My name is Simon.

I live in a storm drain.

When it rains most people go in,

but I go out.

Some people call me a warlock.

But I really am one of the few, true magicians.

Simon Sines...

Sinestrari...

Where you live Simon?

No place of residence.

Amulets and Talismans.

What is this, Simon?

What's this writing here?

Aramaic.

You speak Aramaic?

Nobody speaks Aramaic. It's a dead language.

He doesn't know what it means.

I know what it means.

Well, what does it say then?

Well, come on, Simon. What's it say?

Good trip.

- Vagrancy. - Loitering.

I was just sitting on a curb.

Do you know Hercules?

Hercules?

Hercules, Hylas -

Hercules Van Sant.

You should know him. All kinds of people go over there.

Hey, if you want to run for office.

Hercules says he can get anyone elected.

Thirty days.

You notice how long he waited before he said

"suspended sentence?"

Just time for your balls to crawl up in your crotch.

They got it down to a science.

Watch your step.

So he's got a plethora of delectables, huh?

Huh?

Food. Your friend has food?

Oh, yeah. He has caterers and everything.

He's having a party tonight if you want to go?

Outta sight.

Been here long?

Be it ever so humble.

What do you do for bread?

Spells, incantations,

charms, curses,

I'm a magician.

Warlock? Male witch?

Oh, wow, far out.

How? Where'd you learn it?

My master.

Every real magician has a master.

God rest his soul, if he still has one.

He taught me the fundamentals.

From then on, it was up to me.

Tricks?

No tricks. Real miracles.

Live with your folks?

No.

What do you do for your bread?

Oh.

(Crosstalk)

- What's that? - Oh, that's an honor badge from Sunday school.

Well it is.

Simon?

This is Simon.

He's a magician.

Simon.

Your bag of tricks?

Simon's the real thing.

Hercules?

Excuse me.

What'd you think of Hercules?

Excuse me, will you?

(Crosstalk)

Quite everybody. Quiet, please.

We have with us tonight a great master,

a real magician,

a warlock.

His name is Simon. And he is coming right off the heat.

To cast spells and work wonders.

(Crosstalk)

I work for money.

No one is for free. The price matches the effort.

But for those without courage to invest in a major miracle,

I have here some minor miracles,

tangible to the touch and modest in price.

I have here the pentagram of Solomon the King,

cunningly engraved in semiprecious metal.

I also have amulets, charms and for those who need it,

certain things to make you more adaptable to your partner.

I see we have a dollar there.

And one, just a minute, wait a minute.

This is from Solomon's brother.

I have one here that will match your outfit perfectly.

Thank you.

Who's he?

He's a real magician.

You must realize I don't even know where you live,

not that it's much money.

I know where he lives.

You really can get him what he wants?

Um-hmm, without doubt.

I think you're serious.

Poor boy.

He could have any girl he wanted

or any man for that matter.

Always the unattainable.

Well, alright.

As far as your problem is concerned,

buy your material and make your trinkets.

I wouldn't want you to disappoint my guests.

And do what you can for Turk.

You know one of my guests was particularly struck by you.

You do know.

Please be discreet, Simon.

Her father is the District Attorney.

Does the District Attorney know that his daughter's dropping pills?

Hey, anybody home?

Simon?

Simon, where are you?

You're going the wrong way.

Oh.

Don't ever come looking for me when I'm not here.

How would I know if you're not here?

Now look, don't pass this place without me.

That goes right to the ocean. There's no way out.

Come on up.

You get it?

Sure.

Here's the money.

And here's the hair.

You sure it's hers?

Sure, I'm sure.

Sure it's not a fall?

I took it off the back of her neck.

Was she suspicious?

No.

But her husband thought I was real romantic.

Get over there in the corner.

We're going to work with ammonia,

so we'll need your effluvium in this.

Well?

Well, what?

Effluvium, my boy.

The ambrosial fluid from the instrument of love.

Oh, heh-heh.

It's kinda cold in here.

Think of the warmth that awaits you.

Now what's the matter?

You got any pictures?

Pictures?

Oh, great goddess Aphrodita,

sovereign ruler of love between man and woman, hear me.

Send your power into these two essences

and draw them into blissful conjunction.

Co-join, Co-join. Co-join.

Light from the east, light from the west,

light from the south, light from the north.

