.

Meet Russell Moss.

Russell Moss... Him and his girl go to the top of a building

on 152nd, right?

- Uh-huh. - Long story short,

he throws the girl off the roof.

Or so is my surmise since Russell's pretending he's deaf.

So what do you want to do? We go in together?

You want me to take a shot alone? What's your feeling?

No, no.

Actually, I need someone to go out to Brooklyn

to pick up his stuff.

If you could.

Russell been keeping up with his parole officer?

Never had one as far as I know.

A lot of people say they never had one, but they do.

Look at this, it's all prison-issued stuff.

Dannemora...They give out these gray sweatshirts.

He lets Robert keep his stuff in there too.

Who's Robert?

Robert...Brother?

Cousin? Yeah, they cousins.

Does he stay here with him? Is he here?

Mm-mm.

Look, I have Russell. Now I need Robert.

Give me a call if you see him, all right?

Might not even be me here, so...

I... I understand. You're busy.

You're a busy man. I get it.

It's a lot of work or one guy.

Hey, you know what...

Sir, would you be willing to be deputized?

Are you up for that?

- Uh... - For your country?

Who... who gonna do that, you? What do we do?

You have to take and oath.

Uh, I don't know. Maybe. Yeah.

Mr. Moresco, can you please stand?

Put your hand on the emblem, please.

Right between the pilgrim and the Indian.

All right.

Repeat after me, sir.

I... I...

Raymond Moresco... Raymond Moresco...

- Do solemnly swear... - Do solemnly swear...

To uphold the laws and constitution...

To uphold the laws and constitution...

Of this great state of New York.

Of this great state of New York.

So help me God.

You are hereby deputized from this moment onward

by detective Jane Timoney of the NYPD.

Welcome to the fight, Mr. Moresco.

Robert Moss comes back here, call me.

Okay.

- 38-year-old Courtney Edgecourt

was raped and murdered this morning in her home.

No arrest has been made, but sources say

a family friend is being questioned

in connection with the case.

Here's tom with a Metro update.

All right, first up, we got a pattern of rapes

on the east side, which Kachenko, from SVU here,

is gonna tell us about.

Yeah, okay, starting at 87th and Lex,

continuing here, here, and so forth.

These are all push-in type attacks.

And this guy's a real freak. I mean, he does it all.
