Renegade (1992–1997): Season 4, Episode 12 - No Place Like Home - full transcript
Bobby and Cheyenne get commissioned to escort a convicted sex offender to a new location. Although they are not crazy about the job, they feel it is an easy payday at first. This theory is short lived, as they run into trouble everywhere they go, especially when a new series of rapes starts. This case is of particular interest to Reno, as he sympathizes with the man's outcast treatment. He even goes so far as to start believing the man is innocent. Reno does his own investigation to find the truth, as well as get the current rapist off the streets.
Live from police headquarters,
where sheriff's deputies
delivered serial rapist
Ted Fisher
to begin serving his parole.
Fisher was convicted
of a particularly brutal
string of rapes
in the Eastern Sierra
eight years ago
and is due to take up residence
in Red Bluff
despite threats
and local opposition.
Tension is running high.
SEE FOR YOURSELF, MR. FISHER.
THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO WAY
I CAN GUARANTEE YOUR SAFETY.
THEY'LL HAVE TO FIND
YOU ANOTHER HOME.
I'M REAL, REAL SORRY.
OH, YEAH, I'LL JUST BET YOU ARE.
AND THEY SAID
THIRD TIME WOULD BE THE CHARM.
THEY'LL FIND YOU ANOTHER HOME.
CALIFORNIA'S
A BIG STATE.
YOU WOULDN'T BE UP FOR
REELECTION THIS YEAR, SHERIFF.
WHY DO YOU ASK?
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S IMPORTANT
TO GIVE YOUR CONSTITUENTS
WHAT THEY WANT.
YOU KICK ME OUT OF
RED BLUFF, YOU MIGHT
JUST GET REELECTED FOR LIFE.
CALL TEHACHAPI.
TELL THEM TO SEND SOMEONE
TO PICK UP MR. FISHER.
HEY...
I LIKE A MAN
WHO CAN MAKE TOUGH CHOICES.
HE WAS A COP
AND GOOD AT HIS JOB
BUT HE COMMITTED
THE ULTIMATE SIN
AND TESTIFIED AGAINST
OTHER COPS GONE BAD--
COPS THAT TRIED TO KILL HIM
BUT GOT THE WOMAN
HE LOVED INSTEAD.
FRAMED FOR MURDER,
NOW HE PROWLS THE BADLANDS
AN OUTLAW HUNTING OUTLAWS
A BOUNTY HUNTER
A RENEGADE.
ONE MINUTE-- I'M GIVING
HIM ONE MORE MINUTE
AND THEN I'M
OUT OF HERE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
COFFEE NOT STRONG ENOUGH
THIS MORNING?
HIS HIGHNESS
CALLS, SAYS IT'S
DOUBLE URGENT,
I RUSH TO GET HERE
AND HE'S A NO SHOW.
I'M OUT BREAKFAST
AND A SHOWER.
POOR BABY.
I'LL BE BACK WHEN I'M HUMAN.
NOT SO FAST,
YOUNG MAN.
PUT MY CUP DOWN.
WELCOME TO
THE PACIFIC TIME ZONE.
THANK YOU.
MOUNT UP BECAUSE WE'RE GOING
TO MAKE A LITTLE DELIVERY.
SINCE WHEN
ARE WE IN
THE COURIER BUSINESS?
SINCE THE TEN GRAND FEE.
FOR WHAT?
STATE TRIED TO DELIVER
TED FISHER
TO HIS NEW HOME
AND HAD NO LUCK.
YOU BET NO LUCK
BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN
RUN OUT OF TOWN EVERY TIME.
EXACTLY WHY WE GOT
THE JOB, FRIEND.
YOU'RE HELPING
THAT SLEAZE FISHER
WITH HIS PAROLE PLACEMENT?
NO, I'M GOING TO HELP US
WITH OUR BANK BALANCE.
WHY DON'T YOU SAVE
YOURSELF THE TROUBLE
AND LET ME HANDLE FISHER?
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO.
OW.
THIS IS THE INFAMOUS
LAKE TAHOE RAPIST
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, ISN'T IT?
20 TIMES
IN TWO YEARS?
IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE FILE.
DO YOU WATCH THE NEWS?
THREE TOWNS HAVE FORCIBLY
REJECTED THIS SLUG.
WHICH IS WHY
THE STATE
IS SO MAGNANIMOUS ABOUT OUR FEE.
WHAT IF WORD ABOUT THIS
GETS OUT?
THAT'S THE KEY--
WE KEEP IT TOP SECRET, RIGHT?
WE SLIDE DISCREETLY INTO
THE DESIGNATED HOMETOWN
WE DROP OFF MR. "F"
WITH HIS PAROLE OFFICER
THEN WE KIND OF LIKE
DIG IT OUT THE BACK ROADS
BEFORE YOU CAN SAY...
Both:
EASIEST TEN GRAND WE EVER MADE.
EXCUSE ME, YOU SEE,
THIS GENTLEMEN HAS ALREADY PAID
HIS DEBT TO SOCIETY.
OH, PLEASE.
BOB, DON'T PUT
A SUIT ON IT, OKAY?
ON SECOND THOUGHT,
I SAY WE GO FOR IT.
OH, REALLY.
WITH ALL THOSE PEOPLE
OUT THERE WHO HATE HIM
IT'S MORE DANGEROUS
IF HE'S OUT ON PAROLE.
MAYBE HE'LL HAVE AN...
UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.
SIR?
MA'AM.
THANK YOU.
WELL, I HOPE YOU'RE
UP FOR THIS.
Bobby:
WE CAN HANDLE IT.
BUT THE QUESTION
ON EVERYBODY ELSE'S MINDS IS
CAN YOU?
TOUCHE, MR. SIXKILLER.
SOMETHING WRONG?
NOT A DAMN THING.
WHAT?
WERE YOU EXPECTING
SOME DROOLING,
PANTING HALF-WIT?
I'M SURE YOU WON'T
DISAPPOINT US.
( chuckling )
RIGHT.
WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?
PICKING UP AN ESCORT--
GOT A PROBLEM?
YEAH, I DON'T LIKE SURPRISES.
NEITHER DO WE.
PARTNER.
EVERYTHING OKAY?
JUST LIKE CLOCKWORK.
TED FISHER. AND YOU ARE..?
VINCE BLACK.
VINCE BLACK.
HEARD YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE
FINDING A HOME.
PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO BE
AS HOSPITABLE
AS THEY ONCE WERE--
MUST BE THE TIMES.
COFFEE BREAK'S OVER, PAL
SO GET BACK ON THE BUS.
( chuckling ):
EXCUSE ME, BUT UNLESS
I'M MISSING SOMETHING,
I'M A FREE MAN.
OUR TRUCK, OUR RULES.
OKAY, FINE.
AS LONG AS YOU PUT THEM
ON ME YOURSELF.
OH, THAT'S NICE.
WHAT IS THAT?
COCONUT SHAMPOO?
SHUT UP.
JUST... PLAYING
BY THE RULES.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO EAT?
CHEESEBURGER AND
A CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE, PLEASE.
SHORTEN YOUR LIFE.
WE WOULDN'T WANT THAT,
WOULD WE?
YOU GOT HIM, SIS?
I GOT HIM.
LET ME SEE THOSE CUFFS.
DON'T GO AWAY.
I'LL COUNT THE SECONDS.
HELLO?
GOT ANY
DIET DRINKS?
HEY, THEY GOT...
WELL, I'LL BE DAMNED.
IF IT AIN'T
THE BY-GOD LAKE TAHOE RAPIST.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
IN MY TERRITORY?
MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS.
IF I REMEMBER,
YOU LIKE TYING YOUR VICTIMS UP.
REAL MANLY.
LOOK, WHY DON'T YOU
JUST GIVE ME A BREAK?
THEY SHOULD HAVE
CUT YOUR STONES
AND HAD YOU LOCKED UP.
DAMN PERVERT!
BACK OFF!
( grunting )
YOU MAKE IT TOUGH
FOR REGULAR GUYS
WHO WOMEN ARE THINKING
ARE ALL LIKE YOU.
YOU SCUM. YOU...
UH-UH-UH, NO, NO...
( grunting )
( groans )
EH, MY NOSE...
OH, GOD, YOU BROKE
MY DAMN NOSE.
THAT'S WHAT YOU GET
FOR STICKING IT
WHERE IT DON'T BELONG.
GET THE HELL
OUT OF HERE.
HEY.
YOU OKAY?
YEAH, I'M PERFECT, THANKS.
WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GET
THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD
BEFORE OUR HANDS
GET REALLY FULL?
OH, RELAX.
REMEMBER?
Reno and Cheyenne:
"EASIEST TEN GRAND
WE'VE EVER MADE."
RIGHT THERE.
YOU GOT ANY PLANS, FISHER?
WHY SHOULD I HAVE ANY PLANS?
YOU SPENT EIGHT YEARS THINKING
ABOUT LIFE AFTER PRISON.
ISN'T THAT WHAT
INMATES THINK ABOUT?
WELL, I THINK I'LL...
MAKE MY PAROLE APPOINTMENTS
DRINK A FEW MILKSHAKES
AND KEEP A VERY LOW PROFILE.
THINK YOU'RE UP TO IT?
THE STATISTICS ON REHABILITATION
OF CAREER RAPISTS SHOW THAT...
I'M INNOCENT.
OH, PLEASE.
DO I HAVE TO CUFF AND GAG YOU?
