Original subtitles

Hey, I've got your guitar!

Do we talk, or do I trash this thing?

The D.A. wants one of you to testify

in the giuliano case. Who's it going to be?

Hunter. McCall.

You know, you'd make a pretty good cop.

But you'd make a lousy show girl.

Woman: Help! He's trying to kill me!

Now, Rick, you know I want kids.

Yeah.

Sergeant McCall, you may be the first mother

standing by at the delivery of her own baby.

Oh! Lookit. Look at that.

Is she beautiful?

Have a nice day. Bye.

Yeah?

Man: Edna watley?

Yeah. What do you want?

I have a package for you.

I'm just getting into the tub. I can't now.

Just leave it there.

Outside the door?

No, no. Inside the courtyard. I'll buzz you in.

Yes? What is it?

We have a plumbing problem, Ms. Palevsky.

Mr. Warren wants me to check your bathroom.

Ok. Just a minute.

Billy, what do you got?

The victim was shot in the head

at close range

with a small caliber handgun,

probably a .22.

She's alive, but barely,

and she looks to me to be

6 or 7 months pregnant.

Oh, my god.

Well... what do we got in the way of evidence here?

Well, according to this New York state

driver's license,

she's Irene palevsky, 21, from buffalo.

Any evidence of robbery?

Doesn't look like it.

They didn't even bother to come in.

Just shot her right there

in the doorway.

How long ago do you think that was?

Neighbor edna watley found her.

She put in the call to us

at about 4:27.

Woman: Edna! Edna! Edna!

What's going on? What happened? Edna!

Ma'am.

Thank you.

Ms. Watley?

I'm sergeant hunter.

I understand you're the one

that discovered Ms. Palevsky's body.

Yeah. I live right next door to her.

Poor baby. I tell you,

I don't understand none of this.

Who'd want to hurt that sweet child?

Now, when you heard the gunshots...

I didn't hear no shot.

I went out to the lobby to pick up a package

supposed to be left there for me,

only there wasn't nothing there.

And when I come back, I seen Irene's door open

and her... just laying there.

Now, are you sure you didn't hear anything

that sounded like a car backfiring?

Look, there ain't nothing wrong

with my ears. I'm telling you,

I didn't hear no shot.

And my TV wasn't on, neither.

Now, you say you went down for a package.

Yeah. It come when I was taking a bath,

so I told the guy

to just leave it in the lobby,

only it wasn't there when I went out there.

You talked to him on the intercom?

Yeah, when I buzzed him in.

What time was that?

Oh... let's see.

It must have been about 4:00.

Yeah, 'cause I didn't go take my bath

until after your lucky day

was over with, and...

Your lucky day?

Yeah. The game show your lucky day.

You could win dinettes and...

I thought you said

your television wasn't on, though.

Well, I always turn it off

when my program goes off.

Oh, yeah.

Now, what about Irene's friends?

Tell me about them.

Well, she's only been here

a couple months.

She didn't have no friends

except for me and sister Nora

over at St. Agnes' hall, you know?

They was helping her with the baby.

Yeah.

Would you happen to have sister Nora's address

and phone number?

Oh, sure, I do.

Irene give it to me in case of...

Emergency.

It's in my apartment.

Hunter: Anybody you talk to hear gunshots?

Nobody.

Must have been a silencer.

That'd make it a professional hit.

That doesn't make any sense.

She's just a kid.

It sure doesn't. Let's go find out why.

I'm going to go over to the hospital.

I'll drop you off at sister Nora's.

She's more your type.

Woman: Forgive the emotional display,

but I... I still find it difficult to accept.

Dear lord, that child was such a gentle creature.

Who would possibly wish her any harm?

Are you sure it wasn't a robbery?

It doesn't appear to be.

Sister Nora, I need for you to tell me

anything you can about Irene.

That's very little, I'm afraid.

The most important thing we offer these girls

is confidentiality.

The only reason we ask them for their birth certificate

or driver's license

is we're required to by law to be sure they aren't minors.

Well, what about the father

of Irene's baby?

Did she have any contact with him?

No.

