Original subtitles

AUGUST BROOKS: Let's see, right.

Let's see, to change the time and date.

August, August, you're not gonna

believe what just happened.

WOMAN: Hi.

Hi.

I was at the crap table, right?

I'm down to my last $100 chip, I'm watching

this guy throw the dice.

And I'm thinking about my next move.

And then all of a sudden, something comes over me,

and I yell, boxcars on the a hop!

August, you listening to me?

Yeah, yeah, you're gonna go catch a train or something.

Not gonna go catch a train.

Anyway, the guy throws a 12 and I win!

You know what, I--

I think I'm gonna go upstairs and change.

Be right back down.

WOMAN: Bye.

CHASE MCDONALD: Bye.

Think I must have the wrong room.

Do you remember her?

Sweet Bonnie Pride.

That is correct.

Serving 20 to life in the federal pen.

You sent her there.

She shot a bank teller in cold blood.

What's it to you?

She was my wife.

Was?

She died with a shank to her belly.

I believe that is the correct prison term.

Well, at her funeral, I vowed that I would hunt

you down and avenge her death.

I see.

Well, if you're going to kill me,

I suggest you do it right now.

And why is that?

Because my partner's on his way up.

He's the ultimate fighting machine.

A 10th degree black belt in aikido

judo, karate, and taekwondo.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he was in the room

right now, blending into the walls,

watching, waiting for precisely the right moment to strike!

Forget this.

God!

I must do everything myself.

Thought you said you were gonna change

before you came back down.

You wanna give me a hand here, please?

I want you to know the warranty doesn't cover

water damage on this thing.

Hi again.

Hi.

[theme music]

[gunshot]

AUGUST BROOKS: For your information,

I was online in a chatroom devoted

to advanced surveillance devices.

CHASE MCDONALD: Ooh, that sounds like a blast.

AUGUST BROOKS: It was.

This woman called me into a private room, you know?

And I--

Whoa, whoa, whoa, private room?

I heard about these private rooms.

Sexy stuff going on there.

She was a detective, McDonald.

I had a very interesting conversation

with the woman about the integrity of the FBI crime lab.

August, you don't have to explain to me,

I know all about that sort of thing.

First you engage the woman in a little sparkling conversation.

Then you find out what kind of perfume she's wearing.

And then, whamo, what are you wearing, darling?

August.com.

You know, not everybody uses the net

for their own perverse pleasures.

Cybersex is a common thing these days.

I'll have you know that both my hands were

on the keyboard at all times.

Uh huh.

[chuckling]

Oh, here we go.

Hey, Richardson.

Hey.

Victim's name is Jeremy Bueller.

26 years old, he, uh, was a bodyguard.

AUGUST BROOKS: One to the forehead, huh?

Yeah.

What I can Make of it, someone rang the doorbell.

He answered and, uh, took one for his effort.

Found this next to the front gate.

AUGUST BROOKS: It's a nice leaf design.

Make sure it gets to the lab.

Any witnesses?

Uh, yeah, the resident of the house Melissa

Morrison found the body.

Melissa Morrison?

Yeah, the one and only.

Wow!

AUGUST BROOKS: Who's Melissa Morrison?

You've never heard of Melissa Morrison?

Name sounds vaguely familiar.

CHASE MCDONALD: Vaguely familiar?

Are you kidding me, August?

Melissa Morrison the actress?

Men throw themselves at her feet,

they grovel for her attention.

And then when they get too close,

[choking sound],, like a black widow.

RICHARDSON: The woman that every man hates to love

and loves to hate.

Are you saying she's killed someone before?

No, not in real life, in "The Widowmaker."

Who can forget her as Tiffany?

You remember when she seduces Richard into her apartment?

Oh, right, and then she pushes Richard away

and she goes for the bottle of wine.

Yeah.

AUGUST BROOKS: Oh, excuse me.

What is "The Widowmaker?"

It's a movie!

Well, that explains everything.

