Hi, beautiful.

Give me your money.

Oh, please don't hurt me.

I won't.

Then just do it.

Give me your ring.

- It was my mother's. - I don't care.

Take my watch.

It's worth more.

Now the ring.

Take my car.

I don't want it.

Give me the ring.

It's OK, it's OK, it's OK.

Yeah, that's him.

Yeah, that's the guy.

Anything you want to add?

No.

You got him right.

And when he got the goggles of, I could see him real good.

His hair, it was just like that.

So, how are we doing?

This is the drawing from Andy's description.

Mhm.

And this one came out of robbery.

You sure about this now?

I know what I saw.

OK, thanks son.

Al, good work.

Thank you son.

Six robberies with assault in the last 10 weeks.

Yeah, and this time he left a dead body.

What about Northeast Division?

Did they give us any prints or anything like that?

Not one thing.

Run off a couple hundred of these

and get them out on the streets.

Maybe somebody will recognize this guy.

All units, possible make on the ATM homicide

suspect at 413 Hyperion.

R21 requests backup.

R20 Charles, R21 Charles.

Molenski, I have a five-minute ETA.

What have you got?

He's in that bar over there.

He's been in and out a couple of times.

Matter of fact, that's him now.

OK, you're sure that's him?

It's got to be.

OK, you can sit out here.

I'm going in the back.

LAPD can I have a word with you for a moment?

Stand back away from the bar.

Don't move.

Don't even move.

All right.

All right.

Turn over.

Get your hands behind your back.

Suspect is down.

Send an RA unit.

All right, excuse me. Pipe down a second.

Hey, quiet down.

The official press notices are being Xeroxed as we speak.

I'm telling you, man.

Check with the ex.

I was behind only two payments.

She said she had the cops out looking for me.

This is why I ran and took off at the bar.

Wouldn't you?

I don't know, I never killed anybody.

Captain, give us some details about the suspect you arrested.

All right, the suspect's name is Jack Roland.

He was arrested in Silver Lake area

by Officers Hunter, Molenski, and Dorsey.

But we heard Roland was injured during his capture?

Well, he tried to evade the officers.

And he ran into the flow of traffic

where he had a brief encounter with an old station wagon.

Oh, was he hospitalized?

The station wagon made out worse.

I was at work last night.

I was at work that night you said the other lady got robbed.

You can't get in and out of the place

that I work without being videoed.

Why don't you just check it out?

I'm waiting for that information right now.

Yeah, good Jeff, thanks.

Been selected is none other

than that exquisite creature of grace and charm, Elena...

Cantu.

Grand Mayor, crown your queen.

Is it the site of me that makes you frown so?

No, but there are things that I must say to you.

Will, honey.

How was your day?

Well, I got a first coat on the whole place.

I'm exhausted.

My poor baby.

Money's money.

Oh.

I brought you a present.

What is it?

What is it?

Come on, come

Come and get it.

Oh now, Will, don't do that again.

Come and get it.

Oh, oh, must've cost a fortune.

Oh, I bought it from a private party.

What a shame she had to sell it.

Come into the dining room.

I have a surprise for you.

Let's go out.

Don't be silly, dinner's ready.

I'm not being silly.

I'm being spontaneous.

Will, we have to save money.

If you'd sell this place, we could put a half a million

dollars in the bank, easy.

No, I will not sell Casa Encanta.

Gloria, just listen to me.

Gloria's worth working for now, isn't she baby?

Yes.

I lost the handbag Mr. Goldman gave me.

I left it in the homeopathic store.

So, did you call them?

Yes.

But they didn't have it.

Somebody took it.

It was my favorite...

So nice.

OK, darling.

I will make it all better for you, OK?

And in the course of our attempts

to protect the innocent, we do sometimes make a mistake,

Mr. Roland.

And I hope that you'll accept the department's apology.

Yeah, well that sketch almost convinced me I was guilty.

Mr. Roland, once again, I'm very

sorry you got hit by a car.

I've taken worse.

Thanks for understanding.

Listen, I hope you guys catch the real guy.

Well, we will, believe me.

