Tonight on Spencer for Higher.

AHHHHH

The Alipanastica on the line provide private security

that I can vouch for personally. The sponsor of private cop.

My witness is the wife of a prominent member of the organization.

Who hired a hawker's backup? Hawker's the best.

Somebody try to cure you once a baby to keep on trying.

The intent of blowing me away along with the witness. Spencer, are you all right?

I love you, Sus. I love your tooth. You're a killer woman? No.

No!

Ooh!

No!

I'm just a man of the letter 17, hell on him.

on it.

I'm sorry.

The boxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests.

The son of man have not where to lay his hands.

I could remember if it was from Luke or John, but it

looked like I just joined a very exclusive club.

It was Matthew and reading the rest of the chapter before I fell asleep.

Help me get over the feeling I had when I watched

almost everything I own go up and smoke.

I tried to drown the rest in my thoughts and beer, but that never really works.

And the alcohol in my blood didn't make an August night embossed in any cooler.

Thanks, sir.

Thanks, Spencer.

You believe this heat?

Hey, I went by your apartment and got a little

hot there last night too, I guess, huh?

Come on in, Sergeant.

Yeah, conditioning. This is no. Well, first class clients, you've got to keep up

a first class front. Yeah, yeah. It's really looking like the Ritz.

You know, maybe if you're lucky, Spencer,

you can get the guy to watch your apartment

and come by and burn this place down too. Get yourself in the drink, Frank.

Or warm tap water, maybe, a splash of baking soda. You can get yourself dressed.

Nine o'clock, Matt. It looks kind of to be late. Matt? Frank.

So far, all we've established is that you did not come by for a social drink.

We have yet to devolve just what the hell is you do? I got my orders.

You know, Spencer, my orders are to pick you up. On Sunday morning for what?

How about I make it?

Living in a dump that ain't zoned for residential.

How about I balance you out of here and charge police

brutality? I'll be in a car.

Rating cat.

Part of my work is solving mysteries.

But I didn't have a clue as to what I could do for Marty Quirk on a Sunday morning

that he couldn't do for himself.

federal prosecutor named Farrell? Yeah, Megan Farrell. Well, an order freak.

What mind being the first lady governor of the Commonwealth?

She has just been appointed deputy chief to an organized crime strike force.

Not nice for her. She's got a witness that's giving secret testimony

to the grand jury she needs a bodyguard for 24 hours.

And you don't have the manpower? Farrill

doesn't trust the department.

She says our standards aren't high enough, and she's not going to lose her witness

because somebody gets to a cut. Doesn't sound like she's after your vote, Marty.

You smell smoke? It's me. My building burned down last night.

Hey, we got an extra place, you know. You need a place, Kate. No, no, no. It's OK.

I'm telling you about this stuff. Well, I've been asked to go on the line,

Spencer, and provide private security that I can vouch for personally.

And I'm the first guy you thought of, huh? Only one.

See, a full liquor is money that's touching.

Once you catch. There is a contract out on the witness. Uh, makes it easier.

I said I'd never work for the department again. And, surely, he never let you.

What'd he say when you brought up my name? I didn't bring it up. No, he did.

He asked me what I thought. I said, we couldn't do any better. Shannon wants me on.

It's got to be a suicide run. You know your job, he respects that.

families inside.

What do you say?

Where's it put you by saying no?

clock starts at noon.

24 hours.

I'm only working on two hours sleep now. I'll need some backup.

play it how you see it. Farrow's a young woman, but she's old money.

Whatever it takes, she can afford it.

Here's her address. Shanley will meet you there.

We know Department of Contact after that.

Carol's worried about a leak, which is trash, family.

Tom Shanley and I broke into together Spencer.

He got the job that you should have got.

You don't make Captain on shoulder, you make it unmarried.

I got no problems working with Tom Shan. I'll

see you when I can see you.

Spencer.

Head up.

Better head's in toes.

As I was, the only thing I could see was that I might need Hawk.

So I gave him a call and cut him into half my action.

The figure might be interested, since it's just bought a $50,000 car.

Take it for you, sir. No, I don't think so.

music

Thank you.

Thank you.

Because I'm a man.

Spencer.

Captain.

This is Megan Farrell. Mr. Spencer?

Scott Jakes.

Good morning Mrs. Ryan. Judge?

You do this every Sunday? When I'm in the city.

Want to suggest something? What's that? The sausage could be thinner.

The skychecks, bulk sausage is fine, but it has to be thin.

Then you really should paint it with a little more of the egg

before you roll the breadcrump. You must be a gourmet. All right, the cook.

