George!

Come here.

Watch.

You

wouldn't

believe the stuff people throw.

Pianos, anchors, grenades.

Sometimes relatives.

Sometimes in pieces.

Well, he'd be used to it, you know. I
don't.

Found her credit cards and ID.

Name is Sally Jenkins.

Got an SAG card.

Yeah, she was an actress.

Yeah? Well, she's doing a great job of
playing dead.

I can see this isn't going to be my day.

Better than hers.

When I grow up, I want to be a very
famous clown.

And have the people laugh at me when the
circus comes to town.

I'll make them glad when they are sad.
I'll chase away each brown.

I'll honk my nose and tip my hat when
the circus comes to town.

And when you hear the old calliope, you
watch me and you laugh.

I'll jump like a seal and roll like a
wheel and stretch my neck like a big

giraffe.

I hope you see me when I'm shown when I
become a clown.

Next year when I am fully grown.

And the circus comes to town.

It's been a long time since I
entertained the kids.

I suppose it's just a coincidence that
you happened to pick 15 minutes before

Harry Trumbull's retirement party to do
it. Is that today?

Look, Dad, if you don't want to go, just
say so.

Why wouldn't I want to go?

You didn't catch the clown killer?

Oh, God, it was a long time ago. It's
been years since that task force was

disbanded. Doesn't mean it hasn't been
eaten away at you both.

I'm not going to put it behind me.

Well, maybe you have, but we both know
Harry hasn't.

Is that why you've been avoiding the
party?

I was the last person to leave that task
force eight years ago, and we haven't

spoken since.

Kind of awkward time to start again.

We're the best.

Harry could use his friends right now.
He hasn't got many left.

Let's go.

All right, hold your guns. We've got the
man of the hour.

Here is Harry Trumbull.

Even a bullet in the throat couldn't
keep him from achieving what most

detectives dream of.

He managed to milk one case for 15
years.

And keep himself off the streets.

Harry Trumbull.

Thank you.

Congratulations, Harry.

40 years on the job, that's quite an
achievement.

Not exactly what I'd hope to be
remembered for.

You taught a lot of homicide detectives
how to do their job.

That's a legacy that lasts a long time.

You of all people should know exactly
what I'm talking about.

But then again, you've solved a lot of
murders since then.

Well, I've been locked away in my little
room.

Harry, you locked yourself away in that
room.

It's because the Clown Killer's still
out there.

Only now.

No one will be looking for him.

Harry, you did the best job you could
do. It's time to put that behind you

Enjoy your life a little bit.

You always talked about going deep sea
fishing in Carmel. Do it.

I talked about a lot of things.

Talked about a wife, kids,
grandchildren.

You know what happened to that?

You invited me to come down here?

No surprises in the autopsy. Sally
Jenkins was definitely strangled,

from behind with bare hands. You can
tell by the bruises around her neck.

Too bad we can't get fingerprints off
flesh.

That day will come, but until then we
have DNA.

She definitely fought. I found skin
under her fingernails.

You find the killer, and I'll nail him
with chromosomes.

Give me a couple of days.

That's pretty optimistic.

She had a boyfriend that didn't want to
let go.

She called the cops on him twice. Last
time he broke down her door with a

sledgehammer. He, uh, didn't show up for
work today.

That's pretty grossing.

Any idea why the white made that?
Because the crime killer didn't finish

work. Why wasn't I notified about this
immediately?

Because you're retired.

The 24 hours that passed since I handed
him my badge hasn't helped my memory

that much.

I'm still the expert on the clown
killer.

This isn't a clown killing.

You just let me be the judge of that,
okay?

Good thing I still have a few friends on
the force to let me in on this.

Before the air got cold, this is our
best lead.

Harry, the clown killer stabbed his
victims and painted a clown face on

Sally Jenkins was strangled and she not
wearing a clown face. That's because

something or someone interrupted the
boyfriend.

That's why this is the most significant
break we ever had.

There could be a witness out there. The
clown killer also made an incision in

his victim's tongues. She doesn't have
one.

He didn't get to finish. Are you
listening to me? Look, I've heard

Sally Jenkins was an actress.

Between gigs, she worked birthday
parties and storybook characters.

When we checked her apartment, we found
an open jar of white face paint on her

makeup table. She was probably at the
makeup table when she was strangled.

The clown killer picked up his victims
on the street. He never entered anyone's

home. I'm telling you, it's him. And he
just happens to strike on the same day

that you retire and the task force is
officially shut down.

