Hank.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I got a little bit of
the dog that bit me.

I'm not feeling myself today.

I'll know this song by airtime.

I mean I got no problem with it.

I've been doing
this all my life.

Can I go home, please?

Come on, let me go home.

Let's wrap it up, Henry.

Richard's on his way.

Everybody take five.

Remember your positions.

We're expecting
you, too, Nathan.

Well, boys and girls,

what do we have that's
hopeless so far this afternoon?

Everything is
fine, it's just 100%.

Did you manage to re-cut
the beginning of the show?

Yes, and I must tell
you that it looks great.

We're still doing the
history of the magazine

and all the social stuff,

but now the centerfolds
are filtered

through there a little more
sparingly like you wanted.

Great, it sounds wonderful.

Yeah.

Cleo, I want you
to call the police,

get some backup
for armed security.

Well, what for?

Because we've had a lot
of promo on this show,

and we're on live
and we're gonna

have every nut in
town in our laps.

Call the police.

Incredible, look at that.

They gotta use a hot
airbrush on that, I tell ya.

Airbrush, who cares?

I mean, who really cares?

'Cause, uh, the human
body's a thing of beauty.

Right, Hernandez?

Am I right?

What if I don't sign it, huh?

What about that?

What if I just tell them it's

a matter of manpower down here?

Hey, Tony, why do
they want homicide

for this paradise thing?

I thought Metro
handled security.

What's the matter with you guys?

You don't even care?

Look at this, stoner's
leaving, breaking up the team.

What?

I got a transfer.

Yeah, well, I'm
not gonna sign it.

Aw, Dan.

You know what it is, don't you?

You're depressed,
you just turned 40.

You feel you lost...

I don't wanna hear that.

You know what they
call it don't ya, Dan?

Midlife crisis, that's
what they call it.

It's called getting tired
of two A.M. phone calls

and trips to the morgue, Tony.

Homicide, Brencato.

Hernandez, how do you say

"don't fix it again,
Tony" in Spanish?

Maybe he'll understand that.

Yeah right, yeah,
they got a copy of it.

They're looking at it
here, drooling over it.

Hey, Dan, take a look at this.

Cassie Bascomb,
angel of the year.

Sort of makes your hands
sweat, doesn't she?

I don't need that.

You are depressed.

Yeah, ray, I'll see.

Not too much, they
want homicide.

They want a
plainclothes detective

that can blend in
with the surroundings.

Hey, Tony, you're
looking at your man.

You know what they used
to call me in high school?

The chameleon.

Yeah, well, there's just
one other little requirement.

Female.

What?

I'll fill you in a
little later, Rose.

That's discrimination,
Tony, and you know it.

Hey, Dan, will you just come
back inside and hear me out?

That's all I'm asking.

Tony, we've been
through this before.

So indulge an old friend?

15 years.

I don't know.

Wait, wait, wait.

Tony says bankers hours,
no more two A.M. phone calls.

You tell that to Nancy.

Yeah, well, that's exactly
what he said last time.

I got to thinkin',
well I don't know.

Whether operation is
gonna be enough for me.

That's exactly what
you said last time.

How am I doing up there?

You're doing fine.

Watch the step, one step down.

I know where the steps
are, just look up above me.

Okay, you're fine, you're fine.

Okay.

You're all right.

Hey, what happened to the game?

What is this, cable?

It's called
tasteless adult programming.

Come on, Todd.

Hey wait a minute, that's
that, uh, paradise party.

Hernandez is working that.

Our Rose?

Our Rose.

Come on, Todd.

I'm watching the
game, I just switched it

during the commercial.

Let's go, young man.

Don't strain your eyes, stoner.

Yeah, I get it in
the morning, hon.

Ready, two.

And take it.

This party tonight is
celebrating paradise magazine's

entry into your
living room, so, uh.

Cover up.

I'm peeking.

Mr. Trainor sent a limousine
for me this evening.

Thank goodness it missed.

There's so many
celebrities tonight.

There's Debbie,
Lana, frank, Barbara.

They're all here.

It's packed, full of
opulence, and money, and fun

because of Mr. Richard Trainor.

He's so generous, he gave
me a group insurance policy.

I get a thousand bucks
if I'm killed in a group.

Could you die?

But I am kind of lucky, though.

I made a killing in the market
today, I shot my butcher.

Oh, forget the frivolity.

Look who's here,
miss congeniality!

Miss January!

Pamela Cummings!

Ah, precious, come in, darling.

Look at this face,
ladies and gentlemen.

Not a blemish.

There is a god.

Pam, I'm a great fan of yours.

I have a joke, like the
dress you almost have on.

That wasn't it.

Let me ask you a
question, Pamela.

What do you call a boomerang
that won't come back?

Hello, anybody in?

What do you call a boomerang
that won't come back?

Oh, a stick.

A stick!

100%.

She's brilliant,
look at the face.

Didn't I see you at
Redford on rodeo last week?

Pamela, can you hear me?

Read my lips.

Didn't I see you and
Redford on rodeo last week?

Hello, hello!

Get her off of there.

She's blowing the whole thing.

Get her off.

If looks could kill, you'd
be a real angel by now.

But in your case, a little devil, huh, Pam,
huh, you get it?

Hello, hello!

We're really not like that.

I mean, people have this
crazy idea, you know,

just because we pose in the
nude, we're, well, you know.

