WHO'S CHRISTY CARLSON?

OH, YOU MEAN ALLISON CAVALLEY.

I NEVER SHOT A GUN IN MY LIFE.

SHE LIED, DIDN'T SHE?

AND OUR FRIENDS HERE FROM WASHINGTON

ARE DEEPLY CONCERNED.

Pilot: THIS IS THE UNITED STATES COAST GUARD.

DID YOU HAVE ANY LUCK FINDING ZUKOFF?

IF THIS ZUKOFF... IS THAT HIS NAME?

ZUKOFF IS A KGB AGENT.

KILL HIM.

WE HAD HARD EVIDENCE.

YOU'VE GOT NO EVIDENCE.

WHAT KIND OF EVIDENCE?

I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT EVIDENCE.

I WANT TO GO HOME AND GO TO BED.

WORKS FOR ME.

Narrator: IN PART ONE OF THE BEAUTIFUL AND THE DEAD...

I KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THAT MURDER AT THE MOTEL EXOTICA.

HE HAD A RUSSIAN ACCENT.

DID YOU SEE HIS FACE?

YES.

Cop: TURN TO YOUR LEFT.

OFF THE RECORD, MISS ZUHONIN,

DID ONE OF THEM SEEM CLOSE?

YES. ZUKOFF.

BUT I WOULD NEVER SWEAR IT WAS HIM.

YOU'RE STILL NOT OFF THE HOOK WITH US YET.

BECAUSE I'M RUSSIAN?

LOOK, MR. ZUKOFF.

WE DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE PATAGONIAN.

YOUR ALIBI FOR LAST FRIDAY NIGHT STINKS.

I GOT HOME TONIGHT AND FOUND A DEAD BODY

WATCHING MY TELEVISION SET.

I THINK IT'S A FRAME-UP.

I'M TELLING YOU.

THERE WAS A BODY IN THAT CHAIR.

THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME

I EVER GOT A MISSING PERSONS REPORT

WITH NO NAME ATTACHED.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME ALL ABOUT HER, HUH?

WELL, LOOKS LIKE WE'VE PICKED UP A TAIL HERE.

WELL, LET'S FIND OUT WHO HE IS.

WHY IS IT ALL OF A SUDDEN

I GET THE FEELING WE'RE IN THE BIG TIME HERE?

A DELEGATION FROM WASHINGTON JUST TROOPED IN.

WE SEEM TO HAVE COMMON INTEREST

IN A CERTAIN RUSSIAN DEFECTOR

BY THE NAME OF LEO ZUKOFF.

WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT YOU LAY OFF

UNLESS YOU HAVE CLEAR AND PLAUSIBLE CAUSE

TO APPROACH HIM.

SO, YOU REPORTED A WOMAN MISSING?

YES. YEAH, I DID.

WHAT'S HER NAME?

ALLISON CAVALLEY.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE WORKING ON THE HUMPHREYS CASE?

WE ARE. BUT WE THINK THEY MIGHT BE THE SAME CASE.

BUT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DIED?

NO.

HE WAS LEAVING THAT FOR THE CORONER, CAPTAIN.

HE DIDN'T KNOW THE BODY WAS GOING TO DISAPPEAR.

YOU ALLISON CAVALLEY?

YES. YOU KNOW WHO SHE IS?

SHE'S MY BEST, CLOSEST FRIEND...

CHRISTY CARLSON.

WELL, SHE RENTED AN APARTMENT IN L.A.

UNDER YOUR NAME.

WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?

WAS SHE HIDING FROM SOMEBODY?

I'LL HAVE TO ASK THAT YOU TWO KEEP MY IDENTITY TO YOURSELVES.

NEXT YOU... YOU'LL BE ASKING ME IF I KILLED HER.

WELL, DID YOU?

Carlos, on radio: HUNTER, IT'S CARLOS.

THE BODY YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR JUST CAME IN.

BUT I THINK YOU'RE IN FOR A BIG SURPRISE, PAL.

Narrator: AND NOW,

PART 2 OF THE BEAUTIFUL AND THE DEAD.

HUNTER, MY MAN. WHERE IS SHE?

WHERE'S MY FAVORITE LITTLE VIXEN?

SHE'S OUTSIDE, CARLOS. WHERE'S THE BODY?

IS IT HER?

YEAH.

WHERE'D THEY FIND HER?

YOU LIVE IN THE VALLEY, RIGHT? SHERMAN OAKS?

SHERMAN OAKS, HUH?

BY ACCIDENT.

IN THE STORM DRAIN AT KEMP AND VENTURA.

THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A LOST DOG.

WHAT'S THE SURPRISE YOU HAD TO TELL ME?

WELL, SHE WASN'T KILLED LIKE YOU SAID, PAL.

HOW WAS SHE KILLED?

OLD-FASHIONED SHOT IN THE BACK.

