Do we talk or do I trash this thing?

The DA wants one of you to testify in
the Juliana case. Who's it going to be?

McCall.

You know, you'd make a pretty good cop.

You'd make a lousy showgirl.

Hal, they're trying to kill me.

Rick, you know I want kids.

Yeah.

Sergeant McCall, you may be the first
mother standing by at the delivery of

own baby.

Look at, look at that.

Is she beautiful?

Have a nice day.

Yeah. Lieutenant Watley? Yeah, what do
you want?

I have a package for you. Well, I'm just
getting into the tub. I can't now. Just

leave it there.

Outside the door?

No, no, inside the courtyard.

I'll buzz you in.

We have a plumbing problem, Miss
Pileski. Mr. Warren wants me to check

bathroom.

Okay.

The victim was shot in the head at close
range with a small caliber handgun,

probably a .22.

She's alive, but barely.

And she looks to me to be six or seven
months pregnant.

Oh, my God.

What do we got in the way of evidence
here?

Well, according to this New York State
driver's license, she's Irene Pilefsky,

21, from Buffalo.

Any evidence of robbery?

Doesn't look like it. They didn't even
bother to come in.

Just shot her right there in the
doorway.

How long ago do you think that was?

Neighbor Edna Watley found her. She put
in a call to us at about 4 .27.

Edna! Edna!

Edna, what's going on? What's happened?
Edna!

Ma 'am.

Thank you.

Miss Watley,

I'm Sergeant Hunter.

I understand you're the one that
discovered Miss Pilevsky's body.

Yeah. I live right next door to her.

Poor baby.

I tell you, I don't understand none of
this.

Who'd want to hurt that sweet child?

Now, when you heard the gunshots... I
didn't hear no shot.

I went out to the lobby to pick up a
package supposed to be left there for

only there wasn't nothing there.

And when I come back, I seen Irene's
door open and her... just laying there.

Now, you sure you didn't hear anything
that sounded like a car backfire? Look,

ain't nothing wrong with my ears. I'm
telling you, I didn't hear no shot.

And my TV wasn't on, neither.

Now, you say you went down for a
package?

Yeah, it come when I was taking a bed.

So I told the guy to just leave it in
the lobby. Only it wasn't there when I

went out there. You talked to him on the
intercom?

Yeah, when I buzzed him in. What time
was that?

Oh, let's see. It must have been about
four.

Yeah, because I didn't go take my bed
until after your lucky day was over

And that must have been about... Your
lucky day?

Yeah, the game show, Your Lucky Day.

You could win dinettes. I thought you
said your television wasn't on, though.

Well, I always turn it off when my
program goes off.

Oh, yeah.

What about Irene's friends? Tell me
about them.

She's only been here a couple of months.

She didn't have no friends, except for
me and Sister Nora, over at St. Ignace's

home, you know.

They was helping her with the baby.

Yeah.

Would you happen to have Sister Nora's
address and phone number? Oh, sure I do.

Irene, give it to me in case of...
emergency.

It's in my apartment.

Anybody you talk to hear gunshots?

Nobody. Must have been a silencer.

Make it a professional hit. That doesn't
make any sense. She's just a kid.

Sure doesn't. Let's go find out why.

I'm gonna go over to the hospital.

I'll drop you off with Sister Nora.
She's more your type.

of the emotional display, but I still
find it difficult to accept.

Dear Lord, that child was such a gentle
creature.

Who would possibly wish her any harm?

Are you sure it wasn't a robbery?

It doesn't appear to be.

Sister Nora, I need for you to tell me
anything you can about Irene.

That's very little, I'm afraid.

The most important thing we offer these
girls is confidentiality.

The only reason we ask them for their
birth certificate or driver's license is

we're required to by law to be sure they
aren't minors.

Well, what about the father of Irene's
baby? Did she have any contact with him?

No.

He was back home, not here in Los
Angeles.

She didn't even tell him she was
pregnant.

Back home, you mean in Buffalo?

Why, yes, that's where her family is.

Do you know if she tried to contact the
family there?

Well, I tried to persuade her to tell
them the truth, but she wouldn't hear of

it. The thought of their finding out she
was pregnant simply terrified Irene.

So she invented a story that she was
traveling in Canada as an exchange

and she'd call them every ten days or so
from Canada.

Did you ever try to call the parents?

Oh, good heavens, no.