Oh, and Mr. Roland, non-payment

of alimony is a felony.

Check's in the mail.

Thank you.

Oh, boy.

We just dodged a bullet or what?

Look, I want a full effort on this thing,

anything you've got to do. You're going to bring this guy.

Yeah, I will.

Gonna kick your butt tonight.

Just run with the table, man.

Check this action out, Jack.

Jack Roland?

Yeah.

Today's your lucky day.

I agree.

A lawyer?

The lawyer who is going to make you a rich man.

Joann, do me a favor here, would you?

And check this list of pawnshops here for me.

Yeah.

In a specific order?

No, it's a top priority list.

So just pick whichever one you want and good luck.

Thanks.

Hmm, pawnshops.

I could use a new guitar.

I'll buy it, whatever it is.

Thanks, but I'm a police officer.

Oh.

Well, I'll do something wrong, officer.

Actually, maybe you can help us.

We're looking for this guy.

We believe he may be trying to pawn some items in the area.

I saw this in the paper.

I thought you caught the guy?

Afraid not.

Here's a list of some of the items

he might be trying to pawn.

Here's my card.

If you see him, give me a call.

Thanks.

Excuse me?

Are you free for dinner?

No.

If you were, would you be?

Just do me a favor, if you see the suspect, give me a call.

If he comes by here, he's your prisoner, officer.

Thanks.

Hey, put the money in your purse.

Now the ring and the watch.

Hey, turn around and I'll cut your throat.

Come on, hurry up. Let's go.

I'm telling you, they don't have any offense.

And that's why they're not winning any games.

Yeah, Charlie, that guy's too fat to coach.

Come on, lay off the fat guys, hey?

Captain Devane?

Yeah?

There's someone here to see you.

Thank you.

Well, Charlie, what do we have here, a little lunchtime treat?

Not really.

Captain Devane.

Ms. Maynard, nice to see you again.

This is Detective Sergeant Hunter.

Leslie Maynard.

Ms. Maynard, it's a pleasure.

Sergeant Hunter.

Well, it was a pleasure meeting you.

I'll just go about my business.

Oh, no.

Please, join us.

You don't mind, do you, Charlie?

Why don't you have a seat, Ms. Maynard?

Thank you.

I'm representing Jack Roland.

We're filing suit against the City of Los Angeles

and Sergeant Hunter for personal injury,

as well as punitive damages.

What?

What?

No, Ms. Maynard, let's get our facts straight here.

Your client accepted my apology in this office

and walked out under his own power.

Didn't look like he had any injuries to me.

Oh, but he does.

His physical and mental health, for example.

It was metro division's blatant disregard

for the rights of citizens and your personal pension

for unnecessary violence that resulted

in this, a malicious and unwarranted

pursuit of my client.

This is ridiculous.

You'll find the specifics in our complaint.

I'm looking forward to seeing you in court.

Did that just happen?

Yes, I think it did.

Yeah?

Sergeant Hunter, the Sanchez woman is here.

Oh, good.

Listen, don't worry about this now.

You talk to the victim.

She what she has to say.

I only saw him for a second, when he jerked

my purse off my shoulder.

Yeah, what else did he take?

My gold crucifix and the money I got out of the machine.

OK look, Julia, until we catch this guy I recommend you cash

your checks from inside the bank or a neighborhood

market near your home?

What?

I can't use an ATM in my own neighborhood in broad daylight?

I might as well go back to New York and live in Central Park.

Baby?

I'm home.

I know you're there.

She lies on her golden flank, her hair

purified with the strong sun, scented

of the rain and the dust.

You are the most beautiful...

I bought you a gift.

Oh.

Oh, oh, elegant.

Do you really like it?

It's elegant.

Oh, very much, very much.

I'm going to have to do something very special

for your birthday.

You are my special thing.

And you, my powerful man.

What do you desire?

The scent of rain in the dusk on your shoulders.

Well, the city attorney's office

assigned me to be your counsel.

But you have an obligation as respondent in this case

to give depositions, make court appearances.

So I got to take time out to deal with some shyster

attorney, huh?

