And cut. So I suppose my sister Dolores is in jail again, huh? She's been found

dead. It's a strange place to meet.

I figure this way you can't be wired, Sergeant Anderson.

If I could get a part, they'd probably put me in the van like they did the

other girls. You could wire me, follow the van. But what if something goes

haywire and suddenly you have to perform?

Forget here. Let me take your coat. Oh, thank you.

What's this picture about?

Roman orgies.

Countess.

Bettina, thank God.

Be patient, Countess. Another minute and you'll be freed.

That's enough.

Bettina, go.

How was it? Well, I'll tell you how it was.

Beautiful.

We are gonna print that. That was gorgeous.

Gorgeous.

Are you going right into the next shot? Two, three minutes. Stay close.

I'll be back.

Wilkes, you wanna reload?

It's gonna be a long take. You better play it safe.

That makes sense.

Thank you very much.

Okay. You are looking real good, Dolores. Real good.

These robes are pretty tight, Manny.

Realism. Relax, babe. Couple of more shots, we're all finished.

Now, you, uh... You know what I want now, huh?

I think so.

All right.

You're gonna hope I'm real tight on that gorgeous face.

Now we pan over to breaking.

He's gonna fake hitting you.

That's when you scream.

You sure he's gonna fake it?

Hey. I mean it, Manny. He's a freak.

He really is. He gets his kicks out of hurting people.

Well, she's right.

You remember what happened.

You know the last time.

It won't even come close. I guarantee it.

You know the boss wouldn't stand for anything like that.

Okay.

Huh?

Okay, Brayden, you ready?

I'm ready.

Marsha, you ready?

Yes, I am.

Wilkes, all set.

Is this a team?

Ooh.

Okay, sound, camera, and action.

Whoa,

pull him back.

Hold it.

You know what?

You said a horse is pretty good. Oh, come on.

No, I wouldn't exactly hire you for a cattle drive.

You couldn't afford it. There's not enough money. You want to race?

Race? Yeah. Not on your life. What about on your horse?

No way. No racing.

Come on. At the end of the road, there's a yellow gate.

Tell you what.

You beat me there and I'll buy you lunch.

Not for dinners for a month at the Queen's Arms would I race. Come on,

Pepper. You can do anything. Let's go.

Let's go hey

Let's

go

See

I told you could do it Next Sunday we go bowling you mean

I finally found something I can do better than you Think

it's a smell what is that?

You see anything What

is it the autopsy report said that she was probably killed thrown into the

bushes ten days two weeks ago The doc can't narrow it down any more than that.

What about cause of death?

Possibly. More likely from the skull fracture.

That's not mine. Give it to McKnight.

Any sexual molestation?

Negative.

You want to see the x-rays?

They don't pass.

Gentlemen. Hello, Peter.

Well, she's not Jane Doe anymore.

They make her own prints?

Yeah, I just talked to Pepper. Her name is Dolores Rogel.

R-O-G-E-L-L.

Rogel. Yeah. You mean anything to you?

No, well, she was busted twice once in San Francisco about a year ago for

hookin and about three months ago here for narcotics She must have a local

address 8 3 7 South Avery.

Well, let's get moving. I'll get search want Yeah, it was in the paper this

morning terrible thing terrible But I figure since it happened we might as

well take advantage of it, right I mean we could triple the grosses inside of a

week

That's right, sir.

So I've been on long distance all morning, called all the theaters where

the picture's playing.

There's gonna be a big new advertising campaign.

Why don't you let me surprise you, Mr. Dayton?

Trust me, huh?

I appreciate that.

Oh, and give my best regards to everybody, will you?

Lisa must be a big girl by now.

Really?

The dean's list?

Hey, that's terrific.

Well, thank you, sir.

Right. Bye-bye.

Bye.

Dayton's granddaughter made the dean's list. First year in college.

That kid's really gonna be something.

This Aurelia doesn't look too good.

