2 30 a .m the city sleeps but my work day has just begun so much terror

so little time for those of you viewing for the first time welcome it's been a

very productive week so far let's see what fate has in

store for us tonight

You hate to see this kind of carelessness.

All the mail to a single female resident.

Let's see who is home, Sean.

Ah, the lady of the manor slumbers fitfully.

I think we should capture this for posterity.

Don't you?

The anticipation is almost as exciting as the act itself.

Dispatch, just got a disturbance call. 300 block 4.

Sounds like it might be our prowler.

All right, tell the unit to stay put. We're on the move.

Hey, a couple in the adjacent unit heard a scream that came out.

Tell the window.

All right.

Station your men at the front and at the back.

If it's our guy.

It's him. Go.

I'll be on my good side.

Well, I'll tell you one damn thing. He's getting on my bad side, this bastard.

No visual ID, way too dark. The guy had his weird mask on, just like before.

No sexual assault, but he got her cash, valuables, jewelry. Let me check with

the unis.

Not to mention her dignity.

I think he left something behind.

What? I don't see any ashtrays around, do you?

Well, so?

18 pair of gold. Evan?

Yeah. I think this belongs to her.

So why would he leave it behind?

Maybe he wanted us to find it. Canvas the neighborhood. Outside of a couple of

dogs barking, we got squat.

Except we got a guy who's getting more violent each time out. That's not

promising. Yeah, he's gonna kill eventually.

Why do you say that?

Well, it's like all bad behavior, Bubba.

Gotta keep up the mistakes to get the fame high.

And Nash, she's never seen it before.

Think it belongs to him?

He wouldn't have left it here if he didn't want us to find it.

Arrogant bastard.

Like it's calling cards.

You tell the lab boys I want them to study this like they're looking for a

for cancer.

How long have you been seeing this dame?

About a month now, ever since I've been on this ballroom dancing kick.

And why is it I've never met her?

Well, I can't introduce you to every woman I tangle with.

Does she have a name?

Beverly. She's a...

A waitress at a restaurant called Polynesian Inn in the Sunset.

I want you guys to meet her tonight.

Tonight?

I've already made the reservations. You're going to love it.

It's an authentic Hawaiian luau. You know, all the food's cooked over heated

lava rock.

Unbelievable. Whatever happened to advance notice?

What could that do? You're always working.

You can't argue with that.

What do you say, Joe? You in?

I don't know, man. I got J .J.

Hey, is J .J. back in town?

Yeah, he's filling up for Pepe at the detective agency.

Now he's temping for our temp.

Hey, bring J .J. along.

It's a little while. The more people, the better.

Here we are.

And, uh, wish me luck. We're performing in front of the class for the first

time.

Well, good luck, Nick.

don't need a lift home no that's gonna drop me off all right see you tonight

ballroom dancing huh yeah well it's better than scuba diving

hey jj hey dad uh what's up

with the phone son i don't know man this whole voicemail thing is really screwy

you know first it tells me i have six messages and then when i try to check

messages i get this little stressed -out voice that says, uh, message deleted.

Well, didn't Pepe leave you any instructions?

I did, but they were very linear.

Oh. Uh, sending a postcard from Greece.

Uh, son, you've got the machine on forward.

All I tried to do was call my friend Eugene from Eugene. Maybe the system got

confused. Who knows how many cases we might have missed.

worry about it. I mean, if it's important, they'll call back, right?

Well, not new cases, son.

We had an antique pen and pencil set there. What happened to it?

I don't remember seeing one.

Thanks. I'm done with this.

Oh, Dr. Hurwitz. Yeah, Dr.

Hurwitz. He shares the office next door.

Oh, hi. I'm very glad to meet you. Welcome to the building.

JJ tells me you and your partner are...

Private detectives? Yes, we are.

I just hung out the signal.

Seems a little unusual in a building full of psychiatrists.

