- I'm gonna take a walk. You deal with him.

- Yeah, I got it.

That was Dr. Sterling. Okay, bye-bye.

It's a hell of a thing.

- Yup.

- I heard her show once.

Erica?

Erica, can you hear me?

Erica?

You had the service?

They didn't know when

you were going to wake up...

...if you were going to wake up.

You were gone for three weeks.

We had to let him go. We had to.

I wanna see him again.

- He's gone.

- I wanna see him again!

He's gone, honey.

He would have been happy

that you lived.

Nurse Bench, you have a call on one-four.

Nurse Bench.

I don't know. All the faces

are starting to blur together. l...

I just can't tell anymore, you know?

You gotta help us here. We need

something from you, anything.

Let's start over again.

He hit your boyfriend with the pipe.

Once, twice, three times?

We know how tough it can be...

...to go back there...

- Do you, huh?

Look, Miss Bain, we're on your side.

Yeah.

I know that.

You're the good guys.

So how come it doesn't feel like that?

Please leave a message for David and Erica

after the beep.

Hey, it's me. Call me at the gallery.

I'll take you out. Go to dinner, a movie.

Let's go for a walk. Anything, okay?

Ma'am, can I help you?

Detective O'Connor and Detective Pitney,

please.

Pitney and O'Connor are out.

Can anyone else help you?

Well...

...you know,

I wanted to check on my case.

I've been calling and

we've been playing phone tag...

...and I thought that if I came down...

- Okay.

What kind of case did you have?

My boyfriend was beaten to death.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Do you have a complaint report number?

- No, I don't know it.

- And what was his name?

David Kirmani.

K-l-R-M-A-N-I.

It might be under Erica Bain.

About how long ago did it happen?

June 11 th.

Okay. I realize how difficult

this can be...

...but if you'd please be patient

and have a seat over there...

...an officer will be down shortly

to help you.

Okay.

I realize how difficult it can be...

...but if you'd please be patient

and have a seat over there...

...an officer will be down shortly

to help you.

- Wanna get something to eat?

- What's up, guys?

- Hey.

- You saw the game last night?

Man.

Could I help you?

Yeah. I wanna buy a gun.

License?

Oh, yeah, of course.

I need a license, yeah.

Once you get one, fill out this form,

and we'll notify you in 30 days.

I need to get something now.

Sorry. That's illegal.

Hey!

I won't survive 30 days.

Hey.

- What happened to you?

- Me? Nothing.

A thousand dollars.

A thousand dollars?

Okay, but I need to learn how to use it.

No sh*t. Follow me.

Wait right here.

In here.

It's a Kahr K9.

Check to see if it's loaded.

How do I do that?
