...that one of New York's finest may

indeed be a psychopath...

whose intent is to kill them

rather than protect them?

Tomorrow on the morning show,

we will have an interview with...

...Detective Lt. Frank Mc Crae McCrae who

is in charge of the investigation.

was ordered not to speak to the press.

You're not gonna get me!

Anybody who wants to shoot a cop these

days has got a helluva excuse.

Can you believe that?

She thought he was the

f***ing the maniac.

Look. We've received 700 letters

accusing individual police officers.

Look Councillor,

A cop gives you a parking ticket

so what you do naturally...

...you write in a letter accusing

him of being the killer. Right?

Sh*t! Why does that have to happen

4 weeks before of my retirement?

We're all in trouble, Captain.

Tourism's off by 38 percent.

This nut must be quite, he is costing the

taxpayers bringings every day.

Ripley, If you can't handle this, put in

for early retirement and step down.

No way, Councillor.

I want to nail this bastard.

Pretty sharp.

He'll be one step ahead of me.

If I stake out

Tribecca and Soho,

he strikes the east side.

He may be getting information

from inside the department.

That means he is one of us.

I didn't know you were

on duty tonight.

Yeah, With all the flu going around,

they had to put a lot of us on overtime.

Always at night.

It worries me when you

work so much at night.

Worries me too.

You don't talk about it much.

When I come home,

i wanna forget.

But it makes me

feel left out, Jack.

You used to talk to me.

Look, You're the one who

dropped out of the therapy.

I was willing to go. I was

willing to pay the bills.

So it's all my fault now. Is it?

I did everything to hold

this marriage together.

You talk like it's already over.

It's not enough to talk,

you have to listen too.

I suppose that's why you've

been taking all this overtime.

To get away from me.

- Or is it something else?

- What is that supposed to mean?

Sometimes you wake up...

... screaming, like you can't breath.

Sometimes i get afraid that you

might hurt me in your sleep.

Have I ever hurt you?

I know it's wrong to be afraid

of my own husband but I...

Now, why could't you say that

to the therapist?

Why couldn't you simply say, I'm

afraid of him and I don't know why.

Don't Jack, please!

Don't go out tonight.

Stay with me.

Now, how can I?

I'm on the duty roster.

I'll make it up to you on the weekend.

We'll go for ride in the country.

We gonna go up to Tarrytown...

Hey, Don't pull away from me.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what's

happening to me. I...

...I don't like being

alone till all hours

I hear things.
