Original subtitles

She spent nine months in rehab, one year counseling.

That's right. Yes, she's one of the most reliable workers I have.

You revoke her now and you're blowing two and a half good years right out the door.

Listen, Jerry, we'll talk about this later, okay?

When we both have calmed down a bit.

Oh, I don't think you're a reactionary dinosaur, Jerry.

Others might say that, but not me.

Can I help you?

I'm Lieutenant Alex Turner, Oakdale Division homicide.

I need to talk to you about the Bridget Nelson murder.

Yes, I've heard already.

It's quite a great find you have going for you here.

This is a counseling center for prostitutes,

or girls who have quit the life and are trying to go straight.

It's a very small world we live in here.

Okay, calm down.

You do good work, I'm told.

Look, I need to speak to Bridget's roommate, Melissa.

We can't seem to find her.

I've got information that she comes to you from time to time for counseling.

Yes, she did. I had Bridget for a few sessions, too.

But she was uh what should I say? Too young, too impatient.

I get a lot of that, I'm afraid.

Do you know where Melissa is?

You'll need a court order for that, Lieutenant.

Listen, confidentiality is one of the few things this place has going for it.

This is a picture of Bridget Nelson the day she was murdered.

I don't have time for a court order, Amanda.

I'm sorry, Amanda.

I used to be a car girl myself.

I know the helplessness these girls feel,

the vulnerability, the lack of self-image.

I'd do anything I could to protect them, Lieutenant.

I have been known to bend a few regulations.

Bend one now.

Oh, damn. I wish you hadn't shown me that picture.

I just hope it's as important as you say it is,

'cause I'll lose it for sure after this.

Once the girls can't trust you, they don't need you.

I appreciate this.

Also, anything that she might have said

that could be of information to us.

I think she saw the man that was with Bridget that night.

You mean a positive I.D.?

Well, no name, unfortunately, but, uh...

well, it's a start, isn't it? Absolutely.

I can't thank you enough for this, Amanda.

Seeing as I'll probably never hear from her again,

will you let me know what happens?

That's a promise.

Michael, is that you? You bet. Four o'clock sharp?

Very prompt, Michael.

Uh, who sent you?

What do you mean, who sent me?

Nora set it up. You know that, don't you?

Hi, Michael. A girl can't be too careful these days, you know.

Yeah.

Boy, you're a knockout.

Nora really outdid herself this time.

Well, thank you for saying that.

Come on in and make yourself comfortable.

You know, um...

you really ought to get yourself in a more secure building than this.

This is, I mean, a building with intercom and security guard.

I know. I ought to get a lot of things, Michael.

Here, let me take your coat. Yeah.

Sit down.

Uh, Nora says you're from Cleveland.

You're on business?

I'm here for a regional sales meeting. Let me guess, married?

Been married for ten years.

2.2 kids and a house in the suburbs.

No kids, and it's a condo on the lake.

There goes the national average.

Um, tell me, Michael, what do you like to do?

Well, um...

I don't know.

Well, I mean, I guess the usual stuff.

How do you know Nora?

How long do you know Nora?

Well, look, Melissa,

um, I have a little confession to make.

First time in town. Yeah.

See, I just spoke to Nora last night.

Uh, they, uh, had gotten her number from somebody at work.

Business connection.

Well, I'm glad, Michael.

I do basically what everyone else does,

but I have something maybe you'll be interested in.

It's a little more expensive, but what isn't these days?

What sort of special things?

Why don't we take care of the basic finances

so we don't have to worry about it later?

Yeah, right. It's, uh, 100, right?

Why don't I tell you about a few things we can get into, Michael?

You see, the mistake that men make about sex is they think it ends...

Oh, and starts...

with their prick.

You see, men don't understand about the sensitive parts

that they have on and in, or even how to use their body.

So you have to have a little willingness to explore,

to take an adventure.

I think you're up for that, Michael. Welcome to my place, Michael.

Just relax. Just relax.

Take it. Take Yeah.

Yeah, I got it.

Michael!

Eat my pussy.

Ah, Michael!

What a lovely taste bud you have.

Michael ... Michael! come in.

I need Fuck you. Do you want to fuck me.

That's it baby. That's it.

I'm gonna make your life real happy.

I'm gonna make you happy.

Oh, yeah, it's all, it feels so good.

Oh, it sure does, baby.

It sure does, baby.

It sure does, baby. Oh, yeah.

Oh, good, Stick it into me.

Oh, beyond.

