29. But Kendricks is a suspect in a robbery down in LA.

30. Down in LA?

31. - Yeah. - Is this headed somewhere?

33. There's a prelim day after tomorrow with a motion to dismiss.

34. You drive to LA and bring back the bloodstained boots,

35. she ID's them, and the judge sets a trial date.

36. The blood, they definitely ran the ABO on the blood?

117. None that I can discuss.

118. Four dead girls, Jimmy.

119. We haven't been under this much scrutiny since the Night Stalker.

121. Sheriff hinted that we might wanna reach out to the feds for help.

122. - Are you kidding me? - Some point.

123. Some point, Jimmy. Not today.

209. From the moment she expired to the time I cuff whoever did this...

210. we work for her.

211. - Yes, sir. - Get out of here.

212. It's starting to look a lot like Illinois.

213. - It's Michigan. - Cut it out.

214. This been dusted?

215. Yeah, but it's broken. Stuff's rotten.

216. Not all of it.

217. Hey.

218. When's your boy, Columbo, gonna break my case for me?

219. Deke's got his own style.

220. We're still processing out that room.

221. What do you got, Flo?

228. Find out Julie's habits, friends, suitors, enemies.

229. They get anything across the alley?

230. They lifted a print, tested stains on the floor for semen, all negative.

231. Pull files on any known sex offenders in the area.

232. Peeping Toms, neighborhood arrests, transients included.

233. Lean on the lab for prints, all right?

234. - Mm-hmm. - Jamie, lean on 'em.

235. Okay.

236. Awfully quiet back there, Kojak.

237. - Am I missing something?

238. Any of the other girls have bites?

239. Carrie Holland.

240. One of 'em. Why?

241. Similar to a case up north, that's all.

242. Deacon.

243. Yeah?

244. Sal says you're here overnight.

245. How about you buy me breakfast?

246. Why would I wanna do that?

247. All right, I'll buy.

248. Nick's, 0800.

249. If I'm still here.

250. Go again on Wednesday?

253. - Night. - Bye.

254. Yeah, surprised the DA, too.

255. She made a second-degree offer.

256. Kendricks copped a plea.

257. What about the unforgettable boots?

258. Forget 'em. Don't need 'em. Neither will Kendricks.

259. Not where he's going.

260. - I'll see you tomorrow. - All right.

261. Morning.

262. - Morning. - Look, I know it was you

263. spotted the observatory across the street last night.

264. Might have missed that one without you.

265. You're welcome.

266. - When you leaving? - Right now.

267. Oh, that's a shame. I got something you might wanna sit in on.

275. Nice boots.

276. Hi, Stan. Jim.

277. - Where's my lawyer? - In the building.

278. Takes a while.

279. A girl from your neighborhood...

280. dead.

281. And you, a known sex offender...

282. I was taking a piss and I was in the alley.

283. You had your dick out.

284. This girl... Teenage girl, Stan.

285. She was just walking by.

286. You gotta believe me.

287. I want to.

288. I got nothing to do with this.

289. Yeah.

290. What can you tell me about Mary Roberts?

291. What?

292. Mary Roberts.

293. Mary Roberts, Stan Peters?

294. Dead girl, suspect.

295. Was he your boy?

296. You never know. Just saying hello to an old pal.

297. Well, your old pal says you broke his jaw once.

298. You gotta kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince.

299. What are you still doing here?

300. Just leaving.

301. Order up the poor boy on a Mary Roberts.

302. I'm going for a sandwich. You want one?

303. Nah, I'm good.

304. The Rathbuns are waiting.

305. Missing person.

306. Yeah, they think their daughter Ronda's a stat.

307. We got a corpse?

308. Then it's still Missing Persons.

309. So crazy, girl. You're gonna fly out of here.

310. Don't you ever get tired of looking at dead bodies?

311. I could ask you the same.

312. What's this all about, Joe?

313. Similar case up north.

314. - Thanks for doing this for me, Flo. - No problem.

315. She won't see the knife till tomorrow.

316. Well, she won't see another knife.

317. General proximity, similar pattern and depth to our other four.

318. The garbage bag was an adornment placed on her head postmortem.

319. Maybe when the guy came back.

320. Came back?

321. Unless he was a babysitter, he made a return trip,

322. moved the girl and propped her up against the door.

323. Now, turn that up for me.

324. Okay.

325. Mm... KHRT. Love songs of the '50s and '60s. Mm.

326. You get a dental on the bites?

327. Right. Uh...

328. Yeah, we did a rush on it. Inconclusive.

329. It could be the same as we found on the Holland girl.

330. More sucking, less biting.

331. Any saliva samples?

332. Funny you should ask.

333. I found traces of sodium benzoate in the bites.

334. - What's that? - Used in mouthwash. Toothpaste.