Yeah, well, maybe if you have a client that loses his mind, we can help him

it.

Show him how to get on the psychopath.

So, how long have you been practicing?

Oh, 20 years.

I've almost got it perfect.

There you are, Brent.

The waiting room was crowded.

Everyone was staring holes in me. I'm Dr.

Shulman. I have the practice next door.

Joe Dominguez, Bridges and Dominguez.

This belong to anybody here?

Is that what you were looking for? Yeah, yeah. Yes, it is. Thank you very much.

Brent, did you want to say anything to these people?

Yeah, that's, uh, it's okay.

My apologies.

Welcome to the building.

Hey, boss.

Good morning.

Wait a second.

This has recently been filled.

Have the lab boys dust the inside. If he filled it, Brent will be all over it.

Genius. Good morning.

Good morning, gentlemen. Are we making our own hours now? Is that the deal?

Well, Harv had this domestic situation.

I don't want to hear about it. Oh, you are going to want to hear about this.

Bet I won't. What do you mind calling me up this morning and suggesting that I

take a look at this?

Charlotte's newsroom. Her name's Charlotte Ford. They call her the female

Drudge. Is that a compliment?

Apparently, she did a marvelous investigative piece on Supervisor

about six months ago and broke that whole graph story.

Charming. Well, actually, she's a pain in the ass, but check this out.

All the math to a single female result.

I'm already not happy.

Hold on, man. It gets worse.

I think we should capture this from posterity.

Don't you find her and get her ass and every foot of film she's got in here in

30 minutes. The warrants on the way and so am I.

Are you following me?

I got a call from the auto theft department. They want me back to run the

Congratulations.

Why don't you look happy?

Because I don't know if I want to go back.

I love the SIU.

Is that crazy?

No.

But, you know, these things aren't usually voluntary.

I know, but I want to stay here.

You know, I think I still have a lot to learn. I think it would be better for me

in the long run.

I'm flattered.

Could you help me?

I mean, is there somebody that you could call?

There probably is.

But I'm not going to make any promises.

I understand.

Thanks.

I want to know how you got a hold of those tapes, and who gave them to you.

You know, I tried to call the police about them, and they never called me

so I published them on the Internet, where everyone could see them.

That's not even close to an answer to the question I just asked.

What was the question?

The question was, how'd you get the tapes?

Somebody told me to pick them up, so I did.

Ms. Ford.

Presently, this is an interview.

But you can't imagine how quickly it can become an interrogation.

Are you threatening to arrest me?

I'm asking you direct questions.

I expect direct answers.

You know, you're withholding evidence from us that should have been turned

to us.

Ever heard of freedom of the press?

Ever heard of obstruction of justice?

Those tapes are my property. Not anymore.

You're not going to let me go unless I agree to help you.

Are you?

Okay. So, how did he contact you?

Email. Said he was a prowler, he named a drop point, and he said to come alone.

So why didn't you contact the police then?

He said to come alone.

All right.

I want to know where the drop point is.

The next time he calls you, you're going to call me.

You better put your home phone number on the back. Last time he contacted me,

three in the morning.

Wouldn't want to be accused of not cooperating or anything.

No, you wouldn't, would you?

Just wondering when you're going to get a job, son.

I have a job, Dad.

I mean, a real job, you know, with benefits.

Trooming is a real job. I mean, how much more real can you get than actually

picking food you can eat?

How can you even compare that to a stockbroker who trades things on a

that have no tangible existence to anyone?

Ever. I mean, how existential is that?

You sure you're picking these mushrooms, not doing them?

Boys, boys, we came here to have a good time.

Here you are.

Loamy, loamy.

Side of poi.

What's that?

Poi. It's a carbohydrate.

It's not really my thing. Do you want it?

That would be a lava rock, Bubba.

Are you okay?

I think I did something to my teeth.

I'll get you some water.

Can you have the manager step over here, please?

Sure.

Is there a problem here?