Yeah. Fuck like this in my clean little hole.

Not enough. Not enough.

Oh, baby.

Feels good. Rub it on it clean like that.

That's good.

Oh baby you are wet.

It's good do it done.

Watch me behind, baby.

Okay. Behind me.

Watch me good behind. Oh, come on.

Come on.

She needs you to come over.

That's right. Just fill it up.

Just fill it. Come on.

Now I just want you to cum on my ass. That's right.

Oh, Michael.

Michael, Michael.

Oh, Cum for me, baby.

Cum for me like you never come.

Oh, that's it.

That was fabulous, Michael.

It's the best I ever had.

You were great. Really.

Open up, it's the FPI police. Oh, shit, I can't believe it.

Be quiet and they'll go away. Oh, fine.

You'd better have a warrant on you. Why?

Do I need one?

Is there a crime being committed here?

I just want to chat with you, Melissa.

Well, it was nice talking to you.

I was seeing, I'm late.

You ever heard of Madame George, cop?

Do you think this thing through?

You're gonna be in big trouble for this one, believe that.

First of all, you don't rate George's protection,

so let's cut out all the phony outrage.

Secondly, here's my ID.

Alex Turner, Lieutenant.

Homicide.

No wonder you don't look familiar.

It's about your ex-roommate, Bridget.

Yeah, well, what about her?

I've got information that you saw the man she was with the night she was killed.

That's bullshit!

Bitch, it was confidential.

She's lying.

We had a hell of a time getting the information out of Amanda,

but confidentiality goes right out the window in a murder case, Melissa,

and right now you're the only link we have.

You know, I'd hate to have to bust you for prostitution.

Oh, big fucking deal. Look, just come down with us

and look through some books. Talk to the police artist.

You're not gonna find him in any mug book. Why not?

'Cause the way he carried himself, the way he dressed.

Did Bridget ever talk about him? No, not a word.

Did he ever see you? No!

He came to pick her up,

I watched him out the window, and they were gone.

Okay?

Yeah, that helps. What helps?

That he didn't see you.

Because you're gonna go out and help me find this guy.

You're gonna give me a positive ID on this creep.

No, I think I'll pass if it's all the same to you.

What about Bridget?

Don't you even care what happened to her?

She's a loser! And you're a winner, right?

Well, let me tell you something, winner.

You're gonna come out and help me find this guy,

because if you don't, Vice is gonna let it out on the street

that you've just become their number one, all-time goldmine snitch.

And you're a prick.

You know, you're worse than the pimps.

When it comes to homicide, you bet your ass.

Remember, Bridget said she was gonna go work for George

and have a better life.

Now that she's dead, you just want that same opportunity.

You know, I really hate you for this.

I'm gonna come in in a few minutes later just to keep an eye out on things.

So don't sweat it, all right?

Let's just get up on the next rung of that ladder and see where it leads.

Listen, Alex the Cop, you better be there for me.

Do you know what the owner did to a girl that he thought was gonna snitch on him?

He cut her nose off.

His name is Billy the kid.

Frankly, I'm scared of him.

Look, Honey.

I know you got the looks and everything,

George really needs somebody right now,

but you're a little pushy, you know what I mean ?

So, if we want you, we'll call you.

What's this "if" shit ? I want it.

Where you been hiding this fox, Nora ?

Hey kid, she wants to fill in for Bridget.

Oh yeah ?

The roommate, right ? Right.

Hmm, does she do good work for you, Nora ?

Oh yeah, kid, she'd fit right in, and she doesn't even have any big ideas, like our little friend Bridget.

Hey, forget Bridget. That's history.

Okay, okay.

Well, uh, before I pass on any recommendations,

uh, I'd like to know what I'm talking about.

Come on, kid. I feel like an interview.

Hey, kid, take it easy on her, will you?

I'm always easy, Marla.

You know that. Yeah, I know that.

Listen, uh...

Send Chris home, will ya?

Yeah, it's time to start the good life, bitch.

Oh, by the way, in case you're interested, and you better be,

I'm mighty partial to rim jobs.

So come on, start cracking.

Let me zip my pants.

What are you shaking for, bitch?

Hey, you do this five times a day, don't you?

What's your fucking problem? Huh?

You're hurting me, Billy! - Yeah?

Well, this ain't nothing, baby,

if you don't start using that bell of a tongue of yours.

You hear me? So there you are.

I thought I saw you going to the back with some guy.

What's the matter, give you more money?

