Tonight, on "hunter."

-We got lucky.

There's a witness.

Saw the whole thing going to her car.

-Laurie Conway?

-Rick.

-Laurie and I went to high school together.

Laure Conway was gonna be a movie star.

-She wound up with Eddie.

-I've always thought you were a jerk, Eddie.

I still do.

In high school, you were nothing but a con artist.

What do you think's going down?

-Well, I don't know, but I'll tell you one thing.

Eddie's behind it, whatever it is.

-Hi, Walter.

-Hi, Laurie.

How about I walk you to your car?

-That'd be great.

-Good.

-So how are you doing tonight?

-Not too bad.

-Yeah?

-How was your day?

-Oh, tired.

My feet are killing me.

-Oh, I don't blame you... Six, seven hours on your feet,

dealing with those people all day.

I don't know.

-Yeah, well, it's a living.

I'll be ok from here, Walter.

My car is right there.

-Ok, Laurie.

Good night.

-Thanks.

Bye bye.

-See you tomorrow.

I built this business on solid, reputable clients.

I haven't had any problems...

-Listen.

Now, we had a deal, and there's no way

you're backing out of this.

-The deal is finished.

-No, the deal is finished whenever I say it is.

-Get the hell away from me.

I know all about you.

-Now, that was a long time ago.

-I'm not letting you cheat my clients.

I'm pulling their money and mine out of this deal

and going to the police.

-I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't let you do that.

-Help!

Walter, Walter, there's a man down there!

Hurry, he's been shot in the parking lot.

He's after me with a gun.

-Frank, go call the police.

Calm down, Laurie.

It's gonna be ok.

-Oh, god.

-Hi, what's going on?

-Hi.

Victim's name is John Haines.

Owns a business management company

right here in the building.

The paramedic got the card out of his wallet.

Looks like he was shot close range, small caliber weapon.

-Oh, yeah?

A robbery?

-We ruled out robbery.

We got lucky.

There's a witness.

She's a hostess at the restaurant up the street.

Saw the whole thing going to her car.

She's over there.

-Oh, great.

Thank you.

-Listen, I've already spoken with her,

and she's, uh, well, she's kind of upset.

So why don't you go easy with her?

Use a little bit of your charm, ok?

It'll help us out.

Laurie Sanders, this is my partner, sgt. Hunter.

-Hi.

Laurie Conway?

-Rick.

Oh my god, what are you doing here?

-Well, you met my partner, sgt. McCall.

Uh, Laurie and I went to high school together.

Uh, are you all right?

-Yeah, I guess.

-Do you feel like talking to us and telling us what happened?

-Well, I was leaving work and I was coming to the garage,

and there were these two guys arguing.

The younger guy shot that guy.

-Could you hear what they were arguing about?

-Something about some business deal that fell through.

I don't know, you know?

It just... it all happened so fast.

I just took off.

The guy was chasing me, and I ran

to the security guards upstairs.

-You, uh, think this guy got a good look at you?

-Yeah, I think so.

-If you saw this man again, do you think you'd recognize him?

-I don't think i'd ever forget his face.

-So you think it's narrower through

here or it's rounder or...

-I... I think so.

-Ok.

Maybe like this?

-No, it's just... It's just not him.

-How we doing?

-I'm sorry, Rick.

I just can't seem to get it right.

-That's all right.

What do you think?

-Well, some people find it kind of hard

to describe what somebody looks like.

-Uh, you think it's going to get any better tonight?

-If I saw him again, I'd know him.

I'm sure of it.

-Look, why don't you take a break for tonight, ok?

-Yeah.

Come on, let's go home.

Maybe Eddie's home by now.

You come back tomorrow morning, look at some more mugshots.

Thanks a lot.

I take mine black, no sugar, Laurie.

Thank you.

-What's so funny?

-I was.

Did I even look like that?

-Well, you were skinny, but you were great looking.

You still are.

-Hey, whatever happened to Billy Stewart?

-Last I heard, he owned a diner in Phoenix.

-Diner in Phoenix.

