I REALLY THINK HE'S GONNA GET YOU SOME WORK.

ANYWAY, THIS WAS JUST FANTASTIC.

SO, MR. MANELLI, YOU DIDN'T ACTUALLY SEE WHO DID IT?

WELL, I WAS INSIDE HELPIN' A CUSTOMER,

BUT THE WINDOWS WERE CLEAN AND, PSST, THEY'RE ALL RED.

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, HUH, HOOKER?

IN THE OLD DAYS, WHEN A COP WALKED A BEAT AROUND HERE,

WE HAD NOTHING LIKE THIS.

THAT WAS A FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD THEN, GINO.

PARENTS BELIEVED IN DISCIPLINE.

YOU KNOW, FOR 35 YEARS, BEFORE I OPENED THIS STORE,

I USED TO FIGHT THE SHARKS, STORMS,

SOMETIMES EVEN OTHER FISHERMEN JUST TO MAKE A LIVING.

NOW I GOTTA CALL YOU FOR HELP WITH KIDS.

YEAH. BETTER YOU SHOULD CALL US

THAN TRY TO HANDLE IT YOURSELF.

SPEAKING OF KIDS, HOW ARE YOUR GRANDCHILDREN?

OH.

THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL.

YEAH?

HEY, THEY'RE GONNA COME AND VISIT ME NEXT MONTH.

NO KIDDING? LISTEN, MR. MANELLI,

HOW DO YOUR GRANDCHILDREN FEEL ABOUT CATS?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING, CATS?

I GOT ONE. THE CUTEST LITTLE GUY YOU EVER SAW.

I'M TRYING TO FIND A HOME FOR HIM.

YOU KNOW, HOOKER, YOU GOT A PARTNER WHO'S CRAZY.

I GOT A FISH STORE HERE

AND HE'S TRYING TO GIVE ME A CAT.

OH, MR. MANELLI, COME ON.

YOU ARE CRAZY.

HEY, GUYS...

ALL UNITS AND 4-ADAM-30,

AN A.D.W. JUST OCCURRED IN THE PARKING LOT

TO THE REAR OF 1813 PACIFIC AVENUE.

THE SUSPECT IS DESCRIBED AS AN UNKNOWN MALE

RIDING A BLACK AND RED STRIPED MOTORCYCLE, UNKNOWN MAKE.

4-ADAM-30, HANDLE CODE 3.

4-ADAM-30, THAT'S A ROGER. WE GOTTA ROLL.

GINO, WE'LL BE BACK AND FINISH THE REPORT.

OK.

TAKE CARE, PAISAN. LET ME KNOW

IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT THAT CAT.

A CAT, ROMANO?

IT'S A VERY INTERESTING STORY.

I'LL JUST BET IT IS.

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN, JUNIOR.

PACIFIC'S ONLY 2 BLOCKS AHEAD.

THAT COULD BE OUR GUY.

4-ADAM-30.

WE ARE IN PURSUIT, OF POSSIBLE ASSAULT WITH DEADLY WEAPON SUSPECT,

RIDING A BLACK MOTORCYCLE, TRAVELING EAST IN ALLEY

BETWEEN 50 AND BERGIN.

HE'S HEADED FOR THE FREEWAY.

HANG ON, ROMANO.

MOTORCYCLES.

THEY DO HAVE A WAY OF SNEAKING THROUGH TRAFFIC.

ANOTHER TRASHED CAR, HOOKER.

SHERIDAN IS GONNA GO FOR OUR THROATS.

WELL, IT DID HAVE MORE THAN 1000 MILES ON IT.

4-ADAM-30, PURSUIT TERMINATED.

REQUEST A POLICE TOW AND MOTOR TRANSPORT

FOR A BLACK AND WHITE REPLACEMENT.

ROGER, 4-ADAM-30

LOOKS LIKE WE LOST MORE THAN AN A.D.W. SUSPECT.

SHE WAS DEAD BEFORE WE GOT HERE.

YOU GUYS GET ANY KIND OF A DESCRIPTION

BEFORE YOU LOST HIM?

NO, HE WAS WEARING A VISOR HELMET.

WE DIDN'T GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO GET A LICENSE.

SHE AN ACTRESS?

DANCER. JOAN GILLENS, 24,

ACCORDING TO HER DRIVER'S LICENSE.

BE CAREFUL,

YOU'RE ABOUT TO STEP ON SOME OF YOUR EVIDENCE.

IT'S PROBABLY NOTHING.

I'LL HAVE FORENSIC CHECK IT OUT.

GARCIA,

DOES SHE HAVE MULTIPLE STAB WOUNDS?

YEAH, OTHER THAN THAT

WE'RE HOLDING ON TO A BAG OF NOTHING

EXCEPT MAYBE FOR YOUR OIL SPOT.

YOU KNOW HER, HOOKER?

IN A WAY I DO.

GARCIA, DID YOU NOTICE HER HAIR?

WHAT ABOUT IT?

A LOCK HAS BEEN CUT OFF.

I KNOW THIS GUY. AND I KNOW HIS VICTIMS.

1, 2, 3, 4.1, 2, 3, 4.

IT WAS 8 YEARS AGO, BUT WHEN I HEARD "DANCER,"

I KNEW WHAT I WAS GOING TO FIND UNDER THAT BLANKET.

HOW MANY WOMEN DID HE KILL?

4. MISSED THE 5TH BY INCHES.

HE THOUGHT SHE WAS DEAD, HE WAS GONNA CUT A LOCK OF HER HAIR OFF,

INTERRUPTED BY A NEIGHBOR. THEY CALLED HIM THE BARBER.

