(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

Do you know,
I don't know if I like

Stacy going out
with Dave Jamison.

He's okay.

Yeah, but he's divorced.
Will be.

What's wrong
with divorced men?

Well, for one thing,
they're...

Terrific guys.

Come to think of it,
divorced men are a real find.

A real find.

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

(TIRES SCREECH)

WOMAN: (OVER RADIO)
Four-Adam-Thirty and all units

in the vicinity
of County Hospital.

A 187 just occurred.

Suspect left in brown,
late model Ford Fairmont,

license William Dog,
Mary, 6-4-6.

Tell them we've got it.

Four-Adam-Thirty, roger.

(POLICE SIREN BLARING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Up there. That's him.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Four-Adam-Thirty, in pursuit
of 187 suspect

southbound on Chandler,
crossing Eighth.

(SIREN BLARES)

Four-Adam-Sixteen,
we'll pick them up at Tenth.

(SIREN BLARING)

(TIRES SCREECH)

Get out of here.

(POLICE SIRENS BLARING)

I'll call it in.

You guys okay?

Your back hurting, Hooker?

You sure you're okay?

Let's get to the scene
of the 187.

We're gonna need a ride.

(ENGINE STARTS)

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

(POLICE SIREN BLARING)

It's the staff
parking area.

Victim must have
worked in the hospital.

The motive
probably wasn't robbery.

It's not likely that
anybody on a hospital staff

would be carrying
a lot of money.

You haven't paid
any doctor bills lately.

We'll see if we can give
the detectives a hand.

Hooker.

Been awhile.

Ah.

My partner, Vince Romano.

You're riding
with top company, kid.

(CHUCKLES)

You're doing your brown-bag
number on this one, Pete?

You know me, Hooker,
creature of habit.

What's your stake in this?

Well, we were
in hot pursuit,

lost the suspect
and our car.

It's too bad, I wish
you'd have caught lady.

VINCE: Lady?

The killer's a woman?

Report I got from division
said a witness
described the killer

as a woman in nurse's uniform,

long brunette hair, 5'7".

The victim was a nurse, too.

Bludgeoned to death.

Bludgeoned...

Pete, there were
a couple of nurses

in the Highland area
that were bludgeoned to death.

Could be more of the same.

I remember, but three murders
separated by a year,

that doesn't set a pattern.

Oh, it might have been others.
It's a big city.

Could be.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER
ON POLICE RADIO)

Where's he going?
The murder went down here.

He knows
what he's doing, Jimmy.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

Hooker, you look
a little ouchy.

No pain, no gain.

Well, let's hear it.

A severe blow to the skull
with a blunt instrument.

That's all I can tell you
at this point.

Joan, I have a hunch
about this one.

Can you give it priority?

Hooker, have I ever
said no to you?

This belong to her?

VINCE:
I just checked the board.

They assigned us
to Pete O'Brien.

Yeah. He wants an assist
on the nurse killing.

What did you get from records?

Eleven months ago,
Paula Lipton,

several blows to the head
with a blunt instrument.

Two days later,
Genevieve Mann,

taken out the same way.

Where?

Uh, Highland. Both of them,
like you remembered.
No apparent motive.

Two senseless killings,
two days apart, then nothing.

Until five months later,
in Bayside.

Another nurse, Ruth Russo,
again a blunt instrument.

Then again, two days later,
one more, Louise Meredith.

That's a pattern.

Sorry to disappoint you,
but Louise Meredith was killed

by a loaded street-hype,
driving a stolen vehicle.

That 48 hour interval
was like a red flag.

I had the same thing

on a case I worked with
O'Brien, five years ago.

They nurses, too?

And they were stabbed,
not bludgeoned.

But they were killed
48 hours apart.

I'll dig out the name
of the hype-driver.

You call Joan Wagner
and tell her I want
an autopsy report

on the nurse
that was killed last night,

and the file
on Louise Meredith.

You got it.

Striking service
of the murder weapon

measured 36 millimeter square.

About an inch and a half.

And probably metal.

Judging by the clean
definition of the wounds,

and I'd say it was smooth.

Can you get me a sketch
of the wound configuration?

Better than that,
I'll have Dr. Yamato
take an impression.

Is that
Louise Meredith's file?

What are you looking for?

To prove a theory.

Given four homicides
of nurses by bludgeoning

in the last 11 months,
I'm betting

that Louise Meredith
makes it five.

Hooker, look at this.

Cause of death.
"Internal injuries".

Isn't there any evidence
of blows to the head?

It's too hard to tell.

Body was too badly damaged.

Oh, Joan,

these three nurses.

