Hunter (1984–1991): Season 3, Episode 19 - Crossfire - full transcript
McCall fears that Hunter's temper will outweigh his judgement when his former girlfriend is murdered and Hunter thinks he knows the identity of the killer.
HEY, I'VE GOT YOUR GUITAR!
DO WE TALK, OR DO
I TRASH THIS THING?
THE D.A. WANTS ONE
OF YOU TO TESTIFY
IN THE GIULIANO CASE.
WHO'S IT GOING TO BE?
HUNTER. McCALL.
YOU KNOW, YOU'D MAKE
A PRETTY GOOD COP.
BUT YOU'D MAKE A
LOUSY SHOW GIRL.
Woman: HELP! HE'S
TRYING TO KILL ME!
NOW, RICK, YOU KNOW I WANT KIDS.
YEAH.
SERGEANT McCALL, YOU
MAY BE THE FIRST MOTHER
STANDING BY AT THE
DELIVERY OF HER OWN BABY.
OH! LOOKIT. LOOK AT THAT.
IS SHE BEAUTIFUL?
HAVE A NICE DAY. BYE.
YEAH?
Man: EDNA WATLEY?
YEAH. WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I HAVE A PACKAGE FOR YOU.
I'M JUST GETTING INTO
THE TUB. I CAN'T NOW.
JUST LEAVE IT THERE.
OUTSIDE THE DOOR?
NO, NO. INSIDE THE
COURTYARD. I'LL BUZZ YOU IN.
YES? WHAT IS IT?
WE HAVE A PLUMBING
PROBLEM, MS. PALEVSKY.
MR. WARREN WANTS ME
TO CHECK YOUR BATHROOM.
OK. JUST A MINUTE.
BILLY, WHAT DO YOU GOT?
THE VICTIM WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD
AT CLOSE RANGE
WITH A SMALL CALIBER HANDGUN,
PROBABLY A .22.
SHE'S ALIVE, BUT BARELY,
AND SHE LOOKS TO ME TO BE
6 OR 7 MONTHS PREGNANT.
OH, MY GOD.
WELL... WHAT DO WE GOT IN
THE WAY OF EVIDENCE HERE?
WELL, ACCORDING TO
THIS NEW YORK STATE
DRIVER'S LICENSE,
SHE'S IRENE PALEVSKY,
21, FROM BUFFALO.
ANY EVIDENCE OF ROBBERY?
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT.
THEY DIDN'T EVEN
BOTHER TO COME IN.
JUST SHOT HER RIGHT THERE
IN THE DOORWAY.
HOW LONG AGO DO
YOU THINK THAT WAS?
NEIGHBOR EDNA WATLEY FOUND HER.
SHE PUT IN THE CALL TO US
AT ABOUT 4:27.
Woman: EDNA! EDNA! EDNA!
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHAT HAPPENED? EDNA!
MA'AM.
THANK YOU.
MS. WATLEY?
I'M SERGEANT HUNTER.
I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE THE ONE
THAT DISCOVERED
MS. PALEVSKY'S BODY.
YEAH. I LIVE RIGHT
NEXT DOOR TO HER.
POOR BABY. I TELL YOU,
I DON'T UNDERSTAND NONE OF THIS.
WHO'D WANT TO HURT
THAT SWEET CHILD?
NOW, WHEN YOU
HEARD THE GUNSHOTS...
I DIDN'T HEAR NO SHOT.
I WENT OUT TO THE LOBBY
TO PICK UP A PACKAGE
SUPPOSED TO BE
LEFT THERE FOR ME,
ONLY THERE WASN'T NOTHING THERE.
AND WHEN I COME BACK, I
SEEN IRENE'S DOOR OPEN
AND HER... JUST LAYING THERE.
NOW, ARE YOU SURE
YOU DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING
THAT SOUNDED LIKE
A CAR BACKFIRING?
LOOK, THERE AIN'T NOTHING WRONG
WITH MY EARS. I'M TELLING YOU,
I DIDN'T HEAR NO SHOT.
AND MY TV WASN'T ON, NEITHER.
NOW, YOU SAY YOU WENT
DOWN FOR A PACKAGE.
YEAH. IT COME WHEN
I WAS TAKING A BATH,
SO I TOLD THE GUY
TO JUST LEAVE IT IN THE LOBBY,
ONLY IT WASN'T THERE
WHEN I WENT OUT THERE.
YOU TALKED TO HIM
ON THE INTERCOM?
YEAH, WHEN I BUZZED HIM IN.
WHAT TIME WAS THAT?
OH... LET'S SEE.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN ABOUT 4:00.
YEAH, 'CAUSE I DIDN'T
GO TAKE MY BATH
UNTIL AFTER YOUR LUCKY DAY
WAS OVER WITH, AND...
YOUR LUCKY DAY?
YEAH. THE GAME
SHOW YOUR LUCKY DAY.
YOU COULD WIN DINETTES AND...
I THOUGHT YOU SAID
YOUR TELEVISION
WASN'T ON, THOUGH.
WELL, I ALWAYS TURN IT OFF
WHEN MY PROGRAM GOES OFF.
OH, YEAH.
NOW, WHAT ABOUT IRENE'S FRIENDS?
TELL ME ABOUT THEM.
WELL, SHE'S ONLY BEEN HERE
A COUPLE MONTHS.
SHE DIDN'T HAVE NO FRIENDS
EXCEPT FOR ME AND SISTER NORA
OVER AT ST. AGNES'
HALL, YOU KNOW?
THEY WAS HELPING
HER WITH THE BABY.
YEAH.
WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO
HAVE SISTER NORA'S ADDRESS
AND PHONE NUMBER?
OH, SURE, I DO.
IRENE GIVE IT TO
ME IN CASE OF...
EMERGENCY.
IT'S IN MY APARTMENT.
Hunter: ANYBODY YOU
TALK TO HEAR GUNSHOTS?
NOBODY.
MUST HAVE BEEN A SILENCER.
THAT'D MAKE IT A
PROFESSIONAL HIT.
THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
SHE'S JUST A KID.
IT SURE DOESN'T.
LET'S GO FIND OUT WHY.
I'M GOING TO GO
OVER TO THE HOSPITAL.
I'LL DROP YOU OFF
AT SISTER NORA'S.
SHE'S MORE YOUR TYPE.
Woman: FORGIVE THE
EMOTIONAL DISPLAY,
BUT I... I STILL FIND IT
DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT.
DEAR LORD, THAT CHILD WAS
SUCH A GENTLE CREATURE.
WHO WOULD POSSIBLY
WISH HER ANY HARM?
ARE YOU SURE IT
WASN'T A ROBBERY?
IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE.
SISTER NORA, I NEED
FOR YOU TO TELL ME
ANYTHING YOU CAN ABOUT IRENE.
THAT'S VERY LITTLE, I'M AFRAID.
THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING WE OFFER THESE GIRLS
IS CONFIDENTIALITY.
THE ONLY REASON WE ASK THEM
FOR THEIR BIRTH CERTIFICATE
OR DRIVER'S LICENSE
IS WE'RE REQUIRED TO BY LAW
TO BE SURE THEY AREN'T MINORS.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE FATHER
OF IRENE'S BABY?
DID SHE HAVE ANY
CONTACT WITH HIM?
NO.
HE WAS BACK HOME,
NOT HERE IN LOS ANGELES.
SHE DIDN'T EVEN TELL
HIM SHE WAS PREGNANT.
BACK HOME. YOU MEAN IN BUFFALO?
WHY, YES. THAT'S
WHERE HER FAMILY IS.
DO YOU KNOW IF SHE TRIED
TO CONTACT THE FAMILY THERE?
WELL, I TRIED TO PERSUADE HER
TO TELL THEM THE TRUTH,
BUT SHE WOULDN'T HEAR OF IT.
THE THOUGHT OF THEIR
FINDING OUT SHE WAS PREGNANT
SIMPLY TERRIFIED IRENE.
SO... SHE INVENTED A STORY
THAT SHE WAS TRAVELING IN CANADA
AS AN EXCHANGE STUDENT,
AND SHE'D CALL THEM
EVERY 10 DAYS OR SO
FROM CANADA.
DID YOU EVER TRY
TO CALL THE PARENTS?
OH, GOOD HEAVENS, NO.
THAT WOULD BE VIOLATING
AN IRREVOCABLE TRUST.
IF WE DIDN'T OFFER THAT,
MANY OF THESE GIRLS
WOULD OPT FOR ABORTION.
BUT PALEVSKY IS
HARDLY A COMMON NAME.
I'M SURE IF YOU CALL
BUFFALO INFORMATION...
YEAH. YEAH.
WELL, THANK YOU.
HELLO?
McCall: IS THIS MRS. PALEVSKY?
YES.
YES. WHO IS THIS?
MY NAME IS DEE DEE McCALL.
I'M WITH THE METRO
POLICE IN LOS ANGELES.
UH...
MRS. PALEVSKY, DO YOU HAVE
A DAUGHTER NAMED IRENE?
YES.
THE BULLET ENTERED
THE FRONTAL LOBE,
CAUSING MASSIVE BRAIN DAMAGE
BEFORE LODGING THERE.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
IS IRENE GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT?
MRS. PALEVSKY,
THE REASON I ASKED TO SEE YOU
BEFORE YOU SAW YOUR DAUGHTER
IS THAT WHEN SHE ARRIVED
AT THE HOSPITAL,
SHE WAS BRAIN-DEAD.
HER CONDITION IS IRREVERSIBLE.
I'M SORRY. THERE WAS
NOTHING WE COULD DO.
I WANT TO SEE MY DAUGHTER.
THAT'S NOT MY DAUGHTER!
IT'S NOT IRENE.
TAKE ANOTHER
LOOK, MRS. PALEVSKY.
BE ABSOLUTELY SURE.
I DON'T HAVE TO. I
KNOW MY DAUGHTER.
THIS ISN'T HER.
I'LL SEND YOU A
PICTURE. THEN YOU'LL SEE.
I'M VERY SORRY
ABOUT THIS POOR GIRL,
BUT SHE'S NOT MY DAUGHTER.
IRENE LEFT HOME
AFTER HER FATHER
DIED 3 YEARS AGO.
SHE SAID SHE WAS
GOING TO GET MONEY
AND SEND SOME TO ME,
BUT... I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
NO LETTERS. SHE DIDN'T CALL.
SHE WAS ALWAYS GOING
TO DO SOMETHING BIG.
NOTHING EVER WORKED OUT FOR HER.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU SAW HER, MRS. PALEVSKY?
6 MONTHS AGO.
I CAME HOME,
AND THERE'S IRENE ON THE STOOP
WAITING FOR ME.
HOW LONG DID SHE STAY?
2 MONTHS.
SHE WAS VERY DISTANT.
I COULDN'T GET
HER TO TALK TO ME.
AND THEN ONE DAY,
I CAME HOME, AND SHE'D
CUT OFF ALL HER HAIR.
I MEAN, ALL OF IT. TO HERE.
SHE'D ALWAYS BEEN
SO PROUD OF HER HAIR.
I WAS VERY UPSET ABOUT THAT.
THE NEXT MORNING,
SHE WAS... SHE WAS GONE.
DID SHE LEAVE A
NUMBER OR AN ADDRESS
WHERE YOU COULD REACH HER?
NOTHING.
READY, SERGEANT.
MS. PALEVSKY, THIS
IS OFFICER GARRETT.
HE'S GOING TO TAKE
YOU TO THE AIRPORT.
WE'RE VERY SORRY
TO HAVE TO PUT YOU
THROUGH ALL THIS.
OH, IT'S OK.
BELIEVE ME, IT'S OK.
AND WE'LL KEEP YOU
POSTED UNTIL WE FIND IRENE.
YOU'LL LOOK FOR HER?
OH, YES. WE'VE GOT
TO FIND HER FAST.
YOU THINK THAT SOMEBODY
WANTS TO KILL IRENE.
WELL, THERE'S A GOOD
POSSIBILITY OF THAT, YES.
BE SURE TO SEND US THAT PICTURE.
IT'LL HELP.
I'LL SEND IT AS
SOON AS I GET HOME.
HAVE A NICE FLIGHT.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE'D BETTER FIND THAT GIRL FAST.
