Hunter and McCall pose as husband and wife to investigate the murder of a young girl whose death exposes a Soviet plot to relocate secret agents in the United States.
GOOD AFTERNOON, SERGEANTS!
JUST A LITTLE MISUNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN ME AND L.A.'s FINEST.
I'LL HAVE IT CLEARED
UP IN A SECOND!
Man: DIED SOMETIME LAST
NIGHT. GUNSHOT TO THE HEART.
SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH
A POLICE OFFICER...
A FELLOW POLICE OFFICER
BY THE NAME OF RILEY COSLIN.
IT'S OUR BRIDAL SUITE.
Hunter: COME ON,
LOVE MUFFIN. HOP ON.
WANT ME TO TUCK YOU IN?
GOOD MORNING TO YOU, TOO.
WHAT MAKES YOU AND THESE IDIOTS
THINK YOU CAN PUT THAT ON ME?
THIS BETTER BE GOOD.
YEAH, YEAH. GEEZ.
COSLIN.
HUNTER, I'M IN TROUBLE.
YEAH, YOU SURE ARE.
IT'S 2:00 IN THE MORNING.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
LOOK, MAN, YOU GOTTA HELP ME.
WATCH OUT WITH THE
CURTAINS, WILL YOU?
YOU GOT TO LET ME
STAY HERE TONIGHT, OK?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WILL YOU RELAX?
DON'T TURN THE LIGHT...
COSLIN!
SIT DOWN.
GET IN THERE!
SIT DOWN RIGHT THERE.
IT'S TOO EARLY TO BE
CRAZY LIKE THIS, COSLIN.
NOW, LOOK, IT'S
2:00 IN THE MORNING.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
I CAN'T TELL YOU YET.
OH, COME ON. DON'T TELL ME THAT.
LOOK, I'LL TELL YOU
FIRST THING TOMORROW.
I PROMISE.
OK.
OVER THERE ON THE
WINDOW SEAT IS A BLANKET.
YOU'LL FIND THE PILLOWS
THERE ON THE COUCH.
GOOD NIGHT. I'M GOING
TO COME DOWN HERE
FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING,
AND THIS BETTER BE GOOD.
HEY, RICK.
THANKS.
WHAT?
I DON'T HAVE TIME TO EXPLAIN.
JUST TAKE IT.
I LOVE YOU.
HEY!
GET HIM.
OK, COSLIN. RISE AND SHINE.
RILEY!
GOOD MORNING TO YOU, TOO.
CHARLIE...
WHAT CASE WAS COSLIN WORKING ON?
HE WASN'T WORKING ON
ANYTHING. HE'S ON VACATION.
DUE BACK TODAY.
BEFORE HE WAS ON VACATION,
WHAT CASE WAS HE WORKING ON?
NOTHING VERY IMPORTANT.
THAT'S WHY HE TOOK THE TIME OFF.
WHY THE SUDDEN
INTEREST IN COSLIN?
UH, THAT'S OK, CHARLIE. THANKS.
McCall: HAVE A NICE WEEKEND?
YEAH.
COULD HAVE FOOLED ME.
I HAD A STRANGE THING HAPPEN
TO ME LAST NIGHT, McCALL.
McCall: WHAT?
JUST A SECOND.
WHAT?
HI, RILEY.
HEY, HUNTER. HOW YOU DOING?
CUT THE CRAP, RILEY.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I'M TALKING ABOUT LAST NIGHT.
LOOK, I JUST GOT BACK
FROM VACATION, AND...
LOOK, DON'T JACK ME AROUND HERE.
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!
HEY, COSLIN!
DEPUTY CHIEF WYLER WANTS
TO SEE YOU ON THE DOUBLE.
WHAT WAS THAT ALL
ABOUT? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
FINE.
DON'T WE HAVE SOME
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
ON THE DEFATTA CASE?
YEAH.
WE HAVE TO DO THE
FINAL PAPERWORK,
GET IT FROM THE M.E.,
AND A DEPOSITION ON
DEFATTA'S BROTHER.
GOOD. YOU TAKE THE M.E.
I'LL TAKE HIS BROTHER.
YOU SURE YOU'RE OK?
HI, RILEY. LET'S CHAT.
WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU DOING, MAN?
SHUT UP. SIT DOWN.
WHY THE SUDDEN LOSS OF
MEMORY THIS MORNING, HUH?
I CAN'T TELL YOU.
I-I-I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT.
YES, YOU CAN.
LET'S HAVE IT, RILEY.
I'M NOT LEAVING UNTIL YOU...
LOOK, I WISH I COULD
TELL YOU, BUT I CAN'T.
YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT.
I DON'T ACCEPT THAT!
YOU THINK I'M NUTS?
YOU SHOW UP AT MY HOUSE
LAST NIGHT LIKE A WILD MAN.
YOU BEG ME TO LET
YOU SLEEP ON MY COUCH.
IN THE MORNING, YOU DISAPPEAR.
YOU SHOW UP AT THE
PRECINCT THIS MORNING,
AND YOU ACT AS IF
NOTHING EVER HAPPENED.
NOW, WHAT'S THE
BIG SECRET, RILEY?
MAYBE I CAN HELP YOU.
YOU CAN'T HELP ME,
MAN. NOBODY CAN.
SIT DOWN.
I'M NOT LEAVING TILL
I GET SOME ANSWERS.
LOOK, I GOTTA DO THIS ON MY OWN.
YOU GOTTA GIVE ME SOME TIME.
I'LL TELL YOU THE WHOLE STORY
IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
ALL RIGHT?
BUT FOR NOW, IT'S JUST
BETWEEN YOU AND ME.
COME ON, RICK. PLEASE?
LOOK, RILEY, YOU BETTER
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
McCall: GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT.
Hunter: OH, I'M SORRY.
I HAD TO TAKE CARE OF
SOME PERSONAL BUSINESS.
BARNEY, WHAT HAVE WE GOT?
Barney: WELL, WE'VE
GOT A FEMALE,
CAUCASIAN, MID-TWENTIES.
UH, CAUSE OF DEATH?
I DON'T KNOW YET.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
Hunter: EXCUSE ME.
I'LL NEED COPIES OF THESE PRINTS
AS SOON AS YOU
CAN GET THEM TO ME.
ANY I.D.?
Barney: NOTHING.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
KILLED HER, BARNEY?
NOT A CLUE.
AUTOPSY WILL TELL US, I HOPE.
McCall: ANY INDICATION OF DRUGS?
DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING.
WHY DON'T YOU GUYS COME
BY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING?
YEAH.
THANKS, BARN.
McCall: CARLOS.
CARLOS, WAKE UP!
COME ON, CARLOS. WAKE UP.
McCALL, MY LITTLE FOX.
I WAS JUST HAVING
THE MOST WONDERFUL
DREAM ABOUT YOU.
LISTEN TO THIS.
I WAS DEAD, LYING
ON THIS GURNEY.
YOU GUYS WERE STANDING OVER ME,
TALKING ABOUT ME.
HUNTER, YOU SAID
THE NICEST THINGS.
YOU WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THEY BURIED ME WITH MY TUBA.
NO, NOT WITH IT. IN IT.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
IT WAS BEYOND HIM.
WHERE'S BARNEY?
HE WENT HOME TO GET SOME SLEEP.
HE WAS HERE HALF THE NIGHT.
LISTEN, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A D.B.
THAT WAS BROUGHT IN
HERE LATE LAST NIGHT.
BLONDE.
NAME'S LaVONNE SCHOFIELD.
YOU GOT A NAME ON HER?
YEAH. WE RAN HER
PRINTS LAST NIGHT.
NOW WHERE'S YOUR REPORT?
IT'S RIGHT HERE, LITTLE FOX.
IT'LL BE TRANSCRIBED
AS SOON AS MABEL GETS IN.
YOU SHOULD HAVE IT BY 10 A.M.
BUT I GOT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
I WAS LOOKING OVER
BARNEY'S SHOULDER
ALL NIGHT LONG.
COME ON. YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THIS.
YEAH.
Hunter: SO, WHAT'S SO
INTERESTING HERE, CARLOS?
WELL, AT FIRST GLANCE,
SHE'S YOUR AVERAGE,
ALL-AMERICAN GIRL.
WELL-NOURISHED, GOOD TEETH.
SO BARNEY TAKES A
LITTLE BLOOD SAMPLE,
AND GUESS WHAT HE FOUND?
ROOT BEER.
5 ETHYL, 5-1 METHYL BUTYL,
2 THIO,
10 BARBITURATE.
CARLOS, WHAT IS THAT?
SODIUM PENTOTHAL.
AND NOT JUST TRACES. MEGADOSES.
LIKE OVER 100 C.C.s.
WE'RE TALKING MORE THAN ENOUGH
TO MAKE HER TONGUE
A LITTLE LOOSE.
YEAH, BUT I DON'T THINK
SHE DID MUCH TALKING.
LET ME SHOW YOU THIS.
BARNEY NOTICED THESE TWO BANDS
OF SLIGHTLY DISCOLORED SKIN
ACROSS HER INDEX
AND MIDDLE FINGERS,
WHICH, IN AND OF ITSELF,
DID NOT SEEM SIGNIFICANT.
UNTIL...
CONDUCTIVE JELLY.
LIKE TO CONDUCT ELECTRICITY.
NOT THE KIND OF STUFF
WE FIND ON EVERY CORPSE
THEY WHEEL IN HERE.
BARNEY ESTIMATED TIME OF DEATH
BETWEEN 1 AND 2 A.M.,
NIGHT BEFORE LAST.
AS TO THE CAUSE OF DEATH:
TRAUMATIC, MASSIVE
CORONARY ARREST.
WHEN THEY TURNED ON THE JUICE,
WELL, YOU SEE,
SHE HAD THIS LITTLE
VALVE DEFORMITY.
PROBABLY DIDN'T
EVEN KNOW SHE HAD IT.
SO BARNEY DOESN'T THINK
THEY MEANT TO KILL HER.
THAT'S RIGHT.
OK, I'LL CHECK OUT
HER APARTMENT.
YOU GO BACK TO THE PRECINCT.
NO, NO.
I'M NOT GONNA GO
BACK TO THE STATION
AND DO PAPERWORK
ALL MORNING. NO WAY.
WE'LL FLIP FOR IT. I
DON'T WANT TO FLIP FOR IT.
WHY NOT? BECAUSE I ALWAYS LOSE!
SO WHAT? IT'S GOOD FOR
YOU TO LOSE SOMETIMES.
BESIDES, I FEEL AS THOUGH
YOUR LUCK COULD CHANGE.
COME ON. I'M GONNA CHOOSE.
I CAN... WAIT, LET ME SEE.
CALL IT.
HEADS.
I HATE THAT.
NOBODY IS SAFE IN
THIS COUNTRY ANYMORE.
HOW HAS LONG HAS LaVONNE
LIVED HERE, MISS POST?
SHE MOVED HERE FROM
TEXAS 2 YEARS AGO.