I DIDN'T DO IT. I'M INNOCENT.
LOOK, I DON'T EXPECT YOU
TO BELIEVE ME--
NOBODY ELSE HAS--
BUT I JUST SPENT
EIGHT YEARS OF MY LIFE
DOING TIME WHILE SOME RAPIST
WALKED AROUND FREE ON MY TICKET.
THE NATIVE AMERICAN
INDIAN JUDGE SAYS THAT'S A 9.5.
WHAT ABOUT YOU, CHEY?
THE CONTENT'S NOT ORIGINAL...
AND YOU GET
ZERO POINTS FOR STYLE.
I DON'T REALLY GIVE A DAMN
WHAT YOU THINK
BUT SOMEBODY OUGHT
TO CONSIDER THE REAL RAPIST
BECAUSE I'M OUT NOW,
AND THAT MEANS
HE GETS A NEW FREE PASS.
NOW, THAT'S... ORIGINAL.
I'M GOING TO BED.
( sighs )
YEAH, THAT'S A...
THAT'S A TOUGH PAIR
OF PARTNERS YOU GOT.
WELL, SENTIMENTALITY
ISN'T IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I KEEP MY OPINIONS TO MYSELF.
HAVE YOU EVER READ ABOUT...
WHAT THIS GUY DOES
TO HIS VICTIMS?
WELL, FIRST HE
KNOCKS THEM AROUND A WHILE.
THEN HE TIES THEM UP
WITH THEIR OWN STOCKINGS.
HE'S A SMOKER.
HE LIKES TO WORK
WITH A CIGARETTE.
HE'S ONE SICK BASTARD.
I'LL TELL YOU, WOMEN
ARE RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING.
WHATEVER IT IS...
RAPE IS DEFINITELY NOT SEX.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT
IF PEOPLE THOUGHT YOU DID THAT?
NO, THANKS.
BUT WHAT IF YOU'RE INNOCENT?
EIGHT YEARS OF HELL...
FOR SOMETHING YOU NEVER DID--
YOUR ENTIRE LIFE
TURNED UPSIDE DOWN
BECAUSE OF SOME
DAMN POLICE FOUL-UP.
WHY ARE YOU
TELLING ME THIS, TED?
'CAUSE UNTIL SOMEBODY
FINDS THAT BASTARD...
I'LL NEVER HAVE A LIFE...
NO MATTER WHERE
THEY TRY AND BURY ME.
( angry shouting )
DAMN.
SON OF A...
HOW THE HELL..?
NICE.
DON'T SAY IT.
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
WE'RE GONNA SAY?
I'M NOT HEARING IT.
HEAR WHAT?
"EASIEST TEN GRAND... "
WE'VE BEEN MADE, BOYS.
LET'S DO IT.
LET HIM GO!
OUR DAUGHTERS... WILL NOT...
WILL NOT LIVE IN FEAR!
WELL, YOU CERTAINLY DID
YOUR DUTY.
I WON'T LAST A WEEK.
AW...
YOU JUST SIGNED
MY DEATH WARRANT.
LISTEN, WE'LL
TAKE IT FROM HERE.
GOOD LUCK.
A WEEK, YOU HEAR ME?
LET'S GO.
SHERIFF, BOBBY SIXKILLER.
I'M HERE DELIVERING
MR. FISHER
SO HE CAN START
BEGINNING HIS PAROLE.
WELCOME TO BISHOP,
MR. SIXKILLER.
SHERIFF DAN MACKIE.
MY SISTER, CHEYENNE,
AND HERE YOU GO.
TED FISHER?
THIS IS
KAREN WALKER--
STATE CORRECTIONS
OFFICER
IN CHARGE OF
MR. FISHER'S CASE.
MY, WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
WATCH IT, TED.
( crowd yelling and jeering )
FRANK, LOCK THE DOOR.
YOUR FIRST PAROLE MEETING
IS TOMORROW AT 5:00 P.M.
DON'T BE LATE.
WEAR A TIE.
YES, MA'AM.
DON'T DISS ME, MR. FISHER.
YOUR PSYCHIATRIST MAY THINK
YOU'RE REHABILITATED.
I'M THE FIRST PERSON
YOU'LL HAVE TO CONVINCE OF THAT.
LOOKS LIKE WE'RE
DONE HERE, SIS.
YOU WILL CALL THE STATE?
WE'LL WIRE YOUR PAYMENT
WITHIN 24 HOURS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND...
GOOD RIDDANCE.
MR. SIXKILLER, WHY DON'T YOUR
FOLKS TAKE THE BACK ENTRANCE?
EXCELLENT IDEA.
HASTA LA VISTA.
HEY.
NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
WELL, THIS
SURE HAS BEEN
A VERY SPECIAL
EXPERIENCE.
SURE NICE TO BE APPRECIATED
FOR A JOB WELL DONE.
OKAY, YOU TWO WERE RIGHT;
I WAS WRONG.
WHAT DO YOU SAY
WE HIT THE TRAIL?
CHALK THIS UP
TO HISTORY.
I CAN'T DO THAT.
Cheyenne:
UH-OH.
HE'S GOT THAT LOOK.
WHAT LOOK?
THAT WHAT-IF-TED-FISHER-
REALLY-IS-INNOCENT LOOK.
Bobby:
GREAT, RENO.
WHAT HAPPENS IF HE'S GUILTY?
SOMETIMES GUILTY GUYS
ARE REALLY GUILTY.
THAT'S MY POINT--
EITHER WAY I'VE GOT TO STAY.
WHAT FOR?
SAY FISHER'S
INNOCENT.
IF I DON'T STAY,
THE TOWN MIGHT HANG HIM.
AND IF HE'S GUILTY?
IF HE IS, SOMEBODY'S GOT
TO PROTECT THESE PEOPLE.
WHY DO YOU MAKE THINGS
SO COMPLICATED?
I'LL BE BACK IN A FEW DAYS.
COME ON, LET'S GO.
AND YOU... KEEP A LOW PROFILE.
CALL ME THE INVISIBLE MAN.
GOOD LUCK.
HOW WAS EVERYTHING?
TERRIFIC.
THAT'S YOUR BIKE OUT FRONT,
ISN'T IT?
YEAH.
BECKY NOTTINGHAM.
HI, BECKY. I'M VINCE BLACK.
MUST BE WONDERFUL JUST TO GET
IN THE WIND AND TAKE OFF
WHENEVER YOU WANT TO.
WELL, I GUESS
IT HAS IT'S ADVANTAGES.
I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE MYSELF
WHEN I GET THE
MONEY TOGETHER.
WHERE YOU GOING?
SAN JOSE.
MY COUSIN OWNS THIS HAIR SALON
AND SHE SAYS IF I
GO TO BEAUTY SCHOOL
I COULD HAVE MY OWN STATION.
SURE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO MISS
A NICE PLACE LIKE THIS?
ARE YOU KIDDING?
THAT RAPIST COMING HERE?
HE IS THE BIGGEST THING
TO HAPPEN IN THIS TOWN
IN AT LEAST EIGHT YEARS.
IF YOU ASK ME,
THAT'S PRETTY SICK.
ORDER'S UP.
WELL, I'LL SEE YOU.
BYE.
BYE.
HEY, AREN'T YOU
ONE OF THOSE GUYS
THAT BROUGHT FISHER UP
FROM RED BLUFF?
NOPE.
YEAH, YOU ARE.
WHAT WAS HE LIKE?
I DON'T REMEMBER.
SURE, YOU DO.
Karen:
YOUR PSYCHIATRIST NOTED
THAT YOU TRACE THE SOURCE
OF YOUR PROBLEMS BACK
TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH YOUR MOTHER.
THAT'S A LITTLE PAT,
ISN'T IT?
MAYBE.
ON THE OTHER HAND...
SHE DID USED TO LOCK ME
IN HER BEDROOM CLOSET
WHEN HER BOYFRIENDS
CAME OVER--
MAKE ME LISTEN.
HOW OLD WERE YOU
WHEN SHE DID THAT?
OH, THREE OR
FOUR, I THINK
WHEN IT FIRST
STARTED--
AROUND 11 WHEN I REALIZED
I WAS STRONGER THAN SHE WAS.
SINCE YOUR INCARCERATION
YOU THINK YOUR ATTITUDE
TOWARDS WOMEN HAS CHANGED?
AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF THERAPY?
GEE, I CERTAINLY HOPE SO.
YOU EVER FANTASIZE
ABOUT YOUR VICTIMS?
WHAT VICTIMS?
YOU EVER DREAM ABOUT THEM?
THERE ARE NO VICTIMS.
YOU EVER DREAM ABOUT SEX?
GETTING A LITTLE PERSONAL,
AREN'T WE?
ANSWER THE QUESTION.
OKAY...
YEAH, I DREAM ABOUT SEX.
WHAT MAN DOESN'T?
BUT, NO, SORRY, MY DREAMS
DO NOT INCLUDE VIOLENCE.
SO HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT WOMEN NOW?
SAME WAY YOU'D FEEL
IF YOU HADN'T HAD ONE
FOR EIGHT YEARS.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO
FOR RELAXATION?
I WATCH...
COURT T.V. AND A LOT OF
MOVIES.
WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE ACTRESS?
JODY FOSTER.
FAVORITE FILM.
THE ACCUSED.
MR. FISHER, PLEASE.
ISN'T THAT WHAT
YOU WANT TO HEAR?!
THAT'S NOT THE POINT.