Well, it's been nice trying
to talk to you, Pamela.

Thank you very much.

I just don't want
everybody to think

that we're all a
bunch of hookers.

Hookers.

She said hookers on TV.

I'll be okay.

Guess who else is here?

They're all here tonight.

You've missed nothing.

Miss February, Kara Alexander.

Come in, precious angel.

Look at this, look at this.

Oh, Gail keating,
miss march, is here.

Come in, precious.

Look at these.

Kiss, kiss, kiss.

And speaking of miss march.

March, march, march,
march, march, march, march,

I have to go now.

Come and join the fun.

March, march, march,
march, march, march, march.

- The hell was that?
- The hell was that?

Find out, Charlie.

Take a look.

Oh, my god.

Yeah, stoner.

No, Tony.

No!

Well, if it's suicide,
what do you need me for?

Oh, yeah?

Well, did you talk
to the room clerk?

She's drunk, she's unhappy,

she just made a fool
of herself on TV.

Tony, why rent a room?

Why not jump off the roof?

Anybody talk to the parents?

They're flying out
from Ohio tomorrow.

Listen, Dan, Dan.

The desk clerk's story
sounds a little fishy to me.

Look, maybe you
ought to talk to him.

You're trying to reel
me into this thing.

I'm just trying
to do a job here.

All right, guys,
here's the scoop.

The girl didn't jump.

She came straight down.

From the edge of
the balcony up there

out to the line of
impact is 88 inches.

Most of your jumpers
really take a leap.

Not this one.

Could she have fallen?

Maybe she was
sitting on the rail

and she went over backwards.

Nah, from the way she landed,

she probably went
over head first

and then rotated onto her back.

I'll see you kids at the office.

Yeah.

Thanks.

What do you think?

What do I think?

I think all this whining
about my instincts

and this being a tough
case is somewhat smoke.

The girl was murdered, Tony.

So?

Yes, sir, may I help you?

Yes, detective stoner.

I understand you were on duty

when Pam Cummings
made her reservation.

I was, but it was by phone,

so I really don't remember her.

Well, she must have registered.

Look, this place
has been a madhouse.

Why don't you ask
lieutenant, what's his name?

I told him
everything about this.

I know you did that, but
I want you to tell me now.

Excuse me, detective stoner?

Yes.

I'm Heather English.

I was a friend of Pam's.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Um, what can I do for you?

I just want to talk
to you for a minute.

Thanks.

Mm-hmm.

I mean, I know what
they're saying about Pam,

but I just don't believe it.

I mean, she never would
have killed herself.

How long have you known her?

Long enough to know that she
was basically a happy person.

Yeah, well, she wasn't
too happy tonight.

Have you talked to
lieutenant Brencato?

Yes, but he said that
you were handling the case.

Yes, go on.

There's something else
I think you should know.

I mean, it might
not be anything,

but a couple of months ago

I remember hearing that
Mr. Trainor was upset

'cause some weirdo was following
one of the girls around.

Apparently this guy was
even threatening her.

Threatening who, exactly?

Cassie Bascomb.

Ah.

Do you know her?

No, I've just seen pictures.

Well, anyway, tonight
when Brencato asked us

if there had been anything
like that, you know,

creeps or hate mail,
Trainor didn't mention it.

And when he didn't,
nobody else did either.

You're suggesting he's
trying to hide something?

I don't know.

But I thought that since
you were handling the case,

you ought to know.

Yes, since I'm
handling the case.

Thank you.

What do you mean maybe?

I mean either you've taken
the case or you haven't.

I don't even know
if there is a case.

That's why I want
to talk to Trainor.

Oh, right, I get it.

This is all just for Tony.

It wouldn't have anything to do

with all those beautiful women.

Nance, come on,
I'm a big boy now.

Yeah, well that's
what I'm worried about.

Mr. Trainor?

Detective sergeant Dan stoner.

Yes, sergeant,
this is Cleo banks.

Nice to meet you.

How are you?

Our managing director.

How can we help you?

That's all for now, ladies.

Who's that?

I think he's a cop.

Must be about Pam.

Do they always leave notes?

No, no, of course not.

But in this case, her
parents, her friends,

everyone says it just
wasn't in the cards.

Oh, sergeant, let me
introduce Kara Alexander,

Gail keating, Heather English.

Alan Conti.

Sergeant stoner is
investigating Pam's suicide.

And the possibility
it was not a suicide.

You mean she might
have been murdered?

But why?

That's what we're
trying to find out.

I understand some guy
threatened one of your girls,

a Cassie Bascomb.

Well, yes, but that
was a very long time ago.

Excuse me Richard,
but if you and the girls

are going to make that luncheon,
you'd better get going.

Oh, yes, that's true.

Girls, if you want to go
ahead and get dressed,

I'll be with you
in a few minutes.

Nice to meet you.

Thank you, it was
nice to meet you.

Thank you, good session.

I'm sorry.

That was not very subtle,

but the last thing in
the world that I need

is for you to
frighten these girls.

I'm gonna have to talk
to them sooner or later.

You already did, at
least, your lieutenant did.

All right, let's start
with one of your girls,

this Cassie Bascomb.

Do you have her address?

Cassie Bascomb doesn't

have anything to do
with this at all.

She's not even part of the
organization any longer.

I still would
like to talk to her.

Why?

