Strangled, huh? More like garrotted. All
three of these victims served as jurors

at the trial of Louis McMahon.

Questioning a suspect.

Louie can't talk.

Guilty. Shall we divide and conquer?

What's the main?

We're going to defend it.

Works for me.

Bumble Jacks, Bumble Jacks, taste like a
blue rainbow. Bumble Jacks, Bumble

Jacks, gives you that special glow.

Bumble Jacks, Bumble Jacks, tastes

like a blue rainbow.

Hey, go home already. You look dead.

The Bubble Jack's account will survive
another night without a lyric.

I don't think anything can survive.

Tastes like a blue rainbow.

Well, that's about the time to go home
and get some sleep.

Hey, come on. Your boyfriend's waiting
for you.

Hey, he's probably on his way up here
right now with a shotgun.

Just waiting to catch him.

David has seen what you look like, Ted.

He would never worry about that.

See, it's him.

Hey, don't tell him I'm here.

Garner Ad Agency.

Loretta Johnson speaking.

Guilty.

What? Guilty.

Who is it?

Who was that?

I don't know. Some weirdo, I guess.

He was doing some heavy breathing and
then he said, guilty.

It's a weird thing to say. Probably some
prank caller. You know, some kid that's

just dialing numbers.

Come on, let me walk you down to your
car.

Are you okay, Loretta?

I'll be fine as soon as I get home.

Look, why don't you give me a call when
you get home?

I'll feel better.

David will be waiting for me.

I'll be okay.

Sure.

District. We have a silent neighborhood
watch report.

Prowler on Northridge Street. See the
woman.

Northridge.

At the bar.

Hunter, come in.

Hunter, come in.

Hunter, are you there?

Hunter, come in.

Any unit at 211 silent on 8th place,
shut fire.

That's not too far.

Yeah, this is L56.

I'm at the corner of Colfax and Burbank
Boulevard. I can respond.

We have three closer units in motion.
One already there. Do not respond.

The last stamp has to come in.

Sorry, McCall. What do you got? Listen
to the radio.

Hunter, I've been sitting here on this
greasy park bench. I am bored out of my

mind, and you're listening to the radio.

Somebody's got to be listening to
McCall's radio.

McCall, we're on assignment here,
remember? We're supposed to clean out

muggers. Look, McCall, you were the
one... Am I in your way?

Look, McCall, you were the one coming
out of the ladies' room when the captain

was looking to give his diamond away.

Yeah, well, don't forget, buddy, we're
in this together.

Just cover our butts so I can get
something to run on, huh? So you can get

something, and you'll leave me out of
it. I wouldn't do that to you, McCall.

All units, we have a 187 at 18534 Meston
Drive.

Available units, respond.

I got one, McCall.

Wait a minute, Hunter, what are you
doing? You just hanged up, huh? Be right

back. Well, where are you going?

This is L56. I'm responding to that.

187 at 18534 Medicine Drive. Out. I'm
rolling.

Hunter, will you pick up the volume
talking, please?

Guy must have used some kind of a
rotting rope.

Any suspects?

Well, they took a boyfriend down to the
station when he was in the house.

Claimed he came out and found the body
this morning.

His story is pretty inconsistent.

Right now, he's the prime suspect.

Anybody know his keys?

Hunter, get away from that car.

You're supposed to be in the park with
your partner. But, Captain, I was going

to lunch when the call came in. I
understand they arrested the boyfriend.

Yeah, well, a complete report will be in
the morning newspaper.

You're supposed to be in the park
catching muggers.

Well, the park's practically clean.

Yeah, I love that word, practically.

Captain, can't McCall and I kind of
like, you know... Look, you and McCall

already on a case, all right?

I want you to go back to the park, and I
don't want to see you again. I'll have

you checking until it's completely
cleaned up. Not practically, but

cleaned up. Look, Captain, McCall and I
are ready to take this homicide case.

Besides, the park is completely under
control.

Hunter, get over here. I think we got
one.

Brick in there?

the right to remain silent.

If you give up that right to remain
silent, anything you say can and will be

used against you in a court of law.

She was strangled, huh? More like
garrotted.

Oh, great.

They arrested her boyfriend, but I don't
think it was him.

She was jumped while she was trying to
lock her car. The key was bent over to

the right.

So?