335. And check this out.

336. He gave her a postmortem shave.

337. Nicked her, no blood.

338. What about her D-tract?

339. She had one good meal before she died.

340. Speaking of which, you hungry?

341. I'll buy if you pull up an old file for me.

342. Yeah.

343. Case up north, my ass.

344. The fuck is going on, Joe?

345. I'll pull your file.

346. But if something goes wrong, I can't be there for you again, okay?

347. Okay.

348. You knew him, didn't you?

349. At least, he knew you.

350. That's why he did that to your face.

351. You let him in.

352. You thought...

353. "Eh...

354. Not my type," but...

355. maybe he could be a friend. I mean,

356. you can't get enough of them.

357. But then you had that one little feeling.

358. You thought, "What if?"

359. But you waved it away.

360. Thought, "Ah, what the hell?

361. Life's too short."

362. And you were right.

363. Life is too short, Julie.

364. And you should've listened.

365. You should've listened to that one little feeling, but...

366. Just like I'm listening to you now.

367. You can talk to me.

368. I'm all the friend you got.

369. You know my take on the world, Joe?

370. There's good and there's bad,

371. but you gotta fight.

372. Because, brother...

373. when I look in your eyes,

374. what I see...

375. it ain't good.

376. To remind me of what I did.

377. For what we did.

378. I thought you guys were finished.

379. How long has this, uh, fridge been broken?

380. I don't know. A week, maybe.

381. You're responsible for repairs?

382. Oh, are you thinking about moving in?

383. No, ma'am.

384. I called a guy to come fix it, but, uh, then, you know, the girl got killed.

385. So, suddenly, it didn't seem so important.

386. And, I mean, look. I gotta paint the walls and get rid of the mattress.

387. - Who'd you call?

388. Uh, a place around the corner.

389. AB... ABC Appliance. Something like that. ABC Appliance.

390. And the stuff in the fridge was already rotten?

391. - Yeah, yeah. - Mm-hmm. Except the milk?

392. - My kid drank it, so cuff me. - Oh.

393. - Anything else? - In the fridge?

394. There were a few beers. Why?

395. I'm gonna need it for evidence.

396. For evidence. Yeah, okay.

397. - Coming right up. - All righty.

398. How do you ever get used to it?

399. What's that, ma'am?

400. The smell.

401. You know, if you're lucky, you don't get used to it.

402. Here.

403. Close up when you're done, okay?

404. I don't want any trouble.

405. I have no connection to the girls out front.

406. - Just need a room. - Oh.

407. $20 a night, $100 a week.

408. There are some things in there from the last guy.

409. Just toss 'em in the hallway.

410. And don't worry, the sheets are clean.

411. Hey!

412. Do you want some company?

413. Good night. I love you. Love you.

414. - I love you. - Love you.

415. - Did you say your prayers? - Yep.

416. - I'll see you tomorrow. Night.

417. Good night.

418. Hey. Mm?

419. Did you set the alarm?

420. Yeah.

421. It's never over.

422. Re-interview the immigrants in the Brock apartment.

423. Jimmy.

424. All of 'em.

425. Close it.

426. - Stan Peters. - What about him?

427. Killed himself last night.

428. That's not good.

429. What the hell's this got to do with Kern County?

430. Deacon watched through the glass.

431. He's got a similar case up north.

432. It's just a little interagency cooperation.

433. Guy hasn't worked a murder since we ran him off five years ago.

434. Do you know the book on him?

435. A great detective, has a heart attack,

436. leaves town for a post in the sticks.

437. The guy worked the case so hard,

438. he got a suspension, a divorce and a triple bypass, all in six months.

439. Complete meltdown.

440. He's a rush-hour train wreck.

441. That's a tad dramatic.

442. Only good came out of it, we got you.

443. What are you saying? I took his spot?

444. Manner of speaking, yeah.

445. Piece of personal advice, Jimmy,

446. you got a good thing going here.

447. Don't get mixed up with this guy.

448. What's the big deal? He's gone.

449. His CO says he's taken vacation days.

450. - Yeah, so what? - Does he strike you

451. as the kind of guy that plays golf?

452. Employee list.

453. Repair appointment book.

454. Look for yourself.

455. So, I could even have it delivered to you tomorrow.

456. All you gotta do is go out and get some food, put it in there,

457. your kids are gonna be happy, you're ready to go.

458. Excuse me a minute.

459. - What can I do for you? - I'm Joe Deacon.

460. I need to see all repair orders for the last two weeks,

461. and a list of all your employees.

462. Thank you.

463. It's okay. You're not under arrest.

464. Yet.

465. - Here you go. - Thank you very much. Ah, this one.

466. This one's crossed out.

467. - It's a cancellation. - Yeah?

468. That's before I can get a man out.

469. And it always takes that long?

470. Hey, we're busy.

471. Yeah.

472. Yeah, I see.

473. And this is the list?

474. Mm...

475. Mm.

476. - And your name is? - Jack.