Poseidon,

mighty ruler of the ocean, hear me.

Take this sigil into your depths

to hold and keep till the pale moon rises.

Whereupon, release it fully

and without stint.

We are done.

Well, there you go stud.

On the full moon, your dreams come true.

There's a full moon coming up soon.

Future can be divined only in essence,

never in terms of specific events.

The gods leave those to us.

Now, place your hand on the deck.

Place your hand on the deck.

Now, choose a card and place it here.

The fool.

Is that you or me?

Colin, be serious.

You're completely unaware of future events.

Oh. But you're going to tell me about it aren't you?

Another card.

The Magician.

This must be you.

It is.

Another card.

The warning.

Do not tip the balance of justice.

It's my office to warn you of extreme danger.

Retaliation awaits.

You aren't going to give him one of those checks, are you?

Well, why not? He can read the future.

He won't take it.

Simon, here you are.

Thank you my man, thank you very much.

And I want you to know that it was worth every penny of that.

Can you really see the future?

I divine it.

Are you psychic?

A psychic's passive.

I see what I will to see.

What do you see now?

Someone I've known.

Oh, I've just had the strangest feeling.

It's d�j� vu.

This moment's happened before.

What is it?

Rain.

It's raining.

Simon?

My tools.

Simon?

Later.

O dear, gods on high.

Though you push me down a thousand times, I'll climb back up.

Until I'm more than a man,

till I stand among you, your equal.

Perfect.

Got a pen?

Yeah.

You understand I don't want any trouble.

Neither do I.

No cooking down here.

Please don't think I'm prejudiced, Rabbi.

I hope you'll be happy down here.

You'll be my witness. I'm not prejudiced.

Didn't you sign this check?

You almost got me arrested.

You didn't know beforehand? A great wizard like you?

I'm a magician, not a psychic.

I'm a serious practitioner of the magic arts.

He called me a quack.

What did you expect?

He was never serious about it.

I gave an honest reading. I deserve honest payment.

It's all very unjust, isn't it Simon?

Aren't you going to use your powers to un-tip the scales of justice?

Do you know what you're saying?

I'm saying if you really believe in all this nonsense,

it's high time you learn the truth.

Go ahead. Work your witchcraft.

Balance the scales and we'll all watch.

But for your own good, be honest enough to admit it when nothing happens.

Mr. Van Sant,

I accept your challenge.

But have it understood that half of it,

half of it comes back on your head.

I'll risk it.

Name it.

Well, do your best.

The whole ball of wax.

He'll die within two days.

Witchcraft and witchcraft only.

I carry half.

You carry half.

And soon you'll know what that means.

My boy, you don't know how important it is for a magician

to have the right kind of workshop.

You gonna build a house?

A platform, properly stationed with regard to the magnetic poles

from which to launch forth my evil missile,

with lumber by Wyman Brothers.

Are you really -

- really gonna curse him?

Bright and early tomorrow morning.

Groovy.

We shall now wend our way to the boudoir

and partake of the gift Dionysus.

Into the stygian darkness I lead my fair companion -

Get out of the water.

To have, to hold, forever.

Simon, can anyone work magic?

No.

Why not?

Gotta have the gift.

How do you know if you've got the gift?

You know from the minute you're born.

Have I got the gift?

No.

Well, let's say I do have the gift.

What then?

The four virtues of magic: Knowledge, will, courage,

and silence.

What kind of knowledge?

Take anyone.

They'd say, "O great goddess Aphrodite."

Or worse still, "Aphrodite", nothing would happen.

Why?

Because, it's Aphrodita.

Should a deity listen when you can't even pronounce its name?

And you've got to speak with respect.

What about reincarnation?

What about it?

Is it true?

Yes.

How do you know it's true?

I remember my former life.

I can't.

You're not supposed to.

Then how come you can?

Because I'm a magician.

Things carry over from life to life,

determine what's possible and what isn't.

How do you do it?

I told you too much.

Come on. Tell me.

Two barriers stand in your way.

You have to remember your own birth and your former death.

But these memories are very painful, so don't try.

Once you get past them, you can remember everything.

But don't try. You've got no right knowing.

I like you.

I'm Simon.

I'm god.

I command you to leave this house.

I bar your return with the sign of man's sovereignty.

Go!

Go!

Go!

Go back to sleep.

Bye-bye, chickie.