Remember the time he bet Eddie he

could eat 20 hot dogs in 45 minutes?

-And Eddie stuck a hot pepper in every one of them.

-How is Eddie, by the way?

-Great.

I... I can't understand why he's not here.

Um, you know, he must've had some kind

of business deal or something.

Doesn't Eddie look great?

He's hardly changed since the day we got married.

There's Eddie's famous smile.

-Oh, I'll never forget the first time I saw it.

He had just beaten Tommy Alvarez in a drag race.

It was 3 o'clock in the morning, and that smile of his just

lit up the sky.

-You know, I gotta tell you this.

I'd have never in a million years

put you and Eddie together.

-Eddie's not like he was in high school, Rick.

He's not what people think he is.

There he is.

-Are you ok?

When I got home, the cops told me what happened.

I went down to the police station, but I missed you.

Are... are you sure you're ok?

-I'm fine.

I'm really fine.

-Good.

-Hi.

-Rick hunter?

-He's a police officer.

He's handling the case.

-Good to see you, Eddie.

-It's been a long time, Rick.

-Yeah.

How've you been?

-Oh, great.

-Good.

-If... if anything would've happened to you,

baby, I... I don't know what I'd do.

Come here.

-Well, look, I'll come back tomorrow, Laurie,

and, um, maybe you can take a look at some mug books.

In the meantime, just relax.

Everything's gonna be ok.

Eddie, good seeing you.

-Same goes for me, man.

-Take care.

- Thanks, Rick. - You're welcome.

Good night. - You too.

-Hunter looks good, huh?

-Yeah, he does.

-Sure you're ok?

-Well, I am now that you're home.

-You know, I've told you before.

I... I really don't want you to work nights.

-Eddie, I have to work.

-Yeah, but not for long.

I got a job offer in San Diego, sales rep

for a shipping company.

All I've gotta do is fly down in the morning and talk dollars.

-Well, that's great.

-Yeah.

Um, look, I'm a little short.

I'm gonna need some cash to get down there.

-Oh, Eddie, I gave you money on Wednesday.

-Yeah, but I had to buy a suit.

You know, I gotta look good for those guys.

You understand, don't you, honey?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, you understand.

I love you, baby.

-Oh, thanks, bill.

-Just talked to Mr. Haines' assistant, Arlene Miller.

She wants to talk with us in his office.

-Great.

You know, I was just sitting down here

thinking about how strange it was

running into Laurie Sanders that way.

I mean, this girl has changed so much,

you can't even believe it.

-You think she's changed?

I ran into this guy I went to grammar school with.

He was holding up a liquor store.

-What?

-Yeah, I had to arrest him.

-Where was I?

-Don't you remember that?

All through high school, Eddie was looking for an edge.

-She married the guy.

She must have seen something in him.

-Yeah, well, she had so much going for her.

I can't figure it out.

-Well, people change after high school, you know.

-I remember when she was a sophomore,

nobody knew who the hell she was.

And then over summer vacation, she

came back for her junior year... she just exploded.

-Is that when you started to date her?

-Yeah, right around her junior year, mostly her senior year.

We wound up very good friends, actually.

-So how come you lost touch?

-Well, you know.

I mean, after we all graduated, I went into the service,

and, uh, everybody else either went to El camino junior

college or got jobs and got on with their life.

But everybody agreed on one thing... Laurie Conway

was gonna be a movie star.

-She wound up with Eddie.

-Boy, did she.

-Look, I was John's personal assistant.

I was with him all the time.

His clients loved him.

I can't believe you'd even suggest one of them

might be a suspect.

-Well, presently, we don't have a suspect,

but we do have a witness who saw Mr. Haines

arguing with the man who killed him.

Something about a deal that fell through?

-I wasn't aware of anything like that.

-We'd still like to have the list, if that's ok.

-John represented a number of wealthy investors.

I'm... I'm not sure I even have the legal

authority to give you their names.

-Look, miss Miller, we're investigating a murder here.

We'd like to have your help on this.

If not, well, we're gonna get the list one way or another.

