You're listening to KXOB, Ocean Beach, where constancy is the spice of life.

Loan me $1,000.

Yeah, okay.

I'm thinking about buying new towels.

- You want to be a dryer person? - I think, maybe.

I tell you about what happened to me last night? Did I?

Did I tell you?

Tell me.

I couldn't sleep. You know, I don't know why.

It wasn't like I had a nightmare or anything. I just couldn't.

So I got up in the middle of the night to get a glass of milk, and I went to the fridge,

and I took the milk carton out... but it was empty.

- For a short story, that kind of went on a bit. - Senility, you know. Not only do I not remember

putting it back in the fridge empty, I don't even remember finishing it.

Oh, God.

Is that him?

- Christ. - Hey, that is not a small man.

Remind me again, how much we're getting paid on this?

I'll tell you after.

Oh, hey. Need your help with something.

- Tune popped into my head this morning... - Oh, no, come on.

- Please don't, man. - For the life of me, I can't remember the name.

I'm hung over. I'm asking nice. I'm asking really nicely.

Stop it. Quit.

Goddamn it! Now it's going to be stuck in my head all through this.

Good. Let's go.

Winston, stay.

- Yeah. - Hey... is it cool I go around back?

I'm the pool cleaner.

- This is 3520 Casa del Mar? - Yes.

- You have a pool needs cleaning? - Do not have a pool.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I'm sorry... can I... My cell phone crapped out on me, and I... can I use your phone just to

- make a call, find out where I'm supposed to be? - No, no prob. No worry... no, come on, come on.

Thanks. Wow, nice pad you got here.

Come on, come on.

- Come on, come on. - You married?

Not that I know of.

My wife leaves, and all she does is bitch that I won't

let her take any furniture. So I said to her, "You want it,

Hey, Martha, yeah. I'm over here at 3520 Casa del Mar, and...

there's a bit of a problem. Uh, sorry?

Oh, 3520 Costa del Madre.

Yeah, that's a bit different. That's right.

Okay. Okay.

All right, you're a peach. Thanks so much. Hey, sorry. Thank you.

No problem.

Remind me again, how much we are getting paid for this?

It's my dry cleaner's dog, she said we bring it in and for next two weeks, no charge.

Come on, what else are we going to do today, cure cancer?

Maybe.

- That's my dog! - Time to go.

- What do you think you're doing? - Get in.

- Get over here! - Go, go, go, go, go!

Winston!

Come back! I'm going to get you guys!

- That was fun, right? - Your dry cleaner's dog?

What do you own that could possibly need dry cleaning?

Terriers E01 - "Pilot"

~ Adjustments and timings: Dreumex ~ ~ www.SubCentral.de ~

The projects developer Robert Lindus...

Please tell me you washed your hands.

- That's couth. How's our client? - Stuck at work.

Store policy... she can't have pets there. We got to hold him till 7:00.

What the hell are we going to do all day with a dog to babysit?

Oh, Gretchen? No, no, don't answer, okay?

I postdated this month's alimony check, and she's...

Gretchen!

What are you wearing?

Well, no. He's not here right now, but...

I take a message?

Yeah, stop waving his hand in front of his throat?

I'll tell him.

Sorry, Man.

What is up? That's so weird. I was just about to call you.

- Geez, you look terrific. - Yeah, you don't.

Yeah, well, sad news... my Pilates instructor died.

- How'd you find us? - There are only so many places you go, Hank.

Listen, I realized I wrote June on the check the second I put it in the mailbox.

I felt flattered you got the year right.

The moment I get home, I'm going to write out another check,

- but if you need cash, I got $200 or... - No, no. That's not why I'm here.

Mickey Gosney called the house this morning, half out of his head from jail.

- Mickey's in jail? - He got arrested last night

on a drunk and disorderly. Cops found a gun on him.

He figured you still had friends on the force and could help him out.

I didn't have the heart to said to him straight.

You know,

I wish you'd inform your drinking pals that we don't live together anymore.

It's been a year already.

Are you sure he said jail and not the tank? Okay. Thanks, Gretch.

Wait, there's one other thing.

I'm putting the house up for sale.

What?

Why? You... love it there.

It's time...

I made a change.

The first open house is today. I just thought you should know.

I'd better run.

All right. Thanks, Gretch.

She looked good... Gretchen.

Yeah.

- Divorce becomes her. - Thanks.