You know what this bitch did me? - Hey, are you crazy?

Get out of here before I hand you your ass, motherfucker.

Hey, man, cool it, will you?

It's just that I paid the bitch some money for something I didn't get,

and I just want to get it back, all right?

After that, you can do whatever you want with her.

Oh, I can, can't I?

Ain't you a nice one?

Yeah, that's mighty, mighty of you. - Motherfucker!

Come on, bitch, I got some unfinished business with you.

Yeah.

Tony, send Nora in here. Now!

What happened, kid?

Melissa left here with some guy like she was shot out of a cannon.

The best, huh, Nora? Yeah.

Level-headed. Not like Bridget, right?

Billy, what happened? I have never had a problem with her.

Yeah, well, I'll tell you what happened.

The bitch was so spooked, her hands never stopped shaking

from the time she was in this office.

Then this guy breaks in, pretending to be a John,

puts me down just like they teach you at the police academy.

Really? Yeah.

Yeah, that stinks.

As a matter of fact, I got too many problems right now.

I'm calling Hunter.

Okay, okay, listen. You know, just take it easy. Relax.

It's gonna be okay. No, Nora, it's not gonna be okay.

You see, I still have this raging heart on.

Well, don't worry about it.

I'll send Chris in to take care of that.

Yeah? - Yeah.

Well, you sent Chris home, remember?

Oh, yeah, I sent Chris home.

Tell you what, why don't you send in that, uh,

new stripper I saw last night?

Who, Candy? Yeah, that's the one.

See how we stack up the old against the new?

'Cause you're invited to stay, too, baby.

Well, I guess I can, uh,

show her some new tricks she never even dreamed of.

I'm counting on that, Nora.

This is Candy.

Candy. It's a perfect name for you.

Isn't she? Isn't she just the sweetest little thing?

She looks sweet. He requested you, honey.

Oh, yeah. Get her clothes off. Yeah.

She looks delicious.

Take off your... heights.

Beautiful. You're gonna pull that right through.

I'll tell you what, why don't you just take your clothes off, too?

There you go. I'm gonna like this.

I hope so, honey.

You said you can. - Oh, yeah, honey.

Now, is she doing okay?

Oh, yeah, she's doing great. - Oh, yeah?

I'm gonna find out.

Oh, fuck it.

Oh, that's so good. Suck me!

I bet you'd like to have some of your pussy too. - Yes, I would.

Come here, you get up there, baby. No, you. Get up there.

I'm gonna have some of this pussy.

I know this, baby. You know the routine.

I'll open it.

Okay.

Oh, God.

Fuck me.

Easy.

Get it.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, you're so good.

Oh, you left.

Suck his pussy. Suck.

Get your pussy off and Get my dick

Bring your pussy over here.

Look all that cum off my dick.

Suck all your cum off my dick.

Come over here and fuck me now. Yeah?

Teach me, Teach you.

She's like a little piece of candy, isn't she Billy?

Look at how sweet she is right now.

Hey, watch it, honey. You're okay.

Careful. I'm fucking banging my balls on the corner of this desk.

Whoa.

I'm up kind of high here.

Come on, Yeah.

Come on.

Yeah, suck me, baby.

Look at my cock.

Ooh, now that's fucking good.

Let her suck me!

Those bitches, huh?

Can you get up here now? Yeah, sure.

I don't want to move too much, I'll just take it right from here.

Come here. Yeah, sure.

That's why I gotta go over here. Perfect.

It's fine. Back over here.

Oh, fuck you.

Jesus.

It's really hot.

It's burning hot.

Yeah, Billy. Oh, yeah. Billy, come on over.

You ready? Yeah.

Fuck me!

Push. Come on.

I'm going to cum over. Oh yeah.

Oh yeah, look at that, that's nice and nasty.

Just like I like it.

I guess I need to go back to spy school, huh Alex?

Look, I'm not blaming you. Hey, it's okay.

You came, you bailed me out.

You could have just let it go.

I appreciate that, Alex.

It could still work out, Melissa.

You know it can't wash out.

You know it.

I blew it.

Go ahead, call the vice if you want.

Will you forget that I said that?

Christ. I'm trying to.

Take me home, please, Alex.

And go play nice cop somewhere else.

Hello? - Melissa, this is Nora.

How would you like the best news of your life?

What? Uh, listen, Nora.

I'd like to apologize about the other night at Billy's.

I mean, you really scared the hell out of me.

I mean, I didn't mean to. Melissa, forget Billy, will you?

