Chinese food

I have seen her in so many magazine

covers I feel like we're old friends and

you obviously are old friends

the waterworks is on what don't Street

coming out I want to know how you know

Cristina masters McCall there are many

exciting things in my life would be

willing to sit down and talk to you

about Kristina Lowe Masters is not one

of them

what do you got there Bert I got here

I've got here is everything under

control hunter that's what I've got here

don't need any backup thank you just

passing by Bernie who's the body Delores

Avery aka Delores Brown aka three or

four hundred other things majani sat in

the sweethearts took four shots from a

22 well you don't think that Santa and

his girls are trying to run another

blackmail scheme to you mine one of the

patrons thinks she saw the killer a

woman is that the murder weapon Bernie

yeah I found it in the hall

has anybody seen her trick man about 40

45 years of age well-dressed

speaks with of European accent no our

guy had red hair a mustache possibly a

scar and glasses why do you ask hunter

just curious Bernie well looks like you

have everything nailed down here wait a

minute so let's dig into those about

humus I'll take care of it Larry hey

honey who's that you were describing to

Bernie Carey Lemaster it's Christina's

husband you don't think he was you're

cheating on her do you well he might

have been I will never understand that

about some men how could any guy that's

married to Christina lemasters seek any

kind of outside entertainment I mean

looks aren't everything but come on she

seems like a nice lady - she is a nice

lady isn't she yes she is

you can drop me at home

[Music]

did you find out anything about the

woman I saw yeah sure did she was a

hooker and you're gonna have to go

downtown answer some questions Christina

Rick you said you'd help me a patron at

this place fingered you as a possible

suspect but what about Terry well the

guy she showed up with didn't fit his

description you mean for a second there

you thought Kerri was the killer well

you said he did go there and if he did

he's a suspect just like you would be I

came here hoping we could take care of

all this without Carrie finding out I

followed him Christina dead people are a

police matter they could file everything

else under marital problems I don't

believe it

you followed me Christina you actually

miss trusted me enough to get off the

plane and follow me I'm sorry Carrie

excuse me gang for butting in like this

but I think the apology should be coming

from the other party don't you mr. Lowe

Master Sergeant hunter this is a private

matter between my wife and myself so if

you'll be so kind as to excuse us

certainly as long as you answer a couple

of questions in mind like while you were

at the waterworks this evening did you

happen to see a redheaded guy with

glasses accompanying dark-haired girl

about 26 years of age no I did I don't

remember I was only there five minutes

Christina

you had to conduct your investigation

now in front of my wife or your

extracurricular activities mr. will

master puts you at the scene of a crime

I'm just doing my job good job of course

did you have to make it so painful for

Christina let me tell you something pal

you should have thought about that

before you made your little rendezvous

at the waterworks look it's over I went

to that place yes but it was only to

break it off

it wasn't anything really I look hunter

I've had some personal crises of my own

recently and it it provided a diversion

no excuses for it

I'm just sorry the Christina had to find

out about it this way but I'll do

everything within my power to make it up

to her

[Music]

this morning mr. and mrs. lemasters came

in to file their formal statements on

the murder here they're quite a couple

you know he is just a spooky-looking and

she is beautiful and obviously a very

rich apparently he's a financial

consultant with a fancy office down on

North Camden yeah you'd think he could

afford to hang out better motels

obviously Kerala Masters has got some

problems

yeah he just doesn't know how many yet I

get the feeling that any additional

problems he may have will be originating

from this end hunter you're not trying

to get into some sort of a joust with

this guy to try to win back the fair

Christina now are you well I was just

taking a consideration your observation

on this case sergeant since when

well like you said why would a guy like

lemaster married to a woman like

Christina need to hang around sleazy

hookers and cheap motels just doesn't

make any sense unless he was doing

something other than what he said he was

doing like murdering Dolores Browne

right I doubt it I got a full report on

the murder this morning professional all

the way and the hit was made for someone

apparently the killer left a napkin with

a purple circle drawn on it I think we

should talk to Johnny sad about this I

think it's a good place to start

[Music]