477. You all right, Jack?

478. What's your last name, Jack?

479. Aboud.

480. Thank you, Jack Aboud.

481. You don't mind if I take your list, do you?

482. Salaam alaikum.

483. Thanks, Jack.

484. Did you look at my print from the Brock apartment?

485. It's no good without one to compare to.

486. The center's missing and the computer can't work without the center.

487. Look on the bright side, the guy finally left a partial.

488. What exactly is it you guys do?

489. We make you look good in court.

490. - Dad!

491. Anything else? Jewelry, maybe?

492. A red barrette.

493. When she ran, she always used to wear a red barrette to hold her hair back.

494. I'm gonna find her.

495. Jesus.

496. It's not her.

497. Really? This how you spend your time off?

498. When's the last time you saw two hoop-dees

499. and a meat wagon going 20 miles an hour?

500. They didn't wanna come any more than I did.

501. What have you got?

502. Deceased fits the MO.

503. Stab wound, ligature, killed elsewhere.

504. - She a floater? - Yeah.

505. But they dumped overflow in here a few days back.

506. Guessing there's mud in her cavities.

507. Shallow grave, most likely.

508. You ready to tell me about Mary Roberts?

509. Your boy, Stan Peters, swallowed a 12-gauge late last night.

510. Hey, Jimmy, come give a look.

511. If you didn't know any better, from up here...

512. you might say it's beautiful.

513. Sal told me you went to bat for me with Farris.

514. It's not a wise career move.

515. You're not exactly a department favorite.

516. Maybe I can make it up to you.

517. You might wanna run these names. Couple of possibles.

518. They were working in appliance stores in Julie Brock's neighborhood.

519. It's a long shot.

520. Aren't they all?

521. Thank you.

522. Something I gotta know.

523. How's a guy with the best clearance rate in the department

524. work 15 years without a promotion?

525. Maybe I didn't go to the right church.

526. Hm.

527. Do you believe in God, Joe?

528. When I see a sunrise or thunderstorm

529. or dew on the ground, yes, I think there's a God.

530. When I see all this, I think he's long past giving a shit.

531. I still owe you breakfast.

532. Yes, you do.

533. This is great. Thank you.

534. You're welcome.

535. Joe's in Kern County now.

536. Mm. Your wife drag you away?

537. I'm divorced.

538. Oh. Well, I'd like to get out of the city, but Jim won't leave.

539. - Hm.

540. You work homicide there, too?

541. Uh, no, ma'am. I'm just a...

542. a dep.

543. Hi.

544. Hi. - My precious.

545. That's Mr. Deacon, Chloe.

546. How do you do?

547. Very well.

548. Do you have any kids, Joe?

549. Uh, two girls. They're... they're all grown now.

550. All grown up.

551. I'm gonna be late.

552. - We ready to take Jen to school, baby? - Mwah.

553. Got a parent-teacher conference until 5:00,

554. so the girls are gonna stay at Mom's until dinner.

555. That's fine. - Okay. I love you.

556. Where are you going?

557. Nice to meet you, Joe.

558. Thank you.

559. - She's beautiful.

560. They all are.

561. - Yeah.

562. I'll run the names on the list. Where can I reach you?

563. St. Agnes.

564. I've heard of living on the beat, but that's above and beyond.

565. Wanna meet after shift, compare notes?

566. You may have to ask the Reverend Captain about that.

567. It's my case.

568. You look good, Marsha.

569. - You too, Joe. - Thank you.

570. I was just on my way to work. If I'd known you were coming by...

571. Gotta get going anyway.

572. - Let me... let me grab my purse. - Okay.

573. - House looks good.

574. Glad you kept it.

575. Lawn, too.

576. Yeah, well, Tom's a...

577. He's a wiz in the yard.

578. Better than me.

579. Well, you never really had time for that kind of thing.

580. How are the girls?

581. - Good. - Good.

582. You ought to give 'em a call.

583. Yeah. Yeah.

584. Yeah.

585. Yeah, I should.

586. You all right?

587. You know me.

588. Yeah.

589. I know you.

590. Well...

591. I gotta...

592. All right.

593. Bye, Joe.

594. Bye, Marsha.

595. Mary Roberts. Paige Callahan, Tamara Ewing.

596. I only asked for Roberts.

597. Yeah, well, all the victims were hookers,

598. they were all found drugged and stabbed to death

599. on the same night in the same location.

600. You gotta be kidding me.

601. Yeah, I'm hilarious.

602. I never figured you to be so hip.

603. Yeah, they must have...

604. must have changed owners.

605. You want something to drink?

606. Don't worry, I won't tell.

607. Where are you from? Originally.

608. The Valley.

609. Where are you from?

610. - Originally. - Mississippi Valley.

611. Alabama, Birmingham.

612. Well, here's to being from somewhere.

613. - Cheers. - Cheers.

614. All right, last night's victims...

615. so we got six now.