Everybody knows he's a prick.

Now listen to me. Hunter Marshall wants to see you.

Hunter Marshall? Are you sure about that?

He just called me a few minutes ago.

He's sending a car around for you at 1 o'clock.

Baby, he's talking about moving you up.

Why? Why me?

Well, why not? Bridget's gone.

Thanks, Nora.

Thanks so much.

Thank you.

Melissa, I had no idea you were so beautiful.

The trouble with this business is a lack of communication.

I've heard that you're interested in stepping up in this business.

I did want to, but frankly, Billy the kid has changed that idea.

Melissa, please. What I have in mind for you,

there'll never be another Billy again in your whole life.

This is the Gold Coast, Angel.

The sweet life.

I have an opening for a top call girl.

You'd be going out with politicians,

captains of industry, celebrities, the cream baby.

We'll lease you a high-rise apartment, a nice car,

get you a whole new wardrobe.

Was this opening going to Bridget?

Yeah, we were grooming her.

But frankly, if I'd have known about you, she'd never have had a chance.

Well, she never got it anyway, did she?

Listen, what happened to Bridget was a big mistake.

It'll never happen again, I promise.

I'm going to personally protect you.

I'm going to see that you get the opportunities you deserve.

Think of it, Melissa.

No more cheap trip pads, no police hassles,

trips to Acapulco, the Bahamas.

You'll never look back.

I can't believe this.

You know, I was thinking of quitting,

going back to Salina, Kansas.

You're from Kansas? Yeah. Whoopie.

I was born in Topeka.

No, you weren't.

Yes, I was. No way.

Look at that, we're both a couple of Jayhawks.

You know, I did all right for a kid from the farm belt.

So can you, Melissa.

Look, I'm not Billy.

There's no strings on this.

It's just...

Well, I thought that we'd be seeing a lot of each other from now on.

Might be nice to cement our relationship with something more meaningful than a handshake.

My choice? Yeah, absolutely.

You're going to the top no matter what we do.

Hunter...

Kiss me.

That's incredible.

I want to kiss you. I want to suck you.

Oh, oh, ...shit.

Oh, it's so cute.

Oh, fuck you.

I never thought I never thought I'd be like this.

Oh, yes.

Oh, oh, oh, yes.

Oh, fuck.

I did it. I did it.

Cut my pussy, Hunter.

That's it, that's it, I want all of it.

Give it to me.

You want my jacket? So bad, I'm so bad.

You want me to come?: I want you to come, yes.

I want you to come.

Oh, you smell of skin, too.

I'm gonna come, baby. Oh, baby, here I come.

Oh, oh, baby.

Yes, yes.

Oh, look at that.

Oh, baby.

Oh, so good.

Hey, baby. What you doing here?

Tony let me in. I thought I'd talk to you.

Yeah? Talk.

I'm leaving you, Billy.

I packed up my things. Here's your apartment key.

What? Leave? Come on. What are you talking about?

Hey, baby. What's wrong, baby?

What's wrong? Yeah.

You send me home so you can practically rape some little hooker that comes in here,

and you tell me what's wrong?

Be serious, Billy. For once in your life.

Baby, hey, hey. It wasn't what you'd think.

Really? What was it?

Look, I never get you involved in my business, right?

I mean, I never tried to turn you out.

I mean, you're special. So?

So never, ever repeat what I'm about to say to you.

Don't you think you can trust me by now?

I'm hoping. Okay?

Now, that broad that came in here, I think she's a plant.

Yeah, and that boyfriend, so-called boyfriend of hers, is undercover.

What for? I mean, I thought you were off-limits to vice.

Who said anything about vice, baby? Could it be Chet?

Hey, don't ask so many questions.

Anyway, it's taken care of.

What do you mean, taken care of? No, not like that. Okay?

I mean, I called Hunter,

and he's giving Chicky-poo there the opportunity of a lifetime.

They want her to take Bridget Slott in the organization.

Yeah, and I figure, it takes the good life,

she'll kiss that old fuzz goodbye.

Right? And, of course, with Georgia's protection,

those cops will be history to her.

Way to go, Billy.

Yeah, makes sense to you now, doesn't it?

See, I was just trying to speed things up a bit, you see,

make this fucker reveal himself so, you know,

we know who we're dealing with, see?

I guess I jumped the gun, didn't I?

Yeah, I guess. Yeah, you kind of did.

You gonna be sweet to me now? Sure.