It's funny. I've never enjoyed it. Well, that's set some ground rules, doesn't it?

Pardon? For us. What you see is comedy. I see it's tragedy.

So while it might be only 24 hours,

maybe you'd like to be very precise about our relationship.

Well, I'm certainly not expecting you

to make a charitable contribution, Mr. Spencer,

although it is for an important cause. From already court. I respect that.

My witness is the wife of a prominent member of the organization.

She's given me names and figures that can expose certain public

officials as being under the influence of the organisation.

Somebody would rather see her dead than walk into that grand jury session.

You said you already have your testimony. I have a deposition.

She still has to appear before the grand jury.

I'm depending on you to protect her.

with your own life if necessary.

My value of my life is very deal-missed for all. But $5,000 be appropriate?

For my life? No.

One day in it, I'd say you were getting royally ripped off.

But I guess we can check hands on it.

The witness is Angela Zamekis. She just checked into a building,

Iona, condominium structure next, a mass general. Or did? 425 on a corner.

Can I be changed? No, why? Too many windows. That's my problem.

Here's doesn't start again till tomorrow noon.

Mr. Spencer.

I don't know what your ambitions are, but I'm not ashamed of my own.

This case can start a groundswell that could carry me straight into the state house.

I'll make it a point to remember everyone who helps get me there.

Just remember the sausage.

So.

Well, I sacked it and said anything about my smoky suit.

Maybe she got a sum of cold. She's getting cold for all seasons.

Get out of here before it snows. So just where is this baby sitting job we got?

Cross from mass general condom. Around the window.

You buy a new car the first thing you gotta do is read the owner's man.

You gotta get air on this.

makes it cool. Don't help that smell.

This general is the biggest hospital in Boston, and the best in the country.

It was founded in 1811, but it couldn't open until we won the war of 1812.

It was comforting to know it was right down the block.

I figured I could have a little war of my own going on soon.

Have a Spencer private cop. I'm going up to 425. Uh, Spencer. Yes, sir.

Elevator's right over there. Stairs? Sir? Got him.

lol

Just a minute.

Mrs. Vegas? Oh my God!

My name is

Oh, my God.

Thank you.

me.

credit card board just died. Robert, you know, I just got there.

What are you doing? Closing their dreams is a place of the fishball.

You know, it's partly not. She wasn't good enough for her.

You know, I've seen this eight. I've see it nine times and it still does this to me.

Maybe I shouldn't watch it.

Oh, gosh, I look like a mess.

I'm sorry.

I took a shower when I got here because it was so hot.

Bedroom and bed both clean, no firescage. Who's he? Sorry, Missy.

I don't do nothing to mess. I don' tell me, too. This is Hawk. Don't worry.

He knows his place. What did you say? I heard what you said.

And you should never say anything like that. Really?

And you don't have to accept an insult like that.

You're as good as any person on this earth.

Better. Top two, maybe.

something burning.

I had to get out of the soup before it started smelling normal to me.

And I needed a couple hours' sleep to keep my brain from turning to steel wool.

If there was going to be a head it figured to happen

at night when we made the delivery the next day.

But I was still a little anxious about being away from the condom for very long.

The first to fire the new world. Oh, Spencer.

Look, my, both hands both think I'm a thief. Oh, God.

It's a little like hugging smokey the bear. Sorry.

What do you think? Well, I know what I think.

I know that the people who might want to hire me are going to think. You're right.

It'd better scatter it all around. Look,

I appreciate it.

I'm just a little strung out. Lost everything, didn't you?

It's just better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all.

Whoever it was, I don't think that's what he meant when he wrote the line.

Alfred Tennyson. First bearer of the realm.

If you did, a minute that way. It's because he never got along with you.

Sleepy here. Wait, past that. Maybe you just need a relapse. Can't.

maybe I can have a look.

We're going to have a picnic. We could have it right here right now.

No little kids running around. No kids. No sudden rainstorms.

I feel like it'll work. It's a wrap. Doing what? It's not for that.

We've got two hours. Anyway, I could drag it out of here.

start.

Ah, that can't.

Thank you.

Hey Spencer!

What? That has

to be too flint. His unit covered the fire last night.

He left a message on your machine. Any other messages on there? Just this one.

Spencer, this is Joe Flint, voice-in-fire department.

Johnny

Callahan and I, he's the kid you pulled out last night.

Johnny and I were trying to figure out a way to

say thanks for doing what you did like that.

And we think maybe we found a way.