He was back home, not here in Los Angeles.

She didn't even tell him she was pregnant.

Back home. You mean in buffalo?

Why, yes. That's where her family is.

Do you know if she tried to contact the family there?

Well, I tried to persuade her

to tell them the truth,

but she wouldn't hear of it.

The thought of their finding out she was pregnant

simply terrified Irene.

So... she invented a story

that she was traveling in Canada

as an exchange student,

and she'd call them every 10 days or so

from Canada.

Did you ever try to call the parents?

Oh, good heavens, no.

That would be violating an irrevocable trust.

If we didn't offer that,

many of these girls would opt for abortion.

But palevsky is hardly a common name.

I'm sure if you call buffalo information...

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, thank you.

Hello?

McCall: Is this Mrs. Palevsky?

Yes.

Yes. Who is this?

My name is Dee Dee McCall.

I'm with the Metro police in Los Angeles.

Uh...

Mrs. Palevsky, do you have a daughter named Irene?

Yes.

The bullet entered the frontal lobe,

causing massive brain damage

before lodging there.

I don't understand.

Is Irene going to be all right?

Mrs. Palevsky,

the reason I asked to see you

before you saw your daughter

is that when she arrived

at the hospital, she was brain-dead.

Her condition is irreversible.

I'm sorry. There was nothing we could do.

I want to see my daughter.

That's not my daughter!

It's not Irene.

Take another look, Mrs. Palevsky.

Be absolutely sure.

I don't have to. I know my daughter.

This isn't her.

I'll send you a picture. Then you'll see.

I'm very sorry about this poor girl,

but she's not my daughter.

Irene left home

after her father died 3 years ago.

She said she was going to get money

and send some to me,

but... I didn't hear anything.

No letters. She didn't call.

She was always going to do something big.

Nothing ever worked out for her.

When was the last time you saw her, Mrs. Palevsky?

6 months ago.

I came home,

and there's Irene on the stoop

waiting for me.

How long did she stay?

2 months.

She was very distant.

I couldn't get her to talk to me.

And then one day,

I came home, and she'd cut off all her hair.

I mean, all of it. To here.

She'd always been so proud of her hair.

I was very upset about that.

The next morning, she was... she was gone.

Did she leave a number or an address

where you could reach her?

Nothing.

Ready, sergeant.

Ms. Palevsky, this is officer Garrett.

He's going to take you to the airport.

We're very sorry

to have to put you through all this.

Oh, it's ok. Believe me, it's ok.

And we'll keep you posted until we find Irene.

You'll look for her?

Oh, yes. We've got to find her fast.

You think that somebody wants to kill Irene.

Well, there's a good possibility of that, yes.

Be sure to send us that picture.

It'll help.

I'll send it as soon as I get home.

Have a nice flight.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

We'd better find that girl fast.

Whoever put the hit on her is going to try again

as soon as they figure out they killed the wrong girl.

Good morning, McCall. Good morning, hunter.

How are you, Charlie?

Glad to see you looking so happy

and relaxed this morning

because I got some depressing news for you.

The D.A. wants one of you to testify

in the giuliano case. Who's it going to be?

Hunter. McCall.

You work it out.

Whoever it is, in my office in 10 minutes.

No. Wait.

I want this case.

You don't want to flip for it?

No.

Let me have this case, ok?

There's something, uh, something about it

with the girl and the baby

and everything. Just... I want the case, all right?

Sure. Thanks.

Yeah. I'll, uh, I'll make Charlie

wait 10 minutes,

and then I'll go tell him.

McCall: This one's in I.C.U. With a bullet in her brain.

Pregnant Jane Doe. She was hiding from her parents

using this one's I.D., one Irene palevsky.

And this picture is about 3 years old.

Her hair's cut a lot shorter now.

We think she might have been the target

for the bullet that Jane Doe took.

Might have been?

You mean you're just guessing?

Well, it's one of the things I do best, Mike.

By the way, we drew a blank on Jane Doe's fingerprints.

She didn't have a car, so she probably never had any taken.

You love to complicate my life, don't you?

Complicate it? What? I got you the dental history

on Jane Doe. Look at that.

