We go again. Another bump and grind.

You know the tips we get here?

They're a lot better than the ones you get at Woolworth.

If these goddamn hoes run again, I'm going to yell holy bloody murder.

Well, I don't have to worry about that. My old man pays for everything.

My feet.

Poor, poor feet.

It's starting to swell already.

Yeah, it's probably the heat.

Well, if it's the heat, who turned it on? Me.

Do you mind?

I was getting a chill.

Well, I do mind.

Mind to put something on before my face melts.

Hey, who stole my naked lipstick?

Here,

boo -boo, I ran out last night.

Marie, I told you a hundred times to keep your crummy hands off my stuff.

Oh, shit.

Don't nobody move. I dropped an eyelash.

Female units around the world unite.

Sorry, never was much of a joiner. And if I hear that shit from you one more

time about women's lib boobies... Okay, you can move. I found it.

Say, I had a customer last night.

He wanted me to kiss his cheek. His what?

His cheek.

Which cheek? The one in his pants.

Don't laugh.

He offered me 60 bucks.

For 60 bucks, I'd rather kiss a pet alligator.

Aren't you afraid you'd get bit?

Yeah, but I've been bit by the best.

That's true. I've seen the battle scars.

Would you like to compare scars, Boo -Boo? Come on. You were losing fights

before I was born. Uh -oh.

Why, you miserable... Ouch!

What the hell do you think you are?

Come on, you turkeys.

It's Saturday night. The customers are bidding down the door. Do you hear?

She called me a bitch. Hey, I could have called you a lot of worse things.

Ignore her. She's just being polite, huh?

Poor slicer. Black belt, bald bastard.

Vito, Vito, she's trying to kill me.

Both of you.

Look, Marie, get your rest of the work, huh?

Nobody slaps Sophie, including my old lady.

Understand? And I tell you, you too.

Get the register, Jean. The animals are hungry. They won't wait. Come on, let's

go, huh?

tricks, girls.

Bruce, I love you. You're back again. By popular demand, my dear.

Brucey. Yes?

Don't go cutting into my business again tonight.

Girl, you know I don't fool around with no closet queen.

Amuse yourself.

Is everybody ready to get turned on?

Oh, who the hell can read one thing at a time, would you, huh?

Small crowd tonight.

So what else is new?

Inflation. Got the markings right? Yeah, there you go, baby.

You're up and running.

Don't work too hard. I love you, Jack.

You sure you're old enough, son.

Don't flatter yourself, son.

Don't call me Sonny.

I'll call the hounds on you.

I've been here for four weeks, and it feels like a year.

How could you take it for all these years?

What years?

No, I mean facing that crowd night after night.

Are you kidding?

She'd rather be put by a drunk than married by a bishop.

Bishops are boring.

Hey, I've got nothing on tonight. Why don't you guys come on over to my place,

and we'll have a drink and map out a plan to wipe out the male race.

I don't know. I'll see.

Sorry, I couldn't. Dave will be gone in about an hour.

His late shift at the hospital really turns us around.

I want you two getting married anyway.

Soon, I hope.

Well, if Theo doesn't have to go read his books, okay. Otherwise, I have to

figure out what to do or don't. If not, I'll see you at the end of the table on

Monday night.

You know, I think she's lonely.

Oh, come on. She's going to pick up some of them on the way home.

Yeah, I know, but I still can't help feeling sorry for her.

Forget it, kid. Life's too short.

Good night.

I'm sorry. You're crazy.

Let me help you out.

Get out of here.

Don't call me.

hang us up for more than half an hour. Hey, listen, Dave gets worried.

That's good for him. Yeah, I know, but he's got a lot on his mind. Are you

staying or going? Going. Stay.

Okay, all right, we're going to go.

Okay, but just for one minute.

Trust me.

It's not going to be more than one drink. How much do I owe you?

$150. Keep two.

Thanks.

Thank you.

What about the voice?

Was it high?

Low?

Any sort of accent?

He didn't talk.

He just made noises like an animal.

Lieutenant, we've gone over this six times. Don't you think we deserve a

break?

You said he resembled a guy that had been in the club earlier that evening,

right?

My head was full of scotch.

There was Bruce on stage. There was a lot of cigar smoke. I'm really not sure.

Can you tell us what kind of flash gun he had on the camera?

It was a round on top.

Different looking.

What was it, like a 35 millimeter?

A two and a quarter? It looked like a Polaroid.

It was a little black and silver. It was like an Instamatic, but a little bit

smaller.