You better go now.

Can't I watch?

No.

I want to see how you do it.

Well, I guess I'll be going now.

Don't forget to take a bath.

A bath?

There's a full moon tonight.

See you.

Now, you gentlemen wouldn't want to fool a friend now, would you?

I mean, this is some of the heaviest stuff we've dealt, man.

We're thinking about keeping it ourselves. Right?

Right, it's definitely two-toke stuff.

Colin?

Hey, ah, Colin.

Hey, man. You get out of the way.

Colin, split, man.

Colin, hey man, split, yeah, split. Get out of the way, Colin.

Colin, get outta the way, man -

(Crosstalk)

I carry half.

You carry half.

Get him out of here.

Get him out of here!

(Crosstalk)

If you want to tell me about it, I can help you.

My father's the D A.

There's nothing the law can do.

You must be awfully clever.

I cursed him, a death curse.

It was easy. He was ripe for it.

You carry half.

You put a curse on Hercules, then?

No. He cursed himself.

He challenged me and I had to do it or lose my power.

What happens to Hercules, then?

He'll suffer, just as I'll suffer.

Only, I'm used to it.

Hey, you're just in time.

Give me a hand.

Wow.

Far out.

Isn't this the pad you were kicked out of?

It was just a slight misunderstanding, my boy.

I find a liberal dose of cash solves almost any misunderstanding.

Now you grab the other end and be careful.

Which one is yours?

Mine lies beneath the surface,

a basement for the unimaginative. But to a magician,

a place of dwelling, ideally suited to his work.

We're moving up in the world thanks to Linda.

Yeah, sure, from a storm drain to a basement.

Who's your interior decorator?

Hercules would love this place.

How'd you make out?

Fantastic.

Good as you thought?

Oh, yeah.

I'm gonna see her again, tonight.

Well, just watch out for her husband.

Oh, he's a real trip, too. He likes to watch.

- Is this the mirror you, ah? - Yeah.

Hello in there.

Will it pick up TV?

It'll pick up anything I want it to.

Any time, any where, any one.

I can see, hear, smell, taste,

I can even feel through it.

Far out. Turn it on.

It's not that simple.

First, I must charge the effluvial condenser.

You're weird.

We now commence.

Magnetic electric. Magnetic electric.

Charge. Charge.

Magnetic charge.

Electric charge.

Magnetic charge.

Electric charge.

Magnetic charge.

Electric charge.

Magnetic- don't- charge- watch it.

Electric charge.

The knife- magnetic charge.

Electric charge.

Magnetic charge.

Electric charge.

Magnetic charge.

Electric charge.

Magnetic charge.

Electric charge.

Magnetic charge.

Electric charge.

Magnetic charge.

Electric charge.

Magnetic charge.

Electric charge.

Magnetic charge.

Electric -

Damn -

I failed, this time.

I magnetized you and caught got in my own snare.

Lust creates lust.

Well, dear the gods are jealous.

They defend their magic fire with radiant walls of instinct

which dazzle the intruder with irresistible pleasure

so that he staggers away blinking into oblivion.

But I'm a magician.

And I'll stone the bastion again, and again,

life after life, through an agony of time until I seize it.

Here's that man again.

Who's with him this time?

Her name's Linda.

Does she know?

What's it matter? She serves him, not us.

No innocent babes for her.

Into the abyss once again, Simon steps beyond his knowledge.

No innocent babes for her.

That's a curse.

Her man's an end, not the means.

All I touch, I corrupt.

Joyously into sin, deeper and deeper,

until the gods stand defenseless.

Then I conquer.

I don't attach much importance to that.

No. And who told you that?

Well, he's always been an ill-wisher.

Set your mind at rest. I, I've never felt better.

And he can just go to hell.

Oh, hold on a minute. There's someone at the door.

Yes?

Well, who's there?

I'm in no mood for games.

Damn you.

(On The Phone) Hercules. Hercules, are you alright?

Simon!

She split. Ally's gone. Simon you gotta do something.

He took her away.

And I can't get rid of it.

I tried everything.

Acute priapisis, eh?

Well, there's only one thing to do.

Hurry up.

Hold your water. I'll be there in a jiffy.

Alright, mm-mm, bad case.

Well, it'll all be over in a minute.

Here now.

Take these two ends and pull them tight.

What are you gonna do?

