Tonight on the Sentinel.

Victim work in the research department up there.

Let's go, Romeo. We got a ticket for war in downtown.

Hey, what do you think of my image?

Cut your hair. Run for president. I'll vote for you. I don't care. Your

investigation is way off the mark. Sounds like Max was onto something

It's supposed to be Carl McQueen. That's Steve McQueen.

Two hours ago, I had a brief affair.

Sorry, Max.

Show's over.

I don't know. Just put him off. Tell him I'm at lunch.

All right, I'll handle him.

Thanks, Pete.

Ben Steele's coming up.

Vince? Are you kidding me? I love that guy. He's such a character.

More like a caricature. He doesn't realize this is real life here. No crone

damage.

Come on, didn't you ever watch Braddock's Way when you were a kid?

Way? I watched Banachek.

Banachek with George Brevard? Come on. He was smooth, he was intelligent. He

an insurance investigator that hardly qualifies as a detective show. All

well, then I take Maddox. Good with his fists, dry sense of humor. Granted,

granted, I'll give you that, but Starsky and Hutch, they had the car, right? I

mean, Maddox, I don't even know what he drove.

Starsky and Hutch were cops, not P .I .s. So?

Although I can see how Huggy Bear inspired your kid here. He ain't back

Simon, Simon, come on. What was your favorite 70s detective show?

You're kidding me, right?

Shut up.

You know who we're forgetting here? It's Beretta.

Keep forgetting about him, kid.

Dressed like a bum.

And what was it with that stupid rooster?

Well, I think it was a cockatoo, Ben. I don't care. It was a friggin'

pterodactyl. He'd kick his ass every Wednesday night.

Good. How did you get up here? I promised Duty Sergeant a couple of

passes to the Cascade Days Parade. I'm the Grand Marshal again.

Look, there's a folder in your closed case box.

Why don't you read that?

Got it, Vince.

You know, the last tip nearly cost me my badge.

You remember that, don't you, Bill?

Airport, drug deal, turned out to be baby powder.

This is different. The victim's a personal acquaintance of mine, and your

investigation is way off the mark.

Vince, it's not that we don't appreciate you. Oh, my God.

You're Bill Braddock.

That's the name. Don't wear it out.

I'm actually Vince Dean. Oh, Megan Connor, I just can't believe it's you.

We've been running forever in Sydney.

The Aussies don't dub the episodes. I lose something in Japanese.

What? How am I always in my night with Braddock's way?

Deb, before you get started, Megan is an inspector, not your skirt of the week.

An inspector?

I guess if Jim is too busy to meet with the concerned citizen, I'll just have to

file my report with you. What's that?

Yes, uh, Mr. Deal has to be one of our better informants.

I'm familiar with the dark...

Underbelly. That's what you say at the start of every show.

Careful, Connor. He's going to start whistling his theme song.

Captain Sandberg and I are going to have a bite to eat this past noon. My

underbelly's starting to growl.

Mr. Deal, if you'll follow me, I'll take down that information. I'd be delighted

to follow you. Go right ahead.

So what'll it be? A little German? How about that German place?

I can't eat there. You know that. They've got animal heads all over the

can't eat with an audience. Come on.

Uh, Charlie.

Charlie, got a Vince Deal sandwich on the menu.

What would that be? Pickled liver on rye?

Oh, come on. That's cold. That's cold.

Go easy on the guy. I mean, put yourself in his shoes. He's a big star, and now

he'd be grateful to open up a supermarket.

You know what I don't get, Chief?

Radix Way was a top ten show when the network bagged it, and Vince Deal hasn't

worked since yet.

What do you think the guy did?

Yeah.

Hey, Connor.

Want me to deal hand you a hot cake?

All right. Be there in five minutes.

Got a body on me. Looks like a homicide.

What's up, Connor?

Cause of death appears to be a gunshot wound through the heart fired at close

range. The person was found nearby while at...

This is a massive

wound.

There's blood all over her blouse and her coat here, but there's nothing on

ground. Well, she was probably shot someplace else and brought here.

It's possible, but the empty purse suggests otherwise.

Well, if the killer wanted to make it look like a botched robbery.

Excuse me.

Is he doing a sentinel bid now?

