I know we just got here,

but I-I-I-- I think I'm--

just need to call it a night.

But please

just, uh, continue

working without me.

I-- I just--

Do you need something?

No no no, I'm-- I just--

I just need to get home.

Just continue doing

what you're doing.

Uh, yeah. Huh.

I am-- I'm really confused

about the-- this--

You know, you and Raymond

figure it out.

Maybe you can direct for a while, Anita.

F*** you.

Do you think

she's gonna be all right?

I don't know.

What do you think?

You know her best.

Listen.

I know you're friends

with Tyrone, but...

have you noticed

the way he is with Martine?

Noticed what?

- What, Raymond?

- Yeah, I just--

I can't figure him out.

Well, he's strange.

So what?

So nothing, I guess.

Hi, I'm Detective Roberts.

This is Detective Abrams.

Are you the Martine Jamison

that was interviewed yesterday

- by Elizabeth Holladay?

- Yeah.

The next morning I woke up alone.

- Can we come in?

- Yeah, sure.

Elizabeth Holladay was struck

by a car yesterday

just after you two spoke.

Oh my God.

Um, how is she?

She's not doing that well.

She's in a coma at St. Vincent's.

She's in critical condition.

Oh. My God.

I-- I didn't know her that well.

- She was just--

- If it's okay,

I'd like to ask you just

a couple of questions.

- Um, It was a hit and run...

- Oh.

...so we're trying

to see if we can't make

some progress toward

identifying the driver.

It's just a few questions.

- Sure.

- Umm...

she had a tape player

running in her purse

when she was hit.

We hear some voices in it

and I just--

I wonder

if you can recognize this voice.

I'll call you and we can--

Sorry.

That's me.

She answered a cellphone call

just before the accident.

Hello? Oh, hi.

No, she just left.

She said she wasn't feeling well.

She mentioned you--

about the new piece.

Yeah, and...

Oh God.

Oh my God.

She mentioned you-- about the new piece.

Yeah, and the theater.

That voice, the man--

- you recognize it?

- No. Who is it?

It may have been the voice

of someone in the car.

We don't know.

I have no-- I-I-- I don't know.

I'm sorry. I--

All right.

If you can think of anything--

- Thank you.

- Thank you for your time.

And then one day, you and I--

I think it was us--

had a talk in your apartment.

And you said that you liked

- that most people couldn't see you.

- That's weird.

- I think it was us.

- No, it's not.

Yeah, it is, actually, a little.

Hey, there's Raymond.

Is Martine with him?

No.

Hey, d-- don't.

I don't know what your problem

with him is. He's a good guy.

I'm sorry you think that.

No reason to be sorry, Tyrone.

I know him. He is.

No.

He's really not.
