Original subtitles

- I'm pregnant.

At first I looked for an abortion,

but Minter talked me out of it.

- A great-looking couple from Vegas

who wanna adopt a baby.

Well, she wants a kid,

and we don't wanna screw up her figure.

- Go right at 'em.

Drop down as quick as you can and go right at 'em, man.

- Hold it!

- What's the matter?

Mr. Higgins!

- What's happening?

- Do something.

- Mr. Higgins! - What's the matter?

- Mr. Higgins!

Mr. Higgins!

Mr. Higgins!

Oh, help us!

- Mr. Higgins!

Mr. Higgins!

Mr. Higgins!

- He won't mind. - Are you ready

for a helicopter ride?

- Are you taking me to the desert for a long weekend?

- No, it's more like the mountains.

A small plane went down about an hour ago near Lambria.

- Drugs.

- Baby peddling.

Maybe, probably. - Huh?

You wanna lay that on me again?

- Well, there were three women aboard and a pilot.

They're all dead.

The whole area is strewn with baby clothes

and yet the women aren't visibly pregnant

and they couldn't find any babies.

I just talked to the DA's office, Shriner.

- Oh, I've switched him off TV a couple of times.

- Yeah, well, he and the department

have been looking into this baby thing for a long time.

He wants...

- Headlines.

Oh, man.

- You're Sergeant Crowley?

- That's right.

- I'm Bosewell, Sheriff's Homicide Bureau.

- Bosewell, this is Sergeant Anderson.

- How do you do?

- I wish my partner looked as good.

The plane's a rental out of San Carlos.

FFA is sending out an investigative team.

Anything on the victims?

- Well, there's a pilot, two young girls,

a third woman not much older.

No survivors, of course.

Here are the IDs.

That's the pilot Higgins,

the two girls.

- They're both from the city.

Student body ID cards.

From different schools.

Across town.

- It's really kind of strange.

Money and maternity clothes all over the place.

Could be connected to that ring

your department's working on.

- How much money did you find?

- Well, I picked up at least $2,000 so far,

mostly $100 bills.

- Bill!

It's Valerie.

- My God.

- Sam.

Do you wanna talk about it, Sam?

- Yeah.

- There were two other girls on the plane with Valerie.

Their names were

Tammy Dean and Marilyn Johansen.

Do you recognize them at all?

- No.

- You see, we think.

- What?

- Well, we think maybe

they may have been involved in a baby-selling ring.

- What are you talking about?

What baby-selling ring?

- We're not sure of anything yet.

But the last time I talked to Valerie

was at your anniversary party, remember?

And she told me how much you both wanted a child,

and she also told me about the problem.

- Yeah, operation.

- Yeah, she told me, Sam.

- She was coming back so good.

- Yeah, I know, I know.

She also,

she mentioned adoption.

- We were on some lists,

some waiting lists, we applied.

- Yeah, that can take a long time.

- Wait a minute, Crowley.

Now, what are you saying here, huh?

Look, there wasn't anything we didn't talk about!

- Sam.

- Sam, will you take it easy?

We're just lookin' for possibilities.

Nobody's suggesting anything.

- Do you know why Valerie was on that plane?

- No.

She said she had the day off.

She was gonna go visit some friends,

drive.

I want in on this with you.

- No way, Sam.

- No way?

Look, this is my wife we're talkin' about!

- Hey, Bill. - Hey, Joe.

- Oh, Sam.

Hey, I'm sorry.

- Yeah, what is it, Joe?

- The civil aeronautics people are upstairs

in the chief's office, he wants to see you up there.

- Okay, tell him I'll be up as soon as possible.

- Well, he'd like to see you up there now.

- Well, your hunch was right.

Both those girls had just given birth.

Now, the Dorin woman was...

- Yeah, we know about the hysterectomy.

Listen, Doc, both girls had given birth how recently?

- Within 48 hours.

- Really?

- What about the pilot?

- His liver was pickled.

He was much more than just a social drinker,

thought the alcohol content isn't at all unusual

in his type, but the traces of chloral hydrate are.

- The pilot was drugged?

- Mickey Finn.

- Enough to have caused the crash?

- Oh, I'd say so, yes.