Well, you have a lot more to lose than the city does.

Yeah, what does that mean?

Well, the city is obliged to pay for your defense.

But if you lose, they're not required to pay your damages.

At least that's the way I understand it.

It that right? - That's right.

Oh, this is ridiculous.

Yeah, well a couple of years ago,

a police officer from central division by the name

of Amos Cassidy was sued.

Same circumstances as you're having.

Well, the city didn't come through.

Guy lost his house, kids' college money, everything.

And you could sum up his problems in two words...

Leslie Maynard.

Are you sure that this is legal?

I'm a lawyer.

I know what's legal.

Thanks.

Cheers.

I want you to wear that neck brace whenever you go out.

We have a couple of ways to go here.

Any condition you suffer from now

that you'd like surgery for?

Basketball knee, tennis elbow?

No.

You're sure?

Yes.

Any other aches and pains in the last 36 hours besides the neck?

Nothing, really.

Let me ask you a question.

You must make out pretty well off these kind of deals,

don't you?

I do well when my clients do well.

And they're not deals.

Look, Jack, you're entitled to compensation

for what happened to you.

But we can't sue mother nature.

You understand?

OK.

I've been having a little trouble sleeping

the past couple of nights.

Nightmares?

No, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

I don't remember.

I'm sure it was due to the hot weather.

See this psychiatrist.

See this psychiatrist?

I can't afford a shrink.

All your medical bills will be covered.

Excuse me.

Mr. Cassidy?

- That's right. - Amos Cassidy?

Yeah.

Sergeant Hunter, LAPD.

We got trouble?

Well, Elliot Rogers said you may

be able to help me with a problem I've been having.

What's that?

Leslie Maynard.

Oh.

That woman ruined my life.

What else do you want to know?

Well, what the hell happened?

Well, I popped this gang banger the one night

he's in a liquor store to buy something.

He gets righteous with me.

I take him down.

I busted his nose.

The damn kid had 14 priors.

The judge said I didn't have probable cause.

The city council decides that I wasn't acting within the course

and scope of my duties.

Hell, I figured my duties were to put

these bastards behind bars.

I get stuck for $75,000.

I was a week this side of metro.

I passed the orals, I nailed the physical, everything.

Well, I said screw it.

I won't wear a badge for this damn city.

You got trouble all right.

That's for damn sure.

I can't believe this is happening.

They want a half a million dollars in damages.

Guy's in a neck brace.

Says he's permanently injured.

Yeah, he's going to be personally injured, all right.

What I don't understand is why they're suing the city as well.

Standard operating procedure in these cases.

So what do I got to do now, get a part time job?

I'll see you later.

Will, I am not selling my house.

Even in the shape it's in, you could get half a million.

We could buy a condo, travel, do anything we want.

I am doing what I want.

But Gloria, we could travel the world together.

I saw the world when I was making movies.

You saw Burbank.

You didn't even go to Acapulco when you made Acapulco Holiday.

The rest of the world is crowded and ugly.

Casa Encanta is my world.

You are my world.

What the hell is this?

Roland, Roland, Roland.

Hello?

Are you the guy in the papers?

The one that's suing that cop? - Who is this?

I'm warning you, you will never live

to see a nickel of that money.

You want to tell me who this is I'm talking with, please?

It's not important who I am.

Just remember, you won't be the first person that I've killed.

Who is this?

Hello?

Well, look, I can't do a deposition now.

Come on, it's OK, it's OK.

You know you're going to have to tell him, Maybelle.

I always get nervous around the police.

Tomorrow will be fine.

Sergeant Hunter?

Yeah, just a second.

This lady just saw our ATM killer.

How do you know it was him?

Looked just like the picture.

I keep it posted in my church...

Neighborhood watch, community awareness, you know?

Yeah, Rogers, let me call you right back.

Uh... yeah, yeah, thanks a lot.

What time did you see this fellow?

Silver lakes again?

Mr. Adams said he was shopping for food at the Neighborhood

Market when she saw him.

Captain?

I got a call from Dale Shawn.