WHOEVER PUT THE HIT ON
HER IS GOING TO TRY AGAIN
AS SOON AS THEY FIGURE OUT
THEY KILLED THE WRONG GIRL.
GOOD MORNING, McCALL.
GOOD MORNING, HUNTER.
HOW ARE YOU, CHARLIE?
GLAD TO SEE YOU LOOKING SO HAPPY
AND RELAXED THIS MORNING
BECAUSE I GOT SOME
DEPRESSING NEWS FOR YOU.
THE D.A. WANTS ONE
OF YOU TO TESTIFY
IN THE GIULIANO CASE.
WHO'S IT GOING TO BE?
HUNTER. McCALL.
YOU WORK IT OUT.
WHOEVER IT IS, IN MY
OFFICE IN 10 MINUTES.
NO. WAIT.
I WANT THIS CASE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO FLIP FOR IT?
NO.
LET ME HAVE THIS CASE, OK?
THERE'S SOMETHING,
UH, SOMETHING ABOUT IT
WITH THE GIRL AND THE BABY
AND EVERYTHING. JUST... I
WANT THE CASE, ALL RIGHT?
SURE. THANKS.
YEAH. I'LL, UH,
I'LL MAKE CHARLIE
WAIT 10 MINUTES,
AND THEN I'LL GO TELL HIM.
McCall: THIS ONE'S IN I.C.U.
WITH A BULLET IN HER BRAIN.
PREGNANT JANE DOE. SHE
WAS HIDING FROM HER PARENTS
USING THIS ONE'S I.D.,
ONE IRENE PALEVSKY.
AND THIS PICTURE IS
ABOUT 3 YEARS OLD.
HER HAIR'S CUT A
LOT SHORTER NOW.
WE THINK SHE MIGHT
HAVE BEEN THE TARGET
FOR THE BULLET
THAT JANE DOE TOOK.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN?
YOU MEAN YOU'RE JUST GUESSING?
WELL, IT'S ONE OF THE
THINGS I DO BEST, MIKE.
BY THE WAY, WE DREW A BLANK
ON JANE DOE'S FINGERPRINTS.
SHE DIDN'T HAVE A CAR, SO SHE
PROBABLY NEVER HAD ANY TAKEN.
YOU LOVE TO COMPLICATE
MY LIFE, DON'T YOU?
COMPLICATE IT? WHAT? I
GOT YOU THE DENTAL HISTORY
ON JANE DOE. LOOK AT THAT.
THERE'S 3 FILLINGS, ONE
IMPACTED WISDOM TOOTH,
AND I HAVE FOR YOU HERE
EVERYTHING THAT WE
HAVE ON IRENE PALEVSKY.
IT'S NOT GREAT,
BUT IT'S NOT BAD
UNDER JANE DOE, I MEAN.
AND IF SOMEBODY HAS FILED
A MISSING PERSON'S
REPORT ON HER,
WELL, I CAN PROBABLY
GET YOU SOMETHING
FROM THE COMPUTER
IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.
WELL, I DON'T THINK...
YOU'RE GOING TO FIND
ANYTHING IN THE COMPUTER.
NOW WHAT?
THE GIRL TOLD HER FAMILY
SHE WAS TRAVELING WITH A
GROUP OF STUDENTS IN CANADA,
SO THEY DON'T THINK
OF HER AS MISSING.
SO THERE'S NO REPORT.
HAVE YOU GOT ANY CONCEPTION
WHAT IT'S GONNA BE
LIKE TO TRY TO FIND
THIS GIRL'S FAMILY?
I MEAN, JUST USING THIS STUFF?
LOOK AT THIS GIRL'S FACE.
I WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE HER
IF SHE WAS MY DAUGHTER.
AND FOR HER DENTAL X-RAYS...
THEY'RE NOT GONNA MEAN NOTHING
UNTIL SOMEBODY
STARTS LOOKING FOR HER.
WELL, CONCENTRATE ON IRENE.
MAYBE SHE KNOWS
WHO THIS JANE DOE IS.
PUT A PICTURE IN THE PAPER.
MAYBE A LITTLE LOCAL NEWS
COVERAGE IS ALL WE NEED.
YEAH. YOU KNOW, THAT'S
ALL YOU EVER GIVE ME
IS A BUNCH OF MIGHTS AND MAYBES.
WELL, THAT'S WHY
WE COME TO YOU, MIKE.
'CAUSE YOU'RE THE EXPERT
ON MIGHTS AND MAYBES.
REALLY? YEAH.
OK.
DO ME A FAVOR. CUT
OUT THIS COFFEE.
IT'S MAKING YOU NERVOUS.
MMM. YEAH. TOO MUCH CAFFEINE.
WHAT DO YOU PUT IN HERE, ANYWAY?
SERGEANT, I APPRECIATE
YOUR CONCERN,
BUT THE HOSPITAL ETHICS
COMMITTEE MET THIS MORNING.
NOW, IF SOMEONE DOESN'T
COME FORWARD SOON
TO CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY,
ADMINISTRATION WILL
HAVE TO ASK THE COURT
TO APPOINT A GUARDIAN.
IT'LL BE UP TO THE GUARDIAN
TO DECIDE IF AND WHEN
LIFE SUPPORT WILL
BE DISCONTINUED.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
ARE YOU SAYING
THAT SOME STRANGER
IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO
DECIDE THE FATE OF THE BABY
THAT'S INSIDE THAT GIRL?
THE HOSPITAL CAN'T
ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY
INDEFINITELY.
IF YOU CAN'T FIND OUT
WHO YOUR JANE DOE IS,
WE'LL PROBABLY BE INSTRUCTED
TO TURN OFF LIFE SUPPORT.
IN THE MEANTIME, WE'RE
DOING ULTRASOUND TESTS
AND WE'RE MONITORING
THE HEARTBEAT,
JUST IN CASE.
WHAT ABOUT AMNIOCENTESIS?
THE RESULTS OF THAT TEST
WON'T BE IN FOR 10 DAYS.
PRELIMINARY FINDINGS
SHOW THE LUNGS AREN'T DEVELOPED
AND THERE'S A HOLE IN THE HEART.
ARE YOU SAYING THE
BABY CAN'T MAKE IT?
NO. IT'S NOT UNCOMMON
FOR A 27-WEEK FETUS
TO HAVE A HOLE IN ITS HEART.
UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES,
IT WOULD USUALLY CLOSE
JUST BEFORE OR AFTER BIRTH,
BUT NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES
DON'T PREVAIL IN THIS CASE.
SO, WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME IS,
IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T COME
FORWARD TO CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY HERE,
SOME COURT-APPOINTED GUARDIAN
IS GOING TO BE ABLE
TO PULL THE PLUG?
ALL RIGHT. EASY, SERGEANT.
TAKE IT EASY.
JUST HOW LONG WE CAN KEEP
JANE DOE'S BODY FUNCTIONING
IS AN UNKNOWN,
AND IT DOESN'T LOOK
VERY PROMISING.
HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE
FOR THE COURT TO
APPOINT THIS GUARDIAN?
SOME TIME TOMORROW.
DAY AFTER AT THE LATEST.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
SOONER OR LATER,
HER PARENTS WILL
REALIZE SHE'S MISSING
AND THEY'LL CALL THE POLICE,
BUT THAT MIGHT TAKE
DAYS, EVEN WEEKS.
I UNDERSTAND THE
HOSPITAL'S POINT OF VIEW.
IT COSTS A MINT OF MONEY
TO KEEP SOMEONE ON LIFE SUPPORT,
NOT TO MENTION DELIVERING A BABY
THAT MIGHT HAVE ITS
OWN MEDICAL PROBLEMS.
DEE DEE, THE HOSPITAL IS NOT
A CHARITABLE INSTITUTION,
NOR IS IT AN ADOPTION AGENCY.
WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT A CHILD HERE!
I THINK I KNOW THAT.
NOW RELAX. TAKE IT EASY.
I HAPPEN TO AGREE WITH YOU.
I HAPPEN TO BELIEVE
THAT YOUR JANE DOE'S PARENTS
PROBABLY WILL SHOW UP SOON.
SO... I'M GRANTING YOU
YOUR 72-HOUR INJUNCTION.
WOO WOO!
THANK YOU!
WHICH MEANS, BY THE WAY,
THE COUNTY IS FOOTING
THE BILL FOR THE 3 DAYS,
SO PLEASE, DON'T LET ME DOWN.
I WON'T.
DR. LYNCH TO RADIOLOGY.
DR. LYNCH TO RADIOLOGY.
DR. PROPER, 3 NORTH.
DR. PROPER, 3 NORTH.
WHAT'S ALL THIS?
READ IT.
IT'S A RESTRAINING ORDER
THAT PREVENTS THE HOSPITAL
FROM TAKING
INSTRUCTIONS FROM ANYONE
TO PULL THE PLUG ON JANE
DOE'S LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM
FOR AN ADDITIONAL 3 DAYS.
GOOD FOR YOU, SERGEANT.
SIT DOWN.
HAVE A STEAK.
SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH,
THEY'RE VERY GOOD HERE.
THAT'S NOT THE REACTION
YOU EXPECTED, HUH?
DID YOU THINK I WAS DROOLING
TO PULL THE PLUG ON
JANE DOE AND HER BABY?
WELL...
NO. I, UH...
I JUST THOUGHT YOU
WEREN'T VERY CONCERNED.
DO POLICE OFFICERS
INDULGE THEIR EMOTIONS
ON THEIR CASES?
NO.
ACTUALLY, WE HAVE TO
KEEP A CERTAIN DISTANCE.
BUT YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO ASSUME
THAT DOCTORS DO, TOO?
YOU KNOW, SERGEANT,
EVERYTHING I'VE DONE
SINCE I WAS 18 YEARS OLD,
I'VE DONE BECAUSE I
WANTED TO SAVE LIVES,
PRESERVE THEM WITH
DIGNITY AND COMFORT.
ALL MY INSTINCTS
MAKE ME WANT TO
DELIVER THAT CHILD
AND HAND HER OVER
TO SOMEONE WHO WILL LOVE HER
AND TAKE CARE OF HER.
BOY, I FEEL PRETTY STUPID.
GOOD. I WANT YOU TO.
YOU WANT SOME COFFEE?
UH, YEAH. THANK YOU.
I'M VERY SORRY.
I THOUGHT THAT...
YOU WERE RATHER
COLD AND CALLOUS,
AND I WAS VERY WRONG.
I'M SORRY.
YOU KNOW, WHEN I
STARTED IN MEDICINE
20 YEARS AGO,
THE WORLD WAS A LOT SIMPLER.
LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS
WERE PRIMITIVE,
AND ALL THESE COMPLEX
ETHICAL QUESTIONS
HADN'T BEEN ASKED YET.
WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS,
THE ETHICS COMMITTEE
TRIES TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
BUT WE HAVE RULES
AND REGULATIONS,
AND THE HOSPITAL OPERATES
ON A STRINGENT BUDGET
AND HAS TO OBEY THOSE RULES
AND NOT TAKE ON RESPONSIBILITIES
THAT BELONG ELSEWHERE.
SO IT WARMS ME...
WHEN SOMEBODY
LIKE YOU COMES ALONG
AND FORCES US TO DO
WHAT WE WANTED
TO IN THE FIRST PLACE.
BY THE WAY,
ANY PROGRESS FINDING
JANE DOE'S PARENTS?
WE DON'T HAVE TOO
MUCH TO GO ON...
BUT WE'RE DOING
EVERYTHING WE CAN.
WHAT WAS YOUR NAME AGAIN?
TIFFANY!
OH, YEAH. RIGHT.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR BOYFRIEND NOW?
OH! SO, ANYWAY,
I'M GOING WITH THIS
GUY NAMED TODD, RIGHT?
AND WE ARE JUST, LIKE,
REALLY, REALLY SUPER
IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER
AND EVERYTHING LIKE
THAT, AND THE ONLY PROBLEM
IS HE WORKS IN THIS
REALLY COOL CLUB,
AND ONE NIGHT, THIS,
LIKE, TOTALLY BOGUS GIRL
SHOWS UP, YOU KNOW?
AND TODD, LIKE, DUMPS
ME! COULDN'T EVEN BELIEVE
HE COULD DO SUCH A
COLD THING LIKE THAT.
