0:01:19 > 0:01:26Children of the night? Hi. How do you like working midnight to eight? We don't.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Not if we get mugged twice tonight. I know what you mean.
0:01:29 > 0:01:35Two kids found the body a half hour ago. Samuels has come from Brooklyn?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38You don't enter a crime scene!
0:01:38 > 0:01:43Negative. He was sleeping at the station when we caught this one.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Don't ask me why.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Strangled.
0:01:48 > 0:01:56I'd say in her early 20s. We got a lot of work to do. Start with those two space cadets who found the body.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01Opal and Hilary Durrell? You're detectives? Which one is Opal?
0:02:01 > 0:02:08I'm Opal. I'm not. We found her. It was gross. Totally.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Are you two in a play?
0:02:11 > 0:02:18No. Costume party? For the Rocky Horror Picture Show, celebrating my 47th time.
0:02:18 > 0:02:25It's a movie. They run it at midnight on weekends. All the kids dress up. It's really something.
0:02:25 > 0:02:32I bet. Does your mother know you're out this late? No, she works nights, but if she found out...
0:02:32 > 0:02:39She'll know if we don't get the last train to Larchmont. You'll miss it. I've got to ask you some questions.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43You wanna come with me? Over here!
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Give me your mother's number. I'll explain. 555...
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Some time tonight, OK? ..914? Mm-hm. OK.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59How long does it take to get a phone number? I'm sorry, sir.
0:02:59 > 0:03:06We can rule our robbery - she had money in her purse. From round here? No. Roseanne Fiello, 24,
0:03:06 > 0:03:12Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Lived with her parents. Anybody notify them?
0:03:12 > 0:03:18Yeah. I sent La Guardia to pick up her boyfriend. Get Isbecki. He's off. Get him in!
0:03:18 > 0:03:22We're staying on this until we get something.
0:03:26 > 0:03:33Denise Callan, Patricia Molloy and now Roseanne Fiello. Isbecki, am I keeping you awake?
0:03:33 > 0:03:41No. Those are the homicides I worked on last week. And? Denise Callan, Riverdale housewife,
0:03:41 > 0:03:47Patricia Molloy, Greenwich Village student. Now you got Roseanne Fiello. Brooklyn secretary.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57We were gonna get married three weeks from tomorrow.
0:03:57 > 0:04:04Do you know what she was doing in the city last night? She said she had some shopping to do.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Later on, I was gonna meet her, have some coffee.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Where were you last evening, Mr Romano? I was painting.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17I was painting what was gonna be our new apartment.
0:04:17 > 0:04:23We had a fight about the colour of the bedroom. When you say fight...
0:04:23 > 0:04:26No, no, no, I mean argue, you know?
0:04:26 > 0:04:31We always argued. It never meant nothing.
0:04:31 > 0:04:38The most serious argument we had was about the ring. What ring? The engagement ring.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I've been laid off for five months.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45But Roseanne...
0:04:45 > 0:04:48She went and bought it anyway.
0:04:49 > 0:04:55She said she was gonna do some more freelance typing to pay for it.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Can I go?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I should be with her father.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12I should help... bring her to the funeral home.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25Alone painting? He had paint under his fingernails, Chris.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Well, we'll check it out.
0:05:28 > 0:05:34Wait! One question at a time. While there are similarities in the three murders,
0:05:34 > 0:05:41many things are dissimilar. No connection between the victims? There's no evidence to suggest
0:05:41 > 0:05:48we should look for one strangler. When will this air? On the 6 and 11. Over here, guys.
0:05:49 > 0:05:56Excellent, just excellent. Authority, sincerity, concern. You project all those images.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01That's showbiz. Lieutenant, are unrelated murders like this common?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I'm not sure they are unrelated.
0:06:04 > 0:06:11So the city has a strangler on the loose? I think so. You disagree with Inspector Marquette?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I think we've a strangler out there.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17May I talk to you in the office?
0:06:25 > 0:06:30I can't believe he said that. Neither can Inspector Marquette.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I can just see the headlines in the papers.
0:06:33 > 0:06:39"Strangler on streets" or "Lieutenant demoted to directing traffic"? Quiet!