Later, let's talk about that really painful thing that happened to you once and

it hurts to think about, okay?

- So, how do you know this guy? - We train for triathlons together.

- How do you think I know him? - So, you got clean and he didn't.

I wish I knew you when you were a drunk. I bet you were so much more fun then.

Yeah, fun like prison.

Thanks for making the stop. I feel much better.

- Mickey, what the hell is going on? - You remember my... my daughter, Elenore?

My little girl?

- It's been a lot of years, Mick. - We haven't seen each other for a while 'cause...

You know.

Anyway, she calls me out of the blue yesterday.

Says she's in some kind of trouble, needs money.

- Like... that kind of trouble? - No.

She sounds scared.

I tell her, "Sure, I... I can scrounge up a few hundred bucks. "

She asks about a .38 I had from back in the day. Can she borrow it?

I was on my way when the goddamn cops busted me, Hank.

I was on my way to help my little girl.

Mickey, listen.

I'm sure she's fine.

You can... you can find her Hank, that's what you do.

Can you find my Ele?

And... and... and give her this money.

And tell her...

Tell her her dad tried.

Make sure she's safe.

I can't. I just can't.

You remember this girl at all?

I don't know. Maybe she was in the car once when I was pouring her dad

in the backseat drunk or I was getting poured in drunk, but that would've been years ago.

Let me see the money.

- Smells like gym class. 16, right? - Yeah.

Wait. Hey...

What?

Mother... lover.

- Yeah? - Elenore?

Not here.

Do you know where she might be?

Who wants to know?

- Friends of her father's. - Private investigators.

Both.

Look, I haven't seen Elenore in, like, a week, and I had to pay this month's rent solo.

Do you have any idea where she might have gone?

If I tell you, will you do me a favor?

Slide it up against that back door.

Burglar broke in a few nights ago while I was at work.

Landlord said it'd take a week to get the locksmith out here

and I'd have to pay for it.

- I said, "Thanks anyway. " - Ah, Christ.

Elenore's dad thought she might be in some sort of trouble. You know anything about that?

- You mean trouble like...? - No.

So, you two weren't close?

I mean, we met on Craigslist. We weren't like sorority sisters or anything.

This is Elenore?

Well, you said you had some idea of where she might be, though?

No. I just needed help moving the stove.

Just 'cause she got an overnight parking ticket doesn't mean she spend the night here.

Maybe... maybe she was a daddy's girl, maybe she got drunk and couldn't drive.

And parked her car here?

- It's a safe neighborhood. - Hey, come on.

- Come on, Winston. - Hey, what are you doing with him?

I need a partner that can keep up with me mentally.

Come on. Come on! Come on!

Winston, come on.

Come on. Go! Go!

Go! Go!

- Tony? - No, no, it's not Tony.

Listen, my... my dog... My dog is stuck in your yard.

Hundred bucks say the people here employ a live-in Mexican maid.

Since when did you get so jaundiced?

Since when did you start using the word "jaundiced"?

Nice, Ty. Try again, but keep your head down, okay?

- May I help you? - Sorry. Our dog wandered down through your gate,

- and we're just looking for him. - What kind of dog?

- Is everything okay, Esther? - Si, Mr. Lindus.

Sorry to disturb you folks. It's just that we were walking our dog,

and he slipped through your gate.

Wait a second. You're Robert Lindus.

Right, I was watching you on the news today. Looking forward to that new... whatchamacallit.

- Montague Resorts. - Yeah, I read about it in all the papers.

Well, the one, anyway.

Well, I hope you come and enjoy it when it's done.

Well, I'll have my assistant make reservations.

Hey, you happen to know a girl named Elenore Gosney?

She got a parking ticket across the street, like, a month ago.

Yeah, she works for me.

Tyler, why don't you work on your follow-through? I'll be back in a few minutes, okay?

My son's competing in a tournament next month, and his

golf coach Tony's MIA today.

- What are your names? - I'm Hank Dolworth and this is my partner

Britt Pollack. We're private investigators.

Well, I didn't take you two for men who'd own a dog together.

You get my meaning.

Can I see a license maybe or something?

We found that by not working with them, we never have to worry about losing them.

And so you're looking for Elenore?

Her father asked us to out of concern. He felt that she might be in some sort of... Predicament.

Oh. Well, I... I haven't seen her in over a week.

He can't be paying you anything.