- Well, I'm sorry, I don't expect him back for, hold on.

He just walked in.

Frank, the call from Mexico on line two.

Thanks, sweetheart.

All right, Wyness, what happened?

Hold on, Frank?

- How did the girls get on the plane?

- I don't know.

They were supposed to go out on a commercial flight.

- Your handling of the Higgins thing was stupid.

You rush into everything headlong.

You're down there to exercise total control.

You don't do that, we're all in the toilet.

You've been there before, Doctor,

and this time I'm not pulling you out.

- I am in control, Frank.

That's why I had to take care of Higgins the way I did.

He was getting greedy and threatening,

and there was a cop's wife down here looking to do business.

She might've been a plant.

I'm telling you, Frank,

I don't want anything even smelling of cops near me

ever again.

- No, I'm telling you.

From now on you clear everything with me, understand?

Until things ease up here,

I'm running both ends of this operation.

- I need another.

- I could use one, too.

- Hey, Sam.

- Hi, Sam.

- Sam, what are you doing here?

- Uh.

I called the bank this morning.

Val, Valerie, the day before yesterday

she withdrew some money from our savings.

6,000.

- 6,000?

- Now, look, Bill,

if she was doing something about getting a baby,

and the pilot was drugged, right?

- Yeah, that's right.

- That means that they killed my wife.

Now ya gotta let me work on this case!

- Sam.

- No, look, now ya see, this is gasoline fill-out sheet

from a Mexicali airport here.

Now, if they're running a baby-selling operation,

it's coming out of Mexico, you see, and I...

- Sam, listen, I just,

I don't want you interfering in this case.

I spoke to Parks.

I'm sorry, Sam, but,

look, as of this morning, you're relieved of all duties,

and they want you to take two weeks off.

- You really should take a rest, Sam.

- How?

How in the hell?

Hmm, tell me.

- Hey, wait a minute, Shriner, wait, now wait a minute.

This distraught guy that you're talkin' about,

the one that keeps buttin' in as you put it,

this is a man whose wife just got killed

in one of the dirties businesses around!

Now, I told him to lay off.

I'm gonna tell you the same thing, Shriner, you lay off.

You lay off my team, you lay off me,

you lay off this whole case, you understand that?

Until we get it cleaned up, okay?

Stupid jerk.

Eric.

- He just wants to get in the papers.

- Yeah, more like the comics.

- You know what really boils my butt?

When this jerk went against the superiors in the primaries,

I voted for him.

- Well, you're weird.

- What is that you're drinking?

- Pumpkin shake.

- I'm weird?

All right, Pepper, let's get crackin' on this thing.

Check out the families and friends of the dead girls,

see what you can come up. - Okay.

- Joe, Pete, cover the pilot, background, plane rentals,

talk to San Diego,

see if they've got anything on illegal flights

across the border, okay?

Let's go. - Got it, got it.

- Can I have a hit of that?

- Oh here, take it.

- Thanks, man.

- Got a meeting upstairs

and then I'm gonna go to the city college

and talk to the people that Valerie worked with.

- Okay.

Bill?

- Yeah?

- Sam needs you.

- Okay, I'll talk to him.

Hello, Sam.

Cindy.

- I'm so sorry.

- Cindy, do you know why she was on that plane?

Did she tell you anything about it at all?

- Oh, Sam.

Please don't hate me.

It's all my fault.

It's all my fault.

- Look,

now whatever happened, I need your help.

Please.

Now was she buying a baby?

- Sam,

she never told you.

- What?

- How miserable she was after the operation.

She wanted to give you a child so badly.

- But, but to buy one.

- Oh God, she was only going down there to look.

Then come back and tell you about it.

- She took money out of the bank.

- Sam, these people don't even talk to you

without seeing money upfront.

- Who are these people?

How'd you find out about them?

- I introduced her to this guy Howard Minter.

Finally made it to the hangar.

- Yeah, wanna take one up?

- I don't know.

Can you fly?

- Sometimes I fly.

- Hi, fellas, greetings.

- Hey, man. - What kind of plane

can I put you in today?

- Well, I'm afraid we're gonna have to skip the plane trip.

We're from the police department.

Where can I see the manager?

- That's me.

Ernie Hernandez.