Hey, this is my bar.

This is where I do my best work.

You're driving me crazy. You know that, don't you?

Yes.

Right there, right here.

Just like that, yeah, just like that.

Bury the face in it.

Where'd you learn that, huh? Yeah.

Where'd you learn that, huh?

Where'd you learn that, Billy?

I don't know. Just came.

Where'd you learn that? I don't know.

Come to get it.

I haven't the time. I haven't the time!

Why don't you come over here?

Come on. As a matter of fact, I want you to suck my dick.

Think you could do that? Yeah.

Bring that baby here, honey.

Bring that baby here, honey.

You do it that way, right? No.

You're sucking my butt since.

Check her. Check her for me.

Go bitch.

Okay.

Stay right there.

I got something for you.

Yeah, huh?

It's called bearing the hatching.

Oh, yeah.

Come here.

That's okay.

There, that's okay.

Oh, yeah, there we go.

Put that back, honey.

Put that back, yeah.

You put it back here.

Ooh, ooh, that's it, squeeze it.

Squeeze it.

Grab it.

Right there, right there, right there, baby.

Right there, baby.

Right there, baby.

Here, right there.

Get on your knees, come on.

Get on your knees, baby.

Oh, yeah, baby.

Crucify.

Just like that. Just like that.

Just like that. Yeah.

Oh yeah, oh Billy, yeah Billy.

Come on, come on.

That's it, easy.

Right there.

How'd you do that? Yeah?

How'd you fucking tell you to do that, huh?

How'd you fucking tell you to do that? Let me see.

Yeah, like this.

I'm gonna go all in on your pussy. Yeah, like this.

Yeah, yeah, come on, do it, do it.

Yeah, that's hot, huh?

Right in there, that's a one. Close that, baby.

Come on, baby.

Oh, you are fucking hot. Nasty, too.

Just the way you like it. You got it.

Who loves you, baby? You do, Billy.

Lieutenant Turner, please. Tell Miss Bluebird.

What have you got for me, Bluebird? I'm running pretty empty right now.

Well, she got through to Hunter.

He's offering her a top spot in Madam George's organization.

Offer her plenty of protection. That'll neutralize her.

Kill her incentive to cooperate with us. That's what she thinks.

Well, you'd better hurry.

They're probably going to move her to a new spot right away. Thanks, Bluebird.

Look, call me this time tomorrow. Good luck, Lieutenant.

You forgot to lock your door.

No reason.

It's always nice to see upward mobility in your profession.

I don't need any sarcasm from you, Alex.

I'm going home. I'm quitting.

Why, Melissa, what a big fibber you are.

Hunter Marshall has taken you under his wing,

which means that MadambGeorge will see to it

that you drink Dom 59 every night

and never have to look at a cop for the rest of your life,

short and sweet as it may be, right?

I don't know what you're talking about,

and I don't know any Hunter Marshall.

Talking about murder, the kind of felony about which Madam George

and her influential friends means jack shit.

Who do you think the department is anyway?

Just a nice little doggie that's going to roll over and let Madam George

and her friends do anything they want?

Vice has had an undercover cop in the organization for months.

We know what's going on,

and we're going to keep the pressure up until Bridget's killer surfaces.

Yeah, and with my help.

You saw him.

If they didn't do it, then the pimps

and peddlers are protecting whoever did.

You just get out of my life, Alex.

You know I can't do that, Melissa.

One of these days, somebody's going to become terribly paranoid.

Who knows what sets these people off?

They're going to want to know

what you were doing with a cop at Billy's bar and why.

Hunter's not going to let anything happen.

Why?

Because you bought and paid for it?

Maybe as far as he's concerned, but what about Madam George?

Or the guy who did and Bridget?

You're living on borrowed time, Melissa.

I don't want anything to happen to you.

Nobody rides for free.

Now, is that it, Alex? Yeah.

If I have to take you in as a material witness, I will.

It may not stick, but I don't think your new employers

would be too crazy about it.

So what happens now? Not a thing.

We never had this conversation.

We stick to the plan as is.

When you see the familiar face, you call me.

And what happens if I see that familiar face and don't call you?

That's a chance I'm gonna have to take.

That when you see the man who took Bridget away,

the one who probably killed her later that night...

She was your roommate, for Christ's sakes!

That you'll do the right thing!

You see, I don't think you're up to protecting a murderer, Melissa.

Toto, I think we're not in Kansas anymore.

What's that? Nothing.

Just a line from The Wizard of Oz.

