This is the next segment. It includes the famous leg crossing scene.
Enjoy and please let me know what you think? :)

A POLICE INTERROGATION ROOM - (DAY)

It is a large, fluorescent-lighted room. She walks in with Jethro and Gus. In the room are prosecutors John Corrigan, Lt. Walker, Captain Talcott, Harrigan, and Andrews. There is a police stenographer, a plain young woman in her 20's. As soon as she comes in -

CORRIGAN: "I'm John Corrigan. I'm an assistant district attorney, Ms. Shepard.

Can we get you anything? Would you like some coffee?"

JENNIFER: "No thank you."

TALCOTT: "Are your attorneys" -

JETHRO: (hiding a smile) "Ms. Shepard waived her right to an attorney." (Corrigan and Talcott glance at Jethro. She sees the look.)

JENNIFER: (smiles) "Did I miss something?"

JETHRO: "I told them you wouldn't want an attorney present."

LT. WALKER: "Why have you waived your right to an attorney, Ms. Shepard?"

JENNIFER: (to Jethro) "Why did you think I wouldn't want one?"

JETHRO: "I told them you wouldn't want to hide."

JENNIFER: "I have nothing to hide."

(The two of them keep their eyes on each other. She sits down. They sit around her. Jethro is sitting directly across from her. She lights up a cigarette. They watch her. She is poised, cool, in complete command of herself.)

CORRIGAN: "There is no smoking in this building, Ms. Shepard."

JENNIFER: "What are you going to do? Charge me with smoking?" (Ever so casually, she blows her smoke across at Jethro.)

The questioning begins:

CORRIGAN: "Would you tell us the nature of your relationship with Mr. Boz?"

JENNIFER: "I had sex with him for about a year and a half. I liked having

sex with him." (She has control of the room; she looks from one man to the

other as she speaks.)

JENNIFER: "He wasn't afraid of experimenting. I like men like that. I like men who give me pleasure. He gave me a lot of pleasure." (They watch her. She is so matter-of-fact.)

CORRIGAN: "Did you ever engage in sadomasochistic activity with him?"

JENNIFER: (smiles) "Exactly what do you have in mind, Mr. Corrigan?"

CORRIGAN: (after a beat, little flustered) "Did you ever tie him up?"

JENNIFER: "No."

ANDREWS: "You never tied him up?"

JENNIFER: "No. Johnny liked to use his hands too much. I like hands and fingers." (They stare intently at her.)

LT. WALKER: "You describe a white silk scarf in your book."

JENNIFER: "I've always had a fondness for white silk scarves. (she smiles) "I have a very vivid imagination."

JETHRO: "But you said you liked men to use their hands."

JENNIFER: "No. I said I liked Johnny to use his hands. (she smiles) I don't give any rules, Jethro. I go with the flow." (They have their eyes on each other.)

CORRIGAN: "Did you kill Mr. Boz, Ms. Shepard?"

JENNIFER: "I'd have to be pretty stupid to write a book about a killing and then kill him the way I described in my book. I'd be announcing myself as the killer. I'm not stupid." (She smiles.)

TALCOTT: "We know you're not stupid, Ms. Shepard."

LT. WALKER: "Maybe that's what you're counting on to get you off the hook."

JETHRO: "Writing a book about it gives you an alibi for not killing him."

JENNIFER: "Yes it does, doesn't it?" (She holds his eyes a second, then) - "The answer is no. I didn't kill him."

GUS: "Do you use drugs, Ms. Shepard?

JENNIFER: "Sometimes."

HARRIGAN: "Did you ever do drugs with Mr. Boz?"

JENNIFER: "Sure."

GUS: "What kind of drugs?"

JENNIFER: "Cocaine." (She looks directly at Jethro.) "Have you ever fucked on cocaine Jethro? (she smiles) It's nice." (She uncrosses her legs, deliberately revealing her bare pussy, then crosses her other leg over…they all watch her intensely.)

JETHRO: "You like playing games, don't you?"