Listen, Siskel, Ebert, the movies

have no bearing on this case, OK?

Anyway, what did our femme fatale have to say?

Oh, I was gonna let you to handle the investigation.

Deal? - Why?

You're the primary.

Oh come on, guys.

I already got three cases open on my desk as it is.

No, I can't handle another one.

- She scares you. - No

Yes.

I can always tell when you're lying,

you always rub your chin.

Can we go talk to your femme fatale now?

Where is she?

She's out back.

Have fun.

A real live movie star.

Nice view.

Miss Morrison?

Yes?

I'm Detective Brooks, this is Detective McDonald.

Hi, Miss Morrison.

You know, I just wanted to say, I

loved you in "The Widowmaker."

Of course you did.

That's it, Benjamin, right there.

Miss Morrison, do you know of anyone who may have held

a grudge against Mr. Bueller?

Any personal problems, any enemies?

We didn't talk, so I wouldn't know.

CHASE MCDONALD: You know, this is

a great place you've got here.

You've got a terrific view.

Where were you at the time of the murders, Miss Morrison?

I had gone down to the beach around 9:00 right

after Benjamin gave me my morning massage.

And you, Benjamin?

I, uh, left before Miss Morrison.

- Was there anyone with you? - No, I--

I was alone.

No bodyguard?

I said I was alone, except when I was leaving

and that pesky little paparazzi in the hawaiian shirt

accosted me outside.

Mommy, mommy, mommy mommy, look

what I made at school today.

Matthew, honey, what are you doing down here?

Please go back upstairs.

Mommy is having a very bad day.

Benji, Benji, look!

Hey, Wow!

I'm impressed.

You're just a little Picasso.

You like it?

I love it.

Why don't you go get some tape and hang it up in your room?

Benjamin I have no idea how I would survive

this whole ordeal without you.

CHASE MCDONALD: I know this must be very

trying on you, Miss Morrison.

Yes, the paparazzi are so very rude.

It's time to turn over If you'll excuse us, gentlemen.

Yes.

Thank you so much for your time, Miss Morrison.

Believe that woman, August?

The paparazzi are so very rude.

I felt like I was in one of her movies.

Me thinks the lady is slightly affected, Mac.

Mac.

Hawaiian shirt, camera.

CHASE MCDONALD: Our paparazzi?

Scuse me, sir?

Is it just me, or is that suspicious behavior?

That is definitely suspicious behavior.

Hey!

Live from Miss Morrison's house--

move, get a camera on them!

I got it!

Paparazzi run like jackrabbits.

Go back and get the car.

My pleasure

Shoot!

You better not be playing Doom during work hours, Brooks.

Not on your life, captain, I am working here.

Hey captain, come here and look at this, look at this.

See captain, most of the tabloid newspapers

have webpages where they list the week's

best pictures and stories.

Now, see here, next to each article

is the author's picture.

So I'm searching through each article

to see if I can find a match for our man.

CAPTAIN JENSEN: Great, I knew there was some reason

I was keeping you around.

OK, Brian Winger works for the Daily Globe on Wilshire.

Apparently he and Bueller into a scuffle about two weeks ago.

Bueller broke his nose in two places.

How'd you know that?

Made a few phone calls.

A few phone calls?

What was the fight about?

Bueller caught Winger peeking into Melissa's bedroom window.

CAPTAIN JENSEN: And the paparazzo

came back for revenge?

Well, he was at the mansion this morning when Melissa left.

It's the best lead we've got right now.

OK, then let's see if we can track down Winger's address.

Here we go.

Great.

Go get him.

Lotta help you are.

292, 4.

Here it is, August, Winger's house.

Ready?

Let's go.

Let's talk to Winger.

Get down!

AUGUST BROOKS: Now I know why everybody hates the paparazzi.

Whoa, whoa!

CHASE MCDONALD: Whoops.

That was what we call a curb, Mac.

No kidding?

Yeah, there's two of 'em, you're supposed

to stay in between.