Says he's got something for us, I'm headed down to the pawnshop

right now,

Good, good.

Get a down there, continue

to canvas the neighborhood.

Take Maybelle with you and do a house to house.

Let's get this guy.

Hey, Mr. Shawn, really appreciate your calling.

What do you got for me?

Well, I think maybe I was a little mistake.

Well, what do you mean?

As long as you're here, I'm about to close.

I thought maybe you and I...

What the hell do you think you're doing?

You're not going to get angry, are you?

You must get off duty sometime.

Listen, buster, you're about a minute and a half

from a jail cell.

Hey, I'm just trying to get a date.

I'll get you a date with a superior court judge.

I'm sorry.

OK, here we go.

I saw the man with my own eyes,

crossing Fountain on Delgado.

When was that?

Just the other day.

They ran right in front of me.

Almost hit them.

What do you mean, "they"?

The old movie star, Gloria Morrell.

She lives right up on Myra.

Well, tell me about her.

Oh, she's an old time actress from the 40s and the 50s.

Drives a 1950 Cadillac, real strange.

Ignores her neighbors.

Hardly ever comes out the house.

But lately, she's been taking walks with this man.

Sergeant?

Elliot Rogers is on the phone.

He says you're late for your deposition.

Look, I can't talk to Rogers now.

Tell him I went fly fishing.

He said when Hunter says he's going fly fishing,

tell him those were Cassidy's last words.

OK, Mrs. Adams, this is Officer Dorsey.

Have her show you the Gloria Morrell home.

Go there with her, wait until I get there, OK?

Thanks very much.

OK.

Why does everything with you have

to be a nutritional experience?

Because I love walking in the morning.

Gets those endorphins humming.

I'm going to work.

I don't know when I'll be back.

Oh, Will, it's your birthday.

You can't resist me, I won't let you.

All right, I'll cut off work early.

Got to do something.

Go to do something.

First of all, he fit the description of the man

we were looking for.

Secondly, when I entered the bar and identified myself to him,

he took off running.

Now, up until then, he was a suspect.

But when he took off running, he became a prime suspect.

So you weren't certain he was the right man

when you walked in?

Not until I talked to him, no.

Yet you chased him through a restaurant?

He said it was a bar.

Into rush hour traffic on a major thoroughfare?

It was not rush hour traffic.

It... it was mid-morning.

Yeah, look, how long is this going to go on?

Let the record show the respondent's

hostility and his expressed desire to leave the deposition.

I do have things to do, you know?

Yeah, do those things include issuing death threats?

Now what the hell does that mean?

Aren't we going a little overboard with our fabrications

here?

My client has received several death

threats over the telephone.

Well, it's no wonder.

Would you say that Sergeant Hunter's

voice is the same as the voice you heard on the telephone?

Yes, it is.

Where's Mrs. Adams?

Oh, she had to go home.

But she said she is available if you ever need her again.

Yeah, she's a kick, isn't she?

Yeah.

Yes?

Ms. Morrell?

Yes.

Gloria Morrell?

Yes?

Sergeant Hunter with LAPD

Police?

I hate to disturb you.

But we're looking for a man in this neighborhood.

Have you seen him?

Why yes, it's Philip.

Philip Martin. - Philip Martin?

So you know him?

Yes.

Well, is he here?

No, no.

He but he did live here.

I rented him a room.

He's a nice man.

Oh, I see.

Well, the reason I'm asking, Ms. Morrell,

is some of the neighbors have seen you walking

in the neighborhood with him.

Oh, yes.

Oh, well he did a lot of things for me.

He's a house painter.

He went to the store with me.

And then, of course, this neighborhood

is really going to the talks, Sergeant, you know?

Yes, I know.

When is the last time you saw Philip Martin?

Three... two days ago, when he moved out.

I barely said goodbye.

Do you know where he went?

East, I think.

He said something about the cold weather.

Uh, Ms. Morrell, would it be possible

for me to come and look around?

Oh, oh, the place is in a terrible mess.

Do... do you really have to?

Well, if it's an inconvenience, perhaps not...