LOOK... DO YOU HAVE
ANY IDEA HOW MANY TIMES
I'VE BEEN ASKED THESE QUESTIONS?
I MEAN, SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW,
I CHANGE THE ANSWERS
JUST SO I DON'T GET BORED.
MR. FISHER...
LOOK, MS. WALKER...
I'LL MAKE YOU A DEAL.
YOU TELL ME
WHAT YOU WANT
ME TO SAY
AND I'LL SAY
IT, OKAY?
IT'S SIMPLE, IT'S CLEAN.
IT'LL SAVE US BOTH
A LOT OF TIME.
I DON'T WANT AN ACT.
I WANT TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE
AND WHAT YOUR PROBLEMS ARE
SO I CAN HELP YOU LIVE
IN THIS COMMUNITY.
YOU'RE SERIOUS.
DEAD SERIOUS. YOUR TIME IS UP.
YOU'LL SEE ME TUESDAYS
AND FRIDAYS AT 10:00 A.M.
WHAT IF, UM...
WHAT IF THAT ISN'T ENOUGH?
EXCUSE ME?
I MEAN, WHAT IF I, YOU KNOW
WANT TO SEE YOU...
FIVE TIMES A WEEK?
I'LL MAKE THAT DECISION.
OKAY.
WELL, MAKE THIS ONE...
HAVE DINNER WITH ME TONIGHT.
YOUR TIME IS UP.
NO PROBLEM.
HEY, I'M PATIENT.
I CAN WAIT.
CAN I HELP?
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
ONE OF THE TEAM WHO DELIVERED
TED FISHER-- VINCE BLACK.
I DIDN'T SEE YOU.
I WAS OUTSIDE
WHEN THEY TOOK HIM INSIDE.
THE WELCOMING COMMITTEE
WAS JUST A LITTLE OVERWROUGHT.
YOU KNOW. YOU SURE I CAN'T...
NO, NO.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT FISHER.
I'M SORRY.
I'M NOT PERMITTED TO.
ON THE WAY OVER HERE,
HE CLAIMED HE DIDN'T DO IT.
SAID IT WAS A SETUP.
YOU BELIEVE THAT.
DIDN'T SAY THAT.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
I'D LIKE YOUR OPINION.
HE'S A SLEAZEBAG,
HE MAKES MY SKIN CRAWL
AND FRANKLY, MR. BLACK,
SO DO YOU.
SO I WOULD
APPRECIATE IT
IF YOU WOULD GET
OFF MY PROPERTY
SO I CAN ENJOY
A FEW MOMENTS
OF A PRIVATE LIFE.
ABSOLUTELY.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
MM-HMM.
Waitress:
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE?
HOW'S THE TUNA FISH
SANDWICH?
FINE, IF YOU LIKE TUNA.
OKAY.
YOU KNOW, ON SECOND THOUGHT
I THINK I'LL HAVE
TODAY'S SPECIAL.
THAT'LL BE 4.69.
OKAY.
UM...
DO YOU HAVE CHANGE
FOR A HUNDRED?
YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING
HOW MUCH MONEY
YOU CAN SAVE
WHEN YOU DON'T TOUCH
YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
FOR EIGHT YEARS.
I CHECKED MY PASSBOOK
THIS MORNING--
$70,000.
THAT'S WORTH CELEBRATING,
DON'T YOU THINK?
HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?
MY PAROLE OFFICER
TURNED ME DOWN.
ARE YOU FREE FOR DINNER?
I GUESS NOT.
THAT'S A SHAME.
BYE.
FISHER?
WHY ARE YOU
STILL IN TOWN?
OH, THE CHARMS
OF A SMALL TOWN...
ACTUALLY, I WAS IN THERE,
AND I SAW WHAT HAPPENED.
I GUESS THAT'S THEIR WAY
OF MAKING YOU FEEL WELCOME.
WOMEN IN THIS TOWN
ARE SCARED.
THEY SHOULD BE--
ONE OF THEM'S NEXT.
FISHER...
MAN, LOOK,
I DON'T MEAN ME.
I'M TALKING ABOUT
THE REAL GUY, THE
ONE STILL OUT THERE
THE ONE WHO'S
BEEN WAITING.
RAPE IS A CRIME OF IMPULSE.
NOBODY WITH THAT KIND
OF ANGER
COULD POSSIBLY HOLD
IT IN FOR EIGHT YEARS.
HIS PSYCH PROFILE
WAS MINE--
OFFICIALLY, THAT IS.
I MEMORIZED IT WHILE
I WAS IN THE JOINT.
HELL, MAN,
I OBSESSED ON IT.
WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT THE PSYCHOTIC
WHO YOU WERE
SERVING TIME FOR?
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO HE IS?
ONLY HIS MIND,
UNFORTUNATELY.
YOU KNOW, BUT SOMETIMES,
I GET THIS FEELING
THAT I, I DON'T KNOW,
I'VE SEEN HIM
OR THAT MAYBE I EVEN
KNOW HIM SLIGHTLY.
HE KNOWS ENOUGH ABOUT YOU
TO SET YOU UP LIKE HE DID.
YEAH, AND NOW HE'S HERE.
IN BISHOP?
TRUST ME.
I CAN FEEL HIM.
Becky:
CLOSING TIME.
SORRY.
TELL ME SOMETHING, BECKY.
YOU'RE NOT OLD ENOUGH
TO REMEMBER
TED FISHER'S CRIMES,
ARE YOU?
YOU BET I AM.
I WAS 14.
FOR THE WHOLE YEAR
BEFORE THEY CAUGHT HIM
HE WAS HEADLINE
NEWS-- EVEN HERE.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW,
TAHOE'S 200 MILES AWAY
BUT IT SURE FELT
LIKE HE WAS RIGHT
IN OUR OWN BACKYARD.
MAN, HE GAVE ME
THE WORST NIGHTMARES.
I CAN IMAGINE.
MY GIRLFRIEND
REY'S PARENTS
THEY INVITED ME
TO THE LAKE
FOR TWO WEEKS
THAT SUMMER.
AND MY MOM WAS TOO
AFRAID TO LET ME GO.
YOU SOUND LIKE IT
JUST HAPPENED YESTERDAY.
HMM.
( chuckles ):
MAN HE SCARED
THE DAYLIGHTS
OUT OF JANE TODAY.
I THINK IT
WAS HIS EYES.
OH, YOU'RE NOT
THE ONLY ONE
ASKING ABOUT HIM.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
SOME GUY CAME IN HERE EARLIER,
ASKING A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF.
WHAT'D HE LOOK LIKE?
HE WAS PRETTY
SLOPPY--
HADN'T SHAVED
IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
I WISH I COULD REMEMBER MORE
BUT IT WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE
OF LUNCH RUSH.
HMM.
( phone ringing )
( ringing )
( ringing )
The cellular customer
you are trying to reach
is away from the phone.
( typing )
( door opens )
I'LL BE READY IN A SEC!
( heavy footsteps )
SANDY?
SANDY.
( kettle whistles )
( screams )
( whistling loudly )
AH, BEAUTIFUL DAY.
SEEN FISHER?
HE'S MEETING ME HERE-- SAID HE
HAD AN APPOINTMENT. 10 O' CLOCK
HE'S MISSING IN ACTION.
I THOUGHT HE WAS SMARTER.
YEAH, ME TOO.
HE COULD JEOPARDIZE
HIS ENTIRE PAROLE.
HMM, WHAT A SHAME.
WELL...
I UNDERSTAND
YOU'RE A BOUNTY HUNTER.
THAT'S RIGHT.
DID YOU LET HIM LOOSE
TO BRING HIM IN
FOR ANOTHER FEE?
FIRST OF ALL, I
DIDN'T LET HIM LOOSE--
THE COURT SYSTEM DID.
SECOND, IF HE HAS
DONE ANYTHING WRONG
I'LL HUNT HIM DOWN,
BOUNTY OR NO BOUNTY.
WHAT A PATRIOT.
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
( siren wailing )
EXCUSE ME.
( engine starting )
IT'S OKAY.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Paramedic:
SHE WAS RAPED.
( crowd yelling )
PLEASE, PLEASE, CALM DOWN!
CALM DOWN!
NOW, WE WILL FIND TED FISHER
AND IF HE'S GUILTY,
JUSTICE WILL BE DONE.
( yelling continues )
MORE VIOLENCE...
MORE VIOLENCE
ISN'T GOING TO CHANGE
WHAT HAPPENED
TO BECKY NOTTINGHAM.
HE SAID HE WOULDN'T
LAST A WEEK.
LOOK, IF YOU KNOW
WHERE HE IS...
I WOULD TELL YOU,
BUT I DON'T.
( crowd yelling )
YOU KNOW WHO THAT GUY IS?
WHAT GUY?
THAT GUY RIGHT...
OVER THERE.
DAMN.
( knocking )
THANKS.
I HEARD YOU DIDN'T WANT
TO STAY IN THE HOSPITAL.
THAT'S OKAY.
WE'RE GOING
TO CATCH HIM.
DID YOU GET A LOOK AT HIM?
ANYTHING... BECKY?
ANYTHING AT ALL?
WAS IT FISHER?
WELL...
YOU REST, OKAY?
AND, UH...
I'LL STOP
BACK LATER.
HE WORE A MASK...
AND HE SMELLED LIKE SMOKE.
THANKS.
Fisher:
HEY, HOT STUFF.
WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?
