it'd probably take

the heat off you. (EXHALES) Sure. Why not? I can't believe this happened

to Melanie. How'd you find out? Her father called here. BECK: And the other roommate? Jennifer? She went to

the shore last week. Her friend has a beach house.

Melanie was

gonna meet him there. And Melanie is Miss Hains? Yeah. When did Miss Hains leave? -Friday night.

-Friday night. Can I get you something

to drink? I'm good, thanks. I'll have a glass of water. Okay. Who's the friend at the shore? I don't know. Has your roommate called? No. I'm kind of freaking out. Miss Calderon... Call me Nikki. Nikki. What do you do? I was in grad school

but I ran out of money

so now I'm modeling. What kind of modeling? Hotel fashion shows

for businessmen. Bikinis, lingerie,

that kind of thing. Why would this happen

to Miss Hains? I don't know. Did she date any men? Yeah,

this guy from the office. His name was Martin something. Do you mind if we look through

Miss Hains' things? No, not at all.

I'll show you her room. Are you from around here,

Miss Calderon? No. I'm from a town

you never heard of. Try me. Medford Lakes, Ohio. Your folks still live there? My parents died

in a car accident. Oh. I'm sorry. Who's this? Melanie's old boyfriend

from college.

Nice guy. I met him once. Was Miss Hains into

recreational drugs? Not that I know of. Do you really

think she was murdered? (SIGHS)

We're assuming the worst. Is this Jennifer

with Miss Hains? Yeah, it's Jen. BECK: What was her last name? -Haller.

-Haller? Yeah, H-A-L-L-E-R. Do you know what

she did for work? She worked at a

medical phone exchange. How long did she work there? About three months. (TALKING INDISTINCTLY) If your roommate

should phone in

or show up, call me. Call if you think of anything. You from the Mile? -Me?

-Yeah. Yeah. How'd you know? You got that Irish accent.

I lived there. Whereabouts? 52nd Street,

across from Harold Park. Hey, I'm not gonna be

in any danger here, am I? No. Just lock the

door behind us.

Okay? You going back in? No, I got something

I gotta do. Anna will check

on the roommates. Thanks. Going to

the barbecue Saturday? I don't know. Everyone wants to see you. Right. Whatever. (DOG BARKING) Tiger! You there? Yo, Tiger! TIGER: Be quiet! Rem? Is that you, Rembrandt? Yeah. Long time no see. Yeah. The job, you know.

I need some help, partner. (COUGHS) (TIGER CHUCKLES) Smooth, huh? Made it myself. Yeah. Smooth as a baby's ass. So, what kind of help? Still got eyes

inside City Hall? What do you need? A young woman. My favorite kind. Your kind. I think she's dead. My least favorite kind. Melanie Hains.