IF YOU WANT MY OPINION,
SHE SHOULD HAVE STAYED THERE.
MAYBE SHE'D BE ALIVE TODAY.
I MEAN, SHE WAS A
SWEET, YOUNG THING.
SHE COULDN'T HURT A FLY.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.
DID LaVONNE HAVE ANY FRIENDS?
COURSE SHE HAD FRIENDS.
SHE HAD A LOT OF FRIENDS.
OH, MY GOD.
OH, GOD.
SYBIL.
SYBIL?
IT'S HER BEST FRIEND.
SHE LIVES HERE ACROSS THE HALL.
NOW, I DON'T KNOW...
I REALLY DON'T KNOW
HOW I'M SUPPOSED
TO TELL HER THIS.
DO YOU THINK SYBIL
WOULD BE HOME RIGHT NOW?
NO, SHE WOULDN'T BE HOME.
SHE'D BE WORKING
'CAUSE THE TWO OF
THEM WORKED TOGETHER.
PACIFIC INDUSTRIES
DOWN ON FOURTH STREET.
OK.
THANKS, MISS POST,
FOR YOUR TIME.
I'M VERY SORRY ABOUT LaVONNE.
BYE.
Woman: I CAN'T
BELIEVE SHE'S DEAD.
I MEAN, WHO WOULD
WANT TO DO SUCH A THING?
EVERYONE LOVED HER.
YOU WERE PRETTY CLOSE, HUH?
OH, WE WERE LIKE SISTERS.
WE WERE!
BOTH FROM TEXAS,
SO WE HAD A LOT IN COMMON.
WHEN DID YOU FIRST MEET?
COUPLE YEARS AGO, I GUESS.
RIGHT AFTER SHE MOVED TO L.A.
DO YOU THINK IT'S POSSIBLE
FOR ME TO LOOK THROUGH HER DESK,
HER PERSONAL
BELONGINGS HERE AT WORK?
PERHAPS IT MIGHT HELP ME.
YEAH. YEAH, SURE.
I'LL SHOW YOU WHERE IT IS.
SO, IS THERE ANYTHING
ELSE? ANYTHING UNUSUAL?
OH, GOSH. UH...
WELL, A MAN CALLED
A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS
MEANS ANYTHING.
BUT, UM, WELL,
HE THOUGHT I WAS LaVONNE
'CAUSE OF MY ACCENT.
HE STARTED TALKING TO ME
UNTIL I TOLD HIM I WASN'T HER,
YOU KNOW, SHE WASN'T IN.
DO YOU RECALL HIS NAME?
YEAH, I WROTE IT DOWN.
IT WAS DR. SHAPIRO.
I REMEMBER 'CAUSE SHE
AND I HAD THE SAME DOCTOR.
AND IT WASN'T HIM.
Man: SERGEANT, I
WANT TO HELP YOU
FIND THIS PERSON WHO KILLED HER.
I CARED FOR HER VERY DEEPLY.
IT'S BECAUSE OF MY
FEELINGS FOR HER
THAT I ASK YOU TO USE DISCRETION
WITH ANY INFORMATION I GIVE YOU.
I UNDERSTAND THAT.
LaVONNE WAS A VERY SWEET
AND INNOCENT GIRL.
UNFORTUNATELY,
THESE ENDEARING
QUALITIES OF HERS
CAUSED HER A CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF PAIN.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
SHE WAS BORN IN A
LITTLE TOWN IN TEXAS.
PRUITVILLE.
Doctor: YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
PRUITVILLE.
HER PARENTS DIED WHEN
SHE WAS VERY YOUNG,
AND SO SHE WAS RAISED
BY HER GRANDPARENTS
WHOM SHE LOVED VERY MUCH,
BUT THOSE ADVANCED YEARS
STUNTED THE DEVELOPMENT
OF CERTAIN SOCIAL SKILLS
USUALLY ACQUIRED DURING PUBERTY.
THE POINT IS, SERGEANT,
THAT SHE HAD DIFFICULTY
RELATING TO MEN,
WHICH IS WHY SHE CAME TO ME.
LaVONNE, AT THE AGE OF 26,
WAS STILL A VIRGIN.
YES, I'LL HOLD.
DAMN IT.
HAVING FUN?
LOADS.
YOU KNOW, THIS...
Man: THAT'S OK,
OFFICERS, REALLY!
I HAVE BEEN WALKING
SINCE I WAS 2!
WELL, I DON'T REALLY
REMEMBER THAT FAR,
BUT MY MAMA SAYS I WAS A
PRETTY PRECOCIOUS CHILD.
GOOD AFTERNOON, SERGEANTS!
JUST A LITTLE MISUNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN ME AND L. A.'s FINEST.
I'LL HAVE IT CLEARED
UP IN A SECOND.
DON'T EVEN BOTHER
TO GET UP. OUCH!
HELLO. YEAH.
THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE?
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?
NOT MUCH AT ALL.
THEY FOUND HER CAR IN WESTWOOD.
SHE'S GOT A CLEAN RECORD,
AND THERE WERE 2 SETS
OF PRINTS IN THE CAR...
HER AND SOMEBODY
NAMED SYBIL TAYLOR.
YEAH, I JUST TALKED TO HER.
WHAT IS THIS?
IT'S A BIRTH CERTIFICATE,
TAX RETURN,
AND PERSONAL I.D.
YOU'VE GOT A BLOOD
DONOR CARD, TOO.
WHERE'D YOU GET THIS STUFF?
FROM HER DESK AT
PACIFIC INDUSTRIES.
WHAT DO THEY DO THERE?
THEY MAKE PRECISION FASTENERS.
WHAT?
NUTS, BOLTS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
SOUNDS EXCITING.
SAYS HERE SHE WAS
BORN IN PRUITVILLE, TEXAS.
MAY 2, 1960.
THE PEOPLE I TALKED TO
SAY SHE'S YOUR TYPICAL,
ORDINARY GIRL NEXT DOOR.
WELL, WHO WOULD WANT
TO TORTURE AND MURDER
THE TYPICAL, ORDINARY
GIRL NEXT DOOR?
PRUITVILLE?
WHERE THE HELL IS PRUITVILLE?
TEXAS. 140 MILES
SOUTH OF LONGVIEW.
ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU CAN'T
GET ANY INFORMATION ON THIS GIRL
WITHOUT GOING TO
PRUITVILLE, TEXAS?
CHARLIE, THIS IS A REAL
STRANGE CASE WE HAVE HERE.
THIS GIRL WAS THE ULTIMATE,
ALL-AMERICAN GIRL
NEXT DOOR PROFILE,
AND SHE WINDS UP BEING
TORTURED TO DEATH.
NOW, WE HAVE TRIED
EVERYTHING IN L.A.
WE'VE COME UP EMPTY.
WHY DON'T YOU TRY CALLING
THE LAW IN PRUITVILLE?
OH, CHARLIE, WE DON'T WANT
TO CHECK OUT OUR ONLY LEAD
ON A LONG DISTANCE PHONE
CALL TO SOMEBODY WE DON'T KNOW.
HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST?
IT'S NOT GOING TO COST
HARDLY ANYTHING AT ALL.
LONGVIEW ROUND TRIP AIRFARE
IS NOTHING, A
COUPLE MOTEL ROOMS,
A RENTAL CAR...
500 BUCKS AT MOST.
I'M GOING TO HOLD
YOU TO THAT, McCALL.
HAVE A NICE TRIP.
YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT GUY
AT THE RENTAL CAR
AGENCY IS RIGHT.
I MEAN, HE GREW UP
30 MILES OUT OF PRUITVILLE.
IF WE GO IN THERE AND
START FLASHING OUR BADGES,
WE'RE NOT GOING TO
GET ANY INFORMATION
FROM THOSE GUYS.
WHEN IN ROME...
YEAH.
I THINK WE OUGHT TO JUST
PRETEND WE'RE MARRIED.
BE A LOT EASIER.
OK, LOVE MUFFIN.
HEH. LOVE MUFFIN?
YOU CALL ALL YOUR
WIVES LOVE MUFFIN?
PICK YOU UP A RING
WHEN WE GET INTO TOWN.
OH, WELL.
THANK YOU FOR
THAT CONSIDERATION,
BUT IT REALLY ISN'T NECESSARY.
LOVE MUFFIN!
WELL, YOU'RE IN LUCK,
MR. AND MRS. HUNTER.
THIS IS OUR LAST ROOM,
AND IT'S OUR BEST ONE.
WELL, THAT'LL BE FINE.
WHAT?
I SAID THAT WILL BE FINE. FINE!
NOW, WHAT ARE YOU UP HERE FOR?
COUNTY AGRICULTURAL MEETING?
NO. UH, WE'RE UP HERE
LOOKIN' FOR MY COUSIN.
HER NAME'S SCHOFIELD.
SCHOFIELD. I HEARD THE NAME.
NEVER MET ANY OF THEM THOUGH.
SEE, MY WIFE AND I,
WE'VE ONLY BEEN
HERE A FEW YEARS.
WE HAD A FARM SOUTH OF TOPEKA.
THOUGHT TEXAS WOULD
BE A GOOD PLACE TO RETIRE.
FOLKS ARE REAL NICE HERE!
YES, THEY ARE.
YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN TELLING
MY HUSBAND THAT FOR YEARS.
THIS IS HIS FIRST VISIT
TO THIS PART OF TEXAS.
WHERE Y'ALL FROM, ANYHOW?
I'M ORIGINALLY FROM DALLAS.
OH. YES, DAL...
BUT MY HUSBAND'S FROM L.A.
YEAH?
WELL..
YEAH, WELL, I... I THINK
YOU'LL LIKE THE ROOM.
IT'S... IT'S REAL NICE.
COURSE, IT'S A LITTLE EXPENSIVE:
$24 A NIGHT.
DOES THIS ROOM HAVE A PHONE?
CERTAINLY IT'S GOT A PHONE!
IT'S GOT EVERYTHING!
IT'S GOT AIR CONDITIONING,
VIBRA-MATIC BED... KING-SIZE!
YOU KNOW, IT'S OUR...
IT'S OUR BRIDAL SUITE.
WE'LL TAKE IT.
OH, YEAH! OH, YEAH!
OH-OH-OH YEAH!
WELL, NOW... THIS IS TERRIBLE!
LOOK AT THIS DECOR!
I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING TO BE...
RIGHT NOW.
OH.
OH. HO HO HO.
DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE.
WE DO HAVE WORK TO DO, YOU KNOW.
OH!
THE VIBRATING BED.
I CAN'T SLEEP ON A
BED IF IT VIBRATES!
SURE YOU CAN.
OH.
LOOK. IT'S GREAT.
COME ON.
WHAT SIDE OF THE BED
DO YOU SLEEP ON, ANYWAY?
RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE, HONEY.
UH, NO.
YOU DO HAVE TO MOVE
TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER.
I DO HAVE TO HAVE MY
OWN SPACE, YOU KNOW.
WE'LL FIT YOU IN THE OPEN
AREAS HERE. COME ON.