That's exactly why he did it. To laugh
at me, to laugh at all of us. Harry, we

all know how you feel. You've been
forced to leave your job before your

done.

The day I catch him.

He was a very good cop once. Yes, he
was.

You two were good friends.

I'm sure he could use one right now.

Not me, I'm afraid.

Promise.

That's our world -famous corned beef
salad.

And the next one is a smoked tongue cob.

And the one after that is our famous
Santa Fe pastrami Caesar.

Definitely original.

Oh, yeah. I like to think of them as
salads a man would not be ashamed to

Don't you think they're a little hearty?

Well, hearty, yes.

But it's the only way I can get Steve to
put a little roughage on the menu.

Hey.

Give me some bacon and eggs, will you,
Ches?

You can get them yourself.

And gouge your eyes out with my spoon,
too.

Hey, well, a very good morning to you,
too.

Boy, the surly in the morning routine
works great. You can't believe what I

people to do for me.

Well, you're saying you're actually a
good boy.

Great. I got a line from Sally Jenkins'
ex -boyfriend, Ed Pender.

His brother, Erno, runs a wrecking yard
in Venice. I checked him out.

Likes to break down doors with
sledgehammers, trucks, benches.

The clown killer terrorized the city a
decade ago with a string of killings

left six women dead and police baffled.
And now comes the terrifying news that

he's back.

The clown killer took responsibility for
the slaying in a note delivered to this

station late last night.

Its authenticity was confirmed by
Lieutenant Harry Trumbull, the head of

Clown Killer Task Force.

Yes, there has been another killing.

Unfortunately, it's consistent with his
past murders.

And so is the note, which contains
information that only the clown could

I knew that Harry was obsessed with that
clown. I never thought he'd go this

far. He's going to have this whole city
in a panic.

Well, that's the station. I've got to
go. I don't want to take long with you.

All right, listen up. The chief has
reactivated the clown killer task force,

Harry Trumbull has been reinstated.

You're all assigned to this, or the
casework is temporarily suspended.

How do we know it was the clown, and not
some crank?

All of the clown's letters include the
victim's time of death.

Now, that's something only the killer
and we knew.

He put it in military time at the end of
his message, and that's one tidbit we

never released to the media.

You report to Harry. He's going to
coordinate the investigation.

That's all.

Now it's got work.

But that's how we're going to nail him.
I want daily reports on my desk at 9 o

'clock.

I'd like you back on the team.

I'll help you perpetuate this fraud,
Harry.

The clown didn't write that letter, you
did. Oh, get your priorities straight,

will you?

Clown killer's still out there. I'm
going to stop him.

Oh, you're monopolizing the resources of
the police department to evade

retirement. How many killers are looking
for you out there?

Here's your assignment, detective.

How nice of the clown to say hello.

Timely, too.

You got a job to do.

Why don't you go out there and talk to
him?

believe the clown is back do you what i
do believe is that every television and

newspaper reporter in the city is camped
outside the chief's office he's

expecting results we have got to give it
to him the clown didn't kill sally

jenkins give me one day and i can prove
it one day

and your clock is ticking

the husband is, the wife is, though
automated with a clown.

1100 hours.

What do you want?

It's been a long time, Harry.

Thanks for inviting me to clown around
again.

Something wrong?

Oh, no. Just a crankle.

Nice to be back.

Is this another clown coin? Can you tell
us why he's come back?

He'll come until I take a look.

I should congratulate you, Harry.

You were right after him.

What do we have here?

Young female, 22, the name on the
driver's license, Judy Shedlow.

It's there.

When I got that page, I could only bring
myself to come down here. Even in the

car, I kept hoping. We all did.

The only thing that matters is to see
this never happens again.

I'm going to need your help, Steve.

Can I come?

Yeah, Harry.

I want to know everything you've seen
since you got here.

I'm glad you're back on the team.

I'm just here to finish the job I
started ten years ago. That's all.

And I still believe that that letter was
a fake. And when this thing's over, I'm

going to find out the truth.

Fair enough.

So where's the clown been hiding all
these years?

He hasn't been.

Not his last killing, 89.

We all wondered why he vanished.

I remember hearing a lot of theories.

Yeah, we thought he was more of a
killer. He finished a pattern that we

understand. Yeah, pretty useless.

Yeah, because it was based on wishful
thinking.