So, which means that when she was
jumped, she was pulled out toward the

Now, if the boyfriend did it, he would
have come from the house, jumped her,

pulled her back toward the house. The
key would have been bent toward the

That's right. How'd you figure that out?

Auto shop, Lawndale High School, 1963.

You guys really double up, don't you?

Not more than five minutes ago, I told
other detectives who were here.

Well, we just like to be thorough is
all.

I can't believe it. I told her not to
worry.

You know, just some kids making crank
calls.

Now she's dead.

We're very sorry.

Was guilty the only thing you said?
Yeah, that was it.

What does it mean?

We're not going to know until we find
this animal.

If you happen to think of anything else
that might help us, give us a call,

would you?

Yeah.

She was just 30 years old.

She thought up jingles for cereal ads,
for God's sake.

Who would want to kill Loretta?

I don't get it.

This guy decides who's guilty and then
he goes out and executes you.

Loretta Johnson, she doesn't exactly
have your typical criminal profile, you

know. Maybe she's got a past life we
don't know anything about.

Let's run her by the computer and see
what we come up with.

Looks pretty clean.

What are you two doing in the computer
room? I'm sure I saw the two of them in

there, Captain. I thought the two of you
were supposed to be in a park

somewhere. Yeah, and Hunter.

I never got those reports on my desk.

What is it? You're so tired from chasing
and arresting muggers that you don't

have the strength to carry the paperwork
into my office? We're just trying to

have some loose ends, Captain.

You had something in your head. Where
did you put it?

What? Hey, look, I don't know what you
two were up to, but it better not

that Strangler case. I've already got
enough detectives working on that. We're

just trying to match up some saliva
samples from the winos down at the park,

Captain. Boy, that's a real killer on
shoe leather.

It's disgusting, McCall.

How's that Strangler case coming,
Captain? Didn't the boyfriend do it? No,

released him this morning.

Wrong guy.

And we've got no further clues or
suspects.

These two are up to something, Captain.

Did you see her pour him coffee?

She never pours him coffee.

Hey, look, Hunter, do everybody a favor.

Stay out of the computer room and in the
park, okay? Right.

Yeah, as a matter of fact, why don't we
go on back to the park and clear the

city of all the winos and bag ladies?

Oh, yeah, right.

Yeah, Bernie. You never can tell when a
wino's gonna barf on your feet.

Okay.

Loretta Johnson.

No arrests, no convictions.

No nothing.

Cleaner than Bernie's sex life.

And what's she guilty of?

I don't know.

Guilty.

I know who this is.

I know who you are.

And I'm going to the police.

Guilty.

That's right, boys. Let's get that stiff
out of here. Very good. That's the way

to do it. Excellent.

Oh, yes. Get in there and start lifting
those prints. Fine, yes. And you just go

around the corner and do whatever you're
going to do around the corner. Are you

sick, man? Are you sick?

You and Jackson check the neighbors and
see if they heard anything? I already

checked them out. The lady back in
number seven said she heard a crash.

have been the door being kicked in.
That's very good. Door kicked in.

That's two O's in door burn. Hunter,
what the hell are you doing here? This

is off limits to you and McCall.

Boy, he sure makes you feel at home,
doesn't he?

Wait a minute. It is off limits, Hunter.

Look, Bernie, we were transporting a
suspect and we saw these vehicles out

we decided to pop in.

Hey!

Shut up, Eddie. I'll cave your head in.
Are you hitting me again, are you? I'm

thinking about it.

You know who you're dealing with. You
know who you're dealing with here, do

Are you sick?

Are you sick or something?

There are departmental orders concerning
the treatment of prisoners, Hutter.

I treat all my prisoners the same,
Bernie. You may well be in violation of

departmental order, then.

What seems to be the trouble?

Who are you?

I'm Detective Twilliger.

Listen, you've got to get me away from
him.

Who?

It's Sergeant Hunter.

Hey, please don't leave me with him.
This guy's crazy.

Did he hurt you?

Hey, I had cuffs on.

Are you saying that Sergeant Hunter
overstepped the law, some kind of police

brutality or something? Yeah, yeah.

He's real scary.

And he says he's going to get me if I
talk. No, no, no. You can talk to me.

You can tell me everything.

Well, first off... No!

I can't talk to you.

I can trust none of you cops because y
'all stick together. No, no, no, no, no,

no. You can trust me, honestly.

Would you like some coffee or something?

Find anything?

I don't know.