616. One, Julie Brock, never left home.

617. Three from the north county, bodies dumped here.

618. Two from here, bodies dumped in north county.

619. And who said busing doesn't work?

620. All knifed, all gagged, all bound,

621. all very organized killings.

622. Not a lot of wasted motion.

623. - So, I got a question. Why? - Why what?

624. First, geography.

625. Yep. Guy's a shark. If he stops, he dies.

626. He likes to drive. Probably has a decent car.

627. Maybe two. High mileage.

628. Can't find one in the neighborhood, a victim,

629. then, uh, he goes wherever opportunity knocks.

630. All right, next "why." Why the extreme torture, then the love bites?

631. Turns him on.

632. No rape, no sodomy,

633. - no genital mutilation. Hm. - He kills for sexual pleasure.

634. Was Stan Peters our boy?

635. God, I hope not.

636. All right, back to the living. Our boy.

637. He's got balls. I'll give him that.

638. He goes back to Julie's house,

639. a few days after he kills her, moves her body, shaves her legs,

640. poses her, he brings beer,

641. milk, food. Just threw himself a little party.

642. And they found partially digested meat in her stomach.

643. But she was a vegan. Strict vegetarian.

644. She'd never touch it. Same as Ana. No way.

645. Not even with a knife to her throat?

646. Nobody wants to eat alone.

647. Mm.

648. One last "why."

649. Why are you trying to solve a five-year-old case

650. that everyone else has forgotten about?

651. Farris and I were...

652. a couple of miles away. We heard a call over the radio.

653. Screams reported. Sal was first one on the scene.

654. No lights.

655. Switching problem. Guy from Edison said it happens once every decade or so.

656. Now, you see the woman behind me

657. - over my left shoulder? - Yeah.

658. Gladys Fulcher. Spinster.

659. Sort of eyes and ears of the neighborhood.

660. A pain in the ass to the cops but a godsend to a detective.

661. And what did good old Gladys have to say?

662. Said she was out. She lied about it at first out of sheer embarrassment,

663. but she came clean.

664. What was she embarrassed about?

665. She went on her first date in 15 years, slept at the old guy's house.

666. So, the night of the hat trick, we had no lights,

667. Gladys getting boned...

668. two-million-to-one long shot crossing the finish line

669. in a dead heat.

670. Third strike.

671. Drought.

672. No water, no mud, no prints.

673. Ground was hard like cement.

674. Victims were placed on that rock right there.

675. They were drugged elsewhere, but they were brought here, stabbed to death.

676. Posed facing each other,

677. bags over their heads, laid down, like the rock was a table, like a...

678. tea party.

679. Where the guests fell asleep.

680. Warm. This just went down.

681. And where was your third victim?

682. Close by.

683. You work the evidence, you still come up with zeros.

684. It's all you can do. Happens to everybody.

685. Then you draw the black bean.

686. Maybe the victim looks like a kid you picked on in school

687. or the green eyes remind you of your old lady.

688. Or maybe it's something else, but whatever it is,

689. they're your lifelong responsibility, Jimmy.

690. You own them.

691. You own them.

692. They're wherever they are, and you are their angel,

693. trying like hell to turn the ledger from red to black.

694. Word to the wise, Jimmy, stay out of the angel business.

695. Hey.

696. What is it you're looking for in all of this?

697. To finish the job.

698. Just like you.

699. It's not the same boy.

700. Guys that kill pros are a different breed

701. than the ones that go after solid citizens.

702. Yeah, nobody's that good out of the block.

703. This boy practiced his trade somewhere before.

704. Well, it can't be the same guy.

705. He's a shark, remember? He stops, he dies.

706. Who said he stopped? Maybe he just took his show on the road.

707. I'm over here on the right.

708. Two of the five appliance store employees have records.

709. One's 55, the other one's in his late thirties, lives in Hollywood.

710. Both simple assaults.

711. It looks like a wash to me,

712. but you got all the info there.

713. And for the record, your hunch? I don't think it holds water.

714. Then why all the interest?

715. You wanna clear your conscience, that's your problem.

716. But you gotta solve my case to solve yours, who am I to moan?

717. But you piss on my leg and call it rain, we're through.

718. Hey, uh, what was Julie's last supper?

719. It was roast beef. Why?

720. It's the little things that are important, Jimmy.

721. It's the little things that get you caught.

722. Can I help you?

723. I saw the "for sale" sign.

724. That was for another car.

725. Got a lot of miles on it. You a... you a salesman?

726. No.

727. How's the trunk space?

728. It's standard.

729. Mind if I take a look?

730. I'm in the market.

731. It's not for sale.

732. All I need to do is take a look.

733. You must really like my car.

734. - I do.

735. Hey, Sal, listen.

736. Run a DMV check on an Albert Leonard Sparma.

737. Yeah, see if he's sold any cars in the last few months.

738. Inconclusive.

739. But there are some similarities to both Brock and Ewing.

740. Partial of an incisor on Ewing's cheek.

741. What about Brock?

742. Partial of a bicuspid.

743. - Something else. - What's that?