.22 CALIBER BULLET ENTERED, WENT THROUGH HER HEART,

RICOCHETED OFF HER RIB... ENDED UP IN HER DUODENUM.

AUTOMATIC WEAPON...

PROBABLY... WITH A SILENCER.

HMM. WAS THERE ANY EVIDENCE

THAT SHE WAS RUNNING AT THE TIME SHE WAS KILLED?

HMM. FOR SUBTLE AND TOTALLY UNRELIABLE INFORMATION

OF THAT KIND, I REFER YOU TO THE M.E.,

WHO IS NOT IN AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

WELL, THIS IS A SURPRISE THAT SHE WAS SHOT.

I NEED THAT BULLET.

THE M.E. SENT IT TO THE LAB

WITH... AT MY SUGGESTION... YOUR NAME ON THE TAG.

OK. GOOD. APPRECIATE IT. THANKS.

SO, WHAT HAVE WE GOT HERE?

SHE CALLED A CAB.

YOU'LL GET TO THE AIRPORT FASTER

RIDING WITH US.

I KNOW...

BUT THE CAB DRIVER WON'T ACCUSE ME OF MURDER.

WAS IT CHRISTY CARLSON?

YES, IT WAS.

SHE'S DEAD?

YES, SHE IS. SHOT RIGHT IN THE BACK

WITH A .22 CALIBER HANDGUN.

I NEVER SHOT A GUN IN MY LIFE.

NOT EVEN AT A TIN CAN!

MISS HUMPHREYS, THERE'S ALWAYS A FIRST TIME,

ISN'T THERE?

ALL 3 OF YOU?

Humphreys: JUST ME. TO THE AIRPORT.

OH, UNLESS YOU'VE DECIDED

I CAN'T LEAVE THE JURISDICTION.

THAT IS THE WORD, ISN'T IT?

YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH DO WHAT YOU WANT, MS. HUMPHREYS.

BUT I'M STILL A SUSPECT?

A SUSPECT IS SOMEBODY WITH MOTIVE,

OPPORTUNITY, AND A LOUSY ALIBI.

YOU'RE A SUSPECT.

CALL MY DAUGHTER. SHE'LL TELL YOU

I WAS IN PALO ALTO THAT DAY... ALL DAY... WITH HER.

I'M SURE SHE WILL, MS. HUMPHREYS.

DRIVER, ON THE WAY TO THE AIRPORT,

ACCUSE HER OF MURDER A COUPLE OF TIMES, WILL YOU?

Woman: HUNTER.

MIKE HARRISON'S BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU GUYS LIKE CRAZY.

HE WENT BACK TO HIS OFFICE.

HOLD THAT.

MIKE? HUNTER.

REALLY? OK, WE'LL GET OVER THERE RIGHT AWAY.

THANKS, MIKE.

WELL, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH

RALPH CALLED BIG MIKE.

HE'S GOT SOMETHING HE WANTS TO SHOW US.

BUT HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO US

OVER THE PHONE ABOUT IT. COME ON.

WHO IS IT?

SERGEANT McCALL. SERGEANT HUNTER.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO LOCATE YOU TWO.

I'VE TRIED EVERYWHERE.

I EVEN TRIED MISSING PERSONS UP IN SAN FRANCISCO.

I FOUND OUT YOU GUYS WERE HOMICIDE DETECTIVES.

I'M A LITTLE SCARED.

AND I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU.

J-JUST SIT DOWN.

TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

NOW, I HADN'T DEVELOPED THAT ONE YET

WHEN I SAW YOU THE FIRST TIME.

A PICTURE OF CHRISTY. SO WHAT?

IT'S MORE OF THE SAME, RALPH.

TAKE A CLOSER LOOK.

HERE. LOOK AT IT UNDER THE LIGHT.

WELL, THAT'S A PICTURE OF ZUKOFF.

McCall: SURE IS.

Ralph: MAYBE THIS'LL HELP.

I BLEW UP JUST THAT PART OF THE SHOT.

THIS IS A LITTLE BIT BETTER SHOT.

CAN I TAKE THIS?

YEAH, SURE. I GOT THE NEGATIVE.

WHO... WHO IS ZUKOFF?

HOW LONG AGO WAS THIS PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN?

THAT WAS THE LAST TIME I SAW HER.

IT'S PROBABLY THE DAY SHE DIED.

WHAT?

IT WAS PROBABLY TAKEN

ON THE DAY SHE DISAPPEARED.

THANKS, RALPH.

HE'S IN THERE.

THEIR LIPS ARE SAYING NO,

BUT THEIR EYES ARE SAYING YES.

DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE, McCALL.

TOMORROW WE GET THE TROOPS IN HERE

AND GET A WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST.

YEAH, WHAT ABOUT THAT HARD-NOSED JERK

FROM WASHINGTON

THAT WARNED US TO LAY OFF, HUH?