A little pruning, liquid fertilizer help it.

Poor Dolores.

Could have made a lot of profitable pictures together.

Well, I guess it's time to find a replacement.

Go tell Manny, huh?

What about that other girl?

Marcia, that her name?

No, no, she's not right.

Wait a minute.

You better find her, too.

She's a friend of the Glorises.

Find her fast.

Will do.

She probably read the papers, got all shook up.

Get all shook up, you got to talk to somebody about it, right?

Yes, sir.

I understand just what you mean.

No question at all, she skipped.

A lot of people skip around here. It's not like it used to be.

You know, her rent came due three days ago.

I've been ringing her doorbell ever since.

You see?

Open up. Could I see that search warrant again?

I don't blame them.

But you can trust me, it's good.

Okay.

Thank you. We'll lock up.

You better.

People would steal everything out of here.

I know the type.

Look at this.

Uppers, downers, you name it.

Hey,

what the hell do you think... Hold it!

Police!

I'm sorry.

I didn't know. I'm sorry. Who'd you think we were?

The guys that have been hanging around with my sister.

The guys that got her into that movie.

Delores Rogel's brother?

That's right, Matt.

Show me.

Hi, Rogel.

So I suppose my sister Delores is in jail again, huh?

Afraid not.

She's been found dead.

We found her body yesterday.

We think she was murdered.

You gonna be all right?

Yeah, yeah, I'll be all right.

How about that movie?

What? You mentioned something about a movie.

Yeah, um... Hardcore stuff, you know.

Say the masochistic film, uh...

It's been shown all around town.

Tonight, Josephine.

Weird movie, huh?

Wow. Killing her just to make a movie. Man.

It's just a shock.

Well, they couldn't say it if it wasn't true. I mean, they got lost.

Eh, maybe.

That one looks like he enjoyed it.

Mm-hmm.

It's true.

Police today identified as Dolores Regal 24, the woman whose flawed body was

found yesterday.

Oh, gorgeous.

You ready?

Yeah, let's go.

Five bucks, you get your student ID card?

Hey, the lady.

Two adults, please.

You know what this means. You have to buy your own dinner.

How's the picture?

All things considered...

It wasn't quite gone with the wind.

So she wasn't killed as part of the movie then, huh?

Not a chance.

They accomplished all that with makeup, special effects, whatever it is they

use.

Now, it had to have happened after the movie was finished.

I figure there's two possibilities.

Either she was killed by an outsider, somebody in her personal life, a

stranger, whatever.

Or just somebody who saw the movie. Well, that could be.

The picture's been out a little more than a month. Somebody could have seen

it early on and gotten inspired.

Really? In this case, life imitating art.

Raise them off, Billy.

The other possibility, somebody connected with the movie kilter.

I hope so.

Why is that?

Well, if somebody connected with a movie kilter, at least we got a list of names

to work with.

If it was an outsider, man, we got nothing at all to go on. Ready on the

firing line.

Oh, Pepper.

I thought this was going to be a lunch date.

It is.

Oh, no coffee for me, thank you.

You're serious.

You want me to file a petition?

and go in front of a judge.

That's what deputy city attorneys are for.

No, that's not what we're for, Pepper.

Not if we want to keep our jobs.

Not if we don't want to get laughed out of court.

A ban, come on.

All right, you be the city attorney.

Go ahead, make your case.

Tell the court why you think this picture should be banned.

This picture, it's an instruction manual in sadism. Any number of people could

look at it. They might get ideas.

Right. Grant.

Your Honor, if we follow that line of reasoning, we would have to ban Hamlet,

because some lunatic might try to feed poison to his mother.

Ben, tonight Josephine is not Hamlet. Your Honor, I submit that this film, it

might be shoddy, sadistic, degrading.

It might be all of these things, and worse.

But it can be likened to Hamlet in one very vital respect.

legally, on the basis of higher court decisions.

It is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States

of America under the right of free speech.

And the defense rests.

