The department is being paralyzed by
press demands for information on this

I have friends in Washington who are
just as anxious to find DePaul as you

Why is Washington interested in this
guy?

I think he never got

what he wanted from her.

And I think he killed her.

Stick to the contract.

or be terminated. Murder is my business.

In part one of Naked Justice.

I can do it as you want.

Nice weekend.

Here is a special news release.

Fame film star Shannon Richards has been
found dead in Elysian Park.

Shannon Richards.

The remainder of the money is due now.

Wire to my account in London.

So what's the call?

Murder. Forced overdose.

Well, Philip DePaul went to the Jaguar
at the airport the night that Shannon

Richards was murdered.

We later found that car parked illegally
on Oakmont Place in Beverly Hills.

So, from illegal parking to murder,
that's a giant step.

It's just a matter of time before the
cops show up with a lot of questions.

Yes, that's very true.

Is that your blue Jaguar downstairs?

Yeah, as a matter of fact, it is.

Well, if I gotta pick one, I'd say it's,
uh...

That guy right there, second from the
end.

No one comes to my house and threatens
me, especially a cheap dime store.

What is it? There are two police
officers outside. They want to talk to

Mr. Rondino, did you have any insurance
on Shannon Richards?

George, give her the figures.

$15 million for the term of the shoot.
It's fairly standard.

Do you know if Miss Richards had any
family?

Yes, she did.

Oh, what are you doing here?

I own this house.

Or at least I will when my sister's will
is probated.

I need a secure line.

You've had an inquiry on 3704?

Yes. What was the nature of the inquiry?

Information on Philip DePaul.

Inquirer's name, if known?

Sergeant Dee Dee McCall, Los Angeles
Police.

Through SI agent Bradley Wilk, same
city.

Thank you for calling, Desert Flower.

Viking will be in touch.

And now, Naked Justice, Part 2.

Roger, Air Six. Sewer King is in place.

Roger, Sewer King.

Primary is a block north. Still
southbound.

Sewer King, this is TV Man.

We'll take the point as soon as Humpty
Dumpty's on the wall.

Roger, TV Man.

Super King's got an eyeball on him. You
know, all that guy has done is drive to

and from the studio for the last two
days.

Can't be on the level.

Rondino's just laying low till the dust
settles, that's all.

Okay, TV man, Humpty Dumpty's on the
wall.

Roger, good buddy. Put the pedal to the
metal and aim it at the barn.

TV man and Captain America are on the
scene. I think Parker's been watching

many Saturday morning cartoons.

Sir King, this is home base.

Go ahead, home base. I got a message for
you from Miss Meg Siebert. She'd like

to meet you sometime this evening. She
left her number.

Thanks, Ambrose. Call her back. Get a
place and time to meet her, and I'll get

there as soon as I can.

I'll bet you will.

Yeah? Why's that?

You're looking at one angry woman,
Sergeant Hunter.

And I'm scared.

For six years, I've been Tony Rondino's
secretary in the daytime and his whore

at night.

And, uh... He says we forget it.

How long ago was that?

Seven weeks.

Seven weeks ago, and you're still
working for the guy?

Jobs aren't a dime a dozen.

And I decided I'd just wait her out.

Excuse me.

Waitress, could I have a double vodka on
the right, please?

Wait who out?

Shannon Richards.

The minute she came on the scene, he
started acting like a 16 -year -old. He

everything but get at me.

I think she never gave him what he
wanted, and I think he killed her.

And why do you think that?

Five days before she was murdered.

Shannon came into the office for a
meeting with Tony and George Franklin.

It was about 7 o 'clock. She'd just
finished shooting. Hadn't even taken her

makeup off yet.

They went at it hot and heavy, Tony and
Shannon, yelling at the top of their

lungs. I couldn't tell what the argument
was about.

The walls to his office are really
thick, but it went on for about an hour.

Then Shannon stormed out and sailed past
me without a word.

Well, didn't you guess, Ron, do you know
what the argument was about?

No.

Tony and George stayed in the office for
about another hour. A couple of times,

Tony yelled at George.

Then they left together and told me I
could go home. When Tony came in the

morning, I said to him, honeymoon's
over, huh?

He looked at me like he could kill me on
the spot.

And he said, if you ever open your mouth
to anybody about last night's meeting,

you're dead meat. You got that? Four
days later.

Shannon Richards is dead.

And you think Tony killed Shannon?

I know he did.

He got drunk one night and told me how
he once beat a man to death when he

worked for one of the casinos in Vegas.

Wait a minute here, Meg.

Why would Tony want Shannon dead?
Doesn't he stand to lose a lot of money?

