In local news, Las Vegas police report

that the so-called black cat killer has

claimed a second victim. Witnesses say a

figure dressed in helmeted in black

entered a men's clothing store operated

by Robert Anderson just before closing

and shot.

We'll have more details on this story as

they become available. The Clark County

Planning Commission held hearings today

Hey,

>> Nothing to it.

>> All right, Dan,

>> Great.

>> Let's let it ride.

Hello,

>> Dan. It's Binser. Um Dave Nelson called

here a minute ago. Be just got shot.

>> Shot?

>> Yeah. Uh in her house or something. She

must have walked in on a burglar.

>> Where is she, Vince?

>> She's um

they're taking her to the hospital. But

Nelson is still at her house and he

wants you to call him. Okay. He said

it's pretty bad,

>> right?

>> Lieutenant Nelson.

>> Dave. Dan. How is she?

>> I'm going give it to you straight, Dan.

According to the paramedics, it's touch

and go as to whether or not she makes it

to the hospital.

>> I'm on my way.

Hey,

>> do you know who did it? Did you see who

did it?

>> It was dark.

>> Okay. Okay. Don't try to talk. All

right.

>> Want to die?

>> No. No. No. You're not going to die.

>> Hey, not with me around.

Besides, you got my files too screwed

up, huh?

be. Hey, hey, hey, be, don't close your

eyes.

>> Try to concentrate, huh? Concentrate on

something. Uh,

>> hey. Uh, remember that little kitten you

brought by? Uh, you were thinking about

adopting?

>> Well, I I I'll tell you, I think you

should do it. And I

>> I think you should. And I tell you what,

I I'll even help you housebreak him.

Okay.

>> You're going to have to get out of here

now. We'll keep you informed.

Visitors from eternity. The floor is now

open.

>> Doc, how is she?

>> Bullet was lodged in the abdomen. She

came through the operation. All right.

But she's still a very sick young lady.

>> Um, is she going to be okay? Depends on

whether or not there are complications.

Can we see her?

>> Not yet. She still has a long way to go.

>> Doc, if her condition changes, you have

somebody call me. I'll see that you're

notified. Thank you.

>> I worked with those reports all night

long and I still came up empty.

>> What about the neighbor who says he saw

a motorcycle leave the scene?

>> It's in the report. The man who was

killed was named Robert Anderson. He ran

a men's clothing shop. He was shot down

a week ago when he was closing up the

store. Two witnesses saw a black

motorcycle pulled out of the alley just

about the time of the shooting.

>> Wait a second. That's the same

description Bee's neighbor gave. That's

got to be more than a coincidence.

>> That's right. And there's more to it.

It's a school teacher named Caroline

Lester. She was shot down in her

apartment Tuesday night approximately

8:00 p.m. The witness heard a motorcycle

pull out of the alley just about the

same time.

>> Dave, damn it. It's got to tie in then.

That's what I keep telling myself, Dan.

But there's no common denominator. As

far as I can determine, these two

victims did not even know each other.

>> Well, what about a motive?

>> We struck out there, too. Miss Lester

had $80 in her purse. Anderson was

wearing a very expensive watch, and it

was over $300 in the cash register.

>> What does B have to do with any of these

people?

>> You come up with an answer to that, my

man. And I can get off of square one.

>> I intend to, Dave. Ben,

how's Bee's daughter?

>> Julie's back east for a couple of weeks

visiting her grandma.

>> You let me know if I can do anything,

won't you?

>> Yeah, thanks.

>> All right.

You're Dantana, the private

investigator, aren't you?

>> Uh, yes. Uh, Miss Davis worked for you.

Do you believe that this shooting had

anything to do with a case you're

working on? Maybe.

>> Look, there's uh no comment at this time

that police are working on.

>> What about these rumors we've been

hearing about a black cat killer? Can

you tell?

>> As far as I'm concerned, it's just

rumors. Will you excuse me?

I'm Jennifer Stallings,

>> but I like to be called Jennifer. What

can I do for you, Miss Tollins?

>> You want the long version or the short?

>> The short. I've got a lot on my mind.

>> I know. I heard about your secretary,

Miss Travis.

>> I'm a freelance writer. I'd like to

cover the story, and I was hoping you'd

be able to give me some information.

>> Look, I'll tell you the same thing I

told the other reporters. No comments

now.