So what do you think? Well, I don't know what the thing. Well, work.

Yeah, I don't work. OK, then. Johnny, give him the keys.

Chief, how do I just move in here? That's an auxiliary house, but the funds ran dry.

It's a white elephant. I need some kind of permit from the sea, though, right?

After the last night, whatever's needed, I'll make happen.

Listen, Chief.

Ciao. Ciao.

It's almost a lot of crazy fun. It's disconnected to the pay phone over there.

Thanks.

going to work.

Well, I'm going upstairs.

That'll be your first.

All right.

Are you sure you don't want some ice cream? No, thank

you. So I turned on the sound.

No, thank you. Can't hear anything. I can hear what I need to hear.

Oh, you like the vibes? Thank you. Uh. I'm just filing. Mm-hmm.

I still hadn't had any sleep, and I knew I wouldn't get any

if I left Hawke's new car sitting in my old neighborhood.

Any calls? No, but where'd you get that?

Friend of mine has another fine of bucks in the job

to make sure nobody touches it, OK? OK. Come and give me if there are any calls.

We will. Hey, dude, check that out.

My boyfriend is taking me to fights. What's your husband think about that?

I'm not married.

Wanna see something else?

No.

I don't think so.

Hey!

Yeah. Visitors for Mrs. McAst. They got names. Chenle and Harold.

Fair I got a first name. Come on, I'm not going to ask him that.

He says he owns the building.

Tell him to wait 10 minutes and ladies taking a bath.

What's going on? Get dressed. Who was that? I said get dressed.

Company's coming.

My god, fourth low to ten. What's your name, officer? We answer. Michael Williams.

I want makes on both John Doe's before they go in the locker.

I think he can handle that way. Yes, sir.

How the hell do you use this?

Well, guess Harry, you sure the only button room is by the door?

Not a drop in a place else. Thank God. Spencer.

Yeah, I have given time.

Paul. You can.

You've read him already? One of your boys did, Lieutenant.

Had me send it on in with a cruiser. One of my boys.

Okay, thanks, sir.

That's something I might be interested in.

Gonna make on the hitters both in Jersey, Phil, Maysack, and Sennickhart, those.

You burned up. Walk. Walk. You hired a hawk as backup? Walks the best. Where is he?

Don't know. What? Where's a woman? With hawk.

Well, how do you know that if you don't know who a hawker is? I know.

Look, hawk works for these people.

What makes you think that he's not making a plan of his own right now?

Cutting a deal for himself. You wouldn't do that. It was working for me.

You were working for Me neither. How were you? I'm sure I'll street firehouse.

I want straight answers, Spencer. So do I, Marty.

Two contractors from Jersey knew to come to this condominium.

They knew to ask the clerk for the right name.

They identified themselves as Shanley and Theroll.

And since they intended to blow me away along with the witness,

I want to know who else knew we were here. I'm going to find out.

Hey, we've had some hankies going on around here.

I got the front desk and the two stiffs identified themselves.

This is Shanley and Farrell. How'd you get that?

I guess I better go find out who they really were. Contractors from Jersey.

What are you gonna crystal ball around here?

What else did the desk clerk give you? It's solely her. Look, my head hurts. OK?

I already told the sergeant everything I remember.

About two men, one about the woman. Woman? Just see her leave.

It's hard to see a whole lot out here for men inside a closet. Yeah, right.

What about once you arrive? What do you mean? Once you just arrive.

You know where she was coming from? Oh. How's she got here? Car, limo, cap?

I don't know. Um... Cabbage. More company. Come on, how do I know where company is?

You can see through those glass doors, right? Yeah.

The sexy damn like that comes in there. You got to take a good look, right.

Yeah.

I'm dying to my buy.

wrapped in a tight red dress. Look past the body through the doors,

what colors you can't. I'll command on what color is the...

Blue and white.

Based day.

Base take cap company.

I could have made the call from the condo, but I

didn't think Quirk and Belson would appreciate it.

May State Cap dispatch office.

Yeah, this is Sergeant Bell's enormous sight.

I need some information on a pair of the condos

across the mass general about 10 this morning.

Hey, you guys know I can't get that stuff on a phone.

I think maybe we've got a back connection here in Palin,

with the Cambys name and number, and I'll take yours too. Hey,

listen.

I am listening, but I'm not hearing anything.

Now, maybe you'd rather have a unit pick, you have to bring you downtown.

You should only take four or five hours every time. Joe Fontana? Yeah?

Spencer Field Rep. FaceState Captain. Billy went under the spas test, tells me

he picked up a fair at 9 o'clock this morning.