Heh-heh, only one thing to do.

- Now lis - - Simon -

Listen now. You won't feel a thing.

No - - Come on. Come here.

Trust me. Will you come here?

I'll hypnotize you. You won't feel a thing.

Look into my eyes.

Look into my eyes!

It's gone.

Just like magic.

Listen, what's the story on the witches?

It's all set.

Oh, yeah. When?

Tonight at 8:00.

In town?

Out, far out.

But I got Linda to loan us her wheels.

Well, you go get 'em, will you? I gotta get dressed.

Get that will you?

Hi.

Tell Simon I'm here.

What's the matter?

Well, well, well.

Wasn't at all like you thought, was it?

You know, I told you you'd carry half.

A bargain's a bargain.

I, I never thought -

That's the point.

I could make you crawl and beg, but I won't.

You have to ask me to release you.

Release me.

Hold out your hands.

Take that.

Now, hold out the cord and close your eyes.

Now ask.

Release me.

Again.

Release me.

Again!

Release me!

Alright.

Now go home

and pick up your life again, just as though none of this ever happened.

Well, these chicks are on a weird trip. They'll do anything.

When I was a kid, I thought they were a bunch of old hags.

Now some of them are pretty groovy.

When I told them you were a real magician,

oh boy, did they freak out.

So, you can have your pick.

Wait'll you meet Sarah.

She says she's the Queen of the Witches.

But she's just an old foreign broad with wild hair.

But anyway, she's a real trip.

Come on.

Sarah says it's okay.

(Chanting)

(All Chanting)

(Chanting)

I have an announcement to make.

We have with us tonight,

someone from the other realm, a magician.

As you all know, we of the Wicca worship the Queen of the Night.

While he follows the lesser orb of the day,

but we shall be kind and trust,

that our form of worship will be instructive to him.

Queen of the Night,

we invoke your representative.

Send him to us,

we who adore you, to oversee our worship.

Mendes! Mendes! Appear!

Appear and reign for her.

(All Chanting)

(Singing)

Don't touch me. I'm a religious object.

(Singing)

Cast off the veil and expose thy charm to Mendes.

(All Chanting)

Stand up!

Kneel down!

Stand!

Kneel down!

Stand up!

The witch's witching staff.

The staff.

Don't you understand?

Zackety, rackety, plackety, clackety, is-one, does-one, fly.

Fly!

Won't anyone fly?

Alright, if you don't fly on it, then you shan't lie on it!

Ha-ha.

Profaner! Profaner!

(Crosstalk)

Oh, I was just talking about you.

Omar's glad to hear that.

Your chauffeur.

Sure.

Is everything alright?

Oh, I have some people who would like to meet you.

Dan, our local wizard and warlock.

Simon, Mr. Dan Davies our Police Commissioner.

- Simon. - Hello, Mr. Davies.

You know Linda.

Linda, how's your father?

Doing his job, Commissioner.

Yes - Shall we circulate a bit?

Oh, excuse me.

Now that is a very heavy cat.

Oh, come on now, Shay.

A phenomenon like that hasn't been seen in a centuries.

Sailors and miners see it all the time.

Why, it's just static electricity.

Why don't you just explain that to Hercules.

Way to go. Way to go, baby.

Way to go.

You wouldn't like her.

Do you know her?

You look silly in that hat.

I have a car too.

Far out.

It's a new Cadillac.

I drive a Mercedes.

Highly overrated.

How much does he give you?

More than you've got.

Try me.

You better cool it or I'll have Simon put a curse on you.

Listen, sweetie. I've been cursed so many times,

once more wouldn't make any difference.

(Crosstalk)

Simon, there's this faggot over here and he's been trying to pick me up.

And I told him you could put a curse on him

and he didn't believe me.

Um, could you maybe do it just for me?

I've got it.

I see it.

It's nothing but a plain old-fashioned double bind.

Someone who really turns me on will also be someone to make me lose control, right?

That was the problem with Linda.

And unless I am turned on, there's no charge to control.

The charge, my boy, the charge.

Nothing matters but the charge.

But there's another way.

Another mode whereby the person, the vehicle,

might serve to build a charge.

The charge that I'll send into the divine effluvial condenser.

Ritual flagellation. Violence.

To strike, not to strike simultaneously.

Oh, dear heart, you're so romantic.

