Striking Distance Page #2

- How are you?

- How come you never call me?

- I call, you're always busy.

- Danny's back.

- Where was he all this time?

California, someplace.

- What did he say?

- Nothing much. You know Danny.

- How are the treating you at work?

- Good.

I read that Rossmore is retiring.

Are you gonna be the next chief?

Not me, kid.

I'm just a Larimer Avenue dago.

- I hear they're gonna fry Kesser.

- That's what they do with killers.

- I'll see you around.

- Come on, let's go.

When I grow up, I'd love

to have a pair of shorts like that.

- How's your wife, Eddie?

- None of your f***ing business.

How would you know ...

You're his partner, how's his wife?

Eddie's picking on me again,

Uncle Nick.

One of these days

it's just going to be you and me!

Workers discovered the nude body

wrapped in a sheet.

Workers discovered the nude body

wrapped in a sheet.

She was identified as

Cheryl Putnam of Monessen.

Miss Putnam, a stewardess,

was abducted from her home, -

- then taken to another location,

where she was murdered.

The brutal crime reminds many

of the Polish Hillstranglings.

There's no connection other than

the victim being a white female.

The Polish Hill victims were

strangled, not shot at close range.

- You picked the wrong house to rob.

- You got nothing worth stealing.

- It's been a long time.

- I could've killed you.

- I wanted to surprise you.

- You did.

Give me a drink.

Why do you live on a houseboat?

You and your old man

should've burned this place down.

- How was California?

- Sunny.

Sunny? You're out there two years

and that's all you can tell me?

"The Simpsons"

are on an hour earlier.

Are you still mad at me?

Yeah, well, I f***ed up.

After that night on the bridge ...

I blamed you for Jimmy.

Yeah, I blamed me, too.

- I looked for you at the funeral.

- I couldn't deal with it.

An empty coffin like my mom's ...

The river took half my family.

It never gave them back, either.

I was wondering

what happened to that picture.

You, me and Jimmy at my dad's

cabin. All going to be cops.

- Brilliant idea.

- Look at us now.

I'm a dropout. Jimmy's dead.

- And you're one of those ...

- Water dogs.

It wasn't your fault

what happened to Jimmy.

He had something wrong with him.

He did, like my mom.

Nobody noticed it, until he beat

that suspect. But I noticed it ...

I never did anything about it.

You did the right thing.

- F*** 'em.

- F*** 'em.

- So, are you back now?

- I'm back.

- You want to get something to eat?

- No, I've got to meet a girl.

Danny ...

Welcome home, man.

HARDY-CHRISTMAN

- Hey, Kim Lee.

- How are you doing, Hardy?

- Who's Christman?

- Jo Christman. New diver.

- What's he like?