Do you know what kind of knife he held?

It was red and wet.

Well, why don't we take care of these details later?

Harry, I'll go see how Miss Thompson's doing with the mugshots.

Thanks a lot, Pete.

Ladies, I'd like to show you some pictures.

Pieces of faces.

All standard shapes.

And all I want you to do is tell me which ones most closely resemble the

We know he has long hair and a beard.

All right, so why don't we start with the hair.

When you see something that looks like him, let me know. All right.

Anything here?

Yeah, this is like it, but a little longer.

Yeah, and not so curly.

Maybe a little lighter.

Well, let's try the D18.

That's pretty close.

That's it.

Okay, well, let's go with that on the hair.

Now the eyes, same process.

When you see something, let me know.

What was his eyes like?

His eyes were really light blue, like dry eyes.

Maybe.

No,

no.

Wait,

um...

No, not good.

That could be, I don't know, maybe... That's the

face. That's it.

Those are the eyes, though. These are the eyes.

All right, how about this?

What about this?

That's the face.

We've dictated the president's decision to send aid to the amount of $7 billion

above the amount first agreed upon last April.

Congress is planning to oppose the bill, said one congressman.

The inflation recession in this country has bled the consumer dead.

The woman in her late 20s, Boo Boo Johnson, who was brutally murdered and

two nights ago, has the authorities baffled.

When the three witnesses, Marie O 'Connor, Susan Thompson, and Jenny

arrived on the scene, they each stated they were sure they could pick the

out of the police lineup if the Los Angeles police could track down the

He's already starting to be called the camera bug killer.

Putting together the pieces, the barmaid witnesses came up with this identikit

impression of the suspect.

Height, six feet tall.

Weight, about 190 pounds.

Male, Caucasian.

Black or dark brown hair.

Full beard of the same color.

Light eyes, dressed in dungarees, jacket, and pants with dark green shirt.

Anyone with any information as to the whereabouts of this man is asked to call

766 -5277.

Call 766 -5277.

The police department will keep all information in strict confidence.

Harry, what is this? Glad you want to meet up here.

There's something I wanted you to see.

I should have brought my oxygen mask.

Anything new since last we talked?

No, we still got the same dead -end alley.

I think I found possible continuity.

Like what?

A stripper and two waitresses were killed in the yo -yo club in Miami.

Two more in a club in Chicago.

All within the last year and a half.

Now, the connection is the fact that the bodies were arranged, posed as if for

photographs. I don't know.

Well, our killer has a motive.

I'm sorry, Pete. My mind was wandering off somewhere else. What?

Well, a friend of mine is offering me a job with a big law firm up here.

Doing what?

Well, same thing I'm doing now, but more paid.

Something tells me, Harry, this isn't your style. Why do you have to let him

know?

As soon as he moves in the office.

Hey, Pete, what about the flashbulbs? Anything there?

No leads.

Common bulbs.

Well, I think our chances of finding this one are about as slim as a volume

prehistoric history.

Well, our killer is a character with a repressed hostility toward his mother.

Where'd you come up with that, Pete?

I've been doing some reading on the necrophilius character.

What'd you find out?

Well, he's...

past is something he must keep running from.

One of the reasons for photographing the bodies could be a kind of checkpoint

for his sanity.

Freezing death on film could also be a way to give him a sense of power over

own life and those of his victims.

Hi, you Mike?

Yeah, yeah, I'm Mike.

From trike to bike, you name it.

Lieutenant White.

Look, I, uh... I want to find out if you have a customer that looks like this.

Oh, yeah, yeah, I showed out on the TV news, yeah.

Yeah,

well, yes or no, you know, we get a lot of hair in here, you know?

This fella have one of your matchbooks. Leave the line around?

No, but they get around.

You know, this face looks familiar.

Yeah, yeah, I remember now.

Now, either he or his brother came in here with a special crook -a -son

you know?

I never saw one of those before.

What about a work order?

No work order. I told him we couldn't help him. The damn thing was practically

broken in two.

Well, maybe he left an order for something.

No, no, no, no. I told him it would take weeks to get a replacement.

A name, a license number, anything on him? No.

No, no, no, no, no. He, uh, I think, yeah, yeah, he had a green Kawasaki.

68, uh, 69. I maybe got it.

Now, I wish I could help you.

Yeah, you have.

Listen, if anything comes up, uh, you give me a call, will you?

Yeah.

Thanks a lot.

You're welcome.