oh sit down Johnny you saw someone go

buy yourself a soda pop peaches charge

it to Daddy here birds

so what do you want well she's doing all

the talking today Johnny I'm just here

to kick your head in if I have to

we're here to help you mourn your loss

Johnny

the late Delores Brown she's been

earning him 1,500 bucks a week for the

past year and that's a conservative

estimate and he doesn't know she is can

you believe that hunter that's a freebie

so now on account it was a professional

hit Johnny now who'd want to take a

contract out on Delores

well how am I supposed to know you and

Delores were running another one of your

blackmail scams right oh no not me look

I had no part of it I swear I had no

problem when she said she had a pigeon I

told her I told her and I told him I

said you're gonna squeeze the wrong dude

one of these days and they're gonna do

you I swear anyway she squeezed look I

don't know I didn't ask I didn't want to

know I swear hunter I kid you not Johnny

it was a contract tip now I know there's

another one out there and it's got your

name on it I got the word out she was in

and on and alone Johnny said he is clean

well you may have the word out on the

street Johnny but how do you know

anybody's listening think about it

[Music]

you don't believe that dear not a word

[Music]

[Music]

like I said nobody was listening now

well they were listening they just

weren't believing

[Music]

20 to throw away at a cocktail napkin

with a purple circle on it tire tracks a

yellow sit down with an eligible license

plate the red headed driver with glasses

now that's a repeat performance so

obviously the guy we're looking for has

red hair and wears glasses

I wonder who Johnny and his lady we're

trying to shave down that's a

professional hit you just don't find

those guys in the yellow pages you got

to know somebody who knows something

yeah well Johnny and his girl too smart

to try to hit somebody they know is

connected well how smart are they both

dead yeah all right you want to shake

down Johnny's apartment before or after

lunch you go ahead and do that I'm gonna

see what words of wisdom I can squeeze

out of my Uncle Dom it doesn't add up

Ricky killing is a very serious business

professionals aren't gonna take the

trouble on the risk for a couple of

gutter rats well whoever wasted that

hooker and her pimp Johnny sat and

wanted somebody to know that's why they

left their signature now those purple

circles means something to somebody

you're a young man just starting out

your chosen career you're ambitious you

want to get ahead so what do you do hard

work is good but it isn't enough you

kind of do something that's gonna make

the poorest notice you could be a

special project you dreamed up on your

own it could be a favor you know the

boss want it done you know what I'm

saying here Ricky there's some punk out

there trying to earn his bones there's a

guy out there runs under the name Tommy

Largo he's looking around a few weeks

before that nobody knows there's some

that say maybe he's from Jersey or

Chicago but those are just stories

who does he do business for until I

heard a set on his broad I just said no

one everyone thought he was a little pot

so no one would let him in the door yeah

well somebody let him in but who who

benefits an item on the important

personal benefits from the killing a

toasty

[Music]

freeze police

old man to do to me what would he do if

family business when you were with her

here together in bed having a good time

real relaxed a couple drinks movie smart

girl could take advantage of you get you

to talk I never put out no contract on

my body I suppose you never heard of

Kerala Master or Tommy Largo either Lago

yeah yeah I heard of him comes from

Buddy Stoney

the other guy never heard him Margaux

make a nice addition to the family

business right right all right so he

comes to me a couple of times tells me

wants to come to work for the family I

should give him a break down to pop

don't forget about it hey I don't bring

nobody to pump I don't know personally

to bust of my head and why would he have

Johnny Santa and his girl wasted if you

didn't give him the contract for an

intro to your old man what do I know

nothing more well if he should happen to

pop in to get kissed for doing some

family business should be sure let me

know right oh yeah first thing

[Music]

listen Jimmy got exercise more getting

flabby

[Applause]

you want to explain that to me in there

why I asked him if he knew Kerala

masters all the Masters was at the

waterworks that night what she explained

who's guilty he'd live hunter we saw the

guy who killed Zack now he fits Tommy

largos description I was just trying to

be thorough you know maybe I could maybe

you could steam rule this guy because he

wound up with Cristina look you can't

let this get personal this is not

personal I think we're to concentrate on

Jimmy Thomasina okay

Hey

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

I mean I go come on open up

[Music]

it's not like there was anybody there

[Music]