What's the matter with you guys?

You're always willing to jump on the
theory of the woman scorned.

Well, what about the man scorned?
Tony...

Probably never had a problem with a
woman in his whole life till he met

Richards.

Do you know what he said to me?

He told me I was history.

The flame is out.

Can you believe that?

I gave him six of the best years I'll
probably ever give anybody.

And he tells me the flame is out.

Is there anybody else that you can think
of that can corroborate the fact that

Tony was in love with Shannon Richards?

I mean, this is all very new to me. Why
don't you try talking with the other

poor slob who couldn't make it with
Shannon?

Who's that?

Walter Ortiz.

That's it.

Last time I saw her, last you see to
fill my shot of her.

I'll never be seen.

Maid Siebert says you were in love with
Shannon.

I fall in love with all my leading
ladies.

Makes the job easier.

A lot more fun and easier.

Who killed her?

How the hell would I know?

I understand Tony Rondino was in love
with Shannon as well.

Makes Siebert again, right?

Rondino.

Maybe he had the hots for Shannon.

What the hell did she want with him?

I'll tell you something.

And this is on the best possible
authority. Shannon Richards herself.

Absolutely nothing happened between
them.

Nothing. What about you?

That's none of your damn business.

Explain something to you.

Murder is my business.

Now, you want me to read you your
rights?

Okay.

Okay.

I was in love with her.

I didn't kill her.

Did you have a piece of this film?

Yes, sir.

So what?

You want to know what was in it for me?
Is that what this is? Yeah. Is that what

this is? Yeah.

Okay.

Three percent.

Three percent up to break even. Six
percent after that.

And I'm talking gross, not profit.

Was this going to be a successful film?

Yeah, it was going to be.

50 million, 100 million.

The day Rondino signed Shannon, the
picture was a guaranteed success.

And what would prevent that?

Her death.

Hey, babe, it's me.

I got some bad news.

I won't be seeing you tonight.

Why not?

I just found out the cops are digging
through every square inch of my life.

What are they doing that for?

They haven't found your sister's killer
yet, and they're looking for somebody

convenient to hang a murder wrap on. But
you haven't done anything.

I know, but the cops are getting
desperate.

Listen, until this thing blows over, I
think we should play it cool.

How long will that be?

I don't know.

I don't know. Let's play it one day at a
time.

Jesse, I miss seeing you.

You think I don't feel the same way?

I just don't want people to get the
wrong idea about us, that's all.

All right, Jesse.

Whatever you think is best. Don't worry.

Everything's going to be fine.

Trust me.

I love you. I'll see you soon. I love
you, too.

Hi. We look lovely tonight.

May I show you to your table?

Bradley, I'm going to kill you. What?

I would have thought that after our last
get -together, you would have picked a

place that had a little bit more...
connage. Well, Edie, my dad once told

Brad, don't put your money in a bank
that doesn't pay interest.

As special as meatloaf. You want to see
a menu?

Two coffees.

That's it? That's it.

It ain't going to get better later,
honey.

Dump them.

Well, you heard the lady, Brad.

What? What does that mean? You don't
want to see the pictures of DuPont?

Do you have them?

The special meatloaf?

Forgive. That sounds like something I
should be saying.

Bradley, if you don't give me those
pictures, I'm going to tell the waitress

that you want more than just her
meatloaf.

Ah, right.

I give these to you with the condition
that if you find a Paul, you call me

immediately.

Come on, Brad. I can't promise that.

No, it's a two -way street, Dee Dee. I
have friends in Washington who are as

anxious to find a Paul as you are. Now,
if they find him first, they'll call

you. Why is Washington interested in
this guy?

That's not part of this deal.

This is part of this deal. You find a
Paul, you call me. I've got to have your

word on that.

I don't like the term, but we have a
deal.

Yes.

Tell them I'll have a statement for them
in one hour.

And hold all my calls.

The department is being paralyzed by
press demands for information on this

Now, I want to know what we've got. I
want it brief and simple. We've got

Caulfield, who apparently saw the
killer.

And we've got photographs of this Philip
DePaul who may be that killer.

Well, did anyone show these pictures to
the witness?

We're having a little trouble finding
him.

We've got a high -priority look on this
thing, but he's a vagrant, so he's got

no known address, no associates.

We'll find him. Who is this guy, this
DePaul?

He's a Bulgarian, a .k .a. Stefan Avak.
He's defected and he's currently living

in London, but no one has seen him there
for at least a week. And we think he's

probably a professional killer.

His current whereabouts are unknown, but
he was definitely in Los Angeles the

night that Shannon Richards was killed.
And you connected this guy with Tony

Rondino, the producer?