OH, GIVE IT A REST.
Hunter: OHH.
GUESS WHAT?
THERE ARE NO SCHOFIELDS
LISTED IN THE PHONE BOOK,
AND THIS ONE'S CURRENT.
THAT'S BECAUSE
THESE TYPES OF ROOMS
MADE THE SCHOFIELDS
LEAVE THE CITY.
COME ON, LOVE MUFFIN. HOP ON.
LET'S GO TALK TO
THE SHERIFF. COME ON.
YOU THINK THE SHERIFF
WILL HAVE SOME QUARTERS?
COME ON!
GREAT.
WHAT IS IT, 6:15?
THE PLACE IS CLOSED UP
JUST LIKE ORANGE COUNTY.
LET'S GO GET SOME BEER.
WANT ME TO TUCK YOU IN?
I'M FINE. JUST DO ME A FAVOR.
DON'T SNORE.
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I SNORE?
WHO TOLD YOU I SNORED?
WHY DO YOU THINK I SNORE?
WELL, REMEMBER THAT, UM...
THAT BLONDE YOU DATED
LAST YEAR WITH THE, UH...
YEAH? YEAH, WELL...
I TALKED TO HER A
LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW.
REALLY?
SHE SAID YOU SNORE
LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN.
W-W-WHAT ELSE DID
SHE SAY ABOUT ME?
GOOD NIGHT.
OH, NO.
TURN OFF THE BED!
Love muffin.
TURN OFF THE BED, YOU IDIOT!
HA HA HA HA HA!
WHY AIN'T YOU LAUGHIN'?
'CAUSE YOU TOLD ME
THAT JOKE LAST WEEK.
TWICE.
EXCUSE ME. WE'RE
LOOKIN' FOR THE SHERIFF.
WELL, YOU FOUND HIM, MA'AM.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
MY HUSBAND AND I ARE
TRYING TO FIND MY COUSIN
LaVONNE SCHOFIELD.
THE FAMILY'S FROM
AROUND THESE PARTS.
WE JUST LOST TRACK OF
EACH OTHER A LONG TIME AGO.
I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU MIGHT BE ABLE
TO GIVE US SOME HELP TO FIND HER NOW.
YEAH, SCHOFIELD.
THAT'S AN OLD PRUITVILLE NAME.
IN FACT, THERE'S AN OLD BUILDING
NEXT TO THE DEPOT OVER THERE
THAT'S CALLED
SCHOFIELD BUILDING.
HAVE YOU TRIED LOOKING HER UP
IN THE COUNTY PHONE BOOK?
WE SURE DID.
THE NAME SCHOFIELD AIN'T
EVEN IN THERE NO MORE.
Sheriff: NO SCHOFIELDS? MM-MM.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
ON SCHOFIELD AT ALL.
I GUESS THEY EITHER
ALL DIED OR MOVED.
BUD, DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THEM SCHOFIELDS?
THEY ALWAYS KEPT A BIG OLD
PLACE OUT THERE ON ROUTE 28.
AS FAR AS I KNOW,
IT'S STILL IN THE FAMILY.
YEAH, THAT OLD,
BROKEN-DOWN HOUSE
OUT THERE NEAR MANSFIELD ROAD.
HOW DO WE GET TO MANSFIELD ROAD?
YOU TAKE THIS MAIN ROAD,
TAKE IT ON OUT OF TOWN.
YOU CAN'T MISS IT.
THANKS. APPRECIATE IT.
HEY, IF YOU FIND ANY
OF THEM SCHOFIELDS
IN THAT OLD HOUSE,
I'D SURE LIKE TO KNOW
WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY
SINCE AIN'T NOBODY
SEEN 'EM FOR 20 YEARS.
WE'LL LET YOU KNOW. THANKS.
WELL, NOTHING LIKE A HOT TIP
ON A COLD DAY.
SO, YOU THINK WE SHOULD KNOCK?
YEAH, AVON CALLING.
NOBODY'S LIVED HERE IN 25 YEARS.
LaVONNE COULDN'T
HAVE BEEN RAISED HERE.
MAYBE THIS ISN'T
THE SCHOFIELD HOUSE.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
THIS PLACE GIVES ME THE CREEPS.
HOLD ON A SECOND.
Hunter: OLD BUD WAS RIGHT.
THIS IS DEFINITELY
THE SCHOFIELD PLACE.
LOOKS LIKE IT HAS
BEEN FOR A LONG TIME.
LOOK AT THE DATES
ON THESE THINGS.
LISTEN TO THIS.
ELIZABETH CLAY SCHOFIELD.
BORN 1837.
DIED 1883.
Hunter: DANIEL CLAY SCHOFIELD.
SON OF MARY ELIZABETH.
BORN 1843.
HE GAVE HIS LIFE
FOR THE NOBLE CAUSE
OF THE CONFEDERACY, 1862.
HEY, COME HERE.
OUR BELOVED BABY
LaVONNE SCHOFIELD.
BORN MAY 2, 1960.
DIED JULY 18, 1960.
ISN'T THAT THE DATE THAT
WAS ON HER BIRTH CERTIFICATE?
YEAH. THAT'S HER.
LOOK AT MY DESK.
EVERY TIME I LEAVE
AND I COME BACK,
SOMEONE'S ALWAYS
MONKEYING WITH MY DESK.
LOOK AT THIS!
DORIS? HUNTER.
IS COSLIN BACK AT HIS DESK YET?
OK, UH, DO ME A FAVOR.
TELL HIM AS SOON AS HE GETS IN
THAT I'M WAITING TO TALK TO HIM.
OK? WELL, YOU MIGHT SAY
I HAVE SOME THINGS TO
TALK TO HIM ABOUT. YEAH.
THANK YOU, HON. BYE.
Charlie: SO, LaVONNE SCHOFIELD
TURNS OUT TO BE A FRAUD, HUH?
Hunter: QUITE PROFESSIONAL
AT THAT, CHARLIE.
LaVONNE SCHOFIELD DIED
WHEN SHE WAS 2 MONTHS OLD.
HER MOTHER DIED IN CHILDBIRTH,
AND THE BABY WENT TO GO
LIVE WITH THE GRANDPARENTS.
AFTER THE BABY'S DEATH,
THE GRANDPARENTS
LIVED A SHORT TIME MORE,
AND THEN, AFTER THAT,
THAT ENDED THE FAMILY LINE.
SO A COUPLE YEARS AGO,
SOMEBODY GETS A COPY OF
LaVONNE'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE
FROM THE PRUIT
COUNTY SEAT, AND BINGO!
LaVONNE SCHOFIELD
LIVES AGAIN. VERY NEAT.
HEY, HUNTER.
SYBIL TAYLOR RETURNED YOUR CALL.
SAYS SHE WANTS YOU TO CALL
HER AT HER OFFICE OR GO SEE HER.
THAT'S WHERE SHE
IS. THANKS, BUDGE.
LISTEN, I THINK YOU'RE
ONTO SOMETHING BIG.
HAVE YOU CHECKED WITH THE FBI?
YEAH, WE GAVE THEM
THE INFORMATION.
THEY'RE GOING TO GET BACK TO
US AS SOON AS THEY FIND ANYTHING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS
IS, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY WEIRD.
KEEP ME POSTED, HMM? GOT IT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
SHE WASN'T WHO SHE SAID SHE WAS?
THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE
I FOUND IN THAT
DESK THE OTHER DAY
BELONGED TO A LaVONNE SCHOFIELD
OF PRUITVILLE, TEXAS.
NOW, SHE WAS BORN MAY 2, 1960.
SHE ALSO DIED
2 MONTHS AFTER THAT BIRTHDAY.
THE GIRL WHO
OCCUPIED THAT DESK...
WE DON'T KNOW WHO SHE IS
OR WHERE SHE CAME FROM.
I FIND THIS VERY
HARD TO BELIEVE.
McCall: WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
TELL YOU IS THAT GIRL IS A FRAUD.
NOW, IS THERE ANYTHING,
ANYTHING AT ALL
THAT YOU CAN TELL US
THAT WOULD HELP US TO
DETERMINE WHO SHE REALLY WAS?
WELL, THERE IS ONE THING
I DIDN'T TELL Y'ALL ABOUT.
BUT SHE MADE ME PROMISE
NEVER TO TELL ANYBODY.
SHE HAD THIS BOYFRIEND.
UM, I SAW THEM TOGETHER ONCE.
AND WHEN I MENTIONED
IT TO HER LATER,
SHE TOLD ME TO
FORGET I EVER SAW HIM.
WHEN WAS THIS?
A MONTH AGO.
DID SHE TELL YOU HIS NAME?
NO. SHE DIDN'T WANT
TO TALK ABOUT IT.
I FIGURED HE WAS
MARRIED OR SOMETHING.
Hunter: WELL, WHAT
DID HE LOOK LIKE?
HE WAS GOOD LOOKING.
HE WAS TALL, DARK HAIR.
LISTEN, WOULD YOU DO US A FAVOR
AND COME DOWN TO
THE STATION RIGHT NOW?
Man: OK, NOW HOW ABOUT THIS?
YEAH.
THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM.
JUST LIKE HIM.
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
WELL, IT LOOKS JUST
LIKE I REMEMBER HIM.
HOLD ON.
HOLD... BEAR WITH ME.
YEAH.
THAT THE GUY?
THAT'S HIM!
THAT'S HIM.
YOU FOLKS KNOW HIM OR SOMETHING?
YEAH. OK.
WELL, LET ME KNOW
IF YOU FIND HIM.
NO ONE'S SEEN HIM TODAY.
THEY CALLED HIS HOME.
THERE'S NO ANSWER.
ARE YOU SURE COSLIN
CAME TO YOUR HOUSE
THE SAME NIGHT THIS
SCHOFIELD WOMAN
OR WHATEVER THE HELL
HER NAME IS WAS MURDERED?
CHARLIE, COSLIN
SHOWED UP AT MY HOUSE
2:00 IN THE MORNING,
MONDAY NIGHT.
NOW, BARNEY PUTS
THE DEATH OF THE GIRL
AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME.
GO TO HIS HOUSE.
IF HE ISN'T THERE, WAIT FOR HIM.
YOU GOT IT.
PHONE IN THE PLATE.
COSLIN!
RILEY!
THE PROPERTY'S CLEAR.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
LET'S GET A PRINT
TEAM DOWN HERE, TOO.
AND THEN LET'S GET
BACK TO THE STATION.
I GOT A REAL GOOD LOOK AT THAT
GUY, AND I DON'T WANT TO FORGET HIM.
McCall: YEAH, THAT
WAS A LITTLE FULLER.
UMM...
EYES WERE A LITTLE
CLOSER TOGETHER.
HERE'S THE REPORT
ON THOSE PRINTS.
GREAT, BUDGE. THANKS.
YEAH.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
4 GUYS WITHOUT GLOVES
RIPPED THAT PLACE APART,
AND THEY DON'T HAVE A RECORD
ON THE PRINTS? THAT'S CRAZY!