-Well, of course, I'd like to be helpful.

-Thanks very much.

-Uh, while you're at it, would you

please give us a list of all the investments

he put his clients into?

-Sure.

Poor John.

He was such a sweet man.

I can't believe anyone would want to kill him.

I had no other choice.

But did you have to kill him?

-He found out about the land deal

that we pulled down in Texas.

He was gonna pull all of his investors

off of palm breeze estates.

Now, that's $13 million, Mason, plus the $2 million of his own.

-There had to be a better way to deal with Haines.

-He was also gonna go to the police.

I just couldn't let that happen.

-Ok, ok, you did what you had to do.

-But, um, we've still got one little problem though.

-I don't want to hear about more problems.

-A woman saw me do it.

-Damn, Burke.

Can she identify you?

-I don't know, but I can't take that chance.

-Palm breeze estates.

Hang on, it's for you.

-Hello?

-Two detectives were just here.

I had to give them John's client list and also

the companies his clients invested in.

Al, I'm scared.

-Listen, just relax.

Everything'll be fine.

Look, I... I gotta go.

Yeah, I'll see you tonight.

Bye.

-This woman that saw you, what are you gonna do about her?

-Well, she was kind enough to leave her purse.

I took out one of her checks.

She lives on Meadow Lane, and her name is Laurie Sanders.

-We've got a lot of money at stake here, Alan.

-Who is it?

It's me, Mrs. Petelli.

-Hi.

-I'm sorry to bother you, Laurie.

I just came by for the rent.

-Oh, I'll get it for you.

-I heard what happened to you.

It must've been terrible.

-Well, I'm just glad it's over with.

-Mr. Sanders left very early this morning.

-He had to fly down to San Diego.

He's got a great job offer.

-I thought he got a job last month.

-No, it didn't work out.

But this should be more promising.

-Well, I hope so.

A nice girl like you should have children, not work nights.

-Bye bye.

-Anything new on the Haines murder?

-Oh, hi, captain.

No, uh, McCall and I are up to our necks in paperwork here.

-Well, here's a little more for you.

Keep me posted if anything turns up, eh?

-Great.

Hunter.

-Rick, it's Laurie.

I just went to go pay my rent, and I noticed

that one of my checks was missing.

-Yeah, what do you mean?

Well, when the man saw me,

I... I dropped my purse.

I didn't think anything of it, but...

-Laurie, I want you to lock the doors.

Stay inside.

Don't let anybody in.

I'll be there in five minutes.

Look for one of our black and whites.

-Rick, there's a man coming in the back door.

-Get in the car.

Keep your head down.

The guy's got a black jacket on.

He's riding a red motorcycle.

Well, Laurie, we think the guy that tried to kill you

today is the same guy that killed John Haines.

-Oh my god.

-Listen, we're gonna take you someplace

where you're gonna be safe.

We're gonna stop by your place, pick up your belongings,

take you to a safe house.

You'll have 24-hour protection there.

-But what about Eddie?

-Well, can't you reach him down in San Diego?

-Well, he was supposed to let me know, but he didn't.

-Look, it doesn't make any difference.

We'll have a police officer at your house

waiting for him when he comes home.

When he gets there, we'll have them take him over to you.

-I'm so frightened.

-It's gonna be all right, ok?

You'll be all right.

Come on.

-Hey, hunter.

-Hi, Don.

Detective Don mugaveru, Laurie Sanders.

-Nice to meet you.

-I'll, uh, try not to get in your way, ma'am.

You know, you make yourself comfortable,

and, uh, pretend I'm not here.

-You're not gonna be here, Rick?

-No, there'll be, uh, three detectives

rotating on eight-hour shifts.

-Oh, ok.

-There's your room right in there.

Go take a look.

-Ok.

-How we doing?

Secure?

-Yeah.

I've been through the place top to bottom.

It may not look like it, but this place

is built like a vault.

-Oh, good.

Thanks.

-You know, it's really not so bad.

-Oh, the city usually puts you up at a hotel as a safe house,

but, uh, this place fell into receivership some time ago

and we lucked out.