0:06:39 > 0:06:43We all put our foot in it sometimes.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48No. When an experienced cop does that, the pressure is getting to him.
0:06:49 > 0:06:57Until this case is resolved, you're all off the chart. You don't really think there's a strangler?
0:06:57 > 0:07:04I don't need any smart mouth from you! The DA's... Focus on this case! Cagney and Lacey, you're on days.
0:07:04 > 0:07:10Starting tomorrow? Now! Yes, sir. Petrie, Isbecki - Callan and Molloy.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15Cagney and Lacey - Roseanne Fiello. Inventory of her personal effects.
0:07:15 > 0:07:22What did the boyfriend say? He was painting. $120 cheque for Mary Ellen Stewart from Pierre's Restaurant.
0:07:22 > 0:07:28Roseanne's parents said Roseanne worked for Stewart part-time.
0:07:28 > 0:07:36The boyfriend said something about freelance typing. Check it out. Come on, let's get on it! Now!
0:07:42 > 0:07:47There's no address on this cheque. Ever heard of Pierre's Restaurant?
0:07:47 > 0:07:52I haven't been out to dinner in 18 months! What time is it? 8.33.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Do we have to do this today?
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Think of the overtime. I'll be with you in one minute.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05Hello? Hey, Harv. Where are you? Michael, that's enough butter.
0:08:05 > 0:08:11You're missing waffles. 'We're stuck here with a homicide. I'll be home for supper.'
0:08:11 > 0:08:19Mrs Barbero wanted to pick Harv Junior up early. 'They left ten minutes ago. When will you sleep?'
0:08:19 > 0:08:26Samuels breakin' chops there, huh? Very much so. I gotta go. There's chicken in the freezer.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31I love you. I'll take it out. Later. Ready!
0:08:31 > 0:08:39There isn't any Pierre's Restaurant. I know I've heard of it. Fancy French place on 53rd off Madison.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44Pierre's is a hole in the wall joint off Lexington and 28th.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49I read about it in New York Magazine. It's on Central Park South.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Great. Thanks, guys.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I'll call the bank.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Do you wanna find a phone...?
0:09:19 > 0:09:26Hey, you wanna watch where you're going! Sorry, but it helps to look where YOU'RE going!
0:09:26 > 0:09:32You know this building? I'm in and out all day long. A&K Messenger Service.
0:09:32 > 0:09:38You know Pierre's Restaurant? Take that elevator to the 12th floor.
0:09:38 > 0:09:45Hang a left, it's 12-14. Are you looking for a job? We just wanna find the place. Thank you.
0:09:50 > 0:09:5312th, please.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Well, this has got to be the wrong place. I knew the kid was a flake.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Excuse me.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Just wait right there, OK? Yeah.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13This is just an answering service. Yeah.
0:10:13 > 0:10:20I know you wanted to stay, but there'll be other jobs. I know you do good work.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Yeah. These things happen.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25How's your daughter's leg?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28You are a dirty boy!
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Yes, you are. Yeah.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Just relaxing in your bedroom?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Yeah.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37What are you wearing?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Are you comfortable?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Sounds nice.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Yeah.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53Come on. I know we'd be terrific together.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Sounds like we like the same things.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Satin sheets.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I like that, too.
0:11:04 > 0:11:11I can't believe you! What is going on? These girls are probably talking to their husbands and boyfriends.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Don't you talk to Harvey this way?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Yeah.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21LAUGHS LOUDLY
0:11:23 > 0:11:27You'd like to do what? I don't believe it.
0:11:27 > 0:11:35Chris, you don't wanna go over there. Why not? She is talking about things even I've never heard of.
0:11:35 > 0:11:42I may ask... Look, kids. Christine! I'm really jammed. Have you worked for an erotic hotline before?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Why call it Pierre's Restaurant?
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Credit cards. So? You're single, Isbecki.
0:12:00 > 0:12:07If you charged a call to the hotline and you were married and your wife opened your mail... She'd kill you.
0:12:07 > 0:12:15Yeah. What about Mary Ellen Stewart? They didn't know her, but we have some checking to do.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20They have branch offices - Affairs By Phone and Sheila's Loveline.