744. He's from back east.

745. Folds his slice.

746. We'll canvass over here. All right.

747. You have a good night.

748. We got roast beef, we got strippers...

749. Baby, you got anything for us tonight?

750. We got hookers.

751. Damn, homie.

752. You don't know how lucky y'all are.

753. Okay.

754. How's the trunk space?

755. - Baxter. - The second girl, the ditch pitch,

756. where did you find her?

757. Couple hundred yards after 126.

758. - And you didn't leak it to the press? - No.

759. You sure about that?

760. It went out over dispatch, but it was never given to the press. Why?

761. What's the nearest mile marker?

762. Hang on.

763. 467.

764. 4-6-7.

765. There's this guy Deke asked me to run a vehicle check on. Sparma?

766. Seems that Topanga Tow has a car registered to him.

767. Found it abandoned two weeks ago.

768. Reported stolen?

769. No.

770. Well, tow that sucker in.

771. - Wine. Damn it.

772. Sal, what do you got?

773. Clean. 22,000 miles.

774. - A rollback? - Definitely.

775. All right, keep at it. Let me know if you find anything.

776. Here we go.

777. I'll take the prints. Call the lab, tell 'em I'm on my way.

778. Grab Deke and a patrol dep, pick up Sparma.

779. What about Tina Salvatore, the potential witness?

780. Get her a magazine.

781. What are the chances he'll let us in?

782. Yeah. Just keep him busy, keep him talking.

783. Tell him to take his time, change his clothes, whatever.

784. Match is inconclusive.

785. - Conclude it. - Eleven identifiers.

786. County requires 18 for an ID, LAPD requires 12.

787. So, we're one short of somebody's legal requirements?

788. - That says something. - It says you're seven short.

789. Look me in the eye and tell me this isn't my boy.

790. This other fella...

791. let's call him Mr. X...

792. he's got eight identifiers. Only three less than Sparma.

793. Maybe he's the killer.

794. Who?

795. Thank you.

796. Are we ready to go?

797. It's like I told the police...

798. it was dark, he was wearing glasses, a hat...

799. If I showed you some photos, do you think you'd be able to identify him?

800. Maybe.

801. Probably not.

802. Nothing. It was like he was expecting us.

803. Get her something to drink. Keep an eye on her.

804. I have to use the restroom.

805. Yep. Come on.

806. It's, uh, right over here, to your right. I'll wait for you.

807. Hey, you got a second, Jamie?

808. It's okay. I can find my way back to your desk.

809. All right, do you want anything to drink?

810. Uh... Diet anything.

811. Just come straight back, okay?

812. - What's up? - Thanks.

813. The Harvester was clean as a whistle.

814. Damn it.

815. Got this off your desk.

816. You don't mind if I move the table, do you?

817. Do your thing.

818. Grab the other end.

819. All clear.

820. Bring him in.

821. Okay, Jerry.

822. Well, what did you have to do to get a job like this?

823. Kind of a demotion, huh?

824. No, we're not gonna need those.

825. Where's big Dick Tracy?

826. Is he joining us for dinner?

827. Ow. Man...

828. Hello, Albert.

829. I'm Detective Sergeant Baxter.

830. I know who you are.

831. You're famous.

832. On television and in the papers all the time.

833. Thank you so much.

834. I'm kind of a crime buff.

835. Hm.

836. Well, then you know if you're innocent,

837. you should talk to me, clear your name.

838. Is that it?

839. Not gonna work me over, Mr. Clean?

840. Okay.

841. I invoke my Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

842. Just kidding.

843. You should see the look on your faces.

844. Come on, it's hilarious.

845. But I would like my rights waiver card.

846. I know I'm not officially in custody, but...

847. better be safe than sorry, huh, guys?

848. Hot damn.

849. This is awesome.

850. Can I keep this?

851. No, I'm afraid not.

852. No fun.

853. Hey, you wanna know something? Ernesto Miranda...

854. was actually guilty.

855. Why did you abandon your car, Albert?

856. The Harvester. Had a big back end, was good for hauling things around.

857. Look, Jimmy.

858. - Detective Baxter. - Whatever.

859. Like I said, the car was stolen. Thank you for finding it.

860. I'll drive it home.

861. We'll be hanging on to it for a few days.

862. Well, that's not very nice of you.

863. Why didn't you report the theft?

864. Well, you see, that's the funny thing.

865. I did.

866. Somebody's got some homework to do.

867. Mm. Cute little thing, wasn't she?

868. - Who said she's dead? - I know the drill, Jimmy.

869. But the truth is...

870. I'm not the guy.

871. Besides, if you had anything...

872. anything at all...

873. I'd be under arrest...

874. wouldn't I?