That would be violating an irrevocable
trust.

If we didn't offer that, many of these
girls would opt for abortion.

But Pilevsky is hardly a common name.
I'm sure if you call Buffalo,

Yeah, yeah.

Well, thank you.

Hello?

Is this Mrs. Pilevsky?

Yes.

Yes, who's this?

police in Los Angeles.

Mrs.

Pilevsky, do you have a daughter named
Irene?

Yes.

The bullet entered the frontal lobe,
causing massive brain damage before

there.

I don't understand. Is Irene going to be
all right?

Mrs. Pilevsky, the reason I have to see
you before you saw your daughter is that

when she arrived at the hospital, she
was brain dead.

Her condition is irreversible.

I'm sorry.

There was nothing we could do.

I want to see my daughter.

Not my daughter.

It's not Irene.

Take another look, Mrs. Pileski. Be
absolutely sure. I don't have to. I know

daughter. This isn't her.

I'll send you a picture, then you'll
see.

I'm very sorry about this poor girl.

But she's not my daughter.

Irene left home after her father died
three years ago.

She said she was going to get money and
send some to me, but...

I didn't hear anything.

No letters. She didn't call.

She was always going to do something
big.

Nothing ever worked out for her.

When was the last time you saw Miss
Pileski?

Six months ago.

I came home, and there's Irene on the
stoop waiting for me.

How long did she stay?

Two months.

She was very distant. I couldn't get her
to talk to me.

And then one day, I came home.

And she cut off all her hair. I mean,
all of it. To here.

She'd always been so proud of her hair.

Well, I was very upset about that.

Next morning, she was... She was gone.

Did she leave a number or an address
where you could reach her?

Nothing.

Ready, Sergeant.

This is Officer Garrett. He's going to
take you to the airport.

We're very sorry to have to put you
through all this. It's okay. Believe me,

it's okay.

We'll keep you posted until we find
Irene.

You'll look for her?

Oh, yes. We've got to find her back.

You think somebody wants to kill Irene?

Well, there's a good possibility of
that, yes.

Be sure to send us that picture. It'll
help.

I'll send it as soon as I get home.

Have a nice flight.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

You better find that girl fast.

Whoever put the hit on her is going to
try again as soon as they figure out

killed the wrong girl.

Morning, McCall. Morning, Hunter.

How are you, Charlie?

Glad to see you looking so happy and
relaxed this morning because I've got

depressing news for you.

The DA wants one of you to testify in
the Giuliano case. Who's it going to be?

McCall. You work it out. Whoever it is,
in my office in ten minutes.

No, wait.

I want this case.

You want a foot for it? No.

Let me have this case, okay?

There's something about it with the girl
and the baby and everything.

I want the case, all right?

Sure. Thanks.

I'll make Charlie wait ten minutes, and
then I'll go down.

This one's in ICU with a bullet in her
brain.

Pregnant. Jane Doe.

She was hiding from her parents using
this one's ID.

One Irene Pileski. And this picture's
about three years old. Her hair's cut a

lot shorter now.

We think she might have been the target
for the bullet that Jane Doe took.

Might have been?

You mean you're just guessing?

Well, it's one of the things I do best,
Mike.

By the way, we drew a blank on Jane
Doe's fingerprints.

She didn't have a car, so she probably
never had any taken.

You love to complicate my life, don't
you?

Complicate in what? I got you the dental
history on Jane Doe. Look at that.

There's three fillings, one impacted
wisdom tooth, and I have for you here

everything that we have on Irene
Pilevsky.

It's not great, but it's not bad under
Jane Doe, I mean.

And if somebody's filed a missing
persons report on her, well...

I can probably get you something from
the computer in a couple of hours.

Well, I don't think you're going to find
anything in the computer.

Now what?

The girl told her family she was
traveling with a group of students in

so they don't think of her as missing.
So there's no report.

You got any conception what it's going
to be like to try to find this girl's

family? I mean, just using this stuff?

Look at this girl's face.

I wouldn't recognize her if she was my
daughter. And for her dental x -rays.

They're not going to mean nothing until
somebody starts looking for her.

Well, concentrate on Irene.

Maybe she knows who this Jane Doe is.

Put a picture in the paper. Maybe a
little local news coverage is all we

Yeah, you know that's all you ever give
me?

Is a bunch of mites and maybes?