I'm the manager, pilot, mechanic, whatever you need.

- Take the manager.

- What do ya want?

- Your plane, it went down in Lambia.

Was it November-one-three -seven-Romeo-Quebec?

What can you tell us about it?

- It was bad, but we're insured.

What else is there to tell?

- Your pilot, who was it, Jeff Higgins?

Was he a regular customer of yours?

- Yeah, he rented a lot.

Couldn't keep him out of the sky.

You know, some guys are golf nuts,

Higgins was a flyer.

- How well did you know him?

- I had a drink with him once.

I guess he loved the sauce, you know,

maybe a little too much, but he was a hell of a pilot.

He's ace in the war.

- Oh yeah? - The big war.

- Well, did he ever give you any indications

that he was into something shady?

- Not at all.

Anything else?

- Well, what about flight plans?

Don't ya have to have those?

- They're not mandatory.

Why's that?

- Well, you only file 'em for protection.

If you get lost, they come lookin' for ya,

otherwise this is just like rentin' a car.

You only need to be checked out in a plane

and a different license.

- Howard.

Howard!

- I'll get it.

Okay, you wait here.

Uh,

look, why don't you go, okay, and I'll wait here for him?

- Sam. - No, go on.

Go on, will ya?

Go on.

- She needed the money for school.

It was her last year.

She was so close to getting her degree.

- What about Tammy's parents, Janet.

- She didn't have any.

She didn't have anyone.

That's probably why she got pregnant.

And then she went to Mexico to have her baby,

then to sell it,

and now she's dead.

- Do you have any idea how she made the connection?

- I don't know.

- Where did she get medical care?

- I don't know, she mentioned some clinic on Alamino Street.

- That's a pretty long stretch.

Can you give me... - I don't know, I don't know

exactly where it was.

- Do you mind if I have that picture?

I mean, we looked through her effects,

she didn't even have a driver's license.

- She couldn't afford a car.

- Okay.

May I help you?

- Yes, I'm with the police department,

and I'm Sergeant Anderson.

I'd like to see the medical records

of a girl who might've been a patient here recently.

- Yes, certainly.

What's her name?

- Her last name is Dean, Tammy Dean.

She was killed the day before yesterday in a plane crash

with three other people.

- Oh, yes, I read about that.

I don't recognize the name.

Of course, there were a few who used,

what is it, aliases.

- Would this help?

This is her picture.

- Sergeant, I'm head nurse here and I know all of the girls,

and I've never seen this one before.

- How 'bout this one, Marilyn Johansen?

- Was she the other girl in the crash?

- Yes.

- I know I'm no help to you at all,

but she's never been here either.

I'm sure you've tried other clinics in the area.

- A couple so far.

- I don't know what to say,

except that if I get some information from some of the girls

or friends of mine at the other clinics,

I'll certainly let you know. - Would you?

- I will.

May I have your card? - Yes, of course.

That'll be a big help.

- It's no trouble, believe me.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Jeanie.

- Hello.

You Miss Lewis?

- Yes.

- I'm Bill Crowley from the police department.

I'm a friend of Sam Dorin's.

I'd like to talk to you about Valerie.

Do you mind?

- All right.

- Can I sit down?

Yes.

- You see, we're investigating Valerie's death.

I thought maybe...

- Look, I already told Sam everything I know.

- When did you talk to Sam?

- Just awhile ago.

- Where, here, was he here?

- Yes.

- Where is he now?

- I took him to see the man

who arranged the plane flight for Valerie.

- And what happened?

- He wasn't there.

- Where's Sam now?

- Waiting for him.

I told him I didn't think it was

a good idea. - What's the address?

1400 Bundeen Circle.

- 50-52 requesting black-and-white assistance,

1400 Bundeen Circle.

- You got two choices, Minter.

Okay, either you take me to the head peddler,

or you can take your last breath.

Come on, I said it!

Now you gonna take me to your scum friends?

I don't know what you're talkin' about.

Look, I'm gonna call the cops!

I am the cops!

Now what is it gonna be?

You got a car?

- It's out back.

- Let's move it!

- Hey, guys.

I'm Sergeant Crowley.

Look, here's what's happening.

We may have a little trouble in 328.