AND THEN I READ IN THE NEWSPAPER
THAT THE POLICE WERE
LOOKING FOR THIS IRENE PALEVSKY
AND EVERYTHING,
SO I, LIKE, CAME RIGHT DOWN.
WHY?
WHY WHAT?
WHY DID YOU COME RIGHT DOWN?
BECAUSE, LIKE, THAT WAS
HER NAME... IRENE PALEVSKY.
OH, YEAH. RIGHT.
LIKE I'M GOING TO
FORGET HER NAME.
I MEAN, SHE TOOK MY
BOYFRIEND AWAY FROM ME,
AND THE NAME PALEVSKY
IS ABSOLUTELY BRANDED ON TO
MY MEMORY FOREVER FOR LIFE.
IS THAT HER?
OH, MY GOD. YES!
THIS FACE HAS BEEN
BRANDED ON MY MEMORY, TOO,
ONLY YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
SHE DIDN'T HAVE, LIKE,
ALL THIS HAIR AND STUFF.
LIKE, HER HAIR WHEN I SAW HER
WAS, LIKE, REALLY,
REALLY, REALLY SHORT.
IT WAS TOTALLY UGLY. IT
WAS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.
I MEAN, I WOULDN'T EVEN
WEAR MY HAIR LIKE THAT.
I WOULDN'T BE CAUGHT DEAD
WITH THAT HAIRSTYLE ON ME,
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
BUT... YES, THAT'S HER.
ONCE SHE MOVED IN ON TODD,
HE COULD NOT EVEN
REMEMBER MY FIRST NAME.
NOW, LOOK, UH, YOUR
BOYFRIEND IS TODD WHO?
MY EX-BOYFRIEND, PLEASE.
HIS NAME IS TODD LOGAN,
AND HE'S A REAL, REAL SUPER FOX,
AND HE WORKS AT THE
COSMOS CLUB ON PICO.
AND HE PLAYS GUITAR...
LEAD GUITAR, EVEN,
WITH THE STIFF SPRINGS.
HAVE YOU HEARD
THE STIFF SPRINGS?
THEY'RE A REALLY,
REALLY GOOD BAND.
UH, NOW WHEN DID
ALL THIS HAPPEN?
WITH IRENE, I MEAN.
HER SHOWING UP AND EVERYTHING.
OK. WELL, SHE, LIKE,
FIRST CAME INTO THE PICTURE,
LIKE, 9... LET'S SEE.
NO. MAYBE, LIKE, 10 WEEKS AGO.
YEAH.
BUT LISTEN, SIR,
CAN I JUST ASK YOU A
REALLY QUICK QUESTION?
IT'S KIND OF IMPORTANT.
I WAS JUST WONDERING...
IS SHE, LIKE, UM...
IS SHE, LIKE, IN TROUBLE OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW?
NOT THAT I KNOW OF, NO.
OH, GOOD. 'CAUSE, LIKE,
FOR THE LONGEST TIME,
I WAS JUST, LIKE,
TOTALLY MAD AT HER,
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M
SAYING? AND THEN ONE DAY,
I JUST WOKE UP AND I JUST
REALIZED OUT OF THE BLUE
THAT, HEY, IT'S JUST,
LIKE, SUCH BAD KARMA,
SO I SAID TO MYSELF,
"OK, TIFFANY, JUST BE BIG."
SO... I WOULDN'T WANT
ANYTHING BAD TO HAPPEN
TO HER OR ANYTHING.
HUNTER?
I GOT 3 MORE DAYS.
OH. HEY, LISTEN,
IS THAT FANTASTIC.
GOOD FOR YOU. OH, BOY.
LOOK, I HAVE TO
GET BACK TO COURT,
AND I'D LIKE TO HAVE
YOU, SWEET PEA,
TELL HER EVERYTHING
YOU JUST TOLD ME,
AND I MEAN EVERYTHING.
OK.
AND, UH, GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
AHEM.
HI. SO, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
WELL, MY NAME IS TIFFANY,
BUT, LIKE I WAS
TELLING THIS TALL MAN
THAT'S LEAVING RIGHT
NOW, UM, MY EX-BOYFRIEND,
WHO IS A REAL,
TOTAL, TOTAL BABE...
HIS NAME IS TODD
LOGAN AND EVERYTHING?
AND HE'S, LIKE, WORKING
AT THE COSMOS CLUB
ON PICO BOULEVARD,
AND IF THERE WAS A ROCK
MAGAZINE FOR GQ GUYS,
HE WOULD BE IN
IT. I SWEAR TO GOD.
TODD LOGAN HERE?
OVER THERE.
TODD LOGAN?
WHO WANTS HIM?
LOS ANGELES METROPOLITAN POLICE.
CAN WE TALK?
YEAH. SURE. JUST A MINUTE.
HEY, I'VE GOT YOUR GUITAR!
DO WE TALK, OR DO
I TRASH THIS THING?
PLEASE, LADY, BE CAREFUL.
DON'T EVEN HOLD IT LIKE THAT.
YOU COULD DROP IT.
DO WE TALK?
YEAH, YEAH.
JUST BRING IT DOWN REAL EASY.
THAT'S RIGHT.
TALK ABOUT WHAT?
ABOUT IRENE.
IRENE?
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY
SO, FOR GOD'S SAKE?
YOU KNOW, WITH IRENE GONE,
THIS IS THE ONLY
GOOD THING I GOT LEFT.
YOU GAVE ME A FULL
SCARE, YOU KNOW?
TELL ME ABOUT HER.
WE WERE TOGETHER
FOR, LIKE, 9 OR 10 WEEKS.
I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS POSSIBLE
TO FEEL LIKE THAT ABOUT A CHICK,
YOU KNOW?
THEN ONE NIGHT, WE
HEARD ON THE RADIO
THAT A GIRL NAMED
IRENE PALEVSKY'S
BEEN SHOT.
IRENE LOOKS SORT OF
SHOCKED, YOU KNOW?
I TOLD HER IT MUST
HAVE BEEN SOME SORT
OF WEIRD COINCIDENCE
OR SOMETHING, RIGHT?
THEN I WENT TO WORK.
WHEN I GOT HOME, SHE WAS GONE.
NOTHING LEFT BUT A NOTE.
WHAT'D IT SAY?
IT SAID, "I LOVE YOU.
"SOMEDAY I'LL CALL AND EXPLAIN.
DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME."
LIKE I COULD FORGET
ABOUT HER, RIGHT?
DID SHE CALL?
NO, BUT I'M WAITING.
WHAT DID IRENE DO
BEFORE SHE CAME HERE TO L.A.?
SHE SAID SHE WAS A SHOW GIRL
IN LAS VEGAS.
WE HAD THIS CHANCE
TO GO TO VEGAS TOGETHER...
A WEEKEND GIG,
ALL EXPENSES PAID, RIGHT?
SO I TELL IRENE ABOUT IT,
AND SHE GETS ALL PARANOID,
SAYS SHE NEVER WANTS
TO GO NEAR THERE.
I ASKED HER WHY,
AND SHE SAID, "DON'T ASK."
I TURNED THE WEEKEND DOWN.
ARE YOU GOING TO LOOK FOR HER?
YEAH.
WHEN YOU FIND IRENE,
WILL YOU TELL HER
I DIDN'T FORGET ABOUT HER?
TELL HER TO COME HOME.
I'LL TELL HER, TODD.
SHE'S THE BEST THING
THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
SHE WAS A SHOW GIRL
THERE 6 MONTHS AGO.
HER REAL NAME IS IRENE PALEVSKY,
BUT I DON'T THINK
SHE WAS USING IT.
I'M GOING TO SEND
YOU A PICTURE OF HER
WITH A DETECTIVE VASQUEZ.
HE'S COMING UP IN THE MORNING
WITH A PRISONER HE'S GOING
TO DELIVER TO YOU GUYS.
AND DO ME A FAVOR...
PUT A RUSH ON IT
BECAUSE WE THINK THE GIRL'S
A HIT TARGET. YEAH. THANKS.
RAY, DO ME A FAVOR...
IF HUNTER OR ANYBODY ELSE CALLS,
TELL THEM I'LL BE
AT THE HOSPITAL.
Ray: YOU GOT IT.
Man: HUNTER.
THIS MESSAGE JUST CAME IN
FOR McCALL FROM LAS VEGAS P.D.
IRENE PALEVSKY USED
THE NAME GLORIA BOUCHET.
BOUCHET DISAPPEARED
6 MONTHS AGO.
SHE CAN CALL DETECTIVE FEENEY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SURE.
HI. CAN I HELP YOU?
ARE YOU SERGEANT McCALL?
NO. I'M SERGEANT HUNTER.
SERGEANT McCALL IS MY PARTNER.
STACY COLLINS.
STACY, HOW ARE YOU?
I DROVE ALL NIGHT FROM VEGAS
AFTER THE LAST SHOW.
THE POLICE CALLED ME
AND SAID THAT SERGEANT McCALL
HAD MADE AN INQUIRY
ABOUT GLORIA BOUCHET.
HMM. YEAH.
IF THIS IS HER,
SHE'S BETTER KNOWN
HERE AS IRENE PALEVSKY.
THAT'S HER.
BUT IN VEGAS, SHE'S
JUST GLORIA BOUCHET.
SHE WAS MY ROOMMATE
AND CLOSEST FRIEND
FOR OVER 2 YEARS.
ABOUT 6 MONTHS
AGO, SHE DISAPPEARED.
NO NOTE. NO CALL.
IT WAS KIND OF LIKE
LOSING A SISTER.
I'VE BEEN SCARED TO DEATH.
IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S
GOING ON WITH HER,
COULD YOU TELL ME?
CAN I BUY YOU A CUP OF COFFEE?
SURE, IF I CAN GET
SOME BREAKFAST
TO GO ALONG WITH IT.
I KNOW JUST THE CHEF. COME ON.
APPARENTLY, SHE AND TODD
HAD A PRETTY GOOD THING GOING
UNTIL SHE GOT SCARED
AND TOOK OFF AGAIN.
THANK YOU.
DID YOU TALK TO THIS TODD LOGAN?
I DIDN'T PERSONALLY, NO.
MY PARTNER SERGEANT
McCALL DID, THOUGH.
THAT'S HOW WE FOUND OUT
SHE'D BEEN IN LAS VEGAS.
AND THAT'S ALL THIS TODD LOGAN
COULD TELL YOU?
WELL, HE MIGHT KNOW MORE,
BUT THAT'S ALL
WE'VE GOT FOR NOW.
WHERE CAN I FIND HIM? WHY?
WELL, BECAUSE PEOPLE TELL COPS
ONLY WHAT COPS ASK.
PEOPLE TELL SHOW
GIRLS EVERYTHING.
YOU KNOW, YOU'D MAKE
A PRETTY GOOD COP.
BUT YOU'D MAKE A
LOUSY SHOW GIRL.
OH.
I DO MY HOMEWORK, DEE DEE.
THAT 3-DAY EXTENSION
I GRANTED YOU
COST THE COUNTY $13,750,
AND YOU'RE NO CLOSER
TO FINDING YOUR JANE DOE
THAN YOU WERE THEN.
BUT WE ARE. EVERY
DAY THAT THOSE PARENTS
DON'T HEAR FROM THAT GIRL,
THAT'S ANOTHER DAY
CLOSER THEY COME
TO REPORTING HER MISSING.
EVERY POLICE DEPARTMENT
HERE AND IN CANADA
HAS A PHYSICAL
DESCRIPTION OF HER
AND A COPY OF HER DENTAL X-RAYS.
PLEASE, JUST EXTEND
THE INJUNCTION
A FEW MORE HOURS.
JUST 48 HOURS, 24 HOURS.
WHAT ABOUT THE COST OF
KEEPING YOUR JANE DOE ALIVE?
BE PRACTICAL A MOMENT, PLEASE.
PRACTICAL? WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT A CHILD.
WHAT IF THE CHILD IS BORN
WITH SERIOUS DEFECTS?
PEOPLE LOOKING FOR BABIES,
THEY WANT TO KNOW
WHAT THEY'RE GETTING.
LISTEN TO ME. I HAPPEN TO THINK
THAT CHILD IS GOING
TO BE VERY HEALTHY
WHEN IT'S BORN.
WITH A HOLE IN ITS HEART?
I'VE DONE MY HOMEWORK, TOO.
