Mike and Stacey in “Unfinished Business”

Mike

You call the cops?

Stacey

What?

Mike

Philadelphia PD. Did you call them?

Stacey

Y-yeah, I did.

Mike

Why?

Stacey

I told them I heard about Hoffman and Fensky-

Mike

And what?

Stacey

You don't think it's strange? First Matt, then not six months later, his partner and his sergeant? Yeah, I called them to help catch Matty's killer. Mike, what if the same person-? If—what if the piece of shit who got Matty got them too?

Mike

And what exactly did you tell them?

Stacey

I told them-

Mike

You told them Matt was dirty? Is that what you told them?

Stacey

I-

Mike

How could you possibly think that? That's your husband, the father of your child–

Stacey

I didn't say that. I-I told them I found money. After Kaylee and I moved here, when I was unpacking—it was in the lining of an old suitcase. Matt must've tucked it away in there, because this was cash. Five, six thousand, from God knows where! I mean, we were basically living paycheck to paycheck. Where the hell did he get it?

Mike

Why didn't you ask me? Why didn't you come to me?

Stacey

I couldn't. I knew what it would do to you. First he's murdered, and then for you to think... I mean, it would burn you to the ground, there'd be nothing left. And you wouldn't talk to me! Every night, you were drinking yourself unconscious like you were the only one who lost him. Look, I don't care: he was dirty, he was clean, I don't care. All I want is for whoever killed Matty to rot in a cell for the rest of their life, and then I want whatever's left of them just dumped in the trash. That's what I want. I don't care where it leads, what it uncovers. I mean, what difference would it make if he was... anything? I'd still love him, I'd still miss him, he'd still be gone!

Mike

Matt wasn't dirty!

Stacey

Well, so be straight with me. Right now! This is it, Mike! What was that phone call before he died? Don't bullshit me!

Mike

That was between me and my son.

Stacey

So, you're admitting it was you!

Mike

He wasn't dirty! Goddamn you, you get that through your head! My son wasn't dirty!