Quiet. I can't believe I told you that.

You really didn't have a choice, Sandy, but no worries. It's our secret.

Keep it that way.

They took the money but left an ID.

Mary Volker, age 28.

May I see the wallet?

That's a bit of a coincidence.

What's that?

That tip we got from Vince Diehl.

Oh, that ought to be good.

Vince knew this reporter at the Herald, Max Rogers.

Friday night they ran into each other at the Cascade Hotel bar.

Oh, yeah, at Diehl's hangout.

I think they have a drink named after him.

Fifth of Johnny Walker straight up.

That's cool, James.

Vince was sober as a judge when I talked to you. I'm interested. Go ahead.

Max Rogers intimated his life was in danger over some expose he'd written.

next day he was found dead.

An apparent suicide.

Vince thinks his friend was murdered.

Con, I know you're a big fan of Mr. Deal, but what does it have to do with

dead body?

Mary Volker also worked at the Herald.

I autographed. an 8x10 black and white for Max to a Mary.

Some chick he had a thing for her at the office.

The victim worked in the research department at the Herald. She assisted

with a lot of his articles.

Now there's your connection.

Max tumbles on a big dirty story and they want to put it under the rug.

So, what do they do?

They shove Max's head into an O 'Keefe and Merritt, snuff out the pilot light,

poof!

Sayonara, Max.

What?

Who do they still want? Who still knows, huh?

Mary Volker.

So, they have her shot.

Make her look like a phony mugger.

Max, the death was ruled a suicide and there was no sign of struggle. His blood

alcohol level was way up there and there was a note, Vince.

He put a gun to a guy's head and poured a bunch of booze down his throat. Have

him write a kiss -off letter.

That's it.

12th episode, uh, Rhapsody in Red.

Here are the crime photos.

I beg your pardon?

He asked to examine them, Captain. I couldn't see the harm.

This is exactly the way they found them?

Before forensics took over, yes.

If Max died of a snoop full of gas, who the hell turned the oven off?

I see this.

Captain, maybe we should, uh, take a look at this one.

Thank you.

Who was Max trying to nail in his article?

I don't know. I was a little smashed when I talked to him.

But he said something about fire engines, fire hydrants.

Could he have said hydrant?

Hydrant? Yeah, yeah.

Listen,

if I can be of any help... We got it from here. Thank you. Thank you very

Thank you very much.

All I've come to believe.

I guess it's better than being tossed down the back stairs.

Listen, I'm not busy. If I can be of any help, all right?

Vince, you've been a great help already.

Thanks. I kind of love the guy.

Well, I know.

Look, I'm going to have Connor go through Roger's effects and talk to his

at the Herald. In the meantime, I'm getting you a warrant. I want you to

Mary Volker's home.

I'll keep you informed, Vince.

Personally, I hope.

Any chance for dinner?

Tonight? Um, sorry.

It's the age thing.

Well, I'm still a child inside, and I'm reasonably well preserved on the

outside. No question, but I'm on the night watch.

Another time?

Another time.

Thanks, Megan.

Thank you.

Megan?

So, was he hitting on you?

More like a light tap.

Actually, I find him rather charming.

He is old enough to be your father.

Sandy, are you jealous?

Jealous? Me? No, come on. No, I mean, I'm just, I'm concerned, all right? I

don't want you falling for an image.

Really? Well, at least he has one.

Excuse me, Connor.

Let's go, Romeo. We gotta pick up a warrant downtown.

Hey, what do you think of my image?

Your image?

Be gentle.

I don't know. Cut your hair, run to the president. I'll vote for you. I don't

care.

Is that address again?

1340 Bridgewater.

Turn east on western.

Turn west on eastern?

Hmm. Hey, what's your address in the towns I worked on?

I address the security firms near the area. I've been here less than a couple

months. There's already allegations of them being involved in whether they're

protecting clients.

Like what?

Possible misuse of client info, extortion.

Simon's been trying to get a man on the inside. Defense is late. Kyle was on to

something. This investigation could get fire.

211 in progress at 1340 Bridgewater. All available units... That's Walker's

house.

Unit Echo 7 responding on our way to 1340 Bridgewater.

10 -4 Echo 7, all available units, provide backup.