ONE OUT OF EVERY 10 UNBORNS
HAS THIS PROBLEM AT 6 MONTHS.
THE HOLE USUALLY
SEALS UP SHORTLY BEFORE
OR RIGHT AFTER BIRTH.
THAT MAY BE TRUE, DEE DEE...
BUT THE HOSPITAL WON'T
ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY,
NOR WILL ANYONE ELSE.
BYRON, JUST LISTEN TO ME
FOR A MINUTE, ALL RIGHT?
IF NO ONE ELSE IS GOING
TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THAT BABY, THEN I WILL.
JUST WAIT A MINUTE.
I'VE GIVEN THIS A LOT OF
THOUGHT. I REALLY HAVE.
NOW, I THINK THAT BABY'S
GOING TO BE NORMAL,
AND I'M WILLING TO
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
WILL YOU HELP ME?
I'M GOING TO PROTECT
YOU FROM YOURSELF.
I'M GOING TO GRANT YOU
ONE MORE 24-HOUR EXTENSION.
USE THE TIME TO THINK IT OVER.
AFTER THAT, IF YOU
STILL WANT TO DO IT,
I'LL GET THE BALL ROLLING TO
APPOINT YOU HER GUARDIAN.
THANKS.
Hunter: IT JUST SEEMS SO FUNNY.
MOST WOMEN HAVE 9 MONTHS
TO PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR THIS.
I MEAN, IT'S VIRTUALLY
HAPPENED TO YOU OVERNIGHT.
YOU KNOW, WHAT
IF... WHAT IF THE BABY
COMES INTO THIS WORLD WITH A...
A BIRTH DEFECT?
A BIRTH DEFECT. YEAH.
I KNOW THE ODDS. I KNOW
THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
I KNOW THAT IT COULD HAPPEN,
BUT TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH...
I FEEL INSIDE THAT IT WON'T.
I REALLY, REALLY DO.
AND EVEN IF IT DOES, THAT
IS ALL THE MORE REASON
THAT I WILL NEED TO BE
THERE FOR THAT BABY.
WELL, YEAH. I MEAN,
I UNDERSTAND THAT.
WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS,
IS THAT YOUR DECISION ABOUT THIS
IS BASED ON FACT AND REALITY,
NOT ON EMOTION AND CIRCUMSTANCE.
WELL, EMOTION AND CIRCUMSTANCE
OBVIOUSLY DO ENTER INTO THIS,
BUT HERE ARE THE FACTS...
THAT BABY NEEDS A
PARENT DESPERATELY.
NOW, I CAN FILL THAT NEED.
WHAT'S MORE IS, I WANT TO.
NOW, I AM MOVING CAREFULLY.
I AM MOVING DELIBERATELY.
I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS
FOR A LONG TIME.
RICK, YOU KNOW I WANT KIDS.
YEAH.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S
VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.
AND... I FEEL READY.
I REALLY DO.
LET ME PLAY DEVIL'S ADVOCATE
WITH YOU HERE ON ONE SUBJECT.
WHAT IF SOMEBODY STEPS FORWARD
AND PUTS A CLAIM ON THAT CHILD?
WELL, THEN I WILL
HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT
IF AND WHEN IT
HAPPENS, BUT TILL IT DOES,
I'M ALL THAT THAT
BABY HAS, AND I KNOW IT.
I CAN'T TURN MY BACK
ON THAT. COULD YOU?
YOU'RE PRETTY CLEAR
ABOUT ALL THIS, AREN'T YOU?
YEAH.
YEAH.
I LIKE YOU.
Dispatcher, on radio:
L-56, COME IN, PLEASE.
L-56, COME IN, PLEASE.
L-56. GO AHEAD.
L-56, WE HAVE A PATCH-THROUGH
FOR SERGEANT HUNTER.
YEAH. PATCH THEM THROUGH.
Stacy: HUNTER, THIS
IS STACY COLLINS.
STACY, WHAT'S HAPPENING?
REAL QUICK QUESTION...
ARE YOU HAVING ME TAILED?
NO. WHY?
SOMEBODY IN A BEIGE
SEDAN IS FOLLOWING ME.
WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?
I'M AT MY HOTEL.
WILSHIRE AND OAKHURST.
WHAT KIND OF CAR YOU DRIVING?
WELL, I'VE GOT A BLUE
MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE.
OK. HERE'S WHAT
I WANT YOU TO DO.
IN 10 MINUTES,
LEAVE YOUR PLACE AND DRIVE
NORTH ON RIVERSIDE DRIVE.
AS YOU COME TO LOS
FELIZ, CROSS LOS FELIZ
AND GO INTO GRIFFITH
PARK. I'LL PICK YOU UP THERE.
AND ONCE YOU'RE INSIDE THE PARK,
MAKE A SERIES OF RIGHT-
AND LEFT-HAND TURNS,
AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO FIND
OUT WHO'S FOLLOWING YOU.
YOU GOT THAT?
YOU GOT IT. 10 MINUTES.
WHO WAS THAT?
STACY COLLINS.
SOMEBODY'S FOLLOWING HER.
McCall: L-56.
Dispatcher: L-56, GO.
I'D LIKE A 10-28 AND 29
ON CALIFORNIA LICENSE NUMBER
2-DAVID-CHARLIE-LINCOLN-3-1-0.
10-4, L-56.
Dispatcher: L-56, ON
CALIFORNIA LICENSE NUMBER
DAVID-CHARLIE-LINCOLN-3-1-0,
A 1987 OLDS REGISTERED
TO ABC AUTO RENTAL, LOS ANGELES.
NO WANTS, NO WARRANTS.
10-4. I'LL BE
STOPPING THE VEHICLE
AT LOS FELIZ
BOULEVARD NORTHBOUND.
L-56, YOU WANT A BACKUP UNIT?
NEGATIVE AT THIS
TIME. WILL ADVISE.
METROPOLITAN POLICE.
GET OUT OF THE CAR VERY SLOWLY
AND PUT YOUR HANDS
ON THE ROOF, PLEASE.
HEY, I'M A COP, FOR GOD'S SAKES.
LAS VEGAS P.D.
MY BADGE IS IN MY
RIGHT JACKET POCKET.
WHERE'S YOUR GUN?
LEFT SIDE.
OK, SERGEANT RONCOE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
FOLLOWING THIS LADY?
I'M ON A CASE. MISS
COLLINS IS INVOLVED.
WHAT CASE IS THAT?
THE STRAUBER
MURDER IN LAS VEGAS.
HER ROOMMATE GLORIA
BOUCHET WAS AN EYEWITNESS.
WELL, USUALLY WHEN
A POLICE OFFICER
FROM ANOTHER JURISDICTION
COMES IN TO WORK
ON ONE OF OUR
CASES, THEY NOTIFY US.
I JUST GOT IN TOWN
EARLY THIS MORNING.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE HER.
Stacy: I DON'T KNOW
HOW YOU FOUND ME,
AND I'M NOT SO SURE
I WANT TO KNOW.
ALL THIS IS MAKING
ME KIND OF NERVOUS.
I WONDER IF YOU
OR SERGEANT McCALL
COULD FOLLOW ME
BACK TO MY HOTEL.
SURE. UH,
THIS IS MY PARTNER
SERGEANT McCALL.
SHE'LL TAKE YOU TO THE PRECINCT,
WHERE YOU CAN MEET
OUR CAPTAIN DEVANE.
HE'LL SHOW YOU OUR CASE FILE.
MUCH OBLIGED.
SERGEANT, SHALL WE?
HEY, THERE'S SOMETHING
FISHY ABOUT THIS GUY.
YEAH? WHAT'S THAT?
THE STRAUBER MURDER.
IF GLORIA WAS AN EYEWITNESS,
SHE NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT IT,
AND THE POLICE NEVER CAME AROUND
TO ASK EITHER ONE
OF US ANY QUESTIONS.
YEAH? OK. COME HERE.
HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO.
I WANT YOU TO GO BACK
TO YOUR HOTEL, CHECK OUT,
AND CHECK INTO ANOTHER HOTEL.
YOU GOT THAT?
AFTER YOU DO, LET ME
KNOW WHERE YOU ARE.
AND YOU'LL KEEP ME POSTED?
YES, I WILL.
YEAH. LAS VEGAS, PLEASE.
THE NUMBER OF THE LAS
VEGAS POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Ray: McCALL, WE'VE
BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU.
GOT A COUPLE OF
MESSAGES FOR YOU.
DR. SCHNEIDER CALLED.
YOUR JANE DOE HAS TOXEMIA.
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
TAKE THE BABY BY C-SECTION
AS SOON AS THEY'VE
GOT AN AVAILABLE O.R.
AND A CALL FROM TODD LOGAN.
SAID HE HEARD FROM IRENE.
SHE'S GOING TO BE
STAYING AT A FRIEND'S HOUSE
IN MALIBU CANYON.
HE LEFT AN ADDRESS.
HERE IT IS, AND THAT'S A 6.
RAY, I LOVE YOU.
DO ME A FAVOR, WILL YOU?
THIS IS DETECTIVE
SERGEANT NICK RONCOE
WITH VEGAS P.D.
HE NEEDS TO TALK
TO CAPTAIN DEVANE
AND PROBABLY GET
A LOOK AT THIS FILE.
SHOW HIM AROUND, WILL YOU?
YOU GOT IT.
I'M NOT GOING FAR.
I'LL BE BACK BEFORE
CLOSING TIME.
SURE. THANKS.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE CAPTAIN'S
IN WITH SOMEONE RIGHT NOW.
I'LL JUST CHECK
WITH THE SECRETARY
AND LET HIM KNOW
WE GOT TO SEE HIM.
OK.
RAY, WHERE'S McCALL?
Ray: HUNTER, SHE
LEFT HERE LIKE A SHOT
JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO.
SHE WENT TO THE
HOSPITAL, I THINK.
YOU KNOW, SHE WANTED ME
TO INTRODUCE THE CAPTAIN
TO THIS VEGAS COP,
BUT THE GUY'S NOT
WHERE I LEFT HIM.
LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY.
THAT GUY IS NOT A COP.
YOU GOT THAT,
RAY? HE IS NOT A COP.
THINK HARD. WHERE DID HE GO?
SHE LEFT A FILE ON
HER DESK. IT'S GONE.
THERE WAS A MESSAGE IN IT
THAT I TOOK FOR HER
FROM A TODD LOGAN,
SOMETHING ABOUT IRENE
AND A HOUSE IN MALIBU CANYON.
I REMEMBER THE ADDRESS.
IT WAS 316 TERRA COTTA WAY.
OK. GREAT. LISTEN
VERY CAREFULLY.
HAVE McCALL PAGED
AT THE HOSPITAL,
THE O.B. WARD.
TELL McCALL THAT I
TALKED TO VEGAS POLICE.
THEY TOLD ME THAT RONCOE
HAS NOT BEEN A POLICE OFFICER
FOR OVER 6 MONTHS. YOU GOT THAT?
ALSO, GIVE HER THE
INFORMATION YOU JUST GAVE ME
AND TELL HER I'M ON MY WAY TO
THAT LOCATION, CODE 3. GOT IT?
GOT IT.
McCall: YOU MEAN IN
THE OPERATING ROOM?
SERGEANT McCALL, YOU MAY BE
THE FIRST MOTHER STANDING BY
AT THE DELIVERY OF HER OWN BABY.
SERGEANT McCALL, YOU
HAVE AN URGENT CALL
FROM YOUR HEADQUARTERS.
WE START THE
PROCEDURE AT 6 P.M. SHARP.
I'LL BE THERE.
THANK YOU.
YEAH. THIS IS McCALL.
RAY, I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH.
YEAH. I GOT IT. TERRA COTTA WAY.
RIGHT. THANK YOU.
CAN I MAKE A CALL FROM HERE?
SURE. DIAL 9.
TODD, LISTEN TO ME. CALL IRENE,
TELL HER TO GET OUT OF
THAT HOUSE RIGHT NOW.
YOU STAY WHERE YOU
ARE. WE'LL CALL YOU.
COME ON. GET THE BALL.
SPEAK! SPEAK!
ALL RIGHT! GOOD
DOG. OK. GET THE BALL.
ALL RIGHT! GOOD DOG!
ALL RIGHT! GOOD DOG!
GOOD BOY. YEAH.
YOU WANT IT? COME ON. JUMP.