0:12:20 > 0:12:28We're looking into those now. You had a shot to make a collar. Vice tells us the whole thing is legal.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31I only care about these homicides.
0:12:31 > 0:12:37Denise Callan. From four to six on the day she was killed, she had a baby-sitter.
0:12:37 > 0:12:43She had the same baby-sitter four times that week. She gave her a number?
0:12:43 > 0:12:49Couldn't be reached by phone. Sounds like she has something on the side.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Everything sounds that way to you.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Well, find him or her or whoever.
0:12:55 > 0:13:02What about Patricia Molloy? Until last week, she was studying Business Administration at NYU.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07She lived with a room-mate on St Mark's Place. And her movements?
0:13:07 > 0:13:15From four to six, she didn't show up for her exercise class. I checked. She dropped out six months ago.
0:13:15 > 0:13:23Did her room-mate know that? No, she'd show up every day at 6.15 saying how terrific her work-out was.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Good. Now we're getting someplace.
0:13:26 > 0:13:32(Four to six, you and him...) A two-hour block of unaccounted for time. Next!
0:13:32 > 0:13:37Where's the boyfriend? Funeral home in Brooklyn. Ride out there.
0:13:37 > 0:13:43See what he knows about Mary Ellen Stewart. Get back here with some answers!
0:13:45 > 0:13:49I don't wanna bother those people. I'll handle it.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Have you two got a problem?
0:13:59 > 0:14:06We don't feel that going to the funeral home would be useful. We talked to the boyfriend.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12You don't wanna disturb him at the funeral home? Is that it?
0:14:12 > 0:14:17Partly. It's just not right to invade these people's lives.
0:14:17 > 0:14:23This is a murder investigation. We got a strangler on our hands!
0:14:23 > 0:14:29A strangler, OK... Oh, I see. You don't think there IS a strangler out there!
0:14:29 > 0:14:35We know you're under pressure. I'm doing my job and you two are not doing yours!
0:14:35 > 0:14:40A trail of a homicide investigation gets cold within 48 hours.
0:14:40 > 0:14:47If you haven't got what it takes... Wait a minute. We didn't say that. I'm saying it!
0:14:47 > 0:14:49OK.
0:14:49 > 0:14:56Fine. You go to work with Petrie and Isbecki. I'll question the boy for myself.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Good. Nice work.
0:15:01 > 0:15:09My feet are killing me. I don't wanna type up this stuff tonight. We hit one dead end after another.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14I wanna give Samuels something. I'll tell you what I'd like to give him!
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Come on.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33Working late, aren't you? You, too. Yeah.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40Don't you wanna know what happened at the funeral home?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48I made a jackass of myself.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55The boyfriend and the whole family sick with grief
0:15:55 > 0:15:58and I show up and I...
0:15:58 > 0:16:00bully them.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03It's a tough situation to walk into.
0:16:04 > 0:16:10After I was through, they stared at me like I was the scum of the earth.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16When I was a kid, I...
0:16:16 > 0:16:21I saw a friend of my father's get his face bloodied by a detective.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24It was over nothing.
0:16:24 > 0:16:30That cop was a fat slob who wasn't fit to be a human being, let alone a detective.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43That's me.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47That's me when I got my shield.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53I promised that, no matter what, I would never do anything like that.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02This thing with Inspector Marquette, it's bothering you, huh?
0:17:02 > 0:17:08When I was a Lieutenant, he was still a uniformed sergeant in Harlem.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Now he's a Deputy Inspector and I'm still a Lieutenant.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Yeah, that's part of it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:24Maybe you need a rest, some peace and quiet. A week or two at home would do you the world of good.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29What'll I do there? Things with Thelma aren't so good.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34Don't worry. I won't pull a number like that Captain from the 1-6.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Captain Casanova Reznikov?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42That's the one, yeah.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Came in one day and said, "I quit."
0:17:44 > 0:17:50Left his wife and kids and ran off to Arizona with a manicurist.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I hate the desert.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02And I don't know any manicurists.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Go on home.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15What about you? Go on, I'm fine.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Good night, sir. Good night. Good night.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27ALARM BUZZES
0:18:37 > 0:18:42Good morning.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47PHONE RINGS
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Hello?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Chris.
