Phil.try Hank.

Hank. Oh, I'm sorry.

I got a little bit
of the dog that bit me.

I'm not feeling myself today.

I'll know this song
by airtime.

I've been doing this
all my life.

Can I go home, please?
Let me go home.

Let's wrap it up,
Henry.

Richard's on his way.

Hank: Everybody take five.
Remember your positions.

We're expecting you, too,
Nathan.

[ Reporters shouting questions ]

Can you look
this way, please?

Well, boys and girls,
what do we have

that's hopeless
so far this afternoon?

Everything is fine.
It's just 100%.

Did you manage to re-cut
the beginning of the show?

Yes, and it looks great.

We're still doing
the history of the magazine

and all the social stuff,
but now the centerfolds

are filtered through there
a little more sparingly.

That sounds wonderful.

Cleo, I want you
to call the police,

get some backup
for armed security.

Well, what for?

Because we've had
a lot of promo on this show,

and we're on live
and we're gonna have

every nut in town
in our laps.

Call the police.

[ Men laughing ]

But they bigger
than a female.

Incredible.
Look at that.

They gotta use
a hot airbrush on that.

Airbrush--who cares?
I mean, who really cares?

'Cause, uh, the human body's
a thing of beauty.

Right, Hernandez?

Am I right?

What if I don't sign it, huh?
What about that?

What if I just tell them
it's a matter of manpower here?

Hey, Tony,
why do they want homicide

for this paradisething?

I thought Metro
handled security.

What's the matter with you guys?
You don't even care?

Look at this--
stoner's leaving,

breaking up the team.

What?

I got a transfer.

Yeah? Well, I'm not
gonna sign it.

Aw, Dan.

You know what it is,
don't you?

You're depressed.
You just turned 40.

You feel you lost--i don't wanna hear that.

You know what
they call it, Dan?

Midlife crisis--
that's what they call it.

It's called getting tired
of 2 A.M. phone calls

and trips to the morgue.[ Phone rings ]

Homicide. Brencato.

Hernandez, how do you say

"don't fix it again, Tony"
in Spanish?

Maybe he'll understand that.

Yeah, they got a copy of it.

They're looking at it here,
drooling over it.

Hey, Dan,
take a look at this.

Cassie bascomb,
angel of the year.

Sort of makes
your hands sweat, doesn't she?

I don't need that.

You aredepressed.

Yeah, ray, I'll see.

Not too much
they want, homicide.

They want
a plainclothes detective

that can blend in
with the surroundings.

Hey, Tony, you're looking
at your man.

You know what they used to
call me in high school?

The chameleon.

Yeah, well, there's just
one other little requirement.

Female.what?

I'll fill you in
a little later, Rose.

That's discrimination, Tony,
and you know it.

Hey, Dan, will you just
come back inside

and hear me out?
That's all I'm asking.

We've been
through this before.

So indulge an old friend?

Fifteen years.

[ Sighs ]

I don't know.

[ Television playing ]

Woman:
Wait, wait, wait.

Tony says, uh,
bankers hours

no more 2am phone calls...

You tell that to Nancy.Yeah.

Well, that's exactly
what he said last time.

I got to thinkin',
well I don't know.

Whether operation is
gonna be enough for me.

That's exactly what you
said last time.

How am I doing?You're fine. Watch the step.

I know where the steps are,
just look up above me.

Okay, you're fine.
You're fine.

[ Dance music playing ]

Hey, what happened
to the game?

What is this, cable?

It's called tasteless
adult programming.

Come on, Todd.

That's that, uh,
paradise party.

Hernandez is working that.

Howard Rose?
How Rose.

Come on, Todd.

I'm watching the game,

I just switched it
during the commercial.

Let's go, young man.

Don't strain your eyes, stoner.

Yeah, I get it in
the morning, hon.

Ready, two...

And take it.

[ Dance music playing ]

This party tonight
is celebrating

paradise magazine'sentry
into your living room,

so, uh...[ Laughs ]
Cover up.

I'm peeking.
[ Laughs ]

Mr. Trainor sent
a limousine for me this evening.

Thank goodness it missed.

There's so many
celebrities tonight.

There's Debbie, Lana,
frank, Barbara.

They're all here.
It's packed.

Full of optimists
and money and fun

because of Mr. Richard trainor.

He's so generous,

he gave me
a group insurance policy.

I get a thousand bucks
if I'm killed in a group.

Could you die?

But I am
kind of lucky, though.

I made a killing
in the market today.

I shot my butcher.

Oh, forget the frivolity.
Look who's here--

miss congeniality!
Miss January! Pamela cummings!

Ah, precious.
Come in, darling.

Look at this face,
ladies and gentlemen.

Not a blemish.

There is a god.

Pam, I'm a great fan
of yours.

I have a joke,

like the dress
you almost have on.

That wasn't it.

Let me ask you
a question, Pamela.

What do you call a boomerang
that won't come back?

Hello, anybody in?

What do you call a boomerang
that won't come back?

Oh, a-a stick.

A stick! 100%.
She's brilliant.

Look at the face.

Didn't I see you and redford
on rodeo last week?

Pamela, can you hear me?
Read my lips.

Didn't I see you and redford
on rodeo last week?

Hello! Hello!

Get her off of there.

She's blowing the whole thing.
Get her off.

If looks could kill,
you'd be a real angel by now.

But in your case,
a little devil, huh, Pam?

Huh? You get it?

Hello! Hello!

[ Laughs ]

We're really not like that.

I mean, people have
this crazy idea, you know,

just because we pose
in the nude,

we're, well, you know.

Well, it's been nice trying
to talk to you, Pamela.