Her father, I mean. I know Elenore well enough to know her dad's a deadbeat.

How long have you employed her?

A little over a year. She was running the office, and then here at the house doing odds and ends.

How's your search going so far?

To be honest, we only started about an hour ago.

I take it you have her cell number?

Well, come on.

I have, uh, been trying

this number all week and have not been able to reach her.

Maybe you'll have better luck.

Thanks.

Uh...

Can I confide something in you Gentleman?

Of course.

When last I spoke to Elenore, she mentioned possessing something valuable to me.

She sent me a copy of it. What it is is material. It just, uh...

Well, the point is, I... I want it back, the original.

I'm sorry. Is this something you own that she has?

Not exactly.

I'll tell you what. You guys are doing a good deed, right?

Why don't I make it worth your while?

- What is your normal daily rate? - $5,000 a day.

Two-day retainer minimum.

I will double your minimum retainer...

$20,000.

Find Elenore...

make sure she's okay,

and bring back this... item, and tell her I'm happy to pay whatever she'd like for it.

Do that and you'll have another check like this waiting for you.

We'll do everything we can.

I can't believe you said $5,000. The man paid it, didn't he?

Thank you.

Thank you.

- You think it's a sex tape? I think it is. - Do you think he was sleeping with her?

Uh, yeah, definitely.

Hi, this is Elenore. I can't talk right now, but leave a message. What are you gonna,

what are you gonna do with the money? Pay bills, probably?

I'm not gonna do that, but, what are you gonna do?

- Buy a new polo pony. - You think Elenore's working an angle on Lindus?

That's a lot of castle up on the hills split in two if his wife found out.

- I don't know. Let's find her and ask her. - Take a right up here.

Okay. Where, where are we going?

Places.

Hey, this is your old place.

- Gretchen selling it? - It's what the sign says.

Oh, well, signs can lie.

Oh, wow, she did a ton of work to this place. Look, put in new floors.

Nice. Do you have any questions about the property?

Just one: If I were to put this down as a deposit, how fast could I get these yokels out of here?

Stop pouting. It makes you look like Winston. I mean it. Good boy.

What are you doing buying a house?

You can barely afford lunch today. How can you pay for a mortgage?

- That check was half mine! - As is half of the deposit on the house now.

- Supervisor. How can I help you? - Oh, I'm supposed to live with you, too, now?

- Katie's gonna love that. - Detective Reynolds, OBPD Robbery/Homicide.

I'd like to triangulate a cell signal, please. I'll need clearance I.D.

"973658... 004".

Okay, Detective Reynolds, what cell phone number would you like tracked?

Yes, Thank you. The number is...

- Leave the dog. Take the cannoli. - What?

OBT gave a signal location a few hundred yards down that way. Said Elenore's phone is on & idle.

Okay, if this property is for sale, you intent for purchasing, right?

All right, let's say Elenore was sleeping with Lindus, okay?

And she had a sex tape of him and she was scamming him. That's still no reason to ask

- daddy for cash and a pistol. - What are you talking...? Yeah it is.

If her apartment got broken into three nights ago, but... but nobody

- took anything, they just tossed shit around? - Wait. Are you suggesting it was Lindus?

I'm not suggesting. I'm saying it was Lindus or some lackey.

- You know, someone he paid? - Lindus is worth tens of millions of dollars.

He could pay Elenore off with the money he spends on hair mousse.

All right, now, if you were a girl running away,

which lifeguard tower would you hide out in?

Huh? Easiest 40K we ever made.

Squandered.

Elenore Gosney! Allie allie oxen!

What?

Bad thing.

- Oh, God... - Someone shot this guy point blank.

Don't touch him! Don't touch him. Does he have I.D. on him?

- Which?! Check for I.D. or don't touch him?! - Check. Check.

Is it Elenore's?

- Dude, we gotta get the hell out of here. - Come on. Come on.

Here, you hold it.

- What the hell are we gonna do? - Okay, we never saw that.

- It never happened. - Hey, hey, hey, that's our truck!

- You were in a "permit only" zone. - Where? Where does it say that?

You can reclaim your vehicle at the city impound Have a great day.

Hank...

Winston was in the truck. We are so boned.

Sorry to disturb you, ma'am. Especially around the dinner hour.

- Yeah, I'm actually in the middle of making it. - I'm canvassing the neighborhood on behalf of a

charity called "Tomes for Tots," where we collect used books from

everyday folks such as yourself, and we donate them to local private schools so that white

privileged children won't miss any opportunity or advantage.