Because I want to
cover all the bases.

Now do you have her address?

You can get
it from my secretary, yes.

Kara exudes a carefree spirit,

a playfulness, and yet
just below the surface,

there's that
smoldering sexuality.

Who writes this stuff anyway?

I don't know.

Some guy.

Oh, this is great.

Raised in the sun-washed
beaches of Malibu,

she is proud of her
firm, strong body.

Hey, don't you have
anything to eat in here?

I was basically
raised in a bikini,

says the forthright
miss February,

so nudity has never had
any negative connotations.

Hey, Kara, bring me
another beer, will you?

Always full of
life and vitality.

There's a dime store kitchen
knife, no prints, obviously.

The killer was right-handed

according to the
medical examiner.

Uh, the depth of the wounds?

Soft tissue, could
be man or woman.

What about the boyfriend?

Well, he's all in pieces.

He was in the living
room when it happened.

He said he heard a car leave

from the road up
above the house here.

And no footprints.

No, it's all concrete
and tile out there.

Yeah.

Well, if you ask me, it
sounds more like an attack

on paradise magazine
than on these girls.

Well, if it is, it backfired.

That Pam Cummings
issue sold out.

Sex and death, you know.

Big sellers.

The arrogance of this
guy, January, February.

So who's miss march?

Gail Keating, she's
staying at Trainor's villa.

Mooney's going to coordinate
security over there,

and Rose is gonna stay with
Heather English, miss April.

So, what does Cassie
Bascomb have to say?

I haven't talked to her yet,
she just got back into town.

That's where they
found the knife.

I don't understand why
Trainor didn't tell you

some creep was following
her in the first place.

That makes two of us, moon.

Hello.

Detective stoner
for miss Bascomb.

Yes?

Okay.

Detective stoner?

I'm Cassie Bascomb,
I've been expecting you.

Come on, my desk is back here.

Thanks.

Well, here we are.

Would you like some
coffee or something?

No, thanks, nothing.

You knew I was coming?

Yes, Richard told me.

So, uh, this certainly is
a far cry from the magazine.

How long you been here?

A couple of months,
thanks to Richard.

They handle his portfolio here.

They're still not at all sure

I'll fit the
stockbroker's image.

Well, then, uh, I guess you know

that I want to ask you

about that incident
with what's-his-name.

Albert stark?

But it wasn't exactly
an incident, Mr. stoner.

It was more like an ordeal.

When did this happen?

About four months ago.

Did you call the police?

Oh, yes.

But all they could
do was warn him.

Do you have any idea
why Trainor would be

reluctant to talk about this?

Maybe he was
just trying to protect me.

From what?

I was pretty overwhelmed
by the whole thing.

Anyway, I left town for a while

and I didn't fulfill my
obligation to paradise.

What obligation is that?

I was angel of the year, if
you'll pardon the expression.

I had some promotional
work and things to do.

But I was pretty much
of a basket case.

Well, you seem to have
your feet on the ground now.

It's the suit and the glasses,
Mr. stoner, I assure you.

Listen, this is my card.

You call me if you think
of something, okay?

Okay.

By the way, who
handled your complaint?

Who'd you talk to downtown?

Um, sergeant Romney.

But you could speak to
Alan Conti at paradise.

Why?

I thought you knew.

Stark worked for Conti
in the photo lab.

That's where we met.

Stark took these
about eight months ago.

Yeah?

Was she ever
involved with stark?

No, she was just
sort of complimented

that some guy from pictorial

wanted to shoot
some film on her.

I'm sure he came on like
some hotshot photographer.

Here she was, just a few months
on the job as a secretary.

So now he took
some pictures of her,

and you showed 'em to Trainor.

That's right.

And the rest is history.

We run a big campaign
about how she

was discovered right
in our own typing pool.

She goes straight to the top.

Of course, the guy who
really discovered her

is left out in the cold when.

Well, when Richard starts
taking an interest in her.

Was that when
stark began following her?

No, he just started
bugging her at first,

which is why Richard
finally fired him.

That's what flipped him out.

I mean he broke in here and
stole the pictures he'd taken,

which were technically ours.

Tried to sell 'em to
some gossip sheet,

There he is.

So why wasn't he
arrested for stealing the film?

To keep it all from being
dragged out in court, I guess.

What about her?

That's a good question.

What do you mean?

Well it looked as though
they would be an item.

You'd expect Richard to be
all over a girl like this.

Then poof, next thing we
know, Cassie's left town.

There's this dark cloud
hanging over the villa.

Well, what happened,
the thing with stark?

I don't know.

About the only thing I
can tell you for sure

about Cassie Bascomb is,
don't fall in love with her.

I lied to you.

Hmm.

Can you sit down?

It wasn't that I lied exactly.

It's just that I didn't
tell you the whole story.

Goon.

You see, I knew
Albert stark, and I,

I let him take some
pictures of me.

I know, I talked to
Alan Conti about it.

I wasn't using stark.

In fact, everyone
said he was using me.

He claimed to be my manager.

He wanted more money, he...

And he fell in love with you.

Not really.

He fell in love with what,
the makeup, the measurements.

Is that what
happened with Trainor?

Nothing happened
with Richard Trainor.

I'm sorry, it's my job, I
have to ask these questions.

I know, it's just that
everybody assumes the worst.

Really makes me crazy sometimes.