-Yeah, some luck.

I'm sorry.

Nothing like a little self pity, huh?

-That's all right.

You've been through a lot.

Listen... rest, relax, have a good night.

Uh, I'll see you tomorrow, huh?

-Yeah, ok.

-Thanks.

-Look, people, when these houses are completed,

this is gonna be one of the finest

residential developments in the area.

Now, we intend to presell as many of these homes

as possible, so this is your opportunity

to get in on the ground floor.

The ads will be running in all the newspapers this week.

So I suggest that you mobilize your sales forces,

start talking to your clients, and we

will all be making a lot of money.

Thank you, folks.

Good luck.

Good luck.

-Uh, Mr. Mason.

Sgt. Hunter, LAPD.

Uh, we're talking to all the companies

that John Haines had his clients invested in.

-Oh, it's a real tragedy.

John was a nice guy and a smart businessman to boot.

-Now, I understand he was invested in this project

pretty heavily.

-Oh, you bet.

-With his death, now how does that affect this project?

-Shouldn't affect it at all.

Most of his clients' money has already been invested.

We'll be going ahead as scheduled.

-I see.

Do you know if he had a business falling out recently?

-Well, uh, this is the only project

I'm involved with him on.

Do you know if he had any, uh, enemies at all?

-I really didn't know him that well.

-You didn't know him that well, but he did have $15 million

in your project.

-It's strictly business, sergeant.

-I see.

Look, I... I know you're on your way

out, so I won't hold you any longer.

If you think of anything else, call me

at that number in the lower righthand corner.

Appreciate it, huh?

Thanks.

How you doing, Eddie?

-Oh, hi.

When I got home, they told me what happened.

-Uh, look, the next time you leave town, what you should do

is leave a phone number so your wife can get a hold of you.

It's a pretty tough time for her.

-I know.

I'm sorry.

Is she all right?

-Oh, she's all right.

A little scared is all, but she'll be fine.

-Can I see her?

-Yeah, I'll take you to her now.

-You saved her life.

I owe you for that.

-Yeah.

Well, come on.

Uh, we'll stop by your place and get some things.

You may be at the safe house for a while.

-Let's not worry about that.

I can always go back and pick up my stuff later.

-Wait, you don't understand.

Once you're at the safe house, you can't be coming and going.

It could be dangerous for your wife.

You gotta stay there.

-Oh, wait a minute.

Uh, I just can't sit around there all day.

I've got appointments.

I've got interviews.

You're asking me to put everything on hold.

-All right, I'll put you up at a hotel

about two miles from the safe house.

Hi, bill.

This is detective Cruz.

This is Laurie Sanders' husband Eddie.

-How are you?

-How we doing?

-No problems.

Laurie's in the bedroom looking at mug books.

-Eddie?

-Oh, baby.

I'm so sorry I wasn't here.

-R and I sent over that information you requested on Steve Mason.

-Terrific.

Thank you very much.

Yeah, arrested in Dallas for land fraud.

Served two years.

-Dallas pd also sent over this photo.

-Yeah, great.

Now, Laurie, I want you to take a look at a photograph

here for me.

See if this is the guy that shot John Haines.

-No, I don't think so.

- No? - Uh-uh.

-You're sure about that?

-Yeah.

I'm sorry, Rick.

-Ok.

How are we doing on the mugshots?

-Not very well.

-Keep looking.

-Uh, look... look, I was wondering

if Laurie and I can be alone for a while.

-Well, sure.

I'll come back and take you over to the hotel.

Thanks.

Thank you.

-Ok, bill.

I got you covered.

-Where the hell have you been?

-You can stop worrying about the police.

They don't suspect a thing.

-Yeah, well, we got a bigger problem.

I just called the bank.

Haines stopped payment on his personal check for $2 million.

-So?

We got plenty of money without it.

-So I don't like loose ends.

-Look, relax.

Now, look, the... the check'll go back to Haines' office, right?

We'll just have Arlene intercept it, and she can cover for us.

It's not a problem.