Will you check and see
if their wounds

could have been caused
by the same weapon.

Sure. What else
have I got to do?

Well, I'm sure if we put
our heads together

we could think of something.

(CHUCKLES)

You think maybe
O'Brien got lucky?

Could be. He figures he's
the luckiest guy in the world.

You got to be kidding me.
The guy's in a wheelchair.

Before I turned in
my gold shield,

Pete and I worked on that
psycho killer case.

The one Travers
helped us with.

And Pete went after the killer
on a rooftop chase.

It was eerie as hell.
It was dark.
There was no moon.

And Pete never saw the killer,

he was just chasing
shadows and shapes.

And suddenly,
he glimpsed a figure

leaping across
to the next building.

And he followed
and didn't make it.

He fell eight stories.

But his fall was broken
by a window awning.

He only lost
the use of his legs.

Lucky for him
and lucky for us.

He's a damn good cop.

Pete, what's up?

Tango Red.

It's supposed to,
when it's the name
of a lipstick shade.

HOOKER:
He found this near the scene
of Karen Peyton's murder?

Yeah. Over near
the hospital entrance.

That's over 50 yards
from the scene.

PETE: Close enough.

Had it analyzed. The brand
color ID is Tango Red.

Paula Lipton,
Highland Hospital.

VINCE: The first
murdered nurse.

Found not too far
from the murder scene.

HOOKER: Tango Red.

That ties Karen Peyton
to Paula Lipton.

And she was murdered two days
before another nurse
was bludgeoned to death.

It's coming together.

But according to your research
one of the murders

over at Bayside
was vehicular manslaughter.

Committed by one
Maurice Winston Morgan.

Sounds like a banker.

The only banking this
Morgan's ever done

is a cue ball
off the rail while waiting
for his connection to show.

Now it's your turn
to pick up some garbage.

There he is.
The one on the left.

(INAUDIBLE)

Looks like he just
bought himself a fix.

Gives us probable cause.

You've been reading
your manual, junior.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(POLICE SIREN BLARING)

(TIRES SCREECH)

HOOKER: I got him.

(GROANS)

Maurice, you always were
a pain in the back.

Hooker, I only been
out of jail for a month.

I don't want to go back.

That was
a vehicular manslaughter.

This is a change for you.

It was an accident.
That nurse ran
right in front of my car.

Your car?

Okay, so it was borrowed.

But she wasn't even looking.
I told the detectives.

Like she was running away
from the other nurse.

This other nurse.
What'd she look like?

She was scary,

wrapped up in that cape,
bright red lips,

just like George Hamilton
in that vampire picture.

Sounds like
you were hallucinating.

(SCOFFS) Yeah, that's what
the detectives said.

Only she was there.
She was a witness.

She could have got me
off the hook, but she split.

I think I know why.

Hook him up, Romano.
We're taking him in.

Hey, come on, Hooker,
I'm clean.

Maurice, the reason detectives
didn't believe you
about the other nurse,

is that you lack credibility.

VINCE: Do you think
Maurice can come up

with somebody
in the mug books?

We'll go through the motions,
but we're not gonna find
our killer in a mug book.

I know.

Oh, I've got a feeling
no cop has ever laid hands
on this lady.

My gut tells me she's gotten
away with murder five times

and she's headed
for number six.

How do you figure?

Paula Lipton.

And 48 hours after that,
Genevieve Mann.

Then, Ruth Russo.
And 48 hours after that one,

Louise Meredith.

And last night, Karen Peyton.

And I think that could mean
within 24 hours,

another nurse will die

at County Hospital.

(CLASSICAL PIANO MUSIC PLAYING

(MUSIC STOPS)

JIM: Cream with sugar, Stace?

Stacy.

On such a chilly night,
you have quite a glow.

Your love life picking up?

Well, I'll bet, it is.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Heard you went out
with Dave Jamison last night.

Well, we were trying
to keep it low profile.

But no chance
with you guys around.

JIM: Well, that's life in the
precinct goldfish bowl.

Low profile? Sure.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, isn't Dave Jamison
married to a policewoman,

works out of Midtown?

Don't start in, Romano?
Dave and Irene are separated.

They're getting a divorce.

Hey, I was just
trying to help.

Well, don't. I'm a big girl
and I can take care of myself.

Stacy, I just care about you.

We all do. Don't we, Jim?

Passionately.

Just keep everyone
out of my personal life,

including yourselves.

JIM: We're only trying
to protect you, partner.

Heard that Jamison's wife
shoots "expert"
on the pistol range.

Aw, come on, you guys,
will you?

Stacy's right.
It's her business. Let's roll.

Thanks.