JENNIFER: (smiles) "I've got a degree in psych. It goes with the turf. Games are fun." (They are holding each other's eyes.)

JETHRO: "How about boxing? That's a game. Was that fun for you?" (They don't take their eyes off each other for a second.)

TALCOTT: "I think that's irrelevant to this inquiry."

JENNIFER: (to Jethro) "Yes it was. Bobby died."

JETHRO: "How did you feel when he died?"

JENNIFER: "I loved him. I hurt." (Their eyes are still on each other.)

JETHRO: "How did you feel when I told you Johnny Boz had died - that day at the beach?"

JENNIFER: "I felt somebody had read my book and was playing a game.

JETHRO: "But you didn't hurt." -

JENNIFER: "No."

JETHRO: "Because you didn't love him." -

JENNIFER: "That's right." (Their eyes are digging into each other.)

JETHRO: "Even though you were fucking him."

JENNIFER: (after a moment) "You still get the pleasure. Didn't you ever fuck anybody else while you were married, Jethro?" (he stares at her, expressionless.)

LT. WALKER: "How did you know he was married?"

JENNIFER: (watching Jethro) "Maybe I was guessing. What difference does it make?" (She lights a cigarette. He stares at her.)

JENNIFER: "Would you like a cigarette, Jethro?" (He just stares at her, expressionless.)

CORRIGAN: "Do you two know each other?"

JETHRO: "No."

JENNIFER: "No."

ANDREWS: "How did you meet Mr. Boz?"

JENNIFER: "I wanted to write a book about the murder of a retired rock star. I went down to his club and picked him up. Then I had sex with him."

LT. WALKER: "You didn't feel anything for him. You just had sex with him for your book." (She looks at Jethro.)

JENNIFER: "In the beginning. Then I got to like what he did for me."

GUS: "That's pretty cold, ain't it, lady?"

JENNIFER: "I'm a writer, I use people for what I write. You write what you know. Let the world beware. (She and Jethro have their eyes on each other, then) -

JENNIFER: (to Corrigan, smiles) "Would you like me to take a lie detector test?"

THE POLICE BUILDING - (NIGHT)

We see her in a glass-enclosed cubicle with a polygraph examiner. Jethro stands outside watching her with Gus and Lt. Walker. Her back is to them. The Examiner shuts the machine down, gathers rolls of papers, and comes out of the cubicle.

THE EXAMINER: "No blips, no blood pressure variations, no pulse variance. Either she's telling the truth or I've never met anyone like her.

LT. WALKER: "Well, I guess that's it." (Jethro watches her as she sits inside.)

JETHRO: "How does somebody beat this machine?"

THE EXAMINER: "Ninety-nine point nine percent of the cases, they don't. You'd have to be able to mask the truth from your own central nervous system, your circulatory system, your adrenal glands. In my opinion, this woman is telling the truth."
(The Examiner walks away. They stand there. Jennifer stands at the door of the cubicle behind them) -

JENNIFER: "Can I go now?"

LT. WALKER: (after a beat) "Yes. Thanks for coming in, Ms. Shepard. I'm sorry to inconvenience you. (She says nothing, has a thin smile.)

JENNIFER: "Can I ask one of you for a ride?" (They look at her a moment.)

JETHRO: "Sure."

JENNIFER: (smiles) "Thanks." (he and Jennifer walk away. Gus and Walker watch them.

IN HIS CAR - (NIGHT)

It is an old, mint-condition silver Porsche. It is pouring rain; the wind is blowing a San Francisco winter storm. Nothing is said a long beat as he drives. She yawns. Stretches. He ooks at her.

JENNIFER: (smiles) "I'm tired."

JETHRO: "It's got to be tiring to beat that machine. (She looks at him and looks away.)

JENNIFER: "If I were guilty, and if I wanted to beat that machine, it wouldn't be tired. It wouldn't be tiring at all.

JETHRO: "Why not?"

JENNIFER: "Because I'm a professional liar. I spend most of my waking hours dwelling on my lies. (a pause) For my writing." (He looks at her.)