- You lost your keys. - Yeah, uh, and Hank's truck.

Tell your BFF I cooked for three.

- Soup's on, Man! - Keep the change.

- I asked Britt, and he said you had a big test. - I do, I got a big test tomorrow.

- On equine dentistry. - No shit.

Yeah, did you know that mares are twice as likely to suffer from gum disease as stallions?

- Now, mares... that's female horses, right? - Hence "the old gray mare,

- she ain't what she used to be." - Did you guys know that bears,

since the very beginning of their existence, shit in the woods?

So you guys do anything today?

Yeah. Yeah. Sure, yeah, we did stuff.

- I saw Gretchen. - Oh, no way.

- How is she? - She's selling her house.

Your old place?

- I thought she loved it there. - Me, too.

So, you know what I did?

You know, you guys wanna have secrets, that's fine but... you want to giggle about it

like boys, I prefer you take it out back to the tree house.

Baby, we should totally build a tree house! We should build a tree house, right?

Hey, what the hell are we gonna do? Wonder if this thing can shave me.

What the hell are we gonna do? Go get our truck back.

And if someone saw us leave the lifeguard station? Someone's gonna find that body sooner or later.

No one saw us.

We need to toss that thing in the ocean first chance we get.

Ties us to a crime scene, belongs to a girl who yesterday

asked her dad for a piece, and was found today on a guy with his face shot off.

Wanna help out your boozehound pal's little girl? Drop that thing in the drink as quick as possible.

Do you really think that this little girl is capable of that mess?

Uh, as you like to remind me all the time, I'm not paid to think.

But yeah, I do. I also think I don't want to go to jail for obstruction of justice.

Hey, I wasn't done with that.

Yes you are.

Sorry. This pasta again.

Write what you know, cook what you can't burn.

Did I ever tell you, back during my cop days, when we would answer an abuse call,

we would pull the lady aside and we would offer to beat the shit out of her dude for 50 bucks.

50?

Yeah. But for you, you get the good friend discount of 40.

Hey, is there, um, is there something going on between you two you want to talk about?

- He didn't mention anything? - No, but I, uh, smelled it on him all day.

I want to have a baby.

- Right here, right now? - Yeah, sooner rather than later.

And, uh, what does laughing Boy say about that? He says he's not ready to pull the goalie.

You know, it's been really fun

living in Never Never Land with you two, but I got to become a real person one day.

- Hank! Pooch is waiting! - All right, I'm coming!

Listen, be patient, okay? He's young.

I'm sure by the time he's like, oh, say, 90, he'll pull his head out of his ass.

Yeah. With you as a role model.

Um... I'm... I'm sorry.

For what it's worth, I think you'd make a spectacular mother.

Thanks for dinner.

- Oh, God, I hate this thing. - Why, 'cause it's dangerous?

It's just so butch.

Winston!

Hey, Man, what happened?

What happened? What's... what's... oh! Oh!

Ah, God.

- Hey, babe. How are you? - What the hell are you doing?

Getting my truck out of hock. What are you doing?

I mean, what are you doing taking my house off the market?

Well, I sensed a certain reluctance on your part earlier today to sell, so I took some action.

It's the, uh, Ford Courier, please.

Do you know how difficult it is to sell a home in this Market?

You know how much harder it'll be when it falls out of escrow because your check bounced?

- It won't bounce. - Not to mention how

inappropriate, how wildly invasive... It won't bounce.

Your checks always bounce. Your life bounces.

You'll never guess who just walked in the door... Mark Gustafson. Can I call you back later?

Don't you hang up on me.

He says hello.

- What's this? - Oh, well, you know,

I stopped smoking about a month ago, and this is the only thing that seems like it helps.

For a second there, I thought it was an affectation. How's Carol?

Oh, she's good. Thanks for asking.

You know, why don't we do this out in public?

So, either of you guys know a Tony Bianco? Part-time golf pro.

Well, he was missing for most of the week, but he

turned up today without a face in a lifeguard station.

- Right near where your truck got towed. - Wow, that's, uh, that's a coincidence.

Yeah.

Why were you two there?

Well, the dog had to pee, so we had to pull over somewhere.

Then why was the pooch in the truck when it got towed?

Oh, that's because Britt had to go, too, because they're on the same cycle like that,

Detective Reynolds.