HUNTER.
McCALL.
DIED SOME TIME LAST NIGHT.
GUNSHOT TO THE HEART.
COME ON. GET OUT OF THERE.
YOU HAVE 5 SECONDS TO
TELL ME WHY YOU'RE TAILING ME.
I'M NOT AT LIBERTY TO
DISCUSS THIS MATTER WITH YOU.
ALL RIGHT. WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?
MAY I?
SURE.
I'M NOT AT LIBERTY TO
DISCUSS THIS MATTER.
THAT FIGURES.
PARDON ME, SIGNOR.
DO YOU HAVE A RESERVATION?
NO, I DON'T. I'LL
ONLY BE A MOMENT.
HIYA, BRAD.
SURPRISED TO SEE ME?
NOT REALLY.
WHAT'S IT BEEN NOW,
A YEAR SINCE I GAVE
YOU THE ZUKOFF CASE?
WHY DON'T WE TALK ABOUT
THIS TOMORROW AT MY OFFICE?
I HAVE A FRIEND OF YOURS
OUT IN THE BACK OF MY CAR...
A SPECIAL AGENT BRELSFORD.
EXCUSE ME, GENTLEMEN.
YOU'RE HAVING ME FOLLOWED, BRAD.
I WANT TO KNOW WHY.
BECAUSE YOU'RE INVOLVED
WITH A CASE WE'RE INVOLVED IN,
AND I DON'T WANT YOU
INVOLVED. LaVONNE SCHOFIELD?
THAT'S A MURDER CASE! I
GET PAID TO SOLVE THOSE.
WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON IS A
HELL OF A LOT MORE IMPORTANT
THAN YOUR HOMICIDE
CASE. I WANT YOU OUT OF IT.
THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
YOU BETTER COME WITH ME.
WHAT'S THIS LOOK
LIKE TO YOU, SERGEANT?
OH, I DON'T KNOW.
GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT?
AMHERST, MASSACHUSETTS?
YOU TELL ME.
NEVESGRAAD.
UKRAINE. SOVIET UNION.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT HERE?
THERE'S A HOT DOG STAND
WITH A CHEVY OUT FRONT.
MM-HMM.
THOSE PICTURES
WERE TAKEN IN 1968
BY ONE OF OUR
RUSSIAN OPERATIVES.
THEY'RE THE FIRST AND LAST PICTURES
TO EVER COME OUT OF THE SOVIET UNION
OF A POTEMKIN VILLAGE.
A WHAT?
POTEMKIN VILLAGE!
CAREFULLY SELECTED
RUSSIAN YOUTHS
ARE SENT IN THEIR
TEENS TO VILLAGES
THAT LOOK JUST LIKE
SMALL TOWN AMERICA.
THEY STAY THERE. THEY LEARN TO
SPEAK ENGLISH WITH THE RIGHT ACCENT.
THEY WATCH AMERICAN TV.
THEY READ AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS.
THEY ARE COMMITTED,
INDOCTRINATED
COMMUNIST PARTY CADRES
WHO END UP LOOKING
LIKE THE QUINTESSENTIAL,
RED-BLOODED AMERICAN.
SOME OF THESE VILLAGES
LOOK LIKE NEW ENGLAND.
SOME OF THEM LOOK LIKE MONTANA.
SOME OF THEM LOOK
LIKE PRUITVILLE, TEXAS!
LaVONNE CALLED US LAST WEEK.
SHE WANTED TO DEFECT.
SHE FELL IN LOVE
WITH AN AMERICAN,
BUT SHE WAS AFRAID BECAUSE
HER FAMILY, HER 2 BROTHERS...
THEY WERE STILL
IN THE SOVIET UNION.
SHE ASKED US IF WE
WOULD SET UP A MEETING
FOR HER IN A SAFE PLACE.
WE ARRANGED IT.
SHE NEVER SHOWED.
YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHY SHE DIDN'T SHOW UP?
Brad: WHY?
BECAUSE SHE FELL IN
LOVE WITH A POLICE OFFICER,
A FELLOW POLICE OFFICER
BY THE NAME OF RILEY COSLIN.
NOW HE'S DEAD.
NOW, COME ON. WHAT THE HELL IS
GOING ON OVER AT PACIFIC INDUSTRIES
THAT I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT?
WHAT ARE THE RUSSIANS
DOING OVER THERE?
I'M SORRY. I CANNOT RISK HAVING
YOU INVOLVED WITH THIS OPERATION.
BUT I AM INVOLVED IN THIS!
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
I MEAN, COME ON. I AM INVOLVED.
I'VE GOT A PHOTOGRAPH,
A SKETCH OF A MAN...
ONE OF THE MEN THAT
RANSACKED RILEY COSLIN'S HOUSE.
NOW, YOU WANT TO SEE THAT?
SURE.
LET'S GO SEE YOUR SKETCH.
Hunter: YOU KNOW HIM?
YEAH, I KNOW HIM.
HE'S IGOR WELACHEVSKI.
HE WAS LaVONNE'S
IMMEDIATE SUPERIOR.
WE DON'T WANT HIM.
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO PIN LaVONNE'S
MURDER HERE ON HIM AS WELL AS COSLIN'S,
BUT HE'S NOT THE MAN WE
WANT. WE WANT HIS BOSS!
HE'S MIDDLE LEVEL.
WE'RE NEVER GOING TO GET HIS
BOSS IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ME.
I WANT YOUR MEN OFF THIS CASE.
LOOK, I KNOW HOW
YOU FEEL ABOUT COSLIN,
BUT HE'S GOT A POINT,
NOT TO MENTION POLITICAL CLOUT.
LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING, CHARLIE.
THE LAST TIME THAT GUY
SAID I INTERFERED IN HIS CASE,
I ENDED UP HANDING IT TO HIM.
I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT
THE CASE, HUNTER.
I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
I'VE ALREADY LOST
ONE MAN TO THIS THING.
I DON'T WANT TO
LOSE ANOTHER ONE.
I WANT TO TALK TO
YOU ABOUT THAT.
Man, Russian accent: DON'T
MOVE, SERGEANT HUNTER.
NOW TURN AROUND SLOWLY,
YOUR HANDS AT YOUR SIDES.
YOU'RE COMING WITH US.
TERRIFIC.
I HAVE ONLY ONE QUESTION
TO ASK YOU, SERGEANT.
WHERE'S THE KEY?
DR. SHAPIRO, IT'S
REALLY GOOD TO SEE YOU.
WHERE IS THE KEY?
WHAT KEY?
I HOPE YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO TRY TO BE HEROIC
LIKE YOUR FRIEND
DETECTIVE COSLIN.
BUT THEN, LOVE
MAKES FOOLS OF US ALL,
DOESN'T IT, SERGEANT?
COSLIN WAS NO FOOL, DR. SHAPIRO.
OTHERWISE, YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE.
I'M HERE BECAUSE
HE LED MY ASSOCIATES
ON A GOOSE CHASE
AND PAID WITH HIS LIFE.
NOW YOU HAVE THE
INFORMATION I NEED,
AND I WILL GET IT FROM YOU.
NOW TELL ME WHERE THE KEY IS.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WHAT MAKES YOU AND THESE IDIOTS
THINK YOU CAN PUT THAT ON ME?
YOU NEEDN'T STRUGGLE, SERGEANT.
IT'LL DO YOU NO GOOD.
HEY, LOOK.
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT YOUR KEY, OK?
YOU COULD SAVE YOURSELF A
GREAT DEAL OF PAIN, SERGEANT.
COSLIN NEVER SAID
ANYTHING ABOUT A KEY.
LOOK. THIS THING
DIDN'T WORK ON LaVONNE.
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
IT'S GOING TO WORK ON ME?
LaVONNE WAS VERY WELL TRAINED.
TRAINED TO WITHSTAND PENTOTHAL
AND A GREAT DEAL OF PAIN.
Officer: POLICE! FREEZE!
Officer: THROW DOWN
YOUR WEAPONS!
Officer: FREEZE!
DROP YOUR WEAPONS!
COME OUT WITH YOUR
HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD!
THERE'S DR. SHAPIRO OVER THERE.
THAT'S THE GUY THAT
WILKES WAS AFTER.
COSLIN APPARENTLY
HID A KEY AT MY HOUSE.
WE'VE GOT TO SEND SOMEONE
OVER THERE TO FIND IT.
SEND A SEARCH TEAM OVER
TO HUNTER'S ON THE DOUBLE!
I'LL MEET YOU THERE.
AND WHERE WERE YOU GUYS?
HOW COME YOU TOOK SO LONG?
THAT GUY COULD HAVE
POACHED ME WITH THAT THING.
YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN GIVING THIS AN
AWFUL LOT OF THOUGHT, SERGEANT.
AND WHAT I THINK THEY NEED
IS A SHORTER QUARTERBACK.
YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T KNOW
THE FIRST THING ABOUT FOOTBALL.
WHEN'S THE LAST TIME
YOU EVEN SAW A GAME?
Man: HUNTER!
McCALL!
GOT A VISITOR.
HIYA, BRAD.
HI. HOW ARE YOU?
JUST CAME BY BECAUSE
I WANTED TO THANK YOU
FOR ALL YOUR HELP.
OH. WELL, YOU'RE WELCOME.
WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH SHAPIRO?
WELL, HE'S THE MAN, ALL RIGHT.
HE'S NOT TALKING,
BUT HE'S THE MAN.
THAT KEY THAT WE
FOUND AT YOUR HOUSE
IS TO A SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX.
IT HAD ALL THIS INFORMATION
ABOUT THE POTEMKIN
VILLAGE OPERATION
AS WELL AS SHAPIRO'S
INVOLVEMENT IN IT.
MMM.
I, UH...
WELL, I JUST KNOW THAT NEXT TIME
I WON'T SELL YOU GUYS SO SHORT.
WELL, WE APPRECIATE
THAT, DON'T WE?
THANKS, BRAD.
YEAH.
I LEARNED SOMETHING ELSE, TOO.
WHAT'S THAT?
WELL, IT'S JUST THAT BOTH OF US,
OUR SIDE AND THEIRS,
WE PUT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
AND THOUSANDS OF LIFETIMES
INTO THESE CAREFULLY
PLANNED OPERATIONS,
AND WE JUST SEE
THEM CRASHING DOWN
BECAUSE WE FORGET A
HUMAN BEING'S INVOLVED.
YEAH.
YOU THINK MAYBE WE COULD,
UH, INVITE BRAD TO LUNCH?
YEAH. WHAT DO YOU
SAY? WANT TO JOIN US?
YEAH. SURE, IF YOU
LET ME PICK UP THE TAB.
MY AGENCY'S BUDGET IS A HELL
OF A LOT BIGGER THAN YOURS.
CERTAINLY. YEAH.
NOW, WHAT IS THE NAME
OF THAT AGENCY AGAIN?
I KEEP FORGETTING.
OH, THAT'S BECAUSE I KEEP
DECLINING TO TELL YOU.