STAYING ALIVE-- I TOLD
YOU THAT SCUM WOULDN'T WAIT.
WELL, IF YOU'D KEPT YOUR
APPOINTMENT THIS MORNING
YOU WOULDN'T BE IN TROUBLE.
COME ON, YOU REALLY THINK
I'D BE THAT OBVIOUS?
THAT STUPID?
THE LADY SAID WEAR A TIE
SO WHAT DID I DO?
I WENT OUT
AND BOUGHT A TIE.
I'M ON MY WAY
TO THE APPOINTMENT--
OKAY, LATE, I ADMIT--
WHEN I HEARD THE SIRENS
AND I DECIDED TO PLAY IT SAFE.
ALL RIGHT, LOOK, YOU'VE
GOT TO TURN YOURSELF IN.
NO WAY, COWBOY.
I'M NOT INTO SUICIDE.
THEN I'M TAKING YOU IN.
THEN TAKE ME IN...
RENO RAINES.
YEAH, WHY DON'T YOU AND I
JUST STROLL ON DOWN
TO THE STATION?
TWO WANTED CRIMINALS
BOTH CLAIMING TO BE INNOCENT.
HEY, MAN, THE PARTY
MAY NEVER STOP.
HOW'D YOU FIND OUT ABOUT ME?
COURT TV.
YEAH, A LOT OF JAILHOUSE
LAWYERS ARE BIG FANS.
I WATCHED YOUR TRIAL
EVERY DAY.
FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
I BELIEVE YOUR SOB STORY.
I THINK YOU'RE INNOCENT.
I AM.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
( sighs )
LOOK, LET ME GIVE
YOU SOME ADVICE.
WHOEVER DID THAT LITTLE
WAITRESS IS ON THE MOVE NOW.
YOU BETTER FIND HIM...
AND YOU BETTER BE QUICK.
WHERE WERE YOU THIS MORNING
AROUND 8:00 A.M.?
HEY, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
HEY, GET BACK!
I'M A FRIEND
OF BECKY NOTTINGHAM'S.
WHO IS SHE?
TRY TO CONVINCE ME
TO LET YOU KEEP BREATHING.
I, UH, I BELIEVE
I WAS ON THE PHONE
WITH MY, UH... EDITOR.
YOU'RE A NEWSPAPER REPORTER
COVERING TED FISHER.
AND NOT THE FIRST
TIME EITHER.
I COVERED HIS INITIAL ARREST,
TRIAL AND CONVICTION.
HELL, I EVEN WENT TO VISIT HIM
IN PRISON A COUPLE OF TIMES.
OLD TED'S THE BEST THING
THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
ALWAYS IN THE RIGHT PLACE
AT THE RIGHT TIME.
THERE WOULDN'T BE
ANY OTHER REASON FOR THAT
NOW, WOULD THERE?
OH, YEAH, THAT'S ME.
I GO ON A SPREE,
I RAPE 20 WOMEN
AND THEN I DON'T DO IT
AGAIN FOR EIGHT YEARS.
YOU DIDN'T MAJOR IN
PSYCHOLOGY, DID YOU?
YOU CAN BUILD UP A LOT OF
ANTICIPATION IN EIGHT YEARS--
SORT OF LIKE WAITING
FOR CHRISTMAS.
LOOK, BIKER BOY, I'M JUST
DOING MY JOB, THAT'S ALL
SO WHY DON'T YOU
GET OFF OF MY FACE?
THIS TOWN IS READY
TO BLOW SKY HIGH
AND YOU'RE THE ONE
SCRATCHING THE MATCH.
FISHER DID HIS TIME.
PAID HIS DEBT TO
SOCIETY, HAS HE?
WELL, WHY DON'T YOU
TRY TELLING THAT
TO SOME OF HIS OLD VICTIMS?
OR MAYBE HIS NEW ONE?
( phone ringing )
Cheyenne:
HELLO, SIXKILLER ENTERPRISES.
Reno:
Hey, it's me.
HEY, RENO.
WHERE ARE YOU?
I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO CALL YOU FOR 24 HOURS.
There was another rape
up here yesterday.
SAME M.O.
AS FISHER'S OTHER ONES.
Reno, I owe you an apology.
I GOT IN TOUCH WITH HIS
OLD SHRINK WHEN I GOT BACK.
What'd she have to say?
SHE THINKS HE'S INNOCENT.
SHE'D BET HER JOB
HE'S NOT THE RAPIST.
IN CASE SHE'S RIGHT,
CHECK OUT A REPORTER FOR ME.
NAME IS ADAM BURKE-- WORKS
FOR THE CARSON CITY EXAMINER.
DO WE ASSUME THERE'S A TIE-IN?
IT'S JUST A HUNCH.
( clattering )
( dogs barking )
( door creaking open )
( gasps )
( sharp exhale )
SORRY.
YOU'RE EVERYWHERE.
I'M AN EARLY RISER.
SEEN FISHER?
HE SAYS HE DIDN'T DO IT--
HE WAS SET UP.
THERE ARE PROBABLY 15 WITNESSES
WHO SWEAR HE WAS
WITH THEM LAST NIGHT.
LAST NIGHT? WHAT..?
DID I MISS SOMETHING HERE?
FORGET IT.
KAREN, WILL YOU TALK TO ME?
THE SHRINK IN JAIL
DOESN'T THINK HE DID IT.
SHE'S IN FOR A NASTY
SURPRISE.
I'M NOT HERE SAYING
HE'S INNOCENT.
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.
RIGHT.
GIVE ME SOMETHING
THAT TIES HIM
TO WHAT HAPPENED TO BECKY.
OH, LET'S SEE--
HE'S A SERIAL RAPIST
BECKY NOTTINGHAM
WAS RAPED.
DO I NEED TO DRAW
YOU A PICTURE?
THAT IS CIRCUMSTANTIAL
EVIDENCE, KAREN.
NO JURY IN THE WORLD
WILL CONVICT HIM ON THAT.
YOU GOTTA GIVE
ME SOMETHING MORE.
THEN GOD HELP US ALL
BUT IF, ON THE OFF CHANCE
YOU DO FIND ANOTHER SUSPECT
LET ME KNOW SO I DON'T
SHOOT THE ( blip )
ON SIGHT.
Reno:
WHY THE SURPRISE VISIT?
Cheyenne:
WHEN YOU HEAR WHAT WE FOUND OUT
YOU'LL KNOW WHY.
ADAM BURKE IS NOT JUST
AN EXPERT ON TED FISHER.
SINCE COVERING
FISHER'S RAPE
HE'S COVERED SEVEN OTHER RAPISTS
ALL ALONG THE WEST COAST.
SPENT MONTHS
ON EACH STORY
A YEAR ON ONE CASE.
HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT
EIGHT YEARS.
ARE YOU SAYING
WHAT I THINK YOU'RE SAYING?
HE COULD HAVE ADAPTED THEIR
M.O.s AS THE STORIES BROKE.
AN AUTOMATIC GET-OUT-
OF-JAIL-FREE CARD EVERY TIME.
WHAT A COVER.
SICK.
BRILLIANT, BUT SICK.
HE'S DRIVING A BROWN PICKUP
STAYING AT THE HOLIDAY INN.
TAIL HIM.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
FISHER'S PAROLE OFFICER WANTED
TO KNOW ABOUT SUSPECTS.
( gasping )
NO!
NO..! NO! NO!
EXCUSE ME.
I'D LIKE TO SEE
KAREN WALKER.
IT'S URGENT.
YEAH, ME, TOO--
TAKE A NUMBER AND GET IN LINE.
IT'S A LONG ONE.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND--
I'M NOT A CLIENT.
I HAVE SOME INFORMATION
SHE'LL WANT.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS.
SHE HASN'T SHOWN UP
AND DOESN'T ANSWER AT HOME.
I'VE CALLED FOR AN HOUR.
SHE LIVES TEN MINUTES AWAY.
IF YOU'LL JUST HAVE A SEAT,
I'M SURE SHE'LL BE...
( engine revving )
( tires screeching )
( gasping )
( choking )
( Karen coughing )
( clears throat )
( coughing )
( groans )
IT WAS YOU, WASN'T IT?
WHAT?
YOU SAVED HER.
YOU SHOT FISHER, RIGHT?
HERE'S THE DEAL, PAL.
AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
WITH THE BOUNTY HUNTERS
WHO BROUGHT FISHER TO TOWN
IF YOU THROW OUT YOUR THEORY
AND MAKE THE RESCUER
A MYSTERIOUS STRANGER.
YEAH, I'M GOING
TO THINK ABOUT THAT.
WELL, YOU BETTER THINK
ABOUT IT REAL FAST.
ALL RIGHT. DEAL.
HI.
I'M, UH... I'M-I'M NOT SUPPOSED
TO HAVE ANY VISITORS.
I WON'T STAY LONG.
HOW ARE YOU?
I'M ALIVE...
THANKS TO YOU
WHICH, WELL, RIGHT NOW,
THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH.
I WISH I HAD GOTTEN
HERE SOONER.
YEAH, ME TOO.
THE STAIN ON THE
CARPET'S GOING TO BE
IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT.
TIME TO REDECORATE, HUH?
TIME TO MOVE.
YEAH.
TIME FOR ME TO MOVE ON TOO.
HEY, MAN, CHEER UP.
YOU CAN'T WIN 'EM ALL.
WELL, MAYBE I DID.
HOW IS THAT?