YEAH, HE'S A JERK ALL RIGHT,

BUT HE'S GOT HIS JOB AND WE'VE GOT OURS.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,

THIS ZUKOFF CHARACTER IS A LOOSE WARHEAD.

IT'S LATE.

I'LL TAKE YOU HOME. YOU NEED SOME SLEEP.

HEH. SO DO YOU, BIG GUY.

COME ON.

AAH!

UNH!

UHH!

UNH!

Woman: SERGEANT HUNTER!

SERGEANT HUNTER?

HARVEY, QUICK! CALL AN AMBULANCE!

HOW YOU FEELING, HUNTER?

I'M ALL RIGHT, GENE.

HOW MANY FINGERS?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

NO. HOW MANY FINGERS?

LET'S SEE... I THINK THERE'S ABOUT 3 OF THEM THERE.

YEAH, 3. I'LL GO WITH 3.

Zukoff: I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU MAKE ONLY ONE PRINT.

WHERE ARE OTHERS?

I SWEAR... I ONLY MADE ONE OF EACH.

WHY WOULD I MAKE MORE THAN ONE?

BUT YOU DID.

AND I KNOW IT.

I DIDN'T! PLEASE!

YOU'VE GOT THE NEGATIVE. THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT!

TAKE TWO OF THESE EVERY 4 HOURS.

EXCUSE ME.

WERE YOU IN YOUR JAMMIES WHEN THEY CALLED?

YEAH, I WAS IN MY J... I GOT DRESSED AGAIN.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? WHAT HAPPENED?

I'M FINE. GET IN. YOU'RE DRIVING.

UGH! YOU'RE GONNA TAKE THOSE ASPIRIN

WITHOUT ANY WATER?

MM-HMM.

YEP.

THIS IS L-56.

SEND A COUPLE OF BLACK-AND-WHITES

OVER TO 3142 PARK TERRACE IN BRENTWOOD.

RUN A CODE 3.

McCALL AND I ARE EN ROUTE. L-56 OUT.

3 GUYS THAT JUMPED ME TOOK THE PICTURE.

WE GOTTA ROLL.

TELL ME!

HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH.

KILL HIM.

GOT THE PHOTOGRAPHS.

I AM NOT ARMENIAN, AND I WOULD PREFER

YOU SPEAK RUSSIAN OR ENGLISH WHEN I AM PRESENT.

YOU WILL GO BACK TO YOUR PLACE AND WAIT.

YOU'LL BE PICKED UP WITHIN THE HOUR.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN PICKED UP?

I HAVE ARRANGED FOR YOU TO RETURN BACK HOME.

BUT WHY?

EVERYTHING'S SETTLED.

THIS WAS MERELY A POLICE CASE. NOW IT'S...

IT'S FINISHED.

YOU ARE TO RETURN HOME TONIGHT.

BEFORE YOU MAKE ANOTHER MISTAKE

AND EXPOSE ME AS WELL.

DID YOU SEND FOR AN M.E.?

YES, SIR. THEY SHOULD BE HERE ANY MOMENT.

THEY GOT THE NEGATIVE. THE WHOLE ROOM'S TRASHED.

HIYA, BARNEY.

WELL, WHAT'VE WE GOT THIS TIME?

I DON'T KNOW. TAKE A LOOK.

LOOKS LIKE HE WAS KILLED

THE SAME WAY THAT JOHN HUMPHREYS WAS.

YEAH? SAME SPOT?

YEAH, SAME PLACE.

PROBABLY THE SAME STILETTO BLADE.

WHAT IS IT? WHAT'S HAPPENING?

IT'S OK.

DID YOU HEAR ANYBODY, MS. DANELIAN?

NO... NOTHING.

DID YOU SEE ANYBODY?

ANYBODY NEW THAT YOU HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE?

ANYONE AT ALL?

NOTHING.

OH, I'M SORRY!

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

YOU KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET

A SEARCH WARRANT IF WE'RE GOING AFTER ZUKOFF.

GOTTA FIND OUT WHERE HE IS FIRST.

LOOK, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU'VE GOTTA DO.

I WANT A WARRANT ISSUED FOR ZUKOFF'S ARREST.

SUSPICION OF MURDER. NOW, GET WITH IT!

L-56 OUT.

YOU KNOW, THE GREATER RUSSIAN SOCIAL CLUB'S

GONNA BE LOCKED UP TIGHT AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING.

I HOPE SO.

HEY, PULL OVER HERE. CUT YOUR LIGHTS.

ZUKOFF'S GOTTA BE IN THAT LIMOUSINE.

McCall: WANT TO CALL FOR BACKUP?

NO, NO, NO. NOT YET.

I WANT TO SEE WHERE HE'S GOING FIRST.

WHAT'VE WE GOT HERE?

THEY'RE GONNA CHECK US OUT.

JUST PLAY IT STRAIGHT.

THIS IS L-56. SEND A PARAMEDIC AND A BACKUP

TO THE CORNERS OF MIDVALE AND PICO.