Why don't you take it back?

See what's up?

Case of witnesses?

Try again? Who knows?

As the old saying goes, they do, they do, they do.

Yeah, specialists usually like to put the girls on television, don't just do

Look, I don't control the media.

Can I help you?

Anything wrong?

No, everything's fine.

You got a Coke? Sure.

You know, I was thinking about those eyes.

Picture wasn't really right.

His eyes had a kind of crazy glaze to them.

That's right. The man's a schizophrenic.

So when the killer part of his personality takes over, his eyes change.

I bet your eyes change with your moods, too.

They change when I look at a cop.

You don't like cops?

Hey, didn't I see you on the tube yesterday?

The news, Sunday morning?

Yeah.

That really must have been awful.

Yeah, it was.

There's a lot of weird guys out there.

You ought to have someone around.

My friends here at the club stick pretty close.

Yeah, but when you leave the club, you really should have someone with you, you

know?

When do you get off?

I'm afraid long past your bedtime.

We see less and less of Dave all the time. Yeah, well, very few people get to

see too much of an intern.

Good night, Jeff.

Good night, Johnny.

Who is it?

It's me, honey, Dave.

Hi, sweetie baby.

How are you? I'm fine.

You miss me?

No.

I see you put the chain on the door.

Yeah, that's because you told me to. Well, you're finally beginning to pay

attention to what I tell you to do.

Listen, any news on Boo Boo's death?

No, nothing.

Are you scared?

Of course not.

How's things at the hospital?

Oh, not too bad.

They seem to think I'm a pretty bright subject.

And provided I don't make too many mistakes, I'll be able to leave Good

Samaritan. When?

Soon. Oh, Dave, that's wonderful.

Isn't it?

I have time to think about setting up our own practice.

Where? Oh, just about anywhere you like. Oh, anywhere but California.

Time just seems to drag here.

I swear, I can't even see one thing from the net.

It'll go even better once we're married.

Oh, yeah. I thought you forgot about that.

Putting me through med school and everything?

Dave, I wasn't just helping you. I was helping myself.

Oh, it's fun.

What's fun?

Life.

It'll go even better once you leave that swing -a -ling.

Don't talk about that place. I hated there.

What if I never have to go into a place like that after we're married?

You'll never have to go into a place like that after we're married, and that

a promise.

Is the boss in?

Uh, yeah. Why?

Looking for work.

Hey, Zito.

There's a fella here that says he's looking for work.

Oh, yeah?

Our dishwasher's quitting in a couple of days.

What do you think?

Living a dishwasher?

What's a dishwasher?

A dishwasher.

Oh.

Well, I was thinking of being a bouncer. I mean, I got the training.

You want to be a bouncer?

See, my partner and I takes care of any bouncing that's got to be done, see?

Hey, that's a good move.

Hey, that's good.

I tell you what, you can stay up front, okay, on paydays.

That's it, but no full -time bouncing. We need a full -time disher who doesn't

drink. I don't drink. How about dope hash coke?

No. About 24 an hour.

Oh. You mean as a disher? Yeah.

Okay.

Okay. All right.

Okay.

Come in on the side of you, okay?

What's your name?

Tom Breen. Tom. Okay, Tom.

Okay.

White guy.

That was my wife!

intellectual system. Are there any intellectual people out there? Put your

down. There's nobody that's an intellectual. Wait a minute. There's a

intellectual girl over there. Come right up on stage. Take a look at this.

Is that an intellect? There isn't. She's on balloon sales.

Balloons.

Okay. Now, why don't you tell these lovely people what your name is? Oh,

I kiss it.

I'm your new disher bouncer.

Hey, you better get out there. Yeah, yes.

Now, I want you to tell them that we've never seen each other before and you

don't know who I am. Right?

Wrong! You're the lousy resident comic of the week. And I use that term

advisedly.

Hey,

I'm sorry I'm late. Well, look, what I want is for you to nip things in the bud

before they can start.

Come things down by taking their minds off the beef, okay? Buy them a drink if

you have to.

I hold your future right here in the palm of my hand.

Watch your hand, you pervert!

It's not that hand you should be watching. It's this one.

Go.

All right. Now, moving right along with everything here. Why are you doing this

to me?

after all this time. Time? What time?

Time? Time?

The time I think is about... Ah, yes!

Three scotch on the rocks, Jack.

Three scotch rocks coming up. Hey, Jack, where does Vito pick up the talent?

Please, that's not the talent. It's all we can afford.