YOU DON'T GET THE GIRL
OR YOUR PICTURE
IN THE PAPER
AND YOU DON'T
GET TO PUT
THAT REPORTER
BEHIND BARS.
WELL, I FOUND OUT THE TRUTH.
SEEMS TO ME THAT'S A VICTORY
OF SOME SORT.
where sheriff's deputies
delivered serial rapist
Ted Fisher
to begin serving his parole.
Fisher was convicted
of a particularly brutal
string of rapes
in the Eastern Sierra
eight years ago
and is due to take up residence
in Red Bluff
despite threats
and local opposition.
Tension is running high.
SEE FOR YOURSELF, MR. FISHER.
THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO WAY
I CAN GUARANTEE YOUR SAFETY.
THEY'LL HAVE TO FIND
YOU ANOTHER HOME.
I'M REAL, REAL SORRY.
OH, YEAH, I'LL JUST BET YOU ARE.
AND THEY SAID
THIRD TIME WOULD BE THE CHARM.
THEY'LL FIND YOU ANOTHER HOME.
CALIFORNIA'S
A BIG STATE.
YOU WOULDN'T BE UP FOR
REELECTION THIS YEAR, SHERIFF.
WHY DO YOU ASK?
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S IMPORTANT
TO GIVE YOUR CONSTITUENTS
WHAT THEY WANT.
YOU KICK ME OUT OF
RED BLUFF, YOU MIGHT
JUST GET REELECTED FOR LIFE.
CALL TEHACHAPI.
TELL THEM TO SEND SOMEONE
TO PICK UP MR. FISHER.
HEY...
I LIKE A MAN
WHO CAN MAKE TOUGH CHOICES.
HE WAS A COP
AND GOOD AT HIS JOB
BUT HE COMMITTED
THE ULTIMATE SIN
AND TESTIFIED AGAINST
OTHER COPS GONE BAD--
COPS THAT TRIED TO KILL HIM
BUT GOT THE WOMAN
HE LOVED INSTEAD.
FRAMED FOR MURDER,
NOW HE PROWLS THE BADLANDS
AN OUTLAW HUNTING OUTLAWS
A BOUNTY HUNTER
A RENEGADE.
ONE MINUTE-- I'M GIVING
HIM ONE MORE MINUTE
AND THEN I'M
OUT OF HERE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
COFFEE NOT STRONG ENOUGH
THIS MORNING?
HIS HIGHNESS
CALLS, SAYS IT'S
DOUBLE URGENT,
I RUSH TO GET HERE
AND HE'S A NO SHOW.
I'M OUT BREAKFAST
AND A SHOWER.
POOR BABY.
I'LL BE BACK WHEN I'M HUMAN.
NOT SO FAST,
YOUNG MAN.
PUT MY CUP DOWN.
WELCOME TO
THE PACIFIC TIME ZONE.
THANK YOU.
MOUNT UP BECAUSE WE'RE GOING
TO MAKE A LITTLE DELIVERY.
SINCE WHEN
ARE WE IN
THE COURIER BUSINESS?
SINCE THE TEN GRAND FEE.
FOR WHAT?
STATE TRIED TO DELIVER
TED FISHER
TO HIS NEW HOME
AND HAD NO LUCK.
YOU BET NO LUCK
BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN
RUN OUT OF TOWN EVERY TIME.
EXACTLY WHY WE GOT
THE JOB, FRIEND.
YOU'RE HELPING
THAT SLEAZE FISHER
WITH HIS PAROLE PLACEMENT?
NO, I'M GOING TO HELP US
WITH OUR BANK BALANCE.
WHY DON'T YOU SAVE
YOURSELF THE TROUBLE
AND LET ME HANDLE FISHER?
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO.
OW.
THIS IS THE INFAMOUS
LAKE TAHOE RAPIST
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, ISN'T IT?
20 TIMES
IN TWO YEARS?
IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE FILE.
DO YOU WATCH THE NEWS?
THREE TOWNS HAVE FORCIBLY
REJECTED THIS SLUG.
WHICH IS WHY
THE STATE
IS SO MAGNANIMOUS ABOUT OUR FEE.
WHAT IF WORD ABOUT THIS
GETS OUT?
THAT'S THE KEY--
WE KEEP IT TOP SECRET, RIGHT?
WE SLIDE DISCREETLY INTO
THE DESIGNATED HOMETOWN
WE DROP OFF MR. "F"
WITH HIS PAROLE OFFICER
THEN WE KIND OF LIKE
DIG IT OUT THE BACK ROADS
BEFORE YOU CAN SAY...
Both:
EASIEST TEN GRAND WE EVER MADE.
EXCUSE ME, YOU SEE,
THIS GENTLEMEN HAS ALREADY PAID
HIS DEBT TO SOCIETY.
OH, PLEASE.
BOB, DON'T PUT
A SUIT ON IT, OKAY?
ON SECOND THOUGHT,
I SAY WE GO FOR IT.
OH, REALLY.
WITH ALL THOSE PEOPLE
OUT THERE WHO HATE HIM
IT'S MORE DANGEROUS
IF HE'S OUT ON PAROLE.
MAYBE HE'LL HAVE AN...
UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.
SIR?
MA'AM.
THANK YOU.
WELL, I HOPE YOU'RE
UP FOR THIS.
Bobby:
WE CAN HANDLE IT.
BUT THE QUESTION
ON EVERYBODY ELSE'S MINDS IS
CAN YOU?
TOUCHE, MR. SIXKILLER.
SOMETHING WRONG?
NOT A DAMN THING.
WHAT?
WERE YOU EXPECTING
SOME DROOLING,
PANTING HALF-WIT?
I'M SURE YOU WON'T
DISAPPOINT US.
( chuckling )
RIGHT.
WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?
PICKING UP AN ESCORT--
GOT A PROBLEM?
YEAH, I DON'T LIKE SURPRISES.
NEITHER DO WE.
PARTNER.
EVERYTHING OKAY?
JUST LIKE CLOCKWORK.
TED FISHER. AND YOU ARE..?
VINCE BLACK.
VINCE BLACK.
HEARD YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE
FINDING A HOME.
PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO BE
AS HOSPITABLE
AS THEY ONCE WERE--
MUST BE THE TIMES.
COFFEE BREAK'S OVER, PAL
SO GET BACK ON THE BUS.
( chuckling ):
EXCUSE ME, BUT UNLESS
I'M MISSING SOMETHING,
I'M A FREE MAN.
OUR TRUCK, OUR RULES.
OKAY, FINE.
AS LONG AS YOU PUT THEM
ON ME YOURSELF.
OH, THAT'S NICE.
WHAT IS THAT?
COCONUT SHAMPOO?
SHUT UP.
JUST... PLAYING
BY THE RULES.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO EAT?
CHEESEBURGER AND
A CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE, PLEASE.
SHORTEN YOUR LIFE.
WE WOULDN'T WANT THAT,
WOULD WE?
YOU GOT HIM, SIS?
I GOT HIM.
LET ME SEE THOSE CUFFS.
DON'T GO AWAY.
I'LL COUNT THE SECONDS.
HELLO?
GOT ANY
DIET DRINKS?
HEY, THEY GOT...
WELL, I'LL BE DAMNED.
IF IT AIN'T
THE BY-GOD LAKE TAHOE RAPIST.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
IN MY TERRITORY?
MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS.
IF I REMEMBER,
YOU LIKE TYING YOUR VICTIMS UP.
REAL MANLY.
LOOK, WHY DON'T YOU
JUST GIVE ME A BREAK?
THEY SHOULD HAVE
CUT YOUR STONES
AND HAD YOU LOCKED UP.
DAMN PERVERT!
BACK OFF!
( grunting )
YOU MAKE IT TOUGH
FOR REGULAR GUYS
WHO WOMEN ARE THINKING
ARE ALL LIKE YOU.
YOU SCUM. YOU...
UH-UH-UH, NO, NO...
( grunting )
( groans )
EH, MY NOSE...
OH, GOD, YOU BROKE
MY DAMN NOSE.
THAT'S WHAT YOU GET
FOR STICKING IT
WHERE IT DON'T BELONG.
GET THE HELL
OUT OF HERE.
HEY.
YOU OKAY?
YEAH, I'M PERFECT, THANKS.
WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GET
THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD
BEFORE OUR HANDS
GET REALLY FULL?
OH, RELAX.
REMEMBER?
Reno and Cheyenne:
"EASIEST TEN GRAND
WE'VE EVER MADE."
RIGHT THERE.
YOU GOT ANY PLANS, FISHER?
WHY SHOULD I HAVE ANY PLANS?
YOU SPENT EIGHT YEARS THINKING
ABOUT LIFE AFTER PRISON.
ISN'T THAT WHAT
INMATES THINK ABOUT?
WELL, I THINK I'LL...
MAKE MY PAROLE APPOINTMENTS
DRINK A FEW MILKSHAKES
AND KEEP A VERY LOW PROFILE.
THINK YOU'RE UP TO IT?
THE STATISTICS ON REHABILITATION
OF CAREER RAPISTS SHOW THAT...
I'M INNOCENT.
OH, PLEASE.
DO I HAVE TO CUFF AND GAG YOU?
I DIDN'T DO IT. I'M INNOCENT.
LOOK, I DON'T EXPECT YOU
TO BELIEVE ME--
NOBODY ELSE HAS--
BUT I JUST SPENT
EIGHT YEARS OF MY LIFE
DOING TIME WHILE SOME RAPIST
WALKED AROUND FREE ON MY TICKET.