Anyway, how's the job
going, any breakthroughs?

Not really.

Guess it's not like
in the movies, huh?

A list of suspects, a hunch
in the middle of the night.

Boy, I wish.

Excuse me.

Homicide, stoner.

Oh, hi, honey.

That much?

Well, wait till I get home.

We'll talk about it when
I get home, all right.

Yeah, I'll see
you soon, bye-bye.

Sorry.

Well, so much for
my big confession.

I'll let you go now.

Thanks for coming by.

And don't think I assume
the worst about you.

I know.

Good-bye, detective stoner.

Good-bye.

Oh, don't work too hard.

Well, here we are.

My room's next door.

Where's your father
going to sleep?

In the living room.

How old are you, miss Hernandez?

Dad.

I'm 31, Mr. English.

And your a police officer,
so let me ask you a question.

What do you think of young
women who pose naked for money?

Dad, stop it.

No, I want to hear the answer.

What about it, miss Hernandez?

It depends on the magazine.

Depends on the magazine.

It's all pornography,
and you know it.

Daddy, stop it!

I'm sorry.

Why do you stay here?

He needs me.

Hey, Montana, right here.

Let me see you go out.

Back, keeping back.

Long, come on, go on!

Run!

Sorry, Mrs. Swanton.

Dan!

You're wanted on the phone.

Okay.

[T's Rose.

,

And what's happening is that
I want off this case Dan.

Oh, Rose, don't get excited.

I am not excited, I'm depressed.

This whole house, this
whole case is depressing.

All right, talk to me, Rose.

Look, Heather's father is
a real dark character, okay?

And there's like religious
literature all over the place,

and I'm a nice catholic
girl guarding a pinup.

Well, just hang
in there, will you, please?

Dan, I don't want
to go to this party.

What party?

Tomorrow night at
the villa, remember?

I thought that was canceled.

They couldn't.

They've got people flying
in from Europe and all over.

Anyway, Heather
wants to go shopping,

get a manicure and everything.

Yeah, so?

So what am I supposed
to wear to an orgy?

It's not an orgy.

Go out, buy yourself a
dress, get a nice new hairdo,

and go to the party
and enjoy yourself

because in your heart, I
know you're gonna love it.

Speak for yourself, Dan

and put Nancy back on the phone.

Not on your life,
Hernandez, bye.

So what's this about an orgy?

It's not an orgy.

It's a party at
the Trainor villa,

and Rose just doesn't
have a thing to wear.

Wait a minute.

Are you going to this party?

I mean with all these girls
running around the pool?

It's my job, baby.

Where'd you get this, dad?

Uh, a guy at the
magazine gave it to me.

That Cassie Bascomb's a fox.

What do you know about Cassie
Bascomb, you little twerp.

Dan, we got the
pool, the main hall,

and the front gate covered.

Good, stay put, then.

Keep your eye on the girls.

If you lose sight of 'em,

tell a guy in the
area to stay alert.

Detective stoner.

Mm-hmm.

We all appreciate
what you're doing here,

but could you and your men
be a little less obvious?

Yes, all right.

I mean we are trying
to have a party here.

Yes.

Who's that with Heather?

Hernandez?

Is that you, Rose?

No cracks, stoner.

Where do you pack your rod?

In my purse.

Hey, Hernandez, what are
you doing after the orgy?

Excuse me.

Ready?

Okay, here we go.

This is Meredith Macrae.

Moments ago, Richard
Trainor stated that

despite the inflammatory
headlines of the past few days,

he is certain that nothing

is going to mar
tonight's festivities.

The reason for this he says is

because of his total confidence
in the police department.

One need only look around

to see the tight
security measures here.

Oh, this is Nat Couray.

He's gonna be mcing
tonight's festivities.

Let's see if we can
get a word with him.

Nat?

Hello.

Hello.

What are you doing here?

Looking for you.

I thought you were
through with all this?

Selling securities.

I am.

Glass of champagne?

No, I don't drink
on duty, thank you.

I don't suppose you
dance on duty, either.

Hey, Cassie, why don't
you come over here with me?

There's someone I
want you to meet.

Sorry, officer.

That's all right.

You have a nice night.

Thank you.

Detective stoner.

Yes.

Guardian of our
little Babylon here.

Uncovered any clues lately?

Not lately, no.

Oh, don't be coy,
detective stoner.

I understand you think
Albert stark's the killer.

He's just one of many suspects.

Who else is?

Well, how about you?

Interesting.

Why me?

Why not?

Uh, where is Mr. Trainor hiding?

I thought this was his party.

So did he, until
Cassie Bascomb showed up.

Well, well, well,
speak of the devil.

Excuse me.

Oh.

Excuse me, but there's
someone I'd like you to meet.

My fiance.

Sorry.

Fiancé, fiance?

Me?

Why, I'm old enough
to be your father.

You are not.

So, uh, Cleo tells me
you're a party-crasher.

Well, coming from Cleo, I
take that as a real compliment.

Walk me around for a while.

You can walk on duty, can't you?

Sure.

Come on.

The world of paradise.

It's so bizarre.

It must seem strange to you.

Aside from the girls, the food,

and all the Ferrari's out front?

There he goes again.

He is such a jerk.

I swear the only reason
he's still around

is because he owes
Richard some money.

Oh, he's a compulsive gambler.