>> I don't want any comments. I was hoping

I could ask you for a favor.

>> What kind of favor?

>> Promise you won't get mad.

>> Not without good reason. Well, I

thought, well, maybe if I could just

scoop these reporters just once, it

would do wonders for my career. And

maybe I could even get a steady job in a

newspaper. And because of what happened

to your secretary, I knew you'd be

investigating these murders. And

I guess I fell into the long version.

>> You've done everything but get to the

point.

>> I was wondering if I could tag along

with you for a couple of days.

>> That's not possible.

>> Why? I won't get in the way. I could

even help.

All I want to do is observe.

>> Look, Miss Stallings, uh, Jenny, I've

got a lot of ground to cover this week.

All right.

>> Well, I'm good at that. Please, Mr.

Tanner, if I cause you one minute of

trouble, or you can just kick me out of

the car.

>> That won't be necessary cuz you won't be

in the car.

>> Sorry.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Cut the music. I'll take Linda and Laura

over here, please. And you can take

five. You girls, you can just rest in

the area over there. That'll be fine. We

got to get this dance right now.

Miss Lester,

>> can I talk to you for a minute?

>> My name is Tana. I'm a private

investigator.

>> It's about your sister.

>> I've already told the police everything

I know. Would

>> you mind telling me? See, someone I'm

very fond of is in the hospital and uh

we don't know if she's going to make it

or not.

>> What does that have to do with my

sister?

>> Well, I think it's possible that they

were both shot by the same man.

>> Are you referring to the black cat

killer they've been talking about on

television?

>> Yes.

Miss Lester, according to the police

report, you last saw your sister the

morning of the night she was killed.

>> She said she was going to a singles bar.

She dropped by to borrow one of my

dresses.

She was wearing it when they found her.

>> Do you know if anything was missing from

her apartment?

>> The police drove me there. I couldn't

find anything missing.

>> Did your sister have a special

boyfriend?

>> Not really. Caroline was always more

comfortable curled up with a book.

>> Doesn't sound like you're describing a

girl who'd even go to a singles bar.

Well, with with Caroline, you had to

talk yourself blue in the face to get

her to go anywhere. I practically had to

push her on the plane to get her to take

a vacation.

>> Miss Lester, I have one more question,

and forgive me for being blunt, but do

you know of anyone who would have a

reason for wanting your sister dead?

>> No, Mr. Tana, no one.

>> Okay, take it from the top.

>> I hope your friend makes it.

>> Thank you.

Five, six, seven, eight.

>> He's going into cardiac arrest. Call a

code blue.

>> Not now. Get out of this room.

Donna.

>> Hi Jan.

>> Hi. How you doing?

It's not my brother, isn't it?

>> Yeah. I

>> just keep trying to pretend he really

isn't dead. But I guess I'm just not

very good at it.

>> Donna, you know, my secretary be was

shot.

>> Yes. I'm sorry, Dan. How is she?

>> Well, I called the hospital about an

hour ago. She made it through a cardiac

arrest, but she's still critical.

Don, I think there's some kind of link

between the two shootings.

>> I know. Well, Lieutenant Nelson told me

about those other people who were shot,

and I've been seeing it on the TV and in

the papers.

>> That's what I want to ask you about.

See, the police didn't find anything

missing from your brother's store. The

cash register wasn't touched. Do you

know if there was anything of value

there that we might have missed?

>> Not that I know of.

I I just can't understand why anyone

would want to kill Robert. Danny worked

his tail off trying to make a go of that

store. I had to practically force him to

take some time off.

Did he take a vacation?

>> Yeah, he got back a few days ago.

>> Where did he go?

>> Aapulco. He went with uh some group on a

tour arranged by some travel agency.

>> Dan, does that mean something?

>> Ta. I've been looking for some kind of

link between these killings. Be just got

back from a vacation in Aapulko.

>> I don't understand.

>> I talked to a sister of one of the other

victims. She said that she just got back

from a vacation. I'm going to call and

check, but I'll lay odds it was Akapuka.

Donna, did your brother bring anything

back from Mexico? Uh, souvenirs,

presents, curios.

>> All he brought back was this. It was a

present for me.

>> Sorry.

What are you doing here? How did you

know I was here?

>> I followed you. I hope you don't mind.

>> Well, as a matter of fact,

>> please, Mr. Tana, if I could break this

story, it could change my whole life.