THE NATIVE AMERICAN
INDIAN JUDGE SAYS THAT'S A 9.5.
WHAT ABOUT YOU, CHEY?
THE CONTENT'S NOT ORIGINAL...
AND YOU GET
ZERO POINTS FOR STYLE.
I DON'T REALLY GIVE A DAMN
WHAT YOU THINK
BUT SOMEBODY OUGHT
TO CONSIDER THE REAL RAPIST
BECAUSE I'M OUT NOW,
AND THAT MEANS
HE GETS A NEW FREE PASS.
NOW, THAT'S... ORIGINAL.
I'M GOING TO BED.
( sighs )
YEAH, THAT'S A...
THAT'S A TOUGH PAIR
OF PARTNERS YOU GOT.
WELL, SENTIMENTALITY
ISN'T IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I KEEP MY OPINIONS TO MYSELF.
HAVE YOU EVER READ ABOUT...
WHAT THIS GUY DOES
TO HIS VICTIMS?
WELL, FIRST HE
KNOCKS THEM AROUND A WHILE.
THEN HE TIES THEM UP
WITH THEIR OWN STOCKINGS.
HE'S A SMOKER.
HE LIKES TO WORK
WITH A CIGARETTE.
HE'S ONE SICK BASTARD.
I'LL TELL YOU, WOMEN
ARE RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING.
WHATEVER IT IS...
RAPE IS DEFINITELY NOT SEX.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT
IF PEOPLE THOUGHT YOU DID THAT?
NO, THANKS.
BUT WHAT IF YOU'RE INNOCENT?
EIGHT YEARS OF HELL...
FOR SOMETHING YOU NEVER DID--
YOUR ENTIRE LIFE
TURNED UPSIDE DOWN
BECAUSE OF SOME
DAMN POLICE FOUL-UP.
WHY ARE YOU
TELLING ME THIS, TED?
'CAUSE UNTIL SOMEBODY
FINDS THAT BASTARD...
I'LL NEVER HAVE A LIFE...
NO MATTER WHERE
THEY TRY AND BURY ME.
( angry shouting )
DAMN.
SON OF A...
HOW THE HELL..?
NICE.
DON'T SAY IT.
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
WE'RE GONNA SAY?
I'M NOT HEARING IT.
HEAR WHAT?
"EASIEST TEN GRAND... "
WE'VE BEEN MADE, BOYS.
LET'S DO IT.
LET HIM GO!
OUR DAUGHTERS... WILL NOT...
WILL NOT LIVE IN FEAR!
WELL, YOU CERTAINLY DID
YOUR DUTY.
I WON'T LAST A WEEK.
AW...
YOU JUST SIGNED
MY DEATH WARRANT.
LISTEN, WE'LL
TAKE IT FROM HERE.
GOOD LUCK.
A WEEK, YOU HEAR ME?
LET'S GO.
SHERIFF, BOBBY SIXKILLER.
I'M HERE DELIVERING
MR. FISHER
SO HE CAN START
BEGINNING HIS PAROLE.
WELCOME TO BISHOP,
MR. SIXKILLER.
SHERIFF DAN MACKIE.
MY SISTER, CHEYENNE,
AND HERE YOU GO.
TED FISHER?
THIS IS
KAREN WALKER--
STATE CORRECTIONS
OFFICER
IN CHARGE OF
MR. FISHER'S CASE.
MY, WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
WATCH IT, TED.
( crowd yelling and jeering )
FRANK, LOCK THE DOOR.
YOUR FIRST PAROLE MEETING
IS TOMORROW AT 5:00 P.M.
DON'T BE LATE.
WEAR A TIE.
YES, MA'AM.
DON'T DISS ME, MR. FISHER.
YOUR PSYCHIATRIST MAY THINK
YOU'RE REHABILITATED.
I'M THE FIRST PERSON
YOU'LL HAVE TO CONVINCE OF THAT.
LOOKS LIKE WE'RE
DONE HERE, SIS.
YOU WILL CALL THE STATE?
WE'LL WIRE YOUR PAYMENT
WITHIN 24 HOURS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND...
GOOD RIDDANCE.
MR. SIXKILLER, WHY DON'T YOUR
FOLKS TAKE THE BACK ENTRANCE?
EXCELLENT IDEA.
HASTA LA VISTA.
HEY.
NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
WELL, THIS
SURE HAS BEEN
A VERY SPECIAL
EXPERIENCE.
SURE NICE TO BE APPRECIATED
FOR A JOB WELL DONE.
OKAY, YOU TWO WERE RIGHT;
I WAS WRONG.
WHAT DO YOU SAY
WE HIT THE TRAIL?
CHALK THIS UP
TO HISTORY.
I CAN'T DO THAT.
Cheyenne:
UH-OH.
HE'S GOT THAT LOOK.
WHAT LOOK?
THAT WHAT-IF-TED-FISHER-
REALLY-IS-INNOCENT LOOK.
Bobby:
GREAT, RENO.
WHAT HAPPENS IF HE'S GUILTY?
SOMETIMES GUILTY GUYS
ARE REALLY GUILTY.
THAT'S MY POINT--
EITHER WAY I'VE GOT TO STAY.
WHAT FOR?
SAY FISHER'S
INNOCENT.
IF I DON'T STAY,
THE TOWN MIGHT HANG HIM.
AND IF HE'S GUILTY?
IF HE IS, SOMEBODY'S GOT
TO PROTECT THESE PEOPLE.
WHY DO YOU MAKE THINGS
SO COMPLICATED?
I'LL BE BACK IN A FEW DAYS.
COME ON, LET'S GO.
AND YOU... KEEP A LOW PROFILE.
CALL ME THE INVISIBLE MAN.
GOOD LUCK.
HOW WAS EVERYTHING?
TERRIFIC.
THAT'S YOUR BIKE OUT FRONT,
ISN'T IT?
YEAH.
BECKY NOTTINGHAM.
HI, BECKY. I'M VINCE BLACK.
MUST BE WONDERFUL JUST TO GET
IN THE WIND AND TAKE OFF
WHENEVER YOU WANT TO.
WELL, I GUESS
IT HAS IT'S ADVANTAGES.
I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE MYSELF
WHEN I GET THE
MONEY TOGETHER.
WHERE YOU GOING?
SAN JOSE.
MY COUSIN OWNS THIS HAIR SALON
AND SHE SAYS IF I
GO TO BEAUTY SCHOOL
I COULD HAVE MY OWN STATION.
SURE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO MISS
A NICE PLACE LIKE THIS?
ARE YOU KIDDING?
THAT RAPIST COMING HERE?
HE IS THE BIGGEST THING
TO HAPPEN IN THIS TOWN
IN AT LEAST EIGHT YEARS.
IF YOU ASK ME,
THAT'S PRETTY SICK.
ORDER'S UP.
WELL, I'LL SEE YOU.
BYE.
BYE.
HEY, AREN'T YOU
ONE OF THOSE GUYS
THAT BROUGHT FISHER UP
FROM RED BLUFF?
NOPE.
YEAH, YOU ARE.
WHAT WAS HE LIKE?
I DON'T REMEMBER.
SURE, YOU DO.
Karen:
YOUR PSYCHIATRIST NOTED
THAT YOU TRACE THE SOURCE
OF YOUR PROBLEMS BACK
TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH YOUR MOTHER.
THAT'S A LITTLE PAT,
ISN'T IT?
MAYBE.
ON THE OTHER HAND...
SHE DID USED TO LOCK ME
IN HER BEDROOM CLOSET
WHEN HER BOYFRIENDS
CAME OVER--
MAKE ME LISTEN.
HOW OLD WERE YOU
WHEN SHE DID THAT?
OH, THREE OR
FOUR, I THINK
WHEN IT FIRST
STARTED--
AROUND 11 WHEN I REALIZED
I WAS STRONGER THAN SHE WAS.
SINCE YOUR INCARCERATION
YOU THINK YOUR ATTITUDE
TOWARDS WOMEN HAS CHANGED?
AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF THERAPY?
GEE, I CERTAINLY HOPE SO.
YOU EVER FANTASIZE
ABOUT YOUR VICTIMS?
WHAT VICTIMS?
YOU EVER DREAM ABOUT THEM?
THERE ARE NO VICTIMS.
YOU EVER DREAM ABOUT SEX?
GETTING A LITTLE PERSONAL,
AREN'T WE?
ANSWER THE QUESTION.
OKAY...
YEAH, I DREAM ABOUT SEX.
WHAT MAN DOESN'T?
BUT, NO, SORRY, MY DREAMS
DO NOT INCLUDE VIOLENCE.
SO HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT WOMEN NOW?
SAME WAY YOU'D FEEL
IF YOU HADN'T HAD ONE
FOR EIGHT YEARS.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO
FOR RELAXATION?
I WATCH...
COURT T.V. AND A LOT OF
MOVIES.
WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE ACTRESS?
JODY FOSTER.
FAVORITE FILM.
THE ACCUSED.
MR. FISHER, PLEASE.
ISN'T THAT WHAT
YOU WANT TO HEAR?!
THAT'S NOT THE POINT.
LOOK... DO YOU HAVE
ANY IDEA HOW MANY TIMES
I'VE BEEN ASKED THESE QUESTIONS?
I MEAN, SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW,
I CHANGE THE ANSWERS
JUST SO I DON'T GET BORED.
MR. FISHER...