JENNIFER: (smiles) I love the rain, don't you?" (He says nothing, doesn't look at her.) "You took a polygraph after you shot those two people, didn't you?" (He looks at her now.)

JETHRO: "I passed."

JENNIFER: "You see? We're both innocent, Jethro." (He pulls up in front of her house on Divisadero, stops. He sees the white Ferrari in the driveway.)

JETHRO: "How do you know all this stuff about me?"

JENNIFER: "You know all about me."

JETHRO: "I don't know anything that isn't police business."

JENNIFER: (after a pause) "You know I don't like to wear any underwear, don't you, Jethro? (They look at each other for a moment. She playfully smiles at him) "Thanks for the ride." (And she's out of the car. He watches her as she hurries in the rain - his eyes on her until the moment she opens the door and is inside.)

THE TEN-FOUR - (NIGHT)

It is a police bar, San Francisco style. Joe Montana and Will Clark posters. The jukebox has a lot of Tony Bennett. He walks in. He sees Lt. Walker at a back booth with Gus, goes to them, sits down.

LT. WALKER: "What is all this "Jethro" stuff —Jethro would you like a cigarette. Jethro can you give me a ride."

JETHRO: "She didn't ask me for the ride. She asked anybody.

LT. WALKER: "And you volunteered." (A bartender stays behind the bar, but yells to him.)

THE BARTENDER: Perrier, Jethro?

JETHRO: "Double Black Jack rocks, Harry."

GUS: (with concern) "What you doin'?"

JETHRO: "It's my first drink in three months. That okay with you? (to Lt. Walker) She doesn't know me. I never saw her before Gus and I talked to her.

THE BARTENDER: "Here you go, Jethro." (He gets up, gets his drink) -

JETHRO: "Thanks, Harry." (He sits back down. He takes a big swig. They watch him.)

LT. WALKER: "You sure?"

JETHRO: "I'm sure." (He takes another big swig.) "Now what?"

LT. WALKER: "What now what? Now nothing. She passed the polygraph. That's it."

JETHRO: "She knew she could beat it. That's why she asked to take it."

LT. WALKER: "How the fuck do you know? What is it with you and this broad anyway?"

JETHRO: "Come on, Phil. You're not gonna let this slide. What about her parents? What about what else she's published? At least we should get the stuff to see if we find anything else that's an amazing real-life coincidence.

LT. WALKER: "Her parents died in an accident. I don't care what else she's written. What are you - a book critic?"

JETHRO: "How did they die? Was there an investigation?"

LT. WALKER: "How you're saying she killed her parents? Did she kill Bobby Vasquez, too?"

GUS: "Not unless she got up in the ring and turned into one mean sonofabitch."

LT. WALKER: "Maybe she did, Gus. Maybe she grew herself an Afro and learned a left hook and put shoe polish on her face. Let's polygraph her again and ask her about it."

JETHRO: (casually) "Fuck you, Phil."

LT. WALKER: "Fuck you, too Jethro."

JETHRO: (calls to the Bartender) "Can you get me another double Black Jack, Harry?" (Gus looks at him with concern. A man in his 50's - LT. MARTIN NILSEN is suddenly there. He is overweight, florid.)

NILSEN: (to Jethro) "Hey, shooter - You back on the Black Jack, Shooter?" (He grins. Jethro doesn't look at him.)

LT. WALKER: "We're discussing a case, Marty."

NILSEN: "I know that. I had no doubt of that."

THE BARTENDER: "Here you go, Jethro." (Nilsen takes the drink, hands it to Jethro.)

NILSEN: (grins) "Double, huh, Shooter?" (Jethro turns to him. He's sitting in the booth; Nilsen is standing there. Jethro looks like he's barely restraining himself.

JETHRO: "I'm off-duty, Nilsen. You hear me? I'm off-duty discussing a case. Internal Affairs shouldn't have any trouble with that. Maybe I should put in for overtime.