Do me a favor, take the rear here, but if anybody comes out,

hold 'em, don't shoot anybody.

I don't want anybody hurt.

- Get it open.

Go on!

Go on, up, you drive!

- Sam!

Sam!

Get an ambulance!

- How's Sam?

- He's fighting hard.

Oh, I'm sorry, this is Sergeant Pepper Anderson.

Cindy Lewis.

- Yes, hi, we met at Val's that time.

- This is so crazy.

Minter said he was helping people, not hurting anyone.

- Cindy,

how did you get involved in all this?

- I'm pregnant.

He's married.

At first I looked for an abortion,

but Minter talked me out of it.

He said he could help me and other people.

- How?

- He said he knew this agency that could place the baby,

give me free medical care, a trip to Mexico.

They'd pay all the expenses and.

- And?

- And they'd pay me $1200,

which like most everybody else, I can use.

I mean, I know that's a crass way of putting it, but.

- This agency, what's it called?

- Lifeline.

- Lifeline.

What do you know about 'em?

- I've heard they place the babies in good homes,

couples with money, mainly here in Southern California

and in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada.

They'll even fly babies anywhere.

- What are you doin' here?

Did anybody see you come in?

- No, listen, I need help.

I gotta get outta here.

Man, look, I just shot a cop.

- You what?

Are you crazy, man?

The heat's crawlin' all over the place because of the crash.

- Look, you gotta get me outta town.

- Yeah, yeah, I sure do, come on.

- You must appreciate the delicacy of the situation, Phil.

We offer a very special kind of service

with extremely fragile merchandise.

And in the current market of conditions,

prices bottom out at $10,000,

and that's rock bottom.

When were you thinking?

Excuse me, Phil.

Hernandez is on line one.

He says it's an emergency.

- What is it, Ernie?

- Yeah, boss, it's Minter, he killed a cop.

- Where is he now?

- He's in the storeroom.

He wants to get outta town.

Okay.

Fine.

- Come on, Phil,

let's breathe some life into this situation, hmm?

Is it okay?

- Yeah, everything's fine.

- Oh, man.

I don't care where they put me.

- You okay?

- I can't tell how for nearly four months

I've hated going back to this empty apartment.

- Cindy,

why didn't Valerie arrange to adopt your baby?

- Val and I talked about it,

but we were afraid we were too close,

and she thought I might want it back some day.

- Think that might've happened?

- I don't know.

- That's how this rotten business gets started.

It starts with bewildered, frightened, young girls like you,

pregnant girls, and can end up with lifelong victims.

- I'm not a victim.

- Well, maybe you're not,

but what about the babies?

What about all the babies who can't protect themselves?

They're bought and sold,

sometimes with less care than livestock.

Let's face it, Cindy,

the bottom line is it's no different from slavery.

- Crowley, yeah?

Good, put him on.

Pep, come here, I want you to hear this.

Sergeant Crowley.

Lieutenant Garcia here.

I have some of the information that you wished.

- Fine, Lieutenant, listen, I put you on the speakerphone,

because I got Sergeant Anderson here.

She's listening in.

She's workin' on the case with us.

- Fine, fine.

First, you were right.

Higgins had several drinks at the airport bar

before the flight.

There were a few people there that could've placed the drug

in his drink.

Second, one man recalls that Higgins was seated at the bar

with a young woman when he was approached by two other

American girls who asked him to take them along.

- You mean they just hitched a ride?

- Apparently.

Their plane was delayed,

and since Higgins knew them, he agreed.

- Anything else?

- There have been rumors

about the sale of babies in this are.

We will continue to investigate.

- Okay, Lieutenant, thanks very much.

We'll be looking forward to hearing from you.

Sergeant Crowley.

- Well, looks like we're gonna have to build ourselves

a bridge between here and Mexicali.

- Pepper,

now picture this.

A great-looking couple from Vegas

who want to adopt a baby.

- Us.

- Us.

- Okay, so I'm a showgirl from Vegas and you're?

- I'm your very rich husband.

- Hmm.

- Let's see, I own motels, lots of 'em.

- Waterbeds?

- No, this is a class act.

- Okay, so how do we duke ourselves in?