There's 3 fillings, one impacted wisdom tooth,

and I have for you here

everything that we have on Irene palevsky.

It's not great,

but it's not bad under Jane Doe, I mean.

And if somebody has filed

a missing person's report on her,

well, I can probably get you something

from the computer in a couple of hours.

Well, I don't think...

You're going to find anything in the computer.

Now what?

The girl told her family

she was traveling with a group of students in Canada,

so they don't think of her as missing.

So there's no report.

Have you got any conception

what it's gonna be like to try to find

this girl's family?

I mean, just using this stuff?

Look at this girl's face.

I wouldn't recognize her if she was my daughter.

And for her dental x-rays...

They're not gonna mean nothing

until somebody starts looking for her.

Well, concentrate on Irene.

Maybe she knows who this Jane Doe is.

Put a picture in the paper.

Maybe a little local news coverage is all we need.

Yeah. You know, that's all you ever give me

is a bunch of mights and maybes.

Well, that's why we come to you, Mike.

'Cause you're the expert on mights and maybes.

Really? Yeah.

Ok.

Do me a favor. Cut out this coffee.

It's making you nervous.

Mmm. Yeah. Too much caffeine.

What do you put in here, anyway?

Sergeant, I appreciate your concern,

but the hospital ethics committee met this morning.

Now, if someone doesn't come forward soon

to claim responsibility,

administration will have to ask the court

to appoint a guardian.

It'll be up to the guardian

to decide if and when

life support will be discontinued.

What are you saying?

Are you saying that some stranger

is going to be able to decide the fate of the baby

that's inside that girl?

The hospital can't assume responsibility

indefinitely.

If you can't find out who your Jane Doe is,

we'll probably be instructed

to turn off life support.

In the meantime, we're doing ultrasound tests

and we're monitoring the heartbeat,

just in case.

What about amniocentesis?

The results of that test won't be in for 10 days.

Preliminary findings

show the lungs aren't developed

and there's a hole in the heart.

Are you saying the baby can't make it?

No. It's not uncommon for a 27-week fetus

to have a hole in its heart.

Under normal circumstances, it would usually close

just before or after birth,

but normal circumstances don't prevail in this case.

So, what you're telling me is,

if somebody doesn't come forward to claim responsibility here,

some court-appointed guardian

is going to be able to pull the plug?

All right. Easy, sergeant.

Take it easy.

Just how long we can keep Jane Doe's body functioning

is an unknown,

and it doesn't look very promising.

How long is it going to take

for the court to appoint this guardian?

Some time tomorrow. Day after at the latest.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Sooner or later,

her parents will realize she's missing

and they'll call the police,

but that might take days, even weeks.

I understand the hospital's point of view.

It costs a mint of money

to keep someone on life support,

not to mention delivering a baby

that might have its own medical problems.

Dee Dee, the hospital is not

a charitable institution,

nor is it an adoption agency.

We're talking about a child here!

I think I know that.

Now relax. Take it easy.

I happen to agree with you.

I happen to believe

that your Jane Doe's parents

probably will show up soon.

So... I'm granting you your 72-hour injunction.

Woo woo!

Thank you!

Which means, by the way,

the county is footing the bill for the 3 days,

so please, don't let me down.

I won't.

Dr. Lynch to radiology. Dr. Lynch to radiology.

Dr. Proper, 3 north. Dr. Proper, 3 north.

What's all this?

Read it.

It's a restraining order that prevents the hospital

from taking instructions from anyone

to pull the plug on Jane Doe's life support system

for an additional 3 days.

Good for you, sergeant.

Sit down.

Have a steak.

Surprisingly enough, they're very good here.

That's not the reaction you expected, huh?

Did you think I was drooling

to pull the plug on Jane Doe and her baby?

Well...

No. I, uh...

I just thought you weren't very concerned.

Do police officers

indulge their emotions on their cases?

No.

Actually, we have to keep a certain distance.

But you're not willing to assume

that doctors do, too?

You know, sergeant,

everything I've done since I was 18 years old,

I've done because I wanted to save lives,

preserve them with dignity and comfort.

