Looking for a ride?

Depends on what kind of ride you're talking about.

They took me in this spooky room,

and they rubbed blood all over me.

I made a quality arrest yesterday,

and I have a feeling it's all starting to come apart.

I'm concerned about you all of a sudden.

Maybe I should have put you under protective custody.

Someone had to die before you people would do

something about a rapist, huh?

Joanne, let me take your hand.

Try to understand, I will always care.

My Joanne.

Joanne, we must make a plan for our love to stand

through the test of time.

I'm home.

It's dinner time, boys.

This promise I made to spend

my whole life loving you...

Hello.

Oh, no, no.

I can't.

Well, have you tried Kimberly?

Can you hold on a second?

Hi. No, no.

It was... it was nothing.

All right, I'll be there, 8:00.

Yeah, it's... it's all right.

No problem.

Bye.

If you scream again, I'm going to gag you!

I don't wanna do that.

Oh, God!

Oh, God.

Please, don't!

Oh, God.

Oh, my feet are killing me.

Jeez.

Now I know why they charge so much money.

They don't give it to their pimps.

They give it to their podiatrists.

Don't worry.

You will get used to it.

No, I won't.

This is simply a one day loan out.

One more bust, and I'm heading back to homicide,

where a girl can be safe.

Look who's back.

Look, right over there.

That's three times around the block, right?

Think he's interested?

Yes, he's interested.

Hey, you, brunette.

Bye.

Have fun.

Looking for a ride.

Depends on what kind of ride you're talking about.

Come on, get in.

Nice car.

Where are we going?

How much?

That depends on what you want.

Got a few friends coming over to my house tonight.

Thought you might like to join us.

Party?

Four or five of us.

Well...

You don't have to worry it's.

Nothing kinky.

Just straight sex.

Put your hand in my shirt pocket.

Will I find something special?

100 bucks?

100 now, 100 when you show up.

Bring another girl, 100 more.

$200?

That's wrong.

No, that's wrong.

See, that's called soliciting for purposes of prostitution.

Pull over to the curb.

You're under arrest.

Now, you listen to me, officer.

You are about to make one big mistake,

and I'm willing to overlook it.

Overlook this.

Pull over to the curb.

Listen, I am Warren Unger, Judge Warren

Unger of the Superior Court.

You're making a bad arrest here, friend.

This is pure entrapment.

Take my word for it, Judge, it isn't.

I'll have your butt for this!

Careful, careful.

That's what got you in trouble in the first place.

OK, here you go, number six.

Finished arrest report, tape.

You're a free woman, McCall.

I know.

I gotta tell you, though, this last one is a Superior Court

judge, and he is not pleased.

Great, that's just what I needed.

Sergeant McCall, Sergeant Hunter.

Hi, what's up?

I'm on my way to 811 South Fremont.

We got a DB.

OK, let me get cleaned up.

I'll meet you there.

Get a shot of the living room before it's dusted, would you?

He tied her up with nylons.

Looks like he got 'em from her dresser.

- Any sign of forced entry? - None.

No evidence of any tampering with any of the locks.

Maybe he had a key.

Maybe she let him in.

I'll have the print report and his blood type

in a couple of hours.

Reuben, take a look at this.

Looks like a size 14.

Is there enough to make a plaster cast?

Let's try a low angle scale photo shadowing the impression.

I think that'll work better than a cast on carpet.

Excuse me.

Right away.

L56 to William 90.

Have Brad and Navarro meet me on Tack Two, please.

Was there any sign of forced entry?

Uh-huh.

Sounds like Bigfoot all right, Hunter.

But we both know criminals don't change their MO.

Bigfoot never kills his victims.

Well, I think this killing was an accident, Brad.

She choked to death on her own vomit.

The murder seems incidental to the rape.

Otherwise, the MO is identical to the eight other rapes.

The semen on the sheet is type O. The shoe prints are size 14.

It all adds up to Bigfoot.

And Anne Mapleton fits the victim profile all the way...

White, single, between 28 and 35.

They all have good jobs.

Professionals, mostly.

They date, but they're not promiscuous.

Well, the media interest in this Bigfoot thing's

gonna go through the roof.

We may as well face it...

Our serial rapist is now a murderer.

I want you four to all work together on this.

So make copies of all your reports.

Get 'em to Hunter and McCall right away.

We're gonna have to do some regrouping around here.

Let's go.

Let's get down the morgue.

