the ad in the "Times."

You're kidding.

Nope.

It's a lady, a
very pregnant lady.

Her name is Linda Fowler,and she's waiting outside.

Well, what does she want?

I don't know.

That's what you're
supposed to ask her.

Hey, don't you think Iknow what I'm doing here?

I mean, it's not
like we've never

had an outside client before.

We've never had an
outside client before.

We know this because thecounty calls us every Friday

and reminds us.

What about Billy Harrison?

The six-year-old with a buckand a quarter and a lost dog?

Hey.

I-- I still found the dog.

Ooh.

I'll call the stockholders.

Every business starts
with a first dollar.

Every business.

So, what can I do for you?

I'd like you to find thebum who got me pregnant.

You know how sometimes you meeta person and he's gorgeous,

and you've just gotten
out of a relationship.

And the next thing you knowthe sparks start flying.

Yeah.

I know what you mean.

His name is Raul Santiago.

I have this picture of him.

We met at Gilbert's.

- The singles bar?
- Yeah.

The one in the marina.

Guess I should've known whatI was getting into, huh?

Well.

He, um, Was living in asuite at the Claridge Hotel.

He travels a lot.

He's in the jewelry business.

Anyway, we-- we--

you know, I can'tbelieve I dated this guy.

I mean, I feel like such a fool.

[sighs]

Anyway, I really thought therewas something going on there,

you know?

And then one day he just
checks out of the hotel

and never calls me.

He's gone.

Will you help me?

That's what I'm here for.

Oh.

I am so grateful.

How much do you charge?

Um.

$300 a day.

Plus expenses.

Plus expenses, but, uh,
I don't really eat much

and my car takes regular gas.

That sounds fine.

Now I have $500 in cash.

Would that be enough
for an advance?

Oh.
OK.

Oh, god.

Thank you so much.

Oh, listen.

I don't want you toconfront him or anything.

I mean, if he hears
you're looking for him

he'll move again.

I just want you to findhim so I can see him, OK?

You want to see this guy?

I make a nice living.

I have a nice job.

I just want some peace of mind.

OK.

Great.

I really appreciate
you're helping me.

You're welcome.
Take care.

- OK.
- Bye.

Bye.

So?

So, got a client.

Yea!

Yea.

Yeah, can you ring Raul
Santiago's room please?

He's not?

I could've sworn he told
me he was staying there.

Was he there
earlier in the week,

or does he have reservations?

Yeah, it is important.

What do you mean how important?

50 bucks?

The other hotels only wanted 25.

Yeah.

How am I supposed to pay
you, American Express?

No, I left home without it.

Yeah, thanks.

Bye.

It's 7:00.

I'm going to clock out.

OK.

Listen, have a good
night, all right?

Thanks for staying.

Didn't you find out anything?

Yeah.

Detective work is boring.

That's it?

No.

Everyone in this world wantsto be bribed, everyone.

That shouldn't be surprising.

Well, it was differentwhen I was a cop, you know?

You either went undercoveror you just busted a guy.

What are you gonna do?

I think I'm going togive Linda her money back.

I'll eat the expenses.

I love it.

A guilt-ridden
private investigator.

The guy's a ghost, man.

I've been to everysingles joint in this city

and I've come up with
nothing, nothing.

You'll think of something.

I know you will.

Yeah.

Bye.

Good night.

[music playing]

[SINGING] I can't
kiss you forever, babe.

It don't pay my bill.

I can't hold you forever, babe.

You gotta pay for your thrills.

I need your money.

I need your money.

When all is said and done,Jefferson's the one I love.

Cristal.

I'd say by the color ofthe label, an '82 or '83.

You sell a lot of it?

Oh, yeah.

We have people in here allthe time looking for a $200

bottle of champagne.

We don't even stock it.

Do you know who
distributes it?

Yeah, sure.
I could order you some.

I want to buy a case for avery special friend of mine.

Uh-huh.

Well, if you can afford acase, you could certainly

afford a finder's fee.

[music playing]

[SINGING] I need your money.

When all is said and doneJefferson's the one I love.

OK.

You just got the--

the two that stock
your vintage champagne,

the Wyndham and the Meridian.

Great.

Thanks a lot

Yeah.

[SINGING] I need your money.

I need your money.

Have a good day.

[SINGING] When all
is said and done,

Jefferson's the one I love.

I don't need your hugging,babe, just to make me feel fine.

I don't need your loving,babe, to satisfy my mind.

I need your money.

I need your money.

All is said and done,Jefferson's the one I love.

I can't kiss you forever, babe.

It don't pay my bills.

I can't hold you forever, babe.

You gotta pay for your thrills.

I need your money.

I need your money.

Or what?

Cause that's the way it works.

I have something you
want, information.

And you have something
I want, cash.

Why is it like that?