GET IN THE BACKSEAT, BRAD.
RIGHT. IN THE BACK. GOOD.
JUST A LITTLE MISUNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN ME AND L.A.'s FINEST.
I'LL HAVE IT CLEARED
UP IN A SECOND!
Man: DIED SOMETIME LAST
NIGHT. GUNSHOT TO THE HEART.
SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH
A POLICE OFFICER...
A FELLOW POLICE OFFICER
BY THE NAME OF RILEY COSLIN.
IT'S OUR BRIDAL SUITE.
Hunter: COME ON,
LOVE MUFFIN. HOP ON.
WANT ME TO TUCK YOU IN?
GOOD MORNING TO YOU, TOO.
WHAT MAKES YOU AND THESE IDIOTS
THINK YOU CAN PUT THAT ON ME?
THIS BETTER BE GOOD.
YEAH, YEAH. GEEZ.
COSLIN.
HUNTER, I'M IN TROUBLE.
YEAH, YOU SURE ARE.
IT'S 2:00 IN THE MORNING.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
LOOK, MAN, YOU GOTTA HELP ME.
WATCH OUT WITH THE
CURTAINS, WILL YOU?
YOU GOT TO LET ME
STAY HERE TONIGHT, OK?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WILL YOU RELAX?
DON'T TURN THE LIGHT...
COSLIN!
SIT DOWN.
GET IN THERE!
SIT DOWN RIGHT THERE.
IT'S TOO EARLY TO BE
CRAZY LIKE THIS, COSLIN.
NOW, LOOK, IT'S
2:00 IN THE MORNING.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
I CAN'T TELL YOU YET.
OH, COME ON. DON'T TELL ME THAT.
LOOK, I'LL TELL YOU
FIRST THING TOMORROW.
I PROMISE.
OK.
OVER THERE ON THE
WINDOW SEAT IS A BLANKET.
YOU'LL FIND THE PILLOWS
THERE ON THE COUCH.
GOOD NIGHT. I'M GOING
TO COME DOWN HERE
FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING,
AND THIS BETTER BE GOOD.
HEY, RICK.
THANKS.
WHAT?
I DON'T HAVE TIME TO EXPLAIN.
JUST TAKE IT.
I LOVE YOU.
HEY!
GET HIM.
OK, COSLIN. RISE AND SHINE.
RILEY!
GOOD MORNING TO YOU, TOO.
CHARLIE...
WHAT CASE WAS COSLIN WORKING ON?
HE WASN'T WORKING ON
ANYTHING. HE'S ON VACATION.
DUE BACK TODAY.
BEFORE HE WAS ON VACATION,
WHAT CASE WAS HE WORKING ON?
NOTHING VERY IMPORTANT.
THAT'S WHY HE TOOK THE TIME OFF.
WHY THE SUDDEN
INTEREST IN COSLIN?
UH, THAT'S OK, CHARLIE. THANKS.
McCall: HAVE A NICE WEEKEND?
YEAH.
COULD HAVE FOOLED ME.
I HAD A STRANGE THING HAPPEN
TO ME LAST NIGHT, McCALL.
McCall: WHAT?
JUST A SECOND.
WHAT?
HI, RILEY.
HEY, HUNTER. HOW YOU DOING?
CUT THE CRAP, RILEY.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I'M TALKING ABOUT LAST NIGHT.
LOOK, I JUST GOT BACK
FROM VACATION, AND...
LOOK, DON'T JACK ME AROUND HERE.
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!
HEY, COSLIN!
DEPUTY CHIEF WYLER WANTS
TO SEE YOU ON THE DOUBLE.
WHAT WAS THAT ALL
ABOUT? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
FINE.
DON'T WE HAVE SOME
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
ON THE DEFATTA CASE?
YEAH.
WE HAVE TO DO THE
FINAL PAPERWORK,
GET IT FROM THE M.E.,
AND A DEPOSITION ON
DEFATTA'S BROTHER.
GOOD. YOU TAKE THE M.E.
I'LL TAKE HIS BROTHER.
YOU SURE YOU'RE OK?
HI, RILEY. LET'S CHAT.
WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU DOING, MAN?
SHUT UP. SIT DOWN.
WHY THE SUDDEN LOSS OF
MEMORY THIS MORNING, HUH?
I CAN'T TELL YOU.
I-I-I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT.
YES, YOU CAN.
LET'S HAVE IT, RILEY.
I'M NOT LEAVING UNTIL YOU...
LOOK, I WISH I COULD
TELL YOU, BUT I CAN'T.
YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT.
I DON'T ACCEPT THAT!
YOU THINK I'M NUTS?
YOU SHOW UP AT MY HOUSE
LAST NIGHT LIKE A WILD MAN.
YOU BEG ME TO LET
YOU SLEEP ON MY COUCH.
IN THE MORNING, YOU DISAPPEAR.
YOU SHOW UP AT THE
PRECINCT THIS MORNING,
AND YOU ACT AS IF
NOTHING EVER HAPPENED.
NOW, WHAT'S THE
BIG SECRET, RILEY?
MAYBE I CAN HELP YOU.
YOU CAN'T HELP ME,
MAN. NOBODY CAN.
SIT DOWN.
I'M NOT LEAVING TILL
I GET SOME ANSWERS.
LOOK, I GOTTA DO THIS ON MY OWN.
YOU GOTTA GIVE ME SOME TIME.
I'LL TELL YOU THE WHOLE STORY
IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
ALL RIGHT?
BUT FOR NOW, IT'S JUST
BETWEEN YOU AND ME.
COME ON, RICK. PLEASE?
LOOK, RILEY, YOU BETTER
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
McCall: GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT.
Hunter: OH, I'M SORRY.
I HAD TO TAKE CARE OF
SOME PERSONAL BUSINESS.
BARNEY, WHAT HAVE WE GOT?
Barney: WELL, WE'VE
GOT A FEMALE,
CAUCASIAN, MID-TWENTIES.
UH, CAUSE OF DEATH?
I DON'T KNOW YET.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
Hunter: EXCUSE ME.
I'LL NEED COPIES OF THESE PRINTS
AS SOON AS YOU
CAN GET THEM TO ME.
ANY I.D.?
Barney: NOTHING.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
KILLED HER, BARNEY?
NOT A CLUE.
AUTOPSY WILL TELL US, I HOPE.
McCall: ANY INDICATION OF DRUGS?
DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING.
WHY DON'T YOU GUYS COME
BY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING?
YEAH.
THANKS, BARN.
McCall: CARLOS.
CARLOS, WAKE UP!
COME ON, CARLOS. WAKE UP.
McCALL, MY LITTLE FOX.
I WAS JUST HAVING
THE MOST WONDERFUL
DREAM ABOUT YOU.
LISTEN TO THIS.
I WAS DEAD, LYING
ON THIS GURNEY.
YOU GUYS WERE STANDING OVER ME,
TALKING ABOUT ME.
HUNTER, YOU SAID
THE NICEST THINGS.
YOU WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THEY BURIED ME WITH MY TUBA.
NO, NOT WITH IT. IN IT.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
IT WAS BEYOND HIM.
WHERE'S BARNEY?
HE WENT HOME TO GET SOME SLEEP.
HE WAS HERE HALF THE NIGHT.
LISTEN, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A D.B.
THAT WAS BROUGHT IN
HERE LATE LAST NIGHT.
BLONDE.
NAME'S LaVONNE SCHOFIELD.
YOU GOT A NAME ON HER?
YEAH. WE RAN HER
PRINTS LAST NIGHT.
NOW WHERE'S YOUR REPORT?
IT'S RIGHT HERE, LITTLE FOX.
IT'LL BE TRANSCRIBED
AS SOON AS MABEL GETS IN.
YOU SHOULD HAVE IT BY 10 A.M.
BUT I GOT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
I WAS LOOKING OVER
BARNEY'S SHOULDER
ALL NIGHT LONG.
COME ON. YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THIS.
YEAH.
Hunter: SO, WHAT'S SO
INTERESTING HERE, CARLOS?
WELL, AT FIRST GLANCE,
SHE'S YOUR AVERAGE,
ALL-AMERICAN GIRL.
WELL-NOURISHED, GOOD TEETH.
SO BARNEY TAKES A
LITTLE BLOOD SAMPLE,
AND GUESS WHAT HE FOUND?
ROOT BEER.
5 ETHYL, 5-1 METHYL BUTYL,
2 THIO,
10 BARBITURATE.
CARLOS, WHAT IS THAT?
SODIUM PENTOTHAL.
AND NOT JUST TRACES. MEGADOSES.
LIKE OVER 100 C.C.s.
WE'RE TALKING MORE THAN ENOUGH
TO MAKE HER TONGUE
A LITTLE LOOSE.
YEAH, BUT I DON'T THINK
SHE DID MUCH TALKING.
LET ME SHOW YOU THIS.
BARNEY NOTICED THESE TWO BANDS
OF SLIGHTLY DISCOLORED SKIN
ACROSS HER INDEX
AND MIDDLE FINGERS,
WHICH, IN AND OF ITSELF,
DID NOT SEEM SIGNIFICANT.
UNTIL...
CONDUCTIVE JELLY.
LIKE TO CONDUCT ELECTRICITY.
NOT THE KIND OF STUFF
WE FIND ON EVERY CORPSE
THEY WHEEL IN HERE.
BARNEY ESTIMATED TIME OF DEATH
BETWEEN 1 AND 2 A.M.,
NIGHT BEFORE LAST.
AS TO THE CAUSE OF DEATH:
TRAUMATIC, MASSIVE
CORONARY ARREST.
WHEN THEY TURNED ON THE JUICE,
WELL, YOU SEE,
SHE HAD THIS LITTLE
VALVE DEFORMITY.
PROBABLY DIDN'T
EVEN KNOW SHE HAD IT.
SO BARNEY DOESN'T THINK
THEY MEANT TO KILL HER.
THAT'S RIGHT.
OK, I'LL CHECK OUT
HER APARTMENT.
YOU GO BACK TO THE PRECINCT.
NO, NO.
I'M NOT GONNA GO
BACK TO THE STATION
AND DO PAPERWORK
ALL MORNING. NO WAY.
WE'LL FLIP FOR IT. I
DON'T WANT TO FLIP FOR IT.
WHY NOT? BECAUSE I ALWAYS LOSE!
SO WHAT? IT'S GOOD FOR
YOU TO LOSE SOMETIMES.
BESIDES, I FEEL AS THOUGH
YOUR LUCK COULD CHANGE.
COME ON. I'M GONNA CHOOSE.
I CAN... WAIT, LET ME SEE.
CALL IT.
HEADS.
I HATE THAT.
NOBODY IS SAFE IN
THIS COUNTRY ANYMORE.
HOW HAS LONG HAS LaVONNE
LIVED HERE, MISS POST?
SHE MOVED HERE FROM
TEXAS 2 YEARS AGO.
IF YOU WANT MY OPINION,
SHE SHOULD HAVE STAYED THERE.