I'm quite flattered.

Okay, Stanley. Now you just stand right here.

Don't forget the rings, sweetie.

Reverend?

Oh, I have a feeling something very strange is going to happen.

Fire, air, water, earth... Fire, air, water, earth...

Is there a fee for this service?

Magnetic, electric, magnetic, electric, charge, charge.

Go there and kneel.

This isn't a human sacrifice is it?

Kneel.

This isn't at all what I bargained for.

Magnetic, electric, magnetic, electric, charge, charge,

charge, charge.

Fire, air, water, earth, charge -

But at least it's different -

Fire, air, water, earth, charge, charge, charge, charge.

Fire, air, water, earth, charge, charge, charge, charge.

Fire, air, water, earth, charge, charge, charge, charge.

Fire, air, water, earth, charge, charge, charge, charge.

Fire, air, water, earth, charge, charge, charge, charge.

Fire, air, water, earth, charge, charge, charge, charge.

Fire, air, water, earth, charge, charge, charge, charge.

Charge, charge, charge!

(Laughing) I've done it!

I've done it! (Laughing)

I've done it!

Do you realize a cosmic event has occurred?

Once in a dozen lifetimes, my boy.

Gods on high, and gods below, here I come.

Behold the launching pad.

Come here.

Over here, we have the engine.

Now, I'll show you why knowledge is power.

It's all perfectly clear.

I mean to those understand, it's clear.

Without these calculations, all my efforts would be wasted.

Worse than wasted

because without them the whole trip would be a colossal bummer.

Time, my boy.

Time is one of the most essential factors.

Without knowledge of the currents of time,

we'd be victims, we'd be

pawns, a mere phenomenon, understand?

I'll open this mirror at 1:33,

the precise moment in time

when the gods are unable to resist my thrust into their domain.

But once I'm in, I'm in. There's nothing they can do.

All the powers of the gods will be mine.

And so, my friend, you've been a prince of a fellow,

an irreplaceable companion, joy forever.

Keep in touch, alright?

Good night.

See you.

And so to bed.

A search warrant?

They're herbs, man. They're just herbs.

Herbs. Nothing but herbs.

Traces of blood along here, but it's animal,

probably chicken.

But there's something that's unusual.

Pick it up.

See what I mean. You don't seem to want to touch that thing.

What the hell is it?

Don't know. It's not radioactive,

as far as I can see, it's nothing but a bar of metal.

He claims that it's a religious object and that it's

charged with a vital force.

And you know something?

I'm inclined to believe him.

I don't interfere in your affairs very often.

But this time I insist.

No, I insist.

Look.

I don't interfere in your affairs very often, either.

Why don't we try to keep it that way?

Baby, believe me,

for longer than you've lived I've been in daily contact with the seamy side of life.

Now, I know what goes on and I know what comes out of it.

Shut up!

If you insist on seeing this man,

I'll lock him up and nothing you can say will get him out.

Don't do that daddy, for your sake.

For my sake?

Yes.

Simon's not just anybody.

Oh.

Who is he?

Simon's a magician.

Alright, Linda. Here it is.

You're to stop seeing that man right now or else.

And that's that.

This afternoon, at exactly 1:33, local mean time,

I'll enter into the realm of high magic.

My life's purpose will then be attained.

It'll be a cosmic event felt throughout the entire universe.

Greetings, sir.

And how are you this fine morning?

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

He's not feeling very well.

Perhaps it's something in the air.

Oh,

then by your leaves, sir, we shall withdraw.

I think you're crazy.

Well, I'm not, not at all.

Trees are such wonderful creatures.

They're marvelously wise.

They've taught me things even my master didn't know.

Bye.

You know the powers have ingenious methods for thwarting our purposes.

But, it's all part of the game because every time we climb back up

we're that much stronger, that much wiser,

though I've had my doubts from time to time.

But this time is it.

Every thing's right.

The time and the tides, the stars and my soul,

a major working will be done.

I'm irresistible.

Don't you think me irresistible?

Yes.

Yes, Simon. You're irresistible.

I know.

I'm gonna be at for a week or two.

- And there's something I want you to promise me. - Yeah?

During the major working, do not get high.

I mean don't even smoke any dope.

Why?

Just because.

Just because, why?

Do you have to know?

Um-hmm.

Alright, a major working can be very dangerous.

So?