0:19:00 > 0:19:07Mary Beth? 'Yeah.' I got a call from Isbecki this morning. 'How wonderful for you(!)'
0:19:07 > 0:19:14He's got something about Roseanne and Samuels wants us in. What did he get? He'll tell us when we get in.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19'I could kill him.' I'm on my way. Bye-bye. 'Bye.'
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Oh, honey! They want me in early.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31They're gonna have to wait.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38'This is for you on the Patricia Molloy file.'
0:19:38 > 0:19:43Christine, I want you to follow this through. What have you got here?
0:19:43 > 0:19:51Lacey, where have you been? I asked for everybody to be here early. Sorry, sir. I hope it was worth it.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56Hold on. It's Marquette's PIO guy - Daniels. Yeah?
0:19:56 > 0:20:04When can you make a statement saying you changed your mind about the strangler? Tell him to go to hell!
0:20:04 > 0:20:09Four o'clock will be fine. He'll see you then... I had to say something.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13By four o'clock you could be out on an emergency.
0:20:13 > 0:20:19Denise's mother-in-law thought Denise was cheating on her son, hired a private detective.
0:20:19 > 0:20:25Petrie's looking for him. Isbecki's been doing good work. Really(?)
0:20:25 > 0:20:32Roseanne's engagement ring is worth over three grand. She bought it last month for cash.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36That's a hunk of change! We checked her bank statements.
0:20:36 > 0:20:44Roseanne Fiello's depositing Mary Ellen Stewart's cheques from Pierre's Restaurant in her account every week,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47once a week for nine months.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Total? That's 9,000 dollars.
0:20:50 > 0:20:56You know this woman? Yeah. Name? Mary Ellen Stewart. Are you sure?
0:20:56 > 0:21:03Positive. Her real name was Roseanne Fiello. We don't use our real names here.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08I'm losing patience! Roseanne was murdered. She was getting married.
0:21:08 > 0:21:16I didn't know it was her. I don't ask the girls their real names. What else don't you know about her?
0:21:16 > 0:21:22Got a file on her or something? Yeah. Get it. Ladies, gather round.
0:21:22 > 0:21:2514th Squad, Detective Petrie?
0:21:25 > 0:21:40We're at the hotline place. Mary Ellen Stewart and Roseanne Fiello are the same person.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45That's two of 'em? Three. Isbecki went to Patricia's exercise class.
0:21:45 > 0:21:53She told one of her friends she got a job that paid big bucks talking to pathetic guys on the telephone.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58Tell Samuels we'll be back there as soon as we can.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Hang on a minute.
0:22:04 > 0:22:11All three victims worked for these hotlines. Then Samuels hit it right. We are looking for a strangler. Yes.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19Inspector Marquette, what sort of person are you looking for?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22An individual with sexual problems.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27Did your opposing views early on create any friction?
0:22:27 > 0:22:35No. Lieutenant Samuels was right, but we're concerned about apprehending the strangler, not who's right.
0:22:35 > 0:22:41Do you have any suspects? No, we don't. But we will have soon.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46You're right about one thing. The Lieutenant did call the shot.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51Instinct. Samuels got it. All the great detectives have it.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53I got it.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58Thank you. You're welcome. Come with me.
0:23:05 > 0:23:12What's the matter? In the middle of all this, I'm thinking about Roseanne Fiello.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15She had a choice, Mary Beth.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18She paid a very high price.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Detectives Cagney and Lacey, right?
0:23:23 > 0:23:30I know you're involved in this investigation. I'd like to ask you a favour. If something should break,
0:23:30 > 0:23:35I'd appreciate it if you'd call me first. Mr...? Daniels. Peter.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40Mr Daniels, that man in there is our Lieutenant.
0:23:40 > 0:23:46If something happens, he's next in the chain of command. It might be broken soon. Pardon?
0:23:46 > 0:23:52Lieutenant Samuels is very close to becoming a memory in this department.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57If Inspector Marquette sees a chance, he'll bounce him out.
0:23:57 > 0:24:03You two are in a position to do yourselves some good. Thank you.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Think about it.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Cute, isn't he?