That's how it'd be, huh?

You knew that all along, Pepper.

Damn.

Is this still taken to a production?

Yes, yes, it was.

Where did you shoot the film, Mr. Sigler?

Uh, the studio, mostly, except for the exteriors.

That's the outside stuff.

Mm-hmm, I know.

Now, tell me about the cast.

Well, there's mainly three parts.

There was Dolores, Miss Rogel, uh, Bregan, and, um, Marsha

Gilmore. Gilmore.

Who was in the crew besides the sound man?

Wilkes.

Yeah. You got it.

That's all?

Yeah.

Well, you know, Bregan used to help out sometimes. Everybody did a little bit of

everything. I'm not exactly a Sam Goldwyn, you know what I mean?

You could have fooled me, Mr. Ziegler.

Do you ever see the people you work with on a personal basis?

I didn't mix with any of them.

None of them, Mr. Wilkes?

Filth. They were all filth.

Including Miss Rogel.

I wouldn't be surprised if she were the worst of them all.

I understand she was a prostitute.

Wow.

Man, that's really heavy. I know what you mean.

So she got what she deserved, right?

Look, Mr. Royster, I just stayed away from her. The only time I ever saw her

was on set.

Who financed this picture?

I did.

You put up all the money?

I don't mean any offense, Mr. Ziegler, but we checked up on you, and you're not

all that loaded.

Oh, well, I borrowed some from some friends.

Oh, you borrowed?

Now, hold on, Sergeant.

My client came to this place willingly, but that doesn't mean that he... What

about Mr. Earlier? Now, he comes pretty high.

Did you borrow enough to pay him, too?

There's no law against a man having a prominent attorney.

And that being the case, it's no concern of yours how he acquired counsel,

Sergeant. Well, my client will tell you everything he knows about Miss Rogel,

but he won't answer questions about anything else.

Is that clear?

Uh-huh. Still hasn't answered a question I asked you.

Did you and Delores Rogel go together?

No.

And I'm sure the others will confirm that.

Like they say, Miss Rogel wasn't quite to my taste.

People have been known to kill people who weren't quite to their tastes.

Yeah?

Just an observation, Mr. Bregan.

Officer Stiles, isn't it?

Investigator Stiles.

Whatever. Stiles.

I'm a sadist. On camera.

Off camera. I'm not.

If you think you can prove otherwise, you just go ahead and try.

Don't you have a personal relationship with Miss Rogel?

Are you kidding?

That bimbo, she slept with half the guys in town. I wouldn't touch her.

Well, I got to tell you, Mr. Ziegler, that's not the story that we got.

You did have a personal relationship with her, didn't you?

Can you imagine that?

That was a tramp there, you know.

That was a bum.

I didn't care. I wanted to marry her.

She turned me down cold.

That upset you a lot?

Yeah.

Imagine a good-looking chick like this.

Hops into bed with every guy in town, yet when it comes to you, she turns you

down.

Did it make you angry, Mr. Ziegler?

If you're asking me, did it make me angry enough to want to kill her?

No.

Look, Sergeant, you can make a couple of bucks making porno movies for the

freaks.

Somebody's gonna get the money. I might as well get it.

That don't mean I'm a freak.

Still more?

It's a strange place to meet.

I figure this way you can't be wired, Sergeant Anderson.

Oh.

Well, I have to be honest with you. Whatever I learned today goes on my

reports.

You want to know what I know about Dolores?

Yes.

Well, she was my best friend.

As soon as the picture was over, we were going to quit, leave town, and start all

over again someplace else. And after we finished shooting, I kept trying to

reach her.

I didn't think she'd leave without me.

And then I read about it in the papers.

Marsha, do you know who killed her?

Chuck Brayden.

You know, the co-star.

I'm almost positive.

He threatened her a couple of times.

He threatened me, too.

I mean, he was a real sickie.

How many pictures did you make of Bregan?

Tonight, Josephine was the third.

