I can't.

How about just for the night?

Better watch your coat.

I've got a lot of greasy stuff.

- Is there a light?

- Right in front of you.

No wonder I couldn't find you.

Were you looking for me?

Yes, I was looking for you.

Could we open a window?

Get out of here.

Windows are broken.

I can open that door.

Thanks. That's a little better.

I'm sorry I disappeared.

It wasn't your fault

any more than it was mine.

That's just the way it happened.

When was the last time

you cleaned this place?

I don't remember.

It's good to see you.

I hear that you were suspended.

Word gets around.

No, Paulsen called.

He and Foster were close.

You still on the wagon?

- Yeah.

- Good.

I just brought one of the kids

from Newcastle.

- You've got kids now?

- No, I work with children.

There's a lot of kids

that need psychological help.

That's really nice.

- Yeah.

- Sorry about the pigeons.

I can't kill 'em.

How's Foster's mom?

The same.

- I don't think she'll ever get over it.

- Yes.

How are you?

Me? I'm crazy as ever.

I miss him.

I miss him, too.

I'll make some coffee.

Don't you have any reaI food?

It's midnight. Tide's coming up.

- Come on.

- Let's go get a beer. There's nothing here.

Foster?

Come on.

Durkin, you're sick.

Freeze!

You want breakfast?

No.

Fine, I'll drive.

Hop in.

Are you telling me

you guys from Oxford don't eat breakfast?

Yeah, right after I run.

- You what?

- Run.

Five miles every morning.

- What's the matter, you don't get laid?

- Yeah, every night.

You get laid every night,

and you run five miles every morning?

Yeah. Except Sundays.

My girlfriend and I stay in bed

and fool around.

That's disgusting.

What is it?

Nothing. I need coffee.

What's this?

Books:
paranormal psychology,

astrology, the occult.

- You read them all?

- Last night, after sex.

Do you mind?

You smoke too much,

drink too much coffee...

- ... and eat too much sugar.

- Helps ease the tension.

I can get rid of that.

Massage is one of my hobbies.

That's it. Now, just relax.

Let the tension flow.

Listen, pal, touching

me is not a great idea.

We're cops, okay?

- How's it going?

- Good.

Get me some breakfast, coffee.

Could I have a Lapsang Souchong

and a croissant, please?

You know,

I think you have supernatural powers.

- You read that in one of your books?

- Yeah.

In the Black Masque. I collect them,

it is one of my hobbies.

- Do you have any hobbies?

- Not since I gave up drinking.

You quit drinking? Good for you.

What is it about you

that reminds me of my mom?

Maybe because I'm so charming.

My mom was a lot of things,

she was not charming.

- God, I love this job.

- Interested?

It's really good.