THERE'S BEEN A CAR CRASH.

ARREST THE OCCUPANTS. L-56 OUT.

THIS IS L-56.

WE'RE IN PURSUIT OF A BLACK STRETCH LIMOUSINE

HEADED WEST ON PICO BOULEVARD JUST WEST OF ARCHER.

REQUEST A BACKUP. CODE 3. L-56 OUT.

WE LOST THE LIMO, HUNTER.

THEY'VE GOTTA BE HEADED FOR COAST HIGHWAY.

WHAT DO I WANT TO DO... GO NORTH OR SOUTH?

GO NORTH.

THIS IS L-56. CONTACT WEST L.A. DISPATCH.

THERE'S A BLACK-AND-WHITE HEADED WEST ON PICO BOULEVARD.

WE WANT THE UNIT DESIGNATION.

Dispatch Officer: 10-4.

L-56, THAT UNIT IS 17 ADAM 32.

HAVE HIM SWITCH TO FREQUENCY 17, PLEASE.

Dispatch: 10-4.

17-A-32, COME IN.

Cop: THIS IS 17 ADAM 32.

Hunter: THIS IS L-56.

WE'RE TURNING NORTH ON PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A BLACK STRETCH LIMOUSINE.

WE'D LIKE YOU TO GO SOUTH.

IF YOU FIND IT, CALL US, BUT DO NOT OVERTAKE, COPY?

Cop: 10-4.

HEY, HEY, HEY. THERE IT IS.

I COUNTED 4. HOW 'BOUT YOU?

YEAH. AND I SWEAR ONE OF 'EM WAS ZUKOFF.

YEAH.

BRODER? HUNTER.

WHAT THE HELL? WHAT TIME IS IT?

WELL, IT'S 4:00 AM AND THERE'S TROUBLE IN RIVER CITY, PAL.

WHAT? HUNTER, HOW DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER?

I'M A DETECTIVE, REMEMBER?

LISTEN, I THINK YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM HERE.

A BOAT JUST LEFT MALIBU, AND I THINK ZUKOFF WAS ON IT.

IF HE IS, YOU'RE THE ONE WITH THE PROBLEM.

NOW, GET THE HELL OFF THE PHONE.

I'VE GOT TO CALL THE COAST GUARD.

I'VE ALREADY DONE THAT, BRODER.

NOW, IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME MORE

ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, I'LL BE IN MY OFFICE.

GOOD NIGHT.

HUNTER?

DAMN!

HE'S SITTING AT YOUR DESK.

I HATE THAT MORE THAN ANYTHING.

Broder: ANY WORD FROM THE COAST GUARD?

WHY IS IT EVERYBODY DUMPS ON MY DESK?

NOBODY EVER DUMPS ON YOUR DESK. WHY IS THAT? WHAT?

I SAID IS THERE ANY WORD FROM THE COAST GUARD?

NO.

NO WORD. DID YOU HAVE ANY LUCK FINDING ZUKOFF?

NO, HE'S GONE.

WHAT SCARED HIM? WHY DID HE RUN?

HE RAN BECAUSE WE FOUND A HARD, SOLID PIECE OF EVIDENCE

THAT COULD HAVE PUT HIM AWAY FOR MURDER.

YEAH, AND HE TOOK IT WITH HIM.

WHAT KIND OF EVIDENCE?

McCall: PHOTOGRAPH.

SHOWING HIM IN THE APARTMENT OF CHRISTY CARLSON...

PROBABLY TAKEN ON THE DAY SHE WAS MURDERED.

Hunter: YOU SEE, ZUKOFF SENT OVER

A COUPLE OF MUSCLEBRAINS TO ROUGH ME UP

AND TAKE THE PHOTOGRAPH, WHICH THEY DID.

HE ALSO GOT THE NEGATIVE

BY KILLING RALPH, THE PHOTOGRAPHER.

HE STABBED HIM EXACTLY THE SAME WAY

HE STABBED JOHN HUMPHREYS.

YOU GOT ANY COFFEE IN THIS PLACE?

RIGHT OVER THERE. PRIVACY?

RIGHT BACK THERE.

Pilot: THIS IS THE UNITED STATES COAST GUARD.

YOU ARE ORDERED TO ALTER YOUR COURSE...

TO PORT YOUR VESSEL AT MARINA DEL REY.

THROW YOUR WEAPONS OVER THE SIDE AND RAISE YOUR HANDS.

I REPEAT, THROW YOUR WEAPONS OVER THE SIDE

AND RAISE YOUR HANDS.

Pilot: WE WILL STAY WITH YOU

UNTIL YOU ARE INTERCEPTED BY A PATROL BOAT.

I NEVER HEARD OF CHRISTY CARLSON.

WHO IS SHE?

McCall: WHAT ABOUT ALLISON CAVALLEY?

NO.