[Music]

hey take a look at that largos

left-handed

shayok there's a four-star restaurant a

guy who lives here with frequent

[Music]

bingo

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

did you look under red wigs purple

circles come on Johnny or shaking my

faith in the FBI yeah I'll do it

you 2:54 old one huh yeah NYPD nothing

on a Tommy Largo Boston ditto Detroit

Chicago Philadelphia New Orleans all a

big fat zero nobody is that good

well LC doesn't exist oh here we go

Largo and the Masters are the same guy

again huh it's a possibility

anything is a possibility but we have no

probable reason to reach that conclusion

except that you want it to be true what

about this red wig

hitman used disguises so there won't be

ID when they're committing the murder

not in their everyday lives unless it

was all a part of the same hit now maybe

lemasters has a contract for some

reasons we don't know has to fulfill

them this Tommy Largo hunter this is

storybook theater and it's all based on

a wig okay how about this the guy has

never spent one night in his apartment

he's never slept in his bed he wears a

size 34 shirt and a 9 shoot that's

lemasters sizes and Smitty's anta

williger's about half the continents

what about the fact that largos

left-handed I know it's not when he came

through that door his gun was right

there

do you notice that uh-huh like this

Oh cliche can you get if that was such a

damning piece of evidence what would it

be doing holding up the furniture come

on you didn't know we're gonna come

snooping around his apartment and I

suppose it has a convenient phone number

scrawled on the inside of the cover come

on give me a break will ya phone number

well it's worth a look great enjoy your

dinner

hi hi sorry I'm late I waited for

karaoke for the office that's alright

this is a pretty nice place Christina

you eat her often not anymore

used to be one of Carey's favorite

places I was surprised when you

suggested it

well you're not afraid of meeting carrot

here on earth you know I really don't

think he hangs out here anymore look

Christina I I wanted to see you again

because I was concerned about how you

were doing you know the last time we

talked you weren't doing so well I've

been better but I guess it'll all work

out

have you had a chance to talk with

Carrie yeah we talked but I don't think

we solved anything

he apologized assured me it was nothing

I believed him so what's the problem

it's not the affair Rick I just feel

like I'm living with a stranger he wants

us to go away and start a new life

somewhere else two weeks ago I would

have jumped at the chance the way I feel

today I just don't know you know Rick

how difficult this whole ordeal has been

for me but there has been one good point

about it the chance to see you again and

be friends just knowing you were only a

phone call away really helped me from

cracking up thank you are you very

welcome sorry excuse me yeah

thanks sergeant hunter the purple circle

murderer strikes again who is it

Marie Greene the photographer found him

in a steam room towel with a purple

circle on it

why'd she throw away the side does

anybody see anything any leads I feel

awful about this I should have kept him

in protective custody until we nailed

Largo when he posted his own bail told

him to lay low he should have listened

to you well he was in a steam room

hunter he wasn't in a parade what about

Christina

Jess what about Carrie shirts or any of

that stuff no not yeah what about his

work habits what about the affair did

you ask Christina why she thought he was

cheating on her well I'm kind of easing

into that you know you're trying to ease

into that unhurt

you're not letting her get to you now

are you I'll call I'll pick you up in a

half-hour I'll talk to you then all

right

is there something dripping on my chin

no it's you're eating differently

Christina the forks in your left hand oh

oh I used to cut my food and then I

would switch my fork to the other hand

most Americans do but the European to

keep their fork in the same hand eat it

actually is easier I picked that up from

Carrie I guess you can't spend that much

time with somebody without them

influencing you the phone call was it

important oh yeah listen uh I've got to

go Christina police business

I remember hearing that line once or

twice before in my life I'll call you

okay take care yourself

[Music]

if the Masters is a hip man he sure puts

up a good front between this office and

his standard of living

he's pretty smooth all right is he the

reason Christina isn't mrs. hunter nope

he had nothing to do with it

Christine and I ruined what we had all

by ourselves

there's our boy

how you doing Tommy what the hell is

this well that's a red wig I found that

in your apartment just seconds before

you tried to murder me with this machine

gun

you obviously have a major problem yeah

it's you but once I get you off the

street and into a cell everything is

gonna be just fine Tommy why do you keep

calling me Tommy

Tommy Largo well that's the name you go

by when you're busy killing pimps and

hookers killing hookers are you still on

about that because I was at the

waterworks that night are you really

going to try to pin a murder on me

simply because I happen to be married to

the woman with whom you were still in

love Oh spare me the violins Tommy

christina has nothing to do with this

it's between you and me because I'm a

cop you're a pile of spit walking on

dangerous turf hunter I can make your

life miserable and I will I haven't

quite figured your game out yet Tommy

but I do know you're operating this town

- Tommy Largo contract killer well well

mean that I would have to try to kill

you

absolutely nothing to do with finance

and it's just a front for his

professional assassinations

he killed a hooker her pimp and a

photographer all to ingratiate himself

to Papa Joe Tomasino so he could get

close enough to kill him don't overreact

professional killer what the hell am I