THE BARBER? I'LL BET THE PRESS HAD A FIELD DAY WITH THAT ONE.

WAIT TILL THEY FIND OUT HE'S BACK.

WHO IS THAT DOLL?

COME HERE, I'LL INTRODUCE YOU. STACY...

I'LL HANDLE IT, HOOKER.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.

I'D BETTER INTRODUCE YOU, ROMANO.

I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO STACY.

BEAUTIFUL.

AND YOU'RE VINCE ROMANO.

YOU'VE HEARD OF ME?

I REPLACED VICKI TAYLOR, ROMANO.

YOU'VE DEFINITELY HEARD OF ME.

YES, HUH.

RODNEY.

OH, YES, RODNEY.

VICKI PASSED YOUR PROBLEM TO ME

ALONG WITH THE REST OF HER DESK DUTIES.

HIYA, RODNEY. AH, WAIT,

SEE, THERE'S... THERE'S BEEN A SLIGHT CHANGE OF PLANS.

YOU SEE DET. WARNER WAS GONNA TAKE RODNEY HOME WITH HIM

BUT HE HAD A FIGHT WITH HIS WIFE

AND NOW SHE WON'T LET HIM HAVE HIM.

ROMANO, THE ONLY REASON I LET VICKI TALK ME

INTO KEEPING THIS CAT IN THE BARRACKS LAST NIGHT WAS BECAUSE

SHE SAID YOU SWORE WARNER WOULD TAKE HIM TONIGHT.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT A THING, DOLL.

I'M PLANNING ON HAVING ANOTHER CUSTOMER REAL SOON.

HOOKER.

LOOK.

LOOK AT THAT CUTE LITTLE BUNDLE OF FUR.

THAT'S THE BIGGEST CAT I'VE EVER SEEN. THAT'S NOT LITTLE...

COME ON, HE'D BE A GREAT COMPANION FOR YOU.

OK, MAYBE NOT. HOW ABOUT YOUR FAMILY?

YOU WANT A MOMENT OF TRUTH? LOOK INTO MY EYES.

OK. NO.

OK, FINE.

NOW WHAT, ROMANO?

WHY DON'T WE TALK ABOUT IT OVER DINNER TONIGHT?

I THINK I SHOULD INTRODUCE YOU. THIS IS STACY SHERIDAN.

MMM-HMM.

AS IN CAPTAIN, CAPT. SHERIDAN.

RUN A SHORT D.M.V. FOR ME, WILL YOU, STACY?

SURE, SERGEANT.

WHILE I GO TALK TO YOUR FATHER.

YOUR... HE'S YOUR...

ON 2ND THOUGHT,

MAYBE I'LL JUST, UH, GET TO WORK ON TRYING TO FIND A HOME FOR RODNEY.

SEE YA, RODNEY.

GOOD THINKING, ROMANO. GOOD THINKING.

ALL DANCERS. ALL FROM THE BEACH DISTRICT.

ALL WITH MULTIPLE STAB WOUNDS WITH A MATCHING WEAPON.

ALL WITH A LOCK OF HAIR CUT OFF.

I'VE SEEN 4 OTHER BODIES THAT LOOKED LIKE JOAN GILLENS'.

8 YEARS AGO, HOOKER.

8 YEARS, NOTHING? THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN

HE'S ALIVE AND WELL AND WORKING THE BEACH DISTRICT AGAIN?

MAYBE WE GOT OURSELVES A COPYCAT KILLER, CAPTAIN.

I DON'T THINK WE CAN RISK MAYBES HERE.

THIS GUY COULD'VE BEEN IN JAIL FOR SOME OTHER CRIME.

A MENTAL HOSPITAL.

NONE OF WHICH YOU KNOW FOR CERTAIN, HOOKER.

IN MY GUT, CAPTAIN, I FEEL IT IN MY GUT.

CAPTAIN, I KNOW THIS CASE BETTER THAN ANYBODY.

SURE YOU DO, HOOKER.

YOU WERE A HOTSHOT HOMICIDE DETECTIVE

ON A SENSATIONAL CASE, LOTS OF MEDIA COVERAGE.

HOW CLOSE DID YOU COME TO I.D.ING THE KILLER?

YOU KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT ONE. THE CASE IS STILL OPEN

BECAUSE WE NEVER HAD ANYTHING MORE THAN A ROUGH COMPOSITE

FROM LYNNE HARTMANN, THE ONE GIRL WHO WASN'T KILLED.

THEN THE MURDERS STOPPED. THERE WERE NO MORE WITNESSES,

NO LEADS. THE SUSPECT DROPPED FROM SIGHT.

AND THE M.O. NEVER TURNED UP AGAIN. UNTIL NOW.

8 YEARS LATER? THAT'S A LONG TIME, HOOKER.

NOW, UNTIL WE KNOW BETTER, IT'S A DIFFERENT HOMICIDE.

CAPTAIN, I'M NOT ASKING TO COME OUT OF THE CAR.

I JUST WANT TO HELP.

WE HAVE A POTENTIALLY SENSITIVE CASE HERE,

WHICH PROMISES TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THIS PRECINCT,

AND THE LAST THING I NEED IS A BLUE SUIT MOVING THROUGH

THE BACKGROUND OF THE INVESTIGATION.

NOW IF GARCIA NEEDS ANY HELP, HE KNOWS WHERE TO FIND YOU.

IN THE MEANTIME, YOU HAVE A CLASS TO TEACH,

AND I HAVE A BRIEFING TO ATTEND.