Keep your eyes open. Stay close to the radio, okay?

Is he dead?

Vince, what the hell are you doing here?

I'm going to my dressing room.

Am I going to have to lock you up here or chain you up here?

What were you thinking, huh? I mean, how did you get in the house in the first

place? Just fine, thanks for asking. I found a spare key under the flowerpot.

You ever find out the name of the cold cock artist?

Vince, that's my job, all right? That is not your job nor any of your business.

If I was doing my job and my business correctly, I'd be running you downtown

I'd be booking you for interfering in a police investigation.

I just want the truth, just like you. You want the truth, Vince?

I'll give you the truth. The truth is, you keep this up, you're going to be

collecting your acting residuals from the pen.

I dial it back.

My head hurts.

Jim, let me talk to him.

Vince, you better pull it together here, buddy.

What happened in there?

Well, I was pawing through the file trying to find something of Max's

about that Hydra thing, and all of a sudden I heard the window break,

jumps down, I get clocked.

Next thing I know, there's a stiff on the carpet.

Did you find anything useful? No.

Looks like the prowler was looking for incriminating evidence.

Not necessarily.

You're losing me.

It's possible anyone Max might have confided in is at risk.

Suppose this suspect was actually tailing you and thought he'd found a

spot to do the job.

Megan's right, Vance. Look, you need some protection, just for a couple of

A safe house? Not exactly. Look, I'll be right back unless you hear some

gunfire.

I appreciate your efforts here, but I'm really just kind of an eggs and coffee

man myself.

You'll love these, believe me.

I'm trying to love it. I just wish it wasn't raw in the middle.

Mine's burnt.

Three little bears, Ben?

Got any pork chops?

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, yeah, they were right next to the whale meat, Ben.

You got a great pad here. I could fit my whole apartment into your living room.

Well, with all those residuals, I figured you'd have a big house on the

something. With ex -wives and bad investments?

Nah, I get by all right.

You know, Fitz always wanted to ask you, whatever happened to... Braddock's way?

Yeah, I get that question a lot.

Remember Linda Rydell?

Yeah, the one who... Yeah, she played your secretary.

Yeah, she's a nice girl.

We were very close.

It was May 1976, I was going to be on the Carson show, and I was in the green

room, and the phone rang, and it was Linda, and she was crying.

She just got fired.

Well, I got pissed, and then I got loaded.

A half hour later, I'm on with Johnny telling him why she got fired.

Some network VP had knocked her up, and his old lady had spiked him with it.

You know, Ben, it's not that I doubt the veracity of your story here, but I

watched Carson all the time. I don't remember that. Well, my segment got cut,

and the lawyers got on the phone, and that was it.

Well, now we have David.

Listen, could you drop me at the city hall?

I've got a parade commission meeting it's going to take all day.

All right, Vince.

We have a security detachment there.

I'll drop you off, I'll pick you up, but I want you to stay in the building.

Right.

Well, not bad.

Agra Security is run by R .J. Shannon, a former FBI agent.

Now, her partner is another ex -Fed, John Bentley.

The man you shot was Eddie Carpenter. He graduated from Quantico with Bentley,

but there's no indication he ever went into law enforcement.

You don't graduate Quantico and not become a Fed.

Unless you've got a better future as a hitman.

Exactly. Now, there's another guy on the payroll.

Joey Trillo is listed as a consultant. Must be Coleman. But he was the suspect

in a kidnap case a couple of years ago.

San Diego police couldn't find enough evidence on him, so Trillo walked.

Sounds like Max was onto something nasty then, wasn't he?

Simon, I gotta get inside somehow.

Way ahead of you, Jim.

Connor, would you like to show Detective Ellison the background we drew up?

We think you'll make an attractive candidate for Hydra's employment role.

So after six months in the squad room, I left Portland and moved up here.

A lot of our recruits come from law enforcement.

We're always happy to have trained officers.

Why exactly did you leave the Portland PD, Carl?

You're going to find out anyway if you check.

A guy died in custody.

Got a little out of hand in the interrogation room, you know what I

I didn't lay a hand on him.

They dismissed me and ended my back pay and pension.

I'm going to do a good job for you, Miss Shannon.

I just want a shot.

We'll start you out in home protection.

Marika.

