I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
L.A. Detective Owen Murphy is on a mission to clear his name on a murder he didn't commit. But he must do it before he falls asleep... because the next time he does might just be the last time.
Murph relishes his time with kids Erin and Emily, but things get tense with wife Andie when Murph wants a drink to knock the edges off a long day. Andie feels Murphy isn't in her corner like he should be. Later that night Murph gets a call out to the Fidelity Tower roof where some of LAPD's finest have gathered at a crime scene. A woman's been murdered. Murph meets his boss Gussie and SAS cop Zizi there. Gussie's hoping Murph can ID the body. Ruby. Murph says he doesn't know her and leaves.
Murph heads right for Ruby's apartment to retrieve the butterfly, but cops are waiting there for him and bring him in for questioning, which does not go well, but he's released pending serology results. He heads home to find Zizi and another cop questioning Andie, complete with photos. Murph takes off in his Mustang, falls asleep at the wheel and wrecks. In the ICU Dr. Chang informs Murph that he has a variant of Ondine's Disease -- inoperable mass on his brain stem. If he falls asleep he will seize as he did in the car, stop breathing and die.
With evidence against Murph mounting and an arrest imminent, Murph books it out of the hospital. First stop, home, where Murph finds Andie being consoled by Nik. Murph senses Nik betrayed him with Gussie and maybe even his wife. Nik confirms that Gussie's coming for him. Murph leaves in Andie's van. Gussie and crew show up at the hospital. Murph's a murder suspect.
Over the ensuing days, Murph tries desperately to stay awake, even resorting to soliciting drugs from characters he's busted before. He also solicits the help of long-time friend and attorney Artie, who agrees to talk to Gussie. He's a lot of things, but he's no murderer. He's certain it must be Gonzo, getting back at him for putting him away. He switches van plates and snatches a phone from Tranny drug dealer Jojo and goes on the hunt for Gonzo, who's already been kicked for the Leticia’s murder.
Time is running out. Soon he must and will sleep. When he finds Gonzo, even violent interview techniques don’t get Murph a confession. He must go home and say goodbye and confront Nik, who Murph now surmises was the perp, given all the evidence and opportunity. But when Murph does arrive home and finds Nik there, another confession comes to light. Andie confronted Ruby and things went south. Gussie shows up, and before he sleeps, Murph does his best to clean up the mess he's made and confesses to the murder of Ruby.
