get when you sell the stamp.

Then you know what

y'all got to do.

You got to

find us a buyer.

Or maybe you can mail

yourself to sun city

or wherever the f***

retired policemans go.

Listen to me,

god damn it!

Get your hands

off me, ray.

Don't forget I was the state

prison boxing champ.

You're going

to get hurt.

Whoo!

boxing champion, huh?

As I recall, that was

a woman's prison.

I'm gonna slap

the sh*t--ow!

You don't listen,

that's your problem.

Bernie!

Oh, god!

Oh, god!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I told you.

Let's calm down

now, ok?

You b*tch!

Ray--

you lousy b*tch!

Ray!

That's it!

That's it!

I'm reopening the case!

You'll be the state prison

boxing champion again!

You hear me!

Look! give me

a break, ray.

A week!.

I'll get you

2 fur coats!

Damn it!

Damn it!

Hi.

Oh, god!

I'm sorry.

I was out of town.

Oh, Carson!

Look at me.

Don't.

Don't worry

about that.

This is like

a terrible nightmare.

You've got

to get me out of here.

Please, please,

get me out of here.

They fingerprinted me.

They undressed me.

I'm wearing

cotton underwear!

The kind that comes

up to here!

Sit down.

Come on, please.

Did my guy bates

do ok?

Well, he came. He just

said you were coming.

He didn't say anything.

Who is he?

A lawyer

in my firm.

He's a child.

He's 27.

And those pictures!

Those

dreadful pictures!

Who's going to see

those pictures?

Let me tell you what's

going on, all right?

They're going to keep you here

because they think

the murder weapon

came from your office.

It's some kind

of a dental tool.

I know all that.

Probable cause.

What is that?

It means the police think

that maybe--

no, how long?

They can only keep you

for 72 hours.

Well,

how long is that?

What?

How many days?

That's, uh...

It's, uh...

Oh, Christ.

3 days.

3 days.

Jesus Christ!

I'm going to

die in here!

I'll choke

on my underwear!

Have you smelled

this place?

It's like a goddamn

clorox factory!

Cynthia,

listen to me, please.

You are not going

to die in here.

You didn't kill

Christopher, right?

Of course I didn't

kill him.

Then I'll get you out,

so don't worry, ok?

Huh!

Now, you told them

nothing, right?

No.

Good.

I mean no.

I did tell them

something.

What?

I told them

the other day

I was talking

to a patient of mine,

and I was telling her

how Christopher

just leaves

all this jewelry

all over the apartment

for anybody to steal.

A black woman, ok?

What are you saying?

That Christopher caught her

in the act, and she--

the police said

there was a burglary.

They did?

Mm-hmm. closet door

was broken into.

The alarm system

was tampered with.

I didn't know that.

Well, hell!