Well, that's why we come to you, Mike.

Because you're the expert on mites and
maybes.

Really? Yeah.

Okay.

Do me a favor. Cut out this coffee. It's
making you nervous.

Yeah, too much caffeine.

What do you put in here, anyway?

Sergeant, I appreciate your concern, but
the hospital ethics committee met this

morning.

Now, if someone doesn't come forward
soon to claim responsibility, the

administration will have to ask the
court to appoint a guardian. It will be

to the guardian to decide if and when
life support will be discontinued.

What are you saying? Are you saying that
some stranger is going to be able to

decide the fate of the baby that's
inside that girl? The hospital can't

responsibility indefinitely. If you
can't find out who your Jane Doe is,

probably be instructed to turn off life
support.

Meantime, we're doing ultrasound tests
and we're monitoring the heartbeat just

in case.

What about amniocentesis?

The results of that test won't be in for
ten days.

Preliminary findings show the lungs
aren't developed and there's a hole in

heart.

Are you saying the baby can't make it?

No. It's not uncommon for a 27 -week
fetus to have a hole in its heart. Under

normal circumstances, it would usually
close just before or after birth.

But normal circumstances don't prevail
in this case.

So what you're telling me is, if
somebody doesn't come forward to claim

responsibility here, some court
-appointed guardian is going to be able

the plug?

Easy, Sergeant.

Take it easy.

Just how long we can keep Jane Doe's
body functioning is an unknown.

And it doesn't look very promising.

How long is it going to take for the
court to appoint this guardian?

Sometime tomorrow. Day after at the
latest.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Sooner or later, her parents will
realize she's missing and they'll call

police, but that might take days, even
weeks. I understand the hospital's point

of view. You know, it costs a minimum
money to keep someone on life support,

to mention delivering a baby that might
have its own medical problems.

Dee Dee?

The hospital is not a charitable
institution, nor is it an adoption

We're talking about a child here.

I think I know that.

Now, relax, take it easy. I happen to
agree with you. I happen to believe that

your Jane Doe's parents probably will
show up soon.

So, I'm granting you your 72 -hour
injunction.

Ooh.

Thank you.

Which means, by the way, the county is
footing the bill for the three days. So,

please. Don't let me down.

I won't.

Dr. Lynch to radiology. Dr.

Lynch to radiology, please.

Dr.

Parker to main north. Dr. Parker to main
north.

What's all this?

Read it.

It's a restraining order that prevents
the hospital from taking instructions

from anyone to pull the plug on Jane
Doe's life support system for an

three days.

Good for you, Sergeant.

Sit down.

Have a steak. Surprisingly enough,
they're very good here.

That's not the reaction you expected,
huh?

Did you think I was drooling to pull the
plug on Jane Doan and her baby?

Well, no, I, uh... I just thought you
weren't very concerned.

Do police officers indulge their
emotions on their cases?

No.

Actually, we have to keep a certain
distance.

But you're not willing to assume the
doctors do, too?

You know, Sergeant, everything I've done
since I was 18 years old, I've done

because I wanted to save lives.

Preserve them with dignity and comfort.

All my instincts make me want to deliver
that child and hand her over to someone

who will love her and take care of her.

Boy, I feel pretty stupid.

Good. I want you to.

You want some coffee?

Yeah.

Thank you.

I'm very sorry.

I thought that you were rather cold and
callous, and I was very wrong.

I'm sorry.

You know, when I started in medicine 20
years ago, the world was a lot simpler.

Life support systems were primitive, and
all these complex ethical questions

hadn't been asked yet.

What I'm trying to say is the ethics
committee tries to do the right thing.

But we have rules and regulations and
the hospital operates on a stringent

budget and has to obey those rules and
not take on responsibilities that belong

elsewhere.

So it warms me when somebody like you
comes along and forces us to do what we

wanted to in the first place.

Oh, by the way, any progress finding
Jane Doe's parents?

We don't have too much to go on.

But we're doing everything we can.

What was your name again?

Tiffany.

Oh, yeah, right.

What about your boyfriend now?

Oh, so, anyway.

I'm going with this guy named Todd,
right? And we are just, like, really,

super in love with each other and
everything like that.

And the only problem is he works in this
really cool club. And one night this,

like, totally bogus girl shows up, you
know?

And Todd, like, dumps me.

Couldn't even believe you could do such
a cool thing like that.