Yeah, there is a problem. My son digged down into a lava rock.

I mean, I didn't spend $8 ,700 on braces for him to crack his tooth on a lava

rock in a restaurant, you know what I mean?

I'm sorry, big time.

It's something you've got to watch out for if you eat food like this.

Sometimes the lava rock explodes when they are heated, and little pieces flow

through the netting.

We're going to take that off your bill, huh?

Yeah.

I'll take that rock back if you don't mind.

You want something to drink that doesn't have rum or an umbrella in it? Sure,

I'll have what you're having.

Are you expecting someone?

Not that I can remember.

You realize it's the condemned building?

I'm aware.

Did you just drop by to tell me that? I called first six times already.

Is the blinking light on your answer?

Oh, you're that reporter lady who does those stories on the Internet. I read

about you. Oh, really? On the Internet?

No, in the newspaper.

Oh. Could I interrupt with a question?

Shoot. What are you doing here?

New tape.

Left it outside my apartment an hour ago.

I'm going to pass on that drink, son.

Catch you in my chair.

Good night, Charlotte.

See ya. Good night, Nick.

Good night, darling.

Got any popcorn?

I'm glad to see you take this so seriously.

Gallows humor.

Have a seat. Trick of the trade.

Promises of more mayhem.

Tell the police they are powerless.

Tell the public they must fear me.

Tell the world they must respect me. And tell SIU to stop looking for me. Oh, my

God, that's me.

They won't catch me until I want to be caught.

That means you, Inspector Bridges.

Well, the story's getting more interesting by the minute.

Yeah, but it's not one you're going to write.

Harv, meet me at the SIU and bring some coffee.

It's going to be a long night. Okay, Crime Stoppers.

Time for a feature presentation.

Got a picture of this guy?

Yes and no.

That's it?

Snaps out of his back?

Arv, make it bigger and clean up the image a bit.

All right.

Well, all right.

Now we know our prowler is a white male.

Dark brown hair.

Judging from that door jam there, I'm going to say he's about 6 '4". Maybe

190.

Nice work, Harvey.

At least we know it's not one of my relatives.

One more thing. Look what we found on the end leader.

Looks like our friend taped over an old recording.

Hello.

Well, let's find out who that actress is and why our prowler has a tape of her

audition. How are we going to find her?

I'm guessing that's an adult film. Find out who does the casting around town.

How come he gets all the fun stuff?

Harvey, you have my admiration and love. Now go home and get some sleep. Bless

you. Nash, you were right.

The lab got a print off the inside of that lighter.

Did we get a name?

That's the bad news.

The print didn't match anybody in our system.

All right.

Run it to the federal and state agencies.

This guy's too much of a wingnut not to have done something wrong sometime,

somewhere. I'll start with D .C. and work west.

All righty then.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Are you aware of the fact that your dog's peeing on my paper?

No. Well, that seems odd to me because he's on a leash and he manages to hit

same spot every morning just like clockwork. You got it.

Exhibit A, a great big pee stain.

Exhibit B, a great big paw print.

You ought to know I'm a police officer.

Well, then you should know that there are laws against harassment.

I'm harassing you?

Let's go, King.

Bridges and Dominguez.

Uh, no, Pepe's on vacation.

You want to give me your extra tickets to the gay rodeo?

You know, I don't really care about men and chaps one way or the other, to tell

you the truth.

Yeah.

Yeah. Uh, listen, I gotta run.

Okay, I'll tell him. Thank you.

Uh, how'd it go, son? Oh, not so good.

The dentist said I chipped my tooth, and there's definitely some kind of fissure

running through it.

Those the x -rays?

Yeah.

I heard... Oh, good. This looks serious.

Yeah, it hurts when I eat anything cold, too. Oh, good, good.

Why is that good, Dad?

Son, you see this folder?

This folder contains your financial future.

What, a tax rate technician?

No, son.

We've gone to a dentist, and now we're going to see a lawyer.