I was looking out in the trash and I
found today's newspaper with a couple of

articles clipped out.

It looks like the old man was keeping
some sort of a scrapbook here.

Yeah.

Seems like he's interested in crime
stories, too.

Well, now this is this morning's
newspaper.

There's two pages ripped out of the
scrapbook.

So the killer's coming in here, snuffing
this guy, and then he's taking old

articles with him?

Yeah, that's what it looks like.

Let's go locate these missing articles.

Yeah.

You have a date on that? A date? I got a
place and a time.

Bernie! That looks like Hunter's car.
Now, what the hell is he doing here?

I've been getting some very interesting
information about Hunter from this

prisoner right here. How you doing,
Captain?

Ride visit, Hunter?

Well, transporting this hooligan that we
picked up from the park downtown when

we saw the cars, we decided to stop by.

Yeah, we saw all these cop cars. We
thought maybe Terwilliger got hit by a

or something.

We were concerned.

Well, according to Barney, your prisoner
here has a lot to say. I've got it all

written down and signed by the witness.

I had it. I had it right here.

Hey, well, look, I'd like to stick
around and chat with you guys, but we've

a booking to go to. Top, top. I had it
right here a minute ago. I had it in my

pocket. Yo, quit. I thought you were
going to help me out.

You should have seen him. I really had
him going.

Thanks, Eddie. I appreciate this. I owe
you one.

Yo.

I am the man to pray.

Hey,

Bernie's wallet.

Amigos. Pick him up by the library,
McCall.

Excuse me.

We're looking for the last two issues of
the newspaper.

Local or out of town?

Local. Planning on photocopying?

Well, it's a possibility.

Why? Is it against the law?

Only if you photocopy money.

In which case, they put you away.

And it usually turns out pretty awful
anyway. Now, we charge for all of our

photocopies. No checks, no credit cards.
Do you need change?

I think we can handle it. Would you just
point us in the direction of the file?

Right over there against the wall. Do
you have your library card?

Never leave home without it.

This is really a long shot, you know.

Well, when you're bobbing for anything,
you try anything.

But come on. A ruffled -up newspaper in
the victim's trash can, that could be

zip. Yeah, but maybe the killer didn't
want us to find it.

You gotta keep an open mind about these
things, McCall.

All right, what do you got?

Ah.

A sacramental... A coroner is currently
examining the remains of Martin Klink

for a final determination of death,
which is thought to have been

by cord or rope.

Do you mind keeping it down a little,
please?

That stuff makes me sick.

Mr. Klink, arriving home late in the
evening from a business meeting with an

insurance aid client, was found lying
just outside the front door of a small

apartment not far from the state capitol
building. It's about a murder. Big

deal. Well, it parallels the cases that
we've been running into. They're all

strangulations. Don't you get the
connection?

Hunter, why would this guy kill somebody
up in Sacramento and then come down to

L .A. to get another victim?

Victim.

Victim. Plural. Okay, fine. But it still
doesn't make any sense.

Yet. I'll bet if we call the Sacramento
coroner's office right now, he might be

through with the investigation.

It may have something to do with this
case.

And if not?

Well, if not, then I've... just defaced
a publicly owned major newspaper.

Want the funnies?

I just got off the phone with Shaft
Romano.

Get this.

They found pieces of rawhide embedded in
the victim's neck.

Same way John Matthews did it. Uh -huh,
and this is weird, Hunter.

Why would Matthews cut out an article on
the Sacramento killing and then he

winds up being killed the same way? I
better run to the Sacramento guy to see

he's still on the street. If he is, I'd
say we go pay him a visit.

There it is. The guy lived in Los
Angeles seven years ago in Van Nuys.

Think Matthews knew him? Yeah, possibly.

But it still doesn't explain the
connection between the killer and the

victims.

There's something about this address
that rings a bell.

Loretta Johnson.

Loretta Johnson lived in West Hollywood.
Yeah, currently.

But here's the sheet on it. In 1978, her
California driver's license address was

Van Nuys, California.

All three of these people lived in the
same area in 1978.

Remember those news clippings at
Matthew's house about the jury trial?

All these victims were living in the
same district at the very same time.

And they pulled jurors from voter
registration files by districts.

You think?

Hunter, you're right.

All three of these victims served as
jurors at the trial of Lewis McMahon.

He was convicted of murder and was
sentenced to life.