MAYBE SHE'D BE ALIVE TODAY.
I MEAN, SHE WAS A
SWEET, YOUNG THING.
SHE COULDN'T HURT A FLY.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.
DID LaVONNE HAVE ANY FRIENDS?
COURSE SHE HAD FRIENDS.
SHE HAD A LOT OF FRIENDS.
OH, MY GOD.
OH, GOD.
SYBIL.
SYBIL?
IT'S HER BEST FRIEND.
SHE LIVES HERE ACROSS THE HALL.
NOW, I DON'T KNOW...
I REALLY DON'T KNOW
HOW I'M SUPPOSED
TO TELL HER THIS.
DO YOU THINK SYBIL
WOULD BE HOME RIGHT NOW?
NO, SHE WOULDN'T BE HOME.
SHE'D BE WORKING
'CAUSE THE TWO OF
THEM WORKED TOGETHER.
PACIFIC INDUSTRIES
DOWN ON FOURTH STREET.
OK.
THANKS, MISS POST,
FOR YOUR TIME.
I'M VERY SORRY ABOUT LaVONNE.
BYE.
Woman: I CAN'T
BELIEVE SHE'S DEAD.
I MEAN, WHO WOULD
WANT TO DO SUCH A THING?
EVERYONE LOVED HER.
YOU WERE PRETTY CLOSE, HUH?
OH, WE WERE LIKE SISTERS.
WE WERE!
BOTH FROM TEXAS,
SO WE HAD A LOT IN COMMON.
WHEN DID YOU FIRST MEET?
COUPLE YEARS AGO, I GUESS.
RIGHT AFTER SHE MOVED TO L.A.
DO YOU THINK IT'S POSSIBLE
FOR ME TO LOOK THROUGH HER DESK,
HER PERSONAL
BELONGINGS HERE AT WORK?
PERHAPS IT MIGHT HELP ME.
YEAH. YEAH, SURE.
I'LL SHOW YOU WHERE IT IS.
SO, IS THERE ANYTHING
ELSE? ANYTHING UNUSUAL?
OH, GOSH. UH...
WELL, A MAN CALLED
A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS
MEANS ANYTHING.
BUT, UM, WELL,
HE THOUGHT I WAS LaVONNE
'CAUSE OF MY ACCENT.
HE STARTED TALKING TO ME
UNTIL I TOLD HIM I WASN'T HER,
YOU KNOW, SHE WASN'T IN.
DO YOU RECALL HIS NAME?
YEAH, I WROTE IT DOWN.
IT WAS DR. SHAPIRO.
I REMEMBER 'CAUSE SHE
AND I HAD THE SAME DOCTOR.
AND IT WASN'T HIM.
Man: SERGEANT, I
WANT TO HELP YOU
FIND THIS PERSON WHO KILLED HER.
I CARED FOR HER VERY DEEPLY.
IT'S BECAUSE OF MY
FEELINGS FOR HER
THAT I ASK YOU TO USE DISCRETION
WITH ANY INFORMATION I GIVE YOU.
I UNDERSTAND THAT.
LaVONNE WAS A VERY SWEET
AND INNOCENT GIRL.
UNFORTUNATELY,
THESE ENDEARING
QUALITIES OF HERS
CAUSED HER A CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF PAIN.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
SHE WAS BORN IN A
LITTLE TOWN IN TEXAS.
PRUITVILLE.
Doctor: YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
PRUITVILLE.
HER PARENTS DIED WHEN
SHE WAS VERY YOUNG,
AND SO SHE WAS RAISED
BY HER GRANDPARENTS
WHOM SHE LOVED VERY MUCH,
BUT THOSE ADVANCED YEARS
STUNTED THE DEVELOPMENT
OF CERTAIN SOCIAL SKILLS
USUALLY ACQUIRED DURING PUBERTY.
THE POINT IS, SERGEANT,
THAT SHE HAD DIFFICULTY
RELATING TO MEN,
WHICH IS WHY SHE CAME TO ME.
LaVONNE, AT THE AGE OF 26,
WAS STILL A VIRGIN.
YES, I'LL HOLD.
DAMN IT.
HAVING FUN?
LOADS.
YOU KNOW, THIS...
Man: THAT'S OK,
OFFICERS, REALLY!
I HAVE BEEN WALKING
SINCE I WAS 2!
WELL, I DON'T REALLY
REMEMBER THAT FAR,
BUT MY MAMA SAYS I WAS A
PRETTY PRECOCIOUS CHILD.
GOOD AFTERNOON, SERGEANTS!
JUST A LITTLE MISUNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN ME AND L. A.'s FINEST.
I'LL HAVE IT CLEARED
UP IN A SECOND.
DON'T EVEN BOTHER
TO GET UP. OUCH!
HELLO. YEAH.
THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE?
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?
NOT MUCH AT ALL.
THEY FOUND HER CAR IN WESTWOOD.
SHE'S GOT A CLEAN RECORD,
AND THERE WERE 2 SETS
OF PRINTS IN THE CAR...
HER AND SOMEBODY
NAMED SYBIL TAYLOR.
YEAH, I JUST TALKED TO HER.
WHAT IS THIS?
IT'S A BIRTH CERTIFICATE,
TAX RETURN,
AND PERSONAL I.D.
YOU'VE GOT A BLOOD
DONOR CARD, TOO.
WHERE'D YOU GET THIS STUFF?
FROM HER DESK AT
PACIFIC INDUSTRIES.
WHAT DO THEY DO THERE?
THEY MAKE PRECISION FASTENERS.
WHAT?
NUTS, BOLTS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
SOUNDS EXCITING.
SAYS HERE SHE WAS
BORN IN PRUITVILLE, TEXAS.
MAY 2, 1960.
THE PEOPLE I TALKED TO
SAY SHE'S YOUR TYPICAL,
ORDINARY GIRL NEXT DOOR.
WELL, WHO WOULD WANT
TO TORTURE AND MURDER
THE TYPICAL, ORDINARY
GIRL NEXT DOOR?
PRUITVILLE?
WHERE THE HELL IS PRUITVILLE?
TEXAS. 140 MILES
SOUTH OF LONGVIEW.
ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU CAN'T
GET ANY INFORMATION ON THIS GIRL
WITHOUT GOING TO
PRUITVILLE, TEXAS?
CHARLIE, THIS IS A REAL
STRANGE CASE WE HAVE HERE.
THIS GIRL WAS THE ULTIMATE,
ALL-AMERICAN GIRL
NEXT DOOR PROFILE,
AND SHE WINDS UP BEING
TORTURED TO DEATH.
NOW, WE HAVE TRIED
EVERYTHING IN L.A.
WE'VE COME UP EMPTY.
WHY DON'T YOU TRY CALLING
THE LAW IN PRUITVILLE?
OH, CHARLIE, WE DON'T WANT
TO CHECK OUT OUR ONLY LEAD
ON A LONG DISTANCE PHONE
CALL TO SOMEBODY WE DON'T KNOW.
HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST?
IT'S NOT GOING TO COST
HARDLY ANYTHING AT ALL.
LONGVIEW ROUND TRIP AIRFARE
IS NOTHING, A
COUPLE MOTEL ROOMS,
A RENTAL CAR...
500 BUCKS AT MOST.
I'M GOING TO HOLD
YOU TO THAT, McCALL.
HAVE A NICE TRIP.
YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT GUY
AT THE RENTAL CAR
AGENCY IS RIGHT.
I MEAN, HE GREW UP
30 MILES OUT OF PRUITVILLE.
IF WE GO IN THERE AND
START FLASHING OUR BADGES,
WE'RE NOT GOING TO
GET ANY INFORMATION
FROM THOSE GUYS.
WHEN IN ROME...
YEAH.
I THINK WE OUGHT TO JUST
PRETEND WE'RE MARRIED.
BE A LOT EASIER.
OK, LOVE MUFFIN.
HEH. LOVE MUFFIN?
YOU CALL ALL YOUR
WIVES LOVE MUFFIN?
PICK YOU UP A RING
WHEN WE GET INTO TOWN.
OH, WELL.
THANK YOU FOR
THAT CONSIDERATION,
BUT IT REALLY ISN'T NECESSARY.
LOVE MUFFIN!
WELL, YOU'RE IN LUCK,
MR. AND MRS. HUNTER.
THIS IS OUR LAST ROOM,
AND IT'S OUR BEST ONE.
WELL, THAT'LL BE FINE.
WHAT?
I SAID THAT WILL BE FINE. FINE!
NOW, WHAT ARE YOU UP HERE FOR?
COUNTY AGRICULTURAL MEETING?
NO. UH, WE'RE UP HERE
LOOKIN' FOR MY COUSIN.
HER NAME'S SCHOFIELD.
SCHOFIELD. I HEARD THE NAME.
NEVER MET ANY OF THEM THOUGH.
SEE, MY WIFE AND I,
WE'VE ONLY BEEN
HERE A FEW YEARS.
WE HAD A FARM SOUTH OF TOPEKA.
THOUGHT TEXAS WOULD
BE A GOOD PLACE TO RETIRE.
FOLKS ARE REAL NICE HERE!
YES, THEY ARE.
YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN TELLING
MY HUSBAND THAT FOR YEARS.
THIS IS HIS FIRST VISIT
TO THIS PART OF TEXAS.
WHERE Y'ALL FROM, ANYHOW?
I'M ORIGINALLY FROM DALLAS.
OH. YES, DAL...
BUT MY HUSBAND'S FROM L.A.
YEAH?
WELL..
YEAH, WELL, I... I THINK
YOU'LL LIKE THE ROOM.
IT'S... IT'S REAL NICE.
COURSE, IT'S A LITTLE EXPENSIVE:
$24 A NIGHT.
DOES THIS ROOM HAVE A PHONE?
CERTAINLY IT'S GOT A PHONE!
IT'S GOT EVERYTHING!
IT'S GOT AIR CONDITIONING,
VIBRA-MATIC BED... KING-SIZE!
YOU KNOW, IT'S OUR...
IT'S OUR BRIDAL SUITE.
WE'LL TAKE IT.
OH, YEAH! OH, YEAH!
OH-OH-OH YEAH!
WELL, NOW... THIS IS TERRIBLE!
LOOK AT THIS DECOR!
I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING TO BE...
RIGHT NOW.
OH.
OH. HO HO HO.
DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE.
WE DO HAVE WORK TO DO, YOU KNOW.
OH!
THE VIBRATING BED.
I CAN'T SLEEP ON A
BED IF IT VIBRATES!
SURE YOU CAN.
OH.
LOOK. IT'S GREAT.
COME ON.
WHAT SIDE OF THE BED
DO YOU SLEEP ON, ANYWAY?
RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE, HONEY.
UH, NO.
YOU DO HAVE TO MOVE
TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER.
I DO HAVE TO HAVE MY
OWN SPACE, YOU KNOW.
WE'LL FIT YOU IN THE OPEN
AREAS HERE. COME ON.
OH, GIVE IT A REST.
Hunter: OHH.
GUESS WHAT?