My, the word has gotten out.

Nobody leaves their doors and windows open anymore.

But I do so love a challenge.

Nash, man, I got an idea on our voluptuous video vixen. Her name's Candy

Last place to audition was Dogs in Heat Video.

Go have a chat.

With pleasure.

So, should I thank you now?

For what?

I just got a call from the auto theft department. They said I could stay at

SIU. Oh, yeah.

Well, they weren't too happy about it, but I got a few cards to play if I need

them. Oh, you won't be sorry, Nash.

I'll make you proud.

You already have.

Well, Nick paid for the meal.

Do you have a receipt?

Right in my wallet.

I'll need that.

And what about the waitress?

Did you get her name?

I'd rather not drag her into this.

Her testimony is important.

I want to front load this with as much evidence as possible to scare them into

settlement. Otherwise, we start down the road to trial and this could go on for

years.

Just how serious is your thing with her, Nick?

She suggested we schedule some private dance time, not at the studio, if you

catch my drift.

You have a personal involvement with the woman?

That's not good.

Well, he'll lay off seeing her for a little while. I mean, just till we

the case.

Right, Nick?

Nick. All right, I'll take one for the team. That's just until the settlement's

reached. Good.

Now let's talk damages.

We're looking for at least six figures.

Okay, all right. Well, plus dental bills, you know, and J .J. has a career

mushroom picker, you know. Oh, I wouldn't exactly call it a career, Dad.

That's what you do for a living, right?

That's a career.

If J .J.'s going to have to hang around San Francisco to get his crown done,

he's going to miss prime mushroom season.

We're talking lost wages, too.

That's not even mentioning the emotional pain and suffering claims. I don't even

know if I want to pick mushrooms anymore.

Maybe this is a sign.

Maybe my fungi journey is over.

What'd you get?

Hopefully nothing contagious, but I got a name on our shutterbug, Ricky Allen

Klinsman. All right, run in through CII, FBI, NCIC, all of them. See if you can

match his prints to the ones on our lighter.

You got it.

Excuse me.

Excuse me?

Sorry, my cell battery went dead.

Local calls are 35 cents, but you can owe it to me. Now, could you get out of

chair? But I was here under protective custody.

That doesn't mean you can snoop for goop at my desk. Now, be... Don't worry.

It wasn't in your drawer.

Here, let me buy you a cup of bad coffee.

On the fan tail.

Uh, who's the perp?

Oh, this plant's name is King.

Its owner left it unleashed in front of my house. It barks at everything that

moves when it's not finding time to dig up my backyard.

Well, we don't need another mascot around here. We got you.

I'll just leave it in lock up until I can get animal control over here. Make

sure he doesn't eat up all that expensive furniture back there. Hey,

got a line on Klinsman. Seems that he was arrested in Chicago four years ago

a string of B &E.

Did he serve?

Not a day. Charges were dropped. Insufficient evidence.

You got a match on the prince, though, huh? I sure did. His last job was as a

security guard. They had his prince. He's our guy.

Did you get a current from DMV?

I sure did.

Third and Army.

All right, we're back in the boat.

Let's go for a ride. Where are we going?

I'm a prowler for a prowler.

Grab Harvey and meet us there, Michelle.

Let's go.

Nice neighborhood.

We're teaming King now.

All right.

The guy's in Unit 114.

Evan, take the back. Harvey, take the starboard.

Michelle, grab the port.

Hey, isn't that our guy?

Yes, it is.

Captain, freeze!

That's FPD!

I hate this part.

How the hell could he have wrote to you without making any waves?

Damn good question.

Tell me you got him.

He didn't get by me.

Oh, this is spooky.

He's got another way out of here. We just don't know about it yet.

Yeah.

Okay, um, try this.

Uh, Nash, thanks for looking out for me. You're the greatest.

With love, Michelle.

Who else?

Uh, when is he going to get this?