Fine, it's not like I'm trying to make you out to be perps or anything.

We already have a suspect.

Elenore Gosney. Sometimes-Girlfriend of the deceased. Daughter of Mickey Gosney.

Yeah, the same guy you bailed out of jail this a. m.

Hank...

this little girl's fingerprints are all over that lifeguard stand.

What... you weren't looking for her today, were you?

Happen to run a cell trace with Detective Reynolds' I.D.?

What? No. That... that would be highly illegal.

You know, Hank, this is a murder.

So don't hold out on me.

- Why were you there? - Mark, what can I tell you?

My partner had a full bladder.

All right, everybody, let's get out of here.

Hiya, Winston! Oh, my little baby. I missed you so much.

Thank you so much. You're welcome.

He was a good boy. Bring your laundry here anytime.

- I'm gonna take you up on that. - All right. Well, Thank you.

No problem. See you later. Bye, Winston.

Oh, Man, can we finally get rid of that thing?

- Holy shit! That's the sex tape. - Yep, porn on a phone.

iPorn.

You what?

I got to give the rich bastard credit, Man. He's got stamina.

- And he... he finishes quietly. - Turn it off.

Why?

- Because I've had enough, all right? - I spent the day dog-napping,

I lied to my former partner about a homicide, and I just, I really don't want to hear the daughter

of a really good friend of mine getting boned by this town's favorite son.

Yeah, they can't all be great days like today.

I'll be right back. I'm gonna take a shower.

Yeah, I can't talk right now, okay? What you doing?

Take all of it right now, take all the...

You got to do it fast, all right? Don't worry about covering your tracks, just do it fast.

- Think anyone's not gonna goddamn notice... - You have my cell phone.

- How'd you find me? - My dad.

Called him to say "What the hell?" He said you had my money, gave me your number.

Your ex-wife sounds nice, by the way. Told me where you live.

How'd you screw that up anyway, by being a drunk?

You know, I kind of remember you from when I was growing up.

You and my dad were always getting crocked together.

You were a cop, right?

What did they bounce you off the force or something?

Well, something.

- Are you on speed? - Maybe a little.

If you want jelly, there's some right up there on the top shelf.

It's real good. It's kind of like the natural type.

You already shot off a person's face. Don't you think that's enough for one day?

That wasn't me. I swear to God, I didn't kill Tony.

Cops seem to think so. Your fingerprints are all over that lifeguard tower.

That's 'cause we were heading out there all week... Tony and me.

After Dad pulled a no-show, I went back there last night,

found Tony dead on the floor with his head all...

And that gun was beside him. I grabbed it and got out of there.

Didn't think to look for this.

Figured whoever did Tony would've taken it.

You probably watched it by now.

The first few seconds. I kind of prefer my... with a little story before, you know?

So you didn't get to the end?

Then you really don't know what the hell is going on here.

Hey, here's the upshot best as I can figure, okay?

Elenore was blackmailing Lindus with that video.

- Her and her boyfriend Tony, the golf pro... - Man without the face?

Exactly. They hit him up for 50K, figuring that's no big deal to Lindus,

They sent it to him in an e-mail. But he goes ballistic because

what they don't realize till later is this.

They didn't even know this was on there until after they sent it to him.

There's gonna be a big hole where a resort should've been.

It's Lindus talking about his Montague Development.

It's a crock of shit. He gets the state to sell him a

bunch of land to build a resort, and it's not even happening.

- What is happening? - Well, Lindus killed her boyfriend Tony over it.

Or had him killed. And now he wants to kill her.

Th... This was supposed to be a favor.

You know there's a couple of goons in an SUV parked out front?

So, you two are partners?

We're only recognized in Vermont and Massachusetts.

Get down, get all the way down.

How'd they find me?

- Lindus is paying us to look for you. - What?!

Sit down! I said he's paying us, I didn't say we were working for him.

- Where are we going? - To see our lawyer.

Let's go.

When did you shoot this?

About three weeks ago.

Just do it fast, all right? There's gonna be a big hole where a resort should've been.

Think anyone's not gonna goddamn notice?

Do you have any idea what he's talking about?

Enough to understand why he'd never want anyone to ever see this,

much less the first part.

- You photograph well, by the way. - Thank you.

You're right.

Montague's not getting built.

Or it's being built to fail.

I circled the block a couple times, then split.