Truth is, the clown never stopped
killing.

I don't remember hearing about any
murders that even sounded like the

That's because you were looking at the
wrong places.

Just like I've been doing for so long.

Siberia? Oh, it's pretty rugged country
up there. Only thought about a couple of

months in the summer.

July 1990, when the snow melted, it
uncovered six dead women.

Stabbed? Well, Siberian baby keeping
isn't up to our standard.

But at least one woman had an incision
on her tongue.

And enough of their faces survived the
winter.

Show traces of grease paint.

Clown faces.

Well, not exactly clown.

I reconstructed these from bits and
pieces of the victims' photos.

Skomoroki. In Russian mythology, he's
the trickster.

Look at him.

You reconstructed this, so you don't
know that this is actually what was

on the victims. Oh, wait, I got more.

I was sure he wasn't going to stop
killing.

Siberia? Saudi Arabia and Nigeria,
they're all oil -producing countries.

And Mexico and Venezuela, you've traced
this path for the last ten years.

So he worked for an oil company, and the
reason he stopped killing here is

because he was transferred. And then he
was transferred back.

So we have to figure out what oil
companies have operations in these

and we've got to make a list of all the
employees whose movements parallel these

killings. That's why they gave me a
dozen officers.

Now it's about time before you watch me
break them down.

Mary, Dad, I'd like to meet Jed Pender.

He just admitted murdering his
girlfriend, Sally Jenkins.

He couldn't have.

Seems Jed wanted Sally to stay home and
watch videos.

She wanted to go to work playing Raggedy
Ann at a kid's birthday party.

He settled the argument by throttling
her to death.

I think the DNA test in the skin found
under her fingernails will prove it.

Why would the clown confess to somebody
else's murder?

Go on, Harry.

Explain that to us.

Well, the only reason I could think of
it, he's toying with us.

Somebody is.

So you think Harry picked that letter so
we wouldn't take away his task force?

Of course he did.

And then what happened?

He didn't think we were enthusiastic
enough, so he killed the second girl

himself. No, we don't believe Harry's
responsible for something like that, but

if he forged that letter, he's
responsible for the second murder.

You had some problems with Harry a few
years ago, is that right? That has

nothing to do with this.

Of course not.

But unlike Harry, you don't have any
personal agenda at all.

If the clown was living in L .A., sir,
and he saw those fake letters, it might

have inspired him to start the killing
again.

It's a very interesting theory, Sloan.

What is your point?

You've got to take Trumbull off the task
force.

No.

What, are you going to reward him for
what he did?

Sloan, have you seen the news lately?

People are afraid.

Harry Trumbull makes them feel safe.

Harry's the reason they're scared?

They don't know that.

All they know is that this force has an
expert on the clown killer.

And he's going to use all of his
expertise to stop this maniac from

innocent women. His investigation is
hopelessly compromised, sir. If he

that letter... Look, that accusation is
without any evidence so far.

Unless you are holding something back on
me.

You want Harry Trumbull punished for
what he did?

If he forged that letter, I think he
should be held accountable, yes.

I assume you share your father's
sentence?

Yes, sir.

All right. I authorize you to
investigate Harry Trumbull's role in

Thank you, sir.

Said investigation begins one hour after
the arrest of the clown killer.

You want Trumbull.

Help him get me the clown.

And he's yours.

Not only the oil companies, but the
businesses that service them, build

equipment. Any personnel records, travel
documents, anything we can get.

We have to talk about that first letter.

Only a couple of hours. I'm kind of busy
here. I'm in the mood to talk now.

To you or the press, your choice.

You've all got your assignments.

We need answers before the end of
business tomorrow.

Let's find some place private.

I assume I'm meeting you instead of
Newman's office, because you couldn't

thrown on my own task force.

Who sent that letter, Harry?

Until you get evidence to the contrary,
it's credited to the clown.

He didn't kill Sally Jenkins.

Then let's add 50 to his list of crimes.

Are we done here?

That other girl, Judy Shetlow, put this
on your conscience.

I'm going back to work.

You woke him up, Harry.

You demanded he stop killing again, all
so you could have the glory of catching

him. He killed dozens of women and
you're willing to let him retire in

You're willing to let him out there free
laughing at us? Yes.

And what about a little thing called
justice? What about that? It hasn't got

anything to do with justice.

You're an old man, Harry, and you've
wasted your life on this case.

