Let me take that.

Thank you.

Please.

Nice place.

Very decorated.

Thank you, I think.

Part of the...

The benefits and drawbacks

of living alone,

I can do whatever I want

whenever I want,

but there's still no other voice

keeping me in check.

I kind of have

the opposite problem.

So, blue-collar,

even though I make money,

I never splurge.

My place is nice,

three-bedroom condo,

but it would be nice

to have someone say,

"go buy a painting,

it's okay."

You know,

I have 12 beautiful pieces

just sitting in storage.

I think we'd make a great pair.

I'm really glad you called.

I'm having a nice time.

Oh, don't mind me, marshal,

go on.

Marshal?

Are you okay?

Yeah, marshal,

you okay?

What's wrong?

She a little too thin for ya?

Too refined?

Too f***ing fake?

Yeah, she's pretty.

But she got something

you can...?

Can she ever know

what you need...

Like I can...

My sweet boy?

What the f***?

Marshal,

Jesus-f***ing-Christ.

Hey, want some advice?

I wanna give it to you anyway.

You should take a chance.

I mean, if she's a couple

of years younger.

Who cares?

She dumped you

because you're too old?

Big deal. At least

you had it for awhile.

But if it sticks...

No, you... you can't go through

your whole f***ing life

not doing anything.

"Better to have loved and lost,"

right, Sean?

Yeah, more or less.

I mean, what's worse,

uh, saying, "oh, the

relationship failed,"

and "woe is me"?

Or, "I'm not a f***ing

all-time loser.

Who never felt anything."

Wise words, my friend.

It's just that...

Uh, oh, I've been under

a lot of stress

and I think I acted

strangely in front of that girl.

She probably wants you more.

Well, that's probably true.

Uh, hold on.

Yeah, Burke here.

Yeah. I'm in my car.

Yeah, yeah, Rosemont, 75.

Just up the street

from the scene.

Hmm, Bogle is good.

All right.

Sorry, business.

Not a problem.

Sicut parabus situs nobis.

Preserving the peace

is good, Sean.

It's been a while since I was

in the altar boy business,

but, uh, I'll take that to mean,

"bless me father

for I have sinned."

The witness is spooked.

Wants some protection

until we catch this guy.

So I'm gonna send in

a new guy tonight.

Oh, the killer?

Oh, no, I shouldn't have

said anything to you.

Sean, your secrets

are safe with me

as if you spoke them

to a dead man.

Well, I appreciate

being able to vent

to someone outside

the department.

Hey, marshal, what's with

the thousand-yard stare?

Sorry.

Work.

The girl.

Hey, got to go.

Later.

Whoo!

I'd wait a while

before I go in there.

You stay here, Dan.

I'm gonna go check this out.

McCarthy?

Yeah.

Good.

Burke said you're gonna be

about 45 minutes late.
