(TV in background)

And in Florida, a 52-year-old man lets

two women in the house to use the phone.

(phone rings)

- Chief Whitlock.

- Chief Whitlock, it's... it's Ann.

Ann Merai Harrison.

Somebody just broke into my house.

All right. Be right over, ma'am.

(dispatcher on radio) 26, 26. A double K

on the corner of Church and Waterford.

How you doing, Miss Harrison?

- Chief.

- You OK?

- l'm fine.

- Mind if l come in?

- Come in.

- Thank you.

Oh, boy.

Did you, uh...

did you get a good look at this fella?

Uh, yeah.

- He was, um... about your height.

- Mm-hm.

Your weight. Come to think of it,

he kinda looked like you.

Looked like me?

So, he was good-looking?

- No.

- OK.

Sorry, just not my type.

So, this... ugly man,

you know how he got in the house?

Um...

The bedroom window.

- ls it all right if l come in your bedroom?

- Yeah, come in.

- Why don't you tell me what happened?

- OK.

l was asleep, but then l woke up

because l felt something.

l saw the window was open.

And... he was standing

right where you are.

- Right here?

- Mm-hm.

You're sure? OK.

- All right, so what did he do?

- He... he came toward me.

- He came toward you?

- Uh-huh.

- Like this?

- Uh-huh.

- Then he grabbed me.

- Where?

Right here.

- Like that?

- Uh-huh.

But he was much stronger than you.

(gasps)

- Like that?

- Uh-huh.

He forced himself on top of me.

Like that?

His breath smelt like

he'd been drinking, like yours.

Really? What happened next?

- He kissed me.

- Where?

Where, baby?

Then he stripped me naked.

l'm sorry, it was confusing.

He ripped my shirt off.

You didn't put up much of a fight,

did you? Hm?

Really?

l didn't put up much of a fight?

- So, you took control?

- Mm-hm.

What did you do next?

- What'd you do, baby?

- Watch me.

Tell me what you did next, baby.

(radio) Chief?.

You gotta get down to the Scuttlebutt.

We got a situation here.

lt's about to blow.

Chief?.

- Yeah, Tony, what's up?

- Where are you, Chief?.

Can you get here?

We need you to come. Quick.

- Chief?.

- OK. Uh...

Look, Tony, l'm...

- Coming now.

- No!

l gotta go, baby. Gotta go.

Gotta go to work.

- We'll pick up on this crime tomorrow?

- OK.

- What kind of crime?

- Bad one. Assault with a deadly weapon.

Breaking and entering.

- See you later, baby.

- OK.

(sighs)

- How you all doing?

- Hey, Chief.

- (woman) Morning.

- Hey, there.

Mathias Lee Whitlock.

Hey, how you doing, Chris?

You having breakfast

with all your friends here?

l would invite you, Chris,

but l don't want to.

You know, l'd sit down,

but... l don't want to.

- Did they find us a table?

- Yeah, we're in the back.

- Matt.

- How you doing, Ann?

OK. l'm starving. Good to see you.

Good to see you, too.

Hey, Chris. Try the crab. lt's real good.

- l'm allergic.

- l know.

Right.

How you doing, Sharlene?

- What time is it?

- 3 o'clock.

Let's go.

Hey, man.

They're out of paper towels again.

- How you doing, Chae?

- Good.

Thought the camera only added 10lbs.

- Looks good, doesn't it?

- Kinda. ln a pudgy way.

So l thought this might be an opportune

time to revisit my offer to invest.

- Costa Rica?

- Charter a boat.

- Steal the evidence money.

- What's this? You filed a report on it yet?

- That it?

- That's it.

- Man, 485 grand. Can l touch it?

- No, you can't.

- l just wanna touch it.

- Get your hands out of there.

- Maybe l'll just steal it.

- Maybe l'll just shoot you.

Stop thinking like a cop for five seconds.

Just listen to my proposition.

Take a grand out. We'll go to the boat

show, we'll walk around with the money.