How come you and Dolores kept on working with him?

I guess in this business, she can't be too choosy.

I mean, it was Bregan. It had to be. It wasn't anybody else. Believe me, I've

thought about it.

Nanny, Wilkes, Tony.

Tony? Now, who's Tony?

He's the backer.

I don't know his last name. He runs the whole show.

He was there when you made the pictures?

Most of it was shot in his house.

Well, where's that?

I don't know.

Out in the country someplace.

Everybody was taken out and back by Tony's gopher in a big red van with no

windows in the front of the back, so we didn't know where we were.

The more I think about it, the more I'm sure.

Reagan is the one who killed Dolores.

That's the way I see it.

It couldn't have been anybody else.

the one who wasted the girl, right?

Tony, it's not true.

The police, they had me on the grill for what?

More than an hour. Did you tell them that... They made me a comforter every

second. For two weeks.

Listen to me.

I was out of town for ten days.

I can prove it.

The rest of the time, if you want.

I can give you the places I went, the people I was with.

I don't think I was alone for... Ten minutes.

Tony, he might be telling the truth.

You really believe that?

Oh, it could be.

Maybe we ought to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Okay.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now.

Take him back.

Let's go.

Are you, uh...

Are you still going to use me?

In the next picture?

Sure.

Best business.

Hey, Bill.

It's cold out here. Yeah.

Who found the body?

These kids hiking found the body.

They, uh, notified the sheriff's office right after we sent out our APB. You

sure it's him? Take a look.

That's him. Thank you. When they found the body, he had a gun in his hand, and,

uh, this was in his pocket.

I've lived with her for a long time, and I can't go on anymore.

May God have mercy on my soul.

I killed Dolores Rogel. I was with her, was drunk, went crazy, and then she was

dead.

Signed, Charles Reagan.

I don't think Bregan killed himself or the girl. Em, you're saying?

What I'm saying is, his alibis check out, we know that, but his suicide

letter doesn't sound anything like the Bregan Marcia told me about. Joe, you

questioned him. Yeah, I don't think he'd have felt guilty if he OD'd his own

mother. There's no car in the vicinity.

Pete, how do you think the guy got out there?

Maybe he bummed a ride.

Yeah, but why bother? If a guy's gonna shoot himself, why didn't he just do it

in his own apartment? Anybody could have typed the letter and forged his

signature. Well, we got two people dead.

What now, my love?

Hunting down the man behind the scenes.

Yep, Tony, whatever his name is.

Won't you guys look inside?

This is where we found Braga.

This is where we found Dolores Rogel. That's pretty close.

That's a remote area. There may be 200 houses scattered over 15 square miles.

One of those houses could be where they shot that movie, where this Tony lives.

So what do you want us to do, Bill, check every house?

Well, we could start with a utility check, take it street by street.

It'll take about a week.

Well, we gotta start somewhere.

Uh, what about the ad, Bill?

Forget it.

What ad?

We've already been through that.

Actresses wanted for provocative films. Contact Manny Ziegler Productions.

I always wanted to be a star.

Believe me, kid, this ain't the way you do it. I hear they don't use many close

-ups. I said forget it. Oh, come on, Bill, give the kid a break.

I always wanted to know a celebrity.

Besides, we do have to get a line on this guy, Tony.

Don't you people understand the word no? No.

Now, Pete's right.

Now, listen, if I could get a part, they'd probably put me in the van like

they did the other girls. You could wire me, follow the van, and we'd get a fix

on Tony.

Pepper, that sounds terrific.

But what if something goes haywire and suddenly you have to perform?

I'd, uh, I'd think of something. No, don't worry. You just keep your fingers

crossed.

Okay. But you better cross more than your fingers.

I wonder how long these interviews are supposed to last.

Who knows?

I don't know how much she has to take off.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Well, how do I... I mean, how do I rate compared to her?

I'd call it straight A. Oh, you're kidding. Would you mind reading those

two lines at the top? You're Diana.