There goes the hubcap.

I'm gonna pull up alongside.

AUGUST BROOKS: Hey Mac.

CHASE MCDONALD: Yeah?

AUGUST BROOKS: What do you think?

CHASE MCDONALD: I don't know, August.

Shoot him.

You can't shoot him!

All right, um, show him your badge.

All right.

Pull over!

What the-- Mac!

What?

Does this badge look particularly photogenic?

No, why?

He just took a picture of it!

You're kidding!

Pull over!

Idiot!

[engine revving]

Mac.

Yeah?

You know, there's still a lot I'd

like to accomplish in my life.

I mean, I got a lot to live for, you know.

Wife, plus the [inaudible].

Mac, not a good place to park.

Let's get him.

Mr. Winger, you're a paparazzi for the "Daily Globe."

That's one of those tabloid things, isn't it?

BRIAN WINGER: I am a professional photographer, yes.

Right, right.

And what were you doing at Melissa Morrison's house

this morning?

I'm not answering any more of your questions

until you give me my cam.

AUGUST BROOKS: Hey Mac.

August!

AUGUST BROOKS: Look what I got.

Ooh, that is a fancy looking camera.

BRIAN WINGER: Could you be careful with that, please?

I wonder what happens if I open this?

Don't open that.

You're gonna expose the film.

Hm.

What do you think this button does here?

I don't know, push it, find out.

OK, OK, OK, all right, listen.

I was there at the house when she left in the morning.

And after she left?

Schwarzenegger had a clambake in the afternoon.

And he didn't invite us?

He never does.

BRIAN WINGER: You want proof?

I've got a dozen pics of celebrities munching

on calamari and [inaudible].

Are they in here?

BRIAN WINGER: Look-- look, you guys are

talking to the wrong man, OK?

I had no reason to kill Jeremy.

What about the nose?

Comes with the territory.

Well, now you did it.

Melissa Morrison is who you should be talking to.

Why is that?

Well, because she's a killer.

She's every man's fantasy and nightmare

rolled into one perfectly shaped package.

That's only in the movies, Mr. Winger.

BRIAN WINGER: No, no.

The truth is-- the truth is, Melissa and Jeremy

were sleeping together.

But Jeremy decides to do the horizontal hokey pokey

on another woman's dance floor.

Melissa finds out, she's extremely jealous.

Now how do you know this?

I have the pictures.

Melissa Morrison with her hands around Jeremy's neck.

She was screaming, if you ever touch her again,

you will never see the light of another day.

Best love spat ever caught on film.

Surprised you never saw the article.

Well, I think we're done here.

Yeah.

Thank you, Mr. Winger.

BRIAN WINGER: Uh, what about my camera?

I knew it.

I knew it!

Hm.

Well, looks like Miss Morrison might know

more than she's letting on.

Yeah.

But it's too late to go busting down doors tonight, Mac.

Let's question little miss movie star in the morning, huh?

I'm not tired. Let's go now.

Nope.

I got plans tonight, my man.

See you in the morning, Mac.

Plans?

What kind of plans could he have?

He's married.

Oh, August, check this out.

This is a set from "Widowmaker!"

Whoopee.

August, you really gotta to see this movie.

Tiffany plays this super sexy seductress, right?

She gets this guy, Richard, rich oil baron,

to come up to her hotel room.

Things start getting hot and heavy,

and then she goes over right over

there to get a bottle of wine.

She turns around with his revolver--

Are we gonna play act all day, or are we going

to go question Miss Morrison?

CHASE MCDONALD: You're real cranky today, you know that?

Oh, man.

I'm sorry, Mac.

I just didn't get very much sleep last night, all right?

Oh, OK.

You and Kendra, huh?

No, me and the computer.

You stayed up all night with the computer?

Yeah, most of it.

August, think you're getting a little too

wrapped up with this internet thing?

I mean, if you're starting to lose sleep,

it could start affecting your work.

I was working.