Thank you very much.

I just don't want
everybody to think

that we're all
a bunch of hookers.

Hookers.
She said "hookers" on TV.

I'll be okay.
Guess who else is here.

They're all here tonight.
You've missed nothing.

Miss February--
Kara Alexander.

Come in, precious angel.
Look at this.

[ Laughs ]

Oh, Gail keating,
miss march, is here.

Come in, precious.
Look at these.

Kiss, kiss, kiss.

And speaking of miss march...

♪ March, march, march, march,
march, march, march ♪

I have to go now.
[ Laughs ]

Come and join the fun.

♪ March, march, march, march,
march, march, march ♪

Aah!

[ Crash ]

What the hell was that?

Find out, Charlie.
Take a look.

Oh, my god.

[ Phone rings ]

[ Ring ]

Yeah, stoner.

No, Tony.

No!

[ Sighs ]

Well, if it's suicide,
what do you need me for?

Oh, yeah?

Well, did you talk
to the room clerk?

She's drunk,
she's unhappy,

she just made a fool
of herself on TV.

Tony, why rent a room?
Why not jump off the roof?

Anybody talk to the parents?They're flying out tomorrow.

Listen, Dan. Dan.
The desk clerk's story

sounds a little fishy
to me.

Look, maybe you ought
to talk to him.

You're trying to reel me
into this thing.

I'm just trying
to do a job here.

All right, guys,
here's the scoop.

The girl didn't jump.
She came straight down.

From the edge
of the balcony up there

out to the line of impact
is 88 inches.

Most of your jumpers
really take a leap.

Not this one.Could she have fallen?

Maybe she was sitting
on the rail

and she went over backwards.

From the way she landed,
she went over head first

and then rotated
onto her back.

I'll see you kids
at the office.

Yeah. Thanks.

What do you think?

What do I think?

I think all this whining
about my instincts

and this being a tough case
is somewhat smoke.

The girl
was murdered, Tony.So?

[ Sighs ]

Yes, sir.
May I help you?

Yes. Detective stoner.

I understand
you were on duty

when Pam cummings
made her reservation.

I was,
but it was by phone,

so I really don't
remember her.

[ Laughs ]

Well, she must
have registered.

Look, this place
has been a madhouse.

Why don't you ask
lieutenant b-b--what's his name?

Yeah, brencato.I told him
everything about this.

I know you did that,

but I want you
to tell me now.

Excuse me.
Detective stoner?Yes.

I'm Heather English.
I was a friend of Pam's.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Um, what can I do for you?

I just want to talk
to you for a minute.

Thanks.

Mm-hmm.

I mean, I know what
they're saying about Pam,

but I just don't believe it.

I mean, she never would
have killed herself.

How long have you known her?

Long enough to know that she
was basically a happy person.

Yeah, well, she wasn't
too happy tonight.

Have you talked
to lieutenant brencato?

Yes, but he said that
you were handling the case.

[ Laughs ]

Yes, go on.

There's something else
I think you should know.

I mean,
it might not be anything,

but a couple of months ago
I remember hearing

that Mr. Trainor was upset
'cause some weirdo

was following
one of the girls around.

Apparently this guy
was even threatening her.

Threatening who, exactly?

Cassie bascomb.

Ah.do you know her?

No, I've just seen pictures.

Well, anyway, tonight
when brencato asked US

if there had been
anything like that,

you know,
creeps or hate mail,

trainor didn't mention it.

And when he didn't,
nobody else did either.

You're suggesting
he's trying to hide something?

I don't know.

But I thought that since
you were handling the case,

you ought to know.

Yes, since i'm
handling the case.

Thank you.

What do you mean maybe?

Either you've taken
the case or you haven't.

[ Sighs ]

I don't even know
if there is a case.

That's why I want
to talk to trainer.

Oh, right.
I get it.

This is all just for Tony.

It wouldn't have anything
to do with all beautiful women.

Nance, come on.

I'm a big boy now.

Yeah, well that's
what I'm worried about.

[ Music playing ]

[ Laughing ]

Mr. Trainor?
Detective sergeant Dan stoner.

Uh, yes.
Uh, sergeant.

This is Cleo banks,
our managing director.

How can we, uh, help you?

That's all for now, ladies.

Who's that?

I think he's a cop.

Must be about Pam.

Do they always leave notes?

No, no, of course not.

But in this case,
her parents, her friends,

everyone says it just wasn't
in the cards.

Oh, uh, sergeant,

let me introduce
Kara Alexander,

Gail keating,
Heather English.

Alan Conti.

Sergeant stoner is
investigating Pam's suicide.

And the possibility
it was not a suicide.

You mean she might
have been murdered? Why?

That's what we're
trying to find out.

I understand some guy
threatened one of your girls--

a Cassie bascomb.

Well, yes, but that was
a very long time ago.

Excuse me,
but if you and the girls

are going to make
that luncheon,

you'd better get going.

Oh, yes, that's true.

Girls, I'll be with you
in a few minutes.

Nice to meet you.It was nice to meet you.

Good session.

I'm sorry.
That was not very subtle,

but the last thing
that I need

is for you
to frighten these girls.

I'm gonna have to talk to them
sooner or later.

You already did.
At least, your lieutenant did.

All right, let's start
with one of your girls--

this Cassie bascomb.
Do you have her address?

Cassie bascomb doesn't have
anything to do with this at all.

She's not even part of
the organization any longer.

I still would like
to talk to her.Why?

I want to cover all the bases.
Do you have her address?

You can get it
from my secretary, yes.

"Kara exudes
a carefree spirit,

"a playfulness,
and yet just below the surface,

there's that
smoldering sexuality."