Will you please come sit down next to me?

You're gonna be okay.

I feel like a giant yo-yo.

You're not as tough as you make yourself out to be, you know that?

Neither are you, Alex, a cop.

Just make sure whoever's on the inside keeps an eye on me.

Because I feel like I don't have a friend in the world.

I'm your friend, Melissa.

Go, go, go baby.

I want you to come so bad.

Dear Alex, I'm sorry but I can't go through with it.

I'm not cut out to be a Mata Hari.

I don't think Hutter has the answers for me either.

At least you convinced me of that.

Please don't think too badly of me.

Also my real name is Lisa.

Last night was very special to me.

You know, I don't fucking believe you, Timmy.

Don't call me Timmy. You know I hate that.

We could have had such a good thing, Timmy.

My girls, your politician friends, influence peddlers, lobbyists.

And I bet there were even a few bills passed in this state,

had a little cum stuck to them.

Christ, Denise, that's whorehouse talk.

And I guess you were never in a whorehouse.

All right, so that's where we met.

That was a long time ago.

Look, I set you up because I thought you had the

polish and ability to be the best madam in this city.

You set me up because you knew

I had the balls to be the top madam.

Look, I really don't see what you're so upset about.

Now, why don't you just sit down

and finish eating your scrambled eggs before they get cold?

You know, what's scrambled here is your brain.

So let's just forget the politician's first credo,

which is to deny everything.

The fact is, you wasted a little hooker.

And regardless of how you feel about the value of her life,

this one's just not going away.

What do you mean?

Now, no one knows that I was with her that night. Wake up, Tim.

Some guy, probably an undercover.

And Bridget's roommate went to Billy's bar.

The roommate wanted to take her place as a call girl.

Hunter will take care of her.

Offer her some money or something.

I think she saw you with Bridget that night.

Christ, Denise.

What are we going to do?

If she did see me... We won't do anything.

I've got a network of informants in this city that would make Vice green with envy.

I'll find this roommate.

And unlike some people who bury bodies in ditches,

this one will fall off the face of the earth.

What'd you do it for, anyway?

What got through that politician's cool of yours?

She laughed at me.

She what?

I laugh at you all the time.

Well that's a little bit different. We're partners.

We started to get big ideas

and she was going to work for you.

She wanted me to pay for it.

No more freebies. Me!

Anyway, I didn't mean to kill her.

It was an accident. I just lost my temper.

That's what you get for trying to promote the street

urchin that you troll for at Billy's.

You're just lucky you weren't there.

Look Denise, I know all of this.

Never again. You bet never again.

Now listen, this is what you can do for me.

Us.

I want Billy's license revoked.

I want that place closed down.

The people that hang out there are just going to start talking too much.

What about Billy?

Don't get sentimental on me now Tim.

This is operation cover your ass. Remember?

You just stick to what you know best.

Like lying to the public.

Look, I don't rate this pejorative attitude of yours.

I made you a lot of money in this town.

Sorry.

Come to mommy.

Doesn't that make it all better, baby? You know it does.

Do you want me to suck your cock, Timothy?

Yes, please.

Oh yes.

Amaz.

That's the Nipple.

You'd like to fuck me now, wouldn't you?

Please. Yes. Yes. Would you!

Please. Please let me fuck him.

Excellent. Excellent.

Oh. Matthew.

Ooh, fuck me this way.

I know, you've always had a secret desire.

come now, baby.

You'd like to come, really? Yes.

What you doing?

Don't laugh at me.

New life.

Amanda, this is Lieutenant Turner, remember? Sure I remember.

You asked me to keep you up to date on the Bridget Nelson murder.

Look, her roommate Melissa is split, and frankly, I think she's in a great deal of danger.

She also holds the key to breaking this case.

Amanda, you there? Yeah, yes, I'm listening.

Amanda, has she contacted you? Do you know where she is?

Well, the last time you asked me to help you out on that,

it didn't work out too well, did it, Lieutenant?

Yeah, she did contact me, much to my surprise.

Look, she and I, we're friends.

She's just scared and confused.

If I don't find her, somebody else is going to.

You don't want to look at another police photograph, do you?

She's not going to work undercover for you anymore, Lieutenant.

I know that.

I'm just trying to save her life. Okay.

Okay, she's at the Ridgemont Arms, room 405.

I'm putting her into our protective witness program until this case breaks open.

I hate to rat out one of my own girls,

but I just don't think she can make it anymore on her own.