He wrote a fortune in ious at
the club in Paris last year.

There were also some, uh,
bad business deals, I think.

What kind?

Oh, I don't know.

All I know is that
Richard owns his contract

for about the next ten years.

So he goes around
mauling all the girls,

hoping Richard will kick
him out of the kingdom.

At least, that's my theory.

I would think mauling would come

with the territory around here.

Yeah?

Well, what's sad is the guys
you like never do the mauling.

Well, if they did that,
you wouldn't like 'em, right?

Don't get in the pool yet.

Just get near the pool.

Come on, girls.

The guys can come,
too, that's all right.

This is water volleyball,
anybody play it?

This is the volleyball,
that's the water.

We need teams.

Let's have the
blondes down here,

the real blondes over here.

Jenny, are you a real blonde?

Get a suit, we need you.

Cassie, what about you?

You're a blonde, come
on, on the blonde team.

What about you?

Can you play volleyball on duty?

It gets my gun wet.

What, do I got spinach
on my tooth or what?

I like you.

I consider that a
compliment, Cassie.

Well, you are
married, aren't you?

Yes, I am.

What if I told you I don't care?

I'd have to tell you I do.

Well I guess it's time
for a little volleyball.

Thanks for the walk, Dan.

You're welcome.

Come on, Cassie,
get your suit on.

Cassie!

That's it.

Pick up some water, will you?

Just splash it for
me a little bit.

Give me the wet look.

That's a great outfit.

I love that, it's fetching.

Who turned out the lights?

Check the lights.

We lost the lights,
keep your eyes open.

Gail?

Where's Gail?

Give me a hand.

Is she dead?

Somebody help him.

Is she still breathing?

Seal off the area.

Give me some towels.

Get a blanket, somebody.

Towels, blankets.

The towel's right here.

We got you.

No, because after
the lights went out,

it was impossible
to see anything.

Dan, here's another one.

The police were certainly

in evidence
throughout the party.

Yes, they were, but if
it hadn't been for them,

especially for detective stoner,

Gail probably would
have been dead.

Thank you, Cassie.

Gail keating is currently
listed in good condition

at mission hospital,
but as far as we know,

the police still have
no suspects in the case.

Meredith Macrae reporting.

No suspects.

We've got too many suspects.

We even checked out
Trainor's ex-wife.

Trainor has an ex-wife?

He did.

She died 15 years
ago in a wreck.

So who does that leave?

Well, apart from stark,
there's Nat Couray,

who owes trainor mucho dinero.

Alan Conti cannot account for
his whereabouts at the time.

And, uh, Cleo banks, trainor
left standing at the altar.

But you said that was years ago.

Yeah, but Cassie says
she's still bitter.

And, of course, there's
trainor himself.

Well, how do you figure that?

I don't know.

Just something about the guy.

Like guilt.

Was everybody in
the pool last night?

Yeah, everybody but, uh, Cleo.

She was in the spa, alone.

What about Cassie Bascomb?

What about her?

You said there was something
between her and trainor.

Yeah, well, I guess I was wrong.

What's she like?

Cassie?

She's all right.

A little confused.

Well, I think your
son's in love with her.

Why do you say that?

Well, I found this magazine

that you brought
home under his bed.

That ain't love,
babe, that's hormones.

Yeah, stoner.

Hey, moon, how you doing?

Was anything taken?

Nothing, as far as I can tell.

What time did you get back?

About one, I guess.

Well, I want
all your locks changed.

Until we find this guy,

I'm gonna have someone outside

guarding you around the clock.

You?

You sure nothing's missing?

Pretty sure.

My jewelry's still here, stereo.

Well, it's not the stereo
he's after, Cass, it's you.

I'd check your personal things,

records, books, things like...

Dan, just got a
current on Albert stark.

He lives in echo park.

Let's go get him.

I gotta go.

There's two guys posted outside.

Don't leave home without them.

Dan, you hungry?

So, so.

Try one these, man.

Pizza nuggets.

No, I'm trying to clean
out my body, eat good stuff.

A little chicken, a
little fish, no red meat.

Lot's of vegetables, steamed.

Well, these are real good.

You oughta try one.

Smells good.

Mm-hmm.

I always have them
for breakfast.

Oh, what the hell.

One can't hurt, right?

Is that stark?

Stark naked.

What's he got in his hand?

Big Manila envelope.

Let's go.

Al, it's me, open up.

Who is it?

It's me from the photo lab.

I've got some good news for ya.

I lied, Al.

Open up, police.

Ambition is to be
successful, powerful,

and live in beautiful
surroundings with people I love.

We also found a phony
press pass dated the 17th,

the night that Pam
Cummings was killed.

And a receipt from a copy place.

Stark went there
to copy something

according to the
manager, a book.

You missing a book?

No.

Do you think he's the killer?

I don't know.

But he's been at the scene
every time, though, hasn't he?

Yeah, but it doesn't
make any sense.

Why would he attack
Gail and then drive

all the way back here and
tear this place apart?

To warn me that I'm next.

That's what you think.

No, that's what Tony thinks.

I'm gonna have
a very tall drink.

You want one?

Sure.

So why do you want to know?

I was just curious is all.

I mean what goes on in your
head when you're doing it?

You mean, when I'm
posing or afterwards,

when I look at the pictures?

Either way.

Well, first of all,

the session itself
is very professional.