- I'll contact Las Vegas PD, get a rundown

on one of the agency's fly-by-night operations,

get the background and just try to cold duke him.

- What about names?

- Names?

I'm Tom Rolston and you're my wife Melissa.

- Melissa?

Nah, there was one in high school,

she got away with the football captain.

- How's Bernice grab you?

- Bernice?

- Well, when I was captain of the high school football team,

Bernice used to grab me. - Yeah, Bernice, okay, okay.

Bernice.

- Mr. Armitage's office.

- Mr. Who?

- Armitage.

- Oh, I must've dialed the wrong number.

I wanted the, what is it, Tom?

It's the Lifeline Agency, honey.

- The Lifeline Agency.

- Who's calling, please?

- Are you sure I have the right number?

This is, I'm Mrs. Rolston, Bernice Rolston

calling from Las Vegas.

And, are you sure I didn't dial the wrong?

- You have the right office, Miss Rolston.

- Oh, it's Mrs.

- Is there something that we can do for you?

- Yes, we're interested in getting a baby.

- I see.

- Tom and I hear that you are a placement outfit

agency, right?

- Mrs. Rolston, may I ask, by whom were you referred to us?

- The Helping Hand people here in Vegas.

They say that you help out in situations like this,

couples who are anxious to have a baby.

- Yes.

We're unique in that we can avoid the usual complications

and delays.

Of course, we would have to meet with you and Mr. Rolston.

- No problem.

You can send somebody here anytime you want to,

and we'll be glad to talk to them.

- I'm afraid it has to be the other way around.

We always interview our clients here.

- Tommy.

- Yeah, honey?

- They want us to go see them.

- Oh, why's that, honey?

- It's their policy,

and they're not gonna send a baby here.

Well, you tell 'em I'll fly my plane down there

and pick him up myself, honey.

- Honey, please.

- Oh,

I guess so.

- Tommy says wonderful.

- Good.

If you can give me your phone number

and address in Las Vegas,

Mr. Rolston's occupation, things like that,

and when it would be convenient for you to fly out

and discuss the details.

Mr. and Mrs. Rolston,

Frank Armitage, the head of our agency.

- Mr. Armitage, I'm Tom Rolston.

- Pleasure to meet you,

Mr. Rolston. - Pleasure's mine, sir.

And this here

is Mrs. Rolston. - Hello.

- Real pleasure.

- Thank you.

- Well, can I make you a drink?

- I could go for a little straight scotch.

- Please, make yourself comfortable.

- Honey, one for me, too?

- You sure, sweetheart?

- Yeah. - You know how you get.

Better make that two.

Better make hers on the rocks.

- Of course.

How was your flight?

- Bumpy.

- Well, perhaps these will help.

Let's see, that's one straight, there you go,

and one on the rocks.

- You make a heck of a bartender there, Mr. Armitage.

- Thank you.

- Here's to the little mother.

- Oh, you're so sweet to me.

- It's 'cause you're so sweet to me.

- Well, how come you're not sweet to me like that, partner?

- You got a few things missin', buddy.

Really.

So when do we get to see them, where are they?

- The babies?

Oh, they're at a clinic some distance from here,

and of course there are certain things

that we'll have to attend to first,

certain screening processes.

- There weren't supposed to be any complications.

- Well, I'm sure you can understand there are

certain problems. - Okay, Mr. Armitage.

How much?

- Well, now that of course depends upon your needs.

- Well, she wants a kid,

and we don't wanna screw up her figure.

- A boy.

- Oh yeah, it's gotta be a boy.

And let me tell ya somethin', it's gotta be from good stock,

no runts or rannies, you know what I mean?

- We're very careful.

- Uh-huh.

How much?

- 30,000, half in advance.

- Please, honey.

- Well, it better be a winner.

- I'm sure you'll be very pleased.

- Yeah, how soon can you put it together?

- I'll begin immediately.

Meanwhile, I'll have ya driven back to your hotel.

Well, that was short and sweet.

Thanks for the drink.

- My pleasure.

- Just do the best you can, all right?

I gotta get back to Vegas.

- Of course. - Come on, Bernie.

- Thank you, thank you so much, Mr. Armitage.

- Bye. - Thank you.

- Honey.

- Oh, sorry.

- Wow.