LOOK, MS. WALKER...
I'LL MAKE YOU A DEAL.
YOU TELL ME
WHAT YOU WANT
ME TO SAY
AND I'LL SAY
IT, OKAY?
IT'S SIMPLE, IT'S CLEAN.
IT'LL SAVE US BOTH
A LOT OF TIME.
I DON'T WANT AN ACT.
I WANT TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE
AND WHAT YOUR PROBLEMS ARE
SO I CAN HELP YOU LIVE
IN THIS COMMUNITY.
YOU'RE SERIOUS.
DEAD SERIOUS. YOUR TIME IS UP.
YOU'LL SEE ME TUESDAYS
AND FRIDAYS AT 10:00 A.M.
WHAT IF, UM...
WHAT IF THAT ISN'T ENOUGH?
EXCUSE ME?
I MEAN, WHAT IF I, YOU KNOW
WANT TO SEE YOU...
FIVE TIMES A WEEK?
I'LL MAKE THAT DECISION.
OKAY.
WELL, MAKE THIS ONE...
HAVE DINNER WITH ME TONIGHT.
YOUR TIME IS UP.
NO PROBLEM.
HEY, I'M PATIENT.
I CAN WAIT.
CAN I HELP?
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
ONE OF THE TEAM WHO DELIVERED
TED FISHER-- VINCE BLACK.
I DIDN'T SEE YOU.
I WAS OUTSIDE
WHEN THEY TOOK HIM INSIDE.
THE WELCOMING COMMITTEE
WAS JUST A LITTLE OVERWROUGHT.
YOU KNOW. YOU SURE I CAN'T...
NO, NO.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT FISHER.
I'M SORRY.
I'M NOT PERMITTED TO.
ON THE WAY OVER HERE,
HE CLAIMED HE DIDN'T DO IT.
SAID IT WAS A SETUP.
YOU BELIEVE THAT.
DIDN'T SAY THAT.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
I'D LIKE YOUR OPINION.
HE'S A SLEAZEBAG,
HE MAKES MY SKIN CRAWL
AND FRANKLY, MR. BLACK,
SO DO YOU.
SO I WOULD
APPRECIATE IT
IF YOU WOULD GET
OFF MY PROPERTY
SO I CAN ENJOY
A FEW MOMENTS
OF A PRIVATE LIFE.
ABSOLUTELY.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
MM-HMM.
Waitress:
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE?
HOW'S THE TUNA FISH
SANDWICH?
FINE, IF YOU LIKE TUNA.
OKAY.
YOU KNOW, ON SECOND THOUGHT
I THINK I'LL HAVE
TODAY'S SPECIAL.
THAT'LL BE 4.69.
OKAY.
UM...
DO YOU HAVE CHANGE
FOR A HUNDRED?
YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING
HOW MUCH MONEY
YOU CAN SAVE
WHEN YOU DON'T TOUCH
YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
FOR EIGHT YEARS.
I CHECKED MY PASSBOOK
THIS MORNING--
$70,000.
THAT'S WORTH CELEBRATING,
DON'T YOU THINK?
HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?
MY PAROLE OFFICER
TURNED ME DOWN.
ARE YOU FREE FOR DINNER?
I GUESS NOT.
THAT'S A SHAME.
BYE.
FISHER?
WHY ARE YOU
STILL IN TOWN?
OH, THE CHARMS
OF A SMALL TOWN...
ACTUALLY, I WAS IN THERE,
AND I SAW WHAT HAPPENED.
I GUESS THAT'S THEIR WAY
OF MAKING YOU FEEL WELCOME.
WOMEN IN THIS TOWN
ARE SCARED.
THEY SHOULD BE--
ONE OF THEM'S NEXT.
FISHER...
MAN, LOOK,
I DON'T MEAN ME.
I'M TALKING ABOUT
THE REAL GUY, THE
ONE STILL OUT THERE
THE ONE WHO'S
BEEN WAITING.
RAPE IS A CRIME OF IMPULSE.
NOBODY WITH THAT KIND
OF ANGER
COULD POSSIBLY HOLD
IT IN FOR EIGHT YEARS.
HIS PSYCH PROFILE
WAS MINE--
OFFICIALLY, THAT IS.
I MEMORIZED IT WHILE
I WAS IN THE JOINT.
HELL, MAN,
I OBSESSED ON IT.
WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT THE PSYCHOTIC
WHO YOU WERE
SERVING TIME FOR?
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO HE IS?
ONLY HIS MIND,
UNFORTUNATELY.
YOU KNOW, BUT SOMETIMES,
I GET THIS FEELING
THAT I, I DON'T KNOW,
I'VE SEEN HIM
OR THAT MAYBE I EVEN
KNOW HIM SLIGHTLY.
HE KNOWS ENOUGH ABOUT YOU
TO SET YOU UP LIKE HE DID.
YEAH, AND NOW HE'S HERE.
IN BISHOP?
TRUST ME.
I CAN FEEL HIM.
Becky:
CLOSING TIME.
SORRY.
TELL ME SOMETHING, BECKY.
YOU'RE NOT OLD ENOUGH
TO REMEMBER
TED FISHER'S CRIMES,
ARE YOU?
YOU BET I AM.
I WAS 14.
FOR THE WHOLE YEAR
BEFORE THEY CAUGHT HIM
HE WAS HEADLINE
NEWS-- EVEN HERE.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW,
TAHOE'S 200 MILES AWAY
BUT IT SURE FELT
LIKE HE WAS RIGHT
IN OUR OWN BACKYARD.
MAN, HE GAVE ME
THE WORST NIGHTMARES.
I CAN IMAGINE.
MY GIRLFRIEND
REY'S PARENTS
THEY INVITED ME
TO THE LAKE
FOR TWO WEEKS
THAT SUMMER.
AND MY MOM WAS TOO
AFRAID TO LET ME GO.
YOU SOUND LIKE IT
JUST HAPPENED YESTERDAY.
HMM.
( chuckles ):
MAN HE SCARED
THE DAYLIGHTS
OUT OF JANE TODAY.
I THINK IT
WAS HIS EYES.
OH, YOU'RE NOT
THE ONLY ONE
ASKING ABOUT HIM.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
SOME GUY CAME IN HERE EARLIER,
ASKING A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF.
WHAT'D HE LOOK LIKE?
HE WAS PRETTY
SLOPPY--
HADN'T SHAVED
IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
I WISH I COULD REMEMBER MORE
BUT IT WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE
OF LUNCH RUSH.
HMM.
( phone ringing )
( ringing )
( ringing )
The cellular customer
you are trying to reach
is away from the phone.
( typing )
( door opens )
I'LL BE READY IN A SEC!
( heavy footsteps )
SANDY?
SANDY.
( kettle whistles )
( screams )
( whistling loudly )
AH, BEAUTIFUL DAY.
SEEN FISHER?
HE'S MEETING ME HERE-- SAID HE
HAD AN APPOINTMENT. 10 O' CLOCK
HE'S MISSING IN ACTION.
I THOUGHT HE WAS SMARTER.
YEAH, ME TOO.
HE COULD JEOPARDIZE
HIS ENTIRE PAROLE.
HMM, WHAT A SHAME.
WELL...
I UNDERSTAND
YOU'RE A BOUNTY HUNTER.
THAT'S RIGHT.
DID YOU LET HIM LOOSE
TO BRING HIM IN
FOR ANOTHER FEE?
FIRST OF ALL, I
DIDN'T LET HIM LOOSE--
THE COURT SYSTEM DID.
SECOND, IF HE HAS
DONE ANYTHING WRONG
I'LL HUNT HIM DOWN,
BOUNTY OR NO BOUNTY.
WHAT A PATRIOT.
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
( siren wailing )
EXCUSE ME.
( engine starting )
IT'S OKAY.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Paramedic:
SHE WAS RAPED.
( crowd yelling )
PLEASE, PLEASE, CALM DOWN!
CALM DOWN!
NOW, WE WILL FIND TED FISHER
AND IF HE'S GUILTY,
JUSTICE WILL BE DONE.
( yelling continues )
MORE VIOLENCE...
MORE VIOLENCE
ISN'T GOING TO CHANGE
WHAT HAPPENED
TO BECKY NOTTINGHAM.
HE SAID HE WOULDN'T
LAST A WEEK.
LOOK, IF YOU KNOW
WHERE HE IS...
I WOULD TELL YOU,
BUT I DON'T.
( crowd yelling )
YOU KNOW WHO THAT GUY IS?
WHAT GUY?
THAT GUY RIGHT...
OVER THERE.
DAMN.
( knocking )
THANKS.
I HEARD YOU DIDN'T WANT
TO STAY IN THE HOSPITAL.
THAT'S OKAY.
WE'RE GOING
TO CATCH HIM.
DID YOU GET A LOOK AT HIM?
ANYTHING... BECKY?
ANYTHING AT ALL?
WAS IT FISHER?
WELL...
YOU REST, OKAY?
AND, UH...
I'LL STOP
BACK LATER.
HE WORE A MASK...
AND HE SMELLED LIKE SMOKE.
THANKS.
Fisher:
HEY, HOT STUFF.
WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?
STAYING ALIVE-- I TOLD
YOU THAT SCUM WOULDN'T WAIT.
WELL, IF YOU'D KEPT YOUR
APPOINTMENT THIS MORNING
YOU WOULDN'T BE IN TROUBLE.
COME ON, YOU REALLY THINK
I'D BE THAT OBVIOUS?