Susie sure didn't have much time to rehearse with that guy.

Well, I sure guess not.

Well, how about two bits for a kiss?

been kissed like that since I almost drowned in the cuckoo club.

What stopped you? I'll do the jokes if you don't mind.

I am a cop. Let me see your badge. Well, it's right here underneath the pair of

a fig leaf.

Listen,

I don't want to kid around about it because I'm not really that type of guy.

All I want to do is just get laid. Well, then you got the wrong chicken.

I said you do the lines and I'll do the jokes.

I'm just taking a break.

Get your ass to work.

Hey, hey. Look, look, Marie, I'm getting tired of you hiding in corners.

Oh, come on, just one little smoke.

Every time I look around, I see you sitting on your ass.

I work just as hard as any of those other girls, but you lean a little

me because I'm your old lady. Look, if you don't get up and go right now to

work, no, I'm going to put you back in the chorus.

Oh, well, I didn't think I ever left it.

This is unbelievable.

I want you to stop that. I want you to go back right now to go to work.

Why?

Because you and me come from the same place.

Hell. If that's the truth. Now get out of here. Right.

Listen, folks, if you think that one's funny, listen to this one.

How many times have you been late, kid?

Once.

I think I'll stick around because I think she's going to get up to 69.

All right, go to the dentist.

Hey, be a little nice.

All right, go home. Go home. Just take a shower. Take a swim.

All right. Go.

Jesus Christ. Say, you girls go, too. Go home, too, huh?

Okay, good night. I tell you what. One of this night, I'm going to sell out and

go to the South Seas.

Okay, go home. Hey, come on. Come on. Let me see.

Jesus Christ.

Let me see. You got a hell of an angle for your eye, huh? Oh, it's okay. It's

okay. Okay, okay.

You go home, too, huh? Hey, I'm fine. Jack and I is going to get our things.

I'm fine, really.

Go home. Get out of here.

Okay. You've got to pay your compensation.

I'll see you tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow's Sunday.

Okay, I'll see you Monday. Yeah, go home.

Jesus.

Hey, Tom.

Hey. I like the way you handled yourself tonight. Not bad.

I don't know what you're doing being a dishwasher.

I think you ought to be in the movies fighting like Bruce Lee.

Come on, don't make me laugh. My tooth still hurts.

Did I say something funny?

Uh -uh.

Not really.

What?

Stop that grinning.

Living the real thing?

You know, you're almost as funny as that joker up on the stage tonight.

Tonight. See ya.

I've seen that action, I tell you.

You could have seen the action, I tell you.

Did you see the look on the comic's face when he got hit by the bottle?

I'm rushing. My taxi doesn't arrive for 20 minutes.

Good night, guys. Good night, Susie.

Hi. Hi.

Thanks.

Oh.

Um.

Hey, uh, I could take you home.

It's cheaper than a cab.

You've got a car?

No, a bike.

Haven't you seen my bike? No.

Come on.

It's out of sight.

It's also out of sight. I'll show you.

It's not so great in the rain.

Are you from L .A.? No, but I sure am here to stay.

I was born in New Jersey.

Hawthorne. Ever hear of it? No. Ever hear of Okonomowo, Wisconsin?

What?

Okonomowo. No.

Then we're even.

Where does Dave come from?

San Francisco.

Ah.

kill the coyote.

Where's that?

Someplace in Korea.

Hi.

How about you?

Oh, I always wanted one.

What? One?

Two, but not two.

Brothers? Sisters?

What?

Maybe I could take you for a real spin up to Angeles National Park tomorrow.

thanks. But I have to spend Sunday with my parents. They bought this funky

little cabin up in Saugus, and I'm helping them decorate.

Terrific. I'll give you a ride.

Yeah, well, that would be up to Dave. Remember Dave?

Oh, yeah, Dave.

Well, whatever.

Thanks.

I thought you were gone.

I was just thinking, do you like photography?

Sure.

Why? Well, there's an exhibit of Victorian photographs out of the art

Are you a photographer?

Yeah, kind of.

More of a hobby.

Yeah? What do you photograph?

All kinds of things.

Girls.

The man's got culture.

Yeah, for a dishwasher.

Hey. You shouldn't talk that way about your job.

You are you, no matter what you do for a living.

And you are a pretty nice guy.

Remember that.

I'll remember.

I just thought you'd like to see that exhibit with me.

Tom, I'd love to see the show, but I've got a boyfriend and I don't go out with

other guys. You can understand that.