[ Laughing ]

Who writes this stuff anyway?

I don't know.
Some guy.

[ Laughing ]

Oh, this is great.

"Raised in the sun-washed
beaches of Malibu,

she is proud
of her firm, strong body."

Hey, don't you have anything
to eat in here?

"'I was basically raised
in a bikini,'

"says the forthright
miss February,

'so nudity has never had
any negative connotations.'"

hey, Kara, bring me
another beer, will you?

"Always full of life
and vitality..."

[ Gasps ]

There's a dime store
kitchen knife--

no prints, obviously.

The killer was right-handed

according to
the medical examiner.

Uh, the depth
of the wounds?

Soft tissue--
could be man or woman.

What about
the boyfriend?

Well, he's all in pieces.

He was
in the living room

when it happened.

He heard a car leave
from the road

up above the house here.

Tony: And no footprints.

No, it's all concrete
and tile out there.

Yeah. Well, if you ask me,

it sounds more like
an attack on paradise magazine

than on these girls.

Well, if it is,
it backfired.

That Pam cummings issue
sold out.

Sex and death, you know.
Big sellers.

The arrogance of this guy--
January, February.

So who's miss march?

Gail keating. She's staying
at trainor's villa.

Mooney's going to coordinate
security over there,

and Rose is gonna stay with
Heather English--miss April.

So, what does Cassie bascomb
have to say?

I haven't
talked to her yet.

She just got back into town.

That's where
they found the knife.

I don't understand
why trainor didn't tell you

some creep was following her
in the first place.

That makes two of US, moon.

Hello. Detective stoner
for miss bascomb.

[ Phone buzzes ]

Yes?

Okay.

Detective stoner?
I'm Cassie bascomb.

I've been expecting you.
My desk is back here.

Thanks.

Well, here we are.

Would you like
some coffee or something?

No, thanks, nothing.

You knew I was coming.

Yes. Richard told me.

So, uh, this certainly is
a far cry from the magazine.

How long you been here?

A couple of months,
thanks to Richard.

They handle
his portfolio here.

They're still not at all sure

I'll fit
the stockbroker's image.

Well, then, uh,

I guess you know
that I want to ask you

about that incident
with what's-his-name.

Albert stark?

But it wasn't exactly
an incident, Mr. Stoner.

It was more like an ordeal.

When did this happen?

About four months ago.

Did you call the police?Oh, yes.

But all they could do
was warn him.

Do you have any idea
why trainor

would be reluctant
to talk about this?

Maybe he was just trying
to protect me.From what?

I was pretty overwhelmed
by the whole thing.

Anyway,
I left town for a while

and I didn't fulfill
my obligation to paradise.

What obligation is that?

I was angel of the year,
if you'll pardon the expression.

I had some promotional work
and things to do.

But I was pretty much
of a basket case.

Well, you seem to have
your feet on the ground now.

It's the suit
and the glasses, Mr. Stoner,

I assure you.

Listen, this is my card.

You call me if you think
of something, okay?

Okay.

By the way,
who handled your complaint?

Who'd you talk to downtown?

Um, sergeant romney.

But you could speak
to Alan Conti at paradise.

Why?

I thought you knew.

Stark worked for Conti
in the photo lab.

That's where we met.

Conti: Stark took these
about eight months ago.

Stoner: Was she
ever involved with stark?

No, she was just
sort of complimented

that some guy from pictorial
wanted to shoot her.

I'm sure he came on like
some hotshot photographer.

Here she was, just a few months
on the job as a secretary.

So now he took
some pictures of her,

and you showed 'em
to trainor.

That's right.

And the rest is history.

We run a big campaign
about how she was discovered

right in our
own typing pool.

She's goes
straight to the top.

Of course, the guy
who really discovered her

is left out in the cold
when--

well, when Richard starts
taking an interest in it.

Was that when stark
began following her?

No, he just started
bugging her at first,

which is why Richard
finally fired him.

That's what flipped him out.

He broke in here and stole
the pictures he'd taken,

which were technically ours.

Tried to sell 'em
to some gossip sheet,

along with a story
about how Richard

had stolen his girl.

There he is.

So why wasn't he arrested
for stealing the film?

To keep it all from being
dragged out in court, I guess.

What about her?

That's a good question.

What do you mean?

It looked as though
they would be an item.

You'd expect Richard to be
all over a girl like this.

Then poof--next thing we know,
Cassie's left town.

There's this dark cloud
hanging over the villa.

Well, what happened--
the thing with stark?

I don't know.

About the only thing
I can tell you for sure

about Cassie bascomb is...
Don't fall in love with her.

I...lied to you.

Hmm.

Can you sit down?

It wasn't that
I lied exactly.

It's just that I didn't
tell you the whole story.

Go on.

You see, I knew Albert stark,

and I...I let him
take some pictures of me.

I know. I talked
to Alan Conti about it.

I wasn't using stark.

In fact, everyone said
he was using me.

He claimed to be my manager.
He wanted more money.

And he fell in love with you.

Not really.

He fell in love with what--
the makeup, the measurements.

Is that what happened
with trainor?

Nothing happened
with Richard trainor.

I'm sorry, it's my job.

I have to ask
these questions.

I know. It's just that
everybody assumes the worst.

Really makes me crazy sometimes.

[ Sighs ]

Anyway, how's the job going?
Any breakthroughs?

Not really.

Guess it's not like
in the movies, huh?

A list of suspects, a hunch
in the middle of the night.

Boy, I wish.

[ Phone rings ]Excuse me.

Homicide. Stoner.

Oh. Hi, honey.

That much?