I wanna talk to you about something.

I'd like to see whatever it is you've got in the files.

It's important.

Excuse me, commander.

The DA's been trying to reach you, sir, all afternoon.

Did you tell him I've been at a budget meeting?

Yes, sir.

He sounded very upset about something.

Said to call him, no matter how late you got in.

Thank you.

Good night.

Mr. Bendichie, Commander Cain is on line 1.

Commander Cain.

Mr. Bendichie, what can I do for you?

At noon today, one of your officers, Sergeant Dee Dee

McCall, arrested Judge Warren Unger

during a Hollywood vice sweep.

My prosecutors were of the opinion

that the case against Judge Unger smacks of entrapment.

Well, can't your people simply issue a standard DA reject?

No, they can't.

This office could be accused of offering the judge

preferential treatment.

Now, Unger is a recent appointee of the Governor.

You understand these political situations, don't you?

Yes, sir.

I certainly do.

BENDICHIE: I'd consider

this a great personal favorite, Commander Cain.

And I'm sure the Governor would too.

Of course, I'm not asking you to do anything out of line.

If you feel the case against Judge Unger has merit, please

proceed with it.

I'll look into it right away.

We need an answer soon, Commander,

before the press gets into it.

I understand.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, Mr. Bendichie.

I'll get right on it.

You got stuck with the paperwork, huh?

Yeah, we flipped and Hunter won.

McCall, don't you know he cheats?

Yeah, I know he cheats.

But this time, we used my quarter and I flipped,

so you figure it out.

Where is he?

He went to go grab a bite with Navarro.

If you wanna talk to him, he has to come back.

He's gotta check out these interview transcripts.

Ah, it can wait.

I want you to read all these reports tonight, though.

I'll see you all in my office tomorrow morning, 7:00.

7:00?

If I can do it, you can do it.

Anyway, by the time the ambulance got through traffic

into the intersection, I...

Brad.

Wake up.

Look, it's late.

We got a lot of reading to do.

Why don't we just go home?

Hey, I don't have to read those reports.

I wrote 'em.

You know, Brad, McCall asked me one time if I

thought I'd ever get married.

You know what I told her?

"Mind your own business."

Yeah.

No.

I said, "if I could ever find a girl like Cathy Navarro,

I would."

McCall must have loved that.

Yeah, she agreed with me.

About Cathy, that is. See you tomorrow, Brad.

What's this?

It's from the young lady at the bar.

Hey, you still here?

No, this is a bad dream.

I'm not really here.

You don't look very good.

You ought to get some sleep.

So should you.

But you know, I think you ought to check out

the note on your desk first.

Oh, yeah?

Mm-hm.

Hm.

Hm.

"Be here at 7:00 AM."

Hey, Hunter.

Have I got something for you.

You're pretty handsome for a cop.

You think so?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Uh, and you're awfully young for an 18-year-old.

Hey, that ID's good.

How come it's still wet?

So where do you live?

Nowhere.

Nowhere.

Let me write that down.

Nowhere.

OK.

Stacey Tyler, is that your real name?

Yep, that's right.

OK.

Desk Sergeant says you wanna report a murder.

Yeah.

Debbie.

We both worked out at the Alvarado motel.

A working girl, huh?

Yeah, so?

So what happened?

A couple of months ago, um, this guy with

a pock-marked face came and picked

me up at the Alvarado Motel.

And we drove to this house in the hills, and...

Where was that?

What, the house?

Yeah.

It was near the Hollywood sign.

Whose house was it?

I don't know.

He didn't tell me his name.

I wasn't gonna ask, you know.

They took me in this spooky room,

and they rubbed blood all over me.

There must have been about four or five of them.

I remember one of them was a woman.

And they didn't really ask me to do anything.

This happened for about two more nights.

Then the man who owned the house told me about this big party

that they were gonna throw out in the desert.

And if I brought a friend, there'd be more money.

Debbie had really bad vibes about it,

but she needed the cash.

There must have been about 50 people out there.

They all stood around us. It was horrible.

They killed this cat.

Then they had sex with us, one after the other.

They took us back to separate motor homes,

and they told us to clean up.

They took Debbie.

And the man who owned the house was there.

He had a knife.

I just... I... I got so scared.

I tried to open the door, and the door was locked.

So I... I looked around.

I couldn't find another way out.

And there was a van on top of the motorhome,

so I crawled out of it.