You know, the lights
and the technicians.

And you want to look
good, of course.

And you want to look
seductive, too, right?

Sure.

Every woman wants to be
seductive at the right time.

With the right man.

So what happens now?

With the case, you mean.

Okay, about the case.

Uh, you make me
nervous, you know?

Sorry.

The case.

What's the next move?

A celebrity field day.

What?

Games, celebrity games,
that kind of thing.

Tony thought it would bring
stark out of his hole.

Oh.

What do you think?

Well, I think he's
interested in you.

Well, then I'll be there.

No, you won't.

So you really do care.

Of course I care.

I mean, oh, don't get
the wrong idea now.

What's that?

I mean, it's, uh...

What?

Come on.

I'll think of something.

Like?

I gotta go.

You could lie.

I've never
been very good at that.

Night, Cass.

I think we are
ready for a great afternoon

here at the sixth annual
paradise sports festival.

What do you say, gang?

Can you believe
these lovely ladies?

Now these are my chains,
that I lent them,

my personal and I
like to say that.

My car chains is what I meant.

I'm very proud of them.

I'm still waiting to give one

of these ladies some first aid.

It doesn't matter,
I'm not picky.

This is the 100 yard relay.

Pink leads it at the wall now.

The blue team takes the lead.

Look at that teamwork.

Forget the Lakers,
give me these angels.

Blue team ties it
with a victory, ouch.

Up and over.

I've tried to get my wife
to do this right here.

No chance of that, none at all.

The blue angels' specialty

is definitely the
horizontal bars.

And look at Alicia
go, beautiful!

The blue angels now with a slim,

and I mean slim five-point lead

as we prepare for the stretch.

Ladies, stretch those muscles.

Our final relay
is coming up next.

Okay, I'm gonna try it now.

All right, hello.

Uh, we finally had
to draw straws.

So, uh, anyway, your master
of ceremonies for the day,

who's going to
have his hands full

keeping his eye on
the finish line,

Mr. entertainment
himself, Nat Couray.

Thank you very much.

We gotta welcome
all the TV crews.

All right, this is the wide one,

so give me the whole thing.

All right, let me see it all.

That a girl, that a girl.

Let me see it, all right.

Let me see your best side now.

Good side, good stuff, all
right, stick it out there.

That's it, good.

All right, 1 like it,
that's nice, all right.

Let me see you
with that car now.

See you with that
car, at a girl.

I mean it, Heather.

You hit the dirt at the
first sign of anything.

And don't go into the crowd.

I won't, I won't.

Okay, mom?

All right, ladies,
we're all set.

Now Heather I want you in the
middle Lane in all events.

Keep your eye on
Rose at all times.

What about Cassie?

What about her?

Didn't trainor tell you?

She's taking Gail's place.

She's what?

Not only today, but
in the centerfold.

Where is she?

Best side, that's
it, good, good.

Stick it out, muscles.

That's enough for now, Alan.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm helping out.

No one else would,
and I figured...

Now, wait a minute.

I figured I could use the
extra 20,000, which I can.

What's your idea,
coming out here

and getting undressed
for the magazine?

Was that a moral question,

or are you just concerned
about my safety?

Listen, I don't
know what you're doing

or what role you're playing,

but understand something.

You wait until we
wrap things up here.

And then if you want
to dangle yourself

in front of trainor,
you go right ahead.

It's not trainor, you idiot!

Ladies, this is not exactly

miss America's runway, is it?

But they're heading
for the competition.

Keep your eyes on
what's going on.

Five points for first, three
for second, one for third.

You add 'em up...

Dan, can you come
in for a second?

Stoner.

It looks like we got a problem.

A brown Van just pulled up

above the hill,
above center field.

Can you make out the driver?

No, I can't really make him out.

What do you think?

Okay, girls, let's get set.

Are we all set?

You just tell me when.

Yeah, we're set.

All right, it's
probably nothing.

But, uh, let's be safe
and quiet about this.

Send Smitty up there

and ask politely for
a driver's license.

I got it.

This is a
500-meter tag team race,

five ladies each
running 100 meters.

You never know, we might have

a big surprise here
in our grand finale.

Ladies, please see
the man in gray

for your final instructions.

On your Mark, get set.

Talk to me, moon.

Smitty's pulling
up to him right now,

the guy must see him.

Dan, watch out, the guy's
coming down the hill, watch.

Hey, hey, slow down!

Look out!

Dan, get back!

Out of the way!

This is it, from the whole Van?

That's it.

Except for some burned
negatives and a toolbox.

This guy must be
real sentimental.

Not really, no, he's
not even in there.

I already looked.

So what do you want me to
do with all this stuff?

Why don't you put it
in a box for stoner?

Okay.

Hey, wait a minute.

Heather English is the one
that told me about stark.

You kept your mouth shut.

I was trying to protect Cassie.

Protect her, you're the one

who asked her to
replace Gail keating.

Who told you that?

She did.

What, are you
going to deny that?

Dan, the press
is on the way over.

What I don't understand is why

you didn't put stark against
the wall when you had a chance.

I told you, it would have
been a nightmare for Cassie.

Why a nightmare?

Why?

Well, pictures would
have been smeared

across every newspaper
in the country.

She was already very upset.

How's stark, sergeant?

Have you had a chance
to talk to him yet?

No, not yet, he's unconscious.

Have murder charges
been filed against him.

