Thank you.

Elvis! Oh, Sandy, how are you?

How did you get the day off? Oh, I didn't. I'm playing hockey.

Oh, you mean hooking, Sasha? Yes, well...

Yes, hockey.

Oh, there are so many sights to see at the beach.

Well, enjoy the sights.

See you later, Elvis. Bye.

Look what you've done, you bald -headed bobo. Oh, I am so sorry.

So sorry don't make me no never mind, man.

You make Finkie Finkie of me merchandise.

Now you must pay.

Pay what?

Kali, man.

Payment for the crosses you bring me. But nothing is broken. I won't pay you

anything. Then I'll hit you then, man.

What is this hit?

I call on the Obia to bring you a plague of ill.

May your skin turn into a mess.

of itching fussy.

May your hood change into a puny.

What is this hood?

You know when you're with your woman next and you try jamming the cat?

Oh, well, I have news for you, for I have an empty curse.

They will just take your hex out of me and turn it back. to you.

Your mojo is weak, man.

The obia is strong.

Now go away and let your suffering begin.

Make one more sound and I'll kill you. Get inside you bitch!

Just another day in Italy.

Anybody sees more than me.

Anybody thinks she is free.

Stop that.

So it's been what?

A couple of weeks since Sandy's moved back in? Oh, wait a minute. I thought we

said our private lives were off -limits.

No, no, no. I said mine was off -limits. I never agreed to anything about yours.

Oh, meaning I tell you everything about my love life and get zipped from you?

Uh, yep, that's about right.

Attention all black and white and Pacific blue units. Report of a 261 at

Ocean Park Walk.

TC, isn't that your house?

You must be Calloway. I'm Detective Wilson.

Sandy, what happened?

Honey, it's me.

A man, he attacked me outside the door.

He put a pillowcase over my head and I couldn't breathe.

Baby, what did the guy look like?

Officer Calloway, can I talk to you for a minute?

What did he look like?

Officer Calloway.

I'm Bonnie Wilson.

I'm with the Metro Rape Squad.

I'm sorry about this.

Somebody tell me what the hell's going on.

She's still in shock.

All she got out was that a man in a mask grabbed her as she opened the door,

forced her inside into the bedroom, and sexually assaulted her.

He beat her pretty badly, too.

What time did this happen?

Around nine this morning.

Nine?

What time did you get the call?

Her 911 came in at 1 .39 p .m.

That's... Yes.

He was here over four hours.

I gotta take her to the hospital. I wouldn't do that. Why not? Because after

what she's been through, she doesn't want anyone to touch her.

It took ten minutes before she would let the paramedics get close. She shouldn't

be alone.

I'll take her to the emergency room. You can talk to her after they do the rape

kit, and she's seen a counselor.

She's right, T .C.

Let her.

Sandy can't handle you right now.

She'll think she's hexed. I am hexed. I'm losing my hair in clumps.

I'm going bald.

Gee, Elvis, weren't you kind of losing your hair anyway?

Not like this.

This is different. I am cursed, I tell you. Cursed. There's no such thing. It's

just a bunch of silly superstitions.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there, Officer Kelly.

Because in 1902, Luis Fuentes, a head of a village, a man with power and

respect, until, according to my grandmother...

He pissed off the local bruja. The what?

The witch. That's the witch.

Anyway, the bruja laid this deadly hex on him and all his teeth fell out.

Oh. And then he became impotent.

And then a week later, he died.

Protection. That's what I need to get. I need to get protection.

I am going to get more talismans and more charms and more crystal products.

This Luis fella, how old was he?

Uh, 92.

You're mean, Victor.

Very mean.

Hey, hold on, guys.

I need everyone in the bullpen.

He's a serial rapist we've been calling the Day Stalker.

He's attacked 14 women.

Last night was number 15 and the second one in this area.

Wait a minute.

This guy hit this area before?

Why didn't you tell us about this?

Because we only have a limited window to catch him.

He commits three or four rapes, then moves on. Well, so you guys were just

standing around waiting for more victims?

That's not exactly fair.

Lieutenant, did you know about this?

Let's hear her out, TC.

His M .O. is always the same.

He hits in broad daylight, picks an unsuspecting victim, tails her home,

ambushes her at gunpoint, then forces the woman inside and rapes her.

Metro wants us to keep a low profile, watch for this guy, try to pick him up

following women.

Shouldn't we post these drawings everywhere?

Vinnie will bolt, and we'll be sending the problem somewhere else. We're just

supposed to sit around until he hits again?

It's a tough choice, Calloway, but we have to stop him here.

What are we, the Alamo?