NILSEN: (grins) "You do that, Shooter. Why don't you send it to me? I'll give it special attention. (A moment passes, and then Jethro gets up, faces him.)

JETHRO: " I'm gonna tell you once more, Nilsen" - (Lt. Walker and Gus get up and hold Jethro back. Beth Gardner, the police psychologist, is suddenly there.)

BETH: "What's the problem?"

NILSEN (grins) "No problem, Doctor. Here comes the Doctor just in time to save her patient. Take care, Shooter." (And he walks away. Jethro still looks like he wants to go after him. Beth pulls him away from the booth.)

BETH: "You okay?"

JETHRO: (after a beat) "Yeah."

BETH: (smiles) "You don't look so okay." (Jethro looks at her.)

JETHRO: (smiles) "What are you doing here?"

BETH:(smiles) "Baby-sitting." (she shrugs) "Rookie cop."

JETHRO: (smiles) "What else is new?" (He looks at her again.)

JETHRO: "You want to get out of here?" (She looks at him.)

BETH: (smiles) "Yes." (At the booth, Gus and Lt. Walker watch the two of them leave.)

GUS: "Maybe it's for old-time's sake."

LT. WALKER: (watches them go out) "Sometimes I think he started banging her just to get himself off the hook with Internal Affairs."

GUS: (after a beat, smiles) "He ain't that way. He's got heart."

LT. WALKER: (smiles) "Yeah. I know."

BETH'S APARTMENT - (NIGHT)

He is kissing her hard, and rough. He forces her against the wall, pinning her hands above her head. His hands roam over her breasts, as they kiss passionately with tongue. His mouth moves to her neck and sucks hard momentarily.

BETH: "Don't - please, Jethro" -

(He pauses, then suddenly rips open her blouse, revealing her lacy bra. He kisses her harder, she moan, his hands push her bra up off her breasts. His hands cup them and massage them as they continue to kiss hungrily. He suddenly pulls her off the wall and backs them up against the opposite wall. Her back is against his chest, his left arm is wrapped around her front squeezing her right breast. Her hands reach up behind her, and thread through his hair as they kiss some more. Without warning, he aggressively moves her into the living room and leans her over the arm of the couch, his body spooning behind her. His hand pulls her thong aside, then he swiftly pulls down his pants and underwear around his knees.)

BETH: "Please don't" - (He puts his mouth to her shoulder, bites it - as they move down to the floor.)

BETH'S LIVING ROOM - (LATER)

It is dark. The are still partially dressed. They are on the floor. His shirt and tie is still on. His underwear and pants are around ankles. He's on his back, staring at the ceiling. She laying next to him - the blouse wound around her. There is a visible bite mark on her shoulder.

BETH: "What was she like?"

JETHRO: "Who?"

BETH: "Jennifer Shepard."

JETHRO: (after a pause) "She said what you said she'd say."

(She sits up, looks away. He looks at her, puts his finger on the bite mark idly, gently. He kisses her shoulder gently, then lies back down.)

BETH: "I met her at Berkeley." (He looks at her.) "We were in some of the same classes."

JETHRO: (after a moment) "Why didn't you tell me?" (She looks at him.)

BETH: "I'm telling you." (They look at each other)

BETH: (with difficulty) "You've never been... like that... before. (He says nothing, looks away from her.)

BETH: "Why?" (He doesn't look at her, says nothing.)

JETHRO: "You're the shrink." (She keeps looking at him. He won't look at her.)

BETH: "You weren't making love to me." (He looks at her.)

JETHRO: "Who was I making love to?" She looks at him.

BETH: "You weren't making love." (They look at each other for a moment, then away. He lies back down. Beth doesn't look at him, keeps sitting up.)

JETHRO: (finally) "I need a cigarette."

BETH: (after a moment) "I thought you quit." (He says nothing.)

BETH: "Top drawer in the foyer. Get it on your way out!" (she yelled out before walking out and slamming the door. A heavy sigh escapes his mouth, he thrusts his hips up, pulling his underwear and pants back up, then stands up and tucks in his shirt.)