(INAUDIBLE)

WOMAN: (OVER PA)
Dr. Cline, telephone, please.
Dr. Cline.

Hooker. What are you
doing along here?

Looking for you, Don.

I need your expertise
on these nurse killings.

Killings? Plural.

I'd heard about
last night, but...

Here's what came out
of the computer.

It's not much.

(UNFOLDING PAPER)

But it reminded me of the case
that you helped

our psychiatric people
with when we first met.

Five years ago.
Four women were attacked.

Only one survived, right?

You put together
a psychological profile
of the killer.

A lot good it did.
The murderer was never caught.

The murders stopped,
and we didn't have
much to go on.

And the one witness
who did survive,

she never eyeballed
her assailant.

You don't think
this is the same killer
starting up again, do you?

It could be.

Five years ago, we didn't know
whether the killer
was a man or a woman.

All right.

I'll take a look at this,
see what I can come up with.

Thank you, Don.

Say hello
to Marilyn for me...

Uh, wish I could,
we split a couple years back.

Oh, sorry to hear that.

Welcome to the club.

See you later.

JIM: Problems, partner?

Someone saw Dave Jamison
out on a date last night.

(CHUCKLES)

When a guy
splits from his wife,
he sometimes plays the field.

Yeah, but the girl
he was with was his wife.

Well, maybe I should have
a little talk with him.

Thanks, Jim, but no thanks.

Okay, but just say the word,
if you want me to get
into it with Jamison.

I tried, Hooker,

but Division's not going
to spring anyone to help me.

At least you've got
the four of us.

Yeah, but
Sheridan's not happy,

but he did clear you guys
for 48 hours.

We better get cracking.

All right, I'll get on
the horn to Bayside
and Highland Hospital.

I have the list waiting
for you when you get there.

Hey, Corrigan, that partner
of yours is USDA prime.

Well, starting now, Jamison,
she's off limits to you.

What I do is my business.
So butt out, huh.

Hey, read my lips, Jamison.
Hands off Stacy.

She doesn't need to be
hit on by a married guy.

Leave him alone, Jim,
he's not worth it.

Stacy, I want to talk to you.

You heard the lady.
Now buzz off.

I think he got the message.

Yeah, so did
the whole precinct.

From now on, stop acting
like my guardian angel.

Something wrong?

Just a little
misunderstanding.

Heard the Captain
assigned us to O'Brien.

Yeah, I want you
and Stacy to go down
to Highland Hospital.

Pick up a list of the nurses
that were on staff there

at the time
of the first two murders.

Same for Bayside
and the second two victims?

Right. And Romano
and I will pick up
the list at County.

Then we'll match up
the rosters,

and see if there are any names
that appear on all three.

And afterwards,
we'll eliminate anybody
who's not a brunette,

and under 5'7".

Let's roll.

Come on, Hooker,

I can see your back
is still bothering you.

That crash must've jostled

that old slug
you've been carrying around.

It's a souvenir
ever since I took down
the Bonner brothers.

I'm used to it.

You still think the nurse
murders are connected

to that old case you worked on
with Travers?

I don't know. If only someone
had seen the killer.

Could tell us whether
it was a man or a woman.

You said
one of the victims survived.

Maybe it's worth
talking to her.

We'll find out, as soon
as we leave the hospital.

(SOFTLY) Here you go.

HOOKER: Don.

Hooker.

Afraid I don't have
anything for you.

There wasn't
enough information

in the computer readout
for a profile.

Well, there's more, now.
Details are in here.

Now we're sure
she strikes in pairs.

Two victims, 48 hours apart,

five or six month wait
and then she starts again.

Interesting pattern.
Always the same MO?

She bludgeons
her victims to death.

Metal instrument,
square striking surface.

My guess is
you're dealing with a

rigidly compulsive
individual here.

Probably paranoid,

with a controlled rage that
breaks loose periodically,

and can only be suppressed

through these
ritualistic acts of murder.

Suppressed till
she feels the urge again.

Exactly.

Don, I appreciate
the diagnosis,

but I really need
a specific profile now.

I'll do the best I can.

I only hope it does
some good this time.

Dr. Travers, how you doing?

Got the list, Hooker.

One stop,
then we'll check it out.

(DOG BARKING)

(GROANS)

Shirley Potter.

This is Officer Romano.
My name's Hooker.

I've been trying to reach you
at the office.

I know. I got your message.

I left word that I didn't
wanna discuss the killings.

HOOKER: Please,
we've talked before.

Five years ago.
I was a detective then.

Oh, of course.
In the hospital, after...

Oh, God... I can't.