Maybe another day.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you, Sergeant.

Thank you.

Hunter?

Mike from DHD called, said he'd call you direct with Gloria

Morrell's telephone records.

Oh, great.

Thanks very much.

I'll expect his call.

So, what are your chances in this lawsuit?

Oh, I would say about as good as a one-armed

man juggling chainsaws.

That good, huh?

Well, it'll be all right, I think.

- Molenski, call for you, 173. - Uh, yeah, thanks.

I'll take it at my desk.

See you later.

Thanks.

Officer Molenski.

This is Dale Shawn.

Look, Mr. Shawn, I really don't have time to waste.

Sorry.

It's a stupid thing.

I can make it up to you.

I got some of your stuff.

Woman's wallet, black, wristwatch, gold chain,

crucifix, key ring, diamond ring, 3.1 carats.

When did they come in?

Now, two minutes ago.

But it wasn't the guy.

It was some old bleach blonde, actress type, Gloria Morrell.

Gloria?

What's going on?

Happy birthday, Will.

Do you know what "happy birthday" is in Spanish?

Feliz cumpleanos.

Come on.

I've got something very special for your birthday.

Tickets to Acapulco?

First class airfare and hotel accommodations.

You sell the house?

No, I pawned the little surprises you

keep for me in the mannequin.

You pawned my things?

I pawned our things.

And the police were here.

The police?

Wait a minute, when?

Today.

Now we can walk on the beach in the moonlight.

Are you nuts?

Throwing away my money or garbage like this?

Stop it, stop it, Will.

What's wrong?

Is it because I took the things out of the mannequin?

I just wanted you to see Acapulco.

You are a stupid, stupid old woman.

Oh.

Will?

Yeah, Hunter. Yeah, hey, Mike.

How you doing?

Listen, thanks for calling back.

Yeah.

Look, what I needed to know was what did Dex turn up on Gloria

Morrell's phone print-out?

Yeah.

Yeah, just a second here.

OK, yeah, go.

Uh-huh.

Jack Rol... wait a minute, Jack Roland, R-O-L-A-N-D?

Yeah, when was that?

Uh-huh, how many times?

Three times.

OK, give me his address real quick, will you?

OK, Mike, well done.

Yep, thanks very much.

I want my money.

Who the hell are you?

I said, I want my money.

Here, take it, take it, take it.

I want the money you're going to get from suing that cop.

Stop stalling.

Listen, that suit hasn't been settled yet.

I just got a divorce.

I'm tapped.

You got money in the bank, don't you?

What do you mean, the bank?

I want an advance.

Don't you lie to me.

Look, I got like $500 in the bank.

That's all.

Then you're dead.

Drop the gun, police.

Is he dead?

Yeah, he's dead.

That guy is nuts.

Listen, I want to thank you for what you did for me back there.

I really thought that guy was going to kill me.

Mr. Roland, you forgot your damn neck brace.

Sergeant Hunter?

Well, Ms. Maynard, I take it your client

survived his ordeal last night.

I'm happy to say he's just fine.

I just wanted to let you know...

Oh, listen, no apology necessary.

I just wanted to let you know that one incident has

nothing to do with the other.

We still intend on proceeding with the suit.

Good, that'll give me a chance to present my three police

officers who saw your client dance around without his neck

brace on.

See you in court.

Ms. Morrell?

Sergeant Hunter.

Ms. Morrell?

I'm ready now.

Ms. Morrell, I came by to talk to you about Will.

Oh, is her here?

Yeah, well that's just it.

He won't be coming back.

But he's a millionaire playboy, you know?

He could have been a great actor.

But he was too rich, he was too busy to bother.

What about you, Sergeant?

Great profile.

Come to the party tonight.

Of course, you'll have to change.

Black tie.

We're going to have a cast party for Acapulco Holiday.

LP is coming.

Hedda will be here.

Sam Spiegel is bringing John Huston and Olivia de Havilland.

Cugi is playing.

We're going to samba all night long.

You do know how to samba, don't you, Sergeant?

I do so love to samba.

Well, you could at least rumba.

Sergeant?