We might be.

He gets more violent with every attack.

The FBI has done a profile on him, and they're convinced that he's about to

cross over from serial rapist to serial killer.

I'm authorizing all the overtime we need.

Let's do it.

T .C., I'm really sorry about Sandy.

Yeah, man, I have to...

Anything. Hello, guys. Thanks.

Andy.

Honey.

Hi. Hi.

I wanted to go to the hospital, but they wouldn't let me see you.

I know.

I didn't want to see anyone.

Honey, what are you doing?

I can't stay here, do you see?

I'm going to Julie's for a while.

He won't come back, I promise.

I don't care.

You can't let this freak ruin your life.

He already has.

When he's ruined this house, I'll never feel safe here again.

You know, they told me at the hospital that this guy's been doing this for two

years. That I was number 15.

Why isn't anyone stopping him?

Believe me, we're trying. We will get this guy.

Too late for me.

Stop the decay.

Save me from doom.

Save me from doom. Save me from doom.

Save me from doom. Save

me from

doom. Elvis,

Elvis, what's the matter? The guy's discouraged.

You mean this?

It's just a frog.

This morning it was just a sandwich. I'm telling you it's beginning now.

Relax. I'm sure there's a rational explanation for all this.

You shut your mouth. You make one more sound and it's going to be the last day

of your life.

Get inside.

You shut up. Shut your mouth. Move it. You

moved

in with a friend?

Yeah, nothing I said made a difference.

I wouldn't take it personally, TC. I'd have trouble staying there myself.

Please don't hurt me. You shut up.

You don't talk.

You don't move.

You don't breathe unless I tell you.

Please just take what you want and go.

Right. I'm going to take what I want and you can't do a damn thing about it.

I was so scared.

If you hadn't come when you did, I thought he was going to kill me.

Did you happen to get a look?

Did you see what the guy looked like?

Yes. I could barely see through the pillowcase.

Thank you, Officer McNamara.

I'll take it from here.

I'm detectable with him.

Why don't we let them check you out first?

I wanted to fight back, but I didn't know what to do.

You did the right thing.

Fighting back could have gotten you killed.

Excuse me, Detective. Can I talk to you for a minute?

Why did you tell her that?

That she shouldn't fight back?

Because she shouldn't. He would have hurt her even worse.

A woman who fights has a much better chance of walking away from an attack.

Excuse me. I have to talk to her.

Yeah,

I'll be right there.

What are you doing?

It was you.

You were the one that put the frog in Elvis' lunch.

The tangled chains, exploding light bulbs, the saddles falling all over him,

those are all because of you.

That was the hex.

That's it.

You're going to tell him what you did.

No way.

If you don't, I will.

You see if you get a decent bike out of this shop again.

Elvis, um, you know the little things that have been happening around here?

The hex?

It wasn't the hex, it was me.

I was only playing with you.

So now you can relax.

Well, I'm glad we put that behind us.

Hey, the hex was working.

So were you. Look, you're getting worked up over nothing.

It was only a goof.

Countermeasures, my friend, must be taken.

He'll get over it.

Nothing. Nobody's seen him.

Corey, that stuff you told Detective Wilson, did you learn that at the

No, what they teach you at the academy isn't enough.

You need ground fighting.

Ground fighting?

Well, yeah, full power self -defense.

Give me one of those.

Blow the whistle, use the pepper spray, and run, of course, right?

Not hardly.

You need full contact fighting.

With what? A dummy?

No, it's a real live person. The guy wears a padded suit and he attacks you

physically and verbally.

It's pretty scary.

How does this work?

Well, you stay calm, you keep breathing, and then you negotiate with your

attacker. You make him think he's won.

Then you look for your opening.

What if there isn't one?

There's always an opening.

At some point, the guy's got to go for his pants.

Why don't you tell me about this stuff for Sandy?

This training is a great healing experience, but not until Sandy's ready.

I got to do something for her, Corey.

I can't stand a fear like this.

Well, it isn't badness himself come back to the scene of his crimes.

Hello, Mr. Juju Man.

You over here has taken a toll.

You don't look your dog hearted self.

Please, remove the hex from me. I'll pay anything.

Five dollars and I'll fix you up and send you on your way. Five dollars?

Is that it?

You think that's too high?

No, no, no, no. That is, that is, that's perfect.

I think that's great.

Here.

One more thing. Is it possible to take the hex and transfer

it to somebody else?

With the Orbia, anything is possible.

But remember, if you want it removed, you have to come back with the next hex

fee and do it together.

I do? These things have rules, man.

Otherwise, there'd be chaos.