875. Do you want to be?

876. I wouldn't mind getting a peek at all that evidence you say you got.

877. Is that for me?

878. You get the feeling he's enjoying this?

879. Oh, yeah.

880. Pineapples and jalapenos, please.

881. Can I come in?

882. Eleven more, you can make a calendar.

883. Uh-oh.

884. Oh, hey, stranger.

885. Tired of steaming up that glass?

886. Pressies?

887. Oh, yeah.

888. This is the part where I start feeling like it's a trap.

889. Open it up, find out.

890. It's not a pair of mittens.

891. Wow.

892. Go on, take a look.

893. You know you want to.

894. Open it, you fucking weirdo.

895. Holy guacamole.

896. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,

897. catch a dead girl by her toe.

898. Oh...

899. The contrast is all off.

900. It's no Weegee.

901. My God.

902. Let me ask you a question.

903. Why is that?

904. Huh?

905. Why is that?

906. Hm? Come on, you're a smart man.

907. You know every exit on the highway.

908. Let me help you.

909. I mean it.

910. Why?

911. Why not?

912. Son of a bitch. Your dick is as hard as Chinese arithmetic.

913. - Shit. - Son of a...

914. Deke! Hey, Deke! That's why.

915. - That's why. Back off!

916. - Why is that? Why is that? Deke! Hey! Whoa!

917. - That's what I wanna know. Back off.

918. Hey. Hey.

919. It's all right. It's all right, Sal.

920. We know, you know...

921. we got you by the balls, small as they are.

922. You son of a bitch.

923. You lost control.

924. - Rizoli.

925. - Huh. Jimmy, it's your wife. - Take a message.

926. What do you think?

927. Maybe if I could get a better look at him.

928. What do you mean, a better look?

929. Well, at this guy.

930. I mean, you have him here in the station, right?

931. Thank you, Tina.

932. Look, I'm sorry. What about a lineup?

933. We've got no cause.

934. I mean, the ID is tainted beyond repair.

935. She saw him in cuffs, for God's sake.

936. I told you. I warned you.

937. I take the heat.

938. - I'm the primary. - For now.

939. What the hell does that mean?

940. It means I got six bodies, no witnesses, no evidence, no killer.

941. Two guys questioned, and why are they suspects?

942. One, who later sucks on a 12-gauge,

943. for malicious unzipping.

944. The other, for carrying a concealed hard-on.

945. - What do you want the DA to do? - He was visualizing the crime.

946. His crime.

947. Well, sheriff's calling in the feds.

948. They got a guy coming in on Monday.

949. That point, we back off, we revamp.

950. - Revamp? - They take charge.

951. Hey, uh, one more thing.

952. Were you aware Sparma confessed to a murder eight years ago?

953. Guy walks in...

954. and we spent ten hours going over the thing.

955. He signs a confession. Next morning, we had to cut him loose.

956. - Why? He was lying.

957. I mean, he knew all the details,

958. but he wasn't within ten miles of the killing.

959. Still got two days, right, Cap?

960. Hey, what is it with you and Deke?

961. You wanna be the one that finds him after his next heart attack?

962. It's his destiny, don't make it yours.

963. Deacon.

964. Boo.

965. What is... what is all this?

966. The past becomes the future, becomes the past...

967. becomes the future, becomes the past, becomes the—

968. - Hey. Look at me. - Becomes the future.

969. This is sick.

970. - You need to get some help. - Don't point fingers.

971. I know all the symptoms.

972. Congratulations. We got a suspect.

973. Oh, we do, do we?

974. Yeah.

975. Are you aware that Sparma confessed to a murder eight years ago?

976. So what?

977. He walked in, jerked Rogers' chain for an entire shift.

978. He's a crime buff, he said so himself.

979. Walk-in confessors aren't killers.

980. We don't have shit!

981. You got the same ache in your gut as I do, don't you?

982. We got something, we just don't know what it is.

983. If I can get in Sparma's apartment for just five minutes, I know...

984. We don't have enough for a warrant.

985. like I'm standing in front of you.

986. I know.

987. Know what?

988. I know that the answer is inside Sparma's place. I know.

989. Let me ask you something, Jimmy.

990. What do you want?

991. I wanna nail the bastard.

992. For who?

993. For all of the girls he killed.

994. And for Ronda Rathbun, wherever she is.

995. Well, I wanna nail the bastard, too.

996. Difference is...

997. I'm doing it for me.

998. Just five minutes, Jimmy.

999. Please.

1000. I'm sorry about what happened today,

1001. and I'd like to make it up to you in person.

1002. Meet me at Pike's, near your place, on the bully.

1003. That the place with potato skins?

1004. We'll see.

1005. He comes back, I'll hit the horn twice.

1006. 7-0, respond.

1007. Code seven, Fifth and Main.

1008. Hey, you got a phone?

1009. Yeah.

1010. It's local.

1011. And a Shirley Temple to go.

1012. Officer down.

1013. Repeat, officer down.

1014. 10929 San Marina Street.