Oh.

What's my... I don't remember what you call it. Motivation? What's my

motivation? Well, this guy is advancing on you, you see.

He's got this thing for your body.

Go with it.

Don't touch me. Please, please, get back.

Oh, is that nice? Is that nice? That's my only line.

Well, you see, if you get the part in the picture, any part at all, you will

not be speaking that much.

Now, tell me...

Ginger. Ginger, of course.

Uh, what was your last job?

You know Johnny K's downtown?

The topless joint.

Well, I danced a little.

What time was it when she went in there?

Four o'clock.

It was ten to five.

Yeah, the longer she stays in there, the better chance you'll have of making a

connection. Beautiful.

Okay, now tilt up that luscious chin.

Oh!

Oh, oh, yes.

You know, of course, if you get the part in the picture, you won't have to wear

all of that cumbersome clothing.

Yeah, I know. I saw the ad.

Yeah. I wonder what would happen if I untied those bows.

I'd turn into a butterfly.

That I would like to see.

Cost you $100 when I take off my clothes.

Mm-hmm.

Why be so glum? Give me a little smile there.

Yeah.

I don't understand you taking all these pictures. You're looking right at me.

Well, see, I... I got an associate.

He's got casting approval.

Oh. What's his name?

What's his name?

Throw back those shoulders for Daddy.

I'm gonna give her five more minutes.

Then I'm gonna find some reason to go in there.

So, uh, this is where we'll do some of the interiors. Not all of them, huh?

Mostly somewhere else.

Excuse me.

Well, I'd say you got about a 90% chance.

Maybe, maybe better. Maybe better.

Good. I'll call you, huh, Ginger?

Thank you, Mr. Ziegler. Thank you very much. Manny.

Manny.

That door. I'll take you out.

I'll cross my fingers.

It's after five.

Go home.

Here she comes.

That's it.

Looks like Pepper's in showbiz.

Hold it.

Who is that?

That's Delores Rogel's brother.

Are you kidding? What's he doing here?

Looks like he's playing detective.

Looks pretty hot about his sister, doesn't it? Didn't you tell him to lay

off? We did.

Guess it didn't register.

Maybe we can make it register.

Uh-oh, he's on us.

He's pouring out.

Hold it, Billy's gonna make a right on us.

I'll take him from the left. Got him coming from my side, Bill.

Hold it right there, man.

Come on, get him.

Hold it, man. What are you guys doing? What are you chasing me for?

What are you running for?

I don't know who you were.

What are you doing coming out of this ignorance?

I got myself a job. Doing what?

Construction.

Why the devil are you working for Sigler? To get some information about

what happened.

Look, I think I got a pretty good motive, wouldn't you say?

So do we. We get paid for it.

Yeah, except that you're not making an awful lot of progress, are you?

What would you do if you got the information?

Play the avenging angel?

Now, wait a minute. Let me tell you something, Mr. Rogel.

We're doing everything that we can.

Now, I sympathize with your motives. We've got the same goals.

Only we got a little more experience than you got, and we don't want you

getting in our way. You understand that? Are you getting my message?

Yeah, I'll think about it.

Now, is it okay if I go?

Yeah, you can go now.

Don't pull another trick like that, either.

Oh, yes, this is Ginger Holloway. Any messages?

Oh, thank you.

Hey, Ginger, how about dropping this off at the night's office?

Answering service again?

Yeah, Ziegler should have phoned by now.

Well, don't sweat it. He will.

Oh, what makes you so sure? Pete, you want some coffee?

No cream.

Because you're so sexy and beautiful, and besides, I checked out your

references. Oh, you didn't tell me that.

What, did your sex seem beautiful?

Ever tell you? Once.

Miss Gilmore.

You told me to watch out for strangers.

Well, a man came in. He's been hanging around upstairs.

Bye.

Just came in from NYPD.