HI.
Irene: HELP!
HELP ME, PLEASE! SOMEBODY!
HELP!
HELP!
IRENE!
OH, PLEASE HELP ME!
HE'S TRYING TO KILL ME! OH!
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH. I'M FINE. THANKS.
HUNTER?
YOU OK?
YEAH. WE'RE FINE.
THIS IS IRENE. THIS IS DEE DEE.
HI.
HI. I WANT TO GET
BACK TO THE HOSPITAL.
THEY'RE TAKING THE
BABY. I WANT TO BE THERE.
GET GOING. I'LL SEE YOU THERE.
YOU KNOW THIS GUY?
GUY'S NAME IS NICK RONCOE.
YEAH. I SAW HIM KILL A
MAN NAMED STRAUBER.
LET'S CALL YOUR MOTHER.
OH, COME HERE!
COME HERE! LOOKIT. LOOK AT THAT.
IS SHE BEAUTIFUL? SHE'S SO TINY.
BOY, SHE'S TERRIFIC.
OH, SHE'S GORGEOUS.
LOOK AT THAT LITTLE FACE.
SHE'S GREAT.
OH, SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.
WHAT? WHAT?
WELL, I WENT BACK
TO THE PRECINCT
AND RAN INTO MIKE HARRISON,
WHO WAS AT MY DESK.
HE FOUND JANE DOE'S NEXT OF KIN.
THEY'RE FARMERS FROM WISCONSIN.
IT'S FOR THE BEST, RIGHT?
OHH.
YEAH. I GUESS. YEAH.
DO WE TALK, OR DO
I TRASH THIS THING?
THE D.A. WANTS ONE
OF YOU TO TESTIFY
IN THE GIULIANO CASE.
WHO'S IT GOING TO BE?
HUNTER. McCALL.
YOU KNOW, YOU'D MAKE
A PRETTY GOOD COP.
BUT YOU'D MAKE A
LOUSY SHOW GIRL.
Woman: HELP! HE'S
TRYING TO KILL ME!
NOW, RICK, YOU KNOW I WANT KIDS.
YEAH.
SERGEANT McCALL, YOU
MAY BE THE FIRST MOTHER
STANDING BY AT THE
DELIVERY OF HER OWN BABY.
OH! LOOKIT. LOOK AT THAT.
IS SHE BEAUTIFUL?
HAVE A NICE DAY. BYE.
YEAH?
Man: EDNA WATLEY?
YEAH. WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I HAVE A PACKAGE FOR YOU.
I'M JUST GETTING INTO
THE TUB. I CAN'T NOW.
JUST LEAVE IT THERE.
OUTSIDE THE DOOR?
NO, NO. INSIDE THE
COURTYARD. I'LL BUZZ YOU IN.
YES? WHAT IS IT?
WE HAVE A PLUMBING
PROBLEM, MS. PALEVSKY.
MR. WARREN WANTS ME
TO CHECK YOUR BATHROOM.
OK. JUST A MINUTE.
BILLY, WHAT DO YOU GOT?
THE VICTIM WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD
AT CLOSE RANGE
WITH A SMALL CALIBER HANDGUN,
PROBABLY A .22.
SHE'S ALIVE, BUT BARELY,
AND SHE LOOKS TO ME TO BE
6 OR 7 MONTHS PREGNANT.
OH, MY GOD.
WELL... WHAT DO WE GOT IN
THE WAY OF EVIDENCE HERE?
WELL, ACCORDING TO
THIS NEW YORK STATE
DRIVER'S LICENSE,
SHE'S IRENE PALEVSKY,
21, FROM BUFFALO.
ANY EVIDENCE OF ROBBERY?
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT.
THEY DIDN'T EVEN
BOTHER TO COME IN.
JUST SHOT HER RIGHT THERE
IN THE DOORWAY.
HOW LONG AGO DO
YOU THINK THAT WAS?
NEIGHBOR EDNA WATLEY FOUND HER.
SHE PUT IN THE CALL TO US
AT ABOUT 4:27.
Woman: EDNA! EDNA! EDNA!
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHAT HAPPENED? EDNA!
MA'AM.
THANK YOU.
MS. WATLEY?
I'M SERGEANT HUNTER.
I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE THE ONE
THAT DISCOVERED
MS. PALEVSKY'S BODY.
YEAH. I LIVE RIGHT
NEXT DOOR TO HER.
POOR BABY. I TELL YOU,
I DON'T UNDERSTAND NONE OF THIS.
WHO'D WANT TO HURT
THAT SWEET CHILD?
NOW, WHEN YOU
HEARD THE GUNSHOTS...
I DIDN'T HEAR NO SHOT.
I WENT OUT TO THE LOBBY
TO PICK UP A PACKAGE
SUPPOSED TO BE
LEFT THERE FOR ME,
ONLY THERE WASN'T NOTHING THERE.
AND WHEN I COME BACK, I
SEEN IRENE'S DOOR OPEN
AND HER... JUST LAYING THERE.
NOW, ARE YOU SURE
YOU DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING
THAT SOUNDED LIKE
A CAR BACKFIRING?
LOOK, THERE AIN'T NOTHING WRONG
WITH MY EARS. I'M TELLING YOU,
I DIDN'T HEAR NO SHOT.
AND MY TV WASN'T ON, NEITHER.
NOW, YOU SAY YOU WENT
DOWN FOR A PACKAGE.
YEAH. IT COME WHEN
I WAS TAKING A BATH,
SO I TOLD THE GUY
TO JUST LEAVE IT IN THE LOBBY,
ONLY IT WASN'T THERE
WHEN I WENT OUT THERE.
YOU TALKED TO HIM
ON THE INTERCOM?
YEAH, WHEN I BUZZED HIM IN.
WHAT TIME WAS THAT?
OH... LET'S SEE.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN ABOUT 4:00.
YEAH, 'CAUSE I DIDN'T
GO TAKE MY BATH
UNTIL AFTER YOUR LUCKY DAY
WAS OVER WITH, AND...
YOUR LUCKY DAY?
YEAH. THE GAME
SHOW YOUR LUCKY DAY.
YOU COULD WIN DINETTES AND...
I THOUGHT YOU SAID
YOUR TELEVISION
WASN'T ON, THOUGH.
WELL, I ALWAYS TURN IT OFF
WHEN MY PROGRAM GOES OFF.
OH, YEAH.
NOW, WHAT ABOUT IRENE'S FRIENDS?
TELL ME ABOUT THEM.
WELL, SHE'S ONLY BEEN HERE
A COUPLE MONTHS.
SHE DIDN'T HAVE NO FRIENDS
EXCEPT FOR ME AND SISTER NORA
OVER AT ST. AGNES'
HALL, YOU KNOW?
THEY WAS HELPING
HER WITH THE BABY.
YEAH.
WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO
HAVE SISTER NORA'S ADDRESS
AND PHONE NUMBER?
OH, SURE, I DO.
IRENE GIVE IT TO
ME IN CASE OF...
EMERGENCY.
IT'S IN MY APARTMENT.
Hunter: ANYBODY YOU
TALK TO HEAR GUNSHOTS?
NOBODY.
MUST HAVE BEEN A SILENCER.
THAT'D MAKE IT A
PROFESSIONAL HIT.
THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
SHE'S JUST A KID.
IT SURE DOESN'T.
LET'S GO FIND OUT WHY.
I'M GOING TO GO
OVER TO THE HOSPITAL.
I'LL DROP YOU OFF
AT SISTER NORA'S.
SHE'S MORE YOUR TYPE.
Woman: FORGIVE THE
EMOTIONAL DISPLAY,
BUT I... I STILL FIND IT
DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT.
DEAR LORD, THAT CHILD WAS
SUCH A GENTLE CREATURE.
WHO WOULD POSSIBLY
WISH HER ANY HARM?
ARE YOU SURE IT
WASN'T A ROBBERY?
IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE.
SISTER NORA, I NEED
FOR YOU TO TELL ME
ANYTHING YOU CAN ABOUT IRENE.
THAT'S VERY LITTLE, I'M AFRAID.
THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING WE OFFER THESE GIRLS
IS CONFIDENTIALITY.
THE ONLY REASON WE ASK THEM
FOR THEIR BIRTH CERTIFICATE
OR DRIVER'S LICENSE
IS WE'RE REQUIRED TO BY LAW
TO BE SURE THEY AREN'T MINORS.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE FATHER
OF IRENE'S BABY?
DID SHE HAVE ANY
CONTACT WITH HIM?
NO.
HE WAS BACK HOME,
NOT HERE IN LOS ANGELES.
SHE DIDN'T EVEN TELL
HIM SHE WAS PREGNANT.
BACK HOME. YOU MEAN IN BUFFALO?
WHY, YES. THAT'S
WHERE HER FAMILY IS.
DO YOU KNOW IF SHE TRIED
TO CONTACT THE FAMILY THERE?
WELL, I TRIED TO PERSUADE HER
TO TELL THEM THE TRUTH,
BUT SHE WOULDN'T HEAR OF IT.
THE THOUGHT OF THEIR
FINDING OUT SHE WAS PREGNANT
SIMPLY TERRIFIED IRENE.
SO... SHE INVENTED A STORY
THAT SHE WAS TRAVELING IN CANADA
AS AN EXCHANGE STUDENT,
AND SHE'D CALL THEM
EVERY 10 DAYS OR SO
FROM CANADA.
DID YOU EVER TRY
TO CALL THE PARENTS?
OH, GOOD HEAVENS, NO.
THAT WOULD BE VIOLATING
AN IRREVOCABLE TRUST.
IF WE DIDN'T OFFER THAT,
MANY OF THESE GIRLS
WOULD OPT FOR ABORTION.
BUT PALEVSKY IS
HARDLY A COMMON NAME.
I'M SURE IF YOU CALL
BUFFALO INFORMATION...
YEAH. YEAH.
WELL, THANK YOU.
HELLO?
McCall: IS THIS MRS. PALEVSKY?
YES.
YES. WHO IS THIS?
MY NAME IS DEE DEE McCALL.
I'M WITH THE METRO
POLICE IN LOS ANGELES.
UH...
MRS. PALEVSKY, DO YOU HAVE
A DAUGHTER NAMED IRENE?
YES.
THE BULLET ENTERED
THE FRONTAL LOBE,
CAUSING MASSIVE BRAIN DAMAGE
BEFORE LODGING THERE.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
IS IRENE GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT?
MRS. PALEVSKY,
THE REASON I ASKED TO SEE YOU
BEFORE YOU SAW YOUR DAUGHTER
IS THAT WHEN SHE ARRIVED
AT THE HOSPITAL,
SHE WAS BRAIN-DEAD.
HER CONDITION IS IRREVERSIBLE.
I'M SORRY. THERE WAS
NOTHING WE COULD DO.
I WANT TO SEE MY DAUGHTER.
THAT'S NOT MY DAUGHTER!
IT'S NOT IRENE.
TAKE ANOTHER
LOOK, MRS. PALEVSKY.
BE ABSOLUTELY SURE.
I DON'T HAVE TO. I
KNOW MY DAUGHTER.
THIS ISN'T HER.
I'LL SEND YOU A
PICTURE. THEN YOU'LL SEE.
I'M VERY SORRY
ABOUT THIS POOR GIRL,
BUT SHE'S NOT MY DAUGHTER.
IRENE LEFT HOME
AFTER HER FATHER
DIED 3 YEARS AGO.
SHE SAID SHE WAS
GOING TO GET MONEY
AND SEND SOME TO ME,
BUT... I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
NO LETTERS. SHE DIDN'T CALL.
SHE WAS ALWAYS GOING
TO DO SOMETHING BIG.
NOTHING EVER WORKED OUT FOR HER.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU SAW HER, MRS. PALEVSKY?
6 MONTHS AGO.
I CAME HOME,
AND THERE'S IRENE ON THE STOOP
WAITING FOR ME.
HOW LONG DID SHE STAY?
2 MONTHS.
SHE WAS VERY DISTANT.
I COULDN'T GET
HER TO TALK TO ME.
AND THEN ONE DAY,
I CAME HOME, AND SHE'D
CUT OFF ALL HER HAIR.
I MEAN, ALL OF IT. TO HERE.
SHE'D ALWAYS BEEN
SO PROUD OF HER HAIR.
