Night School

That's vvhat you vvanna be vvhen you grovv up?

Uh-huh.

- A schoolteacher? - Uh-huh.

Well, why, for heaven's sakes?

Because I like you.

Well, I like you, too.

Here.

Thank you.

Come on, Lisa!

Oops!

There's mommy.

Bye, miss barron.

Goodnight, Lisa.

We did finger painting in school today.

Ain't you going home, miss barron?

Yeah, in a while.

Well, goodnight.

Goodnight, Harry.

I'm afraid all the children have left.

Who was it you came for?

Who are you?

Stop it! Stop it!

You idiot! What are you doing?

Oh, god!

Oh! No!

Please!

No!

No!

God!

Please! No!

Aah!

No! Oh, god!

Aah!

God, no! Don't!

Aah!

Stop, please! Let me off!

Let me off!

Aah!

Aah!

- Coffee? - Yup.

- Uh, juice? - Grapefruit.

How about my cereal?

Snap, crackle, pop.

That's terrific.

You're going to make somebody a great vvife someday.

Oh, promises, promises.

How come we didn't figure out last night

that we didn't have anything for breakfast?

We were pretty busy last night, remember?

Yeah, we were, weren't we? Ohh!

Ch, come on! We did that already. Novv let's eat.

I know.

We could have breakfast in bed.

That's all you think about, isn't it?

Almost.

See how I cleaned up the house for you?

Anything for you.

So vvhat nevv and exciting things does Boston have to offer today?

Well, there's a guest speaker

at the Harvard club at 2:00.

That sounds boring.

How do you want your eggs?

Cooked.

Your wit is outstanding.

Oh, I'm glad you like it.

You don't care at all

about your alumni activities, do you, judd?

Honey, it's just that i did the Harvard bit.

I have no intention of becoming

one of their ageless undergraduates.

It wouldn't do you any harm to stay involved.

I don't seem to be able to get it across to you

that I like my lifestyle just the vvay it is.

There's ice skating in the park.

There's an exhibition of Chinese art

at the civic center.

No?

Look, why don't we drne down to the cape

and have lunch?

Sounds terrific.

We could take a long walk on the beach.

Yeah. Okay, slave, breakfast.

I'm starving.

Hello? Yeah.

Taj ?

When?

Uh-huh.

You go on ahead. I'll meet you there.

Bye.

Your office?

Oh, judd.

It's your day off. You promised.

I'm sorry, Stevie, but it's important.

Stevie, look, why don't you just--

honey. Honey.

Honestly...

I wouldn't go if I didn't have to.

I know, but--

come on. Let me make it up to you.

Book a table at the racket club for about 7:00.

I'll be done by then.

It's my job.

Yeah.

Well, it's a lousy job.

Listen, I hope you had a good breakfast

'cause this one's kind of messy.

Dave, hey!

Okay, sergeant, it's all yours.

Any angles, bill?

Not that I can see.

Just a neat job of decapitation.

Head completely severed from the body.

That makes tvvo killings in a vveek.

Let's hope this isn't going to become an epidemic.

Thanks.

Okay, get on it, will you? Thanks.

O Kay.

Let's have a look.

Same m.O. As the last one.

No fingerprints, no suspects, no motives, no nothing.

Who was she?

Anne barron. She worked as a teacher's aide here.

When did it happen?

About 6:00 last night. I guess right after school closed.

Alright. I give up.

Where's the rest of her?

This you're not going to believe.

Why? Why would he mutilate her over there

and bring the head here and put it in a bucket?

You're the college genius. I'm just a cop.

- You vvant shots of the building? - Of everything.

- Beats the hell out of me. - Vvho found her?

This morning, the director. She's inside.

Roberts, clear that sidevvalk for crying out loud!

You're not going to get much out of her. She's pretty shock up.

How long have you known Anne barron?

Oh, um...A couple of months maybe.

She came to work here in September.

Oh, such a sweet girl.

She loves children, and they love her.

There.

Can you tell me anything abqut her activities outside of vvork?

Nothing really. She vvorked here during the day

to put herself through school.

Do you know what school?

Yes. She attended classes in the evening at vvendell college.

A girls school on beacon hill.

She was studying to be a teacher. Oh!

We'll keep in touch with you.

Here, miss Armand. Drink this. You'll feel better.

- Thank you. - Everything vvill be alright.

I don't vvant the press here until we get an I.D. From the parents.

Seal this area. Go over it vvith a fine-tooth comb.

- We did. - What did you get?

- Nothing. - Then go over it again!

Okay, boss.

Meet me at the coroner's office with the complete reports.

I'll have to go check out that girls college.

Oh, that's great. I get all the routine stuff.

You get to go to the girls school.

One of the advantages of a Harvard degree.

Kaka lrah,

-"which in Armenian means...?" -"Here comes the bullshit."

Not a mark on the body.

No contusions, no lacerations, nothing.

No signs of sexual assault.

Just a quick, clean execution. Like a guillotine.

Execution? What can I tell you?

That's an odd word to use.

That's the one that comes to mind.

I'll finish this report.

- Thanks, Joe. - Judd.

- Taj, you remember the Walker case last week?

- We found a torso in the bushes? - Yeah.

How long did it take to find the head?

Tvvo days. Forensic report-- nothing.

You remember where you found it?

A duck pond. Fingerprints-- nothing.

- Submerged in vvater. - In a duck pond, it figures.

This time, in a bucket... Full of vvater.

Vvait a minute. Are you trying tc) Feed me some of that fancy-schmansy freudian--

this is no mystery, judd.

We got a nut on our hands,

a psycho vvho just likes going around chopping off heads.

And that's your considered opinion, is it?

-15 years on the force. -15 years? And still a sergeant?

Sticks and stones, lieutenant, sticks and stones.

I've got this invitation to go away this weekend.

That's great.

I know. I'm really excited.

I have a chance to go skiing.

The only problem is that I've gut so much vvork.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, lieutenant.

But vvith 300 students, it's difficult to get to knovv all of them intimately.

Perhaps you can speak to one of her classmates.

That would help.

I hope this doesn't mean vve'll be inundated vvith nevvspaper people.

There isn't much I can do about that, miss Griffin.

Anne was one of our night students.

Many of my girls do vvork during the day and go to class at night.