-This whole thing has gone way too far.

-Look, you... you know the best thing you can do

is just go about business as usual

and forget about the whole thing.

It is not a problem.

You can't even stay tonight?

-Baby, if I stay at the hotel, I can still make some calls,

maybe meet a guy about a job.

-Eddie, what happened to the job in San Diego?

-I didn't get it.

-I thought you said it was a sure thing.

-Yeah, if I want to work for small change.

Now, they offered me a lousy 30 grand a year.

I... I can't work for that.

I... I told them to forget it.

-We need the money, Eddie.

-All right, I'll get a job!

I'll... I'll... I'll look in the want ads, what,

for the first lousy job I can find?

What, uh, delivery boy, shoe salesman?

Is that gonna make you happy, being married to some loser?

-Oh my god.

It's him.

-Who?

-The guy who shot Haines.

Look.

-You told hunter this wasn't the guy.

-No, not him, the guy standing behind him.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

I'm gonna call Rick.

-Put down the phone.

-What?

What's wrong?

-Just put down the phone.

Baby, don't you get it?

These guys are very rich.

-So?

-So I think our luck is beginning to change.

Ha, the LAPD doesn't exactly pop for the ritz, do they.

-Well, this is a good enough hotel, Eddie.

You'll be comfortable here.

-Hey, why don't we go down to the bar

and have a few drinks, talk about the good old days?

-I don't think so, Eddie.

I'm on duty.

Besides, I don't drink.

-You've never really liked me much, have you.

-I've always thought you were a jerk, Eddie.

I still do.

In high school, you were nothing but a con artist,

and now you're running around here

trying to find a decent job.

You know, I have no idea at all what Laurie sees in you.

-You know, that's one thing I always

liked about you, Rick... your honesty.

-Thank you.

-I know I haven't been the best husband in the world.

But, uh, right now, things are looking up for Laurie and me.

-Really?

Well, that's good, Eddie, for your sake as well as Laurie's.

See you later.

-Yeah.

-We're going to be building aing a first-rate recreation center...

Exercise room, jacuzzi, sauna, hot tubs, the works.

And each one of our homes is gonna be like a mini estate.

There's gonna be lots of equestrian trails.

There's gonna be mountains, fields.

-Excuse me.

Mr. Mason?

-That's right.

Can I help you?

-Um, I saw your ad in the paper.

-Oh, you're interested in one of our homes?

-Actually, uh, i'm interested in the gentleman

standing right behind you in your ad.

-Excuse me for a minute.

Why don't you folks have a look around?

How can I help you?

-Uh, the gentleman standing right behind you in your ad.

-What about him?

-He's a murderer.

-Who are you.

-Just a guy, a guy who... whose wife

saw your pal here murder John Haines.

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

Then why are you whispering?

So what's the big problem here?

-We've got a dozen dead ends on our hands.

We talked to everybody on Haines' client list,

and they all loved the guy.

-I don't know though.

When there's money involved, you can never be sure.

Maybe one of his clients had a grudge against him.

-Well, if that's true, I can't find it on paper.

Haines was a real moneymaker.

All of his people were earning top dollar on their investment.

You know, it just doesn't make any sense.

Killing this man would be like... it'd

be like killing the goose that laid the golden egg.

-Well, maybe the problem's at the other end

of the investment pipeline.

Maybe it was one of Haines' investments that went belly up.

-There's no paper trail, Charlie.

-Hunter still having a problem with this Steve Mason?

-Yeah.

The thing is, Laurie Sanders couldn't ID him.

-That's what I heard.

-Hey, listen, I think we may have a break on this case.

-What?

-I just spoke with John Haines' bank.

It seems the day he was killed he cancelled a personal check

for $2 million payable to Steve Mason.

-Well, it looks like Arlene Miller

was holding something back.

Pick her up.

-Hey, see this guy in the red corvette?

I saw him out at palm breeze estates.

Wonder what he's doing here.

-There's your answer.

Kinda cozy, huh?

-Yeah.

Let's go have a chat with them.

Miss Miller, how are you?