If things work out, there are always opportunities for advancement.

I won't let you down, ma 'am.

Marika, this is Carl McQueen, our new security officer.

Hello. Pleasure.

Certainly.

After you finish your paperwork, Carl, we'll get you fitted for a uniform.

We'll also provide you with a firearm and training at our private shooting

down on Parker Street.

So you work in the personnel department?

No, I'm a bodyguard.

Oh.

Over there is where the bookkeeping is done.

Downstairs is the computer room. Unless you have authorized business down there,

consider it off -limits, all right?

And upstairs is our publicity section.

I've seen your commercials.

Only even security firms have to advertise.

I'm Vince Deal.

As private eye of Bill Paddock, I learned a thing or two about fighting

The question is private protection.

My friends at Hydra Security have the answer.

Got any pork chops?

Yeah, it's right next to the whale meat, Vin.

autograph, Mr. Deal?

You lied to me, Vince. I wasn't lying. I was acting.

My truck is parked around the corner. You meet me there in two minutes or

going to wish your stuntman was with you.

I never used a stuntman.

Celebrity spokesman?

I pitched it to R .J. and she bought it on the spot.

Now, you can't be a star if you can't sell yourself.

Vince, did it ever occur to you that Hydra might suspect that Max filled you

and they want to keep you close?

Perfect.

The hunted becomes the hunter.

Vince, I want you to call Shannon right now and back out of that commercial.

I already signed the papers, and besides, if I ankle now, they'll just

radar up.

He's right.

I'm open to suggestions here. Captain, we've got to scrap this whole thing

now. It's ludicrous if you ask me.

Don't either of you wonder how I scored a nugget?

A nugget, you say?

Yeah. You have to know one of the girls in the computer room turned on the old

charm. You could take a cue from me on that, Jim.

I sent her out to fetch me a Danish.

Meanwhile, I copied a list of all the access codes.

Where's the list, Vince?

Up here.

But I can conveniently forget it if you don't let me play this out to the freeze

frame.

Hey, Vince, it's time for you to wake up and smell reality here, buddy.

Look, you know, when I came back to Cascade with my tail between my legs,

Rogers was the only reporter who'd interview me.

He helped me keep it together, and I owe him for that.

Okay, Vince.

Jim, tomorrow I want you to get those codes, but you stay close to this man.

First sign of trouble, I'm pulling you both out.

Is that right? Yeah, that's good.

Reminds me of Mission Impossible.

I was up for the Marty Landau role and my agent yanked me.

Thought it would be a flop.

Somebody's coming.

I don't hear anybody. Let's just try to find a place to hide a little bit.

Where?

What are you doing in here?

I'm absorbing.

Absorbing? Yes, you see, I'm a method actor like Brando and Hoffman.

I have to... We live the part.

I have to feel Hydra, so I have to spend some time in each department.

Ma 'am, I saw Mr. Deal in the restricted area, and I felt obliged to escort him

out. I suggest you do so.

It won't happen again.

Mr. Deal, publicity would like to shoot your spot tomorrow at noon.

Will you be ready?

Absolutely. You know, I had a thought.

I'd like to have a Hydra security guy in a uniform, you know, kind of in the

background, with like a spotlight on him, kind of dressed to set.

I think Carl here would be perfect, don't you? I mean, he's very photogenic.

I'll discuss it with John.

Mr. Deal, I'm sure Miss Shannon has some work to do.

Please.

I apologize, ma 'am.

This won't happen again.

Vince.

Vince, what is this about you making me your co -star? Well, you're supposed to

stay close, right? Well, let them think it's their idea.

Vince, will you hit on your head as a child?

I can't be in a commercial.

You've got to flop this way. Listen, I'll teach you some breathing exercise

make you relax. All right, now try this.

Here's a list of some of their biggest clients, but each of them has two

accounts. One for Hydra's legitimate books and a second larger payment into a

number of offshore banks.

So the money's being laundered.

But for what purpose?

All of these clients are wealthy, some quite prominent.

Ah. That's the classic formula for blackmail and extortion.

Not bad, Vince.

Episode 62?

No, no, no.

Requiem for a stool pigeon.

I was supposed to protect this witness, and he got in my hair, but eventually he

helped me solve the case.