0:24:14 > 0:24:18All right, the circus is over. We get back to work.
0:24:18 > 0:24:24Vice detectives say these hotlines are connected, controlled by Allen Brown.
0:24:24 > 0:24:32Lacey, we want this man's client list. Right, sir. One of his customers may be our strangler.
0:24:32 > 0:24:38Cagney, see if the women who work for the hotlines can recall any especially weird customers.
0:24:38 > 0:24:46Will do. All arranged. Petrie and Isbecki, you've got an appointment with the psychologist.
0:24:46 > 0:24:52Get more on the profile, so we can find out what kind of a wacko we're looking for.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Right. Anybody got anything to add? No.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59All right, let's get on it.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10What are we gonna do here, Chris?
0:25:10 > 0:25:17About what? About Samuels. I think we've got to tell him. Look at him, Mary Beth.
0:25:17 > 0:25:25Another crisis is not what he needs. His marriage is in trouble. He knows he's not Marquette's favourite!
0:25:33 > 0:25:39Detective Lacey, I can make you some cappuccino. No, thanks. I do nothing illegal.
0:25:39 > 0:25:46I pay my taxes, my parking tickets, but a lot of lonely guys need somebody to talk to.
0:25:48 > 0:25:56I want a list of your clients in New York. Magazines want it, lonely hearts organisations, swingers clubs.
0:25:56 > 0:26:03A Save The Seals organisation wants our mailing list, but my clients' names are confidential.
0:26:03 > 0:26:10If we were to look into your hotline services, we might find that these phone calls lead to prostitution,
0:26:10 > 0:26:15which is illegal. Detective Lacey, use your head.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20For a phone conversation of four minutes, customers pay 38.50.
0:26:20 > 0:26:27When they get their credit card bills, it says "Pierre's Restaurant", "Northeast Marketing",
0:26:27 > 0:26:29"Galaxy Communication Incorporated".
0:26:29 > 0:26:36This operation is active in 26 states. Last year, we averaged two million dollars.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41I gotta get involved in prostitution? What for?
0:26:41 > 0:26:46Why are three women dead? I have no knowledge of what happened to them.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50I'm dealing with a murder investigation here!
0:26:50 > 0:26:55It'll take time, but I can get the court to sub-poena your client list.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Maybe. And maybe not.
0:27:00 > 0:27:07If you make me go to court, you will be harassed so you regret the day you were born!
0:27:07 > 0:27:14Let me ask you this. Your customers, the men that you talk to - are there any weird ones?
0:27:14 > 0:27:20How do you define "weird"? Some might think this is normal. You've no right to judge.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25I'm not. It's part of my job. I just need to know.
0:27:25 > 0:27:31We have steady customers we talk to five times a week. We're like friends to these guys.
0:27:31 > 0:27:37We talk about a lot of things besides sex. What? Family problems, whatever.
0:27:37 > 0:27:44It's cheaper and maybe better than going to an analyst. Oh, boy! Thanks.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Hey, baby. Did you get that job?
0:27:52 > 0:27:59I am not your baby and I didn't get the job. You don't want people to know. That's cool.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Understand this.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04I'm the heat!
0:28:07 > 0:28:09It's my best. I swear. Taste it.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Wait a minute, wait a minute.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Oh, my... Oh, that's good!
0:28:15 > 0:28:18It is good. Oh, yeah. Hmm? Perfect.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23It's perfect. That should be against the law. Salud!
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Sweetheart... Huh?
0:28:32 > 0:28:39We got two things of this in the freezer already. Michael's birthday party. Vintage stuff.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44We should label this like wine bottles. Why all this?
0:28:44 > 0:28:51It was your idea. It was? You cut out the coupons. The butcher had a sale on pork shoulders.
0:28:51 > 0:28:56Me and the kids went over there, made a big score. Oh, yeah.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58I forgot all about it.
0:28:58 > 0:29:05Samuels still putting you and Chris through the hoops with this strangler business? Yeah.
0:29:05 > 0:29:13It's a bad time for him. It's not just work. I think things between him and Thelma don't sound so good.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17Every marriage has its ups and downs, huh?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22I don't know. It bothers me.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25What bothers you, babe?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28What?