>> Jenny, no. I don't work that way.

Can't you give anybody a break?

>> I don't work with a partner.

>> What are you really saying, Mr. Tana? No

one ever broke a rule for you. You never

had a break.

>> Remember, I don't really need your

permission. I could just follow you.

>> Well, you are persistent, aren't you?

>> Okay, but we do it my way. All right.

>> Agreed.

>> You don't go anywhere where I feel is

not safe.

>> Deal.

Okay,

>> where do we start?

>> My secretary's house.

>> Miss Travis, how is she?

>> Not very well, I'm afraid.

>> Sorry to hear that.

>> I should call Bins. Have him meet us

there.

>> Well, why are we going there?

>> To look for something. Be went on a

vacation to Aapulko recently. The other

two victims, the ones that were killed,

they were in Aapulko, too. It's the only

link we have.

>> Do you have any idea what you're looking

for?

>> No. Just hope to get lucky.

Oh, Vins.

>> Dan.

>> Vince. This is Jenny Stallings. This is

Venzer, my associate.

>> Hi. How do you do?

>> Hi. Nice to meet you.

>> Nice meeting you.

>> Don't just stand there. Start looking.

>> What are we looking for? Did he bring

anything back from Mexico except those

silly souvenirs she gave us?

>> No, just the candle holders and a hat

and sombrero and uh sandals.

>> Nothing else, huh?

>> Well, no. She said she didn't do any

shopping there, you know. She just went

for rest and to get some sun and she

took some pictures and had pictures

taken pictures.

>> Well, tourist pictures. They're over

here. I'll show you. It was just

pictures of of be and some people

standing in front of a church, you know,

like a national landmark or something

like that

>> here. I think it was called San

Sebastian. The town was called Tasco.

They're gone. They're not here. Hey,

look. They were here yesterday. I I saw

them. Vince, how many people were in

these pictures? I don't know. Um, be and

a woman. Another woman and three men.

Amen.

>> I don't see where you're going with

this. Think about it. Why would someone

break in this house, try to kill Bee to

steal a picture?

Well, maybe it wasn't just a picture.

How do you know it wasn't something else

that was taken?

>> I don't. But that's how we got to going.

Bins, I want you to track down this

travel agent who booked the tour. Find

out the names and addresses of everybody

who was on it.

>> Why? Because it's the only connective

link we've got. Will you just do it,

please?

>> I'll do it. Yeah. I was just asking a

question, that's all.

>> Hey. Hey,

I'm sorry. All right.

>> I know. It's all right. Uh, she's my

friend, too, you know.

Nice to meet you.

>> Mhm. Bye.

>> I'll see you later.

>> A picture of tourists in front of a

church. It just doesn't make sense.

>> Maybe it does to the killer.

>> Look, you're going to have to be on your

own for a while. I've got to do some

errands and check on me.

Hello.

One more.

Her

vital signs are much more stable. Looks

like she may be over the crisis.

B,

it's Dan. Can you hear me?

Hi. Yeah. Yeah. I want you to try to

remember something that's very

important.

You understand what I'm saying?

>> Yeah.

>> Good.

Now, B, remember when you went to that

old church in Toxco? There were some

people with you. Do you remember those

people? Who they were?

>> Huh?

now. Did you see or hear anything

unusual at the church?

>> Better go now. She needs to rest.

Heat.

Heat.

Hi.

>> Hi.

>> Where too? So, out to the DI for some

brunch. Got to meet Benzer.

>> Did he get anywhere with that list of

names?

>> Oh, we'll find out soon enough.

>> Oh, you mentioned yesterday you were

going to the hospital to see your

secretary. How is she?

>> Uh, much better. Thank you.

>> That's great news.

Take

>> Hi.

>> Howdy. Listen, I got that list you

wanted. The names and addresses of the

people who went on the Aapulco tour with

me.

>> Very good.

>> How are you?

>> All we got to do now is narrow it down

to the people who took the side trip

with the the ones who were still alive.

That is

>> I've already done it.

>> Thank you.

>> How'd you do that?

>> I talked to the tour director. He's the

one that made the arrangements for the

trip to Tasco.

>> Very impressive. I hope it helps.

Thanks. See you.

>> I think Nelson should know about this

list.

Look, I've got to be getting back to my

typewriter. I'll check with you later.

>> Don't you want something else?