-Hello, sgt. Hunter, sgt. McCall.

These are the officers investigating John's murder.

-Oh.

-Could I see your license, please?

-Well, sure.

Is, uh, is there a problem?

-Uh, would you take it out of the wallet, please?

-Of course.

-Uh, didn't I see you out at palm

breeze estates the other day?

-Well, it's quite possible.

I know Mr. Mason, yes.

-Oh, I see.

Uh, sgt. McCall and I are wondering

if you two would like to come down to Parker center,

answer some questions for us.

-Look, sergeant, I have a very busy schedule.

-Oh, I understand that.

I was just thinking that maybe you

could shed some light on the Haines killing.

-Uh, it's not a problem.

Uh, we'd be glad to come along.

-Great.

Thanks very much.

Let me see now.

Where was I?

Oh, yes.

So you knew Mr. Haines put a stop payment on a $2 million

personal check to palm breeze estates.

-Of course I knew.

-Yeah.

Do you know why?

-There could be 100 reasons.

-Yeah.

Ok, now you two met through, uh, Mr. Haines?

-Uh, no, no.

Uh, Steve Mason introduced us.

-And you've been friends with Mr. Mason a long time?

-Oh, just a couple of years.

We've got some business deals together.

-Like palm breeze estates?

-Among others.

But no, I'm not personally involved in the day

to day operation of that project.

-I see.

So you don't know anything about the $2 million check?

-No, sir.

Sorry.

-I see.

Well, looks like you were involved in some other things

with Mr. Mason too, like land fraud in Texas.

Huh, arrested for armed assault in new Mexico.

-Yeah, you got three years on that one.

-Uh, yes, but I was released after two

years on good behavior.

Uh, listen, what... What's the point here?

-Well, the point here is that maybe Mr. Haines

found out who he was in business with and decided

to pull all of his clients' money

out of palm breeze estates.

-Listen, sergeant, if you're trying

to accuse me of anything...

-I'm not accusing anybody yet.

-Laurie, I've got $50,000 stashed away,

and it's only a down payment on a half a million dollars.

-Eddie, we can't do this.

-It's just about done, baby.

I get the rest tomorrow.

-What kind of life are we gonna have

if we have to look over our shoulders all the time?

-Half a million bucks will buy a lot of anonymity.

We... we could find a place to live

in Europe or South America.

It'll... it'll be like a dream come true.

Everything we've always wanted out of life will be ours.

-I'm scared, Eddie.

-Maybe hunter was right.

You deserve somebody better than me.

-Rick said that?

-Yeah.

That's why I wanna make it up to you, baby.

Take this one chance with me.

You know that I love you, don't you?

-Sgt. Hunter wants me to bring you downtown for a lineup.

-Uh, bring them in, please.

Ok.

Now, Laurie, just relax.

Take your time.

No big rush.

Turn and face forward.

-Do you see the man that shot John Haines?

-Uh, I'm not sure.

-Just take another look.

Just relax.

-He's not here.

-Laurie, I don't have to tell you how important this is.

Please be very sure.

-I don't see him.

-Take another look, please.

-Aren't I supposed to get a phone...

Officer: No talking.

-It's no use.

He's not here.

-Now, just a second, just a second, just a second.

What's going on here?

-I'm sorry, Rick.

-Well, take another look, please.

-Hey, if she said she didn't see him, she didn't see him.

-Yeah, just back off just for a second.

-Hey, wait a minute, pal.

She's my wife, and i'm telling you to stay out of this.

Come on, Laurie.

Let's go back to the safe house.

Laurie.

-Look, ids are difficult sometimes.

I know she said she got a good look at the shooter,

but maybe in actuality she didn't.

-Do you really believe that?

-Well, what do you think's going down?

-Well, I don't know, but I'll tell you one thing.

Eddie's behind it, whatever it is.

-You better talk to Laurie again.

-Yeah, first thing in the morning.

-Come on, let's go.

-I know what I have to take care of,

but I don't have to like it.

Oh, come on.

Now, don't put the blame on me.