And then I ran back up to the highway,

and I hitched back to LA.

They killed Debbie.

You saw them kill Debbie?

No, but they did.

You think they did?

She hasn't called or nothing for three days.

Please, help me!

Uh, you know, I'm concerned about you all of a sudden.

Maybe I should have put you under protective custody.

No!

Please, I'll be OK.

Really. - Yeah?

Yeah.

You got money?

No, I don't got any money.

Here, 30 bucks.

Thanks.

Do you wanna come in or something?

No, that's OK.

I'll... I'll walk you to the door, though.

No, it's OK.

I'll be all right.

Yeah?

Yeah, thanks.

I'm gonna call you tomorrow.

I want you to be here, Stacey.

Yeah?

Everything that I told you was the truth.

I swear it.

Hello, Brad.

You didn't have to wait up.

We have to talk.

Can it wait until tomorrow?

No.

Please, sit down.

What is it, Cathy?

I don't know.

I've been sitting here all night long,

trying to figure that out.

Cathy, please, can we discuss this some other time?

What happened to us, Brad?

I told you, honey, it's got nothing to do with you.

I love you.

How can you say that, and then...

Baby, I can't do what I do all day

and then come home and act like I just

worked eight hours in a bank.

It's a stinking sewer out there!

And by the end of my watch, I am so keyed up, I'm so wound...

I just got to unwind.

And you can't unwind with me anymore.

Is that it?

I don't know.

I just don't know.

I don't know either, Brad.

How are we gonna make it?

Cathy, it would kill me if anything happened to us?

I love you.

I love you very much.

I love you too, Brad.

Even though all these women have a lot in common,

we still keep coming back to the one thing we're missing.

There's a key.

We just haven't found it yet.

Well, you're just gonna have to re-interview

all the victims, then.

There must be something you're missing here!

Any idea when he'll strike next?

It's hard to say.

If he sticks to his schedule, he'll

hit in three to seven days.

Now, this Lisa Cartwright, where's her statement?

It's not in here.

She's still in the hospital.

We haven't been allowed to speak with her yet.

I'm not gonna accept that!

You've gotta talk to her, and you've gotta do it quick.

Now, come on! Let's get on this thing!

L56.

L56, code one.

This is L56.

Go ahead.

L56, William 90

requests McCall Report to Commander Cain's office.

Code two.

Great.

L56, roger, Dispatch.

What that all about?

Judge Unger.

Who else?

I knew he'd be a big pain in the...

Testing one, two.

Testing, testing one, two.

Carl, set up your camera over by the door.

Come on, guys.

Let's get these lights unpacked right away.

Looks like you're in for a bumpy road, huh?

Good luck.

Commander.

Sit down, Sergeant.

You wrote this teletype?

Well, if that's about Bigfoot, yes, sir, I did.

You are not to use slang names about this suspect

or any other suspect!

Don't you people follow any of the policies of this division?

Sergeant, before you decided to link a series of eight rapes

with a homicide case, did you have

this reviewed for approval?

I felt it necessary to get that information out

as soon as possible, sir.

Did you have this reviewed or not?

No, sir.

I did not.

I've written dozens of teletypes that

have gone out without approval.

Every detective has.

There wasn't anyone around last night to approve that when

I was finished typing it out.

I am not talking about other detectives or other teletypes.

I am talking about this piece of inflammatory guesswork

that brought that crowd of reporters down on us.

Guesswork?

Do you have any hard evidence that proves the man that you

call "Bigfoot," who committed a series of rapes,

committed yesterday's murder?

The MO is the same, and the dead woman matches

the rape victim profile.

Oh.

So based on inconclusive evidence,

and without supervisor approval, you

decided to announce that we have a homicidal serial rapist

running loose?

I don't think that the evidence is inconclusive.

I'm willing to defend my position.

You're gonna have that chance.

Those reporters downstairs, they're all yours.

Yes, sir.

By the way, Sergeant, knowing your arrest of Judge Unger

would generate a good deal of controversy,

I reviewed your report.

Strikes me that there's possible entrapment here.

Might be best for all if you dropped the charges.

Entrapment based on what?

Based on obvious weaknesses in the arrest!

Sergeant, I'm giving you the opportunity

to reconsider your actions.

I'll rely on your judgment, sir.

When I'm almost out the door, Cain brings up Unger.

He wants me to drop the charges.

He didn't give a damn about the teletype violation.

This whole thing was a charade raid for Unger.