MY PARTNER AND I WERE SENT TO SANTA CLARA

BECAUSE HUMPHREYS CALLED THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE...

AND THEY CALLED US.

THAT WAS AROUND THE TIME THERE WAS A WHOLE SLEW

OF ARRESTS BEING MADE FOR ESPIONAGE.

AND THOSE PEOPLE WERE EYEBALLING THE DEATH PENALTY.

AND HUMPHREYS... WELL, HE SOUNDED SCARED.

SOMEONE TRYING TO MAKE A DEAL.

A WAY OUT OF SOME BIG TROUBLE.

BUT WHEN WE GOT THERE, HE DID A SWITCH.

GAVE US SOME PHONY SONG AND DANCE.

WE COULDN'T TURN HIM AROUND.

WELL, I THOUGHT YOU SAID

HE HAD NO CONNECTION WITH ZUKOFF.

I'M NOT ALLOWED TO DISCUSS ZUKOFF WITH YOU

OR ANYONE ELSE OUTSIDE OF MY AGENCY.

WELL, WHAT AGENCY WAS THAT?

YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT ZUKOFF 'CAUSE HE'S A SPY, RIGHT?

HE BUYS HIGH-TECH SECRETS, PROTOTYPES, THAT SORT OF THING.

YOU TWO BETTER PRAY TO GOD YOU CAN SHOW

STRONG CAUSE FOR LEANING ON ZUKOFF,

ESPECIALLY AFTER YOU WERE GIVEN FAIR WARNING

TO KNOCK IT OFF. BECAUSE IF YOU CAN'T,

YOU AND YOUR IMMEDIATE SUPERIORS

ARE IN DEEP, DEEP SQUAT.

LET'S SEE NOW,

IT WENT LIKE THIS, RIGHT?

ZUKOFF IS A KGB AGENT. YOU KNEW THAT.

BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU KNEW IT.

IS THAT RIGHT?

IF YOU WOULD HAVE TOLD US THAT ZUKOFF WAS KGB,

WE WOULD HAVE STAYED CLEAR.

BUT YOU TOLD US THAT HE WAS A FRIENDLY DEFECTOR.

AND I'M NOT TELLING YOU ANYTHING DIFFERENT NOW.

THIS KGB CRAP... THAT'S YOUR SCENARIO.

AREN'T WE ON THE SAME SIDE HERE, BRODER?

WE'RE NOT EVEN ON THE SAME PLANET!

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ELSE.

IF ZUKOFF WAS KGB,

AND HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT WE KNEW...

THAT'D BE PURE GOLD.

AND SCARING HIM INTO TAKING A POWDER

WOULD PUT YOU TWO ON THE WRONG SIDE.

THANKS FOR THE COFFEE.

YOU BETTER PRAY TO GOD

YOU CAN GET ANOTHER COPY OF THAT PHOTOGRAPH.

SOUNDS LIKE THE ONLY HARD EVIDENCE

YOU TWO... UH... SPORTS EVER HAD.

I WANT TO GO HOME AND GO TO BED.

I KNOW THE ANSWER.

WHAT ANSWER?

ALLISON CAVALLEY. WANT TO HEAR IT?

ON THE WAY HOME IN THE CAR.

McCall: REMEMBER WHAT ALLISON CAVALLEY TOLD US

ABOUT CHRISTY AND HER MAN? THAT IN A YEAR OR TWO

ALL HER PLANS WOULD BE LOCKED IN. REMEMBER THAT?

YEAH, SO YOU THINK

THAT SHE KNEW WHAT HUMPHREYS WAS UP TO?

KNEW ABOUT IT? SHE WAS INVOLVED IN IT!

SHE KNEW ZUKOFF. SHE HAD TO.

WHEN HUMPHREYS GOT SCARED, SHE GOT SCARED...

AND THAT'S WHEN SHE RAN TO ZUKOFF.

OK. THEN WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?

TO GET HER PLANS BACK ON TRACK, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

AND IT WORKED, DIDN'T IT? 'CAUSE ZUKOFF UPPED THE ANTE

OR SOMETHING AND KEPT HUMPHREYS RIGHT IN LINE.

AT LEAST LONG ENOUGH FOR ZUKOFF TO GET HIM DOWN HERE

'TIL HE COULD TAKE HIM OUT.

YEAH.

YEAH.

Dispatch: L-56, WE HAVE THE COAST GUARD ON THE LINE.

PATCH 'EM THROUGH.

Dispatch: I KNEW YOU'D SAY THAT.

Man: ALL RIGHT. TURN ALL 3 OF THEM

AND THEIR BOAT OVER TO THE U.S. MARSHAL.

THE 3 MEN ARE REFUSING TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS

UNTIL THEIR ATTORNEY GETS HERE, SO WE CAN'T TALK TO THEM NOW.

WELL, THAT FIGURES. DO THEY HAVE PAPERS?

THEY CLAIM TO BE U.S. CITIZENS.