Why can't people just
help each other, huh?

Now if I came from
the bar and asked you

if you knew of a
good place to eat,

right, you wouldn't
expect to be greased.

You're right.

If I could pinpoint
the phenomena,

I think I'd have to
blame the movies,

or perhaps the [inaudible].

They established an
expectation, you see,

that whenever a privateeye asks about something,

the guy he's asking is bribedto overcome his reluctancy.

Hmm.

I think you might be right.

You can't alter 60 years ofcinematic history now, can you?

No, you can't.

You're a gentleman
and a philosopher.

And a traditionalist.

Thank you, much.

All right, look.

The dude registered underthe name Ralph Simpson.

He's in 1510.

Was he alone?

No, hardly.

You didn't happen to getthe name of the girl, did you?

No, I didn't.

But, uh, she's over
there in the bar.

That's her in the
black and gold.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

Just like in the movies.

Hmm.

Yeah.

Can I have a Coke or something?

Thanks a lot.

[music playing]

I know who you are, bastard.

I'm not hear to hurt you, man.

All right?

Go!

[gunfire]

No!

[gunfire]

REDDING: A real poster boy.

The kind of scumbags
little scumbags

hope to be when they grow up.

What's his rap?

Extortion, smuggling, murder.

Crimes 'R' Us.

It doesn't explain hisreaction when I showed up.

if half the city had
a grudge against him,

he probably figured
you were some cowboy

looking for a payback.

Come on, Redding.

He was being more
than careful, man.

He was primed.

I want to help you out.
- Look.

I think you did enough already.

And what's that
supposed to mean?

It means you let
a pretty girl get

you in one hell of a big mess.

But don't sweat it, pal.

Been trying to nail Santiago foryears, and you did us a favor.

[motorcycle engine revving]

[car honking]

Thank you.

I didn't mean to
shoot him, Captain.

You know?

But it's still half a
clip, and, uh, you know.

I was worried about
the other people.

Hey.

I know.

Redding practically
gave me a medal.

Look, Dennis.

You just got to forget about it.- That's what Redding said.

Yeah, well.

He's right.

No.

He's not right, Captain.

You couldn't forgetabout something like that

and you know I can't either.

Captain, uh, is there something
you're not telling me?

Look.

Just give it a rest, Dennis.

No!

Rumor has it there's
a hitter in town,

a big time operator who worksfor the Medell n drug cartel.

Apparently there must
have been a contract out

on Raul Santiago.

So I did the
hitter's work for him.

No, not really.

In fact, you probably
screwed him up.

I don't understand, Captain.

The way it's supposed
to work is this, Dennis.

A girl comes to hire
you, but she doesn't

know what she's involved in.

It's just an easy way to
make some extra money.

She gets you to ask all thequestions necessary to find

the hit man's target.

That way there are
no witnesses who know

what the hit man looks like.

Except the girl.

When you tell the girl
where to find a target,

she goes to the hit
man to tell him.

Only instead of paying
her, he kills her.

Then he goes and
kills his target.

And that way there aren'tany witnesses left who know

what the hit man look like.

Exactly.

Only you never told the
girl where Raul was.

Instead you got into
a gunfight with him

that made the evening news.

Then she's
probably still alive.

I mean, if she's seen the news,she's probably hiding from him.

You got it.

Then we better
find her, Captain.

You know?

Or he's going to kill her.

[sighs]

Well, it's a slow night
around here anyway.

Look.

You got a plan here, sport?

I don't need a plan.

I got this.

Yeah. that's what
I was afraid of.

Here you go.

What was her last name again?

Are you crazy?

I don't know how to
break this to you, pal,

but we don't have a warrant.

We can't go in there
without permission.

You can't go in there
without permission.

I'm not in the club
anymore, remember?

Booker!

[door opens]

[foreboding music]

Freeze!

Is that her?

No.

Uh-huh.

Mm-hmm.

Now, does that increase
or decrease the chance

she'll shoot us?

Who are you?

I'm a police officer,
ma'am, and he--

Nice try.

The cops were here
about two hours ago.

Look, all right?

We're sorry about
breaking in here,

but I'm a private investigatorand this is really a cop.

Now, see.

We're looking for Linda Fowler.

Linda said it would beexciting living with her,

but this is getting
a little ridiculous.

You're Linda's roommate?

Yeah, since we met in class.

Class?

Yeah.

Acting class.

Great.

Acting class.

So, she's not pregnant, right?

No.

That's a rig she got fromNorth Shore Costume Rentals.

She said it was some
kind of practical joke.

Yeah, it's real funny.

Do you know where she is?

No.

She hasn't been here all night.

[foreboding music]

Booker.

Linda, damn it.

What is going on, huh?

I'm scared.

I heard about it on the radio.

I didn't know where else to go.

Who hired you to come to me.

Linda?