Well, wait till I get home.

We'll talk about it
when I get home.

Yeah, I'll see you soon.
Bye-bye.

Sorry.

Well, so much
for my big confession.

I'll let you go now.

Thanks for coming by.

And don't think I assume
the worst about you.

I know.

Good-bye, detective stoner.

Good-bye.

Oh. Don't work too hard.

Well, here we are.

My room's next store.

Where's your father
going to sleep?

In the living room.

How old are you,
miss Hernandez?

Dad.

I'm 31, Mr. English.

And your a police officer,

so let me ask you a question.

What do you think
of young women

who pose naked for money?Dad, stop it.

No, I want to hear the answer.

English: What about it,
miss Hernandez?

It depends on the magazine.

[ Sarcastically ]
Depends on the magazine.

It's all pornography,
and you know it.

Daddy, stop it!

I'm sorry.

Why do you stay here?

He needs me.

Hey, Montana, right here.

Let me see you go out.

Back. Fading back.

Long. Come on, go on!

Run!

[ Groans ]

Sorry, Mrs. Swanton.

Dan! You're wanted
on the phone.

Okay.

It's Rose.

Que pasa, mi amigo?

Amiga.and what's happening
is that I want off this case.

Oh, Rose,
don't get excited.

I am not excited.
I'm depressed.

This whole house,
this whole case is depressing.

All right,
talk to me, Rose.

Look, Heather's father
is a real dark character, okay?

And there's religious literature
all over the place,

and I'm a nice catholic girl
guarding a pinup.

Well, just hang in there,
will you, please?

Dan, I don't want to go
to this party.

What party?

Tomorrow night at the villa.
Remember?

I thought that was canceled. They couldn't.

They've got people flying in
from Europe and all over.

Anyway, Heather wants
to go shopping,

get a manicure
and everything.

Yeah, so?

So what am I supposed to wear
to an orgy?

[ Sighs ]
It's not an orgy.

Uh, go out,
buy yourself a dress,

get a nice new hairdo,

and go to the party
and enjoy yourself.

You're gonna love it.

Speak for yourself, Dan.
And put Nancy back on the phone.

Not on your life, Hernandez.
Bye.

So what's this
about an orgy?

It's not an orgy.

It's a party
at the trainor villa,

and Rose just doesn't have
a thing to wear.

Wait a minute.
Are you going to this party?

With all these girls
running around the pool?

It's my job, baby.

Where'd you get this, dad?

Uh, a guy at the magazine
gave it to me.

That Cassie bascomb's a fox.

What do you know about
Cassie bascomb,
you little twerp.

[ Music playing ]

Dan, we got the pool,
the main hall,

and the front gate covered.

Stoner: Good.
Stay put, then.

Keep your eye
on the girls.

If you lose sight of 'em,

tell a guy in the area
to stay alert.

Detective stoner.Mm-hmm.

We all appreciate
what you're doing here,

but could you and your men
be a little less obvious?

Yes, all right.

We are trying
to have a party here.

Cleo:
Who's that with Heather?

Stoner: Hernandez?

Is that you, Rose?

No cracks, stoner.

Es muy bonito.

Where do you pack
your rod?

In my purse.

Hey, Hernandez, what are you
doing after the orgy?

Excuse me.

Mm-hmm.

Ready?
Okay, here we go.

This is Meredith macrae.

Moments ago,
Richard trainor stated

that despite
the inflammatory headlines

of the past few days,

he is certain that nothing
is going to mar

tonight's festivities.

The reason for this
is because his total confidence

in the police department.

One not only look around

to see the tight
security measures here.

Oh, this is nat couray.

He's gonna be mceeing
tonight's festivities.

Let's see if we can get
a word with him. Nat?

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

[ Music playing ]

Hello.hello.

What are you doing here?Looking for you.

I thought you were through
with all this.

Selling securities.

I am.
Glass of champagne?

No, I don't drink on duty,
thank you.

I don't suppose you dance
on duty, either.

Conti: Hey, Cassie,
why don't you come over here?

There's someone
I want you to meet.

Sorry, officer.That's all right.

You have a nice night.Thank you.

Detective stoner.

Guardian of our
little Babylon here.

Uncovered any clues lately?

Not lately, no.

Oh, don't be coy,
detective stoner.

I understand you think
Albert stark's the killer.

He's just one
of many suspects.

Who else is?

Well, how about you?

Interesting.

Why me?

Why not?

Uh, where is
Mr. Trainor hiding?

I thought this
was his party.

So did he, until
Cassie bascomb showed up.

Well, well, well,
speak of the devil.

Excuse me.

Oh. Excuse me,

but there's someone
I'd like you to meet.

[ Speaking Italian ]

My fiancé.

Sorry.

Fianc--fiancé?

Me? Why, I'm old enough
to be your father.

You are not.

So, uh, Cleo tells me
you're a party-crasher.

Well, coming from Cleo,
I take that as a compliment.

Walk me around
for a while.

You can walk on duty,
can't you?

Sure.

Come on.

The world of paradise.

It's so bizarre.

It must seem strange to you.

Aside from the girls,
the food,

and all the ferraris
outside...

[ Laughs ]

There he goes again.

He is such a jerk.

I swear the only reason
he's still around

is because he owes
Richard some money.

Oh, he's a compulsive gambler.

He wrote a fortune in ious
at the club in Paris last year.

There were also some, uh,

bad business deals,
I think.

What kind?

Oh, I don't know.

All I know is
that Richard owns his contract

for about the next ten years.

So he goes around
mauling all the girls,

hoping Richard will
kick him out of the kingdom.

At least,
that's my theory.