Now it begins.

I'll break your stupid neck.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Stop it.

You okay?

It's okay, man. I can't breathe.

Let go.

What are you, nuts? I'm not nuts because I'm not the one that's going to pass

somebody half my time. It's a feeling, man.

TC, don't. Stop it. TC, let go of him. TC, let go of him now.

Come on, man. Come on, TC. Let him go.

Come on.

I'll step aside. You're under arrest.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, TC.

The jerk had it coming.

Hey, guys, hold up.

I need to have a word with TC.

Sure, yeah. I'll go get us something to drink.

Can I help you?

Uh, yeah. Three lemonades, please.

Sergeant of booking called me.

Said some citizen was making noise about filing a brutality complaint.

Just some guy using his girlfriend as a punching bag.

What are they supposed to do?

Lucky for you, four witnesses and a girlfriend backed you up.

Feel okay now?

Not really.

I'm not real happy with how this investigation is going.

Why? For one thing, that detective hasn't been back to interview Sandy, and

every time I try to talk to her, she just blows me off.

Look, you might not like Bonnie Wilson, but she's very highly thought of.

She's made some major arrests.

It's a high -profile case. She's under a lot of pressure.

Yeah, well, I don't have any confidence in her.

Fine.

Just be careful, TC. She has a lot of friends at Metro.

She'll make some trouble for you.

I'm in your corner.

Hey, dummy!

You're burning him again!

Jeez, where's your head?

What's with your shades?

Nothing. They've just been a little goofy on me today. That's all.

Maybe it's your face.

You're very funny.

Those are my favorite glasses.

They're expensive, too.

Relax. All they probably need is a screw.

You know, that's your answer to everything, isn't it? Just go pick them

okay? Hold my bike.

Might as well.

The day can only go uphill from here.

Your form is so much better than mine.

Hi. Hi.

I've been so worried about you.

You doing okay?

Yeah, I don't sleep much, but... Me neither.

TC, I'm so sorry that I couldn't stay.

You don't have to explain.

No, please, let me finish.

What happened to me was not your fault.

And I'm so sorry if I made you think that it was.

Baby, it's okay. I understand.

I know you do.

That's why I want to come home.

Really?

Mm -hmm.

I mean, because I completely understand if you never wanted to set foot in that

place again.

Really?

Yeah.

Really.

You're going to do what I say, aren't you?

Aren't you?

Yes, I'll do whatever you want. Just don't hurt me, okay?

Stop moving.

You're going to treat me real nice, aren't you?

Aren't you? Come on, Amy.

Answer him. Yes, I am.

That's good.

Real good.

Keep breathing, Amy.

Focus. Look for your opening. Don't make any noise or I'll kill you.

I swear I will. I won't. I'll be quiet. I promise. Just please don't hurt me.

No!

No!

No!

No! No!

No!

Okay, everybody. That was

ground fighting. Now, out on the street, your best defense is awareness.

So things like headphones cut off one of your early warning systems you're

hearing. Okay, next scenario we have is a woman attacked by a trooper in her own

bed.

Honey, I'm sorry.

You know, Corey told me not to push too hard, but I just couldn't listen. It's

okay, TC.

I know you were just trying to help.

I just wasn't ready for that, you know? I mean, maybe I will be, but just not

now. Hey, TC!

What can we get for you today, huh?

Sandy?

Sandy, honey, what's wrong?

Well...

It's that same smell.

What is, baby?

The one I'm smelling? It's the food.

It's the grease. It's the cooking grease.

You mean the guy.

I could smell it afterwards for days.

I thought I was never going to get it off of me.

Oh, God.

Okay, so the guy's a trend here, right?

But he's got to make rent like everybody else.

So he's got some kind of low -paying, minimum -wage job.

Sandy Smoked Grease. A grill jockey at a food stall. Sure.

Great.

Do you know how many food stalls there are in this area? I know a lot of the

guys that run the stands on the beach.

I'll ask around, see if anybody's hired anybody new in the last month. It

couldn't hurt.

But casually, okay?

I don't want to get this guy spooked before he... He what?

Raped somebody else?

I was going to say before we catch him.

Go ahead.

Look into it.

Thank you.

Lieutenant.

Yeah, I know most of the fry cooks on the boardwalk. Hell, I hired and fired

most of them three times.

You think any of them could have been this guy?

Nah. I mean, some of them are flaky. Most of them can't cook worth a damn,

none of them would do anything like that.

What about the guys you don't know?

You ever see anybody new working the boardwalk lately?

Nah. Haven't seen no one.

Oh, wait a minute.