I was online with four other detectives trying

to see what kind of information we could

dig up on Miss Morrison's past.

Doing detective work on the internet?

Yeah, what was wrong with that?

I don't know, it just seems so untraditional, impersonal.

Where's the romance?

Since when did you become so traditional?

I don't see you out there with a magnifying glass, Sherlock.

Well, did you get any leads?

No.

Don't say it.

[knocking]

Yes?

Excuse me, Miss Morrison?

You can come in.

I won't bite.

I am-- I must apologize for yesterday,

but uh, the situation must have, um, clouded my vision.

What is it that I can help you with?

Well, yesterday you told us that you hardly

ever spoke with Jeremy Bueller.

Yes.

Yet you were sleeping with him.

Yes.

And he was sleeping with--

Um, could you help me with this, doll?

What's your, uh, your first name?

Chase

What Jeremy and I had, Chase, was hardly a relationship.

It was just, uh, two sexual human beings

living in close proximity.

He was good in bed, but, uh, not so good that I'd kill for it.

Have you, uh, ever had it so good that you'd kill for it?

BENJAMIN BAKER: Miss Morrison?

Um.

I'm sure that you'll make yourself available if we need

to ask you some more questions?

Hm.

I'm, uh, much better with one on one interviews.

You're attracted to dangerous women, McDonald, admit it.

I am not attracted to dangerous women.

Oh yeah, oh yeah?

What about that girl who strapped you to her back

and jumped out of a plane at 20,000 feet?

It's called tandem jumping, August.

We were parachuting.

Ha!

And you parachuted straight into her bed.

Geronimo!

Baby I'm attracted to exciting women.

There's a difference.

But I'm definitely not interested Melissa Morrison.

You know, I have never known you

to shy away from a beautiful woman before, McDonald.

She's a murder suspect, August.

Where are you drawing your conclusions, my man?

We know she was sleeping with her bodyguard,

and they once had a fight.

That is not enough to call her a murderer.

Did you see how she handled that gun?

It was a fake gun, Mac, for actors.

See, that's what you are failing to see here, my man.

She is an actress.

You think she was acting?

Ha!

No, I just think you want to do some more jumping.

Ha!

All right, Captain, here's what we got so far.

Now, the pictures put Brian Winger at Arnold's mansion

at around 10:15 AM.

That's around the time of the murder.

We're still checking that alibi out.

CHASE MCDONALD: Also there's a strong possibility

that Melissa Morrison was having an affair with Bueller,

and Bueller might've been cheating on her.

With whom?

We don't know yet.

AUGUST BROOKS: Of course, killer could

have been some pissed off fan who couldn't get an autograph.

Close.

Not a fan, stalker.

Geez, I hate it when I'm just close, you know?

The lab sent me some transcripts of that notebook

that Richardson found.

Called me as soon as they realized

what they were dealing with.

Those small letters and lack of spaces between the words?

Well, those indicate severe mental illness.

So Judith, do we know what we're dealing with?

A he or she?

Most likely male.

OK.

What's your theory on why he killed Jeremy?

He spells it out.

Listen to this passage.

Dearest Tiffany, Jeremy deserved to die.

He was not good enough for you.

He deserved to die like Richard did.

Who's Richard and who's Tiffany?

AUGUST BROOKS: Oh, they're characters in the "Widowmaker."

Oh yeah, I saw that.

That was a great movie.

He seems to think so.

He's seen it over 60 times.

So what, this guy is killing because he has

a severe crush on the woman?

JUDITH SANDS: According to this book, all

he ever thinks about is being with her.

So what might happen if he approaches?

And she rebuffed his advances?

How would you feel if your entire belief system

came crashing down around you?

And we've already seen his propensity for violence.

If this guy is as dangerous as we think he is,

she's gonna need some protection.

You two take care of that?

Right, Captain.

It's always been you, Richard.

Always.

How about a little nightcap?

Richard.

[gunfire]

[laughter]

Men are so easy.