Which usually means he's back out on the
streets.

The first thing I want to do is contact
the other two jurors living in Los

Angeles to see if they've received any
phone calls.

That's right.

Who are you?

I'm Sergeant Jeannie McCall, Homicide
Division.

May I come in and speak with you,
please?

It's about the Lewis McMahon case.

Something's happened.

He's out of prison, isn't he?

Well, we're checking on that right now.

Mr. Atkins, what we do know is that at
least three of the other members of the

jury that convicted him have been
receiving rather strange phone calls and

shortly thereafter have been strangled.

You said he would.

Are you saying McMahon said he'd kill
the jurors? When?

It was right after the conviction was
brought in.

He looked over at us before they took
him away and he said we were more guilty

than he was.

And we would pay.

You use the word guilty?

First time I laid eyes on that man, I...
It scared me to death.

It's just the pipes.

They make noise.

Listen, Mrs. Atkins.

We'd like to offer you some protection
if you'll take it. At least until we

whether or not it is Lewis McMahon. And
if it is, until we're getting convicted.

Miss McCall, we both know it's Lewis
McMahon.

He didn't look like the other young men
whose trials I was a juror on.

The others looked like they had some
humanity in their faces.

As if they were just misled.

As if they weren't really happy at
having done something wrong.

But Mr. McMahon, he sort of...

You know what I mean?

He liked it.

But he couldn't get enough.

Miss Atkins.

Take some protection from us, okay?

No, I... I don't think I want that just
yet.

Not that I'm a fool, but... You said the
victims had all been

telephoned first.

Yeah, that's right.

Well...

If he calls me, I'll call you.

Fair?

I don't get it. How can they continually
parole guys like that?

Why do they always want to live in Los
Angeles?

Sunshine State.

Nice place.

Looking for Lewis McMahon.

Sit him back there.

Lewis McMahon.

Hey!

Sweetie!

Get out of the truck.

Come on, move it.

Why'd you run?

I'm asking you a question.

Now look, you're either going to talk to
me or you're going to tell it to the

ground. Now why did you run?

What's going on?

Questioning a suspect.

I can save your breath. Louie can't
talk.

What do you mean Louie can't talk?

He's got no voice box.

He had a cut clean through in a knife
fight in prison.

His vocal cords were severed in the
fight.

He was in the prison yard about six
years ago.

Since then, he hasn't been able to
speak.

He ran from me.

You come barging in, flashing a badge to
a parolee. He gets scared, he runs.

A jury convicts this guy of murder.

And then three months ago in Sacramento,
he gets out on parole.

And a juror turns up dead.

And then he moves to Los Angeles. And
guess what happens?

Two more of those same jurors wind up
dead.

I'm his parole officer.

He's a model parolee, and he can't talk.

And you've got witnesses that claim he
calls up and talks to his victims.

Using the word guilty.

Yeah. It's all too simple, isn't it?

I mean, wouldn't McCann be the perfect
subject to a frame for these murders?

That's what I think is happening.

McCann is a fall guy for some nut.

Oh, give me a break.

No, you give me a break, McCall. Now, we
got a search warrant for the guy's

apartment, and it's clean.

I mean, we got nothing on this guy,
nothing.

And no DA is going to hold a mute who's
making phone calls to people.

Maybe he can talk.

What? Maybe he's just been holding out.

For six years?

Go to hell. There, for you.

Captain, this is the guy.

We can't hold him, so let's drop it,
huh?

And we got nothing.

And you stay off this case, Hunter. I
mean it.

Lewis is our boy, all right. Yeah, and
the guy's back out on the street.

Makes me sick.

We know where he lives, and we know
where he works.

So let's tail him.

What's taking him?

Maybe he's cleaning up in there before
it's split.

The place hasn't been cleaned up since
it opened.

The floor show's just beginning.

Well, we could nab him for littering.

I have an idea what we can do to get
something on him better than that.

I wonder what the hell he's up to.

Well, maybe somebody's having a rope
sale in there. Come on.

Pretty strange place for a phone call,
don't you think?

Yeah, well, if you're going to terrorize
people over the phone, you might as

well do it in the phone booth of your
choice.

Say, man, what is this?

Sorry, I thought she was somebody else.

L -56, please respond.

L -56, Hunter here.