Only circumstantially, Chief. No one's
actually seen him together. The only one

that would benefit by Shannon's death is
her sister, Diana Cross. Now, she's

presently hooked up with a private
detective by the name of Jesse Cruz.

Is this Cruz a suspect?

In my opinion, yes, sir. Well, if you
think he's a suspect, what are you doing

about it? Well, we presently have him
under surveillance.

R &I is doing a complete and thorough
check on his background.

How much does this sister, Diana Cross,
how big is the estate?

They're saying $10 million, but it's a
hell of a lot more than that. And we've

got a suspect, right?

With the best possible motive there is,
greed.

And this Cruz might be involved with
her, right? Yes.

But we cannot overlook the Hollywood
angle, Chief, which tends to lead us

from the sister.

Now, this Shannon Richards, her personal
manager, Monty Golden, was also

murdered. Five days before Shannon's
death, she had an hour -long shouting

with both of her producers.

We have both of them under surveillance.

So something was going on there. Come
on, we're not sitting around on our

on this thing.

I know, Charlie.

You're doing the best you can.

Unfortunately, that's not something we
can put on the 6 o 'clock news.

Get back to work.

I'll try to come up with something to
keep them off our backs for another 12

hours.

You know, if we took a number of
southbound BMWs or Mercedes and divided

the number of northbound Bentleys,
we'd... Hey, check it out.

Tim. Ziva 32 to L90.

L90 here. Go ahead, 32.

L90, advise Hunter the man he's looking
for just showed up. Roger, 32. Stand by.

Hunter, for you. Parker, he's got
something for you.

Talk to me, Parker.

Philip DePaul just drove up.

Now, he's left his car on the street,
and he said it's on the back of the

If he tries to move before I get there,
nail him. I'm on my way.

Thank you.

Scrambled eggs, just the way you like
them, and lots of hot coffee. Thank you

very much.

There he is.

Let's take him down.

Don't wait.

Oh, damn.

We've got to let him move.

Red light up ahead. We'll take them
there.

Out of the car, please.

CMW.

Roger, 6 Adam 17, Lincoln 55.

What have you got?

A woman in apartment 212 says she saw
her Toyota being driven away, and when

got here, we found this vehicle
abandoned.

All right, put an APB out on the Toyota.
The driver's wanted on a 187.

And hold this part for Prince.

I know this is a tough time for you,
Parker, but I need your help.

That the guy you saw?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's important.

Pardon me, gentlemen.

I'm sorry.

Your friend died in surgery.

Yeah. Sir, the liaison officer has a
priority intercept. He feels you should

immediately. All right, send him in.

This guy just came in.

You'd want to see it. The pilot killed a
police officer.

OAPD just put out a nationwide APB on
him. They're pulling out all the stops

this one.

Yeah,

get me a secure line to Washington.

Yo, Hunter, McCall. I got something for
you here.

Air 6 spotted an abandoned car near the
Robertson on -ramp to the Santa Monica

freeway. Patrol checked it out. Stolen
Toyota.

Who bought DePaul?

A man matching DePaul's description
rented a late 70s model dark blue

from Dash rent -a -car.

That was eight blocks from where the
Toyota was found. He used a national

card under the name of Miro Gancha.

And he had an accent.

Here. Here's the credit card number.

Where's Parker?

He's gone. What do you mean, he's gone?

He walked into Charlie's office and
turned his badge in.

I guess Flood's death hurt him pretty
bad.

I'll have National for the 310th
priority, Anna.

Where are you going?

Planning a trip, Parker?

Going home.

A little early to make that decision,
isn't it? I'm not making a decision now.

made it when that doctor walked out of
the emergency room and told me my

was dead.

You're not going to be happy if you walk
away.

Being here sure as hell hasn't made me
happy.

I've been waiting on it.

A sense of accomplishment.

A thank you from some citizen you just
laid your butt on the line for.

Justice in court.

I've been waiting on it almost eight
years now.

The only good thing about this job died
today.

Damn! I just can't cut it.

It just isn't here I wanted it to be. I
wanted it to be the best damn cop in the

city, but it just isn't here.

You think you got the market cornered on
that feeling, Parker?

You don't think I've had my belly full
at times?

I'm not going to let DePaul get away
with what he did.

Yeah?

Were you the cop that was with Len when
he was killed? No, I wasn't, Parker.

That was you.

I wonder if Flood would have quit had
you been killed.

I wonder if he'd have walked away and
quit.

I think Flood was a pretty damn good
cop. Maybe on his way to becoming a

cop.

I feel that way about you, Parker.