Well, I mean when you're high,

any kind of high, you're wide open.

Hostile entities could attack me,

me and mine.

Okay?

Okay.

You promise?

I promise.

You're to stop seeing that man right now or else.

And that's that.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I was just thinking of something.

Simon?

You'll call me won't you?

I'll call you.

Promise, you won't forget.

I won't forget.

Hey, hey, Simon!

Hey, man. We gotta talk to you.

A lot of heavy things are going down.

Well -

The D A's really coming down hard on everybody,

all the dealers, everybody man.

Yeah, but, it's because of his daughter, man.

Well, stay clean a while.

You don't understand, man.

If Rackum wants to get somebody he's got this narc,

Pete the Planter.

And if he wants to set somebody up and then he busts him.

Well, so can you do it for us, man?

I mean can you put a curse on him?

Who?

The narc, man, John Peter.

Not now.

We'll get you a chicken, man.

I can't.

A turkey?

It's a good thing I caught you before you went in.

There must have been 90 guys there

all looking at one of your jars.

And then this guy, Pete says, "How's this for smack?"

And they looked like they were gonna applaud or something.

Oh, man, I told you about that cat.

How much stuff was there, man?

About half a cup.

Half a cup? What a waste.

Oh, man, I wonder who could have put up all that bread?

Hey, got something for you.

Thought you might be needing it.

- Then this tall guy walks... - What time is it?

It's a little after 2:00.

Then this tall guy walks up and ah,

as everyone's calling him sir, I...

...I... I split.

Simon.

You missed your trip.

I want him out of this. It's going to be messy.

- Are you with me? - You can count on us, man.

You find this John Peter and talk to him alone.

That's a fine wine for a very special occasion.

You did it like I told you?

Well, yeah, man. He doesn't know why we're waiting here.

Wait inside.

Now, I want you to walk away from me

and don't look back.

Why?

What'd I do?

Nothing.

Now do like I tell you.

Now walk away.

This bond I now cut.

Alright, looky here, now.

Simon's pad is just beyond that light, okay.

Now I'm gonna boogie on out of here, man,

because I sure don't want him seeing me.

That's enough.

Enough!

Oh, let us do it, man.

No!

Well, let us watch.

You don't want to see this.

You're gonna curse the D A.

The D A, the mayor, the whole system -

Whew.

My thanks, gentlemen.

You may retire to your TV set and watch what happens.

The next few days are mine.

Mine alone.

I had to do it. I was pressured into it.

Come on. Give me a break.

I'll admit it was planted.

And John, you have one of two choices.

You can die with dignity or without it.

But to sweeten the matter

I want you to know that I have nothing personal against you or Rackum.

You're instruments of fate thrown against me at the most crucial moment of my life.

It can only mean one thing.

I'm not yet done with darkness.

Maybe this'll help.

You're about to participate in a major, magical working,

an incantation which hasn't been performed in over 2,000 years.

When it's done, you'll serve a new master

far more formidable than your old one.

I bring a gift. I bring a gift.

I bring a gift for he who slumbers.

Catago Esta Linda.

Catago Esta Linda. Catago Esta Linda.

You hear the call.

Mulloc, Mulloc,

Mulloc, Mulloc!

I bring blood.

I bring blood, behold.

I bring blood.

Give a sign.

Give sign and I proceed.

(Spirit Responds)

I proceed.

Here he is.

A child, few in years, ready to serve you.

Let him deny it.

Let him deny he serves you, if he will.

He denies it not.

He serves.

Those without, bring in.

Those within you cast out.

Modest repeat of your former delight, here, now,

within this very city.

Reverse the poles, confound the fathers.

Those within, cast out.

Those without, bring in.

Commence! Commence! Commence!

Crack open the heavens.

Crack them open and pour forth rain.

Rain.

Flood.

And continue, continue, continue until all is reversed.

Do you accept?

Give sign.

Give sign.

(Spirit Responds)

Then I deliver.

With this dagger, I send you your servant.

Mulloc, reverse.

Mulloc, flood.

Mulloc, reverse.

Mulloc, storm.

It is done.

He's not in here.

Send out an all points bulletin on John Peter

and notify the press.

(TVNewscaster) Here's a bulletin from the County Sheriff's Department.

W anted for illegal flight to avoid prosecution,

John Peter...