I WAS VERY UPSET ABOUT THAT.
THE NEXT MORNING,
SHE WAS... SHE WAS GONE.
DID SHE LEAVE A
NUMBER OR AN ADDRESS
WHERE YOU COULD REACH HER?
NOTHING.
READY, SERGEANT.
MS. PALEVSKY, THIS
IS OFFICER GARRETT.
HE'S GOING TO TAKE
YOU TO THE AIRPORT.
WE'RE VERY SORRY
TO HAVE TO PUT YOU
THROUGH ALL THIS.
OH, IT'S OK.
BELIEVE ME, IT'S OK.
AND WE'LL KEEP YOU
POSTED UNTIL WE FIND IRENE.
YOU'LL LOOK FOR HER?
OH, YES. WE'VE GOT
TO FIND HER FAST.
YOU THINK THAT SOMEBODY
WANTS TO KILL IRENE.
WELL, THERE'S A GOOD
POSSIBILITY OF THAT, YES.
BE SURE TO SEND US THAT PICTURE.
IT'LL HELP.
I'LL SEND IT AS
SOON AS I GET HOME.
HAVE A NICE FLIGHT.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE'D BETTER FIND THAT GIRL FAST.
WHOEVER PUT THE HIT ON
HER IS GOING TO TRY AGAIN
AS SOON AS THEY FIGURE OUT
THEY KILLED THE WRONG GIRL.
GOOD MORNING, McCALL.
GOOD MORNING, HUNTER.
HOW ARE YOU, CHARLIE?
GLAD TO SEE YOU LOOKING SO HAPPY
AND RELAXED THIS MORNING
BECAUSE I GOT SOME
DEPRESSING NEWS FOR YOU.
THE D.A. WANTS ONE
OF YOU TO TESTIFY
IN THE GIULIANO CASE.
WHO'S IT GOING TO BE?
HUNTER. McCALL.
YOU WORK IT OUT.
WHOEVER IT IS, IN MY
OFFICE IN 10 MINUTES.
NO. WAIT.
I WANT THIS CASE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO FLIP FOR IT?
NO.
LET ME HAVE THIS CASE, OK?
THERE'S SOMETHING,
UH, SOMETHING ABOUT IT
WITH THE GIRL AND THE BABY
AND EVERYTHING. JUST... I
WANT THE CASE, ALL RIGHT?
SURE. THANKS.
YEAH. I'LL, UH,
I'LL MAKE CHARLIE
WAIT 10 MINUTES,
AND THEN I'LL GO TELL HIM.
McCall: THIS ONE'S IN I.C.U.
WITH A BULLET IN HER BRAIN.
PREGNANT JANE DOE. SHE
WAS HIDING FROM HER PARENTS
USING THIS ONE'S I.D.,
ONE IRENE PALEVSKY.
AND THIS PICTURE IS
ABOUT 3 YEARS OLD.
HER HAIR'S CUT A
LOT SHORTER NOW.
WE THINK SHE MIGHT
HAVE BEEN THE TARGET
FOR THE BULLET
THAT JANE DOE TOOK.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN?
YOU MEAN YOU'RE JUST GUESSING?
WELL, IT'S ONE OF THE
THINGS I DO BEST, MIKE.
BY THE WAY, WE DREW A BLANK
ON JANE DOE'S FINGERPRINTS.
SHE DIDN'T HAVE A CAR, SO SHE
PROBABLY NEVER HAD ANY TAKEN.
YOU LOVE TO COMPLICATE
MY LIFE, DON'T YOU?
COMPLICATE IT? WHAT? I
GOT YOU THE DENTAL HISTORY
ON JANE DOE. LOOK AT THAT.
THERE'S 3 FILLINGS, ONE
IMPACTED WISDOM TOOTH,
AND I HAVE FOR YOU HERE
EVERYTHING THAT WE
HAVE ON IRENE PALEVSKY.
IT'S NOT GREAT,
BUT IT'S NOT BAD
UNDER JANE DOE, I MEAN.
AND IF SOMEBODY HAS FILED
A MISSING PERSON'S
REPORT ON HER,
WELL, I CAN PROBABLY
GET YOU SOMETHING
FROM THE COMPUTER
IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.
WELL, I DON'T THINK...
YOU'RE GOING TO FIND
ANYTHING IN THE COMPUTER.
NOW WHAT?
THE GIRL TOLD HER FAMILY
SHE WAS TRAVELING WITH A
GROUP OF STUDENTS IN CANADA,
SO THEY DON'T THINK
OF HER AS MISSING.
SO THERE'S NO REPORT.
HAVE YOU GOT ANY CONCEPTION
WHAT IT'S GONNA BE
LIKE TO TRY TO FIND
THIS GIRL'S FAMILY?
I MEAN, JUST USING THIS STUFF?
LOOK AT THIS GIRL'S FACE.
I WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE HER
IF SHE WAS MY DAUGHTER.
AND FOR HER DENTAL X-RAYS...
THEY'RE NOT GONNA MEAN NOTHING
UNTIL SOMEBODY
STARTS LOOKING FOR HER.
WELL, CONCENTRATE ON IRENE.
MAYBE SHE KNOWS
WHO THIS JANE DOE IS.
PUT A PICTURE IN THE PAPER.
MAYBE A LITTLE LOCAL NEWS
COVERAGE IS ALL WE NEED.
YEAH. YOU KNOW, THAT'S
ALL YOU EVER GIVE ME
IS A BUNCH OF MIGHTS AND MAYBES.
WELL, THAT'S WHY
WE COME TO YOU, MIKE.
'CAUSE YOU'RE THE EXPERT
ON MIGHTS AND MAYBES.
REALLY? YEAH.
OK.
DO ME A FAVOR. CUT
OUT THIS COFFEE.
IT'S MAKING YOU NERVOUS.
MMM. YEAH. TOO MUCH CAFFEINE.
WHAT DO YOU PUT IN HERE, ANYWAY?
SERGEANT, I APPRECIATE
YOUR CONCERN,
BUT THE HOSPITAL ETHICS
COMMITTEE MET THIS MORNING.
NOW, IF SOMEONE DOESN'T
COME FORWARD SOON
TO CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY,
ADMINISTRATION WILL
HAVE TO ASK THE COURT
TO APPOINT A GUARDIAN.
IT'LL BE UP TO THE GUARDIAN
TO DECIDE IF AND WHEN
LIFE SUPPORT WILL
BE DISCONTINUED.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
ARE YOU SAYING
THAT SOME STRANGER
IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO
DECIDE THE FATE OF THE BABY
THAT'S INSIDE THAT GIRL?
THE HOSPITAL CAN'T
ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY
INDEFINITELY.
IF YOU CAN'T FIND OUT
WHO YOUR JANE DOE IS,
WE'LL PROBABLY BE INSTRUCTED
TO TURN OFF LIFE SUPPORT.
IN THE MEANTIME, WE'RE
DOING ULTRASOUND TESTS
AND WE'RE MONITORING
THE HEARTBEAT,
JUST IN CASE.
WHAT ABOUT AMNIOCENTESIS?
THE RESULTS OF THAT TEST
WON'T BE IN FOR 10 DAYS.
PRELIMINARY FINDINGS
SHOW THE LUNGS AREN'T DEVELOPED
AND THERE'S A HOLE IN THE HEART.
ARE YOU SAYING THE
BABY CAN'T MAKE IT?
NO. IT'S NOT UNCOMMON
FOR A 27-WEEK FETUS
TO HAVE A HOLE IN ITS HEART.
UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES,
IT WOULD USUALLY CLOSE
JUST BEFORE OR AFTER BIRTH,
BUT NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES
DON'T PREVAIL IN THIS CASE.
SO, WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME IS,
IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T COME
FORWARD TO CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY HERE,
SOME COURT-APPOINTED GUARDIAN
IS GOING TO BE ABLE
TO PULL THE PLUG?
ALL RIGHT. EASY, SERGEANT.
TAKE IT EASY.
JUST HOW LONG WE CAN KEEP
JANE DOE'S BODY FUNCTIONING
IS AN UNKNOWN,
AND IT DOESN'T LOOK
VERY PROMISING.
HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE
FOR THE COURT TO
APPOINT THIS GUARDIAN?
SOME TIME TOMORROW.
DAY AFTER AT THE LATEST.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
SOONER OR LATER,
HER PARENTS WILL
REALIZE SHE'S MISSING
AND THEY'LL CALL THE POLICE,
BUT THAT MIGHT TAKE
DAYS, EVEN WEEKS.
I UNDERSTAND THE
HOSPITAL'S POINT OF VIEW.
IT COSTS A MINT OF MONEY
TO KEEP SOMEONE ON LIFE SUPPORT,
NOT TO MENTION DELIVERING A BABY
THAT MIGHT HAVE ITS
OWN MEDICAL PROBLEMS.
DEE DEE, THE HOSPITAL IS NOT
A CHARITABLE INSTITUTION,
NOR IS IT AN ADOPTION AGENCY.
WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT A CHILD HERE!
I THINK I KNOW THAT.
NOW RELAX. TAKE IT EASY.
I HAPPEN TO AGREE WITH YOU.
I HAPPEN TO BELIEVE
THAT YOUR JANE DOE'S PARENTS
PROBABLY WILL SHOW UP SOON.
SO... I'M GRANTING YOU
YOUR 72-HOUR INJUNCTION.
WOO WOO!
THANK YOU!
WHICH MEANS, BY THE WAY,
THE COUNTY IS FOOTING
THE BILL FOR THE 3 DAYS,
SO PLEASE, DON'T LET ME DOWN.
I WON'T.
DR. LYNCH TO RADIOLOGY.
DR. LYNCH TO RADIOLOGY.
DR. PROPER, 3 NORTH.
DR. PROPER, 3 NORTH.
WHAT'S ALL THIS?
READ IT.
IT'S A RESTRAINING ORDER
THAT PREVENTS THE HOSPITAL
FROM TAKING
INSTRUCTIONS FROM ANYONE
TO PULL THE PLUG ON JANE
DOE'S LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM
FOR AN ADDITIONAL 3 DAYS.
GOOD FOR YOU, SERGEANT.
SIT DOWN.
HAVE A STEAK.
SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH,
THEY'RE VERY GOOD HERE.
THAT'S NOT THE REACTION
YOU EXPECTED, HUH?
DID YOU THINK I WAS DROOLING
TO PULL THE PLUG ON
JANE DOE AND HER BABY?
WELL...
NO. I, UH...
I JUST THOUGHT YOU
WEREN'T VERY CONCERNED.
DO POLICE OFFICERS
INDULGE THEIR EMOTIONS
ON THEIR CASES?
NO.
ACTUALLY, WE HAVE TO
KEEP A CERTAIN DISTANCE.
BUT YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO ASSUME
THAT DOCTORS DO, TOO?
YOU KNOW, SERGEANT,
EVERYTHING I'VE DONE
SINCE I WAS 18 YEARS OLD,
I'VE DONE BECAUSE I
WANTED TO SAVE LIVES,
PRESERVE THEM WITH
DIGNITY AND COMFORT.
ALL MY INSTINCTS
MAKE ME WANT TO
DELIVER THAT CHILD
AND HAND HER OVER
TO SOMEONE WHO WILL LOVE HER
AND TAKE CARE OF HER.
BOY, I FEEL PRETTY STUPID.
GOOD. I WANT YOU TO.
YOU WANT SOME COFFEE?
UH, YEAH. THANK YOU.
I'M VERY SORRY.
I THOUGHT THAT...
YOU WERE RATHER
COLD AND CALLOUS,
AND I WAS VERY WRONG.
I'M SORRY.
YOU KNOW, WHEN I
STARTED IN MEDICINE
20 YEARS AGO,
THE WORLD WAS A LOT SIMPLER.
LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS
WERE PRIMITIVE,
AND ALL THESE COMPLEX
ETHICAL QUESTIONS
HADN'T BEEN ASKED YET.
WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS,
THE ETHICS COMMITTEE
TRIES TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
BUT WE HAVE RULES
AND REGULATIONS,
AND THE HOSPITAL OPERATES
ON A STRINGENT BUDGET
AND HAS TO OBEY THOSE RULES
AND NOT TAKE ON RESPONSIBILITIES
THAT BELONG ELSEWHERE.
SO IT WARMS ME...