THAT STUPID?
THE LADY SAID WEAR A TIE
SO WHAT DID I DO?
I WENT OUT
AND BOUGHT A TIE.
I'M ON MY WAY
TO THE APPOINTMENT--
OKAY, LATE, I ADMIT--
WHEN I HEARD THE SIRENS
AND I DECIDED TO PLAY IT SAFE.
ALL RIGHT, LOOK, YOU'VE
GOT TO TURN YOURSELF IN.
NO WAY, COWBOY.
I'M NOT INTO SUICIDE.
THEN I'M TAKING YOU IN.
THEN TAKE ME IN...
RENO RAINES.
YEAH, WHY DON'T YOU AND I
JUST STROLL ON DOWN
TO THE STATION?
TWO WANTED CRIMINALS
BOTH CLAIMING TO BE INNOCENT.
HEY, MAN, THE PARTY
MAY NEVER STOP.
HOW'D YOU FIND OUT ABOUT ME?
COURT TV.
YEAH, A LOT OF JAILHOUSE
LAWYERS ARE BIG FANS.
I WATCHED YOUR TRIAL
EVERY DAY.
FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
I BELIEVE YOUR SOB STORY.
I THINK YOU'RE INNOCENT.
I AM.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
( sighs )
LOOK, LET ME GIVE
YOU SOME ADVICE.
WHOEVER DID THAT LITTLE
WAITRESS IS ON THE MOVE NOW.
YOU BETTER FIND HIM...
AND YOU BETTER BE QUICK.
WHERE WERE YOU THIS MORNING
AROUND 8:00 A.M.?
HEY, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
HEY, GET BACK!
I'M A FRIEND
OF BECKY NOTTINGHAM'S.
WHO IS SHE?
TRY TO CONVINCE ME
TO LET YOU KEEP BREATHING.
I, UH, I BELIEVE
I WAS ON THE PHONE
WITH MY, UH... EDITOR.
YOU'RE A NEWSPAPER REPORTER
COVERING TED FISHER.
AND NOT THE FIRST
TIME EITHER.
I COVERED HIS INITIAL ARREST,
TRIAL AND CONVICTION.
HELL, I EVEN WENT TO VISIT HIM
IN PRISON A COUPLE OF TIMES.
OLD TED'S THE BEST THING
THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
ALWAYS IN THE RIGHT PLACE
AT THE RIGHT TIME.
THERE WOULDN'T BE
ANY OTHER REASON FOR THAT
NOW, WOULD THERE?
OH, YEAH, THAT'S ME.
I GO ON A SPREE,
I RAPE 20 WOMEN
AND THEN I DON'T DO IT
AGAIN FOR EIGHT YEARS.
YOU DIDN'T MAJOR IN
PSYCHOLOGY, DID YOU?
YOU CAN BUILD UP A LOT OF
ANTICIPATION IN EIGHT YEARS--
SORT OF LIKE WAITING
FOR CHRISTMAS.
LOOK, BIKER BOY, I'M JUST
DOING MY JOB, THAT'S ALL
SO WHY DON'T YOU
GET OFF OF MY FACE?
THIS TOWN IS READY
TO BLOW SKY HIGH
AND YOU'RE THE ONE
SCRATCHING THE MATCH.
FISHER DID HIS TIME.
PAID HIS DEBT TO
SOCIETY, HAS HE?
WELL, WHY DON'T YOU
TRY TELLING THAT
TO SOME OF HIS OLD VICTIMS?
OR MAYBE HIS NEW ONE?
( phone ringing )
Cheyenne:
HELLO, SIXKILLER ENTERPRISES.
Reno:
Hey, it's me.
HEY, RENO.
WHERE ARE YOU?
I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO CALL YOU FOR 24 HOURS.
There was another rape
up here yesterday.
SAME M.O.
AS FISHER'S OTHER ONES.
Reno, I owe you an apology.
I GOT IN TOUCH WITH HIS
OLD SHRINK WHEN I GOT BACK.
What'd she have to say?
SHE THINKS HE'S INNOCENT.
SHE'D BET HER JOB
HE'S NOT THE RAPIST.
IN CASE SHE'S RIGHT,
CHECK OUT A REPORTER FOR ME.
NAME IS ADAM BURKE-- WORKS
FOR THE CARSON CITY EXAMINER.
DO WE ASSUME THERE'S A TIE-IN?
IT'S JUST A HUNCH.
( clattering )
( dogs barking )
( door creaking open )
( gasps )
( sharp exhale )
SORRY.
YOU'RE EVERYWHERE.
I'M AN EARLY RISER.
SEEN FISHER?
HE SAYS HE DIDN'T DO IT--
HE WAS SET UP.
THERE ARE PROBABLY 15 WITNESSES
WHO SWEAR HE WAS
WITH THEM LAST NIGHT.
LAST NIGHT? WHAT..?
DID I MISS SOMETHING HERE?
FORGET IT.
KAREN, WILL YOU TALK TO ME?
THE SHRINK IN JAIL
DOESN'T THINK HE DID IT.
SHE'S IN FOR A NASTY
SURPRISE.
I'M NOT HERE SAYING
HE'S INNOCENT.
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.
RIGHT.
GIVE ME SOMETHING
THAT TIES HIM
TO WHAT HAPPENED TO BECKY.
OH, LET'S SEE--
HE'S A SERIAL RAPIST
BECKY NOTTINGHAM
WAS RAPED.
DO I NEED TO DRAW
YOU A PICTURE?
THAT IS CIRCUMSTANTIAL
EVIDENCE, KAREN.
NO JURY IN THE WORLD
WILL CONVICT HIM ON THAT.
YOU GOTTA GIVE
ME SOMETHING MORE.
THEN GOD HELP US ALL
BUT IF, ON THE OFF CHANCE
YOU DO FIND ANOTHER SUSPECT
LET ME KNOW SO I DON'T
SHOOT THE ( blip )
ON SIGHT.
Reno:
WHY THE SURPRISE VISIT?
Cheyenne:
WHEN YOU HEAR WHAT WE FOUND OUT
YOU'LL KNOW WHY.
ADAM BURKE IS NOT JUST
AN EXPERT ON TED FISHER.
SINCE COVERING
FISHER'S RAPE
HE'S COVERED SEVEN OTHER RAPISTS
ALL ALONG THE WEST COAST.
SPENT MONTHS
ON EACH STORY
A YEAR ON ONE CASE.
HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT
EIGHT YEARS.
ARE YOU SAYING
WHAT I THINK YOU'RE SAYING?
HE COULD HAVE ADAPTED THEIR
M.O.s AS THE STORIES BROKE.
AN AUTOMATIC GET-OUT-
OF-JAIL-FREE CARD EVERY TIME.
WHAT A COVER.
SICK.
BRILLIANT, BUT SICK.
HE'S DRIVING A BROWN PICKUP
STAYING AT THE HOLIDAY INN.
TAIL HIM.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
FISHER'S PAROLE OFFICER WANTED
TO KNOW ABOUT SUSPECTS.
( gasping )
NO!
NO..! NO! NO!
EXCUSE ME.
I'D LIKE TO SEE
KAREN WALKER.
IT'S URGENT.
YEAH, ME, TOO--
TAKE A NUMBER AND GET IN LINE.
IT'S A LONG ONE.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND--
I'M NOT A CLIENT.
I HAVE SOME INFORMATION
SHE'LL WANT.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS.
SHE HASN'T SHOWN UP
AND DOESN'T ANSWER AT HOME.
I'VE CALLED FOR AN HOUR.
SHE LIVES TEN MINUTES AWAY.
IF YOU'LL JUST HAVE A SEAT,
I'M SURE SHE'LL BE...
( engine revving )
( tires screeching )
( gasping )
( choking )
( Karen coughing )
( clears throat )
( coughing )
( groans )
IT WAS YOU, WASN'T IT?
WHAT?
YOU SAVED HER.
YOU SHOT FISHER, RIGHT?
HERE'S THE DEAL, PAL.
AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
WITH THE BOUNTY HUNTERS
WHO BROUGHT FISHER TO TOWN
IF YOU THROW OUT YOUR THEORY
AND MAKE THE RESCUER
A MYSTERIOUS STRANGER.
YEAH, I'M GOING
TO THINK ABOUT THAT.
WELL, YOU BETTER THINK
ABOUT IT REAL FAST.
ALL RIGHT. DEAL.
HI.
I'M, UH... I'M-I'M NOT SUPPOSED
TO HAVE ANY VISITORS.
I WON'T STAY LONG.
HOW ARE YOU?
I'M ALIVE...
THANKS TO YOU
WHICH, WELL, RIGHT NOW,
THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH.
I WISH I HAD GOTTEN
HERE SOONER.
YEAH, ME TOO.
THE STAIN ON THE
CARPET'S GOING TO BE
IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT.
TIME TO REDECORATE, HUH?
TIME TO MOVE.
YEAH.
TIME FOR ME TO MOVE ON TOO.
HEY, MAN, CHEER UP.
YOU CAN'T WIN 'EM ALL.
WELL, MAYBE I DID.
HOW IS THAT?
YOU DON'T GET THE GIRL
OR YOUR PICTURE
IN THE PAPER
AND YOU DON'T
GET TO PUT
THAT REPORTER
BEHIND BARS.
WELL, I FOUND OUT THE TRUTH.
SEEMS TO ME THAT'S A VICTORY
OF SOME SORT.