Thanks, Amanda.

Look, call me Alex from now on, huh?

I feel like you're part of the department now.

I wouldn't go that far, Alex.

Keep me posted? Sure, thanks.

Look, Denise, I agreed to bring her here

because I thought you wanted her to get a little vacation from the heat.

Oh, but I do, Hunter. I do.

Well, what's this shit about tying her up?

Well, we're gonna play a little question and answer with the street bimbo.

Is that okay with you?

No rough stuff, Denise.

Why, Hunter, I believe you have a soft spot for this girl.

How droll.

Look, I was supposed to meet Billy here.

You know, what's happening?

Billy's got a very full plate from what I've been told.

Something about serving miners and other things.

I forget all the details.

You know, Hunter, I think you should go in the other room and stuff cotton in your ears.

That way you won't have to hear how Melissa makes a chump out of you.

Or hear her screams, whichever comes first.

Well, I guess it's just us girls now, isn't it? What do you mean?

Chris, I've always had my doubts about you.

You know, you don't hook, you don't take drugs, a real straight arrow.

And yet you hook up with a lowlife like Billy the kid.

Melissa.

Who is the so-called John that rescued you from Billy's that night?

And what do you know about Bridget's last date?

Please, I don't know what you want.

I've told you everything I know.

Look, this is getting real boring, like a broken record.

Chris, why don't you teach this tramp the joys of telling the truth?

Why me? I mean, I'm not involved here.

Well, you're either with us or you're against us.

So get to work.

And don't bother gagging her.

Out here it doesn't matter. Just one thing, Denise.

What's that? What's in it for me.

Now, there's a sentiment I can really relate to.

Perhaps a managerial position in my organization.

You know, for real money, instead of Billy Bucks.

Oh, very nice.

Now I bet your cop friend just loved to suck on them.

Denise?

Light me a cigarette, will you? No!

No.

Try it, you're dead. Police officer, you're under arrest.

I'm gonna tie this bitch up. If she moves an inch, shoot her.

I hope she moves.

I'll read your rights later. Melissa, call the cops.

Tell them an officer made the assistance and give them the address.

In the meantime, keep her quiet.

Go ahead, call the police.

There's time for that.

Now it's my turn to ask other questions.

A question that you're gonna answer.

Since there are no lawyers or cops around to prevent my method of making you talk.

Oh yeah.

Thank you so much for bringing my purse.

I always carry this for protection.

Now, I'm gonna ask you a question, Madam George.

I know who picked up Bridget. Who is he?

I knew it.

What do you care anyway?

Because I could have been Bridget.

And I know somewhere along the line that scum is gonna try it again.

And I don't care. I don't like being tied up.

And I don't like being harassed. Is that enough?

Last chance. Please, not the face.

His name is Timothy Dunn.

He's a politician in city government.

He's very well known in certain circles.

Yeah, and about to be known in all the circles.

Now describe him.

He's six feet.

Good looking.

35, maybe.

Just please put the knife away.

Guess we'll never know if I was gonna catch you.

Will we?

Operator, give me the police.

Hi, Barbara. You got a message for me?

- That homicide cop Lieutenant Turner called.

He said Melissa's not at the Ridgemont Arms.

He thinks she's been kidnapped. Oh, shit.

He said there were signs of a struggle.

Oh, okay. Thanks, Barbara.

He's at the Oakdale Station if you need to talk to him.

Right.

What's on your mind, Susan?

Well, I'd like to pick up my paycheck.

I know it's not due until Friday, but I'm quitting.

You're quitting?

Well, I got this great job in Seattle

that this girlfriend of mine got for me.

It's a straight gig, but the money's great, so I've got to go.

Doing what?

Well, it's, uh...

It's dancing. Straight dancing.

You know, no stripping or anything.

Just regular go-go dancing. And you're leaving today?

Uh-huh. As soon as I get my paycheck.

Oh. Uh, banks checked, ticket bought, checked out of the hotel?

I left the key with the landlord this morning. I'm all set to go.

Can I see your ticket, Susan?

Well, I... I left... I left it at the...

Where? At the hotel? - Yeah.

Oh, but I thought you'd, uh, checked out of the hotel, Susan.

What are you doing? What are you doing?

Oh, Susan. Someone must have given you the wrong ticket.

It says New York.

Well, You must be one hell of a dancer, Susan.

You bitch. You have no right to go through my purse.

You were the only one who was in the office

when I gave Alex Turner Melissa's address.