THERE ARE NO SCHOFIELDS
LISTED IN THE PHONE BOOK,
AND THIS ONE'S CURRENT.
THAT'S BECAUSE
THESE TYPES OF ROOMS
MADE THE SCHOFIELDS
LEAVE THE CITY.
COME ON, LOVE MUFFIN. HOP ON.
LET'S GO TALK TO
THE SHERIFF. COME ON.
YOU THINK THE SHERIFF
WILL HAVE SOME QUARTERS?
COME ON!
GREAT.
WHAT IS IT, 6:15?
THE PLACE IS CLOSED UP
JUST LIKE ORANGE COUNTY.
LET'S GO GET SOME BEER.
WANT ME TO TUCK YOU IN?
I'M FINE. JUST DO ME A FAVOR.
DON'T SNORE.
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I SNORE?
WHO TOLD YOU I SNORED?
WHY DO YOU THINK I SNORE?
WELL, REMEMBER THAT, UM...
THAT BLONDE YOU DATED
LAST YEAR WITH THE, UH...
YEAH? YEAH, WELL...
I TALKED TO HER A
LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW.
REALLY?
SHE SAID YOU SNORE
LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN.
W-W-WHAT ELSE DID
SHE SAY ABOUT ME?
GOOD NIGHT.
OH, NO.
TURN OFF THE BED!
Love muffin.
TURN OFF THE BED, YOU IDIOT!
HA HA HA HA HA!
WHY AIN'T YOU LAUGHIN'?
'CAUSE YOU TOLD ME
THAT JOKE LAST WEEK.
TWICE.
EXCUSE ME. WE'RE
LOOKIN' FOR THE SHERIFF.
WELL, YOU FOUND HIM, MA'AM.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
MY HUSBAND AND I ARE
TRYING TO FIND MY COUSIN
LaVONNE SCHOFIELD.
THE FAMILY'S FROM
AROUND THESE PARTS.
WE JUST LOST TRACK OF
EACH OTHER A LONG TIME AGO.
I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU MIGHT BE ABLE
TO GIVE US SOME HELP TO FIND HER NOW.
YEAH, SCHOFIELD.
THAT'S AN OLD PRUITVILLE NAME.
IN FACT, THERE'S AN OLD BUILDING
NEXT TO THE DEPOT OVER THERE
THAT'S CALLED
SCHOFIELD BUILDING.
HAVE YOU TRIED LOOKING HER UP
IN THE COUNTY PHONE BOOK?
WE SURE DID.
THE NAME SCHOFIELD AIN'T
EVEN IN THERE NO MORE.
Sheriff: NO SCHOFIELDS? MM-MM.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
ON SCHOFIELD AT ALL.
I GUESS THEY EITHER
ALL DIED OR MOVED.
BUD, DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THEM SCHOFIELDS?
THEY ALWAYS KEPT A BIG OLD
PLACE OUT THERE ON ROUTE 28.
AS FAR AS I KNOW,
IT'S STILL IN THE FAMILY.
YEAH, THAT OLD,
BROKEN-DOWN HOUSE
OUT THERE NEAR MANSFIELD ROAD.
HOW DO WE GET TO MANSFIELD ROAD?
YOU TAKE THIS MAIN ROAD,
TAKE IT ON OUT OF TOWN.
YOU CAN'T MISS IT.
THANKS. APPRECIATE IT.
HEY, IF YOU FIND ANY
OF THEM SCHOFIELDS
IN THAT OLD HOUSE,
I'D SURE LIKE TO KNOW
WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY
SINCE AIN'T NOBODY
SEEN 'EM FOR 20 YEARS.
WE'LL LET YOU KNOW. THANKS.
WELL, NOTHING LIKE A HOT TIP
ON A COLD DAY.
SO, YOU THINK WE SHOULD KNOCK?
YEAH, AVON CALLING.
NOBODY'S LIVED HERE IN 25 YEARS.
LaVONNE COULDN'T
HAVE BEEN RAISED HERE.
MAYBE THIS ISN'T
THE SCHOFIELD HOUSE.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
THIS PLACE GIVES ME THE CREEPS.
HOLD ON A SECOND.
Hunter: OLD BUD WAS RIGHT.
THIS IS DEFINITELY
THE SCHOFIELD PLACE.
LOOKS LIKE IT HAS
BEEN FOR A LONG TIME.
LOOK AT THE DATES
ON THESE THINGS.
LISTEN TO THIS.
ELIZABETH CLAY SCHOFIELD.
BORN 1837.
DIED 1883.
Hunter: DANIEL CLAY SCHOFIELD.
SON OF MARY ELIZABETH.
BORN 1843.
HE GAVE HIS LIFE
FOR THE NOBLE CAUSE
OF THE CONFEDERACY, 1862.
HEY, COME HERE.
OUR BELOVED BABY
LaVONNE SCHOFIELD.
BORN MAY 2, 1960.
DIED JULY 18, 1960.
ISN'T THAT THE DATE THAT
WAS ON HER BIRTH CERTIFICATE?
YEAH. THAT'S HER.
LOOK AT MY DESK.
EVERY TIME I LEAVE
AND I COME BACK,
SOMEONE'S ALWAYS
MONKEYING WITH MY DESK.
LOOK AT THIS!
DORIS? HUNTER.
IS COSLIN BACK AT HIS DESK YET?
OK, UH, DO ME A FAVOR.
TELL HIM AS SOON AS HE GETS IN
THAT I'M WAITING TO TALK TO HIM.
OK? WELL, YOU MIGHT SAY
I HAVE SOME THINGS TO
TALK TO HIM ABOUT. YEAH.
THANK YOU, HON. BYE.
Charlie: SO, LaVONNE SCHOFIELD
TURNS OUT TO BE A FRAUD, HUH?
Hunter: QUITE PROFESSIONAL
AT THAT, CHARLIE.
LaVONNE SCHOFIELD DIED
WHEN SHE WAS 2 MONTHS OLD.
HER MOTHER DIED IN CHILDBIRTH,
AND THE BABY WENT TO GO
LIVE WITH THE GRANDPARENTS.
AFTER THE BABY'S DEATH,
THE GRANDPARENTS
LIVED A SHORT TIME MORE,
AND THEN, AFTER THAT,
THAT ENDED THE FAMILY LINE.
SO A COUPLE YEARS AGO,
SOMEBODY GETS A COPY OF
LaVONNE'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE
FROM THE PRUIT
COUNTY SEAT, AND BINGO!
LaVONNE SCHOFIELD
LIVES AGAIN. VERY NEAT.
HEY, HUNTER.
SYBIL TAYLOR RETURNED YOUR CALL.
SAYS SHE WANTS YOU TO CALL
HER AT HER OFFICE OR GO SEE HER.
THAT'S WHERE SHE
IS. THANKS, BUDGE.
LISTEN, I THINK YOU'RE
ONTO SOMETHING BIG.
HAVE YOU CHECKED WITH THE FBI?
YEAH, WE GAVE THEM
THE INFORMATION.
THEY'RE GOING TO GET BACK TO
US AS SOON AS THEY FIND ANYTHING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS
IS, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY WEIRD.
KEEP ME POSTED, HMM? GOT IT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
SHE WASN'T WHO SHE SAID SHE WAS?
THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE
I FOUND IN THAT
DESK THE OTHER DAY
BELONGED TO A LaVONNE SCHOFIELD
OF PRUITVILLE, TEXAS.
NOW, SHE WAS BORN MAY 2, 1960.
SHE ALSO DIED
2 MONTHS AFTER THAT BIRTHDAY.
THE GIRL WHO
OCCUPIED THAT DESK...
WE DON'T KNOW WHO SHE IS
OR WHERE SHE CAME FROM.
I FIND THIS VERY
HARD TO BELIEVE.
McCall: WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
TELL YOU IS THAT GIRL IS A FRAUD.
NOW, IS THERE ANYTHING,
ANYTHING AT ALL
THAT YOU CAN TELL US
THAT WOULD HELP US TO
DETERMINE WHO SHE REALLY WAS?
WELL, THERE IS ONE THING
I DIDN'T TELL Y'ALL ABOUT.
BUT SHE MADE ME PROMISE
NEVER TO TELL ANYBODY.
SHE HAD THIS BOYFRIEND.
UM, I SAW THEM TOGETHER ONCE.
AND WHEN I MENTIONED
IT TO HER LATER,
SHE TOLD ME TO
FORGET I EVER SAW HIM.
WHEN WAS THIS?
A MONTH AGO.
DID SHE TELL YOU HIS NAME?
NO. SHE DIDN'T WANT
TO TALK ABOUT IT.
I FIGURED HE WAS
MARRIED OR SOMETHING.
Hunter: WELL, WHAT
DID HE LOOK LIKE?
HE WAS GOOD LOOKING.
HE WAS TALL, DARK HAIR.
LISTEN, WOULD YOU DO US A FAVOR
AND COME DOWN TO
THE STATION RIGHT NOW?
Man: OK, NOW HOW ABOUT THIS?
YEAH.
THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM.
JUST LIKE HIM.
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
WELL, IT LOOKS JUST
LIKE I REMEMBER HIM.
HOLD ON.
HOLD... BEAR WITH ME.
YEAH.
THAT THE GUY?
THAT'S HIM!
THAT'S HIM.
YOU FOLKS KNOW HIM OR SOMETHING?
YEAH. OK.
WELL, LET ME KNOW
IF YOU FIND HIM.
NO ONE'S SEEN HIM TODAY.
THEY CALLED HIS HOME.
THERE'S NO ANSWER.
ARE YOU SURE COSLIN
CAME TO YOUR HOUSE
THE SAME NIGHT THIS
SCHOFIELD WOMAN
OR WHATEVER THE HELL
HER NAME IS WAS MURDERED?
CHARLIE, COSLIN
SHOWED UP AT MY HOUSE
2:00 IN THE MORNING,
MONDAY NIGHT.
NOW, BARNEY PUTS
THE DEATH OF THE GIRL
AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME.
GO TO HIS HOUSE.
IF HE ISN'T THERE, WAIT FOR HIM.
YOU GOT IT.
PHONE IN THE PLATE.
COSLIN!
RILEY!
THE PROPERTY'S CLEAR.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
LET'S GET A PRINT
TEAM DOWN HERE, TOO.
AND THEN LET'S GET
BACK TO THE STATION.
I GOT A REAL GOOD LOOK AT THAT
GUY, AND I DON'T WANT TO FORGET HIM.
McCall: YEAH, THAT
WAS A LITTLE FULLER.
UMM...
EYES WERE A LITTLE
CLOSER TOGETHER.
HERE'S THE REPORT
ON THOSE PRINTS.
GREAT, BUDGE. THANKS.
YEAH.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
4 GUYS WITHOUT GLOVES
RIPPED THAT PLACE APART,
AND THEY DON'T HAVE A RECORD
ON THE PRINTS? THAT'S CRAZY!
HUNTER.
McCALL.
DIED SOME TIME LAST NIGHT.