Sure, I can.

I really can.

There's not too many girls that stay faithful these days.

Thanks. There's not too many guys around who appreciate it.

Yeah, I guess.

Well, it's about that time.

Okay, I'm going.

Say, if you really would like some pictures taken, no charge.

Well, not really.

You know, you might talk to Susie or Marie.

They're the ones who might need some pictures.

Yeah.

Very.

What are you doing here?

Now I know why you don't like dishwashers.

What?

Because you're all washed up.

Marie, what are you doing there?

Jesus Christ, you're sure giving a shirt with the helicopters, huh?

Hey, what's the matter with you? Why don't you put a robe on it?

What are you, asleep?

Harness, put the rest over here in the cooler, will you? Okay.

How about breaking one open for a hot and thirsty old man?

What an incredible day.

So, how's the hospital business, son?

Pretty exclusive these days.

I had to work my way through reform school.

Mom, Dad, I've got a surprise for you.

Well, not until I leave Good Sam.

Well, how have things been going at the Ding -a -ling?

The Swing -a -ling, Mom.

Whatever it's called, it's a place my daughter shouldn't be working in.

One of these days I'm going to go down to Smogsville and see if it's really the

gentile place you guys say it is. Oh, it is, isn't it, Dave?

How you doing?

My knees are just about perfect. How about bringing over some plates?

Occasionally we'll get a couple of college pranksters in from the Midwest.

They can be a little rambunctious.

Wait a second.

Which? Oh, darn.

I'll get it. You keep dishing up the grub.

You need some help, Dad?

Okay. Yeah, yeah. Come on over.

Hey, wait. Wait.

country air, son.

Maybe a little dull for some of those nervous types.

Oh, not me. I love it.

You know, these days kids think that families are stupid, but I don't.

Yeah, some families are old -fashioned, but not me.

Hey, hon, what's the matter?

There's been a terrible accident.

One of the girls at the club where Jenny works was murdered.

Murdered? Who?

That girl Marie.

They said another murder.

When did it happen?

Sometime this morning.

She was drowned.

What do you mean another murder?

She means another barmaid.

Two of your co -workers were murdered?

Why don't you say something about this to me? I didn't want to worry you.

You didn't want to worry me?

How could you do this to us? Why didn't you say something about this to me? I

didn't know you didn't know. I thought Jenny would have told you.

Bet your sweet ass you're not going back there.

Dad, you don't understand.

You're not going back.

Listen, your dad is right.

Lieutenant White says Zito something or other was almost killed too.

Oh, I'm sorry, Dave. We have to go.

You're not going back there.

You're certainly not going back. They're my friend.

That son of a bitch split him wide open.

He can't move a muscle.

Well, it shouldn't be for too long.

In cases like this, there usually is some temporary paralysis.

All that boy wants to do is sit around playing chess.

Well, what do you want him to do?

Something positive.

I mean, the cops are just sitting around waiting for this guy to hit us again.

I guess the police know their business.

Look, Jack, the cops don't even know where he is. How do you expect... They

should fix it so they know.

How?

They should set a trap.

You've got to be kidding.

That nut isn't kidding.

Hey, why don't we all get out of here? I hate hospitals.

Listen, I think we should do something.

Like what?

I don't know.

Let's go over to the club and kick it around for a while.

Good. Way to reopen?

Who the hell can think at a time like this?

Let's make it a point to all meet tonight over at the club around 8 o

Hey, can we go in and see Zito?

No, he's still unconscious.

Is Susie still in there giving blood?

Yeah. Look, Lieutenant, Jenny's going back to her folks until you get this nut

under lock and key.

I don't think she should. I don't think anyone should leave town for a while.

Zito must have surprised the killer.

They had a fight, and the suspect got away.

If Zito comes to, he'll give me the clue I need. What do you mean, if?

If Zito comes to.

From now on, the girls will be under 24 -hour protection.

And in the meantime, we just sit around and wait for this guy to kill again,

right?

We know we have Peter, and the protection would be total.

All right, I don't think there's anything else we can do around here, so

don't you people leave, and I'll see you as soon as he gets home.

I was told that my brother was up here. This is intensive care, isn't it? Is he

the Mumalo?

Yes, we do have a Mr. Mumalo in room 405, but I can't allow you to see him.

Nurse, he's my brother. You've got to let me see him. I'm really sorry.

Oh, come on, just a couple of minutes. No one will know.