And then I read in the newspaper that
the police were looking for this Irene

Pilevsky and everything, so I, like,
came right down.

Why?

Why what?

Why did you come right down?

Because, like, that was her name, Irene
Pilevsky. Oh, yeah.

Like, I'm going to forget her name. I
mean, she took my boyfriend away from

The name Pilevsky is absolutely branded
on my memory forever for life. Is that

her? Oh, my God, yes.

is branded on my memory, too, only, you
know, she didn't have, like, all this

hair and stuff. Like, her hair, when I
saw her, was, like, really, really,

really short. It was totally ugly. It
was absolutely disgusting. I mean, I

wouldn't even wear my hair like that. I
wouldn't be caught with that hairstyle

when it was my day. You know what I'm
saying? But, yes, that's her.

Once she moved in on Todd, he could not
even remember my first name.

Now, look, uh, your boyfriend is Todd
who?

My ex -boyfriend, please. His name is
Todd Logan, and he's a real, real super

fox, and he works at the Cosmos Club on
Pico, and he plays guitar, lead guitar,

even with the stiff springs. Have you
heard the stiff springs? They're really,

really good bands.

Now, when did all this happen with
Irene, I mean?

Oh, okay. Well, she, like, first came
into the picture, like, nine, no, maybe

like ten weeks ago.

Yeah.

But listen, sir, can I just ask you a
really quick question?

It's kind of important. I was just
wondering, is she like, um...

in trouble or anything like that, you
know?

What did I know of, no?

Oh, God.

Because, like, for the longest time, I
was just, like, totally mad at her, you

know what I'm saying? And then one day,
I just woke up, and I just realized out

of the blue that hate is just, like,
such bad karma. So I said to myself,

Tiffany, just be big.

So I wouldn't want anything bad to
happen to her.

Hunter, I got three more days.

Oh, hey, listen, is that fantastic?

Good for you. Sure is, yeah.

Oh, boy. Look, I have to get back to
court.

And I'd like to have you, Sweet Pea,
tell her everything you just told me,

may never do that.

Okay. And, uh, good luck to you.

Hi,

so what's your name?

Well, my name is Tiffany, but like I was
telling this tall man that's leaving

right now, my ex -boyfriend, who's a
real total, total babe, his name is Todd

Logan and everything, and he's like
working at the Cosmos Club on Pico

Boulevard, and if there was a rock
magazine for GQ guys, he would be in it,

swear to God.

Todd Logan here.

Over there.

Hot Logan?

Who wants us?

Los Angeles Metropolitan Police.

Can we talk?

Yeah, sure. Just a minute.

Please, lady, be careful. Don't even
hold it like that.

You could drop it.

Can we talk?

Yeah, yeah, just bring it down real
easy.

That's right.

Talk about what?

About Irene.

Irene?

Why didn't you say so, for God's sake?

You know, with Irene gone, this is the
only good thing I got left.

Gave me a full scare, you know?

Tell me about her.

We were together for like nine or ten
weeks.

I didn't know it was possible to feel
like that about a chick, you know?

Then one night we heard on the radio
that a girl named Irene Pilevsky's been

shot. Irene looked sort of shocked, you
know?

I told her it must have been some sort
of weird coincidence or something,

Then I went to work.

When I got home, she was gone.

Nothing left but a no.

What'd it say?

It said, I love you.

Someday I'll call and explain. Don't
forget about me.

I could forget about her, right?

Did she call?

No, but I'm waiting.

What did Irene do before she came here
to L .A.? She said she was a showgirl in

Las Vegas.

We had this chance to go to Vegas
together.

A weekend gig, all expenses paid, right?

So I tell Irene about it and she gets
all paranoid.

Says she never wants to go near there.

I asked her why and she said, don't ask.

I turned the weekend down.

Are you going to look for her?

Yeah.

When you find Irene, you tell her I
didn't forget about her.

Tell her to come home.

I'll tell her, Tom.

It's the best thing that ever happened
to me.

She was a showgirl there six months ago.
Her real name is Irene Pilevsky, but I

don't think she was using it.

Look, I'm going to send you a picture of
her with a detective Vasquez. He's

coming up in the morning with a prisoner
he's going to deliver to you guys. Do

me a favor, put a rush on it because we
think the girl's a hit target.

Yeah, thanks.

Ray?