0:29:28 > 0:29:31He looks so tired.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34And old.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40It's bad enough, you turn around, the kids are growing up.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Come on, Mary Beth, huh?
0:29:43 > 0:29:47Nothing like that's gonna happen to us.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50There's too much at stake.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54We're sitting on a fortune in spaghetti sauce here.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58You got sauce on your chin.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06About time you got here! You don't take the subway.
0:30:06 > 0:30:13Brown's list did it. The computer guys have been working on it. Since when did they work so fast?
0:30:13 > 0:30:20They matched the customers who had contact with the victims. The computer had a busy night!
0:30:20 > 0:30:25It came up with the one guy who talked to all three victims a lot.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Mary Beth, I think we got him. Yeah!
0:30:28 > 0:30:35Here's more on that psychological profile. "Passive, unresolved anger towards mother."
0:30:35 > 0:30:40It's always the mother! "No tolerance for anxiety or rejection."
0:30:40 > 0:30:47Listen, I was thinking. Why don't I call on the guy? The shrink gave ME the psychological profile.
0:30:48 > 0:30:56So? I know what to expect, I know how to handle him. Are we mentally incompetent? We can read!
0:30:56 > 0:31:01Are you sure this is the right place? Maybe we got the wrong Wyler.
0:31:01 > 0:31:07Mr Colton Wyler? Who shall I say is here to see him? Detectives Cagney and Lacey, NYPD.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12Why don't you just take us down to his office? Of course.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20Would you ask him to step outside, please?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Yes?
0:31:23 > 0:31:27Mr Wyler, could you come out for a moment, please?
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Yeah, Marcie?
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Mr Colton Wyler? Yes.
0:31:32 > 0:31:38Do you live at 466, West End Avenue? Yes, that's right. Marcie...
0:31:38 > 0:31:45I'm Detective Lacey. This is Detective Cagney. Can we speak to you in private? Sure.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Come on in. Thank you.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Mr Wyler, do you know these women?
0:32:00 > 0:32:03No. I've never seen them before.
0:32:03 > 0:32:11According to The Hotline, Sheila's Loveline and Affairs By Phone, you talk to them all the time.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16That's not true. Mr Wyler, we have your credit card receipts.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20That was private. You have no right to be here.
0:32:20 > 0:32:25We have every right. These three women were murdered. Oh, no.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30And you think I killed them?
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Did you, Mr Wyler?
0:32:33 > 0:32:36'Between the ages of 16 and 21,'
0:32:36 > 0:32:45did you take anything of value that didn't belong to you? No. Are we both in New York City? Yes.
0:32:45 > 0:32:51I gotta hand it to Samuels. With all his problems, he's really cooking. Look at him!
0:32:51 > 0:32:57Are you afraid I will make a mistake on this test? Yes. Did you murder Patricia Molloy...?
0:32:57 > 0:33:02I've been thinking about that creep Daniels. We gotta tell Samuels.
0:33:02 > 0:33:07What do you think about Wyler? We'll turn him into a basket case.
0:33:07 > 0:33:12No. Did you ever meet the victims of this homicide investigation? No.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16No good, Mr Wyler.
0:33:16 > 0:33:23I want you to see for yourself. Let's start with where I asked you if you ever met any of the victims.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26See how the needle jumped?
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Why? I wasn't lying.
0:33:29 > 0:33:36I never met any of them. Someone once offered to arrange a meeting, but that wasn't my thing.
0:33:36 > 0:33:42Who? I don't know his name. He's an office messenger.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44I refused.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47PHONE RINGS
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Samuels... Yeah.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Right.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05Lieutenant, can we talk to you, sir? Not now.
0:34:05 > 0:34:12They just found another Hotline employee strangled, killed within the past couple of hours. Oh, Lord!
0:34:12 > 0:34:18Then it couldn't have been Wyler. No. Get over to the Hotline offices.
0:34:18 > 0:34:25The latest victim was Deborah Alfano. See what you can find out about her and this messenger.
0:34:26 > 0:34:32This is wrong, Christine. I can't stand it. We gotta warn him.