I'm sorry, I can't. Why don't you go to the desk downstairs, get written

permission, and then come back?

Before anything else, I'd like to offer a toast to Zito.

He was a great partner.

A great friend.

Was he able to tell the cops anything, Dave?

No, he never came to.

Well, one thing for sure.

This guy we're after is really smart.

The guy we're after, I thought he was after us.

Well, the cops aren't doing anything.

What do you have in mind, Jack?

Well, like I said at the hospital, the cops are only acting passively, putting

up a wall of squad cars around the girls, waiting for the killer to strike

again.

Oh, are you suggesting we take the initiative?

We have to set the trap.

Oh, come on, Jack.

With all due respect, we'd come off looking like a bunch of amateur

And some innocent bystander just might get hurt.

Let's... let's hear the plan anyway.

Okay.

You all know the tennis courts over in the park?

Sure, I play there all the time.

Right. And our pigeon is smart enough to already know that.

So what, Jack?

So the girls are playing tennis.

We fake an emergency call, draw the police cars off...

The killer makes his move, we're all around, ready to jump him.

That sounds awful risky, Jack.

That sounds ridiculous.

Not only that, it's illegal.

I'm game.

I can't play tennis.

So Susie can be teaching you.

Now just hold it.

Now Jenny's not going to be any bait for any half -witted traps, so forget it,

Jack.

I'm still game.

Okay, so we send Jenny back to the desert.

And that takes care of one police car right off.

Jack, what makes you think the killer's going to fall for it? He's watching us.

You betcha. He's probably got one of those sick calculating faggot minds.

Faggot?

Sure. They make the best interior decorators. A classic type.

The protection we've got now would be his only chance.

I've got a .30 -30 that can drop an elk at 1 ,500 yards.

Not to mention faggots.

I mean, you people are unbelievable.

You sound as crazy as he is.

You could all wind up in jail.

Dave, if we can get him, it'll be worth it.

Yeah, I'll have to agree with that.

Me too.

How about you, Tom?

I'll go along.

Susie, do you mean to tell me you've got the guts to set yourself up like that?

Sure, why not? If you've got the guts to stand by the boys in the ambush, of

course Dave's got the guts.

Dave? Well, I think you're all nuts.

I mean, he won't show up, and one of you is bound to get hurt.

But okay, I'll go along.

Okay, so that's it.

Tom, do you think you can draw off the police cars?

Oh, sure.

No sweat. I'll just do some big -ass wheeling, take off like a bird.

I'll make them an offer they can't refuse.

I'll come back, and we got them.

When do we go, tomorrow?

Wish I could.

I'll be at Key West Studios all day tomorrow.

Hey, you got a part? A comic from the other night got me the part.

Eight whole lines.

Terrific. Okay, so we go the next day.

Oh, I won't have time between now and then to get Jenny back to her folks.

Isn't there a but? Hey, hey, I can take her.

I don't know if that's such a good idea. We'd have a police escort the whole

way. Yeah, just like a parade.

Of course, I'll have to get right back. I wouldn't want to miss nailing that

faggot. Oh, we'll get him.

I'll get him with that police special I have behind the bar.

Right, Jack. Don't ask me how we're going to get the invitation to him.

We don't have to.

Listen, he's watching us at home, here.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he had this place bugged.

Los Angeles Police. I'm escorting a witness in the car behind.

Oh, okay. Just park over there.

I thought you were just going to...

Susie, good job.

Anytime.

You'll be back. That's a promise.

Goodbye now.

You too.

Don, will you help me in the lot? Take about 30 minutes.

Good night.

It's not night yet, Susie.

Who is that?

You were good.

Really believable.

Who is that?

You could fool anyone.

You know, you almost had me believing I was a faggot.

You got it.

You win the award. The Academy Award.

What in God's name are you doing here?

Just wanted to see a movie studio and to see you work.

Gee, it's too bad.

What do you mean?

So much talent with such a short career.

Tom, you sound absolutely crazy.

Are you on something?

You still don't get it, do you?

Is this some kind of a game you're playing?

No, stupid.

Look, Tom, it's been a long day. Look, I think we both need a rest. You're not

going anywhere, stupid.

Look, I don't know what's gotten into you, but I'm not sticking around to find

out. You stupid bitch, you're not going anywhere.

The greatest play I ever saw. Billy Johnson at third, Rizzuto at short,

at the bat. Listen, what time did they finish on stage seven?

Man, seven? They wrapped a long time ago.

Crap! Come on.