1015. Repeat, officer down.

1016. LAPD, open up!

1017. Going right.

1018. Hey!

1019. LA Sheriff. What's going on?

1020. There's an officer down. Two guys inside now.

1021. Hey, hey, hey. All respect, Detective,

1022. your jurisdiction doesn't start for another 20 blocks. Move.

1023. Sheriff's. - Baxter. 362071.

1024. How can I help you?

1025. Detective Baxter.

1026. Detective—

1027. Bathroom's clear. - Clear.

1028. Sparma called in an "officer down."

1029. Wily son of a bitch.

1030. Wily enough to keep his apartment clean?

1031. He's got a box full of knickknacks and souvenirs.

1032. By any chance, did you see a red barrette?

1033. - Red barrette? - Yeah.

1034. Ronda Rathbun was wearing one when she disappeared.

1035. You give me five more minutes, I can find out for you.

1036. All right, bad news first.

1037. Sparma did file a stolen on the wagon. Rogers neglected to file.

1038. The good...

1039. Sparma left town less than six weeks after your murders.

1040. Where'd he go?

1041. Detroit.

1042. Any unsolved bodies up there?

1043. Detroit?

1044. Right.

1045. He knows we're here. He knows we're watching him.

1046. Good.

1047. I want him to know.

1048. Do you ever wonder...

1049. that maybe, just maybe, it's a waste of time?

1050. All this sitting, waiting...

1051. watching, spending your life in another man's shadow.

1052. One, wherever he goes, I mark it for search warrants.

1053. Two, he tries it again, I catch him in the act.

1054. Three, when I'm with him...

1055. nobody dies.

1056. Nobody dies on my watch.

1057. How long is your watch?

1058. As long as it fucking takes.

1059. What's he doing?

1060. How can you listen to these sappy love songs all day long?

1061. Reminds me of being 16 in the backseat of my car...

1062. with Marsha McConnell.

1063. Guy's got a car, why's he taking the bus?

1064. This is fucking comical.

1065. We're running out of sand, this guy's taking public transportation.

1066. You run this place?

1067. Yeah. No connection.

1068. Whoa. Whoa. - Ah, fuck!

1069. Hey, you all right?

1070. I'm all right.

1071. Okay.

1072. Mm-hmm.

1073. We work the case. That's all we can do, is work the case.

1074. It's like fishing.

1075. You can go days without a strike, then all of a sudden, bang, you get one.

1076. I'm fucking dying here, Deke.

1077. Okay. Why don't you go home,

1078. I'll put him to bed.

1079. - Fuck you. - There you go.

1080. That's what I expected.

1081. You think they got watch batteries down there?

1082. Mm.

1083. All right, I'm gonna go down there. So, you want anything?

1084. Black coffee.

1085. All right.

1086. - Hello? - Boo.

1087. Get your hands in the air!

1088. - Now! - Okay, okay.

1089. Do it now! Up against the gate.

1090. Move!

1091. - Move! Okay.

1092. Is this right? This...

1093. - Forward! - Okay. Fine.

1094. Hands on your head!

1095. Interlace your fingers.

1096. Excuse me?

1097. Interlace your fingers.

1098. Oh. Um...

1099. That sounds complicated. Mm.

1100. Point your fingers to the sky.

1101. Now!

1102. - Spread your legs. - Thought you'd never ask.

1103. - Where is she? - Oh.

1104. The original. How did you wrangle that, Mr. Fancy Pants?

1105. Where is she?

1106. You don't wanna know.

1107. Not really.

1108. Okay, okay.

1109. Okay.

1110. You win.

1111. I'll take you to her.

1112. Would you like that?

1113. Jeez.

1114. Are you coming?

1115. You got some serious anger issues, Jimmy. You know that?

1116. You almost cracked my rib.

1117. 40, 50...

1118. 60, 70...

1119. Come on.

1120. I won't bite.

1121. Get in. We've got a drive ahead of us.

1122. And I've gotta work tomorrow.

1123. You already felt me up. You're armed, I'm not.

1124. What are you so scared of, little boy?

1125. Oh, PS, your buttbuddy's not invited.

1126. Buckle up.

1127. Safety first.

1128. You know, you're not very good company.

1129. Where exactly is it we're going?

1130. Ronda Rathbun?

1131. You know, you and I are a lot alike.

1132. In another lifetime...

1133. uh, we could be friends.

1134. Isn't that crazy?

1135. Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy.

1136. You mind?

1137. I knew a guy who had a hunting lease here.

1138. And we got the moon tonight.

1139. Cut the bullshit. Where is she?

1140. All business.

1141. You start walking that way.

1142. Hm.

1143. I'm a man of my word, Jimmy.

1144. Chilly.

1145. Colder.

1146. No, no. Cold.

1147. God, you're really terrible at this, you know that?

1148. Let me give you a hint.

1149. That way.

1150. Okay.

1151. Uh-uh. Warm.

1152. Warmer.

1153. Hot. Hotter.

1154. Hottest.

1155. Bingo.

1156. Now look down at the ground and say...

1157. "Hello, Ronda."