You know, I think Benny down in Venice may have hired somebody about three

ago. Thanks, Roy.

Hey!

Don't you want your burger?

You crossed the line. I did nothing. I swear to you. At least I fessed up. I

have nothing to fess.

Whatever.

Oh, it's gone too far. Too far.

Are you going to tell me you didn't put that in there? I am allergic to cats. I

can't even look at cats without...

That's right, you are.

Victor, I am sorry, but I had Juju Man put Hex on you.

Well, tell him to get it off.

Now! You'll have to go with me. Juju Man says Hex must come back from you and

out through me.

Victor, don't tell me you believe in that stuff, too.

Absolutely not.

Let's go.

Oh, you poor little girl.

Did those silly boys scare you?

This guy's name is Rudy Milotic.

I ran him through NCIC and came up with three priors for sexual assault.

Good work, Officer Calloway.

What, that's it?

We'll look into it. When? When we get to it. It's a valid question, Detective.

It could be our guy.

We already had him on a list of possibles, along with another perp who

under surveillance now.

Who? Why didn't we hear about this? Because I'm not obligated to report to

And frankly, given your personal connection to one of the victims, we

would be better to keep you out of the loop.

I don't believe this.

You could have told us, Detective.

We couldn't take a chance and blow a conviction because a policeman has a

personal vendetta.

I don't know about this other guy, but I do know that Rudy Milotic is the day

stalker. I saw him trolling for a new victim.

If he even guessed that your officer was Talion, he's long gone by now.

He's still here, Lieutenant.

And if he kills the next one, it's on your head. All right, that's enough.

You both have valid points.

So what do you suggest?

A compromise.

Water's chummed. Now let's take the shark's bite.

He took the bait.

He's following her.

Stay on, TC.

We're crossing the target apartment.

Roger that.

And don't let him out of your sight.

Shadow dance, you see.

I can't see the creep, but I sure as hell can feel him.

Heading up channel.

I got a problem here, Lieutenant.

What is it?

Major 415, a bunch of yahoos just gummed up the Strand.

Get around them, go!

I don't see it, Lieutenant.

The last position was heading up Channel. Go.

I don't see him.

I'm going to hang here a second, see if he shows up.

Still not fine.

Look, I'm going to head back down Channel and pretend to look for my key.

TC, did you hear that? She's still on channel. I'm on my way.

You make

one sound, and I'll kill you. Do you understand me?

Answer me! Yes!

He's got her, TC. He's got her. I heard him. I'm up there.

Her radio's down. We lost contact.

She said that her radio's down. We lost contact, TC.

I lost him, Lieutenant.

I don't see him.

This is bad.

Corey can handle herself.

She better because he just crossed over.

What do you mean?

He changed his M .O. He may try to kill her.

Keep looking, TC. We're on our way.

Take it easy, all right?

Just put the gun away, all right?

Shut up!

You sluts are all alike.

You think you're so hot. Don't feel so special now, do you? No, no, I'm not

special at all.

I don't mean that.

You're not going to be talking to anyone after we're done. Please don't look.

Just put the gun away and I'll do whatever you want, all right?

Take off your clothes.

I'm sorry.

I'm just so scared I can't move.

Just put the gun away, and I'll do whatever you want.

Do it.

Now.

You okay?

I'm okay.

It's finished.

Come on, man. It's over.

It's done.

And if I borrow these?

Not much to look at, is he?

Hey.

Yeah,

I'm fine.

Detective, I believe this is yours.

Dispatch, we need an ambulance at 3509 Channel.

If it isn't the Bobo and his brethren.

Come to make licky -licky to Juju, man.

Hey, Mr. Juju Man, or whatever your name is, can you just do your thing?

Yes, please.

Take the hex off. Please.

There.

You're both on hex.

What?

Wait a minute. That's it?

Isn't there...

Something more?

It's not Hollywood, man. It's only a hex.

This better work.

Oh, I feel something.

Yeah, I feel something too. I feel stupid.

Don't make a sound.

Who are you?

What do you want? That's good, Sandy. Now keep breathing and keep talking.

Get up. Get up. Hurry up.

Do it.

Relax, T .C. You're gonna be fine.

You're gonna do everything I say.

Do you understand?

Whatever you want.

Please just don't hurt me. That's good, Sandy.

Now look for your opening.

Damn right you will.

We're gonna have a good time.

Go, Tim.

Don't try to talk it down.

Why, everyone that's on my town looks down at

me. It works for me.

Take a look around.

Just another day in LA.

We call that me.

Anybody thinks he is free.

Someday.

What is it down?

Just another day.