Good afternoon, officers. Keeping you sharp watch?

Who are you?

It's okay. I just came to pick up Jenny.

That's a nice bike you've got there.

I like it.

Green's my lucky color.

How long have you had it?

God, I don't know. A couple of years, give or take a few months.

Can I see some registration, please?

Sure.

There you go.

Hi, Tom. Hi. You ready?

Uh -huh. There, you see? She knows me. What's wrong?

Nothing, ma 'am. Just routine.

Uh, excuse me, ma 'am. Where are you going? To my parents' house.

I'd better check with the lieutenant.

I asked him. He said it'd be okay for a couple of days.

You want Dr. Lieutenant White?

Okay. Harry, it's for you, hospital.

I'll finish up what you're doing and get her down from there. Okay.

Hey, hello.

Yeah, Lieutenant White here.

Right, Doctor.

I see.

Yeah, I understand. I'll be down there as soon as I can get there.

We just got a report on the autopsy and Zito was not killed as a result of the

beating. How did he die?

I don't know. That's what I'm going to go down there and find out now.

Let me tell you something.

I swear to you, this is one bastard I'm going to get.

How do you do? Nice to meet you.

How are you? I'm fine.

Oh, it's cold out here. Let's go inside.

Yeah, my mom's got bare feet.

What on earth are you doing out at 3 o 'clock in the morning? Do you think we

could sleep knowing you were coming?

So is there any news?

No, nothing yet.

Maybe she heard you go back.

Yeah, right.

We were counting on them to help us solve this case.

Oh, yeah, really.

I'm so sick of all this sex and violence.

What's California coming to anyway?

It's not just California.

It's all over. It's the whole world.

Love is trying to keep pace with the violence, and it's losing.

It's the Romans all over again.

I've stopped some fresh coffee.

You know, everyone's getting violent. You know why?

It's because they can't find any love.

One of these days, the whole world is going to be full of killers. The only

survivors are going to be the ones with the most skill and practice.

I've begun to believe in that lately, too.

Well, I'll be dead and gone by then.

Don't talk like that.

I'm just so sick of this talk.

This is as long as Jenny's safe.

I'm going to knock it off. I have to get to bed early.

Not early tomorrow.

I think you mean today. The sun's going to be out soon.

You're going to come to bed, huh?

Go on, dear. I don't want to sleep.

I think I'll take a shower and then I'll fix a giant breakfast for these kids.

Tom's going to have to leave soon.

Don't you have something you have to do in the morning? No, I got plenty of

time.

You know, if I was that killer, boy, I'd be hightailing after the boondocks

about now.

Yes, but he's not as smart as you are. He's just crazy.

When the coffee's done, pour yourselves a cup.

I won't be long.

Dr. Milton, please.

Would you please wait in the lobby? I'll page it for you. Thank you.

Paging Dr.

Melton. Please report to the front desk.

Dr. Melton.

Paging. Please report to the front desk.

Paging Dr.

Melton. Please report to the front desk.

Lieutenant.

Lieutenant.

Doc, I didn't think this should wait.

Go ahead.

Originally, I thought the victim had died as a result of his injuries.

We all did. We all figured it was internal bleeding from the beating.

Yes, it was.

But there was no clot on the heart or the aorta. What else could it be,

I'm not positive, but every sign points to heart failure as a result of an air

embolism. How does that happen? By the introduction of air into the

Of course, we'd never be able to prove it.

Were you trying to tell me it was done deliberately?

That's right.

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

You mean he was murdered right here in the hospital?

By someone with medical knowledge?

Sure, but not necessarily.

Is Dr.

Smith in the hospital?

Dr. Paul or Dave?

Dr. David Smith.

Yes, but he's assisting in surgery right now.

How long will that take?

Probably about another hour.

I'll wait.

Thanks a lot, Doctor.

Never mind.

No, go ahead. What?

Have you ever thought of what it would be like being a doctor's wife?

Yeah, I got a pretty good idea.

It's hell.

One of my foster fathers was a doctor.

You'll be miserable.

I guess I'm going to find out pretty soon anyway.

Listen, I know.

You're too good.

You're too good for a life like that.

What do you mean, too good?

Are you kidding?

Working in that cesspool of a club and staying clean and pure?

Do you know how almost impossible that is?

I mean...

surrounded by whores and drunks, and none of it's rubbed

off on you.

Do you know how almost impossible that is?

You deserve a guy who would take care of you like some beautiful

orchid.

Someone who would really appreciate who you are.