WHEN SOMEBODY
LIKE YOU COMES ALONG
AND FORCES US TO DO
WHAT WE WANTED
TO IN THE FIRST PLACE.
BY THE WAY,
ANY PROGRESS FINDING
JANE DOE'S PARENTS?
WE DON'T HAVE TOO
MUCH TO GO ON...
BUT WE'RE DOING
EVERYTHING WE CAN.
WHAT WAS YOUR NAME AGAIN?
TIFFANY!
OH, YEAH. RIGHT.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR BOYFRIEND NOW?
OH! SO, ANYWAY,
I'M GOING WITH THIS
GUY NAMED TODD, RIGHT?
AND WE ARE JUST, LIKE,
REALLY, REALLY SUPER
IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER
AND EVERYTHING LIKE
THAT, AND THE ONLY PROBLEM
IS HE WORKS IN THIS
REALLY COOL CLUB,
AND ONE NIGHT, THIS,
LIKE, TOTALLY BOGUS GIRL
SHOWS UP, YOU KNOW?
AND TODD, LIKE, DUMPS
ME! COULDN'T EVEN BELIEVE
HE COULD DO SUCH A
COLD THING LIKE THAT.
AND THEN I READ IN THE NEWSPAPER
THAT THE POLICE WERE
LOOKING FOR THIS IRENE PALEVSKY
AND EVERYTHING,
SO I, LIKE, CAME RIGHT DOWN.
WHY?
WHY WHAT?
WHY DID YOU COME RIGHT DOWN?
BECAUSE, LIKE, THAT WAS
HER NAME... IRENE PALEVSKY.
OH, YEAH. RIGHT.
LIKE I'M GOING TO
FORGET HER NAME.
I MEAN, SHE TOOK MY
BOYFRIEND AWAY FROM ME,
AND THE NAME PALEVSKY
IS ABSOLUTELY BRANDED ON TO
MY MEMORY FOREVER FOR LIFE.
IS THAT HER?
OH, MY GOD. YES!
THIS FACE HAS BEEN
BRANDED ON MY MEMORY, TOO,
ONLY YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
SHE DIDN'T HAVE, LIKE,
ALL THIS HAIR AND STUFF.
LIKE, HER HAIR WHEN I SAW HER
WAS, LIKE, REALLY,
REALLY, REALLY SHORT.
IT WAS TOTALLY UGLY. IT
WAS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.
I MEAN, I WOULDN'T EVEN
WEAR MY HAIR LIKE THAT.
I WOULDN'T BE CAUGHT DEAD
WITH THAT HAIRSTYLE ON ME,
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
BUT... YES, THAT'S HER.
ONCE SHE MOVED IN ON TODD,
HE COULD NOT EVEN
REMEMBER MY FIRST NAME.
NOW, LOOK, UH, YOUR
BOYFRIEND IS TODD WHO?
MY EX-BOYFRIEND, PLEASE.
HIS NAME IS TODD LOGAN,
AND HE'S A REAL, REAL SUPER FOX,
AND HE WORKS AT THE
COSMOS CLUB ON PICO.
AND HE PLAYS GUITAR...
LEAD GUITAR, EVEN,
WITH THE STIFF SPRINGS.
HAVE YOU HEARD
THE STIFF SPRINGS?
THEY'RE A REALLY,
REALLY GOOD BAND.
UH, NOW WHEN DID
ALL THIS HAPPEN?
WITH IRENE, I MEAN.
HER SHOWING UP AND EVERYTHING.
OK. WELL, SHE, LIKE,
FIRST CAME INTO THE PICTURE,
LIKE, 9... LET'S SEE.
NO. MAYBE, LIKE, 10 WEEKS AGO.
YEAH.
BUT LISTEN, SIR,
CAN I JUST ASK YOU A
REALLY QUICK QUESTION?
IT'S KIND OF IMPORTANT.
I WAS JUST WONDERING...
IS SHE, LIKE, UM...
IS SHE, LIKE, IN TROUBLE OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW?
NOT THAT I KNOW OF, NO.
OH, GOOD. 'CAUSE, LIKE,
FOR THE LONGEST TIME,
I WAS JUST, LIKE,
TOTALLY MAD AT HER,
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M
SAYING? AND THEN ONE DAY,
I JUST WOKE UP AND I JUST
REALIZED OUT OF THE BLUE
THAT, HEY, IT'S JUST,
LIKE, SUCH BAD KARMA,
SO I SAID TO MYSELF,
"OK, TIFFANY, JUST BE BIG."
SO... I WOULDN'T WANT
ANYTHING BAD TO HAPPEN
TO HER OR ANYTHING.
HUNTER?
I GOT 3 MORE DAYS.
OH. HEY, LISTEN,
IS THAT FANTASTIC.
GOOD FOR YOU. OH, BOY.
LOOK, I HAVE TO
GET BACK TO COURT,
AND I'D LIKE TO HAVE
YOU, SWEET PEA,
TELL HER EVERYTHING
YOU JUST TOLD ME,
AND I MEAN EVERYTHING.
OK.
AND, UH, GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
AHEM.
HI. SO, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
WELL, MY NAME IS TIFFANY,
BUT, LIKE I WAS
TELLING THIS TALL MAN
THAT'S LEAVING RIGHT
NOW, UM, MY EX-BOYFRIEND,
WHO IS A REAL,
TOTAL, TOTAL BABE...
HIS NAME IS TODD
LOGAN AND EVERYTHING?
AND HE'S, LIKE, WORKING
AT THE COSMOS CLUB
ON PICO BOULEVARD,
AND IF THERE WAS A ROCK
MAGAZINE FOR GQ GUYS,
HE WOULD BE IN
IT. I SWEAR TO GOD.
TODD LOGAN HERE?
OVER THERE.
TODD LOGAN?
WHO WANTS HIM?
LOS ANGELES METROPOLITAN POLICE.
CAN WE TALK?
YEAH. SURE. JUST A MINUTE.
HEY, I'VE GOT YOUR GUITAR!
DO WE TALK, OR DO
I TRASH THIS THING?
PLEASE, LADY, BE CAREFUL.
DON'T EVEN HOLD IT LIKE THAT.
YOU COULD DROP IT.
DO WE TALK?
YEAH, YEAH.
JUST BRING IT DOWN REAL EASY.
THAT'S RIGHT.
TALK ABOUT WHAT?
ABOUT IRENE.
IRENE?
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY
SO, FOR GOD'S SAKE?
YOU KNOW, WITH IRENE GONE,
THIS IS THE ONLY
GOOD THING I GOT LEFT.
YOU GAVE ME A FULL
SCARE, YOU KNOW?
TELL ME ABOUT HER.
WE WERE TOGETHER
FOR, LIKE, 9 OR 10 WEEKS.
I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS POSSIBLE
TO FEEL LIKE THAT ABOUT A CHICK,
YOU KNOW?
THEN ONE NIGHT, WE
HEARD ON THE RADIO
THAT A GIRL NAMED
IRENE PALEVSKY'S
BEEN SHOT.
IRENE LOOKS SORT OF
SHOCKED, YOU KNOW?
I TOLD HER IT MUST
HAVE BEEN SOME SORT
OF WEIRD COINCIDENCE
OR SOMETHING, RIGHT?
THEN I WENT TO WORK.
WHEN I GOT HOME, SHE WAS GONE.
NOTHING LEFT BUT A NOTE.
WHAT'D IT SAY?
IT SAID, "I LOVE YOU.
"SOMEDAY I'LL CALL AND EXPLAIN.
DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME."
LIKE I COULD FORGET
ABOUT HER, RIGHT?
DID SHE CALL?
NO, BUT I'M WAITING.
WHAT DID IRENE DO
BEFORE SHE CAME HERE TO L.A.?
SHE SAID SHE WAS A SHOW GIRL
IN LAS VEGAS.
WE HAD THIS CHANCE
TO GO TO VEGAS TOGETHER...
A WEEKEND GIG,
ALL EXPENSES PAID, RIGHT?
SO I TELL IRENE ABOUT IT,
AND SHE GETS ALL PARANOID,
SAYS SHE NEVER WANTS
TO GO NEAR THERE.
I ASKED HER WHY,
AND SHE SAID, "DON'T ASK."
I TURNED THE WEEKEND DOWN.
ARE YOU GOING TO LOOK FOR HER?
YEAH.
WHEN YOU FIND IRENE,
WILL YOU TELL HER
I DIDN'T FORGET ABOUT HER?
TELL HER TO COME HOME.
I'LL TELL HER, TODD.
SHE'S THE BEST THING
THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
SHE WAS A SHOW GIRL
THERE 6 MONTHS AGO.
HER REAL NAME IS IRENE PALEVSKY,
BUT I DON'T THINK
SHE WAS USING IT.
I'M GOING TO SEND
YOU A PICTURE OF HER
WITH A DETECTIVE VASQUEZ.
HE'S COMING UP IN THE MORNING
WITH A PRISONER HE'S GOING
TO DELIVER TO YOU GUYS.
AND DO ME A FAVOR...
PUT A RUSH ON IT
BECAUSE WE THINK THE GIRL'S
A HIT TARGET. YEAH. THANKS.
RAY, DO ME A FAVOR...
IF HUNTER OR ANYBODY ELSE CALLS,
TELL THEM I'LL BE
AT THE HOSPITAL.
Ray: YOU GOT IT.
Man: HUNTER.
THIS MESSAGE JUST CAME IN
FOR McCALL FROM LAS VEGAS P.D.
IRENE PALEVSKY USED
THE NAME GLORIA BOUCHET.
BOUCHET DISAPPEARED
6 MONTHS AGO.
SHE CAN CALL DETECTIVE FEENEY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SURE.
HI. CAN I HELP YOU?
ARE YOU SERGEANT McCALL?
NO. I'M SERGEANT HUNTER.
SERGEANT McCALL IS MY PARTNER.
STACY COLLINS.
STACY, HOW ARE YOU?
I DROVE ALL NIGHT FROM VEGAS
AFTER THE LAST SHOW.
THE POLICE CALLED ME
AND SAID THAT SERGEANT McCALL
HAD MADE AN INQUIRY
ABOUT GLORIA BOUCHET.
HMM. YEAH.
IF THIS IS HER,
SHE'S BETTER KNOWN
HERE AS IRENE PALEVSKY.
THAT'S HER.
BUT IN VEGAS, SHE'S
JUST GLORIA BOUCHET.
SHE WAS MY ROOMMATE
AND CLOSEST FRIEND
FOR OVER 2 YEARS.
ABOUT 6 MONTHS
AGO, SHE DISAPPEARED.
NO NOTE. NO CALL.
IT WAS KIND OF LIKE
LOSING A SISTER.
I'VE BEEN SCARED TO DEATH.
IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S
GOING ON WITH HER,
COULD YOU TELL ME?
CAN I BUY YOU A CUP OF COFFEE?
SURE, IF I CAN GET
SOME BREAKFAST
TO GO ALONG WITH IT.
I KNOW JUST THE CHEF. COME ON.
APPARENTLY, SHE AND TODD
HAD A PRETTY GOOD THING GOING
UNTIL SHE GOT SCARED
AND TOOK OFF AGAIN.
THANK YOU.
DID YOU TALK TO THIS TODD LOGAN?
I DIDN'T PERSONALLY, NO.
MY PARTNER SERGEANT
McCALL DID, THOUGH.
THAT'S HOW WE FOUND OUT
SHE'D BEEN IN LAS VEGAS.
AND THAT'S ALL THIS TODD LOGAN
COULD TELL YOU?
WELL, HE MIGHT KNOW MORE,
BUT THAT'S ALL
WE'VE GOT FOR NOW.
WHERE CAN I FIND HIM? WHY?
WELL, BECAUSE PEOPLE TELL COPS
ONLY WHAT COPS ASK.
PEOPLE TELL SHOW
GIRLS EVERYTHING.
YOU KNOW, YOU'D MAKE
A PRETTY GOOD COP.
BUT YOU'D MAKE A
LOUSY SHOW GIRL.
OH.
I DO MY HOMEWORK, DEE DEE.
THAT 3-DAY EXTENSION
I GRANTED YOU
COST THE COUNTY $13,750,
AND YOU'RE NO CLOSER
TO FINDING YOUR JANE DOE
THAN YOU WERE THEN.