CAPTAIN, LYNNE HARTMANN IS THE ONLY ONE

WHO CAN IDENTIFY THE BARBER, AND HE KNOWS IT.

HE COULD GO AFTER HER AT ANY TIME.

THAT'S WHY SHE'S GOT TO BE COVERED, STARTING NOW.

I'M SORRY, HOOKER, BUT LIKE YOU SAID,

WE CAN'T DEAL IN MAYBES. AND AFTER ONE KILLING,

I CAN'T USE A MAYBE TO JUSTIFY THE MANPOWER.

NOW THE ISSUE'S CLOSED, ALL RIGHT?

OH, NO.

A COLD, CAPTAIN?

NO, IT'S AN OLD ALLERGY.

ONE OF YOU MUST'VE BEEN AROUND A CAT RECENTLY.

ONE MORE REASON WHY

YOU'VE GOT TO GET RODNEY OUT OF HERE, ROMANO.

REAR PUNCH. FORWARD PUNCH.

WEAK SIDE, STRONG SIDE.

WEAK SIDE, POWER STROKE, POWER STROKE.

THE R-24, A BATON,

ONE TOOL IN A RANGE OF TOOLS.

BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER, YOUR HEAD IS THE BEST TOOL YOU HAVE.

ALL RIGHT, SERGEANT, TAKE 'EM OVER.

ALL RIGHT, DOUBLE ARM DISTANCE, MOVE IT OUT.

PHASE 2 RECRUITS ARE COMING ALONG, AREN'T THEY?

YEAH, THEY'RE RIGHT BEHIND YOU, ROMANO.

YOU BETTER STAY SHARP. STACY GIVE YOU THAT D.M.V. FOR ME?

I COULDN'T HELP READING THE NAME ON THERE.

LYNNE ANNE HARTMANN, THE LADY WHO SURVIVED?

STACY'S ALSO RUNNING A CHECK FOR YOU ON THE UNSOLVEDS

FOR THE BARBER KILLINGS.

I'M PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN GETTING THAT S.I.D. INFO

AND THE ORIGINAL COMPOSITE ON THAT KILLER.

RIGHT, EXCEPT, HOOKER,

DIDN'T CAPT. SHERIDAN TELL YOU TO BACK OFF?

WELL, YEAH, BUT WHEN WE'RE OUT ON PATROL,

NOBODY MAKES ANY RULES WHERE WE TAKE OUR BREAKS, RIGHT?

YOU GOT IT, PARTNER.

YOU'RE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE, HOOKER.

RODNEY IS SO SPECIAL.

PROBABLY HAS A PEDIGREE.

I KNOW YOU'RE DESPERATE, ROMANO, AND I'D BE, TOO,

IF I LET A STEWARDESS CON ME INTO DRIVING 20 MILES,

TWICE A DAY, TO FEED HER CAT 'CAUSE SHE WAS OUT OF TOWN.

ONLY TILL I FIND HIM A NEW HOME.

40 MILES A DAY, AT $1.50 A GALLON. HMM.

A BARGAIN, IF YOU SAW JUDITH.

HOOKER, DON'T BE SO HASTY.

DENYING YOUR KIDS THE LOVE AND AFFECTION

OF THAT FURRY LITTLE CREATURE...

2 PARROTS, 2 DOGS, A HAMSTER, A TURTLE, AND A RAT

IS AS MUCH OF A ZOO AS MY EX IS WILLING TO FEED.

FORGET IT, ROMANO. FORGET IT.

DON'T SAY I DIDN'T ASK YOU.

YOU ASKED AND YOU WAS TOLD.

HOOKER, WAS THIS LADY SPECIAL?

SHE COULD'VE BEEN. I WAS MARRIED AT THE TIME.

I'LL SEE YOU IN A FEW MINUTES, OK?

RIGHT. I'LL HIT THE MARKET ACROSS THE STREET,

PICK UP SOME CHOW FOR RODNEY.

LITTLE GUY EATS LIKE HE'S TWINS.

♪

PLIE. THAT'S IT, MICHELLE, VERY GOOD.

THINK TALL, GIRLS, COME ON. PULL UP.

THAT'S RIGHT.

RELAX YOUR ARM, HUH.

THERE WE GO.

ELEVE. TURN.

VERY GOOD, SHANNON. THAT'S IT, GIRLS, OK.

OK, LADIES, THAT'S IT FOR TODAY. YOU ALL WERE TERRIFIC.

WELL.

I ALWAYS HAD AN IDEA WE'D RUN INTO EACH OTHER SOMETIME, HOOKER,

CASUALLY, IN A RESTAURANT MAYBE.

I'D BE WITH SOMEONE ELSE, YOU'D BE WITH YOUR WIFE.

WE'D SMILE, MAYBE PASS THE TIME OF DAY

AND THAT WOULD BE THE END OF IT.

HOW ABOUT YOU?

I TRIED NEVER TO THINK ABOUT IT.

I DIDN'T THINK WE'D EVER SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN.

YOU KNOW, I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE YOU STILL THERE.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE... THE DREAM?

BROADWAY.

YOU WERE WORKING SO HARD TO MAKE IT COME TRUE.

FUNNY. I FORGOT I EVER HAD THAT DREAM.

YOU KNOW, AFTER THAT NIGHT,

THE HORROR OF THE ATTACK, I...

ALL OF A SUDDEN I REALIZED IT...

IT WASN'T THE FAME OR THE MONEY I REALLY WANTED.

IT WAS DANCING I WAS HIGH ON.

THAT WAS THE JOY I WANTED TO SHARE.

CORNY, HUH?

NO, NO.

