She worked for

the mayor's office. One of her hands showed up

in Taylor Pond. I can't promise anything. Anything would be great. God, I miss you, Tiger. We had a lot of laughs,

didn't we? You okay? Yeah, I'm okay.

How about you? I miss you, too. (TV PLAYING) (DOORBELL RINGING) (GROANS) Sorry to bother you.

I didn't know

where else to go. Can I come in? Yeah. How'd you know where I lived? 52nd across from Harold Park. I checked the phone book. There's only one

Rembrandt Macy. Have a seat. Why didn't you go

to the precinct? I did. You weren't there. Oh. You want a drink? Sure. I'm scared. Why? Someone calls and hangs up. I think I'm being followed. -By who?

-I don't know. I feel like when I go out

someone's watching. -Here.

-Thanks. I didn't exactly tell you

the truth earlier. I think Jen and Melanie were

into something bad. Like what? A few weeks ago, Jen

didn't come home one night

and Melanie freaked. Why? I asked, but she went mental.

She wouldn't say. She isn't the picture

of innocence

everyone thinks she is. Her and Jen party. I mean,

they party pretty hard. Do you know who

they partied with? I guess guys from bars, clubs,

City Hall guys. Did you lie about the drugs? -Sort of.

-Don't bullshit me. I did coke with them

a couple of times. I guess Melanie's not exactly

the half of it. Look, it's getting late. There's a hotel on 9th Avenue.

I'll get you a room. Tomorrow we can

go collect your things. I could stay here. I don't think

that'd be a good idea. I don't wanna go to a hotel. I don't wanna be alone. I promise I won't

cause any trouble here. Please. Okay, you can

sleep on the couch. I'll get you a blanket. There's a towel

under the bathroom sink. Sorry I lied. It's just when I

heard about Melanie,

I got scared. I didn't know what to say. Name's Rem. Just call me Rem. (THUNDER CRASHING) (SIGHS) Nikki? Hey. Where have you been? I'm sorry.

I needed some time

to work some things out. God, I missed you. (MAN SHOUTING) (GASPS) (PANTING) Nikki? (DOORBELL RINGING) Where did... -Oh, hi.

-Hi. What, did I wake you up? No, I think I just overslept.

Come on in. (SIGHS) Ah! Another late night. REMBRANDT: Yeah. -Uh, can I make you

some coffee?

-No. Do you want

to go have breakfast?

My treat. No, it's a bad time. I got some groceries

for breakfast. -Hi.

-Uh, hi. No doubt that's

some bad timing. Later. (CHUCKLES) Who are all these people

in this picture? REMBRANDT:

Friends of mine on the job. It was a precinct barbecue

about a year ago. The woman here earlier,

what's her story? One of my partners. I'd say she wants to be