MAYBE THEY ARE. IF ZUKOFF... IS THAT HIS NAME?

YEAH.

IF HE DOESN'T WASH UP ON ONE OF OUR BEACHES,

THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO HOLD THEM.

AND THE CHANCES OF YOU FINDING ANY FINGERPRINTS

ON THAT BOAT ARE PRETTY SLIM.

A BOAT LIKE THAT CAN DO OVER 90 KNOTS, CAN'T IT?

THAT'S RIGHT.

IS THERE ANY REPORTS OF RUSSIAN SHIPS IN THE AREA?

3 NOTIFICATIONS TODAY

OF SPECIAL INTEREST VESSELS ON THEIR WAY OUT OF PORT.

YOU GOT A SECURE PHONE I CAN USE IN PRIVATE.

YEAH, SURE. UM...

THEY COULD HAVE RENDEZVOUSED...

WITH ANY ONE OF THOSE VESSELS.

TANKS WERE DOWN TO VAPOR WHEN WE PICKED THEM UP.

YEAH. APPRECIATE IT. THANKS VERY MUCH.

SURE. GOOD LUCK.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WE'RE NOT TAKING ANY CALLS, AND YOU'RE TAKING ME HOME.

WHY? YOU'VE BEEN SLEEPING ALL DAY.

LOOK, I NEED SOME SLEEP, OK? TAKE ME HOME.

THAT JERK FROM WASHINGTON IS GONNA HASSLE US TOMORROW,

AND UNLESS I GET SOME SLEEP, I'M GONNA PUNCH HIM OUT.

OOH! FEISTY, HUH?

LITTLE BANTAM ROOSTER.

HEY, LISTEN. SEEING THAT YOU'RE SO FEISTY,

HOW ABOUT YOU AND I CHECK INTO THE MOTEL EXOTICA.

I GOT A TRUNK FULL OF APPARATUS BACK THERE.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

OH! WONDERFUL! SOUNDS GREAT!

TIME OUT ON THAT, DOLL. LET'S DO IT SOME OTHER TIME.

I NEED TO GO HOME AND SLEEP IN MY OWN BED...

DISCONNECT THE PHONE.

YOU WANT A BORING NIGHT'S SLEEP,

THAT'S UP TO YOU.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

HA HA! MOTEL EXOTICA!

Man: AND OUR FRIENDS HERE FROM WASHINGTON

ARE DEEPLY CONCERNED.

SHOULD THEIR CONCERNS PROVE LEGITIMATE,

CHIEF HAS AUTHORIZED ME TO LAUNCH A FULL INVESTIGATION

INTO YOUR HANDLING OF THIS CASE

AND THE CONDUCT OF THESE 3 OFFICERS

IN THE MATTER OF LEO ZUKOFF.

WELL, WE'D JUST LIKE TO HAVE A LITTLE LIGHT

SHED ON WHAT THESE CONCERNS ARE.

ONLY A FEW DAYS AGO... IN THIS OFFICE...

I ASKED YOU, CAPTAIN,

I ASKED YOU, SERGEANT HUNTER, AND YOU SERGEANT McCALL,

TO GO EASY ON LEO ZUKOFF...

TO LAY OFF WERE MY EXACT WORDS...

UNLESS YOU HAD CLEAR AND SUPPORTABLE CAUSE.

AM I CORRECT IN THAT?

WE HAD CAUSE FOR EVERYTHING THAT WE DID.

OH. YOU HAD FURTHER INFORMATION? EVIDENCE?

OTHER THAN THE OPINION OF A WITNESS

WHO REFUSED TO CONFIRM THAT EVIDENCE UNDER OATH?

Hunter: WE HAD HARD EVIDENCE

LINKING ZUKOFF WITH CHRISTY CARLSON.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT EVIDENCE.

WELL, SO WOULD I.

BUT, AS YOU KNOW, I LOST IT.

SO, IN OTHER WORDS... AS FAR AS WE KNOW...

THAT EVIDENCE NEVER REALLY EXISTED, DID IT?

LOOK, HUNTER GOT ATTACKED OUTSIDE HIS OWN HOME

BY 3 PROFESSIONALS AND THE EVIDENCE WAS TAKEN.

AT THE SAME TIME THAT WAS GOING DOWN,

THE PHOTOGRAPHER WAS KILLED,

AND THAT WAS PROBABLY BY ZUKOFF.

AND HE GOT THE DAMN NEGATIVE, ALL RIGHT?

YOU GOT NO EVIDENCE.

ISN'T THAT THE BOTTOM LINE?

IT LOOKS PRETTY BAD, YEAH.

MR. WATERSON...

WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON HERE?

LET ME GIVE YOU A DAMAGE REPORT, FOLKS.

LEO ZUKOFF WAS A KGB AGENT

WHO DIDN'T KNOW WE HAD HIM ON LINE.