I would think mauling

would come with the territory
around here.

Yeah? Well, what's sad

is the guys you like
never do the mauling.

Well, if they did that,
you wouldn't like 'em, right?

Conti:
Don't get in the pool yet.

Just get near the pool.

Come on, girls.

The guys can come, too.
That's all right.

This is water volleyball.
Anybody play it?

[ Women cheering ]

This is the volleyball.
That's the water.

We need teams.

Let's have the blondes
down here,

the real blondes over here.

Jenny,
are you a real blonde?

Get a suit.
We need you.

Cassie, what about you?
You're a blonde.

Come on,
on the blonde team.

[ Laughs ]

What about you?

Can you play volleyball
on duty?

It gets my gun wet.

Conti: Smile.
Lots of teeth.

Um...

What, do I got spinach
on my tooth or what?

I like you.

I consider that
a compliment, Cassie.

Well, you are married,
aren't you?

Yes, I am.

What if I told you
I don't care?

I'd have to tell you I do.

Well...i guess it's time
for a little volleyball.

Thanks for the walk, Dan.

You're welcome.

Come on, Cassie,
get your suit on.

Cassie!

That's it.
Pick up some water, will you?

Just splash it for me
a little bit.

Give me the wet look.

That's a great outfit.
It's fetching.

Woman: Who turned out
the lights?

Check the lights.

We lost the lights.
Keep your eyes open.

[ Woman screaming ]

[ Screaming, laughing ]

Gail?

Where's Gail?

Someone's in the pool.Who is it?

Give me a hand.

Somebody help him.

Is she
still breathing?

[ Gasps ]

Seal off the area.

Give me some towels.

Get a blanket, somebody.
Towels, blankets.

The towel's right here.

[ Gail coughing ]

[ Coughing ]

We got you.

No, because
after the lights went out,

it was impossible
to see anything.

Dan, here's another one.

The police were in evidence
throughout the party.

Yes, they were,

but if it hadn't
been for them,

especially
for detective stoner,

Gail probably
would have been dead.

Thank you, Cassie.

Gail keating is currently
listed in good condition

at mission hospital,

but as far as we know,

the police still have
no suspects in the case.

Meredith macrae reporting.

No suspects.
We've got too many suspects.

We even checked out
trainor's ex-wife.

Trainor has an ex-wife?

Uh, he did.

She died 15 years ago
in a wreck.

So who does that leave?

Well, apart from stark,

there's nat couray, who owes
trainor mucho dinero.

Alan Conti cannot account for
his whereabouts at the time.

And, uh, Cleo banks,

trainor left standing
at the altar.

But you said
that was years ago.

Yeah, but Cassie says
she's still bitter.

And, of course,
there's trainor himself.

Well, how do you
figure that?

I don't know.

Just something about the guy.

Like guilt.

[ Laughs ]

Was everybody
in the pool last night?

Yeah, everybody but, uh, Cleo.

She was in the spa, alone.

What about Cassie bascomb?

What about her?

You said there was something
between her and trainor.

Yeah, well,
I guess I was wrong.

What's she like?

Cassie? She's all right.
A little confused.

Well, I think your son's
in love with her.

Why do you say that?

Well, I found this magazine
that you brought home

under his bed.

That ain't love, babe.
That's hormones.

[ Phone rings ]

Yeah, stoner.

Hey, moon,
how you doing?

Stoner: Was anything taken?

Cassie: Nothing,
as far as I can tell.

What time
did you get back?

About 1:00, I guess.

Well, I want
all your locks changed.

Until we find this guy,

I'm gonna have someone
outside guarding you

around the clock.

You?

[ Phone rings ]

You sure nothing's missing?Pretty sure.

My jewelry's still here.
Stereo.

Well, it's not the stereo
he's after, cass. It's you.

I'd check your
personal things--records--

Dan, just got a current
on Albert stark.

He lives in echo park.

Let's go get him.

I gotta go.

There's two guys
posted outside.

Don't leave home without them.

Dan, you hungry?

So-so.

Try one these, man.
Pizza nuggets.

[ Chuckles ]

No, I'm trying
to clean out my body.

Eat good stuff.

A little chicken,
a little fish,

no red meat.

Lot's of vegetables...

Steamed.

Well, these are real good.

You oughta try one.

[ Clears throat ]
Smells good.

Mm-hmm.

I always have them
for breakfast.

Oh, what the hell.

One can't hurt, right?

Mooney: Is that stark?

Stark naked.

What's he got in his hand?

Big Manila envelope.

Let's go.

[ Starts engine ]

Al, it's me.
Open up.

Who is it?

It's me from the photo lab.
I've got some good news.

I lied, al.
Open up. Police.

[ Engine starts ]

Ambition is "to be
successful, powerful,

"and live
in beautiful surroundings

with people I love."

Stoner: We also found
a phony press pass

dated the 17th, the night
that Pam cummings was killed.

And a receipt
from a copy place.

Stark went there
to copy something

according to the manager--
a book.

You missing a book?

No.

Do you think
he's the killer?

I don't know.

But he's been at the scene
every time, though, hasn't he?

Yeah, but it doesn't
make any sense.

Why would he attack Gail
and then tear this place apart?

To warn me that I'm next.
That's what you think.

No, that's what Tony thinks.

I'm gonna have
a very tall drink.

You want one?Sure.

[ Soft music playing ]

So why do you want to know?

I was just curious
is all.

What goes on in your head
when you're doing it?

You mean, uh...

When I'm posing or afterwards,

when I look at the pictures.

Either way.

Well, first of all,

the, um, session itself
is very professional.

You know, the lights
and the technicians.