All my instincts

make me want to deliver that child

and hand her over

to someone who will love her

and take care of her.

Boy, I feel pretty stupid.

Good. I want you to.

You want some coffee?

Uh, yeah. Thank you.

I'm very sorry.

I thought that...

You were rather cold and callous,

and I was very wrong.

I'm sorry.

You know, when I started in medicine

20 years ago,

the world was a lot simpler.

Life support systems were primitive,

and all these complex ethical questions

hadn't been asked yet.

What I'm trying to say is,

the ethics committee

tries to do the right thing.

But we have rules and regulations,

and the hospital operates

on a stringent budget

and has to obey those rules

and not take on responsibilities

that belong elsewhere.

So it warms me...

When somebody like you comes along

and forces us to do

what we wanted to in the first place.

By the way,

any progress finding Jane Doe's parents?

We don't have too much to go on...

But we're doing everything we can.

What was your name again?

Tiffany!

Oh, yeah. Right.

What about your boyfriend now?

Oh! So, anyway,

I'm going with this guy named Todd, right?

And we are just, like,

really, really super in love with each other

and everything like that, and the only problem

is he works in this really cool club,

and one night, this, like, totally bogus girl

shows up, you know?

And Todd, like, dumps me! Couldn't even believe

he could do such a cold thing like that.

And then I read in the newspaper

that the police were looking for this Irene palevsky

and everything,

so I, like, came right down.

Why?

Why what?

Why did you come right down?

Because, like, that was her name... Irene palevsky.

Oh, yeah. Right.

Like I'm going to forget her name.

I mean, she took my boyfriend away from me,

and the name palevsky

is absolutely branded on to my memory forever for life.

Is that her?

Oh, my god. Yes!

This face has been branded on my memory, too,

only you know something?

She didn't have, like, all this hair and stuff.

Like, her hair when I saw her

was, like, really, really, really short.

It was totally ugly. It was absolutely disgusting.

I mean, I wouldn't even wear my hair like that.

I wouldn't be caught dead with that hairstyle on me,

you know what I'm saying? But... yes, that's her.

Once she moved in on Todd,

he could not even remember my first name.

Now, look, uh, your boyfriend is Todd who?

My ex-boyfriend, please. His name is Todd Logan,

and he's a real, real super fox,

and he works at the cosmos club on pico.

And he plays guitar... Lead guitar, even,

with the stiff Springs.

Have you heard the stiff Springs?

They're a really, really good band.

Uh, now when did all this happen?

With Irene, I mean.

Her showing up and everything.

Ok. Well, she, like,

first came into the picture,

like, 9... let's see.

No. Maybe, like, 10 weeks ago.

Yeah.

But listen, sir,

can I just ask you a really quick question?

It's kind of important. I was just wondering...

Is she, like, um...

Is she, like, in trouble or anything like that, you know?

Not that I know of, no.

Oh, good. 'Cause, like, for the longest time,

I was just, like, totally mad at her,

you know what i'm saying? And then one day,

I just woke up and I just realized out of the blue

that, hey, it's just, like, such bad Karma,

so I said to myself, "ok, Tiffany, just be big."

So... I wouldn't want anything bad to happen

to her or anything.

Hunter?

I got 3 more days.

Oh. Hey, listen, is that fantastic.

Good for you. Oh, boy.

Look, I have to get back to court,

and I'd like to have you, sweet pea,

tell her everything you just told me,

and I mean everything.

Ok.

And, uh, good luck to you.

Ahem.

Hi. So, what's your name?

Well, my name is Tiffany,

but, like I was telling this tall man

that's leaving right now, um, my ex-boyfriend,

who is a real, total, total babe...

His name is Todd Logan and everything?

And he's, like, working at the cosmos club

on pico boulevard,

and if there was a rock magazine for gq guys,

he would be in it. I swear to god.

Todd Logan here?

Over there.

Todd Logan?

Who wants him?

Los Angeles metropolitan police.

Can we talk?

Yeah. Sure. Just a minute.

Hey, I've got your guitar!

Do we talk, or do I trash this thing?