I know the memory of what
happened must be very painful,

but there's been
a new series of murders,

and it's possible that
they could be connected

to the ones five years ago.

I still have nightmares.

Please try to remember.

It's very important,
Mrs. Potter.

(SHAKILY)
I've tried so hard to forget.

I was...

I was coming home late, and...

And all of a sudden there was
someone behind me, and...

Before I... I could just
scream or run or anything,

he grabbed me, and...

And he... (SOBS)

You said "he".
Are you sure it was a man?

When he put his hand
over my mouth,

I... I could tell
it was a man's wrist,

because there was hair
on the back of it.

Had long hair,
and it brushed my neck.

And then he,
he started stabbing me.

(SOBBING)

I'll never forget it.

I'm really sorry
to bring it back like this.

(FRONT DOOR OPENS)

(GASPS)

Oh.

I've told you all I can.

You did very well.

Thank you.

The killer five years ago
was a man.

There goes your connection.

Yeah. You win some

and you lose some.

All right, nine brunettes

who worked at each
of the hospitals
at the time the murders.

And just five of them
are 5'7" or taller.

Your instincts
were right, Hooker.

First three victims,
same murder weapon.

Wound impressions
all 36 millimeters square.

Like this.
The mold from Dr. Yamato.

Did you get anything
from Travers and the profile?

I'm gonna call him right now.

These two nurses
live at the same address.

Maybe they're roommates.

I'll take them,
we can split up the rest.

Something wrong, Hooker?

I'm disappointed
in Don Travers.

He dragging his feet
on that profile?

He said he's not ready yet.

Well, then, we have to work
with what we got.

Well, I got Marian Friedman,
Taylor Street.

The others all live
near the hospital.

I'll work with Corrigan
and Stace on it.

Let's go.

HOOKER: Excuse me.

Yes. I'm looking for
Marian Friedman.

Come on, I'll show you.

Number 12,
right down that way.

MAN: Mother.

(SCREAMS)

No. No!

You! Stop!

You all right?

How long have you had
that bullet in your back?

About five years.

It has a way of acting up
every now and then
to remind me it's there.

Well, I'm no neurosurgeon,

but I think
you should see one,

and maybe stay here
for a few days.

I'll take a rain check
on that.

All right, so we
shouldn't have interfered.

You were the one
who said he was going out
with his wife.

Well, it just proves
that things aren't always
what they seem.

There is nothing wrong
with Dave and Irene

discussing their
divorce settlement.

All right.
So, Corrigan made a mistake.

Me?

All right, we both did.

Hey, look, from now on,
your personal life
is your own business.

Thanks.

(WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY
OVER PA)

How's the patient, nurse?

Impossible, but nice.

I had him scheduled for one
of my first-class massages.

Listen, I've got
this muscle spasm...

Yeah, you can't stop talking.
Thanks for everything, Betty.

Come on, come on.

HOOKER: How did you guys
do with the nurses

you questioned last night?

Corrigan and I were each
with one of them

while you were chasing
the killer.

So they're in the clear.

There's no way
either one of them
could've been involved.

How were
your candidates, Stacy?

One of them
is still a possible.

Her roommate says
she's out of town.

She's due back this evening.

We can't let up.

The murderer's compulsion

will keep her hunting
for a second victim,

until she makes the kill.

You sound pretty positive.

Pretty specific,
like you took a crash course

in criminal psychology.

I got the word
from Don Travers
just few minutes ago.

He was here?

I don't know
if I'd show up for work

after my Porsche
got totaled.

Don's Porsche?

He never mentioned
anything about it.

Yeah, the killer
was driving it last night.

She stole it
from the hospital parking lot.

You're kidding.

Did Homicide talk to him?

Yeah. They didn't get anything
that could help us, so.

Why don't you two of you
double check

that nurse who was
supposed to be out of town.

See if she's back,
see if her story holds up.

Will do.

Okay.

Let's drop in on Don
along the way.

(DOORBELL RINGING)

HOOKER: Don.

I wanna talk to you
about your car.

Well, I was trying
to catch a few winks.

I'm really sorry.

Look, maybe
there was something

the detectives didn't get.

There's not much to get.
I was working late.

When I went to get in the car,
it was gone.

Did you notice anything?

I mean,
where the car was parked?

An empty space.

No, Don, I mean,
on the ground?

Something that might
have been dropped?

Come on, Hooker.
I loved that car.

I almost went into shock
when I saw it was gone.

As a matter of fact,
it took me quite a while

to get myself together
in order to call the police.

That was it.

Well, I guess so.

If you can't remember anything
more about last night.

You mean, if I saw a tall,
brunette nurse

sneaking around the hallway
on her way to steal my car?