1158. You're gonna need this.

1159. You dig.

1160. The devil's in the details, Jimmy.

1161. Witnesses, physical evidence.

1162. You'd have to get rid of my body, get rid of my car.

1163. It's a lot to consider.

1164. Besides...

1165. it's a peace offering.

1166. Okay.

1167. Oh, you're gonna kill me.

1168. Uh...

1169. Oh, poop.

1170. I think I made a boo-boo.

1171. Yeah. Come to think of it, this doesn't look that familiar.

1172. But this one over here...

1173. this looks very promising.

1174. Yeah, that's it.

1175. What did you say?

1176. Um...

1177. "Poop."

1178. Then, "This one is more promising."

1179. It's not like I have a fucking treasure map.

1180. I keep digging, you keep talking.

1181. X marks the spot.

1182. Third time's the charm.

1183. It's like the cereal aisle.

1184. You want the truth?

1185. I've never killed anybody in my entire life.

1186. If you believe me, we can get in the car and we can drive straight home.

1187. Maybe even stop for tacos.

1188. If not...

1189. - That's it.

1190. Not too much longer now.

1191. What are you, five, six deep, and no end in sight?

1192. Oh...

1193. I forgot to tell you.

1194. I've seen a picture of your family.

1195. You should've stayed out of the public eye, Jimmy.

1196. You and your ego.

1197. I mean, what kind of a father are you?

1198. How can you protect those two beautiful daughters

1199. when you can't even begin to help one...

1200. of those poor girls or their families?

1201. You're insignificant.

1202. You don't matter.

1203. And this will go on and on and on.

1204. And there's nothing you can do about it.

1205. Hey. Hey. Hey, get up.

1206. Get up, man.

1207. Get up!

1208. Get up!

1209. Deke, what is it? Quiet.

1210. Oh.

1211. Oh, shit.

1212. The past becomes the future, becomes the past...

1213. becomes the future...

1214. becomes the past, becomes the future...

1215. becomes the future.

1216. It was him.

1217. We got him. He was our boy.

1218. He was our boy. He as much as told me.

1219. Nothing you can do about it now.

1220. We gotta call somebody.

1221. What am I gonna say?

1222. What am I gonna do?

1223. Nothing. You're not gonna say anything, you're not gonna do anything.

1224. You're gonna find a hole, stick him in it.

1225. Pick one at least four feet deep. I'll be back in a few hours.

1226. What'd she say, man?

1227. What's up with homeboy there?

1228. Hey.

1229. He was our boy, Deke. I'm sure he was our boy.

1230. Nobody's gonna give a damn. I've taken care of it.

1231. So, listen...

1232. you go back,

1233. you tell Farris that Sparma was a wash,

1234. and that you need a break.

1235. A couple of weeks. You tell him I left town Saturday,

1236. and you went home.

1237. Are you listening to me?

1238. He's dead.

1239. He's forgotten. He's rotting in the ground

1240. and the only way he's gonna come back is if you let him come back.

1241. Don't you ever go back to his place,

1242. don't you ever let his name cross your lips,

1243. don't you ever pull his file, 'cause if you do...

1244. he'll rise up out of that ground. He'll do you in.

1245. It's the little things, Jimmy.

1246. It's the little things that rip you apart,

1247. it's the little things that...

1248. get you caught.

1249. That's my boy.

1250. He was...

1251. Joe...

1252. Sí.

1253. And that brings to an end the world as we know it.

1254. Thanks for listening for all these many years.

1255. It's twelve o'clock.

1256. Straight-up noon, LA. This is Bobby Saunders,

1257. and I'm saying welcome to the new KHVY,

1258. the king of talk radio, where what you have to say—

1259. A white male, between the ages of 25 and 40.

1260. He's of above-average intelligence and socially competent.

1261. Works as a skilled laborer.

1262. Probably firstborn or an only child.

1263. And he follows the crimes in the media.

1264. He has at least one car in good condition, possibly two,

1265. and he has a propensity for changing jobs.

1266. Picking up, leaving at a moment's notice.

1267. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the guy we're looking for.

1268. What about the leads we're following?

1269. I think it's safe to say we're at square one on this operation.

1270. But I can promise you this.

1271. We'll get the bastard.

1272. - Ana. - Hey, Sal.

1273. Come in.

1274. Thanks. I gotta get going.

1275. You okay?

1276. Yeah. Well...

1277. We miss him already. Uh...

1278. Joe Deacon gave me this.

1279. Said it was for Jimmy.

1280. Thanks.

1281. Take care.

1282. You too.

1283. Thanks, Sal.

1284. You know I love you, Dad.

1285. You're always around when I don't need you.

1286. Sal brought this by.

1287. He said it was from Joe Deacon.

1288. Cause of death, multiple stab wounds.

1289. That's what I'm putting down.