GUNSHOT TO THE HEART.
COME ON. GET OUT OF THERE.
YOU HAVE 5 SECONDS TO
TELL ME WHY YOU'RE TAILING ME.
I'M NOT AT LIBERTY TO
DISCUSS THIS MATTER WITH YOU.
ALL RIGHT. WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?
MAY I?
SURE.
I'M NOT AT LIBERTY TO
DISCUSS THIS MATTER.
THAT FIGURES.
PARDON ME, SIGNOR.
DO YOU HAVE A RESERVATION?
NO, I DON'T. I'LL
ONLY BE A MOMENT.
HIYA, BRAD.
SURPRISED TO SEE ME?
NOT REALLY.
WHAT'S IT BEEN NOW,
A YEAR SINCE I GAVE
YOU THE ZUKOFF CASE?
WHY DON'T WE TALK ABOUT
THIS TOMORROW AT MY OFFICE?
I HAVE A FRIEND OF YOURS
OUT IN THE BACK OF MY CAR...
A SPECIAL AGENT BRELSFORD.
EXCUSE ME, GENTLEMEN.
YOU'RE HAVING ME FOLLOWED, BRAD.
I WANT TO KNOW WHY.
BECAUSE YOU'RE INVOLVED
WITH A CASE WE'RE INVOLVED IN,
AND I DON'T WANT YOU
INVOLVED. LaVONNE SCHOFIELD?
THAT'S A MURDER CASE! I
GET PAID TO SOLVE THOSE.
WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON IS A
HELL OF A LOT MORE IMPORTANT
THAN YOUR HOMICIDE
CASE. I WANT YOU OUT OF IT.
THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
YOU BETTER COME WITH ME.
WHAT'S THIS LOOK
LIKE TO YOU, SERGEANT?
OH, I DON'T KNOW.
GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT?
AMHERST, MASSACHUSETTS?
YOU TELL ME.
NEVESGRAAD.
UKRAINE. SOVIET UNION.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT HERE?
THERE'S A HOT DOG STAND
WITH A CHEVY OUT FRONT.
MM-HMM.
THOSE PICTURES
WERE TAKEN IN 1968
BY ONE OF OUR
RUSSIAN OPERATIVES.
THEY'RE THE FIRST AND LAST PICTURES
TO EVER COME OUT OF THE SOVIET UNION
OF A POTEMKIN VILLAGE.
A WHAT?
POTEMKIN VILLAGE!
CAREFULLY SELECTED
RUSSIAN YOUTHS
ARE SENT IN THEIR
TEENS TO VILLAGES
THAT LOOK JUST LIKE
SMALL TOWN AMERICA.
THEY STAY THERE. THEY LEARN TO
SPEAK ENGLISH WITH THE RIGHT ACCENT.
THEY WATCH AMERICAN TV.
THEY READ AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS.
THEY ARE COMMITTED,
INDOCTRINATED
COMMUNIST PARTY CADRES
WHO END UP LOOKING
LIKE THE QUINTESSENTIAL,
RED-BLOODED AMERICAN.
SOME OF THESE VILLAGES
LOOK LIKE NEW ENGLAND.
SOME OF THEM LOOK LIKE MONTANA.
SOME OF THEM LOOK
LIKE PRUITVILLE, TEXAS!
LaVONNE CALLED US LAST WEEK.
SHE WANTED TO DEFECT.
SHE FELL IN LOVE
WITH AN AMERICAN,
BUT SHE WAS AFRAID BECAUSE
HER FAMILY, HER 2 BROTHERS...
THEY WERE STILL
IN THE SOVIET UNION.
SHE ASKED US IF WE
WOULD SET UP A MEETING
FOR HER IN A SAFE PLACE.
WE ARRANGED IT.
SHE NEVER SHOWED.
YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHY SHE DIDN'T SHOW UP?
Brad: WHY?
BECAUSE SHE FELL IN
LOVE WITH A POLICE OFFICER,
A FELLOW POLICE OFFICER
BY THE NAME OF RILEY COSLIN.
NOW HE'S DEAD.
NOW, COME ON. WHAT THE HELL IS
GOING ON OVER AT PACIFIC INDUSTRIES
THAT I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT?
WHAT ARE THE RUSSIANS
DOING OVER THERE?
I'M SORRY. I CANNOT RISK HAVING
YOU INVOLVED WITH THIS OPERATION.
BUT I AM INVOLVED IN THIS!
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
I MEAN, COME ON. I AM INVOLVED.
I'VE GOT A PHOTOGRAPH,
A SKETCH OF A MAN...
ONE OF THE MEN THAT
RANSACKED RILEY COSLIN'S HOUSE.
NOW, YOU WANT TO SEE THAT?
SURE.
LET'S GO SEE YOUR SKETCH.
Hunter: YOU KNOW HIM?
YEAH, I KNOW HIM.
HE'S IGOR WELACHEVSKI.
HE WAS LaVONNE'S
IMMEDIATE SUPERIOR.
WE DON'T WANT HIM.
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO PIN LaVONNE'S
MURDER HERE ON HIM AS WELL AS COSLIN'S,
BUT HE'S NOT THE MAN WE
WANT. WE WANT HIS BOSS!
HE'S MIDDLE LEVEL.
WE'RE NEVER GOING TO GET HIS
BOSS IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ME.
I WANT YOUR MEN OFF THIS CASE.
LOOK, I KNOW HOW
YOU FEEL ABOUT COSLIN,
BUT HE'S GOT A POINT,
NOT TO MENTION POLITICAL CLOUT.
LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING, CHARLIE.
THE LAST TIME THAT GUY
SAID I INTERFERED IN HIS CASE,
I ENDED UP HANDING IT TO HIM.
I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT
THE CASE, HUNTER.
I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
I'VE ALREADY LOST
ONE MAN TO THIS THING.
I DON'T WANT TO
LOSE ANOTHER ONE.
I WANT TO TALK TO
YOU ABOUT THAT.
Man, Russian accent: DON'T
MOVE, SERGEANT HUNTER.
NOW TURN AROUND SLOWLY,
YOUR HANDS AT YOUR SIDES.
YOU'RE COMING WITH US.
TERRIFIC.
I HAVE ONLY ONE QUESTION
TO ASK YOU, SERGEANT.
WHERE'S THE KEY?
DR. SHAPIRO, IT'S
REALLY GOOD TO SEE YOU.
WHERE IS THE KEY?
WHAT KEY?
I HOPE YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO TRY TO BE HEROIC
LIKE YOUR FRIEND
DETECTIVE COSLIN.
BUT THEN, LOVE
MAKES FOOLS OF US ALL,
DOESN'T IT, SERGEANT?
COSLIN WAS NO FOOL, DR. SHAPIRO.
OTHERWISE, YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE.
I'M HERE BECAUSE
HE LED MY ASSOCIATES
ON A GOOSE CHASE
AND PAID WITH HIS LIFE.
NOW YOU HAVE THE
INFORMATION I NEED,
AND I WILL GET IT FROM YOU.
NOW TELL ME WHERE THE KEY IS.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WHAT MAKES YOU AND THESE IDIOTS
THINK YOU CAN PUT THAT ON ME?
YOU NEEDN'T STRUGGLE, SERGEANT.
IT'LL DO YOU NO GOOD.
HEY, LOOK.
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT YOUR KEY, OK?
YOU COULD SAVE YOURSELF A
GREAT DEAL OF PAIN, SERGEANT.
COSLIN NEVER SAID
ANYTHING ABOUT A KEY.
LOOK. THIS THING
DIDN'T WORK ON LaVONNE.
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
IT'S GOING TO WORK ON ME?
LaVONNE WAS VERY WELL TRAINED.
TRAINED TO WITHSTAND PENTOTHAL
AND A GREAT DEAL OF PAIN.
Officer: POLICE! FREEZE!
Officer: THROW DOWN
YOUR WEAPONS!
Officer: FREEZE!
DROP YOUR WEAPONS!
COME OUT WITH YOUR
HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD!
THERE'S DR. SHAPIRO OVER THERE.
THAT'S THE GUY THAT
WILKES WAS AFTER.
COSLIN APPARENTLY
HID A KEY AT MY HOUSE.
WE'VE GOT TO SEND SOMEONE
OVER THERE TO FIND IT.
SEND A SEARCH TEAM OVER
TO HUNTER'S ON THE DOUBLE!
I'LL MEET YOU THERE.
AND WHERE WERE YOU GUYS?
HOW COME YOU TOOK SO LONG?
THAT GUY COULD HAVE
POACHED ME WITH THAT THING.
YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN GIVING THIS AN
AWFUL LOT OF THOUGHT, SERGEANT.
AND WHAT I THINK THEY NEED
IS A SHORTER QUARTERBACK.
YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T KNOW
THE FIRST THING ABOUT FOOTBALL.
WHEN'S THE LAST TIME
YOU EVEN SAW A GAME?
Man: HUNTER!
McCALL!
GOT A VISITOR.
HIYA, BRAD.
HI. HOW ARE YOU?
JUST CAME BY BECAUSE
I WANTED TO THANK YOU
FOR ALL YOUR HELP.
OH. WELL, YOU'RE WELCOME.
WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH SHAPIRO?
WELL, HE'S THE MAN, ALL RIGHT.
HE'S NOT TALKING,
BUT HE'S THE MAN.
THAT KEY THAT WE
FOUND AT YOUR HOUSE
IS TO A SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX.
IT HAD ALL THIS INFORMATION
ABOUT THE POTEMKIN
VILLAGE OPERATION
AS WELL AS SHAPIRO'S
INVOLVEMENT IN IT.
MMM.
I, UH...
WELL, I JUST KNOW THAT NEXT TIME
I WON'T SELL YOU GUYS SO SHORT.
WELL, WE APPRECIATE
THAT, DON'T WE?
THANKS, BRAD.
YEAH.
I LEARNED SOMETHING ELSE, TOO.
WHAT'S THAT?
WELL, IT'S JUST THAT BOTH OF US,
OUR SIDE AND THEIRS,
WE PUT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
AND THOUSANDS OF LIFETIMES
INTO THESE CAREFULLY
PLANNED OPERATIONS,
AND WE JUST SEE
THEM CRASHING DOWN
BECAUSE WE FORGET A
HUMAN BEING'S INVOLVED.
YEAH.
YOU THINK MAYBE WE COULD,
UH, INVITE BRAD TO LUNCH?
YEAH. WHAT DO YOU
SAY? WANT TO JOIN US?
YEAH. SURE, IF YOU
LET ME PICK UP THE TAB.
MY AGENCY'S BUDGET IS A HELL
OF A LOT BIGGER THAN YOURS.
CERTAINLY. YEAH.
NOW, WHAT IS THE NAME
OF THAT AGENCY AGAIN?
I KEEP FORGETTING.
OH, THAT'S BECAUSE I KEEP
DECLINING TO TELL YOU.
GET IN THE BACKSEAT, BRAD.
RIGHT. IN THE BACK. GOOD.