Please, lady, be careful.

Don't even hold it like that.

You could drop it.

Do we talk?

Yeah, yeah.

Just bring it down real easy.

That's right.

Talk about what?

About Irene.

Irene?

Why didn't you say so, for god's sake?

You know, with Irene gone,

this is the only good thing I got left.

You gave me a full scare, you know?

Tell me about her.

We were together for, like, 9 or 10 weeks.

I didn't know it was possible

to feel like that about a chick,

you know?

Then one night, we heard on the radio

that a girl named Irene palevsky's

been shot.

Irene looks sort of shocked, you know?

I told her it must have been some sort

of weird coincidence or something, right?

Then I went to work.

When I got home, she was gone.

Nothing left but a note.

What'd it say?

It said, "I love you.

"Someday I'll call and explain.

Don't forget about me."

Like I could forget about her, right?

Did she call?

No, but I'm waiting.

What did Irene do

before she came here to L.A.?

She said she was a show girl

in Las Vegas.

We had this chance

to go to Vegas together...

A weekend gig,

all expenses paid, right?

So I tell Irene about it,

and she gets all paranoid,

says she never wants to go near there.

I asked her why,

and she said, "don't ask."

I turned the weekend down.

Are you going to look for her?

Yeah.

When you find Irene, will you tell her

I didn't forget about her?

Tell her to come home.

I'll tell her, Todd.

She's the best thing

that ever happened to me.

She was a show girl there 6 months ago.

Her real name is Irene palevsky,

but I don't think she was using it.

I'm going to send you a picture of her

with a detective vasquez.

He's coming up in the morning

with a prisoner he's going to deliver to you guys.

And do me a favor... Put a rush on it

because we think the girl's a hit target. Yeah. Thanks.

Ray, do me a favor...

If hunter or anybody else calls,

tell them I'll be at the hospital.

Ray: You got it.

Man: Hunter.

This message just came in for McCall from Las Vegas P.D.

Irene palevsky used the name Gloria bouchet.

Bouchet disappeared 6 months ago.

She can call detective feeney.

Thank you very much.

Sure.

Hi. Can I help you?

Are you sergeant McCall?

No. I'm sergeant hunter.

Sergeant McCall is my partner.

Stacy Collins.

Stacy, how are you?

I drove all night from Vegas

after the last show. The police called me

and said that sergeant McCall

had made an inquiry about Gloria bouchet.

Hmm. Yeah.

If this is her,

she's better known here as Irene palevsky.

That's her.

But in Vegas, she's just Gloria bouchet.

She was my roommate and closest friend

for over 2 years.

About 6 months ago, she disappeared.

No note. No call.

It was kind of like losing a sister.

I've been scared to death.

If you know what's going on with her,

could you tell me?

Can I buy you a cup of coffee?

Sure, if I can get some breakfast

to go along with it.

I know just the chef. Come on.

Apparently, she and Todd had a pretty good thing going

until she got scared and took off again.

Thank you.

Did you talk to this Todd Logan?

I didn't personally, no.

My partner sergeant McCall did, though.

That's how we found out she'd been in Las Vegas.

And that's all this Todd Logan

could tell you?

Well, he might know more,

but that's all we've got for now.

Where can I find him? Why?

Well, because people tell cops

only what cops ask.

People tell show girls everything.

You know, you'd make a pretty good cop.

But you'd make a lousy show girl.

Oh.

I do my homework, Dee Dee.

That 3-day extension I granted you

cost the county $13,750,

and you're no closer to finding your Jane Doe

than you were then.

But we are. Every day that those parents

don't hear from that girl,

that's another day closer they come

to reporting her missing.

Every police department here and in Canada

has a physical description of her

and a copy of her dental x-rays.

Please, just extend the injunction

a few more hours. Just 48 hours, 24 hours.

What about the cost of keeping your Jane Doe alive?

Be practical a moment, please.

Practical? We're talking about a child.

What if the child is born with serious defects?

People looking for babies,

they want to know what they're getting.

Listen to me. I happen to think

that child is going to be very healthy

when it's born.

With a hole in its heart?