CHASE MCDONALD: Miss Morrison, this guy is very unpredictable.

We're not dealing with someone who thinks rationally.

Who is he?

We're trying to find out.

Well, you better find out fast because I'm not going anywhere.

What about your son?

He's staying with me.

Look, Miss Morrison--

MELISSA MORRISON: I am not gonna to let

some obsessed fan dictate to me how I run my life.

Besides, Chase, you'll be here to protect me.

Could you, uh, hand me a towel, please?

This towel?

Mhm.

August, I am not spending the night with her.

What's the problem, partner?

The lady wants you to stay and the Captain said

we should take care of this.

Well, the last time I looked, we was you and me.

Yeah, but we don't have a wife to go home to, me do.

Listen, I'll take over for you in the morning, all right?

Have a good time.

Hi.

Honey, come to bed.

In a minute, sweetheart.

August, you said that two hours ago.

Yeah, I know, honey.

But I got all this work to do tonight, and--

honey, hang on, hang on.

Must be this information I've been waiting for.

Wait a minute.

Let me get this straight.

You would rather chat online with your friends

than go to bed with your wife?

Now, honey, wait, hold on.

I'm not chatting online with friends, I'm working here.

Sweetheart, I really do have this case I have to solve.

Oh, well you want to know what, sweetie?

Mhm?

I am so happy you enjoy its company so much.

Considering you're gonna be sleeping with it for a month.

What?

Honey, honey, whoa, Kendra, what?

Damn-- Kendra?

MELISSA MORRISON: It's OK to touch.

What?

The statue.

Oh.

I've noticed that people have a need to touch famous things.

Um, really?

It-- it's a beautiful statue.

Don't you like me, Chase?

Oh, Yeah!

No, I, I-- I, I--

you know what?

I don't think this is such a good idea.

Why not?

Well, I-- I'm here to protect you, and-- and contact

is kind of against the rules.

Maybe a glass of wine will loosen you up?

I can't. I'm, uh, I'm on duty.

You still think that I killed Jeremy, don't you?

No!

No, um, well, I mean, I, uh, did see those pictures of you,

um, strangling him.

You don't know me, you perceive me.

Pardon me?

Page 62, scene 73.

He was helping me rehearse for my next movie.

Matthew used to call him uncle Jeremy.

I could never hurt him.

It's just that sometimes you seem

to play the role in real life.

Yeah, maybe.

Well, well, well.

Let's see.

You feel so tense.

I can't imagine why.

Can you, Chase?

AUGUST BROOKS: Oh my God.

Darling, could you, uh, get me some coffee, please?

Right.

[phone rings]

McDonald.

AUGUST BROOKS: Mac.

Mac, I got him.

I got him!

I don't like that guy.

Why not?

Just the way he looks at you.

CHASE MCDONALD: Got who, August?

AUGUST BROOKS: The stalker, the stalker.

Listen, listen, listen.

There's this design on the front of the notebook, right?

August, slow down.

Do you like him?

[laughing] You do, don't you?

It was Baker.

His real name is Dan Aman.

August, are you sure?

I'm the only one for you, Tiffany.

Tell me I'm the only one for you!

Benjamin?

He's been in and out of nut houses

since he was 18 years old.

He was convicted of stalking some woman down

in Florida three years ago.

We've got to find this guy.

Say it!

[scream]

August, we don't have to find him.

He's here.

Benjamin, you're the only one!

No!

Mommy?

Please God, no!

Benji?

God, no!

Put the gun down!

Drop it!

I said drop it!

Put the gun down!

- Drop it. - Do it!

MELISSA MORRISON: No!

Stay back, stay back!

I'll kill him.

Drop the gun!

What are you doing?

Stay there!

Mommy!

Stay back.

Call 911.

Do it!

Benji?

Black and white, Mac!

Need the car.

All units, this is one William 13,

requesting backup on Mulholland and Laurel Canyon on a 247A

in progress.

So August, how did you figure out it was Baker?

