Well, in that case I vote they recycle Richie again.

Notes:
PJ looks like he lost a *lot* of weight* between this episode and the last one.
Amanda says it's a "city of 5 million"..so..does that narrow our choices of where Raven was set? Or should we just forget these internal clues?
Amanda is shot and "killed" and stays dead for less than 30 seconds. In the next episode, she is impaled and "killed" and stays dead for 5 minutes (or more). Why?
Not my favorite episode by a long shot....such a mundane cop story.
*************************
Scene 1: Nick , Lucy and Amanda are at Amanda's. Nick realizes that Bonita probably didn't kill his manager 6 years ago.
American: Cut to inside of baseball stadium, looking down at the field. Ray and Daryl walking on field.
European: Cut to outside. Front of baseball stadium. Ray is waiting. Daryl arrives in his car. Ray approaches and they shake hands.
<throughout the whole scene, Daryl seems honestly concerned about Ray and his troubles. Ray starts out calm and gets more agitated as they go along>
R: "Been awhile."
D: "You bet."
R:"Thanks for coming."
D: "Good to see ya."
<They walk. A bunch of kids approach Daryl looking for autographs. Ray is shunted aside. We see a big sign proclaiming the stadium to be "Home of Daryl Keenan". Daryl and Ray walk along street outside the stadium>
D:"You know..I had it all worked out for you .Now you have half the police after you."
R:"So let them find me."
D:" I just don't get it. You had a nice little job in my organization."
R:<motioning to facial scar> "Like this scar is gonna match a suit."
D:"This. I suppose, is where you tell me I ought to see the other guy?"
R:"The other guy is dead."
< a bit of silence as that sinks in>
R:" So..how's the arm?"
D:"Still tight. Those sons of bitches have me working in the off season. Hell....I figure it's their nickel. I'm just a working stiff."
R:"Ya gotta stay in shape."
D:<back to being serious> Why'd ya have to kill that guy? I woulda worked it out."
R: Because no one screws with Ray Bonita. Not anymore. Plead manslaughter..the public defender tells me. Do six years, you'll come out a young man, she tells me. Too bad she didn't tell me about the animals that come for you in the middle of the night. But I learned. Someone takes something from you - you take it right back. Or you're meat. That bastard took my life."
D:"That bastard was a DA."
R:"He was a liar."
D:"I just want to help. Just tell me what you want. Just tell me what I can do."
R:<smiles> I want the "Show"
Cut to American version, inside stadium.
Scene 2: In Angie's bar. Amanda has come to talk to Angie.
American:
Angie: He's not a monster. You don't know him. No one does. ..He was innocent...and it didn't matter.
Euro:
Angie: He's not a monster. You don't know him. No one does. <pause> Do you know what it's like to be 21 and so much in love that it hurts?"
Amanda:"It's been a while."
Angie:" And he loves you so much , he'll stop an entire game on a summer night in July to wave to you..just to let everyone know you're his? That he'll go hungry when his team is on the road- because he spent his meal money talking to you on the pay phone? That's how much he loved me. He was innocent ...and it didn't matter.
Scene 3: Daryl shoots Ray.
American : Cut to Nick inside <somewhere> looking at old team photos of Ray and Daryl.
Euro: Cut to shot of baseball stadium from a car driving on highway. Then cut to Nick inside looking at photos.
**************************
Blah. The end.