Exactly that way about you.

I need you to help me get to Paul.

Just till we're back to Paul.

Just till we're back to Paul.

Lincoln 56, I have Sergeant McCall on
the line for you.

Lincoln 5 -6, go.

National came through.

Three hours and 40 minutes after Miro
Goncha rented that Cadillac at 140, to

exact. Good work, McCall. See you in a
couple days.

Don't go down there. Let the Federales
pick him up.

I can't trust them to do the job,
McCall. What about Harry Caulfield?

No, nothing.

Okay, I think you better go ahead and
pick up George Franklin.

I'd like to have him in custody by the
time I get back from Ensenada.

What would you suggest I tell the
captain?

Not a thing. I'll see you in a couple
days. Lincoln 5 -6 out.

Hunter, you want me to go with you?

Nope. I want you to get suited up. Go
down and give McCall a hand. She'll need

all the help she can get.

¿Cómo está mi amigo?

Bien, señor.

¿Habla inglés?

Sí, señor.

Has an American by the name of Miro
Gonchov checked in here today?

Sí, sí. I took Señor Gonchov to room
106, but he's not there now. I saw him

leave.

Are you familiar with our President
Jackson?

Sí, el President Jackson?

Sí. He'd like to know where Miro Gonchov
can be found.

I find out, señor.

Drop the gun, DePaul.

Impressive credentials, Senor Anderson.

A very important man.

But these do not explain what the
witnesses saw.

You see, according to them, it is you
who fired at and killed Senor DePaul.

You bet I did.

It's obvious this man DePaul was about
to shoot Mr. Hunter.

Just seconds before that, he was driving
right at him with full intent to kill.

And in self -defense, Mr. Hunter fired
at the car to stop him.

And you have never met Senor Hunter?

Never. I just did what I thought I had
to do.

It's obvious DePaul was a madman.

Or a killer.

Well, I cannot make a decision on this
matter.

We will go to Secretary Diaz's office.

Only he has the authority to dispose of
this.

If you will get into my car.

I want to know why you shot DePaul.

The man had a gun in his hand. So did I,
Anderson. It was aimed right at him.

Help me out here, Brad.

Excuse me, Jim.

Jim, you want to get in the car?

Hunter?

Give the guy a break. He can't answer
these questions and you don't need to

know. DePaul is a suspect in a murder in
Los Angeles, Brad. I came down here to

bring him back alive.

You're in my life again, aren't you?

Okay, okay, whatever I tell you, you
don't repeat to anybody.

Yeah.

DePaul defected from the Bulgarian
secret police.

He was recruited by a certain U .S.
agency. He was trained to do special

A couple of years ago, he started doing
freelance work.

The agency found out about it. They
offered him a choice.

Either stick to the contract or be
terminated.

This is another one of those cases,
isn't it?

In my opinion, Anderson had ample reason
to believe that you were in danger of

being blown away. The guy had already
tried to run you down.

You owe me a suspect, man.

You just got a report that DePaul's
dead. Is that true?

Yeah, that's true.

Brad Wilkes showed up.

What is this, another cloak and dagger
special?

It looks that way. We got Franklin?

Yeah, Charlie has an interrogation room
seat.

Now, look, Mr. Franklin.

You agreed to make a statement in this
case.

Now, are you going to make it or not?

I'm glad to see the two of you. Mr.
Franklin here can't make up his mind

he wants to help us or not. Maybe you
got a couple of questions you can ask

I got a couple for you, Mr. Franklin.

Five days before Shannon Richards was
murdered, she had a argument with you

Tony Rondino. You want to tell me what
that was about?

I'm not going to answer that.

I believe your First Amendment gives me
that right.

The Fifth.

The Fifth Amendment gives you that
right, Mr. Franklin.

Three days before Shannon Richards was
murdered, a phone call from your office

was made to London to a Philip DePaul.

Want to explain that?

No, I know nothing about that phone call
or who Philip de Paul is.

Book him for murder.

When?

Shannon Richardson agreed to make a film
for us based on a script

that required her to be...

nude or partially nude in seven key
scenes.

Now, that night, she told us that there
was nothing about nudity in her contract

and that she had decided not to do any
nude or semi -nude scenes.

What would have happened if she hadn't
done the nudity?

We'd have been bankrupt.

She couldn't get it through her head
that without nudity she was nothing.

What happened after Shannon left your
office?

Tony Rondino started calling her a
deadbeat. He started screaming that he

how to handle deadbeats.

Meaning what?

He was going to kill her.

He said it wouldn't be the first time
that he killed someone. I tried to talk

him out of it, but he kept on going on
about our insurance policy for Shannon.