Okay. Oh, no, no, he's not my boyfriend. He's my boss.

Thank you.

Uh, Michelle Chan.

Hey, Jack, what's up?

Are you sure?

Okay, I'll be right there.

Got it, thanks.

Nash, can I take an hour? I've got a plumbing problem. Water's leaking

the apartment downstairs.

Go, I'll call you if anything pops.

Well, I don't know whether I should be flattered or annoyed.

You know, we found some rather interesting newspaper articles in our

apartment.

Oh, by the way, his name is Ricky Allen Kinsman.

Ring a bell?

No, why would it?

Well, the two of you lived in Chicago at the same time five years ago.

But had two million other people.

But he was a fan of yours.

Am I under suspicion here? Not if you can convince me that you're not involved

with this Klinsman.

Oh, come on.

And I thought you were different.

Let me pitch you a story.

Two people, both run out of town.

Shamed, humiliated.

One, a reporter, uses her inside track.

on a major crime spree to rebuild her career.

You're wrong.

Not according to the Chicago Sun -Times.

They caught me in a minor error and they turned it into a major political witch

hunt. Show me one reporter who hasn't combined a fact or distilled a timeline

clarify a story.

I think it was a little more than that.

Look, I got caught fabricating a story for one of my articles.

My career was destroyed, and I am trying really hard to rebuild it inch by inch,

bit by bit, okay?

I am not involved with this creep.

Did you ever do a story on a security guard who was accused of a string of

robberies on the south side of Chicago?

Sounds vaguely familiar. I don't know why.

That security guard was Ricky Allen Clinton.

You may be involved with him whether you want to be or not.

I'm sorry.

Hello?

Is this Charlotte?

Yes.

Let me talk to him.

It's for you.

Nash.

Nice to finally meet you, Bridget.

Well, we haven't met yet, Bubba. And when we do, it won't be nice.

I can't wait.

Since you've joined the game, the rules have changed.

Stakes have been upped.

Well, before you make any more mistakes, why don't you just come on down and

turn yourself in?

I guess it's gotten too exciting.

You know what a thrill it is, having millions of people going to bed at night

thinking about you.

Gee, Mom and Dad must be very proud.

They will be.

When they see my big finish.

In fact, you'll be getting a special preview.

Sort of, uh...

snuff film somebody that you know that you can't protect no matter how close

is to you right now you

haven't killed anybody so don't cross that line i want you to stop me

when you get it that's what's gonna make me so famous

Do you have anyone you can stay with for the next few days?

Yeah, all right.

I could get back to him.

I think it's a possibility.

Ronnie? Yes, sir?

Put a uni team on Charlotte.

Don't go home.

Harvey, Devin.

One eyes and ears on Charlotte Ford's place 24 -7 till we catch this bastard.

Coordinate with Ronnie.

What's up?

Klinsman is popping his rivet.

Starting to move again.

And soon.

I'm Charlie, huh?

That's what I'm thinking.

The Mingus.

It's the limit.

What time?

I'll be there.

The other side blinked. We've got a settlement call at two o 'clock. I'll be

back by three. Go.

What?

My English must be bad because I couldn't have heard that last figure

Look, is that your offer?

Are you sure you don't want to amend that?

Look, you better add a zero to the end of that, okay?

I will have a news crew out in front of your restaurant in a... Now

you're just insulting me.

What? No, no, no, no. What's he doing?

Hey, man, that was the money guys you were talking to. Don't hang up on them.

Just call them back.

Wait.

Just wait.

El Adio Dominguez?

Uh -huh.

Uh -huh.

Right, and does that include my legal fees?

Yeah.

But then you've got yourself a deal.

I'll expect a check in my office tomorrow by noon.

How much?

$101 ,000.

Yeah!

I take back everything I said about you when you were in the family salsa

business.

Hallelujah, Joe. We're trading money. $100 ,000.

We're rich.

Hold on.

We're rich.