A VITAL, SECOND-LEVEL AGENT WHO WAS ABOUT TO LEAD US

TO HIS TOP-LEVEL SUPERIOR AT ANY MOMENT...

UNTIL YOU TWO FATALLY IMPACTED OUR CASE ACTION.

ANYTHING TO ADD, CAPTAIN?

YEAH. FIRST OF ALL, LIEUTENANT FINN

WAS IN NO WAY INVOLVED IN THIS CASE.

AND SECONDLY, SERGEANTS HUNTER AND McCALL

WERE OPERATING AT ALL TIMES UNDER MY INSTRUCTIONS.

YOU'RE EXCUSED, LIEUTENANT.

YOU, TOO, SERGEANTS.

HOLD IT! JUST A SECOND, YOU TWO.

I GOTTA COUPLE OF QUESTIONS I WANT TO ASK YOU ON THIS.

NOT RIGHT NOW, AMBROSE. WE GOT A LOT OF THINGS TO DO.

NUMBER ONE IS TO PUSH THIS CASE RIGHT DOWN WATERSON'S THROAT.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT? COME ON.

WHERE WE GOING?

LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.

HOW DID ZUKOFF KNOW THAT I HAD THAT PHOTOGRAPH?

HE HAD TO HAVE BEEN AT RALPH'S APARTMENT, RIGHT?

NOW, JUST PERHAPS... MAYBE...

ONE OF THOSE AIRHEADS AT THE POOL SAW SOMETHING.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?

I THINK IT'S WORTH CHECKING OUT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S WONDERFUL WHAT A COUPLE HOURS' SLEEP WILL DO.

YEAH, MAKES YOU WHOLE.

SO, WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

ZUKOFF WASN'T THERE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ZUKOFF WASN'T THERE?

WHEN WE WENT TO SEE RALPH...

THE NIGHT HE GAVE US THOSE PICTURES...

I SAW SOMEBODY WATCHING US AS WE CAME IN.

IT WASN'T ZUKOFF. IT WAS THE MANAGER.

MS. DANELIAN?

SHE WATCHED US GO UP THOSE STAIRS.

NOW, YOU REMEMBER THE NIGHT WE WENT BACK

AFTER RALPH WAS KILLED?

YEAH.

WE ASKED HER SPECIFICALLY...

DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING? DID YOU SEE ANYONE?

REMEMBER WHAT SHE SAID?

YEAH. SHE SAID SHE HADN'T SEEN OR HEARD ANYBODY.

BUT, IN FACT, SHE HAD. SHE HAD SEEN US.

THAT'S RIGHT.

SHE LIED, DIDN'T SHE?

YOU KNOW, YOU OUGHT TO BE A DETECTIVE.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT MY MOM ALWAYS SAID.

WELL, I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME

WE GET OURSELVES A WARRANT FOR MS. DANELIAN.

I AGREE. SPECIFYING WHAT?

ONE .22 CALIBER HAND PISTOL WITH A SOUND SUPPRESSOR.

I KNEW ZUKOFF DIDN'T KILL CHRISTY CARLSON.

WRONG WEAPON.

MAY I HELP YOU?

YEAH. WE'D LIKE TO TALK WITH YOU.

CERTAINLY. WHAT IS IT?

YOU DO REMEMBER US, DON'T YOU?

OF COURSE. YOU ARE WITH THE POLICE.

MAY I ASK WHAT YOU WISH TO TALK TO ME ABOUT?

POOR MR. SKINNER, PERHAPS.

PERHAPS.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT IT OUT HERE?

NO, I'M AFRAID WE CAN'T.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NOT.

WELL, MAYBE THIS WILL EXPLAIN WHY.

IT SAYS HERE THE ONLY THING YOU'RE SEARCHING FOR

IS A .22 CALIBER HANDGUN.

I DO NOT HAVE SUCH A THING.

THEN WE CAN GO INSIDE AND TAKE A LOOK

AND BE SURE OF THAT, RIGHT?

I WISH FIRST TO TALK TO MY ATTORNEY.

GOOD. LET'S GO IN.

OH. MS. DANELIAN, HOLD THE PHONE.

WE'LL MAKE OUR SEARCH.

IF WE FIND THE GUN, YOU'LL BE ARRESTED.

THEN YOU CAN MAKE YOUR PHONE CALL.

THANK YOU.

GO AHEAD.

LOOK FOR A GUN.

Danelian: YOU WILL NOT FIND ONE.

YEAH, IT'S SERGEANT RICK HUNTER.

SEND OVER A PARAMEDIC,

A BLACK-AND-WHITE, AND AN M.E.

TO 3142 PARK TERRACE, BRENTWOOD. CODE 3. THANKS.

I WANT TO MAKE A PHONE CALL.

I'M SURE YOU DO.

TELL ME ABOUT CHRISTY CARLSON.

WHY DID YOU REMOVE HER BODY FROM MY HOUSE?