Not at this time.

Are you saying this
wasn't attempted murder?

I don't know what to call it,

all I can tell you
is he was unarmed.

Come on Dan,

what's your gut
feeling about this guy?

Is he your man or not?

All right.

Uh, what we have
is a peeping Tom.

Now, it happens he
was at the hotel

the night Pam
Cummings was killed.

He also was at Trainor's villa

when Gail keating was attacked.

So as far as I know, we
may have the best witness.

That's all I have to say anyway.

This has to be what the
guy was talking about.

He said he copied a
book or something.

Why take it to the field games?

Maybe it's Cassie Bascomb's.

No, no, I called
her from the office.

And I checked Kara Alexander
and Pam Cummings' photograph,

not to mention Gail and, uh,
Heather and all the others.

You know, this
really is police work.

I ought to be paid for it.

Meantime, I need it now.

Like I said, not much.

Officer Tully,

please report to
the nurses' station.

Officer Tully.

Did it not occur to the
guy it might be a diversion?

What the hell are we doing here?

Yeah.

I'll see you later.

Any witnesses?

No.

Bye, honey.

See you, yeah.

Bye.

I forgot to remind your father

we're not going to
be home tonight.

I'm taking you to camp.

Dan!

The head ICU nurse found him

around seven o'clock
this morning.

Nurse Cody, you're wanted

on the third-floor
nurses' station.

Hi, king.

How you doing?

Sorry, Dan, there's
nothing for us here.

You get that box of
stuff from the Van?

Yeah, I did.

I'll get it.

King.

Got him right here, Tony.

Yeah?

No, it's a washout here, Tony.

King says there's nothing.

Dr. cutler, Dr. frank cutler.

Oh, really?

Is that right, couray, huh?

Yeah, he's under
surveillance, all of them are.

Yeah, sure.

Hey, that's great.

Yeah, okay, bye.

We got us a break.

Got us a break!

Wait a minute.

What happened?

The hotel clerk just found out

about stark's departure
and got scared.

He was lying.

Nat couray rented that room for
Pam Cummings, see you later.

Morning.

I know what you're gonna
say, and it's not my fault.

I thought your guy might
have been the killer.

What are you talking about?

Him across the street?

One of yours, no doubt.

I spot him outside my condo
last night, so I call the guard.

Why didn't you just tell me I
was still under surveillance?

It's just a precaution,
that's all it is.

Right.

Tony wants me to pick
up the hotel clerk.

He wants you to stay with Cassie

till we figure out security.

Okay.

What's this, did stark
escape or something?

He was murdered last night.

Better go.

Yeah.

Take Mr. incognito
over there with you.

Right.

So, you think a hotel clerk
had something to do with this?

No, no, it's couray we're after.

Turns out he rented that room
for Pam Cummings that night,

then followed her up there.

Come on, let's go.

To my place?

Yeah.

This yours?

Yeah.

So what do you want for dinner?

Wanna race for pink slips?

Cassie, open up!

I want to talk to you!

Are you all right?

What'd you take off for?

You think this is
some kind of joke,

some kind of game
we're playing here?

Come on.

You just be quiet, get up.

Yeah, well, what was he
doing at Cassie Bascomb's?

Waiting for Dan.

He says he called here
first, but Dan was out.

Why didn't he just
call the broker?

He did, but the receptionist
told him Cassie had left.

That part's been confirmed
by the receptionist.

What's Dan say to all this?

That's garbage.

You know it, I know it.

Why else would I come, huh?

Please, you tell me, tell me.

I don't want to
interrupt anything here.

So why didn't you just
wait outside for Cassie?

All you had to do
was ring her buzzer.

Because some dame
with a poodle came up

and asked for my autograph.

Look, I just wanted
to see you privately.

I didn't want to sign autographs
for people in the street.

So a guy, he pulled
into the garage,

and I pulled in behind him
and what's wrong with that?

So what'd you do?

You bribed him like you
bribed the room clerk, right?

All right, I did that, I
admit it, that was wrong.

But I didn't kill these girls.

I mean why?

Because you owed trainor
your soul for five years.

I don't understand,
that's crazy.

How much was it anyway?

I mean, how much did you lose?

Well, it wasn't all
gambling, you know.

Some of it was, um, real
estate deals that went sour.

How much?

I don't wanna...

How much?

Three million dollars.

Three million, three million.

Three million,
what the hell, huh?

So why didn't you tell
the lieutenant here

about your little tryst
with Pam Cummings?

He doesn't like to register

under his own name
because of groupies.

Is that right, groupies?

Oh, groupies, groupies.

So why'd you
register under hers?

Because she wanted it that
way in case her parents called.

So, okay.

So you register under her
name, you give her the key,

and you follow her upstairs.

So then what happens?

No, I didn't follow
her up all the way.

Look, in the first place,

she took the elevator,
I took the back stairs.

I was, I was a little
jumpy because after all,

this was a 19-year-old
kid, right?

So anyways, I crossed the lobby.

She took the elevator and I
went up the back stairwell.

I was, I was
climbing the stairs,

and then I heard something.

But you didn't get a good look

at who came down the stairs?

No, but they saw me.

Either it was the
murderer or Albert stark.

I don't like the
timing on this, Dan.

He goes out because
he hears screams,

and then the real murderer
slips down the stairs.

No, no, no, I got
off the stairway.