And now you're desperately trying to
squeeze some meaning out of it. It's

pathetic.

I wasted my life?

You mean I never got married?

I never raised a son to take my place
when I retired?

I didn't mean that, Harry. I'm sorry.

Why is that, you think?

Why didn't I ever get married?

I remember I was in love once.

I was even engaged.

It was 40 years ago, Harry Little alone.

It's coming back to me.

I remember her name was Catherine.

She was so beautiful, and she loved me
more.

She said she loved me.

Until she met a young doctor.

Then she didn't love me anymore.

You know he didn't mean for that to
happen. You stole my life.

Don't you dare lecture me about my
conscience until you're ready to talk

your own

As the husband is, the wife is. Thou art
mated with a clown.

Eleven hundred dollars.

What do you want?

Same as you. To catch the clown killer.

And bring meaning to my wasted pathetic
life. I can't help you there, Harry.

That's something you'll have to do
yourself.

I want a seat.

Clamp iron bars. That's all the meaning
I've ever needed.

Listen, how are we doing with the oil
companies?

Well, I'm expecting the personnel files
first thing in the morning. Then we put

on our comfy shoes and hit the street.
I've got a pair that need breaking in.

Can I tag along?

Well, if you want to help, I'm certainly
not going to throw you out.

But if you're on the team, you work for
me.

No second guessing, no questions.

I can do that.

However, you have to promise to be
absolutely honest with me.

Deal. Mark.

Don't tell me.

I was walking away with crucial evidence
you'd have to study in the morning.

Jump mail, that's all.

I'm Howard Weber, head of personnel.

I gathered the files you requested.

May I ask what this is all about? We
investigated a homicide.

Well, that much I figured out when you
introduced yourself on the phone.

Oh, you're the guy I saw on TV the other
day, aren't you?

Oh, this is about the clown killer.

Oh, boy, those killings were years ago.
Why would he come back now?

We don't think he ever stopped. He just
moved on.

You don't think... I mean, you don't
think that he's one of our employees?

I mean, we have a homicidal maniac
working here? We're checking about a

oil companies who operate in Southern
California. He could work at one of them

or none.

Well, since the killing stopped here in
L .A. about ten years ago, similar

murders have been occurring in oil
-producing countries. We thought there

be a connection.

We had our company picnic about a week
ago, and my wife and kids were there.

He was there.

I even let him pick up my daughter.

You know who it was?

We have a lot of employees who have
worked in the places you listed.

But there's only one whose travel
schedule matches the date you gave me.

Randy Horsting?

Mm -hmm.

Platform killer.

Just returned from Saudi Arabia six
weeks ago.

He doesn't get along well with female co
-workers, so we try to work around

that. What's his problem with women?

Let's just say that after a couple of
months on an oil platform on the North

Sea, the first woman you meet is going
to get a lot more attention than she

wants.

Most of our female employees understand
that.

Not every woman is an understanding
employee.

Something like that.

Do you mind if we take these files with
us, kind of sort through them?

No, no, no, of course, of course.

Oh, but you just do me one favor.

When you catch this guy, whoever it is,
Do you have to mention where you worked?

It has to come out.

And if you'll excuse me, I have to call
my stockbroker.

Most of my 401k is in Triax Petroleum
stocks.

Here you go.

It's been two hours.

The chances of Worsting slipped out the
back.

No, no, trust me.

According to his records, Worsting used
to hit on any attractive woman he saw in

a bar.

Or any place else, for that matter.

Only when he got so choosy.

I was just thinking, you're a good cop,
you know that, Steve?

Sorry we didn't get to know each other
better.

Well, we spent the night together in a
car.

You know what your favorite radio
station is?

Just taking your coffee and why you hate
a Titanic.

What else is there?

Oh, I meant before.

All those years working in the same
building.

You never really talked.

Well, it's a big department.

Oh, I see a lot of your mother in you.

You knew her? You can't introduce her to
your father.

Really? Sure.

Well, I guess I should thank you.

You got a girlfriend?

Yeah, I'm seeing someone.

It's okay with her that you spend all
this time away from her.

She knows it's just the job.

I always say that.

And come today when I don't mean it
anymore.

You know.

You never know how much you hurt them
until after they leave you.

You're a guy who never got married.

You know a lot.

I do, don't I?

You know, it's good being a cop, but
it's important to have a life.

If I had a son, I'd pray that he had
both.