Do you have any idea how much money is being poured into this

town 'cause of Lindus's development? And whose money?

My advice to you, as a friend, is ditch this.

Are you kidding?

It's too big for you, Hank. It's too big for both you guys.

That right there is money and power.

And it's just too big for you. Are you saying we're small-time?

We grow two sizes, we might make small time.

What if we're big time and just didn't realize it?

All right, listen, if you're looking to make a buck,

I got stuff coming in-

Cheating wife case, Guy faking diability...

We need pictures. You want to get yourselves killed,

- stay on this scent. - What about her?

- Her life is in danger. - Seems that her fingerprints

and DNA... all over the scene.

So that leads me to two questions.

Honey, are you rich?

Well, then do you speak Spanish?

Because in prison or in Colombia, it's about to be your mother tongue.

So what the hell do we do now?

- I'm thinking. - We're gonna meet at your place or...?

No, no, they know where I live. Let's go back to your place.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Big guy!

Get out of here!

Britt! Come on. Come on, come on! Let's go!

That's enough!

Relax! Just want to talk to her.

- Come on, come on, come on, come on! - Go! Go! Go!

Get off at Union Station. Take a cab to pier 23 in San Pedro.

Take the ferry to Avalon. Go to Kwan's Bicycle Shop, mention my name.

He'll set you up with a room and a broom. And get into a program.

Catalina's as good a place as any to get clean.

All right, now, here.

This is from your dad. Don't worry, it's not forever.

We're gonna straighten things out down here, and you'll be back before you know it.

Is there anything we should tell your dad?

Tell him he came through. Can I have the gun, by the way?

In case. It's a murder weapon, princess.

- Want to go to prison for the rest of your life? - No.

Guys sure you don't want to come with? Your life here kind of sucks.

You're a peach of a gal, Ellie.

I'm my daddy's girl.

Well, we saved her.

Who's gonna rescue our asses?

Hey. Jesus!

What happened to you?

I got into some fisticuffs with a Little League team.

But you should see those kids.

- You want anything? - No, I'm fine, Thanks.

Hey, you're not still pissed about the house, are you?

No, not anymore.

Good, good. But I... I still want to apologize, 'cause you were right.

I thought about it. I was inappropriate, I was invasive,

I was rude, and... and...

and I'm sorry. Thank you.

Apology accepted.

You know, I just wanted to make changes in my life, and

I think, uh, I got kind of carried away.

Anyway, that aside, I'll

call the realtor and I'll retract the bid. So the house...

No, no, no, no. If you're buying it for you, go ahead.

It'll be easier, actually, then selling it to a stranger. I just...

I just want to make sure you're not buying it for me.

- For you? - Yeah.

You're getting married again.

Yeah.

- When? - This summer.

- Do I know him? - Oh, God, I hope not.

He's an Architect.

So-so how long have you, uh... Oh, about six months.

You'll laugh at me. We met online.

Wow, Gretch, um...

Congratulations. That's great. I'm really, I'm really happy for you.

Look at the bright side, you won't have to pay alimony anymore.

Thanks for understanding, Hank.

How'd it go, the midterm?

I don't find out for a few days.

Where's your pal?

Date.

- How'd you like to go on one? - Yeah.

- Who'd pay? - I will.

- Yeah. - Put on a dress.

What?

My boyfriend...

supposed to be here, like, any minute.

I'm not worried about him. I bet I could whup him.

Babe.

- We can't afford this. - Of course we can.

Hey, so I want to talk to you about something.

Okay. I been thinking about us getting...

a dog.

Yeah? Yeah.

- Any particular breed? - Bulldog, maybe. I don't know.

I... I figured, this weekend we could go down to the pound together and pick one out.

All I know is, I want to name it after my Uncle Lassie.

All right.

So I... I know it's not a baby.

But I figured it's a...

a gateway responsibility.

What happened to you today?

Thank you.

For?

It'd take too long.

Help you?

- Uh, blue label, please. - Box okay?

Can I have some of those cigarette holders, too, please?

Heads up.

- Thanks. I was running out. - Smoke 'em in good health.

Hey, I also got you a bottle!

Look at this! You're going to spoil me, Man. That girl you were

looking for, Elenore Gosney, don't even waste your time.

I put her on a train out of town this afternoon.

So, is that what this is... a consolation prize?

- This better be some good booze, man. - She didn't do it.