I've done my homework, too.

One out of every 10 unborns

has this problem at 6 months.

The hole usually seals up shortly before

or right after birth.

That may be true, Dee Dee...

But the hospital won't assume responsibility,

nor will anyone else.

Byron, just listen to me for a minute, all right?

If no one else is going to accept responsibility

for that baby, then I will.

Just wait a minute.

I've given this a lot of thought. I really have.

Now, I think that baby's going to be normal,

and I'm willing to take responsibility.

Will you help me?

I'm going to protect you from yourself.

I'm going to Grant you one more 24-hour extension.

Use the time to think it over.

After that, if you still want to do it,

I'll get the ball rolling to appoint you her guardian.

Thanks.

Hunter: It just seems so funny. Most women have 9 months

to prepare themselves for this.

I mean, it's virtually happened to you overnight.

You know, what if... what if the baby

comes into this world with a...

A birth defect?

A birth defect. Yeah.

I know the odds. I know the circumstances.

I know that it could happen,

but to tell you the truth...

I feel inside that it won't.

I really, really do.

And even if it does, that is all the more reason

that I will need to be there for that baby.

Well, yeah. I mean, I understand that.

What I need to know is,

is that your decision about this

is based on fact and reality,

not on emotion and circumstance.

Well, emotion and circumstance

obviously do enter into this,

but here are the facts...

That baby needs a parent desperately.

Now, I can fill that need.

What's more is, I want to.

Now, I am moving carefully.

I am moving deliberately.

I have thought about this

for a long time.

Rick, you know I want kids.

Yeah.

That's something that's very important to me.

And... I feel ready.

I really do.

Let me play devil's advocate

with you here on one subject.

What if somebody steps forward

and puts a claim on that child?

Well, then I will have to deal with that

if and when it happens, but till it does,

I'm all that that baby has, and I know it.

I can't turn my back on that. Could you?

You're pretty clear about all this, aren't you?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I like you.

Dispatcher, on radio: L-56, come in, please.

L-56, come in, please.

L-56. Go ahead.

L-56, we have a patch-through

for sergeant hunter.

Yeah. Patch them through.

Stacy: Hunter, this is Stacy Collins.

Stacy, what's happening?

Real quick question... Are you having me tailed?

No. Why?

Somebody in a beige sedan is following me.

Where are you right now?

I'm at my hotel. Wilshire and oakhurst.

What kind of car you driving?

Well, I've got a blue mustang convertible.

Ok. Here's what I want you to do.

In 10 minutes,

leave your place and drive north on riverside drive.

As you come to los feliz, cross los feliz

and go into Griffith park. I'll pick you up there.

And once you're inside the park,

make a series of right- and left-hand turns,

and we'll be able to find out who's following you.

You got that?

You got it. 10 minutes.

Who was that?

Stacy Collins. Somebody's following her.

McCall: L-56.

Dispatcher: L-56, go.

I'd like a 10-28 and 29

on California license number

2-David-Charlie- Lincoln-3-1-0.

10-4, l-56.

Dispatcher: L-56, on California license number

David-Charlie- Lincoln-3-1-0,

a 1987 olds registered

to abc auto rental, Los Angeles.

No wants, no warrants.

10-4. I'll be stopping the vehicle

at los feliz boulevard northbound.

L-56, you want a backup unit?

Negative at this time. Will advise.

Metropolitan police.

Get out of the car very slowly

and put your hands on the roof, please.

Hey, I'm a cop, for god's sakes.

Las Vegas P.D.

My badge is in my right jacket pocket.

Where's your gun?

Left side.

Ok, sergeant roncoe.

What are you doing following this lady?

I'm on a case. Miss Collins is involved.

What case is that?

The strauber murder in Las Vegas.

Her roommate Gloria bouchet was an eyewitness.

Well, usually when a police officer

from another jurisdiction

comes in to work

on one of our cases, they notify us.

I just got in town early this morning.

I didn't want to lose her.

Stacy: I don't know how you found me,

and I'm not so sure I want to know.

All this is making me kind of nervous.

I wonder if you or sergeant McCall

could follow me back to my hotel.