Artist sketch and accompanying info suggest subject probably Anthony

Linever, formerly associated with Zack Dayton, identified syndicate figure out

of New York.

Linever not seen here last four months, rumored to be on the coast.

Involved in porno film operation.

Photos and other data to come.

Well, I guess we know who Tony is.

And we know that the syndicate is behind him.

Considering the size of the ticket, I'd have been surprised if they weren't.

I'm gonna go by the apartment, check the mailbox for any messages.

How is the place?

It's got mice.

I'll tell Parks. Maybe we'll get a break on the rent.

Sergeant Anderson.

This is Marcia Gilmore.

All right, there's a restaurant on Palm And

you wait for me I have one stop to make but I'll be there in about about 30

minutes so you wait

Hello, Mrs. Reinicke.

How are you today? I'm just fine. How are you?

Fine. Any phone messages for me?

No, there weren't.

All right. Thank you very much. Miss Holloway, good afternoon.

I recognized you from your pictures.

Oh, you're from... Ziegler Productions. And congratulations, you've just about

got a job.

Just about?

All you need is a screen test.

A screen test?

Well, we don't normally give them, but we're talking about the female lead.

And the budget's going to be very high for this type of film.

So the backer, he doesn't want to take any chances. You can appreciate that.

Oh, sure.

Well, when do they want to test me?

Tonight. As a matter of fact, right away.

Now? They're waiting for us.

I see. Well, if you don't mind, it'll only take me a minute to go upstairs and

freshen up.

I'm sorry.

We don't have a minute. We're late as it is, and it's a pretty long drive.

Oh, well, I had a date. I'll just call and... No phone calls till after the

test. We better get started.

Sergeant Crowley.

This is Marcia Gilmore, Sergeant Anderson's friend.

Yes, Mrs. Gilmore.

I'm really getting worried. She was supposed to meet me here, and she hasn't

shown.

Where are you now?

At the Blue Moon Restaurant on the corner of Palm near 4th.

What time is she supposed to meet you?

At 4 o'clock, and it's already after 7.

Okay, thanks very much. We'll check it out.

Hey, Ginger, we thought you'd never get here. Hi, Manny. Let me take your coat.

Oh, thank you.

I hope you didn't mind having to ride in the back of the van that way.

Oh, not at all. I understand those things.

Come here.

Tony, may I present Miss Ginger Holloway.

This time in the flesh.

Very, very nice flesh indeed, Miss Holloway.

You may call me Ginger.

Ginger.

I look forward to a long and very profitable relationship.

I expect you to make it very big.

Well, I, uh, I only hope, uh... You hope what?

I only hope I'm around longer than your last actress.

Oh. You read about Dolores?

Yes.

She was going around with a very sick man, Ginger.

Very sick.

He killed her and then killed himself. I'm sure you read about that, too.

Mm-hmm.

So?

All you have to do is stay away from sick people.

Something about a screen test.

Does that make any sense to you?

That she went with him? Not right away. She said she wanted to make a phone

call, but he said she couldn't, that they were late already.

Listen, I don't eavesdrop on my tenants. You know, I just happen to be standing

right there. You did very well.

Listen, could you give us the description of the guy?

Well, he was, um, very tall.

About six feet tall. Yeah, Northwest Division, please. How much did he weigh?

Oh, but I... Yeah, this is Sergeant Crowley. Who's the watch commander?

Put him on. Sandy. It's urgent.

Short hair, yeah.

Come on, come on.

Fred, this is Bill Crowley.

Listen, I'm at a chance to clear this, but I want you to do something for me. I

want you to spring every black and white you can spare.

A house-to-house search.

Now, see, if this works out, it'll be more than just a test. It'll wind up in

the picture.

Oh, what's this picture about?

Roman orgies.

Over here, see, they're celebrating the Feast of Venus here in Forum.

Oh. They got this Vestal Virgin. They're sacrificing her at the altar.

I'm the Vestal Virgin.