I don't know his name.

He came up to me outside
of my acting class.

He said that he'd
seen me in a play.

He gave me $1,000.

$1,000.

I didn't know anything aboutthe man I asked you to find.

And when I heard he got
killed, I got scared.

And now the police
are looking for me.

I don't know if I've
done something wrong.

I don't know if I'mresponsible for his death.

Do you know what
the guy looks like?

I mean, how were you supposedto contact him again?

He's kind of tall.

He's-- he's got blue eyes.

[gunfire]

[screaming]

[dramatic music]

REDDING: So, what directiondid the shot come from?

I told you.

It came from across the street.

REDDING: There are a lot ofbuildings across the street.

I know there are a lot ofbuildings across the street.

That's why I can't tell
where it came from.

You know, Redding.

I'm getting sick and tiredof you asking these questions

over and over again.

I'm asking questions
because I need answers.

Hey, Redding.

You're the one who wouldn'ttalk to me, remember?

And wait.

Why are you so interestedin me now, huh?

When Santiago was taken
down you wouldn't even

give me the time of day.
Do you remember that?

We think the man
who killed Santiago

has a second target in town.

Yeah.

And he killed her.

No.

He killed Linda Fowler
because she saw him.

We think he's got another job.

According to the
DEA's informants

there was an opencontract out on Santiago,

and it called for two hits.

What the hell
was the second hit?

We don't know yet.

You don't know.

I swear.

Well, somebody better
find out, Redding.

How?

How the hell are you
going to find this guy?

He found me, Captain.

It works both ways.

Listen.

Was Redding being straight withme when he said he had no leads

on the hit man's second target?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They've been working
on this thing nonstop.

Nobody's come up with anything.

And as far as we knowthere hasn't been another hit

since Santiago, right?

So?

So, Captain.

That means the target
is still alive.

Yeah.

Well, maybe the hitter'shaving a hard time finding him.

Or maybe he's using someone tofind the target like he used me

and Linda Fowler, Captain.
- Look, Booker.

That still means you're
looking for people

that you know nothing about.

Yeah.

But we got resources.

We've got to find who'sstalking the next victim,

and we've got to find him now.

How?

I'm hoping there'ssomeone like me, you know.

Probably a PI,
probably very young.

Maybe he put an ad in thenewspaper like we did.

It's a place to start.

Look.

I want you to run
credit histories,

financial records, anythingyou can get your hands on, OK?

Then we'll make a list.

Then we'll start
making phone calls.

Look, do you know howlong that's going to take?

Yeah.

I know how long
it's going to take,

Elaine, but that's
all we've got to go

OK.

Thanks.

Well, please call us if you do.

OK.

Hello, is this Combs
Investigation Services?

Is this Mr. Randall Combs?

Hi.

This is Dennis Booker's
office at Teshima.

Did you happen to see thenews about the shootout

at the hotel?

Well, we're calling
other PIs around town

to see if maybe they'reinvolved in a similar case

and don't realize it.

This woman hiring me,
what would she be like?

She said she was involvedin a paternity suit.

In our case, she gave us aPolaroid photo of the target,

a man named Raul Santiago.

Well that doesn't reallyring any bells for me,

but if something like
that should happen

I will be sure to give
you a call right away.

Goodbye.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I got your call.

You-- you found them?

Oh.

Yeah.

Witnesses who saw
your car accident.

[chuckles]

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Finding them was easy as pie.

But I just got a
very interesting

phone call that
might just explain

why you really hired me.

So let's discuss who
really hired you.

You know, if Redding knew wewere working behind his back,

he'd kill us.

A bad choice of
words, Captain.

You know, we got RaulSantiago's whole life here.

We still don't even know
who his next target is.

Booker.

You know, I didn't
want to mention this,

but what makes you thinkthe two targets are related?

That's all I got
to go on, Captain.

We'll find him.

We really have to talk.

MAN [ON PHONE]: You
have the wrong number.

No, no, no.

Paula gave it to me.

That was pretty stupid,
giving her your number.

See, that can be traced
back to an address.

MAN [ON PHONE]: But she had toget in touch with me somehow.

So how did you guess?

I got a call from theoffice of your first fall

guy, Dennis Booker.

Boy, would he like to
have a word with you.

But I have this funny feelingthat you're going to be talking

to me instead, don't you?

MAN [ON PHONE]: Do you havethe addresses of the names

she gave you?

Right here in front of me.

Why don't you make sure thatthe front door is locked.

See, now that we know
what risks are involved,

it's going to cost you
quite a bit more money.

For her and for me.

MAN [ON PHONE]: I can't
believe you mean that.

[laughing]

Yeah, I do.

It's that, or I'm going tohave to play the good citizen

and take this list of peoplethat you've been looking

for to the police and
give them the number

where they can find you.