- She was the intended victim, not the shooter. - Do you know who did?

- I got a couple of good guesses. - Look, I need a favor from you, Mark, okay?

It's connected to your 187, so it's not entirely out of your jurisdiction, okay?

I want you to search the house of Robert Lindus.

- Robert Lindus, the developer? - Yeah.

- Okay, why? - I'm pretty sure he's

behind the homicide of Tony Bianco and something else big,

- but I just don't know what yet! - On what grounds, Hank?

Do you even know who Robert Lindus is? Do you know who his friends are?

Yeah, yeah, you know, I've heard that all before. He's rotten.

And so is that development of his. He was screwing Elenore.

He tried to have her whacked today. That's how I got this!

Robert Lindus is a prominent citizen.

I am not going to raid his house without very probable cause.

Where did this come from anyway?

You were so content just being a layabout. You know what?

- Give me back that bottle! - Why?

You want to drink it?

Detective, got a stiff down at the docks.

Likely O.D. Last name Gosney.

That's impossible.

Perfect. Thank you.

That's how you afford dinner. I told them I'd do their laundry free for a week.

Yeah, you're going to clean tablecloths and napkins for a week?

Nope, I got a deal worked out on that, too.

Hey, partner!

What?

Looks like a deliberate OD. You don't pump that much heroin into your own arm unless you

- want a certain result. - Thanks.

Mark, Mickey was a drinker, sure, but he would never

in a million years touch that shit.

Doesn't mean that's not the way he chose to go out.

He didn't choose this! Someone did this to him!

To make a statement, as a warning... it's connected. I told you, damn it.

- On the day that his daughter... - Come on, let's get out of here.

Listen to me, goddamn it! Picks this day to just shoot dope for the first time?

Come on. No, no, no, no! Damn it, come on, Mark!

- No, wait, wait. - Hey, you get your hands off him, Man!

Listen to me for one second. I understand that this is one of your friends, okay?

- I'm sorry for your loss. - Then, do something about it, Mark.

Do something.

Do something about it!

What do you want to do?

Mr. Pollack, Mr. Dolworth, please sit down.

I heard about the little mix-up this afternoon. I'm sorry.

I hope no one was injured. So, how are things going?

We have something for you.

- What's that? - That is the sensitive item you wanted.

A phone. Kidding.

Technology. Who would've thunk it?

And Elenore...

is she safe?

Yeah, we lost her. I don't know, she's probably south of the border by now.

She seemed pretty scared.

Well... looks like a job well done, then, huh?

I believe the agreed upon amount was $20,000,

but I would like to add $10,000 to that as a bonus, or a retainer,

should there be threat of a copy.

That's very generous of you.

Everything all right, Mr. Dolworth?

No, actually.

A really good friend of mine died tonight. Mickey Gosney, Elenore's father.

- I'm sorry to hear that. - Are you?

Because I think these two men here are the ones responsible for killing him.

I'm going to destroy you, Lindus.

I could've walked away from this thing an hour ago eating shit, and Jesus knows...

I've eaten enough in my life.

But you killed my friend,

so I'm going to destroy you.

And I just wanted you to know that.

And I'm still going to cash the check.

Jesus, God, I hope you have a plan.

Cheat.

- Yes? - Good morning. Is Mr. Lindus home?

- May I help you, Officer? - Mr. Lindus, I've a warrant to search your house.

- For what? - Cell phone, sir, taken from a murder scene.

I have evidence that you purchased it last night.

- Just slow down here. - All right, everybody, spread out.

Reynolds, why don't you come over here with me for a second?

Loan me $1,000.

- Why? - I'm tired of the drapes in my living room.

- Your place doesn't have a living room. - My new place.

Look, I don't know what it is you think you're up to, Detective, um...

- What was your name again? - Gustafson.

Mark Gustafson.

Well, Detective Gustafson, I would like to have my lawyer present for this.

I know exactly where you can call him from.

No, hold on, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Will somebody please put some bracelets on this guy?

- Come on... handcuffs? Is that necessary? - It's very necessary.

All right, all right. Take it easy.

- You think it'll stick? On Lindus? - It'll definitely screw up his weekend plans.

Come on, let's get out of here. I have a back wax in half an hour.

You know, we just opened up a huge can of shit into our lives.

Lindus's powerful friends already had two people whacked.

- If he wiggles out of this thing... and he will.. - Yep.

Ain't we got fun?