I went into the hallway

because I heard someone
coming down the stairs.

So you ran down to the
lobby, overwhelmed with grief,

and you bribed the room clerk.

No, no, listen, I don't
have to take any more of this.

I came in here voluntarily,
without even a lawyer.

Oh, take it easy here.

I'm not gonna say anything more.

Forget it, my lips
are sealed, it's over.

All right, all right.

Escort Mr. Coraggio
back to his cell.

Who?

That's his real name.

Everybody changes their
name in this business

or is that a crime
around here, too?

When you change it from
Italian to French, it is.

Go on, get him out of here.

So what do you think, Dan?

Everybody changes their
names in this business.

What?

Uh, nothing.

See you guys later.

Good morning.

This is Meredith Macrae.

Police today announced
a major break

in the calendar
girl murder case.

Arrested was Nat Couray,
the well-known entertainer

and close friend
of Richard trainor.

Taken into custody last night,

couray refused
comment except to say

that he's innocent of
all charges against him.

Shown here being escorted
to police headquarters

after his arraignment, couray
has apparently admitted

some connection with the
first victim, Pamela Cummings,

who was killed by a fall

from the tenth floor of
the centennial hotel.

Morning, Cass.

You look terrible.

Been up all night with couray.

Well, come on in, I'll
get you some coffee.

No, I can't.

I, uh, just wanted
to say good-bye.

Good-bye?

Just like that?

Well, the da's boys
are mopping up now.

Did couray confess?

No, not yet, but he will.

So this is it, huh?

Sorry it couldn't
have been different.

Me, too.

I understand Gail's back.

They're gonna shoot her centerfold
tonight instead of you.

Trainor's always
looking for a prettier,

younger face, isn't he?

Oh, well.

Take care, Cassie.

Dan.

It was never real, was it?

You and me.

No.

No, I don't like these.

Well, maybe.

Yes?

Oh, uh, just a minute.

Detective stoner.

Yes, sergeant.

Congratulations.

I was just saying to
Cleo that you're, uh.

I beg your pardon?

Well now wait a minute.

Gail keating hasn't,
what about her?

I'd like to talk about this

because it, uh, isn't
what it appears to be.

All right, whatever you say.

The garage?

Yes, of course, we'll be there.

Dan, god, you scared me.

Sorry, Rose.

Couray's the killer.

Tony thinks that these new
pictures will prove it.

What pictures?

The guy who cleans out
the county ambulances

has found a photo claim slip
with stark's name on it.

It's dated June 18th, the day
after Pam Cummings was killed.

Now wait a minute,
you saw these pictures?

They're negatives.

But in one of them you can see
the centennial Plaza hotel.

Nancy's blowing
them up right now.

Nancy's what?

I called looking for
you, and she volunteered.

She's worried about you, Dan.

Are you all right?

Couray's not the killer, Rose.

Then who is?

A girl named Julie Wersen.

Wersen?

I know that name.

Yeah, yeah.

It's, uh, the name of Trainor's
ex-wife and his daughter.

He has a daughter?

He claims he didn't
know she was his daughter

when she first came
to work for him.

Didn't know until she
was angel of the year.

Cassie?

People change their names.

Dan, are you sure about this?

She killed stark 'cause he knew,

and she was afraid he was
going to blackmail her.

Oh, god, Dan.

What?

When I couldn't find
you, I called Cassie.

She knows about the negatives,
Dan, and that Nancy's alone.

Oh, no, Rose, no.

This better be you, Daniel.

Hello.

Hello?

Cassie.

It's over.

All I ever wanted was a father.

But you were never there.

It's okay, baby,
it's over, it's over.

Nan says you caught
a 14-inch rainbow.

Yeah, it was good fishing, Tony.

How you feeling?

Fine, thanks.

Have a good vacation up there?

Terrific vacation,
thanks for asking.

Oh, you heard about
Heather English, didn't you?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I think she'll
make a hell of a cop.

Yeah, I think you're right.

Yeah, listen, uh.

I got the psychiatric report.

Oh, yeah?

Was I right?

Hmm?

Oh!

Yeah, pretty much.

This thing at the
racetrack is bugging me.

You read about that?

Yeah, Tony.

We were talking about the
psychiatric report on Cassie.

Oh, well, the usual things.

Love-hate thing with
her father and, uh,

I mean, this jockey kid
shows up with his neck broken

just after winning
the Piedmont stakes.

The psychiatric report, Tony?

Uh, uh, abandoned when
she was a kid, you know,

then rejected again
when trainor shows up

and finds out who she is.

It's a hell of a thing.

You know what's even weirder?

Second place jockey
just got lunched today.

Is, uh, Cassie's
report in your office?

Oh, yeah, yeah, listen...

I'm gonna go read it.

There's just one thing we
didn't know, though, Dan.

Yeah, Cassie's been
having what they call

these psychotic episodes
ever since she was a kid.

Jockey had more dope
in him than the horse.

I'll bet you anything the
gang's mixed up in this.

Rita can't seem to,
hell of a looker.

Is this the
psychiatric report here?

Old man owns more
of the republics

down in central America.

Get the name of the horse, Dan.

I don't wanna
talk international politics...

Name of the
horse is Satan's curse.

Tony.

How in the hell does a jockey...

Hello!

Ride a horse
named Satan's curse?

Tony.