I'LL BET WHEN YOU SEE THOSE KIDS' FACES LOOKING UP AT YOURS,

YOU KNOW EVERY DAY YOU MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE.

THEY'RE WONDERFUL, HOOKER. THEY GIVE EVERYTHING.

HOW'RE YOUR KIDS? YOUR WIFE?

OH, THEY'RE FINE.

THEY'RE NOT MINE IN THE SAME WAY ANYMORE.

A DIVORCE TOOK CARE OF THAT.

I'M SORRY, HOOKER.

YEAH.

CLASSIC COP-IN-THE-RADIO-CAR STORY.

OH, I READ THE NEWSPAPER STORIES

A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO ABOUT...

HMM, WHAT'D THEY CALL IT,

A BAD SHOOTING?

IS THAT WHY YOU'RE IN UNIFORM?

WELL, THAT'S WHAT SOME PEOPLE THINK.

I DID KILL A MAN IN SELF-DEFENSE.

THE SCUM WHO KILLED MY PARTNER.

BUT I WASN'T PUT DOWN INTO BLUES.

I ASKED FOR THE STREETS AGAIN.

UNDER THAT TWEED JACKET AND TIE,

YOU ALWAYS WERE A STREET COP.

YOU KNOW, I GUESS I FEEL A LITTLE GUILTY.

DURING THE 2 WEEKS YOU SPENT MAKING SURE

THE BARBER WASN'T COMING BACK TO FINISH THE JOB ON ME,

I COULDN'T HELP BUT FANTASIZE

HOW DIFFERENT THINGS MIGHT BE

IF YOU WEREN'T ATTACHED.

THEN MAYBE WE BOTH OUGHT TO FEEL GUILTY.

I WATCHED YOUR EVERY MOVE FOR 2 WEEKS.

IT WAS MY JOB.

BUT IT WAS MY PLEASURE. YOU WERE SO DIFFERENT,

SO EXCITING.

EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU.

BUT YOU NEVER SAID ANYTHING. NOT A WORD.

HOW COULD I? I WAS MARRIED.

LYNNE,

I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT

ALL THAT WAS FOR YOU,

BUT I'VE GOT TO ASK YOU TO REMEMBER IT AGAIN.

AGAIN? BUT, HOOKER, WHY?

I'M HERE TO TELL YOU TO BE CAREFUL.

I MEAN, REALLY CAREFUL.

ANOTHER WOMAN WAS KILLED THIS MORNING.

AND THE M.O. WAS SIMILAR IN EVERY DETAIL

TO THAT OF THE BARBER CASE.

OH, NO.

NO.

♪

YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE THERE?

ANOTHER ONE?

CORONER SAYS IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAPPENED EARLY THIS MORNING.

BARTENDER FOUND HER WHEN HE CAME IN TO OPEN UP.

LOOKS LIKE SHE ALMOST MADE IT TO THE CAR WHEN HE NAILED HER.

SAME WOUNDS AND HAIR?

AND SHE WAS A DANCER, OF SORTS.

HEY, YOUR THEORY IS OFFICIAL, HOOKER.

YEAH, WELL, I'M NOT JUMPING THROUGH HOOPS

BECAUSE I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO CALL IT.

GARCIA, WHY DON'T WE BE CAREFUL

ABOUT WHAT WE TELL OUR FRIENDS IN THE MEDIA, HUH?

MAYBE SOME HOT PRESS WILL PUSH HIM INTO MAKING A MISTAKE.

WELL, IF ANYBODY'S GONNA PUSH HIM, IT OUGHT TO BE US.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S A WOMAN OUT THERE

WHO WENT THROUGH PLENTY 8 YEARS AGO,

AND IF THE PRESS DOES ITS USUAL ST. VITUS DANCE,

SHE'S GONNA BE RE-EXPOSED TO THAT CRAZY MAN.

I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.

LOOK, WHY DON'T YOU LIGHTEN UP, UH, HOOKER?

NO THANKS, PAL.

YOU'RE LAID BACK ENOUGH FOR BOTH OF US.

AND I WAS JUST GONNA ASK HIM IF HE WANTED A CAT.

WELL, THAT'S A MOTORCYCLE SKID MARK.

LOOKS LIKE HE WAS IN A HURRY,

SO HE PROBABLY DIDN'T BOTHER WITH THE KICK STAND

AND JUST LEANED IT AGAINST THE RAILING. THERE.

THAT'S VERY GOOD, SHERLOCK.

WOULD YOU SAY THAT HE LEANED IT A LITTLE HARD THIS TIME?

LOOKS LIKE IT CAME OFF OF THE END OF A HAND BRAKE LEVER.

USED TO HAPPEN TO ME ALL THE TIME.

ONE STEP CLOSER.

SOON, LYNNE HARTMANN,

VERY SOON.

HEY, GINO. GINO, WHAT HAPPENED?

AH, I WAS STACKING SOME CANNED TOMATOES.

I HEARD PING-PING, THE WHOLE WINDOW EXPLODES.

DID YOU SEE ANYBODY?

NO, JUST SOME LADIES SHOPPING.

THEY WOULDN'T DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

ALL RIGHT, HERE'S WHAT WENT PING-PING

ON YOUR OLIVE OIL CANS, A PELLET.

YOU MEAN, LIKE IN A SHOTGUN?

NO. LIKE AN AIR GUN FIRE.

AH, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, MR. MANELLI.

I'LL GIVE YOU OUR REPORT NUMBER,

YOU PHONE IT IN TO YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY'LL FIX THE WINDOW.