Guy was trying to intimidate me the whole time.

Well, what did Charlie have to say about it?

He didn't say anything.

Nothing.

He just stood there and let me take it.

Well, I'm sure he had a reason for that.

Yeah, I'd like to know what it is.

He doesn't even like Commander Cain.

What are you doing sitting down?

You got a whole roomful of reporters to talk to.

- Wish me luck. - Good luck.

Make my dreams come true.

Lloyd, what are you doing home?

Uh, decided I'd come home for lunch.

Uh, I'm only working till 10:00, but don't forget to...

Pick up something on the way home?

Sure, no problem.

Wish I didn't have to leave.

Bye.

Bye, Clare.

Responsible for the rape homicide

that occurred last night.

Sergeant, what evidence

do you have that links this murder

to the eight previous rapes?

Well, I really can't comment on that.

To give information as to the modus operandi

could lead to possible false confessions or copycat crimes.

Do you have any firm leads at this time?

Sex Crimes and homicide detectives

are actively pursuing a number of leads.

Dee Dee McCall, I know you.

Isn't it unusual for a serial

criminal to change his MO, in this case

to kill his 9th victim?

I can't comment on that.

Hunter, there's a Stacey Tyler on the phone for you.

Hello, Stacey?

Hello?

Hey, Gareth, no one's on this line.

She was really scared too.

She was almost hysterical.

The line's open.

Trace it.

Keep this one off the hook, huh?

Is it true that you have

pinpointed to within a day or two

when Bigfoot will strike next?

No, not that closely.

The time has grown progressively shorter, yes, but...

Yeah, I know you, McCall.

These calculations

are based on statistical probabilities

and therefore inaccurate.

Looking for a Stacey Tyler's room.

She split.

Where'd she go?

How the hell should I know?

I'm not her pimp.

You wanna go downtown and talk about this, huh?

Hey.

Look, some dude came by a couple of hours ago,

looking for Stacey.

She came down those stairs and took one look at him

and took off.

I ain't seen either of 'em since.

Come on, man, get off my ear!

What did this dude look like?

Ugly white cat with...

With pockmarks all over...

Yeah, yeah, with them things, huh?

Now, did Stacey have a girlfriend,

maybe a girl about her own age.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What was her name?

Um, Debbie.

And I ain't seen her in a week.

This is Lincoln 56, requesting a warrant

on a missing juvenile.

Tyler, Stacey, female, Caucasian, 16 years of age,

5'2, 100 pounds.

Known to frequent the areas of La Brea and Fenton.

Subject wanted for our investigation of a 187.

If located, hold and notify Homicide, please.

Dee Dee, you were great!

Yeah, right.

No, really.

We were watching on the TV in the Captain's office.

Don't even mention the Captain to me.

That guy's on my non-person list.

Oh.

Well, you can tell me all about it on the way

to see Lisa Cartwright.

Hospital released her an hour ago.

Really?

What's wrong?

I made a quality arrest yesterday,

and I have a feeling it's all starting to come apart.

See that man just walked through here?

Sure did. Who is he?

Lieutenant Pfeiffer from Hollywood Vice.

When he comes back down, tell him I'm at Rex's.

I wanna see him right away.

You got it.

I left a message for you to call.

You didn't have to come all the way over here, Lieutenant.

You called about one of our arrests yesterday, Commander.

I figured it's about Judge Unger,

and that's not something I wanna talk about over the phone.

As a matter of fact, it does concern Unger's arrest.

Please, sit down.

I can assure you, it's a good arrest, sir.

I'm afraid I can't agree with you.

I've reviewed the case.

It looks like marginal entrapment to me.

I know the case law on entrapment inside out,

Commander.

I can assure you we're on solid ground here.

Lieutenant, I did not call you to open up a debate.

I have read the report.

And as supervisor of the arresting officer,

I would like the charges dropped and the 5-10 release

signed off.

I can't do that.

Lieutenant, Section D67 of the manual Arrest, Detention,

and Criminal Complaints clearly gives me the authority

to order the charges dropped.

The fact that you are not familiar with it

does not excuse you for what borders

on serious insubordination.

You discuss this with Sergeant McCall?

Yes, I have?

All right, Commander.

You can sign the 5-10 release.

It'll be on your desk within the hour.

Yes, Commander?

Get me the District Attorney.

Heya, Charlie boy.

How's the high blood pressure?

Oh, not good.

Sit down.