DIDN'T YOU THINK ANYBODY WOULD FIND HER?

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.

THE BULLET THAT KILLED HER CAME FROM THIS GUN.

WE'LL BE ABLE TO PROVE THAT, THANKS TO YOU.

I WISH TO MAKE A PHONE CALL.

WELL, WE'RE GONNA TURN YOU OVER

TO A FELLOW FROM WASHINGTON, D.C.

VERY UNPLEASANT FELLOW.

THE PHONE CALL WILL BE UP TO HIM.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LIKE HIM MUCH, MS. DANELIAN,

BUT HE'S GONNA LOVE YOU.

AMBROSE? HUNTER.

DO ME A FAVOR, WILL YOU? GET A HOLD OF CAPTAIN WYLER.

HAVE HIM FIND OUT WHERE WATERSON IS.

I'VE GOT SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL HE MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN.

Hunter: THANKS.

TO BURBANK.

Hunter: JERRY.

HOW YOU DOING?

HEY, HOW YOU DOING?

GOOD. COMING OR GOING?

GOING. AND I'M LATE.

I GOTTA GET BACK TO THE AIRPORT.

I GOT 40 MINUTES TO CATCH A PLANE.

WELL, I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO RUSH.

THERE'S A FLIGHT TO SAN FRANCISCO EVERY HOUR.

I KNOW, BUT I'VE GOTTA GET BACK.

LISTEN, I LEFT A LETTER

WITH LIEUTENANT FINN FOR YOU GUYS.

DOES THE NAME RALPH SKINNER MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?

YEAH. DID HE WRITE YOU A LETTER?

NO. IT WAS ADDRESSED TO YOU. "IMPORTANT/CONFIDENTIAL."

SOMEHOW IT FOUND ITS WAY TO ME.

WELL, WAS IT? IMPORTANT?

WELL, IT BETTER BE. ROUND-TRIP FARE'S $89.

I'M KIDDING, BUT I DIDN'T OPEN THE LETTER.

DID THE ENVELOPE SEEM TO HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH INSIDE?

THAT'S WHY I DECIDED TO BRING IT DOWN

INSTEAD OF MAIL IT TO YOU.

IT'LL HELP US OUT A LOT. THANKS.

GOOD. GOOD. SURE IS.

SURE WE CAN'T TALK YOU INTO STAYING FOR DINNER?

I GOT 10 DAYS COMING NEXT MONTH.

I'LL TAKE YOU UP ON IT THEN, OK?

GREAT. HAVE A GOOD FLIGHT.

THANK YOU.

BYE-BYE. TAKE CARE.

WILL DO. BYE.

AND THANK YOU!

YOU GOT IT.

THAT THING DOESN'T MAKE ONE DAMN BIT OF DIFFERENCE.

THE LOSS OF ZUKOFF WAS AVOIDABLE.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.

THERE'S MORE, MR. WATERSON.

COLONEL DANELIAN, KGB.

WE ARRESTED HER ON FIRST-DEGREE MURDER.

SHE WAS ZUKOFF'S BOSS, THE ONE YOU COULDN'T FIND.

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING HERE ABOUT KGB

OR ANYTHING ABOUT ZUKOFF.

WELL, THAT'S JUST THE WAY THE ARREST REPORT READS.

ACTUALLY, SHE THOUGHT SHE COULD GET A BETTER DEAL

BY DECLARING HER SOVIET CITIZENSHIP.

AND SHE CALLED THE SOVIET EMBASSY

AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LAWYERS

ON THEIR WAY HERE NOW FROM THE EMBASSY.

WELL, IS... IS THIS WOMAN IN CUSTODY HERE NOW?

YES, WE HAVE HER DOWNSTAIRS.

I WANT TO SEE HER.

YOU DON'T MIND IF CAPTAIN WYLER AND I GO ALONG?

NO.

WELL, I GUESS WE CAN FINALLY PUT THIS ONE TO REST, HUH?

GO BACK TO OUR ORDINARY RUN OF THE MILL BUSINESS

OF MAYHEM AND MURDER.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

THERE'S STILL SOMETHING I DON'T GET HERE.

WHAT'S THAT?

WE KNOW THAT ZUKOFF KILLED

JOHN HUMPHREYS AND RALPH SKINNER.

RIGHT. AND WE KNOW THAT MRS...

EXCUSE ME... COLONEL DANELIAN KILLED ALLISON CAVALLEY.

SO WHO'S THE GUY

THAT FOLLOWED US BACK FROM ZUKOFF'S?

THE GUY WHO TOOK HIS CAR OVER THE L.A. RIVER.

WHAT? WHO WAS THAT?

COME ON! DON'T YOU KNOW WHO THAT WAS?

NO, I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT WAS. WHO WAS THAT?

YOU'RE KIDDING?

NO! I'M NOT KIDDING! WHO WAS THAT?

WHO?! I DON'T KNOW.