Well, I ran into a dead end, you know, Mac.

So on a lark, I decided to scan that design on the notebook

onto the net.

Well, some guy in Tibet saw it and contacted me.

You mean monks are online now?

Not everybody in Tibet is a monk, Mac.

This guy recognized the design on the notebook

as a muskrata plant.

Get this.

It's a rare herb sometimes used in expensive massage oils.

This led me to the masseur.

CHASE MCDONALD: One, two, three, four.

I count six backup, August.

Remember there's a kid in that van, people.

[crying]

Don't cry, Matthew.

OFFICER (ON RADIO): One William 13, I'm pulling up alongside.

Watch it.

Is he all right?

I don't believe this!

All units, suspect is headed west on Figueroa.

Stop the car!

All units respond.

CHASE MCDONALD: That's right, every available unit.

All right.

Keep us posted.

I should be out there looking for him.

We'll find him, Melissa.

(WHISPERING)Oh, God, please.

[phone rings]

Hello?

BENJAMIN BAKER (ON PHONE): Chase, Darling?

Bring me a cup of coffee, please.

Hello, Tiffany.

What have you done with Matthew?

Oh, Matthew's fine.

I didn't want to take him from you.

MELISSA MORRISON (ON PHONE): Please don't hurt him.

I'll give you whatever you want.

I'm just begging you, please don't touch him.

OK.

Uh, what I want is to see you and that blonde detective

boyfriend of yours alone at Tuttle Films in a half hour.

Bye.

Tuttle Films in half an hour.

He says there can only be one.

One what, Melissa?

He says you have to be there.

I think I know what he wants.

You sure you can do this?

I think so.

Let's do it.

I sure hope this works, partner.

MATTHEW MORRISON: Mom, Benji's acting really strange.

MELISSA MORRISON: Matthew, it's OK, sweetie, OK?

Benjamin, please put down that gun, I'm here now.

I'm what you want.

Let Matthew go.

I can't.

Not yet.

Not Until he's gone.

But he hasn't done anything.

Don't lie to me.

I heard you say his name.

I can be the only love in your life, Tiffany.

Handsome there has to die, like Jeremy.

Benjamin, no.

BENJAMIN BAKER: Now put the gun on the bed.

Good.

Stand over by the mirror.

I know you love me, so I'm gonna give you one

last chance to redeem yourself.

I have a little present for you over in the drawer.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

We're gonna finish this movie, so you know what to do.

- (WHISPERING)Please. - Open it!

Open the drawer.

Pick it up.

Pick it up now!

Good.

Now, We're gonna finish the movie.

You know what to do.

There can only be me and you.

Melissa, we can do this a different way.

Don't fight it, Tiffany.

Don't listen to him, Melissa.

Just do it!

You want me to kill Matthew, huh?

Do it now!

[gunfire]

I knew you'd come around.

You really know how to impress a woman.

The way you touch me, the way you fight for me.

You really turn me on.

I knew you loved me.

There's, uh, only one thing missing, a nightcap.

AUGUST BROOKS: Baker.

Put the gun down.

Come on Matthew, let's go.

AUGUST BROOKS: Put the gun down.

I love you, Tiffany.

Don't.

I always will.

Baker.

[gunshot]

Mac? Mac!

Talk to me, partner.

Mac?

You all right?

Yeah.

All right.

Who keeps coming up with these stupid ideas.

Is that a rhetorical question?

Oh, wow, look.

Your S is missing.

What do you want big fat idiot?

Are you sure you're not too busy with your online friends?

OK.

I love you.

(SINGING)I'm out of the dog house.

Yeah!

Mac?

Yeah?

I'm outta here, my man.

All righty.

Ah, yes.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You're not gonna take your little friend with you?

I don't think so, my man.

You see, tonight, Kendra and I are gonna--

let's just say that tonight three's a crowd, OK?

Later.

My name is Chase.

How are you?

My name is Bruce, what are you wearing?