0:34:32 > 0:34:40He doesn't wanna listen. We make him listen. Go talk to him. He likes you better than me. He does not.
0:34:40 > 0:34:47Where do you get that idea? He tells you he likes your instincts. He tells me he likes my scarf. Scarf?
0:34:47 > 0:34:52You know, all the little blue and green owls on it?
0:34:52 > 0:34:58I haven't worn it in a while. Chris! Go tell him! I'll keep the motor running.
0:35:01 > 0:35:09What are you doing back here? I've got to talk to you, sir. This is not the time. Sorry, it can't wait.
0:35:09 > 0:35:16The Inspector's Public Information Aide, Mr Daniels, asked Cagney and myself to let him know immediately
0:35:16 > 0:35:21if anything happened with the case, which we refused.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26He said the Inspector wanted to get rid of you. Doesn't surprise me.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31He would have pulled me already, except it might make him look bad.
0:35:31 > 0:35:39You haven't been around here long enough to see this kind of thing. I have. It's about humiliation.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43It won't stop here. You can't let that happen, sir.
0:35:43 > 0:35:50I've been thinking of pulling the plug myself. I've got my 20 years. Why do I need this?
0:35:50 > 0:35:56If I can help, sir, I'd like to. Then find the strangler!
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Yes, sir. Lacey...
0:35:59 > 0:36:06Sir? You played this all wrong. It would have been easy for you to play ball with him
0:36:06 > 0:36:11and find yourself a nice, cushy situation someplace. Yeah.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Like you said, I haven't been around here long enough.
0:36:26 > 0:36:34What's going on? They're examining Deborah's things. We questioned one of your clients.
0:36:34 > 0:36:41He got an invitation to meet one of the victims. I never knew about it. It came from a messenger.
0:36:41 > 0:36:48We don't have a messenger, do we? No, we use A&K Service, but it's always the same guy - Manny.
0:36:48 > 0:36:53The guy in the building. What, with roller skates?
0:36:53 > 0:36:57Yeah. Would he have access to names and addresses?
0:36:57 > 0:37:02He collects credit card receipts and delivers cheques to the girls.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06He does have access. Where is A&K Messenger Service?
0:37:06 > 0:37:13This schedule shows him in at four o'clock. Does he ever come in earlier? Take care of this.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18You gotta be kidding me. If he shows up at four, it's a miracle.
0:37:18 > 0:37:24Thanks. Well? The address Manfred Williams gave you at 123rd Street doesn't exist.
0:37:24 > 0:37:32The phone number's out of service. What do you expect from a guy who comes to work on roller skates?
0:37:32 > 0:37:36Has he any personal effects here? Back here. Oh, right.
0:37:39 > 0:37:45Does that belong to him? Mandarin orange. He's the only one that drinks that junk.
0:37:45 > 0:37:52You don't mind if I take it? We're gonna send someone over here to wait for him.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54I don't know nothin'.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Chris! Thanks very much. Take care.
0:38:03 > 0:38:09Stan? Hey, Bert, how are you doin'? What brings you to the big building?
0:38:09 > 0:38:17Can you help me out? I need this done right away. It's a bad time. I got six priorities from K Squad.
0:38:19 > 0:38:26Can you get Marquette's office to phone in a requisition? Can't do that. That way, I'm covered.
0:38:26 > 0:38:33My back's to the wall, Stan. Marquette out to whack you on this? Something like that.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Well, let me see what I can do.
0:38:37 > 0:38:44Go back to your office and I'll give you a call as soon as I get something. Thanks.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Taubman on three. Thanks.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Yeah?
0:38:51 > 0:38:54What time was that?
0:38:54 > 0:39:01Stay there in case he shows. Manny called. He's going straight to his runs at the Hotline.
0:39:03 > 0:39:09'Yeah, Samuels.' You were lucky. We lifted a full five prints.
0:39:09 > 0:39:14Did you get an ID? Marvin Woodhouse. Attica graduate, manslaughter.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18Warrant for felony assault in Albany.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20I heard enough. Thanks, Stan.
0:39:20 > 0:39:27I'm on it. Grab him at the messenger service. He's going straight to the Hotline.