Worst thing.

I like guts.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm all right.

My back's a little sore from sitting in
the car.

Now,

this

just doesn't feel right. It's him. Just
wait.

Enough.

Wait. Hold it.

Are you okay?

Check him out.

Did I hit him?

Yeah, you got him, Harry.

You look like you got bad news. There's
nothing you don't already know.

You've got cancer.

Call them cancer.

That's where it started.

Through your entire body now, Harry.

So what have I got?

A couple of weeks, a month.

Didn't have to happen this way for just
a minute. Oh, shit, Rob Mark.

Today's a good day.

Boy, you finished your life's work. Now
you can die in peace.

Well, there are worse things out there.

I suppose.

As long as we got the right guy.

They are going to make this case stick
against them, aren't they?

He's dead, hairy, he's shot. I've got to
know it's him.

Well, his house is full of violent
pornography.

He brought a big collection of knives.

Not enough.

Well, Steve found the makeup that the
clown used on his last victim in the

compartment of Horst's truck.

Now, there's only one thing I've got to
do. Just as soon as you're a little

stronger. No, he's been waiting 15
years.

It's the file on the first crime killing
case. It's my home.

I've been waiting a long time to mark it
closed. Look, I'm out of here in a

couple of hours. I'll be happy to go get
it for you if you're a good patient.

Okay. I'll wait.

I'm good at that.

How does it feel to switch places,
Harry?

I pick hosting.

You kill them.

What a team we make.

Oh, the world loves a clown.

Zero -one -thirty hours.

Ah, you're just in time, Dr. Sloan.
Dinner's almost ready.

Fresh salmon, lightly seasoned, and it's
great for you.

You're the clown killer.

Of course I am.

You murdered 16 women.

Closer to 40. I don't understand.

You have a family. You must put some
value on human life.

Well, it wouldn't be fun otherwise.

Those women you murdered, they're no
different than your wife and your kids.

Oh, I would never do to my wife or kids
what I do to those women.

Cheryl!

Cheryl, stop pulling Jimmy's hair!

Now, how would you like it if he did
that to you?

Complicated guy, aren't I?

Howard? How long until dinner, honey?

Another five minutes.

It's not like I wouldn't like to do it
to my wife.

I mean, I would if it was something she
could survive, but as we both know, it's

not.

Are you aware of how sick you are?

You can't go on with it, can you? We'll
stop you. Well, from what I read in the

papers, you already have.

The clown killer is dead.

Case closed.

Boy, everybody must be so relieved.

I mean, I feel so much safer now.

Will you be staying for dinner?

No, thank you, Mr. Irvine.

I feel a little sick.

Well, I'm sure it'll pass.

Oh, a doctor.

You know, all the stuff I just said, I
was just clowning around.

Howard Webber is a clown.

I thought Randy Horsting was the clown.

You remember Randy Horsting, don't you,
Lieutenant?

That's the fellow you're commanding off
the shot in the back last night.

Webber set Horsting up to save himself.

Well, you can tell that to Horsting's
relatives when they launch a $90 million

wrongful death suit against the
department.

We can actually say that it wasn't our
fault.

Horsting was a violent rapist fleeing
police pursuit.

At least that's what looks good on the
report.

I tracked down three of his previous
victims.

They all confirmed that he raped them
and threatened to kill them if they

pressed charges.

That's reassuring.

You know, maybe we should put this on
top of the press release.

That way people won't look at the small
print where it actually says... Oops.

We still haven't found the clown.

But we know who he is now.

Let's tear his house apart. Or better
yet, let me bring him in. And what am I

going to base a search warrant on?

Just confession for one thing?

Would that be the confession that he
gave you while he was barbecuing dinner

his kids?

The judge will love that.

So what's your alternative, Captain, to
let him go on killing?

If Weber is the clown, he's not going to
come out, especially since we closed

the case.

And there is the possibility that we may
be watching him. Unless that just makes

it better.

I will authorize a 24 -hour watch on
Weber for two weeks.

But if one word leaks out that we are
not sure that Horsting was the clown, I

will pull the surveillance.

Is that understood?

Yes, sir.

Weber is smart.

He'll just wait till he's out of the
country to keep on killing.

Well, there won't be no problem with it.

Come to finish me off, Mark.

What do you mean? You got the murder
weapon in your hand.

That's the file on the first clown
killer case.

The Kit Camry file.

I've only been hanging around so I can
mark it closed.