... A trained police officer

and must be considered armed and dangerous.

Broke from surveillance this afternoon

and when he was seen leaving town tonight, I decided the time had come.

What does the officer's possession of narcotics mean? Is he a pusher?

No.

Is he an addict?

Absolutely not.

You'll get full details at the press conference.

Commissioner did you conduct the raid yourself?

When the police have to be arrested, that's my job.

(TVNewscast)

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

... and will show our recent narcotics convictions were fraudulent

and will be set aside.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Oh!

(Crosstalk)

Alright!

You'll just have to wait until things clear up.

I want it understood that I do not intend to be knocked down by this thing.

Chief Boyle, a statement please.

Alright, I'll give you a statement.

I tell you what I expect.

I expect to see Noah's Ark sail by.

(Crosstalk)

Hal, if Peter talks we're in for a big fall.

We've got to discuss this thing now.

You discuss it.

I've got anarchy on my hands.

- Well, then call out the guards. - Guards, hell.

Hall...

Someone go get a doctor.

Go get a doctor!

(TVNewscaster) Chief Boyle was rushed to St. Mary's Hospital

where his condition- reported as-

Oh, too much, too much.

And now to Harvey Merrill with our mobile crew on the spot.

Are you there, Harvey?

I'm here, but I wish I wasn't. It's absolutely incredible.

W e haven't got your picture, Harvey.

A sudden surge in the water,

that it blew- a 300-pound manhole cover-

Tiddley Winks.

We'll try now for a picture.

That's what's left of the whole police caravan.

Ah-ha, ah-ha.

Cars inundated. Many officers... down through this manhole...

- What can we say? - Terrible, terrible.

Tonight, Governor Moran has officially declared Westside

to be a disaster area and gave us this statement.

The people of this state know there is a serious narcotics problem.

But as long as I am Governor, no law enforcement agency

will be above suspicion.

The Westside County Engineers office...

Two, four, six, eight, who do we appreciate?

Simon!

Operator, get me the district attorney's office, please.

This is an emergency.

Yes.

Ah, District Attorney Willard Rackum, please.

Well, he'll want to talk to me.

Simon.

Simon!

Alright, then take this message and make sure he gets it.

Tell him that I disposed of the material that he left in my place.

Right. Tell him that I talked to John,

John!

And will both testify if he doesn't back off.

Uh-huh, right.

Simon.

Simon? Simon?

Simon? Simon?

Simon? Simon?

Simon,

help me.

Linda.

Simon. Simon, help me.

Help me.

Fill me in.

It's not good.

At 12:44, the call came in.

All she could say was, "I'm dying, I'm dying" over and over again.

Then the line was left clear.

And they found her like that?

Right.

What was it?

Looks like pills.

She had everything in there, the whole menagerie.

What about the press?

Release it, right away.

Just as it is.

Okay.

Mr. Rackum.

She's dead.

I know.

I want to know where she got them.

I can only tell you the ultimate source,

Davies.

He has this safe.

Everything you want to know is in there.

It was Davies.

(TV News Caster) She was the only child of District Attorney Rackum.

Man, this trip's gonna be a stone bummer.

Do you realize its 3 o'clock...

If you think I'm gonna back down at your Gestapo tactics, you're wrong.

(Crosstalk)

We'll have a statement for the press in a little while, gentleman. Thank you.

(TV News Caster) Police Commissioner Davies is now being held on a charge

involving illegal possession of hot currency,

all of it found in his home safe and directly traceable to

undercover narcotic transactions.

We also have documentary evidence

which would properly proctor,

will I promise the people of Westside,

results within 48 hours,

in the arrest and eventual conviction of every dope pusher in this city.

Oh, Shit.

Man, the Smacker is splitting. He says the whole place is lame.

Everything is getting fucked up.

Call Simon, will you? Call Simon!

Well, he split too.

Sure, he split.

Hey, Simon.

Simon, hey, man.

- Hey Simon, you gotta do something, man - - Hey man -

Everything, every thing's going wrong, man.

Wait.

No!

You got to change it man.

We just saw Rackum on the tube.

Everybody's gonna get busted, man.

You gotta change it.

Are you crazy man?

What did you do that for?

- I don't know. - We needed him, man.

Well, what have you learned?

Things balance out?

That's easy.

Here's one I like.

Death is only temporary.

Think about that for awhile.