The Head Vestal Virgin, right.

Now, don't worry about the lines. There's only one of them. I'll tell you

when to say it. The main thing is to keep your eyes on me. I'm going to be

giving you directions and look sexy at all times.

Which should be pretty easy for you. All right, come on. Thank you, man.

Down the hall here, at the end, you'll find a door.

Go in there. On the bed is your costume.

You wear clothes, first part of the scene. Oh, I'm going to need my makeup.

Oh, no, no. I like you just the way you are. Go.

Okay, girls, any minute now. Hang loose.

Ginger, where are you? What's holding you up?

Oh, nothing, Manny. I'm doing the best I can.

I'll hurry.

Roger, 56.

12Y50, we've covered the area west of Canyon Road on lock.

Roger, 56.

Uh, check south of Pass Road. We'll take Highway 17 to the end of Canyon Road.

Roger.

Look, we got nothing to worry about. For sure. That'll play it cool.

The question is how the others are gonna play it.

Ginger, what's keeping you?

I, uh, I have to comb my hair. It got all messed up putting on the costume.

Okay, snap it up, sweetheart.

What do you see?

Cost of it.

Look, you're looking at something.

What the hell is keeping her?

Fixing her hair. You know these dames.

Maybe she's a snitch.

Or maybe she's a cop.

Okay, everybody.

That's it. No tests tonight.

Hey, what do you mean?

Thanks anyway, girls.

Hey, Tony. Maybe tomorrow I'll let you know. Just because she's a little slow,

I could talk to her. Man, I want to take everybody back in the van.

Now.

Here's the keys.

I don't know how to get back. I don't know where we are. Out to the highway,

hook a left, you'll make it. Oh, anything you say. I'll get Ginger. Don't

worry about Ginger. I'll drive her home myself.

is clear there's a colony near the lake we're going to check that out now roger

explain

everything now get going

I don't know exactly what's going to happen, but all we need now is a bunch

of witnesses.

So maybe nothing ought to happen.

How's that?

So maybe she's a cop.

So maybe they know where you are. Tony, the police can't do a thing. You know

that. I'm not worried about the police.

Dayton's not supposed to be in the porno business. He was warned about that.

Word gets out he's trying to cut himself, and there's going to be a war,

a hell of a war. And guess who's going to be the first victim?

There she is.

Move!

How far is it to 17?

It should be about any minute now.

I think I'll turn left. That's it!

That's the band, the red band.

So it told me to get in the bed and go. Where is she, tell me?

Two miles down the road.

Sergeant Crowley, please. He's not here.

All right, this is Sergeant Pepper Anderson.

I need help. I don't know where I am, but the number is... Put it down.

Put it down.

Now what happens?

The same thing that happened to the others?

I never wanted to kill anybody.

Can you believe that?

Dolores wanted to quit.

I wouldn't let her. She was too valuable.

She threatened to blow the whistle.

I hit her.

She fell.

It was an accident.

I made it look like it wasn't.

So you know why we had to kill Bregan.

And now you.

I'm sorry.

Put the gun down. No.

Put it down. I'm not finished with this scum yet. You're finished. Put it down.

Give it to me.

Give her the gun.

Give it to her.

Okay. Get down on your feet. Put your hands up. Get your hands on top of your

head. Come on. You'll be okay. We'll get an ambulance.

Come on over here with me.

What's going to happen to you?

This guy?

We'll turn it over to the DA.

Bill, he saved my life.

Well, that kind of answers your question, doesn't it?

What do you want to eat?

I was thinking of the blue moon.

What would anybody think of the blue moon?

You and I cook better than that. The food's lousy. Yeah, well, there's

someone there I want to see.

Marcia Gilmore. She's the new hostess. You're kidding, huh?

Oh, I see.

You set that up, huh?

Well, I've been eating there so long, I figure they owe me something.

You think she'll hang in there, or you think she'll end up back out on the

streets? Oh, my bet is she'll make it.