INSURANCE IS FOR RICH PEOPLE. FOR 35 YEARS I FISH,

I DON'T HAVE IT, I DON'T HAVE IT NOW.

HEY, GINO, I NEED YOUR HELP.

GIVE ME THOSE CAT SCANS, WILL YOU, ROMANO?

WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF X-RAYS HERE OF STAB WOUNDS,

AND WE'RE TRYING TO CONNECT THE MURDER WEAPON TO THEM.

YEAH.

MARLINSPIKE I THOUGHT AT FIRST.

YEAH. THAT LOOKS LIKE A MARLINSPIKE TO ME.

MARLINSPIKE? SOUNDS PRETTY EXOTIC.

NO, IT'S JUST A FISHERMAN'S TOOL.

IT'S USED TO SPLICE ROPE.

YOU WOULDN'T CATCH A GOOD SAILOR WITHOUT ONE.

YEAH, BUT IT HAS A MUCH LARGER CURVE

THAN ONE I'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE, GINO.

WELL, LET'S SEE.

YEAH. YEAH, I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT, HOOKER.

HUH.

YOU KNOW, YEARS AGO, THERE WAS A GREEK FELLA,

HE FISHED WITH ME FOR ONE WHOLE SEASON.

HE USED TO CARRY A TOOL CURVED LIKE THAT ONE,

BECAUSE IN HIS COUNTRY THEY USED A DIFFERENT HEMP ROPE.

HE... HE... NO, WAIT A MINUTE, HE WASN'T GREEK.

A TURK. YEAH, A TURK.

NOW IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER. A FOREIGNER.

THAT ANSWERS SOME QUESTIONS.

A FOREIGN SEAMAN, WHO HASN'T BEEN BACK HERE IN 8 YEARS MAYBE?

KEEP THINKING, JUNIOR. WE'RE GETTING HOT.

I WANT TO KEEP IT ON A ROLL.

4-ADAM-30 TO 4-W-90, ON TAC 2.

GO AHEAD, 4-ADAM-30.

WE HAVE A NEW LEAD WHICH SUGGESTS

THAT OUR 187 SUSPECT MAY BE A FOREIGN NATIONAL.

HAVE THE, UH, DETECTIVES

GET ALL OUR INFORMATION REQUESTS AND FINGERPRINTS

AT C.I.I. AND N.C.I.C., WASHINGTON,

CHECKED OUT THROUGH INTERPOL.

THAT'S A ROGER,

AND 4-ADAM-30, IS OFFICER ROMANO WITH YOU?

UH, 4-W-90, HE IS. CAN I PASS ON A MESSAGE?

YOU TELL HIM TO...

JUST TELL HIM TO GET HIS BLUE SUIT IN HERE TO SEE ME

AT THE END OF WATCH.

GESUNDHEIT, DADDY, I MEAN, CAPT. SHERIDAN.

SO WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT THIS WINDOW, MR. MANELLI?

UH, FOR TODAY, I'LL JUST BOARD IT UP

AND THEN WE'LL SEE ABOUT A NEW ONE.

YOU ORDER THE PLYWOOD, WE'LL HELP YOU PUT IT UP.

THANKS.

NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE THAT'S IMPORTANT, GINO.

I MEAN, YOUR SCUNGELLI,

YOUR CALAMARI, AND YOUR ZUPPA DI PESCHE.

HEY, NOW YOU ARE TALKING, HOOKER.

I WANT AN ORDER OF EACH AND ANYTHING ELSE

THAT YOU THINK MIGHT MAKE A REALLY SPECIAL LUNCH FOR 2.

ALL RIGHT.

AND YOU BETTER ORDER WHAT YOU'RE HAVING FOR LUNCH, ROMANO,

BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT THE ONE I'M EATING WITH.

UH, THE FRUIT ANGLAISE.

FRUIT ANGLAISE? I LOVE FRUIT ANGLAISE.

5, 6, 7, 8.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, READY AND...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

1, 2, 3, 4...

BYE, SEE YOU TOMORROW.

I... I DIDN'T HEAR YOU COME IN.

YOU'RE NOT LYNNE HARTMANN.

NO, SHE'S OUT TO LUNCH. UM,

CAN I HELP YOU WITH SOMETHING?

I'LL COME BACK.

I KNOW YOU WANT THE WHOLE THING TO STAY

IN THE PAST, LYNNE, BUT IT WON'T.

DON'T REMIND ME, HOOKER, PLEASE.

IT WAS A NIGHTMARE.

A NIGHTMARE THAT TOOK ME A LONG, PAINFUL TIME TO FORGET.

I DON'T CARE WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED.

I'M AFRAID YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CHOICE.

LYNNE, YOU ARE INVOLVED.

YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON TO SEE THIS GUY

AND BE ALIVE TO TALK ABOUT IT.

I WANT YOU TO FORCE YOURSELF TO THINK ABOUT OUR...

OUR FRIEND, THE CREEP.

TRY TO REMEMBER ANYTHING YOU CAN ABOUT THAT NIGHT 8 YEARS AGO.

HIS DESCRIPTION, HIS CLOTHES, HIS WORDS.

ANYTHING THAT CAN HELP US TAKE HIM DOWN.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, HOOKER? IS RODNEY GONNA LOVE THIS?

HE'S GONNA LOVE IT, ROMANO. HE'S GONNA LOVE IT.

RODNEY?

RODNEY.

IT'S A LONG, BORING STORY. TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.

NOT IF YOU LIKE CATS. DO YOU LIKE CATS?

I'M SORRY, OFFICER, IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

JUST A MINUTE, FELLA. COME HERE.