At the bus station, got dropped the condos over by Matt's General. Yeah?

Took you 50 minutes, Joe. And that's a 10 minute fair at best that time of day.

What happened? Hey, look, man. I don't know. I just got a job at it.

Just like you only did for you. You know what I mean?

No, I figured she had you make it stop. Did you, right? Yeah. OK. OK.

So just tell me the record for it. Two stops.

First one was a travel agency on Common Park, but she didn't get out.

She just had me double parked so she could look in the window.

Hey, I told her it was her nickel. My park all day if that's what she wanted.

We only sat a couple of minutes, though. She said two stops. Where else? The Ritz.

The Rits. How long were you there? 35 minutes maybe. 40 tops. Taxi. Taxi, please.

All right. Just going to thank you, sir.

What do you do? Change jobs? That's a lot of work.

Some fancy machine? Yeah, listen, Eddie, I'm looking for a woman. Wrong hotel, sir.

Captain Javry said he dropped it here this morning.

She spent about a half an hour inside and left long, good figure, about 30-32.

It's way in a red dress would have been around 9-15 this morning?

You mean Mrs. Simmons? Simmons? Yeah.

She was in and out of here in a cab this morning,

but she's been with us about three days. She stayed here? Yeah.

Checked in, 13 checked out today.

Thank you.

Check out once you took the cab. No, she checked out about an hour and a half ago.

Does anybody with her?

No. Is she in trouble?

Maybe not as much as me.

Actually leave. Lemme out.

You know the driver?

Jackie, you heard me. Thanks, Eddie. I had to behind the penalty box for you.

Thank you, Spencer.

Jackie Hurley with from South Boston, he spoke the truth.

And the truth he spoke to me was that he had delivered the woman from the

Ritz to the airport and put her on a plane for San Francisco.

The woman that the dormant thought was the woman I thought was

the witness-marty quirk thought I was guarding.

That could only mean one thing. There were two women.

The one that stayed at the Ritz and then got on the Pinders' Antelope Sisko.

And the one with Hawk right now. I didn't know who was who or what was what,

but I was pretty sure the woman with Hawk wasn't the real Angela's a mech.

Time to find Hawk.

What are you doing? I'm just a little bit of a guy. I'm not a man.

I'm a man, I'm an idiot.

I'm going to be a man and I'm the one who's going to get married.

I'm sorry, but I'm so sorry. I'm really sorry. I'm very sorry. I'm too sorry.

I'm terribly sorry. I'm fine. I'm okay. I'm sure you're not going to marry me.

I'm pretty sorry. I'm worried about you. I'm afraid I'm gonna get married again.

I'm scared. I'm already dead. I'm dying. I'm dead.

I love you too. Shoot me that number.

I got it. I didn't

say anything to Susan about being in danger,

so I figured I could get through to him a little later.

It was time to find something else out now.

Now what?

I got him.

on the wheel.

One down one to go until

the city of Boston booted Hawke's car.

But I couldn't do anything about that at the moment.

Pickaboo? Two for two. Not bad.

Bad would be telling Hawk what I'd let him do his car.

Boston has more PhDs per square foot than any

city in the country, Harvard University

is in Cambridge just across the Charles River.

You'd think with all that brain power around

me some of it would rub off, but I was still

stumped.

The two

thugs I deposited on Quirk's doorstep requesting were going to supply any answers.

After all, all they had to admit to was following a guy was lost.

I did have a fix on Hawk though.

I figured he left the condo and got the red line across the Charles.

Kendall squares the first stop, and it's close to a first-class hotel.

It didn't surprise me that the number hot gave Susan was the number for the hotel.

Hock always goes first class.

I wasn't sure how to bring up what had happened to his new car just yet.

I'd figured I'd better let that slide for now.

You sure that door man not jabbing you?

I talked to the limo driver too, Johnny Early. He's straight.

Honey, what are you talking to?

What is it? You

like this place, right,

baby? Yeah, it's nice. Nice of the nirits.

What?

Angela.

Such a pretty name, Angela. What's your real name, baby? Please.

I thought we was going to bed, baby, now you all freshened up.

I want to talk to Miss Farrell. I'm always supposed to talk about Miss Farrel.

What about your husband? She doesn't have one.

You were not Megan Farrell, if you tripped over.

You were just taking a job, right? Yeah, sir. Anything wrong with working?

There's worse things a person can do.

I don't know how old I am.

Who did?

Somebody try to kill you once, baby, to keep on trying.