MAN [ON PHONE]: I doubt you'regoing to be able to do that.

Really?

MAN [ON PHONE]: That'slike trying to catch a bird

by pouring salt on its tail.

What the hell is
that supposed to mean?

Maybe something like this.

Aren't these new cellularphones just amazing?

No.
No.

- Think about it.
- No!

No!
No!

[thud]

Elaine Grazzo.

What a lovely name.

[music playing]

[gunshots]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Hello?

Elaine Grazzo?

Middle name Bartolo.

Driver's license
number 290310480?

Who is this?

Someone who knows
a lot about you.

Why are you telling me this?

Because from what I
hear, you and your boss

have been trying to findout way too much about me,

and it's already caused
me all too much trouble.

So I want you to give
a message to Booker.

I want you to tell him to stoptrying to find me for 12 hours,

or I'll be paying visits
to all his friends.

Things were flying
all over the place.

I didn't know what was going on.

The phone rings.

I pick it up, and the
guy starts talking.

He knows everything about me,which really freaked me out.

And he says, uh, keep
Booker off the case.

All right.
All right.

Is that all he said?

Yeah.

Look, Elaine.

I know this is a dumbquestion, but did you recognize

anything about his voice?

You mean like
maybe I once met him?

No.

I gave up dating internationalterrorists months ago.

Yeah.

This is a dead end.

i mean, 12 hours?

May as well go home now
wait for film at 11:00.

I think he gave away
the store, Captain.

You got an idea?

The only way he
could put a tail on us

was to investigate us thesame way I investigated Raul.

Now, we got names
of targets, Captain.

Our names.

Now we got to start
working backwards.

Call Alicia and
find out if anyone

ran our names through anyother credit companies, OK?

OK.

Dennis, where are you going?

I'm going to see
you if anyone's been

poking around the neighborhood.- Good.

I'll come with you.
- No, Captain.

Please stay out of this.

Look, Dennis.

You can't take down aguy like this one on one.

Captain, they know where
she lives and works, OK?

Just take her back to
the chapel and stay

with her until this is over.

Please?

Look, Sam I need
to know if someone

ran a skip trace through yourcredit reporting service.

No, no.

It's the head of
my investigation

unit, Dennis Booker.

I just want to know if anyonewas asking about Elaine Grazzo.

Yeah.

Somebody was.

Who?

An Investigator.

They said she owed a
lot of money on a loan.

Well, did he leave a card ora phone number where he could be

reached or anything like that?- Nah.

Nah, I wouldn't
tell him anything.

I didn't like his manner.

He even tried to bribe me.

[scoffs]

Yeah.

[phone ringing]

Yeah?

ALICIA [ON PHONE]: Booker,I've got a name for you.

Yeah, who?

He's a private investigatornamed Randall Combs.

5952 Washington Avenue.

He ran a phony skip
trace on you and Elaine

through Intertel Credit.

- Thanks, Alicia.
- Wait, Dennis.

There's something else.

Yeah?

He ran another
name, Adam Fuller.

And Dennis?

He also ran my name.

Listen, Alicia.

Stay in the building, OK?

And, uh, get some securityup there with you.

Do me a favor, Dennis.

Give me some advice
I haven't thought of.

It's going to end very soon.

[music playing]

[screaming]

[grunts]

Yeah.

Give me Jump Street
and Captain Fuller.

Tell him it's Booker,
and I need him fast.

Yeah?
Hello?

Hello?

Captain.

He killed the PI and
shredded the files,

but he didn't realize one thing.

Intertel sent an
extra copy, Captain.

I got the name of the target.

I got him, man.

I got the son of a bitch.

[music playing]

[shouting]

Are you Martina Santiago?

Listen, listen.

Why does the Medell n
cartel want you dead?

My ex-husband competes withthem, but he abandoned me.

Raul Santiago, right?

Yes, but I haven't
seen him in years.

I don't think thatmatters to them, Martina.

Listen to me.

They still want his
whole family dead.

I want you to go to
the police. all right?

Come on.
Come on.

It's OK.

Come on.

I don't get it.

It's so [inaudible].

Listen.

I want you go to the policeand talk to Captain Fuller, OK?

Get down!

[moan]

Listen, listen.

Go out the back and don'tstop for anything, OK?

[music playing]

Well, isn't this interesting?

Where's Martina Santiago?

Gone to the police.

And who are you?

Oh.

I think you know.
- Dennis Booker.

And you're here alone?

No.

You're here, too.

Why not the police?

You would've seen
them coming a mile away.

And if you hadn't, who knows?

You might have surrendered.

And why didn't you shoot mewhen I came through the door?

Well, as much as I wantedto, I'm not like you.

I can't just shoot you down.

Even you, I'm willing togive one chance to surrender.

You're crazy.

That's what they tell me.

[gunfire]