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT WHAT ABOUT WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING

DOWN AT GINO'S STORE ON SEA-VIEW AVENUE?

THOSE, ACCIDENTS, TOO?

WHAT ABOUT IT, GUYS? ANYBODY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?

NO, NO.

YOU GOT A POCKET FULL OF THESE? HMM?

FOR YOUR AIR GUN? NOW LISTEN, SON,

THE TRUTH IS DIFFICULT SOMETIMES,

BUT IT'S THE BEST WAY.

I DON'T HAVE ANY AIR GUN. I HAVE A SLING SHOT.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO BREAK THE WINDOW.

AND THE PAINT YESTERDAY? WHAT ABOUT THAT?

DID YOU MEAN TO DO THAT?

YES, SIR.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, SON?

STEVIE. STEPHAN PINE. 726 CLIFF AVENUE.

WHY DID YOU DO THOSE THINGS TO GINO'S STORE, STEVIE?

I...

FRIDAY, HE PUSHED ME AROUND. SAID I WAS STEALIN'.

I WASN'T. I DON'T STEAL. HONEST, I DON'T.

ALL RIGHT, SON, HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO.

I WANT YOU TO GO HOME,

TELL YOUR FOLKS THE WHOLE STORY

AND HAVE THEM CALL ME

AT THIS NUMBER HERE AROUND 6:00 IN THE EVENING, OK?

THAT'S MY NUMBER.

OK, YOU GOT THAT? YOU GUYS GOT THAT?

YEAH. ALL RIGHT. GO ON.

ALWAYS THE COP, AREN'T YOU, HOOKER?

NEVER OFF THE JOB.

IT'S WHAT I DO.

LYNNE! HE WAS AT THE STUDIO.

AH, IT HAPPENED SO QUICKLY,

I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE WHO HE WAS UNTIL HE WAS GONE.

AND THEN I REMEMBERED THAT THE TWO OF YOU WENT OUT TO LUNCH.

WILL YOU CALM DOWN? WHO WAS AT THE STUDIO?

IT WAS HIM. I'M SURE. THE BARBER.

AND HE WAS LOOKING FOR YOU, LYNNE.

HE WAS LOOKING FOR YOU.

THE LAB TRACED THE OIL TO 5 MAKES OF MOTORCYCLES

AND ONLY 185 DEALERS IN THE STATE.

BUT THE BROKEN BRAKE LEVER NARROWS IT TO 2 MAKES AND 50 DEALERS,

SO I PUT TOGETHER A LIST OF LOCAL DEALERSHIPS,

THE ONES THAT I'VE CIRCLED RENT, TOO.

THAT'S VERY GOOD, DEAR.

OH, I MEAN, EXCELLENT WORK, OFFICER SHERIDAN.

I'LL CHECK OUT THE DEALERS ON OUR BEAT TOMORROW.

IT'S STRANGE, BUT NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE CHANGED,

I'D NEVER FORGET THOSE EYES.

MY PHONE HASN'T STOPPED RINGING

SINCE THAT PIECE ON THE BARBER CAME OUT IN THE AFTERNOON PAPERS.

PAPERS?

I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT, HOOKER.

CAPTAIN,

NOW FOR CERTAIN, WE'VE TO PUT A 24 HOUR GUARD ON LYNNE.

SHE'S MOVED SINCE THE ATTACK 8 YEARS AGO,

BUT IF THIS GUY FOUND HER STUDIO,

HE'LL FIND OUT WHERE SHE LIVES IN NO TIME AT ALL.

WELL, I'M SHIFTING THINGS AROUND,

BUT UNTIL THE A.M. WATCH COMES ON,

THE BEST I CAN DO IS HAVE THE SECTOR CAR ROLL BY EVERY FEW HOURS.

I'M OFF-DUTY. I'LL STAY WITH HER

UNTIL YOU CAN GET SOMEBODY OUT THERE FULL-TIME.

ROMANO'S OFFERED TO HELP.

ALL RIGHT, HOOKER, YOU GOT IT.

YOU SAY ROMANO OFFERED TO HELP?

JUST EXACTLY WHERE IS HE, HOOKER?

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR HIM ALL DAY.

RODNEY?

RODNEY. HE IS THE MOST IRRITABLE, INSUFFERABLE,

CANTANKEROUS ANIMAL I'VE EVER SEEN.

ROMANO? OH, YOU MEAN RODNEY.

WELL, IF I CATCH UP WITH ROMANO,

I'LL TELL HIM YOU WANT AN APPOINTMENT.

DO THAT, SERGEANT, PLEASE.

IT'S ALL COMING BACK, EVERY FRIGHTENING MOMENT OF IT.

HIS EYES, SO... SO INTENSE,

SO EVIL.

AND I ALSO REMEMBER SMELLS,

IMPRESSIONS, GOOD MEMORIES FROM OUT OF NIGHTMARES.

WELL, LET'S HEAR 'EM.

AFTERSHAVE, HOOKER.

STRONG, SWEET. YOURS.

AND THE SIGHT OF YOU STIRRING YOUR COFFEE AT MY OLD APARTMENT,

WHILE YOU THOUGHT I WAS NAPPING IN THE LIVING ROOM.

AND THEN THE KILLINGS ENDED, THE THREAT WAS PAST,

AND YOU WERE GONE.

NO, NOT GONE. NOT THERE MAYBE, BUT NOT GONE.

FOR A LONG TIME AFTER THOSE 2 WEEKS WERE OVER,

EVERY TIME I CLOSED MY EYES,

YOU WERE THERE.

WHO'S THERE?

ROMANO, SARGE.