Sure. Uh,

this is my partner sergeant McCall.

She'll take you to the precinct,

where you can meet our captain devane.

He'll show you our case file.

Much obliged.

Sergeant, shall we?

Hey, there's something fishy about this guy.

Yeah? What's that?

The strauber murder.

If Gloria was an eyewitness,

she never told me about it,

and the police never came around

to ask either one of us any questions.

Yeah? Ok. Come here.

Here's what I want you to do.

I want you to go back to your hotel, check out,

and check into another hotel.

You got that?

After you do, let me know where you are.

And you'll keep me posted?

Yes, I will.

Yeah. Las Vegas, please.

The number of the las Vegas police department.

Ray: McCall, we've been looking for you.

Got a couple of messages for you.

Dr. Schneider called. Your Jane Doe has toxemia.

They're going to have to take the baby by c-section

as soon as they've got an available O.R.

And a call from Todd Logan. Said he heard from Irene.

She's going to be staying at a friend's house

in Malibu canyon. He left an address.

Here it is, and that's a 6.

Ray, I love you.

Do me a favor, will you?

This is detective sergeant Nick roncoe

with Vegas P.D.

He needs to talk to captain devane

and probably get a look at this file.

Show him around, will you?

You got it.

I'm not going far.

I'll be back before closing time.

Sure. Thanks.

It looks like the captain's in with someone right now.

I'll just check with the secretary

and let him know we got to see him.

Ok.

Ray, where's McCall?

Ray: Hunter, she left here like a shot

just a few minutes ago.

She went to the hospital, I think.

You know, she wanted me to introduce the captain

to this Vegas cop,

but the guy's not where I left him.

Listen to me very carefully.

That guy is not a cop.

You got that, ray? He is not a cop.

Think hard. Where did he go?

She left a file on her desk. It's gone.

There was a message in it

that I took for her from a Todd Logan,

something about Irene

and a house in Malibu canyon.

I remember the address.

It was 316 terra cotta way.

Ok. Great. Listen very carefully.

Have McCall paged at the hospital,

the o.B. Ward.

Tell McCall that I talked to Vegas police.

They told me that roncoe has not been a police officer

for over 6 months. You got that?

Also, give her the information you just gave me

and tell her I'm on my way to that location, code 3. Got it?

Got it.

McCall: You mean in the operating room?

Sergeant McCall, you may be the first mother standing by

at the delivery of her own baby.

Sergeant McCall, you have an urgent call

from your headquarters.

We start the procedure at 6 P.M. sharp.

I'll be there.

Thank you.

Yeah. This is McCall.

Ray, I cannot thank you enough.

Yeah. I got it. Terra cotta way.

Right. Thank you.

Can I make a call from here?

Sure. Dial 9.

Todd, listen to me. Call Irene,

tell her to get out of that house right now.

You stay where you are. We'll call you.

Come on. Get the ball.

Speak! Speak!

All right! Good dog. Ok. Get the ball.

All right! Good dog!

All right! Good dog!

Good boy. Yeah.

You want it? Come on. Jump.

Hi.

Irene: Help!

Help me, please! Somebody!

Help!

Help!

Irene!

Oh, please help me! He's trying to kill me! Oh!

You all right?

Yeah. I'm fine. Thanks.

Hunter?

You ok?

Yeah. We're fine.

This is Irene. This is Dee Dee.

Hi.

Hi. I want to get back to the hospital.

They're taking the baby. I want to be there.

Get going. I'll see you there.

You know this guy?

Guy's name is Nick roncoe.

Yeah. I saw him kill a man named strauber.

Let's call your mother.

Oh, come here!

Come here! Lookit. Look at that.

Is she beautiful? She's so tiny.

Boy, she's terrific.

Oh, she's gorgeous.

Look at that little face.

She's great.

Oh, she's beautiful.

What? What?

Well, I went back to the precinct

and ran into Mike Harrison,

who was at my desk.

He found Jane Doe's next of kin.

They're farmers from Wisconsin.

It's for the best, right?

Ohh.

Yeah. I guess. Yeah.