You know, if we approach anyone on this lift, chances are Hydra's gonna find

out, and so we'll have to nail him ourselves.

Catch him in the act.

Now, Vince and I are gonna stay under. I want you two to get with Simon, all

right?

I have to find a way to bait the hawk.

My husband and I moved to Cascade last year from Melbourne.

Thank you.

Charles is consulting for a Russian ore company in the Urals.

But he'll be coming back any day.

I need my situation handled immediately.

Please have a seat.

What is your situation?

Two months ago, I had a brief affair.

He's an artist.

Anthony Drake.

I've ended it, but he's been following me.

He's threatening to tell my husband.

I don't want to destroy my marriage over this.

Do you think this man's dangerous?

He's young. He has a temper.

Marika, could you come in here a minute, please?

Right away.

We'll start with 24 -hour armed detection.

Whatever you say.

Marika, this is Mrs. Somerset.

Marika will be your bodyguard.

We like to assign her to female clients.

A lady with a gun.

Imagine that.

I'll take you to the contract office, Ms. Somerville.

Tell Marika to tape all her conversations with Mrs. Somerset. Then

boyfriend shows up, we'll use it.

Carl, why aren't you in the wardrobe? We're doing this at an hour.

I'll do a deep background check on her. If there's anything there, we'll use it.

Okay.

Yeah.

Thanks, Mike.

What's up?

Dealer McQueen showing up on the same day was suspect enough, but that

in the computer room got my alarm bells going.

I asked internal security to review all the tapes since those two arrived.

There's more.

The piece that hanged them.

You're supposed to stay close. Make them think it was their idea. I can't be in

a commercial.

I want you to relax.

Damn

it,

John. We should have killed Dale the minute he walked through that door. It

worth it to play it out.

Now I know Rogers didn't tell him anything.

Deal was just fishing around for scraps.

Yeah, but McQueen might be a cop.

We have to find out a big flat... We will.

I put Joey Trillow on it.

433, there's the soundstage.

Vince, I don't mean to get personal here, but are you wearing makeup?

Of course.

I've got to even out my skin tone for the camera.

What do you think this was, an ascot?

I've got my makeup kit there if you want to try some pancake.

Well, thank you. I've had your pancakes.

I'd mock me if you will, but some casting director could be looking in at

commercial and hire you for something else.

Oh, isn't that exciting, spending time with a casting director, huh, Vince?

I don't know how to put this right now, but I'm a cop. See, a real cop. You're

an actor.

If you get shot in there, you can't just wipe off the phage blood and ask for a

second take. You follow?

Hey, that is my name.

My character.

Maybe we're early.

Like it's just like the office in my old show.

Mr. Deal!

Where's the crew?

We're it.

Oh. You're not in union, huh?

That's why I do my own makeup.

Yeah, whatever.

When do you start shooting?

When I say action.

Two months ago, I had a brief affair.

Give my partner your weapon. Don't be cute.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy. I'm not packing. Good check.

I'm going to ask you some questions.

And if I hear the right answers, maybe I won't blow a hole in your throat.

Depends what's going on here.

My husband's given me status and security, but he's a great deal older.

There's just no person anymore.

Anthony made me feel alive again, but I just don't know what to do.

Well, don't do anything.

You can have it both ways.

But Charles would never listen.

In my experience, we usually find out that the husband's been unfaithful too.

Just think about what you need.

Expecting someone?

No.

Who is it?

Olivia, it's Anthony.

Oh, my God.

Tell him to go.

No, let him in. But stay close.

Olivia, I just came to... Who are you?

It's with this gun. What's going on?

She's from a security firm.

I warned you not to come here.

Come on, you didn't really think I would hurt you, did you?

You already have.

I was out of my mind when I wrote those letters. Don't you know that I love you?

A lady doesn't want you here.

It's all right, Marika.

Give us a moment.

I'll call if I need you.

Why can't you and I just be alone? Why can't you just leave Charles?

None of that matters now. Let's not waste the time we have.

How long do we have to keep this up?

Well, I don't imagine Anthony's the talk of his time.

What do you think of my outfit?

Well, Trill is already called a lawyer, Captain. We're not going to get anything

out of that. Yeah, one of Hydra's lawyers, I'm sure.