HI, LYNNE. EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

PERFECT. I JUST DIDN'T REALIZE HOW LATE IT WAS.

HOW'S IT WITH YOU?

WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET THIS GUY, I'M ALL FOR IT.

JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU SPLIT,

SO I CAN NOTIFY THE A.M. WATCH WHEN THEY COME IN.

GET USED TO IT, FELLA, I'M HERE ALL NIGHT.

HELLO.

HOOKER, YOUR INTERPOL IDEA PAID OFF.

THE FINGERPRINTS ARE IDENTICAL TO THOSE

OF A JOSEF PICARDIS.

I'M ON MY WAY HOME.

IF ANYMORE COMES IN, LET ME KNOW.

THAT WAS ABOUT HIM, WASN'T IT?

WELL, WE THINK HE'S A TURK

WHO ESCAPED FROM A FRENCH PRISON.

BUT YOU CAN'T BE SURE HE'S THE BARBER.

HE TOLD A FRENCH SHRINK

THAT HIS MOTHER WAS A GYPSY DANCER

WHO WAS PUNISHED FOR STEALING

BY HAVING HER HEAD SHAVED SO SHE COULDN'T WORK AGAIN.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT, HE'S BEEN KILLING WOMEN

JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE DANCERS?

LYNNE, I'VE SEEN SO MANY MEN LIKE THIS WITH THEIR HEADS MESSED UP.

YOU CAN'T MAKE SENSE OR LOGIC OF IT.

JUST KNOW FOR A FACT, WE'RE GONNA GET THIS GUY,

AND SOON.

I'M AS CLOSE AS THE PHONE,

AND ROMANO'S JUST OUTSIDE.

LOCK UP AFTER ME.

YES, SIR.

ROMANO?

ROMANO, YOU ALL RIGHT?

HOOKER! HOOKER, HELP!

HOOKER, PLEASE! HOOKER, PLEASE!

HOOKER, PLEASE!

THE BACK DOOR. HE'S IN THERE.

LYNNE, LOCK YOURSELF IN THE BATHROOM.

GO ON, DO IT!

WHAT ABOUT LYNNE? HOW'S SHE DOING?

WELL, LAST NIGHT BROUGHT EVERYTHING HOME TO HER.

SHE'S TERRIFIED, BUT SHE'LL TOUGH IT OUT.

ROMANO!

UH-OH.

SHE'S GOT FIRE IN HER EYES, JUNIOR.

I HOPE I DON'T CATCH ANY RICOCHETS.

YOU STOOD ME UP LAST NIGHT, ROMANO.

I'M SO SORRY, STACY. I... I TRIED TO CALL YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AND HOOKER OVER AT LYNNE HARTMANN'S.

I HEARD AND I KNOW YOU WERE BUSY,

BUT ROMANO, I SPENT ALL NIGHT TRYING TO COAX RODNEY OUT

FROM UNDER THE BARRACKS.

HI, RODNEY.

NOW, TONIGHT, AT THE END OF THE WATCH, NO EXCUSES,

YOU'RE TAKING HIM BACK.

RIGHT. TONIGHT. GUARANTEED, STACY.

THIS IS 4-ADAM-30 TO CONTROL.

WE'RE CODE 6 AT DECKER'S MOTORCYCLE SHOP,

CHECKING THE LAST ENTRY ON OUR MOTORCYCLE RENTAL SHEET.

YEAH, HERE IT IS, BUT THE NAME'S NOT PICARDIS,

IT'S PAUL VARDIK, TURKISH,

MERCHANT SEAMAN ON THE ISTANBUL CHALLENGER.

WHEN'S THE MOTORCYCLE DUE BACK?

WELL, HE WASN'T SURE WHEN HE WAS SAILING.

SAID MAYBE TONIGHT, MAYBE MONDAY.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE TALK TO THIS MAN,

SO I'M GONNA PUT AN UNMARKED UNIT DOWN HERE

UNTIL HE BRINGS THAT MOTORCYCLE BACK.

TRAFFIC TICKETS, RIGHT? I TELL 'EM TO DRIVE CAREFUL.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT BIKES.

THEY SEEM TO BRING OUT THE WORST IN SOME PEOPLE.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, MR. DECKER.

THIS GUY HAD A REAL HEAD START.

IF YOU'RE SAILING AT MIDNIGHT,

WHEN IS THE CREW DUE BACK, CAPTAIN?

NO LATER THAN 2200 HOURS.

10:00. WE'LL HAVE IT COVERED. THANK YOU, CAPTAIN.

WE'RE CLOSE, HOOKER AND GETTING CLOSER.

WITH THIS GUY, CLOSE DOESN'T COUNT.

HE'S USING THE NAME OF VARDIK NOW.

WE'RE IN A POSITION TO SEE HIM IF HE RETURNS

AND WILL MAINTAIN UNTIL RELIEVED BY AN UNMARKED UNIT.

WILL YOU RELAY THAT TO GARCIA, STACY?

THAT'S A ROGER, 30. I'LL RELAY.

AND WE'VE JUST RECEIVED A REPORT FROM X-RAY 32.

THEY FOUND VARDIK'S MOTORCYCLE ABANDONED 2 BLOCKS

FROM DECKER'S MOTORCYCLE SHOP.

WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?

MAYBE HE MADE US, OR THE STAKEOUT TEAM.

4-W-90,

CHECK THE COMPUTER FOR ANY AUTO THEFTS

IN THAT AREA THIS AFTERNOON, WILL YOU?

THAT'S A ROGER, 30, STAND BY.

WHAT ARE YOU AFTER?

JUST COVERING THE BASES, JUNIOR.