And you want
to look good, of course.

And you want to look
seductive, too, right?

Sure.

Every woman wants
to be seductive

at the right time...

With the right man.

So...what happens now?

With the case,
you mean.

[ Laughs ]

Okay. About the case.

Uh, you make me nervous,
you know?

Sorry.

The case.

What's the next move?

A celebrity field day.

What?

Games, celebrity games--

that kind of thing.

Tony thought it would
bring stark out of his hole.

Oh.

What do you think?

Well, I think
he's interested in you.

[ Laughs ]

Well, then I'll be thereno, you won't.

Ah, so...

You really do care.

Of course I care.

I mean--

oh, don't get
the wrong idea now.What's that?

I mean, it's, uh--what?

Come on.

I'll think of something.

Like?

[ Laughs ]

Uh...uh-huh?

I gotta go.

You could lie.

I've never been
very good at that.

Night, cass.

I think we are ready
for a great afternoon

here at the sixth annual
paradise sports festival.

What do you say, gang?

Can you believe
these lovely ladies?

Now these are my chains,
that I lent them,

and I like to say that.

My car chains
is what I meant.

I'm very proud of them.

I'm still waiting to give
one of these ladies

some first aid.

It doesn't matter,
I'm not picky.

This is the 100 yard relay.

Pink leads it
at the wall now.

The blue team takes the lead.
Look at that teamwork.

Forget the Lakers.
Give me these angels.

Blue team ties it
with a victory--ouch.

Up and over.

I've tried to get my wife
to do this right here.

No chance of that,
none at all.

The blue angels' specialty

is definitely
the horizontal bars.

And look at Alicia go

beautiful!

The blue angels now
with a slim--

and I mean slim
five-point lead

as we prepare
for the stretch.

Ladies, stretch those muscles.

Our final relay
is coming up next.

Okay, I'm gonna try it now.

All right, hello.

Uh, we finally
had to draw straws.

So, uh, anyway,

your master of ceremonies
for the day,

uh, who's going to
have his hands full

keeping his eye
on the finish line--

Mr. Entertainment himself,
nat couray.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Thank you very much.

We gotta welcome
all the TV crews...

All right,
this is the wide one,

so give me the whole thing.
Let me see it all.

That a girl.
Let me see it.

Let me see your best side now.
Good side. Good stuff.

Stick it out there.
That's it. Good.

I like it. That's nice.
All right.

Let me see you
with that car now.

See you with that car.

I mean it, Heather.

You hit the dirt
at the first sign of anything.

Don't go into the crowd.

I won't, I won't.
Okay, mom?

All right, ladies,
we're all set.

I want you in
the middle Lane in all events.

Keep your eye on Rose
at all times.

What about Cassie?What about her?

She's taking Gail's place.She's what?

Not only today,
but in the centerfold.

Where is she?

...right over there
on the south end

of the festival ground.

Immediately following
this afternoon's finale,

we will all gather
at the...

Conti: Best side.
Good, good.

Stick it out.
Muscles.

That's enough
for now, Alan.

What do you think
you're doing?

I'm helping out.

No one else would,
and I figured--

now, wait a minute.

I figured I could use
the extra 20,000, which I can.

What's your idea,
coming out here

and getting undressed
for the magazine?

Was that a moral question,

or are you just concerned
about my safety?

Listen, I don't know
what you're doing,

but you wait until
we wrap things up here.

And then if you want
to dangle yourself

in front of trainor,
you go right ahead.

It's not trainor,
you idiot!

The top three finishes
in each five-man team--

did I say "man"?

Was that a slip
of the tongue.

Ladies, this is not exactly

miss america's runway,
is it?

But they're heading
for the competition.

Keep your eyes
on what's going on.

Five points for first,
three for second,

one for third.
You add 'em up...

Dan, can you come in
for a second?

Stoner.

It looks like
we got a problem.

A brown Van just pulled up
above the hill,

above center field.

Can you make out
the driver?

No, I can't really
make him out.

What do you think?

Nat: Okay, girls,
let's get set.

Are we all set?

You just tell me when.

Yeah, we're set.

[ Announcer talking ]

All right,
it's probably nothing.

...fill up with some
very beautiful females.

But, uh, let's be safe
and quiet about this.

Send smitty up there

and ask politely
for a driver's license.

I got it.

This is a 500-meter
tag team race,

five ladies each running
100 meters.

You never know,

we might have a big surprise
here in our grand finale.

Will all the girls please
gather at the starting line?

Media people,
hold up your cameras.

This is a big event.

Ladies, please see
the man in gray

for your final instructions.

[ Applause ]

On your Mark,
get set...

[ Bang ]

Go!

Talk to me, moon.

Mooney: Smitty's pulling up
to him right now.

Dan, watch out. The guy's coming down the hill.

[ Gunshots ]

[ Sirens ]

[ Starts engine ]

[ Siren ]

Hey, hey, slow down!

Look out!

[ Siren stops ]

[ Siren stops ]

Dan, get back!
Out of the way!

This is it?
From the whole Van?

That's it.

Except for some burned
negatives and a toolbox.

This guy must be
real sentimental.

He's not even in there.
I already looked.

[ Scoffs ]

What do you want me
to do with all this stuff?

Why don't you put it
in a box for stoner?

Okay.

Hey, wait a minute.

Heather English is the one
that told me about stark.

You kept your mouth shut.

I was trying
to protect Cassie.

You're the one who asked her
to replace Gail keating.

Who told you that?

She did. Are you
going to deny that?

Dan, the press
is on the way over.

What I don't understand
is why you didn't

put stark against the wall
when you had a chance.