Thanks for coming.

Freddie, another cup of coffee down here.

Make it black.

Well, we both know this place hasn't

served a good cup of coffee in 20 years,

so what are we doing here?

That visit you made to Cain's office,

that's about the Unger arrest, isn't it?

Yeah.

He told me to let the good judge off the hook.

And?

I told him, no.

Said it was a quality arrest.

Then he quotes me some obscure manual article

and threatens me with insubordination.

I'll send him the 5-10.

He wants to let the guy off the hook,

he's gonna have to sign it himself.

Charlie, this whole thing stinks.

And the DA is in it up to his neck.

Sent one of his boys over yesterday

to pick up McCall's tape.

Asked me if there were any other copies.

So I made one, just in case something

happens to the original.

I'll send it to you.

What have you got on your mind?

Cain.

He's an embarrassment to every decent cop in the department.

I just wanted to see where you stood on him.

You told me.

You be careful, Charlie.

You take this to the IA, it doesn't stick,

Cain's gonna come after you.

I was in his office this morning.

He ordered McCall to knowingly disregard

the facts of this case.

And all to do a cheap political favor for the DA.

Well, it's not so cheap.

Unger is the Governor's father-in-law.

Cain is unfit for command.

And I'm gonna nail him.

Miss Cartwright, I'm Sergeant O'Hearn.

This is Sergeant McCall.

Talk fast, Sergeant.

I'm leaving.

Where are you going?

Sacramento.

My sister lives there.

Could we ask you a few questions before you leave?

Nope.

Please, Lisa.

We just need to find out some...

Hey, I saw you on television.

Someone had to die before you people would do

something about a rapist, huh?

We're not gonna let it happen again, but we need your help.

Oh, it's going to happen again.

And you guys are no closer to finding that creep

than you were three months ago.

That's why I'm leaving.

The last thing he said to me was, he'd be back.

Well, I won't be here waiting for him.

I know how you feel.

Oh, yeah?

You know what it's like to be tied up and gagged

and raped in your own house?

Yeah, I do.

Same thing happened to me less than three years ago.

Well, then maybe you do understand how I feel.

I bought this house six months ago.

And now I'm selling it.

It's gone.

Being in there scares me to death.

It's not my house anymore.

He took it from me.

We're gonna get this guy.

Oh, yeah?

Well, good luck.

Lisa.

Goodbye.

I don't mean to pry or anything, but was that true,

what you said back there to Lisa about being raped?

Yeah.

Guy was a diplomat.

I was questioning him on a case we were working on.

Guy found out where I lived.

He showed up one day, wanted me to go out with him.

I said no.

He attacked me and he raped me.

He had diplomatic immunity, and nobody

did a damn thing about it.

My God.

I did the same thing Lisa did.

I sold my house to the first people who made an offer.

Hey, what did she say?

What did she say?

She said that, uh, she bought her house six months ago?

Uh-huh.

So how many of the other victims

do you think bought their homes within the last six months?

I don't know, kid, but let's find out.

Uh-huh.

You sure?

Where have you been?

It's a long story.

Yeah, thank you.

Damn, I thought we had it.

All nine victims bought their homes within the last year.

If they had the same realtor, that would be our missing link.

The guy would have the key to all their homes!

No luck, huh?

No.

All nine sales were made by nine different realtors.

McCall.

I saw you on television today.

You're very beautiful.

Thank you.

Who's speaking?

I'm the man you're looking for.

Really?

Put a trace on line six.

Well, it sounds to me like...

Like you might be teasing.

I've been known to do a little teasing.

OK.

Well, if you are the man I'm looking for,

then where can I find you?

I'm closer than you think, Dee Dee.

Yeah?

Like where?

You'll find out soon enough.

Really?

Well, I'll tell you what.

I'd really like to meet you.

I bet you would.

He hung up.

What have you got?

Run it by me again.

Yup.

Thanks.

This guy's calling from your house.

Zebra 20, cover the back.

McCall and I'll cover the front.

Go to code two.

Roger, L56.

Brad, you in?

We're in.

All clear up here.

He's gone.

Nothing looks disturbed.

You smell that cologne?

Yes, and I've smelled it before.

That's Bigfoot.

He was here.

Brad, put out a code four.

Get rid of the Air Force.

Maybe we can turn this thing around on Bigfoot.

Turn it around?

Well, he doesn't know that we know he called from here.

Maybe he'll be back.