A woman. Angela's a mechus. She had a double. She bought an insurance policy.

It already paid off. You spent half your life with a crime boss.

You learned not to trust anybody.

She didn't give me no name.

Mrs. Farrell was all she said.

She went to the agency and picked my picture out of a file and she gave me a job.

An honest job. She said

if I didn't screw up, she'd

give me a trip to the Bahamas.

I would have never been to the power of it.

I've never been anywhere.

It's going to be

okay.

haha

You handle this. Just take care of my car is good.

I'm locked up safe and sound.

You got a plan? Maybe. I'll be in touch after I talk with Quirk.

Another girl hurts you now. Angela.

Surely.

Yeah.

Shirley.

Hmm.

It worked it and didn't get anything from the

two men I gave him, but he didn't have to.

The fact that they were following me while

the real Angela's of Maccass was taking off

for San Francisco gave me a pretty good idea

whose payroll they were on and what I had to

do to prove it. You said protector.

I didn't know it had to be from you. You're out of line, Spencer.

That's why I never fit in your department, remember?

I'll have your tail for a kid in that. I'll watch you sweat attempted murder.

With what for evidence?

prosecutor in the room. Why don't I try my case on her? Spent it. It's all right.

If charges are going to be made, they might as well be made here.

You already have a deposition.

All

the connections, names, numbers you want the public to have.

You don't want Angela's a mechess night grand jury session. And why is that?

Because if she goes in, the defense can tear down what you want to build up.

You want the State House. You want City Hall.

You run on law and order. Point the finger of people in power, scared tactics.

Backed up with a dead woman's deposition. You present the perfect evidence.

Evidence of people can deny but can't disprove because they can't cross examine.

You get elected. You run in our coattails. Everybody remembers how tough you were

in going after organized crime.

Nobody remembers about an unsolved hit on a witness,

or the death of a next cop, you tag as irresponsible.

So you tell him already quirk that somebody wants to kill

or new contract for a murder.

You have a vivid imagination, Mr. Spencer.

What about hard evidence?

I've got Angela's amacus.

Imagine her telling the people of Massachusetts

you were the only ones who knew where she was supposed to be.

That doesn't prove anything.

I'm just taking a leaf out of Miss Farrell's book. You

don't have to prove anything.

You just point your finger and bring in the press.

Oh, you might not fall.

But you both can forget about climbing any higher.

You do know how preposterous all that would sound outside this room.

It doesn't have to be heard outside this room.

You said you didn't know what my ambitions are.

Very simple. A 40 foot slip off the coast of Bora Bora.

I love cash to keep me in charge in the Sun 10 oil for a year or two.

I could be sending postcards back to the first female governor of the Commonwealth.

We don't even know you found the woman.

I'll bring her to you.

But I won't pull the trigger. He's got to do that.

See that art turned her over to quirk.

to watch her end of that hearing tomorrow.

What about your friend?

Talk.

He's a professional. He'll be reasonable.

Smarty Quarky can't buy.

and have a good start.

You're gonna find out just how good a department you're running.

He's got a lot of friends.

It's almost seven.

There's the truck.

Where's my witness?

I'm bored. She's not here. Best late class of my son, then. You said six o'clock.

We've been here almost an hour. So it took me a long time to get to the truck,

and I thought.

Talk doesn't show up until you see as you get in.

Shamly is back there, isn't it?

Back.

almost in the river.

This is me.

about.

Wait in the car.

Wait, I'm not driving the truck out.

I gave you what you wanted. Open it.

It's all over Tom.

Ah!

H&H Center, Daniel, and the South.

Okay, I'll be back.

Cover that as soon as I can. Damn, street.

I take me a little longer to come up with what I owe you for your help.

Hope you through working for the cops for good this time.

Experience is the fruit of the tree of ours.

Yeah, well, one mistakes enough for this fool.

See you around. Not for a while. I'll be in the Bahamas.

It's been sir. Yeah. You were a cop. You think Oak Brooks here does messed up bad?

He and Shaily went back a long way. What about you?

You ever kill a woman?

I'm on a great feeling.

played by the rules, Bayvdesswood counts.

It just kinda works hard enough just doing that.

Ain't no room at the end for fearless.

Home again, home again, Jaggedy Jake.

The only problem was a man's home is where his heart is.

And mine was with Susan Silverman out in Smithfield.

lol

Thank you.

Got it all wrong.

Stay here, you done put out fires.

Well, before you can put one out, you gotta get one started.

Hahaha!

and I'm so sorry.

Thank you, my lady.