Honestly, it's not going to be that
easy.

That's one thing I learned after 40
years of homicide.

Dying is always easy. It's life that's
hard.

I went to the house to get the file.

Then you know what I'm talking about.

I buried myself for 15 years hunting for
that killer. Because I knew I was the

only one who could stop him.

I stopped living my own life.

I know you forged that letter, Harry.

I had to.

You brought him back.

I'm sorry about Trudy Shetlow.

I'm sorry about a lot of things.

You know, I never really hated you for
stealing Catherine away.

Well, you had me, fool.

I pushed her away.

I told myself that my job was more
important than any relationship.

The fact is, I was afraid of committing
myself to another person.

You know, I think she understood that.

Let me have that file.

What's that?

Prescription. Something to help you
sleep.

Pen? Yes, sir.

Hello? Oh, Dr. Sloan!

I'm afraid you just missed Howard. He's
on his way to the refinery.

This time I'm here to see you and the
kids.

I don't understand.

Well, didn't Howard tell you? I'm
heading up a Triax Petroleum Student

Health Care Program.

My goal is to start personalizing the
service a little.

It's about time.

Now, this is the sample from Trudy
Shedlow. Yes.

And you didn't find it on Sally Jenkins.

Absolutely not. I checked and I
rechecked.

And we know for certain that Sally
Jenkins and Trudy Shedlow were not

by the same man.

Yes, but you knew that already.

But now I know a lot more.

I won't let you hassle my family or
violate our privacy.

Amanda, this is Howard Weber.

You don't know him, but you're familiar
with his work.

He's responsible for Trudy Shedlow.

You impersonated a triax physician in
order to extract personal information

my wife and children.

You know, I'm glad you dropped by,
Howard. I've been looking into your

problem. Expect to be contacted by my
lawyers.

They are filing a complaint with the
Medical Association as we speak.

You know, he's been suffering from a
really nagging case of desert lice. It's

subspecies of something called Pediculus
palpabrarum.

It lives in the eyelids and the eyes,
and it's unique to Saudi Arabia.

And it only takes the slightest contact
to transfer from one human being to

another. The ointment is not working.

Your concern for my children is
touching.

But they're already being cared for by a
doctor who, unlike you, will still be

practicing medicine next week. You know,
we found the same parasite in Trudy

Shedlow's eyelashes, and she's never
been to Saudi Arabia.

Or Mandy Horsting has.

More proof that your father killed the
right man.

How gratifying for you. Just one
problem.

Horsting isn't infected with the
parasite.

But your son, on the other hand, is.
Now, unless he's the clown that leaves

Well, and the thousands of people who
arrive into the United States from Saudi

Arabia every day.

It's enough to arrest you and obtain a
search warrant for your house, your car,

and your office. It's such a waste of
time. Are you sure you want to do that?

I will walk out of jail tomorrow an
innocent victim of police incompetence.

Well, I'll be hunted by the press, of
course. Oh, I'll probably have to hire a

publicist, maybe even an agent. I'll
take that chance. And the public, of

course, will wonder just who the police
shot and killed the other night.

And why?

It may be years before the police
department regains the public's trust

respect, if ever.

The good news is there could be a book
deal in this.

A few more deaths would really jack up
sales.

Laugh and the world laughs with you.

Weep. And here we go on.

I don't know.

Yeah.

Harry, you didn't have to do that. We
would have stopped them. Come on.

I had to be the one to stop them.

You know that.

Here's to Detective Harry Trumbull.

A relentless, dedicated cop who wouldn't
even let death cheat him out of getting

his man.

I

think

the chief is going to have a tough time
hanging on to his job.

In fact, so will I.

Well, we've proved beyond a doubt that
Howard Bevan was the killer. We've found

his knife and the makeup buried in the
backyard in a lockbox.

After he was murdered by a cop, who
faked letters from the killer to the

and after the city paid $15 million to
Horsting's family to preempt a wrongful

death suit.

Well, it can't be stopped.

I mean, in the end, that's the only
thing that's important.

Well, you tell that to the special
investigator when the hearings begin in

weeks.

It was funny.

Harry and I were in the same precinct
most of my career, but we only really

talked once.

The night Washington was killed? Yeah.

I had this strange feeling he was trying
to reach out to me somehow.

I don't know why.

What did you talk about?

Oh, not much. Just life.

You know.

Yeah. I think so.
