Prime Suspect

Jane, what do you think? Frogs or clown-fish?

It's a tough. Gotta put some down for Owen so he doesn't slip.

- You're kidding me, right? - Mm-hmm.

It's amazing when the kid comes out of the bathroom without a subdural hematoma.

Just ask my ex-wife who was not a doctor.

I dare you, just ask her.

Seriously, I used that tub, now I'm going to have to sit on that?

On which now... frogs or clown-fish?

I don't know.

Can you just make me some coffee,

- or find me some gum? - All right.

So tomorrow I've got a meeting

at noon, with the 71st street people

about the facade restoration, but that's it.

Are you going to be able to get off by 6:30, you think?

Uh, as far as I know, yes.

Okay, so then I'll get Owen,

bring him back here and meet you,

get the lay of the land, and we'll let him decide

whether we go out and eat

- or order in, okay? - Fine.

By the way, does Tricia know

that he's going to be sleeping on the sofa bed

in the living room?

She might be un-delighted about that.

Mmm.

Give me gum or give me sex.

Uh-uh.

Hold, please.

Timoney.

East Fifth between "b" and "c", Janie.

I thought Duffy was up.

He is, but this is "all hands on deck."

Okay. How bad is it?

Homicide plus a missing three-year-old.

Oy, I think I'm going to need some gum for this.

- Hey. - Hey.

Signs of forced entry obviously.

No signs of sexual assault.

Mm. Anyone speak to the ex-husband?

Lou's going by his place right now.

He's not picking up his phone.

Then maybe it was him.

That would be very nice.

Suffocated her.

Pillow from the bed.

One of those memory foam things.

Those just don't seem that breathable to me

in general, even if no one's trying to kill you with one.

Uh, where's our lead detective?

Did you find Mr. Jason?

Uh, no, ma'am. Not yet.

He and Allison maybe don't get along, but he's not bad.

He's just selfish, you know?

You'll see.

Miss Castillo says Mr. Healy wouldn't kill Allison.

Or anyone.

She says what must have happened was

Mr. Healy let himself in,

found his ex-wife already dead,

then took his daughter somewhere

he has not yet been able to call 911 from.

- Hm. - So she won't be scared.

Right.

Uh, does Mr. Healy have keys to the apartment?

No.

Was Allison having a problem

with anyone else that you know of?

Uh, she don't too much except work and Hannah.

I don't know her work people.

When she's there, I'm here, you know?

She was always coming home and talking about why people

- are so stupid. - Mm.

Okay. It's all right.

C... could you do us a favor, Mrs. Castillo,

and make us a list of everything that might be missing?

I'm talking about diaper bags, warm clothes... all of that.

Come on. State of the union.

You stay with Miss Castillo.

You've got a real what's it...

Yeah, rapport.

She'll stay with Miss Castillo.

Collins will stay with Mrs. Castillo.

Jane, come with us.

I was going to. Thanks.

36, divorced,

lives alone with her three-year-old daughter Hannah.

Owns an art gallery on west 27th street.

Sometime between 9:47 last night...

off a delivery receipt for thai food...

and 8:00 this morning...

when the nanny let herself in...

someone broke in the master-bedroom window,

killed Ms. Burton, took Hannah,

and left the apartment.

Okay, so what's the story with the ex?

Jason Healy's 40 years old,

rents out of hell's kitchen.

Uh, not answering his cell phone.

No answer at the home.

Neighbors said they haven't seen him since Saturday,

or the little girl since last week.

So hopefully if we find him, we find her too.

Or he hasn't got her, in which case

she's dead, or worse.

Let's not borrow trouble, all right?

Oh, no?

If it's not a family member,

then it's nurture or abuse.

How many times have they actually found the kid

with their hair dyed, living in a tent

in the perp's backyard.

Like four times in recorded history?

Yeah, all right, all right.

Let's just concentrate on staying out in front

of this thing right now, okay?

Focus. Keep it simple.

If my daughter is not with me, "she's dead"?

Uh, here's what we know.

We have a woman by the name of Allison Burton,

who was pronounced dead at the scene.

She's in her mid-30s.

Causes, uh...

are still under investigation.

But what we do know

is that her daughter is missing.

To the best of our knowledge, she was last seen

wearing pink and green pajamas with, uh,

writing on the front that says,

"peace and love."

And at this time,

I'm appealing to the person or persons

who may be holding Hannah,

and I'm asking that she be released.

You can take her to any police station,

firehouse, place of worship,

and just... just drop her off.

I mean, uh...

Please...

just do that.

She's three years old.

We're, uh...

we're trusting you to do that, whoever you are.

And so you got in at what?

- 8:00 A.M.? - 8:30.

I turned my phone on!

There's a bunch of messages from you guys.

So I had the cab take me to Allison's.

- Where's my daughter? - Did you like

your ex-wife, Mr. Healy?

No.

Did you think she was a good mom?

Yeah.

But I didn't tell her that.

So why'd you guys get divorced?

Because I got tired of being treated like a moron.

Bet you wish you could divorce us right now.

She was, uh...

she was kind of like you guys actually...

suspicious of everyone.

Paranoid.

Ask her artists.

Ask her employees, ask anyone.

Did you hire someone to kill Allison?

- No. - Did you?

No!

Do you know who did?

Do you know where your daughter is?

Do you?

Do you know?

Did you find her?

Have some coffee.

We've got Allison's phone.

A lot of pictures, mostly of the kid.

You know, uh, birthdays, parks,

uh, playground, that sort of thing.

Okay, I'll go through it

with Miss Castillo. And what about him?

Let him stew for a bit, then we'll let him go.

Let him go, then you follow him.

For giggles. Why not? You never know.

Aye, aye, captain. But first,

what time is it, Lou?

Chicken-falafel sandwich time!

How many of them things are you going to eat?

There's no wrong answer to that question, my friend.

I don't want a fat partner!

What you got?

All right, so we have, uh,

55 registered sex offenders in the zip code.

- Right. - That's not including aliases.

So you have 42 "sexual contact with a female," right?

20 with a female under age 16,

eight with a female under the age of 12.

- Uh-huh. - Now check this out.

Out of the first five, three have lazy eyes.

What's that about?

Look at that, you're right.

Ooh, look at this one.

He looks like something you wear around your neck