I told you,

it would have been
a nightmare for Cassie.

Why a nightmare?
Why?

Well, pictures would
have been smeared

across every newspaper
in the country.

She was already
very upset.

Down the hall.
Come on!

How's stark, sergeant?

Have you had a chance
to talk to him yet?

No, not yet.
He's unconscious.

Have murder charges
been filed?Not at this time.

Are you saying this
wasn't attempted murder?

I don't know
what to call it.

All I can tell you
is he was unarmed.

What's your gut feeling
about this guy?

Is he your man or not?

All right.
Uh, what we have

is a peeping Tom.

Now, it happens
he was at the hotel

the night
Pam cummings was killed.

He also was
at trainor's villa

when Gail keating
was attacked.

So as far as I know,
we may have the best witness.

That's all I have to say.

This has to be
what the guy was talking about.

He said he copied
a book or something.

Why take it
to the field games?

Maybe it's Cassie bascomb's.

No, no. I called her
from the office.

And I checked Kara Alexander
and Pam cummings' photograph,

not to mention Gail
and, uh, Heather

and all the others.

You know,
this really is police work.

I ought to be paid for it.

Yeah, we'll bill forensics
in the morning.

Meantime, I need it now.

Like I said, not much.

Well...

Officer Tully, please report
to the nurses' station.

Officer Tully.

[ Flatline tone ]

Did it not occur to the guy
it might be a diversion?

What the hell
are we doing here?

Yeah.

I'll see you later.

Any witnesses?No.

Bye, honey.See you. Yeah.

Bye.

I forgot to remind your father

we're not going to
be home tonight.

I'm taking you to camp.

Dan!

The head icu nurse found him
about 7:00 this morning.

Nurse Cody, you're wanted

on the third-floor
nurses' station.

Hi, king.How you doing?

Sorry, Dan,
there's nothing for US here.

You get that box of stuff
from the Van?

Yeah, I did.

[ Phone rings ]I'll get it.

King.

Got him right here, Tony.

Yeah?

No, it's a washout
here, Tony.

King says there's nothing.

Dr. Frank cutler...

Oh, really?

Is that right?
Couray, huh?

Yeah, he's under surveillance.
All of them are.

Yeah, sure.

Hey, that's great.

Yeah, okay, bye.

We got US a break.
Got US a break!

King: Wait a minute.
What happened?

The hotel clerk
just found out

about stark's departure
and got scared.

He was lying.

Nat couray rented that room
for Pam cummings.

See you later.

Morning.

I know what you're gonna say,
and it's not my fault.

I thought your guy
might have been the killer.

What are you talking about?

Him across the street?

One of yours, no doubt.

I spot him outside
my condo last night,

so I call the guard.

Why didn't you just tell me
I was still under surveillance?

It's just a precaution.
That's all it is.

Tony wants me
to pick up the hotel clerk.

He wants you to stay with Cassie
till we figure out security.

What's this?
Did stark escape?

He was murdered last night.

Better go.Yeah.

Take Mr. Incognito
over there with you.

So, you think a hotel clerk
had something to do with this.

No, it's couray we're after.

He rented that room
for Pam cummings that night,

then followed her up there.

Come on, let's go.

To my place?

Yeah.

This yours?Yeah.

So what do you want
for dinner?

Hmm.

Wanna race for pink slips?

[ Revs engine ]

[ Tires squeal ]

[ Honking horn ]

Cassie! Open up!

[ Honking ]

I want to talk to you!

[ Honking ]

Are you all right?What'd you take off for?

You think this is some kind
of game we're playing here?

Come on.You just be quiet.
Get up.

Yeah, well, what was he
doing at Cassie bascomb's?

Waiting for Dan.

He says he called here,
but Dan was out.

Why didn't he
just call the broker?

He did, but the receptionist
told him Cassie had left.

That part's been confirmed.

What's Dan say
to all this?

That's garbage.
You know it, I know it.

Why else
would I come, huh?

Please, you tell me.
Tell me.

I don't want
to interrupt anything here.

Why didn't you just
wait outside for Cassie?

Because some dame
with a poodle came up

and asked
for my autograph.

I just wanted
to see you privately.

I didn't want
to sign autographs

for people in the street.

So a guy,
he pulled into the garage,

and I pulled in behind him.

And what's wrong with that?

So what'd you do?
You bribed him

like you bribed
the room clerk, right?

All right, I did that.
That was wrong.

But I didn't kill
these girls. Why?

Because you owed trainor
your soul for five years.

[ Laughs ]

I don't understa--
that's crazy.

How much was it anyway?
I mean, how much did you lose?

Well, it wasn't
all gambling, you know.

Some of it was, um,

real estate deals
that went sour.

How much?

I don't wanna--how much?!

$3 million.

Three million.
Three million.

Three million.
What the hell, huh?

Why didn't you tell
the lieutenant here

about your little tryst
with Pam cummings?

He doesn't like to register
under his own name

because of groupies.

Oh, groupies.
Why'd you register under hers?

Because she wanted it that way
in case her parents called.

So--okay.

So you register
under her name,

you give her the key,
and you follow her upstairs.

So then what happens?

No, I didn't follow her up
all the way.

Look, in the first place,

she took the elevator,
I took the back stairs.

I was--
I was a little jumpy

because after all,

this was a 19-year-old kid,
right?

So anyway,
I crossed the lobby.

She took the elevator

and I went up
the back stairwell.

I was--i was
climbing the stairs,

and then I heard something.

[ Running footsteps ]

[ Woman screaming ]

[ Crying ]

But you didn't get a good look
at who came down the stairs.

No, but they saw me.