I mean, after this guy's trial, DA sat
us all down and told us that whenever

some criminal makes a threat on the
jury, they never follow through. Well,

actually, that's true. There's never
been a documented case where a convicted

criminal actually did go after the
jurors, but we just wanted to play safe.

They wanted us to take all precautions.

I gotta tell you, I was really scared
when the guy called.

Well, he called about ten minutes ago.

If he's gonna make his move, he's gonna
make it pretty soon.

Hunter, come on.

It's late. I don't think this guy's
going to show.

We'll send you somebody from downtown.

I don't get it.

Why would the guy call Thelma and not
show?

The other juror.

He called Thelma to throw us off.

You're not going to have that light on
much longer, are you?

I just have three more pages till the
end of this chapter.

I hate it when you read those scary
books before you go to bed. You keep me

all night thinking you're hearing
noises.

I do not.

Paul, did you hear something?

Hmm?

Finish your book and turn out the light.

I just have two more pages.

Oh, did you hear that?

We'll call you to take the bat.

Why is it I can always tell the sound of
Terwilliger's siren?

Honey, I got television people out here.
Look at them.

Newspapers, reporters, everything.

You're making me an old man, honey. You
really are. Look, Captain, that was our

man. Yeah, but you wouldn't swear that
it was Lewis McMahon, could you? I mean,

you didn't actually see him, did you?

Well, it was dark. I almost had the guy,
Captain. Did you see the house? You

almost destroyed the house, Hunter. I
got two police psychologists up there

just trying to coax the woman out from
underneath the bed. She's hysterical.

Captain, we probably saved her life.

Firearms discharge report's going to
have to be filed.

The officer involved shooting teams on
its way out here right now. I've already

called them. Well, you are so efficient,
Bernie. I bet you were cut, Scott.

Look,

Captain, we got a raving maniac on our
hands. Look, I want to catch this guy

just as bad as you do, but I want to
make sure I catch the right one.

You know, I could suspend you for what
you did, working on a case without

authorization, derelict in duty, and in
general, just sticking your nose where

it doesn't belong.

Well, Captain, I am his partner. I
helped him stick his nose where it

belong. Look, Captain, Bernard, I'd like
to stand out here and talk with you

further, but I'm going to go home and
put my head in the dryer.

Hey, Hunter, I want you to go to the
station. You can change there. McCall,

go with him.

Come on, Bernard.

I think we're going to be... Come on,
honey, we're not going to be suspended.

Hey, look, I saw the wild, crazy look in
his eye. We're going to be suspended.

I suppose you think you know everything,
huh? I saw the same crazy, wild look in

his eye, and we're not going to be
suspended.

A woman's intuition, I suppose.

Do you know what's wrong with you?

No, but I bet you're going to tell me.
You got it. You always look at the

downside of everything.

I don't believe this.

Two weeks suspension from Me Too.

Yeah, what happened to my partner back
there?

I'm not the one who shot up the guy's
bedroom.

Besides, I never thought the captain
would actually go through with it.

Yeah, we're learning new and wondrous
things about our captain each and every

day.

We've got to get this guy, Hunter.

Well, we've got enough time to do it
now. We're on prevention.

Let's get some coffee, huh?

How you doing, Louie?

How's that voice box today, huh?

Why don't you say guilty, Tony?

I'd like to hear you say that.

I think he wants a pencil and paper.

Yeah, well, he's not going to get one. I
have an idea he's going to talk to me

today.

When are you going to drop the pencil
and paper bit? I know you can talk.

Prove it.

That's just what I'm going to do.

I'm going to prove it.

Try it if you can.

Come on, Hunter, let's get out of here.

Yeah, the tension here is making me
nauseous.

Think he's going to make a move on
Thelma Adkins?

She's the only juror in Los Angeles he
hasn't hit on yet.

She works at a local machine shop. I
think I'll go over and give her a call.

Yeah, you do that. I'm going to hang
around here until this guy gets off of

work. I'm going to tail this guy. I
don't want to lose him.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

How you doing? You all right? Yeah.

Thank God for plastic.

It was scary, though.

Yeah, it sure was.

Right back where we started, huh?

You know, after all the things we've
done, you'd think we'd get a medal or a

badge or something.

But nope.

All we get is a thank you and a lousy
assignment right back here at the same

stinking park.

Give me your wallet.

My wallet?

The wallet nobody gets here.

Hey, did you get me my orange soda?

Buddy, this is not your day.