Do me a favor. If Hunter or anybody else
calls, tell them I'll be at the

hospital. You got it.

Hunter,

this message just came in from a call
from Las Vegas PD.

Irene Pileski used the name Gloria
Boucher. Boucher disappeared six months

She can call Detective Feeney. Thank you
very much. Sure.

Hi, can I help you?

Are you Sergeant McCall?

No, I'm Sergeant Hunter. Sergeant McCall
is in my apartment.

Stacy Collins.

Stacy, how are you?

I drove all night from Vegas after the
last show.

The police called me and said that
Sergeant McCall had made an inquiry

Gloria Boucher.

Yeah.

If this is her, she's better known here
as Irene Pulaski.

That's her.

But in Vegas, she's just Gloria Boucher.

She was my roommate and closest friend
for over two years.

About six months ago, she disappeared.

No note, no call.

It was kind of like losing a sister.

I've been scared to death. If you know
what's going on with her, could you tell

me? Can I buy you a cup of coffee?

Sure. If I get some breakfast to go
along with it.

I know just the chef. Come on.

She and Todd had a pretty good thing
going until she got scared and took off

again. Thank you.

Did you talk to this Todd Logan?

I didn't personally know. My partner,
Sergeant McCall, did, though.

That's how I found out she'd been in Las
Vegas.

And that's all this Todd Logan could
tell you?

Well, he might know more, but that's all
we got for now.

Where can I find him?

Why?

Well, because people tell cops only what
cops ask.

People tell showgirls everything.

You know, you'd make a pretty good cop.

But you'd make a lousy show, girl.

Oh.

I do my homework, Dee Dee.

Now, that three -day extension I granted
you cost the county $13 ,750.

And you're no closer to finding your
Jane Doe than you were then.

But we are.

Every day that those parents don't hear
from that girl, that's another day

closer they come to reporting her
missing.

Now, every police department here and in
Canada has a physical description of

her and a copy of her dental x -rays.

Please, just extend the injunction a few
more hours. Just 48 hours, 24 hours.

But what about the cost of keeping your
Jane Doe alive?

Be practical a moment, please.

Practical? We're talking about a child.

What if the child is born with serious
defects?

People looking for babies, they want to
know what they're getting. Listen to me,

I happen to think that child's going to
be very healthy when it's born.

With a hole in its heart.

I've done my homework, too.

One out of every ten unborns has this
problem at six months.

The hole usually seals up shortly before
or right after birth.

That may be true, Dee Dee.

But the hospital won't assume
responsibility, nor will anyone else.

Byron, just listen to me for a minute,
all right?

If no one else is going to accept
responsibility for that baby, then I

Just wait a minute.

I've given this a lot of thought. I
really have.

Now I think that baby's going to be
normal, and I'm willing to take

responsibility.

Will you help me?

I'm going to protect you from yourself.

I'm going to grant you one more 24 -hour
extension.

Use the time to think it over.

After that, if you still want to do it,
I'll get the ball rolling to appoint you

her guardian.

It just seems so funny. Most women have
nine months to prepare themselves for

this.

I mean, it's virtually happening to you
overnight.

You know, what if the baby comes into
this world with a birth defect?

I know the odds. I know the
circumstances.

I know that it could happen, but to tell
you the truth, I feel inside that it

won't. I really, really do.

And even if it does, that is all the
more reason that I will need to be there

for that baby.

Well, yeah, I understand that. What I
need to know is that your decision about

this is based on fact and reality, not
on emotion and circumstance.

Well, emotion and circumstance obviously
do enter into this, but here are the

facts.

That baby needs a parent desperately.

Now, I can feel that need.

It's more as if I want to.

Now, I am moving carefully. I am moving
deliberately.

I have thought about this for a long
time.

Rick, you know I want kids.

That's something that's very important
to me.

And I feel ready.

I really do.

Let me play devil's advocate with you
here on one subject.

What if somebody steps forward and puts
a claim on that child?

Well, then I will have to deal with that
if and when it happens. But till it

does, I'm all that that baby has, and I
know it.

Can you turn my back on that?

Could you?

clear about all this, don't you?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I like you.

L56, go ahead.

L56, we have a patch through for
Sergeant Hunter.

Yeah, patching through.

Hunter, this is Stacy Collins.

Stacy, what's happening?

Real quick question. Are you having me
tailed?

No, why?