>> No, thanks. I'm fine.

>> Thanks, Marie.

Lieutenant Nelson.

>> Dave, I think I got something. Of the

four people who took the side trip with

Bee, the ones in the picture, two are

still alive.

>> I think they're going to need some

protection. James Maynard and

>> Hold it.

>> You're a little late with Maynard.

>> He just got hit.

>> Then we're down to one name on the list.

Enright. Mickey Enrich.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah. He's not new to me. In fact, his

face used to decorate my office all the

time. Petty theft, breaking and

entering.

Nothing serious.

I understand he's gone straight. He's

now selling used cars.

>> I've got a question for you.

>> Why the hell would five people having

their picture taken together make them a

target?

>> I don't know, Dave.

All right.

Endright's got protection.

>> Thanks.

Well, get out of here.

>> Yeah.

>> Jenny Stallings, Mr. Burner.

>> Oh, Jenny.

Screwed up, huh?

When you came down here to take the

contract, you were touted as the best

shooter in the business.

>> What is that supposed to mean? I

shouldn't have to remind you that four

are down.

>> Wrong. My people call and tell me you

got sloppy.

Now, one of them is selling in the

hospital.

>> I'll take care of it.

>> Now, listen.

One of those creeps sent me that letter.

Now, my face is known all over the

world. Now, anybody in that picture

could identify me.

>> I said I would take care of it. That

leaves just one more. Enright.

>> What about him?

>> He's gone underground,

>> but I've been holding hands with a PI

who knows his town a lot better than I

do. He's a smart cookie. I latched on to

him to make sure he wouldn't get too

close.

Sooner or later, he'll lead me to

Enright.

>> I want you to get those negatives. Now,

when you finish the contract, if you

finish, I want you to get on a plane and

handdel those negatives personally.

>> I'll just need a few more days.

>> Oh, one more thing. If you blow this,

you'll be the next one taken out.

Vince.

>> Oh, hi. How are you?

>> Did you find Henry yet?

>> No, I haven't found him. What about that

lady he hangs out with?

>> She hasn't heard from him. It's really

strange. It's like It's like he fell

into a well and disappeared.

>> James Maynard, the tour photographer,

he's dead. That makes Enright the last

person on the list who's alive. So, we

got to find Enright before the killer

does. All right.

>> I'll stay right on top. Oh. Uh, you know

that really good-look lady, Jenny

Stallings? Yeah. She called a couple

times. She wants you to call her back.

Hey Joe, use a phone. Huh?

>> You got it.

>> Hello.

>> Hi, Jenny. This is Dan Tenner. You were

trying to reach me.

>> Hi, Dan. Yeah, I was just sitting here

working on my story and I was wondering

how your secretary was doing. Well, I

talked to the doctor about an hour ago.

She's going to make it.

>> Well, that's great news. How's

everything else doing?

>> Well, I wouldn't exactly call it

progress. The police turned up another

body from the list. James Maynard.

>> Oh my god, the photographer. Why would

anyone want to kill him?

>> What?

Uh, I don't know. I'm still working on

the other victims. Uh, look, if anything

develops, I'll call you. All right.

>> Okay.

Your face is very funky.

>> Yeah. What's the matter?

>> Yeah.

>> Jenny Stallings never saw that list you

gave, did she?

>> No.

>> She just referred to James Maynard as a

tour photographer.

>> She couldn't have. She couldn't have

known that.

>> She couldn't have.

Nelson said that Maynard was killed

shortly after he turned from a business

trip. I'm laying odds that the killer

was looking to the negatives.

>> Damn. You don't think the killer is

Jenny Stallings?

>> I don't know, Bins, but I'm going to

have a talk with her. Come on.

>> Yeah.

It's a black cat murders by Jennifer

Stallings.

>> Maybe she is a freelance writer. And

maybe this is just window dressing to

fool anybody who might happen to invite

themselves in here.

>> Vince, this just about does it.

>> What? Jennifer Stallings went to Aapokco

2 days after the tour got back. She

stayed one day. She told me she'd never

been to Aapokco.

Lady's a phony. Get on the phone. Call

Nelson. Tell him to get some troops over

to the hospital and give me Jenny's

description.

>> You think she's going to go after be

again?

>> I told her that Bee was all right. That

means Be is still a target.

Dr. Red, report to Dr. Mar

administration.