0:39:27 > 0:39:34PHONE RINGS Hello? Is Grace Lipton there? This is Detective Lacey. Just a minute.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39It's Detective Lacey on 3-5. Oh, swell(!)
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Hello, Detective Lacey.
0:39:42 > 0:39:48What am I doing? This woman is not gonna give me the right time of day. Do it for me.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52Please. If you weren't so emotional!
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Miss Lipton, this is Detective Cagney.
0:39:56 > 0:40:02'Has the messenger been it yet?' Did Manny make his pick-up yet? He just left.
0:40:02 > 0:40:08He just left. Where to? He's delivering cheques to the girls.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Names and addresses...? What would you do without me?
0:40:12 > 0:40:19Have Central put out an alarm for Marvin Woodhouse. We're calling the messenger's delivery list now.
0:40:19 > 0:40:25Rita Carlyle...? This is Detective Cagney, New York Police Department.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29A messenger is on his way to your apartment. Do not let him in.
0:40:29 > 0:40:34Do not let him in. We will have a uniform there as soon as possible.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43INTERCOM BUZZES
0:40:46 > 0:40:51Who is it? It's me, Manny. Come on in.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Oh, damn!
0:41:02 > 0:41:04It's your own fault, you know.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08Every call you make, they charge 38.50. You make what, ten?
0:41:08 > 0:41:15Nine. You're a bigger fool than I thought. Why don't you work for me?
0:41:15 > 0:41:20I'll get you all the calls you want and then some. I'll split it 50/50.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24I'll take good care of you. Not like those other chumps.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28PHONE RINGS
0:41:28 > 0:41:32Hello...? Hi, Michael. Are we on for dinner tonight?
0:41:32 > 0:41:37Yes, spaghetti. Right. Well, I can't wait.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42Me, too. Could you hold on one second, please?
0:41:42 > 0:41:45What about my offer?
0:41:45 > 0:41:50I don't think so, Manny. You can let yourself out, can't you?
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Michael...? Yeah.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04Are you finished? Except for Paula Martin. She's busy.
0:42:06 > 0:42:13Operator, this is a police emergency. I am Detective Lacey, shield number 340.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17I want you to cut in on 555 8135.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Is that it?
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Don't tease me, come on.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Do you want to or not? Aaagh!
0:42:30 > 0:42:32You and me, let's talk business.
0:42:34 > 0:42:39Thank you, Operator. It's a problem on the line or it's out of order.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43Get over there. I'll alert Uniform and have some cars meet you.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46SIRENS WAIL
0:42:57 > 0:43:02SHE SCREAMS
0:43:02 > 0:43:04No!
0:43:05 > 0:43:09Police, open up! Don't come in here. I'll kill her!
0:43:09 > 0:43:14Take it easy. We're just here to serve a warrant. No big deal.
0:43:14 > 0:43:20Open up! Stay back. I'm gonna kill her! All right. We'll go round.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Open up! Is Paula in there with you?
0:43:22 > 0:43:26Stay out of here or I'll cut her!
0:43:28 > 0:43:31Oh, come on! Can you get that down?
0:43:35 > 0:43:36Come on.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47If you come in here, I'll kill her!
0:43:47 > 0:43:49Stay back, stay back!
0:43:49 > 0:43:54Don't you come in here! I'm telling you, I'll kill her!
0:43:54 > 0:43:57I'll kill her!
0:43:57 > 0:44:00Get away! Stay back!
0:44:02 > 0:44:06Hold it! Don't give me an excuse, man!
0:44:08 > 0:44:10Drop it down! Drop it down!
0:44:13 > 0:44:15Drop it down!
0:44:24 > 0:44:31They're waiting for you, sir. Let 'em wait. The Inspector seemed cordial enough.
0:44:31 > 0:44:37If he could bury me, he would. It'll keep him off my back for a while.
0:44:37 > 0:44:43This was an important collar. I hoped it would make up for some wasted years,
0:44:43 > 0:44:47but it didn't. You're a good cop, Lieutenant.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50Yeah.
0:44:50 > 0:44:57Why don't you tell that to my wife? She wants me to be with her in group therapy.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00Cute, isn't he?