I guess that means your cover's rolled to hell.

At least Connor holding the bait.

You know, if Shannon took up her guard, those two are going to be left out in

the wind.

You must explain to me why Sandberg was necessary. Captain, that... Now, Connor

should be checking in with her backup soon. I'll have Rafe bring her up to

speed.

In the meantime, if anything looks taking off, just pull him and cut our

How's the deal taking off?

Like an actor in Blue's Comeback.

Yeah, and you're sure Ray and Trillo didn't give us up?

Okay, well, do what you can.

What's going on?

They're being held without bail.

McQueen's real name is Ellison.

He's a detective with the Major Crimes Unit.

It gets worse.

And society paid for the Melbourne Daily, winding into near Charles

his lovely wife, Olivia.

Thought you might like a real cup of joe.

I don't want to be any more awake than I am, thank you.

Oh, come on, Vince. I don't ever recall Braddock reading his hands over some

case. Braddock would never run off.

He would have punched his way out.

And Jim is right.

If it weren't for reruns, there'd be nothing but a has -been waiting for the

in the black hood to clock me out.

Look, come on.

Things change.

I mean, we're both getting along.

No, no, no.

Believe me, I've had enough for one day. Thank you.

All right.

I'll get somebody to take you home.

You know, we've been quiet for quite some time now. Maybe you should scream

something.

Me? What makes you think Anthony's that talented? I think he should scream.

Me? I definitely think Anthony can make you scream.

What's wrong?

You bit my lip when you kissed me out there.

Yeah? I don't know. I'm just trying to make it convincing.

Well, I'd say you did.

I think another five minutes ought to do it.

Why don't you let it be quiet, Andy?

Marika! Mr. Bentley, this is outrageous! Shut up!

Nine mil.

Copy.

Get up.

Call Shannon. Tell her to meet us in Parker Street.

Remember the last episode of Radek's Wave?

Yeah, the cliffhanger. It was supposed to be continued next season. There

any next season.

Radek was framed, stripped of his license, back on the bottle.

That's where my big mouth left him. twisting and everything.

Yeah, my mouth's gotten in the way a couple times too, Vince.

Sandberg and Conner's backup hasn't answered yet.

Should have checked in.

We'll take a cruise by to that apartment.

Have your backup?

Yeah.

What happened?

Someone attacked me.

Oh, God. I never even saw it coming.

You hurt anywhere else?

I'm okay. All right.

Hey, call 911. Get some squad cars over here.

Just hang in there.

Parker Street mentioned on the playback.

Hydra's got a pistol range there, so I'm on my way. I'll meet you there, okay,

Simon?

Vince, you stay here. This is a disaster.

I mean, they made this thing because I horned in.

Vince, please.

It takes more than just you to screw something up, okay? It's not your fault.

Sir, it's a police vehicle.

Son, do you know who I am?

Well, you do sort of look familiar.

I'm Lieutenant Vincent, Ellison's partner.

Does he mind if I back his ass up?

Excuse me.

You've made a grave mistake, Mr. Bentley.

My husband's a very powerful man when he... I already called your husband in

Melbourne, so you can drop the act any time. Look, we know you're cops.

Now all we need to know is how much the police have on us.

This doesn't make sense.

I'm an artist.

She's an unhappy wife married to a man that doesn't have time for her anymore.

Where's the crime in that, man?

Charles put you up to this, didn't he?

To scare Anthony off.

Not a bad grouping.

Wonder what kind of damage it would do from this rank.

So who are your influences, huh?

Turner?

Maybe, uh, Monet?

About what do you think?

Well, actually, I'm into the abstract expressions.

Stop.

I'll talk.

Just put down the gun.

Who are you?

Inspector Connor with the Major Crimes Unit.

But he's not a cop.

Just a civilian consultant.

Let him go and I'll give you the rest.

Nice try, Megan.

I'm Detective Jim Ellison.

She's just a local actress and not doing a very good job, I might add. I'll let

you know.

What you want to know, you just let her walk.

Why don't you guys get your stories straight?

I happen to know the real Jim Ellison is... Right behind you, pal.

Don't move.

Put your gun at your feet.

Really slow.

That's right. Now kick it over.