Nurse Barlet, call physical therapy on

214.

Orderly not assigned to duty. Report to

emergency.

Dr. Smith, call your office.

Nurse Hall, call your station. Nurse

Hall, call your station.

J.

32 red is even

>> Daniel. Well, looks like you got a hot

streak going.

>> The system I learned playing with Prince

Rier, would you believe even has come up

six straight times?

>> Amazing.

>> Sorry to hear about be.

Is anything I can do?

>> Well, as a matter of fact, there's a

character by the name of Mickey Enight.

Recycle junkie. Used to be in hot cars.

Strictly a lightweight.

>> Yeah, I've read a sheet. What I need to

know is where I can find him.

>> Right here is straight. Why would he go

under?

>> Because he's very scared right now.

>> 32 is even.

>> And that makes seven in a row.

>> Uh James about Mickey Enrich

>> used to have a partner Timothy Real owns

a little hotel downtown. All of it goes

on even.

>> Most hotels have names.

Some a little fancier than the rooms.

Take the Kazbar for instance. That's

foolish boy.

Nine is odd.

>> I figured odd was about due.

Heat.

Heat.

Excuse

me.

>> You want a room?

>> No. I want to talk to somebody staying

here. You got a name?

>> Yeah, Mickey Enright.

>> I don't got anybody registered here by

that name.

Uh,

>> look, pal, we can do it the hard way or

the easy way. Now, how do you want it?

>> You a cop?

>> No, but I have a friend who is. Now, do

you want me to shut this place down for

harboring an accomplice to a murder?

>> Who the hell are you anyway?

>> Somebody who wants to talk to Mickey

right now. What room's he in?

Hey,

>> WHAT ROOM'S HE IN?

>> 311. 311

creep.

You should never open the door without

asking who's there.

>> Who's there? What do you want?

>> My name is Tana and I want some answers.

>> All right, ask the questions.

>> Let's start with who you're hiding from.

>> Who's hiding?

>> You are. And I even know why. Because

your name is the last one on the list.

>> I don't know from any list.

>> Do you know how easy it was for me to

find you? Do you know how easy it would

be for this black cat killer to find

you? I suggest you talk to me

>> about what?

>> Aapulco.

>> Where are the negatives?

>> I I Oh. Oh. Oh. I'll show you. All

right. All right. I'll show you. I

>> Nice and slow. Yeah. Yeah.

THERE'S A

THE MAN in the background.

Auggie Brener.

Okay. So, I knew it was Brener. I I saw

as soon as I saw him in front of that

church, I uh uh

Oh, I'll give you Brener. Brener, big

union bos supposed to be blown up on

that boat on Lake Me.

>> He staged the whole stunt just to save

himself 20 years in a federal prison. Is

that it? And you found out where he was

staying in Alapulco, sending this

picture along with your anonymous

business proposal. Either he pays off or

this picture goes to the newspaper.

Well, come on, Tanner. What's that

$100,000 to a big high roller like him?

Huh?

It depends on how much value you place

on a human life. Look, I didn't know

those other people were going to get

hit.

>> Hey, Mickey. It had to work that way.

How is Brener supposed to know which of

you sent the picture? Huh?

Let's go.

>> Where are we going?

>> Downtown.

>> Friend of mine. You'll like him. He's a

cop.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. HEAT.

I had you wired. You just got lucky. You

think it's over, don't you? Well, you're

wrong. Okay, so maybe they give me 10 to

20 years. I'll be eligible for parole in

eight. Couple years off for good

behavior and then I'll be back 10. I'll

be there just for you. But that's a

threat I can live with. Let's go.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

OH,

WOW.

You know, the whole time I was in the

hospital recuperating, something kept

bugging me.

>> Something I said?

>> No, it was something he said.

>> What?

>> You remember?

>> No, I don't. What?

>> Well, I don't exactly remember, but

something about how I kept screwing up

your files.

>> Oh, be that was a joke.

>> Was it?

>> Not.

>> But I thought

Well, I think you're going to pay for

that.

You know, there is something else we

talked about that I don't think you

remember.

>> What?

>> What?

>> Open it up.

>> Oh, no. He's that cute. But now I

remember something else. Something about

how you were going to help me house

break him.

>> Her.

>> Whatever.

>> Do a cute thing, huh?

I think she's ready for her first

lesson.

Heat.

Heat.