You know, I never made the connection.

How much do they pay you for a girl's life?

I don't have to listen to this shit.

Jesus.

Stop. I don't want to hurt you.

I got this gun to protect my girls from the pimps

and the vermin on the street.

Well, I think you qualify for vermin now.

Now, who did you call? - You wouldn't use that.

I'll blow off a piece of your leg, then ask the same question.

Oh, I'm a crack shot, Susan.

My late husband was a cop, and he taught me all about guns. Your choice.

You can't prove that I did anything.

Who the hell said anything about proving?

I'm going to say that was my money and you stole it.

Now, who do you think they're going to believe, Susan? Me or you?

All right. All right. Just...

Just put it down, all right? - Who did you call?

Marshall. His name was Hunter Marshall.

Now put it down!

Alex Turner, this is Amanda Hart.

Do you know a Hunter Marshall?

Well, he's the one that's got her.

Why don't you send over a car to my office?

They can collect my source of information.

And you just better pray it's not too late, Missy,

or you're going to be looking at 20 years up at Fontana.

What do you want? Well, I was just...

What the fuck is this?

It's Denise's. She thought she heard some noises and sent me to investigate.

I came here for a little backup.

What the hell is Denise doing? She isn't...

No, no. Melissa talked right away.

I think she has some other kind of fun in mind.

Oh, I could understand that.

So, uh, what kind of noises did you hear?

I think she just wanted some privacy.

Denise is kind of kinky, you know, and Melissa's all tied up.

Has to do whatever she wants.

Yeah, that could be fun. So you came here for?

Well, Billy's not exactly my, uh, best bet in life anymore, is he?

He never was, baby.

You were always too classy for a lowlife like that.

Everybody knew that. - Thanks, Hunter.

You know, I've got to think of my future now.

Why don't we discuss it in the bedroom?

Yeah. Why don't we?

Yeah, this is it.

You just make yourself dance.

Why don't I'll give you a massage the lifetime.

What do you say?

Oil.

I got everything, baby.

Weird.

You like that at all, though? Yes, I do.

It's a very special kind of massage.

I don't really use my hands.

It's gonna be a body roll.

Yeah, you can see that. Body roll.

You're not to use your body, honey.

Oh yeah, mighty good.

Oh, hungry is so hard.

Give me your pussy!

Yeah.

Oh, lick your finger. Lick your finger and do that.

Oh, lick your finger and do that.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Do it like this. Do it like this

Don't stop. Don't stop

That's it. That's it.

Let's go see how Denise is getting along.

Oh, sure. Let me get dressed first, okay?

Not now, baby. We'll surprise her in our birthday suits, just like we are.

That'll have to be in another lifetime, Hunter.

You're under arrest.

Well, congratulations, Sergeant.

If anybody deserved a promotion, you did.

Thanks.

You know, there were times during that operation,

when I wished I was still a meter maid.

Whatever happened to the Honorable Timothy Dunn?

We picked him up for questioning.

He was babbling a mile a minute on everything

before we got to the station.

Tried to make deals left and right.

God, a politician to the end, huh? Yeah.

Certain quarters at City Hall are going to be pretty ripe for a while.

So, uh, how's your star witness?

Well, with Madam George's operation busted up,

she's probably on the main boulevard plying her trade.

Don't worry, though. I mean, she's gonna testify in court.

Of course you will, Alex.

Look, don't be so hard on Melissa.

In the end, she showed she really cared.

Look, once Madam George got behind her defense attorneys,

we never would have gotten the scoop on Timothy Dunn.

She did it her way, and it worked.

You know it wouldn't have held up in court.

I know, but she did the best she could, and it worked out okay.

Once Mr. Dunn found out that George was in the can, though,

I mean, he talked a mile a minute. Opened up.

Look, I have to go. Yeah, me too.

Pleasure working with you, Sergeant. Thank you.

Stay out of crummy bars for a while, okay?

Yeah, you know, I think I'm going into juvenile division for a while.

Give my nerves a rest. Juvenile?

God help you, Chris.

See ya.

Alex, hi.

Lisa, what have you got to say for yourself?

You're not going back to Kansas, are you?

No.

I'm going to Amanda's Life Counseling Center.

I am moving into one of her apartment buildings.

I start work tomorrow.

So, what have you got to say for yourself?

I think that's great that you're gonna work for Amanda.

I think that you'll probably...

Mr. Good Cop.

No speeches, please.

Just off the record.

Off the record?