The answer's no.

Well, we'll get out
of your hair.

You collect antiques?

That's a surgeon's kit
from the turn of the century.

Must be worth
quite a bit of money.

Oh, family heirloom.

I'm... I'm sorry
I'm so crabby, it's been
a rough couple of days.

So I've been told.
Thank you.

PETE:
Nurse you saved last night,

she was still in shock
when I got to the scene,
but...

She had some strands of hair
putzed in her fist.

Human hair.

Some of the ends had traces
of a rubber-based adhesive.

Maybe they were
yanked out of a wig.

I'd say our killer
isn't a brunette.

I'd go one step further, Pete.

I got a hunch.

Our killer isn't a woman.

That's out of
left field, Hooker.

What've you got to hang it on?

I never saw a woman
run like that.

And I'm not just
talking about speed.

Hmm.

Shirley Potter said long hair.

Her attacker could have been
wearing a wig, too.

You got it, partner.

We could be after a man.

We'll be in touch, Pete.

I want to get back
to the morgue.

Look over those victims files
one more time.

JOAN: Looks like
you struck out, Hooker.

I was really hoping that
we'd missed something.

But there's zip.

HOOKER: Another nurse
may die tonight.

And we keep hitting dead ends.

What's this?

Surgical mallet.

It's metal.

Smooth.

If the head wasn't round...

You're right.

My God. It was so close to me
I didn't see it.

See what?

That's a modern
surgical mallet.

The old ones
had a square head.

Old? Like a
turn-of-the-century old?

Yes. How'd you know?

A friend of mine.

Don Travers has
a collection of antique
surgical instruments.

Tonight, I'm going
to kill you, Mother.

And then...

And then...

(GRUNTS)

You will not come back
to haunt me!

You will die!

Die!

Die!

(POLICE SIREN BLARING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Don?

Don?

VINCE: Hooker, in here!

Uniforms.

Over there on
the dressing table, makeup.

The wig.

It's gone and so is he.

He's out there, Hooker,
looking to kill again.

Question is who?

I'll tell you, Romano.

It's a nurse
who works at County,

who's been given
a long-stemmed rose.

How do you figure that?

I lay you money,
this picture is his mother.

And those murders are tied up
with his feelings about her.

Karen Peyton,
in the hospital parking lot.

The rose left near her body.

The nurse he tried to kill,
she had a long-stem rose.

Hooker, there could be
a 100 nurses at County.

How do we find out which one
he sent the rose to?

We go down to the hospital
and we ask questions.

Get Stacy and Corrigan
on the horn.

Tell them to meet us
down there, fast.

WOMAN: (OVER SPEAKERS)
Nurse Macrae,

Nurse Betty Macrae.

Report to Dr. Miles
in Pathology.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

We'll split up.
Stacy, you take
the nurses' lounge,

Corrigan, you cover
the cafeteria.

They're covered, Hooker.

Got hospital security scouring
the spots where nurses gather.

And backup's
rolling from the precinct.

We'll cover this place
floor by floor.

You take the second,
we'll take the third
and we'll work our way up.

WOMAN: (OVER PA)
Dr. Cline, telephone please.
Dr. Cline.

Dr. Henzo, to surgery, please.
Dr. Henzo.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

This is the floor you were on.

Find some nurses.
They'll help spread the word.

Don Travers
left his calling card.

And he left it with Betty.

Betty Macrae. Where is she?

She was just called down
to the basement, to Pathology.

At this time of night?

One of the doctors
must be working late.

I saw her start down.

Junior, if Betty shows up,
keep your eye on her.

(SCREAMS)

Don, stop!

Get upstairs.

Tell the police I've got
Travers down here, now!

Travers?

Oh, my God!

(GROANS)

(FIRE ALARM SOUNDING)

(GROANING)

Dr. Travers.

JIM: Travers' mother
mistreated him as a child,

and didn't let up
till the day she died.

Our police shrink speculated
that the first victim

of each pair
represented his mother.

And the second, her ghost.

VINCE: The case
you were working on

with Pete O'Brien
five years ago,

it was Travers,
even back then, in drag.

What I don't get
is that there were

a few years in between there
when he wasn't killing.

JIM: Well,
he meet a lady, right?

Marilyn. While they
were involved, he stopped.

When they split up,
he started killing again.

Only this time it focused
on nurses, like his mother.

So what the psychiatrist said
was all mumbo-jumbo to me.

The important thing is
we nailed Travers

before he
started killing again.

Jamison's wife
have any hard feelings?

Hard feelings?

She told me he's been
working extra shifts,

special duty, doesn't come
home much at nights.

You mean,