BUT WE ARE. EVERY
DAY THAT THOSE PARENTS
DON'T HEAR FROM THAT GIRL,
THAT'S ANOTHER DAY
CLOSER THEY COME
TO REPORTING HER MISSING.
EVERY POLICE DEPARTMENT
HERE AND IN CANADA
HAS A PHYSICAL
DESCRIPTION OF HER
AND A COPY OF HER DENTAL X-RAYS.
PLEASE, JUST EXTEND
THE INJUNCTION
A FEW MORE HOURS.
JUST 48 HOURS, 24 HOURS.
WHAT ABOUT THE COST OF
KEEPING YOUR JANE DOE ALIVE?
BE PRACTICAL A MOMENT, PLEASE.
PRACTICAL? WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT A CHILD.
WHAT IF THE CHILD IS BORN
WITH SERIOUS DEFECTS?
PEOPLE LOOKING FOR BABIES,
THEY WANT TO KNOW
WHAT THEY'RE GETTING.
LISTEN TO ME. I HAPPEN TO THINK
THAT CHILD IS GOING
TO BE VERY HEALTHY
WHEN IT'S BORN.
WITH A HOLE IN ITS HEART?
I'VE DONE MY HOMEWORK, TOO.
ONE OUT OF EVERY 10 UNBORNS
HAS THIS PROBLEM AT 6 MONTHS.
THE HOLE USUALLY
SEALS UP SHORTLY BEFORE
OR RIGHT AFTER BIRTH.
THAT MAY BE TRUE, DEE DEE...
BUT THE HOSPITAL WON'T
ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY,
NOR WILL ANYONE ELSE.
BYRON, JUST LISTEN TO ME
FOR A MINUTE, ALL RIGHT?
IF NO ONE ELSE IS GOING
TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THAT BABY, THEN I WILL.
JUST WAIT A MINUTE.
I'VE GIVEN THIS A LOT OF
THOUGHT. I REALLY HAVE.
NOW, I THINK THAT BABY'S
GOING TO BE NORMAL,
AND I'M WILLING TO
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
WILL YOU HELP ME?
I'M GOING TO PROTECT
YOU FROM YOURSELF.
I'M GOING TO GRANT YOU
ONE MORE 24-HOUR EXTENSION.
USE THE TIME TO THINK IT OVER.
AFTER THAT, IF YOU
STILL WANT TO DO IT,
I'LL GET THE BALL ROLLING TO
APPOINT YOU HER GUARDIAN.
THANKS.
Hunter: IT JUST SEEMS SO FUNNY.
MOST WOMEN HAVE 9 MONTHS
TO PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR THIS.
I MEAN, IT'S VIRTUALLY
HAPPENED TO YOU OVERNIGHT.
YOU KNOW, WHAT
IF... WHAT IF THE BABY
COMES INTO THIS WORLD WITH A...
A BIRTH DEFECT?
A BIRTH DEFECT. YEAH.
I KNOW THE ODDS. I KNOW
THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
I KNOW THAT IT COULD HAPPEN,
BUT TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH...
I FEEL INSIDE THAT IT WON'T.
I REALLY, REALLY DO.
AND EVEN IF IT DOES, THAT
IS ALL THE MORE REASON
THAT I WILL NEED TO BE
THERE FOR THAT BABY.
WELL, YEAH. I MEAN,
I UNDERSTAND THAT.
WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS,
IS THAT YOUR DECISION ABOUT THIS
IS BASED ON FACT AND REALITY,
NOT ON EMOTION AND CIRCUMSTANCE.
WELL, EMOTION AND CIRCUMSTANCE
OBVIOUSLY DO ENTER INTO THIS,
BUT HERE ARE THE FACTS...
THAT BABY NEEDS A
PARENT DESPERATELY.
NOW, I CAN FILL THAT NEED.
WHAT'S MORE IS, I WANT TO.
NOW, I AM MOVING CAREFULLY.
I AM MOVING DELIBERATELY.
I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS
FOR A LONG TIME.
RICK, YOU KNOW I WANT KIDS.
YEAH.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S
VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.
AND... I FEEL READY.
I REALLY DO.
LET ME PLAY DEVIL'S ADVOCATE
WITH YOU HERE ON ONE SUBJECT.
WHAT IF SOMEBODY STEPS FORWARD
AND PUTS A CLAIM ON THAT CHILD?
WELL, THEN I WILL
HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT
IF AND WHEN IT
HAPPENS, BUT TILL IT DOES,
I'M ALL THAT THAT
BABY HAS, AND I KNOW IT.
I CAN'T TURN MY BACK
ON THAT. COULD YOU?
YOU'RE PRETTY CLEAR
ABOUT ALL THIS, AREN'T YOU?
YEAH.
YEAH.
I LIKE YOU.

HEY, I'M A COP, FOR GOD'S SAKES.
LAS VEGAS P.D.
MY BADGE IS IN MY
RIGHT JACKET POCKET.
WHERE'S YOUR GUN?
LEFT SIDE.
OK, SERGEANT RONCOE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
FOLLOWING THIS LADY?
I'M ON A CASE. MISS
COLLINS IS INVOLVED.
WHAT CASE IS THAT?
THE STRAUBER
MURDER IN LAS VEGAS.
HER ROOMMATE GLORIA
BOUCHET WAS AN EYEWITNESS.
WELL, USUALLY WHEN
A POLICE OFFICER
FROM ANOTHER JURISDICTION
COMES IN TO WORK
ON ONE OF OUR
CASES, THEY NOTIFY US.
I JUST GOT IN TOWN
EARLY THIS MORNING.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE HER.
Stacy: I DON'T KNOW
HOW YOU FOUND ME,
AND I'M NOT SO SURE
I WANT TO KNOW.
ALL THIS IS MAKING
ME KIND OF NERVOUS.
I WONDER IF YOU
OR SERGEANT McCALL
COULD FOLLOW ME
BACK TO MY HOTEL.
SURE. UH,
THIS IS MY PARTNER
SERGEANT McCALL.
SHE'LL TAKE YOU TO THE PRECINCT,
WHERE YOU CAN MEET
OUR CAPTAIN DEVANE.
HE'LL SHOW YOU OUR CASE FILE.
MUCH OBLIGED.
SERGEANT, SHALL WE?
HEY, THERE'S SOMETHING
FISHY ABOUT THIS GUY.
YEAH? WHAT'S THAT?
THE STRAUBER MURDER.
IF GLORIA WAS AN EYEWITNESS,
SHE NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT IT,
AND THE POLICE NEVER CAME AROUND
TO ASK EITHER ONE
OF US ANY QUESTIONS.
YEAH? OK. COME HERE.
HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO.
I WANT YOU TO GO BACK
TO YOUR HOTEL, CHECK OUT,
AND CHECK INTO ANOTHER HOTEL.
YOU GOT THAT?
AFTER YOU DO, LET ME
KNOW WHERE YOU ARE.
AND YOU'LL KEEP ME POSTED?
YES, I WILL.
YEAH. LAS VEGAS, PLEASE.
THE NUMBER OF THE LAS
VEGAS POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Ray: McCALL, WE'VE
BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU.
GOT A COUPLE OF
MESSAGES FOR YOU.
DR. SCHNEIDER CALLED.
YOUR JANE DOE HAS TOXEMIA.
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
TAKE THE BABY BY C-SECTION
AS SOON AS THEY'VE
GOT AN AVAILABLE O.R.
AND A CALL FROM TODD LOGAN.
SAID HE HEARD FROM IRENE.
SHE'S GOING TO BE
STAYING AT A FRIEND'S HOUSE
IN MALIBU CANYON.
HE LEFT AN ADDRESS.
HERE IT IS, AND THAT'S A 6.
RAY, I LOVE YOU.
DO ME A FAVOR, WILL YOU?
THIS IS DETECTIVE
SERGEANT NICK RONCOE
WITH VEGAS P.D.
HE NEEDS TO TALK
TO CAPTAIN DEVANE
AND PROBABLY GET
A LOOK AT THIS FILE.
SHOW HIM AROUND, WILL YOU?
YOU GOT IT.
I'M NOT GOING FAR.
I'LL BE BACK BEFORE
CLOSING TIME.
SURE. THANKS.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE CAPTAIN'S
IN WITH SOMEONE RIGHT NOW.
I'LL JUST CHECK
WITH THE SECRETARY
AND LET HIM KNOW
WE GOT TO SEE HIM.
OK.
RAY, WHERE'S McCALL?
Ray: HUNTER, SHE
LEFT HERE LIKE A SHOT
JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO.
SHE WENT TO THE
HOSPITAL, I THINK.
YOU KNOW, SHE WANTED ME
TO INTRODUCE THE CAPTAIN
TO THIS VEGAS COP,
BUT THE GUY'S NOT
WHERE I LEFT HIM.
LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY.
THAT GUY IS NOT A COP.
YOU GOT THAT,
RAY? HE IS NOT A COP.
THINK HARD. WHERE DID HE GO?
SHE LEFT A FILE ON
HER DESK. IT'S GONE.
THERE WAS A MESSAGE IN IT
THAT I TOOK FOR HER
FROM A TODD LOGAN,
SOMETHING ABOUT IRENE
AND A HOUSE IN MALIBU CANYON.
I REMEMBER THE ADDRESS.
IT WAS 316 TERRA COTTA WAY.
OK. GREAT. LISTEN
VERY CAREFULLY.
HAVE McCALL PAGED
AT THE HOSPITAL,
THE O.B. WARD.
TELL McCALL THAT I
TALKED TO VEGAS POLICE.
THEY TOLD ME THAT RONCOE
HAS NOT BEEN A POLICE OFFICER
FOR OVER 6 MONTHS. YOU GOT THAT?
ALSO, GIVE HER THE
INFORMATION YOU JUST GAVE ME
AND TELL HER I'M ON MY WAY TO
THAT LOCATION, CODE 3. GOT IT?
GOT IT.
McCall: YOU MEAN IN
THE OPERATING ROOM?
SERGEANT McCALL, YOU MAY BE
THE FIRST MOTHER STANDING BY
AT THE DELIVERY OF HER OWN BABY.
SERGEANT McCALL, YOU
HAVE AN URGENT CALL
FROM YOUR HEADQUARTERS.
WE START THE
PROCEDURE AT 6 P.M. SHARP.
I'LL BE THERE.
THANK YOU.
YEAH. THIS IS McCALL.
RAY, I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH.
YEAH. I GOT IT. TERRA COTTA WAY.
RIGHT. THANK YOU.
CAN I MAKE A CALL FROM HERE?
SURE. DIAL 9.
TODD, LISTEN TO ME. CALL IRENE,
TELL HER TO GET OUT OF
THAT HOUSE RIGHT NOW.
YOU STAY WHERE YOU
ARE. WE'LL CALL YOU.
COME ON. GET THE BALL.
SPEAK! SPEAK!
ALL RIGHT! GOOD
DOG. OK. GET THE BALL.
ALL RIGHT! GOOD DOG!
ALL RIGHT! GOOD DOG!

YEAH. I'M FINE. THANKS.
HUNTER?

YEAH. WE'RE FINE.
THIS IS IRENE. THIS IS DEE DEE.
HI.
HI. I WANT TO GET
BACK TO THE HOSPITAL.
THEY'RE TAKING THE
BABY. I WANT TO BE THERE.
GET GOING. I'LL SEE YOU THERE.
YOU KNOW THIS GUY?
GUY'S NAME IS NICK RONCOE.
YEAH. I SAW HIM KILL A
MAN NAMED STRAUBER.
LET'S CALL YOUR MOTHER.
OH, COME HERE!
COME HERE! LOOKIT. LOOK AT THAT.
IS SHE BEAUTIFUL? SHE'S SO TINY.
BOY, SHE'S TERRIFIC.
OH, SHE'S GORGEOUS.
LOOK AT THAT LITTLE FACE.
SHE'S GREAT.
OH, SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.
WHAT? WHAT?
WELL, I WENT BACK
TO THE PRECINCT
AND RAN INTO MIKE HARRISON,
WHO WAS AT MY DESK.
HE FOUND JANE DOE'S NEXT OF KIN.
THEY'RE FARMERS FROM WISCONSIN.
IT'S FOR THE BEST, RIGHT?
OHH.
YEAH. I GUESS. YEAH.