Either it was the murderer
or Albert stark.

I don't like the timing
on this, Dan.

He goes out
because he hears screams,

and the real murderer
slips down the stairs.

No, no, no,
I got off the stairway.

I went into the hallway

because I heard someone
coming down the stairs.

So you ran down to the lobby,
overwhelmed with grief,

and you bribed the room clerk.

No. Listen, I don't have to
take any more of this.

I came in here voluntarily,
without even a lawyer.

Oh, take it easy.

I'm not gonna say
anything more.

It's over.

All right, all right.

Escort Mr. Coraggio
back to his cell.

Who?that's his real name.

Everybody changes their name
in this business.

Or is that a crime
around here, too?

When you change it from Italian
to French, it is.

So what do you think, Dan?

Everybody changes their names
in this business.

What?

Uh, nothing.

See you guys later.

[ Seagulls calling ]

Good morning.
This is Meredith macrae.

Police today announced
a major break

in the calendar girl
murder case.

Arrested was nat couray,
the well-known entertainer

and close friend
of Richard trainor.

Taken into custody last night,
couray refused comment

except to say
that he's innocent

of all charges against him.

Shown here being escorted
to police headquarters

after his arraignment,

couray has apparently
admitted some connection

with the first victim,
Pamela cummings,

who was killed by a fall
from the tenth floor

of the centennial hotel.

Morning, cass.

You look terrible.

Been up all night
with couray.

Well, come on in.
I'll get you some coffee.

No, I can't.

I, uh, just wanted
to say good-bye.

Good-bye?
Just like that?

Well, the d.A.'S boys
are mopping up now.

Did couray confess?

No, not yet,
but he will.

So this is it, huh?

Sorry it couldn't
have been different.

Me, too.

I understand Gail's back.

They're gonna shoot
her centerfold tonight

instead of you.

Trainor's always looking
for a prettier,

younger face, isn't he?

Oh, well.

Take care, Cassie.

Dan.

It was never real, was it?

You and me.

No.

No, I don't like these.

[ Phone rings ]

Well, maybe.

[ Ring ]

Yes?

Oh, uh, just a minute.
Detective stoner.

Yes, sergeant.
Congratulations.

I was just saying to Cleo
that you're, uh...

I beg your pardon?

Well, wait a minute.
Um, Gail keating hasn't--

what about her?

I'd like to talk
about this

because it, uh, isn't
what it appears to be.

All right,
whatever you say.

The garage?

Yes, of course.
We'll be there.

[ Sirens ]

[ Gasps ] Dan.
God, you scared me.

Sorry, Rose.

Couray's the killer.

Tony thinks that these
new pictures will prove it.

What pictures?

The guy who cleans out
the county ambulances

found a photo claim slip
with stark's name on it.

It's dated the day after
Pam cummings was killed.

You saw these pictures?They're negatives.

But in one of them you can see
the centennial Plaza hotel.

Nancy's blowing them up
right now.Nancy's what?

I called looking for you,
and she volunteered.

She's worried about you, Dan.

Are you all right?

Couray's not the killer,
Rose.

Then who is?

A girl named Julie wersen.

Wersen?
I know that name.

Yeah, yeah.
It's, uh, the name

of trainor's ex-wife
and his daughter.

He has a daughter?

He claims he didn't know
she was his daughter

when she first came
to work for him.

Didn't know until she was
angel of the year.

Cassie?

People change their names.

Dan, are you sure about this?

She killed stark
'cause he knew,

and she was afraid he was
going to blackmail her.

Oh, god, Dan.

What?

When I couldn't find you,
I called Cassie.

She knows about
the negatives, Dan,

and that Nancy's alone.Oh, no, Rose. No.

[ Phone rings ]

[ Ring ]

This better be you, Daniel.

Hello.

Hello.

Cassie...

It's over.

[ Sirens ]

[ Crying ]

All I ever wanted
was a father.

But you were never there.

It's okay, baby, it's over.
It's over.

[ Sighs ]

Nan says you caught
a 14-inch rainbow.

Yeah, it was
good fishing, Tony.

How you feeling?

Fine, thanks.

Have a good vacation
up there?

Terrific vacation.
Thanks for asking.

Oh, you heard about
Heather English, didn't you?

[ Laughs ]
Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I think she'll make
a hell of a cop.

Yeah, I think
you're right.

Uh, listen, uh...

I got the psychiatric report.

Oh, yeah?
Was I right?

Hmm?

Oh!

Yeah, pretty much.

This thing at the racetrack
is bugging me.

You read about that?Yeah, Tony.

We were talking about
the psychiatric report

on Cassie.

Oh, well, the usual things.

Love-hate thing
with her father and, uh...

I mean, this jockey kid
shows up

with his neck broken just after
winning the piedmont stakes.

The psychiatric report, Tony?

Uh, uh, abandoned
when she was a kid, you know,

then rejected again
when trainor shows up

and finds out who she is.

It's a hell of a thing.

You know what's even weirder?

Second place jockey
just got lunched today.

Is, uh, Cassie's report
in your office?

Oh, yeah, yeah.
Listen--

I'm gonna go read it.

There's just one thing
we didn't know, though, Dan.

Yeah, Cassie's been having

what they call
these psychotic episodes

ever since she was a kid.

Jockey had more dope in him
than the horse.

I'll bet you anything
the gang's mixed up in this.

Rita can't seem to--
hell of a looker.

Is this
the psychiatric report here?

Old man owns more
of the republics

down in Central America.

Get the name
of the horse, Dan.

I just want to look
at the psychiatric--

name of the horse
is Satan's curse.

How in the hell does
a jockey...

Hello! Tony.