Well, somebody in a beige sedan's
following me.

Where are you right now?

I'm at my hotel, Wilshire and Oakhurst.

Well, I've got a blue Mustang
convertible.

Okay, here's what I want you to do. In
ten minutes, leave your place and drive

north on Riverside Drive.

As you come to Los Feliz, cross Los
Feliz. Go into Griffith Park. I'll pick

up there.

And once you're inside the park, make a
series of right and left -hand turns.

And we'll be able to find out who's
following you. You got that? You got it.

Ten minutes.

They can call us. Somebody's following
us.

L56? L56, go. I'd like a 1028 and 29 on
California license number 2, David

Charlie Lincoln 310.

10 -4, L56.

L56, on California license number David
Charlie Lincoln 310, a 1987 Olds

registered to ABC Auto Rental, Los
Angeles.

No wants, no warrants.

10 -4, I'll be stopping the vehicle at
Los Feliz Boulevard, northbound. L -56,

do you want a backup unit?

Negative at this time. We'll advise.

Metropolitan Police.

Get out of the car very slowly and put
your hands on the roof, please.

Hey, I'm a cop, for God's sakes. Las
Vegas PD.

My badge is in my right jacket pocket.

Where's your gun?

Left side.

Okay, Sergeant Ronco.

What are you doing following this lady?

I'm on a case. Miss Collins is involved.

What case is that?

The Strober murder in Las Vegas.

Her roommate, Gloria Boucher, was an
eyewitness.

Well, usually when a police officer from
another jurisdiction comes in to work

on one of our cases, they notify us.

I just got in town early this morning. I
didn't want to lose her. Look, I don't

know how you found me. And I'm not so
sure I want to know.

All this is making me kind of nervous. I
wonder if you or Sergeant McCall could

follow me back to my hotel.

Sure.

This is my partner, Sergeant McCall.
She'll take you to the precinct where

can meet our Captain Devane. He'll show
you our case file.

Much obliged.

Sergeant, shall we?

Hey, there's something fishy about this
guy.

Yeah, what's that?

Well, the Strober murder.

If Gloria was an eyewitness, she never
told me about it. And the police never

came around to ask either one of us any
questions.

Yeah?

Okay, come here. Here's what I want you
to do.

I want you to go back to your hotel,
check out, and check into another hotel.

You got that?

After you do, let me know where you are.

Can you keep me posted? Yes, I will.

Yeah, Las Vegas Police.

The number of the Las Vegas Police
Department?

I've been looking for you. Got a couple

Left an address.

Here it is. And that's a six.

Do me a favor, will you?

This is Detective Sergeant Nick Ronco

Show him around, will you? You got it.

I'm not going far. I'll be back before
closing time.

Sure, thanks.

It looks like the captain's in with
someone right now. I'll just check with

him. Okay.

think. You know, she wanted me to

the captain to this Vegas cop, but the
guy's not where I left him. Now listen

me very carefully.

That guy is not a cop. You got that,
Ray? He is not a cop. Now think hard.

did he go?

She left a file on her desk. It's gone.

There was a message in it that I took
for her from a Todd Logan.

Something about Irene at a house in
Malibu Canyon.

Okay, great. Now listen very carefully.
Have McCall page at the hospital, the OB

ward. Tell McCall that I talked to Vegas
police. They told me that Ronco has not

been a police officer for over six
months. You got that?

Also, give her the information you just
gave me and tell her I'm on my way to

that location, code three. Got it?

Got it.

You mean in the operating room? Sergeant
McCall, you may be the first mother

sitting by at the delivery of her own
baby.

Sergeant McCall, you have an urgent call
from your headquarters.

We start the procedure at 6 p .m. Sure.

I'll be there.

Thank you.

Yeah, this is McCall.

Yeah, I got it.

Frank, thank you.

Can I make a call from here? Sure. Down

Listen to me. Call Irene. Tell her to
get out of that house right now. You

I'll see you there.

You know this guy? The guy's name's Nick

Yeah. I saw him kill a man named
Strober.

Let's call your mother.

Is she beautiful?

She's so tiny.

Boy, she's terrific.

Oh, she's gorgeous. Look at that little
face.

She's great. Oh, she's beautiful.

What? What?

Well, I went back to the precinct. I ran
into Mike Harrison, who's at my desk.

He found Jane Doe's neck again.

We're the best, right?