He kept on saying that she deserved...

to get hit and that the 15 million would
leave us with five or six million in

the bank.

But when it was found that Shannon was
dead, Tony swore to me that he had

nothing to do with it.

Did Monty Golder know about Shannon's
decision?

Oh, yes.

Yes, Tony tried to buy him off, but
Monty wanted too much, so...

Then he threatened to go to the police
and...

Tony killed him.

And then DePaul killed Tony Rondino.

Why?

I don't know.

Really.

I do not know.

Mr. Franklin, after Tony Rondino killed
Monty Golden, didn't you think that

maybe Tony had gone over the edge a
little bit?

Yes, I did.

That's when you hired Philip DePaul to
kill Tony, isn't that right?

Of course I didn't. I don't kill people
or have them killed. All I'm guilty of

is not reporting that Tony killed Monty
Golden.

You have anything to add to this?

No, that's all I know, so help me God.

Mr. Franklin, you can go.

I can go? Just get up and leave?

Private citizens are not required to
report felonies.

I think you hired DePaul to kill Tony
Rondino.

We haven't got the evidence yet to book
you.

But if you attempt to leave the country
or even the county, you'll be arrested

and booked for murder.

All right, you can go.

Will?

Now we know the whys and wherefores, but
we're going to have a hell of a time

proving any of this.

We don't have the answer yet, Charlie.

What are you talking about?

Charlie, DePaul was a pro.

Oh, look, whoever killed Shannon
Richards was an amateur.

What reason would DePaul have to kill
Tony Rondino? DePaul wanted to be paid

Rondino, regardless if he made the hit
or not.

Tony wouldn't pay him.

DePaul murdered him.

Who is it?

Sergeant Hunter.

I'm sorry to disturb you at this hour of
the evening, but I need to talk to him.

Who's Jesse?

Jesse? Jesse Cruz.

Why would he be here?

Why not? You're married to him, aren't
you?

See, Diana, you married Jesse about the
seventh of this month, eight days before

your sister was murdered.

All right.

Jesse and I are married.

Is there something wrong with that?

No, not at all.

But why keep it a secret?

Jesse was afraid that his ex -wife might
make trouble for him. He wanted to wait

until things settled down. Which ex
-wife was he concerned with, Diana? He's

three of them.

I don't believe anything you're saying.

Well, you should.

How long after you hired Jesse did he
actually find your sister?

I don't know.

Three weeks or so?

Three weeks or so? Do you know how long
it takes a good private investigator to

find a movie star like Shannon? About 20
minutes.

I want you to leave.

Jesse smelled a good thing.

You know he didn't have any parents.
Knew Shannon was single.

If anything ever happened to Shannon,
you'd become a very wealthy woman. So he

turned up the charm and married you.

Shortly after that, he found Shannon.

And then he killed her.

Just make one move that I don't like,
Sergeant, and you're dead.

Now you take off that jacket real slow.

Come on!

Okay, baby.

Now you can get his gun with no problem.
Just don't get too close to him. Diana,

he murdered your sister! Shut up!

Shut up!

Now, come on, baby, do it.

Come on, don't blow this thing for us
now. Come on.

Jesse, did you kill my sister? Come on,
what's the matter with you?

You remember what you said to me
yesterday? You were the happiest,

woman in the whole wide world. Do you
remember that?

You want to keep it that way? Do what
I'm telling you.

Trust me!

I think we've heard enough, don't you?

Jesse, don't do anything stupid.

Give me the gun, Jesse, very slowly, but
first.

You haven't seen Parker, have you?

No, I haven't. I thought you said that
you talked him into staying around.

Well, I did, but he said he'd only stick
around until he found DePaul.

All right, to my accomplishment, the
senator, the mayor, the chief of police.

This country belongs to the common man.
That's me.

I knew the minute I laid eyes on you,
I'd be sorry.

Harry, where you been? Been looking for
you. I've been hiding. That's where I've

been. I heard you were looking for me.

I have been. All over the place. Good
work, Parker.

Why don't you identify this picture for
me?

Was this the guy you saw pulling the
body out of the Jaguar in the park?

Nah.

Never saw him in my life.

Oh, good.

That's it.

That's all?

That's all.

You know, Harry, you look like you could
use a good meal.

Why don't you join us for lunch? What do
you say?

I think I could fit that into my
schedule.

Parker, I assume you'll be sticking
around.

Well, under one condition, Sergeant.

What's that?

That you let me pick up the tab for
lunch.

What do you say? How about we get a
little Italian food?

With steak?

With a stake?

Okay, with a stake is good. Red one.