- They smell good for it, Rita.

I want you to handle this personally,

while I check them out from top to bottom.

Go with them.

- Thank you.

- There you go.

- Here we go, sweetheart.

- Good morning.

- Hello.

- Good morning.

Morning.

- Great day for a flight, isn't it?

Yeah, the weather's cleared up very well.

It's like back home.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Is that the plane we're flying in?

That's the plane.

Kind of small, isn't it, honey?

- Oh, it's a first-class airplane.

- Is that the regular plane you use all the time?

- That's the one, yep.

Did you bring the envelope, as they say?

- Yeah, it's hot off the press.

- Brand-new, fresh, crisp $100 bills.

- Very impressive.

- Yeah, well, I don't mess around.

- Neither do we.

Mrs. Vaughn will go with you and make sure that your trip

is both pleasant and rewarding.

Have a pleasant flight.

- Thank you. - Okay, thanks very much.

- Oh, Ernie, let's get this very good project

off the ground.

- Shall we go?

- This is the regular plane you use, huh?

- We're lucky to have Ernie on this flight.

He's from Baja, California

and knows the area thoroughly.

- Yes, but can he fly?

- Ah, they're coming after all.

- Who's that?

- Our chief nurse and two of our expectant mothers.

They'll be traveling with us.

- Honey, I just have to get off my feet.

Will you help me into the plane?

- Sure, watch your head.

What's the matter, baby?

- The driver is the head nurse from one of the clinics.

She can blow this whole thing.

- Did you get your dark glasses?

- Yeah, give me your bag. - Do that.

- Oh hi, Rita.

Hello.

- Mary, Helen, come on. - Hello, girls.

- I want you to get onboard now.

You're gonna have a great trip.

Everything is gonna be just fine, ya hear?

We gotta take good care of them,

Rita. - Of course.

Oh, Mrs. Harris, this is Mr. Rolston.

Girls!

- How do you do? - Happy to know you,

Mr. Rolston. - Nice to know you.

- Was that your wife I saw just getting on the plane?

- Yes, ma'am, why?

- Because no matter whichever baby she chooses,

I know she's gonna be very pleased,

and if she's not,

I'll hear from her as soon as you both get back.

- Aren't you going with us?

- Me?

Oh no, I'm scared to death of anything smaller than a 747.

- That's too bad.

It's nice meeting you.

- You'll be on your way just as soon as I get

this luggage onboard.

- Here, let me take care of that for ya.

- Oh, well thank you very much.

- Believe me, it's my pleasure, ma'am.

- You have a nice trip.

- At these prices, it better be.

She's a nice lady.

- Oh, I'm sorry I didn't get to meet her.

- Me, too.

- Everybody comfortable?

- We're all ready.

Air detection, please.

- Well, I have to give the Feds credit,

they got a good set of mechanical ears.

- Give me the radar room, please.

- Lieutenant Garcia.

- Huh?

- About how far south is it effective?

- Oh, we could track them to Panama if we have to.

Hello?

- Hello, this is Lieutenant Garcia in Mexicali.

Yes, Lieutenant, this is radar in San Diego

we expect the transfer in about 20 minutes.

- What do you have on our surveillance aircraft?

If they're heading south,

we'll give them to you as soon as they get

south of the border.

- Right.

Well, we can expect the transfer

to San Diego center in about 20 minutes.

And it won't be long now, gentlemen.

Radar shows him southbound.

LAX center will transfer them to us

just west of San Clemente,

and then we will know this place where they sell babies.

- Hey, hey, well, this is nice.

- It's good to be back on the ground.

- Yeah.

- Are you feeling better?

- Oh yeah.

- Are ya, honey, how's that flat little tummy?

Not queasy? - Well, we're lucky, you know,

we had such a smooth flight.

Sometimes coming over the hills, it's really very bumpy.

- Oh yeah? - Well, it was pretty bumpy

there for a minute, but I'm all right.

- I'll show you your accommodations.

- Thank you. - Miss Vaughn.

- Yes. - May I speak to you

for just a moment, please?

- Of course.

- Please, forgive me.

- Why don't you folks wait for me inside?

- We'll do that.

- Yes, now.

- I think Alice would top 8.5 on the breathalator.