I just did what I had to do.

I understand.

All right.

Goodbye.

Eddie Sanders, I have to pay him a half million dollars

to keep his mouth shut.

-Mason's right.

You know he is.

Please, al, listen to Mason.

Give the man his money and let it go.

It's the only way.

-It isn't the only way.

If I could find where the police have his wife hidden,

I could take care of them both.

-Please don't talk like that.

-Oh, hey, honey, honey, I'm sorry.

Hey, hey, hey, listen, listen.

You're right.

I'll give him the money, and then that'll be the end of it,

huh?

Ok, ok?

-Ok.

-How's it going, hunter?

-Hi, bill.

Look, gimme a couple of minutes with her, would you?

-Yeah, no problem.

-Yeah, thanks.

Laurie?

-Look, I know you think I let you down,

but I did the best I could.

-No, you didn't.

You recognized him, didn't you.

-No.

I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

-Yes, you do.

I saw your face, Laurie.

You recognized him.

He killed Haines, didn't he.

-I told you it wasn't him.

-No, no, you didn't tell me.

Eddie told me.

Stop lying to me.

Stop lying to yourself.

There's something wrong.

What the hell is going on?

-I can't.

-What do you mean you can't?

Come here!

What's going on?

What is going on?

Talk to me, Laurie!

-I told him not to do it.

He said they were rich.

-Who was rich?

-Mason and Burke.

-Wait a minute.

Eddie made a deal with Mason and Burke?

-Eddie told me that if I didn't identify Burke,

we'd have a lot of money.

He said our luck was gonna change.

-Where's Eddie right now?

-At the hotel.

-Bill, keep an eye on her.

Room service.

-Come on in.

Put it right over here.

Now, you're a tall one, aren't you.

-Yeah.

-Here, take this.

-Thanks.

-Wait, wait, wait.

Take this too.

-Thank you.

-Room service.

-I thought Mason was gonna bring the money.

-Well, I thought since you're such an admirer

of my photograph, it'd be really nice if we met in person.

-There's something you better remember.

If anything happens to me, my wife

can change her identification.

-Come on, Eddie, relax.

Here's your money.

-Oh, man.

Oh, man, that is beautiful.

Oh, man, that is beautiful.

Hey, why don't you stick around a little while?

I got a bottle of champagne.

I'll let you celebrate my future with me, eh?

-Why not, Eddie.

-This is William-56.

Show McCall and I code six at the seahorse hotel.

Eddie?

-You think Burke did this?

-Well, if he did, he must know where to find Laurie.

Rick, he's here!

The detective's been shot!

-Drop the gun right there!

-Stop!

-He's dead.

-I'll go check on Cruz, call for an ra.

-Ok.

-How did he find out where I was?

-He got the address from Eddie.

-Well, where's Eddie?

-He didn't make it.

Burke shot him.

Eddie's dead.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

-Steve in r and I wants these back as soon as possible.

-Well, now, wait a minute.

He knows I'm keeping them for two weeks, doesn't he?

-He knows that, but sooner's better.

-Ok.

-Hunter, did we get back the ballistics

on that Campbell case yet?

-Uh, later today.

-Oh, that's good.

That's good.

By the way, the da decided to give Arlene Miller

a deal if she'd roll over on Steve Mason.

-And she jumped on it, right?

-Without batting an eye.

-Wow.

-Rick.

-Hi.

-You heard what happened in court?

-Well, two years' probation isn't bad.

-I heard you put a good word in for me

with the district attorney.

Thanks.

-Oh, you're welcome.

-Rick, I just wanted to say how sorry I am.

I knew what Eddie wanted me to do was wrong.

I just didn't know how to say no.

I guess that was always the problem I had with Eddie.

-Listen, forget about it.

What are you gonna do now?

-I don't know.

I've been doing a lot of thinking the past three weeks.

I'd really like to take a shot at some of those dreams

I had when I was a kid.

-That's great.

Listen, if I can help you, let me know.

I will.

-Thanks, Rick.

See ya.

-Ok.

Bye.