Thank you. He appreciates me.

Dr. Melton filled me in. What do you want to know, Lieutenant?

Where were you at the time?

I was with Jenny.

Where were you at the time of Marie's death?

Look, Lieutenant, if I'm a suspect, I'd like to point out that I was working at

the hospital when Boo Boo was killed.

Look, I checked your claim. I know.

All right, who else besides the hospital staff has access to that patient's

room? No one, and as far as we know, there were no relatives.

Doctor, do I have to put the whole hospital staff under house arrest to

what's going on around here?

Lieutenant, no one was allowed in that room. No one? Hell, man, somebody got in

there and killed Zito. He's dead.

After the brawl at the

club, Jack stayed around cleaning up until he was called to the hospital.

You've all known each other a long time, right?

I'd say so, yes.

Except Tom, of course. He started to work after Boo Boo's death.

I know that.

Well, I didn't. Not until the meeting at the club last night.

What meeting?

Well, there was a meeting at Jack's club.

We got together and Jack wanted to plan some sort of trap to catch the killer.

Pretty stupid.

Tom was to take Jenny out to her parents and come right back.

I gave Jenny permission to see her folks, but I didn't hear anything about

taking her. That's why I didn't have time to take her, so we thought it best

keep it quiet in the interest of secrecy.

When we left the hospital, Tom was the only one that stayed behind.

So?

So I don't know.

Listen, Lieutenant, if you're thinking that Tom had anything to do with this...

Look, what's going on?

All my life I wanted to love someone.

I get just so close and something happens inside me.

Has that ever happened to you?

No.

You're the first girl I ever met.

It wasn't dirty underneath.

Hey, I think it's time we got some sleep.

Jenny, please listen to me.

You probably won't believe this.

I need someone like you.

I need you.

I'll get it.

Don't bother.

I'll get it.

Hello?

Hi, Sally?

Yeah, this is Dave. How are you?

Fine, good.

Listen, just answer yes or no.

Is Tom there?

Yes, why?

Look, nothing's wrong, but I'm going to put Lieutenant White on the phone.

Pretend you're still talking to me. Just answer yes or no.

Hello, Ms. Malone?

This is Lieutenant White.

Look, I want you to do exactly as Dave said.

Try and stay very, very calm.

Tom may be a suspect.

So if for any reason he tries to leave the house alone, you let him go.

If he tries to take Jennifer with him, you stall him.

That's why I don't think any of you are in any danger. I figure it's better to

play it safe.

Okay, Dave.

Do you want to talk to her?

No, no, I don't want to talk to her.

We don't want to frighten her.

Look, you tell her that Dave wants her to bring something back to town with

Well, sure, Dave.

I'll tell her.

It was nice of you to call.

Listen, we'll be there just as soon as we can.

Bye.

That was Dave.

He was in a rush. He couldn't talk to you.

He wants you to bring back some of my strawberry preserves when you go back to

town.

Is that why he called you at 5 .30 in the morning?

Boy, I'd like to have some of those preserves myself.

Well, I'll put in some toast.

Who the hell was that on the phone at 5 .30 in the morning?

It was Dave.

He wants me to bring back some strawberry preserves.

What? Mr. Malone, I think Dave's afraid that the killer's on his way here, and

he didn't want your wife to frighten Jenny.

Do you have a gun?

Mom! Is that what he said?

Yes, that's what he said.

I'll get my shotgun.

Use caution. The suspect could be dangerous.

I better check in.

This is Baker 4 -1.

No need to get excited. We can take care of it.

Just what exactly did Dave say? He said you might be coming this way.

Oh, my God!

Me? Shut down! It's him!

Get over there!

Let's go.

Get over there.

Jenny, open the door. No.

Shut up. Open the door. Jenny, no.

Shut up.

No, Jenny. Open it. Shut up.

No.

Freeze.

Throw the gun here.

Mr. Breen, I suggest you reconsider. Just throw the gun here or I'll blow

head off.

Now, move to the car.

The suspect is driving south towards the San Bernardino Freeway. The hostage is

still with him.

Shit.

Hang in there, D. We're not going to do anything to hurt Jenny.

How could I have been so damn stupid?

They think they got us.

They don't know what we got. We got love, Jenny. I love you. I love you.

Stop. Stop. What are you doing?

Stop that, Jenny. You'll get us killed.

Let go. Let go.

Jenny. Run.

Run.

Okay, okay, here! I know you! It's your fault!

No! You! You! You! No!