- She must know the pilot.

Only way to fly.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hi, how are you?

- Radar reports a plane has landed at these coordinates,

in this vicinity.

That's about a 20-mile area.

- Well, that sure narrows it down.

- My pilot and I know it very well.

We will find it.

- He sure takes his time.

- He's a very busy man.

- Well, so is Tom.

- Honey, if the man is busy, the man is busy,

so cool it, will ya? - I'm sorry to have

kept you waiting.

I'm Dr. Wyness, chief of the medical staff here.

- Doctor, this is Mr. Rolston. - Well, Dr. Wyness,

I'm Tom Rolston.

- It's a pleasure.

I hope your accommodations are comfortable.

- They're fine.

This here's Mrs. Rolston.

- Pleasure.

- Bernice, my name is Bernice.

- As I explained, they're interested in getting

a very special baby.

- Well, the best way to select one is with your heart.

Well, what do you say, Bernie?

You get the pick of the litter.

- Well, honey, my heart just doesn't see anything I like.

They all kinda look like prunes.

- What do ya say, Doc, is this it?

- Well, it takes about two weeks for 'em to fill out

and have that beautiful look that we're all so used to.

- But two of our girls are due tonight or tomorrow.

- Good, we'll see how well they do.

- But you must understand, Mrs. Rolston,

all newborns look pretty much alike.

- Well, you must understand, Miss Vaughn,

my wife just doesn't want any of these,

so we'll wait around for the right little fella,

okay? - That's right.

What do we do around here?

I feel like a burrito, honey.

Are there some sights we could see?

- What is there to see, Doc?

- Well, perhaps you'd like to see our beach.

It's lovely.

- Could we, honey?

- Yeah, we could go walk on the beach.

- Alice, would you?

- Yes, let me show you the way.

Please, follow me.

- Thanks, Doc.

- See you later.

- Okay, hotshot,

now that we got rid of the nursie,

you wanna tell me what all that

eyeballing was about between you and

the doctor? - Yeah, I'll tell ya.

The doctor and I know each other.

He hasn't placed me yet, but he's working on it.

Big surprise, he's a wholesale butcher

who got his license yanked about six years ago,

had an abortion clinic in the Valley

and quite a few of his patients died.

- You helped nail him?

- Small world, huh?

- Hope it's small enough for Pete and Joe to find us.

- Mr. Rolston, Mrs. Rolston!

Yeah?

- Doctor wanted me to tell ya.

- Oh, one of the girls is having a baby?

- No, not yet.

We gotta let nature take its time,

but he was worried about you being bored.

You know, he didn't want that to happen,

seein' how important ya are.

He thought maybe you and the missus would like

to go out on the boat and see the bay.

- Yeah, sure, that sounds good.

- All right, let's. - Okay, follow me.

- It's beautiful out here, isn't it?

- Yeah, just like in movies.

Ah, the wind, the sky, the spray ruining my hair again.

- The sharks.

- What?

- These waters are full of sharks.

- Oh, you're kidding.

- I'm not kidding.

- He smiles like one.

I'm just glad Dr. Frankenstein

didn't recognize ya.

- Maybe I'm not that memorable.

- I'd be very embarrassed to have you think that,

Sergeant Anderson.

You're most memorable.

Even after these many years, six isn't it?

Six very long years,

but that's a unpleasant reminiscence.

Unfortunately, you've intruded into my exile, prosperous,

but sometimes lonely exiled.

Now, I'd appreciate it if you'd turn around.

Now, turn around.

Walk.

Don't stop.

- Go right at 'em.

Drop down as quick as you can and go right at 'em, man.

- Hold it.

Hold it.

- Throw me that line, Pep.

- Looks all right now.

Hey, Pep, hang on.

- It's really kinda pretty here.

Sam, I didn't tell ya,

they found Minter's body washed up on a beach.

Listen, I know it's no consolation to you,

but we got an airtight case against the rest of these guys,

for sure.

- Bill,

you and Pepper,

at least it'll happen that much less.

- Let's hope so.

- Thanks.

- It's a hell of a problem.

- How are you feeling?

- Okay.

- Have you made a decision yet?

- No.

He made it for me.

He kicked for the first time today.