JJ's rich.

We're partners. What about my half?

What?

JJ gets the money. It was his tooth that got damaged, Nick.

I know it was his tooth, but I paid the bill, and it was nice as poi.

Well, I'll pay you for the poi, Nick.

Hey, Nick,

what are you doing?

You got to lose him, damn it.

What are you all fired up about?

I'll tell you what.

Your partner's scaring us out of our settlement.

What? Did I miss something here? What settlement?

$101 ,000.

Seems that's the going price for bad boy these days.

$101 ,000?

Good for him.

One of those crazy schemes finally paid off.

Giving it all to J .J.

Why wouldn't he?

I paid for that meal.

Half that money belongs to me.

Nick, listen to yourself.

You're being ridiculous.

I am not.

Went out of my way for him. Now Beverly didn't.

Won't even return my calls.

Ah, you know her, Nick. She'll come around.

Besides, you don't need that money.

I didn't want it for me. I wanted it for you.

What?

I haven't been a good father to you, Nash.

I mean, I didn't do what other fathers did. I didn't invest.

You have no safety net, and that was my responsibility.

I'll let you in on a little secret, Nick.

I work better without a net.

I always have.

Hey, Hart, you know that dog you have in lockup? He's actually quite sweet.

Oh, are we talking about the same dog?

Yeah, I gave him half of my sandwich for lunch. Why?

Well, first of all, you weren't there, and he looked hungry.

Ronnie was playing frisbee with him out on the fantail. He should have seen it.

That animal is supposed to be in doggy jail, not in a love boat. I got your

note, Leak.

Well, well, Stuart, I've got your dog, where it can't leak on my paper anymore.

Well, this is the guy, huh? Uh -huh. You know, your dog was just running loose,

chasing cars all morning. I almost called animal control, man. He's a very

troubled animal.

Yeah. I noticed that. What do you intend to do about it, Stuart?

Yeah, what do you intend to do about it?

Here.

What is this?

All his earthly belongings.

He's your problem now. I washed my hands of him. You can't do that. I just did.

So, Harv, have you ever even owned a dog?

No. I mean, do you like dogs?

Me, I'm more of a cat guy myself.

I'm not even going there.

Well, you know, you could call animal control.

Yeah, and then I'll probably put him to sleep.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's our guy.

Let's go.

It's every day. Freeze.

All right, Klinsman, hand over the tape.

My name's not Klinsman.

You still talking to me?

Man, don't be lame. I never wanted that money in the first place.

I bet J .J.'s happy, though, huh?

Oh, yeah.

He's thinking of going to Prague.

Prague.

Apparently, fabulous mushrooms there in the peak season.

Who's this guy?

Darren McKee resides in the 2700 Black of Folsom.

Clisman paid him 50 bucks to drop us off at Charlotte's. I get to keep the

money, right?

You earned it, Bubba.

Did he give you those clothes, too?

Yeah.

to watch a movie? No, Darren, we are.

You're going to go with this nice officer, Ronnie, here and give him a

statement. Tell him everything you know about the guy.

I'm throwing in everything for this.

I'm throwing in the kitchen sink.

Isn't that Michelle's place?

Come on, let's go.

to retire tell

yalla

I got it.

Go!

You're gonna have -

She's dead, man.

That's right, Nash.

It's too late.

This is between you and me now.

Stay here.

Just in case he gets past me.

Gensman, I'm going to give you the chance you didn't give her.

Oh, well.

Didn't get everything I wanted.

But I got enough.

Enough of what?

Material. For the TV interviews, my own web page, book deal.

Prowler, Stock City, Doc's Cop.

Kills beautiful young detective.

Just because I'm going to jail doesn't mean I won't be famous.

She was a nice girl.

Very polite.

Please don't kill me.

Please don't kill me.

Please don't kill me.

She begged for her life.

You got me, Inspector.

You're not going to jail.

You're going to hell.

child was murdered.