30, WE'VE GOT A REPORTED THEFT ON A LATE-MODEL GREEN PLYMOUTH

WITH UTAH PLATES,

LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY ABOUT THE SAME TIME.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SUSPECT OBSERVED MATCHES VARDIK.

ROGER.

HE COULD WALK HERE FROM THE MOTORCYCLE SHOP.

HE'S GONNA USE THAT CAR TO MAKE ANOTHER RUN AT LYNNE.

LET'S HIT IT.

6:00, LYNNE SHOULD BE ON HER WAY HOME NOW.

4-L-16, THIS IS 4-ADAM-30 ON TAC 2.

4-ADAM-30, THIS IS 4-L-16.

WHAT IS YOUR LOCATION, RYAN?

PROCEEDING NORTHBOUND ON BEACH BOULEVARD

FOLLOWING MS. HARTMANN HOME.

ROGER. BE ADVISED THAT SUSPECT

MAY BE DRIVING A LATE-MODEL GREEN PLYMOUTH

WITH UTAH LICENSE PLATES.

ROGER.

NO GREEN PLYMOUTH.

EVERYTHING LOOKS OK HERE.

30, SHE JUST MADE A HARD RIGHT

AND TOOK OFF WEST ON COURT STREET.

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

DON'T LOSE HER, RYAN.

AND KEEP THOSE LOCATION DIRECTIONS COMING.

IT WAS HOT AND FOUL BACK THERE, BUT I WAS PATIENT.

AND FINALLY YOU CAME TO ME.

WE'RE GOING WEST ON GLEN COVE.

I CAN SEE A 2ND PERSON IN THE CAR WITH HER.

SHE WAS ALONE WHEN SHE LEFT THE STUDIO.

I CHECKED PERSONALLY.

IT MUST BE VARDIK.

HE MUST'VE SLIPPED INTO HER CAR SOMEHOW.

WE'RE COMING UP AT GLEN COVE.

COULD BE THEY'RE HEADED FOR THE HARBOR BRIDGE.

WE'LL COVER THAT BASE, TOO.

DISPATCH, 4-ADAM-30 AND 4-L-16 ARE IN PURSUIT OF A 187 SUSPECT

AND KIDNAP VICTIM WESTBOUND ON GLEN COVE.

REQUEST YOU CLOSE OFF,

REPEAT CLOSE OFF HARBOR BRIDGE NORTHBOUND.

ROGER, 4-ADAM-30.

YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS. LET ME STOP.

YOU STOP HERE AND YOU'LL DIE HERE.

TAKE ME TO THE HARBOR, TO THE DOCKS.

THERE THEY GO.

THEY WON'T STOP ME FROM KILLING YOU.

BECAUSE THEY CAN'T STOP ME.

HE'S MINE.

YOU WANT A HAND, SCUM?

GRAB IT.

COME ON.

IT'S ALL OVER, HONEY.

LET'S GO HOME.

THE DEPARTMENT THRIVES ON PAPERWORK,

BUT I PROMISE THAT'S THE LAST REPORT

YOU'LL HAVE TO SIGN.

I'M NOT COMPLAINING.

BEING WITH YOU WITHOUT A MURDERER TO WORRY ABOUT IS QUITE PLEASANT.

ABOUT LAST NIGHT, IT WAS WONDERFUL, HOOKER.

I'D LIKE TO THINK THERE'LL BE MORE.

LET'S TALK ABOUT IT OVER DINNER TONIGHT.

YOU JUST READ MY MIND, SERGEANT.

HEY, STEVIE. COME HERE.

STEVIE, WOULD YOU STOP LOOKING SO WORRIED.

YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.

I KNOW, SERGEANT. MY DAD TOLD ME THAT.

MORNING, HOOKER, LYNNE, STEVIE.

STACY. YOU'RE LOOKING CHIPPER, ROMANO.

I LUCKED OUT LAST NIGHT.

WARNER MADE UP WITH HIS WIFE, TOOK RODNEY HOME.

PERFECT TIMING. JUDITH'S BACK TONIGHT.

GOOD MORNING, HOOKER. ROMANO.

GINO. GINO, THIS IS STEVIE PINE.

STEVIE'S DAD IS BACK THERE

WITH THE DETECTIVES SIGNING SOME PAPERS.

HE HAS SOMETHING HE WANTS TO SAY TO YOU.

I'M SORRY ABOUT WHAT I DID, MR. MANELLI.

AND I'D LIKE TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE

OUT OF MY ALLOWANCE.

LOOK, MAYBE I WAS WRONG WHEN I SAY YOU STEAL

AND I THROW YOU OUT OF MY STORE

WHEN I DON'T SEE YOU FOR SURE.

IF I'M WRONG... LOOK, I'M SORRY.

ALL RIGHT, LISTEN, STEVIE,

I'VE BEEN TALKING THIS OVER WITH MR. MANELLI,

AND WHAT ABOUT YOU KEEPING YOUR ALLOWANCE,

AND YOU WORKING IN HIS STORE AFTER SCHOOL TO PAY THE BILL?

GEE, I'D LIKE THAT.

GOOD. YOU START TODAY.

WE GO FOR IT TOGETHER. DEAL?

DEAL.

SOMETHING HERE FOR YOU, ROMANO.

WHAT IS IT?

"ROMANO, I RECOGNIZE

"THE NO RETURN TERMS OF OUR DEAL.

SO I'LL TAKE HER WHEN SHE CAN TRAVEL. WARNER."

HER? SHE?

GOOD MORNING.

WHAT'S IN THE BASKET?
